Do you find yourself spending more time texting, tweeting, or emailing as opposed to talking to real-time people?
Has the amount of time you spend on your cell phone been increasing? Then you are a sad addict
Out in the countryside near Mandalay the land is very fertile and there are many products grown for the markets. This young man was plowing in bare feet with a very basic plow and stopping to check his cell phone.
Profession gardien de Zoo à mi-temps, il faut assurer le repas bi-hebdomadaire des tardigrades de l’expérience Cell Science 4 🔬. Les chercheurs étudient les effets de l’impesanteur et de l’environnement spatial sur ces créatures microscopiques qu’on surnomme parfois oursons d'eau. L’espèce la plus grande peut mesurer jusqu’à 1 mm de long, mais en général ils sont microscopiques… Ces créatures sont incroyablement résistantes, capables de survivre à des environnements extrêmes sur Terre comme dans l’espace : certains sont revenus de plusieurs jours à l’extérieur, dans le vide, avec des températures de +100 à -100 degrés, sans un dommage... Dans le cas de Cell Science 4, les scientifiques essayent d’identifier les gènes qui leur permettent de survivre durant des séjours plus ou moins longs dans l’espace, et d’évaluer comment l’utilisation de ces gènes change au cours des générations dans le but d’exploiter pour les humains les secrets de leur incroyable résilience !
Feeding the tardigrades! 🌱 Researchers are investigating the effects of microgravity on these microscopic creatures, also known as water bears, through an experiment called Cell Science 4🔬 #DYK the largest tardigrade species is just over 1mm in length and they're incredibly hardy – surviving extreme environments in space and on Earth. In this case, researchers want to characterise the genes that allow tardigrades to survive during short and long periods in space, then assess how the use of these genes changes across generations Maybe we can harness their secrets!

No real history found scouring the internet but my experience is that its harder to get into a prison than out.
The impromptu 2 day tour with camerashy and host to France and Belgium, with some new places, a lot of travel with minimal sleep and some goals being accomplished by getting to a certain school.

While out walking the other day I came across a bit of broken electronics laying on the side of the road. I don't know what it was when it was whole because only a small bit holding these tiny button cell batteries remained. Possibly a small flashlight? As I don't like leaving discarded batteries I find laying around in nature, I stuck them in my pocket and brought them home to dispose of them properly. Before I did I tested them with a battery tester, and despite looking very weathered, they are all good. Guess I'll keep them, they might come in handy for something.
Turning light into power, solar arrays are a must-have for the vast majority of satellites.
With solar arrays sized according to the power needs of the mission, there might be thousands of individual solar cells crammed onto a typical satellite.
The design seen here is a thin version of the European 3G30 triple-junction gallium arsenide solar cell. Produced by Azur Space Solar Power, it is one of the most efficient in the world.
It was 60 years ago this month that the first practical solar (or ‘photovoltaic’ cell) was demonstrated at Bell Labs in New Jersey, USA. This new invention’s very first practical use was in powering early satellites, and solar cells remain pivotal to the space industry to this day.
But photovoltaic electricity generation is also on the way to becoming a major terrestrial energy source, projected to supply close to 3% of global electricity demand by 2020.
This bright future will be the focus of the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, this September.
Thousands of experts will discuss the progress of photovoltaic technology across – as well as off – the planet.
Historically, the space industry has helped to drive advances in photovoltaics. For instance, the gallium arsenide cells powering today’s satellites are more than twice as efficient as those installed on domestic rooftops.
With such successes in mind, ESA has begun an initiative devoted to the synergies between space and energy technology called Space for Energy, with solar energy a major element.
Meanwhile, next week sees the ESA-organised European Space Power Conference in Noordwijkerhout, the Netherlands, covering all aspects of electrical power for space missions, including batteries, power components and nuclear power.

Thank you very much for all your kindness. I and my families and my friends are all ok (so far)! As you know, there was a huge earthquake yesterday afternoon. I was in Tokyo when the series of the earthquakes occurred. All the train in metropolitan areas had been stopped for many hours in order to check the safety(not due to derailed or accidents). We had to go home on foot. I saw some bumped roads and cracks on the way to home, as long as I saw, there were no serious corruption of the buildings or houses around my town.
According to the further news report, the residential areas in my prefectures haven't had serious damage so far, excepting some sad individual accidents, But North parts of the main land of Japan(the center area of the earthquakes) have horrible and severe damages by quakes, tsunamis and fire.
I have never experienced such a huge earthquake. Still, aftershocks(it's weak) occur every half or an hour. Although aftershocks are getting fewer and weaker, we must keep eyes on them and try to prepare for next possible huge earthquakes as much as possible.
I am very sorry about all the victims and their families. We started to know the damage are much more serious than we thought.
Lately huge earthquakes occurred all over the world, please take good cares of an earthquake and tsunamis they cause!
A prison cell in Kilmainham Gaol. Shot through a peep hole in the door.
The tours at Dublin Castle and Kilmainham Gaol complemented each other nicely, and offered interesting information about the events that led to Irish independence.
EDIT: This is my most blogged photo. Some examples from the referrer stats (and there must be more, because not everyone links back to this page):
The base photos used here, slightly modified by me of course, were from cell cultures done by Elizabeth Normand here at Brown University. The cells are transfected with proteins that fluoresce if the protein is expressed by the cell and much of the color you see is merely enhanced but not changed.
One of several cell blocks. Most radiated from a central area like a huge flower. Though the architectural style was built to resemble a mediaeval fortress. You would not want to be interred here, particularly in its first 100 years.

Inside Cell 3,
This cell was capable of testing supersonic engines and is almost completely underground.
Entry was 'interesting'!
New girl! I didn't order Erin when she was a Club doll as I really wanted LNO Nadja and I was trying to be 'good'. I wasn't a fan of her outfit either... So the other day I popped onto eBay and who should appear at the top of my feed but this girl and from a UK seller (at a good price) so it felt like Kismet and I popped her straight in my cart without hesitation. I'm super super pleased to have her - she's a very sultry version of one of my favourite characters and completely different to my other Erins. I also thought I'd try her in the infamous silver faux leather and fur coat from In Control Erin - and personally I really love it on her!
