    Medical prescription notes, and special dietary requirements, marked on the door of cell concerning the health of the elderly prisoners who live in that room, in Onomichi prison., As the Japanese society rapidly ages, the country is now having to deal with a sharp rise in the number of criminals from the pensioner age group. Over 65's now count for the fastest growing age group of inmates.
    The Crisis Of Japan's Ageing Prison Population
    THE CRISIS OF JAPAN'S AGEING PRISON POPULATION

    At a rate much higher than any other developed nation, Japan's over-60s are becoming the fastest-growing criminal age group in the country. The number of over-70s alone charged with criminal offences has trebled within the last 8 years from approximately 10,000 to 30,000. Last year the ratio of elderly offenders to younger offenders was 1:6 compared to 1:24 a decade before.

    The most common crimes by the elderly tend to be petty offences like theft and shoplifting, but there were also 150 reported convictions for murder. Such is the dramatic increase in the percentage of elderly prisoners (currently 12% of the total prison population), Japan has been forced to invest billions of yen to construct 3 new prison wards to house over 1,000 inmates.

    The causes behind this phenomenon are not simple to explain away. The obvious roots lie in Japan's rapidly ageing population, in which the demographic of the typical 'population triangle', which comprises of a large base of young people and small pinnacle of the elderly, is starting to invert, meaning that the number of Japanese over the age of 60 is increasing at a greater rate than usual in comparison to the increase rate in the number of under 30s.

    However, this does not explain away the fact that while the number of Japanese aged 60 and over grew by 17% between 2000 and 2006, the number ...

    Samurai
    Art From Dollars
    ART FROM DOLLARS

    Here's an artist who may not be made of money (yet), but her works are - they are entirely created from cut-up dollar bills.

    Irina Truhanova's cash creations range from a portrait of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to a dollar depiction of a geisha.

    Other work highlights include a samurai, a motorbike, a Bentley car and the Statue of Liberty.

    The 22-year-old from Riga, Latvia, who ironically gave up her job as an international businesswoman to follow her artistic dream, starts by sketching out her subject in pencil.

    She explains: "Once I have an idea of how the picture will look I can select parts of real dollar bills and cut them out. These small fragments are bought together to form the whole image.

    "I wanted to create mosaics that personified freedom, independence, business and capital, and using real U.S. currency seemed to fit this perfectly.

    "What is amazing is that I believe I can implement any idea or image I can think of just using the bank notes.

    "I first showed my collages to friends an relatives and they were amazed so I decided to advertise my work on the internet.

    "I received requests for commissions very quickly and within a few months I realised I could stop using my office job to make money and support myself by making money pictures full-time."

    Irina's works can sell for hundreds of dollars, so she must be coining it in!

    "I wanted to create mosaics that personified freedom, independence, business and capital, and using real U.S. currency seemed to fit this perfectly.

    "What is amazing is that I believe I can implement any idea or image I can think of just using the bank notes.

    "I first showed my collages to friends an relatives and they were amazed so I decided to advertise my work on the internet.

    "I received requests for commissions very quickly and within a few months I realised I could stop using my office job to make money and support myself by making money pictures full-time."

    Irina's works can sell for hundreds of dollars, so she must be coining it in!

    Many of the moving rocks are about the size of a loaf of bread and weigh about 25 pounds. Interns Kristopher Schwebler and Valerie Fox make notes about this one.
    The Mystery of the Moving Rocks
    It's a puzzling sight that the world of science has never found a conclusive answer for - rocks that seemingly move across the plains of California.

    Since the 1940s researchers have documented trails left from the movement of boulders on so-called playas, or dry lakes, in Death Valley.

    Amazingly, rocks as big as 700 pounds have been subject to the unexplained phenomena that sees them seemingly glide over the parched landscape - even changing direction on their path.

    Some rocks travel in pairs, leaving two tracks perfectly in synch along straight stretches and around curves. Others seem undecided about direction and travel back and forth. sometimes travelling the length of several football fields.

    Most cases see the trails leading to resting rocks, but in others they have disappeared.

    Now a team of seventeen undergraduate and graduate students from the Lunar and Planetary Sciences Academy (LPSA) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center have begun an investigation.

    They travelled to the Racetrack and nearby Bonnie Claire playas this summer to investigate how these rocks move across the nearly empty flats.

    "When you see these amazing rocks and trails," says Mindy Krzykowski, an intern from the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, "you really get into coming up with your own ideas about what's going on."

    For each rock and trail the students recorded GPS coordinates and took photographs. They also dug up small sensors called Hygrochrons buried three months earlier by one of the trip leaders. From these, the interns were able to capture the electronically stored temperature and humidity data.
