  • Luang Prabang, Laos. Every morning at dawn, barefoot Buddhist monks and novices in orange robes walk down the streets collecting food alms from devout, kneeling Buddhists. They then return to their temples (also known as "wats") and eat together. This procession is called Tak Bat, or Making Merit.

  • Deception Island near Pendulum Cove's thermal waters in Whaler's Bay, a protected harbor. Deception Island, off the Antarctic Peninsula, is the site of a circular flooded volcanic caldera. On the shore are rusting remains of Whaling operations (1911 to 1931) and the ruins of a WWII British base, Port Foster (1944-1967). Evacuated after a volcanic eruption, then closed permanently in 1969 after another eruption. Faith D'Aluisio visits graves after a kayak trip. MODEL RELEASED.

  • A sea of camels at the Birqash Camel Market outside Cairo, Egypt, where camel broker Saleh Abdul Fadlallah works. (Abdul Fadlallah is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.)   Domesticated since 2000 BC, camels are used less as beasts of burden now, and more for their meat. Because they can run up to 40 miles per hour for short bursts, dealers hobble one leg when they are unloaded at the Birqash market. They are marked with painted symbols to make them easier for buyers and sellers to identify.

  • Site Trinity, ground zero, on the White Sands Missile Range in S. New Mexico. Site of the world's first atomic explosiion on August 6, 1945. The atomic bomb was developed by the Manhatten Project. The Manhattan Project refers to the effort during World War II by the United States, in collaboration with the United Kingdom, Canada, and other European physicists, to develop the first nuclear weapons. Formally designated as the Manhattan Engineering District (MED), it refers specifically to the period of the project from 1942-1946 under the control of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, under the administration of General Leslie R. Groves, with its scientific research directed by the American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. The project succeeded in developing and detonating three nuclear weapons in 1945: a test detonation on July 16 (the Trinity test) near Alamogordo, New Mexico; an enriched uranium bomb code-named "Little Boy" detonated on August 6 over Hiroshima, Japan; and a plutonium bomb code-named "Fat Man" on August 9 over Nagasaki, Japan.

The term genome describes the full set of genes expressed by an organism's chromosomes. A gene is a section of DNA that instructs a cell to make a specific protein. The task of constructing such a complete blueprint of genetic information for humans is divided into two main phases: mapping genes and other markers on chromosomes, and decoding the DNA sequences of genes on all the chromosomes. Numerous laboratories worldwide are engaged on various aspects of genome research. MODEL RELEASED.

DNA sequencing of chromosomes involves decoding the base pair sequence of sections of DNA - most usefully, those sections called genes which encode specific proteins. Sequencing and mapping - surveying each of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes to locate genes or other important markers - are two phases in the human genome project.

  • Inukshuk (stone marker) above the town of Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada. An inukshuk is a stone landmark used as a milestone or directional marker by the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic.  The Arctic Circle, dominated by permafrost, has few natural landmarks and thus the inukshuk was central to navigation across the barren tundra.

  • (1992) Forensic scientist at a scene of crime. The scientist here is using a laser to look for possible traces of semen at the scene of a murder. The area is sprayed with a marker, which binds to proteins in the semen. If bound, the marker fluoresces under the light from the laser. This was the scene of the murder of a 49-year-old woman who had been stabbed repeatedly. Traces of semen may be used to provide a DNA fingerprint, possibly linking a suspect to the scene.  Flushing, New York. (Scientist is Detective Roussine, NYPD.) DNA Fingerprinting. MODEL RELEASED.
