World’s Most Expensive Motorcycles

Motorcycles have had mass appeal to the general public for roughly a century and a half. An American named Sylvester Howard Roper designed one of the first motorcycles in the 1860s. The motorcycle was displayed at fairs and circuses around the eastern U.S.. Europeans also had their hand in popularizing motorcycles and, during the World Wars, motorcycles functioned as a quick means of transportation.
As the motorcycle progressed, the engines and frames became bigger, sleeker, faster and more powerful, resulting in the high-tech and expensive motorcycles of today. If you can afford one, a custom motorcycle built to your exact specifications is within reach.
MV-Augusta F4CC – $120,000
World's Most Expensive Motorcycles - MV Agusta F4 CC
This expensive motorcycle was created by Claudio Castiglioni, MV’s director. He wanted to create a spectacular motorcycle that met strategic marketing needs while also being something truly special and unique. The expensive motorcycle bearing his very own initials “CC” has a top speed of 315 kph (195 mph), 1078 cc’s and a 198 hp engine. Each bike boasts a platinum plate located near the top of the steering column showing the model number from 1 to 100, making this motorcycle all the more special to its owners.
MTT Turbine SuperBike – $150,000
World's Most Expensive Motorcycles - MTT Turbine Superbike
Not only is this motorcycle expensive, it’s also extremely fast. This bike, also known as the Y2K Turbine Superbike, is the Guinness World Record holder for the “Most Powerful Motorcycle Ever to Enter Series Production”. The turbine engine in this one is made by Rolls Royce and is capable of over 300hp. The motorcycle also boasts carbon fiber fairings, a rear mounted camera with LCD color display, forward-and rear-looking radar detector with laser scrambler, one touch “Smart Start” ignition, and many other cool gadgets. This bike seams to be pretty popular in Hollywood. It starred in the movie “Torque” and even Jay Leno owns one!
Icon Sheene – $160,000
This bike was created by Andrew Morris in honor of legendary British Grand Prix motorcycle champion Barry Sheene, who died in 2003 at the age of 52. As such, only 52 of these 250 hp, turbocharged 1400cc motorcycles will be created, each emblazoned with a playing card hand-painted by the same artist who painted Sheene’s helmets, Mike Fairholme. Each of these bikes will be bespoke, tailored to fit the purchaser’s unique requirements.

09. Fleetwood Mac – Rumours – 40 million
Biggest Selling Albums
Eleventh studio album by British-American pop rockers Fleetwood Mac lands at our #9 with a total of 40 million copies sold around the globe. Of course, we’re talking about Rumours, and with hit singles like Dreams, Don’t Stop and You Make Loving Fun it’s no wonder really.
08. Bee Gees / Various artists – Saturday Night Fever – 40 million
Best Selling Album
There is about 99% chance that at some point you’ve already heard the opening song of 1977′s Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, the legendary Stayin’ Alive.
What you probably didn’t know is that Stayin’ Alive has 103 beats per minute, which is a perfect beat to perform CPR.
07. Eagles – Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) – 42 million
Best Selling Albums Eagles
America’s classic rock act, the Eagles land at our #7 with the best-of compilation named Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975). A number of 42 million copies sold worldwide definitely speaks for itself.

Top 10 Biggest Banks in World


10. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group – $1.818 trillion

Biggest Bank Japan MUFG
Our fist stop takes us to the land of the rising sun – Japan – and the globally renowned Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. As the crucial part of Mitsubishi Group and the biggest bank in Japan, this financial giant holds total assets of over $1.8 trillion. Although dating way back to 1880, MUFG was officially founded in 2005 and now employs 80,000 people, serving a wide array of global clients. Based in the capital of Tokyo, it is also the second biggest bank holding company in the world.

9. UBS – $2.019 trillion

Biggest Swiss Bank UBS
You might have expected that the biggest bank in the world would come from Switzerland, a global symbol of neutrality and banking, but Swiss representative UBS managed to reach only No. 9 on our list with slightly over $2 trillion assets. Founded in 1854 in Zurich, UBS operates in over 50 countries, employing a number of over 60,000 people worldwide. With a rich tradition stretching in three centuries, it is also the world’s biggest holder of private wealth assets.

8. Citibank – $2.188 trillion

Biggest Bank in the US
The biggest bank in the US, Citibank, lands at our No. 8 position. Once again, you might have expected a higher ranking, but it would seem that another continent is dominating the banking industry. As for the Citibank, it was founded in 1812 as the City Bank of New York and was officially renamed to its current name in 1976.
The bank definitely came a long way, as it is now the third biggest bank holding company in the United States. With operations based in over 160 countries, Citibank successfully handles the business of millions of users.

