Groundhog Day is a tradition in the United States where the behavior of groundhogs is used to predict the duration of winter. The most well-known celebration is in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, where the groundhog Phil has been predicting the weather for over a century. German immigrants brought the tradition of observing badgers and groundhogs to determine planting seasons. If the groundhog sees its shadow on February 2nd due to sunny skies, it predicts six more weeks of winter, but if cloudy it means spring is near. Though celebrated in many places, Punxsutawney Phil remains the most famous weather-predicting groundhog.
Este resumen describe el argumento de una historia de ficción erótica sobre dos mujeres, Diana y Gala, que siguen el rastro de un ladrón a través de un bosque peligroso.

Valentine's Day originated from the ancient Roman fertility festival of Lupercalia, which was celebrated on February 13-15. During Lupercalia, goats and dogs were sacrificed and their skins were used to make loincloths and whips. Men would then run through the streets whipping women with the bloody whips to promote fertility. Over time, Christianity replaced Lupercalia with St. Valentine's Day on February 14th, though the origins of the saint are unclear. Modern Valentine's Day traditions focus more on love and romance rather than the animal sacrifices and whipping of Lupercalia.

This document describes an architect's studio building designed by B.V. Doshi in Ahmedabad, India to suit the hot and dry climate. Some key design aspects include compact form and orientation to minimize sun exposure, dense vegetation and vaulted roof for shading, maximizing cross ventilation, and using earth berming and thick insulated walls for thermal mass. Performance monitoring found an 8 degree temperature difference with a 6 hour time lag for heat transfer, resulting in 30-50% reduced cooling energy needs.
This presentation is a basic introduction to the concepts underlying carbon neutral design. It looks at a LEED Platinum building that is also a carbon neutral building for some ideas as to how to achieve this goal.

High performance building for cold climateKrishna Jhawar
This document provides details on building design for cold climates. It discusses site selection, orientation, building envelopes, and passive design techniques. Specific recommendations are made for compact plans with southern exposure, well-insulated envelopes, and passive solar techniques like trombe walls, water walls, and roof-based solar heating. The goal is to maximize solar heat gain in winter while preventing overheating in summer through features like adjustable shading and insulation. High performance buildings in cold climates aim to resist heat loss and promote solar heat gain with minimal energy usage.
vernacular architecture in Hot and dry climate Sumit Ranjan
The document describes design principles for buildings in hot and dry climates. Some key points are:
1. Buildings should be compact in form and oriented to minimize sun exposure. Openings allow ventilation.
2. Courtyards are effective for passive cooling as cool night air is trapped and hot air rises out.
3. Materials like thick walls and white roofs reduce heat gain. Vegetation, water features, and shaded outdoor spaces also help moderate temperatures.
This document discusses the characteristics and design considerations for buildings in hot, dry climates. It begins by explaining that hot, dry climates are typically found 15-30 degrees from the equator and experience high temperatures, low humidity, and low rainfall. Key characteristics include temperatures over 50 degrees Celsius, low humidity between 10-50%, and precipitation under 150 mm annually. Architects aim to avoid hot sun, capture cool air, and protect from dust storms. Rural architecture embeds buildings deep in the ground with thick walls, small windows, and narrow streets for protection. Design concepts include north-south orientation, compact plans, courtyards, insulated roofs and walls, small openings, and light exteriors. Construction techniques
The document discusses principles of tropical architecture and design through two case studies - the Belarocca Island Resort in the Philippines and a house in Maui, Hawaii. It outlines how these projects utilize passive design elements like orientation, ventilation, shading and natural materials to promote thermal comfort without mechanical cooling. Key strategies include maximizing air flow, removing hot air via convection currents, and using vegetation for shade and fresh air.
The document discusses strategies for architecture in hot and dry climates. It defines hot and dry climates as having average monthly temperatures over 30°C and relative humidity under 55%. Key strategies mentioned include compact building forms, minimizing sun exposure through orientation and shading, maximizing ventilation, using heat-storing wall materials, and incorporating courtyards to provide cross ventilation and natural cooling.
The document discusses architecture and building design considerations for hot and humid climates. Some key points discussed include:
- Ensuring adequate ventilation through strategies like cross ventilation, shading, and positioning buildings to take advantage of wind.
- Using heat-resistant materials and increasing insulation where possible.
- Orienting buildings and openings to maximize airflow while minimizing heat gain and solar radiation.
- Incorporating design features like courtyards, overhangs, and higher-level vents to promote air circulation.
The document discusses different climate types and their key characteristics:
- Climate Hot and Humid located between 15°N-S with day temperatures 27-32°C, high humidity, and annual rainfall of 2000-5000mm.
- Hot and Dry located 15-30°N/S with day temperatures 43-49°C, low humidity, and low annual rainfall of 50mm.
- Composite climate near tropics with temperatures and rainfall varying between dry and wet seasons.
This document provides an overview of solar oriented architecture and passive solar design principles. It discusses how passive solar design takes advantage of the sun's energy for daylighting and heating without active solar technologies like photovoltaics. Specific passive design elements covered include building orientation, shading, thermal mass, Trombe walls, solar chimneys, light shelves, and light pipes. The document emphasizes the importance of considering factors like climate, sun path, latitude, and site conditions when designing buildings to maximize natural daylight and heating from the sun.
This chapter provides guidelines for designing buildings in six Indian climates to conserve energy. General recommendations are given based on building design aspects. Specific guidelines are developed for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings using simulation software. Methodology details calibrating the software using temperature measurements. Base case studies are conducted for sample buildings of each type both with and without air conditioning. Parameters are varied in parametric studies to evaluate their effects on thermal performance.
The document discusses various architectural strategies for hot and dry climates. It provides examples of traditional and vernacular architecture from different regions that effectively address the climate through passive design. Some key strategies mentioned include using thick, insulated walls; limiting window openings; orienting buildings around central courtyards to promote cross ventilation; employing overhangs, pergolas and vegetation for shading; and designing roofs to slope towards courtyards to drain heat. Case studies examined include the traditional Bungha house from India and the modern Parekh House designed by Charles Correa.
Climatology is the study of climate elements like temperature, humidity, wind etc and their impact on architecture. Architectural climatology involves studying how climate affects human comfort and designing the built environment accordingly. Key considerations include site planning based on topography, passive solar design, daylighting, ventilation, moisture control and noise control. Design strategies aim to benefit from positive climate elements while mitigating negative impacts through techniques like insulation, absorption, damping, isolation and appropriate material selection.
The Bidani House project demonstrates how to design a climate-responsive building on a constrained urban site. Located in Faridabad's composite climate zone, the house has large temperature swings throughout the year. Key sustainable features include developing the house form around a central courtyard to act as a heat sink, using buffer spaces on the overheated southwestern exposure, allowing solar penetration according to seasonal changes through the building form, and using local stone for thermal mass to moderate temperature swings. The project shows how responsive design is possible even on a fixed small urban site.

