Snow Roller

We just learned about what a blizzard is.

Another type of weather is called a snow roller.

When there is a strong enough wind and the right kinds of snow are piled on top of each other, the wind can blow some small chunks of snow around and it can collect into larger and larger snow balls. This is the same kind of snow rolling used in making snowmen, but this is just done with no one else around.

Sometimes it makes a ball just like making a snowman, and sometimes it makes a long roll like a carpet being rolled up.

Iliac Veins

We've now learned about all of the veins that come up from the foot and up the leg.

The Plantar and Dorsal digital veins in the toes go up to the Metatarsal Veins and Dorsal venous arch in the foot.
The Great Saphenous Vein goes all the way from the ankle up to the pelvis.
The Small Saphenous Vein goes from the ankle up to the Tibial and Fibular veins in the lower leg, to the Popliteal Vein in the knee, and then the Femoral Vein in the thigh.

All of those veins bring deoxygenated blood from the toes up and out of the legs.

After the legs, the blood goes to the iliac veins in the pelvis area right above the legs.

Paul's Letter to the Phillipians

We just learned about Paul's letter to the church in Ephesus

Another letter Paul wrote was to a church in a town called Philippi, a city in Greece.

In this letter, Paul was giving instructions to people about how to live, to obey God and to serve him.

A famous part of the book of Philipians is:

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Fruit Dish on a Checkered Tablecloth - Gris

We just learned about the famous work of art Houses at L'Estaque by French painter Georges Braque.

Another famous work of art is the painting Houses at Fruit Dish on a Checkered Tablecloth by Spanish painter Juan Gris in 1917.

Juan Gris's painting is a part of the Cubism style of Abstract Art, where the painter liked to use lines and triangles to try to show a different side of a picture, making it look very strange, but still very interesting.
