The Largest Brick Dome

Image
The Duomo in Florence has the largest brick dome ever and is often referred to as the “Birthplace of the Renaissance”. The dome was a huge challenge since ancient domes in Italy such as the Pantheon in Rome had been constructed using concrete but the recipe for concrete had been lost in the Dark Ages.  Medieval gothic cathedrals relied on flying buttresses to support their massive stone weight but architects and engineers of the budding Renaissance were determined not to use flamboyant Gothic and wanted to look back to the simple, clean lines of their Roman past. The architect Filippo Brunelleschi came up with a solution. The Duomo is actually two domes. The inner dome is made of sandstone and marble. The outer dome is made of brick-and-mortar—each brick carefully designed, shaped, and fired to support the dome. The dome was constructed without any supports beneath it and was an immediate success with Brunelleschi becoming the chief architect associated with the Renaiss...

Here are 7 foods you've probably been storing wrong your entire life:

Image
1. Storing yours eggs in their original carton on a shelf in the fridge keeps them fresh at least 3-4 weeks past the sell-by date. TIP: don't store your eggs on the door – this makes them more susceptible to temperature changes. 2. Store milk in the very back of the fridge where it's the coolest. 3. Always put your leftovers in the fridge within 2 hours after cooking it. Use a wide and shallow container and don't keep the leftovers for more than five days. 4. Store apples in plastic bags in the fridge. If you're storing apple slices, squeeze some lemon juice on them to prevent them from turning brown. 5. Do not wash your mushrooms before storing them. Place them in a paper bag in the fridge and keep them dry. 6. Keep your grapes in the bag you bought them in and wrap them with paper towel. This will absorb any moisture which could cause mold to grow. Don't wash them until you eat them. 7. Separate your bananas and wrap each ...

Wimbledon 2017: Garbine Muguruza Defeat's Venus Williams in women's final

Image
We have been living in an era where age has appeared to be no barrier to success, but youth had its day here on Centre Court as Garbine Muguruza ended Venus Williams’ hopes of becoming the oldest women’s Wimbledon champion in the Open era. The meeting of the 23-year-old Spaniard and the 37-year-old American had been expected to be a tight battle between two ferocious ball-strikers, but after a tense first set the match became a brutally one-sided contest as Muguruza won 7-5, 6-0 in just 77 minutes. In an extraordinary turnaround in fortunes, Muguruza saved two set points at 4-5 in the first set and then won nine games in a row to claim her first Wimbledon title, two years after losing to Williams’ sister, Serena, in her first Grand Slam final. She is the first player to have beaten both sisters in Grand Slam finals. Muguruza, who went on to win her first Grand Slam title at last year’s French Open, proved again that she is a player for the big occasion. The world No 15, w...
