Pigeon Guillemots are shorebirds of the Pacific Coast that nest on cliffs and rocky islands that make it hard for predators to reach their eggs.
Their bodies are streamlined like torpedoes, making them excellent swimmers, which they need to be to hunt fish.

Kelp vs seaweed vs algae
- what's the difference?!
Well, we're here to "kelp"
All kelps are seaweeds, but not all seaweeds are kelp. Both are types of algae, which, despite common belief, are not plants!
"Seaweed" is a fairly broad term that encompasses red algae, green algae, and brown algae. Seaweed species can vary drastically in size, ranging from teeny tiny to meters long...
Kelp is a particular subgroup of large brown algae, primarily belonging to the order Laminariales. In comparison to other "seaweeds," kelp is typically larger and more structurally defined, having a holdfast, stipe (stem), and blades (leaves). Kelp is also well-known for growing in dense forests and is generally found in colder waters rich in nutrients 🌿

This is what beach sand looks like magnified 300 times under a microscope.
Common grains of sand are a collection of small jewels. Observed under a microscope, they reveal delicate structures full of color. To the naked eye, the tiny particles that make up sand are boring, but under a microscope everything changes. Looking closely at the sand reveals a world of brilliant colors, organic shapes and stunning natural patterns.

"Jess Dixon (1886-1963) of Andalusia, Alabama, USA got tired of being stuck in traffic, so he designed and built this flying vehicle in 1936. It is a combination of automobile, helicopter and motorcycle.
It has two large lifting rotors in a single head revolving in opposite directions. It is powered by a 40 HP engine which is aircooled. According to Dixon it is capable of a top speed of 100 mph. The vehicle was designed to allow for the transfer of engine power from the rotor blades to the wheels."
Jess Dixon of Andalusia, Alabama (1886-1963), was a man continuously investigating mechanical or experimental fields, and he tinkered with almost anything mechanical. Even before receiving any formal flight training, he constructed and flew a glider of his own design that was flown successfully from Dixon airport.
Tired of being tied up in traffic jams, he then devoted his efforts in 1936 to the development of a unique flying machine, a combination of automobile, helicopter, autogiro, and motorcycle.
Dixon spent a lot of his spare time at the local airport with some of the early pilots and worked on gliders as well as his helicopter project. He did make a considerable contribution to the development of the machine and sought a patent on some of the apparatus that controlled the pitch of the blades. He then built a framework to hold a motor and provide a seat for the pilot.
The “Flying Ginny,” as Dixon liked to call it, was designed to allow for the transfer of engine power from the rotor blades to the wheels, which enabled its operation on surface roads. For flight and hover, it had two large lifting rotors in a single head, revolving in opposite directions, with cyclic and collective pitch control. Foot pedals actuated a hinged vane on the tail, counting on rotor downwash for yaw control.
The undesignated machine could fly forward, backward or straight up, or hover in the air. It could run on road or fly across country. Although Dixon himself called it a "helicopter", it was just as much an automobile, and even required automobile license plates.

This block of maisonettes was built in Tower Hamlets, London in the 1950s by modernist architect Denys Lasdun.
Faced with a need to build new housing on small sites at a high density following the Second World War, the local housing authority found Lasdun's plans for creating 24 maisonettes over 8 floors in a butterfly layout an alternative to building high rises.
Lasdun went on to design more prominent post-war buildings around London, most notably the National Theatre.
