The biggest waterfall in Switzerland is INSANE !!



The Rhine Falls is the largest waterfall in Switzerland and Europe.
The falls are located on the High Rhine on the border between the cantons of Schaffhausen (SH) and Zürich (ZH), between the municipalities of Neuhausen am Rheinfall (SH) and Laufen-Uhwiesen/Dachsen (ZH), next to the town of Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland.
They are 150 metres (490 ft) wide and 23 metres (75 ft) high. In the winter months, the average water flow is 250 m3/s, while in the summer, the average water flow is 600 m3/s. The highest flow ever measured was 1,250 cubic metres per second in 1965; and the lowest, 95 cubic metres per second in 1921.
The falls can not be climbed by fish, except by eels that are able to eel their way up over the rocks. 

Rheinfall or Rhine falls is one of the most powerful waterfalls on the main land in Europe and is located near Schaffhausen in the Northeast of Switzerland.
The Rheinfall felsen is  a mighty rock that withstood the elements for a thousand years.
There are also viewing platforms with a spectacular view on the falls on the other side of the Rhine. These can be reached via a steep and narrow stair from Schloss Laufen (admission required). Guided tours of various lengths are possible.

Double storage, longer battery life, and better Internet/data sharing."     The new Seagate Wireless Plus comes included with a USB 3.0 adapter and a separate charger for use with a wall socket. (Credit: Dong Ngo/CNET) LAS VEGAS--Seagate announced today at CES 2013 the Seagate Wireless Plus, a brand-new mobile wireless storage expander/media-streaming server for mobile devices. The Seagate Wireless Plus is the replacement of the first device of its type, the Seagate Satellite that debuted a year and a half ago. Seagate doesn't want to call the new device the second generation of the Satellite, however, because the new name also means a vastly improved product. I had a chance to check it out in the last couple of days and found that the new Seagate Wireless Plus indeed is a new device, though it shares the same concept as its predecessor. Double storage, longer battery life, and better
