Lack of public awareness is identified as one of the barriers to achieving Zero Waste Bhutan by 2030 according to the National Waste Management Strategy 2019.
To bridge this gap, the National Environment Commission Secretariat (NECS) will launch an educational material, 'Ecology note: Towards a Clean, Green and Beautiful Bhutan' on this World Environment Educational Day today.
The learning materials would impart environmental education to children in early stages of pre-primary to primary, and secondary schools with an emphasis on reducing, reusing and recycling practices.
NECS secretary Sonam P Wangdi said that because of the lack of awareness, engaging educational institutions was crucial to bring a behavioural change towards successful waste management.
Recognising the importance of educating children on waste or resource management, Sonam P Wangdi said that the ecology note was integrated with the revised science curriculum of classes four to eight, which will come into effect from next year.
"It is expected to serve students in learning and acquiring specific skills pertaining to sound waste management and teachers to tailor their classrooms with clear goals," he said.
Waste management division officials said that the ecology note provides a set of educational exercises that can assist teachers to guide the classroom discussions on waste management on a need basis.
The booklet supports students' understanding of sustainable waste and resource management through activities such as exploration, discussion, and presentation.
The teacher's guide accompanying the booklet also provides procedures and tips to enhance the activities.
The officials said that the note also serves as supplementary material for primary school teachers introducing environmental education.
"It can also be used for informal and non-formal education activities as a material for children and adults to learn how to be an environment-friendly citizen," an official said.
Meanwhile, the educational material was developed by the NECS in collaboration with IGES Centre Collaborating with UNEP on Environmental Technologies (CCET), the United Nations Environment Programme-International Environmental Technology Centre (UNEP IETC) and the Royal Education Council (REC) with the support from the governments of Japan and Bhutan
The booklet is also available on the websites of NECS, CCET and REC.

A comparison of salt resistance of three kinds of Zoysia at different salt concentrations
[Caoye Xuebao] [Acta Prataculturae Sinica]. Vol. 22, No. 6, 2013, p. 315-320.
TIC Keywords: Chlorophyll content; Comparisons; Cultivar evaluation; Proline; Salt tolerance; Variety trials; Zoysia japonica; Zoysia macrostachya; Zoysia matrella
"To determine the difference in salinity resistance of Zoysia species, Z. macrostachya, Z. metrella and Z. japonica were used to study the effects on leaf protective enzymes (POD, SOD, CAT), MDA, proline, chlorophyll, and soluble protein content under different salinity treatments (0, 0.20%, 0.40%, 0.60% and 0.80%) after a 40 days incubation. As the salt concentration increased, the changes in activities of leaf protective enzymes and the proline content increased. At 0.80% salt concentration, leaf protective enzymes of Z. macrostachya had higher activity and lower MDA and proline contents. At lower salt concentrations (<0.40%), as the salt concentration increased, the total chlorophyll content and the soluble protein content of all Zoysia species increased, while they decreased at higher concentrations (>0.60%). At 0.80% salt concentration, the total chlorophyll and soluble protein contents of Z. macrostachya were higher, and the decline was smaller than in the other Zoysia species. This showed that Z. macrostachya had the highest salt resistance of the three Zoysia species."

