The Department of Engineering and Information Science of the University of Trento is recruiting a temporary junior researcher in media and telecommunications law (at the post-doctoral, PhD or master level) for a period of 12 months to produce legal information and policy recommendations for community networks, as part of the netCommons project.
The interdisciplinary project netCommons (http://netcommons.eu/) focuses on the study of Internet community networks (CNs) in Europe managed as commons. Part of the project focuses on the legal framework of these communities, which mostly operate as informal, associative, cooperative or non-for-profit entities, and which bring together people with different skills to build and manage telecom networks, considered as commons.
Tasks will include analysing and answering legal questions faced by CNs, and the drafting of user-friendly legal information, recommendations and code of conducts for the internal management of CNs. Domains include liability, privacy and personal data protection, telecommunications and spectrum law, governance tools implemented within these groups (statutes, regulations, by-laws, decision making processes, etc.), and the consequences of the underlying technological and economic models.
Through regular interviews, this research-action will ultimately lead to the formulation of propositions for improvement of legal practices to ensure the proper functioning, sustainability and expansion of these communities, the monitoring of the implementation of these recommendations within voluntary groups, and the drafting of policy recommendations to preserve CNs as a commons.
A close collaboration with CNs located in France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain and the UK will be expected, as well as a regular collaboration with researchers of the CNRS Paris-Sorbonne Institute of Communication Sciences, coordinating the socio-legal and policy research of the project, and discussions with the other partners of the project specialized in computer science, economy and sociology.
The candidate must hold a master or a doctorate in IT, media or telecommunications law obtained in one of the EU countries.
A prior experience in a non-profit entity or a law firm advising ICT communities will be appreciated.
A very good command of English (written especially) is also necessary.
A working knowledge of French, Italian or Greek would be a plus.
Travels within Europe are expected.
a selection of works (3 max.), either academic papers or briefs explaining a legal question to a client, assessing a legal risk, or preparing a legal defense.
The formal recruitment will follow the customary Italian procedure. Non Italian candidates will be guided through the process.


We might understand how social justice with all of its attendant ideologies could work its way into the evangelical world. But the crowd stands befuddled at the sight of social justice's presence in the reformed evangelical world. At its core social justice is a worldview of victimized egalitarianism resulting in state redistribution of wealth, privilege, rights, and opportunities. And how exactly does such a worldview harmonize with Calvinism? About like the granny trio on the day, they left their hearing aids at home.
Man is not only depraved, he is totally depraved. Far from being able to identify victim statuses through intersectionality, man has to come to grips with his wickedness. He is manifestly not a victim. Rather he is the recipient of unspeakable undeserved benefits. Think life, oxygen, food and the like.
Where social justice's hyper-egalitarian mindset demands everyone have the same opportunity and privileges, reformed doctrine says God choses some (and not others) to have eternal life. The others spend eternity suffering His wrath. Why did God not give them the same outcome or even opportunity as the others?
Jesus shed His blood for some, not all, the good old confessions teach. Why would our Lord be so targeted and discriminating in His suffering? Jesus laid down His life particularly for His sheep in a redemptive way that He did not do for those who are not His sheep (John 10).
The doctrines of grace teach that God not only gives grace but He supplies irresistible grace to certain persons who make up a particular group of people. All mankind are in rebellion against the Creator. Even so, God in His great love overcomes the rebellion of some while leaving the others to rage against Him. Why would God distribute this particular blessing only to a few? Does this act of God meet the standard of fairness advocated by Cultural Marxism?
Reformed theology teaches that the saints must and will persevere by God's grace. He supplies His people with what they need to finish the race. Everyone else goes without this grace from the Lord. The former do not receive God's help on the basis of their contribution to God's society but merely because God is love.
The entire reformed Christian outlook is predicated upon a perfectly righteous, generous Sovereign and a race made up of fallen human beings who deserve nothing but the whetted sword of an angry God (Psalm 7). What fellowship has light with darkness? What community can there be between the cosmology of sovereign mercy and the Weltanschauung of give me-give me-give me.
How do you get from reformed doctrine to complaining about microaggressions? What's the connection between this theology and telling people to check their privilege? Why do we think we can take the reformed faith and blend it with critical theory which is happily indebted to radical feminism, postmodern theory, and a godless Hegelian dialectic?
Why are we presently flirting with the Frankfurt School, Wokeness, Queer Theory, Feminism, Kimberle Crenshaw, Critical Race Theory, Invisible Knapsacks, White Privilege, and other friends of Antonio Gramsci?
Perhaps the real reason is that our reformed evangelicalism is not all that reformed.

