Temple made from recycled glass bottles
A Buddhist monk built the Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew temple with more than a million recycled glass bottles. Temple is located in Thailand’s Sisaket province, about 600 km (370 miles) northeast of Bangkok. The Thai Buddhist temple has found an environmentally friendly way to utilize discarded bottles to reach nirvana — using them to build everything in its premises, from a crematorium to shelters and toilets.
The Most Crowded Beach in World
One regular summer day at beach in Korea…
These photos are from Haeundae Beach (South Korea). During the summer time, and especially on weekends, the area becomes a vertiable wall of humanity with more than 100,000 people packed in on a narrow, one mile strip of sand. More on wikipedia.

25 Shocking Facts About American High Schools
Parents of teens understand being kept in the dark as their teens begin to strive for more independence from their parents. While this may be a natural part of growing up, it doesn’t mean that parents should be in the dark about their children’s schools. It may surprise you to learn about the educational statistics, condition of the school buildings, teacher salaries, and even the safety of teens at Americans high schools.
Education
From funding issues to under-educating students to innovative ways to reach at-risk students, the following facts all revolve around high school education.
- Underfunded. Many high schools are seriously underfunded, resulting in less opportunities for students to succeed, particularly in low-income or urban schools. In Chicago, more money is spent housing adult prisoners ($21,000 annually) than educating students ($10,000 annually). Continue reading Shocking Facts About American High Schools

How marijuana affects your driving performance
MARIJUANA AND DRIVING
Whenever the subject of reforming marijuana laws comes up, someone always brings up the issue of driving while high, which makes sense. It’s an established fact that alcohol increases a drivers accident risk – but does that same risk apply to marijuana? The scientific research out there shows that cannabis is rarely a factor in car accidents, and has much less of an impact on the psychomotor skills needed for driving than alcohol does.
In fact, when it comes to speed and focus, high and drunk drivers actually have the exact opposite reactions. Drivers under the influence of marijuana are aware of their impairment and compensate for it by slowing down and over-compensating their focus, while drunk drivers tend to drive in a more risky manner proportional to their intoxication.
There’s a large amount of research out there on the effects of marijuana on driving, and the results are fairly consistent: Marijuana has a measurable yet relatively mild effect on psychomotor skills, yet it does not appear to play a significant role in vehicle crashes, particularly when compared to alcohol. Check out the conclusions from the US Department of Transportation study:
* Current users of marijuana prefer THC doses of about 300 ug/kg to achieve their desired “high”.
* It is possible to safely study the effects of marijuana on driving on highways or city streets in the presence of other traffic.
* Marijuana smoking impairs fundamental road tracking ability with the degree if impairment increasing as a function of the consumed THC dose.
* Marijuana smoking which delivers THC up to a 300 ug/kg dose slightly impairs the ability to maintain a constant headway while following another car.
* A low THC dose (100 ug/kg) does not impair driving ability in urban traffic to the same extent as a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.04g%.
* Drivers under the influence of marijuana tend to over-estimate the adverse effects of the drug on their driving quality and compensate when they can; e.g. by increasing effort to accomplish the task, increasing headway or slowing down, or a combination of these.
* Drivers under the influence of alcohol tend to under-estimate the adverse effects of the drug on their driving quality and do not invest compensatory effort.
* The maximum road tracking impairment after the highest THC dose (300 ug/kg) was within a range of effects produced by many commonly used medicinal drugs and less than that associated with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08g% in previous studies employing the same test.
* It is not possible to conclude anything about a driver’s impairment on the basis of his/her plasma concentrations of THC and THC-COOH determined in a single sample.
So stoners are safer because they’re paranoid?
