The PNNL-developed Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations, or SLIM, offers groundbreaking analytical speed and sensitivity of molecules. It’s capable of analyses orders of magnitude faster than the current technologies commonly used to distinguish the presence, structure, and abundance of different molecules in a sample.
One of the developers, Yehia Ibrahim, is being recognized in April 2019 at Battelle's corporate office for the invention.

This may be the most unusual school I’ve ever seen! I wish I could have gone inside but there was a large field blocking the way. Perhaps after harvest. Thankfully, there is some information about this place thanks to this site:

According to the linked site, the original school burned. So it was replaced with this quonest-like structure. The site has a good description of what the interior looks like.
Apparently the part with the windows has a linoleum floor and the other half has concrete. The author speculates that perhaps the part with windows was the classroom and the other part was for lunch and recreation. There are multiple other rooms for various uses and even bathrooms with flush toilets - which are rare in these old schools. And a kitchen. The author notes there were still paper towels awaiting to be used.
This school closed in 1967, which means my parents could have gone here had they lived in this part of the state. This school was open longer than most I’ve seen. And I imagine it’s in better shape because of the quonset-like design. It’s a fascinating little place!

Museum Louvre Lens, France.
The design, first conceived as part of an international competition in 2006, was created by the Pritzker Prize laureates of SANAA, in collaboration with New York studio Imrey Culbert, landscape designer Catherine Mosbach and museographer Studio Adrien Gardère. The opening for the public was in 2012.
The 360 meter long, steel and glass structure is integrated within a 20 hectare wasteland that was originally used as a coal mine before the 1960s. It is expected to attract 500,000 visitors every year and envisioned to help revitalize the post-industrial town. The choice of placing the museum on a former mine illustrates the intent of the museum to participate in the conversion of the mining area, while retaining the richness of its industrial past. The land presents some slight elevation, the result of excess fill from the mine.
The Japanese architects from SANAA, Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa wanted to avoid creating a dominating fortress, opting instead for a low, easily accessible structure that integrates into the site without imposing on it by its presence. The structure is made up of five building of steel and glass. There are four rectangles and one large square with slightly curved walls whose angles touch. It is reminiscent of the Louvre palace, with its wings laid almost flat. The architects wanted to bring to mind boats on a river coming together to dock gently with each other. The facades are in polished aluminium, in which the park is reflected, ensuring continuity between the museum and the surrounding landscape. The roofs are partially in glass, reflecting a particular advantage to bringing in light, both for exhibiting the works and for being able to the sky from inside the building. Natural light is controlled by means of a concealment device in the roof and interior shades forming the ceiling. Designed as an answer to the vaulted ceiling, the surface retains in its light the change of seasons, hours and exhibitions.
The entire structure of 28,000 m2 extends over 360 m long from one end of a central foyer in transparent glass to the other. Cost: € 150 mio. The buildings located to the East of the entrance – the Grande Galerie and the Glass Pavilion – primarily house the Louvre’s collections. To the West of the entrance is the temporary exhibition gallery and La Scène, a vast – new generation – auditorium, whose programs are in direct relation with the exhibitions. The museum also includes a large, invisible, two level space, buried deep in fill from the site. This space will be dedicated to service functions for the public, but will also be used for storage and logistical functions of the museum. Two independent buildings house the administrative services, to the South, and a restaurant, to the North, thus establishing a link between the museum, the park and the city.

County officials rented a small Jourdanton house for a jail in 1911 after the county seat was moved here from Pleasanton in 1910. A proposal to build a new jail with cells from the old Pleasanton structure was rejected and this reinforced-concrete, brick-clad building with new steel cells was authorized in 1915. This site was purchased that year from W.M. Abernethy (1851-1931), who had served as County Judge from 1901 to 1912. The architect of the 1912 Courthouse, Henry T. Phelps (1881-1945) of San Antonio, was chosen to supervise erection of the jail. The Southern Structural Steel Company of San Antonio was awarded the $20,000 construction contract. An electic blend of architectural elements was highlighted with crenelated towers and hood molds outlining the windows. The first floor housed offices and living quarters for Sheriffs and their families, provided from 1916 to 1959. A gallows room was built on the second floor, though its trap door was never sprung for execution. Standard and specialized cells were partitioned on the second and third floors. Additions were built in 1974, with bricks and detailing carefully matching original patterns. A new jail was built to replace this building in 1982.

Low winter sunlight casts a shadow illuminates windows with closed blinds set in a pale tan cinderblock wall, framed by brown corrugated metal.
Rich Jensen is visiting us in Marfa and he brought us the best present I've ever received, basically. Many hours have been spent actively "zoming"
The interior structure of Salvation Mountain is quite a wonder to behold. A combination of tree limbs, straw bale, plaster and paint keep the whole thing from falling down. A big rain might change things...
