Is it Hairy face disease


Is it Hairy face disease, disorder or a syndrome. Hairy face boy is a young kid from India who has it


Heavy growth of hair on the chin, cheeks, and adjacent parts of the face of the human adult male is a natural thing. The beard generally begins to grow during puberty, when the texture is soft and downy. 

But there is a young kid from India who has facial hair since he was born. Hair grow on all parts of the face inlcuding forehead, upper cheeks, nose and even on ears.

Hair grow not only on the face but also on some parts of the body aswell which includes legs, shoulders, biceps and chest.

Here are some smiling pictures of hairy face boy with his brothers and sisters.

Amazing Lyre bird


One of two species of Lyrebird found in Australia the other being the Albert's lyrebird.

This Amazing Bird is not only beautiful but has a naturally strange characteristic. This Bird mimics the calls of other birds, also copy cats any other sound which comes to this bird. i.e. chainsaws, camera shutters, car noises, dogs and other noises are no problem for this excellent imitator. This Clever Bird is one of the most impressive and funny in nature, with unbelivable sounds to match the beautiful pictures.

Lyrebirds, especially males, are generally shy and are more often heard than seen. The male builds a display mound - a low hillock about a metre across - which he rakes up in soft soil. He normally makes a series of these mounds and visits them in turn, stopping at each to sing and display.

When the project is complete it will consist of three interlinking towers containing offices, apartments and a hotel. The Dancing towers, which share a single podium, will form the centrepiece of the Business Bay development Dubai.


Below is a statement from the architect:

Architectural Project Narrative

Designing an Icon

Zaha Hadid's architecture for the Dubai Signature Towers confirms the role of Business Bay Development at the very forefront of Dubai 's rapidly changing future. The Dubai Dancing towers rise above the creek and project themselves as an icon for the surrounding developments and for the gulf region.

The Dubai Dancing tower's striking design creates a new presence that punctures the skyline with a powerful recognizable silhouette. The fluid character of the Dancing towers is generated through an intrinsically dynamic composition of volumes. The Signature towers are inter-twinned to share programmatic elements and rotate to maximize the views from the site towards the creek and neighbouring developments in Dubai.

The design quality of the Dancing towers to act as a symbol and icon extends beyond their scale and location such as Dubai. These qualities are derived from the boldness of the architectural concept, from the 'choreographed' movement that combines the three towers in one overall gesture and 'weaves' with a series of public spaces through the podium, the bridges and the landscape beyond.


Context

There will, in the future, become a silhouette of towers, whose pinnacles will represent the hearts of the new districts within the greater metropolitan area of Dubai .
Dubai Signature Towers formely Dancing Towers Picture

On the ground, the Dubai Business Bay development site will become stitched into the proposed extended road and infrastructure network of the enlarged metropolitan area. The new pedestrian routes and roads passing under and around the Towers development will extend across the creek, bringing people directly from Sheikh Zayed Road via a grid of major and minor thoroughfares and boulevards.


Connectivity and Public Space

The site is composed by 4 different parts: (A) central circular plot, (B) an elongated park plot, (C) the surface of the creek on axis of plot A and (D) a rectangular plot across the creek at the west margin.

Connectivity between these parts becomes therefore central to the project; in order to produce an articulated design that encompasses both the scale and the different qualities of each of the parts, transforming them into a coherent scheme.

The circular shape of the plot and attached vehicular circulation layout creates a barrier of vehicular traffic around the site, generating an island that detaches the plot from the waterfront promenade.

By incorporating the design of two new link bridges and a new ground the project effectively multiplies the potential and connectivity of the site, linking the park at the East - via the Signature towers with the water's edge at the West margin of the creek.
Dubai Signature Towers formely Dancing Towers Picture
The site's spectacular location at the waterfront engages the project in the continuous promenade that links through the whole development. By converting the semi-circular road into a tunnel next to the waterfront the proposal releases the ground surface to the pedestrian, significantly enlarging the public space of the promenade. The podium addresses the waterfront by extending it's landscape across and inducing pedestrian movement into the promenade at ground level.


