Sports stadia are quite particular animals, highly evolved spatial types usually deliberately separated from the outside world by layers of circulation contained within an external shell. H2o's Lakeside Stadium takes a similar approach to Renzo Piano's Stadio San Nicola in Bari, Italy, albeit at a much smaller scale. As with its larger Italian cousin, the white, pre-cast concrete forms of the Lakeside Stadium in Albert Park, in Melbourne's innersouth, emerge from the earth as a kind of permeable fortress. The porosity of the outer shell allows a direct connection to be made between the auditorium seating and the world outside. The spectator is not separated, but suspended between the spectacle inside the stadium and the events of everyday life outside.
The redevelopment of these historic grounds was part of a state government initiative to reinvent the complex as a major sporting centre within Victoria. The project had to meet the requirements of multiple stakeholders, including Major Projects Victoria, the Victorian Institute of Sport, Athletics Victoria and Parks Victoria, as well as those of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
A series of existing and new buildings define the stadium complex, including the existing 1926 grandstand and refurbished Bob Jane Stand, a new athletics administration building, a new north stand and pavilion and other major additions. According to H2o's Tim Hurburgh, the key design challenge was to create built forms that would successfully anchor and define an otherwise daunting expanse of open space, serving as both a backdrop to the action and shelter for spectators. H2o responded to this challenge with two distinct but causally connected strategies. The first involved the dispersal of functionally distinct elements – a new stand, gymnasium and offices – to create a permeable boundary around the playing field and running track. The second involved the unification of these disparate built forms through the use of a shared material palette and motif.
Experienced as a series of distinct interventions, partially determined by the limitations of existing heritage structures, the campus of buildings forms a space that is both open and closed. The original stand is bookended by two new structures, while fenced earth banks between the old and new stands, remnants of the previous stadium, hint at the existence of an event space and the terraced seating inside. A hexagonal motif recurs throughout the complex – in the timber-clad grandstand insert, across areas of concrete paving, and, most notably, in the precast concrete external cladding and glazing of the athletics administration building. This motif, which apparently reflects the patterned surfaces of nets and balls, was intended to unite buildings of differing scales, functions and eras. Apart from the symbolic value, the purpose of material repetition is worth broader consideration as the tessellated surface is on the verge of ubiquity in contemporary Melbourne architecture.
From LAB's Federation Square, ARM's Melbourne Recital Centre, Lyons' Swanston Academic Building and Sean Godsell's recently completed Design Hub, the playfulness of these serial investigations is apparent, but what of their mindfulness?
Sandra Kaji O'Grady has argued that serialism is not a stylistic category but a technique, first devised in musical composition, 'in which rules are given at the outset of making a work of art to regulate the permutation, combination, frequency, repetition and internal relations of multiple identifiable elements'. In the visual arts, the technique is commonly used in the organisation of independent formal or graphic elements, where the sequence and relationship between elements is both a determining factor and an outcome. The value of these investigations is the revelation of symbiotically connected, but potentially conflicting forces within the system. Without such purpose, serialism is reduced to repetitive pattern, an applied decoration that dominates to the point where architectural expression is overwhelmed by monotony. Ground eliminates figure and tension ceases to exist.
As the critical theorist Arthur Wortmann argues, the generic must always go hand in hand with the specific; the mass-produced has to be individualised – a procedure which Kenneth Frampton referred to as 'different repetitions'. In the context of H2o's Lakeside Stadium a unified individualisation has been achieved through the careful consideration of new interventions in relation to the parkland context and the existing architectural elements. The success of the first strategy potentially negates the need for the second. United by functional and spatial relationships, it is possible that a repetitive material language becomes surplus to requirement – at least as a generative organising system.
Overall, H2o's Lakeside Stadium is a fine example of what can be achieved when architects and stakeholders persevere with complex programmatic ambitions. When closed institutions are open to public access, walls become permeable, form and space intertwine and the Colosseum becomes the piazza. We are left to wonder though what might happen when, one day, the cultures of art and sport
are co-located once again.

Like always it depends on what you want to do.
diff(log(x)) calculates relative changes. This also takes care of exponential trends. For example, you would use this to detrend the stock price development of Google. According to the logarithms laws:
$$log(a) - log(b) = log(a/b)$$
all.equal(log(3) - log(5), log(3/5))
This means, instead of using the absolute difference for detrending you are using the relative change. As a bonus differences calculated using the natural logarithm can also be interpreted as a precentage change. For more information I recommend:
Cole, T. J., & Altman, D. G. (2017). Statistics Notes: Percentage differences, symmetry, and natural logarithms. BMJ, 358(August), j3683. _URL_
On the other hand
log(diff(x)) calculates the absolute differences before the logarithm is applied. If you calculate a trend using this method, the trend would be more outlier resistant (but this also applies to
diff(log(x))). This is helpful if there are a small number of big jumps in the time-series. Beware this method would potentially break your analyses when the difference is 0 or negative. (in R:
log(0) = -Inf or
log(-1) = NaN)
In my opinion
diff(log(x)) is the better default choice. While there probably is a use-case for
log(diff(x)), it's quite hard to think of one.

Human Security in Sub-Saharan Africa: Conflict Resolution and the Role of Civil Society
Africa cannot be described as a peaceful continent. Conflicts rage in many regions across the African continent. The apparent insolubility of several of these conflicts compromises hopes that Africans have of a Renaissance on their continent. The conflicts undermine economic development, and result in the further marginalization of Africa within the global political economy. These conflicts result in tragic loss of life, the devastation of communities, and the displacement of millions of people. In the process, human security is severely compromised. According to the Bonn Declaration of 1991 human insecurity refers to a threat to human life, lifestyle or culture. Caroline Thomas further unpacks human security as follows: 'At one level, it is about the fulfilment of basic material needs, and at another it is about the achievement of human dignity, which incorporates personal autonomy, control over one's life, and unhindered participation in the life of the community' (Thomas 1997: 3, in Parleviet 2001).

A silver-oxide battery (IEC code: S) is a primary cell with a very high energy/weight ratio. Available either in small sizes as button cells (where the amount of silver used is minimal and not a significant contributor to the product cost), or in large custom designed batteries where the superior performance of the silver-oxide chemistry outweighs cost considerations. These larger cells are mostly found in applications for the military, for example in Mark 37 torpedoes or on Alfa class submarines. In recent years they have become important as reserve batteries for manned and unmanned spacecraft. Spent batteries can be processed to recover their silver content.
Silver-oxide primary batteries account for over 20% of all primary battery sales in Japan (67,000 out of 232,000 in September 2012).[3]
A related rechargeable secondary battery usually called a silver–zinc battery uses a variation of silver–oxide chemistry. It shares most of the characteristics of the silver-oxide battery, and in addition, is able to deliver one of the highest specific energies of all presently known electrochemical power sources. Long used in specialized applications, it is now being developed for more mainstream markets, for example laptop batteries.

