The E3 or Electronics Entertainment Expo is an annual video and computer gaming conference that we all have heard about. At E3 held this year, 343 Industries and Microsoft astounded gamers all over the world by announcing the much awaited Halo 5 for Xbox One. A short preview of the game was released which depicts Master Chief, the primary character in the series, lying amidst a mysterious and deserted piece of land pitted against Forerunners, the primitive race of aliens that made Halos – the ultimate defensive weapon to protect themselves from the parasitical Floods. (Floods are also an alien species considered to be very dangerous.)

Halo-5-release-date

Since long, the Halo dealership has enabled Microsoft to profit in the billion dollars bracket and from the trailer of Halo 5, it appears that we have another phenomenal gaming business feat on the way. This game is the 6th episode of Halo series. Cortana’s loss and the severe damage to Master Chief’s brains, ears and eyes have left many Halo fans dazed. They are anticipating her comeback though it is not very likely. However, one speculation endorses Corona’s return. The short Halo 5 screening shows Master Chief taking out her chip from his coat. It hangs up from his necklace and appears to be badly broken. If you have watched previous Halo episodes, you will be aware that the chip was completely destroyed on the ship. But here we find it with Master Chief and this arouses even more conjecture! A lot of fans believe that Master Chief will be seen reviving the A.I in this upcoming installment of Halo.

The Halo 5 game is exclusively meant for Xbox One, Microsoft’s latest console. This is an insinuation to all Xbox 360 users that the time for a change has indeed arrived. With a high FPS count of 60, this game will be the fastest Halo ever released, or to-be-released precisely. Not only will Halo 5 be the best among the lot, it will also feature graphics that are bound to kill you. Some sources suggest that a beta version of Halo 5 will be available in 2014 and the final release will take place somewhere in the first quarter of 2015.

Well, at the moment we can only speculate. But this is for sure – when Halo 5 hits the market, it is going to take the gaming world by storm!

From CryoSat-2 Satellite, Scientist observed that Antarctic lose double of the ice as compared to the last year. Now 1600 Million tones of ices is losing y the Antarctic.

Ice loss is directly related to the sea levels and the loss of 1600 Million tons by Antarctic is enough to raise sea levels by 0.45 millimeters each year alone.

Antarctic’s Ice Loss Doubled

The very first complete assessment of Antarctic ice sheet elevation change is prepared by a team of scientist from UK Centre for Polar Observation and Modeling, led by researchers at the University of Leeds.

European Space Agency’s CryoSat-2 satellite mission was the resource from where they collected and used the measurements. A specially designed altimeter for this task was carried by the satellite.

According to the statistics, approximately 159 Giga tones ice lost in each year of 2010 and 2013.

West Antarctica lost 134 Giga tones of ice lost during 2010 and 2013.
East Antarctica three Giga tones of ice lost during 2010 and 2013.
Antarctic Peninsula 23 Giga tones of ice lost during 2010 and 2013.
According to the researchers, ice thinning has been detected In West Antarctica, in areas that were poorly surveyed by past satellite altimeter missions.

These unknown areas are now covered by Satellite and these newly-mapped areas contribute additional losses that bring altimeter observations closer to estimates based on other approaches.

Antarctic’s Ice Loss Doubled1

Lead author Dr Malcolm McMillan from the University of Leeds said, “We find that ice losses continue to be most pronounced along the fast-flowing ice streams of the Amundsen Sea sector, with thinning rates of between 4 and 8 metres per year near to the grounding lines of the Pine Island, Thwaites and Smith Glaciers.”
