World on a Wire, one of the earliest productions to explore virtual reality and simulation theory, was made in 1973 as a two-part mini-series for television and adapted from Daniel F. Galouye’s novel Simulacron-3. Rainer Werner Fassbinder takes a satirical and surreal look at the world of the future in this work. Set in a virtual world simulation developed by a technology company, IKZ, the story revolves around the Simulacron computer project, designed to simulate a fully functional virtual reality with conscious inhabitants. When project leader Henry Vollmer mysteriously dies, his successor, Dr. Fred Stiller, begins to experience strange and inexplicable events. As these anomalies intensify, Stiller suspects that a hidden force may be behind it all.

In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
