Small self-replicating bits of nucleic acid are a simple and essential intermediate in the origin of life, but calling them "viruses" is a stretch. The distinction is that so far as I know, every modern virus known to man is a) incapable of making protein and b) requires protein to function. This is no small distinction, because the entire elaborate structure of the ribosome and its associated factors and metabolic machinery are required for usual methods of protein synthesis. (There are some clever alternatives used for making antibiotics - see Nonribosomal peptide - but I'm not aware of any virus making a capsid, etc. using such tricks) I cannot swear to you that no primordial snippet of catalytic RNA could have survived from the beginning of the world until this day without ever having been part of a normal cycle of cell replication, but if it did, it has somewhere along the line developed a great need for ribosomes it doesn't have, and has borrowed enough sequences from ribosome-containing cells to make all the protein-coding genes we identify in it today.
Of course, you could postulate that self-replicating RNAs developed protein synthesis before the proper cell membrane, and then some never became part of cells. The problem is that it is hard to picture a complete protein biochemistry, at least one of the usual ribosome-oriented type with loose aminoacyl-tRNAs and the wizard's stew of biochemical precursors to amino acids, existing free or within a typical tight-packed viral capsid. One would think that the such a protein synthesis machinery open to the environment would have special adaptations to keep components from escaping, and probably would have use some more rudimentary genetic code than the completed cell. Yet none of these primitive features show up in viruses either.
The bottom line is that viruses by their nature could have picked up snippets of code anywhere, but they are not primordial organisms from the first days of life. Wnt (talk) 15:32, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

BALINESE BATH. A pool replicating the Balinese water palaces of times past, the Balinese Bath Pool is ringed with a weathered stone wall with traditional water spouts flowing into the 15.5m long pool. Positioned up from the Main Pool, the Balinese Bath Pool also has a sun terrace and sun beds, offering a quieter relaxation area for adults. Please note this is a non-smoking zone.
Following up on the exploration of Alan Jaras, David Hull and John Swierzbin I used my modified brain wave camera to examine the area around BL86/DS51/R15. It seems John's worst fears regarding gamma ray energy are confirmed. These high energy sources are somehow combining to form light or energy entities. They seem able to replicate. Is this a new lifeform. If so it seems more like a virus using whole planets and stars as a host in order to multiply. The edge of the galaxy is now littered with lifeless dead planets

Here's a view of Aaron Delehanty’s desk in the Replications Lab. He is testing resin samples with different surface treatments and colors. Replicating objects with the degree of accuracy required for exhibitions involves a deep understanding of your materials. The work demands diligence, curiosity, continued practice, and ongoing experimentation with materials. Replications artists are a bit like chemists perfecting a formula.

Clashing Knights. Jousting. Maryland Renaissance Festival. Sep/2016
Jousting is a martial game or hastilude between two horsemen wielding lances with blunted tips, often as part of a tournament. The primary aim was to replicate a clash of heavy cavalry, with each opponent endeavoring to strike the opponent while riding towards him at high speed, if possible breaking the lance on the opponent's shield or jousting armour, or unhorsing him. The joust became an iconic characteristic of the knight in Romantic medievalism.
The term is derived from Old French joster, ultimately from a Late Latin infare "to approach, to meet". The word was loaned into Middle English around 1300, when jousting was a very popular sport among the Anglo-Norman knighthood. The synonym tilt dates ca. 1510.
Jousting is based on the military use of the lance by heavy cavalry. It transformed into a specialised sport during the Late Middle Ages, and remained popular with the nobility in England and Wales and Germany throughout the whole of the 16th century (while in France, it was discontinued after the death of King Henry II in an accident in 1559).[1] In England, jousting was the highlight of the Accession Day tiltsof Elizabeth I and James I, and also was part of the festivities at the marriage of Charles I.[2]
Jousting was discontinued in favour of other equestrian sports in the 17th century, although non-contact forms of "equestrian skill-at-arms" disciplines survived. There has been a limited revival of theatrical jousting re-enactment since the 1970s

