Photographer Tracks Down People He Shot in the Street 40 Years Ago to Recreate Their Pictures Back in the 1970s and 1980s, paramedic and part time photographer Chris Porsz spent all of his free time walking around the streets of Peterborough, England, taking photos of passersby. 40 years later, Chris tracked down the subjects of his photos all of those years ago, convincing them to strike the same pose for a “then” and “now” perspective. According to Chris, “I don’t think anyone else has tracked down so many strangers and recreated photos in this way before.” It took “tenacious detective work, meticulous planning and, often, unbelievable coincidences,” but the results are a fascinating look at how people have changed - or not changed -as the case may be.

Kinds of Energy NOTE: If you want to learn about Energy in terms of Renewable and Non-renewable Energy, please select an option below: What is energy? Look around you. Is anything moving? Can you hear, see or feel anything? Sure... this is because something is making something happen, and most probably, there is some power at work. Hajime Narukawa Wins Good Design Grand Award for World-Changing Map The Good Design Grand Award, arguably Japan’s most prestigious award for design, just went out to architect Hajime Narukawa’s completely groundbreaking design for a map of the world. His map, the AuthaGraph World Map, isn’t your average map of the globe: It’s a near-perfect representation of the continents and oceans as they exist on our spherical planet, all laid out on a two-dimensional surface. Maps are pretty darn complicated. We take it for granted that Antarctica is going to be smushed down at the bottom of the map and not shown in full; all the oceans are radically disfigured, but we’re used to seeing them that way. That style dates back to cartographer Gerardus Mercator’s paradigm-shifting map from 1569.

Mechanics of Wind-up Cell Phone Chargers " ­So what's going on inside a wind-up cell phone charger? How does the simple turning of a crank lead to extra juice for your phone's battery? To understand the basics of wind-up cell phone chargers, it helps to look at a much bigger, yet surprisingly similar, technology -- wind turbines and wind power. When we use massive fans to generate electric power, we're relying on the motion of wind. In the simplest terms, the blades of the fans capture kinetic energy, or the energy of motion, from the movement of the wind.

Danny MacAskill – new video Danny MacAskill's Wee Day Out is here! Danny MacAskill became one of the biggest YouTube stars in the world after his incredible bike skills were witnessed in a number of jaw-dropping edits, including Imaginate, Epecuén and Way Back Home.

Mapping Renewable Electricity Generation The use of renewable energy sources (hydro, solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass) for electricity generation varies profoundly from country to country, ranging from 100 percent in Albania, Iceland, Paraguay, and Tajikistan to less than 1 percent in Belarus, Eritrea, and Jordan. Intriguingly, the map bears no resemblance to that of economic development; the highest levels of “renewability” are found in some of the world’s richest countries (Norway) and some of the poorest (DR Congo). Low levels are also found across the developmental spectrum. As can be seen in the relatively comprehensive and only slightly out-of-date data-table in Wikipedia from which the map was generated, the vast majority of renewable energy worldwide comes from hydropower.

Billions in Change 01:00:08:06 MANOJ: There are seven billion of us in the world today. And we're facing some huge problems, but talk doesn't help someone out of poverty. Awareness doesn't reduce pollution or grow food. Or heal the sick. That takes doing. Printing a wall-sized world map Prologue I love world maps. Since my earliest childhood I have been fascinated by all the foreign-sounding names on them. Back in that time it was unthinkable that I would ever see any of these places. Redheads from 20 Countries Photographed to Show Their Natural Beauty Kiev, Ukraine Entertainment photographer Brian Dowling has photographed famous redheads like Julia Roberts, Julianne Moore, and Amy Adams, but his newest project focuses on the beauty of everyday female redheads. Dowling, an American photographer based in Berlin, spent three summers visiting 20 countries, where he shot portraits of more than 130 women with red hair. His aim is to show the beauty and diversity in this rarest of hair colors. Just 2% of the population can claim this fiery hair color, which is caused by both parents having the recessive MC1R gene. Even with both parents carrying the gene, their offspring only have a 25% of being born with red hair.

Oproject BREAKING DOWN THE BARRIERS OF FEMALE SEXUAL WELL-BEING Photographer, Alberti, captures facial expressions of women having orgasms In a daring and bold move, Brazilian photographer, Marcos Alberti, acclaimed for last year’s “3 Glasses” project on drinking alcohol in moderation, set out on a new mission to break down the barriers of female sexual well-being in his latest quest, the "O Project". Together with sexual well-being brand, Smile Makers, Alberti presented female sexuality like it's never been done. Alberti captured the facial expressions of more than 20 women before, during, and after their sexual journey, while using personal massagers. The four photos unveil the slow or, in some cases, rapid progression of each woman’s facial changes as she reaches and recovers from orgasm.
