K2, also known as Mount Godwin-Austen, is the second-highest mountain in the world after Mount Everest. It stands at an elevation of 8,611 meters (28,251 feet) above sea level and is located on the border between Pakistan and China, in the Karakoram Range of the Himalayas. K2 is renowned for its difficulty and is often referred to as the "Savage Mountain" due to the extreme challenges it poses to climbers. The mountain has a steep, exposed, and icy terrain, making it more technically demanding than Everest. The weather on K2 is notoriously unpredictable, with high winds and heavy snowfalls contributing to its high fatality rate among climbers. Despite these dangers, K2 remains one of the most sought-after peaks for mountaineers around the world.

The highest cost per mile toll road or pathway on the planet is on the side of Mount Everest; passage through the khumbu ice fall (glacier) runs $600.00 per traveler. If we just round it off and call it 600.00 per mile... or $1.00 for every 8ft 9in (2.6 meters)

TOPPLING OF I-GIRDERS IN SOUTH KOREA It was 4.28 pm on 30th April 2024, when all nine girders of a span broken and toppled down one after another in SIHEUNG, GYEONGGI, SOUTH KOREA, which is the highest number in the history of toppling. As per posted video, 9th girder broken and came down due to tilting outside. Once it broken, it swung and hit 8th girder which tilted towards 7th girder. Then after, all girders except 1st girder hit their adjacent girder and finally all nine girders broken and toppled within 10 seconds. It was a miracle when two workers saved by no other than God. What was the reason for tilting of 9th girders can only be guessed. It may be due to bearing issue or some object was there of pedestal for tilting of 9th I-girder. Once 9th girder started tilting, loosening/ lowering should have stopped and reasons must have found out to avoid this major incidence. Side supports seen in the video are not adequate otherwise, only 9th girders could be toppled and 8 would be intact. Wherever, toppling happens, in-adequate support is found to be one of the reasons. Sequence can be understood with attached pictorial view. One can understand the pain of bridge engineers, so please don’t save money during providing side supports which may cost more if toppled. SAFETY FIRST PLEASE

Estate Agents charging 5% ‼️ Did you know that the world of racehorse sales still operates on a currency system from the past? The guinea, an old English gold coin first minted in the 17th century, remains today as the standard unit of trade in this elite sphere. Named after the Guinea region of Africa, where much of the gold originated, a guinea was valued at 21 shillings, or £1.05 in today's currency. While the guinea itself has long since faded from regular use, it endures in the sale of luxury items, particularly racehorses, as a symbol of aristocratic heritage. However this tradition isn't just about preserving a historical quirk. The pricing in guineas incorporates the auctioneer's commission directly into the sale price, for every pound sold, the additional 5 pence (reflecting the old 21 Shilling value of a guinea) serves as the auction house's fee. This solution seamlessly integrates a 5% commission into transactions, ensuring transparency and efficiency in the high-stakes world of horse auctions. This got me thinking... Could the property industry benefit from a similar model? Such a move might enhance the perceived value of the services offered, echoing the prestige and tradition of the horse auction world. I guess initially it's getting over the first hurdle (no pun intended 😂) #guinea | #property | #racehorse | #estateagent | #sales | #business | #facts | #history

Here's why Canada's largest rocketry competition is choosing City of Timmins and Mattagami First Nation for its launch pad: Timmins is one of the rare accessible places in North America to allow rocket launching. Most sites are very remote or not easily accessible, like the high arctic and the desert, or are densely populated. Our Timmins Victor M. Power Airport makes transportation a breeze. Participants from across Canada can travel and ship their gear with ease on a direct or a connecting flight from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport or Toronto Pearson International Airport. Our mining supply and services sector is impressively equipped to back the rocketry competition. Participants have pointed out how well it handles their needs, from compressed natural gas to generators and more. Our tourism and hospitality sector can accommodate the influx of hundreds of visitors, and our diverse culinary offerings provide competitors with plenty of meal options. Let Launch Canada know you're attending: https://fb.me/e/24Y9pQNgw #EconomicDevelopment #CommunityDevelopment #BusinessDevelopment #STEM

As our Olympians return home from Paris, our winners bring home with them an extra piece of metal this year - a piece of the Eiffel Tower! Scrap metal left over from renovations and repairs since it’s construction in 1889 were embedded into each of the 5,084 Olympic medals this year. 🥇 Here’s an even more surprising fact; the gold medals aren’t entirely made of gold. They are composed of almost 99% silver! 🇦🇺 All the essential metals that go into crafting the Olympic medals - #gold, #silver, #copper, #zinc, and #tin - can be sourced right here in South Australia. ⛏️ Our own 'Olympic Dam’ mine is one of the world's most significant deposits of copper and gold, named after a nearby livestock watering dam that was built during the 1956 Australian Olympic games. While our metals may not have ended up on the podium, they play a crucial role in the global economy.
