Global Innovation Council is leading the way for governments of the future
We do this by co-creating solutions that showcase how the future of governance should look like.
Challenges that societies are facing during the next few decades are significant, requiring governments to effectively lead societies towards desirable outcomes.
Despite many promising innovations in different pockets of governments, the core activities of governments remain, however, unchanged.
The mission of the Global Innovation Council is to imagine and set in motion the future of government innovation.
Today, we're facing strong external factors that force transformation upon us, such as carbon emissions that we have inherited from our industrial societies. The crisis caused by the outbreak of Covid-19 has made the necessity for transformation visible for everyone. Governments were not ready. And still, governments were the ones that everyone turned towards in the times of crisis.
The industrial era gave us innovations of governance such as parliamentary democracy or separation of powers. They have been instrumental in guiding us through the industrial era challenges. Today, we have 10-15 years left to define which are the new innovations that enable setting up a new system of governance. The climate crisis alone is setting boundaries that cannot be exceeded.
The speed of development has never been as fast as today. Governments need to stay on track with the pace of change in the rest of the society. We need a global platform for accelerating the development of governance. A body that collects knowledge about new practices of governance, that invites governments to join and learn together, and most importantly, initiates pilots that can reshape how we think about governance.
This is our mandate. We hope to share the current best learnings and get the rest of you onboard.
Global Innovation Council – the most radical way to build the future of public governance
The Council narrates the future of public governance. We create consensus about change and accelerate collaborative learning.
Initiating
The Council brings best experts in the world to turn ideas into reality. We test breakthrough practices with governments.
The Council unites governments around the world to build the governance that is needed in the post-industrial era. No one can build the future of government alone.

What Kind Of Governments Will Arise From The Pandemic?
All eyes have been on governments since the outbreak of covid19. Actions taken by governments play a significant role in how societies survive the peak of the virus and how quickly they reopen. But what kind of governments will emerge as a result of the pandemic?

Pitching Angel investors can be a challenge. They want a lot of information, but you don't have nearly enough time to give them what they want. We explain what is going on and give you six ways to inspire investors to act.
If you ask 100 angel investors what they want to see in a pitch, you will get 100 answers. The primary reason for this? They don't know.
Before Angels invest, they will all want to see details like your numbers and make sure you have a viable business concept – one they believe will make a lot of money.
Investors will want to know your plan in great detail, what you bring to the business, your credentials, and history.
They will want to know that you will stick with it and make the business work through all of the craziness and long hours involved in launching a successful business.
They will want to see management skills and the ability to pivot when necessary.
They will want you to prove to them you are worthy of their hard-earned money. After all, investors are putting money behind you in the hopes of getting a good return.
They know what they want to see in your business and they know what running a business takes.
Investors would love to know all of this in the first few minutes after they meet you. But, that is impossible, communicating everything investors need to know takes hours.
But you only have 6-to-10-minutes to pitch.
You can't fit everything into this time frame.
You will be hard pressed to fit that into a two-hour deep dive (which is why due diligence takes so long).
If you try to put everything into your pitch, you end up with a long list of data that nobody can understand. Remember you only have about 8 seconds to pique their interest.
Also, keep in mind that investors are not interested in you or what you do. Their lack of interest sounds paradoxical, but remember that they are interested in themselves and how they will make money. You are just showing them how you will help them do this.
If you end up taking everybody's advice and answering all of their questions in your pitch, it will be terrible. Your presentation will be so full of data and information that nobody will pay attention, and nobody will remember.
Even though you just told them what they said they wanted to hear.
At the Westchester Angels, we had a company present us with an idea for wind turbines. The idea was attractive to a few of our investors, but the pitch was a disaster. The pitch was slide after slide of data and information that none of us could digest.
At the end of the pitch, there was not one person interested in learning more about this business or working with the entrepreneur.
When we advised the CEO on his pitch and how to improve it we told him to simplify it and create a story that investors could follow. He explained that he couldn't because he had to answer "prophylactically" the questions that would come up.
Not many investors use that phrase, but almost all of them try to do the same thing: answer every question that might ever come up. Even if you have every answer, providing them up front will turn investors off.
This is true even though investors may tell you they want every answer.
So how are some people able to get funded?
The first step is to create a pitch for investors that connects.
And therein lies the clue to connecting with investors: they want to be the hero.
They won't ever use this language, by the way, but ths is what they want. When they are listening to an 8-minute pitch, they are looking for the numbers, evidence and a great idea. But, mostly they are looking for a spark of confidence that you are the next great entrepreneur.
Stories engage and the best pitches tell a story with a compelling market challenge, a great solution, and a clear pathway to making money.
They inspire investors with the opportunity.
The key word is: inspire.
Good pitches don't inform or bombard with facts, they inspire.
Skillfully investor presentations connect to something internal, a feeling. So, don't spend all of your time talking about your product – investors are there to make money not look at prototypes.
The most spectacular investment pitches give the investors a story that is so good the investors can't help telling their friends.
So, to create the perfect investor pitch focus on inspiring your audience, this will initiate the growing snowball of interest that funds a startup.
Make your pitch about the investor.
Remember the investor cares about him or her self, not you. So focus your pitch on what they gain and how.
Contrast is a very useful tool for inspiring investors with what could be and instilling a bit of fear of missing out. Show what life is like before and after what you do. Show pictures of success versus failure.
This part of the brain can't deal with abstraction; so get tangible. You have to make your offering simple and easy to understand. Even your language must be tangible and easy to understand. Your concepts are complicated enough so your language must be something a fourth grader can understand.
These are the two most powerful parts of your presentation. So have a great beginning and a great ending. Almost always, probably 99.9% of the pitches I have seen, the conclusion is lousy. It is mostly a rush to get to the end before the time runs out. Leave yourself time end on a powerful high note that begs for more.
The optical nerve feeds right into the reptilian brain; this is a direct line to inspiration. So use it. Get visual.
Finally, the reptilian brain is emotional rather than rational. So appeal here to emotions. Be careful here because this is easy to overdo in investor decks. You don't want to be unprofessional. But you do want at least a hint of emotion, fear of missing out, excitement, opportunity. Investors may be cold-hearted business people, but they still have a brain.
You should not take this as a trivialization of the detail and information that investors will want to have before they invest. Investors know what they are looking for and they will want every question answered before they invest.
However, the pitch is not the place to do this. Even investors don't realize this most of the time. The pitch is where you drive interest so that the investors will ask the questions they need to ask to eventually invest.
So, in your pitch inspire. Later, you can inform.


