Smart Lotto is making good on last year's commitment to create 20 positions over the course of three years. Having created and filled six positions during 2015, the Belmullet-based company has now announced it will create a further ten positions in 2016, thanks to continued support of Údarás na Gaeltachta.
Following the launch of Smart Lotto in early 2015, the company has successfully promoted its state-of-the-art Online Lotto Software to over 2,500 clubs and charities across the county. It is now working with some of the most high-profile clubs and county boards in the country, the most notable being the Mayo GAA players' fund.
Responding to customers' needs has been key to Smart Lotto's success. "Like with any new product or service, we had to continue to develop our service to meet the precise needs of our customers," explained managing director Noel Rowland.
"Over the course of last year, through engagement with clubs and charities up and down the county, we listened to the what clubs and charities were asking for and responded by tailoring a complete suite of marketing and promotional support packages to our software, which has proven to be very successful to date."
Commenting on the company's confirmation of ten more jobs in Belmullet, Minister of State for Tourism and Sport Michael Ring said he was 'delighted'.
"People talk about success and its meaning, and Smart Lotto has proven to be a tremendous success," he said. "I would like to compliment everyone involved on all their hard work."
Cllr Gerry Coyle also congratulated Smart Lotto for bringing enterprise and employment to the area, and he thanked Uduara na Ghaeltachta, and the Government for its support and belief in the project.
Údarás Na Gaeltachta CEO Steve Ó Cúláin said it is wonderful to see local people being employed in 'this great venture', adding that he is proud that his organisation could help to encourage such growth.

