The famous vending machines, known as jidouhanbaiki or jihanki, are a part of the Japanese landscape whether one is at the cities or the countryside. According to the country’s tourist organization, Japan is home to some 5.52 million machines, the highest ratio of machines to landmass in the entire world.
They are super convenient, selling all kinds of (weird) warm /cold/alcoholic drinks and of course due to the Japan’s low crime rate are rarely ever vandalized.
In recent years of course the vending machine craze has grown out of proportion, with the things one can get at such a machine (apart from “standard” cooked meals!) including bread in cans, crepes, bananas, fresh eggs, batteries, umbrellas, flowers, neckties and underwear, to name a few…

The engineering mockup of the Robotic Refueling Mission (RRM) module is currently on display within the press building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The RRM mission is a joint effort between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency designed to demonstrate and test the tools, technologies, and techniques needed to robotically refuel satellites in space. Reporters have the opportunity to get a close-up view of the replica module and tools that are a part of the final shuttle mission payload.
The cube-shaped RRM module breaks down each refueling activity into distinct, testable tasks and provides the components, activity boards, and tools to practice them. Four unique tools are stowed within RRM until the Dextre robot retrieves them.

Reading the latest catch reports in the Clyde estuary ,with nothing looking bright I decided to look for myself round the sea loch . Quick round up the troops , 6 kayak later and a wet morning we paddle towards Carrick castle .The theme of the day would be paddling to the castle ,fishing along the way and seeing for ourselves what is really there . We paddle to the first corner with a little light beacon sticking out of a rock . Fishing close to the bottom small codling , kelp cod would take the baited lures . Every one was doing well drifting along , even a poor cod came up the way . We paddle to Carrick castle , collecting some mussels and admiring the scenery . Pit stop for myself , had to be quick , pull my buff over my head and face the midges . My hand was covered with little black dots , I went straight back on the yak and paddled away . Decent cod then came up for stu , nice to see those fish are still in the sea lochs . Part 2 was concentrating on the mackerel . A few fish came on during the day ,4 or 5 . We were waiting for the tide coming back up and spread ourselves maximising our chances . Fishing was so slow I lazed on the kayak ,then decided to paddle and rejoin my friends . 15 Mn later I could see them having fun . 2 rods and set of feathers I was right into the shoal . 6 fish on one rod and the other rod banging away . I took my 12 king size mackerel fresh from the sea and called it a day . The mackerels are back , 3 weeks in a row now catching in different places .Liam ,our mackerel king had about 40 and this year the size of the fish are exceptional . Find that shoal and you are in for some sport .Till next time ,tight line .Nicolas
The Leyland Hippo first came in to service as a 6x4 ten ton truck in 1944.

A most lucky shot to capture. This was not planned. What are the chances that 1) we would have a clear day in February in Green Bay; 2) I would be out with my camera; and 3) an Air Force KC-135 tanker would be doing an inflight refueling of a Navy E-6 almost directly overhead? The E-6 is moving up under the tanker and the fuel probe is being extended.

A MASwings' ATR 72-500 turboprop short haul aircraft being refueled at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport. Little did I know that I would be boarding this connecting flight to Tawau, en route to Kuala Lumpur.
This plane was much quieter than I expected; compared to the old bone jarring Fokker Friendship F.27 operated by the former Malaysia Airline System in the 80s!
The ATR 72-500 is a pressurized turboprop with a service ceiling of around 25,000 feet which is more than adequate to clear the peak of Mount Kinabalu, the tallest mountain in SE Asia @ 13,455 feet. I could see the mountain during the flight as it doesn't fly as high as the Boeing 737-400/800. The weather was fine with no air turbulence during the journey. :-)
MASwings is a regional carrier and the ATR 72-500 is much more economical to fly to remote destinations within Borneo, including some cities in neighboring Kalimantan, Indonesia. Smaller towns in Borneo usually have shorter runways which rule out bigger jet aircraft, which need a longer take off and landing distance.
While this plane cannot fly directly from Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Lumpur crossing the South China Sea, it could only do so by refueling at the Kuching International Airport. The distance from Kuching to Kuala Lumpur is 810 kilometers, well within its operating range.
Single engined sea planes generally have non-pressurized cabins, including the twin turboprop DHC-6 Twin Otter, so they'll have to fly no more than 14,000 feet to avoid high altitude sickness due to the lower oxygen content. Low altitudes also mean having to fly into bumpy clouds and experiencing rougher atmosphere, which in turn means you'll wanna hold on to that barf bag. :o)

On June 28, Goddard hosted a Media/VIP/Employee Day to explain the Robotic Refueling Mission (RRM) payload onboard STS-135. The joint effort between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency is designed to demonstrate and test the tools, technologies, and techniques needed to robotically refuel satellites in space. Reporters were also provided an in depth look into how Goddard has provided the communications network for voice, data and video support throughout the shuttle program.
Many visitors where able to try their hand manipulating a replica of the robotic arm that will be used during the Robotic Refueling Mission operations.
