Bullring

Bullring, Birmingham, United Kingdom

Bullring is a major commercial area of London consisting various shopping centers and stocks since the center was constructed in 1960. After 20 years of service, plans and proposals for the redevelopment started arriving for the first time in 1980. In 2000, demolition and planning the redeveloped building was permitted and traders were moved to Rag market in Edgbaston Street.
The Bullring shopping center was mainly designed and planned by Benoy and the major contractor was Sir Robert McAlpine. The Building is divided into two parts, East Mall and the West Mall with the Balustrades in the East Mall. The parts of the center are connected with underground passage having retail shops at both sides. The glass roof known as sky plane covers the 7000 m2 and appears to have support at all. The design of the building makes it a landmark and is one of the busiest places in London. The East mall consists of the Balustrades and the whole Bullring was designed to accommodate the traditional trade activities and modern retail shops together. The building is too beautiful and a masterpiece portrayal of 21st century architecture. The center was completed and opened in 2003 for the public. Among all the stores in the center, Selfridges is the most famous for its design.

The most Gruesome and filthy tortures invented in human history

Most Brutal tortures in the history Impalement Invented in                                       -     Romania Time Taken by the victim to die   -     15 min to 3 days Brief description                             -     This was considered the most inhumane way of torture ever adopted in the history. For Impaling a victim, a tapered and oiled wooden stake is inserted inside the anus (in case of men) or in vagina (for women) from the pointed side. After this, it is stood in the vertical position so that the stake is inserted slowly with the own wait of the victim over a long period of time. The punishment was carried out until the stake comes out of the victim’s breast, shoulder, stomach or mouth. The cruelest part of this torture was that the pointed end was kept blunt enough to not kill the victim too early, so that he/she would have to endure the pain for several hours or even days before dying.

Milestones of Human evolution

Milestones of Human evolution Theory of evolution states that we humans, like all other living species of the world have evolved from our ancestors. It is stated that a genetic mutation occurred in few members of an old species of chimpanzee and they were evolved into a newer species. This phenomenon continued for millions of years and we as humans were evolved finally. No doubt this phenomenon still continues and there are a lot of developments to happen. Well this post will only emphasize on the major milestones which occurred in our history of evolution. Toumai (Sahelanthropus) Believed to have existed 7 million years ago, this species is considered to have first evolved from chimpanzees. In this context they are the first known step in our evolution. For detailed information you may jump to Sahelanthropus which contains the detailed text about the species. Orrorin (Orrorin tugenesis) It is considered as the second big step in our evolution and is believed to
