World's Most Expensive Christmas Tree

World's Most Expensive Christmas Tree, Yes we're gonna meet Christmas in about 2 weeks later, have you set your Christmas tree or any other Christmas object in your house? Here's a cool and bizarre story about the most expensive Christmas tree that costs $11 Million!!.

An $11 million Christmas tree may seem incredible, but the simple fact that it was put up in the lobby of a 7 star hotel in United Arab Emirates makes it a little more believable. According to Hans Olbertz, general manager of the Emirates Palace Hotel, this is the world’s most expensive Christmas tree.

But what makes a Christmas tree worth $11 million. Well, it appears its immense value is given by the fact that instead of traditional ornaments, the tree is decorated with very expensive jewelry draping around it’s branches, along with a few gold and silver bows and some lights.

The artificial Christmas tree standing at over 13ft tall had an initial value of only $10,000, but the sum kept rising as gold, pearls, diamonds, sapphires and other precious stones provided by Style Gallery, were being added. There are now 181 jewels decorating the world’s most expensive Christmas tree.

Maybe the idea of an $ 11million Christmas tree wouldn’t seam that out of the ordinary if you knew that the Emirates Palace Hotel is offering a seven days package at the price of “just” $ 1million, which includes a luxurious car and a private plane at the disposal of the guest.

The owners of the luxurious Abu Dhabi hotel are planning to contact the Guinness Book of Records about their creation. Here's the most expensive christmas tree ever.

Self Sterilizing Door Handles

Self Sterilizing Door Handles, like we know that a door handle is the place of germs, Door handles are dirty, dirty things. Especially ones that you find in public places, where hundreds, if not thousands of hands touch it on a daily basis. And while these door handles may get cleaned every night (hopefully), it’s just not enough to make sure that germs aren’t being spread about everywhere, getting people sick. That’s why we need a door handle that sterilizes itself. And why it’s not surprising that when someone designs a concept for one, they win a concept design award.

The self-sterilizing door handle was designed by Choi Bomi, and the design won a Red Dot Design Concept award. It’s a pretty simple, straight-forward idea. Door handles are dirty, so we need a way to make sure that they’re clean. Using UV lights, When the door handle is not being used, the UV lamps turn on, and start sterilizing the handle while it’s not being used. As soon as someone touches it, and turns it, then the UV lamps turn off. So, when the handle returns to its resting position, the lamps turn back on, and start killing bacteria and germs. A great idea, to say the least — so let’s hope it actually happens.

It seems that the design of self sterilizing concept will be a great idea for a public place.

The Oldest Facebooker Lillian Lowe

The Oldest Facebooker Lillian Lowe - Facebook as the biggest social networking sites really takes a big attention from many people such as this cyber granny. this 103 years old woman from Tenby, Pembrokeshire, south Wales, may be a grandmother and great-grandmother at 103, but she is still young-at-heart and her online adventure on Facebook is proof of that. Well I think she's hardly find her schoolmate on facebook today.

Her grandson Steve is the one responsible with wetting her up with a Facebook account and he’s also the one who lent her his iPad, but she is planning to replace it with a newer version, seeing that she’s also up to date in terms of gadgets, as she admits herself “At the moment I use my grandson’s iPad but I am very hopeful to get one of my own, there are some great new models out at the moment.”

The reason that got her whole cyber adventure started was her wish to keep in touch with her seven grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. Lillian thinks Facebook can be useful for other grandparents as well “I can recommend it for any grandparents to keep in touch with their family with ringing all the time.”But although she is very impressed with all the different things one can find on-line, she still considers it a terrible waste of time.

She now has 34 “friends” on her Facebook account but the most active one, by far, is her 10-year-old great grand-daughter.

One can say the young-at-heart grandmother,whom her family call “Supergran”:, has seen pretty much seen it and done it all: She was born in 1907 and can still remember the news about the sinking of the Titanic, by the time the First World War started, she was already in school and she most certainly “was there” when computer industry made its first steps – “Apple 1″ computer was launched in 1976, followed by the “Osborne 1″ in 1981, first version of Windows in 1985 and she’s now not just witnessing but also using the IPad. As she says “I think virtually everything has been invented during my time. What I particularly like now is this Google Earth.”

Her experience may be the reason she finds herself unimpressed with things happening nowadays, “I have seen a few things over the years, so nothing really shocks me these days anyway.”

The Oldest Cat in Britain - Blackie

The Oldest Cat in Britain - Blackie, Well this is the first time i heard about a cat could survive after 24 years old!! While the average age of cats is 12-15 years. Here's the story of Blackie, the oldest cat in brotain.

The leading candidate for Britain’s oldest cat, Blackie is a cat who will turn 24 in January of next year, the equivalent of 118 in human years. Quentin Shaw, 49, is the proud owner of Blackie and he’s had her since forever. He got her and her brother 24 years ago, and named them Tan and Blackie from the spots they each had on their heads – one was brown, the other one black . Unfortunately Tan died at the age of five, after being hit by a car.

Food and care were not the only ingredients that lead to Blackie’s longevity, but also the love of her owners., who believe love and care is definitely one of the main factors that help pets live a long life. Even though she’s no longer able to see in the dark, hunt mice and she hasn’t got stability in her paws, as she keeps falling over when brushed, Blackie hasn’t given up on life. She’s been in and out of the vet clinic a few times, but she’s a real fighter, and always managed to get back to full health.

Blackie is now living with her owner, Mr. Shaw, and his family, fiancee Kim Lanham and children Scarlet and Tom, in Thurnby, Leicestershire. “I think that with animals, when they’re loved, they live longer. She’s part of the family. She’s got a lot of attitude still but she’s amazing with the kids and good natured (…)every time we go to the vet she bounces back. She’s certainly a fighter.” said Miss Lanham.

Blackie’s story has even caught the interest of Daniel Fileds of The Guinness Book Of Records, as there is no current record holder of the title for Britain’s Oldest Cat. Hestia, who died in September at the age of 21 years and 11 months, was the last oldest living cat.

Blakie’s age certainly is impressive, considering the average life expectancy for cats is 16 years.
