Haematologica 1998 May The recent description of new conditions associated with iron overload and the identification of the genetic defect of hereditary hemochromatosis prompted us to review this subject and to redefine the diagnostic criteria of iron overload disorders.
Clinical and molecular aspects of juvenile hemochromatosis in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean (Quebec, canada) Blood Cells Mol Dis 2000 Feb Although the mean age at onset of the first symptoms was 21. 5 years, their mean age at diagnosis was 23.8 years; the diagnosis was particularly delayed among women. Seventy-seven percent of the patients had hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and 69% heart failure and/or cardiac arrhythmias.

Genetic hemochromatosis, a Celtic disease: is it now time for population screening? Genet Test 2001 Summer;The high C282Y allele frequency in the Irish population together with its close linkage to HH indicate that C282Y genotyping is the preferred screening strategy for this disease in Ireland.
Hereditary Haemochromatosis and Iron Metabolism, Carlson J, Olsson S, eJIFCC vol 13 no 2, THE JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF CLINICAL CHEMISTRY. An early laboratory finding seen in HH is an abnormal saturation of transferrin (TS)to a level >45% (33). This elevation is absent in rapidly growing adolescent males and in menstruating and reproducing females.

High incidence of blood disease in Irish babies
Irish Medical Times April 14, 2000 Routine genetic testing of newborn babies may be warranted because of the high incidence of a serious blood disease in the Irish population. Dr John Crowe, gastroenterologist at the Centre for Liver Disease, Mater Hospital said that one in 86 Irish babies are genetically predisposed to haemachromatosis, which is the highest incidence in the world.

Hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism in an 11 year old boy with hemochromatosis secondary to aplastic anemia. Acta Paediatr Jpn. 1995 Aug This is the first reported case, to our knowledge, of hypoparathyroidism and hypothyroidism due to secondary hemochromatosis with onset during childhood.

Infant diet and salmonellosis Am J Public Health 1991 Aug Interviews of case parents suggested that the use of high-iron infant formula was associated with this problem. Breast-feeding apparently protects against the development of physician-diagnosed clinical salmonellosis, while the feeding of high-iron infant formula has the opposite effect.
Inherited iron overload.
Acta Paediatr Scand Suppl. 1989 Several inherited forms of iron overload have been described. It is now accepted that HC, usually regarded as a disease of adult life, is an inherited disorder, hence all first degree relatives must be presumed to be at increased risk of developing iron overload and the diagnosis is now frequently made in young relatives. The combination of serum iron, transferrin saturation and serum ferritin determination will detect iron overload in an early, precirrhotic stage
Interpretation of iron studies in adolescent haemochromatosis Clin Lab Haematol 1999 Apr;21(2):129-31 This case highlights that a low serum ferritin does not exclude the diagnosis of HH and that the availability of genetic testing can now enable probands and affected family members to be identified.

The Answer to Crib Death "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome" (SIDS)
Joseph G. Hattersley From Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine Volume 8, Number 4, 1993, pp.229-245 2.3 The role of iron in crib death has been almost universally ignored. Some have found excess iron in SID autopsies. Ferritin is a strong oxidant; an excess promotes oxidation reactions.

Research currently suggests that JH & HH are separate conditions of iron overload, with JH not being connected to the HFE related iron overload. I am not personally convinced that this is the case. In my opinion, much more research into iron overload in children needs done to prove this to be true.
Hereditary juvenile haemochromatosis: a genetically heterogeneous life-threatening iron-storage disease.

Should a pregnant woman routinely be given prenatal vitamins with iron? Many women who have been diagnosed with HH recall that many of their HH problems began with their pregnancies. Perhaps it could be attributed to the iron that they were ingesting for 9 months? A midwife that I once worked with supported my "theory" that pregnancy induced hypertension [PIH,] preeclampsia, gestational diabetes & other problems in pregnancy may be related to IO and/or undiagnosed HH. Hopefully, someday there will be studies done to see if there is indeed a connection.

IRON/PRETERM DELIVERY
SCIENCE/HEALTH ABSTRACTS Volume 14, Number 4, Copyright 1995, Phylis A. Austin Pregnant women with high serum ferritin concentrations are at increased risk of early preterm spontaneous delivery, according to a report from the Departments of Nutrition Sciences and Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. They concluded that serum ferritin levels can be used to predict early preterm delivery. (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 61(4)911, April 1995)
Iron—Too Much of a Good Thing? Archived Articles: 12-04-2000 Steven Bratman, M.D. A new study suggests that too much iron can cause problems of its own in pregnancy. An evaluation of 488 pregnant women found that very high levels of iron are also associated with pre-term delivery and low-birthweight infants, as well as other complications.
Maternal hemoglobin concentration during pregnancy and risk of stillbirth.
JAMA. 2000 Nov 22-29 High hemoglobin concentration at first measurement during antenatal care appears to be associated with increased risk of stillbirth, especially preterm and SGA antepartum stillbirths.
Joseph G. Hattersley From Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine Volume 8, Number 4, 1993, pp.229-245 2.3 The role of iron in crib death has been almost universally ignored. Some have found excess iron in SID autopsies. Ferritin is a strong oxidant; an excess promotes oxidation reactions. Giving supplemental iron during lactation, or formula "with iron," can precipitate one avoidable form of SID. Suppose a baby contracts botulism (Clostridium botulinum). If it lives on its mother's milk alone botulism develops slowly, the baby can be brought to the hospital and treated successfully. If the baby gets formula "with iron," botulism strikes like lightning. In 69 botulism cases, 39 had been breast- and 30 formula-fed. The ten who died were all formula babies getting added iron. 40


