4D Technology

Have you heard there are new gadgets waiting for you at the cinema? Have you ever dreamed of being inside a film? THIS IS THE FUTURE!!!

4D cinemas are the latest addition to the film industry. It is a way of involving you not even with images that can not only make you feel the image jumping from the screen, but even making you feel how the scene smells. Moreover, you can feel the chairs vibrating.

With this new technology, a simple take off could be transformed into an almost ''magical'' experience. You would be able to smell the plains fuel burning in the engine, the speed and the shaking of the seats while taking off, the clouds and the birds floating in the sky, the fog and the rain splashing the glass...

Imagine that sensation.

Now that you have imagined the situation, you could be excited about going to a 4D cinema. However, these new technologies are not available for commercial cinemas. In Spain, it is still in project. The creator of this 4D tech is a Korean cinema chain which, after several successes with some well known titles such as Avatar, have opened 3 more 4D cinemas and exported the idea.

Mermaids

Hello bloggers:

There are many researches of the existence of mermaids, but are they real or is verything false? 

Mermaids are legendary aquatic creatures with the upper part of the body of a woman and a fish tail. The origin of mermaids can be found in the beliefs of early civilizations, who believed that life came from the sea. 

The legend says that Mermaids were creatures half female half bird. They were partners of Persephone, but she was kidnapped by Hades. As they couldn´t save her, Persephone’s mother turned them into half female, half fish, for revenge.

It is said that mermaids lived in Artemisia’s island and they have a melodic singing like birds, in addition they were really attractive and seductive which caught the sailors eye, who felt attracted and incited to hand over to the sea. After being cheated, they were eaten by mermaids.

When I think about mermaids I imagine them as very beautiful women with long and wavy hair and with a colorful tail. Nevertheless, when someone tries to prove the existence of mermaids they are always ugly or deformed.

Many people have said that they have seen a mermaid, so I am going to tell you some of these occurrences.

For instance in 1493 Christopher Columbus said to have seen three female forms on a Caribbean Island, but they were no as pretty as always perceived to be.

During World War II, Japanese soldiers claimed to have seen several mermaids on the shore of Kei Islands in Indonesia. They had human faces and limbs; they also had spikes on their heads and long fins. They claimed to have seen them swimming under water. After this, there were more sightings in this area.

A dead body of a mermaid was found in Marina Beach in 2005 after Tsunami hit the coastal state. It is said that the corpse is preserved in the Egmore museum.

But the most famous mermaid sighting was in Kiryat Yam in Israel in 2009. Several natives have claimed to have seen mermaids; so many tourists come near the coast trying to take a photo of one. As there was so much buzz, the mayor announced a prize of 1 million dollars to anyone who could prove that mermaids were real. 

In my opinion, mermaids exist but they are not as we think they are, they don’t want to be exposed so they don’t let themselves be seen. Now, do you really believe in them? Tell me your opinions in the comments down below.

See you, kisses.

Curiosities

Today I am going to talk about some curiosities of the human body. I have chosen certain things that I think are quite interesting.

Alright, I will start with sneezes. Do you hate when someone sneezes and does not cover his mouth? Yes, me too, so let me tell you something. Sneezes travel at 100mph, that is a good reason to cover your mouth.  And as well, this is the reason why you cannot sneeze with your eyes open. I have tried, it is impossible... 

Everybody has seen grandparents, I am sure. Have you noticed that some of them have quite big noses and ears? That is because they are continuously growing. However your eyes will be the same size for your entire life from the same moment in which you are born.

This curiosity is a bit bizarre. A human head can be conscious from 15 to 20 seconds after it has been severed. I could not believe it, I thought it only happened in films. I remember one chapter of The Simpsons in which this happened. At first I thought it didn't make sense, but now I think it is quite realistic. This happens because there is enough blood in the head to maintain it conscious for some seconds after it has been cut off.

My last curiosity is that it is impossible to tickle yourself. It is true, I have also tried it. This happens because your brain predicts what your hands are going to do so it does not react. However if someone else tickles you it will work because your brain is not prepared for that. 

Hipsters

Hi guys! Have you ever heard of the word hipster, well, you will probably have an small idea of what it is, you will have in mind those typical boys wearing big glasses, long beards, always hearing music with his i-phone while they drink Starbucks coffee. Okay, so this urban culture is now becoming very very popular amongst the young.

The word hipster first appeared a long time ago in the 20th century within the jazz music; this urban culture has a great relationship with the hippies and the indies. The hipsters is an extended group mostly in cities like New York, Chicago or San Francisco.

They are mostly intellectuals that show independent  thoughts and have a special attraction to the artistic world, they love independent cinema and unknown music bands (that probably nobody has never heard) mostly alternative rock. They are always trying to be original and different than everything, refusing the local brands and shops, interested in ecology, freedom and living in his own world. In conclusion, their principal hobbies are cinema; music, arts, photography, travelling and showing their opinions on social networks.

Now I´am going to talk about their estetic; their form of dressing don’t follow an specific line, they wear reuse or vintage clothes they find in retro stores and t- shirts with messages, symbols, animals,or of some music group.  Hipsters don’t wear any make up because they are in favour of natural beauty, moreover, they don’t even brush their hair because they refuse any type of  artifices.(something I like).

In my personal opinion, nowadays there are too many hipsters, or mainly people that want to be like them pretending to be something they are not, so its not really an original or different culture. It is also a great  irony to say they don’t follow any type of fashion when they really are the fashion.
