Plynlimon research catchments: catchment boundaries
These catchment boundaries define upland catchments and subcatchments at the headwaters of rivers Upper Hafren (Severn) and Upper Gwy (Wye). They identify the area of study of the Plynlimon research catchment project.
The coastline of Kalaallit Nunaat/ Greenland available as a shapefile and geopackage, covering the main land and islands, with glacier fronts updated as of 2017
A coastline of Kalaallit Nunaat/ Greenland covering all land and islands, produced in 2017 for the BAS map ''Greenland and the European Arctic''. The dataset was produced by extracting the land mask from the Greenland BedMachine dataset and manually editing anomalous data. Some missing islands were added and glacier fronts were updated using 2017 satellite imagery. The dataset can be used for cartography, analysis and as a mask, amongst other uses. At very large scales, the data will appear angular due to the nature of being extracted from a raster with 150 m cell size, but the dataset should be suitable for use at most scales and can be edited by the user to exclude very small islands if required. The projection of the dataset is WGS 84 NSIDC Sea Ice Polar Stereographic North, EPSG 3413. The dataset does not promise to cover every island and coastlines were digitised using the data creator''s interpretation of the landforms from the images.

Woody linear features framework, Great Britain v.1.0
A modelled dataset derived from a range of national datasets, describing the distribution of woody linear feature boundaries in Great Britain. The dataset presents linear features which have a high likelihood of being a woody linear feature. The dataset was created by a predictive model developed at the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Lancaster in 2016. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/d7da6cb9-104b-4dbc-b709-c1f7ba94fb16
Soil data from agricultural land under differing crop and management regimes, 2006-2010 - RELU Effects of scale in organic agriculture
This dataset consists of soil data for 64 field sites on paired farm sites, with 29 variables measured for soil texture and structural condition, aggregate stability, organic matter content, soil shear strength, fuel consumption, work rate, infiltration rate, water quality and hydrological condition (HOST) data. The study is part of the NERC Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme. A move to organic farming can have significant effects on wildlife, soil and water quality, as well as changing the ways in which food is supplied, the economics of farm business and indeed the attitudes of farmers themselves. Two key questions were addressed in the SCALE project: what causes organic farms to be arranged in clusters at local, regional and national scales, rather than be spread more evenly throughout the landscape; and how do the ecological, hydrological, socio-economic and cultural impacts of organic farming vary due to neighbourhood effects at a variety of scales. The research was undertaken in 2006-2007 in two study sites: one in the English Midlands, and one in southern England. Both are sites in which organic farming has a 'strong' local presence, which we defined as 10 per cent or more organically managed land within a 10 km radius. Potential organic farms were identified through membership lists of organic farmers provided by two certification bodies (the Soil Association and the Organic Farmers and Growers). Most who were currently farming (i.e. their listing was not out of date) agreed to participate. Conventional farms were identified through telephone listings. Respondents' farms ranged in size from 40 to 3000 acres, with the majority farming between 100 and 1000 acres. Most were mixed crop-livestock farmers, with dairy most common in the southern site, and beef and/or sheep mixed with arable in the Midlands. In total, 48 farms were studied, of which 21 were organic farmers. No respondent had converted from organic to conventional production, whereas 17 had converted from conventional to organic farming. Twelve of the conventional farmers defined themselves as practicing low input agriculture. Farmer interview data from this study are available at the UK Data Archive under study number 6761 (see online resources). Further documentation for this study may be found through the RELU Knowledge Portal and the project's ESRC funding award web page (see online resources).
Auroral Boundary Derived from IMAGE Satellite Mission Data (May 2000 - Oct 2002)
Auroral oval boundary locations derived from IMAGE (Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration) satellite FUV (Far Ultra Violet imager) data covering the period from May 2000 until October 2002. Three sets of boundary data were derived separately from the WIC (Wideband Imaging Camera) and SI12/SI13 (Spectrographic Imager 121.8/135.6 nm) detectors. For each image, the position of each pixel in AACGM (Altitude Adjusted Corrected Geomagnetic) coordinates was established. Each image was then divided into 24 segments covering 1 hour of magnetic local time (MLT). For each MLT segment, an intensity profile was constructed by finding the average intensity across bins of 1 degree magnetic latitude in the range of 50 to 90 degrees (AACGM). Two functions were fit to each intensity profile: a function with one Gaussian component and a quadratic background, and a function with two Gaussian components and a quadratic background. The function with a single Gaussian component should provide a reasonable model when the auroral emission forms in a continuous oval. When the oval shows bifurcation, the function with two Gaussian components may provide a better model of the auroral emission. Of the two functions fit to each intensity profile, we determine the one with the lower reduced chi-square goodness-of-fit statistic to be the better model for that profile. For the version 1.1 boundary location data, the fitting process was performed over 200 iterations to achieve each fit. The auroral boundaries were then determined to be the position of the peak of the poleward Gaussian curve, plus its FWHM (full-width half-maximum) value of the Gaussian, to the peak of the equatorward Gaussian, minus its FWHM. In the case of the single Gaussian fit, the same curve is used for both boundaries. A number of criteria were applied to discard poorly located auroral boundaries arising from either poor fitting or incomplete data. A further correction can be applied to the data, to estimate the location of the Earth''s magnetic field''s OCB (open-close boundary). These corrections have been tabulated in a separate file; if this correction is required the adjustments should be made to the poleward boundary value.


