Incredible sculptures of dino-straws
ARTISTS can go at any length to create something outstanding. Just like Amy Goda who used leftover rice straws and weaved around wooden frames to create huge sculptures. Amy’s current sculpture muse is dinosaurs, as she created two amazing and huge pieces of art. The sculptures can be found at Uwasekigata Park in Niigata City’s Nishikan Ward, Japan.
A baby without brain
TWO-YEAR-OLD Aaron Murray become nothing short of a miracle after he was born without a brain. When Aaron was born, doctors told his mother that there was no way he could survive as he only had the tiniest part of a brain.
Unlike other organs which could have been replaced, doctors could do nothing to replace a missing brain. Aaron was born with a rare condition known as holoprosencephaly, which means he was born with only a brain stem and not a full brain.
Despite doctors expecting him to live only a few minutes, Aaron has proved to be a real fighter and recently stunned everyone by speaking his first word ‘mummy’ at the age of two! Way to go Aaron! n
