FLUID RECOMMENDATIONS AND LEVEL CHECKS
Power steering fluid level should be checked at least once every 7,500 miles. Low fluid level usually causes a moaning sound as the wheels are turned (especially when standing still or parking) and increases steering wheel effort.
To prevent possible overfilling, check the fluid level only when the fluid has warmed to operating temperatures and the wheels are turned straight ahead (unloading the pump). If the level is low, fill the pump reservoir with suitable fluid until the fluid level measures full on the reservoir dipstick. Be sure to ONLY use GM power steering fluid, or equivalent.

Regardless of the price of the waste paper baler, regardless of weight. The price of each piece of waste paper baler for equipment is very cheap. In fact, this is a big misconception. At this stage, some agents produce net weight packaging from manufacturers, only considering the net weight of a single roll, rather than the calculation of the length of the whole bundle. Different waste paper baler manufacturers are likely to produce waste paper balers of different specifications and different thicknesses. . Similarly, different types of waste paper balers are different in thickness, which makes it possible for manufacturers of waste paper balers with the same length to produce waste paper balers of different specifications.
The whiter the waste paper baler, the better. Some waste paper balers are manufactured using purchased raw materials, but the color tone of the purchased raw materials waste paper baler is not white. The fineness of the equipment waste paper baler is actually fluorescent Brighteners, calcium bicarbonate, chemical raw materials,
This kind of fineness is different from the raw materials. The fineness of the waste paper baler is a bit completely transparent. Of course, the fineness of the added fluorescent brightener is too shallow. This type of fluorescent brightener will not only harm the waste paper baler. The support and adhesion strength will continue to cost the waste paper baler.

Medical Miracles: Doctors, Saints and Healing in the Modern World
Beginning with her experience, as a hematologist, in a case of leukemia that was applied as a miracle for the cause of Canada's first saint, Duffin will trace her work, as a historian, in the canonization files of the Vatican. She examined more than 1400 miracles used for 400 canonizations from the late 16thC to 2000. To her surprise, almost all (>96%) were healings of physical illness for which up-to-date medicine had also been used. The study generated insights into the use of the Vatican archives as a source for medical history, and it lead her to a reappreciation of the parallels between religion and medicine.
Jacalyn Duffin, MD, PhD is a hematologist and historian who has occupied the Hannah Chair of the History of Medicine at Queen's University since 1988. A former president of both the American Association for the History of Medicine and the Canadian Society for the History of Medicine, she is the author of eight books and many articles, holds several awards, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences. Her research focuses on disease, technology, religion, and health policy.
Ekaterina Lomperis is a PhD candidate in Theology at the University of Chicago Divinity School. Her dissertation explores the development of Christian religious understandings of illness, medicine, and healing in the early modern era. Her work has been supported by the National Endowment for Humanities, Princeton's Center for Theological Inquiry, and the Sixteenth Century Society. She is a co-author of Medicine and Religion: Texts and Contexts, to be published this year by the Johns Hopkins University Press.

Anise Hyssop seeds, Perennial Herb
Anise Hyssop Seeds (Agastache) Uses: Attracts Pollinators, Attracts Honeybees, Attracts Butterflies, Hummingbirds, Aromatic, Cut Flowers, Dried Flowers, Deer ResistantAgastache foeniculum (Lavender Hyssop) is a choice wildflower from the upper Mid-West, the plant blooms in summer with light blue, bee and butterfly attracting flower spikes.
Sowing: Direct sow Agastache seeds for sale on the surface of the soil in late fall. For spring planting, mix the anise hyssop seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30 days before planting. To start the seed indoors, sow the seed on the surface of the soil in a flat; keep the soil temperature between 70-75 degrees F with consistent moisture until germination.
Growing: This plant can be very drought tolerant and loves hot weather, but reaches its full potential with regular watering. It will not tolerate soggy, wet soil; it prefers sandy or rocky soil with good drainage. It easily reseeds itself, but unwanted volunteer plants can easily be moved or transplanted. Established plants can be divided. This plant attracts bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, and beneficial insects.
Harvesting: Fresh leaves can be individually harvested for tea, salads, or medicinal use throughout the growing season; in the morning after the dew has dried is the best time for harvesting. Take individual leaves first from the bottom of the stem and work up to the top. Do not remove more than 60% of the plant at any one time.

The Price for Their Pound of Flesh:
The Value of the Enslaved from Womb to Grave,
in the Building of a Nation
Boston: Beacon Press | 2017
The Price for Their Pound of Flesh is the first book to explore the economic value of enslaved people through every phase of their lives—including from before birth to after death—in the American domestic slave trades. Covering the full "life cycle" (including preconception, infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, the senior years, and death), historian Daina Berry shows the lengths to which slaveholders would go to maximize profits. She draws from over ten years of research to explore how enslaved people responded to being appraised, bartered, and sold. By illuminating their lives, Berry ensures that the individuals she studies are regarded as people, not merely commodities. Analyzing the depth of this monetization of human property will change the way we think about slavery, reparations, capitalism, and nineteenth-century medical education.
"Daina Ramey Berry's harrowing account of how slaveholders turned every aspect of a slave's life into a commodity to be sold on markets—from the reproductive possibilities of enslaved women to the corpses of deceased slaves—is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding American history, or our contemporary dilemmas."
"Daina Berry has written the richest account of the many ways in which an enslaved African American's body was bought and sold throughout her or his lifetime. From the cradle to the grave and beyond, enslavers priced black bodies based on their imagined fitness for labor, sexual exploitation, use as collateral, and even their value after death as dissection cadavers. In horrific detail, Berry shows that there was a price tag placed on every pound of flesh. She also shows the efforts of enslaved people to assert that their lives had values beyond the money that could be rendered from their muscles and extracted from their bones. Out of the certainty that their souls were pearls beyond price, black people fought to make room for their own system of human values."

Brinstone is a particularly hard form of stone with above solid density found on numerous worlds, including but certainly not limited to Tallon IV, Aether/Dark Aether and Bryyo. Since its compact atomic structure makes it strong, it is used as a reliable building material in constructing foundations but rarely on war-torn worlds due to its relative fragility to even the smallest of concussive blasts.
A common way to shatter Brinstone obstacles is to fire a missile, which is the only way known to famous space hunter Samus Aran could figure to move through the obstacles during several missions where she encountered the substance, considering her current weapons complement at those times.