Men Hide Their Anxiety Behind These Tell-Tale Behaviours
"When you try to stuff anxiety down, it just re-emerges in a different form."
by Ellen Hendriksen
09 February 2019, 1:11am
Worldwide, women are twice as likely as men to have an anxiety disorder. At least, that's the official word.
But anxiety isn't objective—a white-coated lab tech can't look down a microscope and diagnose it. Instead, to get the two-to-one ratio, science has relied on self-report—who's willing to tell researchers about symptoms, who shows up to therapy clinics and psychiatry waiting rooms, who stands up and proclaims, "I am anxious."
And those things—seeking treatment, saying "Yes, I have anxiety," even the willingness to label our fears and insecurities as "anxiety"—are pushed and pulled by social forces like stigma, gender norms, and what it means to be a woman or a man. Therefore, as a clinical psychologist and anxiety specialist, I'd be willing to bet the canyon between the numbers of men and women who report having anxiety is more like a crack in the sidewalk.
Why might men with anxiety be flying under the radar? While the science is still emerging on the biology of anxiety in men and women, I think the difference has a lot to do with how anxiety manifests.
Anxiety can present in a classic way, of course: worry, tension, fretting. But it also comes in a rainbow of other flavors. Anxiety is a slippery shape-shifter—when you try to stuff it down, it just re-emerges in a different form.
And while there is no such thing as "men's anxiety" or "women's anxiety," what happens in a society where, for men, fear is still stigmatized? Where boys are still told to suck it up when they're nervous or afraid? Where it's okay to feel bravado or rage, but not fear? What are the red herrings that, for men, may actually signal anxiety? These are the most common:
Alcohol Misuse
While women are more likely to turn to their friends for support when they're worried, men more often turn to a friend-in-a-bottle. It's true that alcohol "works," at least short term. For instance, one study found that for every drink, social anxiety declined by four percent. But long-term, alcohol enables men to avoid their anxieties instead of facing them, which just makes things worse. It's like trying to hold a beach ball underwater—it works for a while, but eventually it pops back up as a force to be reckoned with.
Everyone has heard of the stress response of fight or flight. Flight is what comes to mind when we think of anxiety: cowering in the corner, hiding in the bathroom, or making a beeline for...anywhere but here. But then there's fight. When feeling threatened, rather than making a break for it, men may be more likely to come out swinging. Anxiety can trigger the full range of anger, from the flash of an explosive outburst to the slow burn of constant frustration.
More from Tonic:
Grumpy, grouchy, touchy, on edge: Whatever you call it, it's irritability, and it's a little-known hallmark of anxiety. When your nerves are already frazzled, it's no surprise that your office-mate's overly-loud breathing or the driver who drills his high beams into your retinas on a country road makes some guys channel their inner grumpy old man.
In the anxiety specialty clinic where I work, I see many men who have worried themselves into a depression. Anxiety drives avoidance, which in turn constricts their lives. For instance, men who have panic attacks may avoid activities that stress their bodies, like working out. Those who fear judgment will avoid dating or turn down their buddies' invitations to go out. Men may try to control their anxiety by becoming more rigid, but living in a constant state of "if you want it done right you have to do it yourself" leaves little time for life's joys. Over time, avoiding life leaves life empty, which in turn is depressing. And feeling unable to turn anxiety around or a sense that things will never get better leaves many men feeling hopeless and helpless—the two pillars of depression.
All in all, how anxiety manifests in men and women can differ, but anxiety itself is equal opportunity. For both men and women, anxiety has the same tenets: anxiety is vague ("What if something bad happens?"), out of proportion to the actual risk or threat ("If I don't land a good summer internship my entire career is doomed"), and tells us we're going to suck at whatever life throws at us ("I'll just wait until there are no footsteps in the hallway before I leave my apartment so I don't have to make awkward small talk with the neighbor.")
But what else is equal opportunity? The fact that anxiety is changeable. It is indeed worrisome and stressful to be human, but it is also hopeful. No matter how your anxiety manifests, reach out. No matter your gender, anxiety doesn't have to run your life.

This is primarily due to the fact that the Celtic culture in Ireland has been maintained for more than 2,000 years.

Here's Why Kareena Kapoor Has Not Released The Second Son Jeh Ali Khan's Picture, Deets Inside
by Anjali Kumari · August 16, 2021
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan welcomed their second child Jeh Ali Khan in February this year and netizens began to debate that Jeh looks a lot like Taimur from his early days. In an interview with a magazine, Kareena Kapoor Khan opened up on how she plans to keep Jeh away from shutterbugs. She revealed that how Saif Ali Khan and her are playing things differently with their second son Jeh. She further stated that they were overwhelming with Taimur's popularity but got paranoid at times over her son's growing popularity.
Kareena has managed to protect Jeh's face from the cameras but the baby's name has landed in controversy. Addressing the same, Kareena spoke to India Today and said that with the world going through a pandemic so she has "no place for negativity" in her life. Earlier, she and her husband Saif Ali Khan were targeted for naming their son Taimur.
Kareena said, "Bollywood celebrities, in every situation, are a soft target. I'm a very positive person. I'm very happy and content and I want to spread positivity. In a time like covid, I can't think of trolls, I can't think of any form of negativity. There's no place for negativity in our lives because look at what the pandemic has taught us. It's bringing us closer, it has brought the world close, we have to stand for each other. That's the way I think, all of us think and I think all of us should think."
The actress said that there was undue attention given to her choice of naming her baby since there is a lot more happening in the world that should be the concern of Twitterati. "We're in a global pandemic right now. I don't think the most important thing is "what my son is doing or 'what my son's name is' or 'what exactly is happening with my son'. I don't think that's the focus", she shared.
Kareena further revealed that her hubby Saif Ali Khan often makes fun of her when she poses for the paparazzi. Talking about her hubby Saif's airport look, Kareena revealed that Saif doesn't understand airport looks. She said that Saif is comfortable with pajamas on his flights.
On the work front, Kareena will be next seen in Advait Chandan's Laal Singh Chaddha', sharing the frame with Aamir Khan.

De aardhommel (Bombus terrestris) behoort samen met drie andere nauw verwante en sterk op elkaar lijkende soorten tot de aardhommel-groep. Het is een hommel die van nature voorkomt in Europa, nabij de kusten van Noord-Afrika en in West- en Centraal-Azië.

Uiterlijke kenmerken
De wilgenhommel (Bombus cryptarum), de veldhommel (Bombus lucorum) en de grote veldhommel (Bombus magnus) zijn moeilijk te onderscheiden van de aardhommel. Allemaal hebben ze een borststuk waarvan het voorste deel geel en de rest zwart behaard is. Het voorstuk (tweede rugplaat) van het achterlijf is geel behaard, het tussenstuk zwart en het einde van het achterlijf is ook wit behaard. Mannetjes hebben wat meer gele haren op de kop en het eerste achterlijfssegment. De beharing is kort en regelmatig. De aardhommel heeft vergeleken met soorten als de akkerhommel en de tuinhommel een korte tong. Als de aardhommel niet bij de nectar kan komen breekt deze in door aan de onderkant van de bloemkroon een gaatje te bijten. Het nest zit in de grond en kan tot anderhalve meter diep liggen. Kraken van het nest komt veel voor. Kraken wil zeggen dat een andere koningin de koningin probeert dood te steken om zo het nest over te nemen. De aardhommel slaat het stuifmeel op in toevallig leegstaande broedcellen en is te vinden op vele planten. In het begin van het jaar op de wilg en later in het jaar veel op distels, klaver en vingerhoedskruid. Een volgroeide kolonie van de aardhommel bestaat uit zo'n 300 tot 600 werksters.

De koningin van de aardhommel is 20-23mm, de werkster 11-17 en het mannetje 14-16 mm lang. De spanwijdte van de koningin is zeer groot, soms wel tot 43 mm. De vrouwtjes van wilgenhommel zijn van de andere aardhommels te onderscheiden doordat de gele band op de voorzijde van het borststuk met een knik (hockeystick-achtige vorm) onder de vleugel doorloopt en de kleur meer goudgeel is. De nestzoekende koninginnen zijn te zien van begin februari tot midden mei, de werksters van midden april tot midden oktober en de jonge koninginnen en mannetjes van eind juli tot eind september.

