Taming Light #44
Hidden in the depths of space is a vast experimental light field. Advanced research is well under way to grow multi-chromatic light for the space construction industry. These light beams have a higher tensile strength, greater colour range, are easier to weld and are faster growing than the existing building material. This should mean that the housing needs of the ever growing population can be met within the next era.
Of course there have been objections to such research and there are particular worries about the long term durability and radiation hazards of this new material and its compatibility with existing construction materials. The researchers are confident that there will be no such problems and a massive and rigorous test programme is being undertaken. It is hoped that the Intergalactic Construction Standards and Planning Committee will approve a small test city incorporating the new material to be built at the edge of a nearby galaxy and monitor the progress and testing programme. If all goes well it should not be too long before colourful "Light Cities" will be seen throughout the Universe.
The White tiger cub in a rare black complexion, along with its completely white siblings, is on display for the public to see at the Arignar Anna Zoological Park in Vandalur, Chennai, India.
A black tiger is something of a rarity and zoo officials are quite excited by the development. "The colouring might be due to genetic reasons. A black cub is exactly the same as a regular tiger in all aspects, except for its skin colour," said zoo director KSSVP Reddy, who is also chief conservator of forests.
On a frigid morning at an undisclosed location, a team of scientists assembled at the perimeter of a frost-laden meadow, their exhalations visible in the crisp mountain air. After decades of rigorous genetic research, a historic milestone was achieved: the reintroduction of the dire wolf, Canis dirus, extinct for approximately 10,000 years.
Utilizing ancient DNA, three specimens were cloned. Their white fur contrasting sharply with the landscape. Larger than their modern counterparts, these formidable predators, with robust jaws and muscular frames, emerged from their crates, amber eyes surveying the unfamiliar terrain. Their inaugural howl reverberated through the coniferous forest, a resonant echo of a bygone era.
This initiative sought to restore an extinct species. Yet, as the wolves retreated into their huge enclosure, a profound question looms-- can humanity harmoniously coexist with a species resurrected from prehistory? There are no plans to attempt to stock wild populations, yet many people are fearful of recreating extinct species.

No not me its the crops that are genetically
modified. Although I am sure some mutation occurred with me at birth, Maybe I am one of those evolutionary steps Mr Darwin was on about.
Probably not 😒
Anyway back to yesterday, I had to go to the tip to get rid of a microwave that went pop pop crackle fizzzz crackle bang! As per usual i was over dressed wearing this number, Didn't need a hi viz jacket though so that's a plus point. Did get some looks from the guys, i think they were confused because they wanted to help but couldn't lol
I just had to struggle on my own with the microwave.
Didn't really take any photos at home as my daughter had her boyfriend over and it is a bit strange taking photos with him around. Instead he had to put up with me pottering around getting in the way

I've been to Copenhagen many times before but I hadn't heard about the 'Genetically Modified Little Mermaid' before so I went to investigate.......
Click here to see more photos of Denmark from this and other trips : www.flickr.com/photos/darrellg/sets/72157601329109555
From the Afar.com website : "Mobs of tourists line up to get their photo taken in front of Copenhagen's iconic Little Mermaid statue. The bronze replica of Hans Christian Andersen's beloved fairytale mermaid was certainly cute. But I found the city's less famous mermaid to be much cooler (and totally crowd-free). The “Genetically Modified Little Mermaid” is on a square by Dahlerups Pakhus, an old warehouse in the Copenhagen Harbour, just a short walk from the real statue. Bjørn Nørgaard created the abstract mermaid as part of a larger sculpture group called the Genetically Modified Paradise. The collection of sculptures is supposed to be the artist’s ironic view of the postmodern society and a meditation on the way genetic technology is changing the way humans perceive themselves. His other works surround a large fountain and are abstract representations of Madonna, Adam, Christ, Maria Magdalena, Eve, the tripartite capital and a pregnant man. The mermaid is set apart on her own small island nearby. "

