There's nothing that says spring quite like flowers. And whether fresh or artificial, colorful blooms are a great way to jazz up your style. Specifically, if you are looking to add a bit of charm to your hairstyle, incorporating flowers into your hair is a great way to go. While floral hair accessories are often associated with brides, there are also plenty of casual accessories that can be worn every day.

And, it doesn't matter whether you have a short style or love long braids, as there are hair clips, combs, bobby pins, and scarves that are suited for all styles. If you like to stand out in a crowd, you might like a large flower hairpin. Or, if you are looking for something more subtle, some beautiful barrettes made from smaller, fresh flowers will do the trick.

Whether it's a special occasion or a wedding, a hair vine can provide a touch of class. If you are looking for a tropical vibe, there's even a bird-of-paradise comb that will make you feel like you're in Hawaii. Anyone looking for something more casual will also appreciate some cute daisy ponytail holders or a floral hair scarf that also doubles as a scrunchie.

Check out all of our ideas for how to incorporate flowers into your hair thanks to these creative accessories and start celebrating spring in style.

Lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on all kinds of social behaviors, from discrimination to civic engagement and protests. What effect has the pandemic had on more extreme behaviors, like terrorist attacks from groups like the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)? Many armed actors, such as ISIS, threatened to use the pandemic to advance their goals. In its propaganda, ISIS even referred to COVID-19 as the smallest soldier of Allah on the face of the earth.

In some ways, the pandemic presented an opportunity to armed groups like ISIS. The pandemic threatened to divert resources away from fighting extremism because it overwhelmed countries budgets and placed demands on some countries security forces to deliver public health care services.  

In our research, however, my colleagues and I found that the pandemic did not generally increase ISIS attacks. Instead, we found that lockdown measures adopted during the pandemic reduced attacks in Egypt, Iraq, and Syria. The effects were especially large in densely populated areas, where the population provided physical cover for ISISs activities, and in areas outside ISISs base of operations, which were harder to reach due to travel restrictions.

In taking people off the streets, the lockdowns removed the physical cover ISIS relies on for its operations, especially in urban areas, and eliminated many high-value civilian targets, such as markets. In shutting down businesses and reducing travel, the lockdowns also reduced ISISs revenue.  However, the lockdowns were not in place long enough to significantly deplete the groups reserves.

Even though the impact of the lockdowns on ISIS was significant, the lockdowns posed less of a challenge to ISIS than most other armed groups. ISIS has large financial reserves, operates in largely rural areas, and does not extensively target civilian populations. Most...

Ludwig van Beethoven died in 1827, a bit early to be subjected to the kinds of DNA analysis that have become so prevalent today. Luckily, the German-speaking world of the early nineteenth century still adhered to the custom of saving locks of hair from the deceased particularly lucky for an archaeology student named Tristan Begg and his collaborators in the study Genomic analyses of hair from Ludwig van Beethoven, published just this month in Current Biology. In the video from Cambridge University just above, Begg introduces the research project and describes what new information it reveals about the composer whose life and work have been so intensively studied for so long.

Working with an international team of scientists, I identified five genetically matching, authentic locks of hair and used them to sequence Beethovens genome, Begg says. We discovered significant genetic risk factors for liver disease and evidence that Beethoven contracted the Hepatitis B virus in, at the latest, the months before his final illness.

Why do people feel the need to try to tell people what they should do with their own houses and their own yards?

Its enough to make a person crazy!

And this guy was clearly NOT having it when his neighbor told him he should cut down the peach tree on his lawn.

Read on and let us know if you think he acted like an a**hole.

AITA for not cutting down a peach tree on my lawn?

I(46M) have an apple tree in my backyard and a peach tree in my front yard. I am currently living in my parents house with my wife(46F). My mother and father planted them.

They passed away and we decided to plant more. I only trim them when the branches get too big. They are mostly for the wildlife in the nearby woods. The deer love to come and eat the fruit. I dont spray them with any pesticides as they arent for consumption.

I work during the week and dont get home until the evening. I havent had any issues with the neighbors as the house is mostly in the countryside and surrounded by woods. A few weeks ago, a new neighbor moved in to the house nextdoor. I havent had any interaction with them until now. I was not aware that the neighbor was coming over and grabbing fruit from the peach tree.

