Observation of daily human activity and status is important from the viewpoints of maintaining health and preventive medical care. In this study, we describe a system for monitoring human activities and conditions that uses microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors. The system contains four MEMS sensors for environmental monitoring-3-axis acceleration, barometric pressure, temperature, and relative humidity -as well as the peripheral circuitry for each sensor. Measured human activity data are stored in a memory via an on-board microprocessor. We measured environmental data for a subject's daily life. To estimate the subject's activity and his condition from a huge volume of data, we applied a soft computing technique to machine learning for the automatic extraction of human-activity classification.
Measurement of cortical thickness using human brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can assist physicians in quantifying cerebral atrophy. Most of the conventional measurement methods assign the same class to all pixels with a similar MR signal independent of their locations, and are therefore unsuitable for MR images that have strong intensity nonuniformity (INU) artifact. We propose an automated method that locally segments the cerebral cortex using an adapted fuzzy spatial model representing the transit of MR signals from the cerebral cortex to the white matter. This method assigns fuzzy degrees belonging to brain tissues using the adaptive fuzzy spatial model for local intensity transition from the cerebral cortex to inside the cerebrum. We also introduce an evaluation method of cortex segmentation algorithms that consists of reproducibility, quantitative, and qualitative tests; we use this method to evaluate and discuss the proposed segmentation method in comparison with the conventional method.
In this paper, a scheme of recognizing hematopoietic tumor patients is presented, using self-organizing maps constructed by fast block-matching-based learning. This fast learning is referred to as T-BMSOM leaning. To classify the patients, screening data of examinees are presented to a constructed map. In T-BMSOM learning, a set of neurons arranged in square is regarded as a block, and one of the blocks is chosen as a winner per the presented data. It is assumed that members of a training data set to construct the map never change in static environments, whereas the data set is suddenly updated during learning in dynamic environments. While adopting the concept of blocks makes it possible to construct well-organized maps in dynamic environments, it lengthens the time for learning. To overcome this issue, T-BMSOM learning is based on a decision-tree-like winner search and a batch process. The screening data of an examinee frequently lacks several of the item values, and hence the data is presented to the map after averages of non-missing item values substitute for items with no values. The class of the data to be classified is basically judged by observing the label of a winner block. Simulation results establish that the proposed scheme achieves high accuracy of correctly recognizing the data of hematopoietic tumor patients, even if training the map is conducted in a dynamic environment.
Diagnostic imaging system is a necessity for brain diagnosis. Transcranial Ultrasonography can noninvasively image the intracranial blood flow and brain tissue in real time from only temple area of human head. However, the ultrasonic wave causes attenuation, decentration, and refraction in the skull, so the ultrasonography can not provide the transcranial brain surface image from arbitrary place. In this paper, we propose an imaging system of brain surface and skull from arbitrary places by considering the ultrasonic refraction of the skull. We do an experiment by using a cow scapula to imitate the skull bone and a biological phantom to imitate the cerebral sulcus. We first visualize the shape of scapula, and grasp the shape of scapula surface. We second remove the delay and the multi echoes of refracted wave. We third calculate the thickness of the scapula by using fuzzy inference. In the inference, we employ amplitude, correlation coefficient and the elapsed time. Finally, we calculate the refractive angle of ultrasonic wave and visualize the image referring to the refraction of ultrasonic wave. In the result of applying our method, we can estimate the thickness of scapula at all points, and successfully visualize the phantom surface image.

This customer has had two of our buildings installed their garden in Chinnor, Oxfordshire: a 1.8 x 2.4m Victoria Greenhouse and a 2.4 x 5.4m Superior Shed, and both are painted in our Valtti paint colour, in the colour Ash.
The greenhouse will become a temperature controlled area enabling the growth of produce throughout the year. The Superior Shed has a partition in the middle, creating both a storage area, and a workshop with a workbench inside.
Automatic opening vents and two slatted benches, creating a corner space in the greenhouse, offer practical design features that will help the customer to get the most out of their building. If you would like to see an example of our Greenhouse you can visit our Burford Show Centre, which is not far from where these buildings have been installed.
The storage area of the Superior Shed is 2.4 x 2.4m in size: it has double doors to gain entry, and no windows. The workshop is 2.4 x 3.0m in size with a single door and two opening, Georgian windows, as well as a workbench fitted underneath the windows on the inside.
Cedar shingle tiles have been used on the roof of the Superior Shed for a rustic, country look, and other features the customer chose include an electrical pack with a heater, a heavy duty floor throughout, and a security pack. The security pack consists of a seven lever lock and heavy duty sliding bolts for the doors, as well as security screws for the door hinges (the customer didn’t want the stainless steel window bars).
Both of these buildings suit the customer’s garden very well, with both of them providing solutions to the customer’s needs.
If you like the idea of having matching timber buildings in your garden, whether they be Greenhouses or Garden Sheds, please call us on 01760 444229 or Contact Us and we will be able to help you go through your building requirements.

Despite the fact that plastic cabinet doors usually are not as permanent as natural stones like marble and granite, this particular content is really still extremely popular. Many advanced house owners nowadays choose granite countertops along with several other materials that are fancy. However, does this happen? To answer this specific question, let’s view some of the particular qualities of the material.
Some times people store the toothbrushes in medicine cabinet. This really is why you should guard it from bacteria and germs. You can put it in a mug before store it in the cupboard or place the spoon helmed to protect against any germ interfere with this brush. Medical kit needs to be provided within the cabinet. This really is the reason folks call it medicine cabinet. The very first support kit consists of essential medicine for urgent substance like chalk additives, wipes, plasters, cream or acrylic to combat with bite and also a lot much more. It’s always helpful to provide plastic cabinet doors.
plastic cabinet doors can function as dual function. The very first purpose is to store and keep the medicine and the second is really for assessing up on your face at the mirror. You organize it rather well before things create the storage disorganized and messy. There are numerous matters which you ought to consider in coordinating the medication inside the cabinet drug cupboard.

Rebecca Alexander chooses to see each day as a gift. Having experienced both vision and hearing loss, Rebecca is a dedicated advocate, bringing encouragement and determination to the vision- and hearing-impaired communities.
Rebecca was clinically diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) at age 12. To her and her family’s frustration, research and information about the condition was limited throughout her teenage years. “I used to hide or lie about my progressing vision and hearing loss,” Rebecca said of her days as a student. While attending the University of Michigan, she began to experience problems with hearing that prompted her to schedule an appointment with her health care professional. It was then that Rebecca’s initial RP diagnosis was clarified. Her vision and hearing loss were more specifically symptoms of Usher syndrome, a rare genetic condition that encompasses RP.
Even though Rebecca’s clinical diagnosis explained her symptoms, new questions arose. Rebecca recalls that the new diagnosis confused her health care team too: “They told me that I had Usher syndrome, but that they’d never seen it as it presented itself in me. They couldn’t tell me what type it was.” Rebecca’s family pursued genetic testing, and their blood work proved to be the missing link that identified a new form of Usher syndrome — type III. Genetic testing led to the discovery of Usher syndrome type III, offering clarity and information for Rebecca and others who cope with the confusion and uncertainty of misdiagnosis associated with these symptoms.
Usher syndrome is the leading genetic cause of combined deafness and blindness and more than 400,000 people are living with it worldwide, but only a fraction of this population has had their specific mutation or type identified. Having genetic testing done does not mean that a person has to take any further actions, but it gives individuals the option should they want to.
“When we found out that my gene mutation had been discovered, my mom and I were on the phone, and we cried. It was so miraculous to have an official diagnosis. And to have a genetic understanding of how this came to be meant that our research could really start to happen,” she said. Having a definitive diagnosis ignited a greater sense of hope, and this hope also provided Rebecca and her family with a starting point where they could find more information, connect with specific communities, and make better informed decisions about a course of disease management.
Rebecca sets goals with determination and chooses to see potential barriers as challenges to overcome. For example, her reservations about using a cane were initially a hurdle to overcome, until practice showed her that walking with a cane gives people living with vision impairment a lot of valuable information and can give them a renewed sense of independence too. Rebecca also gives herself permission to feel the emotions that come with vision and hearing loss associated with Usher syndrome. On days when challenges feel tougher than normal, Rebecca asks people for help when she needs it.
“An important part of asking for help from other people is that you’re enlisting them, and you’re letting them know that they matter. There’s nothing people want to know more in this world than that they matter,” she said.
Rebecca’s journey with Usher syndrome has given her a strong desire to find others and build a sense of community through her work as a psychotherapist, author, group fitness instructor and extreme athlete. At the International Usher Syndrome Symposium in Germany this past summer, Rebecca met a family who had traveled a long way just to connect with her over shared experiences of her rare subtype of the genetic disease. Having a platform on which Rebecca can share a positive story born from challenging circumstances gives a voice to and represents the individuals who dream of accomplishing some of the feats she has – summitting Mt. Kilimanjaro, skydiving, and bungee jumping to name a few.
“Part of my process has been just owning it.” And part of just owning it is advocating for yourself for an official diagnosis. With her strength of spirit, Rebecca encourages others to do the same.

WENTWORTH Shire Mayor Melisa Hederics says there is “no question” that GP services must be re-established in Buronga/Gol Gol following One Health’s closure last week.
But it will be weeks before the community has answers on if and when a new clinic will open.
Member for Farrer Sussan Ley attended crisis talks last week after the Buronga medical practice said it had been forced to close its doors as it was unable to recruit another supervising GP after theirs moved to Broken Hill.

Horror screenplays are meant for making horrifying movies, theatrical performs or teleplays. Horror films are something it’s a must to put together for. Lots of horror motion pictures try to make you understand the monster, but few could make you care as deeply about them as Cronos. The secret is realizing which movies to watch, and not getting sucked into watching the direct-to-VOD trash, which proliferates on Netflix like a weed.
At a time when so many scary films are artfully transferring the violence out of the body, Killing Floor is a quiet return to ache for the viewers who need it. The pairing of a brooding Bruce Willis with the troubled Haley Joel Osment proved a powerhouse mixture for a movie that was equal parts mystery and horror.
What follows is a funny, contemporary, and, at instances, splendidly gory interpretation of the horror style. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil joins a proud tradition of recent movies like Cabin within the Woods that satirize the horror genre whereas additionally presenting a lovingly crafted and nicely-researched model of one.
Horror movies’ evolution all through the years has given society a brand new strategy to resourcefully utilize their advantages. However, with the original at the least, Alien was as a lot a horror film as a sci-fi one. Australian director Sean Byrne’s long-awaited follow-as much as his 2009 hit The Cherished Ones is at once an ode to heavy metallic, an endearing family drama, and an exquisite serial-killer film rooted in a demonic-possession story.
Initially usually impressed by literature from authors like Edgar Allan Poe , Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley , horror has existed as a film style for more than a century. Darren Aronofsky’s movies Black Swan and The Wrestler both originated from one earlier story thought, a few wrestler and a ballerina who have an affair.

