Blue Lake is a small fresh water lake in Nelson Lakes National Park, in the northern reaches of New Zealand's South Island. The lake has extreme visual clarity, with visibility tests showing visibility of up to 80 meters. Blue Lake in Nelson Lakes National Park is regarded as the clearest lake in the world. Blue Lake is characterized by blue-violet hues seen only in the very clearest natural waters. Its clarity reveals water's natural blue-violet color.
The visibility of distilled water is about 80 meters, as estimated from the best available instrumental measurements in the laboratory. Researchers have found that the Blue Lake has visual clarity of about 76 meters, which is almost as optically clear as distilled water. Blue Lake's visibility even surpasses that of the famous Te Waikoropupu Springs in Golden Bay, which has a visibility of 63 meters. The lake's clarity might be bettered only by ocean waters such as those in the southeast Pacific near Easter Island.
Blue Lake is fed by a short upper segment of the Sabine River, which in turn is fed by underground passage through the landslide debris impounding the much larger Lake Constance. Scientists attribute the clarity of the Blue Lake water to its passage underground from Lake Constance, which filters out nearly all the particles suspended in the water.

Jiroemon Kimura, a Japanese man, is the world's oldest man ever lived in recorded history and the first man verified to have reached 116 years of age. He passed away at the remarkable age of 116 years 54 days on June 12, 2013. Kimura, who was born in Japan on April 19, 1897, became the world's Oldest Living Person after the death of Dina Manfredini, passed away aged 115 years, 257 days, on December 17, 2012. More significantly, Kimura achieved an even rarer
accolade when, on 28 December 2012, he became the world's Oldest Man who ever
lived.
Jiroemon Kimura became the world's oldest male whose age could be reliably determined at the age of 115 years 253 days. He succeeded Denmark's Thomas Peter Thorvald Kristian Ferdinand "Christian" Mortensen, who reached 115 years 252 days in April 1988. Jiroemon Kimura, who lived in Kyotango City, Kyoto, is only the third man in history to reach 115 years of age. Kimura worked at the Post Office from 1914 until the age of 65. After retirement as a postal worker he continued to engage in agriculture until he was 90. He has an astonishing 14 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and 13 great, great grandchildren.
Kimura is one of the few men known to have lived across three centuries. He is also one of the seven known people who have ever reached the age of 116 years. However, the oldest person ever to have lived whose age has been fully authenticated is Jeanne Calment of France who lived to 122 years and 164 days. After Jiroemon Kimura's death, Misao Okawa, a fellow Japanese, takes on the mantle of the oldest living person at 115 years 99 days.

Bugatti has just claimed to have officially set the record for the
world’s fastest roadster. It is the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse
which has become the world's fastest open-topped production car. It has
achieved a top speed of 408.84 km/h (254.04 mph) on the 6th of April,
2013 at Volkswagen’s proving grounds.
Chinese racing driver Anthony Liu drove the car during its record run at Volkswagen's proving ground. The record was certified by TÜV, the independent German organization for technical Inspection and certification.
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is powered by a 1200-hp, quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16. It uses a specially designed roof spoiler to cut interior turbulence and wind noise. Its racing chassis, lightning-quick shock absorbers, reinforced anti-roll bars, four-wheel-drive, and carbon monocoque body transform the monstrous 8.0-liter W16's raw horsepower into pure speed.
In July of 2010, Bugatti set the production car world speed record with the Veyron Super Sport with a 267.8 mph (430.98 km/h) speed.
Bugatti now has a plan to introduce the World Record Car special edition at the Shanghai Motor Show later this month. The special edition will be limited to just eight models. It will sport the same black-and-orange color scheme featured on the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport.

