LGBTQ themed flash cards removed from NC preschool classroom. The Wake County school system is investigating how LGBTQ-themed flash cards were used in a preschool classroom, saying the items were inappropriate for children that age. In a news release Friday from N.C. House Speaker Tim Moore, state Rep. Erin Paré says a constituent emailed her saying that LGBTQIA+ themed flash cards, including one it says showed a pregnant man, were used to teach colors to children in a preschool class at Ballentine Elementary School in Fuquay-Varina. The flash card shows a drawing of a pregnant person with short hair.

The school’s principal removed the cards after being contacted by the lawmaker. In a statement Friday, Wake said the materials have been removed from the school and the district is reviewing the matter. “The district is concerned to learn of the inappropriate instructional resource found in a preschool classroom,” the school district said in the statement. Paré, a Wake County Republican, praised the principal for quickly removing the flash cards. Rep. Awesome people hanging out together.

Clouds by Zach Sobiech. Giant Crystal Pyramid Discovered In Bermuda Triangle. Terrence Aym The Bermuda Triangle: mysterious, unworldly, sometimes deadly. For decades intrepid researchers delved into the maze of mysteries hidden deep within this most enigmatic place on Earth. Some speculate the bizarre time anomalies, disappearances and weird phenomena can be explained by natural occurences. Others are insistent that relics of an advanced, unknown culture left behind fantastic technology…great energy machines that literally warp spacetime and open portals to other realities. Now American and French explorers have made a monumental discovery: a partially translucent, crystal-like pyramid rising from the Caribbean seabed— its origin, age and purpose completely unknown.

Pyramid discovery challenges current archaelogical theory A gigantic structure, perhaps larger than the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt, and initially identified by a doctor in the 1960s, has been independently verified by diving teams from France and the U.S. First discovered in 1968 Yes.

Index of /file/ The Moses Bridge is Invisible to The Eye.

A series of moats and fortresses were built over the West Brabant Water Line region of the Netherlands during the 17th century in order to provide protection from invasion by France and Spain. Fort de Roovere was surrounded with a shallow moat that was too deep to march across, and too shallow for boats. In turn the earthen fort had remained protected –until now.

From afar, the Moses Bridge is invisible to the eye. The flow of the moat appears continuous, as the water level remains at the same level, reflecting the surrounding foliage. First lying flush with the earth, the bridge then descends deeper into the ground. The bridge can’t be seen from a distance because the ground and the water come all the way up to its edge. According to the designers, virtually no water spills over the edge because the height of the water is controlled by two small adjustable ‘dams’ at both sides of the moat.

As they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas – but what if we could share with full discretion? Everyone of us has his own little secrets and ‘Confessions’, a public art project by american artist Candy Chang, invites people to anonymously share their confessions and see the confessions of people around them in the heart of the Las Vegas strip. Chang lived in Las Vegas for a month and turned her P3 Studio gallery into a contemplative place for people to share their confessions and being fascinated by the secrets others hide inside themselves.

Inspired by Post Secret, Shinto shrine prayer walls, and Catholicism, people could write and submit their confessions on wooden plaques in the privacy of confession booths. By the end of the exhibition, over 1500 confessions were displayed on the walls. It’s about sex, love, or fears of dying alone. All images © Candy Chang | Via: My Modern Met. Cubescape.

Learn something new every day. Air pollution now kills more people than high cholesterol. A Chinese motorist wears a mask as she makes her way along a smog filled road in Hefei, east China's Anhui province on Nov. 29, 2011. (STR - AFP/Getty Images) In 2010, 3.2 million people died prematurely from outdoor air pollution, mainly in Asia, and mainly from soot and other pollutants from diesel cars and trucks. That means outdoor air pollution is now a bigger health risk than high cholesterol — and, along with obesity, one of the fastest-growing health risks in the world.

(Air pollution only killed about 800,000 people worldwide in 1990, although measurements were much cruder back then.) The Lancet study also found that indoor air pollution, largely from smoky coal- or wood-burning cook stoves in countries in Africa, and in India, caused some 3.5 million premature deaths in 2010. That number has tumbled over the past two decades, but it's still high. So will the pollution problem get worse or better in the years to come? That trend won't stop anytime soon.

Doing it the Apple way, Air Camera strips away all the unnecessary aspects to a digital camera design. It leaves us with a Bluetooth enabled camera lens and a motion-sensor shutter button mounted on two rubber bands. Precious moments are captured with a simple click gesture and the images get transferred to your synced smartphone immediately.

This is how it works: if you want to click pictures, wear the camera band on your thumb and the shutter button on your forefinger and gesture to click a pic. To take videos, simply curve your fingers to mimic a video camera grip and shoot. The tension from the finger movement triggers the shutter button to operate. I think it’s a clever and fun concept!
