The Castle Of Cards ~
The American architect Bryan Berg has entered the 'Guinness Book of Records', not for any outstanding or most unusual design or features of a building, though fabulous building it was. No easier than a building of concrete and steel; it's the biggest one built with naipes. It's in fact the Venecian-Macau Hotel Resort, for which he had used 218,792 cards, completed in 44 days, recreating with major fidelity of that building, weighing 272 kilos, measures 11 metres long and 3 metres high.
He has turned this hobby into his profession, earning a living putting cards one on top of another, to create constructions of anything commissioned, without ever using any glue or anything else to keep the cards steady and together. Quite incredible trick/skill, don't you think?
Fate Of The Polar Bears ~
These mother and baby bears are floating on an iceberg, at 20 kilometres from the nearest coast of Svalbard (Norway). They huddled together, the baby being comforted by the mother, who is surveying the horizon no doubt hoping to reach soon somewhere safer. The future seems bleak and uncertain, but experts say such cases usually resolve with the bears coming out of it unharmed.
Let's hope so, for their sake. And for ours.
