Natural Landscaping Design Guidelines – A Guide For Developers

GUIDING PRINCIPALS OF NATURAL LANDSCAPING

Environmental Protection and Enhancement: The Village has already incorporated several environmental protection and enhancement features into design guidelines. Greenways and pocket parks, boulevards, and nature preserves are examples of how the Village is creating environmentally friendly development. Having naturally landscaped areas will further complement these design elements, while enhancing and preserving the area’s historical origin.

Energy Conservation: Studies indicate that areas that are naturally landscaped, especially retention ponds, use significantly lower amounts of energy for storm water management and flood control than traditional, manicured landscaping does.

High-quality Construction and Aesthetic Design: Other communities have received national attention for their beauty and design that combines town and landscape planning. While staff does not see the Village reaching the intensity of some of these towns, there are opportunities to incorporate and encourage natural landscaping in both existing and future developments.

Lowering Your Blood Pressure With DASH

Introduction

What you choose to eat affects your chances of developing high blood pressure, or hypertension (the medical term). Recent studies show that blood pressure can be lowered by following the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan—and by eating less salt, also called sodium.

While each step alone lowers blood pressure, the combination of the eating plan and a reduced sodium intake gives the biggest benefit and may help prevent the development of high blood pressure. This booklet, based on the DASH research findings, tells how to follow the DASH eating plan and reduce the amount of sodium you consume. It offers tips on how to start and stay on the eating plan, as well as a week of menus and some recipes. The menus and recipes are given for two levels of daily sodium consumption—2,300 and 1,500 milligrams per day. Twenty-three hundred milligrams is the highest level considered acceptable by the National High Blood Pressure Education Program. It is also the highest amount recommended for healthy Americans by the 2005 “U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans.” The 1,500 milligram level can lower blood pressure further and more recently is the amount recommended by the Institute of Medicine as an adequate intake level and one that most people should try to achieve.

HP Oracle Exadata Storage Server Data Sheet

Building Scalable Storage Grids

Sun Oracle Exadata Storage Servers can be installed in to a standard 19-inch rack and are connected to database servers via InfiniBand. Exadata Storage Servers have dual 40 Gigabit InfiniBand links that provide connectivity many times faster than traditional storage or server networks. Further, Oracle’s interconnect protocol uses direct data placement to ensure very low CPU overhead by directly moving data from the wire to database buffers with no extra data copies.
Exadata Storage Servers are architected to scale-out easily. To achieve higher performance and greater storage capacity, additional Exadata Storage Servers are added to the configuration. This, combined with faster InfiniBand interconnect, Exadata Smart Flash Cache and the reduction of data transferred due to offload processing, yields very large performance improvements. A 10x improvement in query performance compared to traditional database storage architectures is common, with much greater improvement possible.

Conducting a SWOT Analysis of Your Agricultural Business

Strengths and Weaknesses
The first two sections of the SWOT analysis usually examine the internal workings of your farm business. These issues or items are usually within the control of the business owners. One example could be future management of the business. Is there a next generation owner/manager who has the interest in the business and the ability to manage the complexities of the business? Another example could be the financial position of the business. Does the farm business have too much debt held as short term?
Here are some sample questions that can be asked to assist in determining your business’ strengths and weaknesses.

Opportunities and Threats
The second part of the SWOT analysis requires you to look outside your business at issues that you cannot control but can manage to enhance or reduce their impact on your business. An example for a livestock producer could be the development of the neighboring farm into single-family housing units. Here are some sample questions that can be asked to assist in determining opportunities and threats to your business.

Fortran Programming Guide

This guide presents the essential information programmers need to develop efficient applications using the Sun WorkShop™ Fortran compilers, f77 (Fortran 77) and f95 (Fortran 95). It presents issues relating to input/output, program development, use and creation of software libraries, program analysis and debugging, numerical accuracy, porting, performance, optimization, parallelization, and the C/Fortran interface.

This guide is intended for scientists, engineers, and programmers who have a working knowledge of the Fortran language and wish to learn how to use the Sun Fortran compilers effectively. Familiarity with the Solaris operating environment or UNIX® in general is also assumed.

The companion Fortran User’s Guide describes the compile-time environment and command-line options for the Sun WorkShop™ 6 Fortran compilers: f77 (FORTRAN 77) and f95 (Fortran 95).

Other Fortran manuals in this collection include the Fortran Library Reference, and the FORTRAN 77 Language Reference. See “Accessing Related Documentation” on page 6.
