When Madje's dementia proved relentless, her daughter Maggie moved her life to care for her. Maggie documented the liberation from the roles she and her mother had learned to play -- a discovery that gave her the mother she always wanted.

Phillip Toledano's life is marked by the passing of family. Each death diverting the river slightly. "You see yourself clearly when your parents die. You're silhouetted on the hilltop, whatever that means."

These are stories about a patch of land in Sydney, an infamous acre known as the Block, a place steeped in a rich history of Aboriginal culture, activism and hope. Over time, tragedy, drug abuse and crime crept into the Indigenous-owned housing precinct. In September 2010, the few remaining tenants received notice to vacate their homes. The Aboriginal Housing Company, which owned the crumbling terraces, was keen to redevelop the land. Now vacant, the Block sits on the verge of a new, uncertain rebirth. This virtual time capsule invites you to explore the Block, to witness the events that defined its 40-year history, and to meet the people whose lives it has shaped.

The Ethiopian Mekane Yesus Church owns and runs Aira Hospital - a small but by Ethiopian standards well equipped health facility - situtated in the far western part of rural Ethiopia.

Portraits of entrepreneurs Quebecois, for whom the question of profit goes after those working conditions, personal development and improvement of the environment. How to do more with less? Enrich themselves ... but differently. --------------------------------------------- Des portraits d'entrepreneurs québecois, pour qui la question du profit passe après celles des conditions de travail, de l’épanouissement personnel et de l’amélioration de l’environnement.

On January 21st, hundreds of thousands of Americans traveled to Washington D.C. for President Obama's second Inauguration. I was among them to celebrate the event. Here are some of the people I met. These photos follow a set I took at the first Inauguration in 2009 as well as photos I took on the election night in November; I plan to continue attending every Inauguration in the future in order to document the type of people who gather for this event. I call the series "The America We Elected" because I am interested in focusing on the faces of the people in the crowd rather than the main spectacle shown in the media; it is interesting to think about how the faces would be different given a different outcome in the election. For instance, we are looking at radiantly happy people and strangers bonding together with a shared sense of hope, but we can imagine alternate situations where the people I would have encountered might have been angry protestors, or just entirely different demographics of the population. The main thrust of the project is to capture reality as it is and present this little seen aspect to a larger audience. The photos are unmanipulated, spontaneous, and captured on film by a Rolleiflex camera.

U.S. and Canadian university students traveled to Istanbul in the summer of 2013, to investigate the issues behind national street demonstrations protesting the Turkish prime minister's authoritarian style. This is their multimedia report.

WWF invites the user to share 40 years of action through videos, photos and stories.

A look at an unseen IDP camp (internally displaced persons) in northern Burma/Myanmar. A group of several hundred people from the Ta'ang ethnic group fled this year from fighting near their villages. This short film presents doubts and concerns of President's Thein Sein's peace plans with ethnic armed groups. With growing international attention and investment in Burma, it is important to hear from those most affected by conflict and questionable peace talks.

Four years after the earthquake, how is Haiti rebuilding itself? If you were part of the process, would you be able to make the right choices? “Rebuilding Haïti" is an interactive piece of journalism. The form mixes newsgame and longform journalism. The story is about development issues (like rural exodus, land reform and brain drain).

We look at the best free-agent signings for each team this century.

The 2019 season marks the end of a decade in baseball. As we enter its final year, the question must be asked: How will this decade be known?

Can't wait for Opening Day? Good news -- you can take the field early when R.B.I. Baseball 19 is released on March 5.

Since the first free agent signing of the modern era back in 1974, there have been several free agent deals that shook the baseball world and realigned power across the Majors. Here's a look at several moves that changed the landscape of baseball, and in some cases, were downright shocking:

Through MLB history, plenty of players have returned to the teams where they became stars. Let's take a look back at 10 of the most memorable ones.

There is a long history of exceptional walk years as well, and Adrian Beltre, who retired after the 2018 season, is a big part of it. Here is a look at 20 of the best.

Manny Machado inked a 10-year, $300 million deal with the Padres, the biggest free-agent contract in MLB history. Here's the Top 10.

The game is changing, perhaps more quickly than ever. Forget comparing the sport to what it looked like in the 1960s or the '80s; the game has changed massively in just the last half-decade. Remember, just five years ago, we were all talking about the lack of power ,and no one was talking about launch angle or spin rate. Things are slightly different now.

Antonio Petrucelli’s name is probably unfamiliar to map people, although it shouldn’t be. Petrucelli was one of the artists whose work was commonly found on the cover (and inside) Fortune magazine from the 1930s through the 1950s. Petrucelli collaborated with Richard Edes Harrison and was a contemporary of Boris Artzybasheff. Like Edes Harrison and Artzybasheff, […]

Successful design manages cognitive load. Cognitive load is a technical term for “mental effort,” more specifically it’s the total amount of mental effort required for a given task. Completing any task requires some level of mental effort. This includes learning new information, analyzing stimuli, and working with short and long-term memory. Mental energy which has […]

To design positive emotional experiences you must understand human emotion. The subject of emotions is complex largely because everything we do is either influenced by, or directly caused by, emotion. Factor in the range and capacity different individuals have for emotion, add in the fact most emotions occur subconsciously, and round this out with the […]