Black-capped chickadee: Note the white on the wings, ragged "bib" edge, and relatively buffy sides.
Two chickadee species live in our state, and they are sometimes hard to tell apart. In both, the adults have gray upperparts, with a black cap and white cheeks. The underparts are white, the sides buffy, and the throat and upper breast are black.
The Carolina chickadee (generally found in southern Missouri) has the wing coverts gray, not white. The lower edge of the black bib is more sharply defined than in the black-capped chickadee, and the sides and flanks of winter adults are gray and much less buffy, as well. The song is a 4-note phrase with the first and third notes higher than the second and fourth: "fee-bee fee-bay." The "chick-a-dee-dee-dee" call is noticeably faster than the black-capped's.
Length: 5¼ inches (black-capped); 4¾ inches (Carolina).
Common permanent residents in forests, woodlands, forest edges, parks, and most areas with trees with decaying sections where nesting cavities can be excavated. They are a common and distinctive backyard bird, one of the first types that people learn to identify.
Chickadees forage for insects, spiders, seeds, acorns, and berries. They are commonly seen at birdfeeders and suet. The famous conservationist Aldo Leopold noticed that the chickadees in his forest "investigate every loud noise." He explained that for chickadees, nature's "dinner bell" was the crash of falling old trees full of thousands of insect eggs and pupae to be eaten.
Black-capped: generally found in northern Missouri, occasionally moving southward in winter. Carolina: generally found in southern Missouri, seldom wandering north of their range. Where the ranges overlap, the birds sometimes hybridize and sing intermediate songs, making identification difficult.
There is one brood a year. Nest cavities are about 8 inches deep and are excavated by both the male and female in rotting trees. Chickadees may also nest in bird boxes or old woodpecker cavities. The female builds the cup-shaped nest, lined with soft animal hair and plant fibers, on a foundation of coarser materials. Eggs are incubated for usually less than two weeks before hatching, and in another two weeks the young are fledged. In winter, chickadees travel in flocks with other species.
Chickadees commonly join with titmice, nuthatches, and woodpeckers in winter foraging flocks. They use their tweezerlike bills to pick insect and spider eggs and pupae from crevices in tree bark. Chickadees and their eggs and young are preyed upon by other predators, including snakes, cats, blue jays, accipiter hawks, and more.

