CSX 2625 and 5353 intercept traffic on Tarragona Street as they hook up to a pair of boxcars spotted on the spur to W.R. Taylor Company. Since W.R. Taylor only has one unloading spot, the crew will pull both cars from the siding, re-spot the load and take the empty car back to Goulding yard. This unique switching operation takers place as needed but sometimes as often as twice a week, depending on demand, but almost always at night. This day the crew wanted to stay ahead of an approaching storm and had no cars to switch around at the port, and thus they managed to get to W.R. Taylor just as dusk started to set in. While this type of scene might have been commonplace 50 years ago, nowadays this operation is one of only a handful of instances left in the entire country where a carload customer is switched out from street running trackage.

Official building at Rathausstrasse, MUSA museum on demand.
The starting point for the Museum on Demand was the exhibition Moved to Light , curated in April 1991 by Wolfgang Hilger, art advisor in the cultural department of the City of Vienna from 1985 to 2003 . A museum on demand in the Volkshalle of the Vienna City Hall.
The Museum on Demand was planned as a flexible exhibition concept that could be presented at any location and was available "on demand" at any time.

Float Homes in Mosquito Creek Marina, North Vancouver
Float homes [...] feature truly waterfront living with ocean or river views at a fraction of the price. Neighbours include herons, sea lions, bald eagles and many other forms of wildlife. While this style of living may not be for everyone, they do come in single family, apartments/condos, custom built or modular, prefabricated options. New models include the usual home amenities such as stainless-steel appliances, heated floors, soaker tubs, on-demand water heaters, and even rooftop decks. They follow stringent building codes, fire safety and environmental standards demanded by local, provincial and federal authorities. (Anne McMullin, Vancouver Courier)

Times Square est un quartier de la ville de New York, situé dans l'arrondissement de Manhattan, qui tire son nom de l'ancien siège du New York Times. Situé entre la 42e rue et Broadway, il comprend les blocs (pâtés d'immeubles) situés entre la Sixième et la Neuvième Avenue d'est en ouest d'une part, et d'autres part les blocs entre les 3e à 52e rue du sud au nord. Il constitue la partie ouest du quartier commerçant de Midtown.
Surnommé "Crossroads of the world" (le "carrefour du monde" en français), Times Square est l'un des endroits les plus célèbres et les plus animés au monde, à l'instar de Shibuya à Tokyo, des Champs-Élysées à Paris ou de Piccadilly Circus à Londres : environ 500 000 personnes s'y croisent chaque jour.
Les théâtres de Broadway et le nombre important de néons publicitaires ou autres écrans géants en ont fait un des symboles de New York et représentatif de l'urbanisme de Manhattan. Times Square est le seul quartier dans lequel on demande aux gérants et aux propriétaires d'afficher des publicités lumineuses.
The 1961 Chrysler 300G was the final year for fins on the 300, marking the end of Virgil Exner's FlightSweep designs, but they did go out in a grand way!
Chrysler's first-generation Letter Cars hammered the competition during the 1955-'56 NASCAR seasons. The full-size fliers then went on to set speed records at Daytona in '57, prior to both the AMA ban on motorsports and NASCAR's embargo on elaborate fuel delivery systems. In spite of those two apparent setbacks, Chrysler continued to improve its top-of-the- line V-8 engine as well as the now-legendary luxury performance machine that engine came wrapped in. So, the mighty Letter Cars thundered on, in production form, at the command of well-heeled owners seeking grown-up thrills. By 1961, Chrysler had moved up the alphabet to the letter "G."
The post-'57 Letter Cars were no longer eligible for circle track racing, but the 300G was still a force to be reckoned with in street trim, thanks to performance equipment that not only sounded good—413 cubic inches, Cross-Ram, dual four-barrels—but backed it up with 375 or an optional 400 horsepower, delivering a 0-60-mph time of 8.2 seconds (Motor Life, April 1961). Though not the fastest time turned by contemporary road test periodicals, it occurred during a period when most full-size cars could barely achieve 60 mph in less than 10 or 11 seconds while simultaneously maintaining an air of luxury.
Today, the 1961 300G is among the legion of groundbreaking Mopar performance cars, respected for its stunning combination of power and styling. Its value is bolstered by low production numbers— just 1,280 hardtops and 337 convertibles were built. These cars remain in the upper stratosphere of postwar American collector cars, but prices in recent years have held steady. Is this your time to grab one of the few remaining pieces of Letter Car history? Here's what you should keep in mind when you begin to shop.
The Cross-Ram Induction system's 30-inch "Long Rams" hide the big 413 V-8 from view.