If you love Dahlias like I do, please click "here"
Dahlias are a genus of bushy, tuberous, herbaceous perennial plants native to Mexico. A member of the Asteraceae (or Compositae), dicotyledonous plants, related species include the sunflower, daisy, chrysanthemum, and zinnia. There are 42 species of dahlia, with hybrids commonly grown as garden plants. Flower forms are variable, with one head per stem; these can be as small as 2 in (5.1 cm) diameter or up to 1 ft (30 cm) ("dinner plate"). This great variety results from dahlias being octoploids—that is, they have eight sets of homologous chromosomes, whereas most plants have only two. In addition, dahlias also contain many transposons—genetic pieces that move from place to place upon an allele—which contributes to their manifesting such great diversity. The stems are leafy, ranging in height from as low as 12 in (30 cm) to more than 6–8 ft (1.8–2.4 m). The majority of species do not produce scented flowers or cultivars. Like most plants that do not attract pollinating insects through scent, they are brightly colored, displaying most hues, with the exception of blue. Perennial plants, with mostly tuberous roots. While some have herbaceous stems, others have stems which lignify in the absence of secondary tissue and resprout following winter dormancy, allowing further seasons of growth. As a member of the Asteraceae the flower head is actually a composite (hence the older name Compositae) with both central disc florets and surrounding ray florets. Each floret is a flower in its own right, but is often incorrectly described as a petal, particularly by horticulturalists. The modern name Asteraceae refers to the appearance of a star with surrounding rays. The dahlia was declared the national flower of Mexico in 1963. The tubers were grown as a food crop by the Aztecs, but this use largely died out after the Spanish Conquest. Attempts to introduce the tubers as a food crop in Europe were unsuccessful.

Every 35 seconds, one more life changes into a life determined by blood cancer. There is nothing more important than finding the genetic twin - quickly. What if someone suffering from acute leukaemia could get a new chance to make his dreams come true, with your bone marrow? It is quite easy to join the bone marrow database. All it takes is a swab sample from the inside of your cheek to find out if you are a match for a transplant.
By the way: Today, stem cells are usually obtained from the bloodstream; only in rare cases a bone marrow puncture is required. I will never forget how it feels, this moment when leukaemia opens the door and takes up residence, an unwanted guest who suddenly rules your life. I took my swab in 2017. Together, we can win this fight

Cercopiteco verde (Chlorocebus pygerythrus).
Il termine "cercopiteco verde" è anche usato per riferirsi a tutti i membri del genere Chlorocebus.
Le cinque sottospecie distinte possono essere trovate principalmente in tutta l'Africa meridionale, così come in alcuni dei paesi orientali. Queste scimmie per lo più erbivore hanno facce nere e peli del corpo di colore grigio, che variano in lunghezza del corpo da circa 40 cm per le femmine, a circa 50 cm per i maschi.
Oltre alla ricerca comportamentale sulle popolazioni naturali, i cercopitechi verdi servono come modello di primati non umani per comprendere i comportamenti genetici e sociali degli esseri umani. Sono stati notati per avere caratteristiche simili a quelle umane, come ipertensione , ansia e uso sociale e dipendente di alcol.
I cercopitechi verdi vivono in gruppi sociali che vanno da 10 a 70 individui, con i maschi che si spostano in altri gruppi al momento della maturità sessuale.
Gli studi condotti sui cercopitechi verdi riguardano la loro comunicazione e i richiami di allarme, in particolare per quanto riguarda il riconoscimento di parenti e gruppi, e particolari avvistamenti di predatori.

Vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus).
The term "vervet monkey" is also used to refer to all members of the genus Chlorocebus.
The five distinct subspecies can be found primarily throughout southern Africa, as well as some of the eastern countries. These mostly herbivorous monkeys have black faces and gray body hair, ranging in body length from about 40 cm (16 in) for females, to about 50 cm (20 in) for males.
In addition to behavioral research on natural populations, vervet monkeys serve as a nonhuman primate model for understanding the genetic and social behaviors of humans. They have been noted to have human-like characteristics, such as high blood pressure, anxiety, and social and dependent alcohol use.
Vervet monkeys live in social groups ranging from 10 to 70 individuals, with males moving to other groups upon sexual maturity.
Studies on vervet monkeys focus on their communication and alarm calls, particularly regarding kin and group recognition, and particular predator sightings.

