Survival of the Elements
This close-up image shows the 'Materials on International Space Station Experiment-8.' Taken during the spacewalk on July 12, 2011, the small circles pictured are test beds for materials and computing elements attached to the outside of the International Space Station. These elements are being evaluated for the effects of atomic oxygen, ultraviolet, direct sunlight, radiation, and the extremes of heat and cold. Researchers hope the results will provide a better understanding of the durability of various materials and computing elements when they are exposed to the rigors of space environments and hope to incorporate what is learned into the design of future spacecraft.

Klipspringer - Incredible Ballerina
http://thewebsiteofeverything.com/we...ipspringer.jpgThe klipspringer (Oreotrangu oreotragus) is an amazing little hooved mammal who walks on the tips of its hooves and can race and jump across rocky terrain. Appearing as tiny antelopes, they make their homes on rocky terrains and are known for their amazing agility and grace on the rocks. Incredibly talented at balancing, these little acrobats can bring all four feet into one spot and balance themselves on an area no larger than a silver dollar.
Their technical name is the oreotragus oreotragus and they typically stay very small. They typically only reach 58 cm or 22 inches in height at the shoulder. Their weight will also stay low at a lightweight 18 kg or 40 pounds. This stocky little animal is extremely powerful and agile. The horns on the male are actually shorter than the ears at only 4 to 6 inches long. The coat if a dark brown flecked throughout with black spots, allowing it to blend perfectly with the rocks it spends so much time on. Evenly spaced eyes are placed above a nose that is wedge-shaped and short. These delicate looking animals are found through much of southwester Africa from the Cape at the south to Abyssinia and eastern Africa. Within those regions, the toe-prancing light-footed herbivores are commonly found in the kopjes of the savannas. Kopjes are those rocky prominences that jut out of the landscape in the plains. Surrounded by an ocean of grass, the klipspringer is at home on the little islands of rocks. Unlike most other animals, klipspringers are monogamous. They typically choose a mate and will stay close to that individual throughout life. The males of the species are highly territorial and don’t like to share their terrain. One male will typically claim areas ranging from five to ten acres in size. The klipspringer is known for some rather rare abilities. When standing, it will bring all four legs together and balance on them in one spot. It is also the only horned ungulate that can lie down with its front legs stretching out together in front of it. The oreotragus oreotragus has some unique sounds it makes. When issuing an alarm to others it makes a loud whistling sound through the nose. Roaring sounds can be made when they are scared or in distress and the males are known for humming softly when mating. Kiplingers dine on succulents and other rock plants. Perfectly suited to life on the rocky terrain, they do not require drinking water but can absorb the liquid thy need through their diet of succulents or by licking the morning dew from their rocky homes. Predators of the Kiplinger include both leopards, hyenas, snakes and caracals on the ground and eagles from above. Their small size makes them a tempting meal for many carnivores, although their swift feet and affinity for slippery rocks can help keep them out of danger. This little rock dancer is not currently endangered and is considered to be at low-risk.

Araminta de Clermont
http://www.aadstatic.com/uploads/ara...t_34243243.jpg
About Araminta: Araminta de Clermont received her MFA in Cape Town and is now based in London. This series is an exploration into the tattoos and lives of members of the South African prison gang Numbers. She photographs them upon their release back into society after many years, if not decades, in prison. Rules against tattooing in the South African prison system are enforced with severe penalties, but tattooing remains a common occurrence, says de Clermont. The drive to make marks is so strong that equipment is sourced or made against all odds. Pigment is made by mixing ground-up trash cans, industrial rubber washers, batteries, and bricks with saliva. It is applied using furniture nails or sewing needles. Her commercial work includes news and feature photography for The Times, The Sunday Times, and Guardian, among others. Her personal photography has been exhibited internationally and collected by South African Art Gallery, University of South Africa, and University of Cape Town. http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...v24Q8PdF8/0/di http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...v24Q8PdF8/1/di http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=yIl2AUoC8zA http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...J8:F7zBnMyn0Lo http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...J8:V_sGLiPBpWU http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=qj6IDK7rITs http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...J8:gIN9vFwOqvQ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Artis...~4/UiTERr72s7c More... |
Riley-the-Cattle-Dog-Mix
http://cdn-www.dailypuppy.com/dog-im...07-15_w450.jpg
Hi! My name is Riley, and I am a very happy and energetic puppy. I love meeting new people and new dog friends. I like to go to the park where I get to explore, chase my duck toy, and herd my big red ball. I also like to stay at home where I enjoy chewing on toys and bones, shoes, mechanical pencils, and anything made of cardboard. I go to puppy school every week so I can play with my friends and learn new tricks. I'm a good listener and I've already learned a lot! When I get home from a hard day of playtime and naps, I like getting tummy rubs, cuddling on the couch, and giving lots and lots of kisses. More... |
