Did You Know: Wortcraft is the practice of discovering alchemical properties by eating ingredients? It requires "grinding it against the teeth, which occasionally releases its simplest essence and results in a fleeting effect on the eater".

By studying calcifying organisms, Leanne aims to better understand the impacts of human activity on marine ecosystems. Through her research, she hopes to influence policy that helps protect marine calcifiers in the future.

“Why is this important? The idea is that the more porous the shell, the weaker it is. Mussels need strong, robust shells to protect their inner soft organs—and that strong 3D structure is important for ecosystem function as habitat formers and storm defenses.

Currently, the changes seen in shell porosity are not large enough to influence the material properties, so we aren’t seeing weaker shells just yet. But with further warming in our oceans being predicted, this could potentially lead to even more porous shells, potentially impacting mussels’ function as habitat formers and storm defenses, as well as their ability to protect themselves from predation,” Melbourne explains.

Learn more about her research here.

Things look blurry because of the way the light entering your eye hits the back of your eyeball . If the curvature of your eye or the length of the eye isn’t exactly right, the images can be out of focus. Glasses help correct that so that the images are sharp.

Your eyesight can change over the course of your lifetime, so if you don’t have glasses now, you might someday! Or you might need a different prescription as you get older. And some people who have glasses as kids don’t always need them as adults.

*Don't forget to check out Zeelool for your next pair of frames! Use code BSJ to get 15% off already reduced glasses!!! 🤓 (see my profile pic for style Krystle )

Do you wear prescription glasses?

Interesting 👇

{Amethyst}💜💜

Since it’s February, Amethyst considered the birthstone of February. Did you know that Amethyst can be used to radiate into water and the water itself then has the frequency.? Try using amethyst water before going to sleep. 🤔

Did You Know: If Salmo the Baker ever acquires bread in his inventory, he will go to either the Two Sisters Lodge or the West Weald Inn, take a bite out of the bread, and crash the game? To avoid this happening, he has been programmed to not seek out bread, despite being a baker.

Have you ever noticed this gigantic mosquito at the Museum?

This isn’t a specimen of some monstrously-sized insect, but instead a scaled-up model of the tiny Anopheles maculipennis. This mosquito model is enlarged 47 times and debuted at the Museum in 1917 as part of an effort to educate the public about mosquito-borne illnesses like malaria and yellow fever.

Of the more than 3,500 species of mosquito known to science, the Anopheles mosquito is among a small handful responsible for malaria transmission in humans. While only females bite and transmit disease to humans, this model is a male.

At the time, it was a somewhat controversial idea that the mosquito, not poor sanitation, spread malaria. Since the model’s unveiling at the Museum, huge advances have been made in the global effort to combat and treat malaria as well as to educate the public about the disease.

Misinformation?

On my internet?

Take this and come with me.

Now gather 'round the Preamble

Alright some critical thinking questions:

By saying Arab Palestinians belong in Palestine, does that mean they are suggesting only Arab Palestinians belong there? If yes why did they still choose to recognize others as Palestinian? Who would that include? How do these questions apply to the next point made about Islam in Palestine?

When the charter says "Palestine is the cause of a people who have been let down by a world that fails to secure them their rights [...]." Does this exclude Jewish experiences?

Did any drafts of the The Balfour Declaration, which declared a land for Jewish ppl, include Palestinian voices?

Is Zionism representative of all Jewish people?

Since Zionism and Judaism are not the same; How is the state of Israel silencing Orthodox Jewish ppl by enforcing a state which opposes their beliefs? Is this antisemitic?

What does "Palestinians of all affiliations" mean within the context of "fully sovereign"? How does liberation apply to all of the above?

By saying "Palestine is the spirit of the Ummah" are they suggesting it is relevant only to Muslim people? Why or why not?

Did anywhere in this Preamble state the express desire to remove, punish, or kill Jewish people?

The charter is only 11 pages btw.

Im gonna go over all of them on my blog to debunk Zionists spreading misinformation.

The next section is simply titled 'The Movement' btw. I'll make a post about it later or tomorrow maybe depending on the feedback I get after this post lol

I did it

#that's not what the charter says #<----- my blog tag for this little miniseries #2017 charter #free Palestine #free gaza #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #correcting misinfo #did you know #whiteness #white Supremacy #go to the source not to the propaganda #palestine #Gaza #hamas #israel

Things You Probably Never Knew About The Great Lakes.....

1. Lake Superior is actually not a lake at all, but an inland sea .

2. All of the four other Great Lakes, plus three more the size of Lake Erie, would fit inside of Lake Superior.

3. Isle Royale is a massive island surrounded by Lake Superior. Within this island are several smaller lakes. Yes, that’s a lake on a lake.

