If I was a Middle-earth dweller I would probably be a hobbit that dreams of being an ethereal elf.

Visitors Chainsaw Iconic Joshua Trees in National Park During Gov't Shutdown

Joshua trees are beautiful, but humans can be pretty awful.

Joshua Tree National Park is about the size of Delaware, but only eight law-enforcement rangers were tasked with protecting the 1,238 square mile (3,207 square kilometers) wonderland during the shutdown.

Repeated radio signals are coming from a galaxy 1.5 billion light years away

Scientists pick up large number of blasts over a few weeks

Scientists have spotted repeated blasts of radio signals coming from deep in space.

The breakthrough is only the second time scientists have seen such a repeating radio burst. It both deepens the mystery and offers a potential opportunity to finally understand what might be throwing out the burst from a galaxy billions of light years away.

Fast radio bursts have been speculated to be the result of everything from exploding stars to transmissions from aliens. But they have remained entirely mysterious, with little evidence at all of where they might be coming from.

The flashes only last for a milisecond but they are flung out with the same amount of energy the sun takes 12 months to produce.

Probably most exciting of the new bursts is one that scientists saw repeat six times, apparently from the same location. Of the more than 60 fast radio bursts detected so far, only one of them has ever repeated.

Surviving a Desert

Only move at dusk and dawn. 

Cover yourself. The sun is an old and angry thing. 

Try not to leave tracks. 

Not all that is visible is real. 

Not all that is real is visible. 

When you start hearing the voices of the dead, settle down and do not move. They will pass you by. 

Do not approach caravans. 

Dreams had in the desert are either prophetic or real. Decide wisely which to believe. 

There are no wolves here. You will hear them anyway. 

Never rest in the bottom of a dune valley. 

Do not speak to anything that has not proven itself to be human. 

When the sand shakes, run. 

Cover your mouth. The sand will coat your lungs. 

Seeing things in the day is not a problem. Seeing things at night should be.  

Never play the flute. 

Always carry a sack of sugar for hungry things. 

You are meat. Do not forget this fact. 

If there is something in your periphery, do not look at it. It wants you to. 

Dig yourself into the ground in a sandstorm. The wind will take you away. 

The flames are not real. 

The shadows are not real. 

Never close your tent flap all the way. It is impolite. 

Never let your lantern go out. 

The ancient have no love for the young. 

Do not drink water offered to you. 

Do not watch the dancers. They will trick you. 

There should be no clouds. If there are, move until they disappear. 

Travel alone. You will invariably lose your companions. 

Someone will cry out for help. Do not follow the voice. 

The murmurs of veiled ones are to be disregarded.

(1927-2013)

Kenojuak Ashevak, a Canadian artist and printmaker, is regarded as one of the most notable pioneers of modern Inuit art

She was born in Ikirasaq, an Inuit camp, at the southern coast of Baffin Island

Her father was a hunter, fur trader, and respected shaman. When she was only six years old, he was assassinated by Christian converts.

She was arranged to marry a local hunter, but was reluctant, and even playfully threw pebbles at him when he approached her

She was one of the first Inuit women in Cape Dorset to begin drawing, and she went on to create the first Inuit stained glass window for the John Bell Chapel in Ontario

She worked in graphite, colored pencils, poster paints, watercolor, and acrylics as well as creating etchings and carvings from soapstone
