ГЕС Гранд-Рапідс () – гідроелектростанція у канадській провінції Манітоба. Знаходячись після ГЕС E.B. Campbell, становить нижній ступінь каскаду на річці Саскачеван, яка є однією з основних приток озера Вінніпег (річкою Нельсон дренується до Гудзонової затоки).

В межах проекті річку перекрили греблею, котра включає бетонну водопропускну структуру висотою 21 метр та довжиною 116 метрів і кам'яно-накидну ділянку. Разом з протяжними – 25,7 км – земляними дамбами вони утримують водосховище Cedar Lake з площею поверхні 1353 км2 та об'ємом 1115 млн м3, в якому припустиме коливання рівня  у операційному режимі між позначками 253,6 та 256,6 метра НРМ. Враховуючи розташування водойми на вапнякових породах, знадобилось спорудження по її периметру водонопроникної завісти глибиною до 61 метра з протяжністю 32 км, що потребувало 200 тисяч тонн цементу.

Обмежена дамбою частина сховища тягнеться по висотах лівобережжя понад долиною річки до розташованого за 4 км від греблі машинного залу. Останній обладнаний чотирма турбінами типу Каплан загальною потужністю 479 МВт – три по 123 МВт та одна з показником 111 МВт, котрі живляться через напірні водоводи довжиною по 69 метрів з діаметром по 8,9 метра. Використовуючи напір у 36,6 метра, це обладнання забезпечує виробництво 1540 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік.

Відпрацьована вода по відвідному каналу довжиною 0,9 км повертається у річку за 6,8 км по руслу від греблі.

Видача продукції відбувається по ЛЕП, що працюють під напругою 230 кВ.

Відпрацьована станцією вода невдовзі потрапляє в озеро Вінніпег, на дренуючій яке річці Нельсон створений свій каскад (ГЕС Jenpeg та інші).

Q: Parse CulterInfo to dll once I have a little application which has 1 GUI Form and 1 Class Library. Inside my Class Library I have a Class named "Settings". Settings has a String Property "CulterInfo".
This is code from GUI.frm (code 1)
Base.Settings.CultureInfo = "en-US";
ExceptionHandler.test(new EventArgs());

This is code from Base.dll (code 2)
static ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("Languages.Language", System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom("Languages.dll"));
static CultureInfo cul = new CultureInfo(Settings.CultureInfo);
public static void test(EventArgs e)
{
    ParseException(null, new ExceptionHandlerEventArgs() { ExceptionMessage = rm.GetString("exDefault", cul) });
}

And this is code for the "Settings" Class (code 3)
public class Settings
{
    private static string cultureInfo;
    public static string CultureInfo { get { return cultureInfo; } set { cultureInfo = value; } }
}

When I do like above, I get an error. The reason is because CulterInfo is actually still nothing tho I use Base.Settings.CultureInfo = "en-US";.
When I comment Base.Settings.CultureInfo = "en-US"; in code 1 and do private static string cultureInfo = "en-US"; in code 3 it's working.

So what my main problem is, I want to set the CultureInfo once for the dll I'm using, but this is not working like I hoped it would. Is there a better way to set the CultureInfo for a dll once, like at the startup of the application, and never have to bother about it anymore?

EDIT 1: Would working with a configfile solve this or are there more elegant solutions?

A: Your static CultureInfo cul = new CultureInfo(Settings.CultureInfo); is likely to be initialized before you update your Base.Settings.CultureInfo.
You can initialize the static CultureInfo with an InvariantCulture, and update it before using the dll
//Code 3
public class Settings
{
    private static CultureInfo culture = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
    public static CultureInfo Culture
    {
        get { return culture; }
        set { culture = value; }
    }

    public static void SetCulture(string name)
    {
        culture = new CultureInfo(name);
    }
}

//code 2
public class ExceptionHandler
{
    static ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("Languages.Language", System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom("Languages.dll"));

    public static void test(EventArgs e)
    {
        ParseException(null, new ExceptionHandlerEventArgs() { ExceptionMessage = rm.GetString("exDefault", Settings.Culture) });
    }
}

