Understanding the Student Experience: Part Three
Staying true to its promise to Design for People, BHDP Architecture frequently engages with students on campuses across the country to gain a deeper understanding of their experiences, which span a range of academic, social, and recreational pursuits. This spring, fueled by higher education institutions' responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, BHDP Client Leaders initiated a series of virtual focus group discussions with a cross-section of students to understand how these mandated online learning policies and campus closures have impacted the students' current experiences. In addition, these conversations are also uncovering how this pandemic will likely shape their behaviors and expectations in the near future when they are permitted to return to campus.
This blog is the third and final blog in a three-part series of observations and key learnings that have been distilled from these virtual focus groups. A more comprehensive summary was shared in BHDP's Trends + Tensions podcast series this May, and an article that features the various implications that were generated from this qualitative research will be published in early summer.
Students expect that changes will be made to high-traffic areas, like this space in the Shawnee State University Health Sciences/STEMM Facility.
Our fourth and final virtual focus group contained no shortage of new ideas. We spoke to six students: Ben, Davis, Irene, Melanie, Morgan, and Shannon. When we talked with these students, they were approaching the end of their semester and preparing for final exams. Because of this, they had time to adjust and collect their thoughts before speaking with us, so their perspectives are logical and well-thought-out. This is what we found:
Changes are affecting everyone—from first-year students to graduating seniors.
Students—of all ages—have been affected. For some, online classes are simply tough. Davis, a first-year student at The Ohio State University, explained that his "biggest issue with online classes is being able to focus. At home, I feel like a high school senior." He went on to say one of his hardest classes only has video notes, which are not a practical way for him to learn new material while distance learning.
Students say live presentations, like this one at Saint Anselm College Roger & Francine Jean Student Center Complex, are important. Saint Anselm College Roger & Francine Jean Student Center Complex
Distance learning, coupled with being at home, is "isolating and boring" for Morgan, an incoming student at Shawnee State University (SSU). Discussion-based classes have become difficult since the shift online, and Morgan values the ability to ask questions as soon as they arise.
For students eager to finish their last semester of college strong, postponed graduation ceremonies dampened their spirits. Ben, a senior at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), expressed, "As seniors, we didn't get the 'victory lap' that we all wanted." In lieu of their traditional commencement ceremonies, CWRU held a virtual commencement celebration.
For Shannon, a graduating senior at Central Washington University, "the transition has been weird." She remarked that "The challenge of getting into the professional world as a graduating senior has changed 100 percent. Normally, every quarter we have networking opportunities which lead to jobs." Without these networking opportunities, making professional connections can be more difficult. Finding a way to host these virtually would be beneficial in preparing students for their post-grad careers.
Students predict upcoming changes, but they also expect challenges.
When asked about predictions for their future campuses, students were torn. Irene, a first-year student at the University of Cincinnati (UC), said, "UC is an urban campus. It's really tight, and most of the time, every table is filled. I don't know how UC is going to do it." As I am writing this, UC has just announced a tentative plan for workers returning to campus, but students, who are set to begin the semester on August 24, were not mentioned.
Morgan expressed a similar problem at SSU: "As far as distancing is concerned, it's hard to tell what will happen. People are already on top of each other in the den." The "den" refers to The Bear's Den, a dining hall on campus.
Shannon expects "More classes will likely be available online. With libraries, I hope there are long-lasting changes with practices for cleanliness, but it's really hard to tell." Melanie discussed cleaning practices, as well. "I work in the library on campus. We wipe down the keyboards regularly, but sometimes not the doorknobs. I think we are really going to be more focused on cleanliness." Whether it's new cleaning procedures, social distancing guidelines, or distance learning initiatives, these students are expecting modifications that affect their daily routines on campus.
Students have insight on how to improve distance learning and future campus experiences.
When asked how the physical campus could improve, students offered many ideas. Melanie said, "Something I think we would all appreciate is having more outdoor seating, which would be cleaner than being inside on couches."
Outdoor seating, like this gathering area with a fire pit at Lycoming College Krapf Gateway Center, may need to increase to accommodate social distancing. Lycoming College Krapf Gateway Center
Shannon said that a live lecture is important, and "we would benefit from hybrid courses which can be watched online from home. It would be a good alternative." Morgan re-emphasized how important lectures are: "I wish they had recorded lectures. There's a struggle with not being able to ask questions on the spot, and there's no one to elaborate."
Ben offered a slightly different perspective: "I think we're realizing that not all meetings are needed to be there physically." Several students in our previous focus groups mentioned this, as well. There seems to be a division between courses that benefit from the simplicity of distance learning and the courses that require hands-on learning and collaboration to truly be effective. Some solutions must be tailored to the courses and their requirements. Ben continued, "I can see a positive coming out of this, and there's a lot we can learn."
There is still so much we can learn, and that is why we are working tirelessly to speak to students so we can inform better predictions for the future. We thank all the students who participated in our virtual focus groups throughout April, but our work is not done. If you know of a college student who has a voice that should be heard, please contact Tom Sens ([email protected]). We'd love for them to take a short survey documenting their experience over the past couple of months.
Check out part one, part two, and part three for more student experiences and insights on the effects COVID-19 is having on the future of higher education.

