iBRIDGES is an annual convention for Iranian diaspora to meet with Iranian entrepreneurs and business people. The primary goal of the convention is to bridge the gap between the Iranian high-tech start-ups and the western investors. The discussions in this convention are intended to primarily focus on entrepreneurship opportunities in Iran's tech industry rather than its internal or foreign policies.

The 2014 convention in UC Brekeley attracted more than 700 Iranian high-tech executives and entrepreneurs. The 2015 convention in Berlin is called "the largest gathering of Iranians outside the country in more than three decades". It was held from June 4-6, 2015 at the new Berlin CityCube convention center. The event included 117 sessions with 163 speakers, and 1,040 registered participants from 35 countries. Dave McClure, one of 2015 attendees, counts the large population of Iran and its educated population as potential for startups in the country. The official final and detailed report of the iBridge Berlin was released by organizer in October 2015.

The convention is also implicitly aimed at bridging the gap in international relationship between Iran and western countries, especially at the time of diplomatic negotiations between Iran and western countries on Iran's nuclear program.

In linguistics and rhetoric, the historical present or historic present (also called dramatic present or narrative present) is the employment of the present tense when narrating past events. It is widely used in writing about history in Latin (where it is sometimes referred to by its Latin name, praesens historicum) and some modern European languages; in English it is used above all in historical chronicles (listing a series of events); it is also used in fiction, for "hot news" (as in headlines), and in everyday conversation (Huddleston & Pullum 2002: 129–131). In conversation, it is particularly common with "verbs of communication" such as tell, write, and say (and in colloquial uses, go) (Leech 2002: 7). "Historic present" is the form recognised by the Oxford English Dictionary, whereas "historical present" is the form in Merriam Webster.

More recently, analysts of its use in conversation have argued that it functions not by making an event present, but by marking segments of a narrative, foregrounding events (that is, signalling that one event is particularly important, relevant to others) and marking a shift to evaluation (Brinton 1992: 221).

Leucoperina is a genus of moths in the family Lymantriidae.