A silver-oxide battery uses silver oxide as the positive electrode (cathode), zinc as the negative electrode (anode) plus an alkaline electrolyte, usually sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH). The silver is reduced at the cathode from Ag(I) to Ag and the zinc is oxidized from Zn to Zn(II). The chemical reaction that takes place inside the battery is the following:
Balanced equation for the reaction occurring in a silver oxide battery.
The silver–zinc battery is manufactured in a fully discharged condition, and has the opposite electrode composition, the cathode being of metallic silver, while the anode is a mixture of zinc oxide and pure zinc powders. The electrolyte used is a potassium hydroxide / water solution.
During the charging process, silver is first oxidized to silver(I) oxide: 2Ag(s) + 2OH → Ag2O + H2O + 2e and then to silver(II) oxide: Ag2O + 2OH → 2AgO + H2O + 2e, while the zinc oxide is reduced to metallic zinc: 2Zn(OH)2 + 4e = 2Zn + 4OH. The process is continued until the cell potential reaches a level where the decomposition of the electrolyte is possible at about 1.55 Volts. This is taken as the end of a charge, as no further charge is stored, and any oxygen which might be generated poses a mechanical and fire hazard to the cell.
Compared to other batteries, a silver oxide battery has a higher open circuit potential than a mercury battery, and a flatter discharge curve than a standard alkaline battery.
It provides up to 40 percent more run time than lithium-ion batteries and also features a water-based chemistry that is free from the thermal runaway and flammability problems that have plagued the lithium-ion alternatives.[4]
This technology had the highest energy density prior to lithium technologies. Primarily developed for aircraft, they have long been used in space launchers and crewed spacecraft where their short cycle life is not a drawback. Non-rechargeable silver–zinc batteries powered the first Russians Sputnik satellites as well as US Saturn launch vehicles, the Apollo Lunar Module, lunar rover and life support backpack. The primary power sources for the command module were the hydrogen/oxygen fuel cells in the service module. They provided greater energy densities than any conventional battery, but peak power limitations required supplementation by silver–zinc batteries in the CM that also became its sole power supply during re-entry after separation of the service module. Only these batteries were recharged in flight. After the Apollo 13 near-disaster, an auxiliary silver–zinc battery was added to the service module as a backup to the fuel cells. The Apollo service modules used as crew ferries to the Skylab space station were powered by three silver–zinc batteries between undocking and SM jettison as the hydrogen and oxygen tanks could not store fuel cell reactants through the long stays at the station.
Mercury content
Several sizes of button and coin cells, some of which are silver oxide.
Silver oxide batteries become hazardous on the onset of leakage; this generally takes five years from the time they are put into use (which coincides with their normal shelf life). Until recently, all silver oxide batteries contained up to 0.2% mercury. The mercury was incorporated into the zinc anode to inhibit corrosion in the alkaline environment. Sony started producing the first silver oxide batteries without added mercury in 2004.[5]

Alberta glacial melt about 3 times higher than average during heat wave, glaciologist estimates
The heat wave that scorched most of Western Canada last week accelerated the melting of alpine glaciers, a glaciologist at the University of Alberta told the Calgary Eyeopener on Tuesday.
Water levels surged when heat hit alpine regions
Heat Dome takes bite out of Rocky Mountain Glaciers
3 months ago
Record heat spills glacial water into rivers, speeding receding ice 1:22
"It's very concerning," said Jeffrey Kavanaugh, an associate professor of earth and atmospheric sciences.
In the mountains, temperatures cool down about 1 C with every 100 metres of elevation gain — but when record-breaking temperatures swept through the Rockies, even the highest alpine regions couldn't escape it.
Kavanaugh found that from June 25 to July 4, the average temperature, including night temperatures, was 17.4 C at the Bow Summit in Banff National Park. In the past 12 years, the average temperature during the same period at that weather station was 8.5 C.
"A nine or 10 degree abnormality in temperature will cause a lot more melting," said Kavanaugh.
He estimated, based on data from the Agriculture and Forestry Department of Alberta and Environment Canada, that the resulting melt from glaciers during the same 10-day period was about three times higher than normal, compared with the past 12 years.
That "pulse" of meltwater travelled from the Bow Summit to Lake Louise and then to the Bow River in Calgary, where water levels were high and fast several days later.
In other parts of the Rockies, rapid glacial melting caused flooding.

"Please be advised that with the extreme hot weather, river levels are extremely high," officials for Mount Robson Provincial Park in B.C. warned on June 30. On July 1, three hiking trails needed to be closed because of damage from flooding waters.
Important water source disappearing
As accelerated melting causes glaciers to retreat faster, that's bad news for our water supply.
"We rely on glacier flow a lot more than we realize," said Kavanaugh, explaining that when snowmelt, rainfall and snowfall are low, glaciers pick up the slack.
"Our agriculture, our industry, our populations rely quite strongly on these waters to get us through the summer," he said. "And so as we see the glaciers retreating, we're also seeing those sources of water in the summertimes retreat."
It's a point of concern for Calgary, which relies on the Bow River for nearly 60 per cent of its water, according to the city. But it's not just Calgary that is at risk when glaciers disappear; the entire watershed is affected.
"These rivers continue on to Saskatchewan and Manitoba, up to Hudson Bay," said Kavanaugh. "And so all of the communities downstream, all the industry and agriculture downstream, also rely on this water, especially during summer."
Retreating glaciers will cause 'drastic change'
A 2015 study published in Nature Geoscience predicted that 70 per cent of glaciers in Western Canada will be completely gone by 2100 — and that the fastest rate of ice loss, corresponding to higher rates of meltwater to rivers, will happen from 2020 to 2040.
"This is going to be a drastic change," said Kavanaugh. "Right now, I hate to use the word 'enjoying,' but we are enjoying an additional amount of water in the summer because these glaciers are losing their reservoirs, they're retreating.
"It's high times right now for us, but they will not last."