//code 1
/*Base.Settings.Culture = new CultureInfo("en-US");*/ //or...
Base.Settings.SetCulture("en-US");
ExceptionHandler.test(new EventArgs());

As part of the Federated identity feature, a configuration option was added to the Arvados API server to indicate which remote API servers are trusted to authenticate user IDs ('remote_hosts').
This allows for basic federated identity between a group of Arvados clusters. Each time the membership of the API server group changes (an API server is added or removed), every API server in the group needs to have its configuration updated. This is not ideal.
An Arvados API server can only be part of one federated identity group (aka 'federation').
A cluster registry service, which is managed centrally by the federation admin. All API servers in the federation sync the federation membership list from the registry service automatically.

Is 'human rights' the right approach for protecting the interests of forest-dependent people?
Posted By Mongabay on Feb 23, 2014 in Commentary, Forests
Commentary by Dr. Prakash Kashwan, University of Connecticut
Nature conservation is often promoted in the name of the greater good of humanity. However, in a large number of cases, nature conservation is associated with increased militarization of resource control (see the select bibliography below). International conservation organizations have responded to such concerns by developing proposals for what they refer to as 'rights-based approaches to conservation'. Some of the biggest conservation organizations have also come together to form the Conservation Initiative on Human Rights (CIHR), which is a consortium of international conservation NGOs that seek to improve the practice of conservation by promoting integration of human rights in conservation policy and practice. This editorial is intended to shed light on the effectiveness of the proposals and initiatives intended to protect the rights of indigenous and other forest-dependent people affected adversely by national and international programs for nature conservation.

The immediate trigger for this essay is a blog post by Professor Rosaleen Duffy of SOAS University of London. In the said blog, Dr. Duffy shares her reflections about the London Conference on Wildlife Trafficking. Concerned about the increasing militarization of wildlife conservation policy and advocacy, Dr. Dufy suggests,
"We are witnessing a greater call to arms to 'combat' and 'fight' poaching. More boots on the ground and more weaponry runs the risk of escalating a poaching war as each side gets locked into an arms race and an increasingly deadly conflict (for rangers and for hunters/poachers). It runs a second danger that local communities will get caught up in the war regardless, because of their proximity to heavily fortified protected areas."
Moreover, Dr. Duffy adds that "the Conservation Initiative on Human Rights was not mentioned at the conference at all", even though many of the organisations in 'United for Wildlife', the organization which hosted the conference, are signatories. While Dr. Duffy's focus is on the militarization side of the equation, her reflections should also make us pause and ponder over whether the rights-based approaches to conservation have served the lofty goals that international conservation organizations often espouse in the rights declarations issued from time to time. For the past decade or so, almost all major international conservation organizations have agreed on certain principles of "rights-based approaches" to conservation. The principles are discussed in about half a dozen reports published by international conservation groups and cited in the Kashwan paper cite below. These proposals draw upon international human rights discourse to advocate for the rights of 'indigenous communities' that project proponents must strive to protect during the implementation of conservation projects.
In the 'Land Use Policy' paper cited below, I have shown that while human rights discourse may be useful in drawing attention to the plight of local communities, and may even be helpful in justifying such rights for forest-dependent people, but they do not help us in dealing with the challenges on the ground. I have argued that the key challenge on the ground is to bring in some semblance of accountability of government agencies who continue to exert strong territorial control over territories set aside as state forests by the fiat of colonial and post-colonial governments. Governments own and control more than 86% of the world's forests, a percentage which is much higher in the developing countries. Government forestry agencies have continued to pursue programs and policies that are heavy on the discourses of participation, but devolve weak rights to local communities.
While the key argument that I make in the paper is to emphasize the importance of holding the state to account, a careful reading of the evidence presented in some of the works cited below would also show that international conservation-groups have not invested in the efforts to hold the state to account for two specific reasons. First, international conservation groups prefer centralized control of forests and wildlife areas because they believe that such control is instrumental to the promotion of effective nature conservation. Indeed, as Dr. Duffy commented in response to the comments on the Just Conservation blog, "Where states are engaged in repression, forced displacement, human rights abuses, etc. wildlife NGOs often stay silent." Second, and, perhaps more importantly, any efforts to hold the state to account are likely to draw attention to the accountability of international nature conservation groups. Dr. Duffy's reflections about the London meeting, and many other reports about the militarization of conservation published on this website and portals such as 'Just Conservation', should serve as a wakeup call.
In conclusion, it is important to assert that any questioning of the effectiveness of rights-based approaches in conservation should not be construed as an argument against the importance of either nature conservation or the rights of people who are affected most directly by international nature conservation. Indeed, the questions that I have raised above are borne out of a shared interest in achieving each of these important objectives. The argument is that we must ask some hard questions about the criteria that should be used in prioritizing the goals of nature conservation over the rights, in particular the land and livelihood rights, of forest-dependent people. Most importantly, in the interest of nature conservation and the fundamental rights of forest-dependent people, international conservation agencies will have to stand up to governments and government agencies that continue to work with the intention of maintaining territorial control at any cost. We should stop thinking instrumentally about rights. Instead, we should deliberate seriously about the social, cultural, political, and economic rights, which must be recognized as non-negotiable.

