In defence of tv.

 

This is a most extraordinary show that is airing on my Talk Talk TV box at the moment.

 

The Curse of Oak Island

 

To avoid adverts I record the shows and when playing back I skip the adverts. I never have trouble deciding what to watch as I set the box up to record whole series's and then watch at my leisure.

Latvian company accomplishes a worlds first parachute jump from a drone. :thumbsup:

 

 

 

We did it! We have accomplished the World’s first human flight with the drone and jump at high altitude. On May 12, our 28-propeller Aerones's drone has lifted a skydiver Ingus Augstkalns at a height of 330 metres, from where he accomplished the planned jump and landing with the parachute

Casa Vicens the first house designed by Antoni Gaudí, can be visited for the first time after remaining a private residence for more than 130 years. It is the last World Heritage Site building to open to the public in the city of Barcelona, and it will officially open in the autumn of 2017.

The First House Gaudi Ever Designed Just Opened to the Public After 130 Years

 

 

He certainly created some out of the normal buildings and 130 years later he is still influencing the architectural world.

 

When Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (25 June 1852 – 10 June 1926) graduated from the Barcelona Architecture School in 1878, the director of the school Elies Rogent reportedly declared: "Gentlemen, we are here today either in the presence of a genius or a madman!" [1] Well over a century later, this tension is still evident in Gaudí's work; though he is widely regarded as a genius architect, his distinctive style stands as a singularity in architectural history - simultaneously awe-inspiring and bizarre, never fitting into any stylistic movement, and never adapted or emulated, except by those still working to complete his magnum opus, Barcelona's famous Sagrada Família.

 

Spotlight: Antoni Gaudí

In case anyone is wondering (as I was), the "Slack" referred to in the above posting has nothing to do with the Slackware Linux operating system.

When I saw the lead in " If you think using Slack is Easy, then" I thought hey up Eric has written an article. :devil:
