Each session lasted 3 minutes.
The crewmember entered my stateroom, sat in a chair, placed finger sensors on their 3 middle fingers, and watched a white image projected onto a wall for 3 minutes.
During that time, I recorded their heart rate variability (hrv) and skin conductance level (scl).
The data for each session was saved to the hard drive of a desktop pc in my stateroom.

Crew Members:

Judah Epstein

Site Location:
South of the Hab

Transit Mode:
Walking

Objectives:
Find the geocache hidden by MDRS crew 96

Results:
We did not find the geocache. Initially the crew had the settings of the GPS on NAD83, and then realized it was incorrect and should be at NAD27 CONUS Datum. The crew corrected the setting, but even with the new setting the geocache location did not match with the given coordinates. It was determined that the given GPS coordinates of the geocache are incorrect.

Lessons Learned:
Check to make sure the settings on the GPS are correct when navigating to a waypoint.

Recipe for focaccia bread
Adapted from http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/blitz-bread-no-fuss-focaccia-recipe

1.5 c warm water
3 T olive oil plus extra for drizzling
1.25 T salt
3.5 c white flour
1 T instant yeast
Cheese seasoning packet from 1 5 oz package of au gratin potatoes (substitute for 0.25 c cheese powder called for in original recipe)
4 t mixed basil, oregano, and garlic powder (substitute for pizza dough flavor in original recipe)

1. Lightly grease a 9”x 13” pan and drizzle 1-2 T olive oil on the bottom.
2. Combine water, 3 T olive oil, flour, yeast, 2 t seasonings, and cheese packet and beat well until a sticky batter forms
3. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan, cover with oiled foil or plastic wrap, and let rise at room temperature until puffy, around 60 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 375°F
5. Poke dough all over with a finger
6. Drizzle top of dough with olive oil and sprinkle on the last 2t of seasonings
7. Bake 35-40 minutes or until golden brown
8. Remove from oven, let stand 5 minutes, transfer to rack, serve warm or at room temperature.

5) Comments/questions:
In the recipe for focaccia bread that Jean left me, it called for 1/4 cup of cheese powder. I could not find any cheese powder provided, so I used some that came in the package of Au Gratin potatoes. The bread was delicious!!
