Modern technology has given scientists some incredible tools to study the universe and

share their knowledge.

With photography, for instance, we've been able to collect images of everything from

microbes to galaxies.

But before we had cameras, we had scientific illustration.

And throughout the years, hundreds of science illustrators have made 2D and 3D representations

of concepts in lots of fields, from biology to physics.

You might recognize some big names, like Leonardo Da Vinci's anatomical sketches and James

Audubon's bird paintings.

But there are a lot of people you've probably never heard of, even though their work has

had a huge impact on our understanding of the natural world.

The 1500s were a pretty horrible time to get sick.

Medicine was kind of a mess.

At the time, doctors believed that we were all made of four elements called humors: black

bile, yellow bile, blood, and phlegm.

Supposedly, when these humors were "imbalanced," we got sick.

Most of what we knew about human anatomy was from the work of Galen, a renowned Greek philosopher

and physician.

But Greek and Roman societies prohibited dissection of the human body.

So Galen's knowledge mostly came from dissecting pigs and monkeys, and using their anatomy

to guess at the structures inside our bodies, from the muscles to the circulatory system.

It wasn't until Andreas Vesalius came along that we actually took a good look inside human bodies

Vesalius taught medicine and surgery in Italy.

And instead of just reading from Galen's texts, he dissected cadavers for his students,

usually the corpses of executed felons.

Through those hands-on studies, he discovered just how wrong Galen's teachings were, and

clarified topics ranging from how the circulatory system and nerves worked to bone structure.

For example, Galen believed that the human jaw was made of two bones connected in the

middle, from his dissections of dogs.

But Vesalius discovered that it's just one solid bone.

After years of research, Vesalius published a set of seven books called De humani corporis

fabrica in 1543, which was likely the first complete representation of the human body

in the Western world.

Working closely with other artists, Vesalius included over 200 illustrations, from detailed

skeletons to networks of blood vessels.

As a kinda creepy cherry-on-top, at least one of his books was bound in human skin!

Lots of people consider Vesalius to be the father of modern anatomy.

At the very least, his work changed our understanding of the human body, and helped usher Europe

into a new, better-informed era of medicine.

Born into a family of German artists and publishers in 1647, Maria Sibylla Merian started illustrating

young, painting decorative flowers alongside her stepfather's male students.

At the same time, though, she found herself captivated by insects, especially the life

cycle of the silkworm.

So Merian started to collect caterpillars, studying and painting their lifecycle as they

metamorphosed into moths and butterflies – along with the plants they ate.

In fact, Merian was the first science illustrator to record the relationships between insects

and the plants they lived on, which is critical for understanding food chains, as ecologists

realized later on.

Plus, she proved that caterpillars hatch from eggs, instead of a common belief that insects

randomly appeared from rotting plants and meats.

The idea of spontaneous generation dates back to our old friend Aristotle.

He never observed insects laying eggs, so he figured larvae just appeared from random

places, from old wax to books to horse carcasses.

(exasperated) Aristotle

Later in life, Merian spent two years traveling with one of her daughters in the Dutch colony

of Suriname.

Her written accounts were some of the earliest descriptions of the climate, the jungle wildlife,

and society in the colony.

And in 1705, she published a book called Insects of Suriname, earning her an international

reputation as an illustrator.

Even today, naturalists use her work as they study and classify insects.

It's easy to find science illustrators who studied biology, observing plants, animals,

and the human body to understand our universe.

But Moses Harris was also fascinated by light and color.

Harris was a skilled artist and entomologist, and spent some time studying insects.

In fact, he even published a book called The Aurelian in 1766, filled with illustrations

of moths and butterflies.

When he wasn't sketching bugs, though, Harris was studying Sir Isaac Newton's relatively

new theories on light.

Newton's work with light and prisms showed that white light could be split into three

primary colors: red, blue, and green.

See, light is additive.

So cells in your eyes detect different amounts of different colors of light, and blur them

together to perceive new colors, even a bright white.

That's how you're able to watch this video in color!

Right this very second, the pixels on your screen are emitting different combinations

of red, green, and blue light.

Harris expanded on color theory to play around with pigments, and demonstrated that yellow,

red, and blue are the three primary pigment colors.

