However this brings smile on the environmentalists who see a greener America consuming less of the imported fuel. Now with lesser carbon emissions, respiratory diseases, transfer congestions, the experts are estimating it as a lesser demand for new roads and highway now.

And for the cities like Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco etc, the percentage is 25 to 35. This crash will surely give life to our dying planet.

Make way for another jewel in the crown of Dubai’s architectural triumph with Burj Khalifa Tower rising up to 2716.5 feet of height with about 26,000 hand cut glass panels. Showing low to China’s skyscraper which stood tallest till 4^th of Jan, this structure has created the ripple. But the win doesn’t come that easy for Dubai, with many floating plans by the talented architects all over the world; this magnificent building will fall short to 975 meter scraper in Miami.

Thought the Miami project is still hunting for investors, the developer Guillermo Socarras is in talks with the Federal Aviation Administration for tower’s gigantic height. This super scraper would be of 160 storey making it 183 metres taller than the Burj. Fondly called as “Miapolis”, it is believed to stand as a city within a city. This plan of Watson Island include an amusement park, a splendid observatory, classy restaurants, about 1000 apartments, loads of shopping space, office area and a lavish hotel with 792 rooms.But with the financial issues wandering above the project, no one knows the time of birth for this tall kid.  Till then, the newly inaugurated Burj Khalifa can enjoy the ‘Tallest’ status.

Every season is accompanied with a bunch of customized diseases. But with winters, the spreading becomes much easier for the germs because of many favorable conditions. The cold weather is the most appropriate temperature sector for them to grow and roam around. And with kids being an easy target for them adds up to our worry lines.

However, following on few easy and simple precaution lines, we can control the infection by upto 50%. The studies show that on an average, a kid brings his hand close to nose and mouth almost 30 times a minute. So, keeping his hands clean and germ free is the premier step. Disinfecting many key surfaces including remote control, telephones or mobiles, refrigerator door handle, kitchen faucet and many others, can be the next stepping stone towards keeping away the cold and flu. Using an alcohol based hand gel also helps greatly and by using an anti-virus tissue when you sneeze, kills the germs from every sneeze, preventing the spread.

Another habitat for these microscopic germs is your woolens and other rugs which should be shown sunlight often. Apart from all these, feeding self with vitamin-C rich diet works magic with your immunity system.

Even after leaving behind 9 years, this devastation is something no one would ever leave behind. Though it might be dormant in our memories, but wiping it completely off our minds could never be possible. With every passing year, we are presented by a memo which reminds us of the disastrous day one way or the other. Though, some memorial projects take only months, few large ones need years to compile the entire effect. And in this line, stands the contribution of architect Michael Arad, who has been working on a project since last 7 years now.

Michael is one of those talented architects who was chosen to design the twin fountain which would grace the new park at the world trade center site. Named as the “Reflective Absence”, this centrepiece would mark its presence on the 10th anniversary of the attack. A mock-up of these was lately tested at the Brooklyn’s Navy Yard with two gigantic walls representing the corner of one of the fountain. The fountain consists of tiny ribbons of constant flowing water to portray the move of time. The water falls below by 30 feet in a pool which never fills up.

Attracting each year more than 1.4 million tourists, Alcatraz and Muir Woods are the favourites amongst the visitors. And thus to take further privilege of  the opportunity, the National Park Services is thinking of modifying a building on Alcatraz which is of historic importance into a luxury hotel for the travellers.

However, one should not expect anything moving sooner, this one is a future proposal which might take 20-30 years. And as the financial statistics are not estimated, the work shall begin only if adequate funding is available. This one of a kind project, wish to know public’s opinion on this and thus has planned for various hearings to get an outlook.

Proposing many idea in this concern, the park service is thinking to rehabilitate the historic building or of establishing a hostel into a historic building. It is even considering the option of utilising the house guard building for night stays giving the travellers an amazing view of Berkeley and East Bay hills thus encouraging visitors to camp on island.

Anyways, the idea are numerous and all unique and interesting, but until a firm decision is taken, we all need to be patient. But with such a scenic view, everyone would love to be there atleast once.

Botox, which is now a common word amongst the not so old group and has the power to hold back ageing symptoms, is on the targets of terrorists.  The markets are now being flooded by a heady clone of this real chemical which is hard to chase and identify.

The US officials and various security experts fear the existence of a factory which produces botulinum toxin illegally. And it is supposed to be used in producing a cheap duplicate for the beauty drug in a hazardous manner. Backed up by the name of Al-Qaeda, it is also sensed to have many labs across various countries which buy and sell sham drugs only to raise money for their illegal activities. On legal terms, only eight worldwide companies have been given the rights to produce the drug botulinum toxin type-A, also known as Botox but this duplication has alarmed the securities for another terrorist attack. This surely proves that the brains behind terrorism are not of a common genre, they think way ahead on terms of mass destruction.
