DHONI'S HUMMER
Tomato treat
The free radicals in our body can be flushed out with high levels of lycopene, which is found in abundance in tomatoes. Several types of cancers can also be cured by the lycopene present in our bodies. Many researches also discovered that men who consumed 10 tomatoes a week can cut risk of developing prostate cancer by 45 %, while men who consume 7 raw tomatoes a week can lower the effect of developing stomach cancer by 60 %.
Cooked tomatoes are even more richer than the normal raw tomatoes. Cooking tomatoes in olive oil allows your body to absorb the lycopene in a better way. And they are rich in potassium and contain niacin, vitamin B6, and folate which is good for heart. Tomatoes are also rich in two anti-ageing free radicals lycopene and beta carotene. This beta carotene is converted into vitamin A once you eat it. Vitamin A helps in devolpment of healthy skin, hair and aids vision and development of bones and teeth. Most important thing that we want to do while picking up the tomatoes is, make sure that you choose the ones that come in the brightest shades of red as these have high amounts of beta carotene and lycopene. Since they contain lots of fibre and are low in calories, tomatoes are a great food to include in your diet if you're keen in losing your weight.

Spark plugs are replaced by Laser to start up the Cars
Liverpool university and Ford have come up with a new technology to introduce laser instead of normal spark plugs to start up the cars. Using laser in ignition system is much easier to ignite the fuel then the normal spark plug. This technology is more reliable and efficient than the current spark plug technology and would help in starting up the vehicles even in cold and damp condition.
You may have a question that why scientist have done research on laser for ignition, but not on other things?
Laser can be focused and split into more than beams to give two or more ignition points, which means it can give up the best chance of ignition than any other thing.
If we consider the current ignition system, the spark plugs are normally positioned at the bottom or top of the cylinder and sometimes they can often fail to ignite the fuel effectively if the petrol is not in right position in the cylinder. But in the new technology the spark plug is replaced by the laser which is powered by the car battery, which is sent along thin optical fibers in to the engines cylinders, when lenses focus the beam into an intense pinprick of light.
There is no doubt that, this technology is going to get a huge response from the people's all around the world. So, soon we all will forget spark plugs, because you would be able to start your car by laser.
World's largest Trencher
A trencher is a equipment used for the construction purpose, it is used to dig trenches, typically laying pipes, cables etc. The trenches are also available in different sizes and ranges according to the need. The picture which is shown above is the largest trencher in the world. The trencher is otherwise known as Rotating shovel. This trencher is built by Krupp in Germany. Huge amount of money is spent for making this trencher. The total money spent to built this trencher is about $100 million. The machine is cheap when they are made as self propelled.
The time taken to built and manufacture this trencher is 5 years. The machine is 95 meters high and 215 meters long, this is almost equal to 2 football fields in distance. The weight of the machine is 45,500 tonnes. The maximum digging speed of this machine is 10 meters per minute. This giant machine has an ability to move 76,000 cubic meter of rock, coal and earth per day.
The are also different types of trenchers which is available are :
* Wheel trencher
* Chain trencher
* Rock wheel
* Portable trencher
The latest 300 horsepower Rock wheel trencher is the famous underground equipment which is used for construction. In this new type of rock wheel trencher, the vibrations are adjusted automatically by the trencher stabilizers. This 300 horsepower rock wheel trencher is also named as HT300. It can trench 10 feet with a width of 36 inches in places like rock laden sites. The maximum power is given to the trencher due to an effective flywheel gear box used in the HT300. The cruise control system in this machine have the tendency to increase the ground speed automatically. These are the specialties of this HT300 rock wheel machine.
Rat Island is now Rat Free Island
In America, next to the Alaska there is an island named Aleutians island. Many small islands are seen near this Aleutians island. In that a island is named as RAT island, because rats have ruled that island for more than 200 years. Now this has come to an end, because all these rats in the island is killed. The area of the Rat island is around 26 sq.km.
In 1870, a Japanese goods ship had ran aground on the island and got sink in the sea. Some rats in the ship entered the island. since there is no humans lived in the island, only birds like eagle used to live in the island. After some years, the number of rats in the island started to increase rapidly. At first the rats started to eat the eggs of the birds, and then it moved to the kill the birds to eat them up. The rats never let to grow even the trees in the island. Due to this number trees and birds in the island is decreased.
At some stage, it is found that there is no living things other than rats in the island. so, the government decided to kill all these rats in the island. They made many plans to kill the rats completely, but nothing worked for them. Just few months before, they started to spray the poison for 10 days continuously throughout the entire island to kill the rats with the help of helicopter. Due to this the ruling of rats for past 229 years in the island is now reached to an end. Now birds have started to lay eggs in the trees of the island so, the RAT ISLAND is now RAT FREE ISLAND.
