That's a shitload of Legos... I stepped on a Lego once. Once. I nearly died, threw them all away. "On Monday, Aug. 19, 2013, Superintendent Merv Daugherty was hoisted in a crane to top off the 112 foot, 11 and 3/4 inch LEGO tower, which shattered the previous record for the tallest LEGO Tower ever built by more than 6 feet. Students throughout the Wilmington, Delaware school district built sections of the tower, made up of about 500,000 donated Lego bricks." http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/08/21/11-story-lego-tower-is-officially-the-worlds-tallest/   Less

South African scientists making a noteworthy contribution to the world. They've come up with the world's first digital laser system.The digital laser has been developed by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in Pretoria. Normal lasers use mirrors to shape and guide laser light for a specific task. But the digital laser can be manipulated by tiny LCD screens to make the laser perform multiple functions as required. And by changing its properties, a single laser can be used in a variety of ways, depending on the type of beam needed for the job. This new technology would benefit society in many ways ranging from healthcare to communications. But this is something that consumers are unlikely to notice.   Less

How fast can you tie a tie? Well, one Indian man called 'tie-man' can tie a Windsor knot in under 20 seconds, faster than the previous world record. Deepak Sharma has already made his name in India's Book of National Records and the Limca Book of Records.This time he seems to have his name in the Guinness World Record for tying the Windsor knot in an impressive time of seventeen point ninety one seconds despite the fact that the clock stopped at eighteen point twenty two seconds. He will enter the books as soon as it is officially approved by the authorities. The Windsor knot is a method of tying a neck tie named after Britain's Duke of Windsor. The previous record belongs to Sam Dove of Cyprus with a time of twenty point twenty seven seconds.   Less

Robot vs Rubik's Cube World Record smashed in UK

Here at Guavo HQ we love technology... and it doesn't get better than a robot story to get us excited! Now meet the CUBESTORMER 3 robot which very impressively uses ARM-powered processor technology to be able to solve a Rubik's Cube in the fastest time known to mankind. This weekend at the Big Bang Fair in Birmingham, the UK's biggest single celebration of science & engineering for young people robot history was made. The 3rd model of the CUBESTORMER kicked Rubik's Cube ass and managed to achieve an incredible solving time of 3.253 SECONDS... It is now officially the fastest-ever time set by a robot for the completion of a Rubik's cube and the result of 18 months of effort by co-inventors David Gilday and Mike Dobson who worked on the project in their spare time. David Gilday is a principle engineer at ARM, the world's leading processor design company based in Cambridge, and co-inventor Mike Dobson, a security systems engineer for Securi-Plex. He said: "We knew CUBESTORMER 3 had the potential to beat the existing record but with the robot perfoming physical operations quicker than the human eye can see there's always an element of risk," The new robot uses an ARM-powered Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone to act as the brain of the robot and analyse the cube and instruct four robotic hands to do the hard work physical manipulation. The robot device is also built with colourful Lego bricks from the toy company's Technic range which gives it a kind of friendlier appearance, as opposed to something scary from one of the Terminator movie franchises in Hollywood. The world record was officially adjudicated and verified on the day at the NEC in Birmingham by Craig Glenday, Editor-in-chief of the annual Guinness World Records Book.

As trying to flee away from the scene, the vehicle rammed into the rear of another motorbike moving ahead almost immediately after that, causing Long, Huy and the girl riding the motorbike fell down on the road. They tried to stand up in a hurry, but fell again as the scooter was off balance. As soon as people nearby shout out about the robbery, and many others realized that the two men were the robbers, they round them up. At that time, a PC45 task force which was on a patrol appeared and immediately seized control of the situation, arresting the two and bringing them to the headquarter of District 10 police agency for detain and investigation. Through taking testimony, Long confessed had a criminal record for asset robbery. According to the report from the victim, a 36-year-old woman living in the district, she was carrying two mobile phones and a wallet containing several papers inside when being robbed.   Less

The first 12 of these videos can be found in Set #1 and four more each in Sets #2 and #3. Two are included in Set #4, there in #5. Here are another four.. Here are three more. Pursuant to a Public Records Request under NM law - all videos of the officers (helmet or lapel) at the scene of the James Boyd murder on March 16th were demanded to be produced. The following (incomplete - a violation of the law) set were obtained. These are the videos in their RAW form. They are being analyzed and there will be compilation and analysis videos to follow using these. These raw form videos are presented here for two purposes - to serve as the original source material for further productions of video and news stories that will utilize these - so people can see the primary source material for themselves; and for other citizen journalists and citizens to be able to see and use these materials for further work and for general public information. These records and posts will also be an ongoing project - being updated over time - and will be used for the video analysis. Thus I have opened up the ability for people to create their own annotations - in the hope that others interested and concerned about this issue will contribute to trying to understand the information contained in these records.
