Lighting the Locomotives – National Railway Museum
in Marketing, News, Photography, Sponsor
Lighting the Locomotives is a Teamwork Triumph at National Railway Museum The Great Hall at the National Railway Museum at York was the singularly impressive location for the 7th annual 'Locos in a Different Light' competition. Sponsored jointly by Ambersphere Solutions and Pulsar Light of Cambridge, the aim is to challenge six teams of students from different colleges across the UK who are studying technical lighting at Further and Higher education levels, to each light one of the iconic locomotives in the Museum's Great Hall. Each team is given a selection of lighting fixtures, an MA dot2 console and two hours to rig and programme their chosen design. Even for those not smitten by the sight and smell of these gigantic engines, there can be no doubting the very real challenge of successfully illuminating one of these heaving beasts of yesteryear. With a limited number of fixtures and with some of the locomotives up to sixty metres in length, not to mention being a 3600 canvas
Colour your City with Light
"Colour Your City with Light" For the fourth year running Pulsar Light is proud to be a part of e-Luminate Festival Cambridge 2016. Last year's event saw Pulsar illuminating the Fitzwilliam Museum with great effect. This year, Pulsar's very own Snowy Johnson in collaboration with lighting designer Susie Olczak had the task of illuminating the Senate House and the adjacent Old Schools with the installation being handled by Hawthorn. Susie's brief was to create a light experience, which the public could interact with whilst viewing the impressive Senate House. This was achieved by creating environment chases and linking them to a control panel which allowed passers by to engage in the spectacle and feel even more a part of the festival of light. Susie created a low energy interactive light installation using Pulsar equipment to illuminate the façade of Senate House. This interactive installation used complementary colours while challenging the audience to make choices
Genprise bank on Pulsar products for BiSB
in Installation, Marketing, News, Photography
Genprise banked on Pulsar products when it came to illuminating Bahrian Islamic Bank (BiSB) Bahrain Islamic Bank (BiSB), was established in 1979 as the first Islamic Commercial Bank in the Kingdom of Bahrain. It is an architectural landmark located at the main intersection/junction in the Diplomatic Area. The landmark building now boasts more than 600 Pulsar ChromaRange LED fixtures comprising of ChromaStrip25, ChromaPowerline 50 & 100, ChromaIn-Ground 50, ChromaStrip X3 around various areas of the building, with TriColour Chroma AR111's providing the up & down 'spark' light on each facade. The products for the scheme were chosen after a competitive process of finding the right solution for the complex brief. MSCEB were carefully selected by the client as the key Consultant to design a lighting scheme for BiSB that would reflect the values and traditions of the bank, and make the building an iconic feature in an area densely populated with numerous multi-storey

Convergent synthesis of polycyclic ethers via the intramolecular allylation of α-acetoxy ethers and subsequent ring-closing metathesis
Isao Kadota, Akio Ohno, Kumiko Matsuda, Yoshinori Yamamoto
The Lewis acid mediated reaction of α-acetoxy ethers 15-22 gave the corresponding cyclized products 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 32, 34, and 36 in good yields with high stereoselectivities. Those cyclized products were subjected to ring-closing metathesis to afford the polycyclic ethers 38-42, 44, and 45 in good yields. The usefulness of the present methodology was demonstrated by the convergent synthesis of the CDEF ring system of brevetoxin B (1) and the CDEFG ring system of gambierol (2).

Sorry if this (undoubtably) has come up before.
each group in its own namespace.  (Why not one namespace?
for blue's server.  Well, add one first, blue|server.  Heh heh!
if you have to ask, don't ask.
only knowing about the red namespace (no references to blue anywhere).
know about the blue namespace.
If you use tcp-ip, do the same for the network red|internet.
This is most definitely the right thing to use for the chaos networks.
will still have to add the nickname for the Internet networks.
Add blue namespace to the search path for the red namespace.
you can disk save the world.
that it is very difficult to undo this operation once it has been done.
find-site the other site but you will not merge the network objects.
namespace server. All this to service about 120 Lisp Machines around campus.
total number of lispms but at SCRC alone there are about 215.

