I have been married for 20 years. I want to leave the marriage because I am not happy. I am scared of him.
He won't let me leave. He says that I am selfish, that our son will not be able to go to university. That he will have to sell his dream house, his triplex. And because we owe a lot of money on these we will have nothing at the end. No more pension from the triplex. Nothing.
He cried in front of our 13 year old son, telling him that I no longer loved him, and he cried and cried. And my son cried and was so angry at me. It was heartbreaking to see my son like that. But I hated my husband so much more.
He has been diagnosed with ADHD. He has anger problems, he gets angry very quickly. He swears at us. He is always right, nobody else is. He thinks he knows everything.
He wIll insult clerks at store if they don't know the answer to his question, which obviously he knows. He drives like a maniac. He has scared me so many times, that once I screamed and he stopped the car and kicked (literally) me out of it, and he left me there.
I am suffering from depression. I take meds for it. I work full-time. I want to leave but I am paralyzed by his comments, by his words, even looking at him I am scared. I don't know what to do anymore.
Hello Kate, and thanks for telling your story here. I can tell you're having a very hard time, and you're in a very difficult situation. I will try to help.
There is nothing easy about the decision to leave a marriage, especially when you're being pressured in the way your husband is pressuring you. And of course it makes it much worse that he uses your son in the process, which is damaging to you and your son both.
From what you have written here, it appears that your husband is in a very destructive pattern. Unless he seeks help and begins doing some deep personal growth, this pattern of behavior will most likely continue, and get worse.
Bottom line is you have to take care of yourself, and your son. It's your husband's job to take care of himself, and if he doesn't, that's his responsibility. Read and follow the guidelines on this page about how to deal with abusive relationships. Seek counseling if you feel the need to, but do not give up on yourself or your situation. Staying married or getting divorced are both big decisions for you to make, and only you can decide which is the right decision for you.
Trust in the goodness and wisdom of your heart Kate, and you will make the right choice.
I am so sorry that you are in this position in your marriage. BUT it is NOT your fault. The doctor is correct in calling your husband abusive. He is not only abusive but also manipulative and destructive. It is obvious that his ADHD is not under control (does he take medication?)Most likely he will NOT seek medical help nor agree to counseling. Please seek counseling for you and your son. His actions are mostly likely going to escalate into more violent behavior so by all means, find help for you and your son. There are many shelters, churches or organizations that will give you guidance. DON'T wait. You DO NOT HAVE a marriage that is safe. Be safe my friend. Blessings to you. Good luck.


OPTi will organize a workshop at the ACM eEnergy conference.
District heating and cooling systems (DHC), both large and small scale, need to be more smart. The future DHC systems are envisioned to be more efficient, intelligent and cheaper. The development and deployment of intelligent systems using smart metering and control solutions for optimization, the general increase of sensors and actuators as Internet of Things (IoT) develops, consumer empowerment, and exploiting multiple energy resources are enabling factors for future DHC systems. The inclusion of waste heat recovery, heat pumps, thermal storage, co-generation and renewable energy integration, and to roll-out solutions for the integration of intelligent thermal network with smart electricity grids and data centers, are opportunities to increase the overall efficiency.
The workshop encourages contribution of papers that summarize new research results but also technical papers that describe new innovations and achievements in technical solutions for thermal management of buildings and optimization of DHC systems.

Jailers shut off water to Terrill Thomas' cell, and he died of dehydration. His family now has $6.75 million
LEFT BIAS
(CNN)The family of a Milwaukee man who died of dehydration after jailers shut off water to his cell has been paid $6.75 million in a settlement with the county and others, an attorney for the man's estate said.
Terrill Thomas died April 24, 2016, after being deprived of water for seven days. In a 2017 inquest, inmates testified that they heard the 38-year-old begging for water for days, and jail officials said they were unaware the water to his cell had been turned off. Three county officials have since been sentenced to jail, according to local reports. Ed Budge, a Seattle-based attorney who was part of the legal team representing Thomas' estate, declined to comment on the negotiations or timing of the settlement, but he confirmed that the money has been delivered to the estate. He called the settlement one of the largest in history for a federal civil rights case involving an in-custody death.

"We are satisfied that the settlement reflects the atrociousness of what happened, and it's an appropriate result for this case."Read MoreThe lawsuit named Milwaukee County, then-Sheriff David Clarke, Armor Correctional Health Services, which was contracted to provide health care at the Milwaukee County Jail, and several other defendants.Clarke steps down as sheriffBudge declined to say how much each entity is paying, but he said all defendants in the case have been dismissed. Court records indicate US District Judge Pamela Pepper dismissed the case May 13. 'Just the toilet water'Thomas was arrested April 15, 2016, and charged with reckless endangerment and felony firearms violations after he fired shots in a casino, according to court documents. He reportedly suffered from a mental disorder. All charges were dismissed after his death.After Thomas was placed in a cell, he stopped up his toilet, causing the cell to flood. Lt. Kashka Meadors of the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office had Thomas moved to another cell and ordered that his water be cut off, she testified during the 2017 inquest. "It should have been the toilet water, just the toilet water," she said.