Home » Funding » Small Business Grants
National Institutes of Health (NIH) small business program is a congressionally-mandated set-aside program to encourage research and development leading to commercialization. The program, as established by law, is intended to stimulate a partnership of ideas and technologies in the private sector and strengthen the role of small business in meeting Federal research or research and development (R/R&D) needs.
The small business program at NINDS is used to achieve the mission of the Institute by supporting innovative ideas at different stages of development, including applied bench research, translational research, and early stage clinical trials. While NINDS has specific funding opportunities, many of our applications are investigator initiated and come in through the general NIH SBIR and STTR omnibus solicitations. Please contact program staff if you have questions about which institute(s) would be the best fit for your project.
The NINDS small business program has two main component programs.
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program - A set-aside program, currently 3.2% of the NINDS budget, for small business concerns to engage in federal R/R&D with the potential for commercialization.
Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program - A set-aside program, currently 0.45% of the NINDS budget, to facilitate cooperative R/R&D with the potential for commercialization between small business concerns and U.S. research institutions.
The applicant success rates of both the SBIR and STTR programs depend on the budget and the number of applications and can fluctuate from year to year. While the STTR budget is significantly smaller, historically the program gets far fewer applications. Applicants are encouraged to read about both programs and pick the one that best fits their project.
Both of these component programs are structured in three phases, the first two of which are supported using small business program funds.
Phase I: A feasibility study to establish the technical/scientific merit of the proposed innovative R/R&D efforts.
Phase II: A full research study that continues the research or R&D efforts initiated in Phase I. Fast-track applications combine both Phases I and II into one application.
In addition to the traditional Phase I and II applications, NINDS accepts Phase IIB SBIR/STTR Competing Renewal applications through specific opportunities that focus on the commercialization of SBIR and STTR developed technologies.
Fast-track grants are when Phase I and Phase II applications are submitted and reviewed concurrently. Such applications should include clear, appropriate, measurable goals (milestones) that should be achieved in Phase I prior to initiating Phase II.
Phase III: The commercialization of the product, which should be pursued with non-STTR/SBIR funds.
Note that your firm cannot apply for a Phase II award without completing a Phase I award, as the results of a Phase I are a determining factor in deciding whether there will be a Phase II award.
The NINDS small business program makes use of the following mechanisms, which correspond to the components above:
R41: Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Grant, Phase I: supports cooperative R&D projects between small business concerns and research institutions, limited in time and amount, to establish the technical merit and feasibility of ideas that have potential for commercialization.
R42: Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Grant, Phase II and Fast-Track: supports in-depth development of cooperative R&D projects between small business concerns and research institutions, limited in time and amount, for which feasibility has been established in an STTR Phase I project and which have the potential for commercialization.
R43: Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grant, Phase I : supports projects to establish the technical merit and feasibility of R&D ideas which may lead to a commercial product or service and to determine the quality of performance of the small business awardee organization.
R44: Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grant, Phase II and Fast-Track: supports in-depth development of R&D ideas for which feasibility was established in Phase I projects and which may ultimately lead to a commercial product or service.
U44: Cooperative Small Business Awards. These are milestone-driven and involve NIH program staff's participation in developing the project plan, monitoring research progress, and appropriate go/no-go decision-making. See more information on translational research programs which utilize this mechanism.

Studying to play the guitar may be simple, but there are nonetheless good and bad habits that you need to all the time bear in mind. The strings are paired in courses as in a contemporary 12-string guitar , but they solely have four or five programs of strings somewhat than six single strings usually used now. Some piezo-equipped guitars use a hexaphonic pickup. Guitar effects pedals might help you create and sculpt your good tone.
Inlays are visual parts set into the outside surface of a guitar, both for adornment and inventive purposes and, in the case of the markings on the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 12th fret (and in larger octaves), to supply steering to the performer concerning the location of frets on the instrument.
The MIDI setup can even let the guitar be used as a recreation controller (i.e., Rock Band Squier) or as an educational software, as with the Fretlight Guitar. Launched in 2003 and now with over 1.three million registered customers, is a leading retailer of musical instruments and music equipment.
Humbuckers, which consist of two guitar pickups, offer a tone that is loud, spherical and clean however not as clean in relation to high notes. Electric guitars are utilized in many styles of music including rock, blues, country, jazz, funk, and more. Bindings that edge the finger and sound boards are typically inlaid.
This final configuration differs from a real opposite handed guitar in that the saddle is often angled in such a approach that the bass strings are slightly longer than the treble strings to improve intonation Reversing the strings subsequently reverses the relative orientation of the saddle (negatively affecting intonation), though in Hendrix's case, this is believed to have been an necessary aspect in his unique sound.

