Guinness World Record at Los Angeles for Largest Continuous Concrete Pour

Los Angeles – Workers made a Guinness World Record at a largest concrete foundation in western USA by pouring more than 2,100 truckloads continuously over more than 18 hours to set a world record. That building is getting constructed to make it the largest skyscraper in that area of western United States of America.

The Wilshire Grand Project made a Guinness World concrete record for the largest continuous pour of concrete, a witnessed Guinness judge said on Sunday. Around 82 million pounds of concrete was poured at the foundation on Sunday in Los Angeles for continuously more than 18 hours which created a world record.
Michael Empric, adjudicator from Guinness said on the scene that, everything just went about as picture perfectly as they expected. It was kind of like a ballet of trucks, fast moving in and out all the time to get this record done.

The concrete pouring work began an afternoon on Saturday at downtown construction site, where the University of Southern California marching band led the parade of concrete trucks. There were 208 concrete trucks delivered 21,000 loads of concrete which weight 82 million pounds, hauling the material from several concrete manufacturing plants around the region.

The concrete was completely poured on 21,200 cubic yards from Saturday afternoon to just before noon on Sunday clearing the previous record of 21,000 cubic yards which was set by Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas in the year 1999, Empric Said. A system of Chiller pipes were installed inside the foundation to cool the concrete as it solidifies.

A Korean group that owns Korean Air Lines is building this construction for $ 1 billion used for private hotel and office. This 73-story high construction building will reach 1,100 feet after finishing which make it the tallest structure in west of Mississippi River. This private hotel is expected to open in the year 2017.

Christina’s Bathroom Death Issue Settled out of Court

WILMINGTON - A hospital and the relatives of Christina Atkins, a 14-year-old girl who died after becoming unable to breathe while she was in a locked bathroom there have settled out of court to resolve a lawsuit brought by the girl's family.

The family of Christina Atkins, who was a ninth-grader from Milton when she died in May 2011, agreed to a resolution that included monetary compensation, said their attorney, James P. Hall. The Atkinses, he said, are also pressing Delaware lawmakers to pass a bill ensuring all hospitals give their staffs quick access to keys that unlock bathroom doors.

According to the report in USA Today, "The parents and siblings miss Christina a great deal," Hall said, "but they're trying to take this loss and build from it and keep her spirit alive. Her death might ultimately save lives around the country." Superior Court records show the Atkinses and Beebe Healthcare told a judge in mid-January that a "resolution has been reached" allowing the lawsuit to be dismissed.

In the original complaint, filed in September 2012, the family said Christina's mother, Bonnie Atkins, took her to the emergency room at what was then called Beebe Medical Center in Lewes on May 26, 2011. The teenager had recently been treated for a urinary tract infection and was feeling "extreme discomfort and distress," the lawsuit said.

A nurse in the ER asked Christina to provide a urine sample, pointing her to the restroom. In the locked bathroom, Christina "began to experience respiratory difficulty, which was heard by Christina's mother ... and to nursing and medical personnel in the emergency room department who were all outside the restroom door," the lawsuit said.

"I could hear the sounds of my daughter gasping for air," Bonnie Atkins said in testimony in the state House of Representatives last summer in support of a bill that would require hospitals to ensure staff have "ready access to a locked hospital bathroom" in an emergency. "I watched staff stick pens, paper clips and pins in an effort to unlock that door. It would be more than 10 minutes later that security was finally able to locate a key to free my daughter. I never again heard her speak." After a security staffer with a key finally opened the door and ER workers rushed in, Christina was "not responsive," the lawsuit says. She was flown to Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, where she died two days later. The family's blog and memorial websites honoring Christina indicate she was likely suffering from toxic shock syndrome, caused by a bacterial blood infection, before she went to the ER.

The hospital's November 2012 response to the lawsuit admitted no master key was found at the ER's head nursing station, but denied that its nurses and maintenance workers "did not know where the master key was located within the hospital." The stipulation between the Atkinses and Beebe found in court records dismissing the suit does not contain any admission of fault on Beebe Healthcare's part. In a statement Tuesday, Beebe's vice president of quality, safety and risk management, Marcy Jack, said the plaintiffs and Beebe "have amicably resolved the case to everyone's mutual satisfaction."

The hospital, Jack said, "began putting changes into place as soon as the event occurred ensuring access to locked bathrooms," and said all staff are told "to be alert to the smallest signal of a threat to safety and follow up and report the condition before it reaches a patient or visitor or employee."

Best Exotic Bars in Beautiful Caribbean

Shaken or stirred, frozen or on the rocks, with a cherry on top or delivered to a beach towel on the sand, cocktails are the champions of the Caribbean and although every island and every beach bar boasts its own boozy claim to fame, a really fine drink can morph a great holiday into a grand one. And the right watering hole can keep you lingering long after your thirst is quenched.

