Aimee Mullins ‘bionic beauty: newly named Global Ambassador for L’Oreal Paris.
Mullins is best known for her athletic accomplishments,  despite a medical conditional that resulted in the childhood amputation of both legs below the knee.  But she is also an athlete, actress, model and motivational speaker, and now a global ambassador for L’Oreal Paris.
“The L’Oreal Paris icons are among the most beautiful women in the world,” said Mullins. “I am very honored to be joining this family. The ‘Because I’m Worth It’ tagline means a lot to me. Beauty is not skin-deep; it can be a means of self-affirmation, a true indicator of personality and confidence.
We are inspired by Mullins and her ability to re-define aesthetic and truly be an “architect of her own identity.”

“Local legend holds that when the fourth pillar breaks, the world will come to an end.”The cave of Kedareshwar, in which there is a big Shivlinga, which is totally surrounded by water. The total height from its base is five feet, and the water is waist-deep.It is quite difficult to reach the Shivlinga, as the water is ice-cold. There are sculptures carved out here. In monsoon it is not possible to reach this cave, as a huge stream flows across the way.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harishchandragad#Kedareshwar_Cave

Also known as altocumulus standing lenticularis, these are stationary, lens-shaped clouds that form at high altitudes. They are included in the middle layer cloud family because the bases of the clouds are stationed between about 2,000 and 7,000 meters. These clouds form when moist air is forced to flow up around mountains and large hills. The water is super cooled and condensed from air below the dew point temperature.Pilots avidly try to avoid these clouds which cause extreme turbulence. The turbulence is caused by a rotor circulation. This circulation forms within the lee of the barriers (mountains or hills) or within a valley. The rotor is a type of lee eddy. The surface wind of the cloud is an opposite direction to the gradient wind. However, because of the large vertical air movements, sailplane and glider pilots favour these clouds which can give great vertical lift and climb to extreme altitudes for gliding.