Most field studies on the relation between growth (and yield) and temperature are based on meteorological data collected in the vicinity of the crop or ecological area under examination. Although these data have proved to be of considerable value in assessing the response of plants to temperature, actual plant temperatures can differ considerably from air temperature and temperatures can also vary from organ to organ within a plant.
Plant temperatures will be influenced by plant form (erect or prostrate), leaf area, aspect (e.g. north- or south-facing slope), irradiance (sun angle, cloud cover and altitude) and air flow (wind). There are also plant characteristics such as reflection from the surface of the leaf, leaf angle and leaf cooling by transpiration which will reduce plant temperature and may minimise the damage associated with above-optimal air temperatures. At the other end of the scale, where there is moisture on leaves, the latent heat produced during external ice formation (a white frost) may provide some initial protection of tissues against frost damage.
Leaf temperatures generally follow the diurnal changes in air temperatures (Fig. 14.4). At sunrise with a clear sky there is a rapid rise in air temperature and leaf temperature, with a slower and lower rise in root and surface soil temperature. This relationship is altered considerably by cloud cover and at night root temperatures will be higher than leaf temperatures. Organ volume (thickness) can also have a marked influence on temperature and this can be seen, for example, in the apple-growing regions around Auckland in New Zealand. On a windless sunny day with an air temperature of 26°C, while leaf temperature in an apple orchard may reach 29°C, the peripheral flesh of the fruit on the sunny side of a tree can reach 45°C.
Figure 14.4. Plant temperatures generally follow the diurnal pattern of air temperatures, but may be higher (sometimes 10°C or more) due to strong irradiance from full sunlight, or cooler (often by 2-3°C) due to transpirational cooling. Tissues and organs of a plant are not necessarily at a uniform temperature. Root temperatures are generally lower than those of leaves during daytime and higher at night-time, reflecting the differences between air and soil temperatures. Based on Davidson (1969) Ann Bot 33, 561-569.
Under normal field conditions mean day temperatures can commonly be 5°C to 10°C higher than mean night temperatures, with a much greater amplitude between maximum and minimum temperatures. The importance of this day/night differential has received considerable attention in relation to the growth and yield of glasshouse crops where there is the possibility of some degree of temperature control. However, it is also of interest in field crops in relation to the development of models for use in predicting the effect of weather conditions on crop development.
Total plant growth would be favoured by low night temperatures as this would reduce respiratory losses at a time when the supply of carbohydrate might become limiting. However, dry matter production for a wide range of crops grown under constant but optimal temperature is equal to and often greater than dry matter production by the same crops grown under differential day/night temperatures with the same mean value. Where a day/night temperature differential is imposed, low night temperatures rather than low day temperatures favour growth. The amplitude of the day/night temperature differential is also important and increasing this from 10°C to 20°C can reduce growth.

What to Do in Bath, England
Bath manages to combine the elements a big city with the feeling of a small town. This UNESCO World Heritage Site city is just a 90-minute train ride from London and a weekend is just long enough to fall in love with this historic city. Today I am covering what to do in Bath, England.
We loved Bath for so many reasons – it's clean, it's beautiful, there is lots to do – but the number one reason is the people. It would be impossible to exaggerate how kind the people of Bath are. They are honestly some of the friendliest people that I have ever met. The bartender at one cocktail bar was practically jumping up and down with excitement, we had a great chat with a security guard, and the manager of the hotel we stayed at came out to introduce himself before we were shown to our room.
Bath gained fame for a couple different reasons. The first is the ancient Roman Bath in the center of the city. The fact that Jane Austen called Bath home for a couple of years is a source of great pride. Plus, Bath has remarkable Gothic and Georgian architecture.
Bath became a popular getaway for well-to-do Brits in the 1700s and it remains a popular tourist destination today. In the 1700s and 1800s members of the British aristocracy would travel to Bath to take in the waters at the bath which were believed to have the ability to cure various ailments. Bath also had a social season filled with activities, this is something Austen depicted in her literary works. Historically, Bath was a place where the wealthy would socialize and search for a spouse.

