Incredible Photos: A Child is Born Swedesh photographer Lennart Nilsson spent 12
years of his life taking pictures of the foetus
developing in the womb. These incredible photographs were taken with
conventional cameras
with macro lenses, an endoscope and scanning electron microscope. Nilsson used a
magnification of hundreds of thousands and "worked" right in the womb. His first
photo of the
human foetus was taken in 1965.

Will they have a date?
The fallopian tube
Two sperms are contacting with the egg cell
The winning sperm
Sperm
5-6 days.
The clump has developed into a blastocyst, containing many more cells,
and has entered the womb
98 days.
The human embryo is attached to a wall of the uterus
The brain starts to develop in the human embryo
24 days.
The one-month-old embryo has no skeleton yet.
There is only a heart that starts beating on the 18th day

4.5 weeks
5 weeks: Approximately 9 mm.
You can now distinguish the face with holes for eyes, nostrils and mouth

Embryonic cells form the placenta.
This organ connects the embryo to the uterine wall allowing nutrient uptake,
waste elimination and gas exchange via the woman's blood supply
Eight weeks.
The rapidly-growing embryo is well protected in the foetal sac
10 weeks.
The eyelids are semi-shut. They will close completely in a few days
16 weeks.
The foetus uses its hands to explore its own body and its surroundings
The skeleton consists mainly of flexible cartridge.
A network of blood vessels is visible through the thin skin
18 weeks: Approximately 14 cm.
The foetus can now perceive sounds from the outside world

There are still 8-10 weeks ahead, so the little human is getting ready to leave
the uterus.
It turns upside down because it will be easier to get out this way

Playhouses Of Rich Kids

Wendy houses or playhouses for children of the super rich
Lilliput Play Homes,
based in Finleyville, Pennsylvania, sell 30 signature playhouses including
the top-of-the-range Grand Victorian playhouse [above] which costs $19,999
(about £12,900). They ship the homes all over the world to parents eager to
give their kids a taste of the real world in miniature. All of the
playhouses have lavish interiors with accessories and furniture - and some
even have working electricity for air conditioning should the kids get too
hot.
"We had one customer who had made their money in trucking who ordered an
entire 'main street' for their child down in Florida which set them back
$100,000 (£65,000)" said owner Steve Chernicky. "That was a
one-off, but was a significant order."
"Our starting prices for a standard luxury wendy house is around £3,800. But,
if families want a custom playhouse and they order more than one, their bill
starts at £39,000 each," said Steve. Above: Children play at the Cotton
Candy Manor which costs $9,599 (about £6,140).
The company has a burgeoning list of customers from the UK. "A large part
of our business is international sales," said Steve. "On larger
projects, we will fly out a supervisor from our company to help assemble
these playhouses overseas." Above: A boy plays outside the Five Alarm
Firehouse which costs $4,699 (about £3,000)
The Red Apple School House which costs $5,299 (about £3,400)
Two girls play inside The Red Apple School House
Lil' Raskals' Lookout, which costs $5,899 (about £3,750)
The Princess Cottage: $5,499 (about £3,500)
The Piccadilly Playhouse: $3,999 (about £2,500)
A girl plays in inside a Newport-style Mansion
A man builds one of the playhouses in the style of a castle at the Lilliput Play Homes warehouse in Finleyville, Pennsylvania
Extravagant children's playhouses are auctioned off in Los Angeles. Homeaid's
19th annual Project Playhouse auction raises funds to help to build housing
for the homeless. The playhouses are on show at a shopping centre in Irvine,
California, for six weeks before the auction
The playhouses, most of which come equipped with flat-screen TVs installed,
are designed for the children of the rich and famous
This playhouse is called the Ocean Adventure Lab

If you wake up my baby I'll go ape! The moment a 200lb gorilla cradles her newborn baby seconds after giving birth
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 1:58 AM on 29th September 2011
Five years ago she became the first gorilla in the world to have fertility treatment. So
it's little wonder Salome looks utterly content as she cradles her
newborn – who arrived following nothing more complicated than a bit of
monkeying around.The
western lowland gorilla gave birth on Tuesday, but the baby has not yet
been named because Salome, 35, is so protective of her third child that
she won't loosen her grip for keepers to determine its sex.
I'll never let you go: Salome cradles her
sleeping newborn at Bristol Zoo. The gorilla house has been temporarily
closed to allow the apes to bond with the new arrival
John Partridge, senior curator
of animals at Bristol Zoo, said: 'It is still very early days, but
Salome is a great mother and has been cradling and cuddling her baby
affectionately.'Salome
keeps the baby very close and we are keen to give the gorillas space,
therefore it is still too early to determine the sex of the baby.'

