Last Friday, the Internet received an ultimate dose of cuteness when the video of a baby polar bear sleeping with her stuffed Moose was posted online by the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Powell, Ohio. Sadly, the cub was abandoned by her mother, so the zoo’s staff is now taking care of her.
The zoo’s press release stated that the mother was too depressed to take care of her baby after the death of her other cub. Nevertheless, the zoo’s staff is doing their best to take care of her 24/7. The cutie pie is 5 weeks old and doing very well.

ou might remember Elizabeth Marek, of the Portland, Oregon-based Artisan Cake Company, from the “Visual Guide to Cake Decorating” book she published last year. Now, Marek is back with another project: the lumberjack cake!
“When hubs chopped down that Christmas tree all lumberjack like, my obsession with plaid became clear,” Marek wrote on her website. “I’m in love with lumberjacks. It makes sense. I love trees. I love beards. I love plaid. This lumberjack cake is a culmination of almost all my obsessions. If I could have worked in a mermaid I would have.”
Unfortunately, if you want to know how to make this cake, you’ll have to sign up on her Sugar Geek Show website or become one of her patrons on Patreon. But if you’re not afraid of Communism.

Today, Ascot Racecourse unveiled a new festive ‘foursie’ – a seasonal onesie that was created for Shetland pony, Daffy, to help him keep warm this Christmas.
“In winter I always worry about Daffy getting chilly as he likes to spend so much time out of his stable,” said owner Jackie Rowberry.
“I love the fact that Ascot has created a special foursie for Daffy so that he can get into the Christmas spirit. He’s loved all the attention and is quite the envy among his stable buddies!”.

by STEVEC Here at 4AllFails, we do nothing but bring you the biggest and best (or should that be ‘biggest andworst‘?) fails from across the world. Most of the time those fails befall regular Joe Idiots like you or me. But fails don’t respect anything or anyone. A fail can affect anyone at any time. And celebrities aren’t immune from them, either. You’re about to witness fifteen massive bloopers from the rich and famous. Hey, hopefully they’ll make us all feel better about ourselves. Let’s hope so, anyway. There’s nothing like a bit of schadenfreude for catharsis, is there?
Being a celebrity is a busy lifestyle, no doubt. There’s plenty to do and you’re expected to constantly be working and promoting and making money. So they don’t always have time to do things. Like tanning. Who has time to get a little sunbathing in when you’ve an album to record and a movie to give interviews about? So we can understand why Christina Aguilera feels the need to fake tan. But she really needs to rub that stuff in.
Jonah Hill is famed for two things – being a funny movie star and being a man who balloons and drops weight like no one’s business. So you can probably see why Jonah’s got a tear in the trouser region. Too much stress from a chunky leg, then weight loss, then repeat. Stitching can only take so much. But c’mon, man! You can afford a new pair. It’s a movie premiere, after all…

bySTEVEC The big bad world of sports is one of pretty fine margins. It doesn’t take much to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It doesn’t take much to go from winning and being the best to losing and going home empty handed to the sound of boos from the crowd. A brief lapse of concentration or bad luck and you’re in Failsville. What can you do about it? Not much. So when it comes to things you can control as a sportsman? Make sure you DO control them… We’re talking about things like the sporting clothes you wear. There’s no excuse for these dreadful sporting clothes fails… Here are fifteen absolutely shocking examples of what we’re talking about…
This Asian figure skating couple will rue the day they decided to go shopping down at the thrift store for stockings. The hole in this pair are bringing a fair amount of embarrassment on them. What with a couple of million people probably watching them at home. Look, wardrobe malfunctions come a lot worse, so don’t feel too bad for them. But do learn a lesson – it’s always worth spending a couple of bucks more of things you need to last. Otherwise it’s a false economy.
Whoever was awarded the job of designing the uniforms for this women’s cycling team is clearly not au fait with the anatomy of the human female. Or they’re just rubbish designers, one of the two. Who would opt for a flesh-colored mid-section that makes it look as though the girls have decided to all expose themselves at the exact time time, unashamedly…? This is one massive sporting clothes fail right here. For shame.
The world of women’s 7-on-7 tackle American football has one league. It’s called the ‘LFL’ – the ‘Legends Football League’. But that’s a fairly new name. It’s old moniker? The much more enticing, yet much more sexist, ‘Lingerie Football League’. At least with its old name you kinda knew what to expect. It was a game seemingly designed to encourage wardrobe malfunctions. And not many people complained. Well, okay, some people did. The spoilsports.

In a bid to make people walk more, a London-based startup is introducing a new app that pays people in digital currency based on the number of steps taken per day. ‘Bitwalking’ will soon be available on Android and iOS users in the UK, Kenya, Malawi, and Japan.
Bitwalking’s currency units are called ‘Bitwalking dollars’ or BW$. Users need to walk a total of 10,000 steps (five miles) to earn BW0.91€, equivalent to 0.91€. The maximum money that can be earned per day is BW2.74€. The money earned can only be spent in the app’s inbuilt marketplace, or exchanged for real money.
According to the company’s website, Bitwalking will be most relevant in developing countries, where rural workers don’t earn more than a dollar a day. So by walking around with a tracker, they could potentially earn three times more. “We believe that everyone should have the freedom, the ability, to make money,” the website states. “A step is worth the same value for everyone – no matter who you are, or where you are. What matters is how much you walk.”
While the company hasn’t exactly explained how the app works, the mechanism is believed to be reliable enough to verify the exact number of steps made by the user. “With Bitwalking you simply generate money by walking,” the website explains. “The free app converts steps to Bitwalking dollars (BW$) that you can manage and use as you wish. The money you generate accumulates each day, and remains in your account until transferred or spent.”
“The Bitwalking Dollar is real money. This is not a rewarding system, points system, mileage system, game or fitness app.”
According to a BBC report, “The idea of Bitwalking is to take advantage of the trend of fitness trackers by offering an additional incentive to keep fit.” It’s a scheme, essentially, that plans to partner with sportswear brands and health services, insurance firms, environmental groups, and eventually, advertisers who stand to gain from more insights about the target audience. If it works, it could be an ideal win-win situation for users and companies.
Co-founders Nissan Bahar and Franky Imbesi have attracted over 9.13€ million in initial funding from Japanese investors to help launch the currency and set up a bank that verifies transfers. They hope that more online stores will accept Bitwalking dollars in the future. They claim that a few shoe brands have already expressed interest, but their names haven’t been revealed yet, and a UK bank is apparently ready to partner with Bitwalking at one of the nation’s biggest music festivals next year.
BBC points out a potential pitfall: “It is still not clear how a currency that appears to be so easy for users to produce could maintain its value, nor if the initial funding for the scheme will be sufficient to sustain it in the initial period while confidence in its value is being built up.” There are also concerns of privacy: “Because the new scheme necessarily tracks its users there will be data available that could be particularly valuable to advertisers – and accompanying concerns over privacy.”
However, Bahar insists that the data collected won’t be for sale. “We may explore offering advertisers the opportunity to focus on different groups depending on how active they are, but we won’t pass on any information relating to individual’s movements.”
