T˙ Ar?ite?’‘ New‘??r 31 OCT 2013 Amazing Rendering from Greece By RAND GUY Architect Mihalis Fountouklis, from Greece, created an amazing work of rendering art in only 10 minutes! The young architect mentioned in his interview that it was not an easy task. Years of intense training was the only thing that helped him achieve the unachievable. Mihalis said "I am really glad that I did it. I want to thank all my friends and family for the psychological support. Without them, I wouldn’t be here today." When asked by our reporter what it really took to create this work of art he replied "I went in Tibet for 6 years. The monks there took me and raised me as one of them. Every morning we would wake up and go stand on a corner, on one foot, while tigers were attacking us and we were trying to create a smiley face on MS Paint with our nose. After many months and scratches I made it. From then on, it was just repetition that helped me become a true master of the "Flamingo" working method." The rendered picture was inspired by a local cafe in Patras, Greece called "Si Doux" where the creator is known to be going quite often. Other than that, little can be said for the unimaginable piece of art this man created. Reuters International Moose Count Underway By BOB O’BOBSTON The UN-sponsored International Moose Census got o? to a ?ying start today with hopes for an increase in the worldwide moose population compared to last year’s disapointing ?gures. Among the traditional early reporters were Egypt, returning ?gures of six moose, a twenty percent increase on 2011’s ?gures of ?ve, and Uruguay whose moose population remains stable at eleven. According to Robbie McRobson, head of the UN Moose Preservation Council, worldwide moose numbers are expected to grow markedly on last year due to the traditional moose strongholds of Canada and the United States, with the larger developing moose ecologies also poised to make gains. The largest percentagege increase in moose will likely come from China”, says McRobson, The Chinese government has invested heavily in moose infrastructure over the past decade, and their committment to macrofauna is beginning to pay dividends”. Since 2004 China has expanded moose pasture from 1.5 of arable land to nearly 3.648 and moose numbers are expected to rise to 60,000 making China a net moose exporter for the ?rst time. This is good news for neighbouring Mongolia, a barren moose-wasteland whose inhabitents nonetheless have an insatiable desire for the creatures. The increase in Beijing-Ulanbataar trade is anticipated to relieve pressure on the relatively strained Russian suppliers, but increase Mongolia’s imbalance of trade with its larger neighbour. Historically the only competitor to China in the far eastern moose markets has been Singapore but the tiny island nation is set to report a net loss, expecting a decrease of more than ?ve percent on last year’s 50,000 moose counted. The head of Singapore’s Agency for Agriculture, JingFeng Lau, explained to an incredulous Singaporean parliament yesterday that bad weather had contributed to this season’s poor showing, most notably when a cargo of 150 moose were swept out into the Indian ocean in a monsoon. Yet again the global demand for moose will be met largely by the US and Canada. The recession-hit States is taking comfort in its moose growth ?gures with gross production expected to break 700,000 and net exports to grow by 2. The worldwide dominance of Canada shows no signs of abating though with this year’s moose population expected to match last year’s record ?gures of one hundred million billion. Europe’s rise as an international moose power will slow slightly this year as a response to the European Union’s move towards standardising the European moose. Stringent quality controls are holding back the development of the eastern european populations compared to last year when they contributed signi?cantly to europe’s strong growth ?gures. Norway, which is not an EU member but has observer status, strengthed in numbers relative to the Euro area with numbers of Norweigian moose, known locally as elk” expected to rise
The Architect’s: News:paper 31 OCT 2013 for the tenth consecutive year, particularly thanks to a strong showing in the last quarter. As moose season reaches its close, researchers world wide are turning to science in an attempt to boost next year’s ?gures. NASA stunned the scienti?c community today with the announcment of their discovery that the moon is signi?cantly smaller than previously believed. This conclusion, which is the conclusion of a tenyear collaborative project, will have profound implications for the moose community as the gravitational ?eld is now known to be of the right strength to support moose in orbit. According to John Johnson, head of the NASA Moon Sizing Experiment the ?rst delivery of moose into low moon orbit could be achieved as early as the third quarter of next year. The technology to nurture moose in space is available now”, he said, ”all that is needed is political will”. Granny wins World Wrestling Championship By ROY MCROYSTON Records were smashed in Nicaragua’s World Wrestling Championship last night as 78-year-old Maud Johnson, grandmother of ?ve, became the ?rst woman for ?fty-six years, and the oldest competitor ever, to claim the gold medal. She walked away with her million dollar share of the prize money, runner up Tommy Thompson from Nigeria taking half a million, and third place New Zealander John Smith receiving a warm handshake from the umpire. Having started the tournament a rank outsider she began to impress in her second match when she took US number three Ron Ronson by surprise and subdued him in twenty seconds with her unique move that has been dubbed "Maud’s Death Grip". The injection of a new wrestling style into the tournament was welcomed by spectators and Johnson’s pre- and post-match breakdances have proved entertaining to fans. However, she was still not expected to win in round three last Wednesday, facing o? against title-holder Paulo "SpineSnapper" Lutti, of Vatican City. Underdog Johnson was soon showing her worth with stamina and agility easily matching last year’s winner. Lutti’s experience paid o? initially as he took the ?rst two rounds, but as Johnson became more con?dent her superior strength came to the fore and she clawed back two rounds to take the contest into a decider. By this time Lutti’s body language indicated that he already felt overawed by the pretender to his crown, and the newcomer took advantage of this to engage a mutual headlock which she held for three hours until the Vatican man retired from exhaustion. The next seven matches were barely a contest as the news of Johnson’s supremacy overawed all her opponents who became too indimidated to ?ght properly. Nigerian Tommy Thompson is also a relative newcomer to the 2 wrestling scene, but with his 210lb frame he was expected to fare well against Johnson who weighs in at only 90lb. However Johnson’s lithe and slender, some would say scrawny, ?gure belies her agility and strength which she demonstrated by holding Thompson above her head several times during the bout and throwing him into the crowd once. With the scores tied at 2-2 time ran out and the contest went to a panel of judges to be assessed. They awarded Thompson a C grade whilst Johnson received an A, becoming the ?rst grandmother to ever win the title. The new champion explained her success as the result of a strict training regimen instituted by her coach and grandson ?ve-year-old Sammy Johnson. "I’ve been drinking ten raw eggs for breakfast every morning, sprinting ?fty miles a day and carrying my daughter’s car to the end of the road and back whenever I felt my arthritis was OK" she said. Sammy added "I always knew she could do it. She’s my grandma.". The youngster is also her manager and has reportedly arranged sponsorship deals which will dwarf her one million dollar prize fund. Her new contract with headband designer Nike alone is set to earn her fourteen billion dollars over the next year. She will also be promoting Tupperware, Halliburton, the Republic of Macedonia, and Gala Bingo. Her continued participation in the sport is not assured as she wants to spend more time on her bungeejumping business, and knitting. Everyone here at the World Championships, however, hopes for her return.
