Umbrella
This Brazilian animated short was inspired by true events. It is the story of Joseph, a boy who lives in an orphanage and dreams of having a yellow umbrella. It tugs at the heartstrings.

Kunststük - The Facades Stand Alone
In the past, the faux facades were rare and temporary interventions in urban spaces, but today they have become a part of the city landscape, only being changed from time to time. - Olya Pegova
In Russia, fabric nets used to hide ongoing renovation work on buildings are often printed with patterns which portray the buildings behind them. Artist Olya Pegova sees them as stand-alone architectural objects in a limited timeframe. Her photo series Kunststük — German for “sleight of hand” or “hocus pocus” — looks at these printed buildings appearing on netting and draped over Russia’s real structures. She has eliminated the real backgrounds and lets the facades stand on their own.
A Coffee Table Fit For Caligula
Once part of the dance floor on one of Roman Emperor Caligula’s pleasure ships, a marble mosaic was recovered from the depths of Lake Nemi in the 1930s, only to disappear again. It resurfaced in 2013 as a coffee table in a Manhattan apartment.
Polite Baggage
If only cars on roads were as courteous as the suitcases at Changi Airport in Singapore.

Paper Cuts
Paper cuts are so painful because at a microscopic level paper is quite rough. A knife makes a straight cut, but paper acts like a saw blade and does more damage to nerve endings. Paper also leaves behind tiny fibres, irritating the wound even more https://t.co/R0Qb7Fihe4 pic.twitter.com/9MFuZFsDHJ
