Just Imagine The Ability To Render Solid Stone Transparent. Giovanni Strazza Possessed This Incredibly Rare Artistic Talent
His masterpiece, "The Veiled Virgin," carved from flawless Carrara marble, stands as one of the most astounding achievements in the history of sculpture.
Strazza's mastery of the "wet drapery" technique carried on the tradition of other Italian sculptors like Giuseppe Sanmartino, who, a century earlier, had crafted mesmerizing marble veils, exemplified by the renowned "Veiled Christ."
This artistic tradition can be traced back to earlier sculptors, including renowned Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo, as well as the ancient masters from Greece's Hellenistic era, who were celebrated for their intricate depictions of fabric folds.
However, in the mid-19th century, Strazza pushed this technique to its limits. The delicate, layered effect he achieved allows the observer to distinctly perceive Mary's facial features through the translucent veil while simultaneously creating the illusion of weightlessness.
The process of how he transformed solid stone into something so soft and fluid, using only basic hand tools, remains a profound mystery

The Formation Of ‘Ice Flowers’ Is A Beautiful Natural Phenomenon In The Great Lakes Region Of North America
When the temperature drops under freezing temperatures, the non-frozen water under the ice layer is pushed upward, creating small cracks. Then, as very little water flows through these cracks and almost immediately freezes, very thin ice layers of irregular shapes are formed. As they accumulate, they create fantastic geometric shapes. Mother Nature’s art is amazing.

This Is 'Irma', She Is One Of The Muscovy Ducks That Hangs Out In The Ponds In Front Of, And Behind Our House In Plant City, Florida
About a month ago she laid 13 eggs at the base of the Live Oak tree in the front yard. She usually gets on and off the nest multiple times a day to eat and drink. When I got up this past Sunday morning Irma was on her nest. The weather was already turning nasty with high winds and rain. Towards evening as the hurricane was heading towards us, we had torrential rains and wind gusts up to 107mph! Irma hunkered down and never left her nest. We could watch her from our bathroom window as we were lucky and never lost power. When the center of the hurricane passed over our house, we went out to check on her, and she was still sitting tight. After the eye passed the wind and rain kicked up again and we finally went to sleep around 2:00am. When we woke up Monday morning, there was Irma, still sitting on her nest, covered in broken tree branches and Spanish moss, but alive and unharmed, all 13 eggs still intact. Monday was still very windy and Irma had yet to leave her nest so we brought her food and water which she readily accepted. Today, Tuesday, she finally got up from her nest, stretched her legs and took a quick dip in the pond before heading back to her eggs. So, here's to Irma, super duck, who sat through a category 2-3 hurricane, protecting her eggs, and said 'not today hurricane Irma, not on my watch!' Looking forward to having 13 Muscovy ducklings soon, pooping all over our driveway

Coming back to Dr. Diane Hamilton’s thoughts, it’s unclear if the consumers of technology are undoubtedly less curious than the developers. “Am I somehow less curious than the bioengineer who tirelessly pursues the cure for Alzheimer’s?” she questioned.
And while the answer to that is not 100% clear, one thing is—according to the behavioral scientist, due to technology, our minds don’t seem to work the way they used to. That’s because we arguably don’t seem to use them as much, since instead of looking for information in books, for instance, we can learn it by speaking into a robotic device on the table.

The Japanese Have Been Producing Wood For 700 Years Without Cutting Down Trees
In the 14th century, the extraordinary daisugi technique was born in Japan. Indeed, the daisugi provide that these trees will be planted for future generations and not be cut down but pruned as if they were giant bonsai trees; by applying this technique to cedars, the wood that can be obtained is uniform, straight and without knots, practically perfect for construction. A pruning as a rule of art that allows the tree to grow and germinate while using its wood, without ever cutting it down.
Jrog 1 year ago (edited)
It is suitable only for very specific types of wood of the cypress family (deceptively named Japanese "cedar" or "oak", but it is neither), that is considered low-grade softwood and is suitable only for some types of light construction. Western construction mostly uses different kind of softwood from conifers (pine and fir) or hardwood from fagaceae (beech and oak), that cannot be grown like this. The construction woods used in Europe nowadays are exclusively from controlled growth and are by all means a renewable resource, but a land-use intensive one; the lumber that is not environmentally friendly is mostly for rare essences that cannot be growth with the daisugi method, so the advantage for importing this practice would be negligible.

For the Greenland sharks, researchers looked for radioactive elements in the eyes of dead sharks. The elements entered the atmosphere during nuclear bomb tests. Any shark born after those tests began shows a certain amount of the elements, with the exact amount revealing the year they were born. The researchers noted the sizes of the sharks that showed these elements. They then used the size of Greenland sharks at birth to calculate how fast they grow. From that, they estimated that the oldest shark in their sample had lived to about 400. Uncertainties, though, mean it could have been as old as 500 -- an ancient giant from the sea. https://www.scienceandthesea.org/program/aging-sharks
Marcellus II 1 year ago
it's an estimate from the size. And as this one is alive, its size is also estimated (so, a compounded error). So "This one is 393y old, it's born in 1627" is an unscientific statement; but it's quite safe to say it's born in the late 16th or first half of 17th century.

The Rainbow Corn
The story of Glass Gem corn begins with an Oklahoma farmer named Carl Barnes. Barnes, now in his 80s, is half-Cherokee. He began growing older corn varieties in his adult years as a way to reconnect with his heritage.
In growing these older corn varieties, Barnes was able to isolate ancestral types that had been lost to Native American tribes when they were relocated in the 1800s to what is now Oklahoma. This resulted in a swap of historic maize seeds with individuals he had encountered and befriended nationwide.
At the same time, Barnes began selecting, saving, and replanting seeds from particularly colorful cobs. According to Barnes, the rainbow seed originally came from a crossing of "Pawnee miniature popcorns with an Osage red flour corn and also another Osage corn called ‘Greyhorse'."

I have too, and I've dried the ears and used them as decoration. They're not meant to be used as a food corn today, as we're all used to super-sweet modern corn. Back in the days of the Native Americans, corn didn't taste like it does today.

You can almost see the origin of the story of damned souls being dragged into the fiery pit of Hell from lava flows shaped like this. Ancient observation and interpretation based on the level of knowledge of the time could be the basis upon which the stories of creation came to be. Before we had written language, the history of each group or tribe was passed down by a storyteller—-an important role as they were the continuity between the living members of the group and their ancestors. The storyteller learned and memorized the history from the previous storyteller, and was able to add new stories based on new events, as well as tailor the stories to new understanding. It is possible those stories became part of religious texts once we developed writing, and didn’t have to rely on a storyteller’s memory to preserve them. But please be aware, this is merely conjecture on my part. I don’t have actual proof, though I hope one day we’ll find some and figure it out.

I Spotted This On A Walk Around My Local Area Yesterday. Such A Simple Idea, And It Warmed My Heart
Lene 1 year ago
Looks like the same type of pattern that's used in ambulances here in Denmark. They are just cats heads but with the same posture/body as those dolls. Volunteers all over the country makes these for ambulances and they are all different in colors and facial expressions. My kids got a little collection by now (they get epilepsy-like cramping fits sometimes) and they are all very different. Such a great idea! And the hospital also has some knitted or crocheted toys for kids to bring home. I can only recommend that if you guys like to knit or crochet you ask your local hospital or knitting groups if they need more volunteers. My kids love their homemade gifts from the hospital way more than the plastic ones (even the little LEGO sets!). And they have a very calming effect on the kids.

Humpback Whale Jumping Next To A Fishing Boat, Breaching The Waters Of Monterey Bay In California
LakotaWolf (she/her) 1 year ago
Whales are intelligent enough to mess with us humans (and apparently enjoy it). So they will often breach JUUUUUST close enough to a boat that they are in no danger of hitting the boat, but to the humans it looks terrifying XD Whale pods that live in the areas of frequent whale-watching tours are known to swim right up to the boats, turn over, and stick their fins out of the water, almost as if they're waving. They're very aware of their surroundings and most non-predatory whales (like humpbacks) don't try to kill humans deliberately.

