Another reason for my visit to the D&I was the chance to see their GP50's on a train. SD40-2's are their preferred power, but GP50's and even their remaining GP9's or a GP39-2 may also get a turn leading. With the GP50's being replaced this year, I was hoping to see at least one train with one leading. I did get a four-axle locomotive leading the northbound empty train from Sioux City with an even better surprise; a GP39-2-GP9-GP39-2-SD40-2 consist, starting my chase from Westfield to Chatsworth. The GP39-2's are former Kennecott Copper, having funky lower cab roof lines and smaller fuel tanks.

Conrail OI-85 crosses the Raritan River viaduct behind a three-unit consist not often seen on the Northeast Corridor in New Jersey. Picking up where the previous photo caption left off, OI-85's two GP40-2s returned light from Midway to County interlocking in New Brunswick where they grabbed an outlawed ME-2 consist off the Millstone Industrial which included CSXT 4406, caboose CR 22137 and 16 cars. The entire train was headed back to Oak Island yard where this odyssey began earlier in the day. I assume at some point overnight the 4406 (or another geep) and 22137 were returned to Metuchen Yard where they would be needed for Monday's ME-2.

Santa Fe SD45-2 #5833 leads a SF30C, F45, SD45-2 consist on a westbound intermodal train at Ancona, IL in May of 1992. Based on the color of the first spine car, I believe this is one of Santa Fe's "10 pack fuel foiler" cars that were advertised on Santa Fe television commercials when I was a kid. These cars were a precursor of todays 3 and 5 unit Trailer Train spine cars.

"The museum was designed by Tampa architect C. Hoffman Jr. and built by Creative Contractors, Inc.The interior of the museum resembles the bow of a ship, created by the effect of large skylights that sweep towards the rafters of the building. This image pays tribute to Tarpon Springs' fishing and sponge harvesting industries.
The 53,000 square feet (4,900 m2) complex[2] consists of three buildings in one – the museum, the Ellis Foundation Art Education Center, and the Michael M. Bennett Library – designed in such a way that the buildings appear as if they are pressed together.
The Tampa Bay chapter of the American Institute of Architects presented the 2002 H. Dean Rowe FAIA Award of Excellence to Hoffman Architects for the museum design. On April 18, 2012, the American Institute of Architects' Florida Chapter placed the museum building on its list, "Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places"

Assembly of the Frozen LEGO set, Parts Bag #2, consisting of the first floor of the Ice Castle. It has the kitchen and Ice Cream Parlor, spiral staircase, and tree with hanging icicles.
I got the new LEGO Disney Princess Elsa's Sparkling Ice Castle from one of my local Target stores on Sunday December 14, 2014. It's official release date is January 1, 2015, but it started appearing in Target stores in the US several days ago. It costs $39.99, has 292 parts, and is Set 41062. It consists of a three story Ice Castle, Anna, Elsa and Olaf mini figures, a picnic table, a sled, ice skates, skis, an ice hill (slide), and various other accessories.
There are two instruction booklets, that are extensively illustrated, and three plastic bags with the parts. There was also a couple of items not in the bags. I am very impressed with the quality of the set, which is my very first by LEGO. The Anna, Elsa and Olaf figures all require assembly. Their faces are painted very well, but of course are in the Lego style. They are about 2'' high (when assembled), and there is an actual size image of the Elsa figure on the box top.
I show the set boxed, disassembled, and during the assembly. Then I show several scenes inspired by the movie Frozen, using the assembled set.
New Mini Princess Doll Set #2 - Boxed
Belle Tiana Aurora Pocahontas
Not yet released by the Disney Store.
Promo images of the Disney Store Mini Princess Doll Sets, both old (sold 2010-2011, and sold out a few months ago) and new (yet to be released). They are sold in two boxed sets of 4 Disney Princess dolls each, so they had to decide which 8 out of the 10 princesses were to be included, and which 2 were to be left out.
The dolls are listed by the Disney Store as 6'' tall. But actually they are 5'' tall, from heel to top of head. They are all on point (as if they are ballerinas) and measure 5 1/2" tall from their toes to the top of their heads. They have jointed necks, shoulders, hips and knees. The knee joints are not visible as they are inside flexible legs. Their faces, hair and costumes are close facsimiles of the 12'' dolls of the current Disney Princess Classic Film Collection 10 piece boxed set, which is still for sale at the Disney Store.
The old set is called the Enchanting Mini Princess Collection. Set #1 consisted of Cinderella, Snow White, Jasmine and Rapunzel. Released by the Disney Store in late 2010. Sold out in July 2011. Set #2 consisted of Mulan, Belle, Aurora and Tiana. Released by the Disney Store in late 2010. Sold out in September 2011.
The new set is called the Mini Princess Doll Set. Set #1 has Mulan, Cinderella, Jasmine and Snow White. Set #2 has Belle, Tiana, Aurora and Pocahontas. They have yet to be sold, but these images were found on the Disney Store site.
Notice that they have replaced Rapunzel (in the old set) by Pocahontas (in the new set). Missing in the old set were Ariel and Pocahontas. Missing in the new set are Ariel and Rapunzel. I guess they figure people who want a mini Rapunzel doll can get the currently available Rapunzel Mini Doll Play Set. And Ariel is sold as a mini doll in the currently available the Ariel Mini Doll Play Set, and also in a set with her mermaid sisters (currently sold out).
Also, in comparing the images, the dolls that are in common with the two sets look to be of identical construction. So they are just repackaging the same dolls, except for the replacement of Rapunzel by Pocahontas.

