The Cygnus cargo ship with 7,500 pounds of supplies arrived and was installed on the ISS on 26 March 2016.
There will be two more missions to the ISS in the next couple of weeks:
31 March 2016 – Russian Progress cargo ship scheduled to launch
08 April 2016 – SpaceX resupply launches
Tim Peake explains gyroscopes in space and why they are important
Welcome home to Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko from 340 days on the International Space Station. What a feeling it must be to know gravity again.
Can you imagine a year in space? In March 2015, 2 space explorers, NASA's Mark Kelly and Russia's Mikhail Kornienko started a year-long mission aboard the International Space Station.
The physiological changes will give us some idea what will happen on a longer duration mission such as a trip to Mars.
As the International Space Station falls around the Earth, every now and then its orbit needs to be raised. A reboost was done very recently and ESA's Tim Peake shows us how it was accomplished.
Pre-reboost: 398.2 x 407.4 km – inclination 51.64° – Period: 92.62min (247.4 x 253.1 miles)
Post-reboost: 402.1 x 406.9 km – inclination 51.64° – Period: 92.66min (249.9 x 252.8 miles)
Orbital's Cygnus cargo ship will be leaving the International Space Station today. The cargo ship is scheduled to be released from Canadarm 2 at 12:35 UTC.
After it is released there will be two thruster burns on the cargo ship to push it into the atmosphere where it will burn up over the Pacific Ocean.
Coverage starts at 12:00 UTC. The deorbit burns and re-entry will not be shown on the video.
Hopefully the space suit problems that have been cropping up will come to an end. I would imagine it would be pretty stressful working in suits you may not have complete faith in.

Unhinged Perriello/Obama supporter rips up GOP signs, screams "You f**king House nigger white-black bitch!"
Via J.P. Freire at the Examiner, a supporter of Democrat congressional candidate Tom Perriello and Barack Obama demonstrates a little, ahem, "insane rage" that won't be spotlighted on the nightly news or decried on the NYTimes op-ed page.
Maybe he'll get a guest hosting spot on The View or an honorary membership to the New Black Panther Party…
Especially love how he screams "You f**king House nigger white-black bitch!" at a black GOP woman and then turns around and screams "RAAAAACIST!" at her and the rest of the peaceful conservative activists peacefully sitting together in their yard.

it's the 4th I stay there and it's quite good hotel.
Hotel and Rooms are "just enough" for people in a business trip without any expectations about luxury. It's simple but effective. Using public transportation, the hotel was 10 min walk from Porte d'Arras Metro station. Good point is that breakfast is included and price is average cheap.
My wife hated the place and refused to go out. She excoriated me for choosing it. Gentleman at front desk was very helpful and spoke beautiful English. Since i speak some French & Arabic I went out and bought some food and enjoyed meeting some of the locals. Floor carpets were ancient & dirty. Breakfast was surprisingly good.
Met our needs. Neighborhood was a little flat - not a lot around but we went tothe center and day tripped to Brugges and Flanders.

