New Dubai 23-Seater Superbus Travels At 250km/h
A brand-new, fully electric superbus has been purchased to make traveling between Dubai and Abu-Dhabi more enjoyable. It is designed to be capable of driving 250 km/h whilst carrying 23 passengers! I believe the term “amazeballs” is appropriate here.

The Superbus concept is the work of an astronaut and a former Formula One aerodynamics expert. It was developed at the Delft University of Technology in Holland under the direction of Professor Wubbo Ockels, who in 1985 became the first Dutch citizen in space when he blasted off on board the space shuttle Challenger.
The midnight-blue bus travels at a top speed of 250 km/h, is 15 metres long, 2,5 metres wide and 1,65 metres high and has eight gullwing-style doors on each side.

It is made of lightweight materials including aluminium, carbon fibre, fibreglass and polycarbonate, and weighs just 9 500kg fully loaded. The vehicle would carry passengers in levels of comfort that the team says would be comparable to traveling in a luxury sedan.

Cage of Death - Australia

Tourists Cage-Dive with Crocodiles in Australia

Since opening its doors in July 2008, Crocosaurus Cove Darwin has set a new standard of interaction when it comes to the Top End’s most iconic reptiles.
Its inner city location, housing almost 200 crocodiles, including some of the largest Saltwater crocodiles on the planet and its aquarium like underwater viewing of these prehistoric creatures, has proven extremely popular with both locals and tourists alike.
However, it is the Cage of Death, Australia’s only crocodile dive that has firmly put Crocosaurus Cove on the map.

The Life of A Google Employee

We know already that working for Google has certain advantages, but the search engine giant takes its employees welfare very seriously. Meals: Employees can consume all they want for free  from a wide range of foods and beverages. Workstation: Each employee has at least two large screens. Innovations: large tablets are available everywhere because “ideas do not come always when you sit at your desk,” says one of Google’s managers. Pool tables and video games are available in many places. On each floor there are private cabin areas where employees can participate in their private business. Technical Support: If employees have computer problems they  come to this place, and while it is repaired, the drinks are freely available. Health: Free professional massage. Relaxation: This room provides massage chairs that you control while you view relaxing aquariums. Ambience: There are many books in the library, even some about programming! For the third consecutive time, Google is the most powerful brand in the world, according to Millward Brown ranking.

Cappadocia – Upright volcano of Turkey

These somewhat interesting ‘mushroom’, like landforms are part of the volcanic landscape of Cappadocia, the ‘Land of Beautiful Horses’. Cappadocia lies in south eastern central Turkey, some 275 km south-east of Ankara.
This article should serve as an introduction to what is an exceedingly complex volcanic province and only ‘scratches the surface’ of what is in the locale.
The volcanism in the area and in southern Turkey in general, is associated with the Alpine front orogenic belt with the Afro-Arabian plate moving northwards and being subducted below, the Anatolian sub-plate of the main Euro-Asian plate; the Taurus mountains being the Alpine equivalent. The volcanism, which here began in the Miocene period about 18m years ago and as with most subduction zones, is predominantly of the calc-alkaline type, with arcuate volcanic features. In Cappadocia, the main volcanoes (out of 19 major and many other satellite monogenetic and maar vents) are Erciyes Dag (3916m), Hasan Dag (3253), Melendiz (2963m), Kegiboydoran and Develi; the former 2, being most recent, have had the most obvious effects on the landscape of the area.

Transparent Balcony on 103 Floor Skyscraper the Sears Tower, Chicago

Visitors to the Sears Tower in Chicago may find their hearts skipping a beat when they step out on this mid-air ledge. The tower’s latest attraction, called the Ledge, promises a walk on the high side with these new glass enclosures that extend 4.3 feet beyond the side of the building. Beneath peoples’ feet lies the sprawling Illinois city – 103 stories, or 1,353 feet, below.

Designed by SOM, the boxes, which are located on the tower’s west side, and are fully retractable to aid in window-washing, will extend out from the building’s facade. The balconies were added in 2009 to the famous observation floor. Each box is comprised of three layers of half-inch thick glass, and will hold about five tons, well beyond their expected capacity.
Just an inch-and-a-half of glass separates the visitor from the street underneath. The attraction is due to open in June. It is part of a multi-million dollar renovation of the tower – America’s tallest building. For sure it’s not for everyone!  If you are visiting Chicago now you will just have to go and see this modern spectacle.
All of you who have been there do give us your personal impression of standing in mid air. Must be an incredible experience to stand hundreds of feet above Chicago and look out over the city!

An Entire House Made From Cloth

An Entire House Made From Cloth

By Spooky on June 26th, 2009 Category: Art, Pics

The most amazing thing about this house is, you guessed it, that it’s made entirely out of cloth. You’ve got cloth walls, cloth kitchen-wear, cloth light switches, even a cloth toilet. The down-side is, you guessed again, nothing is usable. I mean, imagine using that cloth crapper…You’d have to burn that sucker down, and sew yourself a new one, not very practical.
Useless as it may be, this cloth house is pretty cool to look at, and that’s what art is all about…I think.