According to the Report in USA Today, below listed are the ultimate sexiest bars in the Carobbean Islands,

Spice is right: Grenada
 

Shaken with ice and keeping a martini glass company, Spice Seduction is the aptly named pour at the Sea and Surf Terrace at the Spice Island Beach Resort. The recipient of umpteen awards, the resort is the quintessential island chill-out. And the pretty mélange of dark rum, the local De La Grenade liqueur which tastes like nutmeg, Blue Curacao made on that other island, orange juice, squeeze of lime to liven it up and a splash of Grenadine to sweeten it up is another reason to extend your stay, at least for one more cocktail hour.

Spice Island Beach Resort, Grenada

Big blue: Aruba

Everything in it is blue from the muted blue lighting to the Blue Sky Martini stirred (or shaken). So hip it hurts, Blue Bar on the pool deck at the Renaissance Aruba is the epicenter of cool with one of the happiest Happy Hours on the island, featuring a myriad of martinis and tapas to wash them down.

 Over the top: Jamaica

Celebrating the big 4-0 this year, Rick's Café on the West End cliffs high above Negril is where the brazen go to leap 35 feet into the sea and where those cheering them on go for the potent planter's punch. Opened in 1974 by an American expat, the perch on the hill does a brisk business with spring breakers, regular Joe's and newlyweds who swear by the 'Jamaican Viagra' blended with stout beer, white rum, oatmeal, one egg and finished off with chocolate syrup.

Rise and shine: Anguilla

The drink of choice is slightly sweet, dangerously potent and deliciously popular. With a hint of fermented ginger, rum punch-based Duneshine is poured nonstop at the Dune Preserve on Rendezvous Bay. As iconic as the drink, the club's owner is as close to a local legend as it gets. Bankie Banx, a reggae musician by day and night, is also the brains behind Moonsplash -- the biggest festival of the year that brings the house down at the Dune for three days in March. Fashioned from driftwood, out-of-commission racing boats and seashells, the shack on the beach is also revered for A-list celeb-spotting and the honey-glazed ribs grilled over charcoal. For diehards, tickets for Moonsplash, March 13-16, will sell out quickly (so will the ribs).

Drop in the bucket: St. Thomas

If you haven't yet sipped from an ice-filled bucket of VooDoo Juice, Iggie's Beach Bar at the Bolongo Bay Resort is the place of fruity first introductions. Packed with five kinds of Cruzan rum and a splash of fruit juice, the happy hooch goes exceptionally well with a pile of conch fritters and the house-made mango dipping sauce.

Spoonful of sugar: Grand Cayman

Either dessert in a glass or a vacay mainstay, Cayman Mudslide is a boozy tower of ice cream, vodka, Irish Cream, Kahlua and amaretto. In a cold glass on a hot afternoon, the heady drinks are big sellers at the Tortuga Beach Bar at the Westin Grand Cayman. For those with less adventurous tastes buds, stick to the cucumber martini at the Catboat Bar in the lobby. Across the street at the Sunshine Suites, bartenders pour a mean and minty mojito at the Sunshine Grill, which is not only on the A-list for flip-flop regulars but is also Trip Adviser's No. 1 of 49 restaurants in Seven Mile Beach. For those with an unrelenting thirst for the strong stuff, keep your eyes on the clock as the bars stop pouring at midnight.

Painkillers: Jost van Dyke

A watering hole like few others, the liquid claim to fame at the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands is the wildly popular Painkiller -- an intoxicating blend of pineapple, orange and coconut juices fortified with Pusser's dark rum and drizzled with nutmeg. With fewer than 300 inhabitants who at one time included William Thornton, the designer of the U.S. Capitol Building, the ragtag isle is where hammock-sitters, beach towel aficionados and everyone else with time on their hands come to sip until the last one leaves. With a crafty marketing muscle, membership in the Official Painkiller Club comes with a sometimes published newsletter and any benefits you can score by showing it to savvy bartenders worldwide.

Libations in the library: Nevis

On the unsung island across the channel from St. Kitts, the classy Library Bar in the swanky Four Seasons Nevis is time travel back to the days before mega resorts and big buffets. In the grand Great House, bartenders pour sass in a glass called a Mangojito that is crafted with the local Brinley's Gold Mango Rum, mint sprigs, a dash of a few other things and a soda spritz to make it sing.

Bottoms up: St. Maarten

Right at the end of the runway at the Princess Juliana International Airport, Sunset Bar is so close to the action that it might as well be part of the airport. Heads and shoulders above a typical shack on a tropical shore, this one is a big hit with plane spotters who come to watch the jets soaring so close to the beach that many claim they can wave to the pilots in the cockpit. With a Runway Rum Punch in hand, aviation fans listen to air traffic control chatter broadcast on speakers and synch their photo-taking with the flight schedules posted on a giant surfboard. Tip to tourists: The bar is less crowded with out-of-towners on Sunday afternoon and more popular with locals who come for a dip at Maho Beach.

No frills: Barbados

They may not be fancy but there are plenty of them. They're called rum shops and if you believe local lore, there's upwards of 1,200 on the island, which according to the old-timers, is more than the number of churches. With at least one in every village, these no-frills social hubs, such as John Moore Bar and The Watering Hole, are also the go-to spots for a plate of flying fish with a wedge of macaroni pie and the latest cricket scores.
