Graphene-based sieve turns seawater into drinking water # Graphene is just one atom thick and 200 times stronger than steel Scientists in England have used the graphene membrane to filter common salts out of seawater, making it safe to drink. The sieve uses the world's thinnest material graphene, a form of carbon, which is just one atom thick and 200 times stronger than steel. The discovery by a team at the University of Manchester has the potential to revolutionise water filtration across the world, particularly in countries which cannot afford large-scale desalination plants. While the graphene-oxide membrane had previously been used to filter out large salt crystals, scientists have now found a way to control the pore size of the membrane. The discovery, which was announced in the Nature Nanotechnology journal, means the graphene layer can now sieve common salts out of salty water, making it safe to drink. The discovery has the potential to revolutionise water filtration across the world Professor Rahul Nair, who lead the team of researchers in Manchester, says it is a "significant step forward" that will "open new possibilities for improving the efficiency of desalination technology". Graphene was originally isolated by two researchers at the University of Manchester in 2004 - Professor Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov, who later won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work. By 2025, the UN expects that 14% of the world's population will encounter water scarcity. International development charity WaterAid says one in 10 people in the world live without safe water and 315,000 children aged under five die from diseases caused by dirty water every year - about one child every two minutes.

9/11: FBI releases previously unseen images showing devastation at Pentagon Some of the images show fire fighters battling to extinguish a huge fireball, while others show debris from the attack scattered across the area FBI The FBI has released previously unseen pictures of the devastation at the Pentagon on 9/11. Hijacked American Airlines flight 77 crashed into the building in the 2001 terror attack, killing 187 people. The images show debris from the jet strewn on the floor, rescue workers searching for survivors and the extent of the damage to sections of the building. Almost 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks, which were claimed by al Qaeda and its then leader Osama bin Laden. Hijackers seized control of passenger jets and crashed them into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. Another flight, United 93, was also taken over and believed to be heading for Washington DC, but it crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after the passengers and crew tried to regain control. The total number of people killed in the 9/11 attacks was 2,996, while more than 6,000 were injured, making it is the single worst act of terrorism in history. It was previously thought that the images had been newly released because of a fresh date stamp. But FBI spokeswoman Jillian Stickels said the pictures were first posted online in 2011. A technical glitch caused them to disappear from the site for an undetermined period of time, she added. They were restored in recent days to public view once the FBI learned they were missing, according to the FBI spokeswoman.

For rent: Chiswick flat with shower in the kitchen A studio flat with a shower in the kitchen has gone on the market in a desirable West London, England. The flat has been “refurbished to a high standard” according to an advert on Gumtree, and has a price tag of £850 per month. The ad describes it as having its “own shower” and an “open plan kitchen" – however it fails to mention that the shower is situated right next to the kitchen work surfaces. Pictures of the flat, located in Chiswick High Road, reveal the unusual quirk – showing the kitchen sink with a shower on one side and a stove on the other. Although London house prices are uncertain due to Brexit, it is still the most expensive place to live in the UK. The average house price at £491,000 compared to £218,000 in the rest of the country, found the Office for National Statistics.

A wolf and a rabbit hated each other... One day, the pair were walking through an enchanted forest when they discovered a magical frog trapped in a hole. The frog promised to grant them each three wishes if they helped him escape. The two rescued the frog, and after they set him safely on the ground, the frog croaked, "thank you! Now I will grant your wishes." The wolf grinned and barked, "I wish I was the only male wolf in this forest." "Done," said the frog, and as if on cue a gorgeous female wolf sauntered towards the group and licked Mr. Wolf on the cheek before returning to the woods. The rabbit then made his wish. "I wish for a motorcycle." "Done," said the frog, and a motorcycle appeared out of thin air. The wolf laughed and shook his head at the rabbits stupid wish. "Dumb rabbit!" he laughed, his lust driving him to his next wish. "I wish that I was the only male wolf in the country!" 'Done," said the frog, and this time, two female wolves approached, and gave him flirty gazes before walking away. "And I'd like to wish for a helmet," stated the rabbit. "Done," said the frog, and a helmet appeared on the rabbits head. He fastened it and sat on his motorcycle. Once again, the wolf laughed at the rabbits wish. "And for my final wish," he boasted, "I wish I was the only male wolf in the entire world!!" "Done," said the frog, and this time three gorgeous wolves appeared from the woods, completely enamored with the male wolf. The wolf prepared himself to leave the woods with them and have the best night of his life. "And for my final wish," chittered the rabbit with a grin, revving up his engine. "I wish the only male wolf in the world was gay!" "Done," said the frog, and the rabbit zoomed off.

Purina diet I was buying a large bag of Purina at Wal-Mart for my dog and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her no, I was just starting The Purina Diet again. Although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time. But I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her. Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition because I had been poisoned. I told her no; it was because I'd been sitting in the street licking my balls and a car hit me.

Why are you digging a hole? Little 8 year old Susie is in her back yard digging a hole. Her neighbor Mr. Johnson peeks over the fence and says "gee Susie, what's going on?" Susie says "I'm digging a hole, it's pretty obvious." Mr. Johnson asks "why are you digging a hole?" Susie replies "I'm burying my gold fish." Mr Johnson laughs and asks "Why is the hole so big?" Susie replies "Because my goldfish is inside your f*cking cat".

A man dies and goes to hell There he finds that there is a different hell for each country. He goes to the German hell and asks, What do they do there? He told, First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and beats you for the rest of the day. The man doesn't like it, so he moves on and checks out the American hell, the Russian hell and hells of other countries. He finds that they're all more or less the same as the German hell. Then he comes to the Indian hell and finds that there is a long queue of people waiting to get in. Amazed, he asks, What do they do here? He told, First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the Indian devil comes in and beats you for the rest of the day. But that is exactly the same as all the other hell; so why are so many people waiting to get in here? wonders the man. He is told, Because the maintenance here is so bad that the electric chair does not work. Someone has stolen all the nails from the bed and the Indian devil is a former government servant. So he just comes, signs the attendance register and then goes to the canteen.

Stuck on a deserted island A blonde, a brunette and a redhead are all stuck on a deserted island together. The island is 20 miles from the nearest inhabited island so they all decide to try to swim there. The redhead makes it 10 miles, is exhausted, gives up, and drowns. The brunette makes it 15 miles before she's too tired to go any farther and drowns. The blonde gets 19 miles away from the deserted island, decides she's too tired to go any farther, and swims all the way back to the deserted island.

True - but no Tiger Woods The next person is cheerfully thinking, why oh why did I start the computers upgrade this weekend.

Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest) Monastery Guru Padmasambhava, popularly known as Guru Rinpoche visited and sanctified Bhutan in the 8th century when evil spirits abounded and harmed people. Legend has it that Guru Rinpoche flew to this site on a tigress’ back to subdue a local demon. Thereafter, he meditated here for three months. Taktshang Goemba or Tiger’s Nest Monastery was blessed and sanctified as one of Bhutan’s most sacred religious sites. It hangs on a cliff and stands above a beautiful forest of blue pine and rhododendrons. Lego model of Bhutan's Tiger's Nest monastery
