Muscular dog

by Ustad | 03:57 in , , , , , , |




 I think many who saw this picture, were convinced that it was done in Photoshop. But it is not so! This dog named Big Wendy (Big Wendy) whose appearance is far from long, thin members of its breed hounds.




She was born with genetic abnormalities, because of which looks like an incredibly huge hound.
While her head, heart, lungs and legs are the same size as a normal Whippet, a defect of its genes has led to what is called "double muscle mass"
She weighs 27.2 kg - twice the state - and has huge bulging neck muscles, burly shoulders and haunches like a baboon. And unlike ordinary whippets known for their flexible and thin bones, this four-year representative of the breed instead of the abdominal muscles with 6 Dice has 24 cubic press!

Unfortunately, her broken genes may lead to the fact that the duration of her life will be shorter than normal dogs. But, even though it looks threatening, adoring her owner Ingrid Hansen claims that its giant dog there is nothing better than to climb up to the hostess on her knees.



"People called it Arnold Schwarzenegger," - says Ingrid.
"She is healthy and happy. And the main thing. "
"She knows that she has a genetic aberration. All she can do wrong - just disgusting to lick you all! "

It spends his days loitering in the fields, chasing other dogs and horses, and often sleeps on the bed her mistress. Wendy's unofficially considered the most muscular dog in the world. And the reason it does not have intensive training in the local section of the fitness room, and do not abuse steroids. Overweight dog got a birthday - thanks to a mutation in the gene responsible for the generation of myostatin. Myostatin - a protein that limits muscle growth. When a defect, this restriction is removed and the animal gets increased muscle mass, without spending any effort. It's a shame, huh? People involved in breeding hounds, trying to get or find an instance with a defect in the gene for myostatin. Canes with a mutation called "bulls" . They are quicker and stronger, but in appearance little different from normal dogs of their breed.
What is the secret to Wendy? What is the reason that in appearance it looks more like a pit bull than a beagle?

Strange but true - Wendy's has received not one, but two defective myostatin gene. In the end, her muscle mass has broken all records. Even on the neck muscles in "hell hound" so thick that from the side they can be mistaken for a mane like a lion.

Whippet English greyhound, who lives on a farm in Victoria (Canada), is the subject of study of American geneticists. Though her breed and is designed for hunting, racing and exhibitions, Wendy prefers the unhurried flow of life.

10 Coolest Robots in the World

by Ustad | 01:03 in , , , , , , |



 No. 1 Fitting model robot.

The robot can shift into 2,000 different bodily forms, and customers can watch it try on different clothes. It is called "The Terminator Fitting Model."



No. 2 Hair-washing robot.

If Panasonic can build an exercise horse, then surely a robot that washes your hair should come as surprise. Imagine being lifted from your bed by a plush care-assistance robot and placed into a chair for an automatic shampoo and scalp massage.

That is the future of care for the elderly and sick in Japan or the rich and lazy everywhere else. Panasonic's hair-washing robot scans each human head three-dimensionally to apply just the right amount of pressure during the shampoo, massage and rinse phases. It recognizes repeat customers and then applies that person's preferred massage course using its human-like sixteen "fingers." Each arm contains a trio of motors to power swing, press and massage motions... or to snap your spinal column should you decide to sass.
 No. 3 Bartender robot.

The robot can accept customers' orders just like real bartender. When customers come up to it, it will offer them a cocktail list and make cocktails for customers. It will also tell some funny jokes in the process.




  No. 4 Shirt-folding robot.

All we have to say about this shirt-folding robot is that it does a better job than we could ever hope to. And for that, we love it.

No. 5 Automower.

Husqvarna says they tried building a completely solar powered robot mower, but it required a huge auxiliary panel (something like 12 square feet), and the fact that the robot couldn't mow reliably (it had to wait for a sunny day) kind of defeated the purpose of an automated lawn care system. The important point, though, is that electric mowers in general are far more environmentally friendly than their gas cousins and adding a solar panel just makes things even better.
 No. 6 Robot surgeon.

A team of surgeons at McGill University, including the da Vinci robo-surgeon and a robot anesthesiologist named McSleepy recently removed some a man's prostate during what is being billed as the world's first all-robotic surgery. The device transmits hi-def 3D images to a nearby workstation, where it is controlled by surgeons "with a precision that cannot be provided by humans alone," according to MUHC urologist-in-chief A. Aprikian. Of course, the robots are being kept on a tight leash by their human operators, with McGill's Thomas Hemmerling pointing out that "[r]obots will not replace doctors but help them to perform to the highest standards." Just tell that to all the other medical robots we've seen in this space, eh, doc? We've heard they have plans.


