It is situated about 107 kilometres (66 mi) south of Alice Springs and 320 kilometres (199 mi) east of Yulara. The ephemeral Finke and the Hugh River both flow through the property but it is still dependent on bores and dams for watering stock. The Indigenous Australian community of Titjikala is situated within the boundaries of the station. The property shares a boundary with Horsehoe Bend Station to the south, Allambi to the east, Deep Well and Orange Creek to the north and with Henbury and Idracowra Stations to the west.

The ephemeral Finke and Hugh Rivers both flow through the property. The unusual rock formation, Chambers Pillar is also situated within the station boundaries.

The property has an average stocking rate of approximately 6,500 head of cattle. It is equipped with a three bedroom homestead, a four bedroom staff house, workers quarters, workshop, sheds, cattle yards and is divided into 14 paddocks.

Environment variable

Environment variables are a set of dynamic named values that can affect the way running processes will behave on a computer.

They are part of the environment in which a process runs. For example, a running process can query the value of the TEMP environment variable to discover a suitable location to store temporary files, or the HOME or USERPROFILE variable to find the directory structure owned by the user running the process.

They were introduced in their modern form in 1979 with Version 7 Unix, so are included in all Unix operating system flavors and variants from that point onward including Linux and OS X. From PC DOS 2.0 in 1982, all succeeding Microsoft operating systems including Microsoft Windows, and OS/2 also have included them as a feature, although with somewhat different syntax, usage and standard variable names.

Details

In all Unix and Unix-like systems, each process has its own separate set of environment variables. By default, when a process is created, it inherits a duplicate environment of its parent process, except for explicit changes made by the parent when it creates the child. At the API level, these changes must be done between running fork and exec. Alternatively, from command shells such as bash, a user can change environment variables for a particular command invocation by indirectly invoking it via env or using the ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE=VALUE <command> notation. All Unix operating system flavors, DOS, and Windows have environment variables; however, they do not all use the same variable names. A running program can access the values of environment variables for configuration purposes.

Station (New Zealand agriculture)

A station, in the context of New Zealand agriculture, is a large farm dedicated to the grazing of sheep and cattle. The use of the word for the farm or farm buildings date back to the mid-nineteenth century. The owner of a station is called a runholder.

Some of the stations in the South Island have been subject to the voluntary tenure review process. As part of this process the government has been buying out all or part of the leases. Poplars Station in the Lewis Pass area was purchased in part by the government in 2003. The Nature Heritage Fund was used to purchase 4000 ha for $1.89 million. Birchwood Station was bought in 2005 to form part of the Ahuriri Conservation ParkSt James Station was purchased by the Government in 2008.

Maryvale (Phoenix)

Maryvale (sometimes called West Phoenix) is a neighborhood of Phoenix, Arizona, United States. It is the predominant neighborhood of the near west side, from about 35th Avenue west to 87th Avenue and from I-10 north to the boundary with the suburb of Glendale at Camelback Road. It is the most populous of the 15 Urban Villages of Phoenix, being larger than the nearby suburbs of Goodyear and Avondale combined.

History

Originally established during the 1950s and 1960s by developer John F. Long, Maryvale's neighborhoods include inexpensive homes largely built during that time period.

Like many older inner-ring suburbs in the United States, Maryvale is suffering urban decline as the belt of growth has passed by, moving ever outward. Shopping in this area is provided by the Desert Sky Mall and Maryvale Mall, both of which are suffering from lack of tenants. The Maryvale Mall now houses schools and a police station. Ashley Furniture HomeStore Pavilion, the city's most prominent outdoor concert venue, is located on the West Side. Because of the lower housing costs, Maryvale has attracted large numbers of families and immigrants from all over the world, particularly from Mexico and other Latin American countries.
