Lamborghini Aventador Watch

The author of this project, the designer Marko Petrovic's, was inspired hypercar Aventador from Lamborghini. Partially transparent, ultra-black-orange body, allows us to consider the mechanical stuffing with a tourbillon mechanism.

Top 5 scientific discoveries made by using Google Earth

By means satellites, scientists were able to explore the area, where anyone and did not occur to send scientific expeditions. And thanks to Google Earth, made a number of important discoveries, and sometimes these discoveries are made completely casual people.

The remains of Roman villas, 2005

One of the earliest archaeological discoveries made by in Google Earth, held in 2005. Ironically, the author of the opening, a local resident Luke Mori started the program just to explore the area near his native Parma. Quite suddenly he noticed a strange oval artifact in the fields near the city.

Luca Mori took him for a computer glitch, but nevertheless informed the specialists of the National Archaeological Museum, which organized the expedition. Immediately after the start of excavation, they found the remains of ancient ceramics and ancient Roman villa, built by BC.

Australopithecus sediba age 2 million years old, South Africa, 2008

Lee Berger Paleoanthropologist, a bold set out in courageous study of South Africa, running Google Earth in the comfort of his office. Professor began to explore the area of limestone caves in South Africa, which is known to scientists as the Cradle of Mankind.
Berger founds on satellite images of previously unknown caves suitable for the life of ancient people. In 2008 he organized a semi amateur expedition, taking with him only one student, as well as his son and dog. On the site they found fifty alleged accommodation of Australopithecus (the great apes, two legs walking hominids with little brain).

Visiting one of the caves, his father sent a 9-year-old son to look around, and after 15 minutes he brought the stone to perfectly preserved fossilized fragments of the clavicle and the mandible. Excavations at the site have revealed skeletons and fragments of other women and a teenager whose age is estimated at 1,78-1,95 million years old.

The importance of this discovery is that the obtained samples belong to a new, previously unknown form of Australopithecus, very similar to the people. That's two million years ago apes began to walk on two legs, and use the tools to form the beginnings of speech. The new species was named Australopithecus sediba. Probably, this species is an ancestor of Homo habilis, then there is a bridge from apelike hominid species to modern humans.

Tropical forest on Mount Mabu, Mozambique, 2008

On satellite pictures of northern Mozambique the British scientist Julian Bayliss found a complete unknown "oasis" - an isolated rain forest, located high in the mountains in a remote place. It turned out that this forest is known by locals, but there has never been fitted out a scientific expedition.

But these isolated territories are especially interesting to biologists because they often find new species of animals and plants. Mount Mabu did not disappoint - in 2008 an expedition was sent there, the results of that study until now. In total, it was discovered more than a hundred (!) Of new species - plants, birds, butterflies, monkeys, snakes - all in three weeks. This tropical forest experts jokingly call called Google Forest.

Stone artifacts, Saudi Arabia, 2011

As wilds of Mozambique, the deserts of Saudi Arabia only unfriendly to researchers and travelers. In early 2011, David Kennedy Australian scientist decided that the easier it will first explore the area on satellite images than to find something in the sand.

The study of desert meter by meter bore fruit - was discovered more than 2,000 sites on which something is viewed. These coordinates are entered on the list, and on-site study revealed several thousands of artifacts of ancient civilizations - the stone wheels, the trap for the birds, the tomb of a strange shape, and much more. The artifacts are scattered over a vast area from Syria to Yemen, are more than 9,000 years old.

Ancient pyramids, Peru, 2008

In 2008, scientists were able to detect a large number of ancient pyramid under a layer of soil in the desert of Peru, combining images of Google Earth with infrared photography.

Pyramid found under the field of wheat, one kilometer from the famous Nasca geoglyphs - a group of giant geometric shapes, each about the size of a hundred meters (triangles, spirals, bird, monkey, spider, flowers). These geoglyphs noticed only in the 20th century, when the plane flew over them. By gigantic figures can not be covered with earth.

Samsung GT-I9500 (Galaxy SIII): rumor or a leak?

These pictures have appeared on the Internet, according to the original source, on the site of the official Samsung group, look so great, that in reality they just want to believe.

It is ostensibly about the appearance of the Android-smartphone Samsung GT-I9500 (aka Galaxy SIII), equipped with a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, quad-core Samsung Exynos 4412 with a frequency of 1.5 GHz, 12-megapixel camera with LED and xenon (at the same time?) flash and a choice of operating system - Android 4.0 or Bada. And to be completely happy yet TouchWiz interface version 5.

Samsung has already disown these illustrations. And would not want to believe in the leakage of information, logic says that this is nothing more than a beautiful picture (let work and performed at a high level).

Maybe we will see in February's announcement of this particular device? Characteristics, at least, seem realistic. Although the screen "from edge to edge", and two outbreaks at once (why?) Indicate the contrary.

Three-legged Man: the history of legend

Signor Francesco Lentini was born in 1889 in Sicily. He became the 12th and at the same time, the 12-th-a-half child in the family. His twin brother, consisting of one leg and a full set of reproductive organs, was born the application to the Frank’s spine.

The third leg attached fourth foot, a small, deformed and painful. Thus, Lentini was three feet, four feet, sixteen toes, two of the penis and testicles four. To further complicate an unusual man's life, the gods gave him his legs painfully different lengths ...

As a child, Lentini hated his extra limbs and prichindaly that was doomed to carry a coffin on life. Doctors were not taken to amputate parasitic twin, fearing that these things except for Francesco paralysis is complete. Father and mother of the little cripple refused, and Lentini raised in a family aunt, which, however, was soon shoved a unique creation in a boarding school.

There Lentini learned that there is light at the ones that are much worse than him - children born legless. This motivated him to work on himself: Frank learned to not only walk on three legs, and a run, jump rope, ride a bike, on horseback. And even skate.

At age 8 Lentini with the crowd of Sicilian immigrants ended up in America, where he joined the circus and immediately created a furor. The masses were fascinated by his sharp sense of humor and unusual for a freak agility. A room with a soccer ball tamping third leg evoked applause and shouts of "bis" (walking the two legs, the third - plays the football).

With age, the fact of physical anomalies left by the wayside - Lentini was loved by audiences and peers for exactly that exuded grace and wisdom, was a very interesting conversationalist, well-joking. The charm of the men captured the three-legged young lady named Teresa Murray. The couple were married and raised a 4 healthy children.

Lentini continued to tour until his death, which came to his home in Florida in 1966. More than 40 years he worked at American circuses, including such distinguished as the "Barnum and Bailey" and "Coney Island". Contemporaries such respects for gentleman Frank Lentini, except that the "king" of the eye is not styled.
