Stars for a new year
Field scabious (Knautia arvensis)
Svartskog, Norway
The colors of the flower meadows are becoming more uniformly green and yellow as the season is flowing into autumn. Capturing the amazing colors of the flowers is perhaps that most would do, but these flowers are now transformed to such a diverse kinds of seeds. Each more artistic, intricate and astonishing than the next.
Strangely I think this species is most amazing just before the flowers open, and now. I find the flowers rather whimsically arranged, although some specimens are different, but the buds and the seeds are arranged in such a delicate and symmetric way that I find myself admiring them at these stages every single year. And thus, here is another capture of the inflorescence with the amazing, star-like seeds.
At the final stage, when all the seeds are gone, even the base left is worthy of a closer encounter and a capture before it withers.
This is indeed a common, but very beautiful flower in all its stages.

NGC 2392 A beautiful death
When a star like our sun uses up all of the hydrogen in its core, it becomes what is called a "planetary nebula." The star sheds its outer layers of gas, leaving behind a hot core.
This composite image of NGC 2392 includes data from NASA's Chandra Space Telescope, showing the location of million-degree gas near the center of the planetary nebula in pink. Readings from the Hubble Space Telescope - colored red, green, and blue - show the intricate pattern of the outer layers of the star that have been ejected.

In The Net Of Life And Time -- Fort Collins, Colorado
"We patronize the animals for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they are more finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other Nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth."
― Henry Beston
A beautiful but wary mule deer doe spies me taking a photo of her and draws up in surprise as she tries to decide whether to run. I was peeking around the corner of my office building to take her photo, so I stayed stock still and waited. After a few moments, she decided I wasn't terribly dangerous and started munching on the grass again. I took a few more shots and then slowly slipped back behind the building and left her to her lunch. :)

Google's goal is to get their services up and running on many devices, regardless of the device specifications. However, many users in many countries also have data caps, which prevent them from using apps that require a lot of bandwidth. The solution (and also a recent trend)? Lite apps.
Google recently started showing ads on Facebook in Indonesia that invited users to test a new app. Those who signed up are now receiving links to test an experimental search app called "Search Lite." The goal of "Search Lite" is to provide easy access to Google Search in countries where users operate on data caps. "Search Lite" will likely use less data, support some offline features, and improved the overall search experience for users in targeted countries. The app should also technically take up less space and use less RAM.
As for the "Search Lite" app interface, it attempts to make everything easier to get to. For instance, you can easily change between a few languages by swiping the main app's page sideways. There are also several icons (customizable) that provide quick access to things like news, translation, weather, cricket scores, recipes, movies, songs, and more. just like the regular Google Search app, "Search Lite" supports voice and text searches. However, the search bar is more accessible since it is placed at the bottom of the display and it even shows suggested keyword additions on top. You can also tweak the app's settings so that results are confined to just lite web pages and so that the app uses the internal browser rather than your default browser.
If you want to try out "Search Lite," you have to currently be in Indonesia to simply view the app's listing on the Play Store, and you may also need to be on the pre-approved list for testing.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, a source told longtime NBA writer Chris Sheridan the four-time MVP is already planning for his exit. "This will be LeBron's final season in Cleveland," the source told Sheridan. "He is 100 percent leaving. Relationship with owners beyond repair." When James re-signed with Cleveland in July 2014, he appeared unlikely ever to depart Northeast Ohio a second time. In his first-person essay with Sports Illustrated's Lee Jenkins announcing his return to the Cavs, James emphasized "my calling here goes above basketball."
