Indian teen set to break the guiness book of records;built the lightest satellite ever. NASA launching it in June




 18-year-old, Rifath Shaarook is no typical teen. While most boys his age are busy on the internet ‘googling’ stuff like ‘how to get a girlfriend’ alongside some nasty things in their browser history. Shaarook is busy doing ‘adult’ stuff, and not the x-rated kind. He is busy doing genius stuff, and now, he has possibly broken the Guinness Book of Records for having developed the lightest satellite in history.


The Indian teen has developed a satellite weighing just 64 grams (0.14 lb), and NASA is set to launch it into space come June this year. Shaarook became the winner in a youth design competition, and his satellite is set to go on a four-hour mission for a suborbital flight. During that flight, this lightweight satellite will operate for about 12 minutes within a microgravity environment in space.

Shaarook says his primary goal was to demonstrate the performance and limits of 3D printed carbon fiber. “We designed it completely from scratch. It will have a new kind of onboard computer and eight indigenous built-in sensors to measure acceleration, rotation, and the magnetosphere of the Earth.”
Shaarook christened his satellite KalamSat, after the former India President Abdul Kalam, who is said to have pioneered the first aeronautical science ambitions for the country. Sharook entered the Cubes in Space challenge that was organized by education company idoodle in partnership with NASA and the Colorado Space Grant Consortium.
Shaarook comes from the little town of Tamil Nadu, and thanks to his creation, he now works as a lead scientist at the Chennai-based Space Kidz India; a science and education facility for teens and kids in India.
Shaarook says that the KalamSat is not his first invention, at the age of 15, he came up with a helium weather balloon in a national competition for young scientists.

Burning Man Erection Contests Where A mans Erectile resilience (Stiffy) is Tested.

Image
"The first boner to rise gets the prize," says Brad McCray at the start of the event. McCray is a beast of a man who leads the Burning Man theme camp Slut Garden with his wife of 10 years, Tammy. In front of him, five men stand exposed from the waist down with their scantily clad female partners dancing around them, encircled by a cheering, dust-covered crowd of hundreds. Every man is trying to produce an erection as fast as he can without touching himself. Their partners can encourage the sexletes but not by using their hands. This is the Speed Boner challenge, the finale to McCray's fourth annual Slut Olympics. Other events include Deep Throat (a pretty self-explanatory contest that involves a 13-inch dildo), Guess-A-Willy (a blindfolded woman has to identify her partner's penis out of a lineup of naked men), and a Best Balls beauty contest. Speed Boner is still the biggest draw. For seven days, a patch of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada becomes t...

Revealed! Yvonne Nelson Speaks on lesbian Rumours.

’I like Jim Iyke because he is a hot guy’ By Ekerete Udoh My interview with top Ghanaian actress – Yvonne Nelson-was a revelation in so many ways. Of the leading Nollywood stars, Yvonne is among those I had not had a close relationship with. I had watched her from afar, seen countless number of her movies and had always thought she was a great and talented actress – someone who combined poise, beauty and style. I had also heard of some unsavory things ascribed to her – the rumors of sexual orientation which some say verged between pure lesbianism and bi-sexualism – all manner of shenanigans that had been whispered and published about her. Some years ago, she came out with a movie, “Heart of Men”, in which she seemed to have appeared in frontal nudity– a development that set off a firestorm of protest among Nollywood lovers –with many condemning the exploitation of graphic sexual images to promote and sell movies – which was a deviation of what Nollywood had alway...

The movement: states as its mission 'As long as men are allowed to be topless in public, women should have the same constitutional right.

The following cities are officially topless "tested...
