After 1000 years, the sounds of the composition called Carmina qui quondam resounded. This is part of an extensive restoration project by the University of Cambridge, which has been ongoing for more than 20 years. After a millennium, it was played again by the group Sequentia on the original instruments and with the original technique. Listen to a song that is almost as old as the earth!

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
There is no life without the sun, and for the Frenchman Julien Grondin, there is no good photography without the sun. Pipi and Melkijad had their moon, the French photographer has his sun. The "sun hunter" traveled the world for three years, not only to capture the beauty of the world, but also to take portraits with the sun.
Many people have trouble getting up in the morning, which means they have trouble in other areas as well. One is the motivation to move, to perform physical activities. That's why there's an Arnold Schwarzenegger alarm clock in the form of the one and only "Schwarzi", demonstrating how it works with his friend Ralf Moeller. With it, you will no longer have problems getting up and going to training.
Chocolate lovers, beware! As children, our eyes lit up when we got our hands on a Kinder egg. First time because of chocolate, second time because of a toy. Now the Kinder egg got an adult version, the chocolate dinosaur egg, which is even better and more attractive than Kinder's. Not only is it bigger and served in chocolate shavings, we open it with a hammer or hot chocolate, and inside there is a surprise waiting for us in the form of...
Most of us see the true value of books in their content. But not artist Jacqueline Rush Lee. He creates incredible sculptures of organic and abstract shapes from books (old and in poor condition). Excellent!
"Good fences make good neighbors," the American poet Robert Frost once said. Does this mean that you can become better neighbors if you have a nicer fence? Maybe. Garden fences are intended to protect privacy and mark the property. "Clear borders, good neighbors", to paraphrase the popular wisdom "Clean accounts, good friends". But fences can be much more than a border and protection. We present to you the most imaginative DIY garden fences that will impress even the most demanding outdoor designer.
Why does the sound of running water make us want to pee? Do you also have to go to the toilet at the sound of running water? Then watch a video that will explain why this strange phenomenon occurs.
The Slovenian acrobatic team Dunken Devils drew attention to itself again. It started at the pier in Izola, continued at the Celje Castle, followed by a scene with Mangart in the background, and now the thirteen found themselves under the railway bridge over the Sava River. The trampoline was replaced by a huge swing, and the basketball hoop was hung right under the bridge, 10 meters above the river! The world is excited, you will be too, and maybe NBA scoring champion Zach LaVine of the Minnesota Timberwolves will pick up a trick from their textbooks.
Wingsuit BASE jumps are nothing new, but we've usually reported them elsewhere. This time, we have for you a historical video with the first jump with a wingsuit made in Slovenia, the author of which is Robert Krenker, and the evidence was collected by Matej Saksida, who accompanies him "on" the parachute. A video that will freeze your blood.
London is getting the longest slide in the world, which will be as long as 178 meters, and during this time you will go down as many as 15 floors! It will be "hosted" by the ArcelorMittal Orbit observation tower, which grew for the 2012 Summer Olympics and has been a real magnet for tourists ever since. The longest slide in the world will open its doors or pipe opened on June 24, 2016, and you can already get tickets. Expect a line as long as the slide itself!
This Lego traveler figure has seen and traveled more of the world than you ever will! So far, she has visited more than 20 countries and, among other things, walked the Great Wall of China, admired the Northern Lights and rode the Trans-Siberian Railway.
Humans do many things with their faces. We manage them one way or another, but we have limitations. José Cardoso, however, imagined what it would be like if human faces were made of plasticine. And so a bizarre series of photographs was born that pays homage to video artist Chris Cunningham (he worked on films such as Alien and Rubber Johnny) and director David Cronenberg (The Fly, Komopolis, Dangerous Method, Videodrome), who are known for scenes that only those with a good stomach can tolerate them.