The German Federal Ministry of Finance said it welcomed a proposal by French Minister of the Economy and Finance Bruno Le Maire to ask his counterparts in the G20 to consider joint regulation of bitcoin.
The concerns are shared by the Italian government, which is also open to discussing regulation, while the EU is bringing in rules backed by the UK that would apply to bitcoin.
“It makes sense to discuss the speculative risks of virtual currencies and their impact on the financial system at an international level,” the ministry said in an e-mailed response to questions.
Signs of growing European concern came as bitcoin took another step toward acceptability with the launch of futures trading on Sunday night at CME Group Inc’s venue.
That was a week after Chicago rival Cboe Global Markets Inc introduced similar derivatives on the volatile cryptocurrency that was created in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis as an alternative to banks and government-issued currencies.
Bitcoin on Monday was closing in on a fresh record of US$20,000.
While Europe’s concerns have been voiced before in select forums about a currency that is stepping further into the mainstream financial world, Le Maire made those worries public in a weekend interview with France’s La Chaine Info TV.
“I don’t like it,” Le Maire said of bitcoin.
“It can hide activities such as drug trafficking and terrorism,” he said, adding that he has concerns for savers.
“There is an obvious speculative risk, we need to look at it, study it,” he said.
Italian Minister of Economy and Finances Pier Carlo Padoan would be ready to discuss Le Maire’s proposal, said a government official in Rome, who asked not to be named because the ministry has yet to receive any request from Paris.
EU lawmakers and representatives of the member states on Friday last week agreed on a revision of the bloc’s money laundering rules, extending the framework to firms that “are in charge of holding, storing and transferring virtual currencies,” the European Commission said in a statement.
These companies “will have to identify their customers and report any suspicious activity,” it added.
“That is why these regulations will help,” it added.
Two Nobel economics laureates last month denounced Bitcoin.
Robert Shiller said the attraction of the currency was a narrative akin to a “mystery movie” that draws in people who want to outsmart the system.
The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) last month warned of the risks of cryptocurrencies for consumers.
BaFin Chief Executive Director of Securities Supervision Elisabeth Roegele said in a Nov. 30 speech that regulation at a purely national level was not enough because of digital currencies’ international dimension.
“The Internet in particular does not know national borders,” Roegele said.

robert shiller said the attraction of the currency was a narrative akin to a “mystery movie” that draws in people who want to outsmart the system.
the german federal financial supervisory authority (bafin) last month warned of the risks of cryptocurrencies for consumers.
bafin chief executive director of securities supervision elisabeth roegele said in a nov. 30 speech that regulation at a purely national level was not enough because of digital currencies’ international dimension.
“the internet in particular does not know national borders,” roegele said.

Sixteen year old Sam Stewart values the environment – she doesn’t even eat fish. She’s gone under the radar and organized a rally led by David Suzuki… who hasn’t shown up! Sam now needs to convince his supporters to help her save the world from a devastating fate. But her concerns are much more imminent than global warming, threats of a pipeline, or the need to embrace veganism. With frantically little time, Sam will take any help for her campaign, even from a mysterious stranger who may be more than they appear to be. Sam’s story takes us on a journey from crazed activism to a place of real heart. A bittersweet slice of life with a dash of humour and a pinch of song.
There’s a preview of the show from the Times Colonist, but it has spoilers so I won’t link it. Read an excerpt of said preview, below!
The production received two professional workshops with Theatre SKAM under the amazing scrutiny of Matthew Payne, Kathleen Greenfield, and Max Johnson. Devising for this play has been done for Intrepid Theatre’s YOU Show with Randi Edmundson in 2013. The show was developed from a 10 minute piece I co-created with Rae Takei for Theatre SKAM’s Bike Ride Festival (now SKAMpede) in 2012.

Wat Chong Kham () is located on the bank of the swamp Nong Chong Kham and was built in 1827 by Thai Yai artisans. The pillars are gilded with gold flakes. The temple houses a large Buddha statue with a lap width of 4.85 metres cast by Burmese craftsmen. Phu Klon Country Club uses natural black mud which has skin care and therapeutic benefits. The area has now been developed into a spa resort.
Huai Nam Dang National Park covers four districts : Mae Taeng, Chiang Dao, and Wiang Haeng in Chiang Mai province including Pai district in Mae Hong Son province. The climate is comfortably pleasant. The average year-round temperature is 20?c, dropping to 10?c in October to February and soaring to 25?c on March to April. The wettest months being May to September.

