A home in which washing the dishes will be a delight and not a chore.
A concept that might sound far-fetched.
But‚ not if you consider the fact that the kitchen of the home made from parts of a retired 747 jumbo jet will offer a majestic view that is guaranteed to take one's breath away.
Over in Malibu‚ Francis Rehwald is building her dream house on her 22-hectare plot of land in the remote hilly area that overlooks a landscape of mountains‚ valleys and the Pacific Ocean.
Architect David Hertz suggested using an airplane wing for a floating roof with a lot of columns that would help the resident look down the beautiful mountain range.
Upon research they learned that hundreds of retired aircrafts are available for sale in a large junkyard in the Mojave Desert.
The plane of their choice cost a mere US 35 thousand dollars‚ which meant that the duo only had to pay the price of the plane's principal raw material aluminum.
Hertz had to obtain permits from 17 different government agencies and have 5 freeways closed at night to have trucks deliver the cut pieces of the plane.
The completed "Wing House" will incorporate solar power‚ radiant heating‚ natural ventilation and high performance heat mirror glazing.
Over in Poland‚ Sausage Dogs or Dachshunds were celebrated in an annual parade.
The participants included not just local Sausage Dogs and their owners‚ but those from all corners of the globe as well.
According to dog handlers and breeders‚ Sausage Dogs are very calm dogs that are good for living with and playing with kids.
The annual parade first took place on May 1st‚ 1973.
Back then‚ the date was a bank holiday meant to celebrate the glory of the nation's one party rule.
Not surprisingly‚ the march was banned as it was mistakenly perceived as a move to ridicule the Communist authorities.
But Communism in Poland eventually collapsed and in 1994‚ a local radio station gave the tradition a second lease of life by bringing the parade back.
The theme for this year's march was "medieval battle dress."
Special awards were given to participants with the most original costume‚ the most interesting dachshund portrait and the most endearing poem.
September 5th is Teacher's Day over in India.
The date is chosen as it is the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan‚ a scholar and teacher who went on to become the President of India in 1962.
On this special occasion‚ the current Indian President Pratibha Devisingh Patil spoke to teachers from across the country.
She expressed great displeasure over the practice of ragging that has blemished the education system of India.
She highlighted the fact that the practice is a manifestation of intolerance on the part of senior students and that something must be done to put an end to it.
The President urged educators to play a more active role in preventing the ragging menace.
She also announced that more enforceable rules are being prepared to solve the issue of instability in the teaching system.
