    The Most Dangerous Places On Earth

    #1 China's Creeping Sandbox

    In Minquin County, China, you will find yourself between two creeping deserts. That space between the deserts was once a thriving oasis, but after a drought that has lasted a decade and the diversion of water from the river, the deserts on both sides are creeping in, taking up more and more of the fertile land. Those living there are living on borrowed time, as they are trapped between sand that approaches at a rate of 10 meters per year, producing at least 130 days of wind and dust.

    #2 Northern Triangle

    The Northern Triangle, made up of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, has the highest incidence of violent death on earth. With over 170 homicides per 100,000 residents, Honduras is the worst of the three. Gangs rule with killing sprees that can last up to three days, often involving kidnapping, torture, and murder. With corruption running rampant, drug trafficking, extortion, and gunplay are common every day occurrences. Over 6,000 refugees have fled Guatemala alone. The danger of violence outweighs any natural disaster.

    #3 Lake Natron

    In Tanzania, Africa, Lake Natron might look peaceful, but the alkaline water with a pH as high as 10.5, will burn skin and eyes of animals that are not adapted to it. Animals that come into contact with this lake become calcified, appearing stiff and like statues, perfectly preserved. What would it do to humans? This is not a lake made for any living creature to survive in, unless you are a highly alkaline fish.

    #4 Indonesia

    Seemingly in one of the most dangerous positions on the globe, Indonesia has faced one of the most treacherous tsunamis in history in 2004 when the Indian Ocean Tsunami killed roughly 227,898 people. However, that’s not the only potential threat that poses risk for residents and tourists. Volcano eruptions, landslides, earthquakes, and floods are all highly possible at any time, and while they worry about those big events striking, 9,329 people have been killed by drought.

    #5 Sehel Region of Africa

    A slow killer, drought has killed more than 100,000 people in a ten year span from 1972 through 1984. The Sehel region of Africa borders the Sahara Desert and spreads across northern Africa. With diminished wetlands and severe drought, anyone living there is subjected to dehydration and starvation, due to the inability to grow crops under such conditions. Human exploitation of the water in the are is to blame for the risk of future instances of mass death.

    #6 Lake Nyos

    Lake Nyos, in West Africa looks like any ordinary lake, but beneath the surface is a time bomb. Deep in the lake bed lies a pocket of magma that has been leaking carbon dioxide. The pressure of 650 feet of lake water keeps the carbon dioxide bottled up, kind of like the pressure under a soda cap. Once you remove that cap, the bubbles rush to the top, spilling over. At the end of the summer of 1986, the lake became depressurized, and the carbon dioxide rushed to the surface killing more than 1,700 people in its wake.

    #7 Mount Merapi

    With smoke floating up to 10,000 feet in the sky, Mount Merapi has been nicknamed Fire Mountain. This volcano on the island of Java, has erupted roughly 60 times over the past five centuries. There has been a vast increase since 2006, but in spite of statistics, about 200,000 villagers live within four miles of the treacherous volcano, knowing that the eruption that occurred in 1994 killed 60 people with a lethal cloud of hot gas.

    #8 The Ephemeral Maldive Islands

    With an elevation of just a little more than six feet, the 1,190 islands that make up Maldives in the Indian Ocean might be underwater soon. President Nasheed suggested that people find other residences in Sri Lanka or India, commenting on the Tsunami that swept over the island in 2004, leaving only 10 percent of it inhabitable. With one third of the residents left homeless and eighty people dead, the future does not look certain should another wall of water hit the islands.

    Why Do We Have Dreams?

    #1 Everybody Dreams

    We all dream and we dream a lot. The average human will spend roughly 6 years of their lives dreaming. It's just that we don't remember them all.

    And there's a lot to remember. On an average night, you have one dream every 90 minutes. But you can have as little as five or as many as dozens depending on the night.

    And each of those dreams is longer than the last. Your first dream will be around 5 minutes. By the end of your sleep cycle, your dreams are 45 minutes long.

