风筝的视线：泰姬陵 |
| Nicholas Chorier, a kite photography expert, is casting new light on famous buildings, such as the Taj Mahal and Udaipur City Palace, the Daily Telegraph reported. The 47-year-old French photographer makes his own kites using siliconized nylon and carbon sticks, and ties his image equipment in a small cradle dangling from the kite. |
法国摄影师尼古拉·肖利叶是“风筝摄影”专家。他的作品用全新的角度展现了泰姬陵和乌代浦宫殿等一些著名建筑。据英国《每日电讯报》报道，这名47岁的摄影师自己用涂硅尼龙和碳纤维杆制作风筝，然后把摄影器材安置在风筝下的一个吊篮里。 |
| Chorier uses a remote control to move the cradle and camera into the best position to take the picture and check the images with a portable TV screen. "From above it's a completely new vision, new perspectives, new ways to understand the landscape and heritage," he said. "Every place has something interesting to show from above." |
肖利叶使用遥控装置调整吊篮和相机的位置进行拍摄，并用一个便携式的电视屏幕查看照片。“自上而下能给你一个完全新颖的视野和角度，以及了解风景和文化遗产的新方式，”他说，“鸟瞰任何一处都有奇妙的发现。” |

| A magnet lady |
有磁性的女人 |
| For Brenda Allison, her mysterious power in which metallic objects can stick to her body has long since lost its attraction, the Daily Mail reported. Dubbed 'the human magnet', Allison says she is often embarrassed by the effect, in which coins, magnets, spanners and even a metal lid from a Vaseline pot can stay on her body for up to 45 minutes without falling off. |

| When she was a child, she said, her parents stopped buying her watches because her magnetic field kept interfering with the timing mechanism. Her body has set off car alarms, interrupted the TV signal and blown out light bulbs. She says her body can emit a negative or positive charge, depending on the time of the month. |
她表示，当她还是个孩子时，父母就不再给她买手表，因为她体内的磁场会干扰手表装置使其不准。她的磁性身体曾触发过汽车报警器、扰乱过电视信号、烧断过电灯泡的灯丝。她说她的身体能在每月的不同时间释放出负电荷或者正电荷。
