World’s Strongest Guy Lifts Spirits, Promotes Health and Exercise

Sometime last week, numerous schoolchildren from Round Rock, Texas came face to face with the World’s Strongest Man.

Texas native Mark Henry, a former Olympic weightlifter, record-breaking powerlifter and Proficient Wrestling World Champion, was joined by a group of ex-NFL stars as well as his WWE best friend, Mark Callaway, AKA The Undertaker.

The event was created to promote the need for schooling, wellbeing and fitness in time for the new school term. Henry flew in from New York in order to visit the children and inspire them to better things for the coming school months. As part of the day’s celebrations, Henry pulled a Semi Truck for a great distance before a group of amazed children, event organizers and parents.

Mark Henry’s inventory of athletic accomplishments is impressive. He competed in both the 1992 and 1996 Olympic games as a weightlifter; Henry was also a Gold Medal winner in the 1995 Pan American Games and was named Drug-Free World Champion Powerlifter in 1995. He was named U.S powerlifting champion twice. He is a reigning world record holder in quite a few areas and is credited with the biggest raw squat and raw powerlifting total ever performed by a drug-tested athlete.

Henry is also a 3-time U.S National Weightlifting Champion, an American Open winner, Two-Time U.S Olympic Festival Champion and NACAC Champion. In 2002, he won the very first annual Arnold Strongman Classic Competition and has openly performed numerous feats of power, including pushing a tank.

Mark Henry’s declaration to being the ‘World’s Strongest Man’ is somewhat dubious and not thought official by most organizations, but later set lifting records throughout his life and winning at least one strongman contest, his declaration is respected by most (and the visual evidence is difficult to deny).

Henry has also had a 17-year career in Professional Wrestling, competing in the WWE (formerly WWF) ever since company owner Vince McMahon learned that Henry was a wrestling fan. His ensuing career has seen him win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship two times, also as the ECW Championship and also the WWE European Championship.

Notwithstanding his no-nonsense on-screen persona (a character who frequently welcomes his enemies to the ‘Hall of Pain’) Henry is extremely active with the ‘Make a Wish’ Foundation, (a charity group that grants desires to children with life-threatening or fatal illnesses) as well as numerous anti-drug and anti-bullying campaigns.

When interviewed over on the day, Henry said: “I want the kids to have what I did not have. I didn’t have a great deal growing up. I hope more people did it for me, so I try to do it in kind.”

Scientists Settle on Dimension of Largest Ever Fish

A joint Scottish-Canadian team has proven that the primitive fish leedsichthys problematicus is the largest boned fish ever to journey the seas of the planet.


Growing to lengths of 16.5 m over a projected escalation era of 40 years, the Jurassic-era fish would have outgrown even today’s enormous whale sharks. In spite of its daunting size, however, leedsichthys is thought to have been a filter feeder, akin to baleen whales, basking sharks and whale sharks are today.


Revealed in the late 19th century and officially named (after British farmer and fossil collector Alfred Leeds) in 1889, remains of leedsichthys have been unearthed right through Europe, as well as in South America.


The ‘problematicus’ piece of its scientific name stems from the fact that leedsichthys fossils are disreputably tricky to identify. This is due to the proven fact that leedsichthys’ skeleton #was not# made entirely of bone. Large portions #of the# animal’s internal structure were actually #made from# cartilage, just #as a# shark’s bone structure is. Cartilage #does not# mineralize as willingly as bone and, as the result, fossil cartilage is fairly exceptional.


Out of context, the fossilized bones can symbolize a challenge to palaeontologists. Through the years, remains of leedsichthys have even been posited as belonging to bone-plated dinosaur stegosaurus!


Because leedsichthys vertebrae was cartilaginous, it is very tricky to see how long the fish may have been, with some unconfirmed estimates signifying that it’s as long as 30 metres.


Still, when a new, more total, fossil was found near Peterborough, UK, scientists were eventually able to take an exact measurement. Professor Jeff Liston, of the National Museum of Scotland, said, “We sat down and checked out a good series of specimens, not just at the bones, but their interior growth structures as well – much like the growth rings in trees – to have some ideas with the ages of these animals, along with their estimated dimensions,”


The team finally resolute that a small adult leedsichthys would grow to 8 or 9 m after some 20 years and, in an additional two decades; it could get to approximately 16.5 m in length. This is greater than the whale shark, the largest bony fish living now, in spite of persistent and credible reports of whale sharks developing as long as 14 m in length.


