Climate Control
Since winning the World Cup bid in December, football fans have questioned whether a summer World Cup in Qatar would be fair on players or spectators.
Temperatures in June and July can reach up to 50C, however FIFA president Sepp Blatter has stated that the tournament will not move from its traditional dates in the summer.
To help fight against these unbearable temperatures Qatar plan to air condition their World Cup stadia via solar power.
Recently the latest development in Qatar's bid to control the climate is an artificial cloud.
Qatar scientists have designed the 'clouds', which can be produced at a cost of $500,000 (about £310,000) each.
The 'clouds' are made from a lightweight carbon structure, and carry a giant envelope of material containing helium gas.
Four solar-powered engines move the structure via remote control.
Looking at the shaded stadium designs featured below, this may work overhead , and help Jack Wilshire from getting cramp.

Man's wife says "NO" to IPad 2, Apple says "YES!"
This is a great little story that hit the news today about a man returning an iPad 2.
Apple keeps track of why people return iPads, sticking post it notes on the returned iPad with the reason.
A source close to Apple says an iPad 2 came back with a post it note that said, "Wife said no." This amused Apple employees.
Eventually, two Apple VPs heard about it, and decided to send the iPad back to the man with a post it note that read, "Apple said yes."
Absolutely brilliant!
