Where the Boston & Maine went to die.
It was the seventh video I ever favorited on YouTube, probably in 2006 or 2007. I finally made my pilgrimage.
ABOUT OTTO HAHN:
Otto Hahn, OBE, ForMemRS (8 March 1879 – 28 July 1968) was a German chemist and pioneer in the fields of radioactivity and radiochemistry. He is referred to as the father of nuclear chemistry. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1944 for the discovery and the radiochemical proof of nuclear fission. He served as the last President of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society in 1946 and as the founding President of the Max Planck Society from 1948 to 1960. Considered by many to be a model for scholarly excellence and personal integrity, he became one of the most influential and respected citizens of the new postwar country West Germany. Hahn was an opponent of national socialism and Jewish persecution by the Nazi Party. Albert Einstein (who was born six days after him) wrote that Hahn was "one of the very few who stood upright and did the best he could in these years of evil" After World War II, Hahn became a passionate campaigner against the use of nuclear energy as a weapon.
ABOUT THE EXPERIMENT:
The radiochemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann were bombarding elements with neutrons in their Berlin laboratory when they made an unexpected discovery. They found that while the nuclei of most elements changed somewhat during neutron bombardment, uranium nuclei changed greatly and broke into two roughly equal pieces. They split and became not the new transuranic elements that some thought Fermi had discovered but radioactive barium isotopes (barium has the atomic number 56) and fragments of the uranium itself. The substances Fermi had created in his experiments, that is, did more than resemble lighter elements; they were lighter elements. Importantly, the products of the Hahn-Strassmann experiment weighed less than that of the original uranium nucleus, and herein lay the primary significance of their findings. For it folIowed from Einstein's equation that the loss of mass resulting from the splitting process must have been converted into energy in the form of kinetic energy that could in turn be converted into heat. Calculations made by Hahn's former colleague, Lise Meitner, a refugee from Nazism then staying in Sweden, and her nephew, Otto Frisch, led to the conclusion that so much energy had been released that a previously undiscovered kind of process was at work. Frisch, borrowing the term for cell division in biology-binary fission-named the process fission. For his part, Fermi had produced fission in 1934 but had not recognized it.

Middagje naar Leiden geweest met de trein. Had ik zin in.
Op de terugweg even moeten wachten op de trein naar Den Haag Centraal. Niet erg, op een station is altijd wel iets te fotograferen, zeker aan het begin van het blauwe uurtje.

I visited the Amazon office London as I am doing some consultancy work for a company. I loved this statue at the front entrance and the person shows the relative size of the artwork. The statue is called In Anticipation by James Burke. It is inspired by the limitless possibilities of our next thought, move and action.
Sara Lee Corp. became Hillshire Brands Co. after spinning off its coffee and tea division in 2012. One year later, it moved its corporate headquarters back into Chicago to a 1947 building – formerly Bradner Paper Co. offices – at 400 S. Jefferson St. from Downers Grove. Shortly thereafter, following several complicated moves, the company was acquired by Tyson Foods.
NOTE: The new Illinois School of Osteopathic Medicine has announced it will move into the building in 2026.
Angling the camera upward from that floor shot (and, you know, five months later and all), I was able to get this shot of the café. I didn't have one uploaded previously, so here you go! Note that it's not exactly the most inviting what with all the boxes and other miscellaneous materials crammed everywhere. This problem shouldn't persist in the new, larger café that's probably going to have an exponential increase in the number of tables from these three!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

My home office just after I set it up properly - with a notebook PC and a desktop PC. New pics coming soon with upgraded hardware and a bit more effort in the styling department (new folders, etc... to give the place a bit more flair!)
2 pictures taken last Tuesday, which I kept for rainy days:
