A woman nicknamed the 'Human Barbie' denies having plastic surgery to look like a real 'walking, talking' living version of the famous doll.
Bizarrely
Valeria Lukyanova, 30, also claims she looks nothing like the iconic
plastic girls' toy - and believes she has barely changed in looks since
being a 14-year-old teenager.
And she says any comparison is not only unintentional and one she disagrees with - but she also finds it insulting.
The
Ukranian model, DJ and singer - who has almost 350,000 followers on
Instagram - first came to attention three years ago after pictures
showing her tiny waist were posted online.
Fans have long believed she must have had surgery to get her looks.
But she insists her slender figure is just the result of a
good diet involving small amounts of raw fish and fresh fruit juice -
and lots of exercise.
In an interview discussing her appearance she said she is "just a classy girl".
Valeria
told showbiz and lifestyle website TooFab: "We all have changed since
our childhood from the age of 14 years I have not particularly changed
except for my body and hair colour."
"I do not think that I look like a Barbie I think I just look like a classy girl it takes about an hour and a half to do that."
When
asked what the biggest misconception surrounding her was, she replied:
"That I did a bunch of surgeries to look like a doll and know nothing
more about me it is actually completely different and my look is only a
side effect of my inner world."
But she added that she wouldn't completely rule out surgery in the future.
"If
I require it (plastic surgery) for my body then of course. I am not
against surgery. But for now there is nothing I need to do," she said.
In the past she has admitted to following a
'breatharian' lifestyle which is based on a cult that believes food -
and possibly water - are unnecessary to survive.
Lukyanova neither drinks or smokes - and claims that she is working towards being able to survive on no food whatsoever.

She Was Held In A Small Room For 8 Years But Received Hate Mail For Mourning Her Kidnapper
This was because she said she "mourned" Prikopil.
People claimed she was suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, which Kampusch says denied her the ability to judge her own experiences.She said, "Looking for normality within the framework of a crime is not a syndrome. It is a survival strategy."
The backlash got worse when she started receiving hate mail.
These letters were particularly harsh and ranged from saying she should be locked up again to denying that her experiences were as bad as she said.Now, Natascha says she wants to reclaim the interpretation of her own story.
This is why she wrote 3,096 Days, a book where she goes into her complex feelings about Prikopil. While he put her through unimaginable torment, he was also the only companionship she had during some of her most formative years.Sunday, 17 July 2016

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON Thug son of sex fiend repeatedly raped girlfriend, 15, before boasting to her: ‘Dad did it too’
Bethany Hazell suffered three sex attacks at the hands of vile James Hunt when she was a young girl
A YOUNG mum
has bravely told how she was repeatedly raped by a boyfriend who
boasted he was copying his sex fiend dad – bragging “like father like
son”.
Terrified Bethany Hazell suffered three sex attacks at the hands of
vile James Hunt when she was just 15 and 16 with the second leaving her
pregnant.She said supermarket worker Hunt chillingly told her: “Dad did it so I have done it now.”
Hunt was jailed for eight years in 2013 for the attacks – and raping another woman – after boasting of his crimes to a pal who was a PCSO.
The 21-year-old followed in the footsteps of his father Neil Hunt, 47, who was jailed for 12 years raping a woman on the street.
He sprang from his car, threw her to the ground and violently raped her before driving home and slipping into bed beside wife Heather.He is proud that he is like his dad
Bethany Hazellrape victim
His son, then 12, watched TV reports of the trial at Winchester Crown Court which ended in his dad’s conviction in July 2007.
Bethany, 21, of Cosham, Portsmouth, is now bringing up daughter Teagan-Hope, three, she had as a result of the second rape.
She said: “It looks like he is proud that he is like his dad. It’s like he thinks it’s a cool thing. It just makes me feel so sick. It is disgusting.”
Bethany and Hunt met at a district Scouts camp in 2010 when they were both just 15 but things quickly took a sinister turn.
She recalled: “I felt like I was in love with him – that it was going to be forever – but it was only three or four months into the relationship that things got nasty.I was scared. Warning bells rang but I just really loved him.
Bethany Hazellrape victim
“We were arguing about something – I can’t remember what – and he went to punch me but at the last second he punched the wall directly beside my head.
“I was scared. Warning bells rang but I just really loved him.
“He apologised and he seemed genuine about it – it was only once and he didn’t actually hit me.”
Six months into the relationship Hunt committed the first rape when he demanded sex for the first time and she said she wasn’t ready.
He ignored her protests and pinned her down and repeated the crime ten months later.
The third rape happened at her family home when Bethany was 20 weeks pregnant – while her parents were downstairs.
Bethany, who has waived her anonymity, said: “James isn’t bothered by what he’s done. He was like, ‘Oh well, dad did it so I have done it now.’
Real-life Barbie with 20-inch waist is so scary people run away from her
A WOMAN who has been called a ‘human Barbie’ claims that she looks so
doll-like that people often run away from her.
Andressa Damiani, 23, from Blumenau, Brazil has a 20-inch waist, wears a sizedoll-like that people often run away from her.
32F bra and has huge eyes and long legs – however she states that her
appearance is surgery free and insists that does not starve herself to be
skinny.
The Barbie girl first found fame in her native country when people in the
street calling her ‘Elsa’ because of her striking resemblance to the
Disney’s Frozen character.
Andressa said: “People don’t believe me when I say I have never had any
plastic surgery and they think I starve myself because I’m so thin. They
call me a liar.
“For as long as I remember I have always looked like a doll. I hardly wear any
heavy make-up on a daily basis, I don’t diet and I walk my dogs for
exercise.
“I like resembling a doll and I receive many lovely messages from fans.”
Andressa does however admit to wearing blue contact lenses to exaggerate the
size of her eyes and says that she achieves her doll-like look without
surgery – instead relying on beauty aids such as with hair extensions to get
her long flowing locks.
To look even more like a ‘doll’, Andressa uses white eyeliner pencil on the
waterline of her eyes to draw them wider; she then uses three different
shades of eyeshadow followed by a dark purple shade to add depth.
To create further depth and the illusion of bigger eyes, dark brown shadow is
applied under the eye and the lower lashes are glued on below the natural
lash line.
The cartoon-like eyes are then finished by applying winged eyeliner and false
eyelashes on the top line.
She then finished her make-up with girly pink lip-liner and lippie.
One of her most popular with one videos demonstrates a how to achieve her
‘Elsa’-style makeup – and has had more than one million views.

