New Dubai 23-Seater Superbus Travels At 250km/h
A brand-new, fully electric superbus has been purchased to make traveling between Dubai and Abu-Dhabi more enjoyable. It is designed to be capable of driving 250 km/h whilst carrying 23 passengers! I believe the term “amazeballs” is appropriate here.

The Superbus concept is the work of an astronaut and a former Formula One aerodynamics expert. It was developed at the Delft University of Technology in Holland under the direction of Professor Wubbo Ockels, who in 1985 became the first Dutch citizen in space when he blasted off on board the space shuttle Challenger.
The midnight-blue bus travels at a top speed of 250 km/h, is 15 metres long, 2,5 metres wide and 1,65 metres high and has eight gullwing-style doors on each side.

It is made of lightweight materials including aluminium, carbon fibre, fibreglass and polycarbonate, and weighs just 9 500kg fully loaded. The vehicle would carry passengers in levels of comfort that the team says would be comparable to traveling in a luxury sedan.

The Life of A Google Employee

We know already that working for Google has certain advantages, but the search engine giant takes its employees welfare very seriously. Meals: Employees can consume all they want for free  from a wide range of foods and beverages. Workstation: Each employee has at least two large screens. Innovations: large tablets are available everywhere because “ideas do not come always when you sit at your desk,” says one of Google’s managers. Pool tables and video games are available in many places. On each floor there are private cabin areas where employees can participate in their private business. Technical Support: If employees have computer problems they  come to this place, and while it is repaired, the drinks are freely available. Health: Free professional massage. Relaxation: This room provides massage chairs that you control while you view relaxing aquariums. Ambience: There are many books in the library, even some about programming! For the third consecutive time, Google is the most powerful brand in the world, according to Millward Brown ranking.

Mona Lisa Portrait Made With 3,604 Cups of Coffee

The 3,604 cups of coffee were each filled with different amounts of milk to create the different shades!!

 

The Mona Lisa is definitely one of the most popular paintings ever done, and for quite a while, many different Mona Lisa remakes have been created, such as this fairly new one; it is a huge creation of the Da Vinci painting which was made with 3,604 coffee cups.

 

Seen at the Aroma Festival at the Rocks in Sydney earlier this year, this Coffee Mona Lisa is remarkable for its look and also the creative effort put forth. As one can easily see, the 3604 cups are not all the same shades of coffee, and of course they couldn’t be to create a painting with 2 or more colors. Still, it isn’t just 2 shades either, for it gets into the nitty gritty and mixes a different combination around…black coffee, light coffee, some latte, milk only, and whatever combos that were required. The end result is pretty extraordinary and could really be seen as an artform in itself, even if it recreates the infamous masterpiece of Leonardo.

I definitely take my hat off for the planning that this must have deserved: to analyze the different shades required exactly and their placement. Overall, a great remake of Mona Lisa but in the modern, coffee drinking world of today. Next we would need to see a remake of the Sistine Chapel with coffee.

Bangalore Metro gets poor reviews from senior citizens

Bangalore:  The Metro has been literally engineered to be 'inhospitable' and 'unfriendly' to its commuters, alleged senior citizens' forums, underlining that the upcoming mass transit system has neither built-in any seating arrangements nor any medical facility on the station premises.

According to the complaint filed by the forums, Metro stations have absolutely no seating space and there are not medical facilities available either. At first glance, the Reach I Metro stations connecting MG Road to Byppanahalli, sure lives up to international standards. But a closer look would reveal the darker side of the sparkling stations.

According to sources, the major flaw at Metro stations is that very few commuters friendly facilities are available there. The soon to be inaugurated Reach I of the Metro has six stations on its 6.7-km stretch between MG Road and Byappanahalli. And each station can accommodate more than 40,000 passengers.
Unapologetic of its 'inhospitable behavior', the BMRCL has now announced that people unnecessarily waiting at the stations will be fined.

Sakirin Mosque Istanbul

Sakirin Mosque Istanbul

First Turkish Mosque Designed by A Woman
The Sakirin Mosque opened in May 2009 in Istanbul, Turkey. It’s the first mosque in the country to have an interior designed by a woman, Zeynep Fadillioglu. An interior designer known for jet setting ways, she nonetheless won a commission to redesign the religious structure in Istanbul. She even recruited women to help in the construction. Begun last year, the project was just recently completed. It's a fairly impressive building, subtly blending modern techniques and materials into what might be the world's most conservative design vernacular. It has a gorgeous interior, with a lovely soaring, open feel to it. It’s got lots of gold in the color scheme, but it manages to be tasteful and elegant, instead of looking like Trump Mosque. The unfinished wood accents contrast nicely with the dramatic “dripping chandelier” and the mosque blends modern and contemporary design very well. As with all mosques, men and women worship on separate floors which has sometimes led to cramped space for women. But Fadillioglu has addressed this issue by making the women´s floor equal in both size and beauty.
