Who are the oldest people in the world and where are they from? | World ...
As Japan reports a record number of centenarians, Dr Bradley Wilcox explains the secrets of some of the country’s oldest people: the Okinawans.
Most of us can expect to live to around 80, some people defy expectations and live to be over 100. The oldest person in history, a French woman named Jeanne Calment lived to 122, but when she was born the average life expectancy was roughly 43. A recent study proposes that the limit to human lifespan is closer to 150.
Around 20% of people in Japan, Germany and Italy are aged 65 or over, making the populations of these three nations the world’s oldest.
His milestone map closely resembles the oldest-surviving terrestrial globe, Erdapfel, created by cartographer Martin Behaim. Today, it’s preserved at the Yale University archives. 1529: A well-kept Spanish secret The first ever scientific world map is most widely attributed to the Portuguese cartographer Diego Ribero.
The oldest living person, Jeanne Calment of France, was 122 when she died in 1997; the current oldest person is 118-year-old Kane Tanaka of Japan. Using Bayesian probability, researchers estimate that the world record of 122 years almost certainly will be broken this century.
Which country today is the world’s oldest democracy? It’s a loaded question — as you’ll see, there is plenty of nuance involved in the answer. Depending on how you define things, there are many jurisdictions that can lay claim to this coveted title.
Indeed, the world’s oldest tree, in eastern California, is thought to be the world’s oldest living thing at more than 4,850 years old – older than the pyramids at Giza. Whether hundreds or thousands of years old, the role of ancient trees and woodland worldwide is clear.
The oldest recorded human alive was Jeanne Calment who lived until she was 122 years and 164 days. Calment died in 1997 and the record still stands. Statisticians expect that record will be broken by 2100. A new study by the University of Washington shows there is a 89% chance that someone will live to at least 126 during the 21st century. It also found there is a 3% chance that someone will ...
Bismarck construction flaws by Monitor » Fri 5:50 pm This subject is often discussed in military and naval circles. Can somebody enumerate Bismarck construction flaws and their possible impact on the ship's final demise?
Re: Bismarck and her contemporaries by Bgile » Wed 5:50 pm There seems to always be a significant number of duds when heavy armor is encountered. However, a dud can sometimes be even more damaging than a bullet which explodes. For example, suppose a shell failed to explode and instead was deflected through the bottom of the ship?

Bismarck at DS after the second turn - Page 16 - Naval History Forums
Bismarck´s steam plant was a high temperature/high pressure on, at 58 kg/cm2, while the American´s was a little lower at 40 kg/cm2. Bismarck´s steam would attain a higher steam jet velocity, what would need a matching high rpm turbine for efficiency, which Bismarck´s single reduction gearing could not reach.
Bismarck's draft at 49406 tonnes = 10.2 meters. so we subtract 170cm from this @ 48.437 tonnes/cm = 8234 tonnes or 49406 -8234 = 41172 tonnes, which is less than I thought, but if we consider that Scharnhorst could make 29 knots with ~118000 shp, @ 39000 tonnes, this actually fits, considering the poorer L/B of Bismarck, so my estimate above, is a bit optimistic. Again, this only makes sense ...
Lest we forget, Sink the Bismarck was based on the 1959 historical novel Hunting the Bismarck by C.S.Forester. Forester made no pretense about it being anything more than a novel.
Bismarck straddled Rodney at 3rd salvo, around 8:51, causing minor splinter damage, followed by an immediate course alteration performed by Rodney (slightly to the N-E), and by KGV (slightly to the S-E).
Re: Bismarck/Tirpitz = most powerfull European battleships by Dave Saxton » Tue 2:06 pm In my opinion "Weight of Broadside" is meaningless in 20th century naval warefare. It may have been meaningful in Lord Nelson's time but by WWII weight of shells and number fired per salvo could hardly be a reliable measure of firepower.

Also Bismarck´s difference between standard and full displacement was of just 9,200 tons (22% of her standard displacement) while Titanic´s was of 21,428 tons (86% !!!!). It´s almost twice her own displacement. What´s that due for: the coal?
