Gorgeous photos show the hidden worlds that Gjerde and other lawyers are working to protect from trawling and trash-dumping, through smart policymaking and a healthy dose of PR.

“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one… just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.
People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher — a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity.
There was never a good biography of a good novelist. There couldn’t be. He is too many people if he’s any good.”

via en.wikiquote.org“Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much;
Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.”

“It is not earthly rank, nor birth, nor nationality, nor religious privilege, which proves that we are members of the family of God; it is love, a love that embraces all humanity.”

via apod.nasa.govAmplify’d from apod.nasa.govExplanation:
Of course, the Flame Nebula is not on fire.
Also known as
NGC 2024,
the nebula’s suggestive
reddish color is due to the glow
of
hydrogen
atoms at the edge of the giant Orion
molecular cloud complex some 1,500 light-years away.
The hydrogen atoms have been
ionized, or stripped of their
electrons, and glow as the atoms and electrons recombine.
But what ionizes the
hydrogen
atoms?
In this
close-up view,
the central dark lane of absorbing interstellar dust stands out
in silhouette against the
hydrogen glow
and actually hides
the true source of the Flame Nebula’s energy from optical
telescopes.
Behind the dark lane lies a cluster of hot, young stars, seen
at infrared
wavelengths through the obscuring dust.
A young, massive star in that cluster is
the likely source
of energetic ultraviolet radiation that ionizes the
hydrogen gas in the Flame Nebula.See this Amp at http://bit.ly/h8P0VX+

via en.wikiquote.org“The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.
There are people who prefer to look their fate in the eye.
When the imagination sleeps, words are emptied of their meaning: a deaf population absent-mindedly registers the condemnation of a man … there is no other solution but to speak out and show the obscenity hidden under the verbal cloak.
Do not wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day.
The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.”

via en.wikiquote.org“The battle to save life is still going on. … This battle to save life will eventually be won. … Blind faith in established experience has been shattered, outmoded regulations have been smashed.
Loving truth and living honestly is my attitude to life. Be true to yourself and be true to others, thus you can be the judge of your behavior.
Only by not forgetting the past can we be the master of the future.”

via en.wikiquote.org“Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.”

This composition in
stardust
covers almost 2 degrees
on the sky, close to the border of the zodiacal
constellation
Aries and the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy.
At the lower right of the gorgeous skyscape is a dusty blue
reflection nebula surrounding a bright star
cataloged as
van den Bergh 13 (vdB 13), about 1,000 light-years away.
At that estimated distance, the
cosmic canvas is over 30 light-years across.
Also surrounded by scattered blue starlight, vdB 16 lies
toward the upper left, while
dark dusty nebulae sprawl across the
scene.
Near the edge of a large
molecular
cloud, they can hide newly
formed stars and young stellar objects
or protostars from prying optical telescopes.
Collapsing due to
self-gravity, the
protostars
form around dense cores embedded in the molecular cloud.See this Amp at http://bit.ly/eoo3aF+
