Cat-shrubs in English parks. The English surrealist painter Richard Saunders uses thick shrubs and trees to create his enormous cats! Once he saw trees cut in the shape of clouds on a picture and got the idea to turn shrubs into sculptures of cats. The prototype that served him is his cat Tolly, deceased, the Russian Blue.
We can see these cats in many corners of England, and are much appreciated by the population.
One of the most interesting sections in the book of ‘Guinness World Records’ was always the one that held the records for the world’s largest things, such as the world’s tallest man or the largest egg ever laid. However, there are actually a lot of things in our world that are far bigger in reality than most people would expect. Keep scrolling to see the full scale of 20 different things:
1. The immense size of a fully grown wombat.
2. This is a giant leatherback sea turtle.
3. How many Earths would be able to fit inside the Sun?
4. Here’s an average-sized giant African land snail.
5. I had no idea an eagle talon was so enormous!
6. The size of an average blue whale’s heart.
7. The Titanic in a comparison with a modern cruise liner.
8. Quetzalcoatlus Northropi – the largest flying animal to ever live.
9. A pair of fully-inflated horse lungs.
10. This is how big a moose really is.
11. Nice to meet you!
12. Some road signs really are that huge!
13. This saltwater crocodile is a colossus!
14. The view from Earth if our moon was replaced by Saturn.
15. The true size of Michaelangelo’s David.
16. The terrifying size of a gorilla’s hand.
17. Standing beside a single wind turbine blade.
18. Comparing a comet to the city of LA.
19. Here’s a giant oceanic manta ray. Scary!
20. Here’s how big the USA is in comparison with the moon.

Because within this rolling hillside is a perfectly preserved prehistoric village called Skara Brae.
But it also revealed something long forgotten. When the storm abated, villagers discovered a settlement under the sand.
The settlement consists of eight stone houses and was inhabited between roughly 3180 and 2500 B.C., making Skara Brae one of the oldest agriculture villages in the UK
.
Skara Brae has been called the “Scottish Pompeii” because the ancient monument is so well preserved.
Since the surrounding sand and the buildings’ architecture were well protected against the cold, both the buildings and their contents have been remarkably preserved throughout the millennia.
Archaeologists estimate that 50-100 people lived in the village. When the settlement was built, the houses were 1,500 meters from the sea.
Now, the sea has dug closer to the village and the view from the settlement has changed from pastures to the sea.
The settlement’s seven or eight houses were connected to each other by tunnels.
Each residence could be closed off with a stone door.
In every room, one bed was always bigger than the other, but no one knows why.
Each room also contains cabinets, dressers, seats, and storage boxes.
These boxes were built to be waterproof, suggesting that they might have stored live seafood for later consumption.
One house is distinct from the other, however.
Archaeologists didn’t found any beds or other furniture. The house is believed to have functioned as a workshop.
Amazingly, the village also had a sewage system and each house had its own toilet.
Skara Brae was a society which centered around families. The dwellings are all quite similar, which led archaeologists to conclude that this society was a fairly equal one, without any authoritative leadership.
Some believe that the villagers were Picts, a people of unknown origin who settled in eastern and northern Scotland near the end of the British Iron Age.
But archaeological findings have shown that the people who lived here could have lived been much earlier than that.
A number of mysterious discoveries have been made at the site, including this carved stone ball, though no one really knows what it was used for.
And no one knows why the village was abandoned. But around 2500 B.C., the Orkney Islands became cooler and wetter.
Many theories speculate about how the people of Skara Brae met their fate; the most popular ones involve a violent storm.
What’s the future look like for Skara Brae?
Although the settlement was built nearly two kilometres from the beach, in recent centuries, it has been increasingly threatened by the sea.
Since 1926, the houses have been protected from the approaching sea and harsh autumn winds by a concrete wall.
There has been talk about building an artificial beach with boulders and breakwater to preserve Skara Brae and several other ancient monuments at risk of being destroyed.
But nothing has happened yet. Until further notice, tourists continue to visit this fascinating place, but the question is for how long?
I personally hope that the Scottish Government will do all they can to preserve this amazing place.

Stop Putting Your Health In !
Wn we sit in our car and turn on the engine, we often, without thinking, turn on the A/C. Every time we do this, we put our health, and the health of the people around us, in danger.
This occurs because when we leave our car outside, we always close the windows. But even when we leave the car in the shade, it can accumulate 400-800 mg of benzene.
If you park the car in the sun, in a temperature higher than 16 degrees Celsius, the level of benzene can reach 2000-4000 mg, which is 40 times more than the permitted level.
By sitting in a car that had closed windows, people inhale the benzene, not knowing that this toxin affects the kidneys, the liver and the bone tissue. Furthermore, it takes a lot of time and effort for our organisms to eliminate it.
The cars’ manuals state that we should open the car’s windows before turning on the A/C, but they don’t explain why, except that it is good for the performance of the car.
Medical Explanation:
The results of the research show that before it starts to cool the air, the air conditioner ejects all the heated air out, and with it – the benzene, a toxin that causes cancer.
Therefore, when you sit in your car, even if you don’t notice any smell of a heated plastic, open the windows for a few minutes and then turn on the A/C. And when you turn on the car, leave the windows open for a few more minutes.
Continue practicing this habit while you are in your car in order to protect your organism from toxins, because the consequences can be extremely tragic.
Case No. 4, A woman had been troubled for a number of years with skin cancer. She developed different skin cancers which were diagnosed by the acting specialist as advanced. Within 3 months after beginning asparagus therapy, the skin specialist said her skin looked fine with no more skin lesions. This woman reported that the asparagus therapy also cured her kidney disease, which had started in 1949. She had over 10 operations for kidney stones, and was receiving government disability payments for an inoperable, terminal, kidney condition. She attributes the cure of this kidney trouble entirely to the asparagus treatment.

Winter is the coldest season of the year, between autumn and spring. It is caused by the axis of the Earth in the respective hemisphere being oriented away from the Sun. Different cultures define different dates as the start of winter, and some use a definition based on weather. In many regions, winter is associated with snow and freezing temperatures.In winter the days are shortest and the nights are longest, with days lengthening as the season progresses after the solstice.

The Astonishing Annual Red Crab Migration
Each year millions of bright red land crabs leave their burrow homes on Australia’s Christmas Island and start a long, laborious trek toward the sea. They descend cliffs, climb banks and maneuver around obstacles to reach the shoreline and lay their eggs, eventually returning to the island’s central plateau with their offspring in tow. The synchronized migration resembles a crimson-colored river
undulating across the island and can last up to 18 days. The event typically takes place in November or December (the crabs will only
move when it’s raining) and coincides with the turning of high tide and the arrival of the waning moon.
