![]() The unique color comes from cyanobacteria that photosynthesize into bright red and orange hues as the water evaporates and salinity rises before that process occurs during the dry season, the lake is blue.īut one species actually makes life among all that death-flamingos. The water is oversaturated with salt, can reach temperatures of 140 degrees and has a pH between 9 and 10.5-so corrosive that it can calcify those remains, strip ink off printed materials and burn the skin and eyes of unadapted animals. The lake's landscape is surreal and deadly-and made even more bizarre by the fact that it's the place where nearly 75 percent of the world's lesser flamingos are born. Bats, swallows and more are chemically preserved in the pose in which they perished deposits of sodium carbonate in the water (a chemical once used in Egyptian mummification) seal the creatures in their watery tomb. The truth about Lake Natron is far more interesting than myths.At the base of a mountain in Tanzania’s Gregory Rift, Lake Natron burns bright red, surrounded by the calcified remains of animals that were unfortunate enough to fall into the salty water. Its unique ecosystem underscores the balance between life and death, showcasing how even in the harshest conditions, life finds a way to not just survive, but thrive. Lake Natron is an excellent reminder of how nature is full of surprises and adaptations. But there’s more to this lake than meets the eye. Its eeriness, the ghostly images of life arrested in time, is a fascinating aspect of its lure. For this reason, it it’s a magnet for both tourists and scientists alike. The juxtaposition between Lake Natron’s beauty and harshness is stark. The lake’s extreme conditions keep the flamingos safe from predators, while the algae thriving in the salty water serve as a rich food source. Yet, despite its harshness, Lake Natron is the chosen breeding ground for more than 2.5 million Lesser Flamingos. So while it’s not turning beings to stone, it’s not exactly a friendly dip. Touching the water could cause burns, especially to the eyes and skin of unadapted animals and humans. With temperatures that can reach up to 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit), it’s inhospitable for many species. However, that doesn’t mean Lake Natron is all welcoming. ![]() But instant petrification? That’s a myth. ![]() Similar to how ancient Egyptians used natron to mummify bodies, the lake’s water can preserve and give a stony appearance to those unfortunate creatures that end up in its depths. The animals, likely dead before they touched Natron’s waters, were preserved by its alkalinity. But the reality is less fantastical and more scientific. Photographer Nick Brandt published a series of hauntingly beautiful images of calcified animals along Lake Natron’s shores, triggering rumors that its water could turn creatures to stone. But before you jump to a petrifying conclusion, let’s debunk that myth. In stark contrast to its resident fishes, the lake has been accused of turning birds and other animals into statues. These hardy creatures adapted to Lake Natron’s harsh conditions and live quite happily in its waters. Three species of fish, Alcolapia alcalica, Alcolapia latilabris, and Alcolapia ndalalani, call this caustic lake home. With these numbers, you might think nothing could survive here. Add in some salt and mineral impurities, and you have a lake with a pH as high as 10.5. It gets its name from natron, a naturally occurring mixture of sodium carbonate decahydrate and around 17% sodium bicarbonate. Lake Natron, nestled in the Great Rift Valley, is a salt lake. It’s rumored to turn animals into stone (though that’s not quite true). Imagine a vast shimmering pink and red body of water so caustic that it burns your skin and eyes. Tanzania’s Lake Natron is not your average lake.

Now, you can add some motion blur to your text as it moves, or even create a line or secondary layer from which to reveal it. Then, go into your mask settings, and adjust the mask path to stay stationary. Masks are a bit tricky because they move along with your layer when adjusting position keyframes, so create two keyframes with a start and end position where you want your text to stop. A new mask layer will appear below your selected layer. Create a mask around your text using the tool. To start a reveal mask, select the layer you would like to mask and then click the rectangle tool (or press Q). Reveal Masking To begin creating a reveal mask, activate the rectangle tool.

Could Maron talk to the President the way he’s talked to comedians and other guests, getting to the heart and soul of things? It’s an environment that has fostered incredible conversations with hundreds of guests, most of whom reveal things about themselves you’d never expect. The comings and goings of Maron’s cats and the workings of his heart and mind are part of the appeal. We’re not just in a conversation-we’re in a garage, and in a life. “I ran the country from my couch for a couple of years.” “I used to be more politically involved,” he said.

What’s it like when the President visits the Cat Ranch? If you’re a loyal What the Fuckaneer, it’s thrilling for Maron’s sake. He had tidied the garage, “moved the piles into the house.” “It’s crazy. There is something in here that looks like an armed yoga mat that I didn’t ask too many questions about.” Maron, even today, was reassuringly Maron. “I’ve heard there is going to be a sniper on the roof. I had to hide my cats in the bedroom,” Maron said. We listeners, the What the Fuckers and What the Fuckniks, were just “folks” the references to Squarespace were minimal Maron’s short opening monologue focussed on his getting ready for the President to visit his garage, which doubles as his recording studio.

With the Rymek keyboard everything old is new again. The Rymek retro keyboard is available now in two colors – Classy Black and Caramel White – and is priced at $US199 but there are some still discounts for early birds on the Indiegogo page. Under the hood is a 2,000mAh lithium ion battery that will last for 50 hours on a single charge. So if you were hoping to show this one off at the café, better think again – or take a big bag with you to fit it in. It’s pretty heavy and bulky and not meant to travel. The only issues we had were pairing the device – the instructions weren’t exactly clear.Īnother thing to note that while Rymek is a beautiful and well-built keyboard – it’s not exactly portable. For us it was like riding a bike getting used to the keys.Īlong the side is a handy scroll knob that can be used as a volume control and to mute the sound with a press. The review you’re reading now was actually written using the Rymek keyboard.Īpart from getting used to the clickety clack of the keyboard, users also have to come to grips with the actual keys which, unlike a regular keyboard, move quite a lot so gliding your hands around the keys takes a fraction of a second longer.īut that’s not to say you can’t get used to it. We hooked up our Rymek review unit to our iPad and typed into the Pages app. In Bluetooth mode it can support iOS, Android, Mac and Windows.

It also has the weight of an old typewriter as well with an impressive build quality and it is finished beautifully. They are also backlit so you can use the device in any lighting conditions.Īll that’s missing is the typewriter ribbon. Those keys are mechanical and have plenty of travel in them. The keyboard has saddle shape key caps and provides the clickety clack sound to make you feel like you’re typing on a real typewriter. When we placed the iPad into position on the metal stent like you would a piece of blank paper on a real typewriter back in the day, the Rymek looked every bit like an old school typewriter. Using the retro device was like stepping back in time. Tech Guide was lucky enough to get hold of a unit to review. The device exceeded its initial target on Indiegogo by more than 500 per cent and is now available to purchase. There are lots of Bluetooth keyboards around but there are none quite like the Rymek which draws its inspiration from a typewriter from the 1950s complete with the loud clack of the keys. |
