World’s Most Expensive 10 Whiskies

Whisky, The Liquid Gold, is a Colorful Character with an Ever-Changing Spirit.
Made with Grain, Water, A Wooden Barrel and A Little Time.

The subject of Literature, Culture and Folklore throughout the World, Finicky Booze-Hounds have long paid a pretty penny for bottles of the most coveted casks.

Pour a finger or two and hit the jump to drink in 10 Bottles of Whisky that truly break the bank.

 

 

10. Ladybank Single Malt $4,700

Rounding out the top of the list is the Ladybank Distillery in Edinburgh, Scotland. Only 300 bottles of the rare Single Malt Scotch are bottled each year, and to obtain one – you have to become a member of the club. The price of admission? – about $4,700 a year.

 

9. The Macallan 1947 Fine and Rare Collection $6,800

This sherry cask Speyside scotch was bottled for Italy in 1962 before it was repackaged for Macallan’s Fine and Rare line of whiskies. The distillery used peat in its kilns because of the scarcity and high price of coal during WWII, the 1947 bottle, so this 15 year old has an earthy quality not present in modern Macallans.This sherry cask Speyside scotch was bottled for Italy in 1962 before it was repackaged for Macallan’s Fine and Rare line of whiskies.

8. Chivas Regal Royal Salute 50 year old $10,000

A swill special enough to be packaged for the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, the Chivas Regal Royal Salute is a 50 year old Scotch with smoky anise and raisin flavors. Only 255 bottles were made, 10 of which were destined for America,where collectors eagerly poured out $10,000 each.

 

 

7. The Macallan 1939 40 year old Fine and Rare Collection $10,125

“Peaty and powerful,” with overtones of sweet toffee and dried fruits, Macallan’s 1939 is a 40 year old first bottled in 1979. In 2002, it was added to the distillery’s Fine and Rare line and re-bottled. It can be found today for around $10,125.

 

 

6. Glenfarclas 1955 50 year old $10,878

Wealthy tasters are warned to overlook this richly scented 50 year old Speyside at their own “peril.” Spicy and silky with a sweet start, this is the oldest batch ever bottled by the Glenfarclas distillery.

 

 

5. Dalmore 50 Year Old Decanter $11,000

Only 60 crystal-cut bottles of this Highland single malt were produced. Filled in 1978, this dark sherry-aged Dalmore has a reputation for being intense and deeply flavored and is considered by many aficionados among the best 50 year olds in the world.

 

 

4. Macallan 55 Year old Lalique Crystal Decanter $12,500

The eye-catching crystal bottle of Macallan’s 55 year old Lalique was based on a 1910 perfume bottle designed by Rene Lalique . Exotic, with hints of peat smoke, the taste is smooth with lingering citrus overtones.

 

 

3. Glenfiddich 1937 Rare Collection $20,000

Rare doesn’t describe it. Only one bottle of Glenfiddich’s 1937 Rare Collection was ever produced, and it just might be the oldest bottle of whisky in the world. It was snatched up at a 2006 auction for a bargain $20,000.

 

 

2. Dalmore 62 Single Highland Malt Scotch $58,000

Only a dozen bottles of Dalmore 62 single malt were corked in 1942. One night in 2005, a man bought a bottle for $58,000, and downed it with five of his buddies.

 

 

1. The Macallan 1926 Fine and Rare $75,000

“Dry and concentrated” – what else would you expect from one of the most expensive whiskies in the world? Help yourself to a little licorice aftertaste. In 2005, a South Korean businessman paid $70,000 for a bottle of Macallan’s 1926, the finest and rarest of the Fine and Rare.

20 Sweet Celebrities Who Wear Spanx

20 Sweet Celebrities Who Wear Spanx

A-LIST CELEBRITIES LIKE GWYNETH PALTROW MIGHT LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE THE PERFECT JIGGLE-FREE BODY, BUT THEY ACTUALLY GET A LITTLE EXTRA HELP BY SPORTING SPANX.

WE HAVE THE DISH ON WHICH SWEET STARS HAVE ADMITTED TO ROCKING THE TUMMY-TUCKING, HIP-HUGGING, LOVE HANDLE-HIDING SHAPEWEAR.

1. Gwyneth Paltrow

Our friends at StyleBistro dish on the celebs who swear by the body shapingwonders: Spanx. Even the super-slender Gwyneth Paltrow uses Spanx to help her squeeze into the slim silhouettes she loves. “There are these great things called Spanx, and they just squeeze you in. It’s terrific! That’s how all the Hollywood girls do it!” Hey, if Gwyneth uses them, sign us up!

2. Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner is as sweet as can be. She could easily keep Spanx’s shape-shifting genius to herself, but instead she shares her secrets with her friends. She says, “You guys have no idea how many friends I’ve turned on to the Bra-llelujah!”

3. Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks loves her Spanx so much, she crows about them any chance she can. From her show to her website, she’s all about Spanx–all the time. She says, “Every celebrity walking down the red carpet. You think she’s all just naturally like ’shooop.’ A lot of them have Spanx on. They’re these tight little tights. You put ‘em on, it sucks you up, baby. No matter what red carpet, I got ‘em on. I look like a granny before I put the dress on, but I put on the dress, and it’s like, ‘palow!’”

4. Kim Kardashian

With all the curve-baring fashion Kim Kardashian wears, it’s no wonder she turns to Spanx for a little help. In fact, she’s gotten so close to her shapewear and says “SPANX are my best friend!” Watch out Khloe and Kourtney, the next episode of your reality series might be “Kim and Her Spanx Take on Paris!”

5. Sienna Miller

Sienna Miller’s bod may look fat free and perfect on the red carpet, but this petite style star claims it’s all about the shapewear. When asked for her secret, she said, “Spanx-it’s all hidden and squashed!”5. Sienna Miller

6. Carrie Underwood

It’s not often celebrities spill on their style secrets, lest someone else copy them. But something like this is too good to keep to yourself! When country croonerCarrie Underwood was asked about the trick to her red carpet look, she said “a stylist and Spanx!”

7. Oprah

If there’s anyone who can be credited with the public acceptance of Spanx, it’sOprah. The Queen of TV gave the brand her blessing and it’s been an uphill climb from there. Oprah says, “I love Spanx, I love Spanx. I wear Spanx every single day. I’ve given up panties. I wear Spanx!” Well, if the Queen says so, it must be good!

8. Jessica Alba

When Jessica Alba squeezed herself into her skin-tight Fantastic Four jump suit, she did it with a bit of help. She says, “I wore Spanx under my Fantastic Four costume. I love them! Spanx are the only thing that smoothes out all of my lumps and bumps.” We’re just glad to know her flawless bod in the film was really the work of killer shapewear!

9. Julia Roberts

Since everyone in Hollywood has jumped on the Spanx train, there’s a new phenomenon rising: Spanx envy. Julia Roberts once gushed about her Access Hollywood host’s post-baby bod, then compared shapewear and said, “she’s got better Spanx than I do.”

10. Emily Blunt

In 2007, Emily Blunt may have won a Golden Globe for her role in Gideon’s Daughter, but she couldn’t stop gushing about her shapewear. She said, “I’m wearing a full body Spanx – I love it!” If we looked as good as Emily did, we’d be gushing about our Spanx too!

11. Cate Blanchett

Even the statuesque Oscar winner Cate Blanchett turns to Spanx to smooth out her post-baby bod. She says she has “a huge array of Spanx in my wardrobe for after my next baby!”

12. Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus is the youngest person on this list and she has some divine theories for Spanx’s origins. Her theory is that “Spanx are a gift from God!” Well, we don’t know about that exactly, but we do know Spanx has women around the world saying Hallelujah!

13. Katherine Heigl

Katherine Heigl doesn’t limit her Spanx-wearing to the red carpet: This star once told Oprah she also wore them under her wedding dress! Spanx, they’re there for you every step of the way.

14. Michelle Trachtenberg

The best thing about Spanx is that some pieces do double duty–they keep you warm and smooth you out! Michelle Trachtenberg says the brand’s tights were a staple on set, “I love Spanx tights! I wore them on the set of Seventeen Again and Gossip Girl!”

15. Rebecca Romijn

Unless they’re a Victoria’s Secret Angel, if a woman just gave birth and claims to have shed all the weight in a month–she’s lying. Rebecca Romijn on the other hand is forthcoming about her use of Spanx, she says, “I’m not pretending to be back to the shape I was in beforehand anyway. I still have a ways to go. We’ve got SPANX underneath almost everything.”

16. Miranda Lambert

Sure, you could hit the gym and not eat. Or you could suck it in and not breath. But Miranda Lambert says, why bother when you have Spanx? She says, “Style secret? Definitely Spanx. That’s every girl’s secret, but most don’t talk about it. You don’t have to think about sucking it in — they do the work for you.”

