A cartoon character from a Buddhist temple in Beijing has been making waves online. But Xian’er the monk is no ordinary two-dimensional comic strip – he’s a walking, talking, 24-inch high robot who can chant, answer questions and interact with his surroundings.
Xian’er the robot monk is not the first high-tech solution to Buddhist teachings from Longquan Temple. The institution is staffed by monks who operate computers and smart phones along with their prayer beads and singing bowls. His creator, Master Xianfan joined the temple after graduating from China’s most prestigious art school – the Central Academy of Fine Arts

“One of my earliest boxing memories is sitting on the ring apron at the Repton Boxing Club watching my older brothers train. Sitting there, ringside with my Dad, I couldn't wait for it to be my turn. By the time I was old enough to start training I already knew how to hold my hands in the correct position and throw a number of combinations (my brothers had shown me how and I practiced at every opportunity!). I remember my first fight. I was 11 years old. Sitting in the dressing room, there were about 15 other young boxers getting ready too. Everyone was asking each other, who are you fighting, who are you fighting. There was this one big guy sitting in the corner wrapping his hands. Someone asked him, Hey, who are you fighting, Someone called A. Lee he said with a shrug. That's when I knew I was in for a rough night! As I stood in the corridor before my ring entrance, my stomach was in knots, to say I was nervous would've been an understatement! Walking to the ring, I looked across at my family, the whole clan had turned out to support me. I remember thinking to myself, I don't care how big this guy is I’m not losing this fight! Anyway, to cut a long story short, I won the fight and many more after that.” Visit Andy on MOLI.com

On 2 November 2014, Nik Wallenda, the “King of the Highwire”, now 9-time World Record holder and JEANRICHARD ambassador, crossed the skyline of the windy city of Chicago for Discovery’s Skyscraper Live with Nik Wallenda. The Chicago riverfront was filled with over 65 000 excited spectators and press from all over the world, who followed Wallenda’s every step on the tightrope. During the 8 minutes and 09 seconds adventure, Wallenda was accompanied by his newly revealed JEANRICHARD Terrascope special edition timepiece featuring a bezel that was inspired by the cross-section of his wire.

http://bit.ly/SteveTheRobot Meet Steve the Robot. Steve is sad because he is made up of old technology. He is being replaced by the shiny new high definition technology of the i-Can Easy HD Freeview box. Steve is sad to be replaced by HD, but glad that he can enjoy his retirement watching more free-to-air channels, as well as the potential to add premium sport or movie channels.
Steve also hopes that if he tries really hard, one day he too could be as popular as the i-Can Easy HD. http://bit.ly/SteveTheRobot
This is a song written by Kayla Riley and she wrote it about Michael Smiley and the lyrics are below:
Walking around school all sad and glum
Because last night you didn\'t get some
All you do is sit around and pout
Because your boyfriend never puts out
Little virgin man
No woman can stand
Forever alone
You\'ll never get boned
Little virgin man
No woman can stand
You might as well be gay
That\'s all I can say
Now your by yourself once again
All the years you\'ll be alone; lets count by ten
Your only lover is your hand
Sitting down or you can stand
Little virgin man
All short and stout
You\'ll get laid, yeah that\'s a doubt
Little virgin man
No woman in sight
You might as well put on some really tight tights
Looking around all lame and gay
To get a woman you\'ll have to pray
Always in your loose sweat pants
I know why...
It\'s easier to use your hand
Little virgin man
The time will pass
When you will finally get some ass
Not from a woman, not from a man
Only from yourself; you\'re your biggest fan
Little virgin man
You\'re filled with strife
Well welcome to Michael Smiley\'s life!
