Suicide: Read This First If you are feeling suicidal now, please stop long enough to read this. It will only take about five minutes. I do not want to talk you out of your bad feelings. I don't know who you are, or why you are reading this page. I have known a lot of people who have wanted to kill themselves, so I have some small idea of what you might be feeling. Well, you're still reading, and that's very good. Start by considering this statement: Suicide is not chosen; it happens when pain exceeds resources for coping with pain. That's all it's about. Don't accept it if someone tells you, "That's not enough to be suicidal about." When pain exceeds pain-coping resources, suicidal feelings are the result. You can survive suicidal feelings if you do either of two things: (1) find a way to reduce your pain, or (2) find a way to increase your coping resources. Now I want to share with you five things to think about... Well, it's been a few minutes and you're still with me. Now: I'd like you to call someone.

Hormigas traslúcidas devorando líquidos de colores (FOTOS hormigas_abdomen_traslucido Show captions Showing image 1 of 1 Todo comenzó cuando el científico Mohamed Babu y su esposa encontraron una peculiar especie de hormigas en el jardín de su casa de Mysore, en la India. Estas hormigas, cuya parte trasera de sus cuerpos es parcialmente traslucida, cambian de color, mimetizándose con el alimento que ingieren. “La idea de fotografiarlas me vino luego de que mi mujer me mostró cómo algunas hormigas cambiaban de color cuando bebían las gotas de leche que se habían derramado en nuestra cocina” afirma Babu. A continuación, el científico indio decidió colocar gotas de azúcar coloreadas y esperar a que las hormigas se alimentarán de ellas. Curiosamente, el “experimento” hogareño de Babu, derivó no solo en una obra de arte orgánico, sino que manifiesta cabalmente uno de los refranes populares más conocidos: somos lo que comemos.

La lengua psicodélica de una mariposa y otras fascinantes fotos microscópicas Before I sink Into the big sleep I want to hear …The scream of the butterfly. Jim Morrison El mundo microscópico —ese fractal del cosmos— revela sus secretos a la luz de la tecnología y seguramente la competición Nikon Small World es soberbia en lo que respecta a exhibir la belleza y complejidad de este micromundo. Arriba una lengua de mariposa fotografiada bajo luz polarizada por Stephen Nagy: una resbaladilla psicodélica que traza un camino hacia el otro lado del espejo con su lamido lisérgico. Gota de agua —cápsula— con dos larvas de mosquitos. El monstruoso—casi cefalópodo— rostro de un coleóptero de amplia nariz. La cabeza de una hormiga bajo luz negra.

Las asombrosas medusas de Alexander Semenov, maestro de la foto submarina El biólogo ruso Alexander Semenov es uno de los fotógrafos de vida submarina más reconocidos del mundo, especialmente célebre por hacer retratos de la fauna marina vibrantes de color y energía. Semenov acaba de presentar su nueva serie de imágenes tomadas en la Estación Biológica del Mar Blanco en Rusia y en la que se destaca la fotografía de medusas. El fondo del mar parece el espejo de un espacio galáctico poblado por exóticos seres que evocan cerebros flotantes, conciencias translúcidas conectadas a la mente del océano. Semenov logra capturar a las medusas, que se han convertido en una de las especies dominantes, de una manera altamente estilizada, casi como si estuvieran posando a la cámara y accedieran a formar parte de un catálogo. Es posible que las medusas sean visualmente el animal más psicodélico del planeta. Semenov es además buzo y director del programa de la Estación Biológica del Mar Blanco. [Colossal]
