'Fast and Furious' star Paul Walker dies in car crash in Santa Clarita

Fast And Furious star Paul Walker dies prior this night after an car crash in Santa Clarita, California. Various reports demonstrate Walker, 40, was travelling in a Porsche Carrera Gt that bang into a post or a tree and made burst into flames. Walker and the driver were both declared dead at the scene.

Cops are still on the location where accident took place while ,the L.a. district Coroner's officer is on his way.

It's not clear up till now what made the accident to occur. What's more even no one knows who was driving the car.

The collision totally crushed the red Porsche Carrera Gt that was included. The Carrera GT appears to be from Always Evolving, a performance shop that  Mr. Walker is accepted to be monetarily included with.

Individuals near by Paul uncovered that he was in Santa Clarita for an auto show to help and back the individuals of storm stricken in Philippines.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse 2013: Earth's Shadow To Fall On Full Moon On Friday, Oct. 18

A penumbral lunar eclipse -- so called because only the incomplete outer portion of the Earth's shadow, or penumbra, falls across the moon -- is expected to reach its deepest point at 7:50 p.m. ET on Friday, Oct. 18.
Unlike total eclipses, in which Earth's umbra -- the central region of its shadow -- darkens the moon entirely, a penumbral lunar eclipse involves only a slight dimming. Skywatchers should expect to see a much more subtle sight -- with a shadow on the lower half of the full moon -- like the eclipse pictured below.

 

Weather permitting, viewers in the eastern part of the North American continent should have a decent chance of seeing the end of the eclipse. But the best show will be visible in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. For skywatchers in these parts of the world, the celestial phenomenon will be observable during the overnight hours when the full moon should appear brighter in the night sky. As PlanetSave noted, the penumbral lunar eclipse is expected to take place between 9:51 p.m and 1:50 a.m. GMT.

A map illustrates the expected visibility of the penumbral lunar eclipse during the October 2013 full moon.

 Viewers along North America's West Coast may be out of luck, as the eclipse will occur during daylight hours there. The next lunar eclipse isn't expected until April 2014.

'Bionic Man' Walks, Breathes With Artificial Parts

 

Artificial pancreas

The term "bionic man" was the stuff of science fiction in the 1970s, when a popular TV show called "The Six Million Dollar Man" chronicled the adventures of Steve Austin, a former astronaut whose body was rebuilt using artificial parts after he nearly died.
Now, a team of engineers has assembled a robot using artificial organs, limbs and other body parts that comes tantalizingly close to a true "bionic man." For real, this time.
The artificial "man" is the subject of a Smithsonian Channel documentary that airs Sunday, Oct. 20 at 9 p.m. Called "The Incredible Bionic Man," it chronicles engineers' attempt to assemble a functioning body using artificial parts that range from a working kidney and circulation system to cochlear and retina implants.
The robot making appearances in the U.S. for the first time this week. Having crossed the Atlantic tucked inside two metal trunks — and after a brief holdup in customs — the bionic man will strut his stuff at the New York Comic Con festival on Friday.
Walker says the robot has about 60 to 70 percent of the function of a human. It stands six-and-a-half feet tall and can step, sit and stand with the help of a Rex walking machine that's used by people who've lost the ability to walk due to a spinal injury. It also has a functioning heart that, using an electronic pump, beats and circulates artificial blood, which carries oxygen just like human blood. An artificial, implantable kidney, meanwhile, replaces the function of a modern-day dialysis unit.
Although the parts used in the robot work, many of them are a long way from being used in humans. The kidney, for example, is only a prototype. And there are some key parts missing: there's no digestive system, liver, or skin. And, of course, no brain.
The bionic man was modeled after Bertolt Meyer, a 36-year-old social psychologist at the University of Zurich who was born without his lower left arm and wears a bionic prosthesis. The man's face was created based on a 3D scan of Meyer's face.
"We wanted to showcase that the technology can provide aesthetic prostheses for people who have lost parts of their faces, for example, their nose, due to an accident or due to, for example, cancer," Meyer says.
Meyer says he initially felt a sense of unease when he saw the robot for the first time.
"I thought it was rather revolting to be honest," he says. "It was quite a shock to see a face that closely resembles what I see in the mirror every morning on this kind of dystopian looking machine."
He has since warmed up to it, especially after the "man" was outfitted with some clothes from the U.K. department store Harrods.
And the cost? As it turns out, this bionic man comes cheaper than his $6-million-dollar sci-fi cousin. While the parts used in the experiment were donated, their value is about $1 million.

