The building of the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Butter and Cheese Making on Krasnoarmeisky Boulevard. Uglich, 1950s
In 1944, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR decided to establish the Central Research Institute of the Cheese Industry on the basis of the laboratory of the Uglich Cheese Factory.
The main task of the institute is defined ... "general and special management of all research work in the field of cheese-making in the USSR."
In 1957, the institute was located in a new
building where it is located to this day.

Repurposed as the Neighbourhood centre is this lovely Mechanics Institute building in the small town of Ballan, near Ballarat. There is an interesting iron sculpture outside the front. I liked the modern signage and solar panels contrasting with the older building sign. Mechanics Insitutes were forerunners of the modern public library plus had skill development /learning as their major purpose. Happy Window Wednesday.

“The Crowning with Thorns” In 1975, when I was an art student at Pratt Institute, I took a printmaking class. My failed attempts at etching has already been posted. Here is the only lithograph I ever did. Luckily we used a metal plate and not stone. I’m not THAT old. I liked lithography better than etching because it was more like drawing with pencil. But, you still couldn’t rework, erase, etc. And it was just too much work. Finding these old pieces of mine are bringing back a lot of memories during this continuing lockdown from the coronavirus.
Causeyside Street, Paisley
The Russell Institute is a building in Paisley, Scotland.
The building was generously donated by Agnes Russell to the Burgh of Paisley as a memorial to her two brothers, Thomas and Robert Russell, who passed away in 1913 and 1920 respectively. Initially, it served as a child welfare clinic, but today, Renfrewshire Council utilizes it as a multi purpose facility.

"The original Leongatha Mechanics' Institute was erected on the Memorial Hall site in 1891. The present building, consisting of two large rooms and a billiard saloon, was opened by The Hon J.E. Mackey on 26 March 1912. It functioned as a library, meeting room and billiard room until 1982. The Leongatha and District Historical Society was given the use of the building by the Shire of Woorayl in 1983."

"Beneath the commonwealth, there is a cancer known as the institute. A malignant growth which must be cut, before it affects the surface. They are experimenting with dangerous technologies, and could prove to be the worlds undoing a second time."
At first glance, the galaxy NGC 4151 looks like an average spiral. Examine its center more closely, though, and you can spot a bright smudge that stands out from the softer glow around it. That point of light marks the location of a supermassive black hole weighing about 40 million times as much as our Sun.
Astronomers will use NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to measure that black hole’s mass. The result might seem like a piece of trivia, but its mass determines how a black hole feeds and affects the surrounding galaxy. And since most galaxies contain a supermassive black hole, learning about this nearby galaxy will improve our understanding of many galaxies across the cosmos.
