This IG3OA is seen sitting shy of the Amtrak Sacramento Station while a trespasser on the I Street Bridge is dealt with.
In the new depot alignment, this train in the 21st century is taking close to the same path its ancestors did up to 50 years ago through Sacramento, CA.

I had the pleasure of viewing the planetary alignment this week shortly after the sun set into Lake Michigan. In this photo I captured the Moon, three planets, and a few deep sky attractions using a wide angle 10mm lens . The reflection of Venus in the lake is also prominent.

I decided to make my own dropout alignment tools. The Park ones have the annoying feature of moving around in the dropout while you're trying to tighten them down. The Stein ones solve this by using quick-release clamps, but then require you to adjust the spacing with a difficult-to-use collar instead of a screw thread (and they cost 3x as much). So here's the best of both worlds: quick-release clamps, long arms, and a nice tight screw thread adjustment.
each section is only as wide as the hoop. there were 5 sections i had to line up in descending order.
i had to pluck out the running stitch 3 times on that eagle, scoot the fabric left, right... no, no, back to the left... before it FINALLY centered itself between the triforce's...uh... legs.
The 1926-1939 alignment of Route 66 goes right through Joliet, making a visit to the Old Joliet Prison on the other side of the Des Plaines River an easy task.
Joliet Correctional Center was in operation from 1858 to 2002. It was featured in the motion picture "The Blues Brothers" as the prison Jake Blues is released from at the beginning of the movie. The prison was built with convict labor at a total cost of $75,000 and could house 761 inmates. Opened in 1858 just outside of Joliet city limits, it replaced Alton Prison which closed 1860. At the time, Joliet Prison was the largest prison in the country and the design became a model for United States prisons. However, the prison was slow to modernize. There were still no running water or toilets in the cells in 1910, and the construction of the nearby Stateville Correctional Center in 1917 was meant to lead to the eventual closure of Joliet. This did not happen, and both prisons operated simultaneously for the rest of the 20th Century.
Joliet Correctional Center closed as a holding prison in February 2002. Budget cuts and the obsolete and dangerous nature of the buildings were the cited reasons. All inmates and most staff were transferred to new buildings built at Stateville, the other maximum security prison in Joliet. Joliet continued as an intake center until March 2004.
With the help of Sara's fish-eye lens and lens correction in Photoshop, I was finally able to get the whole facility in one shot. We walked the perimeter of the prison and noticed several ways inside, but I still don't know how to get inside the prison legally to take photos.
Sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree of LHP1 and HP1 homologues.
(A) Segment of the alignment that contains the chromodomain. The arrow heads highlight the aromatic cage residues that form the binding cavity for histone methyl groups. (B) Phylogenetic tree of 15 LHP1 and HP1 homologs (Arabidopsis thaliana: At_LHP1 GI:15625407. Populus trichocarpa: Pt_LHP1A, estExt_Genewise1_v1.C_LG_XIX1329; Pt_LHP1B, eugene3.00130688.

The evolutionary history was inferred using the Maximum Parsimony method; the most parsimonious tree with length = 2089 is shown. Support for each node, assessed with bootstrap analysis (1000 replicates) is given when higher than 60%. Note that the tree is displayed as circular cladogram with all branches of the same length.
Just received it today. It was too expensive to ship the one made by Joel (Clockwork) from the US, so I found somebody who could CNC mill it for me. It also allowed me to customize it for my height gauge.
The design is very, very much inspired by this one ! :

