Upon the completion of the restoration, No. 4014 joined the railroad's No. 844 in excursion service.[45][46] No. 4014 also became the world's largest operational steam locomotive, displacing No. 3985.
No. 4014 made its first excursion run amid the celebrations marking 150 years since the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad. Following its May 4 christening at the Cheyenne Depot Museum, the locomotive — along with No. 844 — traveled to Ogden, Utah. After making several brief stops in communities along the way,[50] No. 4014 arrived at the city's Union Station on May 8 for Ogden's Heritage Festival the following day. It departed on May 12 and arrived back in Cheyenne on May 19.
From July 8 to August 8, 2019, No. 4014 is on a Midwestern tour with stops planned in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. The locomotive was displayed at Union Pacific's Home Plate in Omaha, Nebraska, on July 13-14; it led a fundraising excursion to Boone, Iowa, to benefit the Union Pacific Railroad Museum on July 15.

As part of the team building component of Term 1 Project Management, students are given a box of dollar store objects and a mission: keep a marble moving along a course for as long a time as possible, with it ending up falling into an egg cup. Armed with plastic necklaces, dominoes, bendy straws, a roll of toilet tissue and other priceless objects, teams compete to create the best design to meet the goal. Upon completion, the teams analyze their designs for strengths and weaknesses and process key team dynamic components — How were design decisions made? How were disagreements resolved? How was leadership determined? Did team members contribute equally to the vision and how did they each fare when it came to implementation?

The former Treasury Building was built in stages from 1839 to 1907. The buildings we see today took nearly twenty years to reach completion, though their unity of conception suggests that they were designed as a whole by E. A. Hamilton who was Colonial Architect at the time when it was begun and who supervised the erection of the three earliest sections. The northern two-storied section of the Treasury Building in King William Street was built in 1858, followed by the corner two-storied section in 1859, and the central three-storied King William Street section in 1860. In 1867 the two-storied eastern Victoria Square section was completed. Finally in 1876 the three-storied Victoria Square block completed the structure. In order to make that possible a one-storied office building erected about 1842 to the design of Sir George Kingston, architect, was demolished. No doubt the design of that now forgotten Kingston building to some extent affected the general design, although this stuccoed pile with its urn-capped parapets is reminiscent of Nash’s terraces in Regent’s Park, London.
When the goldfields of Victoria opened up in 1851, some 17,000 South Australians left their homes and employment to seek riches in the east. Many who made their fortunes returned to South Australia and invested in land.
Meanwhile others took advantage of the Bullion Act of 1852 by selling gold in Adelaide at a higher price than was being offered on the diggings. This was made possible by the pioneering of a gold escort route from Mount Alexander, Bendigo, and Ballarat to Adelaide by Alexander Tolmer, South Australian Inspector of Mounted Police. During these escorts some 327,000 ounces of gold was brought to Adelaide without loss through wild lonely country inhabited by bushrangers. The escorts were welcomed by large crowds in the quadrangle of the Treasury Building on the north-east corner of Victoria Square.
The Treasury stood at the centre of South Australia’s administrative and governmental affairs for more 130 years. It housed the Cabinet Room from 1876 until 1968. The building has a strong association with exploration and surveying the sale and management of land the development of the State’s agricultural and pastoral industries and executive government. The building has now been restored and redeveloped as Medina Grand Hotel. The National Trust runs tours of the old Cabinet Room and tunnels under the building used for the secure transport of gold.
From Wiki:
"The site on the National Mall opened in September 2004. Fifteen years in the making, it is the first national museum in the country dedicated exclusively to Native Americans. The five-story, 250,000-square-foot (23,000 m2), curvilinear building is clad in a golden-colored Kasota limestone designed to evoke natural rock formations shaped by wind and water over thousands of years.