Sydney Web and Tech wanted a new look and feel for their business.
Formerly Sydney Web Creations, they wanted to update their name and design to reflect their broader product offering; web hosting and security, as well as web design and development.
We wanted to create something that would make them appealing yet approachable in the market.
Coming up with the name Sydney Web and Tech. We felt this was short, punchy and to the point.
Emphasising on this approach we decided to play on the HTML coding aspect of web development and highlight that within the design treatment of the brand.
We also created a simplified secondary logo (short code, get it?) for the SWT.

Expert honeywell thermostat wiring diagram 5 wire - When you have easy get entry to to the present thermostat wires, simply dispose of and follow the same direction with the brand new set of wires. You could use cable ties, electric tape, or staples (securing wires and cables article). Be sure to take a totally conservative size on how lengthy your new set of wires have to be. You don't want to start over, in case you arise short.
Be aware: a previous installer may also have used a exceptional set of coloration wires. This will be a non difficulty to preserve song of if a whole new set of thermostat wires is pulled. Otherwise tag the wires earlier than getting rid of from the present thermostat, or pay attention to the terminals each twine is hooked up to.
In a scenario in which the original thermostat wires can also have been stapled to an indoors wall stud, and no longer run via conduit, you may be better off leaving the present set of wires, and slicing them off on the entry and exit factors of the wall. Then feed new wires with a fish tape (klein tools). Take a look at your local home improvement stores, or nearby device condominium, for condo availability.
A few programmable thermostats (e.G. Honeywell status wiring requirements) want a minimum of 5 wires, and maybe greater depending on what features you want to function (humidifier, and so on). The extra 5th twine may be for common; imparting stepped down energy from a transformer.

General Treasurer Seth Magaziner Releases Final Report on Work of His Administration
General Treasurer Seth Magaziner today released a Final Report, which provides an overview of the Administration's achievements and progress over the past eight years as Treasurer Magaziner and his team have worked to increase economic opportunity and financial stability for all Rhode Islanders.
"Over the course of my Administration, our office has made significant progress towards our vision of building a stronger, more resilient economy in our state by making historic investments to fix public school buildings, putting Rhode Islanders to work in good-paying jobs on clean energy projects, supporting local small businesses, and growing the State's pension fund that thousands of Rhode Islanders and their families rely on for retirement security," said General Treasurer Seth Magaziner. "This final report provides a summary of our achievements over the past eight years in helping Rhode Islanders to become more financially secure and build a stronger economy for our state."
The final lookback report provides an overview of the performance of many programs and initiatives under Treasurer Magaziner's leadership over the last eight years including:
Strengthening performance and providing greater stability for the pension system under Treasurer Magaziner's "Back to Basics" investment strategy. The funded status of the pension fund grew to 63.9% in Fiscal Year 2021, the highest level since 2008, while the unfunded liability decreased by $408,597,654 – the largest single-year decrease in over a decade. The average annualized investment return during Treasurer Magaziner's administration was 7.3% between January 2015 and November 2022, considerably outperforming a traditional portfolio of 60% stocks and 40% bonds, which returned 5.0% during the same period.
Launching the historic investment in Rhode Island's school buildings developed by the School Building Task Force Magaziner chaired. In just over four years, the program has allocated more than $2.2 billion to repair or replace 202 school buildings in communities across the state, creating 36,000 construction-related jobs and benefitting over 100,000 Rhode Island students annually.
Returning more than $84 million to over 150,000 people since 2015 through the state's Unclaimed Property program. Treasurer Magaziner also launched YOUR MONEY, an automated program through which unclaimed property checks are sent to Rhode Islanders, businesses, and non-profits automatically, with no paperwork required with the support of the General Assembly in 2017. Under YOUR MONEY, over 42,000 Rhode Islanders, in every city, town, and zip code, have automatically received their missing money, without filling out any paperwork.
Putting thousands of Rhode Islanders to work in good-paying jobs on energy efficiency projects through the Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank, which has significantly increased the availability of capital and invested more than $842 million in green infrastructure projects in 34 communities across the state while reducing the state's carbon footprint, saving Rhode Island communities and taxpayers millions on utility bills and creating over 17,250 jobs.
Supporting Rhode Island small businesses through BankLOCAL, a program created by Treasurer Magaziner that moved millions of dollars of the State's cash to local banks and credit unions and has since provided over 450 local small businesses greater access to more than $44 million dollars in capital to help them grow and hire.
Expanding support for victims and minor witnesses of violent crime through the Crime Victim Compensation Program, which has provided more than $9 million to support 3,121 Rhode Islanders since 2015. Treasurer Magaziner advocated for and helped pass legislation expanding the program to provide enhanced support for victims of domestic violence to relocate to safety away from their abusers and mental health services for children who witness these crimes. 1,043 people, primarily victims of domestic violence, have since been provided with emergency relocation funding to escape unsafe, life-threatening living situations.
Building CollegeBound Saver's status as one of the highest-rated 529 savings programs in the country, with over $4.4 billion in assets across over 180,000 accounts. Treasurer Magaziner expanded the program to cover the costs associated with apprenticeships and other valuable job training programs for Rhode Islanders at the beginning of their careers or workers considering a career change.
"I'd like to thank all the staff and community partners who have made these achievements possible," said General Treasurer Seth Magaziner. "Their efforts have made a profound impact on the lives of Rhode Islanders and made our state's economy stronger and more resilient. I am extremely proud of our work together and more excited than ever for the future of Rhode Island."

