The Local Nursing Home Is An Indoor Town. There's A Movie Theater And A Pub
This place is called "Doverwood Village". It's a skilled nursing facility located in Hamilton, OH. Senior residents receive 24-hour medical care while also getting the rehabilitation care they need, which can include range of motion exercises, gait and balance training and individualized exercise programs. The movie theater shows movies 2x each day. An old one and a new one.

I saw an article about this place years ago, it's such a fantastic design. Infinitely better than a depressing institution looking place.

While that's places are absolutely amazing, they are extremely expensive. My Grandma developed Alzheimers after falling and breaking her hip. (She was already having dementia. We found a place like this for her. It was $15,000 a month. She lived for two years there. She had a whole life with a boyfriend and would go to the salon and lunch with her friends. She would sometimes remember us, but not very often, but she was happy. But in the end, those 2 years cost $350,000. The only reason she was able to do this was her and my grandfather were very successful and had a lot of money. Most people cannot afford this type of place for themselves or their loved ones, and many have no options but to go to an overcrowded, underemployment, instation like place. (We would have all taken care of her, but she made us swear to put her in a care home if this type of thing happened. Not because she felt we wouldn't take care of her, or she didn't like us, we were all very close. It was because she wanted us to just be her family, and not her caregivers, amount other similar things. We honored those wishes)

I have been advocating turning defunct indoor malls into senior citizen/memory care facilities like this. For the largest of malls, they can include shops, doctor/dentist offices, pharmacy, post office, cafes, library, ice cream parlor, coffee shops and so on. All in a climate controlled environment with restricted and monitored entrances and exits.

Having visual and physical reminders of a person’s history is such an important part of elderly care, in the care home my nana was in there was a room that had all fixtures and fittings as well as furniture and decor from the 1950s/60s even TV sets and radios, it was amazing to see these older people coming to life in that room, people who were mute outside it suddenly having lots to say and almost going back in time to when they were teenagers or young adults

I tried to look it up, and the info I found all referred to aquarium snails. If the water is too acidic (low Ph), it causes the shell to delaminate and grow clear. It could also be water temperature insufficient calcium, or insufficient light, exposure to copper, or too much potassium or CO2.

There are some snail species whose shell is normally clear. They tend to live in fresh water and have flattened shells. This is not one of them. It must be a unique genetic mutant or, as said above, living in acidic water.

Blue Bees Exist (Blue Carpenter Bee)

As with the legendary katipō, the blue carpenter bee is all about the females. It's the females who sport that brilliant blue pubescence (yep that's what the fuzz is called), and the females alone wield a stinger. The males are stinger-less, and have a more subdued, brown or greenish fuzz. -- Australian Geographic

This Is What Some Grains Of Sand Look Like When Magnified 100 To 300 Times
Gary Greenberg introduces himself as a scientist, author, teacher and photographer who combines his passion for art and science by exploring the hidden dimensions of nature. "The secrets of nature are visible everywhere. Yet, they remain secrets until they are revealed," he wrote on his website."The miracles of nature are tangible, and they can be seen directly through the microscope. The magnificence of nature lies in its consciousness. When we commune with nature, we become conscious of our connection with the universe."
And he knows what he's talking about. Greenberg invented the high-definition 3D lenses that he takes his pictures on, resulting in 18 U.S. patents under his name. He was a photographer and filmmaker until age 33 when he moved from LA to London and earned a Ph. D. in biomedical research. This has given him a unique appreciation for biological and scientific curiosities and for the optical macro photography technologies he would need to document them.
The sand composition can vary drastically depending on where it’s from, but this grain is from a beach in Hawaii, where Dr. Greenberg is located.

A lot of the grains look familiar, baby molluscs, sea urchin spines, broken glass, coral. This doesn't look like any beach I'm familiar with in Australia.

Similarly, when we say something is beautiful or awe-inspiring, we're not talking about the thing itself but how we feel about it. We look at a breathtaking sunset, and it moves us; the beauty is what we feel. The same goes for awe—it's a part of how we react to it. Interest works in this way too; it's about how we feel and engage with something.

