Sarbi - Daegu 2011

The Official Mascot - Sarbi is cute, friendly and brings good luck to the
IAAF World Championships Daegu 2011!

The design of mascot Sarbi is actually derived from the Sapsal-gae, an indigenous canine breed that originated from the region around Daegu. Sapsal-gae are very much loved by the Korean people, as they believe that Sapsal-gae would bring them good luck and fortune, just as they would bless good fortune to the Championships.

The mascot’s colours are developed from the ‘Colorful Daegu’ brand and they complement the city’s commitment to a colourful and vibrant Championships.

Shenzhen Summer Universiade

UU, the mascot of the 26th Summer Universiade evolved from the event's logo 'Happy U'.

UU is shining, lively and colorful as well as futuristic. UU is a lovable smiling face. The designer tried to break away from the tradition of the Universiades' mascots that were based on animals and plants. Shiny and colorful material helps point out to the future, without any implication od ideology, politics and religion. UU comes from the future and symbolizes the beginning of a new era.

UU, mascot for the Shenzhen Summer Universiade, is the brainchild of a design team headed by Wang Yuefei, a renowned local designer. The other four young members of the team include graphic designers Guo Dong and Xing Yishun, animation designer Wang Guanqun and 3D animation designer Li Xinyi. UU, close kin to the Universiade emblem, is a smiling face developed from the Happy U. In the shape of U, the initial letter of “Universiade”, it represents a great departure from tradition as important sport meetings tend to use human figures, animals or plants as their mascots.

"UU" is given a variety of cute facial expressions: joyous, sweet and somewhat playful. These trendy and cheerful images are designed to embody the great vitality and uplifting spirit typical of the young people, express the expectation of the host city for the upcoming Shenzhen Summer Universiade, and highlight the role of the Games as a stage where young athletes with different racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds compete and show us their best form.

Shenzhen, China - August 12th to 23rd, 2011

Emblem “Happy U” consists of colored dots of varying size

Meditacija na Meteorima

Nekada nije potrebno putovati daleko da bi se sitglo na fantastično mesto. Ljudi maštaju o putovanju u Boliviju, na Macchu Pichu u Peru, Tadž Mahal u Indiji, da bi videli nešto fascinanto, dok Amerikanci i Japanci plaćaju hiljade dolara da bi došli u naš komšiluk i doživeli neverovatnu prirodu, hrabru kulturu koja se branila od osvajača i čuvala svoje duhovno i kulturno blago na neuhvatljivim vrhovima milionima godina starih gromadnih palnina. Ovo putovanje nas vodi u oblake, svete planine i neverovatne predele, pokreće energiju i vodi nas na mesta od kojih će nam zastati dah i boji dušu u ranojesenje boje anđela.

Slično kao Đavolja varoš kod nas, ali u mnogo većoj razmeri, ovi kameni stubovi se izdižu ka nebesima. Priroda je sa njima započela prelepu igru, a Grčki monasi – pustinjaci su ih doterali do savršenstva: spoj čoveka i prirode. Na vrhu ovih monolita sagradili su manastire koji im služe kao izolovana mesta za molitvu.

Od 6 aktivnih manastira, dva su naseljena kaluđericama koje su ih rekonstruisale posle nacističkog razaranja u Drugom Svetskom ratu: Sv. Stefan i Sv. Roussanou, a u ostalih 4 žive kaluđeri i monasi: Veliki Meterion, Varlam, Sv. Nikola i Sv. Trojstvo. Posle ispunjenog dana i obilaska manastira, meditacijom uz neverovatne predele, popodnevne aktivnosti nastavljamo odlaskom do fabrike maslinki – prilika je da se kupi hladno ceđeno maslinovo ulje i obiđe jedna od najčuvenijih radionica Ikona…

"Žena je izašla iz rebra muškarca, a ne iz nogu da bude gažena, niti iz glave da bude nadmoćna.

Nego sa boka da bude jednaka, ispod ruke da bude zaštićena, i blizu srca da bude voljena."

2 Days in Paris

2 Days in Paris (2007) movie by Julie Delpy

Julie Delpy wrote, directed, edited, produced, composed music for it, sings and stars in this less romantic, more wicked and very personal movie. (NY Times article)

Cast & Set

Ms. Delpy cast her own parents, the actors Albert Delpy and Marie Pillet, to play her on-screen parents. Her ex-boyfriend Adam Goldberg plays her character’s boyfriend. Even her real-life cat, Max, plays Marion’s pet, Jean-Luc. Scenes from the film were shot on the family compound in Paris where Ms. Delpy keeps a studio above her parents’ apartment.

“Meeting someone you love is so rare,” Ms. Delpy said, “and finding someone you can communicate with — even if sometimes it’s uncomfortable — that you have to make an effort to make it work. I personally have had a life of going from one man to another, and I just don’t want to do that anymore. So this film is — well, my friend called it ‘The Last Temptation of Julie.’ ”

Quotes

“It always fascinated me how people go from loving you madly to nothing at all, nothing. It hurts so much. When I feel someone is going to leave me, I have a tendency to break up first before I get to hear the whole thing. Here it is. One more, one less. Another wasted love story. I really love this one. When I think that its over, that I’ll never see him again like this… well yes, I’ll bump into him, we’ll meet our new boyfriend and girlfriend, act as if we had never been together, then we’ll slowly think of each other less and less until we forget each other completely. Almost. Always the same for me. Break up, break down. Drunk up, fool around. Meet one guy, then another, fuck around. Forget the one and only. Then after a few months of total emptiness start again to look for true love, desperately look everywhere and after two years of loneliness meet a new love and swear it is the one, until that one is gone as well. There’s a moment in life where you can’t recover any more from another break-up. And even if this person bugs you sixty percent of the time, well you still can’t live without him. And even if he wakes you up every day by sneezing right in your face, well you love his sneezes more than anyone else’s kisses. ”

— Marion, 2 Days in Paris

IKEA made in China

A Chi­nese store named “11 Fur­ni­ture” is one giant 10,000 square meter copy­cat. It has taken the brand design of the Swedish fur­ni­ture giant IKEA from the color scheme down to its small free pencils. The four-​​storey out­let is located in the dis­trict of Kun­ming City in south­west China, reports Reuters.

The one big dif­fer­ence is that 11 Fur­ni­ture sells made-​​to-​​order prod­ucts rather than flat-​​packed do-​​it-​​yourself furniture.
