  In this 2026 interview with Justine Willis Toms, Artist and iconographer Angela Manno, creator of the Sacred Biodiversity Oracle, offers a profound invitation into this awareness through a deck of 36 cards portraying animals and plants from around the world. Her luminous paintings shimmer with quiet, radical devotion to the living Earth, encouraging us to encounter other beings and ecosystems as sacred presences rather than distant “resources.”  
  Environmental leader Bill McKibben has described her work as “Powerful reminders of the beauty and holiness of the world we are destroying, and of our duty to protect what remains.”  
  Angela Manno is an award-winning visual artist based in New York City whose work weaves together spirituality, ecology, and contemporary iconography. A Bard College graduate, she also studied at the San Francisco Art Institute and Parsons School of Design. She has also trained in Byzantine-Russian iconography with master Vladislav Andrejev. Her work has been exhibited at major institutions, including the Smithsonian, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, and NASA’s collections. She is especially known for her series Contemporary Icons of Threatened and Endangered Species.  
  Interview Date: 1/9/2026.   Tags: Angela Manno, Thomas Berry, Byzantine-Russian iconography, Viso Divina, Maasai lion guardians, Jane Goodall, conservation, environmental stewardship, Sundance ritual, Sandra Steingraber, Art & Creativity, Ecology/Nature/Environment, Meditation, Personal Transformation

  Types of UFOs Observed in History

  My goal in this book is to show the different types of UFOs reported throughout history and today. 
  I’m not trying to prove whether these ships are real or not. I just thought that given the many thousands of sightings of UFOs there should be some commonalities between the sightings. 
  Some of the questions I want to answer include: 
  Are there any trends in these sightings? 
  Is there an evolution in the design of these vehicles over time? 
  Are there some common designs over time? 
  Also, some of the UFOs sighted are likely fakes or secret projects built by the US government. I tried to show that information too. 
  Just due to the number of stars in our galaxy I’m convinced that Aliens exist and have probably visited our planet thousands or even millions of year in the past-in addition to visiting in the present. 
  This collection of historical photos, drawings, and descriptions should provide you with a narrative as to how these sightings have changed over time.

  Ice Age The: The History and...

  The early history of Earth covers such vast stretches of time that years, centuries, and even millennia become virtually meaningless. Instead, paleontologists and scientists who study geochronology divide time into periods and eras.  
  	What humans commonly refer to as the “Ice Age” is actually a series of fluctuating climate events that have occurred throughout the planet’s history. These ongoing historical phenomena are difficult to conceptualize because of both the time frame involved and the natural process by which they cyclically unfold. The Earth’s climatic clock repeats the maneuver over millions of years per occurrence, a number that is intellectually graspable, but not viscerally well-perceivable by most members of the human race. The process by which ice ages form is not relevant to any societal function, and therefore remains a mystery. Those who attempt to define it are often met with either apathy or defiant superstition. 
  	As a basic definition, it may be said that an ice age is simply a period of time during which thick ice sheets cover vast areas of land. These sheets have advanced and retreated, at times taking over the entire planet, and conversely disappearing nearly altogether. Glacial ice formed by this regularly occurring process does not sit in a state of inertia, but moves dynamically, reshaping the geological features of the continents. Again, the time frame for glacial movement is far longer than any involving human activity, so close attention must be paid in order to correctly measure and interpret it for the modern day.

  Six Interesting Facts about the Heart 
  1. Heart and circulatory diseases cause a quarter of all deaths in the UK, that’s more than 170,000 deaths each year – an average of 480 deaths each day or one every three minutes in the UK⁵. 
  2. There are around 7.6 million people living with a heart or circulatory disease in the UK: 4 million men and 3.6 million women⁵. 
  3. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of heart disease. It is the most common cause of heart attack and was the single biggest killer of both men and women worldwide in 2019⁵. 
  4. In the US, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups¹. One person dies every 33 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular disease¹. 
  5. About 695,000 people in the United States died from heart disease in 2021—that’s 1 in every 5 deaths¹. 
  6. The most common type of heart disease in the USA is coronary artery disease (CAD), in which the major blood vessels to the heart become narrow or blocked with cholesterol and fatty build-up. CAD affects 18.2 million adults, and shockingly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that every two in ten deaths from CAD happen in people under 65 years old².
