Crown shyness is a phenomenon where trees' uppermost branches avoid touching, forming a delicate web of natural negative space. This is thought to be a growth response to prevent ongoing abrasion damage and potential pest invasion. 📽:Dimitar Karanikolov

Scientists believe crown shyness is an evolutionary adaptation related to factors like maximizing access to available sunlight, reducing the spread of harmful insects or fungi, or preventing potential physical damage during windy conditions. The effect is most pronounced and noticeable in certain species like eucalyptus, oak, pine and deciduous forests.

This is called "crown shyness" or "tree shyness"; it's a fascinating phenomenon where the tops of trees, though side by side, carefully avoid touching.

Freezing rain absolutely wrecked the big trees on my property. Woke up in the middle of the night to loud cracking and heavy thumping sounds. The damage is still ongoing. This is going to be a pain to clean up. Fortunately power is still on! 🤞

A great example of why tree ties must be fixed firmly to stakes. The stem abrasion damage is obvious. It was the same for all the trees. It's a catalogue of incompetence in every aspect, from design to contract oversight, on the A27 near Lewes. Disappointing, isn't it!

Imagine an #Iran where freedom fuels innovation, where democracy drives economic growth, and where talent is no longer held back. 🚀 At #UpfrontSummit, I sat down with Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to discuss this future. His message? A free Iran has limitless potential. 🔑 🎥 While we wait for the full interview video…Here's a glimpse of our conversation—Thank you to Crown Prince Pahlavi, because this is more than an interview; it’s a vision for what’s possible.

This video shows a young child living with hydrocephalus, a serious medical condition in which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up inside the brain. This abnormal accumulation increases intracranial pressure, causing the head to enlarge and potentially leading to developmental delays, vision problems, seizures, and neurological damage if left untreated. The swelling seen is not due to bone growth, but to excess fluid compressing delicate brain tissue. Hydrocephalus can be congenital or acquired, and early diagnosis is critical for protecting brain function. The surgical procedure shown involves placing a shunt system, one of the most common and effective treatments. The shunt redirects excess CSF from the brain to another part of the body—usually the abdomen where it can be safely absorbed. This helps relieve pressure, prevent further damage, and give the child a chance at healthier development. While hydrocephalus is a lifelong condition that often requires ongoing monitoring, modern neurosurgery can be life-saving and life-changing, especially when treatment happens early.

‘Bishiya Garkuwar Muhalli’ Indiscriminate felling of trees can lead to global warming, erosion, and the destruction of farmlands. as well as climate change effects. This has a negative economic impact on our daily lives. We should avoid the indiscriminate felling of trees.

#WATCH | On #OperationSindoor, former diplomat G. Parthasarathy says, "The fact of the matter is that it was not a large-scale invasion by us by airstrikes on terror havens. This is a case of a response to aggression by Pakistan, and that is only natural. As long as Pakistan sponsors terrorism, such reactions will come."

The first thing everyone does is suggest a third space. Give people their own bathrooms and sports. You wanted to be nice. This is the standard response. Anger.