Larry was a very unlucky guy until he crossed paths with Jami who saved his life.
After staying up many nights worrying about Larry whose tail had been bitten, or broken off, Jami was successful in trapping Larry last Friday night.
Larry went to the Denver Dumb Friends League clinic on Saturday morning where he was neutered and given an antibiotic shot. His next stop was to visit Doctor Molly Abernathy at Family Pet Hospital. Doctor Molly amputated his severed tail that was raw and very infected. Thank you sooo much Jami for saving Larry's life! Thank you to the DDFL and Family Pet Hospital for the medical care you gave Larry. Larry is recovering with Tonni for now and will return home once he is feeling better.

"Program for women entering skilled trades receives $10M from province"
by CTV Edmonton | Sep 25, 2019
On Thursday September 18, the Government of Alberta announced $10 million over four years to Women Building Futures.
The funding will allow the non-profit organization to expand its programming and ensure women are empowered to pursue careers in industries where they are traditionally under-represented.
Nearly 20,000 skilled trade workers will retire over the next five years creating plenty of opportunities for newly trained graduates, the government said.
Kathy Kimpton, the president of Women Building Futures, is confident this additional money will help more women train to fill these jobs.
"Thousands of women will be impacted by this from an awareness stage all the way through to the point where they're in the seat, taking our training and they go get these high paying jobs."

The First Professional Class 1 Driver Program Graduates
If being perfect is the measure of success, Women Building Futures' (WBF) can hold its head high after a 100% graduation rate from its inaugural Class 1 driving program.
Coming from various employment backgrounds, many from what would be described as non-traditional female occupations, a recurring theme among the group of graduates was a desire to be on the road and do a job they would be proud of.
by Lizette Ortegon Rico | Oct 11, 2017
Mass retirements and an upturn in work will create workforce challenges, but opportunities abound if industry can engage the next generation from all potential sources of labour.
The Canadian construction industry is forecast to lose almost 20 percent of its workforce – close to 250,000 workers to retirement – over the next decade, while estimates based on historical data predict the potential for 216,000 new workers to enter the industry during this same period. This imbalance is sure to create a substantial deficit in the workforce, especially if there's an upturn in the overall volume of work. So, what's the industry to do?

I think there is more drama in a soldier's and his family's life once he goes away from home for active duty. This type of life has more challenges than persons like us can even imagine.
I Hope Zee and Lagir production team stick to proper story line rather than on TRP and maintain the freshness and beauty of this excellent serial so far.
Nevertheless thanks a lot for a beautiful serial so far.

'Not all wounds are visible': Dog helps veteran cope with PTSD
by: Constance Jones and Nexstar Media Wire
Charlottesville, Va. (WRIC) — After seven years in the Army, one Virginia veteran says adjusting back to civilian life has not been easy.
"For me, it's like climbing Mount Everest every time I leave my house," said Michelle, who was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. She did not want her last name used.
But a group in Charlottesville is helping to change lives one canine at a time.
Service Dogs of Virginia (SDV) trains puppies and then places them with those in need when the dogs are about 2 years old.