This summary provides an overview of two documents about national parks and preserves in New Mexico.
The first document describes a trip to Valles Caldera National Preserve, the site of the largest volcano in the world. It explains that the preserve has served as an important hunting ground since the days of Native American tribes like the Kiowa and Comanche. The landscape reveals evidence of the area's volcanic origins through minerals in the cliffs and rock faces.
The second document is about Bandelier National Monument. A park ranger explains to visitors that the structures are not ruins, but still homes for the ancestral Pueblo people who inhabited the area. Though the people are gone, their spirits remain and the land continues

This document provides a summary of the health of the Casperkill watershed in Dutchess County, New York. It finds that the health of the Casperkill has declined over time due to human impacts on the landscape including deforestation, development, dumping, stormwater runoff from parking lots, and degraded water quality. While the stream once supported a diversity of plant and animal life, many species have been lost or replaced. The document concludes that full recovery of the Casperkill is unlikely but efforts should be made to protect remaining natural areas to prevent further degradation.

Use your thoughts about the essay, , and your own reflections on your current and past
relationship with Nature
1- Describe your relationship with the natural world. Give some serious thought to what Nature
means and has meant to your life. Reflect on these questions:
2 -Do you think of yourself more apart from or more a part of Nature?
3- How connected do you feel the non-human occupants (i.e., animals, plants, organisms big and
small) of Earth,?
4- To what degree do you relate your existence to theirs?
5 -When you hear the word “wilderness,” what associations do you make or feelings does it
provoke in your mind?
6 -Do you hold value in far-off, wild places even though you will likely never physically
experience them?
7 - What value does Horse Lick Creek hold for Barbara Kingsolver? Do you have a natural place
that provides a similar benefit to you? If not, do you still appreciate the value such a place could
provide and why it is important to protect such places?
-The daughter of a doctor who would accept home-grown vegetables from patients too poor to
pay in cash, Kingsolver was born in Annapolis, Maryland, and grew up in Nicholas County,
Kentucky, a rural area where most people earned a subsistence income by farming. She earned
degrees in biology from DePauw University and the University of Arizona, and has worked as a
freelance writer and author since 1985.
This is the kind of April morning no other month can touch: a world tinted in watercolor pastels
of redbud, dogtooth violet, and gentle rain. The trees are begin ning to shrug off winter; the dark,
leggy maple woods are shot through with gleam ing constellations of white dogwood blossoms.
The road winds through deep forest near Cumberland Falls, Kentucky, carrying us across the
Cumberland Plateau toward Horse Lick Creek. Camille is quiet beside me in the front seat, until
at last she sighs and says, with a child\'s poetic logic, “This reminds me of the place I always like
to think about.”
Me too, I tell her. It’s the exact truth. I grew up roaming wooded hollows like these, though they
were more hemmed-in, keeping their secrets between the wide-open cattle pastures and tobacco
fields of Nicholas County, Kentucky. My brother and sister and I would hoist cane fishing poles
over our shoulders, as if we intended to make ourselves useful, and head out to spend a Saturday
doing nothing of the kind. We haunted places we called the Crawdad Creek, the Downy Woods
(for downy woodpeckers and also for milkweed fluff), and—thrillingly, because we’d once
found big bones there—Dead Horse Draw. We caught crawfish with nothing but patience and
our hands, boiled them, with wild onions over a campfire, and ate them and declared them the
best food on earth. We collected banana-scented pawpaw fruits, and were tempted by fleshy,
fawn-colored mushrooms but left those alone. We watched birds whose names we didn’t know
build nests in trees whose names we generally did. We witnessed the unfurling of hickory an.