4. Despite its massive size, Lake Superior is an extremely young formation by Earth’s standards (only 10,000 years old).

5. There is enough water in Lake Superior to submerge all of North and South America in 1 foot of water.

6. Lake Superior contains 3 quadrillion gallons of water (3,000,000,000,000,000). All five of the Great Lakes combined contain 6 quadrillion gallons.

7. Contained within Lake Superior is a whopping 10% of the world’s fresh surface water.

8. It’s estimated there are about 100 million lake trout in Lake Superior. That’s nearly one-fifth of the human population of North America!

9. There are small outlets through which water leaves Lake Superior. It takes two centuries for all the water in the lake to replace itself.

10. Lake Erie is the fourth-largest Great Lake in surface area, and the smallest in depth. It’s the 11th largest lake on the planet.

11. There is alleged to be a 30- to 40-foot-long “monster” in Lake Erie named Bessie. The earliest recorded sighting goes back as early as 1793.

12. Water in Lake Erie replaces itself in only 2.6 years, which is notable considering the water in Lake Superior takes two centuries.

13. The original publication of Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax contained the line, “I hear things are just as bad up in Lake Erie.”Fourteen years later, the Ohio Sea Grant Program wrote to Seuss to make the case that conditions had improved. He removed the line.

14. Not only is lake Erie the smallest Great Lake when it comes to volume, but it’s surrounded by the most industry.Seventeen metropolitan areas, each with populations of more than 50,000, border the Lake Erie basin.

15. During the War of 1812, the U.S. beat the British in a naval battle calledthe Battle of Lake Erie, forcing them to abandon Detroit.

16. The shoreline of all the Great Lakes combined equals nearly 44% of the circumference of the planet.

17. If not for the the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron might be considered one lake.Hydrologically speaking, they have the same mean water level and are considered one lake.

18. The Keystone State was one of the largest and most luxurious wooden steamships running during the Civil War.In 1861, it disappeared. In 2013, it was found 30 miles northeast of Harrisville under 175 feet of water.

19. Goderich Mine is the largest salt mine in the world. Part of it runs underneath Lake Huron, more than 500 meters underground.

20. Below Lake Huron, there are 9,000-year-old animal-herding structures used by prehistoric people from when the water levels were significantly lower.

21. There are massive sinkholes in Lake Huron that have high amounts of sulfur and low amounts of oxygen, almost replicating the conditions of Earth’s ancient oceans 3 million years ago. Unique ecosystems are contained within them.

22. Lake Huron is the second largest among the Great Lakes, and the fifth largest in the world.

23. In size, Lake Michigan ranks third among the Great Lakes, and sixth among all freshwater lakes in the world.

24. Lake Michigan is the only Great Lake that is entirely within the borders of the United States.

25. The largest fresh water sand dunes in the world line the shores of Lake Michigan.

26. Because water enters and exits Lake Michigan through the same path, it takes 77 years longer for the water to replace itself than in Huron, despite their similarity in size and depth. (Lake Michigan: 99 years, Lake Huron: 22 years)

27. When the temperature of Lake Michigan is below freezing, this happens.

28. Within Lake Michigan there is a “triangle” with a similar reputation to the Bermuda Triangle, where a large amount of “strange disappearances” have occurred. There have also been alleged UFO sightings.

29. Singapore, Mich., is a ghost town on the shores of Lake Michigan that was buried under sand in 1871. Because of severe weather conditions and a lack of resources due to the need to rebuild after the great Chicago fire, the town was lost completely.

30. In the mid-19th century, Lake Michigan had a pirate problem. Their booty: timber. In fact, the demise of Singapore is due in large part to the rapidly deforested area surrounding the town.

31. Jim Dreyer swam across Lake Michigan in 1998 (65 miles), and then in 2003, he swam the length of Lake Michigan (422 miles).

32. Lake Michigan was the location of the first recorded “Big Great Lakes disaster,” in which a steamer carrying 600 people collided with a schooner delivering timber to Chicago. Four hundred and fifty people died.

33. Lake Ontario is the smallest of the Great Lakes in surface area, and second smallest in depth. It’s the 14th largest lake on the planet.

34. The province Ontario was named after the lake, and not vice versa.

35. In 1804, a Canadian warship, His Majesty’s Ship Speedy, sank in Lake Ontario. In 1990, wreck hunter Ed Burtt managed to find it. Only, he isn’t allowed to recover any artifacts until a government-approved site to exhibit them is found. He’s still waiting.

36. Babe Ruth hit his first major league home run at Hanlan’s Point Stadium in Toronto. It landed in Lake Ontario and is believed to still be there.

37. A lake on Saturn’s moon Titan is named after Lake Ontario.
