Hydrology Research (1971) 2 (1): 23-46.
The characteristics of dimensionless unit hydrographs were derived from floods from watersheds smaller than 1000 square kilometers located in Thailand. The dimensionless unit hydrographs were expressed as ratios of q/qq as a function of t/tp. These dimensionless unit hydrographs were compared with similar unit hydrographs derived from floods on Taiwan and with the unit hydrographs derived from a mathematical model developed from the two parameter gamma function developed from the theory of the instantaneous unit hydrograph. It was found that the unit hydrographs derived from the Thai watersheds had much longer base length and much longer time to peak than similar unit hydrographs derived from floods on Taiwan. This increase in length of response time is attributed to a larger component of subsurface runoff believed to be present in the floods from tropical watersheds.

Where you’re from: I live in a place called Regensburg, one of the most beautiful towns in Bavaria (if I do say so myself)! The city is both old and new: its history goes all the way back to the 9th century and it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006 for its uniquely well-preserved medieval Old Town. At the same time, the universities make it feel very young! It’s a great place to have grown up.
Where and what you’re studying: I am in the final stages of gaining my Bachelor’s degree in political science and British Studies, having studied in Regensburg and Hong Kong.
What is one project or activity you enjoyed at the Embassy?
Being an intern in the economics department at the embassy, the tariffs on steel and aluminium introduced by the United States during my time in DC had a great impact on my work: it was fascinating watching the political process at such proximity! I also really appreciated the department itself because it covers such a wide range of topics. For example, I was able to gain insights into farming and agricultural exports, the implications of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the US, but also the challenges of migration and developmental work by visiting various events around the city and aiding colleagues in their research.
What do you think is one of Germany’s main foreign policy challenges and what should Germany do about it?
I can only echo what my fellow interns have mentioned in this section: finding and preserving unity – both domestically and within the EU –, strengthening the transatlantic relationship and tackling the rise of populism around the world are issues that must be taken seriously. Likewise, making sure the art of diplomacy and skilled conversation is not lost in a world where a Tweet travels faster than actions.
What are some cultural impressions you gained of the United States?
I love how open and communicative people are in the US compared to Germany. Every conversation here starts with a “How are you?” – be it a random person on the street or your Uber driver. If you ask cashiers in Germany about their well-being I can guarantee all you will get are strange looks.
What has been your biggest surprise with regard to living in Washington?
I have never been to a place that is more political than DC! This city lives and breathes politics, be it all the government agencies and organizations that are based here, the think tanks and the events they host, or everyday life in general. When you meet somebody here, chances are they work on the Hill, for the World Bank or an NGO. As a student of political science, the atmosphere in this place is a dream!
What do you miss about Germany?
Apart from my family, friends and my dog I’d have to say living in a small country! It’s a weird thing to miss, I know. One of the joys of living in Europe is having so many different cultures, languages and traditions in such proximity. A four-hour drive is not considered a quick excursion as it is in the US! One thing I definitely don’t miss, however, is not being able to do your shopping on a Sunday or after 8 pm. That’s one convenience I have come to appreciate a lot and that will be sorely missed when it’s time for me to return home.
What has been your biggest lesson learnt during your internship?
Be prepared for lots and lots of small talk! DC is the capital of networking. I have lost count of the amount of business cards people have given me during the two short months I have been here. Having a few easy topics of conversation on-hand makes life a lot easier!
What has been your biggest challenge living here?
Dealing with all the single-use plastic. It is nearly impossible to avoid when doing the weekly shop and often it is utterly superfluous! It should not be possible to buy individually plastic-wrapped potatoes or pre-peeled eggs and oranges in plastic containers, yet these things are readily available at my local grocery store. I am glad, however, that DC has introduced a 5-cent plastic bag fee; it’s definitely a step in the right direction.
Where do you plan to go or what do you plan to do after your internship?
Sadly, even the most fun internships must end someday… I will be returning home to Regensburg and will be greeted by an exam and term papers before finally finishing by Bachelor’s thesis. After that, who knows where life will take me!
Delicate & Whimsical Accessories with a Touch of the Sea's Beauty.
Strings of Pearlescent Pastels Paired with Silver, Gold or Sparkles.