Welcome! My writing career began more than twenty years ago after I wrote a letter to the editor of the Arizona Republic in Phoenix AZ … and they invited me to write for them. My columns then appeared for eleven years until the newspaper downsized. Based on an offer to write Henry Zguda's story, I spent fifteen years researching WWII, Poland, Auschwitz, and the Holocaust in order to finish HENRY: A Polish Swimmer's True Story of Friendship from Auschwitz to America. I've answered phones for a forensic psychiatrist, ridden in a hot air balloon, hiked the Grand Canyon three times, and lost my car keys more times than I can count. I dream of the day sweet potato fries count as a vegetable.


"MobileIron and Appurity make it easy to improve the efficiency of our customer service across our entire network. We have confidence knowing that we have a 360 degree view of all our mobile devices, where they are and what data they hold, so that we can redeploy them quickly and without any hassle."
Doddle are the click & collect experts and offer consumers the easiest way to collect and return online shopping. Since its launch in 2014, the company has formed partnerships with more than 100 retail partners such as Amazon, ASOS, Missguided, River Island, and New Look. Doddle has a growing network of 80 stores around the United Kingdom and to date, has handled over two million parcel pickups and returns.
Doddle is an extremely fast-growing company that puts customer service at the core of all its business operations. Central to being able to offer a consistently high level of customer service is mobility. This mobile first company runs the majority of its front-of-house business on mobile devices and apps. To stay competitive and manage rapid growth, the company needed an enterprise mobility management (EMM) solution to help them quickly deploy secure mobile devices and apps.
Since Doddle bases all of its core operations and apps in the cloud, managing its mobile fleet required a cloud-based EMM solution. As a result, the company selected MobileIron and its technology partner, Appurity, to help them deploy and manage employee devices and develop key line-of-business (LOB) apps. The company currently manages a mix of mobile devices, including Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 for delivery drivers and rugged Zebra devices in their stores. Doddle also supports a small BYOD deployment for business operations and office workers.
Doddle's focus on providing fast and convenient customer service has been a big factor in the company's success and rapid store expansion. Most recently, Doddle launched a new service, 'Powered by Doddle', whereby it licenses its technology to other retailers to deploy seamless click and collect services in their own stores.
For retail partners, 'Powered by Doddle' means better customer satisfaction, greater foot traffic and ultimately, more revenue. Retailers using the service have reported an average of 32 percent reduction in daily staff hours required and a 30 percent increase in stockroom parcel capacity.
With a Net Promoter Score of 82, Doddle's highly efficient customer service and parcel services are made possible with a mix of mobile devices managed and secured by MobileIron and critical logistics apps developed by Appurity. In addition to logistics, Doddle deploys and regularly updates other apps, such as mapping and in-store apps, to all the devices in their fleet, including its new retail partners. This is made possible with MobileIron Cloud, which enables Doddle to seamlessly install new apps and app versions, update policies, and ensure only approved apps are installed on corporate devices.
"MobileIron and Appurity have been important partners in supporting our expansion," said Gary O'Connor, CTO at Doddle. "MobileIron enables us to easily deploy apps and weekly updates to all our mobile devices. Appurity has developed and supports our core logistics app as well as ensuring our MobileIron deployment is configured and optimized using best practices," he said.
To support its expansion into other retailers' stores, Doddle redesigned its system to have a lighter footprint so it can run efficiently on handheld Android devices. This allows employees to securely access core business apps and process transactions on their devices — even in environments with intermittent connectivity.
Doddle allows consumers to choose Doddle as their delivery address at the checkout of major retailers including Amazon and ASOS, to avoid the inconvenience of a missed delivery. When the parcel arrives at the selected Doddle store, a Doddle employee uses the Appurity logistics app to scan the receiving information and shelf location, and the customer is automatically notified via email and text message. If the customer decides to return the item, the same process is used to ship the item back to the retailer.
"MobileIron and Appurity make it easy to improve the efficiency of our customer service across our entire network," said O'Connor. "We have confidence knowing that we have a 360 degree view of all our mobile devices, where they are and what data they hold, so that we can redeploy them quickly and without any hassle."
Doddle is planning to grow from 80 stores to several hundred in 2017. Key to that goal is the ability to scale device and app deployment and keep their mobile fleet updated and secure with MobileIron Cloud.
"We have ambitious growth plans for 2017 and will be increasing the reach of our services throughout the UK," said O'Connor. "Ensuring we have efficient processes for updating our technology while keeping an inventory of all our mobile devices across a growing store estate is operationally imperative and MobileIron and Appurity are key partners in helping us manage this."

