By Gary Barnhart Capitol Hill is a neighborhood built with brick. Almost every street is lined with colorful row homes built about 100 years ago. Though most brick row homes look similar, these buildings were designed and constructed by various builders and architects and there are unique differences between the buildings. read more
Hello from Norway I think Im somewhere near the city Trondheim which is also referred to as the Paris of Northern Europe. I decided to take a 12 day cruise beginning and ending in Bergen Norway with Hurtigruten Cruise lines. One of the tours I decided to do was halfway through the cruise at one of our northern most stops in Kirkenes which is only a few miles from the Russian border. Many people on my ship took a tour bus to see the Russian border. There was only time to do one chore and I chose ...
Biomimicry is learning from and then emulating natural forms, processes, and ecosystems to create more circular designs. The core idea is that nature has already solved many of the problems we are grappling with energy, food production, climate control, benign chemistry, transportation, collaboration, and more. It is studying a leaf to invent a better solar cell, or a coral reef to make a more resilient company. In nature there is no waste, everything is a nutrient and feedstock. Mimicking these...

After more than 13 years at Saturn, and with its fate sealed, NASAs Cassini spacecraft bid farewell to the Saturnian system by firing the shutters of its wide-angle camera and capturing this last, full mosaic of Saturn and its rings two days before the spacecrafts dramatic plunge into the planets atmosphere.

As a child my idol was the late Gerald Durrell OBE, a man with a mission to save species from extinction through captive breeding. I wanted, and still (if I am honest) want, so desperately to follow in his footsteps. Yet, after a short period of time working in the zoo world, I realised that being a zoo keeper was both very hard work and, being before the time of the minimum wage, very poorly paid. My life moved on and via various twists and turns, I now find myself working as a plant propagator...

According to Global Forest Watch, the country lost 16.88 million hectares of rainforest between and , a chunk of forest nearly the size of France. Deforestation is not only a serious problem for global climate change, but its also a problem for the communities of people who make the forests their home. The same goes for animals, and many of th...
Waters ability to form the basis of biochemistry may well be unique no other liquid has even a fraction of the favorable attributes of water life not only has an absolute requirement for a liquid solvent, but water is by far the most qualified solvent to fulfill that role. Kevin W. Plaxco and Michael Gross, Astrobiology A Brief Introduction, pp. 14-17. Water is able to hold in solution an enormous, unequalled range of diverse chemical compounds. Its particularly high dielectric constant is res...
Written by Jan Walsh//Photography by Beau Gustafson As an important part of my organic living, I no longer use nail products with triphenyl phosphate (TPHP) and other harmful chemicals. Nor do I need towith just a little bit of searching, Ive found fabulous, organic alternatives that look, feel and smell better than many of the most popular nail-polish brands you see in the store. Chemicals in nail products may leach through your nails and your bloodstream. TPHP is particularly concerning. Accor...
Our ability to handle and manipulate fire is critically dependent on the basic design and dimensions of the human body being close to what they are. Our ability to handle fire is no trivial ability because it was only through the use of fire that technological advance was possible. Through fire came metallurgy and metal tools and eventually chemical knowledge. Because metals are the only natural conductors of electricity, the discovery of electromagnetism and electricity, even the development of...
Floods, Landslides Killing Citizens National Assembly members hit out at the Climate Change Ministrys forest wing and provincial forest departments for failing to control deforestation. At a meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Climate Change held at the Parliament House on Friday under the chair of MNA Hafeez-ur-Rehman Khan Drishak, the parliamentarians said that illegal forest cutting was not possible without the involvement of forest officials. They rejected the claims of fo...
Just like birds and mammals carrying seeds through a rainforest, green sea turtles and dugong spread the seeds of seagrass plants as they feed. Our team at James Cook Universitys TropWATER Centre has uncovered a unique relationship in the seagrass meadows of the Great Barrier Reef. We followed feeding sea turtle and dugong, collecting samples of their floating faecal matter. Samantha then had the unenviable job of sifting through hundreds of smelly samples to find any seagrass seeds. These seeds...

And this is the first part of this series o...
