This document lists several music artists that the author enjoys including Tim McGraw, Toby Keith, Two Steps from Hell, Josh Turner, EFY, Dragon Force, and Audio Machine. The author notes they don't listen to many artists and could only think of these favorites for their media design research on CDs.
This document summarizes a study on how the adaptive reuse of traditional rural buildings can generate local economic benefits. The researcher conducted interviews with 30 building projects in England to calculate their local economic multipliers using the LM3 model. Key findings include animal housing and listed buildings having higher multipliers for conversion works, while businesses under 5 years old and over £75k in turnover performed better for building use. The study aims to provide guidance to organizations like the National Trust on maximizing local economic impacts through adaptive reuse projects.
This document outlines the context and methodology for a study examining artistic and other engagements with weather and climate through practices in landscapes. It discusses how weather has been de-culturated from a local, experiential phenomenon to a global, statistical concept. The study uses interviews and participant observation of landscape painters to understand how their artistic practices engage with and capture the ephemeral qualities of weather. Preliminary findings suggest their practices involve mobile and habitual encounters with sites, as well as capturing transient elements through photography, sketches, and paintings that blend stationary elements with blurred transitions. Memory also features prominently in how artists splice experiences across site visits.
This document summarizes an estate planning seminar focused on simplifying estate plans due to changes in federal and state tax laws. Specifically, the permanency of the increased federal gift and estate tax exemption and portability between spouses means fewer estates will be taxable. As a result, many estate plans can be simplified by removing complex trusts and allowing property to pass to beneficiaries outright or through simpler trusts. However, trusts still provide benefits like creditor protection and controlling distributions, so may still be advisable components of some estate plans.

Farmers currently receive payments through agri-environment schemes like the Countryside Stewardship Scheme (CSS) and the Environmental Stewardship Scheme (ELS) to help improve the environment. These schemes are ending and will likely be replaced by new schemes that incorporate payments for ecosystem services. It is an important time for farmers to provide input into pilot programs to influence the design of future agricultural support and environmental protection initiatives.

Taking Root: A Glimpse at Agriculture in the Inner CityFayina19z
Urban agriculture has the potential to address poverty and lack of opportunity in West Philadelphia. The author researched four urban farms in the area and found they turned unused land into productive spaces while increasing local food access. However, youth involvement is needed for urban farming to succeed long-term. A well-planned business model with diversified production and distribution is also necessary to balance affordability and sustainability. Considering local culture and tastes is especially important to meet community needs. While criticisms exist, urban agriculture shows promise in improving quality of life.

This document summarizes a presentation on feeding cities given at the Birmingham Sustainability Forum. It discusses how much food Birmingham needs now and in the future as populations grow. It notes that Birmingham cannot be self-sufficient in food production on its own land and open spaces. While local food growing has benefits, the potential for cities to feed themselves is very small, estimated at around 2% of needs. To feed growing urban populations will require optimizing land use and diets across different places based on their specialties. The document advocates for maximizing cities as biodiversity engines and establishing a Birmingham Food Council to address these challenges through an integrated policy approach.
This document discusses the possibility of planting food in public spaces. It begins by outlining the basic biology of how plants produce food through photosynthesis using sunlight, water and soil. It then discusses examples of urban agriculture from around the world, and considers if food can be grown in urban areas like Hong Kong by addressing potential issues around land availability, policies and technical challenges. The document suggests that some food production may be possible in public spaces in Hong Kong through approaches like community farms, herbs, vegetables and fruit trees depending on the specific location.
The document analyzes predictions from a game about future innovations in urban farming.

Sania Dzalbe is a PhD student in economic geography at Umeå University in Sweden who studies how people in rural areas adapt to crisis and adversity. Drawing from her upbringing in rural Latvia, she notes the importance of social reproduction in sustaining rural livelihoods, which often goes overlooked in traditional regional economic analysis. She argues that the concept of resilience is connected to the concept of loss, as during moments of crisis and major restructuring, societies lose not only jobs and industries but also the very mechanisms through which they shape their environment, both physically and socially. Current resilience studies in economic geography tend to disregard the role of social reproduction and the losses experienced by individuals by predominantly focusing on firms and economic production. However, to understand the evolution of rural regions and communities amid various challenges they face, one must recognize that social reproduction cannot be separated from economic and knowledge production processes.

The talk will focus on the current state of soil governance in Australia, alongside the recently released National Soil Strategy and debate how knowledge exchange on sustainable soil management is progressing. The need to maintain a healthy and functioning soil that is resilient and less vulnerable to climate change and land degradation is an ever-present goal. Yet to achieve this goal requires a critical mass of soil scientists who can effectively undertake research and more importantly people who can communicate such knowledge to farmers so that soil is protected through the use of landscape-appropriate practices. Decades of government de-investment and privatisation have led to a diminished and fragmented workforce that is distant from, rather than part of, the rural community, and farmers are also increasingly isolated with few functional social networks for knowledge exchange. Is it possible to chart a course that can see this decline in expertise and local soil knowledge corrected, and restore to it vitality and legitimacy?

