The Ivybridge Heritage & Archives Group aims to celebrate the rich history of Ivybridge and is dedicated to promoting a lively interest in the Town's background and development by researching, collecting and preserving archives and photographic records of this unique Mill Town.
Follow the journey from the first watermarks created at Stowford Paper Mill in the mid nineteenth century to the very last one made in 2013 to mark the end of paper making in Ivybridge after 226 years of continuous production.
For decades the Telephone Exchange in Ivybridge was located above the Post Office in Fore Street. The manual switchboards were operated by trained telephonists.
Each April Stowford Paper Mill sent out locally picked primroses to all of its customers around the country. Each box contained two bunches of 50 primroses together with 5 leaves. However, due to growing environmental concerns in the 1980s this tradition ceased at the end of that decade.
To help preserve historical documents, objects and photographs, we have created a Heritage Donor Card for individuals to make donations of such items to Ivybridge Heritage & Archives Group. Please go to our 'Links' page for further information.

Latin Times Media Examines Ford's Rivian
The clock is ticking louder on Rivian's planned launch late next year of its first product, a battery-electric pickup with a claimed 400-mile range. There's lot of work to do in a short period if the company is to meet the ambitious target.
For instance, just two weeks ago, Rivian was granted another in a series of permits to revamp the former Mitsubishi assembly plant in Normal, Ill., where the company's electric pickup and SUV are to be built. Not only does the factory need to be retooled but a new work force needs to be hired and trained, and the production system validated before mass output and sales can start.
That alone is a lot to do in about 17 months. But if Rivian can rehire Mitsubishi employees who were furloughed when the plant was closed in mid-2016, the experienced work force might be able to reduce some of the training time.
Still, as I am with all startups, I remain skeptical of Rivian. The design, engineering and manufacturing challenges of bringing a vehicle to market with the quality, reliability, durability, refinement and performance that consumers expect is a daunting challenge even for established automakers. And even if a startup checks most of those boxes, making a consistent profit seems nearly impossible. Example: Tesla.
Also, retooling a factory and then building a new vehicle created by design, engineering and manufacturing teams that have never worked together, at a new company with a new culture, well, that amps up the complexity considerably.
To quote Ringo Starr far out of context: "It don't come easy" — not even with a bevy of rich benefactors.
Rivian's vehicle engineering and design center in Plymouth, Mich. — with a hip vibe, it's not your standard tech hub.
But after a recent after-hours tour of Rivian's Plymouth, Mich., engineering and technical center, I'd say Rivian has a fighting chance to prove itself in the marketplace. I don't think it will run out of money before launch, like so many startups.
Though I didn't get a chance to speak with executives or engineers, I can tell you Rivian is a real car company, not an underfunded, overhyped, ego-driven vanity project. And partially bankrolled with a $500 million cash injection from Ford, plus investments from Amazon and others, Rivian should have the resources to deliver a well-made vehicle.
Rivian's vehicle engineering and design center, in suburban Detroit in an old factory that once built cash registers and adding machines, seems out of place for the industrial Midwest. Rivian's tech hub has a very hip vibe to it, with an open kitchen area that has clear glass tubes on the wall filled with cereal. Dinner is catered each night to employees who work late. It has an airy feel, more like a trendy nightclub/art gallery than an engineering and design operation.
Jazzy electronic techno music oozes from speakers in the lobby, and the work areas are open. Most employees sit wherever they want and work on laptops. There are storyboards with early versions of marketing materials and charts, and pictures detailing Rivian's brand mission, target customers and the types of consumer items they buy, from bicycle seats to backpacks and other knickknacks. One long table — full of outdoor and adventure gear — looks plucked from the shelves of a Bass Pro Shops store.
Michael McHale, the company's head of corporate communications, shared Rivian's roster of engineering and product development teams. The list contains a deep bench of industry veterans that gives Rivian experienced hands to manage crucial roles — critical for a new automaker.
Mark Vinnels, for example, joined Rivian as executive director of engineering and vehicle programs in 2017 after a successful run at British supercar manufacturer McLaren. At McLaren, Vinnels was executive program director responsible for the company's road cars. Before McLaren, Vinnels worked at Lotus.
Rivian's chief of design, Jeff Hammoud, is a Jeep veteran. He was chief designer for the current Grand Cherokee. Gary Gloceri, a former Magna International engineer, led the development of the Ford Focus Electric powertrain, according to Rivian.

Info graphics prevail in papers, presentations as well as on the net. Infographics (a reduced variation of the term) are diverse types of visuals that include graphes, maps, layouts, data visualizations and also technological, instructional as well as clinical descriptions. What they share is that they are graphes of details, information or are valuable due to the fact that the world is complex and it's challenging to rapidly recognize thick information.
Both specialists and amateurs generate infographics, however many of these visuals aren't engaging for a variety of reasons. In fact, several unskilled infographics don't offer anything brand-new. They are no more than a group of words and also photos organized rationally on the display or page. Here are three common errors developers make when creating infographics.
Details graphics need to use visual language to supply a brand-new means of comprehending concepts, concepts and also data. However some infographics don't make it possible for users to see the details in a brand-new method. Instead, they apply the infographic using a traditional and common strategy.
The Deal with: Meditate regarding the design. Due to the fact that our brains are wired for pictures, graphics are recognized differently than text alone. Capitalize on this by ensuring your infographic provides data or details in such a way that enables viewers to perceive brand-new connections, new analysis and also brand-new analyses.
A primary facet of an effective information graphic is its company, expressed via visual structure. Yet some infographics appear to be randomly arranged, missing out on the possibility to existing info with clearness.
The Deal with: There are a few fixes for bad aesthetic company. One is to create an aesthetic hierarchy so the eye lands on the most vital details initially. One more technique is to piece the info into segments, when feasible. According to cognitive research, we can just hold about four or five affective devices in functioning memory at once. When details is organized into small bits, it is less complicated to process.
Info graphics ought to enable visitors to understand the subject at both a top-level and also detailed-level. Yet several details graphics are flat and do not give numerous sights of the content.
The Fix: Identify means to illustrate the visual information so viewers can promptly get the overview of what it's everything about. On top of that, supply a way for customers to look into the subject or data so they can get detailed info also.
Info graphics are swamping the Net and also consequently, several inexperienced in this art kind are creating them. Put in the time to obtain the standard design skills for developing engaging infographics and also avoid the mistakes discussed here.

