Read MoreThe owner of Harry's Bar, a Venetian bar and restaurant frequented by Ernest Hemingway, has filed a legal complaint demanding city authorities do more to stop boats speeding through canals and causing damaging high waves. Venice has long been threatened by flooding and "moto ondoso", the erosion of its buildings by waves. To try and limit the waves, strict speed limits apply to boats within its waters of between 5 to 20 kilometres per hour. FILE PHOTO: Harry's Bar is pictured in Venice, Italy. REUTERS/Fabrizio Bensch Harry's Bar owner Arrigo Cipriani says the speed limits are often ignored and poorly enforced, however.

Read MoreA flotilla of hot air balloons ascended into a clear desert sky on Saturday to kick off a colorful mass ascension at the 52nd annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The nine-day gathering draws hundreds of thousands of spectators and pilots to New Mexico each fall for the rare opportunity to be within arm’s reach as the giant balloons are unpacked and inflated.

Read MoreThe Dodo, the famous flightless bird that inhabited the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius, is a case study in extinction caused by humans. The Dodo, finely adapted to its isolated ecosystem but unprepared for the arrival of people, was first encountered by Dutch sailors in 1598. Hunting, habitat destruction and the introduction of non-native species doomed it in under 80 years. It is hardly alone. New research has documented the extinction of 610 bird species over the past 130,000 years, coinciding with the global spread of our species Homo sapiens, an avian crisis that has only accelerated in recent years and decades. For instance, the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō, a Hawaiian songbird, was declared extinct just last year. The researchers also revealed the ecological consequences, as the disappea...
Read MoreUntil Spain’s La Sagrada Familia Basilica’s “Tower of Jesus Christ” is done, anyway The Ulmer Münster in southern Germany is the world’s tallest church. For now, anyway. The Gothic-style Lutheran church’s reign — begun in May 31, 1890 — could end in 2025, when La Sagrada Familia Basilica’s “Tower of Jesus Christ” in Spain is set to be completed.
