Over the past decade, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has captured thousands of high-resolution images of the Moon's surface—far more than humans can manually review. To tackle this challenge, scientists have developed an automated system that quickly identifies scientifically significant images from the LRO data, making it the first anomaly detector for planetary imagery. Experiments show that the system reliably highlights unusual features, such as striking geological formations and sites of human landings or spacecraft crashes. This approach fills a critical gap in planetary science, offering a groundbreaking way to uncover hidden insights in vast archives of remote-sensing data. Join senior planetary astronomer Franck Marchis as he chats with authors Adam Lesnikowski and Daniel Angerhausen about this revolutionary method and its implications for future discoveries. (Recorded 20 February 2025.)
En 2024, une étude menée par des chercheurs indiens du Physical Research Laboratory d'Ahmedabad a suggéré que les confinements mondiaux liés à la pandémie de Covid-19 avaient entraîné une diminution notable des températures nocturnes à la surface de la Lune. Cette hypothèse repose sur l'analyse des données recueillies par le Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) de la NASA, qui a mesuré les températures de six sites différents sur la face visible de la Lune entre 2017 et 2023. Les chercheurs ont observé une baisse de 8 à 10 Kelvin (K) des températures nocturnes en avril et mai 2020, période correspondant aux confinements les plus stricts.Selon cette étude, la réduction des activités humaines durant les confinements a conduit à une diminution des émissions de gaz à effet de serre et d'aérosols, modifiant ainsi le rayonnement thermique terrestre. Cette altération aurait réduit la quantité de chaleur réfléchie vers la Lune, entraînant un refroidissement de sa surface nocturne. Les auteurs ont écarté d'autres facteurs potentiels, tels que l'activité solaire ou les variations saisonnières, renforçant ainsi leur conclusion que les confinements étaient la cause la plus probable de cette anomalie thermique.Cependant, ces conclusions ont été remises en question par des chercheurs américains et caribéens. Une étude publiée en janvier 2025 par le professeur William Schonberg de la Missouri University of Science and Technology et la professeure Shirin Haque de l'Université des West Indies a réexaminé les mêmes données du LRO. Leur analyse a révélé que la diminution des températures avait débuté avant les confinements, dès 2019, et qu'une autre baisse significative avait été enregistrée en 2018. Ces observations suggèrent que la baisse de température ne peut être attribuée de manière concluante aux confinements liés au Covid-19.Les auteurs de cette seconde étude soulignent que, bien que des variations de température aient été observées, il est prématuré d'affirmer avec certitude que la réduction des activités humaines en est la cause principale. Ils appellent à une analyse plus approfondie pour identifier les facteurs potentiels responsables de ces fluctuations thermiques lunaires.En conclusion, bien que l'hypothèse initiale suggère un lien entre les confinements mondiaux et une baisse des températures nocturnes lunaires, des recherches supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour confirmer ou infirmer cette corrélation. Les débats scientifiques en cours illustrent la complexité de déterminer l'impact des activités terrestres sur des corps célestes aussi éloignés que la Lune. Hébergé par Acast.

In this video, I discuss a common misconception about the multifamily industry: centralization. I was inspired by a riveting debate between Moshe Crane and Michael DiMella during a live LinkedIn event hosted by Chris Arnold. Here's why the term "centralization" is misapplied and what we should focus on instead. Centralization, by definition, is about command and control, concentrating decision-making power in the hands of a few. This is far from what we're aiming for in the multifamily space. What we're really discussing is organizational design. This involves optimizing roles, responsibilities, and processes, often utilizing technology to enhance efficiency. Revenue management systems like LRO exemplify this shift. While some argue for guardrails, the essence is in how these systems distribute labor and manage tasks—often through AI. Imagine AI not just assigning tasks but dynamically orchestrating every move based on real-time data. This isn't just futuristic; it's happening now. The key takeaway? Let's redefine our vocabulary. Move away from "centralization" and embrace "organizational design." This shift in terminology aligns better with our goals and helps us communicate more effectively within our industry.

The Space Show Summer Series: Lunar Science In the Artemis Era — Episode 42 The Space Show podcast is on its annual summer hiatus for six weeks. In its place, we are pleased to present our Summer Series: Lunar Science In the Artemis Era. This episode features the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), cosmic rays, Diviner, and the future of the LRO with: * Harlan Spence * Rebecca Ghent * Noah Petro. Lunar Science In the Artemis Era is a series which focuses attention on the science to be done at the Moon by both robotic missions and the crewed Artemis missions. These programs are based on a series of NASA workshops held during 2020, 2021 and 2022 in which the scientific knowledge gaps that need to be filled to achieve the Artemis human missions to the Moon, and the scientific investigations that scientists desire to be done both on the Moon and in the vicinity of the Moon, were discussed. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the participants were talking from their homes and offices, and so the audio quality varies considerably. Some relevant talks were not included because the audio was so dreadful as to make them unlistenable.

I denne episode af RumSnak skal vi se nærmere på kort – mere specifikt topografiske kort over Månen. Man kender jo nok godt det her med at man kigger på et kort, hvis man skal hen et sted man ikke har været før – så man ved hvordan man finder derhen, og hvordan man orienterer sig når man skal gå omkring. Sådan er det også med Månen – problemet er bare at de eksisterende kort ikke er særligt præcise, og de kræver også meget regnekraft at lave. Nu er det dog lykkedes at lave nye matematiske behandlinger af både billeder og laser-målinger, som giver meget bedre Månekort, og som oven i købet kræver meget mindre computerkraft. Det fortæller gæsteforsker Iris Fernandes fra Niels Bohr Institutet. Udover Månekort har vi masser af korte nyheder, og vi fortæller også om vores næste live-optagelse, der finder sted i Rundetårn den 11.11. God fornøjelse

In this episode of the Budget Overland Podcast, Benji has a great conversation with our overlanding friend Erick Huertas, who is passing through on a cross country trip. Erick Huertas spent most of his childhood in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. Growing up in a low-income household, he developed a passion for the arts as a form of expression early on. Upon graduating High School, Erick enlisted in the United States Navy as a member of the esteemed Hospital Corps. As he began to travel the world as a young adult, he turned to photography to document his memories and the places he had traveled. While working as a healthcare worker in the fight against COVID, he purchased a Land Rover LR3 as a ‘fixer-upper.' In the summer of 2021. He embarked on the famous Trans-American Trail, a 5,000-mile dirt road trail from Cape Hatteras, NC to the Oregon Dunes. Erick spent 86 Days on the road and traveled across 33 states and 13,000 miles during his westward journey. Documenting his journey in a handwritten journal and taking photos on his iPhone, he will be featured in “Land Rover Owner International” in February 2022. Erick's moderate success through his trail encouraged him to take photography more seriously. Erick soon purchased a camera and enrolled in The University of Washington's Professional Photography Certificate. Through the Guru Shots Photo Competitions, he has been featured in 11 exhibitions and three magazines. Currently, he writes for LRO and “Rover Depot” documenting his expeditions. Erick also shoots stock photography for Alamy and iStock, a subsidiary of Getty Images. Erick hopes to blend his passions of Photography and writing with his passion for medicine as he aspires to work for Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). In addition to being a student of Photography and Nursing, he studies French, German and Arabic. Erick has a strong belief that language and art are some of the best ways in connecting across different cultures.

