Africa shoulders a crippling share of the world's disease burden and millions of lives are lost prematurely due to poor health and disease. In addition to the heavy cost to human life, the toll caused by disease is also holding back the continent's economic development – a healthy population has a positive impact on the economy of a country.
Achieving better health needs more outstanding African-led health research, and better translation of that research into healthcare policy and practice.
The Africa Research Excellence Fund (AREF) was established by the UK Medical Research Foundation to invest in talented, emerging researchers in Africa. We nurture sub-Sahara African health research at its most vulnerable points by supporting and developing early-career researchers.
Our vision is growing the community of African researchers who will deliver excellent research in Africa, for Africa.
Growing the next generation of potential research leaders will help institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa increase their capability to carry out excellent research. This will help inform health care practitioners and policy makers, and ultimately will benefit patients and populations across the continent and globally.
With your support, we will improve health and save lives in Africa.

Police arrested a 24-year-old Worcester woman on Friday afternoon, Feb. 9, for allegedly crashing into a parked police car at Main and Chatham streets.
Police were responding to a disturbance call at 531 Main St. when they were told a car had crashed into one of the cruisers. The officers saw that a blue Ford Escape had smashed head-on into the driver's door of one of the cruisers.
The officers rushed toward the Ford and observed the woman slumped over in the driver's seat and all the doors locked. One of the officers smashed a rear window to gain entry.
Officers saw several hypodermic needles in the car. Believing the driver was suffering from an apparent heroin overdose, police administered several doses of Narcan. The driver, Melissa Cain of 24 Brooks St., was taken to a local hospital for observation.
She was arrested and charged with operating a motor vehicle negligently so as to endanger, and operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs. After treatment, she was released to police custody and transported to police headquarters.
At about 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 10, Holden Police requested K9 assistance in searching for a missing youth who threatened themselves harm.
Several residents reported sightings in the Main Street area. State Police Trooper Andy Martindell deployed K9 Tucker, who tracked down the youth at Domino's Pizza on Main Street.
The youngster was taken to a local hospital for observation.
At about 8:15 p.m. Feb. 9, State Police arrested a man in Worcester on gun and drug charges.
Trooper Evan Brent was on patrol with his Field Training Officer, Trooper Jeremiah Dwyer, when he observed a 2003 Infiniti I35 traveling on Southbridge Street commit motor vehicle violations. The troopers stopped the car and determined the driver, a 25-year-old Worcester man, was driving with a suspended license.
The driver was placed under arrest and, during a motor vehicle inventory, troopers found a .40-caliber Glock pistol with a high-capacity magazine and a quantity of substances believed to be concentrated THC and marijuana.
The driver was booked on a total of six gun and drug charges.
A 29-year-old Worcester man was ordered held without bail after being arraigned Feb. 13 in Worcester District Court for murder in the beating death of David Carlson last summer, according to Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.
Carlson, 53, was found dead on July 25 in his burned-out home at 12 Halmstead St. He had significant head and facial injuries, and the lower part of his body was burned.
Brayan Flores of 197 Vernon St., Apt. 1, was arrested on charges of assault and battery causing serious bodily injury and was being held on $50,000 bail. He was charged with murder after the state office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that Carlson died of blunt force trauma to the head and neck.
The case is continued to March 8, and the death is being investigated by Worcester Police.
About about 9:15 p.m. Friday, Feb. 9, Worcester Police responded to Frank's Bar, 274 Shrewsbury St., for an assault that involved a handgun.
The victim, a 54-year-old man, said he was drinking with the suspect at Frank's. The suspect and another man followed the victim outside, walked away and returned, then pulled a gun from his coat pocket and pointed it at the victim.
While police spoke with the victim, the suspect, later identified as Charles Jensen, 28, of 54 Raymond St. left the bar.
Police said Jensen did not have the gun, but another bar patron gave information that led to the retrieval of the gun in a purse of a woman in the bar.
Jensen was arrested and charged with multiple weapons-related charges.
Matthew Pye, accused of killing a man during a 2015 drug deal, was sentenced to 15 to 17 years in state prison on Feb. 9 after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter, according to Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.
Assistant District Attorney Christopher P. Hodgens said Pye and Jeffrey Johnson met Simon Holley and Shane Bennett in a yard adjacent to the apartments at 10 Newbury St. The plan was to sell a pound of marijuana to Pye for $2,600.
Holley and Bennett pulled handguns on Pye, and while they were going through Pye's wallet, Pye pulled a handgun from his belt and fired at least one shot, according to Hodgens. Bennett was shot and later died. Holley sustained a hand wound.
Worcester Superior Court Judge Janet Kenton-Walker sentenced Pye to 15 to 17 years for manslaughter, 12 to 15 years for possession of a firearm while an armed career criminal, and 15 to 17 years for armed assault with intent to murder. The sentences on the last two charges will be served at the same time as the sentence for manslaughter.
Holley and Johnson are awaiting trial.
About 2 a.m. Friday, Feb. 9, Worcester Police responded to a ShotSpotter activation near 64 Jackson St.
Officers found several pieces of evidence in the area. An area resident said his window was struck with one round that was embedded into a ceiling support beam.
Police have limited information about a suspect or potential target or motive.
A 2015 Chevrolet Silverado struck a pedestrian on Wednesday night, Feb. 7, near 107 Chandler St.
The 36-year-old male pedestrian was conscious and alert and complaining of head, neck and lower back pain. Worcester EMS took him to a local hospital for treatment, and he was listed in stable condition.
The operator of the Silverado remained at the scene and spoke with investigators.
The preliminary investigation by the Crash Reconstruction Unit indicated that the vehicle was traveling west on Chandler Street from Main Street. As the truck passed Golden Pizza, the pedestrian walked in between two parked cars and into the right side westbound travel lane.
The impact sent the pedestrian up and on to the hood and into the windshield. He rolled off the Chevrolet and came to rest in the westbound lane of Chandler Street.

The Associated Press, to me, just keeps on getting more and more suspicious-looking, the more I observe them.
I've already reported on their connection to George Soros.
The other day we learned that the AP claims to have done an "extensive investigation" and has concluded that, although the infamous ClimateGate emails are nasty-sounding, it doesn't hurt the science. Oh, balderdash! The AP is, no doubt, engaging in political spin!
To me, the number of big, on-side players in ClimateGate is nothing short of staggering, astonishing, surreal. Not to mention, I believe, historically unprecedented in magnitude.
NOW we've got this.

Marcel Kittel will not ride Tour de France
By Sadhbh O'Shea 25 June 2015
German's fitness is not up to scratch after illness

Marcel Kittel of Germany receives the leaders yellow jersey after winning stage one of the Tour of Britain in Liverpool City Centre.
Marcel Kittel will not ride this year's Tour de France as his fitness level is not yet sufficient following a long illness. The German, who won four stages of the 2014 Tour and had a stint in the yellow jersey, has been struggling with his fitness since falling ill after the Tour Down Under in January.

Marcel Kittel's Tour de France chances on the rise after good result in Rund um Köln
Kittel motivated for the Tour de France after Ster ZLM Toer test
"Of course I am disappointed about not participating in the Tour de France this year. But I will have to look ahead and focus on new goals," said Kittel. He added further detail on his website: "Not being nominated is without doubt the most difficult time of my career. The forced pause this spring was already not easy. Although there were times I wanted to just throw in the towel, I tried to stay strong and find a way. This is just another blow to me, that I didn't earn my team's trust for a Tour nomination. It is not a good situation but on the other hand, instructive. I will learn to cope with it and thereby I will also grow.
Kittel has hardly raced this season, completing just 19 days of racing so far. After racing in Australia, and winning the opening criterium race, he rode the Tour of Qatar but failed to feature in any of the bunch sprints. After a long lay-off period, Kittel returned to racing at the Tour de Yorkshire but abandoned less than 100 kilometres into the first stage. He completed his first race at the World Ports Classic at the end of May and received a confidence boost with sixth place at the Rund um Köln.
Kittel had hoped to prove his form at the Ster ZLM Toer but did not feature on any of the sprint finishes won by André Greipel and Moreno Hofland. The Giant-Alpecin team has decided that his fitness level is not good enough to tackle the three-week long Tour de France, opting for a different final nine-rider line-up.
"He was ill during the spring and then Marcel and our coaches and trainers worked really hard in a short time to really improve his level and get him at a good point. In that period, a lot of progression has been made but the time was too short ultimately," Giant-Alpecin team manager Iwan Spekenbrink told Cyclingnews. "If we look to how he has increased his level, his sprints are already at a good level but what we mostly fear is that his basic fitness is too fragile at the moment."
"It's a major disappointment for Marcel himself but also for the team and everybody around the team. He's been very successful for us over the past few years and a rider with such a special talent you wish to see at the Tour de France."
Kittel made his debut at the Tour de France back in 2012 but was forced to abandon on stage five after suffering with a stomach problem during the early stages. His return to the race a year later was much more fruitful as he stormed to the opening stage to earn himself a day in yellow. He went on to claim three more sprint victories and ended Mark Cavendish's run of wins on the Champs-Élysées. He had a repeat performance last year and would have been expected to be a big sprint contender had he made it into the line-up.
While the loss of Kittel is a blow for the team, they said that they could not take any risks. "The Tour de France is a hard race and a very high level race… We have to look how much the overall makes the team stronger or weaker," explained Spekenbrink. "There is a risk that he could have to leave the Tour early and that would weaken the chances of his teammates."
It is not clear where Kittel will race next and he is due to sit down with the team to plan his programme for the second half of the season.
The Tour starts in Utrecht on Saturday, July 4.

Book Review: Britain's Dragonflies
July 19, 2014 by Calvin Jones 1 Comment
Dragonflies and damselflies are the all-stars of the insect world. Large, mobile, active predators — with the possible exception of cephalopods (octopuses, cuttlefish and squid) the odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) are about as exciting as invertebrates get.
In Ireland we have 11 species of damselfly and 22 species of dragonfly, and while identifying some of them is relatively straightforward if you get a reasonable views, others can be challenging. That's where a good field guide comes into its own.
Britain's Dragonflies: A field guide to the damselflies and dragonflies of Britain and Ireland by Dave Smallshire and Andy Awash is the only comprehensive photographic field guide of its kind. Published as part of the "Wild Guides" series by Princeton University Press, this fully revised and updated 3rd edition is crammed full of superb photographs and detailed information designed to do one thing: help you identify the dragonflies and damselflies you see out in the field.
It covers all 56 resident, migrant and former breeding species recorded in Britain and Ireland along with seven potential vagrant species to look out for. More than 450 full colour photographs and 550 illustrations show adult males, females and immature individuals for each species, including any colour variations you're likely to encounter.
At the start of the book there's a sizeable section covering dragonfly biology, life cycle, preferred habitats and tips on how to watch and photograph dragonflies effectively in the field. That's followed by a very useful summary on how to go about identifying dragonflies, including key features to note, with clearly labelled photographs detailing the pertinent bits of dragonfly anatomy and explaining the terminology you need to know. There are also some very handy ID charts showing key identification features of different dragonfly groups side-by-side for quick comparison, and then the book gets to the individual species accounts.
Like any good field guide these focus on leading you to an accurate identification. Each species is given a double-page spread, with stunning colour photographs on the right, and detailed information including a distribution map, flight times, illustrations of key ID features, descriptive ID text and notes on behaviour, breeding habitat and population and conservation information for the species. The book is well laid out, and presents information in a very user-friendly way — making it easy to look up species either in the field or from photographs when you get home.
The combination of ID charts and the detail offered in the individual species accounts work really well together, and make identifying the species you see quite straightforward, given good views. Perhaps just as important — particularly for the dragonfly novice or improver — is the advice on the key ID features to focus on for the different dragonfly groups. For the inexperienced it's all too easy to overlook a feature in the field, only to find out later it's the only diagnostic characteristic to secure an unequivocal identification. By following the advice in the guide you learn what to look out for when, improving your dragonfly identification skills.
Once you've mastered the adults, there's a "bonus section" at the back of the book all about identifying dragonfly and damselfly larvae and exuviae… but that's a whole new adventure that I've yet to embark on.
All in all this is an excellent book, and has certainly helped me get better at identifying the dragonflies and damselflies I've encountered in Ireland so far this summer. If you're interested in improving your own dragonfly ID skills, and want to learn more about this fascinating group of insects, I'd certainly recommend adding this title to your wildlife bookshelf.

Dragon Quest 1
I've taken a break from programming activities while also contemplating a possible split. The roguelike game on one side, and a reworked program that I could use simply to draw maps (even to use with old-school games that need mapping). Both of these need a programming component I still have zero knowledge about: how to read/write stuff to a file, so that I can save/reload (including the possibility to draw a dungeon instead of simply generating it randomly). I'll get to it, eventually.
In the meantime I made a scheme of popular/classic JRPGs. Leaving aside the most recent entries on consoles. All the stuff in the chart can be emulated well on PC, so this is a list done for long-term preservation of these games, even if their respective hardware goes obsolete. The first number is the vote the game has on Gamefaqs (the site with enough votes to make them relevant), the next two numbers represent "hours of gameplay", giving an idea about how long on average each game requires to complete (goes from main story to main story + some extras), and the last number is the number of votes, useful to consider how popular the game is.
Then I considered the mad plan of playing all Dragon Quest games in their order. I like setting up similar Epic tasks. They can range across all media. Like burning through the Battlestar series (I did this in December) or all five seasons + movies of Babylon 5, reading the whole Solar Cycle by Gene Wolfe, or all the ten Thomas Covenant by Donaldson, or the Dune cycle by Herbert (or Malazan, obviously), play the whole Shin Megami Tensei series across the various titles, read the HUGE, continuous storyline that unified all Marvel comics from 2004 to 2010 (starts with Avengers Disassembled), read the DC-side of Epic task, all the Crisis starting from the first, including all tie-ins (like 52), or reading the Morrison epic long cycle on Batman, play the Amberstar/Ambermoon epic duology of games on the Amiga (or the insane "Fate: Gates of Dawn"), or play World of Xeen, or Wizardry VII on PC, read Infinite Jest or Gravity's Rainbow, watch all movies by Charlie Kaufman, study the Kabbalah (without spending one dollar), read the Chinese Epics like Three Kingdoms, or the five-volumes set of Dream of the Red Chamber (or the Japanese The Tale of Genji, or the Chinese erotic Jin Ping Mei, also in five volumes), or the historical 14 book cycle by Dorothy Dunnett, watch the critically acclaimed samurai trilogy of movies by Yoji Yamada (The Twilight Samurai, The Hidden Blade, Love and Honor, for a total of 6 hours and 20 minutes), watch or read all Once Piece, read Berserk, Eden, watch all Gundam and Macross series, or all Evangelion, watch all Haruhi Suzumiya in chronological order, learn to play the most hardcore wargames, watch all Kamen Rider series, watch in order the whole mytharc of X-files, or rewatch all Twin Peaks, or watch all Buffy, or Frasier, play/read the Nasuverse (includes Kara No Kyoukai series of seven animated movies), or the Muv-Luv series, or all of Umineko (80+ hours of "reading" on average), or better, first Higurashi and then Umineko, read all Sandman, play the Arkania trilogy of RPGs. And do not think this is even close to a complete list, I just got tired of adding stuff as I remember it.
Or study a programming language from zero and write a roguelike that consolidates 20 years of gaming in one game… All this just to say I enjoy setting up gargantuan, long-term tasks, and that's way it's absolutely required that I'm granted more than one life in order to do all I've planned. Just a reminder.
So last added to the list is playing these Dragon Quest games in sequence. The first three can be played on a SNES emulator and available in English thanks to some fan translations. The following three (4-5-6) make their own trilogy and re-released on the Nintendo DS, the 7th (probably the longest JRPG in existence) is on Playstation 1, the 8th on the PS2, and the 9th back on DS.
Putting some hours into Dragon Quest 1 has been quite interesting, and rather useful in the perspective of my roguelike. Playing old western RPGs is usually more annoying due to technical problems, glitches and general lack of ease of play, whereas the old JRPGs are technically "flawless" and essentially impossible to improve. The only difference with the modern ones is that their design is "scaled down". And this makes them extremely interesting because it's like seeing the building blocks directly. All following generations of JRPGs are simply about dressing up and adding parts.
Dragon Quest 1 plays flawlessly and is at the same time elegant and simplistic. There's no party, just a single character to manage, you are given a bland mission, exit the first castle made of an handful of rooms, and are already on your own. The basic formula of the game is built as an economic system. Most of the game is played right on the world map, divided into zones, where you fight random encounters while you gravitate around towns. The most important "currency" the economic system is based on is the Hit Points. The more random encounters you go through, the more HPs go down, obviously. If you have Magic Points and an Heal spell then you can restore the HPs, but they are just two layers of the same thing, since sooner or later you'll be out of MPs as well. The only way to restore both is to sleep at an Inn, and so go back to a village. During the fights on the world map you gain Gold, and with Gold you buy better equipment, pay the Inn, buy health potions. The difficulty and gameplay rises from the tension that is created by the need to be able to backtrack to a village (where you can restock), and the need to explore the world, so reach the next village, or go through a dungeon.
It's actually extremely easy to find oneself in a bad situation because those random encounters are extremely frequent and in order to reach the places you are meant to reach you have to travel far away from the safety of a town. This means you could frequently realize you're deep in a dungeon, lost (because dungeons are hard to navigate and the visibility extremely limited) and not likely to be able to backtrack quickly enough to a village. This economic system based on dwindling resources and the need to push further to reach a goal or find a new town instead of going all the way back comprises all gameplay the game offers. In villages you find a number of NPCs you can talk to, but they mostly offer a couple of lines of "flavor text", or some bland lore, or tips. But you don't have choices or quests being offered. The story doesn't go beyond the classic "save the princess, kill the bad guy". So what remains is going through the virtual tiers, leveling up to increase the HPs and MPs, gain enough gold to improve the equipment, which means being able to travel further away, so entering more dangerous areas that obviously scale along the player's own progress. Eventually you'll find a village where you can get special keys that open special doors in some dungeons. This is Dragon Quest 1.
What's interesting for me is that I could implement all of this, almost an exact copy, with my current programming skills in my roguelike. I could make an exact copy of this game because the mechanics are straightforward and easy to grasp. This is already a skeleton of a game. When it works you have a structure and the rest of the work is about adding detail and depth. Seeing it work as a simple economic system reveals what truly makes the totality of the game. What you play with. The rest is flavor and dressing up.
When you plan and write a roguelike you have millions of ideas and complex things you want to do. But planning this from the top down makes it look utterly IMPOSSIBLE to achieve, and discouraging. Instead if you look at it from the bottom up, then it will be revealed as simple and linear. You need to know where things are coming from, dig in the archaeology of games to understand how things worked, and then you can quickly ascend to reach those places that are in your goals.
I'm only a few hours into Dragon Quest but it was a revelatory and constructive experience. At some point I couldn't believe what I was seeing on screen:
I mean, finding a girl at a public bath that offers a "puff puff" for 20 gold? I had to search online to confirm my suspicion… And yeah, it's more or less how it looks. This thankfully preserved by the fan patch, since the original Dragon Warrior games in the west had that dialogue cut. You don't want kids asking their parents what's a "puff puff". I would have missed one famous and recurring gag of the Dragon Quest games ;)
By the way, I choose "Yes". I got a puff puff, and wasted my 20 gold. Then I did it again.

