![]() Today, DEP forestry experts work to ensure the health of New Jersey’s woodlands, important to many New Jersey residents for recreation and solitude. This was a time when much of New Jersey’s woodlands had been cleared for farming, logging, charcoal production, and firewood. It’s especially popular with landowners in northern New Jersey, which is part of the range in which it does really well.”īut for all the different ways people are using trees today, the process for gathering the acorns to planting them has not changed much since the nursery got involved in reforestation efforts in 1907 with the goal or rebuilding New Jersey’s forest resources. “The northern red oak is definitely the most popular because it’s our state tree. People seem to have a strong connection to them because of their stately beauty, habitat values, and historic importance in helping build New Jersey, said Susan Pontoriero, a forestry technician at the nursery since 1978. While the nursery grows a large variety of hardwoods and conifers for reforestation efforts, the oaks are among the most popular. ![]() The nursery, located in the northern Pinelands of Ocean County, sells trees to property owners who are planting them around their homes to reduce heating and cooling costs, to prevent erosion, to abate traffic noise, to serve as protective windbreaks – and simply because they value trees. In this way, they will be helping thousands of people make connections to the land and to the environment they cherish. They also will be sold at production cost to property owners, environmental groups, civic groups and other state and federal agencies for reforestation efforts, both small-scale and large-scale. In less than a year, the oak saplings grown from the acorns collected this fall will be used to reforest state lands that have lost trees to insect infestations, disease and overgrazing by deer. “The trees that will sprout from these acorns will be planted in virtually every type of setting you can imagine – from cities like Newark to woods such as the pine-oak forest around the nursery that have been hit by gypsy moths in recent years,” said Joe Battersby, the nursery’s superintendent. ![]() At the Department of Environmental Protection's Forest Nursery in Jackson, foresters and staff are hard at work collecting and sorting this year’s acorn crop in preparation for growing the next generation of oaks – trees that one day will spread shade, oxygen, and beauty across New Jersey. TRENTON – Squirrels aren’t the only ones focused on acorns this fall. ACORN SEASON HIGHLIGHTS DEP’S COMMITMENT TO FOREST HEALTH

Nothing is known about Gage's life prior to or as the outbreak began.Īt some point in the apocalypse, Gage joined a community called the Hilltop Colony where he lived for half his life. Not wanting to feel the pain of being devoured, Gage kills himself. Gage begins to beg to be let in, promising he'll be better, but Maggie still refuses. However Maggie tells the group to not save him since they don't have enough ammo to clear the walkers. ![]() This is most prominently shown when Gage is trapped in a subway train and only Alden and Negan attempt to save him. However, most of the group members don't seem to care much for Gage. The two went along with Gage's bullying and pushed him into beating up Lydia.Īfter Margo and Alfred's deaths, Gage attempts to do some good by going with the group on the dangerous mission to Meridian. However, Margo and Alfred might've also acted as a bad influence on Gage, seeing as they are adults while Gage is just a teenager. He most likely became friends with Margo and Alfred since they all could relate to having lost someone to the Whisperers. His lack of maturity could be due to not having anyone there for him to help lead him in the right direction. He notably hesitates before beating her up, but joins in after being reminded of his friends. His main motivation for bullying Lydia being him blaming her for their deaths. ![]() He is also quite cowardly, shown when he abandons the group in the subway tunnel.ĭespite his faults, Gage was just a teenager whose life was cut short due to the apocalypse. When confronted by the council about this, he is shown to be a liar, saying that Lydia was the one who attacked them. He begins bullying Lydia, a former Whisperer, to the point of ambushing her at night with Margo and Alfred. ![]() After the death of his friends, Gage becomes vengeful against the Whisperers. However, he is also quite troublesome and immature, shown when he and Rodney begin playing with a walker outside of the walls. Gage initially appears to be a friendly teenager, inviting Henry to hang out with him, Addy, and Rodney. And while interest rates may be lower than those on credit cards, they can be higher than those on other types of unsecure loans – since you’re not putting up any form of collateral, lenders bear a bigger risk of non-repayment if you can’t keep up payments. If your circumstances change, you won’t be able to change the amount you’re repaying to suit your new budget, which could stretch your finances and make it much harder to get out of debt. ![]() There are, of course, some disadvantages to this. ![]() Most loans will furthermore offer a fixed APR and will set the repayments in advance, which means that you can be sure of how much you need to pay back each month, and plan accordingly.

![]() ![]() Now install Samba server and Samba client ~]# yum install epel-release epel-repository installed successfully Login to your centos server via SSH or KVM and run below command. To setup SAMBA file server you need to install epel-release repository. Samba service provides interoperability between Microsoft Windows and Unix/Linux computer. SAMBA was developed in 1980 by IBM, Microsoft and Intel as a way to share file and printers over a network. Microsoft networking is based on CIFS (Common Internet File system) which was built on SMB protocol. For a personal Samba server, I'd probably mount it as /home and then the Samba automatic per-user home directory shares could be used to easily give everyone in the family their own private space on the RAID, also easily accessed via a direct server login.Server Message Block (SMB) is used in a variety of operating systems for file sharing and print services. That's pretty much a matter of personal preference. You're probably not going to be adding a 2nd RAID so LVM doesn't buy anything. :-)Ģ) How should I format the RAID volume, (lvm, ext3, etc)? I have used a 3Ware RAID as a boot device, so your proposed configuration sounds reasonable to me, and would be cheap insurance. I have not actually used the feature of having 2 different arrays, but know that the hardware does support it. I have used a number of different 3Ware RAID controllers and have had pretty good luck with them. I have a some more newbie questions if you don't mind.ġ) Since my raid card can support different raid arrays, (i.e I can have one array of RAID 1 and another of RAID 5), should I get another 8 gig laptop drive and make a RAID 1 array for the OS or do you think this is not necessary since the data is safely on the RAID 5 array? Since the machine will only has 4 users at anytime, I don't think I will have any heavy I/O.ĭoes anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or philosophical comments on my plans? I know the SCSI drive will provide better performance however, the drives tend to "whine" at high frequency. I would like to use the laptop drive because it is quite and draws less energy and produces less heat then the SCSI drive. My question is this I have been thinking of installing the OS on either a 9gig Ultra Wide SCSI, (Adaptec AIC-7899W on board controller) or on an 8gig, 5400 rpm, IDE 2.5 laptop drive with an 2.5 to 3.5 adapter, then mounting the 1.5TB RAID 5 as the home directory. I have been water cooling since 2002 and I am "YET" to have any problems with it. On this I will be modifying some old water cooling equipment from "the old days" that I have in a box for cooling and noise control.