He also showed that pigments are subtractive color.

Basically, they take advantage of how surfaces absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light.

A white surface, for instance, reflects all colors of light, while a red surface reflects

red wavelengths, and absorbs the rest.

After his experimentation, Harris created an incredible color wheel.

Still used by artists today, it shows how mixing any two of the primary pigment colors

together generates the secondary colors – orange, purple, and green.

While all three together makes black.

Helena and Harriet Scott were born in Sydney in the 1830s, when Australia was still a pretty

rough place to be, and women weren't allowed to study science at university.

Luckily, the girls' early interest in nature was encouraged by their parents.

And when they were teenagers, their family moved to Ash Island, where their dad studied

moths and butterflies.

The sisters helped their father with his research, cataloging specimens, raising caterpillars

to observe their behavior and food preferences, and eventually painting the insects.

Like Maria Sibylla Merian, the Scott sisters depicted the full life cycle of the caterpillars

and butterflies they studied.

They even included landscape backgrounds of areas in and around Sydney in many of their paintings.

Their dad's book, Australian Lepidoptera and their Transformations, was published in 1864.

And it was so renowned that the sisters were awarded honorary membership in the Entomological

Society of New South Wales, and were commissioned to paint for many of the science publications

in Sydney.

Their skilled work helped document Australian natural history throughout the 19th century,

and they were possibly the first female science illustrators in Australia.

Drawings and paintings can be an awesome way to communicate research, but sometimes a 2D

illustration just won't cut it.

So some scientific artists branched out into 3D work.

Born in 1822, Leopold Blaschka came from a long line of celebrated glass workers.

His day job was creating trinkets and glass eyes for the family business, and training

his son Rudolf as his apprentice.

In his spare time, he studied plants and flowers, and made delicate glass models which were

displayed in museums and botanical gardens around Europe.

During an ocean voyage to the United States, he became fascinated with ocean invertebrates,

admiring their glass-like colors and shapes.

And in 1863, Blaschka was commissioned by the director of the natural history museum

of Dresden to create glass models of sea anemones.

From then on, Blaschka and his son turned all their time and energy to making scientific models.

And their work was groundbreaking, artistically and scientifically.

While vertebrates like mammals and birds could be taxidermied to resemble living animals,

invertebrates could only be preserved in jars.

That kinda worked, but these squishy creatures eventually lost their color and became shapeless blobs.

Working first from drawings and later from live specimens kept in saltwater tanks, Blaschka

and his son built hundreds of accurate, ethereal glass models of invertebrate sea creatures.

Because glass doesn't need water to survive, these models could be displayed in museums

and universities all over the place.

Now, perhaps the most famous collection of their work is the Glass Flowers in the Harvard

Museum of Natural History.

Over 4,000 models of over 800 species of plants are on display, from entire stalks to magnified

pollen grains.

And glass flowers are always in bloom!

You've probably heard of Peter Rabbit – the cute little bunny in a blue coat who stole

carrots from the garden.

But long before Beatrix Potter became famous for her stories, she was a wildlife illustrator.

As the daughter of a wealthy family, Potter was privately educated, and her scientific

interests covered pretty much every field except astronomy.

She collected and studied fossils, insects, and even archeological artifacts before finding

her true passion: fungi.

The naturalist Charles McIntosh sent her specimens and taught her how to use a microscope, and

her scientific skills grew.

She was fascinated by fungal reproduction, drawing and painting over 350 illustrations

of fungi, down to the details like the gills of mushrooms and their tiny spores.

Potter successfully germinated mushroom spores in her home.

She mounted them on glass slides and tracked their growth, trying to understand how different

environments influenced their development.

Believing that she was breaking new ground in fungi research, she even wrote a paper

called On the Germination of the Spores of the Agaricineae in 1897.

Whether or not she really contributed to advancing the field, her illustrations withstand the

test of time.

Born in Spain in 1852, Santiago Ramón y Cajal dreamed of being an artist.

But, like overbearing parents everywhere, his father pushed him to study medicine instead.

He studied anatomy and pathology, and wrote books and articles about using microscopes

to examine tissue samples.