N.Ireland reopens schools, teachers' unions worried
Region's schools have been closed since March due to coronavirus pandemic
AVRUPA - officer, said that it was safe for children to return to school. He was backed by Northern Irish Education Minister Peter Weir, who said: "Schools are not unsafe places for children and they are not unsafe places for teachers either.
"Very, very few, if any, children will come to harm as a result of attending school, but there is evidence of the long-term harm to children's education, life opportunities, mental health and well-being from not attending school.
"There is clear unequivocal evidence that children are less likely to catch COVID-19, where they do most of them will have mild to moderate symptoms and in most cases they will make a very full recovery.
"There is a very, very low - indeed an incredibly low incidence - of serious disease within children and they are also less likely to transmit the virus."
Unions disagree, saying they have not been given enough time to fully implement the new guidelines issued by the Northern Irish government earlier this month.
The National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers, the largest teaching union in Northern Ireland, said the reopening could lead to a second wave of coronavirus infections by Halloween.
The Northern Irish government gave schools £42 million ($54.9 million) to fund the restarting of schools, with the money to be used for substitute teachers and personal protective equipment among other related needs.
"I fully recognise the stresses felt by teachers, parents and pupils due to the ongoing disruption and uncertainty regarding the future," Weir said.
"My key priority has always been to ensure all of our children and young people return to school on a full-time basis, as soon as it is safe to do so."

At length they found themselves at Milan, which at that time was one of the El Dorados for gamesters.
These were the El Dorados and lands of Goshen to which all respectable emigrants eagerly flocked.
Not one-fifth of America had been explored, and already two El Dorados had been found and conquered.
But concerning this part of the subject I have nothing to say, being no prophet of El Dorados.
After all, if imagination be our fellow-traveller, we might well discover El Dorados within easy reach of our own townships.

Computers in classrooms are a given in elementary schools across the nation. Now new technology initiatives are bringing computers into preschools, driven by the assumption that if children don't begin early, they fall behind. But is this really true? And are computers essential learning tools for very young minds? How do very young children learn, how do their brains develop, and does pointing, clicking and hyperlinking affect their neurological and social development? Early childhood education specialists weigh in on a government funded statewide program that aims to make toddlers computer literate. This program is part of our ongoing series on education and technology and is funded in part by the United States Department of Education.

Q: How to send Azure's custom voice model TTS request I trained and deployed a custom voice model at Azure with no problem. Yet I couldn't get the TTS request to work.
https://github.com/Azure-Samples/Cognitive-Speech-TTS/blob/master/Samples-Http/Python/TTSSample.py
is an example sending TTS request to standard models, not custom models.
According to
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-in/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/quickstart-python-text-to-speech,
the request body should be in plain text for custom model. I ended up doing something like:
response = requests.post(constructed_url, headers=headers, data='test 1')

in place of Line #65 in the python script, and delete all preceding request body specifications.
What I got is an error message:
Status code: 400
Something went wrong. Check your subscription key and headers.

The original python script with standard model worked just fine.
By the way, my resource is at south east asia; the language of my custom model is zh-cn.
