Remember: The Devil likes money more than people's health.
Doctors in South Korea are reporting a surge in "digital dementia" among young people who have become so reliant on electronic devices Photo: Getty Images
By Julian Ryall, Tokyo
8:36AM BST 24 Jun 2013
South Korea is one of the most digitally connected nations in the world and the problem of internet addiction among both adults and children was recognised as far back as the late 1990s.
That is now developing into the early onset of digital dementia – a term coined in South Korea – meaning a deterioration in cognitive abilities that is more commonly seen in people who have suffered a head injury or psychiatric illness.
"Over-use of smartphones and game devices hampers the balanced development of the brain," Byun Gi-won, a doctor at the Balance Brain Centre in Seoul, told the JoongAng Daily newspaper.
"Heavy users are likely to develop the left side of their brains, leaving the right side untapped or underdeveloped," he said.
The right side of the brain is linked with concentration and its failure to develop will affect attention and memory span, which could in as many as 15 per cent of cases lead to the early onset of dementia.
Sufferers are also reported to suffer emotional underdevelopment, with children more at risk than adults because their brains are still growing.
The situation appears to be worsening, doctors report, with the percentage of people aged between 10 and 19 who use their smartphones for more than seven hours every day leaping to 18.4 per cent, an increase of seven per cent from last year.
More than 67 per cent of South Koreans have a smartphone, the highest in the world, with that figure standing at more than 64 per cent in teenagers, up from 21.4 per cent in 2011, according to the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning.
Dr Manfred Spitzer, a German neuroscientist, published a book titled "Digital Dementia" in 2012 that warned parents and teachers of the dangers of allowing children to spend too much time on a laptop, mobile phone or other electronic devices.
Dr Spitzer warned that the deficits in brain development are irreversible and called for digital media to be banned from German classrooms before children become "addicted."
Dartagnan: When you phone with a cell phone, you must use a headphone so you avoid a part of the microwave radiation on your head. Never put the cell phone directly on your ears.
Dartagnan: It is better to tell the truth to people rather than hiding the truth to calm them down. Because one day the truth will be known by them.
Everybody should know nowadays that microwave radiations are dangerous for your health. Everybody should also know that cell phones and wi-fi produce microwave radiation for the telephone calls or internet connections.
Our goal is not only to denounce the dangers of microwave radiations in our society, but also to show you the ways, you can protect yourself from them.
You can use these new earphones on your iPad to avoid a "part of the microwave radiation" on your head. When you put your cell phone in your bag, you can use an anti radiation bag to avoid the microwave radiations on your body.
Sharapova: Without my headphone I never use my cell phone because of the microwave radiation that my head receives when I phone. My health is important for my tennis career. Sometimes I prefer to send SMS rather than phoning all the time...
Don't be afraid to protect your health against microwave radiation...
Internet addiction among kids in Japan is becoming such a big problem that the country is launching Internet fasting camps to wean kids off their smartphones, computer and gaming devices.
Internet fasting camps are being planned by Japan's ministry of education as a solution to the country's problem of web addiction among kids. More than 500,000 Japanese children between the ages of 12 and 18 are believed to be addicted to the Internet.
"It's becoming more and more of a problem," Akifumi Sekine, a spokesperson for the ministry, told the Daily Telegraph. "We estimate this affects around 518,000 children at middle and high schools across Japan, but that figure is rising and there could be far more cases because we don't know about them all."
To combat the problem of web addiction among kids, the ministry is asking the government to fund Internet fasting camps, where children will have no access to the Internet. These immersion programs will be staffed by education experts to help kids overcome their dependency on the virtual world. Kids will be away from their computers, mobile phones and hand-held devices and encouraged to have "real communication with other children and adults".
At the Internet fasting camps, children will be able to take part in outdoor activities, team sports and games. Psychiatrist and clinical psychotherapists will also be on hand to provide counselling for kids who find it especially difficult to part with their computers.
The need for Internet fasting camps is sadly not a trifling matter. Internet addiction is being blamed for the rise of sleep and eating disorders among young people in Japan, while extreme cases have even led to symptoms of depression and deep vein thrombosis. Studies also suggest that a child's performance at school is negatively impacted by too much Internet usage.
Japan is not the only country where Internet fasting camps are needed. Last year, it was reported that South Korea is the world's most wireless nation, and the first to pass 100 percent wireless penetration. That means that for every 100 people living in South Korea, there are 100.6 wireless Internet accounts, bringing its own unique challenges. Internet addiction is seen as a real danger in South Korea. In 2002 and 2005, two young men died after marathon gaming sessions. The country began sponsoring programs to help those suffering from Internet addiction. In 2009, 975,000 people were treated. That same year, a high-profile story involving a married couple so addicted to online gaming they let their infant daughter starve to death shocked the country.
For those in the U.S. suffering from Internet addiction, there is Digital Detox, a tech-free retreat in California where people can go to get away from their smartphones and gadgets.
Would you send your kids to Internet fasting camps? Let us know in the comments.