Rob D 1 year ago (edited)
Not a chance. Game fishers are the trophy hunters of the sea. But at least trophy hunters redeem themselves somewhat by often spending out the nose at a preserve where the revenue helps, ironically, to maintain the population. We can have a whole other discussion about the mindset it takes to stare down a scope and take something that beautiful down, but at least there's a redeeming factor in the nonsense. With game fishing there's no such thing. Just an a hole on a boat trying to kill something beautiful for bragging rights.

A Sociable Weaver's Giant Nest In Namibia, Probably The Most Spectacular Structure Built By Any Bird
The Sociable weaver (Philetairus socius) is a species of bird in the weaver family found across South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. This species builds extensive compound community nests that mimic huts, featuring a sloping thatched-grass roof designed to repel rain. These nests are the world’s largest and most populated tree houses, with some weighing up to a ton or more and measuring up to 20 feet wide and 10 feet tall.
Built around large and sturdy structures like acacia trees or sometimes even telephone poles, the nests provide shelter from direct sunshine, rain, drought, and cold. They are large enough to house over a hundred pairs of birds, consisting of several generations at a time. Each breeding pairs tends to its own compartment with its private entrance and line the interior with soft downy plant material. These entrances are packed closely together and when seen from below, the communal nest has a honeycomb appearance. These birds are constantly making home improvements, adding new nesting chambers, and some nests have remained occupied for over a century

The Lost City Of Heracleion
Alexandria, Egypt an ancient city exhumed from the depths of the ocean. Appearing in a few rare inscriptions and ancient texts, the city of Thonis-Heracleion was hidden away for thousands of years, submerged deep under the sea. After searching for years by screening the vast area of the Abu Qir Bay off the coast of Egypt, French archaeologist Franck Goddio and his team de él saw a colossal face emerge from the watery shadows. Goddio had finally encountered Thonis-Heracleion, completely submerged 6.5 kilometers off Alexandria’s coast. Among the underwater ruins were 64 ships, 700 anchors, a treasure trove of gold coins, statues standing at 16 feet, and most notably the remains of a massive temple to the god Amun-Gereb, and the tiny sarcophagi for the animals that were brought there as offerings. The ruins and artifacts made from granite and diorite are remarkably preserved, and give a glimpse into what was, 2300 years ago, one of the great port cities of the world. The harbor of Thonis-Heracleion (the Egyptian and Greek names of the city) controlled all the trade into Egypt.
There was a massive earthquake that liquefied the sand and the whole city sank. The last picture is an artist's rendering of what the city might have looked like

Vasa, A Swedish Warship, Sank During Its Maiden Voyage In 1628, Less Than A Mile Into The Journey
After spending 333 years on the sea floor, it was recovered remarkably intact. Today, it resides in the Vasa Museum in Stockholm and is the most well-preserved 17th century ship in the world
Robert Trebor 1 year ago (edited)
The architect was compelled to add a deck at the urgent behest of the King. When Vasa moved from one berth to another at Stockholm, a gust of wind tipped the ship enough for water to flood the lower gun deck, and oops, down she went. They kept the ship wet in drydock after being raised, while they figured out how to preserve her. Ultimately, they began putting resin into the wetting system, and that soaked in and stabilized the ship's structure. The museum in Stockholm is amazing.

Misleading entry. So far, the "poodle moth" has been photographed ONCE, and this is not even the actual photo (it's a Spilosoma Dubia, common throughout the USA). The sighting has been documented in photo only, without recovering the specimen, so there is no confirmation this is actually a new species: it is likely to be a mutant muslin moth, or a common silkworm moth with some kind of genetic disorder. To sustain a separate specie it would require a population in the few hundreds, so the fact we had a single spotting makes the existence of the "poodle moth" as a separate specie very unlikely.