Charles and I loved this tour. Bath Abbey is a large Gothic-style abbey in the center of downtown Bath. You do want to book the tour in advance because it does sell out. We went to the Abbey at 1pm and pre-booked our tickets for the 3:30 tour and got some of the last available tickets for that day.
The hour long tour took us up to the roof and the top of the tower providing us with views of the city and the green tree covered hills that surround the city. Along the way we got to learn about how the bells are rung, which was surprisingly fasincating. We were even up in the bell tower when the bells rung, which was slightly loud but very cool.
I do want to let you know that the tour involved walking through narrow spaces and walking up 220 small narrow stairs. The climb was broken up into three sections which made it easy to accomplish. But choose your shoes wisely.
Even if you can't get tickets for the tower tour, you can walk into the Abbey. It's a stunning example of Gothic architecture.
When you think of England you probably don't think about Roman Ruins, but Bath is home to a Roman Bath that dates back to the first century A.D. and it is in remarkable condition.
You definitely want to go first thing in the morning before the bus tours and school trips arrive. We made it to the baths at 9:30 and there was no line to buy tickets (mid-day the line spills out into the square) and it wasn't crowded at all. When we left at 10:20, the place was starting to fill up. And just to be clear, this bath is a historical site and museum, you can't bathe in these waters.
Full disclosure, Charles left Bath at 11 on Sunday, and I stayed behind to do some more exploring. Men probably wouldn't love the Jane Austen Centre or the Fashion Museum. But – they probably wouldn't mind grabbing a pint at a pub while you visit some pretty girly spots.
Overall, the museum is a little cheesy. It's housed in a building down the street from a home where the Austen family lived briefly, but Jane has no specific connection to the building were the museum is located.
The visitors' experience combines a guided tour by a costumed guide, a self guided tour, a couple interactive activities (like dressing up in Regency fashion), and a couple videos. The Jane Austen Center is a place to get a glimpse into Jane Austen's life and to learn about her family and literary works. Not much is known about Jane Austen's personal life since the majority of her personal letters were destroyed.
True Jane Austen fans will get a kick out of the experience of visiting the center, but I wouldn't say it is one of the best things to do in Bath. And I wouldn't say to make the trip to Bath just to visit the Jane Austen Centre – unless you want to go during the elaborate 10-day Jane Austen festival.
You could opt to simply have tea in the Regency Tea Room (this was mentioned heavy handedly throughout the videos on the tour).
The Fashion Museum is a very short walk from the Jane Austen Center and the two sites pair well together. You can see the museum's collections in under two hours, and you will learn the history of fashion from the 1700s through present day. The fact the surprised me the most is that up until the 1800s shoes were made to go on either foot – having left and right shoes didn't exist before then!
When I visited there was a special exhibition of Royal Fashion that displayed dresses worn by members of the royal family including the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret. This was wonderful, and each dress was displayed with information on who wore it and where they wore it.
This spa is just beside the Roman Baths, and they offer spa treatments and they have a rooftop pool. On weekdays they offer a twilight experience.
We stayed at this hotel which had an incredible spa. Hotel guests get access to the baths, which use the same waters as the Roman Baths. The spa has several pools at different temperatures with massaging elements, plus a steam room, and two different saunas. If you aren't a hotel guest, you can gain access to the spa and baths by booking a spa treatment.
Bath has a mix of locally owned shops and major retailors. British brands well represented and you can find brands including Jigsaw, Whistles, Molton Brown, Reiss, LK Bennett, and Jo Malone.
Bath is filled with wonderful examples of Georgian Architecture, the best places to go are the Royal Crescent, Lansdown Crescent, Gay Street, and Milsom Street.
The Pulteney Bridge is a can't miss architectural landmark that is right downtown.
Downtown Bath is small and walkable. I recommend wandering and exploring, the small city is so pretty.
The old Green Park Station is home to a monthly antiques and vintage market. The old train Victorian train station is beautiful, and it is a fun venue for a market. A variety of furniture, collectables, vintage clothing, and homeware are sold at the market. Check the website for the market schedule before you go. There are also a few restaurants at the station.
There are several places in Bath that serve Afternoon Tea, but The Pump Room is the place that Jane Austen mentioned in both Northanger Abbey and Persuasion.
You might want to make a reservation in advance – the space is gorgeous and the tea and all of the food was delicious. The restaurant is attached to the Roman Baths, so you might want to combine this with a tour of the baths.
We were incredibly impressed with our meal at this fine dining restaurant. Our two course dinner was included when we booked our hotel room, and this has to be one of the best restaurants in Bath. We had tomato soup and then I had stuffed squash blossoms that had a slightly spicy curry sauce. The food is trendsetting and creative and the space is welcoming and not stuffy. I have a tendency to be skeptical when it comes to hotel restaurants, but this one is exceptional.
Breakfast was also included in our hotel stay (a perk of booking with Amex Platinum's booking platform) and we were treated to a small feast! We had Full English Breakfasts and also go to enjoy fruit and pastries from the buffet – plus some delightful British cheeses.
This restaurant has four levels plus a rooftop. The massive restaurant is divided into different spaces with distinct menus, so you can for snacks and drinks or a full dinner.
The rooftop has nice views of the city and it a great spot to enjoy a warm sunny day. I should say that the weather was absolutely perfect when we visited in mid-July.
It is unfair to call the Canary Gin Bar just a bar because it is much more than that. There is a distillery below the bar – it is Bath's first gin distillery in 205 years! They offer tours and gin making workshops. You can also buy Bath Gin at their shop.
We loved the social atmosphere at this bar – and the huge selection of gins including the seasonal flavored gins produced in house. I sipped on a Rhubarb Gin and Tonic which was delicious followed by a Red Berry Gin and Tonic. The most interesting drink I tried was a Grapefruit and Black Pepper Gin and Tonic. They serve two sizes of cocktails, and I decided to order the small size so that I could try more flavors.
This cocktail bar is tucked away in a basement and it spans several rooms. The cocktails were wonderful, and the place had an atmosphere perfect for a date. It is very popular, so I recommend making a reservation.
A cocktail bar with the friendliest bartender in the world – I have never seen someone so excited to mix up a drink for me. While the Dark Horse is quiet and dark, The Hideout has a small outdoor patio and you aren't expected to have a reservation.
A little pub and a local hangout. We popped in to catch a bit of a World Cup match. This is a place to grab a pint while you decide where to go next.
This is the oldest pub in Bath opened in 1713. Go here to grab a pint and maybe a pub meal.
I cannot recommend spending a night in Bath strongly enough. It is a very easy getaway from London and Bath's slower pace, kind people, and wide variety of sites will make for a fun and relaxing trip. And I should mention that Bath is more affordable than London.

