-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-
Scientists have captured an extraordinary event that happens at the exact moment a human life begins a tiny flash of light known as the “zinc spark.”
This brief shimmer appears the instant a sperm successfully fertilizes an egg, triggered when the egg releases millions of zinc ions in a sudden burst.
Though invisible to the naked eye, specialized microscopes reveal this microscopic flash that marks the start of embryonic development.
First observed in mice and later confirmed in humans, the zinc spark gives researchers a precise visual signal that fertilization has occurred.
It also helps scientists better understand early development and could one day improve IVF success rates by identifying the healthiest eggs in real time.

1987 Lamborghini LM002🇮🇹
Here is one of the two 1967 Toyota 2000GT convertibles that was used in the James Bond film "You Only Live Twice".
The factory-produced Toyota 2000GT convertible was never offered for sale during the car's production run.
This is one of the two custom-made Toyota 2000GT convertibles used in the James Bond film "You Only Live Twice" (1967).
Sean Connery could not fit in the standard hardtop model, so the tops were removed.
They were not convertibles in the purist sense because they did not have retractable or hard tops.

What happens when a love for books turns into a lifelong mission?
For 75-year-old Anke Gowda from Karnataka, India, it meant selling his home, spending decades collecting nearly two million books, and opening them to the public — completely free. His library, Pustaka Mane, stands as a powerful reminder that passion and selflessness can build something far greater than walls.
His quiet commitment shows how one person’s love for knowledge can transform a community. Read the full piece to explore how a single act of devotion became a lifelong legacy for readers across India.

Roman arch bridges are durable, semicircular structures that used wedge-shaped stones and the principle of compression to distribute weight, allowing for the construction of long-lasting and stable bridges and aqueducts.
These engineering marvels, which still stand today, were made with stone and concrete and facilitated Roman expansion by enabling improved transportation and military movement across the empire.
Key features
Semicircular arch: Romans perfected the use of the semicircular arch, which was a significant advancement over earlier bridge designs.
Voussoirs: The arch is constructed from wedge-shaped stones, called voussoirs, which are held in place by compression.
Keystone: A central, wedge-shaped stone called the keystone locks the arch in place once the other voussoirs are positioned.
Construction: To build, Romans used a temporary wooden support structure called falsework or centring to hold the arch in place until it was complete and stable.
Materials: They utilized Roman concrete (opus caementicium) and often faced the exterior with ashlar (precisely cut stone) or brick.
Multi-arch structures: For long bridges and aqueducts, they connected several arches together, with piers (upright columns) supporting the arches.
Notable examples
Pont du Gard: A famous example of a Roman aqueduct that uses a series of arches.
Alcántara Bridge: A well-preserved bridge in Spain that spans the Tagus River and showcases the durability of Roman engineering.
Pons Fabricius: Located in Rome, it is one of the world's oldest major bridges still in its original state.
Ponte Rotto: An early Roman bridge in Rome, originally known as Pons Aemilius.
Ponte Sant'Angelo: A bridge in Rome built over the Tiber River with foundations made using cofferdams.

Happy Antarctica Day!
Sixty-six years ago today, nations came together to sign the Antarctic Treaty, establishing protections for one of the most pristine places on the planet.
“Meaning and morality of One's life come from within oneself. Healthy, strong individuals seek self expansion by experimenting and by living dangerously. Life consists of an infinite number of possibilities and the healthy person explores as many of them as posible. Religions that teach pity, self-contempt, humility, self-restraint and guilt are incorrect. The good life is ever changing, challenging, devoid of regret, intense, creative and risky.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