Episodio espacial dedicado a la basura espacial, un problema que tiende a agravarse cada día ACTUALIDAD Un tema de especial relevancia Nuevas megaconstelaciones de satélites De 4500 satélites activos en órbita, 1800 son de SpaceX Y pidieron permiso para lanzar 42.000 El operador de satélites más grande en la órbita baja terrestre Starlink ahora mismo implicados en 50% de las alertas de colisión (‘encuentros cercanos'), cuando estén desplegados los primeros 12k, subirá al 90% Las megaconstelaciones cambian un poco el juego. Muchísimos satélites en órbita. Son un riesgo en sí mismos Tienen 1700 avisos a la semana Tienen un sistema autónomo para CAMs Cada maniobra invalida los TLEs de Celestrak. Dificulta el control para otros operadores La NASA expresa su preocupación por el plan de despliegue de satélites de SpaceX por primera vez A la NASA le preocupa el potencial de un aumento significativo en la frecuencia de los eventos de conjunción y los posibles impactos en las misiones científicas y de vuelos espaciales tripulados de la NASA China denuncia ante la ONU que su estación espacial ha tenido que esquivar dos satélites de SpaceX China alega que los satélites Starlink se están volviendo demasiado abundantes e impredecibles en órbita, y quiere asegurarse de que Estados Unidos sepa que es responsable de cualquier daño que causen Pidió al secretario general que recordara a sus socios el Tratado del Espacio Ultraterrestre No está claro si el segundo de Starlink maniobró La delegación china afirma que un satélite Starlink se movía constantemente de manera impredecible ¿Un nuevo escenario de conflicto sinoestadounidense? China ha realizado una prueba que parece ser de retirada de residuos: El satélite Shijian 21, lanzado el 24 de octubre de 2021 desde Xichang en un Larga Marcha CZ-3B/G2 Experimental para validar tecnologías de retirada de basura espacial Se fue a GEO El 01/11 el Pentágono dijo que soltó un subsatélite. ¿Motor de apogeo? Realizaron varias maniobras de acercarse y alejarse Hace poco ExoAnalytic Solutions lo estuvo siguiendo con telescopios desde tierra. Se alejó del subsatélite, se acercó al Beidou-2 G2 (de posicionamiento [China tiene satélites de este sistema en GEO inclinadas]) Se fue acercando, y lo capturó. Luego, se lo llevó casi 3000 km por encima de GEO, a una órbita cementerio (y hacia el oeste de donde estaba). ¿Brazo robot? ¿En la tobera como el MEV-1? ¿Una red? No se sabe. China no dice nada. Este secretismo no les ayuda. Pero, de momento, está clara que su misión declarada es lo que era. Han retirado un satélite no funcional de una zona protegida. Es un logro notable. HISTORIA Un poco de Historia La humanidad ha generado basura espacial desde el principio El satélite más antiguo todavía en órbita es el Vanguard I, lanzado el 17 Marzo 1958, y se espera que dure 240 años (se usó y se usa para estudios de densidad atmosférica) Las últimas etapas de los cohetes se quedaban en órbita. Hay muchísimas todavía Eventos más famosos generadores de basura espacial: El proyecto West Ford (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_West_Ford?wprov=sfti1) Esto es "genial". Una prueba de las locuras de la guerra fría En esa época las comunicaciones iban por cables submarinos o rebotando en la ionosfera. ¿Y si los soviéticos cortaban los cables? ¿Era la ionosfera suficientemente confiable? El plan era, atención, lanzar 480 millones de agujas de cobre, muy finas, de 1'78 cm (la mitad de la longitud de onda de la señal de 8GHz) Se lanzaron en tres ocasiones a alturas de más de 3000 km y a 96º y 87º de inclinación (casi polares) En la primera prueba, las antenas no se dispersaban, quedando todas juntas Se abandonó cuando aparecieron mejores soluciones, como los satélites de comunicaciones El embajador USA ante la ONU justificó que perturbaciones como la presión de radiación solar las harían reentrar en pocos años Pero no, algunos de los montones que no se desplegaron siguen arriba 11 de enero de 2007. Prueba antisatélite china (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Chinese_anti-satellite_missile_test?wprov=sfti1). 865 km de altura. Satélite FY-1C, de la serie Fengyun Destruido en un choque frontal con un impactador cinético. El último test anti satélite había sido en 1985 (un misil lanzado desde un F-15 estadounidense) Se detectaron casi 3500 trozos Se calcula que alrededor del 30% seguirán en órbita para el 2035 20 de febrero de 2008. Prueba antisatélite estadounidense (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Burnt_Frost?wprov=sfti1) Un satélite de la NRO, el USA-193 Se justificó diciendo que llevaba hidracina muy tóxica y que se había perdido el control Se lanzó desde un barco Había un vuelo de la lanzadera espacial programado, así que esperaron a que aterrizara También lo querían muy bajo para minimizar el debris, pero no mucho, al no ser un cuerpo aerodinámico, lo que complicaría las cosas Ventana de ocho días Una altura de unos 250 km Se detectaron 174 piezas, que re-entraron en pocos meses. Dos duraron algo más. La última re-entró 20 meses después Siempre negaron que fuera respuesta a la prueba china. Febrero de 2009: El choque entre un satélite Iridium (operacional) y uno ruso Kosmos 2251 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_satellite_collision?wprov=sfti1). Primer choque entre dos satélites (aunque antes ya habían chocado satélites con debris). Altura de 789 km. Chocaron a 11,700 m/s de forma casi perpendicular Los cálculos realizados por CelesTrak esperaban que estos dos satélites fallaran en 584 metros. 10 días después se estimaron unos 1000 piezas de más de 10 cm (muchas más de tamaño menor). Un año después eran alrededor de 2000. 5 años después, 1500 seguían en órbita (otras habían reentrado) Restos de esta colisión pasaron cerca de la ISS (un trozo pasó a 120 m. La tripulación estaba en las Soyuz) Misión Shakti. 27 marzo de 2019. La India hace su prueba anti satélite (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Shakti?wprov=sfti1). El objetivo era un satélite de prueba a 283 km Otro impactador cinético Supuestamente, empezaron activamente tras la prueba China Eligieron una órbita baja para minimizar los debris que se generaban Más o menos, en unos meses la mayoría habían reentrado. Los que llegaron más altos tardaron uno o dos años La prueba rusa del 2021. Hablamos de ella en el primer episodio y a ese episodio nos remitimos EL PROBLEMA YA NO ES QUE SE LANCE, SINO QUE NO SE RETIRE Algunas de las altitudes más congestionadas en la órbita terrestre baja son las que van de 750 a 850 kilómetros, un cementerio de satélites rusos, chinos y estadounidenses que han ido abandonándose a lo largo de las décadas. Algunos cuerpos de cohetes que orbitan la Tierra son enormes y pesan alrededor de 9 toneladas, como autobuses Otra altitud problemática es entre 1400 y 1500 kilómetros, donde no hay suficiente resistencia atmosférica para hacerlos frenar. A 500 o 600 kilómetros, el arrastre de la atmósfera derriba los escombros en máx. 10 a 20 años. “A 1400 kilómetros, estará allí durante siglos” El Comando Espacial de EE.UU. actualmente rastrea alrededor de 35000 objetos de escombros, el 70% de los cuales están en órbita terrestre baja. LeoLabs rastrea objetos del tamaño de una pelota de béisbol y más grandes. McKnight dijo que hay entre 500000 y 900000 artículos más pequeños que actualmente no se rastrean y "cruzamos los dedos y esperamos que no nos golpeen". ALERTAS DE COLISIÓN El NORAD empezó a crear bases de datos recopilando lo que hay en el espacio desde el Sputnik ¿En qué consisten estas bases de datos? La información se almacena en lo que se conoce como Two line elements – el sistema clásico de parámetros orbitales Da información de la órbita y su evolución futura Son relativamente precisas para un cierto espacio de tiempo (días / semanas)… …dejan de valer si un satélite maniobra. Celestrak. Probablemente la principal base de datos a día de hoy Hay varias instituciones a día de hoy trabajando en generar alertas de colisiones CSpOC (Combined Space Operations Center en la Vandenberg Space Force Base). Desde 2005, antes se llamaba JSpOC (Joint Space Operations Center), se cambió el nombre en 2018). Hay empresas privadas, como LeoLabs. Muy críticos últimamente con todo el tema de la basura espacial. Después de analizar la probabilidad de colisiones en la órbita terrestre baja y las consecuencias en términos de desechos producidos, la startup de mapeo espacial LeoLabs advierte a los operadores de naves espaciales que se mantengan alejados de ciertas altitudes. "No compre condominios en el rango de 780 a 850 kilómetros", dijo Darren McKnight, miembro técnico senior de LeoLabs, el 6 de enero durante un webcast del Centro de Investigación y Política Espacial de la Universidad de Washington. Esa altitud alberga escombros de un evento ASAT chino, cuerpos de cohetes rusos abandonados y cargas útiles y escombros estadounidenses descartados. PD McKnight también advirtió sobre problemas a 1.400 kilómetros, donde los escombros se acumulan durante siglos. Aparte de decir de forma clara y casi brusca que opina que los USA van muy por detrás del resto en misión de contención de basura espacial. El radar S3TSR (Spanish Space Surveillance and Tracking Space Radar) está situado en la Base Aérea de Morón (Sevilla) y su operación y sostenimiento es responsabilidad del COVE (Centro de Operaciones de Vigilancia Espacial del Ejército del Aire), centro a través del cual España participa en el consorcio EU-SST. El primero de Europa en detectar los restos del satélite ruso Tselina-D tras su destrucción Maniobras para evitar la colisión: Primero se estudia el aviso (suele llegar del CSpOC). Se analiza (determina) mejor la órbita de los dos objetos. Se analiza la probabilidad. Se decide si se maniobra Cambio de órbita Cambio de periodo Consideraciones operacionales (impacto en el combustible y en la misión del satélite) MITIGACIÓN Qué se puede hacer antes, para evitar ser un debris Planificar el final de la vida: Motores, tethers, elementos de añadir resistencia Hay varias estrategias, en función de la órbita Reentrada Órbitas cementerio Para ayudar en Active Debris Removal (ADR): Marcadores, luces, pegatinas, enganches, sistemas de reducción del giro (los satélites muertos giran sin control, en general) Técnicas de retirada activa de basura espacial: Contacto Hay técnicas de tirar (son técnicas que no necesitan una sincronización muy compleja, es decir, el «detumbling» puede hacerse con el propio agarre), y técnicas de empujar (técnicas con una sincronización rígida). Tirar (laxos) Las redes con cable Los arpones con cable Un sistema de agarre con cable Empujar (sincronizados) Brazos robot (con o sin sistemas de amortiguamiento) Tentáculos. Sirven para casos en los que haya cierta incertidumbre en el cuerpo a capturar Sin contacto «Pastoreo» con impulsión iónica (los motores se ponen contra el debris — necesita motores al otro lado para compensar) Tractores electrostáticos Láser (mediante transferencia de impulso, o mediante ablación en el debris) Kits de desorbitación. Por ejemplo, con cohetes de combustible sólido, o con kits desplegables, como con cables, o superficies que incrementen la resistencia. Normalmente antes de capturarlos hay que cancelar su giro. Suelen estar girando sin control. Hay varias técnicas también, muchas relacionadas con los métodos anteriores. NORMATIVA Normativa. Vimos hace poco que Kamala Harris creó un marco de prioridades espaciales para Estados Unidos que incluye eliminación de desechos orbitales, pero no es más que una primera piedra Estados Unidos líder en lanzamientos espaciales, muy retrasada en la retirada de basura ¿Cómo se regula este tema? La normativa es muy escasa. No hay realmente nada a nivel internacional que obligue a tratar con el tema. Algunos países lanzadores pueden tener normativa, de forma que sólo lancen objetos que cumplan ciertas características (porque según los tratados en vigor, el estado lanzador es responsable de los daños que provoquen los objetos que lancen). Aparte de los tratados como el Tratado del Espacio Ultraterrestre, hay recomendaciones, que no obligaciones, como las Guías para la Mitigación de la Basura Espacial, del COPUOS, Comité para el Uso Pacífico del Espacio Ultraterrestre, u otra del mismo nombre del INTER-AGENCY SPACE DEBRIS COORDINATION COMMITTEE La Space systems — Space debris mitigation requirements - ISO 24113:2019, que es voluntaria) Locales. Las ECSS, por ejemplo Dos zonas de especial protección: LEO y GEO. Técnicas: reentradas u órbitas cementerio 25 años máximo en órbita Reentrada controlada si la probabilidad de bajas es mayor a 10e-4 EMPRESAS ¿Qué se está haciendo en este campo? Interés privado: DeorbitKit, RemoveDebris, AstroScale... Detección: LeoLabs, Privateer AstroScale tiene una misión ahora mismo haciendo pruebas, aunque han tenido que detenerlo recientemente por tener un problema Surrey también ha realizado pruebas en órbita Interés público: eDeorbit, Andorid, Clean Space (proyecto ESA, empresa privada suiza), prueba de retirar un adaptador de cohete. GEO: prolongación de la vida (dos misiones ya, las MEV de Northrop-Grumman) El problema es intentar controlar el número de objetos en órbita y, sobre todo, su riesgo. El objetivo hace unos años era retirar cosas grandes (ENVISAT y etapas de lanzadores. Básicamente, que no aumente el problema). Para mantener la situación bajo control se estima que el 90-99% debería desorbitar, lo cual excede las cifras actuales. La Space Force quiere colaborar con empresas privadas. Ha mostrado interés, pero de momento habla poco de financiación. El brazo tecnológico de la Fuerza Espacial conocido como SpaceWERX lanzó un programa llamado Orbital Prime que solicita propuestas de empresas privadas e instituciones académicas sobre tecnologías para eliminar desechos espaciales Los equipos pueden ganar premios en la Fase 1 de $250,000 y premios en la Fase 2 de $1.5 millones. Si se selecciona alguno para una demostración en el espacio, el gobierno financiará una parte del coste. INCLUSO EN LA LUNA Por terminar el tema, comentar que aunque el problema es básicamente terrestre, tenemos que tener cuidado en no «exportarlo» a otros cuerpos. Por ejemplo, recientemente (finales del año 2021), dos sondas lunares tuvieron una alerta. Chandrayaan-2 de la India realizó una maniobra el 18 de octubre para evitar un acercamiento con Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter de la NASA Chandrayaan-2 realizó una maniobra dos días antes de la conjunción prevista para el 20 de octubre después de que los datos orbitales mostraran que las dos naves espaciales se acercarían a tres kilómetros entre sí. el anuncio pasó desapercibido porque se emitió el mismo día que ocurrió la prueba de misil antisatélite ruso Tanto la NASA como la agencia espacial india ISRO dijeron que se coordinaron entre sí en la maniobra, pero no revelaron cómo decidieron que Chandrayaan-2, en lugar de LRO, debería ser el que maniobre. Chandrayaan-2 entró en órbita lunar en agosto de 2019 y, en ese momento, los funcionarios de ISRO dijeron que la nave espacial tendría suficiente propulsor para operar durante siete años y medio. LRO, por el contrario, ha estado en órbita lunar desde 2009, la NASA dijo el año pasado que tenía suficiente combustible a bordo para al menos seis años más de operaciones. A finales de enero saltó la noticia de que un viejo cohete de SpaceX iba camino de estrellarse contra la Luna. Resulta que los astrónomos estaban equivocados. Sí, un cohete va a impactar de manera descontrolada en la superficie del satélite el 4 de marzo, pero no es la segunda etapa de un Falcon 9, sino el propulsor de un cohete Larga Marcha 3C que se usó en la misión china Chang'e 5-T1 en 2014. ¿PRÓXIMAMENTE MARTE? En marzo, la NASA confirmó que estaba intercambiando datos con la agencia espacial china sobre las órbitas de sus naves que orbitan Marte después de algunas frustraciones iniciales por la falta de datos sobre la órbita de Tianwen-1.

