A procedure is a series of steps followed in a regular, definite order to achieve a specified result. The goal of a written procedure is to enable a user to carry out an action with which he or she might not be familiar. Procedures save the writer time, transfer expertise, ensure consistency, and prevent errors and accidents. Procedures may amount to a single sheet for assembling a table, a lengthy manual of operating routines for a nuclear reactor, or a computer manual full of routines for using an operating system like UNIX or DOS.
A procedure is generally organized as follows:
An important aspect of procedures is their extensive use of chunking and step-syntax. Chunking is the sorting of parallel elements into prose sentences or elements that are easily located on the page. Step-syntax is the use of special imperative sentences to identify the action in each step of the procedure. A typical imperative begins with the action first, as follows:
Cut the end of the cable, as shown in Figure 2-1, removing any sharp wire ends that protrude from the jacket.
Most instructions contain one or more safety elements. A warning is given before any step that may present an element of harm to the individual performing the step. A caution is given before any step that could present some risk to equipment. A note is included before or after any step that may need some additional explanation.
Assembling the Interference Cable Seal
Warning: Do not work with live cables, which may electrocute you.
- Ensure that the cable is not attached to a power source.
- Determine whether or not the optional seal boot will be used and assemble the seal parts (parts list, Section X).
- Cut the end of the cable, as shown in Figure 2-1, removing any sharp wire ends that protrude from the jacket.
Caution: Do not use lubricants that may degrade the cable sheath.
- Apply a light coating of silicone compound, such as DC-55, to several inches of the cable.
- Slide the retaining washer over the cable and push it back out of the way.
- Slide the boot (if used) over the cable and push it back out of the way.
- Slide the seal packing onto the cable.
- Thread the cable the desired amount through the housing bore and out the small opening at the end of the housing.
- Lubricate the outer surface of the packing with silicone compound.
Note: If the packing has been lubricated, the next step is easily accomplished with thumb pressure only. If additional pressure is required, use a blunt rod to squeeze the packing into the housing.
- Gently squeeze the packing and slide it into the annular space of the housing bore.
- Slide the boot (if used) and retaining washer into place and fasten them with the retaining ring.
- Prepare the end of the cable for making electrical connections.

Next: My Tiles are Cracking in the Corners
My tiles are wearing out
Tiles are well known for their durability and wear resistance. But, we need to always remember that tiles are not indestructible. If mistreated, or subjected to harsh conditions, or wrongly selected for purpose, the glaze on a ceramic tile will scratch or it can wear.
There needs to be an understanding of the difference between 'wearing' and'scratching.' Wearing is where the glazed surface is thinning and eventually actually work through. Scratching is damage to the surface from a harder substance that scratches the glaze. Heavy scratching can actually dull the surface of a glazed tile. It is damage to the surface, but it is not actually wearing through. Much like granite in a heavy traffic area will dull off from scratching, but is not worn.
The best way to avoid tiles becoming worn is to get good advice when selecting them. This way, tiles that are suited to the area can be chosen and that includes for reasons such as colour, ease of cleaning, durability, and resistance to wear.
The other way is to keep the floor clean and free from sand and abrasive dirt. This is especially important at doorways to the outside of a home or building. Abrasive grit is brought in under shoes and if there is a doormat, this grit is removed and left on the doormat. Even gravel (which can be equally as hard as granite) can be trapped under a shoe and then trodden onto the tiled surface.
What can cause the problem?
- Absense of doormats at doorways to the outside of a home. These remove grit and sand from shoes which can be very abrasive on tiled surfaces. Think of sandpaper, which can actually just be sand trapped on the paper, yet is highly abrasive.
- Incorrectly specified tiles that are not suited to the traffic conditions of an area. Always heed the advice of the Beaumont Tiles consultant and explain clearly the conditions to which the tiles will be subject.
- Keep your tiles clean. A clean tile won't have a film of accumulated grinding dirt on the surface.
- Avoid the use of unnecessary chemicals, especially acid based ones and the use of hard cleaning implements such as steel wool. These too will deteriorate the surface of a tile.
So what can I do now?
Once the glaze on tiles has worn, it can't be rejuvenated in any way.
Likewise, damage by harsh scratching cannot be reversed.
Scratched tiles will continue to perform as a tile should. But, once a tile surface has worn through, and the protective glazed surface is gone, the tile will need to be replaced.

This article was originally published in Inside Health Policy on September 24, 2014.
Researchers: Sovaldi Analysis Could Be Used In Lawsuits Against Medicaid
Researchers at Harvard and Brown universities are analyzing state Medicaid programs' coverage restrictions for the expensive hepatitis C drug Sovaldi, and the findings could lay the groundwork for beneficiaries to sue states, although a Harvard law instructor said legal action is a last resort. Patient advocates are especially angry at states that refuse to give the hepatitis C drug to alcoholics and drug addicts, arguing the policy is discriminatory and has no medical basis.
Malinda Ellwood, clinical instructor of law at Harvard's Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation, stressed that the findings are preliminary; researchers must verify them with states and some states are still considering restrictions. Researchers are starting with Medicaid fee-for-service and hope to analyze prescribing restrictions in other areas, such as Medicaid managed care and states' policies on who can treat patients with both hepatitis C and HIV.
Researchers found 30 states with prior authorization restrictions, which vary widely.
The majority of those 30 states restrict the drug to people with alcohol or drug-abuse problems. Among them, 12 states require that patients be sober and off street drugs for six months or longer before they qualify for Sovaldi, Ellwood said. Six states have abstinence periods between one month and three months, and five states require either abstinence or that patients be in treatment programs.
Lynn Taylor, assistant professor of medicine at Brown University, said she is appalled by states that withhold the drug from people with alcohol and drug addictions. African Americans are twice as likely to get infected by hepatitis C, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and abstinence restrictions sharpen health care disparities between the poor and the rich, Taylor said. (Harvard and Brown researchers are both analyzing Medicaid restrictions by state and may jointly publish their results, Ellwood said.)
There is no medical reason for abstinence restrictions, Taylor argued, adding that some physicians mistakenly believe that people with alcohol and drug addictions are less likely to stick to their drug regimen. Not only is there no evidence of that, Taylor said, there do not appear to be any other diseases for which Medicaid refuses to cover treatments due to alcohol or drug use.
Taylor said it's wrong to penalize patients who are trying to beat addiction by refusing to treat a separate condition. The rational she heard from states is that drug users may reinfect themselves. However, she said research established long ago that a small percentage of patients get reinfected. It's not right to deny treatment to an entire population because of a few, she added. Reinfection is also a problem for other diseases, she noted, and the government doesn't ration treatments for those infections with restrictions on alcohol and drug use.
Although Taylor dislikes all types of restrictions, she said she understands why states are prioritizing treatment to those who are sickest to deal with Sovaldi's price, which costs $84,000 per course. FDA is expected to approve next month a second drug by Gilead Sciences that will be combined with Sovaldi in a single pill, which is expected to add significantly to the treatment's cost. That pill will not need to be taken with interferon, which makes many patients very ill, so it is expected to be a sought-after treatment. Also, Sovaldi already cures more than 90 percent of many types of patients, and the combo pill is expected to have an even better cure rate and to reduce the treatment period from 12 weeks to as few as four weeks.
All 30 states require that patients show some degree of sickness, and most require a metavir score of at least F3, which requires a liver biopsy, before their Medicaid programs will cover Sovaldi, Ellwood said.
Natarajan Ravendhran, chief of gastroenterology and liver disease at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, said it's wrong to require such an invasive procedure to check on the severity of a disease to determine whether patients may receive a cure. Also, it's not clear when someone crosses from stage two to stage three liver disease, and it's difficult to time when to do follow-up biopsies to monitor the progress of liver disease. He said the restrictions often put both patients and their doctors in a difficult position, and he gave as an example one of his patients who is in stage one and wants to have children but cannot until her disease gets bad enough to merit treatment.
Ellwood said 21 states also restrict who may prescribe Sovaldi. That's concerning because there may not be enough specialists to prescribe the drug to those who need it. Nine states require that specialists prescribe hepatitis C drugs, and 12 states require that prescribers consult with specialists.
The university researchers are working with National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable, which has called on HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell to convene a meeting among drug makers, plans, patients and providers to figure out how to make Sovaldi available to everyone infected with hepatitis C. Patient groups are considering suing Medicaid programs in states with particularly strict limits on Sovaldi, but Ellwood said the group she is working with prefers solutions to lawsuits.
States are in a particularly difficult position. There is a high rate of infection among Medicaid beneficiaries and prison systems. Also, states must balance their budgets each year so even though Gilead priced its drug commiserate with the current cost of treatment, those costs are all up front and states cannot stretch them out over the 20 year to 30 years that they normally would have had to cover those costs.

The research group "Anthropology of the Night" brings together researchers from multiple disciplines with the aim of contributing to the construction of the "night" as an anthropological object of study. The night, a physical phenomenon of varying duration according to geographical position and time of year, is an object of diverse cultural perceptions and representations. These representations involve different constructions of time, space, beings, and their agency, which, up until now, have been under-studied as entities in of themselves, limited to a perspective framing them only as complementary to daytime knowledge and activities.
This research area touches upon all objects and processes typically studied by anthropology (the body and its techniques, the notion of person, material culture, economic exchanges, beliefs and representations of the supernatural world, conceptions of space and time).
The concept of "nocturnality" brings together the elements that a society devises and adopts to define what constitutes "its" night, both in conjunction with physical time and beyond the period that extends from sunset to sunrise. The spaces, times, and notions that define nocturnality in a given society embody a certain number of characters, objects, feelings, changes in affects, behaviours, and discourses, which manifest themselves particularly at certain ritual occasions, either "by night" or "out of the night" and can even become permanently embedded in the daytime. This is how sleep and the fragmentation of the constitutive elements of the person, dreams, appearances, activities requiring darkness, silence, clandestinity, etc. configure the nocturnality of a population into a common representation, expanding and building upon the physical night.

-can data types be miss-matched without errors?
-can data types hold the same kind of data if the values are in the same range?

Parishes should be prepared for the celebration of the liturgy of the hours. SC and the General Introduction to the Liturgy of the Hours (see the sidebar; GILH) both suggest it as part of a parish's palette of liturgical prayer.
368. The celebration of the office for the dead requires careful preparation, especially in the case of communities that may not be familiar with the liturgy of the hours. Pastors and other ministers should provide catechesis on the place and significance of the liturgy of the hours in the life of the Church and the purpose of the celebration of the office for the dead. They should also encourage members of the parish community to participate in the celebration as an effective means of prayer for the deceased, as a sign of their concern and support for the family and close friends, and as a sign of faith and hope in the paschal mystery. This catechesis will help ensure the full and active participation of the assembly in the celebration of the office for the dead.
Just two things here. First, a summary of why liturgical participation is important:
- an effective means of prayer for the deceased
- a sign of concern and support for the mourners
- a sign of faith and hope in the paschal mystery
These reasons, by the way, extend to the importance of "full and active" participation in the Sunday Mass.
And a side comment: it takes more than the imparting of knowledge. Catechesis here implies formation; in part, a learn-by-doing approach to liturgical experience.

Sharjah Architecture Triennial will seek to overturn "orientalist cliches"
A new architecture triennial launching in the United Arab Emirates next year will challenge "pernicious" western views of Asian, African and Middle Eastern architecture, according to curator Adrian Lahoud.
The Sharjah Architecture Triennial, debuting in the Emirati city in November 2019, aims to tackle stereotypes about the region and its architecture.
"There's going to be an attempt to rethink architecture beyond a Western European framework," Lahoud told Dezeen.
"You get all these orientalist cliches and you find them in all kinds of various forms of knowledge production, and they're continually repeated within the media."

The first Sharjah Architecture Triennial will "look beyond a Western European framework" says curator Adrian Lahoud. Photo is by Rabee Younes
Lahoud, who is dean of the school of architecture at the Royal College of Art in London, revealed details of the triennial at a launch event at the Venice Architecture Biennale at the end of May.
In an exclusive interview with Dezeen ahead of the launch, he criticised the western tendency to highlight vernacular design, traditional materials and even tribal dress from non-western cultures.
"Those kinds of cliches are pernicious, virulent, and objectionable tropes, that really no major international exhibition of architecture that I've seen in decades has been exempt from," he said. "There's a lack of indigenous modernities or futures in those accounts."
Triennial will "look beyond the object"
Instead, the three-month-long triennial in port city Sharjah, which neighbours Dubai, will look "beyond a focus on the object, the focus on the form of the object, or thinking about the building envelope as where architecture ends," said Lahoud.
"It's important because our perspective of architecture is so dominated by the legacy of Western European forms of thinking," he said. "This is a part of the world that is still involved in various different struggles against colonialism."

Taking place in port city Sharjah, which neighbours Dubai, the triennial will focus on architecture in North and East Africa, the Middle East and South Asia
Looking at architecture in North and East Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, the inaugural event is titled Rights of Future Generations.
It will examine how the recent focus on individual rights to things such as health, education and housing have diminished concern about collective entitlements such as rights to natural resources and a benign environment.
Looking at architecture from the perspective of future generations
Lahoud hopes the triennial will help move the discussion ''beyond questions of individual rights to think about collective rights, from the perspective of a future generation".
"But it's challenging, as future generations don't exist, so who speaks on behalf of them?" he said, stressing that this is the key question that architecture should be addressing.
"The reason it's becoming such a fundamental question and why it's so important to use as a kind of lens to think about architecture and think about cities is because there's no doubt in anyone's minds that we are making massive transformations to the planet at the moment," he said. "These are transformations that will have really fundamental long-term consequences on quality of life."
This involves overturning western views on architecture and urbanism, Lahoud believes.
"Shelter, for example, assumes that there is a distinction between ourselves and the environment; that the environment is a threat and we have to be protected from it," he said. "That's a core concept within architecture, but not all societies see their relationship to the environment in the same way."
Western architecture is "condescending"
Lahoud attacked the way other international architecture exhibitions presented architecture from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
"For example, this obsession with tradition in the vernacular," he said. "This condescending appreciation of creativity under conditions of adversity. Or even the semiotics of architectural materials, bamboo and mud bricks, and so-called other traditional materials. There's always a complete absence of technological sophistication or technological experimentation."
He added: "Architects from that part of the world get admitted to international exhibitions if they're in traditional dress, and of course that standard never applies to architects from a North American or Western European context."
"The question we should be asking is why does the Western curatorial gaze, whenever it looks out to those parts of the world, basically seek works that only confirms preconceptions of what architecture from that part of the world should look like."

The aim of the event is to overturn western views on architecture and urbanism, according to Lahoud
Lahoud, an architect, researcher and educator, was appointed dean of the RCA's school of architecture in 2015 when his predecessor Alex de Rijike resigned to focus on his architecture practice dRMM.
Specialising in post-colonial nation-building projects and climate research in the context of the global south, Lahoud's recent projects include an installation called Climate Crimes, which is currently on show at the V&A as part of the exhibition The Future Starts Here.
He promised to put voices of young people in the regions covered by the triennial at the centre of the show, although he conceded that three months would not be time enough to address the scale of issues they face.
"The thing that excites me the most is the opportunity to make a space for dialogue, to create a platform for an emerging generation of architects, of scholars, of artists, planners, urban designers, who are working in parts of the world that sometimes don't have access to really basic things like national archives, to a documentation of their own histories because of colonialism, because archives were taken back to Europe or destroyed."

Laser Photonics Broadening Mechanisms
Broadening Mechanisms
What are the physical mechanisms that lead to broadening? We'll discuss three here.
The first is called lifetime broadening. As you know, quantum mechanics tells us that the electron wavefunction is oscillating at frequency \nu = E / h, where energy E is determined by the state that the electron occupies. As we discussed in the context of light, a wave can only be truly single-frequency if it oscillates for all time. An electron in an energy state has a finite lifetime in that state; eventually it will move to another state, by spontaneous processes or otherwise. Therefore, each state has a finite lifetime, sometimes labelled \tau. The finite duration of the wavefunction's oscillation necessarily introduces additional frequency (energy) components to the electron's wavefunction, thus broadening its spectrum. This form of broadening can't be avoided, but it also produces very narrow broadening in practice, as many states have very long lifetimes compared to their oscillation frequency.
The second broadening mechanism we'll discuss is called collision broadening. When we discussed incoherent light, we described random phase jumps that cause a wave to lose phase information. These random phase jumps can also occur for electron wavefunctions, commonly due to elastic collisions with other atoms (or lattice vibrations, in the case of solid state materials). The random phase jumps will introduce additional frequency components and therefore broaden the spectrum of the electron's wavefunction. This broadening can be significant especially at high temperatures in certain materials.
The last broadening mechanism we'll discuss is Doppler broadening. You're probably familiar with the Doppler effect – as a train approaches, the whistle sounds higher-pitched than when it recedes. There is also a Doppler effect for light, although the math is a bit different owing to the fact that light must always pass you at the same speed. If you detect light from a source that is moving towards you, you will measure a shorter wavelength than you would detect from an identical source that is moving away from you. In a gas laser, the light-emitting atoms are moving in random directions; at any moment, some are approaching you while others move away from you, in roughly equal numbers. Therefore you will observe broadening in the spectrum of light emitted by this collection of atoms, due to the differing Doppler shifts that the light emitted by different atoms experience.
While we're discussing broadening mechanisms, we can divide all broadening mechanisms into two broad categories: homogeneous broadening and inhomogeneous broadening. Let's consider a collection of light emitters, like atoms in a gas. The gas is homogeneously broadened if all of the atoms in the gas are broadened in the same way – i.e. the emission spectrum of each atom is the same, with the same center frequency and linewidth. In this case, the overall broadening of the gas is the same as the broadening of each atom. For a gas composed of a single species of atoms, which are all subjected to the same environmental conditions, we would expect that lifetime and collision broadening mechanisms would result in homogeneous broadening.
In a gas that is inhomogeneously broadened, different light emitters in the gas may have different spectra – a different center frequency and/or linewidth. The overall spectrum of the collection of emitters is therefore a sum or composite of the varied spectra of the individual emitters, as illustrated below. A gas with Doppler broadening as the dominant mechanism would be inhomogeneously broadened, as each atom would effectively have a different center frequency, dependent upon their velocity.

'Cursing stone' discovered on Isle of Canna
London, May 20 (ANI): An ancient stone that was discovered by chance on the Isle of Canna is Scotland's first known example of a bullaun "cursing stone", according to experts.
Dating from about 800 AD, the stones are associated with early Christian crosses - of which there is one on the isle.
It was found in an old graveyard by a National Trust for Scotland (NTS) farm manager.
The stone about 25cm in diameter and engraved with an early Christian cross fits exactly into a large rectangular stone with a worn hole, which was located at the base of the Canna cross.
NTS manager of Canna, Stewart Connor, said the importance of the stone became clear after he was notified of the discovery.
"We knew of the importance of bullaun stones and that it could be a really significant find," the BBC quoted him as saying.
"Our head of archaeology confirmed a possible link to the stone at the cross and I was so excited that I went back out at 9pm that night to check whether it fitted the stone with the hole and it did," he said.
Katherine Forsyth, an expert in the history and culture of early Celtic-speaking peoples, based at the University of Glasgow, described it as an "amazing find".
"Stones like this are found in Ireland, where they are known as 'cursing stones', but this is the first to be discovered in Scotland," she said.
"They date from the early Christian period but have continued to be used by pilgrims up to modern times.
"Traditionally, the pilgrim would recite a prayer while turning the stone clockwise, wearing a depression or hole in the stone underneath," she said.
Dr Forsyth said bowl-shaped lower stones had been found elsewhere in Scotland, including on Canna, but this was the first discovery of a top stone.
"This exciting find provides important new insight into religious art and practice in early Scotland and demonstrates just how much there is still to be discovered out there," she added. (ANI)

Myrtle rust: why local New Zealand species are under threat
Myrtle rust: why local New Zealand species are under threat
Sadly, the discovery of more sites in New Zealand infected with myrtle rust suggests that it is here to stay. Originally from South America, myrtle rust invaded Australia in 2010 and rapidly spread. Botanist Lara Shepherd discusses what Australian scientists have discovered about myrtle rust over the last seven years.
What does myrtle rust infect?
Myrtle rust infects members of the Myrtaceae plant family. The Myrtaceae is Australia's dominant plant family with over 1,600 native species, including over 500 species of Eucalyptus.
Experiments have shown that there is a big range in the vulnerability of different Australian species to myrtle rust infection. Some species are highly susceptible (all individuals infected), other species show no signs of infection.
Resistance to myrtle rust
Resistance to myrtle rust is linked to variation at a number of genes called 'resistance genes'.
Plants which contain these 'resistance genes' are able to defend themselves against infection.
However, most Myrtaceae species show a range of infection rates – within these species there are both gene variants that protect them from myrtle rust as well as gene variants that make them susceptible.
The species that vary in their susceptibility often show differences in infection rates across the landscape with populations in one part of the range more susceptible to infection than populations elsewhere.
This finding emphasises the importance of conserving local populations of native species, even for species that are common with widespread distributions.

