World's earliest known fossil trackways discovered in China
Chinese researchers have discovered the world's earliest fossilized animal trackways dating back as far as 551 million years in the area of Three Gorges of Yangtze River in central Hubei Province.
The trackways, characterized by two parallel rows of imprints, were found on a dozen fossils, said Chen Zhe, leader of the research program and a member with the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Chinese Geologists Claim Success in Combustible Ice Mining in South China Sea
Geologists at the China Geological Survey on Thursday announced success in the tentative mining of combustible ice in the South China Sea.
Continuous mining has been conducted in the past week in the South China Sea, making China the first country to achieve continuous and stable gas production in the tentative drive.
Since the successful burning for official gas production on the combustible ice on May 10, we have been operating for eight days with daily output of over 10,000 cubic meters. The maximal daily output reached 35,000 cubic meters. The continuously stable output signals that we have realized our set goals, said Ye Jianliang, commander of the combustible ice mining project at the site and deputy chief engineer with the China Geological Survey.
Combustible ice is a compound of methane and ice crystals of gas and water under low temperature and high pressure, conditions similar to the seabed. It is predicted that the reserve of combustible ice on earth is more than twice that of coal, oil and gas.
Since most combustible ice is buried deep down in the seabed, mining of such clean energy is very challenging. Many countries including Japan and Canada have tried to tap it but are yet to reach their expected goals.
Experts said the Chinese success means the country has mastered the world-class technology in the field.

China Trip: Museum about 1911 Chinese Revolution
This was part of the war memorial for the 1911 Chinese Revolution with Sun Yat-Sen. The figures are statues of important people or events during the war of 1911. It was very dark inside the museum, so I only included video of what actually came out on video well.

Huangshan Mountain Village by MAD
Located near Huangshan Mountains , the site of verdant scenery and limestone cliffs have long inspired artists and offered sheltered spaces for contemplation and reflection. Yet, as an increasingly popular tourist destination – further exposed by its UNESCO Heritage status –it risks to compromise this iconic landscape.
MAD’s design affirms the inherent significance of this landscape. Composed in deference to the local topography, the village provides housing and communal amenities organized in a linked configuration across the southern slope of Taiping Lake. As its form evokes the geology of the region, the village blurs the boundaries between the geometries of architecture and nature. For residents, the apartments will be a quiet retreat - an immersive, natural space.
All apartments have spacious balconies which overlook the lake. Communal amenities and walking paths encourage residents to wander among the buildings. Each floor of each building is unique and accessed from shared social spaces, creating a seamless balance between private and public spaces. Source by MAD. Info project

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Goodbye to the baiji, the Yangtze River dolphin | Natural History Museum
Join Zoological Society of London (ZSL) scientist Dr Sam Turvey in this video to uncover the tragic example of the baiji, the Yangtze River dolphin. This extraordinary species was the only member of an entire mammal family.
In an effort to stop the loss of other such unique animals, ZSL has established the EDGE (Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered) programme, which raises awareness of one-of-a-kind species on the verge of extinction and works towards protecting their future.

Paleontologists: identify new marine creature 507 million years old with similar can opener tongs.
Paleontologists: identify new marine creature 507 million years old with similar can opener tongs.
Paleontologists at the University of Toronto University of Toronto and the Royal Ontario Museum have discovered a new fossil species that shed light on the origin of mandibulates, the most abundant and diverse group of organisms on Earth, to which animals belong Relatives such as flies, ants, crayfish and centipedes. The finding was announced in a study released today in nature.
The creature, called Tokummia katalepsis by researchers, is a new and exceptionally well-preserved fossilized arthropod a ubiquitous group of invertebrate animals with segmented limbs and hardened exoskeletons. Tokummia documents for the first time in detail the anatomy of the first mandibulates, a hyperdiverse subgroup of arthropods that possess a pair of specialized appendages known as jaws, which are used to capture, shred and cut their food. Mandibulates include millions of species and represent one of the greatest evolutionary and ecological successes of life on Earth.
Despite its colossal diversity today, the origin of mandibulates had largely remained a mystery, Cédric Aria, lead author of the study and recent graduate of the doctoral program at the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto, now working As a postdoctoral researcher at the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology in China. So far we have had only scattered clues to what the earliest arthropods with jaws might have looked, and I had no idea what the other key features that triggered the incomparable diversification of that group might have been.
Tokummia lived in a tropical sea full of life and was one of the greater predators of the Cambrian, superior to 10 cm of length completely extended. A swimmer from time to time, researchers conclude their sturdy forepaws made a preferred bottom inhabitant such as lobsters or mantis shrimp today. The samples come from 507 million year old, sedimentary rocks near the Marble Canyon in Kootenay National Park, British Columbia. Samples were collected from most of the base of this study during extensive ROM fieldwork conducted in 2014.
This spectacular new predator, one of the largest and best preserved soft-bodied arthropods in the Marble Canyon, joins the ranks of many unusual marine creatures that lived during the Cambrian explosion, a period of rapid evolutionary change that began About half a billion years ago, when most of the major animal groups first appeared in the fossil record.
