Une architecture soignée et innovante
L’architecture du bâtiment est originale et contemporaine, avec des lignes courbes et fluides et des jeux de transparences au niveau des façades, ouvertes sur les espaces extérieurs. L’entrée a été conçue comme un symbole fort et identifiant pour le territoire, grâce à son auvent sous-tendu par un mât au-dessus de l’accueil. Le hall, voulu convivial et dynamique, intègrera un système de vidéo-projection interactive sur le sol pour créer une mise en situation exceptionnelle du lieu.
Une attention particulière va être apportée à la scénographie des différents espaces, avec notamment des matériaux de qualité (bassins en inox, transparence des façades alternant bois et verre, etc.). Des éclairages aériens et subaquatiques permettront de restituer différentes ambiances en fonction des espaces.
Les extérieurs feront également l’objet d’un traitement soigné. Le public pourra trouver par exemple un toboggan proposant des effets spéciaux et quelques éléments de réalité augmentée uniques en France.
Un espace proposera entre autres un solarium végétal, avec une pente douce bordée de gradins et des transats naturels engazonnées, un terrain de beach-volley, un food-truck et des vestiaires d’été.
Le végétal et le modelé du terrain, organiseront les différents aménagements extérieurs de l’équipement aqualudique et ancreront le projet dans son site et dans son histoire

IC #6252 and company are almost finished dumping their fresh loads of taconite on Dock 6 as the sky's pinks and purples fade to dark blues and the lights across the harbor in Superior begin to twinkle. The dock loads ships via a conveyor belt system or gravity-feed; the conveyor belt system can load 10,000 tons of iron ore pellets onto a ship per hour. With marine shipping closed for the winter season though, the taconite will get added to the massive stockpiles (frame left) and get shipped out in the spring when the harbor opens up again.
Of the six docks, the first was originally built on the Superior side of the harbor in 1892. The Duluth Mesabi & Northern Railway built their first wooden ore dock here the next year in 1893. As ore mining exploded on the Mesabi Iron Range into the next decade, the railroad built larger and more advanced ore docks to accommodate the steam freighters that were increasing in size.
By World War One, there were four ore docks almost a half-mile long operating here alongside smaller docks for receiving coal and limestone. The adjacent and inactive Dock 5 was built back 1914 while Dock 6 was indeed the sixth and final dock built at this location in 1918. Over time, the smaller, wooden ore docks were retired and deconstructed while the steel docks remained.
To the very far right is CN's Hallett Dock, used for both outgoing and incoming cargos. Various products are handled here from bentonite clay and limestone, both used in the taconite production process.

Artful, the third of the Royal Navyâs new Astute Class attack submarines has arrived at her Scottish base port from where she will carry out sea trials before entering service later this year.
The 7,400-tonne Artful left BAE Systems construction yard at Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria several days ago before sailing to her new home at Her Majestyâs Naval Base (HMNB) Clyde. She will provide the Royal Navy with the most technologically advanced submarine Britain has ever sent to sea.
HMNB Clyde will become a home for the Royal Navyâs submarines and associated support by 2020, creating a submarine centre of specialisation.
The base is amongst the largest single-site employers in Scotland, with 6,700 military and civilian personnel, increasing under current UK Government plans to 8,200 by 2022.
Defence Minister, Philip Dunne, said:
âThe arrival of Artful to HMNB Clyde clearly shows that the UK Government is firmly committed to the future of defence in Scotland, this is the latest addition to what will be the home of all Royal Navy submarines by 2020.
âThe Astute submarine programme is a key part of our £163 billion equipment plan which has been bolstered by the commitment to increase defence spending and meet the NATO pledge of two per cent of our national income for the rest of this decade.
âThe Astute Class are amongst the most advanced submarines operating in the world today and provide the Royal Navy with the capability it needs to defend UK interests at home and overseas.â
Chief of Materiel Fleet, Vice Admiral Simon Lister, said:
âI am delighted that Artful has arrived at her home port to prepare for operations as this marks a key milestone in the Astute class submarine programme.
âThe build of the first two Astute Class submarines has taught us many lessons. Artful can soon begin operations as the newest submarine in the Royal Navy.â
Featuring the latest nuclear-powered technology, Artfu