De aardhommel verschilt van de veldhommel vooral in de strepen, van deze laatste zijn de strepen helder- of citroengeel. De strepen van de aardhommel zijn donkerder en meer okergeel.

Gedragsdimorfie
Gilbert Nixon heeft eens waargenomen dat een Bombus lucorum koningin een nest bouwde en de ingang met grassprietjes verborg. Terwijl ze dagenlang nectar en stuifmeel binnenbracht, werd haar nest toch ontdekt door een grotere Bombus terrestis koningin. Deze doodde daarop de zwakkere lucorum koningin en nam haar broedsel in bezit. Daarna ging deze nieuwe koningin gewoon verder met het verzorgen van het 'veroverde' broed en toen deze zogenaamde 'stiefkinderen' uitkwamen, brachten deze zonder bezwaar de nakomelingen van terrestris groot. Uit het een en ander zou geconcludeerd kunnen worden dat, wanneer de gelegenheid zich voordoet, de aardhommels zeer wel een al gereed nest compleet met broedsel en al in bezit kunnen nemen.

Elektrische signalen
De aardhommel heeft door het klappen van de vleugels een positieve elektrische lading over zich. Als een hommel een bloem bezoekt om er de nectar van te plukken, laat het zo een elektrische lading op de bloem achter. In 2013 bleek uit onderzoek in het lab dat hommels elektrische signalen kunnen oppikken. Mogelijk gebruiken ze deze techniek om al bezochte bloemen te onderscheiden van andere. Wellicht is dit dan niet uniek voor de gewone aardhommel - het onderzoek liep echter alleen op deze soort.

Invasieve soort
In 1998 werd de soort ingevoerd in Chili als bestuiver in broeikassen. Vanuit de broeikassen verspreidde de hommel zich over Chili en Argentinië, waar hij zich gedraagt als een invasieve soort. Waar hij voorkomt, verdwijnt de inheemse soort Bombus dahlbomii.

Where do you get those crazy ideas?"
By now, all of you have certainly heard Jacqueline or me reply, "You have to beat them off with a stick!" A writer's problem is never the original idea, but how to develop it. That is obvious to every would-be writer who has ever struggled through an entire plot, be it short short story or epic-length novel.
On the other hand, the writer with only one or two complete works under her belt may never yet have experienced the way a minor thought evolves into a major influence in a novel, or even a series of novels. Let me demonstrate by explaining the development of the white wolf in my SAVAGE EMPIRE series and the character of Owen Lodge in FIRST CHANNEL and CHANNEL'S DESTINY.
At that infamous August Party, 1978, when the threads of SAVAGE EMPIRE suddenly began weaving into a tapestry for me, I was bouncing my ideas off anyone who would listen. One of those who listened was Winston Howlett, editor of PROBE, best known in Trekfandom as the author of THE GODDESS UHURA. Recently he has started selling professional sf stories. When he heard that I was working on a heroic fantasy series, Winston, who is black, casually commented, "What heroic fantasy needs is a black hero."
People ought to know better than to throw challenges like that at me!
Although I already knew my two main characters, Lenardo and Aradia, the role of third main character was still open--and I filled it with Wulfston, a young black Adept, Aradia's apprentice and adopted brother, who develops into a hero in his own right by the end of the first book. The name "Wulfston", of course, is an obvious play on Winston Howlett--but it also happens to be a genuine Germanic name, meaning wolf-stone.
So there I was with a black man with a Germanic name in the middle of pseudo-medieval Europe! How he got there was easy enough to invent. How he got his name was another matter. In order to explain it, I invented the wolf-stone, Aradia's symbol That became a plot-device, the amulet Lenardo is given before he goes into exile. When I recognized the archetype of the shaman's adventure in the other world in Lenardo's quest, I created the real wolf--the totem animal. Now the wolf and the wolf-stone are inextricably woven into the SAVAGE EMPIRE universe--all because of a casual comment from a friend!
The character of Owen Lodge Erick in FIRST CHANNEL and CHANNEL'S DESTINY came about in a similar circuitous fashion. The question has come up over and over as to whether Gens have some sort of selyn-emission organs in their forearms to correspond to Simes' lateral tentacles. The "transfer points" suggest that idea to many fans, but Jacqueline says no, all the cells in a Gen's body produce selyn, and there is no particular outlet. Several scenes in FIRST CHANNEL demonstrate that fact.
However, although Jacqueline was sure that there were no selyn-emission organs, she didn't seem to be able to explain that fact to readers' satisfaction back in the early days of AMBROV ZEOR. The question came from fan after fan. Then--this was way back, when we were discussing the tentative outline of FIRST CHANNEL--at one of the many conventions Jacqueline and I attended, she showed me a letter which asked why Gen Territory people didn't wear armor on their forearms to protect themselves from Sime attack. That letter triggered a discussion between Jacqueline and me (I don't remember who else was there) which resulted in "the right question": could a one-armed Gen be killed or Donate?
The answer, of course, is yes--but the question gave us the graphic image that would demonstrate to readers once and for all that there are no selyn-emission organs in Gen forearms. In FIRST CHANNEL we would have a one-armed Donor! At that time we didn't know the story would take two books, as we were just working out the beginning. As we already knew that Kadi would be Rimon's Companion, we arbitrarily made our new character Companion to Rimon's son Zeth.
The existence of Owen Lodge began to weave all kinds of threads through FIRST CHANNEL. AS "Owen" is a Welsh name, I threw in a few other Welsh names like "Drust" and "Ennis" among the people of Fort Freedom. The main impact, however, was the story of Del Erick and Carlana Lodge. If Owen was to be of Zeth's generation, he had to be just a little kid at the beginning of FIRST CHANNEL. That meant he had to have at least one parent around--and like the chicken before the egg, the mother was created because we already had the son! And once we had that nice young widow and Rimon's friend Del . . . well, you all know what happened.
If you've read FIRST CHANNEL, and you're now thinking, "But Owen has both arms," you're right. Wait until you read the first chapter of CHANNEL'S DESTINY! Because this is Zeth's story, Owen becomes a major character--and his story and Zeth's are as closely, although differently, entwined as Hugh and Klyd's or Digen and Im's. And all of this because we set out to show-don't-tell that Gens don't have selyn-emission organs in their forearms!

