Art is like perfume, it is personal, and a way to make a statement. At home, art becomes a way to enhance the living space by highlighting a theme for a décor, a style, or promoting an overall mood in the décor. Art has evolved with time. Now, people have many choices to decorate their home and include their personal touch in the walls. Portraits used to be an expensive way in which people would include their family in the art to adorn the walls, as well as present their heritage and lineage with pride. Today, families can do the same and have portrait of their loved ones as art through a method known as canvas printing or photo to canvas. Canvas prints use a favorite photograph or picture and it is replicated in the canvas through new technology. People can personalize their art in the way they wish by utilizing pictures of loved ones, pets, and any other favorite image to enhance their living space. The result is a more realistic and natural look than that of old portraits.

Police say it’s remarkable no one was killed when a massive concrete slab collapsed at a demolition site in the Sydney CBD yesterday evening.

Three pedestrians received minor injuries when the collapse caused debris and scaffolding from the work site to blow out on to the footpath on Pitt Street just after 4pm.

More than 20 workers on the site, where the old Greater Union cinema stood, were lucky to escape unharmed, police said.

It is not yet known what caused the collapse but the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union says a worker was operating an excavator on the site when he felt the slab beneath him vibrate strangely.

“We had a worker operating a machine on a 20 metre by 20 metre slab, he felt some rumbles on the slab, he felt the slab was about to go,” CFMEU assistant state secretary Brian Parker said.

“The slab did eventually go and when it went he rode it down in the machine.

“He had enough time to brace himself which was lucky.”

Mr Parker called on state and federal governments to set up a taskforce to investigate worksite problems.

City Central local area commander, Superintendent Mick Fuller, said the timing and location of the accident meant that many more people could have been hurt.

“We’re very lucky that no one was killed,” Superintendent Fuller said.

A 24-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with murder after a Sydney CBD brawl which left one person dead.

Van Chi Dang, 31, died from brain injuries after the fight outside the Star Hotel during the early hours of May 23.

The 24-year-old from Baulkham Hills, in Sydney’s northwest, handed himself into City Central police station yesterday afternoon.

He was charged with murdering Dang and is due to appear at Central Local Court this morning.

A number of men were involved in the fight, at the corner of Sussex and Goulburn streets, which left Mr Dang motionless on the footpath.

Police arrested three people at the scene, charging one with affray (not linked to Mr Dang’s injuries) and releasing the other two without charge.

The victim’s brother, Van Thoi Dang, joined police appeals to catch the person responsible, saying his brother had loved life and was a bit of a “smart arse” but not a violent man.

A Sydney man has been jailed for at least 13 years, for murdering a Korean teenager in the city’s CBD.

20-year-old Michael Lee pleaded guilty to killing Joon Yup Lee, in March 2008.

Lee and a co-offender chased the victim into a laneway, where he was beaten with a hammer and stabbed.

Lee was been sentenced to a maximum 19 years prison.
