Overton Window

Atashi_Tada Posted 15 Jan.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Miss Dukascopy 2014 #Interesting #Sociology
This is very interesting subject for me as sociologist, I think pretty much everyone should be away of how it works.
Overton Window - the theory that describes as a narrow "window" the range of ideas the public will accept. Saying in easy words - very tricky way how group of radical/extreme movement can make their beliefs not only acceptable (even if that was Taboo in all public before), but also make it legal.
Sometimes I am really shocked to read global and UK news, but this theory perfectly d…

Can you imagine - this guy could piercing his body with any knife or anything else without being injured!!This sounds pretty much unreal for me but there are so many proof videos and photos that it makes non-sense for me at all. How???He was kind of superman who was trying to show people that actually everything goes from their mind and faith. I was brave enough to watch this video - this is just unbelievable, maybe that all was just a good trick with doctors and illusionists so we people from t…

30 Unique And Must-See Photos From Our Past PART2

Atashi_Tada Posted 16 Aug.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Interesting #Old Photos #Past
This is Part 2 of the great photos of the past. Can't believe some of them are real life. 11. Suntan vending machine, 1949, looks quite unhealthy!12. A space chimp poses for the camera after a successful mission to space in 1961. These are my emotions if I win Miss Dukascopy contest 13. Unknown soldier in Vietnam, 1965 with smiley eyes!14. Little girl comforting her doll in the ruins of her bomb damaged home, London, 1940, <315. Illegal alcohol being poured out during Prohibition, Detroit 1929. Just WOW! So much wasting.. Save it for Friday!16. Austrian boy receives new shoes during WWII. Looks exactly like me when I finally find what I like 17. Construction of the Berlin wall, 1961. I saw a part of this wall in Riga - nothing special!18. Animals being used as a part of medical therapy in 1956. Mi-mi-mi-therapy I'm sure they'd help me too!19. Hitler’s officers and cadets celebrating Christmas, 1941. That's a huuge table!!20. Children eating their Christmas dinner during the Great Depression: turnips and cabbage. This almost makes me cry Check other parts of this post:Part 1http://www.dukascopy.com/fxcomm/blog/?action=post-show&post_id=3018Part 3http://www.dukascopy.com/fxcomm/blog/?action=post-show&post_id=3023

Jane Elliotts famous experiment with kids

Atashi_Tada Posted 14 Aug.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Interesting
I love different experiments that people do on another people to see how they change accordingly. Below is the significant story about usual American former schoolteacher and how graphically she managed to show what the racism means in action and also the consequence of this effect. One day Elliott asked what kids from the class knew about black people. The children responded with various racial stereotypes such as ignorance, unemployment, and other labels commonly given to Native Americans and …

Atashi_Tada Posted 7 Aug.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Science #Interesting
Continuing the subject about someone's copies - there is now possibility to capture yourself in 3D format!!!Looking for really unusual present? Using the latest in 360-degree scanning and 3-D printing technologies, Twinkind, a new company based in Hamburg, Germany, will turn you, your loved ones, or your pets into a marvelously detailed little statues. There are also different sizes of the sculptures and the prize for them is more than acceptable, knowing how futuristic is the action by itself …

Pixel sculpture of real girl in Bristol

Atashi_Tada Posted 5 Aug.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Art #Interesting
This looks really really creepy! One dad loves his daughter so much that he actually made her sculpture in pixels on the Bristol station.The idea and creative process is pretty awesome, but I would be really scarred to see this girl at night when nobody else is on the platform!! See more pictures of how she was created inside + bonus - a video, really creepy!If I'd be a filmmaker I would definitely make a horror movie with pixel monsters eating humans )Here you can see ready sculpture with its p…

Make youself and your life as you prefer

Atashi_Tada Posted 26 July  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Interesting
So powerful - this picture was taken in one of the orphanages in Iraq. Little girl dreaming about her mother, who has never been seen before. Tired of waiting, she painted a mother on the pavement herself and felt asleep on her chest.I see this picture from the positive philosophical view that if you don't want to wait forever until something unreal happens - you need to make it yourself and go further.

I'm not a fan of insects at all, but this one makes me so Mimimi!It's a fluffy Venezuelan Poodle moth and it's becoming very popular all around the world because of its cuteness I could hardly believe this is actually real The species was only recently identified, in 2009, look - it's so adorable! ..and these ears ) (more pictures and small video inside)

Giant whale on London beach

Atashi_Tada Posted 23 June  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #London #Art #Interesting
London is amazing! You never know what you'll see next! This realistic 17-metres long whale you see on the picture below is actually an art installation made from glass fibre and it looks exactly as real!! So creepy.. During the performance a team of performers acted as scientists and carried out ‘investigations’ on the whale, while a team from the British Divers Marine Association were on hand to answer any qustions about what would happen if a whale turned up for real.Imagine yourself enjoying…