'Not a Priority': Norway Misses US, UK Drill Off Its Arctic Coast
© Sputnik / Denis Petrov

https://sputniknews.com/military/202005051079198948-not-a-priority-norway-misses-us-uk-drill-off-its-arctic-coast/
According to a Norwegian security analyst, there is no political message behind the 1,200 strong drill, as it is neither uncommon for the British to practice in the Norwegian Sea, nor for allies to join.
The US and British naval forces are holding large-scale drills along the Norwegian coast, without Norway being involved, national Norwegian broadcaster NRK reported.
Over 1,200 British and US Navy soldiers are currently involved in an exercise north of the Arctic Circle.
Starting from 1 May, they conducted drills in the Norwegian Sea, aimed at training defence against submarine attacks. A total of four ships from the two nations work together with a US submarine and a US P8-A surveillance aircraft.
In the words of Vice Admiral Lisa Franchetti, commander of the US 6th Fleet, the US must be prepared "to operate across all mission sets, even in the most unforgiving environments". This, she mused, is especially critical in the Arctic, where the "austere weather environment" demands "constant vigilance and practice".
On Monday 4 May, the fleet moved to the Barents Sea for further training. It is the first time since the 1980s that US warships have sailed this far north.
Lisa Franchetti justified further exercises, citing the need to maintain the safety and stability of the Arctic.
However, despite the drill taking place off the Norwegian coast and involving the nation's allies, Norway itself has not been involved in the exercise.
Barely two weeks ago, Defence Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen presented the proposal for a new long-term plan for the Armed Forces. In this connection, he stressed that the Norwegian Armed Forces must be visible in the north.
"If not, our allies or others can strengthen the openings we leave behind. Such a development could have negative consequences for our stability, and Norway could have less impact on the security of our own neighbourhood", Bakke-Jensen said.
This time, Bakke-Jensen reiterated the need to participate in drills outside Norway, but stressed that it was "not a priority" in this case.
"The maritime activity in progress is a display of great power rivalry, and the Americans and British have communicated openly with the Russians that the drill is an expression of the freedom of navigation, which also applies in the North", the defence minister said.

By contrast, Karsten Friis, a senior researcher at the Norwegian Foreign Policy Institute (NUPI), doesn't believe the drill sends any special political signal.
"It is not uncommon for the British to practice in the southern Norwegian Sea. Nor is it uncommon for allies to join, but Norway is not always one of them. Therefore, there are no political signals here", Friis said.
What is uncommon, according to Friis, however, is that the US is using vessels usually stationed in the Mediterranean. This, according to Friis, "signals military flexibility".
For the drill, two Arleigh Burke-class Aegis destroyers, the USS Donald Cook and the USS Porter, and a fast combat support ship, the USNS Supply T-AOE 6, were joined by the HMS Kent.

In one of her talk sessions during the Faiz International Festival Mahira Khan said that she'd love to star in an Iranian film.
She further added that there are certain expressions and mannerisms that are unique to each language and when one speaks that language only then an actor can truly portray such characters.
The rumors of Mahira Khan opting for Hollywood made headlines earlier this month and now this, looks like the Raees starlet is planning on working all around the globe.

Congratulations and a Reminder
Kail Padgitt
Congratulations to President Obama on winning the Nobel Prize this morning. As a friendly reminder from the Tax Foundation, the Nobel Prize counts as income. So Mr. President, please do not forget to file this on your tax return.
The IRS states:
Pulitzer, Nobel, and similar prizes. If you were awarded a prize in recognition of accomplishments in religious, charitable, scientific, artistic, educational, literary, or civic fields, you generally must include the value of the prize in your income. However, you do not include this prize in your income if you meet all of the following requirements.
1. You were selected without any action on your part to enter the contest or proceeding.
2. You are not required to perform substantial future services as a condition for receiving the prize or award.
3. The prize or award is transferred by the payer directly to a governmental unit or tax-exempt charitable organization as designated by you. The following conditions apply to the transfer.
a. You cannot use the prize or award before it is transferred.
b. You should provide the designation before the prize or award is presented to prevent a disqualifying use. The designation should contain:
i. The purpose of the designation by making a reference to section 74(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code,
ii. A description of the prize or award,
iii. The name and address of the organization to receive the prize or award,
iv. Your name, address, and taxpayer identification number, and
v. Your signature and the date signed.
c. In the case of an unexpected presentation, you must return the prize or award before using it (or spending, depositing, investing it, etc., in the case of money) and then prepare the statement as described in (b).
d. After the transfer, you should receive from the payer a written response stating when and to whom the designated amounts were transferred.
These rules do not apply to scholarship or fellowship awards. See Scholarships and fellowships, later.
Mr. President, if you are ethically unable to accept the prize money, I would also like to remind you that the Tax Foundation is a 501 (C)(3) and your contribution would be deductible.

