As I've seen it! It's a good idea but does not really interest me. It's somehow I'd like to use images in a clearer vision. But watercolor effects is good but it actually differentiate in many color scales depending on the image you use or taken and turn it into watercolor effects. Well if you can manage to do so well then it will look perfectly. I'm pretty sure it will be fun for you.

Submission + - Elephants Have Learned to 'Understand Human' (sciencemag.org)

Submitted by sciencehabit
sciencehabit writes: Whether we realize it, African elephants are listening to us. The pachyderms can tell certain human languages apart and even determine our gender, relative age, and whether we’re a threat, according to a new study. The work illustrates how elephants can sometimes protect themselves from human actions. The work may be helpful in preventing “human-elephant conflicts where the species co-exist,” says Joshua Plotnik, a behavioral ecologist at Mahidol University, Kanchanaburi, in Thailand. For instance, elephants might be deterred from entering farmland or encouraged to stick to the corridors designed for their use. “The trouble is elephants are too smart to be fooled by us for long.”

It will no longer be useful. But the most wisest thing to do is? Just be watchful of your important belongings.

Submission + - Smell of forest pine can limit climate change (bbc.com)

Submitted by Solo-Malee
Solo-Malee writes: New research suggests a strong link between the powerful smell of pine trees and climate change. Scientists say they've found a mechanism by which these scented vapours turn into aerosols above boreal forests. These particles promote cooling by reflecting sunlight back into space and helping clouds to form...According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), they "continue to contribute the largest uncertainty to estimates and interpretations of the Earth's changing energy budget."
