THE tragic death of a 25-year-old Russian woman from unknown causes earlier this year has led to a unique memorial.
Rita Shameeva looks to have been a fairly typical modern woman in these social media-connected days, with her relatives commemorating her life with a gigantic iPhone (pictured).
The 1.5m edifice is now standing in a Moscow cemetery and features an image of the deceased.
Few details of her life are available, but she was apparently a keen traveller and selfie-taker.
there's been a landmark DUI prosecution in Los Angeles, where a man has been fined for riding an electric scooter while intoxicated.
The city's chief legal officer confirmed the case against 28-year-old Nicholas Kauffroath was the first motorised scooter driving under the influence case in the city.
The hipster allegedly had a blood alcohol level of more than three times the legal limit last month when he knocked over a 64-year-old pedestrian.
He pleaded no contest to operating a motorised scooter under the influence, as well as a hit-and-run offence.
An internet comment on the Yahoo News! report quipped "If you don't like the way I drive, stay off the sidewalk".
