Tiny bird feeds her 11 chicks on branch of tree
 |
| The family of long-tailed tits wait patiently for their next meal at the Fairburn Ings, West Yorkshire |
But these newborn long-tailed tits, lined up on a branch and clamouring for a snack, are among the lucky ones.
They have a nice home in an RSPB nature reserve at Fairburn Ings, West Yorkshire, where they won't be allowed to starve.
Other long-tailed tits have not been so lucky. The tiny birds have suffered in the long, harsh winter and numbers are down a quarter on last year.
Guinness World Record 2011 - World's most tattooed woman
Julia Gnuse - nicknamed the 'illustrated lady' - has 95 per cent of her body covered in ink, ranging from jungle scenes and cartoons to her favourite actors.
Miss Gnuse, from California, started getting tattoos on her legs after developing a skin condition called porphyria, which causes the skin to blister when exposed to sunlight.
She then turned her attention to her stomach, arms and back and before long was addicted to body art.
In an interview, Miss Gnuse said although the ink did not stop her skin from blistering, it covered up the scars and allowed her to be exposed to the sun.
'I did this for the reason of covering scarring from the blisters. They get as deep as three degree burn,' she said.
'I had a friend who is a plastic surgeon, who suggested tattooing my skin the same color to the scarring that I had, seeing if we can match my just pale-looking skin that I had.'
'That didn't work. We tried it. It was very difficult to match that. So I had the idea of a colorful tattoo, then I got hooked. I got addicted.'
Miss Gnuse said there was medication available for her condition, but said taking it could have placed her at risk of blindness.

Spanish bullfighter nearly loses life
Recently, a tragedy occurred during a bullfight in Madrid, Spain: Well-known bullfighter [matador] Julio Aparicio was gored in the jaw by a heavily injured bull, with the bull’s horn protruding out from Aparicio’s mouth, the scene being extremely horrific.
BaleHaus@Bath (Straw bale house project)
The environmentally-friendly house was built with straw bale panels and could pave the way for the first housing estate of straw buildings.
After putting the dwelling through its paces, tests confirmed it was 'more than strong enough' to withstand hurricane force winds.
The team, from the University of Bath in Somerset, said the success of the house completely rewrote the famous fairytale involving the three little pigs and the big bad wolf.
The BaleHaus@Bath building was built by industrial partners ModCell to assess the performance of straw as a sustainable building material.
The two-storey building was officially opened by Grand Designs presenter Kevin McCloud last year.
The research team, led by Professor Pete Walker, Director of the University's Centre for Innovative Construction Materials, has been monitoring the house since October last year for thermal performance and humidity level.
The team has now tested the structure of the house for resisting winds of up to 120mph.
It used hydraulic jacks which pushed horizontally against the walls with a total force exceeding four tonnes, equivalent to the dynamic force of a hurricane.
During the tests, the walls moved no more than four millimetres under peak loads, well within design requirements and as predicted.
The researchers will use this data to develop a theoretical computer model of the house to simulate how a three-storey, or even higher, BaleHaus building would withstand such winds.
Professor Pete Walker said: 'Straw is a very environmentally-friendly building material because it is renewable and uses a co-product of farming.
'The crop used to make the straw locks in carbon dioxide as it grows and can be sourced from local farms, saving on transport and minimising the carbon footprint of the building.
'The recent test result is excellent as it has both confirmed the robustness of BaleHaus and validated the computer model, so avoiding the need for further tests and providing basis for safe and efficient structural design.
'We hope the data we're collecting on the BaleHaus will help strengthen the case for the mainstream building industry switching to using more sustainable building materials such as straw.'
Craig White, director of ModCell, said: 'This is a fantastic result. All too often, we are asked whether building with straw is durable.
'Our research at BaleHaus@Bath shows conclusively that building with straw using the ModCell System is not only safe, secure and durable, it is also fit for the 21st century challenge of reducing our CO2 emissions by 80 per cent by 2050.
'These tests will offer proof that renewable building materials are a realistic option for building on a large scale.

New Montauk Monster sighting?
Locals in a small Canadian town have been stumped by the appearance of a bizarre creature, which was dragged from a lake.
The animal, which has a long hairy body with bald skin on its head, feet and face, has prompted wild internet speculation that it is a more evolved version of the famous 'Montauk monster'.
The creature was discovered by two nurses in the town of Kitchenuhmaykoosib in Ontario, Canada, while out on a walk with their dog.

But how much do you know about Ip Man real life story who is also Bruce Lee's Shifu?
Does the movie potrays Ip man real life story?
Click here for his biography.
A Master’s gift to the world is his life. By seeing his life or at least by seeing the portrait of his life as painted in the stories of those who knew him, a Master’s life becomes a sketch of a path to Mastery.
From stories shared by his son, this book paints a portrait of the famous Wing Chun Grand Master, Yip Man, providing a set of fifteen principles as a guide to mastery. While there are broad lessons to be learned from this portrait, the details must be savored. Many of the great figures of history are shrouded in the mists of aggrandizement, but here the details, the fine strokes of the portrait, have remained to show the humble seeker something about the life of a Master.
Each chapter provides a principle or set of principles to contemplate. You will be
richly rewarded if you seek to discern the principles and the man who strove to
embody them.
These stories and the principles drawn from them are commended to you for your benefit and learning and enjoyment. Let them guide you in your journey, but do not look for them to tell you every step. In this portrait are great treasures for the taking, but not simply for the asking.