No. 7 Rubik's-Cube-solving robot.

RuBot II is the world's fastest Rubik's Cube solving robot. With two cameras for eyes, RuBot II scans the cube before his pneumatic actuated arms solve it. He can usually solve the puzzle in less than 35 seconds. Will you be able to beat him?

 No. 8 Fly-consuming robot.

A robot that consumes flies and uses their consequential energy. The EcoBot II (ah, what a benign, non-threatening name) is fed flies into 12 sewage-based bacterial fuel cells, which break them down, digest them and use the electrons released as current. And we don't wanna hear no jibberjabber about how it's only a matter of time before these bots turn on their human masters, because if you're gonna go, what's so bad about being slowly digested in human feces by giant robot oppressors?

 No. 9 BIGDOG robot.

It looks like an actual biological quadruped. Seeing it climb through rubble, snow, jumping over obstacles like a wild goat and saving a near-fall on iced ground at the last second defies belief. It feels so "animal" that I almost feel bad when they hit it to demonstrate how it regains balance on its own.

The new version of the robot can now carry 340 pounds, which is almost triple the previous weight. It looks to me that that $10 million funding they got from DARPA has been put to good use.

No. 10 iCub

How do you make a creepy baby robot downright cute? Give it an Indian headdress and teach it to use the bow and arrow, of course. The same team of researchers who brought us the pancake-flipping robot arm have imbued this iCub with a learning algorithm that lets it teach itself archery much the same as a human might do by watching where the suction-tipped arrow lands and adjusting its aim for each subsequent shot, in this case obtaining a perfect bull's-eye after just eight attempts. Watch it for yourself after the break and ponder the fate of man: How can we possibly stop an uprising of adorable robots that never miss?

Fired Actors from tv Roles

by Ustad | 04:47 in , , , , |

Acting's a tough business. If you're lucky enough to get a good role -- and perhaps find fame in it -- you have to keep up appearances at all times. Or else you might find yourself in the same spot as Isaiah Washington, who was out of job despite multiple apologies. What's he doing now?

 Other well-known actors have found themselves in a similar spot for different reasons. Here's a look at some of them.


Jorja Fox & George Eads
 Show: "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" 
Roles: Sarah Sidle and Nicholas Stokes


Fox and Eads reportedly were fired from the show because they failed to show up on time in what appeared to be a bid for more money.

Jerry Seinfeld
 Show: "Benson" 
Role: Frankie

The now-famous comedian had a small role on the sitcom. One day, when he went to work, he reportedly couldn't find any parts for him. That's how he learned he'd been fired.

Kim Delaney
 Show: "CSI: Miami" 
Role: Megan Donner 

After 10 episodes, Delaney was written out of the popular crime show, reportedly because of a lack of chemistry with a star.

Janet Hubert-Whitten
 Show: "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" 
Role: Aunt Viv


Hubert-Whitten played Aunt Viv for the first three seasons of the sitcom, and she didn't return after having a child. Did creative differences with the lead character play a role?

Lecy Goranson
 Show: "Roseanne" 
Role: Becky Conner


Goranson played Roseanne's daughter until she left for college, but she came back, taking over the role for the most part in the eighth season.

Hunter Tylo
 Show: "Melrose Place" 
Role: Taylor McBride

Tylo left a soap opera to take the role on "Melrose Place," then she got pregnant, and then she was fired. She sued.

JoMarie Payton
 Show: "Family Matters" 
Role: Harriette Winslow
 
Winslow, played the matriarch, had great chemistry with her screen husband. But she quit during the final season.

Rosie O'Donnell
 Show: "The View" 
Role: Co-host


O'Donnell seemed to enjoy the back-and-forth on the daytime talk show, but at one point it escalated into an argument with another co-host. She left. She was turned down for another gig. She also recently had a health scare.

Chris Engen
 Show: "The Young and the Restless" 
Character: Adam Newman


Engen, who played the son of Victor Newman on the show, quit last year over creative differences. Did he dislike a change in his character's sexual orientation?

Norm MacDonald
 Show: "Saturday Night Live" 
Character: Weekend Update host


The comedian took over the job from this "SNL" alum, but he didn't get to pass it on to his successor because he was fired. Was it because he wasn't funny enough?

Conan O'Brien

Show: "The Tonight Show" 
Role: Talk show host


In what likely is one of the messiest cast changes in talk show history, the old host took over "The Tonight Show" about a year after it was handed to O'Brien. How much did it cost NBC?
