Churchgoers are used to the sound of coins clinking in the collection basket but one small congregation in the German town of Leer is now allowing people to contribute by card too. Worshippers no longer have to have their coins and banknotes ready but can use their bank cards to make donations at the Protestant Reformed Church in the Loga district. It was quite a novelty, especially at the start, says Pastor Ingo Brookmann. Rather than a collection plate, basket or bag, a small red plastic device is passed from one person to the next - just like the ones at shops' cash registers. The German ch...

It's coffee break time at the packed event venue in the western German city of Duisburg. Participants sip hot beverages while discussing astrophysics and philosophical paradoxes. Before heading to a lecture on radioactivity or Korean writing, some manage to squeeze in a 1,000-piece puzzle. As you might have guessed, this isn't just any ordinary conference. To be able to attend this annual meeting, you must have an IQ of at least 130. Besides excursions in the surrounding Ruhrgebiet area, Germany's former industrial heartland, this year's edition includes numerous lectures and workshops, includ...

When you picture the vibrant metropolis on the Thames, one conjures up images of colourful lights and non-stop activity until the early morning. London's Soho and Covent Garden districts are considered dream locations for many tourists in search of nightlife hotspots. But the reality is quite different these days. As theatregoers spill out onto the streets in the evening looking for a midnight snack, those hoping for a nightcap are often disappointed. An open pub in London is hard to find at this time of night. The Evening Standard newspaper recently asked its readers in despair: "When was the...

The brown, eyeless beetle was named after Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler - and is very popular with certain collectors because of its name. There are several examples of animals with controversial designations. Another bone of contention is on display at Berlin's Museum für Naturkunde (Natural History Museum) - the dinosaur Dysalotosaurus lettowvorbecki, named after Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, who was involved i...
