Pas de victoire pour Tim Merieux cette fois, mais tout de même sur le podium avec une troisième place derrière Ilann Dupont et Cédric Couturier ! Bravo :-)

Aquatics Centre
for London 2012.
It forms part of the gateway to the Olympic Park – more than two-thirds of spectators will enter the Park at the south-east corner via a bridge that forms part of the venue’s roof.
The design and build
With a capacity of 17,500, the Aquatics Centre’s spectacular wave-like roof is 160m long and up to 80m wide – giving it a longer single span than Heathrow Terminal 5.
The venue features a 50m competition pool, a 25m competition diving pool, a 50m warm-up pool and a ‘dry’ warm-up area for divers. Construction on the venue began in July 2008 and was completed in July 2011.
The venue’s roof proved to be one of the most complex engineering challenges of the Olympic Park big build. Its skeletal structure rests on just two concrete supports at the northern end of the building and a supporting ‘wall’ at its southern end. This steel framework was initially constructed on temporary supports, before the entire 3,000-tonne structure was lifted up 1.3m in a single movement and successfully placed back down on to its permanent concrete supports.
Work began on the inside of the venue once the roof was in position. The three pools were dug out, lined, filled with water and tested, before they were fitted with more than 180,000 tiles.After the Games
The Aquatics Centre will be transformed into a facility for the local community, clubs and schools, as well as elite swimmers, attracting an anticipated 800,000 visitors a year. All the pools have moveable booms and floors to create different depths and pool sizes, so it can be used by swimmers of all abilities and experience. After the Games, the venue’s operator after the Games will be Greenwich Leisure Limited
The two temporary wings will be removed – reducing its capacity to 2,500 – although it will be possible to increase the venue capacity for major competitions.
The venue will also feature a creche, family-friendly changing facilities and a cafe, alongside a new public plaza in front of the building.
Various power sits in the yard at Bensenville, IL. Of most interest here is the third unit, CP 6606, which is a former SOO SD40-2. Ex-SOO SD40-2s are very rarely seen in the United States!

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- When engineers from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory brainstormed on how to improve Soldier lethality, the idea of a third arm seemed like something that might help.
Mechanical engineer Dan Baechle carefully planned out a device that doesn't need batteries, is lightweight and can evenly distribute the load of a heavy weapon.
"It can help stabilize the weapon and take the load off of their arms," he said. "It's made from composite materials to make it as light as possible, but also to ensure the range of motion that Soldiers need."

We are having building work at the back of our house. There are several recurring motifs running through this project, namely maximum expense, major disruption and stress. In fairness, the builders are good. But it is a 4 month project. And 4 months can pass very slowly.
There have been high points. In August, my eldest said "Daddy, we've got a moat!", as the foundation trenches filled with rainwater. They had to be pumped out. Twice.
We have had no kitchen nor running water downstairs for 8 weeks. Roll on end of November. "It will all be worth it" is the phrase of the month.
Workers align the third rail to make sure it's in just the right spot for where third rail shoes under trains will make contact with it.
On Saturday, workers replaced third rail near Bryn Mawr on the Red Line Saturday to help ensure continued, reliable power delivery to Red Line trains in the area. The "third rail" (also known as "contact rail") is the electrified rail through which power is delivered to our trains.
One segment at a time, workers removed existing sections of rail and replaced it with heavier-gauge sections, which can provide better conductivity. Each section is seated on insulated third rail chairs, bolted together with adjacent sections and smoothed out at joints. Welders also come out and connect the rail to the power system using jumper cables.
The rail that's been removed will be reused for other important power delivery improvements, later—an efficient and sustainable practice we employ to make the most of the materials at our disposal.
The section replaced on Saturday morning and afternoon was on the Howard-bound Red Line track and measures in at about 1900 feet, or about 580 meters, in length. To put the heft of this work into perspective, the base, steel component of third rail that was installed weighs about 85lbs. for every three feet of rail—this doesn't include the weight of aluminum that's affixed to the rail for added electrical conductivity, bolts, insulators and other components that are a part of delivering power to trains. The total weight of the steel part of the rail moved just on Saturday is upwards of 52 tons.

It's actually a little past it but I just paid up again-must have gotten a bonus month at some point
My first photo uploaded (aren't you surprised it's Loki? LOL!)
My first Explore Page
been a long time since that's happened-LOL!
my most viewed
Dawn from the cliffs as sunrise approached, until the very top of the sun could be seen.
We looked out the back of the house this morning and saw it looked like it was going to be a wonderful sunrise.
So, quickly dressed after coffee and a quick drive to the cliff tops, and this was the scene that greeted us.
Standby for more sunrise shots.......
The Third Silesian Uprising was the last and largest and longest of the three uprisings.
The Third Silesian Uprising began on May 2–3, 1921, with Polish destruction of German rail bridges in order to thwart immediate German measures to suppress the uprising. A particular concern was to prevent a recurrence of the many acts of violence that had been perpetrated against the populace by German paramilitary groups, the Freikorps, which had ostensibly been created to support the German border-protection police. The Freikorps comprised mostly volunteers and demobilised German soldiers.
After an initial success of the insurgents, taking over a large portion of the area of Upper Silesia, the German Grenzschutz several times resisted the attacks of Wojciech Korfanty's Polish troops, some cases in cooperation with British and Italian troops. An attempt on the part of the British troops to take steps against the Polish forces was prevented by General Jules Gratier, the French commander-in-chief of the Allied troops. Eventually, the insurgents kept most of territory they had won, including the local industrial district. They proved that they could mobilize large amounts local support, while the German forces based outside Silesia were barred from taking an active part in the conflict.
Twelve days after the outbreak of the insurrection Korfanty offered to take his troops behind a line of demarcation (the "Korfanty Line"), conditional upon the released territory not being re-occupied by German forces, but by Allied troops. It was not, however, until July 1 that the British troops arrived in Upper Silesia and began to advance in company with those of the other Allies towards the former frontier. Simultaneously with this advance the 'Inter-Allied Commission' pronounced a general amnesty for the illegal actions committed during the insurrection, with the exception of acts of revenge and cruelty. The German Grenzschutz was withdrawn and disbanded.

It was sunny day. The sky was so clear. Based on building7, I've tried to take a picture of rule of third.
This photo shows the daisy chain that my friends and I made in a field as you can see in the photo in is situated on the farthest left line on the grid making it a rule of thirds photo.
this picture gives you more of a view of the warehouse with the rule of thirds being used with me crouching on the only dry spot with sunlight shining through the roof

Remark: Constructed in 1939, this building was used to replace the high school located directly across Third Street that was constructed in 1912. Both the 1912 and 1939 high school buildings still stand [2020]. The photographer was facing northeast when taking this photograph.
