iss065e033958 (May 12, 2021) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 65 Flight Engineer Megan McArthur services donor cell samples inside the Kibo laboratory module's Life Science Glovebox. The samples are being compared to cells on Earth so scientists can document the significant differences in microgravity. The Celestial Immunity study’s results may provide insights into new vaccines and drugs and advance the commercialization of space.

There is difference between what we think we communicate and what we communicate for real. That is what I wanted to represent... But I'm not sure that the idea has been represented as well as I wanted...

Thank you @seansouthey for sharing this wonderful photo! Thank you for collaborating with me! Please check out his awesome feed guys!
There will be a time that reality hits us. It hits us hard to the point that we are sick and tired of being sick tired and not doing any thing about it. So waiting is not an option anymore. There's a difference of fighting a battle and you lost because you have no idea what you are fighting for and fighting and surrender because you know, no matter how hard you fight, you're gonna lose anyway.
Let's all take a moment to think why we are fighting for that battle, how we fight and what we are fighting for. Because if we figure all these things out, we will absolutely know if it's worth fighting for.
Have an awesome Sunday everyone!

Imagine if you were unable to touch or kiss your newborn baby. This is an ordeal thousands of families, whose child arrives too soon, too small or too sick, are forced to go through each year. But you can help. By baking and selling cupcakes, you’ll be raising funds to help support families during what can be a very lonely and frightening time, and to provide a brighter future for their babies.
Some facts and figures:
• There is a shortage of 1,150 nurses to care for the 70,000 babies in need of specialist hospital care in England. Less than a third of units have enough nurses to meet minimum standards.
• Neonatal units are working way above recommended occupancy levels meaning there is no safety net for peaks in the number of babies being admitted to units.
• Families of babies admitted to specialist hospital care face a crippling financial strain on top of the normal costs of having a new baby.
• Over half of parents face the prospect of not being able to stay near their baby in hospital due to a shortage of overnight rooms for families.
Cake A Difference is the annual fundraising initiative from Bliss, the special care baby charity. Bliss offers guidance and information at a critical time in families' lives, funds ground-breaking research and campaigns for babies to receive the best possible level of care regardless of when and where they are born. Cake A Difference 2011 takes place from 14-20 February 2011.

We all have subtle differences - shape, colour, size and so on. In time, we begin to pair off with like-minded souls. But nature sometimes sees it fit to leave a single creature, through no fault of its own, alone.
Yesterday the KIrkcaldy Photographic Society www.kirkcaldyphotographicsociety.co.uk had another great day out to Morton Lochs, Tentsmuir Forest and Kinshaldy Beach. It was sunny and dry and despite the waves in the accompanying dog-walker shot, it was very pleasant. Today after a night of high winds and horizontal rain, fierce waves were lashing over the sea-wall (see other photo). What a difference a day makes indeed.
I think this photo shows the differences between the female house (left) and purple (right) finches very well. In addition to the very distinctive markings on the purple finche's face, you can also see that she is a stockier more squared off looking bird. That said, when they aren't seen together, they can still be challenging since the individuals of both species exhibit a lot of variation in color/markings.
I visited Stonehaven today, last visit was a few years ago.
The local authority have built a walkway all along the beachfront from the open air swimming pool right up to the bay , what a difference it has made for locals and tourists .
I walked along the new wooden framed path , along the way I came across various metal sculptures , this is one of them, all depict the towns relationship wth the fishing industry and the sea.
The metal sculptures are miniatures and look like they had many hours put into making them, I feel they compliment the town and are a great attraction, so much so I tracked as many as I could during my visit, I found nine, though no mention of the sculptor or any info on the individual sculptures themselves.
I checked google , again no info, for me the mystery adds to their character , I love them , I thought it was a great find , made the day more enjoyable .
Stonehaven
Stonehaven is a town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It lies on Scotland's northeast coast and had a population of 11,602. After the demise of the town of Kincardine, which was gradually abandoned after the destruction of its Royal castle in the Wars of Independence, the Scottish Parliament made Stonehaven the successor county town of Kincardineshire. Stonehaven had grown around an Iron Age fishing village, now the "Auld Toon", and expanded inland from the seaside. As late as the 16th century, old maps indicate the town was called Stonehyve, Stonehive, Pont also adding the alternative Duniness. It is known informally to locals as Stoney
Loch Etive is one of the most unique sea lochs in the UK. It is approx. 20 miles from the head of the loch to Connel Bridge, where it joins the Firth of Lorn forming the spectacular Falls of Lora, the only two-way tidal falls in Europe. Due to the two sets of narrows, at Bonawe and Connel, the loch has an extraordinary tidal system which gives a two hour difference between high water at Connel, and Bonawe, a distance of only 5 miles. This also has an effect on the salt content in the water - the surface layer of the water at the head of the loch can be almost fresh. The loch is over 400ft deep in places.
As you can imagine this environment attracts a very wide range of fish. It is one of the few places we have encountered where you can catch brown trout and pollack on the same tackle at the same mark! It is a good place to catch a wide range of species and it is relatively easy to catch half a dozen different types of fish in one session.
When I went back home to Northern Wisconsin, there is very little if any light pollution. So you can see Billions and Billions of Stars.

