Ah well nothing wrong with that, I totally love cheese. I think for the world to wake up they would need to appear in front of the world press sending live images everywhere.  Say at the World Cup Final at half time. Watch for Russian sightings go up in number beforehand, but still not really being noticed. To me that is wishful thinking, no back out from that one.  |

Good morning good morning!
Science Alert
There's a Forest in Poland Filled With Crooked Trees, And No One Can Explain Why
It's like a mysterious fairy tale.
JACK SOMMER, BUSINESS INSIDER
29 JUN 2018
Deep in the woods of the West Pomerania region of Poland, an entire section of trees bends at sharp angles near their bases, forming an odd and entrancing phenomenon known as 'The Crooked Forest'.
Why do the trees bend like this? No one is quite sure. Some have theorised that harsh weather conditions made them this way. Others have said that man-made development uprooted the trees.
Landscape photographer Kilian Schoönberger shared some of his photos of the forest, as well as the folklore surrounding it.
According to Schoönberger and the region's oral tradition, the trees were planted around the year 1930. During that time, and throughout World War II, Germans controlled the area.
To this day, there are rumours that some type of human-made method or technique was used to cause the strange shapes of the trees - although it's not clear what purpose that would have served.

We were just talking about Cheese a couple of posts ago...and look how we affected reality! Let's not bring it up again... 
 The Post notes that Trump’s trade war has prompted fears that stockpiles will build further if trade tensions with China and Mexico slice into cheese exports. “Milk production continues to trend up, and that milk has to find a home,” said Lucas Fuess, director of market intelligence at HighGround Dairy, a consulting firm. “The issue this year is that, with so much supply, it’s going to be tough for a lot of farmers to be profitable.” Regarding seasonality, cheese surpluses tend to occur in the summer months. Dairy cattle are at their most productive stage in spring when the days are longer, and the feed is of much higher quality. Better genetics of the cows have also produced more milk. Simultaneously, demand for cheese declines among Americans in the summer months and usually picks back up during the school year. “I anticipate that we’ll continue to set these records,” said John Newton, director of market intelligence at the American Farm Bureau Federation. “We’re producing more milk. It’s inevitable. That milk needs to get turned into something storable.” |

Hottest Night in Recorded History Just Logged in Oman
By Rafi Letzter, Staff Writer | June 29, 2018
The day of June 26 was a scorcher in the town of Quriyat, Oman. Temperatures in the town, which is weathering a miserable heat wave, peaked at 121.6 degrees Fahrenheit (49.8 degrees Celsius) during the day, according to Weather Underground. That's just shy of the Omani record-high temperature of 123.4 degrees F (50.8 degrees C), set on May 30, 2017. But anyone in Quriyat hoping for an evening respite from the extreme heat would have been disappointed: Temperatures fell to a low of just 108.7 degrees F (42.6 degrees C). That's a world record: the highest "low" temperature ever recorded in history.
Oman, a hot and dry country located on the southeastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula (south of Saudi Arabia and east of Yemen) is a frequent site for ultrahot weather, including the last record-high low; Weather Underground reports that record, 107.4 degrees F (41.9 degrees C), was set at Khasab Airport on June 27, 2011.
The new record, Weather Underground reported, is the result of a "ridge" of high-pressure air in the upper atmosphere over the Arabian Peninsula, which trapped humid air from the Indian Ocean in the region, preventing heat from escaping at night.
