Tallest man of the world

Mr. Leonid Stadnyk Ukrainian has now officially become the world's tallest man standing at a towering 8ft 5ins in tall.

Measuring an impressive 8ins taller than the previous record holder, Mongolia's Bao Xishun, it has long been suspected that Stadnyk should hold the official title of the world's tallest man.

Now the 37-year-old former veterinarian has always refused to be officially measured for the Guinness Book of Records as he hates his height and didn't want to be famous.

The towering giant who lives in Podoliantsi, a tiny village in Ukraine has called his height 'God's biggest punishment for me' and refuses to look in the mirror.

His extraordinary growth spurt started at the age of 14 after surgery on a benign brain tumour stimulated his pituitary gland, which is responsible for generating the hormones that boost growth.

Previously at school, the Ukrainian was one of the smallest boys in his class and he used to be known to fellow pupils as 'titch'.

But his condition known as acromegalic gigantism, saw him grow so fast that suit trousers which once fitted him perfectly were 12 inches too short within two years.

He now sleeps on two beds joined together lengthwise, weighs nearly 32 stone, and has 17-inch feet. His gargantuan palms measure more than a foot in diameter.

Smallest bird of the world

Many people of the world want to know about smallest bird in the world.But which bird like this?Here is an answer:

The Bee Hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) is a hummingbird, and the smallest of all birds. It can be found in Cuba (where it is called the zunzuncito), including the Isle of Youth. Its mass is approximately 1.8 g, and it is about 5 cm (2 inches) long.

The male has the pileum and fiery green throat, iridescent gorget with elongated lateral plumes, bluish upper-parts, and the rest of the underparts mostly greyish white. The female is green above, whitish below with white tips to the outer tail feathers.

Female bee hummingbirds are bluish green with a pale gray underside. The tips of their tailfeathers have white spots. Breeding males have a reddish to pink head, chin, and throat. Non-breeding males look like females, except that their wingtips have blue spots. The female lays only two eggs at a time and they are bright orange with pink spots.

The bee hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world. Its body is about the size of a large bee. Like all hummingbirds, it is a swift, strong flier. It also can hover over one spot like a helicopter. The bee hummingbird beats its wings an estimated 80 times per second — so fast that the wings look like a blur to human eyes. During courtship displays the male may beat his wings at 200 times per second.

The brilliant, iridescent colors of the bee hummingbird's feathers make the bird seem like a tiny jewel. But the iridescence isn't always noticeable. It depends on the angle at which a person looks at the bird. The bird's slender, pointed bill is designed for probing deep into flowers. The bee hummingbird feeds mainly on nectar. With a tongue shaped like a long tube, the bird sucks up nectar — and an occasional insect or spider — just as if it were using a drinking straw. In the process of feeding, the bird picks up pollen on its bill and head. When it flies from flower to flower, it transfers the pollen. In this way, it plays an important role in plant reproduction. In the space of one day the bee hummingbird may visit 1,500 flowers.

Using bits of cobwebs, bark, and lichen, the female bee hummingbird builds a cup-shaped nest that is only about 1 inch in diameter. She lines the nest with soft plant fibers. In this nest she lays her eggs, which are smaller than coffee beans. She alone incubates the eggs and raises the young.

Masjid-i-Jahan Numa

The muslim world (out of india) has very interest to know about the Masjid-i-Jahan Numa commonly known as Jama Masjid of Delhi, is the national mosque of India. Founded by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan.This is the same emperor who builder of the Taj Mahal.This great mosque completed on 1656 AD, it is one of the largest and best-known mosques not only in India but in the world also. It is also at the beginning of a very busy and popular street/center in Old Delhi.

Masjid-i-Jahan Numa means "the mosque commanding a view of the world", and the name Jama Masjid is a reference to the weekly principal pray observed on Friday (the yaum al-jum`a) at the mosque. The courtyard of the mosque can hold up to twenty-five thousand worshippers. The mosque also houses several relics in a closet in the north gate, including a copy of the holy Qur"an written on deer skin.
The mosque was the result of the efforts of over 5,000 workers, over a period of six years. The cost incurred on the construction in those times was 10 lakh (1 million) Rupees.

Shah Jahan built several important mosques in Delhi,Agra.Azmir and Lahore. The Jama Masjid's floorplan is very similar to the Jama Masjid at Agra but the Jama Masjid is the bigger and more imposing of the two. Its majesty is further enhanced because of the high ground that he selected for building this mosque. The architecture and design of the Badshahi Masjid of Lahore built by Shah Jahan's son Aurangzeb in 1673 is closely related to the Jama Masjid in Delhi.