Dr. Jennifer Doudna stands at the intersection of biology and history, a scientist whose discoveries have irrevocably altered the course of human understanding. Her pioneering work on CRISPR gene editing has not only transformed molecular biology but has also raised profound ethical and philosophical questions about the very fabric of life. A Nobel laureate, she navigates these frontiers with both precision and an acute awareness of the weight of her discoveries. Her scientific vision is tempered by an almost preternatural sense of responsibility.
I photographed Doudna twice. The first time was on July 7, 2021, at the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI) during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The world outside was shrouded in fog, a thick marine layer that wrapped around Berkeley’s hills, rendering everything indistinct and softened. Inside, the normally bustling institute was eerily quiet. There were no students gathering in the hallways, no hurried footsteps of researchers moving between lab stations. It was a fitting setting for a scientist whose work feels as though it has emerged from the mist of scientific uncertainty to reveal something dazzlingly clear.
In that empty space, Doudna’s presence was striking. She moved with the quiet intensity of someone accustomed to deep thought, her mind constantly engaged in the grand puzzle of molecular biology. The discovery she had helped bring to light, CRISPR-Cas9, had given scientists an unprecedented ability to edit genes with ease and precision. For the first time in human history, we had the capacity to rewrite the very code of life. With CRISPR, the genome was no longer a fixed text but an editable manuscript, full of potential revisions and possibilities.
The implications were staggering. Within just a few years, researchers had already begun using CRISPR to correct genetic diseases in animal models, paving the way for future human therapies. In agriculture, scientists were engineering crops resistant to drought and disease, potentially revolutionizing global food security. Yet for all its promise, CRISPR was also a technology fraught with ethical and societal concerns. The ability to alter DNA brought with it the specter of unintended consequences: off-target effects, genetic inequalities, and the possibility of enhancement rather than just therapy.
Doudna was acutely aware of these challenges. She has often spoken of the moment when, after her team’s initial breakthroughs, she awoke from a dream in which someone had asked her to explain CRISPR to Adolf Hitler. The dream unsettled her—not because the science was flawed, but because its power could so easily be misused. Unlike many scientists, she did not shy away from this realization. Instead, she became one of the most vocal advocates for ethical guidelines and called for global discussions on how gene editing should be regulated.
The second time I photographed her was at her home. It was a more personal setting, where she stood alongside her husband, biochemist Jamie Cate. This session would result in her official Nobel portrait, an image meant to capture not only the scientist but the thinker—the human being at the center of one of biology’s most consequential breakthroughs. In this environment, away from the sterility of the lab, Doudna was quick to smile, yet just as quick to consider the larger implications of her work. CRISPR, in her mind, was not simply a tool of innovation. It was a force that demanded careful stewardship.
Few scientists can move so effortlessly between the precise world of molecular biology and the broad, messy conversations of bioethics, governance, and human destiny. But Doudna is one of them. She understands that the future of gene editing is not simply about what science can achieve, but about what it should achieve. This balance between the limitless potential of discovery and the necessity of caution defines her approach.
Even as CRISPR is being explored as a treatment for sickle cell disease, blindness, and certain cancers, she remains focused on ensuring that this technology does not outpace our ability to control it. She has advocated for a moratorium on heritable human genome editing, recognizing that the decision to alter the genetic blueprint of future generations is one that cannot be made lightly. The world may be racing toward a new era of genetic medicine. But if Doudna has her way, it will not be reckless.
Her legacy is still unfolding, but one truth is already apparent. The world she is shaping will look very different from the one she inherited. And as science advances, her voice will remain one of its most thoughtful, deliberate, and necessary guides. She is a scientist of precision, yes. But more importantly, she is a scientist of conscience.