When it comes to saving the environment, a single person can feel pretty powerless in making a change, but partnering with a group of people can make anyone feel like a lot is actually possible, even when everyone has not adopted the same opinion about conservation or environmental issues.
Earth day will be celebrating its 45th year in 2015. And over the years, it has come to represent a day to foster awareness and appreciation for environmental issues.
Earth day was inspired by a horrific oil spill in 1969, when US Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin witnessed the accident when he visited site. Soon after, a bill was passed, designating April 22nd as a national day to "celebrate the earth." At the time, Americans were driving huge cars that used leaded gas and allowing industries to belch out smoke and sludge with impunity. With the foundation of this national holiday, Earth Day quickly became an "environmental teach in" day that inspired a much needed response to environmental problems at a grassroots level. In fact, more than 20 million demonstrators and thousands of schools and local communities participated in that first Earth Day 45 years ago. While the US honors Earth Day in April, the United Nations picked up the cause in 1971, and started the first UN Earth Day on the equinox, which occurs in March.
The tenets of Earth Day are certainly not new when looking at simple examples, such as recycling and up cycling during the Great Depression. Before the 1960's, re-use and re-purposing were practiced by necessity, and very effectively. As the economy improved, and manufacturing expanded, those "shiny new things" replaced the useful and functional jewels of the family hearth because of the status they provided, and Americans adopted a disposable economy.
Ultimately, we are all enrolled in the same, "school of Life" and have discovered that there is no "away" where we can throw our "shiny things" when they are no longer shiny. There has in fact been no answer to the question of, "where exactly is away?" So Earth Day began to have an impact, along with other programs and emerging information.
Earth day is promoting its Billion Acts of Green® (BAG), the largest civic action movement in the world. Since they've already EXCEEDED the billion mark with over 1.12 billion actions to date, the new goal is 2 billion Acts of Green by April 22nd.
Who are all the endangered species? Why are we running out of water if the ocean is so vast? What makes pollution anyway?!!
Discover a region of the earth you don't know much about, such as the Arctic, the Galapagos Islands, the deserts, or the rainforests.
Join a local group that is involved in activities working on issues related to the environment– like foraging, planting a community garden, cleaning a steam… find a Meet Up that is interesting in your area.
Challenge yourself to "shop around the edges of the grocery store" – Buy as little as possible from the middle aisles, and avoid items that are sold in packages. Consider writing a letter to manufacturers and ask them to try to find more sustainable ways of packaging their items. Start a challenge or contest in your own company and see what happens. Blog about it. Try it at your local school.
Take your drink container with you during the day; avoid disposable plates and cutlery. Challenge your co-workers to do the same.
Recycle all the things you do use for the day or find other uses for things that you no longer use. Use a cloth bag for carrying things and recycle your plastic bags.
Go through your home and find things that you have not used or worn for more than a year. Either make something with those items, or give them away.
If you have children, and they have things they have not played with for more than a year, do the same thing with them. By giving their old toys and games to someone else – either a sibling who is younger, or to someone another person, children learn about giving to others and about reusing and recycling instead of throwing things away.
Research product exchange communities in your area like Freecycle or other similar options.
What is it and how does it play a role in business?
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a self-regulatory principle where a business monitors itself and takes the moral, ethical, and philanthropic responsibilities for its effect on the environment and impact on social welfare. As a whole, an organization's primary responsibility is to its stockholders. And to meet this responsibility, a company's CSR goals and its business ethics must work together to ensure that the legal and discretionary responsibilities match the values and actions of the organization.
Businesses, whether local or global, affect many lives from their supply chains to their customers and downstream through the disposal of their products. It is for this reason that so many companies and industries take their corporate social responsibilities seriously. For more information on this topic, go to HERE.
Welcome to the Year of the Green Wooden Sheep. As we say farewell to the Year of the Wooden Horse (2014), with its promise of travel and movement, we hope your ride over the past twelve months took you where you wanted to go.
We welcome 2015, the Year of the Green Wooden Sheep, that corresponds to renewal, growth and balance. The Sheep brings promises of a calm, but not sedate atmosphere in which to prosper. Combined with the evergreen and renewal characteristics of wood, the Sheep's creativity will be unleashed. This is the year for contemplating and appreciating what has already been accomplished, to think about bringing goodness to others. A steady path, generosity, and keeping the peace are this year's mantra. The renewal characteristics of wood enable each organization's creativity unleashed.
Doo Consulting has always taken pride in its individuality, and has enjoyed opportunities to share and collaborate. In the year of the sheep, remain good to others. Remain steady, generous, and peaceful.
There are five elements in the Chinese zodiac: wood, fire, earth, metal, water which are associated with their own "life force" or "chi". This energy blends with a corresponding animal to determine that year's fortune. In 2015, the corresponding element is wood. Wood by its very nature, is the element associated with all living things, the spring or life renewal process. Wood relates to trees, which relate to the color green. We hope this means good fortune for green businesses!
Our own ride in 2014 was eventful. We consolidated the LEED consulting services of TerraLogos EcoArchitecture, pc with Doo Consulting creating a broader and stronger practice in this service area. We partnered with some awesome teammates to successfully win the Baltimore City Schools Program Sustainability Consulting contract, MGM National Harbor Casino & Hotel, LEED certification of the Oriole Park at Camden Yard Complex and a 730 bed STEM Residence Hall at University of Connecticut. One of the most fascinating and enjoyable experiences of the year was the extremely successful facilitation of a multi-day Living Building Challenge project charrette for the Lemur Conservation Foundation in Myakka City, Florida. This is our second hands-on experience with a LBC project. We are also assisting in the DC Affordable Living Design Competition where we will serve on a team charrette panel and the jury! We look forward to 2015, Year of the Wooden Sheep.
WeSpire and One Small Act are web based engagement programs that can help individuals and organizations realize sustainability or social responsibility targets and measure their impact.

