Red drum larvae are placed into indoor round tanks and initially fed rotifers before weaning them to artificial pelleted diets. Culturing larval red drum indoors in recirculating systems provides almost total environmental control for fish culture.
The system is based on 6 bike stations, respectively staffed by two employees in two shifts. Ecovolis program has proven successful in dramatically increasing bicycle use in Tirana, which, formerly, was a city without a developed bicycle culture. Ecovolis program is the first project in Albania that provides low-income adults with commuter bicycles as well as a donating program for children bicycles. The program recently completed two major steps, opening new bike stations in the city of Durrës and integrating Tourist Information Point Service to the bicycles stations' structure.
History
The Tirana Community Bicycle Albania project won financial support from the George Soros Open Society Foundation Albania (OSFA). An even larger contribution came from the US-based Pedal for Progress organization, which donated 450 bicycles. Sixty of these were used road bikes, which were modified and painted by local technicians to serve as public bikes in the Ecovolis scheme. Another portion was set aside to donate to children and to activists and volunteers at PASS. Still another portion were diverted to the project's Eco Bicycle Shop, a social enterprise which sells bikes for USD 50-150 and reinvests profits for the service and maintenance of Ecovolis bicycles. The main objective of the program was to introduce the community to an inexpensive, environmental friendly form of transport -- the bicycle; to sell used bikes at low prices; to donate bikes to the children of needy families and to PASS volunteers; to establish a bike sharing-scheme in the city (Ecovolis); and to employ financially disadvantaged people and young students to operate the bike-sharing scheme.
System
Each Ecovolis station is staffed by two employees in two shifts and contains 30 -- 60 bicycles. In order to use the bicycles it is required to provide a personal identification document (such as passport or ID card) or by subscribing to the Ecovolis membership Card.
The first black and red bicycles, (also the colors of the Albanian flag) were donated from US-organization Pedal for Progress, (which collect and donate used bicycles). As these bicycles were of different types, converting them for safe and comfortable public use took months of work. The price per bicycle varies from 60 US$ to 90 US$ each. The bicycle is equipped with a front bicycle basket, a behind carrier, a comfortable saddle and a public fender with the Ecovolis sign.
The bicycle stations also provide touristic information to the visitors and a list of the city attractions. Moreover, being a non-profit social enterprise, during particular days the program offers free bicycle service, cycling courses, donations of bicycles and helmets for children in need, bike tours and a bicycle recycle program.
We all must be aware of our Solar System and its parts. It contains a number of small things that most of us forget after reading. The best way to learn about it is to learn with Extramarks' Solar System video tutorials. It is designed in a highly interactive manner for an engaged study of it. As it is scientifically proven that humans retain more with audiovisuals, therefore opt of it and learn about our solar system.
I have a pile system in my office. If I don't need anything in the pile for at least a year, I throw the entire pile out. Unfortunately, I'd need a back hoe to de-pile at this point.

Our neighbors seem lovely, but a bit inhospitable - so let's work on sprucing up the sturdy old homestead. It's likely we'll be spending our retirement here.

