In the lab, resources are being developed to enhance the resilience of the emerging bioenergy seed oil crop, penny cress, to climate change. Specifically, Alyssa Carrell is focused on utilizing microbes to increase penny cress's ability to withstand higher temperatures. This ties into other work to employ microbiomes to extend plant phenotypes to enhance their resilience to climate change.

About Skill-Pill Mobile Learning
Skill-Pill Mobile Learning is based in London and has been developing mobile learning applications for corporate clients in the US, UK and mainland Europe. Skill-Pills are two minute long video clips – mobile learning applications that run on any video-enabled mobile/cellphone, smartphone, Blackberrry, PDA, iPod and if you are lucky to own one yet – the iPhone! Branded Skill-Pills are designed to reinforce or refresh past learning and training at a point when the user needs it most; typically just before an event that they were trained for. For example, it could be a tough negotiation, a sales meeting or an important presentation. Skill-Pills provide a quick and compelling reminder of the salient techniques and lessons recently acquired.
The learning pill is delivered to your phone via an SMS and acts as a memory prompt. The information is presented in video, using images, text, voice, music and motivational triggers to encourage people to perform at their best. The briefing is succinct and concise, providing just enough information, just-in-time. Skill-Pills can be linked to your electronic calendar management system and you can specify when you want one sent to your phone – just before key events in your working week.
The real value proposition of Skill-Pill, is in bringing the key learning right into the heart of a person's working life. One of the most difficult parts of training is ensuring that people practice and assimilate their new skills in the workplace. A Skill-Pill can improve the retention and the application of critical and often expensive training at the point where it's needed the most.

Developing my eye to make art from salvaged iron I was a picker of vintage for 20 plus years here are some of the items I have bought to sell.. Taught Self to weld oct 2013 now they call me an artist Raymond Guest at Recycled Salvage Design recycledsalvagedesign.com
Some odd scans from some colour 35mm films developed in b/w chems. Its from a mix of cheap kodak and fuji film. I need to keep the developer warmer but I still like the results.
...new high-strength bolts for the stock RB26 rods.
Price, about $500 for the set.
A cheap insurance :)
in college, adulthood doesnt approach you gently. it kinda knocks you over and hits you all at once.
all part of my final project for my photo class. there's supposed to be an order but flickr goes by date, not by what i want. it was a personal reflection on my experiences as a college freshman and how i transformed from a child into an adult

The OT-64 SKOT (Czech acronym for: Střední Kolový Obrněný Transportér, and/or Polish Średni Kołowy Opancerzony Transporter – medium wheeled armoured transporter) is an amphibious armoured personnel carrier (8×8), developed jointly by the Polish People's Republic (PRL) and Czechoslovakia (ČSSR) well into the 1960's.
Until the early 1970's Czechoslovakia and the Polish People's Republic produced around 4,500 OT-64 SKOT's of all variants, just under a third of which were exported. In 2002, the modernization of the SKOT transporter began in Poland. The work resulted in the KTO Ryś prepared by Wojskowe Zakłady Mechaniczne No. 5 from Poznań.
The OT-64 was intended to replace the halftrack OT-810, which was nearly identical to the German Sd.Kfz. 251 from World War II. The first prototype was built in 1959. In 1961 the first sample series were built. From October 1963 the vehicles were produced in Lublin, Poland by Fabryka Samochodów Ciężarowych. The Polish plant acted as an assembly plant. Components of the propulsion system and power transmission, Tatra engine, Praga transmission and chassis, were imported from Czechoslovakia.
Armoured hulls and turrets (Huta in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski and Huta Częstochowa), elements of the suspension system (Huta Stalowa Wola) and on-board armaments (Zakłady Mechaniczne in Tarnów) were manufactured in Poland. Production ended in July 1971. Of the 4,500 OT-64's produced, 2,500 were obtained by the Polish army, and 2,000 by the Czechoslovak army. They were also acquired by the Hungarian army. Later, after introducing the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles into service, SKOT transporters were exported to other countries. Today, they are gradually being replaced by newer vehicles.
The OT-64's engine, transmission, suspension and axles were produced in Czechoslovakia. The engine was produced by Tatra. The gearbox was manufactured by Praga Hostivař. It has a pre-select Praga-Wilson gearbox, 5 forward +1 reverse gears. A gear is selected using the gear stick. When the gear is required the left pedal, gear change action/clutch combined, is pressed to the floor, giving a hiss of air sound. On release of the pedal the dry plate clutch engages after about half the return spring controlled movement.
The drive then passes to an auxiliary gearbox with low, neutral and high ratios which needs to be selected before moving off, for road/neutral/off-road use. This gives option to the driver of 10 forward and 2 reverse ratios. The gear change pedal is hydraulic and on action opens an air valve which causes the selected gear to engage. The armoured hull and weapons were produced in Poland.
The OT-64 was the answer to the Soviet BTR-60. Contrary to this, the OT-64 used a diesel set in place of a petrol engine. That diminished the danger of fire and at the same time increased the range. The main advantage in relation to the Russian counterpart was the full-armoured interior. The entrance is at the rear of the vehicle via twin doors. The OT-64 has nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection facility and night-vision equipment. It has central inflation for all wheels which can be controlled by the driver. The OT-64 is air-transportable and amphibious, with two propellers installed at the back.
Several variants were built. Some OT-64 were re-equipped for air defense or built as tank hunters. The latter used the AT-3 Sagger missile as a weapon.
▪︎OT-64 SKOT entered service with Polish and Czechoslovak armies in 1963. It was produced until the early 1970's. It is still in service in Poland and Slovakia, among other operated by the Slovak police. Czech units were replaced in 2006 by new armoured vehicles Pandur II CZ. During the 1990's, Slovakia purchased hundreds of these units from the Czech Republic (150 in 1994, 100 in 1998). Slovaks then sold them to mainly African countries. The OT-64 SKOT was exported to eleven countries. The total number of vehicles produced was 4,500.
