LOS ANGELES, CA, February 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) Whether it's Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie or Natalie Portman, it seems that just about every Hollywood celebrity champions a noble environmental cause these days. But how often is this environmental concern brought directly to the film sets that such A-level stars work on? Green Vanity is a full-service mobile vanity unit that delivers environmental awareness directly to any Hollywood film set, project or event.
"The Hollywood film community has done a tremendous amount of work for the environment and raised awareness of many of the most urgent issues that concern the health of our planet," stated Fernando Navarro, Green Vanity's creator. "What has been lacking is the amount of attention being paid to environmental awareness on location. Green Vanity provides a clear statement that the film production cares about, and is aware of, its environmental footprint."
Green Vanity is made almost entirely from recycled and recyclable materials. A powerful solar system provides energy to most of the electrical needs. All of the products used inside and outside of the unit are green. While Green Vanity is dedicated to environmental awareness, it also provides exceptional comfort and style for its occupants. Equally important, the exterior design provides a bright and cheerful color palette while the interior offers a chic and warm lounge atmosphere.
Green Vanity is easily converted to service multiple functions including: A mobile Hair, makeup and styling unit; A mobile luxury talent/VIP retreat; A mobile day spa; A solar powered production truck

Mummies' false toes helped ancient Egyptians walk
2011-02-14
Two artificial big toes – one found attached to the foot of an ancient Egyptian mummy – may have been the world's earliest functional prosthetic body parts, says the scientist who tested replicas on volunteers.
University of Manchester researcher, Dr Jacky Finch, has shown that a three-part wood and leather artefact housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, along with a second one, the Greville Chester artificial toe on display in the British Museum, not only looked the part but also helped their toeless owners walk like Egyptians.
The toes date from before 600BC, predating ...
Gonorrhea acquires a piece of human DNA
2011-02-14
CHICAGO --- If a human cell and a bacterial cell met at a speed-dating event, they would never be expected to exchange phone numbers, much less genetic material. In more scientific terms, a direct transfer of DNA has never been recorded from humans to bacteria.
Until now. Northwestern Medicine researchers have discovered the first evidence of a human DNA fragment in a bacterial genome – in this case, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea. Further research showed the gene transfer appears to be a recent evolutionary event.
The discovery offers insight ...

Archaeologists find hidden African side to noted 1780s Md. building
2011-02-14
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – One of North America's most famous Revolutionary-era buildings – a lone-surviving testament to an Enlightenment ideal – has a hidden West African face, University of Maryland archaeologists have discovered.
Their excavation at the 1785 Wye “Orangery” on Maryland's Eastern Shore – the only 18th century greenhouse left in North America – reveals that African American slaves played a sophisticated, technical role in its construction and operation. They left behind tangible cultural evidence of their involvement and spiritual traditions.
