[Reporter : w:slim] A brother and sister team from Argentina has decided to put a little fashion into old tires.
Every major city in the world has thousands of tires on their way to the garbage dump.
But these two designers want to put the tires on a little detourto the fashion runways as handbags‚ purses‚ belts and other accessories.
The two first started making belts from the innertubes of car tires when they wanted to experiment with recycled goods.
Debora and Robert Piwnica founded Neumatica which means 'tire' in Spanish in 2004.
Their tires come from cars‚ trucks‚ bicycles and buses.
No parts are wasted.
Even parts with patches and valves are visible to give their designs a more authentic feel.
Roberto says his designs are a small contribution to recycle some of the more than 100‚000 tons of tires that are disposed of in Argentina each year.
The tires are cleaned brushed waxed and polished before the design duo transforms the pieces together.
The two say the wear and tear on each tire makes each work a one of a kind.
The two won the Puro Diseno award in 2008 and exhibited at Berlin FashionWeek in 2009.
If you see a robot scout and a lumbering man dressed in a sealed helmet walking teh Iraqi desert know that the visual symbolizes one of the most dangerous jobs on earth.
US forces are training Iraqi military officials on bomb disposal and introducing them to new technology that will help local troops boost their defense shields against daily bomb attacks.
The US is hoping new bomb disposal robots will lessen risks to Iraq security members.
According to bomb expert First Lieutenant Clay Kirkpatrick sound judgment is key when dealing with explosives.
That involves working well with your hands and thinking clearly under pressure.
That can be hard when wearing a helmet in the hot Iraqi son.
The training exercises were conducted at one of the biggest US miliatary bases in Iraq located north of Baghdad.
Violence has fallen sharply in Iraq since the 2003 US-led invasion.
However bombs remain a deadly killer in the region.
Last month‚ a bomb disposal accident killed 11 Iraqi troops in Northern Iraq.
Germany hosted the 5th World Rubik's Cube Championship in Dusseldorf with contestants young and old competing for the title in 'speed cubing'.
Approximately 450 participants from 40 countries gathered to play many versions of the game.
4x4x4 is a contest involving a cube that has 16 squares on each side.
The classic game is 3x3x3 with nine squares on each side.
Fans may remember their first cube from the 1980s when the toy became a pop culture phenomenon.
Syuhei Omra from Japan won the 4x4x4 competition. The 18 year-old was able to finish the cube in 45.18 seconds.
Twelve year old Durben John Virtucio from the Philippines completed the 3x3x3 in 8.78 seconds.
The winners won medals as well as portions of prize money at a value of 20‚000 euro.
