NEW MINECRAFT UPDATE INCOMING
I will love you in small ways the way rain touches windows quietly, without asking for permission. I will love you like the breath that hides inside the chest of a sleeping bird— fragile, and almost not there and if tomorrow my heart forgets to wake, promise me you will carry its last warmth in your hands as though it were a fallen petal too tender to leave on the ground for I.
Boring trees, but this week they shine like flames.

THEY ARE FINALLY ADDING AUTUMNAL TREES TO MINECRAFT
What do poplar trees, sharks and biofuels have in common? While it might sound a bit like a riddle, a team led by Michigan State University
What do poplar trees, sharks and biofuels have in common? While it might sound a bit like a riddle, a team led by Michigan State University biochemists has reported exciting findings concerning all three in the quest for cleaner energy. Published in the Plant Biotechnology Journal, the team's latest paper explores how poplar trees can be engineered to produce a highly valuable chemical that's commonly obtained from shark livers. Engineering poplars to produce this chemical would greatly boost their economic viability as an already-promising source of biofuels, as well as help cut back on destructive shark harvesting.

The Three Sisters of Phaethon Weeping over the Tomb of their Brother
Artist: Francis Danby (Irish, 1793-1861)
Date: 1841-1845
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Description
Their brother, Phaëthon, died after attempting to drive his father's chariot (the sun) across the sky. He was unable to control the horses and fell to his death (according to most accounts, Zeus struck his chariot with a thunderbolt to save the Earth from being set afire). The Heliades grieved for four months and the gods turned them into poplar trees and their tears into amber. According to some sources, their tears (amber) fell into the river Eridanus, in which Phaethon had fallen.
According to Hyginus, the Heliades were turned to poplar trees because they yoked the chariot for their brother without their father Helios' permission.
