sancaidao WATCH: Baauer’s “Harlem Shake” Is The Beating Heart Of A New YouTube Dance Meme February 8th, 2013 Dayton O'Connor Does this mean that Baauer is going to be the next PSY? Trap producer Baauer has quickly ascended to the upper echelon of tastemaker approved beatmakers. In short, he’s making money, but he’s still got the underground shine. Or he did. It all started about a week ago. From there other YouTube users took a crack at the “Harlem Shake” dance. The clip begins with the focus on a familiar, conventional scene. Observe. Even College Humor has gotten around to doing their own version. Odds are, if you work in an office, that someone will have the bright idea to make a company wide “Harlem Shake” clip in about five weeks. Check out the full “Harlem Shake” below.

There are martial arts taught around the world that are designed to break people, not boards, and you've still got some learning to do, kid. Starting with... Country of Origin: Russia Russia is a country with a history of diverse, if not incredibly numerous, invaders, having been attacked by the Mongols, the Huns, the French, and the Germans at one time or another. Over time the Russians developed a particularly brutal form of wrestling on the steppes. They originally taught it to the Red Army and government agents, but with crime on the rise, sambo has seen a lot of use by bodyguards, who added a few extra moves like "killing your attacker with his own knife, making him look like a giant douche in front of everybody."

Baguazhang Baguazhang (Chinese: 八卦掌; pinyin: Bàguà Zhǎng) is one of the three main Chinese martial arts of the Wudang school, the other two being Taijiquan and Xingyiquan. It is more broadly grouped as an internal practice (or neijia gong). Bāguà zhǎng literally means "eight trigram palm," referring to the trigrams of the Yijing (I Ching), one of the canons of Taoism.[1] History[edit] Modern styles[edit] Common aspects[edit] Internalist Zhang Zhaodong, also known as Zhang Zhankui The practice of circle walking, or "turning the circle", as it is sometimes called, is Baguazhang's characteristic method of stance and movement training. Many distinctive styles of weapons are contained within Baguazhang; some use concealment, like the "scholar's pen" or a pair of knives (the most elaborate, which are unique to the style, are the crescent-shaped deer horn knives (Chinese: 鹿角刀; pinyin: Lùjiǎodāo).

Technology - SR-71 Blackbird: How to fly the world's fastest plane During the Cold War, the US Air Force operated the world's fastest air-breathing aircraft - the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. Colonel Rich Graham tells BBC Future what made it so special. It was a plane which flew at the edge of space; so high that most other jet engines would seize because of the lack of air. A plane that flew so fast that its airframe heated and grew during flight. A plane that, if needed, could outrun missiles launched to bring it down. READ: Amazing stories of the Cold War's ultimate spy plane The Lockheed SR-71 was a product of airplane maker Lockheed's Skunk Works, a secretive project which came up with some of the world's most advanced aircraft. From 1966 until its last mission in 1989, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird flew thousands of missions around the globe, photographing military installations from China to Egypt, the Arctic Circle to North Korea. Colonel Rich Graham flew the Blackbird from 1974 until the mid-1980s, first as a mission pilot and then as a trainer.

The Confidence Economy: An Interview with T. J. Jackson Lears May 7, 2013 — I | Confidence and Trust B. R. Cohen (BC): Questions about trust, faith, and chance in American cultural history are at the core of your work as I see it. Your interest in confidence and con men is especially striking. JACKSON LEARS (JL): I think that’s right. BC: The particular cast to confidence and deception, your history of advertising shows, is one tied up in economic markets and financial transactions. JL: If not universal, it’s at least widely shared by various threads of tradition and historical circumstances. BC: Maybe in the American setting the distance from an official church helps explain why the confidence and deception that get bound up with faith and hope have more to do with capitalistic structures or sales or market-based mechanisms, a context that is much more dominant here. JL: Absolutely, the confidence games take the form of their setting. II | “All history is the history of unintended consequences” BC: What is that historical study for? BC.
