why "hitler" suicided ?

As Quentin Hardy notes, Hitler was horrified by what happened to Mussolini (although I'm not sure he actually saw photographs of it). But his determination not to be captured preceded Mussolini's death. Hitler had long entertained the semi-exotic fantasy that he'd be brought to Moscow and indeed to Red Square in a cage, that he'd be paraded before assembled Soviet leaders like Stalin and masses of detestable Bolsheviks, throngs of hated Slavs in the streets. He even worried he'd be eternally embalmed and kept in state for mockery. This picture shows place where Mussolini was killed.


Mussolini's death, according to Joachim Fest, "reawakened" his fears [1]:



This claim is corroborated by the Hitler's adjutants, Heinz Linge and Otto Günsche, whose recollections formed the basis of The Hitler Book. Hitler's wild fixation on Stalin and the USSR was a significant factor in his decision; his fertile imagination supplied him with visions of torture, humiliation, and public disgrace [2].

(Italian dictator Benito Mussolini (1883-1945) rose to power in the wake of World War I as a leading proponent of Facism. Originally a revolutionary Socialist, he forged the paramilitary Fascist movement in 1919 and became prime minister in 1922. Mussolini’s military expenditures in Libya, Somalia, Ethiopia and Albania made Italy predominant in the Mediterranean region, though they exhausted his armed forces by the late 1930s. Mussolini allied himself with Hitler, relying on the German dictator to prop up his leadership during World War II, but he was killed shortly after the German surrender in Italy in 1945.)

5G.......

Google has a new top secret project by the same team that brought us Project Loon, according to The Guardian. It's called Project Skybender, and it aims to deliver 5G internet from solar drones. Mountain View has reportedly begun experimenting with millimeter wave-based internet in Virgin Galactic's Gateway to Space terminal at Spaceport America in New Mexico. Millimeter waves are believed to be capable of transmitting data 40 times faster than LTE and could become the technology behind 5G internet. DARPA began working on an internet connection based on it for remote military bases in 2012.

University of Washington professor Jacques Rudell told The Guardian that "[t]he huge advantage of millimetre wave is access to new spectrum because the existing cellphone spectrum is overcrowded. It's packed and there's nowhere else to go." The problem with millimeter wave transmissions, though, is that they fade after a short distance and can't compare to a mobile phone signal's range. That's likely one of the issue's Google is trying to solve if it aims to beam internet from the sky.

Project Skybender is currently using an "optionally piloted aircraft (OPA)" called Centaur and a solar-powered drone called Solara 50 made by Titan Aerospace, which the Big G snapped up in 2014, for its tests. Google has permission from the FCC to continue testing the drone-internet system in New Mexico until July. We'll most likely hear more details as its development progresses, the same way that Google regularly announces the latest details about Project Loon.

VIEW SOURCE CODE ON AN IPAD

To view source code on an iPad or IOS mobile device, there are two methods. The quick one is to download the App. The second and decidedly geekier of the two methods is to set up a button on your iPad as follows.
  • Open your Safari and bookmark the page you are reading by clicking on the bookmark button. Instead of the page name, name it ‘View Source’ and tap ‘Save’.
  • Open this link and copy the script.
  • Tap the Safari bookmark icon again, followed by ‘Edit’
  • Select the ‘View Source’ bookmark you created in above.
  • Paste script you copied in step 2 into the URL bar and tap ‘Done’.
  • You now have bookmark called ‘View Source’. To view the source code of any webpage on your IOS device, open any site in Safari and select Bookmarks/ ‘View Source’.