The museum is set in a 4.25 acres (17,200 m2)-site and is surrounded by simulated wetlands. The museum’s east-facing entrance, its prism window and its 120-foot (37 m) high space for contemporary Native performances are direct results of extensive consultations with Native peoples. Similar to the Heye Center in Lower Manhattan, the museum offers a range of exhibitions, film and video screenings, school group programs, public programs and living culture presentations throughout the year.
The museum’s architect and project designer is the Canadian Douglas Cardinal (Blackfoot); its design architects are GBQC Architects of Philadelphia and architect Johnpaul Jones (Cherokee/Choctaw). Disagreements during construction led to Cardinal's being removed from the project, but the building retains his original design intent. His continued input enabled its completion.
The museum’s project architects are Jones & Jones Architects and Landscape Architects Ltd. of Seattle and SmithGroup of Washington, D.C., in association with Lou Weller (Caddo), the Native American Design Collaborative, and Polshek Partnership Architects of New York City; Ramona Sakiestewa (Hopi) and Donna House (Navajo/Oneida) also served as design consultants. The landscape architects are Jones & Jones Architects and Landscape Architects Ltd. of Seattle and EDAW, Inc., of Alexandria, Virginia.
In general, Native Americans have filled the leadership roles in the design and operation of the museum and have aimed at creating a different atmosphere and experience from museums of European and Euro-American culture. Donna E. House, the Navajo and Oneida botanist who supervised the landscaping, has said, "The landscape flows into the building, and the environment is who we are. We are the trees, we are the rocks, we are the water. And that had to be part of the museum."[6] This theme of organic flow is reflected by the interior of the museum, whose walls are mostly curving surfaces, with almost no sharp corners.
The Mitsitam Native Foods Cafe is divided into Native regional sections such as the Northern Woodlands, South America, the Northwest Coast, Meso-America, and the Great Plains; The museum has published a Mitisam Cafe Cookbook.[7] The only Native American groups not represented in the café are the south eastern tribes such as the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee and Seminole, many of which supported the United States throughout the tribes' histories."

The Palace of Justice was built in the years 1890 to 1897 according to plans of the Munich architect Friedrich von Thiersch in neo-Baroque style. The building is located in downtown at Prielmayer street no. 7. The front side (south-eastern facade) faces the Karl square (Stachus) and the back side to the north Elise street where the being opposite Old Botanical Garden follows.
The building has a concentrically glass dome which is including the lantern 66 meter high. It was built on the ground where previously stood the built in the 1750s and -60er years Clemens Schlössl (small castle - belittlement) which housed since 1826 the cadet corps. 1862/63 was here a new building of the Ludwig-Maximilians University including Georgianum planned since the in 1840 inhabited Gärtner buildings in Ludwig street had already become too small. After the sudden death of King Maximilian II but these plans were not pursued.
The Palace of Justice has always been the office building of the Bavarian State Ministry of Justice, which occupies the upper floors. On the lower floors are situated most of the civil chambers of the Regional Court Munich I. With the completion of the Munich Criminal Justice Center at Nymphenburger street 16 in 1977, the Trial Chambers of the Landgericht München I were moved from the Palace of Justice to this address.
As the building, despite its size, soon became too small built Thiersch 1905 to the west next to the Palace of Justice the so-called New Courthouse in the forms of Nordic Gothic brick architecture with two clock towers, where today are situated the Bavarian Constitutional Court and the Higher Regional Court Munich.
In February 1943, took place the trials of the members of the resistance group White Rose before the People's Court in the Palace of Justice.
1962 was the Palace of Justice scene of a spectacular indication process against Vera Brühne.
In March 2014, took place the trial in the Palace of Justice against Uli Hoeness before the Landgericht München II. Although in Munich for all main hearings in criminal matters the building of the criminal justice center in Nymphenburger street is provided was the largest courtroom there (room 101), which is structurally adapted to a great media interest, however, occupied at this time with the NSU trial against Beate Zschäpe. Because of the expected onslaught of press and TV journalists it was decided, exceptionally, to conduct the trial against Hoeness in the Palace of Justice.
