  • A solitary olive, a fast-food binge... and a birthday cake: The bizarre last meals of death row killers before they face execution<br />
<br />
Even though they have been condemned to die for their crimes, the humanity of offering a death row prisoner a final meal fascinates like few other requests.<br />
Inspired by the forgiving gesture, Julia Ziegler-Haynes, a Brooklyn-based artist, has exhaustively trawled through the public records of death row inmates and selected 24 last meals, painstakingly recreated them and then photographed them.<br />
Produced for a book known as 'Today's Special', each one was cooked and prepared to the exact recorded likings and specifications of each prisoner, from a fast food blow-out to a single un-pitted black olive.<br />
'Essentially, these prisoners had become guests in my home. And so, despite having been immersed in the hideous details of each crime, I repeatedly found myself feeling empathetic towards them. Especially those whose requests were so meager,' states Ziegler-Haynes. <br />
<br />
For example, one photograph depicts a black un-pitted olive, another, a single cup of coffee.<br />
Having been planning her photographic project for the past decade, the sculptor and printmaker shot her meals from the vantage point of the diner.<br />
This placed the viewer in the place of the condemned man and to help them think about what could possibly have been going through their mind as they ate their meal.<br />
Her visual aesthetic is inspired by Christian Boltanskiʼs Compositions décoratives (1976), and significantly influenced by the food styling from that era with its faded backdrops and unappetizing simplicity – likened to food images from the windows of cheap restaurants. <br />
Envisioning how each meal would appear served in the prisons, Ziegler-Haynes then juxtaposed her versions against vibrant backgrounds to liven what she assumed to be the opposite of their actual presentation. <br />
'I imagine, for instance, they serve frozen hamburger patties on commercially made buns,' she states

  • AIRBNB IN NORTH KOREA<br />
<br />
When I first arrived in North Korea in 2008, my guide told me that in the near future it may be possible for tourists to lodge with a North Korean family during their stay. I had to wait years before this sort of North Korean Airbnb came into existence so I’m thrilled when they finally tell me that I could do it. During my stay, I’ll be a guest at the residence of a local fisherman’s family in the village of Jung Pyong Ri, in Myongchon county, situated in the North Hamgyong province. With white sandy beaches, the remote village doesn’t exist on any map. This beautiful portrayal of rural life provides the North Korean government a flattering image to capitalize on, showing tourists this pillar of the country’s economy. <br />
After 5 trips to North Korea, I’m always a tad suspicious when my guides tell me something is amazing. They regularly oversell events I should attend or places I should visit. In the past, I was brought to a fish farm without fish and a host of abandoned factories. Hopefully, this time will be different and Jung Pyong Yi will live up to its hype. <br />
My journey there gives me a great opportunity to view the countryside, as it requires a several-hour bus ride to reach. The roads on the east coast are very muddy and filled with potholes that workers try their best to fix. I see an electric fence lining the beach as an attempt to stall possible Japanese invasion. <br />
The poverty in these rural villages is palpable. From the comfy seat in my bus, I see old, dilapidated houses with roofs ready to collapse. Only huge murals of the smiling Kim Il Sung bring color to these bleak landscapes. My guide informs me that most tourists do not journey this far into the countryside, and that I may be the first European to ever visit this area. The bus continues on, accelerating every time it passes through a village, aggressively forcing other motorists to make way for the bus. There is a disparaging difference between the attitudes of the

When I first arrived in North Korea in 2008, my guide told me that in the near future it may be possible for tourists to lodge with a North Korean family during their stay. I had to wait years before this sort of North Korean Airbnb came into existence so I’m thrilled when they finally tell me that I could do it. During my stay, I’ll be a guest at the residence of a local fisherman’s family in the village of Jung Pyong Ri, in Myongchon county, situated in the North Hamgyong province. With white sandy beaches, the remote village doesn’t exist on any map. This beautiful portrayal of rural life provides the North Korean government a flattering image to capitalize on, showing tourists this pillar of the country’s economy. <br />
After 5 trips to North Korea, I’m always a tad suspicious when my guides tell me something is amazing. They regularly oversell events I should attend or places I should visit. In the past, I was brought to a fish farm without fish and a host of abandoned factories. Hopefully, this time will be different and Jung Pyong Yi will live up to its hype. <br />
My journey there gives me a great opportunity to view the countryside, as it requires a several-hour bus ride to reach. The roads on the east coast are very muddy and filled with potholes that workers try their best to fix. I see an electric fence lining the beach as an attempt to stall possible Japanese invasion. <br />
The poverty in these rural villages is palpable. From the comfy seat in my bus, I see old, dilapidated houses with roofs ready to collapse. Only huge murals of the smiling Kim Il Sung bring color to these bleak landscapes. My guide informs me that most tourists do not journey this far into the countryside, and that I may be the first European to ever visit this area.

