Joke of the Day… ” I am fine … ” !!!

Farmer Joe was in his car when he was hit by a truck. He decided his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company (responsible for the accident) to court. In court the trucking company’s fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe. “Didn’t you say, at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine’?” said the lawyer.

Farmer Joe responded, “Well I’ll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the….” “I didn’t ask for any details,” the lawyer interrupted, “just answer the question.”

“Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine’!”

Farmer Joe said, “Well I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road….”

The lawyer interrupted again and said, “Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question.”

By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe’s answer and said to the lawyer, “I’d like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule Bessie.”

Joe thanked the Judge and proceeded, “Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other.

I was hurting real bad and didn’t want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans.

Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes.

Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. He said, “Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you feeling?”

Joke of the Day… ” Sand Bags…” !!!

Juan comes up to the Mexican border on his bicycle. He’s got two large bags over his shoulders. The guard stops him and says, “What’s in the bags?”

“Sand,” answered Juan.

The guard says, “We’ll just see about that. Get off the bike.” The guard detains Juan overnight and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags. He releases Juan and lets him cross the border.

A week later, the same thing happens. The guard asks, “What’s in the bags?”

“Sand,” says Juan.

The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to Juan, and Juan crosses the border on his bicycle.

This sequence of events is repeated every week for three years.

Finally, Juan doesn’t show up one day and the guard meets him in a Cantina in Mexico.

“Hey Buddy,” says the guard, “I know you are smuggling something. It’s driving me crazy. It’s all I think about…Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?”

Juan sips his beer and says, “Bicycles.” !!!

Image of the Day… Daytime Moon Covers Venus…

When the daytime moon covers Venus

Beautiful time-sequenced images from 2007, when the daytime moon covered the brightest planet, Venus.

When the moon occulted - over covered over - the planet Venus on June 17, 2007.  Photo by Alfons Gabel.

We don’t usually run photos from years ago as our Today’s Image. But with Venus blazing away in the west after sunset, we figured … yes! On June 18, 2007, the crescent moon eclipsed Venus. The 2007 occultation of Venus by the moon was visible in broad daylight from Europe and later at sunset from the Middle East and India. Alfons Gabel – a team member at Trebur Observatory – caught the occultation from Germany. He wrote:

Reading your article about stars and planets in the daytime, I remembered a daytime occultation of Venus I recorded in 2007. Using the waning moon as an indicator in the broad afternoon sky, even Venus was easily visible to the unaided eye – surprisingly bright.

Although not on the central line at my location in Klein-Winternheim near the 2000-year-old city of Mainz, Venus disappeared for 1 hour and 22 minutes behind the moon.

Such a long period was only possible, because Venus followed the moon’s sidereal motion with one fifth of its speed.

The creeping disappearance and even the reappearance at the bright edge of the moon were unforgettable impressions.

Best greetings from the Rhine river!

Best greetings to you as well, Alfons, and thank you for the images on this page!

By the way, the moon will occult Venus twice in 2015: October 8 and December 7.

Joke of the Day…” Gentlemen .. I am Dying ….” !!!

A priest, a lawyer, and an accountant were all at the bedside of a very ill man. The man said to them,

“Gentlemen, I’m dying. Before I go, however, I want to ask you one final favor: My family is rotten and I don’t want to give any of them an inheritance. I would like to be buried with the remainder of my money.” He then hands the priest, the lawyer, and the accountant three envelopes that contain $100,000 each.

“While my coffin is being lowered into the earth, please throw each of the envelopes in. Don’t tell anyone what’s inside the envelopes.”

So the three men leave. Sure enough, one week later, the man dies. During the funeral, the three men toss the envelopes into the grave whilst the coffin was being lowered. After the funeral, the three men go to a cafe to discuss the life of the old man. The priest says,

“I have a confession: I took $10,000 from my envelope. But I used it to fix up the children’s home. The old man was always very generous and loved the children. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind seeing where his money went.”

The lawyer pipes in,

“Well, I also have a confession: I took $30,000 as payment of a personal loan he borrowed from me years ago.”

The accountant, looking rather shocked, says,

“I cannot believe you two! I wrote a personal check that covered the whole thing!”

” Your Plane Could Be Operated by Remote Control , if the Latest Trial in Sweden Takes off …” !!!

YOUR plane could soon be operated by remote control if the latest trial in Sweden takes off.

Örnsköldsvik airport in the northeast of Sweden has ditched its control tower and is now landing planes via remote control from an airport sitting 100km away. And there are plans for a similar system to come to Australia.

Air traffic controllers for Örnsköldsvik now sit in a computer simulated room at the larger Sundsvall airport surrounded by giant television screens beaming footage to them of Örnsköldsvik’s incoming planes.

The only airport in the world to be managed by remote control, it is called the Remote Tower System (RTS) and is being trialled in Sweden as a way of improving accuracy and cutting costs.

