The three-storey Brand Centre had been a centrepiece of the F1 paddock since it first appeared back in 2007. It featured 13.5-metres of solar glass facade on the front and included kitchens, catering areas, meeting rooms, driver rooms, and office space for marketing and media staff. But as part of F1’s move to a more sustainable future, the huge logistics of transporting motorhomes on lorries around Europe has come under the spotlight. With teams evaluating how to reduce travelling costs and the carbon impact of everything they do, McLaren has decided to scale back its famous motorhome. Rather than start from scratch with an all-new structure, the team will refurbish and configure the Brand Centre for its return in a much reduced size. The new motorhome, which will be renamed, is set to appear for the first time at the Monaco Grand Prix. It will need just eight trucks to be transported, rather than the 17 that the Brand Centre required. Read Also: … [Read more...] about McLaren to downsize its iconic F1 motorhome

Robots, rappers, and rasslers: The most bizarre NFT projects yet
NFTs, aka non-fungible tokens , are all the rage right now. A way of storing artwork on the blockchain for fun and profit, it’s an attempt to create artificial scarcity in a world of endless digital reproducibility. The simplest way to think of an NFT is, essentially, as a digital autograph. While a piece of artwork in the real world could be endlessly copied, a genuine signature on that artwork is only authentic in the original version. As such, NFTs provide a way to sell ownership of a particular artwork online. With NFT mania running wild, there’s no shortage of unusual non-fungible projects coming out of the woodwork. Some, like Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s first tweet selling for $2.9 million as an NFT , are well known. But others — from robot-created artworks to collaborations with rap royalty — have not been quite so highly publicized. Here are four recent NFT projects likely to raise eyebrows (and, perhaps, some serious bank). NFTs created by robot artists Robots … [Read more...] about Robots, rappers, and rasslers: The most bizarre NFT projects yet
Adam and Christ: the priest at the origin and original priest
Kindly Share This Story: By Fr George Adimike From the rupture of Adam’s priesthood in Genesis, the exodus, in search of grace to make all things new, continues and reaches its destination in Jesus Christ. The new covenant, which revealed the fullness of grace and truth, Jesus the Christ of God (cf. Jn 1:14), also funded a new appreciation of the priesthood in its original essence. The search from Adam, the priest at the origin, to Christ, the original priest, traversed three typologies, none of which approximated the reality and originality of the priesthood of Christ. The patriarchal priesthood, the priesthood of Melchizedek and the Levitical priesthood represented by the figures of Abraham, Melchizedek and Aaron, functioned as types anticipating and pointing to the original (cf. Hebrews 7). The Jewish roots of the Christian priesthood spell an understanding of the priesthood that is continuity in discontinuity. Though Adam was the first high priest of the … [Read more...] about Adam and Christ: the priest at the origin and original priest

Wyatt Russell Has No Interest in Replacing Father Kurt as Snake Plissken
Wyatt Russell has no interest in taking over the role of Snake Plissken from his famous father Kurt. Since debuting in the MCU as John Walker in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier , Russell has become a bit of a household name with millions of fans watching him on Disney+ every week. Getting the role was also a full-circle moment for Russell, who began his acting career with a failed audition for the Steve Rogers version of Captain America. Many fans will know that Wyatt Russell is the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, and it's hard not to see the resemblance between father and son. This has led to some fans calling for the younger Russell to be cast in the rumored reboot of Escape from New York as the new Slake Plissken, the eyepatched action hero originally played by Kurt. For his part, Wyatt is unsure if anybody else would convincingly play Snake Plissken, but one thing he does know is that it definitely won't be him.
