World War 2 Victory Ships

Posted: 17 May 2021 01:18 AM PDT

World War 2 was a global conflict like no other. The vast distances required to transport war materials required newer state of the art ships. The Victory Ship would be America's answer to the war effort’s shipping problem. Victory Ships replaced the aging fleet of Liberty Ships. Up until the introduction of the Victory Ship, the Liberty Ship reigned as America’s premier cargo vessel. There were over 2700 Liberty Ships built during the war but the Victory Ships would have a longer range, faster speed, and simpler design which allowed for faster construction.

The increased speed of the Victory Ships not only allowed the vessels to reach their destinations faster, this also helped the ships evade German submarines. A faster ship makes a much more difficult target for German U-Boats. Throughout World War 2, it was imperative that as many vessels crossed the Atlantic as possible. Each Victory Ship that crossed the Atlantic had the capability of carrying over 10,000 tons of war material. Some of these ships were also converted to troop carriers, an even more important cargo which required safe passage across the Atlantic Ocean. These ships usually consisted of a 62 person crew made up of both Merchant Marines and U.S. Coast Guardsmen.

Before the war ended, over 500 ships were built for the war effort. Some of these vessels are still around. There are 3 victory ship museums; The SS American Victory in Tampa Florida; the SS Lane Victory in Los Angeles California; and the SS Red Oak in Richmond California. The SS American Victory in Tampa is amazingly still fully operational. A few times a year, visitors to the ship can cruise around Tampa Bay and experience World War 2 maritime life. The fact these ships are still afloat is a testament to their amazing design and construction.

NFT Development Platforms: Ethereum vs. Flow

Posted: 17 May 2021 01:06 AM PDT

Non-fungible token development has gained huge popularity in the spring of 2021. There are plenty of celebrities who joined the NFT hype train with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who sold his first tweet as an NFT for nearly $3 million, and Kings of Leon band, who embedded NFT into their new album to open access to some special artworks. Non-fungible tokens opened a new door for digital artists who always had difficulties monetizing their digital works of art online. However, NFTs go far beyond that and give us a new look at how we can use blockchain. There’s a potential for creating Sport NFTs, Fashion NFTs, Real Estate NFTs, Gaming NFTs, Media & entertainment NFTs, and more.

Though a new question arises – what technologies are better to use for NFT development? In this table infographic, we compare two platforms that showed their worth: Ethereum, familiar to all crypto enthusiasts, and Flow – a fairly new but promising blockchain.

Ethereum vs Flow

We compare the two platforms Ethereum vs Flow by the following parameters: scalability, transaction cost, consensus mechanism, smart contracts, account model, and working philosophy. Both platforms have their pros and cons. So we have created the table so that it would become clearer which platform is most suitable for specific NFT, industry, market, and business needs.

At the end of the table, there is a conclusion that explains the strong points of Ethereum and Flow. Ethereum is widely known in the crypto world and lots of tokens have already been issued using Ethereum. Nevertheless, Flow has its own advantages that can compensate for some of Ethereum’s flaws.

Have a closer look at the table to find out more about Ethereum and Flow as tools for non-fungible token development.

The table is useful for blockchain developers as well as for people who would like to learn more about the blockchain technical details.

The 5 Tallest Buildings in New Zealand

Posted: 17 May 2021 12:52 AM PDT

When we consider the country of New Zealand, most of us think about sprawling landscapes, untouched nature, and maybe, the Lord of the Rings. While New Zealand has built a reputation as a far-flung destination of untouched natural beauty, we often forget that this tiny island on the bottom of the planet is actually home to over five million people!

With 5 major cities spread across both the North and the South Islands, New Zealand boasts some impressive high-rise buildings and modern architecture. The largest of these cities, Auckland, boasts the tallest building found in the southern hemisphere – quite a claim to fame! Auckland is home to over 1.6 million people and is affectionately known as 'the city of sails' (Auckland recently hosted the 36th Americas Cup, a yacht race where the prize is the oldest trophy in world sports).

Wide range of architectural styles

The city features a wide range of architectural styles. Many early Victorian styled historical buildings remain, nestled among modern, 21st century designs. These historical buildings are classified and heritage building which means they are safeguarded from demolition and redevelopment.

Much of the high-rise building found in Auckland are located, unsurprisingly, in the central business district which is beautifully positioned near the water. With sweeping views of the Hauraki Gulf, these impressive buildings are home to both international business and residential apartments. Most large international organisations will have a dedicated Auckland office. While they might not be on quite the same level as Dubai, New York or other major cities, Auckland is steadfast becoming an attractive prospect for commercial real estate development.

The infographic, brought to us by NZ commercial property fund, Provincia lists the top 5 tallest building found in Auckland (and New Zealand). There are currently several high-rise building under construction in the city which, when, when completed will claim some of the top positions on this list. Most notably, the Seascape building, set for a 2022 completion will be 52 stories and will be the tallest residential building in New Zealand.
