Bloodhound Rocket Car - Record Land Speed
Bloodhound Rocket Car - Record Land Speed
Bloodhound is the amazing rocket car that will try to beat the land speed record that stands since 1997 when the Thrust SSC passed cleanly through the speed of sound at 763 mph. The new supercar will go far beyond touching one thousand mph.
Then translating that into mph would mean 1600km / h, breakneck speed, well above those of many planes, of course available for short stretches with a high risk by the pilot who actually travel on a real missile Wheel.
Thrust SSC's record could be so pulverized by Bloodhound, a car with a hybrid rocket powered by an engine with a triple engine jet - Eurojet EJ200 - and a 800 bhp V12 engine. In the picture above we are facing a full-scale prototype for a length of over 12 meters.
The first test of Bloodhound is scheduled for year end, the truth will probably attempt the classic route on the salt lake where the American car rocket launch in a return trip with the calculation of final average in the stretch run. And then you find out if it can beat the record of ten years.

2. Consult a broker because you might not know all the available deals in the market and the broker just might be able to hook you up with a great one.
3. Since you are the one who is taking the mortgage, you should consider comparing offers. Comparing different offers will give you an insight into what is being offered and how does it benefit. This will help you rule out the unwanted offers.
4. Don't settle on the first mortgage offer that you get you should look out for other offers as well. You might feel that this offer might be best for you but look around because you might be missing something that the other offer is covering.
5. Once finalized on the offer make sure that the company is genuine. It is often that the company is a sham and you end losing. So, to avoid that do a proper background check on the company.

Catholic Church of the Transfiguration by DOS Architects
When it comes about houses or hotels creativity of architects is huge. We’ve already shown you incredibly beautiful and sometimes strange projects like Nautilus House or Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. But this time we want to show you amazing project of catholic church of transfiguration created by London based design studio DOS Arhitects. This concept have won a competition to design a 2000-seat church in Lagos, Nigeria. The project consists of variously-sized arches at four-metre intervals, creating a swooping roof. This steel structure will contain a two-storey congregation hall with glazing at either end emphasising the hall’s height. Construction is expected to begin in 2011.
desitecture- vertical city, venezula
'vertical city' by venezualean architectural firm desitecture is a proposal situated on 23 de enero caracas, venezula - which was originally designed to become a mass housing block for residents to live and work in. on january 23rd, 1958, when the dictator president jimenez was ousted following a military coup. masses of homeless and lower class citizens flooded into the tower and it has since become known as 23 de enero. to cope with the threat of eviction the residents became more organised and networks of exchange and communication formed within the towers which became self contained micro communities.
as the area on which the tower is constructed, is that of slums, this gives value to previously worthless land. the stakeholders now have options either to move out of the slums and reside in a new unit within the tower in its emerging micro economic community whilst deriving an income from their share in the land development or to relocate altogether, somewhere new. although this would have the effect of breaking up the established community. the tower releases land, provides work and acts as a negotiator for an engagement with capital. the city gains a new quarter providing fresh produce and enhanced transport links and facilities, to a new economic zone.
the three cups, define distinct user groups and activities, which are nonetheless related, typically they could contain college level activity, university and research economy business; or retail, hotel, apartments; or social housing, local administration and offices. the tower has all the elements of work, leisure, home and a sense of place in one entity. access to and from the tower takes many forms,
cable car, helicopter, water taxi car or metro. bars, cafes and restaurants should flourish in such a climate, taking their cue from many roof top venues. the tower it is hoped will become a destination in its own right with 24hr zones of activity.
the 180 storey tower's structure bears a strong relationship to the folded spoon analogy, with the bowl being the elliptical lagoon and the shaft and vertical legs supporting the cups. the tower appears to be a twisting cantilever, but is in fact a simple structure, with only the top cup having a cantilevered element. the main support are the vertical and diagonal structural frame containing circulation and services this runs through all the cups and in the first forty five storey's supports the palette shaped overlapping gardens and city farms.
beneath the tower are four levels of vehicular access and parking covering an expansive area, which incorporates the piled structural legs and the diagonal main composite core, which grows into the structure of the lagoon, acting as a tabilizing counterweight to the tower. the inner structure of the cups is a diagonal structural grid into which the wheatsheaf pattern of woven individual units
