"I must say that this is the worst race for us since the beginning in terms of speed. In the last few races we were fast, and it is shameful. But we have seen that everything is easy to change this year, and perhaps aspects of the tires have made a big difference.

Five Predictions that Failed Apocalypse Total

Friday, May 20, 2011

This message spread throughout the world: Judgement will come from Saturday, May 21, 2011 at 18:00. Those who believe will be raptured up to heaven, left behind will go through life like hell for five months, until October 21, 2011 - in which God will destroy the Earth with fire. It is religious leaders, Harold Camping who predicted it.

Using a mathematical calculation version. This is not the first time he predicts the apocalypse. Camping Previously claiming the end of the world will come on 6 September 1994, but wrong. What if his predictions wrong again? At least he was not the only one. Here are five fumble doomsday predictions:

1. October 22, 1844

A preacher Millerite flow, Samuel S. Snow predicted the world would end October 22, 1844, based on what is believed to be the guide of Resurrection in the Book of Daniel.

On that day, thousands of people who believe already handed over whatever they have. They were surprised when the day, no matter what happens. Doomsday is not coming. Today it is famous for 'The Great Disappointment' or 'Big Disappointment' which makes Millerite flow split.

2. 1806

Many believe the doomsday warnings will be delivered by a prophet. In Leeds, England, the role of the prophet is represented by a chicken! 'The Prophet Hen of Leeds' - thus dubbed the chicken, the eggs are bearing the message 'Christ has come'.

At that time, many people visit the location of the chicken, it is amazing to see live eggs, and then believe that doomsday is coming. People who believe suddenly become very religious, praying diligently day and night, and repent of all their bad behavior in the past.

However, the issue ended when several people are curious when watching chickens lay eggs. Apparently, a magic egg that is caused by fraudsters. The earliest known egg inscribed with corrosive ink forcibly inserted into the womb of a hen.

Hearing this fact, people who terlanjut sure of course shocked. But still they laugh out loud, laugh at his own stupidity. At that time, for them, the world looks more beautiful and enjoyable.

3. December 21, 1954

A housewife and student, Dorothy Martin admitted making contact with beings Planet Clarion. The aliens said they will destroy the Earth with a flash-flooding. Only the faithful would survive. They will be evacuated flying saucers, the night before the disaster struck the Earth.

Sounds weird? Indeed. However, there are believers. His followers - some already stopped working and gave all his possessions - languishing in their homes, waiting to pick up the aliens.

To avoid radiation burns flying saucers, the followers get rid of all the existing iron from the body, including zippers and bra hooks. Midnight arrived, the people who believe this more and more agitated. Finally at 04:45, Martin admitted getting other messages from being Planet Clarions - that God was very impressed with the actions of his followers and change his mind. God decided to cancel the apocalypse.

4. Year 2000

That the end will arrive in 2000 is predicted by The Lindsey through two books, "The Late, Great Planet Earth," which was published in 1970, and "Planet Earth 2000 AD: Will mankind Survive?" published in 1996 wrote, that Christians do not have to make future plans after 2000.

However, the forecast was missed. Although the track record is flawed because kengawurannya, Lindsey is still active in the world of writing, in 2008 he wrote a column on the conservative site WorldNetDaily: Barack Obama accused the antichrist.

5. October or November 1982

Pat Robertson in a radio broadcast in 1980 entitled 'The 700 Club' says, "I guarantee, the end of 1982 will be the Day of Judgement."

However, the forecast was just nonsense. When proven wrong Robertson argued, God cancel a number of disasters. Like the massive tsunami on the West Coast in 2006 and terrorist attacks in 2007 - both are also not proven. "I have a good track record, just sometimes I miss," he claims.

NASA Launches Satellite Observers of sea bottom

Wednesday, May 18, 2011

NASA
The greenhouse effect and environmental degradation not only occurs on the mainland. Ocean which became the largest land area on earth was also needed attention. NASA eventually plans to study the interaction between ocean circulation, water cycle, climate, and measuring sea surface salinity with the launch of a satellite. Xinhua News Agency announce on Wednesday (18 / 5), satellite watchers international undersea Aquarius / SAC-D observatory will be launched on 9 June.