Some days ago I bought the latest issue of the so called „Enten Edition“. A regular special release of the „Lustiges Taschenbuch“ (LTB). It comes about 3 times, maybe twice a year and often contains brand new releases by mostly Italian artists. Every issue has a special topic, this time it is about ancestors. When I first saw the cover artwork at the end of last year I was really excited because I thought we would get some stories in the way of Don Rosa’s „The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck“. The cover artwork shows many of Scrooges ancestors. But this book only contains stupid stories of Ducks in Egypt, Arabia, Ducks as pirates and other stupid times. I was really dissapointed. Only one story really caught me: Magica De Spell’s ancestor who invented a hammer that made everything to gold and Scrooge’s ancestor dressing up as a witch to infiltrate the witches and get the hammer. This story was really funny. But the rest just sucked. This book was something we in Germany call „Mogelpackung“, it pretended to be something it just is not!
I admit, Don Rosa really created a masterpiece and it will be hard for any other artist to reach the quality of the stories. But sometimes I feel like Italian artists just want to draw and write anything, just fill up some pages and sell the stuff to Ehapa that release this stories here in Germany. Ehapa also releases a monthly book hardly containing Italian comics because many fans don‘t like them. And slowly I start to understand why.

Dr Leonie Quinn has been awarded a 2017 Innovation Grant from the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation.
Dr Quinn will receive $100,000 each year over the next two years to study drug targets for oligodendroglioma, the second most common primary brain cancer in adults.
"Survival for primary brain cancer, or glioma, patients has not improved in over 30 years," she said.
"The grant will provide us with an exciting opportunity to explore how brain cancer occurs and ultimately develop new treatments."
The project, which will start in early 2018, aims to identify new predictive markers within these types of tumours and investigate drug therapies for specific tumours based on their molecular causes.
This study will enable more personalised treatments, which are critical to improving survival rates and quality of life for people diagnosed with the disease.
Cure Brain Cancer Foundation Chief Executive Officer Michelle Stewart congratulated Dr Quinn for winning the grant.
"With our Innovation Grants, we are backing ambitious projects with potentially high reward, and I'm very excited to see the results of Dr Quinn's project over the coming years," she said.
Dr Quinn will collaborate with Professor Ross Hannan from the ACRF Department of Cancer Biology and Therapeutics at JCSMR, and Professor David Levens and Professor Mark Gilbert from The Center for Cancer Research in the United States.

Claire texted me this morning to say that something was happening up at our little local airport, just a short walk from our house, asking if I wanted to go there with her.
I have literally walked this road hundreds of times over the years we've lived here, but this is the first time I've ever seen an event like this here!
Today is our town's "Drakiáda", which as you can probably tell has something to do with kites!
While in the States people are visiting pumpkin patches, apple orchards and corn mazes, here a popular fall event is Drakiáda - kite flying day. Our kids used to have it with school every year, so always needed a kite to go out with their class for an afternoon of kite flying.
But for the past three years the airport club at our little Malenovice airport has been sponsoring such an event for kids and their families. And today was the day for this year's Drakiáda!
It couldn't have been a better day weather wise - a nice fall temperature and lots of wind!
I was surprised to see how many people came out for it! But there were booths, a climbing wall and an open day at the airport for seeing the airplanes that are in hangars there.
We wandered out onto the airstrip, which is usually forbidden, to get a view right underneath all those kites flying in the air!
It was honestly one of the most endearing sites to see! Families flying kites with their children, people on the ground watching them, and sweet Czech folk music playing in the background. Kind of an epic and iconic type of fall day!
Claire and I couldn't resist sitting out on the airstrip too, watching the kites and admiring the 360 degree view from this spot.
You could see gorgeous views in every direction, including Lysá hora, the namesake of my blog!
Lysá hora is the highest peak on the right, with the tower on top.
What a perfect way to spend part of a fall afternoon. Next year I want to fly a kite too!

