In the quest to better understand the birth of stars and the formation of new worlds, astronomers have used NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to examine the massive stars contained in a cloudy region called Sharpless 140. This cloud is a star-forming microcosm that exhibits, within a relatively small area, all of the classic manifestations of stellar birth.
Sharpless 140 lies almost 3,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cepheus. At its heart is a cluster of three deeply embedded young stars, which are each several thousand times brighter than the sun. Though they are strikingly visible in this image from Spitzer's infrared array camera, they are completely obscured in visible light, buried within the core of the surrounding dust cloud.
The extreme youth of at least one of these stars is indicated by the presence of a stream of gas moving at high velocities. Such outflows are signatures of the processes surrounding a star that is still gobbling up material as part of its formation.
The bright red bowl, or arc, seen in this image traces the outer surface of the dense dust cloud encasing the young stars. This arc is made up primarily of organic compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which glow on the surface of the cloud. Ultraviolet light from a nearby bright star outside of the image is "eating away" at these molecules. Eventually, this light will destroy the dust envelope and the masked young stars will emerge.

I took this as we were leaving the Screaming Heads (www.atlasobscura.com/places/midlothian-castle) near Burk's Falls, Ontario.
My boyfriend hoards domain names. He is not alone. It is a growing epidemic.
I’m not talking about those who buy domain names to sell on for inflated prices in the future, no, this kind of hoarder is really ever so tragic; each name registered is a business idea, a concept for a company that could be ‘the one’ the idea that makes them millions and changes their life forever. They accrue dozens of names and guard them like a mummy bird her clutch of eggs, but the eggs never hatch.
They go through the initial euphoria and excitement of thinking up a genius business name after a few pints, their eyes light up and glaze a little as they project themselves onto the yacht in Monaco that they will buy with the profits. Then they feel a searing panic. . . what if someone gets there first and takes all the domain names?! They go immediately online, while ordering the next round and buy up every possible domain name connected to the genius idea. The problem is, the genius idea is really just a name, a www dot. Rome wasn’t built on a domain name.
The rest of the idea, the actual business, the work part of it is so incredibly dull and too vast a proposition to think about, “Nah nah, let’s not worry about the details right now, I’ve got another one; a offal restaurant with a comprehensive menu of wretch inducing cuts, it would be called ‘Offaly Versatile’ .
Dragon’s Den needs to evolve with the times. Nobody has the time, money, or patience to actually ‘set up’ a business and strive to make it a success. We are all ‘ideas’ people now, nothing is real, nothing is tangible, it’s all talk/text/tweet/cloud. Therefore the Dragons should just invite people in to stand before them and announce all of the domain names that they have bought and describe the kind of business that they might be if they actually existed. Then the dragons would invest money into the domain names they like and then the world will no longer trade using money, but domain names.
Is it the greedy child in us that makes us hoard these potentially worthless things? During the playground years there were frequent phases of collecting and swapping of the latest trading cards and stickers. Kids would arrive in the morning; grey flannel pockets bulging with fat wads of leg-warmed dog-eared cardboard held together by an elastic band. We were human rolodexes, each child’s pile organised and re-organised at 5-minute intervals, we could shuffle a deck like a croupier at the Bellagio.
Garbage Pail Kids were the ‘Pokemon’ of the eighties – macabre, controversial and banned by our school, the playground was filled with the cries of ‘Got it, got it, got it, need it, got it, need it.’ Shrewd negotiation skills were learnt at a young age and there were always the kids with tons of doubles who wouldn’t swap with anyone because they enjoyed the power of having something someone else wanted.
“You’ve got three Juicy Lucy’s, I’ll give you three of my best cards for one of them.”
“I’ve got 4 actually.”
“Great, well can we swap?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Just cos.”
“I’m going to set my brother on you.”
In grown up land it seems some of us have the same tendency, to hang onto something we can’t really use but we don’t want anyone else to have either. Just imagine if you bought a domain name, held it for a year, let it go and then the very next person to buy it sets up a business and makes trillions – that’s a suicide inducer right there. It’s like entering the lottery – if you enter with the same numbers every week you are buggered – you must always enter every single draw of the 29 draws they seem to have a week with the same numbers, without fail, if your numbers come up the one week you don’t enter, then your life is over.
Incidentally even our Mother ship Flickr suffered at the hands of these hoarders!
As Kai Ryssdal on www.marketplace.org said:
“Ever wonder why the address for the photo-sharing website Flickr doesn't have an E in it? It's because -- and this is a true story -- the founder liked the name "flicker" -- E, R -- but couldn't negotiate the rights to it. The guy who had it wouldn't sell. So, Caterina Fake improvised and came up with the next best thing. Cyber-squatting, as it's known, has led to a whole spate of oddly-spelled company names and web addresses.”
In infant school I adored my ‘word tin’. Every child was given an old tobacco tin and in it they accrued words written on little pieces of old cereal box. Once a week we would have to go up to the teacher’s desk with our tin and she would prize it slowly open releasing a raisin waft and hold up each piece of card while we would have to read the word. As we progressed she would write longer, harder words, ever so carefully, in really childish writing on new bits of chopped up grey cardboard. And off we would go with our collection accumulating.
I think my boyfriend needs a domain name tin – the only time he remembers which domains he has bought is when he gets a reminder email telling him he needs to renew his contract, “God, when did I register plumpiercings.com!!? Don’t let me drink and domain name shop again.”
I need to go through his tin of domains with him once a week whilst wearing a cardigan and thick rimmed glasses on a string so that he doesn’t forget all of the potential multi-million pound businesses he could be forming, and I will add a few new ones in there that I have in mind:
Killingspiders.com – a law firm specialising in divorce. To dream of killing spiders means you are in a bad relationship. (The domain name is actually already taken – but not utilised!)
Bikerious.com – bisexual biker website.
Poohpourri.com – pot pourri made from recycled scented animal dung.
Incidentally I just browsed a few potential domain names to purchase:
Domainnamehoarder.com – already taken!
Whyhaveiboughtthisdomainname.com - available
Ihaveanitchybottom.com – available – how surprising.