Engines
Chrysler engineers specified a 413-cu.in. wedge to go under the hood of every 300G. Introduced into the RB-Series of V-8s in 1959, the 413 had a 4.18-inch bore and a 3.75-inch stroke with a forged-steel crankshaft. Compression was advertised as 10.1:1 and the cylinder heads breathed through 2.08/1.60-inch intake/exhaust valves, while a .430-inch lift, 268-degree camshaft dictated valve action. Also included was a pair of Carter AFB four-barrel carburetors. There were, however, two versions of the 413 installed, which were differentiated by the intake manifolds.
Referred to as Ram Induction and initially appearing in 1960, the elongated aluminum intakes were designed based on much older principles involving resonance and its effect on a compression wave of, in this case, the fuel/air mixture. Though we won't go into greater depth regarding the physics here, intake tube length had a direct effect on the timing of the fuel delivery, or ramming, into each cylinder bore, maximizing engine output at certain rpm ranges.
A pair of Carter AFB four-barrel carburetors provide the fuel/air mix.
With these basics in mind, expansion of midrange output was the main target of the base 300G 413 and the engineers thus calculated 30-inch runners would be ideal. Referred to as the Long Ram intakes, they were designed to fit neatly under the hood and crisscross (hence the Cross Ram moniker) over the top of the engine, each fitted with a single four-barrel carburetor at the outboard location. In this configuration, the engine hit 375 hp at 5,000 rpm and 495 lb-ft of torque at 2,800 rpm, effectively providing passing power on demand without sacrificing full-throttle acceleration.
Optional was the high-performance Short Ram version. Though this intake system looked identical to the Long Ram at first blush, the separate internal runners measured only 15 inches in length, raising the engine's power band and enabling it to make peak horsepower at 5,200 rpm, with peak torque at 3,600 rpm. This meant that Chrysler's advertised Short Ram ratings were 400 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque.
Visually, a keen eye can spot the difference between the Long and Short Ram intakes. The Long Rams feature a visible valley between each pair of runners for the entire length; they also have a seven-digit casting number that begins with "19." Short Rams sport only a partial valley between runners; their seven-digit casting number begins with "21." Finally, Short Ram 413 engines were designed for those more interested in straight-line contests and are therefore the rarer of the two.
Transmissions
Backing either engine was the already-durable 727 TorqueFlite automatic, which was issued as standard equipment. Like other Chryslers of the day, the three-speed unit was shifted via pushbutton on the dash; it contained first and second gear ratios of 2.45:1 and 1.45:1, respectively. Replacing the French-made four-speed on the option chart was a floor-shifted three-speed manual, which is a relative rarity today. First and second gear ratios were 2.55:1 and 1.49:1; the two gears were not synchronized, making for some uncomfortable downshifts for the uninitiated. Furthermore, contemporary road tests complained of a long second-to-third gate while hinting that the better performer in transferring torque to the differential was the TorqueFlite.
Swivel front seats, upholstered in ventilated leather, were standard on the 300G.
Differential
The final transfer point for the torque from either engine was a standard 8.-inch open differential with semi-floating axles and a 3.23:1 final drive ratio, although some printed material suggests that a 3.15:1 ratio was employed when the three-speed manual was installed. While this unit was known for its durability, dealers were also able to provide a number of more highway-friendly or performance-oriented grear ratios, even if the optional Sure-Grip (positive traction) unit was installed on the assembly line.
Contemporary magazines reported an average mpg rating of 9 to 13 with a three-speed/3.23 arrangement, yet in terms of power off the line, both Motor Trend (8.3-second 0-60 mph) and Motor Life (8.2 seconds) stated that the 300G had more acceleration potential waiting to be unleashed if geared accordingly.
The center console provided some storage and housed a tachometer.
Chassis
Each 300G hardtop and convertible was derived from the New Yorker, which meant they shared the same basic unit-body/subframe platform and 126-inch wheelbase; however, the similarities were limited beyond that. For instance, though an independent front torsion bar suspension system was used, the 44 x 1.08-inch torsion bars were thicker and 40 percent stiffer than those on other Chryslers, rated for 175 lb-in. The same can be said of the rear semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, rated for 135 lb-in (or 50 percent stiffer) than those on the New Yorker. For reference, the rear springs were comprised of seven leaves, measuring 60 x 2.50 inches. Power steering, with its 15.7:1 gear ratio, was also standard equipment, as were heavy-duty shocks.
In short, the chassis was engineered and better suited for high-speed highway travel and maneuverability rather than a short drive across the city. It could also handle short, quarter-mile blasts if, as discussed, geared accordingly.
Brakes
Although equipment upgrades were made in other areas, the hydraulic drum-brake system was the same as found in the New Yorker series. Drum brakes, measuring 12 x 2.50-inches, were utilized at each corner. Power assist was standard, so stopping the roughly 4,200-pound performer was easier; however, as with other drumbrake systems, each corner needed to be adjusted equally to prevent directional pull during sudden stops. Additionally, Chrysler employed two wheel cylinders per front assembly—a fact to keep in mind when seeking replacement parts.
Wheels and Tires
Unlike the previous 300F, the new 300G was bestowed with larger 15 x 6-inch pressed-steel wheels, which were then shod with 8.00-15 Goodyear Blue Streak "racing-type" tires that featured white sidewalls. According to one report, the width of the whitewall itself ranged from 3- to 3 3/16-inches. Vented "300" wheel covers completed the ensemble, and no options were available.
Body and Interior
Styling updates made to the '61 Chryslers, including the 300G, probably did more to generate higher sales than printed virtues touting the fleet's combination of power and comfort, marking the end of Virgil Exner's FlightSweep designs. The changes began with a complete revamp of the front end, where the grille was simply inverted. The top-to-bottom inward canted grille sides were harmoniously complemented by equally canted quad headlamps, running lamps, and bumper ends, while also matching the angle of the rear fins— which were also slightly redesigned. At the opposite end, the faux spare tire decklid inlay was scrapped, providing a cleaner expanse of sleek sheetmetal. Other than appropriate badging denoting the letter "G," little else appeared to change on the 219.8-inch-long body; the greenhouse and rear fenders were carry-over items, with the exception of the leading edge of the fins found on each door.
Interiors remained exquisitely plush. A full-length, front-to-rear tunneled center console divided the interior in two, creating four truly individual buckets seats wrapped in ventilated leather. Those front seats retained the swivel feature, making for easy ingress/egress, while the console was trimmed with ample amounts of chrome and padded armrests that flipped open to expose additional storage areas. The console also housed optional power window controls, ashtrays, and a tachometer.
Primary instruments resided in a dome-like, easy-to-read bubble; potential glare concerns were eliminated by means of a matching padded dash arch. The transmission's pushbutton controls resided to the left of the instrument cluster, balanced by radio, heat, and air controls to the right. Comfort and convenience options included power seats, power antenna, rear window defroster, and air conditioning.

Conditions de prises de vues très diificiles dans cette cathédrale, peu de lumière.
L’orgue de la cathédrale Saint-Bertrand de Comminges possède l’un des plus beaux buffets Renaissance conservé à ce jour et classé Monument Historique depuis 1840. Commandé par Jean de Mauléon, évêque du Comminges, il fut réalisé après l’achèvement des stalles du chœur en 1551.
Comme les stalles, ce buffet serait l’œuvre de Nicolas Bachelier, architecte et sculpteur français (1487 – 1556) à qui l’on doit, entre autre, le célèbre Hôtel d’Assézat à Toulouse.
Le nom du facteur et la composition d’origine de l’instrument nous sont inconnus. Il subira de nombreux avatars au cours des siècles et, en 1793, les tuyaux de montre seront fondus et l’instrument abandonné.
De l’instrument Renaissance enfermé dans ce buffet, il ne reste rien. Pour imaginer en quoi pouvait consister l’instrument commandé par Jean de Mauléon, évêque du Comminges, on en est réduit à formuler des hypothèses, en se référant d’une part à la composition connue d’orgues de cette époque, à la structure du buffet, et d’autre part, à la littérature pour clavier éditée autour des années 1550. Les parties les plus anciennes (2 sommiers de grand orgue de 48 notes et deux petits sommiers de pédale, plus quelques jeux anciens, bourdons et flûtes) remontent aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles.
Bernard Raupp, facteur d’orgues à Mirande, a retrouvé des dessins sur des soupapes des sommiers de grand orgue, qui peuvent être attribués à Jean-François Lépine. Le reste résulte des reconstructions successives menées au cours des siècles suivants.
En 1896, les frères Magen reconstruisent l’orgue et livrent un instrument à 2 claviers et pédale.
En 1970, Robert Chauvin restaure les sommiers du Grand Orgue, puis sous la direction de Pierre Lacroix, la reconstruction de l’instrument actuel est confiée à Jean-Pierre Swiderski et réalisée en plusieurs tranches, de 1975 à 1981. À l’exception de 218 tuyaux du XVIIe siècle et de 243 tuyaux de Magen, la tuyauterie est entièrement neuve. Réalisée à la demande, elle a été harmonisée par Jean-Pierre Swiderski pour les jeux de fonds et Georges Lhôte pour les jeux d’anches. L’instrument conserve encore deux sommiers de 14 jeux au Grand Orgue et deux sommiers 4 jeux à la pédale remontant au XVIIe siècle.
Depuis 1974, la commune de Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, propriétaire, a délégué ses pouvoirs à l’Association des Amis de l’Orgue de Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, en vue de la restauration et de l’entretien de l’instrument.
Very difficult shooting conditions in this cathedral, little light.
The organ of the Saint-Bertrand de Comminges cathedral has one of the most beautiful Renaissance cases preserved to date and classified as a Historic Monument since 1840. Commissioned by Jean de Mauléon, bishop of Comminges, it was made after the completion of the stalls of the choir in 1551.
Like the stalls, this buffet would be the work of Nicolas Bachelier, French architect and sculptor (1487 – 1556) to whom we owe, among other things, the famous Hôtel d’Assézat in Toulouse.
The name of the maker and the original composition of the instrument are unknown to us. It will undergo many avatars over the centuries and, in 1793, the watch stems will be melted down and the instrument abandoned.
Of the Renaissance instrument enclosed in this case, nothing remains. To imagine what the instrument ordered by Jean de Mauléon, bishop of Comminges, could consist of, one is reduced to formulating hypotheses, by referring on the one hand to the known composition of organs of this period, to the structure of the buffet, and on the other hand, to keyboard literature published around the 1550s. in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Bernard Raupp, organ builder in Mirande, found drawings on the valves of the windchests of the great organ, which can be attributed to Jean-François Lépine. The rest is the result of successive reconstructions carried out over the following centuries.
In 1896, the Magen brothers rebuilt the organ and delivered an instrument with 2 keyboards and pedal.
In 1970, Robert Chauvin restored the windchests of the Grand Orgue, then under the direction of Pierre Lacroix, the reconstruction of the current instrument was entrusted to Jean-Pierre Swiderski and carried out in several stages, from 1975 to 1981. With the exception of 218 pipes from the 17th century and 243 pipes from Magen, the pipework is completely new. Produced on demand, it was harmonized by Jean-Pierre Swiderski for the back stops and Georges Lhôte for the reed stops. The instrument still retains two 14-stop windchests in the Grand Orgue and two 4-stop pedal windchests dating back to the 17th century.
Since 1974, the municipality of Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, owner, has delegated its powers to the Association of Friends of the Organ of Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, with a view to the restoration and maintenance of the tool.
Mack celebrates his 15th birthday today. He's spending the day outside. I think our neighbors almost consider him "homeless" because he's always outside but that is by choice. I used to wonder if Mack would have preferred being re-released after the animal control officer brought him, Jimmy and their mom into our practice. But then I remember just how much Mack loves a certain puffy comforter my mom gave us, his heated mat in winter, being inside when it rains, having doormen/doorwomen opening doors for him, serving him food on demand, freshening his water multiple times a day... He loves being outside when the weather is nice but he also likes the finer things in life.

Mighty Lion - Astro Cruise
View the full series: benheine.com/astro-cruise
Prints, Exhibitions and HD on demand
In the vast expanse of space and time,
A mighty lion appeared, his voice sublime.
He longed to find a new place to dwell,
Somewhere in the universe, where he could excel.
He roamed the galaxies, without a care,
A king of beasts, with his golden hair.
His roar echoed through the cosmos wide,
A search for a new life, a place to reside.
He traveled far and wide, through starry skies,
A blaze of fur, with fierce amber eyes.
He searched for a world, both strong and free,
Where he could reign, with boundless glee.
He roared to the heavens, with all his might,
A plea for a world, that felt just right.
Then one day, he found a world so rare,
A place that answered, to his every prayer.

"Unique attraction, opened somewhere in the 1800s. A small Gothic House was erected for a fisherman to live next to the pond, to stock it, guard it, keep the fish healthy and be ready to bring fish, mainly cod, to the cook at the Laird's House on demand. The house, with one bedroom and a Gothic tower entrance direct to the pond, was build using stone, blasted from the basin of the pond."

Device enables direct communication among multiple quantum processors
MIT researchers developed a photon-shuttling “interconnect” that can facilitate remote entanglement, a key step toward a practical quantum computer.

Quantum computers have the potential to solve complex problems that would be impossible for the most powerful classical supercomputer to crack.
Just like a classical computer has separate, yet interconnected, components that must work together, such as a memory chip and a CPU on a motherboard, a quantum computer will need to communicate quantum information between multiple processors.
