Funky socks to welcome a sunny summer!!
The earliest sock models were
made from animal skins
wrapped around the foot and
tied at the ankles. 500 years
later, socks became a symbol of
wealth among the nobility. The
modern sock is knitted, they are
designed to reduce resistance
between the foot and footwear,
protect footwear, provide comfort, be fashionable, and keep
the feet warm. In cold environments, socks help retain or remove the moisture of the foot,
minimizing the risk of frostbite.
Now, other than as a basic thing
when you wear sneakers, loafers
and etc, you are out from the
track if you don’t have a colourful socks, which have recently
become popular among the fashion-conscious. With the ability to
be mixed and matched in seemingly unlimited combinations,
these socks with character open
up new and exciting fashion possibilities. Coloured socks can also
be given a particular significance
or meaning and the most important thing, colorful is what
we should bring to the dull
world.
STREET FASHION- THE Girl ON THE STREET
Girls on the STREET
Street fashion is fashion that is considered to have emerged not from studios, but from
the grassroots, girls not necessary to wear a dress, skirt or anything very feminine, the
core of street fashion is not to show the public how lady you are but now to show the
public your attitude, your freedom to choose the style they want.
For this sunny summer, girl in the street of urban cities usually choose a tee with colorful drawings or basic tee with a pair of boyfriend jean, waist cut short jean or slim fit
long jean and even for leggings, it is no more a dull black or skin color, now it cans be
colorful and flowery , shows your lively!
Two popular Street Style– Yuppie + Greaser
Yuppie (short for "young urban professional")is a term that refers to a member of the upper
middle class or upper class in their 20s or 30s. It first came into use in the early 1980s. the term
can be used to describe anyone who will pretty much spend time on their appearance and in
20th century, they will wear business suit and mix with casual style khaki, pants and a loafers or
leather shoes. Contractively, Greasers were a youth subculture that originated in the 1950s
among teenagers in north-eastern and southern United States. Rock and roll music was a major
part of the culture, and styles were influenced by the two main figures like Marlon Brando
and James Dean. In the 1950s, 1960s, these youths were also known as "hoods". This may be due
to the fact that the style was more popular in working class neighbourhoods that had higher
crime rates than upper-class neighbourhoods. Clothing usually worn by greasers included fitted T
-shirts ; ringer T-shirts; Italian knit shirts; Baseball shirts; bowling shirts; "Daddy-O"-style shirts;
denim jackets; leather jackets; black or blue jeans (with rolled-up cuffs anywhere from one to
four inches), baggy cotton twill work trousers, black leather pants or vests, bomber jackets, letterman jackets, tank tops, khaki pants and suits. Common accessories included bandannas; black
leather gloves; fedoras; motorcycle helmets; vintage leather caps; stingy-brim hats; flat caps and
chain wallets. Common footwear included motorcycle boots, such as harness boots or engineer
boots; army boots; winkle pickers; brothel creepers; cowboy boots and Converse Chuck Taylor
All-Stars.
X game, a sport that challenge your limit
Vert skating, (inline skates or roller skates) was included in the first XGames in 1995, on a vert ramp, a half-pipe with some vertical in it
usually between 6in to 24in.
The purpose of vert skating is to ride higher than the coping (which is
the metal pipe on top of the ramp) and perform spins or flips. The
intent of the skater is to build speed until they are of sufficient height
above the edge of the ramp to perform various aerial acrobatics.
In competitions, skaters often have less than a minute, to impress the
judges by landing numerous and difficult tricks, having a good flow
and consistency, having creativity with the routine and most importantly having a good style.
VERT SKATING ASIA STAR-YATSUTOKO BROTHERS

than 15 professional vert skaters attending competitions.

