Landscaping for Clean Water and Healthy Streams

The purpose of this guide

The Oregon Rain Garden Guide was written to help Oregonians learn how to design and build rain gardens to treat the stormwater runoff from their own homes or businesses. Rain gardens are “gardens with a purpose”; they help reduce the amount of excess water and associated pollutants reaching local lakes, streams, and bays. Ultimately this results in healthier waterways, fish, other wildlife, and people.

This how-to guide provides information specific to Oregon’s conditions, including the rainfall and appropriate plants for your site. You don’t have to be a stormwater, garden, or landscape professional to use this guide. It provides the necessary information to safely build and maintain a rain garden, along with references for more detailed guidance for special conditions. You may also contact the authors and partners directly for more information.

Web Transaction Tutorial

Web Transaction Tutorial
This tutorial describes how you can create Web transactions using the Web transaction programming model. Web transactions are Internet-enabled R/3 transactions.

Thanks to the Internet Transaction Server (ITS), which links the R/3 System to the Internet, you can turn R/3 transactions into Web transactions, and run them as Internet Application Components (IACs) from any suitable Web browser.

You develop Web transactions both inside and outside the R/3 System:

  • Inside R/3, you use the ABAP Workbench to create a transaction by developing an ABAP dialog program.
  • Outside R/3, you use the SAP@Web Studio to enable the transaction for Internet use by creating an ITS service, which contains all the components required to implement and run an IAC.

What the Tutorial Covers
This tutorial is designed to be read as a continuous document. It covers all the steps you have to take to convert R/3 transactions to Web transactions, and demonstrates specific features of interest in the context of Web transaction development.

Home Depot’s Vendor Routing Guide

A little bit of history

Routing guides first surfaced when retail chains began to broaden their geographic reach through more locations, and simultaneously increased the variety of products they offered within their stores. This increase of stores and vendors created a logistical challenge as product needed to be efficiently routed to various locations but was shipped, labeled, and packed in an infinite variety of ways. Think Walmart.

Imagine how many different vendors they must coordinate with to stock the shelves of a single store. Then imagine adding hundreds, then thousands, of stores. It is easy to realize that product needs to be delivered to stores and distribution centers in a uniform manner – packaged, labeled, and shipped the same – no matter who the vendor is.

To achieve this uniformity, retailers created a document for vendors that details how they want product to arrive. And the routing guide was born.

Parents Guide To Airsoft

Airsoft is a team-based game that promotes sportsmanship and quick thinking. Most of the time, there are two or more teams that participate in military simulation missions, which basically means we are “playing army.” Missions can be as simple or as complicated as desired, but generally involve accomplishing a simple goal while fending off opposing players. Players eliminate each other by successfully shooting them with a 6mm plastic BB from an Airsoft toy. Since no mark left by the BB contrary to the paint left from a paintball, it is up to players to be honest and call themselves out when they are struck.

Is Airsoft dangerous?

Airsoft is a game that involves multiple players firing little plastic balls at each other from relatively powerful toys. Without proper safety equipment, injury to eyes and chipping of teeth is very likely. It is required that participants wear approved goggles and full-face protection. The certification level of any given eyewear will be clearly marked on the packaging or can be verified by contacting the manufacturer directly.

Fire Safe Student Housing

Introduction

As a campus or fraternal housing administrator, you have the duty to provide a safe environment for the college students housed in your facilities. You are faced with a number of different issues competing for your attention and for the limited resources available to address them. You must decide how to best allocate available resources among competing demands and interests. To make these decisions wisely, you need to understand the risk factors involved, the alternatives available to you and the relative costs and benefits of the different options.
