Can we all agree to show the ribbon worm some more love? It’s just one of the hundreds of amazing, bizarre, and often-overlooked animals in Ross Piper’s new book, Animal Earth, that he’d like to see get some more attention. They may be tiny or faceless and not too easy on the eyes, but Piper said they deserve our appreciation just as much as popular species like lions, tigers, and apes. “Most of the time, if you're watching things on television, it's just about mammals or other vertebrates. But that's only a tiny fraction of animal diversity. I want to show people that animals are enormously diverse, not just in how they look but how they live,” Piper said in a phone interview.

The deep, frigid waters of Lake Baikal look calm enough, but if locals are to be believed, mysteries abound in this ancient body of water. Aliens, supernatural powers, ancient curses, dragons, even a visit from Jesus – there seems to be no end to the bizarre stories linked to this freshwater lake in southern Siberia. Yet even without the strange tales, this would be a fascinating place – one of incredible beauty and with enough ecological value to make it a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is the largest and oldest lake on Earth, not to mention one of the most biologically unique.

Image Source Medical dramas have often proved a hit for television networks. Medical dramas have often proved a hit for television networks. However, when it comes to portrayals of nurses, not every program seems to consider authenticity and responsibility on an equal footing with the requirement for drama or entertainment. A positive yet realistic depiction of nurses on TV is something that professionals want to highlight, and the Truth About Nursing website has provided annual lists of the best and worst media representations of nurses from around the world. Still, television has produced some incredible nursing role models – characters who have gone down in the medium’s history. Read on for ten TV nurses whom we’d love to work with.

Ward Charcoal Ovens are a collection of six 30 feet high, beehive-shaped charcoal ovens located inside the Ward Charcoal Ovens State Historic Park in the Egan Mountain Range approximately 18 miles south of Ely in Nevada, in the United States of America. Between 1876 and 1879, the Charcoal Ovens were built to produce charcoal from pinyon pine and juniper. After their function as charcoal ovens ended, they served diverse purposes, such as sheltering stockmen and prospectors during foul weather and even serving as a hideout for stagecoach bandits. Today they're the main attraction in Ward Charcoal Ovens State Historic Park.
