O submarino NRP Barracuda (S164), da classe Albacora, encontra-se em exposição permanente no polo museológico de Cacilhas, em Almada, desde maio de 2024. Esta embarcação, construída em França segundo o projeto Daphné e com cerca de 57 metros de comprimento, serviu a Marinha Portuguesa durante 42 anos, entre 1968 e 2010, participando em diversas missões de patrulhamento, treino e guerra anti-submarina. Desativado após décadas de serviço, o Barracuda foi transformado em navio-museu, oferecendo aos visitantes a oportunidade de explorar o seu interior, conhecer as condições de vida de uma tripulação de 54 homens e testemunhar a complexidade da engenharia submarina. Localizado no Cais do Ginjal, em doca seca, partilha o espaço com a fragata D. Fernando II e Glória, enriquecendo o património naval português e proporcionando uma perspetiva única sobre a história e a tecnologia da defesa marítima nacional.
The Albacora-class submarine NRP Barracuda (S164) has been on permanent display at the Cacilhas museum complex in Almada since May 2024. This vessel, built in France according to the Daphné project and measuring approximately 57 meters in length, served the Portuguese Navy for 42 years, between 1968 and 2010, participating in various patrol, training, and anti-submarine warfare missions. Decommissioned after decades of service, the Barracuda was transformed into a museum ship, offering visitors the opportunity to explore its interior, learn about the living conditions of a crew of 54 men, and witness the complexity of submarine engineering. Located at Cais do Ginjal, in dry dock, it shares the space with the frigate D. Fernando II e Glória, enriching Portugal's naval heritage and providing a unique perspective on the history and technology of national maritime defense.
Yesterday, I had the utmost pleasure of finally graduating at The University of Sheffield, with a 2:1 Honours MEng in Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering.
First and foremost, I cannot thank my parents enough for their financial support and moral encouragement throughout the eighteen years of being a student, filled with many ups and downs. You have my utmost gratitude and no words I could say could show you how much you mean to me.
Next, my siblings, my truest confidants, and my backbone, who mean the world to me. I love you with all my heart.
My friends, near and far, close comrades and mere acquaintances. It has been an honour to have you in my life, painting the ever-growing mural of friendship one memory at a time. It has truly been a roller coaster and I am thankful you shared this ride with me. And special thanks go to my many lecturers and teachers, whose efforts and tireless dedication have helped craft my very consciousness.
And last, but certainly not least, to Allah Most Gracious, Most Merciful, for humbling me with his generosity and blessing me with the opportunities I have seized.
I am truly blessed.

The Engineering Building (1959–1963) was the first major building by British architects James Stirling and James Gowan. This Grade II* listed building comprises workshops and laboratories at ground level, and a tower containing offices and lecture theatres.
The building is part of the Red Trilogy by James Stirling. Beginning in the late 1950s, the architect designed three university buildings featuring distinctly red materials: red bricks and red tiles. The Red Trilogy includes the Engineering Building, University of Leicester (1959–1963), the Faculty of History, University of Cambridge (1964–1967), and the Florey Building, The Queen's College, Oxford (1966–1971). James Stirling and James Gowan worked together on the design for the Engineering Building. The Trilogy's two later buildings were designed by Stirling, without Gowan.
The Engineering Building is a large and complex structure. Stirling and Gowan were tasked to design spaces for offices, laboratories, auditorium, and workshops with heavy machinery. The design also includes a water tank on top. The workshops are located in the low-rise section of the building, in a hall with a rectangular floor plan. Connected to the workshop hall is the tower, which houses auditorium, offices, and laboratories. The water tank sits on top of the tower. The tower section is notable for its chamfered edges and its prismatic geometry. The auditorium is located at the base of the tower. The auditoriums seating arrangement is designed typically stadium-like with staggered rows of seats. The angled auditorium floor results in a pronounced wedge-shape on the building's exterior. The tower's facades are clad in glass and red tiles, the workshop hall's facade is entirely made of frosted glass.
A unique feature of the workshop hall is its roof construction. The roof's geometry is rotated by 45 degrees in respect to the floor plan's orientation. This results in a unique jagged roof line and a diamond-pattern-like perimeter. The roof appears as a series of multiple translucent prisms. The translucent effect was achieved by lining the glass panes with fibre-glass. Other parts of the glass shell are completely opaque, in contrast. Here, the glass panes were coated with a thin layer of aluminium.
Stirling and Gowan were commissioned in 1957. The design is dated to 1959. Construction lasted from 1960 to 1963. The consulting structural engineer was Frank Newby.

