Hertshooi
Hypericum (hertshooi) adrosaemum is een halfheester.
De bloemen hebben opvallende bundels meeldraden. In de herfst kleuren de bessen van rood naar zwart.
De bladeren van deze soort staan kruisgewijs tegenover elkaar. Het geeft het sierlijke effect aan de stengels. De bloemen staan op de toppen van de stengels. Ze zijn maar drie à vier cm groot, maar de lange meeldraden stelen de show; het zijn net verstijfde wimpers.
Part of my PhD photo project; capturing moments that portray the daily rituals of completing a PhD. For instance, I wanted to capture with this series the fact that I always have a cup of coffee when I'm working.

The fascinating Stratosphere Chamber exhibit at Brooklands Museum.
In the late 1940's, the eminent engineer Barnes Wallis was engaged in high altitude research for Vickers at Brooklands, and he designed a huge chamber to test the effects of high altitude and low temperature on aircraft structures. The installation could create an environment which was equivalent to a height of 70,000 feet, and was used from 1951 until the early 1980s. Here a Vickers Vanguard nose section is seen inside, but the chamber could be used for whole aircraft, for example the Supermarine Scimitar and the de Havilland Sea Vixen were tested here.
When in use, a massive door was moved across on rails from the lefthand side to seal the chamber. Vacuum pumps sucked the air out to replicate the low pressure at high altitude, and a refrigeration plant of pumps, evaporators and condensers cooled the chamber down.
Swedish icebreaker/research vessel Oden in Öresund this morning.
"Oden is a large Swedish icebreaker, built in 1988 for the Swedish Maritime Administration. It is named after the Norse god Odin. First built to clear a passage through the ice of the Gulf of Bothnia for cargo ships, it was later modified to serve as a research vessel. Equipped with its own helicopter and manned by 15 crew members it has ample capacity to carry laboratory equipment and 80 passengers, functioning independently in harsh Polar ice packs of the Arctic and Antarctic seas. It was the first non-nuclear surface vessel to reach the North Pole (in 1991), together with the German research icebreaker Polarstern. It has participated in several scientific expeditions in Arctic and Antarctica." (Wikipedia)
Arnold Research Organization (ARO) designed and operated Arnold Center until 1980. My dad began working there in 1953 until he retired in early 90s. He is 98 1/2 and as sharp as ever. Here's a bit of history on AEDC / ARO:
Arnold AFB (Air Force Base) began as Camp Forrest, an Army training camp during WWII. Camp Forrest's training facilities included William Northern Field, used for training Army Air Force pilots. Camp Forrest was secured after the war by the new Air Force as the site for the Air Engineering Development Center in 1949, and named the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) in honor of General Henry "Hap" Arnold, one of the founding fathers of the US Air Force and a five-star general.
AEDC was created to be the primary jet and rocket development for the Air Force, and developed the premier flight, jet, rocket, and simulation testing in the world. The Jet Age of the 1950s and 1960s, and Space Race kept pushing the AEDC to expand their capabilities. [In the early 50s, my mom, dad, and father-in-law began working at the Center - the dads were engineers and my mom was a secretary for the Air Force Generals.] The AEDC was instrumental to the development of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo space programs, including testing space capsules, the Saturn V rocket upper stage engines. The main function of the AEDC was to test military aircraft and missiles. In the 1970s, systems for the Space Shuttle, F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, A-10 Thunderbolt, MX missile, Air-Launched Cruise Missile, and Global Positioning Satellite system were tested by the AEDC. Arnold's testing in more recent years has included systems of the Patriot Air Defense Missile, F-117A Nighthawk, and other vital defense systems. Source: www.arnoldafbhousing.com/history

Slimbridge in Gloucestershire has themed areas representing different wetlands throughout the world and there habitats with associated birds. Over the last few years they have done a lot of work here to improve the visitor experience. In the summer months you can walk down to the River Severn estuary through the massive feed beds. We had a very interesting day out here yesterday, very enjoyable!
Trying my own version of the set, adding a few more features but still keeping the chibi style. Because SCIENCE!
NS 92G runs through the siding at Robertson all the way to Ferguson at restricted speed while doing that “The Brick” will scan the track and send data to NS 36 “Research” aka the passenger car behind the brick where they’ll analyze the data (probably not right away) and see what might need to be fixed or changed with the tracks, grades, switches, etc. After 92G makes their run through the siding they will then back up to Robertson on the main at restricted speed going backwards also doing the same thing they just had done to the siding, before they reached Berkeley they were doing this to every siding on the line before which helped it make better time lighting wise into St. Louis. After it does it’s run through the main it’ll then head East to Luther where it’ll scan the inbound and outbound tracks
Working on Auxin Transport, a JAXA experiment, for benefit of plant cultivation on Earth as well as in space
This week I’ll be working quite a bit on JAXA’s Auxin Transport plant growth experiment. Here I'm watering some pea and maize (corn) seedlings, and I'll be cultivating later in the week. The plant hormone auxin was discovered through the study of how plants respond to light, as described by Charles Darwin in 1880. This experiment studies the role of auxins in seedlings grown in microgravity, leading to new insight into how gravity, or the lack of gravity, affects early plant development. It's hoped this will contribute to increasing the efficiency of plant cultivation on Earth, as well as in a space environment.