From a numerical point of view, why don't I get the same results between the method in 1) and the method in 3) ? I mean about the Phi eigen vectors matrix and the Lambda diagonal matrix.Maybe, we could arrange this relation such that : A*Phi'=Phi'*Lambda_A' Indeed, what I have done up to now is to to find a parallel relation between A*Phi and B*Phi, linked by Lambda diagonal matrix. Now, I would like to do the link between this generalized problem and the eventual common eigenvectors between A and B matrices (respectively Fish_sp and Fish_xc).So at the end, I find phi eigenvectors matrix (phi) and lambda diagonal matrix (D1). % Applying each step of algorithm 1 on page 7 Here my little Matlab script for this method : % Diagonalize A = FISH_sp and B = Fish_xc Here the interested part (sorry, I think Latex is not available on stakoverflow) : I have followed all the steps of this algorithm and it seems to give better results when I make the Fisher synthesis. To summarize, the algorithm used is described on page 7. the second method comes from the following paper.I don't know why I don't get the same results than the second ones below. So, from a theorical point of view, it is the simple and classical eigen values problem.įinally, in Matlab, I simply did, with A=FISH_sp and B=FISH_xc : = eig(inv(FISH_xc)*FISH_sp) īut results are not correct when I make after a simple Fisher synthesis (constraints are too bad and also making appear nan values.

Going through the same process for the second eigenvalue:Īgain, the choice of the +1 and -2 for the eigenvectors was arbitrary only their ratio is essential. If we didn't have to use +1 and -1, we have used any two quantities of equal magnitude and opposite sign. In this case, we find that the first eigenvector is any 2 component column vector in which the two items have equal magnitude and opposite sign.

Find out more about these in our ebook Spatial Indexes 101. So many organizations are now taking advantage of Spatial Indexes to enable performant analysis of truly big spatial data. Spatial Indexes are "geolocated" through a reference string, not a long geometry description (like vector data). They can be used for both vector-based analysis (like running intersections and spatial joins) and raster-based analysis (like slope or hotspot analysis).īut where they really excel is in their size, and subsequent processing and analysis speeds. However, they render a lot like vector data each "cell" in the grid is an individual feature which can be interrogated. Spatial Indexes are global grids - in that sense, they are a lot like raster data. Note: This section of the blog has been updated in January 2023. There is even a new generation of data which features some of the best characteristics of both data types. Many will make impassioned arguments extolling the virtues of one or the other but thankfully since raster can be converted to vector and vice versa there is no need to choose one exclusively. Where is the optimal curbside location?Īs we've seen there are distinct use cases for using either raster or vector data.From which cities do we see the highest demand for our products?.What is the relationship between credit card transactions and social media data?.Some questions that can be answered leveraging vector data include: This is true spatial analysis and allows us to gain deeper insights from the data as GIS evolves to Spatial Data Science. The power of vector data becomes evident when we start to move from simply asking where something occurs to why. The image below which could be mistaken for a vector data layer is a satellite image of agricultural land in Haskell County Kansas. Since raster images are comprised of colored pixels arranged to form an image, they cannot be scaled without sacrificing quality. The spatial resolution of such data will be determined by the capabilities of the sensor used to take an image which is why it can be subject to a pixelated look when using a low resolution. Here are the three most important differences between raster and vector. When working with raster or vector data within the sphere of spatial analysis there are of course a myriad of use cases that can be employed but as has been touched upon already there are specific cases where it can make sense to use one over another.įor example due to the nature of its collection raster is often the only choice when working with remote sensing data captured by cameras on planes or satellites. Needs a lot of work and maintenance to ensure that it is accurate and reliable Higher geographic accuracy because data isn't dependent on grid sizeĬontinuous data is poorly stored and displayed Graphical output is generally more aesthetically-pleasing Linear features and paths are difficult to displayĭatasets can become very large because they record values for each cell Each pixel value represents an area on the Earths surface. modeling water flow over the land surface) Raster data is stored as a grid of values which are rendered on a map as pixels. ![]() ![]() Some specific use cases can only be achieved with raster data (e.g. Map Algebra with raster data is usually quick and easy to perform ![]() But if you prefer something more traditional, we've listed other wallets below. ![]() Our top pick is the Zero Grid Travel Neck Wallet with RFID-blocking if you're looking for something that isn’t bulky and can be worn discreetly under your clothes. “It's essentially electronic pickpocketing which is technically possible but there aren't many reports of it actually happening in the real world.” For cautious travelers who would rather be safe than sorry, an RFID wallet could still be of value. “While uncommon, criminals could wirelessly hide a scanner to steal information from your credit cards or your passport,” says Pedrayes.
