Daisugi – Ancient Japanese sustainable forestry technique allows for lumber production without lowering trees


Originally invented by the people of the region of Kitayama, the tactic was wont to solve the matter of shortage of seedlings. Daisugi may be a Japanese forestry 


technique where specially planted cedar trees are pruned heavily. like giant bonsai, to supply “shoots” that become perfectly uniform, straight and completely knot free lumber. The shoots are carefully and gently pruned by hand every two years leaving only the highest boughs, allowing them to grow straight. Harvesting takes 20 years and old “tree stock” can get older to 100 shoots at a time

Do you know why some chicks are placed with the elephant in the cage when transported by plane

Image
 When an elephant is placed in a plane to move it  one place to another, some "chicks", meaning young chickens, are placed with it in the cage. Indeed, chicks are placed in the elephant's cage while being transported on the plane for fear of the weight of the plane being disturbed or worse.

How Ferrari will look like in the future?

Image
The Ferrari Millennio Concept is a design study of a futuristic electric vehicle that proposes a new aesthetic approach inspired by the architecture world. The author is Marko Petrovic from Serbia. With his Millenio Concept, Marko Petrovic, who completed the Master in transportation design at Milan-based Domus Academy in 2010, proposes a vision for a new aesthetics in automotive design. As he explains, while the technological aspects of cars are rapidly changing, the evolution of the visual design languages appears much slower. Taking inspiration from the architecture field, where new projects often push the boundaries of possible, Marko envisions an approach based on the use of different shapes, optical illusions (with materials and colors) and complex forms, combined in a balanced and proportioned whole – almost a “mechanical” version of the human body. With the Ferrari Millenio he applies these principles to an extreme electric sportscar eq...