"A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences."

'The Smiths' formed six years after the start of the British punk rock scene, and perhaps projected into their way-of-being three elements from this cultural dynamic: a sense of make-do or DIY, a sense of commentating from outside of society (unemployment culture included), and a sense of opinion generated from polemical example.
Punk rock is today perhaps famous for its blanket nihilisms: “Anarchy in the UK”, “White riot”, “No future” - all with varied forms of the Vivian Westwood dress-sense. Aside this ultra-vivid self-created stigma, the late 70s musical/cultural movement of UK Punk had created lyrical and musical vignettes that stayed on record players and transferred to C60 chrome mix-tapes: “Easy germ free adolescence” ('X-Ray Spex' 78) plotted a closed 'existential' in the life of an individual; 'Lost in a supermarket' ('The Clash' 79) was another vignette, but this time describing a poetic angle into a modern life that many could relate to, and, as a third example - “Love comes in spurts” ('The Voidoids' 76) - featuring a lyric that uses 'childish' shock word-play and active double-meanings to register and parody existing lyrical convention, whilst describing certain truisms. It can be said that depictions of highly specific sentiments; unusual but collective views on the modern world and the shock use of words and their dynamic meanings became the terrain of the 'post punk', 'DIY' Manchester band - 'The Smiths'.
With the lyrical whit of their singer Morrissey, 'The Smiths' kept a punkist sense of polemical charge (“The Queen is Dead”; “Hang the DJ” and “Meat is Murder”) whilst systematically developing individual and social themes. If musical skills were often missing (or denied) during UK Punk, then the Post Punk years saw an overt return of musical virtuosity (hand in hand with groups higher on idea and form than musical technicity). One nest of guitar skills hovered around the New York City band 'The Voidoids' with Tom Verlain, Robert Quine and Richard Lloyd all important Post Punk guitar stylists (even if US 'Post Punk' arrived before UK Punk - for example 'Pere Ubu' 1975). Around 1980 in Manchester England, a man who could match 'Nick Drake' for reserve produced a low-key, but much listened to record titled “The return of the Durutti Column” (a Spanish civil war reference in the name and title) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pddox1SYHko. 'The Durutti Column's Vini Reilly's meticulous detailing of guitar melody was perhaps matched across the city of Manchester by the extraordinary guitar style of Johnny Marr – the principle co-songwriter to 'The Smiths', whose style became clearly visible as early as 'The Smith's' second single. Marr's sense of shimmering detailing is also clearly apparent in the example of this moving lens test.
Fireworks are of so many colours and effects, and the post punk DIY musical alternatives were varied. Despite their differences, there are a few bands that help to put 'The Smiths' into an early context. 'Vic Godard's Subway Sect' had perhaps started out as a British version of 'The Voidoids' ('Double negative' 1978 www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fsYYG_Qf0Q) and had evolved by 1981 into melodic anti pop www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cgzwQBtFaA an approach perhaps akin to the relationship between 'New Wave cinema' and traditional cinema. Again from 1981, the group 'Orange Juice' were inhabiting melody and lyric without the desire to provide 'expected' popularist results: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmpNSpzx2wI. 'The Smiths' projected aside many groups, Dandyisms, deconstructions and observations and, with some of the lyrical landscapes of Morrissey, were one of the groups that held on longest to the polemical side of punk rock. With the guitar of Johnny Marr, they were also one of the groups that pushed furthest from initial DIY ethics into artistic, holistic and highly developed forms. By the release of 'The Queen is Dead' in 1986 they had refined their idiosyncrasies to such an extent that they had produced a record that could be compared against the very “classic” albums they were initially reflecting against.
Prolific songwriters, 'The Smiths' took subject to swathes of British youth, and were another input of inspiration for a new generation of musicians. Postcard, Pop Aural and Rough Trade layered under Creation, Domino and Sarah, and new bands evolved without a close proximity to Punk rock. Contemporary journalists (including ones associated with Manchester's Guardian), muse, relay and decree that it is now time to stop listening to the work of Morressey. The Smiths split in 1987, and in the decades since, Morrissey has remained loyal to his polemical approach to social subjects. I certainly never wanted to hang a DJ, but played the song. One of the tracks that we should apparently be boycotting is a recently released duet with Thelma Houston: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cB93OUF_sA
The track “Some girls are bigger than others' comes from the 1986 record and is a construction with the most minimal idea of verse, and thus arrives almost straight into the chorus, with a slightly detached and minimal refrain. The lyric takes a line that can be associated with both male machismo and the observational naivety of a small child: playing the idea straight as the thought of a young male adult faced by the enormity of mankind's diversity. By referring to the ice age, the lyric also points out that these differences come from the depths of the human race and are not a modern celebrity surface.
"From the ice-age to the dole-age, there is but one concern. I have just discovered; some girls are bigger than others... "
For the images in the lens test I replaced the 'girls' of the song with the animate 'bodies' of 'mother earth', as reflected by her waterfalls. The shots involve a variety of lenses and locations either side of the Pyrénées.