Prairie Moderne is my first modern house and it is VERY family friendly. It has tons of outdoor activities like sprinklers, tree houses, hopscotch, swimming, swings, etc. And the front pond is stocked with koi fishies!
It also has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Mostly everything is decorated but feel free to change anything you want. There is one room downstairs I left empty - I plan on personally turning it into a theater room but you can make it an extra bedroom if you want as well. There is a two car garage with a parking space outside and a laundry room, too.
The style is…quirky. I have a quirky family living in it and decorated it along their theme which I guess could be called Bohemian? The interior colors are black, green, red and white with earthy wood tones. The outdoors I tried to convey a family-friendly, relaxed environment.
There ARE quite a few items from the Store used in this house, mostly clutter, so if you don’t have them your game will replace them with base game proxies.
Prairie Moderne is a very nice home! Very nice layout of the build! The exterior design of the building looks very nice. Very nice front pond feature! The rock waterfall looks nice there, and it is great that it is stocked with koi fish . Very nice landscaping work! The pool patio is very nice! Sims will have fun swimming in the pool, or enjoy relaxing on the loungers under the shade of the umbrella. Very nice furnishing of the interior of the home! The open plan living , dining and kitchen areas are very nice. The pink flowers on the dining table are pretty for Sims to see as they enjoy eating a meal. Very nice design of the kitchen! The black brick wall texture gives a nice look to the room. Very nice design of the bedrooms. The bookcase look great placed on each side of the bed in the master bedroom and the plants are nice touches of nature.
Sims will enjoy living there!
This is beautiful! I'm normally not a modern fan, but this has a totally earthy vibe to it, I love it! Especially the colors you chose.
Thank you! I'm not a huge fan of moderns either but this house is the only exception lol.
Did you use any modded item?
Beautiful house..and that pool is gorgeous!
So creative! I usually don't like modern either due the cold starkness of it, but you made this one seem so cozy! I tried to use a green and back color scheme once and it just looked crazy, but you made it work!
@Amphora , sorry it took me so long to take some pics, but your house is lovely in my game !
it looks better in your game than mine!!!
Pics of interior, exterior and pool house under the cut.
I’m currently using the house for a vampire of mine who is a very old ancestor/twin brother of my long deceased legacy founder. I converted the third guest bedroom into his secret lair. But that’s neither here nor there.
-A black, red and white color scheme.
And there are some items from the Sims 3 Store as well. I’m not sure how much so prepare yourselves if there are some items missing. Your game should replace them with base game proxies.
Pember Chateau is a very nice home! Very nice exterior design of the home, and the outdoors areas are very nice! The windows look great how they are used in the build, creating a very nice light filled home. The sauna room looks so restful!

prairie moderne is my first modern house and it is very family friendly. it has tons of outdoor activities like sprinklers, tree houses, hopscotch, swimming, swings, etc. and the front pond is stocked with koi fishies!
it also has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. mostly everything is decorated but feel free to change anything you want. there is one room downstairs i left empty - i plan on personally turning it into a theater room but you can make it an extra bedroom if you want as well. there is a two car garage with a parking space outside and a laundry room, too.
the style is…quirky. i have a quirky family living in it and decorated it along their theme which i guess could be called bohemian? the interior colors are black, green, red and white with earthy wood tones. the outdoors i tried to convey a family-friendly, relaxed environment.
there are quite a few items from the store used in this house, mostly clutter, so if you don’t have them your game will replace them with base game proxies.
prairie moderne is a very nice home! very nice layout of the build! the exterior design of the building looks very nice. very nice front pond feature! the rock waterfall looks nice there, and it is great that it is stocked with koi fish . very nice landscaping work! the pool patio is very nice! sims will have fun swimming in the pool, or enjoy relaxing on the loungers under the shade of the umbrella. very nice furnishing of the interior of the home! the open plan living , dining and kitchen areas are very nice. the pink flowers on the dining table are pretty for sims to see as they enjoy eating a meal. very nice design of the kitchen! the black brick wall texture gives a nice look to the room. very nice design of the bedrooms. the bookcase look great placed on each side of the bed in the master bedroom and the plants are nice touches of nature.
sims will enjoy living there!
this is beautiful! i'm normally not a modern fan, but this has a totally earthy vibe to it, i love it! especially the colors you chose.
thank you! i'm not a huge fan of moderns either but this house is the only exception lol.
did you use any modded item?
beautiful house..and that pool is gorgeous!
so creative! i usually don't like modern either due the cold starkness of it, but you made this one seem so cozy! i tried to use a green and back color scheme once and it just looked crazy, but you made it work!
@amphora , sorry it took me so long to take some pics, but your house is lovely in my game !
it looks better in your game than mine!!!
pics of interior, exterior and pool house under the cut.
i’m currently using the house for a vampire of mine who is a very old ancestor/twin brother of my long deceased legacy founder. i converted the third guest bedroom into his secret lair. but that’s neither here nor there.
-a black, red and white color scheme.
and there are some items from the sims 3 store as well. i’m not sure how much so prepare yourselves if there are some items missing. your game should replace them with base game proxies.

