pop up "loos" in London. Loo is the British word for toilet. It's a pretty interesting concept for guys who aren't modest(I.

Observing conventional proprieties in speech, behavior, or dress. IV. Free from showiness or ostentation; unpretentious. V. Moderate or limited in size, quantity, or range; not extreme: a modest price; a newspaper with a modest circulation.)! World travel is always a trip! And in recent years an increasing number of loos have been popping up, quite literally around London! The new pop up toilets are basic urinals for men. In most areas, they are programmed to pop up from underground around 10pm and then disappear the next morning around 6 when all the drinkers have since gone home. You can view a video of the loos popping up and back down ( To withdraw from a position, opinion, or commitment. ) again here. These pop up loos are not for the modest, however. While offering a slight bit of protection from curious people watching guys relieve themselves, they are basically going number one with people watching. These urinals are designed for men only although from time to time a very liquored up woman will try to negotiate them, usually with very poor results and a lot of laughs from onlookers! Why the pop up loos? Well each year guys leaving pubs with maxed out bladders and stop and do their business on building sides and corners making for an expensive and ongoing clean up process. It's hoped that the pop up loos will help cut down on random tinkle terrorism(tinkle I. To make light metallic sounds, as those of a small bell. II. Informal To urinate. tickle the ivories to play the piano. I used to be able to tickle the ivories real nice. She sat down to tickle the ivories for a while. give somebody a tinkle (old-fashioned, informal) to telephone someone. Okay then, I'll give you a tinkle when I get home. ). "Facilities" vary widely depending on which country you're visiting. While we were in China my wife was appalled at their "restrooms." It's basically just a hole in the ground with a bucket of water and a ladle. After you're done with your business you tidy up using only your left hand. No toilet paper, nothing, just the ladle ( ladle ['leidəl] 勺子. A long-handled spoon with a deep bowl for serving liquids. a long-handled spoon having a deep bowl for serving or transferring liquids a soup ladle) and water. And when eating in restaurants, you never touch your food with your left hand. Only the "clean" right hand must be used to touch food. And that applies in many countries where the ladle system is used. One of the weirdest restrooms I've ever encountered came in Munich, Germany at the main train station. The restroom was downstairs and as I entered it appeared as if the guys were doing their business right on a wall and nothing more. But as I approached it all came together. While they were aiming at the wall it was designed that way. It flowed down the wall into a little channel at the base about 2 inches wide. The channel was slanted so that the liquid ran off and into a sewer at a lower level. Traveller's tinkle terror: A motorist who stopped at the Gold Coast to answer a call of nature ended up injured and stranded when he stepped on an ants' nest and fell down a 100 metre slope. The hapless motorist's ordeal began when he stopped beside the road in the Lamington National Park around midnight last night, police said. He first stood on a nest of meat ants, which swarmed out and began biting him. As the man scrambled away from the nest he lost his footing 立足不稳 and tumbled 100 metres down a steep slope. Police said his fall was slowed by soil and scrub and he stopped on a narrow ledge above a sheer drop. His companion raised the alarm and four hours later, ambulance officers and rescue firefighters abseiled down ( abseil 美['æbsail] 英澳 [æbseil] 滑下, 滑绳而下, 顺绳滑下 Mountaineering To rappel. to descend a steep slope or vertical drop by a rope secured from above and coiled around one's body or through karabiners attached to one's body in order to control the speed of descent. 美国人用rappelling [rəˈpel] or rap jumping. 英国人用abseiling or abbing. 澳洲人用abseiling. 加拿大用deepelling. Abseiling (['æbseil]), also called rappelling, is the controlled descent down a rock face using a rope. Climbers use this technique when a cliff or slope is too steep and/or dangerous to descend without protection. Rope access technicians also use this as a method to access difficult-to-reach areas from above for various industrial applications like maintenance, construction, inspection and welding. Rescue teams are also known for using this method as a way to access injured or stranded victims. Slang terms for the technique include: rapping or rap jumping (American slang), deepelling (Canadian slang), and abbing (British slang for "abseiling"). The term rappel / rappelling, used extensively in the United States, is derived from the French language: French, recall, return, rappel, from Old French, recall, from rappeler, to recall: re-, re- + appeler, to summon. rappel [ræ'pɛl] n. A descent of a vertical surface, as a cliff or wall, by sliding down a belayed rope that is passed under one thigh and over the opposite shoulder or through a device that provides friction, typically while facing the surface and performing a series of short backward leaps to control the descent. v. To descend from a steep height by this method. Australian rappel: Australian abseiling (also known as rappeling, rap jumping,or deepelling) is the process of descending a fixed rope in a standing position while facing the ground. The technique is used as a military 'assault' technique where a soldier is belayed, allowing them to face down the descent and fire a weapon. In Australia, it is not commonly known as "Australian", "Aussie" or even "rappelling"; instead the term "abseiling" (based on the German term "abseilen" which literally means "to rope down," and generally refers to standard rappelling in British and American English) is more commonly used than "rappelling" and the technique is referred to as "Geneva" style.) the slope to the injured man, who suffered only minor injuries in the fall. He was eventually winched back to the road in a rescue basket before being taken to in the Gold Coast hospital hospital suffering from mild hypothermia, scratches and bruising.
