Amazing Balancing Rock

Amazing Balancing Rock

Krishna’s Butterball is a giant natural rock perched on a hillside, seemingly in defiance of all laws of physics—it’s a common sight to see visitors placing hands under the stone posing for pics, which looks as though they are holding it! The rock provides welcome shade if you dare to sit underneath it, and local kids have discovered that the slippery nearby hillside also makes a great natural slide.


Krishna’s Butter Ball, Mamallapuram, India

Krishna’s Butterball is enormous; a granite, glacial erratic, precariously perched on a stone escarpment and visited by thousands of people every year. People play with the stone, pushing and touching it in the hope of sending it sliding down the rock face. We can also see children travelling down the escarpment on a natural slide, made smooth by years of playing with this natural stone phenomenon.

Enjoy!

Her blonde curls swung around her face as the 21-year-old model floated in space – in conditions perfected to allow astronauts to train for their missions.

Video showed Kate attempting to keep her curves inside her tiny swimsuit as she twisted and turned, while assistants threw accessories her way.

Water droplets floated around her face as she smiled for the camera.

With a hair stylist to keep her locks under control, make-up artist, photographers, videographers and editors all onboard, there was a crowd watching as grinning Kate proved ever the professional.

The FingerReader

The FingerReader

The FingerReader is a ring that reads for you. It actually reads aloud when you point at words and can even translate books. The device, developed by MIT Media Lab’s Fluid Interfaces group, is still in its development stage. Eventually the FingerReader might be able to replace braille and could be used as a translation device that allows people to learn a new language.


FingerReader – Wearable Text-Reading Device

The FingerReader is a wearable device that assists in reading printed text. It is a tool both for visually impaired people that require help with accessing printed text, as well as an aid for language translation. Wearers scan a text line with their finger and receive an audio feedback of the words and a haptic feedback of the layout: start and end of line, new line, and other cues. The FingerReader algorithm knows to detect and give feedback when the user veers away from the baseline of the text, and helps them maintain a straight scanning motion within the line.