    #2 First Things, First

    Why do we dream? To be perfectly honest, scientists aren't exactly sure. But there are a lot of viable theories.

    The science of dream study is relatively new. However, scientists have uncovered lots of interesting stuff so far. And we've got the most widely accepted theories here.

    So sit back and relax. We're about to take a journey through the science of dreams. By the end, you'll know as much as anyone.

    #3 What's In A Dream?

    Just what is a dream, really? According to scientists, a dream consists of the images, thoughts and emotions that you experience when you're sleeping.

    But is that all they are? Dreams have a big impact on human lives. We've been studying them since ancient Egypt.

    Just what do they mean? What should we take from them? Well, there are several competing theories to offer an explanation.

    #4 The Longest Running Theory

    Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic dream theory is perhaps the most enduring. According to Freud, dreams represent our unconscious desires, ideas and motivations.

    For him, dreams are basically the expression of all the desires we're afraid to confront during the day. His theory explains why many of the dreams we remember are chaotic.

    We have nightmares, sex dreams, fight dreams that run the emotional gamut. And Freud's psychoanalytic theory argues that we understand ourselves better when we understand those base desires. This understanding is at the root of modern dream interpretation. When we wake up, we go back to sift through our sleep for clues about our waking life.

    #5 Interpreting the Imagery

    According to Freud's theories, dreams have two layers. On the surface is the imagery we see. Only when we analyze that imagery, can we get down to the truth.

    Most of the dreams we have don't make a lot of sense. We jump from place to place. We drive rubber duckies down the street.

    But rubber duckies aren't really on our minds. The rubber ducky symbolizes something. What does it mean? There are thousands of dream books that offer interpretations for almost anything you can dream up.

    #6 Was Sigmund Freud Right?

    Thanks to Freud's influence, we all try to interpret our dreams. But was Freud right? As dream science grows, it can't find much evidence to support old Freud.

    Dream scientist tackle dream studies with all the modern technology available. But, try as they might, scientists can't really find any connections between dreams and their psychological significance.

    Does that mean that you should throw out your dream book? It may be too soon for that. But modern science does offer some dream theories that are just as exciting as Freud's.

    #7 A More Modern Model

    After Freud's dream theory came another by J. Allan Hobson and Robert McClarley. Their theory is more scientific. They think that we dream simply because the brain's circuits become overstimulated during REM sleep.

    A lot of that activity happens in the limbic system. This is the area that controls our emotions, memories and senses. That's why our dreams feel so significant.

    While all of this stimulation is happening, other areas of our brain try to make sense of it. And that's why we dream. It's our brain trying to make sense of all of that spastic activity.

    If that's true, do dreams mean nothing at all?

    #8 So What Do Our Dreams Mean?

    Current dream theory sort of disagrees with Freud. But that doesn't mean that your dreams mean nothing. Dreams may be the product of over-stimulation, but its still part of our brain's most creative period.

    The signals may be random, but our brain combines those random signals into new ideas. Most of those ideas mean nothing at all. But some of those new ideas can be useful to us. These ideas are a product of some of the best thinking our brains can do. And it's thinking that we might not be able to accomplish while we're awake.

    #9 Dreams May Be Telling You Something

    Ever had recurring dreams or nightmares? Your brain may be trying to tell you something. When your brain fixates on the same imagery and emotions, it's trying to rid itself of pesky thoughts.

    How do you know what your brain is trying to tell you? Science isn't even sure that your dreams have something to say. But for those who follow Freud's theories, it's about finding out what's behind the imagery.

    Lots of us have dreams about our teeth falling out, for example. Many dream theorists say that teeth represent words and communication. This recurring dream may mean that you're subconsciously frustrated with your inability to get your point across.
     

    #10 Dreams Help You Learn

    It's one of the few certain things scientists know about dreams. The best time to absorb information is right before you sleep. While you dream, your brain will absorb the new information.

