A country that is rich in history, a land that has known great prosperity and despair, a world that is beautiful and full of life yet can be just as raw and difficult to survive in. Egypt is a place that holds the roots of humankind and secrets still undiscovered. Many of the objects we use every day and the use of certain everyday objects originated in Egypt. Objects such as the toothbrush, toothpaste, locks and keys, makeup, combs, wigs, deodorant and scissors. Makeup was used not for beauty but for skin-care; it was mainly used to protect people's skin from the sun's harmful rays.

Az Arizona északi részén, Flagstaff városkájától alig egy órányi járásra található 1,2 km széles és 180 méter mély meteor kráter, körülbelül 40 ezer éves, ami a földtörténeti korokhoz viszonyítva fiatalnak számít. Állapota a sivatagi körülmények miatt jó. A becslések szerint a nikkel-vas összetételű Canyon Diablo meteorit átmérője 50 méter, míg súlya 150 ezer tonna volt. Érdekesség, hogy a kráter egy család tulajdona 1903 óta, és belépő ellenében látogatható, sőt még maradványokat és lehet keresgélni a peremén. 1964-ben egy Cessna géppel berepültek a kráter belsejébe, hogy közelebbről is láthassák a mélyedést, de az erős légörvények miatt a gép nem tudott onnan kijutni, és a földbe csapódott.
What formally was the demolition of the cellars of the Madrid Regional Service of Health´s Old Building is now a mesmerizing lush green garden accomplished using minimum possible elements and a very low cost. Designed by Estudio Caballero Colon architects, the garden fights the deterioration of our natural environment by maximizing the use of recycled materials. Located on O´Donnell Street, Spain, it sports a very unique design that appears somewhat like an enlarged graffiti formed by the plantation area, concrete paths and drainage.

The former National Arms Factory in Saint Etienne is now adorned with numerous (twelve, to be specific) tree sculptures which have been carved out of street furniture that used to line the lanes of eastern central French city in the past. The recycled aluminum trees, designed and erected by the French architect and designer Didier Muller, seek to blend furniture so neatly with art.

The Artificial Vision and Intelligent Systems Laboratory (VisLab) of Italy’s Parma University have developed two solar-powered cars that will make an eco-trip from Rome to Shanghai. But, what makes this trip stand above the rest is the fact that the cars will run without a driver. Looking like a small van, these orange colored cutie-pies are autonomous, controlled by an on-board computer called GOLD, short for Generic Obstacle and Lane Detector.