If we were to choose one Biblical author and one verse to be queried by a time-traveling exegete, Paul's insistence to the Corinthians that "all who eat and drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgment against themselves" (I Corinthians 11:29) would get more than a few votes. The judgment is clear–in the next verse, Paul explains that the Corinthians are taking ill and dying because of this particular impiety–but the precise sense of "discerning the body" has bedeviled the church for a very long time. Does it refer to discerning what a later age would call the real presence of the Body and Blood of Christ? Does it refer to identifying the body of believers among whom one partakes? Is it aimed instead toward personal holiness?
In this issue of Let's Talk, we're exploring how the church discerns the sacramental body against a shifting background of the world at large–a world of Christians from various traditions, of confirmed skeptics and curious "nones," of religious seekers and the committed adherents of other faiths. New questions are being asked, in and of this body, about what constitutes participation, sharing, commitment, and membership. Should the traditional restriction of holy communion to the baptized believers be sustained in a world of more permeable identities and practices? Can participation in worship and community be entirely "virtual"? What does "membership" mean in an age of ephemeral, if significant, affiliations?
From the vantage point of a parish in a young, geographically and philosophically mobile community, Craig Mueller asks what it means to invite people into church membership. The idea of church membership itself being developed in and suited to a very different milieu, Mueller wonders: "Is it possible to be a public church that welcomes people at whatever level of commitment they find themselves, while encouraging others to become more involved in the life and mission of the community?" To do both well and faithfully will be a challenge for more and more religious communities as affiliations with organized religion continue to loosen.
Finally Tim Brown addresses the rising question of whether community participation can become largely, or even fully, virtual and electronic. "Even Facetime or Skype aren't like sitting in the same room," Brown cautions, "where you both have to pause as the same siren goes past, smell the same stale air blow through a bad ventilation system, or negotiate a small shared table." Modern communication methods, stunning as they are, introduce one kind of distance while diminishing others.
Each of these articles is offered to encourage your own thoughts and discernment on how Christian community is discerned, formed, and experienced. How do you invite people to share in holy communion? How do you communicate with people on the fringes of the church, or outside of it entirely? How do virtual and real presence interact in your experience? Drop us a line and continue the conversation!

Schwarzkopf has been the go to brand for hair styling professionals for years. With the long and vibrant history of professional product offerings, Schwarzkopf took the leap into a consumer line that was to be made available at the largest brink and mortar retailers in the country. In anticipation for the product launch, it was extremely important to not only promote the products, but to show customers how to use them at home and without the assistance of a professional. With this initiative properly dubbed Project Focus, 2 dozen product videos were the way we were going to reach the consumers.
Working hand in hand with the marketing team at Schwarzkopf I developed and designed a studio layout that fit their brand but put the primary focus on the products themselves. I enlisted the services of Michael Vincent Academy to utilize their studio as well as their student make up artists to tackle this massive 3 day shoot. Being the director and lead camera operator it was important to have the right team and equipment in place all the way from the models to the video team. Having written all of the scripts and set up the 3 different camera angles we were ready to shoot. With celebrity stylist Richard "Dicky" Collins as the centerpiece of the how-to videos it was a long but fulfilling 2 and a half day shoot for everyone. The work was far from finished as being the lead editor would prove that the work was far from over. Photography that I shot on site in-between takes served as support images for the overall campaign.