A Curly-Haired Horse
The exact origin of the Bashkir Curly Horse is one of the greatest mysteries of the horse world. Horses with curly coats are most certainly an ancient breed. They have been depicted in art and statuary in early China as far back as 161 AD. There has been evidence of their presence in South America and Europe. There is evidence that Curlies have been in North America since the early 1800's.

I met someone at the local horse park with a Bashkir. They're very unique. Although to me they sort of look like they have bed head and I want to brush them. :) Most horse breeds only get "curly" looking when they're sweaty or wet so I can't help but think this breed looks unkempt. But cuddly.

They brush like normal horses, though instead of a curry comb you generally have to use a longer bristled brush but it's not bad. You do have to be more careful of their manes and tails because they can knot more easily (because they're curly too)

What makes something interesting is this unique combination, which varies for each person. There's no single formula for making something universally interesting. Sometimes it's the clash between expectations and reality, while other times, it's a person's curiosity that uncovers intriguing aspects of an activity.

She had me hold both hands up and she matched me thumb for thumb, forefinger for forefinger etc. on both hands. When I ran out of digits, she still had two pinkies to wave at me. She had six fingers on each hand. (And she taught piano!) As a friend of mine explained it, "Well, if a woman goes out with you more than once, genetic damage is obviously indicated."

Mabelbabel 2 years ago
The main factor in survival for premature babies is lung maturation-the lungs transition through developmental stages. Before 18 weeks they are pseudoglandular, 18-24 weeks they are canalicular, 24-36 weeks they are saccular, and 36 weeks to about 18 months, they become alveolar. Its not an instant change from one to the other, so at 23-24 weeks, some of your lung tissue will be canalicular and some will be maturing into saccular. The more saccular development you have, the better your chance of survival. After 25 weeks, most of your lungs will have matured to saccular, so oxygen transfer is possible. If you had a baby at 23 weeks weighing 500g, and a baby at 26 weeks weighing 300g, the 26 weeker would do better even though they're smaller, because their lungs will be more mature. Plus, if they're growth restricted in utero, that causes fetal stress, so they up their production of steroids and that helps the lungs speed up maturation. Human bodies are amazing!

Sun Through A UV Lens
A suite of NASA's sun-gazing spacecraft have spotted an unusual series of eruptions in which a series of fast puffs forced the slow ejection of a massive burst of solar material from the sun's atmosphere. "Looking at the corona in extreme ultraviolet light we see the source of the puffs is a series of energetic jets and related flares," said Nathalia Alzate, a solar scientist at the University of Aberystwyth in Wales. "The jets are localized, catastrophic releases of energy that spew material out from the sun into space. These rapid changes in the magnetic field cause flares, which release a huge amount of energy in a very short time in the form of super-heated plasma, high-energy radiation and radio bursts."
Walter Brameld 2 years ago
It's surprising, to me anyway, that in such a massive object, where you would think gravity would absolutely dominate, magnetism has such a large effect.

I kep asking myself "which spacecraft'. This is more detail than you'd see from SOHO, which posts daily images of the Sun like this. It's not STEREO, not Parker solar probe. It could be Solar Dynamics Observatory, but I didn't know that it took pictures at this wavelength. Or could be a Japanese space probe.

This Is A Music Typewriter: How Music Was Typed Before Computers
Marketed in the 1950s, it sold for about $255 (about $2,415 in today’s money). Keaton was trying to create something that would print characters precisely on staff and indicate exactly where the next character would be printed to ensure accuracy, and ended up with a circular keyboard which gives the typewriter its distinct look.

