Scaled Systems Leadership

Network and Ecosystem Leadership

Is it possible to organise complex ecosystems to achieve a shared purpose?  Indeed is it possible to organise something which by nature is emergent, uncertain and comprised up of autonomous and semi-autonomous parts? Often with powerful agents? Are there clear guidelines that might help?

The questions this chapter seeks to answer.

  • What are the general principles of large systems design? For example – does a shared sense of purpose exist or is latent and requires articulation? What are the  activities taking place in the system and are they broadly understood?
  • What are the characteristics of large systems leadership?  Achieving progress among diverse,  often conflicting part of a large scale systems requires different skills from those running an enterprise.

This chapter focuses on answering these questions using two specific examples; the global response to COVID 19, the other, an emergent, thriving global ecosystem of volunteers, committed to sustainable living.

Networks operate at different scales of complexity serving all manner of purpose.   For example, businesses operate a range of commercial networks serving diverse needs.  Behind networks sit organisational structures. Evolutionary trends now see  Agile, Platform and the multi dimensional enterprises emulating the principles of Systems Leadership.

Other networks exist for special interests, we know about terrorist networks and hear of the dark net.  Social media connect relationship networks, promote and organise specific causes (e.g #MeTo, Extinction Rebellion, BLM, Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street).  The internet has enabled the mushrooming of this online phenomena, while COVID 19 has enforced dependency.

As networks scale in size, stakeholders, functionality and diverse purpose, ecosystems emerge around shared interests.  Accompanying scale, comes complexity, uncertainty, disruption, ambiguity, surprise and hyper-connectivity.

Complexity. pencil on paper. A Olivier. 2020

Before addressing the two case studies of a pandemic and a voluntary global movement, the following observations are pertinent to the analysis;

  • Shared purpose – the need to identify key players / stakeholders, activities, and nodes of development within the associated networks or larger ecosystem. Engaging stakeholders in creating common ground, shared purposes and domains of authority and accountability is necessary. This is a first step, accomplished through a helicopter view of mapping and collective learning.
  • Leadership of scaled, social networks and ecosystems is different to leading an accountable goal directed business. Large scale systems leadership requires a different set of meta competencies to galvanize and orchestrate diverse stakeholders.
  • Different tools for building collaborative leadership are required to build trust, advocacy and communication flows.  Top down command and control is not optimal because of systems complexities.   Tools which connect, engage and empower are critical. Understanding there is no master neuron, no one is in control or has complete authority is a fundamental mindset. Therefore leadership maturity and wisdom is fundamental.
  • Leveraging complimentary capacities to advance progress is essential and that is done by having clarity of vision and understanding it’s all up to us.
  • What’s going on in the System – Understanding the activities and developments within the ecosystem’s different networks is important.  By understanding stakeholder’s involvement and contributions, one can create empowering and autonomous conditions.  It is important for leadership to know what is going on rather than giving instructions. This is the requisite leadership at scale.
  • Leadership can cluster ‘what is going on or needs to be going on’ into one or more existing or emergent domains of work. This  allows the ‘chunking’ of activities into semi-autonomous parts. Through understanding the semi-autonomous nature of the parts, empowerment of local decision making, relevant information flows and distributed accountability and authority takes place.
  • Complex adaptive systems operate at different speeds and scales of complexity and thus have different design requirements. Activities (work) within the parts of the whole ecosystem can be grouped into Domains, regardless of purpose.
  • Understanding the nature of existing or emergent Domains of activities within large complex systems (think COVID 19, UNSDGS, global emergencies) allows for recognizing relevant accountabilities and authorities, information requirements and flow, empowerment and decision-making rights at all the different network levels, from local to strategic.

We call this Scaled Systems Leadership. This chapter seeks to explore network activation, activity chunking and systems leadership competencies.

Let us now turn to COVID19 and The Global Ecovillage Network…

Notes to this Extract

1. An ecosystem refers to multiple networks within an umbrella of shared interests.  Networks are regarded  as bilateral cooperation while ecosystems are multilateral – ie will work with anyone in the ecosystem.

2. Andrew will be presenting a series of Masterclass sessions with the Singapore Institute of Management in 2021 and Requisite (as required by the nature of things) Leadership of Scaled Systems will be on the topics.

3. My thanks to Reos Partners for the invitation to their workshop in Geneva at the UN Innovation Lab in 2018, to David Nabarro and Peter Atkinson, for their input at the 4SD lab in France in 2018. Thanks to the GEN ecosystem (fellow trustees and network members), for gently showing me the real complexities/ challenges of consensus leadership. Also thanks to Gillian Stamp for taking EJ’s work from hard physics of design into the nuanced and messy world, now just being discovered in OD. All this has really formative in thinking about fractals of work activity at scale.

Huawei EMUI Display Resolution Settings

It wasn’t too many years ago that the smartphone resolution wars were in full swing. The debate raged over whether Apple’s Retina Display jargon actually meant anything, while Android phones raced from Full HD (FHD) to Quad HD (QHD) resolutions. Sony even went as far as to push the 4K narrative for our tiny phone displays. Fortunately, that’s a mobile trend that hasn’t caught on (yet).

