Tsukimi said she has already produced more than 350 dolls
Doll town, Nagoro, Japan - 30 Mar 2015
FULL WORDS: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/si1b
A Japanese village has been replacing humans with life-sized dolls after death.
The doll population in Nagoro, Shikoku Island, now hugely outnumbers people in this isolated mountain village. A 67-year-old woman, Tsukimi Ayano, has spent years weaving more than 350 of these dolls to remember her once-flourishing community.
The lifeless figures now dwarf the 30 or so residents left in the village.

Pictures show area around Olympic Park still not finished
Just Days To Go: Pictures Show Russian Olympic City Not Ready
With just days to go until the start of the Sochi winter Olympics, these pictures suggest the city is not ready for the showcase event.
The shocking pictures by local journalist Alexander Valov depict the area around the Sochi Olympic Park in an unfinished state.
Documenting the progress of construction and infrastructure works while walking around the immediate area of the Olympic Park on 23 January, Mr Valov found numerous cases where he claims works had not been finished.
From his observations, he suggests that volunteer accommodation was still without electricity and sewage systems, pathways laid directly onto soil have already failed and have had to be hastily patched up, grass landscaping has been been laid incorrectly and dried up, litter and construction debris blight the area and open manholes on pathways are covered in flimsy wooden covers.
However Alexander suggests that an area he believes will be used by President Vladimir Putin has been prioritised: "It is natural for Putin to make the place where he will ape in front of video cameras and, of course, it is closed to mere mortals," he says.
Describing his tour, Alexander said: "Today (23 Jan), 15 days before the start of the Games, I walked to Imerati Valley, the site of the Olympic Park, which in the official pictures looks just fine, but the reality is far more prosaic: walkways laid for the Olympics, already collapsing, construction workers and a contactless current arena, repairs have no end.

Interactive maggot extraction cupcakes by Twisted Fondant which allow for mango flavoured maggots and puss to be removed prior to eating
World's Most Disgusting Treats At Grisly Cake Shop
It may seem a self-defeating idea, but a new cake-shop aims to turn the stomach of its customers.
The Eat Your Heart Out pop-up cake shop will offer some of the most grisly-looking 'treats' in the world.
Expertly-twisted bakers have created a range of cake-based products featuring realistic wounds, stitches and even chocolate hacked-off body parts filled with rum.
There are also fanciful depictions of the mythical kraken sea monster, including a blood-red mouth of kraken complete with a 100 individual hand-made chocolate teeth.
But perhaps most stomach-churning of all the delicacies is an interactive maggot extraction cupcake, which allows for mango flavoured maggots and puss to be removed with tweezers prior to eating.

'I'm going to be a dad' - photographer captures friends and family's reactions to the news, London, Britain - 06 Jan 2012

Martin. He already has an 8 year old so was very happy for us.
'I'm going to be a Dad' - Photos of Relatives Priceless Reactions
This collection of photographs shows a man's family and friends reacting to news that he is going to be a Dad.
Tom Robinson, 30, is a self-confessed gossip. He can't keep a secret to himself so when he found out his wife was pregnant he couldn't even wait until the three month scan before he told people.
After a couple of weeks he broke the news to his boss, which was received by a priceless reaction.
Instantly the London-based photographer knew he had to capture the reactions of his close family and friends and document it in a photo album.
He explained: "Verity and I hadn't been trying for a baby and I was 29, which for London is fairly young to have a child, so I knew I'd get some good reactions."
Tom and his wife then continued to tell their close relatives and friends their good news, all of it caught on camera.
His favourite reaction was from his parents: "They had just brought a new campervan and were very eager to give us a guided tour," explained Tom.
"I said I would take a quick photo of them sitting in the back and then told them our good news.
"My mum was so shocked she let out a little scream."
Another reaction that will stay in Tom's memory is that of his old school friend Pete.
"When I told him he just stared at me for ages with a bemused look on his face and then eventually brought a bottle of champagne to celebrate."
Other highlights in the photo album are the reactions of their closest group of friends who were told while in an Indian restaurant; Verity's brothers who turned away from their video game for a second to register the news then carried on playing and Harwin, Tom's old work colleague who looked at him in disgust.
Tom said:...

Predators Feast on 'No Man's Land'
These images take a fascinating look at nature's food chain in action.
Wildlife photographer Tom Schandy captured the grisly pictures of a dead moose providing sustenance to other wildlife.
Hiding out day and night on the border between Finland and Russia; nicknamed 'No Man's Land' because it is a popular feeding place for large carnivores Schandy secretly watched around the clock the dramatic wildlife event unfold.
Bears and wolves flocked to the dead female moose and feasted on its carcass until there was nothing left.
Schandy who was camouflaged less than 30 metres away from nature's wild feast told of a smooth stream of traffic to and from the dead moose.
He said: "During the course of the night eight bears and three wolves fought over the carcass.
"On occasion the bears and wolves would stand up to each other in order to get more of the fresh meat.
"Two of the bears even fought each other for the moose by standing on their hind legs and battling.
"Their roars sent shivers down my spine."

