A Beluga whale has become a sensation at an aquarium after learning how to blow halo-shaped bubbles. The extraordinary sight was captured on camera by photographer Hiroya Minakuchi at the Shimane aquarium in Japan. He said: “This beluga started making bubble rings when she was seven. And a couple of years ago she developed her technique. Now she blows the water from her mouth to make a current, which is not visible for us underwater. She then blows air from her blow hole into the current and that makes a ring shape.”

Come Together, a short film by Wes Anderson
Wes Anderson directed a short holiday film starring Adrien Brody for H&M. It is delightful. You can criticize the twee formality in his work,1 but this is a reminder that Anderson can bring the emotion when he wants.

The Fairy Doors of Ann Arbor
The Fairy Doors of Ann Arbor are a series of small doors that are a type of installation art found in the city of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The first one appeared in the baseboards of the home of Jonathan and Kathleen Wright in 1993. Subsequently, several others were discovered in their home: in the fireplace surround and two in the kitchen. On April 7, 2005 the first was seen in public on the exterior of Sweetwaters Coffee and Tea. Since then, ten more have shown up around Ann Arbor (as well as a “goblin door” parody), and seven of the original “public” doors still exist.

No quarter for white nationalism. “Reverse racism” isn’t just not racism, it doesn’t exist, it’s an ignorant awful baby take. “It’s just like as if they were unfair to us”, no, it is in no way like that at all.

Built in the 13th century, Houska Castle in Prague, Czech Republic is one of the country’s most haunted landmarks. It was built with no fortifications, no water, no kitchen, away from major trade routes, and with no occupants at its time of completion. The castle was not built as a residence or as a protective sanctuary, but was instead built because a large hole, nicknamed “The Gateway to Hell” needed to be covered up. People believe that, by building this huge castle, they were able to keep the demons trapped in the lower level and they built the thickest walls closest to the hole to keep the supposed demons at bay, away from nearby villages. Spooky tales of humanoid creatures and dark-winged creatures flying out of this hole have been reported for centuries, and the ominous castle is host to further paranormal occurrences.

“An artist is an ordinary person who can take ordinary things and make them special.” — A dose of Monday inspiration from artist Ruth Asawa (1926–2013), seen here working on one of her paper origami sculptures. Asawa studied origami at the Japanese Cultural School. Later on at Black Mountain College, her teacher Josef Albers assigned design problems in which students transformed paper from two dimensions to three dimensions by folding it. Two of her commissions, Aurora and the Nihonmachi fountains, stemmed from these “origami” paperfold designs. Source: Robert Snyder’s film, Ruth Asawa: Of Forms and Growth.

According to the marketing guys behind Red Stripe, it’s a traditional Jamaican style lager with a rich history. Which is a lie. Red Stripe was first brewed in Illinois for a century before it was bought out by some British guys during Prohibition. Unable to sell in the United States, they marketed it to soldiers stationed in Jamaica. After proving popular in Jamaica, Red Stripe was then marketed back to the States as an exotic foreign brew. Thus proving that, with good enough marketing, you can convince people of anything.

WHY THE OLYMPICS MATTER
This morning as I worked in my haor I began to ponder this question: Why do we have Olympics? It’s a good question, because the answer is not immediately predetermined to that. But what is the reason for these games, because they are games and would determine if that’s the way COUNTRIES do play them.

uxorem, Postume, ducis? dic qua Tisiphone, quibus exagitere colubris. ferre potes dominam salvis tot restibus ullam, cum pateant altae caligantesque fenestrae, cum tibi vicinum se praebeat Aemilius pons? aut si de multis nullus placet exitus, illud nonne putas melius, quod tecum pusio dormit, pusio, qui noctu non litigat, exigit a te nulla iacens illic munuscula, nec queritur quod et lateri parcas nec quantum iussit anheles.
—
“You’re getting married, Postumus? Tell me what Tisiphone, what snakes are tormenting you. Can you bear any mistress with so many ropes in good condition, when dizzyingly high windows stand open, when the Aemilian bridge offers itself to you nearby? On the other hand, if you don’t like any of these ways out, don’t you think it would be better that a young boy sleeps with you? A young boy who won’t quarrel at night, won’t demand small favors from you while lying there, and won’t complain that you are neither giving it your all nor panting as much as he orders.”

quid Romae faciam? mentiri nescio.
Context:
Juvenal puts these words into the mouth of his friend, Umbricus, who recently left Rome and moved to Cumae, a resort town on the coast in the region of Campania not far from modern day Naples. Umbricus left Rome because it is not fit for Romans any more. Rome is now a place for those who “know how to lie”, people who know the movement of the stars and can predict someone’s father’s death, accomplices, snitches, and bribe givers and takers. Moreover, Rome is now a place brimming with foreigners, most of all Greeks who are far too clever for their own good with their quicksilver wit. Free-born Romans now escort wealthy slaves around; no one wears togas anymore and you can’t tell the difference between wealthy and poor in the audience at festivals and at the theater. You can only sleep in Rome if you are wealthy because the hustle and bustle of the city is so loud; the streets are full of dangers: buildings collapse and roof tiles are loose, people throw all kinds of things out their apartment windows onto the street, drunk thugs don’t go home at night until they have thoroughly beaten someone to a pulp!
To sum up, make Rome great again!

