Pristine environments, limited resources, and near-complete isolation are just some of the attractions of Antarctica, often termed the White Desert. Numerous research stations dot the outer regions of the continent where scientists gather data on glaciology, seismology, climate change and the stars.
The French-Italian Concordia research station is one of three year-round stations and is located on Dome C, a plateau some 3200 m above sea level. Secluded from the world in inhospitable conditions, the crew stationed there tackle temperatures that can drop to –80°C in the winter, with a yearly average temperature of –50°C.
The air is extremely dry, so the crew suffer from continuously chapped lips and irritated eyes. The great open landscape alternates between months of night and months of daylight, and colours, smells and sounds are almost non-existent, adding to the sense of loneliness.
In other words, Concordia is perfect.
Here, researchers study the atmosphere, free from pollution, to gain insights into how the world’s population is changing Earth’s climate. Scientists conduct glaciology research by analysing the Antarctic plateau to reveal clues to our past as chemicals are trapped and frozen in the ice.
The thin atmosphere, clear skies and zero light-pollution around Concordia make it an enviable place for observing the Universe. The very southern location of Antarctica also makes it ideal for studying Earth’s magnetic field.
Delving deeper, Concordia is looking at the inside movements of Earth. A seismograph at Concordia measures movement and the research base is part of the international network of seismograph stations.
And then there is the human factor. Despite all the hardships of life in Antarctica, up to 16 people spend around a year at a time living in Concordia in the name of science. In addition to helping conduct other experiments and station maintenance, they are an experiment themselves. And ESA sends a medical doctor to Concordia to study the crew, like this year’s resident Dr Carmen Possnig, imaged above.
The elevation, isolation and sensory deprivation can wreak havoc on crewmembers’ biological clock, making it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Researchers track the effects of this on the human body and mind which adds to data being collected on astronauts on the International Space Station.
Insights are used to help people on Earth like shift workers, bedridden patients and those suffering from sleep disorders, and of course, astronauts serving in low Earth orbit.
Antarctic research at Concordia is helping humans adapt, mentally and physically, to a changing climate, a longer voyage in space, and eventually, life on another planet.

THE MUSICIANS OF BREMEN
Once upon a time . . . an old donkey was ill-treated by his master. Tired of such unkindness, he decided to run away, and when he heard that the town of Bremen was looking for singers with the town band, he decided that someone with his fine braying voice might be accepted.
As he went along the road, the donkey met a skinny dog, covered with sores.
�Come with me. If you have a good bark, you�ll find a job with the band too. Just wait and see!�
A little later, a stray cat, no longer able to catch mice, joined them and the trio trotted hopefully on towards the town. As they passed a farmyard they stopped to admire an elderly cockerel who, with outstretched wings was rowing toward the skies.
�You sing well,� they told him. �What are you so happy about?�
�Happy?� muttered the cockerel with tears in his eyes. �They want to put me in the pot and make broth of me. I�m singing as hard as I can today. For tomorrow I�ll be gone.� But the donkey told him, �Run away with us. With a voice like yours, you�ll be famous in Bremen!�
Now there were four of them. The way was long, night fell, and very frightened, the four creatures found themselves in a thick forest.
They scarcely knew whether to press on or to hide in some caves and rest. Suddenly, in the distance they saw a light amongst the trees. It came from a little cottage and they crept up to the window. The donkey placed his hoofs on the window ledge. Anxious to see, the dog jumped on the donkey�s back, the cat climbed onto the dog and the cockerel flew on top of the cat to watch what was going on inside.
Now, the cottage was the hideaway of a gang of bandits who were busily celebrating their latest robbery. The hungry donkey and his friends were excited when they saw the food on the table. Upset by the Jittery crew on his back, the donkey stuck his head through the window and toppled his three companions on to the lamp. The light went out and the room rang with the sound of braying of the donkey who had cut his nose on the glass, the barking dog and the snarling of the cat. The cockerel screeched along with the others.
Taken completely by surprise, the terrified bandits fled screaming: The Devil! The Devil!� And their abandoned meal ended up in the four friends stomachs.
Later, however, just as the donkey and his companions were dropping to sleep, one of the bandits crept back to the now quiet house and went to find out what had taken place. He opened the door, and with his pistol in his hand, he stepped trembling towards the fire. However, mistaking the glow of the cat�s eyes for burning coals, he thrust a candle between them and instantly the furious cat sank its claws into the bandit�s face. The man fell backwards onto the dog, dropping his gun, which went off, and the animal�s sharp teeth sank into his leg. When the donkey saw the bandit�s figure at the door, he gave a tremendous kick, sending the man flying right through the doorway. The cockerel greeted this feat with a grim crowing sound.
�Run!� screamed the bandit. �Run! A horrible witch in there scratched my face, a demon bit me on the leg and a monster beat me with a stick! But the other bandits were no longer listening, for they had taken to their heels and fled.
And so the donkey, the dog, the cat and the cockerel took over the house without any trouble and, with the booty left behind by the bandits, always had food on the table, and lived happy and contented for many years.
Selçuk’ta yer alan, 1375 yapımı İsa Bey Camii’nin planı Şam Emevi Camii ile Diyarbakır Ulu Camii’yle benzerlik gösterir. Yapının revaklı avlusu, ibadet mekânına kuzey yönünden bağlanır; batı cephesi, devşirme bloklar ve taş süslemeleriyle diğer cephelerden ayrılır. 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında kervansaray olarak kullanılan, 1934’ten itibaren çeşitli onarımlardan geçirilen cami hâlen ibadet ve ziyarete açıktır.

This wood-sculpted cutaway is based on 35 years of research.
Like any project, I worked patiently to avoid overlooking the details. Rather, I took a steady course to acquire existing facts (however scanty or generous) to conclude the findings for this completion.
At 1:24 scale, this hand-carved rendition of USS CONSTITUTIONs' gun deck illustrate the result of patience and the investment of three months. The cutaway is handcrafted in select pine, bass and China birchwoods...which include 70 pine figurines in various positions.
The scene depict a cannon-riddled hull which is true for any warship in broadside battle.
Cannons can be seen in different firing stages when viewing the opposite side of this cutaway.
Please note that a 'new' more thoroughly researched gun deck will be underway in the Spring 2019. Support is needed for its success. Please visit gofund.me/uss-constitution-gun-deck-appeal? or you may view the video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv0_HC0cwrM Thank you.

The Beef Research and Teaching Center
Five miles south of the MU campus, South Farm Research Center supports the research, outreach and teaching missions of animal science, plant science, veterinary science, biology, botany and other disciplines. The Center is the location of several research facilities including the Swine Research Center, the Beef Research and Teaching Center, the Turfgrass Research Center and the Equine Teaching Facility. The Center also supports research and demonstration projects in entomology, poultry and maize genetics. The Missouri Foundation Seed program uses South Farm to increase the sales of newly developed seed varieties to dealers. Easy access from campus allows South Farm to be used for hands-on teaching to more than 1,500 students annually and is the location for numerous graduate student research projects. The Center hosts a Showcase each fall to share its projects with the general public; it has become a popular family event, with attendance in the thousands.