    Harvard neuroscience professor Robert Stickgold calls this off-line memory reprocessing. While you sleep, your brain is free from outside stimuli. It can then use all of its computing power to tackle the new information. His test subjects all had better recall of information after they slept on what they learned. It's the best excuse we've heard for taking a snooze break while studying.

    #11 Maybe They Help Us Cope

    Ernest Hoffman, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Newton Wellesley Hospital in Boston, Mass., suggests that "...a possible (though certainly not proven) function of a dream to be weaving new material into the memory system in a way that both reduces emotional arousal and is adaptive in helping us cope with further trauma or stressful events."

    #12 To Explore New Worlds

    You can control your dreams. The premise of the new movie Inception is that people can take the reins of their dreams and make them what they want them to be. But it may not just be a Hollywood fantasy. According to the results of a new survey of 3,000 people, dream control, or “lucid dreaming” may be a real thing.

    In fact, 64.9 percent of participants reported being aware they were dreaming within a dream, and 34 percent said they can sometimes control what happens in their dreams. Taking charge of the content of your dreams isn’t a skill everyone has, but it can be developed, says Kelly Bulkeley, PhD, a dream researcher and visiting scholar at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkley, California.

    The technique is particularly useful for people who suffer from recurring nightmares, he says. Dr. Bulkeley suggests giving yourself a pep talk of sorts before you go to sleep by saying: “If I have that dream again, I’m going to try to remember that’s it’s only a dream, and be aware of that.” When you learn to be aware that you are dreaming—within a dream—you not only have the power to steer yourself away from the monster and into the arms of Brad Pitt, for instance, but you train your mind to avoid nightmares in the first place. “Lucid dreaming enhances your ability to learn from the dream state,” says Dr. Bulkeley.

    #13 Dreams Affect Your Mood

    Ever had a nightmare that set the tone for the day? How about a dream that made your morning seem brighter? Dreams have a calculable effect on your mood.

    The opposite is also true. If you go to bed after an unresolved argument, you're likely to have nightmares. Fall asleep in a good mood and sweet dreams will come.

    Unfortunately, daily discomforts are more likely to show up in your dreams. According to Harvard scientist Robert Stickgold, its because your brain is more likely to work out difficulties while you're sleeping -- and more willing to confront them.

    Jonah Hill and Leonardo DiCaprio re-enact Titanic

    Jonah Hill and Leonardo DiCaprio re-enact Titanic for SNL

    Their heart will go on...


    Jonah Hill hosted the latest Saturday Night Live and the Oscar-nominated star took the opportunity to introduce a new friend during his opening monologue in the form of Wolf Of Wall Street co-star Leonardo DiCaprio...
    As third-time host of SNL, Hill knows the ropes for the live entertainment show, but as he says in his opening monologue, his acting career is moving him on to bigger and better things.
    And one of those things, it seems, is Mr DiCaprio, who made a surprise appearance during Hill’s introduction to the show, at first berating him for acting like a big-shot before relenting to “do that thing they did every day” on the set of The Wolf Of Wall Street.
    And that “thing” just so happened to be a recreation of the famous Titanic embrace.
    Watch Hill’s entire opening monologue from the show below:
    Did Hill and DiCaprio do the Titanic scene justice? Let us know what you think below...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Q_DUYQHtwV4

    Places On Earth That Could Have Been Made By Aliens

    #1 The Artist’s Palette

    Looking at this alienesque landscape, it isn't hard to see why these hot springs in New Zealand’s Taupo Volcanic Zone have the nickname, "Artist's Palette".

    #2 Door To Hell

    In the Karakum Desert of Darweze, this fiery 'Door to Hell' exists - could it be the work of aliens? According to the scientists, this endlessly burning pit of fire formed after Soviet scientists tried to burn away the pit's hazardous gases.

    #3 Calcite Pools

    These stunning, layered pools are located in Huanglong, China. Scientists believe they were formed from calcite deposits, however many believe aliens are their true makers.

