Soviet breakaway republic of Transnistria, Moldova, Europe - Feb 2013

The Soviet Time-Slip Territory Of Transnistria
Located on a sliver of land running along the eastern border of Moldova, the self declared independent country of Transnistria clings to its Soviet roots.
Located on the border of the Ukraine, Transnistria has its own government, parliament, military, police and postal system, but remains unrecognised internationally.
And this time-slip territory maintains a Soviet feel that has been described as "surreal", with even the flag sporting the hammer and sickle emblem of Communism.
As the Soviet Union began to fragment in the late 1980s Moldova effectively had independence thrust upon it.
A growing sense of nationalism saw a number of new laws proposed, including a move towards making Moldovan the nation's only official language.
For many in the east of the country this was seen as the beginning of a process that would eventually exclude Russian speakers from public life.
So in September 1990 the region of Transnistria proclaimed its secession from Moldova.
Two months later, when Moldovan police attempted to forcibly remove new checkpoints to the region, a civil war was ignited.
Lasting for two years, this conflict cost the lives of approximately 700 fighters and civilians.
It was concluded by a ceasefire in July 1992 and although this tense truce remains in place today Transnistria's political status remains unresolved.
Though it has all the trappings of an independent nation it isn't officially recognised by any other sovereign nation - not even Russia - and to all intents and purposes is still considered to be part of Moldova.
Today, there is a heavy Russian military presence in Transnistria - an agreement made as part of the ceasefire - and Soviet soldiers remain a highly visible presence.
Visitors to Transnistria coming from Moldova mu...

The World of Charles Dickens book by Stephen Browning - Jan 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Daniel Tink / Rex Features (1533651x)
Dickens features various London Bridges in many of his works. This is Westminster Bridge, opened 8 years before his death. The Palace of Westminster took 30 years to build and was finished the year he died. This area thus was completely changed during his lifetime.
Book Explores The World of Charles Dickens
With the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens' birth commemorated on 7th February, a new book delves deep into the characters and locations featured in his classic works.
The World of Charles Dickens by Stephen Browning sees the author embark on a fascinating literary adventure throughout Britain.
His journey is illuminated by over 200 photographs taken especially for the book of locations in London, Kent, Yorkshire, the Midlands, the South of England, the West Country and East Anglia.
They include well-known locations including what is thought to be the Old Curiosity Shop in London, Dickens beloved sea-facing Bleak House in Broadstairs and the writer's London home in Holborn.
There are also trips to Rochester, the setting for Great Expectations and The Pickwick Papers, and The Lizard in Cornwall where Dickens would enjoy inspiring walks.
The pictures were shot over the course of a year and represent a reflection of Stephen Browning's lifelong admiration for Dickens.
Dickens is perhaps best known for bringing to life areas of London and parts of the capital are still evocative of his characters and storylines.
Stephen explains: "It is hard to choose a favourite location but maybe the Strand, where he walked both as a boy and as a man up to his offices in Wellington Street. I always see him here striding purposely in his flamboyant waistcoats.
"He was very famous and people would often double back to get another look at him. Or around the Bank of England where Scrooge would prowl. Smithfield too i...

Drink can Christmas tree, Lafayette, Louisiana, America - 30 Nov 2011

The 400 Can Christmas Tree
CAN you believe it, this is an amazing Christmas tree made from 400 drink cans.
The seasonal creation was made by two friends with an addiction for fizzy soda.
Phillip Lanclos, 22, hit on a festive idea after collecting over 3000 cans of Vault energy drink.
He roped in his pal Jason Lantier, 22, to painstakingly construct the fake fir tree. They binded the tins together around a central pole with hand-cut wire.
Phillip, from Lafayette, Louisiana explains: "I started collected Vault three years back just because I liked it so much. I would never throw a single can away and my friends would give me their empty cans. I actually have collected over 3000 tins.
"I wanted to eventually make something with the collection and for Christmas my friend Jason and I decided to build the Vault tree.
"We used a huge pipe, over 400 self cut wires, over 400 Vault cans, which didn't even make a dent in my collection, and the lights and ribbon. The tree took 2 full days and 400 cans."
But creating a tree next year may be a problem as Phillip explains: "I was recently saddened because my town no longer has Vault anywhere. I got feedback from some Reddit users that still have access to Vault and some have said they would be willing to send me some for Christmas! It would be the greatest present ever."