Secretary Landgraf and Public Health Director Dr. Karyl Rattay were joined by state Sen. Bruce Ennis and Reps. Ruth Briggs-King, Dave Wilson and Harvey Kenton in recognizing the 20th anniversary of Delaware’s Statewide Trauma System. “No matter where in Delaware someone suffers a traumatic injury, they enter into the same system of care,” Secretary Landgraf said. “We are only a handful of states to have an inclusive statewide trauma system.”
Dr. Rattay said the state’s trauma system is credited with saving 1,319 lives and caring for 101,000 seriously injured people since 2000, an almost 50 percent decrease in the mortality rate in that time. The Delaware mortality rate is now consistently lower than the national rate reported by the federal National Trauma Data Bank.
Fourteen individuals who have 20 years of continuous service to the trauma system were honored at the ceremony in the House chambers at Legislative Hall:
•Edward L. Alexander III, MD, FACS of Bayhealth Kent General Hospital
•Marilynn K. Bartley, MSN, RN of Christiana Care Health System
•Steven Blessing, MA, Chief, EMS and Preparedness Section, DPH
•Steven D. Carey, MD, FACS of Nanticoke Memorial Hospital
•Dean Dobbert, MD, FACEP, Kent County EMS Medical Director
•Deborah Eberly, BSN, RN, CEN, CNML of Bayhealth
•Gerard J. Fulda, MD,FACS of Christiana Care Health System
•Linda Laskowski Jones, MS, APRN, ACNS-BC, CEN, FAWM, FAAN of Christiana Care Health System
•MarySue Jones, RN, MS, State Trauma System Coordinator, OEMS, DPH
•James P. Marvel, Jr., MD, FACS of Beebe Healthcare
•Ross E. Megargel, DO, FACEP, State EMS Medical Director
•Stephen G. Murphy, MD, FACS of Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children
•Lawrence E. Tan, Esq., NRP, Chief of Emergency Medical Services, New Castle County
•Glen H. Tinkoff, MD, FACS of Christiana Care Health System
Sen. Ennis, who advocated for and helped to push through the enabling legislation, read a joint resolution recognizing the trauma system’s anniversary. Rep. Kenton in honoring Sen. Ennis’ role in creating the trauma system said, “We’ll never know, Senator, how many lives you saved.” Rep. Briggs-King in praising the statewide system of care said, “For a small state, you’ve made a huge statement.”
Trauma survivor Melanie Pertain shared how the system helped her and her family after they were involved in a serious motor vehicle crash on Concord Pike in 2013. “I received tremendous care in the ER and then the OR after we were transported to Christiana Hospital,” said Pertain, who spent two weeks in the surgical ICU after suffering a traumatic brain injury and other injuries in the accident. “My new mantra is ‘Be grateful, not hateful.’”
This is an exhibition I had last saturday with some friends @ Pinkghost, a lovely Gallery / Store in Hollywood, Florida.
Thanks to all the friends who came and Andrea & Paola that made this happen : )
I have been trying to use the zone system to determine exposures with a spot meter recently. Although the principles are quite simple I'm still having a few problems entirely getting my head around it. Sometimes I randomly add the extra n stops of exposure instead of subtracting, or vice versa.
This image was meant to be colour but I mistakenly had T-max in my camera. What with the wrong exposure and the wrong film how bad could it get? Added in the green back in using gimp.
These four grease points will serve via 3/16" supply pipes, various moving components directly under the cab. Although there is no engine under the cab, there's still a lot going on there and access for greasing is nigh on impossible. When I got the lorry, all this system had been chopped off and grease nipples had been fitted to the relative components. This probably seemed like a good idea at the time but, they never got greased and, were worn out and had to be repaired. More details and photos to come.
Seoul Railway System is a railway map of Seoul metropolitan area whose overall image is inspired by Tae-Geuk mark of the Korean national flag. Han River, flowing across the city from east to west, has been the driving force behind the development of the capital city and is the symbol of the long history of the Korean Peninsula.
This map also shows the territory of Han Yang, the old capital of the Jo-Seon Dynasty and Five Grand Palaces. This is the old Seoul marked by the Four Gates, and the growth of the city becomes clear when compared to the modern metropolitan area.
I managed to ride some of the Key System from San Francisco over the Bay Bridge to the East Bay before all that was abandoned. These were taken at the end of the F Line back in December 1956. These were articulated units, seats covered in leather. Some of these cars survive at the Rio Vista trolley museum.
The Agricultural Innovation Systems in Africa workshop brought together researchers and development practitioners who held discussions through oral plenary sessions, group work, open space sessions and a poster and market place session on Agricultural Innovation systems. It was co-organized by Joint Learning in Innovation Systems in African Agriculture (JOLISAA) and CCAFS on 29th - 31st May 2013.

Top: Linn Turntable of some sort.
2nd Shelf Left: CD Player; analog out ($20,000)
2nd Shelf Center: Network DAC; knows FLAC, MP3, AIFF, etc. The rep says it performs better than their CD player. I didn't ask the cost, but figure somewhere in the $20k range.
3rd Shelf Center: Analog Preamp
Bottom Shelf Left and Center: Power conditioners
The stack on the right consists of four 500 watt amplifiers each responsible for powering a single driver in the top most cluster of the right speaker and the bottom shelf is an electronic crossover. The cluster consists of a super tweeter, tweeter, midrange and mid bass.
Connection went something like this:
CD Player -> Preamp -> Crossover -> Amps -> Speaker
This was the best system of the show. Not by a long shot, but it was the best.

The flux system of the University of British Columbia during the 2016 summer campaign at Illisarvik. The eddy covariance system consisted of a CSAT-3 ultrasonic anemometer-thermometer, a Li-7500 open path infrared gas analyzer, and a Li-7700 open path methane analyzer. It was installed to quantify greenhouse gas exchange over a drained permafrost lake basin to quantify methane exchange.