I get home yesterday and neighbor was standing on my porch. She comes storming over to my car and says The peaches made my son and I sick. I told her that the fruit was mostly for decoration and for the wildlife. She starts screaming at me and threatens to call the cops unless I take the trees down.

I told her no, Im not going to take the trees down. My wife suggested going out to the grocery store and buying her some peaches to keep the peace.

Its all too easy to get stuck in the worldview were born with and never really look for a new one. There are things that can jostle us into a new point of view, though, and it can honestly be refreshing.

These 20 people have all had that eye-opening moment, and they say these are the quotes that gave them the jumpstart they needed.

20. Acknowledge your progress.

Long time ago I was meeting two women on the sidewalk and just as we passed each other I heard this one sentence from one of them:

You dont notice your progress in life because you are always raising the bar.

19. Try not to worry.

Let go or be dragged and old zen proverb I heard at a meditation class.

Really changed the way I let myself worry about things

18. Go toward the light.

If you look for the light, you will often find it, but if you look for the dark, it is all you will ever see Uncle Iroh, Legend of Korra.

Has helped me through some dark times in the past, just looking for that small bit of good in a heap of bad.

17. We all know the difference.

do you listen or just wait to speak

I get so far through listening then hear something I want to reply to and then dont hear any more of the conversation.

16. Be open to change.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Aristotle.

And yes it isnt the real quote but elementary school aged me internalized that thought and I have applied it to everything ever since then.

15. You have more cont...

MIAMI  Ten years ago, one of South Floridas largest developers, Related Group founded by Jorge Prez, namesake of Miamis Prez Art Museum acquired a four-acre lot in the citys Brickell neighborhood, south of Downtown. Related paid $104 million for the land plus a $164 million loan to turn it into one mega luxury-brand hotel. 

When they started tearing down the building and parking lot to prepare for construction, objects attributed to the Tequesta Civilization, one of South Floridas first tribes, started coming out of the ground. The findings, some dating back 2,000 years, included tools and ornaments made from animal bones and shells, giant turtle remains, artifacts pointing to a thriving trade network, and the remains of the extinct West Indian monk seal. There were also fragments of human remai...

Theres nothing easy about caring for a child with special needs. It takes a financial, emotional, physical, and mental toll that people who havent experienced may not be able to understand.

OP says that, before having children, he and his wife decided what exactly they could and could not handle, and knew they would not be willing or able to raise a child with severe special needs.

Before i M40 got married to my wife 33 we talked about every in advance. It was silly stuff at first. How we squeezed toothpaste, which direction the toilet paper roll should face, that sort of thing.

But as our relationship progressed we talked about more serious stuff. How we would discipline our children, living wills, and what we would do if we knew we were having a child with severe special needs.

We decided together that we didnt want to do that to a human. To bring them into the world to suffer. We were lucky enough that it wasnt ever something we had to deal with.

They were lucky to not have to make hard choices (that his family didnt approve of), but his sister was not. Her daughter is significantly disabled and her husband has left because of it, contributing only financially.

I had told my sister this because she is my best friend. She went running to our parents saying that we were terrible people who would terminate a pregnancy that wasnt going to give us a perfect child. I never said that. We had to spend days explaining that we knew what we could handle and what we could deal with. My parents werent happy.

Well, unfortunately, my sister 36 did not have this talk with her husband. When she was pregnant with their second child the doctor told them that the child would have many health issues. They prayed about it and went forward with the pregnancy.

A new investigation conducted by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) in collaboration with the UK-based nonprofit Finance Uncovered has revealed that New Yorks Metropolitan

QUITO, Ecuador Before the Museo Camilo Egas became a museum, it was a Spanish colonial-style home, complete with a courtyard and white stucco walls to mitigate the summer heat. If you look at the ground, youll see bits of animal bones poking out of the stone floor. These were believed to ward off evil spirits a local custom the colonizers adopted from the colonized.

The history of the museum itself provides a fitting introduction to the artwork stored inside. Camilo Egas, born only a few blocks away in 1889, is an important but increasingly controversial painter who has been equal parts praised and scorned for his attempt to turn the struggles of Indigenous peoples ignored and underserved into works of art. 