Blue Eyes in FlamesWhen the prince sees the flower bloom from the palm of her hand, he orders her arrest.She is only seven years old.He takes the flower from her and keeps it, even though he knows he shouldn't. He puts it a vase, or, rather, his servant does that for him. The flower doesn't ever die, even years later.It's dawn of a December morning, and he's cold. But still, he stands next to his father dutifully and looks at the little girl with blue eyes that are now black from seven nights sleeping on a cold, dungeon floor behind bars. They cut off her dark brown hair during that time. She's tied to the pyre, and there are seven guards around her, holding sharper swords than normal, not that she could get away. There's one man dressed in black holding an unlit torch, with a mask over his face to prevent his death. His father raises his arm, and the torch is lit.She locks her gaze to his, and he blinks at her. It's like she expects him to prevent it. He couldn't, though, he can't. She scares him, w

Ypsilanti police are still searching for the person dubbed the "mystery pooper." Someone has been, as the Associated Press politely puts it today, "soiling slides at an Ypislanti playground over the last six months." So, of course, someone purchased an electronic billboard along I-94 near Huron St. at exit 183 that delivers multiple calls for action: For instance,"Help us flush the pooper." The company that purchased the billboard, Adams Outdoor Advertising, knows how to reach the world in the 21st Century, branding each billboard with a hashtag for the public utilize in its efforts: #ypsipooper. WJBK-TV says the billboard also toggles through other rich lines, such as: "Do your civic doody, report the pooper #YPSIPOOPER" "Help us catch the poopetrator #YPSIPOOPER." You can have the runs, but you can't hide. They're still looking for you, Mystery Pooper.

It's a really, very cool idea. Paxahau, the good people behind the Movement Electronic Music Festival, are hosting a series of warm-up events, or previews, to the big festival which takes place Memorial Day weekend. On Thursday evening, Movement moved into the Urban Coffee Bean on Grand River in Detroit. While Dj AvA and Chuck Flask & Keith Kemp ably worked the decks, the regular coffee shop goings on continued behind them. It made for an interesting and amusing webcast experience – one guy was taking a nap on camera, while others supped coffee and tappd their feet. It should come as no surprise – the Urban Coffee Co. people have always been big supporters of electronic music. The place includes a DJ stand, and co-owner Josh Greenwood encourages customers to bring their own vinyl and spin on the open turntables. Not on Thursday night though. This being a coffee shop, and it not being particularly late at night, the music remained pretty chill throughout. DJ AvA (real name Heather McGuigan) includes Beth Orton, Madonna, the B-52's, Daftpunk and David Byrne among her list of influences, so you know that she's capable of both whipping up a storm and also […]

CNN has a message to all prospective landlords: Head to Wayne County! Occupancy and rental rates are increasing, the report says, creating an opportunity for serious returns on investments. In fact, after comparing the median sales price of homes to average monthly rents in nearly 1,600 counties, RealtyTrac found that Detroit's Wayne County offers landlords the best return on their investment in the nation. Investors who buy homes in the metro area can expect a 30% gross annual return from rents. That's triple the national average of 10%. RealtyTrac, an online real estate information company, says the county offers investors low prices for larger homes — with a median price of $45,000. "We've got some steals here," said Rachel Saltmarshall, a real estate agent and immediate past president of the Detroit Association of Realtors, told CNN. "There's a six-bedroom, 6,000 square-foot home in a historic district selling for $65,000." For more, read the entire report here.

