The Inventor Of Dynamite

Alfred Bernhard Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, and armaments manufacturer.He was the inventor of dynamite.Nobel found that when nitroglycerin was incorporated in an absorbent inert substance like kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth) it became safer and more convenient to handle, and this mixture he patented in 1867 as 'dynamite'. Nobel demonstrated his explosive for the first time that year, at a quarry in Redhill, Surrey, England.In 1888 Alfred's brother Ludvig died while visiting Cannes and a French newspaper erroneously published Alfred's obituary.It condemned him for his invention of dynamite and is said to have brought about his decision to leave a better legacy after his death.The obituary stated, Le marchand de la mort est mort ("The merchant of death is dead")and went on to say, "Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday." Alfred was disappointed with what he read and concerned with how he would be remembered.
On 27 November 1895, at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris, Nobel signed his last will and testament and set aside the bulk of his estate to establish the Nobel Prizes, to be awarded annually without distinction of nationality. After taxes and bequests to individuals, Nobel's will allocated 94% of his total assets, 31,225,000 Swedish kronor, to establish the five Nobel Prizes. This converted to GBP £1,687,837 at the time.
The Nobel Prize is an award for an extraordinary international achievement for mankind in the fields of science, literature, peace, medicine, or economics. It is awarded on December 10th on the anniversary of Alfred Nobel to whom this award is named. The award is decided to be given to a person (or people) who made an important achievement in their field the following year. The awards are decided to be given to people associated boards agree upon and has been given out since 1901.
Nobel Prize for physics has been given out since the start of this event. It is actually the first category mentioned in Alfred Nobel’s will. Physics at that time was considered the most important science. Alfred’s research even was closely tied to physics. This award is awarded by the Swedish Academy of sciences.
The Nobel Prize is not awarded every year for each field because some failed to make achievements so were not given out. The peace prize was not awarded for twenty nonconsecutive years. Physics for six, chemistry for eight, medicine for nine, literature for seven, and economic sciences zero. Forty four Nobel Prizes have been awarded to women. The youngest person to receive a Nobel Prize is Lawrence Bragg in physics, now Malala(17) from Pakistan as a awardee for Nobel Peace Prize. The Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway, while the other prizes are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden.

Masters of water tech


Petra (The Red Rose City) was the glittering capital of the Nabataean empire of King Aretas IV (9 B.C. to 40 A.D.).It was On the edge of the Arabian Desert.One of the new seven wonders of the world.Arabian desert The Nabateans became extremely wealthy from the caravans, and the city grew to an estimated 30,000 people.The ancient desert city of Petra,Jordan An important center for commerce, where Arabian incense, Chinese silks, and Indian spices were traded.Petra as the capital of the Nabataeans and the center of their caravan trade. Enclosed by towering rocks and watered by a perennial stream, Petra not only possessed the advantages of a fortress, but controlled the main commercial routes which passed through it to Gaza in the west, to Bosra and Damascus in the north, to Aqaba and Leuce Come on the Red Sea, and across the desert to the Persian Gulf.Excavations have demonstrated that it was the ability of the Nabataeans to control the water supply that led to the rise of the desert city, creating an artificial oasis. The area is visited by flash floods and archaeological evidence demonstrates the Nabataeans controlled these floods by the use of dams, cisterns and water conduits. These innovations stored water for prolonged periods of drought, and enabled the city to prosper from its sale.Al Khazneh is one of the most elaborate temples in the ancient Edomite city of Petra. As with most of the other buildings in this ancient town, including the Monastery, this structure was carved out of a sandstone rock face.  It has classical Greek-influenced architecture, and is a popular tourist attraction.Al Khazneh is one of more than 800 monuments in Petra. Much of the city is still underground.Al Khazneh, also known as the Treasury, is one of the most impressive sites of ancient Petra.

Hunt For Prey

Hunting is the natural habit of wild animals.Tigers are also hunt for prey, which even include fearsome predators such as crocodiles, leopards and pythons. When fighting a crocodile, they go for the eyes using their paws.This scenario is made possible when thirsty tigers go for a drink by the rivers, where mugger crocodiles live. Usually, the crocodile ends up being disabled while the tiger is able to escape. There are cases, however, where mugger crocodiles end up killing the tigers.In the case of leopards, they try to hunt at different times from tigers to avoid competition. Usually though, leopards and tigers are able to co-exist in peace when there is enough prey to go around. Again, exemptions to the rule exist.Tigers even go against wolf populations in places where the two species somehow co-exist. It is all about showing who's boss. Packs of wolves do not just go without a fight. They do attack and even kill tigers when the two species clash because of food. This fight, however, finds both sides suffering a lot of losses.Meanwhile, solitary creatures manage to co-exist with tigers. A golden jackal without a pack, for example, will trail a tiger for food. There is even a case of a jackal finding itself among three tigers for the sake of following their trail of food.As for competition between species, Siberian tigers and brown bears can clash because of food. Usually though, both sides would try to avoid a confrontation. Still, there are cases of tigers killing bear cubs, as well as adult bears. A tiger living in the Russian Far East actually includes Asiatic black bears as well as brown bears into 5 to 8 percent of its diet.
Brown bears have also been recorded to have killed tigers when defending themselves or avenging or disputing over kills. There have been bears that have left their hibernation to attempt to steal away the tigers’ kills. Of course, the tigers will also defend their prey.Sloth bears, meanwhile, are aggressive and are fierce enough to shoo away young tigers from their kills. However, adult Bengal tigers usually hunt for sloth bears.

Soul Leaving Body

Our technology is advancing in amazing and interesting ways.The same technology which had been used to photograph peoples auras for the last couple of years, is now being used to photograph the 'souls' of a dying person leaving their body. Now scientists have taken GDV (gas-discharge visualization) photographs of a person as he was dying. In the photos, it could be seen that the area of the belly lost its life force (the purported soul) first, followed by the head. The heart and groin were the last to lose their life force, in that order.
`GDV Camera by Dr. Korotkov`is the first device in the world, which measures the distribution of energy levels of biological objects (energy gomeokinesis) .Operation of the complex is based on computer registration of evoked bioelectrographic signals and estimation of state by means of non-linear mathematics and "data mining" methods. The technique is based on long-term developments of Russian scientists, it has successfully passed clinic tests in Russia, England, the USA, Germany, Slovenia, and is acknowledged in many countries. 
Konstantin Korotkov is Professor of Physics at St. Petersburg State Technical University in Russia. He has published over 70 papers in leading journals on physics and biology, and he holds 12 patents on biophysics inventions. Prof. Korotkov has led a research career for over 25 years, combining rigorous scientific method with an insatiable curiosity about things of the spirit and the soul with deep respect for all life. He is also a scholar in philosophy and a serious mountaineer of 20 years experience. He has given lectures, seminars and training sessions in 24 countries, presenting papers and workshops at more than 40 national and international conferences.
