The Flash Season 3 Finale ends without The Wedding

The Flash Season 3 Finale ends without The Wedding Last night’s (May 24) finale of The Flash season 3 threw up a lot of mixed emotions. It started in a happy note as we learn Iris didn’t really die, but the funny H.R. with the help of the shape-shifting tech he built earlier in the season swapped places with her and paid the ultimate price. I will surely miss the Earth 19’s H.R. Wells as he supplied comic relief throughout the season, but Iris had to live as that seem to be the point of the entire season. Most of the Flash season 3 centered around how to save Iris. The entire season would have been a complete waste if she died, but still I wish there could have been a better way to save the goofy H.R. But, if we have learnt anything from the Flash (and time travel) so far, it is that no one really dies as they are always alive in another timeline. We saw this manifest in the penultimate episode of the Flash season 3 where Barry had to go back to 1892 to bring Snart (w

An Interview with Marlon Kobacker of Australian Sustainable Future Group

An Interview with Marlon Kobacker of Australian Sustainable Future Group When one of the most respected business moguls, Donald Trump was making his bid for the white house, he baffled many by stating that he believed climate change was a hoax. Very few could understand how he had come to that conclusion, especially because the effects of negative human interaction with the environment are so obvious. In places like China, the smoke that is emitted by vehicles and industries is so heavy that the smog creates traffic snarl-ups, it is snowing in the Sahara, the North Pole seems to be thawing over, and the list is endless. Well, it is comforting to know that not everyone influential person in the world of business shares these views. Below is an interview with the entrepreneur, Marlon Kobacker  about his views on sustainability. What is your take on sustainable development? I have always believed in the concept that we have borrowed this planet from our grand

Facebook Internet Satellite Destroyed in the SpaceX Explosion

Facebook Internet Satellite Destroyed in the SpaceX Explosion There was some bit of bad news for internet accessibility in Africa Yesterday (Thursday, September 1, 2016) as the rocket that was supposed to launch a Facebook Internet Satellite that was targeted at delivering affordable high speed internet to users in Africa and other regions exploded at the NASA launch site in Florida taking the payload with it. The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was billed to launch the Facebook Internet Satellite to space on Saturday, September 3, 2016, but went up in flames during a routine test at its Cape Canaveral launch pad on Thursday morning. The CEO of SpaceX Elon Musk tweeted that the explosion occurred during “propellant fill operation” and that it “Originated around upper stage oxygen tank”. The tweet also said the cause of the explosion was still unknown. Loss of Falcon vehicle today during propellant fill operation. Originated around upper stage oxygen tank. Cause stil

A Large Asteroid Could Hit the Earth in 2032

A Large Asteroid Could Hit the Earth in 2032 A large Asteroid called 2013 TV135 with an estimated size of about 400 metres and force equivalent to 2500 nuclear bombs could hit the earth on August 2032 according to Ukrainian astronomers at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in the Ukraine. However, NASA has issued a reality check saying that the probability of an impact is only 1 in 63000. [Image from NASA, Click to Enlarge] This means that the probability of the Asteroid not impacting the earth is 99.998%, which is quite huge. However, this discovery is significant because of the 10,332 near-Earth objects being tracked by scientists as of October 14, the 2013 TV135 is the second most dangerous. The most dangerous is a smaller Asteroid called 2007 VK184 about 128 metres wide with a probability of 1 in 2700 of hitting the earth in 2048. For comparison, the Asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs about 66 million years ago was about 9.6 km (9800 metres) wide

5 Most Incredible Engineering Projects in The World

5 Most Incredible Engineering Projects in The World What makes incredible engineering projects? Is it their scale, their use of cutting-edge technology, or their imagination in taking on what seemed to be almost impossible engineering feats? Project Management Training for 5,000 Naira Some of the most impressive modern examples of engineering have ranged from the development of super particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider through to Dubai’s artificial islands, and the tallest building in the world (at least for the present anyway). While some of these projects are still experiencing some problems, their achievements deserve closer inspection: Project Management in Nigeria The Large Hadron Collider Created by CERN between 1998 and 2008, the Large Hadron Collider is a giant particle accelerator used in high energy physics research. Its main aim has been to identify examples of the Higgs Boson theory and the foundational stages of mas

Nokia unveils bicycle charger kit – charge while you ride

Nokia unveils bicycle charger kit – charge while you ride Nokia has unveiled an innovative bicycle powered mobile phone battery charger. The Nokia bicycle charger kit charges your mobile phone battery while you ride. A bicycle powered charger will be hot in regions where bicycle riding is popular and electricity is in short supply. It is also eco-friendly, hence will be popular to environment conscious consumers. Of course it will appeal to some because it is simply cool. Nokia also announced some new  cheap CSeries phones  consisting of Nokia’s first dual-SIM phones: Nokia C1-00 and Nokia C2-00; and Nokia’s cheapest mobile phones with microSD data card support Nokia C1-01 and Nokia C1-02.