La Galaxia de la Vía Láctea o simplemente Vía Láctea es la galaxia espiral en la que se encuentra el Sistema Solar y, por ende, la Tierra. Según las observaciones, posee una masa de 1012 masas solares y es una espiral barrada; con un diámetro medio de unos 100.000 años luz, estos son aproximadamente 1 trillón de km, se calcula que contiene entre 200.000 millones y 400.000 millones de estrellas. La distancia desde el Sol hasta el centro de la galaxia es de alrededor de 27.700 años luz (8.500 pc, es decir, el 55 por ciento del radio total galáctico). La Vía Láctea forma parte de un conjunto de unas cuarenta galaxias llamado Grupo Local, y es la segunda más grande y brillante tras la Galaxia de Andrómeda (aunque puede ser la más masiva, al mostrar un estudio reciente que nuestra galaxia es un 50 % más masiva de lo que se creía anteriormente.
The Milky Way Galaxy or just Milky Way is a spiral galaxy in which the Solar System is found and therefore the Earth. According to the observations, has a mass of 1012 solar masses and is a barred spiral; with an average diameter of about 100,000 light years, they are about 1 trillion km, is estimated to contain between 200,000 million and 400,000 million stars. The distance from the Sun to the center of the galaxy is about 27,700 light (8.500 pc, ie 55 percent of the total galactic radio) years. The Milky Way is part of a group of about forty galaxies called the Local Group, and is the second largest and brightest after the Andromeda Galaxy (although it may be the most massive, a recent study by showing that our galaxy is 50% more massive than previously believed.

Tijdens mijn bezoek op de zolderetage van het rijksmuseum voor Oudheden in Delft zag ik tussen de oudheden ineens 2 priemende rode ogen op een zwarte muur. Het lijkt een onderdeel van de klimaatbeheeersingsinstallatie te zijn (denk ik). Overigens staat de tekst op het middenstukje op zijn kop.

