"All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the children of the earth." - Chief Seattle, 1854
Rocky planets may be able to form in harsher environments than we thought. Webb detected key building blocks of planets, including water and carbon dioxide, in a rocky planet-forming zone being hit by extreme amounts of ultraviolet radiation.
Planets are formed from disks of gas, dust and rock surrounding stars. The specific disk Webb observed, XUE 1, is near several massive stars. These stars emit high levels of ultraviolet radiation, which scientists expected would disperse gas and break apart chemical molecules.
To the team’s surprise, Webb found partially crystalline silicate dust, plus various molecules (water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, acetylene) that can form rocky planets. It’s the first time such molecules have been detected under these extreme conditions.

This image: This spectrum shows data from the protoplanetary disk termed XUE 1, which is located in the star cluster Pismis 24. The inner disk around XUE 1 revealed signatures of water (highlighted here in blue), as well as acetylene (C2H2, green), hydrogen cyanide (HCN, brown), and carbon dioxide (CO2, red). As indicated, some of the emission detected was weaker than some of the predicted models, which might imply a small outer disk radius.

[Image description: Graphic titled “XUE 1 Irradiated Protoplanetary Disk, MIRI Medium -Resolution Spectroscopy” shows a graph of brightness on the y-axis versus wavelength of light in microns on the x-axis. An arrow pointing down along the y-axis reads “dimmer;” arrow pointing up reads “brighter.” (There are no values or tick marks on the y-axis.) The x-axis ranges from 13.3 microns on the left to 15.5 microns on the right, labeled in even increments of 0.5 microns, starting at 13.5. A key in the upper right corner shows that model data are plotted in purple and Webb data are plotted in white. Both the model and data form jagged lines with numerous peaks and valleys. The model and data do not match perfectly, but the general trends align. Four sets of peaks are highlighted and labeled. (1) Acetylene, C 2 H 2—highlighted in green; centered around 13.7 microns. (2) Hydrogen Cyanide, H C N—brown; 14.0 microns. (3) Water, H 2 O—blue; 14.2 microns. (4) Carbon Dioxide, C O 2—bright red; 14.95 microns.]

TITAN believes in protecting the environment whenever economically possible and technically feasible.
For several years we have reduced our use of non-sustainable rain forests for container floors. Almost all our new rental
containers over the past 3 years have been built using Bamboo flooring and where possible we ask for the same floor material in
new sales containers. Unfortunately many customers still insist on hardwood plywood floors but we are making progress.
Thinking "green" with TITAN helps the environment and saves you money!

Photo by Doug O'Neil. In Hobart yesterday evening, 40 Tasmanian community members gathered in solidarity with the people of Broome who oppose the proposed gas hub at James Price Point in far north Western Australia.
"We are joining a national day of action alongside people in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, to support the people of Broome in their fight to protect one of the most spectacular places in the world" said Jenny Weber of the Huon Valley Environment Centre.
The gathering was coordinated by Huon Valley Environment Centre and The Last Stand. 40 people held a candle light vigil while films from the protests about the proposed gas hub were projected on to a wall at Pier 1 at Macquarie Wharf in Salamanca.
"Tonight, the people of southern Tasmania are standing strong in spirit with this inspiring community in the far north west of the country. We are demonstrating our absolute support for these outstanding citizens who are taking a stand for the Kimberley, one of our most ecologically and spiritually significant landscapes" said Ula Majewski of The Last Stand.
More than 140 police officers have been flown to Broome to assist the company Woodside Petroleum's controversial $40 billion James Price Point gas hub, in resuming work.
The police are shepherding through Woodside machinery to the proposed gas hub site and a large contingent of riot police arrived.
"We are told stories about James Price Point by the people who are standing up to defend it. It is a place where there are globally significant dinosaur track-sites, humpback whales feeding and calving, greater bilbies breeding, an ancient Aboriginal song cycle that is shared with people from all over the world in an annual walk called the Lurujarri trail. It is an absolute disgrace that Woodside wants to destroy this magical place with an industrial gas," concluded Jenny Weber.

Premier John Horgan stepped outside to catch a glimpse of the solar eclipse. Hundreds of people gathered around the legislative lawns and the Royal BC Museum to view this once in a lifetime experience.
The Soviet development model for Central Asia was based on building large-scale irrigation schemes enabling the region to become a major cotton producer and expanding the mining and processing industry. Industrial operations in the region paid little attention to the environment and public health, resulting in the accumulation of pollutants in the local environment. Today, not only active industrial facilities constitute a threat to environment, and often to security as well, so does the legacy of past operators.

1 June 2014. El Fasher: People work on the production of tombac (chewing tobacco) at the market in El Fasher, North Darfur. Tombac, one of North Darfur’s major cash crops, has very prejudicial effects on the health of the workers.
The traditional markets for tombac include South Sudan, Blue Nile and South Kordofan states. Farmers assure four million people in Darfur are dependent on the cultivation and sale of tobacco. They claim that tobacco had been produced in the region since 1850.
Originally, the production of tombac started in Tombouctou (Mali) and later it was imported to Egypt and Darfur.