众所周知，地球上的海洋潮汐是由月球的引力是引起的。但与此同时，地球将月球保持在轨道上的引力却对这颗岩石卫星造成了更为严重的影响-月球的表面正在被地球引力撕裂，背面情况更加严重。NASA的科学家们已经发现了3200多个裂缝-每个裂缝达数英里长，几十英尺深-纵横遍布月球表面。这些裂缝认为是月球在以星球尺度的地核冷却收缩中形成的，对这些断层进行结果分析，发现更多是由于地球潮汐引力的作用产生的。 位于在华盛顿的史密森国家航空航天博物馆的资深科学家托马斯·沃特斯博士说：“数千个断层方向存在有固定的模式。”“这表明，存在某种足以作用于整个月球范围的力正在影响断层的形成，而这股力能够调整影响断层的形成方向。”科学家们首次注意到这些被称为叶状陡坡的断层是在2010年，美国宇航局的月球勘测轨道飞行器(LRO)的航天器在月球表面发现了这些断层。 他们最初认为是冷却的液态内核的造成了月球表面的裂缝。理论上会产生没有特别纹路的逆冲断层。然而，航天器在近四分之三的月球表面拍摄的高清晰度图像分析表明出现了3000多种地理特性。研究人员发现断层似乎存有特定方位，这表明它们是在其他力量的影响下形成的。他们认为，月球在其椭圆形轨道绕地球运动存在的不均匀引力就足以在表面造成个异性。沃特斯博士说，月球上的潮汐力与内部冷却的内核收缩力叠加后产生的合应力是那些裂缝存在特异性的原因。 断层是月球表面最常见的地理构造。月球勘测轨道飞行器的相机传回的图像显示了维泰洛群的地质特征，中间凹陷下去，周围上升。 这些断层都非常年轻，仍然保持着继续形成的趋势-月球地理构造最常见的方式。大多数只有6.2英里(10公里)长，高度只有几十码。地质研究人员说发现，月球上的应力在离地球最远时达到其峰值。如果断层处于活动状态，与地层滑动相关的浅层月震的发生可以在断层处检测到。亚利桑那州立大学的研究员马克·罗宾逊博士，他是月球勘测轨道飞行器的首席研究员，同时也是这项研究的参与者，他认为：“这么多以前未被发现的构造特征的揭示，证明了我们的月球勘测轨道飞行器的高分辨率图像的发展时至关重要的。”“先前我们就怀疑潮汐力在构造地理特征方面起到了重要的作用，但我们没有足够的研究资料佐证。”“现在，我们的窄角相机为我们拍摄了月球明亮面的照片，月球地理的结构模式逐渐会成为研究重点。”2009年6月启用的LRO(月球勘测轨道飞行器)通过装置的七大重要仪器为研究采集了诸多珍贵的数据。美国航空航天局戈达德太空飞行中心的月球勘测轨道飞行器项目的科学家约翰·凯利认为：“随着月球勘测轨道飞行器采集数据的积累，我们已经能够对整个月球范围进行，先前我们对除地球以外的其他星球知之甚少，而现在，LRO数据采集工作使我们能够梳理出很多隐藏的地理特性。”叶形逆冲断层在月球表面形成阶梯状的的断崖，如上图所示。它们最初被认为是由于月球内部的冷却引起的收缩造成的，但新的研究结果显示，地球引力也起到了重要的作用。

The vehicle, known as Starship SN8 ("Serial No. 8"), was scheduled to launch on an 8-mile-high (12.5 kilometers) test flight today (Dec. 8) from SpaceX's South Texas facility, near the Gulf Coast village of Boca Chica. And it nearly happened. But less than 2 seconds before liftoff, just after 5:30 p.m. EDT (2230 GMT and 4:30 p.m. local Texas time), SN8 detected something abnormal with one or more of its three Raptor engines and automatically aborted the flight. It's unclear at the moment when SN8 will get its next chance to fly; that depends on what caused the abort and how difficult it will be to fix. But there are launch windows available on both Wednesday and Thursday (Dec. 9 and Dec. 10), SpaceX representatives said. NASA's spacecraft spots China's Chang'e 5 lander on the moon Link: https://www.space.com/change-5-moon-lander-photo-lunar-reconnaissance-orbiter NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured an image of China's Chang'e 5 lander on the moon just hours after its historic landing. The Chang'e 5 lander set down on the lunar surface last Tuesday, Dec. 1. Thanks to China's prompt release of the stunning Chang'e 5 landing video, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) team were able to locate the roughly 4-ton spacecraft in Oceanus Procellarum, the "Ocean of Storms," and prepare for when LRO would pass overhead the next day. The image shows the Chang'e 5 lander in the center of three craters. Automated systems had helped the spacecraft avoid these hazards to land safely. The image was taken before the Chang'e 5 ascent vehicle blasted off from the surface with the collected samples. The ascent vehicle has since performed a spectacular rendezvous and docking with the Chang'e 5 orbiter and handed over the samples. Chang'e 5 will begin its journey to Earth later this week. Chuck Yeager, 1st pilot to break the sound barrier, is dead at 97 Link: https://www.space.com/chuck-yeager-first-pilot-to-break-sound-barrier-dead Chuck Yeager, the U.S. Air Force Pilot who became the first person to break the sound barrier, died Monday (Dec. 7) at the age of 97. Yeager's wife, Victoria, shared the news on Twitter, writing: "It is w/ profound sorrow, I must tell you that my life love General Chuck Yeager passed just before 9pm ET. An incredible life well lived, America's greatest Pilot, & a legacy of strength, adventure, & patriotism will be remembered forever." Yeager became the first person to break the sound barrier on Oct. 14, 1947, while flying the Bell X-1 rocket plane 45,000 feet (13,700 meters) over the Rogers Dry Lake in the Mojave Desert. During the flight, Yeager reached Mach 1.05, or 1.05 times the speed of sound. The aircraft, which he dubbed Glamorous Glennis after his first wife Glennis Yeager, who died in 1990. The Bell X-1 now hangs on display in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington. Yeager would go on to fly even faster aircraft, including the Lockheed XF-104, which flew more than twice the speed of sound. His daring test flights were featured in Tom Wolfe's 1979 book "The Right Stuff" as well as the film adaptation and new Disney Plus series by the same name. EXPLAINER: What has Japanese space mission accomplished? Link: https://apnews.com/article/japan-space-mission-accomplish-explained-88e9a90bca3971bfe864aa94c01de7d4 A small capsule containing asteroid soil samples that was dropped from 136,700 miles (220,000 kilometers) in space by Japan's Hayabusa2 spacecraft landed as planned in the Australian Outback on Sunday. After a preliminary inspection, it will be flown to Japan for research. The extremely high precision required to carry out the mission thrilled many in Japan, who said they took pride in its success. The project's manager, Yuichi Tsuda of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, called the capsule a “treasure box.” Launched on Dec. 3, 2014, the unmanned Hayabusa2 spacecraft touched down twice on the asteroid Ryugu, more than 300 million kilometers (190 million miles) away from Earth. The asteroid's extremely rocky surface forced the mission's team to revise landing plans, but the spacecraft successfully collected data and soil samples during the 1½ years it spent near Ryugu after arriving there in June 2018. The pan-shaped capsule, about 40 centimeters (15 inches) in diameter, contains soil samples taken from two different sites on the asteroid. Some gases might also be embedded in the samples. The preliminary inspection at a lab in Australia was to extract and analyze the gas. The capsule is due to return to Japan on Tuesday. It will be taken to JAXA's research center in Sagamihara, near Tokyo. Scientists say the samples, especially ones taken from under the asteroid's surface, contain data from 4.6 billion years ago unaffected by space radiation and other environmental factors. They are particularly interested in studying organic materials in the samples to learn about how they are distributed in the solar system and if or how they are related to life on Earth. WHAT'S NEXT? About an hour after separating from the capsule at 220,000 kilometers (136,700 miles) from Earth, Hayabusa2 was sent on another mission to the smaller asteroid, 1998KY26. That is an 11-year journey one-way. The mission is to study possible ways to prevent big meteorites from colliding with Earth.

