History Lesson! #1

In 1919 the FEINBLOOM brothers from Rochester, Abe and Bill, founded the KNICKERBOCKER KNITTING COMPANY . Their main goal was to provide training material to boot camps (and mainly socks). After a day to day watching of military practice, the brothers came up with a revolutionary item, the infamous sweatshirt. The products spread like wildfire across U.S colleges. The « Grey marl » and the brand CHAMPION were born.
Few years later they created the hooded sweatshirt and the zip one for Football purpose. Then, they struck again with the mesh that were soon used for basket ball throwbacks in 1938. All the major events of modern sport garment are part of CHAMPION timeline. When we consider the  place of sportswear into our culture, we can only conclude that Champion is the grandfather of streetwear. Text by APOLLO CREED

Monkey’s Brain controls Robot….

Researchers at Duke University Medical Center have used a monkey’s brain activity to control a robot on the other side of the globe.In what researchers tout as a first-of-its-kind experiment, monkeys’ thoughts controlled the walking patterns of a robot in Japan.

“They can walk in complete synchronization,” said Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, who also is the Anne W. Deane Professor of Neuroscience at Duke. “The most stunning finding is that when we stopped the treadmill and the monkey ceased to move its legs, it was able to sustain the locomotion of the robot for a few minutes — just by thinking — using only the visual feedback of the robot in Japan.”

Martin Luther King Jr.

He loved us so much!  

I may be able to speak the languages of human beings and even of angels, but if I have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell. I may have the gift of inspired preaching; I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets; I may have the faith needed to move mountains-but if I have no love, I am nothing. I may give away everything I have, and even give up my body to be burned-but if I have no love, this does me no good.

~1 Corinthians 13:1-13