Top Ten Best Black Veil Brides Songs
This was written after the death of Andy's grandfather. He said; "I was very close to him. Every day after school, I would go to his house and talk. During the funeral people were talking about how my grandfather would go into Heaven, and how wonderful a person he was. I started to think about what heaven is." Andy is Atheist. "I hope I'm wrong, and I hope he is in the clouds, but on a personal level, I was thinking of the importance this person had to all these people at the church. If nothing else, Heaven is a legacy that you leave with the people around you. If there was a place that is Heaven, that's wonderful. But people telling the story of your life after you've lived it, those are the people who create that afterlife you have and continue this legacy. This song is about, when you die, who is left to remember the moments you had, and what have you done that would make you someone of substance? Have you done what you wanted to do with your life? "
I think of his words ...more
In The End was the first song I heard from Black Veil Brides and since then I have become a pretty big fan. The music video is compelling, the lyrics are filled with emotion, the guitars, bass and drums are all on point... and the message is truly motivating. The song is questioning, after you die, who will remember your moments, your achievements, your actions, your presence? The imprint you make on this world is important. In The End ignites a flame in your heart to leave behind an everlasting legacy. I think that is the most beautiful aspect of this song and the reason why it's my favorite BVB song.
I just love this song and I just love the part where it goes if I fall I will rise up again and relive my glory because I think that Andy wrote that part about when he broke his ribs
When Justin bibber broke his toe he stopped the show
When Andy biersack broke his ribs he finished the concert
Also to people who like Justin bibber and 1d
You say pink,
WE SAY BLACK!
You say 1d,
WE SAY BVB!
You say emo goth and scene,
WE SAY FALLEN ANGEL!
You say bibber,
WE SAY BIERSACK!
Oh,you have a fan group,
WE HAVE AN ARMY!
Al$O Andy biersack is a ten ten hotty with long or short hair I just like him better with long hair but he does still look hot with short hair - A.C.F,7
From death of evolution
My parents think I'm crazy now because of this song, it was the first song I had ever heard from black veil brides so now whenever I hear it, I end up acting like a complete fan girl because it just makes me so happy. It makes you feel as though you can get up and do anything. It makes you feel invincible, and puts you in a place or state of mind where you can just be yourself.
Knives and Pens
This was the first Black Veil Brides song I ever heard and the song which saved my life on three occasions. It means more to me than any other song. Not many people know this. It has so much meaning; it's the lead vocalist singing about how he was bullied in high school so badly that he had to move schools & house several times, his family recieved death threats, his house was graffiti-ed on, etc. And it really moved me and many others. Bought me into the Black Veil Brides 'fandom' and I will never regret it.
It's about people being judged, and even though they are misunderstood, they'll stick together to stand up for what they believe in. The video is basically Andy explaining how he can relate to his fans and how he knows what they are going through because of his non-traditional appearance. His main message is "Never Give In," which is pretty encouraging.
I have been a fan since 2009 and knives and pens has always been one of my favourites followed by perfect weapon and fallen angels. The song itself is so catchy and sends shivers down my spin every time I listen to it. The guitar is amazing and even though the song is quite old compared to newer songs out, I personally think that this song has got metal,rock and pop all mixed in to one if you know what I mean.
Yes, thank you, it has such a story and a great message, so much talent was put into these lyrics, and guitar playing, singing, etc. The video is also very meaningful too. But my favorite thing about it is the lyrics, I just love it. I could explain it, but it would take too long.
Dude black veil brides are the best band ever. Fallen angels has 2 be there best song I have been listening 2 black veil brides from the start and I absoultley think this song is just the most amazing song ever. We scream er shout we are the fallen angels. Hard song 2 get out of your head LOVE IT.
This song changed my life and probably also saved it. Black Veil Brudes are the best band in the world and deserve a much bigger army than they already have; I am definitely a devoted member. Thank you so much Andy, I love you with all of my heart, more than anything.
I think it's the best because it talks about the diffirece and not just love it talks about everyone that's alone everyone that goes through stuff this song is have to be the best because this song was the first song that got mt to list to the black veil brides now I'm apart of the army BVB Army Forever set the world on fire!
THE BEST SONG EVER! I love the video, the music, the voice I LOVE BLACK VEIL BRIDES! And this song is the best of the best. It has so many different things to love in it... The song is simply called amazing. I LOVE THEM SO CRAZY MUCH!
The best and probably heaviest Black Veil Brides song, the guitar solos, vocals, bass, its all really good quality music. Love the intro with Andy Biersack screaming, even the music video is top notch. AMAZING. Should be number 1.
This song is amazing! I really dig it, the screaming vocals, and meaning behind the lyrics, along with the guitar riffs are like magic when put together!
Really cool song, especially the intro part - the first long scream, and the chorus of this song is just amazing.
Never liked screamo until I heard Black Veil Brides. I love the scream at the beginning. It's pure, exciting rock. I'd love to be able to do that.
This has like 4-5 different rhythms and it is literally so cool that they tied all of them into one song. It's very... Catchy to say the least. I get it stuck in my head often and listening to it again doesn't help. It's a very relatable song to even those who don't listen to BVB on a constant basis. Superb song - and that's to say the least.
This is the best song they ever had.. Why?.. Because I reallyx2 love this song. When I see this music video I love they style because they use full black clothes and they draw they face likejoker... come on guys vote this band... and that's all from me...
Loved it! Awesome guitar too. Totally deserves it's place in top 10 songs. But I don't like the cover though or their long hair which makes them look like girls should really change it
I love this song because it is so easy to relate to. When parents don't want to accept the one you have become fond of, you just do what you want. :) My favorite next to Knives and Pens.
Sweet Blasphemy
I love how they say, "Through sadness you have taught us to be one with the crowd/Unveil the sacred order, hymns of falling down/You told the greatest stories, of love and bleeding crowns/But to the sick and hungry, you cannot be found." It's like they're thanking their fans for opening their eyes, and teaching them new things about life.
Sweet Blasphemy's meaning is hard to tell but it is strong and there... Most people don't realize the song is about fighting against what people want you to be and standing up for yourself and what you wish to believe in... The song is purely amazing
This song has the most catchy and advanced guitar part on We Stitch These Wounds. It's very mature compared to the other songs on the first album.
This song should be Number 1... The starting really kills and that builds up to a perfect song.
I love every songs by Black Veil Brides that I've ever heard. I definitely have a lot of favorites. But what I absolutely love about this song, is that amazing bass solo by Ashley in the very beginning. So few songs do bass solos and this one was AWESOME. I don't know if this is my favorite, But it definitely deserves top 5. BLACK VEIL BRIDES ARMY FOR LIFE BABY.
"The legacy born from a dream
Hold other wings rose from the streets
It will be our destiny"
These were simply the lines of a perfect goth metal bands.
People did not get this song as it is lying in#6.Otherwise it is the best song from them.
It's a very meaningful song. I love this song as it's about how they were nothing at one time and now... Now look at them, they're a lot more popular and have a huge fanbase. I'm proud to say I'm apart of it - most of the time.
Best song ever chorus is amazing I haven't heard a better song than The Legacy and the guitars are like the best ever this song kills best ever I cannot understand how this is not first make it first!
Lost It All
It's so beautiful. It's Black Veil Brides' way of saying that it's okay to be sad sometimes and it's okay that we fall down. This song was so beautiful, so calm and sad in the beginning and gradually building up in the middle and finally ending off with "I believe that we all fall down. " I am very surprised that this isn't at the top!
I cannot even begn to explain how amazing this song is! It gave me the feeling of everything is going to be okay, it's okay to be sad, and I just- that message just gave me love and hope and I love the song so much, not to mention the beautiful piano and the video itself and the violin and just everything about it was perfect
The most uplifting song ever..
You simply cannot get any better, I've listened to this song many times and get goose bumps every time I hear it. Honestly, the last minute is what can save lives... "I believe that we all fall down sometimes... (killer solo)... " a must listen
This song is so beautiful. I love the calm atmosphere but then it picks up speed and gets a little more catchy. The lyrics mean a lot to some people and makes them believe in themselves. Absolutely amazing and should be higher on this list.
Coffen reminded me of death and what really happens.it is an amazing song it started my emo-Ness and saved my life. I have a hard life and now I can just drown it out.you should listen to it and watch the music video
Musically, this is probably Black Veil Brides' best song. Everything about it is good. Andy's singing and screaming improved and the guitar work is excellent, the backup vocals are amazing, the bass playing is a lot better than their other songs. And of course, CC's drumming is the best.
I'm glad to know that hope in humanity is not all lost. This song is one of their best, and I am proud of my fellow army members for keeping it in the top 10. I personally think it belongs in the top 5, but that's just my opinion. Keep voting it up, amazing peoples
This one, all the way. There is something about the way the entire band plays it. Jinxx's soft piano intro, CC's crashing drums, Jake's roaring guitar solo, Ashley's perfect bass and back up vocals, and Andy's angry, desperate voice. It's simply perfect. Best BVB song yet!
Without this song and this band I wouldn't be alive today. It sounds pathetic, but this band really has and continues to save me and keep me going. Thank you to black veil brides for always being there for me when no one was and helping me express how I feel through your music. Helping me admit to and solve the problems that I wouldn't even admit to myself. Everything that they do and say inspires me and I love them so much.
Thank you to Andy for being my Savior...
"Savior" is inspiring just like a lot of their songs(I.E. knives and Pens, Never Give In, Lost It All.. Etc.), but I believe it should be higher in ranking because it shows more on how the BVB Army and fans in general, even people who aren't necessarily fans, that they aren't alone and BVB might not be able to help ALL their fans because they're busy.. But I know that they try to help out as much as they can because they truly care.
