Czech Easter tradition of beating women with sticks

According to the pre-Christian tradition, good health, beauty and fertility are assured in the upcoming year to those women who are whipped. More modern tradition holds that the bearer of the “beating” comes equipped with an Easter chant, which includes the following lines, “Give us dyed eggs. If you don’t give dyed, give at least white. The hen will lay a new one for you.” Usually the whippings are a lighthearted token of the tradition. From noon on, originally, the women anointed the men with perfumed oil, but in modern times the oil treatment has more often than not been replaced with buckets of ice cold water.

The Most Expensive Home In America Just Sold For $120 Million

CTNews.com reports that the Copper Beech mansion in Connecticut, which was once the most expensive home for sale in the U.S., has officially sold for $120 million.

The home was first listed for $190 million back in May of 2013, but the 12-bedroom mansion failed to attract a buyer. The price was chopped to $130 million in September, and after another $10 million discount, the gorgeous Connecticut property is now in contract, though there's no word yet on the buyer.

The 50-acre estate dates back to the 1890s, and was owned by timber magnate John Rudey. The property carried a reported $120 million in debt, likely accounting for the sky-high initial sale price.

The 12-bedroom home has 15,000 square feet of living space, 7,000 square feet of basement and attic space, and an 1,800-foot-long driveway. There's also a grass tennis court, innumerable gardens, apple orchard, greenhouses, 75-foot-long heated pool, and a carriage house.

The estate was listed with Christie's International Real Estate and David Ogilvy & Associates.

Sleeveface - The Art of Making Photos

How did I manage to miss the record-to-face-selfie, aka sleevefacing, phenomenon? The term was first coined in 2007 by Welsh DJ Carl Morris after pictures were taken of him holding record sleeves to his faces. An official Sleeveface blog followed in 2008 and the rest is hours of entertainment history. These are some of my favorites . . .

Different Childhood Photos By The Photographer Steve McCurry

Born in Philadelphia, McCurry graduated cum laude from the College of Arts and Architecture at the Pennsylvania State University. Best known for his evocative color photography, Steve McCurry, in the finest documentary tradition, captures the essence of human struggle and joy.

From India

“Most of my images are grounded in people. I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face. I try to convey what it is like to be that person, a person caught in a broader landscape that you could call the human condition.”

In this collection of McCurry’s work, I was impressed with the pictures of children he captured in many areas of the world, including India, Cambodia, Burma, the Philippines, and continuing coverage of Afghanistan.

The US Harvard University has posted a verse of the Holy Quran at the entrance of its faculty of law, describing the verse as one of the greatest expressions for justice in history.

Verse 135 of Sura An Nisa (women chapter) has been posted at a wall facing the faculty’s main entrance, dedicated to the best phrases said about justice.

  
“O ye who believe!
Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses
To Allah, even as againstYourselves, or your parents,
Or your kin, and whether
It be (against) rich or poor:
For Allah can best protect both.”

ALEXANDER WANG and Samsung Electronics have collaborated to create the world's first crowd-sourced fashion bag which will be sold to raise funds for New York-based charity Art Start.

For the design of the gym sack, Wang enlisted his many fashion friends to each create drawings and sketches on Samsung's Galaxy Note II smartphone, which he then curated into one final print.

"The abstract print really captures the energy of New York City," the designer said. "This collaboration is a great example of how technology and style can come together in an unexpected but really meaningful way."

Art Start is a non-profit making organisation that uses art to bring positive change to communities, focusing on the artistic talent of at-risk children aged between five and 21 to provide them with the confidence to embark on meaningful career paths.

"This collaboration with Wang is so exciting because it really demonstrates how technology not only enables but empowers the creative process of fashion designers, artists, and creative individuals," said Younghee Lee, executive vice president of global marketing at Samsung.

The gym sack marks Wang's second accessories collaboration with Samsung in aid of Art Start. Earlier this year he created a limited-edition print that was featured on a bag and mobile phone cover.