7. Credit Agricole – $2.268 trillion

Biggest Bank in the World CA
This brings us to the first French representative, the Credit Agricole bank. Officially founded in 2000, it is ranked among the younger banks on our list, but this hasn’t prevented the CA from becoming the biggest French retail banking group. With an impressive figure of over 160,000 employees, Credit Agricole is located in the capital of Paris. With over 21 million clients, this French titan is present in more than 60 countries around the globe.

6. HSBC – $2.354 trillion

Worlds Biggest Bank HSBC
Marking the arrival of the British on our list, HSBC takes the No. 6 position with total assets of more than $2.3 trillion. Originating in 19th century Hong Kong, the bank was officially founded in London in 1991. With 7,200 offices in 85 countries around the world, it serves a total of almost 90 million clients.
A larger portion of $2.354 company assets is located in Europe, Middle East and Africa, while the rest is equally distributed in Asia-Pacific region on one side and North and South America on the other. As a highly successful company, a number of over 260,000 truly speaks for itself.

5. Barclays – $2.459 trillion

Biggest Bank England
We are still in the UK, we are even still in London. As the oldest bank on our list, Barclays was founded way back in the 17th century, in the year of 1690 to be precise. Although it operates in 50 countries with a total client number of 48 million, both of which are drastically smaller than the HSBC numbers, it actually has higher assets of almost $2.5 trillion.
With a long tradition of over 3 centuries, it now employs about 150,000 people in various areas. Some of you might have heard of Barclays through their various sport events sponsorship including the Premiere League sponsorship lasting from 2001 or the more recent ATP World Tour finals sponsorship started in 2009.

4. BNB Paribas – $2,494 trillion

Biggest Bank in the World
We are gradually getting to the top, but before the big 3, we will make another stop in France, once again in the capital city of Paris. Founded in 2000, it takes the title of the biggest bank in France with total assets of almost $2.5 trillion. With 200,000 employees, it is present in 87 countries around the world. BNB Paribas is also known for controversial investments in the nuclear sector, with over $13 billion invested so far. This has caused various protests, including a large Greenpeace protest that took place in 24 French cities in October of 2011.

3. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China – $2.501 trillion

Biggest Bank in China
Cracking the top 3 is the biggest bank in Asia – the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the biggest employer on our list with a staggering number of over 405,000 employees. Founded in Beijing in 1984, it is among younger banks, but has grew quickly ever since and is now ranked as the 7th biggest public company in the world on Forbes Global 2000 list.
It is also the biggest bank in the world in terms of profit and market capitalization. With 18,000 outlets around the planet, it certainly proves itself as a banking giant. It also has the world’s biggest IPO and total assets of just over $2.5 trillion, rightfully earning it the place in the big league.

2. Deutsche Bank – $2.974 trillion

Largest Bank in Germany
Finally, the Germans have arrived, and they arrive in style, going straight for the No. 2 position. The biggest bank in Germany, Deutsche Bank, goes in favor of the nation’s hard working, productive reputation. With 4 times less employees than the previously listed Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the Germans have scored assets of almost $3 trillion.
Operating from the skyscraper center in Frankfurt, Deutsche Bank is active in over 70 countries, serving millions of clients with its 100,000 employees. Founded in 1870, it is rich with tradition and success, but just hasn’t managed to reach the great No. 1.

1. Royal Bank of Scotland – $3.808 trillion

Biggest Bank
With almost an entire trillion dollars more in assets than the previous company, The Royal Bank of Scotland triumphantly tops our list with whopping total assets of over $3.8 trillion, making it without a doubt the biggest bank in the world. Founded in 1727 in Edinburgh, it has about 700 branches, mostly located in Scotland, employing a total of over 140,000 people.
With a long tradition and rich history, the RBS is mostly owned by the UK government, which bought 82 percent of the company shares for a price of £42 billion ($65 billion). As the seventh European bank on our list and the third one from the UK, it just confirms the complete domination of the European companies in the banking business.

10 Unbelievable Medical Miracles


Surviving A Spike Through the Head

Phineas_GagePerhaps one of the most famous medical miracle stories told to students of neurology is that of Phineas Gage.  In 1848, Gage was the foreman of a construction gang preparing the bed of a new railroad line, when an explosion forced a 3 feet 7 inch long rod through his head.  The rod entered through the man's cheek and exited through the top of his head.
Miraculously, the rod was successfully removed by doctors, and Gage survived.  Unfortunately, he experienced obvious personality changes, and eventually died eleven years later after suffering from increasingly severe seizures.




