Heart to part

A women has seen her own heart on display at a medical exhibition. Jennifer Sutton, 23, had sucessfully underwent an operation to replace her heart earlier this year. She had developed a life-threatening condition called restrictive cardiomyopathy in her teens. Now the original heart, which nearly killed her, has been removed and put on temporary display in central London. Restrictive cardiomyopathy causes the heart muscle to stiffen so the heart cannot relax normally after contraction. As the disease progresses the heart muscle continues to stiffen and eventually contraction is also affected.

to do this, they can feed a needy person for every day missed.

Beautiful Fliers

Butterflies

butterflies have been fluttering around
of course no doubt in my compound
they perch on beautiful flowers
nectar do they look for
as if to last forever
lives are shorter

Fascinating Insects

Butterflies are beautiful flying insects with large scaly wings. Butterflies are also very good fliers. They have two pairs of large wings covered with colourful, iridescent scales in overlapping rows. Butterflies feed primarily on nectar from flowers. Some also derive nourishment from pollen, tree sap, rotting fruit, dung, and dissolved minerals in wet sand or dirt. Butterflies play an important ecological role as pollinators.They flit from flower to flower for its sustenance. Butterflies have very short lives. A butterfly is one of nature's most beautiful creatures in the world.

Ice Cafe

A very unique experience for diners at Dubai' Ice Cafe when dining out for frost time. A cold cuts experience, from seating to glassware to cutlery and crockery, everything is cut in ice.
Almost everything at the cafe is sculpted out of ice. Diners will sit on ice benches/chairs, eat at ice tables out of ice plates and drink from ice glasses served from a bar made of ice.
"It is a popular misconception that furniture at an ice restaurant is wet. It is the moisture on the surface of ice that gives it the wet feel. There cannot be any moisture at minus 6 degrees. Every bit of it turns to ice." explained the spokeperson.
The restaurant was recently open Thursday, June 21 2007, located at Times Square mall, between 3rd and 4th interchange on Shaikh Zayed Road. Cover charge of Dh60 inclusive of thermal gear and a free mocktail.
