Kowloon Walled City: Life in the City of Darkness. It was called a lawless twilight zone by some and the world's most overcrowded squat by others.
But to many, the Kowloon Walled City was simply home. This month marks 20 years since work started to wipe away one of the most striking features of the Hong Kong landscape for good. A 2.7-hectare enclave of opium parlours, whorehouses and gambling dens run by triads, it was a place where police, health inspectors and even tax collectors feared to tread. Pictures: What was it really like living in Kowloon Walled City? In Cantonese, it was known as the City of Darkness. But though it may have been a fetid slum, crawling with rats and dripping with sewage, it was stoutly defended to the last by those who lived there, as well as an unlikely ensemble of Chinese shopkeepers, faith healers and self-taught dentists. A Map Of The Entire Universe In One Image. If you ever happen to embark on a cosmic journey to the outer reaches of the universe, you may want to take along a copy of this map, which was created by musician and artist Pablo Carlos Budassi and encapsulates the entire cosmos in a single, mind-blowing image.
In order to create this incredible cartographic masterpiece, Budassi combined images from several of NASA’s telescopes and rovers with logarithmic maps of the universe created by astronomers from Princeton University. Logarithmic maps are able to encapsulate huge areas within manageable graphics since they decrease in scale as they move outwards from the center of the image, meaning that the objects in the middle of the map are shown in a much larger scale than those at the edges. As such, the vast distances of the outer reaches of the universe are condensed into a relatively small area on the map.
The image features the Solar System at its center, beyond which is a region of icy objects known collectively as the Oort Cloud. Trackrunners.net : all metro, all city. This Is Night Skiing As You've Never Seen It: With LED Ski Suits. Night skiing is for chumps.
Unless, of course, you're wrapped head to toe in a custom suit embedded with LEDs, while jumping off cliffs in a remote part of Canada. Then it's art. That's the surreal basis for the Lightsuit Segment in Sweetgrass Productions' latest ski movie, "Afterglow. " Filmed in collaboration with Swedish ad agency Ahlstrand & Wållgren and Philips TV, the three-minute flick, which producers say took "a national government's worth of logistics, planning, and civil engineering" to pull off, is absolutely mesmerizing. We caught up with one of the film's directors, Nick Waggoner, for some insight into the Lightsuit Segment and its unique tribute to the inner light we find in the deep woods on a dark night. So, how'd you come up with the idea for the light suit segment? Nick Waggoner: The LED suit was a product of our collaboration with Swedish agency Ahlstrand and Wållgren and Philips TV.