No Child's Play: Artist Creates Sculpture From 87,000 Crayons
A sculpture made from 87,000 crayons has been created to resemble the recent bushfires that ravaged the Texan state several weeks ago.
The five rigid flames range from 3-8 ft in height and have taken Herb Williams, 38, over a year to complete.
The Portrait of Wildfire sculpture is currently exhibited outside at the National Ranching Heritage Centre at Texas Technology University where they will gradually over time begin to change according to weather conditions.
Herb explains: "The sculptures are meant to interact with the Texas environment, and I am eagerly awaiting the melt down of these sculptures in the hot Texas sun.
"I think that could be even more beautiful than what I have created."
The substructures of the flames were built from steel bars wrapped in canvas and painted black "so when the crayons do begin melting off of the structures, they will resemble the ashen landscape that the bushfires left behind," explains Herb.
The Tennessee-based artist hopes the sculptures will create awareness of the bushfires to the general public and prevent it from happening in the future.
Manager of Education at the National Ranching Heritage Center, Emily Arellano said: "The project received a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts, which we were thrilled about especially as their budget had been drastically cut this year.
"They awarded us a grant because our project used art to understand and improve the environment as well as focusing on an ecological issue."
Herb started experimenting with many different mediums before he found crayons. He is one of the only individuals in the world to have an account with Crayola.
Another one of his recent projects includes 'Plunderland' a ...

Developer builds replica of the Disney/Pixar 'UP' house, Herriman, Utah, America - 14 Jul 2011
FULL WORDS: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/c9hv
An American builder has constructed a full-scale replica of the house from Disney/Pixar film Up.
Bangerter Homes have copied every detail of the colourful property for the building in Herriman in Utah.
It is painted in the same bright colours as the home of 79-year-old character Carl Fredricksen in the animation - and will even have balloons tied to the roof.
The 2,800sq ft property has been made for show at this month's Salt Lake Parade of Homes before being expected to sell for $399,000, an amount of which will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Disney/Pixar have given unprecedented permission for a one-time license to construct the replica, which stays true to the movie's 1950's retro styling.

Artist has tan-designs on his body, London, Britain - Jul 2010

Tan Fan Turns Body Into Work Of Art
Tan lines are normally a cause of embarrassment - but this designer turned them into a work of art.
Wacky artist James Titterton covered his body from head to toe in a series of bizarre images and had them tanned on to his skin.
The 24-year-old endured an all over body wax and underwent a series of eight sessions on a sunbed, ending up with fish, a cockerel and a ship's anchor bronzed on his flesh.
James, from London, said: "The idea was inspired by a hero of mine, the late Paul Arden, a former creative director at advertising powerhouse Saatchi & Saatchi.
"He was always trying to get people thinking in different ways and one of his ideas was that your body can be whatever you want it to be.
"This got me thinking about tan lines, and how skin is like photographic paper in that sense. All I needed was some content to 'develop' onto myself."
After James came up with the idea he set up an online blog, 'Tan the Man', and encouraged people to send in their ideas for tanning.
The winner was Janine Rewell, from Helsinki, Finland, whose inspiration came from Scandinavian design and Slavic folk art.
Her design was created on computer and then lasers used to cut vinyl stickers into those shapes.
They sought advice on whether the tanning was safe before undergoing eight 10-15 minute sessions in a solarium.
He then stripped to just his pants before showing off his work at an exhibition.
He said: "Janine's entry was the clear winner, so I set about getting it tanned onto myself.
"Then we put the whole process on the Tan The Man blog, with video diaries and pictures.
"The tanning was done over eight sessions, I was working part time in a pub at the time, and my tanned arms did attract a bit of attention, but I just explained it was...