Most of the ascent and descent was on narrow switchbacks with a rock wall to one side and a 50-100’+ cliff to the other.
Lots of water falls!
The hike we DNC’d.
Logan’s Pass is an easy boardwalk ascent up 1.5 miles around a crag with a much more steep descent on the far side to a lake. We talked ourseles into following the yellow posts up the bunny slope about 3/4 of a mile.
Until the wind gusted hard enough to almost knock us over.
and then the simple way back which had been clear was obscured entirely by a very hard gust pushing a cloud over the ridge. So we noped our way back.

Beautiful cast of American Gods (IMDB)
_The series will focus on the mysterious Shadow, a man who is released from prison a few days early after serving a three-year sentence for bank robbery when his beloved wife Laura is killed in a car accident. Flying home for the funeral, Shadow is seated next to a man who introduces himself only as Mr. Wednesday, and this man knows more about Shadow’s life, both past and present, than is possible. Shadow comes to learn that Wednesday is, in fact, the god Odin of Norse mythology and that all of the gods that mankind has ever believed in are alive in human form and live among regular people. Shadow is soon thrust into a gathering conflict between the Old gods and the so-called “New gods”, the gods of money and technology who believe there is no longer room on Earth for the old gods.

A million things to do with a computer!
I gave a talk at !!con last weekend, about my favourite programming language scratch:
Back in 1971, Cynthia Solomon and Seymour Papert wrote “Twenty things to do with a computer”, about their experiences of teaching children to use Logo and their ideas for the future.
They were wrong: There’s a lot more than twenty. Logo’s successor, Scratch, has over thirteen million things that children and adults alike have built. Scratch is radically approachable in a way that puts every other language to shame.
This talk is about the history, present, and future of Scratch: why Scratch is about ‘coding to learn’, and not about ‘learning to code’.
I had a incredible time at !!con. The live captioning was fantastic (and they’re crowdfunding a game to teach steno too).
The livestreams are up (but no captions), and my talk is 3h29m32s in on day 2.

The Icelandic Language still uses the letters Þ and Ð, which used to be in the English alphabet too but which fell into disuse and were eventually left out altogether. Their pronunciation is the sound made by the “th” in “this” and “that” respectively.
Incidentally, the Þ was not included in early English printing press types. As a substitute they used y, which looks somewhat similar. Thus was the popular misconception born that English people used to say “ye” as in “ye old shoppe.”

A kenning was a circumlocution used instead of the ordinary noun in Old Norse, Old English, and later Icelandic poetry. Some examples include “battle-sweat” for blood, “flame-farewelled” for an (honorable) death, and “Freyja’s tears” for gold, or sometimes amber. I particularly like “whale-road” or “whale-way” which means the sea.

Harriet Tubman is the new face of the $20 bill—and just one of the many trailblazers who will be featured when our new National Museum of African American History and Culture opens this fall. @nmaahc will display some of the objects related to Tubman in our collection in its slavery and freedom exhibition.
They include her hymnal, whose well-worn pages give us glimpses of the girl and woman behind the historic figure.
This shawl was given to Tubman by Queen Victoria in recognition of her accomplishments. It’s one of 39 items donated to the museum on the 97th anniversary of Tubman’s death.
These are merely pieces from the complex life of Harriet Tubman: escaped slave, Underground Railroad conductor, Union spy, abolitionist leader and icon of service. Learn more about the full Harriet Tubman Collection here.

Hapax Legomenon: a word or form occurring only once in a document or corpus. This term is usually applied to words in the Hebrew bible, whose meanings are uncertain or unknown. Hebrew had been a dead language for almost 1,800 years. The only way it was preserved was in sacred writings. And Hebrew is written without vowels, to give the precise word, and without punctutation, which helps give context clues. It is unsurprising then that the meanings of words which appear only once or twice have been lost. There are about 1,500 hapax legomena in the Hebrew bible. However, due to Hebrew roots, suffixes and prefixes (which have been used to make educated guesses), there are only 400 “true” hapax legomena, ones with no clearly related words in Hebrew.

The stethoscope is celebrating it’s 200th birthday this year! Invented in 1816 by a young French physician, it was intended to preserve the modesty of a young female patient. Dr. Laennec was uncomfortable simply putting his ear to the woman’s chest, as was the usual practice at the time. And thus was born what has become a permanent fixture around today’s doctor’s necks.

On the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of MoMA’s groundbreaking exhibition, The Responsive Eye (1965), El Museo del Barrio (in partnership with the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires) presents The Illusive Eye, an international survey on Kinetic and Op art. The exhibition offers a broad intellectual context for Op art and geometric abstraction, one that goes against the grain of formalist art history. The selection provides a special focus on artwork from the Americas and features major artists from seventeen countries in Latin America and beyond. Learn more at elmuseo.org.