This thread is for the discussion and research of the level TO "Town" or IT "InGen Town"
Here are various screenshots of locations inside the town. It makes sense that there would be more complex things and lots of foliage and terrain detail in earlier versions of the TO level because Plains was planned to be a separate level entirely, giving the TO level extra breathing room in regards to resources. Here are pre-release images of the town area to use as a reference when building the level and also to discuss theories about.

Same as above, except the camera is on the other side of the road.
Behind the diner, the gas station is on the left while the operations center is on the right behind the fences.

I wonder when they decided against the the school and the fields behind it. Having those areas would actually be quite interesting, could fit into the area to the East, taking out or moving the area of construction and extending the road coverage, if it were to be put in.
Maybe the puzzle involving it was too long, and the school no longer served much purpose.
The attic of the store would also seem a welcome return, its such a minor area, while adding to exploring vertically a bit more. Have some junk to chuck out the window at raptors.
Town probably needs less of any major changes, though personally, having a little bit more complex puzzle(s) to extend the stay in the town would be ideal. A few more little things to explore. The generator could be powered up to provide power to open the gates and other things, before you can really commence with getting past security. The gun room in ops could perhaps also be locked and part of a separate puzzle to get some good guns, though optional (perhaps a code that needs to be input at the main security room, or an override key etc.
And for the entry points, they would be good to see the gate, fallen tree and sewage pipe. The sewage system could be extended slightly, and be just like in the walkthrough. Area could be fenced off so it looks like more than a concrete pit, something a bit more functional. Debris, and water could just sit in the bottom for the player to wade through before heading up some steps to the ground.
There wasn't probably any school building ever made. At least they never put it in-game. That's information from the dev who did most work in the town.
Tatu, I like this idea of having more puzzles in IT/TO. We should brainstorm that, though maybe not here if we want it to be a surprise for others.
One thing - I know you've said you want to make IT not have any dinosaurs in it, to just be a puzzle level. But it seems there was to be a raptor nest in the church - would you mind having maybe one raptor outside, with some baby raptors in the hole in the floor?
Also I think we could try moving some keycards around since we are so used to the original progression.
But it seems there was to be a raptor nest in the church - would you mind having maybe one raptor outside, with some baby raptors in the hole in the floor?
Make sence. Shouldn't make the level more laggy. Sure!
Agreed. I already made so you need the passcode from the VO to exit to the plains.


Why have I been accused of plagiarism?
The marker of your work or the exam invigilator has identified a cause of concern, most commonly related to the way you have referenced.
The marker and your department's 'Academic Integrity Officer' want to discuss their concerns with you and give you the chance to explain.
The meeting that you have been invited to is the first stage in the academic integrity process. This discussion is an opportunity for academics to raise the areas of concern with you, and equally, for you to explain how you put your piece of work together.
You can be accompanied by a friend or member of the Students' Union Advice team if you wish.
Read the University Regulations for Academic Integrity. This explains the different stages of the process and what the outcomes of the interview can be.
These can be found on here.
Remember that you have to be honest with the University.
Read through your Turnitin report and try to think where the problem might be.
At the meeting you will be asked to explain how you produced your work so look back at sources you used and gather any notes or draft versions you have for the piece of work to be discussed.
What can the outcome be?
There is no case to be heard and so your work is marked as normal.
Your work contains areas of poor academic practice but can be marked as normal – it is likely that you will receive recommendations to seek support with your academic writing alongside this.
That your work may be the product of academic misconduct and so will be referred to an academic misconduct panel. Read more about Academic Misconduct Panels here.