South Carolina man left to die in prison, family says. 01:51Officer James Ramsey-Guy shut off all water, as ordered, according to a criminal complaint, but he neither logged the action nor informed other corrections officers that the water had been turned off. The jury in the inquest recommended that Meadors and Ramsey-Guy be criminally charged, along with then-jail administrator Nancy Evans, who was accused of covering up key portions of the surveillance video from Thomas' cell. According to the criminal complaint, Evans did not take steps to preserve footage that showed the water being shut off, and she did not tell investigators about the footage when asked. Jailers sentenced to jailMeadors and Ramsey-Guy were charged with felony neglect, and Evans faced a count each of felony misconduct and misdemeanor obstruction. Meadors pleaded no contest to abuse of residents in a penal facility, and Ramsey-Guy pleaded no contest to obstruction, ending their criminal cases, according to CNN affiliate WITI. Earlier this year, Meadors was sentenced to 60 days at the Milwaukee County House of Correction and was granted work release privileges, while Ramsey-Guy was sentenced to 30 days with the same privileges, the TV station reported. Evans — whom WITI says Clarke handpicked to run the jail, which saw seven in-custody deaths in two years under her leadership — resigned last year. Her obstruction charge was dropped, but she pleaded no contest to the more serious charge. She was sentenced to nine months in the House of Correction in March. Wellpath took over health care at the Milwaukee Jail and Milwaukee House of Correction on April 1.

Battery charging stations for home lighting in Mekong region countries
Ramchandra Pode
The role of energy services in social and economical developments is well recognized. However, rural populations in developing countries are deprived of affordable and reliable energy services. Batteries are considered as potential and relatively cheap source of power for home lighting in remote rural areas. These can be charged at affordable fee at Battery Charging Stations (BCSs) with a diesel generator and/or solar BCSs. Diesel generators are emitting CO2 green house gas and contributing to environmental pollution. While, the Solar Battery Charging Stations (SBCSs) with battery backup (i) address the issue of environmental pollution, (ii) reduce the production and use of fossil fuels, and (iii) also prevent the energy intermittency in rainy or cloudy days.

Sustainable rural electrification using rice husk biomass energy: A case study of Cambodia
Boucar Diouf
Gayatri Pode
The role of energy in overall social and economical developments is well recognized. However, most energy providers are reluctant to venture in rural regions of developing countries. These regions are generally characterized by: low-income populations, minimum access to electricity, rare access to financial services or loans. In this paper we present the potential of rice husk for rural electrification in Cambodia. Rice husk is locally abundant at almost no cost, with a production over 9.3 million tons paddy rice in 2014 for a total population of about 15 million people. The conversion of rice husk into electricity through gasification or thermally generated electricity is a well-known technology. Rice husk can contribute in a sustainable manner to grant access to electricity to Cambodian rural population and is more reliable and competitive with reference to other renewable energy sources of electricity. The present investigation focuses on the study of self-sustaining energy service model to provide grid quality power to rural populations without the need of subsidies. In Cambodia, many rice mills are operating in rural and semi-urban areas. Some of these mills are now using rice husk for electricity production for industries and rural households, generally for lighting at low cost. We believe that the power systems focusing on both power requirements for the industry such rice mills and power requirements for the people living in the neighboring villages/rural areas at affordable tariff could become the most appropriate solution for the sustainable rural electrification. Along with the potential of rice husk for rural electrification in Cambodia, we present a financially viable business model to provide the grid quality power to rural population without grant or subsidy.
... Cambodia focuses mainly on the development of hydro-power electricity plants. Unfortunately there is no specific target on those two policies regarding the share of renewable energy in Cambodia's energy mix or the timeframe (Poch 2013). Based on the IRENA country profile, the Government of Cambodia has announced an intention to achieve the target of 15 percent of rural electricity supply from renewables by 2015 (IRENA 2013b). ...
Towards global sustainability: Issues, new indicators and economic policy
P.J.J. Welfens
J.K. Perret
T. Irawan
E. Yushkova
This study develops a new indicator for national and global sustainability. The main components of the EIIW-vita indicator are: the share of renewable energy, the genuine savings rate and the relative "green export" position of the respective countries; it is in line with OECD requirements on composite indicators. As green exports are related to technological progress and environmental-friendly products, there is also a Schumpeterian perspective of this indicator. An extended version furthermore looks at water productivity. The analysis highlights the BRIICS countries as well as the US, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the UK and Japan. Moreover the special challenges and dynamics of ASEAN countries and Asia are discussed. The book derives key implications for economic and environmental policy and shows that the new global sustainability indicator is not only relevant for green progress, but also useful as a signal for international investors. The construction of the EIIW-vita global sustainability indicator is such that investors, citizens and governments can easily interpret the results. Correlation analysis of the new sustainability indicator with the human development index indicates complementarity, so that a new hybrid superindicator can be constructed. Sustainability rhetoric dominates environmental policy. This fresh assessment of key "pillars" of sustainable economic performance and growth is a valuable contribution to greening the economy, the leitmotiv of the latest Rio Earth Summit. The book places the discussion of sustainability on solid data. The rather surprising results of its new sustainability index should make policy makers rethink their environmental and economic strategies. Many people put the economy first when sustainability concerns are raised, while environmental indicators are often developed without a sense of socio-economic performance. This important new book bridges the gap. It sheds light on crucial indicators such as renewable energies, exporting green goods and services, genuine savings, and water productivity. And it helps to observe the impressive changes at a global scale and in countries such as China. A must read for all experts interested in those issues. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. All rights reserved.
Situation analysis of energy use and consumption in Cambodia: household access to energy

