I’m not sure what the odds are that I would see complimentary patterns aligned so well at just the perfect time. I’m not a statistician, but perhaps its ten thousand to one… a million to one… a billion to one or maybe even a trillion to one? Who knows. As photographers we often focus more on the outcome than reflecting on the experience and appreciating the odds of finding the proverbial needle in a haystack… ...

(Images via: Discover Magazine and Jim Knapp) If you thought tree climbing goats were strange, meet the breed of goats that faints and falls over when spooked. Singularly and en masse these weird goats freeze for a number of seconds and generally fall over in the process. The goats have a significant fan following, are frequently used as pets and are even at the center of an annual fainting goat festival. (Images via: OneMansBlog and ...

Speaking at last year’s EG Conference in Los Angeles, animal behaviorist Ian Dunbar gave a talk on dog-friendly dog training. His training method emphasizes positive reinforcement as the key motivator. Dunbar’s talk tackles issues of dominance, classical training (which involves punishment), dogs learning English as a second language, turning distractions into trained behaviors, punishment without force, and human relationship skills as applied to puppies…and kids. There are a few odd audio issues during the talk, ...

Instead of the usual game of “counting the number of grains in a teaspoon of snow,” ANSMET (Antarctic Search for Meteorites) pursued the mission of building a didgeridoo. After several failed [...]

One day you’re feeling satisfied with the fruits of all your yard work. The next day, your lawn is a gaping pit of mud. That’s if you are lucky - it could have been your house, neighborhood or, say, local interstate.

Lost in drive-by country? Look for a cow. It will probably be pointing north—or south. After analyzing satellite photos of 8,000 cows in 308 different locations, German scientists have found that the milk-makers usually confront the world in a north-south direction. This preference isn’t an indication of the cows sunning themselves, researchers say—it shows that they can sense the Earth’s magnetic field. read more

La plupart des grains de raisin que vous trouverez dans les cépages français donneront un jus clair (exception faite des cépages dits “teinturiers”). Ce jus se nomme le “moût” de raisin car c’est un jus non fermenté. Une fois le raisin récolté, on le fera fermenter ou vieillir dans différentes cuves ou fûts, avec ou sans sa peau, en fonction de la couleur du vin que l’on souhaite obtenir : Pour obtenir du vin blanc, ...
