On April 26, David Rouse and Rob Kerns of WRT and Shawn McLaughlin, Union County, PA Planning Director, presented "The Sustainable Comprehensive Plan" at the American Planning Association's National Conference in Minneapolis. WRT's planners are developing an overall approach and specific techniques designed to integrate sustainability into plans and implementing regulations at scales ranging from cities and regions to downtowns and neighborhoods. The Union County Comprehensive Plan, which was featured in the presentation, represents an application of WRT's sustainable planning and zoning initiative. It includes sustainability principles and keys as an organizing framework, supported by specific actions and indicators to measure progress in achieving sustainability targets.
Union County is a rural county in central Pennsylvania that is rich in agricultural, natural, historic, and small town resources. The comprehensive plan, which is expected to be adopted by the county commissioners this summer, was prepared with extensive public participation using the "values-driven" planning process pioneered by WRT. Through this process county residents expressed a strong interest in energy conservation and other sustainability issues.
"Union County is remarkable in that it is a small community with limited fiscal and staff resources that has made a commitment to sustainability in its draft comprehensive plan," said David Rouse, WRT's principal-in-charge of the project. "We expect major cities such as Seattle, Portland, and New York City to lead the way in addressing issues such as climate change and peak oil. However, we need many more places like Union County to take on this challenge if we are to find our way to a sustainable future."

2015 International Spatial Planning Symposium: Sharing Practical Solutions riseagrant
The document summarizes findings from a review of marine spatial plans around the world. It finds that most plans are implemented at smaller spatial scales than entire ecosystems. It also finds that few institutional changes are made to governing bodies to implement coastal and marine spatial planning, relying instead on existing agencies. Additionally, it notes that while formal decision support tools are used, informal expert judgment also plays a role. The main messages are that there is no single approach for marine spatial planning and that the value is in the planning process of engaging stakeholders as much as the final plan.
Five regional planning bodies have been established across the United States to coordinate ocean planning: the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Pacific Islands, Caribbean, and West Coast. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions have established charters and are drafting regional marine plans to be completed in 2016. The Pacific Islands has a charter and is beginning to draft a plan, while the Caribbean is still finalizing its charter and the West Coast is working on one.
This document assessed the impact of past ocean management plans in several countries and U.S. states. It found that the plans supported $4.1 billion in ocean economies by siting wind farms and retaining existing industries. The plans also generated hundreds of millions of dollars annually in economic gains for new industries like wind power and retained billions within existing industries like fishing and tourism. While fishermen lost some access, they were compensated. The plans encouraged collaboration among stakeholders and expanded environmental protections over 50% of the planned areas while managing industrial growth. Future research on newer plans is needed to fully understand the long-term economic, environmental and social impacts of comprehensive ocean management.
The Block Island Wind Farm project will consist of 5 turbines generating 30 MW of energy, enough for 17,000 homes. Construction is underway and commercial operations are scheduled for 2016. The project has completed permitting, engineering, and financing. It will create over 300 construction jobs and establish a new cable to the mainland, positioning the US for national leadership in offshore wind.
This document provides a tutorial for using STORMTOOLS, a web-based mapping tool for understanding coastal flood risk in Rhode Island. It outlines how to access and use the various features and layers in STORMTOOLS to determine flood depths and impacts under different hurricane and sea level rise scenarios. Key features include zooming and panning the map, adjusting layer transparency, toggling layers on and off, and clicking on locations to view flood depths and identify emergency services. The tutorial is created by a team from the University of Rhode Island and the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council.

Legal and Policy Strategies for SLAMM in Rhode Islandriseagrant
This document discusses potential legal and policy strategies for addressing sea level rise and marsh migration in Rhode Island. It examines transferred development rights and rolling easements as adaptive tools, noting that the strategies were researched by Sea Grant Law Fellows to help inform the SLAMM and Beach SAMP teams. The Beach SAMP process will further explore using these strategies as well as property rights and liability issues related to climate change impacts.
This document summarizes coastal wetland adaptation strategies presented at two municipal workshops in October 2014. The strategies included upland actions like facilitating marsh migration and removing barriers, as well as in-marsh actions like drainage improvements, elevation enhancement, and erosion control. Specific project examples were provided from locations around Rhode Island where marsh migration was being facilitated or impeded, and adaptation techniques like creek excavation and land protection were undertaken. Partnerships between municipalities, land trusts, and state agencies were noted as important for implementing projects costing $5,000 to $15,000 each to adapt coastal marshes to sea level rise.
Sea Level Rise & the Conservation of Wetlands: Issues and Opportunities for C...riseagrant
1) The document discusses how municipalities in Rhode Island can incorporate projections of sea level rise and coastal flooding from the SLAMM (Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model) into their local comprehensive plans and policies.
2) It provides examples of how North Kingstown used SLAMM maps and data to update hazard mitigation and adaptation strategies in their comprehensive plan.
3) The document outlines challenges municipalities may face in planning for sea level rise and adapting infrastructure, and compares approaches some other states have taken through regulations and designated planning areas.
This document summarizes several local case studies on coastal communities in Rhode Island that are vulnerable to sea level rise. It describes modeling of 1 foot, 3 foot, and 5 foot sea level rise scenarios for the communities of Jamestown, Barrington/Warren, and Charlestown. For each community, the document identifies current land uses and infrastructure that are at risk of flooding and inundation. It also provides potential issues and opportunities to address the impacts of sea level rise through actions such as elevating roads, relocating facilities, protecting undeveloped lands, and coordinating land management between stakeholders.
Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM)riseagrant
The Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) simulates wetland conversions during sea level rise. It has been applied and improved since 1985 and used worldwide. The document describes how SLAMM models elevation, vegetation zones, accretion rates, and other parameters to project wetland impacts from sea level rise under various scenarios. It also notes limitations such as uncertainty in sea level projections and complexity of ground conditions and coastal dynamics.
Sea Levels Affecting Marshes Model Using SLAMM to Conserve Rhode Island’s Coa...riseagrant
This document summarizes information presented at a workshop on using the Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) to project impacts of sea level rise on coastal wetlands in Rhode Island. Key points include:
- Tidal marshes provide important ecosystem services like habitat, water filtration, and flood protection. Rhode Island has lost over 50% of its historic salt marshes.
- Sea levels are rising faster in Rhode Island due to climate change, increasing the risk of wetland loss and property damage from flooding. The SLAMM model projects significant wetland loss under scenarios of 1, 3, and 5 feet of sea level rise.
- The SLAMM projections will help identify vulnerable wetlands and

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