But he was struck with passion in 1887, when he learned about a neuroscience lab technique

called the Golgi method.

Even today, we don't know exactly how the technique works.

But Golgi staining uses potassium dichromate and silver nitrate to fill random neurons

with a dark blackish-brown color.

And it leaves the tissue around them completely transparent.

With this technique, Cajal was able to study individual neurons, which are normally too

dense to see under a microscope.

Here, he found his calling: illustrating and describing the structure of brain cells.

He made major contributions to the field of neuroanatomy, and helped figure out the basic

structure of the brain – a subject of major scientific debate at the time.

His sketches proved that neurons aren't just one long, continuous strand.

Instead, he showed the brain was made up of lots of individual, branched cells connecting

and communicating with one another.

And he discovered microscopic structures that scientists still study today: like the axonal

growth cone, the structure neurons use to guide their growth, and dendritic spines,

the little bumps on neurons where they form connections with other cells.

Along with the scientist Camillo Golgi, who created the technique, Cajal was awarded the

Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906 for his contributions to the field of neuroanatomy.

Many consider him to be the father of modern neuroscience.

And neuroscientists today still discuss his drawings of different cells and theories about

how they connect and communicate.

Without all these science illustrators, we wouldn't have the detailed records and models

of the natural world that we do today.

So no matter how separately they may be taught, science and art are complementary tools to

explore and talk about our universe!

5 SUPPOSEDLY Cursed Images With CREEPY BACKSTORIES - Duration: 10:03.

5 Most Cursed Images Found on the Internet Based on beliefs or not, paranormal has been

a big part of just about every culture in the world.

A good number of us have heard stories about cursed objects like houses and dolls.

Today we look at 5 cursed images found on the internet.

What would you do if you realized your highly prized painting is possessed?

5.

Anguished Man The eerie oil painting known as the Anguished

Man was painted by an unknown artist and is said to cause paranormal activities.

It is rumored that the artist mixed his own blood into the

paint and committed suicide shortly after completing the painting.

In 2010, a resident in Colombia, England, Sean Robinson reported strange activities

in his home that he blamed on the oil painting and set

up a camera to share the incidents on his YouTube

channel.

The first video that comes with the main story was uploaded in December 2011.

According to his story, when he was just a young boy, he saw the odd-looking oil painting

in his grandmother's home and was drawn to it by

a mysterious force.

He was always told by his grandmother that the painting felt sinister

or troubling.

She claimed to hear voices and a crying whenever the painting was displayed and would

see a shadowy figure of a man which is why she locked it away in the attic, where it

stayed for 25 years before Sean inherited it.

As soon as Sean took the painting in his home and put it on his wall the paranormal activities

started.

Sean along with his wife reported they experienced strange noises and visuals like

screams coming from nowhere, nightmares and doors cracking in the middle of the night.

At one point Sean's son was pushed down the

stairs, and his wife felt something stroking her hair.

They also reported seeing the shadow man.

Sean decided to set a camera overnight to try and capture some of the creepy events

on tape.

His video on YouTube shows slamming doors, rising smoke, and the painting falling off

the wall for no reason.

Frightened by the events, he soon put the painting in his basement where it was

again stored for a long time.

According to a recent email Sean sent to Dread Central he said the painting is locked away

in a secure location and is not for sale.

He added all other paintings appear for sale online which

claim to be The Anguished Man are frauds and no one should buy them.

According to Sean, the painting is dangerous and it would not be

wise for anyone to lay their hands on it.

Several paranormal TV series and investigation teams have studied the mysterious painting

and it has been mentioned as one of the Top5 haunted

items in the world.

4.

The Curse of the Crying Boy Painting.

A mysterious series of house fires were brought to the attention of the general public from

around 1985 onwards, following the discoveries, that in each of these cases, the buildings

and all their contents were completely destroyed

apart from a painting – The Crying Boy, which

remained undamaged.

40-50 such cases were recorded in the years that followed.

It became known as the 'Curse of the Crying Boy'.

These unexplained occurrences even made headline news at one point in the British newspaper

'The Sun'.

The painting itself is a mass produced painting by academically trained Italian painter Giovanni

Bragolin, also known as Bruno Amadio.