Egas is considered an early champion of Indigenismo, an art movement that emerged in Latin America in the 1920s when artists turned to their pre-Columbian heritage for inspiration. Coinciding with the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the spread of revolutionary parties on the South American continent, Indigenismo promoted socialism and condemned imperialism. Indigenist painters...

We are living in a moment when artists of color are asking if their only route to art world legitimacy is to make the work that a predominately White art world expects them to make. Current anti-racist thought maintains that it is not the duty of marginalized or otherwise disenfranchised people to do the emotional labor of explaining their historical contexts and grounds for grievances to those who wont do the work of trying to understand it themselves. They are asking: if I am Indigenous, am I only allowed to make work that is about indigeneity?

Ho-Chunk artist Tom Jones sees it more simply: regardless of whether the art looks Indian enough, American Indian art is still Native because it is coming from Native thought and upbringing. Jones has been persistently making art about and for the Ho-Chunk Nation for more than two decades. In the past year, the ar...

Ai Weiwei Recreated Monets Water Lilies Out of 650,000 LEGO Bricks

Nearly a century after Claude Monet captured the beauty of lily ponds in a series of Impressionist paintings, Ai Weiwei has reimagined the triptych in a radically new way. The contemporary Chinese artistknown for pushing boundariesused 650,000 LEGO bricks in 22 different colors to reconstruct the image on a massive scale. Titled Water Lilies #1, this striking piece is part of Weiwei's upcoming exhibition Ai Weiwei: Making Sense opening at the Design Museum in London in April 2023.

Making Sense focuses on Weiwei's interest in design and architecture. In Water Lilies #1, he translates Monet's expressive brushstrokes into a pixelated depiction made up of geometric bricks. And while it may resemble an Impressionist piece from afar, closer inspection reveals that the organic forms are actually rendered with thousands and thousands of blocks, echoing the prevalence of digital art in the modern world. The total length of the piece measures 15 meters (a little over 42 feet), making it the largest LEGO artwork that Weiwei has ever made.

A key difference in Weiwei's Water Lilies #1 is the addition of a dark...

New York Citys iconic Flatiron Building, known for its distinctive wedge design that evokes the shape of a vintage clothes iron, sold for $190 million at auction yesterday, March 22. Earlier this month, the New York State Supreme Court determined that the building would be sold to the highest bidder to resolve the irreconcilable differences between its five former stakeholders. Four of the owners sued for a partition auction in a last-ditch effort to boot the fifth owner, Nathan Silverstein, who was reportedly blocking renovations for the building that has sat unoccupied since 2019.

But the auction took an unexpected turn yesterday when an outsider bidder named Jacob Garlick of the investment firm Abraham Trust priced out former stakeholder Jeffrey Gural.

While the Flatiron Building was open to anyone who could pony up the cash through a public auction, Gural of GFP Real Estate and the other thre...

Worlds Largest Bat Species Is the Size of a Human Child

Remember when I told y'all about the Philippines having human-sized bats? Yeah, this was what I was talking about pic.twitter.com/nTVIMzidbC

hatdog (@AlexJoestar622) June 24, 2020

In 2020, Twitter user @AlexJoestar622 set the internet on fire when he posted a photo of what looked like a human-size bat in the Philippines. While many were quick to call the photo fake, it's since been confirmed to be real and shows a giant golden-crowned flying fox (Acerodon jubatus). Also known as a golden-capped fruit bat, this endangered species is one of the largest bats in the world and is endemic to the Philippines. Classified as a megabat, these flying foxes can weigh up to three pounds with a wingspan of up to five and a half feet.

While the Twitter photo isn't fake, it does make the bat appear a bit larger than it really is. That's due to forced perspective, which is a common illusion used in photography. Often used in fantasy films to play with our idea of scale, this technique can make objects appear larger by placing them closer to the camera. So while the bat seems frighteningly large on Twitter, it's not quite that big.

Still, anyone would probably jump if they turned the corner and saw this bat snoozing in their garage. Luckily, giant golden-crowned flying foxes really have no interest in humans. Their diet primarily consists of figs and leaves. As with most bats, they go out foraging at night and then sleep during the day. They can live anywhere from 10 to 30 years in the wild. Little is known about their reproduction, except that females give birth to one pup at a time. It's also suspected that they only have one litter a year.