  • AIRBNB IN NORTH KOREA<br />
<br />
When I first arrived in North Korea in 2008, my guide told me that in the near future it may be possible for tourists to lodge with a North Korean family during their stay. I had to wait years before this sort of North Korean Airbnb came into existence so I’m thrilled when they finally tell me that I could do it. During my stay, I’ll be a guest at the residence of a local fisherman’s family in the village of Jung Pyong Ri, in Myongchon county, situated in the North Hamgyong province. With white sandy beaches, the remote village doesn’t exist on any map. This beautiful portrayal of rural life provides the North Korean government a flattering image to capitalize on, showing tourists this pillar of the country’s economy. <br />
After 5 trips to North Korea, I’m always a tad suspicious when my guides tell me something is amazing. They regularly oversell events I should attend or places I should visit. In the past, I was brought to a fish farm without fish and a host of abandoned factories. Hopefully, this time will be different and Jung Pyong Yi will live up to its hype. <br />
My journey there gives me a great opportunity to view the countryside, as it requires a several-hour bus ride to reach. The roads on the east coast are very muddy and filled with potholes that workers try their best to fix. I see an electric fence lining the beach as an attempt to stall possible Japanese invasion. <br />
The poverty in these rural villages is palpable. From the comfy seat in my bus, I see old, dilapidated houses with roofs ready to collapse. Only huge murals of the smiling Kim Il Sung bring color to these bleak landscapes. My guide informs me that most tourists do not journey this far into the countryside, and that I may be the first European to ever visit this area. The bus continues on, accelerating every time it passes through a village, aggressively forcing other motorists to make way for the bus. There is a disparaging difference between the attitudes of the

  • A solitary olive, a fast-food binge... and a birthday cake: The bizarre last meals of death row killers before they face execution<br />
<br />
Even though they have been condemned to die for their crimes, the humanity of offering a death row prisoner a final meal fascinates like few other requests.<br />
Inspired by the forgiving gesture, Julia Ziegler-Haynes, a Brooklyn-based artist, has exhaustively trawled through the public records of death row inmates and selected 24 last meals, painstakingly recreated them and then photographed them.<br />
Produced for a book known as 'Today's Special', each one was cooked and prepared to the exact recorded likings and specifications of each prisoner, from a fast food blow-out to a single un-pitted black olive.<br />
'Essentially, these prisoners had become guests in my home. And so, despite having been immersed in the hideous details of each crime, I repeatedly found myself feeling empathetic towards them. Especially those whose requests were so meager,' states Ziegler-Haynes. <br />
<br />
For example, one photograph depicts a black un-pitted olive, another, a single cup of coffee.<br />
Having been planning her photographic project for the past decade, the sculptor and printmaker shot her meals from the vantage point of the diner.<br />
This placed the viewer in the place of the condemned man and to help them think about what could possibly have been going through their mind as they ate their meal.<br />
Her visual aesthetic is inspired by Christian Boltanskiʼs Compositions décoratives (1976), and significantly influenced by the food styling from that era with its faded backdrops and unappetizing simplicity – likened to food images from the windows of cheap restaurants. <br />
Envisioning how each meal would appear served in the prisons, Ziegler-Haynes then juxtaposed her versions against vibrant backgrounds to liven what she assumed to be the opposite of their actual presentation. <br />
'I imagine, for instance, they serve frozen hamburger patties on commercially made buns,' she states

  • STICK FIGHTING DAY IN SURI TRIBE - ETHIOPIA<br />
<br />
Donga stick fights take place after the harvests, the Surmas count days owing to knots on a long stem of grass or jags on the trunk of a tree dedicated to that specific use. Each knot or jag representing a single day, it means that if the bark of the tree is cut with 8 jags for example, the Donga will take on the 8th day of the month.<br />
<br />
 Before a Donga, some Suri drink the fresh blood of their cattle during the Blood meal ritual. It consists in making a small incision in the cow’s carotid artery with a special sharp arrow in order ro make it bleed almost two liters of its bloodThe warrior has got to drink the entire content in one as blood coagulates quickly. Sometimes warriors do not manage to drink all of the blood contained in the calabash in one mouthful, and vomit all the blood they swallowed .Surma believe the cow’s blood is full of vitamins that enable warriors to be fit.<br />
<br />
The warriors stop when crossing a river in order to wash themselves, before decorating their bodies for the fight. They decorate themselves by sliding the fingers full of clay on the warrior’s bodies. This dressing up and decoration is meant to show their beauty and virility and thus catch the women’s attention.<br />
Body paintings are also especially made during the long periods spent in the camps where the cattle is kept by young men and women. These camps are located far away from the village and the pratice of body painting is an informal and play event seen as an expression of liberty and independance for these young people. Body paintings unfortunately show the increasing impact of foreign tourists. Suri people have developed and created new body paintings as well as new dress codes in order to attract tourists. They have understood that foreigners would be more eager to take pictures from them with such decoratives paintings and ornaments, and to pay for it. A few years ago, Suri boys started to disguise by wearing flower headdresses, wh

