Doomsday Vault

Sebuah bangunan sangat kuat yang dibangun di Kutub Utara untuk menyimpan biji-bijian dari seluruh dunia resmi difungsikan. Fasilitas yang disebut sebagai Kubah Kiamat (Doomsday Vault) ini dibuat di dalam sebuah gunung beku di Kepulauan Svalbard, Norwegia, 1100 kilometer dari kutub utara. Kubah ini akan berfungsi untuk menyimpan biji-bijian dari seluruh dunia guna melindungi plasma nutfah. Harapannya, jika terjadi bencana besar yang melanda dunia, biji-bijian yang disimpan di kubah itu akan bisa menjadi sumber penyelamat manusia sebelum terjadi kelaparan.
Karena fungsi sebagai penyelamat manusia, maka kubah itu diberi nama Kubah Kiamat (Doomsday Vault). Kubah tersebut terletak di dalam sebuah gunung beku di Kepulauan Svalbard, Norwegia, 1100 kilometer dari Kutub Utara.

Dalam pernyataannya, Perdana Menteri Norwegia Jens Stoltenberg menyebut bahwa Svalbard Global Seed Vault merupakan kebijakan penyelamatan kami. “Ini adalah ‘Bahtera Nuh’ untuk melindungi keragaman biologi generasi masa depan,” ujar Jens Stoltenberg dalam upacara peresmian kubah itu. Acara yang monumental tersebut juga dihadiri oleh Presiden Komisi Eropa, Jose Manual Barroso, dan penerima Nobel Perdamaian 2004, Wangari Maathai, dari Kenya. Setelah diresmikan, kubah yang berada di dalam perut gunung sedalam 127,5 meter ini akan menyimpan cadangan bibit dari ratusan bank benih dari seluruh dunia. Ruangan di dalamnya dapat memuat 4,5 juta sampel benih. Kubah yang pembangunannya memakan biaya US$9,1 juta-hasil kerja sama Global Crop Diversity Trust, lembaga yang didanai badan PBB untuk urusan pangan atau FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) dan Biodiversity Internasional yang berbasis di Roma, Italia-diharapkan benar-benar bisa jadi solusi masa depan demi kelangsungan kehidupan manusia.

$20.1 billion home by Mukesh Ambani




Mumbai - Mukesh Ambani, India's wealthiest resident, is building a 60-story vertical palace in Mumbai, complete with a helipad, swimming pool and space to park about 170 cars.

Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries and No. 14 on Forbes' list of the world's richest people--with a fortune we estimate at $20.1 billion--is reportedly spending $1 billion for the home in posh south Mumbai.

"Like many families with the means to do so, the Ambanis wanted to build a custom home. They consulted with architecture firms Perkins + Will and Hirsch Bedner Associates, the designers behind the Mandarin Oriental, based in Dallas and Los Angeles, respectively," the report said. "Plans were then drawn up for what will be the world's largest and most expensive home: a 27-story skyscraper in downtown Mumbai with a cost nearing 2 billion dollars."

According to Forbes, Mukesh, along with his wife Nita Ambani and three children, currently live in a 22-story Mumbai tower.

Facts about this ‘house’..

3 helipads on top. Mumbai corporation has not given permission for making this operational yet.
- Hanging gardens within the structure
- Swimming pool within the structure
- A two storey Health centre
- Parking space for 168 cars (6 floors). I initially thought that meant there will be a mini office in
the building but apparently that is not the case. All these cars will belong to Mukesh Ambani!
Just in case you are interested, he drives a 5 crore Maybach now.
- A floor exclusively for servicing these automobiles within the building.
- A floor for Home theatre – sitting capacity of 50
- The house will have a staff of 600 (sic) to do the maintenance activities. That gives a ratio of 1:100 for people living in the house and those who are paid to take care of it. The six lucky (?) ones are the man himself, his wife, his 3 children and his mother Kokilaben. The family will be moving in from their old home ‘Sea Wind’ which was a 14 floor building at Cuffe Parade.

Full Moon Hotel


South Korean Heerim Architects firm has proposed two towers for Baku, capital of Azerbaijan
and the largest port on the Caspian Sea. "Full Moon Hotel" will symbolize the full moon of its name, and will be located across the bay from "The Crescent Hotel" (height: 158m, 32 floors).

5 Scariest and Craziest Rides in World

Are you dare to ride roller coaster? If you dare to ride, please ride this roller coaster. I think it might be a tough challenge to you to counter your adrenaline pressure. Let see how you want to show to us after read this: Find out....

1. Superman : Ride of Steel


At a height of nearly 21 stories, “Superman: Ride of Steel” is the world’s top-rated coaster. With a 221 foot drop, Superman reaches a top speed of 77 miles per hour and delivers a lot of airtime (that funny feeling of weightlessness as the coaster goes over a hill), making it a favorite of coaster enthusiasts.

2. Millenium Force, Cedar Point, OH.


Towering at a height of 310 feet, Millennium Force is one of the tallest and fastest gigacoasters in the world, with a huge 300-foot vertical drop and a top speed of 93 miles per hour.

3.Kingda Ka, Six Flags Great Adventure, Jackson Township, NJ:


Towering at an incredible height of 456 feet (45 stories!), Kingda Ka is a strata-coaster (exceeds a height of 400 feet) and accelerates from 0-128 miles per hour in less than four seconds. A hydraulic launch shoots the train straight-up the 456-foot tower, pauses at the top and goes straight downward into a 270-degree spiral.

4. Alpengeist at Busch Gardens Europe, Williamsburg, VA:

It is also one of the world’s tallest and fastest full-circuit coasters. The ride was manufactured by Bollinger and Mabillard (B&M) and is themed after a runaway ski lift. With six inversions and a 170-foot drop, Alpengeist reaches speeds of 67 mph.

5. Expedition GeForce, Holiday Park:

Expedition GeForce, located at Holiday Park in Haßloch, Germany, is one of the largest coasters in Europe. Expedition Geforce is nearly 174 feet tall and reaches speeds of close to 75 miles per hour. Since its debut in 2001, Expedition Geforce has been a favorite of coaster enthusiasts.

Slimnest House is HERE!!!


In London England
In Paris, France
Osaka, Japan
This slim yet beautiful house is located in Toronto and was designed by Drew Mandel.
What do you do with a remnant space only 2.4 meters (7 feet 10 inches) wide? Sculp(IT), a "young, progressive and complementary team of architects who apply their passion for architecture to every task given" from Antwerp, decided to turn it into a home and office.
Four wooden floors between two existing walls, hanging in a steel skeleton, organize this house: downstairs for work, dining on 1st, relaxing on 2nd, sleeping on 3rd, and on the roof, go and enjoy the view.

The border to the outside is only glass. Transparency not only a necessity, but also a trump card.
