Thanksgiving plaques on a shrine at the Difunta Correa Sanctuary, Vallecito, San Juan, Argentina. La Difunta Correa is the most popular of Argentina's folk saints. She was a woman whose husband was forcibly recruited around the year 1840, during the Argentine civil wars. Becoming sick, he was then abandoned by partisans. In an attempt to reach her sick husband, Deolinda took her baby and followed the tracks of the partisans through the desert of San Juan Province. When her supplies ran out, she died. Her body was found days later by gauchos, however they found the baby still alive, feeding from the deceased woman's miraculously ever-full breast. Once the folk tale became known, her devout followers believe her to perform miracles and intercede for the living. Cattle keepers and truck drivers create small altars throughout Argentina and leave bottles of water as votive offerings. https://images.robertharding.com/zoom/RM/RH/HORIZONTAL/1116-11271.jpg1116-11271https://www.robertharding.com/licenses-explained/https://www.robertharding.com/preview/1116-11271/thanksgiving-plaques-shrine-difunta-correa-sanctuary-vallecito-san/

Every Friday dervishes gather an hour before sunset in front of Sheikh Hamed al-Nil tomb in Omdurman, Sudan to perform a ritual called Zikr (Dhikr). The ceremony starts chanting words of gratitude to the Prophet Mohammed. The audience interacts with the chanters, dancing to the rhythms of the percussion instruments. The dervishes start whirling around. The music, the fragrance of burning incense, the endless repetition of religious chants creates a state of ecstasy, a kind of trance in which human soul is believed to communicate directly with God. https://images.robertharding.com/zoom/RF/CI/HORIZONTAL/857-68216.jpg857-68216https://www.robertharding.com/licenses-explained/https://www.robertharding.com/preview/857-68216/friday-dervishes-gather-hour-sunset-front-sheikh-hamed/

Research assistants and technicians from the University of Ghana perform basic skin prick tests on school children in Accra, Ghana to test for sensitivities to dog, cat, dust mites, grass pollen, peanuts, and cockroach allergens. The results have shown that children in wealthier homes have higher rates of allergies and asthma than poorer children. The leading theory is that higher rates of helminth (parasite) infections among poorer children are affecting the immune system in a way that offers protection from allergies and asthma. The study aims to find out what the worms are doing, isolate the beneficial effect and replicate it. https://images.robertharding.com/zoom/RF/CI/HORIZONTAL/857-37195.jpg857-37195https://www.robertharding.com/licenses-explained/https://www.robertharding.com/preview/857-37195/research-assistants-technicians-university-ghana-perform-basic-skin/
