Like old westerns, via tunneling, cleaned out the bank in a small town in India, local thieves.
digged in the 40 meter tunnel under the ground of an old abandoned building located opposite the city bank robbers carried 320 thousand dollars, not counting a few tens of kilograms of jewelry stored in locked cells in the walls of the vault.
Hard to believe that, somewhere on earth there is still a place where a city bank may be protected by the old fashioned way, probably more applicable to the so-century 16th have great granary lock and two guards were on duty in the street.
And the building itself in appearance resembles a large rustic barn with mud floors than a city bank. What is, in principle, and took advantage of the robbers, pick open adobe floor in the store.
And it seems to evidence left by the robbers.
Local authorities say that such a daring robbery could make only local vorŅ, which they hope will soon be caught. Visitors to the bandits it would have been beyond the power to remain undetected for so long in the city in preparation for the robbery, where each knows each other.

Depraved Orgy With 50 Prostitutes In The Palace Of Pope
October 30, 1501 was the apotheosis of the madness that was going on in those days in the Vatican. Cesare Borgia, Cardinal of the Catholic Church and the son of Pope Alexander VI, arranged a "soiree" at the residence of his father, or rather in the papal palace. What made this solemn event so special? That was the fact that is 50 prostitutes in this solemn event.
Do you think the Pope himself did not know anything? Then I want to disappoint you, the party was the Pope and his daughter Lucrezia. 50 call girls initially were quite modest, they were dressed and danced with the children and the "older" guests, but at some point the clothes suddenly disappeared somewhere. Cesare Borgia began to throw chestnuts and undressed girls kneel to collect them from the floorboards. But one way or another, they remain in these positions and thus offer to all guests that the use of such an unforeseen present. Is like as you may visualize, began an orgy. It is said that the Pope Alexander VI was involved in all of this.
Although the Catholic authorities deny that this orgy took place, the master of ceremonies of the Catholic Church, Johann Burchard, a written statement of the party. Scientists studying the history of the Catholic Church, argue that the enemies of the Pope Alexander VI deliberately exaggerated the incident to discredit him and his legacy. But those who are not biased studies history agree that the "party" could well be the case, because all agree that the reign of Alexander VI, connected with the prosperity of corruption and immorality in the Vatican.
Historians and researchers still now cannot come to a common denominator. The main problem lies in the fact that all of the information about Alexander VI, which is available today, was made 300 years after his death, so anything to say exactly very hard.

Wine.
Rising prices of collectible wines superior growth dynamics value of gold and oil. On this occasion in the UK even a specialized fund focused on investments in wines from the Bordeaux Chateau producing a strictly limited number of drinks.
Things celebrities.
Old posters autographed by dead rock stars, things that belonged to celebrities, can cost a fortune and are able to enrich their owners. But even if you own such a bagatelle solely for the love of art, do not be afraid to lose in value - the value of such things is growing every year.
Vintage cars.
The index shows that over the past 10 years, the investment value of classic cars has increased by nearly 500 percent. Rare cars released over thirty years ago, with proper care and the state can bring their owners a lot of money, provided that they can be properly sold. For example, recently vintage Ferrari 250 GT was sold for 8.8 million dollars (given that it was bought in 2011, only 5 million).
Wristwatches.
Growing demand, limited supply and low maintenance costs - you have all the reasons to invest in luxury watches. For example, collectible model of Rolex or Patek Phillipe, not only did not lose in value over the years, but significantly increased, to make you the owner of non-small percent.
Diamonds.

Daqri Upgraded Construction Helmets
Los Angeles startup Daqri upgraded construction helmets, integrating it into a technology similar to Google Glass.
Smart Helmet from Daqri has 360-degree navigation cameras, inertial measurement system of industrial-grade, three-dimensional vision camera and a high resolution.
For decades, engineers and builders were able to turn your 2D drawings into 3D renderings using systems like AutoCAD, but Smart Helmet takes this process one step further. Helm allows users to visualize three-dimensional building model in 4D space and interact with them directly.
