Photographer documents the things we throw away, Zurich, Switzerland - Apr 2014

One Man's Trash: Photographer Documents The Things We Throw Away
A photographer has created a fascinating photo series by waiting around at a rubbish dump.
Sebastian Magnani wanted to document our relationship with material items - particularly what we consider disposable items.
He decided to snap visitors to Zurich's waste and recycling centre as they dropped off unwanted items.
His pictures show a steady stream of men, women and children carrying goods ranging from ski boots to a sledge.
Sebastian explains: "I shot the people who came in their cars and asked the workers where they need to trash her stuff.
"I asked them for a quick photo and for each picture I had maybe 10 Seconds. There was a long snake of people trashing their stuff.
"Most of the items were still working. Of course, items like the fire extinguisher were finished and the TV was retro and old.
"But, the boy with the sledge, that still works! Also, the books, the crate, the ironing board for the clothes; all working.
"People seemed at ease with disposing of products which mostly still work. At some point one has the feeling of wanting to possess something new again. It is a constantly repeating pattern to satisfy our needs, but not important. Finally, everything is a repetition, a different appearance. The old plate is replaced with the same function, but the design is different.
"We just want the feeling that something is changing in life. Maybe we should be conscious of what we really need. Everything else is a distraction, something we like to use to distract us from ourselves.
"How insecure and upset we actually are. But what if all of these products would no longer be? Time for change. Redefine prosperity. Materialism."

Wearable mobile with gps helps keep kids safe, Sweden, May 2014

Wearable Mobile With GPS Helps Keep Kids Safe
A watch that allows parents to track and talk to their children has been created.
As technology advances, the age of children with mobile phones is getting younger and younger.
Most parents give in to their children's requests for the latest smartphone as a mobile phone means they can keep in contact and check that they are safe.
Tinitell is a wearable phone and GPS tracker designed to be worn by children. The innovative idea aims to allow children to play freely without compromising their safety.
Founder and CEO of Tinitell, Mats Horn, came up with idea in 2012 while hanging out with a friend who is also a father.
Since coming up with the idea in 2013, Tinitell was founded as an official company in 2013 and is live on Kickstarter. The campaign has already received $49,538 which is just under half of the funding required.
Tinitell might just be the smallest commercial mobile phone on the market today, and you can operate it through the click of a button or via voice recognition.
The more advanced features can be operated through the accompanying Tinitell smartphone app that parents have, they can also use the app to geo-locate their children.
The Stockholm-based creator says: "His son wanted to go outside and play, but he didn't have a cell phone. He had lost a cell phone once before, and we didn't feel like lending out our smartphones.
"Worst of all, we couldn't join him outside because we were busy cooking dinner. His son ended up playing in his room with his iPad, and I thought that was sad."
This led Horn to think that there should be a simple mobile phone created for children.
"Nothing advanced, just a nicely designed speaker and microphone to handle quick 'hellos' and 'come here' signals....

A mother had a 'Great Scott!' moment when thinking of a Halloween costume for her son Cooper.
Cory Newton-Smith, 31, was so inspired by similarity of a red puffer vest jacket her one-year-old was wearing to the one Back To The Future character Marty McFly sports she built a tiny Delorean for him to ride in.
The result is a hilarious scale model of the iconic car from the 1985 film built around a child's push buggy.
Cory, from Seattle, explains: "It all started with a red puffy vest Cooper already had and a side comment from my husband Jeremy about Marty McFly in late September.
"I've always loved Back to the Future and love cars since I was little and grew up going to car shows with my dad; what better way to tote my one-year-old son around on Halloween than in a transformed $25 Step2 push car I bought off a sale at work?"

"I've always loved Back to the Future and love cars since I was little and grew up going to car shows with my dad; what better way to tote my one-year-old son around on Halloween than in a transformed $25 Step2 push car I bought off a sale at work?"

A mother had a 'Great Scott!' moment when thinking of a Halloween costume for her son Cooper.
Cory Newton-Smith, 31, was so inspired by similarity of a red puffer vest jacket her one-year-old was wearing to the one Back To The Future character Marty McFly sports she built a tiny Delorean for him to ride in.
The result is a hilarious scale model of the iconic car from the 1985 film built around a child's push buggy.

Meerkat triplets make their debut, Dudley Zoo, Dudley, Britain - 28 Aug 2012
Mums's the word for this tiny twosome after a child's dummy dropped into the meerkat enclosure at Dudley Zoo was quickly picked up by their mother and brought over to the young pups.
Three tiny new arrivals have been spotted out and about exploring their surroundings, after opening their eyes for the first time this week.
The triplets were born in one of the underground burrows around three weeks ago and made their public debut in recent days to join the eight-strong mob of adults.
A meerkat is born undeveloped unable to open its eyes or ears for around two weeks and youngsters stay close to the burrows, usually with an adult meerkat who has been chosen as the babysitter of the pack.
Keepers will have to wait until the babies are eight weeks old until they are able to find out what sex they are.
Ungulates team leader, Jay Haywood, said: "The babies are very cute and are always a hit with visitors with their antics."

