Oarfish | World Longest Bony Fish which is almost extinct



Have you ever seen this creature before?? this creature is oarfish which is also known as the world longest bony fish, but unfortunately their species will extinct soon. so this fish will be categorized in the most rare animal in the world.

The common name oarfish is presumably in reference to either their highly compressed and elongated bodies, or to the former (but now discredited) belief that the fish "row" themselves through the water with their pelvic fins. The family name Regalecidae is derived from the Latin regalis, meaning "royal". The occasional beachings of oarfish after storms, and their habit of lingering at the surface when sick or dying, make oarfish a probable source of many sea serpent tales.

Although the larger species are considered game fish and are (to a minor extent) fished commercially, oarfish are rarely caught alive; their flesh is not well regarded due to its gelatinous consistency.

These fish are not fish in the legends as told by many people, but these fish are fish that actually exist but they are so rare to find that in saying that this is just a legend. fish relative Regalecidae Latin name, this fish came to the surface when it started dying. Oarfish also enter Guinness Book of Records as the Longest bony fish

oarfish a deep-sea fish are almost extinct, this fish is reported to have 8 m long and the longest ever captured reaches 17 meters. So this is the picture of Oarfish | World Longest Bony Fish which is almost extinct

World Most Strangest and Unusual Woman Underwear



Today, the bra has "evolved" from simple underwear into a sexual garment, in order to emphasize the sexual nature of breasts. This can be readily seen, for example, by the terminology used to advertise bras: enticing, hot, ravishing, seducing, etc. It is no wonder feminists symbolically threw their bras into the trash in the 60s. Even today, going braless is sometimes connected with feminism. Still, putting feminism aside, there are actually some health reasons for not wearing bras.

In our previous post we also have posted about the unique bra in japan, that bra was suitable for those who want to get married. and in this opportunity we'll give you another strange and unique bra. like in the left picture. look at that underwear.. it was looks like a body armor for me.. do you think so??

Ok here's World Most Strangest and Unusual Woman Underwear

How the Gold Bar was Made



Gold has been widely used throughout the world as a vehicle for monetary exchange, either by issuance and recognition of gold coins or other bare metal quantities, or through gold-convertible paper instruments by establishing gold standards in which the total value of issued money is represented in a store of gold reserves.

A gold bar is a quantity of refined metallic gold of any shape that is made by a bar producer meeting standard conditions of manufacture, labeling, and record keeping. Larger gold bars that are produced by pouring the molten metal into molds are called ingots. Smaller bars may be manufactured by minting or stamping from appropriately rolled gold sheets.

The standard gold bar held by central banks and traded among bullion dealer is the 400-ounce (12.4 kg) Good Delivery gold bar.

Today we will look at how gold bars are made. They then are going into the national gold reserves of Russia... maybe this is also how they made a golden car in Russia

You’ll see many gold bars. The markings say 99.99% which is the high purity gold bar.

Your baby’s weight and insurance

There's a school of thought that says, "the number don't lie". The assumption is that numbers are facts and facts are always true. So if someone counts the number of times something happens, this gives you a basis from which to estimate the probability of the same thing happening across a population. This is the basis of underwriting for insurance purposes. Teams of highly trained people called actuaries count how many traffic accidents there are. They break it down into the age, make and model of car, the age, gender and profession of the driver, the time of day, the weather conditions, and so on. We happily accept information that, in the first half of 2009, only 16,626 people were killed in crashes, a 7% drop as against the same period last year. We are not surprised when we read this proves that there are 1.15 deaths per 100 million miles driven. The facts are facts and must be true.

Except when we apply the same approach to health insurance, some people get upset. Perhaps it's appropriate to be writing this at Halloween but the same actuaries have been counting the number of people who die from various diseases. For the purposes of this article, one of the main areas of interest has been the question of obesity. There are detailed numbers available across the country showing that people who have a high Body Mass Index (BMI) are more likely than thin people to die of heart disease. The medical evidence proves what are called "comorbidities", i.e. the presence of two or more conditions which, more often than not, suggests a cause and effect at work, or that there's an underlying vulnerability to both conditions. We are not so unhappy to accept a link between drug abuse and mental illness, but mention a possible link between body weight and disease and, suddenly, people are upset. People do not want to hear a link between their lifestyles and the probability of early death.

