  • I Have Seen North Korean People Smiling!<br />
<br />
"Some say about North Korea that the only ones who smile are the "Dear Leaders" on the propaganda stuff", says Photographer Eric Lafforgue<br />
<br />
But after 6 trips in the most closed country, I can say that North Koreans are not the robots many depict... They also smile!<br />
<br />
Even if they suffer from the lack of freedom and a dictatorship, they can have happy moments in their life... This was not easy to take those pics as the guides that always follow you are always suspicious, even when they see happy people!<br />

  • Hubble Spots a Cluster of Galaxies That Looks like a Massive Smiley Face<br />
<br />
Hot on the heels of their new and improved Pillars of Creation image, NASA just published a new photo that appears to be the largest happy face in existence. The eyes alone are two different galaxies, SDSSCGB 8842.3 and SDSSCGB 8842.4, and the smile is an optical illusion caused by something called strong gravitational lensing, a phenomenon where the gravitational pull of an object is so powerful it causes spacetime to warp, effectively distorting the light around it.<br />

  • Rescue Cat Turns Her Crooked Jaw into a Beautiful Smile<br />
<br />
She has a crooked jaw, but this incredibly happy kitty has never stopped loving life.<br />
Duchess had a rough beginning to her life which left her with a crooked jaw. She was found as a stray after being hit by a car. When they brought her to the vet, she was in pretty bad shape, but Dr. Meyer didn't give up on her and reparied her jaw.<br />
<br />
"Her chances of survival were slim, but she was a fighter and pulled through," Crystal Tate told Love Meow.<br />
"The day I first met Duchess, her mouth was just beginning to heal and the feeding tube had just been removed, and she was very thin...<br />
<br />
"The lowest meow caught my attention; her eyes showed so much sadness but her purrs showed so much love and hope."<br />
"Everyday I would spend time with her, petting her, talking to her and when the doctors asked me if I could give her a home a few weeks later I knew immediately we were meant to land in each other lives."<br />
"It was a transition for us both, I had never cared for a special needs kitty and she had never experienced life as a special needs kitty but we learned together."<br />

"The lowest meow caught my attention; her eyes showed so much sadness but her purrs showed so much love and hope."<br />

Duchess had a rough beginning to her life which left her with a crooked jaw. She was found as a stray after being hit by a car. When they brought her to the vet, she was in pretty bad shape, but Dr. Meyer didn't give up on her and reparied her jaw.<br />

  • Ethiopian Tribe Recycles Modern World’s Discards Into Fashion Accessories<br />
<br />
The Daasanach are a semi-nomadic tribe numbering approximately 50,000 individuals who live in the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia. In the past, the tribe roamed from place to place herding livestock around open areas according to the seasons and the changing availability of water. But over the last fifty years, having lost the majority of their lands, they have also grown dependent to agriculture. Like many tribes in the region, the Daasanach have moved to areas closer to the Omo River, where they attempt to grow enough crops to survive.<br />
<br />
French photographer Eric Lafforgue has spent several years documenting the life and culture of these people, and how they have changed under the influence of modern manufactured goods. An interesting fashion trend amongst the Dassanach is their elaborate headgear, which they make from the strangest of materials — bottle caps, wristwatches, hairclips, and other discarded pieces of plastic and metal.<br />
The Daasanach spend months collecting bottle caps and scratching around for cash to pay for broken watches, which the women makes into jewelry and wigs. These are worn by both men and women, young and old.<br />
<br />
“Younger girls and children get the most basic version of the wig, while the oldest women are treated to the heaviest numbers with the most embellishment,” wrote The Daily Mail. “Men are only allowed to wear the bottle top wigs until they marry - after that, they create small clay headpieces decorated with a colourful harlequin pattern and enlivened with a feather, although the latter is only allowed after a hunt or a successful clash with an enemy.”<br />
<br />
“The young men love to wear necklaces and earrings while the girls have bigger muscles because they do the most difficult work like carrying water,” Eric Lafforgue told the newspaper.<br />

The Daasanach are a semi-nomadic tribe numbering approximately 50,000 individuals who live in the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia. In the past, the tribe roamed from place to place herding livestock around open areas according to the seasons and the changing availability of water. But over the last fifty years, having lost the majority of their lands, they have also grown dependent to agriculture. Like many tribes in the region, the Daasanach have moved to areas closer to the Omo River, where they attempt to grow enough crops to survive.<br />
<br />
French photographer Eric Lafforgue has spent several years documenting the life and culture of these people, and how they have changed under the influence of modern manufactured goods. An interesting fashion trend amongst the Dassanach is their elaborate headgear, which they make from the strangest of materials  bottle caps, wristwatches, hairclips, and other discarded pieces of plastic and metal.<br />
The Daasanach spend months collecting bottle caps and scratching around for cash to pay for broken watches, which the women makes into jewelry and wigs. These are worn by both men and women, young and old.<br />
<br />
Younger girls and children get the most basic version of the wig, while the oldest women are treated to the heaviest numbers with the most embellishment.<br />
Men are only allowed to wear the bottle top wigs until they marry - after that, they create small clay headpieces decorated with a colourful harlequin pattern and enlivened with a feather, although the latter is only allowed after a hunt or a successful clash with an enemy.<br />
<br />
The young men love to wear necklaces and earrings while the girls have bigger muscles because they do the most difficult work like carrying water, To prevent their headgears from getting spoiled while they sleep (apparently, they never take them off).<br />

The Daasanach are a semi-nomadic tribe numbering approximately 50,000 individuals who live in the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia. In the past, the tribe roamed from place to place herding livestock around open areas according to the seasons and the changing availability of water. But over the last fifty years, having lost the majority of their lands, they have also grown dependent to agriculture. Like many tribes in the region, the Daasanach have moved to areas closer to the Omo River, where they attempt to grow enough crops to survive.<br />

French photographer Eric Lafforgue has spent several years documenting the life and culture of these people, and how they have changed under the influence of modern manufactured goods. An interesting fashion trend amongst the Dassanach is their elaborate headgear, which they make from the strangest of materials — bottle caps, wristwatches, hairclips, and other discarded pieces of plastic and metal.<br />

  • Oscars 2017: Australian movie Tanna nominated for best foreign language film , Tanna, set in the tiny South Pacific nation of Vanuatu, <br />
these amazing images inside the tiny Island set to win an Oscar<br />
<br />
Very few people had ever heard of Vanuatu until very recently. Some have heard of it in reference to being a « tax heaven » such as Luxembourg or Singapore. Others knew of it is an archipelago located in the South Pacific Ocean. To the north-east of Australia, 110 different languages are spoken in Vanuatu. <br />
<br />
Then almost instantaneously, Vanuatu became known across the world when hurricane Pam hit. Winds at 340 km/h battered the 83 islands, making headlines around the world. 80 % of the homes, vegetation, and the farms were destroyed. But miraculously, less than 20 people perished. <br />
<br />
Scientists attribute the low body count to their unique melanesian culture. The inhabitants of Vanuatu, the « Ni-Vanuatu », have lived on these small islands for centuries and have retained many of their original customs, or « kustom », as they refer to them.<br />
<br />
The island which holds culture in highest regard is Ambrym. Setting foot there in 1774, Ambrym owes its name to Captain Cook. Ambrym means « here are yams ». <br />
