Human Spaceflight: Doing Science in Space
Astronauts spend some of their time in space doing scientific research. The vantage point there is good for observational science, and the microgravity environment in an orbiting spacecraft is an interesting place to do physical and biological experiments.
While some types of scientific research in space can be automated, others benefit from the expertise of astronauts. The Apollo astronauts performed geological research while on the moon. Soviet cosmonauts performed experiments on board the Salyut series of space stations beginning in 1971. Scientist-astronauts did research in Skylab, an orbital workshop and observatory occupied in 1973-74, and Spacelab, a science facility carried in the Space Shuttle during the 1980s and 1990s. International crews also did science on board the space station Mir at the time. Spacelab turned the Shuttle into a temporary space station until a permanent research facility -- the International Space Station -- was ready.
Geology on the Moon
On the Moon, astronauts used standard equipment and techniques for geological research. They collected rock samples, drilled core samples of soil, made measurements, and recorded data much as geologists on Earth do. This equipment was modified slightly to allow for handling with spacesuit gloves.
Studying the Sun from Skylab
Astronauts took turns working at the control console for the solar observatory (the Apollo Telescope Mount) attached to the Skylab orbital workshop. From this instrument panel in the Multiple Docking Adapter module, they monitored the Sun and operated cameras and telescopes to record sunspots and solar flares.
A Laboratory in Space
Working inside Spacelab on 16 different Shuttle missions, astronauts from several countries conducted hundreds of experiments. Among the most successful were investigations in the life and materials sciences.

These reliefs demonstrate human-headed and bird-headed Apkallu. Apkallu means 'sage' in Akkadian. An Apkallu was a protective spirit which protected the king and those in the palace from evil spirits. Apkallu figures are often shown beside doorways and in corners of rooms since these areas were where evil spirits were thought to lurk.
Some Apkallus hold a an object which is called a 'banduddu'. Banduddu means 'bucket' in Akkadian. Some people think that it was used in a ceremony where a 'mullilu' was dipped into liquid which was sprinkled on the king and his courtiers to purify them.
Mullilu means 'purifier' in Akkadian. Some people think that it was used in a ceremony where a 'mullilu' was dipped into liquid which was sprinkled on the king and his courtiers to purify them.
Apkallus also wear sandals which were probably the most common type of footwear worn in Mesopotamia. They would have been woven out of reeds or made out of leather. The sandals on this wall relief still have traces of the original paint on them.

"Animality: Can Humans Think Like Animals?" Display, Q&A
What happens when a chimp takes hold of temporality? This question drives the performance art work Santino’s Gift. The project began with Santino the chimpanzee who likes to throw rocks at visitors to the Furuvik Zoo in Sweden. What is strikingly uncommon about Santino is his forethought in collecting the rocks before visitors arrive. The preeminent philosopher Martin Heidegger uses forethought as the scaffolding for explaining human uniqueness in his work Being and Time. Visualizing a future allows humans to plan and build, to make objects function as equipment toward future ends, and to fashion technology.
In response to the chimp’s rupturing human preeminence, scientists studied and reported on the his ability while the zoo keepers castrated Santino as a mode of control over his behavior and future plans. Santino’s Gift is an art project designed to give Santino a present which he can make use of while in confinement and down on his luck. In Santino’s Gift Assistant Professor of English Ron Broglio spent part of an afternoon wrapping a copy of Being and Time and fitting it into a hand-crafted wooden box. The present along with an accompanying letter have been mailed to Santino care of the Furuvik Zoo. Broglio is awaiting a response and hopes Santino likes the work. vimeo.com/18804341

Human-wildlife conflict is on the rise in the DRC as a growing population expands into areas of importance for biodiversity.
Many species, including endangered ones, are threatened by unregulated and unsustainable bush meat hunting. Estimates suggest that between 1.1 and 1.7 million tonnes of bush meat are consumed in the DRC each year, for a total value of over USD 1 billion per year. The exact extent of the problem, however, remains undocumented, preventing it from being properly managed. Equally, sustained international demand for ivory continues to place pressure on the DRC’s elephant
population, which has dropped from about 62,000 in 2002 to about 23,000 in 2006.

Viande de brousse, RDC
En RDC, la rivalité entre l’homme et la faune sauvage s'aggrave car une population croissante s’étend dans des zones importantes pour la biodiversité.
La chasse incontrôlée et non durable pour la viande de brousse menace de nombreuses espèces, dont, bien sûr, celles qui sont déjà en voie de disparition. La consommation annuelle de viande de brousse en RDC serait de 1,1 à 1,7 million de tonnes, soit plus d’un milliard de dollars US. L’étendue exacte du problème demeure cependant peu documentée, ce qui complique sa gestion. De la même manière, la demande internationale soutenue pour l’ivoire continue d’exercer une pression sur le nombre d’éléphants de la RDC, qui a chuté d’environ 62 000 en 2002 à environ 23 000 en 2006.

Human Nature: The Motown Show
Talk about being in the right place and right time… I was lucky enough to shoot Human Nature on the 10th of November 2014. Bright, colourful and always moving.. it was a challenge and not with my favourite equipment.. but I am pretty happy.
Here’s a little about the show.. Enjoy the photos!
Voted “Best Singers” by the Las Vegas Review Journal and Trip Advisor’s #1 show in Las Vegas, Human Nature: The Motown Show is one show not to be missed.
The critically acclaimed quartet puts a modern twist on classic Motown hits, featuring songs by the Four Tops, the Supremes, the Temptations, Stevie Wonder, and more. They’ll have you dancing and singing in the aisles as you remember exactly why these songs are timeless. “Stop! in the Name of Love”, “Reach Out”, “ABC” and “My Girl” are just a few of the Motown favourites you’ll hear during this 90-minute, high-energy trip down memory lane.
Presented by Smokey Robinson

After I was crowned Miss Human Rights, my first duty was to bestow upon my subjects the fruits (or fungi) of their labors.
I don't get it either.
When was the last time you have studied the Declaration of Human Rights?
Today is a good day to find a few minutes to read and refresh your memory
(Link Attachment)
The UN General Assembly proclaimed 10 December as Human Rights Day in 1950, to bring to the attention ‘of the peoples of the world’ the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations.
This year’s slogan, Human Rights 365,encompasses the idea that every day is Human Rights Day. It celebrates the fundamental proposition in the Universal Declaration that each one of us, everywhere, at all times is entitled to the full range of human rights, that human rights belong equally to each of us and bind us together as a global community with the same ideals and values.
