I did it lmao

Summary: Matthew's invited to stay at his family's estate in North Carolina to attend his aunt's funeral and finally meet his cousin Alfred. He isn't too interested in getting close to anyone from his family, not after everything his mom had said about them after running away from them almost 2 decades ago. However, as things in Scarlet Hollow go from weird to horrifying to deadly, Matthew discovers secrets his family had tried to keep buried for over a century.

How much does Alfred know? And what's his real reason for inviting Matthew in the first place?

cute thought

since kate and nana r both east asian(korean and japanese) they def like celebrating holidays together(like chuseok/tsukimi/the mid-autumn festival/harvest moon festival[ok but who knew this festival had so many names 😭😭 not me and my culture celebrates it])

what abt aph u ask? well she also celebrates w them and ofc they celebrate her holidays w her :3

tbh i can see kate n nana trying to find a hanbok or kimono for aph during the holidays n arguing which she looks better in(the answer is both. she looks great in both)

Space Station Science Highlights: Week of Mar 5, 2018

ISS - Expedition 55 Mission patch. March 12, 2018 The crew members aboard the International Space Station were busy with scientific operations this week as their on-ground counterparts completed final preparations for their upcoming launch at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. NASA astronauts Ricky Arnold and Drew Feustel, and cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev of Roscosmos, will join Anton Shkaplerov of Roscomos, Scott Tingle of NASA and Norishige Kanai of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency aboard the orbiting laboratory following their March 21 launch. Take a look at some of the science that happened this week aboard the station: Bubble Detectors released into station for radiation detection The RaDI-N2 Neutron Field Study (Radi-N2) measures neutron radiation levels aboard the orbiting laboratory using Space Bubble Detectors. Results from this investigation may provide a better understanding of the connections between neutron radiation and DNA damage and mutation rates, symptoms that affect some astronauts, and other radiation health issues.

APH provides a laboratory for the comprehensive study of plant metabolism, transcription, protein production and much more. Animation Credit: NASA. This week, crew members deployed eight Space Bubble Detectors, designed to detect neutrons and ignore all other forms of radiation. Crew enjoys space-grown veggies Future long-duration missions into the solar system will require a fresh food supply to supplement crew diets, which means growing crops in space. The Veg-03 investigation expands on previous validation tests of the new Veggie hardware, which crew members will soon use to grow cabbage, lettuce and other fresh vegetables in space. Our space gardeners were busy this week as they watered, pruned, and photographed the plants, which are growing in special plant pillows. Finally, the crew enjoyed the first harvest of Mizuna and red romaine lettuce from the VEG-03 investigation.

This marks the first time that two grow-outs have been initiated using two Veggie facilities in parallel aboard the space station. These plants will provide the crew the opportunity to consume fresh vegetables every few days, while some of the products from this run will be returned to Earth for testing.

Crew’s airway tested for Nitric Oxide With dust particles present in the space station atmosphere, Airway Monitoring studies the occurrence and indicators of airway inflammation in crewmembers, using ultra-sensitive gas analyzers to analyze exhaled air. This helps to highlight any health impacts and to maintain crewmember well-being on future human spaceflight missions, especially longer-duration missions to the Moon and Mars for example, where crewmembers will have to be more self-sufficient in highlighting and avoiding such conditions. This kind of research may also benefit similar conditions, such as asthma, on Earth. This week, crewmembers performed two different measurement protocols; the low Nitric Oxide (NO) protocol which determines how much NO is exhaled with the respiration, and the high NO protocol, which determines how much NO is diffused into the blood.

Crew prepares for next week’s ACME operations The Advanced Combustion Microgravity Experiment (ACME) investigation is a set of studies of gaseous flames to be conducted in the Combustion Integration Rack (CIR), one of which being Electric-Field Effects on Laminar Diffusion Flames (E-FIELD Flames). In E-FIELD Flames, an electric field with voltages as high as 10,000 volts is established between the burner and a mesh electrode. The motion of the charged ions, which are naturally produced within the flame, are strongly affected by a high-voltage electric field. The resulting ion-driven wind can dramatically influence the stability and sooting behavior of the flame. Measurements are made of electric-field strength, the ion current passing through the flame, and flame characteristics such as the size, structure, temperature, soot, and stability. Conducting the tests in microgravity enables new understanding and the development of less polluting and more efficient combustion technology for use on Earth.

Space to Ground: A Unique Experience: 03/09/2018

This week, in preparation for the first E-FIELD Flames operations next week, the crew replaced the compensator module and reconfigured the ACME within the CIR. Other work was done on these investigations: Crew Earth Observations, EMCS, MagVector, Space Headaches, Wisenet, Transparent Alloys, DOSIS-3D, EIISS, VESSEL ID, Plant Gravity Perception, Lighting Effects, AstroPi, ELF, Meteor, Two Phase Flow, Tropical Cyclone, and Plant Habitat.