President George Washington thought political parties were self-serving tyrants that exacerbated tribal and regional differences for their own benefit at the expense of the country, e.g. North or South, city or rural. In his farewell address, America's first outgoing President asked Americans to step outside the hypnotic spell, which he called the "awe", of political parties and party leaders in order to serve the greater good of the country and its citizen government. "Unawed" would mean carefully deliberated, uninfluenced by party hyperbole and seduction. Washington declared to his fellow countrymen:
"This government, the offspring of our own choice, uninfluenced and unawed, adopted upon full investigation and mature deliberation, completely free in its principles, in the distribution of its powers, uniting security with energy, and containing within itself a provision for its own amendment, has a just claim to your confidence and your support. Respect for its authority, compliance with its laws, acquiescence in its measures, are duties enjoined by the fundamental maxims of true liberty. The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government. But the Constitution which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government.
All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests.
However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
–Declared President George Washington in his Farewell Address to the nation in 1796.

Iandra Castle. George and Elizabeth Greene were settlers with a difference when they purchased their 32,000 acre property in 1878. They built their first homestead named Mount Oriel House in 1880. Greene was a NSW politician and a man with ideas. By the time he died in 1911 his Mount Oriel estate had over 20,000 acres sown in crop. His obituary said he came to a landscape of bush and transformed it into a granary. His estate used 700 horses and employed over 600 people plus various chaffcutters, thrashers etc and the woolshed sheared 30,000 sheep. He came to NSW in 1847 with his parents and spent most of his life on pastoral properties before he purchased Iandra. He dreamed of a medieval feudal system to grow vast areas of crop with little labour. He was regarded as the most important wheat farmer in Australia along with William Farrer who developed his rust resistant wheat type. Greene claims to have introduced the concept of share farming to Australia. He provided the land and took half of the value of the crop but the share farmer bought the seed, fertiliser and provided the labour to sow and reap the crop. But did he? Share cropping was common in the American south after the Civil War and Elizabeth Onlsow (nee MacArthur of Camden Park NSW) introduced share farming on their dairy property in 1887. Greene established his village with houses for the fifty sharefarmers contracted to work his lands. He started with one share farmer in 1891 and gradually expanded the system. His estate manager, named Leonard l’Anson came from Waterloo in South Australia and members of the Freebairn family from Alma in SA also moved to Iandra to be share farmers. George Greene wanted a medieval castle like a medieval lord. Iandra castle was built in 1908 with 57 rooms, castellations and towers but the construction was decidedly modern with reinforced concrete walls. The style was slightly Gothic but the interior was very Edwardian with wood panelling and Art Nouveau stained glass panels etc. The external concrete was rendered to appear like stone. It cost around £63,000 to build. The property included stables, a manager’s residence, outbuildings, blacksmith shop, sheds etc. Near the house was a chapel built in 1886 and a cemetery. When George Greene died in 1911 he was buried there. The estate was partially broken up in 1914 and most share farmers were able to buy their 640 acre blocks. I’Anson continued as manager for Elizabeth Greene until her death in 1927. He was then able to buy 2,500 acres and the castle. Later Iandra castle was used as the Methodist Boys Home from 1954 to 1974. The Methodist Boys Farm School was for 15 to 18 year old first time offenders. They were taught farming skills. The Methodist Church sold the centre in 1974.