The vehicle, known as Starship SN8 ("Serial No. 8"), was scheduled to launch on an 8-mile-high (12.5 kilometers) test flight today (Dec. 8) from SpaceX's South Texas facility, near the Gulf Coast village of Boca Chica. And it nearly happened. But less than 2 seconds before liftoff, just after 5:30 p.m. EDT (2230 GMT and 4:30 p.m. local Texas time), SN8 detected something abnormal with one or more of its three Raptor engines and automatically aborted the flight. It's unclear at the moment when SN8 will get its next chance to fly; that depends on what caused the abort and how difficult it will be to fix. But there are launch windows available on both Wednesday and Thursday (Dec. 9 and Dec. 10), SpaceX representatives said. NASA's spacecraft spots China's Chang'e 5 lander on the moon Link: https://www.space.com/change-5-moon-lander-photo-lunar-reconnaissance-orbiter NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured an image of China's Chang'e 5 lander on the moon just hours after its historic landing. The Chang'e 5 lander set down on the lunar surface last Tuesday, Dec. 1. Thanks to China's prompt release of the stunning Chang'e 5 landing video, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) team were able to locate the roughly 4-ton spacecraft in Oceanus Procellarum, the "Ocean of Storms," and prepare for when LRO would pass overhead the next day. The image shows the Chang'e 5 lander in the center of three craters. Automated systems had helped the spacecraft avoid these hazards to land safely. The image was taken before the Chang'e 5 ascent vehicle blasted off from the surface with the collected samples. The ascent vehicle has since performed a spectacular rendezvous and docking with the Chang'e 5 orbiter and handed over the samples. Chang'e 5 will begin its journey to Earth later this week. Chuck Yeager, 1st pilot to break the sound barrier, is dead at 97 Link: https://www.space.com/chuck-yeager-first-pilot-to-break-sound-barrier-dead Chuck Yeager, the U.S. Air Force Pilot who became the first person to break the sound barrier, died Monday (Dec. 7) at the age of 97. Yeager's wife, Victoria, shared the news on Twitter, writing: "It is w/ profound sorrow, I must tell you that my life love General Chuck Yeager passed just before 9pm ET. An incredible life well lived, America's greatest Pilot, & a legacy of strength, adventure, & patriotism will be remembered forever." Yeager became the first person to break the sound barrier on Oct. 14, 1947, while flying the Bell X-1 rocket plane 45,000 feet (13,700 meters) over the Rogers Dry Lake in the Mojave Desert. During the flight, Yeager reached Mach 1.05, or 1.05 times the speed of sound. The aircraft, which he dubbed Glamorous Glennis after his first wife Glennis Yeager, who died in 1990.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.22.262956v1?rss=1 Authors: Le, H. H., Wrobel, C. J., Cohen, S. M., Yu, J., Park, H., Helf, M. J., Curtis, B. J., Rodrigues, P. R., Sternberg, P. W., Schroeder, F. C. Abstract: Signaling molecules derived from attachment of diverse primary metabolic building blocks to ascarosides play a central role in the life history of C. elegans and other nematodes; however, many aspects of their biogenesis remain unclear. Using comparative metabolomics, we show that lysosome-related organelles (LROs) are required for biosynthesis of most modular ascarosides as well as previously undescribed modular glucosides. Both modular glucosides and ascarosides are derived from highly selective assembly of moieties from nucleoside, amino acid, neurotransmitter, and lipid metabolism. We further show that cholinesterase (cest) homologs that localize to the LROs are required for assembly of both modular ascarosides and glucosides, mediating formation of ester and amide linkages between subsets of building blocks. Their specific biosynthesis suggests that modular glucosides, like ascarosides, serve dedicated signaling functions. Further exploration of LRO function and cest homologs in C. elegans and other animals may reveal additional new compound families and signaling paradigms. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Dr Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the journal and it's editors. I'm Dr Carolyn Lam, Associate Editor from the National Heart center and Duke National University of Singapore. Dr Greg Hundley: And I'm associate editor, Dr Greg Hundley, from VCU Health, the Pauley Heart Center, in Richmond, Virginia. Well Carolyn, our feature discussion, are results from the Odyssey study and they're presented by Professor Wouter Jukema from Leiden University Medical Center, regarding the relationship between ultra-low LDL levels in both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. The study really seeks to answer the question related to concerns that ultra-low LDL levels, less than 15 milligrams per deciliter, in patients treated for ischemic heart disease could increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke, but more to come on that intriguing question. Carolyn, how about your first paper? Dr Carolyn Lam: It's from doctors Condorelli and Kallikourdis from Humanitas Clinical and Research Center and Institute of Genetic and Biomedical Research respectively in Rozzano Milan in Italy. Now, these authors used single cell RNA sequencing to map the cardiac immune composition in the standard Murine non ischemic pressure overload heart failure model. They then integrated their findings using multi parameter flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and tissue clarification immunofluorescence in both the mouse and the human. And they found that despite the absence of infectious agents or an autoimmune trigger, induction of disease led to immune activation that involved far more cell types than previously thought. And that included neutrophils, B cells, natural killer cells, and mast cells. And this really opens up the field of cardio immunology to further investigation using toolkits that have already been developed to study these immune subsets. Dr Greg Hundley: Ah, so Carolyn, do they have any specific examples? Dr Carolyn Lam: Hmm, indeed they did. They found that activation lead to up regulation of key subset specific molecules such as pro inflammatory cytokine onco statin M in pro-inflammatory macrophages, and PD1 in T regulatory cells. Now these are significant because they may help to explain clinical findings such as the refractivity of heart failure patients to anti TNF therapy and cardio toxicity during anti PD1 cancer immunotherapy respectively, for the more these subset specific molecules may become useful targets for the diagnosis or therapy of heart failure. Dr Greg Hundley: Oh, beautiful. Well Carolyn, my next article is from Ambarish Pandey from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and it's entitled Incorporation of Biomarkers into Risk Assessment for Allocation of any Hypertensive Medication, According to the 2017 ACC, AHA High Blood Pressure Guidelines, a Pooled Cohort Analysis. Dr Carolyn Lam: So I suppose asking does consideration of troponin or BNP inform cardiovascular risk in those with hypertension? Dr Greg Hundley: Great question Carolyn. So in this study, the authors included participant level data from 12,987 participants across three cohort studies, ERIC, the Dallas Heart Study and MESA. And they were pooled excluding individuals with prevalent cardiovascular disease and those taking antihypertension medications at baseline. Participants were analyzed according to blood pressure treatment group from the 2017 ACC AHA Blood Pressure Guideline and those with high blood pressure, 120 to 159 millimeters of mercury, were further stratified by biomarker status. Dr Carolyn Lam: Okay. So what did they find Greg? Dr Greg Hundley: Participants with elevated blood pressure or hypertension, not recommended for any hypertensive medication with versus without either elevated high sensitivity, cardiac troponin T or N terminal pro BNP, had a 10-year cardiovascular incidence rate of 11% and 4.6%, with a 10-year number needed to treat to prevent one event for intensive blood pressure lowering of 36 and 85 individuals respectively. In addition, among participants with stage one or stage two hypertension recommended for antihypertensive medication with a blood pressure less than 160 over a hundred millimeters of mercury, those with versus without an elevated biomarker had a 10-year cardiovascular incidence rate of 15.1% and 7.9% with a 10-year number needed to treat, to prevent one event of 26 individuals and 49 individuals respectively. Dr Carolyn Lam: Wow, Greg, those are impressive numbers. So does this mean we should be checking biomarkers in everyone? Dr Greg Hundley: Great question again Carolyn. These results suggest that a biomarker based approach to cardiovascular risk assessment may help identify high risk individuals with elevated blood pressure or stage one hypertension who are currently not recommended for any hypertensive medication, according to the 2017 ACC AHA Blood Pressure Guideline, but who may benefit from blood pressure lowering therapy. And it seems the more we research blood pressure measures, the more we learn regarding individualizing targets for blood pressure lowering. Dr Carolyn Lam: Very interesting Greg. Thanks. So my next paper sought to understand to what extent do drug costs, which are potentially actionable factors, contribute to medication non-adherence? A very interesting and relevant question, and this is from Dr Nasir from Yale New Haven Health System and colleagues who identified more than 14,000 US adults with a reported history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the national health interview survey from 2013 to 2017. Now participants were considered to have experienced cost related non-adherence if in the preceding 12 months they reported either skipping doses to save money or taking less medication to save money or delaying filling a prescription to save money. And they used survey analysis to obtain national estimates. Dr Greg Hundley: Okay, Carolyn. So what did they find? Dr Carolyn Lam: Listen to this. So they found that one in eight patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease reported non-adherence with medications due to cost, representing nearly 1.5 million estimated patients missing doses, 1.6 million taking lower than prescribed doses and 1.9 million intentionally delaying a medication fill to save costs, all in the United States. Patients less than 65 years of age, had a three fold higher rate of medication noncompliance due to cost, with significantly higher rates in women and among patients from low income families and those without health insurance. Now the take home message I think is that the removal of financial barriers to accessing medications, particularly among vulnerable patient groups, may help improve adherence to essential therapies to reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, morbidity and mortality. Dr Greg Hundley: Great paper, Carolyn. We've got a couple other articles in this issue. Let's just run through so our listeners get a synopsis. So Dr Javed Butler from University of Mississippi Medical Center has a nice white paper regarding heart failure endpoints in cardiovascular outcome trials of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with type two diabetes. Dr Brahmajee Nallamothu in a perspective piece, discusses issues related to the legal prosecution of stent cases and the 70/30 rule. Remember Carolyn, the 70/30 rule, the operator may say a stenosis is 70% of an intracoronary luminal narrowing, but in review, others seem to think it's less than 30% and often these cases are prosecuted for performing coronary artery interventions on these lesions, but what Dr Nallamothu argues is perhaps, these definitions are really related to how that stenosis was measured. Are you taking approximately dilated segment or a distantly dilating segment as your reference point? Really interesting perspective piece. The next article is from Dr Prateeti Khazanie at the University of Colorado in Denver and provides an on my mind piece with Dr Mark Drazner regarding ethical issues that arise during cardiac transplant allocation process. They review some of the pitfalls associated with current physician subjective assessments used for heart transplants in the United States. Dr Neil Kay presents another EKG challenge related to T, a new wave alternans and consumption of alcohol in association with combinations of antiarrhythmic drugs. Dr Dipan Shah from Houston Methodist provides new data in a letter, a research letter, regarding the association of extracellular volume fraction and MRI measure of interstitial fibrosis in the setting of chronic mitral regurgitation. And finally, Carolyn, Dr Nirvik Pal and colleagues write a letter referring to an earlier publication related to LVAD adverse outcomes and cardiac transplantation. Well, shall we move on to that feature discussion? Dr Carolyn Lam: Yeah, let's do that, Greg. Dr Greg Hundley: Welcome everyone to our feature discussion and we're very excited today to have Dr Wouter Jukema from Leiden University Medical Center who's going to tell us about the utility of PCSK9 inhibitors on the impact of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. A large study that comes from the Odyssey study. Welter, we are so glad that you're with us this morning, afternoon, evening, wherever you may be in the world. Could you tell us, what were the thoughts behind putting this study together? Dr Wouter Jukema: As we all know that patients with acute coronary syndromes, ACS, are at an increased risk for a subsequent stroke. And we also do know that lowering of atherogenic lipoproteins, including LDL cholesterol of course, reduces the risk of ischemic stroke in chronic atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or recent ACS. However, concerns have been raised about very low LDL cholesterol levels and the potential risk and increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke. So the effect of lipid lowering by PCSK9 inhibition, both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke is actually not fully determined. So what we therefore did to better investigate this is that in the obviously outcomes trial, the main publication was of course in New England Journal of Medicine already, we did a pre-specified analysis. We was designed to assess the effect of LRO come up on the ischemic as well as on the hemorrhagic stroke in patients with a recent ACS in obviously outcomes, all patients had a recent ACS and we have hypothesized that for patients treated with LRO come up that would be one, A, a reduction in risk of ischemic stroke, B, without an increase in hemorrhagic stroke. And we also hypothesize that the results would be irrespective of baseline LDL cholesterol and the history of cerebral vascular disease. So that was our background and objectives and we investigated this in urology outcomes trial a huge, huge trial. If you may all recall post ACS patients one to 12 months post ACS, they all had a run in period two to 16 weeks of high intensity or maximum tolerated dose of atorvastatin or rosuvastatin, and then you had to meet certain lipids criteria and then you were randomized to LRO come up circuitously every two weeks or placebo. And of course all the patients and investigators were blinded to lipid levels and treatment location. So this was a design. Dr Greg Hundley: Wouter that was a fantastic description of why we're studying this particular series of issues as both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Tell us a little bit about your study results? Dr Wouter Jukema: We looked at the entire population of the Odyssey outcomes trial. This is almost 19000 patients and then we looked if they had a history of prior cerebral vascular disease or we have no history of cerebral vascular disease. The majority, almost 18000 did not have a history of cerebral vascular disease and over 900 did have a history of cerebral vascular disease. And we've also looked at our baseline LDL cholesterol levels. Well, if you can of course, be sure we appreciate people with history of cerebral vascular disease or way out, there are a different study population. So that's of course what you may expect anyway. And that's what we saw. But regardless if you have the history of a vascular disease or you didn't have that, we saw a reduction of any stroke and actually it was 28% reduction of any stroke, which is quite impressive, in my opinion, as highly significant with a P value of point 0.05 and then afterwards of course, we tried to split it in ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic strokes. So as I told you, any stroke was reduced with 28% and if you then look at ischemic stroke, it was 27%. Also significant at the P value of 0.01. And then of course, the big question, what would happen with hemorrhagic stroke. And actually this was numerically less also in the LRO come up group. So there was not only a reduction in any stroke, but also in ischemic stroke. But also in hemorrhagic stroke, but this was 17% and then of course you are in the low numbers. So the ischemic ratio for hemorrhagic stroke was 0.83 in favor of LRO come up. And of course that by itself is not significant to the low numbers, but numerically there were less hemorrhagic strokes on top of that, there were less ischemic strokes and that was, I think a very reassuring finding. And the interesting part is that these results were more or less independent. If you have a history of cerebral vascular disease are not, so people without a price were benefiting and with a price were benefiting. And it was also statistically independent of your baseline LDL cholesterol level. So the results were basically the same. If you had a baseline LDL starting below 80 between 80 and 100 and over 100 the results were the same. LRO come up was always better than placebo. If you look at the data, you could see that it was perhaps doing slightly even better if you had a slightly higher cholesterol from the start, which is conceivable. But the formal test returned 80 did not say show any difference. So you could say the beneficial effect of other LRO come up on stroke in post ACA patients is independent of your history of cerebral vascular disease, is independent of your baseline LDL. LRO come up is just better for ischemic strokes as well as for hemorrhagic strokes at least there was no sign. Never mind add to that, we did even go one step further and we looked at the risk of hemorrhagic stroke in relation to the HG LDL cholesterol level. So not your baseline LDL cholesterol level, but the achieved LDL cholesterol level in the LRO come up group because there you find the, of course very low numbers and we divided them and below 25 milligrams per deciliter, which we could continue really low between 25 to 15, 15 to 17 over 17 and the numbers of hemorrhagic strokes were exactly the same, always 0.1, 0.2, 0.3%. So very low. And it was certainly not the case that they do very low numbers. We saw more hemorrhagic strokes. So this is again very reassuring data. So even at very low levels of LDL during the trial. Of course we should realize that this trial is of course only a medium duration of two per date, but we didn't see more erratic strokes. So in my opinion, this is very reassuring data. Dr Greg Hundley: Very good. I loved all that analysis of subgroups. I want to ask you one quick subgroup question. Was there any difference in outcomes related to gender or age? Dr Wouter Jukema: As far as we could see there was no differential effect in gender nor in age. Of course you should realize that in very advanced age, of course the numbers get small and if you then start dividing them again in the history of stroke or not, then of course the numbers will get low. But in general there is no age or gender difference. Dr Greg Hundley: Fantastic. So where do you think, does this field progress from here and what do you think will be the next study that we need related to PCSK9 inhibitors and adverse effects? Dr Wouter Jukema: I think we have shown now that patients with a recent ACS and dyslipidemia, despite incentive therapy, they do benefit from the PCSK9 LRO Come up, which is reflected by a decrease in the risk of stroke. You should of course realize that this is a post ACS population, so it was not targeted in a post stroke population. This is a atherosclerotic disease population, so the results are applying for an atherosclerotic population of course, many people that have a stroke in the past may have and also from embolic processes from a FIP or whatsoever, and those results may be the same but may of course they may also be different. So that situation was not tested here. This is a atherosclerotic post ACS population. Of course you may be interested in what would happen with strokes in an embolic population with a FIP and that would of course be a very nice trial to do as well. But then you have to do an entirely new trial. And some of these trials are of course underway, but I cannot, with my publication circulation, I cannot provide you with the answer. Dr Greg Hundley: Well listeners, we've had a great discussion on our feature article today from Dr Wouter Jukema from Leiden university medical center and really some important insights related to PCSK9 inhibitors and the fact in this study, a large study, a sub study from Odyssey that indicates really no increase incidents of both hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke in patients that receive these agents and had previously sustained acute coronary syndromes. I want to wish you all a great week and on the half of Carolyn and myself. Hope to see you next week. Take care now. This program is copyright American heart association 2019.