Korkeakoski Mika
Mentula Minna

Luukkanen Jyrki
Hogarth Nicholas
The aim of this article is to analyse the current situation of access to energy (in relation to SDG 7) and energy usage behaviour in households in two provinces in Cambodia, namely Pursat and Kampong Cham. The analytical framework is based on the energy ladder model and the energy stacking model as a starting point for assessing the current household energy profiles. A quantitative survey carried out in late 2015 in 970 households revealed differences in access to electricity between urban, electrified rural, and non-electrified rural districts. In urban areas, households are using multiple (3–4) energy sources compared to rural areas (2–3). The use of electricity through batteries in the non-electrified rural areas remains notable (43%) despite no access to the national grid. The dependence on traditional biomass, especially firewood, remains high (91% of all respondents) for all the sampled households, especially so in rural non-electrified households. The study confirms that households' energy mix is composed of various energy sources, even when modern energy sources are available as opposed to complete fuel switch. The results also show that electricity use does not automatically lead to increased household income, but is much more complex process than discussed in existing research. The article further discusses the possible causes behind the phenomenon, proposes recommendations for better-informed energy policy, and provides important insights towards sustainable energy transition in Cambodia in the future.
Planification du réseau de distribution basse tension avec intégration de sources photovoltaïques et stockage : cas du réseau du Cambodge
Vannak Vai
The energy consumption increases year by year due to the growth of the population and the economic conditions. In this context, the Cambodian government promotes and encourages the development of the electrification through several policies; all the villages must be electrified by2020 and at least 70 % of the households will be connected to the network by 2030. Besides, lots of non-electrified homes are equipped with solar panels so as to have access to the electricity. Then,the objective of this thesis is to develop planning tools of the low voltage distribution network to contribute to the electrification of the country. The first part of this thesis focuses on the development of architecture's optimization methods to minimize the capital expenditure (CAPEX)and operational expenditure (OPEX) while respecting both topological and electrical constraints(current and voltage) and integrating the uncertainties on the future development of the low voltage customers. The second part of the thesis proposes a new planning solution so as to integrate the current and future solar productions on the low voltage network. This solution consists in adding centralized storage (in urban and rural areas) and decentralized storage (in rural areas). The main advantages would be first to reduce the consumption peak of the medium voltage /low voltage transformer and consequently to reduce the medium voltage investments but also to size low voltage"microgrids" which can be autonomous a big part of the year. A technical and economic comparison with the classic solution of reinforcement allows estimating the interest of this new solution.

Estimating the Low-Carbon Technology Deployment Costs and INDC Targets
Sivanappan Kumar
Md. Anisuzaman
Pallavi Das
This chapter investigates the cost of deployment of low-carbon technologies (LCTs) in India, Indonesia, China, Cambodia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam to successfully achieve their Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) targets by 2030, through the deployment and upscaling of their prioritized technologies. Solar PV is found to be the top priority technology to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in most of the selected countries, followed by biomass and wind power technologies. Taking note of the low-carbon resource potential available, the results indicate that China, Cambodia, Indonesia and Vietnam could meet more than 80% their emission targets using one LCT. India and Thailand can meet more than 90% its emission target with a combination of its top two prioritised technologies. Other countries would require a combination of technologies apart from their prioritized technology to meet their INDC target. The costs of deployment have been considered using Net Present Value (NPV) that encompasses the following costs and revenues: capital costs, operation and maintenance costs, financing costs, grants and subsidies and revenues (sale of electricity and CER credits) at the present. For all investments, the NPV is positive indicating that they are financially viable.
INDC and Low-Carbon Technology Deployment Scenarios: Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar
Beni Suryadi
Sanjayan Velautham
Three ASEAN member states, Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar (CLM)—listed as the least developed countries (LDC)—had tremendous economic growth in the last decade, higher than the ASEAN average. Unfortunately, this is also translated into the high growth of GHG emissions. Noting their vulnerable position to the impact of the climate change, the Governments have looked to a variety of low-carbon technologies (LCTs) to help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease GHG emissions. Heavily focus on the programme for the rural development and rely mostly on hydro as the main renewable energy sources, in recent years, tremendous strides have been made to advance low-carbon energy systems, as reflected in their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). However, as the least developed countries with limited financial resources, the Governments have difficulties in innovating, scaling up investment, bringing down the system costs, implementing the right policy frameworks and interconnecting large amounts of variable renewable energy supply into the grid. To this, it is important for these countries to tap the collaboration with all, not only international development bank such as World Bank or Asian Development Bank, but also with various key knowledge partners.

