The weather was forecast to be pretty awful throughout the entire of the UK this weekend. Regardless of where we decided to visit we knew that there was greater than 90% chance of rain with a cloud base of 300-500m ASL. Pants!

For a change, we decided to head to my Dad's place in North West Cumbria.

Having been there before, I decided it'd be nice for me to take gemma to Crummock Water, famous for its leaping salmon in the autumn. After capturing a few shots at Crummock, we walked back to the car along the river Cocker.

(Taken from similar viewpoint to previous image taken on 1st.)

It should be noted that the blowing snow was from the ground only.

No snow had yet started to fall from the thickening frontal cloud layers.

Clearly, conditions become many times worse when fresh snowfall commences and the main cloud base lowers onto the mountains themselves to give a true whiteout.

Extremely difficult conditions which only the seasoned Cairngorm worker/climber/skier will not be shocked by.

Wind speeds of up to 175mph have been recorded on Cairngorm mountain near here. As a (now retired) meteorologist who first visited here in 1964, I can confirm that wind speeds are often much higher than the theoretical strength given by isobaric weather charts. The wind and windchill must never be underestimated when planning trips here, particularly if you have never personally experienced what can happen when the weather deteriorates.

Many have died of exposure in this beautiful but challenging region. A young German girl even succumbed to exposure in the month of August after her father took her across the plateau in wet weather.

A couple of weeks ago was the 40th anniversary of Scotland's worst mountaineering tragedy.

Even more sad was that seven teenagers (14-18 years of age) - who had put their lives and trust in more experienced, but still relatively young, leaders - who had shown a good deal of ignorance and bravado - were the innocent victims who were led onto the plateau (straight ahead in picture on top of head wall of coire), where they perished during 48 hours or so of smothering, drifting snow, wind speeds up to storm force, and sub-zero temperatures.

Relatively poor communications in those days meant that, though they set out onto the plateau in the early afternoon of a Saturday, they were not reported missing until later on Sunday and an organised search in appalling conditions was not able to be co-ordinated until Sunday night.

In an effort to align with the USAID Digital Strategy and recognize USAID Missions, Bureaus and partners that are empowering countries in a digital age, USAID launched the 2022 Digital Development Awards (the Digis), the fourth round of these awards. The Digis recognize and celebrate USAID-funded projects and activities that use digital technology to sustain open, secure, and inclusive digital ecosystems in order to improve measurable development and humanitarian-assistance outcomes. After receiving nearly 200 applications from USAID Missions around the world, five winners were selected for the 2022 Digital Development Awards, including USAID/Nepal: Building Hope Along the Karnali River Basin (BHAKARI), implemented by MercyCorps Nepal.

The remote Karnali River Basin is home to some of the most vulnerable and socially excluded communities in Nepal, and, when a crisis hits, reaching families with life-saving humanitarian assistance can be extremely difficult. Organizations often provide cash and vouchers as assistance so that participants can satisfy their own specific needs. However, it can be complex and costly to meet with rural participants in person to enroll them in these types of programs.

The USAID/Nepal Building Hope Along the Karnali River Basin (BHAKARI) program, implemented by Mercy Corps Nepal, deploys a suite of digital solutions to address these and other challenges throughout the phases of an emergency. BHAKARI partnered with Viamo, a global social enterprise, to transmit free, trustworthy, and accurate messages to complement the cash and voucher assistance to over 3 million people in Nepal. BHAKARI has used Viamo’s Platform (hotlines, IVR calls and mobile trainings) to provide training on cash and voucher assistance and spread educational, informational, and interactive messages about nutrition, hygiene and health, disasters, gender equality and social inclusion, and how to maximize effectiveness of cash assistance to ensure food security and nutrition.

BHAKARI also uses cloud-based software Laligurans, developed by Aria Technologies Nepal, for cash and voucher project management. The software helps BHAKARI register cash and voucher assistance participants, distribute cash and vouchers, and connect local vendors to wholesalers.

Pushpa, a single mother in a small village in Nepal’s remote Karnali River Basin, is part of a Community Disaster Management Committee (CDMC), along with many other women in her community. As part of this committee, the women work together to help their community prepare for and respond to natural disasters. Additionally, as part of BHAKARI’s emergency response program, she and other vulnerable households from her community receive support in the form of cash and vouchers which can be redeemed for food and supplies.

She shares, “The program staff use their phones to make a list of what we need…rice, eggs, soap. They provide us vouchers after which we come to the shop and receive the items from our list, which is packed and ready for us when we arrive. The items are provided to us after the shop owners scan our voucher in their phones.” These vouchers help Pushpa, and others in her community, provide for their families during the dry season when food is more scarce.

The BHAKARI program has intentionally designed each intervention to make cash and voucher assistance more accessible to the most marginalized and underserved groups—including poor laborers and their families, women, and people with disabilities. Interactive voice response “push messaging,” which disseminated key program messages by calling participants’ mobile phones, allowed BHAKARI to reach even those with low digital literacy.