Service members who have survived combat and war zones often face challenges as they return to everyday life. Many military veterans suffer from the paralyzing effects of PTSD.
Michelle was having trouble going out in public.
"For example, going to the grocery store is a task that I am not able to do. I am not able to go to Target. Wal-Mart, forget about it," she explained.
Michelle, like many veterans, has gone through a list of treatments and therapies to no avail. But then she learned about SDV. After about a year-long wait, she was paired with Dottie, a black Labrador retriever.
"My hope for having Dottie is that I am finally able to return to a normal life again," she said. "That I am able to have a sense of normalcy back in my life."

To get a service dog like Dottie, it costs approximately $40,000 over a two-year period to raise, train and place the dog with a person in need. That cost is never passed on to the new owner. Rather, money is raised to cover the expenses.
"I do everything I can to raise funds. I do not pass on that cost to our clients. I write grants. We have individual donors. I get corporate sponsorships," said Sally Day, SDV director of development.
Fundraising has been difficult, due to the coronavirus pandemic, Day said, but the organization is determined to continue the work they've been doing for over 10 years.
"When the organizations began, they started with a waiting list because there was so much need," she said.
Michelle says she hopes her story inspires other veterans to ask for help.
"Not all wounds are visible," she said.

Fake US leg band earns pigeon a reprieve from Australian death sentence
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — A pigeon that Australia declared a biosecurity risk has received a reprieve after a U.S. bird organization declared its identifying leg band was fake.
The band suggested the bird found in a Melbourne backyard on Dec. 26 was a racing pigeon that had left the U.S. state of Oregon, 8,000 miles away, two months earlier.

Plateau ADC Gubernatorial Candidate berates Gov. Lalong over attacks
Joel Gomiyar 2 months ago 1 min read
A man stands in front of his house burnt by terrorists near Jos
The Gubernatorial Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Plateau State, Solomon Nandy Chendan has expressed disappointment over the manner the current Governor, Simon Lalong is handling security threats in the State.
The Chendan while sympathizing with victims of recent attacks in Bokkos said despite receiving over 21 billion naira as security vote in 7 years, the governor has failed to secure citizens in the State.
Chendan who is a former security consultant to the former Governor of Nasarawa State, Tanko Al-makura decried government's lack of political will to investigate and prosecute attacks.
"Everyday citizens are being killed. Our mothers and daughters are being raped, this is very sad and no nation will accept that" he said.
Responding to the N21bn security funds allegedly received by the State, the state Commissioner for Information and Communication, Dan Manjang said government was doing its best and there was no need to respond to "conjecture".
"You are a Journalist and if you have been in this state when people always run helter skelter and now, then you can tell whether the government has done something or not" the Commissioner said.
He added that the insecurity is not an issue of Plateau State alone, and that the Peace Building Agency of the State are working hard which is yielding positive result, saying insecurity is not alien to Plateau State.

Dry Bowser
AUTHOR: Jimmy Piranha
GAMES: NSMB.
TYPE: Turtle, Undead, Dinosaur.
TURF: Castles.
AFFILIATIONS: Koopa Troop.
CLOSE RELATIVES: None.
SKILLS AND ATTACKS: Bone Rush, Fireball
STRENGTHS: He's undead and therefore invincible to Fireballs - and is invincible to pretty much ANY other attack!
WEAKNESSES: If dropped from an extreme height, he'll break apart.
BACKGROUND: Everybody knew that it was only a matter of time before Bowser would over-play his hand. After Mario dropped Bowser into the lava in the World 1 Castle, it appeared to be sayonara for his reptilian adversasary. After writhing in the lava, Bowser lost his skin, and then sank to the bottom of the pit. Little did Mario know, however, that Bowser, full of emotions that he had never exposed to Peach properly, had unfulfilled desires. And so, Bowser came back as something that was merely a shadow of his former glory. Dry Bowser was invinicible. Fireballs could do him no harm, and he now could throw his own bones.
However, not even Dry Bowser could defeat Mario. After swiftly dodging the fireballs and bones, Mario hit a switch that plunged the newly-reborn Bowser into the depths of his own castle- shattering the bones of his rival, but also breaking the remnants of an ancient Koopa magic that had kept Bowser alive, even through death. Bowser was nothing more then a pile of bones and dust.
Bowser Jr., stumbled upon a potion that was easy enough to make, and would give life to his father's dusty bones. Mario caught up to Bowser Jr. just as he was about to complete the spell. Before Mario could even blink, Dry bowser had been reborn as Bowser. He was now back to his old, fire-breathing old self.