Hace tres años el Worldwatch Institute desarrolló una metodología holística para aconsejar a los gobiernos sobre el diseño de estrategias nacionales de energía que se basan en los potenciales técnicos específicos de un país, que consideran su clima particular de inversión y sus barreras financieras y que benefician económica y socialmente a su pueblo. Al diseñar estas Hojas de Ruta de Energía Sostenible para muchos lugares del mundo, hemos descubierto que las soluciones de energía limpia —energía renovable, eficiencia energética y distribución inteligente de energía— son los enfoques más apropiados para crear el desarrollo sostenido y económicamente confiable que se necesita urgentemente para satisfacer las necesidades y aspiraciones de la humanidad. "La Ruta hacia el Futuro para la Energía Renovable en Centroamérica" se concentra en el estatus de las tecnologías de energía renovable en Centroamérica y analiza las condiciones para su desarrollo en el futuro. Identifica importantes brechas de conocimiento e información y evalúa barreras clave tanto de finanzas como de políticas, además de hacer sugerencias sobre cómo superarlas. De este modo, este estudio es la "hoja de ruta de la hoja de ruta" que cubre las mejoras que deben ocurrir con respecto a componentes clave del sistema de energía sostenible y establece la metodología y el fundamento necesario para estrategias integrales de energía a nivel nacional. Este reporte es la culminación de la primera fase de la Iniciativa de Energía Sostenible en Centroamérica del Worldwatch Institute, lanzada en conjunto con el Centro Latinoamericano para la Competitividad y el Desarrollo Sostenible (CLACDS) de INCAE Business School. Las etapas siguientes del proyecto cubrirán las brechas de conocimiento e información que se identifican aquí y harán sugerencias concretas para reformas financieras y políticas a nivel regional y nacional. La meta final de esta iniciativa es integrar y sincronizar la pericia técnica, socioeconómica, financiera y política disponible en una sola herramienta completa para el planeamiento energético. La Hoja de Ruta para la Energía Sostenible en Centroamérica, que será el resultado de este esfuerzo, delineará el curso para una ruta de desarrollo energético compatible con el clima, que permita un futuro sostenible a nivel social, económico y ambiental para la región. Los conocimientos y resultados de nuestro trabajo actual y nuestro trabajo futuro se distribuirán ampliamente —entre gobiernos, tomadores de decisiones no gubernamentales, expertos académicos y de la industria, líderes comunales y locales, los medios y el público en general— para garantizar que todos los centroamericanos entiendan las múltiples rutas potenciales que hay hacia el futuro.

Nothing spoils the look of a perfectly manicured lawn than unsightly weeds, such as crab grass or Canadian thistle. Depending on the type of weed removal methods chosen, you will need between 10 and 14 days to eliminate undesirable growths in your lawn. Organic methods involve physically removing the weeds (and roots) and then reseeding gaps in the turf. Herbicide methods involve turf treatments that take at least two weeks to take effect. With either method, we recommend scheduling weed removal service at least two weeks prior to your backyard event.
You'll want the grass to be greener on your side of the fence! To help achieve that "emerald splendor," envy-of-the-neighborhood lawn, you'll need to fertilize your lawn. There are many lawn care products on the market that require skill and expertise to apply appropriately. We have worked with homeowners who have killed their entire turf by accidentally over fertilizing. Don't risk your lawn. Call us instead for a combo weed control and fertilization treatment. It is well worth the investment for your lawn, and your party!
What, you say? Don't mow the lawn? Most hostesses ask us to mow the grass the day of or day before their backyard party. We certainly understand the desire to have the lawn looking neat and tidy, however, your grass may not withstand the "wear and tear" of excessive foot traffic if it's freshly mowed or too short. Therefore, we recommend that the grass be slightly longer than normal. The morning after party, we suggest that sprinklers be turned on to provide the grass and soil with a deep soak to restore the turf.
No one wants to wade through a soggy lawn, especially if they're wearing strappy sandals, flip-flops or other open-toed shoes. A squishy, water logged lawn may ruin your guests' shoes and it could cause significant damage to your turf. We recommend that you dry out your lawn and not water your grass for at least two days before your event. By the way, there are other benefits of a drier lawn such as fewer bugs (ie mosquitoes) and less humidity in the air.
Let your beautiful lawn be the "belle of the ball." Follow the tips we outlined above. And should you need assistance to improve the appearance of your lawn, shrubs or landscaping, we're a phone call away.
Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appearance. I must say you've done a superb job with this.