BHAKARI has been incredibly collaborative, partnering with a national technology service provider, 101 local vendors, two transfer service providers, 22 regional and local agriculture input suppliers, and multiple departments of the Nepal Government and district governments. Additionally, private sector actors and local vendors can be mobilized quickly to respond to communities in remote geographical regions in the case of shocks or disasters.

Madonna and Child

FILIPINO

17th Century

Solid Ivory with traces of gilding and polychromy.

Heads of Virgin and child replaced. Repair to hand of Nino.

Provenance: Collection of Dr. Porfirio J. and Mrs. Socorro Rodriguez Callo

Purchased from Likhâ Antiques.

A solid ivory figure of the Madonna and Child carved during the 17th century. The Madonna stands on an "Ensaymada" (brioche) cloud base typical of early renditions of the Mother and Child. On this image, there is no angel or putti present. The Virgin's gown crosses her body laterally at the knees, folds gracefully backwards and falls in agitated folds at her feet. The Virgin is shown clasping the foot of the child typical of similar image of the period. This feature shows the influence of the Spanish sculptor Juan Martinez Montanes.

The telltale "tuck" or "suksuk" indicating this image's Philippine provenace is very much evident in this example. National Musuem sticker present in back as well as an inventory label from Likhâ.

Many similar renditions of the Madonna and Child made during the 17th century are published in: Jose, R. T. (1990). Images of faith: Religious ivory carvings from the Philippines. Pacific Asia Museum: Pasadena, CA, pp 65 - 70, 114 - 115.

A Palestra do Jinesh (@jinman) foi muito interessante e visionária, mas mostrou como os recursos de cloud computing já é uma realidade disponível e acessível.

Ele destacou o exemplo da Rede Social de Moda - byMK - que utiliza os serviços da Amazon Web Services.

"O byMK, por exemplo, utiliza atualmente vários serviços de cloud computing, ambos da Amazon. Todo o ambiente de produção está em “máquinas virtuais”. A forma de pagamento é por hora de uso e por uso de banda de rede, com preços bem atrativos."

blog.tecla.com.br/index.php/2010/03/bymk-rede-social-bras...

Neste whitepaper tem uma explicação MUITO BOA do tema da palestra.

"Amazon Web Services é um conjunto de serviços que fornece acesso programático à infraestrutura de computação pronta para ser usada da Amazon. A plataforma de computação robusta que a Amazon criou e refinou com o passar dos anos está agora disponível a todos que possuem acesso à Internet. A Amazon fornece vários serviços da Web, mas esta série focará somente nos serviços de bloco de construção básicos que satisfazem as necessidades principais da maioria dos sistemas: armazenamento, computação, sistema de mensagens e conjuntos de dados. "

Achei legal, pois descobri que o site que cria apresentações online - www.animoto.com - utiliza o AWS. Recomendo a todos testarem, pois é um serviço MUITO interessante e que deve consumir muito processamento do servidor.

The HOBOnet TEROS 21 is a wireless sensor that works with the HOBOnet system to measure both soil temperature and soil water potential, a more accurate way to measure how much water is available to plants. The HOBOnet TEROS 21 Sensor is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, and it doesn’t require calibration for different soil types or salinity.

The HOBOnet system is a cost-effective and scalable option for web-enabled monitoring of field conditions for applications such as crop management, research, and greenhouse operations. And because it’s wireless, you can deploy a network of sensors to easily monitor multiple points with a single system, while avoiding the risk of long cables that can interfere with field operations and are potentially vulnerable to nearby lightning strikes.

Sensors are easily linked to the network, and data can be accessed through HOBOlink®, Onset's innovative cloud-based software platform.

• Highlighted Features

• Soil water potential and soil temperature measurements with one device

• A more accurate picture of the amount of water available to plants than volumetric water content sensors

• No calibration required for soil type or salinity

• Long-lasting and maintenance-free with durable epoxy construction

• Wide measurement range: -9 to -2000 kPa

The HOBOnet TEROS 21 is a wireless sensor that works with the HOBOnet system to measure both soil temperature and soil water potential, a more accurate way to measure how much water is available to plants. The HOBOnet TEROS 21 Sensor is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, and it doesn’t require calibration for different soil types or salinity.

The HOBOnet system is a cost-effective and scalable option for web-enabled monitoring of field conditions for applications such as crop management, research, and greenhouse operations. And because it’s wireless, you can deploy a network of sensors to easily monitor multiple points with a single system, while avoiding the risk of long cables that can interfere with field operations and are potentially vulnerable to nearby lightning strikes.

Sensors are easily linked to the network, and data can be accessed through HOBOlink®, Onset's innovative cloud-based software platform.

• Highlighted Features