History of Old Crescent RFC
In the mid 1940s Rev JG Guinane SJ arrived to teach in Crescent College SJ Limerick. A charismatic individual with a whiff of excitement about him, he had been in action during the war as a Chaplain with the Royal Ulster Rifles. He was passionate about the game of rugby and probably Old Crescent Rugby Football Club owes its existence to "The Ginner" as he came to be called. Taking over rugby training he set about winning the Munster Schools Cup and succeeded in 1947.
He saw great potential in that winning team and persuaded them to stay and play together so in September of that year Old Crescent Rugby Football Club was founded and became a member club of the Munster Branch of the Irish Rugby Football Union. In 1952 the club was promoted to senior club member of the Branch and the Ginner's formidable negotiating skills were more than useful in the process. Father Guinane remained deeply involved with the club until his death.
The first President of the club was Ivan Harris, father of the legendary Richard Harris, movie and stage star. Richard started his adult rugby career with the club for a period after he finished at Crescent College (and appropriately Richard's big breakthrough as a film star was in 1963 playing the part of a rugby player in "This Sporting Life"). First club Captain was Paddy Berkery who in 1955 was capped as fullback for Ireland having moved to Dublin and joined Lansdowne.
Membership of the club was initially confined to past pupils of Crescent College but it soon became apparent that this limited the club's growth and membership has been open to all applicants for many years. Contact is maintained with the school (now the Crescent College Comprehensive SJ) where we are always willing to help promote rugby.
In the 1950/51 season, an interesting development occurred when the Club decided to field two more or less separate teams, one of which concentrated on playing in the Transfield Cup with the other seeking to play senior grade teams. The Transfield Cup was won in January 1951 and this followed a victory the previous week over the Old Belvedere senior side. With these promising results, the Club looked forward with confidence to the Munster Junior Cup campaign and duly reached the final only to be defeated 5-3 by Cork Constitution at the Mardyke.
The 1951/52 season was to be a most significant one. With the influx of a large number of highly talented players from the school, the playing strength of the club increased tremendously. Under the presidency of DG O'Donovan they quietly set their ambitions on attaining Senior status. Thanks to the dedicated diplomacy of Fr. Guinane and Jim Roche, this goal was achieved and at a Munster Branch meeting on 12 June 1952, Old Crescent RFC was granted Senior status along with Highfield RFC.
In its early years as a senior club the Club maintained the level of performance it had shown in the junior ranks. In 1952/53, the first as a senior club, the Club reached the semi final of the Munster Senior Cup and were defeated 6-3 by Garryowen. In 1954/55 the Club was honoured with its first senior interprovincial when Jim Roche was selected for Munster. That year the Club reached it's first Munster Senior Cup Final and were defeated 17-8 by a star studded UCC side.
As the years passed, a new group of players emerged to represent Old Crescent and they brought great honour to the Club both on and off the field. In 1961/62 under the captaincy of Billy Leahy, the Club again reached the Munster Senior Cup final and on this occasion they were defeated by a Bohemians side containing the legendary Mick English and Bill Mulcahy. In 1964 the Club was honoured when Paddy Lane was selected to play for Ireland against Wales.
Off the field Old Crescent was also evolving and growing. The increase in the playing membership dictated that the Club look for a new home. A fund raising drive was started which resulted in the purchase of new playing fields in Rathbane and the opening of a new clubhouse in 1968 by the then president of the IRFU, CP Crowley.
The move to Rathbane did not bring any improvement to the Club's playing fortunes but in 1976/77 the Club won it's first senior trophy when it captured the Limerick Charity Cup. In 1975 the Club purchased the school playing fields in Rosbrien from the Jesuit Community, and in the early 1980's it was decided to move permanently to Rosbrien. The grounds at Rathbane were sold to Limerick FC and in 1983 the new clubhouse in Rosbrien was opened.
Old Crescent continued to prosper in its new surroundings and made the breakthrough at national level in 1992 when the Club qualified for Division Two status of the All Ireland League by winning the Munster Senior League and defeating NIFC, Clontarf and Galwegians, in the all Ireland round robin competition. We consolidated our All Ireland status over the next three seasons and in 1995/96 under the captaincy of Diarmuid Reddan and the coaching team of Larry Greene, Jed O'Dwyer and John Hogan, we captured the AIL Division Two title going undefeated in the league campaign. We played two seasons in Division One but were relegated to Division Two in 1997/98 in dramatic circumstances at Tom Clifford Park against Young Munster.
We returned to Division One in 1999/2000 but on this occasion only lasted one season in the higher division. We have been competitive in the All Ireland League ever since, reaching the Division Two final in Lansdowne Road but were defeated by Dolphin. The Club reached the Munster Senior Cup Final again in January 2009 and despite putting on a superb display of attacking rugby were very unlucky to go down to strong Cork Constitution side.
At Junior level, our Third XV captained by Mike O'Mara and managed by Eugene O'Riordan won the All Ireland Junior Two Millennium Cup in 2001/02. The Club was again honoured when Mike Mullins was selected by Ireland in their games against Tonga and Samoa. More recently, Old Crescent was proud to see our former player Eoin Reddan make his way in the professional game.
Old Crescent RFC members have made a significant contribution to the Munster Branch and the IRFU. Rev Fr Guinane, Tom Hayes, Michael Wallace, Cyril Downes, and Ken Lyons have served as Presidents of the Munster Branch, and Jim Riordan and Michael Wallace have served as Treasurer of the Munster Branch. Rev Fr Guinane, Jim Roche, Cyril Downes, Michael Wallace, and Ken Lyons have served on the IRFU Committee. Ken Lyons is currently Chairman of the IRFU Commercial and Marketing Committee.
Old Crescent RFC is proud of its contribution to Limerick, Munster and Irish rugby, and the Club will continue to play an active role in the development and playing of Irish rugby football in the years ahead.