This is the last thing I made before Miss Emily arrived. I've just found out where I wrote the pattern down so now I can post it!
I made it with 4 ply wool and 3.5mm hook. I've written it in US notation.
Stuff and add rattle or large bell. Attach to flower outer. I crocheted them together, they could also be stitched.
work in rows not rounds!
attatch to back of flower and stitch velcro to ends.
They look gorgeous and thanks for pinning my recipe!
Oh!! This is ADORABLE!!! And kids just LOVE these! I had one for my daughters' and they loved it!

Q: Drawing a scalloped rectangle I am trying to draw a scalloped rectangle with mouse like in below image

I am able to draw rectangle with code below

function Rectangle(start, end) {
  var w = (end.x - start.x);
  var h = (end.y - start.y);
  return ["M", start.x, start.y, "L", (start.x + w), start.y, "L", start.x + w, start.y + h, "L", start.x, start.y + h, "L", start.x, start.y].join(' ');
}

var point;
document.addEventListener('mousedown', function(event) {
  point = {
    x: event.clientX,
    y: event.clientY
  }
});

document.addEventListener('mousemove', function(event) {
  var target = {
    x: event.clientX,
    y: event.clientY
  }
  if(point) {
    var str = Rectangle(point, target);
    document.getElementById('test').setAttribute('d', str);
  }
});

document.addEventListener('mouseup', function(event) {
  point = null;
});
body, html {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0
}
svg {
  height:100%;
  width: 100%
}
<svg>
    <path id="test" style="stroke-width: 4; stroke: RGBA(212, 50, 105, 1.00); fill: none" />
  </svg>

But when I try to convert into scalloped rectangle I am seeing different patterns exactly matching Infinite Monkey Theorm
The approach I tried is, draw a rectangular path on a virtual element. Take each point at length multiplied by 15 till total length. Then drawing arcs between those points. It is not working. Also, I want to avoid using getPointAtLength because it's mobile support is not great.

var pathEle = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'path');
pathEle.setAttribute('d', rectangle(point, target));
window.pathEle = pathEle;

var points = [];
for (var i = 0; i < pathEle.getTotalLength(); i += 15) {
  points.push(pathEle.getPointAtLength(i));
}

document.getElementById('test1').setAttribute('d', toSVGPath(points));

A: Something like this?
I'm using arcs to make the scallops.  You may want to tweak how the scallops are calculated to get better corners. But I'll leave that to you.

var scallopSize = 30;

function Rectangle(start, end) {
  var minX = Math.min(start.x, end.x);
  var minY = Math.min(start.y, end.y);
  var w = Math.abs(end.x - start.x);
  var h = Math.abs(end.y - start.y);

  // Calculate scallop sizes
  var numW = Math.round(w / scallopSize);
  if (numW === 0) numW = 1;
  var numH = Math.round(h / scallopSize);
  if (numH === 0) numH = 1;
  var stepW = w / numW;
  var stepH = h / numH;

