Art and Conservation: Shorebirds
April 28, 2022 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am PDT
Learn about Point Blue's shorebird research and tips to help you draw shorebirds.
Join us to learn about the multinational Migratory Shorebird Project, led by Point Blue Conservation Science. We'll explore the largest coordinated survey of wintering shorebirds and coastal wetlands on the Pacific Coast of the Americas. John Muir Laws will also share tips on drawing shorebirds.
Initiated in 2011, The Migratory Shorebird Project is a cooperative effort of 13 countries (and counting!) and more than 40 organizations to conserve shorebirds and wetlands from Alaska to Chile by understanding the impacts of threats such as sea-level rise, habitat loss, and human disturbance. Migratory Shorebird Project data have been used to: designate new Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network sites in Nicaragua and Mexico; evaluate the health of the San Francisco Bay estuary; guide resource management in National Park Sanquianga in Colombia; measure the progress of a conservation agreement signed by the community at Bocana de Iscuandé, Conservation International and Asociacion Calidris in Colombia; and reduce human disturbance in protected areas of Mexico and Peru.
Sign up for Point Blue news! Stay up-to-date on Point Blue's science, receive alerts about special events, get their quarterly newsletters directly to your inbox, and don't miss an opportunity to support critical conservation: www.pointblue.org/sign-up.
We'll talk with Matt Reiter, a Research Director in the Pacific Coast and Central Valley Group at Point Blue, whose work is focused on the ecology and conservation of waterbirds and their habitat, and particularly seeking innovative approaches to understanding the impacts of threats such as habitat loss and climate change. Matt grew up in Massachusetts and always loved the outdoors. He received a B.A. from Boston College in 1998 and an M.S. (2006) and Ph.D. (2009) from the University of Minnesota. He worked for the U.S. Geological Survey in Hawaii from 1998 – 2003 studying the impacts of avian malaria on Hawaii's native birds and developing disease management strategies for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. As part of his graduate degree work, he spent summers studying the nesting ecology of tundra nesting Canada geese in northern Manitoba, Canada. Particularly, he evaluated the impacts of increasing numbers of nesting lesser snow geese, fluctuations in arctic fox abundance, and cycles of lemming populations on Canada goose nest survival and spatial distribution. Matt has a diverse publication record with peer-reviewed scientific publications on mosquitoes, tundra-dwelling frogs, lemmings, arctic foxes, and birds. He's fascinated by all ecological systems and enjoys digging into different kinds of data. When not traveling throughout the Pacific Coast of the Americas, he's based in Truckee, California.

Constituent Assembly Members
Asaf Ali
General Biography
Role In Constituent Assembly
Early Life:
Asaf Ali, was born on 11 May 1888. He studied at St. Stephen's College in Delhi. Later, he pursued law in London.
He gave up his practice during Mahatma Gandhi's first non-cooperation movement in the early 1920s and returned to India.
He married Aruna Ganguly (1928) which caused a stir as it was an inter-religious marriage and there was a 20-year age gap between them.
Role in India's Independence Movement:
Upon his return to India, he took part in the nationalist movement. He was elected as a Congress candidate and appointed as a Deputy Leader against a Muslim League candidate.
Ali used his legal acumen to help nationalist leaders in courtrooms. The revolutionaries Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru were defended by Asaf Ali, on the charge of throwing a bomb into the Hall of the Central Assembly.
He was imprisoned during the Quit India movement (1942). He was among members of the Working Committee of Congress like Jawaharlal Nehru who were detained in Ahmednagar Fort jail.
Ali also played an important administrative role. He served as the minister for railways when the Interim Govt. was formed in August 1946. In that capacity one of his first actions was the elimination of the separate supply of potable water on railway platforms like Hindu Pani and Muslim Pani. Both in his personal and political life, Ali sought to discard religious differences and promote harmony.
Contribution to Constitution Making:
Asaf Ali was elected to the Constituent Assembly on a Congress party ticket from Delhi. He did not actively participate in the Assembly debates.
Contributions Post-independence:
Ali was regarded as an important statesman. He was appointed as the Governor of Orissa twice (1948 and 1951).
Ali played an important diplomatic role post-independence. He served as the first Indian Ambassador to the United States of America. Subsequently, he was appointed as the ambassador to Switzerland.
He passed away during his tenure as the Swiss Ambassador in Bern on 2 April 1953. In 1989, India Post brought out a stamp in his honor.
Ali was not a member of any Assembly committee.