  • Tiger and Goat Are best friends in Primary Zoo<br />
<br />
An interesting story is unfolding in Primorye safari park in Russia and thousands of Internet users are watching it. It started with a regular meal that was delivered to a Siberian tiger kept in a park. His name is Amur. So one day Amur got a meal - he often gets live meals - either small rabbits or some other smaller animals, but this time park workers wanted to treat him with a live goat. However, instead of eating it Amur became best friends with an animal that was supposed to become his dinner.<br />
<br />
Tigers of this safari park twice a week are treated with live food. Live literary - the one they can hunt down like they do in wilderness. Amur, the tiger, knows how to hunt down goats and rabbits however he preferred not to kill this particular goat because he was very brave.<br />
<br />
More than that the zoo workers tell the story that the goat evicted the tiger from his "bedroom" and occupied it. Now the tiger sleeps outside and the goat lives inside of the tigers ex house.<br />
<br />
Now they go for a walk together and even get fed together. The tiger never mixes up his friend with his other food he eats and always eats aside from the goat.<br />

Thousands of Russian people watch for the updates now. They are eager to see each day what's going on with this unusual pair. So the zoo workers post updates daily now. For example now they noticed that the tiger protects the goat from people. If people approach the goat, the tiger hisses and acts aggressively. Zoo workers say that they hadn't noticed such behavior of a tiger before.<br />
<br />
Also the workers say that each night the goat and the tiger smell each other before going to sleep.<br />
<br />
Then each morning they both go to the big park outside for a walk. At first the tiger walks out of their place and then he waits for the goat to join him. Then they go to the park together.The zoo workers say the animals are always spending their time together.<br />

  • Tiger and Goat Are best friends in Primary Zoo<br />
<br />
An interesting story is unfolding in Primorye safari park in Russia and thousands of Internet users are watching it. It started with a regular meal that was delivered to a Siberian tiger kept in a park. His name is Amur. So one day Amur got a meal - he often gets live meals - either small rabbits or some other smaller animals, but this time park workers wanted to treat him with a live goat. However, instead of eating it Amur became best friends with an animal that was supposed to become his dinner.<br />
<br />
Tigers of this safari park twice a week are treated with live food. Live literary - the one they can hunt down like they do in wilderness. Amur, the tiger, knows how to hunt down goats and rabbits however he preferred not to kill this particular goat because he was very brave.<br />
<br />
More than that the zoo workers tell the story that the goat evicted the tiger from his "bedroom" and occupied it. Now the tiger sleeps outside and the goat lives inside of the tigers ex house.<br />
<br />
Now they go for a walk together and even get fed together. The tiger never mixes up his friend with his other food he eats and always eats aside from the goat.<br />

  • STICK FIGHTING DAY IN SURI TRIBE - ETHIOPIA<br />
<br />
Donga stick fights take place after the harvests, the Surmas count days owing to knots on a long stem of grass or jags on the trunk of a tree dedicated to that specific use. Each knot or jag representing a single day, it means that if the bark of the tree is cut with 8 jags for example, the Donga will take on the 8th day of the month.<br />
<br />
 Before a Donga, some Suri drink the fresh blood of their cattle during the Blood meal ritual. It consists in making a small incision in the cow’s carotid artery with a special sharp arrow in order ro make it bleed almost two liters of its bloodThe warrior has got to drink the entire content in one as blood coagulates quickly. Sometimes warriors do not manage to drink all of the blood contained in the calabash in one mouthful, and vomit all the blood they swallowed .Surma believe the cow’s blood is full of vitamins that enable warriors to be fit.<br />
<br />
The warriors stop when crossing a river in order to wash themselves, before decorating their bodies for the fight. They decorate themselves by sliding the fingers full of clay on the warrior’s bodies. This dressing up and decoration is meant to show their beauty and virility and thus catch the women’s attention.<br />
Body paintings are also especially made during the long periods spent in the camps where the cattle is kept by young men and women. These camps are located far away from the village and the pratice of body painting is an informal and play event seen as an expression of liberty and independance for these young people. Body paintings unfortunately show the increasing impact of foreign tourists. Suri people have developed and created new body paintings as well as new dress codes in order to attract tourists. They have understood that foreigners would be more eager to take pictures from them with such decoratives paintings and ornaments, and to pay for it.
