  • Welcome to the world’s most expensive hotel suite — a stunning two-storey palace in the sky overlooking the Las Vegas strip, costing $100,000-a-night. The Palms has just unveiled the jewel in the crown of its ongoing $690million refurbishment of the casino resort — the Empathy Suite, a Sky Villa designed by and featuring the works of world-renowned English artist Damien Hirst, aged 53. The Empathy Suite sprawls over 9,000 square-feet and two floor and features a butterfly-motif mosaic tiled pool overlooking the strip, a vast collection of art including any original works by Hirst, a 13-seat curved glass bar top encrusting medical waste art, along with two lounge and theater areas that accommodate up to 52 guests. There’s also Hirst-desined furniture, drapery, carpeting and serpentine-shaped Italian leather sofas with the butterfly motif. Above the centre bar is Hirst’s Here for a Good Time, Not a Long Time (2018) art piece – a marlin skeleton in a vitrine and taxidermy marlin in another. The opulent dining area seats eight people, while both master bedrooms come complete with California-King beds, massive closets and bathrooms with double sinks and theatrical lighting. The villa also boasts a powder room, a salt healing room, a fitness center and two massage rooms, while the outdoor area features a pool and panoramic views of Sin City. A stay at the suite — which is reserved for millionaire high-roller gamblers, also involves a highly personalised and exclusive guest experience while at the property, including 24-hour butler service, over-the-top welcome amenities and a private behind-the-scenes art tour of the suite and entire property. There’s also a chauffeured car service throughout the stay and A-list access to Palms’ premier amenities such as KAOS Dayclub & Nightclub, the Pearl Concert Theater and the Palms’ world-class recording studio and a $10,000 credit to use at the resort. The Sky Villa contains six original works from Hirst including

Host Suzanne Godley teamed up with Airbnb to create this unique and nostalgic stay in time for the Spice Girls reunion tour. The accommodation is made from the original Union Jack bus from the Spice Girls' 1997 movie Spice World, which was then converted into a luxury apartment. The Spice Bus will be situated in the heart of Wembley Park, London, where guests will be able to stay overnight from June 14. The recently renovated living area features pink Union Jack cinema chairs below a ‘Girl Power’ neon light installation and is fully stocked with vintage 90s magazines and CDs to help recreate the 90s era. With bold interiors, potted plants create a fresh homely feel downstairs while bright colourful scatter cushions surround the central seating area, providing a comfy place for guests to relax and spend time with each other. Upstairs there’s a dressing and the adjoining bedroom, which is fitted with a striking animal-print carpet, provides comfy bedding for three guests who get to call the Spice Bus home for the night. Suzanne, who is a Spice Girls superfan, said: “When my boss mentioned that he was considering buying the Spice Bus I was desperate to be a part of its renovation. We’ve worked hard over the past few months to turn the bus into a home, in keeping with its legacy, and I’m so excited to open it up to the public with the support of Airbnb. Being part of this project has been like a dream come true and I can’t wait to meet other Spice Girls fans through this experience.”. 15 May 2019 Pictured: Spice bus converted to Airbnb.

  • June 4, 2017 - Dhaka, Bangladesh - Bangladeshi weaver weaves Benarasi sari (Woman Wear) on a traditional wooden hand weaving loom at Mirpur in Dhaka, Bangladesh. On June 05, 2017.Benarasi Sari has an ancient history beginning from the Mughal Empire in the 16th century. It is known that it originated from Benaras, a northern city of India. Benarasi Sari found its way to Bangladesh, when the Muslims migrated from Benaras into Bangladesh. It was these migrants that started the practice of making Benarasi Sari at Mohammadpur and Mirpur in Dhaka.The texture of a Benarasi fabric can be either light or heavy. The silk is first put into rollers that twist a single silk thread with another to thicken its texture. This is then heated and put into a Tana where it is made into a bundle. The threads are then dyed elsewhere. The threads are stretched out in a single room made of rusted tin and worn out bamboo with barely any ventilation or lighting. In another similar room, a weaver weaves the designs on a sari. A single Benarasi Sari that is 21 feet in length and 3.5 feet in breadth can take a week or longer to be completed.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Battling a rare health condition that has left half of her face disfigured, a 24-year-old Indian woman says she tries to live positively despite jeers by people. Sasikala K, from Chennai, the capital of India’s southern Tamil Nadu state, suffers from plexiform neurofibromatosis, which has taken a toll on her face, affecting the right side. However, she admits her confidence has taken a hit of late. Sasikala, who prefers to live boldly and does not cover her face, likes dressing up and wearing make-up, much like girls her age, though she finds it difficult to execute them owing to her complications. She was only six-months-old when her parents noticed a part of her face swelling. However, they waited for another one and a half years to get medical help. “I have always been very bold, however, with age, the condition progressed and no one has come for help,” she says, adding, “I am slowly losing my confidence.” According to medical experts, her condition affects the face and craniofacial region of the body. It can also affect the neck and other parts of the body, depending upon the host. The family had not considered the deformity to be a big issue until Sasikala turned six and the face started to swell at an unusual rate. Now, almost 18 years later, she finds it difficult to execute daily chores like eating and brushing. The 24-year old is an employee at an embroidery unit run by a trust. Sasikala took it up as a means to support her family after completing her diploma in nursing and unable to land a job in the hospitality sector. Kumar, 54, Sasikala’s father, says his daughter has been under the knife four times, but it has only gotten worse. “She was six when doctors operated upon her for the first time,” Kumar says. “The result was satisfying and she looked normal,” he added. However, the joy was short-lived, as the tumours grew back again. Kumar says upon approaching the doctors again, he was told that it could be controlled but wou

