Scientists Studied What Psychedelics Do to the Brain, And It’s Not What You’ve Been Told. It turns out that psychedelics aren’t just good for turning into an elf and jousting a car.
Psychiatrists, psychologists and specialists in addiction and recovery from traumatic experiences have been investigating the use of hallucinogens in treatment programs, and the results indicate that psychedelics actually have practical therapeutic uses. And one drug has proven particularly useful. Repeated studies have found the psychedelic compound found in magic mushrooms, psilocybin, can help people move past major life issues — like beating alcoholism and becoming more empathetic. How Museum Gift Shops Sell Tragedy. Even before the 9/11 Memorial Museum gift shop opened May 21, it was arousing fierce controversy.
The sale of trinkets, from Tribute of Light iPhone cases to “rescue dog” stuffed animals, fired up the tabloids, mainstream news sites, and some families of 9/11 victims, who argued that the cheap souvenirs made light of a horrible tragedy.

Tattoos can sometimes be more than art, they are also a great way to spiritually and emotionally heal.
For years, cancer survivors have chosen to spread the awareness, tell their story and symbolize their new start with tattoos. Breast cancer tattoos in particular have been given media coverage for their ability to give back hope and self-esteem to women.

Reality is a little different. Useful Photography, an Amsterdam-based magazine that collects everyday images, pulled together several decades of targets from some of the tens of thousands of shooting ranges in the U.S. for its most recent issue. This is What it Sounds Like When You Put Tree Rings on a Record Player. This is an excerpt from the record Years, created by Bartholomäus Traubeck, which features seven recordings from different Austrian trees including Oak, Maple, Walnut, and Beech.
What you are hearing is an Ash tree’s year ring data. Every tree sounds vastly unique due to varying characteristics of the rings, such as strength, thickness and rate of growth. Keep in mind that the tree rings are being translated into the language of music, rather than sounding musical in and of themselves. This Surreal Photo Series Critiques Society's Pressure On Women, And It’s Terrifying. Dove can make all the empowering viral content it wants, but the beauty standards society demands of women appear to be here to stay.
A new photo series goes further than merely diagnosing this problem--by showing the full extent of how corrosive it truly is. “The Fanciful, Monstrous Feminine” is a collection of other-wordly images that depict the maddening toll that our collective cosmetic obsession takes on women. Created by Melbourne-based visual artist Jessica Ledwich, each photo is a surreal document of how the ways women are conditioned to treat themselves often involve physical violence.

Hip Gadgets For The Developing World Won't Solve Global Poverty: Stop Making Them. Every time I see a gimmicky product hailed as the "next big thing" to make a dent in world poverty I want to pull my hair out.
There are already enough products in the market to change the lives of every single poor consumer on the planet.

What if you could see inside someone’s mind? It’s not possible to know exactly what another person is thinking, but neuroscientists from UCSD and UCSF are on their way.
They created a “glass brain”: software that shows a person’s brain reacting to stimuli in real time. The implications for virtual reality and digital communication are tremendous, according to. The Deeply Weird World Of Extreme Dog Grooming. The world of creative canine coiffure is a truly, deeply weird one. Last year, NYC-based photographer Paul Nathan traveled to New Jersey’s Intergroom, a high-profile grooming competition, because of course those exist, and took portraits of pooches clipped and dyed to look like flamingoes, clowns, leopards, and parrots, among other un-dogly things.
Now, these freakish glamour shots are compiled in a book, Groomed, out this spring from Pelluceo Publishing. Some of these dogs look understandably embarrassed or confused, but others just look smug, convinced their new fur is super fly.