Smart Helmet offers the same protection as conventional construction helmets, but has a transparent visor covers the upper half of the face of the user. It uses the Android operating system and is able to work 8 hours on one battery charge. Besides the already mentioned functions and features, it can record HD-video, take pictures, and make three-dimensional maps. All of these technologies fit into the size and weight of a typical construction helmet.
Augmented reality in the construction and design is rapidly gaining popularity. The company recently introduced its Lowe Holoroom, in which the customer enters the parameters of planning, creates a virtual room, and can customize it by simple hand gestures.
In the same building, some companies already offer professional technology 4D, based on the use of the tablets. Work with them projecting three-dimensional renderings on the plane, while the other person marks the space for action. Smart Helmet also allows you to perform such operations on their own and without the use of special procedure. Application for the latest helmet will be created separately, so that each sphere of the industry will be able to design their own programs tailored to their needs. For this Daqri supplies with helmet 4D Studio Software is a tool that helps users build applications.
The most superior sample of the latest helmet will be available by the end of October this year, and in December, is scheduled to launch several pilot programs for the field of industrial tests.

The Longest Staircase In The World
Despite the long distance, height and slope of the hill on which the ladder, it attracts many people.
The longest flight of stairs on the ground is located on Mount Niesen in Switzerland, nicknamed "the Swiss Pyramid" for its triangular shape. Ladder length of 3.4 km and 11 674 steps up the mountain slope, starting from a height of 700 meters at the bottom (from the river Kander in the village Muhlen) to 2363 meters at the top of the mountain. The average slopes of the mountain ranges between the colossal 55% and 65%.
For safety reasons, usually stairs closed to the public. But once a year, in June, she opened for the longest single race up the stairs - Niesen Treppenlauf, otherwise known as the Niesenlauf. In the course of the race up to 500 participants have to climb up this horrible stairs at the highest possible speed. Record for the men - one hour and two minutes for women - one hour and nine minutes that really impressive, considering that climb to the top is equivalent to seven Climbing the Empire State Building.
Difficult race is clearly not intended for the faint of heart, but its popularity is amazing. If you are wishing to participate you have to register almost a year before the race to secure a place in the competition. And sometimes it does not guarantee participation last year's race, for example, has been canceled due to heavy snow.
Fortunately, you do not need to puff in the race to take on an exciting path. Instead, you can take the train going parallel to the stairs on the steep slopes of the mountain. During the 28-minute trip, opened in 2010, the year, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the lush alpine forests, meadows and rare herd of cows on a background of snow-covered Alps. The train also passes through several tunnels and high-altitude sites. In addition, there is an outdoor pedestrian tourist route with multiple slides along the way to compensate for the slope of the Swiss pyramid.

Laboratory Orfilda Quietest Place in the World
Silence, usually cause us a sense of calm, but the quietest place on earth drives people crazy.
Or field Labs, acoustic booth in Minnesota, United States, officially registered in the record books as the quietest place on Earth. This is, in fact, anechoic chamber, where you stand on the floor of the grid, and the walls around you are faced with large sound-absorbing wedges of fiberglass.
Want to try? Then I want to warn, though here and quiet here insanely scary. After going through two thick doors, the last sound you hear is the sound of slamming doors. In fact, you will find yourself in a dark room; the light is not included because even lamps can make a room for a couple of decibels louder, though you will not feel it. The door closed, and a second later the noise level drops to -9 dB (familiar to us, "silence" yelling about -30 dB). External noises are completely absent and the brain starts to go crazy. You start to hear the heart beating as gurgles cucumber with milk in your tummy.
Steve Orfield Labs owns Orfild. He loves all those who said that stand the test of peace and happily runs them in the camera. Most cannot stand and 20 minutes and go from there completely disoriented and with crazy eyes. The owner cannot beat your record stay in the room, is 30 minutes.
In addition, to scare people, anechoic chamber serves as a testbed for various manufacturers of acoustic products that use the quietest room in the world to make measurements of interference in their products.