17. Brooke Shields

Nowadays, something does come between Brooke Shields and her Calvins. She says, “there’s a little thing called Spanx…they suck it all up! They’re the first ones that actually have butt indentations, so they don’t give you uni-butt!”

18. Tina Fey

Spanx have come up more than once with funnywoman Tina Fey. They’ve even made cameos on 30 Rock! Well, she has said, “Spanx. It’s my dream come true.”

19. Dannii Minogue

Dannii Minogue looks like she goes to the gym everyday. But she doesn’t. Instead, she says, “My secret? Spanx! I always wear them on the red carpet – they make my butt into the shape it would be if I was really good and went to the gym and had a personal trainer!” Hear, hear to that and bring on the second slice of cake!

20. Marcia Cross

Marcia Cross loves her Spanx so much for helping her slip into her slim-fitting pants post-pregnancy, she gave them their own drawer! Now that’s devotion.

You are Not Meant to Know These Top 10 Codes

You are Not Meant to Know These Top 10 Codes

Police, Emergency Services, Hospitals and Entertainment Venues etc. where the Public are together in large numbers, use Some Secret Codes to pass information between The Employees.
These are meant to be a Secret as they don’t want to Alarm the Non-Staff Members or Alert someone (like a Thief) to the fact that they have been noticed. 

But there are a Number that are nearly Universal in Application. This is a List of Ten Secret Codes that may prove useful to you in future or at least dispel any curiosity you may have if you hear them.

10. Code Adam

Code Adam was invented by Walmart but it is now an internationally recognized alert. It means “Missing Child”. The code was first coined in 1994 in memory of Adam Walsh, a six-year old, who went missing in a Sears department store in Florida in 1981. Adam was later found murdered. The person making the announcement will state “we have a code Adam,” followed by a description of the missing child. As soon as the alert is heard, security staff will begin to monitor the doors and other exits. If the child is not found within 10 minutes, the police are alerted and a store search begins. Also, if the child is found in the first 10 minutes in the company of an unknown adult, the police must be called and the person detained if it is safe to do so.

9. Wal Mart

WalMart gets its own item on this list because they have a large number of codes that are store specific. Some of their codes should not worry you. A code 300 calls for Security and a code Orange means there has been a cheamical spill. But here are the ones you really need to worry about: Code Red means there is a Fire in the building – get the hell out if you hear this. Worse still, a code Blue means there is a Bomb in the Building. Exit swiftly but don’t run – in case they think you planted it. A code Green means there is a hostage situation and a code White means there is an accident.
The one you are most likely to hear is a code C which is simply a call for customer service (usually meaning that more cashiers are needed). And finally – the most famous WalMart code… well, it’s so famous it needs its own item.

8. Inspector Sands

Inspector Sands (or Mr. Sands) is a code for Fire in the United Kingdom. Obviously it would not be appropriate for the service staff of a store to announce a Fire publicly, so this code is used to alert the appropriate staff to the danger without upsetting customers.
The wording differs from place to place and in the Underground network a recorded “Inspector Sands” warning is automatically triggered by smoke detectors. In some shops you will hear the code used in a phrase such as “Will Inspector Sands please report to the men’s changing room” if the fire is in the men’s changing room.

7. Code Bravo

Code Bravo is the code phrase for a General Security Alert at Airports. Unlike most of the codes on this list, the code is meant to cause alarm – but not through knowing what it means. When this alert is raised, all of the Security Agents will begin to yell “Code Bravo” in order to frighten the passengers.
This is supposed to make it easier for the agents to locate the source of the problem without interference from the general public. For those of you who travel on ships from time to time, you may like to know that Code Bravo means “Fire” and it is the most serious alert on a ship – if it burns, you either get off or burn with it. Ships also often use sound signals, such as 7 short and 1 long, meaning “man the lifeboats”.

6. Code Oscar

On a ship, a Code Oscar means someone has gone overboard. If the ship has to maneuver erratically to handle the situation, it must also send out blasts on the signal so that other ships nearby are aware of the fact that it is about to change its course.
It should be noted that ships don’t have an internationally standardized set of PA signals and they can differ from place to place, but this is a fairly commonly used one. And a code Delta can mean that there is a biological hazard, though who knows what that might be on a passenger ship. And finally, Code Alpha often means “Medical Emergency”.

5. Doctor Brown

“Doctor Brown” is a code word often used in Hospitals to alert security staff to a threat to personnel. If a nurse or doctor is in danger from a violent patient or non-staff member, they can page Doctor Brown to their location and the security staff will rush to their aid.
In some hospitals, code Silver is used to refer to a person with a Weapon and code Gray can mean a violent person without a weapon.

