Spaceflight does a number on our bodies — we lose muscle mass and density, fluids shift

in strange ways, there's even evidence that radiation exposure in space increases risk

of developing Alzheimer's disease.

And now new research has revealed that long-term missions expand brain tissue with some scary

results.

I'm never going to get to go to Mars.

In all the research done on how spaceflight affects the body, there's been fairly little

done on the brain, specifically brain tissue and the cerebrospinal fluid space.

But that's not because astronauts don't show signs of some kind of brain changes when

they return from a stint on the International Space Station.

Many exhibit symptoms of an ill-understood condition called "visual impairment intracranial

pressure" syndrome (VIIP) — they report poorer vision upon landing that can last for

years, and physicals show some of the cause is swelling of the eye's optic disk as well

as increased pressure in the skull.

So, a team of set out to study these changes before they happen.

They used MRIs to look at astronauts' brains before and after long and short duration missions

— 165 days on average for long and 13 days on average short flights.

Physicians then read the scans looking for displacement of brain tissue and narrowing

of cerebrospinal fluid spaces — that's the space where the spinal fluid roots in

the brain.

One point of interest was the central sulcus, a cleft running through the middle of the

brain that divides the areas responsible for motor control and sensory input.

They found the central sulcus narrowed in almost all cases of long duration missions

but very few on short flights.

Also after long missions, scans showed an upward shift of the brain tissue against the

top of the skull as well as a narrowing in the space for the spinal fluid.

In the short term comparisons, only one astronaut showed narrowing in the space for the spinal

fluid in the brain.

It's not entirely surprising that something like this happens.

Our bodies are adapted for the gravity field on Earth, and when you take that away our

systems keep working with some odd effects.

But all this might sound worse than it is…This is a classic case of "more research is needed."

For the moment scientists aren't sure what this narrowing means, whether or not it actually

has an impact on the flow of spinal fluid or puts more pressure on brain tissue.

It's one of many studies NASA is conducting about how space affects the brain, including

impacts on motor control and multi-tasking abilities.

If we're going to send astronauts to Mars, we're going to need to make sure they get

there with healthy brains.

big space danger -- radiation -- does, Amy's got the answer right here.

And speaking of heads in space, Apollo astronauts saw flashes in their eyeballs!

They were cosmic rays. That's so cool.

Again, Thanks for watching.

Hello guys, it's Reoni here, and this is my first time speaking on this channel

It also my first time speaking English on this channel, so I'm sorry if my pronunciation is off

I'll try my best but

this reason that I talk in English for the first time on my channel is rather sad and

I'm very upset

because

yesterday

evening my friend Deathy

Wrote me a message asking me if I was on a chat called

'VRchat' (it's a virtual reality

chat) and

I didn't even know what that was

until today and

He told me that there was a person

acting like me they had my name and

They obviously had my persona's design also

Well and Deathy told me that that person was lap dancing other people in the game

(It was a MMD chat by the way) so Deathy asked them in German, because I'm German

He said something like ''hallo, ich bin es, Deathy.''

which

translates to

''Hello, it's me, Deathy'' in German, but they didn't reply

Now, what I know now is that the VRchat is using voice chat as well. I don't know if you can type things

He didn't really tell me, but they are using voice chat. I didn't see anyone like sending text messages to each other

Yeah, so Deathy told me you can like use a default character

Or you can customize your own but to customize your own character

You need something like Unity5 (I read that on their page)

so someone took their actual time to make my persona in Unity5

to upload it to VRchat to play it...

It's my persona. It was never free to use. I never said it was free to use also they didn't ask for permission.

I got no message asking for permission to use it for a game or

for something else

Why is the wrong man receiving a knighthood, asks LEO MCKINSTRY - Duration: 7:46.

Why is the wrong man receiving a knighthood, asks LEO MCKINSTRY

The majority of the British people were fed up with being told that their instinctive patriotism was outdated, that their desire for stronger borders was bigoted and that their yearning for self-governance was xenophobic.

  Never in modern history has the smug, condescending political class suffered such a setback.   The reaction of the pro-EU brigade has been furious, driving it to do everything it can to discredit the referendum outcome and undermine the Brexit process.

  This enthusiasm for the EU and contempt for Brexit shines through the reported decision by the liberal establishment to give a knighthood to Nick Clegg, the former Liberal Democrat leader and deputy prime minister, in the 2018 New Year's Honours list.

A knight is meant to be a defender of the realm. That is an exact description of Farage, but such words could never be used about Clegg.