Memorials and exhibitions
Memory of the "White Rose"
In courtroom 253, a permanent exhibition recalls the trials of the members of the White Rose. Next to the front door a plaque made of perspex remembers the during the Nazi era disenfranchised and persecuted Jewish lawyers.
In the courtyard under the glass dome (atrium) take place irregular exhibitions on contemporary issues related to justice.
Der Justizpalast wurde in den Jahren 1890 bis 1897 nach Plänen des Münchner Architekten Friedrich von Thiersch im Stil des Neobarock errichtet. Das Gebäude befindet sich in der Innenstadt an der Prielmayerstraße Nr. 7. Die Schaufront (südöstliche Fassade) zeigt zum Karlsplatz (Stachus), und die Rückseite im Norden zur Elisenstraße, wo sich auf der gegenüberliegenden Straßenseite der Alte Botanische Garten anschließt.
Das Gebäude hat mittig eine einschließlich der Laterne 66 Meter hohe Glaskuppel. Es wurde auf dem Grund errichtet, auf dem zuvor das in den 1750er und -60er Jahren erbaute Clemensschlössl stand, welches seit 1826 das Kadettencorps beherbergte. 1862/63 war hier ein Neubau der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität einschließlich Georgianum geplant, da die 1840 bezogenen Gärtner-Bauten in der Ludwigstraße bereits zu klein geworden waren. Nach dem überraschenden Tod König Maximilians II. wurden diese Pläne jedoch nicht weiterverfolgt.
Der Justizpalast ist seit jeher das Dienstgebäude des Bayerischen Staatsministeriums der Justiz, welches die oberen Etagen belegt. In den unteren Etagen befinden sich die meisten Zivilkammern des Landgerichts München I. Mit Fertigstellung des Münchner Strafjustizzentrums in der Nymphenburger Str. 16 im Jahre 1977 wurden die Strafkammern des Landgerichts München I vom Justizpalast dorthin verlegt.
Da das Gebäude trotz seiner Ausmaße bald zu klein geworden war, erbaute Thiersch 1905 westlich neben dem Justizpalast in den Formen nordischer Backsteingotik das sog. Neue Justizgebäude mit zwei Uhrtürmen, in dem sich heute der Bayerische Verfassungsgerichtshof und das Oberlandesgericht München befinden.
Im Februar 1943 fanden im Justizpalast vor dem Volksgerichtshof die Prozesse gegen die Mitglieder der Widerstandsgruppe Weiße Rose statt.
1962 war der Justizpalast Schauplatz des aufsehenerregenden Indizienprozesses gegen Vera Brühne.
Im März 2014 fand im Justizpalast der Strafprozess gegen Uli Hoeneß vor dem Landgericht München II statt. Zwar ist in München für alle Hauptverhandlungen in Strafsachen das Gebäude des Strafjustizzentrums in der Nymphenburger Straße vorgesehen. Der größte Gerichtssaal dort (Saal 101), der baulich auf ein großes Medieninteresse ausgelegt ist, war jedoch zu diesem Zeitpunkt mit dem NSU-Strafprozess gegen Beate Zschäpe belegt. Wegen des erwarteten Ansturms von Presse- und TV-Journalisten entschied man sich, die Hauptverhandlung gegen Uli Hoeneß ausnahmsweise im Justizpalast durchzuführen.
Gedenkstätten und Ausstellungen
Gedenken an die „Weiße Rose“
In Saal 253 erinnert eine Dauerausstellung an die Prozesse gegen die Mitglieder der Weißen Rose. Neben der Eingangstür erinnert eine Gedenktafel aus Plexiglas an die während der NS-Zeit entrechteten und verfolgten jüdischen Anwälte.
Im Innenhof unter der Glaskuppel (Lichthof) finden unregelmäßig Ausstellungen zu zeitgeschichtlichen Themen mit Bezug zur Justiz statt.