NEOPERL® flow regulator: excellent eco-balance
When you install a flow regulator in your shower head, you save water and energy. However, how much water and energy is consumed and how much CO2 emitted to produce the flow regulator in the first place? What is the relation between expenditures and savings?
An eco-balance study by the Technische Universität Berlin was conducted to answer these questions. The results could not be clearer. With the flow regulator in use for ten years, the resources consumed during its production process are recouped after a few days' use.

Hippocampal remapping as hidden state inference
TitleHippocampal remapping as hidden state inference
Publication TypeJournal Article
Year of Publication2020
AuthorsSanders, H, Wilson, MA, Gershman, SJ
Date Published06/2020
Cells in the hippocampus tuned to spatial location (place cells) typically change their tuning when an animal changes context, a phenomenon known as remapping. A fundamental challenge to understanding remapping is the fact that what counts as a ‚Äò‚Äòcontext change‚Äô‚Äô has never been precisely defined. Furthermore, different remapping phenomena have been classified on the basis of how much the tuning changes after different types and degrees of context change, but the relationship between these variables is not clear. We address these ambiguities by formalizing remapping in terms of hidden state inference. According to this view, remapping does not directly reflect objective, observable properties of the environment, but rather subjective beliefs about the hidden state of the environment. We show how the hidden state framework can resolve a number of puzzles about the nature of remapping.

UNEP report on scarce resources
14/07/2011 – by D+C | E+Z
© David Gray/Reuters
Worker digging next to a pipeline in Baotou, China
The first UNEP report mainly focuses on high-tech metals with a low recycling ratio of one per cent. The authors explain that greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced by millions of tons per year if collection systems were expanded in developing countries. They estimate that it is two to ten times more efficient to recycle used metal than to make new metal from ore.
The second report says humanity will increasingly deplete its stock of natural resources if the global economy continues to grow without changing consumption patterns. If resources continue to be used as they are today, the global consumption of minerals, ores, fossil energy and biomass will triple by 2050. The UNEP experts warn that the global economy cannot continue to grow at the expense of resources and call for more recycling and conservation.
The report proposes three scenarios. In the most ambitious one, industrial countries would reduce their resource use two thirds, while developing countries would stay at the current level. The researchers say that global resource consumption could then be maintained at the level of 2000. The European Commission plans to use both studies for its upcoming "Roadmap towards a resource-efficient Europe", to be launched in autumn. (ph)

Check out the following resources for building more resilient communities.
Vermont River Corridor Base Maps
The Agency of Natural Resources has posted a new interactive base map of Vermont's river corridors online. This free tool is available to help communities and agencies develop flood-resilient plans and policies. A river corridor is delineated to provide for the least erosive form toward which a river will evolve during floods over time. River corridor maps guide State actions to protect, restore, and maintain naturally stable meanders and riparian areas to minimize erosion hazards. Land within and immediately abutting a river corridor may be at higher risk to fluvial erosion during floods.
Vermont Economic Resilience Initiative (VERI)
The Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development launched the VERI project after Tropical Storm Irene to help communities build back even stronger. The goal of the project is to help communities recover quickly from disasters, minimize interruptions to businesses and the local economy, and reduce flood recovery costs. VERI completed community processes in five Vermont towns (Barre, Brandon, Brattleboro, Enosburg and Woodstock), resulting in detailed action steps and recommendations. The team is currently completing final reports and moving toward recommendations. While the reports are tailored to these communities, the VERI framework, recommendations and sample projects could be applied in any community.
Flood Ready Vermont
Flood Ready Vermont is a central repository of information, resources, connections and data related to flooding and flood resilience in Vermont. The site is designed to help communities become flood ready together – developing in safer places, protecting the functions of the watersheds that protect us, adapting our critical infrastructure and preparing for emergencies. Flood Ready also offers a discussion listserv and links to many related organizations and services.
Disaster Recovery and Long-Term Resilience Planning in Vermont
After Tropical Storm Irene, the EPA's Smart Growth Technical Assistance program assisted Vermont and local communities in the Mad River Valley in developing strategies to plan and prepare for future flooding events. This report provides substantial guidance on ways that communities can "incorporate smart growth and sustainable community approaches into their development plans, regulations and hazard mitigation plans to increase their flood resilience." The recommendations include embracing "smart growth" development patterns (that "create attractive, distinctive and walkable communities"), using resources efficiently, and preserving Vermont's cultural and environmental assets.
Vermont 2-1-1 is the number you dial to find out about hundreds of important community resources, like emergency food and shelter, disability services, counseling, senior services, health care, child care, drug and alcohol programs, legal assistance, transportation needs, educational and volunteer opportunities, and much more. The call center can help people sign up for the Citizen Assistance Registry in case of an Emergency (CARE), which tracks information about people who may need special assistance in a an emergency or evacuation.
Floodproofing Case Studies
The Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development drafted three short case studies documenting how Vermonters took proactive steps to floodproof important buildings – and the benefits of those steps during future floods. The resource includes studies of the New England Youth Theatre building in Brattleboro, a historic home in Jeffersonville, and the community center in Lincoln. The resource includes information on specific steps and costs of floodproofing techniques.
Disaster Recovery Guide for Businesses
Published by the Vermont Small Business Development Center, this guide was developed to be a working tool for businesses as they decide how to move forward after a disaster. The guide walks business owners through an assessment process (both personal and business-related), helps them make important decisions about whether or not to re-open, and shares important steps about how to create a recovery plan and move forward if they choose.
Emergency Relief and Assistance Fund (ERAF)
ERAF provides State funding to match federal public assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) after federally-declared disasters. Eligible public costs are reimbursed by federal taxpayers at 75%. For disasters after October 23, 2014, the State of Vermont will contribute an additional 7.5% toward the costs. For communities that take specific steps to reduce flood damage, the State will contribute 12.5% or 17.5% of the total cost.
Resilient Communities Scorecard
The Vermont Natural Resources Council's Resilient Communities Scorecard "helps Vermont communities assess their resilience to the growing threat of community disruption caused by climate change and energy scarcity, among other challenges. The Scorecard focuses on key areas including land use, transportation, energy, and healthy community design. Knowing where your community stands is a first step toward developing goals, action steps, and investment strategies that build or reinforce resilience. This tool builds on the original Smart Growth Scorecard, which assessed how well municipalities were prepared for the pressures of changing settlement patterns, especially sprawl. The updated tool will help communities address today's difficult challenges – like incremental and scattered development, rising energy costs, and climate change – and help position them to meet those challenges."
Planning for Flood Recovery and Long-Term Resilience in Vermont
This report on smart growth approaches for disaster-resilient communities stems from the EPA and FEMA's technical assistance work in Vermont after Tropical Storm Irene. The assistance focused on incorporating smart growth principles into state policies, local development regulations, and Hazard Mitigation Plans to increase community flood resilience. Planning for Flood Recovery and Long-Term Resilience in Vermont (2014) includes general strategies for flood resilience and disaster recovery, local land use policy options, and statewide policy options and strategies.
Smart Growth America's Resilience Resources
Smart Growth America offers an online database of resilience resources, geared toward municipal and state leaders interested in recovery, mitigation and adaptation efforts. Resources are organized into four categories: private sector engagement and economic impacts, local and regional best practices for land use and resilience, state coordinating role, and data sources.
Community Resilience Organizations
Community Resilience Organizations (CROs) are local teams that engage residents and town leaders in climate adaptation, disaster preparedness and hazard mitigation, while strengthening local collaboration and social cohesion. CROs break down community silos by bringing together a diverse mix of stakeholders involved in resilience and hazard mitigation: emergency management, conservation, social services, government and more. Through an annual Day for CROing and ongoing projects, teams engage youth and the broader community to collaborate on critical projects that will make the town stronger and safer, simultaneously celebrating local spirit and building community. The CROs organization provides backbone support to local teams. We share resources, provide technical assistance and capacity building, help fundraise, and host an annual summit for town CROs teams across the state. CROs launched in six Vermont pilot towns in 2015: Hartford, Jeffersonville, Londonderry, Putney, Richmond and Waterbury.
Resilience: A Report on the Health of Vermont's Environment
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources released this 2011 report to investigate what we can do to make our ecosystems and communities more resilient in the face of flooding and other environmental threats. The report considers strategies for addressing climate change, reducing flood damage, reducing air pollution, cleaning up Lake Champlain, protecting lake shores, increasing forest resilience, conserving habitat, minimizing waste, building resilient infrastructure, and drawing kids outdoors.
Vermont Long-Term Disaster Recovery Group and Vermont Disaster Relief Fund
The Vermont Long-Term Disaster Recovery Group (VLTDRG) was established as an independent non-profit organization to specifically coordinate resources and raise and deliver donor dollars to those in need from the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund. The Vermont Disaster Relief Fund remains engaged in a campaign that has ensured more than $7.6 million in funds are available for direct recovery assistance for the unmet needs of Vermonters impacted by natural disasters.
Vermont's Roadmap to Resilience is a comprehensive group of 23 recommendations to increase Vermont's preparedness for the effects of climate change and extreme weather impacts. It stems from the 18-month long Resilient Vermont process, a multi-stakeholder research and planning project that involved more than 400 Vermonters from diverse organizations and disciplines. The Roadmap recommendations are organized into four categories: elevate and integrate emergency management, know our risks, work together and learn together, and align rules and investment for stronger communities.