Aquarius will be the main instrument. Observatory brings seven other instruments that will collect environmental data for various applications, including studies on natural hazards, air quality, soil processes, and epidemiology. The satellite will make NASA's first space observations of concentration of dissolved salts in sea level. Aquarius observations will reveal how the influence of salinity variations in ocean circulation, traces the path of fresh water around the planet Earth.

Aquarius also will measure the salinity by sensing the microwave emission from water surfaces by means of Radiometer. These emissions can be used to indicate levels of salt water on the surface, after taking into account other environmental factors. Salinity in the open sea level varies only about five parts per thousand and little change is essential. Aquarius also uses sophisticated technology to detect small changes in salinity of about two parts per 10 thousand, equivalent to one-eighth teaspoon of salt in one gallon of water.

Aquarius will map the entire ocean every seven days for at least three years of 408 miles (657 kilometers) above Earth. With the measurement will produce monthly estimates of sea surface salinity with a spatial resolution of 93 miles (150 kilometers). The data also will reveal how changes in salinity from time to time and from one part of the ocean to another.

This mission is a collaboration between NASA and Argentina's space agency. In addition, some countries such as Brazil, Canada, France, and Italy also participated in the success of the project

Appears Again, the issue of May 21, 2011 Judgement

Previously, Harold Camping predicted the end of the world will come on September 6, 1994.

When designing its future is optimistic person, group of followers of Christianity in the United States it is preparing for a doomsday version of those who are expected to come four days, May 21, 2011.

They also invite others to join the campaign to panic with doomsday warnings through a large billboard that read "Judgement Day May 21" or "World End Has Come 'to the world. Similarly Messages spread through Twitter, Facebook, fliers, and radio.

That the end will come May 21, 2011 derived from the fruit of the mind radio evangelist 89 years old, Harold Camping. Using mathematical calculations he interprets his own making vague predictions in the Gospels.

This is not the first doomsday predictions. Previously, he predicts the Day of Judgement will come on September 6, 1994 - in which the believers up into heaven, leaving the other men who are destined to experience torture.

However, in 1994 passed without any incident. Earth is still spinning, life continues until this day. However, Camping not give up, he issued a new doomsday predictions - tinkering with her version of the equation once more and then called the May 21, 2011 as the end of the world.

Camping claimed, after some 200 million Christians have taken up to heaven next Saturday, the Earth would be like hell for five months - until October 21, 2011 later, where life really ends.

How he found that his estimates? This calculation Camping: he believed Jesus was crucified on April 1 year 33 AD, or 722 500 days before May 21, 2011. That number is the square of 5 x 10 x 17.

In his own system of numerology, the number five represent the 'redemption', number 10 is 'perfection', and 17 means 'heaven'. "Five times 10 times 17 is a story. Where Jesus paid for all your sins," says Camping. "I fell off the chair when aware of it."

Over the past few months, predictions Camping received help from the Christian fundamentalists. The volunteers spread the message to the entire world.

However, not all Christians believe that prediction. Many doubt it. Especially in the Gospel of Matthew, is mentioned, Jesus said, the Day of Judgement can not be foreseen.

Moreover, previously apocalypse predicted by a Baptist group leader, William Miller. He said, the world ended last October 22, 1844, yet the sun still shines brightly to this day.

Is it true that the world will end May 21, 2011? Time will tell.

Fable 3 on PC
Hopefully Microsoft really means it this time, starting with Fable 3 pc The first and longest part involves building a team of heroes capable of staging the rebellion. This is achieved by slowly building your wealth and powers, solving fetch & carry quests and interacting with the local townspeople.

In play, it's like a combination of Dungeon Siege and the Sega Dreamcast's Shen Mue. Complete the main quests and the game switches dramatically to being one of moral or world-shaping choices rather than questing. It's a shift you will either love or feel strangely annoyed about – something fairly typical of Molyneux's maverick, slightly twisted approach to game design.
There's a superb music score, deep (if formulaic) gameplay and literally

A recent post by Xbox spokesperson Major Nelson announced triumphantly that Fable 3 would be receiving a Windows demo on May 17th, the same day as the full release of the game.
“I’ve been informed that a Fable 3 PC demo is no longer scheduled.”
The response was puzzling. The official statement from Lionhead is that there “was never” a PC demo planned for release, blaming the whole thing on “some misunderstanding” between the parties involved.
