20 Historic Black and White Photos Colorized One of the greatest facets of reddit are the thriving subreddits, niche communities of people who share a passion for a specific topic. One of the Sifter’s personal favourites is r/ColorizedHistory. The major contributors are a mix of professional and amateur colorizers that bring historic photos to life through color. All of them are highly skilled digital artists that use a combination of historical reference material and a natural eye for colour. When we see old photos in black and white, we sometimes forget that life back then was experienced in the same vibrant colours that surround us today. Below you will find a collection of some of the highest rated colorized images to date on r/ColorizedHistory. I’ve also provide a list of some of the top contributors (in no particular order): - zuzahin aka Mads Madsen [website, facebook] – mygrapefruit aka Sanna Dullaway [website, facebook] – klassixx aka Dana Keller [facebook page] – photojacker aka Jordan J. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
{ k j e r s t i s l y k k e } Infinito, parte 2: Un mono escribiendo la obra de Shakespeare En nuestro artículo previo nos adentramos apenas un poco en el complejo concepto del infinito. Ya les advertí que se trata de un concepto complicado, problemático, paradójico, que se aleja infinitamente del sentido común y parece contradecir a nuestra intuición. Y lo que sucede es que, básicamente, en un Universo infinito todo lo que sea posible y pueda suceder, sucederá. El llamado teorema de los infinitos monos fue planteado originalmente por el matemático Émile Borel con el propósito de mostrar la magnitud de un acontecimiento extraordinariamente improbable. Dicha obra completa consta de treinta y siete obras, más todos los poemas y sonetos, lo cual suma en total 884.429 palabras. Para probar de forma experimental el teorema de los infinitos monos se utilizó un programa de computadora que genera caracteres y palabras de manera aleatoria. Tras ejecutar el programa de manera ininterrumpida por más de una semana, se generaron más de 34 millones de caracteres.

That’s the narrative that’s been spread about Jews for the last 70 years since the Holocaust. We’ve embraced it to our detriment. The Holocaust has scarred us, a yetzer hara (sneaky bastard of a voice in our heads), that keeps trying to tell us how we are defined by our past, controlled by events that happened to us, instead of using those moments as points of growth. And, in a weird way, that’s why all those images of us looking so helpless, so gaunt, in heaps of nameless bodies, have become a morbid fascination for us. But there are other images. These are the images you will see below. But in the end, they do one thing that we desperately need as a people: they tell the real story of the Holocaust. For some reason, we don’t usually hear about American Jewry during World War II, so you may be heartened to know that in 1933, American Jews organized a nation-wide boycott of Nazi-Germany. This amazing photo has made the rounds recently as well.
Indoor Football Practice Facility - Cannon Design The Endowment for the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) commissioned CannonDesign to design a state-of-the-art, multi-use, multi-sport indoor training facility, one that would rival those built in the Mountain West Conference and in other service Academies. As the USAFA competes on the national stage in all sports, the indoor training facility will provide regular uninterrupted daily preparation, enhancing the training opportunities for all Cadets, which is paramount to the success of its athletic programs. As a place of business for the cadets and coaches, the indoor training facility will provide a no nonsense approach to training, which was modeled after the elements of the Academy’s Falcon Stadium. The building is designed to meet USGBC LEED Silver criteria.

The amazing history of the Nobel Prize, told in maps and charts Click to enlarge. (Max Fisher/Washington Post) The United States added three more Nobel laureates to its roster on Monday, all in economics, bringing the national total to an astounding 347 in the prize's history. That's the most of any country in the world, by far: next-highest ranked is Britain with 120 laureates. Up top is a heat map showing which countries have had the most Nobel laureates in the prize's history. Just over 1,000 Nobels have been awarded since the prize was first established in 1901. A stunning 83 percent of all Nobel laureates have come from Western countries (that means Western Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia or New Zealand). Looking at the data this way, it becomes awfully clear that people outside of Europe and North America don't win very many Nobels. To give you a better sense of the degree to which the Nobel really is a predominantly Western prize, here's a pie chart showing the breakdown of the prize-winners by region and country. 1.
ARTE CON PAPEL En honor de "Martaroh" va esta entrada. Como os decía en otro post, me tengo que retener en la publicación de trabajos de mis artistas "basurillas" porque la mayoría de los alumnos no siguen nuestro ritmo "debora-cultura" que tenemos sus profes. Hoy le doy paso a otros tres que trabajan con papel reciclado: periódicos, postales y ¡mapas! Este artista realiza sus series de retratos haciendo collages con postales:¡No dejes de visitar su blog si quieres quedarte pasmado!. Es un artsita neoyorquino que trabaja con periódicos usados y libros viejos para realizar esculturas que a veces deja por las calles. Una especie de perrillos y personajes humanos algo feos pero en cualquier caso sorprendentes. Es un artista multidisciplinar Brasileño que entre otras muchas cosas realiza unos collagues preciosos con mapas(¡ojo al buscarlo en la red!