The enclosed bridges allow for people to walk from one point to the other in a comfortable shaded environment. During the summer the bridges would be fully air conditioned. During the winter they would be opened and operate with natural cross ventilation.

The bridge across the creek has a double deck that allows for two different uses: one fast - crossing the creek aided by escalators and travelators, and the other slow with the possibility of having a restaurants and shops on it's wider section. We envisage plot D as a landing building attached to the bridge, programmed with leisure or entertainment activities.

This 'habitable' bridge, with it's prominent location at the centre of the creek' - it's own programme and design - will undoubtedly establish itself as an icon in it's own right: a destination for Dubai , attracting local public and foreign tourists alike.

The bridge to the east, links the park (B) with the retail podium and the Offices' tower. The design of the park carefully knits the built environment with nature. The proposed soft landscape and water features create a more intimate atmosphere, with a terrace of restaurants and bars embedded at the end of the bridge.

The creek waterside promenade and the park promenade address the water elements in two different scales of intervention. The creek public promenade offers the public broad views and vistas. The park provides a more intimate scale surrounded by the trees. The two interventions enrich the overall development by creating a diversity of spaces that allow for multiple uses and different ambiances.

In the proposal a new ground is created with a raised landscape, additional levels that contain programme underneath. Under the great arch formed by the merging of the Residential and the Hotel towers, this canyon - like arch space extends linking the two sides of the site and breaking the perimeter circulation. Arrival at the Hotel drop-off is done under the arch and plaza - townscape, with reception and concierge services, lounge area, as well as bars and restaurants underneath.

This canyon - like space between the towers has a seamless character, connecting the landscape around the podium, with a proposed network of pedestrian paths weaving around the base of the Dubai Dancing towers and the podium various entrances and drop-offs. In the interior, the canyon links the two cores of the Hotel with the podium.


Programme

Programming of public and private life is an active tool to inject life into the space, integrating new layers of activity and landscape, creating a network of synergetic uses that can develop a new urban ecology.

The programme was addressed as a whole with the three Dancing  towers corresponding directly to the three main functions: offices, hotel and residential. Together, the towers generate a critical mass of sustainable programmatic relationships.

The Dubai towers share a common base / podium, designed as a materialized shadow of the towers and programmed with retail, restaurants and amenities that support the demand from the tower's population. The podium also contains peripheral functions of the Hotel like the Banquet Hall complex and all the residential car parking.

Under the podium 4 levels of basement accommodate all the necessary heavy back of house / servicing programme, underground technical and plant rooms and car parking for the Retail and Hotel (1st basement) and for the Offices (remaining 3 basements).

The podium terraces / rooftops create outdoor spaces for leisure and recreation, featuring public swimming pools, spa, sports areas and esplanade restaurants. The textured landscape quality of these terraces creates a new ground that interconnects between the towers.

The three towers are conjoined two by two, the Offices and the Hotel at the base and the Hotel and the Residential at the top. Through these adjacencies, the towers are strategically organized in a symbiotic relation, sharing certain segments of the programme.

On the 7th level, the floor plates of the Hotel and the Office towers merge creating a link to the Hotel Business Centre (part of the Offices tower) with meeting rooms, office facilities and services for guests.

The Residential tower shares a core with the hotel, enabling all the back of house / servicing spine to be combined. At 38th level, where the floor plates merge, the apartment residents can share some of the collective programme of the Hotel, like the indoor swimming pool and other amenities.


At the top of the Hotel, 65th Level, the three Signature towers share a panoramic restaurant with breathtaking views over the creek, Business Bay Development area, Burj Dubai downtown, and the Gulf beyond.

The advantage of conjoining the three Dancing  towers in one organism, resides in the fact that the development can be lived in a full day cycle: anchored in it's residential population, it reaches the peak of activity during office hours and it mutates through the diversity of the ever-changing population of the hotel.

