This 18th century dance has been performed from aristocratic balls to village celebrations, inspiring composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach and Frederic Chopin. It still figures prominently in big national occasions, pre-graduation balls and weddings. On Dec. 5, this living tradition was

The Borderlands movie came out last year and was largely met with derision, then indifference. What did the movie in? You’ll get a different answer depending on who you ask, but director Eli Roth thinks part of the issue was when it was made.

Switzerland's flag may be square, but its streets are dotted with roundabouts. About as ordinary as station clocks, every town has at least one. And since the public is often involved in designing these traffic circles, we have seen horrible things... Think horizontal steel pipes or piles of rock. But all is not lost, as the town of Lyss near Bern proves. Those who swing by will undoubtedly hit the latest roundabout. And given its decor, does it surprise that the KUFA Kreisel has gone viral?
