Vertical ship marks 50 years at sea

"Researchers have been showing off a 355 ft vertical ship in the Pacific Ocean, as it marks its 50th birthday.

FLIP, or Floating Instrument Platform, is owned by the US Navy, and flips from horizontal to a vertical position by pumping 700 tonnes of seawater into the 'handle' end."

Drowned Landscapes

Photo: Denis Bates

"Here's a lovely image of what the lost land of Doggerland may have looked like. Ynyshir in Ceredigion (Wales) has many habitats which are reminiscent of those in the Mesolithic, and pollen from many of the species present in this image has been found in core samples recovered from the North Sea. Many thanks to Denis Bates for image."

Fake Buddha Quotes

"Would the Buddha care? I've been told often that he wouldn't It's amazing how much insight some people have into the Buddha's mind. It's as if they know exactly how he thought, and oddly he seems to agree with them a lot. Well, if you look at the Buddhist scriptures, there are many occasions where someone comes to the Buddha and tells him that they've heard that he has made a certain statement. If the statement is not something the Buddha has said, he tended to put his questioner straight in no uncertain terms.

So the Buddha seems to have been concerned about Fake Buddha Quotes, 2,500 years ago. I'm sure there will be new Fake Buddha Quotes being passed around 2,500 years from now. But hopefully this site will slow down their spread."

yourself to do the dreaded task. And the next day, at the first
possible moment–as soon as you walk into work, or when the office opens, or whenever–just do it. Don't allow yourself to reflect or procrastinate."

Rasputina

"The Rasputina group has existed for more than 20(0) years. Melora Creager founded it to meet like-minded young women (excellent cellists that wanted to play rock music and wear historical costumery). Although often mistakenly lumped into passing fancies, Rasputina manages to survive and defy categorization by maintaining a child-like delight in music-making alongside a clear & true integrity."

The Welsh Food Box Company

"Previously trading as Green Cuisine Organics, we've set up The Welsh Food Box Company to bring the very best local food direct to you.

We know that increasingly people out there care where their food comes from. We know how important it is to our customers to support welsh producers and growers, whilst also reducing food miles and getting great quality, farm fresh, welsh food in the bargain.

We also know that, in reality, people are far too busy to make weekly treks around farmers markets and farm shops to get the quality and variety of produce that they would dearly like.

 That's where The Welsh Food Box Company can help. We do the leg work, concentrating our search for quality on small local producers and growers that have the highest production standards and ethical farming practices."