CONSTRUCTION
The courtyard of the mosque can be reached from the east, north and south by three flights of steps, all built of red sandstone. The northern gate of the mosque has 39 steps. The southern side of the mosque has 33 steps. The eastern gate of the mosque was the royal entrance and it has 35 steps. These steps used to house food stalls, shops and street entertainers. In the evening, the eastern side of the mosque used to be converted into a bazzar for poultry and birds in general. Prior to the 1857 war of Indian independence1857 , there was a madrassah near the southern side of the mosque, which was pulled down after the mutiny.

The mosque faces west. Its three sides are covered with open arched colonnades, each having a lofty tower-like gateway in the centre. The mosque is about 261 feet (80 m) long and 90 feet (27 m) wide, and its roof is covered with three domes with alternate stripes of black and white marble, with its topmost parts covered with gold. Two lofty minarets, 130 feet (41 m) high, and containing 130 steps, longitudinally striped with white marble and red sandstone, flank the domes on either side. The minarets are divided by three projecting galleries and are surmounted by open twelve-sided domed pavilions. On the back of the mosque, there are four small minarets crowned like those in the front.

The dome of the Jama Masjid.
Under the domes of the mosque, is a hall with seven arched entrances facing the west and the walls of the mosque, up to the height of the waist, are covered with marble. Beyond this is a prayer hall, which is about 61 meters X 27.5 meters, with eleven arched entrances, of which the centre arch is wide and lofty, and in the form of a massive gateway, with slim minarets in each corner, with the usual octagonal pavilion surmounting it. Over these arched entrances there are tablets of white marble, four feet (1.2 m) long and 2.5 feet (760 mm) wide, inlaid with inscriptions in black marble. These inscriptions give the history of the building of the mosque, and glorify the reign and virtues of Shah Jahan. The slab over the centre arch contains simply the words "The Guide!"

The mosque stands on a platform of about five feet (1.5 m) from the pavement of the terrace, and three flight of steps lead to the interior of the mosque from the east, north, and the south. The floor of the mosque is covered with white and black marble ornamented to imitate the Muslim prayer mat; a thin black marble border is marked for the worshippers, which is three feet long and 1 ½ feet wide. In total there are 899 such spaces marked in the floor of the mosque. The back of the mosque is cased over to the height of the rock on which the mosque stands with large hewn stones.

Every day thousands over muslims are praying here.

The killer of worlds most beautyfull river

Once a very young girl dancing all time with laugh.The Indian Government tided her and killed her by made
of farrakka barrage.A 3km long dam located 10 km from the Indian side of the border between India and Bangladesh, in the state of West Bengal.This is the Padma now making cry the millions poorest persons of Bangladesh.

The Padma River the downstream of the Ganges more precisely, the combined flow of the Ganges and the Jamuna after their confluence at Goalandaghat.. In Bangladesh the Ganges is popularly known as the Padma from its point of entrance at Manakosa and Durlabhpur unions of shibganj upazila, nawabgonj district. This name (Padma or Podda) is sometimes applied to the Ganges as far up as the point at which the Bhagirathi leaves its rightbank, and according to the Hindus, it takes the sanctity of the Ganges with it. It is hydrographically more correct to use the name Ganges to refer to the river up to its confluence with the Jamuna or Brahmaputra and the downstream after the confluence as the Padma. The Padma is also sometimes wrongly referred to as the Ganges. The river between Aricha and Sureshwar (Chandpur) is therefore best called Padma.

look the Padma after farrakka barrage:

The Padma is 120 kilometres long and from 4 to 8 km wide. The very important Goalandaghat-Chandpur steamer route is mostly on this river. Near Tepakhola, 14 km from Goalandaghat, the small Faridpur Khal distributary takes off from the rightbank. Fifty kilometres further down the Arial Khan takes off from the rightbank. Fourteen kilometres further downstream the Lohajang river falls into it at Lohajang upazila on the leftbank, and the Kristanagar river branches off from the opposite side. A few kilometres from Lohajang, the Shosha Khal and the Naria Khal take off from the rightbank, join up and as one stream falls into the Arial Khan south of Madaripur. The Padma joins the Meghna 5 km from Sureshwar in a maze of shifting shoals and new born land from river. The Lower Meghna is actually a continuation of the joint flow of the Padma and the Meghna.

