_godzilla-and-kong-have-come-to-town.jpg "It might look like something from a movie, but your eyes don't deceive you – Godzilla and Kong are lurking in London.<br/><br/>Godzilla’s bristling pink spikes, brimming with atomic power, were seen poking up from the river Thames next to Kong's giant hand, crushing an iconic London red phone box on Southbank.<br/><br/>The giant titan’s spine stretches an impressive 65 feet, the length of a tennis court.<br/><br/>Kong's hand is a mammoth 16 feet tall, with a head seven metres in diameter – 45 times that of a human.<br/><br/>A team of 40 worked around the clock to create the two sculptures, spending a colossal 6,326 hours over two months.<br/><br/>And it took 51 days just to paint the two giant beasts, which collectively weigh more than a tonne.<br/><br/>The city-smashing installation was created to launch Warner Bros. Pictures’ new movie “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire”, released on Friday 29th March.<br/><br/>The sculptures were fabricated from 3D references from the filmmakers, built in a combination of poly, fibreglass and steel framework, as well as interactive lighting.<br/><br/>Godzilla contains over 70 individual pulsing pink lights to achieve the atomic effect, a spectacular addition in the new film, which sees him team up with Kong as a greater threat to earth materialises. <br/><br/>Kong is covered in over 30 metres of fur, to create a hyper-realistic finish.<br/><br/>Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire filmmaker Adam Wingard said: “A lot of the magic of the Monsterverse comes from watching these Titans battling it out in real world surroundings. <br/><br/>“To see Godzilla and Kong actually accessing Hollow Earth portals into London just really blew me away! I felt like I did as a kid, watching the Toho classics on a Saturday afternoon.”<br/><br/>The giant beasts will be available to see beneath London’s OXO Tower – temporarily rebranded the GXK Tower, for today only (Monday), ahead of the film’s release in cinemas across the UK and Ireland from Friday 29th March.")

![Almost nine in 10 Americans believe that karma is real.<br/><br/>That’s according to a survey of 2,000 U.S. adults which revealed that 84% buy into the idea that what goes around comes around. Perhaps inspired by that notion, another 84% say they will go out of their way to “pay it forward” whenever possible. <br/><br/>Results also revealed, however, that bad karma has made its rounds and Americans attribute bad relationships (34%), losing something (27%) and arguments with others (27%) to it.<br/><br/>Whatever the reason, whether it's to get their cosmic energy on track or general human nature, Americans report they are paying it forward in all kinds of ways. The survey showed that “paying it forward” most often includes treating their loved ones to something special (50%), giving generous tips (48%) and helping out a neighbor, such as carrying their groceries or helping them shovel snow (46%).<br/><br/>It also includes donating money to organizations or charities (40%), volunteering their time to help out friends and family (38%) and supporting small or locally owned businesses (35%).<br/><br/>Results showed that the average American engages in five generous acts per week, totaling 260 random acts of kindness each year.<br/><br/>Beyond the mysterious karma-related benefits, these acts of paying it forward have real effects on more than those in the receiving end — Americans feel better about themselves (49%), their life overall (37%) and feel more confident (22%) when they’re able to do so.<br/><br/>Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of banking app Chime, the survey also found that the top three ways Americans define “generosity” include “going out of your way to help someone else” (68%), “giving your time” (54%) and “paying it forward” (40%).<br/><br/>When asked the biggest generous acts they’ve done for someone else, respondents outlined scenarios like, “[I] opened my home for friend to move in during a health crisis,” “I overheard a waitress discussing some unexpected bills she was worried about covering so left her a $200 tip,” or even “I went to Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina to work on restoring houses.”<br/><br/>With that, almost three-quarters (72%) of Americans consider themselves to be generous, despite less than half (43%) currently feeling financially secure. <br/><br/>Respondents feel the rest of the United States has some work to do and does not match their own personal approach to generosity, with 42% saying the country is not generous.<br/><br/>“These survey results highlight the generous spirit in our country, regardless of what they think about the world around them or their current financial situation. Despite only 43% feeling financially secure, results found that almost two-thirds (65%) are likely to ‘keep the chain going’ and pay for the food of the person behind them in a drive-thru, if someone else paid for theirs,” said Sara El-Amine, Vice President of Community at Chime. “We’re encouraged to see that the ‘pay it forward’ spirit is alive and well in this country, despite some of the current economic challenges everyday people are facing.”<br/><br/>Americans are most likely to pay it forward whenever the mood strikes (43%). Others are influenced by a good mood (24%), after someone else does something nice for them (18%) or even when a loved one is celebrating a milestone (13%).<br/><br/>No matter what triggers it, results also found that Americans are more than five times more likely to find that their spirits are lifted more when they’re able to help someone else out than when someone else helps them out (72% vs 13%).<br/><br/>Looking toward the future, an astounding 83% of respondents believe that they’d be even more generous if they were more financially secure.<br/><br/>Financial security and progress looks different for everyone, but two in five (38%) say that financial progress means being able to treat their family and friends or being able to donate to charity (30%).<br/><br/>“Feeling good about your finances can mean more than just adding commas to your bank account.