Camera trap photographs by Blair Roberts, Kenya - 2011

Peek-A-Boo: The World Through The Lens Of A Kenyan Camera Trap
You're wandering the plains of Kenya and you spot a mysterious metal box. You wouldn't be able to stop yourself having a quick peek, would you?
That was seemingly the reaction of all creatures great and small when ecology student Blair Roberts placed camera traps in the wildlife-rich region.
The 26-year-old wanted to study the feeding patterns of Thomson gazelle, but found her equipment captured some amazing - and hilarious - sights.
A cheeky Patas monkey, already an unusual-looking species, appears almost alien-like as it moves so near to the camera that cannot focus.
Similarly, in a side-splitting trio of images, an olive baboon takes such a close peek its nose nearly touches the lens.
In another picture, a juvenile olive baboon appears to cast a dismissive glance sideways at the camera as it follows it mother.
Other highlights include a Jungle Book-style herd of elephants sauntering by, a fearsome rhino looks about to charge at the camera, and, at one point, a pair of inquisitive cattle herders stopping to peer into the lens.
There are also cameo appearances from impala, zebra, oryx and, seeming slightly shy, a giraffe and ostrich that only poke their heads into the frame.
Night-vision images reveal buffalo, hyena and Jackson's hartebeest - along with an African elephant shortly before it knocked the camera over and bent the support pole to a 45 degree angle.
Blair, from Louisville, Kentucky, uses the images as part of dissertation research in her fourth year as a PhD student in Princeton University's Ecology and Evolutionary Biology program.
She has set up ten heat- and motion- triggered cameras in steel cases on four plains at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya. When activated they take three photos in quick success...

Inuit summer huting camp at the mouth of the sepentine river near Shishmaref a tiny island between alaska and siberia in the ChBritainchi sea is home to around 600 inuits or eskimos. As hunter gatherers their carbon footprint is tiny and as such are least responsible for global warming. Yet they are suffering greatly as a result. Their problem is twofold as temperatures rise the sea ice that used to protect thier island home forming around late september is now not forming until late december. this leaves them vulnerable to autumn and early winter storms that are eroding their island and washing it into the sea. Already 10 houses have been washed into the sea and more have had to be moved back from the edge. They are looking at having to relocate their whole comunity to the mainland but the government is refusing to pay for the relocation. Secondly the animals that they rely on for food are moving further north as temperatures warm making them harder to find and hunt threatening their ancient culture and identity.

Jonathan, the Boer War Tortoise, St Helena - 03 Dec 2008
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Bournemouth News / Rex Features ( 825780b )
This rare picture of a Boer war prisoner snapped on the remote island of St Helena more than a century ago, has remarkably shed light on one of the planets oldest living inhabitants. Jonathan the Giant tortoise in the picture is still alive today.
Jonathan, the Boer War Tortoise, St Helena - 03 Dec 2008
BOER WAR TORTOISE IS WORLD'S OLDEST LIVING ANIMAL
At first glance he may look like any old tortoise but where Jonathan is concerned 'old' is definitely the right word.
At 176-years-old he can lay claim to being the oldest living animal on the planet.
In fact when this black and white picture of him was taken, showing Jonathan munching on grass on the Island of St Helena during the Boer War, he was already around 70-year-old.
He was photographed being watched by a guard and a prisoner of war around 1900 after arriving on the island in 1882.
His life has spanned eight British monarchs from George IV to Elizabeth II, and 50 prime ministers.
Today Jonathan still lives on the same South Atlantic Island, along with fellow tortoises David, Speedy, Emma, Fredricka and Myrtle.
The previous oldest tortoise was thought to be Harriet, who died in 2005 aged 175 in Australia.
A spokesman for the island's tourist board said Jonathan is owned by the St Helena government and lives in the specially built plantation on the governor's land.
He said: "Jonathan is the sole survivor of three tortoises that arrived on St Helena Island in 1882.
"He was already mature when he arrived and was at least 50-years-old.
"Therefore his minimum age is 176-years-old. He is the oldest inhabitant on St Helena and is claimed to be the oldest living tortoise in the world.
"He lives in the grounds of Plantation House which is the governor's residence with five other tortoises who are much younger than him.
"He fe...

A baby giraffe who has been featured on GMTV has now been joined by a playmate. The arrival of two Rothschild giraffe calves is being hailed as a unique success for the breeding programme at the park in Bedfordshire, never before in the Park's history have two calves been born within a single month. Dr Jake Veasey at the park said 'It is a great boost to the Park's breeding programme and also to the survival of a critically endangered sub-species of giraffe.' The first male giraffe calf was discovered by staff early on Monday 25th September morning, already up and about and suckling from first time mother, Hannah. He soon became a media star, featuring on GMTV at the tender age of 4 days old, when viewers chose a name for him '' Goliath'. Savannah gave birth to the second male calf on the 20th October. He is as yet unnamed, but his name will begin with the letter ''G' like all the animals born this year.
