2018 GIS in Conservation: The Effect of Channel Migration on Riparian Vegetat...GIS in the Rockies
Historically, the South Platte River in Colorado has experienced substantial inter-annual flow variability, but due to water management over the last century, there has been a parallel rise in ground and surface water level consistency. This is problematic for the dominant riparian vegetation of the region, the disturbance-dependent cottonwood, which relies on frequent flood events to clear vegetation to allow for the growth of new trees along the riverbank. Through this research, we attempt to understand the patterns and dynamics of the South Platte River’s riparian vegetation to aid resource management. This research focuses on channel migration dynamics and how these impact adjacent riparian vegetation. To study this, we digitized riparian vegetation using orthophotos at roughly decade increments for a 30 km section of the South Platte in Weld and Morgan counties. We measured changes to riparian vegetation composition and channel locations. Preliminary results show that from 1999 to 2006, a period of overall low flow and drought conditions, this section of river experienced a narrowing of the active channel by 11%. This narrowing was accompanied by an expansion of forest, riparian shrub, and herbaceous vegetation. From 2006 to 2015, a period of time that included high flows and two major flood events, we observed channel expansion of 24%. This was accompanied by decreases in forests, riparian shrubs, and herbaceous cover.

Climate Change: Implications for CitiesECFoundation
The Fifth Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the
most comprehensive and relevant analysis of our changing climate. It provides the scientific fact base that will be used around the world to formulate
climate policies in the coming years.This document is one of a series synthesizing the most pertinent findings of AR5 for specific economic and business sectors. It was born of the belief that the cities sector could make more use of AR5, which is long and highly technical, if it were distilled into an accurate, accessible, timely, relevant and readable summary. Although the information presented here is a ‘translation’ of the key content relevant to this sector from AR5, this summary report adheres to the rigorous scientific basis of the original source material.
Grateful thanks are extended to all reviewers from both the science and business communities for their time, effort and invaluable feedback on this document. The basis for information presented in this overview report can be found in the fully-referenced and peer-reviewed IPCC technical and scientific background reports at: www.ipcc.ch

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

1. Water in the Context ofMetro VancouverJane Comeault PEng, MESSustainability Strategist Canadian Water Summit Half Full: Out Water Future Toronto 17 June 2010
The organization, Metro Vancouver represents Canada’s only non-amalgamatedmajor metro areaIt is a collaboration of 24 local authorities (including one electoral area and one First Nation) which vary greatly in size and characterBoard of Directors comprised of Mayors and Councilors from the 24 communities – every one is included
Metro Vancouver commissioned the Summer Visions Youth Program – a film school through the Pacific Cinematheque - to create PSAs promoting tap water over bottled water in their 2-week project. We received 8 very creative products – all available on You Tube and our website; I want to share one with you…this one is called TAP RAPhttp://www.metrovancouver.org/region/tapwater/Pages/default.aspx
Since the early 1990s we have had lawn sprinkling regulations in the region and they have been effectivePeak per capita water use has gone down by 25%Although the population served in the region has increased, the total volume of water delivered during the peak period has remained relatively constant.By the way, housing density matters too in residential water consumptionCompact communities have compact pipe networks and less leakageThey also have smaller lawns per capita
We introduced another demand management tool in 2006 – seasonal water pricing.Water is 25% more in peak season (summer) compared to winter$0.56 per cubic metre in summer$0.45 / m3 in winterThe cost to consumers is higher with the cost for municipal services added – about $0.80 to $1.00/ cubic metreGVWD Water Rate (trend over time and compare changes in the GVWD to changes inother jurisdictions).The GVWD provides water on a wholesale basis to member municipalities. GVWD’s costs to providewater are higher in the peak summer season of June through September as the natural inflows to itssource lakes are lower and the demand for water is higher. Consequently, in accordance with theDrinking Water Management Plan the GVWD began phasing in seasonal pricing in 2006. In 2010,the GVWD is charging member municipalities a summer season rate of about $0.56 per cubic metreand an off-peak season rate of about $0.45 per cubic metre (Figure 7). The water rates per cubicmetre paid by residents and businesses in the Metro Vancouver region, include municipal watersupply costs, and are typically in the range of $0.7 to $1.0 per cubic metre. Water rates in the MetroVancouver region are still lower than other regions such as Seattle ($1.23), Calgary ($1.25),Edmonton ($1.56), and Toronto ($1.89).
