Description:
In the second-most populated metropolis in Switzerland, this chalet-style house dating to the early 1900s offers a quiet refuge from the commotion of city life. Within the Conches residential neighborhood on the outskirts of Geneva, the nearly 2.5-acre forested property is located just five minutes from the city center. This 1910 chalet was built in the traditional style by the Spring Frères company for the original owner, who was inspired by the Swiss National Exhibitions.<br/><br/>The home, officially recognized by the city for its national significance, underwent a renovation about a decade ago with the addition of a contemporary extension and subterranean garage. The historical section of the house, kitchen ceiling beams and staircase are preserved, while everything else is renovated and new. The four levels contain more than 7,500 square feet of living space, and feature breathtaking views of Mont Salève.<br/><br/>Read the full story:<br/>https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbes-global-properties/2024/02/15/historic-chalet-in-geneva-is-a-hushed-retreat-for-modern-living/<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.

_worlds-first-jet-powered-amish-buggy.webp "AN AMISH BUGGY that would normally be drawn by horses has been fitted with a turbo jet engine. “It’s like oil and water, they should not go together,” jokes its creator Chad Clark. The outrageous project, built by Chad Clark and Mike Monter of Millersburg, Ohio was originally meant to be something very different. “Mike and I were at our local county fair, I mentioned it would be really cool to build a turbine-powered four-wheel drive pulling truck,” Chad explained. But the auction description had misrepresented the engine as a turbo shaft engine. “I went home that night, found an engine online and bought it but didn’t realise it was not turboshaft, it was turbojet only,” Chad remembers. They ended up having to use a much lighter vehicle instead of the original truck. “We live in the Amish capital of the world so we figured an Amish buggy would be perfect,” Chad said. Co-creator Mike Monter told Future Studios Cars: “He called me up, said we’re not doing a pulling truck anymore, we’re doing an Amish buggy – seemed natural.” The build and modifications cost around $30,000 and took roughly 700 hours of labour to complete: “Many all-nighters,” Chad said. When out in public, people struggle to believe the bizarre creation actually works. “When people see the Thunder Buggy they can’t believe their eyes and the first question is, does it really move? Yes it does,” explained Chad. Traditionally, these buggies would have been moved by horses so this particular one is far from conventional. “The buggy is not designed to take 100 feet of electrical wiring, fuel tanks and a jet engine,” Chad admitted. With a top speed of 65 miles per hour before the wheels start shaking, this exhibition-only vehicle was not built for speed: “It’s a really simple engine design, it’s some pretty awesome engineering from back in the 40s,” explained Chad.")

_agent-of-fate-is-a-collaborative-action-movie-where-everyone-at-the-table-gets-a-turn-to-perform-and-direct.webp "☕If you want to support the channel: https://ko-fi.com/rollthedices<br/>❤️ To support the project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thedreadofnight/agents-of-fate/description<br/>⭐ Website: https://fabletopproductions.com/<br/><br/>Agents of Fate is a role-playing board game that sees you and your friends taking the role of action movie archetypes competing to be the main character and complete your set of challenges before the rest of the party. In Agents of Fate, the players work together to direct AND perform a heist flick, superspy thriller, crime drama, or summer blockbuster! <br/><br/>Our mechanics don’t slow you down with crunching numbers or hold you to strict, realistic simulations: the aim is to recreate the over-the-top stunts and breakneck choreography of such films as The Raid: Redemption, Bullet Train, and the John Wick saga. We also aim to force you to think on your feet and make things up as you go, providing tools for retroactive storytelling and rewriting the scenario a la Glass Onion and Everything Everywhere All At Once. The rules are light enough to be pick-up-and-play, and loose enough for a group to sit down and throw quick counters, shaky explanations, and ad hoc trump cards back and forth for a fun one-shot. <br/><br/>The storytelling method employed in Agents of Fate cares just as much about the “negative space” in the narrative as the things the players have already portrayed “on-screen”. If there’s ever a moment where the details haven’t been explicitly nailed down, players can cash in one of a pre-determined about of Flashbacks to go back and change things around to their own benefit: anything from smuggling in a piece of crucial gear, to stealing a MacGuffin from another player while they were distracted, to inventing a relationship with another character from whole cloth. If you don’t have an ace up your sleeve, or if you think a certain twist would recontextualize the story’s events in a compelling way, just make it up on the spot!")