A clinically based review of patient and treatment characteristics in West Australian private orthodontic practices
Raymond Lam, Simone Mustac, Mithran Goonewardene
Oral Developmental and Behavioural Sciences
Objective: To describe patient and treatment characteristics in West Australian private orthodontic practices.
Methods: A quantitative retrospective cross-sectional study of patient records from private practices in Western Australia was conducted. Permission was sought to access clinical records of 100 most recently-treated patients at each participating practice. A sample of 3,200 patients (response rate 84%) was collected, representing approximately one-third of practices in Western Australia, and simple descriptive statistics were applied to assess patient and treatment characteristics.
Results: The majority of patients were female (58.5%), adolescent and had private health insurance (75.6%). The most common patient complaint was crowding (37.6%) and aesthetics (21.3%). Data analysis indicated that 31% of patients were self-referred and a similar proportion did not have a specific complaint. Adult females had a higher interest in aesthetic options.

On the Sunday, January 4, 2009 Coast To Coast AM With George Noory, Mitch Battros, a self-proclaimed "expert" on earth changes (Whatever that means.) and self-published author of the book "Solar Rain" stated the eruption of the Yellowstone Caldera would be 10,000 times that of the Mount St. Helens eruption.
the Yellowstone Caldera eruption occurred 640,000 years ago and produced 240 cubic miles (1,000 cubic km) of material.
Some quick math reveals 240 / 0.3 = 800 (1000 / 1.2 = 833). That's an error that is off by roughly a magnitude.
What's a magnitude between friends? Who cares about an error of a magnitude? It's like driving 8 miles over the speed limit and having the police officer giving you a ticket for driving 100 miles over the speed limit.
Mitch Battros said that Toba, an Indonesian volcano that erupted about 75,000 years ago, was about 10,000 times the size of Mount St. Helens.
Wrong again. It is estimated that Toba released about 2,800 cubic km of material. Again doing the arithmatic we have 2800 / 1.2 for about 2333 times the size of Mount St. Helens. Closer then before but still not even close to the 10,000 figure Mitch Battros gave on the show. And he knew he was going onto the show to talk about volcanos.
** Thought to be the largest volcanic eruption in the last 25 million years.
Ritter goes on to clarify that the primary distinction between a normal volcanic crater and a caldera is one of size with one mile (1.6 km) diameter being the dividing size.
In other words, a caldera is simply the remains of a supervolcano. What a crater is to a normal volcano, a caldera is to a super-volcano.
The cross-sections above show a stratovolcano during eruption and afterwards. The general profile of the volcano remains the same — steep sides with a distinct crater on top.
Because of the large size of the vacated space* in the magma chamber, the chamber collapses under the weight of the overlying rock. This causes an enlarge crater called a caldera to form. Often a lake will form within the caldera.
In the left image at very top of the page the Yellowstone caldera rim can be seen in the distance. The image is of the northeastern part of the Yellowstone Caldera with the Yellowstone River flowing through Hayden Valley in the interior of the caldera.
*Technically the chamber isn't really empty. The expelled materials causes the magma chamber to have less interior pressure. With the lower pressure, the chamber can no longer support the overlying rock load.

Mitch is never wrong. He is a student of the earth and knows more about it than anyone else.
He is a sensitive who studies the reactions of people to the earth and the earth to people.
You must read all his studies in great depth.
Mitch flunked Math001, back to grade school for him.
Not that I'm totally impressed, but this is more than I expected for when I stumpled upon a link on SU telling that the info is quite decent. Thanks.


As my husband and I looked at their final creations, we found coffee mug designs we had never seen before. They featured a piece of extra clay on the top of the handle for placing your thumb.
Talk about comfortable! I know it sounds weird, but it's true. I instantly wanted it and purchased one. Only one. That was a mistake because my favorite mug has become the favorite mug of everyone in my household!
That never happened because we found the same type of ergonomic mugs at the Arts Festival in our home town of Oklahoma City. They are organic-natural-stoneware pottery designed and created by Gretchyn. Read her sweet story and look at some of her creations. She creates several designs of mugs and if they are not displayed on her website, contact her.
Randy and I held several mugs, resting our thumbs on the handle. There were so many to choose from that we finally decided by choosing the colors we liked. I purchased enough mugs for everyone in my family to have their own, along with extras so I could give them as one-of-a-kind original works of art gifts.
I'm happy because my new favorite mug features a heart on the thumb rest!
Who knew a mug could be a big part of the experience of drinking something warm.

Autumn's a magical time of year for a wedding in the Pulpshed up at Glen Ewin Estate. I remember speaking to Hayley's Dad during the reception, who's obviously a pretty tough bloke, but was moved to tears on more than one occasion throughout the day ( which I respect immensely), and him telling me how happy he was that Hayley had found Grant to spend the rest of her life with. He could tell his daughter was in safe hands. From my time spent with them both, I think Grant's in safe hands too… They're a couple of top specimens, both inside and out.


