the geese continue their merciless slaughter
the rivers continue to run red with the blood of their victims

The blood is in front of them, though, so they’re probably just drinking it or looking for a place to lay their hideous spawn.

You may have noticed that half of the United States is currently suffering from drought. Some whole states are drought-stricken. Katie McKissick, author of the webcomic Beatrice the Biologist, has noticed that people in her home of Los Angeles are not really acting as if there's a massive water shortage in the state. So she made some patches for people to make people more aware.

An international team of astronomers has announced the discovery of a potentially-habitable Super-Earth around the nearby red dwarf star Gliese 832. Located 16 light-years from Earth, it's considered one of the closest and best habitable-world candidates so far.

Medieval Elvis Presley

For some reason, legal manuscripts from medieval times contain a lot of funny and absurd drawings. In many law books several are found on a single page, from figures with extended heads and dogs sticking out their tongue, to birds trying to eat the decoration. This particular doodle was drawn around a catchword, a helpful tool for the bookbinder, who was presented with the first words of the following page so he would bind the pages in the right order. To the 14th-century reader this doodle must have been amusing, but to us the marginal humour has an extra dimension, because it looks precisely like Elvis Presley, hair-do and all. The King lives on in a medieval book.

Kastane Sword

• Dated: 18th century
• Place of Origin: Sri Lanka
• Medium: steel, silver, gold, pink sapphires, agate.
• Measurements: overall length: 62 cm

This kasthane has a silver pommel chiseled as a typical simha (lion) head with a prominent crest made up of an entwined liya-pata motif covered in sheet gold. A narrow, pala-peti design is around the mouth and this, too has been covered in sheet gold. The gaping mouth has an orange agate or carnelian tongue that projects right out of the mouth and rows of especially sharp and naturalistically-rendered teeth.

The snout on each side has a characteristic ‘S’ scroll. The eyes are large and distinct and comprise pink sapphires in gold mounts and with magnificently scrolled eyebrows. The ears are prominent and in leaf form. The simha’s mane comprises a series of semi-circular whirls on top and a spectacular array of whirls about the neck. The rest of the neck comprises floral and  foliate liya pata panels, four of which have been inset with pierced, solid gold plaques.

The narrow crossguard has two “serapendiya” head quillon finials. An ‘S’-shaped knuckle guard issues from the mouth of one and this guard terminates with a  prominent serapendiya head.  The other serapendiya head quillon finial looks away from the back of the simha. A solid gold flourish issues from its mouth. The ricasso at the root of the blade is encased in silver sheet engraved with the sinha flower motif within a scrolling trellis design.

The blade, of steel, is single edged and curved while the scabbard is curved and chased or repoussed with rococo-esque scrolling floral and foliage patterns against a finely tooled ground, as well as an upper  square section decorated with a geometric flower pattern and plated with gold. The scabbrd is also held together by the locket and another plain silver band. There are four silver carrying rings are attached to the top of the locket. The chape is in the form of a “serapendiya” head disgorging a floral sphere which itself terminates with a plain silver bead.

Researchers at MIT have developed a smart curved surface that can morph at will to reduce drag, generating a series of small, evenly spaced dimples that make it resemble the outside of a golf ball. This technology could be used to reduce hurricane damage on some public buildings, as well as increase the aerodynamic and fuel efficiency in cars...

NASA has upped the ante in its most recent test of the Orion spacecraft's parachute deployment system ahead of its maiden test flight (EFT-1) scheduled for launch later this year. Today's operation saw a test version of the Orion crew module falling through the skies above Arizona on the 14th of 17 planned drops designed to test a soft landing system which may one day protect astronauts returning from missions to Mars...

In what is being touted as a world first, a quadriplegic man has been given the ability to move his fingers and hand with his own thoughts thanks to the implantation of an electronic device in his brain and muscle stimulation sleeve. Part of a neurostimulation system dubbed "Neurobridge," the technology essentially bypasses the damaged spinal cord and reconnects the brain directly to the muscles. ..

A visual guideline for applying makeup during the early days of film. Orthochromatic film stock was the standard during the birth of film, mostly due to price. However, it is insensitive to red and yellow light on the spectrum. The process to correct this insensitivity to red and yellow makes it oversensitive to blue and violet.

Because of this, actors had to be made up with highly exaggerated and contradictory colors in order to look “natural” on film.
