Jaguara was a village built in the early 70s, which was occupied by engineers, mechanics and operators of the Jaguara Hydroelectric Plant, belonging to the Power Complex of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais (Cemig), Brazil. The village, in military style from the late 60's, was operated with the joint administration of their 140 families and a representative of the company, usually the chief engineer. Here had primary school, fire brigade, two banking office, a market, butcher shop, video store, post office, a temple of the Catholic Church in pyramid shape, two soccer fields, a sports club and a huge social hall, airport, 24 hours clinic, dentist, a hotel on the edge of river, forest with serpentarium ... Finally, a village with everything needed to operate with self-sufficiency.
Around the beginning of the 90s the company Cemig computerized, interconnected and centralized its entire operation based in the city of Belo Horizonte, capital of Minas Gerais. After a retirement program and relocation of skilled manpower to other bases or nearby cities in 4 years it has become a small ghost town. A few years ago the company sold the villa to the private sector of tourism and all former residents - myself included - still hope one day to see our old home restored and social life again.

Aproximadamente no início da década de 90 a companhia CEMIG informatizou, interligou e centralizou toda a operação em sua base na cidade de Belo Horizonte, capital de Minas Gerais. Após um programa de aposentadoria e relocação de mão-de-obra para outras bases ou cidades próximas, em 4 anos ela se tornou uma pequena cidade fantasma. Há poucos anos a companhia vendeu a vila para o setor privado do turismo e todos os antigos moradores - eu incluído - esperam um dia ainda ver nosso antigo lar restaurado e com vida social novamente.

Someone I worked with who was an A&P veteran gave me some of these old A&P IBM order cards, they were from A&P's first computerized ordering system begun around 1970. He couldn't remember how they filled them out but that each page in an order book corresponded to a card and the completed cards were sent to a processing center. He said store 59 was either Westfield Ave. Moorestown or the first Marlton A&P.

The steam clock cost double and took two years longer to build than initial estimates. After the unveiling of the clock, it continued to face many problems such as its deafening noise, vandalism, car crashes, off-key chimes, and its inability to keep accurate time. Ultimately the back-up electric motor became the clock’s main driving force and a computerized tune-keeper was added, but these modifications do not seem to have diminished its status as a Gastown icon.

This is a rare tumor. The feature that makes it rare is its localization on the surface of a bone. It can invade the cortex and even medulla. Histology is similar to conventional osteosarcoma, which involves the medulla of the bone. This example was entirely osteoblastic on the biopsy samples. The treatment options are the same since this lesion behaves the same as the conventional one.

September 28, 2014, we joined with a group of some 30 other Old Cemeteries Society of Victoria (OCSV) enthusiasts to learn about Pioneer Farmers of Saanich, BC, from OCSV President, Dr. Sylvia Van Kirk.. More than a century ago farming was a major activity in Gordon Head, the Saanich Peninsula and other outlying areas. Today’s first-time tour will visit graves of pioneer farmers and those connected with them.
The OCSV is dedicated to researching, preserving and encouraging the appreciation of Victoria's heritage cemeteries. Their members are involved in many volunteer activities, mainly at Ross Bay Cemetery (RBC). Cataloging, cleaning and restoring monuments, computerizing burial records, combating vandalism, conducting historical research and giving walking, history tours.
Dr. van Kirk included our family gravesite in her RBC tour and we have today's photo-to-prove-it. Thank you on behalf of the Irvine Family Genealogical Group (IFGG) to the OSCV for powerwashing the Laing/Irvine burial plot which has been here for over 132 years.
John and Jessie Irvine's granddaughter, Elizabeth Jessie Laing, died March 24, 1882 (at age 6yrs4mon.) and was buried in the plot initially purchased for the grandparents. John Irvine was interred here in 1906 and his wife, Jessie, the following year. Hence, Laing/Irvine burial plot.

