Fool or a drunk? The lorry went straight under the wheels of the train

It is impossible to believe that the driver of heavy-crossing the unequipped security means the railway crossing, saw the composition, which was from him literally in a matter of meters. Likewise, it is impossible to understand on what "Smile of Fortune" counted sitting at the "wheel of." The only reasonable explanation for the fact that the camera impassively filmed on mobile phones - this is the inadequate state of man in kabine.Mezhdu so only in the last year at level crossings of railways Russia occurred 226 vehicle collision with rolling stock. Of particular concern were 65 cases of collision of vehicles with passenger and commuter trains, in which was placed in jeopardy the lives of many thousands of passengers poezdov.Pri accidents at level crossings affected 206 people, including 82 deaths. The events of accidents at level crossings have a negative impact on the work of railways. For example, sharply increased the amount of damage of the rolling stock - 108 units. Full break in the movement of trains was more than 143 hours. Companies in material damage of more than $ 737 million rub.Vse cases of accidents at level crossings were the result of gross violations of traffic rules by drivers of motor sredstv.OAO "RZD" reiterates its serious concern at this situation and calls for drivers of vehicles to increased vigilance and strict observance Traffic Rules. The railway network operated by Russia 11 569 crossings, of which 2 344 is served by railway employees.

New update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard

After two and a few weeks after the release of the operating system, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, Apple released the first update to this program platformy.V of apdejta Mac OS X 10.6.1 includes fixes bugs and the latest version of Adobe Flash Player plug-in with an index 10.0.32.18 . As noted, the player eliminated several dangerous vulnerabilities, some of which can theoretically be used to gain unauthorized access to the remote computer and the subsequent execution of arbitrary operations on it. To organize the attack should compel the user to visit a specially formed Web stranitsu.Obnovlenie contains additions that improve compatibility with some models of printers and 3G-modems Sierra Wireless. An error also caused it to suddenly stop, play DVD, corrected flaws in the e-mail client and pr.Zagruzit update of Mac OS X 10.6.1 can be either through the built-in operating system update tool or through the site Apple.Operatsionnaya system Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard went on sale on August 28.

With Alice in Chains back after 14 years

Legendary grandzhery released the first video in 10 years. They became the video for the song "Check My Brain" from the upcoming album "Black Gives Way To Blue". Video was the first for a new vocalist Alice in Chains William Dyuvalya.Rezhisserom this creation became Alex Cortez, known for his work with U2 and The White Stripes. The last time Alice in Chains released a clip in 1999 with former vocalist and a founding member of Lane Staley, who died in 2002 from an overdose narkotikov.Albom "Black Gives Way To Blue", which is scheduled for release on September 29, will become Alice in Chains the first studio work for the past 14 years.

Scientists have managed to get the mouse to levitate

A group of scientists from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of Missouri at Kansas City (USA) managed to get the mouse to levitate using superconducting magnit.Sleduet note that similar experiments have been conducted on frogs, but to repeat these experiments with mammals previously nobody udavalos.Neobhodimye for levitation object of study conditions are created by its location in a strong external magnetic field. It is known that water is present in every living organism possesses diamagnetic properties: the action of an external magnetic field parameters of the motion of electrons in its molecules change slightly, resulting in a weak magnetic field directed opposite to the original. The resultant effect of repulsion overcomes the force tyazhesti.V their experiments the authors used a superconducting solenoid, cooled to cryogenic temperatures, with passage of current in the winding of the magnetic field with an induction of about 17 tesla. In the gap of the magnet diameter of 66 mm was maintained rooms temperatura.Snachala scientists placed a plastic cage in the gap, and then ran into her three-week old mice weighing only 10 г. animals were disoriented and started to spin, trying to find some support. "It seems that the mouse is not too pleased that a new state - said one of the authors of Qian Liu (Yuanming Liu). - She hit the cage and tried for something to grasp. However, subsequent experiments showed that after 3-4 hours of mouse accustomed to such conditions and levitiruya, calmly eating and pyut.Issledovateli propose to use these experiments to study the effects of microgravity on living organisms and the liquid (in a separate series of experiments, the authors observed levitating droplets water up to 50 mm in diameter). Professionals will also have to figure out how to affect long-term stay in such a strong magnetic field on the health of mice, earlier studies have shown that in rats the field with induction 9.4 T does not pose any danger.