Man Survives Steel Bar Through Chest

Twenty-two-year-old Supratim Dutta defied all odds when he survived being impaled by a 5 foot long, two inch thick iron bar. Dutta was impaled when his driver lost control of the car he was riding in and smashed into a barricade.
Spike_through_Chest
Miraculously, the iron bar missed all vital organs, and surgeons were able to remove it. Dutta was released from the hospital just two weeks later and made a full recovery.
Implanted Electrodes Wake Man After 6 Years
A serious assault left a man in a near-vegetative state for six years, until a medical team inserted electrodes into his brain with miraculous results.  The man, who had previously been unable to swallow, communicate or make coordinated movements of any kind, was suddenly able to talk, feed himself and interact with his family.  The man experienced almost immediate improvement when the electrodes were stimulated, and now they turn on and off every 12 hours to give him a normal sleep-wake cycle.
Implanted_Electrodes
The electrodes were used to stimulate the thalamus, an important region deep within the brain. This form of deep brain stimulation has been used to treat Parkinsons disease, but it had never been used before to treat a patient with this type of brain damage.

Brain With Leaky Veins Fixed with Superglue

17-month-old Ella-Grace Honeyman was born with a rare malformation of the blood vessels in the brain called Vein of Galen Malformation.  The malformation causes high pressures in the vein of Galen, resulting in aneurysms. In Ella-Grace, news reports state that the high pressure caused blood to leak into her brain and resulted in the formation of a potentially fatal aneurysm.
super_glued_brain
The condition is so rare, that the toddler had to be taken first to France, and then to the United States for treatment.  She underwent surgery that plugged the tiny holes in her blood vessels with a type of medical superglue. While she will still need more operations in the future, doctors say Ella-Grace will now be able to live a long and healthy life.
Four armed and legged Lakshmi survives surgery
Lakshmiwithmom_previewWhen a baby girl was born in rural India with four arms and four legs, she was thought to be a gift from God, and was given the name Lakshmi, after the four-armed Hindu goddess of wealth. Doctors found that Lakshmi actually had a twin, which had failed to fully develop, and had fused to her body.
A team of doctors were assembled, and they performed 27 hour surgery to remove the limbs, kidney and spinal cord from her twin. Then they re-oriented the girl's genital system and bladder, and closed her pelvis. Lakshmi made a miraculous recovery, and just three months after her operation, she was able to walk with a walker.



Man Walks Again After Being Chopped in Half

Peng Shulin's body was literally cut in half when he was hit by a lorry over a decade ago. It took a team of 20 medical professionals to save Peng's life, a feat which was a miracle in itself. Unfortunately though, Peng was left bedridden. Then, doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Center in Beijing came up with a plan to restore Peng's mobility.
bionic_legs
They designed him an eggcup shaped device with two artificial legs attached to it, enabling the determined man to walk again with the aid of a walker.

A First-Time Mother at 70

Mother_at_70Rajo Devi and her husband Bala Ram were married for 50 years before Devi gave birth to their first child, at the age of 70. The couple, who had struggled with the social stigma of infertility for decades,  finally conceived using in vitro fertilization and a technique called intra cytoplasmic sperm injection, which makes it easier to fertilize an egg with poor quality sperm.  Dr. Bishnoi from the Hisar Fertility Centre Treated Devi, and states that special care was taken to prevent a multiple pregnancy, which could have had catastrophic results for both Devi and her baby.  Both mom and baby are healthy, and Devi is currently the oldest woman known to have given birth to their first child.




Miracle Through a Magnet

A car crash left Josh Villa in a vegetative state for three years, until he was virtually jolted out of his coma using a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). TMS stimulates the brain using magnetic fields produced by an electromagnetic coil placed on the patient's scalp.
Previously, doctors have used TMS to treat depression, Parkinsons disease, stroke and migraine. The magnet sends a charge to the portion of the brain that works to signal the rest of the brain to wake up. Villa, who was given these treatments as a last resort, awakened after 15 treatment sessions. Unfortunately, after a total of 30 treatments, the sessions were stopped and Villa regressed. He was given more therapy, but is home now. Although he isn't back to normal, he is able to communicate and even express emotions.

