Sunshine brightens the horizon

Tension rings the morning haze

The shuttle standing proud against the wind

Nose to distant stars her delta wings will never grace

Countdown, pulses race, the launch begins

 

Fly Columbia! Fly Columbia!

Columbia, the promise of better days to come

Columbia, new mistress of the sky

Sail in orbit free, track the moon and chase the sun

Fly Columbia! For humankind, fly!

 

Fly Columbia! Fly Columbia!

Thunder toward tomorrow on an oxygen stream

Thunder toward tomorrow; fire, flame, and rocket song!

Oxfam Advert

 

This was an Oxfam Advert I did for school, i'm a co-coordinator in the group, which is a branch of the official Newcastle Oxfam branch. We organise events and fund raising stuff in our school to help. This was to promote Oxfam in my school.

 

The concept was that the waves were human life, like pulses, their heartbeat and the light was a humans soul. The hand was saving the soul etc.

"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect."

— Chief Seattle

"The pursuit of happiness is the engine that moves humankind, that motivates us to study, to work, to marry and have children, to make friends, to pursue all sorts of worldly pleasures, to dream of the future, and sometimes to fight for social and financial status. Of all the goals we may pursue in life, happiness is the only one to have worth in itself; all the others—health, power, money, beauty, success—make sense only as means of achieving it. To many people, life would be unbearable without the belief that they can be happy."

(Hardwired for Happiness by Silvia Helena Cardoso)

Since the creation of humankind, war has been an inevitable part of our history. Through times, weapons and equipments become more and more sophisticated, but something has never changed: the raging bloodlust of men, seeking for the sweet taste of victory and revenge. Nothing can represent such idea as well as a mecha named Arthur. It has appeared in almost every battles that had occured since 1893 - the rising year of mecha technologies. While Arthur mostly just killed everyone insight, it peculiarly withholds its fury during wars with Britain's involvement. Subsequently, it usually takes side with the UK, eagerly and willingly battle for the nation. As such, many considered it, or rather who piloted it, to be an English. The robot earned its name due to its weapon: the long broadsword, and its bias for Britain coincide with the legendary hero King Arthur.

 

Note:

Finally getting back to mechas! My 6-month absence can be justified with the enrollment announcement from my top dream school: CNN. I spent 6 months to study hard for probably the most important exam in our country and finally got in my favorite school. So personally, this mech is built as a celebration to this event!

Armourquest: Genesis Volume 1

By Mark Allen

 

In an age of knights and dragons, when humankind is commonly terrorized by reptilian nightmares on leathery wings, a boy receives a sword; a sword which will lead him on his path to becoming a man and a knight, himself. In short, for those who enjoy great fantasy, Armorquest is for you.

 

Writer Ben Avery infuses his characters with rich three-dimensional qualities. None more so than Timothy, the main character of the book, a young man bitter over his father's death and eager to avenge it on the dragons. Equally interesting, though very limited in appearance, is the "shepherd" who gives Timothy his first glimpse into the amazing nature of the sword. Oops! There I go, giving more away. Let it suffice to say that if you want to bring readers back again and again, give them interesting characters with believable motivations and a little mystery. Avery does so quite well.

 

Then, of course, there's the art of Sherwin Schwartzrock. Drama. Emotion. Evocative imagery. All of that and more awaits those who have yet to feast their eyes on his work. His wonderful grasp of character expression lends a great deal of realism to the tale. Again, it's always good to help readers feel what the character feels. That, coupled with his ample (and appropriate, considering the subject matter) use of blacks, adding depth and a slight sense of the macabre to the artwork, helps make this one of the finest graphic novels I've seen this year. In fact, the cover itself is a gripping testament to Schwartzrock's talent, and is the main reason I stopped and picked it up, rather than moving on to one of the many more mundane choices on the racks.

 

Yep, Armorquest is where it's at, folks. And, in case you haven't already guessed, it's highly recommended. And, get this: it's recommended for all ages! Find it at comics shops and at online auctions.

The night sky is an astounding phenomenon that fascinates almost every individual. Stars have been around for thousands of years and yet, humankind is still mesmerized by their beauty. Despite the distance, we have such a strong connection and love for these great unknown entities. Capturing the magnificence of the night sky is highly rewarding and can be an exciting process as well.

