London Is Revolutionizing Its Underground Transit

The population in London has been rapidly growing for years, gaining over 100,000 people per year since 2001. With such a large population, there's an amplified need for reliable transportation. In London, residents primarily depend on the Underground (or the Tube), a system of rapid transit much like a subway. The London Underground caters to a majority of Greater London as well as other counties in the U.K. As the population continues to grow, transportation is expected to grow along with it. London has created a program that will not only improve the efficiency of traveling but also the satisfaction of the Underground passengers. London is introducing the new Tube, and the newly imagined design is expected to completely remodel the world of underground transportation.

Check Out How Well This Impressively Trained Dog Sabotages A Cooking Show

Youtube user Inosemarine and his pet dog are not quite ready to start their rounds on the cooking show circuit. Although the duo is well known across Japan, they are certainly not known for their cooking talents. Mari the Shiba Inu has been notoriously dubbed a "bad dog" by many of the Japanese media outlets. But, the media also recognizes that Mari has been trained to be naughty. Every moment in the pup's video is choreographed, practiced and executed with precision by Mari. The Shiba Inu is considered the oldest and smallest of Japan's six native dog breeds. Originally bred to flush out small game and birds, they are best known for their hunting skills, feisty spirits and alertness. Without proper training in their younger years, these dogs can become aggressive and are more difficult to train as they age.

This Is How You Ride A Custom Motorcycle

Imagine driving down the street and glancing in the rearview mirror to see one of the aliens from the "Predator" movie franchise coming up from behind. Although a situation like this might cause most people to take a second glance, others tend to grab their phones and record the craziness that they are seeing. The aliens are featured in five "Predator" movies, and yet the name of the alien race is never specifically identified. The names Yautja and Hish-qu-Ten have been used alternatively in the movies to describe the species. Known to be hunters with technological advancements that far exceed human capabilities, the aliens are scary characters. The design of the aliens was created by special effects makeup artist Stan Winston. His studio created all the physical effects for "Predator" and "Predator 2" including the body suit and the mechanical devices used for facial effects.

Homemade Doggy Wheelchairs Give Disabled Dogs A Chance To Run Again

After his dog, Mica, suffered a spinal injury in 2010, Dragan Dimitrijevic made her a wheelchair from spare parts. He used small wheels, plastic pipes and old belts to construct her wheelchair and Mica could not have been happier. Able to again play at the park with her dog friends and take walks with Dimitrijevic, Mica was acting like her old self in no time. Word of the wheelchair spread across the region and before long, Dimitrijevic was receiving orders from all over Serbia, as well as other Balkan countries. The computer programmer has since made 80 wheelchairs for pets in need and states that he has a "soft heart for dogs." It makes him happy to see the dogs able to do most of the things a normal dog can do. Dimitrijevic shares that each wheelchair is developed after consultation with the veterinarian and then completed to meet each animal's specific needs.

Didga The Skateboarding Cat Grinds The Rails At A Local Skate Park

Robert Dollwet hooked up his cat, Didga, with a GoPro camera and let her take to the skateparks. Didga is a skateboarding cat from Australia who was rescued by her owner, Dollwet. Dollwet has over 33 years experience in training animals and is most known for training the pets of Hollywood's stars. He now lives on the Gold Coast of Australia as an animal trainer. The animal trainer also maintains two YouTube channels that he updates frequently to offer training tips, as well as funny clips featuring his animals like Didga. Cats are fiercely intelligent animals but are known to be difficult to train at times. The inability to train a cat typically has very little to do with the cat's abilities and more to do with the human-cat interactions. Cats respond better to positive reinforcement more than any other training technique. They tend to respond to punishment with fear rather than obedience.

String Trio Does An Invigorating Classical Cover Of Avicii's "Wake Me Up"

Since 2010, the music trio, Simply Three, has been making the genre of classical crossover look easy. Simply Three is simply that, just three guys who play violin, cello and bass. They are Glen McDaniel on violin, Zack Clark on cello and Nicholas Villalobos on bass. Known for their covers of pop music as much (if not more) as their original songs, the trio have graced the stages of some of the United States' most heralded concert halls as well as shared the recording studio with some of pop's greats. Their cover of 2013's "Wake Me Up" by Swedish DJ and music producer Avicii is simply divine. The trio manages to incorporate their technical mastery into melodies already well known by the general public. This often results in a cover that is nearly as compelling as the initial release. Many of the artists covered by Simply Three have taken to social media to express how much they love the work.