4. Code 10

A code 10 in Hospitals can refer to a mass casualty or serious threat (such as a Bomb Alert), but the majority of people experiencing a code 10 will do so for another far more common reason.
A “code 10 authorization” is made by a merchant when he needs to call a credit card company to enquire about your card. This means that he is suspicious of you or your card and doesn’t want you to know it while he gets it checked out. When the credit card company hears that they have a code 10, they will ask a series of yes/no questions to the merchant in order to find out what the situation is. This will often result in the merchant keeping your card if they believe it is safe to do so. This type of call often results in a call to law enforcement.

3. Time Check

Time Check (usually taking a similar form to – “Time Check : The Time Is 12:00″) can be a code in stores for a Bomb Alert. It alerts the staff to follow the bomb procedure, which can be to either try to locate any suspicious packages or to prepare to get the hell out. If you hear a time check in a store, it is probably a good idea to start moving toward the exit.
Surprisingly and shockingly, the majority of stores that use this code actually expect their staff to search for the bomb. Certainly an aspect of the job that the majority of teenaged checkout operators weren’t expecting when they signed up, it is sure.

2. Professional Codes

In computer support, a variety of codes can be used when referring to a customer. One of these codes has become fairly well known on the internet – PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair). But there are a variety of others that are lesser known.
One of these is used when reporting a fault which has been fixed – “The fault was a PICNIC” (problem in Chair, not in Computer) or “ID 10 T Error” – ID 10 T is of course, IDIOT.

1. Ten Codes

The Ten Codes are a list of codes used by Law Enforcement Officers in the United States. They are available on the Internet which would make them seem inappropriate for this list, but a large number of Police Departments have tried to have them made illegal for distribution, so they deserve a mention. The codes were developed initially in 1937 and were expanded in 1974.
The California Police use a variety of Extra Codes which predated the “Ten Codes”. For example, a 187 (one eighty-seven) means Homicide. In the ten codes system, a 10-31 means that a crime is in progress, a 10-27-1 means Suicide (the 10 is usually not said when it is a three-number sequence), and a 10-00 (ten double-zero) means “officer down – all patrols respond.”

Lady Gaga Launching Her Career in Bollywood

Lady Gaga Launching Her Career in Bollywood

"Fame Monster" is attacking India.

Lady Gaga and her team have launched a formal strategy to spread her brand in the booming, Bollywood-crazed India market, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The team has tapped the founders of Desi Hits, a New York-based media company that produces and distributes entertainment content targeted at South Asians all over the world, to help build her brand, particularly in India but also in the large South Asian diaspora.

"The reason I'm going to India now is because I can," said Lady Gaga, who has the nickname "Fame Monster" because of her candid admission of wanting to spread her music and name across the globe.

"I didn't have the money or the resources before to travel and bring all of my things with me and reach an entire new territory of fans."

The push into India is part of the massive marketing and social-media machine the Lady Gaga team has created around the release of her third album, "Born This Way."

The campaign includes partnerships with companies including Starbucks Corp. and online giveaways of remixes, videos and tracks. It has inspired companies such as Amazon.com Inc. and Best Buy Co. to find creative ways to leverage the popularity of Gaga's music to their benefit.

For example, Amazon.com sold the album for just 99 cents to promote its new online music storage service, a move that led to such strong demand that Amazon's servers were overloaded.

Lady Gaga is only the latest US entertainer who have turned to Desihits to help crack the India market. Others include Britney Spears, 50 Cent, Akon and Enrique Iglesias. India is an appealing target for entertainers, as it has 700 million people under the age of 30.

Desi Hits, which also has offices in the UK and India, promotes artists' music on Desihits.com, links them with influential producers and DJs, and helps de-mystify the commercial culture for the artists and their record labels.

Desi Hits co-founder Anjula Acharia-Bath said that unlike in the US, India's mass music industry is largely driven by the film industry, so the hit songs of the day are predominantly from the mainstream movies. If an international artist wants to penetrate 'mass' pop culture, she said, navigating Bollywood is essential.

Acharia-Bath arranged for Lady Gaga's hit single "Born This Way" to be remixed by two sets of producers: The Bollywood team of Salim and Sulaiman and Culture Shock, a Canada-based band and production team.

Those two remixes were released last month and are available only as videos on YouTube and Desihits.com. This week, two more South Asian-influenced remixes of her song "Judas" -- mixed by Salim and Sulaiman and another popular producer, Panjabi MC -- were also released on Desihits.com.