Trump Diverts Again: First Speech Honoring Veterans Was Not Actually About Veterans
In his first speech honoring veterans, Trump slammed the "fake media" hard for trying to "silence" his base. Trump also reminded the audience that the press tried to stop him from becoming the POTUS, but he won, and they lost.
"The fact is the press has destroyed themselves because they went too far,"
The president also said.
Trump's Speech Takes Awkward Turn
He thinks that the media's big mistake was that they weren't "smart" and "subtle." Instead, they "used the hatchet," so, people realized what their game was from the beginning. Trump also accused the country's press of pushing an "agenda" which is not the American people's agenda.
So, the address at the evangelical concert "Celebrate Freedom" was not really about the servicemen and servicewomen that sacrificed their lives for their country. It was about Trump's ongoing feud with the press.
Trump once said that the press was the "enemy of the American people." He accused it of running a campaign against him during the presidential race, and he usually dismisses coverage as "fake news" whenever is not to his liking.
Trump's attitude towards the press is unprecedented. He sometimes even calls to violence on the press and fails to understand what free speech is. He routinely describes reporters as "horrible human beings," "liars," "psychos," and "sleazy." But of course they cut all of that out in his official Tweet:
America's men & women in uniform is the story of FREEDOM overcoming OPPRESSION, the STRONG protecting the WEAK, & GOOD defeating EVIL!
USA?? pic.twitter.com/Gu3f8DCO3o
Trump Gets Physical with the Press
His attitude led to physical attacks. For instance, NBC correspondent Katy Tur asked for bodyguards because she feared for her physical integrity on the campaign trail. Journalists have called Trump an "unprecedented threat" to them and their profession.
In a recent video posted by the president on Twitter, Trump is seen wrestling a journalist wearing the CNN logo over his face. The footage is an edited video of a brief appearance of Trump at WrestleMania:

Connect & create a batch of loveliness.
I love to cook. I like to keep it really super simple and I love experimenting with things, feeling into what works with what. I have a knack for creating yummy simple meals that are super nourishing and uncomplicated. I'm always open to recipes suggestions too, hint hint!
I've recently started a new nightly routine of gently cleansing my face with a cleansing beauty balm and a warm face washer. Its a lovely way to finish my day and sets me up for my wind down before bed. Lately I have felt the pull to experiment and play with creating my own beauty products. Its like cooking a gorgeous meal but instead you are cooking up a beautiful concoction for your glorious face, yup it's definitely a super delish cook off!.
My first foray into handmade beauty products was a success but my favourite recipe so far is this divine "Beauty Balm," from Laura Hoy's delicious website "Essential Oils & You." It was super easy and so nourishing on my skin. Once I have finished this batch, I feel I may play around with some calendula infused almond oil for something a little calmingly different. That's the joy of creating your own products, you can tailor it to your skincare needs and pick what essentials oils you like, to create an array of gorgeous products. Let your creativity soar!
So why not have a play and create some gorgeous beauty products of your own and treasure the body you have.
Feel free to share what beauty products you have made lately let me know in the comments below. I would love to hear about your discoveries and journey.
Enjoy your time to just play.

Q: How can cellphones be charged and used at the same time? All of us are probably used to using our phones while they are charging. This is why manufacturers make longer cables – so that the consumer can have the facility of using and charging the question at the same time.
My question is this: Assuming a cellphone consists of battery with the 'phone' (camera, screen, etc) connected in series, how can we charge it (which would require that current flow in the opposite direction of the battery terminals – we were taught this in physics class – you need to apply a voltage more than that of the cell and in the opposite direction to charge it) and use it (which would require that the current flow in the same direction as battery terminals) at the same time.
My attempt: (two possible cases)

*

*The above thinking is wrong and somehow the manufacturers managed to use and charge the battery at the same time.

*While charging, the battery does not provide current at all and the current from the wall socket is divided into two currents – one for charging and one for operating the phone.

Which one of the above explanations is correct? Or, is there a third, more complicated explanation?

*

*If explanation #1 is correct – is this achieved in a simple way or do I need to get a degree in electrical engineering to understand this?

*If explanation #2 is correct – when the phone is being charged and used at the same time, the rate of charging is noticeably slower. Shouldn't the current drawn from wall socket be increased to make it charge at the same rate?

A: Explaination 2 is correct.  And your intuition about drawing more current from the wall socket is correct, but there's a step in between: the USB charging system.  There's hardware in the wall-wart which has to convert 120V AC power to the 5V DC power that USB uses (and thus is used to charge your phone).  That hardware could heat up and break (or even cause a fire) if too much power is drawn.  The designers of USB limit the current that can be drawn across a USB cable.  The initial spec limited you to 500mA of 5V current, though later upgrades to the USB specification permit the 1A and 2A "fast" chargers that we see today.  Regardless, the phone is not permitted to draw more power from the wall, even if it wanted to.
To meet these rules, the phones have regulatory hardware which ensure it doesn't draw more power than it is permitted to.  If it can't get enough power to do everything it wants, it will simply charge the battery more slowly.  In some extreme cases, with power hungry phones with GPS turned on and applications using the CPU, this can actually consume so much power that the battery doesn't get to charge at all!

A: Your explanation #2 of the process of charging while working is correct. A battery is either in charge mode, or in supply mode. This is achieved via complicated electronic circuitry containing analog switches and up-down DC-DC converters.
Regarding your concern about the rate of charging while working, the #2 is also valid. However, a phone knows that the supply (wall charger or else) has limited abilities, and simply can't draw more current than the charger can supply by a standard. The intelligent IC has a special means to restrain its current needs. The input current is split between system supply (used for phone functions), and battery charge.
One typical line of intelligent chargers used in portable devices is produced by Texas Instruments (formerly Benchmarq), the BQ2xxxxx line. Here is an example of typical block-level architecture of the BQ24296 IC

Now you need to decide yourself what kind of engineering profess is needed to make this kind of circuit.

A:
you need to apply a voltage more than that of the cell and in the opposite direction to charge it

No, you have to apply a voltage more than the voltage of the cell but in the same direction as the voltage the cell produces.

Getting back to the question of how devices can be used and charged at the same time.
The simplest approach is simply to connect the load, battery and charger output in paralell. If the charger produces more current than the device consumes then current flows into the battery. If the charger produces less current than the device consumes then current flows out of the battery.
Afaict this is what most phones do. It does have a couple of downsides though.

*

*Current taken by the device will reduce the current available to charge the battery. At peak currents the battery may even start to discharge with a charger connected.

*The device generally will not work without a battery connected. Lithium ion chargers have to have undervoltage protection for safety reasons. So if no battery is present the charger will detect an initial voltage on the battery of zero and will refuse to supply the system.

The other option is to have a bypass path that bypasses the battery completely. Afaict this is what most laptops do.

Note that the term "charger" in this post refers to the device that controls the charge voltage/current so that the battery is charged in a safe manner. In devices with lithium ion batteries this is nearly always built into a device. The external brick that users often reffer to as a "charger" is just a DC power supply.

A: Basically, the charging source, battery, and load are all connected in parallel.
If the charger supplies more current than the load requires, the excess current will be used to charge the battery.
If the load requires more current than the charger can supply, the battery will supply the excess.
While it is true that you cannot charge and discharge the battery at the same time, it "looks like" you are doing so, as the battery will change between charge and discharge automatically as the load demand or charging supply vary.

Our spiritual ancestors tell us that we don't need to try and attain enlightenment, all of us are already enlightened. In the absolute world where all separation isn't real, there is no one more enlightened than you or I. And there is no one less enlightened than you or I. This is no less true in the relative world, where separation appears real. However in the relative world of self and other, of joy and suffering, there are different layers of belief in our ideas about enlightenment and delusion. The veil hiding our inherent joy in the freedom of our true nature obviously appears much denser and solid in some of us than in others.
I was having a private discussion with senior dharma teacher Reb Anderson about this very topic some years ago. I mentioned that when contemplating how to further deepen others' realization, I was aware of a tendency to want to measure where I'm at, to measure how much can I be of help? He replied that right there, in that attachment to wanting is an attempt to unenlighten your Self. Sometimes it can be helpful to reframe our neurotic egotistical obsessions as attempts to unenlighten ourselves. This simply means we're deeply conditioned to continually attempting to control and interfere with the divine life force always living in and through us, calling us home. And clinging to these self conscious attempts is what obscures the clear realization of our inherent freedom; this clinging is an attempt to unenlighten ourselves.
These are big questions, and any conceptual answers I talk about here are only true for me, they are only true in my mind. And they are only true in the minds of you reading them. They won't necessarily be helpful to you. The main point for me is that it is important to be willing to more fully enter the questions, to allow ourselves to be more fully absorbed in the questions that are most relevant to each of us. This doesn't mean becoming fully absorbed in the conceptual content of the questions, but to become more fully absorbed in the actual life of the questions which is free of all conceptual content. Excessively clinging to the conceptual content of our deep questioning is an attempt to deaden the aliveness of the questioning, an attempt to deaden the aliveness of our spiritual inquiry. We learn to allow the questions to stay fully alive by gradually learning to allow the aliveness of our yearning, the joy and sorrow, and trusting that our aliveness of inquiry IS divine spirit calling us home.
It is usually much easier for us to welcome our joy than it is to welcome our grief that comes up from absorbing ourselves in the aliveness of the big questions. We learn that attempting to cover up and deny our suffering will eventually lead to rude awakenings, and the more energy we put into denial, the more frequent and ruder the awakenings become. When we learn to be willing to embrace our grief, by just offering it to the mystery, offering to a higher power, we begin to realize that the deepest root of of our suffering is a profound sadness from the overall felt sense of being separate from our natural expression of unconditional love and acceptance. We begin to deeply realize that underneath all of our neurotic desires, is the desire for wholeness, our deepest desire is the desire for the innate wholeness we actually already are.
But if your attention remains directed towards the shore, you cannot proceed – after bathing you will return home. If your aim is the Supreme, the Ultimate, you will be led on by the movement of your true nature. There are waves that carry away, and waves that pull back. Those who can give themselves up, will be taken by Him. In the guise of the wave (sometimes in the wave of deep grief, sometimes in the wave of deep joy) She holds out her hand and calls you, come Come COME!
The morning of September 11th 2001 is a day that all Americans remember where they were, and what they were doing when they heard the news that our nation was under attack. I was in a hospital room with my three day old first born child Nicky, getting ready to take him home for the very first time. Of course normally this would be a wonderfully joyous occasion, a lighthearted initiation into the rites of parenthood, a celebration of a new life for our family in the sanctuary of our home. The trauma of the shock of that morning easily comes back to me every September 11th since that day. I remember helping my wife into the car as she carried Nicky for the short drive home. Two and a half hours after the attacks, the Fort Lauderdale atmosphere was dark, deathly still, and oppressively humid. I felt like I was getting into a hearse instead of going to host a blissful coronation.
The question still arises, what could this mean for our lives that such a horrific event happened right in the midst of such an important event for us? My spiritual training has taught me not to get so caught in pondering the conceptual meaning of things; all things, all experiences are only true in the mind. Adyashanti said there is no such thing as a true thought. However perhaps almost all of us human beings experience at some point the profound transformative potential when shocked with the realization that the fear of the suffering of death arises together with the blissful arrival of new life from the deepest depths of the mystery of life. Death is part of life, and suffering is part of love.
There is a movie, Shadowlands, about C.S. Lewis, the famous Christian preacher, Oxford professor, and author of children's books, that is very moving for me. He was a very deep thinker. In one of his literature classes, he talks of perfect love being perfect because of its unattainability. "The most intense love lies not in the having of it, but in the very intense desiring of it. Delight that never fades, bliss eternal, is only yours when what you most desire is forever out of reach." In his sermons he preached that God wants us to suffer, for it is in our suffering that we learn to desire perfect love, love that we imagine is separate from and not part of suffering. He says this is how God teaches us that he wants us to learn to love and be loved in our deep desire for perfect love.
He meets his future wife, and her love for him reveals to her his deep childhood fear of love and suffering after his mother's death when he was 7. She clearly intuits his defensiveness in his brilliance, and unconscious sense of superiority that alienates him from opening to an intimate relationship with her. It is only when she is stricken with advanced terminal bone cancer that he realizes she is the love of his life. They are married while she's confined to bed, and then she goes into remission. However the doctors caution that this won't last.
When she dies, he's quite angry and is forced to face his deep fear of the pain of loss. It's so painful that initially he is unable to console his step son who has just lost his mother at age 7 as he did. Finally they have a deeply cathartic cry together, and he fulfills his commitment to look after him after her death.

est un film américain réalisé par Richard Thorpe, sorti en 1938.

Synopsis
Mimi Swift, la fille de la romancière Meg Swift, est amoureuse du playboy Alan Wythe. Bien que l'ami de Meg, le dessinateur de presse Jimmy Kilmartin, essaye d'avertir Mimi qu'Alan ne cherche que l'argent et du bon temps, Mimi est toute secouée quand elle reçoit un télégramme l'invitant à être demoiselle d'honneur à son mariage avec l'héritière Elizabeth Kent. Mimi assiste au mariage, souhaitant du bonheur au  couple, mais elle s'enivre et elle dit secrètement à Alan de rester le plus éloigné d'elle possible. Cette nuit-là, Jimmy retrouve Mimi dans un bar et lui dit d'oublier Alan. Sa mère est d'accord et l'aide à obtenir un appartement et un travail comme illustratrice dans le journal où travaille Jimmy. Plusieurs mois plus tard, Mimi est contente de son travail et a gagné le respect de Jimmy. Quand Alan et Elizabeth reviennent de leur lune de miel, Mimi se rend à la soirée de crémaillère qu'ils organisent. Elle demande à Alan de devenir amis. Cette idée plait à Alan et il l'invite à un match de boxe quelques jours plus tard. Meg et Jimmy, qui assistent aussi au combat, observent Mimi et Alan et sont inquiets pour Mimi. Le jour suivant elle leur avoue qu'elle aime toujours Alan et qu'elle souhaite qu'il divorce pour se remarier avec elle. Elle appelle aussi Elizabeth et lui dit qu'elle est toujours amoureuse d'Alan. Le soir même, Elizabeth encourage Alan à sortir seul. Il se rend à l'appartement de Mimi. Elizabeth arrive bientôt après et dit à Mimi qu'Alan est trop égoïste pour aimer quelqu'un. Quand Elisabeth part, Alan dit à Mimi qu'Elizabeth a raison et retourne auprès de sa femme. Mimi se précipite chez Jimmy. Pour lui changer les idées, Jimmy propose à Mimi une longue balade en voiture jusqu'à la maison de Meg à Long Island au cours de laquelle ils scellent leur « amitié ». Quand ils parlent à Meg de leur nouvelle amitié, Meg sourit et leur fait comprendre qu'ils sont amoureux depuis le début. Le film se finit sur un échange de baisers.

Neal Ardley has confirmed that Ade Azeez has returned to full training ahead of tomorrow's game against Stevenage and he is pleased with the current strength of his squad.
Azeez (pictured) suffered a thigh injury playing for the development side against Southend, but he joined in full training yesterday and will therefore add to the manager's forward options.
Though it's too early for Andy Barcham and James Shea to make the frame, both have trained all week and could feature in the Final Third Development League match against Cambridge on Monday.
With youngsters David Fitzpatrick and Egli Kaja both pushing for places in the squad after fine displays for the Under-21s, Neal Ardley is pleased with the options at his disposal.
Speaking during an interview for Dons Player, Neal Ardley said: "Ade has trained after doing a lot of work with Stuart Douglas earlier in the week. James and Andy have trained as well and that's lifted everyone to have good players back. They are not quite at the levels required yet, but hopefully they will play for the Under-21s on Monday.
"It's good now because when you look around we also have David Fitzpatrick, who played really well for the Under-21s on Monday after returning from his loan spell and Egli Kaja has also trained well. The levels have gone back up now and that can only be good.
Stevenage visit the Cherry Red Records Stadium tomorrow defending a five-match unbeaten run, though they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Yeovil Town last weekend.
In his first season as manager, former England international Teddy Sheringham has gradually engineered improvement after a difficult start and Neal Ardley has been impressed with his work in the loan market.
However, the Dons will be eager to make an impression after a two-week spell without a game.
"We have done a bit of everything in training and last week we did a lot of fitness work," added Neal. "We tried to freshen the players up at the weekend and we've also put sessions on as a team with players taking responsibility for composing themselves and taking our chances. We feel we have got the balance right and there will be no excuses. Hopefully, it will all come together and we will put in a good performance on Saturday.
Neal's full five-minute update featured on Dons Player yesterday and an interview with Dannie Bulman will be on our premium channel later on.

Q: Where are my promela syntax errors? I seem to be too stupid to see it. The log shows me where my syntax errors are (line 12, 22 and 25), I read some tutorials, but cannot find the errors..
The program is very simple, it should count the amount of 0's and 1's through a synchronized channel.
Here is my code:
1
2   chan ch = [0] of {bool};
3   byte zero, one;
4   bool message;
5
6   proctype A() {
7   startA:
8   if
9   :: ch ! 0
10  :: ch ! 1
11  fi
12  goto startA
13  }
14
15  proctype B() {
16  startB:
17  ch ? message;
18  if
19  :: message -> one++
20  :: ! message -> zero++
21  fi
22  goto startB
23  }
24
25  init { atomic {run A(); run B()} }

And my syntax errors:
spin: firstchannel.pml:12, Error: syntax error  saw 'keyword: goto' near 'goto'
spin: firstchannel.pml:22, Error: syntax error  saw 'keyword: goto' near 'goto'
spin: firstchannel.pml:25, Error: proctype A not found

I'd be happy for a tip..

A: Turns out, I need semicolons after the if statements.

At Bristol Hospital, the top executive came down with COVID-19. He's the face of recovery
By Hartford Courant
As president of Bristol Hospital, Kurt Barwis spent March 27 reviewing preparations for the coronavirus wave, double-checking that his 1,700 employees were doing everything possible to keep themselves healthy.
That night, he noticed he had a sore throat and congestion. The next day he developed a piercing headache, and by the next week, a test confirmed he had the virus.
"When I got the test, I still thought it was a cold, allergies — I thought I was good to go," Barwis recalled. "When it came back positive, I was like 'OK, this is not good.' Honestly, I felt a little embarrassed."
Barwis suffered just a short, mild illness, recuperating so quickly that he went back to work at the hospital late last week. For some employees, he has become a face of recovery during a time when COVID-19 is starting to hit Hartford County hard.
"One thing I find impressive about him is he really knows his employees — you'll see him in the cafeteria at lunch, he'll sit with you and talk about things," said ICU nurse Igra Abbas. "Our relationship with him is really special. Hearing he had it, we were all shocked and worried. Now everyone's so happy for him that he's back."
Her colleague, Christine Ieronimo, who has worked in the ICU for 26 years, agreed.
"He's a very visible leader, he actually just stopped by to see how we're doing. We're all happy he's back," Ieronimo said. "To see people get better is a huge morale booster. In the ICU, so far we've been able to remove two people from ventilators. People who will recover. That's what keeps us going."
So far, six COVID-19 patients at the hospital have died, so good news and recoveries are at a premium.
"There are these little rays of sunshine," Abbas said. "Today we had a patient — he had been really ill and intubated, now he's doing better and being transferred out. He got extubated. He was wheeled out in a wheelchair, we were all clapping for him, we were ecstatic."
Barwis said he's grateful that his case was mild.
"I feel blessed. I'm 100% recovered. Maybe the antibodies are kicking in, but I feel like I could run a marathon at this point," he said.
Barwis and his senior medical team were ahead of the curve in Connecticut with many coronavirus preparations.
Bristol Hospital was the first to institute strict rules limiting visitors, and was the third in Connecticut to open a drive-up COVID-19 test center. Emergency room staff were trying to conserve face masks and gowns as early as February. Barwis himself had ended in-person staff meetings, and was an early promoter of social distancing.
So when he went for a test on the morning of March 30, Barwis expected he would be OK.
"That was Monday. On Friday night, I had a sore throat and some coughing, but what made it different than a regular cold was the terrible headache. It was nonstop and I couldn't get rid of it," Barwis said. "I got the chills over the weekend, I felt weak. I knew I couldn't walk through the door of the hospital feeling that way Monday morning, so I called the emergency department director and went through the symptoms. He said to get a test."
The hospital had just started a test agreement with Jackson Labs, and Barwis' test came back within a day.
Barwis said his first feeling was embarrassment.
"I liken this to maybe 20 years ago, when I went to play paintball with my wife's cousins in New Jersey. I'd never played paintball — we started crawling in the pine barrens, and no more than 10 seconds into the game a paintball hit me in the mouth," he said. "Ten seconds, I'm done. That's how I felt getting COVID-19 right as it all started to crank up."
Barwis, 61, essentially moved into the second floor of his house to protect his wife, who had undergone major surgery in January. In the next few days, he suffered night sweats and severe chills, and toward the end of that week, lost his sense of smell and taste. He thought about a few of the more disturbing COVID-19 accounts.
"I thought about the story of one man in Waterbury who was young, in his 40s, he had some minor conditions but otherwise he was healthy, productive, working, had a family and kids. And he passed," Barwis said. "I remember thinking to myself 'this could go in the other direction ... do I have everything prepared, is everything in order?' "
He said he stayed focused by working from home, conducting a daily series of phone, Google Hangouts and Zoom meetings. Barwis, who had taken on the additional role of chief financial officer, directed staffing decisions and spent hours studying details of government programs to give financial relief to hospitals.
"When I lost taste and smell, I thought I was getting worse. You can't help but have those feelings," he said. "My answer was to work through it. You try to focus on the things you can help with. I looked through the relief money information thinking, how do we make it to the other side? This hospital is coming up on its 100th anniversary — it would be just horrible if we lost this organization because we couldn't make it."
In between work, Barwis fielded get-well calls from Gov. Ned Lamont and Richard Pollack, head of the American Hospital Association.

The Hour of Decision, published in 1934, was a bestseller, but was later banned by the Nazis for its critiques of National Socialism. Spengler's criticisms of liberalism were welcomed by the Nazis, but Spengler disagreed with their biological ideology and anti-Semitism. While racial mysticism played a key role in his own worldview, Spengler had always been an outspoken critic of the pseudoscientific racial theories professed by the Nazis and many others in his time, and was not inclined to change his views upon Hitler's rise to power. Although himself a German nationalist, Spengler also viewed the Nazis as too narrowly German, and not occidental enough to lead the fight against other peoples. The book also warned of a coming world war in which Western Civilization risked being destroyed, and was widely distributed abroad before eventually being banned in Germany.

