The Big Picture (328) permalink
A recent large-scale project by the photographer named JR has focused attention on women - relatives of victims of violence - by displaying their large portraits in one of Rio de Janeiro's hardest hit neighborhoods. Though Rio is blessed with natural beauty and climate, it still struggles with large disparities between rich and poor, and many of the six million residents reside in hillside slums called favelas. Here are some views of Rio de Janeiro ...Shared by ani625 (67) Anna Lynn (0) B.M.

These images are from the favelas of Rio, however the project has already taken place in cities in Africa and will be making it's way to SE Asia.

- Sean Leather said: Art, violence, and diversity in Rio. A colleague of mine is currently vacationing in Brazil, but I doubt he'll see pictures as striking as these. I would love to go back.

Which body parts are sung about the most? (36)

Marginal Revolution (146) permalink
The eyes. Other results vary across genre, for instance gospel and blues sing more about hands than eyes. And get this:As for the genre that talks about body parts the most, hip hop takes the honors with more references than any other genre. Meanwhile, gospel refers to the body the least. There are plenty of other data points to peruse. It's nice to know that 23.64 percent of hip hop songs refer to the behind, ...Shared by Aaron (6) Aaron Ross Powell (9) Abhilash (16) Abhishek (5) AbhishekGoyal (1) Akshat (0) Andy Ratto (0) Angus (42) Anthony (26) Beglen (11) biochimia (1) christina (5) Daniel (5) Eater (20) felix (1) Gabe (1) Goyal (3) henrym (1) Ian Tindale (15) Jennie L (2) Maarek Stele (41) Mark (4) Martin Gordon (11) munir (6) Nikki (67) Patrix (12) puthali (12) Rachyl (1) Ranjit (7) rishabh (3) Rob (1) San Franziskaner (1) Shawn (18) stratus (4) Will Cole (9) Zach (4)Explore read six notesContribute comment -

Porque antes, quando eu tinha uma pilha de cv’s para analisar, eu não procurava só as habilitações/cursos de cada candidato. Eu procurava elementos diferenciadores, que fizessem com que algumas pessoas se distinguissem - havia cv’s muito bem escritos e estruturados, havia cv’s que tinham uma organização fora do vulgar, havia elementos surpresa que denotavam criatividade. Agora aquilo é um deserto, o resultado de uma produção em série, um regressar à era industrial. Depois da Jonas ...Shared by biochimia (1)Contribute comment -
John (J5) Palmieri: Orange Tilapia in a Spicy Mushroom Cream Sauce w/ Sautéed String Beans (1)
permalinkI threw together this dish a couple of days ago after sneaking out on Ty to go to the pet store and supermarket. I knew I wanted to make a mushroom cream sauce and when I passed by the Tilapia on sale at Whole Foods I thought it would be perfect.

Repurpose Your Nintendo as a Lunchbox [DIY] (42)
on
Lifehacker (5282) permalink
How-to web site Instructables has a step-by-step guide detailing how to repurpose your classic (but broken) NES as a lunchbox. All you've got to do is gut your Nintendo's innards and add hinges (though a handle would be nice). You'll also need a Sasquatch action figure if the guide is to be believed, but I'm guessing you can get away without it.

linuxwrangler writes "Preparing for English-speaking visitors, a restaurant in China recently ran its name through an online translator, took the result, then purchased and mounted a large sign displaying the English version of their name: Translate Server Error."

Stuff White People Like (127) permalink
In most of the world when a person works long hours without pay, it is referred to as “slavery” or “forced labor.” For white people this process is referred to as an internship and is considered an essential stage in white development. The concept of working for little or no money underneath a superior has been around for centuries in the form of apprenticeship programs. Young people eager to learn a trade would spend time ...