This information is thrilling to scientists and natural history fans because it guarantees a useful insight into the alterations in ocean life that occurred around and during the Jurassic era.


Scientists now believe that filter-feeding sea animals began as comparatively tiny animals, before increasing to enormous sizes we all know these days. The incredible size of leedishthys problematicus thus implies that there was a massive surge in the plankton population of the Mesozoic seas.


The invention also involves a major change to our records.

You have Them While You’re at the Golf course Comms on the Green

Golf clubs (by we mean the locations, not the kit) are huge expanses of land. They cross vast areas, hire sizeable numbers of people and are plausibly complex environments to run.

Additionally to a need of expedient communication among various layers of administration, universal health and safety considerations and also devotion required to keep a good course looking pristine, walkie talkies are very important to golf clubs for keeping personnel connected with each other. Additionally they help to provide security over huge spaces and a lot more besides. Let us go into all this in a tad more detail, shall we?

Two way radios are easy to utilize, cheap and totally trustworthy. A mobile phone (or similar gadget) simply would not be anywhere near as reliable inside the same circumstances, particularly when one considers that most of a golf course is in the open air and thus subject to weather, atmospheric conditions and other intangibles.

Two-way radios are tough gadgets, suitable for use on all kinds of territory. If the tasks required are mostly outside, it is sensible to employ similar technology that troopers use within the desert or the police use in the city, doesn’t it?

Radios provide a rapid and useful answer to emergencies of any type. Direct communication is really a essential tool when it relates to reporting on the mishap and ensuring that assistance arrives A.S.A.P. Radios also allow staff to report on the condition of that green, relaying participant reaction directly to management, ensuring a quick and specialized answer to any concerns. This, consequently, can help to cultivate player loyalty, providing a good club with legions of loyal people who will appeal to other customers and thus supply the club with steady trade.

But that is not all a walkie talkie is good for on the golf course. In general, golf courses require an increased amount of management skill and the key to good management is excellent comms. Two way radios help to ensure that the on-course personnel are equipped for the player’s particular needs. Radios help other amenities of the club (shops, restaurants, bathrooms etc) to run easily and still offer high standards and excellence service.

Without radios, a golf course would need several levels of management, if only to handle all of the travel between spaces. The management of a decent course can be a logistical nightmare. An extended, gentle round of golf (enjoyed by everybody from Larry David to Alice Cooper) might alternatively represent a stress-filled, barrier-riddled game that many would give up on before they ever even teed off.

If you utilize mototrbo radios in the office, then you need to look at these earpieces

Last time we noted that James Bond may use the earpiece we’re just about to describe if he were helping a mate to guard a club. We understand that it is a peculiar state of affairs to find yourself in, but it has probably happened several times in a few early Ian Fleming drafts…(Editor’s Note: Wow. That is quite a tangent. Well done).

The Motorola dp3400 earpiece looks excellent, works perfectly and doesn’t cost a great deal of money. You really can’t fault it on its virtues.

The Dp 3400 earpiece includes an HQ Press to talk that has outstanding clarity and depth of noise. Any command, even if a laryngitis-stricken Muttley offers it to you from a library anywhere, will be clear, clean and crisp to the ear.

But that is not all, not by a long shot. The clear tube is invisible, made purposely for concealment and discretion; it even is included with an extra earbud.

It even has (and we swear we are not making this up) a concealed micro-speaker situated at the base of the centre of that Press to talk button.

Earpieceonline lists this earpiece at £27.50, but that strikes us a genuine bargain. This earpiece is secret, brilliantly made and very high quality. It’s also sturdy and hard wearing. Of the many devices we have checked out thus far, the Dp 3400 earpiece is definitely the best looking. By way of performance, it is also the very best one we’ve viewed so far.

The Dp 3400 earpiece is well-suited with LOADS of Motorola (and Motorola TRBO radios) including (but not at all limited to): DP, DGP, XPR and XiR Series. XiR-P8200, XiR-P8208, XiR-P8260, XiR-P8268, XPR6300, XPR6350, XPR6500, XPR6550, DGP-4150, DGPTM 4150+, DGPTM 6150, DGPTM 6150+, DP-3400, DP-3401, DP-3600 and DP-3601 and the MTP850s.

