Misty Copeland is a prima ballerina who became the first African-American woman appointed as a soloist at the American Ballet Theatre. As a young girl, she was repeatedly denied ballet training because of her origin and skin color. The attached video proves that persistence pays off and that ballet is not just an art.
We used to need an entire orchard to get a crate of fruit, but apparently soon it will only take one tree. Sam Van Aken, an American sculptor, developed the Tree of 40 fruit, a tree that bears as many as 40 types of fruit.
A nostalgic photo series showing the history of video games through the evolution of gaming consoles
Which was your first: Atari, Game Boy, Wii? Spanish creative director Javier Laspiur is a fan of video games who has immortalized his upbringing with gaming consoles for the last 30 years in the nostalgic photo series Controllers.
The images of some artistic paintings are so embedded in our everyday life that even those who are not close to art are familiar with them. This type of work has already been reproduced countless times, but this time's recycling did not produce classic replicas, as it did not follow the accessories of the original author. The brushes were thus replaced by the trigger, and the canvas by the mirror. The re-creation was created with a camera and without digital 'application'.
At the end of the year, the cinemas will also be colored by music, because in the last breath of November, the film about James Brown, "Get on Up", is coming. Chadwick Boseman lent voice and stature to the soul and funk legend, while Brown's musical opus lent the title to the biographical drama. Under the direction of Tate Taylor ("The Help"), the film takes us through the entire life span of the "godfather of soul music".

There is nothing more painful than the sound of plastic breaking when you sit on another favorite and carefully selected pair of sunglasses. With the purchase of I-Ultra rubber sunglasses from Italia Independent, we will never hear of him again!
Vin Diesel probably wasn't vin-jen when he broke into Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" the way Serena Williams was during the Wimbledon doubles match, so it'd probably be better if, unlike Will Smith, he just stayed when playing.
A great summer should also come to a great end. This will be ensured by the two-day film festival of independent film FilmMixer, which will take place in Kranj on August 29 and 30, 2014, which will thus become synonymous with a new and especially exciting film experience.
"Books About Town" is a wonderful project and a great mix of everything: fifty different artists have created fifty benches in different locations around London in homage to fifty works of classic literature. Londoners and tourists can sit on them until mid-September, when the benches will be sold at a charity auction.
We all know the feeling when we are waiting for a return message - SMS, but it is nowhere to be found. Our hunger for an answer grows by the minute, but as they say, "a pot that is watched never boils" or "he who waits impatiently, never lives." Our heads swarm with scenarios of what could be the cause of this, and although the situation usually does not have comedic endings, waiting also gives rise to funny slides/monologues. We have collected some of them below.