This Saturday, audiophiles across the world will venture out to their favorite independent record stores in search of limited releases that quickly become collectors items. The third Saturday of April marks the fairly new international holiday Record Store Day. There are certainly dos and don'ts to know for RSD — like where to shop, and how to shop. That's right, there is an etiquette to shopping on Record Store Day and violating that code makes you look like a real asshole. In my experience of celebrating Record Store Day, I've seen stores use a few different tactics as far as stocking the special releases. Some establishments will set up a table, somewhere in the store, where a few shoppers at a time can flip through records in a calm and contained manner. Other places will have a similar setup, with all the releases at a table, but shoppers ask the store employees for the releases they want. It's like a record nerd stock exchange. This process gets loud, slightly confusing and incredibly annoying — this is where elbows start getting thrown. Then, there are places that put the releases on the shelves, usually categorized by size — twelve inches with the twelve inches, seven inches with the seven inches and […]

The Detroit Electronic Music Festival, which was supposed to be making a triumphant return this year, has been canceled. A statement on the website says that the festival will be back in 2015. Back in November, Ford Field hosted an announcement party for DEMF, where it was revealed that a new DEMF festival would take place at Campus Martius Park in Detroit over the July 4th weekend. "I'm proud to be involved in the biggest and best electronic music festival in the world," said Juan Atkins. "The future's here. This is techno scene." Not the immediate future, apparently. The DEMF people claim that the M-1 rail construction is partially to blame for the cancellation/12-month-postponement. Read the full statement here. Follow @City_Slang

Despite a turbulent 2013 which saw Metro Times change owners, move buildings and change editors twice, we picked up eight awards at the Society of Professional Journalists Awards on Wednesday night. The big winner was Robert Nixon, design manager, who picked up a first place for "Feature Page Design (Class A)" for our Josh Malerman cover story, first for "Cover Design (Class A)" for our Halloween issue (alongside illustrator John Dunivant), and a second in that same category for our annual Lust issue. In the news categories, our esteemed former news editor and current contributing writer Curt Guyette won third in "General News Reporting" and third in "Best Consumer/Watchdog" – both Class A – for the Fairground Zero and Petcoke Series respectively. Music & Culture Editor Brett Callwood placed third for his Josh Malerman cover story in the "Best Personality Profile (Class A)" category, and former editor Bryan Gottlieb picked up a couple of Class C awards for "Editorial Writing" and "Headline Writing" (third and second, respectively). We were also pleased to learn that our investigative reporter Ryan Felton won first place and an honorable mention for work published while at the Oakland Press. The MT ship is steady now, […]

Alternative Certification Isn't Alternative
September 18, 2007
Chester E. Finn, Jr.
Diane Ravitch
At first glance, the explosive growth of 'alternative' teacher certification--which is supposed to allow able individuals to teach in public schools without first passing through a college of education--appears to be one of the great success stories of modern education reform. But, as this report reveals, alternative certification programs have so far failed to provide a real alternative to traditional education schools. In fact, they represent a significant setback for education reform advocates.

The Autonomy Gap
April 11, 2007
Steven Adamowski
Though most public school principals believe that effective leadership of their schools requires authority over personnel decisions (e.g., staff selection, deployment, dismissal), they report having little such authority in practice. Based on a series of interviews with a small sample of district and charter-school principals, the report shows that most district principals encounter a sizable gap between the extent and kinds of authority that leaders need to be effective and the authority that they actually have.

Personality Test: The dispositional dispute in teacher preparation today, and what to do about it
September 08, 2005
William Damon
The standards of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Excellence (NCATE) are of critical import for America's future teaching corps and will wield disproportionate influence for decades to come. Over the past fifteen years, 25 states have outsourced the approval of teacher preparation programs to NCATE by adopting or adapting its standards as their own; the other 25 have various 'partnerships' with the organization. Which makes it all the more disturbing that central to these standards is the call for teachers to possess certain 'dispositions' such as particular attitudes toward 'social justice.' As Professor William Damon of Stanford University explains in Fordham's latest Fwd: Arresting Insights in Education, NCATE's framing of the 'dispositions' issue has given education schools 'unbounded power over what candidates may think and do.' This is leading to (understandable) charges of ideological arm-twisting and Orwellian mind-control.

In just more than five years, Mary Anne Stanton has led 13 Catholic schools from high-poverty Washington, D.C. neighborhoods into a consortium that has not only strengthened each school's financial health, but has also greatly improved the academic performance of the children the schools are charged with educating. To get there, she's installed a new standards-based curriculum, shaken up old bureaucratic approaches, and streamlined operations. In its latest Fwd: Arresting Insights in Education, the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation presents a compelling story of just how much change can be made by one determined school leader with a vision.

