Looking toward Washington Street, Exchange Street to right (1898).

I remember this building from a history project I did when I was in Public School. Many of our families branches on both sides lived in Massachusetts.

Boston Public Library Photo stream is on Flicker.

The National Archives also has many photos including previously unseen photos of Lincoln's inauguration.

Adobe Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ: ADBE) today announced the immediate availability of Adobe® Acrobat® Connect(TM) Pro amid positive early response from customers for the product's powerful online meeting and rapid training capabilities.

Organizations and schools of all sizes are using Acrobat Connect Pro to engage with employees, customers, partners, and students more effectively. Customers including the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), FoodSHIELD, Grundfos, Holland & Knight, Penn State, Philips Healthcare, Reuters, Toshiba America Business Solutions (TABS), and the Graduate School, USDA leverage the Adobe software to support a range of collaboration and eLearning activities.

Quotes:

"We have implemented Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro to better engage sales and distribution channels outside the corporate network," said Douglas Dell, global director, Learning Services, Philips Healthcare. "Because Acrobat Connect Pro content is delivered via the ubiquitous Adobe Flash® Player, our eLearning programs are easily available to authorized users on most any digital device. Equally important, the content and meetings can be delivered securely and reliably inside medical organizations' firewalls."

"Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro enables instructors to create high-impact training sessions that increase engagement and knowledge retention," said Eric Hoffman, managing partner, EJH & Associates and technical lead at FoodSHIELD, a central portal where people in all 50 states work collectively to safeguard the national food supply through secure, integrated resources. "Intuitive class management capabilities and seamless video, audio, and multimedia integration rival the traditional classroom experience, while keeping the focus on the content, not the technology."

"Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro offers the same advantages as instructor-led classes, enabling us to engage with our audience anywhere at anytime," said Ole Kristensen, senior eLearning consultant at Grundfos, the world's largest manufacturer of circulation pumps. "We can get their feedback and engage with them in meaningful discussions using the enhanced interactive features in Acrobat Connect Pro."

"The latest version of Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro has even more interactive features to increase engagement and overall satisfaction," said Paul Fell, manager of eLearning and Holland & Knight, one of the 20 largest law firms in the U.S. "Participants in real-time, online meetings can interact more fully in sessions by using intuitive controls in the interface to raise their hands, respond to questions, and communicate immediate feedback during talks."

Spooky night in Neuchatel

 

A reader from Neuchatel, Switzerland took this picture. He said the fog comes in off the lake and makes the 12th Century Collegial Church an eerie place to be at 2AM.

Mariner 10 moon photo shows the scars of meteor hits.

 

 

The  Mariner 10 image of Mercury's southwest quadrant reveals the amount of destruction brought upon the planet by comets and meteors. Since Mercury has no atmosphere, every object coming its way is able to score a direct hit. This image was taken from the spacecraft where it made it's closest pass to the planet at a distance of about 120,000 miles. The largest craters are about 60 miles in diameter

The Mariner 10 spacecraft was launched in 1974. The spacecraft took images of Venus in February 1974 on the way to three encounters with Mercury in March and September 1974 and March 1975. The spacecraft took more than 7,000 images of Mercury, Venus, the Earth and the Moon during its mission. The Mariner 10 Mission was managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for NASA's Office of Space Science in Washington, D.C. 

Here's the link to current  photos, 33  years  after the Mariner mission ended.  JPL Photojournal

Sound Check! Whats going on...On your Computer

I wouldn't doubt it everybody loves music whatever background or situation they're in. You might not be in any condition to dance to some music, but it certainly can help stimulate your mind or motivate you.
