Small World - The Painter | euromaxx
...We look at the works of French painter Luc Grateau who paints portraits of people on subway tickets. Grateau does this while traveling the Paris subway system: He opens up his hand-sized artboard and paints portraits of his fellow passengers on it. Most don't mind. He also sketches at the Louvre: There he is copying some of the world's greatest paintings in mini-form -deutschewelleenglish
Sudan's cyber-defenders take on Facebook protesters
By Deepa Babington
KHARTOUM, March 30 (Reuters) - Medical student Ahmed Widaa was content to support Sudan's ruling party from the sidelines for years, until the uprisings in Tunisia and neighbouring Egypt made him worry that Sudan could be next. With revolutionary zeal, the 21-year-old now lobbies online to defend the status quo -- one of many pro-government youth taking to the Internet to hit out at anti-government protests in the oil-producing country...[continued]

Absinthe minded: The ruin of bohemians is back in all the best bars
By Alice-Azania Jarvis
The Green Fairy. L'atroce sorcière. The Green Deity. Whatever you call it, few drinks have captivated the collective imagination quite like absinthe. Believed – wrongly, as it transpired – to bestow hallucinogenic qualities upon the drinker, its prohibition across much of 20th-century Europe secured its place as the most risqué of beverages...[continued]

The 10 most segregated urban areas in America
By Daniel Denvir
Decades after the end of Jim Crow, and three years after the election of America's first black president, the United States remains a profoundly segregated country. That reality has been reinforced by the release of Census Bureau data last week that shows black and white Americans still tend to live in their own neighborhoods, often far apart from each other. Segregation itself, the decennial census report indicates, is only decreasing slowly, although the dividing lines are shifting as middle-income blacks, Latinos and Asians move to once all-white suburbs -- whereupon whites often move away, turning older suburbs into new, if less distressed, ghettos...[continued]

By Brian Palmer
A crowd of Libyans fired guns in the air and chanted slogans in support of Muammar Qaddafi at a rally in the city of Sirte on Monday. Isn't it kind of dangerous to shoot bullets into the sky?
Yes ... well, probably ... maybe ... it kind of depends....[continued]

The Korean American Success Story
Of all the groups of immigrants coming to the US each year, Koreans are said to be among the most successful, many reaching the highest levels of achievement in this country in a single generation. The BBC's Katie Beck went to New York to meet some of those who came, and found the American Dream. Sunhee and SeoJun Kim came to New York City from South Korea in 1986. They immigrated with hopes of giving their son Ron, then seven, every advantage and opportunity...[continued]
What Location Tracking Looks Like
by Seth Schoen
Your cell phone company knows everywhere you go, twenty-four hours a day, every day. How concrete is this fact for you? It's very concrete for Malte Spitz, a German politician and privacy advocate. He used German privacy law — which, like the law of many European countries, gives individuals a right to see what private companies know about them — to force his cell phone carrier to reveal what it knew about him. The result? 35,831 different facts about his cell phone use over the course of six months...[continued]