With uncertain ends

An experimental therapy has brought prolonged remissions to a high proportion of patients who were facing death from advanced leukemia after standard treatments had failed, researchers are reporting.
The therapy involves genetically programming cells from the patient’s own immune system to fight the disease.
The research included 30 patients: five adults ages 26 to 60, and 25 children and young adults ages 5 to 22. All were severely ill, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and had relapsed several times or had never responded to typical therapies. In more than half, the disease had come back even after a stem-cell transplant, which usually gives patients the best hope of surviving. Their life expectancy was a few months, or in some cases just weeks.
Six months after being treated, 23 of the 30 patients were still alive, and 19 of them have remained in complete remission. (NY Times)
Genetically these fellas are about the nearest thing to a human being you’ll find at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park I would imagine and it certainly shows!
They were the noisiest, most violent and argumentative creatures in the park, except for some of the errant visitors of course!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grass_snake
The grass snake (Natrix natrix), sometimes called the ringed snake or water snake, is a Eurasian non-venomous snake. It is often found near water and feeds almost exclusively on amphibians. The barred grass snake, Natrix helvetica, was split off as a separate species in 2017.
Etymology
The name natrix is probably derived from the Latin nare or natare "to swim".
Subspecies
Many subspecies are recognized, including:[2]
Natrix natrix algirus (fide Sochurek, 1979)
Natrix natrix astreptophora (Seoane, 1885)
Natrix natrix calabra Vanni & Lanza, 1983
Natrix natrix cypriaca (Hecht, 1930)
Natrix natrix fusca Cattaneo, 1990
Natrix natrix gotlandica Nilson & Andrén, 1981
Natrix natrix natrix (Linnaeus, 1758)
Natrix natrix persa (Pallas, 1814)
Natrix natrix schweizeri L. Müller 1932
Natrix natrix scutata (Pallas, 1771)
Natrix natrix helvetica (Lacépède, 1789) was formerly treated as a subspecies, but following genetic analysis it was recognised in August 2017 as a separate species, Natrix helvetica, the barred grass snake. Four other subspecies were transferred from N. natrix to N. helvetica, becoming N. helvetica cettii, N. helvetica corsa, N. helvetica lanzai and N. helvetica sicula.[3]
Description
The grass snake is typically dark green or brown in colour with a characteristic yellow collar behind the head, which explains the alternative name ringed snake. The colour may also range from grey to black, with darker colours being more prevalent in colder regions, presumably owing to the thermal benefits of being dark in colour. The underside is whitish with irregular blocks of black, which are useful in recognizing individuals. In Great Britain, the grass snake is the largest reptile, with females reaching up to 80 cm (2 ft 7 in) total length and males usually being somewhat smaller at around 60 cm (2.0 ft) and smaller in girth.[4] Weight is about 240 g (8 oz).[citation needed]
Distribution
The grass snake is widely distributed in mainland Europe, ranging from mid Scandinavia to southern Italy. It is also found in the Middle East and northwestern Africa. British grass snakes were thought to belong to the subspecies N. n. helvetica, though this is now recognised as a seperate species.[3]
This species was considered to be one of only three snakes to occur in Great Britain but the grass snakes in Great Britain have now been reidentified as barred grass snake Natrix helvetica, any records of N. natrix in Britain are now considered to have originated from imported specimens.[3]
Ecology
Feeding
Grass snakes prey mainly on amphibians, especially the common toad and the common frog, although they may also occasionally eat ants and larvae. Captive snakes have been observed taking earthworms offered by hand, but dead prey items are never taken.[5] The snake will search actively for prey, often on the edges of water, using sight and sense of smell (using Jacobson's organ). They consume prey live without using constriction.
Habitat
Grass snakes are strong swimmers and may be found close to fresh water, although there is evidence individual snakes often do not need bodies of water throughout the entire season.[5]
The preferred habitat appears to be open woodland and "edge" habitat, such as field margins and woodland borders, as these may offer adequate refuge while still affording ample opportunity for thermoregulation through basking. Pond edges are also favoured and the relatively high chance of observing this secretive species in such areas may account for their perceived association with ponds and water.
Grass snakes, as with most reptiles, are at the mercy of the thermal environment and need to overwinter in areas which are not subject to freezing. Thus, they typically spend the winter underground where the temperature is relatively stable.
Reproduction
As spring approaches, the males emerge first and spend much of the day basking in an effort to raise body temperature and thereby metabolism. This may be a tactic to maximise sperm production, as the males mate with the females as soon as they emerge up to two weeks later in April, or earlier if environmental temperatures are favourable. The leathery-skinned eggs are laid in batches of eight to 40 in June to July and hatch after about 10 weeks. To survive and hatch, the eggs require a temperature of at least 21 °C (70 °F), but preferably 28 °C (82 °F), with high humidity. Rotting vegetation, such as compost heaps, are preferred locations. The young are about 18 centimetres (7 in) long when they hatch and are immediately independent.
Migration
After breeding in summer, snakes tend to hunt and may range widely during this time, moving up to several hundred metres in a day.[5] Prey items tend to be large compared to the size of the snake, and this impairs the movement ability of the snake. Snakes which have recently eaten rarely move any significant distance and will stay in one location, basking to optimize their body temperature until the prey item has been digested. Individual snakes may only need two or three significant prey items throughout an entire season.
Ecdysis (moulting)
Ecdysis occurs at least once during the active season. As the outer skin wears and the snake grows, the new skin forms underneath the old, including the eye scales which may turn a milky blue/white colour at this time — referred to as being 'in blue'. The blue white colour comes from an oily secretion between the old and new skins; the snake's coloration will also look dull, as though the animal is dusty. This process affects the eyesight of the snakes and they do not move or hunt during this time; they are also, in common with most other snakes, more aggressive. The outer skin is eventually sloughed in one piece (inside-out) and normal movement activity is resumed.
Defence
Not being venomous, the snake's only defence is to produce a garlic-smelling fluid from the anal glands, or to feign death (thanatosis) by becoming completely limp.[6] They may also perform an aggressive display in defence, hissing and striking without opening the mouth. They rarely bite in defence. They may also secrete blood (autohaemorrhage) from the mouth and nose whilst playing dead.[7] When caught they often regurgitate the contents of their stomachs.
Protection and threats
The species has various predator species, including corvids, storks, owls and perhaps other birds of prey, foxes, and the domestic cat. In England, grass snakes are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and cannot be harmed or traded without a licence, although they may legally be captured and kept in captivity.
Two of the subspecies are considered critically endangered: N. n. cetti (Sardinian grass snake) and N. n. schweizeri.[1] In 2007, the grass snake was included on the updated UK Biodiversity Action Plan as a species in need of conservation and greater protection.

