Is 8ft Zhao Liang the world's tallest man?

At 8ft tall, Zhao Liang stands head and shoulders above the competition.Which is lucky, as the 27-year-old is in the running to be the world's tallest man. The current title holder is Bao Xishun ('the Mongolian mast'), who measures in at a measly 7ft 9in - a whole three inches shorter.

Record breaker: 27-year-old Zhao Liang is 8ft 0.7in tall, beating the current record holder by more than three inches, Mr Liang's claim came to light when he was admitted to Tianjin hospital, in China, for a routine operation on an old muscle tendon injury to his left foot. Doctors confirmed his height as 8ft 0.7in. But his claim to be the world's tallest man has not yet been verified by Guinness World Records. Mr Liang, who is now seeking official recognition, had been training as a basketball player when he sustained the foot injury over a decade ago.He remained unemployed until 2006, when an art troupe in Jilin province employed him to perform magic tricks and play the saxophone and flute.Mr Liang's parents are of normal height, with his father measuring 5ft 9in and his mother, 5ft 5in.

Hospital staff confirmed Mr Liang's height. He is now seeking official recognition from Guinness World Records His mother Wang Keyun said that her son had a big appetite, eating eight hamburger-sized steamed buns as part of a three-course dinner.'But I am so worried about his marriage, job and his health that my hair has turned white,' she added. Liu Yuchen, a surgeon at the hospital, declared the operation on Mr Liang's foot a success.

Mr Liang currently works with an art troupe, performing magic tricks and playing the saxophone and fluteHe said that he would be able to walk normally in two months' time, but advised against any intense physical exercise.Dr Yuchen said that Mr Liang was in good health and has no complications in relation to his height.

The world's current tallest man is Bao Xishun, who stands at 7ft 9in.

Tallest of them all...But no one has quite reached the dizzying heights of the tallest man in medical history - Robert Pershing Wadlow from Illinois, US, who stood at 8ft 11.1in. Robert Wadlow (1918-1940) - the tallest person in medical history for whom there is irrefutable evidence.

World Oldest And Largest Egg up for Sale

Its mother has long since departed the scene. As, indeed, has its entire species.But this giant egg is a great survivor. It was laid around 400 years ago by one of the great elephant birds of Madagascar.Before becoming extinct in the 17th century, the flightless creature was the world's largest bird, standing 10ft tall and weighing half a ton.World.

Duncan Phillips holds a Giant Elephant Bird of Madagascar egg, which went on sale in London todayThe egg, which is more than 3ft in circumference, was discovered by Victorian explorers and has since been held in private collections.Its current owner is antiques dealer John Shepherd, of Ashford in Kent, who bought the egg after seeing David Attenborough discover one while filming in Madagascar.Mr Shepherd, a trained palaeontologist, has decided to sell the egg, which is on display at the Chelsea Antiques Fair, which runs until Sunday.World. More after the break...

The egg is larger than a rugby ball and measures more than 3ft in diameterIt is expected to fetch at least £5,000. He said: 'The egg is a talking point. It's very eye-catching and it has a wonderful simplicity about it. It stands on its own.'It has a great social history. The Madagascan elephant bird was the only giant bird to exist with man and man caused its extinction.'It's nice to be able to show children today about environmental issues that have been going on for hundreds of years.'

Elephant birds became extinct after being hunted by the natives of Madagascar.Even though the bird weighed about half a ton, it also suffered at the hands of other predators such as pigs who ate their chicks and destroyed their eggs.The flightless bird, the largest to have ever lived, resembled a heavily-built ostrich. It had long legs, talons and stood at more than 10ft tall.But despite its fearsome appearance, it was a herbivore.World Largest Egg.

The bird as it would have looked 400 years ago, and right its skeleton reveals how much larger it was compared to its giant eggs.

Aveda Enbrightenment Skin Care : Review

A lot of you were excited to learn that I was testing out the new Enbrightenment line from Aveda ! It is super nice when my readers are looking forward to a certain post ! Guess you guys are just as excited as I am by the possibility of a " brighter face " ! This will be a detailed post on the line and my experience with it . Read on...


What is Enbrightenment ?

The new Enbrightenment Skin care line from Aveda is a four-step daily regimen plus twice-weekly masque that's infused with powerful plant actives to diminish the appearance of dark spots and discolorations and improve skin’s visible clarity. The products in this line are clinically proven to perform in just eight weeks with most participants seeing a 34% reduction in the appearance of discoloration/dark spots and 52% improvement in visible clarity. So, those are the stats.

What are the products in the Enbrightenment line ?

The Enbrightenment skincare line includes:
• Enbrightenment Brightening Cleanser
• Enbrightenment Brightening Treatment Toner
• Enbrightenment Brightening Correcting Serum
• Enbrightenment Brightening Correcting Lotion
• Enbrightenment Brightening Correcting Creme
• Enbrightenment Brightening Intensive Massage Masque

What can we expect from it ?

• Brightens using a process that reduces the appearance of pre-existing dark spots by breaking them down through exfoliation.
• Helps prevent new dark spots and discoloration with anti-oxidants which help fight free radical oxidation.
• Soothes skin and reduces irritation that can lead to dark spots.
• Illuminates skin with Aveda’s proprietary, plant-derived Skin Brightening Blend.