In a complete U-turn, the industry today is much more relaxed about the display clarity argument. In fact, a couple of new high-profile 2020 releases don’t bother with the flagship QHD resolution that we’ve become accustomed to. The Motorola Edge Plus and LG Velvet are content with “just” FHD+ resolutions, as is Huawei’s P40 series.

Do these handsets offer an inferior display experience or has the industry settled the Quad HD vs Full HD debate and picked FHD+ as the clarity sweet spot?

Do you really need Quad HD?

The selling point of Quad HD displays is sharper images and improved clarity. This is more important for larger displays, where a greater number of pixels are required to keep up the pixel density and thus clarity. Pixel density is often referred to as the pixels per inch or PPI number. A higher display resolution also helps games appear smoother with fewer jagged edges. Although rendering more pixels puts more strain on the graphics processor, potentially lowering the frame rate and/or consuming more power.

However, there is a limit on the level of detail that the human eye can see for a given viewing distance. There’s a lot of variables to the science behind human visual perception limits, including the size of the screen and viewing distance. For a small 5-inch smartphone, an FHD resolution has you covered pretty much regardless of how close you hold your device. For larger 6-inch and 7-inch handsets, the move to FHD+ to Quad HD can make a little bit of a difference at closer viewing distances.

The graph below plots roughly the maximum pixels per inch you can see for a given distance in yellow. I calculated the PPI for these distances using the equations you can find here. The PPI offered by various resolutions for three unique display sizes is shown in the column plots.

PPI vs Display Size

Columns above a line represents crystal clear clarity at that viewing distance.

For devices between 6 and 7-inches in size, the crisper density of QHD is just about noticeable when holding phones closer than 30cm from your eyes. The key takeaway is that higher resolutions are only just noticeably better on the very largest phones held very close up. However, most consumers probably don’t hold their smartphones so close. 30cm to 40cm is nearer to a typical handling distance so even FHD has you covered virtually regardless of device size at those sorts of distances.

It’s also worth noting that wider aspect ratio FHD+ displays found in modern devices sit as a nice middle ground between 16:9 FHD and QHD devices from previous years. At typical viewing distances, even large FHD+ phones, including the Motorola Edge Plus, end up right in the sweet spot where we’d struggle to notice any further increase in resolution. The latest WQHD+ resolutions found in the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S20 series fall well beyond our visual abilities even for very large mobile screens.

FHD+ is as good as your eye can see for all but the largest phones at very close viewing distances.

Another important point is the resolution of content viewed on your smartphone. The majority of video content streamed online is still 1080p (FHD), or perhaps even 4K. Playing back at a native resolution looks best, or failing that, scaling up or down by a nice integer factor. For example, 4K is 4 times the resolution of 1080p, so it scales nicely for good looking playback. QHD or 1440p doesn’t divide exactly into 4K or 1080p, meaning that playing back this type of video content actually looks blurrier on a QHD display than it does on an FHD panel.

In a nutshell, the move to QHD and beyond is a case of diminishing returns and it definitely has its share of trade-offs too.

Quad HD vs Full HD: battery life tradeoffs

The biggest trade-off with the move to Quad HD is increased power consumption. There aren’t just more pixels on the display to power, but your phone’s graphics and display processors have to work harder too. We’ve tested this thoroughly in the past, so check out the article below for the details, as well as this newer look at the Galaxy S20 Ultra.

Full HD vs Quad HD: How much does 1440p really affect battery life?

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Battery Life Graph

In summary, powering a Quad HD display consumes roughly 12 percent more power than Full HD. Using Quad HD has the biggest drain on battery life when playing games, followed by watching videos. Flicking through the UI and browsing the web is less strenuous on processing components, and thus less affected by higher resolutions. As you’d expect, setting your phone to a lower display resolution helps improve battery life but not always by a lot. This is mostly beneficial for lowering power consumption when playing games, as the display still has to power those extra panel pixels regardless.

Fixed Full HD hardware saves more battery than lowering the resolution of a Quad HD panel.

On average, picking Full HD over Quad HD adds up to an extra 30 to 40 minutes of screen on time. Although this varies a lot from handset to handset.

Manufacturers disable Quad HD anyway

On balance, the mild visual benefit of QHD and QHD+ is outweighed by the increased battery consumption and lack of native content. We still see very high-resolution displays on modern spec sheets but most consumers probably aren’t using their phone at that resolution.

Although many high profile flagships boast QHD+ capable displays, they are actually set to an FHD+ resolution in software out of the box. This list includes the Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy Note 10, and OnePlus 8 Pro. The LG V50 included a feature to automatically switch to a higher resolution when viewing compatible content, an option that Huawei adopted with the Mate 20 Pro as well.

While flagship smartphones continue to offer QHD+ hardware, many manufacturers have decided that setting their displays to FHD+ offers the best balance of visual clarity and power consumption. The fact that few consumers have noticed the downgrade from QHD to FHD+ is a testament to how small the difference really is. That said, Quad HD is a nice feature to have if you really want your display to look its very best.

More about displays: Why not all 120Hz phones are equal

What’s the minimum you should buy in 2020?

If you’re spending money around and above the $1,000 mark then you should expect nothing but the very best. For a large phone around the 7-inch mark, that would be a QHD+ display combined with a big battery so that you can run the panel at its full resolution for the whole day. Otherwise, FHD+ is the best option for smaller handsets.

