Royal baby now has a name

Dubai's 828-meter Burj Khalifa has less than a year left as the world's tallest building. Why? Because China's projected 838-meter Sky City broke ground in Changsha in central China on July 20. Astonishingly, the construction company behind it expects to top out in April 2014 - a build time of just 10 months, a lot less than the five years it took to build the Burj Khalifa. Fast construction claims from Broad Group, the Changsha-based construction company in charge of the build, have elicited strong reactions from China's "netizens," as well as experts. But the building would appear to herald a new age in Chinese construction, one in which tall, fast builds become common. It's already difficult to keep track of China's tallest building announcements. But enough about that because a better announcement has been made: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have named their new bundle of joy. The tot "will be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge," according to Clarence House, the official residence of heirs to the throne. As well as ruling the United Kingdom, George Alexander Louis could one day be king of 15 other commonwealth countries that have the British monarch as head of state if none change their constitution in the meantime. These fifteen include Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Belize, and Jamaica.
