power abuse it. Initially the "Owl of Minerva" was their symbol, and still holds strong imagery with the

INDONESIAN PUPPET (WAYANG KULIT) SHOWS NOW IN ENGLISH

And in Indonesia one man is vowing to keep the traditional custom of shadow puppets alive. He
is now giving shows in English to reach the tourists and the younger generation. Shadow puppeteering,
or "wayang," is over 500 years old. Skillfully moving his fingers behind a white screen, Ki Sigit Adji
Sabdo Prijono enchants his English-speaking audiences with his large selection of shadow-casting
puppets. He says that there is no problem at all as far as communication as long as they know wayang
and they know who is Rama and who is Sinta. The important thing is we do not change the story
Javanese format. Wayang stories are usually based on mythological characters who convey tales with a

among the younger Indonesians who live abroad. With his idea of translating wayang into English,
Prijono is hoping to bring this age-old tradition out from behind the shadows.

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY WHEN YOU STOP EATING SUGAR

So when you decide to stop eating sugar and eating a lot of added sugar from things like soda
and cookies and candy, a few physiological changes happen within hours. Your levels of a hormone
called insulin will start to come down. What we call an anabolic hormone. It favors building up body
mass or retaining fat. Its really really hard to lose weight and to burn fat calories when youve got a lot
of insulin circulating. But when you stop eating a lot of sugar it makes it a lot easier for your body access
stored fat and burn it for energy. Over a few days and weeks youll notice that the lipid levels in your
blood start to drop. Another important change that we see over prolonged periods of time is that your
palate changes. And so things that used to taste normal to you in terms of their sweetness level will start
to taste really unpleasantly sweet. And your palate adjusts to require a lot less sugar to feel satisfied.
Your palates changing will make it easier for you to sustain that change in your diet. Because youre not
going to crave as much and sweet things dont taste as good to you. As they might have before.
 HERE ARE 10 MOST BIZARRE NATURAL PHENOMENA

Nature has been known to pull some amazing stunts, enlisting each of its elements to render
observers awestruck and mystified.
1. Fire tornadoes. Sometimes referred to as firenadoes for short, the whirling inferno funnels
occur when ground winds pick up flames and escalate into ember-spitting forces
2. Mammatus clouds. Their bumpy, bubble wrap-like texture typically forms on the underside of
thunderstorm clouds that are losing their strength
3. Volcanic Lightning. If a volcano erupts with enough force, it can produce lightning in addition
to spitting out loads of glowing magma
4. Sailing Stones. How the rocks on the bottom of Death Valley National Park's Racetrack Playa
are able to move across the landscape, leaving trails in their wakes, puzzled many for decades
5. Mysterious booms. They've been reported as sounding like fireworks, explosions, and
slamming doors, but what causes these random, and often quite loud, environmental noises is
anybody's guess
6. Namibia's fairy circles. About 11 hundred miles of the brush covered Namibian dessert is
dotted with barren round patches
7. Ball lightning. Recent scientific study has suggested that they're really just masses of energized
soil nanoparticles that are shot into space when lightning hits the earth
8. Blood Falls. That there's a waterfall looks a lot like blood in Antarctica is amazing on its own,
but the fact that it flows red makes it even more extraordinary
9. Penitentes. These frozen spikes occur at high, cold altitudes where the air is dry and the sun's
rays are direct. Rather than melt, the snow and ice just evaporate
10. Lenticular clouds. These flat clouds form primarily in high altitudes where geographic features
interrupt the airflow