Clegg was given the order of the boot by voters in his Sheffield Hallam constituency at the general election in the summer but now he has been rewarded with a gong by Europhile elitists.  The award is a calculated snub towards Brexit supporters, a loud raspberry from the pro-EU fanatics who despise the verdict of the British people.

For Clegg is no ordinary failed politician. On the contrary, Clegg is one of the high priests of the movement for European integration, a man so long marinated in the orthodoxies of EU federalism that he does not understand national interests.

This is a pompous mediocrity who campaigns fervently for a second EU referendum in the hope that the result of the first will be overturned. He has even written a book on how to stop Brexit. .

Clegg's knighthood is all the more offensive because the same liberal establishment decided to award nothing to Nigel Farage.   Once again the real architect of our national freedom has been given no recognition at all.

  The contrast in the treatment of these two figures epitomises the warped, anti-British values of the politically correct ruling class.

  On one side, we have an indefatigable warrior for our national liberty who, through the sheer force of his personality, enabled Britain to escape the clutches of EU subjugation.

On the other side, we have a cliché-spouting federalist maniac who wants Britain to be nothing more than a regional province in the EU's bureaucratic empire.

In a normal political system with respect for national integrity, the patriot would be honoured and the turncoat ostracised.  But all morality has been inverted by the twisted ideology of the EU.  Farage is regarded as a pariah by the state machine precisely because he heroically challenged and defeated the ruling creed. .

Without his charisma and extraordinary eloquence, we would never have regained our sovereignty.  Indeed, without him, there would have been no EU referendum at all.  As prime minister, David Cameron was forced in 2013 to announce a vote on EU membership because of the remarkable advance by Farage's UK Independence Party, which was threatening to weaken Tory support in its heartlands.  In Britain's past we rewarded those who upheld our freedom with statues, grants and peerages.

The very least Farage deserves is a knighthood. . He is a second-rate professional politician whose whole career is distinguished by failure and the worship of Brussels power.

He even worked as a bureaucrat for the European Commission before he became a Member of the European Parliament.  His fervour for EU domination was demonstrated in a typical article that he wrote in 2003, in which he boasted that "MEPs are parliamentary giants" and "Europe's most influential lawmakers", with "extensive powers" in "every conceivable area of public life".

As leader of the Liberal Democrats from 2007 he performed dismally in the role, presiding in 2015 over his party's worst defeat since the 1950s, his unpopularity exacerbated by his notorious breach of his pledge on student tuition fees. .

As deputy prime minister in Cameron's coalition, he contributed little beyond sniping.  The difference in stature between Clegg and Farage was highlighted in the spring of 2014 when the two men confronted each other in live, televised debates on the EU.  With his self-confidence and power of argument, Farage demolished Clegg who visibly withered under the Ukip leader's brilliant rhetorical bombardment.  All the opinion polls declared Farage to be easily the winner.

Yet the establishment still clings to Clegg just as it lavishes its patronage on the useless, unrepresentative Liberal Democrats who won just 7.4 per cent of the vote and 12 seats in the last general election. .

A host of knighthoods have been dished out to Liberal Democrats.  Vince Cable has one, as do Ed Davey, the MP for Kingston, and recently defeated members such as Danny Alexander and Steve Webb.  Equally glaring is the chasm in the House of Lords, where the Liberal Democrats now have over 100 peers, while Ukip has just three.  This gap could be a crucial factor in votes in the Upper House on the EU Withdrawal Bill next year.  A knight is meant to be a defender of the realm.

That is an exact description of Farage, but such words could never be used about Clegg.

Hier is het bolle buikje van Eva Longoria

Photo News Celebrities Sinds Eva Longoria (42) vorige week bekend maakte dat ze haar eerste kindje verwacht met haar man José Baston kijken fans uit naar de eerste fotos van haar bolle buikje. En die zijn er nu.

De actrice is ondertussen zon vier maanden zwanger van een zoontje en haar buik begint dus stilaan wat dikker te worden. De fotos van haar bolle buikje werden gemaakt tijdens een vakantie in Miami.

Eva en José genoten er samen van boottochtjes en etentjes, en vertoefden meestal in het gezelschap van een aantal vrienden. .

Eva en José trouwden in mei 2016 in het Mexicaanse Acapulco nadat ze al drie jaar samen waren. Eerder was de Desperate Housewives-ster getrouwd met Tyler Christopher en Tony Parker.

José heeft al drie kinderen uit een eerder huwelijk en wordt dus voor de vierde keer vader. Voor Eva wordt het haar eerste kindje.