WeSpire and One Small Act attack these challenges by engaging people in networks with others, establishing teams and tapping into people's inherent desire to improve and compete. Think that your individual efforts don't make a difference? Think again.
The Green Button – Your energy data is just a click away!
The Green Button Initiative is a government sponsored, industry-led effort that provides utility customers with easy and secure access to their energy usage information in a consumer-friendly and computer-friendly format. In late 2012 and early 2013, the Green Button had been adopted by utilities and electric suppliers who made energy data available to individuals and commercial building owners with a simple click of a literal "Green Button" on electric utilities' websites. With their own data in hand, consumers can take advantage of a growing array of online services to help them manage energy use and save on their bills.
To date, a total over 50 utilities and electricity suppliers have signed on to the initiative. In total, these commitments ensure that over 60 million homes and businesses will be able to securely access their own energy information in a standard format. The following utilities have already committed to Green Button: American Electric Power, Austin Energy, Baltimore Gas & Electric, CenterPoint Energy, Chattanooga EPB, Commonwealth Edison, Glendale Water and Power, National Grid, NSTAR, Oncor, Pacific Power, Pepco Holdings, PG&E, PECO, Portland General Electric, PPL Electric Utilities, Reliant, Rocky Mountain Power, SDG&E, Southern California Edison, TXU Energy, and Virginia Dominion Power.
Apps, apps, apps! At last check, there were more than 60 Green Button apps available, offering a range of capabilities and services. We have provided a link to the site so you can test drive any of the apps yourself. We've provided a few apps here for fun. To see a full list of applications, visit the open innovation challenge site HERE.
This name seems to be a play on IBM's Watson and Watts – related to the term energy. The app is a comprehensive energy management platform designed to help people save money by saving energy. The app analyzes usage by room, equipment and time of day. Can also analyze information at the community level for larger scale projects.
Loved this one. Its goal is to make energy data beautiful – and accessible. The app is virtually all images with few words, yet it also uses the Green Button to pull in data, analyze it and generate warnings, recommendations and tips. The images are amusing, but they do work with the phrases or guidance. The website is under construction but check out their YouTube video.
Combines a Social media platform (Facebook) with an incentive game and energy tips along with the data. The foundation for this program is based on scientific research that indicates that different people respond differently to things, and differently to different things. This program relies on consumer engagement, so it offers a variety of experiences to attract more individuals. The activities have frequent interactions, and include incentives to serve as motivators. The more interaction there is with the customer, the more the experience improves, and the greater the engagement becomes. Take a look!
In addition to providing LEED project administration services, Doo Consulting, LLC assists businesses meet their broader sustainability goals. Let us know if we can help you!
To date, the Maryland Green Building Council (MGBC) has not recommended any alternative rating system; hence, the pressure to adopt some alternative compliance path. The timing of the adoption of the IgCC as a code in the state of Maryland is perfect. Not only does it present a viable option to LEED that the Council can accept but, it coincides with other concerns about LEED v4 as well as interest in other numeric rating systems for schools.
I have seen a draft of the version of the IgCC that the MGBC is working on. There is nothing definitive as it is a work in progress but, the current version states that a Green Building certification equivalent to a LEED Silver rating would exempt one from IgCC compliance.
Remember that a Code is a minimum standard. What is good about this for green building is that it sets a minimum performance standard for all buildings and, as a code, requires compliance. The IgCC can be "tuned" to meet the priorities of a particular jurisdiction. For Maryland, the adopted version of the IgCC can advance State priorities for energy use reduction, water quality and other goals.
LEED, on the other hand, is a rating system that rewards green building efforts by awarding points for specified actions or "credits" that the project delivers. The more credits you accumulate, the higher your score. Selection of those credits is up to the discretion of the design team. The State has no control over the credits that a project team will pursue, other than requiring the level of certification (LEED Silver). So, while a group of buildings may all be LEED Silver certified, there is unlikely to be any consistency in the energy performance of those buildings.
Let's be absolutely clear; the State's version of the IgCC has NOT yet been fully drafted, let alone approved. Whether State agencies and their architects will find it easier to comply with the IgCC and its required performance targets or pursue a LEED certification where they can pick and choose the credits to achieve is unclear. Certainly, the design and construction industry is familiar with LEED and, in some cases, may find it advantageous to not have to comply with the IgCC. Additionally, with the implementation of LEED v4 this summer, USGBC will re-establish LEED as an aspirational rating system. Certainly the LEED moniker has a market cache that "code compliant" cannot match.
I agree with Stewart, author of "Maryland Sidesteps LEED," that the adoption and implementation of the IgCC will be good for green building and good for the State overall. I do not agree that the State is "sidestepping LEED," rather it is complementing this numeric rating system with a code to cover more buildings and advance green building.


The project renovated many of the major lab and classroom spaces in place, while re-configuring other spaces for faculty offices. Newly renovated lab spaces include: Student Fabrication Lab, Thermo-Dynamics Lab, Materials Lab, Circuits Lab, and Structural Lab. Existing tiered classrooms were also renovated.
A new 2-story glazed lobby with suspended student lounge at the southwest corner of the building creates a welcoming and transparent presence on the main campus lawn for the Engineering and Business programs.
The building was designed to achieve higher energy efficiency and LEED Silver certification. The entire perimeter of the building as well as the roof was re-insulated based on new energy standards. All windows were replaced with higher performing glazing systems. The renovation also involved the replacement of all mechanical, electrical, IT, and fire protection systems.


ASHFORD ISLAND (GB) is a 5 year old GELDING which was most recently trained by 0. This GELDING was foaled in 2013, and is by the sire MUNNINGS (USA) and dam FALLING ANGEL (GB).
Whenever an item is posted to this site relating to ASHFORD ISLAND (GB) it will be listed below, in reverse chronological order (the most recently listed items will be nearest the top of this page, below).


