Localitatea Wagah a fost impartita in doua de frontiera dintre India si Pakistan, asemenea Berlinului, jumatate in Pakistan, jumatate in India. Acesta este singurul punct de frontiera aflat pe un drum intre cele doua tari. Mii de oameni sunt prezenti in fiecare seara pentru a asista la coborarea drapelurilor si ceremonialul inchiderii frontierei.
Poate multi dintre voi stiati acest lucru, ceremonia din imaginile de mai jos se intampla zilnic insa fiti atenti la modul in care “se exprima” soldatii.
Guvernul indian a inceput separarea teritoriului sau de cel al Pakistanului printr-o zona militarizata si delimitata de garduri cu sarma ghimpata, inca din 2003, pentru a preveni contrabanda ai traficul de arme.
Update: Iar aici puteti sa admirati granita dintre Pakistan si India, vazuta din spatiu, pe timpul noptii din Statia Spatiala Internationala (Nasa).

Ross Technology Corp. needed a better way to reduce corrosion on the steel products. When they couldn’t find a suitable one, they worked on creating something on their own. And eventually they hit upon a slick product that’s led to a whole new business. That product is NeverWet, a silicon-based spray-on coating that repels water and heavy oils. http://articles.lancasteronline.com/local/4/438712
Ross Technology Corp. – o firma americana de renume – incearca sa gasesca o solutie pentru a reduce procesul de coroziune asupra produselor din otel pe care le fabrica. Negasind pana acum ceva util pe piata s-au hotarat sa inventeze o substanta care sa aiba proprietatile respective. Rezultatul?
NeverWet (tradus “niciodata ud”) – o substanta pe baza de silicon care poate fi aplicata pe suprafetele metalice dar si pe cele vestimentare, suprafata tratata comportandu-se surprinzator de bine la contactul cu apa sau cu uleiurile grele.
Acum stiu ce vreu sa-mi aduca Mos Craciun, o lada de NeverWet. 😀
Update: Din cate am ineteles, NeverWet nu este disponibil spre vanzare publicului larg (presupun ca se afla inca in teste) insa va fi disponibil la inceputul anu;ui 2012 (de aici)

Garrett McNamara breaks the world record for the largest wave ever surfed.
Cred ca cea mai potrivita descriere pentru curajul de care da dovada surferul din imaginile de mai jos vine de la un comentariu de pe Youtube: “that guy must have ultra-large underpants to contain his balls”.
Un nou record mondial:

Despre Damien Walters v-am mai povestit si prin 2009 atunci cand il comparam cu Superman. Cert este ca acest fost gimnast (a participat la Jocurile Olimpice), specialist in sarituri si arte martiale, ne demonstreaza inca o data ca este un tip absolut fenomenal.
Professional stuntman, gymnastics coach and free runner Damien Walters returns with his annual video: Damien Walters 2011 Showreel.
Here Damien showcases his latest stunts, flips and tricks in true creative fashion.
Cand vine vorba de Damien Walters trebuie sa spunem doar atat: Superman. Sa ne asezam confortabil in fotolii si sa urmarim impreuna materialul din 2011 – ajuns la peste 1 milion de vizionari in doar cateva zile de la lansare:
