The dramatic ruined Dunnottar Castle in Stonehaven, Scotland, doesn't score quite as highly as some of the others on the perch-o-meter, but still, building it must have been treacherous. William Wallace, Mary Queen of Scots and King Charles II are all said to have stayed at the castle. The ruins are open to visitors all year round

Paro Taktsang, also known as the Tiger's Nest, is a Buddhist temple complex in the Himalayas in Bhutan. It was built in 1692, but was almost destroyed by a fire in 1998. However, the government of Bhutan stumped up the cash to restore the fascinating building The Swallow's Nest Castle, which is perched on the edge of the Aurora cliff in Crimea. It was built in 1911 and has survived an earthquake. It is now open to visitors and houses an Italian restaurant The Nugget Point Lighthouse is one of the most recognisable landmarks on the south island of New Zealand. A sloping path takes visitors to the amazing building, which was first lit in 1870 and took four years to build The mountain fortress town of Corte in Corsica.

The world's most precariously placed buildings, from cliff-edge towns to monasteries perched on rocky columns Many precariously placed buildings have stood on the same spots for hundreds, even thousands of years The Hanging Temple of Shanxi was built into a cliff face in China and has survived more than 1,400 years Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe chapel in France is perched on a volcanic plug and was built over 1,000 years ago The historic town of Bonifacio, a former fortress, in Corsica almost dangles off the edge of a limestone cliff If you don’t have a head for heights, these pictures might give you sweaty palms. That’s because they show some of the world’s most precariously perched structures – monasteries, temples, churches, castles and houses placed on rocky outcrops and cliff edges by builders with nerves of steel. Some are so inaccessible that only those with a jet pack or serious rock climbing skills can visit. Amazingly, some of the buildings featured here have stood strong in the same place for hundreds and even thousands of years, despite their seemingly hazardous locations. One of the oldest most precariously perched buildings is the Hanging Temple of Shanxi, which was built into a cliff face in China in 491. Other surely-that's-not-safe structures include the chapel of Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe near Le Puy-en-Velay, in southern France, which is built on a volcanic plug, and the Monastery of the Holy Trinity perched high on top of a rock in Meteora in central Greece. Scroll down – and hold on! 1. The chapel of Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe near Le Puy-en-Velay, in southern France. The building is over 1,000 years old and stands on a volcanic plug 280 feet tall. The chapel can be reached by climbing 268 steps carved into the rock 2. Behold this incredible church, which stands on top of the 130ft-high Katskhi Pillar in Georgia. For centuries locals could only look up at the mysterious ruins at its summit. Finally, in 1944, a group led by the mountaineer Alexander Japaridze made the first documented ascent of the pillar and discovered the remains of the chapel. Only those who are invited are allowed to scale the rock to reach the top 3. Meteora in central Greece is home to several stunning, precariously perched monasteries. This one, The Monastery of the Holy Trinity, was built in 1392 and featured in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. It can be accessed via 140 steps 4. The stunning historic town of Bonifacio in Corsica goes right to the edge of a limestone cliff. The best way to approach it is by boat - it's a jaw-dropping experience

Health / Re: Help. The Vitiligo Spreading On My Lips Is Making Me Suicidal (pics) by MaeBlocks(f): 4:00pm On Jul 05, 2018 |
Local Fox TV reporter with vitiligo reveals he covers up his skin patches with make-up so he isn't a 'distraction' on screen - after vowing the condition would not destroy his career Lee Thomas, 50, a reporter for WJBK Fox 2 News in Detroit, was just 25 years old when he first noticed his skin begin to change color Upon receiving the vitiligo diagnosis, Lee thought about quitting his job in TV, but ultimately decided to keep pursuing his on screen career Lee initially hid his condition, even from colleagues, with the help of make-up, before it spread over his hands, making covering up impossible Since sharing his story he has become an international spokesperson for the disease and has inspired people all over the world with his determination Lee continues to wear make-up on camera so as not to let his condition distract viewers and interviewees from the news being reported By VALERIE SIEBERT FOR DAILYMAIL.COM PUBLISHED: 22:10 BST, 14 February 2018 | UPDATED: 04:12 BST, 15 February 2018 3.5k shares 187 View comments For many people whose career revolves, at least in part, around their appearance, being diagnosed with a condition like vitiligo could feel like a death sentence as far as future success is concerned. But for Emmy Award-winning WJBK Fox 2 News reporter Lee Thomas, 50, being told he had the skin condition simply pushed him to achieve even greater on-screen success, after he vowed not to let it get in the way of his dreams. Lee was only 25 years old when he first discovered a light spot of skin on his scalp while getting a haircut in Kentucky, where he was working at the time.

