Everybody’s Talking!Anonymous winner: When someone wins a lottery, it’scommon for pictures of the lucky person to be taken and pub-licized. But a Jamaican woman decided she didn’t want to berecognized after she won $1.4 million (USD) in a lottery.During the presentation of her large check, the woman, knownas N. Gray, donned an enormous, round, yellow, smiling emojimask, complete with a winking eye. There is no way anyonewould ever recognize her! The woman, who won the money ina Super Lotto game, told organizers that she plans to carry onwith life as usual. She won’t quit her job, but she may go on acruise just for fun.Saving the child: A brave ex-soldier from Huaihua, HunanProvince (China), completed a daring civilian rescue after hesaw a child in danger on a fifth floor window of an apartmentcomplex. Zhang Xin used window grill bars to climb to thechild, who was dangling precariously, while worried onlookerswatched from below. Some of the onlookers managed to get atarp in place beneath him in case he fell, but he didn’t! Uponreaching the fifth floor, he managed to push the crying toddlerback into the apartment. Furry baby: When fully grown, a bear is unlikely to be mistakenfor a dog. But what about when they are babies? A man fromYongsheng County, Yunnan Province (China), did just that.When he was out looking for wild mushrooms, he came across alittle puppy, or so he thought. He took the pup home andlooked after it, but must have realized something was amisswhen the puppy grew into a very large Asian bear, which is aprotected species. The man kept the bear in a cage, but tookgood care of it. Someone reported him, and authorities claimedthe bear. The man was not fined because he was cooperativeand the bear was in good health.Escaped pigs: A security camera revealed that, in the middle ofthe night, two pigs appeared at a gas station in Upper Coomera,Queensland (Australia). When the sun came up, the porky beastsgreeted amused customers and staff, many of whom took photos.The pigs spent several hours checking out people and cars.They also enjoyed rutting around in a garden before taking anap. It turns out that the friendly, but mischievous, pair had gottenaway from their owner’s home, located not far from the gasstation. The owner soon arrived on the scene to pick up thetwo curly-tailed beasts.

Everybody’s Talking!Lonely house: An interesting place in Iceland is called thePrídrangaviti Lighthouse. With a name that means “three rockpillars,” it was built in 1939 on top of a slim rock outcrop thatsits six miles off the country’s southern coast, near the WestmanIslands. The red-roofed lighthouse is on the largest of four suchrock pillars protruding from the sea. To build it, constructionworkers first had to build a road to the cliff, and then had toclimb to the top of the cliff with the materials. Today, mainte-nance workers get there via helicopter. No one lives in this light-house, as it is so remote and isolated.Vulture madness: It’s not uncommon to hear about cases inwhich pigeons, crows, or gulls take over a place in large numbers,but vultures? That’s what happened in a neighborhood in WestPalm Beach, Florida (U.S.). Apparently, someone started feedingthe vultures, an act that served to attract other vultures to cometo the free buffet. Unfortunately, a committee of vultures makesquite a mess, and homeowners ended up with pecked vehicles,torn screens, and invaded swimming pools. Even fake owls andloud music have failed to scare the birds away.Blue-eyed sisters: A couple from Reading, England, owntwo “American Type” Russian Blue cats. Named Xafi and Auri,this pair of sisters has attracted a lot of attention on social mediabecause of their interesting blue-green eyes. The feline breed isquite gentle and intelligent, and these two love to pose for thecamera. Their owners say that Xafi and Auri get along really well,loving to cuddle with each other. To get photos, the owners usetreats and toys, but say the best pictures emerge when the catsare just being themselves and are acting naturally.Alpine adventure: With the Matterhorn in full view, themountain town of Zermatt is a scenic place to visit inSwitzerland. In the winter, it is known for its great skiing andother snow sports, such as skating and curling. In other seasons,mountain biking, rock climbing, and hiking on mountain trailskeep adventurous people busy. Those who aren’t athletic cango on the Matterhorn glacier ride, a cable car ride that offersviews of the glacier landscape. After the day’s activities, a visitorcan dine at one of the many top-class restaurants that line thestreets of the town.