I would like to use Python to parse the XML files and extract PMID,DateCreated,all DescriptorName and MajorTopicYN for each article. Then, save the result as .txt file that looks like:
ArticleID|CreatedDate|MeSH|IsMajor
23458631|20130408|Animals|N
23458631|20130408|Calcium|N
23458631|20130408|Calcium Chloride|N
23458629|20130320|Adolescent|N
23458629|20130320|Adult|N
23458629|20130320|Anthropometry|N

A: Here you go.
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
tree = ET.parse('data.xml')
root = tree.getroot()
with open('my_text_file.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write('ArticleID|CreatedDate|MeSH|IsMajor\n')
for pubmed_article in root.findall('PubmedArticle'):
    ArticleID = pubmed_article.find('MedlineCitation').find('PMID').text
    year = pubmed_article.find('MedlineCitation').find('DateCreated').find('Year').text
    month = pubmed_article.find('MedlineCitation').find('DateCreated').find('Month').text
    day = pubmed_article.find('MedlineCitation').find('DateCreated').find('Day').text
    CreatedDate = year + month + day
    for mesh_heading in pubmed_article.find('MedlineCitation').find('MeshHeadingList').findall('MeshHeading'):
        MeSH = mesh_heading.find('DescriptorName').text
        IsMajor = mesh_heading.find('DescriptorName').get('MajorTopicYN')
        line_to_write = ArticleID + '|' + CreatedDate + '|' + MeSH + '|' + IsMajor + '\n'
        with open('my_text_file.txt', 'a') as f:
            f.write(line_to_write)

Here is the output file
ArticleID|CreatedDate|MeSH|IsMajor
23458631|20130408|Animals|N
23458631|20130408|Calcium|N
23458631|20130408|Calcium Chloride|N
23458629|20130320|Adolescent|N
23458629|20130320|Adult|N
23458629|20130320|Anthropometry|N

A: Use ElementTree http://docs.python.org/2/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
tree = ET.parse('data.xml')
root = tree.getroot()
for pmid in root.iter('PMID'):
    print pmid.text

The output for this is
23458631
23458629

Once you have your element values you can build the strings and write them to a file.

A: here is my version:
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

xml_path = r'Y:\Misc\stack_overflow\Python\xml_extract\data.xml'
output_file_path = 'output.txt'
f = open(output_file_path, 'wb')
f.write('ArticleID|CreatedDate|MeSH|IsMajor\n')

tree = ET.parse(xml_path)
root = tree.getroot()

for pa in root.iter('PubmedArticle'):
    ArticleID = pa.find('MedlineCitation/PMID').text
    CreatedDate = pa.find('MedlineCitation/DateCreated/Year').text+\
                  pa.find('MedlineCitation/DateCreated/Month').text.zfill(2)+\
                  pa.find('MedlineCitation/DateCreated/Day').text.zfill(2)
    for mh in pa.iter('MeshHeading'):
        DescriptorName = mh.find('DescriptorName').text
        MajorTopicYN = mh.find('DescriptorName').attrib['MajorTopicYN']
        f.write(ArticleID+'|'+CreatedDate+'|'+DescriptorName+'|'+MajorTopicYN+'\n')
f.close()

The output in the file is:
ArticleID|CreatedDate|MeSH|IsMajor
23458631|20130408|Animals|N
23458631|20130408|Calcium|N
23458631|20130408|Calcium Chloride|N
23458629|20130320|Adolescent|N
23458629|20130320|Adult|N
23458629|20130320|Anthropometry|N

Types of violence against women
Sexual violence and harassment
Non-physical forms of abuse
Men are most likely to experience violence in a public place, by a male stranger.1 Women are most likely to experience violence in their homes, by a male partner2 – this is known as 'domestic violence' or 'family violence'.
Domestic violence involves someone making their partner afraid by abusing them, over time, in order to control them. This is what differentiates it from violence between partners that is 'one off' or 'goes both ways'. It can include physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, financial, technological, social and spiritual abuse. While men also experience it, domestic violence is mostly perpetrated by men against women.3
Since the age of 15, approximately one in four women and one in 13 men have experienced violence from a partner. 4
Women are more likely to feel fear as a result of partner violence.5
Women are more likely than men to be killed by a partner. In Australia, from 2010-2014, 121 women were killed by male partners (current or former). In this same period, 28 men were killed by female partners.*6
Family violence is a broader term than domestic violence – it refers not only to violence between partners, but also to violence between family members, including child and elder abuse.^ Family violence is mostly perpetrated by men against women and children.
Around one in six girls and one in 10  boys has experienced abuse before the age of 15.7
More than twice as many children experienced abuse from their father or stepfather as from their mother or stepmother.8
Women and children also experience violence outside their homes, including sexual violence and harassment. Around one in four sexual assaults are perpetrated by a stranger.9
Since the age of 15, one in five women and one in 20 men has experienced sexual violence.+10
Since the age of 15, around one in two women and one in four men has experienced sexual harassment.11
The vast majority of perpetrators of sexual violence and harassment are men.12
The majority of child sexual abuse is perpetrated by non-familial known men, including male foster carers, family friends, neighbours, doctors, teachers and religious leaders.13
Non-physical forms of abuse can be part of domestic violence and family violence. Non-physical forms of abuse can include:
emotional and psychological abuse
social abuse
financial and economic abuse
technological abuse
spiritual abuse
stalking.
Perpetrators may use a range of non-physical abusive behaviours to manipulate, coerce, control, threaten and harm women and children. Women and their children report that non-physical forms of abuse can be of equal or greater impact than physical violence.
All forms of abuse can have significant and long-term health and wellbeing, economic and social impacts on women and children.

How Was the Hebrew of the Bible Originally Pronounced?
Three traditions of pronouncing the Hebrew Bible existed in the first millennium C.E.: Babylonian, Palestinian, and Tiberian, each with its own written vocalization system. From the later Middle Ages on, however, biblical manuscripts have been written almost exclusively with the vowels and cantillation marks of the Tiberian system while paradoxically, the Tiberian pronunciation itself fell into oblivion.
For too long Orthodox Jews have looked on Bible scholarship as a threat rather than an opportunity.

