Terrain Face in Google Maps
The terrain in Alberta, Canada accidentally forms what looks like a human face when viewed from the air or when viewing the satellite pic in Google Maps.
Osmington White Horse
The Osmington White Horse, outside Sutton Poyntz, UK. This prehistoric figure is carved into the white chalk of the hillside – such horse carved shapes are called "Leucippotomy".
Google Escher Effect pic from Houston
Here's another weird satellite pic from Google Maps of some downtown Houston skyscrapers. This effect has become known as the "Escher Effect", or the "Google Escher Effect".
Heart-shaped island highlighted by Google Earth becomes hit with lovers
The 130,000 square yard islet of Galesnjak came to prominence after its unusual shape was highlighted on Google Earth.
Land Art near Munich Airport
Land Art or "Earth Art" appearing in a field near the airport in Munich, Germany.
KFC space logo
Yum! Brands Inc created the logo near Rachel, Nevada, and claimed it's the first ad that can be seen from space. If you recall, the same company had previously wanted to beam a laser ad up onto the moon for Pizza Hut, but had later scaled back to buying ad placement on the side of a Russian rocket.
Firefox Logo
Crop circle art made in the shape of the iconic Firefox Logo near Portland, Oregon,
Where's Waldo in Google Maps?
Canadian artist Melanie Coles built a large image of the iconic "Waldo" onto a rooftop at an undisclosed location in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Portrait of Ghenghis Khan in Google Maps
Out of some sort of fear that they might forget who he was, the people of Mongolia have carved the likeness of Ghenghis Khan onto a hillside outside of Ulaanbaatar. (See it in Google Maps.)
The Vitruvian Man by Da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man – one of the world's most recognizable illustrations – is rendered here in crop art in Germany.
Man-Shaped Lake in Brazil
The Palm Islands of Dubai
The Palm Islands are artificial islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on which major commercial and residential infrastructure will be constructed. They are being constructed by Nakheel Properties, a property developer in the United Arab Emirates, who hired Belgian and Dutch dredging and marine contractor Jan De Nul and Van Oord, some of the world's specialists in land reclamation. The islands are the Palm Jumeirah, the Palm Jebel Ali and the Palm Deira.
Oprah Maze
She's got a massive syndicated show and a magazine called O, and she was dubbed the most powerful celebrity in the world by Forbes. Why shouldn't Oprah get her own corn maze? An Arizona farmer created this 2004 tribute to the TV talk-show host.
Iraq's Bloody Lake
This blood-red lake outside Iraq's Sadr City garnered a fair share of macabre speculation when it was noticed in 2007. One tipster told the tech blog Boing Boing that he was "told by a friend" that slaughterhouses in Iraq sometimes dump blood into canals. No one has offered an official explanation, but it's more likely that the color comes from sewage, pollution or a water-treatment process.

Religious institutions are afforded a limited exemption from the statutory prohibition against religious discrimination set forth in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VII"). This exemption permits religious institutions to require individuals hired to work in connection with the organization's religious activities to adhere to the same religious beliefs as the employing organization. Religious institutions also may be able to rely on this exemption as a defense against claims alleging non-religion-based discrimination, such as sex or pregnancy discrimination. For example, a religious institution may assert that an employee was terminated, not because she was pregnant, but because she violated the organization's religious tenets or code of conduct.
The courts will, however, carefully scrutinize the facts of each case to determine whether the employer's challenged employment decision was motivated by an impermissible criterion (such as the employee's pregnancy) or a permissible criterion (such as enforcing religious tenets). Religious institutions seeking to defend their actions based on the religious exemption must be able to show that their decision was based on the permissible criterion and was not influenced by the impermissible criterion. Sending "mixed messages" about the real reason for the decision will undercut the employer's ability to secure summary dismissal of the employee's claim. A good example of this is discussed below in Hamilton v. Southland Christian Sch., Inc. Religious institutions also must be able to show that they have uniformly applied the religious tenet, upon which the challenged employment decision was based, to males and females alike. Evidence of disparate treatment will defeat the organization's defense and subject it to liability for sex discrimination.
Religious institutions also should remember that unless the "ministerial exception" applies, they are subject to all of the other prohibitions against employment discrimination set forth in Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and comparable state and local equal employment opportunity laws. This includes, but is not limited to, discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, pregnancy, national origin, disability and age. Under a recent decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, the "ministerial exception" is an affirmative defense that must be raised and proven by the religious institution. In addition, the courts still are defining the precise contours of the ministerial exception, in terms of the employees to whom it applies, the employment decisions that it encompasses and the types of claims that it bars. Therefore, religious institutions are well advised to proceed cautiously when making and implementing employment decisions at any level.

FROM TOP: Ankle-strap wedge ($920), Mise en Dior necklace in leather and resin ($3,600), and Lady Dior handbag in metalized lambskin ($4,500), Anselm Reyle for Dior. 309 N. Rodeo Dr., Beverly Hills, 310-859-4700
Fashion and art have always been inextricably intertwined— think Yves Saint Laurent's 1965 Mondrian dress or the designs Elsa Schiaparelli conjured in the 1930s from sketches and photos by Salvador Dalí. Early this year, another haute result of the marriage between fashion house and artist arrived in Los Angeles: a limited-edition accessories collection courtesy of artist Anselm Reyle's collaboration with Christian Dior.
Known for his large-scale abstract paintings and found-object sculptures, Reyle delved deep into the label's DNA, pinpointing such iconic pieces as the Lady Dior handbag and infusing them with boldly toned twists (i.e. the signature cannage topstitching in neon pink or orange on the Lady Dior, or camouflage prints and just a splash of topstitching on an ankle-strap wedge).
"Most of my work builds on objects that already exist, which I then transform," says Reyle. Los Angeles is one of only six US cities to offer the collection, officially available through March. But don't wait—the anticipation is already so great procrastinators will likely be out of luck.