First, make sure that your computer has an actual video card, either NVidia or Radeon, not an Intel HD integrated chipset. Some models of the latter occasionally manage to run MMD, but as a rule, these are intended for office solutions and are not eligible for graphic intensive applications like MikuMikuDance. Also, make sure your card's drivers are updated to the latest version.
Also , if your MMD folder is residing in Documents, Downloads, Program Files, or other Windows-related folder, try to move it to the root of your C:\ drive. Some systems' UAC settings prevent uncertified programs from having full control in those folders.
And now, proceed for real tests.
One: open your C:\Windows\System32 folder and scroll down to .dll files that start with d3dx9_. There have to be 20 of them, numbered from 24 to 43. If there are less (or none), install DirectX 9.0c. Do *not* assume that if you have a higher version installed, it should be enough, just do it.
Two: open your Control Panel's Programs and Features window and scroll down to Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable libraries. There have to be 2005 (x86) and 2008 (x86) versions if you have 32-bit MMD, or 2008 (x64) and 2010 (x64) versions otherwise. There might be higher versions as well, but regardless of whether there are, these two are necessary for MMD and MME proper functioning; if they are not there, install them.
These are routine tests that sift out 95% of all problems that people write us about. There's no point in investigating other possible sources of a problem until these two points are clarified.
Troubleshoot MMD models-- or anything else-- with four techniques!


Do you find that money worries affect more than your wallet or bank balance? Or find that worrying about mounting debt or lack of income seems to cloud your thinking about other things? Its not your imagination and, you're not alone.
Research by the non-profit consulting firm ideas42 from the U.S. on the psychological toll of living in poverty, has recently concluded that when people live in "chronic scarcity" — meaning they lack sufficient money, housing and food to thrive — their brains become overtaxed because they're coping with emergency after emergency.
That in turn can diminish self-control and harm people's ability "to evaluate options and make high-quality decisions," wrote ideas42. "In short, scarcity makes us less insightful, less forward-thinking, and less controlled," the study also stated.
Worth considering is that financial stress is not solely restricted to those in abject poverty. For instance, the USA faces $1.5 trillion just in outstanding student debt, a third of students in a 2018 survey said their student loan bills were a major source of stress.
A recent study at the National University of Singapore's Social Service Research Centre, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America has supported earlier observations involving cognitive abilities and chronic financial debt.
The study involved almost 200 low-income people who unexpectedly had portions of their long-running mortgage, utility and municipal debts paid down by a charity.
Researchers tested participants before and after their windfalls on their ability to spot matches and mismatches in written exams. The recipients were also tested for general anxiety disorders and their ability to make more favourable financial decisions.
• The proportion of participants showing general anxiety disorders went from 78% to 53% after the debt relief.
• Numbers of people showing "present bias," which favours instant gratification, dropped from 44%, to 33%. Indicating that their impulse control had improved.
Getting rid of debt doesn't just unburden finances, it takes a weight off the mind that clears up cognitive functioning, reduces anxiety and improves impulse control.
One way to reduce your bandwidth taxes? Consolidate debt to simplify the pay-off experience, researchers suggested.


Before you think about finalizing the sale of your real-estate project in Canada you should consider promoting your project in Canada. Construction marketing helps you attract customers to your real-estate project, whether it is before, during or after construction. A real-estate agent helps you to sell the project and the contractor helps you to deal with customers and the project during the construction. Once the marketing process has been activated you can think about sales. Construction Daniel Dargis Inc., through its experience as a building contractor, guides you in setting up a marketing plan in construction with experts such as: a real-estate agent, a marketing consultant and a publicist.
Today the success of a project depends not only on good works. It also depends on the marketing and sales team. We understand better than anyone else your situation as business people because we are building contractors. However, it takes more than entrepreneurial talent. It is also necessary to have skills in marketing and sales of construction projects. Previously, it was almost essential to call upon a real-estate agent to do the marketing and publicizing of a real-estate project. Today, the Internet and the social media play a very important role in construction marketing allowing the developer to launch his own campaign. Construction Daniel Dargis Inc. has a network of experts in social media in Canada and selects for you the right real-estate agent to establish a marketing strategy for your building project.
The credibility of your company and project in Canada is an important issue in your marketing plan in construction in Canada. Relying only on a real-estate agent to sell a project is not recommended. How and when to do your marketing and also who your partners are, that will create a climate of trust among your customers. Construction Daniel Dargis Inc. teams up with a real-estate agent to mount a marketing campaign in construction to add credibility to the project and trust with your customers. We are members of the Quebec Order of Engineers, member of the APCHQ and the Régie du Bâtiment du Québec since 1989.
Construction Daniel Dargis Inc. takes care of the complete development of the sales strategy through: the marketing by Internet and other media, finding a real-estate agent for the sales and installing a model sales office for the development and implementation of the real-estate project. You will therefore have better control over the sales instead of relying on a real-estate agent to do all the marketing of the project.
When it comes to selling a property project before construction from a model and plan office a real-estate agent will of course help close the sale but when construction will begin and the customers will require special attention to monitoring and customizing of their dwellings then a real-estate agent is not helpful in most cases. Construction Daniel Dargis Inc. takes care of managing customer requests during construction.
The competition is fierce, the opportunities are great for construction in Canada and your marketing plan in construction will bring you success. Big or small, we believe that your business must benefit from a competent marketing team in construction. That is why we provide a team of professionals, a cutting-edge support, and flexible marketing plans in construction.

