Mitoquinone

wiki background
Hydrophilic opposition to hydropobicity
experiment purchased sample by web - arrived Friday 26th July.

1st impressions-

Post Package- nothing special to excite or alert
excellent pump,
no info for anti palm oil, anti artificial oils decisions,
packaging cold, cf to french robot that I helped with, cf l'occitaine
1 pump equals about .75ml one side of face: 3ml per day, ie 50days worth of material @ $185.
Value proposition not : does the prospect want to be inside the tent or outside, or doesn't care?

Science

is this the first exogenous mutation to Mito since encapsulation of mito into cell
if the mito are damaged, then need other components eg propinyl carnitine , and nadh/nad co-factors or pyruvate flooding for mito biogenesis

Test

right hand side of face- 3 times per day- morning, day and night. Use galvanic cell to see if diffusion can be enhanced
Friday night- first time, dries within seconds
Saturday Sunday 3 times a day, no result, finger feel cf left hand side , no difference, capillaries, bumpiness, nothing to note cf with left side too
Monday- nothing. added carnitine 1g per day.deleted milk products. DHEA cream works ( Montreal Univ cf)
aug19th. 3 weeks of tests. Fcae skin is smother by feel but not by look.Left hand is smoother , but not by look after 2 weeks.

Roundabouts (s111, s119)

At roundabouts:

drivers who want to turn right at two-lane roundabouts are required to enter the roundabout and complete the turn, from the right hand lane
cyclists are exempt from this requirement and may enter the roundabout and complete a right hand turn from either the left lane or the right lane
cyclists, if they choose to make a right turn from the left lane, must give way to any vehicle that is crossing their path to leave the roundabout.

Cyclists may turn right from the right lane of two-lane roundabouts.

Cyclists may also turn right from the left lane of two-lane roundabouts, but must give way to vehicles that cross their path.

Note: Cyclists riding in the far left marked lane of a roundabout with 2 or more marked lanes, or the far left line of traffic in a roundabout with room for 2 or more lines of traffic, must give way to any vehicle leaving the roundabout.

It's best not to get too far outside the norm or you'll confuse other road users. Lots of white light front, lots of red light rear. I believe that motorists are used to following red lights, and avoiding amber lights. Amber is used for construction/pothole markings as well as on the back side of most ambulance vehicles (along with flashing red lights). Somebody really drunk might just follow your steady red light or reflector - him at 50 mph, you at 15 mph. Not pretty. I run a blinky amber and a bilnky red on the rear. In my rear view mirror I can see cars moving out of my lane an eighth of a mile back. I would never run a steady red light or a red reflector alone. Blinky red alone? Do I really want to ID myself as a bicycle if there is a chance I could look like a BUS? Not really. Be the bus Danny!

ccident/Incident

How to avoid having a ghost bike at the site of an incident that is called an accident? First read David Brennan's essay post in his blogThe Mind of a Helmet Camera Cyclist on incident verus accident A culture of Responsibility

In Case of Impact- witness- record, ask for witnesses and call 000, (even from a touch from a car, truck or bike, or pedestrian- by Law call 000 Ambulance and Police)

A slow moving impact that happned to our friend in July 2013 is posted here

Bicycle built for 2: HydroCarbonJohn & Professor Lucy

July 2013- Le Bike de deux

Thank you Tex Perkins for bringing H.G. Wells into the picture!

While waiting for the Tardis to return ( using atomic propulsion), we need to build a hydrocarbon fuel cell powered travel machine for Professor Lucy and her Assistant Dr John.

Scoping Idea: We need to lower the centre of gravity, design from visibility and safety first, and have some fun with a imaginative frame-builder. ......... Ewen Gellie

Hi John,

"carrying a dog on the front is no problem. There is a frame geometry that has been proven for that. This is the modern rack option. There is a whole renewal of appreciation of the proven practical older style bikes and there were some beautiful examples in a practical-appreciation way.

Arnaud's bike is top of the line! A bike with derailleur gears can't be beaten for cost. I can make one for approx $xplus. Internally geared hubs add the all-weather simplicity europeans love. Belt-drive eliminates the mess and wear of chain-drive. The Rohloff-internally-geared-hub adds another $1000 on top with its 14-speed precision german durability. Those bikes would be $y-plus."

Cheers, Ewen