Savior should be in the top 5 because without this song and this band my life would be pointless. There are other good songs that ROCK like Knives and Pens, Fallen Angels, Perfect Weapon, and In the End, but I personally think that this song should be in the TOP 5!
This song is so.. words can't even begin to describe how much I love this song. It moves me to tears every time I listen to it, especially the "So hear my voice remind you not to bleed." line. It really tells a straightforward and motivating message.
The Mortician's Daughter
I think it is awesome! Just like all there songs but this one come on it is just so touching! Love Black Veil Brides so MUCH! And my favorite lyrics from this song are "I love you more than I can ever scream" and "I sit there and smile dear, I smile because I think of you and I blush"!
This the most amazing song ever. I heard Knives and Pens then checked this out, and fell in love! I love Andy so much! He's adorable and this song just makes him even more attractive, it really hit home with me, I love it
This song is different compared to their usual work, but I love it. It is so touching and sweet. You feel happy and relaxed when you hear it, you feel peaceful. It is just amazing, at least in the top 5 in my opinion.
I love this song! It's so different to most of their other stuff and you can feel the emotion when you listen. All I hear when I mention them is "that screamo band? " this just disproves it!
We Stitch These Wounds
I'm new to this band - I've only been listening to them for about 4 months - ish now but the first song I listened to was this and I just fell in love. The meaning these guys put behind their songs are amazing and honestly - when I feel down or alone I think of these guys and there is always a song that helps me in the situation. Definitely a song worth listening to. Jas/z
This song is way more epic than Knives and Pens. I know Knives and Pens has an awesome music video, but this song is just better. It has great screamo, and the beginning draws you in. This song makes you listen to Black Veil Brides.
I absolutely love Knives and Pens, but this tops it in my opinion. The intro is dramatic and epic! Great lyrics. And awesome guitar riffs and screams. This song literally just flows together and it pulls you in. I mean, come on, at least second!
This song deserves top ten, much better than Knives and Pens and Perfect weapon, this song has the most amazing lyrics, amazing vocals and amazing instrumental parts! What a rock star song
This song. It's amazing, purely amazing. The first time I listened to it I couldn't stop. Unfortunately, it's very underrated in my opinion, like a lot of other songs in the STWOF album. It deserves heaps more recognition. I'd easily recommend this song to any fan of Black Veil Brides.
Amazing song! The lyrics are so meaningful, the chorus is fantastic and I often find this song stuck in my head. I have nothing much more to say, although I'm extremely shocked this is ranked at 25!
So underrated, this song has some of the best and most gripping choruses of any song, and is truly incredible. This is a brilliant song and deserves a much better position than this.
Andy's voice and the guitar chord structure in this are beautiful. This should be in the top ten instead of some of the others. I really like it a lot.
Honestly, it's so difficult to pick a favorite, but this song, to me, just stands out. Whenever it comes on, I can never skip it, and I feel like each time I hear it, I'm listening to it for the first time again. It's a song that's beautifully crafted, with a melodic intro that shifts right into a steady first verse. Then, picks up the pace again before going into one of the best chorus--ASLDKFJSALDFKJASDLKFJ KEYBOARD SMASH THIS SONG IS SO GOOD I LOVE IT SO MUCH OK JUST MY THOUGHTS RAMBLING SORRY
This song is incredible! The album is probably my favorite and the End And New Years Day are on that album! Put it higher up.
Best song! The entire album was so great that it made me cry, but especially this song is just amazing.
This is probably one of the best Black Veil Brides songs out there. The guitar is great!
It's an amazing song and the video shows how much they have changed in four years. It's an epic masterpiece and I honestly can't believe it's not higher on this list.
Yes, just yes! This is so amazing! The song is the best, like there is no words to describe how much I love it! How is it only 19th place?
This is a more catchy song than the others. And I LOVE the music video cause Andy gives the middle finger! Hurray!
This song is way better than all of the other weak slow trash that they made, this should be number 1.
Let You Down
Love this song so much... It's quite hard to describe exactly why but I feel like I can relate to this song so much. Andy's voice is really believable when he sings "I swear these words are true... I BELIEVE IN YOU! I'll never let you down, I promise right here, right now... " It makes me feel so much better even though I don't him know personally, but it's like him and the rest of the guys are always there for me and have a song for every situation I'm in. This song in particular though, is my favourite from their new album and I can't thank them enough for doing what they do best - make music. Definitely worth listening to. Jas/z
BVB played this song at the warped tour and I instantly fell in love with it! It's just simply amazing and Andy's voice sounds really great, as always, in it.
One of their newest songs at the moment but by far one of their best!
This should be number one it is my favorite song by them
This song has such a deep meaning about letting go of the "agony" and misery of the past. Let go of that that keeps you down and look to the future for a new beginning. And I love this message. Andy portrays this very well in the music video and in the lyrics of the song. Why this song isn't higher is beyond me...
This song should honestly be higher the list just for the shear meaning of the song. This song represents how Andy is letting go of what he used to be his sadness, his anger, his despair. Like he's starting with a new beginning. An amazing song. My number 1 song.
Killer I pushed this song from 44 to 43. But it needs to be higher. This is an amazing song it shows Andy's soft side so well and I think this is the best song on the album. If you haven't heard it, listen to it now its amazing
It's such a soft and powerful song. I interpreted the song telling you to let go of what keeps you down so that you can rise higher. It's an amazing song and the video shows how much they have changed in four years. Kudos to you BVB!
I Am Bulletproof
This is one of my favourite songs by Black Veil Brides. It shows how far the have come and how they have grown as a band, these songs from this album really stand out from their previous work. I am bulletproof shows how far Andy has come as a singer and this should at least be number 10!
This song captures the story of the album in a few minutes, and the chorus is one like nothing BVB have ever done. For this reason, the song is the best from their new album in my opinion.
This song is an ANTHEM. I swear the solo and the vocals kick ass. Plus you get Andy's screaming to accent the whole thing. It's one of my favorites at the moment.
What this is suppose to be at number 1... What is it doing @ no.14... This song has the best intro! Ever and the best solo... And the drumming is awesome!
This song is amazing! It is a very good, inspiring, song, Andy is an amazing singer, CC is an amazing drummer, Ashley is an amazing guitarist, Jinxx is an amazing violinist, and Jake is amazing! This band is inspiring! They have taught me to never give in and I love them for that!
The best by far, this reaches out to all the lonely, the wretched and forgotten. And that is wonderful. This song gives a lot of depressed people new hope that they are important and that they have a choice
This. Song. Is. The. Best! HOW is it only 14th?! For crying out loud, this awesome tune was on Transformers 3: Dark of The Moon. This song pumps me right up! Top 5 AT LEAST
An inspiring Song that always gives confidence to a Human in Life. Just an amazing.. And perfect song
15th place?!?! The spine-chilling intro, the calmness and veiled intensity of this song, the hope and strength it has in its lyrics... I seriously thought this would be at least in the top 5 if not first... The guitar solo by Jake is amazing as always... That guy is an awesome and very talented guitarist!
I don't know much about this band, but so far this is the best song I've heard by them. It's absolutely beautiful. The guitar, Andy's vocals, the lyrics...It's a gorgeous song. Should be higher in this list in my opinion.
This song should be on the top ten! This should be #1! Come on people! This song is so meaningful and Jake Pitts rocks his guitar solos! Oh and let's not forget about andy! His voice is so beautiful and his lyrics are so inspiring! Go BVB!
This should be on the top along with savior, rebel love song and knives and pens. The verse 'We are not alone' really got to me. It's simple and straight-forward. It's melodic, and is one of the best songs out there! Go BVB!
This is one of my favourite songs - a lot of people haven't heard of it as you had to pre order 'set the world on fire' to get it.
Love the lyrics
Love the band
You need to listen to this song
Helped me through some extremely tough times. Especially "stronger in new ways, don't care what they say, this is your life, its time to rejoice". I have anxiety disorder and get down a lot because of other people (can't help it), and whenever I hear this part of the song, I just loose all my down... Ness, and get so much new self confidence. Sorry if that was a little preachy, but this song means a lot to me.
This is the best song ever. Not only does it have a good beat but it has a good meaning behind it. "Rise up and celebrate your life, sing for what you feel inside. " The words have quality and they really speak to the heart. Just pure amazingness! I think this should have gotten more votes, It's my number one favorite song of all time, definitely it deserves to be number one!
Whenever I feel sad or depressed this song always manages to help me feel a lot better and forget about things for a while. This song is amazing not only because of the beat but also because the lyrics behind this song are so meaningful! <3 I love this song and Black Veil Brides!
Whenever I'm in a bad mood, this song just makes me feel so much better. The lyrics are inspiring, the more upbeat, yet still awesome melody is just perfection. It changed my outlook on life for the better.
Absolutely amazing song, what introduced me to Black Veil Brides and that's why I love them so much!
Should be a lot higher on the list. The countdown is fantastic and the guitar solo is remarkable...
This song captures the energy of a battle in a song, and then the breakdown is a violin solo, which I find awesome because I can't imagine any other band like BVB ever doing this.
I love this song... The teaser for the Wretched and Divine album should have been "Rise from the Ashes -- 2013" oh gosh
Winning. Best song I've ever heard. Well, next to some Green Day, Motley Crue, and Avenged Sevenfold.
Children Surrender
Love this song! Can't stop listening to it! If you love it when Andy screams then this is a good song for you. :) BEST BVB SONG! BVB ARMY FOREVER!
The Gunsling
This song is amazing and underrepresented, this song deserves more cred than it's given. The Gunsling came out before We Stitch These Wounds and Set The World On Fire, both of Which are amazing albums, but without The Gunsling we wouldn't have the songs we do. This song should be at least top 5.
Best song ever heard in my life. This song deserves to be in top 5. But its okay to be at 10th.
I don't know many people who know this song but it was just so fast paced. I love it.
Its amazing how they can turn simple lyrics into a great master piece

