Tallest Man in The World

http://www.worldsmostunique.com/images/images/tallest-man_jpg.jpg

Recognized as the tallest living man in the world at present, Bao Xishun is a Mongolian herdsman of world acclaim. He is recognized as being the worlds tallest man by the Guinness Book of World Records and is 7 feet 9 inches, or 2.36m tall. The title of being the worlds tallest man has had to pass through some rough patches in the last few months.

Bao’s title of being the worlds tallest man was conceded to Leonid Stadnyk, a Ukrainian by nationality, but was returned back to him earlier this year after Stadnyk refused to be measured by the Guinness authorities according to their rules and regulations. Xishun, born in 1951, is said to have measured 236 cm in a hospital at the Chifeng city in China. Two other people, both from Asia- Ajaz Ahmed and Vikas Uppal, have claimed to be over 8 feet tall, but neither of them has been able to prove their claims according to the format laid down by the Guinness Book of World records.
Bao is supposed to have grown at a normal pace till he was 16 years old, after which he experienced this sudden surge in size and ended up with his present height of 7 feet 9 inches just seven years later, at the age of 23. Bao later served the Liberation Army for a span of three years and also played in the army basketball team. After serving the army for a span of more than three years, the worlds tallest man started complaining of rheumatism and related problems, which is attributed to his sleeping in the outdoors during his childhood, rather than being unconventionally tall.

The worlds tallest man is a celebrated man all over the world. His wedding is supposed to be a famous one for his small, rather sleepy hometown. The wedding was supposedly sponsored by a dozen companies and the guests were invited from all over the world. Bao also holds quite a number of endorsement deals with companies, and spends most of his time promoting these products all over China.

Bao’s story of becoming the worlds tallest man is a rather fascinating one. When he had retired himself out of the Liberation army, after feeling the pain associated with rheumatism, Bao took quite some time to find a new job. He was offered the job of a ‘greeter’ at a local restaurant. This is where Bao came in solemn contact with a lot of people, some of whom were associated with the media and therefore, gave him the attention he had always desired and deserved.
Bao became an instant success with the media and was very popular in his own nation. It was the local media only that is believed to have applied to the Guinness Book of World records on Bao’s behalf to nominate him for being the worlds tallest man. He was measured to be taller than the previous record holder Radhuaone Charbib by about 2mm, and thus, at the age of 40, Bao was officially entitled as being the worlds tallest man.

Bao has been known as a kind man all over the world. One of the most famous incidents that have earned Bao the reputation of being a kind hearted person is when Bao saved the lives of two Dolphins in 2006. The dolphins are believed to swallowed plastic shards by mistake, which had led to a sudden deterioration of health. When the veterinarians had failed to remove those shards from the dolphins’ stomachs, Bao was called upon to help remove them. The worlds tallest man, with his 1.06m long arm helped in removing those plastic shards right from within the stomachs of the dolphins.

Everything that Bao has done in his life has been a much discussed affair, especially after he got listed in the Guinness Book of World records as the worlds tallest man. His marriage to a saleswoman belonging to the town of Chifeng-which also happens to be Bao’s own hometown-was largely discussed in the local media, especially owing to the fact that his wife was literally half his age and size.

There have been a lot of apprehensions about Bao and his life, but one thing has clearly stood up- that Bao is a true gentleman, who loves to enjoy the status of being the worlds tallest man.

Fastest Computer in the World

http://www.worldsmostunique.com/images/images/worlds-fastest-computer_jpg.jpg

On the dawn of 25 May 2008, IBM unveiled their gentle giant- the ‘roadrunner’. Do not mistake it with the cute little cartoon character that your children enjoy watching on TV, the roadrunner is actually the worlds fastest computer at present, and it is capable of processing 1.7 petaflops. On May 25th, the computer had achieved 1.06 petaflops, making it the worlds fastest computer. This lean and hungry machine is not a child’s toy and it is priced at an eye-popping amount of $133 million.

Built by IBM at the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico, this is truly a one of its kind supercomputer, primarily because of the fact that this machine is built mostly on commodity parts, available off the shelf at any hardware store. The worlds fastest computer boasts of some great design techniques, which have made it one of the marvels of modern engineering and computer architecture.

Built for the National nuclear security administration department, this computer has 12,960 IBM powerXcell 8i CPUs in conglomeration with 6,480 AMD opteron microprocessor systems. These systems are connected via a new technique of CPU-Processor connection, known as the infiniband, using blade server architecture. Running on Fedora and Red hat enterprise editions, the worlds fastest computer is as easy to work with as any other computing device. Designed to predict the vulnerability and the safety of America’s ageing nuclear weapons, the worlds fastest computer computes the reaction of nuclear components and ingredients as time progresses. The roadrunner is a massive machine, and occupies almost 550 square meters of space.

The main area where the worlds fasts computer differs from a lot of other super computers is the fact that it uses a combination of two architectures wherein each AMD 64 opteron processor is combined in a hybrid architecture with a ‘cell’, manufactured by IBM using its patented ‘power architecture’ technology.

The building process of the roadrunner was divided into three broad phases. The first phase was concerned with the development of a cluster, on a smaller scale, of the AMD 64- Cell combination and to check its feasibility on a larger scale. The second phase was primarily concerned with building a prototype using the clusters developed in the first phase. The third phase was dedicated to reach a peak performance, which was aimed to be measured in petaflops. Additional clusters, architectural enhancements and some additional powerXcell systems were arranged in order to breach the petaflops limit. Thus the worlds fastest computer was born on May 25th, 2008.