  // top
  var p = minX + stepW/2;  // start each size at half a scallop along
  var path = ["M", p, minY];
  for (var i=1; i < numW; i++) {   // numW-1 scallops per side
    p += stepW;
    path.push('A');
    path.push(stepW/2 + 1);   // Add 1 to the radius to ensure it's
    path.push(stepW/2 + 1);   // big enough to span the stepW
    path.push("0 0 1");
    path.push(p);
    path.push(minY);
  }
  // top right
  var p = minY + stepH/2;
  path.push('A');
  path.push(stepH/2.8);  // 2 * sqrt(2)
  path.push(stepH/2.8);  // corners are a little smaller than the scallops
  path.push("0 0 1");
  path.push(minX + w);
  path.push(p);
  // right
  for (var i=1; i < numH; i++) {
    p += stepH;
    path.push('A');
    path.push(stepH/2 + 1);
    path.push(stepH/2 + 1);
    path.push("0 0 1");
    path.push(minX + w);
    path.push(p);
  }
  // bottom right
  var p = minX + w - stepW/2;
  path.push('A');
  path.push(stepH/2.8);
  path.push(stepH/2.8);
  path.push("0 0 1");
  path.push(p);
  path.push(minY + h);
  // bottom
  for (var i=1; i < numW; i++) {
    p -= stepW;
    path.push('A');
    path.push(stepW/2 + 1);
    path.push(stepW/2 + 1);
    path.push("0 0 1");
    path.push(p);
    path.push(minY + h);
  }
  // bottom left
  var p = minY + h - stepH/2;
  path.push('A');
  path.push(stepH/2.8);
  path.push(stepH/2.8);
  path.push("0 0 1");
  path.push(minX);
  path.push(p);
  // left
  for (var i=1; i < numH; i++) {
    p -= stepH;
    path.push('A');
    path.push(stepH/2 + 1);
    path.push(stepH/2 + 1);
    path.push("0 0 1");
    path.push(minX);
    path.push(p);
  }
  // top left
  path.push('A');
  path.push(stepH/2.8);
  path.push(stepH/2.8);
  path.push("0 0 1");
  path.push(minX + stepW/2);
  path.push(minY);
  path.push('Z');

  return path.join(' ');

Cornerwise is a special connecting and sealing piece which securely attaches Edgestrips which are used along the sides of the cathode plates to the ones used along the bottom of the plate. The Cornerwise piece connects Edgewise profiles of any slot size and strongly clamps them together at the corner of the cathode plate using the same strong mechanism.
The seal attached to the Cornerwise connector seals the small metal strip remaining on the side of the cathode plate, preventing electroplating in this area. This forms a secure continuous protected sealed edge to the cathode plate along all three sides.
Fit bottom profile first without spreader bar (should be flush with both sides of the plate) and then both side profiles so that side profiles are on top of bottom profile.
Place rubber seal on the longer side of corner bar and push it into its corner against the flat disc. Hold it against the side and bottom profiles with the longer bar (and seal) against the side profile. Using a rubber mallet, hammer the bottom section of corner bar on first and then the side section (which includes the seal).
Place the bottom spreader bar up to the end of the fitted corner bar and hammer into place to fix the bottom Edgestrip. Place the side spreader bar (on same corner) against the end of the fitted corner bar and hammer into place to fix the side Edgestrip.
Attach the other corner bar in the same way as above. Attach the final side spreader bar and complete process by trimming the excess tape from both sides and bottom of the cathode plate.

Diplomat Says Mercosur Should Seek More Food Exports to China
ARGENTINA - The Southern Common Market (Mercosur) should have a bigger share in China's food imports, said Diego Guelar, Argentina's ambassador to China, on Friday.
Mercosur, which groups Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, has been the leading farm product exporter to China, representing 24 per cent of China's total imports, followed by the United States with 20 per cent, said Mr Guelar.
However, Mercosur's share could be bigger by having a common agenda and sitting down with China to negotiate free trade terms, Mr Guelar added.
"It is a market with a robust appetite for foreign products, especially for food," said Mr Guelar, indicating China is home to more than 300 million high-end consumers, presenting exporters with untapped opportunities.
Mr Guelar was in Buenos Aires for a presentation on meat and poultry exports during an agricultural expo.
China is Argentina's leading agricultural trade partner, its second largest trade partner overall, and its third-largest foreign investor.

