Expanding Access to FMs Act Final
This bill aims to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to require state electronic benefit transfer (EBT) contracts to treat wireless retailers the same as wired retailers. It defines various types of wireless retailers, including farmers markets, farm stands, green carts, and route vendors. It requires states to provide wireless EBT equipment to these retailers to enable immediate verification of benefits. It also allows states flexibility in procuring wireless EBT systems and using appropriate wireless technologies.
Expanding Access and FM Study
This document summarizes a study comparing the prices of common foods like produce, meat and eggs between farmers markets and supermarkets in 19 communities across 6 Southeastern states. The study found that in most communities, produce and organic produce were cheaper at farmers markets than supermarkets by an average of 22% and 16% respectively. Meats and eggs were generally more expensive at farmers markets, but by only 10% when comparing grass-fed options. When accounting for comparable products, farmers markets were cheaper than supermarkets in 74% of cases, on average by 12% lower cost.
Community Support Manual
Community support is essential for farmers market success. Building relationships with community partners such as businesses, government, schools, non-profits, and customers can strengthen the market. Partners can support markets by serving on boards, assisting with operations, fundraising, communications, and advocacy. Engaging the community, documenting the market's benefits, and having a clear mission statement are important for gaining and maintaining support.
2010 SNAP at FMs Fact Sheet
The number of farmers' markets and direct marketing farmers authorized to accept SNAP benefits increased 263% over the past five fiscal years, reaching over 2,400 locations in FY 2010. Redemptions of SNAP benefits at farmers' markets also increased 49% during this period. In FY 2010 there were over 453,000 purchases made with SNAP at farmers' markets totaling over $7.5 million. Nine states account for over half of all authorized farmers' market locations.
Combined Resources
Several states have implemented programs to support the use of SNAP benefits at farmers markets. Iowa funds machine rental fees and transaction fees for farmers markets starting in 2005. New York provided wireless machines to farmers in 2002, but sales were flat until a marketing program in 2005 increased sales significantly by 2010. Michigan is offering a dollar-for-dollar match up to $20 per day on SNAP and reward cards at farmers markets. Massachusetts grants fund wireless machines, transaction fees, and outreach programs to encourage SNAP use at farmers markets.

Choosing The Best AWS Service For Your Website + API.pptx
Have you ever been confused by the myriad of choices offered by AWS for hosting a website or an API?
Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, Lightsail, Amplify, S3 (and more!) can each host websites + APIs. But which one should we choose?
Which one is cheapest? Which one is fastest? Which one will scale to meet our needs?
Join me in this session as we dive into each AWS hosting service to determine which one is best for your scenario and explain why!
Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up Slides
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