Some new additions to the living room today! John Meyer, the big guy from Newform Research dropped off (and set in place) my new speakers today.I had a vision of what I wanted and John brought it to life even better than I had hoped. Many thanks John, it is a pleasure to deal with you. Now to keep working on the home theatre, also with John's speakers in the mix!

These monkeys like astronomy and outer space. They are visiting the Astronomer to learn about space and exteraterestrials.
Build for my article on New Elementary all about the latest wave of parts added to Pick a Brick this month.
I only had one of each seed part to play with so I went for an asymmetric vehicle using the transparent curved corner panel (5925). It turned out to be a bit of a slog to complete but I got there in the end - thanks to some Lime green frying pans of all things.
The card catalog in the Miller Library at Hopkins Marine Station is no longer used, but still sits in a position of prominence, probably because it is such a beautiful design, and also for nostalgic reasons. The "art" of researching using the card catalog is now a thing of the past.
It was really dark in the library; fortunately this camera can "see in the dark" - ISO 12800 !
Mark’s pipetting skills are through the roof! Well not literally. It’s crazy how being an astronaut makes you learn and do so many different things. Mark was working on NASA's Celestial immunity experiment, that requires astronauts to be adept at the laboratory skills... in microgravity! The experiment designers do everything they can to make it as easy as possible as we are not experienced lab workers, but we do what is required, and this is why we spend so much time training for our flights.
Les compétences de Mark avec une pipette sont impressionnantes. Je suis toujours étonné de voir la quantité de choses qu'on apprend à faire quand on devient astronaute : de nouvelles langues, de la mécanique, des techniques de laboratoire, comment utiliser un appareil photo, à piloter des vaisseaux spatiaux, à lancer des nanosatellites... mais ça explique pourquoi notre formation est si longue !

Ah, more petit four lime green arthropods from the National honey bee research station that the MAGLEV will destroy if it goes through. This one is the Northern Crab Spider (Mecaphesa asperata) the first record for Prince George's County, This crab spider provides a little floral surprise. It tucks into flowers and when visitors come to the nectar bar for a quick drink, nabs them and juices them up with venom, often taking down insects quite a bit larger than they are. Imagine if something like that lurked around your neighborhood bar! Photo by Adam Grima. ~~~~~~~~~~{{{{{{0}}}}}}~~~~~~~~~~

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.

Still can't beat a good book (The Archaeology of New York State) but couple it with the tablet and technology, and the possibilities are endless!
It's just a bit of a side hobby of mine to better understand the ancient settlement and history of this area. As it stands, the last book written about it was finished in the early 60's. Time for an update!
Cedar Waxwings are not uncommon at all, but this was the first one I'd seen this year. I saw three of these at the Patuxent Research Refuge, Laurel, Maryland.
(This is what happens to me when I spend a week researching the Prohibition and the growth in Organized Crime around it.)
Chief Anderson stood in front of my desk, glaring across the piles of papers, photos, and evidence boxes that supposedly sat upon my desk, buried somewhere beneath. I last saw it early January. It was now mid September. I pondered when if there really had ever been a desk there, and not just a mountain. More specifically, I pondered this to avoid acknowledging that Chief Anderson's glare was fixed on me specifically. He cough, clearing his throat. I shifted uncomfortably in my rickety office chair.
"You do this, Frank, and it'll be your badge."
"Yeah, Anders, I know."
Like it mattered. I was slowly growing the suspicion that the badge was growing useless except as something to hold me back. Perhaps I ought to go vigilante, get more work done that way...
"No, you don't. Look, you're a good officer, but you just can't keep playing solo here. I warned you, disobey orders again and you are out."
"Yeah, I know."
It was a favorite threat of his, and I know I deserved it, sure.
"And that was three of your... stunts ago. Three!"
"Yeah."
Two, actually.
"Look, even if you are right, you know I can't authorize this. Sure, the system above is corrupt, and I've tried my best play straight, but this is risky. If I don't put my foot down, there are way too many political connections at stake. It'll be my neck, Frank, and yours too."
"Yeah, probably."
An idea was starting to form in the back of my head just then. Yes, I think I knew how this'd work out.
"Dammit, Frank, don't be like that. Look, I know you've got your man, but you and I both know that it isn't that easy. He is an untouchable, Frank, I'm sorry but it is true."
"What if I go against orders?"
He didn't like this, and he instantly saw where I was going.
"No, Frank, just no. Don't start thinking like that. That is foolish, dangerous."
"I'm serious, Anders."
"Yeah, I know, Frank, I know. That was what I was afraid of."
"So then, I'll be going."
He sighed, pounded his fist on my desk, or for that matter the pile of papers that had overgrown my desk, with frustration.
"Yeah. I'll call Officer Lewis into my office. He'll forget to lock the armory."
"Thanks Anders."
"Just don't get shot up, Frank."
I nodded, sitting up and reaching for my coat.
"Yes, Anders."
"And don't take anyone else with you, I don't want you getting any of the younger officers caught up in your schemes."
I paused. Bob Schilling had worked with me on several parts of this case. The kid was persistent, he'd follow even if I didn't ask.
"Even Bob?"
"Especially Bob."
"He'll follow me anyways."
Anders sighed. "Yes, yes he will. I just want to know I tried, in case something happens to him."
"You're a good man, Anders."
"Thanks Frank."
I fished around my desk, finding my hat in an emptied evidence box.
"And Frank."
"Yeah?"
"If you don't come back with your man..."
"I know, I know... I'm gone."
"Yes."
