BMW's Vision Next 100 motorcycle is [virtual reality]

A motorcycle so safe you won't possibly need a helmet. But will it be fun, too?

So there's news and there's this...probably the most important announcement since... The universe...plus it's a stadium tour... Now as a life long DM fan I was only 9 when they did their last stadium tour.. This is a moment I thought I would never experience. If you have never experienced them live, you simply have not lived. And there's a new album to boot.

Capoeira Gains Home in DR Congo Building A Connection Between the Continent and the African Diaspora.

In a beautiful show of cultural exchange several hundred years in the making, the Brazilian fight-dance art of capoeira is finding a home in the Democratic Republic of Congo, all thanks to the efforts of Yannick N’salambo Walters.

A scientist by profession, Walters is a passionate and self-described fanatic of capoeira who shares his love of the dance by teaching underprivileged children in Kinshasa. Originally attracted to the dance because of its ancestral connection to his home country, Walters has taken capoeira to the streets of DR Congo’s capital city where it is fast gaining a large and dedicated following.

The development of capoeira by enslaved Africans from the former Central African Kongo Kingdom from a martial arts fighting skill, to a mock-battle game involving dance elements (so as to not be detected and punished by slave masters for engaging in activity relating to fighting) is a show of the ingenuity of the enslaved Africans who pioneered this art form and ultimately managed to preserve an important part of their culture.
