Great Invention - The Butter Grater

Posted : July 2013

By : David Ponce

We like to call butter “flavour” ’round these parts. But the most frustrating part about spreading some cold hard flavour on your morning toast is how it just ends up shredding your caramelized slice of bread, and not spreading at all. It’s a first world problem, sure, but it’s one that’s elegantly solved with the above Butter Grater. Just place a cold stick of delicious flavour in there, and watch as your former toast shredder comes out in fluffy filaments, ready for some easy spreading.

Fuel-efficient cars are all too common in today’s modern time, but Boeing decided to make a fuel efficient airplane. In this year’s Dubai Airshow, the company unveiled the 777x, their newest airliner. The defining feature of the aircraft are the folding wings which provide an increased wingspan while in the air and hence greater fuel economy. The wings can then be folded to allow easy landing at conventional airports made for smaller aircraft with smaller wingspans.

The Pontiac Aztek remains the ugliest car in the United States.

Abysmal and horrific are two words that should be used to describe these cars, these are few cars that would leave some of us split between 'wow' or the 'nay' factor. But can they prove a point by being purchase-worthy within the right buying group? We shall see.

Holland's Flower Sculpture Parade Or Bloemencorso

Hollandis predominantly famous for 2 things, the first is that it’s one of the best places to live in the world (and most liberal), secondly they are the envy of the world when it comes to flowers. They have fields of flowers so famous in fact, that tourists flock to them each year. So it’s not surprising really that Zundert, a country town in the heart of Noord Brabant should be host to what is now the biggest and most impressive flower parade the world has ever seen.

Top secret aircraft, also known as black projects, can be powerful assets to the countries operating them, in this case the United States. But crashes can have dire consequences both in terms of technology and diplomacy. Usually when a black aircraft crashes, a cover story is issued and a veil of secrecy shrouds the incident. But when a jet is still recognisable, cover stories go out the window and technology is left open to exploitation – or simply observation. Here are five examples of secret aircraft (not all black) that have retained their overall appearances after crashing, though thankfully not all in enemy territory.

By Nicholas Pell

Near the end of 1971, D.B. Cooper - probably not his real name - disappeared after hijacking a plane, extorting $200,000 in ransom cash and parachuting to freedom… or death. Four decades later, the FBI has yet to solve the case, and a fanciful new comic book series, The Secret History of D.B. Cooper, hits shelves in March. But this mystery man is hardly the only notable fellow to vanish with nary a trace. Witness this gaggle of gone guys, who just might be playing a funny on all of us.

Georges Méliès - The Master Of Special Effects

by Rita Novaes

In the cinema history, there are few men who are so important and so unfairly forgotten as Georges Méliès. Excepting the shooting and projecting equipment, it would be no exaggeration to say that Méliès invented absolutely everything on cinema: the filming studios, the cinematographic genres, the screenplays, the mechanical and chemical techniques, the special effects. He was the pioneer in everything he did - and he did it with such an imagination and mastery that great filmmakers like Chaplin or Griffith recognized his influence and inspiration.

Old Man Of The Lake

Crater Lake is a caldera lake located in the south-central region of the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the main feature of Crater Lake National Park and famous for its deep blue color and water clarity. The lake partly fills a nearly 2,148 foot (655 m) deep caldera that was formed around 7,700 (± 150) years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama.

7 Dos And Don'ts In Negotiating

by Linda Descano

Each and every day, we negotiate when we want something - be it help, advice, money, or better behavior - from someone else - our partner, our nanny, our employees, and our children. The easiest way to become comfortable in these less risky negotiations, says negotiation guru, Linda Swindling, is to watch powerful negotiators in action. She explains, "Influencers and decision makers ask questions and make decisions no matter how big or small the encounter. The best negotiators are professional and comfortable with everyone they meet from the front line to CEOs." As with many things, preparation also is key. Here are seven dos and don'ts for preparing to tackle negotiations, whether of the low-stakes, "little n," or high-stakes, "big N," variety:

Top 5 Famous People Who Didn’t Actually Exist

Posted in August 2011

5. Pope Joan

One of the most famous Popes of all time is the one that modern day scholars believe probably didn’t exist. Pope Joan was a figure who was once believed to have served as Pontiff for a few years around 853-855 A.D. Her story first appeared in the 13th century writings of a Dominican Friar called Jean De Mailly, and for centuries it was a well-known legend in Europe. The tale came in many forms, but the most popular version described Joan as pious and brilliant woman who, after disguising herself as a man, rose quickly through the ranks of the Catholic Church and was chosen as Pope. Her reign supposedly came to an end when, while riding on horseback one day, she suddenly fell ill and gave birth to a child. Here the story takes many different turns: some versions say she died in childbirth, others say natural causes, and others still say that an angry mob murdered her. While historians have found enough evidence to reject the idea that Pope Joan ever really existed - some have claimed that the tale originated in a satirical story about Pope John XI - there’s no denying her legend played a major part in the religion of the Middle Ages. Religious scholars and popular writers like Boccaccio often made references to her, and there are reports of statues of her being erected. The legend persisted for several hundred years, and it took until 1601 before Pope Clement VIII officially denied the story.

