All posts for the month March, 2016
Tenuous tentacles trying to trip trouble;
Strenuous Sentinels sighing seemingly subtle!
Fly up where the eagle sores;
And a child can understand!
Causes aren’t worth fighting wars;
Our wish is your command!
Windowless winter wonders with whimsy, wild, ways;
Fly freely from foes flutter for festive, formulated, foreplays!
Be wise as an owl who patiently lies in wait;
For just the right moment to strike!
Don’t be crying out to be here for bate;
Become the person that you like!
Sad shy sister siblings still singing some silent song;
When will we win when we’re willingly wandering wrong?
Find your voice as does the crow;
He doesn’t wait for your approval!
Not by choice, but so they will know;
Then your shyness will be in removal!
Friendly flying fish for forming four flipping filets;
Pleasantly performing poor peopling per portrait portrays!
Be like the morning lark or song bird who sings;
Without a single sung care in the world!
We need not concern our selves with gossipy things;
And that’s how our birds have unfurled!
Read more about these very peculiar objects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetar
Like other neutron stars, magnetars are around 20 kilometres (12 mi) in diameter and have a mass 2-3 times that of the Sun. The density of the interior of a magnetar is such that a thimble full of its substance would have a mass of over 100 million tons.[1] Magnetars are differentiated from other neutron stars by having even stronger magnetic fields, and rotating comparatively slowly, with most magnetars completing a rotation once every one to ten seconds,[3] compared to less than one second for a typical neutron star. This magnetic field gives rise to very strong and characteristic bursts of X-rays and gamma rays. The active life of a magnetar is short. Their strong magnetic fields decay after about 10,000 years, after which activity and strong X-ray emission cease. Given the number of magnetars observable today, one estimate puts the number of inactive magnetars in the Milky Way at 30 million or more.[3]
Release me from a broken mind;
And let me slip per say!
I beseech thee to my heart unwind;
The beating wings so pray!
Far below a whisper’s cry;
Where words so dissipate!
What be left of a sparrows sigh;
There birds so discriminate!
Release me from this prison cell;
Of masks and lies and pain!
Let me sore where others fell;
And reach the sky again!
It’s more than just a mild dream;
That justifies my position!
I could let out with a wild scream;
And flutter by high transmission!
Release me from this empty shell;
I’ve so much left to say!
Un-cup your hands, spread them well;
And let me fly away!
There’s no reason why people should be starving in the world today! There’s enough land, to provide every person on Earth with two acres! All you need is a hand full of seeds and a fork! How hard can it be? A lot of the time, the money, well-meaning people send, doesn’t even reach them! You know that kindly looking old, grandpa, always asking for donations on commercials? Well he’s a fraud! He just pockets the money! Why is it people seem to become more greedy and evil as time goes on?
The prisons fill with victims while perpetrators of serious crimes get away with it, because they have political clout, famous notoriety, or a rich Uncle! It’s gonna cost you at least $7000 for a lawyer! Have you got $7000 you can just pull out of your pocket? I don’t! So we’re found guilty due to lack of funds then. Is that the picture? Is that what ‘justice’ stands for; special treatment because of race, of sex, the wealthy? That’s not justice! That’s a convenient cash grab from the poor! Let’s at least call it what it is; robbing the helpless!
We may not see bars, yet we are imprisoned just the same; jobs, marriages, and churches can all be forms of imprisonment… What shocks me, is that these are the very institutions in place to help us! More babies have been aborted since 1974, than all the people who have died during both world wars! We have a nasty habit of sending our youth to wars, so they either come back dead, or so messed up that they just may as well be! Why don’t they just set up a boxing ring, and duke it out for themselves?
They’ve poisoned the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe! Yet still, no one cries: ‘Enough!’ Perhaps that’s because politicians all speak of change, but they don’t really mean it! This certainly isn’t the world I planned for, nor the one I would leave to my children! I think part of the problem is that we only concern ourselves with our own little corner of the world, instead of seeking ways to effect changes even within our communities in general! Perhaps we’re not asking ourselves what we really want, and that’s why we settle for whatever comes along. I think Detroit died that way… We need a spiffy, new world with some zing and pizzaz!