Losing weight can be tough when you work all of the time.
Losing weight is hard, especially when you're trying to lose weight and keep a healthy work-life balance.
Parking further away from the office, making your meetings active, standing for at least 30 minutes each hour, and preparing meals and snacks are weight loss tips you can follow at work.
Staying hydrated, opting for the stairs over the elevator, and taking advantage of any exercise incentives offered by your employer are weight loss tips you may want to consider following at work.
Losing weight isn't easy, but it can be even more difficult when you work eight hours a day or more.
Between sitting all day, grabbing something quick to eat, and relying on vending machines and office snacks, it's all too easy to gain weight without meaning to do so.
By implementing weight-loss tips you can follow at work, you can avoid meaningless snacking and going weeks with limited activity by making small, doable changes a part of your workday routine.
Meet the walking meeting. Instead of sitting around a conference table, or meeting over food or coffee, take your co-workers on the move. This works best with just one or two other people, but it's a great way to get brainstorms in motion and to get your body moving.
Park further away from the office.
Force yourself to walk a little more.
Instead of choosing the closest spot, choose your health and park further away from your entry to work.
It's not as convenient, and it'll take you longer to get from your car into work and vice versa, but it's a small change you can make daily to increase activity, which in turn will promote weight loss.
Don't keep snacks in your desk or office.
Keep healthier snacks on hand.
While intentional snacking is nothing to worry about, thoughtlessly reaching for whatever snack you keep stashed in your desk is all too easy, and can have a big impact on weight gain.
The same can be said for "fun" office snacks that just seem to magically populate day after day. Instead, plan your snacks—bring a piece of fruit with you to work, pack a protein shake, a serving of almonds, or a yogurt. The healthier food options tend to be those that can't be stored in a desk drawer. That way, you won't go without, but you won't go for extra either.
More water means less snacks.
Sometimes you think you're hungry, when you're really just dehydrated. Get a refillable water bottle to keep with you at work, and keep it filled. You won't feel the need to snack as much, and when lunch time comes, you won't be as hungry and will be less likely to overeat.
Slow down your meal or use the time for a quick workout.
Opt for activity — pack sneakers and workout gear so that you can get a workout in during your lunch break, go for a walk, take a group fitness class, or simply use the hour to enjoy your meal rather than rushing through it.
Forbes lists that "people who eat faster also tend to weigh more and gain more weight over time." That being said, slowing down and enjoying your meal lends itself to better metabolic health and more healthful body composition.
Prepare in advance, don't succumb to the vending machine.
If you plan your snacks, you'll be less likely to want anything from the vending machine.
Instead of using the excuse that you were hungry, but didn't have anything other than the vending machine, prepare in advance. To echo what we listed above, plan your snacks, and opt for healthy, fresh options. The vending machine is full of junk food and empty calories, which by no means will contribute positively to a goal like weight loss.
Take advantage of incentives offered by your employer.
Your office might offer workout opportunities.
If your place of employment offers workplace wellness programs, financial incentives, an in house fitness center, or in office workout classes, take advantage of these exercise incentive opportunities. These incentives aren't overly common but are certainly on the rise. This is a weight-loss tip that you can easily follow at work, should the opportunities be offered by your employer.
What's more motivating than potentially getting paid to workout, receiving a break on your healthcare fees, or not having to leave the office to get a good workout in?
Stand at least 30 minutes each hour.
You can do this with a standing desk.
As you might already know, sitting isn't great for you, and unfortunately, many of us spend the majority of our day sitting. Whether it's at a desk in an office, during a long drive to and from work, or on the couch after a long day, most of us spend more time seated than we do in any other position.
Mayo Clinic lists that the research shows a strong correlation between sitting for long periods of time with an i ncreased risk of disease, obesity, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and mortality. If we can implement standing into our routine throughout the day, we're taking a small step towards reaping health benefits and even encouraging weight loss.
According to Jack Callaghan, a professor in Waterloo's Department of Kinesiology, "the ideal sit-stand ratio lies somewhere between 1:1 and 1:3" and to get health benefits, people should be standing at least 30 minutes per hour.
Bring protein-packed meals and snacks.
Protein will fuel you through the day.
Protein keeps us feeling fuller longer. This typically leads to eating less throughout the day, which in turn can encourage weight loss, as we're not filling up on empty calories or extra snacks to make up for less than filling meals.
Too, protein requires more calories to digest than carbs and fats and helps to build and maintain muscle mass. The more muscle mass we have, the more calories are body will burn at rest.
Taking the stairs will always burn a couple extra calories.
If the stairs are an option, take them. Sure the elevator might be quicker, or more convenient, but if you elect to choose activity when you can, you're choosing to burn a few extra calories throughout the day.

