UK: Hollywood Directors Grab London Office Space

Film sets and office space are the peanut butter and jam of the entertainment business. Producers looking to save on their film costs will often use serviced office space as a make-shift film set. In recent news, Hollywood directors are approaching London developers to enquire about leasing temporary office space. Already a hotspot for foreign investors, UK office spaces are being snapped up like hotcakes. From safe investments to landing spots for the likes of Batman and James Bond, developers are cashing in on these innovative offers.

Basking in the spotlight for their panoramic views, their prime location to high-profile events like the Olympic Games and the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation and their structural benefits, Central London workplaces are adopting new open door policies to maximise profit intakes.

Lazarus Species - Back From The Dead

A Lazarus species is effectively a genus of creature that, just like Lazarus, has been raised from the dead. Sometimes species will appear extinct for a period for time only to resurface and prove that as Geoff Goldblum said in Jurassic Park, 'life, uh... finds a way.'

The Effects of Social Media on Mass Hysteria

When it comes to communication in today's techno-centric society, social media is taking over. Never before has it been easier to relay and receive messages to and from hundreds of people with just a few simple keystrokes. This convenience is arguably changing the way we develop and maintain relationships, which carries both positive and negative connotations. There is much debate over whether social media is bringing people closer together, or alienating people from true intimacy . . . but one thing there is no question over is the fact that social media makes it possible to spread information very rapidly. That's great when the information is constructive, but what of information that is inaccurate, misleading, loaded with emotional weight, or destructive in nature? Obviously, social media can have some major effects on mass hysteria. Read on to learn more about this alarming phenomenon:

Vertical Farms - The Solutions To Farming In The Future?

Dickson Despommier has been trying to change the world’s mind about farming for over a decade. This Columbia University professor insists that planting upwards is the way to feed the world in the future. While Despommier’s vertical farms were once seen as a novelty, since 2007 they’ve been attracting both attention from both the press and investors. The reasoning is simple: the population of this planet will surge to nine billion people, and feeding them will require at least double the food production available now.

Personification is one of the greatest tools for creativity in producing movies and television shows. The personification of electronics and cars has been repeated in various ways with some modern sentient car names and some nostalgic ones as well.

Going Back To The Future: Are We There Yet?

The Back to the Future film series is an undeniable pop culture staple, with perhaps the most popular instalment of the trilogy being the second. Starring Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd as protagonists Marty McFly and Doc Emmett Brown respectively, it saw the pair travel to the now not so distant future, specifically the 21st of October 2015... and now this date is fast approaching. The film was originally released in 1989 but set in 1985, leaving a good 30 year gap between Back to the Future Part II’s then and now. With each passing year, fans have mourned - perhaps even affectionately mocked - the inaccuracies of the film’s predictions. But exactly how bad are they, and does it look like we’ll manage to get anywhere near flying cars in the precious few years we have left? Well, let’s take a look...

Top 5 Embarrassing Adverts Starring Rock Stars

Rock stars are notoriously cool. Aside from their uncanny ability to score with chicks and earn their ‘money for nothing’ (it’s a Dire Straits reference...ask your mum!) the rock elite are also respected – unlike average folk – for their blatant disregard for social norms and rebellion from mainstream culture.

Imagine the disappointment for many then, when their favourite rock personas turn up on the telly in adverts for products that they would not usually dream of associating with these musical heroes. Here are the five most shameful rocker-starring TV advertisements...

Guide to Renewable Energy [Infographic]

While renewable energy is gaining momentum, the vast majority of people still get their power from non-renewable sources such as oil, coal and other fossil fuels. But the renewable energy sector is growing fast and it will be up to the next generation of researchers and business people to push sustainable energy to the forefront of the social and political agenda. There are several types of renewable energy, all with a huge amount of untapped potential. Solar, wind, biomass, hydrogen and geothermal power all harness more than enough energy to meet consumer needs. The tricky part is revamping the worldwide infrastructure and economic norms that currently set the energy agenda.

Makeup of the Ancient Egyptians - Healing and Hurting

What do most Americans look for in their cosmetics products these days? Do they put more weight on look rather than taking good care of their skin? The cosmetics industry is one that always tried to tell the mainstream masses (of mostly women these days) that their "fates depend on the way they look."

The ancient Egyptians took that to a whole other level, and incorporated the ancient Egyptian gods into the whole idea of wearing makeup.

Doctor Who And The Case Of The Lesser-Known Villains

Every science fiction series runs into a wall occasionally, and even Doctor Who has had its share of strange villains. While the Master and the Daleks are famous, one might assume that the Seeds of Doom haven't garnered quite as much fame as these illustrious monsters. 

However, that doesn't mean that fans shouldn't celebrate the lesser-known Doctor Who bad guys just as well. After all, they make the Cybermen look all the better.