Protocol considerations for a prefix-caching proxy for multimedia streams
Stephane Gruber, Jennifer L. Rexford, Andrea Basso
Research output: Contribution to journalConference article
29 Scopus citations
Abstract
The increasing popularity of multimedia streaming applications introduces new challenges in content distribution. Web-initiated multimedia streams typically experience high start-up delay, due to large protocol overheads and the poor delay, throughput, and loss properties of the Internet. Internet service providers can improve performance by caching the initial segment (the prefix) of popular streams at proxies near the requesting clients. The proxy can initiate transmission to the client while simultaneously requesting the remainder of the stream from the server. This paper analyzes the challenges of realizing a prefix-caching service in the context of the IETF's Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), a multimedia streaming protocol that derives from HTTP. We describe how to exploit existing RTSP features, such as the Range header, and how to avoid several round-trip delays by caching protocol information at the proxy. Based on our experiences, we propose extensions to RTSP that would ease the development of new multimedia proxy services. In addition, we discuss how caching the partial contents of multimedia streams introduces new challenges in cache coherency and feedback control. Then, we briefly present our preliminary implementation of prefix caching on a Linux-based PC, and describe how the proxy interoperates with the RealNetworks server and client.

Emission Prediction with Detailed Chemistry 2019-01-2215
Numerical modeling of engine combustion products requires detailed chemistry and therefore large computational resources and time. This becomes a constraint when engine optimization at system level is desired. In this paper, a 1D modeling approach is proposed for fast computation to predict emission level at various engine running conditions. A new chemical solver within 1D framework is developed along with suitable reduced chemical mechanism. The reduced reaction scheme is validated against detailed chemistry on 0D and 1D reactors. It is confirmed that the new fast 1D solver achieves more than 100X speed improvement. Now larger mechanisms can be used for better accuracy with reasonable turnaround time. This methodology allows virtual engine emission map generation, with a refined emission map completed within 12 hours of computational time. When a transient response is considered, the critical first 600 seconds of FTP driving cycle is calculated within 1 hour, based on a reduced fast running 1D model.

for closing client connections, session.stop and session.close. Both methods disconnect the client. The difference is that stop also tells the client not to reconnect. You should use close when a recoverable server error occurs, and stop when the client is in an unrecoverable invalid state.
For example, if an exception occurs handling a message from a client, you may want to call close() to force the client to reconnect. On the other hand, if a browser is trying to connect using an old version of your app, you should call stop(). In the browser, you can handle the stop message with a notice to refresh the browser tab.
Events
The client is an event emitter. It fires the following events:
 - close (reason): The client connection was closed. This will happen for a variety of reasons (timeouts, explicit disconnection from the client, disconnection from the server, etc). Once a client has closed, it is gone forever. If the client reconnects, it will do so by establishing a new session.
 - message (data): The server received a message from the client. The data object will be a javascript object.
 - state changed (oldstate, newstate): The client's state changed. Clients start in the 'init' state. They move to the 'ok' state when the session is established then go to the 'closed' state. If a client reconnects, they will create an entirely new session. init -> ok -> closed are the only three valid state transitions.
Client API
For the most part, the client API is identical to websockets.
var socket = new BCSocket(hostname, opts);
opts is optional, and if it exists it should be an object which can contain the following properties:
 - appVersion: Your application's protocol version. This is passed to the server-side browserchannel code, in through your session handler as session.appVersion
 - prev: The previous BCSocket object, if one exists. When the socket is established, the previous bcsocket session will be disconnected as we reconnect.
 - reconnect: Tell the socket to automatically reconnect when its been disconnected.
 - failFast: Make the socket report errors immediately, rather than trying a few times first.
 - crossDomainXhr: Set to true to enable the cross-origin credential flags in XHR requests. The server must send the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials header and can't use wildcard access control hostnames. See: _URL_
 - affinity: Set to null to disable session affinity token passing.
 - affinityParam: Session affinity tokens are sent in the query string as the GET parameter a by default. Your application may override the variable name if there is a query string conflict.
There are a couple of differences from the websocket API:
 - You can (and are encouraged to) call send() using JSON objects instead of mere strings. JSON serialization is handled by the library, and works in all browsers.
 - You can send messages immediately before the session is established. This removes a roundtrip before client messages can arrive on the server.
 - Browserchannel sessions have reconnect support. You should register socket.onconnecting = function() {...} to send any messages which need to be sent as the session is established. This will be called both when the socket is first established and when the session reconnects.
Caveats
 - It doesn't do RPC.
 - Currently there's no websocket support. So, its higher bandwidth on modern browsers. On iOS you'll sometimes see a perpetual loading spinner in the top black bar.
How to rebuild the client
The client uses google's closure library & compiler. There's a couple small bugs that google still hasn't fixed in their library (and probably never will), so I have a patch file kicking around.
Rebuilding the client library is annoying, so I keep an up to date compiled copy in dist/.
 1. Download the closure library as a sibling of this repository
 cd ..
 git clone _URL_
 git checkout -q df47692b1bacd494548a3b00b150d9f6a428d58a
 cd closure-library

 2. Download the closure compiler
 curl _URL_ > compiler-latest.tar.gz
 tar -xvf compiler-latest.tar.gz
 mv compiler-latest/compiler.jar .

 3. Patch the library
 cd closure/
 patch -p0 < ../../node-browserchannel/closure-*.patch

 4. Build
 cd ../../node-browserchannel
 make

Caveats
Java ~1.7 is a hard requirement.
Building this project with Java ~1.6 will fail, and may even fail silently.
Known issue with latest closure-library.
Until the bug introduced in closure-library#83c6a0b9 is resolved upstream, use closure-library#df47692

When it comes to simple gifts that you can make for Mother's Day, painting a card or creating a picture are among our first thoughts. Finger painting is a great way to let your kiddos express themselves and create personalized art. However, let's not forget about the messy and highly toxic situation that's in conventional children's paint. It's important to choose paints that are safe for your kids, especially if their skin is going to be exposed to it, and those little paint covered fingers wander into their mouths.
All you need are some hands, fingers, and some non-toxic paint! For this tutorial, we are using our Children's Earth Paint Kit! It is 100% non-toxic and made with real earth (Thank you Mother Nature)!
Step 1. Mix the powder paint with water using a one-part paint to one-part water ratio. The paint can be used on paper, rocks, wood, fabric, and other surfaces so get creative!
Step 2: Paint the palms of you or your little ones hands to make flowers
You can also paint their palm half green and half brown to create a potted plant and can use their fingers and thumb to make flowers at the top of each finger!
Of course, no card is complete without a sweet poem.
"I've made some Mother's Day flowers
with my fingers and my thumb,
so you'll always have these memories
for all the years to come!"
Happy Mother's Day!
Written by our Intern, Lucia Corona, with a bit of guidance from our Earth Paint team!

specifics of how the goal is to be satisfied is not described by the goal. This can be described through task decomposition.
Softgoals are similar to (hard) goals except that the criteria for the goal's satisfaction are not clear-cut, it is judged to be sufficiently satisfied from the point of view of the actor. The means to satisfy such goals are described via contribution links from other elements. The notion of softgoal satisfaction is described by the term satisficed meaning sufficiently satisfied. The converse is still described as denied.
The actor wants to accomplish some specific task, performed in a particular way. A description of the specifics of the task may be described by decomposing the task into further sub-elements.
The actor desires the provision of some entity, physical or informational. This type of elements assumes there are no open issues or questions concerning how the entity will be achieved.
A belief is a condition about the world that the actor holds to be true. The actual degree of truth (As indicated by evaluation labels) is influence by contributions from other beliefs. A belief is distinct from a goal in that the actor has no explicit desire to make the specified condition become true. Beliefs can effect other elements in the model via contribution links. Such links can effect other links, saying that this belief effects the effect of an element on another, or can have a direct effect on softgoals.

These links indicate a relationship between an end, and a means for attaining it. The "means" is expressed in the form of a task, since the notion of task embodies how to do something, with the "end" is expressed as a goal. In the graphical notation, the arrowhead points from the means to the end.
3.2.4 Decomposition Links
A task element is linked to its component nodes by decomposition links. A task can be decomposed into four types of elements: a subgoal, a subtask, a resource, and/or a softgoal - corresponding to the four types of elements. The task can be decomposed into one to many of these elements. These elements can also be part of dependency links in Strategic Dependency model(s) when the reasoning goes beyond an actor's boundary.
- Task-Goal Decomposition: Subgoal. In this kind of decomposition it is not specified how the goal is to be achieved, allowing alternatives to be considered.
- Task-Task Decomposition: subtask. When a task is specified as a subcomponent of a (higher) task, this restricts the higher task to that particular course of action.
- Task-Resource Decomposition: resourceFor: The entity represented by the resource is not considered problematic by the actor. The main concern is whether it is available (and from whom, if it is an external dependency).
- Task SoftGoal Decomposition: softgoalFor: When a softgoal is a component in a task decomposition, it serves as a quality goal for that task, and thus guides (or restricts) the selection among alternatives in further decomposition of that and other tasks.
3.2.5 Contribution Links
A positive contribution strong enough to satisfice a softgoal.
Either a make or a help contribution, a positive contribution whose strength is unknown.
A partial positive contribution, not sufficient by itself to satisfice the softgoal.
A contribution to a softgoal whose polarity is unknown.
A negative contribution sufficient enough to deny a softgoal.
Either a break or a hurt contribution, a negative contribution whose strength is unknown.
A partial negative contribution, not sufficient by itself to deny the softgoal.
The parent is satisficed if any of the offspring are satisficed.
The parent is satisficed if all of the offspring are satisficed.