Comments about Race Day Arm Warmers:
These are lighter than the other arm warmers that Brooks offer. The material is silky smooth (similar to equilibrium shirts) and provides warmth for a run that starts cool and ends warmer. I you like to run 'cool' and the start of your run requires a long sleeve but knowing by the end it will be singlet temperatures this is a good product for you. Very light weight and easy to carry when not using.

Comments about Race Day Arm Warmers:
I hate being cold, so these are great for starting out on a brisk morning. They are easy to peel off and are very lightweight. I usually just tie them to my phone belt when I am ready to take them off. If it's not too hot outside, the lighter-colored ones also seem to work well for sun protection. I just wish they came in more colors!

The bulletin of Atlanta University
|1 of 4
This page
Loading content ...
NUMBER 64. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. APRIL, 1895. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, ATLANTA, GA., Is a Christian Institution, unsec-tarian in its management and influence, wholly controlled by an independent Board of Trustees, and receiving no aid from city, state or national government, or benevolent society. Has 216 students in College, Normal, College-Preparatory and Sub-Normal departments, under 15 officers and teachers. Trains teachers and leaders of their race from among the sons and daughters of the Freedmen of the South. Has sent out 275 graduates from College and Normal courses, nearly all of whom, together with hundreds of past undergraduates, are engaged in teaching and other useful work in Georgia and surrounding States. Owns four large brick buildings, on sixty-five acres of land, one mile from the centre of Atlanta, Ga.; library of 8,000 vols., apparatus and other equipment—all valued at not less than a quarter of a million dollars. Having no endowment (except about $33,000, mostly for special objects), the Institution requires at least $20,000 a year in donations from its fiends, to continue the work now in hand, and a fund of about $500,000 to put that work on a permanent basis. Annual scholarships of $40 each are asked for to provide for the tuition of one student for one year, over and above the nominal tuition fees paid by the student. Subscriptions of $100 and upwards, or any smaller sums, are solicited for general current expenses. Remittances of donations, or inquiries for further information, may be addressed to Pres. Horace Bumstead, D. D, Atlanta, Ga. Friends at the North, who attended the concerts of the Atlanta University Quartet last summer and heard Mr. Johnson sing his original mule song and relate his humorous mule story, will read with interest his article of a more serious nature in another column in which he tells what Atlanta University has done for him. Mr. W. A. Stearns, the superintendent of the printing office, is dividing his time this year between that work and teaching some branches of natural science, in which he is very proficient. The Bulletin is set up in our office and considerable job work is done. A small class is taking lessons in printing. Atlanta University is to have an exhibit at the coming Exposition in Atlanta, and we have received a favorable reply to our application for space in the Negro building. It is to be hoped that our usual industries will be in full operation at the opening of the next school year. The religious interest among the students seems earnest and constant. At the mid-week prayer meeting, attendance upon which is voluntary, it is not unusual for every student to be present who has not a good reason for absence. On one memorable evening in January six young men, who had long been professing Christians but had become indifferent, renewed their allegiance to Christ and his service. At the last communion four young women united with the college church on confession of faith. Mr. Hunton, the college secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for colored organizations, has recently made us a visit and addressed the school at a Sunday night service and held a conference with the members of the college association. We express our appre- ciation of the character of his services by heartily wishing him to come again. The public rhetorical exercises given in Ware Memorial Chapel on occasional Friday nights have usually attracted many old pupils and friends from the city and have been enjoyed and appreciated. A prominent educator has said that the colored man is to be the orator of the next century. A class in English composition were asked by their teacher to write essays telling what they would do if they had a million dollars. Almost all said they would generously remember Atlanta University. Some would give 'for specified objects while others would place their gifts in the hands of the trustees. Now, if those who really have the millions knew as much a-bout the work of Atlanta University as these students know, we are sure they would actually do as these students think they themselves would. The University Glee Club recently gave an enjoyable concert in the chapel, at which a good audience was present. Mrs. Atkinson and three graduates, Miss Lilla Badger, Mrs. A. McN. Herndon and Dr. J. R. Porter, assisted, and each one was encored. Mrs. Herndon gave a concert in November which netted the school over sixty dollars, and purposes to give others. The honest penny turned by the Club was satisfactory to them, and well-earned. We are hoping to receive prompt and full reports from all our graduates in response to our open letter to them in a recent number of the Bulletin. There should be close and sympathetic relations between the University and all its alumni. And the still larger number of those who took only a partial course may be sure that the University has a deep interest in them.

