Invisible artist
Look carefully. A little closer. This is a portrait of a man trying to blend beautifully into the background.
Whether lurking next to a telephone box or standing to attention at a cannon, Liu Bolin has made an art of becoming the invisible man.
The Chinese artist is creating more than just startling images with his works.Standing silently in front of his chosen scene, in locations all around the world, the 36-year-old uses himself as a blank canvas.
Then, with a little help from an assistant, he paints his body to merge as seamlessly as possible with what is behind him.Liu said he wanted to show how city surroundings affected people living in them.
He added that the inspiration behind his work was a sense of not fitting in to modern society and was a silent protest against the persecution of artists.
He said: 'Some people call me the invisible man, but for me it's what is not seen in a picture which is really what tells the story.Liu's art credentials were formed after he graduated from the prestigious Sculpture Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts in China.
He said his work requires a lot of patience with him having to pose and work on his photographs for more than ten hours at a time to get it just right.
'My job is to choose a good background where I want to be "disappeared", and then stand there unmoved until a design has been painted on me,' he said.

120-Zipper Dress
This convertible dress design by Sebastian Errazuriz is nothing short of stunning in any of its possible stylistic configurations. The wearer can simply zip and unzip along any of the horizontal zipper lines to convert their clothing in a matter of seconds.What might be most remarkable about this design is how quickly it can shift from elegant to sexy, a full-length, single-piece dress one could potentially wear to work into a skimpy, short-cut, two-piece number that could put some bikinis to shame. In between there are any number of other options for shortening the top or bottom or even leaving some zippers partly on and partly off.Despite the obvious benefits in terms of variable style, temperature and so on there are some clear drawbacks to this design as well. How much cold metal can you, after all, take on your skin? And do you really want to give any passerby 120 ways to undress you in the blink of an eye.

حذر فيلم أمريكي "وثائقي - إحصائي" الدول الأوروبية من قيام دولة إسلامية على أراضيهم، بحلول عام 2016م، وذلك على الموقع الشهير "يوتيوب"
وأشار الفيلم إلى أن الإسلام يزحف بشدة من خلال الهجرة، في الوقت الذي تتراجع فيه معدلات التكاثر بين الأوروبيين، وهو الأمر الذي يجعل الإسلام المسيطر على العالم خلال خمسة أعوام
وكانت صحيفة "ذا بوليتان" الأمريكية، قد نشرت في وقت سابق، مقالًا للكاتب الأمريكي "هيرب دنينبيرج"، قال فيه: "إن الهيمنة الإسلامية سوف تغزو الولايات المتحدة بعد أوروبا، باعتبارها الهدف النهائي للمسلمين".
وحاول في المقال أن يحذر مما أسماه بـ"الغزو الإسلامي" لأوروبا، قائلًا: "إن هدف المسلمين حاليًا ربما يقتصر على النيل من "إسرائيل"، ولكن هدفهم الأساسي يتمثل في السيطرة على أوروبا"
وطبقًا للأبحاث؛ حتى تستطيع أية حضارة أن تستمر أكثر من 25 عامًا، يجب أن يكون لها معدل تكاثر سكاني بمقدار 2.11، وهو ما لم يحدث في أي من الدول الأوروبية، وبالتالي فإن الحضارة الأوروبية ستنهار
ورغم أن معدلات تكاثر الأوروبيين تبلغ 1.48 إلا أن عدد السكان لا ينخفض، والسبب هو "الهجرة الإسلامية"، فمنطقة مثل فرنسا الجنوبية التي كانت أكثر مناطق أوروبا ازدحامًا بالكنائس أصبح عدد المساجد فيها يفوق الكنائس، بل وبحسب الإحصائيات فإنه في عام 2027م، سيكون من بين كل 5 فرنسيين مسلم وخلال 39 عامًا فقط ستصبح فرنسا جمهورية إسلامية
