You can make it! World's Simplest Electric Train
World's Simplest Electric Train! The
system is simple enough, you have a battery sandwiched between two
polarized magnets running through a conductive loop of copper wire. As
soon as the battery and the magnet assembly enter the copper tunnel,
they complete a circuit
and now you have current running throughout the coil as the battery and
magnets induce an electromagnetic field. The copper coil forms a
solenoid (length of the battery), the solenoid now has its own magnetic
field that interacts with the magnets in the end. The resultant force
pushes the top magnet and pulls the bottom magnet but since the solenoid
is in between the magnets, it goes along with them throughout the loop
repeating the process.
More: China already have a train that uses magnetic energy to move it. And Guess it's also the safest! No derailments.

Dinka, a Wonderful Nilotic Ethnic Group from Sudan
This is an update regarding the Dinka. The Dinka are a Nilotic ethnic group from South Sudan.
They live from the tenth century on both sides of the Nile River and
speak a language belonging to the Nilo-Saharan group. They are about
three million and are divided into about 21 groups, each with its own
legitimate leader.
Although farming has always been its main economic resource, there has never missed an important agricultural and fishing activity that allowed them to be self-sufficient in food. Their trade and light industry are increasingly gaining importance.
Photographers Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher have an experience of over 30 years recording ceremonies, rituals and daily life of African tribal peoples. His photographs reflect a long and deep relationship of respect for the customs and people of these tribes, especially those of the Dinka:

Traditionally Dinka not wear many clothes, so it is normal for a grown
man to go completely naked except for collars around the neck. Women
usually wear only a goatskin from the waist. Increasingly, young women
are likely to adapt the dress forms from neighboring towns, and men, the
long robes worn in the north. They care a lot, especially men, about
body ornamentation. They usually remove some teeth by a purely cosmetic
issue. Men who are pastoralists, use cow dung ash to ward off
mosquitoes. It is easy to see men, especially among young people, with
dyed red hair, for what they use cow urine, while women shave their head
and eyebrows, leaving only a tuft of hair above her head.
Nice Cute Humming Bird
Nice Cute Humming Bird....A Must See....A Must Share
Hummingbirds are New World birds that constitute the family Trochilidae. They are among the smallest of birds, most species measuring in the 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in) range. Indeed, the smallest extant bird species is a hummingbird, the 5-cm bee hummingbird, weighing less than a U.S. penny.
They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings which flap at high frequencies audible to humans. They hover in mid-air at rapid wing-flapping rates, typically around 50 times per second, allowing them also to fly at speeds exceeding 15 m/s (54 km/h; 34 mph), backwards.
Hummingbirds have the highest metabolism of any homeothermic animal. To conserve energy when food is scarce, and nightly when not foraging, they go into torpor, a state similar to hibernation, slowing metabolic rate to 1/15th of its normal rate. [Source: Wikipedia]

Do you believe in mother, the twins conversation
In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you
believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course.
There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”
“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”
“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”
The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here.
Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will
have other senses that we can’t understand now.”
The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”
The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”
The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one has ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”
The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”
The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”
Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”
To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.” - Útmutató a Léleknek

World’s Highest Bridge - Millau Viaduct, France
World’s Highest Bridge - Millau Viaduct, France
The Millau Viaduct (French: le Viaduc de Millau, IPA: [vjadyk də mijo]) is a cable-stayed bridge that spans the valley of the River Tarn near Millau in southern France.
Designed by the French structural engineer Michel Virlogeux and British architect Norman Foster, it is the tallest bridge in the world with one mast's summit at 343.0 metres (1,125 ft) above the base of the structure.It is the 12th highest bridge deck in the world, being 270 metres (890 ft) between the road deck and the ground below. Millau Viaduct is part of the A75-A71 autoroute axis from Paris to Béziers and Montpellier. Construction cost was approximately €400 million. It was formally inaugurated on 14 December 2004, and opened to traffic on 16 December. The bridge has been consistently ranked as one of the great engineering achievements of all time. The bridge received the 2006 International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering Outstanding Structure Award

A 17 year old boy was attacked and killed by a huge white tiger.
A Delhi boy went to zoo alone and suddenly fall into tigers zone. The huge white tiger got furious when he was attacked the other viewers with stones. The tiger subsequently killed the boy. Some opinion was also that the tiger wanted to save the boy from the throwing stones in the same way they protect their children by taking their kids at a save place with their mouth. But the human neck is not strong enough to take pressure of tiger teeth like the tiger kids.