THE BREAD VAN THAT CAN DO 180MPH
Two friends have crossed a Citreon 2CV with a Ferrari - and produced a bread van which can do a staggering 180mph.
The bizarre hybrid took the pair five years and cost more than GBP 150,000 to put together.
They took the chassis and engine of a speedy Ferrari F355 Berlinetta and combined it with the body of a 12bhp Citroen 2CV Fourgonnette bread-van.
To finish it off they gave the 2CV's ageing white body a glossy Ferrari red paint job.
And they slapped a yellow shield logo, very like the iconic Ferrari prancing pony motif, on the front above the famous Citroen double chevron emblem.
The result of their efforts is a stunning vehicle that churns out almost 400bhp and can hurtle from 0 to 60mph in less than five seconds.
The car was put together by Nicolo Lamberti, 35, and Milko Dalla Costa, 51, who run the Italian 'Nimik' rally team.
Nicolo said they found the Ferrari at an 'interesting price' and decided to modify it.
They had the idea to combine it with the 2CV after seeing it abandoned in the back of a garage in Turate, in Northern Italy.
He said: "We decided to purchase the Ferrari even though we didn't know what we were going to do with it.
"But because of our crazy minds we were confident that an idea would soon come to us.
"Then we saw the 2CV and Milko, who is a Citroen collector, had the idea of combining its body shell with the Ferrari.
"The 2CV hardly cost anything because it was in such bad condition. It had no engine and all that was left was the body shell."
The team at Nimik modified and widened the 2CV's body, and added a giant air vent to either side.
They mounted the Ferrari's huge V8 engine in the middle of the rear wheel drive car,...

The Hoover Dam Bypass
THE HOOVER DAM BYPASS
If one is looking to bypass something as structurally awe-inspiring as the Hoover Dam, you can be sure the resulting engineering feat will be just as impressive.
That is why the spectacle of the dam bypass bridge taking shape is a jaw-dropping sight to behold.
Officially named The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, the structure spanning the Colorado River is on course to offer sightseers double the spectacle for their money.
Construction began in late January 2005 and the completion of the entire Hoover Dam Bypass Project is expected in June 2010 at an estimated cost of about $240 million.
The bridge section will stretch nearly 2,000ft over the Black Canyon, 1,600 feet south of the dam, and nearly 900-feet above the river. Its 1,060 foot twin-rib arch will be the longest concrete arch in America.
Its main job is to hook up the Arizona and Nevada Approach highways, thereby diverting the flow of vehicles from the actual dam itself.
The highway is the main link between Las Vegas and Phoenix, two cities that have seen population explosions since the dam was first completed in 1935.
It is thought that more than 17,000 cars and trucks will use the new bridge daily, although the number could grow by 50 percent in the next two decades.
Another more serious reason is the threat of a terrorist attack on the dam, something that saw trucks permanently banned from the road after September 11, 2001.
The bridge has been named in memory of Mike O'Callaghan, the Governor of Nevada in the 1970s and a veteran of the Korean War, and Pat Tillman, who gave up his career as a superstar American footballer to serve in the US Army in Afghanistan. He was killed there...

THE WOMAN WHO MADE AMY WINEHOUSE... AND MICHAEL JACKSON, AND STING, AND NOEL GALLAGHER, AND ...
Meet the woman who made Amy Winehouse - literally.
Talented Liz Lomax creates amazing mini sculptures of famous rockers by hand - and has used BRILLO PADS for Amy's hair.
Her work has included quirky caricatures of megastar musicians including Keith Richards, Noel Gallagher and Sting.
She has even made a mini MICHAEL JACKSON dangling a baby.
And the stars love her affectionate versions of them so much that they are only too pleased to say thanks.
New Yorker Liz's souvenir scrapbook includes pictures of her with Ringo Starr, Paul Weller and Roger Daltrey.
The 33-year-old, who calls herself "a three dimensional illustrator", creates the figurines for record covers, magazines, billboards, adverts and, as in Amy's case, just for fun.
Liz explains: "Most of my ideas come from watching people in the news and current events. There'll be that one person or situation that will jump out and I can see the whole thing sculpted in my head.
"For example, Amy Winehouse was in the news a lot last summer and seemed to be on a very public downward spiral which was so sad but I couldn't help wanting to follow the story.
"Her hair alone was so captivating and it reminded me that I had some brillo pads under the kitchen sink. I thought how perfect they'd be for her beehive, so I sculpted her."