The European Space Agency has stated that 3D printing a moon base is possible within the next 40 years, and is looking into developing the project, which is still in its planning phase, further.
he European Space Agency (ESA) has proven that its project to 3D-print a base on the Moon is possible. In a latest video the agency shows how 3D-printing robots may be used to build the base using lunar material.
The ESA started investigation of the lunar base possibility in 2013, working alongside its industrial and architectural partners. The creation of the reliable semi-spherical structures on the surface of the moon could be fulfilled within the next 40 years, and 90 percent of the materials needed would be derived from the moon itself.
The latest details of the new concept, which is, however, still “firmly on the drawing board,” were discussed at a conference this week at ESA’s technical center in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
“3D printing offers a potential means of facilitating lunar settlement with reduced logistics from Earth,” Scott Hovland, of ESA’s human spaceflight team, said in a statement.
“The new possibilities this work opens up can then be considered by international space agencies as part of the current development of a common exploration strategy,” he said.
As planned, the location of the settlement would be at the “peak of eternal light” – that is, along the rim of the Shackleton Crater on the south pole of the moon. This location was also chosen previously by NASA for its intended human settlement base, as it would mean near-constant solar power.
The structure of a living pod would be formed by the habitation capsule and a dome, which would be covered by a protective shell made of lunar dust “cement” by two 3D-printing robots. It will be vital to protect people – up to four astronauts would become the first moon settlers – from radiation, meteoroids and temperature jumps – functions that on Earth are carried out by the atmosphere.
The moonbase plans are by no means the first attempt to apply 3D-printing to space technologies. This September, the International Space Station welcomed a high-tech 3D printer, aimed at creating tools and supplies for astronauts.
Human-sized and weighing 3kg, this £6,000 project is the world’s first 3D printed rocket. Will its maiden voyage be the success that its team hopes it to be?
Fueled by beer and the enthusiasm of amateurs, a British team on Friday said it was preparing to launch the world’s first ever 3D printed rocket.
Showing off the human-sized rocket in a central London office, Lester Haines, head of the “Special Projects Bureau” at technology magazine The Register, described the technical challenges and “big future” of 3D printing in aeronautics.
“NASA are already 3D-prinsting metal rocket parts, so it’s obviously got a big future,” he said.
The project — sponsored by German data analytics firm Exasol AG — was suggested by readers of The Register and goes by the grand title “Low Orbit Helium Assisted Navigator,” or LOHAN for short.
It took 30 committed team members, including doctorate aeronautical engineers, four years to build the rocket.
The biggest challenge was getting the standard hobbyist rocket motor to fire at high altitudes, Haines said.
The team said it plans to launch the rocket from Spaceport America, the home of Virgin Galactic in New Mexico, later this year, after securing the ￡15,000 (US$24,000) needed for liftoff on crowdfunding site Kickstarter.
A huge helium balloon will lift the rocket 20,000m into the stratosphere, at which point the onboard GPS is set to ignite the engine, catapulting it to speeds of about 1,610kph.
The 3kg rocket, which cost ￡6,000 to print, is then scheduled to use an onboard autopilot to guide it back to Earth, all captured by an onboard video camera.
Haines explained how 3D printing’s main advantage was in speeding up the process of refining prototypes, requiring only a tweak to the computer-aided design plans that instruct the printer.

