Pavement repairs, such as filling cracks, potholes, or other damage, leave visible patches on the surface. Over time, repeated repairs create a patchy appearance, especially if different materials or techniques are used.

“New Year, new me!” It’s time to shed the old year and welcome the new one. Meet the green anole (Anolis carolinensis), a small lizard found throughout much of the southeastern United States. Did you know? As an anole grows, it sheds its old skin. This process, called ecdysis, helps the lizard get rid of damaged or infected skin and allows for new healthy skin to replace it. In fact, most reptiles (including turtles and snakes) shed their skin as they grow.

Arabesque / Étude cinégraphique sur une arabesque (1929)

[letterboxd | imdb]

Director: Germaine Dulac

“The Cinema can be used as a lesson but it is also and above all an art, a new form of expression; but unfortunately for cinematic art, the tool came before the thought. While the first artisans of the screen, ignoring the new expressive richness that the invention of the Lumière brothers brought them, let the other forms of art suffocate the art form that was being born, scientists, whose only goal was to study life found, I believe, the true meaning of Cinema in looking beyond humans to the very heart of life. The Cinema could focus on the large and small dramas of nature as a whole. Only the scientists discovered this.

“Truth and subtlety, knowledge of the elusive and the invisible, this is what cinema brings us in the intellectual domain.”

— “The Meaning of Cinema” by Germaine Dulac from Revue Internationale du Cinema Educateur, December 1931, trans. Scott Hammen