Q: Use result of a query as input for a button function I want to get the result of a query and use it for a button function, to change the state of the parent component. In this code example, the state of the parent component contains an ID which is used to display some stuff later. I want to create a button for every set of data of my data base and use the ID of the sets to change the state. But when I implement it like this the ID changes to "NaN". Is there any possible way to make this work?
class TestClass extends React.Component{

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.handleNewID = this.handleNewID .bind(this);
    this.state = {
      ID: 0,
    };
  }

  handleNewID ({id}){
    this.setState({ID: id});
  }

  render(){
    const props={
      handleNewID :this.handleNewID ,
    }

    return(

          <TestFunction props={props}/>

)

  }
}

 function TestFunction ({props}){

  const {loading, error, data} = useQuery(GET_SOMETHING);

Loading ...
;
  if (error) return
Error ... ${JSON.stringify(error, null, 2)}
;
  if (data)
  return data.something.map(({ id }) => (

      <button onClick={ () => props.handleNewID ({id})}> Test Button </button>

));
}

A: A lot of stuff to tackle here; I decided to include comments in the code rather than describe my changes in the answer.
This might not solve the issue but it should guide you toward troubleshooting.
class TestClass extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.handleNewID = this.handleNewID.bind(this); // removed space, probably copy/paste issue
    this.state = {
      ID: 0,
    };
  }

  handleNewID(id) {
    if(isNaN(id)) { // if we get NaN we log out to see what value id is, this will help us with troubleshooting
      console.log(`Id is NaN. Current value of id: ${id}`)
    }

    // no need to wrap in braces
    this.setState({ ID: Number(id) }); // try to convert to Number to be consisten with data types
  }

  render() {
    // removed props object since it can be confusing
    // instead we're passing the handler directly as an onClick-property
    return (

        <TestFunction onClick={this.handleNewID} />

    );
  }
}

function TestFunction({ onClick }) {
  const { loading, error, data } = useQuery(GET_SOMETHING);
  if (loading) return
Loading ...
;
  if (error) return
Error ... ${JSON.stringify(error, null, 2)}
;
  if (data) {
    return data.something.map(({ id }) => (

        <button onClick={() => onClick(id)}>Test Button</button>

    ));
  }
  return null; // always need to return something from a component

Brett ready for big testimonial match
Preston North End hero Brett Ormerod has been putting in plenty of hard work at the gym in readiness for his final goodbye to the fans today.
Sunday, 28th August 2016, 6:55 am
Updated Sunday, 28th August 2016, 9:01 am
Brett Ormerod on his first day as a PNE player with then manager Billy Davies
Ormerod will be the centre of attention at his testimonial match at AFC Fylde's new ground at Mill Farm.
Ormerod, who made Blackpool FC history by scoring for them in all four divisions of the English league, will see a Tanagerine All-Stars take on a side assembled by Coasters' manager Dave Challinor.
Part of the proceeds for the day will go towards a fund set up to help former North End and Blackpool player Gary Parkinson, who has been seriously incapacitated by the illness 'locked-in syndrome' following a serious stroke.
Ormerod finally retired from the game at the end of last year at the age of 39 after a distinguished, successful career that saw him make 62 appearances for the Deepdale club between 2006 and 2009.
He said: "I haven't kicked a ball since last Christmas, and I have been on the tread-mill for the last two weeks, trying to get fit for Sunday.
"I can't promise that I will last the full 90 minutes, but I will certainly be getting my boots on again."
Among those supporting Ormerod's big day are the likes of Matt Gilks, Paul Rachubka, Stephen Crainey, John Hills, Barry Shuttleworth, Ian Evatt, Danny Coid, Alex Baptiste, Charlie Adam, David Vaughan, Jamie Milligan, Keith Southern, Phil Clarkson, Billy Clarke, Gary Taylor-Fletcher and John Murphy.
Steve Thompson, formerly a coach at Blackpool and now working with Simon Grayson at Preston, will oversee tactics from the touchline for the Seasiders' All-Stars.
Not all of the assembled Blackpool glitterati will play as some of that illustrious number are still playing competitive football and managers are loathe to risk them in a testimonial match, but Ormerod says he hopes there will be the odd cameo.
And there is a possibility that Parkinson himself will be there with his family to support the venture.
Ormerod said: "There is a chance Gary will be at the match and it would be nice if that happened.
"I knew Gary as a player and a coach at Blackpool and he was always the life and soul of everything.
"It is sad what has happened to him and hopefully he will be able to be there on Sunday.
"If not, we will still be able to support his fund.
"What happened to Gary can happen to anyone."
Ormerod finished his playing days in non-league football, including a spell at Bamber Bridge FC and now that he has retired from the game he says he is busier than ever.
He said: "I am involved in a gym franchise and I am also doing work as a pundit with Radio Lancashire.
"I have three kids that keep me busy – there are loads of things to do and I am certainly not ready yet for the rocking-chair and the pipe-and-slippers!"
Kick-off is 3pm