In general, this is a fine earpiece. The Dp 3400 is a superb earpiece, available at a reasonably competitive value, with a cool, functional design and a great deal going for it. No, this isn’t a similar model the CIA use when guarding Mr. Obama, however it is not 100 million miles removed, either. This earpiece will do a great job, while simultaneously not breaking the bank.

Further than any thing has gone before

The Voyager Spacecraft, originally unleased in 1977, is finally ready to leave our solar system, based on leading specialists.

This years data established from the probe suggests that it’s presently at the very rim of the solar system, which puts it at some 18.5 Billion km from Earth. Because of the extraordinary distance, Voyager’s readings now take 17 hrs to arrive.

If the craft finally does depart our solar system, Voyager will be the first man made ship ever to do so.

In 2004, the craft reached an area of space recognized to scientists as a heliosheath. It is probable that this would be the ultimate point of the solar system, nevertheless it turned out not to be the case. Now, almost a decade later, the craft’s readings are suggesting that the fateful instant may lastly be drawing near.

Actually, the confirmation is so compelling that a few specialists have argued that Voyager is already past the bounds of the space. Professor Bill Weber of New Mexico State University thinks that, due to numerous changes in the craft’s readings (chiefly with regards cosmic ray intensity) Voyager has already left the solar system for pastures new.

“We’re in a brand new region. And all we’re measuring is different and exciting.” He said.

NASA scientist Dr. Ed Stone, who’s worked within the Voyager project since the very beginning, holds with the idea that the craft has yet to exit our solar system. “It is largely any day, however it is also quite a few more years” he says.

It is believed that Voyager cannot be thought to have left the sun’s field until it’s escaped our star’s magnetic influence. Dr. Stone believes that there’s still evidence of this effect in the craft’s readings.

It is estimated to take at the least several months before a definitive announcement is meant on the subject one way or the other.

What’s clear is that Voyager is closer to confines of our solar system than ever before.

“The edge could be somewhat turbulent. We just don’t know,” Dr Stone said. “That is exploration in the end”

The Voyager Spacecraft was designed to record data on the other planets in our solar system, before finally heading out into outer space itself. It complete its initial planetary survey in 1989 and may be drifting through space since then. Its plutonium energy resources will eventually die out in 10-15 years, after which era it will cease to transmit data and simply drift into the mysterious.

The Finest Motorola cp040 earpiece

Previously, we looked at an earpiece specifically made to work on the Motorola gp340 2 way radio series. Now, we’ll be looking at the Cp040 2-pin earpiece, an affordable and adaptable little doohickey that’s amazingly exciting, but also does little to break one’s deposit account.

The CP040 earpiece is much like the Motorola gp300 earpiece. It’s small, clever and cheap, however it also represents pretty good value for money. EarpieceOnline lists this earpiece for about £11.50, but it’s a reasonably good buy for the price.

We will be honest, everything is quite basic on that model, but the earpiece performs its operation well and certainly won’t let anybody down.

The noise quality of this Cp040 2-pin earpiece is superb indeed and also the PTT ‘push to talk’ utility is convenient and simple to use. As usual, the Motorola cp040 earpiece features a sprung metal clip that attaches simply to nearly all items of clothes (you may find it a problem if you’re planning on using it whilst dressed as a giant Sumo wrestler and competing on ‘Takeshi’s Castle’, but besides that…).

As with the motorola gp300 series, as it only includes a two-pin plug, an adaptor block will be required for use with the Motorola gp320 and Motorola gp340 series of 2 way radios.

The ergonomic D-shaped earpiece alone is comfortable to wear and mostly inconspicuous. It may be effortlessly used in either the left or right ear, depending on one’s own liking. The CP040 earpiece fits most ear dimensions, so if you happen to be Prince Charles or Martin Clunes (Editor’s Note: or my Uncle Alan), you shouldn’t have too many comfort issues, if any.

There is no Kevlar cable on this one, though and it definitely is not one of the best model around. Still, this is not to put the CP040 is a bad earpiece, not at all. It just is not the greatest.

Overall, the Cp040 2-pin earpiece is practical, instead of showy. It does its job with no frills (but additionally no temper tantrums). This is really a good, trustworthy product from a company that excels at producing such earpieces. It also offers great value for money, too.

