Cohabitating with the dead in Manila

By Phoenix Rose

It is hard to believe that many people can cohabitate with the dead. However, this happens in North Cemetery, the massive graveyard in Manila, Philippines. The cemetery houses more warm bodies than cold corpses.

10,000 Filipino families live there. Some families end up there almost by accident. Others are too poor to afford to live in the big city. In other words, they basically have nowhere to else to go. People also work to support their lives from collecting scrap metal or repairing tombs. According to Filipino custom, it is obligatory for children to carry coffins for the belief of keeping them safe from vengeful spirit.

There are also basketball hoops, stalls, and mini-markets among the tombs

The Cemetery Houses More Warm Bodies Than Cold Corpses

People there are hired to maintain and repair tombs

The house could be the family mausoleum or their employers' mausoleum.

Oprah Winfrey, the most popular talk-show host of the highest-rated daytime talk show in TV history, is without any competitors in this vast media empire. Even, Winfrey was named the richest African-American in Forbes magazine 2009 and ninth most influential U.S. liberal in the Telegraph 2007. However, her dominant position in the world is totally in contract with her upbringing. Oprah Winfrey was born in a poor family to an unwed teenaged mother in Mississippi. When moving to Tennessee during high school, she took a job in radio and then was chosen for the evening news.

Princes William & Harry: Like Mother, Like Sons

By Vanessa Ford

Late Princess Diana, who was distinctly remembered for her charity work and her support of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, had great influences on her sons, Prince William and Harry.

The statement “like mother, like sons” is actually true in the case of Diana’s kids. After her death in a Paris car crash in 1997, newly-wed William and bachelor Harry have continued to carry out what she did in the past from joining social activities to help the homeless, the elder and orphans.

In honor of her 50th birthday on July 1, let's take a look at charitable works the late princess of Wales and her sons had done through the times.

Princess Diana smiled when a child played with her royal gems during a visit to a hostel for HIV-positive and abandoned children in Sao Paolo, Brazil, in 1991. Her son, Prince Harry, held a six-year-old orphan Mutsu Potsane at the Mants'ase children's home in Lesotho, South Africa, where he did a charitable work called "Sentebale", literally menas Forget Me Not, in memory of his mother

Princess Diana delivered food for the kids at the Nemazura feeding center, a Red Cross project for refugees during a four-day tour of Zimbabwe in 1993. Diana’s sons, Princes William and Harry, packed boxes of emergency supplies, bound for victims in the Maldives at a Red Cross depot in Bristol, England

Diana cuddled a baby during a visit to an orthopedic center for landmine victims in Luanda, Angola, in 1997. Her son William cradled a three-week-old Sina Nuru in the Winnicott Baby Unit at London's St. Mary's Hospital

Diana with her charming smile posed with a four-year-old Camila Fiocco during a visit to Northwick Park Hospital in July 1997. Following Diana’s work, Prince Harry played with Samantha Ledster, 11, in the oncology department of London's Great Ormond Street Hospital. He made the trip on his 18th birthday

Diana as a patron of Centrepoint charity for the homeless talked to young people about their plight during a visit to a London hostel in 1997. Prince William, who took over his mother's position as Patron, chatted with a resident of a Centrepoint shelter

Diana and young William met many people on St. David's Day in 1991, which was one of the ways she taught her sons, William and Harry, how to communicate well. Sixteen years later, William was warmly welcomed by his objects and became a prince of heart

Diana visited a patient at St. Joseph's Hospice in Hackney, London in 1985. Her son William spent time sitting down with a group of delighted octogenarians at the lunch club for the elderly at the Sighthill Community Education Center in Glasgow, Scotland

Diana posed with French soldiers serving in the NATO-led peace force at the Sarajevo airport two weeks before her death. And now, princes William and Harry entered Sandhurst Royal Military Academy

Jamie Wardley: Tremendous Sand Drawings

By Elisa 11

Accustomed to create small sand sculptures or buildings, the British sand sculptor Jamie Wardley has recently chosen a different expression: painting the giant sand drawings which can only view fully from the above. In the other words, Jamie Wardley turns beaches into oil paintings by his talented and tries his best to send important messages through his giant sand drawings.

Jamie first came into the world of sand sculpting when being a young boy on a trip in Norway. At that time, he met a sand sculptor who succeeded in transforming two sand blocks into The Queen and Mr. Bean during just some hours. Jamie has such impressive talent that he started asking all questions in his mind about his art. He tentatively went towards the sand and took a tool in each hand, and began working on his very first sculpture. The Sand Sculptor checked up on him from time to time and gave a few tips here and there. After that he said: “I’m very impressed with what you’ve done. I think that you could become a very good sand sculptor one day. If you are ever in Norway again and would like to practice in my studio in Oslo, then just give me a call.” As a result, the young British started making ice sculptures and impressive sand drawings, and now he’s one of the world’s most famous beach artists in the world.

On beaches all over the north of England and Scotland, 32-year-old Jamie Wardley devotes himself to draw eye-catching artworks

For this sand sculptor, "Time is a big challenge when you’re working on a beach." explains the 32-year-old from Bradford. "You have about six hours from when the tide has gone out before it comes back in again.” Moreover, losing his work because the tide is impossible to avoid of a sand artist. "I don’t mind it when they disappear, that’s all part of it." says Jamie.

A Mother's Day sand picture is created by sand artist Jamie Wardley on Blackpool Beach. The Bradford artist has always taken all of his works using an aerial photographer to capture their scale