Housing should be built on an open concept, so people can mingle and interact with one another! Why are we paying for tap water, right beside The Great Lakes? We wonder why there’s so many suicides these days? Well now you know! Everything stinks! Looking back on all of the miserable history that has brought us this far, I ask in God’s name, when does the sun shine again for us? When will the shackles of tyranny ever be lifted from our being? When will life be fair? And when will we EVER be FREE??? I mean, since we’re all talking so civilized and all! We’ll have to be smarter than we have been! And smarter than we are now! Do something! Plant trees! Or dig holes! We need to conserve rain water in times of drought!
To avoid depleting our oceans of fish, we have to become more dependant on hatcheries as a food source, and allow the oceans to recover; there are five ‘dead zones’ around the earth’s oceans so far, and all are at least as big as the state of Texas! We have developed ways of cleaning the water. Why aren’t we implementing them? More bureaucratic stalling? ‘This is the dawning of the age of aquariums!’ We’ve got to start finding better ways of coordinating our efforts or there’ll be nothing left to coordinate! Make no mistake! A runaway greenhouse effect will kill us all! Do you think it too late? Why? What could we do to change the rules, and therefore, the outcome? Will science save us? Will God? Why aren’t we all working together as a team?
- your waiting in line, and everyone in front of you is leaving!
- you get caught stealing your neighbor’s dildo!
- everyone is looking at you, but no one is speaking!
- you open a door, and there’s nothing but air on the other side!
- you’re playing poker with a tarantula, and he has four Full Houses, a Flush, and a pair of Queens, and you have a pair of Deuces!
- you want to go through a revolving door, but you just can’t time your exit right!
- you’re the first reported case of Spotted Dick Disease!
- Donald Trump seems like a reasonable option!
- you meet the girl of your dreams, but you look like death warmed over!
- you’re sitting in Church, with a bad case of Blue Balls!
- you take the wrong turn off the exit ramp, which leads to a one way street, which leads to a dead-end, where a gang of Hoodlums are waiting!
- everyone makes a toast! But you’re the only one drinking!
- everywhere you turn, people are sneaking away from you!
- your wife had a baby with two heads!
- an elephant sits on your face!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulum_Galaxy
The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy approximately 3 million light-years (ly) from Earth in the constellation Triangulum. It is catalogued as Messier 33 or NGC 598, and is sometimes informally referred to as the Pinwheel Galaxy, a nickname it shares with Messier 101. The Triangulum Galaxy is the third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, which includes the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy and about 44 other smaller galaxies. It is one of the most distant permanent objects that can be viewed with the naked eye.
The galaxy is the smallest spiral galaxy in the Local Group and it is believed to be a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy due to their interactions, velocities[7] and proximity to one another in the night sky. It also has an H-II nucleus.[8]
With a diameter of about 60,000 light-years, the Triangulum galaxy is the third largest member of the Local Group of galaxies. It may be a gravitationally bound companion of the Andromeda Galaxy. Triangulum may be home to 40 billion stars, compared to 400 billion for the Milky Way, and 1 trillion stars for Andromeda.[6]
NGC 604 is a H II region inside the Triangulum Galaxy. It was discovered by William Herschel on September 11, 1784. It is one of the largest H II regions in the Local Group of galaxies; at the galaxy’s estimated distance of 2.7 million light-years its longest diameter is roughly 1500 light years (460 parsecs), over 40 times the size of the visible portion of the Orion Nebula. It is over 6300 times more luminous than the Orion Nebula, and if it were at the same distance it would outshine Venus. Like all emission nebulae, its gas is ionized by a cluster of massive stars at its center.[4] with 200 stars of spectral type O and WR, a mass of 105 solar masses, and an age of 3.5 million years;[2] however, unlike the Large Magellanic Cloud‘s Tarantula Nebula central cluster (R136), NGC 604’s one is much less compact and more similar to a large stellar association, being considered the prototypical example of a Scaled OB Association (SOBA)[5]