Next episode: We have checked out some of those mid level products available, now its time to see what else is around. We’re talking James Bond stuff! (Well, you know, But if you are looking to learn more about this earpieces visit www.earpieceonline.co.uk

Wheels You Pinch: GTA V...Coming Soon!

That is correct people, folkettes and folking mother folkers, ‘Grand Theft Auto 5’ is arriving soon!

Developed as Rockstar’s biggest ‘open world’ game up to now, we are able to require this roguish misadventure to become Gigantic. If you happen to got the sprawling artificial worlds of Grand theft auto 4, GTA: San Andreas and Red Dead Redemption and slapped them all together, end to end, you would fit all of them inside the boundaries of GTA 5’s methodically made digital stage and also you’d still have space to spare. That is not just us talking either, that is an official announcement. Get this, even the ocean floor is fully mapped and explored.

There are three characters and you’ll manage to swap between them freely so they can discover various aspects in the story from changeable angles. When you decide which character to ‘be’ next, the camera pans out, (Google Earth style) and deposits you within the present location of the chosen avatar. Amazing.

Don’t worry though, there is a lot more than pretty, destroyable scenery and multiple narratives to keep the harder murderous characters at bay. Everything of GTA V is chock filled with autos, weapons and options to inflict misery upon unsuspecting civilians, if that transpires as your bag, anyhow. If you are not #in the# mood for chainsawing gullible people to death (if not, why not?) you are able to basically ‘flip them off’ and check out a variety of various pre-programmed movement that are gamer (and area) dependent.

Apart from that, the gameplay system has had a complete overhaul and Grand theft auto 5 “evolves almost every mechanic” according to ‘Game Informer’s Matt Bertz. The fight system is re-jigged and the aiming and shooting controls have been entirely re-designed.

Overall though, the overall feel and the tone of the title will not be experiencing any serious changes. You won’t be driving around delivering flowers or going to church on Sunday. You will be stealing automobiles and murdering citizens.

Many people. Probably in a very variety of nasty ways.

If you followed the series so far, then believe us, you will wish to be here for the next chapter.

On this respect, Grand theft auto 5 is about what Grand theft auto has always been about, complete and utter bloodshed. It’s a gangster film that stars you; enslaving, stunning and much more complex than ever before…

What are the most effective headphones for DJ"s?

DJ society has grown in the United kingdom in a massive way. Where once, skinny, greasy guys in ill-fitting leather jackets would try and impress ladies by saying “I’m from a band”, now those self same, slightly less blemished, guys, (now dressed in ill-fitting hoodies), try the “I’m a DJ” approach…Likely of the similar deficiency of accomplishment. But, for each lame duck wannabe with a turntable and a depressing stack of dog-eared 90’s Ibiza records, there are many individuals who can in fact do amazing things with a turntable. The time of the DJ is clearly and justly here!

A pair of Sony DJ Earphones can really help you make the transition (in the event you want to) from acne-ravaged performer to nightclub sensation. With Sony Earphones, you can go from ‘lord of the geeks’ to ‘god of the beats’ in one fell swoop. Possibly.

A great deal of precision and focus has gone into the manufacture of those Sony Headsets, that 1 imagines the engineer’s husbands and wives bringing legions of lovers into the house, just to try and gain the affection of their other halves. The engineers probably developed crippling drug addictions just to keep the stress sited upon them by Sony executives (who obviously required nothing less than complete perfection). In all probability, the engineers even had their hands choped off when the work was completed, in order to stop them from ever producing any headsets in future.

Unlike other headphones, Sony Headphones are manufactured with your art form in perspective and feature the most mind-blowing and revolutionary use of bass since your skeevy Uni housemate disappeared for more than a few days and was later on found wandering the streets of Croydon and claiming to become a 16th century Spaniard from the moon. Wonderful.

Utterly modern on the inside, but featuring a trendy retro looking outside, Sony Headsets are the last word in cool. You can wear ‘em on the street, or wear ‘em on the turntables and also you’ll look equally wonderful. The noise that blasts out of these audio system is crisper than Gary Lineker taking a tour of the Walkers factory and deeper than Barry White’s voice echoing across the Grand Canyon. Totally spectacular.

Additionally, feel free to use your Sony Headphones to listen to almost anything. True DJs are scholars of sound, after all, and this pair will realistically replicate anything from Vivaldi to Venom with 100% quality, purity and accuracy. Certainly, there’s in no way been a better pair of headsets for the contemporary DJ.
