The large Hadron Collider stopped for Christmas, but we are definitely not. If anything the rate data analysis increases, perhaps driven by the desire to obtain a change in 2010 publications as much as possible.
Tuesday, I gave a presentation on it at the school of Barnet where my wife teaches. My first time at the end of the Northern line. A packed room and so many good questions that I was in danger of extinction my flight to Geneva. No time to go home, as expected, I had to buy a toothbrush and some clothes to Heathrow.
Normally, the toothbrush thing is not a problem, I have all things in a dish UCL leases in Geneva for regular commuters. But this time I get Evian les Bains. That meant a tramway in Geneva Eaux-Vives...
The image is correct, but it cannot capture the smell of urine obsolete.
It's the end of the French Railway in Geneva. In a chic neighbourhood of one of the richest cities in the world, and French railways are in my excellent experience. But it is a covered graffiti, toilets to edge up and turning over there at 9 a.m. after a slightly fast-paced journey and find that I had missed the last train were not a climax.
If you affiliate stations of trams and trains around in Geneva and Lausanne Swiss end points, you get a good overview of the border (very complex) Franco-suisse I estimate. The Swiss are serious local public transport. The French less. They have their TGV, but judging by Geneva Eaux-Vives, the SNCF is particularly off to impress the Geneva.
I arrived in Evian ultimately, where we spent the day discussing a publication for MCnet, a project funded physical simulation software (such as JIMMY, see previous post). By coincidence, the hotel was filled with CERN Accelerator physicists, since the meeting of the LHC end-of-run was there also.
This is the point of view on Lake Geneva, like the inhabitants of the meeting room.
Then return to the Switzerland and CERN, for other meetings. As indicated by law, we have a lot of them. But none of these seemed terribly useless, even one where I am fairly heated on the definition of an electron. These are meetings on the frontier of physics, which is an interesting place.

POLS, I wonder if the grocers apostrophe the in law is deliberate. I have to ask.