BASSO & BROOKE, the original Fashion Fringe at Covent Garden winners of 2004, are back and branching out. Bruno Basso and Christopher Brooke have been on something of a quiet hiatus of late, but that's because they've been busy launching their menswear line, Basso & Brooke Studio.

"Menswear is a natural progression for our label and since the very beginning is something that has been requested over and over. This label is more of a design label rather than just being restricted to fashion," says Basso. "It's our laboratory for experimenting - everything that has a surface can be printed."

And that's exactly what they've been busy doing with any they find available - especially when it comes to sports apparel (Californian skateboards, Japanese bikes and saddles), interiors (soft furnishings, lampshades, scented candles, art posters), and accessories (bags, satchels, iPad cases, stationery, swimwear, footwear).

"It has taken us a good 18 months to get the new project from conception to full development. It is very important for this label to retain the quality and standards of the main line, but we wanted it to be more accessible to people - 'affordable luxury' is how we like to refer to it," elaborates Basso.

ALLSAINTS will make its New York Fashion Week debut in September. The retailer will hold a presentation on Sunday 8 and Monday 9, during which it will showcase its spring/summer 2014 collection.

The presentation will "disrupt the format of the traditional fashion show and integrate product, digital and music" in an "interesting and immersive" way, explains the show invite. Press and buyers will also be able to arrange one-on-one appointments with AllSaints chief creative director Wil Beedle.

The move marks a year of expansion plans for the label, which also launched a film production division, AllSaints Film, earlier this year. The company will commission young innovative filmmakers as well as produce its own in-house content - exploring everything from "music, style and street documentaries to cutting-edge moving installations" - the likes of which will undoubtedly be effectively utilised for the forthcoming NYFW presentation.

GISELE BUNDCHEN has topped the list of highest-earning models for the seventh year running. According to Forbes magazine, the supermodel took home $42 million (£27 million) in the space of a year - thanks to lucrative endorsement deals with H&M, Chanel, Pantene and David Yurman, as well as a stake in Brazilian footwear company Grendene and her own, increasingly profitable, lingerie label.

And it doesn't look as though anyone will overtake her any time soon, so large is the gap between her earnings and those of the second-placed Miranda Kerr. The Australian model was paid an estimated $7.2 million (£4.6 million) in 12 months - thanks in large part to her Kora Organics beauty line, as well as deals with Qantas, David Jones and Mango - which, while undeniably impressive, is almost six times less that of Bündchen.

Two new names to feature in the top ten list this year are Liu Wen (fifth place) and Joan Smalls (eighth). Wen was the first Chinese model to walk in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last year and is the face of Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss and Estée Lauder. Puerto Rican model Smalls was the first Latina ambassador for Estée Lauder and has also racked up impressive endorsement contracts with Givenchy, Fendi, Prabal Gurung and H&M.

Interestingly, eight out of the top 10 models are all either currently Victoria's Secret Angels or have modelled for the lingerie label in the past - showing that the brand's international exposure still remains hugely profitable for its model cast. And next year? Forbes predicts that Karlie Kloss and Kate Upton could make their top 10 debut, while VS regulars Doutzen Kroes and Alessandra Ambrosio, who both dropped off the list this year, are equally likely to make a comeback.

As for that number one spot - the crown belongs to Bündchen for the foreseeable future. Click through the gallery to see the top-earning models of 2013.

How Grains of sand really look like after magnified to 250 times

Who knew sand could look so damn colourful and interesting? Gary Greenberg, that’s who, whose incredible microphotography reveals each grain of sand to be a kaleidoscope of colour and texture that defies its rather bland reputation.

 

 The following grains of sand  images show what they look like after a microscope to magnify hundreds of times. These  grains of sand looks like jewelry or candy. Think of this scene every time you cross the desert or on the shores of the sea.

Photographer, inventor, and scientist, Dr Gary Greenberg has devoted his life to revealing the secret beauty of nature. Beginning his career as photographer and filmmaker, he worked on the first Superman film where he transformed human pancreatic cancer cells into the planet Kyrpton. After earning a Ph.D. in biomedical research, he went on to invent high-definition, three-dimensional light microscopes, for which he was issued eighteen US patents.