Vision Restored Following A Key in the Eye

Nicholas Holderman was only 17-months-old when he became the victim of a freak accident that nearly robbed him of his sight. Nicholas was playing with his two brothers when he fell and landed on a set of keys. His parents were horrified when they realized that one of the keys had been lodged in his eye.
Key_in_eye
Nicholas was rushed to the emergency room, and his eye was immediately operated upon. Miraculously, he only spent only 6 days in the hospital, and just three months later, his vision was completely normal!

Man Survives Being Stabbed Through Head

knife_in_brainIn 1998, 41-year-old Michael Hill answered the door only to have a 8-inch knife stabbed through his skull and into his brain. Michael then walked down the street with the knife still in is head, until he arrived at a friend's home. He was taken to the hospital, and the knife was successfully removed. Hill survived, but his memory has been affected, and he suffers from seizures as a result of the horrifying attack.

8 Tips for better sleep

No blue light: Switch off the television and computer, and keep away the cellphone an hour before bedtime. The short waves of blue light may interrupt sleep.

                        Snooze! 8 Great Health Benefits of Sleep

Avoid naps: Though the occasional 20-minute power nap is a real boost, avoid any shut-eye eight hours prior to bedtime, as that can make falling asleep at night more troublesome.

Save the bed for sleeping: Your bedroom should only be limited for rest and relaxation. Keep the money talk, phone conversations and TV viewing out the door.

Set a routine: Fix hours for when you sleep and wake up. This puts a healthy sleep cycle in place, and allows you to fall asleep quickly each night and sleep well through the night.

No caffeine: Caffeine interferes with deep sleep, so avoid even small amounts found in chocolate and decaf coffee anytime after noon.

Eat light: You know what they say about eating like a pauper at night? Follow it. Prepare light, small meals for the night to get high-quality sleep.

                               Snooze! 8 Great Health Benefits of Sleep

Stop smoking: If there aren’t enough reasons to kick the habit, here’s another: nicotine acts as a stimulant and can keep from falling asleep and worsen insomnia.

Unwind: Though it may seem self-indulgent at first, fix a downtime routine an hour before bed each night. Take a warm bath, read a book, listen to soothing music and lower the lights to give your day the perfect close.

 A regular habit of seven to eight hours of sleep will help you stay active daily and ahead of the pack by keeping serious ailments at bay.

Top 8 health benefits of sleep


Reduces stress: In the case of sleep deficiency, the body’s functions enter a state of high alert, and cause an increase in blood pressure and production of stress hormones. The stress hormones make it harder to sleep and the higher blood pressure amplifies the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Boosts memory: In the time you’re asleep, the brain processes any new knowledge, organises the skills learned while awake, makes connections between events, feelings and memories, and sensory input. This helps you to process information and perform better.
                                            Snooze! 8 Great Health Benefits of Sleep

Healthier heart: A lack of sleep is often associated with increased blood pressure and cholesterol – factors directly responsible for heart ailments and strokes. Seven to eight hours of sleep will go a long way in promoting cardiovascular health.

Lowers inflammation: One of the most important benefits of sleep is that it helps to keep stress hormone levels in check. This allows the body to alleviate the levels of inflammation, which is known to increase the risk of heart-related diseases, premature aging, arthritis, cancer and diabetes.

Allows body repairs: The cells in the body produce more protein while you’re asleep, which aids the body in recovering from damage caused by stress, ultraviolet radiation, and other harmful exposures.

                                  Snooze! 8 Great Health Benefits of Sleep

Lower risk of depression: Sleep has an impact on several chemicals in the body, including serotonin, which causes depression in people in the event of a deficiency. The right amount of sleep, close to 7 to 8 hours, can prevent the onset of depression by producing enough serotonin.

Weight management: Lack of sleep may lead to an imbalance of the ghrelin and leptin hormones, which are crucial in regulating appetite. Additionally, the same part of the brain that controls sleep also increases metabolism. So to maintain or control weight, it is imperative to get adequate sleep.

Higher alertness levels: It follows logically that a good night’s sleep leads to more energy and alertness the next morning. This prepares the body for a day’s worth of activity and engagement, and increases the likelihood of another good night’s sleep. It’s a good circle to be caught in.

Top 10 Best Passenger Aircraft


10. Boeing 777 300ER

777-300ER was made by Boeing November 14 2002 and its first flight was on February 24 2003. 777 300ER was made after introducing some changes in the 777 300. Some of the changes made are more powerful General Electric GE90-115B engines which are at present the world’s most powerful jet engine, new main landing gear, a more solid body and provision of extra fuel tanks to cover more distance. It can carry up to 365 passengers.

