Wikipedia: The Golden Buddha, officially titled Phra Phuttha Maha Suwanna Patimakon, commonly known in Thai as Phra Sukhothai Traimit, is a gold Maravijaya Attitude seated Buddharupa statue, with a weight of 5.5 tons (5,500 kilograms). It is located in the temple of Wat Traimit, Bangkok, Thailand. At one point in its history the statue was covered with a layer of stucco and colored glass to conceal its true value, and it remained in this condition for almost 200 years, ending up as what was then a pagoda of minor significance. During relocation of the statue in 1955, the plaster was chipped off and the gold revealed.
The origins of this statue are uncertain. It is made in the Sukhothai Dynasty style of the 13th–14th centuries, though it could have been made after that time.
At US$1,400 per troy ounce, the gold in the statue (18 karat) is estimated to be worth 250 million dollars. The body of the statue is 40% pure, the volume from the chin to the forehead is 80% pure, and the hair and the topknot, weighing 45 kg, are 99% pure gold.

Will you be solids or stripes with this new pool table from BackBone. The Neon Pool Table not at Fameshed is amazing. With a few color options and poses with balls and the table and without. It is totally unique. With plenty of playing, pg, cuddle, singles, and adult poses to choose from. With an over the table light and FunnyBone number ten that reminds me of a certain actor... I think we all have an idea who it might be. If that's not enough this month BackBone's gift is the pool rack on the back wall that comes in four amazing colors. So stop in at Fameshed and join BackBone's group. I promise your going to love the Neon Pool Table as much as I do.

In den 1930er Jahren waren die von Bentley in Derby gebauten „leise Sportwagen“ niedriger und schlanker geworden. So wurde 1933 der Künstler Charles Sykes, der Designer des Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy, beauftragt, ein neues Maskottchen zu entwerfen.
Sykes entwarf einen einzelnen Flügel mit einem nach vorne geneigten „B“ im Art-Deco-Stil, mit Facetten, die es dem „B“ ermöglichten, von beiden Seiten betrachtet richtig zu lesen. Der einzelne Flügel war jedoch nicht beliebt, also wurde das Design geändert, um ein Flügelpaar zu zeigen.
Ein alternatives nach hinten geneigtes Flying B war auch für Overdrive-Bentleys der Serien MR und MX erhältlich, um ihren sportlichen Charakter zu unterstreichen. Die Besitzer mussten daran denken, diese Maskottchen seitwärts zu drehen, bevor sie die Motorhaube öffnen, oder riskieren, die Karosserie zu verbeulen.
Die Rückkehr des Flying B
Nach dem Krieg erschien eine kleinere Version des zweiflügeligen Flying B-Maskottchens bis in die 1970er Jahre auf den in Crewe gebauten Bentleys, als es aufgrund von Fußgängerschutzgesetzen zurückgezogen wurde, die auffällige solide Ornamente verbot.
Im Jahr 2006 feierte der Flying B dank eines Mechanismus, der ihn vollständig einfahrbar machte, ein triumphales Comeback. Es wurde auf dem Azure, Arnage und Brooklands angeboten und ist noch heute auf dem Mulsanne erhältlich.
Sondereditionen des Flying B-Maskottchens wurden von Bentleys Mulliner-Division für Modelle in limitierter Auflage angeboten, darunter eine dunkel getönte Version und sogar ein Flying B in Gold.
My homeland Northwest Germany is poor in mountains and rocks, so the only exception has been a very popular and even mystic place for centuries. We took advantage of the nice Summer weather to visit the Externsteine on Sunday.
The Externsteine belong to the Teutoburger Wald and are a natural outcropping of five sandstone pillars, the tallest of which is 37 mtr high and form a wall of several hundred metres in length, in a region that is otherwise largely devoid of rocks. The pillars have been modified and decorated by humans over the centuries. The place has been an important location for religion and spiritual activities throughout history. In warm evening light the beauty performs perfectly.

The exhibition initiatives at the Reggia di Venaria extend internationally with the proposal of new artistic languages and expressions by Anthony McCall, a British artist known for his solid-light installations.
His “light sculptures” consist of spectacular flat, curved, and conical light beams that define volumes. Like physical blades, they move through darkened spaces, directly engaging visitors in experiences that expand upon and surpass traditional artistic cinema performances.
The event-exhibition features some of the English artist's most significant installations.

Le iniziative espositive della Reggia di Venaria spaziano in campo internazionale con la proposta dei nuovi linguaggi ed espressioni artistiche di Anthony McCall, artista britannico noto per le sue installazioni a luce solida.
Le sue “sculture luminose” consistono in scenografici fasci di luce piani, curvi e conici tesi a delineare volumi che, come lame fisiche, percorrono spazi oscurati coinvolgendo direttamente il visitatore in esperienze che espandono e superano le tradizionali performance del cinema artistico.
La mostra-evento propone alcune delle più significative installazioni dell’artista inglese.