Jeff Summitt Discusses The Ins and Outs of Gear Effect
Have you ever wondered why the faces on drivers, fairway woods and even some hybrids are not flat like an iron? Well if you haven't noticed, take a quick look. There is a certain amount of curvature to the face of a club which is considered a positive design feature. Why? Before we get to that point, let us understand the anatomy of the club first along with some quick definitions.
There are typically two radii on the face. The first one shown is called horizontal bulge which is the curvature in the horizontal plane extending from the heel to the toe.
The second radius is vertical roll, which the curvature is in the vertical plane from the sole of the club to the topline.
The units of measurement are expressed in inches its radius. A popular dimension amongst drivers and fairways are produced with a 10 inch bulge and 10 inch roll. To provide an explanation, imagine a circle 20 inches in diameter (10 inch radius). The arc of that circle would have the same curvature for the length of the face in the heel to toe or sole to crown plane. A higher number, such as a 12 inch radius, would have a flatter face because the circle is larger with and subsequently the curvature is not as sharp. This may be contrary to what you would think, but the smaller the number (the radius) the more curved the shape.
A Brief History of Face Curvature
It is important to understand that over the 500 or so year's golf has existed, there have been numerous experiments conducted to create the perfect golf club. Look through golf history books you can find plenty of clubs early on with concave or "hooked" faces. Yes, that's right! This is just the opposite of what you find today.
These were called "long nose" clubs as they were long and skinny by today's standard. Look closely at the diagram and notice the direction of the red arrows. In the center of the face the arrow points straight ahead. The heel area of the face now points more toward the target due to the face curvature, whereas the face out near the toe directs back to the center. At first glance this would sound like a plausible way of redirecting a shot hit off center back toward the intended target line, but a closer look shows it is not.
In 1888, Henry Lamb introduced a new type of club that was shorter from heel-to-toe and broader from face-to-back. More importantly the clubhead possessed a reversed face curvature that pointed outward in a convex manner. These clubs would become called "bulger" clubs and changed the shape of clubs used to this date. Even today, written in the Rules of Golf, Appendix II, 5a states that the face of the club…"must not have any degree of concavity."
Concept of Gear Effect
Contrary to common belief, the clubhead at impact will rotate around its center of gravity (CG), and not around the shaft's axis. There have been countless experiments with high speed photography over the years to show this is indeed true. At impact, if the ball is aligned directly in-line with the clubhead's CG, then no sideways twist will occur. However, golf is a game of misses. Hit the ball near the toe and you can feel the club twist open in your hands. Impact toward the heel, low or high on the face of the club and you get an entirely different feel.
Gear 4So what exactly happens at impact? We will talk about the bulge first. Take a quick moment to examine the diagram. As we stated before if the ball impacts the face directly in-line with the clubhead's CG, then no sideways twist will occur and the ball will go straight from where the face is pointing. If the impact is made toward the toe of the club the ball will start to go out to the right (for a right handed club) due to the bulge. In additional, surprisingly a draw spin will be imparted to the ball. This phenomenon is called the gear effect.
When two gears work in unison, one gear travels in one direction and the secondary gear moves in the opposite direction. Imagine the bottom gear being the head. As impact occurs at the toe, the gear turns clockwise. Therefore the ball leaves the face with a draw or also called hook spin.
If impact between the ball and clubface occurs toward the heel, then the reverse occurs. The clubface rotates around its center of gravity in a counter-clockwise motion. The ball leaves the face left of the target (again a right-handed head) due to the bulge, but the gear effect provides a slice spin to the ball.
Determining the Correct Amount of Face Curvature
After the "bulger" clubs became the norm, the amount of face curvature incorporated in the design was most likely selected by trial and error or simply how good the club looked at address. But in 1941, John Baymiller and Robert Vose of A.G. Spalding Bros. Inc. received a patent (2,395,837) on clubhead design to minimize the ball flight dispersion from hitting out near the heel or toe of the face of a golf club. Through their extensive testing, they found a correlation suggesting the proper amount of bulge on the face, depending upon how far back the center of gravity was within the head.
This is the very reason why irons and certain hybrids on the market do not have face curvature – simply because the center of gravity is not far enough behind the face to create gear effect.
Too much bulge and there is not enough correction. That is, if the ball is struck out near the toe the ball will start out too far right (right hand club) where the draw spin will no longer bring it back toward the target line. Conversely a heel shot will start out too much left and the ball will not have enough slice spin to bring it closer to the target.
Too little bulge is just the opposite where there is an over-correction. For example, if the shot is struck out on the toe, the ball won't start far enough to the right so when it draws back that is will go to the left of the target.
The right amount of bulge will minimize the dispersion from the target and come close to reproducing the results of an impact in-line with the club's center of gravity. Remember there is a certain amount of energy loss from an off-center impact so one will never totally get the same amount of distance as a center shot. The depth of the center of gravity controls the gear effect and the bulge provides the compensation. The further back the CG is away from the face, the greater amount of face curvature is required.
Vertical Roll
In much the same way bulge works in the heel-to-toe (horizontal) plane, roll works in the sole-to-crown (vertical) plane. The amount roll helps to correct the launch angle for shots hit high or low on the face relative with the center of gravity. Remember that the measured loft will vary on the face with any club with roll. Take a quick moment to examine the following diagram.
The first thing to understand is back spin will occur because of the loft of the club. This occurs regardless if the ball is hit in the center or high or low on the face. Now, let's take a moment to explain each scenario.
Unlike the bulge where there is no clubhead sideways rotation when the ball is struck line with the horizontal center of gravity, the clubhead will experiences a slight downward force when struck in the same plane as the vertical center of gravity. This causes the clubhead to rotate in a clockwise motion (as pictured). This phenomenon called the vertical gear effect imparts an opposite spin (back spin in this case) to the ball, which is added on top of the back spin provided by the dynamic loft at impact.
If the impact is made lower on the clubface relative to the center of gravity then the clubhead will de-loft or rotate clockwise even more now. Roll curvature comes into play here. That, more than head rotation, is the cause for the lower launch angle. More back spin than before is imparted due to the vertical gear effect. This additional spin creates lift to the ball to help maximize trajectory and distance.
If impact between the ball and clubface occurs higher on the clubface relative to the center of gravity then the reverse occurs. The clubface rotates around its center of gravity in a counter-clockwise motion (as shown). The ball leaves the face at a higher launch angle, which is important. The vertical gear effect produces a top spin to the ball. Well, it is not really top spin because the spin produced by the loft is much greater, but the top spin is added to the back spin to essentially create reduced back spin. Without the added loft from the roll, the distance would be reduced as less spin usually means less carry.
Seldom will one strike the ball directly in line with the center of gravity in either the vertical or horizontal planes. Therefore you will experience both a certain amount of backspin and side spin. The amount will be determined by the quadrant on the face and how far impact is made in relationship to the center of gravity.
In the diagram, the small yellow dot represents the location of the center of gravity. No side spin will occur upon impact in this location but there will be back spin due to the loft of the club. Impact anywhere in the red zone will produce draw spin and reduced back spin compared to that with the impact in the yellow. The blue


Roommate Agreement FAQ
The Roommate Agreement (Top)
Q: What is a roommate agreement?
A: A roommate agreement is a contract made between the residents of a rental unit. The agreement outlines the terms, conditions and responsibilities agreed to by each of the residents. Roommate agreements are sometimes referred to as roommate contracts. LawDepot provides a written roommate agreement.
Q: What is addressed in a roommate agreement?
A: Roommate agreements typically address the following:
 - date of agreement;
 - names of roommates;
 - address of property;
 - portion of rent and security deposit to be paid by each roommate;
 - portion of utilities to be paid by each roommate;
 - house rules;
 - household duties and restrictions;
 - particulars on how the tenancy can be terminated; and
 - any other terms that the roommates think are appropriate.
Q: Why do I need a written roommate agreement?
A: Roommates can make lots of informal agreements about splitting rent, sharing chores, and paying bills. However, oral agreements are too easily forgotten or misinterpreted. It is better to put your understandings in writing.
The greatest value of writing a Roommate Agreement is that it forces you and your roommates to take your co-tenancy responsibilities seriously. The more you can anticipate potential problems, the better prepared you'll be to handle disputes that arise. Before you move in, it is a good idea to sit down with your roommates and create an agreement that is tailored to meet your needs.
Q: How is a roommate agreement different from the lease my roommates and I have with our landlord?
A: A lease is a legal contract between a landlord and one or more tenants. The landlord can look to one or all of the tenants on the lease, for payment of rent. If there is more than one tenant on the lease then all of them are jointly and severally liable for rent and other charges stated in the lease. If one tenant moves out, the remaining
tenant(s) are still obligated to honor the lease for the duration of its term.
In contrast, a roommate agreement is a contract made between the residents of a rental unit. The agreement outlines the terms, conditions and responsibilities agreed to by each of the residents in relation to how they share space, and how they divide rent and other expenses. The roommate agreement is not binding on the landlord.
Rent Information (Top)
Q: How should rent be divided?
A: Roommates may decide to split the rent equally or unequally, depending on their personal wishes. Landlords often insist on receiving one rent check for the entire rent as they usually don't want to be bothered with multiple checks from co-tenants. It may be a good idea to designate one roommate as the person to whom other roommates pay rent each month and then he/she signs the full check for the landlord.
Security Deposit Information (Top)
Q: What is a security deposit?
A: A security deposit is a sum of money the tenant pays to the landlord to guarantee that the tenant will fulfill all obligations under the lease. The landlord holds the security deposit for the term of the lease to ensure that the tenant does not default on the terms of the lease or otherwise damage the property. Should the tenant damage the property (normal "wear and tear" excluded) or if the tenant has not paid rent, the landlord is entitled to recoup the debt from the security deposit. Usually the tenant must provide the landlord with the security deposit at the start of the lease. At the end of the term, the tenant will receive the deposit back minus any deductions for repairs/restoration.
Q: How should the costs of the security deposit be divided?
A: Generally, roommates split the security deposit when they pay it at the start, and get it back when they move out. But what if one roommate moves out before the lease is up? The landlord is not required to return the security deposit for the apartment until all tenants vacate. One common solution is to have the new roommate pay the departing roommate his or her share of the security deposit. If the departing roommate caused some damage to the apartment, then the new roommate should deduct the cost of that damage from the amount paid.
Utility Information (Top)
Q: How should utility costs be divided?
A: As with the rent payments, roommates need to agree between themselves how the utilities will be paid each month. Some important questions you and your roommates may want to consider include:
 - Whose name will each utility bill will be in?
 - Who is responsible for the payment to the utility company?
 - If some roommates have cell phones, will they still have access to a household phone?
 - If some roommates do not use a certain utility, will they still be responsible for paying for it?
House Rules, Duties and Restrictions (Top)
Q: How should roommates address smoking?
A: If smoking will not be allowed in the residence, consider acceptable smoking areas for residents or guests who do smoke (e.g. on the balcony, on the porch, in the backyard).
What if, when smoking outside, the smoke drifts inside and leaves a smell in the residence anyway? What if the smoking area becomes crowded and makes it difficult for people to enter or exit the residence? Consider potential difficulties in advance where possible.
Q: How should roommates address parties?
A: Roommates may wish to consider the following:
 - What is considered a "party" and what is an informal gathering? If a roommate brings a couple of friends over late at night and they drink for a couple of hours, is it considered a party? Should it be allowed?
 - When are parties allowed (e.g. anytime, weekends only) and what arrangements must be made in advance with other roommates?
 - Is there an established guest list for the party/gathering?
 - Who will clean up after the party and when should the cleanup be completed?
Q: How should roommates address noise?
A: Decide before you move in when the "quiet hours" will be - at what time will the TV and stereo have to be turned down (e.g. 10 p.m. weeknights; midnight on weekends)? Also, decide on a time for quiet hours to end in the morning (e.g. 8 a.m. weekdays; 10 a.m. weekends).
Q: How should roommates address overnight guests?
A: Roommates may wish to consider the following:
 - If allowed to stay over, where will guests sleep?
 - How much notice is needed before a guest stays overnight?
 - If you only have one living room couch, and two guests on the same night, how do you reserve it?
 - How many nights of sleepover is too long a stay?
Q: How should roommates address unwanted guests?
A: Roommates may wish to consider the following:
 - If a roommate has a friend or other individual visiting regularly, and this person is unpleasant, rude or abusive to the other roommates, should they have the right to request that the host roommate only see this person outside of the premises, thereby minimizing unwanted exposure of the other roommates to this individual? If so, should they do it by a vote or a face to face meeting with the host roommate?
 - What about a friend who consistently visits and, although not staying overnight, stays for dinner a lot and eats a lot of the residence food? Should specific limits be set on dinner guests?
Q: How should roommates address food?
A: Roommates may wish to consider the following:
 - Will you share food expenses or will each resident be responsible for him/herself?
 - How will you share responsibilities for cooking and shopping?
 - How will you know whose food is whose?
Q: How should roommates address security?
A: Roommates may wish to consider the following:
 - Should doors be locked at night or when no one is home?
 - Where will you keep an extra key?
 - Should anyone besides the roommates have a key or know about the extra key?
Q: How should roommates address personal property?
A: Roommates may wish to consider the following:
 - Can personal items such as stereos, TV's, kitchen equipment, bikes, and motor vehicles be shared?
 - Can roommates borrow each other's clothes, books, CD's, etc? Must they get permission each time?
Q: How should roommates address cleaning/maintenance?
A: Roommates may wish to consider the following:
 - How clean will you keep the apartment?
 - Who is responsible for which household chores?
 - When should those chores be done?
Q: Should you get your landlord's permision to have a pet?
A: Your lease may specify whether pets are permitted on the property. If the lease is silent on pets, it is best to first seek your landlord's permission before getting a pet. Where pets are allowed, you should agree in writing to compensate the landlord for any damage caused including cleaning, insect/flea and/or odor removal on leaving.
Q: How should roommates address computer usage?
A: Roommates may wish to consider the following:

Commissions research on social gaming sector
The International Social Gaming Association (ISGA), a body that emerged following a merger between The Social Gaming Association (SGA) and the International Social Games Coalition (ISGC) in September, has developed a set of best practice principles for the social games industry.
The set of best practice principles covers five areas which are intended to ensure that games and their providers:
– Practice law and regulatory compliance;
– Are transparent in their functionality;
– Conduct responsible purchase and payment policies;
– Provide appropriate player privacy management; and
– Use appropriate advertising models.
Luc Delany, chief executive officer of the ISGA, said: "The social games industry is thriving and fast growing – over 750 million people play social games worldwide, and social games companies are driving economic growth. The launch of our best practice principles reflects our industry's need to ensure games are developed and operated in a responsible way at a time when the way people play and pay for games is changing."
Additionally, the ISGA has commissioned research into the evolution, use and impact of social games. The research results aim to give a better understanding of social gaming from both business and the consumer's point of view.
Independent research firm Harvest Strategy, led by Dr. Rohan Miller, will target how social games are changing the ways consumers play and pay for games.
The findings are expected to be released early 2014.

History of the Dan Beard Council
The Dan Beard Council has a long history of providing life-changing programs to the young men of the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. There have been a lot changes since the foudnding of the Scounting movement way back in 1910, but the character values of the Scout Oath and Law remain the same. One-hundred plus years later, the Scouting movement is the largest organized movement in the world and the largest youth organization in the United States. The Dan Beard Council's story is one of mergers and changes, progress and growth, and outstanding individual that gave of themselves for the cause of instilling good values in youth. We invite you to learn more about the development of the Scouting movement in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area - a history that begins even before the Boy Scouts of America itself was founded.
Daniel Carter Beard
Daniel Carter Beard was born in 1850 in Cincinnati, Ohio. In his youth, his family moved to 322 E. 3rd Street in Covington, Kentucky where Beard loved exploring the banks of the nearby Ohio River and the Banklick Creek region south of Covington. It was during these explorations, that Beard developed his great love for nature and outdoors living. In 1882, Beard wrote The American Boy's Handy Book, a book which gives instructions and advice on animals, outdoors, knots, tents, fishing and more.
In 1905, Beard founded the "Sons of Daniel Boone," an outdoor education and exploration program for young men. Boys were organized into "forts," uniforms were based on the outfits of frontiersmen and in place of ranks or advancement, boys earned notches and top notches for achievements in a variety of interest areas. In 1910, Beard merged his organization (then known as the "Boy Pioneers of America") into the fledgling Boy Scouts of America and became one of the first National Commissioners, serving Scouting for 30 years. The Daniel Carter Beard Bridge spanning the Ohio River and connecting I-471 in northern Kentucky to I-71 in Ohio was named in his honor and dedicated in 1981.
Mergers and Past Councils
The Dan Beard Council as we know it today is actually a merger of four original Councils that underwent many changes in their time.
- The first to form was the Fort Hamilton Council, founded in 1913, just three years after the founding of the Boy Scouts of America. The Fort Hamilton Council was headquartered in Hamilton, Ohio and the territory of the Council was defined as "Butler County Ohio with the exception of Middletown and Lemon Townships."
- The Middletown Council was chartered in February 1917 in Middletown, Ohio. It began as a provisional (second-class) council, but became a first-class council in 1920.
- In 1918, the Covington Council was founded as a "first-class" or non-provisional Council serving the city of Covington, Kentucky exclusively.
- A fourth Council, the Cincinnati Area Council was formed to serve the city of Cincinnati though its inception date is not known.
- In January 1925, the Covington Council was re-organized as the Northern Kentucky Council, headquartered in Covington, Kentucky, and serving the counties of Boone, Campbell, and Kenton.
- Around the same time, 1926, the Fort Hamilton Council was renamed the Butler County Council. In February 1931, the counties of Bracken, Grant, and Pendleton were added to the Covington Council's territory. The following year, 1932, the counties of Mason, Owen, Robertson and Fleming were added to the Covington Council.
- Meanwhile, in August 1928, the following territory was added to the jurisdiction of the Middletown Council: Warren County, Ohio, and Lemon, Liberty, Madison, and Union Townships in Butler County.
- In 1932, Union Township in Butler County was transferred to the Butler County Council's jurisdiction from the Middletown Council. The territory of the Butler County Council was now Butler County, Ohio, with the exception of the city of Middletown and the Townships of Lemon, Liberty, and Madison.
- In 1933, the Middletown Council changed its name to the Mound Builders Area Council. A 1936 charter renewal application showed the Butler County Council's name had reverted back to the Fort Hamilton Council.
- In 1941, the Northern Kentucky Council moved its headquarters to Newport, Kentucky. In May 1944, Gallatin County was added to the territory jurisdiction. In September 1951, the counties of Bracken, Fleming, Mason, and Robertson were transferred to the jurisdiction of Scioto Area Council, #457, Portsmouth, Ohio.
- In 1952, the Northern Kentucky Council moved its headquarters back to Covington and changed to Dan Beard Council.
- In January 1955, Liberty Township in Butler County was added to the Fort Hamilton Council's territory from Mound Builders Council.
- In October 1956, the Dan Beard Council consolidated with the Cincinnati Area Council, Cincinnati, Ohio, to form the Dan Beard Council, #438, Cincinnati, Ohio. The territory of this consolidated council in 1956 was Boone, Campbell, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Owen, and Pendleton counties in Kentucky; and Brown, Clermont, and Hamilton counties in Ohio.
- Effective January 1, 1959, Fort Hamilton Council, #448, Hamilton, Ohio, merged into Dan Beard Council, #438, Cincinnati, Ohio.
- Effective July 1, 1985, Mound Builders Area Council, #454, Middletown, Ohio, merged into Dan Beard Council, #438, Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Dan Beard Council Today
Since the final merger of the Mound Builder's Area Council in 1985, the Dan Beard Council's territory has remained the same until this day. The territoy at present inlcudes Boone, Campbell, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Owen, and Pendleton counties in Kentucky; and Brown, Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, and Warren counties in Ohio.
In 2009, the council moved it's headquarters from 2331 Victory Parkway in East Walnut Hills to the new Scout Achievement Center in Evendale, Ohio, ushering in a new century of Scouting for the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. Serving over 33,000 youth led by over 10,000 volunteers, the Dan Beard council has certainly grown from the early days of the Scouting movement and become a tradition of fun, achievement, and character development for families to enjoy for many years to come.