I felt weird most of this week; I think much of that is due to having had to have a root canal early in the week and because of my intense gag reflex, I was forced to be put under anesthesia. It was done very professionally, but I still have to go back for a crown.
I shared a really good comedy piece via Netflix streaming called Homecoming King by Hasan Minaj, a correspondent for The Daily Show. It's a brilliant piece of work of standup that was very personal and topical about the immigrant experience in the last few decades. Well worth seeing.
We also finished watching the first season of Homeland via Netflix disc. I'm really not sure how I feel about the season, but we'll be starting season two soon.
I also dabble a bit with Amazon Prime. Originally I downloaded a number of video files to my iPad, but it appears that Prime only allows you a certain amount of time to see those files before they delete themselves. I blew through several shows that I didn't find as interesting as I had hoped; I also watched some episodes of a show about people restoring armored vehicles of historic interest. I also touched on Fortitude and The Man in the High Castle but I'm not sure if I'll continue them.
Yesterday we went to the Norco Equestrian Academy where forestcats has been getting some horse refreshers because they were having a trail ride with a light lunch. I helped set up the lunch at a park up in the Norco hills with one of the owners of the Academy and then helped again with takedown. Afterwards, I had a chance to bit of walking down memory lane, in that when I was a child occasionally on Sundays after Suncay school we would drive twenty miles north to Milwaukee to have a late lunch at Bob's Big Boy. Well, there's one in Norco, one of only five left in California apparently, and so I had myself a hamburger just like I would have fifty years ago. The major difference was that the Big Boy statue outside was wearing a cowboy hat (or course, in Norco). A few more adventures one way or another thereupon ensued, ending in play with the new kitten.
Today is Memorial Day. I find myself recalling the Veterans who I've known as friends, and who I've treated as patients who served their country in ways civilians can hardly understand. To those who lost their lives, thanks are hardly enough, but from me, you have them.


It's an opportunity most undergrads never get.
Little wonder, then, that Natasha Healey jumped at the chance to help run one of Memorial's most progressive science labs – one of only two in Canada and one of four such facilities in North America.
The third-year undergraduate geography and earth sciences student in the bachelor of science program manages the Civic Laboratory for Environmental Action Research (CLEAR), a feminist, anti-colonial lab specializing in monitoring plastic pollution.
As manager, she says she organizes lab meeting times, does upkeep of the lab and manages members' hours.
"In terms of technician work, I cut open the digestive tract of marine animals and go through water trawls in an effort to look for microplastics," Ms. Healey told the Gazette during a visit to the facility, tucked away in a corner of the first floor of the Science building on the St. John's campus.
Watch the video below to learn more about what Ms. Healey does in the lab and why.
The research, Ms. Healey says, is unique and keeps her connected to her family's roots.
Originally from Forteau, Labrador, and currently living in Paradise, N.L., Ms. Healey is a non-resident member of NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC).
Her position was created through a partnership between NCC and the lab's director, Dr. Max Liboiron, associate vice-president (Indigenous research) pro tempore. Through that collaboration, students from NCC get to process samples from their land.
"For me, not living in Labrador anymore, processing these samples is a very unique way to connect with the land my family is from," said Ms. Healey.
Natasha Healey says working in CLEAR keeps her connected to her family's roots.
Since so many people eat wild country food, Ms. Healey says marine microplastic research is critical.
"Plastics are great absorbers of oily chemicals, chemicals that people should not be ingesting," she said.
Natasha Healey says marine microplastic research is critical.
With the new knowledge and experiences she's gained from working in CLEAR, Ms. Healey says she is eager to continue her studies and has her sights set on graduate school.

