It’s quite common these days to sign a petition for .. anything regarding an ecological idea, but how many people do actually know what they sign for? Penn And Teller wrote a petition to ban water and you’d be amazed just how many people signed for it.
Have you ever wondered how a dog drinks water? I found this video and I believe it’s very interesting. A program of the Discovery channel recorded at thousands of frames per second a dog and a man drinking water. Dog’s tongue lapping up water!
In contact with the air, this water looses polar hability and sticks to itself,transforming into solid water spheres.
The Q-Drum, a low cost rollable water container for developing countries.
The burden of fetching water, invariably over long distances by cumbersome and far too often, unhygienic means, is all too evident in rural Africa.
The idea of the Q-Drum originated in response to the needs of rural people for clean and potable water, as well as easing the burden of conveying it.
The solution had to be simple, water in adequate quantities is by far too heavy to carry, by rolling the water in a cylindrical container and not carrying it seemed to be the only solution. The container had to be durable, and breakable handles & other attachments would simply not do - in many parts of Africa even a hammer & a nail are scarce commodities.
A Russian helicopter crashed into the Sea of Okhotsk during joint rescue exercises with Japan, killing one of the 13 people aboard.
The Mi-14 helicopter went down off the Russian island of Sakhalin, north of Japan’s Hokkaido, when one of its rotor blades hit the water during exercises simulating an emergency response to an oil spill and aid to stricken ships.
All 13 people aboard were rescued from the aircraft, but 3 were injured and one of them, a pilot, died on the way to a hospital on shore.
5 crew members and 8 rescuers from Russia’s civil aviation agency had been aboard the helicopter when it went down.
Some of those rescued were taken aboard a Japanese vessel participating in the exercises, and Japanese divers were involved in the rescue operation.
Japanese divers pulled at least one person from the stricken ship.
The exercises involved 7 ships and 4 helicopters from the Russian side and 3 ships and 1 helicopter from the Japanese side.