Given their size, it would likely take a large predator to take down this flying fox. In fact, its main predators are large birds of prey like eagles. They are also hunted by reticulated pythons and, unfortunately, humans who use them for their bushmeat. This act, as well as deforestation, are two of the biggest challenges that the giant golden-crowned flying fox faces.

The giant golden-crowned flying fox was placed on the IUCN Red List in...

Known for incorporating recognizable, everyday objects into monumental sculptures, Ai Weiwei (previously) has created acclaimed installations using bicycles, life vests, and seeds and flowers made of porcelain that often challenge political issues such as the social unrest of his native China, the global refugee crisis, and themes of liberty and freedom of speech. Since 2014, he has utilized LEGO as a medium but not without some controversy along the way due to the political nature of his work. Now, Ai has completed his largest LEGO piece to date in a recreation of Water Lilies, one of French Impressionist artist Claude Monets most iconic artworks.

Monets Water Lilies series was inspired by the artists garden in Giverny, France, featuring a foot bridge over a pond teeming with wildlife. This idyllic setting was the design and creation of Monet himself, who at the turn of the 20th century had the nearby River Epte partially diverted in order to bring his vision to life. Ai challenges our perceptions of natural beauty an...

We only need to be as true to others as we are to ourselves that there may be ground enough for friendship.

Friendship is the sunshine of life the quiet radiance that makes our lives not only livable but worth living. (This is why we must use the utmost care in how we wield the word friend.) In my own life, friendship has been the lifeline for my darkest hours of despair, the magnifying lens for my brightest joys, the quiet pulse-beat beneath the daily task of living. You can glean a great deal about a person from the constellation of friends around the gravitational pull of their personhood. Whatever our degree of friends may be, we come more under their influence than we are aware, the trailblazing astronomer Maria Mitchell observed as she contemplated how we co-create each other and recreate ourselves in friendship. Her friend Ralph Waldo Emerson whom she taught to look through a telescope believed that all true friendship rests on two pillars. In his own life, he put the theory into practice in his friendship with his young protg Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817May 6, 1862) a solitary and achingly introverted person himself, who thought deeply and passionately about the rewards and challenges of friendship.

Charming Animal Portraits of Farm-ilies Across North America

When living on a farm, animals are more than just companions, they're also part of the family. British Columbia-based photographer Tasha Hall captures this special bond in her Farmily series of portraits, which feature the horses, dogs, chickens, and other animals from farms across North America.

In each of these charming photos, the inhabitants of the farm pose together in a formal portrait set against the backdrop of the scenic places they call home. Hall manages to wrangle animals of different kinds together and bring out their unique personalities. The farm portraits started quite by accident. I wanted to create our own farm portrait as a Christmas card, back in 2014. I put some of our animals together with my husband and daughter and the first image was created, she tells My Modern Met. A year later, I did it again but added in all of our farm animals at the time, horses, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks etc. I posted the portrait on Facebook and it went crazy from there. People started asking me if I could create something like it for them. The rest is history.

Through Farmily, we get glimpses of the many different types of farm families. Almost every one of these groups includes at least one dog; some feature multiple horses, goats, or pigs; and there are some that feature less-seen animals like alpacas. Sometimes the human family members join in, but in most cases, the animals are the stars. My dream is to travel the world and capture beautiful Farmily images for people all over the place, and eventually write a book of farms around the world, Hall adds.

You can learn more about Hall via her website, and keep up to date with her latest projects by following her Instagram.

People Are Sharing Relationship Green Flags That Are Positive Ways to Form Healthy Bonds

Photo: Peus/Depositphotos

When dating, we often focus on someones red flags, or things that give us pause about a person. (Think of behavior such as trash talking their ex.) Its important to recognize these characteristics, but its also worth noting the green flags that are also there. Green flags are the opposite of red flags and are the thoughtful things that someone does to indicate they're worthy of our time. They are also healthy relationship habits that someone has, such as good communication skills.

Green flags are different for everyone, but essentially, theyre characteristics that make us feel better and not worse. Green flags are positive indicators that a connection has the potential to flourish into a safe, healthy, lasting relationship, explains Shanita Brown, Ph.D. Theyre a good sign that youre compatible with that person and can form a healthy bond.