This page contains a list of cheats, codes, Easter eggs, tips, and other secrets for Rise of the Argonauts for PC. If you've discovered a cheat you'd like to add to the page, or have a correction, please click EDIT and add it.
Note: Alter game files at your own risk and always make backups! Use a text editor to edit the "LiquidGame.ini" file (in the My DocumentsMy GamesRise of ArgonautsLiquid GameConfig directory in XP).
Change the value of the MediumDifficultyDamageModifier line (or the line that corresponds to whatever difficulty you are playing) from 1.0 to 0.0. Save and start the game and you will be invincible.
After receiving Hermes's Sight on Saria, go to Callas (outside the cave. Talk to Callas, then return to Agrios (in the village).
You'll be asked to match three choices in order to convince him to take down the body. Pick a different god's response after the first dialogue choice (e.g. choose Hermes and pick Ares's option "He belongs in Tartarus") and Agrios will refuse to take the body down -- and that's just what you want him to do.
Continue to make the wrong choices and you'll build dialogue choices for all the gods. These options satisfy the gods' dialogue quotas. This is an easy way to get Apollo's 75 choice deed.
Defeat Pelias by throwing Jason's spear towards him (at first) after he's exhausted his magic beam against Jason's shield (block the beam's whole duration).
When Pelias changes his attack pattern and shoots magic missiles from the air, power block (guard and press the shield shove button) to reflect the missiles back at him.
When Pelias changes his attack pattern a final time and shoots magic missiles from the ground, simply dodge his attacks and rush him with melee weapons. Destroy his shield with melee attacks and fertilize his the ground with his fetid corpse.
Defeat Achilles with the pre-selected spear by dodging to his side or back when he charges Jason and thrusting out once with the Lethal blow. If the hit spark is gold or yellow, the hit will be a dud, but occasionally you will score a bloody injury.
A second method is to block Achilles as he's incoming and then counter-attack twice with Wounding (weaker) blows. This process is just as long as the first; the champion of Hellas doesn't drop dead easily.

There will be a new unit of study introduced each month in order for the children to get hands on, in-depth instruction about a variety of subjects. The subjects include volcanoes, dinosaurs, solar system, human body, sea life, pond life, animals, bugs and insects, botany, recycling, cooking, nutrition, dental health, art exploration, holidays and customs, transportation, and safety.
The following five subjects will be taught on a weekly basis. They will be rotated among the days of the week so that children attending less than five days a week will still be exposed to all of the subjects.
A variety of rhythm and percussion instruments will be used in conjunction with formal music instruction, as well as with a variety of music experiences during daily circle lessons. The classroom teacher also plays guitar and will use it frequently to supplement music and songs. A 3/4 size children’s guitar will be available to the children for them to experiment with and make their own music.
The children will be taught some basic Spanish phrases in addition to counting, names of animals, days the week and months, foods, colors etc. The children are at a time in their lives when second and third languages are learned very easily and they enjoy the exposure to the new words and concepts.
In addition to the outdoor recreation available during daily recess time, a more structured movement instruction will be provided to the children to help develop large motor skills. We have developed a varied curriculum to help maximize the coordination and large motor development that is so important to the young child.
Each week we will explore the world of science through some basic, but fascinating science experiments that the children can repeat as many times as they wish on their own during classroom work time.
We will learn to follow recipes, measure ingredients, and whip up some yummy treats.
