“These are questions of mental health and must be addressed in the proper way by clinicians. But taking your own life because a teacher had once beaten you, or a tutor gave you a humiliating dressing-down is an absolutely disproportionate, and indeed wrong, response to a bad event.”

I came across a piece on the Irish Catholic on depression and suicide. Mary Kenny calls for lesson in stoicism in young people, which she describes as: “the Greek philosophy of enduring suffering bravely and without complaint.” – needless to say, this flies in the face of all the campaigning and work done to encourage young people to talk, reach out and get the help they need.

And although it’s not the primary motivation for photographing space, beauty is one of the most intriguing byproducts.

This 1:1 scale rebel fighter, built from 5,335,200 bricks, is 42 times larger than the LEGO 9493 X-Wing model it’s based on.
13m long and 3.5m tall with a 13.5 meter wingspan, it weighs nearly 21 tonnes and requires the support of an internal steel skeleton.
Built at the LEGO model shop in Kladno in the Czech Republic and shipped to New York, the model (a promo for Cartoon Networks upcoming LEGO Star Wars animated series The Yoda Chronicles) is currently on display in the middle of Times Square.