Astronauts are harvesting fresh radishes grown in space, a delicious prospect that also could help seed food production efforts for longer-term missions to the moon and Mars.

The Advanced Plant Habitat cultivates radishes, a plant that is nutritious, edible and has a short cultivation time.

NASA

On Monday, NASA flight engineer Kate Rubins pulled out 20 radish plants grown in the space station’s Advanced Plant Habitat, wrapping them in foil for cold storage until they can make the voyage back to Earth next year.

Radishes are the latest type of fresh produce to be successfully grown and harvested in zero gravity, joining “Outredgeous” red romaine lettuce, green lettuce, Chinese cabbage, lentils and mustard, according to a NASA fact sheet.

“I’ve worked on APH since the beginning, and each new crop that we’re able to grow brings me great joy because what we learn from them will help NASA send astronauts to Mars and bring them back safely,” said Nicole Dufour, the Advanced Plant Habitat program manager at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, in a news release.

Food for future space missions

Back on the ground, scientists at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida are growing radishes in a control group set for harvest on December 15. The researchers will compare the space-grown radishes to the veggies grown on Earth, checking on how space produce measures up on providing the minerals and nutrients astronauts need as they prepare for longer trips.

Meanwhile, astronauts will repeat the radish experiment in the heavens, planting and harvesting another round of radish crop to give scientists more data to draw from.

With their short cultivation time, radishes present potential advantages as a food source for future astronauts embarking on deep space missions in years to come. The radishes grow quickly, and they can reach full maturity in 27 days.

The root vegetables also don’t require much maintenance from the crew as they grow.

astronaut and flight engineer Kate Rubins checks out radish plants growing on the space station as part of an experiment to evaluate nutrition and taste of the plants.

NASA

“Radishes provide great research possibilities by virtue of their sensitive bulb formation,” said Karl Hasenstein, a professor of biology at the University of Louisiana and the principal investigator on the project, in a news release.

Researchers will analyze the effects of carbon dioxide on the radishes as well as how the vegetables acquire and distribute minerals, according to Hasenstein, who has run plant experiments with NASA since 1995.

Astronauts have grown 15 different types of plants on the station, including eight different types of leafy greens. And NASA has already tested more than 100 crops on Earth, identifying which candidates to try out next in space.

“Growing a range of crops helps us determine which plants thrive in microgravity and offer the best variety and nutritional balance for astronauts on long-duration missions,” Dufour said.

Years of research with space crops

The latest experiments build upon ongoing research growing and harvesting plants in space.

Researchers at NASA began experiments using its Vegetable Production Systems growth chambers back in 2014 shortly after they were delivered to the space station.

Some of the early experiments with red romaine lettuce resulted in a paper, published this March in the journal Frontiers in Plant Science, showing that space lettuce was safe to eat.

In August 2015, NASA shared a video that features American astronauts Dr. Kjell Lindgren and Scott Kelly floating aboard the station, saying “Cheers” and eating the space-grown treat.

“Tastes good,” Kelly said.

Getting space agriculture right matters because the nutrients in the prepackaged food that astronauts currently eat in space degrade over a period of time, NASA said.

Getting humans to Mars and back safely over a two- or three-year mission requires growing food along the way. That not only gives astronauts more of a vibrant supply of fresh nutrients on the voyage; it also serves an emotional need as they tend to crops that are both a figurative and literal taste of home, according to the agency.

The NASA Artemis program aims to land the first woman and next man on the moon in 2024, and to establish a sustained presence on the moon by 2028. From there, the agency will be poised to begin staging its next big leap, to Mars.

But before we make it to the red planet, we’ve first got to make a tasty green space salad.

Alt!

Send me "alt!" and I'll introduce you to a character I've rped in the past, want to play in the future or are currently playing somewhere else!

“You there! Good afternoon! See anything you like?”

A man sits cross legged under a small canopy atop a cushion, a variety of goods spread out on a blanket before him. Spices sit in small bowls, linens are laid out in a nice line, and jewelry sparkles in the afternoon sun. Behind the canopy, a wagon sits, various handmade rugs displayed, hung up on its sides.

The man, a merchant, presumably, presents a wide grin, the corners of his eyes crinkling. “For a pretty face like yours, I’d happily offer a lil’ discount. Nah, don’t try to say no, it’s my pleasure.”

“Pick out anything you like! Or how about I make some suggestions?”

You’ve met Sadik Adnan, resident of Gramina and travelling merchant! An APH Turkey muse for a Hetalia ring based on the video game series Harvest Moon.