Conserving local populations of native species
Clearing a few hectares of kānuka (like this farmer decided to do) may seem minor, but if the population destroyed harbours the only resistance genes to myrtle rust, or another disease, then the results could be devastating to the long-term survival of the species.
Similarly, creating monocultures using a subset of a species that are selected for some desirable character, such as mānuka that produces high UMF honey, can similarly put a species at risk from new pests and diseases by reducing the overall genetic variation.
Infection trials of nine New Zealand Myrtaceae species in cultivation overseas have shown that all became infected with myrtle rust. But what we don't yet know is whether any of our species contain resistance genes somewhere within their distributions.
Pohutukawa is a striking member of the Myrtaceae family.

Threat to the Bartlett's rātā
Scientists are particularly concerned about the impact that myrtle rust may have on our Bartlett's rātā – there are only 25 individuals remaining in the wild and genetic variation within the species is very limited. If one Bartlett's rātā become infected it is likely that they all will.
 1. I have two different kinds of guava tree growing at home in Auckland. Is guava more suceptible to myrtle rust than other trees? Should they be watched more closely? And removed immediately when infected? How to dispose of infected plants?
 Can photos of different infected species be published across all media, including local newspapers, to get feedback from the public on the occurrence and spread of this over time?
 What is the best way to recognise resistant populations? Repeated general surveys of absence and presence might provide baseline reference points that make it easier to recognise resistance sooner.
 1. Author
 Hi Peter,
 I'm not sure how susceptible guava is to myrtle rust – hopefully you won't find out! If you do notice something on your trees that might be myrtle rust then don't touch it – MPI says to do the following:
 Call the MPI Exotic Pest and Disease Hotline immediately on 0800 80 99 66.
 If you have a camera or phone camera, take clear photos, including the whole plant, the whole affected leaf, and a close-up of the spores/affected area of the plant.
 Don't touch it or try to collect samples as this may increase the spread of the disease.
 Of course their advice may change if myrtle rust becomes widespread. Naturewatch ( would be a great way to track the spread of myrtle rust because photos, the date and location is recorded for each sighting. As of today no one has recorded it on that platform yet.
 In order to test for resistant populations in Australian plants scientists deliberately infected plants in cultivation. This would have required an available source of cultivated plants from a range of locations. I'm not sure if this kind of research is being done in New Zealand.
 2. But what are the effects of Myrtle rust? Does it kill the plant or are the effects different per individual plant or species? What are the effects?
 PS Myrtle Rust, a great name for the main character in a novel.
 1. Author
 Hi Harm,
 According to the Australian Department of Environment and Energy website:
 'The disease can cause deformed leaves, heavy defoliation of branches, reduced fertility, dieback, stunted growth, and plant death.'
 My understanding is that the severity of the effects depends on how susceptible the particular species is. Also seedlings are more likely to die that adults because of all the new growth they have.
 I agree about Myrtle Rust being a great character name – she'd have to be the villan though!
 3. Why is it only found in Nurseries so far, does that imply they swap plants.
 Is the Government going to provide funding to find a cure for it, so far, no plants with the rust samples have been sent to the scientists at Callaghan.
 1. Author
 Not necessarily – myrtle rust likes sheltered damp, warm situations like nurseries. Also the plants are small so the leaves can be checked (not like a 20m tall rata!) and nursery workers have been looking for it. So research has been done by Scion but mostly around identifying Myrtaceae:
 4. Did I miss the media release advising of extra funding for DoC to address this profound risk?
 5. Genetic engineering would answer the question
 1. Not necessarily true, there is actual NATURAL genetic resistance and tolerance in myrtaceae plants to this fungus, as we have seen in Australia over the past 7 years. It will be mch better R&D investment to explore existing resistance genes rather than a blunt costly tool of genetic engineering
 2. Completely agree with Nick on this one Peter – GE is NOT the best response. In 2015 I presented a review of naturally-occurring resistance in forest trees to newly introduced pathogens at the Kauri Dieback symposium held in Hokianga (it's posted on YouTube). Bottom line is resistance virtually always occurs… just not often at high – or even moderate – frequency when the pathogen is a newly introduced pathogen. In fact the first resistance gene in a forest tree species to be characterised was in sugar pine – to western white pine blister rust. Also, GE is very expensive to develop and requires years of R&D to develop suitable plant delivery systems that are sufficiently robust and allow a wide range of genotypes to be transformed. Better off screening for naturally occurring resistance and propagating from those. In the case of Bartletts Rata, if all remaining individuals are susceptible then maybe a gene editing approach using resistance gene sequences from other myrtaceae would be more appropriate than transgenesis.
 6. I worry about spp found in primarily damp habitats, eg the subcanopy rata spp. Just hope that MPI/DOC collecting seed and cuttings from a wide range of habitats of all native Myrtaceae ie many thousands of samples.
 7. Thanks Lara. Very helpful. Sobering examples.

