The Japanese toy line Konapun includes scale model kitchens that people can use to make food. In the past, the food has been fake. But the company also manufactures a stove so realistic that you can cook a proper, albeit very small, meal on it.
In this video, YouTube member AAAjoken prepares scrambled eggs, sausage, and coffee using Konapun utensils and a stove. He serves them on two plates and cups on a tiny kotatsu — via Youtube

To many of you, this may look like just another building created in the popular Café Corner
style. But to those of us that were creatures of the Eighties, it’s immediately recognisable as Flynn’s, the videogame arcade featured in the 1982 pre-cyberspace pre-Matrix movie TRON.
Using fluorescent bricks and black light, Joel Baker has managed to impart his creation with the neon look and feel of the original. It has a complete interior featuring all manner of vintage arcade machines, and even the secret doorway that appeared in the 2010 follow-up TRON Legacy — via The Brothers Brick

One minute a possum was settling in for an afternoon nap. The next it was staring head first down the belly of a 3m python.
Photographer Jasmine Kerr captured the moment a coastal carpet python digested a possum on her family’s horse property at Gunalda near Gympie on Wednesday.
Ms Kerr was moving horses with her family about 2pm when something caught her eye.
She’s no stranger to snakes, but this was something she’d never seen before.
We were just coming out of our driveway. I own snakes so it wasn’t too horrifying for me, but my mum crapped herself,
she said.
It would’ve taken him probably 25 to 30 minutes to eat the whole possum.
I never see wild snakes and you especially don’t see them eating

Australian scientists say a particular strain of probiotics could offer a possible cure for people with potentially fatal peanut allergies.
Researchers from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne gave 60 children who are allergic to peanuts either a probiotic along with a small dose of peanut protein or a placebo.
Lead researcher Associate Professor Mimi Tang said more than 80 per cent of children who received the protein and probiotic were able to tolerate peanuts without any allergic symptoms at the end of the trial.
This is 20 times higher than the natural rate of resolution for peanut allergy,
she said.
Twenty-three of the 28 children who received the probiotic with the peanut protein were able to eat peanuts after the study.
The effect lasted for two to five weeks after treatment.
The strain of probiotic used in the study was Lactobacillus rhamnosus — via redwolf.newsvine.com

to kits—sort of like Netflix’s suggested section, except for knitting and crochet — via Cool Hunting

Figures suggest one of the country’s largest training colleges had just 19 students graduate from any of its courses in a single year, reigniting concerns about the training sector.
Data on the Government’s MySkills website showed Evocca College enrolled almost 14,000 students in 2012 but just 19 graduated.
The company has disputed the figures but others have suggested the numbers support ongoing concerns about some players in the training industry.
In particular, criticism focused on the recruitment practices of companies which sometimes targeted disadvantaged students.
Such students often struggled to cope with high-level course content and dropped out, leaving them with hefty government training loans and no qualification.
Evocca College was one of the training market leaders with almost 40 campuses around Australia.
In a statement, Evocca said the MySkills figures were wrong and many hundreds of students graduated out of 2,770 enrolments in 2012, with its graduate rates at or above industry average.
It said not all students dropped out and many went on to work or other training — via redwolf.newsvine.com
