15 Crore Rupees Mobile

At $3,164,000, iPhone 3GS Supreme is the single most expensive phone in the world!







Here?s one of those phones I?ll never have. Scrap that, it?s one of those phone I?ll never see in real-life. It?s the Stuart Hughes-made/customized iPhone 3GS Supreme, where the ?Supreme? part comes from its price, which is a whooping $3,164,000 (1.92 million GBP). Yap, that?s more than 3 million US dollars, which is enough to make almost 2 miles of a highway.

Feature wise, it comes with 271 grams of 22k gold, 136 flawless color F diamonds for the bezel, 53 diamonds for the logo, and a single 7.1 carat diamond for the home button. All this comes in a chest that is made out of single block of Granite, in Kashmir gold with the inner lined with Nubuck top grain leather, weighing 7kg.

As for the real specs, the Supreme ?version? is identical to the original iPhone 3GS, and honestly folks, if someone you know wants to buy this, tell him/her to Colorware its iPhone and put the rest of the remaining $3.163.800 in some charity. That makes much more sense?

The 10 Tallest Waterfalls Of The World

There is no wonder that there are many waterfalls all over the world and major part of our world is covered in water, interestingly in modern lexicon, there is not definition of waterfall but we can say that “waterfall is a result of landscape, means whenever a land or a part of land start interrupting with the water across the landscape it comes up in the form of waterfall”. There is a big number of waterfalls which are famous by dint of their distinguish attributes, some are popular for being tallest in the world and many are very well-known for being positioned at the highest mountains.
10. Browne Falls
Browne falls are on number 10 of the world’s tallest waterfalls, its sheight is 836m (2744 feet), and it is a kind of cascade with tallest single top 244m (800 feet), if its width is measured , it is something like 12m( 40 feet), this waterfall is located Fiordlands National Park, south island of New Zealand.

9. James Bruce Falls
James Bruce Falls are located in North America means Canada at the height of 2755 feet. Though it is not at a great height, yet it is on the number 9, in the line up of tallest waterfall of the world, it starts out from the snowfield Princess Louisa Inlet.

8.Pu’uka’oku Falls
Pu’uka’oku Falls are the 8th largest waterfalls in the world, they are positioned on the Molokai( an island of Hawaiian) and their height is 2756 feet, another good things is that the tallest sea cliffs are associated and linked on the north cliff of Molokai which increases the impressiveness of Pu’uka’oku Falls.

7.Baläifossen
Baläifossen is a wonderful waterfall, is situated in Norway at the height of 2788 feet. As its height describes that it is the seventh tallest waterfall of the world, which spills into the waters of Osafijorde. These falls are filled with pure water, but a bad thing is that the water gets dried out in the summer season in them.

6.Vinnufossen Falls
Vinnufossen is the sixth tallest waterfall of the world which is located in Sunndal, Norway and its height is 2,822 feet.

5.Yumbilla, Catarata Falls
Yumbilla, Catarata is the fifth tallest waterfall of the world, and it is taller than Catarata Falls, its height is, 896 meters (2938 feet) ,this waterfall is located in amazons, Peru. And the volume of water is also less here, so this waterfall is not an impressive location to capture in the picture, and just overall drop of 600m is visible.

4.Olo’upena Falls
Olo’upena Falls are the fourth tallest waterfall of the world and it is very popular waterfall located in, Oloupena, Hawaii, in USA. Their height is 2953 feet, they are wonderful waterfalls and are covered with mountains from the both side and there is greenery around the location. This waterfall is very thin so known as Tiered.

3.Tres Hermanas, Cataratas las Falls
Tres Hermanas, Cataratas las Falls are 3000 feet in their height, and they are the third tallest waterfalls of the world which is located Rio Cutivireni in Peru.

2.Tugela Falls
Tugela Falls are on number second in the queue of tallest waterfalls of the world, they are found in the Drakensberg (Dragon’s Mountains) in the Royal Natal National Park in KwaZulu-Natal Province, Republic of South Africa. Its height is (3,110 feet). They are god gifted waterfalls which water is very pure and safe to drink.