Q: Parsing error in index.js I am trying to use react hot loader. I am getting an error while I run "npm start" command in terminal. Can some please tell me what is the problem. I am struggling for having react hot loader working but not getting launched anything in browser.

}

A: Usually when I get an error like this it is due to not being able to transpile the jsx. in your case i believe it is because you are not using the babel-loader to accomplish it. Additionally if you want to use presents you need to include them as a query parameter to the babel-loader. I also like to exclude the node-modules to reduce the time for transpilation.
{
  loader: 'babel-loader',
  query: {
     presets:['es2015','react','stage-0'] // Babel presets, I use stage-0
  },
  test: /\.js$/,
  exclude: /node_modules/,
}

OW Bunker has announced that it has reduced global claims1 on physical products to 0.9% for Q1 2014. This is down from an average of 1.6% in 2013.
The company set a target of reducing global claims to below 1% when it introduced its own Global Quality Standard (GQS) at the end of 2012 to ensure the quality of products supplied by its physical operations on a global basis. As part of the GQS, customers are provided with a specification analysis on physical product orders that is delivered prior to the usual testing procedures conducted by an external fuel oil analysis provider. This ensures complete transparency in the physical distribution process.

Section 128.21 (a.k.a. Chapter 128 Debt Repayment or Amortization) of the Wisconsin Statutes has been provided to Wisconsin residents as a way to fully repay unsecured debts over 36 months with freedom from wage garnishment by included creditors and without continued contractual interest. Section 128.21 of the Wisconsin Statutes is commonly referred to as a "Chapter 128" or "wage earner repayment plan" and requires regular wages or another consistent form of income which will continue for at least 36 months and which is sufficient to fund the Chapter 128 plan with enough leftover to accommodate all other living expenses and debts not included in the Chapter 128 repayment plan.
Chapter 128 is NOT a Bankruptcy and will not appear on your Credit Bureau Reports as a Bankruptcy.
Since Chapter 128 is not a bankruptcy, you are not required to disclose and exempt all of your assets.
Chapter 128 allows you to select which unsecured creditor(s) to include (while Bankruptcy requires all creditors to be listed and notified).
The Chapter 128 is filed in the State of Wisconsin Courts and the Order which prevents included creditors from wage garnishments is signed by a Wisconsin Circuit Court Judge.
Why not a Chapter 128?
The debts included must be fully paid within 36 months.
Since the Chapter 128 plan runs through the State of Wisconsin Courts, the Chapter 128 must be administered by a Trustee, who will typically receive a commission of 10% on all of the funds disbursed.
While the Chapter 128 is pending, it does not help you improve your Credit score.
Upon successful completion the order which prevents included creditors from further collection is effective only for Wisconsin residents.
Although included creditors may not garnish your wages during the Chapter 128, included creditors may still file lawsuit(s) and enter Judgment(s) for the contractual amount(s) due.
Any creditor which is not included for payment may still pursue collection and wage garnishment.


This is about as casual as I have been and will be for the entirety of December. I stole this Jumper dress from my sister recently and I love it. It is the easiest pull out of my wardrobe and wriggle into dress for uni because I don't have to think about what to put it with, it looks great with all my shoes and bags and coats, what more could I ask for!
Today was oddly warm enough for me to go out in just this without a coat which I'm pretty sure should not happen in winter but it did. I of course wore my silver boots and my fluffy monki bag because I just adore them both and want them with me always.
Those boots are so dreamy!

The history of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the famous engineer that between 1837 and 1859 built the S.S. Great Western, the S.S. Great Britain (1845) and the immense S.S. Great Eastern. He realised that, although there was a limit to the size to which a wooden ship could be built because of the strength, or lack of it in the building material, this limitation did not apply when a much stronger building material was used. Iron was this stronger material, and with it ships much bigger than the biggest wooden ship ever built could be constructed.


Larsen Fiberflex can be used a replacement for non-structural steelmesh. The addition of Larsen Fiberflex increases the tensile strain capacity of the mix at plastic stage and so reduces the tendency for plastic shrinkage cracking. As the rate of bleed is also controlled throughout the matrix, hydration is improved and permeability is reduced.

Rising Star Hailey Whitters Releases "Fillin' My Cup"
Jerry Holthouse January 4, 2021	Nashville Music Scene w/ Jerry Holthouse 104 Views
Today rising Country star Hailey Whitters releases a new single "Fillin' My Cup (feat. Little Big Town)." The song was written by Whitters, Songs & Daughters' label head Nicolle Galyon, and Hillary Lindsey, and was co-produced by Whitters and Jake Gear – who produced her critically-acclaimed THE DREAM released last year via Pigasus Records / Big Loud Records / Songs & Daughters. The director's cut of the official video also just dropped featuring Whitters, Little Big Town, and Old Crow Medicine Show's Ketch Secor. Filmed under the direction of Harper Smith, it was shot outside Nashville, TN.
"I wrote this song with Hillary Lindsey and Nicolle Galyon. I'd had the title 'Fillin' My Cup' for a while, but then Nicolle had the brilliant idea to turn the lyric into a recipe," explains Whitters. "It's a concoction of all of those little things in life that have a way of making my glass feel half-full. It's been a hopeful reminder throughout the year and just felt like the right note to start 2021 on."
Whitters' THE DREAM firmly established the Iowa-born artist as "Nashville's Next Big Star." By the end of 2020, it was hailed as one of the top albums of the year, reigning #1 on both Stereogum's "10 Best Country Albums of 2020" and Garden & Gun's "Best Southern Albums of 2020" lists. THE DREAM was named among the best albums of the year by The Washington Post, Paste Magazine, The Tennessean, and landed at #6 on Rolling Stone's "30 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2020" list, who proclaimed, "The Dream is the type of record that could propel an artist as talented as Whitters in a million different directions." Rolling Stone and American Songwriter also named her single "Janice at the Hotel Bar" one of the best songs of 2020.
"All of the praise for THE DREAM has me quite choked up," adds Whitters. "This record was a labor of love for so many of us involved in the making of it, especially in the early days when it was just a handful of waitressing tips and Hail Marys. I'm humbled and proud to see it resonate the way it has. It's been the best reminder to stay true to who I am as an artist and storyteller."

NDAWN sites are found throughout the state and provide basic and custom measurements for a variety of individuals and institutions.
North Dakota agriculture ranks high in the nation's crop production: No. 1 in durum and spring wheat, barley, sunflower, flax, and all edible beans, No. 2 in oats and all wheat, No. 3 in potatoes, and No. 4 in rye and sugar beets. To maintain these rankings, our agriculture must continue to produce high quantities of quality crops despite unpredictable attacks from diseases, insects, and other antagonistic factors.
Pesticide application, although environmentally controversial, is the farmer's main tool to control crop diseases and insects. Scientists have identified the critical weather conditions that control development of some organisms, and have written programs that mimic or model this relationship. By using current weather data as input, a computer model can accurately track a specific disease or an organism's stage of development. Based on this information, a farmer knows if and when to spray pesticides, minimizing the potential health and litigation issues arising from spray drift, which are always of concern with pesticide application.
In 1989, weather monitoring systems were installed under the supervision of John W. Enz, NDSU agricultural climatologist, at six agriculture experimental stations across North Dakota. Today the system has grown to 50 weather stations, and is known as the North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network (NDAWN). NDAWN sites span the state and provide data critical to the application of pesticides. It is an environmentally sound electronic weather monitoring system, and is managed by John Enz (professor) and Radu Carcoana and Greg Brockberg (research specialists) from NDSU, Soil Science, Climatology Section. The data collected by this system are used by an increasing number of individuals and institutions for an amazingly wide variety of purposes.
Our standard weather stations measure air temperature and relative humidity with a Vaisala HMP35C sensor, wind speed and direction with Met One 014A and 024A sensors, solar radiation with LI-COR LI200S and LI200X pyranometers, rainfall with a Texas Electronic TE525 tipping bucket rain gauge, barometric pressure with a Vaisala PTA427 sensor, and soil temperature at 10 cm depths under bare and turf cover conditions with thermocouples or thermistors. Data are recorded and summarized hourly and daily by 41 CR10 dataloggers and nine 21Xs. All sites are accessed by phone: 37 with DC112 phone modems (seven with cellular phones), and 11 with VS1 voice modems. Two stations are accessed via radio telemetry.
Voice modems provide instantaneous weather data (wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity, and the amount of precipitation since midnight). The data helps farmers decide if the appropriate legal weather conditions are met for ground or aerial pesticide spraying.
Seasonal sensors are installed at several stations to monitor specific parameters. Temperature and RH under a mature sugar beet canopy (one foot from the ground) is measured with an additional HMP35C. Several extra thermistors are used to measure the temperature of the sugar beet root and crown at harvest time. Solar radiation is an important parameter in calculating the crop potential evapotranspiration (PET). PET is used to calculate the daily and weekly crop water use, which helps farmers decide when and how much to irrigate.
Beyond the basic measurements, special research projects require certain stations monitor other variables via Campbell's AM416 multiplexer. At two sites, temperatures are monitored at 14 depths (10 feet max) under highway pavement in a joint research project with the ND Department of Transportation. Ground water level is monitored in water wells, as part of a long term NDSU research program in the Sheyenne National Grasslands. Soil temperatures are measured once per hour at 12 depths (6 feet max) at 13 stations around the state as part of an ongoing research project. At another site soil temperatures are profiled in locations on both north- and south-facing slopes.
To provide accurate, reliable data (because bad data is worse than no data) we have concentrated our efforts to finance and develop an exigent program of quality control (QC) and preventive maintenance (PM). QC is upheld by two daily data quality control filters. One is performed by the High Plains Climate Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, which also retrieves daily data. The second is performed by the research specialists from NDSU. PM minimizes station downtime and expense, but requires a good supply of factory-calibrated spare parts, ranging from extra clamps and sensors to CR10s and 21Xs.
Each station is visited annually for a standard check-up. We also maintain a detailed log of all actions and events that occurred at each station. In addition to the standard checkups there are emergency situations (besides lightning strikes, bird droppings on pyranometers or in the rain gauge funnel, or snow on solar panel) that require additional travel.
The cooperation with applications engineers at Campbell Scientific and their availability by phone is invaluable in pinpointing problems. Their contribution in solving many specific and unusual situations is critical. On one occasion, a problem with a phone line was found in a cooperative effort on a four-way phone conference. Paul, an Environmental Specialist with the ND National Guard (the station's owner) was in the car, John was in the office monitoring the station by computer, Radu was at the station along with Harris from the phone company, and Bart, the Campbell Scientific application engineer, was in Logan, Utah.