Did you ever think of a fountain that could be used to tell the time
or to display artworks? In the South Gate Building of the Osaka Station
City complex in Japan, there is an amazing fountain that can display the
time. This nifty fountain can also display different artworks with
drops of water. This large rectangular water display was created by a
Japanese firm named Koei Industry.
The folks at Osaka Station City combined a giant clock, artwork display and water fountain to produce an incredible attraction. It seems like they couldn't decide if they should install a giant clock, water fountain or artwork, so they combined all of them in one.
This dot matrix water clock displays the time, as well as pretty graphics, using falling drops of water. The display consists of collapsing water which forms a fluid digital clock every minute. The water also forms into moving floral patterns and falling shapes between each minute.
The fountain clock works using a digitally controlled printer that outputs illuminated water droplets, creating a liquid manifestation of images stored on a computer. Flowing sheets of water act as a shimmering canvas, as the display is part waterfall and digital printer rolled into one. The water droplets are illuminated by overhead lights.
This fountain at the Osaka Station City in Japan is really an amazing fountain. Nothing can describe how mesmerizing the water fountain is unless you see them in your own eyes. I wonder if they’ll end up making HDTVs that will fit in water fountains someday.

The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) is a plan to build the world’s largest and most powerful optical telescope at the summit of Mauna Kea
volcano in Hawaii by California and Canadian universities. The plan has
got approval from the Hawaiian Board of Land and Natural Resources
clearing the way for the group managing the Thirty Meter Telescope
project to negotiate a sublease for land with the University of Hawaii.
The massive Thirty Meter Telescope will be able to image objects 13 billion light years away, near the beginning of time. The telescope would be able to observe planets outside our solar system and enable astronomers to watch new planets and stars being formed.
The Thirty Meter Telescope will have a primary mirror of 492 segments measuring some 100 feet across. It will have the power to image objects 13 billion light years away, near the beginning of the universe. The telescope's segmented primary mirror will give it nine times the collecting area of the largest optical telescopes in use today. Its images will also be three times sharper.
Construction of the next-generation observatory will begin next year and is expected to cost over $1 billion. The University of California system, the California Institute of Technology and the Association of Canadian Universities for Research in Astronomy are leading the project. China, India and Japan have signed on to be partners.
But the telescope may not hold the world's largest title for long. A group of European countries plans to build the European Extremely Large Telescope, which will have a 138-foot long mirror when it begins operations in 2021 in Chile.

The University of California system, the California Institute of Technology and the Association of Canadian Universities for Research in Astronomy are leading the project. China, India and Japan have signed on to be partners.
But the telescope may not hold the world's largest title for long. A group of European countries plans to build the European Extremely Large Telescope, which will have a 138-foot long mirror when it begins operations in 2021 in Chile.
The X House is an extraordinary house located in the picturesque
outskirts of Barcelona, Spain. The house is unique because of the fact
that it looks like an X from the top. The X House is built on a hilltop
in Cabrils and was designed by the Cadaval & Sola-Morales, a Spanish
design team. It is one of the few houses that can be called
extraordinary and unique.
This X-shaped house is an outstanding example of innovation and creativity. It provides amazing spectacular views of the valleys underneath from the house that sits on the hilltop. You can enjoy the breathtaking natural scenery without being disturbed by the surrounding environments. The structure sits slightly below street level which provides more privacy for its residents while maintaining its spectacular views. The large glass, angled frontage enables an abundance of natural light to flow through the house. The X-House is truly an architectural masterpiece.
Some rare and unique techniques were used to build the magnificent structure. Access in the house is made through the top floor that also houses a parking area and a suite destined to the owners. The suite includes a large studio and a main room equipped with a dresser and a bathroom. The lower level of the house has service areas and rooms with patios, spacious living area and a kitchen-dining room.

