| Tallest Teen Girl in the World-Brazilian teen | 0 |
A 14 year old Brazilian teen is looked up to by just about everyone around her. Standing at an amazing 6ft 9 in, she is the tallest girl there.
Elisany Silva (Elizane Cruz Silva, Silva da Cruz Elizane) is a Brazilian girl who was born September 27, 1995 and has a height of 206 cm (6′9”) tall. She now ranks among the world’s highest youth.
Being so tall isn’t easy, but it helped her to find a job. She will debut on the catwalk ending the designer’s show in Belem, dressed as a bride.

dumb joke. But seriously, look at the size of that rack! This male elk was bagged by a Utah hunter and has the largest antler rack ever recorded at 478 5/8 points. Shame the elk had to die, though. We're sure he would have got his rack out for the lads if the hunter had asked nicely

New Record: World’s Largest Wind Turbine (7+ Megawatts)
World’s Largest Wind Turbine
The world’s largest wind turbine is now the Enercon E-126. This turbine has a rotor blade length of 126 meters (413 feet). The E-126 is a more sophisticated version of the E-112, formerly the world’s largest wind turbine and rated at 6 megawatts. This new turbine is officially rated at 6 megawatts too, but will most likely produce 7+ megawatts (or 20 million kilowatt hours per year). That’s enough to power about 5,000 households of four in Europe. A quick US calculation would be 938 kwh per home per month, 12 months, that’s 11,256 kwh per year per house. That’s 1776 American homes on one wind turbine.
World’s Largest Wind Turbine
The turbine being installed in Emden, Germany by Enercon . They will be testing several types of storage systems in combination with the multi-megawatt wind turbines.
| World's Largest Solar Tower | 0 |
The world's largest solar power tower just began operating outside Seville, Spain—and it marks a historic moment in the saga of renewable energy. The solar tower PS20, seen above right next to its smaller sister PS10, produced even more power than expected over the course of its trial testing. It's been confirmed that the groundbreaking solar tower generates 20 megawatts of electricity: and it's now powering 10,000 homes with renewable energy.
The tower, built and operated by Abengoa Solar, is one of the more innovative examples of solar technology. Though we've seen similar solar towers before, we've never seen it executed on such a scale.
How the World's Largest Solar Tower Works
Here's how it works, according to Abengoa:
PS20 consists of a solar field made up of 1,255 mirrored heliostats designed by Abengoa Solar. Each heliostat, with a surface area of 1,291 square feet, reflects the solar radiation it receives onto the receiver, located on the top of a 531 feet-high tower , producing steam which is converted into electricity generation by a turbine.
As for the energy benefits? Well, of course there are many: by Abengoa's calculations, the plant will prevent over 12,000 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. And combined with PS10, which generates 10 megawatts of power, both stations combined are a renewable energy force to be reckoned with.
This is yet another sign that the renewable energy revolution is ramping up—Spain has long been a leader in alternative power, and this is yet another clean energy victory. But what's even more encouraging is that Abengoa Solar now has a presence in 70 countries around the world—will we be seeing massive solar power towers springing up all over?
| world's largest indoor water park | 0 |
Whew. I don't know about you, but my head is still swimming after trying to make sense out of all those confusing claims and counter claims about the largest indoor water parks in America and North America. Did you notice, however, that none of the indoor water parks tried to boast that it was the largest in the world? There's good reason for that. There are two parks that, ahem, blow all of the North American parks out of the water.
In second place, at 322,752 square feet, is Ocean Dome in Miyazaki City, Japan. It is the length of three football fields, and has a retractable roof. It appears that Ocean Dome has closed, however.
And in first place--timpani, please--is Tropical Islands in Brand, Germany. Housed in a former zeppelin hangar, the structure spans over 710,000 square feet and is the largest freestanding building in the world. It can accommodate up to 7000 visitors. Tropical Islands offers a variety of attractions in addition to its indoor beach and water rides. Regardless, it easily qualifies as the world's largest indoor water park. Take that, Wisconsin Dells!
| Must watch all this nails’ pics | 0 |
Centuries ago, Chinese women grew their nails up to ten inches long to show that they did no manual labor. Today, in our busy world, we can't sit around all the time to grow nails. We have discovered, over the centuries, that even busy active women can have beautiful nails.
Getting your nails to grow fast is really about taking care of them and keeping them healthy. Nails grow about 1/8 inch per month but what keeps nails from getting long is more about nail damage and poor nail care than about slow growth. Taking care of your nails is about taking care of yourself as the nails are often the first thing doctor's look at to judge a person's general health.
Shape your nails from the outside edge toward the middle, moving the emery board in one direction only rather than sawing it back and forth which damages the nail. Soaking nails in warm, soapy water before pushing cuticles back makes for less scraping on the nail bed (the pink part of the nail).
Condition nails with the same hand cream used on hands.Keeping nail polish on will keep nails from splitting, tearing or cracking. When doing a manicure, choose a nail shape that is wide and more square which is less apt to break, rather than a pointier oval shape. Using an oily nail polish remover will also help.
Eat a balanced diet to prevent vitamin deficiencies that create unhealthy nail conditions such as peeling, splitting or brittle nails. Don't fuss with your nails all the time as over filing can cause weakening and other nail problems.