The painting was widely distributed from 1950 onwards,

all featured a boy who stared straight out of the picture with tears welling in their

eyes and rolling down their cheeks.

There are several stories behind the legend of the painting, but one that stands out,

if not for the story alone reads as follows.

Bragolin met a young boy after he fled to Spain soon after the

end of WWII.

The boy was a mute orphan who had seen his parents perish in a house fire

during the war.

He adopted the boy even after being warned off of doing so by a local priest, the boy,

Locally known as the devil child, was the center of

many mysterious fires that broke out wherever he

went.

Bragolin refused to believe such stories and the new family lived easy with the paintings

selling well.

Unfortunately one day, Bragolin found his house and studio burnt to the ground.

He blamed Don for the incident following the priest's

warning and kicked him out of the family.

The orphan boy was never heard of again until years later,

and surrounding another bizarre event, where a

car smashed into a wall and burst into flames.

The driver was horrifically burnt to death.

Among the burnt items was an untouched driver's

license, the name on it was Don Bonillo.

It is said all Bragolin's paintings of crying boys were cursed by Don Monillo's memory.

However, facts about this story are not fully confirmed.

Bragolin died in 1981, gone with the truth of this

story.

3.

The Portrait of Bernardo De Galvez Born in 1946, Bernardo De Galvez was a powerful

Spanish military leader who aided the American Colonies during the Revolutionary

war.

The city of Galveston opened an amazing hotel and named it after him in the early

1900s.

Naming the hotel after Bernardo De Galvez would be meaningless if a huge portrait of

him wasn't put on display within the hotel.

And this is where the mystery begins.

Ever since the hotel was opened, guests would complain about this portrait.

You can find the magnificent portrait of Bernardo De Galvez

at the end of the downstairs hallway.

The guest would say when walking past the painting,

the eyes won't stop following them, making them a

little creeped out.

Over the years the hotel and the painting started to get a reputation.

Since the hotel is built in honor of the great Bernardo

De Galvez, the painting would not be removed.

The unexplained occurrences only continued.

Some people came to think that it was the hotel

playing tricks on them.

There are reports of people feeling very cold and uneasy if standing too

close to the painting for a period of time.

Eventually people started to realize that when you

take a picture of the painting it is always out of focus, or some mystique mists get on

the way.

A paranormal investigation team snapped a picture of the infamous portrait, but the

picture was marred with a skeleton image.

Perhaps they forgot to ask the long dead Bernardo De

Galvez permission to take a picture?

Apparently a guest at the hotel at one point discovered

that one had to ask Bernardo De Galvez politely to take a picture of the portrait for them

to be perfectly clear.

The portrait is indeed a fascinating mystery.

2.

Juan Luna's Portrait Juan Luna's portrait of his wife Paz Pardo

de Tevera is a picture of Paz before bedtime; the

woman in bed, clutching a rosary and there's a prayer book and a night stand to her left.

So how can a picture that embodied a husband's

love end up being a bearer of 'evil'?

And how did it happen that the love and bliss in the marriage

bed quickly turned into tragedy, with the painter, Juan Luna shooting his wife in their

home on September 23, 1892, some two years after the painting was made?

The painting an undated work in oil now known as Portrait of a lady is said to carry a powerful

spell.

It is believed that those who have come to own it over the years have met terrible

misfortunes, from unexplained sickness to bad business to downright death.

Historian Ambeth Ocampo wrote in his book Looking Back that its first owner, Manuel

Garcia, was forced to sell it because his business

had gone bad.

It was then bought by Betty Bantug Betinez who met a tragic road accident in

Tagaytay.

The portrait then passed through the collection of Tony Nzareno, who also suffered

sudden illness so he sold it to Imelda Marcos, who suffered a miscarriage.

In the Luna-Hidalgo exhibition catalog published by the

Metropolitan Museum, Imelda donated the painting to the National Museum of the Philippines.

The curse is said to have been caused by Juan killing his wife over allegations of cheating.

Paz suffered a miscarriage and later their second

child died.

Juan's paintings weren't able to support the family quite okay.

Their child's death led to a household fraught and tension.

