While Lady Gaga and Aya Nakamura had pre-recorded their performances

“While Lady Gaga and Aya Nakamura had pre-recorded their performances

at the Olympic opening ceremony in case of technical glitches, the event’s musical director Victor Le Masne disclosed the Quebec artist wished to ‘really sing’,” according to a report on BFM TV.
It’s no secret Céline Dion’s performance from the Eiffel Tower during the rain-soaked opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics has won universal acclaim.
But now a report from a French TV station has revealed Dion’s performance was also inspirational and heroic for another reason: she sang live against the advice of the event’s musical director and amid concerns about her health, given she was diagnosd in 2022 with a rare autoimmune condition called Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), which can make singing extremely difficult.

It was Dion’s first live performance in over a year — with hundreds of millions of people watchng worldwide.

Archaeologists have long suspected that some of the "heads" on Easter Island had a buried body.

Archaeologists have long suspected that some of the "heads" on Easter Island had a buried body. At the same time, the "giant heads," several meters high, were thought to be an exception. In fact, if these heads had an underlying body, they would have had to be real stone giants, at least 20 meters tall, to meet the proportions. Recent excavations have shown that the "giant heads" on Easter Island are actually buried "stone giants" whose heads emerged from the earth.. How did statues weighing several tons end up almost 20 meters deep? If they did it on purpose, how did they manage to do it without breaking them? Easter Island is little more than a small island. Where did they get the manpower to bury dozens and dozens of "stone giants" in the middle of the Ocean? Unanswered questions. ... The Egyptians were able to do similar things, but they had the manpower of an empire at their disposal. What labor force did the islanders of tiny Eas...

BEGINNING OF FORMAL EDUCATION IN SENYA BERAKU.

Image
BEGINNING OF FORMAL EDUCATION IN SENYA BERAKU. The spirit of every society is its religion (what it believes in in terms of values and morals); the soul is in its education (what it learns and teaches) and the body is in its economy ( what it produces and distributes). The Senya Beraku community, like every African society, didn't receive its education system from the Europeans as we were deceived to believe. For the people of Senya, even writing, was already in existence before Europeans arrived, except that they used "biriw" (charcoal) to write on surfaces such as clay walls and the bare ground, giving birth to the adage, "Ɔni sɛnyi igowo" (Preserve it on walls), when sending warning to somebody, especially disobedient children. As a result the ancient writings  with such characters survive the test of time. But thank God the characters and the concept behind the building of the characters were successfully passed on to present generation. And I am privileged ...

Breaking out of Black and White Having the ability to quickly react to any given scenario with a yay or nay response can be quite useful in every day life.

Breaking out of Black and White Having the ability to quickly react to any given scenario with a yay or nay response can be quite useful in every day life. Things such as "Should I start crossing the street exactly now?" Or "should I touch this glowing object?" I wouldn't tell anyone to think otherwise- but when it comes down to things we all know should be thought out in proper, most people do tend to still fall into knee-jerk reactions. This isn't anything new for us as humans. The foundations of many ancient esoteric practices are at least in part designed to combat these sorts of reactions. Practices such as Taoism, Buddhism, Hermetics, and even Christianity. Eastern practices tend to lean farther towards speaking directly about dispelling the thought patterns that give rise to these types of reactions. But any spiritual path that includes "Unity" or "Onenes" involves dispelling what is most commonly known as "duality". The ...

The last American slave ship docked

Image
"The last American slave ship docked illegally in Mobile, Alabama in 1860, carrying about 160 West African captives. Among them was Cudjo Lewis, who recognized how his birth culture might be erased while toiling in this new land. So when he was freed, he purchased two acres and started a self-sufficient community of survivors of the last slave ship. Known to outsiders as Africatown, Lewis' neighborhood was modeled on his West African home, where extended families lived together, members conversed in their regional languages, and partook in traditions that might otherwise be lost to them in America. Today, Africatown still exists and houses the descendants of the nation's last slave ship community.

Today in 1915. The worst rail disaster in Britain took place at Quintinshill (Gretna Green) in Scotland, killing 227 people and injuring 246.

Today in 1915. The worst rail disaster in Britain took place at Quintinshill (Gretna Green) in Scotland, killing 227 people and injuring 246.   The chain of disaster started when a troop train collided with the stationary commuter train which had been stopped to allow the a delayed Sleeper Service a chance to make up the time lost. This commuter train had been moved from Northbound line to the Southbound mainline rather than into the actual passing loops, these where occupied by two freight trains.  The commuter train was now directly in the path of a troop train carrying 500 men of the 1/7th Leith Battalion of the Royal Scots on route for Gallipoli. All troop trains have clear line status, something that is still enforced today should the need arise. This also means that it’s travelling at full speed and smashed head on into the commuter train.  Just a minute later the Sleeper Service from Euston to Glasgow collided with the wreckage of the troop and commuter train....

One of the underwater mysteries that once puzzled experts was the discovery of strange drawings

Image
One of the underwater mysteries that once puzzled experts was the discovery of strange drawings in the sand with almost perfect circular patterns found on the seabed off Japan. It took them a decade to find out why they originated and why they suddenly appeared and disappeared until they finally managed to discover it. The author of these amazing formations, almost 2 meters wide, was a newly discovered species of puffer fish measuring no more than 12 centimeters. Subsequent studies determined that they were ornate circles to attract mating partners. Males spend six weeks building these "crop circles" underwater just to mate for a few seconds. To make them, he gathers fine sand in mounds and decorates them with seashells he finds. If he is lucky, the willing female will stand in the center of the circle to indicate approval for mating. If not, the ocean current will carry away his work of art. Nature will never cease to fascinate us 🐟💙

the Chippewa Flowage.

Image
Every year, dozens of local boat owners in Wisconsin band together to move a giant floating island on Lake Chippewa, also known as the Chippewa Flowage. This floating island, known as the "Forty Acre Bog," is composed of peat, plant roots, mud, and even mature trees. These trees act as sails, catching the wind and moving the island around the lake. When the bog drifts and blocks a crucial bridge connecting the east and west sides of the lake, it requires a community effort to push it back into position using their boats. The floating bogs formed over time as peat bogs from the lake's swampy bottom rose to the surface, creating a habitat rich in biodiversity. Moving the bog is a complex task that relies on favorable wind conditions, and it often requires multiple attempts to place it correctly, or it will drift back within days. This annual task, while challenging, highlights the community's dedication to preserving the natural environment and maintaining access across...
