The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which perennial plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual extreme minimum winter temperature, displayed as 10-degree F zones and 5-degree F half zones. A broadband internet connection is recommended for the interactive GIS-based map above.
This website displays a detailed, interactive, color-coded map showing each evacuation zone. Residents can use the map to view their region or zoom in to their residential neighborhood and street. Users can enter their physical address in the search bar to view and confirm their designated evacuation zone.

Each year in the spring, National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) is held to bring national attention to motorist and worker safety and mobility issues in work zones. Since 1999, FHWA has worked with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) to coordinate and sponsor the event. The first national event was held at a work zone in Springfield, VA, in April 2000. Over the years, other transportation partners have joined the effort to support NWZAW. In addition to a national event conducted each year, many States host their own NWZAW events.
Q: What are the New York State tax implications of the recently enacted federal tax benefits for investment in the Opportunity Zone Program?
A: Investor must invest in a qualified opportunity fund which holds at least 90% of its assets in qualified opportunity zone property. A qualified opportunity fund is an investment vehicle organized as a corporation or a partnership for the purpose of investing in qualified opportunity zone property. There are two main incentives to encourage investment in qualified opportunity funds. First, taxpayers can temporarily defer the inclusion in gross income of capital gains that are reinvested in a qualified opportunity fund. Taxpayers can also permanently exclude capital gains from the sale or exchange of an investment in a qualified opportunity fund held for more than 10 years. Generally, both the deferral and exclusion of the capital gains from federal income will flow through to New York State. This means those gains will also be deferred and excluded from New York taxable income

The federal tax bill passed at the end of December 2017 enables the governor to designate certain census tracts as Opportunity Zones. Investments made by individuals through special funds in these zones would be allowed to defer or eliminate federal taxes on capital gains. The governor was given the opportunity to designate up to 25 percent of census tracts that either have poverty rates of at least 20 percent or median family incomes of no more than 80 percent of statewide or metropolitan area family income. There are nearly 1,200 eligible census tracts and the governor designated 300 tracts based on economic data, recommendations from local partners, and the likelihood of private-sector investment in those tracts.
Based on nominations of eligible census tracts by the Chief Executive Officers of each State, Treasury has completed its designation of Qualified Opportunity Zones. Each State nominated the maximum number of eligible tracts, per statute, and these designations are final. The statute and legislative history of the Opportunity Zone designations, under IRC 1400Z, do not contemplate an opportunity for additional or revised designations after the maximum number of zones allowable have been designated in a State or Territory.
All dates and times throughout your Canvas courses are displayed according a course's respective time zone. However, you can set your own time zone for your user account and have your local time zone display throughout Canvas. Displaying dates in your local time may help you stay up to date on assignments and due dates, especially if your course time zone differs significantly from where you reside.
Note: If you set a time zone in your user settings, you can always view the course time zone by hovering over any date and time in your course. The text will show both the local time and course time.
Before I get into the details, I just quickly want to touch on the fact that it's impossible to discuss zone focusing without also talking about reciprocity, or through how reciprocity is commonly explained "the exposure triangle". The exposure triangle is the diagrammatical way the reciprocal relationship of the three main settings of a camera: aperture, shutter and film speed work. This tutorial does assume prior knowledge of what these settings do, and why one might change them. That said, when I taught myself how to zone focus, it became the trigger for the all of the pieces of the exposure triangle puzzle falling into place. As such, even if you don't know what the exposure triangle is, I would still encourage you to read on!
As we know, aperture controls depth of field. In very simple terms, zone focusing is the name given to the technique of harnessing depth of field to manually preset focus in anticipation of a "zone" of focus within which your potential subject is likely to be. The scales highlighted above show three things.
To set your "zone of focus", simply line the aperture you have set the lens to with the distance markings to determine what will be in focus. In this next photo the lens is set to f/3.5 and the the lens focused to 1.5m. Looking at the scales you can see that I will have between 1.2m and 2m in focus. As such, I have a depth of field of around 80cm:
To expand on this further you can also employ a technique called hyperfocal focusing. In simple terms, this is setting the lens to a "hyperfocal" focus distance that will give a zone of focus all the way to infinity. With this lens, as you can now see in the below photo I can achieve everything from under 0.8m to infinity by setting the lens to f/16 and focusing to 1.5m.
Looking at the picture below you'll notice that if you line up all those markings you'll find the lens is set to 3m and f/8. This combination of settings is pretty much the base line for zone-focusing. Everything from 1.5m to infinity, good middle ground aperture for the balance between sharpness and light gathering. This is the "f/8 and be there" setting. Set your camera to this with a 400 ISO film, and in many daytime circumstances, you can snap away without any thought to setting focus.
No post about zone focusing would be complete without mentioning the dreaded "circle of confusion". Let me tell you a joke I read on a forum the other day. I wish I could find it now because it did reference the person credited for the joke.
I don't think I've met anybody who can eloquently describe what circle of confusion means in less than 2000 words. Not least its importance in determining what's going to be in or out of focus when zone focusing. And that's including myself.
The mistake that's often made is to talk about what it is, not what it means to your zone of focus. (Depth of field). If you're really interested in trying to understand it from that perspective, this is my layman's attempt at an explanation:
In short, and in practical terms, this means that when you are zone focusing, you are not shooting with a zone of perfect focus, you are shooting with a zone of what's commonly defined as acceptable focus. Those markings on the lens simply show the limits of what the science says on average is right.
Ultimately, using methods like zone focusing, practise and experimentation are always going to be needed to determine what exact method will result in an outcome you are happy with. That being said, once you've mastered the basics - which really are very basic once you have grasped them - zone focusing can make for a very enjoyable and successful way to shoot!
The Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx) Specification enables infrastructure owners and operators (IOOs) to make harmonized work zone data available for third party use. The objective is to make travel on public roads safer and more efficient through ubiquitous access to data on work zone activity. Specifically, the project aims to get data on work zones into vehicles to help automated driving systems (ADS) and human drivers navigate more safely.
The U.S Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) awarded $2,372,254 on January 15, 2021 for Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx) Demonstration Grants to fund 13 projects in 13 States. The Notice of Funding opportunity (NOFO) for this WZDx Demonstration closed on August 3, 2020. The purpose of this research program is to increase the safety of the traveling public through the production of consistent public work zone data feeds across jurisdictions. This was a one-time funding opportunity for public roadway operators to make unified work zone data feeds available for use by third parties and collaborate on the WZDx Specification development.
Inspired by the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS), U.S. DOT launched the WZDx to jumpstart the voluntary adoption of a basic work zone data specification through collaboration with data producers and data users. While the short-term goal of WZDx was to enable harmonized data exchange, one of the long-term goals of WZDx was to enable collaborative maintenance and expansion of the specification to meet the emerging needs of ADS.
Version 4.0 of the WZDx Specification broke backwards compatibility in order to reorganize the WZDx specification to introduce the capability of exchanging smart work zone device data and non-work zone road restrictions. The v4.0 development cycle welcomed the Specification Extension Subgroup, which advanced work on using the WZDx model for data exchanges on Restrictions and Incidents. Restrictions and Incidents feeds are now located at a new GitHub site, which will allow development work on these and any future feed specifications to continue independent of the Work Zone Feed and Device Feed specifications. 0852c4b9a8