The reality is that adults with a BMI of 30 and above are either being turned down for health insurance or charged a higher premium. No matter how politically correct it may be to talk about obesity, insurance companies protect themselves by classifying obesity as a pre-existing condition justifying refusal or a premium loading. So welcome to baby Alex, a newcomer to Grand Junction. He's four months old and breast-feeding. He's a happy, bouncing baby weighing in at seventeen pounds. With a length of 25 inches, this puts him in the 99th percentile for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's height and weight charts for babies of the same age. So the health insurance company refused coverage. Their cut-off point is the 95 percentile. When you think about it, this is a dramatic piece of news. It seems you are never too young to be overweight. This is not something to be dealt with through an increase in health insurance rates. This is a blank refusal of coverage. At four months, the actuaries have already decided this baby is too big a risk to insure. The parents are naturally upset. Even though their pediatrician has no health concerns, they are talking about putting the baby on the Atkins diet. They may joke but this may be a real sign of change in the health insurance industry. There is no sentimentality here. After all, the numbers don't lie, except the insurers changed their mind when the publicity hit. Alex is now insured. Some good news to end on.

How to make a claim

The majority of policy holders will go through the year without making a claim. It's possible a major weather disaster could suddenly take out an area, but the actual risks of fires, thefts and accidents around the home are relatively low. Even high-crime areas do not produce excessive numbers of claims. That's why, when the anticipated cost of all the losses is spread among the policy holders, the premiums are not too high. That said, people find the claims process confusing, so here are some simple steps to keep technical problems to a minimum.

1. If a crime has been involved, notify the police immediately and cooperate with the investigation. Your insurance company will want full details of the investigation so keep good notes of the names and contact information for the officers who deal with it. Notifying the police also reduces the risk in the eyes of the insurer that you are making a fraudulent claim. Liaise with the police to get copies of any witness statements, police reports, fire department reports, and so on. Alternatively, be able to pass all the police or fire department contact details over to the insurer.

2. Never delay notifying the insurance company or your local agent that you have suffered a loss. There are a whole series of processes that have to be set in motion to handle the claim. If the loss is minor, your local agent will usually deal with it directly. Anything more serious will go through the claims office. At the earliest possible opportunity, confirm who will liaise with you and how you contact that person.

3. Depending on the circumstances, it's possible that emergency repairs are necessary. Most insurance companies operate a list of contractors approved to make these repairs. Many contractors can bill the insurers directly. If emergency repairs are necessary, get the necessary paperwork to authorize the work from the insurer at the earliest opportunity.

4. Document every aspect of the damage to your property or the contents. That means taking photographs or a video, and keeping a diary of all the events so you can write up a full report for the agent or claims adjuster. The key issues are the value of property damaged or lost, and the cost of repairs. Hopefully, you have kept the receipts for all the bigger ticket items to set a baseline value.

5. Deal with the home insurance company in writing as much as possible, keeping copies of letters and e-mails. If you speak to people by telephone, keep records of the date, time, the person you spoke with and a summary of what was said. This will help you if there is a dispute later on in the claims process.

6. Ensure you are present when the agent or claims adjuster comes to inspect your property and point out all the damage. Again, keep notes of what is said.

7. The home insurance company will make an offer of settlement. Take advice on whether the amount offered is fair. If building work is involved, talk to the building contractor. If you think the insurer is trying to take advantage of you in some way, discuss the issue with the insurance department or commissioner for your state.

You can reduce your insurance premium by yourself

When you possess and maintain a car you undergo severe expenses, but it doesn't mean you have to submit to this. You can reduce your expenses and here are some tips on how you can do this.

Lower coverage on older cars

In case you paid for your car and it's old, think about removing the clash coverage. It pays for damages you cause to your car. Moreover, it makes up a huge part of your insurance expenditure.

Deal with only one insurance provider

Collect all policies you have (car, home, etc.) to one insurer and you'll consequently get a multi-line reduction - up to 10% down from your complete premium.

Increase your deductible

Cut your car premium significantly by increasing the deductible (what you're paying out-of-pocket, when making a claim). The $250 and $500 deductibles disparity is normally very essential and if it's even more substantial when it's between $250 and $1,000 deductibles difference. Consider how much you can spend out-of-pocket before changing your deductible correspondingly.

Acquire a quote before buying

Before you buy a new car, contact your insurer to learn how much you'll have to spend for car insurance. Premiums can significantly change, depending on the model, year and the make of a car.

You should drive cautiously

Safe drivers get a better premium on their insurances. Elude speed violation and don't get involved into accidents to save 5% or even more on your premium. Most insurers will lower your rate inn future each time you drive three years without violations.

