World's Biggest Scientific Experiment LHC

View of the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment Tracker Outer Barrel (TOB) in the cleaning room. The CMS is one of two general-purpose LHC experiments designed to explore the physics of the Terascale, the energy region where physicists believe they will find answers to the central questions at the heart of 21st-century particle physics.

The Globe of Innovation in the morning. The wooden globe is a structure originally built for Switzerland 's national exhibition, Expo'02, and is 40 meters wide, 27 meters tall. (Maximilien Brice; Claudia Marcelloni, © CERN)

Assembly and installation of the ATLAS Hadronic endcap Liquid Argon Calorimeter. The ATLAS detector contains a series of ever-larger concentric cylinders around the central interaction point where the LHC's proton beams collide. (Roy Langstaff, © CERN)

Checks are performed on the alignment of the magnets in the LHC tunnel.. It is vital that each magnet is placed exactly where it has been designed so that the path of the beam is precisely controlled. (Maximilien Brice, © CERN)

The ALICE Inner Tracking System during its transport in the experimental cavern and its insertion into the Time Projection Chamber (TPC). ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment @ CERN) will study the physics of ultrahigh-energy proton-proton and lead-lead collisions and will explore conditions in the first instants of the universe, a few microseconds after the Big Bang.

The LHCb electromagnetic calorimeter. This huge 6X7 square meter wall consists of 3300 blocks containing scintillator, fibre optics and lead. It will measure the energy of particles produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC when it is started. Photons, electrons and positrons will pass through the layers of material in these modules and deposit their energy in the detector through a shower of particles. (Maximilien Brice, © CERN)

Aerial view of CERN and the surrounding region of Switzerland and France . Three rings are visible, the smaller (at lower right) shows the underground position of the Proton Synchrotron, the middle ring is the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) with a circumference of 7 km and the largest ring (27 km) is that of the former Large Electron and Positron collider (LEP) accelerator with part of Lake Geneva in the background.

Cão amputado ganha pata biônica de R$ 35 mil

Buldogue de 8 anos tem prótese que é utilizada para vítimas de atentados.
Cachorro perdeu a pata no ano passado após tratamento contra câncer.

O amor do segurança Reg Walker por Coal, um buldogue de 8 anos, não tem limite. Pelo menos financeiro. Walker pagou 10 mil libras esterlinas, o equivalente a cerca de R$ 35 mil, para colocar uma prótese na pata dianteira esquerda do cão, amputada por conta de um câncer em 2007.

Here are 7 pictures of (European) semi-trucks whose trailers are decorated to look like the sides are missing

The first one is of a bottle of beer and looks so real, like it is coming out the side of the trailer.


The second is of canvas tote bag.


The third is of Pepsi cases and they are all stacked on the ceiling, and the bottom of the trailer is empty.


The fourth is of another truck with the windshield facing the back and there has been a driver painted in the driver's seat looking back over his shoulder to appear like he is driving backwards.

The fifth one is of an aquarium with fish swimming in it




The sixth one is of a bookshelf with books lined up in it and a post-it-note with an advertisement on it, probably for the company that sells the books. (Again, in a foreign language)




The last one is for Pringles-Hot & Spicy. The "inside" of the trailer has the appearance of having been through a fire.