Finances cantonales - ETS 2 livre ses premiers résultats
ETS 2 livre ses premiers résultats. Lancé au printemps 2014, ETS 2 consiste en un audit des tâches et du personnel des institutions paraétatiques ainsi que des pouvoirs législatif, exécutif et judiciaire. Pour réaliser cet audit, l’Etat du Valais s’appuie sur une analyse de l’institut BAKBASEL. Ce benchmarking intercantonal démontre qu’en Valais les coûts par habitant correspondent à la moyenne nationale. Ils sont par contre supérieurs de 2% en comparaison avec des cantons similaires. Malgré ce résultat, l’analyse du BAKBASEL, confirmée par les projections cantonales, montre que des mesures sont indispensables pour équilibrer dans la durée les finances cantonales. L’objectif des moyens financiers à dégager dans le cadre d’ETS 2 a été fixé à 120 millions de francs.
Unfortunately this will be one of the last shots taken of this all SD40-2 consist as is. The managers decided to have 499 lift a ratty, rusty AC44 and completely swap around power between 499 and 496.

"Located 20m to the North of Pit 1 at the Eastern end, Pit 2 is in "L" shape. This pit was discovered in April 1976, covering an area of 6,000sq.m. It measures 124m long from East to West, 98m wide from North to South and 5m deep.
Different from Pit 1, Pit 2 consists of mixed military forces in four arrays: archers, war chariots, cavalrymen and infantrymen. The four arrays seemed to exist independently, but could be assembled immediately to constitute a complete battle formation during the war times. This reflects the unique strategy of Qin military affairs.
The excavation work of Pit 2 is still continuing. At present a large area of the remnants of the roof beams and small part of the pottery warriors and horses are being exhibited in the pit. It is a rare chance for visitors to enjoy the archaeological digging at the site" -- The Museum of the Terracotta Army

Bangladesh Institute of Peace and Security Studies (BIPSS) under the auspices of its specialised centre -- Bangladesh Centre for Terrorism Research (BCTR), organised a three day National Workshop titled “Countering Violent Extremism (CVE): Building Resilience and Capacity”, from the 28th to 30th of March 2017. The workshop incorporated participants from multiple stakeholders, including first responders, law enforcement & security agencies, paramilitary forces, media personnel, civil society associates, youth representatives and so on. The event is part of a series of capacity and awareness building interventions that BIPSS and BCTR will be undertaking over a multi-year period, supported by the Government of Canada.
The conference began with the President of BIPSS, Major General ANM Muniruzzaman (retd.) highlighting the need for comprehensive awareness of CVE here in Bangladesh. The first presentation for Day 1 was delivered by Shafqat Munir, Research Fellow, BIPSS & BCTR, on “CVE: A Primer”. The following presentation was made by Chiran Jung Thapa, an independent Security and Defense Analyst on “Violent Extremism: Understanding the Threat Landscape.”
Day 2 consisted of a thought-invoking presentation by Syed Zain Al Mahmood, who covers Bangladesh and other South Asian regional news for The Wall Street Journal, on “The Role of Media in CVE” and another on “Cyber Radicalisation” by Sameer Patil, Fellow, National Security Studies & Director, Centre for International Security, Gateway House.
All presentations featured engaging Q/A sessions. For Day 3, a tabletop exercise kicked off the morning, that created an interactive discussion on the various aspects of #CVE from a nuanced participatory demographic, ranging from groups discussing Media to Cyber.
The event concluded with a certificate awarding ceremony, where the participants were honoured for their involvement by H.E. Benoit-Pierre Laramee, High Commissioner of Canada in Bangladesh, who graced the event as the Chief Guest with Professor Abu Zayed Mohammad, Research Fellow at BIPSS, giving the vote of thanks.