Can fitness differences be a cause of evolution?
Grant Ramsey
The causal status of fitness and natural selection is increasingly called into doubt in the philosophical literature. For example, Elliott Sober argues that the fitness of individual organisms is holistic; i.e., it is dependent osn causally independent factors like census size. Others have argued that fitness differences cannot properly be causes of evolutionary change. In this paper I directly challenge the holistic conclusion, and thereby shed light on the debates over the causal status of fitness. I show that the causalists and statisticalists are—to a large degree—arguing past each other. There is a plurality of fitness concepts; some are legitimately causal, while others seem to be based, at least in part, on purely statistical parameters. But such facts say nothing about whether fitness in general is causal or statistical.
Phylogeny as population history
Joel D. Velasco
Developmental causation and the problem of homology
David A. Baum
While it is generally agreed that the concept of homology refers to individuated traits that have been inherited from common ancestry, we still lack an adequate account of trait individuation or inheritance. Here I propose that we utilize a counterfactual criterion of causation to link each trait with a developmental-causal (DC) gene. A DC gene is made up of the genetic information (which might or might not be physically contiguous in the genome) that is needed for the production of the organismic attributes that comprise the trait. I argue that individuated traits—phenes—correspond to organismic features that are caused by DC genes. Using such an approach, we can define a DC map, which shows the relations between each pair of phenes and provides a succinct summary of genotype-phenotype relationships and phenotypic complexity. Phenes in parents and offspring are judged to be homologous if their DC genes are composed of orthologous genetic factors. When comparing more distantly related organisms, traits are homologous when linked by a chain of parent-offspring homologs along the path of ancestry that links the two organisms. There are three possible ways to deal with the potential for multiple equivalent DC genes: maximal, minimal, and consensus homology. Whereas maximal homology has limited utility, the other two approaches have value and can help to guide research at the intersection of evolution and development.

g)}}} \nonumber\]
 The rate constant at some temperature is 0.100 /min with an initial concentration of butadiene ([B]) of 1 M. Calculate the concentration of butadiene at 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 70 minutes.
 Solution
 Many of the following values can be evaluated without using a calculator.
 t / min 0 1 2 5 10 20 30 70
 [B]/[M] 1.0 0.909 0.833 0.667 0.50 0.33 0.25 0.125
 Discussion:
 This is an applicaiton of this equation:
 \[\mathrm{\dfrac{1}{[A]}- \dfrac{1}{[A]_o}}= k t\]
 Exercise
 From the data and results in Example 2:
 1. Calculate k. (What is the rate constant?)
 2. Calculate the half life for [B] = 1.0. (What is the half life for an initial concentration of 1.0?)
 3. Calculate [B] when t = 40 min.
 4. Calculate t when [B] = 0.100. (Estimate the time required for 90% of B to polymerize.)
 5. How does the total pressure change with time?
 Questions
 1. For the polymerization of butadiene,
 \(\ce{2 C4H_{6\large{(g)}} \rightarrow C8H_{12\large{(g)}}}\)
 the rate of decreasing of partial pressure of butadiene is 2 kPa/min. What is the rate of increasing of partial pressure of (octadiene)?
 Hint: 1 kPa/min
 Discussion -
 Consider the relationship
 \(-\ce{\dfrac{d[C4H6]}{dt}} = \ce{2 \dfrac{d[C8H12]}{dt}}\)
 2. A cylinder containing pure butadiene has a pressure of 101 kPa. After 10 minutes, the total pressure drops to 95 kPa. What is the partial of \(\ce{C8H12}\) (octadiene) formed?
 \(\ce{2 C4H_{6\large{(g)}} \rightarrow C8H_{12\large{(g)}}}\)
 Hint: 6 kPa
 Discussion -
 The drop in pressure is 101-95 = 6 kPa. Consider the reaction:
 \(\begin{alignat}{3}
 \ce{2 &C4H_{6\large{(g)}} \rightarrow\: &&C8H_{12\large{(g)}}}\\
 \ce{&12\: kPa &&\:\:6\: kPa}
 \end{alignat}\)
 Since two moles of butadiene combine to give one mole octadiene, the difference in total pressure is the partial pressure of octadiene, 12 kPa of butadiene converted to 6 kPa of octadiene. What is the partial pressure of butadiene?
 3. At some temperature, the total pressure of a butadiene cylinder drops from 101 kPa to 95 kPa in 10 min. The polymerization is known to be second order. What is the rate constant?
 Hint: 0.000133 kPa/min
 Discussion -
 The reaction is:
 \(\ce{2 C4H_{6\large{(g)}} \rightarrow C8H_{12\large{(g)}}}\)
 Since the total pressure drops from 101 to 95 kPa after 10 min, the partial pressure of \(\ce{C4H6}\) goes from 101 to [101 - 2*(101-95)] = 89 kPa. Using the integrated rate law:
 \(\dfrac{1}{89} - \dfrac{1}{101} = k \times 10\)
 \(k =\mathrm{1.33\,e^{-4}}\)
 What is the total pressure when the reaction is completed?
 4. Radioactive decay always follows first order kinetics. Carbon-11 is a radioactive isotope of carbon, and its half life is 20.3 min. What is the decay (or rate) constant?
 Hint: 0.0341 /m
 Skill -
 Evaluate half-life according to conditions. Apply the equation,
 \(k \times t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \ln 2\)
 in this case.