I am not trying to make an argument for mental verses physical Leaping, I'm not trying to prove that Sam is absolutely Leaping mentally in the show. I was simply trying to provide an explanation for why I thought what I thought back when I began writing. I did not see all the episodes that you are referencing at the time.
My apologies, I am just realizing how my posts on the subject seem to be somewhat shoving my viewpoint in your face. That was certainly not my intention nor was it to tell you that you are wrong. I understand what you were trying to explain now and that's totally fine.
Ha, it's true I can dissect something to death and I bet Bellisario would most certainly shake his head at my posts in particular and ask why on earth I care so much in what form Sam is leaping. But here's the thing, how much I think into concepts of a fandom is actually how you can tell how into it I am. It may sound strange but that's just how I roll.
The scientifics of the project were not what was important to him, he even says as much in 'Another Time, Another Place' in regards to Ziggy's gender in The Leap Back contradicting the prior references. That he didn't care but offered that if fans must have an in-story explanation let it be that Sam in his swiss-cheese state forgot that Ziggy is female and Al went along with that to prevent confusion. What he meant to project with the show is a man with a huge caring heart touching people's lives and changing them for them for the better. This is what made the first four seasons of the show so reaching.
And I was saying sorry if I tick you off for writing Sam leaping mentally. Right or wrong, like it or not, it's just something I did for all the reasons I explained and I chose to keep it.
Of course not, it's fine with me. I still read and enjoy McConnell even if she is not my favorite of the novel authors.
Okay, while trying to not give too much away, my stories involve an in-leap romance. And there is a character brought onto the project to work on a way to bring Sam home. And he eventually does, but Sam did not father him. Sam does become a father figure to him, though. Having not seen Trilogy nor The Leap Back by the end of the series, I wanted to combat the ending where Sam never Leaped home and reward him, to give him a love I felt he deserved. I had already come up with one story in the fall of 1992 (Leap to the Future) and decided to write more based on those same characters.
Sounds very intriguing and I am excited to read it.


I've been wanting to play around with some black and white edits for awhile now. I'm a novice and not every image lends itself to black and white. But I'm pleased with how these few turned out.
I'm always intrigued over the result when color is removed from an image. It's like looking through a different lens. You see things you didn't notice before and some of the things you did notice fade away.
Sometimes we can benefit from applying this process to our lives. Changing the lens - removing the color and studying the black and white that remains.
Advent gives us an opportunity to pause and study the picture.
Whether you're waiting for Him or you're just waiting for a new start and a new year, this is a time of slowing and introspection.
Advent is also a time of darkness. We sit quietly in the dark, waiting for the Light.
If you're seeing more darkness than light in your picture, I encourage you to hold it up against the light of His word.
The sacred scriptures will reveal El-Roi, the God Who sees you. The One True God Who created you and knows you intimately.

Berkeley Joins 'edX' Effort to Offer Free Open Courses
By Jeffrey R. Young. Since the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University unveiled their plan to create a platform for free online courses called edX, more than 120 other colleges and universities around the world have expressed interested in joining in. Today leaders of the effort announced that they've added the University of California at Berkeley as a partner, and that more institutions will eventually be admitted to the exclusive group.
While MIT and Harvard have both committed $30-million each to the project, Berkeley will not bring any money to the table. Instead, it will contribute technology—specifically, a new online-education platform that engineers at the university had already been working on, says John Wilton, Berkeley's vice chancellor. The university will also teach two free courses through edX starting in the fall: one on artificial intelligence and another on "software as a service."
Berkeley will also take a leadership role in edX, agreeing to chair the "X University Consortium," a new governing body for the project.
"We really want to expand and add universities," said Anant Agarwal, who leads the edX project and who is director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. "Berkeley is the first one, the first of many." He would not say how many universities would be added, however, or how soon new members will join. "You should think of edX as a not-for-profit start-up," he added. "We are gearing up and trying to ramp up as a start-up as fast as we can go."
The business plan for edX is similar to that of Coursera, a for-profit start-up that has signed deals with more than a dozen highly selective universities—meaning many key details remain undecided. The only source of revenue planned for edX so far is to charge students who successfully complete the courses a small fee for certificates. But leaders of the effort say they may also offer services to help employers use the courses to recruit new talent. EdX has won major donations and grant support, however. Officials announced today that an MIT alumnus, Philippe P. Laffont, founder of Coatue Management LLC, and a Harvard alumnus, Jonathan Grayer, former chairman and CEO of Kaplan Inc., have both made gifts to support the effort, though the amounts were not released. Last month the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced a $1-million grant to support the project as well.
Mr. Agarwal stressed that the long-term goal is to make the free courses self-sustaining. "We are talking to several other foundations, but I think you have to become self-sustaining," he said. "No foundation wants to fund you forever."
MIT has faced challenges in figuring out how to pay for its pioneering OpenCourseWare effort to give away materials from hundreds of its courses online, a project that is now more than a decade old. One key difference between the edX project and for-profit companies offering free courses is that edX leaders say the software they build to offer their courses will be open source, so that anyone else can use it free and help develop the code. "The open-source platform will allow all of us to contribute to the platform and not have to worry too much about who owns the intellectual property—it's going to be shared," Mr. Agarwal said.
George Siemens, a pioneer of offering free open courses who is a leader of Athabasca University's Technology Enhanced Knowledge Research Institute, sees the open-software aspect of edX as "one of the biggest benefits" of the project. "They're not just worried about growing their brands, but they're making something that others can use," he said. He said he has been surprised by how rapidly major universities are moving to offer free open courses, often called MOOCs, or massive open online courses. "I can't recall a time when universities at one moment have responded en masse as aggressively and as collaboratively," he said.

You want to find the right match because a new glove could end up being your trusty companion for several years. A glove is like a fine wine, it gets better with age. You know what we're talking about. Nothing beats a battle-tested, full-grain leather, rugged glove that's weathered a few seasons of sweat and dirt. It acquires a charm of its own.
In this equipment guide, Dugout Debate covers all the bases: the best gloves types for each position, reviews of the best baseball gloves of 2018, and we go over a handful of things you should keep an eye on before making a final purchase decision. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a teenager with a heart set on going pro, there's something for everyone. There is no one size fits all for baseball players, so you may want to try out a few of your buddies and teammates gloves to get an idea of what you're looking for.
Size. Bigger isn't always better when it comes to baseball gloves. This will mostly depend on your position. For infielders, cleanly fielding the ball and the ability to make a quick transfer from glove to throwing hand is the most important factor. A smaller glove with a shallower pocket makes it easy to get the ball out of the glove and results in a speedy transfer. We talk more about positions and types of gloves in our next section below. Rawlings also has a nice table for glove sizing.
Webbing. The webbing connects the thumb of the glove to the rest of the finger slots. This is the part that folds and expands the easiest, creating the "basket" that assists the player in catching the ball. Glove manufacturers have come up with all sorts of cool names for their special webs, but they generally fall into two broad categories. Closed webs use a tight woven pattern of leather that features no gaps in the webbing. Pitchers usually use this type so they can better hide their grips pre-delivery. Open webs use cross-like patterns of leather pieces to create gaps which the player can see through which can be helpful for tracking fly balls (though you'll sacrifice some of your ability to block out the sun). Open webbing also allows dirt to fall out through the spaces so you don't scoop a glove full load of dirt when fielding a ground ball.
Backing. This is the part of the glove that rests on the back of your hand. The backing is either an open or closed design. Backing tends to be more of a personal preference thing, as both open and closed backed gloves offer similar performance. The key difference is that an open back allows more flexibility in the wrist and is generally favored by infielders, while a closed back provides extra wrist stability and is usually preferred by first basemen and outfielders for those laser beam line drives. In addition, open backs provide more ventilation for sweaty hands which is a nice benefit on hot summer days.
Price. You've heard it before, "You get what you pay for," blah blah blah. You don't have to buy the most expensive mitt out there to get the best performance. There are quite a few fairly priced gloves that will do just fine. No one needs Rawlings' top tier glove to field a ground ball. The main thing to look for is the quality of the leather and set your expectations accordingly. Don't expect to buy a synthetic glove and have the thing last more than a couple seasons. Keep in mind by the time you go pro, you won't need to worry about buying fancy gear anyway.

