Modern Bookcases Cleverly Revolve to Reveal a Secret Room

El Belén Hipster se ha ganado un rincón en el hogar de cualquier modernillo que se precie.

Tiene todo lo que se puede esperar de un nacimiento navideño, pero con ligeros matices que consiguen (quién lo iba a decir) convertirlo en algo más repelente aún que un belén tradicional. Bueno, quizá exageramos en este punto.

Vamos por partes, empezamos con los personajes secundarios: pastorcillo, vaca y oveja.
El pastorcillo, con su phablet, subiendo a Instagram imágenes y videos con los tags #babyjesus #nofilter. La vaca con el sello "100% organic", comiendo pienso sin gluten, acompañada de una ovejita con un precioso jersey de lana roja, con motivos navideños.

A continuación nos fijamos en los tres Reyes Magos, que han abandonado a sus camellos para substituirlos por modernos Segways. Rinden homenaje al niño Dios tres seguir a una estrella según indicaciones de Google Maps. Cada uno porta su presente en una caja de QueLoVendan (creo). Los tres hacen gala de un outfit impecable, sin duda.

Finalmente, los protagonistas principales, en un establo-apartamento austero pero funcional. Totalmente ecológico gracias a su construcción en madera y con paneles solares en el techo. San José, con un moño en el pelo y haciendo un selfie familiar. La ¿virgen? María con un vaso de Starbucks y sus mejores morritos de pato. Y el niño Jesús flipando, como no puede ser de otra manera.

With her project “What Ali Wore”, the young photographer Zoe Spawton decided to document the incredible style of Ali, an 83-year-old tailor who crosses her path every morning in the streets of Berlin. With outfits and clothes chosen with great taste, Ali would make any fashion blogger jealous. A tender and moving series, achieved between 2012 and 2015, which testifies of the privileged relationship between the model and the photographer.

It would be wrong to say that only bad things came out of the Cold War because that would discount all of the amazing advancements that happened during that time. Some of those we see implemented into our everyday lives today, yet some, like this turbojet train, have been left out to gather rust.

It was built in the 1970s Soviet Union to cut down travel times and showcase the incredible power of the jet engine. A locomotive with two giant engines strapped on its roof could reach speeds higher than most trains today – up to 160mph (~260 km/h). Sounds awesome, right? It was, except for the fact that those engines were consuming incredible amounts of fuel. Enough so it would scrap the whole project and leave this fully functional prototype to rot.

Surprisingly, that wasn’t the first turbojet train in the world. In 1966, New Yorker Don Wetzel has finished developing the M-497 Black Beetle, a jet train which reached the speed of 183 mph (~295 km/h) during its test run on existing tracks between Butler, Indiana and Stryker, Ohio. Since then, no train has ever went faster on the USA soil.

Calgary deviendra bientôt la nouvelle capitale du son du Canada. En effet, un nouveau projet de musée a enfin vu le jour. Il s’appelle le Studio Bell et il héberge, au sein de ses 50 000 mètres carrés, un théâtre, une station de radio, un musée, des studios de composition et d’enregistrement et des salles de cours. Le musée, quant à lui, expose plus de 2000 instruments. Cet incroyable projet aura nécessité de 7 ans de travaux.

Oui, ce musée existe vraiment. Il est situé à Chichibu, Japon, à deux heures de Tokyo. Il est appelé Chinsekikan (qui signifie salle des pierres étranges) et il expose plus de 1700 pierres qui ressemblent à des visages humains. Le musée accueille tout type de jinmenseki, c’est-à-dire des rochers au visage humain, y compris ceux ressemblant à des célébrités, comme Elvis Presley.

More breakfast.
