The Titanic
The document discusses the sinking of the Titanic. It notes that women and children were allowed onto lifeboats first when evacuating the sinking ship. Many lifeboats left the Titanic without being filled to capacity with passengers. The document also answers a question about the date the Titanic sank, stating that it hit the iceberg on April 14th, 1912 around 11pm but did not fully sink until around 2am on April 15th, 1912.
Titanic power point
The Titanic sank in 1912 due to several factors, including having too few lifeboats for all passengers despite being considered unsinkable, sailing too fast through dangerous sea conditions, potential issues with rivets used in construction, and lack of proper lifeboat drills or effective radio communications to receive warnings of icebergs ahead. While some blame falls on Captain Smith, the sinking was ultimately caused by a combination of design flaws and human errors that could have been avoided.
Brestitude
The document provides images and descriptions of various locations around the port of Brest and other areas of Brittany, France. Some of the highlights mentioned include images of the port of Brest, lighthouses like Kermorvan and Nividic, and locations such as Ushant Island, the Iroise Sea, and the Molène archipelago. The majority of the document appears to be short captions or sentences describing photos related to the coastal areas, ports, and navigation aids around Brest and Brittany.

Sheep day panel
The document summarizes the presentations from three farmers on their pasture management practices:
- Mike Swidersky manages 1000 acres with 900 cattle and a small flock of sheep in Ontario. He intensively rotationally grazes his livestock and discusses his annual management calendar.
- Gerald te Velde operates Twin Creeks Farm in Ontario with 100 ewes, cattle and pigs. He rotationally grazes his sheep and cattle separately but is experimenting with grazing them together. He relies on portable electric fencing and aims for frequent moves and adequate pasture rest periods.
- Bill McCutcheon then briefly discussed his pasture management at Mulmur Vista Farm in Ontario, focusing on water infrastructure and maintaining pasture
Improving whole Farm Forage Utilization for Sheep and Goat
This document discusses strategies for improving whole farm forage utilization for sheep and goat production, including using annual forages. It notes that annual forages can fill deficits in perennial pasture production by extending the grazing season. Studies showed that annual forages like brassicas can produce high gains per acre for lambs as well as individual gains comparable to grain diets at lower costs. The document recommends including annual forages in crop rotations and as cover crops to improve forage quality and availability while providing benefits to soil and crops. Precise grazing management is key to optimizing animal performance on annual forage systems.
Lindsay horse day from round pen to show ring 14
This document discusses how we understand horses and their behavior. It notes that horses are prey animals with a fight or flight instinct for survival. Their eyes are adapted for wide vision to take in many stimuli as potential threats. The document cautions against startling horses as their natural response is to flee in fear. It recommends gradually increasing restraint and allowing escape routes when handling horses to avoid activating their claustrophobic instincts and flight responses.
Weaver performance testing and records
- Keeping accurate performance records is essential for goat producers to make profitable decisions about breeding and management. Records should capture information about animal ID, pedigree, birth weight, milk production, health, classifications, and breeding.
- Record keeping allows producers to calculate estimated breeding values (EBVs) to evaluate genetic merit and select superior animals as parents for future generations. EBVs combined with a selection index can help identify the most profitable animals.
- While record keeping and genetic evaluation services have a cost, the return on investment is higher profits from making more informed decisions based on genetic data and EBVs. Producers who utilize performance records are better equipped to continuously improve their herd.
Alternative Therapies for Goats
This document provides information on herbal remedies and homeopathic treatments for various ailments in goats. It lists herbs that can be used as weeds or medicinal plants, including garlic, oregano, and dock leaves. It also lists herbal remedies for mastitis involving teas with sage, garlic, and oregano. The document discusses homeopathic principles and provides examples of common homeopathic remedies for mastitis and bloat in goats, drawing from the homeopathic materia medica. Websites for herbal information and a book on herbal remedies for farms are also referenced.
Weaver Farms
The document summarizes presentations from Grey Bruce Farmer's Week 2015 about goat farming operations. Kevin Weaver discussed his dairy goat farm with 300 Alpine goats that produces high quality milk. Peter and Amy Vingerhoeds transitioned their hobby meat goat farm to a commercial operation with an emphasis on labour efficiency. Their new barn facilities include natural ventilation, separate feeding areas, and bulk storage to reduce costs and waste. Through improved facilities and management, they increased their herd from 20-30 goats to 80 productive does.
Keeping Better Records
Peter and Amy Vingerhoeds operate an 80-100 head Boer goat farm. They have implemented improved record keeping over the past few years to better manage their herd. This includes identifying goats with ear tags, recording kidding and treatment details, monitoring feed costs, and weighing market kids regularly. Keeping detailed records has helped them select the best breeding stock, market kids at optimal weights, and understand their production costs and profits. The records have helped them make progress on their farm goals of selling goats at high prices, improving herd genetics, and understanding their business metrics.

Proposal: The Ark Project and The BEEP Inc
1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.
Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.