Since the original RAVEN RV01 debuted in 2008, the RAVEN team at SilverStone has demonstrated many times how it can truly define or defy computer enthusiasts' expectations of what a performance PC is capable of in both form and function. For 2014, the Silverstone team had a new target, which was to exceed and reshape the small form factor landscape with yet another breakthrough case design. The result of this effort is a new line of case products from SilverStone called RAVEN Z. As the first model, this Raven RVZ01 is unlike any SilverStone small form factor cases before it. Utilizing a PCI-E riser and custom designed fans, this slim, 14-liter case is capable of housing some of the biggest consumer graphics cards on the market with superb air cooling performance and the ability to also support liquid cooling. Read on and let's see if the Silverstone Raven RVZ01 is what we have all been waiting for.
Gigabyte as a motherboard manufacturer has been very successful over the last decade, and the last few years have only served to solidify that. In fact, Gigabyte has taken things a step further with their more recent motherboard releases. Their design team has revamped the styling and improved the lineup with feature-rich variations. Giagbyte's popular UDX series motherboards are frequently one of the first considered motherboards on the market since the Z77 release. With Gigabyte's Haswell refresh, the Z97 chipset, they aim to continue that tradition. Today we are going to be looking at the Z97X-SLI motherboard. By the name, it appears Gigabyte has geared this motherboard towards SLI as its defining feature. However, there is more than meets the eye. At a glance, this board looks a little more simplified when compared to the UDX series board. Will it pack the same punch? We are going to put the Z97X-SLI to the test to see how it stacks up to Gigabyte's reputation.


Taking a mental time out each day could pay off big.
Recent studies have found that mindful meditation could reduce general pain and anxiety, curb migraines and even improve mental connections in people experiencing mild memory lapses.
It's worth the effort to squeeze a short meditation session into your schedule – especially if you're busy.
Meditation can have a significant impact on your health. You sleep better, feel calmer and are better able to tolerate pain. There is no downside!
Researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center found that as few as three 20-minute meditation exercises reduced anxiety and pain in healthy people with no previous meditation experience.
Participants with mild memory loss practiced meditation for eight weeks and experienced improved recall, researchers found. In a separate study, researchers found that eight weeks of meditation helped make migraines less severe and less frequent for participants.
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health studies have shown meditation practice may lower blood pressure and relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression and insomnia.

How Tech is Helping the Planning Approval System
Matt Ryan is UK Country Manager PlanRadar. In this feature, he writes about how digital technology is helping the planning approval system.
Whilst digital adoption has significantly enhanced and improved the construction journey over the last decade, one area that's remained behind the digital curve is the planning system. It's a sticking point that the UK Government is yet to solve – only recently it came under fire for new reforms aimed at relaxing published planning legislation to promote a 'housebuilding boom'
Arguably, it was also the catalyst for the Government-backed 2020 report 'Planning for the Future' which was published after years of intense political debate on how planning reform should look. The report outlined plans to move the planning process "into the 21st Century" and away from "notices on lampposts to an interactive and accessible map-based online system – placing planning at the fingertips of people".
Given the proper consideration, the emergence of "PlanTech" is helping to revolutionise this important part of the process. Digital tools such as apps and software that can collect, analyse and visualise information produced by local authorities now have the ability to revamp outdated processes. Greater Manchester's 'Open Data Infrastructure Map' is just one example of how it's possible to show key infrastructure across the entire region from one open and accessible location.
It's also helping to overcome the lack of open data and collaborative systems available between local governments and developers, which is hindering progress. For context, The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) found that in 2020, one in three housebuilders 'want the 'broken' planning system fixed to boost construction activity'. It also found that homes built by SME housebuildersz have plunged to just 12% of new builds.
Delays between different parties can have a significant impact on the rate at which an application is submitted and approved yet digital technology is finding a solution.
Emerging PlanTech is helping to streamline this process by compiling the trail of legal documents and Local Plans through CDE's (Common Data Environments), which allow for data, plans and models to be collated, shared and analysed from one central location by design project teams. The ability to assign action points to specific team members is also helping to pin-point where responsibilities lie within each organisation for less ambiguity. Importantly, it's helping to standardise the built environment language used throughout the process, which can be overly complex.
The PlanTech 'revolution' also represents a big tick in terms of compliance – an area that's seeing more focus and attention in line with changing legislation. Digital technology is providing a record of actions and minimising complications by creating visual representations in the early design phase. Importantly, it creates a digital timeline that proves proper due diligence has been given to occupant safety even at the initial planning stages whilst providing a record of the entire decision-making process. It's another piece of the 'Golden Thread' of a building's lifecycle and likely to be enshrined in law as part of the final Building Safety Bill.
Private sector: The system overhaul
One of the main enablers behind these changes is the private sector, which is offering the speed, vision and dynamism to launch the platforms needed to reenergise outdated systems. This versatility is helping to mobilise investment in innovation far more efficiently than through public channels.
That isn't to say that local authorities aren't already adopting digital methods – the public sector has done great work in setting the stage for the private sector to build on its efforts.
Government backed mandates such as the use of BIM in construction have boosted digital progress in a short amount of time. Yet as it stands, a resourcing and skills gap amongst local authorities may mean that digital transformations are unlikely to happen overnight. But the right steps are being made, at the start of June 2021 we saw the Housing Minister announce a £1.1 million fund to test the use of digital tools and data standards across 10 local areas.
The situation, however, has allowed the private sector to pick up the torch of driving research and development into PlanTech at a rapid rate, and it's becoming an attractive investment opportunity for many. This, in turn, is making the public sector's ears twitch.
The here and now
Currently, there's a myriad of tech available for housebuilders to use that can help provide further support throughout the planning process. Some of the most exciting (and useful) tools are those that create 360-degree, photo-realistic 3D models, allowing for a deeper understanding of the potential impact of development before a spade hits the ground.
There are also certain digital applications that require little or no hardware investment that allow different parties to communicate and collaborate using architects' drawings or BIM models. All of this communication and planning information is automatically digitally stored, giving a full audit trail of the decision-making process. Having consistent, machine-readable data will also be instrumental in streamlining the planning process in the future, allowing housebuilders to learn from previous policy decisions.
However, it's not always necessary to look for the next new thing. Government and public sector funded organisations should be exploring digital technology that's already in use elsewhere within different environments and focus on how it can be used to transform our regressive planning system. For example, the implementation of digital documentation procedures can ease the admin burden on staff, improving the rate at which planning is secured.
What's more, with the industry experiencing a reduction in staff levels post-Covid, this approach can help the efficiency at which local authorities work. In an era where housing and the housing crisis remains one of our biggest issues, solutions that can help create much needed homes should be received with open arms.