The CIAL Solar Power Project is a 40 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic power station built at Cochin International Airport, India, by the company Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL). Cochin International Airport became the first fully solar powered airport in the world with the commissioning the plant.

Overview
The plant comprises 92,150 solar panels laid across 94 acres near the international cargo complex. The plant has been installed and commissioned by the India-based Ammini Group. It is capable of generating 100,000 units of electricity daily, and is equipped with a supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA), through which remote monitoring is carried out and the project valued around Rs. 260 Crores(2016). The project components include PV modules of 265Wp capacity manufactured by Ammini Solar, and inverters of 1MW capacity manufactured by ABB
It is coupled with a 2.1 MW solar plant that was commissioned in 2013. This plant was installed by Ammini Solar Private Limited. 8000 numbers of monocrystalline modules of 250Wp with thirty three numbers of 60 kW capacity Delta make string inverters were used in this plant, which is the first Megawatt scale installation of Solar PV system in the State of Kerala.

The plant system is without any battery storage as it is directly connected to the KSEB grid. CIAL gives as much power as it produces (during the day time) to the grid, and buys back the power from them as needed, especially at night.

Expansion
CIAL has decided to double the installed capacity of solar power generation. Another 10,000 panels would be installed in the remaining space to generate an additional 2.40 MW power. Panels to be installed atop the building and the new park would help generate 4 MW and another 7 MW through panels to be installed over the three km-long irrigation canal would take the total installed capacity to 26.50 MW. On 12 December 2020 a 5.1 MW Solar Carport was inaugurated along with the revamped T2 terminal, making it the largest solar carport in  an airport. This addition also took the total capacity to 80 MW.

Environmental impact
This green power project will not result in any carbon dioxide emissions over the next 25 years. It will produce a clean source of energy equivalent to energy produced from coal-fired power plants burning more than 3 lakh metric tonnes of coal. This plant also provides a carbon offset equivalent of planting 30 lakh trees. CIAL sets an example by effectively utilizing the buffer zone area.

Having gutters installed at home is a great way to prevent flooding and even maintain healthy living because your home remains clean. Installing your gutters can be quite a challenge if you want to give your home the fix it needs and maintain a low budget. Installation methods vary, and some gutter systems are actually very much do-it-yourself, which is a great way to save and even have some home development fun.
Before you actually start your gutter installation in Omaha, check out where you can find drip edge flashing. These are places where water tends to collect during rainfall. These are at the roof edges, so make sure you take note of that. When you position your gutter, make sure it is slightly pitched toward the downspouts, so that little or even no water remains stagnant. After all, you want gutters to redirect water and not store it. Some installers recommend off-level placement so that water can flow without any problems, enhancing the gutters' functionality.
Gutter Expansion – This is the maximum amount your gutter should be at to avoid significant temperature changes. Most experts indicate that gutter length shouldn't exceed 50 feet. Should your home require a gutter of greater length, an expansion joint will definitely help out.
Splash guards – These prevent splashing outside of the gutter, which is very much common when there is heavy rainfall. They redirect flow back on the main line of the gutter.
Sealants – These seal off any corners and end caps so that your gutter does not allow water to exit at any other point. Corners tend to welcome leaks often, so doing the right thing by purchasing a sealant will definitely help you out in your installation.
Downspouts – Downspouts carry rainwater away from your gutter to the ground level, away from your home. Make sure you consider the right location so that water leaves your domicile properly.
To ensure your gutter installation Omaha is carried out without any problems, don't forget these important tips to help you out.