Paz took a vacation as was advised by her doctor but when she returned Juan believed

his wife was cheating.

Paz denied all the allegations, terrified of her husband's

rage expressed that she wanted a divorce.

Convinced his son and wife would be taken away from him,

he shot his wife on September 23, 1892.

1 Man Proposes, God Disposes Man Proposes God Disposes is a painting by

Edween Landseer, an English painter; a certainly unsettling art.

It depicts two polar bears attacking one of ships at sea as well as the human

remains of the crew embarked on failed expedition, led by John Franklin, to find the NorthWest

passage.

The picture hangs in the picture gallery of Royal Holloway College at the University of

London.

The room is frequently used for exams and whenever an exam is held, the picture is covered

by a Union Jack flag.

Not because of any fears of cheating during history exams but because the

students believe that the painting will drive them mad and cause them to fail.

This fear of the painting goes a long way in the history of the college.

It is rumored that when the college first opened as a female constitution,

a student taking an exam was distressed by the painting that she killed herself while

still sitting at her desk.

Marine Le Pen Promises Putin to Recognize Crimea as a Part of Russia - Duration: 4:03.

The fight against terrorism can be effective only with joint effort.

That's what Vladimir Putin announced today at the meeting with Marine Le Pen.

She's one of the most popular presidential candidates in France.

For many years now, Le Pen stands for cooperation with Moscow,

revoking the sanctions and recognizing Crimea as a part of Russia.

In addition to all these differences from other French candidates,

Le Pen demonstrated another one during her visit to Moscow-political courage.

Alexey Petrov reports.

This footage will now be discussed all over France. Marine Le Pen is welcomed in Kremlin by Putin.

According to the President, this doesn't mean that Russia is trying to influence the French voters.

However, Moscow doesn't intend to stop communicating with the politicians of the Fifth Republic.

We highly value our relationship with France.

We try to be on equally good terms with the incumbent authorities and the opposition.

Of course we're aware of the ongoing election campaign.

We, in no way, plan to influence this situation.

But we do reserve the right to communicate with all the country's political authorities.

Just like our partners in Europe and the USA do.

I've always wanted Russia and France to renew their cultural, economic and strategic relationships.

It's especially important now, with a serious terrorist threat hanging over us.

A wave of terrorist attacks in Europe and the attack of Russian Troops in the Chechen Republic

show the importance of not just talks, but an actual fight against terrorism.

After the tragic events in London, today something horrible happened in Russia too.

It happened in North Caucasus, in Chechnya.

One of the divisions of our Federal Guard Troops was attacked.

We all live in this constant danger.

We must realize just how great this danger is and unite against it.

Before her meeting with Putin Le Pen went to see the treasures of Kremlin.

These rare moments, when this National Front leader is not a politician, but just a tourist.

Nowadays, Russian antiquity is exhibited right next to French Gothicism.

This is a unique exhibition, the showpieces come from the largest French collections.

So beautiful.

Masterpieces from the Louvre, the National Library, national French archives all in the heart of Russia.

They are like reminders of just how close the cultures of the two countries are

and how important it is to value historical ties and to hear each other.

The Russian Parliament that invited Le Pen to Moscow is prepared for such dialogue.

Operators and photographers are already prepared.

Not just her words, but even her arrival to Moscow is already an international political event.

The words of the National Front leader have always annoyed the European officials

and it looks like these words won't be an exception.

She has a very tight schedule.

Here Marine Le Pen is going to the meeting of the international Affairs Committee.

And then there's a meeting with the lower house's speaker.

I've always been against sanctions, which I see as counter-productive.

I hope France can, I can insist on eliminating the blacklists, at least in France.

Russia and France are old partners, moreover, we have ancient roots that connect us.

And of course it's very important to us to see the relationship evolve.

The topic of the relationship with Russia

is the most discussed during the election campaign in France.

François Fillon has been repeatedly accused of too-warm of a relationship with Moscow.

Emmanuel Macron played the anti-Russia card.

During the debates the ex-socialist said it's not a good idea to get close to Russia.

In light of these events, Le Pen goes to Moscow, as if openly defying her opponent.