Diary of Royal Worcester porcelain maker details how he STOLE trade secrets from French potters after Revolution
- Diary busts two-century-old secret of how Royal Worcester made its wares
- Boss John Flight kept ledger for six years until his death at age 25 in 1791
- Stolen French technique potters helped firm revolutionise British industry
A 223-year-old diary of one of the founders of Royal Worcester porcelain reveals how he stole the secrets for the world famous brand - by spying on French potters.
The remarkable log was kept by John Flight, who ran the factory with his brother Joseph during the late 18th Century.
He kept the journals, handwritten in a tiny, elaborate script, from at least 1785 until his untimely death aged just 25 in 1791.
Revelation: The diary written by John Flight, who ran Royal Worcester, details when he went to France during the French revolution and stole the blueprints for manufacturing porcelain
During that time, the factory was beset by a number of technical issues as it tried to keep up with competition from the Far East and Europe.
But its fortunes changed after Flight travelled to Europe to learn the secrets of his company's competitors.
The extracts were written in 1789 when he snuck into France to spy on the porcelain makers at the start of the French Revolution a year after the company was granted a Royal warrant.
In the passages, young John Flight writes of his apprehension about travelling abroad to learn more about porcelain manufacture, but he also records much of the goings-on in the Worcester-based factory.
In one passage, dated October 1789, he wrote of his research on the continent.
He wrote: 'I go on buying bodys (sic) and glazes to get a tollerable (sic) insight into the manufactory but I much want to do more in this myself.
'I must continue by some method to do it.'
In another, he agonises over an impending trip to France.
Artefact: Jessica Devereux, of Royal Worcester Porcelain, holds the diary revealing what was a trade secret
He wrote: 'I am fearfull (sic) of leaving the family, that makes me not know what is best about going to France.
'I have hinted to my brother for him to go but hardly think that would do.'
The diary was recently retrieved from the archives at Worcester Porcelain Museum, where it had previously been seen only by curators and scholars.
It was purchased and restored by the museum with the aid of an Art Fund grant before being put on public display for the first time.
Amanda Savidge (corr), director of the museum, said that the diary was a significant item in the brand's history.
She said: 'It's an absolutely fantastic handwritten diary dating from 1785 until 1791.
Morning glory: Part of Lord Nelson's colourful breakfast set made by Royal Worcester in 1804, a year before the naval hero's death at Trafalgar
'Most of what we know about the factory during that time has come from the diary.
'It was during the French Revolution so it would have been a very dangerous time to be travelling but because of that it's a fascinating document which you can use to piece together English and European history of the time.
'It gives a new insight behind the history involved with the name.
'It's just great to be showing these pages for the first time - we hope it will encourage people to take a real interest in the history of the brand.'
Royal Worcester was established in 1751 and was granted a Royal Warrant in 1789 by King George III.
The factory held a Royal Warrant for every subsequent year until it went into administration in 2008.
The book has gone display to the public for the first time at the Antiques for Everyone Fair at the NEC in Birmingham.

Good 3.9 /5 from 23 reviews
This was my second time staying at this hotel. I love it. Excellent location right near restaurants and the center of town. The staff was very friendly. The room was clean. If you're expecting large hotel rooms, well, this is Europe. There aren't any. Interestingly, you don't get a key of any kind. When you make your reservation, they send you a code that gets you in the front door and your room. I'd never had a hotel like that before, and i think it's a great idea. I can't wait to say at here again.
What was supposed to be two nights I extended to four. Loved it here. I didn't want to leave. The cozy room was quiet, comfortable, and had a view (down a narrow street) of a little sliver of the harbor. The location is excellent, right around the corner from dozens of restaurants and cafes. The staff was very friendly. I'll definitely stay here again.
Great !,!!!

This was a simple easy recipe to follow fairly healthy snack. I substituted butter for cold pressed coconut oil for added flavor but overall was simple and easy to follow. Taste great and had the right crunch for cookies as well.
This was great! I followed very closely... but didn't use quite as much granola as it called for and no chocolate chips (just b/c I didn't have any). I will definitely make again - a nice little twist on regular oatmeal cookies.
Well, my grandma never made granola cookies, but if she'd have I'm sure they would have tasted something very close to that. Not too sweet, almost healthy, very filling. Very good to bring on a hike in place of commercial granola bars.
These are so good! My grandma used to make granola cookies for me when I was a little girl and these are a perfect match. I left the chocolate chips out because Gram never put them in hers, but I bet they'd be good that way too. Thanks for the recipe!