1. Angel Falls
Angel Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls of the world and it has different names in different languages, it is located in Canaima National Park in Venezuela. In Pemon language this waterfall is known as Parakupa-vena or Kerepakupai merú (means waterfall from the highest point) and in Spanish Angel Falls is called Salto Ángel.

This is a fact that waterfalls enhance the natural beauty of the nature and there is a big list of waterfalls that are well-known by dint of their distinguish attributes some are positioned at the pivot of highest mountains and many are considered as the tallest waterfalls of the world

The Deadliest Art in the World......Making Bacterian Sculptures....

Luke Jerram makes the deadliest art in the world. His subjects have caused pain and suffering for hundreds of millions of people throughout history. They are infectious, they are resilient, and they are everywhere.


THE DEADLY ARTIST - LUKE JERRAM
- Born in Stroud, England and now living in Bristol UK with his wife Shelina and two children Maya and Nico (Bellic?)
- Diagnosed with dichromatic colorblindness at an early age
- Led to obsession with the mysteries of human perception, both its idiosyncratic nature and its innate limitations
- Where does the visual perception of an object end and the memory of it begin?
- His goal: to explore the tension between a viruses’ devastating beauty and their devastating impact on humanity

HOW TO MAKE THE DEADLIEST ART IN THE WORLD
-The Collaborators: University of Bristol virologist Andrew Davidson, glassblowers, Kim George, Brian Jones and Norman Veitch
- Took inspiration from high-resolution electron microscopic images, creating large, painstakingly accurate glass sculptures of viruses and bacteria such as HIV, E. coli, SARS, and H1N1 (Swine flu)
- Took over 5 years of development and research
- Jerram and his collaborators created glass genomes, carefully placing them on tiny pedestals within what would become viral envelopes
- They then closed up the tops before adding final touches of spikes and glycoproteins, which were shaped and melted on while keeping the whole work at roughly the same temperature

THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM
- The question of pseudo-colouring in biomedicine and its use for science communicative purposes, is a vast and complex subject. If some images are coloured for scientific purposes, and others altered simply for aesthetic reasons, how can a viewer tell the difference?
- How many people believe viruses are brightly coloured? Are there any colour conventions and what kind of ‘presence’ do pseudocoloured images have that ‘naturally’ coloured specimens don’t? How does the choice of different colours affect their reception?
- Our belief about what viruses and bacteria look like have undoubtedly been born out of media depictions of them. images of viruses are originally taken in black and white on an electron microscope and then they are coloured artificially
- Jerram is exploring the tension between the artworks’ beauty and what they represent, their impact on humanity
- The problem is that you end up with the public believing that viruses are these brightly coloured objects. These are often portrayed in newspapers as having an air of scientific authenticity and objective truth, whereas actually that isn’t the case. You can end up with some images that potentially promote fear
- With 3D sculptures, there’s also a tangibility you can’t get from flat pictures. There are diagrams of a virus and then there are photographs of a virus from electron microscopes. The purpose of a diagram is to communicate details in a very clear and concise way, whereas the scientific photos of viruses do something different. And a 3D representation makes you look at it in yet another, different, way

HOLY ROBOT



The installation 'bios [bible]' consists of an industrial robot, which writes down the bible on rolls of paper. The machine draws the calligraphic lines with high precision. Like a monk in the scriptorium it creates step by step the text.

Starting with the old testament and the books of Moses ‘bios [bible]’ produces within seven month continuously the whole book. All 66 books of the bible are written on rolls and then retained and presented in the library of the installation.

‘bios [bible]’ is focussing on the questions of faith and technical progress. The installation correlates two cultural systems which are fundamental for societies today – religion and scientific rationalism. In this contexts scripture has all times an elementary function, as holy scripture or as formal writing of knowledge.

In computer technology 'basic input output system' (bios) designates the module which basicaly coordinates the interchange between hard- and software. Therefore it contains the indispensable code, the essential program writing, on which every further program can be established.
