Here is a picture I took from beneath one of those power line towers. I liked how symmetrical it looks from this perspective.
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.

Here we are looking from the South at the old still open excavation of the Souterrain, Earthouse, or Cave. Once within the structure we progress to the Northern Terminus. Unlike many open Souterrains this one still has a roof in situ. The opening dug into the South gives easy access to the underground structure that ends in a rounded apse like terminus. The passage walls corbel in from each side to help bridge the gap that is spanned by the large well fitting roof slabs. The retreat from the elemental exterior into the subterranean structure gives a sense of separation and an expectation of purpose.
The contrast between the sky and roof both missing and present gives insight into the exterior and interior with thoughts about the safety and seclusion created in this structure. Safety from harsh climate, from attack maybe even seclusion to gather stores and to preserve seeds, or to gather thoughts and to preserve traditions in a place where it is possible to generate controllable experiences. It seems natural to look up to the sky and down to the ground generating links between the above and below as we find it and as we experience it.
The passage available today describes a letter 'U' shape. The Northern entrance is very compact looking like an unusable creep passage from a Fogu. The imposing inner lintel looks like part of an impressive internal frame. Some of the roof stones seem patterned, some not. The whole experience of this place is of having a hidden retreat that was once kept secret and now is shrouded in mystery with too few clues to reveal it's age and purpose, yet nothing left unknown can take away from the inspiration that this site so readily arouses.
This is part of a series of films that I have made to record my decline in mind and body. I am fighting physical and mental challenges that are taking over me in many ways. As a user and fan of technology I am thrilled when some of the medications and therapies I am working with have virtual and online features. I have decided to record some films for me and I happy to share them with others. My aim is to see if there is anything useful to me, or to others in the recordings as they progress. My life outlook is changes day to day and through the climatic conditions of the seasons. My decline and decrepitude in Winter is longer and harder each year. Something in these records might give me hope, insight, a nudge along a path towards a better life. Currently I am failing terribly to make good life choices and to care for my worsening condition as I am not able to monitor, or to realise them.
This film was made on a good day. It was edited over several good days. The out cuts include many mistakes. On bad days filming and editing are not possible. I am very happy to share my perceptions with anyone else battling dementia, arthritis, diabetes, glandular fever, Central Nervous System Diseases & Nerve Disorders, immune deficiency and all the lovely and less than lovely allied complications. Please do send any suggestions you have to further this project. Hopefully this series of films will bring forth some good.
I am very happy to further clarify anything mentioned in this production. The information given here is the best that I can offer at the time of filming. I am always happy to receive questions, corrections, extensions and to include extra information in the comments section. Thank you in advance for any interactions you have with any of my productions.

At first I wanted to take a coloured picture of the orange flower, but then I really liked the structure of the BW version

Not much happening with the sky but you get an idea of the structure at the Warried Blowhole - Canyon X.

Today was a day when we got to break stuff in our structures class! In the previous semester, we built a flitch beam (a hybrid of wood and metal) and crushed it with a machine in the basement of our building that can exert tens of thousands of pounds of pressure.
This semester we are studying lateral forces and concrete. Our first project was to test various structural systems against lateral forces (i.e. wind and earthquakes). The way to do this without taking into consideration gravity or other loads, was to design a "building" that could be suspended from the wall and loaded on it's side. This would demonstrate how three types of structural systems behaved.
My group had to design a braced frame structure, and our brilliant and simple plan was sidetracked several times by not planning out our choice of materials very well. We chose to use aluminum rods as the columns, not realizing until it was too late that no continuous metal pieces could run through joints (e.g. floorplates). So we cut up our metal into bits, and then had to figure out how to glue it back together (gorrilla glue, anyone?). Eventually we settled on a combination of pvc pipe and epoxy, and then were able to string fishing line as our braced elements, creating a giant tension truss. Our original idea had been to make our building totally transparent, and had chosen to use plexiglass as the floor plates.
During testing, our building was able to sustain quite a bit of loading in comparison to its own weight (6 lbs.). Eventually it failed due to the columns not being secure enough in the base, being pulled out and demonstrating the property of "uplift."
Next project in a few weeks: we are casting concrete, making beams, and then crushing them! Breaking stuff is so cool :)
Inside is a what appears to be a conventional Edison thread light socket, though it looks to be quite corroded.
I haven't seen this structure illuminated in a long time, if at all.

I decided to give Image Based lighting a try here. After waiting over 2 days for the finished product, I have to share it... Maybe I should stop using reflective surfaces for everything and it wouldn't take so long...

Connecting lines that may be horizontal can also be inside electrical wires. Also known as Plenum cabling, this makes connectivities between separate channels to actually telecommunication lairs or areas for working in ground via conduits, lead methods or areas for ceilings on every level. Riser Cabling is additionally generally known as up and down cabling. These connect between dens for telecommunications and tools. They are named riser cabling for the reason that these kinds rooms are normally located on other stories.
