Varietyshowcase-Summary.Pdf The VARIETY SHOWCASE is an interactive mixer designed to build community among plant breeders, seed growers, farmers, chefs, produce buyers, food journalists, consumers and more. Attendees have the unique experience to TASTE new and in-development vegetables, fruits & grains, ENGAGE in conversation, SHARE opinions, and TAKE PART in breaking down the walls between eaters and breeders. The excitement about the plant breeders’ work was at a level I have never before experienced. The Variety Showcase is really expanding and enlightening the greater public about plant breeding.

MOTIVATION When asked why they attend: 61% Networking 71% Education 53% Find new varieties to grow/buy 16% Provide breeders with input Other responses included good food and fun. CONNECTION 79% met someone who plays a role in the food system they did not know before. OUTREACH 97% plan to share new knowledge with others. Responders estimated they would share knowledge with over 2,400 in person and over 50,000 through social media. IMPACT 85% responded that new knowledge/experience gained would impact their work.

To address this, buyers and growers are asked to complete matchmaking surveys on what they saw during the event that they would like to buy or grow. Contact information for matched buyers/sellers are shared along with information on where to purchase seed for each featured variety. Sixty surveys were completed identifying 23 different varieties of interest. Results of these connections will be tracked and included in reporting impact next year. .

  • Military Callsign List As of April 2009
    MILITARY CALLSIGN LIST AS OF APRIL 2009 Compiled by Ron (mdmonitor@verizon.net) This list is the work of many people. I started in 1998 with a basic list that I pulled off of the web. That list had been compiled by Hugh Stegman, a highly respected radio hobbyist and columnist for Monitoring Times. In the intervening years I have added callsigns that I myself have heard and verified as well as those from various “seasoned”, respected milcomer’s and HF utility communications hobbyists here in the US as well as Europe. Background: One has to take most military calls with a grain of salt. They are often used by more than one unit. Also, the US military is closing bases left and right, moving and combining things, transferring tasks to the reserves, and the like. For basically historical reasons I have left in many of the daily changing tactical callsigns used by the Offutt & Tinker units. We may not see them again, but then again they could be reused. A callword is a station identifier without numbers, such as Mudbug Control. A callsign is one with numbers, such as Abnormal 10. Static callsigns/callwords of air tankers tend to associate with gasoline, gas stations, or fuel in general, though the association gets pretty vague. Fighters are more macho. A few callsigns/callwords are acronyms, such as ARIA (Advanced Range Instrumentation Aircraft), JOINT STARS/JSTARS (Joint Surveillance Tactical Radar System), SPAR (Special Priority Air Resource); and SAM (Special Air Mission). Many CPs, Air National Guard or CAP units, and the like, derive callwords from geographical characteristics of their locations, i.e AK-SAR-BEN (Nebraska backwards, and a popular horse track), MUDBUG (near the Mississippi "big muddy" delta, where mudbug crabs are found), and HIGH ROLLER (Nevada ANG, Reno).
