The World’s Largest Cave passage was discovered deep within a remote Vietnamese Jungle. The Son Doong Cave measures 262 feet by 262 feet (80 meters by 80 meters) and at least 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) deep, making it the largest single cave passage ever discovered, according to National Geographic News, where the discovery was announced.
The previous record holder, Deer Cave in Malaysia, is 300 feet by 300 feet (91 m by 91 m) in parts, but is only about a mile (1.6 km) long.
Good day and have a nice drink today to reward yourself for the hard work. CHEERS

Drinker's Favourite Drink ????
VODKA
Good to know: Vodka is least likely to give you a hangover Vodka is made by fermenting grains or crops such as potatoes with yeast. It's then purified and repeatedly filtered, often through charcoal, strange as it sounds, until it's as clear as possible.
CALORIES: Because vodka contains no carbohydrates or sugars, it contains only calories from ethanol (around 7 calories per gram), making it the least-fattening alcoholic beverage. So a 35ml shot of vodka would contain about 72 calories.
PROS: Vodka is the 'cleanest' alcoholic beverage because it contains hardly any 'congeners' - impurities normally formed during fermentation. These play a big part in how bad your hangover is.
Despite its high alcohol content - around 40 per cent - vodka is the least likely alcoholic drink to leave you with a hangover, said a study by the British Medical Association
CONS: Vodka is often a factor in binge drinking deaths because it is relatively tasteless when mixed with fruit juices or other drinks.
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 3/10
Whisky 'madness': It triggers erratic and unpredictable behaviour because most people drink whisky neat CALORIES: About 80 calories per 35ml shot.
Whisky also contains lots of congeners, which tend to form during the ageing process in oak casks.
A study by the BMA found that as a result, Bourbon Whiskey is twice as likely to cause a hangover as the same amount of vodka.
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 8/10
CONS: It's the sulphites formed naturally or added to white wine as preservatives to stop it going brown which are the most likely cause of the 'white wine hangover' many people complain of.
Sulphites also carry the risk of an allergic reaction which can worsen symptoms such as a headache, or asthma . White wines also wear away tooth enamel faster, making teeth more sensitive.
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 6/10
RED WINE
Good to know: Red wine is made from fermented grape juice - but unlike white wine, with the skin and pips included. It's then left to mature for a minimum of three years, during which pigments from the skins leech out and colour the wine red.
CALORIES: Around 120 calories in a standard glass - it's slightly lower in sugar content than white wine.
PROS: Contains more reservatrol - a plant anti- oxidant - than white wine. This helps to prevent blood clots and reduce inflammation, which is now considered to play a key role in heart disease. Also, the pips and skins used in red wines contain tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol, chemicals which help lower artery-clogging LDL cholesterol.
CONS: Red wine drinkers can get worse hangovers than beer or white wine drinkers. Because of the way it's made, red wine produces two types of alcohol - ethanol and methanol. The liver processes the ethanol part of the drink first and leaves methanol until last. 'As a result, it's likely to be floating around in the body for a lot longer than ethanol, giving you that familiar "morning after" feeling,' says Professor Jones.
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 7/10
Good to know: Fast acting: Champagne
Champagne and sparkling wine are made in roughly the same way as wine - but then more yeast is added and it's left to ferment in the bottle a second time, producing carbon dioxide.
CALORIES: An average 175 ml glass of Champagne contains 133 calories, slightly more than a glass of white wine because syrup is added to improve taste.
PROS: The antioxidants in Champagne may help protect your brain against damage incurred during a stroke and against neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, according to a team of researchers from the University of Reading . They found that high levels antioxidants, called caffeic acid and tyrosol, helped protect brain cells from damage.
CONS: The bubbles speed up the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. And contrary to popular belief, Champagne won't lift your spirits - alcohol affects brain receptors in the same way, whatever its source.
'Alcohol basically works in the same way in the brain receptors as Valium,' says Professor Jones. 'It depresses brain activity and relieves anxiety. You might think you're in a good mood, but it's more likely the result of alcohol causing "disinhibition", making you more talkative and exhibitionist.'

This frog was found in India in 2003. This type of creature has never been discovered on any continent until 2003. This frog lives in southern India within a 14 km² radius. Scientists are lost: some believe that this creature is a mutant; others believe that it dates back to the dinosaur era...
