I'm feeling fashion today after read my Vogue magazines and i wanna share with you this dramatic fashion show of the icon Alexander McQueen(R.I.P.). About the collection: Alexander McQueen's 2013 Women's Spring Summer Collection "The collection is a study of femininity. We looked at erotica. Vargas girls, cages, corsets and crinolines and the idealisation of the female form. Nothing is set in a particular period. It's about sensuality and skin but not nudity. We also wanted to express lightness, for the clothes almost to hover over the women who wear them." Sarah Burton 

2012 Vans Triple Crown of Surfing Vans Triple Crown of Surfing Hydrated by VitaminWater Every winter, powerful swells cross thousands of miles of open ocean and descend upon the Hawaiian Islands, creating some of the biggest, most powerful and most challenging waves on the planet. As these swells reach the shallow reefs along the 7 Mile Miracle on Oahu’s famed North Shore, the waves they produce beckon surfers from around the globe, who come in search of big waves, big barrels and a big reputation.  With the world-class waves comes the most prestigious event series for professional surfers:  The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing .

A team of international scientists are planning to drill into the Earth's mantle in an attempt to answer questions about the origins and evolution of life. The drills will need to get through around 6 km of oceanic crust to reach the mantle. Humans have  reached the moon  and are planning to return samples from Mars , but when it comes to exploring the land deep beneath our feet, we have only scratched the surface of our planet. This may be about to change with a $1 billion mission to drill 6 km (3.7 miles) beneath the seafloor to reach the Earth's mantle -- a 3000 km-thick layer  of slowly deforming rock between the crust and the core which makes up the majority of our planet -- and bring back the first ever fresh samples. It could help answer some of our biggest questions about the origins and evolution of Earth itself, with almost all of the sea floor and continents that make up the Earth´s surface originating from the mantle. Geologists involved in th...

An appreciation of the late New York Times publisher by one of the country’s premier historians of the American press: New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger in his office in New York, July 20, 1977. Arthur Ochs “Punch” Sulzberger, the late publisher of the New York Times, is most celebrated – and rightly so – for his decision to go forward with publication the Pentagon Papers in1971. Punch was not a gifted journalist or a great editor or a brilliant executive. He was, however, something out of a Frank Capra movie – a man with a deep sense of decency and profound common sense who also had guts. It took great courage to publish the classified documents in defiance of the government’s demand that he stop. It was a seminal moment for American journalism because the nation’s leading journalistic institution, which was considered the heart of the mainstream press, had done something virtually unprecedented. Until then there were few moments when the traditional press...
