Old TVs: The gifts given by a prankster in Henrico County in Virginia USA, were largely unwanted by the recipients. The prankster wore a blue jumpsuit and a mask that looked like an old television set. In the middle of the night he visited the porches of about 50 homeowners, dropping an outdated TV set on each one. Police were called but, because no harm was done, they decided not to pursue the TV-toting gift giver. Also, based on the images caught on cameras on some of the properties, the cops weren't sure if there had been one or more perpetrators. The TVs were collected for recycling. Place of beauty: Adventure holidays might be great for some people, but others may want to skip the excitement and instead just relax. One place to do just that is Seven Sisters on the southern coast of England where visitors can take in the beauty of land meeting sea. At Seven Sisters, white chalk cliffs topped with lush grass meet the blue English Channel. The name comes from the seven hilltops that comprise the cliffs. Visitors to the area can take a walk on a path that goes along the seven hills, then can stop for a snack in the tranquil village of Birling Gap.
Art from junk: A young artist from the small town of Mfuwe in Zambia, is attracting attention for his ability to turn scrap metal into works of art. In order to attend secondary school, Frederick Phiri had to find odd jobs which included making wire sculptures of animals that he sold to tourists. Eventually Phiri apprenticed with Moses Mbewe, a welder, who taught him how to do intricate work. Mbewe recognised the young man's talent and encouraged him to make creative pieces using bike chains, keys and other scrap metal. Phiri creates abstract animals such as chameleons and elephants, and is making a name for himself.
“It is completely unimportant. That is why it is so interesting.” ~ Agatha Christie “Technology…the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.” ~ Max Frisch

Because insurance is boring but life isn’t!
Swiss travellers: A family from Switzerland has chosen to live their lives as nomads. For almost a decade, Xavier and Celine Pasche have travelled the world on their bicycles, pulling a chariot to carry gear and their two girls, Nayla and Fibie. The girls were born during their travels, which have included Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Alaska, and more. They live in a tent and cook for themselves. They finance their travels by contributing writing and photographs to a Swiss newspaper and by giving talks. For the Pasche family, living simply while travelling is a way of life, and they have found much kindness from people everywhere.