Consider driving less

Are you driving oddly? If so, let your insurer know of this. The less time you spend driving, the less accident probability you have. This frequently results in a cheap car insurance premium. Also, tell your insurer if you're a carpooler. There are many ways of getting a discount for low-mileage.

Look for teen driver's discounts

You can spend a pretty penny when trying to insure a teen driver, but you can do things to reduce the costs. Find out if they provide a good-student discount in case your teen has a B-average. Find out if a safe driving course attendance might cause a second reduction. Completing these two can save you from 5% to 25% of your premium.

Secure your car from being stolen

Cars kept in garages and supplied with alarms are less probable to be thieved, and consequently not as costly to insure. Be certain to inquire your insurer in case your vehicle can get a theft-prevented discount.

By the way, did you know that some car insurance providers will grant you a reduction if you scribe your auto's VIN on the windows? You should inquire about this discount as well.

Don't touch upon auto rental and roadside coverage

Probably, your auto insurance is packaged with many extras you don't actually need - roadside help and auto rental insurance can be two of these. Review your policy thoroughly and inquire about withdrawing any unnecessary coverage.

Improve your credit score

Lots of insurers are now employing your credit score as element of the requirements defining your insurance premium expense. To make sure you get the best probable deal, be certain to cover your bills opportunely, and to dispute any credit recording mistakes you locate on the report.

World Tallest Model Ever with 205 cm Height



Eve was known as the world tallest model ever. she has 205cm height. At 2 meters and 5 centimeters, Eve may be an incredibly tall, but she’s also incredibly hot. Yup, I do have a thing for “taller than thou” babes. look at the picture in the left and you can compare how tall is she.. in the left picture eve was posed with 1.62 meters tall Australian models. hmm i think that she will listed in the Guinness book of records next year as one of the tallest woman in the history..

Eve, a successful American model and the tallest model in the world will grace the cover of Zoo Weekly, an Australian men’s magazine, with her extraordinary physique. This the first time a woman of her size appears on the front of such a publication and to better show off her tallness, she posed beside a 1.62 meters-tall Australian model.

Zoo Weekly editor Paul Merrill said they had her bikini custom made, but it was worth it. Bro, I totally agree, great job! Oh, and who said good things come in small packages was so wrong!

An American model measuring 205 cm (she’s about 6′9″) is set to be featured on the cover of Australian magazine Zoo Weekly. You think you’ve seen it all. The model, named Eve, appears on the cover of the magazine’s current issue alongside a 162 cm-tall (5′3″) Aussie model.

On Seinfeld, George Constanza dreamed of one day sleeping with a giant woman. But George was a short, bald fella. To him, tall meant about 5′11″. Eve is truly head and shoulders above the other models out there.

“No other magazine has put a woman who’s nearly seven feel tall on the cover,” editor Paul Merrill said, and he’s probably correct in that assumption. “We had … her bikini specially made, but it was worth it.”





World Most Horrifying Place - The Island of the Dolls



Hey have you ever visit the island of the dolls in mexico?? this place was really creepy.. those place was full with an old dolls which give us more horror environment in that place. those dolls in the island of the dolls reminds me to our previous post about the most horrifying toys ever.. maybe this place was more creepy than those toys.

It really creepy place. how can this island known as the island of the dolls?? hmm it reminds me to the horror movie like the bride of chucky. anyway this place was known as the most creepiest place in the world.

Known as “La Isla de la Munecas”, by the Spanish, The Island of the Dolls is perhaps the creepiest tourist attraction in Mexico. Located within an extensive network of canals, south of Mexico City, the island is a place of mystery and superstition.

Almost every tree growing on the island is decorated with old, mutilated dolls that give anyone the feeling that they’re constantly being watched. The story behind the Island of the Dolls began when a hermit by the name of Don Julian Santana moved here. Although he was married he chose to live the last 50 years of his life alone.

Don Julian used to say he was haunted by the ghost of the little girl who had drowned in one of the canals around the island. Some say he used to fish the dolls from the water because he though they were real children, but the truth is he was collecting and placing them around his home as a shrine for the spirit that tormented him. At one point he even traded home grown fruit and vegetables for old dolls.

Ironically, in 2001 Don Julian Santana was found dead by his nephew, in the same canal that he said the little girl drowned in. Now his Island of the Dolls is one of the world’s weirdest tourist attractions. Some tourists who visited this place claim the dolls whisper and you must offer them a gift upon setting foot on the island, to appease their spirits.