When we look outward into space, we're looking backwards in time. That's because light moves, at the speed of light. It takes time for the light to reach us. But it gets even stranger than that. Light can be absorbed, reflected, and re-emitted by gas and dust, giving us a second look. They're called light echoes, and allow astronomers another way to understand the Universe around us.

Welcome back to another exciting episode from those wacky Nerds you all love. This week we have actually made an episode that actually happens to be both Nerdy and entertaining somehow. It may actually even be able to be described as illuminating and educational, but that is up for debate. Now the ever important first topic, we have found out that there is a new series of graphic novels (or comics if you are as ancient as Buck) set in the Blade Runner universe at the time of 2019. Which, for those individuals that have been living in a cave or under a rock; and somehow have never read the book or seen the fabulously stupendous movie is the year it is set in. Not our perfunctorily boring reality, as we don’t have replicants and space colonies, sad to say. Oh humanity, the 60’s and 70’s were looking so bright, then you got caught up with hippies and drugs and look at you now, still stuck on earth with moronic politicians that are utterly boring. Next up we look at the new Pokémon game and discuss some of the various aspects, highlights and what we believe may be oversights as well. We wonder about the cross over into Super Smash Bros. Is Nintendo looking at a massive reveal next year at e3 with the launch of the Switch2, will we see all the various Pokémon from all evolutions of all games included in a monster pack? Will this be the start of a new trend in gaming? Will that stain come out of my favourite black shirt? Who knows, what we do know is that this is looking like a fun game to play so keep your eyes open and catch it while you can. Buck brings us news about the excessive waste of clothing going to landfill and polluting the planet. That’s right, all you strange people out there wearing lycra and spandex. The micro fibres from synthetic clothing are bad, nasty and downright toxic. Shame on anyone wearing synthetics, don’t you know they harm the environment. We, unlike some people have scientific evidence supporting this statement, so listen in and see what we are talking about. If you want to learn more please refer to the link provided. If you wish to read the article please go to page 61, if you wish to remain ignorantly oblivious please go to page 666. Hope you like the flash back to the choose your own adventure books, if you grew up reading these you are lucky. As normal we have the various shout outs, remembrances, birthdays, and special events. We also talk about the games we are playing. As always please remember to take care of yourselves and look out for each other, stay safe and hydrated, got to catch them all…EPISODE NOTES:Blade Runner 2019 Comics - https://comicbook.com/comics/2019/06/17/blade-runner-2019-trailer/Pokemon Sword and Shield - https://www.usgamer.net/articles/pokemon-sword-and-shield-interviewTextile Recycling - https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2019-06-15/textile-recycling-fashion-old-clothes-waste/11197904Games current playingProfessor– Crypt of the NecroDancer - https://store.steampowered.com/app/247080/Crypt_of_the_NecroDancer/Buck– Assassin’s Creed 2 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/33230/Assassins_Creed_2_Deluxe_Edition/DJ– Mortal Kombat 11 - https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/mortal-kombat-11-ps4/Other topics discussedBlade Runner Lore- Tyrell Corporation - https://bladerunner.fandom.com/wiki/Tyrell_Corporation- Replicant - https://bladerunner.fandom.com/wiki/Replicant- Rachel - https://bladerunner.fandom.com/wiki/RachaelWestwood Studios (games company)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westwood_StudiosAll the Pokémon present in Super Smash Bro.