Congress paralysed without Sonia (PO)
When Prime Minister Manmohan Singh landed in Dhaka on September 7, his retinue did not include the most important member, Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee of West Bengal (now renamed Paschim Banga). Till the final two hours, efforts had been ongoing to get her to join the group, and to drop her objection to the PM signing the Teesta River Accord with his Bangladesh counterpart, Sheikh Hasina Wajed. These failed, and the outcome was a huge loss of face for Dr Manmohan Singh personally, who was shown to command zero political influence with Ms Banerjee, despite the high post that he holds. Clearly, it had been a mistake to deal with Ms Banerjee through bureaucrats, competent though these might have been. Just as the British colonialists looked upon Indian members of the civil service with contempt, so too do politicians regard officials. Each day, all too many of the latter crawl at the feet of the former, either to get a prize posting or to avoid being shifted from one. It was therefore no surprise that the senior civil servants who had been dispatched failed to persuade the West Bengal Chief Minister to accept the Accord.
This columnist has repeatedly pointed out that all the talk about Sonia Gandhi or Manmohan Singh (the two Congress leaders most eager for an agreement with Pakistan) being "on the verge" of signing a deal on Kashmir is just that. Talk. Even in the case of the once-powerful CEO of Pakistan, it is doubtful that the Corps Commanders of the Army would have allowed Pervez Musharraf to accept a solution for Kashmir that did not call for the gaining of territory (despite news reports during both the Vajpayee and Singh periods that such a dea was "in the final stages of drafting").
In the case of India, there is zero chance of a political consensus for any agreement except that favoured by Indian negotiators at Shimla in 1971, which is the legalisation of the status quo. Because they forgot the need to build a political consensus, the Prime Minister's team severely compromised his image and standing, in the process harming that of India as well. However, they cannot be blamed, as it is not the job of the PMO to be concerned with politics. In the United Progressive Alliance government, it is Sonia Gandhi's responsibility to look after the political side, and Manmohan Singh's to pay attention to the administrative details. The absence of the Congress President for six weeks (and counting) has affected cohesion in decision-making, in that these days, the political component is missing from government decisions. As a consequence, actions that are deeply unpopular are getting carried out, such as the arrest and incarceration of the 73-year old saint, Anna Hazare. But where is Sonia Gandhi? The "independent" media in India as well as the even more "free" foreign media has thus far not said more than a few sentences about the person who owns the ruling party. In an age of instant communication, it is noteworthy that there seems to be zero difference between India and North Korea where it comes to the health of the top leader, except that in the North Korean case, there are occasional photographs of the Dear Leader. In the case of Sonia Gandhi, after she disappeared from sight soon after a visit to Bangladesh two months ago, there has been no photograph of hers, nor even a statement, whether oral or in writing.
All that the public have to satisfy their curiosity is the assurance of Congress Party spokespersons that she is well, and will be back soon. Indeed, every week there have been reports of Sonia's imminent return. Over the past two days, there has been a crescendo of reports that the Congress President is coming back "this night". By the time this column gets printed, maybe she would have come back. But the chances are that she will still be elusive, for reasons difficult to fathom.
What to make of the contempt for the public's Right to Know that has been evidenced by those who have made such a secret of Sonia Gandhi's health? And that too in an administration that calls the Right to Information act (indeed a useful - if incomplete - example of legislation) its centrepiece. Fear of having the Income-tax department or any other of the sundry agencies of government on their tale has killed the curiosity of those controlling the media in India. However, the very absence of news has led to an unintended consequence, which is that the public in India now seem unbothered by Sonia's absence. There is no effect at all in the public mood, which would otherwise have been expected to overflow with sympathy for a leader clearly unwell. Of course, this lack of emotion may also be because of the numerous statements by Congress functionaries that she is "recovering fast". Should this not be the case, and should her illness be more grave, the consequences for the Congress Party would be momentous, for the reason that she is the only - repeat only – source of power within the party. As yet, her son and heir Rahul Gandhi does not seem to have built up the gravitas needed to become acceptable as the Supremo of the Congress Party, in the place of his mother.
It is no surprise that Sonia Gandhi is the single fount of authority in her party. This has always been the case with the Nehrus. Even in the case of the individual whom prominent writers such as Shashi Tharoor and Sunil Khilnani claim "brought democracy to India", Jawaharlal Nehru, several highly consequential decisions were taken because of personal predilection and without any consultation with other leaders. Nehru forged the country's "non-aligned" policy, he introduced a socialist system of economy and retained the entire panoply of British-era laws and procedures without even the pretence of consultation. And yet Nehru is considered to be the exemplar of democracy! After 65 years of rule by Nehruvians, the country is several times more backward than several economies that in 1947 were even poorer than India was at the time. This columnist has just come back from a trip, and has undergone hours of torment on roads that mimic moon craters. He is writing out this column by battery power, as the electricity has (once again) ceased to flow. Since morning, there has been no water. Such is the quality of life in Nehru-style democracy, where only the leader has freedom, with the others having only the "right to follow" the leader. The drawback of such a system is that it gets paralysed when the leader is absent, as is the case with the disappearance from public view of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi. Small wonder that the Congress Party is praying that Sonia will come back and soon, so that they may follow once again rather than be forced into the intolerable situation of being on their own.