10 Smallest Mobile Phones In The World 2013

By Ashley Turner

Here is our mini me list of small sized mobile phones. We keep this list up to date with new record breaking midget mobiles constantly, pick up your magnifying glass and scroll down to start!

As technology becomes more and more advanced, the devices that contain it becomes smaller and smaller. With the meteoric rise in popularity of smartphones, the demand for a device that is small enough to comfortably carry around, but that also contains all those features we have come to expect from a modern phone, has also increased. Consumers will no longer put up with large, bulky and ugly handsets. Instead, they expect sleek, cool and well-designed phones. Most of the time this means making handsets smaller and smaller, without reducing the number of features available. With this in mind, we have compiled a concise guide to the smallest mobile phones in the world.

They undergo Parthenogenesis, which is embryo fertilization without a male, to produce new offspring. Despite this, however, these lizards still “mate” to increase fertility.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s 10 Worst Signings

By John McDougall

During his tenure as Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson has been prolific in signing young talent and turning them into top-quality players. However, nobody is perfect and during his 25 years at the helm of England’s most successful club, he has had his fair share of what turned out to be shocking forays into the transfer market. In response to my previous article chronicling Ferguson’s best 10 signings, and in the interest of fairness, here are his worst 10 purchases in the transfer market. Again, on similar lines to my first article on Fergie's Best Signings, I have tried to compile the list based on how terrible the player was, the transfer fee wasted on them, and any pitiful amounts they were sold for. Also, this list is purely confined to players whom Ferguson has bought in the transfer market so, regrettably, there is no room for Jonny Evans and his ilk in all this.

Should Mobile Phones Be Used On A Plane?

by Carmel Brown (31st October 2013)

"Hello? I'm on the plane"

Mobile phones are an invaluable part of life these days, but even the most ardent of text addicts knows when it is time to turn off the handset. One of the main examples of this is when travelling abroad on a plane. Traditionally, mobile users have had to switch off after boarding, as the signal given off could interfere with the aircraft's navigation systems.

By Ashley Turner (July 2013)

Within the last ten years mobile phones have evolved from simple feature phones to smart devices that we rely on in our everyday lives. The industry is moving fast, with manufacturers unveiling unlimited numbers of smartphones within short spaces of time – but what can we expect from the future? Rumours about what’s next from the biggest smartphone manufacturers are constantly floating around the internet.

The World’s Worst Environmental Disasters Caused By Companies

The Gulf of Mexico oil spill is one of the worst company-created environmental disasters in history. Water and wetlands are sullied. People are dead. We’re still waiting on wildlife casualties and strange illnesses. Amazingly, these themes are familiar. As long as mines and factories have existed, they’ve cut corners to save money, sprung leaks, and blown components. Consequences have ranged from curious smells to countless human deaths.

We’ve compiled the worst corporate environmental disasters in the world, from the mid-20th century to today. Some of these disasters have been going on for years. Others still haven’t been resolved. And as long as corporations continue to slither through accountability loopholes, BP won’t be the epitaph to this sordid pattern.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s 10 Best Signings

By John McDougall (Dec 2011)

The Govan knight’s best 10 transfers into Manchester United from his 25 year tenure at the helm of England's biggest football club

I recently read, and no doubt many more of you have as well, the two articles compiled by Gooner Verse on the 10 best and 10 worst signings that Arsene Wenger has brought into Arsenal football club in his 15-year tenure. This got me thinking about my own club, Manchester United, and Sir Alex Ferguson’s ability within the transfer market over the past 25 years at the helm of the Old Trafford giants. Here follows a list of the 10 best forays into the transfer market that Ferguson has made, in my humble opinion. I have ranked it on a balance of obviously how good the player was, the transfer fee paid and, if applicable, any transfer fee’s that were received. One thing to point out though, is that this list is confined purely to players that Ferguson has gone into the transfer market and paid money for, so there is no place on the list for players such as Giggs, Beckham, Scholes, Butt, the Neville brothers et al...

The last thing you’re probably concentrating on while you’re chomping your way through a box of salted popcorn or slurping on a large Diet Coke at the movies is which mobile phones your favourite characters are using.

He plans to continue to throw not only swords, but axes, and Japanese shurinken.

Top 10 Phone Manufacturers of 2013

by Ashley Turner (July 2013)

Smartphone manufacturers are constantly competing to release the latest devices with the most impressive spec – always attempting to outdo each other in terms of speed, cameras and any other way possible. This has resulted in some extremely impressive devices on the market with smartphones that come with quad core processors, 13-megapixel cameras and even the ability to go under water (if you have attempted this with a non-waterproof phone please see this post). This means that a mobile phone can now be someone’s entire life, and the need for top tech has never been greater. But who’s providing the goods? Whose devices are selling the most? And the biggest question of all – who is the top phone manufacturer of 2013? Check out the top ten phone manufacturers below.

Penicillin

Forever enshrined in scientific legend, the discovery of penicillin - a group of antibiotics used to combat a variety of bacterial infections - is really just a case of dirty dishes.

Upon his return on Sept. 3, 1928, the perceptive scientist found a strange fungus on a culture he had left in his lab - a fungus that had killed off all surrounding bacteria in the culture. Modern medicine was never the same.
