The 4-Ton Steel Ball That Produces Artificial Earthquakes


In the wooded hillside of Hainberg, near Göttingen, Germany, stands an old seismological station. The Wiechert Earthquake Station was built in 1902 by the noted German physicist and geophysicist, Emil Wiechert, to carry out research in the emerging field of geophysics. Wiechert built several seismographs there to record tremors. These instruments have been recording data uninterruptedly since then, becoming the world’s oldest, still functioning seismograph.
Emil Wiechert was interested in learning about the structure of the earth. A few years prior, he had published the first verifiable model of the Earth's interior as a series of shells. He argued that since the density of the Earth's surface rocks was different from the mean density of the Earth, the earth must be made of different layers of rocks of different densities. He concluded, correctly, that the earth has a heavy iron core.

Galileo’s Missing Fingers


Everybody in Florence knows where Galileo Galilei lies buried. His mortal remains are in a crypt inside the famous Basilica di Santa Croce, the principal Franciscan church of the city. The 16th century scientist shares this space with several of his illustrious fellow Italians, such as Michelangelo, Machiavelli, the poet Foscolo, the philosopher Gentile and the composer Rossini.

When Galileo died in 1642, the Grand Duke of Tuscany wanted to bury him in this very place next to the tombs of his father and other ancestors. But because Galileo was declared a heretic, an enemy of the church, the plans were dropped and he was instead buried in a small room next to the novices' chapel.

People Who Deserve a Prize for Their Creativity

People Who Deserve a Prize for Their Creativity


Odd and eccentric people make this world brighter. For example, John Chapman, an American drifter who was known as Johnny Appleseed, wandered around the country for 40 years planting apple trees on 160 sq m of land. He wasn’t just throwing seeds on the ground — he took care of the trees. He wore a sack instead of a shirt and a cooking pot instead of a hat to cook food for himself. Over the course of time, he became a legendary character. Just as other characters from our collection, he wasn’t a fan of rules and expectations and wasn’t afraid to seem a bit ridiculous.

London’s Cabmen's Shelters

London’s Cabmen's Shelters
Scattered throughout the streets of London, often overlooked, are small green sheds that have been offering shelter and hot food to the city’s cab drivers since 1875.
In those times, cab drivers rode horse-drawn carriages where the passengers sat inside while the poor cabbie had to sit on the top, exposed to the elements. But the drivers couldn’t just park their cabs by the side of the road and grab a quick drink at a public house, because the law forbade them to leave their carriages unattended. Some cabmen therefore employed young lads whose job was to look after the cab while they were away, as well as help carry the luggage and do other menial jobs.

The story goes that on one January morning in 1875, the editor of The Globe newspaper, a certain George Armstrong, sent his manservant out into a raging blizzard to engage a taxi to take him to his office at Fleet Street. An hour later, the manservant returned soaked to the skin and announced that all available cabbies were seeking shelter in a nearby pub and drinking merrily, and that none were in a condition to safely drive his master to his office.
In response, Captain Armstrong got together a few like-minded philanthropists, including the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury, and created a charity called the Cabmen’s Shelter Fund whose mission was to erect dedicated shelters for cabbies’ use.
Between 1875 and 1914, a total of 61 shelters were built, at cost of around £200 each. All were positioned near the busiest cab stands within a 6 mile radius of Charring Cross. Because the shelters stood on a public highway, the police stipulated they could be no larger than a horse and cart. Even with its diminutive size, each shelter squeezed in a working kitchen and seated up to a dozen men at a time. Each shelter was staffed by an attendant who sold food and non-alcoholic drink to the cabbies. The attendant also cooked food brought in by the cabbies themselves. Some cabbies bought their own mugs, and kept them at the shelter. There were seats and tables, and a selection of books and newspapers, most of them donated by the publishers or other benefactors
The Cabmen’s Shelters solved two problems: one, it gave cabbies access to hot food at affordable prices and shelter during unpleasant weather, and second, it kept them away from alcohol during work hours.
Only 13 Cabmen’s Shelters remain today. They are still run by the Cabmen's Shelter Fund, and they still cater to London’s taxi drivers. All are now Grade II listed buildings. They are located at:
  1. Chelsea Embankment SW3 – close to junction with Albert Bridge, London
  2. Embankment Place WC2 – close to the Playhouse Theatre
  3. Grosvenor Gardens SW1 – to the west side of the north gardens
  4. Hanover Square, London W1 – on the north side of the central gardens
  5. Kensington Park Road W11 – outside numbers 8–10
  6. Kensington Road W8 – close to the junction of Queen's Gate SW7
  7. Pont Street SW1 – close to the junction of Sloane Street
  8. Russell Square WC1 – Western Corner (relocated to here from Leicester Square)
  9. St. George's Square, Pimlico SW1 – on the north side
  10. Temple Place WC2 – opposite side of the road from the Swissötel Howard
  11. Thurloe Place, Kensington SW7 – in the middle of the road, east of the entrance to the Victoria and Albert Museum
  12. Warwick Avenue, London W9 – centre of the road, by Warwick Avenue tube station
  13. Wellington Place NW8 – near to Lord's Cricket Ground

Rama’s Bridge: A Bridge Built By Monkeys


In the great Indian epic of Ramayana, penned several thousand years ago, author Valmiki speaks of a bridge over the ocean connecting India and Sri Lanka. The epic poem, that stretches for nearly 24,000 verses, narrates the life of the divine prince Rama and his struggle to rescue his abducted wife Sita from the demon king Ravana, the ruler of Sri Lanka.