The Wakefield show has been and gone, so companies and developers have presumably finished recovering from the event although in the days leading up to the show, they burnt off all their their product announcements and news. Oh, the calamity. We did notice that RISCOS Ltd. and MW Software timed the releases of their software well, the news of Select 3 and Artworks 2 interrupting the calm following the show without the fear of being swamped by other news.
However when things go quiet, we know people are cooking further developments and so we contacted the developers who exhibited at Wakefield, eager for details of what they've got planned for the summer months and also what they thought of the show.
R-Comp are tending to their software, expanding and evolving chat app Grapevine with various new enhancements, also spending some quality time with DataPower, UniPrint Deluxe and DialUp. R-Comp's spokesperson explained that while the show was good, they felt that a two day show is needed. "It's important to remember that shows tend to be the lifeblood of RISC OS companies", R-Comp added.
Two releases we should expect to see soon enough are Aemulor 2.2 and Aemulor Pro. Aemulor.com's Neil Spellings stated that Aemulor 2.2 should get and end of May release and includes fixes to the StrongARM emulation engine and will hopefully enable more 26 bit only applications to run on Iyonix computers. Aemulor Pro doesn't have a release date penned in but will provide 2-16 colour screen modes and support for 26 bit filing systems.
MW-Software are focussing on ArtWorks 2.1 development which is aiming for a July-August release. A bug fixed AW 2.02 has been sent out to users.
Quentin Pain of Accountz.com described the show as "excellent" with many upgrades to Prophet3+ Pro sold. "We are working on a new version of Prophet written in Java", Quentin commented. "All we need is for someone to produce a new JVM for Java 1.3 for RISC OS and it will be networkable across all major platforms." Sure, Java 1.3 for RISC OS. It's so easy peasy, we don't know why we hadn't thought of it yet.
Describing the show as "upbeat", RISCOS Ltd. reminded us that they've released RISC OS Select 3 (issue 1), adding their plans for Select 4.
Acorn Publisher, having published its largest issue to date, told us they are keen to attract all RISC OS users to their reader base and are launching new series on graphics, web design and desktop publishing. You can ask for a free example copy, if you've not yet seen AcornPublisher.
Finally, a member of the NetBSD team has let us know that Castle have lent them an Iyonix to port NetBSD to. Lucky for some.
As R-Comp's spokesperson said, "It's important to remember that shows tend to be the lifeblood of RISC OS companies" and it's a strong reminder that RISC OS shows are prime opportunities for punters and companies to meet face to face and see new RISC OS kit. We encourage users to attend shows but the main crowd pullers, without a doubt, are the big new releases.
"The Wakefield Show was well advertised and well organised - what else would you expect from the Wakefield group?" Acorn Publisher editor John Cartmell asked us. "It resulted in the public turning up in good numbers and spending money. We need the same for every Show throughout the year. It can be done - and if it is there will be new products for release at every Show."
In that case, place your bets now for what'll appear between June and October.
We look forward to hearing from the rest of the exhibitors although we think we're done with Wakefield now. All the exhibitors who got back in touch with us said they were happy with the show and the user turnout, which will hopefully provide sufficient incentive for the WROCC to organise Wakefield 2004. The WROCC haven't replied to our inquiries so as to how many people turned up and what's the plan for next year, your guess is as good as ours.
JAVA prophet would be nice but the JAVA 1.3 engine is a must. There are so many apps that would revolutionise the useability of RISC OS that a great dealo of effort should go into it. NIH image is one that would get this person buying an Iyponix.
I suspect Java/Swing would be very slow on a RISC OS machine.
Even on quite powerful PC's Swing can be noticeably slow. In my opinion there is nothing more off putting that using an app that is not very responsive.
does anyone think castle would let me have an iyonix so i can make pointless games that go really fast?
It's no more written in uppercase than "Ada" is.
FORTRAN as well. Grrrr -- Spriteman.
But BASIC /is/ an acronym, isn't it? Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.
Yes, but Basic has been around so long and is so widley used that it's turned into a word in its own right. Both are correct, for most practical purposes.
NIJINSKY: you are absolutely right. WALKS: Java/Swing slow? MR CHOCKY: you are by far the most experienced, would a JIT JVM for RISCOS be unusable (speedwise) on, say, an Iyonix?
Java JITed or otherwise would be fine on a SA RPC. It's when you add Swing that things get hairy as there's lots of computation graphics wise. It's impossible to guess the outcome. In any case, it's a bit academic without either.
It depends on so many other things as well, like your definition of usable, and as with a lot of things the amount of memory available makes a huge difference.
As an example, the biggest Swing app I regularly use is NetBeans (very nice editor BTW) and I would say it is very usable on my 733MHz 256MB laptop, but almost unusable on my 700MHz 128MB desktop unless it's the only thing running because it swaps constantly (both Windows machines).
who gives a toss over speed if we can get to a more recent version?
C++ CLASS LIBRARY FOR RISC OS!
1) What has Macromedia got to do with Java? 2) Would you care to explain this: "the silly licensing b*ll*x with macromedia plugins"
The main reason I regularly use IE at home is because of JAVA.
What has Macromedia got to do with Java: They have a cross platform virtual machine system that's often used for doing internet apps (Director/Shockwave (not Shockwave Flash)). But more importantly for RISC OS it's used a lot to make educational programs.
Problem is (apart from cash, 6 figures/year iirc) that the Xtras (3rd party addons) are system specific, so you'd need to get any of those you wanted to use written for RISC OS anyway.
sa110, maybe Chocky will let us know on this one, it's a shame if it never appears, there was some screenshots of it IIRC, so it must have got reasonably far.
So what would you say VB was then?
I'd say VB was just plain evil, and quite broken.

