Established in 2007 by Italian-Swiss director Daniele Finzi Pasca, Nebbia explores the world of dreams and the imaginary. In the fog you get lost, you find each other, but above all, you are confronted with the unexpected… Nebbia, meaning “fog” in Italian.

Bear Saves Drowning Crow Amazing footage of a bear saving a crow from drowning in a Budapest Zoo pond. Seeing animals helping other animals really gives me a warm feeling. I have heard it said that whenever an act of kindness takes place, the giver, the receiver, and even all witnesses experience an increase of endorphins that activate areas of the brain that are associated with pleasure, social connection and trust. These feelings of joyfulness have been proven to be contagious, encouraging more acts of kindness by the giver and recipient. 🙂
Contrary To Popular Belief, Today Is NOT Pi Day In the late 16th century, Pope Gregory implemented the “Gregorian calendar” that we use today. The 12 months of the year are labeled starting with January as the first month, February the second, etc, with our New Year being Jan. 1st.
