Japanese Swimming Pool Illusion
Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich created this fake pool called The
Swimming Pool, for The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in
Kanazawa, Japan. Leandro put two clear acrylic glasses about a foot
apart and filled the space in between with water. The top surface is
also filled with about 4 to 5 inches of water so that it looks like a
realistic pool.

Anonymous Confessions
As they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas – but what if we could share with full discretion? Everyone of us has his own little secrets and ‘Confessions’, a public art project by american artist Candy Chang, invites people to anonymously share their confessions and see the confessions of people around them in the heart of the Las Vegas strip.
Chang lived in Las Vegas for a month and turned her P3 Studio gallery into a contemplative place for people to share their confessions and being fascinated by the secrets others hide inside themselves. Inspired by Post Secret, Shinto shrine prayer walls, and Catholicism, people could write and submit their confessions on wooden plaques in the privacy of confession booths.By the end of the exhibition, over 1500 confessions were displayed on the wall.

The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie
Secrets to Thick, Soft, & Chewy Cookies:
Underbaked cookies are the secret to softness. Using cornstarch in the dough is another secret to softness, as well as the secret to thickness. Using more brown sugar than white sugar results in a moister, softer cookie. Adding an extra egg yolk increases chewiness. Rolling the cookie dough balls to be taller than wider increases thickness. Using melted butter (and slightly more flour) increases chewiness. Chilling the dough results in a thicker cookie