It works by streaming high definition images of incoming planes at Örnsköldsvik to a Remote Tower Control room based in Sundsvall. Using high tech cameras, sensors and microphones — the RTS collects data about the plane to provide a simulated digital visual to the controllers as well as surround sound audio of the incoming plane.

The technology has been designed by Saab, the Swedish defence and security company, who says it provides “enhanced situational awareness” for air traffic controllers.

New features include object tracking and alerting, night vision, image enhancement, onscreen display of plane statistics, runway incursion warnings and options for zooming and switching to infra-red view in thick fog and darkness.

The system will use real time object tracking. Picture: Saab.

Mikael Henriksson, the project manager of the RTS in Sundsvall, told NPR it’s a “paradigm shift” for the industry. “For the air traffic controller, this is like airline pilots going from propeller to jet,” he said.

NPR spoke to Erik Backman who runs the RTS in Sundsvall, who says he was dubious when he first saw the mock-up technology in 2004. However a decade later he says they’ve been landing planes remotely for months without any major problems.

The use of remote control towers has been explored by the aviation industry as a way of cutting costs at airports too quiet to warrant full time air traffic controllers.

Later this year a US airport, Leesburg Executive Airport in Virginia, will be installing the RTC, making it the first remote-controlled operated airport in the country.

This airport is operated by remote control... really?

Saab believes regional airports can be operated by remote towers. Picture: Saab. Source: YouTube

Australia is also considering installing the technology with plans to control planes at Adelaide airport by air traffic controllers sitting in Melbourne, 700km away.

Rob Walker, spokesman for Airservices Australia, told the Adelaide Advertiser that the increase in air traffic across Australia requires an upgraded and centralised air traffic system.

He said this system would allow controllers monitoring aircraft in Adelaide to be based in Melbourne and aircraft in Cairns to be monitored from Brisbane.

“There is no change in the number of controllers but only where the service is delivered from … and safety is not an issue,’’ he said. Changes will not be made until 2017.

Selfie of Curiosity ‘Mojovae’ Site on Mount Sharp of MARS !!!!

 

This self-portrait of NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover shows the vehicle at the “Mojave” site, where its drill collected the mission’s second taste of Mount Sharp.

The scene combines dozens of images taken during January 2015 by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera at the end of the rover’s robotic arm.  The pale “Pahrump Hills” outcrop surrounds the rover, and the upper portion of Mount Sharp is visible on the horizon.  Darker ground at upper right and lower left holds ripples of wind-blown sand and dust.

An annotated version, Fig. A, labels several of the sites Curiosity has investigated during three passes up the Pahrump Hills outcrop examining the outcrop at increasing levels of detail. The rover used its sample-collecting drill at “Confidence Hills” as well as at Mojave, and in late February was assessing “Telegraph Peak” as a third drilling site.

The view does not include the rover’s robotic arm.  Wrist motions and turret rotations on the arm allowed MAHLI to acquire the mosaic’s component images. The arm was positioned out of the shot in the images, or portions of images, that were used in this mosaic. This process was used previously in acquiring and assembling Curiosity self-portraits taken at sample-collection sites “Rocknest” (http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16468), “John Klein” (http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16937) and “Windjana” (http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA18390).

Curiosity used its drill to collect a sample of rock powder from target “Mojave 2” at this site on Jan. 31, 2015.  The full-depth, sample-collection hole and the shallower preparation test hole beside it are visible in front of the rover in this self-portrait, and in more detail at http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA19115 .  The Mojave site is in the “Pink Cliffs” portion of the Pahrump Hills outcrop. The outcrop is an exposure of the Murray formation, which forms the basal geological layer of Mount Sharp.  Views of Pahrump Hills from other angles are at http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA19039 and the inset at http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/images/?ImageID=6968 .

The frames showing the rover in this mosaic were taken during the 868th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity’s work on Mars (Jan. 14, 2015).  Additional frames around the edges to extend the amount of terrain included in the scene were taken on Sol 882 (Jan. 29, 2015).  The frames showing the drill holes were taken on Sol 884 (Jan. 31, 2015).

For scale, the rover’s wheels are 20 inches (50 centimeters) in diameter and about 16 inches (40 centimeters) wide.  The drilled holes in the rock are 0.63 inch (1.6 centimeters) in diameter.

MAHLI was built by Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL designed and built the project’s Curiosity rover.

Things That Hurt Our Immune System ….