That being said, resolution certainly isn’t the be-all and end-all of display quality. In fact, 120Hz refresh rates as well as classic metrics such as gamma accuracy, color, and white balance, have a bigger overall impact on image quality. Full HD+ is more than clear enough in the vast majority of use cases and for all but the largest smartphones. In fact, it’s pretty close to the older QHD resolution and most flagship phones now default to FHD+ out of the box anyway.

The industry seems to have settled on FHD+ resolutions as the sweet spot. But do you agree with that assessment?

Akatsuki Iride is a popular live streamer for the free-to-play game “The Ones Within-Genome”. But what was once fantasy quickly becomes his and 7 others’ reality when they’re transported to the game world against their will. View count matters more than ever before as millions watch them try to complete various high-risk challenges. Only the best will survive in this land that’s always live!

If you like this anime, you might like...

Let me just start by saying the synopsis and tags are extremely misleading. From that you'd probably expect something like Btooom or Danganrompa or Death Parade even. You'd probably expect death, violence, dark themes, a fight for one's life, sinister characters, and bloodshed. Yeah... you won't get that with this. Luckily I read hulu's description first which is slightly less misleading. It's not that the tags and description are wrong exactly. They are technically correct. There are mentions of high stakes and the posibility of death throughout the episodes but you quickly learn these threats are empty and nothing of the sort comes close to happening. The challenges aren't that high risk despite being made out to be and a broken arm and collapsing from poor self care are about the worst things that happen to anyone. So yeah, not really a high stakes survival anime, as much as it tries to talk like one sometimes. Story: It's not well fleshed out or explained at any point but, from what I could gather, a group of gaming streamers are brought to an isolated location to participate in a real life game. (Whether this is on the "real earth", a fantasy world, or inside a computer is a bit unclear). Each character has a game genre they specialize in. The players must complete various tasks and reach a hundred million views to be freed. If you break the rules or act out, you could be placed in a white room for eternity supposedly. Each task has the threat of death, serious injury, or becoming a drop out (not being able to finish and being sentenced to a room forever) attached to it but, like I said, it's empty threats. Nothing ever comes of them so it doesn't have the feel of being high stakes, just the claim. Most of the characters don't have weapons or their weapon is something like a flash bomb.. not very deadly. Most of the tasks don't include fighting of any kind and there's always a fairly easy way to avoid big problems either through the design of the game or the knowledge a character poseses.  The world building in the show isn't that great either. We never get a lot of details. Even a very vague idea of where the characters are doesn't happen until ep 9 and it stays vague. There's not much on the game that these people supposedly played, why they are here, where they are, or anything else. Like I said, I couldn't even tell you if they were in fantasy land or inside a computer or maybe just a very weird earth. Not a clue. There's just not enough information given to make it a solid world or story so the experience isn't that great.  What information is given usually has no significant bearing on the plot or mystery either, from what's been seen so far. Perhaps if it gets a second season but I'm doubting it will. So we're just left with a lot of information to a mystery we never make any significant progress on.  Now it definitely seems like they are setting up for a second season and maybe that will make it a better anime. It could finally make use of all the random information and give us a real ending. I still think it needed more for a first season. It needed a better last episode and more pieces of the puzzle to create the world in the first season, but it could redeem itself with a second season if it manages to get one.  Overall, the plot is weak, even for a mystery getting a second season, it's weak. It feels half done. It doesn't give enough information for a strong background or idea. That's not to say I hate it. I enjoyed it more than my score probably reflects. But I wasn't enjoying it for the plot. The story is a giant mess and a 5 might even be being generous at this point. Animation: Pretty standard. The designs aren't anything special and look like about 50 other animes but it's fine. It works. It's easy to look at. The color choices work, unless it's trying to be a dark high stakes game in which case they fail terribly at creating that atmosphere with the animation. But, if that wasn't the goal then it works. It keeps it light and has lots of cute characters to enjoy. That said, their are some effects that don't make a lot of sense and some scenes that felt lacking in continuity animation wise. Not sure why, but there were some moments where the animation felt very off. Sound: Again, nothing very notable. I'm no expert though. The opening and ending felt appropriate. There were some points where it sounded like they just threw in some gaming background music and it added nothing. It didn't really harm the scenes but it didn't help them either. There was no point. But it was also almost unnoticeable unless you're picky so I don't see a reason to take much off for that. Characters: The characters are fairly flat and predicatable. There's not a whole lot to any of them. I still find them enjoyable as they are but you're not going to find any masterfully created characters with multiple sides to them and complex personalities. One of them literally sleeps almost the whole time and only wakes up when it's useful for plot reasons. And he suddenly has whatever skill is needed to survive. Another is just hot headed all the time. Another is kind all the time. Everything is really basic and sterotypical. They did try to add some darkness to most of the characters backgrounds. You get vague clips of trauma they went through or mentions of things they did or had happen to them but it doesn't have much effect on anything usually. Sometimes it sets off an event that amounts to not much. Sometimes it explains an article of clothing. Most of the time it could have been left out and would have had very little effect on the overall story. It feels like an attempt to flesh out the characters and the plot but you need more than a sob story from the past for that. It doesn't flesh them out. Again, I enjoyed the characters for what they were. They made me laugh sometimes and they were kind of silly. But they aren't well written or anything so don't go in expecting something great.  Some things I did enjoy: Since a lot wasn't great but I still enjoyed the show, I figured I'd point out some things I DID like a lot. The alpaca man is great. He's the guy kind of running things and he's a funny character in a funny mask. It's almost worth watching just for his existence. I also enjoy the giant panda. Who doesn't enjoy a giant fluffy panda?  The overall ridiculousness of the games was kind of fun too and, since the plot was so weak, it didn't take a lot of brain energy to watch. It was simple. There were also a lot of creative twists to the games the characters played. The twists were enjoyable. Also, one of the characters suffered from bad outdoor allergies and another from a sleep disorder. That was actually part of why I kept watching after the first ep or two because I liked that the characters had these. And they were often inconveinent and somewhat realistic. Not being able to sleep without medicine and suffering consequences from that. Sneezing at the worst moments. Yeah that's allergies and sleep disorders for you. It kind of got less attention as the show went on but the fact it was there and used at all was something I liked. Overall: The plot, characters, and pacing are weak. This will never be some masterpiece. It hardly fits the atmosphere of a high stakes, mystery, survival anime either. But, it is fun. It has some enjoyable characters even if they aren't very developed. It has some fun scenes and twists. It's a good anime to pass the time with and you don't have to get super invested in it. I think shows like this have their own kind of value too. Just don't go into it with high expectations or thinking it will be like the typical show you'd find with these tages and descriptions. And enjoy it for what it is. Enjoy the alpaca man.