 9. Airbus A321
After a slight modification in the A320, engineers have managed to develop A321. The efforts for the development for this aircraft started off way back in 1989 and its first flight flew in 1993. If we compare the two models, then the major changes implemented in A321 are stretched fuselage, strengthening of the undercarriage to carry heavy weights, better engine performance and larger tires for the purpose of better brakes. Its maximum cruising speed is 903 km/h.

 8. Airbus A320
Oops! I never said that A321 is better than A320, did I? Anyways, the A320 is the best among the family members and is the highest selling piece. It is also the first ever airliner to introduce to the market a fly-by-wire flight control system. Its maximum cruising speed is 903 km/h whereas economical cruising speed is around 840 km/h. One more characteristic of this plane is that it has advanced electronic flight-deck, with six fully integrated EFIS color displays and innovative side-stick controllers.

 7. Bombardier C130
This plane is manufactured by a Canadian organization Bombardier Aerospace. The model C130 is 130-seat plane. The first flight of Bombardier is planned in the second half of 2012. The seat-mile cost of this plane is lower as compared to other planes because it contains 46% composite materials and 24%aluminum-lithium. This also reduces the maintenance cost required for this plane. Its maximum cruise speed is 870 km/h.

6. Embraer 190
If we enlarge the E-170/175 family and add some features as larger wing, larger horizontal stabilizer and a new engine, the GE CF34-10E, than Embraer 190 is created. The first flight of Embraer 190 was on March 12, 2004. A New York-based low-cost carrier JetBlue was the launch customer of Embraer 190 which placed 100 orders with 100 options.

 5. Embraer 195
It is a 108-seated airplane and one of the largest aircraft ever built by Embraer. Let’s talk about the fuel consumption and maintenance cost of this plane. So, it is powered by twin under-wing General Electric CF34-10E engines and which are controlled by Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC). This computerized system helps the engine to adjust its level of performance during different phases of flight as we know that different output is expected of the engine in different modes of the flight. This Brazilian product flew its first flight on December 7, 2004 and it was first delivered to Swiss by the end of 2005.


4. Boeing 787 10X Dreamliner

It is developed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes and can seat 210 to 290 passengers which depend upon the variant of the plane. The company claims that it the best product in terms of fuel consumption and also it is the first major airliner to use composite materials for most of its construction. It is always about the passengers’ comfort. In consultation with the Oklahoma State University, the Boeing company has come to the conclusion that internal cabin pressure equivalent of 6,000 feet (1,800 m) altitude instead of the 8,000 feet (2,400 m) is better in terms of passenger comfort.

 3. Airbus A380 900
Airbus A380 is the main model and then Airbus A380 800 and Airbus A380 900 are the two further variants of this. Airbus A380 900 is a bit longer than its predecessor Airbus A380 800 with a seating capacity of 650 passengers in standard configuration, and approximately 900 passengers in economy-only configuration. This is a very gigantic airplane and can offer numerous benefits to the airline companies which intend to buy it. Due to the impressive make and design of this variant, many airplanes expressed interest in this model which include Emirates, Virgin Atlantic, Cathay Pacific, Air France-KLM, Lufthansa, Kingfisher Airlines, as well as the leasing company ILFC. It is the world’s largest airplane and entered its first commercial service on October 2007 with Singapore Airlines. Little wonder, many airports have to expand their size to accommodate this massive plane but it was really worth it.

 2. Boeing 747 8 Intercontinental
It was launched on November 14, 2005. The seating capacity of this plane is 467 passengers in a three-class configuration. If we compare the two models of Boeing, 747-400 and 747-8I, the 747-8I is 30% quieter, 16% more fuel-efficient, and have 13% lower seat-mile costs. A passenger facility is also proposed in this aircraft by Boeing which is called “SkyLoft”. This facility will include numerous things such as beds, entertainment appliances and business equipment. The first airline to order 747-8 Intercontinental was Lufthansa on December 6, 2006. 

1. ATR 72-500

It is an upgrade version of the ATR 72. It has introduced greater reliability and efficiency in the flight. Furthermore, it offers the lowest seat-mile cost in its class. If we talk in the context of customers, then this plane has a lot to offer to the passengers on board. It has a quiet, comfortable and spacious cabin with a new design and an in-flight entertainment system. It has significantly reduced the cost standards of the airplanes as it incurs very less engine and airframe maintenance costs. The fuel cost is also very low for this model which makes it a popular make for the market to consider.
