Communicating in Bali's Village of the Deaf
Bengkala, a small village tucked away in the jungles of Bali, is a demographic anomaly. Of a total 3,000 people, 40 are Deaf. Their condition is linked to a recessive gene that's been passed down through seven generations. Rather than ostracize Deaf community members, the people of Bengkala created Kata Kolok, a distinctly local sign language that's spoken by 80 percent of the population.

Meet the Culinary King of Queens
Joe DiStefano from Queens is a regular guy, but his knowledge of the borough's cuisine is anything but. He knows the best florist shop serving breakfast (yep)—not to mention where you can get the tastiest Tibetan beef momos. (Spoiler: it's between a mini mart and a cellphone shop.) Joe's been eating his way through Queens since the late '90s, so why not let him show you around?

Swimming With Great Whites
The OCEARCH is a research vessel that travels the world, tagging sharks with GPS trackers. Their goal is to better understand shark's lives in order to ensure their future survival. We caught up with the OCEARCH in the Gulf of Mexico, where a team of scientists is tagging the sharks of the western gulf to track their breeding, birthing, and migratory patterns.
