A kite surfer in Florida has made the most of the wild weather whipped up by tropical storm Debby, using the big surf and strong winds to jump over a pier. PHOTOS: Tropical storm Debby wreaks havoc The surfer, who has been identified as Billy Parker by YouTube users, cleared the pier at Reddington Beach on June 24. Debby, which has been raking the coast with strong winds and rains since the weekend, is on a path to sweep across north-central Florida as it heads eastward to the Atlantic Ocean, where it is expected by Friday.

The man who filmed the jump can be heard speaking to other onlookers who speculate as to whether he would attempt the dangerous jump. "If the wind changes direction he could be in big trouble," a man comments. Another woman said "he is crazy" as the surfer launches into the air. "He's obviously a professional," the man filming comments as the video ends. The Most Astounding Fact (Neil DeGrasse Tyson) The Secret Forest Cabin, HemLoft.

Quilling has been around for hundreds of years, but it’s still as impressive and popular now as it was during the Renaissance. The art of quilling first became popular during the Renaissance, when nuns and monks would use it to roll gold-gilded paper and decorate religious objects, as an alternative to the expensive gold filigree.

Later, during the 18th and 19th centuries, it became a favorite pass-time of English ladies who created wonderful decorations for their furniture and candles, through quilling. Basically, the quilling process consists of cutting strips of paper, and rolling them with a special tool. It sounds simple enough, but special skill is required to create more advanced shapes like marquises, arrowheads or holly leaves. All through the years, the art of quilling has remained almost unchanged, but new specialty supplies now allow quilling masters to create anything from detailed 3-D figures to wall-sized museum installations.

Wallpaper. Sketch of Voronoi. Gulpiyuri Beach - A Stange Beach in the Middle of a Meadow. Tucked away into a small inland hollow, right in the middle of a meadow, Playa de Gulpiyuri is one of the most amazing beaches in the world. We’ve certainly featured some unique places here, on Oddity Central, and even a few incredible beaches, like the hot water beach of New Zealand or California’s glass beach, but none like the beach of Gulpiyuri. Located near the charming town of Llanes, on the northern coast of Spain, Gulpiyuri Beach is unlike anything I have ever seen, or even imagined existed outside of fantasy books or fictional planets. Imagine walking over 100 meters from the sea shoreline and stumbling over a small charming beach right in the middle of a green meadow. And while you may find other beaches completely hidden from the open sea, around the world, this one is actually fully tidal and even has waves bathing the small strip of golden sand.

A Cathedral Made from 55,000 LED Lights. The Luminarie De Cagna is an imposing cathedral-like structure that was recently on display at the 2012 Light Festival in Ghent, Belgium. The festival was host to almost 30 exhibitions including plenty of 3D projection mapping, fields of luminous flowers, and a glowing phone booth aquarium, however with 55,000 LEDs and towering 28 meters high the Luminarie De Cagna seems to have stolen the show.

A local company, Baixa (baixa is Portuguese for downtown), has recently added another downtown nightclub to its roster that already includes the Baixa bar. The new nightclub, Instalação (installation), was designed by José Carlos Cruz Arquitecto, the same team responsible for the design of Baixa bar as well as the Farmacia Lordelo we have featured earlier. The space for Instalação, opened in March, was in essence a long, narrow corridor with two dividing structural arches that support the building itself. From this 250 square-meter (2,690 sq.ft.) space the designers created a golden wire tunnel where the main materials are concrete, brass and polished aluminum.

Inspired by various works of Olafur Eliasson,the team created a glowing, floating lighting program that helps expand the space visually and draws the attention to reflections and illumination, away from the narrow framework of the room. Hellish nightmare of suffering and devastation: 10-Year-Long Game of Civilisation Predicts Grim Future for Humanity. The world in 3991AD ... a “hellish nightmare of suffering and devastation".

This post was originally published on Mashable. Can the fate of humanity be predicted by a video game? On Tuesday morning, Reddit user Lycerius wrote a post in r/gaming asking for help with his 10-year-long Civilization II game. He described the world of 3991 AD as a "hellish nightmare of suffering and devastation". Lycerius said the ice caps had melted 20 times because of nuclear fallout. Advertisement Lycerius said he tried destroying or allying with the two remaining countries, but it had not helped. Apparently, most of the world's population has died due to lack of usable land, and the engineers and military forces cannot make any improvements because they are working on supporting the war efforts.

Civilization II was released in 1996 by MicroProse. Players have to fight wars, develop technology and forge peace treaties with other nations.