Hybrid Poplars are the thoroughbreds of the tree world. Their claim to fame is speed. Growth of 5 to 8 feet per year is not uncommon, which makes this tree a good choice for quick shade on a vacant lot or for suburban firewood groves.
A very fast-growing tree, up to 5 to 8 feet per year. Has silvery-green leaves and broad shade-tree shape. Usually planted for very fast shade, or can be harvested for firewood in 5 to 7 years. This is a cottonless hybrid. Plant back from sidewalks. Grows to 40' to 50', 30' spread. (zones 3-9)
Hybrid Poplar bark, twigs, and leaves eaten by rodents, rabbits, deer, beaver, and porcupines. It provides forage for browsing wildlife such as whitetail and mule deer up through the sapling stage. It also provides important nesting and roosting habitat for various species of birds.
There are many crosses that go by the name Hybrid Poplar, but this one between Eastern Cottonwood from the United States and Black Poplar from Europe and North Africa has been a favorite for a very long time. Botanists and Hobbyists in colonial times are said to have exchanged the parent trees across the ocean, with both natural and artificial hybrids soon resulting. The oldest account of the tree was given by a scientist in 1785.
Wet soil preferred.
The leaves are triangular, 3-6 inches long and 4-5 inches wide, with "teeth" all around the margin. Often silver-green in color, but this is quite variable. Stalks are frequently reddish.

A guitar technique where the edge of the pick is dragged along the length of a string, creating a distinctive, abrasive sound.
Pick slides, also known as pick scrapes, are a popular technique in rock and metal genres, often used as a dramatic effect or to transition between different sections of a song. To execute a pick slide, the guitarist places the edge of the pick against a string, usually the lower E or A string, and applies pressure while sliding the pick along the string's length. The resulting sound is a gritty, grinding noise that can add energy and intensity to a performance.
Although pick slides are relatively simple to perform, they require a firm grip on the pick and careful control of the pressure applied to the string to produce the desired sound. Incorporating pick slides into one's playing can provide a dynamic and attention-grabbing element, contributing to the overall expressiveness and impact of a guitarist's performance.


View Full Version : Printing vocab list (with definitions) from LXT
01-29-2006, 07:16 AM
I was wondering how to create a vocab list with glosses from LXT. I tried using the word list manager for all the LXT words in Jonah, but couldn't figure out how to print out a list with glosses. I figured I could always use the report generator, but that's more information than I'd like.:D
01-29-2006, 11:49 AM
Hi Jake,
While you cannot create the lexicon from the LXT, you can from the BLM as it requires a morphologically tagged text.
Here are the steps:
1. Open the word list manager.
2. Select load or generate word list.
3. Select BLM and in the verse range type in Jonah.
4. This will generate the list back in the word list manager. Go to the menu/select/select all.
5. Go to file/make lexicon from selected words
6. Select the lexicons you want included.
7. You now have the file to save or print.

Tungsten oxide is not only a type of infrared thermal insulation nano material, but a photocatalytic material. Orthorhombic hydrate tungsten trioxide (o-WO3•0.33H2O) flower-like hierarchical structure may be synthesized via solvothermal method by regulating the amount of acetone. And the photocatalytic testing was carried out and the results showed that flower-like hierarchical structure tungsten trioxide hydrate displays superior photocatalytic performance than thorn sphere tungsten trioxide hydrate. And 88.5% of RhB may be eliminated after 240min.
The results also showed that: Compared with the morphology of orthorhombic hydrate tungsten trioxide thorn sphere (synthesized without adding acetone), (020) facet of orthorhombic tungsten trioxide hydrate can be reserved by acetone adsorption, and the flower-like hierarchical structure has been obtained.
In addition, the morphology of flower-like hierarchical structure has been influenced by the amount of acetone, due to the change of saturation vapor pressure in reaction system. And the visible-light absorption of sample has been improved by the increment of acetone.

The Turkic warlord Timur, also known as Tamerlane, established the Timurid dynasty (_PHONE_) after conquering a vast territory extending from present-day Turkey to the borders of China. Thirty-three paintings, manuscripts, and portable luxury objects from Iran and modern-day Afghanistan illustrate one of the most artistically brilliant periods in the history of the Islamic world. Works include a rare Koran folio, delicately painted manuscript illustrations, an exquisitely carved agate cup, a finely tooled wooden door, and 3 rare paintings (never before seen together) by the legendary late 15th-century artist Bihzad. These examples also show how Timurid patrons fostered the development of a distinct artistic language that affirmed their role as the rightful heirs of the Persian political, cultural, and artistic tradition.

Skilling Up to Do Data: Whose Role, Whose Responsibility, Whose Career?
What are the roles necessary to effective data management and what kinds of expertise are needed by the researchers and data specialists who are filling those roles? These questions were posed at a workshop of data creators and curators whose delegates challenged the DCC and RIN to identify the training needs and career opportunities for the broad cohort that finds itself working in data management – sometimes by design but more often by accident. This paper revisits previous investigations into the roles and responsibilities required by a "data workforce", presents a representative spectrum of informed opinion from the DCC Research Data Management Forum, and makes some recommendations for raising capability, capacity and status.

