Taken on the evening of November 21, 2014, these images (taken with a remote camera) show that P-22 appears to have recovered from mange. He has been living in Griffith Park since at least February 2012. Credit: National Park Service
Antarctica: as remote as it gets on Earth. Concordia research station is a collaboration between the French Polar Institute and the Italian Antarctic programme. It is one of only three bases that is inhabited all year long, and is located at the mountain plateau called Dome C. Pictured in this image is the astronomical observatory near the base.
As well as offering around nine months of complete isolation, Concordia’s location at 3233 m altitude means the crew experience chronic hypobaric hypoxia – lack of oxygen in the brain. During the Antarctic winter, the crew of up to 15 people also endure four months of complete darkness: the sun disappears from May and is not seen again until late August. Temperatures can drop to –80°C in the winter, with a yearly average of –50°C.
As a station set in Earth’s harshest space, Concordia is an ideal stand-in for studying the human psychological and physiological effects of extreme cold, isolation and darkness.

A remote control makes it much easier to shoot self-portraits. The infrared remote did not turn out that well, because it was impossible to focus automatically (okay, a thing, which happens with some other lenses, I have, too). Not to mention, that I cannot find this damned little infrared remote control anymore.
They say no man is an island – but you can be the exception to the rule if you land Bird Watch Ireland’s new job. There are two jobs up for grabs on Rockabill island, which is 7km off the north Dublin coast. The summer jobs will see two wardens placed on the island, of which they will be the only inhabitants.The wardens, who don't need to be enthusiastic birdwatchers, will be perched for three months on top of the rocky outcrop of two tiny islands that are home to a working lighthouse, accommodation and "just enough room to stretch the legs".
Applicants can forget home comforts, the shops and the pub, and must be prepared for the company of thousands of seabirds.
The work entails the monitoring and protection of the migrant Roseate, as well as Common and Arctic Terns, during the May to August breeding season.
Birdwatch Ireland development officer Niall Hatch admits the work isn't for everyone but says it's a "feather in the cap" for anyone wishing to advance their careers in environmental or similar sciences.
"It's a job for somebody who comes from a biology or environmental science background or somebody who has a lot of experience in that field," Mr Hatch told the Herald.
Mr Hatch said Rockabill is "a magical place". "When the sun is shining there and the weather is nice, it's gorgeous out there. When the weather is bad, it's pretty exposed," he added.
The job runs from May to August, during which time the wardens will only be given two weekends off the island – weather permitting. The Roseate Tern is the most endangered bird in Ireland.
When the successful applicants are left on the island they will be given provisions for their stay, and be dropped off by chartered boat.
The Remote Operating Centre, designed to redefine the way in which vessels are controlled. Instead of copying existing wheelhouse design the ROC used input from experienced captains to place the different system components in the optimum place to give the master confidence and control. The aim is to create a future proof standard for the control of vessels remotely.
most of them are replaced by the huge Sony AV-RM2000 in the middle. The silver 90-degree-thingy is the remote for a commercial Linux PVR computer.

Linking Fischertechnic and Lego.
With FT I use the TXT controller, with Lego I use the Maindstorms inventor hub and the Techinc hub. To make them work together I use 2 Lego remote controllers. On each remote control there are 4 servos. This controls 4 buttons, the 3 remaining buttons can be operated manually. The servos are controlled by the TXT controller. The RoboPro program on the PC is used for this purpose. The servos themselves are controlled by my DE0 module but this can also be done with an I2C module on the TXT. All hubs use the Pybricks Python software: v3.2.0b4 Pybricks Beta v2.0.0-beta.9
There are 2 Pybricks programs running simultaneously, each controlling a different type of hub.
It is now easy to send commands from the TXT to both hubs. This can be done simultaneously or separately. The big problem with Lego hubs is that they have almost no inputs. Thus, we lack the nice 8 channel digital inputs that are present with the TXT. Through my DEO module, I even have 120 digital inputs. Via the servo controlled remote I can now at least send multiple commands to the Lego modules. The large PC screen where the program can be displayed is also indispensable.
Now to send commands from the Lego hubs to the TXT are a number of possibilities. I use a lot of hall sensors. Small magnets connected to Lego parts can send commands this way quickly and easily. I can also listen in on multiple serial lines from the hubs. That data can be used by the TXT. Thus, positions of the motors can be displayed, as well as other data from the hub. The TXT can display this data on the PC screen.
Pybricks does not have a hub to hub at this time. Now, however, commands can be sent from one hub to the TXT which then forwards them to the 2nd hub.

For 366 and FGR - Show Some Remote Control.
This is the best you're getting out of me today, *again* I'm coming down with a cold. My work day today felt like about 17 years. Bleurgh. Time to lie down with a hot Ribena.
This is the gift I've been dreaming about — a giant universal remote control!
It's made for elderly folks with vision issues, but I just love how bizarrely huge the thing is. Buttons as big as my thumb: UI heaven! :-)
Our antipiracy guru Ibrahim RodrÃguez sent in a package of awesome Venezuelan gifts and ornaments to the Envato office today, so we took a quick snap showing them off! Thanks Ibrahim!!!

This interesting picture, courtesy of the US Navy, I have posted with a fairly high pixel level so it can be seen very clearly.
The Remote Minehunting System (RMS) and an AN/AQS-20 are brought onboard USS Independence (LCS 2) from the Gulf of Mexico waters on Jan. 7, 2012 during mine countermeasure mission module developmental testing. The two organic mine warfare capabilities were captured by a Twin Boom Extensible Crane (TBEC) onboard the littoral combat ship.
Saab's Remote Tower concept could be exactly what small and medium-sized airports need in order to be competitive. The concept aims at remotely controlling several airports from a single Remote Tower Centre.
The technical solution enables an airport tower to be remotely operated via the digital network. Compressed data from cameras at the airport provides a 360-degree real-time view of the airport at the Remote Tower Centre. The controller working position is equipped with the same controls as in a normal tower.
REPLACED: Some quality improvements necessary for larger printing, and a less panoramic crop.
I got up early today (Wednesday 9/26) and went out on the beach at the north end of Pea Island just below the bridge. If you walk out a ways there is a jetty with a remote automated weather station on it.
I got these out there just before the sun came up.
Another one that looks like HDR, but the light was just right to capture it as a single image.

Please visit the Entropic Remnants website or my Entropic Remnants blog -- THANKS!
UPDATE: I've printed this at 36x24 inches on metallic paper and it's hanging in my living room and it's lovely as a large print. One of my favorite landscapes I've taken with the OM-D E-M5.
Have to protect the remote sometimes from the dogs tails...