The '13 U.S. Open golf tournament at Merion was one of the most challenging in recent memory. The world's most talented players grew frustrated with speedy greens and thick rough all week in Pennsylvania. Englishmen Justin Rose emerged victorious at the 2013 US Open by posting a final score of even, good enough to win by two strokes over six-time US Open runner-up Phil Mickelson. Anyone who had U.S. Open golf tickets for that event surely will not forget the experience anytime soon, and you can have that same feeling with 2014 U.S. Open golf tickets from GoTickets.

Update on Retrospective Review of FDA Regulations
Earlier this year, President Obama issued Executive Order (EO) 13563 and outlined his plan to create a 21st-century regulatory system that is simpler and smarter and that protects the health and safety of the American people in a pragmatic and cost-effective way. One goal of EO 13563 is to target rules already on the books to increase flexibility and remove regulations that are out-of-date, unnecessary, excessively burdensome, or in conflict with other rules.
On May 26, in support of EO 13563, more than two dozen Federal agencies released plans that identified initiatives with the potential to eliminate tens of millions of hours in reporting burdens, and billions of dollars in regulatory costs. FDA, as part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is included in the HHS Preliminary Plan for Retrospective Review of Existing Rules (HHS Plan), which can be seen at http://www.hhs.gov/open/recordsandreports/execorders/13563/draft/index.html. The HHS Plan identifies regulations already being modified or streamlined and identifies additional candidates for further review.
The HHS Plan highlights the activities FDA is undertaking in support of EO 13563. For example, we are reviewing the "Bar Code Rule" to assess the costs and benefits associated with it and to determine if the rule should be modified to take into account changes in technology that have occurred since the rule went into effect. The Bar Code Rule requires certain human drug and biological products to have a linear bar code on the label so health care professionals can use bar code scanning equipment to verify that the right drug (in the right dose and right route of administration) is being given to the right patient at the right time. Stay tuned for a solicitation of information on the Bar Code Rule. For further information about other FDA activities in support of EO 13563 see http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/Transparency/TransparencyInitiative/ucm257692.htm
As we go forward, we are very interested your input. As I wrote in our April 26 blog, at http://fdatransparencyblog.fda.gov/2011/04/26/what-needs-fixing-and-how-can-we-fix-it/, we do not operate in a vacuum and we value the input of all our stakeholders. On April 27, 2011, we published a notice in the Federal Register requesting comment and supporting data on which, if any, of our existing rules are outmoded, ineffective, insufficient or excessively burdensome and thus be candidates for review. Please review our Federal Register notice and the HHS plan and submit your comments to FDA by June 27, 2011 at http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FDA-2011-N-0259-0001. You can also submit comment on the HHS plan at http://www.hhs.gov/open/recordsandreports/execorders/13563/draft/index.html
Thank you,
Leslie Kux, Assistant Commissioner for Policy (Acting)
June 6, 2011 at 12:11 am | #1
In this rapidly changing world I think a review of policies and rules is an excellent idea. Additionally, asking for and integrating outside comments is a good way to discover new ideas and problems that need to be resolved. I think what you are doing is a good first step and I hope it leads to meaningful change.
June 8, 2011 at 5:44 pm | #3
Most definetly our "old way" of doing things should be reviewed and purged. I agree with Bill that "integrating outside comments" will lead to quite possibly some excellent feedback. Just by using social media as outlets of information is one step that not only the FDA can use but all federal, state and local governments as well.
June 29, 2011 at 3:16 pm | #8
I agree with President Obama's policy about FDA regulations. It seems fair enough. It's good to remove all the outdated rules and regulations. This way, the service of the FDA will be faster and more efficient. Cutting the bureaucracy means better service to the masses.

