  • A street is covered in blood as families butcher a cow in preparation for the Eid al-Adha annual religious festival in Dhaka, Bangladesh. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) Bangladesh has the world's fourth largest Muslim population, and during the three days of Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, Dhaka's streets run red with the blood of thousands of butchered cattle. The feast comes at the conclusion of the Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. In both the Koran and the Bible, God told the prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son to show supreme obedience to Allah (God). At the last moment, his son was spared and Ibrahim was allowed to sacrifice a ram instead. In Dhaka, as in the rest of the Muslim world, Eid al- Adha commemorates this tale, and the meat of the sacrificed animals is distributed to relatives, friends, and the poor.

She is 20 years of age; 5 feet tall; and 86 pounds. While nearly half of Bangladesh's population is employed in agriculture, in recent years the economic engine of Bangladesh has been its garment industry, and the country is now the world's fourth largest clothing exporter, ahead of India and the United States. Dependent on exports and fearing international sanctions, Bangladesh's garment industry has implemented rules outlawing child labor and setting standards for humane working conditions. MODEL RELEASED

Over 1 million low-income residents use more than 1,200 nonprofit soup kitchens and food pantries in New York City. Some of the soup kitchens offer other benefits, such as showers, counseling, and entertainment. As in most big U.S. cities, it's easier to find a free meal in New York City than a place to sleep. Each night, more than 39,000 people sleep in the city's municipal shelter system, while thousands more sleep on the street. MODEL RELEASED.

  • The family of Abdul Azziz's brother picks qat outside Sanaa, Yemen. Although qat chewing isn't as severe a health hazard as smoking tobacco, it has drastic social, economic, and environmental consequences. When chewed, the leaves release a mild stimulant related to amphetamines. Qat is chewed several times a week by a large percentage of the population: 90 percent of Yemen's men and 25 percent of its women. Because growing qat is 10 to 20 times more profitable than other crops, scarce groundwater is being depleted to irrigate it, to the detriment of food crops and agricultural exports.

The Counter Intelligence program at MIT Media Lab in Boston, Massachusetts is focusing on developing a digitally connected kitchen of the future. By exploring new technologies they hope to expand the art of food preparation as well as social interactions in the kitchen. One aspect of their research is to create kitchen utensils that contain memories. In this image a digital nose sniffs a handful of garlic.

  • Roboticist Rodney Brooks of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory shares a slinky moment with his creation, Cog (short for cognitive), the robot he has been developing since 1993. Brooks is less concerned with making it mobile than with creating a system that will let the robot reliably tell the difference between static and social objects; for instance a rock and a person. In the resolution of such apparently simple distinctions, Brooks suggests, is a key to understanding at least one type of human learning. Cambridge, MA.