PhylumArthropoda

OrderLepidoptera

FamilyNymphalidae

GenusDanaus (1)

 

This beautifully bright butterfly has captivated humankind’s attention since it was first depicted in an Egyptian tomb 3,500 years ago, making it the first ever butterfly to be recorded in history. Its striking tawny-orange colouration serves as a warning to predators that this species is distasteful, which ultimately deters predators from attacking (3). Framing the startlingly orange hues is a bold black border interlaced with white specks. At first sight the sexes appear very similar, although upon closer inspection one can see the males are slightly smaller than the females. The males can also be distinguished by the presence of a black scent-producing pouch located in the lower-centre of the hind wing; on the underside of the wing it appears as a white-centred black patch. In addition, the males have a pair of brush-like organs hidden within the abdomen, which are used in reproduction (2).

 

Similar to the adult butterfly, the plain tiger caterpillar has extremely vivid colouration which also acts as a warning signal protecting it from bird attacks. As the caterpillar grows it attains ten horizontal black bands interspersed with paired yellow spots, as well as acquiring three pairs of long, black, tentacle-like appendages, which sometimes become a deep crimson at the base (4). The fully grown caterpillar then forms a pupa which can range from a green-brown colour in a normal environment to a pink colour if the surroundings are dry or unnatural. A horizontal band of miniscule black and golden specks decorate the abdominal segment of the pupa (5).

Plain tiger biology

 

The plain tiger is able to breed throughout the year, but with greater frequency during or just after the monsoon season (4) (5). The female plain tiger is incredibly careful when laying eggs, and will feel out the leaf with her abdomen to test its suitability (2) (4). The female can lay up to 12 eggs on the same plant, although the eggs are laid singly to avoid overcrowding, usually on the undersides of leaves of the preferred milkweed species, Calotropis gigantea (2) (4) (5). After about five days the caterpillars hatch and devour the egg shell before proceeding to eat the leaves they were hatched on. The caterpillars are able to feed openly throughout the day due to their bright colouration which protects them from any nearby bird or reptile predators (4).

 

Due to feeding on an array of milkweed species, the plain tiger caterpillar accumulates unpalatable alkaloids which induce vomiting in its predators. These toxins are passed on to the adult through the pupal stage, where metamorphosis lasts six to seven days (4). Even when attacked, the plain tiger is blessed with having an extremely tough leathery skin which makes it harder to kill, and, if caught, it will play dead and release a nauseating smell. Whilst an inexperienced predator is still likely to attack, it will learn to avoid the plain tiger once experiencing how foul tasting it is. Another interesting habit of the plain tiger is its slow meandering flight, which gives a potential predator time to recognise the species before it makes the mistake of attacking (2) (5). Remarkably, other butterflies have learnt to mimic the plain tiger’s protection mechanisms in order to escape predation; one particularly good mimic is the female danaid eggfly (Hypolimnas misippus) (2) (6).

Plain tiger range

 

This butterfly has an extensive range and can be found throughout the Old World tropics, from Africa to Southeast Asia and even Australasia (1). Recently it has been discovered that there are three subspecies; Danaus chrysippus chrysippus is found in Asia and tropical Africa, Danaus chrysippus alcippus ranges from the Cape Verde Islands, across Africa to Oman, and Danaus chrysippus orientis is predominantly found in tropical Africa and the surrounding islands including Madagascar and the Seychelles (3).

 

Plain tiger habitat

 

The plain tiger inhabits open, fairly arid areas rather than the moisture drenched habitats typical of the jungles found in the Old World. Unlike other members of the Danaus genus, the plain tiger often flies in open sunlight, even at the hottest point of the day (2). Throughout its life as a caterpillar, it can be found wherever species of the milkweed family (Asclepiadoideae) grow, particularly on its favoured species, the crown flower (Calotropis gigantea) (4).

  

 

Edinburgh, the inspiring capital of Scotland, where centuries of history meet a vibrant, cosmopolitan city in an unforgettable setting which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of outstanding cultural or natural importance to the common heritage of humankind. "Edinburgh Old and New Towns" were together inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1996. The former includes the medieval Royal Mile which runs from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, and is bordered to the north by the neo-classical 18th century "New Town" which includes Princes Street. It is managed by the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust.