Approximately 184,500 people are directly employed in mining, oil and gas operations which is about 1.6 per cent of the Australian workforce. The jobs and associated skills required for these resource operations can vary from project to project and company to company. Despite Resource Sector employment only representing a small proportion of our total workforce, it has a major impact on the future prosperity and sustainability of the Wide Bay Burnett regional economy.
As a driver of national and subsequently regional wealth, the Resource Sector has the potential to provide the Wide Bay Burnett region with long-term, sustainable employment opportunities through direct engagement with the sector or in support industries. Regional Development Australia Wide Bay Burnett (RDA WBB) is committed to achieving employment participation outcomes for the Wide Bay Burnett's unemployed labour force.
Critical to the ongoing operations of the sector is its ability to maintain a skilled workforce. Resource Sector labour shortages impact on regional skills shortages with the promise of higher wages attracting workers away from regional centres. Effective planning and appropriate training will mitigate this potential impact by providing a skilled labour pool of people who are not currently within the workforce to quickly replace existing workers.
The RDA WBB Roadmap V2.0 clearly indicates that Advancing Education and Training and Driving Economic Prosperity and Job Creation are key regional priorities. Through RDA WBB's regional consultation process conducted in March 2012 it was identified that matching the skills of our unemployed labour force with those required for the resources sector is the most important component of RDA WBB's workforce development activities.

