For teens in Bali, adulthood bites different. Balinese teens come of age with a traditional ceremony that involves grinding down their upper canine teeth—a metaphorical and physical break from their animal instincts and ancestral roots. This ceremony is seen as the final responsibility a parent has to their child. VICE Indonesia follows Gek Sri as she undergoes her own “defanging” ceremony to see how Bali’s youngest generation of adults is taking on a tradition with deep roots on the island and ask whether a new set of teeth is “adulting” or actually adulthood.

Shot with clarity and thoughtfulness, these striking photographs not only provide a glimpse of the Gurung honey hunters’ unique lifestyle, but also serve to chronicle the death of this old tradition. Honey hunting is threatened by several things: the decreasing number of honeybees due to climate change; the dwindling number of honey hunters, as more and more young people in the tribe are reluctant to learn the craft; the growing medicinal reputation of Himalayan honey, which has resulted in the government opening honey-harvesting rights to contractors instead of indigenous tribespeople so that honey can be exported and sold to people in other nations; and the increasing commercialization and offering of “honey hunt tours” to tourists, which leads to the depletion of resources for traditional honey hunters.

When America left the military base after the war, the remaining goods—everything from weaponry to bottles of Coca-Cola—were offered to the French and British at a very low price, 6 cents to the dollar. However, the colonizers were going on the assumption that should they refuse to buy the items, the U.S. military would be forced to simply leave them behind for free. The Americans were having none of this. To spite the British and French, the military made the rash decision to drive all of the vehicles, food, clothing, drinks, and other equipment to a wharf on the southern coast of the island. The army then drove all of the vehicles into the sea, used bulldozers to dump the rest of the supplies over the wharf, before also driving the bulldozers into the sea, ensuring that the European countries would not be able to get their hands on the items at all, free or otherwise. Millions of dollars worth of goods were completely destroyed over the period of those two days, rendered unusable at the bottom of the ocean. As a result of the dumping, the waters were contaminated with fuel, rubber, metal and other waste, leaving the local Vanuatuans shocked at the carnage, though they salvaged what they could once the Americans had finally departed.

Since the birth of the USA on July 4, 1776 with the Declaration of Independence, the country has been at war for 93% of its existence. It all started with the American War of Independence from 1775 to 1783. Now, to most Americans that conflict was more than necessary. Had it not taken place it is doubtful that King George III of Great Britain and his Parliament would have simply waved goodbye to the Thirteen Colonies and wished them well for the future.

Costa Rica is getting something right. The Central American country of stunning beaches, rainforests, and biodiversity, is also known for its stable democracy and educated population. Its president, Carlos Alvarado Quesada, said at Davos 2019: “Seventy years ago, Costa Rica did away with the army. This allows for many things. Eight percent of our GDP is invested in education because we don't have to spend on the army. So our strength is human talent, human wellbeing.” By comparison, World Bank data shows the US spent less than 5% of its GDP on education, while the world average is just 4.8%. President Alvarado said not spending on the armed forces also allowed his country to protect the environment. Costa Rica generates more than 99% of its electricity from renewable sources, with the vast majority from hydroelectric dams. While this is a major achievement, electricity only represents a small proportion of the country’s energy usage, as many homes use gas for heating, and fuel for their cars. Air quality in Costa Rica, as in many countries around the world, is a concern, and some parts of the capital San Jose breach World Health Organization limits for air pollution.

And no one can figure out how it was built in the first place. ----- Satellite images are shedding new light on a mysterious city built on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Explorers first discovered the ruins of Nan Madol nearly 100 years ago, on the island of Pohnpei in Micronesia, the Independent reported. The island is situated about 1,600 miles from Australia, and 2,500 miles from Los Angeles, California. Some locals in Pohnpei refuse to go near the ruins of the city, believing it to be haunted, according to the Independent. Horror writer H.P. Lovecraft even took inspiration from Nan Madol for the fictional, sunken city of R’lyeh in one of his short stories. “Why would somebody build a city out in the middle of the ocean?” archaeologist Patrick Hunt said in a new episode of the “What on Earth?” show on the Science Channel, which discusses the satellite images. “Why here, so far away, from any other known civilization?” The city, which thrived from 1200 to 1700, was built on coral reefs, and is connected via a series of canals. Nan Madol served as a major political and religious city in Polynesia, and some locals call the ruins “Soun Nan-leng,” meaning “Reef of Heaven,” according to the Pohnpei Visitors’ Bureau. The ruins include tombs, baths, and temples. Nan Madol is made up of 92 artificial islands spread across 200 acres, Smithsonian Magazine reported. Some of the walls are 25-feet high, and the total weight of black rocks totals 750,000 metric tons, making it a larger undertaking than the Egyptian pyramids, according to the same report. Without the use of pulleys or other tools, the mystery lingers as to how the city was ever built. “We don’t know how they brought the columns here and we don’t know how they lifted them up to build the walls. Most Pohnpeians are content to believe they used magic to fly them,” an archeologist from Pohnpei told Smithsonian.
