Polish aid helped to develop agricultural cooperatives in difficult Palestinian conditions. Innovative solutions make it possible to cultivate vegetables without having access to agricultural land and with limited water resources. Crops are cultivated on the balconies, terraces and in the courtyards, and special attention is paid to optimal watering methods. / Dzięki polskiej pomocy w trudnych palestyńskich warunkach rozwijają się spółdzielnie rolnicze. Innowacyjność zastosowanych rozwiązań pozwala na uprawę warzyw bez dostępu do ziemi rolnej i przy niewielkich zasobach wody. Uprawy są zakładane na balkonach, podwórzach i tarasach, a szczególną wagę przywiązuje się do optymalnego sposobu ich nawadniania.

Punjab Government is committed to maintain communal harmony while ensuring respect for all religions in the state. It is a matter of great pride and honour for the state government to offer tributes to Lord Valmiki ji by developing a temple-cum-panorama centre at Sri Valmiki Tirath in Amritsar. Significance of this place is huge, as it is believed that Lord Valmiki ji had written Ramayana here.
During the works to develop the former Yellow Buses depot in Mallard Rd into a retail park the corner of Castle Lane West and Mallard Rd was remodelled which included the demolition of approximately eight properties.
Two were demolished back in May 2002 and the site remained vacant until the works began in 2006. The site was eventually where the new council homes on the redesigned corner of Castle Lane West and Mallard Rd were built.
Another two were demolished in March 2005 to create the new Castle Way where new homes were built on the site of the former bus depot staff car park, although the right hand property was eventually replaced by council homes.
One older detached house initially survived the works but was itself demolished in December 2011 with new homes planned for the site.
When the stretch of Castle Lane West between Cattistock Rd and Mallard Rd was widened during the works to construct the Castlepoint shopping centre in 2001 / 2003 six mature oak trees that lined both sides of the road were cut down.
During the works to develop the bus depot into the retail park another mature oak was also cut down.
Strouden Park has a number of fine mature oaks but to lose seven was undoubtedly a blow to the area and this doesn't include any lost since the late 1920s/early 30s when the area began to be extensively built upon.
Developed in 1921, Palisades Del Rey later to be known as Surfridge was an exclusive neighborhood of brick and stucco houses for the rich and famous. Today, it's over 400 acres of fenced in land west of LAX bordered by Waterview Street to the north, Pershing to the east, Imperial Hwy to the south, and Vista Del Mar to the west.
As the airport expanded along with the arrival of the jet age in the late 1050's, noise pollution among other concerns became an issue. Over 800 homes were purchased by the airport through imminent domain and were either moved or destroyed from about 1965 through the mid 70's.
Today, only the streets remain as evidence of a neighborhood that once stood with million dollar views.

Developing Military Skills for Today
15 June 2010
Soldiers from Burnham’s 3rd Land Force Group, and Air Force personnel from Ohakea spent two weeks working alongside each other, preparing for likely operational deployments to sustain current overseas missions.
This was a Combined Arms Task Group exercise which included infantry, armoured crewmen using Light Armoured Vehicles, engineers, artillery, medical, logistics and Air Force personnel, carrying out tasks in Ranfurly, Naseby, St Bathams and through to Omarama before culminating in a live fire exercise in Tekapo.
The exercise was based on a conventional training scenario. Central Otago and the McKenzie Basin were transformed into a fictitious island nation known as South Leziwt. Political unrest had caused tensions, forcing the Army to intervene. Troops headed there to restore order and evacuate any New Zealanders who needed to move. The people of local towns Naseby and Ranfurly helped “act out” the scenario, and were involved in the evacuation.
“Soldiers spend a lot of their training building individual skills but this exercise allowed those skills to be tested both individually and as a group” says the Commanding Officer 2/1 Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Hugh McAslan.
“Working as a Combined Arms Task Group is exactly what we would be doing in any operation, either here or overseas. Each part of the Defence Force has its own specialty; the power is when they are combined.”