    #4 The Great Blue Hole

    Could it be a large alien eye? This giant sinkhole is located in the waters off Belize and in 1997 it became a World Heritage site.

    #5 River Of Five Colors

    The red plant known as the Macarenia clavigera gives this river in Colombia its unique color. This river is also known as “the liquid rainbow”.

    #6 World’s Largest Salt Flat

    These crazy alienesque formations are actually part of the world's largest salt flat, which is located in southwest Bolivia.

    #7 Valley Of The Moon

    The Vally of the Moon, located in Brazil, is one of the oldest places on Earth! According to NASA, it is the most luminous point visible on Earth because of the reflection between the sun and the numerous quartz crystal in the region.

    #8 Ancient Underwater Pyramid

    This pyramid-like structure is one of many stone structures found below the water's surface off Yonaguni Jima. They are believed to be the ruins of an ancient city sunk by an earthquake about 2,000 years ago.

    #9 The Stone Forest

    This creepy stone forest is located in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, and it is often referred to as "the first wonder of the world".

    #10 The Sailing Stones

    Located in Death Valley California, these large rocks have mysterious trails left behind them. Despite these ever-growing trails, no one has actually ever seen the stones move.

    OMG! Guess Where These Photos Are From?

    #1 Worker Bees

    The warehouses' 65,000 employees are really just robot cart custodians.

    #2 So Much Stuff

    No human could find a product in this humungous space

    #3 So Big

    How do you store the largest collection of stuff on earth? In eighty giant warehouses around the world that are 1.2 million square feet a piece.

    #4 Shelves and Shelves

    The warehouse shelves look structured, but it's really organized chaos. Books are next to shake weights are next to shoes: and each has it's own barcode to locate it's exact spot in the warehouse.

    #5 Timber

    Large items hang out in one part of the warehouse because they need help to get down.

    #6 Quick Change

    Fast-moving items are in another part of the warehouse for quick access.

    #7 Shelves and Shelves

    But that's about as organized as it gets.

    #8 Beep Boop

    Sophisticated robot carts keep track of every bar code in the warehouse. They can find the optimal route to a long list of products ordered every second.

     

    #10 Amazon.com

    Amazon.com is the largest online retailer on earth and these are photos of their warehouses

    Stars Without Makeup

    #1 Rihanna

    Rihanna, even sans makeup, looks like the fresh faced beauty we all know and love. What's the secret to her radiance? Youth, duh.

    #2 Penelope Cruz

    When it comes red carpet darlings like Penelope, we're not use to seeing the before, just the after. We must admit, she does clean up well.

    #3 Katherine Heigl

    Fortunately, Katherine Heigl has good facial features which are prominent even on her "down time". In fact, a little fondation and she's good to go!

    #4 Pink

    Bunny hat aside, Pink looks like she could benefit from a little more time in the sun. Also, not wearing clothes that blend into her skin. Just saying. . .

    #5 Katie Holmes

    We're not quite sure what to make of Katie's "comfy" loo. While we love her skin tone, a soft lipstick would go a long way here.

    #6 Kirsten Dunst

    Oh no. There is so much wrong with this image. As a general rule, you should keep your around the house look, around the house. Certainly not outside the house. Ever.

    #7 Kim Kardashian

    This isn't bad, it's just average. That is to say, Kim looks "normal" here. And there's something off about that. We're use to seeing her as a caricature of what women are suppose to look like.

    #8 Jennifer Lopez

    Perhaps it's her facial expression but the Most Beautiful Woman of 2011 isn't looking like her usual beautiful self. It's amazing what makeup can do!

    #9 Jessica Biel

    Biel has milk and honey skin and doesn't need makeup to enhance what she was naturally gifted with. It must be nice to wake up like this every morning.

    #10 Eva Longoria

    Such a pretty smile! Longoria looks younger without a stitch of makeup! Though we would recommend a bit of foundation.

    #11 Cameron Diaz

    If you thought that Cameron Diaz was gorgeous even without makeup, you were correct. We're not gonna lie, we're super jealous.
