The Last Survivours In Yemen’s Ground Zero.

On a similar scale of crimes against humanity in Syria’s Aleppo, is the ongoing carpet-bombing of civilian population areas in Yemen, conducted by the Saudi Arabian-led forces. Their food blockades have also led to near famine conditions within the Yemeni community, where 14 million people, half its population, have been scavenging for food since the war began in March 2015. This proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia is devastating Yemen, while members of the UN Security Council and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation sit on their hands; all three nations are members of these two bodies. It is atrocious that there is such a astronomical compassion deficit when it comes to human lives, among the leaders of our world, especially for civilians caught in these polemical struggles; and they want our respect!

Arp 188 and the Tadpole's Tail.
Image Credit: Hubble Legacy Archive, ESA, NASA; Processing: Faus Márquez (AAE). Distant galaxies form a dramatic backdrop for this disrupted spiral galaxy Arp 188, the Tadpole Galaxy. It is 420 million light-years distant toward the northern constellation of the Dragon (Draco), with its eye-catching tail of about 280 thousand light-years long, featuring massive, bright blue star clusters. It is theorised that a more compact intruder galaxy crossed in front of Arp 188 - from right to left in this view - and was slung around behind the Tadpole by their gravitational attraction, with tidal forces drawing out the spiral galaxy's stars, gas, and dust forming the spectacular tail. The intruder galaxy, 300,000 light-years behind the Tadpole, is seen through foreground spiral arms at the upper right.

Sunflowers (Tournesols) is the name of two series of still life paintings by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. The first series, executed in Paris in 1887, depicts the flowers lying on the ground, while the second set, executed a year later in Arles, shows a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase. In the artist's mind, both sets were linked by the name of his friend Paul Gauguin, who acquired two of the Paris versions. On March 30, 1987, Japanese insurance magnate, Yasuo Goto, paid the equivalent of US $39,921,750 for van Gogh's Still Life: Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers at auction at Christie's London. The painting currently resides at Seiji Togo Yasuda Memorial Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo.