Style: Elegant, Graceful & "Pearl Kissed"
Today you can find trendy jewelry to suit any style, bold, colorful, sparkly, even nerdy. But pieces that are beautifully understated in their elegance can be more of a challenge to come across. Perhaps because it's easy to overdo, but timelessness takes balance and the right materials like those favored by Ellen vanHully-Bronson of Pearl Kissed Jewelry. Most of Ellen's collections are centered around one of Mother Nature's most delicate and classic "gems" - the fresh water pearl. Her necklaces, bracelets and earrings are all handmade and one-of-a-kind, much like each naturally derived pearl. Her designs are meant to convey an air of elegance and romance, from her simpler strings of silver and the occasional pearl bead or crystal to the more intricate signature necklace with woven "branches" that sit gracefully along your neckline. Ellen's pieces make wonderful gifts for moms, daughters, sisters, wives and more. A Pearl Kissed necklace can enhance any outfit, from the more casual to an evening dress. They are that charming and versatile. While Ellen has a handful of self-designed collections, she is happy to discuss custom requests for a piece that's as special as its future wearer. That makes her work very well suited for bridal parties to match the romance you want on your special day! I love how creativity runs in Ellen's family, with this business originally started as a mother - daughter duo. Her daughter then continued to follow her passions to metalwork, but still offers input on design and marketing to help drive success. Ellen is a delight much like her jewelry, a pearl among artists!
Meditation is one of the most powerful and meaningful practices we undertake in spiritual life. It is a means for self-development and transformation.
The Buddhist tradition offers rich and subtle teachings for the practice of meditation leading to full realization of spiritual and human potential.
Both strands of practice are part of a Buddhist path. A practitioner generally begins with establishing a foundation of calmness and concentration, making the mind pliable and the heart receptive to a further stage of investigation and reflection on the nature of existence. In the course of a consistent meditation practice, many realizations and changes in the psyche will occur naturally along the way.
We begin by cultivating deep attention and kindness towards ourselves, then in turn, towards a good friend, someone we do not know well, someone with whom we have difficulty, and finally, all beings equally, without preference.
No matter what one hopes to gain from starting a meditation practice, benefits will come. Each time we meditate is a new experience, a new opportunity for greater depth of awareness and positive growth.
Here are a few major points that make SQLC a sound long-term investment.
A rapidly growing market: SQLC serves one of America’s fastest growing housing segments: retirement communities for upscale residents. Many seniors have substantial investment portfolios and little overall debt; they can transform this wealth into a new living environment. This growth trend should increase markedly as the baby boomers mature over the next 10 years.
A proven business model: The Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) model has been a proven success for more than 30 years. It has experienced substantial growth, irrespective of setbacks in certain niches of the senior-living sector. Due to the large scale of these projects, there are significant barriers to entry from market to market; consequently, the CCRC model has not generally been overbuilt, and existing projects tend to enjoy strong occupancy rates.
SQLC’s winning proposition for seniors: We offer an extraordinarily active retirement lifestyle, with unique Life Care services. Therefore, we can provide for our residents’ needs—from independent living to assisted living to skilled nursing—for the rest of their lives.
Our business structure—as a not-for-profit and as a lean, locally focused organization---give us powerful competitive advantages. The energy behind that strength comes from a select group of strategic partners who have helped build our track record of success.
It can be great belonging to a community organization - getting to know people with similar interests, doing things that make a difference, and celebrating your accomplishments. But sometimes it's hard to make those things happen; people can get stuck doing things the way they have always been done and become so focused on the "now" that there is no chance to get a vision for the future. That is where strategic planning comes in.
Strategic planning is a means of envisioning your organization's future and determining how to get there. It can stimulate ingenuity and new approaches, respond to opportunities and obstacles, and provide a framework for day-to-day decisions.
If this sounds like something that could benefit you or a community organization you are active in, register now.

She saw her boyfriend shot twice at close range and was only a few feet away from him when he died. Traumatized and fearing for her own life, the Stevens County woman came to rely on Renee, a crime victim advocate at Rural Resources, during the months-long investigation and legal process that followed.
I gave a talk on the Future of Relationships to the Wholistic Business Network last night. Lots of interesting questions and interaction. As we are going through a period of Chaos as the old Dominator systems break down... it can be comforting to know that this is just part and parcel of the evolution of consciousness...and will emerge into new more complex and egalitarian ways of relating.

A friend and i are trying to share music between each others computer, and we cannot figure out how to import the .song file into stagelight after he sends me the file. is this even possible as of right now? and if so, are there any tutorials/posts that explain how to do it?
Try this. I am assuming you are on Windows and not the Android version.
2) Create a new folder. Be sure the name of the folder matches EXACTLY with the .song file name.
3) Place the .song file in this folder.
4) You should now be able to open this song folder.
Thank you so much, i had no clue the file had to be exactly the same name as the folder for it to work.

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has charged newly inducted land surveyors by the Surveyors Council of Nigeria to exhibit a high sense of professionalism in the discharge of their duties.
Fashola, who gave the charge at the 2018 induction ceremony for 267 new surveyors by SURCON, which held recently in Abuja, welcomed and congratulated them for making it as members of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors.