Thanksgiving Table Setting with Fresh Fruit


First, my favorite athlete, Chipper Jones. A few bobbles (including one depicting him rescuing Freddie Freeman during one of Atlanta's ice storms), a commemorative cup, and a small McFarlane figure. When I lived in Phoenix, one of my teammates (triathlon) was McFarlane's warehouse manager and she scored me this mini figure.
Next, Bobbi Cox! A few bobbles and a commemorative cup acknowledging his induction into the Hall of Fame. The autographed ball was signed in person at the Brave's annual Alumni Weekend in 2014 and includes additional autographs by Damien Moss, Jesse Garcia, Paul Byrd, Charlie O'Brien, Alejandro Pena, Brad Clontz, Leo Mazzone, and Paul Assenmacher.
Tom Glavine! Bobblehead and soda cup commemorating his induction into the HOF. The autographed ball was signed in person during the 2015 Alumni weekend and also includes autographs by Andruw Jones, Brian Jordan, Greg McMichael, Jim Nash, Darrell May, Todd Pratt, Pedro Borbon, Randy Johnson (not THAT one), Pete Smith, Charlier Liebrandt, Jay Howell, Marvin Freeman, Terry Harper, Marty Clary, and Brian Kowitz.
A. J. Pierzinsky for Zombie Night 2016 and a wooden mini bat for Zombie Night 2015; John Scheurholtz and Jason Grilli for Star Wars nights 2016 and 2015, respectively. Speaking of Pierzinsky, the autographed ball was signed by him in person for Braves Caravan Event for Season Ticket Holders. Other autographs on the ball include Mike Minor, Joey Terdoslavich, Jason Hursh, Fredi Gonzalez (manager at the time), and Don Sutton (radio broadcaster).
More Freddie Freeman: souvenir cup and bobbleheads, one having him hug Johnny Gomes. The ball is a batting practice home run ball he hit back in 2014.
A couple more infielders, Andrelton Simmons (commemorating his getting one of this Gold Gloves) and Dan Uggla.
A couple catchers, EvanGattis and Javy Lopez.
Dale Murphy: bobblehead and autrgraphed ball from the Alumni Weekend 2016. Other autographs on the ball include Mike Bell, Sid Bream, Greg Olson, and Pete Smith.
A couple older bobbles; I got these from a coworker in Atlanta whose son worked at Turner Field one day and got these: Eddie Matthews and Warren Spahn.
A few remaining miscellanous Braves bobbles: David Justice, Skip Caray and Pete Van Wieren (when you push a button it plays one of their famous calls), and Julio Tehran.
Remember, these are ALL stadium giveaways!
Lastly (for this post), a few Season Ticket Holder only items.

First, the Philadelphia Phillies. The scorecard is my own; this was one of the first trips and hadn't started adopting the stadium's own scorecards. The Curt Schilling lithograph was the official giveaway. Also soda cup and ice cream helmet. Need to return for an official scorecard, beer cup, and Phanatic ice cream cup!
The Pittsburgh Pirates. Scorecard, ice cream helmet, and beer cup (I think the only stadium I don't have a soda cup for). The Clint Hurdle gnome was the official giveaway that night.
OK, the last for today (most of the remainder after these will be miscellaneous stuff from Braves/Turner Field including lots of soda cups, beer cups, etc.
Some remaining teams. NOTE: Most of these are 2013-2015 when I was less strategic about getting everything at a stadium. As such, there may be an item or two (beer cup, ice cream helmet) missing.
Boston Red Sox. Scorecard, soda cup, and mascot ice cream cup. The 'Free Brady' lithograph was free if you bought your scorecard from the kids outside the stadium.
Chicago Cubs. Scorecard, soda cup, and magnet. The official giveaway (not shown) for one game was a life-sized replica of the Billy Williams flag that flies in the outfield.
Colorado Rockies. We were there for two days. Friday I got a generic soda cup but Saturday was their Military Appreciation Day so there was a soda cup just for that! Not shown was a giveaway that day, a blanket with camouflage in the Rockies colors.
Lastly, for now, the Miami Marlins. Scorecard, soda cup, ice cream helmet.
Just got back from my baseball trip to St. Louis! Got the usual stuff: scorecard (Busch Stadium is very scorekeeper friendly!), ice cream helmet, beer and soda cups. The official giveaway on Saturday was a replica ring commemorating the Cardinals willing the 2013 NL Championships. It was a 'secret' ring in which it represented one of five players; I got Wacha and my friend got Molina. Sunday's giveaway was a bobble commemorating the 30-year anniversary of Mark McGuire breaking the single-season HR record.
Oh, and the friend I met there brought me this from San Francisco: Battle of the Bay snowglobe!
I have been absent for a while. Not much for me this time of year unless I find a hockey or basketball arena to go to. The Jazz announced their bobbhead schedule so I should consider those (although I am not much of a basketball fan).
If all goes well, next year I should get the Oakland A's (with a bobblehead!), Orem Owlz, College of Charleston, and maybe Seattle Mariners and Tacoma Rainiers.
So here are my figures on shelves. These images do not include ice cream helmets, scorecards, nor plastic soda and beer cups. Enjoy!
hey guys! Baseball season is back so should I be more frequently again LOL. Hope you all had a good winter!
This past weekend, I had a work + personal trip so got a couple stadiums in, one new.
Not sure what's next. I need to hit up the University of Utah since it's local. I will be in NYC in May and might go to a Yankees game (even though it's not a new stadium). My official baseball trip this year will be the Wisconsin Timberrattlers and Milwaukee Brewers (Christian Yelich bobble) in early June. And then in late June, I'll be back in SF for work and will hit up Oakland (Matt Olson bobble).
Today I went to my first University of Utah game (they were hosting my hometown team - but not Alma Mater - Arizona State). They play in the same stadium as the Salt Lake Bees, so while it was a new team, it was not a new stadium. Also, because it's not a UofU specific stadium, there is no university-specific swag (nor original scorecards). They do, however, give away a baseball card for a team member on every Sat or Sun game. Today, I got #22 Joshua Tedeschi, who interestingly was today's starter for Utah.


