Japanese Pastry Maker's Created First Ever White Strawberry Tart Captures the "Scent of First Love"

Japanese pastry maker “Qu’il Fait Bon” captured the art of love and scent in a single, delicious treat. Their fruit tart is made with a sweet white strawberry called “Hatsukoi no Kaori”, which exactly translates to "The Scent of First Love." Thus, after 20 years of research done by plant suppliers and fruit breeders in Japan, the first white strawberry was generated using only a tad bit of anthocyanin which gives red strawberries their color. Therefore, once it's fully ripe, the exclusive fruit turns light pink, making it the eventually romantic luxury.

Moreover, encased in a flaky pie crust and fluffy Bavarian cream, the white strawberries add a scenic touch. Hence, since growing these fruits is no easy feat, each slice costs $13.87 and the whole tart is worth $105.67. Further, the dessert will be offered until the end of February, so if you are in Japan for Valentine's Day, you may want to consider paying a visit to Qu’il Fait Bon if only to experience the attractive "scent of love."

Old Japanese Train Station Stays Open for One Daily Passenger

Well, something unique always surprise for daily life. Just like a Japan's Kami-Shirataki train station was thought to close three years ago, but still stayed open for an amazing reason. Though, since the terminal's located in the north island of Hokkaido, a very remote location located prompted the Japan Railway to shut it down. Nevertheless, they soon came to realize out that one person was still using the station: a young girl who wants public transportation to commute to and from her high school. 

Then this comprehension, the train has stopped at Kami-Shirataki just for her and will carry on doing so until she graduates on March 26th. Moreover train operators even adjusted their timetable to put up the girl's school schedule, so she can get a quality education and make contribution to country’s growth. This is a special instance in the world; a train is continuously providing quality service to a girl for education purpose, which is never heard before that. What do you say about this unique service? 

The Strange Hessdalen Lights Phenomenon

The presence of strange balls of light hovering over a valley in central Norway has puzzled scientists for years. The Hessdalen lights are unexplained nocturnal lights observed in a 12 km long Hessdalen valley in rural central Norway. It is well-known as the Hessdalen Phenomenon; the mysterious flashing orbs can be as large as cars and have even attracted attention from ufologists. Now these days scientists think the uncommon lights could be shaped by a natural “battery” buried deep underground, formed by metallic minerals reacting with a sulphurous river running through it.

Well, The Hessdalen lights appear at night, and seem to float through and above the valley. They’re generally bright white, yellow, or red and can appear above and below the horizon. The phenomenon duration may be from few seconds to longer than an hour. Although, many times the lights move with massive speed, and at other times, seem to slowly sway back and forth. On yet other occasions they hovering mid‑air. Some hypothesise that the light is ionized iron dust. The first time this strange light reported in 1930’s, and frequently seen between 1981 till mid-1984, being observed 15 to 20 times per week. Such, phenomenon highly attracted overnight tourists. Since 1983, several projects have been initiated to investigate the Hessdalen lights, but yet to conclude any confirm results. A recent report says that some of the lights drift gently through the sky for up to two hours, while others flash white or blue and streak through the valley, disappearing in seconds. Jader Monari of the Institute of Radio Astronomy in Medicina, Italy, has studied the Hessdalen site since 1996 and found that rocks in the valley are rich in zinc and iron on one side of the river running through it, and rich in copper on the other side. If there’s sulphur in the water in the middle, it makes a perfect battery.

Many experts believe the lights are a type of ball lightning because similar type of balls of light spotted and analyzed in China showed they were formed of silicon, iron and calcium which are present in the Hessdalen lights, along with the addition of an element called scandium. However, the Hessdalen lights do not appear when there is lightning. Perhaps the valley’s shape, climate and geology create a massive electric charge and that static electricity on the mountains was whipped up by strong winds. Therefore, some experts think some sort of plasma causes the light as when a gas ionizes it forms a cloud of ions and electrons plasma that create light. Thus, Plasmas can be cool to touch and can also kill microbes, but they require extremely high temperatures and an enormous supply of energy to be produced. So far there are several other competing theories as to how the light may be created, though the battery theory seems to be the most likely based upon current evidence. 

Tiger and Goat, Connect as Fast Friends Even Given to Him as Live Food

Well, this is really an interesting heart touching story between Amur the tiger and Timur the goat (who was initially meant to be Amur's live food) became fast friends in late November 2015 and in spite of what a lot of predicted the two are still good-naturedly living together. Therefore, at Russia's Far East Safari Park, the rare duo spend their time playing with one another as they relish a game of hide-and-seek, hunt together, or butt heads for fun. 

However, astonishingly, they remained fast friends after Timur (goat) evicted Amur (Tiger) from his shelter during a rainstorm. Though, under all circumstances, this duo has stuck together and even as Amur continues to display his predatory instinct. We still feed Amur live prey twice a week, but we don't give him goats anymore out of respect for Timur," zoo director Dmitry Mezentsev told BBC.

At the moment, the question is: what's stopping Amur from eating the goat that was meant to be his dinner? However, according to the tiger's caretakers, it all has to do with Timur's courage. From the time when the goat wasn't taught to be afraid of tigers, he didn't show spineless behavior when he was put in Amur's cage. Therefore, the tiger was tangled and gave up.  Thus, it happened once before, another goat pushed back and the tiger decided not to eat him, but once he showed weakness that was it his predator killed him. The situation now not the same and the animals are fast friends.

Moreover, to determine this extraordinary relationship, the Far East Safari Park plans to install as much as 16 cameras for a live stream. Since, the filmmakers “Eleonora Lyubimova” and “Sooyong Park” are also captivated by the tiger and goat's relationship, which is why they have filmed documentaries featuring the two great creatures. However, based on the coverage Amur and Timur have received thus far, it seems as though they have become a worldwide symbol for finding accord despite differences.

Germany Opens Bicycle Superhighway

Germany is taking its well-known Autobahn to an entire new level by making one for cyclists and put its pedals where its mouth is and opened its first bicycle-only highway, a three-mile stretch of protected roadway that is closed to cars and other motor vehicles. They are on the way to build a 100km long super highway for bicycles only, and bike-lovers can already cycle the first five kilometers. Therefore, the highway will eventually connect 10 western cities including Duisburg, Bochum and Hamm. 

Moreover it will be built along abandoned railroad tracks in Ruhr industrial region. According to Martin Toennes of regional development group RVR, about 2 million people living in the area will be able to travel on this route, which should result in 50,000 cars less on the roads every day. Europe’s first bicycle highway was well approved in London earlier this year, and others are in the works in the Holland and Denmark.

Bricklayer Transforms Ordinary Stone into Hypnotically Detailed Sculptures

UK based artist Johnny Clasper’s hypnotic free-form stonework is a swirling sight that garners its fair share of attention and exactly so. The stonemason's fervor for his craft is obvious in every detailed design.