Desihits.com attracts 1.5 million unique visitors a month, mainly youths and young adults. The website generates about a half million impressions of its content a day on Facebook, and reaches a total audience of 20 million people across the web, mobile and television platforms each month.

Amazing Rotating Tower

Amazing Rotating Tower

The Dynamic Architecture Building, which will be constantly in Motion changing its Shape, will be able to generate Electric Energy for itself as well as for other Buildings. 

 

48 Wind Turbines fitted between each Rotating Floors as well as the Solar Panels positioned on the Roof of the Building will produce Energy from Wind and the Sunlight, without any Risk of Pollution.

The total Energy produced by this inbuilt ‘Power-House' every year will be worth approximately $ seven million.

Each turbine can produce 0.3 megawatt of electricity, compared to 1-1.5 megawatt generated by a normal vertical turbine (windmill).




Considering that Dubai gets 4,000 wind hours annually, the turbines incorporated into the building can generate 1,200,000 kilowatt-hour of energy.




As average annual power consumption of a family is estimated to be 24,000 kilowatt-hour, each turbine can supply energy for about 50 families. The Dynamic Architecture tower in Dubai will be having 200 apartments and hence four turbines can take care of their energy needs.




The surplus clean energy produced by the remaining 44 turbines can light up the neighborhood of the building.




However, taking into consideration that the average wind speed in Dubai is of only 16 km/h the architects may need to double the number of turbines to light up the building to eight.




Still there will be 40 free turbines, good enough to supply power for five skyscrapers of the same size.




The horizontal turbines of the Dynamic Architecture building are simply inserted between the floors, practically invisible. They neither need a pole nor a concrete foundation. In addition, they are at zero distance from the consumer, which makes maintenance easier.




The modern design of the building and the carbon fiber special shape of the wings take care of the acoustics issues.




Producing that much electric energy without any implication on the aesthetic aspect of the building is a revolutionary step in tapping alternative energy sources.




Furthermore, this energy will have a positive impact on the environment and economy.

10 Places on Earth You Don’t Want to Live

10 Places on Earth You Don’t Want to Live

The World is a Giant Jigsaw Puzzle, spotted with both exquisitely Beautiful and potentially Dangerous Places.
While you may dream of spending a Lifetime in some of the True Paradises-on- Earth, you should be equally wary of stepping up in some Real Hell Spots for your own safety.
But not everyone is fortunate enough to get a Cozy and Safe Home and there are Places on Earth where people are actually living on the Edge of Peril.
Here are Top 10 such Nightmarish Places on Earth where you would never want to Live.

1. Dharavi, Mumbai, India

Sprawling over 175 hectares between Mahim and Sion, Dharavi has emerged as the largest slum of Asia inhabiting a population exceeding 600,000. Dharavi has its rival in Orangi Town in Karachi, Pakistan that has a notorious filth and expanse. Dharavi presents a brighter picture as a cheap pocket in the midst of expensive Mumbai where you could stay for as low as 4 US dollars rent per month.

Dharavi is an abode for various small-scale industries like pottery, embroidered garments, leather and plastic goods. Unbelievably the total net income of the residents of Dharavi amounts to almost 650 million US dollars. But Dharavi is no paradise – its inadequate water supply and toilet facilities get worse during the monsoon floods and the unhygienic environment of Dharavi poses serious threats to public health issues.

2. Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Rocinha in Portuguese means Small Ranch. The largest favela (basically meaning shanty town) in Rio De Janeiro. Situated between the districts of Rio de Janeiro, is the largest Slum or Favela in South America. Posed on a hillside within one kilometer of the beach, Rocinha originated as a shanty to transform quickly into a modern slum neighborhood. You will find it better off than many shanties because of its brick buildings, sanitation, plumbing and other urban facilities.

What makes Rocinha a potentially dangerous place to live is the prevalence of a violent drug trade. This leads to endless tussles and encounters between the drug peddlers and the police, giving rise to a dangerous ambiance. The population of 100,000 has a poor economic state and high mortality rates. What is more, Rocinha being built on steep mountain slope is susceptible to landslides, rock falls and floods.

3. Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya

Kibera means Forest in Nubian, is the home for a million people, which earned notoriety for being the biggest slum in the whole of Africa. Most of the population here are tenants with no rights living in mud-walled shacks owned by landlords who have vacated Kibera. Most of the population is African Muslims, who huddle up eight per shack, often sleeping on the floors.