Whether your horse is recovering from an injury, has restricted movement or is simply under muscled, physiotherapy can help. There are lots of common signs you can look out for in your horse which could suggest they could benefit from physiotherapy with some listed below:

  • Change in behaviour

  • Change in movement

  • Decrease in performance

  • Shortened stride length

  • Reluctance to change rein or weaker on one rein

  • Sensitivity to a certain area when being groomed or tacked up

  • Toe dragging or difficulty clearing poles/jumps

  • Muscle Asymmetry

What is included?

The session will include a thorough background on the history of the horse, followed by a static, dynamic and soft tissue assessment including palpation and range of motion. Treatment then consists of a combination of different manual therapy’s including massage, stretching, electrotherapies and remedial exercise’s depending on each individual case.

When your horse has sore muscles, they guard them causing reduced blood flow to the area and therefore resulting in a build up of toxins. Massage increases both blood flow and lymphatic flow to the area therefore increasing the removal of these toxins, encouraging a rush of nutrients to the area and increasing healing rates. Not only does this help to increase healing and reduce tension but it also has many other benefits such as reducing scar tissue, pain and increasing flexibility and general mood.

Stretching will also increase circulation to the affected tissues and therefore help to reduce pain. However, it is also an effective way of helping to increase your horse's muscle extensibility and range of motion while also promoting healing and the realignment of collagen fibres within the tissue. It is important that stretching is applied correctly, if applied incorrectly it can cause damage and this is why it is important to follow the recommendations of your Veterinary Physiotherapist.

We have three different types of electrotherapies that can be used on your horse at Animotion; Laser therapy, Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) and Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENs) therapy. Each will work in different ways to promote healing, reduce pain and tension. Again it is very important that these machines are used by your qualified Veterinary Physiotherapists who is trained and insured.

Remedial exercises

Compensation is very common no matter what kind of animal you are. If we are sore in one area, we compensate and take the weight somewhere else. However, over time this repetitive overuse can cause injury and therefore as a Physiotherapist one of our main aims is to help reduce compensation. Many exercises can be used to help build muscle strength in areas that are atrophied in order to restore the correct muscle use, such as; static weight shifts, pole work and long reining to name a few. At Animotion your Physiotherapist will recommend any exercises that will benefit your specific case.

Price: £45

Discounted prices available for more than 1 patient at the same location.

*Additional travel costs for areas more than a 20 mile radius from Hitchin*

If I could sum up their relationship with one phrase, it would definitely be "purely joyful." Brittany and Morgan were so full of awe and delight during every part of their wedding day, from receiving their surprise presents from each other (beautiful rose gold earrings that matched Brittany's rings and a wooden watch engraved with a special message to Morgan) to hearing their hand-written vows for the first time (Brittany let out a breath and said "Wow!" after she heard Morgan pour out his heart) to gushing over the delicious cakes and fabulous decor!

Brittany and Morgan have such big hearts, and I could definitely see that they learned their loving spirit from their families! Along with their wonderful families, they made me feel like I wasn't just a photographer on the outside looking in—it was truly such a joy to be a part of their wedding day! To top it all off, the golden sunlight was shining just as brilliantly as the bride and groom! Take a look at their gorgeous wedding photos!

New report on antisemitism at Columbia University, Barnard points to a ‘hotbed for hate’

Source: foxnews
A report released on Wednesday refers to Columbia University and its sister school, Barnard College, in New York City as “a hotbed for hate,” documenting “systemic antisemitism and an ingrained delegitimization of Israel” at the schools.

Alums for Campus Fairness (ACF), an alumni network trying to combat campus antisemitism and anti-Israel bias, released the 33-page report, which cited more than 100 incidents “that have contributed to a hostile climate” at the colleges since the 2016-17 academic year and included “antisemitic expressions, incidents targeting Jewish students and staff, and BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) activity.” The report recorded how the work of Columbia faculty members has allegedly targeted Jewish and Zionist students.

“These campuses are arguably the most prominent settings for university-based antisemitism in the United States,” the report said.

The report details incidents classified as antisemitism under the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition: bigotry against Jewish people often used by the U.S. government and other governments.

Antiwar songs by Larry Estridge
MusicBrainzMusicBrainz United States of America United States of America

Folksinger e pittore americano, nato nel 1948 a New York e morto nel 2017.

Se ne trovano notizie qui dove pero ci si concentra più sulla sua attivita di pittore e scultore:

"My life and work took a significant turn, at the age of 35, when I discovered paint. I was living on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, at the time, and becoming increasingly disenchanted with the downtown music scene and journalism, the areas in which I had previously concentrated my efforts. Painting seemed a natural extension of my life-long involvement with music, but, unlike my songs, musical performances and articles, which were largely bound up with political concerns, painting offered a fresh approach to the world, its harmonies and color, its physical and spiritual dimensions. In recent years, my work has focused on abstract sculpture works in steel and aluminum, which build on a long-term fascination with primary forms in nature and their reflection in diverse art-historical contexts. These spare works employ flat bar, plate and sheet to enclose and carve space in ways that sometimes offer diverse readings of archtypal content. Although intimations of the sciences come into play in these pieces, as well as meditations on art history, many conjure bits of personal history and dream." ? Larry Estridge, artist statement, 2006

Qui il necrologio

Larry Estridge, 68, resident of New York City, Key West, FL, and Torrey, UT passed away at 6:12 p.m. April 29, 2017 from a stroke, apparently a complication of his years-long struggle with cancer. Larry, a graduate of Great Neck North '66, and Harvard College '70, was an accomplished writer, musician, painter and sculptor. As a prominent protest-organizer at Harvard, and in a lifetime of subsequent political activism and commentary, Larry infused his writings, music and art with incisive analysis and palpable outrage. His work, which evolved from the fiercely political to the profound beauty of natural forms interpreted through large-scale sculptures, survives him in the archives of Harvard Crimson, NY Magazine, WBAI Radio, The Smithsonian Institution, numerous galleries in NYC, Key West and Miami FL, Torrey UT, and prominent private and public collections in FL and metro NY. His monumental work, The Psalmist is featured in the permanent collection of Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton Township, NJ and many of his works have been installed in Key West venues including Sculpture Key West and permanent park installations. Before dedicating himself to the visual arts, as a musician, together with his band Nightwatch, and in solo performance, Estridge was a regular presence on the NYC radio and club scene in the '70's and early 80's. Larry is survived by his loving wife Kathryn Kilgore, his mother Evelyn Estridge, and his brothers Ken and Dan Estridge.

Mission, vision and tasks

DTU Aqua conducts research, provides advice, educates at university level and contributes to innovation in sustainable exploitation and management of aquatic resources

DTU Aqua—National Institute of Aquatic Resources—is an institute at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and was previously known as DIFRES—Danish Institute for Fisheries Research.

DTU Aqua’s mission is to conduct research, provide advice, educate at university level and contribute to innovation in sustainable exploitation and management of aquatic resources. We investigate the biology and population ecology of aquatic organisms, aquatic physical and chemical processes and ecosystem structure and dynamics, taking account of all relevant natural and anthropogenic drivers.

The vision of DTU Aqua is to enable ecologically and economically sustainable exploitation of aquatic resources; applying an integrated ecosystem approach which utilizes synergies in natural and technical science disciplines. This approach covers all aquatic ecosystem components and trophic levels, and natural (e.g. physics and climate) and anthropogenic (e.g. fisheries, pollution, shipping and offshore energy) drivers of change, and integrates modern technologies.

To realize this vision, our research and education must be of the highest international standard and innovative, our advisory services must be relevant, quality assured and practical, and our communication with users and stakeholders must be transparent and comprehensible.

DTU Aqua’s research is divided into the following fields:

  • Oceanography
  • Marine populations and ecosystem dynamics
  • Freshwater fisheries and ecology
  • Fish biology
  • Population genetics
  • Observation technology
  • Coastal ecology
  • Marine living resources
  • Fisheries technology
  • Fisheries management
  • Ecosystem based marine management
  • Aquaculture
  • Fish and shellfish diseases

DTU Aqua deals with all types of aquatic habitats—from the North Atlantic Ocean and European shelf areas to coastal areas and inner Danish waters, ecosystems in lakes and streams as well as aquaculture.

DTU Aqua’s research often involves collaboration with other DTU departments and research environments at other Danish universities as well as a wide range of sister institutes in the EU and worldwide.

The Area's Most Trusted Name Since 1974 | Proudly Serving Sarasota and Manatee Counties.

If you’re wondering what’s causing your air conditioner to leak water, consider this:  Humidity extraction is a critical function in the cooling process. A residential air conditioner can produce up to 20 gallons of water every day under humid conditions. (In drought-prone areas, some residents even divert A/C condensate to water their lawns!) As long as all that water flows freely to an outdoor drain or a sewer connection, the process goes on invisibly. When something goes wrong, however, serious proper damage can occur. Here are a few common malfunctions that may be causing your air conditioner to leak water:

Defective pump. In some condensate drain systems, a small electric pump activates when water in the condensate drip pan reaches a certain level. Failure of the pump motor or the float switch that actuates the pump may result in an overflow condition.

