Field workers at Njoro Agricultural Research Station in Kenya sowing wheat seed samples in international trials for screening for resistance to Ug99, the new and virulent strain of stem rust that emerged in Uganda in 1999. The station is part of the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI), which is working in partnership with CIMMYT to identify sources of resistance. Ug99 is already endemic in the area, making it possible to use Njoro as a testing ground for wheats from all over the world; thousands are planted annually as part of an ongoing screening and breeding effort. In 2008, when this photo was taken, the Njoro team worked with CIMMYT to test over 20,000 wheat lines from more than 15 countries for resistance to Ug99.

Wet lint inside dryer vents can cause vent walls to rust and eventually create a hole, which causes problems venting air outside the home
This car has been rusting away and decaying for the last odd 30 years... he's resilient though... and still doesn't want to rust properly...
I often think to myself that this is how old people are, they age and they start to get more fragile and frail but refuse to break, till at some point they give up. The they start to decay till there is nothing left and many of them seem to loose the will to live...
Sorry about this dark note. Just my track of mind at the moment.

Just as rust never sleeps but imperceptibly eats away at bare metal, time, the energy of destruction, marches on regardless of our dreams and ambitions. Naturally, we all want the world to be a nice place, full of good feelings and experiences that “stand the test of time.” But although we may be choose to forget about time, as the most powerful natural force, not only does it steal our peak moments, but it also does away with us, their experiencer. About time, Krishna says,
“Time I am, the great destroyer of the worlds.”
The wise perceive the effect of time through the eyes of genuine knowledge, and save time for getting beyond the rust of material existence, the true purpose of yoga and meditation.
