First Air-conditioned bus station in Dubai, UAE
Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems Corp announced the installation of theworld’s fastest passenger elevator just exactly where it is needed – in Taipei 101, the world’s tallest building. The elevator runs at a top speed of 1,010 meters per minute when ascending (600 meters per minute on the way down), which works out to 60.6 kilometers per hour. The Elevator can go from the 5th floor to the 89th floor in 39 seconds.
World’s fastest elevator offers the following new technologies:
* The world’s first pressure control system, which adjusts the atmospheric pressure inside a car by using suction and discharge blowers, preventing those riding inside thecar experiencing ‘ear popping’.

World’s First All-glass Undersea Restaurant Opens
The World’s First All-glass Undersea Restaurant Opens
15 th April marks the day that the first ever all-glass undersea restaurant in the world opens its doors for business at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. It will sit five meters below the waves of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by a vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic offering diners 270-degrees of panoramic underwater views.
“We have used aquarium technology to put diners face-to-face with the stunning underwater environment of the Maldives”, says Carsten Schieck, General Manager of Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. “Our guests always comment on being blown away by the colour, clarity, and beauty of the underwater world in the Maldives, so it seemed the perfect idea to build a restaurant where diners can experience fine cuisine and take time to enjoy the views – without ever getting their feet wet.”
Created by MJ Murphy Ltd, a design consultancy based in New Zealand, Ithaa’s distinctive feature is the use of curved transparent acrylic walls and roof, similar to those used in aquarium attractions. “The fact that the entire restaurant except for the floor is made of clear acrylic makes this unique in the world,” continues Schieck, “We are currently planting a coral garden on the reef to add to the spectacular views of the rays, sharks and many colorful fish that live around the area.

Royal Look-Alikes
If someone says that you look like your grand-grand-grandfather/mother, don’t be surprised (or disappointed) – nature is miracle. Royal British family is purest example of it – if you dig a little, you can find ancestor look-alike for every member of Royal family. You can take a peek at your family album, be sure that you have some ancestor that is your (actually, you are his/her) look-alike.
Prince William
Clearly he’s no pretender to the throne: Prince William’s regal bearing can be traced back to his 14th-century ancestor King Edward I, making the 28-year-old royal even more of a shoo-in as future King of England.
Princess Beatrice
You thought that Beatrice looked like her dad – think again! It turns out that 22-year-old daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson bears an uncanny resemblance to her great-great-great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria.
Prince Charles
Yes, Prince Charles is a dead ringer for Edward VII, who owned the title of Prince of Wales before ascending the throne in 1901.
Lord Freddie Windsor
He is 37th in line to the throne,so the chances that Freddie Windsor will get his crowning moment are about as bad as those of his ancestor Louis Frederick, Prince of Wales. His ancestor died at the young age of 44 with none of his political ambitions ever fulfilled.
Prince Michael of Kent
A cousin of Queen Elizabeth II and Freddie’s dad, Prince Michael of Kent has the bearing – along with the full beard! – of his granddad, King George V, who ruled the United Kingdom through the First World War until his death in 1936.
Princess Eugenie
Prince Andrew and Fergie’s younger daughter would make the late Queen Mum proud! The 21-year-old shares great-great-granny’s soulful eyes, full lips and even her face shape!
Queen Elizabeth II
Queen Elizabeth II must have been a favorite of her granny, Queen Mary. The British monarch bears a remarkable likeness to the Queen consort, who saw both her beloved son King George VI and granddaughter Elizabeth ascend the throne before her death in 1953.
Prince Harry
Guess who else bears a striking likeness to Queen Mary? Everyones favorite eligible royal bachelor Prince Harry, whose red hair and blue eyes were clearly passed down from his great-great-grandmother.
Prince Edward
Long live the king (George VI) in Prince Edward! Queen Elizabeth II’s youngest son is indeed a natty 21st-century version of his grandfather, with his thoughtful gaze and his deep-set eyes.
Lady Louise Windsor
Even at age 6 (in 2009), Prince Edward’s little girl is a mini-me of her very famous granny, Queen Elizabeth II, who was quite the cherubic 4-year-old in a photo taken in 1930.