Roger used to be an ordinary hunter with a humble heart. He was so kind that he never hunted any creature needlessly. But then, a monstrous wolf named White Tooth appeared in the Dark Forest. Roger couldn't turn a blind eye to White Tooth and his evil pack because they gruesomely devoured countless innocent people. And so, while White Tooth was attacking a little girl in the forest, Roger saved the day by slicing the evil wolf in half. It was all over. Everything ended happily. At least, that was what everyone thought back then.
White Tooth was actually cursed by a powerful evil entity. The very moment Roger killed him, the curse transferred to his body. As a result, whenever the moon is full, Roger inevitably transforms into a werewolf. From that day onward, life was never the same for Roger.
This guide not only lists all of Roger's skills and abilities, it also expands on each one of them and details some tips on how to use them effectively. Considering that, the rest is up to you now. March forward to the battlefield and slaughter everyone in cold blood as the Dire Wolf Hunter, Roger!
Is Roger one of your favorite heroes in Mobile Legends?
With the curse of the full moon, Roger manifests different abilities depending on his form. In human form, he gains range, and his basic attack reduces enemy movement speed by 20%. In wolf form, he becomes a melee fighter, and his basic attack deals extra damage equal to 5% of the enemy's lost HP. Note that the extra damage dealt by Roger's wolf form can only add up to 60 points against jungle monsters.
Since Roger's different forms provide him with various benefits, it is best to shift forms depending on the situation. For defensive play and early-game laning, Roger's human form is the most suitable form to use due to its range and its 'slow' debuff. For chasing enemy heroes and jungling, Roger's wolf form is the most suitable form to use due the extra power it offers and its hero-killing potential.
With Open Fire, Roger shoots twice, dealing 300 [+120% Total Physical Attack] physical damage in total. The first shot releases a trap net that slows down the first enemy it hits, while the second shot penetrates the armor of the enemy by 10 points.
Open Fire is a great harassing skill. It not only reduces the movement speed of an enemy, it also deals considerable damage. However, it can be quite difficult to target this skill. It only affects the first target it hits, so be sure to aim it properly to harness its full effect. If you can get close to your target before you activate this skill, then you're all set! Shooting at point-blank range is the most effective way to ensure that this skill hits.
With Lycan Pounce, Roger jumps towards an area and attacks up to 3 enemy heroes indiscriminately, dealing 300 [+120% Total Physical Attack] physical damage and becoming virtually invincible during the duration of the attack. Making a kill or an assist reduces the cooldown of this skill by 80%.
Lycan Pounce is Roger's most damaging skill. It is easy to aim, and it can even hit multiple targets. The best thing about this skill is that it gives Roger temporary invincibility throughout its effect duration.
Lycan Pounce is mostly used to chase and kill. As its range is fairly reasonable, always use this skill to go for the kill. Note that by snagging a kill or an assist with this skill, its cooldown decreases by a considerable amount. This means that you can go on a rampage as long as you can, granted that you can ensure that you can take part in all the deaths of your enemies.
With the agility of a hunter, Roger can increase his movement speed by 50% for 2.5 seconds at will.
Hunter's Steps can be used for either chasing or escaping. After all, its primary use is to increase overall mobility. Since its cooldown and mana consumption are very low, it can be used almost every time to get a semi-permanent boost in movement speed as long as Roger remains in his human form.
Roger lets out a loud howl, increasing his attack speed by 15% for 4 seconds. If there's an enemy hero with less than 40% HP in the nearby vicinity around him, Roger gains an increase of 50% in movement speed. The duration of the effect of this skill increases as Roger deals damage on the enemies.
Bloodthirsty Howl is a must-use skill for the times you're trying to go for the kill. Not only will Roger's attack speed increase significantly, his movement speed will also rise if any enemy hero's HP drops below 40%. Ultimately, this skill is meant for chasing. If there are enemy heroes nearby whose HP meters are below 40%, then they're good as dead with Roger mercilessly hunting them down in the same area.
Allowing the curse of the full moon to manifest, Roger leaps forward, dealing 200 [+100% Total Physical Attack] physical damage to the enemies and reducing their movement speed by 90% for 1.5 seconds. In the process, Roger transforms into a wolf, gaining an increase of 25 points in armor, magic resistance, and movement speed.
Wolf Transformation is all about offense! When you're ready to pounce on your enemies and snuff the life out of them, use this skill to considerably raise your damage capacity, as well as deal some significant initial damage and a major reduction in movement speed for the enemies. The increase in armor, magic resistance, and movement speed also helps in surviving team clashes and serious bouts with the enemies.
Lifting the curse of the full moon, Roger rolls towards a specified direction, generating a shield that can absorb 200 [+200% Total Physical Attack] damage for 1.5 seconds.
Restore Human Form has the power to save Roger whenever he's in a pinch. As this skill generates a shield for him, it should be used whenever he is in grave danger. This is quite a useful escape skill. It allows some extra maneuverability and works really well with Open Fire and Hunter's Footsteps. One good strategy to employ for a successful escape is to use this skill, then follow up with a Open Fire to slow down any pursuer, and finally use Hunter's Footsteps to run away to safety.
Which of Roger's skills is your favorite?