Q: How to delete or remove the tooltip from javascript? I am creating an icon in javascript with tooltip.
var icon = '  ';

this icon is displayed and removed dynamically. When I am removing this icon dynamically from javascript by using below code:
success: function(){
//other code//
saveparents.parent().parent().find('a.icon-ok').remove();
//other code//
}

icon is getting removed but tooltip "Save" is still displayed on UI. When I refresh the page, it disappears. But I want it to remove as soon as icon-ok gets removed.
Also I debugged in firebug and found that a div class for tooltip is being created in html page

...

Save

From firebug I can remove this div by right clicking on deletenode. It successfully removes from UI as well. So I think if I do this using javascript code, it should be removed.
But I don't know what code to put in success function to delete that div class tooltip fade top in. I need help here.

A: You should probably have to remove tha actual tooltip as well:
$('body>.tooltip').remove();
Or even better, use your tooltip's native remove function.

A: The title attribute becomes the tool-tip text in some browsers. Remove that (either directly, or using Javascript) and it should go away.
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H33.html

Some graphical user agents will display a tool tip when the mouse
  hovers above an anchor element containing a title attribute.

A: I guess it's worth to try:
success: function(){
 //other code//
   ('a.icon-ok').removeAttr("title");
 //other code//
}

EDIT:
I read again your question:

But I don't know what code to put in success function to delete that div class tooltip fade top in. I need help here.

try this way:
success: function(){
 //other code//
   ('div').removeClass("tooltip fade top in"); //<-- costumize your selector
 //other code//
}

good luck !!

A: I've tried all these answer, but what worked for me is this,
$("#id").tooltip( "destroy" );

Or you can also use
$("#id").tooltip( "close" );

But, I prefer the first one.

A: Thanks all for your valuable inputs!!
I added this line in success() function and it worked

$("[class='tooltip fade top in']").remove();

