23 year-old Julia Koceva is not a full-time career artist. But when you see the sheer quality of her work, you’ll wonder why not. Her skills are just crazy. Brilliant. In her regular job, Swedish Koceva is a criminologist in Sweden. But it’s her work with a ballpoint pen that we’re really interested in. She’s a specialist in a type of dot drawing called ‘stippling’. It’s basically making pictures just from banging a whole load of dots on the page. And it can – with precision – make for really quite magnificent artwork… Here is a collection of some of…
Migraines. As many as one in five people are thought to suffer with the severe headaches known as migraines. An intense and extremely painful throbbing sensation, they can seriously affect a person’s life. What’s worse? There’s no real known cause or cure. But a new theory seems to be gaining in popularity at the moment.. ‘The Daith Piercing’. Also known as the ‘Inner Ear Piercing’, it’s a subtle little piercing that hits a nerve and works on the principles of acupuncture. Thousands of women across the world are trying it and reporting back with excellent results. Migraines cease or at…
There’s nothing quite like relaxing on a nice day and laying down on the grass, is there? That’s what Aussie DIY and gardening expert Jason Hodges thinks and we’re inclined to agree with him. Granted, for a lot of us, the weather isn’t all that great at the moment. But Spring is coming and we’re looking forward to getting a little sun in soon. But what if you don’t have a lawn or grassy garden in which to kick back on and wait for the sun’s rays? Well, there is an option for you. And Jason wants to talk you through…
Bangalore, India. An incredibly terrifying scene saw a LEOPARD of all things go on a rampage in a school and cause total havoc, panic and carnage. The big cat terrorized the Vibbgyor International school in the Indian city in a shocking incident. The animal was wild and wandered onto the premises without warning. Luckily, only one person was harmed, although not seriously. There are thought to be almost 15,000 wild leopards in India, so it’s possible that such creatures could stroll into public buildings like this. But when it’s a school? Questions have to be asked of the officials in…
We’ve just seen Super Bowl 50 come and go and all the fun it had to bring… Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos beating Cam Newton’s Caroline Panthers. Coldplay, Bruno Mars and Beyonce’s half time show. And, of course, Lady Gaga’s National Anthem. But perhaps the thing that stole the show most – aside from Gaga’s epic performance – came from the commercial break. The game itself was pretty defensive and boring, so we had to look to the advertisements for entertainment. And, luckily, Doritos stepped up to the plate. They ‘delivered’ a brilliant little commercial that had America laughing…
South Central Los Angeles, California. Two people working for the animal charity Hope For Paws are out investigating reports of an abandoned dog. Eldad Hager and Lisa Chiarelli went to check it out but couldn’t believe what they found. The mutt was in a state… But not just that – she’s was half-wolf! “Usually we rescue dogs, but this time, I am pretty sure that we rescued a wolf-hybrid!!” Said Lisa. ‘Julia’ the half dog/half wolf was not in a good way when they found her, but everyone was dedicated to saving her. Here’s her story: “Just as we spotted…
The National Anthem of the United States of America is one of the hardest songs for any singer to sing due to the wide range of notes and octaves in it. There’s no hiding place, you have to be a great singer in order to do it justice. And when it was announced that American Horror Story star Lady Gaga was due to take it on before Super Bowl 50 this year, some eyebrows were raised… Everyone knows that Gaga is a great entertainer and a huge pop star. But some people have doubted her voice in the past. But…
Lunchtime at school. Remember it? It was just about rushing to the cafeteria, chowing down some food and getting out, wasn’t it? Lessons stopped for food and resumed afterwards. But that’s not how it works in every country. Take Japan, for instance. They take a whole new approach to lunch. It’s opportunity to learn! When the lunch bell strikes, it’s time for food, sure. But it’s not time for the learning to cease. Some Japanese schools are running a scheme where pupils then head into the canteen after prepare for meals and doing health and cleanliness checks, amongst other things.…

We’ve all heard the song, You Raise Me Up before, haven’t we? It’s a lovely little tune, sure. But we’ve never heard a version of it as stunning as the one we’ve got for you here. It’s by the all-female Irish musical ensemble Celtic Woman it’s simply beyond stunning… We’ve seen and heard some pretty slick cover versions recently. Like the reggae version of Adele’s Hello. And the Native American cover of Unchained Melody. But this is the most touching cover song we’ve experienced in some time. Not only does it sound great, the visuals are captivating too. You might…