FrameworkElement.SizeChanged Event
Occurs when either the ActualHeight or the ActualWidth properties change value on a FrameworkElement.
Namespace: System.Windows
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: Not mapped to an xmlns.
public event SizeChangedEventHandler SizeChanged
Use a handler based on SizeChangedEventHandler to handle this event.
The Windows Phone layout system reads properties in the SizeChangedEventArgs event data class of this event, to determine whether the reported size changes should be considered significant. This allows the layout system to avoid forcing a layout change because of visually imperceptible differences between old and new height or width values. The imperceptible differences might be caused by rounding or calculations of a floating-point value.
The SizeChanged event uses specialized event data derived from RoutedEventArgs, not EventArgs. However, the event does not bubble (it does not travel a true event route).
It is not strictly necessary to avoid calling other APIs that influence layout of the current object from within a SizeChanged handler. For example: setting Height or Width; calling InvalidateMeasure or UpdateLayout; calling ApplyTemplate; any operation that might resize child elements and thus invalidate the parent layout. The layout engine has internal logic that is capable of avoiding many looping issues. However, it is still possible to create sizing or rendering loops if your handler logic combined with surrounding layout is not capable of reaching an end result for the size of the relevant object.
SizeChanged is raised whenever the size (either ActualHeight or ActualWidth) has changed on the object, and is raised after the Measure and Arrange passes are complete (for more information about these concepts, see Layout and panels for Windows Phone). If the position of the object within a parent container changes, but not the size, SizeChanged is not raised.
LayoutUpdated is a similar event, but LayoutUpdated is also raised for position changes. In addition, LayoutUpdated occurrence is not scoped to a specific object's layout properties, and is instead reporting on the entire visual tree that an object is contained in. LayoutUpdated informs you that something within the overall visual tree that contains the object has changed, but the layout specifics (size, position) of the object where the handler is attached might not have changed.

The unifying design element for the new Bahnhofsplatz is the red, rammed-earth paving. It spreads out like a carpet in front of the train station to receive the arrivals in Landquart. The hardwearing, newly developed paving material is derived from the tried and true, rammed-earth floors typical of ancient Rome. It is exceptionally resilient and proven to be robust. The special feature of this paving is the brick substrate from the local brick works that has been added to the paving material. This admixture gives the paving a reddish-brown tone and a lively surface structure, and makes the Bahnhofplatz a unique site. The square is framed at the side by two gardens. One is slightly elevated and consists of a group of ornamental cherry trees. There is a herbaceous garden on the opposite side, situated between two strong, existing copper beech trees. Both gardens join the square, creating two different spaces, each with its own atmosphere and quality.


5 Questions About: Oral History in Southeast Asia: Memories and Fragments
We ask authors of books reviewed in Oral History Review to answer 5 questions about why we should read their books. In our latest installment of the series, Loh Kah Seng discusses Oral History in Southeast Asia: Memories and Fragments.
Jessica Martucci's review of Oral History in Southeast Asia: Memories and Fragments is available online and in issue 47.1 of OHR.
What's your book about and why does it matter?
The book contains contributions from Southeast Asia, a diverse region where oral history work is still not widely known, and where it often (but not always) contends as fragments against dominant state narratives.
How does oral history contribute to your book?
The volume draws upon oral history fieldwork in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, and deals with memory politics among a varied group of Southeast Asians: workers, communists, rebels, massacre survivors, villagers, and former leprosy patients.
Kah Seng Loh, Stephen Dobbs, and Ernest Koh (eds). Oral History in Southeast Asia: Memories and Fragments. New York: Palgrave Macmillan US, 2013.
What do you like about using oral history as a methodology?
In an academic sense, oral history in the region is incredibly rich and capable of disturbing dominant narratives. But it does not always do so, possessing a sometimes ambivalent relationship to power. Speaking about the past in the context of Southeast Asia—a bundle of nation-states with conflicted recent political and social histories—is both rewarding and challenging work.
Why will fellow oral historians be interested in your book?
Southeast Asia offers interesting ways to understand oral history in the context of decolonization, the Cold War and counter-insurgency, rapid industrialization, and medicalization of the state. Our book is a small (and old) one, and hopefully will spur further regional perspectives and trans-regional comparisons on oral history.
That oral history remains relevant and valuable today in many places in the world, particularly due to some of its original impetus, namely the relationship between memory, power and social change.

