"We are pouring #carbon #dioxide and other #gases into the #atmosphere with hardly any concern for its long term and #global-effects ... the #solutions to these #problems requires a #perspective that embraces the #planet and the #future because we are all in this #greenhouse #together."

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Refugee (Live at Farm Aid 1985)

A performance from the first Farm Aid benefit concert. Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp founded Farm Aid and serve on the board of directors. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America. The show was put together in six weeks and was held on September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois before a crowd of 80,000 people. It raised over $9 million for America's family farmers. Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and many more.

A Trip to #Infinity II - #Mandelbrot #Fractal #Zoom (Depth 3e2159) - YouTube

I've been fascinated by the #MandelbrotSet since I first saw an article about it in around #1985 and went to an exhibition about it at the #University of #Leeds. The particular #animation is particularly mesmerizing with the colour scheme chosen and lasts for three hours! I bet you can guess what happens at the end...

Note the #magnification factor at the end.