Diet alone helps lower bad cholesterol
New York: A diet based around plants, nuts and high-fiber grains lowered "bad" cholesterol more than a low-saturated-fat diet that was also vegetarian, researchers reported.
And the drop in low-density lipoprotein, or LDL cholesterol, was big enough that dietary changes could be an alternative to statin medications for many people, they said.
"There`s no question that statins have made a major difference in terms of cardiovascular disease control," said study author Dr. David Jenkins, from the University of Toronto. But at least for now, he added, "we can only get so far with statins."
One in four adults age 45 and older in the US takes the cholesterol-lowering drugs.
Jenkins and his colleagues wanted to see how big an effect a diet based on the pillars of lower cholesterol could have on LDL numbers without statins.
They randomly split 351 Canadians with high cholesterol into three groups. One group got nutrition counseling promoting a low-saturated-fat diet for six months.
In the other two groups, dietitians helped participants fit more cholesterol-lowering foods, including soy milk, tofu, nuts, oats, peas and beans, into a healthy diet -- meeting with some of them twice during the study, and with others seven times. All the diets were vegetarian.
After six months, people on the low-saturated-fat diet saw a drop in LDL cholesterol of 8 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), on average, according to findings in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
That compared to 24 mg/dL and 26 mg/dL decreases in participants on the cholesterol-lowering diets. (The average starting LDL was about 170 mg/dL. A number 160 mg/dL and above is considered high.)
That drop is "really a lot," said Dr. Yunsheng Ma, a nutrition and heart disease researcher from the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, who was not involved in the new study.
Volunteers in the cholesterol-lowering group were encouraged to consume about a gram of plant sterols in an enriched margarine per 1,000 calories of food they ate, as well as about 10 grams of fiber in the form of oats, barley and psyllium, 22.5 grams of soy protein and 22.5 grams of nuts, per 1,000 calories.
"A lot of people rely on the medication, but diet is really powerful actually," he told Reuters Health. "People ignore that. They think if they`re on statins, they can do anything they want, they can eat the high-fat foods because the statins are going to take care of that."
One in five of the participants dropped out before the full six months, and even those that didn`t had a hard time sticking closely to the diet plans -- but many still saw cholesterol benefits.
The researchers had everyone in the study who was taking statins go off the medication for the diet intervention. Jenkins said the question of how diet and statins could lower LDL in tandem is for future research.
But for those who like the idea of changing their diet instead of going on medications, this is a reasonable option, he said. Others who aren`t interested in adjusting their eating habits might be better suited to sticking with statins, Jenkins added.
"If you want to sit on the couch with the six pack and the wings and watch other people exercise and you`re quite determined not to do anything other than that, then we`ve got a medication for you," he said.
For other people, genetics or very high cholesterol may mean that diet isn`t enough to get LDL down to a healthy level without statins, said Dr. Joan Sabate, head of nutrition at Loma Linda University in California.
Jenkins said that doctors should encourage their patients with high cholesterol to try diet changes, if they`re interested. A couple of visits to a nutritionist might be enough for motivated patients to make the switch to a plant-based, higher-fiber diet, he added.
"The diet only is enough for the majority of the people that have a not-so-good lifestyle," Sabate, who was not involved in the new research, told Reuters Health. "By changing the diet and their lifestyle they can establish good control of their cholesterol."