WASHINGTON — When it comes to one of his signature legislative victories, Rep. Tim Walz has some unfinished business.
A little more than 15 months ago, Congress passed the STOCK Act, a bill meant to bring some transparency to the stock trading habits of members of Congress.
But in the days before final passage, lawmakers took out a provision deemed by even some of its supporters as controversial, one meant to bring transparency to so-called political intelligence firms, those that glean information about political dealings from Capitol sources and use it for their clients' financial gain.
Good-government groups worry such firms could use non-public information to manipulate the stock market.
Walz and the STOCK Act's other supporters, New York's Rep. Louise Slaughter chief among them, were coolly upset that leadership pulled the provision, even though just five lawmakers across the House and Senate would end up voting against the STOCK Act as a whole. The bill mandated a largely toothless study on political intelligence firms but left it at that.
But over the past month, the Washington Post has highlighted several separate potential political-intelligence controversies, bringing pause to Walz and other lawmakers.
Last week, the Post detailed meetings with White House staffers set up by political intelligence firms during early implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The meetings were seemingly legal, and insiders told the Post no non-public information was discussed, but Walz said the very fact that such meetings took place — and that it took a semi-investigative reporter to uncover them — shows the need for renewed scrutiny.
What are political intelligence firms?
Market researchers have no idea how many political-intelligence firms there are, except that it's an industry bringing in some $400 million a year, said Michael Mayhew, the director of Integrity Research Associates, which tracks the industry.
Political intelligence firms' goal is to connect their clients to otherwise inside information, either by uncovering it themselves or setting up meetings with in-the-know officials directly, Mayhew said. That in and of itself isn't the issue — he noted big media firms like Bloomberg and Politico offer up subscription services essentially trolling for the same information.
But it gets dicey, Mayhew said, when firms get such non-public info when they, or the sources providing them, know it's not yet meant to be public, and that it could have a "material" impact on financial markets.
"The tipper needs to be breaking a duty of trust, and there needs to be clearly an intention to inappropriately provide that information," Mayhew said.
In early May, the Washington Post wrote about a surge in health-care stock trading just before a government announcement about the sector. That, coupled with last week's report on White House access, has Walz and others pushing for further reform this session.
In the STOCK Act-mandated political intelligence report, the Securities and Exchange Commission said that such reform could help identify potential insider trading in the long-run. "Disclosure of more information could allow enforcement staff to identify relationships or make connections between the various individuals involved in an investigation of potential insider trading," the SEC said.
That, essentially, is what the STOCK Act was trying to do last year.
A few days before Senate passage, lawmakers attached a provision to require political intelligence firms to register publicly, as lobbyists do. The amendment passed with 60 votes, but a bipartisan group of lawmakers were wary about it (tellingly, the STOCK Act as a whole passed the Senate with 96 votes).
When the bill went back to the House, leadership stripped the provision before bringing the bill to the floor, raising concerns that the language was overly broad and could ensnare entities that aren't political intelligence firms, such as general lobbying groups, that might encounter inside information about legislation they care about. The political intelligence industry, perhaps not surprisingly, wasn't pleased with the provision, either, especially because it could have meant detailing their clients like lobbyists do.
"Almost everybody has pushed back on something," Mayhew said.
After the provision was stripped, good government groups were apoplectic, to the point of taking a dim view of the law as a whole. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, for example, said it was "lukewarm" on the ethics overhaul when President Obama signed it into law.
But Walz said there are ways to craft language so that both the political intelligence industry and government watchdogs can be happy.
To that end, Walz and Slaughter — and Republican Chuck Grassley in the Senate — plan to introduce new political intelligence regulations sometime this session. The question is whether the public can repeat the outrage over political intelligence that swept through it last year when a news report implied lawmakers could be using their positions to perpetrate insider trading.
It was a November "60 Minutes" piece that, after raising the specter of potential insider trading among members, caused the number of co-sponsors on Walz's STOCK Act to shoot from six to nearly 300. Will a story in the sleepy Memorial Day issue of the Washington Post have the same effect?
Walz said it might (Mayhew, for the record, doesn't think so), especially when coupled with the public's reaction to a change in the STOCK Act several weeks ago.
In April, Congress unanimously — and quietly — removed a STOCK Act provision requiring congressional and executive branch staffers to file financial disclosure forms to an online database, after groups raised concerns that such a requirement would expose information about intelligence officials.
Government watchdogs were again incensed, though Walz supported the measure, and batted back criticism that it "gutted" the law. But in changing the law so substantially and so quickly — the New Ulm Journal noted it took all of 15 seconds — Walz said Congress should be able to do the same to strengthen it.
"How it was done and how the public saw it, I think that showed, in and of itself, the public hunger for government reform and transparency is certainly not satisfied," he said.
WASHINGTON — The House passes Rep. Tim Walz's ethics reform bill on Thursday.
WASHINGTON — The president assembled a bipartisan group of lawmakers to join him at the signing, including Walz.