Review: A London Cab experience - in Cairo
Read a detailed rating of a London Cab experience in Cairo, Egypt (19670) after using their service for an airport pick-up
Sunday 18 Sep 2011
London Cabs, Photo: Reuters
So, everyone has seen the ad for London cabs on the 6th of October Bridge as you're getting into downtown. And everyone wonders about it, right? Of course, a small luxury, like taking a TX4 Black London cab in Cairo, is going to be costly; so don't be surprised and just enjoy.
In a very short sum: they are very punctual, somewhat organised, the car is unique, but the interior is a huge disappointment.
My natural expectation - considering I'm paying so much for a "British" experience - was that they must meet me on time. Checkmark!
I wanted to surprise my friend at the airport with a va-va-voom welcome. I arranged for the London cab to meet me directly at the airport and the driver was there 10 minutes ahead of schedule. His punctuality and upbeat attitude, even when he realised twice he had to go around the block because he missed the turns, earns him an almost perfect 9. Without having to do much consultation he seemed to know where we wanted to go, although the exact street escaped him.
And no, the driver does not sit on the right, like in England; the driver's seat is on the left.
My basic organisational expectations were met: their hotline has a professional-sounding system and their customer service speaks basic English, but don't ask them anything complicated because they seem to have a difficult time understanding much more than where to pick you up, at what time and where to drop you off.
The administration could have been slightly better: they didn't give me the driver's phone number until 15 minutes before arrival time, but in all fairness, when I contacted someone at the office they responded immediately with an SMS with the driver's name and mobile number. London cab admin get a 7.5 there.
My wildest hope was that the interior would be even swankier than the exterior. The first impression when you see it is "wow." It's just so unique. From far away, each step you take is in happy anticipation to check out the interior. You feel like you're going to step into something luxurious and fun.
Maybe it even has mini-bar with a complimentary brandy, you dream.
Keep dreaming.
The grey interior leaves much to be desired. Both the seats and the entire interior are bland and uninspiring. You step into a big, grey vacuum. Two seats are at the back of the car, of a material that you would expect to find in the lowest-grade Chinese car. Their placement, far away from the chauffeur, makes it hard to communicate with him through the window that separates us. We did find a speakerphone button, which the driver failed to tell us existed.
Other fun buttons include a control for the air conditioning and speakers. This suggestion may be a tiny bit cheesy, but it would add to the experience to hear something more "English" (why not the Beatles?), instead of the usual Arabic pop music.
Although the seats are reasonably comfortable, they are not at all "cooshy." Two more people fit in the car (a total of four), but the extra two have to sit on push-down seats, like at the cinema - only infinitely less comfortable. Firstly, the other two guests ride backwards; meaning they don't face traffic. Secondly, the backs of the chairs are hard plastic. Although it might be more cost effective to fit as many people in the car, the fact is that two people will sit rather comfortably and the other two will be highly uncomfortable. And watch those bumps. The shock absorbers were very bad, forcing the chauffeur to drive consciously slow to avoid the jostle.
Again, though, the exterior was swank, no doubt, because often people on the street or in other cars would stare (more than usual). Twice it happened that for a split second I wondered what was wrong: why was everyone staring so hard inside our car? One second later I would suddenly remember that although the interior was dull and ordinary, the car's exterior was definitely eye-catching.
Unfortunately, for a regular passenger, the score for the interior is a regular 4. The company simply completely failed in details where they could have excelled and really impressed the customer. Maybe they were trying to stay as true to a simple cab experience in London, but they don't even match that experience. They could have gone all-out, then, if they weren't going to match the true London cab experience 100 per cent.
A qualification to their harsh score of 4, though, is if I was a different client I would give them a big fat 8 for their interior. Why?
The big space between the backseat and the driver doesn't simply make way for the two badly-planned extra chairs.
The car is wheelchair-friendly, equipped with a ramp and the space fits a passenger in their wheelchair. You simply lower the ramp, the client scoots in and doesn't need to be carried out from their chair or anything of the sort. With the complete lack of wheelchair-accessible transport in Cairo, the London cab is one of the few options and it was a really dignified touch to make this a central part of the design of the cab in general. So, if I was in a wheelchair, I would definitely appreciate a London cab coming to pick me up.
To give an idea of the cost: The hotline tells you in advance how much the ride will cost and mine was a whopping 180 LE. But at least it's all known up-front; there's even a polite sign behind the driver's seat that reads that the chauffeurs do NOT accept tips, so no one surprises you with hidden costs.
When I tried to pin down the customer service operator to tell me a general fare so I could calculate it in my own head in advance, she put up a fight. I asked her point-blank: "You mean to tell me you have no calculation that a client can make to even consider using your service before calling you? A client has to call every single time?" According to my memory she replied: "Korrect, mein frauhlein," and gave an evil laugh.
A London Cab fare guesstimate = white cab ride x 3.
Every hour they wait around for you, stationary is an extra LE30.
A quick look at their Facebook page's newly uploaded pictures reveals a listing of their fares, however; making the customer service phone war for a calculator unnecessary.
Is it worth it? When I asked my guest what he thought of the experience after I verbally bashed the disappointing interior, he raised his eyebrows and his eyes looked off to the sky and to the side. It was obvious that he was replaying his steps in his mind as he got out of the airport and I led him to the black, shiny early 20th-century car that awaited him as if he were a movie star. His impression? "It was a really nice surprise: a very nice touch," he said with a nod and sweet appreciation.
To make a reservation, call 19670
Note: I've read about people calling the service and being interrogated about their nationality because, reportedly, London Cabs only take Egyptians to and from the airport only and otherwise refuse to drive Egyptians around town, supposedly because the tourism ministry prohibited it. Personally, I went directly to the English language option, they didn't ask me about my citizenship and, in any case, I met the qualification by doing a pick-up at the airport.

Premature Evaluation: Layers of Fear
Gone Mad
Marsh Davies
7th September 2015 / 10:00PM
Each week Marsh Davies lets fly at the blank canvas of Early Access and either returns with a masterpiece or ends up rocking back and forth in a corner eating Unity Asset Store crayons. This week he's played Layers of Fear, a linear boo-scare walk-em-up set in the reassembling spooOOooky house of a maaAAaad painter.
I'm not sure a household needs more than one reproduction of The Abduction of Ganymede. It's a fine work, sure, but I don't want to be staring at a pissing toddler's dangling bum while I'm having dinner, let alone every time I turn a corner in my home. But then, I'm not really sure of a lot of the other decorative choices that my character appears to have made here – the cupboard of black phlegm, the infinite library, the hell mirror, the Erik Satie levitation cellar, the room of bad chairs. Not even Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen would go so far as to daub "ABANDON HOPE WHILE YOU STILL CAN" above a doorway. It doesn't even make sense, Laurence!
What initially promises to be a freeform exploration of the protagonist's quaintly demented home turns into a linear ghost train pretty quickly, reassembling the house to provide a nightmare sequence of nicely furnished but spatially impossible rooms. Many contain things designed to assault you unexpectedly – or, failing that, at least loudly and suddenly. Turn around and the corridor behind you will have changed into an entirely different one, sometimes slathered with horrible black ichor, sometimes with a creepy doll in it, doing that wibbly-wobbly-head thing that creepy dolls and paranormal entities have done since Jacob's Ladder came out. Console gamers will also remember the yucky lady from PT, who turns up here to do pretty much exactly what she does in PT, beat for beat.
When it avoids cliche, however, the game's tricks and choices are quite effective. Paintings seem to melt and smear as you look at them, and then the entire room along with it. The environments are attentively constructed, seeded with the odd prop that you can pick up and admire in lustrous hi-poly detail – albeit to no particular end. And if it doesn't quite match the alarming photo-realism of PT, then it achieves enough fidelity to make the disruption of physical space unusually powerful. The various visual distortions and hallucinations you suffer are appropriately disorienting, but it's the game's reassembling geometry that steals the show, luring you into rooms which turn out to have no exit; turn around and the one you came through is gone.
It has to let you out eventually though, and this knowledge becomes something of a problem. I am easily startled and rarely scared by these sorts of games – and yet, not that far into the 90 minute running-time of the Early Access build, I was no longer being startled either. The rhythm of the game becomes too regular: go into room, wait for things to go bang or woo, leave room by the one available door (sometimes the one you came in, though it may now lead somewhere else). There's nothing wrong with this set-up until it becomes the only set-up you've got, and though Layers of Fear does occasionally break up the pace with a trivial puzzle, the reliable frequency of its shock moments prevents them from being exactly that. Yes, yes, giant bleeding baby face, I know you're going to be there when I turn round. And there goes another mirror. Time for the lights to go out.
The game isn't always good at directing your gaze to even witness these things: on more than a couple of occasions, a loud bang and dramatic sting of music signalled that I had missed the event entirely while examining a particularly nice chair asset, or rummaging around in drawers (all of which are operable with a pleasingly tactile analogue mouse-movement). Oops! Sorry, ghosts.
But in spite of this, when it's not knocking off PT, it comes up with a few horrors that are suitably spectacular to be worth the price of admission. Unfortunately, I can hardly say what they are without spoiling them – which is simultaneously a criticism of the game's other, more derivative efforts, which come pre-spoiled by all the films and games you've seen which had them in too. In general, I am confused by the horror genre's fondness for regurgitating cliche. I guess there's some associative fear-response to horror film imagery you've encountered before, and I guess, too, that a manky thing that's trying to kill you is fundamentally unsettling regardless of how many times that threat is presented.
But, even so, the most effective horror hinges on its unfamiliarity: Sadako and the xenomorph are terrifying precisely because they are unknown both in their capabilities and their intent. Too many films have since thought Sadako was scary because she has terrible posture and needs a shower – as though by nudging you in the ribs and saying, "Hey! Remember when you saw that other movie that was scary?" you will instantly buy into their superficial reproduction. It's to mistake mere imagery, mere reference for the richness of imagination required to concoct something truly unknown.
Needless to say, Layers of Fear is at its best when coming at horror from its relatively unusual perspective: that of the artist. Though rarely seen, the protagonist's own paintings are enjoyably ghastly, and the game punctuates your descent into lunacy with repeated modifications to a single canvas, slowly conjuring an image that lies almost exactly between Francis Bacon and Clive Barker. I can't really lay out any more of the plot without evaporating some of its intrigue, but I can say that the delivery of it leaves a bit to be desired – voiceover recollections are hammy and the writing is clumsy with modern colloquialisms, contradicting what appears to be an ambiguous period setting. (I wonder if younger players will understand how to work a dial-operated phone.) It's definitely from the Thematically On-The-Nose Blood Graffiti school of environmental storytelling.
Some visual bugs undermine a few of its hallucinatory reveals, and, being a game you're likely only going to enjoy once, I'm not sure I'd recommend playing it before the experience is fully polished. A note pinned to a door uses the phrase "if you care so lunch" – all the more peculiar an error given that it appears to be handwritten, rather than a typo. There are lots of other minor mistakes besides, but what I really want from the remaining time in early access is not precise spelling as much as a different pace. The game's less linear opening, and the objects you can pick up and inspect, suggest the possibility of a more sober structure, perhaps with more involved puzzling or a liberated sense of spatial exploration, which would amp up the contrast of the game's attempts at alarm. At the moment, the relentless pummelling you receive only goes to prove that, no matter the game's visual imagination, players can get used to anything – even something as truly horrifying as Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's interior design.
Layers of Fear is available from Steam for £6. I played the version with the Build ID 750039 on 31/08/2015.

