University
GV II
University building, formerly Trent Polytechnic. Designed
1952. Built 1956-58. Designed by Cecil Howitt. Portland Stone
facing, expressed as a cladding by the alignment of both
vertical and horizontal joints. Flat roofs. Low block,
polygonal in plan, containing entrance and workshops,
surmounted at right-angles to the street by an eight-storey
slab. Stripped classical manner. Entrance block treated as
symmetrical composition with projecting centre with fluted
pilasters in antis. Vertical window to left and right each
with projecting metal grill. Five-light window to flanking
ranges. Slightly recessed glazed attic storey. Slab recessed
behind street facade with moulded vertical window to end
elevation. Broad flanks each have panel of vertical strip
windows with projecting masonry pilasters, flanked to either
side by panels with narrow horizontal windows. Delicate metal
framed single-glazed windows with margin glazing. INTERIOR
retains matching original staircase.
A good example of Cecil Howitt's later work, showing the
Modernist idea of the "slab and podium" translated into a
classical manner.

The alignment of Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn in a straight line (as seen from our perspective on Earth). The alignment was visible to the eye naked eye.
Imaged on 27 April 2022, just before sunrise from the Southern Hemisphere. A very wide field of view of over 40° was required.

Sequence analysis of SsCBF1.(A) Amino acid sequence alignment between SsCBF1 and other known CBF1s. The alignment was performed using ClustalX 2.0 and DNAMAN software. Black background indicated conserved residues among all the proteins selected. The AP2 DNA-binding domain and other signature motifs were indicated by solid lines. (B) Phylogenetic relationships between SsCBF1 and other CBFs from various species. The phylogenetic tree was generated by the neighbor-joining method using MEGA 5.0. Organisms were abbreviated as follows: St, Solanum tuberosum; Sc, Solanum commersonii; Sl, Solanum lycopersicum; Ss, Solanum lycopersicoides; Ca, Capsicum annuum; At, Arabidopsis thaliana. GenBank accession numbers of the CBFs are listed as follows: AtCBF1 (AEE85066), AtCBF2 (AEE85064), AtCBF3 (AEE85065), AtCBF4 (ABV27186), SsCBF1 (ACY79412), SlCBF1 (AAS77820), SlCBF2 (AAS77821), SlCBF3 (AAS77819), ScCBF1 (ACB45093), ScCBF2 (ACB45094), ScCBF3 (ACB45092), ScCBF4 (ACB45084), StCBF1 (ABI74671), StCBF2 (ABI94367), StCBF3 (ACB45095), StCBF4 (ACB45083), StCBF5 (ACB45082), CaCBF1 (AAZ22480), CaCBF3 (ADM73296).
These megalith alignments, contemporary to those (more famous) of Carnac, show that the Crozon peninsula was inhabited since many thousands of years. The standing stones date from about 2500 BC. In the beginning there were probably more than 400 stones; today there are only 65 left, arranged in three lines that form three of the four sides of a rectangle. The longest line is about 200 m. It is assumed that the arrangement had an astronomic significance related to the constellation of Pleiades whose name in Breton is “ar yar” (the hen), hence the name of the place derived from “Lagad-Yar” (hen’s eye).

Aliniamentele de megaliţi, contemporanele cu cele (mai cunoscute) de la Carnac, aratǎ cǎ peninsula Crozon a fost locuitǎ de mai multe mii de ani. Menhirele dateazǎ din anii 2500 î.Ch. Iniţial, în amplasament s-au aflat probabil peste 400 de pietre; astǎzi au mai rǎmas 65, dispuse în trei linii formând trei din laturile unui dreptunghi. Cea mai lungǎ dintre ele are cca. 200 m. Se presupune cǎ amplasamentul a avut unele semnificaţii de naturǎ astronomicǎ, fiind legate de constelaţia Pleiadelor, purtând în bretonǎ numele de “ar yar” (gǎina), de unde şi numele locului derivat din “Lagad-Yar” (ochiul gǎinii).

This new section was recently opened just south of Ola. The project cost $3.6 million and improved the alignment of Hwy. 7.
I took a better picture than this one - see later on in my photostream!

