A beautiful Japanese production of The Little Mermaid

by Caroline Siede

One of the weirder choices of the Broadway adaptation of The Little Mermaid was to simulate swimming by having the cast skate around on wheelie sneakers. For this Japanese production at the Shiki Theatre Company, however, the creative team really stepped up their game (more…)

The Bus Stops in Belarus are Beautiful

by Jan Halvarson

Back in 2012 Belarus photographer, Alexandra Soldatova photographed the bus stops in her homeland. According to Soldatove, the people of Belarus love when everything looks neat, clean and beautiful. So she set out to look for just that and happened upon all of these beautiful bus stops painted by unknown artists. Decorating the mundane, these bus stops are like beautiful flowers in an otherwise empty landscape. More can be seen at alexandrasoldatova.com.

este estudio es mexicano :)

Ever wondered what sort of music your favourite studios listen to while working? Yes? Us too! So we thought we’d start a monthly(ish) feature series ingeniously called “Studio Playlists” which does just that — giving us a quick eves-dropping of various studios’ working-music.

The second studio on our list is Anagrama, with a 55-track eclectic playlist. Listen to it on our sidebar while browsing our posts, or listen to it via Spotify!

23-Year-Old Student Proves Earth is Surrounded by Freaky Plasma Rings

Cleo Loi is only 23 years old, but the University of Sydney student of astrophysics--undergrad, even—has just proven something that scientists couldn't for the past 60 years.

The theory was that there might be enormous bodies of plasma moving about Earth in a series of rings aligned with our magnetic poles, though none could prove it. 

Ms. Loi, however, had the ingenious idea of splitting the actions of a radio telescope array in half. By using the left half to look slightly to the right, and the right half to look slightly to the left, she was able to essentially mimic the triangulation that human eyes use to determine depth and see in three dimensions. The result: She and her research team found the plasma rings.

"The structures are strikingly organized, appearing as regularly spaced, alternating tubes of overdensities and underdensities strongly aligned with the Earth's magnetic field," reads the abstract from her team's paper, "Real-time imaging of density ducts between the plasmasphere and ionosphere."

Since the research took place in Australia rather than America, I'm guessing the plasma rings will not be harnessed into a devastating superweapon that will turn our planet into a powerful Death Star. Instead it seems, according to Australia's News.com, that the implications are more scientific than martial:

Ms Loi said the drifting plasma tubes could distort astronomical data, especially satellite-based navigation systems. It may also mean we need to re-evaluate our thinking about how galaxies, stars and clouds of gas behave and what they look like.

Here's a video that explains how Ms. Loi made her discovery:

Quasi-legality of US weed is reversing its flow back to Mexico

by Mark Frauenfelder

weed

Mexican weed production is no longer profitable. That's because US growers have greatly increased the quality and quantity of their product, now that there's less risk of getting busted by authorities. The Mexican drug cartels are turning their attention to heroin to make up for the lost revenue.

If you thought water and lighting are two things that should never meet, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by this mesmerizing new “Rain Lamp” by designer Richard Clarkson. The nature-inspired Rain Lamp uses a pump system to circulate water through a glass globe, allowing for a slow, steady drip of droplets that are projected by light onto surrounding surfaces. The steady drip of the lamp results in a mesmerizing ripple effect on your floor. Read on to see a short video of this unique light in action.

Mewgaroo, la sudadera con bolsillo portagatos

by La Gusa

Mewgaroo

Por alguna razón que desconozco hay mucha gente a la que le gustaría tener un gato colgado. Personalmente no soy muy de colgarme seres vivos y dudo mucho que las aspiraciones felinas tengan como objetivo final convertirse en canguros. En cualquier caso, la Mewgaroo está arrasando entre los amantes de los gatos.

La Mewgaroo es una sudadera con un ancho bolsillo para poder depositar al felino en su interior y ordenarle que ronronee hasta la extenuación. Además, la sudadera tiene orejas de gato y algunos detalles para, supongo, confundir al gato real y que le entren más ganas de meterse en la bolsa de su madre y escapar del mundo. Una táctica, eso sí, que funciona de forma espléndida en humanos de entre 40 y 65 años.

En Unihabitat os podréis hacer con ella por algo menos de 50 euros. Sugiero que grabéis las peleas con el gato para que se quede en la bolsa; prometen ser épicas.

The 10 Best Wikipedia Conspiracy Theories

by Jenni Miller
wikiembedPhoto: Courtesy of FOX.
Summer’s finally afoot, so what better time to shut yourself indoors and dive down the rabbit hole of Wikipedia conspiracy theories? Really, who needs fresh air anyway? (Ah, we kid. We love the outdoors.)

Dogged conspiracy theorists were much harder to find before Wikipedia. Gone are the days when you had to know which head shops stocked Robert Anton Wilson's tomes on the Illuminati. No longer must you schlep to a sci-fi convention to swap theories with other X-Files-obsessed folks (unless you really want to). Now, all you have to do is fire up the old web browser and succumb to a Wiki vortex of little green men, shadowy government agencies, and other deeply unsettling ideas. Best of all? The extensive links and footnotes on each carefully curated Wiki page will just lead you deeper and deeper into a netherworld of weirdness.

