The Iosis, whose name is an alchemic term referring to the final stage of the transformation of base metal into gold. The Iosis is a concept study which develops some ideas expressed by the SAV concept, embodies all the elements of the future design of European Fords.
Have the inverted trapezoid motif is echoed throughout the exterior and interior of iosis: it is also featured in the 20-inch wheels, milled from solid aluminium billets, with contrasting polished and anodised finish that accentuates 3-D design. Another recurring design theme is the kick-up in the DLO at the ‘C' post, which is echoed in the headlamp design. The ridge then continues along the ‘A' post and cant rail before terminating in the cat's eye style rear light clusters.

Have you ever thought about why we need a skeleton? Just think about the meat you see in butcher’s shop.It is soft,like our own muscle.The other organs in our body are just as soft.Without a skeleton, we would slump into an untidy rubbery heap.Our muscle are strong, but without a skeleton they have nothing to pull against and we would be unable to stand up or to move.
Some organs need more protection than others.For example,the brain and spinal cord are protected by the skull and the spine.The hearts,lungs,liver and intestines are all easily damaged, so they are protected by ribs,hip bones and spine.
The whole system of skeleton and muscles is strong but flexible.It protects the most important organs, and allows us to move freely.
There are 206 separate bones in an adult’s body.As basics we start off with about 300 bones,but some join together as we grow. We have many more muscles than bones abut 656 separate muscles, making up a third of the total weight of a woman and nearly half the weight of a woman and nearly half the weight of a man.

How to Portray a Scene Style that is Cool
Your jeans should not be flares or bootcuts, but straight-leg pencil jeans. Hook up a carabiner, then, clip it on your keys and put on the side of your skinny jeans. Choose the tightest fitting t-shirt but don’t wear crew necks always as they look awkward, or you can wear band shirts and graphic shirts.
Be sure that the band you are displaying is the latest. You can wear vintage band shirts with birds, animal prints and skulls which are the latest scene designs. Avoid using Pokemon and foil print because they are already outmoded.
Scene kids normally wear loads of eyeliner and converse chucks or vans. A lot of scene kids wear bandanas around their necks or cover their face.

The Sonthaliya Gate, Mandawa.
When we decided on our winter vacation destination as Rajasthan, we immediately knew it had to be in the lesser explored regions of Shekhawati. Shekhawati region is known for their heritage Havelis.
Haveli- Is a huge private mansion in India or Pakistan.
The Rajasthani havelis were constructed by the wealthy Marwari community in the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan in the 19th century. A haveli typically has two courtyards one for the men and the inner one for the women, the walls were adorned with beautiful colourful frescoes painted by commissioned artists.
The themes were usually images of Gods, Goddesses & animals.
Mandawa, Ramgarh, Fatehpur are dusty little towns in the Shekhawati area that have many old havelis, which in their glorious days would have been a treat to the eyes, but even today have not lost their timeless beauty.
The huge old havelis in Mandawa.
A handful of these havelis are being restored and given a new lease of life by private organizations, historians & architects. Some of them have been converted into heritage hotels.
Nadine Le Prince is a french artist whose love for Indian cultural heritage has inspired her to restore a haveli built in 1802 by a rich tradesman of the silk road.
Beautifully restored courtyard at Nadine Le Prince Haveli Cultural Centre, Fatehpur.
Ramgarh Fresco, a restored haveli, earlier known as the Khemka Haveli is 100-years old and has been renovated by the Khandelwal family who wanted to showcase the beauty of the frescos and the architecture to the visitors.
