Go for it presentation for Chinese delegation - May 2009Matthew Lloyd
This document outlines a digital inclusion project run by Age Concern Neath Port Talbot that aims to help older residents over 50 learn computer and technology skills. The project is delivered through volunteers at community venues and focuses on the benefits of technology, such as staying connected to family. It was created to address the digital exclusion of local older people as services increasingly move online. Over two years, the project provided over 1,000 one-on-one tutoring sessions, helped establish community computer groups, and trained volunteers, with participants reporting increased confidence with technology and feeling less isolated.
This document promotes a guide for building your own solar panels to save money compared to retail costs. It suggests solar installations from retailers can take 30 years to pay back and cost over $20,000, while a do-it-yourself kit is available for clicking a link. The guide also describes how to start a profitable small business making solar panels at home for $200 each and selling them for $500, allowing profits of up to $1500 per week with practice. Purchasing the kit provides rights to build and resell solar panels without fees.
Climateweek was held in New York City in September 2009 as part of the Clinton Global Initiative. The week included events like a TckTckTck wake up call in Central Park, the launch of the Global Observatory by Bill Clinton, and meetings with leaders like Rajendra Pachauri and Mary Robinson to discuss public and private approaches to health and sustainability issues.
The Grid Observatory aims to digitally curate behavioral data from grids like EGEE/EGI through collection, preservation, indexing and querying of continuous and exhaustive datasets. This data will be used for scientific and engineering purposes. It also aims to develop statistical and machine learning models and optimization techniques to model and optimize complex systems, which can then be applied to tasks like dimensioning and autonomics. The Grid Observatory is a collaborative effort between research institutions in France and the UK, supported by various research programs and initiatives. It collects grid data through scripts that anonymize and upload the data to its portal for public access without needing a grid certificate. The portal has seen increasing usage and impact since its launch in 2008.
Engineering Express - Hurricane Sandy Damage in Mantoloking, NJTroy Bishop
As a storm damage inspector, I was called in to assist with evaluating causation for structures damaged from Hurricane Sandy. What I saw was jaw-dropping. Homes slid off foundations and completely destroyed. The presentation has pictures of the damage, as well as information about how we are able to manage the inflow of data.
National Observatory of Crime in Transports, by Fabrice FussyStefania Torquati
The document discusses the National Observatory of Crime in Transports (ONDT) in France. ONDT aims to analyze crime in public transportation, strengthen public policy to fight transport crime, and support transport authorities. It does this through three poles: 1) A statistics and data center that collects and analyzes reported crime data; 2) A research and analysis pole that investigates crime contexts and victimization; 3) An animation of public policy pole that develops prevention methods and follows national crime prevention plans. The overall goal is to better understand transport crime and identify prevention measures through data collection, analysis, and coordination of stakeholders.
Cherry Rivets Manufactured by AeroBase Group Inc.umangp23
Cherry Rivets has been manufacturing rivets for the aerospace industry since 1940 and is now a leading global manufacturer of aerospace fasteners. They produce many styles of rivets, including blind rivets that can be installed from one side, which are used on areas of aircraft with limited access. The document provides a list of common Cherry Rivet part numbers and describes their CherryMAX line of locked spindle blind rivets that have a visible inspection point to check for proper installation and eliminate issues from worn tools.

Bonhams Auction House Consults On E. Charlton Fortune On Condition And Restor...umangp23
An oil painting from 1918 by E. Charlton Fortune was brought to Bonhams auction house and art appraisers. They consulted with an art conservation laboratory to determine the painting's attribution, condition, appropriate treatment, and estimated value. The painting was in good overall condition though it had some prior repairs, overpainting, and grime. After cleaning, varnishing, and refining an earlier repair, the painting's original colors were restored and it was expected to sell at a higher price. The consultation provided due diligence for collectors on evaluating paintings prior to purchase.
Infrared to Helps Art Collectors Find Lost Signaturesumangp23
Infrared technology can help art collectors find hidden details in paintings, such as signatures or sketches beneath layers of paint. Specifically, an infrared reflectometer can detect these hidden features without damaging the artwork. One example is an ongoing search for Leonardo da Vinci's lost fresco "The Battle of Anghiari", which may be hidden under another painter's work. Similarly, infrared examination has revealed hidden signatures, drawings, and inscriptions in other artworks.

Remains of old labels on paintings can provide valuable information for art collectors. This document describes how infrared technology was used to read obscured writing on an old label from a painting, revealing it was from an exhibition in 1861. Because of this newly discovered history, the painting significantly increased in value. The lesson is to protect old labels, as the historical information they contain can enhance the artwork's importance and price. Simple methods like deacidifying and encapsulating fragments can preserve these important clues from the past.
Protecting Your Collectibles In Case Of An Earthquakeumangp23
The document provides 7 tips for protecting collectibles and valuables during an earthquake:
1) Check that wall-mounted artwork is securely hung to prevent damage if it falls.
2) Secure items on shelves with museum wax to prevent shifting and toppling.
3) Keep important photographs and documents together in an easy to grab container for quick removal in an emergency.
4) Store valuables away from water pipes to prevent damage from plumbing issues caused by quakes.