A closer look: Tick Paralysis in Horses
Ticks typically seek out places where the skin is thin, so they're often found on the chest, under the jaw, in the ears and mane, along the flanks, and or under the tail. There is no association between the severity of symptoms and the number of ticks found. Most cases of tick paralysis have only 1-2 ticks found on the horse when symptoms develop.
Horses that are unable to stand are at a high risk of significant muscle and skin damage. The body weight of the horse compresses these tissues and restricts blood flow, ultimately leading to tissue death.
Horses are considered somewhat resistant to tick paralysis, particularly in North America. There is only one report of tick paralysis in horses in North America to date. It is more common in Australia, due to the potency of the Australian species of tick's toxin. Although it is rare, tick paralysis is a life-threatening emergency. Any horse that is unable to stand, having difficulty swallowing, or having difficulty breathing requires immediate veterinary care.
The females of certain species of ticks release toxins into the circulatory system when they feed on an animal. These toxins affect muscle contraction, resulting in widespread paralysis of all muscles. Ticks that are known to produce paralysis toxins include:
- Australian paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus)
- Rocky Mountain wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni)
- American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis)
The highest risk for tick paralysis is in the spring and early summer, when female ticks are most active.
Horses with tick paralysis are extremely weak, and are unable to contract their muscles properly.
Testing and diagnosis
Diagnosis is straightforward if ticks are identified on the horse. There is no specific test for tick paralysis. If no ticks are found on the horse, then an investigation into other causes of weakness is carried out. In these cases, administering an antiparasitic treatment to kill any ticks currently feeding on the horse is prudent, as the large size of the horse and extensive hair coat can easily hide the small parasite. If the horse improves after antiparasitic administration, then a presumed diagnosis of tick paralysis is made.
Steps to Recovery
Treatment of tick paralysis depends on the horse's location. In Australia, an antitoxin is available for paralysis tick bites. There is no antitoxin available for Dermacentor toxins, the causative agent of tick paralysis in North America.
Removal of any feeding ticks is a key component of treatment. Symptoms generally do not resolve until the feeding ticks are removed. Horses require significantly more supportive care when they are unable to stand compared to other species. The massive body weight of a horse easily compresses tissue, preventing appropriate blood flow. Supportive care for recumbent horses includes:
- Placing the horse on padding such as mattresses, blankets, or pillows
- Turning the horse over multiple times a day
- Head protection to prevent the horse from scratching its eyes on the ground
- IV fluids, which often includes added nutrition for horses unable to eat
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- Antibiotics, if infections develop
The symptoms of tick paralysis continue until the tick is removed from the horse's skin. With treatment, the prognosis of tick paralysis is fair, with about 75% of horses surviving their paralysis episode.
The high mortality rate compared to tick paralysis in dogs and cats is primarily due to the complications that arise from horses laying down for long periods of time. Similarly, many surviving horses develop secondary complications such as skin sloughing, eye ulcers, and muscle damage due to prolonged recumbency. Most of these complications are treatable with few long-term effects.
Tick paralysis is not directly contagious, however other horses in the same environment as an affected horse are also likely to acquire the ticks that cause paralysis. Due to the relatively high mortality rate, prevention is key in areas where tick paralysis is common. Tick prevention strategies include:
- Keeping pasture grass short and reducing dense vegetation in pastures
- Examining horses daily for ticks, particularly focusing on under the jaw, under the tail, and in the groin
- Using topical antiparasitic products such as sprays or pour-ons before turning horses out into pastures
Is Tick Paralysis in Horses common?
Tick paralysis is extremely uncommon in horses. There have been occasional reports in Australia. There is only one report in North America to date, affecting two Miniature Horses.
- Supportive care
- Antitoxin if available

The Meaning of What Is Interference in Physics
After the source emits two photons nearly simultaneously, they're likely to be headed for the exact same spot on the object, but one may visit the camera instead. Echo is a repetition of sound on account of the reflection of original sound by a big and difficult obstacle. For instance, the image of a perfect shoe will appear to be a left shoe.
A timeless instance of specular reflection is a mirror, which is made specifically for specular buy research papers reflection. Sound reflection can impact the acoustic space. In general, reflection and refraction are two fundamental facts connected with light, which are studied along.
Fortunately, the rules for adding waves are rather straightforward. The superposition of the majority of waves produces a mixture of constructive and destructive interference and can change from place to place and time to time. Any type of wave exhibits this behavior, with the suitable set-up.
The building height matches the condition for preparing a standing wave for that specific height. It isn't a indication that the aircraft just overcame the sound barrier, but instead a indication that the aircraft is traveling faster than sound. The quantity this website of flow and the quantity of change in pressure differs at various places in the bore.
The What Is Interference in Physics Game
Reduce the amount of devices you have operating in the exact same area. Also, make certain the units agree together. If they're non-essential devices including Bluetooth radios, look at disconnecting them.
The purpose of maximum positive displacement on a transverse wave is called crest. Such a transformation is known as isometric transformation. Increasing the worth of one of these parameters needs a drop in the sum of both of the other parameters.

The Pain of What Is Interference in Physics
You won't be ready to assemble a rocket. In some instances, faults like poor aerial _URL_ connections, can cause be the reason for the interference. This sort of interference is known as Destructive Interference.
Wavefront A wavefront is understood to be the continuous locus of all of the particles of a medium, which are vibrating in exactly the same phase. Interference is basically an energy redistribution procedure. It usually refers to the interaction of waves that are correlated or coherent with each other.
The result is most noticeable once the gap is the exact same size as the wavelength. The quantity of light reflected by means of an object, and the way that it is reflected, is highly dependent on the smoothness or texture of the surface. Specular reflection is liable for the glare.
A mirror is made from glass that is coated with a uniform layer of a very reflective material like powder. It is transmitted through the rod and can be seen on the other extremity. Light that's transmitted reaches the bottom surface and might once more be transmitted or reflected.
The Appeal of What Is Interference in Physics
The sorts of structured reflection outlined within this module are made to link one's service experiences to personal, along with community, development. It is crucial to have an exhaustive knowledge in reflection and scattering to be able to excel in such fields. The 2 sources of light ought to be very close to one another.
The shifts aren't symmetric. Spiritual fulfillment may just be a concern during times of worship. In computing, the idea of superposition has important implications for the manner information is going to be processed and stored later on.