Justa é um desporto jogado por dois cavaleiros com armaduras montados em cavalos. Consiste numa competição marcial entre doiscavaleiros montados, usando uma variedade de armas, geralmente em grupos de três por arma (como a inclinação com um lança, os golpes com machados, ou os golpes com a espada), entre outros, muitas vezes, como parte de um torneio.[1]
A justa foi um jogo marcial na Idade Média, sendo necessário ter uma habilidade muito grande para praticar este desporto. Embora o primeiro torneio foi feito em 1066, a justa não ganhou popularidade generalizada até o século XII. É mantido o seu estatuto como um desporto popular europeu até ao início do século XVII.
A justa foi incorporada em torneios vários séculos após a sua estreia. O torneio permitiu uma melhor exibição da habilidade individual e, embora perigosa, ofereceram grandes somas de dinheiro do prémio. Muitos cavaleiros fizeram a sua fortuna com esses eventos, enquanto muitos perderam a fortuna ou mesmo a vida. Por exemplo, Henrique II da França morreu quando uma lança do seu adversário atravessou a sua viseira e a quebrou em fragmentos, cegando o olho direito e penetrando na sua órbita direita e têmpora. 1. As Justas eram disputadas entre dois cavaleiros, convenientemente revestidos de pesadas armaduras e protegidos por escudos especiais.Eram torneios realizados em terra plana, onde os combatentes tinham de ter uma boa preparação física e as suas armas bem preparadas. Eles empunhavam pesadíssimas lanças de ferro.

A replicate of Goddard's liquid fueled rocked is on display in the Starship Gallery of Space Center Houston.
Rocket pioneer Dr. Robert H. Goddard launched the first liquid-fueled rocket on March 16, 1926. This is an identical replica of the original rocket, which burned liquid oxygen and gasoline and rose 41 feet and traveled 184 feet at an average of 60 mph. Before Goddard's liquid-fueled rocket, rockets used gunpowder and other forms of solid rocket propellant. Goddard unofficially inaugurated the space age and changed the future of rocketry when he began using liquid fuels, which produce more acceleration. For the first time, space flight became a real possibility. Goddard's early rocket had an unfamiliar design: it had a combustion chamber and nozzle at the top of a frame mode up two vertical tubes, which carried the liquid fuel from the tanks at the bottom.
Space Center Houston is the official visitor center of NASA Johnson Space Center and a Smithsonian Affiliate Museum owned and operated by the nonprofit Manned Spaceflight Education Foundation. The center opened in 1992 and hosts more than 1 million visitors annually in its 250,000-square-foot educational complex with over 400 space artifacts, permanent and traveling exhibits, attractions, live shows and theaters dedicated to preserving the history of America's human spaceflight program.
The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Manned Spacecraft Center, where human spaceflight training, research, and flight control are conducted. Construction of the center, designed by Charles Luckman, began in 1962 and the 1,620-acre facility officially opened for business in September 1963. The center is home to NASA's astronaut corps, and is responsible for training astronauts from both the U.S. and its international partners. It has become popularly known for its flight control function, identified as "Mission Control" during the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo–Soyuz, and Space Shuttle program flights. It is also the site of the former Lunar Receiving Laboratory, where the first astronauts returning from the Moon were quarantined, and where the majority of lunar samples are stored.

The bacterial chromosome constitutes the prototypic replicon. It contains a single, genetically defined 245-bp sequence (OriC). Replication is initiated when the replication initiator — dnaA — binds to four specific 9-mers within OriC. The three 13-mers are then melted to form an open complex that guides the entry of helicase (dnaB) . b | SV40 is a typical eukaryotic viral DNA replicon. Site II (64 bp) is the main recognition site, which contains four GAGGC palindromes that are necessary for binding of two T-antigen hexamers. Site I is an auxiliary binding site for a T-antigen dimer. EP, early palindrome. c | Saccharomyces cerevisiae origins (autonomously replicating sequence, ARS) are also genetically defined. The origin recognition complex (ORC) binds to domain A, which contains an 11-bp core consensus (A/TTTATA/GTTTA/T), and to domain B1. Domain B2 contains an easily unwound sequence, whereas domain B3 is a binding site for a transcription factor Abf1 (ARS binding factor 1). d | Multicellular eukaryotes have site-specific, usually (A+T)-rich origins. These sites have a variable size, contain one or several potential origins and usually lie outside coding regions.

ODC2 replicate an ODC explored picture.
I got this one from Sharon Gerald,
www.flickr.com/photos/sgerald/5615666323/
I did not like the light outside today, and i might not get a shot later so I took it on my favorite TV console. Please don't mind the dust spots, they seem to appear out of thin air, quite litterally.
This challenge felt a bit....blah....
The reason is : I can't copy an explored. I mean...I could...but yet those explored pictures are there for a reason. They are special pictures taken on a certain day, at a certain moment, catching a certain light that make people go wow. In many cases, i am not sure if the photographer himself could replicate his/her work (maybe for studio still life they could). Isn't it what makes photography so special? capturing this unique moment and make it last forever?