On me 'ead son: Four-day-old tortoise is riding high as he hitches a lift with mother
Pandaaahs! Un-bear-ably cute cubs snuggle up in their nursery
Salome was given the human
fertility drug Clomid – which encourages the ovaries to release eggs –
in 2006 after her keepers noticed she had failed to conceive despite
mating regularly with partner Jock. The
treatment was a success and she gave birth to a son, Komale, later that
year. Her first baby was conceived naturally and born in 1988.
Furry much in love: Salome cradling her newborn
gorilla baby, still wet seconds after being born at Bristol Zoo Gardens
yesterday. The baby's father Jock, is also bonding with the new arrival
I only have eyes for you: Hours later Salome is still cuddling her new baby, which is starting to open its eyes
Snoozy does it: All this mothering is a tiring
business. Salome manages to get a few minutes shut eye while the baby
nestles in close
You still there? Mummy strokes her baby gently with one finger while she takes the opportunity to rest in the straw bedding
This
year Bristol Zoo celebrates its 175th birthday and is participating in
the European Zoo Association's Ape Campaign, which aims to raise funds
and awareness of the threats facing gorillas in the wild.
The gorillas at Bristol Zoo are part
of an international conservation breeding programme for the western
lowland gorilla, which is a critically endangered species.
Gentle giant: Salome takes her tiny new addition outside for some fresh air while it clings on to her

200 TONS OF SILVER FOUND ON WWII SHIP
200 TONS OF SILVER FOUND ON WWII SHIP

It was a stormy Second World War night when, on February 17, 1941, three lifeboats abandoned the SS Gairsoppa, a 412 foot-long British cargo ship en route from India to Liverpool, England.
In service of the Ministry of War Transport, the Gairsoppa was laden with tea, iron and tons of silver. Because of bad weather and insufficient coal, she was forced to break away from the military convoy off the coast of Ireland.

As the captain re-routed in emergency for Galway, on the west coast of Ireland, the merchant steamship and its crew of 86 men were hit by a torpedo from a Nazi U-boat. She sank in icy seas within 20 minutes.
Left at the mercy of the winds and waves, two lifeboats soon disappeared. A third boat managed to sail for 13 days, with only one person, second officer Richard Ayres, surviving the long journey to shore.

Now, 70 years after the dramatic sinking, treasure hunters have announced the discovery of the Gairsoppa's intact wreck about 300 miles off the coast of Ireland, at a depth of nearly three miles.
Laying deeper than the Titanic, the wreck is believed to hold the largest haul of precious metal lost at sea.
BLOG: 'Black Swan' Bounty Deal Revealed in Wikileaks Cables
According to U.S. underwater archaeology and salvage company Odyssey Marine Exploration Inc, up to 240 tons of silver, valued at more than $200 million, could be retrieved by next spring.
"We've accomplished the first phase of this project -- the location and identification of the target shipwreck -- and now we're hard at work planning for the recovery phase," Andrew Craig, Odyssey Senior Project Manager, said in a statement.

The wreck was found with the help of an underwater robot which took three and a half hours to descend to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
The robot-captured video footage showed a unique view into the rusty ship, revealing a ladder leading to the forecastle deck, a stern compass, and even an intact toilet.
The torpedo hole in the hull, which featured the red-and-black colors used by the British Indian Steam Navigation Company, was also clearly visible.
Although none of the precious metal was filmed, Odyssey is confident that it is still there.
BLOG: Roman Shipwreck Full of Wine Jars Found
Indeed, video footage showed tea chests, which were reported to have been on board. The account indicated that the Gairsoppa carried 2600 tons of pig iron, 1765 tons of tea, 2369 tons of general cargo and 200 tons of silver ingots and coins.
"We were fortunate to find the shipwreck sitting upright, with the holds open and easily accessible. This should enable us to unload cargo through the hatches as would happen with a floating ship alongside a cargo terminal," Greg Stemm, Odyssey CEO, said.
The company was awarded an exclusive salvage contract by the British government in 2010. Under the agreement, Odyssey will retain 80 percent of the silver's value.

THE WOODEN GIANT COMPLEX

THE WOODEN GIANT COMPLEX
DINESH VORA
(file://dineshvorawoodlarge/ )
This is really world largest wooden sculptures which may amaze you and the
beauty of sculpture is also too good. The power of a wood structure is
defined in a striking new edifice.
A wood canopy of six "parasols" has been erected in Seville, Spain. This
Metropol Parasol, as is formally known, is built of 3,400 wooden parts, is
over 90 feet tall almost 500 feet long. The structure is made of
interlocking pieces of wood held together mostly with glue and with metal clamps.
Costing an estimated 130 million Euros and built over the course of five years,
the structure is designed as an urban icon to draw attention to Seville,
and reclaim an underutilized urban area. Restaurants and shops are embedded
in the towers and below the canopy. A view walkway crowns the top.
(file://dineshvorawoodlarge/ )
The Metropol Parasol scheme with its impressive timber structures offers
an archaeological museum, a farmers market, an elevated plaza, multiple bars
and restaurants underneath and inside the parasols, as well as a panorama
terrace on the very top of the parasols. Realized as one of the largest and
most innovative bonded timber-constructions with a polyurethane coating,
the parasols grow out of the archaeological excavation site into a
contemporary landmark, defining a unique relationship between the historical and the
contemporary city.