But, you can't just plunge into the deep end and start reading about Satanic ritual abuse or the secret occult leanings of the Nazi party. Or, even how government leaders like George W. Bush are actually blood-drinking lizard people! These 10 conspiracy theories are good starting points for anyone who's ready to peek into creepy — but, you know, not too creepy.

And, remember: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you. 

1. Area 51: Ah, yes, Fox Mulder's home away from home. This is apparently where the government stores and studies alien spaceships and their contents, such as the UFO that supposedly crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. If you're in the mood for an out-of-this-world road trip, you can even hit up a little restaurant/motel near Area 51 called the Little A'Le'Inn.

2. Illuminati: This is the big mother of government conspiracy theories. The Illuminati was originally your garden-variety secret society when it was founded in Bavaria in the 1700s as a group whose "goals were to oppose superstition, obscurantism, religious influence over public life and abuses of state power" (according to the Wikipedia wizards). Since then, the Illuminati has become conspiracy theorists’ go-to scapegoat for every nefarious cabal they imagine is running the United States government, Hollywood, and even the United Nations. Basically, if you dig deep enough, someone will blame the Illuminati for whatever ails them. You could spend lifetimes learning about the Illuminati or coming up with your own theories — or, in author Dan Brown's case, make a bazillion dollars by writing airport novels about them.

3. COINTELPRO: The FBI's Counter Intelligence Program is not just a conspiracy dreamed up by Wiki editors. J. Edgar Hoover's band of government agents spied and attempted to disrupt the activities of political groups across the board, from the KKK to the Black Panthers. They famously had an eye on Martin Luther King, Jr., who received a mysterious letter urging him to commit suicide. 

4. Shakespeare: Who was Shakespeare? Was he actually some random dude named, uh, Shakespeare, or was he actually Christopher Marlowe or Sir Francis Bacon or — why not? — Gwyneth Paltrow? People who believe someone other than the Bard wrote the approximately 38 plays and 154 sonnets he's credited with even have a fancy name for themselves: the Anti-Stratfordians. They probably get made fun of a lot.

5. Paul is dead: People were doing a lot of drugs in the '60s. Some of those people came up with a theory that Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by someone who looked just like him. The "Paul is dead" conspiracy alleges that the Beatles left clues about Paul's death all over the place, like on the cover of Abbey Road (he's barefoot and out of step with his bandmates! What does it mean?!) or supposed messages embedded in lyrics, such as at the end of "Strawberry Fields Forever": Some listeners believe John Lennon murmurs, "I buried Paul." 

6. The moon landing: If you or someone you love remembers July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon, you should know that you were watching a collaboration between NASA and director Stanley Kubrick. Yep, some moon landing hoaxers not only believe that the whole lunar expedition was a lie, but that Kubrick was involved and that he left a ton of clues about it in his other movies, as per the documentary Room 237. It's a matryoshka doll of nuttiness. 

7. Crop circles: Sure, "America the Beautiful" may celebrate those waves of grain, but walking around in a field of wheat is spooky. What's spookier? Flying above a field of wheat and noticing all the concentric circle designs that were obviously left there by UFOs or freak weather patterns or faeries or lost and lusty English ladies who are stuck in the past and forced to marry super-hot Scottish dudes.

8. JFK assassination: Buckle up, because this is the type of conspiracy that has consumed people's lives. Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill JFK that November day in Dallas? Did he have accomplices? Was he working for or with someone, like the CIA, the Mob, or even the KGB? When you're done examining the various iterations of the Zapruder film on YouTube, book your trip to Dallas for a complete JFK Assassination tour, which will take you around the Texas School Book Depository, the knoll, and the historic Texas Theater, where Oswald was arrested.

9. Atlantis: At first, the island of Atlantis was just a cool allegory cooked up by Plato, but for one reason or another, folks latched on to the idea of Atlantis as an entire sunken city (or continent even) that was host to everything from the Garden of Eden to a crazy high-tech species of beings called the Atlanteans who flew off into outer space. Or, maybe they were giants. Or, something. The conspiracies about Atlantis have infiltrated pop culture in a major way, from DC Comics' Aquaman to MacGyver.

10. Project MK-Ultra: This super-creepy one isn’t even a theory. It’s a fact. From 1953 until the project was officially disbanded in the mid-'70s, under chemist Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA experimented with slipping acid to unknowing (and definitely non-consenting!) U.S. citizens from all walks of life, from a deputy U.S. marshall to the clients of a San Francisco brothel. As per Gottlieb's obituary, "a mental patient in Kentucky was dosed with LSD continuously for 174 days." Acid was just one form of behavioral modification with which the government was experimenting under MK-Ultra. After you emerge from this Wiki hole, pick up Jon Ronson's The Men Who Stare at Goats. The declassified documents are also quite a trip.

Like what you see?How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
