    Here is a chess set not for the squeamish – with the figures made up of taxidermy mice.The kings, queens, knights, bishops , castles and pawns are all rodents dressed in appropriate costumes.The set includes 16 light colored mice and 16 dark mice, in various sizes, pawns being the smallest.The mice are all individually stuffed by self-taught taxidermist Rachael Garcia from Florida in the USA.She stresses that the dead mice were acquired from a captive breeding facility that distributes frozen rodents for pet reptile feeding.As well as mice, Rachael uses foam, cotton, wire, beads, fabric, wood, paint, paper and glue to make each set which take at least 30 to 60 days to complete and dry.She said:” Every mouse was a unique creature in life, making each piece of this set a one of kind creation hand stuffed by me.”The set comes complete with wooden handmade chess board, and storage boxes.She can customise both the costumes of the pieces and the colours and board design. The sets are available from her store on shopping website Etsy under the trading name TheCurious13.

    Life in Tokyo, Japan
    *Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/t8mw
    When you think of Tokyo what probably comes to mind is a modern metropolis of millions of people - from cosplayers to robots, busy crossings to technological luxuries. Meanwhile, the tradition of 'saving' and 'giving' face means that the view of Japan that many foreigners see is somewhat sanitised and homogenised. The desire to avoid causing loss of face for oneself, one?s organization, or for others means less than sanitary can be swept under the carpet. Meanwhile, honored guests and high-ranking people are given VIP treatment in order to 'give face'. In reality Tokyo is a beautiful melting pot of a capital city that is as diverse as anywhere in the world - encompassing both the good and the bad. One person aware of this is photographer Lee Chapman who has lived in Tokyo since the end of the nineties. Initially meaning to stay just a year or two, it quickly hit him that this wouldn't be anywhere near long enough to get a real grasp of the place.

    People playing chess in the middle of floods in their village of Truni.
    Schoolchildren forced to go to school on boats due to the overflowing Bengawan Solo river, Truni, Lamongan, Indonesia - 10 Apr 2013
    Schoolchildren are being forced to travel to school by boat as the road has been submerged in water.

    Students from the village Truni in Indonesia use boats to travel to school each day as the Bengawan Solo River has overflowed and flooded their villages and homes.

    It is common during the rainy months of February through to April for the river to overflow.

    However, the flooding is now more severe than ever as approximately a thousand houses over 12 villages in district Lamongan are submerged in water, as floods reach nearly a metre high.

    The riverside residents are forced to perform activities such as washing and bathing with water that has been contaminated with faeces.

    There is no concern from the government to address the flooding of the Bengawan Solo River that occurs every year after being damaged by illegal sand mining machines.

    That's Magic: Harry Potter Hogwarts Built from 400,000 Lego Pieces
    A woman has built a scale model of Hogwarts from the Harry Potter films from 400,000 Lego pieces.

    Alice Finch, 38, spent 12 months constructing the replica of the school from the films based on J.K. Rowling's books.

    The Seattle teacher also has recreated scenes from the movie in various rooms throughout the model including meal time in the Great Hall and the transfiguration and potions classrooms.

    Alice explains: "It is designed to be architecturally accurate and completely playable. It breaks into sections that pack into 40 large flat boxes or shelves."

    She told brothers-brick.com: "There are about 10,000 bricks just in the big central staircase to give you a sense of scale. It is built in the shape of an L, where each side is about 13 feet (nearly 4 metres) long."

    "It sounds odd to say 'Lego-related injuries' but it is possible," Ms Finch told News.com.au.

    "At one point I over-stressed my knees by leaning over my work table for hours upon hours and I've worn off my fingerprints several times. When I was putting on thousands of cones on the roofs, I wore band aids on my fingers because they were so worn and sore."

    The model won the People's Choice award and Best in Show at the Lego convention BrickCon 2012. Lego's official Hogwarts set only uses 1,290 bricks.