1 packet Baking powder 3 tsp.
1 Soak the fruit in tea overnight then drain well. Line a loaf pan with baking parchment. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F with top and bottom heat. Beat the eggs with the sugar and salt until foamy. Mix the flour with the baking powder and apple pie spice and fold into the egg mixture. Fold in the drained fruit and spread the batter smoothly in the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour. Then cover with aluminum foil to prevent the top from burning and bake for a further 30-45 minutes.
2 When done, let rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cake rack. Brush with clear honey while still hot and let cool completely.
Nice fruit loaf but you need to sort out the ingredients on the first pagr. 1333 cups of rasins! 200 meters of tea! I suspect people dont go further than that.

A: Both have sucked up a lot of seamen.
6.Q: Why did the blind blonde cross the road?


Temple and Shrine are different. Here is how to go and visit to Japanese Shrine.
Wash your hands and mouth. Take a water scoop on right hand and scoop water. Wash your left hand first, then wash right hand. Then Then wash your mouth. Don't directly wash your mouth from the scoop.

Wine suppliers can't complain about tough supermarket deals
A host of leading Tesco wine suppliers have said they are not surprised by the supermarket's £250 million accounting black hole - but say suppliers must "push back" harder against buyer demands.
Most suppliers say account managers need to better understand the "rules of the game they're playing" in dealing with all supermarkets, but added that ultimately, if they are not happy with demands, they can and should walk away.
Supermarket wine suppliers should take responsibility for tough dealsAs supplier/retailer relations come under the spotlight in the wake of Tesco's accounting error, suppliers say account managers need to 'understand the rules of the game'.
Agreeing to onerous deals with retailers can guarantee business in the short-term but causes longer-term problems, said one former supplier. "From there it's an inexorable slide downwards. [Suppliers] feel aggrieved, but they should be most annoyed with themselves,"
Matthew Dickinson, former commercial director at Thierry's Wine Services, told Harpers.co.uk: "Over the last 10 years suppliers have given fees relating to positioning and pricing discounts - a whole different basket of things - but there's nothing illegal in that. It's all part of the commercial transaction outside of the standard price and purchase side. It's not unusual."
As retailers have got more sophisticated, so too have the deals they make. For suppliers who are faring well at Tesco, they would "find a way to make it [deals/upfront fees] happen, and you would get your reward a couple of months later", said one supplier.
Some also say wine gets a much easier ride than other categories - Dickinson states that while the dairy industry would really struggle against a supermarket's dominance, "in wine we have a relatively evenly-balanced field."
Suppliers also need to take greater responsibility, Dickinson said: "You need to go into a meeting understanding where your limits are. Suppliers must be armed with where they can get to, otherwise they will lose money. Many people are extremely unprofessional, and go into meetings without having planned. They will get a poor deal."
"The closer you get to retailers, the more they try it on," said another experienced supermarket wine supplier. But he is circumspect, saying "he doesn't blame them for pushing their luck". "If you're selling £10 million through Tesco, that £10 million is a drop in the ocean to them. But to you it's huge. That gives them a huge amount of power."
Bernard Fontannaz, founder of Origin Wine, was philosophical: "If it doesn't work for you - you might as well be delisted, in other words, get out of the kitchen if you cannot take the heat."
New product development is key, according to Fontannaz. "You have to innovate - it's not all about price, it can be pricing with some flair. That forces you to be more in tune with consumers."

In following up his debut album, 2014's Silence/Win, singer/songwriter, Kim Churchill, had to look deep within as the spectre of his first LP began to creep into the new era that beckoned his sophomore release.
"The last album hung in there for a long time," Churchill notes, down the 'line from Newcastle. "In a way, I was battling to end it and start on something that was stronger and better. I guess it's good when you do an album that pushes you beyond anything you've done before and sets the bar really high. In recording the next album, I felt I was safe with that bar, almost.
Having gotten up to the 18th attempt at mixing the songs that were meant to make up his second LP, Churchill decided to walk away and write a whole new album within the short space of a week.
A few relics of the old songs did make it onto the forthcoming new album, but the vast majority of songs come from the second writing attempt. The first glimpse of the album has arrived in the form of the single, Breakneck Speed, written in Quebec, Canada, at a time when heaving touring was having an effect on even this road-hardened troubadour.
As the near-catatonic Churchill stared out the window of the tour van, he quite literally saw the forest for the trees.
"So we arrive in Quebec and we were still just as busy," he recalls. "But there was a real moment when we driving along the highway with my original soundguy. He'd lived out of a van with me and toured the world for three or four years until he fell in love with a girl he met and settled down to have kids. He'd come back on the road for me on that tour and it was really grounding and good to have him back, because he was very much the elder brother figure.
"He speeds like a demon and was just racing down the highway and I'd forgotten that weird kind of comfortable calm, that we're doing 130km and he's in control and got the whole thing under wraps. And Quebec in the fall is just one of the most beautiful things you'll ever see, - every tree is a different colour and the sky is electric blue. There's reds and purples and oranges, it's almost like an acid trip or something... especially when you're going 130 down the freeway passing it all.
Breakneck Speed was the song that came of that experience, and interestingly it later completed the puzzle when Churchill wrote that week's worth of songs to fill his rebooted second album.
With the album due later in 2017, Churchill is touring national in support of the single. After a break from touring he's ready to roll once again.
It's good to be kept on your toes though, right?