This document summarizes the life cycle and current challenges facing the American eel. It describes how glass eels are collected at a monitoring station on the York River and how elvers are trapped climbing upstream at the Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River. The eels have a complex catadromous life cycle, migrating from freshwater to spawn in the Sargasso Sea, though many details remain unknown. Their populations have declined significantly due to dams blocking habitat, glass eel harvesting, and other threats. Conservation efforts aim to help eels access habitat and rebuild depleted stocks.

Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdfleebarnesutopia
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.

Come High Water
1. On this SlideShare page, you will find several Power Point presentations, one for each of the
most popular essays to read aloud from A Sand County Almanac at Aldo Leopold Weekend
events. Each presentation has the essay text right on the slides, paired with beautiful images that
help add a visual element to public readings. Dave Winefske (Aldo Leopold Weekend event
planner from Argyle, Wisconsin) gets credit for putting these together. Thanks Dave!
A note on images within the presentations: we have only received permission to use these
images within these presentations, as part of this event. You will see a photo credit slide as the
last image in every presentation. Please be sure to show that slide to your audience at least
once, and if you don't mind leaving it up to show at the end of each essay, that is best. Also please
note that we do not have permission to use these images outside of Aldo Leopold Weekend
reading event presentations. For example, the images that come from the Aldo Leopold
Foundation archive are not “public domain,” yet we see unauthorized uses of them all the time on
the internet. So, hopefully that’s enough said on this topic—if you have any questions, just let us
know. mail@aldoleopold.org
If you download these presentations to use in your event, feel free to delete this intro slide before
showing to your audience.
4. The same logic that causes big rivers always to flow past big cities
5. causes cheap farms sometimes to
be marooned in spring floods.
Ours is a cheap farm, and
sometimes when we visit it in April
we get marooned.
6. Not intentionally, of course, but one can, to a degree guess from weather
reports when the snows up north will melt, and one can estimate how
many days it takes for the flood to run the gauntlet of upriver cities.
7. Thus, come Sunday evening, one must go back to town & work, but one
can't. How sweetly the spreading waters murmur condolence for the
wreckage they have inflicted on Monday morning dates!
8. How deep and chesty the honkings of the geese as they cruise over
cornfield after cornfield, each in process of becoming a lake.
9. Every hundred yards some new goose flails the air as he struggles to lead
the echelon in its morning survey of this new and watery world.
10. The enthusiasm of geese for high water is a subtle thing, and might be
overlooked by those unfamiliar with goose gossip,
11. but the enthusiasm of carp is obvious and unmistakable. No sooner has
the rising flood wetted the grass roots than here they come, rooting and
wallowing with the prodigious zest of pigs turned out to pasture,
12. flashing red tails and yellow bellies, cruising the wagon tracks and cow-
paths, and shaking the reeds and bushes in their haste to explore what to
them is an expanding universe.
13. Unlike the geese and the carp, the terrestrial birds and mammals accept
high water with philosophical detachment.
14. A cardinal atop a river birch whistles loudly his claim to a territory
that, but for the trees, cannot be seen to exist.
15. A ruffed grouse drums from
the flooded woods; he must
be perched on the high end of
his highest drumming log.
17. From the orchard bounds a deer, evicted from his usual daytime bed in
the willow thickets.
18. Everywhere are rabbits, calmly
accepting quarters on our hill, which
serves, in Noah's absence, for an ark.
19. The spring flood brings us more than
high adventure; it brings likewise an
unpredictable miscellany of floatable
objects pilfered from upriver farms.
20. An old board stranded on our meadow has, to us, twice the value of
the same piece new from the lumberyard. Each old board has its
own individual history, always unknown, but always to some degree
guessable from the kind of wood, its dimensions, its
nails, screws, or paint, its finish or the lack of it, its wear or decay.
21. One can even guess, from the abrasion of its
edges and ends on sandbars, how many floods
have carried it in years past.
22. Our lumber pile, recruited entirely from the river, is thus not
only a collection of personalities, but an anthology of human
strivings in upriver farms and forests.
23. The autobiography of an old board
is a kind of literature not yet taught
on campuses, but any riverbank
farm is a library where he who
hammers or saws may read at will.
Come high water, there is always
an accession of new books.
24. There are degrees and kinds of solitude. An
island in a lake has one kind; but lakes
have boats, and there is always the chance
that one might land to pay you a visit.
25. A peak in the clouds has another kind; but most peaks have trails, and
trails have tourists. I know of no solitude so secure as one guarded by a
spring flood; nor do the geese, who have seen more kinds and degrees of
aloneness than I have.
26. So we sit on our hill beside a
new-blown pasque,
27. and watch the geese go by. I see our road
dipping gently into the waters, and I conclude
(with inner glee but exterior detachment)
28. that the question of traffic, in or out, is for this day at least, debatable only
among carp.