Parents from house of horrors sentenced: starved 6 children, teenage son weighed 37 lbs
(Colorado Springs, Colorado) Parents Bryan and Tonya Ricks of Colorado Springs, Colorado were reportedly sentenced to 25 years each for child abuse including" severe bodily harm and failure to provide medical attention."
The shocking house of horrors was discovered in 2009, when a family friend discovered the Ricks teenage son bedridden, in his own urine and feces, unable to walk or speak and extremely malnourished.
He wasn't the only child in the home. 5 other siblings, all girls, were also reportedly starved and abused.
According to KKTV the boy, whose name has been withheld to protect his identity, was removed from the home late 2009 but the other children weren't taken out of that horror house until early 2010.
Both of the Ricks reportedly expressed deep remorse in court during their sentencing on Monday and though the judge commended them for taking responsiblity by pleading guilty, he reportedly told them "it does not outweigh the severe, continuous abuse."
The boy, who is now 16 and lives with his foster parents, weighed a shocking 37 pounds when he was taken out of the home. To this day, he cannot walk and is learning to do so while he mostly crawls. The years of neglect and abuse have severely hindered his development, as well as his siblings. He and his 5 sisters had to be taught basic skills like using a toothbrush, tying their shoelaces, using a fork and a toilet.
Their motor skills were so impaired they couldn't hold a pencil or dress themselves. Their teeth were rotten, one child lost nine teeth. The girls hair were extremely dry, brittle and their skin were allegedly like alligator's--rough and dry.
The children have never seen a doctor or attended school. One of them had a condition which left a hole in her heart and others had asthma. The 16-year-old had severe seizures which has reportedly damaged his brain permanently because he did not get any medical attention.
They are all now in specialized foster care for they need continued therapy for a myriad of problems. they have already received occupational, physical and psychological therapy. They are learning to live normal lives.

My 6 (almost 7!!) year old is fascinated with sharks! Like completely enthralled with these sea creatures!! Thank goodness he has been raised on an island where a variety of sharks are in the plenty.
He thoroughly enjoyed making this paper plate shark visor. It was simple enough that he made it independently and it has to do with sharks…what could be better for him?!
You will need: paper plate, scissors, hole puncher, yarn, markers, glue, and construction paper.
1. Cut a paper plate in half.
2. Using the construction paper, cut small triangles for the teeth.
3. Decorate the top of the paper plate (shark's face) with markers (crayons, colored pencils, etc.).
4. Glue the small triangles (shark's teeth) on the bottom of the paper plate.
5. Punch 2 holes at the top of the plate (by the shark's eyes).
6. Tie the yarn in both holes large enough to fit around your child's head.

McCrum, Robert
political writer psychological british
(British, 1953– )
McCrum was born in Cambridge, where he was educated at the University, before becoming an editor and writer. In the Secret State (1980), his first novel, is a good introduction to the unsettling world of political corruption and psychological isolation featured in much of his writing. As traditional values decay, the book's disenchanted bureaucrats cynically manipulate the political system in order to preserve their hold on power. Vividly depicting events during the Prague Spring of 1968, The Fabulous Englishman (1984) deals with a once-successful English author whose journey to Prague involves him in painful confrontations with his past. McCrum's other novels include The Psychological Moment (1993), dealing with a presidential speech-writer in retreat at Cape Cod who is beset by treacheries and painful personal choices when he learns of a British political conspiracy.

PEPPERELL -- Members of Pepperell's Prescott Grange passed out a dictionary to every third-grader at Varnum Brook Elementary School last week as part of a nationwide program that aims to augment children's vocabulary and foster a love of reading and learning.
"It helps encourage them to read. They learn how to spell, there's an atlas in there, they learn the presidents. It really gets them to learn how to use the dictionary, because the computer doesn't always give them the right answer," said Linda Starr, Prescott Grange member.
Member David Gage said Prescott Grange has been distributing the dictionaries for about four years.
To pay for the books, they raise money by selling items such as coffee and baked goods at the Pepperell farmers market. This year, the books cost $240, Starr said.
When the dictionaries are distributed, the school challenges students to complete a scavenger hunt. Though it is optional, if they turn in their papers with all correct answers, they are entered in a drawing to win a T-shirt.
This is to encourage students to familiarize themselves with the dictionary in a way that is directed but still fun. "It's less intimidating if you have something to hunt for," said member Jean Danforth.
Varnum Brook Guidance Counselor Kevin Nelson said most students continue to use the dictionaries for years.
"If you ask the fourthand fifth-graders where their dictionaries are, they know exactly where they are," Nelson said.
"Most of them do it because they want that T-shirt, but also because they like being right," he said.
Gage said over the years he has seen a positive response from the students, who are consistently excited to receive their copies.
"The second-graders will see this and look forward to next year to get their dictionary," Gage said.

Industrial oils and additives
In 1939, Ole Bardahl discovered that the molecular structure of engine oil by means of an oil additive could be modified in such a way, that the oil is better able to attach to the moving parts of the engine. This meant that an engine could operate more efficient with less wear, friction and maintenance. The lubricating film was able to withstand higher temperatures and pressures.
This is the beginning of Bardahl additives. Bardahl industrial oils and additives still uses this unique Polar Attraction Formula. The products Bardahl developed are based on this principle which became a worldwide success in many industries.
For the industry Bardahl has a wide range of cost-saving industrial oils (transmission oil, gear oil, compressor oil, etc.), oil additives, lubricants and greases. To support all of these products, we also offer a range of cleaning products, adhesives, sealants.
Machinery lubricated with Bardahl's Polar Attraction Formula will use less energy, last longer and require less machinery maintenance. Extensive testing all over the world and intensive use in practice, prove the positive impact of Bardahl clearly. Through a balanced composition and combination of specialty chemicals and high quality base oils, we are able to find a solution for all lubrication problems.

Pie in the Sky?
Photo By Photo by Randall Hamasaki, courtesy of THE University of Hawaii
Blueberries are often associated with cooler growing climates, but early tests on the Big Island are proving that the crop may have a future here in Hawaii. In February 2007, Dr. Stuart T. Nakamoto, of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at UH Manoa, and his team installed two test fields, one on the wet side of Waimea, and one on the dry side. "There must be dozens of varieties of blueberries and we wanted to see which one did best."
Challenges included a plant disease and birds. "These animals have never seen blueberries, but somehow they know they are delicious," explains Nakamoto. "We have to cover the whole field with nets." On the plus side, once the plants are established, they fruit in a year. And with fuel costs rising, locals are increasingly interested in Island-grown produce.
By May, the team finished its first harvest. "It's one of the reasons we are so excited about blueberries in Hawaii—they come in during different times than the Mainland," says Nakamoto. Like coffee, the berries are picked by hand. The researchers are analyzing which varieties produced when, the yield and the quality of the fruit.
Could a pick-your-own-berries farm be in our future? "The ultimate test will be if the farmers take it up, because there are a lot of costs involved. Our goal is to start a new industry."

Production of Brown Ink Out of Gmelina arborea (Gamhar) Fruit
The world today is suffering for an economic crisis; many people seem to realize the importance of each item that needs to be bought. Ink is an ordinary item but prevalent in everyday use. Ball pens, pentel pens, markers and everything that provides ink for its functions are expensive that not all people can afford. That's why the researcher investigated a project that can help lessen the economic crisis for the production of ink.
Offices, workstations and even academic institutions have been using ink especially for their papers works and some other related activities. However, with the advent of highly commercialized items and supplies, people have difficulty in purchasing some basic things that are necessary to their works. Production of ink out of Gmelina arboera fruit will somehow stand as a remedy to this problem.
Gmelina arborea is a fast growing tree, which though grows on different localities and prefers moist fertile valleys with _PHONE_ mm rainfall. It does not thrive on ill drained soils and remains stunted on dry, sandy or poor soils; drought also reduces it to a shrubby form. The fruit of this tree is said to be acrid, sour, bitter, sweet, cooling, diuretic tonic, aphrodisiac, alternative astringent to the bowels, promote growth of hairs, useful in 'vata', thirst, anaemia, leprosy, ulcers and vaginal discharge.
This particular tree occurs naturally in Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and in southern provinces of China and Philippines, but planted extensively in Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Malaysia and on experimental basis in other countries as well. It is also planted in gardens and avenues.
Gmelina arborea timber is reasonably strong for its weight. It is used in constructions, furniture, carriages, sports, musical instruments and artificial limbs. Once seasoned, it is a very steady timber and moderately resistant to decay and ranges from very resistant to moderately resistant to termites.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
The main rationale of this study is to produce an ink out of Gmelina arborea fruit.
- What is Gmelina arborea?
- What are the economic advantages in producing such ink?
- How does it differ from other commercial inks?
- Is it economically feasible?
- Is it effective to use?
The researchers have anticipated the availability of the needed materials in this study, below are the hypothetical statements set by the researchers.
- The ink will be usable.
- This study will show proper utilization of natural resources.
- The product will take an economic advantage compared to the commercialized ones.
- The study will show how to use waste materials especially the Gmelina fruit itself.
- People can easily acquire to use the ink.
- Because of its affordability people can easily purchase the ink.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY:
Gmelina fruit can be found anywhere and some people perceive that this particular fruit has of no value. In general, the significance of this study will show how this natural resource can be used to create something that can be of big help to some other people especially office workers, business people and mostly to the students. This ink can be used for paper works, office works, and can also be used as a substitute or alternative to the commercial inks.
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS:
The main product of this study is "ink", since the juice of Gmelina fruit is brown; therefore the color of the ink is brown. No other trees were used, only Gmelina arborea.
This study is limited only for brown ink production.
DEFINITION OF TERMS:
Gmelina arborea - is a fast growing tree, which though grows on different localities and prefers moist fertile valleys with _PHONE_ mm rainfall. It does not thrive on ill drained soils and remains stunted on dry, sandy or poor soils; drought also reduces it to a shrubby form.

