The Floating Movie Theater of Thailand.

Posted on 2:09 AM by Unknown

Thankfully, Ole Scheeren, a German architect and principal of Büro Ole Scheeren with offices in Beijing, Hong Kong and London came up with a fresh new concept of a floating movie theater which left
the audiences thrilled. He designed this theater in collaboration with the Film on the Rocks Yao Noi Foundation and finally set it up on Kudu Island in Thailand.

A floating screen was created using local lobster fisherman rafts with tires and then a separate platform for the audience was made so that they could sit back, relax and enjoy the show amidst the
aesthetic scenery. The screen was placed in front of two beautiful rocks in the archipelago in the Bay of Bengal for a film festival called “Film on the Rocks Yao Noi.” After the film festival
concluded, the rafts were given back to the fishermen and life as usual went on in the small villages of the region. It may be brought back for next year’s festival

“The thought of watching films here seemed surprising”, said Ole Scheeren. "A screen nestled somewhere between the rocks and the audience floating, hovering above the sea, somewhere in the middle of
this incredible space of the lagoon, focused on the moving images across the water. A sense of temporality, randomness, almost like driftwood. Or maybe something more architectural. Modular
pieces, loosely assembled like a group of little islands that congregate to form an auditorium.”These were the words used by him for describing the marvellous theater.

The basic idea behind designing this floating theater was to ensure that the film festival existed on a different planet all together. The viewers had a cinematic experience, an experience that will
be never forgotten by them in their entire lifetime. So if any of you wants to experience the joy of watching a movie in a floating theater located in the midst of a rocky and private shoreline,
then next time do plan your vacation to this amazing island.

Funny Google Searches Easter Egg

Posted on 8:50 AM by Unknown

A virtual Easter egg is an intentional hidden message, in-joke, or feature in a work such as a computer program, web page, video game, movie, book, or crossword. The term was coined — according to
Warren Robinett — by Atari after they were pointed to the secret message left by Robinett in the game Adventure. It draws a parallel with the custom of the Easter egg hunt observed in many Western
nations as well as the last Russian imperial family’s tradition of giving elaborately jeweled egg-shaped creations by Carl Fabergé which contained hidden surprises.

Where Three Countries Meet: Famous Tripoint Around the World
The Triple Frontier: Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay Tripoint

The Triple Frontier (Spanish: La Triple Frontera, Portuguese: Tríplice Fronteira) is a tri-border area along the junction of Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil, where the Iguazú and Paraná rivers
converge. Near the convergence are the cities of Ciudad del Este, Alto Paraná; Puerto Iguazú, Misiones and Foz do Iguacu, Paraná. This area is near Iguazú Falls and the Itaipú hydroelectric plant.

The population in the Triple Frontier is concentrated in three border cities. Of these, the largest is Ciudad del Este in Paraguay, which in 2010 had a population of 390,000, while the smallest with a
population of 82,000 is Puerto Iguazú, Argentina. The tourist-centric Brazilian city Foz do Iguaçu has a population of 300,000. The Arab and other Asian immigrant communities, which make up an
important part of the urban population in the Tri-Border Area, are estimated to number approximately 50,000.

The Crazy Camera Van

Posted on 8:44 AM by Unknown

One night In the fall of 1993, a guy named Harrod Blank had a dream in which he covered his car with cameras and then drove around and took pictures of people on the streets. When he woke up the next
morning he decided to build such a vehicle in reality. With the help of Dan Lohaus and some other friends, Harrod spent the next two years designing and building the van. With a lot of trial and
error, the van was completed in 1995 and made it’s debut voyage in April.

The front of the Camera Van features every Polaroid camera ever made. The driver’s side of the camera has Kodak Instamatic Cameras arranged to look like a giant Instamatic Camera. The back of the van
has two monitors that play a repeating slideshow of the Camera Van’s photography. The passenger side has a giant film strip created using four color monitors.

Unbelievable Anime-Faced Chinese Model.

Posted on 8:37 AM by Unknown

Apparently, there’s a new fashion trend sweeping across China – the anime look. The country’s most popular social media sites are practically flooded with tons of photos of young people clearly going out of their way to look as much like an anime character as possible. The trend took off last summer, when a girl going by the name of KOKO uploaded photos and videos showing her thin body, pointy chin and disproportionately large eyes. It turned out she used all kinds of makeup tricks to achieve her anime look, and her photos were apparently also altered in Photoshop, but that didn’t seem to matter much to people who wanted to look like the characters in popular Japanese cartoons. And while some of them actually look pretty cool, others are just plain freaky. Case in point, Tina Leopard, a young Chinese model whose extreme facial features have often been compared to those of an alien.

She uses makeup to make her eyes look bigger and, with her naturally long, slender nose and hair that covers both sides of her face, she is able to maintain the appearance, Ms. Leopard also uses fake eyelashes, contact lenses and buckets of makeup. She then posts photos of her on her Weibo microblog and gets thousands of comments.

June 23 — Biggest Full Moon of 2013 (Supermoon)

June 23 — Biggest Full Moon of 2013 (Supermoon)

The moon will appear 14% bigger and 30% brighter as it passes closer to Earth (Perigee). These ‘super moons’ not only appear larger because they are physically closer but, combined with a full moon,
the mind can play tricks on you to think they are much larger. This phenomena is called the Moon Illusion. Try to catch these full moons as they rise/set because the illusion works when there is
an object in the foreground, like a tree, building or mountains.
