20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA "NAUTILUS" REPLICA
50th Anniversary Commemorative
Designed and Coordinated by Kevin Kidney & Jody Daily
Research by Richard Allsmiller
Sculptors: Richard Allsmiller & William Babington
Paint Master by Jody Daily
Cast Resin, Metal, on Wood Base

Our 1/96 scale replica of the Nautilus, is the most accurate representation ever offered by the Disney Company. Model builders William Babington
and Rich Allsmiller, who both have a strong affection for the subject
matter, constructed the model with painstaking attention to detail.
Allsmiller, an expert on 20,000 Leagues and the Nautilus, and who shared a
close friendship with its original designer Harper Goff, authenticated the model to
be as correct as possible.
From Hat Matters series done in collaboration with Finnish millinery artists.

Bland rolling stock and overcast conditions, but a colourful livery and the tones and textures in the sky and the fields make for quite an attractive scene. 222014 forms 1C37, the 10.49 Sheffield - St Pancras East Midlands Trains service at Sawley on 3 July 2017.

Hubble has imaged a large, fuzzy-looking galaxy that is so diffuse astronomers call it a “see-through” galaxy because they can clearly see distant galaxies behind it.
The ghostly object, called NGC 1052-DF2, doesn’t have a noticeable central region, or even spiral arms and a disk, typical features of a spiral galaxy. But it doesn’t look like an elliptical galaxy, either.
These oddities pale in comparison to the weirdest aspect of this galaxy: NGC 1052-DF2 is missing most, if not all, of its dark matter. An invisible substance that makes up the bulk of our universe, dark matter is the underlying scaffolding upon which galaxies are built. It’s the glue that holds the visible matter in galaxies — stars and gas — together. The galaxy contains at most 1/400th the amount of dark matter that astronomers had expected.
The galactic oddball is as large as our Milky Way, but it had escaped attention because it contains only 1/200th the number of stars as our galaxy. Given the object’s large size and faint appearance, astronomers classify NGC 1052-DF2 as an ultra-diffuse galaxy.
Astronomers discovered this galaxy with the Dragonfly Telephoto Array, a custom-built telescope in New Mexico designed to find similar “ultra-diffuse” galaxies. They then used the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii to measure the motions of 10 giant groupings of stars called globular clusters in the galaxy. Keck revealed that the globular clusters were moving at relatively low speeds, less than 23,000 miles per hour. Stars and clusters in the outskirts of galaxies containing dark matter move at least three times faster. From those measurements, the team calculated the galaxy’s mass. According to the team, the stars in the galaxy can account for all of the mass, and if there is any dark matter, it’s very little.
The researchers then used Hubble and the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii to uncover more details about the unique galaxy.
NGC 1052-DF2 is estimated to be about 10 billion years old. It resides about 65 million light-years away.

Combating climate change and making the planet greener and cleaner is an issue for everyone. How times have changed since World Environment Day was launched by the United Nations General Assembly 36 years ago. We wonder if they considered then that today climate change and other environmental impacts would have such an impact on world hunger and poverty. The world has yet to figure out how it will deal with global warming, changing rainfall patterns, melting glaciers, rising sea-levels and climate refugees. In many countries defence forces might find themselves torn between humanitarian relief operations and guarding their borders against climate refugees, as climate change and scarce resources, forcing millions of climate refugees across the borders.
Climate change is expected to put an estimated 50 million more people at risk of hunger and water stress by 2020. It poses a serious threat to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially during a period of global economic recession, when resources needed to cope with climate change may be reassigned. Agriculture and deforestation account for 30 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions. These two sectors can therefore contribute to reducing emissions if agricultural practices are changed.
Poor people in developing countries are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The negative impacts on their crop yields are already being felt and will be increasingly severe. Climate change is likely to affect forest expansion and migration, and exacerbate threats to biodiversity resulting from land use/cover change and population pressure. Marine and coastal ecosystems are likely to be affected by sea level rise and temperature increases. Human health will also be adversely affected. Rising temperatures and rainfall variability had led to more climate-induced diseases and heat stress. Experts predict climate change-related stresses -- including disasters, food and water shortages and conflicts over scarce resources -- could permanently uproot 200 to 250 million people by mid-century.
United Nations demographers estimate that the world’s population will grow from today’s 6.7 billion people to somewhere between 7.8 billion and 10.8 billion by 2050. The solutions of global warming, climate refugees, extreme poverty and high levels of population growth will require entirely new relationships between the world’s human and natural systems.
According to new technique and research our planet's continents were arranged 2.5 billion years ago. We are homo consumens of the earth and very young specie still trying to understand the mysteries of nature and in our ignorance we have destroyed it. Climate change offers humanity no second chances. Only rich countries can break the deadlock crippling international climate negotiations and prevent the world lurching into climate disaster.

Botany Bay is a special place. The ghost trees on the beach provide a surreal and stark subject matter in juxtaposition to the sea. This was my fifth time photographing this incredible area and I was lucky to get some dramatic storm clouds at first light.

This sign is painted on a door in an alleyway beside Party Downtown in Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, USA.
"Blood" was painted on the stairs leading up to Guelph's main catholic church as symbolism for the catholic church's association with the heinous crimes of abusing, even killing, Indigenous children.
.. surprisingly, most of the vessels were in shape to hold water or their livestock milk.