Over $110 million was spent in the 2012/2013 fiscal year to patch and rehabilitate roads with retaining walls in the constituency of South East St. Ann.
Minister of Youth and Culture and Member of Parliament for the area, Hon. Lisa Hanna, made the disclosure on Tuesday, June 18, during her contribution to the 2013/2014 Sectoral debate in the House of Representatives.
She also informed that funding has been secured for the rehabilitation of the Moneague Post Office, which will commence shortly, and for work on community centres in Drumily, Moneague, Rio Hoe, and Beecher Town; and the Beecher Town Primary School Resource Centre.
Noting the contribution of the Bauxite Community Development Programme to the constituency, she said that some $1.2 million will be spent under the initiative on a sports programme during the summer.
In addition, the free Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) classes co-sponsored by the programme have been expanded to include Social Studies and English Language. Last year, classes were offered in Mathematics, with a 100 per cent pass rate for those who sat the exams.
The initiative includes the establishment of an Information Technology Centre in rural Retreat at a cost of $1.8 million.
Meanwhile, efforts were also made to improve access to potable water in the constituency with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Jamaica Bauxite Institute (JBI) and the National Water Commission (NWC), to provide access to the Lydford wells.
"This will improve water access across the constituency once the NWC's K Factor Programme gets underway this year," Miss Hanna said.
She also expressed appreciation to the Ministry of Transport, Works and Housing for its supervision of the North South Highway, which will run through the majority of the constituency.
She noted that the jobs and other projects, to emerge during and after the construction phase, will be "transformative" for the area.
The highway development, spanning some 66 kilometres between Caymanas in St. Catherine and Ocho Rios, St. Ann, is being undertaken by Chinese firm, China Harbour Engineering Company Limited (CHEC), at a cost of some US$610 million.


2019 INDABA REPORT 24 E&MJ • MARCH 2019 www.e-mj.com taken seriously as a resource destination. "It's not really one action or one speech that will change investor perceptions of South Africa," George Cheveley a port- folio manager at Investec Asset Manage- ment, said. Instead, investors need confidence that the rules under which they operate do not arbitrarily change. That happened un- der Zuma's watch. "It's not so much about what the rules and regulations are, it's that they stay the same," Cheveley said. Industry veteran Mark Cutifani, CEO of Anglo America, concurred. "We can do much better with the assets we have, that represent a significant potential for the country today," he said. Even in a perfect policy environment, mining was a tough business, Cutifani said. South Africa's gold producers for instance are now pushing five kilometers below the surface, which greatly increases the cost of extraction. "We have to improve costs at least 10% a year, because that's the annual in- crease in cost," Cutifani said. "Minerals are becoming harder to reach." He was, however, encouraged at recent policy shifts, including a decision to view explo- ration separately from mining itself. Junior exploration companies have up to now had to comply with the same rules that operating companies adhere to. This included the requirements for black shareholders with which large companies need to comply. Since juniors tend to be small entrepreneurs engaged in what is already a high-risk endeavor, added red tape has only hurt the sector. South Afri- ca now gets less than 1% of global explo- ration spend, the Indaba heard. "The question is how do we encourage progress in exploration, the riskiest part of mining?" Cutifani said. "Exploration is critical for mining's success." Gold Bug Demand for gold has been sluggish since the end of the last supercycle in 2014, but some now believe this is about to change. Tom Kendall, head of precious metal sales at ICBC Standard Bank, told the Indaba that for the first time in years institutional investors were return- ing to bullion. "There's been very little institutional interest in gold since 2014 when demand reached its peak," he said. "We've now seen a bit of a shift as ex- change traded funds and other large in- vestors are creeping back in." He predicted that the U.S. was head- ed for another low interest rate cycle, and the Federal Reserve would unlikely meet targets of rates hikes. "Low interest rates are very good for gold." The previous cycle had begun when the world financial markets crashed in 2008. The Fed began a cycle of inter- est rate cutting and managing a stimu- lus package that lowered interest rates. "Until then, gold was unloved and in a multiyear bear market, until the stimulus measures began. We are seeing the begin- nings of the same pattern emerge now." New Blood One of the fresher faces on the mining scene at Indaba was the Saudi Arabia company Ma'aden. Although far less known that its counterparts listed in Lon- don, Toronto and Perth, the Riyad-based firm is already one of the largest mining houses with a market capitalization of US$16 billion. For most of the past 10 years, Ma'aden has confined itself to the Arabian Peninsula, but is now looking to go global, its CEO Darren Davis told the Indaba. The company has more than US$25 billion in assets, including baux- ite, phosphate and alumina. "We've built a major economic engine in just 10 years," Davis said. "We are now looking outside of Saudi, especially at phosphate. We are already the world's third-largest fertilizer producer and plan on becoming No. 2." The company, he said, was already accustomed to operating in remote loca- tions and would leverage its experience in doing so elsewhere. However, Davis would not commit to which regions specifically the company was exploring. He added that Saudi Arabia had an open exploration license process and en- couraged juniors to consider the country. Davis noted that although the country had attracted a fair amount of controversy of late, it was an evolving nation finding its way in the world. "There are many so- cio-political changes under way. And min- ing is going to be a focus over the next 20, 30 years." For South African mining, Indaba 2019 was a watershed moment, repre- senting possibly the last opportunity to save the industry. While it is still early days yet, it seems the event may just mark the moment in time when all con- cerned finally pulled together. The Indaba is re-establishing itself as a networking opportunity for the industry, as South Africa emerges from years of lost opportunities. Tom Kendall, head of precious metal sales at ICBC Standard Bank, says the 5-year gold slump is over.