These regressive social institutions must not call the shots in modern India.
For the first 10 days after she was savagely assaulted and raped by eight men, 16-year-old Reshma [name changed] shuttered up her heart and mind, hoping silence would kill her memories of the violence, wrenching physical pain and the waves of shame, anger and fear.
Everyone knows Reshma now and is using her case their own particular way. Dalit groups have camped outside her home, using her case to illustrate caste iniquity and violence in Haryana. Leaders of the 'powerful'
Khap panchayats
recently have used the case to call for rolling back progressive reforms that made it illegal for women to be married before the age of 18.
Her voice, though, still unheard – and of dozens of other women, Dalit and upper caste, young and old, fair and dark, who have been victims of sexual assault by men across the country.
Reacting to the shocking idea proposed by the
Khap panchayats,
the age old upholders of caste norms who have always been in the news for all the wrong reasons, this is what they [who claim to be supposedly working towards the development of society] could come up with! This idea is ridiculous, uninformed and step backwards. When the system needs more support for assaulted women, higher penalties for those who commit such crimes, and more people in power who understand how hard it is for women to report about the same, these so called leaders came up with such ideas. In my opinion, this is a specious argument that is not likely to stand any test of reason.
Any contemporary evaluation of these
has to take into account their interventions on socio-cultural issues in modern times, as also the fact that we are now living not in feudal times but in the period of democratic polity.
This is a clear story of two mindsets divided against each other in the backdrop of a society struggling to emerge from its earlier
The new wave of young blood, gradually becoming aware of its individual space, influenced as it is by the winds of change brought about by the democratic ethos and liberalisation, is learning to take its own decisions. When they have the right to vote at 18 – why not the right to choose their own partner at the same legally prescribed age?
This assertion of a legal right has been taken to mean that the youth today has gone out of bounds that it is unbridled in its choices and acts. When the occasion arises, however, they do act with responsibility and dignity. For instance, with the advent of the age of liberalisation in the early 1990s, doubts were sometimes expressed as to how patriotic the youth of today is. Kargil, however, proved beyond doubt that the outer trappings of the individualistic liberal ethos have not had any negative effect on our youth in this regard.
In a similar vein, by and large, the youth of the Jat heartland, the area in which issues revolving round
marriages have been recurring over the last few years, are cognisant that the custom of marriage within the gotra does not enjoy socio-cultural acceptance, and I am pretty sure that they would not like to cross into forbidden territory.
For a society to move ahead, a certain degree of elasticity is required on matters that do call for reasonable mutual adjustment in tune with the times.
Given this fact, the demand for a change in the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 on this basis gives a strong impression that these forces are arrogating to themselves the power to decide for all.
More importantly, the saddest part of the story is that the political class of Haryana, seems to be more concerned about its vote-banks rather than the larger social good. Instead of taking a leading role in countering the forces that are taking a stand, detrimental to the interests of an egalitarian and progressive society, the political actors seem to be playing second fiddle to them. One can only hope in these circumstances that a balanced view will be taken, the saner view will prevail, and conclusions reached on the basis of a reasoned judgement of issues.
To conclude on a note of caution in the larger socio-political context, one, there are much larger social issues crying for our attention, on which the
Khap panchayats
can play a positive role – and on which, till now, they have maintained a resounding silence. Domestic violence against women, the scourge of female foeticide, dowry-deaths, the menace of drinking and drug-addiction, the crisis in agriculture – these, and many more, are issues with which we need to grapple on an urgent basis, for they strike at the very roots of a harmonious society. These
however, seem to have turned a blind eye to them. Is it that they find it more convenient to overlook such issues because the perpetrators of these social crimes are an inseparable part of these
One needs to ponder over this.