Rama, the crown prince, was forced to relinquish his right to the throne and go into exile for fourteen years. During his stay in the forest, his wife Sita was abducted by the evil demon king Ravana and taken to Sri Lanka. Rama organized an army consisting of monkeys and led them to Sri Lanka, where a lengthy war broke out. In the end, Ravana was defeated, and Rama returned home with his wife to be crowned king.
adams-bridge-6
In the story, when Rama’s army reaches the ocean across which lies the island of Sri Lanka, the apes construct a floating bridge across the sea by writing the name of Rama on the stones and tossing them into the water. According to the legend, the stones didn’t sink because they had Rama's name written on them. Rama’s army then used the bridge to cross the sea towards Sri Lanka.
If you look at satellite photos of this region today, you will notice a faint hint of a connecting strip between the two countries. This so called Rama's Bridge or Rama Setu, also known as Adam’s Bridge, is a long, twisting stretch of shoal and sandbank connecting the Indian island of Rameswaram, off the southeastern coast of Tamil Nadu, to Mannar Island, off the northwestern coast of Sri Lanka. The bridge is about 50 km long. Much of it is under water today, but centuries ago, it formed an intermittent, but otherwise solid, connecting link between India and Sri Lanka. The causeway existed as late as the 15th century and was passable on foot, as per records kept at the Rameswaram temple, until it was flooded in a storm.
The existence of the bridge has been known in India as well as Sri Lanka since ages, as evident from the legend perpetuated by the ancient epic of Ramayana. For as long as anybody could remember, the sea separating the two countries has been called Sethusamudram meaning "Sea of the Bridge". The 9th century Persian geographer, Ibn Khordadbeh, mentioned the bridge in his Book of Roads and Kingdoms, referring to it is Set Bandhai or "Bridge of the Sea". The name “Adam’s Bridge” is an early-19th-century British invention —a reference to an Abrahamic myth that Adam used the bridge to cross from Sri Lanka to India.
adams-bridge-3
Rama’s army of monkeys building the stone bridge to Sri Lanka.
Many orthodox Hindus consider the existence of the bridge to be an unshakable proof of Ramayana itself, and the stories described in it. Pseudo-scientists, conspiracy theorist, and theologians believe that the bridge was actually built by Rama and his army of monkeys. When a NASA photograph of the region showing a meandering causeway disappearing into the distance was released in 2002, online conspiracy theorists went off on a wild goose chase trying to prove it was a man-made structure.
Although geologists have repeatedly tried to debunk the myth, there is still a diverse range of opinion and confusion about the nature and origin of this structure. There are some half a dozen different theories that attempt to explain the structure. One attributes it to continuous sand deposition and the natural process of sedimentation leading to the formation of a chain of barrier islands, while another suggest that the bridge may be an old shoreline, implying that the two landmasses of India and Sri Lanka were once connected. Studies have variously described the structure as a chain of shoals, coral reefs, a ridge formed in the region owing to thinning of the earth's crust, a double tombolo, a sand spit, or barrier islands.
Things got a little heated when the Government of India proposed dredging through Rama's Bridge in order to create a shipping route in the shallow straits between India and Sri Lanka. Right now, ships trying to move between India's west and east coasts have to go around Sri Lanka. A long deepwater channel connecting the Palk Strait with the Gulf of Mannar would cut over 400 km off the voyage saving both time and money. But ultra-right wing Hindu organizations strongly opposed the project saying that the bridge is a “religious monument” and should not be destroyed.
The project is currently on hold, but for more coherent reasons. Environmentalists say that dredging a channel would destroy corals, while also harming the fishing reserve in the area, throwing the ecology in the region off balance. Besides, the sandbank provides natural protection against tsunami waves traveling from the east to the west coast and vice versa. The government is now considering an alternate route that doesn’t involve destroying Rama's Bridge.

Who Put Bella In The Wych Elm


This question, which appears in the form of a graffiti on a towering brick obelisk in Hagley in Worcestershire, England, has been haunting the small village for more than seventy years.
The story begins one April afternoon in 1943. Four teenage boys from a neighboring village were out hunting for bird eggs in Hagley Wood when they came across a large wych elm. In the hollow trunk of the elm they discovered what first appeared to be an animal skull. But after seeing hair and teeth, the horrified boys realized that it was human. Knowing the boys were trespassing on another’s property, they quietly put the skull back into the hollow and made a pact to tell no one about the grisly find. But the weight of the secret was too much to bear for the youngest of the boys, Tommy Willetts, who told his parents, who in turn notified the police.