6 Myths About Alcohol, In Which Everyone Believes
Despite the fact that alcohol is an inherent part of holidays, celebrations, meetings, friends, gatherings, hanging and other things most people know almost nothing about him.
Around the drinking happens quite a few myths? This article will be debunked most ridiculous of them.
Myth 1. Alcoholic is a person who drinks too much
We used to think that a person, who uses too much alcohol, certainly is an alcoholic. It all starts with a small glass. Gradually, the dose of alcohol consumed increases, and, ultimately, a transition to the stage of abuse.
Reality: How do you think, can it be considered an alcoholic student who pretty drunk in the evenings several times a week? Even if his behavior does not change after graduation, he is unlikely to turn into a hopeless drunkard, vlachaschih his miserable existence. As though it may sound paradoxical, but in fact most people who drink too much, are not alkogolezavisimymi. This is one of the many reasons why those who really have a problem with alcohol abuse, sometimes so hard to get help.
So, if a person who drinks a lot, is not an alcoholic, who then falls into this category? People, who are looking using the glasses to solve their problems, cope with stress, overcome depression and so on. The emergence of alcohol dependence is most often due to causes physiological and psychological in nature, and not the amount of consumed alcohol. People who are trying to recover from alcoholism, quickly realize that "do not drink" is only part of the struggle, because what made them dependent, not gone anywhere. When a person who is drunk a lot, but it could easily do without booze following week, said "I am not an addicted alcoholic, I just use to drink occasionally,” And the same words we heard from someone who really depends on the alcohol, are lies, with it, first of all, lying to myself.
Myth 2. A glass of liquor in the morning helps relieve the symptoms of a hangover
In the evening if you have not calculated their capabilities and drank too much alcohol, the next morning you will inevitably awaits hangover, the main symptoms are dry mouth, nausea, heaviness in the head and body. To get rid of it, people have resorted to a method, centuries passed from generation to generation: they drop a glass of alcohol that is treated like with like, taking hangover for alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
Reality: The fact that hangover and alcohol withdrawal syndrome are two completely different things.
Most people have never in my life experienced alcohol withdrawal syndrome, as this condition is inherent only in chronic alcoholics. Alcohol withdrawal syndrome observed in humans with full or partial discontinuation of spirits after their long and regular use, while hangover is the body's response to toxic substances produced by the decay of alcohol.
It is known that alcohol suppresses the pituitary vasopressin that leads to a general dehydration is hence, headaches, fatigue, confusion, and nausea. Cleavage of alcohol in the liver accompanied by the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which acts intoxicating person.
A glass of alcohol in the morning after a rough night of fun will bring only short-term relief, then you will only get worse as you continue to "feed" your body of toxins that there already enough.
Myth 3. Those or other type of wine can be combined only with certain products
Everyone knows that the choice of wine, anyway, depends on what you're going to have. Owners of fine restaurants often employ a sommelier is a person who helps visitors chooses the wine so that it blends perfectly with the dishes ordered.
Reality: In fact, all this nonsense and stupidity. Wine experts are only interested to sell you a bottle of expensive.
The only thing you need to rely when choosing wine and snacks it's your personal taste preferences. If you cannot stand the combination of white wine and fruit, replace the last on his favorite dish - roast chicken, for example. Remember: everyone has his own taste - who likes melon and who - watermelon.
Wine experts annually spend dozens of research in order to confirm or refute these or other theories about the compatibility of wine with certain foods. Recently, they found that what will give wine depends not on your chosen dishes; the whole point lies in the interaction of primary tastes. So sweet snacks give the wine bitter and sour, when combined with the salty taste of the products it becomes richer and softer. The important thing is not so much the dish (fish, meat and so on), but the method and the subtleties of cooking (salt, spices, etc.).
Myth 4. The beer should be drunk before eating spirits, and not after the
First drink alcoholic beverages and then strong the most common recommendations that follow everything heavy drinkers who do not want to deal with a morning hangover. In other words - "cannot lower the degree."
