Orly x MuslimGirl Halal-Certified Nail Polish. Many Muslim men and women are not able to wear regular nail polish because it conflicts with prayer practices.
The coats of polish are believed to create a barrier over the skin, which prevents water from touching every part of the body during ablutions, but Orly's new polish collection offers a solution. In an effort to bridge the diversity gap in the beauty world, the polish brand has teamed up with Muslim Girl to release a new collection of six halal-certified polishes, all of which let oxygen and moisture pass through the polish.

Military might, territory, and physical borders often aren’t as important as trade partnerships, resources, and infrastructure. When you think about who will be the global superpower of the next 100 years, consider this: China has a paltry military compared to the U.S., yet it is the number one trade partner of twice as many countries. These Aerial Photos Explain Why Europe Has Such A Lower Carbon Footprint Than The U.S.
The average European has about half the carbon footprint of the average American, but that isn't necessarily because the average German is trying to be greener than someone in Montana.
In part, it's a function of sprawl; American suburbs have a hefty footprint largely because of long commutes and oversized houses. In a new series of aerial photos commissioned by Yale 360, photographer Alex MacLean flew over Europe to document land use patterns, along with the continent's transformation to renewable energy. It was next step in the photographer's long-standing study of development. Call A Random Swede? We Tried It Out.

The Panama Papers—11.5 million leaked documents that detail the inner workings of Mossack Fonseca, a law firm accused of helping drug lords, sports stars, Ponzi schemers, kings, presidents, prime ministers, FIFA officials, mafia members, high-profile thieves, high-ranking politicians, and at least one convicted sex offender launder money, evade taxes, and escape criminal prosecution—are a big deal.
Mossack Fonseca has ties to the $37 million Brink's-MAT robbery of 1983, which British media called "the crime of the century. " Thirty-three of its clients have been blacklisted by the US government for allegedly doing business with Mexican drug lords, terrorist organizations, and "rogue nations" like North Korea and Iran. Its files have unearthed a secret, shady $2 billion trail of money that leads to Vladimir Putin. One of its clients played a crucial role in the Watergate scandal.

Could Produce on Wheels Be the Answer to America’s Food Desert Crisis? When it comes to supermarkets, most of us have an abundance of choices.
Big-box chains compete for customers with aisles chock-full of everything from Greek yogurt to chicken sausage. Not everyone is so lucky; in the U.S., 23.5 million people live in food deserts, which means they live 10 miles from a supermarket. For these Americans, picking up fresh oranges or a gallon of milk is a huge challenge. Entrepreneur Amelia Pape wanted to figure out how to bring fresh produce to these underserved markets but was daunted by the staggering amount of capital needed to stock and open a grocery store.
So in 2011, she launched My Street Grocery, a mobile grocery truck that operates as a pop-up market. A few years later, Pape approached Whole Foods Market to discuss ways to make a greater community impact. A School Garden Born in a Food Desert May Change the Way Kids Eat—and Learn. The South Bronx is full of concrete and crime, but in 2003, a box of daffodil bulbs next to a classroom radiator germinated an idea for teacher Stephen Ritz—an idea that has led to national teaching awards, a viral TED talk, and an invitation to the White House garden plot.
“My favorite crop is organically grown citizens,” Ritz said on the TED stage in 2012, speaking of the results of his work with Green Bronx Machine, the indoor teaching garden system he pioneered. “Graduates, members of the middle class, kids who are going to college, kids who are staying out of jail.” Mark Winne, author of Closing the Food Gap: Resetting the Table in the Land of Plenty and a senior advisor for the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, thinks these kind of programs could be the most promising way of addressing food insecurity at large. “Introducing children to healthy fresh food at an early age—I would put my money into that,” he said. Michelle Obama Gives School and Community Gardens a Boost. Michelle Obama is ending her tenure as first lady the way she started it—with a renewed emphasis on healthy eating. Although she lives in the White House and regularly hosts heads of state, as seen in the video above, she’s not too fancy to help kids sort earthworms from a pile of compost.
“I can’t believe I’m sitting here digging out worms with you guys,” Obama says in a hilarious moment captured during her surprise visit to a classroom at Burroughs Elementary in Washington, D.C. RELATED: A School Garden Born in a Food Desert May Change the Way Kids Eat—and Learn The visit is part of Obama’s latest effort to champion school and community gardens as a cornerstone of wellness.
Back in 2009, when the first lady broke ground on the White House Kitchen Garden, the first of its kind at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. since World War II, she said she wanted to support efforts to reduce childhood obesity by getting kids to eat more fruits and vegetables. There May Be Twice as Many Orangutans as Thought. Sumatran orangutans have been dying for some good news, and they finally got some.
For now, at least. According to the results of an extensive three-year survey, Sumatra may hold as many as 14,600 orangutans. That’s more than double the previous population estimate of 6,600 for these critically endangered apes. A team of researchers crisscrossed Sumatra by foot, walking into remote habitats to find evidence of orangutans in areas where no one had ever looked them before. This is how New Yorkers react to the sight of a child bride.

Zika Virus Rumors and Theories That You Should Doubt. Mounting evidence points to Zika. The outbreak of microcephaly began in northeastern Brazilian cities where doctors had already seen thousands of people with “doença misteriosa” — the mystery disease — which was later proved to be caused by the Zika virus.
Although there is no rapid test for Zika, the symptoms are easily recognized — a rash, bloodshot eyes, fever and joint pain, in large numbers of patients who are almost never dangerously ill. Although they initially misdiagnosed it, Brazilian doctors knew for months that they had a large outbreak of an unusual disease on their hands. Apply to be an Ambassador!