News! NASA’s Curiosity rover has found new evidence preserved in rocks on Mars that suggests the planet could have supported ancient life. You’ve probably heard, but what does this really mean? So in order to have life, you need certain organic molecules or building blocks. Organic molecules contain carbon and hydrogen, and also may include oxygen, nitrogen and other elements. They were found in three-billion-year-old sedimentary rocks near the surface. This is such a big deal because, as put by NASA’s Jen Eigenbrode, " The Martian surface is exposed to radiation from space. Both radiation and harsh chemicals break down organic matter.Finding ancient organic molecules in the top five centimeters of rock that was deposited when Mars may have been habitable, bodes well for us to learn the story of organic molecules on Mars with future missions that will drill deeper.” Topic: (Our) Life on Mars! This will be the last episode to cover my experience at the International Space Development Conference and I have truly saved the best for last. At ISDC, it was astonishing how much there was to learn about what people and companies are doing RIGHT NOW to prepare for living on Mars and the Moon. We’re talking trekking through the Arctic, students building inflatable and autonomous habitats, and companies long in the making of settlements that will launch into orbit and build on themselves overtime. Be ready to be caught up on what NASA, private companies, and incredible individuals are doing to prepare to live in space. The first man I heard speak about this that really blew me away was Pascale Lee. Pascal Lee is a Planetary Scientist and Chairman and the Mars Institute and in all of these sessions, in all of the chaos of Space Settlements, Jeff Bezos, Student Projects, Pascal’s presentation stood out to me the most. He works in the most desolate place on Earth and tests systems for living and working on Mars, check it out! Questions: What are they actually doing there and why are they there? How do we get involved and what can we be doing here to spread the spirit of exploration He is also the author of Mission: Mars, a book training you to become a future Mars explorer. He takes you behind the scenes of space suits, rovers, and how we’re actually going to get there. After speaking with Pascale, I went to a session on the Development of Lunar Colonies and learned what private companies and NASA are doing in this area. Many people think that right now, NASA is dead and doing nothing when it comes to the Moon but that couldn’t be more wrong! First you should know that in 2009, NASA sent the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to orbit the moon on and exploration mission. The Exploration Mission was focused on supporting the extension of human presence in the solar system, LRO continues to help identify sites close to potential resources with high scientific value, favorable terrain and the environment necessary for safe future robotic and human lunar missions. So first step, LRO is searching for a place for us to live. Next, NASA is currently planning on building a Lunar Orbital Platform Gateway. This will be an orbiting space station around the Moon! It’s a Crew-tended gateway in Lunar orbit and it’s going to be used as a staging point for missions to the moon and Mars and a platform for science. It will bring commercial and international partnerships as well as help develop landing capabilities for future planetary missions. So right now we’re using the International Space Station to test capabilities for living in space So in 2020, they’ll launch SLS and Orion into cislunar space They want to go to the surface on the Moon with commercial landers Mars is still part of their plan! Mars 2020 rover to separate Oxygen from the atmosphere NASA is allowing 6 commercial companies to build lunar habitats and NASA will take the bests parts of those to develop a blueprint for a standard build. The speaker actually asked that if you have any great ideas of scientific experiments to include on the space station, to send it their way. Here’s what NASA is doing NOW: LOP-G is being built as a jumping off point for deep space missions NASA is planning several robotic missions to the Moon, including Search for ice in craters in the Lunar polar regions 13 cubesats into lunar orbit in 2020 Lunar Flashlight Lockheed Martin is testing a new infrared camera for the surface of the moon NASA has a partnership with the Korean Space Agency to test an imager in the permanent shadows of craters on the Moon NASA also is making arrangements to work with commercial companies to get equipment to the surface of the moon so it is there and ready for humans when they get there NASA also formed a new program called the Lunar Discovery and Exploration Program where they hope to fly multiple and frequent science missions to the surface of the moon using commercial landers Which will slowly scaling up to Human sized landers Ascent stages for future return missions Infrastructure for us to live and work there So in 2022 and 2024, they send midsize landers (500-1000kg of payload). These will act as: Overview: LRO search for landing sites > 2019/2020 Human return to moon in Orion > 2022 first element gateway will be launched > LOPG will have its initial capabilities launched and integrated in 2024 Commercial landers in 2024 that will grow to human scale It may sound like a lot, but we are preparing so that when we get there, we can stay there. After this really informative session with the NASA representative, I was able to catch up with Joshua Castro, CEO of InStarz, a company designed inflatable lunar habitats for the Moon and eventually Mars. In fact, this could be one of the companies NASA contracts to build a habitat. Although they are still in early stages, you have to hear about this Questions: Their session was Inflatable Lunar Base? So young…. 19 years old, presenting to people who are really experienced in the Space industry, how does it feel to bring this new energy to this conference?

We look at how Netflix serves 100 Gbps from an Open Connect Appliance, read through the 2nd quarter FreeBSD status report, show you a freebsd-update speedup via nginx reverse proxy, and customize your OpenBSD default shell. This episode was brought to you by Headlines Serving 100 Gbps from an Open Connect Appliance (https://medium.com/netflix-techblog/serving-100-gbps-from-an-open-connect-appliance-cdb51dda3b99) In the summer of 2015, the Netflix Open Connect CDN team decided to take on an ambitious project. The goal was to leverage the new 100GbE network interface technology just coming to market in order to be able to serve at 100 Gbps from a single FreeBSD-based Open Connect Appliance (OCA) using NVM Express (NVMe)-based storage. At the time, the bulk of our flash storage-based appliances were close to being CPU limited serving at 40 Gbps using single-socket Xeon E5–2697v2. The first step was to find the CPU bottlenecks in the existing platform while we waited for newer CPUs from Intel, newer motherboards with PCIe Gen3 x16 slots that could run the new Mellanox 100GbE NICs at full speed, and for systems with NVMe drives. Fake NUMA Normally, most of an OCA's content is served from disk, with only 10–20% of the most popular titles being served from memory (see our previous blog, Content Popularity for Open Connect (https://medium.com/@NetflixTechBlog/content-popularity-for-open-connect-b86d56f613b) for details). However, our early pre-NVMe prototypes were limited by disk bandwidth. So we set up a contrived experiment where we served only the very most popular content on a test server. This allowed all content to fit in RAM and therefore avoid the temporary disk bottleneck. Surprisingly, the performance actually dropped from being CPU limited at 40 Gbps to being CPU limited at only 22 Gbps! The ultimate solution we came up with is what we call “Fake NUMA”. This approach takes advantage of the fact that there is one set of page queues per NUMA domain. All we had to do was to lie to the system and tell it that we have one Fake NUMA domain for every 2 CPUs. After we did this, our lock contention nearly disappeared and we were able to serve at 52 Gbps (limited by the PCIe Gen3 x8 slot) with substantial CPU idle time. After we had newer prototype machines, with an Intel Xeon E5 2697v3 CPU, PCIe Gen3 x16 slots for 100GbE NIC, and more disk storage (4 NVMe or 44 SATA SSD drives), we hit another bottleneck, also related to a lock on a global list. We were stuck at around 60 Gbps on this new hardware, and we were constrained by pbufs. Our first problem was that the list was too small. We were spending a lot of time waiting for pbufs. This was easily fixed by increasing the number of pbufs allocated at boot time by increasing the kern.nswbuf tunable. However, this update revealed the next problem, which was lock contention on the global pbuf mutex. To solve this, we changed the vnode pager (which handles paging to files, rather than the swap partition, and hence handles all sendfile() I/O) to use the normal kernel zone allocator. This change removed the lock contention, and boosted our performance into the 70 Gbps range. As noted above, we make heavy use of the VM page queues, especially the inactive queue. Eventually, the system runs short of memory and these queues need to be scanned by the page daemon to free up memory. At full load, this was happening roughly twice per minute. When this happened, all NGINX processes would go to sleep in vm_wait() and the system would stop serving traffic while the pageout daemon worked to scan pages, often for several seconds. This problem is actually made progressively worse as one adds NUMA domains, because there is one pageout daemon per NUMA domain, but the page deficit that it is trying to clear is calculated globally. So if the vm pageout daemon decides to clean, say 1GB of memory and there are 16 domains, each of the 16 pageout daemons will individually attempt to clean 1GB of memory. To solve this problem, we decided to proactively scan the VM page queues. In the sendfile path, when allocating a page for I/O, we run the pageout code several times per second on each VM domain. The pageout code is run in its lightest-weight mode in the context of one unlucky NGINX process. Other NGINX processes continue to run and serve traffic while this is happening, so we can avoid bursts of pager activity that blocks traffic serving. Proactive scanning allowed us to serve at roughly 80 Gbps on the prototype hardware. Hans Petter Selasky, Mellanox's 100GbE driver developer, came up with an innovative solution to our problem. Most modern NICs will supply an Receive Side Scaling (RSS) hash result to the host. RSS is a standard developed by Microsoft wherein TCP/IP traffic is hashed by source and destination IP address and/or TCP source and destination ports. The RSS hash result will almost always uniquely identify a TCP connection. Hans' idea was that rather than just passing the packets to the LRO engine as they arrive from the network, we should hold the packets in a large batch, and then sort the batch of packets by RSS hash result (and original time of arrival, to keep them in order). After the packets are sorted, packets from the same connection are adjacent even when they arrive widely separated in time. Therefore, when the packets are passed to the FreeBSD LRO routine, it can aggregate them. With this new LRO code, we were able to achieve an LRO aggregation rate of over 2 packets per aggregation, and were able to serve at well over 90 Gbps for the first time on our prototype hardware for mostly unencrypted traffic. So the job was done. Or was it? The next goal was to achieve 100 Gbps while serving only TLS-encrypted streams. By this point, we were using hardware which closely resembles today's 100GbE flash storage-based OCAs: four NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 drives, 100GbE ethernet, Xeon E5v4 2697A CPU. With the improvements described in the Protecting Netflix Viewing Privacy at Scale blog entry, we were able to serve TLS-only traffic at roughly 58 Gbps. In the lock contention problems we'd observed above, the cause of any increased CPU use was relatively apparent from normal system level tools like flame graphs, DTrace, or lockstat. The 58 Gbps limit was comparatively strange. As before, the CPU use would increase linearly as we approached the 58 Gbps limit, but then as we neared the limit, the CPU use would increase almost exponentially. Flame graphs just showed everything taking longer, with no apparent hotspots. We finally had a hunch that we were limited by our system's memory bandwidth. We used the Intel® Performance Counter Monitor Tools to measure the memory bandwidth we were consuming at peak load. We then wrote a simple memory thrashing benchmark that used one thread per core to copy between large memory chunks that did not fit into cache. According to the PCM tools, this benchmark consumed the same amount of memory bandwidth as our OCA's TLS-serving workload. So it was clear that we were memory limited. At this point, we became focused on reducing memory bandwidth usage. To assist with this, we began using the Intel VTune profiling tools to identify memory loads and stores, and to identify cache misses. Because we are using sendfile() to serve data, encryption is done from the virtual memory page cache into connection-specific encryption buffers. This preserves the normal FreeBSD page cache in order to allow serving of hot data from memory to many connections. One of the first things that stood out to us was that the ISA-L encryption library was using half again as much memory bandwidth for memory reads as it was for memory writes. From looking at VTune profiling information, we saw that ISA-L was somehow reading both the source and destination buffers, rather than just writing to the destination buffer. We realized that this was because the AVX instructions used by ISA-L for encryption on our CPUs worked on 256-bit (32-byte) quantities, whereas the cache line size was 512-bits (64 bytes)?—?thus triggering the system to do read-modify-writes when data was written. The problem is that the the CPU will normally access the memory system in 64 byte cache line-sized chunks, reading an entire 64 bytes to access even just a single byte. After a quick email exchange with the ISA-L team, they provided us with a new version of the library that used non-temporal instructions when storing encryption results. Non-temporals bypass the cache, and allow the CPU direct access to memory. This meant that the CPU was no longer reading from the destination buffers, and so this increased our bandwidth from 58 Gbps to 65 Gbps. At 100 Gbps, we're moving about 12.5 GB/s of 4K pages through our system unencrypted. Adding encryption doubles that to 25 GB/s worth of 4K pages. That's about 6.25 Million mbufs per second. When you add in the extra 2 mbufs used by the crypto code for TLS metadata at the beginning and end of each TLS record, that works out to another 1.6M mbufs/sec, for a total of about 8M mbufs/second. With roughly 2 cache line accesses per mbuf, that's 128 bytes * 8M, which is 1 GB/s (8 Gbps) of data that is accessed at multiple layers of the stack (alloc, free, crypto, TCP, socket buffers, drivers, etc). At this point, we're able to serve 100% TLS traffic comfortably at 90 Gbps using the default FreeBSD TCP stack. However, the goalposts keep moving. We've found that when we use more advanced TCP algorithms, such as RACK and BBR, we are still a bit short of our goal. We have several ideas that we are currently pursuing, which range from optimizing the new TCP code to increasing the efficiency of LRO to trying to do encryption closer to the transfer of the data (either from the disk, or to the NIC) so as to take better advantage of Intel's DDIO and save memory bandwidth.