Just 20% of Kibera has electricity and no regular supply of clean water. The dam water that people use is the root to cholera and typhoid, aggravated by poor sewage condition. There is widespread menace of AIDS and the total absence of government medical facilities. What worsens the general livelihood of Kibera is the availability of a cheap alcoholic drink called Changaa.
Faced with rampant unemployment, most of the slum-dwellers resort to Changaa early in life and grow into criminals, drunkards and rapists. The problem is aggravated by the availability of cheap drugs and tendencies of glue sniffing. The result is the rising rate of unwanted pregnancy among girls of all ages who invariably turn to abortion. Some charities and churches are working towards the betterment of the condition.

4. Linfen, China

Located right at the center of Shanxi Province of China coal region, Linfen is one of the most polluted cities in the world. The air is thick with dust and smoke to a degree that hampers visibility. The three million people who live in Linfen take regular doses of arsenic rich water, further polluted with fossil fuels and poisonous gases through the air they breathe. You can actually catch a lasting stink when you step in Linfen with overflowing sewage everywhere.

The river flowing by Linfen has its water thickened with oil. No wonder! The inhabitants using this water have high occurrences of cancer. When you look at the trees around the Linfen factories, they present a sad withered picture. It is the last place on earth that you would think of sending someone, even your worst enemy.

5. Kabwe, Zambia

The lead and cadmium accumulations in this former British colony have skyrocketed since their discovery in 1902 when Zambia was valued for a rich lead mine. Although the mines have closed and no smelters are operational now, Kabwe residents have faced the threat of lead poisoning through decades.

Blood tests in the children have revealed lead concentrations exceeding 5-10 times the normal limit that could turn fatal any day. Only recently, the World Bank has allotted funds for tackling the problem.

6. Chernobyl, Ukraine

Talking of life-threatening pollution and poisoning, nothing could beat the nuclear reactor accident record set by Chernobyl that has left about 5.5 million people facing the threat of thyroid cancer. The fallout that occurred in April 26, 1986 has led to the leakage of nuclear radiation 100 times more pronounced in volume and effect than that of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki explosions.

It is a horror that thousands of Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian children living close to the damaged plant still cannot escape the radiation impact.

7. Dzerzhinsk, Russia

Situated beside the Oka River in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast of Russia, Dzerzhinsk is named after the Russian leader Feliks Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky. Right From its inception, Dzerzhinsk has remained a chemical industry hub and has been producing chemical weapons for Russia. It has been labeled one of the worst polluted cities of the world with a staggering death rate.

In Dzerzhinsk, the average life of men is just 42 years and women 47 years. Environmentalists attribute such high mortality rate to the ceaseless production of organic chemicals like toxic dioxins, hydrogen cyanide, lead and sulfur mustard. The phenol and dioxin contents in the Dzerzhinsk waters surpasses the normal limit by seventeen million times.

8. Cubat, Paulo, Brazil

The city of Cubat extending over 142 square kilometers is more appropriately known as the Valley of Death for its precarious living conditions. It has a high air pollution level that has led to the destruction of forests over the surrounding hills and birth of children with congenital organ defects.

The life threatening pollution took a new dimension in 1984 when an event of oil spill burnt down the town, killing almost 200 people. Only recently extensive steps worth $1.2 billion are being taken to improve the damages caused by organic pollutants. Despite such measures, it is quite impossible to clean the soil and underground water from the spreading tentacles of pollution thus making Cubat=E3o unfit for staying.

9. Bassac Apartments, Cambodia

One of the architectural jewels of Cambodia, the innovative apartment complex designed in the early 1960s by Lu Ban Hap.

The 300-metre-long Basaac Apartments were built due to the town planning director Lu Ban Hap=92s initiative to put up a low-cost social housing project in the 1960s. However, this government-financed housing project has been the home to 2,500 refugees since 1979, when its legal tenants vacated the property because of the onset of decay. The structure made of concrete and brick has now given way to dangerous gaps in between the reinforced concrete walls marked by the ingrowths of parasitic plants. The building can collapse any time burying alive its 2500 residents.

10. Mogadishu, Somalia

A rusty and bullet-ridden Coca Cola sign gives a telling welcome for visitors to the volatile city of Mogadishu.

 

Mogadishu, an advanced former port has been witnessing the 17-year tussle between rival military camps since the fall of the government in 1991. It turned into the most chaotic and anarchic city of the world, marked by civil unrest and insurgencies. Such disturbances caused its original inhabitants to flee, leaving Mogadishu to be controlled by military factions. Only recently, a new federal government has taken up the reins of control and is trying to re-establish law and order.
