SHARK PIG FISH A day at sea for a group of Italian sailors has resulted in the discovery of an unusual fish that resembles the body of a shark crossed with the face of a pig. The strangelooking creature was found floating on the water by crewmen of a naval vessel in the Darsena Medicea on the Italian island of Elba. It was confirmed the animal was an ‘angular roughshark’ or Oxynotus centrina which tend to live 700 metres below the waves of the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Often referred to as a ‘pig-faced shark’, the animal is currently listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Yuri Tiberto, from the Elba Aquarium, explained, “It is commonly called a ‘pig fish’ because when…

Nintendo Switch (OLED) The Nintendo Switch really is a brilliant gaming console and home to some of the best games we’ve seen in years. But it’s been out for a few years now, so the company as seen fit to upgrade it. The new version is called Nintendo Switch (OLED). It costs AU$539.95, which is around 15% more than the standard Switch model. It’s important to note this is not a Nintendo Switch Pro model. It doesn’t feature a leap in internal power to help it better compete with the visuals of the PS5 or XSX. And while it’s ever so slightly longer and heavier (390g to 420g), it more-or-less takes up the same space. What you do get is a bigger and more vibrant screen thanks to the new…

The higher you go up, the stronger the wind is, so it’s important that tall towers are designed carefully. Skyscrapers use lots of different features to stay strong. A TOWER’S BACKBONE In a storm, we see trees swaying but they rarely fall over. This is because they have deep roots that tie them to the ground and a sturdy trunk that moves but doesn’t snap. Tall buildings work in a similar way. The foundations tie the structure to the ground, and we give most towers a trunk, or backbone, called its core. The core is an arrangement of walls made from steel or concrete that gives the building stability. It usually runs up the middle of a structure. When wind blows against a building, the core will sway but the…

The spire is made from more than 4,000 tonnes of structural steel and was built inside before being hoisted up. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the tallest tower in the world, standing at over 828 metres. Its stability system is called a buttressed core, which is a core shaped like a tripod. Almost 26,000 hand-cut glass panels were used for the outer layer of the towers and are designed to withstand Dubai’s extreme summer heat, where temperatures can exceed a whopping 40˚C. Construction started in January 2004 and finished with an opening ceremony in January 2010. There are 57 lifts and 8 escalators, including the world’s tallest service lift. The design of the Burj Khalifa from above is inspired by a spider lily, a desert flower found in the…

Ultra embarrassing!!! Ali. Once when I was walking home from…