Japan Expo 12th Impact
After an incredible 11th Impact, the biggest festival for Japanese culture and entertainment is back! Discover the richness of this unavoidable event and enjoy!
Japan Expo is also
on Facebook and on Twitter!
© All rights reserved © All rights reserved
Since the first edition, Japan Expo assigned itself two golden words: knowledge and entertainment. From Manga to J-Music, Cosplay shows to martial arts, the festival tackles as much traditional Japanese culture as contemporary pop culture.
Japan Expo is not a mere festival but a real party event! Among the many exhibitors you can find publishers from the Manga, Anime and video games markets, a great deal of shops, Young Designers under Japanese influence, as well as hundreds of fanzines and amateur booths.
The festival is also a place of amazing meetings between passionate people who like to gather around thousands activities: conferences, fashion shows, martial arts initiations, previews, Cosplay, Karaoke contests, video game tournaments, showcases…
© All rights reserved © All rights reserved
But Japan Expo would be nothing without its prestigious guests! Mangaka, chara-designers, singers, directors, authors… Coming from Japan, France and other countries they have the opportunity here to meet their public and other artists.
Among the new activities of the last festivals, let's mention initiation to base-ball (the Japanese national sport) thanks to the exceptional Batting Center, the development of the traditional area, the apparition of Kyûdô, traditional archery, Japanese tuning and musical discoveries with the J.E. Music Box.

After all of the craze of moving into college, everyone is finally settling in. However, living on your own is an adjustment and there are several things everyone overlooks. GUS has great items to solve some of these issues college students are facing. Furthermore, students won't need to leave their dorms or dig deep into their pockets; solutions are just a click away and these very reasonably priced items can be shipped directly to your school.
Making time to do your laundry is difficult enough with all of the work and social events that come along with the college experience. However, even more challenging is trying to sort your darks from lights without laundry baskets or space to create piles. Thomas Frank is a blogger from College Info Geek and an expert on college living (check out his blog at http://collegeinfogeek.com). His solution to this problem is to put all of his clothes into a "hamper, drag it all to the laundry room, and separate [his] whites and colors by throwing them into different machines." This is a great resolution as long as there are plenty of empty machines. GUS has a great product to help avoid this issue completely!
Our Mesh Laundry Tote has various interior sections intended to ease your laundry troubles. This washable mesh tote has separate compartments for lights and darks, along with two useful pockets for delicates, soap, dryer sheets and more. With the Mesh Laundry Tote, you can eliminate the time and fuss surrounding laundry.
Everyone remembers to bring a backpack or shoulder bag to lug books to and from class. However, what many people forget is that these books need a place to stay within your dorm room. Piling books on your desk can get very disorganized and messy, but not to worry, GUS has an easy fix.
The School Wally is a hanging organizer that can easily be hung on the back of a door or the side of a bunk bed and will provide space and organization for books, papers, projects, and more! Now you can keep your work separated by subjects, along with extra storage for writing utensils, pencil sharpeners, electronics, and more. The School Wally comes with sturdy hooks that simply slip over a door or rod, and is a super useful item that will create organization and extra space in your dorm room.
Sharing a bathroom in college with lots of people is usually a brand new experience for most Freshman. While most kids probably remembered to pick up a shower caddy before they left for school, a lot of students will find that many models are inconveniently large, hard to navigate, and they trap way too much water which quickly results in mold and mildew. At GUS, our Mesh Bath Tote is the perfect size for all of your shower and bathroom products and with the mesh material, water does not get trapped at the bottom of the tote. Additionally, in most college communal living, long shower lines mean much shorter showers than everyone is used to. Another tip from Thomas is that the "showers are pretty crowded from around 7:30am to 9:30am," so try to avoid the bathrooms at these times. Our Mesh Shower Tote can help you get in and out of the shower in a snap with its large pockets to hold all your products and its flexible handle that fits over most showerheads.
College life can be stressful enough, so hopefully these products from GUS will make your daily lives just a little bit easier! For more helpful products, check out our back to school collection.

Customer Reviews
- beautfiul piece Review by cookie
I had to wait a while for it because production was backed up, but this is a high-quality and beautiful piece of jewelry - couldn't be more pleased. The craftsmanship is top-notch, with flawless white gold, nice gemstones, and the best feature for comfort while changing it - the internally-threaded body that the ball screws into. I've bought from thechaingang before and will be back again!

