Darvaz: The Door to Hell

This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. It is situated near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep under the ground. None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it’s burning, already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years but it just seems to be infinite there.
There is also one video down there:

BMW X6‏

The BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid features a two-mode active transmission. Utilizing electronics, the transmission is able to operate in two different settings: the first for starting from a standstill and low speeds, the second for higher speeds. Based on an electrical continuously variable transmission (ECVT), the innovative transmission allows the drivetrain to run at continuously variable speeds while ensuring efficiency throughout the complete operating range of the vehicle. Unlike conventional hybrid transmissions, the two-mode transmission is more compact and lightweight—increasing efficiency while improving the X6’s driving and handling dynamics.—Michael Harley

Primary school in a cave

Have you ever seen a primary school located inside a mountain?
Here we are. This school is named mid-cave primary school as it sits in one of
three caves inside a mountain. Firstly built in 1984 meant for a teaching branch
for nearby resident units, it now accomodates 186 students with a teaching force
of 8 staff.

Pic one, children, perhaps at grade one or two, study under
natural light.

Pic 2 and 3, students on the play ground during break.

pic 4, new classrooms on construction inside the cave.

pic 5, Creeds hung over classroom, mean perseverant study.

Humble condition as that, it is still a officially registered
country primary school. I sympathize with students at those poor mountainous
regions. What impress me more is their self-sufficient, optimistic and strong
spirit that bright up the underlightened school.

China has many schools far worse than the mid-cave primary
school considering proper classroom facilities. That is a sad reality that our
government has to solve, and certainly it takes time and efforts. Fortunately,
apart from government subsidies, there are private funds and personal support
added to make their conditions better. I believe, the classrooms, electricity,
tables and stools, as well as the basketball ground, must be funded by them.
That is a better move, for those children, and for our country.