Lucky Birds
birds, lyrebirds, city, cities, forests, blackbirds, song, dance, cloaca, evolution
By Molly Michelson
Just like humans, some birds have better luck than others. From city life to dance moves to penises, the natural endowments of birds vary in so many ways! Several recent science publications demonstrate diversity in the bird world, so we thought we'd provide a sampling for you…
A study last week in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B determines that city birds keep much longer hours than their forest-dwelling brethren. Researchers studied European blackbirds (Turdus merula) in different environments in Germany and discovered that the artificial lights and noises of the city mean the blackbirds start their activities earlier in the day and keep on going later in the evening.
In fact, studies in the lab revealed that the city birds' biological clocks were sped up compared to the forest birds'. And the authors are convinced that birds aren't the only animals affected by city life. From the abstract:
Urban environments can significantly modify biologically important rhythms in wild organisms.
City dwellers, take note!
Australia's superb lyrebird males possess some of the most brilliant plumage in the avian world, and researchers have now determined that the feathered creature is also a brilliant song-and-dance bird. Scientists found that the birds have a distinct dance for each of four distinct songs. Wired posted a short video of a male lyrebird strutting its stuff that you have to hear and see to believe!
This mating ritual demonstrates that "the coordination of independently produced repertoires of acoustic and movement signals is not a uniquely human trait," according to a recent publication in Current Biology.
Maybe the male lyrebirds song-and-dance routine makes up for the fact that these males have no penises. 97% of birds simply lack the organ, using an opening called the cloaca instead. Originally, all birds had penises, but along the evolutionary path, most birds lost them. There are theories for why the organ was no longer needed (lighter for flight, more female control over mates), but the reason is still not known.
However, a new study, also in Current Biology, uncovers the mechanism behind the loss. Researchers compared embryos of the well-endowed Pekin duck (it has a corkscrew penis that can grow the entire length of its body) to those of the cloaca-ed rooster and found that both embryos begin to form penises, but around day eight or nine, the roosters' stop growing. The scientists determined that one gene, Bmp4, caused the rooster embryo's penis to stop growing.
Carl Zimmer, writing in the New York Times, explains why this research not only paints a bigger picture of bird evolution, but also illustrates how understanding these genetic mechanisms can help humans, too.

Background: Students may become less adept at developing strong patientphysician relationships during medical school. We evaluated whether students choosing careers in surgery show a similar negative trend. Methods: Scores from 2 validated measurements of medical personality were compared using repeated-measures analysis of variance. The Patient Provider Orientation Scale (PPOS) assesses whether students are more patient-centered or paternalistic, and the Physician Reaction to Uncertainty Scale (PRUS) measures willingness to disclose uncertainty. Results: From 1998 to 2005, 236 students completed the PPOS and PRUS in the first and third year of medical school. Surgical students remained patient-centered in their first and third year of medical school (mean PPOS, 4.5 vs 4.54, respectively; P <.348). In addition, they became more willing to disclose uncertainty (mean PRUS improved from 25.5 to 23.8; P <.002). Conclusions: Students choosing careers in surgery maintain or improve upon personality traits that are important for developing strong patientphysician relationships. All rights reserved.

Last month, a grassroots group of volunteers walked around Sneads Ferry and collected 34 bags of trash by hand. After a couple of hours, their haul weighed in at a whopping 680 pounds.
The group calls itself Debris Free Sneads Ferry, and it was organized and led by Hannah Faith Kushner. Kushner, of Sneads Ferry, said she considers litter in the area to be a tremendous problem.
Debris Free Sneads Ferry is just one of a handful of emerging efforts to clean up the area around Stump Sound. The sound touches a handful of municipalities and unincorporated areas, which poses challenges to managing issues like litter. Who is in charge of addressing this problem?
That's the type of question that Lisa Rider found herself asking when she came up with the idea for Stewards of Stump Sound, a group that plans to address cleanup strategies and litter management in the surrounding area. Rider is the executive director of Coastal Carolina Riverwatch. She and others workshopped the idea during a past annual North Carolina Marine Debris Symposium. The 2021 event was held online last week.
"We collaboratively wanted to put together a program in an underserved or unincorporated area of eastern North Carolina," said Rider.
Marine debris along roadsides and waterways poses a problem for local ecosystems, in addition to being unsightly for residents. The North Carolina Coastal Federation's 2020 Marine Debris Action Plan listed the Stewards of Stump Sound pilot program as a key way to address marine debris in unincorporated areas, where there is no municipal government to take charge of the problem.
One of the pilot program's first acts was to initiate a litter survey of the area, which returned results in December 2019. The litter survey helped Rider highlight problem areas where debris rates were exceptionally high.
"When the study came out, it was really apparent to us which areas we really needed to target with litter removal programs," said Rider.
But just as momentum for the project was building, the onset of the pandemic caused a lingering delay.
"So, we have to start rebuilding that momentum," said Rider. "And that's kind of where we're at today."
As years go on, it can be difficult to maintain a consistent group of stakeholders. But Rider said she is optimistic, simply because she knows other people committed to the cause are out there and are starting to organize their own initiatives.
"Knowing that that's happening in the community is a good sign that we can get this thing back together and get it rolling down the hill again," she said.
Jan Farmer is a coastal ambassador for the North Carolina Coastal Federation, which works with partners to restore Morris Landing Clean Water Preserve, 52 acres of forest habitat, salt marsh, tidal creek and more than 3,000 feet of shoreline along Stump Sound. Farmer is also working on the project, and she said that Stewards of Stump Sound will complement other grassroots efforts, not replace them. When she heard about Debris Free Sneads Ferry, she reached out to Kushner and asked how she could help.
"What we're trying to avoid is creating just another program that is redundant to other things that are being done," said Farmer.
As Stewards of Stump Sound evolves and takes shape, Farmer said she is excited about grassroots litter efforts like Debris Free Sneads Ferry because it does more than just clean up the litter, it creates an involved community all concerned about the same issue.
"It seems to have kind of ignited something in the Sneads Ferry area right now," said Farmer, "to encourage people to participate, to be aware of the problem."
That is something that Farmer has been wanting for a long time — people paying attention to the area and working together to keep it clean.
"It takes time to build allies," said Farmer. "And just this past year, really, it seems like it's starting to really get attention. And I'm super excited about that."
Still in its early phases, Stewards of Stump Sound is continually deciding what it's going to be. But the primary goal has remained unchanged from the start: to clean up the area around Stump Sound. Rider encourages anyone who wants to know more about the group's progress to contact Rebecca Drohan, program coordinator at Coastal Carolina River Watch, at _PHONE_ or _EMAIL_.