The Big Banana was built on the Pacific Highway near Coffs Harbour, Australia in 1964. The reason for construction is unknown, but it is modeled after a prize-winning banana from the '60's and is the gateway to banana-themed shops and tours of the adjacent plantations. Source
Located right off the Oxley Highway in Wauchope, New South Wales, Australia, the "Big Bull of Wauchope" was created by dairy farmer John Eggert to stimulate tourism in his town. Before it was torn down, the Bull housed a gift shop and a deli. Source
Sac City, Iowa is home of the world's largest ball of popcorn. It is stored in a shed, but don't worry, there are billboards along the highway with directions. Source
Built in 1990, this gigantic beer can is located above the Grand Hotel in Cobar, Australia. It is five meters tall and holds the Guinness World Record for largest beer can in the world. Source
This is the first of a number of food-related water towers. When the Dixie Cup Corporation moved to Lexington, Kentucky in 1958, one of the first things they did was turn the water tower on the company land into a huge Dixie cup for the whole town to admire. Source
Built by, and in the town of Guyra, New South Wales, Australia, the "Big Lamb" was created to promote the town's booming potato and lamb industry. It also comes in handy during the town's annual week-long Lamb and Potato Festival. Source
The Big Avocado marks the entrance of Tropical Fruit World (doesn't that sound like a fun place to visit?) in Duranbah, Australia. Source
In 1998, Fresh Food Market of Belconnen, Australia teamed up with the Australian Cancer Society to build a place where parents and their children can relax in between running errands. The playground, shaded by this bright mushroom, opened later on that year. Source
In 1969, these huge beer tanks belonged to the G. Heileman Brewing Company Old Style brewery. An anonymous Wisconsin resident decided to paint the tanks in the likeness of a giant six-pack. When the G. Heileman brewery was bought by the La Crosse brewery in 1999, they decided to keep the giant six-pack and painted the likeness of their beer on the tanks. Source
During the peak of the industrial era, Detroit made a name for itself as a good city for the production of iron stoves. At the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893, Michigan Stove Company created this 25-foot monument to represent the city of Detroit. It was re-erectd in 1998 for Michigan's State Fair. Source
The Stawnichy Meat Processing factory, located in Canada, has been run by the Stawnichy family since 1959. Famous for its kielbasa, the family had this statue created in honor of the factory. Source
The people of Alberta, Canada must really love pierogies. In 1993, they had this statue created in honor of the famous Ukrainian food. The fork was not part of the original statue, and had to be added on later due to some confusion over what the 27 foot tall statue was of exactly. Source
In October of 1949, the Brooks Foods Plant turned this water tower into a giant advertisement for their original ketchup. It cost them 23,000 dollars and is the only thing that remains from the original Foods plant. Source
East of San Diego, California, there is a small town called Lemon Grove. Naturally, it is famous for its lemons and naturally the town's main tourist attraction is its massive monument to the sour citrus fruit. Source
Lulling, Texas, who's industries have nothing to do with the watermelon, is home to this 154 food water tower. Source
For over 60 years, married couple George and Elizabeth James have run a pecan farm on the outskirts of Brunswick, Missouri. In 1947, they discovered a new species of pecan, named it the Starking Hardy Grain pecan and built a replica of it out of concrete (completed in 1982). It's a great marker for Brunswick's annual Pecan Festival, held every October. Source
Since 1973, this gazebo has acted as a pedestal for a 25-foot tall corn cob made of fiber glass. It is loctaed in Olivia, Minnesota. Source
Castroville, California is home to this giant artichoke. If you decide to visit, be sure to grab lunch at the Giant Artichoke Restaurant (located next to this monument) or join in the fun at the annual Artichoke Festival. It's not as lame as it sounds; Marilyn Monroe was the festival's first artichoke beauty pageant queen in 1948. Source
Staton, Iowa has reason for the 1971 construction of this colorful water tower coffee pot. It was the home of actress Virginia Christine, who starred in many Folgers' coffee commercials as Mrs. Olson. Source
Until the 1950's, Winlock, Washington, was the second largest egg-producing town in America. The egg was created in 1923 using canvas, as part of the celebration of the opening of the Pacific Highway. It was replaced with a plastic egg in 1944, then a fiberglass egg in the '60's. In 1993, it was replaced again, by a local chicken farmer named Vern Zander. In case you haven't caught onto the pattern by now, there IS an Egg Day Festival, celebrated by the town in June. Source
Towards the end of World War I, Cornelia, Georgia was known for its apple orchards. In an act of apple orchard pride, the town had this steel stature erected in 1925 at their local train station. It weighs around 5,200 pounds. Source