Seven mobile phone technology companies, including Nokia and Samsung, are backing a new flash memory standard for memory cards and embedded in devices.
The new industry standard, called Universal Flash Storage (UFS), is an attempt to drive data transfer speeds and memory storage capacity up on memory cards and embedded memory, so users can keep more songs, photos and video data on mobile devices and enjoy them more, the companies, including Nokia Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.said in a joint news release.
UFS would greatly speed up the time it takes to access data on a mobile device. A 90-minute movie that takes about three minutes to access today would take only a few seconds using UFS, the companies said.
Currently, the UFS standard is under construction by the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association (formerly known as the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council), and companies involved in the project expect to have a standard finalized by 2009.
Micron Technology, Inc., Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB, Spansion Inc., STMicroelectronics NV and Texas Instruments Inc. also announced their support for the creation of the UFS standard.

… that seems to be the motto of Ahmed Omer, the Managing Director/CEO of Advanced Technical Solutions
CCME Content Team | Follow @ccmenews | Oct 31, 2011 | 5:25 pm
That seems to be the motto of Ahmed Omer, the Managing Director/CEO of Advanced Technical Solutions, who came up with a system for cooling outdoor stadia in Qatar, which met the approval of FIFA. Here, he describes how designing and developing innovative products have become a way of life.
I am an Egyptian and was born in March 1975. I graduated from Cairo University's Faculty of Engineering in 1999 with a degree in mechanical engineering. I, then, went on to do my master's degree in nuclear power engineering from Cairo University.
After graduation, I worked as Head of Section at a company in Egypt, called ProSurface. In 2000, I was appointed Commissioning Manager of the mega Biblioteca Alexandrina project in Alexandria. Biblioteca Alexandrina is a vast, ancient library dating back to nearly 400 BC. The Egyptian authorities had decided to restore this historical library. I was the commissioning manager for all the electro-mechanical work for the project. The designers of the project were the Snoheta/Hamza consortium, and the contractor was the French company, Balfour Beaty, in a joint venture with Arab Contractor.
I learnt a lot during the project, because it was an international effort – I came across a lot of systems, local and sophisticated, as well as innovative products. I met with a lot of equipment manufacturers. Overall, it was a very good experience for me.
During my time at university, I always ranked among the top five in the class. I used to like designs very much and was doing a lot of designs as a student. After university, I continued with my passion and designed a lot of equipment, just for the sake of coming up with designs and nothing more.
In 2003, after finishing the Biblioteca Alexandrina project, I worked as the commissioning manager for a group of projects in Cairo for some months. Then, I travelled to Qatar. I worked there in testing and commissioning of electro-mechanical works for two years – from 2005 to 2007. I did a lot of mega projects in Qatar, including Aspire Zone, a massive sports facility, a large medical city and a number of five star hotels.
NINETEEN DEGREES IN MID-PITCH
In 2007, I changed my whole business line to be an innovative solutions provider, because I swear by design, innovation and creation. At that time, I was asked by the Government of Qatar to submit a proposal to provide air conditioning for an outdoor stadium, the Al Sadd stadium. It was a competition among about 12 international consultants from the US, UK, Germany and other western nations. I submitted a proposal after spending three to four months deeply studying the aerodynamics of the stadium and how the wind would affect parts of the stadium. After that, I came up with an innovative idea of how to air condition the stadium while it is open to the sky. This was a real challenge for my design capabilities. I had executed a lot of designs before that, but this was very, very challenging – it involved problems that had never been solved before – and no one, anywhere in the world, had thought of such solutions. On top of that, it was with a very prestigious customer – the Government of Qatar.
It was a huge challenge to submit the proposals and prepare the designs in a manner for them to be successfully implemented and to achieve the desired results. I took up the challenge and, eventually, after a number of presentations to the Qatar state representatives and engineers, my proposal met with approval. Despite the stiff international competition, my proposal, at the end of the day, was the best one. I was given the contract to do the design work for the air conditioning system of Al Sadd Stadium.
I spent day and night on the assignment. I finished the design, which the Government authorities, then, tendered for construction. Owing to the sophisticated nature of the system, only three out of all the contractors that had bought the tender documents were able to submit a proposal to execute the job.
One contractor undertook the responsibility of doing the construction work, and I worked side by side with him, supervising his work. In the summer of 2009, the construction was completed. We switched on the system, and the results were extremely elating. I could scarcely believe that the system was working, and that, too, after just two years of construction. I say this, because everyone felt that such a system wouldn't work, but after commissioning and starting the system, the results were truly astounding: the temperature at the mid-line of the field (pitch) dropped to 19ºC, even when it was very hot and humid outside.
Without air conditioning in open stadia, the Qatar Government could not have bid for the 2022 World Cup, since the tournament is always played around June, which is peak summer in the country. On top of that, according to FIFA regulations, players must play in open, not closed, stadia.
In September 2010, the Qatar authorities invited members of the FIFA inspection committee to see for themselves the infrastructure in the country as well as the technology for air conditioning the stadia. In view of the FIFA visit, the Government asked me to prepare an audio-visual presentation to demonstrate and explain the technology, which I duly did. The committee attended one football match and saw for themselves how the temperature within the whole open-air stadium was being maintained between 19ºC and 21ºC; they were impressed. The global media reported how Qatar intended to keep the stadia cool during the summer World Cup, and the news spread far and wide.
YET MORE INNOVATIONS
In the midst of these developments, I opened a company in Germany in 2007 as an innovative solutions provider. I started to develop innovative products and sell them in the market. In 2008, I launched my first product – a set of valves, called FCU-Link, for air conditioning. It was the first product of its kind to be launched worldwide; since then, thousands of pieces have been sold. People liked the product a lot, especially electro-mechanical contractors, because it saved them a lot of time and money. The product consists of a set of valves that connect the fan coil unit to the chilled water network. It comes as one complete set – factory assembled and factory pressure-tested.
With conventional valves, you have to buy 10-15 pieces from different suppliers – controls from one supplier, valves from another, flexible connections from a third and so on. You, then, start to connect the 10-15 pieces on site. Normally, in the span of a day, a set of labourers can install only 1 or 1.5 units. On the other hand, my valve comes as a single unit and can be installed by hand. As I said, it is factory assembled and factory pressure-tested and can be installed in five minutes.
After developing the FCU-Link, the company developed other products, like innovative chillers and also heat exchangers that have three working media, unlike the ones that existed in the market then, with only a primary and secondary medium. Indeed, my heat exchangers have a third medium, working in tandem with the other two. So the heat transfers from the primary medium to the secondary one and, in turn, to the tertiary medium, all in one device. This has caused a revolution, especially in outdoor cooling technologies. I filed for a patent for this product, as well. It has not yet been commercialised, because it is patent-pending.
ALWAYS A WAY TO DO IT BETTER
In 2007, at the time of forming the company, we decided on the name, Advanced Technical Solutions, because it was self-explanatory, considering that we specialised in innovative products and solutions. And from the name emerged
our slogan, "If it is not innovative, it is
not ATS".
I believe that for everything, no matter how simple, there is a way to do it better. That is where the scope for innovation lies.
Out of the belief emerged the company, and I have executed a number of projects as an innovative consultant. I contributed to a number of solutions by coming up with good technical proposals – among them, I also prepared an innovative proposal to solve the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The point is, I believe that the rate of innovation in information technology, programming and the pharmaceutical sector is exponentially high unlike in the mechanical sector. Being a mechanical engineer, this got me thinking: Why do we not have more innovative mechanical products like in other sectors? I have focused on the mechanical innovations so far – and air-conditioning represents a huge part of the mechanical industry.
My current focus is on commercialising innovative air conditioning products, but I also have come up with innovative designs for different sectors – for instance I have designed an innovative car and also an innovative solution for a submarine. Though I find the other sectors attractive, I do realise that there is no scope for me to compete with the giants in those sectors, hence my resolute focus on air-conditioning to establish my innovative business before turning my attention elsewhere.
CHALLENGES IN OUTDOOR AIR CONDITIONING
In most cases, when people hear about air conditioning outdoor (open) stadia, they immediately think it is a crazy idea. They also conclude that a lot of money is being wasted and that a lot of power is being consumed to cool the air. They are sure that this cannot be 'green' at all. But the reality is very different. Despite the hot climate in the GCC, people still play sports here. It follows that sports facilities have to be provided to those wanting to play. It has been the trend to have closed domes for people to play and train inside them or for athletes to train in cooler climes abroad.
When you compare the air conditioning in an open stadium to that inside a closed stadium or dome, you can scarcely believe that the installed capacity for an outdoor stadium is less than that for a dome. Even the power consumption and running costs of the outdoor air-conditioning I have designed are much lower. Why is that so? It is because the closed dome is a confined space, has a roof and external walls. These are exposed to the sun all year round, and this ends up making the roof and walls heat up. So you have to provide air conditioning to remove the heat gain. If not, the temperature inside the closed spaces will go up, and the atmosphere inside will be completely uncomfortable. So one has to provide air conditioning 24 hour a day, 365 days in a year whether or not there is equipment and human activity inside, else the building will get worn out.
The case is different with open stadia, where you can switch on the air conditioning half an hour before the match and turn it off after the game is completed, about three hours later. If you look at the number of games per stadium, it is not that high a figure. Given the number of matches played in each open-air stadium throughout the year, the number of 'working hours' (for the air-conditioning) per annum is quite low.
In a closed stadium, the system has to be kept operational all year round, day and night, just to get rid of the heat coming from the sun. In the case of the open stadium, the air-conditioning is not switched on during the winter, because it not that hot then. Even in summer, it is switched on just before the match and turned off soon afterwards. Thanks to this, the power consumption is much lower, and the utilities bill is far less than for a closed stadium. It is much better to air-condition an open stadium than to air-condition a closed stadium. And even from a psychological point of view, people prefer to exercise and play in an open space rather than in a closed one.
OPPORTUNITIES IN THE GCC MARKET
It (outdoor air conditioning) is a new trend. We have created demand. Five years ago, no one could have imagined that such a thing was possible, but now, we have concrete results – a stadium working perfectly where anyone can play at any time of year. The temperature is around 20ºC, and the relative humidity is less than 50%. It is a pleasant atmosphere to play and train in, and one doesn't need to hold camps in Europe any longer.
So this technology will create a demand for people in the field of sports to have similar stadiums. There is a golden opportunity. To the best of knowledge, no one has managed to successfully design open, air-conditioned stadia, besides us.
CONVENTIONAL PRODUCTS HAVE NO CHANCE
In US, Europe and even the Far East, the environment for R&D is far more vibrant than in the Gulf, where it is far more challenging. People in this region have begun thinking about innovations and R&D, but the environment and the infrastructure is developing and is yet to reach the levels of other regions. But we have the capacity to work and innovate and come up with new ideas.
I have visited a few countries in the region and have found that they have a good and strong R&D department and come up with good solutions. If you don't have good R&D and innovation, you won't be around for too long! Nowadays, conventional products have no chance in the market. If your product is not innovative, the consumer will not buy it. It is as simple as that. This is what is happening in the IT industry; the same is the case with mobile phones. Consumers are an educated lot and keep abreast of innovations and keep an eye out for innovative products. Innovation is the new USP and the only way to sustain yourself in the market.
MY MENTORS
There have been a few people in my life who have dramatically changed my life and way of thinking and helped shape my career.
Professor Atif Khali at Cairo University gave me a lot of direction and changed my way of looking at problems. My father is a mechanical engineer, and I have learned a lot from him. He would always place me in challenging situations to test my decision-making process and ability to come up with solutions. This is how I learned and developed my problem-solving ability. It was very useful to me at that stage of my life. I also have a number of people around me – my wife, mother and friends especially – who believe in me a lot. They have given me honest and sincere advice every now and then.
WORKING IS MY HOBBY
My hobby is to work! I work not only during the day but even in the evenings when others may be relaxing. I read a lot, but only scientific books and journals relating to my field of work. You will not find any other book in my library. I got married in 2000 to Eman. I have four children – Mariam, nine; Osama, seven; Omar, five and Mohamed, four.
ONLY TIME HAS VALUE
I believe that the only thing in life that has value is time. One isn't alive forever, and one must utilise one's time efficiently. Time is precious and must not be wasted. One must make very good use of one's time. Simply put, time frittered away will not come back.