  • September 7, 2017 - Unspecified, Nicaragua - In the Chichigalpa community, an epidemic of Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown origin (CKDu) is now living in the Nicaraguan Pacific Coast. This disease mainly affects the young men who work in the cane plantations (although children and sick women have also been found). Some scientists attribute the disease to the use of pesticides and fungicides with toxic substances (such as glyphosate) and to extreme working conditions (high temperatures, excessive physical effort, dehydration, hours under the sun, without right to somba spaces). This is a reality throughout the Central American coast, Nicaragua is the most affected country. According to the Pan American Health Organization, between 2005 and 2009, 3,442 men died. The emergency situation has led the communities to settle in organizations such as the Asociación Chichigalpa por la Vida (ASOCHIVIDA), made up of former workers and widows of former workers of Ingenio San Antonio (founded in 1890) owned by Grupo Pella, famous Ron ''Flower of Caña'' and of ethanol.

  • August 7, 2017 - Kolkata, West Bengal, India - Kolkata Dock System’s 118-year old Swing Bridge,The bridge, built by London-based West Wood Baillie & Co, as early as 1890, connects the turning basin with main Kidderpore Dock No 1. The original design allowed for the railway track to be held on the middle of the bridge, but this alignment was subsequently changed to avoid sharper curve at either end of the track. The original bridge carried a clear roadway of 23.33 ft for both slow and fast moving traffic. But not anymore. On re-commissioning of the bridge after repair work, undertaken by Jessop & Co , no heavy vehicular traffic will be allowed. The repair cost is estimated at Rs. 1.5 crore shared equally between Kolkata Port Trust, South Eastern Railway and West Bengal Government.

  • August 17, 2017 - inconnu - It looks like something out of a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster. But the worlds first ever 3D hologram table is no product of a special effects department.It has been created by a tech company in AustraliaMaker Euclideon has built a working prototype and are now looking for investors.Up to four people can walk around a holographic image and interact with it wearing only a small set of glasses.It's set to go on sale in 2018 is all goes well..Hologram tables has been featuring in science fiction films for years including the Star Wars series.Past attempts to make them a reality have stalled because the holograms were computer-generated stereo images, similar to those created for a 3D movie. Using this technology, a group of people standing around the table all see the same perspective.The image does not change as they move around the table so breaking the illusion.But boffins at Euclideon, based just outside Brisbane, say they have created a table where users move around and see what ever is projected in a changing perspective.Euclideon's multi-user hologram table can give up to four users at a time the experience of looking at a hologram that they can walk around and interact with, without the need for bulky augmented reality headgear.The firm’s table only requires users to use a small pair of motion-trackable sunglasses, very similar to a pair of 3D movie glasses.The table is able to track the position of each of eye of anyone wearing the glasses.It then builds a custom image for each eye. Up to eight separate images can be sorted out from what looks to the naked eye like a jumble of coloured light.This lets users view holograms l the way they are depicted in films such as Star Wars .Using the company’s own software processing developed originally for gamers called UD, gigantic city maps or CAD renders can be presented quickly and in detail..That would make the hologram tables ideal boardroom presentation tools.It could also b

  • June 18, 2017 - London, UK - London, UK. 18th June 2017. Nicola Curtis who was also elected by residents to be a member of the Resident Engagement Panel speaks about the managed neglect of the estate and reveals that Lambeth Council have now said they will no longer engage with her and Karne Bennett despite their having been elected by estate residents.  They are continuing the campaign to save the Central Hill Estate, passed for demolition by the council despite the almost unanimous vote of residents for plans to refurbish rather than demolish and the plans by Architects for Social Housing which would acheive the increase in density desired without demolition. THe estate was planned by borough architect Ted Hollamby as a living community and was built to exceptional standards and was remarkably successful, with a number of original residents from the 1970s still living there and wanting to continue to do so. When it was built the Labour council believed that nothing was too good for the working people and the estate is still in remarkably sound condition despite a deliberate process of managed neglect - like that which had resulted in the Grenfell Tower disaster - by Lambeth Council to over the past 20 or so years to promote its demolition.