Tilted unit. The indoor air handler incorporates the evaporator coil that condenses water from the air. Beneath the coil, a drip pan catches condensate. If the air handler is not installed properly or vibrates into a tilted attitude over time, condensate may overflow one side of the pan instead of draining properly.

Mold and algae. The warm environment of the air handler is a friendly breeding ground for the growth of mold or algae. These contaminants may plug the drain outlet of the drip pan or they may migrate deeper into the drain line and cause clogs. Unless the A/C is equipped with an auto-shutoff switch that prevents overflow, water damage from leakage will result.

Air leaks. Hot air sucked into leaky return ducts may generate excessive condensation when it meets cooler airflow in the ducts. This water usually leaks out of ductwork seams, forming puddles underneath. Because leaky returns also over-pressurize the home and cause energy loss, sealing duct leaks pays off in lower operating costs, too.

Aqua Plumbing & Air has serviced Sarasota and Manatee counties for more than 35 years with trusted sales and service expertise. Let our technicians find out what’s causing your air conditioner to leak water and prevent expensive property damage.

Iura novit Arbiter

A recent decision issued by the Court of Appeal of Genoa (decision No. 1215 of 27 August 2019, Italian text available here) addresses a topic of great interest: the application of iura novit Curia principle in arbitration proceedings.

The case heard by the Court can be summarised as follows.

The claimant, an individual, had entered into an agreement with the respondent, a local health authority, providing for the payment to the respondent of the amount of (then) ITL 1,500,000,000, to be used to build a hospital dedicated to the memory of the claimant’s father.

At a later time, the claimant sued the local health authority claiming the return of the paid amount under the said agreement.

The dispute was referred to an arbitral tribunal.

In the claimant’s case, the payment of ITL 1,500,000,000 to the local health authority would be a donation, which was null and void since under Italian law a donation has to be made by notarial deed in the presence of two witnesses and the agreement at hand was a private contract.

The respondent objected that the donation was valid, as it was of low value having regard to the claimant’s assets and income (under Italian law, the formal requirements are lifted in case of low-value donations).

The Arbitral Tribunal did not accept either of these arguments.  In fact, it considered that the contract was not a donation (under Article 769 of the Italian Civil Code). In the Tribunal’s opinion, the contract was an indirect donation under Article 809 of the Italian Civil Code, since the donor’s intent concerned the realisation of the hospital (and not the giving of a sum of money).

The formal requirements required for a donation are not required for an indirect donation; as a consequence, the characterisation of the contract made by the Arbitral Tribunal resulted in the rejection of the claimant’s claims.

The claimant requested the Court of appeal of Genoa to set aside the award, in particular claiming that the characterisation of the contract, made by the Arbitral Tribunal without accepting any of the parties’ views, would constitute a decision outside the scope of the arbitration agreement, a violation of Article 112 of Italian Code of Civil Procedure and a failure to issue a decision on the parties’ requests.

The Court of Appeal rejected this claim.

The appellate judges referred to the principles laid down by the Italian Supreme Court with reference to proceedings in Courts, which they considered also applicable to arbitration proceedings. According to these principles, the Court is allowed to freely characterise the case facts and the relevant relationship,  seek the applicable law rules and apply rules different from those indicated by the parties. On the contrary, the Court cannot issue a decision on requests, issues and objections not raised by the parties nor examine non-pleaded facts (see for instance Italian Supreme Court, VI Civil Chamber, decision No. 8647 of 9 April 2018, No. 8647, available Italian text available here).

Since in the case at hand the Arbitral Tribunal did not examine non-pleaded facts and only characterised the contract, the Court of Appeal considered that it had correctly applied the iura novit Curia principle, and therefore rejected the ground of appeal.

The Court also rejected another ground of appeal, whereby the claimant claimed a violation of due process, alleging arising out of the fact that the Tribunal chose a characterisation of the contract different from those indicated by the parties, without hearing them on the point.

First of all, the Court of Appeal found that the parties were well aware of the fact that the Tribunal would have addressed the characterisation issue in order to issue its decision on the merits. In addition, the Court referred to the Italian Supreme Court case law, whereby a so-called “third way” decision can only be challenged: (i) if the Judge misapplied the law (if the decision only concerns matter of law); or (ii) if the parties were prevented from presenting their case (if the decision concerns matter of facts and law): for instance, if a party was prevented from raising objections or bringing evidence to counter the characterisation chosen by the Judge (see for instance Italian Supreme Court, I Civil Chamber, decision No. 2984 of 16 February 2016, Italian text available here). In the case at hand, the claimant did not even indicate how and why he was prevented from presenting his case: therefore, the appeal was rejected.

In my opinion, the decision of the Court of Appeal represents a good balance between the application of iura novit Curia principle, on the one hand, and due process and parties’ right to present their case, on the other hand. In effect, not surprisingly similar principles are also followed in other civil law jurisdictions: for instance, in Switzerland, where Arbitral Tribunals may rely on legal arguments or characterisations the parties did not plead, as long as the parties are not “caught by surprise”; otherwise, they shall inform the parties and hear them (in this regard, the leading case is the Tvornica decision of 30 September 2003 of the Swiss Federal Court).

