The German engineering firm ThyssenKrupp
first announced the idea of a maglev elevator way back in 2014 to a
mixture of excitement and disbelief. Now, three years on, it has finally
performed its first public test of the technology. “MULTI” is a
rope-less horizontal-vertical system that is coming to the real world at
an 8070 ft high test tower in Rottweil, Germany. ThyssenKrupp’s technology allows multiple elevator cabins to run in a
loop. All it needs is a magnetic levitation to cycle not just one, but
multiple cars through a building’s shaft system. The test tower boasts
12 test shafts, with cars that can travel as rapidly as 59 feet per
second. The new system is reportedly almost five times more expensive than
conventional elevators, so adoption of the new design could take a
while. But ThyssenKrupp already has its first customer — The Edge by OVG Real Estate. The “MULTI” system will be installed in its East Side Tower in Berlin, which could be finished by 2019. (hypebeast)

expands up to 256GB, and runs Android 6.0. It sports a 96.6mm display
for easy viewing of texts, pictures, and videos, and has a larger

said the phone has an improved widget that allows users to view their

configure the size of fonts and app icons, and the phone has 15
ringtones. It will come in 3G and 4G LTE versions.

Rado True Stratum Limited Edition
Rado True Stratum, limited to 1,001 pieces, arose
from a collaboration with Austrian designer Rainer Mutsch. It has as its
signature feature a concave dial with a three-dimensional,
step-structured surface and a slightly raised, oblong plate with a
yellow-printed Rado logo just right of the center. Matte rhodium-colored
hour and minute hands tell the time while a yellow central seconds hand
adds a splash of color to the mostly monochrome overall look. A large,
perfectly centered black dot, metallized on the underside of the
sapphire crystal, casts a shadow over the dial, adding to its sense of
depth. Inside the 40-mm-diameter monobloc ceramic case beats the automatic ETA
Caliber C07.611, with 25 jewels and an 80-hour power reserve, which is
partially visible through a small, oblong window in the caseback that
echoes the shape of the logo plate on the dial. The engraved, stepped
pattern of the caseback, here also made of PVD-coated titanium, also
continues the motif on the dial. The crown and bracelet are made of
black high-tech ceramic. The price: $2,200.

Toshihiko Hosaka's Incredible Sand Sculptures
Toshihiko
Hosaka
began making sand sculptures in art school and has been using beaches
and sand boxes as his canvas for almost 20 years. His work defies what
we typically think of as sand art as he sculpts and carves the loose,
granular substance as if it were some malleable form of clay. There is
no core, mold or adhesive ever used throughout the process:
just sand. The only trick Hosaka uses (and this is commonly accepted) is
a hardening spray applied to his sculpture only after it’s been
completed, in order to prevent wind and sun from eroding it for a few
days. Hosaka competed in the Fulong International Sand Sculpture Art
Festival
along with 22 other international professional sand sculptors. The
theme for the contest was “Hero” and Hosaka spent 3 days sculpting a
figure of Musashi Miyamoto, which was awarded 1st prize on May 6th.
Hosaka depicted the 16th century expert Japanese swordsman seated down
in a calm position, sword tucked under his belt. (thisiscolossal)
