The document summarizes the situation in Palestine based on a 2011 report from the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC). It notes that over 3.7 million Palestinians live in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with most of the agricultural land located in the West Bank. Agriculture is important for food security, jobs, and protecting land from Israeli confiscation. However, the sector faces difficulties from Israeli occupation, including restrictions on movement, land and water confiscation, and attacks in Gaza. The UAWC works to support farmers, protect their rights, strengthen capacity during emergencies, and promote sustainability through programs like olive oil marketing and fair trade certification.

The document discusses various horticulture schemes run by the central and state governments of India. The key schemes discussed are the National Horticultural Mission (NHM), the Micro Irrigation Scheme, and schemes run by the National Horticulture Board. NHM aims to promote holistic growth of horticulture through increasing production, establishing synergies between programs, and generating employment. It provides assistance for activities like nursery development, vegetable seed production, orchard establishment, and post-harvest infrastructure creation. The Micro Irrigation Scheme provides subsidies for drip and sprinkler irrigation systems.
Opportunities in agriculture sector
India has great potential to be the food basket of the world due to its diverse agricultural resources and large workforce in agriculture. However, currently 20% of food produced in India is wasted due to an inefficient supply chain and lack of cold storage infrastructure and food processing industry. Building an efficient supply chain using modern techniques could help India serve its population with value-added food while ensuring good prices for farmers. The food processing industry has an important role to play in linking farmers to consumers in India and abroad. Developing a fully integrated cold chain logistics system including cold storage, transportation, packaging and information management could help reduce waste and make India a leading global food supplier.

Brain and language
The document discusses the relationship between the brain and language. It notes that the brain is composed of two hemispheres, the left controlling the right side of the body and vice versa. Research has shown that language is lateralized to the left hemisphere. Areas like Broca's area and Wernicke's area in the left hemisphere are linked to language abilities. Damage to these areas can cause aphasias, impairing speech, comprehension and word retrieval. The study of brain damage and its effects on language has furthered understanding of this relationship.
Camera shot
The document discusses the camera shots and angles used in filming an indie music video. Long shots of the studio were used to suit the fast pace of the song, while close-ups were reserved for slower, more emotional moments filmed at a museum. Various shots like long shots, medium shots, and close-ups were chosen to help viewers understand the narrative and represent the theme of the story by bringing the audience into the world of the video. Close-ups in particular were used to create the star image but not extreme close-ups due to limitations of the camera equipment.
General info
Digital storytelling involves creating short movies that combine narrative with digital content like images, sounds, and video. Students will work in groups to create an 8-10 minute digital story on a social sciences topic from their discipline or course book. The story should include creative, original narration with each student contributing their voice. Recommended free software for the project includes Microsoft Photo Story 3 and Windows Movie Maker.

Israel ext
The document provides information on agriculture and agricultural extension in Israel. It notes that Israel has a long history of agricultural extension dating back to the 1880s. Currently, the main agency responsible for agricultural extension is the Joint Centre for Agricultural Extension, which is run jointly by the Israeli government and Jewish Agency. It oversees various sections including training and guidance for new settlements, publications, audiovisual aids, home economics, and auxiliary farms. Agricultural production in Israel accounts for only about 3% of GDP and employs a small workforce of 2.5% of the population, though farmers have a high professional level and invest in advanced technologies. Israel has undergone different stages of agricultural development from traditional to diversified to specialized agriculture focused on local and export markets

Regional Agricultural Policy: What Lessons for Africa’s CAADP from Europe’s C...
Regional Agricultural Policy: What Lessons for Africa’s CAADP from Europe’s C...Stephanie van der Walt
In 2003, the Assembly of the African Union (AU) adopted the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) aimed at kick-starting agricultural-sector growth in all member states. While coordination takes place at the pan-African level, CAADP’s implementation is driven by parallel regional and national processes that essentially subject the Programme’s aims to pre-existing institutional and regulatory frameworks within these jurisdictions -- an approach which has historically contributed to the slow rate of integration on the continent.
In the wake of the Second World War, the founding members of the European Community (EC) responded to low agricultural outputs and widespread hunger, as faced in Africa today, by incorporating the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) into the EC’s treaty framework from the very onset.
While the CAP’s original function (i.e. to facilitate government-subsidised production) is quite different from that of CAADP (i.e. to promote agricultural investment, policy coherence and increased regional trade) its stated outcomes, namely food security, improved agricultural productivity and competitive rural incomes, are quite closely aligned. This presentation provides an overview of food insecurity in Africa currently and how the enforceablility of regional strategies have contributed to alleviating problems of production and trade barriers, with an emphasis on the European experience.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