The clients for this project needed more space to accommodate the needs of a growing family, but they were reluctant to leave their location in Venice - one of the few walkable neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The solution was to maintain and remodel their existing 2000 square foot home, while creating a 1700 square foot addition and courtyard on the rear lane side. With an ideal climate for much of the year, a primary design driver was to create a seamless connection between inside and outside, while eliminating the need for air conditioning To this end, a central sculptural staircase links the ground floor with the rooftop deck, while doubling as a chimney to draw cooling breezes through the house. On the main floor, a sequence of pivoting doors opens the house to the courtyard, while on the second floor, windows fold back and full-height exterior panels slide into walls. A system of cedar battens serve as a shading device along much of the addition. View more View full description

If you are a fan of power tools and heights, we could see why you might like the thought of doing the tree trimming in Oakfield yourself, but you still need to determine if the chance of injury is worth it over a minimal amount of cash.

Implementing Equipment in Oakfield, NY

Throughout our tree trimming jobs in Oakfield, NY, a number of the tools we use include pruners and shears. Ensuring that we can give the tree its best appearance comes as a direct result of these kinds of tools. If you surveyed the majority of people about the equipment required to perform a tree removal, they would likely all answer by saying, “a chainsaw.” To their credit, they have probably never completed a removal by themselves, so they do not understand that the tree’s roots are still buried after we cut the tree down. This can result in a major problem if you want to plant another tree in the same area, so we have to have them removed by using various tools, such as stump grinders. Chippers, cherrypickers, and different types of ladders will also be used during nearly all of our tree service procedures.

If you do not wish to invest money into costly tools and end up with a tree that looks like it was cut in half, our tree trimming company in Oakfield, NY is a wonderful option. We offer the most competitive rates, and we will make certain that job gets done in the quickest, yet safest possible manner. If you want to learn more about our tree service or to get a quote, give ARCSA-USA a call at 888-405-6810.

Choosing the Best Tree Trimming Company in Oakfield, NY

According to the Oakfield, New York staff at ARCSA-USA, there are certain procedures that have to be completed to ensure that trees remain as aesthetically pleasing as possible. Since tree trimming and pruning dictate the direction and shape in which the tree will grow, we recommend having both of these procedures completed at least each year. As unfortunate as it may seem, there will also come a point in time where you will need assistance with tree removal. These types of services should all be performed by a tree service firm in the Oakfield vicinity as the work can be hazardous, and you likely do not want to purchase the necessary tools to get the job done anyway. If you do not own expensive tools and do not want to risk injury, our tree service crew in Oakfield would like to hear from you, so call us at 888-405-6810.

Convenience and Friendliness in Oakfield, NY

With regards to picking which tree service company you are going to hire to complete the job in Oakfield, NY, we believe customer service is one of the greatest aspects you should consider. Therefore, we ensure that the level of service our tree trimming company offers is second-to-none. To back our claim, you will notice that we always show up in a timely manner, and our prices cannot be beaten. In fact, we also provide emergency services in instances where it looks like your tree may break in half any minute.

Proper Tools in Oakfield, NY

Assessing the tools and equipment a tree service enterprise has access to is another thing you must look into before selecting who you will do business with in Oakfield, NY. Multiple sizes of ladders along with cherrypickers are a couple of of the most crucial tools every tree business should have. Chippers are another very important tool that all reliable tree trimming companies need to utilize. In addition, tree trimming companies should have easy access to a variety of pruners and shears since these are what actually shape the tree. Lastly, if they promote tree removal services, you will want to ensure they have both chainsaws and stump grinders. While chainsaws are utilized to cut the tree down, the stump grinding tool is employed to ground the stump up before also having the roots pulled out of the ground. Our arborist crew is properly trained in the usage of all of this equipment, and they always bring it with them when needed. For additional information, view some of our service areas: tree trimming Pacific Grove.

Tree trimming and all tree-related services are not something you want to let anyone in Oakfield, NY do since it only takes one wrong move to damage your tree’s appearance. By allowing ARCSA-USA to take care of your tree service demands, you will always be given respect, and your tree will, too. To arrange anything from a tree trimming to a removal, call us at 888-405-6810 at this time. To acquire more information, examine a lot of our venues: Monterey tree trimming.

Proven Way To Find A Hidden Treasure On The Ardmore Coastline

From a majestic headland to an idyllic bay, the coastline of Ardmore surrounds a village that is full of culture, creativity, music, adventure, unforgettable experiences, and great escapes.

But, there is a hidden treasure that once stood prominently on what is now the main beach in Ardmore.

It was a Crannog and we are pleased to present a wonderful account from 1879 that tells a fascinating story of life within a Crannog.

Crannog In Ardmore

In Prehistoric Scotland and its place in European civilisation; being a general introduction to the “County histories of Scotland,” by Robert Munro (1899) discussed the crannog at Ardmore.

The only remains suggestive of ancient habitations known to
me within the tidal shores of the British Isles are (i) a cairn
of stones on a substratum of wood near the island of Eriska,
at the mouth of Loch Crerar; (2) the Black Cairn, in the
Beauly Firth ; (3) some stumps of piles in Ardmore Bay,
county Waterford ; and (4) a curious wooden structure recently discovered at Dumbuck within the tidal area of the
Clyde.

