Micra Urban Crossover
Nissan Extrem: It’s a Micra Urban Crossover
October 23, 2012 By
The Nissan Extrem Concept has been revealed in Brazil as an urban crossover based on the Micra platform.
The Extrem is, say Nissan, an ‘Urban Rally Car’ designed to be a tough street fighter and penned by Nissan Design in San Diego specifically for the Brazilian market.
Based on the underpinnings of the Micra, the Extrem is 3850mm long and 1760mm wide and is, although it’s hard to judge in the photos, a chunk smaller than the Nissan’s current smallest crossover, the Juke.
Although the Extrem seems to be a mish-mash of Nissan styling cues it’s an appealing look; a proper little urban warrior on a smaller scale than usual, but is also has new elements – like the floating C-pillar and wraparound glass – that look new.
Power for the Extrem comes from Nissan’s DIG-T turbo 1.6 litre petrol engine and could be offered with a choice of FWD or 4WD with torque vectoring.
Nissan say the Extrem is just a concept, but with its funky looks and compact size it looks an ideal candidate to slip in below the Juke and boost sales of Nissan’s Micra range, which has been struggling.

Candice Swanepoel for Colcci Spring 2013: Summer Sexy and Surfer Cool at SPFW
SAO PAULO - While Colcci face and new mommy Alessandra Ambrosio was not in attendance this time around, a top model took her place at the Colcci show as the opening model on the runway. Like Ambrosio, that model was also a Victoria's Secret face. Candice Swanepoel started the show with a killer print peplum and crop top. She was followed by well-known Brazilian model Aline Weber in overalls with the same print. Besides the funky prints, there were also an explosion of mixed prints, bright colors, and sexy surfer appeal with blues relating to the sea and baggy looks that were both casual and glamorous.
Appearances: Candice Swanepoel, Aline Weber, Ana Claudia Michels, Barbara Fialho, Bruna Tenorio, Marcelia Freesz, Daiane Conterato, Debora Muller, Lais Ribeiro

On 13 October 2012, Shakira played a show in Baku, Azerbaijan (which was also her unborn child's first concert...). Here are some highlights. El 13 de Octubre de 2012, Shakira tuvo un show en Baku, Azerbaiyán (que fue el primer concierto de su hijo). Aquí hay una selección de los mejores momentos http://www.shakira.com
ΕΚΡΗΞΕΙΣ ΤΟΥ ΗΛΙΟΥ
Here’s a mesmerizing video from the folks over at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center’s visualization studio showing the Sun in a whole new light… well, a reprocessed light anyway.
Using what’s called a gradient filter, images of the Sun can be adjusted to highlight the intricate details of its dynamic atmosphere. Magnetic activity that’s invisible to human vision can be brought into view, showing the powerful forces in play within the Sun’s corona and helping researchers better understand how it affects space weather. (Plus they sure are pretty!)
Compiled into a video, these images reveal the hidden beauty — and power — of our home star in action.
