Oranjezicht City Farm - Meeting in the Barn 22 July 2012kackermann
The document summarizes plans for the Oranjezicht City Farm project in Cape Town. A small steering committee aims to turn an unused public green space into an educational organic farm. The farm would serve the local community by increasing access to fresh vegetables and building skills in urban food production. The location is well-suited due to its history as the site of the original Oranjezicht Estate homestead gardens. The farm seeks to be financially sustainable through produce sales and partnerships. It also aims to be environmentally sustainable and serve as a model for urban agriculture projects.
The document discusses the construction of railway tunnels through the Kunlun Mountains and the challenges of building infrastructure in permafrost conditions. It also mentions several scenic locations along the railway from Golmud to Lhasa such as Lake Namtso, glaciers, mountains, Yamdrok Lake, and views of the Lhasa River Bridge. The railway project required overcoming the difficult engineering problems presented by the high altitude permafrost environment.
O poema descreve Deus como louco, corajoso, original e teatral por enviar um anjo para dizer a Maria que ela estava grávida de Jesus, mesmo contra todas as probabilidades. A família de Jesus teve que fugir para o Egito após o nascimento para escapar de Herodes, que queria matar a criança recém-nascida. O Natal lembra que o amor de Deus é absurdo e louco.

Erste Bank Hungary engaged ONLINET to analyze 10 of its branches using queue management systems. At the largest branch in Árkád Mall, ONLINET found that average wait time was 13 minutes, average service time was 6 minutes, and staff worktime exploitation was only 50%. ONLINET provided a 14 point recommendation package to the Árkád branch focusing on increasing efficiency through optimizing staffing, setting wait time norms, adding self-service options like pay-in kiosks, and better forecasting of peak customer periods. The proven benefits of queue management systems included making wait times, service times, and staff performance measurable to allow for more objective optimization of processes and resources.

This document summarizes the key policies in the West University employee handbook. It addresses diversity and equal employment, including anti-harassment. It prohibits discrimination and harassment based on protected characteristics. It also defines sexual harassment and encourages reporting any perceived incidents. The handbook covers various employment topics such as classifications, discipline, safety, expectations, compensation, time off, benefits and more. It is intended to serve as a guide for employees but does not constitute an employment contract.
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are models inspired by biological neural networks in the brain. ANNs use simple processing units (nodes) and weighted connections (synapses) to process information in parallel, like the brain. There are two main types: feedforward networks, which process information in one direction; and recurrent networks, which allow bidirectional information flow and memory over time. Feedforward networks are commonly trained with backpropagation to extract patterns from data for tasks like classification. Recurrent networks can model temporal dynamics and behaviors through self-connections. Examples include central pattern generators for locomotion and Hopfield networks for content-addressable memory. Overall, ANNs demonstrate how complex behaviors can emerge from simple principles, providing insights into both
Australian road trains are the largest road-legal vehicles in the world, with some weighing up to 200 tonnes. They are used to transport materials like livestock, fuel, and minerals across remote areas of Australia, playing an important economic role. Road trains allow cost-effective transport of goods to communities that rely entirely on regular deliveries by road trains.
JSW Energy plans to expand the capacity of its 860 megawatt power plant in Vijayanagar, Karnataka by 660 megawatts with an investment of Rs. 3,300 crore using a debt-to-equity ratio of 3:1. The company hopes to lower interest rates on existing loans by 100-150 basis points and complete refinancing of loans for its 1,200 MW Ratnagiri power plant by December. Tata Teleservices launched 3G mobile services in nine circles, becoming the first private operator to offer 3G services in India. The EU has offered suggestions to prevent wrongful seizure of Indian generic drugs in transit through Europe to address India's concerns. India expects progress on relaxing

This document discusses hemodynamic monitoring and blood flow measurement. It notes that physical assessment of patients is often inaccurate and slow to change. While blood pressure is commonly measured, blood flow and pressure do not always correlate as compensatory mechanisms can keep blood pressure normal even when blood flow declines. The document advocates measuring stroke volume as a more direct indicator of blood flow status. It reviews various techniques for measuring stroke volume, noting that esophageal Doppler monitoring has the most evidence from randomized controlled trials showing it can reduce length of hospital stay when used to guide fluid administration in surgical patients.

This document discusses intellectual property (IP) structuring and its tax implications. It provides an overview of IP, how it is defined for tax purposes, and considerations for transferring, funding, and commercializing IP both within South Africa and offshore. Key points covered include using a company structure to hold IP assets, qualifying for R&D tax incentives, the implications of thin capitalization and transfer pricing rules, and navigating exchange control when moving IP across borders. The goal is to maximize value from IP while managing tax obligations and protecting the IP assets.
This document discusses intellectual property (IP) and its growing role and recognition globally and in South Africa. It contains the following key points:
1) IP plays an important role in innovation and the economy, contributing significantly to employment and GDP in both the EU and US.
2) China's focus on IP is increasing rapidly, with the number of civil IP cases rising 46% in 2012 and Chinese companies on track to file over 500,000 patents by 2015.
3) There are at least 19 recognized IP-based business models that have emerged, including IP licensing, enforcement, and analytics companies.
4) While IP is increasingly recognized by businesses and policies in South Africa, the reality is that IP