Current architectures used to interconnect superconducting quantum processors are “point-to-point” in connectivity, meaning they require a series of transfers between network nodes, with compounding error rates.
On the way to overcoming these challenges, MIT researchers developed a new interconnect device that can support scalable, “all-to-all” communication, such that all superconducting quantum processors in a network can communication directly with each other.
They created a network of two quantum processors and used their interconnect to send microwave photons back and forth on demand in a user-defined direction. Photons are particles of light that can carry quantum information.
The device includes a superconducting wire, or waveguide, that shuttles photons between processors and can be routed as far as needed. The researchers can couple any number of modules to it, efficiently transmitting information between a scalable network of processors.
They used this interconnect to demonstrate remote entanglement, a type of correlation between quantum processors that are not physically connected. Remote entanglement is a key step toward developing a powerful, distributed network of many quantum processors.
“In the future, a quantum computer will probably need both local and nonlocal interconnects. Local interconnects are natural in arrays of superconducting qubits. Ours allows for more nonlocal connections. We can send photons at different frequencies, times, and in two propagation directions, which gives our network more flexibility and throughput,” says Aziza Almanakly, an electrical engineering and computer science graduate student in the Engineering Quantum Systems group of the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) and lead author of a paper on the interconnect.
Her co-authors include Beatriz Yankelevich, a graduate student in the EQuS Group; senior author William D. Oliver, the Henry Ellis Warren (1894) Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and professor of Physics, director of the Center for Quantum Engineering, and associate director of RLE; and others at MIT and Lincoln Laboratory. The research appears today in Nature Physics.
A scalable architecture
The researchers previously developed a quantum computing module, which enabled them to send information-carrying microwave photons in either direction along a waveguide.
In the new work, they took that architecture a step further by connecting two modules to a waveguide in order to emit photons in a desired direction and then absorb them at the other end.
Each module is composed of four qubits, which serve as an interface between the waveguide carrying the photons and the larger quantum processors.
The qubits coupled to the waveguide emit and absorb photons, which are then transferred to nearby data qubits.
The researchers use a series of microwave pulses to add energy to a qubit, which then emits a photon. Carefully controlling the phase of those pulses enables a quantum interference effect that allows them to emit the photon in either direction along the waveguide. Reversing the pulses in time enables a qubit in another module any arbitrary distance away to absorb the photon.
“Pitching and catching photons enables us to create a ‘quantum interconnect’ between nonlocal quantum processors, and with quantum interconnects comes remote entanglement,” explains Oliver.
“Generating remote entanglement is a crucial step toward building a large-scale quantum processor from smaller-scale modules. Even after that photon is gone, we have a correlation between two distant, or ‘nonlocal,’ qubits. Remote entanglement allows us to take advantage of these correlations and perform parallel operations between two qubits, even though they are no longer connected and may be far apart,” Yankelevich explains.
However, transferring a photon between two modules is not enough to generate remote entanglement. The researchers need to prepare the qubits and the photon so the modules “share” the photon at the end of the protocol.
Generating entanglement
The team did this by halting the photon emission pulses halfway through their duration. In quantum mechanical terms, the photon is both retained and emitted. Classically, one can think that half-a-photon is retained and half is emitted.
Once the receiver module absorbs that “half-photon,” the two modules become entangled.
But as the photon travels, joints, wire bonds, and connections in the waveguide distort the photon and limit the absorption efficiency of the receiving module.
To generate remote entanglement with high enough fidelity, or accuracy, the researchers needed to maximize how often the photon is absorbed at the other end.
“The challenge in this work was shaping the photon appropriately so we could maximize the absorption efficiency,” Almanakly says.
They used a reinforcement learning algorithm to “predistort” the photon. The algorithm optimized the protocol pulses in order to shape the photon for maximal absorption efficiency.
When they implemented this optimized absorption protocol, they were able to show photon absorption efficiency greater than 60 percent.
This absorption efficiency is high enough to prove that the resulting state at the end of the protocol is entangled, a major milestone in this demonstration.
“We can use this architecture to create a network with all-to-all connectivity. This means we can have multiple modules, all along the same bus, and we can create remote entanglement among any pair of our choosing,” Yankelevich says.
In the future, they could improve the absorption efficiency by optimizing the path over which the photons propagate, perhaps by integrating modules in 3D instead of having a superconducting wire connecting separate microwave packages. They could also make the protocol faster so there are fewer chances for errors to accumulate.
“In principle, our remote entanglement generation protocol can also be expanded to other kinds of quantum computers and bigger quantum internet systems,” Almanakly says.