How to conduct a high-quality systematic review on diagnostic research topics.
Authors suggest six steps are necessary for conducting high-quality systematic reviews on diagnostic topics around the objective, research question, searching for literature, assessing risk of bias, analyzing, and interpreting data. The review aims to instruct researchers on diagnostic methodology and recent updates in the field.
Rather than designing a study around the elements of PICO, PIRO is recommended in which "I" represents index test, and "R" represents reference standard.
The literature search for diagnostic topics can begin with using an existing systematic review that answers the research question, and is of satisfactory quality. The search date of that study can be used as a starting point to search forward in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and PROSPERO. A grey literature search is also recommended.
When no appropriate systematic reviews are available, a search of primary studies will need to be conducted. Databases to be used in this case include MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases, as well as related conference proceedings. It is preferred that language limits are not used and that a grey literature search is carried out if deemed appropriate by researchers. The search should include Medical Subject Headings terms and keywords representing the diagnostic test and target condition. Adding terms to capture diagnostic accuracy or study design is not recommended, as indexing of this concept has not been proven to be dependable.
This is a second article in a series. First article: Yao X, Vella E. How to conduct a high-quality original study on a diagnostic research topic. Surg Oncol. 2017;26(3):305-9.
Authors noted that in order to keep the article brief, they did not fully explore the concepts of how to design strategies for different databases or peer review.
Authors made general observations about the quality of diagnostic studies needing improvement without expanding on any evidence to support the claim.
How to conduct a high-quality original study on a diagnostic research topic.
Facilitating Prospective Registration of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies: A STARD Initiative.
This paper provides the arguments for prospective registration of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) studies in public databases. The authors do not advocate the creation of a specific registry for DTA studies, but registration is recommended in any available known public registry. A list of possible registries is provided in Table 1 of the paper.
The authors propose a modified version of the WHO trial registration data set (Table 2 in the paper) which specifies the fields that would be needed for registry records to capture the key elements of a DTA study.
Using their modified version of the WHO trial registration data set, the authors evaluated the reported information for the 30 most recently registered DTA studies in the WHO ICTRP in November 2016. This small analysis provides some information for searchers who are searching for DTA studies in ICTRP. In the sample of thirty studies, 90% reported that the study was a DTA study in the title of the record, 97% reported the target condition and 100% reported the index test.
The authors call on trial registries to ensure informative data are included in registry records to enhance identification. They also call on journal editors to encourage DTA study registration prior to publication.
This is a position paper and it does not dwell upon limitations of its methods.
The information for searchers is largely from the analysis of a small sample of thirty recent study records in ICTRP, but this information is highly valuable in indicating which aspects of DTA studies might be identifiable and retrievable within that database.
Are MEDLINE searches sufficient for systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the diagnostic accuracy of depression screening tools? A review of meta-analyses.
This study builds on the findings of Enst, et al (2014), testing to see if limiting literature searches to only MEDLINE is sufficient when conducting a systematic search for diagnostic accuracy studies of depression screening tools.
Authors used a peer-reviewed strategy to search MEDLINE and PsycINFO for meta-analyses of diagnostic accuracy of depression screening tools, screened titles and abstracts for inclusion, which resulted in the identification of 16 meta-analyses to inform this review. Authors then conducted a known item search in MEDLINE to determine if primary studies used in the meta-analyses were indexed in that database. For those studies not found in MEDLINE, authors searched a core set of databases and Google Scholar to identify where studies were indexed.
94% (375/398) (range: 83-100%) of the primary studies included in the 16 meta-analyses were indexed in MEDLINE. Of the 23 primary studies not indexed in MEDLINE, 71% were located in Scopus, 64% in PsycINFO, and/or 50% in Embase.
Unable to confirm whether the search strategies used in each meta-analysis did identify the articles indexed in MEDLINE as most included meta-analyses did not provide reproducible search strategies. Known-item search may have resulted in an overestimation of studies found in MEDLINE.
Authors did not provide a rationale for limiting their search to MEDLINE and PsycINFO; It is unclear why the authors decided to exclude systematic reviews that did not meta-analyze since excluding these studies likely resulted in a small sample and authors did not re-analyze the meta-analyses with non-MEDLINE studies removed; The authors raise the concern of MEDLINE not being updated as frequently having implications if groups were to adopt this approach for conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses of diagnostic test accuracy studies, but did not highlight the importance of updating searches or setting up database search alerts.
Appraisal of: "Rogerson TE, Ladhani M, Mitchell R, Craig JC, Webster AC. Efficient strategies to find diagnostic test accuracy studies in kidney journals. Nephrology (Carlton). 2015 Aug;20(8):513-8. "
Efficient strategies to find diagnostic test accuracy studies in kidney journals.
The aim of this study was to assess the performance of published diagnostic accuracy search filters for retrieval of diagnostic accuracy studies in nephrology journals. Note: the authors do emphasize that the study was designed to assist practitioners in routine clinical practice, therefore the findings are not intended to support information retrieval for the production of systematic reviews, health technology assessments.
To create the reference set, two reviewers hand searched the 2002, 2003, 2009 and 2010 issues of three nephrology journals. These years were selected as a way to compare the performance of search filters before and after the release of the 2003 STAndards for Reporting Diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statements—a secondary objective of this study. The authors assessed the performance of 14 published diagnostic test accuracy filters in MEDLINE; limiting searches to the years and journals that created the reference set.
Best balance between sensitivity and specificity: Bachmann 2002 and van der Weijden 1997 Short strategy.
A small reference set was used to test filter performance, thus this study lacked the statistical power to detect increases in filter performances between 2002-2003 and 2009-2010 (stated secondary objective).
The authors acknowledged that restricting to three general nephrology journals may have impacted the reference set. Nephrology-related research is published in a wide range of journals, including the following disciplines: transplantation, urology, general medicine journals. Therefore, the findings of this study may not be generalizable to diagnostic filter performance in other journals.
Within the reference set, the authors acknowledged an underrepresentation of transplant patients; an important patient group within nephrology.
The authors failed to provide a rationale for the selection of the three journals used to create the reference set.
Appraisal of: "Huang Y, Yang Z, Wang J, Zhuo L, Li Z, Zhan S. (2016). Performance of search strategies to retrieve systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy from the Cochrane Library. J Evid Based Med. 9: 77-83. Erratum in: J Evid Based Med 2017;10"
Performance of search strategies to retrieve systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy from the Cochrane Library.
The objective of this study was to assess the performance of nine diagnostic accuracy filters in retrieving systematic reviews (SRs) of diagnostic accuracy in Cochrane Library databases, specifically Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) and the Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE).
Study authors adapted SIGN's diagnostic studies filter (http://www.sign.ac.uk/search-filters.html), adding concepts of "accuracy measures" and "diagnosis" to create nine strategies. The reference set used to test filter performance in both CDSR and DARE was created using a strategy that combined all the terms used in the filters. Study authors also identified additional diagnostic accuracy studies to include by reviewing each record in CDSR under the topic of diagnosis.