Using pioneering new technologies in Superfoods and nutrition, CFTRI has developed amazing new products which are on show at CFTRI stall at Pragati Maidan:
· Chia and Quinoa based Chocolates and Laddoos;
· Omega-3 enriched ice-cream;
· Multigrain banana bar
· Fruit juice based carbonated drinks.
New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.
About CSIR-CFTRI:

India is the world's second largest food grain, fruit and vegetable producer, and the institute is engaged in research and development in the production and handling of grains, pulses, oilseeds, spices, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and poultry.
The institute develops technologies to increase efficiency and reduce postharvest losses, add convenience, increase export, find new sources of food products, integrate human resources in food industries and develops solutions to improve the health and wellness of the population.
CFTRI has a vast portfolio of over 300 products, processes and equipment designs, and close to 4000 licensees have availed themselves of these technologies for commercial exploitation. The achievements have been of considerable industrial value, social importance and national relevance, and coupled with the institute's wide-ranging facilities and services, have created an extensive impact on the Indian food industry and Indian society at large.
On December 8th, 2012 P4K and EPN launched the Farmers of the Future program officially in Gueriguinde. Both the Minister of Education and the Minister of Livestock participated in front of a huge crowd of 400! This program is being piloted in three schools in Libore, with the goal of changing the mindset of children about agriculture -- teaching them that it is a business not merely a way to subsist.
With a nod to Daniel Kwan -- a big improvement and rather easier to fold.
This is a map I got from Wikipedia -- perfectly legal, of course. It's an SVG, so I could conceivably color the counties different colors.
But lately, I notice my brother wizards have developed a distaste for colored drawings, even if you color inside the lines, as my kindergarten teacher insisted is the only way.
Ah, well. Nothing wrong with gray areas, I guess. They're just a little dull.
Title : Bagh-e Fin
Other title : Bagh-i Fin; Fin Garden
Date : 1571-1629 (construction) 1797-1834 (reconstruction)
Current location : Kashan, Esfahan, Iran
Description of work : The Bagh-e Fin was developed during the reign of the Safavid ruler Shah Abbas I (1571-1629) on the route to his new capital at Isfahan. Contained within massive enclosure walls and laid out on a series of low terraces, the garden follows a quadripartite chahar bagh scheme divided by the crossing of two watercourses which also line the perimeter of the garden. The crossing is marked by a two-story pavilion, while garden spaces and pathways fill the space. An additional watercourse, running adjacent to the central one, emanates from a small, but elaborately painted, pool house. The paintings date to the reign of the Qajar ruler Fath Ali Shah (1797-1834), who also replaced most of the earlier buildings. The water is delivered by a qanat (underground irrigation canal) and is forced through numerous fountains by gravity. Various hammams (bathhouses), residences, and a museum line the sides. It was declared a national monument in 1935 and has since undergone extensive repairs. (Sources: Hobhouse, Penelope. Gardens of Persia. Kales Press, 2004; Faghih, Nasrine and Amin Sadeghy.

NORWALK – As school districts unfold their Teacher Leader Compensation (TLC) programs, they would do well to drop by Norwalk to see what this district is up to.
Now in its second year of implementation, the district has found that its program is not static. Far from it. Leader titles have changed as needs became more focused. And, indeed, some of the leaders have changed.
“Our TLC is constantly focused on the ongoing needs; it doesn’t stay in one place,” said Dawn Schiro, elementary director of teaching and learning. “We sit down with every group and all grade levels and get all of the feedback on what changes we need to make to ensure all needs are being supported.
“Since we first implemented TLC, we have changed job descriptions. We realized technology is huge so we now have a technology component. Some of the roles we had at the beginning we changed. It is ever adjusting. I don’t know if it will ever be the same from year to year.”
Broken Arch, developed in the Jurassic of Utah, USA.
Rock arches are rare erosional features. Rock arches that are not formed by river or stream erosion are called "natural arches". Those that are formed by river or stream erosion are called "natural bridges". Natural bridges are rarer than natural arches. Very small erosional openings in rocks are called windows. Larger erosional openings are arches.
Arches National Park in eastern Utah has the highest concentration of natural arches on Earth. Over 2000 natural arches have been identified, in all stages of development.
The natural arches in the park are developed in the Entrada Sandstone (Middle Jurassic), which is entirely composed of siliciclastics stained red by abundant hematite (= iron oxide, Fe2O3). Most of the arches occur at & just above the contact between the lower and middle members of the Entrada Sandstone.
Traditionally, the Entrada Sandstone has been subdivided into three members: a lower Dewey Bridge Member, a middle Slickrock Member, and an upper Moab Member (a.k.a. "Moab Tongue"; a.k.a. "Moab Tongue Member")..
The lower unit, the Dewey Bridge Member of the Entrada Sandstone, consists principally of relatively soft, interbedded siltstones and fine-grained sandstones that have contorted and wavy bedding. Recent stratigraphic revision (e.g., Doelling, 2010) has changed the name to the Dewey Bridge Member of the Carmel Formation. I reject this formation-level stratigraphic assignment. The Dewey Bridge is time-equivalent to the Carmel Formation, but the bulk lithology is quite different, necessitating a different formation name, according to the code of stratigraphic nomenclature.
Overlying the Dewey Bridge is the Slickrock Member, a unit of relatively hard, massive, quartzose sandstones.
Differential weathering & erosion along the sides of relatively narrow Entrada Sandstone fins, or walls, has formed blind arches and, ultimately, natural arches. Some of the park's arches have their origin as deep potholes that have punched through.