1. Watch what you touch: Keep a hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes with you at all times. Workspace surfaces, like desks and doorknobs are teeming with bacteria and germs from other people's contact, so make sure to wipe down anything you touch frequently. Keep your hands clean by washing them regularly, or using a sanitizer.
2. Eat right: Avoid the roadside snacks which are often made using oil of questionable quality, and instead opt for freshly-cooked, homemade food. Be sure to include lots of fruits and vegetables in your diet as they are the natural weapons for combating the effects of cold and flu.
3. Spend some time outdoors: Being cooped up indoors all day, especially with someone already down with cold and flu, can considerably increase your chances of falling ill as well. Go outdoors, and, better yet, engage in some light to moderate exercise while you're at it. Your body will thank you for it.
4. Avoid touching your nose, eyes and lips: In spite of all the precautions that you might take to keep your hands clean, there is always the risk of getting bogged down, as your eyes, ears, nose and mouth are the most common areas through which germs enter the body.
5. Drink adequate liquids: Keep your body clean and flush out the toxins by drinking plenty of liquids like water, green tea, soup, fruit juices and hot liquids that can also help ease the sore throat.
6. Keep distance: Avoid close contact or being near people who are ill. If you happen to be near a person who has just sneezed or coughed, breathe out gently till you are at least 10 feet away from that person. This will prevent the germs from that person entering into your body.
7. Vaccinate yourself: Protect yourself by getting a flu vaccine so your body is equipped with antibodies needed to fight the different strains of flu and virus.
8. Have Honey: Honey is a known antimicrobial agent, and its thick consistency helps soothe a sore throat and provides instant relief.
9. Don't pop in antibiotics: Cold and flu are caused by viruses, not bacteria. Antibiotics will not do you any good as they are effective only against bacteria. They'll only end up killing the good bacteria in your body, and aren't free from side-effects either.
10. Rinse your nose: Clean out your nostrils with boiled and cooled salt water, or a nasal irrigator. This will help clear out the viral particles which contribute towards that nauseating and irritating feeling of cold and flu.
There are many more tips to become battle-ready in your fight against the effects of cold and flu, and like the ones mentioned above, are all easy to follow. Just be aware of your surroundings and watch what you eat and touch, as a start!

In working on a green field system recently (green field means it's new from scratch development) the discussion for a series of services turned to the subject of which type of data interaction should be used. Specifically, should the service be designed using message contracts or data contracts?
Since it became clear that the basic inflection points were not well understood, I had to hold an impromptu clinic. After we finished, I wrote down the salient points and turned it into this post.
The first thing to consider when choosing packaging formats is whether the messages need to be conformed. You see, many technologies don't comply with the published contract specifications choosing instead to rely on the lowest level XML serialization for interchange. If these messages already are in use, or you intend to interoperate with a system that has such restrictions, the choice is usually made for you.
If you are playing green field (as in the conversation sparking this post) it helps to understand that data contracts have good portability which makes them widely applicable. Message contracts are less capable and therefore can have less portability .
So the less conformant you are required to be, the more reason to choose data contracts. The more conformant your requirements, the more likely you will need message contracts or even base XML serialization.

Q: Is Neyman allocation sampling the best approach? I have a data set of the 2020 value of 15,000 unique objects. The value is right skewed. I have to draw a sample of 500 unique objects based on the 2020 value (range = $1-40,000). The present value of this sample (n=500) will be determined, and extrapolated to the broader population (n=14,500) to determine the value of these objects. The sample cannot be larger than 500.  Given the circumstances, my thinking was that it would be best to segment the object dollar value of the entire population, and use this as the stratification variable to undertake to Neyman allocation. The goal being to obtain a sample that minimise the standard error.
Is this the best approach, or would simple random sampling be sufficient? what considerations should I be making when segmenting the cost variable?

A: Answer
If you think there's a strong relationship between the 2020 value and the current value, then it would be helpful to also use probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling. PPS sampling is commonly used by statistical agencies such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which for example samples businesses with probabilities proportional to a measure of size such as total employees or reported income.
PPS sampling can be used in addition to or instead of stratified sampling. So you can define strata, allocate sample sizes using Neyman allocation, and then sample objects within each stratum using probabilities proportional to your "measure of size", which in this case is the known 2020 dollar value of the object.
A simpler and probably more effective method is to use systematic sampling with probability proportional to size. Systematic sampling can be used to implicitly stratify your data, so that you don't have to define strata manually and conduct Neyman allocation. This blog post provides an explanation of how systematic sampling is used to "implicitly stratify" a population for the purpose of sampling:
https://www.practicalsignificance.com/posts/systematic-sampling-as-implicit-stratification/
Systematic sampling often tends to be more precise than regular stratified simple random sampling.
References
Chapter 6 of the classic sampling textbook "Sampling: Design and Analysis" by Sharon Lohr provides a good introduction to PPS sampling. Section 5.6 of "Sampling and Estimation from Finite Population" by Yves Tillé provides a more detailed mathematical treatment of the method of systematic PPS sampling. Page 205 of the textbook "Sampling Techniques" by William Cochran provides a more accessible introduction to systematic sampling and an intuitive explanation of why it often yields more precise estimates compared to stratified simple random sampling.