Overall, filters containing the concept of "accuracy measures" achieved similar sensitivities as those containing "diagnosis" but demonstrated higher precision. Filters containing both concepts demonstrated the highest sensitivity.
The use of a highly sensitive strategy, which combined all terms being tested, to create the reference set likely overestimated the performance of other strategies and may have missed some relevant articles which did not contain the terms used in filters.
The focus of the study was the retrieval of systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy and not retrieval of primary studies. Authors acknowledged methodological filters are primarily designed to retrieve original studies.
Although the paper was published in 2016, the authors do not share with readers that although DARE is archived and can still be searched, it is no longer being updated (searches for systematic reviews ceased at the end of 2014; structured abstracts were published on DARE until March 31, 2015); The authors acknowledged that using diagnostic accuracy filters designed to retrieve primary studies is a limitation when compiling the set of relevant reviews. This means that this study's findings are not necessarily generalizable to filter performances for the retrieval of primary diagnostic accuracy studies.
Appraisal of:"Korevaar DA, Bossuyt PM, Hooft L. Infrequent and incomplete registration of test accuracy studies: analysis of recent study reports. BMJ Open. 2014 Jan 31;4(1):e004596. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2013-004596"
Infrequent and incomplete registration of test accuracy studies: analysis of recent study reports.
The aim of this study was to identify the proportion of recently published test accuracy studies which had been registered to evaluate whether registration had preceded study initiation and to assess whether registration included the published primary outcomes. The authors searched PubMed for primary studies evaluating the accuracy of tests or markers for screening, diagnosis, staging, monitoring, prediction or prognosis against a reference standard published in 536 high impact (>5) journals.
The authors identified 351 articles for inclusion of which 248 (71%) were diagnostic test accuracy studies and 103 (29%) were studies assessing prognostic tests. The authors identified 52 (15%) registered studies 27 of which included the registration number in the publication and 12 of which provided a reference to the publication in the registry. Of the studies that had been registered, 33% reported industry involvement; significantly more often than studies reporting another source of funding (11%), and studies without a (reported) source of funding (9%; p<0.001). Furthermore, 16/52 (31%) studies (5% of the total sample) had published primary outcomes before the study's completion while among a further 12 (23%) the published primary aim had been registered but was somewhat different or vague than was reported in the published results. The authors reported that overall, very few test accuracy studies published in high impact journals are registered and only one in 22 test accuracy studies register their primary outcomes before study completion. These findings raise questions regarding transparency and the potential for selective reporting within published test accuracy studies.
There were a number of limitations discussed by the study's authors, including the unknown registration status of 126/351 (36%) of the included studies due to author non-reply to email inquiries. The restriction of the search to journals with impact factor of ≥5 could have introduced bias as it is possible that studies published in high impact journals are more likely to register studies and this could have overestimated results. Though the search limited to studies published between May and June 2012, the sample may have included older studies conducted before the trend toward registering study protocols.
Authors limited search to published articles and did not search for unpublished reports.
Appraisal of: "Preston L, Carroll C, Gardois P, Paisley S, Kaltenthaler E. Improving search efficiency for systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy: an exploratory study to assess the viability of limiting to MEDLINE, EMBASE and reference checking."
Improving search efficiency for systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy: an exploratory study to assess the viability of limiting to MEDLINE, EMBASE and reference checking.
This exploratory study analysed a convenience sample of nine Health Technology Assessments (HTA) reviews of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) to identify which of the included citations were indexed on MEDLINE or EMBASE; to identify the number and proportion of citations that were retrieved by the search strategies with or without the addition of checking the reference lists of included studies.
Of the 302 included citations included in the nine reviews, 287 (95%) were indexed in MEDLINE and EMBASE. The reviews searches accounted for 256 (85%) of the included citations and a further 24 (8%) could be identified from the reference lists of included citations. 7% of the citations (22/302) were not found by searching or reference checking.
The proportion of citations identified using both searches of MEDLINE, and EMBASE and checking the reference lists resulted in the identification of 280/302 (93%) included studies. The authors suggest that there might be a case for restricting systematic review searches of DTA studies to MEDLINE, EMBASE and the reference lists of included studies.
The study's pragmatic, convenience sample of a small number of published DTA reviews was intended as an exploratory analysis only. The authors did not conduct an analysis to assess the impact of excluding the unidentified studies on the conclusions of the HTAs, so the results of the study are uncertain.
Six of the nine studies in the sample used a published filter for diagnostic studies, which is not recommended by Cochrane. This may have impacted the sensitivity of the searches and the sample not be representative of other DTA reviews.
Meta-epidemiologic analysis indicates that MEDLINE searches are sufficient for diagnostic test accuracy systematic reviews.
This paper describes an investigation into the impact of excluding studies which could not be retrieved from MDELINE on the summary relative diagnostic odds ratio of a diagnostic test accuracy systematic review. The authors identified ten reviews with 15 meta-analyses which also included searches of MEDLINE and at least one other database. The statistical analysis found that when removing studies available from databases other than MEDLINE that the summary estimates of sensitivity and specificity in the reviews remained almost unchanged. The authors conclude that restricting to studies indexed in MEDLINE did not influence the summary estimates of the meta-analyses in the 10 reviews and it might be acceptable where resources are limited to restrict searches to MEDLINE.
The authors noted that a more restrictive search might miss relevant studies and decrease the power of the meta-analysis. The authors also acknowledge that searching additional databases may yield records which, while available in MEDLINE, were not retrieved by specific searches. The number of included meta-analyses was small and those that were selected were from higher impact journals. The authors would have liked to have investigated search strategies in more detail but these were not reported in full in many reviews. They were unable to rerun the search strategies in the reviews and had to run known-item searches which have the disadvantage that we do not know how the original searches performed.
The authors do describe the limitations of known-item searching but do not mention this until the discussion.


If you are just following us, we are doing a design challenge where each one of the 3A designers have to create a nursery around the same artwork. It has been fun seeing how each of us are differently inspired by the featured Gingiber artwork.
When starting my designs, the first pieces I selected were the cribs, since they tend to be the main focus of a nursery. My go to vendor for great children's furniture is Land of Nod. They have a beautiful selection of cribs ranging in different styles. As a neutral backdrop, the paint color for both designs is Benjamin Moore's Silver Satin.
For my boy's nursery, I was going for a cabin look which I think the light fixture and rocker lends itself to. The book shelf is another Land of Nod find and is great for holding both books and toys. My heart was set on a navy buffalo check crib skirt but since I could not find one, I found fabric that could be used to make a custom one.
For my girl's nursery I decided to go with a muted feminine look. I love the shape of this Jenny Lind crib and paired it with a light fixture that picks up on the circular shapes. I kept the furniture neutral and brought in pink through the accessories. To create more interest, we always recommend to not purchase a complete bedding set. In this design, the crib sheet is from an Etsy vendor and the skirt is from Land of Nod. I love how it turned it out! If you are interested in any of the items, the links are below.
