An elderly Chinese woman carried two pots on a pole across her neck each day to fetch water - one pot was perfect while the other had a crack, causing it to only deliver half as much water. After two years, the cracked pot apologized for its imperfection but the woman revealed she had planted flowers along the cracked pot's side of the path, which it had watered each day, allowing her to decorate her home with beautiful flowers. She explained that it was the cracks in each person that make life rewarding.
This document describes two rare weather phenomena: ice balls and snow rollers. Ice balls occur along shores after heavy snowfalls, where waves turn snow to ice balls up to the size of footballs. Snow rollers are cylindrical snow formations that form when a 2cm layer of powdery snow glides easily on ice or frozen surfaces under winds of 40km/h, causing snow to roll into cylinders up to 70cm in diameter. Both require specific temperature and environmental conditions to form.

This document summarizes an amusement park located at the top of the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas. It has 4 attractions: 1) A rollercoaster at the very top of the 350-meter tower. 2) An elevator that rises to the top and then rapidly descends, simulating up to 4 times normal gravity. 3) An enclosed slide that simulates the feeling of entering outer space. 4) A spinning chair that rotates at high speed, exposing riders to centrifugal forces up to 3G. The unusual location of these thrill rides atop one of the tallest towers in Las Vegas provides a unique amusement experience.
