I Found This And I Had To

Canadian engineering team Aerovelo just broke their own world record in the Eta, a recumbent bicycle fitted with a windowless, egg-like shell. Most of the incredibly efficient machine is built of carbon fiber. The engine is muscle, sweat and sinew – engineer Todd Reichert.

I’ve covered Aerovelo’s efforts before: in 2012, they were racing to build a human powered helicopter. They succeeded in 2013.

Here’s a video I made about their competitors, a team of graduate students and undergrads from the University of Maryland.

the bare-shanked screech owl is a large owl species found in mountainous ranges of costa rica, panama, and a small portion of colombia. they feed primarily on large insects and small mammals such as shrews. these owls are surprisingly social and spend their lives in family-sized groups, even during breeding seasons. males and females have no differences in plumage, but the female’s call is higher-pitched.