Latvian meadows are inextricably connected to the Latvian identity. An identity built on the concept of the industrious peasant working their own land, free from the oppression of tyrannical regimes. This cultural association also feeds into the mid-summer festivals as the women weave the flower-filled crowns and people collect herbal teas to ward off illness over the winter. These biodiverse havens are under threat, as they are neglected or replaced with improved grasslands with their higher yields but lower diversity.
1) The document discusses research into how social and intellectual capital contribute to collective environmental action through Countryside Stewardship Facilitation Fund (CSFF) groups in the UK.
2) Key findings indicate that while CSFF funding aims to develop social capital, most knowledge sharing currently occurs between members with close ties, and there is limited evidence of collective environmental action.
3) Continued support is needed to strengthen relationships, facilitate knowledge exchange across different actor groups, and provide funding to enable CSFF groups to deliver landscape-scale environmental improvements over time.
Professor Ian Hodge's seminar for the CCRI on 24th October 2022.
There are two emergent movements in the governance of rural land: voluntary and local government initiatives that assess, plan and enhance landscape and biodiversity and a largely separate central government initiative for the development of Environmental Land Management (ELM) schemes as a key element of national agricultural policy. This is developed and implemented by central government with a relatively large budget.
These two movements should be better integrated through the development of a system of Local Environmental Governance Organisations (LEGOs). A LEGO would stand as a ‘trustee’ with a remit to protect and enhance the quality of the local environment in the long term. It can assemble evidence on natural capital, co-ordinate amongst stakeholders and work with them to identify local priorities for nature recovery. It would search for synergies and collaborative partnerships and raise funds to support priority projects. A key point is that a proportion of central government funding should be devolved to LEGOs. This would link the vision being developed locally with the capacity to generate financial incentives for land managers to change land management.
Natural Cambridgeshire as the Local Nature Partnership is developing a number of the attributes of a LEGO. It is engaging with and appears to have support from a broad variety of stakeholders and is energising actions at several different levels. Through a local deliberative process, it can have a much clearer view of local opportunities and priorities than can be possible via central government. Natural Cambridgeshire has begun to raise funds but the likelihood is that this is will be too little, relatively short term and unsystematic. Longer term core funding would give Natural Cambridgeshire the capacity to back up proposals with financial support, potentially matching funding from other sources. It would then need to monitor and audit the implementation of projects and report on expenditure and outcomes. Over time it would adopt an adaptive approach to respond to outcomes and changing threats and opportunities.
National government needs to establish a framework for the development and operation of a system of LEGOs. It would continue to act in support of national standards, both through regulation and investment to meet international commitments, such as for biodiversity and climate change.
The presentation will give a brief overview of the 'UrbanFarmer' project and its various facets, including the integration of a cohort of Norwegian farmers and agricultural research organisations in the co-production of applied knowledge.
The main thrust of the presentation will be to present similarities and differences in the way that food in short food supply chains is marketed through different farm enterprise business models, and different sales channels. Differences in policy backdrops and other, related, contexts which help or hinder urban marketing through short food supply chains concluding with some ideas of emerging recommendations will also be explored.

The presentation discusses the research gap around understanding disease management practices and controversies. It outlines an ethnographic methodology to study multiple perspectives on the issue. Key findings include observations from badger culling operations and protests against culling, as well as results from a citizen science study on bTB prevalence in dead badgers. The presentation emphasizes how disease management practices shape understandings of disease and that controversies can foster alternative perspectives.
Presentation given by Dr Alessio Russ 8th July for CCRI seminar series.
Over the last few decades, the school of thought surrounding the urban ecosystem has increasingly become in vogue among researchers worldwide. Since half of the world’s population lives in cities, urban ecosystem services have become essential to human health and wellbeing. Rapid urban growth has forced sustainable urban developers to rethink important steps by updating and, to some degree, recreating the human–ecosystem service linkage. This talk addresses concepts and metaphors such as nature-based solutions and wellbeing, ecosystem services, nature-based thinking, urban regeneration, urban agriculture, urban-rural interface, rewilding.
The Going the Extra Mile (GEM) project aims to help people overcome challenges to employment and move closer to or into work. An evaluation team from the University of Gloucestershire conducted extensive monitoring and evaluation of GEM using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Process evaluations found that GEM provided innovative, relevant support during the pandemic. Outcomes evaluations found improvements in areas like skills, confidence and social connections. A social return on investment model estimated £2.50 returned for every £1 invested in GEM. Inclusive evaluation methods like digital storytelling captured personal impact stories. The evaluation aims to inform the design of any successor to GEM.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Building Production Ready Search Pipelines with Spark and MilvusZilliz
Spark is the widely used ETL tool for processing, indexing and ingesting data to serving stack for search. Milvus is the production-ready open-source vector database. In this talk we will show how to use Spark to process unstructured data to extract vector representations, and push the vectors to Milvus vector database for search serving.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
