  • Mclaren High School Former Pupils' Newsletter
    McLaren High School Dear Friends of McLaren High School Welcome to the 2015 edition of the Former Pupils newsletter. I hope the following articles give you a flavour of what has been going on at McLaren High School during Session 2014/15. As you will see we continue to be a very busy, thriving and productive school community. 50th Anniversary Celebration – McLaren Five 0:50 Years at Mollands Road McLaren High School celebrates 50 years at the Mollands Road campus after the move from the old school building in Bridgend, now Callander Primary. A number of events are taking place on Saturday 5 September to help celebrate this milestone and includes Sports Matches, Tours of the School & Exhibition and also a Ceilidh. It would be great to see many FPs come and join us. More information regarding these events can be found at the back of the newsletter. Orchestra Tour 2014 After over a year of planning and months of rehearsing a party of seventy pupils and nine staff left for Spain in June 2014 to embark on a week-long tour playing four concerts on the Costa Brava. The first concert in Lloret de Mar was going well until a thunder storm approached and the group had to cut short the performance. The theme for Star Wars has never been played so fast, or with lighting (or was it lightning!?) effects. The pupils showed great professionalism in dismantling the orchestra and PA system and loading up all the equipment on the bus in less than ten minutes before the heavy rain came on! The group visited Barcelona, taking in the sights and sounds of La Rambla with street performers, shops and cafes.

  • Free Piston Stirling Engines
    1 Free Piston Stirling Engines The story of a novel remote power solution that helps companies improve efficiency, decrease cost and reduce emissions Dan Midea | VP Sales and Marketing Isaac Garaway | CTO John Sine | Consultant 2 A New Power Solution for Off-the-Grid Pipelines Combining a 19th Century Technology With 21st Century Power Electronics Provides Cost-Effective Power. Ever since there have been gas and oil pipelines, there has been a need for a remote power source to provide electricity for off-the-grid remote locations. And since that need first arose, there has been a competition to provide the ideal generator that could deliver the power required that was affordable and reliable. Off-Grid Solutions? Until very recently, the choices available always involved compromises and none provided a totally acceptable solution for pipeline companies. First was the obvious – expanding the grid to reach the pipeline. It was also the most expensive due to permitting cost and timeline and therefore was quickly replaced, in most instances by internal combustion engines. But they required fuel shipments and frequent maintenance and repair, often causing downtime for the wells and transmission pipelines. 3 Fortunately, a new solution has recently appeared that gives all indications of solving the most challenging problems of remote power generation. Ironically, it is based on a technology that is more than 200 years old and invented by a clergyman – the Stirling Cycle External Combustion Engine. But before we look at how this old technology has been modernized to fit the needs of the pipeline industry, we’ll look briefly at the technologies it can replace and their attendant problems.

  • On the Xxiii Biennial Congress on Human Ethology in Stirling, Scotland
    Human Ethology Bulletin 32 (2017)1- Proc. of the XXIII Biennial ISHE Congress: 1-5 Letter from the Editorial Board A HIGHLAND FLING TO REMEMBER: A SHORT REPORT ON THE XXIII BIENNIAL CONGRESS ON HUMAN ETHOLOGY IN STIRLING, SCOTLAND Caroline Allen Center of Behaviour and Evolution, NewcastleUniversity, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK [email protected] The University of Stirling, nestled between the Scottish cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, was the stage for the 23rd Biennial Congress on Human Ethology, in August 2016. In true ISHE spirit, the organising committee were keen to create as many opportunities as possible for delegates to immerse themselves in Scottish culture and tradition, and organised a packed calendar of social events. This began with an opening ceremony with a piper, and live performances of traditional Scottish dancing by the Stirling Highland Dancers (with socially mandated audience participation, see figure 1!), This was followed by dinner and whiskey tasting overlooking the beautiful University campus, cloaked in the shadow of the Ochil Hills. Figure 1 Native Scots demonstrating local Highland Dancing and piping rituals to naïve travellers. After some persuasion the delegates bravely attempted the ancient, intimidating, and much revered Highland Fling. Allen, C.: Letter from the Editorial Board Human Ethology Bulletin 32 (2017)1- Proc. of the XXIII Biennial ISHE Congress: 1-5 On Tuesday evening delegates were tasked with foraging for their own meals in the small spa town of Bridge of Allan, just north of Stirling. The majority of delegates overcame this challenge with ease, making their way to the Allanwater Brewhouse to sample the selection local ale (This gruelling research practice is detailed in figure 2).

  • Stirling Council
    Stirling Council Response to Consultation: National Policy Framework 4 – Call for Ideas Part 1: Ideas for what Scotland will be like in 2050 and the changes we need to get us there. 1. What development will we need to address Climate Change? What will we need to do to reach the target of net zero emissions by 2050 We will need to: Use energy more efficiently by improving the thermal performance of buildings and specify building insulation measures that have a low-carbon impact and/or that naturally sequester carbon. Retain and re-use existing and historic buildings in order to preserve the embodied energy within existing structures through restoration, upgrading and adaptation. Utilise vacant and derelict land and make best use of existing infrastructure. Create robust, resilient and diverse zero/low carbon energy generation and distribution networks that harness energy from the sun (solar farms/installations), land (ground source heating), water (water source heat and hydro), air (air source heat), wind (onshore and offshore wind turbines/farms), and waste (anaerobic digestion). Continue to invest in afforestation/reforestation and peatland restoration projects to sequester carbon. Invest in green transportation and associated infrastructure. Put carbon impacts at the heart of decision making; improving our carbon literacy is key to this. In the context of planning, with regulatory support from the Scottish Government, all new development could be required to be carbon neutral/carbon negative. How places can be made more resilient to the long term impacts of climate change? Climate change resilient places need to be well-adapted in order to be able to withstand warmer and wetter weather.
