Uruguayan Miners Accidentally Discover Stunning Heart-Shaped Amethyst Geode

This uniquely shaped amethyst geode was spotted by Uruguay Minerals at the border of Uruguay and Brazil when workers broke open a rock that revealed a heart on either side of it.

“We were opening the mine to work normally,” Marcos Lorenzelli of Uruguay Minerals told My Modern Met, “but the land was difficult to work and our employees said, ‘We have to find something really nice due to the hard work we are doing.’”

An excellent example of how changing your mind(set), even for a shortwhile, can result in a once-in-a-lifetime find. It’s really true.

U.S. aircraft carried out strikes in Syria against facilities associated with Iranian-backed groups believed to be responsible for attacks on troops, the military said. U.S. military aircraft have carried out strikes in eastern Syria against facilities associated with Iranian-backed militant groups believed to be responsible for more than a dozen rocket and drone attacks on American troops in Iraq and Syria that injured 21 service members, the military said Thursday night. "Today, at President Biden's direction, U.S. Military forces conducted self-defense strikes on two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated group s," said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in a statement. "These precision self-defense strikes are a response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia groups that began on October 17," he said.

Taylor Swift Gave The Meaning Behind The Song Everyone Thinks Is About Karlie Kloss

Image
At least that’s the sentiment explored in one of two newly-released tracks from Taylor Swift ’s deluxe version of Evermore, her ninth studio album that’s kept Swifties fed since its surprise release in December 2020. On Thursday, Jan. 7, Swift introduced “Right Where You Left Me” and “It’s Time to Go,” the latter of which prompted fans to think it shades Karlie Kloss. Well, Taylor Swift explained the meaning behind “It’s Time to Go” and, uh, it’s still a bit of a head-scratcher. After its release, fans tried to connect the hints peppered throughout the song’s lyrics, which pretty clearly mention the dissolution of a female friendship. Swifties might remember that Swift’s longtime relationship with Kloss was rumored to have come to an end because of Kloss’ friendship with Scooter Braun (who Swift has a sour History with). And this part of the song only further helps per Pet uate that narrative: “When the words of a sister, come back in whispers, that prove she was not, in fa...

New Ducati fairing has "really good potential", says Bagnaia

Image
First spotted on the Ducati of test rider Michele Pirro at last week’s shakedown, the new aerodynamic package combines the stepped layout on the side of the bike with a diffuser at the bottom of the fairing - two parts that were separately trialled last year. The idea is to improve both the cornering and the braking performance of the bike, something that Ducati previously believed would be difficult to achieve with a single fairing . Bagnaia, factory team-mate Enea Bastianini and Pramac’s Jorge Martin all got to try out the new aero on their respective bikes for the first time on Wednesday, having dedicated the opening day of the Sepang test to compare different engine versions. Bagnaia praised the work Ducati has done to introduce the new fairing, along with other updates it has brought to the GP24. He said: “I feel good with more or less everything. The thing we improved a lot was the power delivery today and it makes me very happy.  “Th...
