Sustainable Backyards Taranaki is a event running from October 30th to November 9th 2015 alongside the Fringe and Powerco Garden Festivals in Taranaki, New Zealand. Thirteen property owners will open their backyards to showcase sustainable living practices like composting, organic gardening, beekeeping, and renewable energy production. The aim is to promote sustainable living through examples of green practices that save money, resources and feed families while possibly providing income. Visitors can learn by touring the backyards and becoming inspired to apply sustainable ideas to their own properties.

Problems encountered in Routing Algorithms for 2D-Mesh NoCsSandeep Singh
As technology scales down toward deep submicron,
large numbers of IP blocks are being integrated on the same Silicon die, thereby enabling large amount of parallel
computations, such as those required for multimedia workloads.
Network-on-chip (NOC) serves as an important agent to
eliminate the communication bottleneck of future multicore
systems. Arbiter, a prime component has a great impact on the
feasibility of router. In this paper, we concentrate our ideas on
the basic arbitration techniques with their features and found
some problems with their roles in improving the performance of
the routers and finally extending our range to a novel notion of
overcoming extensive problems of starvation, HOL, congestion,
etc. in a novel and feasible manners with a combination of the
existing arbitration techniques in a more compact and sequential
form.
Abstract: Bird Community of Periyakulam wetlands in Tiruchirapalli District, Tamil Nadu, Southern India was studied during January 2013 to December 2013. The methodology followed was mainly observations using binocular the site was done by direct count. A total of 37 species belong to 8 orders and 15 families, including 18 Resident species, 14 Resident Migrant species, 5 Migrant species. During the 32 species Least Concern, 5 species of Near Threatened were recorded in the area during the period. Little egret, Little Cormorant, Purple Moorhen, Purple Heron, Little Grebe, Spot billed duck, Black crowned Night Heron, Indian Pond Heron, Common coot, River tern, White breasted Kingfisher, Whiskered Tern etc. This wetland attracts thousands of water birds comprising of resident and migrant species. In the lake diversity of flora and fauna were present. The major flora includes Eichhornia crassipes, Phragmites karka, Zizania latifolia, Cynodon spp., Limnophila spp., Sagittaria spp., Saccharum latifolium, Erianthus pucerus, Erianthus ravennae, Leersia hexandra, and Cyperus rotundus, besides the birds species such as Euphlyctis hexadactylus, Mirghal sp. Ctenopharyngodon idella, Oreochromis mossambicus, Salmophasia bacaila, Puntius Filamentosus, Catla catla and Labeo rohita, and the water insects such as Rhithrogena germanica and dragon flies. Were the most abundant resident and migrant species found in the Periyakulam wetlands.

1. Come and share with us what sustainable living looks like and explore the upcoming Sustainable
Backyards Taranaki that will be running alongside the Fringe and Powerco Garden Festivals (30th
October – 9th November). 13 enthusiastic and passionate property owners in the region will be
opening up their backyards to the public and inviting visitors to take a peek at how sustainable
practices are implemented.
Our aim for the Sustainable Backyards Taranaki is to promote sustainable living by show and
tell. Each Backyard host will showcase a range of green living practices such as composting, using
recycled materials creatively, organic gardening, chicken and beekeeping, riparian plantings,
seedsaving and renewable energy production.
If you are thinking of how you can save money, power, tread lighter, feed your families, and possibly
make a living from your backyard then join us on our very first Sustainable Backyards Taranaki.
Leading the way towards a sustainable future
Learn by seeing. Be Inspired.