Install nginx somewhere 2. Configure nginx for a subdomain, say, freebsd-update.example.com 3. On all your hosts, in all your jails, configure /etc/freebsd-update.conf for new ServerName And... that's it. Running freebsd-update will use the ServerName domain which is your reverse nginx proxy. Note the comment about using a "nearby" server is not quite true. FreeBSD update mirrors are frequently slow and running such a reverse proxy cache significantly speeds things up. Caveats: This is a simple cache. That means it doesn't consider the files as a whole repository, which in turn means updates to your cache are not atomic. It'd be advised to nuke your cache before your update run, as its point is only to retain the files in a local cache for some short period of time required for all your machines to be updated. ClonOS is a free, open-source FreeBSD-based platform for virtual environment creation and management (https://clonos.tekroutine.com/) The operating system uses FreeBSD's development branch (12.0-CURRENT) as its base. ClonOS uses ZFS as the default file system and includes web-based administration tools for managing virtual machines and jails. The project's website also mentions the availability of templates for quickly setting up new containers and web-based VNC access to jails. Puppet, we are told, can be used for configuration management. ClonOS can be downloaded as a disk image file (IMG) or as an optical media image (ISO). I downloaded the ISO file which is 1.6GB in size. Booting from ClonOS's media displays a text console asking us to select the type of text terminal we are using. There are four options and most people can probably safely take the default, xterm, option. The operating system, on the surface, appears to be a full installation of FreeBSD 12. The usual collection of FreeBSD packages are available, including manual pages, a compiler and the typical selection of UNIX command line utilities. The operating system uses ZFS as its file system and uses approximately 3.3GB of disk space. ClonOS requires about 50MB of active memory and 143MB of wired memory before any services or jails are created. Most of the key features of ClonOS, the parts which set it apart from vanilla FreeBSD, can be accessed through a web-based control panel. When we connect to this control panel, over a plain HTTP connection, using our web browser, we are not prompted for an account name or password. The web-based interface has a straight forward layout. Down the left side of the browser window we find categories of options and controls. Over on the right side of the window are the specific options or controls available in the selected category. At the top of the page there is a drop-down menu where we can toggle the displayed language between English and Russian, with English being the default. There are twelve option screens we can access in the ClonOS interface and I want to quickly give a summary of each one: Overview - this page shows a top-level status summary. The page lists the number of jails and nodes in the system. We are also shown the number of available CPU cores and available RAM on the system. Jail containers - this page allows us to create and delete jails. We can also change some basic jail settings on this page, adjusting the network configuration and hostname. Plus we can click a button to open a VNC window that allows us to access the jail's command line interface. Template for jails - provides a list of available jail templates. Each template is listed with its name and a brief description. For example, we have a Wordpress template and a bittorrent template. We can click a listed template to create a new jail with a vanilla installation of the selected software included. We cannot download or create new templates from this page. Bhyve VMs - this page is very much like the Jails containers page, but concerns the creation of new virtual machines and managing them. Virtual Private Network - allows for the management of subnets Authkeys - upload security keys for something, but it is not clear for what these keys will be used. Storage media - upload ISO files that will be used when creating virtual machines and installing an operating system in the new virtual environment. FreeBSD Bases - I think this page downloads and builds source code for alternative versions of FreeBSD, but I am unsure and could not find any associated documentation for this page. FreeBSD Sources - download source code for various versions of FreeBSD. TaskLog - browse logs of events, particularly actions concerning jails. SQLite admin - this page says it will open an interface for managing a SQLite database. Clicking link on the page gives a file not found error. Settings - this page simply displays a message saying the settings page has not been implemented yet. While playing with ClonOS, I wanted to perform a couple of simple tasks. I wanted to use the Wordpress template to set up a blog inside a jail. I wanted a generic, empty jail in which I could play and run commands without harming the rest of the operating system. I also wanted to try installing an operating system other than FreeBSD inside a Bhyve virtual environment. I thought this would give me a pretty good idea of how quick and easy ClonOS would make common tasks. Conclusions ClonOS appears to be in its early stages of development, more of a feature preview or proof-of-concept than a polished product. A few of the settings pages have not been finished yet, the web-based controls for jails are unable to create jails that connect to the network and I was unable to upload even small ISO files to create virtual machines. The project's website mentions working with Puppet to handle system configuration, but I did not encounter any Puppet options. There also does not appear to be any documentation on using Puppet on the ClonOS platform. One of the biggest concerns I had was the lack of security on ClonOS. The web-based control panel and terminal both automatically login as the root user. Passwords we create for our accounts are ignored and we cannot logout of the local terminal. This means anyone with physical access to the server automatically gains root access and, in addition, anyone on our local network gets access to the web-based admin panel. As it stands, it would not be safe to install ClonOS on a shared network. Some of the ideas present are good ones. I like the idea of jail templates and have used them on other systems. The graphical Bhyve tools could be useful too, if the limitations of the ISO manager are sorted out. But right now, ClonOS still has a way to go before it is likely to be safe or practical to use. Customize ksh display for OpenBSD (http://nanxiao.me/en/customize-ksh-display-for-openbsd/) The default shell for OpenBSD is ksh, and it looks a little monotonous. To make its user-experience more friendly, I need to do some customizations: (1) Modify the “Prompt String” to display the user name and current directory: PS1='$USER:$PWD# ' (2) Install colorls package: pkg_add colorls Use it to replace the shipped ls command: alias ls='colorls -G' (3) Change LSCOLORS environmental variable to make your favorite color. For example, I don't want the directory is displayed in default blue, change it to magenta: LSCOLORS=fxexcxdxbxegedabagacad For detailed explanation of LSCOLORS, please refer manual of colorls.

On this episode: The 10-episode drama, from Robert UBR - UFO Report 4: Project Blue on A&E and Sneaky NASA The 10-episode drama, from Robert Zemeckis and A+E Studios, will tackle true U.S. Air-Force-sanctioned investigations into UFO sightings — and is not necessarily targeted at prospective car buyers, as its title might suggest. Blue Book, written and created by screenwriter David O'Leary, sounds like something of a period piece X-Files. It follows a college professor recruited by the Air Force to research paranormal files from the 1950s and '60s, each episode drawing inspiration from actual files for a blend of UFO theories with authentic historical information. "Rarely have I been associated with a project that is a perfect fusion of historical fact and extraordinary entertainment," said Zemeckis.

It started in 1952, and it was the third study of its kind (the first two were projects Sign (1947) and Grudge (1949)). A termination order was given for the study in December 1969, and all activity under its auspices ceased in January 1970. Project Blue Book had two goals: To determine if UFOs were a threat to national security, and To scientifically analyze UFO-related data.

However, Nasa thinks “a small natural meteorite” was to blame for the collision. Mark Robinson, a professor at Arizona State University's school of earth and space exploration, said: “LROC was struck and survived to keep exploring the moon.” He suggested a tiny meteorite hit the space probe, knocking its cameras so they produced a “wild and jittery” image of the moon's surface. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/3672790/nasa-admits-its-lunar-reconnaissance-orbiter-collided-with-a-ufo-but-insists-aliens-were-not-to-blame/ The Show Stuff Checkout our new UFO BUSTER RADIO GOODIES!! https://shop.spreadshirt.com/UFOBusterRadio/ Facebook Pages Manny Moonraker: https://www.facebook.com/MannyMoonraker/ UFO Buster Radio: https://www.facebook.com/UFOBusterRadio UFO Buster Radio Merch T-Shirts and stuff: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/UFOBusterRadio Patreon: Become a patron of the show and help us gear up with technology worthy of investigating UFO sightings both historical and new. www.patreon.com/ufobusterradio UFO Buster Radio YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCggl8-aPBDo7wXJQ43TiluA To contact Manny: manny@ufobusterradio.com, or on Twitter @ufobusterradio Call the show anytime at (972) 290-1329 and leave us a message with your point of view, UFO sighting, and ghostly experiences or join the discussion on www.ufobusterradio.com For Skype Users: bosscrawler

Old Capital Real Estate Investing Podcast with Michael Becker & Paul Peebles
A professional property management company can make or break your profitability and overall success to your apartment investment. Find a management group you can trust. A property management company should treat their clients money as their own. Craig Lashley & Todd Parks are with SIMC Property Management. SIMC is a third party property management company that manages over 7500 apartment units. SIMC focuses on properties with a minimum size of 200+ unit apartments. SIMC likes to find employees outside of the apartment industry to join their team. Property Management companies should have a few different divisions. Example: 1) accounting, 2) human resources, 3) construction & rehab ACCOUNTING- is responsible for receiving rental income, paying the expenses and then delivering monthly financial statements to the ownership group. They are also responsible for lender communication for construction draws on rehab and the capital replacement reserves. HUMAN RESOURCES- HR overseas the onsite property manager, assistant manager, leasing agent, maintenance manager, assistant manager & porter. CONSTRUCTION- Your property management company needs to improve and update your property. They execute your vision. Having an internal construction group controlled by the property management company can be cheaper and more consistent than hiring an outside crew. A large property management company can buy in bulk and import fixtures, flooring and low flow toilets directly from overseas, thus saving huge costs. TIPS: When you put a property under contract to buy, make sure that seller does not take their eye off the ball before the property changes hands. If occupancy or NOI fall, your lender may have to reduce your loan dollars. Maximize your rental revenue with LRO. Hotels and airlines use it to get the highest price in the market. Find out if you can use rental optimization for your building. Huge amenity push in apartments to capture new tenants. Craig likes a ’24 hour-package room’ for boxes delivered by Amazon or UPS. Valet Trash is a great low cost amenity for tenants that will help your bottom line. Todd uses Facebook Messenger to communicate with potential tenants. GOOD ADVICE: As an owner, don’t get in the middle between the management company and the on-site employee…or you could get fired. Let them do what they do (operate the building)…and you do what you do.

