Behold the 2002 Multiwagon, the little Euro van that does it all.
For absolutely no reason, it has a turbocharged, 200 horsepower 4 cylinder engine, with an AWD manual transmission. Yes, it is a sports car and powerful semi-off-roader all rolled into one.
It's 1.5 tons, or tonnes, whichever is the metric one - there are leaf springs in the rear (bad decisions time...), the top end of the engine is cast iron, I didn't make a record of how much this thing costs but it must be something stupid.
On the doors are plastic grilles that are basically fake vents. These are for wiping muddy boots on to get the dirt off! There is also another one on the rear hatch door for some reason.
It also has side running boards, plus some grab handles so if there's someone elderly or just unsteady on their feet they can hold on and have an easy step up. They would also be useful for if it was really slippery with mud or ice as you could hold on and have somewhere safe to stand up on. Alternatively you could just stand on the running board and hang onto the side of the car as it went along.
The rear doors open backwards so you can basically open the whole of the side of the car up, which would probably be useful in some way.
As well as the roof rack, there is a rear spoiler because with 200 bhp it has to have something sporty about it, oh and a big, massive, shiny exhaust pipe too.
On the rear the number plate is offset to make room for the all-important TURBO badge, plus a door handle for the boot lid. You may have also noticed the side door handles are absolutely massive. Other features are side mirrors with the indicator repeaters incorporated into them, plus a special little point on each corner that you can tie stuff like banners or flags to in case you're the head of a medieval battle reenactment society and need to tie your banners to something to hold them up at the village fair.
The car even has some normal features such as lights and wheels, but being the type of car it is it also has to have some seemingly pointless squiggly, orange graphics in several places all over it, just to go nicely with its metallic lime paint finish.
And it's not terribly huge either, so it can be a city car as well as a sports car, family car, off roader, car for old people, first car (2nd hand maybe), last car (8th hand maybe), and if you fold the seats flat a small van. You could probably sleep in it too, two in the back on the folded seats and one across the front two - the gear stick would fold flat or something so you could put a sleeping bag across. There's no tow hook on this one, but fit one and it'd tow trailers and caravans and stuff too.
The only car you'll ever need!
Governor Tomblin, Department of Commerce
Celebrate West Virginia's Top Exporters
Governor recognizes 37 West Virginia exporters,
announces STEP grant funding
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (August 24, 2016) - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, along with West Virginia Department of Commerce Secretary Keith Burdette, on Wednesday, August 24, 2016, awarded the International Market Entry Award to 37 companies from across the Mountain State. These awards honor West Virginia companies that successfully exported to a new country. In 2015, West Virginia companies exported more than $5.8 billion in products to more than 140 countries.
During the award presentation, Gov. Tomblin also announced that West Virginia has been once again selected by the U.S. Small Business Administration to receive funding through the State Trade and Export Promotion (STEP) grant initiative. These funds will support the West Virginia Development Office's export assistance program to help small businesses offset the costs of international business.
"Today we celebrate West Virginia companies that have proven our state can compete successfully in the global market. Exports are a vital tool for economic growth," Gov. Tomblin said. "These businesses are an asset to our state as we continue to grow our business landscape and diversify West Virginia's economy. I always look forward to this opportunity to recognize their successes."
The Governor's Commendation for International Market Entry Awards honor companies that have successfully exported to a new country in the previous year. Each company receives a framed piece of currency from each new country to which the business began exporting. The presentation is based on the tradition of displaying the first dollar a business earns.
Companies receiving the Governor's Commendation for the first time this year are Probe America in Beckley, Mountain State Hardwoods in Bancroft, and Mountaineer Brand in Shepherdstown. In a special presentation, Wheeling Truck Center received its 100th export award. Since making their first export sale in 2010, the company has exported to more than 100 countries.
The West Virginia Development Office International Division helps small- to medium-sized West Virginia businesses enter new foreign markets. For more information on export development services offered by the state, visit www.worldtradewv.org.

Testing software projects manually may require great deal of time and lots of effort. The amount of resources required is also more, because of the same or similar test cases needed to be rerun frequently. However, sometimes it may not be feasible to rerun the test cases to the desired extent because of the shortage of time. In such cases automation testing should be done. Automation testing reduces testing cycle time, drives greater predictability, provides higher productivity and hence helps to minimize time to market.

At a visit to the Cadbury's Factory in Birmingham (www.cadburyworld.co.uk), we saw the robots at work stacking pallets. Unfortunately, this robot dropped a box at the beginning of the pallet, and was unable to see the growing disaster of boxes spilling around. Eventually the pallet jammed as it attempted to walk off somewhere, and a bloke came and sorted it all out. More broken bits for the clearance shop, and relief that other people's automation goes wrong sometimes too...

More than 700,000 Multiple Launch Rocket System submunitions have been demilitarized since the Army started using an automated nine-robot system conceptualized, built and programmed by Sandia engineers.
“This is by far the most complex, automated robotic demilitarization system that Sandia has built in the last 20 years,” said computer scientist Bill Prentice, Sandia software lead for the project. “This is exactly the kind of thing to use robotics for — to get humans out of harm’s way. Let the automation of robots do what they do well, and have humans make advanced decisions on safety.”

This is a car, called the TRS Ninja, which I made for so far the only Automation/BeamNG competition I've entered. You might think that it was a pretty straightforward affair since once the car is done it's done... right?
Wrong. Once exported to BeamNG, half the parts had a fuzzy white outline around them which I couldn't get rid of because that was the newest glitch that had decided to occur between the two games that week (with every Automation or Beam update something new breaks, this time it was fixture edges and tail lights). I had to live with that as I had no choice, BUT when imported back into Automation the body morphs would reset and some of the details and figures would change, meaning it was no longer within the parameters of the challenge it was made for.
After a long and annoying process of importing, exporting, making copies of cars in Automation and in BeamNG's mod folder I got a car that, once exported to Beam and then imported back into Automation retained its body mouldings and the performance figures had changed a fraction, but were still within what they needed to be. So that's what I had in the end, but I will not be impressed if the car that makes it into the challenge breaks itself upon importing to Automation.
For the actual car, all I can remember is it's a 4 cylinder turbo front wheel drive! But as you can see, it has all the important features like pop-up headlights, an intercooler and yellow pin-striping around the edges of the wheel rims. It's got brakes too, and door handles, and a differential which I think is of the limited slip variety. Flat out it does somewhere in the region of 120mph.
What you can't see in this photo is that the arrow above the door is rotating up and down

The 'Browne' issue system in a Gloucestershire library in 1991, about to be replaced by the new computer based system (CIRCO from BLCMP). The 'Browne' issue system was the traditional card-based charging system in which a card was transferred from the book to a pocket containing the reader's name. The tickets were then filed in order and retained until the book was returned - a very labour intensive system.

Robotic process automation (RPA) is the use of software package with AI (AI) and machine learning capabilities to handle high-volume, repeatable tasks that previously needed humans to perform. These tasks will embody queries, calculations and maintenance of records and transactions.
RPA software isn’t a part of an organization’s IT infrastructure. Instead, it sits on top of it, enabling a corporation to implement the technology quickly and with efficiency — all while not changing the existing infrastructure and systems.