Represented by the Minister of State II for Power, Works and Housing, Suleiman Hassan, Fashola urged the inductees to strictly abide by the standards of the profession they had chosen to pursue.
He said, “I urge you, as you collect your certificates today, to go and practice professionally, knowing that this government, more than ever before, believes so much in the contribution of professionals so that it can bring about the desired infrastructural development.
“The Federal Government has invested seriously in infrastructure. In the real sector alone, we have made the commitment of about N2.7tn. Commitments have been made in sectors like agriculture, mining and roads, among others.
Earlier in his address, the President of SURCON, Joseph Agbenla, noted that with the 267 newly inducted members, the number of registered surveyors in the country had increased to 3,627.
He urged the inductees to uphold the ethics of the profession and stressed that anyone found wanting in the course of practice would have his or her certificate, which remains a property of SURCON, withdrawn.
“I am highly confident that you will always remember that the seal and the certificate you are all having today belong to the Surveyors Council of Nigeria and may be recalled by the council if your professional conduct contradicts the rules, regulations and ethics of the surveying profession,” Agbenla said.
The Surveyor-General of the Federation, Ebisintei Awudu, advised the inductees to keep enhancing their capacity and ensure that their practice add more value to the profession.
He said surveyors should strive to improve their skills in order to adequately understand how to use the tools provided by the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation.
Awudu stated, “By the constitution of Nigeria, the OSGOF is principally mandated to do cadastral, geological and several other types of surveys. So try and improve your capacity on these aspects.
Despite the poor performance of the real estate industry and the lull in the property market in recent times, stakeholders have expressed optimism of a full recovery this year.
The Statistician-General of the Federation and Chief Executive Officer, National Bureau of Statistics, Dr. Yemi Kale, said although the real estate industry, which contributed 6.79 per cent to real Gross Domestic Product, dropped to 4.12 per cent in the third quarter of 2017, with interest rates currently steady within the lower double-digits and monetary policy keeping a keen eye on inflation trends and minimising inflationary pressure, stakeholders in real estate sector should expect a recovery.
Kale and others spoke at the Real Estate Outlook 2018 Conference convened by AlphaCrux Limited with the theme, ‘The aftermath of recession: Where do we go from here’.
The statistician-general, who was represented at the event by his Technical Adviser, Lola Talabi-Oni, said the Nigerian economy, despite being susceptible to internal shocks such as insecurity, and external shocks from fluctuating global oil prices, among others, would, according to the World Bank forecast, experience modest growth in 2018.
He stated, “The strong momentum of the global economy is expected to continue into 2018 with a forecasted global GDP growth of 3.9 per cent by the IMF. Here in Africa, the Sub-Saharan region is not left out of the global economic recovery as the IMF forecasts a growth of 3.3 per cent and 3.9 per cent within the region for 2018 and 2019, respectively.
Kale said the dip in real estate’s contribution to the GDP, from 6.79 per cent to 4.12 per cent in the third quarter of 2017, came as a surprise but noted that the industry performed better during that same quarter than it did in the same period the year before.
“The continued disinflation within the economy should therefore be good news to stakeholders within the real estate sector,” he added.
The Chief Executive Officer, Northcourt Real Estate, Tayo Odunsi, said real estate, as part of the larger economy, could not be said to be in growth, but was rather still recovering from the economic woes of the previous quarters.
Odunsi stated that industry players needed to conceptualise innovative concepts necessary to deepen it and fast-track growth.
He noted that the key considerations that could shape the property market this year were the declining vacancy rate across cities and the office market shifting towards co-working space due to its flexibility as well as investors preferring smaller retail malls.
“With millennials accounting for 70 per cent of Nigeria’s population, developers are forced to come up with innovative developments like students’ housing and other affordable schemes as young people now have preference for smaller apartments rather than investors building sprawling apartments with no occupants,” he said.
The Managing Director, Uraga Real Estate Limited, Dr Gbadamosi Yakubu, stated that government across levels should start thinking of collaborating with the industry players to bring about the desired change.
“Government’s plan towards affordability is key and it must start from land allocation to ease access to land,” he said.
A chartered surveyor and valuer and President, Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce, Akin Olawore, stated that there was a need for a change of attitude towards homeownership in the country in terms of funding.
“As Nigerians’ attitude continues to change towards house ownership, we have to seek innovative and ingenious ways of funding rather than rely on government’s spending, especially now that young people dominate the population,” he said.
The Director of Operations, Andela, Anthonio Pinhiero, who spoke on the role of technology in solving housing challenges in the country, stated that stakeholders could deploy technology to drive decision-making process in the property market.