Following completion of the bridge supports, the steel box girders will be lifted onto the supports by large cranes, except for the section over the Cathcart Circle/West Coast Main Line rail lines and Pollokshaws Road where the beams will be ‘launched’ over the roads and rail lines by pushing with jacks. Two major temporary steel trestle supports will be erected either side of the rail lines to assist in temporarily supporting the bridge when it is being launched
From photographer's notes - "The project seems to be moving along to completion. Work going on all up and down the line. Venice Bl finally got paved around the Overpass. That was a endless nightmare traffic jam. Should never have taken years to finish this. Overpass seems completed. Overhead Catenrary Support poles and bracket arms installed. Copper is next to come. Going west we see the rail all in along with the support poles. At National / Palms station work seems to be wrapping up. The main entrance needs some more work but the platforms and
canopy's are nearing completion. Rail seems to be completed every where except for a few blocks on Colorado Ave near 5th Street."

The extension of MetroTram M17 from Schöneweide to Adlershof sees the completion of the second stage of improving public transport connections to the WISTA Science and Technology Park in Berlin-Adlershof, the first stage of which was completed in September 2011.
The new section between S Adlershof and S Schöneweide which replaces bus route 163 over this section and which will also be re-routed to open up new areas, includes five new tram stops. It will be served by tram routes M17 and 61, with the 24/7 M17 running every 10 minutes between 06:00 and 21:00, as well as tram route 63 which will be extended to Johannisthal Landschaftspark.
Mit der Verlängerung der MetroTram M17 von Schöneweide nach Adlershof wird die zweite Stufe der Straßenbahnanbindung des Wissenschafts- und Technologieparks WISTA in Berlin-Adlershof abgeschlossen, deren erste Stufe im September 2011 fertiggestellt wurde. Der neue Abschnitt zwischen S Adlershof und S Schöneweide umfasst fünf Haltestellen und ersetzt auf diesem Abschnitt die Buslinie 163, die ebenfalls neu geführt wird, um neue Gebiete zu erschließen. Sie wird von den rund um die Uhr Straßenbahnlinien M17 und 61 bedient, wobei die M17 zwischen 06:00 und 21:00 Uhr im 10-Minuten-Takt verkehrt, sowie von der Straßenbahnlinie 63, die bis zum Landschaftspark Johannisthal verlängert wird.
All that remains is to fit ballast. Its easy enough to fabricate a bulb of Lead, but should I? How about our nervous systems? I don't know if there is cause for alarm, but it seems wise to be cautious. So, I'm going to experiment with a lighter metal, Copper. More metal will be needed, but it shines so nice.
Played the single player mode through completion tonight. Was my first day off in 20 days..so nice to be able to relax!

Double bottoms near completion of ‘Nicola’, the first SD14 to be built by Austin & Pickersgill, 23 October 1967 (TWAM ref. DT.TUR/2/51703B).
This set celebrates the ‘Nicola’, the first in a long line of standard ships designed by the Sunderland shipyard of Austin & Pickersgill Ltd. The images document her construction from October 1967 through to her completion in February 1968. The shipbuilders commissioned the Newcastle-based firm Turners (Photography) Ltd to take weekly progress shots of the ‘Nicola’ and these images have given us a unique view of her development.
She was the first SD14 to be completed (the name stands for ‘Shelter Deck 14,000 tons deadweight’) and was designed as a replacement for the surviving ‘Liberty ships’, built by American yards during the Second World War. Those Liberty ships had played a vital role in the Allied victory but by the 1960s they were fast approaching the end of their working lives.
The SD14 developed by Austin & Pickersgill met the demand for economic and reliable cargo ships. The simplicity of the design meant that it could be marketed by the shipbuilders at a very competitive price. It’s success is reflected by the fact that over the course of 20 years 211 ships were built to the SD14 design by Austin Pickersgill and its licensees. Sunderland can be very proud of its remarkable shipbuilding and engineering history and the SD14 is one the City’s finest achievements.