Reality: Actually, what matters are not so much a fortress, and the sequence of reception of alcoholic drinks as the number in which you eat them? If you have an evening drink four beers and three glasses of vodka in the morning you will in any case it will be bad, no matter in what order they were in your stomach.
This myth likely came from the fact that in the beginning everything as usually drink less spirits, and then - that will have.
Myth 5. Operate the gag reflex sober and help you avoid a hangover
Most people believe that if in the midst of the fun you have touched alcohol and you vomit up the alcohol had time to get to blood, and then it will help you get a sobering and avoid a hangover the next morning.
Reality: Actually vomiting cannot rid your body of alcohol before it gets into the bloodstream, as most of it is already there! Alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream through the mucous membrane of the stomach and small intestine. This process happens so quickly that the only way to prevent it - is to cause a gag reflex immediately after drinking.
When you have touched, the cause of your poor health and sickness is not alcohol, and an overabundance of hydrochloric acid in your stomach. However, before its contents will break out, alcohol will have time to get into the bloodstream - and sobering, alas, did not come.
Myth 6. Abuse of alcohol by minors is reaching epidemic proportions; at least so say the majority of parents whose children are in their teens.
Reality: In fact, the level of consumption of alcohol by minors falls when compared with previous years. Between 1983 and 1997, the number of teens abusing alcohol decreased. But given the fact that most statistical studies ordered by interested organizations in determining the outcome, they often have to manipulate the original data to prove their position, which may run counter to the dry statistics.
Around the drinking happens quite a few myths? This article will be debunked most ridiculous of them.
Myth 1. Alcoholic is a person who drinks too much
We used to think that a person, who uses too much alcohol, certainly is an alcoholic. It all starts with a small glass. Gradually, the dose of alcohol consumed increases, and, ultimately, a transition to the stage of abuse.
Reality: How do you think, can it be considered an alcoholic student who pretty drunk in the evenings several times a week? Even if his behavior does not change after graduation, he is unlikely to turn into a hopeless drunkard, vlachaschih his miserable existence. As though it may sound paradoxical, but in fact most people who drink too much, are not alkogolezavisimymi. This is one of the many reasons why those who really have a problem with alcohol abuse, sometimes so hard to get help.
So, if a person who drinks a lot, is not an alcoholic, who then falls into this category? People, who are looking using the glasses to solve their problems, cope with stress, overcome depression and so on. The emergence of alcohol dependence is most often due to causes physiological and psychological in nature, and not the amount of consumed alcohol. People who are trying to recover from alcoholism, quickly realize that "do not drink" is only part of the struggle, because what made them dependent, not gone anywhere. When a person who is drunk a lot, but it could easily do without booze following week, said "I am not an addicted alcoholic, I just use to drink occasionally,” And the same words we heard from someone who really depends on the alcohol, are lies, with it, first of all, lying to myself.
Myth 2. A glass of liquor in the morning helps relieve the symptoms of a hangover
In the evening if you have not calculated their capabilities and drank too much alcohol, the next morning you will inevitably awaits hangover, the main symptoms are dry mouth, nausea, heaviness in the head and body. To get rid of it, people have resorted to a method, centuries passed from generation to generation: they drop a glass of alcohol that is treated like with like, taking hangover for alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
Reality: The fact that hangover and alcohol withdrawal syndrome are two completely different things.
Most people have never in my life experienced alcohol withdrawal syndrome, as this condition is inherent only in chronic alcoholics. Alcohol withdrawal syndrome observed in humans with full or partial discontinuation of spirits after their long and regular use, while hangover is the body's response to toxic substances produced by the decay of alcohol.
It is known that alcohol suppresses the pituitary vasopressin that leads to a general dehydration is hence, headaches, fatigue, confusion, and nausea. Cleavage of alcohol in the liver accompanied by the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which acts intoxicating person.
A glass of alcohol in the morning after a rough night of fun will bring only short-term relief, then you will only get worse as you continue to "feed" your body of toxins that there already enough.