The wonderful Children's Laureate Malorie Blackman has announced the UK's first ever YA literature convention.
But that's not all! Malorie has also announced a campaign to support YA fiction in the UK, which is obviously completely brilliant news.
The convention will take place at the London Film and Comic Con 2014 and will feature author events – including talks, workshops, and signings – a book sales area, and publisher stands promoting new and upcoming titles.
We're obviously very excited and can't wait to hear even more about it.
What do you think? Will you be going? Who would you like to see there?

A bacteriophage is described which grows on recipient (F-) and not on donor ( Hfr, F+, or F') salmonella. The reason for this differential is unknown, since the phage attaches to all mating types, but progeny ensue only from female bacteria. Purification of this phage has been accomplished. A procedure is described for quantitatively determining either the acquisition or loss of the F agent by bacteria.

The Pentium 4 processor line has been with us for sometime now and has matured into quite the profitable making product for Intel after its rather shaky inception. Now we have the Top 3 chipset manufacturers creating chipset solutions for the processor. One which has begun to stand out in the crown is SiS with their solid 648 chipset. Today Cameron "Sov" Johnson presents us with a roundup of three budget motherboards based on this very chipset from MSI, Gigabyte and ECS!
The Intel Pentium 4 platform over the last year has seen more changes than any other platform. AMD have stuck to their Socket 462 connector for nearly three years now and are continuing to do so with their latest processors. Intel Pentium 4 however, has seen socket, memory and core changes that really have pushed it up in price and along the market. We have seen RDRAM being replaced by SDRAM and then DDR SDRAM. Sockets changed from 423 pin to 478 pin and the core changed from Willamette to Northwood, all in the space of around one year.
The SiS 648 on its introduction in the mainstream market caused some speculations and some doubt to its potential as a true Pentium 4 solution candidate. Being able to top the fastest Intel and VIA chipsets while supporting new features as well as some controversial extras that few have dared to take on, the SiS 648 proved itself to us well and truly.
Now with the chipset taking full flight with many manufacturers, the time has come to test three potential overclockers/value market contenders for the SiS 648 motherboard crown. Let us now take you on a tour of the MSI 648 Max-L, ECS L4S8A and Gigabyte GA-8SG667 - Three brand new SIS 648 motherboards available on the market today.

Dan Tentler, Founder and Director of Security Research at AtenLabs, discusses his DefCon presentation "Drinking From the Caffeine Firehose We Know as Shodan" while attending BSidesLV.
Shodan is commonly known for allowing users to search for banners displayed by a short list of services available over the internet. Shodan can quite easily be used for searching the internet for potentially vulnerable services to exploit, but it's also a powerful defensive posturing tool as well as the first step in aggregating wide scopes of data for mining.
Everyone knows routers, switches and servers are connected to the internet - but what else is out there? Has anybody even looked? Dan suspects people stop after the popular searches and forego what's left. Did you know there are hydrogen fuel cells attached to the internet?
Some of Dan's findings were pretty surprising, and these discoveries are an excellent metric for identifying how successful our security campaigns as an industry are. It's a way to measure our success as a whole, by scanning the entire internet.
Dan (@Viss ) is currently freelancing as a Security Consultant and parachutes into various clients in southern California. During the last 5 years Dan has carried a wide breadth of clients and engagements, ranging from wireless site surveys and penetration testing, to full blown social engineering campaigns, to lockpicking and threat & vulnerability assessments.
Dan has presented at various BarCamps, Toorcon San Diego, ToorCon Seattle, Refresh San Diego and SDSU computer security advanced lecture classes. Come find Dan and ask him about things, he'll talk your ear off.
