Human Barbie doll

Valeria Lukyanova has admitted using plastic surgery and Photoshop to cultivate her doll-like appearance – but her tiny waist could also be a result of not eating for weeks.

"In recent weeks I have not been hungry at all; I'm hoping it's the final stage before I can subsist on air and light alone," she told the International Business Times.

Ms Lukyanova said she is converting to Breatharianism, a cult that believes food – and possibly water – is not necessary for human survival.

Valeria Lukyanova has a strong following across social media sites, with over 59,000 subscribers on YouTube, more than 9,500 followers on Twitter, and various Facebook pages dedicated to her.

With her cinched in waist, platinum blonde hair and vacant stare, Ms Lukyanova has attracted international criticism for her self-objectification and obsession with achieving an unrealistic concept of perfection.

In August she was the subject of Vice documentary Space Barbie, which explored her bizarre life and beliefs.

I personally think it is very bad what she is doing. I belive that beauty has to be natural and not superficial. If she countinious like this she will have a lot of health problems.

I think that we only have to have surgery when it is for health problems. Plastic surgery is very dangerous because it can happen a lot of accidents when you least expect it. I find it good that they are so expensive because otherwise everyone with a insignificant beauty problem would have a plastic surgery. Adding to that, I think that Breatharianism is very silly cult.

Calvin & Hobbes returns!

Las day I saw on newspaper that Cartoonist Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin & Hobbes, comic couple, returns to the comic, strip after closing the adventures of Calvin and his little stuffed tiger on December 31, 1995, having been published in more 2,400 newspapers. 

After almost 20 years away from the cartoon, Watterson has taken his style to design the poster of the documentary Stripped, which addresses the state of the comic strip and newspapers. This is one of the few appearances of the artist and his second work published in the last two decades, since his retirement from live isolated and does not allow interviews.

I absolutely love those drawings..

Thousands in Guatemala facing evacuation as Pacaya volcano erupts

Today a volcano has erupted in Guatemala and the authorities have evacuated  of some 3,000 people living near the volcano. The Pacaya volcano began spewing ash and lava after a powerful explosion on Saturday afternoon. New explosions were seen on Sunday, with ash clouds reaching a height or at least 4km.

Flights have been diverted from the area, some 50km south of the capital, Guatemala City. The Pacaya is one of three active volcanoes in the Central American nation. The other two are the Fuego and the Santa Maria

The Pacaya National Park director Humberto Morales said to the Prensa Libre newspaper "We are assessing with the National Disaster Management Centre whether we will need to evacuate the 3000 people who live in the villages of El Rodeo and Patrocinio"

The Guatemalan authorities have issued an amber alert, the third highest. It means people must remain alert and be prepared to leave the area at short notice.

Croatia prohibits homosexual marriages

Croatia today decided by a referendum banning gay marriage. A Catholic charity has been what has driven 740,000 signatures to ban them.

The constitutional amendment restricting marriage to heterosexuals went ahead with 64.8% of votes in favor and 35.5% against, according to the data. But they have only participated in the vote 40% of the Croatian population.

Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic Social Democrat, voted against the proposal and lamented not be avoided because this query on matrimono.

This article was published today on ELPAÍS.com

I think it is very wrong to ban gay marriage because everyone has the right to marry whoever, and they are free to do what they want and doesn't matter if they are two men or two woman because if they love each other there isn't any problem, they aren't doing anything bad to us.

I don't understand how people can hate it because everybody is free to do what they want. Love is irrational and we can't choose who we love, we simply love them. And if in other countries have no problem with this topic I don't understand why Croatia says no the gay marriage.

U-CAT, new robotic turtle

This news article explains that engineers of Estonia have created a turtle robot.

The creator of this turtle robot is Taavi Salumäe. This robot has been created to help archaeologists to investigate the shipwrecks, to dive to inaccessible places too dangerous or deep for humans. 

It consists of a mini robot with four independently driven flippers to make it highly manoeuvrable and it is able to swim backwards as well as forwards, travel upwards and even turn in tight spaces. It has a camera onboard and can record what it sees so video footage can later be used to reconstruct a site underwater. 

The device is part of the Arrows project, which is an EU-funded project to make underwater archaeology easier. The various innovations, will be tested in the Mediterranean and the Baltic seas where devices like the underwater turtle will assist larger underwater robots to identify interesting underwater sites

I found this new on www.maildaily.com and I was very surprise when i saw it, because I think is very interesting that science and technology is advancing much in a few years.