Q: Should I create separate SQL Server database for each user? I am working on Asp.Net MVC web application, back-end is SQL Server 2012.
This application will provide billing, accounting, and inventory management. The user will create an account by signup. just like http://www.quickbooks.in. Each user will create some masters and various transactions. There is no limit, user can make unlimited records in the database.
I want to keep stable database performance, after heavy data load. I am maintaining proper indexing and primary keys in it, but there would be a heavy load on the database, per user.
So, should I create a separate database for each user, or should maintain one database with UserID. Add UserID in each table and making a partition based on UserID?
I am not an expert in SQL Server, so please provide suggestions with clear specifications.
Please inform me if there is any lack of information.

A: A DB per user is what happens when customers need to be able pack up and leave taking the actual database with them. Think of a self hosted wordpress website.  Or if there are incredible risks to one user accidentally seeing another user's data, so it's safer to rely on the servers security model than to rely on remembering to add the UserId filter to all your queries. I can't imagine a scenario like that, but who knows-- maybe if the privacy laws allowed for jail time, I would rather data partitioned by security rules rather than carefully writing WHERE clauses.
If you did do user-per-database, creating a new user will be 10x more effort. While INSERT, UPDATE and so  on stay the same from version to version, with each upgrade the syntax for database, user creation, permission granting and so on will evolve enough to break those scripts each SQL version upgrade.
Also, this will multiply your migration headaches by the number of users. Let's say you have 5000 users and you need to add some new columns, change a columns data type, update a trigger, and so on. Instead of needing to run that change script 1x, you need to run it 5000 times.
Per user Dbs also probably wastes disk space. Each of those databases is going to have a transaction log, sitting idle taking up the minimum log space.
As for load, if collectively your 5000 users are doing 1 billion inserts, updates and so on per day, my intuition tells me that it's going to be faster on one database, unless there is some sort of contension issue (everyone reading and writing to the same table at the same time and the same pages of the same table). Each database has machine resources (probably threads and memory) per database doing housekeeping, so these extra DBs can't be free.
Anyhow, the best thing to do is to simulate the two architectures and use a random data generator to simulate load and see how they perform.

A: It's not an easy answer to give.
First, there is logical design to be considered. Then you have integrity, security, management and performance (in this very order).
A database is a logical unit of data, self contained. Ideally, you should be able to take a database, move it to another instance, probably change the connection strings and be running again.
All the constraints are database-level. No foreign keys can exist referencing some object outside the database.
So, try thinking in these terms first.
How would you reliably prevent one user messing up the other user's data? Keep in mind that it's just a matter of time before someone opens an excel sheet and fire up queries on the database bypassing your application. Row level security in SQL Server is something you don't want to deal with.
Multiple databases mean that all management tasks should be scripted out and executed on all databases. Yes, there is some overhead to it, but once you set it up it's just the matter of monitoring. If a database goes suspect, it's a single customer down, not all of them. You can even have different versions for different customes if each customer have it's own database. Additionally, if you roll an upgrade, you can do it per customer, so the inpact will be much less.
Performance is the least relevant factor here. Of course, it really depends on how many customers and how much data, but proper indexing will solve these issues. Scale-out is much easier with multiple databases.
BTW, partitioning, as you mentioned it, is never a performance booster, it's simply a management feature, allowing for faster loading and evicting of data from a table.
I'd probably put each customer in separate database, but it's up to you eventually to make a decision for yourself. Hope I've helped some with this.