Containing two different kinds of processors, one being for calculations and the other for performing normal computer functions (such as bootstrapping, process scheduling and memory management), the worlds fastest computer is an architectural marvel. The two cores of computations in the worlds fastest computer are the AMD opteron and the IBM powerXcell. While the Opteron runs at 1.8 GHz, the PowerXcell runs at 3.2 GHz. The roadrunner utilizes a total of 122,400 cores, with roughly 6,000 coming from the Opteron and the rest coming from the PowerXcell.

The computational unit of the roadrunner is the ‘triblade’, which consists of two dual core opterons with 16 GB of RAM and four powerXcells, containing their own additional 16 GB of RAM. The complete CU or the computational unit is the main unit of computation in the roadrunner and consists of 180 such triblades, with each of these triblades connected to a 288 port Voltaire infiband switch. The Panasas file system is implemented through twelve system servers. Each triblade, therefore, has to pass though one of these servers to access the Panasas files system.

The overall structure which emerges out as the complete roadrunner model consists of eighteen CUs, or connected units, which are connected through a second infiniband switch. The whole architecture is a mammoth structure and is testimony to the huge computing potential of the worlds fastest computer, setting it far apart from the rest of the competition.

Strength athletics also known as strongman competitions have been popular from earlier days when Greeks and Romans used to rule the world. The world has always been fascinated to see the extreme capabilities of a human being, which is why we want to see and love to get more information about the worlds strongest man. In the earlier days too, Kings and Emperors were fond of keeping sports which tests the strength of competitors in different ways. These competitors had to go through a variety of physical endurance test to claim that they are entitled to become worlds strongest man. There were virtually no rules to such games and events except that every competitor has to go through different sports so that he does not have any advantage and that people can surely call him the worlds strongest man.

However, it was in 1977 that the official competition for worlds strongest man was broadcast for the first time by Langstar Inc. And there were several contests and events like that which gradually came up on the TV where people from all walks of life participated to claim that they were the worlds strongest man. Of course, these different contests had their own rules and criteria’s for their athletes who would eventually test them to their limits and endurance power. Gradually, with more media and publicity this sport of strength athletics started becoming popular around the world where people loved to watch human beings with unimaginable strength who are fighting for the worlds strongest man title.

One of the earlier shows that showed the worlds strongest man is still successfully running and earlier it was owned by CBS, but later the rights were sold to BBC and now TWI has the rights for that show and if you are crazy about watching some unique sports on TV, then the worlds strongest man show is a complete entertainment for muscle maniacs around the globe. Basically, there are number of events in the show in order to prevent any kind of favoring certain types of competitors, hence, every competitor has to go through gruesome events even if they are not happy about it. The events for worlds strongest man are absolutely real and many people even flock to see these events in person as they love to witness something unique that they could never imagine doing themselves.

Though every show has their own events and rules, the events are similar, like a load race where the competitors will have to load heavy objects probably weighing 360 lbs onto a truck bed or a platform that will be at a distance of 50 feet. Other events are truck or airplane pull, where competitors for worlds strongest man try to pull a truck or an airplane by their hands as fast as they can. The distance is normally 100 feet, but at times sponsors prefer to keep it a little longer to attract more attention of the people. There are other events like crucifix, pole pushing, tug-of-war which is normally an elimination round, log throw where competitors throw a heavy log for a distance or for height over a bar, and keg toss.

One of the most unique feature about this worlds strongest man show is that the events are not similar like other sports that we normally see everyday on TV, they are absolutely different and takes real strength to practice and perform them, which is why many TV channels do advice that these should not be tried at home by kids or adults, unless they are under expert supervision or are trained.

Every year there are a few changes of events as some new events are added or modified to make sure competitors do not get any advantage and the safety of the competitors is not compromised. However, there are few events that are always there like squats, dead lift, Hercules hold and Atlas Stone. Hercules Hold is an event where the competitors stand between two hinged pillars and prevent them from falling outwards. Similarly Atlas Stone where five stones of increasing weight has to be placed on top of the podium. Normally, Atlas Stone is the final event in the competition but for security reasons this event is occurring less in recent years.

The Amazing And Unique Ways In The World

List of the most unique and amazing way and road in the world

1.Steepest Street,New Zealand
It is the world's steepest street

2.Savoy Court,Inggris
the only way, in the UK which require motorists to walk on the right.

3.The Magic Roundabout,England
square worst in the world Built in 1972 and the other consists of 5 small roundabouts. To make things worse, you have to travel anti-clockwise (the opposite of the usual British roundabouts situation), when you enter the center of a small roundabout. Swindon Junction who had voted the worst intersection in the UK.

4.Lombard Street,United States
most devious way in the world

5.9 de Julio Avenue,Argentina
World's most extensive road

6.Road To Giza,Mesir
Oldest asphalt road in the world

7.Parliament Street,Inggris
Claim: At least a narrow street in the world
This was a narrow street in the world with the size of 0.64 meters

8.Pan-American Highway,The Americas
Claim: the world's longest road
with a length of 48,000 kilometers (29,800 miles) and over 15 countries including the United States, Canada, mexico, peru, argentina and deliver elsalvador this road becomes the world's longest road

9.Ebenezer Place,Skotlandia
Claim: Most short-Road world
measures just 2.06 meters (6.8 feet). There is only one house on this road, built in 1883. The building is a hotel (Mackays) and the owner has been instructed to paint a road on the side. He was officially declared the streets in 1887.

10.Gravity Hill,Various Locations
Claim: The Road opposed laws of Physics
When you park your car at the foot of the hill (sometimes referred to as magnetic hills or hill Mystery), the car will appear to roll uphill - not down. The reason this is an optical illusion caused by the surrounding environment. If you are interested to visit the gravity hill, Wikipedia has a list and locations around the world.
