Things like filters, framing and photoshop can make your life look way more glamorous on Instagram than it is in reality.

If you don’t get caught, that is.

Recently, rapper Bow Wow posted a picture on Instagram, implying that he was flying on a private jet.

Moments later, everything was ok until a Snapchat user spotted him on his flight.

A regular commercial flight, Economy class.

He snapped a pic of the rapper as proof and it started a hilarious challenge on social media.

The private plane and the Mercedes Benz belongs to a VIP transportation Company in Florida(Cropped from the website).

#BowWowChallenge.

The challenge has taken over Twitter with tons of people posting side-by-side pics that reveal how fabulous Instagram can make your life look and how it really looks.

Autobahn Motors says it will only stock luxurious models, including classics and convertibles.

Each car sits on a laddered structure that moves independently around the building.

Gary Hong, general manager at Autobahn Motors, said the vending machine format was designed to make efficient use of space in land-scarce Singapore as well as help the brand stand out from the competition.

Used-car showroom also holds a few classic models from around the world, including this Porsche 911 964 and an original Mini Cooper

Forget chocolate bars, bags of crisps and cans of Coke - this 150-foot vending machine serves up a selection of high-end supercars.

It belongs to luxury car dealership Autobahn Motors in Singapore and lets buyers choose from a selection of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Bentleys at the push of a button.

The used car seller opened the futuristic 15-storey showroom in December, where up to 60 different cars can be held at any given time and moved from any of the slots to the ground floor in just two minutes.


Visitors on the lower level can simply select the in-stock model they want to see on a touchscreen display and in just two minutes the 'vehicle retrieval system' delivers it to them.

Authorities were searching Tuesday in the Bahamas for a small overdue plane with four people aboard.

The people on board the plane were identified as the pilot Nathan Ulrich, of NH, and Jennifer Blumin of NY, along with her two-year-old and four-year-old sons

The US Coast Guard is searching over the Bahamas in the Bermuda Triangle for a small overdue plane with four people including two children from New York aboard.

Pilot Nathan Ulrich, 52, of New Hampshire, and Jennifer Blumin, 40, of New York, who is the Founder and CEO of event management firm, Skylight Group, along with her sons, Phineas, four, and two-year-old Theodore, were identified as the people onboard.

The US Coast Guard says the twin-engine MU-2B turboprop, manufactured by Mitsubishi, was 37 miles east of the island of Eleuthera on Monday when air traffic control in Miami lost radar and radio contact with the plane around 2.10pm.

The airplane departed Borinquen, Puerto Rico, at approximately 11am Monday and never made it to its destination of Titusville, along the northeastern coast of Florida.

Their plane was at about 24,000 feet when air traffic control lost contact.

'There's no indication of significant adverse weather at the time,' said Lt Cmdr Ryan Kelly, a Coast Guard spokesman.

Oyinbo and adventure sha. I trust black man e no go risk hin life for such. Climbing d Everest shud be banned makes no sense afterall pple don reach d summit already

Its not possible, its like banning or telling people not to go on adventure.

Ine of the major rules is to have a shepard or a professional climber(s) with you.

Training and climbing gears too.

Medics and rescue workers at the scene after a tourist bus crashed near the southwestern holiday town of Marmaris, Turkey today.

The passengers were travelling to a Mother's Day celebration.

Dead bodies line the road which the tour bus crashed down on from the higher mountain road above. It hit another vehicle in the fall.

At least 23 people died, including the bus driver.

Turkish authorities say at least 23 people have died and 11 others are in critical condition after a tour bus tipped over, fell 15 meters (50 feet) down a cliff and then hit a car on a serpentine mountain road.

The passengers mostly women and children were travelling to a Mother's Day celebration.

Mother's Day falls today, Sunday May 14 in Turkey but this year it will be met with mourning in the homes of those killed in this tragic crash, the cause of which is still unknown.

Deputy governor of Mugla province, Kamil Koten, told Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency that the driver is among the dead and most of those killed were women.

deWav:
On a serious note man, Explorers do you sleep at all?

I see you almost every night/early morning online.

Lols...

ambrosedmax:
What of the dead bodies around them?

They got married at Base camp, 17,000ft.

Dead climbers lies from Camp 4, 26,000ft to the summit, 29,000.