Chris Wagner Injury: Forward 'Not Good Right Now' After Leaving Late In Game 3
by Logan Mullen on Tue, May 14, 2019 at 11:47PM
The Boston Bruins' fourth line of Joakim Nordstrom, Sean Kuraly and Chris Wagner is playing at a remarkably high level, but injury might force them to get broken up.
Late in the B's 2-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final, Wagner came up with a big shot block that appeared to strike his arm. He visibly was in a lot of pain when it happened, and when the puck was cleared he went to the bench, ultimately heading down to the locker room.
Multiple reporters on site indicated that Wagner was in a sling after the game. Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy did not have a detailed update but did not sound overly encouraged.
"Right now I don't have an update," Cassidy said, as seen on NESN's postgame coverage. "He's not good right now, when he came off obviously in a lot of pain. Probably will have something for you tomorrow, but for right now just very pleased with what he was able to bring for us — that whole line."
Wagner opened the scoring in the second period with a redirect off a nice pass from Nordstrom. That fourth line ultimately combined for a goal, two assists, eight shots, six hits and two shot-blocks in the victory.
The trio had been playing so well that it was part of the reason Cassidy elected to healthy scratch Noel Acciari, but he may be forced to slot Acciari back if the diagnosis indeed is bad for Wagner.

On May 2, 2016 the Journal of Development Engineering (Dev Eng) will officially launch at the 2016 International UNESCO Conference in Technologies for Development: From Innovation to Social-Impact (Tech4Dev). The conference is hosted by the Cooperation & Development Center (CODEV) at École Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Established in 2007, Tech4Dev is the flagship event of the UNESCO Chair in Technologies for Development. The Conference is focused on the application of technology solutions to advance inclusive social and economic development in the developing world.
This year's convening serves as the official launch of the new open access, interdisciplinary journal. Dev Eng is a forum for engineering and economic research applied to the problems of poverty. Published by Elsevier, the journal showcases research on innovative technologies designed to improve welfare in developing countries, along with novel measurement tools that aim to improve the quality of data on development outcomes. The first issue of Dev Eng is currently available on ScienceDirect.
"We are pleased to partner with EPFL conference leaders and Elsevier to launch the Dev Eng journal at this conference. It is an opportunity for the journal to make new connections and invite submissions from Tech4Dev conference participants," said Co-Chief Editor Professor Ashok Gadgil, a professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.
Dev Eng encourages collaboration and learning among engineers, economists, and other scientists. It is also committed to promoting high-quality research by scholars from low- and middle-income countries.
To actively cultivate contributions from developing country authors, the journal is designing a novel Co-Mentorship Program. The initiative will aim to bridge the publishing gap faced by developing country scholars while also facilitating meaningful collaborations between researchers in industrialized and less developed countries.
"This launch event will include expert panels discussing the journal's focal research areas, including the design of technologies to measure development outcomes. It also gives us an opportunity to discuss the editors' commitment to open and reproducible research practices" said Temina Madon, Executive Director of the Center for Effective Global Action.
"Open Science: From Research Transparency to Inclusive Authorship," a panel discussion moderated by Sarah White, Senior Program Associate at the Center for Effective Global Action.
Dev Eng accepts manuscripts on a rolling basis and is currently soliciting new submissions. The second issue is expected to close in December, 2016. Prospective authors are encouraged to visit and submit their work at the Dev Eng website: http://tinyurl.com/DevEngSubmit.
The journal is supported by the Development Impact Lab, led by UC Berkeley, with support from the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Blum Center for Developing Economies, and the Center for Effective Global Action.

[GRTV] Richard James reflects on the past 10 years at NZ Funds
Out-going NZ Funds Management chief executive Richard James talks about his time at the helm of the company, how it's changed in that time, the future and the biggest issues for advisers.
Thursday, August 9th 2018, 9:00AM
This episode is also available as an audio podcast. Listen now or download using the controls below:
When Richard James took over the helm of NZ Funds Management 10 years ago, just as the Global Financial Crisis was happening, things weren't well. While markets crashing were one issue, to deal with so too were some of the earlier business decisions.
As James says in his interview with GRTV; "When I took over it would be fair to say that some of the decisions we'd made in the preceding decade hadn't worked out as we would have liked or our clients would have liked."
That lead to a deep reflection on previous decisions, fronting up to clients and consequently transitioning the business from a product-based investment management firm to one which is now an integrated wealth management business.
"It's quite a different business (now)," he says.
NZ Funds's investment approach is to be global investors with a value orientation and with downside mitigation.
"We have a value orientation because over time buying cheaper stocks has proven to produce higher risk-adjusted returns than buying expensive stocks."
James says NZ Funds's approach is around client outcomes and objectives. "The performance of the fund is less important to us than the performance of the individual investor."
One of the biggest issues facing advisers is succession planning and that is something which NZ Funds is working on providing solutions to advisers.
The big opportunity, he explains in more detail in the video, is KiwiSaver.
James is very upfront and says that funds management, advice and administration expenses are too high and have to come down. In the video he talks about ways that may change in the future.
While many people argue about what is the best investment approach, James says there isn't just one winner.
"I think in the industry there's too much focus on what is "best" and I don't think there is an individual approach which is best. I could argue vehemently for an entirely passive approach, I could argue vehemently for a quantitative approach, or I could argue vehemently for an active approach. I could argue vehemently for a longterm strategy using property. So I don't believe any one of them is right or wrong."
"It's really dangerous in our industry to focus on absolute truths."

