Nature's Energy: Fruits and Veggies
Plant-based foods such as fruit and vegetables are great sources of energy because they absorbed sunlight directly and stored the energy as starches. Starch is one of the body’s primary source of complex carbohydrates. The foods we eat are basically stored energy from the sun that has been transformed from one form to another. In order to obtain the most amount of energy from plant-based food, you need to eat the ones that are organically grown. Also, eat them fresh and choose the ones that are bright in color.
Fruit and vegetables are full of minerals, proteins, fiber, complex carbs and many other important nutrients for increasing your energy and health. When shopping for fruits and vegetables, buy the ones that are organic because they are not treated with pesticides. Otherwise, make sure you wash the fruits before eating them.
Fruits and vegetables health benefits
- Most are rich in polyunsaturates and essential amino acids, low in cholesterol and contain no harmful saturated fats
- High in fiber which may lower cholesterol, prevent colon cancer and increase absorption of nutrients
- May help protect the body against certain cancers
- Full of health-enhancing phytochemicals, which play an important role for boosting the immune system and metabolism
- Full of enzymes which help the stomach to digest food
- Low in calories, great for weight management
You should try to eat at least 2 servings of fruits and 3 servings of vegetables per day, more is even better. Doing this will increase your energy and health because your body will be nourished with the necessary nutrients. At least 50 percent or more of your calories should come from plant-based food. Whenever possible, eat them raw because cooking them will destroy a good portion of their nutrients.

I'm not sure if these are students or what. Considering this series was taken in China, I would say these will be sold on the black market of some sort. Who knows. Make sure to check out Michael Wolf's personal site so you can view the whole set, the artist's copy pretty much everything, from pop art to modern and contemporary. I guess there's a "fake" market for everything!

Just came across Stina's Flickr account. Some pretty cool pictures to look at and pass the time. I really enjoy pictures where you can tell the photographer is still trying to figure out what their main subject will be, and they post the process of it.

CHILDHOOD
Jorge Pineda (b. Dominican Republic 1961)
Childhood is the time when we start to build up our personality, and it is supposed to be the happiest time of our lives, but social violence makes it difficult to adjust. In order to be strong, children make masks where they can hide fear, so they can play with the negative idea they have of themselves. These masks shield the feelings reflected in society as I show in Mambrú, with its child soldiers who have been taken away and used as instruments of destruction.

1994 Shooter Confesses to shooting 2pac (on the rappers 40th Birthday)
A man suspected of robbing and shooting Tupac Shakur at Quad Recording Studios in 1994 has confessed, accusing James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond of orchestrating the crime. The confession comes as Rosemond continues to elude federal authorities, who are currently seeking the music businessman in connection with a cocaine distribution investigation.
The confession of Dexter Issac, a former associate of Rosemond, who is currently serving a life sentence in New York City, was reported by AllHipHop.com, who spoke with Issac. The site has an image of the statement posted on their site. The statement, which also vaguely implies that Bad Boy mogul P. Diddy continues to hide some secrets, was released in part due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, and in retaliation for Rosemond’s previous statements demeaning Issac’s character, calling him an informant.
In early May, a warrant was reportedly issued for Rosemond’s arrest, allegedly regarding cocaine distribution. Rosemond has conducted business with a litany of high-profile musicians, including Akon, Wyclef and Game.
Tupac himself seemed to think Rosemond was responsible for the attack, stating so on several occasions. The Quad Studios incident has long been viewed as the escalating catalyst of the Tupac-Biggie, East Coast/West Coast drama which ultimately, many feel, led to the murders of both rap titans.
A small mention seemingly regarding the murders was made by Issac which could be seen as casting a suspicious cloud over Sean “P. Diddy” Combs. Issac states, “Jimmy, you and Puffy like to come off all innocent-like, but as the saying goes: You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people, all of the time.” The statement does not elaborate further, only going on to rhetorically ask whether or not Rosemond plans to “flip” on Diddy when the feds catch up with him.
In issuing his statement, Issac told AllHipHop, “I want to apologize to [Tupac's] family. I am trying to clean it up to give [Tupac and Biggie's] mothers some closure.”
