Image Craft's ICON Themed Environments division created this new suite of office furniture, custom designed for our recently expanded Colorado office, now located in Centennial.
Shown here in various stages of production are a reception desk, media wall with podium, conference room table, storage and display credenzas, and more! The furnishings, primarily composed of shop ply and MDF, feature a zebra wood laminate with folkstone gray and matte black laminate work surfaces.
This project was produced entirely in-house in our Phoenix headquarters, from design to fabrication, and ultimately, through on-site installation. Backlit lettering and graphics are also part of the overall concept, and will be the final addition. We'll add more photos here as the project progresses.

Thousands turn out in Melbourne to support a price on pollution
Saturday, 12 March 2011
With just one weekʼs notice, 7,500 Melbournians converged on the cityʼs Treasury Place this morning to demonstrate their support for swift and effective action to reduce greenhouse pollution.
“Australians donʼt want our parliamentarians thinking that a vocal minority of negative naysayers speak for Australia – so we took to the street and made our voice heard,” GetUp National Director Simon Sheikh said.
“This is the year to put a price on the biggest polluting industries, and use that money to invest in clean energy, and helping lower-income families adjust to.”
The rally was called for to counter an anti-carbon tax protest being conducted on the other side of Melbourne, outside Prime Minister Gillardʼs electoral office in Werribee. That protest is estimated to have involved just 150 people.
The message out of the pro-action rally is a resounding “yes” to putting a limit and price on pollution, and investing in a rapid transition to a clean energy economy.
Australian Conservation Foundation Climate Change Campaigner Claire Maries said, “With just a weeksʼ notice, the people of Melbourne have come out in force to demonstrate their support for action on climate change – starting with a price on pollution.”
“Australians have been waiting for four years for the Labor Government to deliver its promises to take action on climate change,” Kelly OʼShannessy, the CEO of Environment Victoria said. “They have marched in their tens of thousands, and todayʼs crowd is a drop in the ocean of support across the country for putting a limit
and price on pollution”
“We hope that all members of parliament heed very clearly our message today,” Ellen Sandell, Director of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition said. “Australians are saying ʻyesʼ to a limit and price on pollution; saying ʻyesʼ to just transitions and a clean energy future; saying ʻyesʼ to meeting our international responsibilities with pride and goodwill.”

Out of the total precipitation reaching Nigeria, it can be separated into green and blue water. Green water (79% of the precipitation) represents the fraction of rainfall that generates soil moisture and which supports terrestrial ecosystems. It is not returned to groundwater and rivers, but will eventually evaporate or transpire through plants. Blue water, on the other hand, represents the fraction (21%) of the precipitation that runs into rivers and aquifers, and that has a potential for withdrawal for societal use. Out of this, the environmental water flow is the amount of water needed to sustain ecosystem services. In the case of Nigeria, there is a huge potential to increase the withdrawal for irrigation and food production to meet current and future needs.

ENVIRONMENT: Wanted - An Effective Multilateral System
NUSA DUA, Indonesia, Mar 3, 2010 (IPS) - The echoes of failure still sounding from the Copenhagen summit on climate change in December are spurring efforts to reform the international legal framework. Civil society groups are demanding a new, more agile system that is both influential and effective.
Scientists from the University of Utah traveled to Canada's Gros Morne National Park to study microbial lifeforms and rock metamorphosis. The researchers used a YSI Pro Plus water quality meter and flow cell to sample the temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, ORP and conductivity of the streams. The data provide important information of the environment supporting the microbial lifeforms.

This collection presents a breathtaking journey through diverse terrestrial biomes, reimagining the raw beauty of our planet through a synthetic lens. From the ethereal golden mists of a waking forest and the crystalline clarity of alpine rivers to the jagged, volcanic scars of primordial lands and the vibrant, sun-drenched cathedrals of coral reefs. Each environment is a study in light, texture, and atmospheric depth, blending hyper-realistic detail with a touch of the sublime. These landscapes explore the intersection of classical nature photography aesthetics and the boundless possibilities of modern generative tools, offering a contemplative look at worlds both familiar and imagined.

The Strumica River Basin is one of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia’s most vulnerable regions to climate change.
By 2020, water demands in the Strumica River Basin are expected to increase by 40 percent, while extreme weather events – such as floods and droughts – are also expected to become more frequent.

Back in the spring, our editor Daniel Kelly took a trip to Sippo Lake in Stark County, Ohio. Park managers are studying water quality after recent sediment load reduction efforts. As a part of the study, local high schools and colleges are using the lake to create place-based learning opportunities.