It looked to me like he had nicked my hair, like cut it too much down to the scalp,' Lee tells Daily Mail Online. 'I told him that he had nicked me and he said, "No I didn’t." We go back-and-forth for minute before I grab the mirror and he shows me that I had a light patch of skin the size of a quarter on the back of my head.' Concerned, Lee showed the spot to his mother, who told him that it was probably the result of stress and that he shouldn't worry too much. However, not long after, more of the white patches began to appear. 'Another spot came up on the other side of my scalp, another one next to it about the size of two dimes, then some came on my hands, the corners of my mouth and the bridge of my nose,' Lee recalled. 'I knew something was wrong.' It was a year after that haircut that Lee finally consulted a doctor about the patches - and by then he was working as an entertainment feature reporter for WABC in New York City.

He said there was treatment but no cure,' Lee remembers. 'He kept talking but I didn’t really hear much of anything else because I was in my head thinking my career was over. I was already thinking of what else I could do with my communications degree.' But then, Lee says, he looked back on how much he had invested in chasing his dream of being a TV reporter - and how many others had helped along the way. From the junior high school teacher who sent an overly chatty Lee to the drama and debate club, instead of detention, to the college professor who helped him secure financial aid so he could study his craft, Lee concluded: 'Too many people invested in me for me to give up. I knew I had to figure it out.' Over the next few years, Lee took to covering up his condition with the help of make-up, managing to hide it from those around him. He says he suffered through many moments of doubt, but found encouragement from his family - in particular from his sister who offered him some advice that he now credits with helping him persevere.

And the only person I hear saying it is you, then stop saying it and just work. And let the chips fall where they fall. So I did.' His career kept moving forward and he was soon offered the role of entertainment anchor and reporter at WJBK Fox 2 in Detroit. In the early days he kept his condition hidden, but eventually the disease left Lee's hands completely devoid of color. That's when he decided it was time to stop hiding. 'I had to make a choice because imagine all the things that you touch in one day with your hands. And I would rather people think that I have a disease then think that I am dirty,' he says. 'That's when I stopped covering up my hands.' Although he revealed his true colors, so to speak, a decade a go, Lee still does cover the condition on his face with make-up - though not for any reasons relating to embarrassment or shame. 'I still wear make-up because I know that, for some people looking at me, [it] can distract them from what I’m actually saying,' Lee explains. 'The stories we cover are about the people that we're talking about or writing about - it’s not about us or me.

In celebrity interviews you only have about 5 to 10 minutes anyway and I don’t want to spend three of those minutes talking about me.' Aside from those settings, Lee is happy to show off his make-up-free skin. He has posed for many pictures displaying his natural looks and even appears on the news without make-up on World Vitiligo Day each year. But something that could have been a career-ender has turned into a career booster for Lee. He is now an international spokesperson for the disease, is involved in support groups for others with vitiligo in the Detroit area and has inspired people all over the world by sharing his story - both on TV and in his 2007 book, Turning White: A Memoir of Change. He hopes that one day the condition might be so normalized that he can stop wearing make-up at work entirely. 'Today I feel like this disease has made me the man that I always wanted to be,' Lee says. 'I am honorable respectful a good citizen a good father a good brother I am more compassionate and and I have more empathy than I ever thought I could have.' 'I was just a guy trying to survive and this story has turned into so much more. I never could’ve guessed that. As a reporter you want people to look at you, but I never thought telling my story would be the biggest story that I’ve ever talked about.'

I agree with her 100% I am a wife, a mother of 2 children who are both under 3 years of age, am a working mum as well (working from 7am to 6pm) so as to enable my husband and I share the bills 50/50. This gender roles where did it originate from? Surely not from God, its man-made. So after the day's work, a man will cross his legs and wait for food while the woman battles with preparing the food and also catering for the children at the same time and when she complains, the world of men call her LAZY. That is the highest height of wickedness!!! If a man is the only provider of the family then the chores and care for the family should be the woman's responsibility. The economy is getting worse by the day and in order for the family to stand well, both husband and wife would need to be bringing something to the table. And so after a long day at work, jumping from one vehicle to another, sitting in traffics for hours. She gets home, she baths the children, prepares your food.............[font=Lucida Sans Unicode]so who is the lazy one between MEN an WOMEN[/font] 5 Likes 1 Share |