U.S. Ninth Circuit/
Li v. Holder, No. 06-73365
By FindLaw Staff on January 20, 2011 | Last updated on March 21, 2019
Petition for Review of Removal Order Granted
In Li v. Holder, No. 06-73365, a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals decision affirming an immigration judge's denial of petitioner's application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture, the court granted the petition where 1) there was a lack of substantial evidence to base adverse credibility on the finding that petitioner was not a Christian; and 2) there was a lack of substantial evidence to base adverse credibility on the finding that petitioner was evasive or inconsistent.
As the court wrote: "Lei Li, a native and citizen of the People's Republic of China, petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") decision affirming an immigration judge's ("IJ") denial of his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. Li's petition was denied based on an adverse credibility determination. We have jurisdiction to review under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We reverse the adverse credibility determination and remand to the agency for further proceedings."

Q: Передача видео с веб-камеры на сайт Всем доброго дня.
Пробую орагнизвать передачу видео (rtmp-поток) с веб-камеры на сайт.
Поставил на Linux erlyvideo и прописал в конфиге нужные настройки (секция rewrite).
Вывел на сайте флеш, который будет показыать rtmp-поток с erlyvideo (пример взят с документации).
Теперь осталось передать на сайт сам rtmp-поток с камеры.
Хотелось бы, чтобы захват осуществлялся не сторонним ПО, а флешем, но с флеш программированием не сталкивался.
Есть ли у кого готовый Flash элемент, который может захватывать видео с web-камеры и передавть rtmp-поток на указанный адрес (где стоит erlyvideo)?
Или подскажите, где есть код для такого флеша, который - только откомпилить и флешка готова?
Заранее спасибо.

Symposium on "4th Industrial Revolution and iktva Support"
DHAHRAN, May 13, 2018
IKTVA
Saudi Aramco participated today in the Eastern Province Chamber of Commerce symposium on the "4th Industrial Revolution and iktva support." The event highlighted the investment opportunities offered by the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution and the role of small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
The event, which was attended by investors and industrialists as well as representatives from the public and private sectors, was opened by Abdulhakeem Al Khalidi, EP Chamber president who welcomed Saudi Aramco participation, praising its support for such gatherings which provide an impetus for the economic and investment climate in the Eastern Province.
Saudi Aramco's Manager for Industrial Development and Strategic Supply, Abdullah Al Thaali, thanked the EP Chamber of Commerce for providing a platform for the private sector and investors to learn about the 4th Industrial Revolution and the investment opportunities in this area. Al Thaali explained that Saudi Aramco's localization initiative iktva has acted as an incubator for localization investments, especially for small and medium enterprises. He said that since it was launched, iktva has achieved an average of 45% localization success rate, with local purchases of good reaching 50% in 2017, a record in the company's history.
The event agenda included a presentation and round-table discussion on Saudi Aramco's iktva program and its role in support of the national economy through the localization and value addition of the local industry and technology sectors, as well as an explanation of the procedures for registration in the iktva program.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres. It is marked by emerging technology breakthroughs in a number of fields, including robotics, artificial intelligence, block chain, nanotechnology, quantum computing, biotechnology, the Internet of Things, 3D printing and autonomous vehicles.

West End Studio Tour preview: Andrew King
By editorkitchissippicom on August 21, 2014 • ( Leave a comment )
By Anita Grace –
The paintings of Andrew King have roots. They are rooted in the stories of our past, and the buildings in our neighbourhoods.
"We have a lot of cool history," explains King. "I'm trying to bring it to the surface so people can appreciate it a bit more."
Local artist Andrew King promises that there will be "something for everyone," at his stop on the tour, including sketches, paintings and the debut of a new T-shirt design. Photo by Anita Grace.
As a history buff, it is fitting that King's home – and the site for his part in the West End Studio Tour (WEST) – backs onto the Sisters of the Visitation Convent that was built in 1880. His paintings and sketches will be displayed on the temporary wall that surrounds the convent and the adjacent construction site.
Having lived in Kitchissippi since 1994, King knows the area well but continues to discover new details about the city and its past. "There is always something interesting," he says. Many of his paintings depict buildings that have an interesting history as well as architectural form.
From the history of Samuel de Champlain's discovery of the great oak trees around the park that now bears his name, to the 1920s dance hall at Westboro Beach, King loves exploring our history and using it to inform his work. He carefully plans and sketches out each composition, then uses fine, detailed brushstrokes to apply thin layers of acrylic paint.
The results, rich with detail but minimalist in style, have earned him praise from art curators and fellow artists alike.
Anne House, the owner and curator at Mad Dog Gallery in Prince Edward County where King regularly shows his work, describes his art as "very whimsical but very accurate."
"He goes one step beyond a typical artist," she says. She explains that the history behind each painting and the stories that King creates for the characters within them add a unique dimension to his work.
Similarly, fellow WEST artist Lynette Chubb describes King's work as "a combination of both a meticulous architectural and a comedic cartooning background, resulting in masterful technical detail spiced with an engaging sense of humour."
"Andrew's work is very detailed," agrees another fellow artist, Alison Fowler. "And every piece has a story behind it."
Fowler and King are a creative couple who are well known in the local art scene. "Alison and Andrew are both talented artists," says Don Monet, owner and curator of Cube Gallery and the originator of the West End Studio Tour 15 years ago. "They have helped foster a thriving art culture here in the west end."
This is King's fourth time participating in WEST, returning to the tour this fall after taking a year off in 2013.
"The tour is a great way for Kitchissippi neighbours to learn about artists in their community," he says. "It's a chance to experience art in a casual way."
For this year, he promises that there will be "something for everyone," including sketches, paintings and the debut of a new "Ottawa nostalgia" T-shirt design.