Cast of Characters :

100% Naturally-Derived Skin Brightening Blend—soothes skin and diminishes the appearance of dark spots with a proprietary blend of scutellaria (a perennial herb), mulberry root and grape extracts.
Ascorbyl glucoside (Vitamin C)—a protective antioxidant that brightens skin and helps diminish the appearance of dark spots and discoloration.
Glucosamine—aids in moisturization; smoothes and exfoliates for a more even skin tone. Derived from plant biofermentation.
Brown algae—helps diminish the appearance of dark spots and discoloration for a more even tone.
Naturally-derived salicylic acid—derived from oil of wintergreen; exfoliates skin for a more even skin tone.
Organic shea butter — hydrates, protects and repairs skin’s moisture barrier.
Rosemary leaf extract — an anti-irritant and antioxidant to soothe and protect skin.
Sodium hyaluronate — aids in hydration, protecting and restoring moisture barrier. Derived from plant biofermentation.
Organic aloe vera leaf extract — soothes skin and acts as an anti-irritant.

My Experience :

I was very interested in trying this line, mostly because my face lacks luminosity. My issue is not with pores or acne but with a lack of overall clarity and unevenness of skin tone. I have been testing out these products for almost four weeks now . The total time recommended is eight weeks at least. However, I have plenty to share on what my skin looks like after four weeks. I see my face everyday , so really all I could tell was that I look a lot more brighter overall. The shallowness in the skin tone is definitely missing and my features look a lot more prominent. This is what I noticed. Without sharing any details on my regime , I asked my friends on what they saw. The unanimous decision was that the redness on my face had drastically reduced; especially on my cheeks. I am over the moon about it ! It is not very often you see products doing stuff they talk about as far as brightening goes. But this line is amazing ! It feels great to see visible results in half the time !

My Enbrightening Routine & Low Down On The Products

Morning, I wash my face with the Brightening Cleanser, follow it up with the Correcting Serum. I am not a toner person so I didn't go for it. It is recommended to follow the cleanser with the toner. At night, I wash with the same cleanser and follow with the Correcting creme. Sometimes I apply the serum after the cleanser on areas that could use some extra help like my chin, sides of the nose. Then I follow it up with the correcting creme. I used the masque only once a week although the recommended usage is twice a week.


The cleanser was my most favorite product from this line. It is truly brightening. The texture is in between a creme and foam cleanser. It comes in a tube and we can take out as much or as little as we want. It cleans my face super thoroughly without drying. This has replaced my favorite garnier cleanser for sure. I have been using the garnier one for over four years now so that's saying something about this !


The Correcting Serum is my second favorite product. It is light, yet heavily moisturizing (I know it sounds weird...that's the best way to explain it) Works great under makeup and has obviously done to my face what it had to do. I used the Correcting Cream as a night cream. It is heavy and there is no way I could wear it during the day without having a box of blotting sheets next to me. I should also mention that it has a stronger scent than the rest of the products in this line. The Intense Massage Masque is like a hydrating masque. You apply, wait for 5 - 10 minutes and wipe it off. Not wash it off, but wipe it off. Somehow I get a feeling this masque did not do much in terms of brightening but was a wonderful hydrating masque.

That's it ! The low down on Aveda's Enbrightenment and my wonderfully enbrightened face ! I really wanna keep up with the eight weeks routine but am itching to try the RX for Brown products. I cant tell you HOW MANY emails I get from women , especially desi women asking me for recommendations on skin brightening products. If you are looking for products to bring about a more clear complexion, reduce some discoloration or just an overall brightness , like me then you should check this stuff out !

That cleanser...oooh - Hot Stuff ! Did I mention the ingredients in the line are 99.7 % naturally derived ! That's exactly how natural I am - 99.7 %. This is so weird. We are bff's, y'all !

Love,

Celebrity Pictures Shilpa Shetty

Shilpa Shetty is an Indian film actress and model. Among very few actresses, Shilpa Shetty was nominated for her first film Baazigar. The following year she delivered another blockbuster hit Main Khiladi Tu Anari where she starred with Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. However, the proceeding years her movies failed to succeed at the box office though she did receive critical acclaim for some of her performances. Then in 1998, Pardesi Babu got released and people noticed her again. Two years after that she finally delivered a super hit, Dhadkan. Since then her career took an up turn. In 2002, she had several releases and films like Hathyar and Rishtey solidified her status as a brilliant actress. In Rishtey she stole the show from superstars Anil Kapoor and Karishma Kapoor. However, it was in 2004 that her performance in Phir Milenge brought her to the top actress list. In 2005, she delivered modest hits like Fareb (where she costarred with sister Shamita Shetty and Manoj Bajpai) and Dus. Shetty has been embroiled in various controversies including suspected Mafia links. In 2006 she was issued with a warrant on charges of obscenity. After taking part in the British Celebrity Big Brother TV show in 2007, Shetty was crowned the winner with 63% of the final vote, after an international racism controversy involving her and fellow contestants Jade Goody, Jo O’Meara and Danielle Lloyd. This was followed by a re-establishment of her status in the film industry in 2007 when she appeared in two successive movies, Life in a… Metro and Apne, with her performance in the former drawing positive reviews. In February 2009 Shilpa and her business partner Raj Kundra became part owners of the Indian Premier League franchise cricket team Rajasthan Royals (current champions) by paying approximately US $15.4 million for a 11.7% stake.
