The deep emerald water lake emerges amidst a beautifully surreal, untouched landscape. Known as The Eye of the Earth, or the Cetina Lake, it is a magnificent natural wonder gifted to Croatia by Mother Nature. This unique body of water is actually the source of the Cetina River, beginning from a spring in Milasevo near a small village called Cetina, 7km north of Vrlika, and is the richest watercourse in Dalmatia, flowing at the foot of Dinara, the highest mountain in Croatia. The river flows out of a deep cave approximately 115 meters deep and 15 meters in diameter. The…

After a dog fell down a deep hole, she swam in circles for hours, anxiously hoping for help. She eventually grew so fatigued and weak that she couldn’t swim any more, and that’s when she was discovered. A local eventually discovered the unfortunate dog anxiously hanging to the well’s side and phoned Animal Aid Unlimited, hoping for assistance. The rescue team went out to find her, but when they arrived, it appeared like the poor dog had given up hope. She appeared disheartened, leaning against the well’s wall, until she heard a noise above and lifted her head. When she…

D’Angelo Russell’s second stint with the Los Angeles Lakers has gone well so far and he played his part in their remarkable turnaround in this campaign. He’ll be a free agent in the summer though and NBA insider Eric Pincus believes Russell will re-sign with the Lakers. “L.A. may not offer as much as he’s currently earning ($31.4 million in the final year of his deal),” Pincus wrote. “But Russell could earn a similar deal to Jalen Brunson’s $26 million-per-year contract.””The Lakers will have to mind the rest of their roster to avoid significant tax penalties with the new rules, but…

After having three children, a mother yearned for a larger family, and after six heartbreaking losses, her prayers were eventually granted when she gave birth to quadruplets. When their four youngest children were little, childhood friends April, 42, and Phil Gardner, who now spend $400 per week on food, were teenagers. They also slept for only 45 minutes at night. Rilee, their firstborn, is now 24 years old. Whitlee, 18, Jaxton, 7, and the quadruplets Ryker, Tallon, Bowen, and Berklee, who are now 4 years old, were their cubs before they grew. April, who has polycystic ovarian disease and endometriosis,…

In the aftermath of a massively disappointing playoff run, Giannis Antetokounmpo did his best to downplay the loss and take whatever positives he could from an unexpected season. But amid the first-round defeat, and the firing of head coach Mike Budenholzer, there have been major questions about the future of the Bucks and how long they can prevent everything from falling apart. The whole situation bears some attention, and at least one notable team will be monitoring the situation to see if things turn sour. “Is Giannis gonna extend? I don’t know, and that uncertainty is what the league is…

When I first started growing houseplants, I had what you might call a “black thumb.” I was terrible with them – or at least that’s what I thought. The truth is I was just inexperienced, and I started with plants that were too difficult for a beginner (except for my beloved pothos). After two decades of learning from my own mistakes, I’ve finally figured out what it takes to grow all sorts of plants indoors. And in this post, I’m sharing the 19 best houseplants for black thumbs.

During pregnancy, there are various risks that can affect the health of the baby and the mother. For this reason, moms-to-be should take greater care of their bodies.

Ashley Crandell, 36, and her husband, Lance, 41, were surprised when efforts to fall pregnant didn’t go as planned. They had conceived a little girl named Isla without much effort and expected a similar journey for their second attempt. It was seven days before Ashley Crandell could hold all four of her quadruplets, who were born 9 weeks early. But the wait felt much longer than that. They have been struggling with secondary infertility for almost 4 years, after being pregnant with their first child, Isla, now 5 years old. I was quite unhappy at one time when I believed…

A pregnant woman in California who has a very noticeable pregnant belly has garnered a lot of attention. Brooke Luney, who is expecting her sixth kid, said she has “carried hard” throughout her entire life. It is particularly impressive, according to Brooke, 32, who is 4 feet 11 [150 cm] tall and has a small physique. “Strangers would stop me in a store and ask if I was pregnant with triplets,” she recalled. One woman said her unborn child was residing in a “loft with WiFi” inside of her. The mother, 32, claims that she has always “carried very big”…

The smaller, brighter, hotter star (left), which is 32 times the mass of our Sun, is currently losing mass to its bigger companion (right), which has 55 times the mass of our Sun.

Penumbral lunar eclipses slightly darken the Moon. Credit: H. Raab/Wikipedia Commons, CC BY-SA On May 5, 2023, people around the world will witness a lunar eclipse when the Earth gets between the Sun and the Moon and casts part of its shadow on the Moon. The eclipse will be visible in Africa, Asia, Australia and large portions of Europe, though not in the U.S. this time around. This eclipse is not what some call a “blood moon,” as it will not turn red. Instead, the Moon will dim slightly as it passes through a lighter part of the Earth’s shadow – called the penumbra.…

This artist’s impression shows a doomed planet skimming the surface of its star. Astronomers used a combination of telescopes to spot the first direct evidence of an aging, bloated sun-like star, like the one pictured here, engulfing its planet. These telescopes included the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory, the W.M. Keck Observatory, and NASA’s NEOWISE mission. Credit: Image: K. Miller/R. Hurt (Caltech/IPAC) Earth will meet a similar fate in 5 billion years. As a star runs out of fuel, it will billow out to a million times its original size, engulfing any matter — and planets —…

The Golden State Warriors can never forget the 3-1 lead they blew in the 2016 NBA Finals vs. LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. After that, the Warriors added Kevin Durant to the roster and won consecutive NBA Championships in 2017 and 2018. Fast forward to the 2023 NBA playoffs following the Warriors’ Game 2 win, it is the first time that Curry has defeated James without Durant in 2,518 days. When Kevin Durant was a part of the Warriors, it seemed like an impossible job to stop them. In the 2017 NBA Finals, the Warriors won 4-1. And in…