This Butterfly Is A Bilateral Gynandromorph, Literally Half Male, Half Female
A gynandromorph is an organism that contains both male and female characteristics. But this butterfly is a bilateral gynandromorph, which means one half is completely female and the other half is completely male. The cause of this phenomenon is typically, but not always, an event in mitosis during early development. While the organism contains only a few cells, one of the dividing cells does not split its sex chromosomes typically. This leads to one of the two cells having sex chromosomes that cause male development and the other cell having chromosomes that cause female development. For example, an XY cell undergoing mitosis duplicates its chromosomes, becoming XXYY. Usually this cell would divide into two XY cells, but in rare occasions the cell may divide into an X cell and an XYY cell. If this happens early in development, then a large portion of the cells are X and a large portion are XYY. Since X and XYY dictate different sexes, the organism has tissue that is female and tissue that is male.

Usually sex-related mosaic and chimeric life cannot produce either type of reproductive component in a fertile form (or they can produce one). The only theoretical case of where a mosaic might be bi-fertile is if they had both genetic mosaicism and a differentiated double genital formation. The odds of this are phenomenally low, and even then there's no guarantee of both gonad sets being fertile.

Experts believe it could be a Salpa maggiore (Salpa maxima), commonly found in the Southern Ocean. Salps tend to roam the upper layers of the ocean where sunlight can still penetrate.

Albino Plant
Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare. The reason it’s rare is because without chlorophyll, the plant can’t get energy, and dies shortly after sprouting unless it has some other source of food. So if you see a big plant that doesn’t have any green in its leaves, it’s getting its nutrition from the roots of a neighbouring plant of the same species, feeding on the sugars created by the other plant’s photosynthesis. Albino plants are basically vampires.

They generally range from about 2,000-3,000CAD or 1500-2,000USD, and that is just the implant, not the surgical/anesthetic fees. There is also a raging debate amongst us veterinarians on how ethical they are. I have only done them on 1 dog and I donated the whole service. He was beaten with a bat and struggled to eat/was vastly loosing vweight/ muscle mass because he could not really eat with his muzzle caved in and it was very painful for him to open his mouth for syringe feeding. I did the implants & fixed his jaw, but I would be hard pressed to do it again. It's not a singular procedure, so multiple rounds of anesthesia and there is a LOT of specific care during the reconstruction and healing process. It looks "cool" but it's really not. Yes, I did it because I couldn't watch this animal suffer a beating & then starve to death, but yeah it was rough.

Pluto's surface sports a remarkable range of subtle colors, enhanced in this view to a rainbow of pale blues, yellows, oranges, and deep reds. Many landforms have their own distinct colors, telling a complex geological and climatological story that scientists have only just begun to decode.

My Neighbors Are Moving Their Entire House Back 200ft

Tell us you don't like your neighbors, without telling us you don't like your neighbors.

In the 1990s, I lived in a house that was on a substantial lot, 0.4 acre, but had been built right at the street, and previous owners had extensively gardened the rest. If I'd stayed there, and had the money, I'd've moved my house back to the rear center.

This is common where I live due to city/county permitting laws. Some homes were built in rural areas "to close" to a property line. So the owners have to either move their home or remodel to give a 4-10' property like clearance depending on the structure. Before anyone comments; yes, it super dumb and everyone hates it. (America)

If this is in Milwaukee, WI, it could be relocating a house on Lake Drive before it falls down the cliffs from erosion.

I saw this done on an episode of Restoration Australia a few weeks ago. Very cool they can do it.

If you could fix them so we can see them in sunlight, that would be great.

I have seen ones that pulse rhythmically, and that makes them more visible. Not common though, and it might not have been intentional; might've been ready to blow.

Yes. These are the new LED ones that replace the old bulb we used to have.

Maybe The Most Beautiful Soccer Stadium In The World? Henningsvaer, Norway
Mouse 2 years ago
Henningsvær Stadion has a capacity of around 500. Henningsvær Stadion and its clubhouse are regarded as a "hub" for the Henningsvær community, with local children training and playing there together. The venue is only used for amateur football. Henningsvær Stadion has gained attention from foreign media because of the view around it. As a result, the venue has been a tourist attraction. Foreign clubs, including from the United States, have played at the venue.

Some of the rare animals and plants are really interesting. Like the leaf animal. maybe this should be taught in schools to evolution deniers. Evolution is happening before our eyes only very slowly.