Myth 3. Those or other type of wine can be combined only with certain products

Tutankhamun Was Disabled
Buried in the mask of polished gold Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun was always considered the personification of majestic beauty, but, as it turned out, it was not the case. When the life of Pharaoh had buck teeth and girlish hips, and also suffered from clubfoot. This is the conclusion reached by scientists after the most detailed study of the remains of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh.
According to scientists, the young monarch was not involved in the chariot races, and while walking leaned on his cane. Virtual autopsy, consisting of more than 2,000 computer scanning was carried out in conjunction with genetic analysis of the family of Tutankhamun, who confirmed the theory that his parents were brother and sister. Scientists believe that the cause of physical disability of the future pharaoh became a hormonal imbalance. The history of his family, may also contribute to his untimely death in late adolescence. Previously nominated theory suggests that Tutankhamun was murdered or died after falling from his chariot. In favor of these hypotheses said multiple fractures, which were found on his skull and other parts of the skeleton.
Now, scientists believe that the pharaoh may have died from a hereditary disease, because only one of the fractures occurred before his death, and made it impossible clubfoot chariot races for the heir to the throne of Egypt. The revelations were made as part of the documentary "Tutankhamun naked truth” that will be broadcasted on the British television coming Sunday.
Albert Zink, from the Institute of mummies and the Iceman in Italy, find out the truth about the relationship of the parents of the ruler, studying the DNA of the royal family. He found that Tutankhamun was born from the union of the pharaoh Akhenaten with his own sister. Incest is not condemned by the ancient Egyptians, and they were not aware of its implications for the health of the offspring. Huth Ashrafyan, teacher of surgery at Imperial College (London), said that quite a lot of member of the family unit of Pharaoh, apparently suffering from a disease which can be explained by hormonal disparity. "A lot of his family’s members have alive to a matured old age. Only his line dies early, and with each generation shortened life “he said In favor of the premise of the bodily confines of Tutankhamun say 130 former in the use of walking sticks found in his tomb, says Mail Online.

Little Things That Could Change Life In The Us
We understand that govern the state, especially such as the United States, is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Forgive us too, if we naively offer you sometimes obvious solutions to contemporary problems. For example.
Recently, the American police hit a lot of criticism from the same American society, and in particular on the part of detainees, and sometimes from relatives, which increasingly come and officers say their 14-year-old son, nigga resisted arrest and accident received 16 bullets. Americans everywhere are accused law enforcement of abuse of office.
Imagine a situation where a cop breaks into the house of potential criminal breaks the door and makes a shot in the leg or shoulder. Cowboy, his mother. Later, at the trial it appears that the defendant is innocent, or even a cop wrong door, and besides, he was ready to follow the man in form without any resistance. And the problem could solve simple camera mounted on a police officer.
As a result of such proceedings American society loses confidence in the police, and the police in response to all zhetche deal with detainees this vicious circle of justice in the American way.
The obvious solution:
Some police stations in different states require all employees to fasten small webcam. Of course, 30 years ago it would have been impossible, because carrying all the equipment needed would be the second officer or operator. But now in the palm of one can fit a dozen cameras.
You can catch her by the collar, instead of the buttons on the cap or on the arms. For example, the city police department in Rialto California stun equips all cameras that are activated when removing the unit from the fuse. As a result, the complaints of the population decreased by 88%, but increased complaints officers.
It was played by two factors the fear of being caught in the act and, actually, the footage could resolve any dispute. Both these factors affect both sides of the conflict situation.
Standard picture 7 am, American late for work and rushing to his car to borrow under its belt at all stages and then his streak ends, and such as he hammered the whole road. Nobody wants to miss one forward.
That's because there is one lane cork, which is waiting for a miracle. No beep, no swearing does not help to speed up the movement. No one in America does not know how to cope with this problem ...
The obvious solution:
Sign of the "fusion" could solve the problem of traffic jams. In Germany and throughout the world, are already practicing this innovation, and those who refuse to obey the traffic rules, ruthlessly fines. According to the rules, when the two bands into one cars should be built in a staggered manner. This approach reduces traffic congestion by 40%.