The DAB+ transmission chain composed of ODR-DabMux and ODR-DabMod and the Ettus Research USRP or LimeSDR software-defined radio platforms is a very interesting, flexible and low-cost way to set up a DAB+ transmitter. An encoder for DAB and DAB+ is available on ODR-AudioEnc. ODR-PadEnc can encode DLS and Slideshow as Programme Associated Data.
Simplified DAB+ transmission chain with two audio programs.
The ODR-mmbTools are a fork of the CRC-mmbTools whose development has ceased. Opendigitalradio pursues this development, and takes care to create a set of tools that are ready for production environments.
Features: develop new functionality, protocols, interconnects, etc.
The guide gives an introduction in the tools through step-by-step instructions. The sources of the guide are on github.
and generates modulated I/Q data usable for transmission. It can directly interface the Ettus USRP devices, and can also be used with other SDR signal sources.
ODR-AudioEnc contains a MPEG-1 Layer II audio encoder that is used to encode audio for the DAB standard and uses fdk-aac to encode for DAB+.
ODR-PadEnc can read DLS from a text file and slides from a folder, and prepare the PAD data stream for injection into the audio encoder.
The tools can be easily installed on a debian stable system following the install script. It is also possible to install the tools using the PyBOMBS recipes contributed by David Lutton. The release tarballs are available here.

Canada is in no shortage of popular Asian bubble chains in its major cities.
Whether you're a fan of the now highly-saturated market or not, it seems more and more celebrated brands are flocking to us to set up shop and give us that oh-so-wonderful Taiwanese tea-based drink we know and love, bubble tea.
The newest concept with plans to open its first North American stores in Canada is Taiwan's popular Chun Yang Tea.
This bubble tea king already operates several locations in Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, and now its sights are set on two major metropolitan hubs: Toronto and Metro Vancouver.
Chun Yang Tea is known for its authentic and traditional milk tea, this brand makes its beverages without artificial milk powder for a more natural taste.
On Chun Yang's official website, it teases not one but two Ontario locations (5377 Yonge Street, North York, and 531 Yonge Street, Toronto) and one in BC's Metro Vancouver area (7971 Alderbridge Way, Richmond).
The website says all three locations are "coming soon," Daily Hive has reached out for more information regarding this opening.


When the Nevada Space Grant Consortium created its new program "A Community College Partnership Creating a Community of Practice Model to Engage and Retain Minority Students" it was with students like Hannah Mason in mind. Mason, an engineering science major at Great Basin College (GBC) was selected as a Fall 2015 scholarship recipient.
While still in high school, Mason was enrolled in dual credit courses at GBC. Mason graduated a year early with 45 college credits. With interest in quantum physics, astronomy, engineering, electric and computer science, Mason plans to continue her studies of engineering physics at the University of Nevada, Reno. Long term, Mason plans to earn her Ph.D in physics and work for NASA or a private space agency.
In addition to scholarships like the one awarded to Mason, the program provides community college students with individualized degree planning and weekly interdisciplinary biological and physical science study through interactive statewide virtual classrooms.


Oh, so do I Jacque, and the garden around it!
Thanks Catfinch. Now the funeral is over I am sure that eventually I shall be able to move on. Mum is free now and I am happy for her. It's going to be hard missing her.
There is no time line but your own dear, don't let anyone tell you you need to feel anything but what you do. It takes some time and time is needed to adjust and just grieve. Lots of stages to go through for a while but they are all needed. Her beautiful energy and love will always be with you.
So sorry to hear about your Mum Spritz, loving thoughts to you.
Thanks Catfinch, and Janey. So many people on GOY have been so thoughtful and caring.
What a lovely garden. I do like the summer house.
I've just noticed - that is a HUGE purple sage bottom right - is it growing in/over something?
Sid, that's the point where the border is raised and turns into the 'architectural border'. So the sage is trailing over a stone wall.
Keep Smiling for our loved ones are with us in the garden and its beauty all the time - just peeping around the corners.
Sue - it's really hard still! But thanks. Did you see a blog I wrote on the new greenhouse I bought with her legacy? That helps every time I go in there.
I just came across this and was going to comment on the size of the sage, but I see it has already been done and explained! Wonderful picture B. I bought me greenhouse with money left to me by an elderly friend....nice way of remembering and she would have approved!
You have to think like that, Karen. :-) Glad you like my photo!
