Voodoo Festival
18 jan 2013 06:18
The deified residents of the Temple of Pythons, when released to find food, sometimes slither across the road into a Catholic church that once hosted Pope Benedict XVI. The local priest, the snake handlers say, is always good enough to call or bring the gorging reptiles back to their own spiritual home. This is life in Ouidah, a mecca of spirits and gods worshipped by practitioners of Voodoo, a recognized religion in this former French colony in West Africa that is home to 9 million people. The religion has its own pope -- or two, depending on who you ask -- whose reign dates back to the 1400s and can be seen about town in his SUV. This past Thursday, local banks and the post office closed as the town celebrated its annual Voodoo Festival, an event increasingly drawing curious foreigners. With its mix of beliefs and traditions, the Voodoo practiced here shows both a clash of cultures and the ability for ancient traditional beliefs to adapt to modern life. Jean Zossoujbo, a guide at the Temple of Pythons, shows a python to a visitor to the temple in Ouidah, Benin, on Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2013.

1,000 Beautiful Bioluminescent Leaves Radiate at Night
18 jan 2013 00:25
Using her own resin and non-toxic phosphorescence concoction, artist Miya Ando has coated 1,000 leaves and set them afloat in a pond in Puerto Rico. We've seen bioluminescent bodies of water radiating a brilliant sapphire hue against the night sky in the past, but Ando takes this natural occurrence and manually transfers the luminous beauty of bioluminescence in her public art project titled Obon [Puerto Rico]. During the day, the leaves' layered skin absorbs sunlight energy, which translates at night into a gorgeous path of drifting blue lights.

Surreal Dreamers Wandering on Public Streets
18 jan 2013 00:22
Surreal Streets is a series by French photographer Julie de Waroquier that explores the way the modern dreamer's private aspirations merge with the unforgiving reality of public streets. Anonymity becomes more and more a distant part of history with each passing day as people are expected to share themselves and their goals on public grounds. The photographer says, "In our society, our private and personal identities are built in public spaces, especially in the streets, theatres of our lives… I [want] to show how someone can build his/her inner identity in a world in which almost everything is public."

Research Found PVC Plastic To Cause Excessive Fat Storage!
17 jan 2013 16:37

New research found that being exposed to PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic, commonly known as Vinyl can lead to fat storage predisposition. "The study published in Environmental Health Perspectives, exposed pregnant mice to (TBT) a chemical found in PVC plastic and marine hull paint". This resulted in children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of the mice to express fat specific genes, and retain fat in body and liver even though they weren't exposed to PVC. It's not known for sure that people react the same to the chemical yet, but the probabiliy is big. PVC can be found in food packaging, like meat, and cheese wraps, cookie and cereal boxes, candy wrappers, water bottles etc. as well as many boxes for electronics, toys and other devices.

The Mega Plane That Could Have Ended WWII
17 jan 2013 12:00

By the 1930s, the Russian army had only begun exploring the idea of large planes. At the time, the belief was that the aircraft should have as many propellers as possible in order to carry the massive metallic beast into the air (jet propulsion had not been discovered). Very few photos were salvaged from those top-secret times, but the recent re-discovery of this photograph assures us of the actual existance of the rumored Russian heavy bomber K-7. A reconstruction of a life size model is underway.