This article contains major spoilers for the ending of Skyfall.
When you spend your weekdays riding motorcycles across European rooftops, engaging in fisticuffs atop moving trains, downing every glass of liquor you can find, bedding random women without so much as a "So what do you do for a living?", and killing everyone who gets in your way without so much as a quaver, you're probably trying to make up for some longstanding mommy or daddy issues. We've got to imagine that James Bond turned out the way he did in part thanks to a healthy dose of childhood trauma linked to ol' Ma and Pa Bond.
As far as Bond's parents go, all we've ever really had were our own machinations. For the past 50 years, the issues of 007's family and childhood have been skirted by the film franchise, with nary a mention of whomever his parents might be. But if you've already seen the new release of Skyfall (which, if you're reading this spoiler-filed article, you should have!), then you know that some of our questions regarding the lineage of 007 (Daniel Craig) are brought to light in the third act. Hoping to find a secure residence for himself and his beloved boss and mother-figure M (Judi Dench) while awaiting the arrival of the film's villain (Javier Bardem), Bond chooses to retreat to his childhood home — a remote ranch in the foggy hills of Scotland.
There, Bond revisits, and introduces audiences to, the graves of his deceased parents: Andrew Bond and Monique Delacroix Bond, who died when Bond was just a young boy. As the still-living ranch caretaker Kincaide (Albert Finney) reveals, a preadolescent James took hospice in a cavernous tunnel beneath the family's property immediately following his parents' passing, surfacing several days later with the darker, steel demeanor that envelops the Bond we know.
It might well be the first time the movie series has treated its audiences to such substantial information about its super spy's upbringing. But to those who have traveled beyond Eon Production's Bond pictures in their investigations of MI6's golden boy, this scene might serve as more of a callback than a revelation.
The Bond Backstory
In Bond creator Ian Fleming's twelfth (and second to last) book about the secret agent, You Only Live Twice (published in 1964), the author first expanded upon his mainstay character's mysterious background. In this book, Fleming introduced his readers to Andrew Bond (a Scottish representative of an armaments company, educated at Fettes College in his nation's capital of Edinburgh) and the Swiss-born Monique Delacroix Bond. The pair was said by Fleming to have died mountain climbing when James was only 11, which is in keeping with the vague information provided by Finney's character in the conclusive chapter of Skyfall. The same novel introduces a paternal aunt who raised James in England following the death of his mother and father.
Following Fleming's initial foray into the Bond backstory, other media began exploring these elements of 007. In 1973, Fleming's biographer John Pearson wrote the book James Bond: The Authorized Biography of 007, which extrapolates upon the character's personal and professional histories. Bond's family members — "authorized" and otherwise — would find life in their own material. Most notably, Bond's nephew, James Bond, Jr.... a relative who, for all intents in purposes, cannot exist.
The Junior Problem
This character first came to fruition in the 1967 novel The Adventures of James Bond Junior 003½, penned by a still unknown author (using the nom de plume R.D. Mascott). A quarter of a century later, the character was revived in cartoon form for the short-lived series James Bond Jr., which featured the iconic hero's sprightly young nephew grappling with the offspring of Bond nemeses and their respective offspring (i.e., Goldfinger's nefarious daughter Goldie). But to those affixed on the consistency of the Bond universe, there arises a fatal error with James Bond, Jr.
Despite Junior's accreditation as Bond's nephew in both incarnations of the character, Fleming's texts have cited Bond as an only child. If one was impassioned enough to preserve the canon of James Bond, Jr., to seek a loophole in the form of dubbing the aspiring agent a nephew not by blood but by marriage, they'd still be sorely disappointed. Bond has been married once: to the ill-fated Teresa "Tracy" Draco (as featured in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, played by Diana Rigg) a reformed con artist born to criminal kingpin Marc-Ange Draco and an unnamed mother who died when Tracy was young. Like Bond, she was an only child, incapable of herself having any nieces or nephews that she might then transmit, by marriage, to James' claim.
There is truly only one possibility: Tracy's first husband, the duplicitous Count Giulio di Vicenzo. In the interest of keeping James Bond, Jr., a legitimate possibility in the reality of Bond, one could surmise that the boy was a child of one of the Count's siblings — we have no reason to believe that he, unlike his wife and her next husband, was necessarily an only child. Perhaps the child was born during the brief period of time that Tracy (still close with her in-laws despite a failed marriage to Giulio) was married to James prior to her death. And maybe James, too, had warmed his way into the hearts of the considerably less seedy di Vicenzo sibling and spouse, earning a namesake in their son, his nephew-by-marriage-by-marriage. Okay, it's far-fetched, but it's the only way it works.
The point is, even with Fleming's suggestions, with Pearson's followup tome, with the sort of roundabout rationalization you'll find above, and with the ending of Skyfall, James Bond's childhood is moreover a mystery. How the cold, dark man came to be is left largely up to the imaginations of fans... and honestly, that's not a bad thing. Such an iconic figure, who has maintained such a cherished position in the hearts and minds of audiences since the 1960s, deserves a malleable personal history. A tale we can create for him, in the way we deem most suitable for the hero. And, if we can all be a little bit honest, in a way that we deem most suitable for ourselves... after all, who doesn't want to believe that he or she is kind of like James Bond?
