Versace, the renowned fashion house, is to create the world’s first refrigerated beach so that hotel guests can walk comfortably across the sand on scorching days.
The beach will be next to the new Palazzo Versace hotel, which is being built in Dubai where summer temperatures average 40C and can reach 50C.
Aided by cheap oil and gas, Middle Eastern nations have poured enormous resources into controlling temperature. About 60% of Dubai’s huge power bill is for air-conditioning; each person living there has a carbon footprint of more than 44 tons of CO2 a year.

Thousands of shoes tie up Miami freeway; Lt. Pat Santangelo says the Florida Highway Patrol received a call about the shoes Friday morning on the Palmetto Expressway.
Santangelo says he's not sure where the used shoes came from. There were no signs of a crash and no one stopped to claim them. He says he hopes someone will take them because he doesn't want to send them to the dump.
No need, just give Imelda Marcos a bell.
Women use threat of no sex to stop fireworks
Se Spari, Niente Sesso (If you shoot no sex) as the group calls itself, claims to have signed up hundreds of women in the Naples area to combat celebrations that injure or maim hundreds each year.
Staiano said, "There are other ways to celebrate." And if men don't get the message, women should "send them to sleep on the couch."
So guys if you let off a banger……………..