KODAK MANIAC-JUSTIN QIAN in Singapore League
They are the one that catch every exciting moment in a match, no matter it is a
goal, a save or an assist, they make the moment live forever, let’s understand how a
sports photographer works from Mr Justin Qian!-The Kodak Maniac in Singapore
League
M=Zone M
M: What sort of gear and other tools that you will bring with you to the games you
shoot at?
A Canon 5D Mark III, an wide angle lens (Canon 24mm f/1.4 L II) to cover the team
photo and gallery shot, a telephoto lens (Canon 300mm f/2.8 IS L II) for the actions.
Flash is optional as it is forbidden on the grass of Jalan Besar Stadium! A Gizto monopod attached with a Wimberley Sidekick Gimbal Head is always handy for a 90 or
even 120 munities shot and nothing important than
my favourite foldable stool with a max load of 120kg.
(WOW! He seems like carrying a canon..)
M: Can you describe your workflow during SL?
Slot a high speed CF card and an SD card (both high
speed of course) into the camera. Record the raw file
into the CF and jpg preview file into SD card.
Arrive in the stadium half an hour or 45 minutes
early to feed myself and enter the stadium through
the media gate, 20 minutes before the game.
Pick a point that and set up the gear, test white balance, ISO, focusing mode and do
a metering for the action shots. Switch the shoot mode to M then well prepared for
the 90 mins
The SD card will then passed to the media (normally the football association of Singapore) . The jpg files will be used for news publishing and the editing of the photos
will be based on the raw files.
M: How frequently would you say you’re on the job? Which teams do you primarily
shoot?
It depends on my day time work load. I once shot 3 games a week! There is no particular team at this point of time but I have been with the Young Lions for the whole
2012 season and I have been in this line for a good 4 years.
M: What’s the most difficult part about shooting a game?
Patience. There could be a 89 minute boring game but you will never know if there is
a great saving or bicycle kick goal at the 90+ minutes injury time!
KODAK MANIAC-JUSTIN QIAN in Singapore League
M: Any incidents or losing or breaking gear during a game?
Never happened and never will. There are incidents that the players shoot the
ball directly in my direction 30 meters afar and I hold the ball like a goalkeeper!
I had been a goalkeeper in my university team!
M: What is your worst and best experience on the job?
It was a rainy night at Toa Payoh Stadium and it was Muslim Ramadan month
so the games were scheduled to start late. I had
camped at the wet pitch for two hours, waiting
for FA’s announcement whether the game will
actually take place. It was cancelled in the end
due to lightening! And the best one was I told
Louis Saha (the former Manchester United forward) to please move aside (as I wish to shoot
only Robbie Fowler in that picture). Call me an
ass but I am a hardcore KOP!
M: How do your images hit the wire so quickly?
I watched 1000 games before I took up
my camera and aim at the players. One
has to understand the football well to get
great shots. It is easier to get around with
a camera rather than to understand a
game. I really have to read the game to
always predict where the players and the
ball will go. ONLY with such prediction I
can beat the focusing and shutter lag and
manage the burst buffer for continuous
shot wisely!
M: For anyone trying to get into this type of photography, would
you say it’s worth it? Any advice for those interested in terms of
getting started?
Take it as a hobby and nothing more than that. You will enjoy the whole process only if you love football and photography. On the other hand, it is a relatively expensive hobby, think twice before you start!
The born of WORLD CUP
The FIFA World Cup, often simply the World Cup, is an international association
football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA),
Every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946
when it was not held because of the Second World War.
The best of the best soccer players of 32 nation teams competing for the title at
venues within the host nation(s) over a period of about a month; this phase is
often called the World Cup Finals.
Last world cup was held in South Africa on 2010 and the champion are Spain.
Will one of the 32 teams kick the ass of Spain out from the crown title, let’s see!!
Guys, KEEP CALM & CARRY ON
Brazil-Host of WORLD CUP 2014
Brazil i/brəˈzɪl/ (Portuguese: Brasil, IPA: [bɾaˈziw][8]), officially the Federative
Republic of Brazil is the largest country in both South America and the Latin
American region. It is the world's fifth largest country, both by geographical
area and by population.
The Brazil national football team (Portuguese: Seleção Brasileira) represents Brazil in international men's football. Brazil is the most successful national
football team in the history of the FIFA World Cup, with five championships: 1958,1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002. You might be wondering why all the Brazilian could be so great in soccer and turn soccer into the beautiful game. Every
Sunday, across this gigantic nation of rain forests and legendary beaches,
groups of kids flock to makeshift pitches like this one to play impromptu tournaments where everyone’s welcome. Basically, you keep going with the soccer
(sometimes is a sock that filled with newspaper) till you lose. The skill and passion even these young amateurs show give a sense of why Brazil is still the
world’s greatest footballing nation.

STAGES for PLAYERs of WORLD CUP
Brazil has spent £6.5bn on the World Cup, “It’s a lot of money,” says a rather down
at heel Brazilian man in shorts, sat on the steps down to the beach, who repeatedly
insists, despite protestations, that his name is “Ronaldo Pele”. “We don’t have the
money you know. But, you know, what if we win?”. Whatever it is, we must appreciate what the Brazilian had prepared and brought to us, cherish every stage/stadium
that being built up.

History and description
Maracanã, officially called Estádio Mário Filho, was built to serve as the
flagship venue for the 1950 World Cup. It was meant to become the biggest football stadium in the world.
Construction began in August 1948 and was completed almost two years
later. Maracanã officially opened on 16 June 1950 with a friendly between
a selection of players from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
The stadium was officially renamed in 1966 following the death of Brazilian
journalist Mário Filho, but most people have kept referring to the stadium
as Maracanã.
Maracanã is scheduled to host a total of seven matches during the 2014
World Cup, including one quarter-final and the final.
Maracanã is owned by the state of Rio de Janeiro.
THE MASTER BEHIND PENANG STREET ART
The name "Penang" comes from the modern Malay name Pulau Pinang, which means "island of
the areca nut palm" (Areca catechu, family Palmae). The name Penang may refer either to the
island of Penang (Pulau Pinang) or the state of Penang (Negeri Pulau Pinang). Penang is often
known as "The Pearl of the Orient", "东方花园" (Garden of the East) and Pulau Pinang Pulau
Mutiara (Penang, Island of Pearls). Penang is charms as it embraces modernity while retaining
its traditions and old world charm. These are reflected in its harmonious multiracial populace
and well-preserved heritage buildings which led to George Town being accorded a listing as a
UNESCO World Cultural Heritage and since George Town Festival 2012, Ernest Zacharevic, a
young Lithuania-born artist who is "making a scene" on the streets of George Town, Penang.
This comes in the form of beautifully executed wall paintings, or murals, at selected streets in
the inner city.
Ernest Zacharevic's wall paintings in George Town include figure drawings and portraitures
that celebrate the exuberance of life in the inner city. They range from the pensive "Boy on a
Bike", the lively "Little Children on a Bicycle" to the whimsical "Little Boy with Pet Dinosaur".
So far six murals have been completed, with perhaps one more in the making. The project is
funded by George Town Festival. The process began with Zacharevic combing the city, looking
for suitable walls. After he has selected the walls to be painted, the Penang Island Municipal
Council (MPPP) contact and obtain a signed agreement from the property owner. Then he
starts working on his mural. In the process, he is generating much interest from passer-by traffic, becoming a welcoming sight in the city. As the project becomes increasingly popular, more
people started offering their walls.