Will resume agitation from Haridwar: Ramdev
Haridwar (Uttarakhand): Clad in his trademark saffron robes, yoga guru Baba Ramdev, who was forcibly evicted from the site of his agitation and was whisked away from Delhi, Sunday asserted he will restart his stir against black money from this Hindu holy town, after an attempt to return to the national capital was stopped by the police of neighbouring Uttar Pradesh.
"I will start the movement again from Hardwar. It will spread to the nook and corner of the country," Ramdev said at a press conference at his ashram here - his third in the day.
Ramdev, along with thousands of supporters, protesting against black money at Delhi`s Ramlila Grounds, were forcibly removed by police in the early hours of Sunday. He was taken in a special aircraft by the police to Dehradun and brought to his ashram here in the morning.
Later in the day, he tried to return to Delhi but was stopped by Uttar Pradesh Police at the border of the state`s Muzaffarnagar district and turned back to Haridwar.
Asked whether he considered the Uttar Pradesh government action hostile, Ramdev denied this and said that state Chief Minister Mayawati had condemned the police action against him and supporters.
He claimed that he "retreated to avoid a law and order situation".
Ramdev also said some vested interests were spreading rumours about his sources of income. "I am ready to face any probe by any agency," he declared.
Asked about the criticism of his agitation by Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh, Ramdev said: "I will not respond to the words of a irresponsible person. I will not waste my time."
Ramdev had earlier said that the manner in which the police cracked down on his protest at Delhi`s Ramlila Ground was against all democratic norms.
"Had they requested us to cancel our fast as the permission to hold the fast in the ground was cancelled, we would have done that. But the way they manhandled me and the people is a stigma on Indian democracy," said Ramdev in his second interaction with the media during the day.
Rubbishing the police claims that Ramdev faced a life threat, he said: "This is a blatant lie that I was under any kind of threat."
Reaching his ashram here after being forcefully evicted from the Ramlila Ground in the post midnight police raid, a visibly shaken Ramdev accused the government of plotting against him and trying to get him killed.
"They wanted to kidnap me and kill me, or send me somewhere," the yoga guru said at his first press conference of the day, during which he wore a white robe.
He termed the police action inhuman and barbaric.
"Yesterday (Saturday) at the Ramlila Maidan, about 1 lakh people felt the force of the police. The scenario was hurtful and barbaric," he said.
"My fast has not ended," he said about the hunger strike against corruption which he had launched at the Ramlila Ground Saturday morning against black money stashed away in foreign tax havens and corruption.
Nursing a sore throat and at times teary-eyed, Ramdev said: "Despite my pleadings, police did not leave women and children but attacked them."
"No other nation would have shown this much of roughness against its citizens. Such situations were not witnessed even during the Emergency period (1975-77). One can compare it with the Jallianwala Bagh massacre," he said.
He also accused the government and Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal of cheating him.
"Government said that by the end of June 6, all our demands will be accepted and then you can end your fast and protest. We were forced to write this (letter) and were told it will be presented to the prime minister.
"Kapil Sibal is a liar and a cunning person, he cheated and mislead us," he said, adding that he was forced into signing the letter.
Sibal had made public a handwritten note in which Ramdev had agreed to end his stir in two days.
Ramdev also attacked Sonia Gandhi.
"I thought she is not born in this country but is the daughter-in-law of this country, But by ordering attack on one lakh people, she proved she does not love the people (of this country)," he said.

The Supervisory Council of the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies (RUSNANO) approved the project aimed at production of nano-heterostructure photoconverters with the efficiency reaching 37-45%. Solar modules and new generation power plants, equipped with Fresnel lenses and sun tracking system will also be produced under the auspices of the project. It will commercialize the outcomes of research conducted in the Ioffe Physical Technical Institute in the field of fundamental scientific and technical principles and technological basis for constructing the main blocks of concentrator solar photovoltaic plants.
The concentrator solar power plants will employ: 1) new generation of cascading solar cells, based on nanoheterostructures for photoelectric conversion of concentrated light; 2) Fresnel lenses, that provide 900-fold solar power concentration; 3) high-precision sun-tracking systems.
The proposed concentrator photovoltaic modules accurately focus the solar light falling on the 50x50 mm Fresnel lens surface to the highly efficient cascade solar cell with size of less than 4 square millimeters. This way solar modules do not overheat due to specially designed naturally cooling heat sinks.
Cascade solar cells used in tandem with the concentrators will be produced with a CVD (chemical vapor deposition) method modified for use with different semiconductor materials on germanium substrate.
"It should be noted that concentrator technologies are more efficient and provide the most cost effectiveness in the long term. Development of concentrator technologies is more preferable while in the situation of silicon shortage", says Sergey Polikarpov, RUSNANO managing director.
A full production cycle, which includes cultivation of nanoheterostructures, chip manufacture, modules assembly, sun-tracking systems production and solar photovoltaic plants assembly, will be created under the project. The total capacity of the new power plants is to be about 85 MW per year. It is expected that in 2015 the project company's revenue will exceed 130 million Euros. RUSNANO, Module Solar AG and "Solnechniy Potok" (Solar flux) company, established by the key developers of technology, are taking part in the project company chartered capital. RUSNANO will invest 1 290 mln rubles in cash and the other members of the project will also provide funds and intellectual property totaling 1290 mln rubles. In addition, the project is expected to raise 3150 mln rubles from investors. The total budget of the project is estimated as 5730 mln rubles.