The sex-change 变性( gender reassignment surgery. gender realignment surgery ) sweethearts: How a pageant princess and colonel's son fell in love after BOTH had transgender treatment变性手术: To the casual observer不注意看的话, this young couple look just like any other teenagers in love. But pretty Katie Hill and her boyfriend Arin Andrews share a unique bond - they were both born as the opposite sex. Katie,
18, spent the first 15 years of her life as Luke, son of a Marine
colonel, while Arin, 16, was born a girl called Emerald who excelled at
ballet dancing and won beauty contests. Both struggled
with their sexuality all through their childhoods and were teased and
bullied but their lives were changed when they both began hormone
therapy and later met at a trans support group in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and
instantly fell in love. Katie said: 'All I saw was a handsome guy. We're perfect for each other because we both had the same troubles growing up. 'We're both size five, so we even swap our old clothes our mum's bought us but we hated. 'We
look so convincing 具有说服力的 as a boy and a girl, nobody even notices now. We
secretly feel so good about it私下感觉良好 because it's the way we've always wanted
to be seen.' High-school student Arin undergoes testosterone [tɛ'stostə,rəun] 睾酮注射, 雄性激素 shots to give him the more masculine shape he's craved his whole life. Meanwhile
high-school graduate Katie, 18, has finished her female hormone course -
oestrogen shots( oestrogen ['i:strədʒən 'ɛstrə-] US, estrogen 雌性激素 ) - which helped her to develop natural breasts with no
silicone 硅胶植入 implants. Katie, who has legally been a female
since she was 15, believes she was born with naturally high levels of
oestrogen and was teased as a boy throughout school for having small
AA-cup breasts. An anonymous donor was so touched by
her story they paid for her £25,000 ($40,000) gender reassignment
surgery变性手术 just four days after her 18th birthday on May 16, 2012. Katie
added: 'Even from age three, I knew deep down I wanted to be a girl.
All I wanted was to play with dolls. I hated my boy body and never felt
right in it. 'I
kept my feelings a total secret growing up and was petrified of ( ['pɛtri,fai] I. To convert (wood or other organic matter) into a stony replica by petrifaction. II. To cause to become stiff or stonelike; deaden. to make or become dull, unresponsive, insensitive, etc.; deaden. III. (tr; often passive) To stun or paralyze with terror; daze. to stun or daze with horror, fear, etc. ) what
people in our tiny Christian town would say. Now Arin and I can share
any problems we face together.' Arin recalls a similar experience and says he knew he was a boy inside from his first day at school, aged just five. 'The
teachers separated the girls and boys into separate lines for a game,'
he said. 'I didn't understand why they asked me to stand with the girls. 'Girly
things didn't interest me, but I was worried what people would think if
I said I wanted to be a boy, so I kept it secret.' Arin's
mother Denise, 41, encouraged him to compete in local pageant contests
and he became an accomplished female ballet and clogging dancer(Clogging is a type of folk dance in which the dancer's footwear is used musically by striking the heel, the toe, or both against a floor or each other to create audible percussive rhythms, usually to the downbeat with the heel keeping the rhythm. The dance style has recently fused with others including African-American rhythms, and the Peruvian dance "zapateo" (which may in itself be a derivate of very early European clog dances), resulting in the birth of newer street dances, such as tap, locking, jump, hakken, stomping, Gangsta Walking, and the Candy Walk dance. The use of wooden-soled clogs is rarer in the more modern dances since clog shoes are not commonly worn in urban society, and other types of footwear have replaced them in their evolved dance forms. Clogging is often considered the first form of street dance because it evolved in urban environments during the industrial revolution.). But Arin's secret love was riding motocross ( Motocross is a form of motorcycle racing held on enclosed off-road circuits. The sport evolved from motorcycle trials competitions held in the United Kingdom. Motocross is a physically demanding sport 身体条件要求高 held in all-weather conditions.) bikes with his father Mitch, 42, and doing triathlons and rock-climbing. 'Mum
and dad argued when my motocross clashed 冲突 with my dance schedule,' he
said. 'But at age 11, mum gave up. She couldn't win. But I'll never hold
it against 心怀不满 her. She was just proud of her only daughter.' Mrs
Andrews now supports Arin by helping with his testosterone shots and
