August 22 Briefs Excerpts:

ARC Building: Power Outage All Day Saturday, Aug. 25
The Applied Research Center will undergo a power outage, 7 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25 for testing of the emergency generator. Due to safety requirements, no one can be in the building during the test, and the emergency generator will not be available in case there is an actual power outage. Hood ventilation systems won't be available, so all chemicals and gases should be secured by COB Friday, Aug. 24. If you have office/work space in the ARC, it is advisable to power down and unplug your computers and other electronics before leaving. The computers in L119 will be shut down for the power outage. Refrigerators should be left on and left plugged in. For more details, visit the JLab Facilities Management Utilities Outages webpage.

The time-lapsed videos were taken using a camera mounted near the ceiling in Hall C. You can view the videos via the link, or by clicking the YouTube icon located at the bottom of JLab's homepage and then looking in the Playlist "Experimental Hall C Uninstall."
