Drone Reveals Bizarre 4,000-Year-Old ‘Mole Town’ Where People Live Entirely Underground

With a few notable exceptions (looking at you, scientists on Antarctica), humans civilizations tend to center on easy-to-reach areas. Most of the greatest cities in history sprouted up along major waterways for a reason, after all.

This is part of what makes one secretive, 4,000-year-old Chinese town so fascinating. To even get a peek of this remote place, nicknamed the “mole town,” the world needed to use drones. Nonetheless, people have called it home for a millennia, largely undisturbed.

 Now, this amazing aerial drone footage of the ancient city has been made available to the public, and it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before… With the capabilities of drone technology at an all-time high, it’s safe to say we’re able to reach places that we’ve never seen before. In few cases is that more evident than with one mysterious city hidden in a remote part of China.

Women Reveal Their Secret Sexual Fantasies

For women, it may feel difficult speaking about our secret sexual desires or fantasies. Women are implicitly and explicitly taught to keep their sexual desires to themselves. It's impressed from an early age that being too sexual or being too vocal about what you want might give people the wrong idea or might make you look unattractive in a certain light — two things that make me say, "To hell with that."

A 2014 Journal of Sexual Medicine-published study revealed that among the top sexual fantasies women have were things like sex in an unusual place, being dominated and group sex with three or more people. In 2017, Refinery29 collected the fantasies women had, and while some fell into similar categories, new ones cropped up, including voyeurism, exhibitionism and having sex with someone you know, like a coworker.

How the Survivors of Parkland Began the Never Again Movement

y Sunday, only four days after the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in Parkland, Florida, the activist movement that emerged in its aftermath had a name (Never Again), a policy goal (stricter background checks for gun buyers), and a plan for a nationwide protest (a March for Our Lives, scheduled for March 24th). It also had a panel of luminary teens who were reminding America that the shooting was not a freak accident or a natural disaster but the result of actual human decisions.

The funerals continued in Parkland and surrounding cities—for the students Jaime Guttenberg and Joaquin Oliver and Alex Schachter and the geography teacher Scott Beigel—with attendance sometimes surpassing a thousand people. On a local level, at least, the activism did not overshadow the grieving.

The tragedy affected this student body of more than three thousand people in different ways: some students lost their closest friends, others hallway acquaintances. And the student leaders knew, with the clarity of thought that had distinguished them from the beginning, that the headline-industrial complex granted only a very narrow window of attention. Had they waited even a week to start advocating for change, the reporters would have gone home.

Rare find from the deep sea

Dumbo octopuses live at a depth of thousands of meters in the oceans of this world, in near-freezing water and in absolute darkness. A rare spectacle now provides further insight into this extraordinary habitat: on board a research vessel, a US scientist filmed a dumbo octopus measuring just a few centimeters hatching from its egg. Based on these video recordings and MRI scans of the internal organs, researchers from the Delaware Museum of Natural History, the University of Bonn, the University Hospital Münster, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution were able to document a surprising similarity of the hatchling with adult animals. The unusual find is now being presented in the journal Current Biology.

Breaking : Mass shooting plot for SoCal high school thwarted by alert security guard

Authorities say they've thwarted a student's plot for a mass shooting at a Southern California high school.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Tuesday that a security guard at El Camino High School in Whittier overhead a "disgruntled student" threaten to open fire on the school on Friday, just two days after 17 people were gunned down at a Florida high school.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Nicole Nishida tells The Associated Press deputies discovered "multiple guns and ammunition" after searching the student's home.

Officials wouldn't provide additional details but scheduled a news conference for Wednesday.

Former Manchester City Coach, Barry Bennell jailed 31 years for sexual assault

Former British football trainer Barry Bennell was on Monday sentenced to 31 years in prison for abusing 12 boys he coached between 1979 and 1991, with the judge branding him “sheer evil”.

64 year old Bennell, who coached at Manchester City and other teams, was found guilty last week of dozens of child sexual offences, including indecent assault, buggery and attempted buggery.

Police have said scores more complainants have come forward since the case started, bringing the number of possible victims to more than 100. “You were the devil incarnate. You stole their childhoods and their innocence to satisfy your own perversion,” Judge Clement Goldstone said as he read out the sentence in a court in Liverpool, northwest England. “Your behaviour towards these boys in grooming and seducing them before subjecting them to, in some cases, the most serious, degrading and humiliating abuse was sheer evil.”