Egyptian goslings searching for foods!
Egyptian goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) breeds widely in Africa except in deserts and dense forests, and is locally abundant. They are found mostly in the Nile Valley and south of the Sahara. It has also been introduced in Great Britain dating back to the 18th century, though only formally added to the British list in 1971. In Britain, it is found mainly in East Anglia, in parkland with lakes. This species will nest in a large variety of situations, especially in holes in mature trees in parkland. The female builds the nest from reeds, leaves and grass, and both parents take turns incubating eggs. Egyptian Geese usually pair for life. More: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Goose

and the Canadians might want to join us! The enemy is the Monsanto Corporation - one of the most dangerous companies in the world. Currently there are 64 countries that require labeling of all GMO's (genetically modified organisms - which refers to any food product that has been altered at the gene level), and 27 countries that ban GMO's altogether. Only the United States and Canada require neither labeling or a ban.
The following movie will change the way you look at food forever, thanks to the greed of many - Monsanto corporates, politicians, FDA officials and paid off scientists. And the innocent people who need to eat to survive are the ultimate victims!
What Monsanto and their cohorts have done to our food chain is criminal, maniacal and completely insane to say the least. They have engineered and modified our basic foodstuffs from seeds to the point of causing all those exposed to all kinds of cancers - period!
My hope is that you will all take the 1 hour and 49 minutes to watch it, and then we all need to shut this company down along with ALL of their cohorts.