Writer defends the Hawaii Kai map that state Rep. Gene Ward published in his newsletter.
Trisha Kajimura wrote a recent Community Voice editorial titled, "Publicizing Locations, Traits of Homeless People is Unwise." She was referring to a map state Rep. Gene Ward published in his newsletter.
• To warn residents of potential dangers.
• To support our arguments that allowing homeless to live unsheltered is a bad idea.
The Hawaii Kai Homeless Task Force contends the map is one tool to address the area's homelessness problem.
As it turns out, the map has a third purpose. The Institute for Human Services wants us to create an updated version to help with its point-in-time count. We never thought for a moment the map had anything to do with finding solutions to the homeless crisis. For that, we have a comprehensive legislative plan to end homelessness now, with money the state is already spending.
We also offer the homeless help through social service organizations. However, in the four months since our founding, not one homeless person accepted our offers of assistance. Addicts didn't want to be in programs that might pressure them into sobriety. Others didn't want to participate in housing programs if it meant spending time in shelters or pressuring them to find a job.
I'm not in the business of propagating stereotypes about any group. But we have to face facts: There is a big difference between the "economic homeless," for example, those who became homeless solely because of the cost of housing and financial difficulties, and the chronic homeless.
National statistics show that about 80 percent of the chronic homeless are mentally ill, addicted to drugs, or a combination of the two. A small percentage are also "willfully homeless," for example, they choose homelessness over the challenges of a more traditional life.
These statistics comport with events reported to us in Hawaii Kai by residents. For example, in November, a homeless methamphetamine addict in Portlock ran naked down a street wielding kitchen knives. Another meth addict in Portlock threatened people and was apparently so dangerous that his own mother had a restraining order against him.
A mentally ill homeless man terrified shoppers in Towne Center by screaming epithets at them. A homeless man used a charcoal barbecue near a jug of gasoline in a heavily wooded area, and another lit an illegal campfire threatening homes on Lunalilo Home Road. The Hawaii Kai Marina Community Association spent $83,000 to clean trash left by 20 homeless trespassers, and Kamehameha Schools spent $50,000 to clean rubbish left by only six.
There were many other incidents.
Tristia Bauman, an attorney with the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty in Washington, D.C., claimed the map was at odds with the constitutional right to "move in and out of neighborhoods." She failed to mention the Constitution doesn't provide a right to trespass and damage property.
She insinuated the map threatened to criminalize innocent homeless people. She failed to mention the map listed actual crimes. If our map is unconstitutional, then so are police crime maps.
She further warned we could run afoul of medical privacy laws. She should know reporting a mentally ill man screaming epithets at people in a mall is not a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act violation.
We have great deference for the constitutional rights of the homeless. People also have the right to prevent their neighborhoods from being turned into trash dumps and toilets.
Mateo Caballero, Hawaii ACLU's director, expressed concern the map could dehumanize the homeless, and encourage some people to target them.
We would never have published the map if we thought that was a realistic possibility. Mr. Caballero should also know we're not enemies of the American Civil Liberties Union. In fact, we list the ACLU as a homeless service on our website.
Arguing over a map is a waste of time. We should break out of our ideological bubbles and work together to end the homeless crisis.
Michael Goodman is director of the Hawaii Kai Advisory Council Homeless Task Force.

Christian Reichardt (* 16. November 1934 in Ebersbach-Neugersdorf/Sachsen) ist ein deutscher Chemiker und pensionierter Professor für organische Chemie an der Philipps-Universität Marburg.

Leben
Nach Besuch der Volksschule in Neugersdorf (1941–1949) und der Oberschule in Zittau/Sachsen (1949–1953) zunächst von 1953 bis 1954 Tätigkeit als Lehrassistent für Chemie an der Fachschule für Energie (Fachrichtung Elektrizitäts-Erzeugung und -Verteilung) in Zittau/Sachsen. Im Anschluss studierte er an der Technischen Hochschule für Chemie in Leuna-Merseburg. Nach der Flucht aus der DDR in die BRD im Jahre 1955 setzte er sein Chemiestudium an der Philipps-Universität Marburg fort, an der er 1962 promoviert wurde (Mentor: Karl Dimroth). Nach Habilitation für das Fach Organische Chemie im Jahr 1967 war er zunächst Oberassistent und Privatdozent dort. 1969–1971 nahm er einen Lehrauftrag für Spezielle Organische Chemie an der Justus-Liebig-Universität in Gießen wahr. Von 1971 bis 1999 war er Professor für Organische Chemie (H3/C3) am Chemischen Institut  der Philipps-Universität Marburg.  Er hatte Gastprofessuren an den Universitäten Barcelona (1988), Bratislava (1998) und Oita/Japan (2000) inne.

Reichardt ist Autor und Koautor von mehr als 200 Veröffentlichungen und Patenten sowie von zwei Büchern über Lösungsmitteleffekte.

Seine Arbeitsgebiete umfassen die synthetische organische Chemie (insbesondere die Chemie der substituierten Malonaldehyde; der Polymethinfarbstoffe und der Pyridinium-N-phenolat-Betainfarbstoffe  → Reichardt-Farbstoff) und die physikalisch-organische Chemie (Solvatochromie organischer Farbstoffe, Lösungsmitteleinfluss auf chemische Reaktionen und empirische Parameter der Lösungsmittelpolarität  →  ET(30)- und ETN-Werte).

Seit Oktober 1999 befindet sich Reichardt im Ruhestand und befasst sich nun vor allem mit der geschichtlichen Entwicklung des Fachs Chemie an der Universität Marburg von 1609 bis zur Gegenwart, veröffentlicht in Bilddokumentationen und Broschüren.
