LEDA was created by law enforcement officers for law enforcement officers who operate unmanned aircraft systems(UAS) in the public safety arena. The group was initially created by a core group of law enforcement officers in the Pacific Northwest area who wanted to convene and create a set of best practices and guidelines for the use of UAS in law enforcement. LEDA has grown exponentially over the last year to have over 1000 law enforcement agencies in the US [United States] and abroad on their member rolls. 2, record 2, English, - Law%20Enforcement%20Drone%20Association

Evolutionists and economists are raiding each other's theories. The result is a new and encouraging view of human nature. Economists and Darwinian biologists talk the same language, borrow each other's techniques and come to similar conclusions. By exploring a common ground(focus on the individual), a new discipline of evolutionary economics is being born. Some examples : J. Hirshleifer(UCLA) has used evolutionary arguments to explain when and why human beings resort to anarchy and warfare. E. Leigh(Smithsonian Tropical Institute-Panama) resorts to Adam Smith to explain how conflicts between genes inside cells are resolved. A. Rogers(University of Utah) suggests that long-term interest rates can be predicted from the biology of humans. Leda Cosmides, psychologist at UCSB, has used evolutionary logic to explain human reasoning in terms of social bargaining. 1, record 3, English, - evolutionary%20economics

Championed by a group of biologists led by John Tooby and Leda Cosmides, the emerging discipline of evolutionary psychology sees the human mind as a set of specific instincts that are trained by experience and learning, but are triggered by outside stimuli. This is very different from the old view that instinct and learning were mutually exclusive. These instincts are what constitutes human nature : for instance, the instinct to like sweet food... whatever form it comes in; the instinct to learn language with a specifically human grammar, whatever its vocabulary; the instinct to trade favors with other trusted individuals, a sense of social credit and debt; an instinct to form interpretations of what is going on in other human minds.... 1, record 4, English, - evolutionary%20psychology

Economics and evolutionary psychology both focus on the similarities among individuals of all races: the fact that humans of all colors and creeds are motivated by the same preferences, desires and goals - to accumulate the means to consume, find a mate, have children, be famous or popular, and so on. This view holds that the differences between people are the result of different environmental triggers acting on the same genetic nature. 1, record 4, English, - evolutionary%20psychology

[...] la vallée inférieure de l'Outaouais et la haute et moyenne vallée du Saint-Laurent sont recouvertes d'argiles et de silts marins déposés dans la Mer de Champlain. Ces dépôts, dont l'épaisseur atteint 100 m dans la vallée de l'Outaouais et au moins 30 m dans la vallée du Saint-Laurent, posent de nombreux problèmes géotechniques. [...] Les propriétés de ces argiles, que les ingénieurs appellent «argiles à Leda» ont été passées en revue par Crawford (1968) et réexaminées par Locat et Chagnon (1989). 1, record 5, French, - argile%20%C3%A0%20Leda