In Dubai, The heterogeneous population mix creates a cosmopolitan urban environment, constantly energized and renovated through it's own life.

Mothman


Mothman


A humanoid with insect wings and crimson eyes, known as the Mothman, terrorized Point Pleasant, W.Va., during the late 1960s. No solid evidence exists of the creature, except for a handful of witness reports documented in paranormal-journalist John A Keel's Mothman Prophecies.

The Iron Pillar of Delhi


The Iron Pillar of Delhi

The Iron Pillar of Delhi is a 1,600-year-old, 22 feet high pillar located in the Qutb complex in India. The pillar, made from 98% wrought iron, has been astounding scientists by its ability to resist corrosion after all these years.

The Stonehenge


The Stonehenge

The Stonehenge landscape of Salisbury Plain, England, has become a tourist hotspot. But before foreigners with windbreakers and cameras showed up, the area may have been a burial ground and ceremonial den dating back 5,000 years.

The Fountain of Youth


The Fountain of Youth

Don Juan Ponce de Leon completed Spain's claim on America in 1509, and soon after was made governor of Puerto Rico. Six years later, following Indian rumors, he traveled north to the island of Bimini in search of the Fountain of Youth. Bimini turned out to be the peninsula of Florida, and the fountain remained hidden until July 2006, when famed magician David Copperfield claimed the waters on his $50 million Exumas Island (c.) had healing properties.

The Loch Ness Monster


The Loch Ness Monster

According to Scottish folklore, a mystical creature called a water horse lures small children to a watery grave by tricking them to ride on its sticky back. The Loch Ness Monster became an English wonder in 1933, after witness accounts made newspaper headlines. No hard evidence of the creature has ever been recorded with several pictures, including the one above, being proven as hoaxes.

Easter Island


Easter Island


Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui, is remotely located 2,000 miles off the coast of Tahiti. The original settlers of the island were Polynesians who migrated to the far-off land between 400 and 600 BC. They built many shrines and statues, called moai, from stones quarried throughout the island including a volcano site. Researchers still question exactly how the large stones were moved.

The Legend of El Dorado


The Legend of El Dorado

The Legend of El Dorado originates from the Muisca, who lived in the modern country of Colombia from 1000 to 1538 AD. In a ritual ceremony for their goddess, the tribal chief would cover himself in gold dust and jump into a lake as an offering. This spawned the legend of a lost golden city, which led Spanish conquistadors on a wild goose chase to nowhere.

Ancient Pyramids in Giza, Egypt


Ancient Pyramids in Giza, Egypt

Khafre (l.) and Khufu (r.) are two of the three ancient Pyramids in Giza, Egypt. Khufu is the biggest, consisting of more than 2 million stones with some weighing 9 tons. The Pyramids, built as elaborate tombs for divine kings, date back to 2,550 BC. Modern Egyptologists believe that the Pyramids are made from stones dragged from quarries and, despite ancient Greek testimony, were built predominantly by skilled craftsmen rather than slave labor.

The mighty Incan Empire of South America


The mighty Incan Empire of South America



The mighty Incan Empire of South America flourished between 1200 and 1535 AD. They developed drainage systems and canals to expand their crops, and built stone cities atop steep mountains such as Machu Picchu (above) without ever inventing the wheel. Despite their vast achievements, the Incan Empire with its 40,000 manned army was no match for 180 Spanish conquistadors armed with advanced weapons and smallpox.

Australians set beachside bikini record


More than 1,000 Australian women donned free bikinis on Sydney's Bondi Beach on Wednesday for a group photograph to win a spot in the Guinness World Book of Records.
"This was certainly one of the more spectacular world records that I've been invited to adjudicate on," said Chris Sheedy, a representative for Guinness World Records.

"As an Australian myself, it's logical that any record involving sun, sand and surf should be held in this country."
Bondi lifeguards turned their ocean-front headquarters into a dressing room to allow each woman to change into her bikini.
The skimpy swimwear made its debut in 1946.
Hoping it would be worn by beautiful "bombshells", the designers named it after Bikini Atoll, an atomic bomb test site in the Marshall Islands.