First of all, I will like to commend the selfless effort of Mr. Ahmed for contributing such brilliant industrial inventions and innovations.
My comment is directed toward the paragraph under the heading;
I believe Mr. Ahmed clearly provided a very logical explanation to the perception of people toward the energy comparison between the "Outdoor A/C Stadia" and the Indoor. Of course consumption in cooling the indoor facility is higher.
So we can easily term the concept of outdoor cooling of the stadium as energy efficient and Green!

У рачунарству и информатици -{LALR}- парсер, што је скраћеница од енгл. термина "-{lookahed LR parser}-" је посебан облик -{LR}- парсера који може да изађе на крај са више контекстно слободних граматика него -{SLR}- парсер (скраћено од енгл. -{simple LR}- парсер). -{LALR}- парсер је врло популаран тип парсера зато што прави добар компромис између броја граматика за које је применљив и величине таблице синтаксне анализе коју захтева. Компилатори најчешће користе овај тип парсера, такви су на пример -{YACC}- и -{GNU bison}-.

Као и -{SLR}-, -{LALR}- таблица синтаксне анализе се добија поправком технике конструкције таблице -{LR}-(0) синтаксне анализе.

Разликују се следеће поткласе {LR} граматика:

 -{LR}-(0), ако су таблице анализе формиране без обзира на предувидни симбол, а у процесу анализе се не јављају конфликти;
 -{SLR}-(1), ако је конфликте који се јављају у -{LR}-(0) анализи могуће отклонити узимајући у обзир све скупове Следећи симбола граматике;
 -{LALR}-(1), ако је конфликте који су се појавили у -{SLR}-(1) анализи могуће отклонити ограничавањем скупова Следећи само на оне симболе који су неопходни да би се извршила акција свођења;
 (канонска) -{LR}-(1) ако је за решавање конфликта у -{LALR}-(1) анализи потребно једној реченичној форми доделити више стања аутомата;

Скуп Следећи(А) за задати незавршни симбол А садржи све завршне симболе који се могу појавити непосредно иза симбола А, без обзира на контекст. Природа коначног аутомата какав је конструисан за -{LR}-(0) ајтеме је таква да се не захтева познавање свих симбола који могу следити за неким симболом А. Довољно је познавати скуп оних завршних симбола који се могу појавити на улазу када се изврши свођење по неком А правилу. У таквом случају скуп релевантних предувидних симбола је подскуп скупа Следећи(А) који ћемо назвати Предувидни скуп.

Предувидни скуп за помоћни симбол А се конструише тако што се у коначном аутомату посматрају само они завршни симболи који се могу појавити иза А непосредно после акције свођења на А. У случају појаве конфликта пребацивање-свођење, за његово разрешавање су од значаја само оне секвенције у ајтемима које су облика:

•Аа

где је а неки завршни терминал. Анализом ових секвенција омогућава се да коначни аутомат може да препозна да ли је потребно извршити свођење или не.

Дакле, док -{SLR}- корсти скупове Следећи за одређивање акција свођења, -{LALR}- користи предувидне скупове. Како је за дати -{LR}-(0) ајтем -{I}-, скуп Следећи(-{I}-) у ствари унија свих Предувидних скупова за све -{LR}-(0) ајтеме са истом левом страном као -{I}-, и као такав независан од стања парсера и десне стране ајтема, па тиме не носи информације о контексту. Са друге стране скуп Предувидни у зависности од контекста омогућава финије разрешавање конфликата.

Конструкција -{LALR}-(1) се може извршити тако што се прво конструише -{SLR}-(1) аутомат коме се затим додају предувидни симболи. Они се додају тако што се идентификују симболи који прате један ајтем. У случају свођења, ти симболи имају улогу скупа Следећи у случају -{SLR}-(1) анализе. Оваква конструкција је ефикаснија од конструисања канонског -{LR}-(1) аутомата, а затим стапања његових стања.

 -{LALR}-(1) граматике

Формална дефиниција -{LALR}-(1) граматике не може се једноставно упаковати у скуп правила. Уместо формалне дефиниције, можемо рећи да је граматика -{LALR}-(1) ако постоји њој одговарајући -{LALR}-(1) парсер са одсуством конфликта, и обрнуто.
-{LALR}-(1) је поткласа од -{LR}-(1) и наткласа од -{SLR}-(1). Граматика која није -{LR}-(1) дефинитивно није ни -{LALR}-(1), јер који год конфликт да је присутан за оригинални -{LR}-(1) парсер, биће присутан и за -{LALR}-(1) парсер. Граматика која је -{LR}-(1) може али не мора бити -{LALR}-(1) у зависности од тога да ли стапање производи конфликте или не. Граматика која је -{SLR}-(1) је дефинитивно и -{LALR}-(1). Граматика која није -{SLR}-(1) може и не мора бити -{LALR}-(1) у зависности од тога да ли прецизнији Предувидни скупови разрешавају -{SLR}-(1) конфликте.

-{LALR}-(1) парсер се показао као најчешћа варијанта фамилије -{LR}- парсера. Слабости -{SLR}-(1) и -{LR}-(0) парсера су у томе што су способни да изађу на крај са релативно малим скупом граматика. Експанзивне меморијске потребе -{LR}-(1) парсера учиниле су да је годинама био теоретски интересантан али постепено практично све приближнији. Предност -{LALR}-(1) парсера огледала се у томе што је понудио добар баланс између моћи скупова Предувида и величине таблице синтаксне анализе.
Већина конструкција над програмским језицима може бити описана -{LALR}-(1) граматиком.

Ooh, I really like this! Fantastic photo too!
brilliant page Linda! love the stitching on the strips of orange!


A Nissan executive said miles per charge will increase dramatically on the next edition of the Leaf launched this year and even farther on a 2020 new electric vehicle launch.
Kazuo Yajima, alliance global director of EV – HEV technology development, told Nikkei Automotive that the next Leaf that's expected to be introduced this year will extend range from the current 280 kilometers (173.98 miles) for the Leaf out to somewhere between 350 km to 400 km (217.48 miles to 248.54 miles).
However those figures are based on the JC08 test cycle, which was adopted by the Japanese auto industry as the standard in 2011. Like the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) standard, it's much farther than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's measure of per-charge range.
The current version of the Leaf sold in the U.S. gets 107 miles per charge. Nissan hasn't announced the range of the next-generation Leaf in the U.S. and overseas, but it could be similar to sister brand Renault's Zoe, which Renault says gets a "real-world" range of 186 miles.
As for the 2020 launch of another new EV model, Yajima said it will be able to go 550 km (341.75 miles) by 2020. Once again, that's likely to be based on the test standard in Japan, which would have far fewer miles per charge in the U.S.
That 2020 vehicle could very well be based on the IDS electric concept car introduced at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. Nikkei Automotive made reference to that prototype, which has a 60 kWh battery pack and cruising distance assumed to be 550 km under the JC08 standard.
Yajima said that increased range will come from a new battery cell with increased energy density, along with increasing the packing density of the cell to be mounted on the battery pack.
The 2020 concept EV will be the same size as the current Leaf.
"We have developed a prototype vehicle that can run 550 km while keeping the cargo capacity with the same external dimension as the current Leaf," he said.
PHEVs use the electric motor in "daily movements," Yajima said (in Japanese with a Google translation to English). It uses its gasoline engine when driving long distances.
If the travel distance of the electric vehicle is extended, it's not necessary to charge the car when traveling a long distance. At that point, the value of the PHEV is reduced, he said.
The question will be, what is the actual driving range of the next-gen Leaf– and the 2020 EV to be launched?