Beauty of The padma:
Beauty of padma is incredible.World famious nobel award winner writer Rabindranath On the 16th May, 1893 wrote in Bangla a letter to Indira Debi, his niece from his Kuthibari in Selaidah, Kushtia: "Often I wonder, will I ever be reborn under this sky studded with so many stars? If yes, will that be the same quiet evening in the same corner of Bangladesh where I could lie back on my cozy bed - satiated and carefree in my jollyboat floating on the placid Gorai river? I will perhaps never again meet this beauty of evening in my reincarnated life. Scenario would be changed. And then will I be in the same frame of mind? Who knows? Well, I might meet many an evening like this, but none of those, I am sure, would be like the tranquil evening that so lovingly alighted upon my chest embracing me with tufts of her dense hair spread out wide!?I am not sure whether any lady from Bangladesh will ever be crowned as a Miss World for her physical beauty. But, if there were a competition for a Mr. World who always visualised a lady in anything - a unpredictable river hurrying fast, an evening looming up or a patch of dark cloud with silvery frills floating in the azure sky - the golden crown would go to Rabindranath Tagore.

The river Padma, to Tagore, was such a lady. Tagore even made his wife Mrinalini's life simply cheerless by his obsession with the river Padma so much so that Mrinalini compelled her husband to leave Selaidah for Calcutta on the excuse of their daughter's impending marriage with the hope that he would never come back to the Padma; after all, no lady wants her husband spending most of his creative time for anything or anybody outside of home. But this crazy guy bounced back to Padma time and again whenever there was a chance he could steal.

The Padma was all in Tagore's life, dream and imagination. He fell in love with Padma when as a child visiting Selaidah he first found the frolicsome river behaving like a whimsical damsel--sometimes quiet, composed and drowsy and at other times restless, furious and hungry. It was in Selaidah, once a silent and remote hamlet, where Rabindranath as an adult first made an eye contact with Padma sleekly dressed in her red-bordered off-white silk 'shari'. All his life Tagore was infatuated with Padma. One year before his death while musing over his bygone days he wrote: "Selaidah with Padma, always skimming and smooching each other, was the only venerable place where first as an adolescent and later as an elderly I immersed myself to drink my literary nectar.?

But Tagore souls also crying now becuse the Indian killed her lady (The Padma) by Farrakka barrage.

Shah faisal Mosque

There are many nice and lager mosque in the world.But the Shah Faisal Masjid in Islamabad, pakistan is among one of the largest mosques in the world.. This is a national mosque of Pakistan.. It is a popular masjid in the Islamic world, and is renowned for both its size and its architecture covering an area of 5,000 square meters with a capacity of 300,000 worshippers.

The impetus for the mosque began in 1966 when the late King faisal Bin Abdul Azij of Saudi Arabia suggested it during a visit to Islamabad. In 1969, an international competition was held in which architects from 17 countries submitted 43 proposals. After four days of deliberation, Turkish architect vedat dalokay design was chosen. Construction of the mosque began in 1976 by national construction of Pakistan, led by Azim Borujerdi, and was funded by the government of Saudi Arabia, at a cost of over 130 million Saudi riyals (approximately $120 million USD today).

King Faisal bin Abdul Aziz was instrumental in the funding, and both the mosque and the road leading to it were named after him after his assassination in 1975. The mosque was completed in 1986, and used to house the International Islamic University. Many conservative Muslims criticised the design at first for its non-conventional design and lack of the traditional dome structure, but virtually all criticism was eventually silenced by the mosque's scale, form, and setting against the margalla hills upon completion.

The masjid has an area of 5,000 square meters and can hold about 300,000 worshippers, including those in the adjacent grounds. It is one of the largest mosques in the world. Its relatively unusual design fuses contemporary lines with the more traditional look of an Arab Bedouin's tent, with its large triangular prayer hall and four minarets. However, unlike traditional masjid design, it lacks a dome, and like a tent, the weight of the main prayer hall in the center is supported by the four minarets. The minarets borrow their design from Turkish tradition and are thin pencil like. The interior of this prayer hall holds a very large chandelier and its walls are decorated with mosaics and calligraphy by the famous Pakistani artist sadeqain. The mosaic pattern adorns the west wall, and has the 'kalima' writtern in early kufic script, repeated in mirror image pattern.

The masjid's architecture is a departure from the long history of south Asian muslim architecture. However, in some ways it makes a bridge between Arabic, Turkish and Pakistani Muslim architectural traditions.
