Salt Harvest: Major infrastructure project launched at the Dead Sea

ICL’s salt ponds constitute the southern part of the Dead Sea. Many hotels and tourist attractions were built on these ponds’ shores and utilize their production of salt for the local tourism industry. Specifically, one major pond — Pond 5 — “enables the … livelihoods of thousands of people [who are] dependent on [its] stable water level,” according to ICL.

Incredible Test Flight Footage Shows Flying Sports Car Taking To The Skies

Articel from Unilad. The article contains a You Tube video as well on the car’s flight. It looks fantastic to me. To think that flight technology can be made this compact.

It’s not really like the flying car’s we see in sci-fi films, but this may be the first step. Besides, I’m not sure flying cars were practical anyway.

Maybe, this will find it’s own niche. But who knows what the future will bring.


The idea of a flying car has been heavily featured in most sci-fi fantasies, but it seems that the technology could become a reality after a successful test of a flying sports car.

In Slovakia, a winged sports car has taken to the sky and it may signal the beginning of more flying cars being developed. The AirCar is a two-seater car that weighs just 1,100kg with the ability to carry 200kg of weight.

Microsoft Releases Free App To Train AI Models Without Writing Any Code

Microsoft has announced the launch of the public preview of a free app that allows users to train machine learning (ML) models without writing any code.

This app — Lobe — has been designed for Windows and Mac, only supports image classification; however, the tech giant is planning to expand the app to include other models and data types in the future.

According to Lobe website, the app needs to be shown examples of what the users want to learn, and the app automatically trains a custom machine learning model that can be shipped in the users’ app.

Earth’s Magnetic North Pole Has Begun Racing Towards Siberia

In 1831, the British explorer James Clark Ross determined the position of the magnetic North Pole to within a few miles for the first time. He found it on the Boothia Peninsula in Nunavut, northern Canada where he and his team camped in the “snow huts of a recently deserted Esquimaux village”.

Even then, the pole was known to move, albeit slowly. Some 70 years later, the Norwegian Amundsen rediscovered it nearby and over the next ninety years, it migrated slowly northwards at a rate of up to 15 kilometers (just over 9 miles) per year.

Then, in 1990, it suddenly began to accelerate northwards. In 2017, it passed the geographic North Pole and is now heading south towards Siberia.
