🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- Leadenhall Market, London — One Of The City’s Oldest Covered Markets, Dating Back To The 14th Century. The current ornate iron-and-glass structure was designed by Sir Horace Jones in 1881, featuring Victorian detailing, vaulted ceilings, and richly painted façades. Today it’s a protected historic market filled with boutiques, pubs, and cafés — a rare surviving example of London’s Victorian commercial architecture.

Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded?

Sting has said that he wrote the song when he was drunk one night after a concert in Munich. The following morning, he remembered the song and wrote it down: “I was drunk in a hotel room in Munich, slumped on the bed with the whirling pit when this riff came into my head. I got up and started walking round the room, singing 'Walking round the room, ya, ya, walking round the room'. That was all. In the cool light of morning I remembered what had happened and I wrote the riff down. But 'Walking Round the Room' was a stupid title so I thought of something even more stupid which was 'Walking on the Moon'.” #walkingonthemoon, #police, #thepolice, #Sting, #newwave, #newwavemusic, #stewartcopeland, #andysummers, #dailyrockhistory, #thisdayinmusic, #onthisday, #70smusic "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- THE DOOMSDAY DJ: TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE This week in 1965, the Who single “My Generation” peaked on the UK Singles Chart at #2 (December 1) What would become The Who’s signature song, and was later included on the LP of the same name, was the band’s highest-charting single in their home country, along with 1966's "I'm a Boy". It also went to #2 in Australia, #3 in Canada, #6 in Germany, #7 in the Netherlands and Ireland, and a disappointing #74 in the US. Townshend reportedly wrote the song on a train ride from London to Southampton on May 19, 1965 - his 20th birthday. It is said to have been inspired by the Queen Mother, who is alleged to have had Townshend's 1935 Packard hearse towed off a street in Belgravia because she was offended by the sight of it during her daily drive through the neighbourhood. Townshend has also credited Mose Allison's "Young Man Blues" as the inspiration for the song, saying "Without Mose I wouldn't have written 'My Generation'." Townshend told Rolling Stone in 1985 that "'My Generation' was very much about trying to find a place in society. I was very, very lost. The band was young then. It was believed that its career would be incredibly brief." Daltrey recalled to Uncut magazine October 2001: "I have got a stutter. I control it much better now but not in those days. When we were in the studio doing 'My Generation', [Who manager] Kit Lambert came up to me and said 'STUTTER!' I said 'What?' He said 'Stutter the words – it makes it sound like you're pilled' And I said, 'Oh… like I am!' And that's how it happened. It was always in there, it was always suggested with the 'f-f-fade' but the rest of it was improvised." “My Generation” also features one of the first bass solos in rock history, courtesy of John Entwistle, and became one of the defining songs of the 60s rock era. The song was named the 11th greatest song by Rolling Stone on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It became part of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll and is inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for "historical, artistic and significant" value. #thewho, #mygeneration, #60srock, #60smusic, #petetownshend, #keithmoon, #johnentwistle, #rogerdaltrey, #rockmusic, #rockandrollhalloffame, #grammyhalloffame, #thisdayinrock, #rockandroll, #onthisday, #dailyrockhistory, #thisdayinmusic "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- Scientists have captured an extraordinary event that happens at the exact moment a human life begins a tiny flash of light known as the “zinc spark.” This brief shimmer appears the instant a sperm successfully fertilizes an egg, triggered when the egg releases millions of zinc ions in a sudden burst. Though invisible to the naked eye, specialized microscopes reveal this microscopic flash that marks the start of embryonic development. First observed in mice and later confirmed in humans, the zinc spark gives researchers a precise visual signal that fertilization has occurred. It also helps scientists better understand early development and could one day improve IVF success rates by identifying the healthiest eggs in real time.

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- Roman arch bridges are durable, semicircular structures that used wedge-shaped stones and the principle of compression to distribute weight, allowing for the construction of long-lasting and stable bridges and aqueducts. These engineering marvels, which still stand today, were made with stone and concrete and facilitated Roman expansion by enabling improved transportation and military movement across the empire. Key features Semicircular arch: Romans perfected the use of the semicircular arch, which was a significant advancement over earlier bridge designs. Voussoirs: The arch is constructed from wedge-shaped stones, called voussoirs, which are held in place by compression. Keystone: A central, wedge-shaped stone called the keystone locks the arch in place once the other voussoirs are positioned. Construction: To build, Romans used a temporary wooden support structure called falsework or centring to hold the arch in place until it was complete and stable. Materials: They utilized Roman concrete (opus caementicium) and often faced the exterior with ashlar (precisely cut stone) or brick. Multi-arch structures: For long bridges and aqueducts, they connected several arches together, with piers (upright columns) supporting the arches. Notable examples Pont du Gard: A famous example of a Roman aqueduct that uses a series of arches. Alcántara Bridge: A well-preserved bridge in Spain that spans the Tagus River and showcases the durability of Roman engineering. Pons Fabricius: Located in Rome, it is one of the world's oldest major bridges still in its original state. Ponte Rotto: An early Roman bridge in Rome, originally known as Pons Aemilius. Ponte Sant'Angelo: A bridge in Rome built over the Tiber River with foundations made using cofferdams. "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- “Meaning and morality of One's life come from within oneself. Healthy, strong individuals seek self expansion by experimenting and by living dangerously. Life consists of an infinite number of possibilities and the healthy person explores as many of them as posible. Religions that teach pity, self-contempt, humility, self-restraint and guilt are incorrect. The good life is ever changing, challenging, devoid of regret, intense, creative and risky.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️