When the police checked the trunk of the tree they found not only the detached skull but an almost complete skeleton, with a shoe, a gold wedding ring, and some fragments of clothing. A severed hand from the body was also discovered buried nearby. Forensics determined that it was the skeleton of a woman, around 35 years of age, and she had been dead for at least 18 months. A fragment of taffeta in her mouth established the cause of death as suffocation. The coroner declared that the woman was murdered and her body pushed into the hole while she was still warm, as rigor mortis would have made it impossible to fit the body into the tight confines of the hollow trunk.
Despite exhaustive searches through dental records, the police could not identify the victim. The Second World War, which was in full swing at that time, also hampered investigation as a lot of men and women had gone to the war or relocated somewhere else and were reported missing. The trail eventually grew cold.
Bella_Skull
The skull of "Wych Elm Bella," as retrieved 18 April 1943.
That Christmas mysterious graffiti began appearing around town asking the ominous question: “Who put Luebella down the wych elm?”, or the variation, “Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?”. The messages were written in chalk in three-inch-tall capital letters, probably by the same hand.
This was the first time the victim was called by a name, implicating that the artist knew who the victim was and possibly the murderer too. Or perhaps the mysterious graffiti artist was the killer himself (or herself), mocking and taunting the police with his messages. Whoever the artist was, the person never came forward, but the messages continued to appear, and have so, intermittently up until the present times.
Whether or not “Bella” was the victim’s real name became irrelevant. The name stuck and even the police began to use it. Initially, investigation tracked down a Birmingham-based prostitute named Bella, who reportedly went missing in 1941, but results were inconclusive.
Thanks to the persistent graffiti, the murder mystery refused to die and as the decades rolled by, new theories emerged. An anthropologist named Margaret Murray was certain the case was tied to witchcraft. Cutting off the hand and imprisoning the body in the hollow of a tree was an ancient tradition, she pointed out. Another theory identified the killed woman as a Dutch spy named Clarabella Dronkers (notice the “bella” in her name?) who was passing information to the Nazis and was executed by her fellow Dutchmen for treason.
Periodically, memories of the macabre murder would be revived by a fresh graffiti. Since at least the 1970s, this graffiti has adorned the walls of the 18th century Wychbury Obelisk in Hagley Park. Sometimes the paint on the graffiti would fade away but there was always someone in town who wanted to keep the mystery alive, and a new graffiti would appear.
Even the police haven’t lost hope. As of 1999, more than half a century after the body was discovered, the case file was still open and the West Mercia police still waiting for new leads. But with most of the witnesses dead, it’s unlikely that any new leads will be coming. The true identity of Bella will perhaps never be found.

This hairstyle implies faded sides and the back, which are accompanied by either a long or short top. This is a type of tapering, but the major difference is that the hair is cut drastically lower than in tapered cuts. There are several types of fades:

  • A disconnected undercut fade has a long hair on the crown with an immediate disconnect and the sides are always cut dramatically short.
  • A side part taper fade incorporates a side part, which tapers into a fade.
How to style faded undercut:
This hairstyle doesn’t require much styling. It fits both dense and sparse hair. All you have to do is to maintain the top you want: it may be either messy, textured, curly or sleek using styling products. Everything depends on the type of your hair and its length.

The man, who has long and dense locks, should use them wisely. A perfect variant for this hair is a pompadour hairstyle. It features trimmed sides and a volumetric top. This top is combed upwards or backward to create a bulge. Curly and dense hair fits this hairstyle. There are several types of the pompadour hairstyle:

  • The side part pompadour features a traditional pompadour hairstyle with a side part, which makes the look more defined.
  • A short pompadour has shorter hair, but still, it looks classy.
  • A curly pompadour integrates faded sides and chaotic curls at the top.
  • A pompadour and a beard are a trendy combination. The sides are tapered, the crown is long and textured, and a full beard finishes the look.
How to style:
You may use styling products to make the crown messy, textured, sleek, or style the temple near the part line. If you use a round brush, a decent amount of pomade and a blow dryer, you’ll get a sophisticated look faster.
Caesar Hairstyle

This hairstyle is a classic cut, which may be modern if you add a textured top to it. The sides may be tapered or left without a taper and the top is one inch longer than other strands, that is why there is a slight forelock. This haircut can mask a problem of the hair loss or sparse hair and it does not require a special maintenance. There are two major types of this hairstyle:
  • A classic Caesar hairstyle requires an equal length (1-3 inches) over the scalp.
  • A modern Caesar haircut has a taper on the sides and the back and the crown are also tapered. Besides, this haircut may be combined with an undercut hairstyle.
