How its Made Wednesday: Speed Skates

I don't skate much but I do like the fun of it whenever I get a chance to. Pretty interesting how it's made.

Eagle Eyes!

Ever wondered how eagle eyes work.

I’m sure we all know that most animals have far enhanced capabilities than humans. With that said what makes eagles eyesight superior than ours. Other than eyes being on the side of our face, it more so has to do with the way they’re shaped. Its not all but here are a few facts.


Their eyes are the same weight size as human eyes, but the back is flatter and larger than the back of our eyes. Therefore this gives an eagle a much larger image compared to us. Also its retina has a much more concentrated rod and cone cells, which sends sight information to the brain.

We have 200,000 cones per millimeter, and eagles have a MILLION cones per millimeter. That's far superior than apples best retina displays, and 5X better than a normal human eye.




This is a basic example of how we receive sight.

How its Made Wednesday: GUITARS!

Do you like instruments? Well how about my all time favorite, acoustic guitars. Check this video out to see how one of the major manufacturers of guitars make their instruments. The process of making one varies a little but this one is well documented and up to date with machining equipment, also beautiful background music.

I personally play a little, just trying to teach myself so I can give praise to the Lord with it. I am literally just a beginner though, like a new born babe kind of beginner. If there is a level before preschool, that's the class I'm in right now. Haha enjoy!

The Sky Covenant, Rainbow!


How its made: Simple, it is caused through a process of reflection and refraction of sunlight in water droplets in the Earth’s atmosphere. This results in a beautiful colorful spectrum of light.

This was my first time seeing a full arched rainbow. It looked way better in person and plus it was actually a double rainbow.



From all the smiles and happy faces I saw around me at the time I wondered if they really knew what this FORESHADOWED  in the future, according to God’s word. Its one of God's great remindful WARNINGS from the old testament of scripture. Genesis ch 9, great book check it out.


Genesis 9: 13, 15

(13)I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth, (15) and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh: and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.

Although God will not flood the earth again by water, but when the appropriate time is fulfilled, GOD WILL DESTROY THE EARTH BY FIRE! Everything seems fine now but a day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men is upon us in these last days. (2 Peter 3:7)

2 Peter 3: 10
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed and its works will be burned up.

The Peacock Mantis Shrimp


Check this little guy out, The Peacock Mantis Shrimp, came across it a little while ago. Besides its attractive colorful beauty, I wouldn't dare go near it! It is said they are known to have one of the fastest and strongest punches in the animal kingdom.
  
Its raptorial appendages strikes with a comparable velocity of a 22 caliber bullet. Take your pick, that's like 23m/s or 75ft/s or 51mph. Not only that, it moves so fast it generates a mini shockwave that creates a vacuum pocket, which essentially boils water, and generates light. Man now that is awesome, what a creature!



Slow Motion!