A bisection-type algorithm for the grammar-based compression of tree-structured data has been proposed recently. In this framework, an elementary ordered-tree grammar (EOTG) and an elementary unordered-tree grammar (EUTG) were defined, and an approximation algorithm was proposed.
In this paper, we propose an integer programming-based method that finds the minimum context-free grammar (CFG) for a given string under the condition that at most two symbols appear on the right-hand side of each production rule. Next, we extend this method to find the minimum EOTG and EUTG grammars for given ordered and unordered trees, respectively. Then, we conduct computational experiments for the ordered and unordered artificial trees. Finally, we apply our methods to pattern extraction of glycan tree structures.
We propose integer programming-based methods that find the minimum CFG, EOTG, and EUTG for given strings, ordered and unordered trees. Our proposed methods for trees are useful for extracting patterns of glycan tree structures.

Background: Malaria causes a reduction in haemoglobin that is compounded by primaquine, particularly in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. The aim of this study was to determine the relative contributions to red cell loss of malaria and primaquine in patients with uncomplicated Plasmodium vivax.
Methods: A systematic review identified P. vivax efficacy studies of chloroquine with or without primaquine published between January 2000 and March 2017. Individual patient data were pooled using standardised methodology, and the haematological response versus time was quantified using a multivariable linear mixed effects model with non-linear terms for time. Mean differences in haemoglobin between treatment groups at day of nadir and day 42 were estimated from this model.
Results: In total, 3421 patients from 29 studies were included: 1692 (49.5%) with normal G6PD status, 1701 (49.7%) with unknown status and 28 (0.8%) deficient or borderline individuals. Of 1975 patients treated with chloroquine alone, the mean haemoglobin fell from 12.22 g/dL [95% CI 11.93, 12.50] on day 0 to a nadir of 11.64 g/dL [11.36, 11.93] on day 2, before rising to 12.88 g/dL [12.60, 13.17] on day 42. In comparison to chloroquine alone, the mean haemoglobin in 1446 patients treated with chloroquine plus primaquine was - 0.13 g/dL [- 0.27, 0.01] lower at day of nadir (p = 0.072), but 0.49 g/dL [0.28, 0.69] higher by day 42 (p < 0.001). On day 42, patients with recurrent parasitaemia had a mean haemoglobin concentration - 0.72 g/dL [- 0.90, - 0.54] lower than patients without recurrence (p < 0.001). Seven days after starting primaquine, G6PD normal patients had a 0.3% (1/389) risk of clinically significant haemolysis (fall in haemoglobin > 25% to < 7 g/dL) and a 1% (4/389) risk of a fall in haemoglobin > 5 g/dL.
Conclusions: Primaquine has the potential to reduce malaria-related anaemia at day 42 and beyond by preventing recurrent parasitaemia. Its widespread implementation will require accurate diagnosis of G6PD deficiency to reduce the risk of drug-induced haemolysis in vulnerable individuals.
Trial Registration: This trial was registered with PROSPERO: CRD42016053312. The date of the first registration was 23 December 2016.


Renotec, AGT and law firm Schoups have teamed up to investigate the potential of heat recovery and storage in our sewer system. It has huge potential, as the network of existing sewers is very large. In Brussels alone, there are 2000 km of sewers (which is more than the distance from Brussels to Milan and back). If the heat from waste water in these sewers can be used as a low-temperature source, and the sewers are perhaps even used to store heat, this could contribute in a cost-efficient way to making Flanders a smart energy region.

Version 2.2.0 of Project Configurator will help make migrations of both configurations and projects easier and safer by addressing some key challenges we've heard from users.
While planning or working on a migration, many users want to know the right way to handle configuration items that exist both at the source and target instances. Actually, there is not a single "right way" to do that. Sometimes the default behavior of Project Configurator (apply the configuration it had at the source) is correct, but in some other situations you would prefer to rename one of the objects so that they become different unrelated items.
Either way, the first step is detecting these coincidences between the configuration in both instances, that might eventually become a conflict during the migration if they are not intended to represent the same thing. In order to detect them, the JIRA admin running the import would review carefully the trace of a simulated import. This posed two problems. First of all, in migrations of medium or high complexity it can become a time consuming and error-prone task. Second, it would detect only those coincidences that imply changes to the existing configuration of the target object. Most often, this is what a conscious JIRA admin would be after, but in some cases even a coincidence without changes might be relevant. For example, if both instances have a status called "On hold" but meaning two completely different things, you would not want after the migration to have issues that are in the same status, but for two very different reasons.
Version 2.2.0 of Project Configurator addresses these concerns with two new features that will help make migrations of both configurations and projects seamless. The first feature is called "Import conflict detection". If you supply an import file (either XML "config-only" or a zip with complete projects) it will produce a report with all configuration objects in JIRA that will be treated as equivalent to objects represented in the new configuration. So this removes the need to review a simulated import trace to detect the coincidences. All of them are shown in a single report. Even better, the report will also show where those configuration objects are used at the target instance. This facilitates analyzing the impact of the potential conflict and also renaming the coincident object (if this is the chosen option).
The other feature is called the "Used by" report. It shows the dependencies between configuration objects in a JIRA instance, in other words, where they are being used. For example, for what projects has a custom field values in issues? Is a custom field used in any workflow? And a screen? Is this field configuration used for more than one field configuration scheme? The "used by" report provides a compact answer to all these and similar questions. It is also easily navigable, as the user can click on an object that uses another and see where the first one is being used, thus moving up in the chain of dependencies.
We expect this report to be very useful when a JIRA admin wants to reorganize configuration items, for example renaming some of them or making sure that a project does not rely on configuration objects shared with other projects. Or simply when an object is going to be changed and we want to know the impact of that change!

