Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Christ the Redeemer is a statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The statue is 120 ft tall and has a weight of 635 tones. It is now a part of the new Seven Wonders of the World. It is located in the Corcovado Mountain which is at a peak of 700 meters i.e. 2,300 feet in the Tujuca forest National Park overlooking the city. The statue is made of concrete and soapstone. As a symbol of Christianity, it has become an important icon of Brazil, with Jesus Christ appearing to open his arms wide to embrace the entire city below.
It was in 1850’s when for the first time it was suggested to make the statue of Christ on the top of Carcovado by a catholic priest called Pedro Maria Boss. The request of the finance was sent to Princess Isabel to build this huge religious mountain. Initially, the idea was not thought to be a very good one. It was only in 1921, when a need and a proposal of a large landmark were thought about and finally the statue was made by the catholic Circle of Rio. During this time, in order to gain more publicity, a group organized an event for a week where donations were taken from the public and signatures were taken for those who were in favor of the making of the statue. Most of the donations came from the Brazilian Catholics. A lot of suggestions were given; some suggest that the cross of the Christ should be represented along with Christ, or an idol of Jesus with a globe in his hands. But finally, a statue of Jesus with open arms was chosen. Construction of this religious symbol took nine years to complete, beginning in 1922 and ending in 1931. The brilliance of its engineers was revealed when it was struck by lightning in February of 2008 during an electrical storm. Several trees were felled by that storm, but the statue was left unscathed, owing to the fact that it was made with a top layer of soapstone, which is a good insulator.

The smallest country in the world

Vatican City is the smallest city-state in the world, with only 880 people, but is one of the most visited. This is mainly because it is in the middle of Rome and the 14.4 acres are packed with some of the world's most beautiful churches and museums. Although Vatican City is an independent country, it is completely surrounded by the city of Rome. This center of Roman Catholicism is a must-see. It is bounded by the Tiber River and stretches west (about 1 200 m long and 800 m at its widest point).Crossing from the city of Rome over the Tiber, the first building you see, at the end of Via della Conciliazione, is St. Peter’s Basilica (Michelangelo designed the dome and his Pieta is exhibited within). Plan at least 3 (or more) hours in St. Peter’s: After walking around inside be sure to go to the roof for the view (it’s usually hazy so you might just want to go up there for the pretty sunsets) visit its in-house museum and see the grotto below (where St. Peter and John Paul II, among other popes, are buried). The baldequino over the main altar built with bronze looted from the Pantheon is an interesting example of baroque design.

World's Smallest Plant

Wolffia is the world's smallest plant on earth. Its commonly known as Watermeal and only presence of 7-9 species of flowering plant.Wolffia species are free-floating thalli, green or yellow-green, and without roots. Wolffia species are composed of about 40% protein, about the same as the soybean, making them a potential high-protein human food source. They have historically been collected from the water and eaten as a vegetable in much of Asia.

Why those are having flu has difficulties to taste foods?

Its due to the blockage of nose which is unable to detect the smell of foods and affect the salivary gland from stimulation of saliva. Since the saliva production is low, its may not filled the tongue completely and unable to detect the taste from the taste buds. Thus, this having the difficulty to taste the foods. :)

how does the position of planets affect humans ?

Planets especially moon's position will affect us. Since the Moon is orbiting the Earth, as usual. The Moon, being a massive body, has a gravitational field. But that gravitational field isn't uniform. It's stronger closer to the Moon, and weaker further from the Moon. That means the part of Earth nearest to the Moon experiences a greater gravitational pull, and the part of Earth furthest from the Moon experiences a weaker gravitational pull. This lopsided gravitational pull causes the region nearest to the Moon to bulge outwards (towards the Moon), and also causes the region furthest from the Moon to bulge outwards (away from the Moon). As the Earth rotates, the point on Earth's surface which is closest to the Moon traces a circle around the Earth. That's why there are two oceanic tides each day. These tidal forces affect land and water alike. However, since water is a liquid, the water sloshes around a lot more than the land .You are affected by tidal forces as well, because the blood at your vessels is also liquid.
It affects blood pressure producing higher level of pressure and in stimulating the blood circulation, so the sexual craving is excited. Also some western countries suffer much from the increase in the rate of crimes and assaults in nights and days of the full-moon. Because of blood pressure which has the tendency to affects the mentality of someone till make them feel the angerness and other negative thoughts which will leads to misbehave such as mysterious murders ...!