Giant spider looms over art lovers


A giant spider took up residence on the banks of the River Thames in central London overnight, but arachnophobes can relax - it does not bite or even move.
The nine metre high and wide creature is made of bronze, stainless steel and marble and is the creation of renowned artist Louise Bourgeois.
Created in 1999 and named Maman in tribute to the artist's mother, its appearance outside the Tate Modern art gallery is the first time it has been on display outdoors in Britain.
"The spider is an ode to my mother. She was my best friend. Like a spider, my mother was a weaver," the 95-year-old Bourgeois said in a statement.
"Like spiders, my mother was very clever. Spiders are friendly presences that eat mosquitoes. We know that mosquitoes spread diseases and are therefore unwanted. So spiders are helpful and protective, just like my mother," she added. French-born Bourgeois is regarded by many as one of the most important artists working today.
She has always been at the forefront of new developments in art, exploring her ideas in painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation and performance, using varied media - from wood and stone to latex and rubber.
Bronze casts of Maman are on permanent display at the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao in Spain, the Samsung Museum of Art in Seoul, the Mori Art Centre in Tokyo and the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa.
The Tate's Maman is a taster for an exhibition of 200 works by Bourgeois that will open in the gallery on October 10 and run to January 20, 2008.

World's Largest Liger (Lion+Tiger)


Know what's a Liger? It's a cross breed of a Lion male and Tiger female...
Read on......

The 10ft Liger who's still growing...

He looks like something from a prehistoric age or a fantastic creation from Hollywood . But Hercules is very much living flesh and blood - as he proves every time he opens his gigantic mouth to roar. Part lion, part tiger, he is not just a big cat but a huge one, standing 10ft tall on his back legs. Called a liger, in reference to his crossbreed parentage, he is the largest of all the cat species.

On a typical day he will devour 20lb of meat, usually beef or chicken, and is capable of eating 100lb at a single setting. At just three years old, Hercules already weighs half a ton.

He is the accidental result of two enormous big cats living close together at the Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species, in Miami, Florida , and already dwarfs both his arents. "Ligers are not something we planned on having," said institute owner Dr Bhagavan Antle. "We have lions and tigers living together in large enclosures and at first we had no idea how well one of the lion boys was getting along with a tiger girl, then loo and behold we had a liger."

50mph runner... Not only that, but he likes to swim, a feat unheard of among water-fearing lions. In the wild it is virtually impossible for lions and tigers to mate. Not only are they enemies likely to kill one another, but most lions are in Africa and most tigers in Asia . But incredible though he is, Hercules is not unique. Ligers have been bred in captivity, deliberately and accidentally, since shortly before World War II.

Today there are believed to be a handful of ligers around the world and a similar number of tigons, the product of a tiger father and lion mother. Tigons are smaller than ligers and take on more physical characteristics of the tiger.


Look at the size of the head on this thing.. :o)



Kevin Richardson's Brave Friendship

Japan opens Beaujolais Nouveau spa


Health resorts and heavy drinking don't usually go hand in hand, but that hasn't stopped the Japanese from flocking to the newly-opened Beaujolais Nouveau spa.

The retreat, part of the Hakone Yunessun spa, offers guests the chance to bathe in the wine while they drink it.

Visitors can enjoy a Beaujolais Nouveau bath at the hot springs

Beaujolais Nouveau is enjoying growing popularity in Japan, which long ago replaced Britain as its biggest export market.

"To us Beaujolais nouveau means France, it allows us to experience a little bit of French culture," said Akiko Yajima, a journalist with Nippon News Network said earlier this week.
"Also it is not too heavy. Japanese ladies are very comfortable drinking it."
Japanese drinkers consume 11.5 million bottles, nearly a quarter of the entire vintage.
Makers of the wine recently launched a Rosé version, which is also expected to be big in Japan.
