Caiuá Ecological Station. The Caiuá Ecological Station () is an ecological station in the state of Paraná, Brazil.
It was created as compensation for flooding caused by the Rosana dam on the Paranapanema River, and protects an area of Atlantic Forest to the south of the dam.

Location

The Caiuá Ecological Station (ESEC) is in the municipality of Diamante do Norte, Paraná.
It has an area of .
It is  from the municipal seat.
It protects one of the last significant areas of pristine seasonal semi-deciduous forest, with little disturbance by humans.
The reserve protects an area of forest near the Paranapanema River, both above and below the Rosana Hydroelectric Plant.
This was built between July 1980 and March 1987, with a  reservoir and capacity of 353MW.

History

Construction of the Rosana dam caused the flooding of about  of fertile land and floodplains, and eviction of 270 families.
In Paraná  of forest and floodplains were submerged, and  of agricultural land.
In the area of the ESEC, what had been an inland forest became a marginal forest along the reservoir.
The government negotiated with CESP (Companhia Energética de São Paulo) for compensation for the flooding damage.

The Fazenda Macuco, which had been preserved by its owners for leisure and hunting, was located next to the hydroelectric plant.
It was expropriated in June 1989, and became the property of the state, managed by the Instituto de Terras Cartografia e Florestas (ITCF), now the 	Instituto Ambiental do Paraná (IAP).
The Caiuá Ecological Station was created by state governor decree 4.264 of 21 November 1994.
The original area was . 
This was expanded by state decree 3.932 of 4 December 2008 to .

Fishing regulations were published on 2 October 2008, covering conservation areas and their buffer zones in the Paraná River basin.
They were the Morro do Diabo State Park, Rio do Peixe State Park, Aguapeí State Park, Mico Leão Preto Ecological Station, Rio Ivinhema State Park, Ilha Grande National Park, Caiuá Ecological Station and Iguaçu National Park.
The ESEC would be part of the proposed Trinational Biodiversity Corridor, which aims to provide forest connections between conservation units in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina in the Upper Paraná ecoregion.

Environment

The terrain is flat or gently undulating.
The Köppen climate classification is "Cfa", humid subtropical climate. Average temperatures range from a minimum of  to a maximum of , with an average of .
Average annual rainfall is , with greatest rainfall in December–February.
The ESEC is in the Atlantic Forest biome, and is mostly covered with submontane seasonal semi-deciduous forest, with some alluvial formations caused by periodic floods of the Paranapanema River.
The most representative tree species is the Aspidosperma polyneuron, with average diameter at chest height of about .
The narrow alluvial strip in the north is dominated by Calophyllum brasiliense.
As of 2009 there had been no inventory of the fauna.

Incremental learning. In computer science, incremental learning is a method of machine learning in which input data is continuously used to extend the existing model's knowledge i.e. to further train the model. It represents a dynamic technique of supervised learning and unsupervised learning that can be applied when training data becomes available gradually over time or its size is out of system memory limits. Algorithms that can facilitate incremental learning are known as incremental machine learning algorithms.

Many traditional machine learning algorithms inherently support incremental learning.
Other algorithms can be adapted to facilitate incremental learning. 
Examples of incremental algorithms include
decision trees
(IDE4,
ID5R and gaenari),
decision rules,
artificial neural networks
(RBF networks,
Learn++,
Fuzzy ARTMAP,
TopoART, and
IGNG) or
the incremental SVM.

The aim of incremental learning is for the learning model to adapt to new data without forgetting its existing knowledge.  Some incremental learners have built-in some parameter or assumption that controls the relevancy of old data, while others, called stable incremental machine learning algorithms, learn representations of the training data that are not even partially forgotten over time. Fuzzy ART and TopoART are two examples for this second approach.

Incremental algorithms are frequently applied to data streams or big data, addressing issues in data availability and resource scarcity respectively. Stock trend prediction and user profiling are some examples of data streams where new data becomes continuously available.  Applying incremental learning to big data aims to produce faster classification or forecasting times.

Sol Paragliders. Sol Paragliders (Sun Paragliders) is a Brazilian aircraft manufacturer based in Jaraguá do Sul and founded by Ary Carlos Pradi. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of paragliders and paramotor wings in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft. The company also produces paragliding harnesses, rescue parachutes and accessories.

History
The company was founded in 1979 as a hang glider manufacturer and started building paragliders in 1991 under the name FUN Gliders. By 1993, 70% of their business was for export. The company name was changed to Sol Paragliders in 1996 and shortly thereafter the company started a partnership with Nova Performance Paragliders of Austria. By 1999 the company had its own design and certification staff and decided to take its brand globally without partners. Between 2000 and 2010 pilots flying Sol gliders set 15 world records. In 2004 the company was certified by the German Deutscher Hängegleiterverband e.V. (DHV)

Sol's Super Sonic established itself as a leading design for flying paraglider aerobatics, with its introduction in 2005. In 2009 Kamira Pereira set four new women's world records on Sol gliders, while Horacio Llorens set the world record spins with 281 set in Nepal, an achievement that got widespread news coverage. The Sol Tracer was a highly competitive design and Frank Brown was named Brazilian champion for the ninth time and Kamira Pereira women's champion for the fifth time flying the design. In 2011 the company won an Innovation Award of the Year for its Sol One design. In 2012 four more world records were set on Sol gliders.

The company also has a museum that was opened on 18 February 2011.

In 2004 the company had about 50 employees. By 2010 that had grown to 120 employees, of whom 22 were paraglider pilots.

Straight Street Bridge. The Straight Street Bridge is a vehicular bridge over the Passaic River in Paterson, New Jersey, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Original construction and description
The single span Pennsylvania (petit) truss bridge on brownstone ashlar abutments. It was completed in 1907, using  the substructure which had been built for an earlier bridge that had washed away in Passaic River Flood of 1903. The truss type was originally designed for the Pennsylvania Railroad to support the heavy loads required for rail traffic and were seldom used on roads, the industrial setting of Paterson at the time influenced the decision to build a stronger bridge at that location.

Rehabilitation and historic status

A historic rehabilitation of the bridge completed in 2003 by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) with little visible change to the superstructure while components below the bridge deck and the cantilevered sidewalks were replaced. Round headed bolts replaced deteriorated rivets, a hollow steel rail barrier to protect the trusses was used in place of standard guide rail and historic style light fixtures were installed. Deteriorated elements were replaced and the original sidewalk railing was sandblasted, painted and re-installed.

A historic bridge survey conducted by NJDOT from 1991–1994 determined that the bridge was eligible for listing on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places. In March 1997, the State Historic Preservation Office concurred (ID#4209). It was listed on the state register January 30, 2018 and the federal register on March 22, 2018.

Hughes-Irons Motor Company. The Hughes-Irons Motor Company is a historic building located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States.  Floyd Hughes and George Irons established an automobile sales and service business selling Ford cars and tractors.  They built the eastern six bay section of this building in 1917. The two-story brick structure exhibits elements of the Mission Revival style.  Irons left the partnership three years later and was replaced by Parmer.  Hughes-Parmer added the four western bays in 1923, before the business split into two different companies.  Parmer maintained the Ford dealership in the original building and Hughes opened a Chevrolet dealership in the addition.  Parmer was replaced by the Atlantic Auto Company in 1930.  They were the first in a long line of automobile repair shops and dealerships that occupied the original section of the building.  Hughes remained in the addition until 1979, although they expanded into the neighboring building to the west in 1944.  Restoration of the building began in 2008, reversing the alterations done to its main facade.  The local chamber of commerce occupies the main floor, and the second floor was converted into apartments. J. Chris Jensen was the architect, and the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
