Remember when Coca-Cola first rolled out Vanilla Coke? Get ready for a fruity remix. Later this month, Coca-Cola will be introducing a new spin on a classic flavor combo: Vanilla Orange Coke. The drink it set to hit store shelves Feb. 25 and will be available as regular Coke and Coke Zero Sugar.

Each of those little straight roads in the background replicate some section of local highway, like Pontiac Trail or the various "mile" roads.

Flexible wheels that bend but don't break. Michelin and Maxion Wheels have created this flexible wheel. To eliminate road-based damage to tires and rims. The Maxion flexible wheels are made with Michelin Acorus Tech. Designed with rubber so that they bend instead of break, they absorb impact from potholes and curbs. Maxion Wheels says this flexibility also improves ride comfort. The flexible wheel is designed to work with any brand of tire.

Michelin has been working on similar concepts for a long time. I have an old pic somewhere of an integrated tire/wheel that is flexible.
Makes more sense to have the tire and wheel separate so you don't have to pitch the whole thing when the tires tread is gone.

A Rare Bird Indeed: A Cardinal That’s Half Male, Half Female

Researchers believe that the cardinal is a rare bilateral gynandromorph, half male and half female. Not much is known about the unusual phenomenon, but this sexual split has been reported among birds, reptiles, butterflies and crustaceans.
