ANATOMICAL HEART VASE.

[isabellasinterlude-blog]

Here I want to apply science to art, with one slight difference; it is through my interpretation. 

I don't personally feel like collecting photos that i have gathered from a microscope and copying them are beneficial in any way to my project. 

So far the order of my posts are both disordered and not chronological, on this page I am looking at, as obviously shown, close ups of flowers, including what I perceive to be their make up in a very close up point of view, their structure, including 3 dimensional observations. 

As mentioned, I didn't copy these images from microscopes, ( how dull!!) instead, I spent some time observing flowers for myself, with my own eye ( not that of a man made machine), looked up closely and recorded elements that stayed with me. 

Looking at the oil painting in green, a close up view of water dew droplets on a stem. I have drawn out and painted what I feel this looked like. As a reader you probably didnt know that this is what the image is meant to be, and that is what the beauty of this all is. Drawing out exact microscopic scientific studies of the structure of plants is dull, unimaginative and leaves no room for interpretation. 

Looking at another drawing, lets say the the blue biro drawing. It is probably quite difficult to be able to tell what this is meant to be, it is actually the curling of a petal on the edge of a flower. I used the blue biro because, despite it being difficult to tell what the drawing actually is, it gives off an essence of realism and provides a lot of depth and structure to the drawing when done correctly. I love this. I want my art to look mature and not like something that has been rushed despite taking hours to make. I feel working with biro achieves that perfectly.

Could North Korea actually put a nuclear warhead atop a rocket and fire it at a potential adversary?

[hdvideo id=193]

Some still doubt North Korea can make a warhead small enough, or miniaturize it enough, to mount atop a missile. But that’s what North Korea said it proved on Friday.

South Korean monitors said Friday’s nuclear test had a yield equivalent to 10 kilotons of TNT, which would make it North Korea’s most powerful of five tests to date.

That blast came just days after North Korea test-fired three ballistic missiles, which landed in Japan’s Air Defense Identification Zone, about 155 miles (250 kilometers) from a Japanese island. Last month, a missile fired from a submarine also landed in the same zone.

‘A major concern for the region’

“They’ve been demonstrating, not just the ability to cause a nuclear detonation, but to mount it and turn it into a weapon,” said John Delury, an assistant professor of East Asian studies at Yonsei University in South Korea.

“If there’s evidence that they can do that — or they have done that — than this is a major concern for the region,” Alexander Neill, a North Korea expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies Asia, said.

Friday’s nuclear test was North Korea’s second this year, something that shows North Korea is “mastering the technology,” said Lassina Zerbo, executive secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty Organization.

But analysts say there’s no way to determine the extent of North Korea’s missile technology until they actually use it.

“We can’t learn anything about the physical size of the device,” said Melissa Hanham, senior research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, California.

“My deep fear is that they will launch a live nuclear weapon on one of their missiles,” Hanham said. “It would be hard for Japan, China, the US, to know that it was a test and not the real thing … That would be extremely dangerous as that could trigger a war.”

How should the world respond?

Reaction was swift and harsh around the world after Friday’s test with the United States, Russia, South Korea, and even China, with whom North Korea shares a border and a longtime but frayed diplomatic relationship, denouncing it.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called Friday’s test “a significant threat to the safety of our country.”

Christopher Hill, the former US ambassador to South Korea, said Friday it’s time to stop guessing about North Korea’s capabilities and start planning a response.

“Before long, I think they’re going to have a nuclear warhead on a missile and we have to look really carefully and see what we’re going to do,” said Hill, who was the top U.S. diplomat in Seoul from 2004 to 2005.

Hill said the world can’t expect North Korea to bow to further sanctions or even be open to new negotiations over its nuclear program.

“I wouldn’t make bets on whether Kim Jong Un would be a reasonable guy,” Hill said. “I don’t put it past them to threaten countries and suggest that they will be prepared to launch a nuclear strike.”

Working with China?

The solution may come in an alliance with China, said Hill, who was also assistant secretary of state for east Asian and Pacific affairs from 2005 to 2009.

“I think we need to sit down with the Chinese …. and say together we need to solve this,” Hill said of North Korea’s weapons program. “What direct means we can take to either slow it down or kill it?”

Philip Yun, executive director of the Ploughshares Fund, an organization aimed at eliminating nuclear weapons, also said the world cannot delay a response to North Korea’s testing.

“Unless we figure out a way to deal with North Korea and stop their activity at some point in the near future they’re going to have a relatively sophisticated nuclear arsenal that is capable of hitting the United States and that is a huge problem,” Yun said.

Will North Korea’s next missile test have a nuclear warhead? Could North Korea actually put a nuclear warhead atop a rocket and fire it at a potential adversary?