What Could Video On Hold Messages Do For Business?
The concept of video on hold messages didn't make sense until recently. In fact, it's still a rather unique proposition, since most people use smartphones to go online or to simply talk to other people. But the concept of having on hold messages on video actually makes sense when you think about it. It's sort of like using video marketing on YouTube and on your website, except that now you also show those videos to your callers.
It's a lot less boring. This is perhaps one of the most significant improvements of video messages over audio. You have to understand that people who call up companies and customer support are rather impatient. They get bored easily when all they get is audio. But this time they get video, and video is a lot more engrossing. Lots of people use their smartphones to watch YouTube videos, and with the right video you can get their attention. What's more, you can most likely have them wait longer than just a few seconds.
Companies can get their message across more effectively. This time the callers don't have to work too hard trying to decipher what the message said. Now you have both audio and video to show people just what kind of message you want to impart. If you're advertising one of your newest products, they can now see it for themselves, and perhaps you can even show the products in action.
Videos are one of the most effective ways of explaining processes and describing details. You can simply show your audience what you mean. You can demonstrate a new product in action and describe what it does.
It doesn't have to cost all that much. Producing videos doesn't have to be expensive, especially when you start with simple animation. But even more sophisticated videos are worthwhile investments, because you can also use them for your website, your Facebook page, and YouTube channel.
It's unique. This benefit may not last long, since the use of video on hold messages can become popular very quickly. But using this type of on hold message could certainly differentiate your company from your competitors. You come across as more advanced and a lot more customer-friendly.
You can answer FAQs. The video can provide answers to some questions so that the caller won't need an actual person to talk to them.
So what kind of video on hold messages can you show? You can show any type, though it helps if you do keep the length of the video short. You can do product advertisements and demonstrations, or show proper maintenance procedures for certain items. You can advertise discounts and sales too.
You can also feature a link to your own website or YouTube channel so that your callers pick the videos they want to watch while they wait. Just don't let them wait too long though—they still need to contact you!
Video On Hold messages aren't presently a reality but you never know what's around the corner to disrupt the traditional ways of on hold messaging.

