A lovely story of an archivist reaching out for religious community support to fully understand a holy book in the collection, and that community getting a wonderful experience in return.

The Guru Granth Sahib is so fragile it was taken to Edinburgh Gurdwara in a special convoy by curators for just a few hours.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

A family has handed over a 13th century book to the National Library of Norway. Conservator Chiara Palandri says its pages were made of calfskin parchment and that the cover appears to be hairy sealskin. The strap to hold the book together is thought to have been made from reindeer hide.
Eight pages bound in furry seal skin may be Norway's oldest book
The little book is so rare that the National Library of Norway is bringing in experts from around the world to learn more.

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.

Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

2nd century AD. Vatican Museums www.museivaticani.va/content/muse...

#MosaicMonday
#Archaeology
The image shows detail from a floor mosaic of a brown mouse on a pale background facing left with its nose close to half a walnut in its shell. The mouse has a long thin tail stretched out behind. The mosaicist has used a mix of lighter and darker brown tiles for the mouse’s body to hint at fur. The walnut is created with warmer light and dark brown tiles. Slightly darker background tiles have been used beneath the mouse and walnut to create subtle shadows

Ballet [1/4]
A cartoon crow looks up at a poster for a ballet studio that includes art of 6 ballerinas dancing and a guide of the first 5 ballet feet positions. The crow marvels that humans can glide on the ground as birds do in the sky. The crow decides to try dancing too, following the illustrated poses on the poster. The crow crosses their legs and bounces.

My oldest selfie on my photo. I was taking a photo of the view and didn't realise that I was in the final shot.
Photo of the sea and coastlines, late in the day as the sun goes down. In the bottom right, there is a car side mirror and I can be barely seen.

Today's a good day to remember Rosalind Franklin, British chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose untimely death meant three men shared a Nobel prize for discovering the structure of DNA for which she'd done most of the work.

Working Thomas Cromwell’s River. I’m surrounded by maps and nautical navigation charts and notes. Plus Wolf Hall on audio.
A map of Tudor London, folded. A notebook with Thames-related notes. A quilted piece of blue fabric, with the words Upper Pool stitched; then a strip of brown fabric with the names of different wharves and quays inked on cream calico.

MailOnline Health Share 2.1k shares EXCLUSIVE: Young girls are going through puberty earlier now than in decades past - and experts say it could be setting them up for lifelong mental health problems and even cancer later in their lives By Mansur Shaheen U.S. Deputy Health Editor For Dailymail.Com 19:38, 10 Jun 2022, updated 22:36, 13 Jun 2022 10° +8 View gallery If a young girl begins to show early signs of puberty, she recommends taking the child to a pediatrician, and even a pediatric endocrinologist like herself and asking about puberty blockers. |〇 +8 View gallery © Shutterstock / sirtravelalot While the drugs may have earned a bad reputation from serving as a center-point in the trans-debate, their original use was to limit precocious puberty, and the potential negative effects that come with it. Their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal.

I have looked upon
the works
that were in
an antique land
and which you were
probably saving
for eternity

Forgive me
they were decayed
so boundless
and so bare

Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"

There was an old man you could gaze
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says