… The “submarine crannog” at Ardmore, discovered by Mr
R. J. Ussher, 3 covers an oval space about 100 feet in diameter,
and contains piles in a stratum of peat. The present sub-
marine position of these remains may be reasonably accounted
for on the strength of the evidence that a submergence of the
land, since Neolithic times, has taken place along the southern
shores of England and Ireland, while, during the corresponding period, the very opposite change has been proved to have
occurred in Scotland and the north of Ireland. For further
references to marine dwellings see ‘Lake-Dwellings of Europe,’ PP- 3″. 3 8 9, 443 573. and 574.

  1. Donal Donnelly says:

    Ussher’s excellent and detailed description provides important information about relative sea-level on the south coast of Ireland. It complements the geophysical study of a submarine channel emerging from Waterford harbour and shows that the land continued sinking after the Neolithic and possibly after the Bronze Age if the bronze find was in situ.
    It would be well worth obtaining a C14 date from these remains if they still exist.

Introduction of Zirco Knight

Zirco Knight

Zirconia Ceramic Rotary Burs

Zirco Knight is made of Zirconia Ceramic that is used as the material of artificial diamond.
The hardness is very high and the heat resistance is excellent but the surface is very smooth.
Therefore, the cut dust is hardly adhered to the head of Zirco Knight. Furthermore, even if it
is used for a long time, it is not heated and can smoothly grind without melting.

In comparison with the Carbide burs, the finished surface
by Zirco Knight is smoother than one machined by Carbide burs.
Moreover, Zirco Knight is not almost clogged with the aluminum
dust when cutting the aluminum materials.

In the hardness, Zirco Knight is nearly the Tungsten Carbide
and the strength is also very high. As one of the advantages,
it is possible to wash the head part of Zirco Knight with the water.

In the line-up, we are preparing 4 shapes such as “Taper”, “Bullet”, “Cylinder” and “Slim nose”.
The available mesh size is “Coarse”, “Medium” and “Fine” as follows.

* Shaft size : 2.34 mm dia. only.

Fail/Refuse to Provide Breath Sample

A person is guilty of the offence of refusing to provide a breath or oral fluid sample if the Police can prove beyond reasonable doubt that that person was:-

  1. A driver or driver trainer of a motor vehicle;
  2. On a road or road related area; and
  3. Refuses or fails to provide a sample of breath or oral fluid, at the reasonable directions of a police officer,

Alternatively, you may also be found guilty of this offence, if you return a positive preliminary test, but refuse to provide a breath or oral fluid sample for further analysis.

This offence is deemed to be a serious one by the legislature and by the Courts. This is indicated by the fact that the maximum penalties for this offence are the same as those that apply to a Level 4 PCA offence. This is to avoid the situation were a person would consider refusing a breath analysis on the basis that their reading is so high that they may potentially reduce their penalty.

The maximum penalty for this charge depends on whether a person is a first or a repeat offender. In either case, the starting point at sentencing would be for the Court to record a conviction, impose a fine and disqualify your licence for three years, for a first offence and five years for a second offence.

It is not uncommon, especially if there was a collision, that some form of custodial sentence would be imposed, even for a first offence.

Traffic offences are treated seriously. Therefore, it is important to get competent legal advice as early as possible, whether you have received a penalty notice, had your licence suspended or been charged with a serious offence. Our lawyers are highly experienced and understand the difficulties you face without a licence. We can guide you through the process while dealing with the various authorities related to your matter.

Dicker Data boosts storage standing with Seagate partnership

Dicker Data boosts storage standing with Seagate partnership

Aims to capture a larger portion of the overall NAS and storage device sale

David Dicker - CEO, Dicker Data

David Dicker - CEO, Dicker Data

Dicker Data (ASX: DDR) has moved to boost its storage standing with the addition of Seagate Technology to its vendor portfolio in Australia.

Dicker Data’s new distribution agreement with Seagate kicked off in January, and forms part of the organisation’s strategy to capture a larger portion of the overall NAS and storage device sale.

In a recent ARN report, Seagate said the demand for high-capacity storage drives mostly comes from enterprises or consumers that can afford them, with the drives mostly used in NAS configurations and storage arrays.

As such, over the next 18 months, the company plans to ship 14TB and 16TB hard drives, it said in January.

The partnership between Dicker Data and Seagate comes just a day after news that Dicker Data has strengthened its cyber security credentials with the addition of Trend Micro to its local distie roster.

Dicker Data CEO, David Dicker, said the Seagate product lines are a complementary addition to many of the existing brands that the local distributor represents.

“We’re pleased to be announcing our new partnership with Seagate. As the number of devices sold and the data generated by those devices continues to grow, so does the requirement for storage across all levels of industry," Dicker said.

“Our partnership with Seagate will also enable us to provide a new alternative to our reseller partners who are purchasing a variety of storage solutions,” he said.

Seagate Technology Australia country manager, Charlie Harb, mentioned that adding Dicker Data will further expand the vendor’s outreach to the growing user segments that demand and can benefit from the latest high capacity drives and storage solutions.

“Seagate is always committed to providing our customers with the right storage solutions they need for the unique workloads of different applications. Through the new partnership, Seagate will be able to help more enterprises and creative professionals in Australia manage their precious data,” Harb said.

The deal also follows other recent distie deals for Dicker Data, including TeamViewer and Quest Software.

Dicker Data's shares stood at $2.48 at the time of writing.
