Text description provided by the architects. The Red Cedar Lake residence is a modern architectural home fused with the natural landscape. Departing from the traditional aesthetics of the clients Cass Gilbert-designed Saint Paul home, they envisioned a contemporary, open-concept cabin harmonizing with nature. The selected site, abundant in wild beauty, offered expansive lake views and secluded inlets. The design concept divided the land into two zones: a meticulously landscaped area surrounding the house and the untouched remainder left in its natural state.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Approaching the residence, visitors encounter a prominent high point that conceals the house from the road, unveiling a trap rock courtyard. A wooden portal serves as the threshold to the home, framing a panorama of the lake. For those not entering immediately, a network of concrete lily pads leads to a path to the water's edge, or an inviting portal to the east providing access to the private realm and an ADA accessible route to the water.Save this picture!Save this picture!The house is organized along an east-west axis, anchored by a low masonry wall to the north, ensuring privacy within the courtyard while providing structural support to a distinctive shed roof. This architectural feature gracefully ascends with glulam beams, maximizing the connection to the lake and its expansive views. A charred wood structure, oriented along a north-south axis, effectively demarks the boundary between the public and private spaces of the home.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Inside, blackened steel and glulam tread stairs guide one upwards to a guest loft with Douglas Fir bunks, natural cork floors, and Birchbark wallcovering. Living spaces unfold to the west along the central spine of the structure, transitioning to an expansive patio and a screened porch. Here, a fireplace with a custom blackened steel hearth, bench, and wood box serves as a focal point, while the dining and kitchen areas on the western edge connect to the porch through oversized double swinging doors and a custom pass-through window to a bar on the porch.Save this picture!The outdoor areas are designed to provide a spectrum of experiences. A native groundcover slope leads to a raised fire pit and a serene family beach, while a Corten-edged pathway guides visitors westward to a boathouse and a discreet water toy dock. Save this picture!Save this picture!On the eastern flank of the residence, the primary bedroom seemingly floats above the ground, boasting a private balcony where tranquil sunrise breakfasts and sightings of local wildlife in a small clearing are a daily delight. An accessible path led to a quick dip in the lake, followed by a rejuvenating sauna and an invigorating outdoor shower before breakfast. Beyond the house and courtyard, a network of trails reveals a secluded dock tucked away in a tranquil inlet bay, a family volleyball court for spirited recreation, and a unique storage shed featuring a 12-foot-wide screen wall providing vistas of a forest glade.Save this picture!

Anyone who has witnessed a total solar eclipse has likely also noticed the sounds of silence accompanying “totality”. People have long reported anecdotally that birds stop chirping as the day suddenly darkens.Recording the Sounds of an EclipseA study examining how birds responded to the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, systematically confirms that trend and expands upon it. The birds don’t go completely silent until 99 percent of the sun is obscured, according to a study published in Scientific Reports.The study does two things that previous efforts haven’t accomplished. First, it took humans out of the equation because the presence of people could affect the birds’ reactions. Second, it used remote acoustic monitoring, which not only eliminates human distraction but also allows for a more comprehensive, systematic way to gather birdsong data.Remote Bird Song RecordingResearchers placed 344 acoustic monitoring devices called “Haikuboxes” in the field to record birdsong before, during, and after the eclipse. They noticed differences in how the birds responded when humans were also heard, so they eliminated data from those sites.“Our first, quick look at Haikubox data just a few hours after the eclipse showed a large dip in bird vocalizations around the time of peak totality,” David Mann, a researcher at Loggerhead Instruments (the company that builds Haikuboxes) and an author of the study, said in a press release. “When we dove deeper into the data and removed any sites where humans may have influenced the birds’ behaviors, we found a much more complicated story. People were pretty excited about the total solar eclipse, and their celebrations likely affected the birds’ reactions,” Mann added in the release. Unexpected FindingsWith humans removed from the equation, the recordings DID show that birds quieted — but were only completely silent during “totality”.Another unexpected finding showed varied responses between bird species and even different responses from the same species at different sites. For example, black-capped chickadees in a New York State location were quiet until well after totality, but the same species in Vermont increased their vocalizations during and immediately after peak totality“The variability in bird responses and site differences was fascinating,” Mann said. “We really don’t know why birds had such different responses to the total darkness during the eclipse. Despite examining factors like temperature, cloud cover, and wind speed, we found no significant relationship with changes in vocalization rates. This strongly suggests that the sudden total darkness and associated changes in wind and temperature were the primary drivers of the observed behavioral shifts.”Article SourcesOur writers at Discovermagazine.com use peer-reviewed studies and high-quality sources for our articles, and our editors review for scientific accuracy and editorial standards.

Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 How does your mouth taste right now? Still got some lingering lunch essence hanging around? Gross, right? I bet a session with the Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser sounds pretty good right now. Luckily, Amazon has it on sale for just $60, down from its regular price of $100. I have only seen it get close to this price once this year, during the special Big Spring Sale that Amazon put on. If you want to step up your dental hygiene routine, grab one now and liberate that popcorn shell stuck between your teeth ever since you went to see Nosferatu in the theater. Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser — $60 (was $100) Waterpik Flossing is the worst, but this water-based device makes it simple and pain-free. It has 10 different modes for various levels of gum massage and teeth cleaning. It’s specifically designed to reach between your teeth to scrub the spots a brush typically can’t reach. The automatic timer offers sessions between 30 seconds and one minute for personalized cleaning schedules. I wasn’t sold on the idea of a water-based flosser for a long time, and then I tried one. I think it feels way better than typical floss (which you should still use once in a while), and leaves my mouth feeling cleaner overall. This model comes with seven tips so everyone in your house can have their own. Don’t share them. That’s gross.

Comet SWAN25F was discovered using photos from the European Space Agency's SOHO spacecraft and can currently be spied using backyard equipment — but it could also become visible to the naked eye in the next few weeks.
