The big Sister of Titanic!!! named "Queen Mary 2"
The RMS Queen Mary 2 (QM2) is a Cunard Line ocean liner named after the earlier Cunard liner Queen Mary, which was in turn named after Mary of Teck, the Queen Consort of George V. At the time of her construction in 2003, the QM2 was the longest, widest and tallest passenger ship ever built, and at 148,528 gross tons, was also the largest. She lost that last distinction to Royal Caribbean International's 154,407 gross ton Freedom of the Seas in April 2006, but QM2 remains the largest ocean liner (as opposed to cruise ship) ever built, and her height, length, and waterline breadth are unsurpassed by any other passenger ship. The true distinction becomes somewhat cloudy, because "gross tonnage" is actually a measure of a ship's enclosed volume, not weight. "Displacement tonnage" is a measure of the weight of water the ship displaces -- and hence its actual weight. The Royal Caribbean "Freedom" ships displace about 64,000 tons; the QM2, about 76,000.
QM2's facilities include 15 restaurants and bars, five swimming pools, a casino, a ballroom, a theatre, and a planetarium.

Miss Arab 2007 Contest
Bahraini girl wins Miss Arab World contest
Miss Bahrain bagged the Miss Arab World 2007 crown in Cairo on Friday night after nearly six hours of contest. Wafaa Ganahi, a 23-year-old teacher from the Law Faculty of Bahrain University, won the title, while the first runner-up was 25-year-old Miss Egypt Shaimaa Mansour. Miss Lebanon Rula Bahij, 23, was the second runner-up.
Wafaa , Bahrain's first ever contestant in the event, was crowned by Miss Arab World 2006 Claudia Hanna from Iraq.
Asked whether she would continue her teaching career, Wafaa hesitantly nodded in affirmation.
Earlier, Shaimaa, who is a football referee, said she was attending the contest to promote Egypt's tourism and sports. Seventeen women from 15 countries attended the final competition, one of the major attractions of the second Arab Tourism Festival, which opened in Cairo.
The first Miss Arab World Contest was held in Sharm Al Shaikh last year. All should note that the show is in line with Muslim Community ethics, morality & culture. Don't the models look superb in covered clothes quite contrary to the nearly bare models in Western Fashion shows, who use their flesh to steal the show & win the crown.
Salute to the person who conceived such idea of Arab Beauty Contest, to establish a good identity of Arab models & save the young models in going into the filth of Western Beauty Contests, full of immorality & bareness.
