Picha nyingine ya aibu Kanye west na Kim kardashian.

She recently said she's working on being more guarded with her private life.
But perhaps Kim Kardashian meant after her baby with Kanye West is born.
The couple pose nude on the cover of French fashion magazine L'Officiel Hommes, the reality star caught in an expression sure to make her daughter blush as Kanye reveals his bare back, wrapping his arms around her.

 

 Kim Kardashian and Kanye West pose on the cover of the spring issue of French magazine

The black and white image features on the spring issue of the men's magazine, shot by Nick Knight.
Its release comes just days after Kim was forced to shut down rumours she is planning her exit from Keeping Up with the Kardashians after season nine.
It had been suggested that Kim may want to leave the show following the birth of her first child with Kanye West, after claiming her baby will not appear on television.

Angalia private jets of the world's richest ikiwemo ya Jack Chan.

Well known names who feature in the photos below include Jackie Chan, Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal and Donald Trump. Chan's plush jet has his name and intertwining dragons emblazoned on the side. Al-Waleed's has several planes and his 'flying palace' includes a concert hall complete with a grand piano. And Donald Trump's chosen transport has 18 IMAX-level speakers in the cinema room.

The prince has several planes including the smaller A Hawker jet, left, and the Boeing 747.

 The interior of Jackie Chan's Embraer SA Legacy 650 jet is designed to be relaxing. The plane transports up to 14 people

 Jackie Chan's plane is emblazoned with his name and personal logo

 The owners of most private jets like to keep their luxurious travel arrangements out of the public eye

Every part of a private plane can be customized to the final detail, like this exquisite sink

 The detail on these doors resemble a luxury home rather than a means of transportation

 This kitchen could produce a gourmet meal to wile away the hours on a long flight

The curving lines of this jet disguise the fact you are inside an aircraft

 Even large bathrooms are elegantly designed to make a big impression

On this jet, even the pilots travel in sheepskin luxury

Bespoke: Donald Trump bought his private jet from Microsoft executive Paul Allen for $100 million in 2010 and then he customized it. It includes a cinema room and little extras like gold faucets and seat buckles

 There's no mistaking that this plane belongs to Donald Trump from the outside

 Each plane can be configured for work, play or both

 Panels and screens section off different areas of the impressive jets

 These private jets provide huge levels of comfort

 In this plane the mirrored ceiling creates the illusion of a bigger space

 

There's enough space to stretch out on this plane

'Zombie' cells are created in lab... and they outperform their living counterparts.

It may sound like something from a science fiction film, but scientists say they have created 'zombie cells' - that continue to work after they are dead.
But unlike the walking dead of Hollywood, these cells actually perform some functions better than when they were alive.
Scientists say by coating organic cells in silicic acid they are able to withstand far greater temperatures and pressures than flesh.

The cells are coated in silicic acid and it 'embalms' the living cell and can survive greater temperatures than flesh

The technique means scientists can preserve valuable biological material by 'converting it into a fossil.'
The process was developed by researchers from Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque and the University of New Mexico.
Scientists used silicic acid to 'embalm' the mammalian cells and create a near-perfect replica of its structure.

 

They believe the zombie cells could be used in commercial manufacturing, including fuel cells or sensor technology and may be the future of nanotechnology.
 'It's very challenging for researchers to build structures at a nanometer scale. We can make particles and wires, but 3-D arbitrary structures haven't been achieved yet,' lead researcher Bryan Kaehr was quoted as saying in The Huffington Post.
He added: 'With this technique, we don't need to build those structures - nature does it for us.'

The process was developed by researchers from Sandia National Laboratories and University of New Mexico

Silica has been known for its hard properties since ancient times and is found in sand and quartz.
The living cells are painted with the acid in a petri dish and the silica solution then forms a replica down to the most minute detail.
By being able to survive extreme pressures and temperatures, the zombie cells can 'perform some functions better than when they were alive', says Michael Hess at the American Office of Public Affairs.
He said by heating the silica to 400C, the organic part of the cell is evaporated and the solution is kept as a 'three-dimensional Madame Tussauds wax replica of a formerly living being.'
Mr Kaehr said the process means the cells can carry on 'working' even after they are dead.
He said: 'King Tut was mummified to approximately resemble his living self, but the process took place without mineralisation [a process of fossilisation].
'Our zombie cells bridge chemistry and biology to create forms that not only near-perfectly resemble their past selves, but can do future work.'

Scientists use 3D printing and human cells to GROW artificial earlobes that look and work like real ones.

Bioengineers have used 3D printing to achieve a breakthrough in prosthesis by creating the first artificial ears that look and act like real ones.
A new study by researchers at Cornell University, New York, shows how prosthetic ears almost indistinguishable from natural ones can be 3D printed using gels made of living cells.
Not only that, but over a three-month period these flexible, artificial ears grew even their own cartilage to replace the collagen used to mould them.

 

'This is such a win-win for both medicine and basic science, demonstrating what we can achieve when we work together,' said study author Lawrence Bonassar, associate professor of biomedical engineering.
The novel ear may be the solution surgeons have long wished for to help children born with ear deformity, said co-author Dr Jason Spector, professor of plastic surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College.

 

'A bioengineered ear replacement like this would also help individuals who have lost part or all of their external ear in an accident or from cancer,' he said.
Currently, replacement ears are usually constructed with materials that have an unnatural Styrofoam-like consistency
Alternatively surgeons may sometimes build ears from a patient's harvested rib, but this option is challenging and painful for children, and the ears rarely look natural or perform well, said Dr Spector.