What Cities have the largest Sikh populations? I believe that 1. Amritsar 2. Ludhiana 3. Jallandar have the largest number of Sikhs. Please correct me if this is wrong!
H Singh
"No. Sikhism does not allow the use of alcohol or any other intoxicants for leisure use."
1. Does this include caffeine? Why or why not? If not, then how is caffeine different from other drugs that it isn't in that category of "bad drugs".
2. I know taking drugs for medical use it okay, because the doctors give you a safe amount so you will not get intoxicated or addicted. So does that mean if it's okay to do drugs in small amounts, such as cannabis or having rum cake, which has a small amount of alcohol?
I'm just answering these questions for my friend because he is saying that caffeine is a drug too and that you cannot drink drinks that have it it because it is an intoxicant too. I've answered that you don't see people falling over, acting drunk, committing crimes or saying "I want more caffeine or I will die". Nor do you see people drinking one can of coke or a cup of tea saying "I want more, I need more!". Also he has said "An overdose of caffeine, usually more than 300 milligrams, dependent on body weight and level of caffeine tolerance, can result in a state of central nervous system over-stimulation called caffeine intoxication. The symptoms of caffeine intoxication are not unlike overdoses of other stimulants. It may include restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushing of the face, increased urination, gastrointestinal disturbance etc."
I would just like your views on this.
Amaritpal Singh
A1. Tea and coffee have been popular drinks that have been taken for centuries by many communities in the world; to now say that these are intoxicant is foolish. I can drink 10 cups and still walk in a straight line! All the Guru says about these types of foods is not to take those foods that cause discomfort or pain to the body; also to take a little of anything and never to indulge in anything just for the satisfaction of the senses.
Science will continue to progress and we will be bombarded with millions of bits of data all the time, resulting in a situation where we cannot process this information in a logical manner. Also, remember partial data can result in incorrect conclusion. So only draw conclusions when a full and comprehensive study has been carried out.
Then investigate the facts based on science but also on history and on Gurmat. So far as I can make out, if tea and coffee in moderation does not cause any discomfort or irritation in your body then that is fine; otherwise don't take it! For most people it is a relaxing drink which has no ill effect on the mind or body.
A2. As Sikhs, we should take our guidance first from our Guru then from science and society. Let us just review some of things that the Guru has promoted and what science/society used to promoted previously:
What the Guru said
What science/society believed
1. 1500 lakhs of planets, solar system & galaxies limited solar system, sun & stars orbit earth; no life elsewhere
2. 1600 Equality for women; allowed full rights Women inferior; not allowed to vote; no real rights
3. 1700 Guru Gobind Singh say "no to tobacco" Tobacco not harmful; encouaged by science and society
4. 1700 no to alcohol Alcohol is good for you
5. 1700 no to meat Meat is good for you!
6. 1700 Treat the earth, oceans & air with respect Pollution and industry are good for society; no appreciation of the environment
I hope you can see that the Guru has told us things that we are just beginning to learn from Science; so it makes sense to listen to the Guru as most of the things said by the Guru have turned out to be true!
Now going back to your question: When a doctor gives you a drug, it is to improve something that has gone wrong in your body; the doctor knows what is wrong and which medicine will make it better. Now when we take drugs ourselves, we take them for the taste or to "get a high"; we don't take them to get well as we are not doctors and don't understand the multiple effects of these drugs.
So there is a big difference! Now, if we cannot stop taking something even if we know that it does not help us or do us any good, then we have become addicted to it; we have become a slave of the drug. This is a serious situation. You need to understand that when one cannot stop taking a drug that is classed as a drug then this has become a problem for the person.
Now, because you cannot stop, you will find clever reasons why you take the drug; your mind will play tricks with you! It will try and show you other examples like caffeine, etc and try and make it look innocent and justify its use. But don't let these tricks defeat you.
It is very important to look after your body and treat it with respect; you only have the one and it has to last you a long time. Get serious and take action. To defeat any habit is a big challenge; it is not easy; you will need all the help you can get. Your friend who has this problem need your help - you will need a few of your friends to work with him or her.
Support is the key and Ardas is the answer. Together go to the Guru and do ardas daily; then keep busy in sewa and simran and other positive activities; keep away from bad sangat - people who do drugs - do not leave the friend alone unless he/she is going to rest. That way, with the support and positivity in your life, you will gradually turn away from this addiction.
Guru's blessings, Hari Singhtalk 00:35, 3 November 2009 (UTC) '''Why do women have to cover their head?'''
Why do women have to always keep their head covered? Is there anything said in Gurbani that tells you to do so?
Why do Sikhs wear a turban?
"Around your neck is a rosary, and on your forehead is a sacred mark; upon your head is a turban, and you wear two loin  cloths. If you
knew the nature of God, you would know that all of these beliefs and rituals are in vain." (SGGS p470)
Logic/Reason and worship
I hope this question doesn't come across as offensive. I'm very interested in Sikhi, as its values and philosophies align nicely with my own, but there is just one thing bothering me.
Sikhs are forbidden from engaging in "illogical" behaviors like fasting or pilgrimage, but the very foundation of Sikhi is belief in and prayer to an unfathomable, eternal god. This FAQ page says that the existence of god is similar to the existence of electromagnetic waves, but electromagnetic waves have actually been observed, it's possible to see their influence in the world. Everything that would be explained by a god's existence -- the creation of the world, the creation of humanity, etc -- already have perfectly sound scientific explanations. There is no observable evidence for the existence of a god that cannot be explained by science.
I really, truly do not mean any offense, and I don't think there's anything wrong with faith in something imperceivable. I just don't understand how a religion with a tenet of rejecting illogical behavior can form around an unproven god. - CuriousSkeptic (talk) 18:45, 13 March 2014 (CDT)

Ragged Dick
By: Horatio Alger Jr.
Narrated by: Don Hagen
Ragged Dick is the story of a young bootblack living and working in the streets of a post-Civil War New York City. It follows his rise from a street kid to the respectable middle class. The original publication came to depict a time of post-war struggle through the eyes of its young victims, vagabond children. Originally written as young-adult moral tales using the classic rags-to-riches theme, Ragged Dick is also Algers' timeless snapshot into an all but forgotten period in American history.