But what works in Germany, does not mean it will work everywhere. But in Pennsylvania has adopted the experience of German cops. In addition to reducing traffic congestion, logisticians have recorded decrease aggressive driving.
5 days a week, 40 hours when a teenager hears, finishing college, he has a mild fever, starts shaking knees and sweaty palms. It feels every American, but he was nowhere to go, he had to repay the loan, which he took to higher education.
Precisely because of this, always in the same time forms a plug at one and the same stretch of road. Why 5 days? Is that the way it is written in the Bible, in which so believe every American?
The obvious solution:
Utah cut the working week for exactly one day, but adds 2 working hours in each day. And workers reported an increase in morale and leadership the company states on the growth of productivity.
Unload the track, and thus reduce the emissions of carbon into the atmosphere. But the state government in 2011, the year returned to their seats because it was difficult to work with the rest of the country, not because it did not work.
The public did not complain to the shorter working week. This meant that once government offices are closed on Fridays, so they take longer to work in the rest of the week. And this in turn means that you can manage to arrange inspection after work, say, on Wednesday.
People prefer a longer working day, if he frees them another day off. The government cannot force businesses to switch to four-day working week, but most likely it will not be necessary, because all the statistics and the rich only trumpeting about the benefits of small everyday life for average American slaves.
Modern American cannot distinguish a kidney from the liver. Therefore, experts spend the best years of his life, to get education and then continually follow the adage "age live - and learn." In addition to the processes of the body, doctors are obliged to deal in drugs. No matter where in the advertisement says: "Cannot cope with constipation while watching a football match? Our drug XXX solves your problem! Where marketers know that will solve the problem? Suddenly required surgery and pills advertised only aggravate health?
For two years in college advertisers are taught that their salary does not depend on demand and the ability to offer. In fact, they are beautifully told what American wants to hear, and no more. Take the word of man in a white coat with a flat-screen seriously, the same thing, that if, after the operation, you know that your surgeon to do the operation on the heart - just an actor. Especially because the most effective drugs are usually cheaper because they always know about the doctors always prescribe them.
The manufacturers of these drugs do not need to chase after profits and fame that they are already all there.
The obvious solution:
Consider the prohibition of such advertising.
In the world there are only a few countries where you can advertise medicines without Kaki any restrictions, and America among them. That is, in most countries understand that the pharmaceutical companies are set to more profit, not on quality.
As a consequence, huge advertising campaigns ruined many lives. For example, in the late 1970s, the United States struck viral infomercial about a cure for headaches. This medication is able to cope with a headache, that's just the side effects has not been canceled. The descendants of those who took the drug were born with physical disabilities. Although the people who believe in advertising, in my opinion, already born with a deviation.
Homeless is a huge burden on American society. Rich Americans disgusted look at the smelly drunks, rotting in boxes at the nightclub, and, of course, their toad strangling pay their taxes to the government take care of them.
It is difficult even to count the size of the problem, because it is impossible to count officially non-existent people who do not have residence permits, documents that do not undergo an annual medical examination. In America, think only those who are willing to pay.
The obvious solution:
We need to give them all the free housing. Nobody demands for their luxurious mansions, like the stars of showbiz. Simple condominiums with shower and toilet will solve the problem. Provide shelter to the homeless, Americans expect to save taxpayers money.
Approximately one homeless person costs the US 41,000 dollars a year. Often, this contingent has health problems, there are also mental. Not a good life, they become homeless.
In Nashville, established social house for the homeless, where everyone is invited to free housing. By counting the number of homeless people, the costs for the previous year and the costs for this, it became clear that the city treasury 16281 dollar saved on a homeless man.
It is foolish to expect from binge drinkers that as soon as he will be in a heated room, then immediately pour their entire cheap viskar sink. But as a rule, the people who have given a second chance, they tried to grasp it.
But this time, the problem lies in the very richest Americans. They are due to the hazard will keep homeless people on the street just because they cannot bear the thought that some drunk will be free to live in the apartment while they tear their pants in order to make the next payment on the mortgage.
- The cameras on the police.

Real Vehicles Printed On The 3d-Printer
Several years ago, 3D-printers have very limited capacities and sizes. But now you can use them to print even the most complex and ambitious designers, such as cars and airplanes. Today we tell about some real vehicles, created using three-dimensional printers.
Cavity.
Cavity Printed on the 3D-printer skateboard. Standard modern skateboards have as a base seven-layer wooden board, which is attached to the wheel. The quality of the vehicle is heavily dependent on the level of pressing and bonding layers. But students of the University of California in partnership with Cavity Boards have developed a new technology to create these boards. They began to print them using the three-dimensional printer.
Board called Cavity became the first such sports equipment. It’s printed using lazer nospechennogo nylon. The first tests of this board professional skateboarder showed that she did not listen to them worse than the most expensive boards from top manufacturers.
3DP-F1.
3DP-F1 Printed on the 3D-printer bicycle. In April 2014 the Australian company Flying Machine printed on a three-dimensional printer, one of the world's first bike of this kind. The frame of the bike with the name of 3DP-F1 consists of titanium tubes, printed using said digital simulator.
Thus his bike 3DP-F1 was developed accordingly parameters Director of Flying Machine. Thus, the manufacturer wanted to show that people in the future thanks to the 3D-printer can receive vehicles that are ideal for each individual. However, their cost will not be much different from the serial products.
Energica Ego.
The world's first electric motorcycle printed on the 3D-printer. The vehicle with the name Energica Ego became the world's first electric motorcycle created using a three-dimensional printer. However, not all parts of the bike were printed in this manner. At the printers have only been made fairings, headlights and some other structural elements. Still, when it comes to high speeds, it is better to trust in the traditional rather than experimental technologies.
A Energica Ego can accelerate to a speed of 240 kilometers per hour. In this printed out using an innovative laser technology items promise to be as strong and resistant to changes in temperature and humidity.
Vagina Kayak.
This is one of the most unusual vehicles worldwide. This small sport boat is the famous author of the Japanese artist named Megumi Igarashi, implemented by means of the money collected on one of kraudfandingovyh sites.
Unusual this kayak in that it repeats its forms appearance of the vagina of the above artist. For its production she photographed her bosom, made on the basis of a three-dimensional image model genitals, and then for a few days printed on the 3D-printer, a boat with these unusual forms. With the help of his project Megumi Igarashi wanted to break through the information blockade in Japan relative to the vagina. Indeed, the very mention of the female body in the media and public debate in the Land of the Rising Sun is considered unacceptable.
Urbee Hybrid.
Printed on the 3D-printer car. And the world's first full-fledged car was printed on a three-dimensional printer back in 2010, when the technologies were just beginning to develop. So the appearance of a car with the name Urbee Hybrid was a breakthrough in the field of 3D-printing.
Sulsa.
The world's first aircraft printed on the 3D-printer. Unfortunately, the world does not yet exist created using a three-dimensional printer, even small airplanes full of civil aviation. There are still only small pilot drones. The first of these aircraft was Sulsa, which appeared in the summer of 2011.
With the help of the printer was printed only body Sulsa. The engine was put on it separately. And, despite the fact that far Sulsa in size and functionality to these aircraft, the aircraft became the first "child» 3D-printer, without help raised in the space
The world's first rocket, printed on 3D-printer. NASA for several years on the three-dimensional printer prints the individual parts of missiles and space equipment, but it is too early to talk about creating similarly full of devices for flight to orbit the Earth.
Anyway, the bigger missiles that can bring a man into space or tons of payload. But the British team of scientists and engineers created using the 3D-printer miniature spacecraft. It is expected that this missile will be launched into orbit in late 2014. First, it will rise to a height of about 20 km of the balloon, and then will fly on their own. For a while speeding up the rate of 1,600 kilometers per hour.
Cavity.

A Energica Ego can accelerate to a speed of 240 kilometers per hour. In this printed out using an innovative laser technology items promise to be as strong and resistant to changes in temperature and humidity.
Vagina Kayak.
