Burj Dubai: base jumpers leap from world’s tallest building

by admin on Jan.09, 2010, under News, Video, Weird

Omar Al Hegelan and Nasser Al Neyadi from the Emirates Aviation Society, were given permission to do the jump on Tuesday, a day after the building was officially opened with a lavish firework display.

They jumped 672 meters or 2204 feet and travelled at a speed of 136mph before their parachutes opened. It took over one and a half minutes for the jumpers to reach the ground.

Mr Al Neyadi, who holds the world record for the first ever Mount Everest sky dive, said that the jump was “the best experience ever”.

He added: “When we were at the top of the building I was thinking ‘this is crazy’.

“I was a little nervous but I wanted to jump from the highest tower in the world to record an achievement for my family and for my country”.

The tower cost £930 million to build and was named after Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the ruler of the neighbouring emirate of Abu Dhabi, and president of the United Arab Emirates.

He and his brothers personally intervened last month to lend Dubai £6 billion to pay off the pressing debts of one of Dubai’s biggest state-owned companies.

The Burj Khalifa measures a staggering 828 metres or 2717 feet.

Rare self-rolling giant snow balls found in UK

by admin on Jan.09, 2010, under News, Weird

Also known as snowrollers, snow bales and snow doughnuts, they form mostly in unusual conditions created by a precise combination of snow, ice, wind, temperature and moisture on the prairies of North America.

But this week’s frozen weather has allowed the snow cylinders to make a freak appearance in the UK.

Ron Trevett, 55, and his wife Aileen, 54, readers of The Daily Telegraph, were stunned when they stumbled across the mysterious formations as they walked their dogs in a field near their home in Yeovil, Somerset.

“We saw them from a distance on the ridge of the field, and we thought some kids had been playing up there and making giant snowballs,” said Mr Trevett.

“But when we got up there we saw there were no footprints and there were hundreds of them – too many for children to have done it. We realised it must have been the wind.”

Mr Trevett, a builder, said he and his wife felt privileged to have witnessed such a rare phenomenon. “We feel very lucky. I’m the wrong side of fifty and I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. We were gobsmacked to look at them there in the sunlight. It was a really impressive sight, and I took some pictures so other people could share it,” he said.

Frank Barrow, a lecturer in meteorology at the Met Office, said the rolls can only form in a precise set of unusual conditions.

“They start off with nice thick layer of snow, with the top snow just on the point of melting either because of general temperature or sunshine on the surface,” he said.

“The top snow layer becomes a bit sticky, and you then need a fairly strong wind. The sticky layer can be peeled off the colder and more powdery snow underneath by the wind forming a roll. In the first picture you can see some of the powdery stuff sticking to the lower outside surface of the roll. I suppose it is a natural version of making a snowman.”

After being formed, the rolls eventually become too large and heavy for the wind to move, or are halted by rising ground or a tuft of vegetation.

They are often hollow because the weak inner layers which form first can easily be blown away, and the fragile formations can collapse in the slightest change of temperature or gust of wind.

Liz Bentley, of the Royal Meteorological Society, said despite their rarity in the UK, there is a chance of more snow rolls appearing over the next few days.

“These rolls are unusual here because we don’t tend to have major snow events like the one we’re experiencing now. They happen with the combination of lying snow and high wind speeds, mostly in North America and Northern Europe, and they can be as small as a tennis ball or they can be as large as two feet across – depending on how strong the wind is and how smooth the surface of the snow is,” she said.

“There are quite strong winds predicted this weekend as well as more snow, so if people keep a look out they might see a few more of these appearing around the country over the next few days.”

Girls aged 12 and 14 hold up bank in Ohio

by admin on Jan.07, 2010, under News, Weird, World

The young girls walked into a branch of 1st National Bank in Cincinnati, Ohio and handed a note to the cashier demanding money.

According to police the note implied the girls would harm employees if the money was not given to them. They did not appear to have any weapons.

Staff complied and the girls walked out with a bag full of money. They then evaded an extensive police search which included a helicopter and sniffer dogs.

One of the girls was described as heavy set, around 5 feet 4 inches tall, and was wearing a hooded top and blue jeans.

The other was said to be second thin, around 5 feet tall and wearing a baseball cap.

Local police released a grainy black-and-white surveillance photograph of one of the alleged bank robbers.

The robbery took place at 3.20pm on Tuesday and the girls were seen leaving on foot and heading for a nearby housing estate.

Amazing cloud roll captured on camera

by admin on Jan.06, 2010, under News, Weird

They are most common when an advancing storm front causes moist air to rise, then cool to the point where it becomes a cloud known as the dew point.

When this happens along a front, a roll cloud can form, often with air actually circulating along the horizontal axis of the cloud.

Although it looks like a sideways tornado, these clouds cannot become one.

Photographer Daniela Eberl took this snap at Las Olas Beach in Maldonado, Uruguay.

Extreme balance artist pictured in handstand over precipice

by admin on Jan.05, 2010, under News, Weird

Positioned on the edge of the Flydalsjuvet cliff in Geiranger, Norway, any mistake by the self-styled “educated balancing performer” could result in a 304 metre fall.

But the 30-year-old Norwegian, resplendent in a gold leotard and head brace, is no stranger to his unusual situation, having already completed the same feat last summer.

He said: “I’ve had this picture in my mind since 2001, and we had already planned to return to do the winter landscape after our success in September.

“I always feel addicted to edgy places which gives me the feeling of flying, and this is one of the best venues I’ve been to so far.”

