Once the most modern spa in Europe, Neptune Baths, is found today in a pre-collapse state.

Following recent archaeological discoveries, the very first art subject was not a human but a warty pig, and soon after followed cave paintings of humans hunting pigs. Thus, the portrayal of humans in artworks, later followed by objects and nature, really is as old as art itself. Before the invention of camera obscura and long before the selfie era, painters were entrusted with creating the most accurate depictions of people. Even today, one of the most famous paintings, painted over 500 years ago, Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, is deemed highly realistic even by today's portrait painting standards.

There have been countless architectural gems built over centuries that people have had the chance to admire. Everything from authentic houses of worship to spectacular bridges, stations, and entire old towns, among other structures, have been a mesmerizing sight for their eyes at some point throughout history.

If you close your eyes and picture a scientist, chances are you're seeing a man. We can't blame you, though. The assumption that science and innovation is a "men-only club" is still going strong.

Vest, MIT's former president, publicly acknowledged the rampant gender discrimination within his own institution. At MIT, women had fewer resources, earned lower salaries, and their influence... Let's just say they didn't have a front-row seat at the scientific symposium.

Kodachrome film was epic for capturing colors crisply and vibrantly- and most importantly, the pictures would not degrade over time. Pictures taken with other films start to show color degradation.
Chills run down your spine, the little hairs standing up as if to applaud a wonderful performance, all the while a beating drum plays in your ears, your heart picking up the pace. You stare unblinkingly, eyes wide, forehead scrunched up in flustered unknowing. Should you run? Should you hide? Should their smile be as wide?