Love Southsea is a Portsmouth-based events movement, dedicated to hosting some of the city's best days out, and specialising in markets, both standalone and as elements of larger events.
The award-winning street market returns this weekend to Palmerston Road.
Head down from 9:00am - 4:00pm.


It's really early in the morning as I post this. I've got to take a couple of goats to market then hurry home to pick the produce we're delivering this morning to drop points in two nearby towns. We love and appreciate the folks who are getting their produce from us, but it's also a little frustrating to know that thousands of folks in this community will go to grocery stores today and spend tens of thousands of dollars (most of which will end up in faraway corporate coffers) for food they ought not eat. But we'll just keep chipping away at the system, and we enjoy being part of our little (but growing) rebellion.
There is a good article in Orion Magazine this month that highlights some of the problems with the food infrastructure in our country. We have cities in places like Phoenix and Las Vegas that are unsustainable, and can be only be fed with massive transportation expense and the environmental damage that entails. Meanwhile, the government encourages agricultural communities like ours to produce for the export market. It's almost literally insane.
At a conference we attended recently I heard a talk led by a farmer from Kentucky, who mentioned his epiphany moment. While his wife was grilling burgers he went out to check on his herd. He began to wonder whether any of the steers he'd sold off his place might have ended up the burgers she was grilling. He thought about the fact that after he took them to the livestock auction and they were sold, the buyer would have then trucked them to some feedlot in the southwest, where they would be fattened ("finished") on grain. Then they would be trucked to a slaughterhouse in another part of the country. Then the beef (mixed in with the ground flesh of thousands of other steers) would be trucked to yet another facility in yet another state to be packaged for retail sale. From there it would be shipped all over the country and world. And just maybe, he thought, some little bit of the burgers they were grilling might be from cattle raised on his farm.
That, he realized, is insane.
After that epiphany moment he began having his steers processed and sold locally.
He now has started a local processing facility to try to encourage others to do the same. It's an uphill battle of course. Their burgers will never be as cheap as the ones sold at Walmart.