Fort Monmouth Cognitive Speech Pathology
Our cognitive functions enable us to do our day-to-day activities and process the things around us. At some point in our lives, our overall health declines; we slowly become unable to do our daily activities and we struggle to use our cognitive functions properly. Sadly, it may be a part of aging, but it may also be due to some underlying problems that need the attention of a medical professional.
senior speech pathology
The greatest risk factors for cognitive impairment are age, family history, brain injury, exposure to toxins, physical inactivity, and other health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

TURES COLUMN: Bipartisan support for low cost insulin
Published 9:30 am Tuesday, October 25, 2022
The Georgia Senate debate between the Rev. Raphael Warnock and former college football star Herschel Walker has garnered national attention, as well as a raging debate over insulin.
At the debate, when Democratic Senator Warnock touted policies designed to lower the price of insulin, something that was part of his party's Inflation Reduction Act. This led to a $35 cap on monthly insulin costs for those on Medicare. Warnock also noted that Walker said he would oppose the Inflation Reduction Act.
Walker countered with this statement. "I believe in reducing insulin but at the same time, you gotta eat right. I know many people that's on insulin. Unless you're eating right, insulin is doing you no good. So you have to get food prices down and you gotta get gas down so you can go get insulin," the GOP candidate said, leaving us to wonder what he meant by "reducing insulin" and "eating right."
Forbes cited Dr. Jasmine Clark, when she wrote "I think it's important to note, that most people that require insulin for diabetes have Type I Diabetes (formerly known as Juvenile Diabetes). Their bodies don't make insulin, usually since they were a child. They REQUIRE insulin to live. It has nothing to do with 'eating right'."
A doctor and patient confirmed to me the importance of insulin for survival for those with diabetes; that patient is a fellow runner like me (and ran the Peachtree Road Race), and eats healthy too.
People desperately need insulin to survive. USA Today reports that doctors are concerned that more than 1.3 million Americans are rationing their insulin in a desperate bid to live. According to Yahoo News, the Annals of Internal Medicine found that the number of people in dire insulin straits represent one out of five with this disease. It's not just about eating right.
I'm a big fan of eating healthy, but I also understand that not all Georgians have ready access to healthy food. There are some places that are "food deserts," where grocery stories are hard to come by. One of our LaGrange College graduates made his career about getting food from farms to make it available in low-income neighborhoods. But businesses like his are hard to come by. And not everyone lives near a Fresh Market or Trader Joe's.
Here's something else to consider. "One vial of insulin only costs between $2 and $10 to make, depending on the type, according to Verywell Health.
However, for consumers, one vial of insulin can cost between $50 and $1,000, and a pack of insulin pens can range from $45 to $600. So, if a vial of insulin goes for $1,000 and that insulin costs just $10 to make, that's a 100x markup for consumers".
With only three manufacturers and a competitive $22 billion industry, that's why 20 states, including red ones like Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Kentucky, Utah and West Virginia have already capped insulin prices, according to the American Diabetes Association. It's clear that many Americans, conservative and liberal, recognize how important low-cost insulin is, and how it is more than just a matter of just doing the diet right.

How does my EPOS communicate with the IPC and the PED?
Your EPOS application will not communicate directly with the PED, the EPOS app only communicates with IPC which handles all communication with the PED and Worldpay servers for payment processing.
EPOS and IPC can communicate in two modes: File or Socket. The communication for either method, is in the form of a request for transaction (input) and the transaction result (output).
If you want to read the messages directly from the PED and not use the IPC GUI, you can use the IPC in the Hosted IPC mode. Your EPOS application needs to be listening on the appropriate port (default 8000) to read messages coming from the IPC through the PED.

Subtitle:Pharmacokinetics of drugs in avian species and the applications and limitations of dose extrapolation
The pharmacokinetic processes of drugs, i.e. absorption, distribution, metabolization and elimination, differ between birds and mammals. For instance, the clearance and volume of the distribution of aminoglycosides are lower in birds than in mammals. These pharmacokinetic differences are caused by differences in anatomy, biochemistry and physiology between birds and mammals. The species differences in pharmacokinetics and differences in the observed and predicted pharmacokinetic parameters of some drugs in birds after extrapolation from mammals (e.g. clearance of enrofloxacin, salicylic acid, meloxicam and flunixin), show that pharmacokinetic data on mammals can hardly be extrapolated to birds as such. Furthermore, differences in pharmacokinetic behavior between bird species exist as well. Therefore, the selection of an appropriate posology for birds has to be based on pharmacokinetic data of that specific bird species. In absence of these data, dose selection might be done using allometric scaling. The pharmacokinetic data are scaled in correlation to the body weight of a different bird species. In case these data are also not available, dose selection using allometric scaling with pharmacokinetic data from mammals should preferably only be done for drugs with a low toxicity.

The winner of this year's Challenge is a team from Northeastern University. Undergrad students Aaron Kanzer (team leader), Vincent Armentano, Alexander Arnst, Ahmed El-Ghazouani, Dylan Kelly, Ben Klepper, Stephen Ngo, Manish Samala, Steven Siano, and Emily Weis worked together to win this year's competition and showcase the landscape of retirement preparedness among the states in the union. Prof. Nancy Kimelman served as the team's faculty advisor.
This year, teams were asked to play out a scenario in which they were commissioned by the National Governors Association (NGA) to write a policy advisory paper and prepare a video addressing the preparedness of states for the future retirement challenges of the Millennial generation. The NGA asked them to develop a system for ranking the 50 states, from those most to least prepared to handle the retirement of the Millennial Generation. Millennials will begin retiring as early as 2040. It was up to the teams which indicators to use in developing the ranking system. They were encouraged to be creative and come up with ideas that might challenge status quo thinking. The ranking system was supposed to be based on statistical indicators that can be tracked over time and across states.
Specifically, they were asked to answer:
1. How do states rank in preparing the Millennial generation for retirement in 2040?
2. Where does your state rank compared to other states?
3. What state policy recommendations would you include in your advisory to the NGA to improve the ranking of your state or of states that rank low?
Their questions had to be backed up by solid research and/or model programs. And the video was meant to serve as a PSA promoting the answers among the Millennial Generation.
In addition to the main winner, the judges decided to recognize several other teams for their video submissions:
University of Missouri – Columbia:
University of Nevada – Reno
University of Tennessee – Knoxville:

Water conservation for landscape and irrigation design
We must create the landscape of the future. In response to severe drought, the City reduced water consumption in municipal operations by over 40 percent between 2013 and 2015, saving approximately 35 million gallons of water and $200,000 in utility costs per year. The City achieved these results mainly by reducing irrigation and fixing leaks and continuing these trends requires a long-term transition to new and evolving approaches to landscape and irrigation design that not only contribute to Berkeley's beauty and livability, but also minimize water consumption.
Part of Solution
- Berkeley's Resilience Strategy
Berkeley's Resilience Strategy – the first in the Bay Area – is designed to advance community preparedness for some of Berkeley's most pressing physical, social, and economic challenges.