That's why they refer to that area as "Death Zone".

Climbers will face lack of oxygen, altitude sickness, frostbite, blizzard, avalanche and like that.

Let’s hope this couple’s marriage pulls through harsh conditions as well as they do.

32-year-old Ashley and 35-year-old James spent a whole year planning and training for the expedition, and it was no walk in the park when they finally arrived in Nepal in early March.

Accompanied by their photographer, Charleton Churchill, it took them the better part of 3 weeks to reach the 17,000-foot-high Base Camp Everest, where they finally said their vowsafter braving deep snow, freezing temperatures, and altitude sickness together.

It’s been said that love can move mountains, but one California couple has proven that it can also climb them.

Ashley Schmeider and James Sisson felt that a run-of-the-mill wedding ceremony wasn’t right for them, so they decided to get married on Mount Everest instead.

As you can probably guess, their wedding photos are monumentally epic.

Kathy Winter, vice president of automated driving solutions for Intel, is optimistic that the cars will be able to see and think like humans before 2030.

Intel expects fully autonomous cars to collect, process and analyze four terabytes of data in 1 ½ hours of driving, which is the average amount a person spends in a car each day.

That's equal to storing over 1.2 million photos or 2,000 hours of movies.

Such computing power now costs over $100,000 per vehicle.

That's because programmers have to figure out human behavior and local traffic idiosyncrasies.

And teaching a car to use that knowledge will require massive amounts of data and big computing power that is prohibitively expensive at the moment.

'Driverless cars are very rule-based, and they don't understand social graces,' says Missy Cummings, director of Duke University's Humans and Autonomy Lab.

Driving customs and road conditions are dramatically different across the globe, with narrow, congested lanes in European cities, and anarchy in Beijing's giant traffic jams.

In India's capital, New Delhi, luxury cars share poorly marked and congested lanes with bicycles, scooters, trucks, and even an occasional cow or elephant.Then there is the problem of aggressive humans who make dangerous moves such as cutting cars off on freeways or turning left in front of oncoming traffic.

In India, for example, even when lanes are marked, drivers swing from lane to lane without hesitation.

Already there have been isolated cases of human drivers pulling into the path of cars such as Teslas, knowing they will stop because they're equipped with automatic emergency braking.

In just a few years, well-mannered self-driving robotaxis will share the roads with reckless, law-breaking human drivers.

The prospect is causing migraines for the people developing the robotaxis.

A self-driving car would be programmed to drive at the speed limit.

Self-driving cars wouldn't dare cross a double yellow line; humans do it all the time.

And then there are those odd local traffic customs to which humans quicklyadapt.

In Los Angeles and other places, for instance, there's the 'California Stop,' where drivers roll through stop signs if no traffic is crossing.

'It's hard to program in human stupidity or someone who really tries to gamethe technology,' says John Hanson, spokesman for Toyota's autonomous car unit.

OpinionCounts:
Wait oo, guys, I thought the flight altitude for choppers is within 3000 - 3500ft and this building is 3500ft. Hope this will not be creating aviation challenges? Anyways I knw experts must have put all that into consideration before approving the project.

When it stand, every pilot on earth will be aware of that building and avoid the route.

There will also be signal light on it for pilots.

The tower will feature a stunning viewing deck allowing visitors to walk around an 'air park'.

A HISTORY OF THE JEDDAH TOWER.


Once dubbed 'Kingdom Tower', the 170-storey building is to rise more than a kilometre (almost 3,300 feet), surpassing Dubai's Burj Khalifa as the world's highest building.

It will feature a hotel, apartments and offices.

Prince Alwaleed first announced plans for the tower in August 2011, saying it would take 36 months to build after the start of construction.

By November 2014, a four-storey foundation was in place and Prince Alwaleed said the building would be finished in 2018.

But that was before the kingdom felt the full force of a drop in oil revenues.

In November 2015, Kingdom Holding said Jeddah Economic Company had reached a financing deal with Saudi Arabia's Alinma Investment to finish theJeddah Tower, which then had 26 floors.

Now the project has been pushed back to the end of 2019.






The skyscraper is intended to be the centre piece of the Kingdom City development beside the Red Sea and will have 170 floors, most of which willbe habitable.

This is an image of what it might be like to look down on the structure.
