In southern Japan women free-divers have been collecting the flora and fauna of the sea for 2,000 years. Traditionally they wore only loincloths in far-from-warm waters.

Bodies and Words...

“He was ugly, himself. Weird-ugly. But ugliness in a man doesn't matter, much. Ugliness in a woman is her life.”
― Joyce Carol Oates, Faithless

If you were born and raised in Philadelphia and grew up in the 1950's especially the Northeast like around Oxford Circle you would fondly remember the truck carousel. The driver cranked a wheel to make it turn. The little horses all faced outward. there was also a truck called "The Whip" where you sat in the cars and it operated much like the Whip ride of today. We also had a man come around with a ferris wheel on his truck. What great memories everybody had - This photo is from 1910 but the truck from the 50's and 60's was pretty much the same except for the truck it's self !!!-via adam wallacavage

I spent almost everyday with my step grandmother from about 5 to 9 years old... She was a devout Catholic and brought me to services every week , unbeknownst to my very secular mother. My experience was entirely aesthetic instead of ''religious'' and i loved the ritual too. But the secular/folk traditions and catholic melded together in my young imagination. For years i believed the Easter bunny was resurrected in a graveyard at dawn, eventually forming fur only to then set out to distribute eggs and chocolate, then returning at midnight. This is my ''Easter'' Series.

Amass The Tears...

Moths drink the tears of sleeping birds

by Debora MacKenzie
A species of moth drinks tears from the eyes of sleeping birds using a fearsome proboscis shaped like a harpoon, scientists have revealed. The new discovery - spied in Madagascar - is the first time moths have been seen feeding on the tears of birds.

Roland Hilgartner at the German Primate Centre in Göttingen, Germany, and Mamisolo Raoilison Hilgartner at the University of Antananarivo in Madagascar, witnessed the apparently unique sight in the island state's Kirindy forest.

Tear-feeding moths and butterflies are known to exist elsewhere in Africa, Asia and South America, but they mainly feed on large, placid animals, such as deer, antelope or crocodiles, which cannot readily brush them away. But there are no such large animals on Madagascar. The main mammals - lemurs and mongoose - have paws capable of shooing the moths. Birds can fly away.

But not when they are sleeping. The Madagascan moths were observed on the necks of sleeping magpie robins and Newtonia birds, with the tip of their proboscises inserted under the bird's eyelid, drinking avidly (scroll down for images). This was during the wet season, so the scientists think the insects wanted salt, as the local soils are low in sodium.

But sleeping birds have two eyelids, both closed. So instead of the soft, straw-like mouthparts found on tear-drinking moths elsewhere, the Madagascan moth has a proboscis with hooks and barbs "shaped like an ancient harpoon", Hilgartner says.

This can be inserted under the bird's eyelids, where the barbs anchor it, apparently without disturbing the bird. The team does not yet know whether the insect spits out an anaesthetic to dull the irritation. They also want to investigate whether, like their counterparts elsewhere, the Madagascan tear-drinkers are all males who get most of their nutrition from the tears.