To boldly go where no "fan" has gone before... you need a good warp and of course a clean and well maintained engineering room. So here's Scotty's kingdom where everything is possible even fixing the core with an old spoon ;D
The Science & Engineering Fair of Houston is one of the largest regional science fairs in the country.
In 1985, as an eighth-grade student, Branden entered the contest. His project dealt with determining the depositional environment of water bodies by the type of sands collected.
He placed third in his category. We were very proud of him!

West Palm Beach / Jul 11, 2022
25-story building set to bring a new class of luxury to office sector in 2024.
Related Companies today announced six top-ranking firms to expand their footprint into West Palm Beach’s forthcoming Class-A office One Flagler. Situated at the gateway to Palm Beach Island and connecting West Palm Beach's past and future, the building continues to attract a selection of the nation’s most influential financial and professional services firms.
Built on Related’s legacy of elegance, style and service, the building is expected to open at the beginning of 2024 with the most prestigious WiredScore Platinum rating, the world’s only internationally recognized digital connectivity rating platform.
Today, the building is nearly 60 percent pre-leased including:
GTCR, a leading private equity firm founded in 1980, will expand its existing presence in the market by opening a new West Palm Beach office. Their new office is expected to open in mid-2024. GTCR is headquartered in Chicago and has an office in New York. Colliers, Ryan Barr, Alain LeCoque and Bob Schneiderman, represented GTCR.
Diameter Capital Partners, a global credit-focused asset manager headquartered in New York, will move its West Palm Beach office to the building. The move is expected to be completed in mid-2024.
Four additional confidential firms spread across the financial services and pharmaceutical industries.
These companies join First Republic Bank and private equity firm Siris Capital and represent 50,000+ square feet of new leases.
“The expansion of our presence in West Palm Beach into this new space reflects our growth as a firm and our continued confidence in the region as a business and investing center,” said Collin Roche, co-CEO and managing director of GTCR. “The West Palm Beach market offers a unique and differentiated option for talent and diversity and building our footprint further in the city will allow us to compete for the best people. The space at Related’s One Flagler will create a dynamic environment for further collaboration within our teams and with members of the growing investment community in the area.”
“We are pleased to welcome a high caliber list of significant tenants from leading U.S. markets who believe in the power of West Palm Beach and have witnessed the evolution of the destination as a booming financial district,” said Gopal Rajegowda, partner, Related Southeast.
Designed by world-renowned architect David Childs, One Flagler is a 25-story Class-A office building that will anchor West Palm Beach’s Okeechobee Business District and the Flagler Financial District. It will include 270,000 square feet of flexible office space, 4,100 square feet of retail space, over 10,000 of indoor and outdoor upscale dining led by Estiatorio Milos by Costas Spiliadis and a reading room open to both the public and members of the adjacent First Church of Christ, Scientist. The church, designed by architect Julian Abele in 1928, is considered one of the most architecturally significant buildings in all of Palm Beach County and would be preserved in perpetuity by One Flagler. The project will also feature a living green wall adorning its parking garage and include 1.25 acres of green space extending the waterfront greenbelt.
Related Companies is the visionary firm behind some of the world’s most impactful mixed-use urban neighborhood developments and, in the past few years alone, has created more than eight million square feet of office space for dozens of diverse business leaders across all industries, including WarnerMedia, SAP, Sidewalk Labs, Wells Fargo, KKR, Google, Facebook, Converse and Tapestry. In West Palm Beach, Related has demonstrated a deep understanding of workplace needs with its widely acclaimed CityPlace Tower and a legacy in neighborhood placemaking with the conception of the original CityPlace, now called The Square.

was on my way to work this morning, i noticed this couple building their house ...
the place seemed to me little risky, if the water goes high...but what do i know?! They know better...
the shot is simple, i didn't like to disturb them and get closer...but i was wondering what are those genes telling these animals what to build how to build where to build??? I was amazed by the ability of the swan picking up reed and trying to cut others ...nature is amazing!
