The Gateway Arch is a 630-foot-high monument in Saint Louis, Missouri. Clad in stainless steel and built in the form of a flattened catenary arch, it is the tallest man-made monument in the United States, Missouri's tallest accessible building, and the world's tallest arch. Built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States, it is the centerpiece of the Gateway Arch National Park (formerly the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial) and has become an internationally famous symbol of Saint Louis.
The arch sits at the site of Saint Louis' foundation on the west bank of the Mississippi River.
The Gateway Arch was designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen and German-American structural engineer Hannskarl Bandel in 1947. Construction began on February 12, 1963, and was completed on October 28, 1965, at a total cost of US$13 million. The monument opened to the public on June 10, 1967.
The Gateway Arch was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, and was designated a National Historic Landmark the same year.

PAUL WOOD was walking past a Littlehampton, West Sussex property that had been converted into two flats when he realised that the flue for the ground floor flat – and possibly the upper flat too – had been covered with a tarpaulin. There was no reply at the door so he notified Transco. While waiting for Transco, Paul was able to turn off the gas to the upper flat at the outdoor meter and to speak to the occupiers there. They were told the supply would have to be capped off and a warning/advice notice and label were issued.
The occupiers of the upper flat
advised how to gain entry to the ground floor property, so Paul was able to cap off the supply at the meter and again issue a warning/advice notice.
In the meantime Transco arrived and classified the upper flat as being ‘At Risk’, the flue being just above the tarpaulin. Ironically, the tarpaulin had been set up by a cladding company during some insulation work intended to make these homes warmer.
We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.
We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.
We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see. We were soon finding out that it has an extensive network of canals and bridges and these are a major feature of life in the city. Pan flat, the cyclist rules, There appeared to be twice as many bikes as residents, with countless thousands propped up everywhere you went. Where ever you looked there was silent conveyor of sit up and beg cycles being ridden in all directions. You soon got used to looking over your shoulder before making a move. The vast majority of bikes are left unlocked and almost no one wears a helmet ( I’m a no helmet man, much to the annoyance of the helmet zealots). Copenhagen is reputedly the happiest place in the world and it certainly came across as friendly and relaxed. It is, though, one of the most expensive cities in the world and two burgers and two small glasses of wine at Nyhavn cost us £50. Comically, there were four people, local to us, shouting out Jayne’s name, they had seen us going past and we had a laugh about the prices, They were sat drinking beer at £8.50 a pint. Despite the expense, the place was packed with people parting with their money. Wages are very high locally, as are the taxes. The high wages and high costs must feed each other in an upward spiral I would have thought.
Unfortunately the cost of entering buildings to go up towers etc. for a higher view of the city was also very expensive (to us). The tower at Christiansborg Palace is free but restricted by the lift system and you don’t get to the top, it does also open later than the others so you have a chance of seeing sunset over the city. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order on one of our best weather days. We did get to go up the day after but it was dull and I wasn’t overly impressed. The spiral tower across in Christiana, The Church of Our Saviour, was far more impressive. We climbed the tower here just after it opened on a stunning morning and the views are fantastic. There will be incredible bottlenecks when it’s busy though on the corkscrew stairs that get progressively narrower towards the top. Some people hog it to take endless selfies at the top and it is extremely tight up there, you can’t move up until they come down.
As usual, we tried to get to some out of the way places, with only five days and mixed weather though we had enough mainstream destinations to see. We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.
There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.
Classifying Xanthomonas based on RIF genotypes.
The rooted neighbor-joining cladogram was constructed from 358 characterized Xanthomonas strains from the PBC (Table 2), ten reference strains from GenBank (see Table 1 for strain names) and the outgroup Xylella fastidiosa. Xanthomonas abbreviations are given in the text box. Identical sequences are represented only once and the number of sequenced strains is indicated on each leaf. Bootstrap values of >50% (shown at the node) are expressed as a percentage of 5,000 replicates. Blue boxes contain strains of different species with identical RIF sequences. X. axonopodis pv. dieffenbachiae strains are found throughout the tree (red text).

Titanium sheets cladding a building in Glasgow.
Taken with Minolta MC Rokkor-SG 28mm f3.5 on Panasonic GX7.
Not a particularly distinguished piece of cladding, not bad either, just not very far from the ordinary except for the wonderful nail head (?) course through the cladding (or decorative red brick formerly) and the odd flame like leaf motifs above the doorway which the cladder has respected.

A majority-rule consensus tree calculated from the bootstrap replicates of one of the 24 genes.Majority-rule consensus tree computed from the bootstrap replicates for the 30S ribosomal protein S3. This gene has an alignment length of 180 sites, which is the average length for the 24 marker genes used in this study. This representation is a radial cladogram, in which branch length is not proportional to time, and some branches may be elongated so that the taxa appear on the circumference of the circle. The original version of this figure is available in the Supporting Information: Figure S10.

777 Novus in Tempe, AZ with Cembrit Patina P070 Flint fiber cement boards on the gate and fence using the Dynamic Bonding System.
Not a particularly exciting piece of cladding, but well looked after and crowned with some very fine double glazing which hints at the lozenge pattern glazing of the listed De Beauvoir Square windows in Hackney, London N1 . Next door seems to have been converted into maisonettes with contrasting entrances.
Very very fine.

Near full-length HIV-1 Bayesian tree.
The tree was constructed using 180 near full-length genomes (8487-bp) of worldwide HIV-1 isolates. The tree was converted into a cladogram and the branches are colored to indicate the a posteriori support values of the node support, and red indicates values higher than 0.7. Subtype D (TZA20 and 94UG114) sequences were used as the outgroup (yellow letters). Brazilian, Japanese, and Argentinean isolates are indicated in blue, red and green letters, respectively. The yellow area corresponds to the cluster formed with the Brazilian isolates. The green area delineates the cluster with the Korean sequences and the cyan area indicates the cluster formed with the Chinese and Thai sequences. The geographical location of the sequences are identified as follows: BR = Brazil, AR = Argentina, UY = Uruguay, CO = Colombia, AU = Australia, JP = Japan, TH = Thailand, CH = China, JP = Japan, HT = Haiti, TT =  Trinidad & Tobago.
