Gates Notice of Adopted Amendment (2007-02-01)
No full text11 pp. Adopted 2007-02-01. Department of Land Conservation and Development Notice of Adopted AmendmentThis amendment revised Section 15.020(L) of the Gates Zoning Ordinance, which previously allowed domestic farm animals on lots two (2) acres in size or greater as a permitted use in the Residential (R) Zone District. The adopted amendment prohibits keeping of domestic farm animals in the R Zone after December 14. 2006; with the exception of allowing no more than ten (10) chickens, other fowl or rabbits on property at least 1/4 acre in size for noncommercial purposes
2013 Annual Letter from Bill Gates
No full textIn previous annual letters, Gates focused on the power of innovation to reduce hunger, poverty, and disease. But any innovation -- whether it's a new vaccine or an improved seed -- can't have an impact unless it reaches the people who will benefit from it. That's why in this year's letter, Gates discusses how innovations in measurement are critical to finding new, effective ways to deliver these tools and services to the clinics, family farms, and classrooms that need them.The Foundation is supporting these efforts, but more needs to be done. Given how tight budgets are around the world, governments are rightfully demanding effectiveness in the programs they pay for. To address these demands, we need better measurement tools to determine which approaches work and which do not. In this letter, Gates highlights strong examples from the past year of how measurement is making a difference. In Colorado, Melinda and Bill learned how a school district is pioneering a new system to measure and promote teacher effectiveness. In Ethiopia, Gates witnessed how a poor country, pursuing goals set by the United Nations, delivered better health services to its people. In Nigeria, the digital revolution has allowed the foundation to improve the use of measurement in the campaign to eradicate polio. Thanks to cell phones, satellites, and cheap sensors, data can be gathered and organized with increasing speed and accuracy

Gates to the Future: The Gates Family History
No full textThe history begins with Josiah Gates. A hotel proprietor, judge, and farmer Josiah Gates became the first citizen of what is now Bradenton when he selected 160 acres to homestead land under the Armed Occupational Act. It covers several other Gates family members before ending with Emma Gates
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Flow under Sluice Gates
No full textThe flow characteristics upstream and downstream of sluice gates are studied experimentally and numerically using Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes two-dimensional simulations with a volume of fluid method. Special attention was brought to large opening and submergence, a frequent situation in distribution canals that is little seldom addressed in the literature. Experimental results obtained by ADV measurements provide mean velocity distributions and turbulence characteristics. The flow is shown to be mostly two-dimensional. Velocity fields were simulated using renormalization group k-epsilon and Reynolds stress model turbulence models, leading to an estimation of energy and momentum correction coefficients, head loss, and bed friction. The contraction coefficient is also shown to increase with gate opening at large submergence, which is consistent with the energy-momentum balance. This result can be used to derive accurate discharge equation

Calculation of Contraction Coefficient under Sluice Gates and Application to Discharge Measurement
No full textThe contraction coefficient under sluice gates on flat beds is studied for both free flow and submerged conditions based on the principle of momentum conservation, relying on an analytical determination of the pressure force exerted on the upstream face of the gate together with the energy equation. The contraction coefficient varies with the relative gate opening and the relative submergence, especially at large gate openings. The contraction coefficient may be similar in submerged flow and free flow at small openings but not at large openings, as shown by some experimental results. An application to discharge measurement is also presented