Watery Asteroid Remnants Around Distant Star Boosts Chance Of Life Outside Solar System

Now, scientists have discovered evidence that a white dwarf known as GD 61 was once orbited by a rocky, water-rich asteroid—just the kind of thing you’d need to build a habitable alien world.
Most stars (including, in about 4 billion years, our sun) end their lives as white dwarfs, after they have burned all their nuclear fuel. These super dense stellar embers exert such strong gravity that any element heavier than helium will immediately sink to the dwarf’s core. So imagine astronomers’ surprise when they discovered that some white dwarfs are cloaked in layers of “pollution” made up of silicon, oxygen, and other elements much higher up on the periodic table.
t GD 61 has “shredded” a rocky asteroid that was 26% to 28% water. About the same size as Vesta in our solar system’s asteroid belt, the asteroid likely orbited the white dwarf’s precursor, an A-type star slightly bigger than the sun. After that star died, the white dwarf’s stronger gravity probably dragged in the asteroid and tore it apart.
Water-rich asteroids are considered to be important for the formation of habitable planets, crashing into them and supplying them with life-giving liquid water. Although “we certainly can’t rewind the clock completely” to discover what GD 61’s original solar system looked like, Farihi says, the discovery of the asteroid reveals “the building blocks of Earth-like planets were there.” In the future, he hopes to look at the system with a powerful telescope like the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array radio array in Chile to see if any of the original planets survived the death of their star, or whether anything remains of the asteroid belt where the water-rich planetesimal was born.
Finding a water-rich asteroid near a white dwarf bolsters the long-shot idea that life might rise again around these dead stars, says John Debes, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, who wasn’t involved in the research. After their stars’ violent deaths, white dwarfs remain remarkably stable for billions more years, which would mean “they’d actually be really good places to live,” Debes says. The problem, however, is that a planet would have to be extremely close to a dim white dwarf to be warm enough to support life—as close as the devoured asteroid was to GD 61, in fact. Still, Debes says, if a rocky planet managed to settle into a stable orbit that close to a white dwarf, Farihi’s team’s discovery shows that “there might be some hope of getting water onto those planets” via asteroids—just what happened on Earth so many billions of years ago.

iPhone 6 With 4.8-Inch Display? An Apple 'Phablet'? This Week In Apple Rumors

Bigger Display for the "iPhone 6"?
The iPhone 5S and 5C have only been out for a few weeks, but people are, of course, already talking about the next iPhone, which we're just going to call the iPhone 6. Peter Misek, an analyst at Jefferies LLC, piqued interest this week when he said in a research note that "[t]he iPhone 6 will likely have a new design and a 4.8" display."
That would make it quite a bit bigger than the iPhone 5, which has a 4-inch display, although would put it in line with smartphones like the Nexus 4, Moto X and HTC One.
But that's not all!
An Apple "Phablet"?
Say it ain't so! David Hsieh, an analyst at DisplaySearch, thinks that Apple will take a page from Samsung's book and release a 5.7-inch phone. Such a device would certainly qualify as a phone-tablet hybrid, which some insist on calling a "phablet." These large-screened phones have become very popular in the Asia-Pacific region, outselling tablets and laptops, according to IDC, the technology market research firm.
New iPad & iPad Mini Coming Soon
The new iPad and iPad mini will be unveiled on Oct. 22, according to AllThingsD, and both iPads are expected to come with a host of predictable upgrades. The iPad, which will be the fifth generation of the tablet, will probably be thinner, lighter and faster -- it will have the 64-bit A7 chip that's in the iPhone 5S, AllThingsD reports -- and, of course, it will have a better camera. And as The Wall Street Journal reported in August, the second generation iPad mini is expected to have a high resolution "Retina" display.
The jury is still out on whether or not the new tablets will feature Touch ID, the fingerprint unlocking technology that's on the new iPhone 5S.
Notorious teenage Apple leaker Sonny Dickson has what he says are some images of the new tablets.
"iWatch" Watch:
We've been hearing for months about the so-called "iWatch," a wearable device everyone thinks Apple is developing. Much of the speculation -- and it's only speculation -- has focused on the device serving as a type of extension of an iPhone. But VentureBeat relayed a research note on Thursday from Brian White, an analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald, that says a supplier described the iWatch to him "as much more than an extension of your iPhone but as a multi-purpose gateway in allowing consumers to control their home (i.e., heating/cooling, lights, audio, video, etc.)."
Apple recently poached a prominent designer who had worked on the Nike+ Fuelband, and Bloomberg reported in February that as many as 100 employees are working on the device. But it's anyone's guess when -- and if -- this thing will be released.
Apple Television To Feature Sharp and LG Displays?
We can't write about Apple rumors without mentioning the long-rumored television that the company is supposedly working on. Misek, the Jefferies analyst who this week said that Apple will come out with a bigger-screened iPhone, wrote in the same research note that Apple is buying "thousands of TV panels" -- 55, 60 and 65-inch -- from LG Display and Sharp.
 