The daredevil, who has been honing his balancing skills since the age of five and joined the circus aged 18, describes his balancing acts as expressions of art and not stunts.

Mr Ronningsbakken, who is currently working with a troupe of 50 balance artists in Nairobi, Kenya, decided to balance on three chairs for his latest challenge after using a home-made rig on his previous attempt.

He said: “I prepared for many different types of balancing and brought various props but the best outcome was the stack of chairs with me on top.

“I have three loose items under me, and balancing with my back towards the abyss there is no return at all if I fall.”

Japanese man ‘marries’ computer game character

by admin on Dec.03, 2009, under News, Weird

The groom – who calls himself SAL9000 – says he fell in love with Nene Anegasaki from the Nintendo DS game Love Plus after a string of failed romances with girlfriends from other animated games.

The wedding took place at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and was presided over by a priest. The groom, dressed in a white suit and tie, read his vows before Ms Anegasaki flashed hers up on the touch screen of his red Nintendo.

The event was broadcast live on the Nico Nico Douga website, with the groom’s best man giving a speech and Ms Anegasaki’s maid of honour – also imaginary – posting an on-screen message expressing her happiness at the first union of a man and computer character.

The reception included a disco and the entire event attracted thousands of online comments before SAL9000 and his new wife jetted off to the Pacific island of Guam for their honeymoon.

In an online message, SAL9000 said: “I had heard before that the groom is very busy during a Japanese wedding, but it was much more than I expected.

“Both the actual wedding space and the live web site were full on the day and I’m so happy that so many people were able to witness this.

“Now that the ceremony is over, I feel as if I have been able to achieve a major milestone in my life,” he wrote. “Some people have expressed doubts about my actions, but at the end of the day this is really just about us as husband and wife.

“As long as the two of us can go on to create a happy household, I’m sure any misgivings about us will be resolved.”

The message included photos of the groom shopping in Tokyo with his bride in his hand, as well as photos from their honeymoon – including one of SAL9000 playing on the beach watched by his new wife, a tropical flower resting gently on her screen.

There may be trouble ahead for the newly-weds, however, as SAL9000 has not informed his parents that he has got married. The couple plans to visit his family over the New Year holidays to announce their betrothal.

Mooning German dragged half-naked by train

by admin on Oct.13, 2009, under News, Weird

Mooninggetty_450x300

A German man mooning at railway staff in a departing train got his trousers caught in a carriage door and ended up being dragged half naked along the platform, out of the station and onto the tracks.

The 22-year-old journalism student shoved his backside against the window of a low-slung double-decker train when staff forced him off in Lauenbrueck for travelling without a ticket, a spokesman for police in the northern city of Bremen said.

‘It’s a miracle he wasn’t badly hurt,’ the spokesman said on Monday. ‘This sort of thing can end up killing you.’

Instead, dangling by his trousers, the man got pulled along for about 200 metres, all the while managing to keep his legs away from the wheels of the train.

The ordeal ended when a passenger pulled the emergency brake. Rescues services were called in, causing rail services between Bremen and Hamburg to be suspended for over an hour, delaying 23 trains.

The man – unharmed except for cuts and bruises – now faces charges of dangerous interference in rail transport, insulting the train staff, and may face sizeable a compensation claim for the delays he caused, police said.

‘He was full of remorse when I talked to him,’ the spokesman said. ‘And he advised others not to try the same thing.’

Kellogg’s to laser-brand individual Corn Flakes

by admin on Oct.13, 2009, under News, Weird

cornflakes-ianjone_1501093c

The new technology enables the firm – which makes 67 million boxes of Corn Flakes every year – to burn the famous signature onto individual flakes using lasers.

Kellogg’s plans to produce a number one-off trial batches of the branded flakes to test the system.

Bosses will then consider inserting a proportion of branded flakes into each box to guarantee the cereal’s origins and protect against imitation products.

If the system is successful it could be used on Kellogg’s other best-loved brands including Frosties, Special K, Crunchy Nut and Bran Flakes.

The laser uses a concentrated beam of light which focuses the energy within the beam, down to a very small spot on the Corn Flake.

Mirror galvanometers are then used to steer the beam creating multiple vectors that reflect the laser from different angles and ultimately make up the image.

The energy density within the laser spot diameter is sufficient enough to give the surface of the flake a darker, toasted appearance without changing the taste.

Kellogg’s embarked on the project to reinforce that they don’t make cereals for any other companies and to fire a shot across the bows of makers of ‘fake flakes’.

Yesterday Helen Lyons, lead food technologist at the company, said: ”In recent years there has been an increase in the number of own brands trying to capitalise on the popularity of Kellogg’s corn flakes.

”We want shoppers to be under absolutely no illusion that Kellogg’s does not make cereal for anyone else.

”We’re constantly looking at new ways to reaffirm this and giving our golden flakes of corn an official stamp of approval could be the answer.

”We’ve established that it is possible to apply a logo or image onto food, now we need to see if there is a way of repeating it on large quantities of our cereal. We’re looking into it.”

The company also released figures which show sales of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes have risen in 2009 as shoppers with limited budgets opt for recognised, reliable brands.

A staggering 128 billion bowls of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes are eaten worldwide every year in countries as far afield as Guatemala, Japan, Argentina and India.

And an incredible 2.8 million bowls of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes are eaten in the UK everyday – that’s one billion a year.

The firm’s Manchester factory is also the biggest Corn Flake production line in the world and churns out cereals 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Kellogg’s Corn Flakes were also the first cereal to land on the moon – as the breakfast of choice for the crew on board Apollo 11