Started off by prepping the paper with gesso just to give it a bit more tooth (the paper I'm using is a bit cheap).
Wrote words with a 3B pencil all over. Started with the big red shapes, then added some green.
Decided (probably too consciously) to do a figure. Added more green around her head.
Got stuck quite a few times, then hit on lilac coloured hair. Got stuck again, decided to make her body white.
Struggled to know what to do, so eventually just stopped.
I found this a lot harder than abstract as I just didn't know where to go with it.
Still enjoyed it though!
The stone in the foreground is the "slaughter stone", so called because archaeologists and antiquarians have lurid imaginations and the rock contains deposits of iron ore. We are standing a little off the axis of Stonehenge, with the head stone, over which the midsummer sun just about rises, a little way behind us.
The discovery of Stonehenge's alignment with the midsummer sun begins in 1740 with William Stukeley's Stonehenge: A Temple Restor'd to the British Druids. Stukely follows Plutarch's observation that the Ancients built their temples to face the rising sun; his Druids were Patriarchs, so it made sense that they would emulate the Temple of Solomon and so forth (which he assumed was also aligned with the sunrise) when building Stonehenge.
Stukeley was a big fan of the Druids, but this created a dilemma--the Druids were incredibly smart, and the exactitude with which Stonehenge is constructed reflects this smartness ("the exactness with which the Druids set their works, and the uniformity of their variation, make me believe this variation was not the effect of chance or negligence").
However, for smart people, the erection of huge stones for the simple purpose of marking where the sun will rise appears clumsy ("the Druids were too good astronomers and mathematicians to need so mean an artifice: nor does it correspond to the quantity precisely enough").
So he flip-flopped, and suggested that while it was roughly aligned with the midsummer sun, Stonehenge's actual alignment was with the precise magnetic north pole. He got round the fact that it didn't actually align with magnetic north by explaining that the magnetic pole oscillated.

As anybody who has actually bothered to travel through time to commune with the Druids could have told Stukely, Stonehenge's alignment was in reality intended to encode a message to their counterparts in the far future.

Building the frames for Hugin
Once I have reviewed all frames and added the build rules to my Makefule, I add this rule:
AonachDubh.pto: aonach_dubh-f1.tiff aonach_dubh-f2.tiff aonach_dubh-f3.tiff aonach_dubh-f4.tiff aonach_dubh-f5.tiff aonach_dubh-f6.tiff
echo "create AonachDubh.pto with Hugin"
In the absence AonachDubh.pto, this will work as a dummy target, causing make to generate the TIFF versions of all frames. Once I have created the panorama file AonachDubh.pto with Hugin, an as long as all frames are present, this rule will have no effect.
Automatic alginment
Adding the frame files to a new panorama in Hugin using its Assistant interface will make it assign the control points and attempt to align the images in one go. With a good enough set of frames, such alignment will normally run without problems, but with this odd set I've got the first result was a bit disappointing.
The mess shown here is caused by a combination of factors, including the lack of overlap between some frames, bogus control points found in the farmes that did not overlap, too few control points between well-overlapping frames, too many control points concentrated in very small areas, and perhaps other problems I am not aware of. The solution in this case was to delete the automatically assigned control points and place them manually, aiming for the best spread.
But before we do that, let's take a look at a few bad cases of control point positioning.
Just missed the sunset but saw the shooting stars. I knew that they were going to be in the skies until the 12th August. Been trying to see them. talked about it and turned around and they were there. Made my first evening in France special.
The Perseid meteor shower occurs in July and August as the earth orbits through the debris of the Swift-Tuttle comet. Chucks of debris - rocks made of iron-nickel and other minerals - gets pulled into the earth from our planet's gravity, which turns into balls of hot gas when entering Earth's atmosphere. The meteors entering the earth when darkness falls come from the constellation Perseus.
On August 12, when the meteor shower peaks at its brightest, over a hundred shooting stars, or "falling stars" will be seen per hour.
This year's star show is all the more special because the crescent moon, Jupiter and Venus will align together just as the Perseids peak. According to NASA, "The alignment occurs in the eastern sky before sunrise on the three mornings of highest meteor activity."
The meteors and comic debris entering into Earth are tiny. Some are as small as a grain of sand, but they are traveling at speeds of up to 160,000mph, which creates a "train or tail" when entering Earth's atmosphere
Zachry Construction's foreman checks the alignment and placement of the first concrete girder for the new Radio Road Bridge over I-40 East.
The screw located just behind the frameline mask can only be fully visible when the lens is focused at infinity. The screw moves the rangefinder patch focusing lens (A) forward or backward for horizontal alignment. It is at infinity that the horizontal alignment can be most accurately done.
The rest of the labellings are to explain which parts serves what purpose in the rangefinder.

They're working pretty energetically on the Sedalia Trust Building, but it's too little, too late in my opinion. Just tear the thing down. It's a dangerous building and I don't think I'd ever "trust" it, personally!
