Aki travaille dans le JEM sur une expérience contre l’atrophie musculaire. Nos muscles fondent à vitesse grand V dans l’espace. Les processus à l’œuvre sont semblables à ceux de nombreuses maladies musculaires sur Terre mais, d’une part ils sont très rapides, et d’autre part on a la chance de récupérer très vite aussi une fois de retour au sol. Par conséquent, nos muscles intéressent énormément les chercheurs qui veulent comprendre ces phénomènes pour aider les malades. Ici, l’expérience observe les cellules musculaires et plus particulièrement un inhibiteur de l’atrophie nommé C14Cblin ainsi que le Celastrol, un composé chimique qui pourrait aider les muscles à repousser.
Aki working on the Anti-Atrophy experiment in the JEM. As our muscles waste away in space (resembling the progress of many muscular diseases on Earth) but thankfully we return to normal once we are back on firm ground, this process is very interesting for researchers. If they can understand why first of all we lose our muscle, and then how we get it back it could help people who have muscular problems. This experiment is looking at the process on a cellular level and is specifically testing atrophy inhibitors to stop muscles wasting away, called C14Cblin (it seems biologists also like their acronyms), but also a muscle accelerator to grow muscles back, called Celastrol. Here space is used as a quick way to check processes that would require more time on Earth!

Norfolk Southern's fleet of manned helper workhorses is essential for moving heavy tonnage up and over the Eastern Continental Divide.
Taken on the way to Anaheim where we saw Trans Siberian Orchestra. I have no photos for the next two days because I got hit by a vicious cold that night. Today is the first day I can somewhat function enough to turn on the computer and process photos.
April is a hard-core fitness guru who owns/operates multiple nutrition stores in Ventura County in addition to being a competitive body builder and bikini model. She trains year-round and also has the time to operate multiple businesses.
Don't tell anyone, but I also have a sneaking suspicion that I'm going to be doing her wedding next year. You just watch.
More photos from our studio shoot on my blog. Go show it some love.
Oh, and yes I realize she's topless. My wife was in the other room while we were shooting. I don't see anything wrong with a shoot like this. I never as much saw a nipple.
What has become an annual event that just keeps on keeping on, is the Auto fest Spring car Nats held in Shepparton. Here is a link to the event organisers page, autofest.com.au/.
The event has been going for over 30 years, and for many there is no better way to spend the weekend than with like-minded people, as the entrants burn rubber with an excess of horsepower, that is thankfully quite obscene : )
There was and is everything from the go to woe, handling events, drifting, and of cause burn outs! Burnouts bouncing of the rev limiting, literally hitting the red line burnouts. How much rubber do they burn, enough so I can smell it from my house nearly a mile away : ) PS the smoke signals might be cultural appropriation, so some one should bring along a Pontiac and make it officially ok : P
Jack Danniels www.jackdaniels.com/en-au has a bar, so Tennessee is represented, although in the main part, not much American iron turns up at the event in comparison to the Australian contingent and Japanese cars.
V8s are the flavor, although you might be surprised like I was this year to see a Honda S2000 turn up, a pleasant inclusion, with one of the all-time great 4 bangers in it.
Black snot is a thing, that is if you can handle the close quarters action! You might like to take some year plugs, even then for about mile you will still be able to hear the cars at it.
As a car enthusiast I enjoy the day, friendly people getting their thing on, and having a great time.
PS. Make sure you drink lots of water, and keep hydrated!

All the lights are focused on you
I can hear applause as your body talks
Rumour has it you're on the loose
What do you adore?
Shall we both explore this fantasy?
- Years and Years, Muscle
Heard this one a couple days ago, and since my model Baronet picked up a new body (Inithium's 'Kario'), figured I'd explore it as a photographic subject.
My, this body does some good stuff.
Space Muscle
This SHIP is the alien misconception of a muscle car, scaled up to a space going vessel.
There is a grille with headlights, a bonnet with rallye stripe, a cockpit with a magic tree, a V6 motor and one of them roundish thingies, I think they're called wheel.
For the thrust I've added the rocket engine that's been around since my first SHIP in 2019, never had the heart (or need for those parts) to dismantle it.
Toy Project Day 2972
I needed this small plate (15x 25 cm) as an experiment for a larger project. I had wet a few sheets of paper to print it. Usually you wet the paper the night before and keep it moist; the moisture soaks the fibers evenly, so that during printing the pressure of the press pushes it into even the finest marks to grab off the ink. But I didn't print, the day after.
I forgot the wet paper for more than a month in a plastic bag. When picked it up it was still wet but with a pleasant pink mold.
So - even considering the subject matter - I printed the etching on the moldy paper and this is the result.
Questa piccola lastra (15x 25 cm) mi serviva come esperimento per un progetto di maggiori dimensioni. Avevo bagnato qualche foglio di carta per stamparla. Di solito la carta si bagna la sera prima e si mantiene umida, in modo che l’umidità impregni le fibre uniformemente, così che durante la stampa la pressione del torchio la spinge dentro i segni anche più fini a strappare l’inchiostro. Poi non ho stampato. E ho dimenticato la carta bagnata per più di un mese in una busta di plastica. L’ho presa ed era ancora umida ma con una piacevole muffa rosa.
Così anche considerando il soggetto, ho stampato sulla carta ammuffita e questo è il risultato.