Lang Tai Sing stretched out nicely when asked for a response following a handy run to get up close to home for the win. He had put the writing on the wall last month and should remain competitive despite a likely five-or-six point penalty for this win. Raging favourite Fairy Twins drifted out over the final 150m after hitting the front 300m out following a box-seat run and had to settle for second in the end. It was a good first run in the grade and has further room for improvement. Harbour Nova was never properly tested over the final 100m when pulling off the fence 300m out following a midfield run. He should have gone closer and should be winning shortly. Joao Moreira appeared to be day dreaming inside the final 150m on Flying Force who should have gotten up from midfield for a placing with a bit more vigour in his ride. Charity Glory had to be ridden further back than usual when hampered at the start but did make good ground late.
GREEN CARD shifted in at the start and bumped HARBOUR NOVA.
PAKISTAN BABY, CAPE THE FAITH and CHARITY GLORY were all badly crowded for room between FLYING FORCE and DIAMOND DRAGON which, after initially being directed out by FABULOUS NOVEMBER, then shifted further away from that horse.
After this, PAKISTAN BABY, CAPE THE FAITH and CHARITY GLORY were all shifted across behind runners.
Also from a wide barrier, GOLDEN DEER was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Approaching the 1000 Metres, CAPE THE FAITH got its head up when awkwardly placed close to the heels of HARBOUR NOVA.
Passing the 900 Metres, GREEN CARD was steadied away from the heels of RIGHT CALL (Apprentice K K Chiong) which shifted in when not properly clear.
Apprentice Chiong was reprimanded and advised to ensure that she is sufficiently clear when shifting ground in similar circumstances.
DIAMOND DRAGON lay out in the middle stages.
FABULOUS NOVEMBER had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight and passing the 300 Metres was shifted out across the heels of DIAMOND DRAGON.
HARBOUR NOVA was held up for clear running in the early part of the Straight and passing the 200 Metres made contact with LANG TAI SING to obtain clear running between that horse and FAIRY TWINS.
N Callan (FAIRY TWINS) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that approaching and passing the 100 Metres he permitted his mount to shift out when not clear of HARBOUR NOVA, causing that horse to lose the running to which it was rightfully entitled and to be badly hampered.
N Callan was suspended from riding in races for a period to commence on Sunday, 16 October 2016 and to expire on Thursday, 20 October 2016 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays).
In addition, N Callan was fined $20,000.
Following this incident, HARBOUR NOVA was then held up for clear running behind FAIRY TWINS and LANG TAI SING until just prior to the finishing line.
When questioned regarding the performance of GREEN CARD, D Whyte stated that as horses which were racing on the speed in previous races today appeared to be advantaged, he was asked to ride GREEN CARD in about 4th or 5th position if possible.
He said the connections of GREEN CARD did not want to give away too much ground to the front runners in today??s race having regard to the horse carrying 132 lbs.
He said when GREEN CARD began well, he was able to obtain a forward position without having to pressure the horse.
He said he did give consideration to shifting in to race behind FIVE UP HIGH in the early stages, however, he did not believe that horse would take him into the race, therefore he elected to ride forward of FIVE UP HIGH in order to possibly obtain a position in advance of LANG TAI SING.
He said however that that horse was ridden along to maintain its position and this resulted in GREEN CARD racing in a three wide position without cover throughout the race.
He added whilst GREEN CARD did not finish off the race over the concluding stages, he contributed this to the fact that the horse was obliged to cover ground rather than being ridden in a more forward position than it had previously.
A veterinary inspection of GREEN CARD immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
LANG TAI SING and FAIRY TWINS were sent for sampling.

What to watch for in primaries in Pennsylvania, Connecticut and 3 other states
Local // Election
Alexander Burns, New York Times April 26, 2016
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have drawn closer to their parties' nominations with almost every passing week. The five elections Tuesday — in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island — may offer them their best chance before June to gain a final, decisive advantage over their opponents.
But Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has been a tenacious opponent on the Democratic side, and could find precincts of strength even on a primary day that favors Clinton. Gov. John Kasich of Ohio and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas face even more daunting terrain on the Republican side; for them, this week is a battle for survival.
Some of the big questions we will be watching as the returns roll in:
Can Clinton effectively claim the nomination?
It would be almost impossible for Clinton to amass enough delegates Tuesday night to clinch the Democratic nomination, even including superdelegates. But if she manages a commanding performance across the Northeast, after her strong victory in New York last week, she could come close enough to declare the race all but finished.
Clinton and her supporters have handled Sanders cautiously, even as she has gained a clear upper hand. In the event that she sweeps the Tuesday contests, there may be growing public pressure on him from across the party to scale back his campaign — or wrap it up entirely — before the political calendar moves into a string of Sanders-friendly states in May.

Will any city vote for Sanders?
Clinton's greatest strength in the primary has been her support from black and Hispanic voters, partisan Democrats and older women of all backgrounds. These groups are often most powerful in big cities, and Clinton's winning record has often correlated with the strength of the urban vote:
She won Illinois thanks to Chicago and Nevada thanks to Las Vegas, and took New York by 15 points thanks to New York City.
If she keeps up that streak in Baltimore, Bridgeport, Philadelphia and elsewhere Tuesday, Sanders could wind up getting crushed. His best shot at avoiding a shutout might be Rhode Island, with Providence and its sizable student population as a lifeline.
Can Trump win a Pennsylvania blowout?
Trump is expected to carry Pennsylvania easily, but the state's quirky delegate rules mean winning isn't everything — or even the most important thing. Pennsylvania will award only 17 delegates to the winner of the popular vote statewide; it will send an additional 54 unbound delegates to the convention in Cleveland, all of them free to vote for their own preferences.
For Trump, those 54 delegates could be the difference between winning the Republican nomination on the first ballot and falling agonizingly short. The bigger his margin of victory is Tuesday, the stronger his hand will be in coaxing and cajoling the whole contingent from Pennsylvania into his camp.
Will Kasich and Cruz split evenly?
With Trump favored to win all five states voting Tuesday, the challenge for his two opponents is once again to hold down his margin of victory and snatch away whatever delegates they can. That task is most urgent in Connecticut, Maryland and Rhode Island, three states that lean strongly to Trump but where many delegates are awarded according to the vote in each congressional district.
In theory, that could give Cruz and Kasich the opportunity to peel off delegates from Trump here and there, even as Trump wins easily overall. But that game plan did not work in New York: Cruz and Kasich split the anti-Trump vote and failed to make a real stand in any region of the state. Trump won in a rout.
Which Trump will take the stage?
The Republican front-runner gave a sober victory speech — by his standards — in New York last week, fueling speculation that he would shift his candidacy in a more conventional direction. Within days, he was back to branding Cruz as "Lyin' Ted" and mocking his Canadian birthplace. On Monday, Trump ridiculed Kasich for the way he eats. (The governor, Trump claimed, takes excessively large bites of food.)
For Trump to sew up the nomination without a messy spectacle at the convention, he has to do more than amass delegates. He also has to convince his Republican critics — or at least, any of them who remain persuadable — that he is not some political wild man who will trash the party in the general election. That means adopting a different tone on election night — and sustaining it this time.