They have no gray, except their lives.
Spent in fear of unknown reprise.
They believe in religion, but only its paint.
Which they use to justify their anger and lack of restraint.
or at least just those who disagree with their flower.
and visualize only thin plots out of thin air.
to advance their opinions of ..their...right and wrong.
They cannot see the fear that inside takes its toll.
with weapons designed to bring their fear outside.
kill to control their political regions.
all types of beliefs, all kinds of demise.
beliefs that demand they keep tight their binds.
I pity the Fanatics of this world.
Medications only loosen the weakest of the binds.
but even with them, they still exist blind.
There is no cure for the darkness that is there.
No way to let them enjoy life and take away the fear.
To all those who kill others in thier minds. To all those who fight blindly and are bound by fears tight, unending binds.
We have them all over the world, but even here in the United States of America, they are living in fear and pain. They wake with visions of sleeping horrors and they see only plots and plans ...to them deceptions..in the acts of anyone who is better off then them. So they create websites, and spout pain and blame, and expect and need to convince others they are right and are more important then they really are.

Traveling Beer Garden 2020 Dates & Locations Announced
Milwaukee – Milwaukee County Parks announced the 2020 Traveling Beer Garden schedule today, which means Beer Garden season is around the corner!
The two Traveling Beer Gardens, dubbed 'Roll Out the Barrel' and 'Pass Me a Pint', both feature beer fire trucks adapted by Sprecher Brewery that serve Sprecher beers and root beer. The two tours will make a total of 10 stops between May 13 and September 7, and stay at each location for three weeks.
"Spring and summer mean it's Beer Garden season, a tradition that residents and visitors look forward to each year for the opportunity to experience two of Milwaukee County's greatest past times – great beer and greater parks," said Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. "When you come to our beer gardens you're not just there for a drink, you're there for the experience. We are proud to partner with Sprecher to bring families and friends together and celebrate all that Milwaukee County has to offer."
"Beer Gardens are a staple in Milwaukee County, and this year our offerings are more vibrant and diverse than ever," said Guy Smith, Director of the Milwaukee County Parks Department. "As well as operating the two Traveling Beer Gardens, our parks staff operate three permanent beer gardens too."
Over the past five years the Traveling Beer Gardens have generated over $2.5 million in revenue. Profits from the Milwaukee County Parks beer gardens go back to the parks system, helping to fund future parks and trails projects throughout the county. In partnership with Milwaukee County Parks, Sprecher Brewery has donated almost $200,000 for park and trail improvement projects including pavilion renovations, tree plantings and bike rack installations.

Q: Is this a memory leak ? I am doing some magic stuff using object association in extension, but not sure if I don't make leaks on my way I needed to implement UIGestureRecognizerDelegate so I did this UIView extension:
recognizer.delegate = recognizer.associated("delegate") { RecognizeSimultaneouslyWithAnyDelegate() }
addGestureRecognizer(recognizer)

class RecognizeSimultaneouslyWithAnyDelegate: NSObject, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate {
    public func gestureRecognizer(_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer,
                                  shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWith
                                  otherGestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool { true }
}

Then I have this magic extension:
private let dictionaryAssociation = CSObjectAssociation<NSMutableDictionary>()

public extension NSObject {

    var associatedDictionary: NSMutableDictionary {
        dictionaryAssociation.value(self, onCreate: { NSMutableDictionary() })
    }

    func associated<T>(_ key: String) -> T? { associatedDictionary[key] as? T }

    @discardableResult
    func associate<T>(_ key: String, _ value: T?) -> T? {
        associatedDictionary[key] = value
        return value
    }

    func associated<T>(_ key: String, onCreate: () -> T) -> T {
        associated(key) ?? associate(key, onCreate())!
    }

open class CSObjectAssociation<T> {
    private let policy: objc_AssociationPolicy

    public init(policy: objc_AssociationPolicy = .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC) {
        self.policy = policy
    }

    public subscript(source: AnyObject) -> T? {
        get { objc_getAssociatedObject(source, Unmanaged.passUnretained(self).toOpaque()) as? T }
        set { objc_setAssociatedObject(source, Unmanaged.passUnretained(self).toOpaque(), newValue, policy) }
    }
}

I believe i have enough code here for you to get idea what is happening. I am not so good with memory (forgetting all the time :) ) but also here in objc/swift world I get quite confused when I create this famous cycle or any other issue so memory never deallocate.
So recognizer has delegate and also has associated dictionary that has inside this same delegate. Can this be a problem ? Will this free up when I remove gesture recognizer from recognizers ?