Summary of cpcB.(A?B) cpcB mRNA levels during the life cycle of A. nidulans (A) and A. fumigatus (B). Conidia (asexual spores) are indicated as C. The numbers indicate the time (hours) after incubation in liquid MMG (Vegetative), and on solid MMG under conditions inducing conidiation (Asexual) or sexual development (Sexual). The relative band intensities (mean?SD) of Northern blot were determined by densitometric scanning of mRNA bands using ImageJ and each band was normalized by the amount of 18S rRNA (cpcB/18S rRNA) in the relevant lane. Ethidium bromide staining of ribosomal RNAs was used as a loading control. (C) Alignment of A. nidulans (Ani) CpcB, A. fumigatus (Afu) CpcB, A. flavus (Afl) CpcB with Gib2 of C. neoformans var. grubii (Cgr; accession: AY907679) and C. neoformans var. neoformans (Cne; accession: AY907680). ClustalW (align.genome.jp/) and BoxShade 3.21 (www.ch.embnet.org/software/BOX_form.html) were used for the alignment and presentation. (D) A phylogenetic tree of CpcB-like proteins identified in various fungal species including A. clavatus, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. nidulans, A. niger, A. oryzae, A. terreus (A?=?Aspergillus), C. neoformans, Neurospora crassa, Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium marneffei, Schizophyllum commune, Schizosaccharomyces japonicus and Talaromyces stipitatus. The putative CpcB proteins were retrieved from NCBI BlastX (blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) using A. nidulans CpcB. A phylogenetic tree of 14 putative CpcB homologues was generated by the TreeTop software (genebee.msu.su/services/phtree_reduced.html) using the alignment data from ClustalW. The phylogenetic tree is constructed based on the matrix of pairwise distances between sequences. Numbers indicate the computed distances given the residue substitution weights from the alignment data [59].
Megalithic tomb (Passage grave) Newgrange, Co Meath, Ireland - 2500BC. Dated to around 3200 BC, Newgrange is 1,000 older than Stonehenge and centuries older than the great pyramids of Egypt.
At the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, the light of rising sun penetrates the tomb through the roofbox over the entrance, gradually illuminating the passage for a distance of 62feet to the three chambers at the end.
(I believe it didn't happen to day - too dark, damp and grey!). Photo taken several years ago.
The new alignment at Heamies Farm, with Freightliner Class 66/5 No. 66506 'Crewe Regeneration' leading 4M88 0932 Felixstowe North - Crewe Basford Hall off the new alignment of the down slow from Searchlight Lane Junction on 17th August 2016. Previously a four-track formation continued around the curve to Norton Bridge, which now with closer inspection revealing that the now redundant fourth track (down slow-above red third container) has been lifted.

The Orion-theory that the alignment and placement of the pyramids of Giza is widely known, though much discredited.
Whilst reading up on the theory, i came across this, alternate theory to the alignment and layout of the pyramids of the Giza plateau.
Primarily they focused on something much closer than the Orion constellation, rather they set reflect the inner planets of our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
This theory rests on several remarkable coincidences
1. the 3 misaligned pyramids have an angular separation equaling 191.6 degrees, or the identical angular distance Mars travels in one Earth year
2. the distances from the peaks of the pyramids are proportionally identical to the distance of the inner planets from one another
3. the three pyramid bases are directly proportional to the physical size for these four inner planets. The two largest pyramids have a size ratio very similar to Earth and Venus, while the third and smallest pyramid equals the "average" size ratio for the two smallest planets, Mars and Mercury
Thus some argue, their their main objective was to emphasize planet motion and the arrangement of the 4 inner planets.
This pyramid/planet comparison begs the question is it the result of a great engineering coincidence? Or were the pyramids constructed with the intent of reflecting the heavens -- and how did the Ancient Egyptians poccess this intimate knowledge of the Solar system, and how was it lost to mankind?

I have been elsewhere this weekend, but it’s been hugely distracting down here at the end of both days when I’ve been passing. A nice bit of boaty alignment in this one too.

Pickup alignment of a Lyra Helikon mounted on Alphason HR100S (and Oracle Delphi) using "Schön"-template.
this is a panorama made from 8 pictures.
It was taken on May, the 1rst, at 3:00 AM GMT.
At this moment, Venus and Jupiter were in conjunction. The milky-way core was still visible.
Location : La Seyne sur Mer, near Toulon, France.
Setup : Nikon Z6 II + Nikkor 24/70 @ 24 mm -f/4 - ISO 1600 - 20 s
I am measuring any twist between the seattube and the headtube. .0035 inches is pretty much as good as it gets.