Software
The 'sampling' package in R provides methods for PPS sampling, including the method of systematic PPS sampling.
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/sampling/index.html
The example R code below shows how to select a sample using systematic PPS sampling, and repeats this 10,000 times using simulation so that we can see how accurate the estimates are based on this sampling method.
In this example, we draw a sample of 500 libraries from a Census of 9,245 U.S. public libraries. We want to estimate the mean circulation among libraries in the U.S. So we define our sampling probabilities proportional to library size, where size is measured in terms of the total number of staff at a library. This makes sense since these two variables are fairly correlated (i.e., libraries with more staff also tend to have more books).
In the simulation output below, we can see that on average the estimate from our sample is no more than about 9% too small or too large.

Digital Railcar Handling at the Evos Terminal in Hamburg
by US Energy Media May 6, 2020 November 16, 2021
Web service gathers train data via HPA interface / Introduction of handhelds planned
Digital transformation in the port of Hamburg: Effective immediately, the tank terminal operator Evos uses a digital connection to the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA). Via a new interface to a cloud communication service, the tank terminal and the HPA now exchange train data fully automatically – manual entry and transfer by employees are no longer necessary. The solution was developed and implemented by the specialist for tank terminal software solutions, Implico.
Every year, thousands of railcars are handled at the Evos terminal in the port of Hamburg. These ensure the rail-based supply of various hydrocarbon products from different refineries and terminals. Until now, an incoming freight train meant a lot of manual work for the Evos team: The employees had to record each arriving railcar by hand, including the associated master data. Based on this information, they generated the required unloading order. This process was both time-consuming and error-prone. Now that the HPA and the terminal management system OpenTAS "Blue Edition" used by Evos are connected, the terminal operators receive all information about incoming freight trains in advance: The data is imported into the system via an interface and the unloading order is generated automatically.
To further digitalize the remaining safety check of the railcars, Evos has planned the introduction of additional mobile devices. These handhelds will be integrated into the terminal management system. They allow the terminal crew to check the railcars directly and digitally – from the master data to the sequence of the wagons to the visual security inspection via checklist. This increases safety as the employees cannot overlook anything. In addition, the use of handhelds eliminates redundant tasks and supports the field staff optimally with state-of-the-art technology. Consequently, it makes the process much more efficient.
Sebastian Palandt, Manager IT and OT at Evos Hamburg, explains: "With the new interface and the planned handhelds, we take a big step towards the further digitalization of our processes. For the deliveries that reach us by rail, we now receive all relevant information in advance – be it the actual wagon data, the order data or the details of the products loaded. Furthermore, the usage of mobile devices directly on site at the train significantly increases the level of transparency and security".
The newest technology for future-proof digitization
The data exchange between the HPA system TransPORTRail and the terminal management system OpenTAS used by Evos is carried out via the innovative web service "iGOS Data Exchange" from the tank terminal IT specialist Implico. In the implementation of the project, the experts used many innovations, such as the state-of-the-art cloud technologies Docker and Kubernetes.
Thomas Roller, Head of Sales, Marketing & Business Development at Implico, outlines the background: "Implico develops cloud-based solutions that find usage along the entire oil and gas supply chain. Since these web services are extremely flexible, companies can implement them quickly and use them easily. The rail interface used by Evos is part of a broad portfolio and marks an important step in the digitalization of tank terminals".