As you probably already know, the health of your immune system is actually YOUR health. The better it is off, the more resistant you are to invading viruses and infection. Many seem to think that the biggest influence on your immune system is vaccinations and diseases. This is only a small part of the story.Your habits, those things you do daily, have a huge impact on your immune system and ultimately – on how protected you are from illness, especially as you get older. Here are 8 behaviors that damage your immune system and that you should avoid for your own good.
1. You don’t chit-chat enough
It is becoming more and more clear that social interaction isn’t just healthy for the mind but also for the body. The mere social behavior may contribute a lot to our well being. Research has shown that a low level of social interaction at home, work, and the community makes us more likely to become sick.
When we lack social engagement, our brains get flooded with anxiety-generating chemicals, and we end up actually living shorter lives than our more sociable friends. One research that our of 270+ people between the ages of 18-55, those that had 6 or more regular social interactions were 4 times better at holding off cold viruses.
How to solve: We all have hectic lives at times, but don’t forget to cultivate and maintain your friendships, they may be just as important as your gym membership.
2. You don’t get enough sleep
 
There’s always something to do, and this day and age – always something to watch. But staying up late and waking up early is associated by many health experts with a weak immune system that has a reduced amount of killer white blood cells to fight germs and viruses with. A study conducted by the University of Chicago found that men who sleep only 4 hours a night, for 1 week only, only produced half (!) the amount of antibodies designed to fight off flu, compared to those sleeping 7.5-8.5 hours per night.
How to solve: Most adults require 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, but if you’re still tired half an hour after waking up – your quality of sleep is probably not so good. Try to get enough sleep and if you are tired – consult a sleep specialist, because sleep is crucial to your immune system and overall wellbeing.

3. You’re a downer
Serious research has unequivocally shown that people who tend to look at the glass as half empty and with a leak, have more stress in their lives and worse health. Those that are more optimistic have a higher T-cell count, a better immune response, and more powerful white cells. Now of course it could be that optimistic people take better care of themselves and their health, but it seems quite logical that a blacked look at life will cause your body to also get depressed, and with it your immune system.
How to solve: It’s not that easy to just clap your hands and poof! you’re an optimist. It takes a real commitment to change your
speech and thought patterns, simply by asking yourselves: “what other way can I look at this? Is there a less terrible way to judge this?” Try it, a little at a time. Try to really understand why something, or someone, might be better than you thought. Change will come with time, and with it – a boost to your immune system.
4. You fight with your spouse in the wrong way
A very interesting research by UCLA found that couples that discuss their problems openly receive the same boost to their immune system and killer cell count as they would get from mild exercise. On the flip side, couples that fight by sarcasm, insults and passive-aggressive behavior have less T cells, higher levels of stress hormones (logically) and may take up to 40% loner to recover from injuries than their more open and positive counterparts.
How to solve: Habits and relationship dynamics are also hard things to change, and many couples rely on friendly banter. That’s fine, it is when that banter becomes a bit TOO sharp that you start suffering, and it’s never good for the relationship either. If you have a real problem, discussing it bravely and openly with your spouse is not just healthy for your relationship, but apparently also for your own body.
5. No break from the rat race of stress

immune system

Everyone deals with stress on occasion, but what happens when we are under stress day after day, with hardly any letup? What happens is that your immune system starts experiencing a decline in its ability to fight infection, virus and germ. Periods of stress that do not let up quickly will cause your killer cell count to drop and turn your immune system more sluggish. It is a known fact that widows and widowers are a lot more likely to get sick in the year following the death of their spouse than those who have not gone through this major loss and stress-inducing event.
How to solve: To each their own. We all have things that relieve our stress, whether it’s a scented bath, going to the gym, getting off work for a few days or anything in between. Remember those things that relax you and go do them on a regular basis. That’s right, make room in your busy calender for ‘relaxation’ – that is if you want to live a healthier life.
6. You borrow stuff from other people

Take our advice: If you need to use a pen, bring your own. If you need a calculator, bring your own. If you need a laptop… well, you get the point. Cold and flu germs are passed, more often than not, by hand to hand contact. You never know where an object has been and who has touched it. We’re not saying run away when someone offers you a pen, but we would suggest not making a habit of borrowing other people’s stuff – you never know when you might pick something up and pass it along to your family.

How to solve:  Make a list of the most common items you will need to use during the day. Carry a bag or have some deep pockets for some basic stuff like a pen. Don’t borrow stuff that you can bring from home.
pills

7. Leave those antibiotics alone 

Antibiotics were invented to fight serious infections and germs. Taking antibiotics every time you have a slight illness or a few symptoms will cause your body to develop a more serious resistance to antibiotics, and so you will become vulnerable to the more serious cases of infection. Research has found that patients tending to take a lot of antibiotics have a more suppressed immune system, which means you will get more sick in the future, so you are just postponing this light sickness for a more serious illness down the line.
How to solve:  Only take antibiotics when you have a bacterial infection, take as much as ordered, but do not use them to prevent illness unless instructed to specifically by your doctor. Don’t save antibiotics you didn’t use for the future, use as much as told and throw away the rest.
8. Why so serious?
This may be no laughing matter, but your immune system loves a good chuckle. Research has shown that emotions accompanying real laughter cause a decrease in the level of stress hormones in the body as well as certain immune cells. In a recent research conducted at the Loma Lina University of Medicine, adults watching a funny video for as little as an hour showed significant increases in their immune system activity.
How to solve:  Well, we think this one explains itself! Laughmore, people! Enjoy your favorite comedies, meet with your funniest friends, read silly comics and memes and just open yourself to funny experiences!
