I just finished reading my latest issue of Discovery Channel Magazine and these images represents interesting articles.
Image #1: Detox Your Home - home plants are great candidates for counteracting organic pollutants in the air. Examples are golden pothos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epipremnum_aureum), philodendrons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philodendron), chrysanthemums, gerbera daisies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerbera), areca palm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areca), corn plant, and Janet Craig dracaena (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracaena_deremensis). Oh, and another thing, keep your windows closed at night and in the early morning (when air pollution is usually at its worst).
Image #2: Herod's Triumph - King Herod of Judea is usually remembered for his biblical slaughter of innocent children, but he did some good stuff too. Like building one of the greatest man-made structures of its time - the enormous artificial harbour at Caesarea. It's the size of approximately 25 football pitches aged 2000 years old. Ruins are being preserved and constructed along with modern renovations.
Image #3: Jeff Lieberman's shot of chalk hitting water. A host for Discovery Channel "Time Warp", Lieberman's crews use 2 different video cameras: the Photron Fastcam SA1, which can capture up to 675,000 frames per second at reduced resolution, and the Phantom V-10 (macam kereta plak), which can shoot HD quality up to 1,000 frames per second. Each camera costs approximately US$100,000.
Till then, cheers.