Q: Allow Maximum Minimize modal window in 18.04 Maximize Minimize not available
Running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
When using LibreOffice,
and go to the Options page,
it will not allow Maximize or Minimize (grayed-out).
The same in Nemo-Preferences,
and in KFind main page,
and in Ubuntu Software - About page.
Where might I go to make the change to allow Maximize/Minimize ?

A: Seems I won't be able to Maximize/Minimize the modal windows, since they are "hard-coded" that way.  Tk to DK Bose for sending me on the trail.
But that is when I am in the windows manager Gnome 3. So I found if I switch to Gnome Flashback (Compiz), or Mate, or Unity; Then I get buttons back that allow me to Max or Min.
And now I use Mate with Pantheon Panel,
and Compiz (Advanced CPU accelerated desktop effects),
and Open CCSM, Go to bottom to Window Management,
Make sure check is on Maximumize, Move Window, Place Window, and Resize Window.
Now all windows are able to be Max or Min or any size.


The State Library of Queensland is a good case study of the application of these modern design initiatives - an image of signage at the building which has symbols and Braille for people with impaired vision exists. The image shows a map and signage providing three major functions of basic map design principles: orientation with present location and desired location, identification of locations and the use of raised tactile lettering and Braille. The image illustrates the physical placement, installation and illumination of signage must be suitable for all persons.
A Cooperative Research Centre for Construction Innovation project aimed at improving access to new and existing buildings for people with a disability has won the Queensland Governments 2007 Disability Action Week Award in the Building and Accessible Environments Category.
The award for Wayfinding in the built environment was presented by the Queensland Governments Disability Services Minister Warren Pitt at a function at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre at South Bank today (17 July 2007).
Queenslands Department of Public Works (QDPW) was a key participant in the project, along with the CSIRO, the Queensland University of Technology, the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) and the Building Commission.
In congratulating the recipients, QDPW Minister Robert Schwarten said the project team had achieved a number of practical solutions to improving access to new and existing property for people with a disability.
The project commenced in 2002 and identified wayfinding systems, technologies and devices appropriate for people with a sensory impairment, particularly people with vision impairment, Mr Schwarten said.It has also identified systems, technologies and devices making access to properties easier and safer for all people.
The team has developed Wayfinding Design Guidelines to foster a reasonable, practical and comprehensive design approach to assist designers, developers, property owners and property managers in identifying ways of improving access to their new or existing property, particularly buildings and large complex facilities.
Mr Schwarten said the guidelines represented material sourced from experts such as Architects, Landscape Architects, Lawyers, Engineers, Building Surveyors, Building Regulators, Access Consultants, people with local expertise, and, persons with a disability.
The design guidelines are intended to be flexible within the context of a built environment and can be used by designers from a number of perspectives including systems for pedestrians, cyclists, drivers of vehicles, building occupants, and visitors, including local or international tourists.
Team Leader, Ron Apelt, from the Department of Works, said the vision impaired are often forgotten in the planning and designing of buildings, public outdoor urban spaces and natural outdoor environments. Our document has been compiled with an emphasis on new buildings and the immediate spaces surrounding these buildings. However, the document is equally applicable for any upgrade proposals for existing buildings, improving wayfinding around large complexes, such as university campuses, hospitals, schools, Mr Aplet said. It is easily transferable also to urban spaces like malls and shopping centres as the design principles remain constant regardless of the type of spaces and places.
Keith Hampson, Construction Innovations CEO, said: Any wayfinding system is more than just signs. It encompasses architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, lighting and cognitive landmarks.
It is essentially about the design of spaces that should assist users in spatial problem solving by providing a consistency of clues throughout the spaces.
There are four primary communicative elements (commonly referred to as clues) or criteria types - architectural, graphic, audible and tactile communication.
It is recognised that an overlap of clues exist, however as a thinking and decision tool each of the primary communicative elements (clues) are broken down into a collection of questions to facilitate an informed decision-making process.
The Building Code of Australia (BCA) provides a useful framework that lends itself as a codified means of ensuring some wayfinding devices and systems are implemented into a building and/or development project.
The BCA has historically and principally dealt with health and safety and amenity issues (as they relate to health and safety).
However, the BCA has progressively changed by systematically dealing with issues such as, the inclusion of a buildings functionality relating to its energy efficiency performance and access for people with disabilities to buildings as well as other matters not principally dealing with health and safety, Dr Hampson said.

The Etihad flight bound for London's Heathrow Airport was redirected after a passenger began making threats.
Two RAF Typhoon jets were scrambled to accompany the airliner before it landed shortly before midday.
An Essex Police spokeswoman said a 37-year-old British national was arrested at Stansted Airport.
She said: ''A 37-year-old man, a British national, has been arrested following an incident onboard an Etihad Airways plane travelling from Abu Dhabi to Heathrow.
''The pilot reported a passenger causing disruption and making threats. The plane was was diverted to Stansted Airport were it landed just before midday.
''No-one has been injured and the airport has been operating normally.''
A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said: ''Typhoon aircraft were launching this morning to escort a passenger aircraft due to an incident on board.
''The aircraft landed safely at Stansted Airport.''

If you want to take a walk along the Riverwalk, try starting just across the street from the ballpark's grand staircase at the corner of 1st Street and Potomac Ave., SE. Take the crosswalk toward the Old Capitol Pumphouse, which marks the location of Diamond Teague Park and Piers, then turn left on the boardwalk. By late 2016 the new public plaza in front of the pumphouse and east of the Dock 79 apartment building on the old Florida Rock site should be completed.
April 17, 2016 - A new stretch of the Riverwalk is expected to open later in 2016, running in front of Dock 79 east of Teague Park.