She once again proves to her allies and opponents -

a special relationship with Russia is not a PR move, it's a long-term strategy dictated by history.

Aleksey Petrov, Ekaterina Galkina, Sergey Dovgal, Viktor Mamayev, Aleksander Terekhov, <i>Vesti</i>.

7 CRAZIEST Coincidences That Shouldn't Have Happened: Unknown Facts of Unsolved Chaos - Duration: 12:29.

You know that feeling when you're thinking about someone and at that very moment they

call you on the phone?

Doesn't that just freak you the heck out?

Well imagine how some of the folks on this list must have felt, when two separate twins

discovered they'd lead almost identical lives, when a lottery winner had a second stroke

of luck live on TV, and when a famous actor was involved in a twist so bizarre even M

Night Shyamalan would turn it down.

This is our list of seven coincidences that shouldn't have happened.

Number 7: Jennifer Bricker It's fair to say that Jennifer Bricker's life

didn't start out how she would have hoped, considering that she was born without legs,

with her heart on the wrong side of her body, and she was then put up for adoption by her

parents.

She basically had two options right there; turn this into a superhero origin story, or

one of heart-warming drive and determination.

She chose the latter.

The infant Jennifer was adopted by the Bricker family to whom she owes her legal name, and

despite her disability she developed a love for gymnastics.

This passion was cemented after nine-year-old Jennifer watched American Gymnast Dominique

Moceanu win gold for the US at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and Bricker came to idolise Moceanu

after her adoptive parents informed her that she shared her Romanian heritage.

Bricker then embarked on her own gymnastic career, becoming the first handicapped high-school

tumbling champion in the state of Illinois, and she has since gone on to perform live

as part of Britney Spears' circus tour.

But the most incredible part of her story came in 2008, when Bricker's adoptive parents

found her old adoption papers.

It turns out she shares a lot more than mere heritage with her hero, because Bricker's

birth surname was Moceanu, and the Olympic gymnast she had idolised her whole life, was

actually her sister.

What a sweet story, kinda weird to have posters of your own sibling on your wall though.

I should probably take mine down.

Number 6: Dumb or Dumb Luck http://www.didntyouhear.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/lewistontribune.jpg

I can't decide whether this next story is a genuine coincidence or if the guy involved

is the stupidest criminal ever.

What do you think?

In 2007 Michael Millhouse - a sign painter - had his photograph taken for the front page

of the Lewiston Tribune, as part of a puff-piece covering how local shop fronts were being

decorated in time for Christmas.

Mr Millhouse knew he was having his picture taken, and he knew it would appear on the

front page of the local newspaper the following day.

However, what he didn't know is that he'd actually appear on the front page twice, having

been caught on CCTV the previous day while stealing someone's wallet.

After readers noticed the striking similarities between the two men, Mr Millhouse was interviewed,

arrested and convicted for the theft.

Now I'm going to ignore the obvious jokes about things not coming up Millhouse to instead

ask a series of questions that this story provokes.

First, how did the newspaper staff not notice this?

Second, did Mr Millhouse realise this might happen while he was having his picture taken?

And third, who wears the exact same outfit for two straight days, the lazy schlub.

Number 5: The Jim Twins If you thought the story of Jennifer Bricker

was weird then just wait until you hear the remarkable tale of the Jim twins, whose lives

are not so much coincidental, more an exact carbon copy.

Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were separated at birth and adopted by families who both

gave them the name James.

The two boys grew up knowing of each other's existence for 39 years, but without ever meeting.

And in that time they lived out eerily similar lives.

Both lived in Ohio with a childhood dog called Toy, grew up to marry women called Linda,

and then divorced their respective Linda's to marry someone called Betty.

The Jims, who lived in the only house on their block, knocked up the two Bettys who both

gave birth to two sons, each called James Allan; albeit one of them having an extra

L in his name.

But we'll forgive that little detail for now and move on to the fact that the two Jims

then developed a chain-smoking habit, drank a lot of beer, had a woodworking shop in their

garages, were skilled carpenters, drove Chevys and served briefly as Sheriffs in their respective

counties.

When the two men finally sought each other out in 1977 after nearly four decades of separation,

I imagine they drank a lot more beer and increased their chain-smoking habit tenfold.

The case of the twin Jims was so astonishing that it's been studied to help us learn more

about the relationship between nature and nurture, but I can't help but wonder if they've

spent the later years of their life deliberately doing things differently.

You know, to prove a point, only to find out the other Jim had been doing the exact same

thing.

Number 4: Laura Buxton https://youtu.be/A_j3bVYwAp4

That last story was pretty bizarre, but surely this kind of thing only happens once every

bazillion years or so, doesn't it?

Nope, otherwise we'd only have six entries on this list.

Here's another coincidental meeting story, this time involving a 10-year-old girl called

Laura Buxton.

In 2001, Laura, who was at a wedding in Staffordshire, England, let off a balloon into the sky with

her name and address on it, along with the message "Please return to Laura Buxton".

Thankfully pedophiles are notoriously land-based creatures, so this story does have a happy

ending, but it's also quite a bizarre one.

The balloon was discovered in a hedge by a man called Andy Rivers in Milton Libourne,

140 miles away from where Laura Buxton was from.

Mr Rivers lived next door to another Laura Buxton, so he gave her the balloon, and the

two girls got in touch.

When they did they discovered that their parents married the same year, and each Laura was

their parents' only child.

They two girls also liked swimming, wore their brown hair in the same style, had the same

eye colour and height, were in the same year at school, and had a black Labrador retriever,

a grey pet rabbit and a guinea pig as pets.

Eventually the two girls met up, and when they did they coincidentally wore the same

outfit of a pink sweater and jeans.

They also brought along their pet guinea pigs, and even these furry fellas looked the same

thanks to their astonishingly similar orange butt-markings.

When the two girls went in for a hug the universe briefly contemplated whether or not to implode,

but it didn't, with Laura Buxton and Laura Buxton remaining in contact to this day.

Number 3: The Girl From Petrovka In 1973, 18 years before he developed a taste

for human flesh, actor Anthony Hopkins signed a contract to start in a film based on a book

called The Girl From Petrovka by George Feifer.

Hopkins decided to read the book beforehand for a little research, but he struggled to

find a copy despite searching several bookshops for several days.

Then, during a trip to London, he fortuitously found a copy on a bench outside Leicester

Square tube station.

Well isn't that a lovely coincidence, and that was the end of that story.

Oh, until two years later, when Hopkins brought the book to the set of the movie on the day

its author George Feifer was making a visit.

Feifer complained that he had lost his last copy of his own book after making notes in

it and lending to a friend, a friend who had themselves lost it in London.

Was it the same book Anthony Hopkins had found?

You're darn right it was.

Number 2: Alive, Live and Lucky 37-year-old Australian man Bill Morgan had

a pretty topsy-turvy year back in 1999.

First he was involved in a nasty truck crash, and then he developed a condition resulting

from the accident that required him to take medication.

It turns out Bill was allergic to this medication, and eventually his heart stopped, making him

clinically dead for 14 minutes.

After a 12-day coma Bill miraculously emerged from this life-threatening situation with

no ill-effects, and he decided that from now on, luck was going to be on his side.

Bill proposed to his girlfriend, she said yes.

Bill pursued a new career, and found a new job.

And then Bill bought a scratch lottery ticket, which won him a car worth twenty-five thousand

dollars.

But the weird coincidence came when Bill's incredible story attracted the attention of

the local Melbourne news.

Reporters asked Mr Morgan to meet them at the store and then purchase another lottery

ticket to re-enact the scene, you know, in case the viewers at home might find it difficult

to imagine what buying a lottery ticket might look like.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6R5MqxcKdV8&feature=youtu.be So Bill obliged; he bought another lottery

ticket, another winning lottery ticket, only this time his prize was the $250,000 jackpot,

which he'd won live on Australian Television.

Nice work ya dingo.

Number 1: The Random Troll In June 2007 the wrestler Chris Benoit murdered

his wife and seven-year-old son, before taking his own life using a weights machine.

This situation was already tragic enough, but while investigating the case it was made

so much worse by some bizarrely prophetic comments left on Chris Benoit's Wikipedia

page.