Home PC & Laptop Reviews ROG Zephyrus G14 Review: The Most Powerful 14-inch Gaming Laptop
Yasir Utomo September 11, 2020 PC & Laptop , Reviews Comment
ASUS is again kicking off the gaming laptop market by presenting the ROG Zephyrus G14. Appearing with a 14-inch screen and a lightweight body, ROG Zephyrus G14 is claimed to be the most compact and powerful laptop in the world. How does it get this nickname? The AMD Ryzen Mobile 4000 series processor is one of the answers.
This processor with the code name Renoir is not just a new product, but comes with the latest Zen 2 architecture built from 7nm FinFET processing. This means that the Ryzen Mobile 4000 series uses transistors that are smaller than the previous generation laptop processors.
The use of small transistors makes ROG Zephyrus G14 perform much better and has lower power consumption. This is also what makes this latest gaming laptop from ASUS able to appear with a very compact body, far from being considered a large and heavy traditional gaming laptop.
It's not just for gamers
One of the things that distinguishes the ROG Zephyrus G14 the most from other ROG Zephyrus series laptops, even with other gaming laptops is its design. This laptop comes with a minimalist and futuristic design, making it not only usable as a machine for playing games at home but also for other purposes outside home. ROG Zephyrus laptop G14 also easy to clean.
ROG Zephyrus G14 comes in two color choices. Moonlight White has an elegant white accented look for those who want to look different everywhere. Meanwhile, Eclipse Gray comes with elegant dark color accents for users who prefer the look of a classic, fierce gaming laptop.
ASUS placed the ROG logo which was originally in the middle of the back of the screen to the lower left corner. The logo is deliberately presented so that the ROG Zephyrus G14 does not lose its identity as part of the ROG family but still maintains its minimalist design.
One thing that is not less interesting, on the back of the screen there are also small holes arranged and dividing the back of the screen in half diagonally. Minimalist design like it has never been used on any gaming laptop.
In terms of size, the ROG Zephyrus G14 is also not like other guaranteed laptops. It carries a 14-inch screen that is rarely used in gaming laptops, and has a weight of under 2 kg (1.6 kg to be precise) which is also rarely found on a gaming laptop that has premium specifications.
ROG Zephyrus G14 also has a body that is classified as very compact and can even compete with mainstream ultrathin laptops. Its thickness is only 1.79 cm, and appears with dimensions of 32.4 x 22.4 cm. This means that the ROG Zephyrus G14 is very easy to carry around and can even fit into a sling bag like a mainstream laptop.
Reflecting on the design it carries, ROG Zephyrus G14 is not only targeting gamers but also those who need a powerful laptop in their daily activities. The minimalist design and low profile on the ROG Zephyrus G14 not only keeps users mobile, but also suitable for use in the work environment.
All the best features are in it
As a premium gaming laptop labeled Republic of Gamers, ROG Zephyrus G14 is of course equipped with the best features in its class. The features that are carried do not only focus on gaming, but also daily productivity.
ROG Zephyrus G14 comes with a 14-inch screen designed for gaming needs. For this reason, the panel is able to provide a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The animation display in the game will be even smoother because the ROG Zephyrus G14 screen can display high framerates.
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 Packing
The ability to display high framerates is very important for gamers, especially those who like to play action games. This is because a high framerate will make every action appear better, allowing gamers to react faster.
For those of you who are engaged in content creators and are more concerned with screen resolution, ASUS also provides a ROG Zephyrus G14 variant with a WQHD resolution screen. Unlike gamers, content creators usually prioritize high-resolution screens to process a lot of content optimally.
Whether the variant has a high refresh rate or high resolution, the ROG Zephyrus G14 screen has been calibrated to produce more accurate colors. Therefore, this gaming laptop also has the PANTONE Validated Display certification.
ROG Zephyrus G14 is also equipped with two USB Type-C ports, one of which supports the Power Delivery feature. This means that users can recharge this gaming laptop battery using a charger adapter with a power of up to 65W, which is certainly smaller than the 180W charger adapter that comes with this laptop.
It should be noted that the maximum performance of the ROG Zephyrus G14 can only be presented when connected with a 180W charger adapter. Apart from being able to charge, the USB Type-C port on the ROG Zephyrus G14 also supports display output. Plus an HDMI 2.0b port, this laptop can be connected to two 4K resolution monitors at once.
Not to forget, ASUS has also inserted the latest WiFi 6 (Gig +) module into the ROG Zephyrus G14. WiFi 6 has a higher data transfer rate than WiFi 5 (802.11ac), which is up to 2.4 Gbps. WiFi 6 also ensures that the ROG Zephyrus G14 can still be connected with the best signal quality and speed in its class.
Another great feature is the presence of a fingerprint reader on the Power button. ROG Zephyrus G14 is the first gaming laptop to come with this feature. Not only that, the ROG Zephyrus G14 is also the first gaming laptop in the world to use SSO Power Button (Single Sign On) technology.
Got a special keyboard and a sophisticated cooling system
Despite its small body size, the ROG Zephyrus G14 is still equipped with a keyboard that is the same size as the keyboards on other ROG laptop series. Each key on the keyboard on the ROG Zephyrus G14 has a distance and travel distance specially designed for both playing games and working.
ROG Zephyrus G14 Special Keyboard
The gaming features are not removed. N-Key Rollover technology is back in the ROG Zephyrus G14, making every input will be translated very accurately. In addition, the ROG Zephyrus G14 keyboard has the same layout as a desktop PC keyboard, making it easier for gamers to act in games.
Meanwhile, to keep performance stable, ROG Zephyrus G14 has been equipped with a special cooling system that is different from gaming laptops in its class. In addition to keeping performance stable, the special cooling system in ROG Zephyrus G14 is the key to how this gaming laptop is able to come up with high performance.
The ROG Zephyrus G14 cooling system consists of several features, one of which is the ErgoLift Hinge. The premium features that have been used in various ASUS laptops allow the main body of the ROG Zephyrus G14 to be lifted when the screen is opened or in use.
Not only ErgoLift Hinge, ROG Zephyrus G14 is also equipped with a special cooling module. On the heatsink side, the ROG Zephyrus G14 has a thinner fin heatsink. This allows a greater number of fins to be installed and the total surface area to spread heat over a wider area.
ROG Zephyrus G14 Cooling and Fan
Coupled with fans that have more fan blades than most other laptops, ROG Zephyrus G14 not only has guaranteed air circulation but also overall better cooling performance.
ROG Zephyrus G14 users can also control how the cooling system on this gaming laptop works. Through the Armory Crate application, ROG Zephyrus G14 users can select a predefined usage scenario profile or set everything manually.

