Incredible Man-Made Tunnels Formed with Wires & Repurposed Wood



Some artists are really incredible just like Henrique Oliveira’s, whose installation titled “Transarquitetônica” offer you to go on a fantastical journey through a cavernous interior. His fresh completed work is his largest till date, and he has magnificently created a fully-immersive environment inside of a large, root-like system. Upon entering in tunnels you can follow multiple paths that lead you throughout the sculpture while you are fully surrounded by repurposed wood pieces that are tacked together and look like bark on a tree. 

To construct a massive “Transarquitetônica” Henrique first built a skeleton framework and tighten up the joints with zip ties. Tapumes, which is fragile wood normally used in siding, was then layered and applied as the “skin” for the interior and exterior of the work. This makes for an engaging and surreal viewer experience that looks astonishing from the outside as branches twist around themselves in addition to the beams that are positioned inside of the gallery. Henrique Oliveira colossal sculpture will be on view at Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade in São Paulo through the end of November this year. So far you can view his magnificent work in pictures, or if you have the opportunity, take a trip through the winding tunnels.

A Lady Found Her Wedding Ring After 16 Years, Growing on a Carrot.


Some events in life are extremely unpredictable and mystify you. Like a woman found her ring 16 Years Later, amazingly growing on a Carrot. A Swedish lady named Lena Paahlsson lost her wedding ring long back in 1995. She took it off while baking and never found it. The ring was searched pedantically back then, even beneath the floor tiles. Here’s the bizarre part; the ring turned up only just, 16 years after she lost it. Lena Paahlsson was picking up carrots in her garden recently, and found the ring stuck in the middle of a carrot. The ring was donning a carrot which was pretty incredible. What can be deduced is that sixteen years back the ring might have fallen into the sink with the vegetable peelings. The peelings might have composted beneath the earth, but the ring stayed; only to appear again after 16 years.
Mrs Paahlsson was pulling up carrots in her garden that she noticed one with the gold band fastened tightly around it. Lena and her husband says; it is incredible that they’ve found their lost ring. We’ve given up the hopes, but now she wanted to have the ring adjusted to fit her. Now that I have found the ring again I want to be able to.

World’s Longest Traffic Jam



The world's longest traffic jam took place in Bejing, China, that started to form on August 14, 2010, mostly on China National Highway G110 and Beijing–Tibet expressway G6, in Hebei and Inner Mongolia. The traffic jam slowed down thousands of vehicles for more than 60 miles and lasted for more than 11 days. Several drivers were able to move their transport only 1 km per day, and some drivers being stuck in the traffic jam for five days. It is believed to be one of the longest traffic jams.
The cause of the traffic jam was a spike in traffic by heavy trucks heading to Beijing, along with National Highway 110's maintenance work that began five days later. The road construction which reduced the road capacity by 50% contributed heavily to the traffic and minor breakdowns and accidents were compounding the problem. You can imagine how would it be difficult to get the foods, and the locals near the highway sold numerous goods like water, instant noodles, and cigarettes at exaggerated prices to the stranded drivers. Even a bottle of water normally cost 1 yuan, but on the highway it was sold for 10 yuan.

Incredible Goat Climbers



Through a lifetime of climbing in the mountains, mountain goats reach this implausible virtuosity, excelling in the art of many other animals that seem more suited for this purpose. Live at high altitudes, up to 4600 m, thus escaping from predators. I'm afraid of unsecured heights and seeing this scares the mess outta me because I don't see away out after lunch. Interestingly if you turn the photographs sideways its looks like they fell to their death. If they can climb a vertical wall then that is amazing! It is just wonder how i never saw that before. This is without any doubt real and you can't say it is photo shop. This is Goat real life and it’s a mountain goat. We are way behind the abilities of most animals in speed strengths and agility even in aspects of telepathy. That’s why we should not be killing them but admires and harness their unique potential for our benefits and also theirs. Mountain goats can climb mountains. Search it up if you don't believe me.

Researchers have come up with a blue strawberry by splicing them with Fish genes!



Scientists are genetically modifying strawberries in order to let them to resist freezing temperatures better. They are doing it by artificial transfer of genes from a species of fish called the Arctic Flounder Fish. The Arctic Flounder Fish produces an anti-freeze that permits it to protect himself in freezing waters. They’re isolated the gene that creates this anti-freeze and introduced it to the strawberry. The result is a strawberry that looks blue and doesn't turn to mush or degrade after being placed in the freezer. Although they are not in production, research is ongoing.
The question is how did scientists make it blue and why, aside from the cool factor? When researchers discovered the Arctic Flounder Fish produces antifreeze to protect itself in frigid water, they surprised what’d happen if they introduced the gene that produces the antifreeze in to a strawberry plant.  They didn’t set out to make it blue, it just happened that way. Something else happened, too. They’ve discovered the blue strawberry plant can withstand freezing temperatures. This is an important discovery meaning it won’t turn to mush when placed in the freezer. This gives the idea that strawberries could be stored longer, increasing their shelf life.
We can imagine that it looks breathtaking, that atomic blue color is quite a novelty and is exceptionally attractive. But at the same time, would you feel safe eating it? Let us know in the comments, would you like to eat blue strawberries?
