Paper (card)_Tube

It is a multifunctional yet simple object - impartial, with no hidden agendas and more than the sum of its atoms. Perhaps a recycled card tube is to hold rolls of paper. Or, an acoustic mirror; focusing sound frequencies that travel through the air (medium). Maybe it is a megaphone or a telescope – an object that illustrates the physical attributes of the world we occupy. You see, if you leave a tube with a child and their imagination, you discover; simplicity has many functions. Remember the cardboard box you played with as a child? Such should be intent of your self expression, your contribution, your work; elegant and simple because it makes clear, observable sense. It is fun!!!

Space Exploration

T3 TRA Lunar_Station Many argue that in aid of long term survival and preservation of biodiversity (Homo sapiens et al. species) it is fundamental that we spread to other planets. However, what is clear is that space exploration is conducive to research which will apply to conditions of the planet Earth. As we head into local unstable climate, the investigations will inform the resolve to extreme weather conditions such as floods, cold, heat waves, hurricanes, earthquakes and desertification phenomena, as well as help us understand how to manage the finite resources such as water. In addition to the pragmatic, the discovered data and celestial samples (fossils & fragments) will contribute to our comprehension of the tangible – physical and the observable – quantifiable theoretical truths. There is potential for the information we discover to help reveal the formation of the Solar System and indeed planet Earth. Human intervention is necessary but it has to be in equ...

'Simple' not ‘simplistic’ (communication)

Note: whilst this applies to other factors and scenarios, the context of this article is Communication.   When you present, debate or have a conversation you should utilise clear and articulate vocabulary to describe the complexity of the subject matter. Reserve the sophisticated and measured "geek" lexicon for the technical paper as the proven and objective evidence you base your statements on. Attach the observed data to an appendix. Remember; ' simple ' not ‘ simplistic ’... If requested for gross simplification, do not submit, be mindful that ‘riddles’ and ‘poetry’ have their place and rather find a method of delivery that captures the essence of the information in a word, a sentence, an equation, a graph, a diagram, an image, a film, a sculptural object, an instrument or a device and so forth.
