32 Creative Tattoo Designs The art of tattooing has been around for many centuries and is the most popular form of body modification. The tattoo is created by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment colour. The actual word tattoo was first brought to Europe by the British explorer James Cook when he returned from his voyage to New Zealand and Tahiti and referred to a practice of “tattaw” and what he described as painting, staining or scarring. I love tattoos and I have one myself but nothing compared to these amazing designs below. 22 Movies from 2012 That Will Be Future Cult Classics 1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower I was skeptical about the existence of a Perks movie from the moment it was announced — from the casting choices (Hermoine, really?) down to the fact that Stephen Chbosky was directing his own work. (As a first-time director.) However, I’ve rarely been so happy to be wrong. Because of skeptics like me, Perks is still finding an audience with lovers of the novel and newbies. 2. & 3. Between these and Wreck-It Ralph, 2012 was a great year for original animation and kiddie concepts that were a little outré for mainstream moviegoers. 4. & 5. I put these two together because they were basically the same movie. However, like this year’s 21 Jump Street remake, Dredd was better than it had any right to be, due to choice direction behind the camera (Pete Travis, Omagh) and great performances from the underrated Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby, who deserve to be much bigger stars. 6. & 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. For fans of Clueless, this is like a gift from heaven. 12.
25 Documentaries Everybody Should Watch Sans Soleil This is not your average documentary. It is a fleeting memory, a sudden remembrance of times long past, a meditation on time and culture, a touch of an emotional diary. We follow the eyes of a world traveller who makes sharp observations and tries to convey them to his friend. We never learn who they are and where they came from, and this is perhaps a subtle point the documentary wants to make. The Corporation Corporate personhood is probably the elephant in the room when it comes politics. Watch The Corporation for FREE on Amazon Instant Video Cosmos: A Personal Voyage This list wouldn’t be complete without the documentary Cosmos. The Union: The Business Behind Getting High This is a must watch for everyone. Watch The Union on YouTube. The Century of the Self If I have to recommend one documentary to anyone, this is it. Life in a Day 1 day, 80.000 clips worth 4.500 hours of video, 192 nations and these three questions. Watch Life in a Day on YouTube. Food Inc. Inside LSD Man On Wire
kerbyrosanes2 Top 10 Most Misunderstood Lines in Literary History There’s no better way to sound smart than by dropping a perfectly timed quote from some well-respected literature. It shows that you’re both well-read and possess the stunning intellect to memorize whole chunks of books in the off chance that you might need it at some point (and barely anyone ever considers the implication that you just have way too much free time). The problem is that a lot of the most famous quotes need context to be fully understood and, if you use them without knowing what they really mean, you might accidentally be saying something pretty dumb. For example… 10. Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken Famous Quote: “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” The United States’ most famous poet’s most famous poem is a timeless ode to the American ideals of “individuality” and “forging your own path.” Except aside from that last part, everything we just said isn’t true. 9. Famous Quote: “Star-Crossed Lovers” 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. You stupid Nazis. 1.
Online Finance Courses Despite the bad rap the financial industry has received in recent years, planning for a career in finance still remains a smart proposition. In fact, issues plaguing the industry today only emphasize the current need for highly educated financial professionals to keep things on track. As a result, choosing to earn a degree in finance could lead to a rather lucrative career upon graduation. Like marketing, finance is typically considered to be a specialized area of business administration. It is also a field that can be specialized in or studied independently via online finance courses. An academic career in finance will provide you with skills and knowledge to effectively manage money. Finance specialists are tasked with understanding and forecasting the value of money at a given moment in time. Sample Courses In addition to a student’s core curriculum in finance, there are several general subject areas that could benefit budding financial specialists, like psychology and communication.
the-creative-process Five hundred new fairytales discovered in Germany A whole new world of magic animals, brave young princes and evil witches has come to light with the discovery of 500 new fairytales, which were locked away in an archive in Regensburg, Germany for over 150 years. The tales are part of a collection of myths, legends and fairytales, gathered by the local historian Franz Xaver von Schönwerth (1810–1886) in the Bavarian region of Oberpfalz at about the same time as the Grimm brothers were collecting the fairytales that have since charmed adults and children around the world. Last year, the Oberpfalz cultural curator Erika Eichenseer published a selection of fairytales from Von Schönwerth's collection, calling the book Prinz Roßzwifl. Von Schönwerth spent decades asking country folk, labourers and servants about local habits, traditions, customs and history, and putting down on paper what had only been passed on by word of mouth. Eichenseer says the fairytales are not for children alone.
