A great mystery we cover this school yearinvolved Malaysian airline flight 370. It hasn’t been solved, the planes haven’tbeen found, no wreckage 1 has been recovered. Malaysian officials released satelliteinformation earlier this week, experts use this to conclude that the plane crashedsomewhere in the southern Indian ocean. The critics say there are some holes inthe data that is not completed, and the search itself has been put on hold.
Wednesday marks the last day for the bluefin? 21 that carry out on the water search for flight MH370. In the southern IndianOcean just around 1700 kilometers away from the western coast of Australia, andit’s now carrying out more than 20 missions of last week searching an area around40 kilometers at a time. But now that underwater search is going to meet quitea lengthy 2 polls longer than we were expecting while the Australian authorityand Malaysian and Chinese as well tend to a new contractor 3 for phase two, theywant to bring this to one step upward, they want a contractor to provideseveral underwater search vehicles size scan, they want to map out and cheekout a wider area in that 60,000 kilometers searching for any signs of theplane, any kind of debris 4 as well, all the black boxes which could lead to theanswers what exactly happen on the board, flight MH370.
This is a dangerous season for youngdrivers, triple A in the organization that promotes safety on the road says thehundred deadliest days for teenage drivers start on Memorial day. Chances of afailed crash are 26% higher now than they are in the rest of the year, so theyrelease a few tips for driving safely, one, drive only when you have somewhereto go. Just driving around for the heck of it could increase the risk of awreck. Two, spend some time driving with a parent, might not be as fun as withyour friend, but they have been driving for a long time and can explain how tohandle different situations. Also, the more friends you have in the car, themore likely you are to crash. Three, drive less at night, Triple A says morethan half of night crashes happen between 9:00pm and midnight.
George O’ will’s book 1984 was published in1949, all the husling brave new world,.1953.
They all are imaging what the world wouldbe like decades or hundreds of year in the future. Scientists are trying to dothat now, but with cities.
What if you could build the perfect cityfrom scratch, what would it look like? Around the globe, developers are tryingto answer those questions. In Sando South Korea, it’s 35 billion dollarspre-planned smart city that used its numetics tubes to transport trash. In D,master city is a 19 billion dollars to sustainable energy that will cycle 80%of its water and replacing cars with electrical pods. And in Japan, a 592million town called F that soon will have smart street lights with motionsensors that create an invisible security network, each house will also be solopowered and has the capability 5 to stay off after three days.
Many of this master projects like ? hasbeen government funded, but increasingly money is coming from commercial and privateorganizations.
A new base development firm called Ginternational is building S. F is funded by Panasonic, so far the answer ismixed. 32,000 have moved in S, F will only build 1000 homes. And M currently onlyhas a few thousand residents. To track more people, M has deliberately 6 calledthe Academics and Scientist timing 7? with MIT to build a satellite campus themasses or follow the brains. In each case, the custom build town seems to bemore laboratory than final product; you just try to look into the future to seewhat tomorrow’s generation will need. One thing seems clear; the world’s majorcities aren’t going anywhere. But these pop up cities may very likely show usmore how to live better.