Too much poorly assigned homework may impact negatively on any student. If a teacher neglects to consider commitments and time frames of the students, homework may become something to hate, dread and ultimately something to simply avoid.
If a primary age child (in Australia, this is a child in the 5 -11 age group) is given too much "overnight" homework, the child may be crushed emotionally. This could be a young child's first taste of stress worrying about understanding the topic, completing it on time and completing it effectively.
Overnight homework should be allocated sparingly. If the child is in a club or sporting group, requiring participation after school, the added stress can be enormous. Poor parents driving their children around to satisfy outside commitments, may also be caught up in the stress of overnight homework. Somewhere, they need to find time to supervise homework. There is just too much demand on commitment and duty for the whole family where this kind of homework is concerned. And a child still needs time to be a child with some freedom to choose to play.
Overnight homework, for a primary child, should be restricted to "a little" practice of the essentials Maths, English and clear writing skills. This practice should simply be a relevant extension of the day's work, not an addition for the sake of setting homework.
Longer homework, such as a project on dinosaurs, should be given a longer time frame for completion at least a week so that outside school commitments can be factored into the timetable. In that time, some of this work should be done in class time, so that the teacher may monitor the understanding, direction and progress of each student. This will minimize failure and avoid an emotional sense of incompetence which may carry over to future projects.
High school aged children (from 12-18) need separate consideration. Students, 12-14 year olds, should have some homework. As a high school teacher, if work is required, I always give a warning ahead of time and ask students to inform me of any commitments or problems that may affect their submissions. Alternative times are negotiated where needed. Assessment tasks are a special case. Students are given a plan, each term, when these more formal tasks are due with specific dates. Planning, in this way, allows students to arrange their time responsibly. This is an important skill for later life when more adult time management may be required.
In this high school age group, when hormones are awry and emotions high, it may only take a little poorly allocated homework to push this age group into unhealthy depressions and low self-esteem modes. This MUST be avoided at all costs. Students must feel they are part of their learning; and that includes the setting of homework. Negotiation is valuable to all concerned, including parents. Parents have the opportunity to alert the teacher to problems prior to the due date. This may be done via a note, in the student's diary, to the particular teacher concerned. There is always a way to keep everyone happy AND get the work done!
Finally, there are the senior students, under pressure to perform academically. These students need a special form of homework.
The following comments particularly apply to English studies, but could be adapted to other subject areas. If they are less able students, I follow the pattern for setting homework as per the juniors. However, the high flyers are given direction only how to organise their home study and how to develop their own notes on topics studied; this includes brainstorming headings in class that require detailed notes. What is happening is the students are setting their own homework levels! They create their homework and work out when and how it is done! I know whether this homework is completed effectively by the level of participation in class discussions. I invite the students to show me their notes, recommending ways of setting them out for formal assessment study. To understand topics more effectively and offer viewpoints or even ask questions, students need to be responsible for their own notes.
Senior students are those most likely to suffer high stress levels from poorly allocated homework. Once they feel they are behind, then all manner of anti-social behaviour patterns may develop. The need to learn evaporates, and the student is in trouble. However, if the student is given the reins in the homework department, then many of these problems are minimized. It is far easier to monitor how the student is coping and deal with problems immediately, before they are out of hand.
In conclusion, homework can be a weapon or a comfy security blanket. The difference lies in the thoughtfulness, by the teacher, in planning how and when the homework is allocated.
