Jacuzzi On The Highest Mountain In The Alps

After over six years of evolution, the concept of “jaccuzzi events” has led to the realization of a dream. After increasing the size to host more than 70 people for a concerto on the shore of Lake Geneva, after winter jaccuzzi events that became progressively crazier , after successes at higher and higher altitudes, we wondered if a jaccuzzi on top of the Alps would one day be possible.

For us, Jaccuzzi Events are parties that are thrown in unexpected and exceptional places. It is a hobby invented, created and organized by our own means with the help of our friends. Indeed, to organize such an Event in the most remote places, it is not enough to spend evenings designing and construction, the most important is to have lots of friends. As it was out of the question to use the assistance of a helicopter for a leisure, the entire system had to be light enough to be carried by the participants.

During almost one year we searched for means to make the system more reliable and lighter. All components had to be as light as possible still functioning in an oxygen depleted atmosphere, under wind and freezing temperatures. We soon realized that a Jaccuzzi at the top of Mont-Blanc would be just as much a social challenge than technological.

We had to find amongst our friends enough people that could climb Mont-Blanc by night, with a backpack of more than 45 lb and stay at the summit during several hours before descending. Additionally, since the weather had to be perfect, all needed to be able to leave with very short notice, possibly during the week. After four falls alerts, the long awaited weather window finally came, with no clouds and minimum wind...

World's Smallest Mother Stacey Herald

The world's smallest mother, Stacey Herald, is celebrating the birth of her third baby. Doctors warned Stacey, who is just 2ft 4ins, it would be too dangerous for her to ever have children. But the determined 35-year-old defied medics to have a family and has given birth to three babies in the last three years.

Her new son Malachi was born eight weeks prematurely by caesarian section on November 28, weighing just 2lb 10oz.

Stacey, who has 34 stitches across her stomach, said: 'He's the most beautiful perfect boy I've ever seen.

'All I want to do is stay by his side.' She had been expected to give birth just before Christmas, but doctors decided it was not safe to let the pregnancy go any longer.

The mum of three from Kentucky, USA, has a rare genetic disorder called Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which causes brittle bones, underdeveloped lungs and stunted growth.

She uses a wheelchair but manages to care for daughters Kateri, three, and Makya, 18 months, with the help of husband Wil, 27, a trainee priest.

Stacey was told having children would risk her life because the pressure of the pregnancy would put too much pressure on her body and squash her internal organs.

But after marrying Wil, who is 5ft 9ins, in 2005, Stacey bravely decided to go ahead with her plans for a family.

'Mum told me I'd die, but I reminded her I was a miracle, and a baby would be a miracle, too,' she said.

Now the couple have three children and have not ruled out the possibility of more.

Baby Malachi, who is just five inches long, is being cared for at a hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, and will have to stay in an incubator for several months.

His sister Kateri, who has the same condition as Stacey, spent the first five months of her life in hospital.

Although most normal mothers would find three children under four a challenge, Stacey said Wil helps her care for them.

'Now Malachi is here, I can get about better and can feed and change the girls again,' she said.

'Anything I can't do, Wil can. He's great at getting up in the night and changing diapers and feeding the girls, he really is a blessing.' She added: 'Malachi is having trouble feeding and some circulation problems, but the doctors say he's doing well.

'I feel heartbroken every time we have to go home and leave him in the hospital.

'We're looking forward to the day he's strong enough to come home.