Every North West case by postcode as tier decisions less than a week away
Cases continue to rise across Lancashire, Cumbria, Manchester, Liverpool and Cheshire with less than a week until the tier decision
Rachel HowarthSenior reporter
A total of 322,133 coronavirus cases have now been reported across the North West since the start of the pandemic.
Lancashire, including Blackpool and Blackburn with Darwen, has seen a total of 66,614, based on Public Health England figures.
Yesterday evening (December 11), almost 450 new coronavirus cases were recorded, with one borough seeing an unexpected spike.
Wyre, which previously had one of the lowest infection rates in the county, recorded a total of 57 new cases in the latest 24 hour testing period, a sharp rise on the increases for the rest of week, which have typically been under 20 a day.
As of Thursday (December 10), Wyre's infection rate was 107.1 new cases per 100,000 people, with 132 cases recorded across the entire week to December 6. This was significantly lower than the then England average of 157.8.
Chorley also saw a spike with 52 new cases; up from the 36 new cases confirmed on Thursday.
Blackburn with Darwen saw a reduction in new confirmed cases, with 39. This was down from 72 on Thursday and 71 on Wednesday.
The lowest increase came in Wyre's neighbouring borough, Fylde, where there were 16 new cases.
The next tier review is set to take place on Wednesday (December 16), when it will be decided if Lancashire stays in Tier 3 or can be moved down to Tier 2.
In reality, the real number will be significantly higher than this due to testing issues that have dogged the UK for numerous months in 2020.

You may have heard someone say the Bible is a Christian's road-map. The Bible, they say, tells us how to get to where we are going, complete with detailed instructions on the best way to travel through our lives. I don't know about you, but that never made much sense to me. Personally, I don't find road-maps in the Bible, I find stories, wonderful, complex, holy stories.
A road-map is designed to help us get from one place to another, typically in the most direct manner. Find a map of the Interstate Highway system and we can plan our route from New York to Seattle in 15 minutes, if we bother with a map. Most likely we'll program a GPS or use the Google maps app on our phone. It will be fast, efficient, and easy. We won't be bothered much by anything located between New York and Seattle. We will be in our private car, listening to our personally selected music , our climate control precisely set, our cruise control on, our seats comfortably adjusted, with our beverages in our convenient individual cup holders. We can make our plan and never detour, never get lost. It is efficient, but not particularly interesting way to travel. In my experience, that's not how life unfolds, certainly not the life of faith described in the Bible.
And so I began to wonder, could the Bible is a map of some kind? If so, what sort of map is it? A state map? The bus route? A map of the world? A star chart? Is it a map of the fire exits out of the building?
I think the Bible is most like a topographic map, a map for a particular kind of travel.
Topographic maps require close, careful study. The longer we look, the more we discover. Topographic maps show us the terrain, the high places and the bogs. They show us which rivers have rapids and waterfalls. They mark the deserts and the forests. They tell us which lakes last all year and which dry up in the heat of summer. The map shows us where to find springs and wells.
The contour lines on the map tell us how steep the climb up the hill will be and where we will find a gently sloping path into the valley. Glaciers and scrub land, forest and swamp , each are each accurately noted.
The trails of those who have traveled this way before are marked for those who follow. The paved road, the unimproved road, the scenic tour are all on the map. The foot trail, the switchbacks, the tough climb, and the dead end are on this map as well. If we study the map we may discover there is more than one way to get there from here.
The map helps us find the good campsites, where there is enough space and fresh water for us and the anyone else on the trail. These are the places where people can gather safely, tell their stories, and rest for a while. We can locate towns and villages. We can also find the abandoned settlements, where a community could not sustain itself. A close study of the map may help us understand what happened. Were they too far away from reliable water or maybe prone to flood? Perhaps too high up for crops to grow?
We have the map because someone came here first, paid attention to what was around them, and left a careful record for us. The map can't tell us everything we need to know, but it helps us keep our bearings.
It seems to me the Bible is most like a topographic map. We are shown the lay of the land. Given a terrain of faith. We are shown the contours and textures of the land by those who went before us. They left us the record of travels through mountains and valleys. They show us where people wandered off the path and they point the way back. Dangerous cliffs and dry wells are all marked out for us. But also, we find where the rough places turn into a plain. We find the way out of a dead end canyon. And we find the place good, fresh water is always present. The places that sheltered other travelers are marked. We are able to rest where pilgrims have always rested safely. The Bible, if we let it, changes us from travellers and tourists into pilgrims.
We must chart our own way through the wilderness and find our own path, but we needn't travel blindly. We have the Bible, carefully and lovingly written, handed on from traveler to traveler. It's more concerned with safe passage than speedy travel. And if we are willing, there are fellow travelers around, companions for the journey.
Topographic maps and the Bible, each in their own way, help us appreciate the land around us and they help us to walk with intention and care. They give us the courage to explore the country we are passing through. Because it is as much about the pilgrimage as it is about the destination.