Questions on today’s podcast come to us from Dr. Sagar Shah via twitter - you can follow him @thisissagarshah In a short exchange he asked questions a lot of our IMG clients ask, and I thought the answers would be valuable to a wider audience, so I’ll answer them here. There is a lot of good information available online from different sources like the ECFMG, ERAS, etc. so I won’t regurgitate a lot of that stuff and will instead give more personal advice. Any US student who wants to get a bit of understanding may also gain some insight from today’s topics. As you may remember from earlier episodes, only about 50% of any given match year over the last 10 years has been US allopathic MDs, IMGs made up about 40% of the pool or may not know, IMGs currently make up about 25% of the physician workforce. Most of those in Internal medicine, psych, pedi - more primary specialties. Regionally, New Jersey, New York, Florida, and Illinois had the highest concentration of IMGs when last polled in 2009 - could have shifted a bit since. The country supplying the most IMGs is India, the Caribbean schools collectively make up a huge chunk - Dominica, Grenada, Netherlands Antilles, then Pakistan, China, Philippines, Mexico - overall 127 different countries granting ECFMG certificates in this 2009 paper. So, a bit of perspective - as a US student you will absolutely work with an FMG in the near future, and as an FMG, you will not be alone when you match into a US residency program. Let's get into the questions: Dr. Shah asks: Can you give a good strategy for IMGs? This is a very loaded question with about 50 questions encapsulated into this one - so I think I know what you are asking and I’ll try and outline a “good strategy” for any IMG. When we work with clients, each individual candidate is unique - geography, speciality, graduation year, family concerns, US experience, visa status, etc - so it is hard to point a whole group of people in one direction with advice, but there are some highlights: Do as well as you possibly can on the USMLE. I can not emphasize this enough. Some foreign schools already have credibility in certain states or in certain programs so that PDs and state licensing boards are familiar with the caliber of graduates that come out of them. Lots don’t - so doing well on a standardized test makes you look good comparing apples to apples. Be prepared to do whatever it takes - multiple review courses, thousands of dollars, multiple months off for individual study. SImply put, the higher your score, the better your chances. Know your priorities - as an FMG, getting a US residency spot is already a hard process, for you and your family, and it is a hard choice both personally and professionally when deciding what you are going to prioritize. Ultimately you may find yourself needing to choose between practicing any type of medicine in the US vs practicing a specific specialty anywhere on earth. You will often see IM or FM residents in US programs who were Orthopedic Surgeons or Ophthalmologists in their home countries, but they choose to change specialty to practice medicine in the US. On the flip side you see US citizens who go out of the country for medical education, fall in love with Dermatology or Otolaryngology to the point that they remain in their training country to practice that passion instead of trying to get into the hyper competitive US options. Think about these options when deciding what would benefit you and your loved ones the most. Be flexible - the saying “beggars can't be choosers” absolutely applies here - apply to a huge number of programs, and absolutely apply to multiple specialties. Consider multiple geographic regions. If finances are a strain, you can focus your efforts, but the reality is that extra 12/16/26 dollar fee to tack on one more program is a drop in a bucket and can get your foot in the door to a six figure salary for the rest of your career - now is not the time to pinch pennies. Be realistic - short term - knowing where to apply and how to go about it, and long term as well. Some IMGs end up compromise too much and get stuck in patterns of multiple prelim years, malignant programs, grad school, and other endeavors to try and become more competitive for the match and can paradoxically become less competitive, and really mount up debt. Some test prep courses can be these endless loops of multiple time test takers, who can ace qbanks but not get residencies - end up a tutors, advisors, lab assistants, phlebotomists, foreign MDs are definately not guaranteed anything in the US. Know how competitive you are and focus your efforts accordingly. Use your connections - anyone you know - and I mean anyone, previous alumni, any friends or relatives, anyone you rotated with on AI or observership. Play to your strengths - whenever the opportunity arises - PS, LORs, interview, make sure you let them know you speak multiple languages, talk about your hands-on experience, paint a picture of IMGs as a group that is hungrier, harder working, more resilient, more flexible - willing and able to move countries to train. As any US students listening may not realize that different countries have regulatory bodies and medical training outside of the US can be drastically different - US students have curriculum that can be evidence based, problem based, well researched, validated tools, etc. learn from an online module, and get excited when an attending lets them throw a few simple interrupted sutures during closing - when students in Mexico for example don’t have the luxury of having a note taking service, or even professors who know what is covered on Step 1, but they were first assist in transplant cases with a resident in charge - no fellow, resident, other students fighting for the case. Be optimistic - don’t believe everything you read on SDN or valueMD or other forums. Plenty of IMGs have jobs. In fact, IMGs make up about 25% of the current physician workforce. This is a subject that hits close to home as personally, I am an IMG, and it is the reason I wrote my book and the reason I started this business was to help IMGs - I think they are a vital portion of the medical workforce and bring elements to US medicine that will continue to drive it forward. “Millennial” generation with note taking services, angry when a professor didn’t tell them what question was going to be on a test, upset over anything less than perfect on an evaluation form - nauseating and not indicative of patient care. IMGs traditionally flying blind, fighting tooth and nail for any position available often taking USMLE on their own, with bootleg study review materials, fighting for any leg up, fighting to find material relevant to the USMLE vs deciding between 4-5 books to see which is best. A handful of common US student complaints are about not getting enough away rotations, or the lack of financial support or housing, or getting an evaluation from a resident that an attending signs, or even an attending you didn’t really spend time with. Meanwhile IMGs may have clinical rotations in 7 different cities with a loose word-of mouth network of where to live, and shared subway cards, IM in Chicago, then OB in NYC, Psych in LA - and they are grateful for a LRO in English from ANYONE, much less the person who will give them the best letter. Long list of intangibles that IMGs deal with often that departments may or may not know - you have been through a lot, you will get through this too. Dr. Shah asks: What is more important for IMGs - research work, or electives and observerships? Clinical, clinical, clinical. Research is important, but to frankly answer this question, I have to emphasize clinical patient care. You are looking to get into a program to take care of patients, so show them you can take care of patients - the more involved the better. Get an LOR out of the experience, and if possible get it at a hospital you want to train at. Dr. Shah asks: What are the common mistakes made by IMGs when applying to residency programs? Prior to applying - Not doing your homework - not using connections, not looking at the specifics of visa paperwork, how to get one, which ones you need, if a program will sponsor it. State specific in some cases, program specific. Commonly overestimate their value - look at your scores, look at your application, you will not get ortho - there is a difference in being optimistic and being delusional - miracles may happen elsewhere, but don’t bank on it in the Match. Commonly underestimate their value - in the current landscape, there are still not enough US grads to fill all of the available spots - your life, happiness and career are not worth too much compromise. Bad program, on probation, abusing residents, poor education, poor employment opportunities - that will be a bigger stain on your record than your foreign school - at the next level you are always judged by the most recent level - you are no longer a *** grad, you are a *** resident. Common mistakes during the interview I have seen - focusing too much on justifying academic performance - many foreign schools work on strictly objective, merit-based rewards - highest score gets the highest spot. I encourage all of our IMG clients to remember the social component - telling families they lost a loved one, discussing cancer diagnoses, end of life care, navigating health system beliefs. Nuances of the english language lost in translation - miscarriage vs abortion, obesity vs fat, spanish culture. Forgetting that this is a job to learn - when coaching US clients we usually work on US lifelong student changing a mindset from student to employee - need to work on projecting leadership / confidence / reliability / autonomy that go with patient care, and dampen the submissive, passive traits. IMGs I see a lot of the opposite - well established physicians that may carry respect / klout to a degree that need to change mindset to a more traditional learner. Programs don’t want to but heads with someone for multiple years who is coming in and telling them how to do things or how they used to do things back home - you are there to learn from these people, learning pt care, learning communication, learning procedures - even if you have performed 200 knee replacements back home, you are interviewing to be an intern next year - wound vac changes, bowel disimpaction, perhaps someone half your age being your superior, etc - show THAT aspect of your personality. For our last question today, Dr. Shah asks: Looking at the current scenario can an IMG with a green card get into Radiology residency? Yes - do your homework, be flexible, be realistic, know yourself - all of the above apply. Know that they are not going to hand it to you, and you are going to have to work for it, but be optimistic. FIrst I would make sure I was a competitive applicant - are my scores well above average? Would my application as a US student be competitive? Look at “Charting outcomes in the Match” - diagnostic radiology - step 1 235, step 2 240 - Data shows while most applicants matched at 240 and above, 14 of these “independent applicants” matched with 200 or less. If you were a client, I would polish your application - make sure your strengths come across as strengths, and any red / yellow flags are addressed. CV polished, appropriate experiences highlighted, perfect multiple PS, LORs appropriately uploaded. Etc. Create a spreadsheet, look at every website to determine if they are “IMG friendly”, or call them all - or even outsource that. When I was applying freelancing was taking off, I hired a virtual assistant call every program coordinator I was interested in and ask bluntly about cutoffs and multiple attempts, IMGs - whatever your specific situation. If you were my client, that is something we can arrange for you. Once you have your list, polish your application - would tweaks in your PS add to your application? - geography specific or school specific - are you familiar with a professor’s works, research,etc. Mention these specifics so they stand out once you clear the initial hurdles. Then, apply to every single one you can afford. That would then generate a handful of interview invitations, I would walk you through how to communicate with programs, how to best schedule, and we would practice radiology-specific mock interviews with explicit feedback on body language, diction and word choice, confidence, how to tell your story given different interviewer styles or different question types to make sure you are your best self to these handful of people in a handful of hours. We would help you create your rank list, and sit back and wait patiently. There are some other pre and post communication nuances we could coach you through if they arise. As a backup plan, take that same list of programs, and apply across the board to preliminary medicine (or surgery) programs with radiology departments you want to train at - if you don’t match in radiology, you will at least have a US residency spot as a foothold. I would show you how to structure your rank list to set you up to rank at any radiology program first, then fall to your top choice IM program. During that year, spend every free moment with the radiologists and let them know your interest. Radiology reading rooms - trauma call in the ED - hang out with the residents, and talk with faculty if available - let them know your interest bluntly and that you will be applying next year. To a US residency program, a year spent in US clinical medicine is better than 5 years at the best hospital in any other country, research, perfect step scores, etc. You would now be Dr. Shah, intern at *** IM program. Keep up with radiology CME websites / trending news - be able to discuss specifics of scans - really impress these people. They will be doing the interviews, can pass the word up the ladder, and the more senior resident will be the chief residents. In addition, there are rare opportunities to jump into available spots mid-year - so we would be looking for any available spot that opens mid-year - funding is attached to resident slots, so if people leave secondary to illness or family crisis, or disciplinary action,etc. , there are opportunities to move laterally into programs. Not foolproof, and no guarantees, but a solid plan to set you up to be that approximately 30% of the entering PGY 2 class that comes from outside of US allopathic seniors.
