Justice Center Leoben is a court and prison complex in Leoben in Styria, Austria.
Designed by architect Josef Hohensinn and perched on a hillside inLeoben, Austria, the prison can accommodate groups of up to 13 who are free to move about their cells and shared spaces. But wait, there's more—each prisoner lives in a highly inviting "cell" with private bathrooms, small kitchenettes, and floor-to-ceiling windows (yes, they are shatter-proof) that open into a balcony.
Each communal section has an outdoor living space for the prisoners to enjoy some fresh air—surrounded by bars of course. And if those become too crowded for the feeble few, there are three courtyards scattered throughout. Inscripted in a concrete wall are words from the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, reading "All persons deprived of their liberty shall be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the human person."
The prison is a complex also housing Austrian courtrooms and offices; therefore a section of it is open to the public. And if you befriend a prisoner, you can check out the room specially designed with sleek red chairs for conjugal visits. Though Leoben is small, it boasts deep historical significance as an iron mining town—still evident in many parts of the city. Located among abundant greenery and rising mountains, there are plenty of outdoor activities to keep the free-folk busy. Hiking, biking, and skiing are all within a short driving distance, as well as a myriad of architecturally astounding churches, houses, and buildings to tour within city limits.

Toothbrush Tracker...
A clean bill of health from your dentist isn’t the only reward you’ll get with this Bluetooth-enabled toothbrush. Keeping track of your good brushing habits through the toothbrush’s app can earn you real rewards.
The Beam Brush plays two minutes of music while you brush, so you can scrub your pearly whites the recommended amount of time, while the tracking sensor will let you track your brushing habits. The rewards layer built into the app will give users real stuff for good oral hygiene: video games, movie tickets, plus deals on purses, shoes and clothes.
The Beam Brush is the first app-connected toothbrush. A sensor embedded in the upper part of the brush tracks your activity and syncs it to the company’s app on your smartphone via Bluetooth. The free app is available for your Android or iPhone device. By recording this data, you can get a better picture of your overall dental hygiene habits.
The two minute music-timer idea actually works. Beam says people are 50% more likely to brush for the full time, which is much better than the average brushing time of 46 seconds.
The app will also show you your brushing habits, like what time of day you brushed, or if you’ve missed a brushing. It’s displayed on daily, weekly and monthly charts which can be emailed to your dentist.
True Story...
This incident was happened in india by the year of 2009. Early Thursday morning as the youngest multi-organ donor’s tender heart started beating in the thoracic cavity of the country’s youngest heart recipient. In a procedure that lasted just two hours and 42 minutes, three-year old Tamanna’s heart was harvested from Manipal Hospital in Bangalore, India, flown to the Chennai airport (India), taken to Dr. K.M.Cherian’s Frontier Lifeline Hospital in Mogappair, Chennai and transplanted in a one-year-11-month-old boy, where it started throbbing again. Dr. Cherian said while inter-State transplantations had become commendably common, what was important in this case is that the father agreed to donate the organs of his 3-year-old.
Tamanna’s parents Renilson and Nisha, both originally from Kerala, were driving back home with their daughter after having dinner when their vehicle was involved a head-on collision. While Nisha died on the spot, the child was left brain dead and Mr. Renilson had multiple injuries. As soon as he heard about the condition of his wife and daughter, Mr. Renilson requested that his wife’s eyes be removed and his daughter’s eyes, kidneys, heart and liver be harvested for transplantation. It was coincidence that a nearly 2-year-old baby, with cardio myopathy, was waiting for a heart transplant at Frontier Lifeline. Dr. Cherian had told the parents of the boy that it was nearly impossible to get a donor heart that was as young and suitable.
“The child was in a bad shape, his heart was very big and transplantation was the only option,” he told The Hindu. However, the child was put on the heart registry and the parents had decided to go home, when the call came from Bangalore. Immediately, they were rushed to the hospital and the baby prepared for surgery. It helped that the donor was O positive, universal donor.
A plane was chartered to fly to Bangalore and bring the heart back to Chennai. The flight got clearance to land at the HAL airport and the team from Frontier Lifeline rushed to Manipal Hospital.
By 5 a.m. on Thursday, the surgery was completed and the heart began its reassuring thud in the youngest-ever heart recipient in India. Again, the entire operation would not have been possible but for the co-operation of the Chennai Police and co-ordination between the transplant teams of both hospitals.
A trust, the AP Hitendran Memorial Trust, was formed to address road safety and organ donation. A street in Chengalpettu district was named after him.
