Youth flocked to the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and took over this performance. Why? Because it was Tchaikovsky on the program!
Julian Beever, better known as The Sidewalk Picasso, is the producer of anamorphic drawings – optical illusions created with chalk. This English artist brings pavements to life across England, France, Germany, USA, Australia and Belgium. Although the following pieces of artwork do look as though they have depth and dimension, they are completely flat. How it works: the murals are [...]
blogs.telegraph.co.uk/ A huge part of Chinese New Year, for me, are the lights. The crackle and boom of fireworks were ubiquitous during the 15 days of celebration – even before that. Lanterns and dazzling lights take over the streets. Every year, when the huge countdown clock on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala reaches 00:00, I’d run down the [...]
Dear future university students, I know I’m just a first year student, but I’ve proved all the teachers wrong! They scare us and tell us that our marks will drop significantly lower, but I’ve found I’ve maintained my marks, and even improved them from high school.

Junior high students usually assume all the "high schoolers" get the big awards. And sadly, sometimes that's true. But what students may not realize is that being older isn't a large factor for most of these awards.
So I’m pretty sure that you all know how much I love buying indie games, especially when they’re on sale. In fact, I think I have a horrible habit of buying PC games on sale and never play them. That’s okay, developers love people like me! Anyway, I have a fantastic deal-breaker for you today. You’ll love this. Remember the [...]

This week I went shopping downtown – yes, in the freezing cold – and I found a really neat little clothing store on 17th avenue right by Bernard Callebaut called Blame Betty. The moment you walk into the store you immediately notice the unique edgy vintage-y atmosphere that you don’t find in shops the mall. There was a large selection of different types [...]

What do you do when you first get home from school? Research has shown that most kids come home from school and go on a social media website. This results in homework being done late at night. They end up losing track of time and spend hours and hours on the computer. Time management is important because it helps you [...]

Bryan Berg claims that he has been exposed to the delicate art of card-stacking since he was eight years old. Over time, he developed an interest of stacking cards; today he holds a Guinness World Record.
I edited the first image off the Internet using the Premium version of Picnik. It’s amazing how, with the right editing tools, you can change your look on the Web. If somebody on a chat site with the left-side image as a profile picture tried to add you, would you add them back? What about somebody with the right-side image? [...]