has vowed to help him pay for breast removal surgery if he can raise
half of the £3770 ($6,000) costs himself. For the time being, Arin hides his chest by 'binding' - tight strapping around the torso use by transgender females-to-males. Even Arin's little brother Wesley, 11, has even started calling Arin his 'big brother'. 'It makes me so proud,' said Arin. Arin's determination to live his life as a male comes after years of 'humiliating' bullying throughout school. 'It was horrible,' said Arin. 'I looked like a pretty girl but acted and walked like a boy. 'Everyone started calling me a lesbian. It felt so humiliating. I didn't feel gay at all. 'I
started having suicidal thoughts and told my parents I felt confused,
but I didn't even know transgender people existed, so it didn't come up. 'They
said it was OK to be gay, but put me into therapy for my depression and
to help with my confusion. My feelings of being a boy sounded so stupid
I didn't even say it in therapy. 'Then a student at my school, a Christian school, told the teacher's office about a girl I was dating. 'They kicked me out because it was a religious school, even though I was a top pupil. 'I started another school and things have been better there. But everything changed when I met Katie.' 'All her loneliness and confusion over feeling she was the opposite gender all her life sounded exactly like me,' added Arin. 'It
was the moment I first had an explanation for my feelings. I realised I
was 'trans' too. I finally had an answer after years of confusion.' The pair eventually met in a local trans support group and hit it off一拍即合, 一见钟情. 'She was beautiful and looked just like Megan Fox,' said Arin. 'I longed to know who she was and eventually plucked up the courage to do the guy thing and ask for her number. 'She said yes and we started seeing each other.' Katie had only learned what 'transgender' meant by browsing the internet when she was 15. 'I'd been so unhappy growing up,' she said. 'As I got older it got worse and I couldn't help being really girly with a high-pitched voice 尖细的嗓子 and high cheekbones.' Katie's
mother Jazzlyn, 44, and father Randy, 58, a Lieutenant Colonel in the
United States Marine Corps, struggled to deal with their son's confused
feelings at first. 'My
parents were scared stiff ( scared stiff Fig. badly frightened. extremely frightened. Jill awoke from a dream that left her afraid - scared stiff, in fact. Etymology: from the idea that you are stiff (unable to bend or change your position) because you are too frightened to move. We were scared stiff by the robber. I was scared stiff when the dog growled at me. ) and put me through 15 therapist to try and
cure my depression,' said Katie. 'None helped because nobody suggested I
was trans and I didn't know what it was. 'When I was 15 I found the word 'transgender' while desperately searching the internet and instantly knew it was me. 'Mum was so terrified of losing me. 'I'd once tried to end my life, so she agreed to help me. I owe her everything. 'We
made a list of all the things I wanted to do, like wearing bras and
panties, getting hormone therapy and maybe one day having gender
realignment surgery变性手术. 'My brothers and even my grandma Judy were so accepting I was shocked. 'Dad was upset at first because he felt like he was losing his first son. 'Over time he's learned to accept me and now calls me his "daughter", which makes me smile.' The couple are speaking out about their experience to help raise awareness of trans issues. 'More needs to be done to let people know about transgender issues,' said Katie. 'We both spent years in the wilderness and felt so alone. 'Our parents didn't know how to help because none of us knew being trans was possible. 'Nobody should have to go through what we did.'
Tom Meagher, the husband of murdered woman Jill Meagher, angry over parole board's silence: Tom Meagher has gone public with emails 公开 he sent to the Adult Parole Board of Victoria, challenging them to answer why his wife's killer remained free despite breaching parole conditions. Adrian Bayley was free on parole at the time he raped and murdered ABC staffer Jill Meagher on a Melbourne street last year. The Adult Parole Board of Victoria is investigating why Mr Meagher's two emails were not dealt with promptly. The board said it usually responds to emails within 24 hours but Mr Meagher's were caught up in its spam filter and its IT department is investigating. The Premier, Denis Napthine, has stopped short of criticising the board but says he can understand Mr Meagher's disappointment. "Tom Meagher should have every reason to be very disappointed that his emails haven't been dealt with and dealt with appropriately."