D-EOAJ At EGHN Sondown Airport on the Isle of Wight.
D-EOAJ (cn 028) Formerly with the German Air Force as 90+18. The FW P-149D was developed by Piaggo in Italy and won a Luftwaffe fly-off against the Beech T-34 and Saab 91 Safir. A total of 194 examples (including this one) were built by Focke-Wulf in Bremen in Germany, with a further 72 supplied direct from Piaggo in Italy. The fledgling post-war Luftwaffe used them as a four-seat basic trainer, and later a reconnaissance platform.
ZoomCharts at DevClub.lv: Developing a Javascript SDK
On January 15, 2015, ZoomCharts Co-Founder and CTO Viesturs Zariņš presented at DevClub.lv - a community of Latvian IT specialists that gather monthly and host free talks, presentations, and events to allow the local IT community to share knowledge, network, and communicate. Zariņš discussed the unique challenges faced in developing JavaScript SDK.
Here is a brief overview of his PowerPoint presentation on ZoomCharts, the world’s most interactive data visualization software that will support all your data presentation needs with incredible speed.
What is ZoomCharts?
What defines ZoomCharts advanced data visualization software? It is NOT another HTML5 charts library. It is:
- Interactive
- Fast
- Touch enabled
- Supports big data
A long time ago
DOS 6.2 allowed for:
- 320x240x8bpp
- Direct access to pixels on screen
- Assembler for performance
Today, the Web has finally caught up in the graphics department. Now, we have access to:
- Multiple browsers and rendering technologies
- Multiple resolutions
- Performance that varies by browser and device
Development setup:
- We write in JavaScript
- Commit to GitHub
- Build system in JavaScript
- Debug in Chrome
- Run automated tests
- Like WebStorm (and Vim)
Graphics:
Canvas (fast)
SVG (slow)
WebGL (>50%)
Interactive animations:
Zoom in and out of the graph, drag and drop data, all with your mouse or trackpad.
Graceful degradation:
High FPS (frames per second) lets you scale graphics with low image degradation.
Third party libraries:
- Raphael
- Hammer.js
- Leaflet
- Moment.js
Challenges:
- Responsive design: layouts can shift and look nice on desktop screens vs. not so nice on vertical, mobile screens
- Big screen resolutions: uses devicePixelRatio for sharp rendering, but no hardware acceleration beyond 2048x2048
- Safari compatibility: with 100% CPU, input events are blocked and browser locks up; strange code offers fixes
- HTML on canvas: DOM is slow; basic HTML markup must be parsed and rendered manually; text caching helps
Support:
- Process: TrialSupportBuy
- 1 day issue resolution
- #1 Tell me what I did wrong
- #2 Can you do…
Testing:
- Automated tests on every GIT push
Automatically:
- Compare images
- Record performance
- View errors in console
Interactive testing:
- Next step: record and playback
BrowserStack:
- Interactive mode
- Automated: Selenium API
Debugging:
Chrome Developer tools (F12)
- Debugging
- Profiling
- Timeline
Remote debugging available: developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging
Future:
- More charts
- Extension API
- Memory allocation tracking
- WebGL
We are looking for statically-typed language:
- Error checking
- Performance
- Superior minification
- Easy to write and read
- Easy to call from JS
Building
Custom build script:
- Compile
- Minify
- Extract documentation
- Embed customer data

Another active afternoon across southwestern Ontario. After witnessing some funnel clouds, flooding rains, and large hail about an hour earlier, we repositioned to the southwest as some cloud towers near Woodstock held the prospect for more severe weather.
This thing will hold up to 4 Minox films at a time. A future version may be double layered. This version fits a standard stainless tall drum. PVC and fishing line, but needs a filler piece to reduce the required liquid volume.
Developing a bit of a lean. When Corona bloomed back in 2017, it did the same thing - developed a noticeable lean in the days before the flower became visible. The flower itself soon straightened itself out as it emerged from the protective sheaths, but it's interesting to see the same pattern again in another flower.
