These pictures were taken with my brand new Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 wide angle lens and I was just having some fun. The location for these pics is the University of Illinois, particularly the Main and Engineering Quad.

These are Dictyostelium cells tagged with GFP to see actin fibers in these cells. These cells start to aggregate together when they are starved for several hours and form mounds or aggregates of several single cells
The Google Engineering Philosophy
1. All developers work out of a ~single source depot; shared infrastructure!
2. A developer can fix bugs anywhere in the source tree.
3. Building a product takes 3 commands ("get, config, make")
4. Uniform coding style guidelines across company
5. Code reviews mandatory for all checkins
6. Pervasive unit testing, written by developers
7. Unit tests run continuously, email sent on failure
8. Powerful tools, shared company-wide
9. Rapid project cycles; developers change projects often; 20% time
10. Peer-driven review process; flat management structure
11. Transparency into projects, code, process, ideas, etc.
12. Dozens of offices around world => hire best people regardless of location
See my entry on Always Be Coding for more information.
Promotional thing from ICI.
I remember ICI used to be the archetypal Big, Scary Industrial Giant. Haven't heard anything of them for years. Do they even still exist?
The historic Montgomery Bell Tunnel is a water diversion tunnel on a tight bend in the Harpeth River in Cheatham County, Tennessee. The tunnel was constructed 1818-19 and is 290 ft long and roughly 8 ft tall by 15 ft wide. It was built to take advantage of the 17 ft drop in the river to operate an iron forge (called Patterson Forge).
Montgomery Bell Tunnel is likely the oldest tunnel built in the United States. It was recognized as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1981 by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 (NRHP No. 71000814 as the Patterson Forge). It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1994. The tunnel is now part of the Harpeth River State Park.
The National Historic Landmark Statement of Significance states:
"By tunneling through a 290-foot deep limestone ridge, Montgomery Bell created the first known water diversion tunnel in the United States; in fact, this is the oldest known full-size tunnel of any kind in the country. The tunnel, built between 1818 and 1819, served as a man-made water flume with an approximate 16 foot fall of water, which its owner planned to utilize as the central element of a water-powered industrial site. Bell's tunnel was almost certainly constructed using the long established method known as hand drilling, which utilized hand-held hammers, chisels, and black powder; the arduous labor was done by slaves."

Leith Docks are important to Edinburgh as they were and still are the cities link to the sea. Although the types of trade have changed over the years, many of the original dockside buildings survive as modern flats, cafes and pubs. Also surviving is this old swing bridge which lies across the Water of Leith.

In its 22nd year, the Engineering Expo is the college’s premier community outreach event. On average, the college welcomes more than 1,500 K-12 students from Miami-Dade and Broward County schools (elementary, middle, and high school) to the FIU Engineering Center to engage with FIU student organizations, researchers and staff, and to discover the endless possibilities of pursuing a degree in engineering or computing.
Western Engineering welcomed more than 50 alumni and friends back to campus on Sept. 26 as part of Western University's Homecoming weekend.
This year's annual open house was held in the Claudette MacKay-Lassonde Pavilion.

Sharpness Docks jetty.
The riverside entrance to the docks and the Gloucester ship canal is protected by this wooden construction. It reminds me of the little building projects I used to do as a youngster - sticks and crossbeams stuck together somehow so the whole thing stays up.
The scale here is a bit bigger and, like me I guess, has seen better days. If you've ever seen a canal boat or ship get the approach to a lock wrong because of misjudging the fickle currents, you will know that they can hit these guiding jetties with a terrific whallop. Fortunately wood is very flexible and can absorb most of the impact, but you can see the damage caused over time here.
I liked the geometry and the shapes and lines against the sparkling water, so thought it might make a reasonable subject for my 100x monochrome project for last year (#98).
The same image is also the starting point for a bit of Sliders Sunday art-play today so I shall link the in-camera original here as well, in the first comment.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x (2020)