Krokodil – Horrific Impact Of Deadly ‘Cannibal Heroin’ That ‘Eats’ Addicts Alive

Russia has more heroin users than any other country in the world – up to two million, according to unofficial estimates. For most, their lot is a life of crime, stints in prison, probable contraction of HIV and hepatitis C, and an early death. As efforts to stem the flow of Afghan heroin into Russia bring some limited success, and the street price of the drug goes up, for those addicts who can't afford their next hit, an even more terrifying spectre has raised its head.
The home-made drug that Oleg and Sasha inject is known as krokodil, or "crocodile". It is desomorphine, a synthetic opiate many times more powerful than heroin that is created from a complex chain of mixing and chemical reactions, which the addicts perform from memory several times a day. While heroin costs from £20 to £60 per dose, desomorphine can be "cooked" from codeine-based headache pills that cost £2 per pack, and other household ingredients available cheaply from the markets.
It is a drug for the poor, and its effects are horrific. It was given its reptilian name because its poisonous ingredients quickly turn the skin scaly. Worse follows. Oleg and Sasha have not been using for long, but Oleg has rotting sores on the back of his neck.

• Krokodil is similar to heroin and originated in Russia 10 years ago
• Homemade concoction can be up to 10 times cheaper than heroin 
• Continual use leads to blood vessels bursting and eventually causes the skin to rot 

30,000 people die in Russia every year because due to its ravages.

 
Following reports over the past month of cases of krokodil abuse in both Arizona and Chicago, Illinois, the drug is now believed to have hit New York.
The homemade concoction can be up to 10 times cheaper than heroin and is created by mixing codeine with gasoline or oil.




Severe cases like this one result in flesh rotting off the bone.

The drug is made of readily available ingredients such as codeine, iodine and toxins such as gasoline, industrial cleaning oil, lighter fluid and paint thinner. Users filter and boil ingredients together, then inject the drug.
The results are catastrophic.
Continual use of krokodil, Russian for crocodile, causes blood vessels to burst, leaving skin green and scaly and eventually causing gangrene.
In Russia around 30,000 people die from the affects of the drug every year. It is thought about
a quarter of a million people in the country are now hooked on the poison.
Addiction is spreading among young people and even those who manage to quit come away disfigured for life.

The following photographs (of unknown origin) have been circulated with the claim that they depict the severely damaging physical effects produced in some krokodil users:

Samsung Galaxy S5 concept packs flexible screen and aluminium unibody

The next flagship Galaxy S smartphone will be a radical break with form. Or at least it will be if the Samsung-fixated sorts at galaxys5info.com have anything to do with it.
A designer at the site has worked up a concept phone packing the flexible screen technology that’s been earmarked for Samsung phones for what feels like ages. But which has been omitted so far, presumably because it’s not market-ready yet.
The 5.3-inch flexible OLED YOUM screen wraps around the edges of the phone, with touch-sensitive controls where you’d normally expect to find a physical volume rocker. The standard physical home button has gone the way of all flesh too and is replaced by a touch sensor.

Interestingly given the rash of criticism Samsung copped for the Galaxy S3 and S4's 'cheap-feeling' plastic construction, the creator of the concept imagines the S5 packing a lavish unibody aluminium build, which is waterproof and dustproof.
That’s something that’s not totally out of the question in the light of Samsung’s attempt to give the recently launched Note 3 a more premium feel by incorporating a leather back panel. It's also consistent with rumours that metal casings were considered for the S4, before being rejected due to manufacturing issues.
And of course because this is strictly in the realms of fantasy, this handset's spec sheet is wonderfully lavish. Think: 16-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, a 2GHz Exynos 5 OctaCore processor and Android 4.4 Kit Kat out of the box.

Not enough for you? It's also home to quad-surround speakers, wireless charging and a 3,200mAh Li-ion battery that delivers “50% more battery life than the current Galaxy S4”. With smartphones’ disappointing longevity remaining the industry’s dirty little secret, the latter is something that we'd welcome.

A Cell Phone that Will Last Forever

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it right? When it comes to cell phones, the beloved adage does not ring true - most folks upgrade their phones more than once every two years. But why? Some people are looking for the most up-to-date technology, while others discover that instead of fixing a broken part, it’s easier and cheaper to buy a whole new phone. This amounts to a significant number of discarded cell phones - over 150 million in 2010 in the United States alone.Dave Hakens has come up with a brilliant concept that might just revolutionize the way electronics are made, starting with cell phones. Phonebloks would be a customized cell phone made up of easily detachable blocks, allowing the user to build their own phone depending on individual needs. Parts would be supplied from a wide range for brands, giving the buyer the choice to construct the cell phone of their dreams. For example, some might want a larger, easy-to-read screen while camera buffs might opt for a premium lens.
At this point Hakens isn’t seeking out funding for Phonebloks, but rather gauging demand and interest in his ingenious idea. He’s teamed up with Thunderclap, a crowdspeaking platform that allows a singular cause or message to be shared in mass, flash mob-style via social media. Phonebloks’ message will be blasted out on October 29th with the hopes of reaching a large audience, including designers and engineers, who will jump on board to create the very first sustainable cell phone.

22 year old guy jumped onto the railway track !

The 22 year man jumped down onto the railway track, the reason of jumping was that he dropped his cell phone, and hit by train leads him to death.

Eye witness said it seems crazy that a guy jumped for this silly reason, but on the other hand they said this might be a suicide.

The tracks were at the White Plains and east 241st street, in Wakefield Bronx.

What a stupid act ! is cellphone more important than the human life Huh!........