So, what are some green flags to look for? People across the internet are sharing their opinions. A Reddit thread asking for instant green flags got a lot of responses. They arent earth-shattering, but they're definitely things you dont find in everyone you meet.

Consistency was one green flag. Not having to wonder if he likes you or not, said one Redditor. It feels natural and you dont have to wait 1000 years to reply to text. Another shared...

Bridal Shop Unveils Gorgeous Disney Princess Wedding Dresses To Make Dreams Come True

Inspired by Cinderella

Many children have dreamed of being Disney Princessesglamorous gowns and all. And now, thanks to Allure Bridals, their adult selves can make that childhood fantasy a reality by way of its Disney Fairy Tale wedding dresses. The collection has gorgeous gowns inspired by Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Rapunzel, Snow White, and Tiana. Each dress, and its corresponding Disney Princess, evoke the spirit of the character its emulating, whether that's through the surface details or silhouette of the dress.

The 2023 Disney Fairy Tale wedding dresses are the fourth collaboration between Allure Bridal and Disney. This fact challenges designers to make each gown unique and different from previous years. Its also Disneys centennial, which added some pressure to create show-stopping designs.

To do this, designers emphasized the little details that make an overall big impact on the dress, such as beading and lace appliqus. Although the styles lean towards classic, Allure Bridals was sure to incorporate trends including voluminous sleeves, asymmetrical necklines, and high-quality fabrics sans lace or other embellishments.

While inspired by the Disney Princesses, the collection is first and foremost beautiful dresses that arent overtly Disney. In other words, you dont have to be a Disney adult to appreciate and want to rock these gowns. They are meant for anyone who wants to feel like a princess on their wedding day.

The gowns are available in sizes 0 to 30 and come with a price tag ranging from $1,799 to $10,000. View the entire collection on the Allure Bridals website.

With a background in graphic design and illustration, New Delhi-based artist Aman Khanna has always had a knack for expressing human emotions and experiences in his quirky, playful personalities. Over time, he yearned to build something three-dimensional with his hands as a way to complement his predominantly digital, two-dimensional process of graphic design. An opportunity to explore this new direction arose when he attended the 2013 Pictoplasma Academy, an annual character art conference in Berlin.

Khanna experimented with shaping clay for the first time as he prepared for the Pictoplasma group show, and he hasnt looked back. I began to create small clay sculptures that were inspired by human feelings, emotions, and interactions, he says, sharing that he enjoys working with the material because of its ancient history and connection to the earth. The fact that it can be moulded into any shape or form is fascinating to me.

The figures, which he calls Claymen, portray a spectrum of expressions inspired by the intricacies of the human condition. Some sport legs and arms or participate in activities like scuba diving and relaxing with friends, while others simplified, disc-like faces depict a range of feelings. The emotions evoked in us through our actions, reactions, and how we interact with one another has led me to understand how fragile we are, he says, and I find that clay allows me to communicate that.

Khanna works alongside a team of 15 assistants in the Claymen studio, and you can find more of his work on his...

Do you ever wake up all bundled up in bed on a chilly morning and think to yourself, Ahh, I'm just like a burrito? Well, now you can take that thought one step further with an actual blanket that looks like a giant tortilla. This Burrito Tortilla Blanket will make you feel like your favorite snack while watching TV, laying in bed, or whenever you please.

Visually, the blanket perfectly resembles the texture of a tortilla, from the yellowish-white flour to the varying brown shades of burned spots. However, don't let the look of this creative blanket fool youit's super soft to the touch and will keep you cozy while adding a fun touch to your nights in. To make it even more realistic, the blanket is printed on both sides.

The blanket comes in a wide range of sizes, from 47 to 80 inches, in case you want to share your place in a burrito with someone else. If wrapping yourself in a tortilla is not your thing, there are also cookie, waffle, and pizza blankets available. Although those options are great for paying tribute to amazing dishes, nothing beats the humor behind literally being a human burrito.

It's softer than I thought it would be and oddly enough, the circular shape makes it super versatile for wrapping over shoulders or using as a lap blanketextra length on rounded edges means your toes don't stick out, writes one reviewer. Another satisfied customer writes, It is a great investment for anyone who wants to add...
