Entremet

Entremet Originally shared by Kam-Yung Soh "“Like most people in the US, I grew up knowing the words to this carol and even (shudder) singing them occasionally (singing is not a strong point of mine), but never really thought about what they meant, how the carol originated, or what birds were involved”, says Dr Rasmussen in email. So she decided to figure it out. Dr Rasmussen, who’s tied for third for the most bird discoveries in the world, is probably also the world’s foremost avian sleuth, due to her meticulous detective work a few years ago that uncovered the many ornithological thefts and records frauds in museums that were committed by eminent British ornithologist, Richard Meinertzhagen. But who would ever have thought that an old Christmas carol might also hold an avian mystery? “After all, it’s just a Christmas carol!” Dr Rasmussen points out." https://medium.com/@GrrlScientist/meet-the-real-birds-of-the-twelve-days-of-christmas-fame-grrlscientist-5a8bc09350c9

Flushbunkingly Gloriumptious Originally shared by Kam-Yung Soh "Renowned children's author and occasional spy, Roald Dahl spent the last years of his life in a home located in the small English village of Great Missenden, and now his beloved village is home to an attractive museum devoted to his life and works.  [...] Today the museum holds all of Dahl's original manuscripts, as well as his "Idea Books" where he would jot down his nascent creations. In addition to celebrating his writing career, there are also displays covering his service in the RAF. However, the crown jewel of the museum is the recreation of Dahl's purpose built "Writing Hut," complete with the arm chair he had customized to write in." http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-roald-dahl-museum

Whither Teela Brown?

Whither Teela Brown? via George Station Originally shared by David Amerland Consequences When we look at the world, each of us, has a deep, almost intuitive understanding of the fact that nothing happens without a reason ( https://goo.gl/qkM6hi ). That allows us to sense that there is no real random factor in the universe ( https://goo.gl/8cx3E5 ). This seemingly simple notion has deep personal, philosophical and scientific impact. If the universe is not random ( https://goo.gl/8cx3E5 ) then chance plays no role in it. Everything has a cause and everything is intentional which might even mean (some hope) that the universe has a design upon us ( https://goo.gl/oFy8bW ) and that everything has meaning. Yet randomness, as an effect (and at times a cause) seems to be baked-in: https://goo.gl/jpm2ft . If randomness truly exists, goes the argument, then chance is universal, our best-laid plans are capable of being overturned by truly unpredictable factors and life is a sequence of steps that...
