A new island suddenly emerges off the coast of Germany and Denmark

A hook-shaped land, which is 34 acres long, has emerged from the North Sea, off the coast of Germany and Denmark. The new island is now home to more than 50 plant species and a variety of sea birds. The land mass didn’t exist 10 years ago. However, it gradually emerged from the stormy waters of the North Sea over the past few years. The German government are protecting the plucky island and will limit public access to the area. I hope that I will visit the island someday. I love traveling. I also love taking photos of beautiful places where I have been. I often share the photos on We Heart It and my friends always like them.

New color is added to the weather map to depict extreme heat in Australia

It's going to be a rough week in Australia, where the country’s Bureau of Meteorology had to add a new color to weather forecasting map, extending the range to 54ºC, or 129ºF, from the previous cap of 50ºC, or 122ºF. The new, deeper purple “dome of heat” swirls above South Australia, indicating temperatures above 50ºC in some areas. This last Monday was the country's hottest day on record nationwide, with average maximum temperatures around the country of 40.33 degrees, and officials expect more to come. A seven-day record-breaking heat-wave has led to a mass outbreak of fires across the country and in the most populous state of New South Wales, the official fire danger rating is "catastrophic”. Fire fighters have been battling more than 140 fast-moving wildfires in Australia. The extreme heat conditions this week were expected to replicate those of 2009, when “Black Saturday” wildfires in the state of Victoria killed 173 people and caused billions of dollars worth of damage.

Mother alerted by cat finds python wrapped around 2-year-old daughter

In a scene straight out of a horror movie, Tess Guthrie, Australia, woke up to find her 2-year old daughter, Zara, wrapped up in a python. The 22-year-old mom was sleeping in bed next to her toddler daughter when she was woken by her cat, Duchess, hissing at around 3:30 a.m, Sunday and saw a terrifying sight, the enormous python wound three times around her daughter's arm. “I couldn't believe it ... at the same time I was freaking out at what I was seeing I realised what the cat had been carrying on about for days," the young Mom said yesterday. At first she thought it was a dream but soon realised the terrible fact, Guthrie grabbed the snake by the head to try to peel it away from her child, which caused the reptile to bite Zara three times on her left hand. After being taken to the hospital, Zara was treated and released from Lismore Base Hospital with no major injuries. Meanwhile, the python was captured by and released back into the wild.

An overweight prisoner wedges in wall during prison break

A Brazilian prisoner wedged in his getaway hole in a wall while he was trying to escape a jail in the Brazilian state of Goias late on Monday night (December 3, 2012). The tattooed and bald convict and his accomplice used a metal pipe ripped from a shower to smash a hole through the concrete wall to squeeze his way out. However, his attempt ended in humiliation because his belly stopped him making his break for freedom. The overweight inmate got stuck midway, half his body touching freedom, and his legs and middle stuck back in the prison. Firefighters were later called by guards to free the unnamed prisoner. "He has a very large physique and is also very tall," Lieutenant Tiago Costa of the local fire brigade said. "The other prisoners tried to push him but he stayed stuck in the wall. He started screaming in pain, and that was when the prison guards were alerted." The prisoner was then taken to hospital with a suspected broken rib under police protection.

Kristen Stewart wasn't looking for a relationship

It's true. Instead of a young guy like Robert Pattinson, she picked a guy who is married. Her romantic liaisons with director Sanders, which was reported with intimate photos on celebrity news outlets, shocked Twilight fans and put the trio in a publicly awkward situation. If you are a married man, you should take to your Twitter account and ask the Twilight actress for a date. Or maybe, you should add her as Friend on Facebook and hope she will let you kiss her body.

Ann Curry says goodbye to the Today show

Ann Curry, in an interview on Wednesday with USA Today, confirmed the news she will step down as co-host of NBC's "Today" show Thursday morning.

It's "going to be a bit of a tough day," the 55-year-old news anchor told USA TODAY in a 40-minute phone interview Wednesday, sounding as though she were fighting back tears. Speculation about Curry's departure has been building for months, especially since April, when ABC's show "Good Morning America" beat "Today" in total viewers for the first time in 16 years after nibbling away at "Today's" lead for nearly a year. However, Curry rejects the notion she's responsible for the ratings slip that threatens Today's long dominance on morning TV. Curry's new multi-year contract with NBC will see her leading a unit covering major news stories around the world, as well as filling in as an anchor on "Nightly News" when required, USA Today reported. Many media observers have said that Curry would be better out in the field as a reporter. Do you agree with them? Share with us your thoughts on Twitter and Google+ now.

Wow, Microsoft paid $1.2 billion for a Facebook-style social networking

Software giant Microsoft has agreed to acquire Yammer, a social network service for businesses, for US$1.2 billion in cash, a deal rumored to be in the works for the past week-and-a-half.

Yammer, which is four years old, allows companies to build their private social networks, where workers can chat, shares files and collaborate on projects, away from the prying eyes of outsiders. It has co-opted many of the basic concepts familiar through Facebook to create a more business-friendly social networking service. It can improve the way employees communicate and collaborate, leading to increased productivity and efficiency, by complementing traditional applications like instant messaging and email.

The area of internal networking for companies has attracted other big tech companies such as Cisco Systems Inc, which has a similar offering to Yammer called WebEx Social, and International Business Machine Corp with a rival product called Connections.