The PlayStation 4 is the
next-generation video game console from Sony Computer Entertainment. The
long anticipated PS4 was announced as the successor to the PlayStation 3
during a high-profile event in New York
on February 20, 2013. It is the second eighth-generation console to be
officially confirmed as the first was Nintendo's Wii U. The PlayStation 4
will also be the fourth home console in Sony's PlayStation series.
The PlayStation 4 is expected to be officially launched in the fourth quarter of 2013. It will compete with Nintendo's Wii U and Microsoft's Xbox One. The next-generation PlayStation console will be a powerful machine capable of some very showy graphics. Sony revealed some of Playstation 4's Hardware Specs at the PlayStation 4 Announcement on February 20, 2013. The company has confirmed that the PlayStation 4 will be powered by a custom 8-core AMD "Jaguar" x86-64 with integrated graphics APU and "next-generation" AMD Radeon graphics processor capable of driving 1.84 teraflops. Even though the company shared some details about the PlayStation 4 in February, it didn’t show what the console would look like.
Moving away from the Cell architecture, the PlayStation 4 will be the first in the Sony series to feature compatibility with the x86-64 instruction set, which is a widely used platform common in many modern PCs. The company said the PS4 would essentially be a “supercharged PC,” much like the Xbox.
The PS4 will come paired with 8GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory, making it competitive with most gaming-focused PCs on the market. The system will ship with a Blu-ray drive, built-in 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, as well as HDMI, Analog-AV, and optical digital output. Sony is giving I/O options a boost with the inclusion of USB 3.0 ports and a mysteriously vague "AUX" port. Each system will ship a "Mono Headset" for cross-game chat and other social features. While no hard drive numbers have been announced, Sony has stated that the PS4 will have "a very large hard drive in every console."
Sony promises that the PlayStation 4 will boot up and go to sleep instantaneously. It's intended to almost eradicate loading and download times. The PlayStation 4 platform is expected to have intelligent personalization and it will learn how individuals make use of the hardware. It will also have deeply integrated social capabilities, and innovative second-screen features.
There are a lot of rumors about PlayStation 4's specifications on the web. It is rumored that PlayStation 4 development kits are based around AMD's A10 chip - an APU that includes both four CPU cores and a fairly capable GPU. It is rumored to have a significantly-increased amount of system memory and to include support for high-resolution displays.
Other new features revolve around social networking and remote access. With one button, you can broadcast video of your game play so friends elsewhere can watch. You can also run a game on the PS4 to stream over the Internet to Sony’s mobile gaming device, the PlayStation Vita.

The new
Lamborghini Veneno is the most expensive production car in the world.
The Lamborghini Veneno was introduced at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The
Lamborghini Veneno comes with a price tag of $3.9 million. It's so
expensive that Lamborghini only built three examples of the car.
Interestingly, all three examples were sold before the automaker
formally unveiled its futuristic look.
Lamborghini’s habit of producing jaw-dropping supercars both in price and appearance is renowned worldwide. The Italian automaker celebrated its 50 year anniversary by releasing the Lamborghini Veneno. The world's most expensive car features a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 that produces 750 horsepower. Top speed is said to be 221 mph with reported 0-60 time of 2.8 seconds. The Lamborghini Veneno is the fastest Lamborghini ever.
The first Middle Eastern supercar, the Lykan Hypersport from W Motors, makes its way into second place on the list of world's most expensive cars with a $3.4 million price tag. The world’s fastest car, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, interestingly loses its hold on the most expensive car title by a margin. It comes at number three in the list with the price tag of $2.6 million. It proves that price and speed don’t necessarily go hand-in-hand.

The Lamborghini Aventador is big, bullish and ballistic sports car.
It is the current flagship model in the Lamborghini range. The
Lamborghini Aventador is brutish, bold and brash, fast, furious and
frivolous. It is a car designed for indulgence, a true supercar that is
built to go fast, and little else.
The Lamborghini Aventador is a two-seater hyper sportscar, a 21st century icon. It was publicly unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show on 28 February 2011 by Lamborghini. According to Lamborghini, Aventador is the name of a Bull and this is the fastest bull in the world!
The Lamborghini Aventador is the fastest supercar from Lamborghini and is regarded as one of the fastest cars in the world. The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 claims a 217 mph top speed. As the full name suggests, it takes 700hp and four-wheel drive to get it there. But it is the race-mode gearshifts that really make this car feel ridiculously fast.
The Aventador uses a 6.5-litre, V12 engine which produces 700 HP at 8,250 rpm and 509 lb-ft at 5,500 rpm. This output is just enough to sprint the car from 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds while blasting off a top speed of 217 mph.