The Obliteration Room by Yayoi Kusama, coloured child's sticker room art, Queensland, Australia - Jan 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Mark Sherwood / Rex Features (1528861d)
'Yayoi Kusama
Child's Play: Art Piece Sees Room Covered in Colourful Stickers
What do you get when you let loose a group of children armed with coloured stickers on a white room? A work of art!
An artist has created a work in which youngsters are encouraged to express themselves on walls, floor, furniture and ceiling.
Yayoi Kusama's The Obliteration Room features a domestic living space in pure white, complete with sofas, bookcases, vases and a television.
The room then slowly takes on a vibrant new appearance as visitors are allowed to place thousands of stickers anywhere they want.
Dan Cameron of the Queensland Art Gallery explains: "In this installation, an Australian domestic environment is recreated in the gallery space, complete with locally sourced furniture and ornamentation, all of which has been painted completely white.
"While this may suggest an everyday topography drained of all colour and specificity, it also functions as a blank canvas to be invigorated - or, in Kusama's vocabulary, 'obliterated' - through the application, to every available surface, of brightly coloured stickers in the shape of dots."
The obliteration room is part of the exhibition 'Yayoi Kusama: Look Now, See Forever', a survey of the artist's current practice showing at the Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia until March 11, 2012.

Golden bengal tiger appears to play pat-a-cake with little girl at Cougar Mountain Zoo, Washington, America - 30 Oct 2011
Manadatory Credit: Photo by Dyrk Daniels/Solent News / Rex Features (1487548c)
A Moment Of Paws
These breathtaking photographs capture the remarkable moment a tiger bowed its head and placed a paw up to the hand of a small girl.
Photographer Dyrk Daniels noticed the 370lb Golden Bengal Tiger had taken an interest in the child who was leaning against its glass enclosure.
As the tiger, called Taj, headed over Dyrk got his camera ready expecting him to snarl and bang against the glass.
But amazingly the tiger stretched a paw out to where the child's hand rested and also rubbed his cheek against where he face was.
Father-of-two Dyrk, 47, from Washington, America, said: "I was with another photographer and we were both eager to photograph the Bengal tigers.
"There were several kids and family in the area, so I decided to let them have the chance to see the tigers up close first, before I tried taking photos of the cats.
"That is when I noticed this little girl was leaning against the glass with both hands out stretched staring at the "big kitties".
"I noticed that Taj had taken an interest in the girl and was heading towards her.
"I thought for certain that the little girl would need therapy after the encounter and fear cats for the rest of her life.
"I could not believe my eyes when Taj approached the girl, bowed his head and then placed his huge right paw exactly in front of where the little girl's left hand was.
"It was incredible to watch. Taj let down his right paw, rubbed his cheek against the glass where the little girl's face was and moved off."
Aerospace engineer Dyrk took the photographs at Cougar Mountain Zoo in Washington.
He added: "The little girl was so excited when she turned around and started clapping as she walked towards her mother.
"I have never seen such tenderness from such a large predator."

Woman designs cuddly toys based on children's drawings, Vancouver, Canada - 03 Nov 2011
Manadatory Credit: Photo by NTI Media Ltd / Rex Features (1485665z)
A Business That Is Pure Child's Play
One enterprising mother has proven that starting a business can, quite literally, be child's play.
Wendy Tsao brings children's imaginations to life by creating toy versions of the pictures they draw.
She started making the heart-warming creations four years ago when her son started school.
And since then she has made a successful business from turning children's colourful scribbles of animals and people into cute cuddly toys.
From pink dinosaurs to oversized dogs and silly green monsters, there's no drawing too tall for Wendy to make come true.
Charging around GBP 37 plus post and packing she spends up to five days making the toys with the typical one being complete within two days.
Speaking about the process of making one of the toys Wendy said: "Someone sends me their child's drawing. I look at it and take in all the details, such as the different colours and the spirit of the drawing.
"Sometimes I'll email back to ask the artist for clarification of a detail. Then I estimate how long it will take me to make it, and I provide the customer with a quote. If they're interested in proceeding I send them an invoice.
"It's taken me years of practice to figure out how to make these soft toys from a 2-dimensional drawing, and every dollmaker probably has different ways of approaching their projects.
"I usually start by picking out the fabrics I want to work with, then drawing a pattern out on newsprint and cutting out the pieces before finally sewing them together.
"I often have to make alterations to get it to the right shape. Sometimes, not often, when it's not working out I even have to start over again.
Wendy's first creation was for her young son to take to school.
"The school asked parents to send in a comfort toy to be put in the emergen...