Without action NUJ could be insolvent by October
By Andrew Pugh Twitter
Union has just three weeks of running costs in the bank
'Sitting back and doing nothing is not an option', says General Secretary
Plans to make nine NUJ staff redundant
Pension deficit could range from anywhere between £500,000 to £4m
NUJ members fear office closure could 'compromise future' of regional daily
Iran issues new threats to snatch BBC Persian journalists from streets of London, warns NUJ
Nine in ten freelance journalists missing out on holiday pay could be entitled to it, says union
Subscriptions could increase by 5 per cent
The NUJ is facing a 'severe financial crisis'and could run out of money and become insolvent by October, general secretary Michelle Stanistreet has warned.
Press Gazette understands that the union's National Executive Committee met this afternoon and voted through a series of cutbacks which include nine redundancies.
In a document sent to National Executive Council members this week, which has been seen by Press Gazette, Stanistreet said the union had been hit by a 'perfect storm" of falling income and rising costs – warning that as things stand the union has around £300,000 in cash, which amounts to just three weeks of running costs.
With monthly deficits averaging more than £20,000, the overall deficit at the end of February was £267,000, meaning that unless immediate action is taken "this money will run out in October and the union would be insolvent".
'There has been no single overnight event that has brought us to this position,'said Stanistreet,
'The fact that there has been no positive uplift in the industry's fortunes, and therefore our members'; the continued pressure on our budgets and unresolved deficits in some areas; the drop in subs income in the first half of this budget, 3 per cent more than the 2 per cent decline budgeted; the depletion of our assets and reserves in the wake of successive deficits; and the crisis in our pension scheme – all of these things bring us to the position we are in today, and this combination of factors mean we have to take action.
'Sitting back and doing nothing is not an option."
New data on membership statistics, meanwhile, has revealed an 18 per cent drop in overall membership figures over the past five years.
Stanistreet warned: 'After the audit of this year's accounts takes place following year end in September, NEC members have to formally declare their belief that the union will remain a going concern.
'If comprehensive action is not taken, the stark reality is that members of the NEC would not be able to make that declaration to our auditors."
Redundancies
In a bid to cuts costs and ensure staff costs make up no more than 45 per cent of total subscription income, the union aims to make around nine redundancies out of its 47 staff.
Stanistreet said the aim was to cut £400,000 from staff costs and incorporate this into the 2012/13 budget.
She concluded: 'I ask all members of the NEC to take on board and carefully consider the scale of the crisis facing our union. This is clearly a difficult time for NUJ staff. Nobody – not anyone on Finance or the NEC, and certainly not me as GS, wants to be in the position of making redundancies.
'However the only priority there can be is ensuring the union's future for our members. Standing back and watching the inexorable slide into insolvency is not an option.
'Only by acting together now and addressing the urgent financial crisis by making cuts and putting in place changes that will allow us to rebuild our reserves in the future, will we ensure the NUJ can continue as an independent trade union and set us on a path to a genuinely sustainable future – a goal I have no doubt that our membership expects us to meet.'
The union will meet with its bank Unity Trust next week to discuss its financial situation and to show it has a 'clear plan of action for tackling this crisis and setting the union on the path to sustainability".
A major problem for the union has been the impact of the financial crisis on members and subscriptions income.
While it budgeted for a 2 per cent year on year decline, the figure is now closer to 5 per cent, with the 'likelihood that this decline will continue given the ongoing difficulties in our industry".
The union also has a major pension deficit, which Stanistreet said could range from anywhere between £500,000 to £4m.
She said: "The reality of the current financial situation means that the employer covenant in the pensions fund is weakened.
'This would consequentially mean the ultimate deficit would be in the higher threshold as that has to be factored in when agreeing the assumptions on any valuation.'
She added: 'The pension trustees have been updated on our declining financial situation and I have made clear that there is no new money available to plug any future deficits."
The scheme is 'not sustainable and is an additional major threat to our future financial stability", she said, adding that the union needed to begin a formal consultation process with staff about 'fundamental change".
The union is now planning for a 10 per cent decline in subs income, and aims to build up its cash reserves from the current three weeks to six months.
That gives it a target of £2.5m – meaning £250,000 needs to be budgeted and put into reserves every year for the next decade.
It will also look to increase subscriptions by 5 per cent, a price rise of between 15 and 26p a week (15p per week for grade 1, 19p per week for grade 2 and 26p per week for grade 3).
Putting forward this motiong to NEC delegates Stanistreet saidf 'we need to be able to demonstrate that our approach has been one of shared pain and that the union has made the necessary cuts and is committed to turning this crisis around with a recovery plan".
In order to focus on 'core industrial work'the union will also aim to scrap union-funded professional training activities.
Instead, training contracts could be put out to tender or administered and delivered by the General Federation of Trade Unions on behalf of the NUJ.
It also wants to establish a 'Recruitment Task Force'to grow its subscription income.
Union's protection is needed by journalists now more than ever before
The NUJ said in a statement: "Leaders of Britain's journalists have adopted a programme of measures to protect the National Union of Journalists against the impact of the recession on the media industry and continue the effectiveness of the NUJ in defending member's interests.
"The NUJ National Executive Council (NEC) today (Friday 25 May) agreed a strategy including cuts across all areas of union expenditure, including provision for staff redundancies, in order to meet problems being caused by a fall in union income, rising costs and the challenging industrial environment."
NUJ General Secretary Michelle Stanistreet added: 'This is not the first time the NUJ has had to take decisive action to deal with financial difficulties. Previous solutions to falling income, resulting from a fall in employment in our industries, have sustained us until now.
'But we are conscious that if we are to plan responsibly for the future of the union, and the members whom we serve, we need a comprehensive strategy which involves managing expenditure and practising good housekeeping while continuing to provide the service to NUJ members which they are entitled to expect.
'As an immediate priority we will be extending the union's activities and membership across all sectors of the industry where the union's protection is needed by journalists now more than ever before."

We've just started on another classic BMW Coupe. This one is a German market LHD 3.0 CSi. The car was in pretty good condition overall. We found a little rust in the out sills and the front passenger footwell. Rust removed, we are putting a new set of outer sills on the car and a new floor pan. The existing paint has been removed to reveal some very straight panels. The car will be prepped and painted in BMW Atlantic Blue. We are also building a 3.5 litre fast road, fuel injected engine for this. Should be a cracking car when done. Watch this space for updates.
We are currently working to bring this 1937 Mercedes-Benz 230 Pullman back to road-worthy condition. Overall, the car is in good condition. Although it runs and drives it needs a fair amount of work to get it back on the road. We've started with some suspension repairs this week and we've removed the cylinder head and fuel pump and fuel tank for reconditioning.
This Lotus Esprit had sat in a garage for years before its current owner rescued it. The car had seized rear brakes and a few other small issues but was overall very good. With the rear brakes sorted and the engine up and running the car is now back on the road.
Ian Burford's Coventry Climax powered TVR Grantura has gone into the body shop for the restoration of its fibreglass body. It has decades worth of cracks, filler and paint layers so we are taking it right back to the original fibreglass to be repaired, prepped and repainted ready for the 2019 race season. The car is a rare and very early TVR with a 1097cc Coventry Climax FWA engine and drum brakes all round.
