Strangely Familiar. Unusual Objects for Everyday life
The "Strangely Familiar" project rethinks existing devices and harnesses their functionality to make them more understandable, meaningful and delightful. The vehicle for investigation was everyday digital devices found in the domestic environment. This work was exhibited for the first time on the 22nd of January 2005 as a special event at AB+, Via Della Basilica 13, Torino (Italy). A second iteration of the project has been presented under the name "Strangely Familiar Future. Unusual objects for every day working life". The show took place in the evocative atmosphere of the Old Post Office, located inside the Milan Central Station, during the Milan Furniture Fair 2005 (Salone del Mobile), in collaboration with Tecno.

Ice Maze - Buffalo Sports City
Ice Maze - Buffalo Sports City
Apart from all the delicious food and the fun rides, people in Buffalo were most excited about the giant ice maze built in the center of the city. The world record creation was made up of 22 hundred blocks of ice that weighed 600 thousand pounds of ice.
Over 60 thousand people gathered in downtime Buffalo, for the Powder Keg Festival, and the chance to go through the world’s largest ice maze. Now, as the ice maze begins to melt, local authorities are confronted with a flooding problem, so they've set up several pumps to drain the water into the streets.

How To Get 6 Pack Abs In Short Time Period
HOW TO GET 6PACK ABS IN SHORT TIME PERIOD
1.
Step 1
Getting six-pack abs is all about building muscle and losing fat. As the saying goes, "Abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym." Everyone has abs, it's just a matter of exposing them, and getting a six-pack is more about diet than it is about exercise.
2.
Step 2
If you're looking to slim down and tone up, and you only have a week to do it, start with your diet. Cut out the fats, add more fruits and vegetables into your daily meals, and stick with fish and chicken or dark leafy greens such as spinach and kale for protein. Drink plenty of water and stay off the booze. Stay away from high-sugar food and drinks such as fruit juices and even so-called health snacks like granola.
3.
Step 3
Try to get in at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise per day. That could mean walking down the street to get lunch or a cup of coffee, or going for a walk or taking a jog on a treadmill or around your neighborhood. Take the stairs at work, at least part of the way. Through it all, keep an upright posture, which alone will strengthen your core muscles. The point is to get your blood flowing and your metabolism moving.
4.
Step 4
Getting a six-pack in a hurry is going to require some sweat. Crunches are good, but traditional sit-ups are better. Proper form in each is key. Use a yoga mat or exercise mat for cushioning on the floor. If you have a workout partner, opt for the sit-up. Have him kneel at the base of your feet while you get into position. Your back and feet should be flat on the floor, with your legs bent. Have your partner hold your ankles while you use your abs to lift your chest to your knees. Do not use your arms to lift your head. Work your core no more than four days a week, and try to mix up your routine.
As an alternative to crunches or sit-ups, Pilates and yoga offer a great core workout, and for more advanced ab work, invest in a Swiss medicine ball.

If you can't quite manage in a week, don't stop! If you eat right and stay active, you'll reveal your six-pack in no time.