You will be able to program a robot to follow a track on the ground and manipulate a hand. You can also write little programs that will give the robots goals.
Seriously, the best thing about machines or ‘a’ machine that is, would be if they could perform just about any task on their own, I mean where you don’t even have to press a button. They would walk on their own, talk on their own and what not. Such machines have been created time and time again and of course are called robots. But amongst such robotic machines, there have been such ‘robot celebrities’ which are known and are famous (to date) for their characters, and their names are their identity.
Here are 5 of the most famous robots of all times…
Robocop
Its name tells all. Robocop is one of the most famous robots of all times. It was introduced to the world in the year 1987. Its idea had first occurred to Paul Verhoeven who made sure the concept in his mind was clear to its constructor. This robot was meant to be really tough and mean. Robocop was everything you can expect from a normal robot. Because it consisted of oil coolers, radiators and heat exchangers, everything you will find on that robot only that you should know where to look. But what made it the most famous in the world was its unique attributes! Its core arms are three 20mm cannons, two on the left limb and one on the right upper limb. The left arm contains two peripheral high-capacity missiles magazines and the right arm which snapped into place when the guns are armed. It also used its gun shell to position down and shift upward again to uppercut its foes as it did. But that was not all about it. It also consisted of a three-round rocket launcher on its right arm and twin launchers for mortar rounds and gas grenades behind its head. Its body was real steel! Thus, this one of a kind, stylish and most elegant master piece was loaded with handy weapons from assault cannon, rocket launcher and a jet pack.
Terminator
Now here is what you call, the star of all robots, ‘the Terminator’. Like its name, at its launch, it simply finished off all other robots or robotic concepts for a long long time. The terminator is a self-directed robot, characteristically humanoid. It was basically formulated as a practically resilient combatant and assassin, as well as an undercover agent. Its design was such that it could converse in nature; duplicate others’ voices, interpret scripts, and even genuinely sweat, smell, and bleed. For Terminator detections, dogs were used to alert humans of their presence. A Terminator can bear up average 20th century firearms, smash through walls unharmed, and endure blasts to some degree. There is just constant shotgun firing can knock it down and momentarily immobilize it.
Robot Andrew
More famous as the ‘Bicentennial Man’, Andrew was a humanoid military robot. It was not any soldier, or an armed or a fully equipped robot. It was just a robot, but like a human, with human feelings. Perhaps that is why it was most popular among every age group. It was built with a vision, that a robot may not harm a human. It was meant to obey human beings, whatever order they may give. But it was also to protect itself. This protection of itself and not even harming the humans was the conflicting element. That is how Andrew, being a humanoid robot requested a robotic surgeon to get upgraded. Getting itself upgraded meant getting into a perfect shape, getting extra gadgets, accessories and the positron brain altered. Its stress was to get protective clothing under pragmatic surroundings. It got itself a very nicely finished plastic and metals’ body. Built into the head were electronic servos for the eye lids and eye brows to be able to move for expressions. Andrew, with his new body, studied robotic-biology – the science of organic robots. Thus, Andrew gets a system permitting androids to eat food like humans – solely for the purpose of becoming more like a person.
Robot B9
Marvin the Paranoid Android
This one is one of my favorites, and definitely the most interesting one. Marvin, the robot claimed to be 50,000 times more intellectual and intelligent than a human. Why?! Because it had a “brain of the size of a planet” which it seldom had to use or ever given a chance to use. One can define Marvin as a robot; as a perfunctory apparatus designed to do the work of a man. Scientific personalities call it as ‘Your Plastic Pal Who’s Fun to Be With.’ Although, there is one resilient rule which states that a depressed Marvin could never be destroyed. The only thing that could ever shut him up was probably the steel jaws of a crusher machine coming together on its shiny metal head. Marvin’s main goals in life were to stay depressed and, more importantly, to make everyone around know it, and no doubt to make them depressed too. The effect was a laugh uprising, of course! He was too funny to be in his persistent mood of moaning and groaning and talking to mattresses while walking around them. Marvin was basically a comic relief. Marvin was a slave, a lapdog, a master piece to be fluent in over six million forms of communication and yet convey depression in all of themJ.
This is an example of a people who are in tune with communal celebration of life. A life of struggle and oppression leading to depression with nothing left but god's blessing to be alive and to share their gift of colors, sounds and beauty giving to them by the high creator. A joy that only comes from the intangible spirit