'Waggling' Wings Could Save 20% in Fuel Consumption

Aircraft 'Waggle Effect' Can Reduce Fuel Consumption 20%
Everybody knows that flying is an energy intensive activity. Unfortunately, many long awaited innovations in fuel-efficient aviation are of the more far-fetched variety - I'm thinking airships, blended wings etc. Yet it's long been noted that the addition of 'winglets' to aircraft wings can reduce fuel consumption - in fact, Southwest Airline's use of winglets even earned them a nomination from one of our readers for our Unexpected Green competition. But that's not the only simple improvement that could cut fuel use - now a team from the University of Warwick in the UK claims that 'waggling' air accross aircraft wings could cut skin friction drag by 40%, offering a 20% savings in fuel consumption and emissions. Read on for more details.
Green Car Congress brings us more details on this cutting-edge aviation research from the UK that could lead to significant airplane fuel efficiency improvements in the medium to short term:
Aircraft wings which redirect air to waggle sideways over their surfaces could significantly reduce drag and thus cut fuel consumption and emissions by 20%, according to researchers at the University of Warwick (UK). The new approach, which promises to dramatically reduce mid-flight drag, exploits Helmholtz resonance—the same phenomenon that happens when blowing over a bottle—to produce micro-scale jet flows in response to turbulent noise.
The main contributor to aerodynamic drag, and thus fuel consumption and emissions, is fine-scale turbulence that exists very near to the aircraft's surface during cruise. The Turbulence Flow Control group at the University of Warwick has been studying non-powered (passive) flow control actuators as a means of reducing drag for some time, with the goal of developing flow-control technologies capable of major drag reductions on passenger jet aircraft.
Warwick is focusing on passive actuators because if an actuator is to be used on an aircraft, it must save more energy (in reduced drag) than it requires for its operation. Unfortunately, the researchers at Warwick note, many powered devices that have been developed for the drag-reduction application are unlikely to satisfy this fundamental net-saving requirement.
In a project funded jointly by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Airbus, Warwick and other universities are investigating the potential of using new types of passive devices for turbulent drag reduction. One of the ideas under investigation was the use of Helmholtz resonance.
Dr Duncan Lockerby, one of the researchers, said in a press release about the waggle wing research that they weren't entirely sure why the waggle effect was so pronounced, but "with the pressure of climate change we can't afford to wait around to find out. So we are pushing ahead with prototypes and have a separate three year project to look more carefully at the physics behind it. Here's hoping they can figure out a way to make it work in the real world!


Sarojini Naidu is a well known poet of India. She was known as "The Nightingale of India". Her poems are noted for their expression of various shades of romantic sensibilities and fervour. Naidu's poems ensemble the elements of whole of the Indian culture and civilization. Her poems are the mirror of the time which she lived in. "The Bangle Sellers" is no exception to the above ideas. It explores the life of Indian woman, the Indian cultures and traditions revolving around women. In its Indianness, this poem to similar to another poem of hers, "In the Bazaars of Hyderabad".
The poem begins with the speakers introducing themselves as the bangle sellers who sell their bangles at the temple fair. These bangle sellers are calling out people to buy their bangles for their daughters and wives. The Indianness of the setting and the poem is evident from the use of words like "temple fair" and "lustrous tokens of radiant lives". A temple fair is a typical Indian setting because of its rich cultures of temples and temple goers. Bangles, in Indian culture, are associated with happiness and prosperity and bought on special occasions. Bangles are also an important ornament for beautification of women in Indian society.
The poet, through the bangles of different colours, talks about the different stages in the life of women. The second stanza talks about the maiden life of women. Naidu puts this idea into her readers with her choice of words. Words like "maiden wrists", "buds that dream" and "new born leaves" all depict something that is young. As mentioned earlier, different coloured bangles are worn by women in different stages of life. Silver and Blue coloured bangles like the mountain mist, or green coloured like the new leaves. Blue, Silver or Green coloured bangles are generally worn by young maidens.
In the third stanza, poet talks about bridal stage in the life of a women. Again words like "bridal morn", "marriage fire", "bridal tear" and "bridal laughter" signify this idea of the poet. The bangle seller states that the bangles which are yellow in colour like "fields of sunlit corn" are perfect for a bride on her bridal morning. Bangles which are similar in colour to the marriage fire also represent the same. The words "bridal laughter and bridal tears" are very striking. It expresses both her joy of starting a new life with her husband and the sorrow of leaving her parents behind. These words also convey the transition in life from maiden to a wife.
In the last stanza of the poem, the poet talks about the middle-aged women who has journeyed through her life. The purple and gold flecked grey bangles suit these women. The poet then, states what she perceives qualities of a good wife are. The attributes of a good wife, according to the poet, are that she should have raised her children well, she should have remained faithful to her husband and family. Also note should be made of the word 'son', this could just be a coincident or as mentioned earlier, the representation of the time in which Sarojini Naidu lived where more preference was given to a male child. If we exclude the minor blip in the last, this poem is a celebration of female life.
The poem is filled with used of similes. The poet uses colours of bangles associates it to the different stages in the life of a women. While describing the colours suitable for maidens, the poet uses,
Silver and blue as the mountain mist", and
Some are flushed like the buds that dream"
In the third stanza, the poet compares the colours of bangle for a bride to the "fields of sunlit corn" and "flame of her marriage fire".
"Like her bridal laughter and bridal tear"
This simile is used to describe the joys and sorrows of getting married. Not only similes but metaphors are also used to make comparisons. In the first stanza, bangles the described as "Rainbow-tinted circles of light" and "shining loads". Young maidens are compared to the "buds that dream".
The words "buds that dream" is also an example of imagery as it presents before us an image of young girls dreaming of marriage. Other examples of imagery in the poem are "mountain mist", "new born leaves" and "flame of her marriage fire". They enhance the beauty of the scene.
The poet uses anaphora while describing the ideal wife. The last three lines of the poem begin with the word "and" to emphasize on the incidents marking woman a good wife. Alliteration is another literary device used by the poet. The /h/ sound in the lines
Or, rich with the hue of her heart's desire", and
Whose hands have cherished, whose love has blest
is an example of alliteration.
The Bangle Sellers is a lyric poem written in four stanzas of six line each. The rhyme scheme is 'AABBCC'. It follows no particular metrical style. There is no single speaker in the poem, though it may seem that there is only one speaker but it is not the case. The poet uses different speakers to give a 'class essence' to the bangle sellers. It has a definite structure. The first stanza acts as an introduction while the next three stanzas represent three different stages in the life of a women.

Starting blocks are a device used in the sport of track and field by sprint athletes to hold their feet at the start of a race so they don't slip as they push out at the sound of the gun. For most levels of competition, including all high level International competition, starting blocks are now mandatory equipment for the start of sprint races.
Prior to their invention, runners would dig holes in the dirt track. Trowels were provided at the start of races. This was not the most consistent or stable system. It also was destructive to the track surface with the holes having to be filled for subsequent runners.
Wood was the first material used, with some tracks having permanently placed wooden starting blocks with golden structures at the start line. Portable blocks were held by long metal spikes that needed to be pounded into the ground. These devices evolved to metal blocks. The common blocks of the 1960s were heavy and adjusted by screws that were frequently broken or became rusted over the years. Lighter weight blocks were made of sheet metal.
The rubberized surfaces of new All-weather running tracks that became common starting in the 1970s, made the old blocks even less secure. Original Tartan tracks left long holes to secure the blocks but most tracks required blocks to be held by small spikes similar to the ones used in shoes. Block slippage was common enough, it is an allowable loophole in the rules to recall the start of a race, without calling a "false start" against an athlete. In some amateur settings, such as high school track, since block slippage is much more common due to lower quality track surface material and/or starting blocks' spike quality, it is a commonly accepted practice to allow another person (usually a teammate) to sit on the ground behind the starting block and place their feet behind each block, using their leg power to further reduce the chance for the blocks to slip back upon the runner launching out of them.
Modern blocks used for world records now must have sensors that detect the pressure from the athlete and can be used to time their reaction to the starting gun. Athletes who react faster than 100/1000ths of a second (one tenth of a second) can be charged with a false start and the race recalled. Many also carry electronic speakers so the sound of the gun arrives at the ears of the athletes at exactly the same time.

What is big HATRED or LOVE??
If it was love that was big then how can a person leave another person, because then ego just drops, and then there are not two entities, there's only one!
And, if it was hatred that was big, then there should be no longing after the person has left!
If the longing still persists after the person has left, then does it mean that the person was just confused to decide or take decision?
But if a person claims that he/she is not confused, and still longs for that person, then it means the ego has not been dropped! And, since two entities did not become one, then there was no love AT ALL?
