Stranger & Stranger wine packaging delivers character and creative flair in a new series of wine label designs. These decorative paper sleeves wrap around wine bottles in a fashion inspired by prohibition-era packaging. Various ornate sleeves display a broad range of subjects spanning from quotes to recipes to vintage-style artwork. Unique packaging serves as a teaser for the consumer and lures them in to investigate what kind of wine is in the bottle beneath. Inspiration for Stranger & Stranger wrapping comes from Truett Hurst‘s No.13 wine. Each package maintains a distinct and elegant design which inevitably catches a second-glance from fine wine shoppers.

Biggest Lies Ever Told By Major Advertisers

Advertising doesn’t have a reputation for being the most honest profession. While most people know that banner ads from companies you’ve never heard of that promise to melt away “20 pounds in a week, no exercise required!” should be taken with a grain of salt, some huge and highly respected brands are also guilty of telling their consumers major lies to make sales. You’d have to be pretty dumb to believe some of them. Skechers once claimed that by simply putting on a pair of their shoes you’d magically get buns of steel. Others went so far as to cite fake studies to prove their false selling points.

Works of Vladimir Nalimov are difficult to attribute to any particular type of carving, as they are in a unique, original technique honed over the years. Works are not cut from a single piece, they are compositions of individual, perfectly adjusted to each other, components of various types of wood (birch, elm, aspen, mahogany, etc.). The author himself calls his work miniatures of wood, and visitors to the exhibitions often add to this definition the word "jewelry" ....

News from Chernobyl

In 1986, a gigantic cloud of radioactive material burst from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in the Ukraine, marking what has so far been the world’s worst nuclear power disaster. Over 100,000 people were quickly evacuated from the area around the facility, leaving behind everything and making an instant ghost town of Pripyat where most of the workers lived. The ground zero of the meltdown, the Chernobyl reactor, was covered with a hastily-built shelter meant only to last about 30 years. A massive new structure is being constructed in its place that will allow for the dismantling of the reactor and the removal of deadly radioactive waste that still contaminates the site. The shelter, shaped like a gargantuan Quonset hut, will be 257 meters by 150 meters (843 feet by 492 feet) when completed and at its apex will be higher than the Statue of Liberty.
