Messi hit the winner last month at Levante to seal the title was at it again with a first-half quickfire double to make it another incredible goal haul for the little genius. Lionel Messi scores his 50th goal of the season at EibarGetty Images - Getty The home side took deserved lead on 20 minutes with through Barca loanee Marc Cucurella who punished Gerard Pique who failed to deal with a cross. But then the 31-year-old hit back with two goals in no time to put the Catalans ahead. Arturo Vidal's pass cut open Eibar's defence and Messi made no mistake sliding the ball past Marko Dmitrovic in goal. Barca took the lead moments later when it was Ivan Rakitic's turn to slide Messi in on goal to dink the ball over the onrushing Dmitrovic.

| Three-tiered Platforms
|
 Three-tiered Platforms is a minimal house located in Aichi, Japan, designed by ihrmk. The site is located on the hillside of a small mountain overlooking the city. It is bound by two roads on the east and west side with a level difference of 16m between the two sides. In this area, from the east which is the higher part of the mountain to the west, are a retaining wall and a front road, followed by a slope covered with trees, another retaining wall and a road at the foot of it.

| Apprenticeships are critical to America's future as a knowledge economy
|
 An exciting trend is emerging in the US workforce: over half a million workers are using apprenticeships to acquire valuable experience and a pathway to a steady job. They're earning money while learning critical, in-demand skills. In spite of this progress, a stigma remains. For generations, common wisdom has held that a college degree is the best path to professional success; apprenticeships have been considered a second-class option for less-desirable, blue-collar jobs. As teachers, workers, employers, and students, we must change that narrative and embrace apprenticeships as the path to the new-collar – or specialized skills-based – jobs of the… This story continues at The Next Web
