Very brave firemen
Esplanade des Invalides: a new anti-CPE demonstration today turned even more violent than Saturday. A couple of photographers have been beaten up by provovateurs, a few cameras stolen, and large riots erupted in different places of this huge esplanade. At least 3 cars have been burnt as well as part of a building. Here, the firemen are trying to flip one of the cars in order to get access to the reservoir and extinguish the fire.Published in German MAX magazine, April issue.
KL Tower
A trip to Kuala Lumpur will simply not be complete without a visit to the Menara KL!Located in the heart of the Golden Triangle, Kuala Lumpur's business and entertainment district, the Tower is perched at 421 metres/1,403 feet. Bukit Nanas itself, where the tower is built, is 94 metres above sea level. The Tower is the second tallest tower in Asia today.The Tower complex comprises a 3 level basement. The lower ground floor houses the control/maintenance room and a water reservoir for fire fighting. At the upper ground floor, an 86 metres long pedestrian mall adjoins the main entrance featuring a reflective pool in its centre. The facilities include outlet shops, a mini-theatre, an amphitheatre, a fast-food restaurant and a prayer-room.Two lifts provide access to the top of the tower in approximately 1 minute and have a capacity of 800 persons per hour. Visitors will find an observation platform on the first level and a revolving restaurant on the second level. The whole tower head is cladded in glass (double-glazed with gas infilled) arranged in the traditional Islamic form of the "muqarnas". With its unique architectural heritage, Menara KL has become a prime tourist attraction in the capital city.
Mawi - Malaysian Famous Singer
Asmawi bin Ani, better known as Mawi is a current no. 1 Malaysian male singer and the winner of Akademi Fantasia 3 in Malaysia. He came to Akademi Fantasia in 2005 as a raw talent who found it awkward to even take a few dance steps. Within three months, however, he became the nation's hottest celebrity. After winning Akademi Fantasia by a landslide, he became such a nation-wide phenomenon in Malaysia. His almost overnight rise to fame has often been compared to another famous Malaysian singer and icon, Siti Nurhaliza. However, his critics predict that Mawi will end up just being a "one hit wonder", following the career trends of all other previous winners of Akademi Fantasia
A Reddish Colored Giant Squid
Giant squid, once believed to be mythical creatures, are squid of the Architeuthidae family, represented by as many as eight species of the genus Architeuthis. They are deep-ocean dwelling animals that can grow to a tremendous size: recent estimates put the maximum size at 10 meters (34 ft) for males and 13 meters (44 ft) for females from caudal fin to the tip of the two long tentacles (second only to the Colossal Squid at an estimated 14 meters (46 ft), one of the largest living organisms). The mantle length, though, is only about 2 meters (7 ft) in length (more for females, less for males), and the length of the squid excluding its tentacles is about 5 meters (16 ft). There were reported claims of specimens of up to 20 meters (66 ft), but none had been scientifically documented
The Greatest River - Amazon River
The Amazon is the greatest river in the world by so many measures; the volume of water it carries to the sea (approximately 20% of all the freshwater discharge into the oceans), the area of land that drains into it, and its length and width. It is one of the longest rivers in the world and, depending upon who you talk to, is anywhere between 6,259km/3,903mi and 6,712km/4,195mi long.
For the last century the length of the Amazon and the Nile Rivers have been in a tight battle for title of world's longest river. The exact length of the two rivers varies over time and reputable sources disagree as to their actual length. The Nile River in Africa is reported to be anywhere from at 5,499km/3,437mi to 6,690km/4,180mi long. But there is no question as to which of the two great rivers carries the greater volume of water - the Amazon River.
GREAT !! ILLUSION
Step 1 : If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink.
Step 2 : If you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green.
Step 3 : Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period of time, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating.
** If you can't see movement on the image, please click the image to view in a new page **
Yes, our brain constructs reality. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear. This should be proof enough that appearances are often illusions.
In fact, there is no movement at all, only pink dots that are showing up and then disappearing.

AMAZING TREE!! WITH A 'FACE' ON A FROND..
KEPALA BATAS: A “scary-looking face” on a pinang tree has been drawing curious crowds to a village house in Kampung Paya near here.
FACE OF ATTRACTION: The Pinang tree in Kampung Paya, Kepala Batas, with the face imprinted on the frond.The face, which looks as though it is imprinted at the base of the frond, was spotted by owner Miah Majid, 60, last week.
As word about the tree spread, streams of visitors have been flocking to the kampung to look at the tree, which stands at 7.25m. The image faces east.
Miah said it was the second time an unusual shape had appeared on the 10-year-old tree.
The first formation was in the shape of an eye, she said.
“The frond will probably last another two weeks. By then it should shed naturally. So far, nobody has asked to keep the frond,” she added.
A few people were seen gathering at Miah’s backyard to look at the tree when The Star visited the place yesterday.
Village elders advised onlookers to “just look” and not to make comments.
