According to several resources, olive oil is the nature of the wonder drug. Olive oil is composed of up to 30 mg of vitamin E, which contains Provitamin A (carotene), up 83% acis monounsaturated fat (oleic), contains up to 20% polyunsaturated unfatty acis (linoleic), and was also up 23.5 Saturated fatty acids%. Olive oil is gluten free and virually salt free and a teaspoon contributes 8% of the RDA for vitamin E. According to the scientific and medical findings, diets rich in olive oil promote good health and longevity. It also reduces cholesterol and limits unnecessary arteriosclerosis. Otherwise, olive oil is the homeopathic way to prevent coronory disease.

Some information that most people are not aware of is that olive oil is beneficial when used as a tanning oil. Frottee on exposed areas, olive oil protects the skin from the harmful effects of UVA and sunburn. Olive oil is also effective on peptic ulcers, bone development, the developing nervous system and acts as antioxidants to keep the brain alert as we mature and age. Some cancers have actually been reduced in number (for example, breast and ovarian cancer), in the Mediterranean due to the consumption of olive oil. There are also claims that olive oil is a natural insect repellent too. With all the great benefits of olive oil, it makes one want to go out and buy everything.

Among the many wonders of the modern world, few of them are also often spoken of the Great Wall of China. This old (although still regarded as historic by modern) structure is a major tourist attraction, with many people around the world travel to China just to see the Wall. There are many facets of the Great Wall of China that intrigues people so far, and they will probably be many generations to come.

At that time, the Great Wall of China was built in the 3rd century BC, during the Qin dynasty. Additional work on the wall, as well as other versions of this enrichment, was not completed until the 17th century (AD), with the current Great Wall to be completed during the Ming dynasty between 1368 - 1640 . The initial objective of the Great Wall was to stop the invaders from areas such as Mongolia and Manchuria, to enter into China and trying to take over the country. The wall stretches over 3948 miles at the moment, and stretches from Shanhai Pass on the Bohai Sea Lop Nur in the autonomous region of Xinjiang Uygur. It is made of solid stone with clay from the inside.

Some plots on the Great Wall of China are not as impressive as its length and age. The wall was built mainly through forced labor, as the government during different dynasties ordered people to work on the Wall. It was a horrible and exhausting task, and about one million workers died in the process of building the Great Wall, attacks and other conditions. For this reason, it is sometimes known as the "largest cemetery of the Earth."

The state of the Great Wall of China at this stage of its history is poor, at best. Although some portions of the wall are maintained in good condition, near tourist centers, other parts of the wall had fallen into disrepair and had even been dismantled as a source of stone for the repair of homes. Only about 20 percent of the Great Wall today can be considered to be in good condition.

Although the merits of the Great Wall of China is relatively well known, it is a fact that is widely disputed: if you can see it from space. In recent years, it was concluded that one can indeed see the Great Wall from space with the naked eye, but it's not very visible, and you have to know where to look. But why see it from outer space? A trip to the Great Wall of China could be one of the greatest adventures of your life, and this is certainly one of the great wonders of the world to see.

The Trans-Siberian Railway or Trans-Siberian Railroad (Транссибирская магистраль, Транссиб in Russian, or Transsibirskaya magistral', Transsib) is a network of railways connecting Moscow and European Russia with the Russian Far East provinces, Mongolia, China and the Sea of Japan. The Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railway in the world. It was built between 1891 and 1916 to connect the Russian capital Moscow with the Far-East city of Vladivostok. En route it passes through the cities of Perm, Yekaterinburg, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Chita and Khabarovsk.

Construction
Full time construction on the Trans-Siberian Railway began in 1891 and was put into execution and overseen by Sergei Witte, who was then Finance Minister.

Similar to the First Transcontinental Railroad in the USA, Russian engineers started construction at both ends and worked towards the center. From Vladivostok the railway was laid north along the right bank of the Ussuri River to Khabarovsk at the Amur River becoming the Ussuri railway.

In 1890, a bridge across the river Ural was built and the new railroad entered Asia. The bridge across the Ob River was built in 1898 and the small city Novonikolaevsk, founded in 1883, metamorphosed into a large Siberian center—Novosibirsk city. In 1898, the first train reached Irkutsk and the shore of Lake Baikal. The railroad ran on to the East, across the Shilka and the Amur rivers and soon reached Khabarovsk. The Vladivostok-Khabarovsk branch was built a bit earlier, in 1897.

Convict labour, from Sakhalin Island Island and other places, and Russian soldiers were drafted into railway-building service. One of the largest obstacles was Lake Baikal, some 60 km (40 mi) east of Irkutsk. Lake Baikal is more than 640 km (400 mi) long and over 1,600 m (5,000 feet) deep. The line ended on each side of the lake and a special icebreaker ferryboat was purchased from England to connect the railway. In the winter sleighs were used to move passengers and cargo from one side of the lake to the other until the completion of the Lake Baikal spur along the southern edge of the lake. With the completion of the Amur River line north of the Chinese border in 1916, there was a continuous railway from Petrograd to Vladivostok that remains to this day the world's longest railway line. Electrification of the line, begun in 1929 and completed in 2002, allowed a doubling of train weights to 6,000 tonnes.

The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a tourist attraction along the Colorado River on the edge of the Grand Canyon (Grand Canyon West) in the U.S. state of Arizona.

Commissioned by the Hualapai Indian tribe, it was unveiled March 20, 2007, and opened to the general public on March 28, 2007. It is accessed via the Grand Canyon West terminal or 120 mile drive from Las Vegas (which includes an unpaved and bumpy 14-mile stretch).

The horseshoe-shaped glass walkway, at a 1,200 meter (4,000 foot) height above the floor of the canyon exceeds those of the world's largest skyscrapers.[1] The Skywalk is not directly above the main canyon, Granite Gorge, which contains the Colorado River, but instead extends over a side canyon and affords a view into the main canyon.[2] USGS topographic maps[1] show the elevation at the Skywalk's location as 1454m (4,770 ft) and the elevation of the Colorado River in the base of the canyon as 354m (1,161 ft).

The Burj Dubai (Arabic: برج دبي "Dubai Tower") is a supertall skyscraper currently under construction in the "New Downtown" of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Although not yet complete, it is currently the tallest high-rise building in the world. When it is completed, it will be the tallest man-made structure in the world. Scheduled for occupancy in 2009, the building is part of a 2 km² (1 mi²) development located at the "First Interchange" (aka "Defence roundabout") along Sheikh Zayed Road at Doha Street. Skidmore, Owings and Merrill LLP (SOM) of Chicago is the lead architect, structural engineer and mechanical engineer of the Burj. George Efstathiou of SOM is the Managing Partner on the project, while Adrian Smith, formerly of SOM, was the Design Partner.

The SnowCastle of Kemi is the biggest snow castle in the world. It is rebuilt every winter with a different architecture in Kemi, Finland. In 1996 the first snow castle drew no less than 300,000 visitors.

The area covered by the castle has varied from 13,000 to over 20,000 square meters. The highest towers have been over 20 meters high and longest walls over 1,000 meters long, and the castle has had up to three stories.
