A father of a 20-year-old girl let his daughter drown, after he stopped life guards from rescuing her. He preferred that his daughter die rather than she be touched by a strange man. Speaking to Emirates 24|7, Lt. Col Ahmed Burqibah, Deputy Director of Dubai Police’s Search and Rescue Department said that this incident took place at a beach in Dubai. “This is one of the incidents which I cannot forget. It shocked me and many others who were involved in the case. The Asian father took his wife and kids to the beach for picnic and fun. The kids were swimming in the beach when suddenly, the 20-year-old girl started drowning and screaming for help. Two rescue men were at the beach, and they rushed to help the girl. However, there was one obstacle which prevented them from reaching the girl and helping her. This obstacle was the belief of this Asian man who considered that if these men touched his daughter, then this would dishonour her. It cost him the life of his daughter.” Lt. Col. Burqibah added that the father of the girl did not want the rescue men to touch his daughter as they were strange men. “The father was a tall and strong man. He started pulling and preventing the rescue men and got violent with them. He told them that he prefers his daughter being dead than being touched by a strange man.” He pointed out that this delay and fight with the girl’s father cost the girl her life. She drowned. “She died unfortunately, at a time when she had a chance to live, especially that the rescue men were so close to her to pull her out of the water.” Lt. Col. Burqibah added that the girl’s father was later arrested by Dubai Police for stopping the rescue team from saving his daughter’s life and doing their job. “He was prosecuted and sued by the concerned authorities.” http://ww.lailasblog.com/2015/08/father-lets-his-daughter-die-rather.html?m=1

MEET TEN YOUNGEST INVENTORS. [WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR YOUR GENERATION?]. Most of the young people on this list created their inventions before they even made it out of high school! This list of the 10 youngest innovators includes people who are responsible for innovations that have entertained, assisted and delighted people around the world. 1 George Westinghouse, Rotary Steam Engine - 19 years old In 1865, Westinghouse received what would be the first of many patents with his invention of the rotary steam engine. Westinghouse is credited for revolutionizing the railroad industry with both his steam engine and other relevant innovations including a railroad braking system using compressed air. This made it possible for trains to travel more safely, and at higher speeds. By 1905, approximately 2 million vehicles and almost 90,000 locomotives had a Westinghouse Quick-Action Automatic Brake installed.

As a 14-year-old boy in Rigby, Idaho, Farnsworth drafted his first sketch of what would later become the electronic television. For the remainder of his life, Farnsworth labored painstakingly to create the world's first all-electronic image display device. He is considered to be the godfather of the modern television. some of his many creations also include the video camera tube, and the image dissector.

As a young boy on Hayling Island, located on the southern coast of Britain, Chilvers enjoyed a variety of water sports. One day he decided to put a sail on his surfboard and the rest is history. Chilvers is still heavily involved in windsurfing culture. He founded the London East End Windsurfing Centre for underprivileged children and is currently spearheading the bid for his hometown of Hayling Island to create a €40 million windsurfing and sailing center.

He first built a rectangular frame, and then stretched a taut piece of canvas over the rectangular frame, thus creating the first trampoline. After going to college, Nissen continued his gymnastics career and even won three NCAA championships for the University of Iowa. After majoring in Business, Nissen traveled the world and while in Mexico learned the Spanish word "trampoline." Later that year, he trademarked his invention under the English version of the word and began to create and sell his trampolines across the country.

Adams had purchased Mexican chicle and was attempting to transform the natural substance into a rubber substitute. However, after spending some time with the substance, young Horatio quickly realized that chicle could be turned into a chewable substance. He created 200 balls of what later became known as bubble gum. Horatio had the local druggist dispense the balls. By mid-afternoon that day, all bubble gum balls had been sold for 1 penny.

It was a cold evening and the next morning, Epperson discovered a frozen pop on his porch. He found it delicious and called the concoction an "Epsicle." For the next 18 years, Epperson didn't pursue development of his accidental invention. However, he made the tasty treat for his children and they called the cold treat "Pop's Sicle." In 1923, Epperson commercialized the product, and applied for a patent. He then created a variety of new flavors and distributed his cold product to the public.

His creation of an adding machine was the groundwork for the modern day calculator, which he created in 1642 while helping his father at work. Pascal's father spent all day conducting complex mathematical calculations as a tax collector for the crown. Little Pascal created a wooden box that had 16 separate dials and when each dial was turned, additions and subtractions were able to be done quickly. Blaise Pascal makes it to one of the top spots on our list because he was able to do something that others had tried and failed. In fact, Leonardo da Vinci attempted to create a calculating machine that was similar to the one created by Pascal.

Becky was only 10 years old when she was attempting to do homework in her mom's car. As it got darker outside, she had the idea that there should be a way to make her paper easier to see in the dark. Becky took matters into her own hands and began playing around with phosphorescent materials, which exhibited light but without heat. She then used phosphorescent paint to cover an acrylic board and The Glow Sheet was created. At the ripe old age of 12, Becky became the youngest women to be approved for a U.S. patent for her Glo-Sheet invention.

After moving to Paris to attend a school for the visually impaired, he found they had books that allowed the students to use their hands to touch large raised words on the page as a means for them to read. Braille decided to create a better system using raised dots instead of raised letters. The language of Braille has since become the tactile writing system used by the blind and the visually impaired around the world.

His creation of what he called the "harmonic telegraph" involved the idea of transmitting a voice message through a single wire to a separately located receiver. His experiments with his assistant Thomas Watson finally proved successful on March 10, 1876, when the first complete sentence was transmitted: "Watson, come here; I want you." Bell created other inventions during his lifetime, and also was respected for the role he played in assisting the deaf. |

The term is also used to describe the meeting of tidal or other non-riverine bodies of water, such as two canals or a canal and a lake. Below is a collection of 10 incredible confluences around the world. For more, there is a fascinating list of notable confluences on Wikipedia that I recommend you check out. The confluences below were selected for their dramatic visual contrast. Thus, culturally significant confluences such as the Sangam near Allahabad, India, where the sacred rivers Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati meet to create one of the holiest places in Hinduism, were not included for this reason. Please enjoy the list below and let us know of any other interesting confluences you are aware of. Perhaps we can do a follow-up post if there is interest! |