Facebook’s OpenCellular: A New Open Source Platform For Network Access In Remote Areas
Facebook – the blue network – has been a prime contributor to the open
source community. Over the years, they have managed to build various
open source tools for different platforms. A new addition that has been
made to their open source product list is OpenCellular. It is an open source wireless access platform developed by the minds at Facebook.
With their new OpenCellular system in action, Facebook eyes a cost-effective and dependable network solution for deployment in remote areas. Their system is flexible enough to provide multiple connectivity options ranging from the old 2G network to the 4G high-speed LTE network and even as a Wi-Fi access point. Well, I can call it the Optimus Prime of the cellular networks.
The hardware design and specifications of the OpenCellular platform will also be open sourced over time, says Facebook. They will focus on both the software and hardware front. The OpenCellular hardware is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and operating situations. It’s no wonder you may be able to use the internet in the dense Amazon forests or the Himalayan peaks in the near future.Facebook is working very hard to make sure that the OpenCelullar hardware requires minimalistic repairs as the location might be inaccessible sometimes. “It’s important for the system to function without much maintenance or service overhead, especially if it’s located in a remote area where technical experts aren’t readily available. To this end, we are extending an existing open source, real-time operating system that is easy to monitor and run remotely. The system can also reconfigure itself and issue alarms when additional support is needed,” – writes Kashif Ali in his blog post.
The hardware could be used to deploy a cellular access point or a complete network-in-a-box – like the one built by Nokia Networks a couple of years ago — in the regions were a little to no network coverage is present. It will come handy in situations of natural disasters where the cellular networks get out of service. Facebook will work with Telecom Infra Project (TIP) for the selection of trail location for “further validation of technical, functional, and operational aspects of the platform.”
This is another Facebook mission to make the internet available for the world. The internet.org initiative launched by Facebook will be definitely benefitted by the OpenCellular platform. In fact, a large chunk of the world population doesn’t have access to the internet or even basic things like clean water and nutritious food. Facebook’s open source efforts will be beneficial for such people. It can be used to provide education in hard to access areas where internet connectivity is only a dream of the future.

NASA’s 56 Patented Technologies Now Freely Available For Anyone To Use
NASA
has recently released a total of 56 patented space and rocket
technologies into the public domain. This step by NASA could be of much
greater use for companies like SpaceX which are already into this industry for some time.
Some of the inventions that NASA shared into the public domains are impressive and a few of them include techniques for manufacturing carbon nanotubes, super-efficient rocket engine, and aerogels which can sustain harsh conditions in the space.
It should be noted that the NASA’s carbon nanotubes technology is almost 20 times cheaper than current techniques which are being used in the space technology.
On the other hand, aerogels are a diverse class of porous and solid materials with extreme materials properties. The futuristic version of aerogel is planned to capture comet dust in the space.
One of the most notable techniques which are opened up by NASA for the public is the ‘smart’ nozzle for turbine engines. The smart nozzle is known to improve the performance and efficiency of aircraft by a great degree.
All the above-mentioned technologies, which were released, were developed for the NASA’s space missions.
Speculations are high that some technologies like enriched baby food, portable cordless vacuums and memory foam mattresses might hit the commercial market soon.
Daniel Lockey, from NASA’s ‘Technology Transfer’ programme, says,
It is sure that these recently released technologies are surely going to help SpaceX, let’s wait and watch for the future.
If you are interested in knowing more about these awesome and cool technologies, here is the link to the patent portfolio from NASA.

By
making these technologies available in the public domain, we are
helping foster a new era of entrepreneurship that will again place
America at the forefront of high-tech manufacturing and economic
competitiveness.