Stafford Notes: Tony Membrino Jr. Two Straight In SK Light Mods; Adam Gray Wins In Late Model
May 15, 2015 by Shawn Courchesne 2 Comments
Tony Membrino Jr. (Photo: Stafford Motor Speedway)
STAFFORD – After winning last week's SK Light Modified feature at Stafford Motor Speedway, Tony Membrino Jr. was lamenting the struggles of the start of the season for his team.
Membrino said the two abbreviated events because of his wrecks in the first two races of the season marked the first time he had consecutive races that he did not finish.
Friday he was building a more positive consecutive streak.
Membrino, of Plantsville, used a lap 15 restart to go to the lead and win the 20-lap SK Light Modified feature Friday at Stafford Speedway.
Stephen Kopcik of Newtown was second and 14-year old rookie Daniel Wesson of Monson, Mass. was third.
It was the first time in his career Membrino had won two consecutive features at Stafford.
"I'm speechless," Membrino said. "I've never had this kind of thing happen. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come. Maybe we can go for a three-peat next week. It's funny how that works. First time I ever had back-to-back DNF's, now the first time I ever had back-to-back wins. Maybe with the coincidences we can just go back to just racing and having fun and kicking some ass."
Membrino used a lap 15 restart to go by Wesson for the lead and then went unchallenged the rest of the way.
"That was my only shot to win," Membrino said. "I've been doing pretty good on my restarts this year. I've been known to mess them up. I wasn't going to take anything away from him being a rookie, but I knew – he was running good – my best chance to beat him was on that restart. We got the same jump and I just got through the gears quicker and I had a good run on him. I don't know what happened after we came out of [turn] two. He just washed right up the track."
Said Wesson: "That restart just got me. He just got me on the outside."
Two-time defending Late Model division champion Adam Gray snapped a great streak in an even greater way.
Gray got his first victory of the season in the 30-lap Late Model feature.
Gray, of Belchertown, Mass., had finished second in the first three events of the season.
Gray went by Josh Wood for the lead on lap 17.
Wood, of Palmer, Mass., was second and Tom Butler of Stafford third.
Filed Under: News, Stafford Speedway
Chris D. says
Stafford's Late Model division is in serious trouble, only 11 cars took the green and one of those is basically a start and park car (the #2). Don't think there was more than 1600 people in the stands… Both mod divisions have strong fields of cars.
Congrats to the whole membrino clan and raceworks.

The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP8430a was selected from the N-term region of human STEP . A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.
STEP (striatum-enriched phosphatase) is a neural-specific protein-tyrosine phosphatase, first isolated from the rat brain. The 537-amino acid predicted human protein as isolated from cDNA sequences is between 85 and 90% identical to the mouse and rat sequences. In rat neuronal cell cultures, glutamate-mediated activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors leads to the rapid but transient phosphorylation of extracellular signal-related kinase-2 (ERK2). NMDA-mediated influx of calcium, activates the calcium-dependent phosphatase calcineurin and the resulting dephosphorylation and activation of STEP. STEP then inactivatea ERK2 through tyrosine dephosphorylation and blocks translocation of the kinase to the nucleus. STEP plays a significant role in regulating the ERK activation and downstream signaling in neurons.

In this challenge you need to provide 2 variables and values.
By now you'll have been introduced to the concept of values that are "truthy" or "falsy". Basically a falsey value is any value that evaluates to zero.
Do you know about booleans yet? That's the filename in your code challenge giving you a clue as to the values it is expecting.
In Booleans, what is a "truthy" value and what could be a "falsey" value?

scheduleAbsolute * Defines an absolute timeframe for the test. Either scheduleAbsolute or scheduleAsap has to be defined.
scheduleAsap * Defines that a test should start as soon as possible. Either scheduleAbsolute or scheduleAsap has to be defined.
emailResults If set, the test results are emailed to the user by the end of the test. The email address is taken from the user account settings. Possible values: yes, no. If element is not specified, no is assumed.
All targets used in a test need to be defined within the <targetConf> element.
obsIds * One or more observer IDs. If multiple IDs are given, the block is valid for all of them. 3-digit ID(s) of the observer(s) to configure. Consult the testbed status site for a list of usable observers and targets attached to the observers.
voltage Voltage in volt with which the target is to be powered. 1.8 - 3.3 in 0.1 steps. If element is not specified, 3.3 is assumed.
dbImageId * Image ID from the FlockLab database to be used on this target(s). Consult the images management site for a list of available images. Note that an image has to be uploaded to the images management site before it can be referenced here. Either <dbImageId> or <embeddedImageId> has to be specified.
<imageConf>. Target images can be defined in two ways for a test: either by referencing an image which is already in the FlockLab database or by adding the image directly to the XML configuration file. The latter case is done with <imageConf> elements.
If you want to use the serial service, define it <serialConf>.
remoteIp IP address from which serial data will be sent to node. If not specified, IP of machine that registered the test will be used. Note: If your machine only has an IPv6 address, then the xml validation will fail.
If you want to use the GPIO tracing service, define it in <gpioTracingConf>.
pinConf * One or more blocks containing configuration for one pin.
callbackGpioActAdd Subelement of <pinConf>. Registers a GPIO pin actuation after detection of a traced pin edge. Not to be used at the same time as <callbackPowerProfAdd>.
callbackPowerProfAdd Subelement of <pinConf>. Registers a power measurement after detection of a traced pin edge. Not to be used at the same time as <callbackGpioActAdd>.
If you want to use the GPIO actuation service, define it in <gpioActuationConf>.
periodic Subelement of <pinConf>. If the defined event is to be executed more than once in a periodic manner, use this element.
relativeTime * Subelement of <pinConf>. Defines an event relative to the start time of the whole test. Either <relativeTime> or <absoluteTime> has to be defined.
absoluteTime * Subelement of <pinConf>. Defines an event in absolute time. Either <relativeTime> or <absoluteTime> has to be defined.
If you want to use the power profiling service, define it in <powerProfilingConf>.
profConf * One or more blocks containing configuration for one power profile.
relativeTime * Subelement of <profConf>. Defines a power profile relative to the start time of the whole test. Either <relativeTime> or <absoluteTime> has to be defined.
absoluteTime * Subelement of <profConf>. Defines a power profile in absolute time. Either <relativeTime> or <absoluteTime> has to be defined.

On your marks, set, go!: The start of the 2017 Heart Foundation for Women-Jennian Homes Mother's Day fun run.
Mel Young, of Invercargill, and sister-in-law Rebecca Young, of Dunedin, warming up for the Mother's Day fun run.
About 500 people turned out to support the Heart Foundation for Women- Jennian Homes Mother's Day fun run at Thompson's Bush on Sunday, May 14.
Heart disease was the single biggest killer of New Zealand women, claiming the lives of more than 50 mothers, daughters, wives and sisters each week, Ms Mason said.
The Heart Foundation for Women is campaigning to encourage women to take charge of their heart health by eating healthy whole foods, exercising regularly, stopping smoking and, for women over 45, getting their hearts checked regularly by their GP.
