Sampling boat at location close to Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
IAEA experts visited Japan from 8 to 14 September 2014 and -- together with staff from NRA and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs -- collected water samples from the sea at five locations near TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station,
The water samples were shared both between the IAEA Environmental Laboratories and the Japanese Laboratories to e=be analyzed independently.

In 2015 FWC researchers started surveying for saltmarsh topminnows throughout the Perdido, Escambia, Blackwater, and Choctawhatchee Bays. Sampling for rare species, such as saltmarsh topminnows, is challenging because they are not always detected at a site even when present. To account for this, FWC researchers conduct multiple surveys at each site, allowing them better to determine the true distribution of the species.

Indigo dyed cotton, folded and stitched. I don't like the fold line along the middle. Just a sample though. Might look better vertically.
When school is out, there are also summer fish jobs on the Buskin River! These two high school students are interns for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and are sampling salmon at the Buskin River weir.

Fake food samples appear prevalently in the windows and display cases of food-serving establishments throughout Japan. Once made from wax, today they are usually made out of plastic. The plastic models are mostly handmade from vinyl chloride and carefully sculpted to look like the actual dishes. The models are custom-tailored to restaurants and even common items such as ramen will be modified to match each establishment's food. During the molding process, the fake ingredients are often chopped up and combined in a manner similar to actual cooking.
The craftsmanship has been raised to an art form and plastic food has been exhibited at places such as the Victoria and Albert Museum. Regular competitions are held in making fake food dishes out of plastic and other materials. The food displays are usually called sampuru, derived from the English word sample.
The plastic food manufacturers fiercely guard their trade secrets as business is lucrative; the plastic food industry in Japan, by conservative estimates, has revenues of billions of yen per year. A single restaurant may order a complete menu of plastic items costing over a million yen.
In recent years, Japanese plastic food manufacturers have been targeting markets overseas, such as China.
Plastic food manufacturers
While some large companies exist, others are small shops with a single proprietor. They can be found in Kappabashi-dori, the food supply street in Tokyo. Factories can be found in Gujō, Gifu.
Iwasaki Be-I, the biggest plastic food manufacturer in Japan, founded by Takizo Iwasaki in 1932
Maiduru (Maizuru), another old and large manufacturer

A bakery employee offers samples of specialty cheeses to customers shopping in the NSA Annapolis Commissary on opening day. Food samples were plentiful in all departments of the store all day.
The first sample had to include fabric manipulation and hand embroidery stitches to create texture. I space dyed the background cotton then did cutwork circles before pleating and smocking it. I used tied threads to smock the fabric and did buttonhole lace on some of the fabric folds

Was asked if I could recreate a drive yoke for this antique.
I would like to do some more with the air flow though. This is to be bronze. I've seen this part in cast iron as well, but having a shaft run through with no bearing is just weird, so bronze will be it's own bearing

On July 25, 2011, the final water samples of the ICESCAPE mission awaited analysis in the lab on board the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy.
The ICESCAPE mission, or "Impacts of Climate on Ecosystems and Chemistry of the Arctic Pacific Environment," is NASA's two-year shipborne investigation to study how changing conditions in the Arctic affect the ocean's chemistry and ecosystems. The bulk of the research takes place in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas in summer 2010 and 2011.