This is one of the most unusual vehicles worldwide. This small sport boat is the famous author of the Japanese artist named Megumi Igarashi, implemented by means of the money collected on one of kraudfandingovyh sites.
Unusual this kayak in that it repeats its forms appearance of the vagina of the above artist. For its production she photographed her bosom, made on the basis of a three-dimensional image model genitals, and then for a few days printed on the 3D-printer, a boat with these unusual forms. With the help of his project Megumi Igarashi wanted to break through the information blockade in Japan relative to the vagina. Indeed, the very mention of the female body in the media and public debate in the Land of the Rising Sun is considered unacceptable.
Urbee Hybrid.
Printed on the 3D-printer car. And the world's first full-fledged car was printed on a three-dimensional printer back in 2010, when the technologies were just beginning to develop. So the appearance of a car with the name Urbee Hybrid was a breakthrough in the field of 3D-printing.
Sulsa.
The world's first aircraft printed on the 3D-printer. Unfortunately, the world does not yet exist created using a three-dimensional printer, even small airplanes full of civil aviation. There are still only small pilot drones. The first of these aircraft was Sulsa, which appeared in the summer of 2011.
With the help of the printer was printed only body Sulsa. The engine was put on it separately. And, despite the fact that far Sulsa in size and functionality to these aircraft, the aircraft became the first "child» 3D-printer, without help raised in the space
The world's first rocket, printed on 3D-printer. NASA for several years on the three-dimensional printer prints the individual parts of missiles and space equipment, but it is too early to talk about creating similarly full of devices for flight to orbit the Earth.
Anyway, the bigger missiles that can bring a man into space or tons of payload. But the British team of scientists and engineers created using the 3D-printer miniature spacecraft. It is expected that this missile will be launched into orbit in late 2014. First, it will rise to a height of about 20 km of the balloon, and then will fly on their own. For a while speeding up the rate of 1,600 kilometers per hour.

Many may say that all this is useless, saying that "leopard modify his spots", however the statistics will let know you the correct opposite. According to statistics, the participation in artistic and creative programs in this prison, greatly reduce reoffending by its participants.
«Gang Prison Project» is a program that is implemented in a California prison Norco since 2006. Photographer agency Reuters Mario Anzuoni received permission prison director to participate in creative activities of prisoners.
The idea of re-socialization through art is not new. More and more prisons offer its inmates various classes: art, music, theater. Some of the participants, to their surprise, they will know that they have a real talent. But the goal of these studies is quite different.
Why prisoners play in the theater? It turns out that participation in theater classes taught convicted sympathy, empathy, in a word, empathy. Theatrical master class helps them learn to deal with their own emotions, often negative. Going into the role, they can afford to show fear, shame, joy, etc. You will not believe, but some of them feel these emotions for the first time it is here in the theater. Inmates also learn to recognize their own feelings and the feelings of others.
At this time, the prisoners led by actor Tim Robbins participate in the play-commedia dell'arte. This type of Italian street theaters of the XVI century based on improvisation, also called commedia dell'arte, as characteristic of such representations are masks and painted faces of the actors.
The famous actor Tim Robbins, known worldwide for his role in the movie "Shawshank Redemption", conducts theater workshops in prison Norco.
This is more than a regular theater. Inmates participating in the project, meet with various meditation techniques that they start classes in the theater. This helps them to calm down and focus before rehearsal.
During the workshop, all participants are playing short, improvised scenes. Sometimes some of them so much included in the role than strongly impress the guards who act in the role of the theater audience.
Actors before the performance impose makeup.Prisoners after the performance. Many of them only learned here to show positive emotions.
"On stage, the prisoners are no longer criminals. Does not matter what they put here. Within a few hours, they may simply be cast. And we the audience, "- wrote the photographer Mario Anzuoni.
Despite the fact that creative programs for prisoners bring significant helpful special effects, there will for all time be those who will condemn every new idea re-socialization, just because it is a lot of means. These critics, probably never thought about the fact that such studies are saving someone's life, including, quite possibly, and their own.