14 hours before the bodies of Benoit and his family were discovered by police, a man with

no connection to Benoit and no knowledge of his actions posted the following comments

on the wrestler's Wiki.

"Chris Benoit was replaced by Johnny Nitro for the ECW World Championship match at Vengeance,

as Benoit was not there due to personal issues, stemming from the death of his wife Nancy."

The cops traced this comment and thoroughly analysed the man's computer, while also checking

out his recent movements and alibis around the approximate time of death.

But there was no connection; this was merely an act of highly coincidental trolling, with

the police describing the man's actions as an "unbelievable hindrance" in their attempts

to investigate this horrible crime.

Oh, and the username of this particular troll?

Skankhunt42.

Naa just kidding, can you imagine though?

So that's our list, and these coincidences make me wonder if humans really are in control

of their lives, or if things are already pre-determined.

If this question intrigues you too, then take a look at our recent video on the four reasons

why free will doesn't exist.

3 Tips: HOW TO BRAINSTORM ► Brainstorming Techniques | Brainstorming Exercises ★ How to Brainstorm! - Duration: 2:51.

What's up guys this is KreativeVein and today will be a shorter video on how to brainstorm.

I do this at least once a day, especially when I'm in class and I look like I'm

taking notes even though I'm really brainstorming for YouTube and business.

So before I get into these 3 tips, be sure to smash that subscribe button and a big shoutout

to MeatForThought, I'll talk about him more at the end of the video.

The first tip I have is to never reject ideas when brainstorming.

Even outlandish things that you think of should be written down, not that you'll necessarily

use it but when you have a flow of ideas coming out onto a piece of paper, that dumb bullet

point can actually spark a practical business idea.

The main point is to have quantity over quality while thinking, and then once you have enough

notes you can sort through which ones are most useful to you.

The second tip is to research the topic.

Pretty self-explanatory because sometimes when I'll be jotting down how to be better

at rapping, I have no clue because I'm an amateur.

So instead, I looked up how other people mastered their craft and then used those tips, one

of which was to study artists that were at the top of the game right now, and brainstormed

how I could do that.

So I came to the conclusion that if I wanted to get better, I'd rap alongside one new

song a day and see how that went, and now my rhythm is much better than before.

Finally, the third tip is just to keep a journal everywhere.

In the shower my mind somehow relaxes and I get a bunch of new thoughts.

For some people like Bart Kwan from JK Films he gets a bunch of ideas when pooping, and

for some you just need to walk around.

Going outside for me has helped so I definitely want to live in a warmer area as if I try

to walk outside right now even in March I risk falling on my ass because of all the

ice out here.

However the main thing is to keep a journal or just use your phone notes because if you

have an idea while in the shower, you don't want to forget it, so the moment you get out

just write it or type it.

That's all there is to it.

Brainstorming is a very crucial skill, especially when you want to be able to continue to get

better and better at whatever you want in life.

Big shoutout to MeatForThought for animating this video, his channel also has self-development

clips so be sure to check him out on scree or in

the description!.

KreativeVein, peace.

Sean Yu - Jane's 2017 YT Scholarship Winner - Duration: 2:21.

Hi everyone, I'd like to announce my scholarship winner for the year 2017.

Years ago, when someone requested a tutorial for the Liszt La Campanella,

I thought, "are you kidding?"

But requests for the piece kept coming, from many countries.

I wondered if this would ever stop.

But it didn't ...

So in 2012, I gave in,

and humored them by making La Campanella: Part 1,

thinking that would be the end of the matter.

I assumed no one would turn in so-called "homework", my condition for making Part 2.

Guess who kept handing in "homework"?

Yes, Sean Yu...

Of course, Sean's performance still needed work,

but I was impressed by his determination and hard work.

I decided to offer him a scholarship.

I hope he uses it to find a good teacher at a music conservatory.

A few lessons could lead to much improvement.

I asked Sean to write something about himself.

Here's what he wrote:

So Superior Engineering has come up with a range of products that will protect the underside

of your vehicle, some of those vital components.

Now, right here we have got a sump guard and transmission protection system so it protects

your transmission and your sump from losing oil if you hit a rock or something of that

nature.
