Leicester station is not the best of stations, certainly in the platform department. Plans are afoot to transform the station to re-instate the old bits.
I'm here at Leicester station to get to London with my bicycle.
I'll be riding the Dunwich Dynamo - a challenging free-entry overnight 120 mile bicycle ride on-tarmac from London Fields in Hackney, London to the Suffolk beach at Dunwich. We will return to London via the organised coach/trucking.
It’s not a race. It’s unsupported. There’s no van following. It’s a long way. It starts at around 20:00 tonight. It's quite an adventure.
Superlative contemporary and modern decorative arts, design and jewelry by internationally recognized museum class artists will be showcased by 55 international dealers from 12 countries at SOFA NEW YORK 2009.
Because the external arms are made mostly with pneumatic pieces, this grants the build some functionality which is demonstrated in these videos
The Alhambra (/ælˈhæmbrə/; Spanish: [aˈlambɾa]; Arabic: الْحَمْرَاء [ʔælħæmˈɾˠɑːʔ], Al-Ḥamrā, lit. "The Red One"),[Note 1][Note 2] the complete Arabic form of which was Qalat Al-Hamra,[Note 3] is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Arab emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls. It was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.[1] After the conclusion of the Christian Reconquista in 1492, the site became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella (where Christopher Columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered in the Renaissance style. In 1526 Charles I & V commissioned a new Renaissance palace better befitting the Holy Roman Emperor in the revolutionary Mannerist style influenced by Humanist philosophy in direct juxtaposition with the Nasrid Andalusian architecture, but which was ultimately never completed due to Morisco rebellions in Granada.
Alhambra's late flowering of Islamic palaces were built for the last Muslim emirs in Spain during the decline of the Nasrid dynasty who were increasingly subject to the Christian Kings of Castile. After being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, the buildings occupied by squatters, Alhambra was rediscovered following the defeat of Napoleon, who had conducted retaliatory destruction of the site. The rediscoverers were first British intellectuals and then other north European Romantic travelers. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions, exhibiting the country's most significant and well-known Islamic architecture, together with 16th-century and later Christian building and garden interventions. The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the inspiration for many songs and stories.[2]
Moorish poets described it as "a pearl set in emeralds," an allusion to the colour of its buildings and the woods around them.[3] The palace complex was designed with the mountainous site in mind and many forms of technology were considered. The park (Alameda de la Alhambra), which is overgrown with wildflowers and grass in the spring, was planted by the Moors with roses, oranges, and myrtles; its most characteristic feature, however, is the dense wood of English elms brought by the Duke of Wellington in 1812. The park has a multitude of nightingales and is usually filled with the sound of running water from several fountains and cascades. These are supplied through a conduit 8 km (5.0 mi) long, which is connected with the Darro at the monastery of Jesus del Valle above Granada.[4]
Despite long neglect, willful vandalism, and some ill-judged restoration, the Alhambra endures as an atypical example of Muslim art in its final European stages, relatively uninfluenced by the direct Byzantine influences found in the Mezquita of Córdoba. The majority of the palace buildings are quadrangular in plan, with all the rooms opening on to a central court, and the whole reached its present size simply by the gradual addition of new quadrangles, designed on the same principle, though varying in dimensions, and connected with each other by smaller rooms and passages. Alhambra was extended by the different Muslim rulers who lived in the complex. However, each new section that was added followed the consistent theme of "paradise on earth". Column arcades, fountains with running water, and reflecting pools were used to add to the aesthetic and functional complexity. In every case, the exterior was left plain and austere. Sun and wind were freely admitted. Blue, red, and a golden yellow, all somewhat faded through lapse of time and exposure, are the colors chiefly employed.[4]
The decoration consists for the upper part of the walls, as a rule, of Arabic inscriptions—mostly poems by Ibn Zamrak and others praising the palace—that are manipulated into geometrical patterns with vegetal background set onto an arabesque setting ("Ataurique"). Much of this ornament is carved stucco (plaster) rather than stone. Tile mosaics ("alicatado"), with complicated mathematical patterns ("tracería", most precisely "lacería"), are largely used as panelling for the lower part. Similar designs are displayed on wooden ceilings (Alfarje).[4] Muqarnas are the main elements for vaulting with stucco, and some of the most accomplished dome examples of this kind are in the Court of the Lions halls. The palace complex is designed in the Nasrid style, the last blooming of Islamic Art in the Iberian Peninsula, that had a great influence on the Maghreb to the present day, and on contemporary Mudejar Art, which is characteristic of western elements reinterpreted into Islamic forms and widely popular during the Reconquista in Spain. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra

Rogers Centre, originally named SkyDome, is a multi-purpose stadium in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada situated just southwest of the CN Tower near the northern shore of Lake Ontario. Opened in 1989 on the former Railway Lands, it is home to the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB). Previously, the stadium served as home to the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL), played an annual game at the stadium as part of the Bills Toronto Series from 2008 to 2013. While it is primarily a sports venue, it also hosts other large-scale events such as conventions, trade fairs, concerts, travelling carnivals, and monster truck shows.
The stadium was renamed "Rogers Centre" following the purchase of the stadium by Rogers Communications, which also bought the Toronto Blue Jays, in 2005. The venue was noted for being the first stadium to have a fully retractable motorized roof, as well as for the 348-room hotel attached to it, with 70 rooms overlooking the field. It is also the last North American major-league stadium built to accommodate both football and baseball. The stadium served as the site of both the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2015 Pan American Games. During the ceremonies, the site was referred to as the "Pan Am Dome" (officially as the "Pan Am Ceremonies Venue") instead of its official name.
SkyDome, called Rogers Centre since 2005, was designed by architect Rod Robbie and structural engineer Michael Allen and was constructed by the EllisDon Construction company of London, Ontario and the Dominion Bridge Company of Lachine, Quebec. The stadium's construction lasted about two and a half years, from October 1986 to May 1989. The approximate cost of construction was C$570 million ($966 million in 2016 dollars) which was paid for by the federal government, Ontario provincial government, the City of Toronto, and a large consortium of corporations.
The venue was the first major team sports stadium in North America with a functional, fully retractable roof (Montreal's Olympic Stadium also had a retractable roof, but due to operational issues, it was replaced with a permanent roof). The roof is composed of four panels and covers an area of 345,000 square feet (32,100 m2). The two middle panels slide laterally to stack over the north semi-circular panel, and then the south semi-circular panel rotates around the stadium and nests inside the stack. It takes 20 minutes for the roof to open or close.
The Renaissance Toronto Hotel is also located within Rogers Centre, with 70 rooms overlooking the field.

The HDPS is capable of performing complex heat treatments on sheet steel in controlled atmospheres before dipping in a bath of molten zinc alloy.
The HDPS allows us to investigate the interactions between the steel substrate and the coating before making changes in order to improve the final product. We are able to alter the chemistry of the bath to investigate the role of micro-additions on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of coatings.
This is the only HDPS in a European University and was built to our specification.

Watch this demonstration of the elegant and highly functional Rollglass+ (Red Dot Award Winner) sliding glass door system with smooth door glides, wide passage ways free of floor tracks, and the Klein Soft Closing System that eliminates door slamming and door bounce back. Click here for more images and information about the Rollglass+ installation at Abanca. https://klein-usa.com/commercial-projects/rollglass-abanca/ Northwest Spain's leading financial institution is called ABANCA. ABANCA is unique in that this institution not only offers traditional retail banking at its 627 locations across Spain but also a range of digital and online offerings. ABANCA opted for a major redesign of its office concept. One of their goals was to create spaces that were more open, comfortable and efficient for both clients and bank staff alike. ABANCA also wanted to create more inviting office spaces that foster a more collaborative atmosphere. They sought to better reflect their corporate philosophy and brand identity. The end result was a concept for a bold new communal space. Now in the implementation stage, this new concept centers around the proper utilization of well-lit, open and bright areas. These spaces feature commercial help desks, informal places for meetings as well as interactive unit areas. The new ABANCA concept is highly versatile. The ABANCA office space concept also quickly and easily accommodates privacy needs for clients and bank employees when the need arises. Each office space includes at least two meeting rooms that are separated from the general, open space via glass front and sliding doors. These glass front and sliding doors rest on a single recessed KLEIN ROLLGLASS+ glide. This approach allows for completely private yet not separate spaces. Clients and bank staff can benefit from privacy without forgoing elegance or spatial continuity. The project selected a highly minimalist ROLLGLASS+ application that was recessed into a drop ceiling. Since there is no lower profile for the fixed glass panel, the end result is a system that is virtually invisible. ABANCA seamlessly achieved their goal to transform their office spaces and achieve a free-flowing feeling. Now, the transition between open spaces and meeting rooms is both visually and physically effortless. Pre-existing architectural barriers have been minimized with striking results. ABANCA opted for a customized floor-to-ceiling glass, set atop smooth and completely silent door glides. The design allows for ample natural light to reach every corner of the office environment. Wide passageways free of floor tracks further add to the overall elegance of the clean and highly-functional design. The Klein Soft Closing System also features as a key component of the project. Thanks to this braking system, both door slamming and door bounce back have been eliminated. Through the ROLLGLASS+ System, complete architectural integration was achieved. The ROLLGLASS+ System's pre-frame track allows for precision and a beautiful and essentially invisible installation. The elegance and diverse features of ROLLGLASS+ made it an ideal choice for the ABANCA office space project. This year, ROLLGLASS+ won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award: Product Design 2018. Additionally, ROLLGLASS+ also had the distinction of being a finalist in the ADI-FAD Foundation 2018 DELTA Awards.