Los garrucheros desde siempre han sufrido, disfrutado, y vivido del mar, es por eso por lo que rinden homenaje con este monumento a la actividad que la vio nacer.
Fue erigido el 13 de Abril de 1991 en honor a los pescadores y hombres de la mar fundadores de Garrucha. Está ubicado en el Paseo Marítimo, frente al puerto. La escultura, cincelada en mármol blanco por la artista María de los Ángeles Lázaro Guil, representa a dos esforzados marineros manejando las artes de pesca y el pescado capturado. Representa sin duda las formas de vida de Garrucha, un pueblo en el que la pesca es la protagonista.
All winter we waited to hear if the Jacobite "Harry Potter Express" would operate from Fort William to Mallaig. "Greatest train journey in the world" they call it. But it isn't. Certainly, not at the moment.
The company that operates the Jacobite and benefits hugely from J.K. Rowlings novels, West Coast Railways is in dispute with the safety authority, the ORR (Office of Rail and Roads). The ORR have found fault with WCR on numerous occasions, most seriously when they were fined £200,000 with £ 64,000 costs when the driver turned off a safety system and nearly caused a head on collision with a high speed passenger train. The driver was even sentenced to four months in prison, with sentence suspended for 18 months, it was that serious an offence.
All train carriage doors used on main lines must have a central door locking (CDL) system. West Coast Railways have been given an exemption from this each year for the last 30 years. But in light of other safety breaches the ORR refused to offer one more. All other heritage railways using old rolling stock have been compliant with the ORR, except West Coast Railways, who say they cannot afford the £ 7 million bill to update their carriages with central door locking. This seems hard to believe given that this service is amongst the most profitable anywhere, and what is to stop WCR getting newer carriages with CDL and painting them up in vintage colours? It seems to have become a battle of wills, and the victims are tourists, train enthusiasts and the local communities. I went to see the situation for myself yesterday.
Hundreds of people had arrived before me, a full hour before the train was due on the Glenfinnan viaduct. The National Trust car park was already conned off, full. The Glenfinnan Community car park was almost full, with one car being allowed in at a time. There was a trail of people walking up the riverside path towards the viaduct. Where they went left up the hillside to the most popular viewing point I went right, across the bridge and up the opposite side of the valley to give me a longer view up Loch Shiel towards my home. Perched on a dry rock, there, I scanned the opposite hillside and spotted an estimated 500 train spotters, stood expectantly for the Harry Potter experience.
Normally, you can hear the clatter on the rails from miles away, and the train slows to issue a shrill whistle to announce its arrival to the waiting crowds. I almost didn't notice its arrival in the drizzle as a dark, pig-like snout pushed past the trackside vegetation into my field of view. Bugger! No steam train. No Harry Potter train. Just a dirty great Class 37 diesel, which belched black smoke every time it opened the throttle. As it trundled past I counted 7 carriages, it's normal number, I was pleased to see. But peering through the windows, rather than seeing hundreds of happy faces and hands smiling and waving out at us, almost all were completely empty.
What's going on? I had heard rumours, almost unbelievable rumours. The Black 5 steam engine had broken down on the first day, blocking the track for the usual Scotrail train to and from Mallaig. But WCR normally position three identical Black 5 steam engines in Fort William to cater for the second service of the day, and one to cover breakdowns. The diesel was always there to take over if there was a risk of embers from the steam train setting fire to the hillsides in dry weather. Why no steam engine yesterday? And why only one or two carriages of passengers, or were they not passengers at all, but crew being trained as another rumour made out?
As the diesel disappeared under a black cloud on the far side of the valley, the hillside viewers broke up and walked down hill to their cars again, disappointment written all over their faces in the silent procession back to their cars. They paid a minimum £ 5 to park too, up from £ 3 last year. Not that I begrudge a highland community trying to make money from their own endeavours.
WCR say the area will lose £ 55 million because of the ORR decision to issue them an exemption to safety requirements. The ORR say they have had 30 years to get their carriages updated, or get ones that comply. But still WCR would rather operate the trains empty so that no other operator can use their slots on the single main line
The people I feel sorry for are the tourists and train enthusiasts. I've heard of visitors from places like Australia and Canada planning trips to Scotland based around going on the Jacobite. And thousands of Harry Potter fans and Instagrammers from all over the world who are left disappointed and upset that there is no Harry Potter steam train. But most of all I feel sorry for the small fishing village of Mallaig at the end of the line who were used to a thousand or so train passengers coming off the Jacobite for an hour or two as it turned round to go back to Fort William. They streamed into the town to buy Fish and Chips, and enjoy fresh seafood in the restaurants, take short boat trips and cruises to see seals and other wildlife, even visit the Haggard Alley Harry Potter shop, and take in harbour views of the Small Isles out towards Skye. I feel sorry for them losing all that business while WCR use the community's loss as a weapon to bully the ORR into giving them one more exemption. In Mallaig, WCR really have reached the end of the line.
I went on the Jacobite steam train, once, First Class. In my opinion, it wasn't worth it. Trackside vegetation blocks your views most of the way, even if the steamed up, soot streaked windows don't. The road journey, which mostly takes the same route is more enjoyable, but if you must go over the Glenfinnan viaduct, go on the Scotrail train at a fraction of the Jacobite price. It's exactly the same route
Many would say, for what West Coast Railways have done, they don't deserve to operate this service. A lot of anger is forming towards them. Let a new, more caring and responsible operator come in and create a better experience for tourists, train enthusiasts and local communities alike.