April 2010 Rubber Stamp Chat Challenge
This was my entry for the Viva Las Vegas Stamp challenge in April using only VLV Stamps.
Lucky me I was a winner with this fun cowboy scene!!!
I just loved this bath time cowboy by VLV stamps soooo much that I could not resist using him in the challenge. This scene was created using a combination of rubber stamps, computerized clip art, decorative paper and photography. The floor and ceiling beams are computerized graphics I created myself. I used some scrapbook paper that looked like stucco to create the walls and the sunset in the windows is a photograph of a real sunset. I then glued on some string twine just for some added fun once I had it all elements cut colored and put together.
All the rubber stamped images are by Viva Las Vegas Stamps:

Bangladesh Railway (BR) started its journey in this portion of the sub-continent 142 years ago. Historically Bangladesh owned the Railway network, which was a part of the sub-continent. BR has recently introduced train related information using IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system through Mobile Phone and has taken initiative for computerization of pay roll, asset management, accounting, inventory control etc. which are the steps towards the implementation of Digital Bangladesh.
In Bangladesh, due to the huge population in the country, an inadequate number of seats on the local trains, and punishing poverty, some people are forced to borrow a ride now and then. Some are so poor that they cant buy ticket even. They ride on the roof top as well as between the carriages of Train or seat in floor between two carriages, canteen, beside door area every where.

Times Square, New York City, New Years Eve Ball Drop, 2013 - 2014
The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.
The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar "drops" held locally in other cities and towns around the world.

Homographies is an interactive installation featuring robotic fluorescent light fixtures controlled by computerized surveillance systems. As people walk under the piece, the light tubes rotate to create labyrinthine patterns of light that are "paths" or "corridors" between them. In Homographies the "vanishing point" is not architectural, but rather connective, as it is determined by who is there at any given time and varies accordingly. This gives a reconfigurable light-space that is based on flow, on motion, on lines of sight.
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer was born in Mexico City in 1967. He received a B.Sc. in Physical Chemistry from Concordia University in Montréal, Canada, where he now lives and works. Lozano-Hemmer’s interactive installations have been featured internationally in museums and at biennials and he has been selected to represent Mexico at the 2007 Venice Biennale.

Maps had to be made and all roads marked for a more reliable system for ambulance drivers. In past years, people from the area relied on landmarks and older buildings for directions. In regard to ever expanding 911 services and fire stations, directions and map books paved the way for quicker response times. There were no regulations on how long it took an ambulance to respond to a call. With advancements in medical research, it has become very import to get to patients with significant cardiac events, stokes, and trauma in record time. Only taking approx 4 to 6 min for the brain to become damaged by lack of oxygen, you can see my point. The state of Georgia implemented a response time of 10 min to an emergency call. For ages 1-35, Trauma is the leading cause of death. The service I work for has a contract with the county to retain certain criteria for response times. Our service has also built outer lying sub stations in order to decrease our response times for the county. Global tracking System is an enhanced systems that tracks all the ambulances and their routes. Our dispatcher monitors the GPS and that allows the dispatcher to pick the closest appropriate unit when emergency calls come in. This has been instrumental in lowering our response times and increasing the survivability of our patients. Our service produces response time reports over a monthly basis. After the implementation of the gps system and computer aided drafting dispatch systems we have shown a slight decrease in responding time. Our time has cut down by 1-2 minutes. A study was done is Mississippi in 1994. Paramedics would carry a back pack that contained a satellite transceiver and a large folding antenna. They would be able communicate with the hospitals via a advanced communications satellite (ACTS) that NASA has put in place in the early 60’s to 70’s. The outcome was grim. The lengthy time and bulk deemed it inappropriate for EMS use. Our service is fixing to change GPS systems. Verizon wireless has offered our service a plan in which cell phones will relay location information to a computer in dispatch and update the ambulance location every thirty seconds. The cell phones will also give all ambulances step by step directions via handheld navigation. With the ever increasing satellites and new technology out, modern emergency services will continue to see improvement