Chapter 4: Be a Light unto Yourself
The first question:
Is Zen the path of surrender? Then how come the basic teaching of Buddha is, "Be a light unto yourself"?
The essential surrender happens within you. It has nothing to do with anybody outside you. The basic surrender is a relaxation, a trust - so don't be misguided by the word. Linguistically, surrender means to surrender to somebody, but religiously, surrender simply means trust, relaxing. It is an attitude rather than an act: you live through trust.
Let me explain. You swim in water, you go to the river and swim. What do you do? - you trust water. A good swimmer trusts so much that he almost becomes one with the river. He is not fighting, he does not grab the water, he is not stiff and tense. If you are stiff and tense you will be drowned, if you are relaxed the river takes care.
That's why whenever somebody dies, the dead body floats on the water. This is a miracle. Amazing! Alive, the person died and was drowned by the river, but dead, the person simply floats on the surface. What has happened? The dead person knows some secret about the river which the alive person did not know. The alive person was fighting. The river was the enemy. He was afraid, he could not trust. But the dead person, not being there, how could he fight? The dead person is totally relaxed, with no tension: suddenly the body surfaces, the river takes care. No river can drown a dead person.
Trust means you are not fighting. Surrender means you don't think of life as the enemy but as the friend. Once you trust the river, suddenly you start enjoying. Tremendous delight arises: splashing, swimming, or just floating or diving deep. But you are not separate from the river, you merge, you become one.
Surrender means to live the same way in life as a good swimmer swims in the river. Life is a river: either you can fight or you can float, either you can push the river and try to go against the current or you can float with the river and go wherever the river leads you.
Surrender is not towards somebody, it is simply a way of life. A God is not needed to surrender to. There are religions which believe in God, there are religions which don't believe in any God - but all religions believe in surrender, so surrender is the real God.

than hundreds of meters.
3.1.6 Acoustic correlation log is a type of log which utilizes the acoustic correlation principle to
measure the time shift when the echo information from the same scattering source at the water
bottom reaches the two receivers, so that the information can be solved to obtain the ship's speed
through the water and distance. This type of log can be used to measure the astern speed and also
be used for sounding. Acoustic correlation log also becomes a log relative to water at the operating
water depth of greater than hundreds of meters.
3.2 Speed log may be classified into the following two categories depending on the measuring
method and reference object:
3.2.1 Relative log, which can only measure the speed through the water and cumulate the distance.
3.2.2 Absolute log, which can measure the speed over the ground and cumulate the distance,
however, when the measuring water depth exceeds its tracking depth range, the absolute log turns
into a relative log tracking the water layers.

the bride are to have the dimming function.
5.1.1 Ship speed
7 / 12
N-07(201510) SPEED LOG
Speed information may be displayed in simulated or digital form. Where digital display is
employed, the increment of speed is not to exceed 0.1 knot, where simulated display is employed,
0.5 knot is to be displayed in each grid and a digital mark is to be made at each 5 knots. Where the
log can measure the speed in directions other than the forward direction, the ship's navigation
direction is to be displayed at the same time when the speed is displayed.
5.1.2 Distance
Distance information is to be digitally displayed. The displaying range of the display screen is to
be from 0 to a value not less than 9999.9 nautical miles with a step value not exceeding 0.1
nautical miles. Means are to be provided where appropriate to reset the display unit reading to
zero.
5.1.3 Signal output
Means are to be provided to transfer the measured speed and distance data to other equipment on
board. The following two requirements are to be met at the same time:
(1) All speed and distance parameters, including information regarding direction, are to be
transmitted as per IEC 61162-1 interface criteria;
(2) When such equipment is used for measuring the forward speed, the information is to be
capable of being converted for closing the contact point. If so, it will be a contact closure per
0.005 nautical mile distance (200 impulses per nautical mile).
5.1.4 Operation mode switchover and display
If the log can measure both the speed over the ground and the speed through water, the
arrangement and indication for switchover between the two operation modes are to be provided.
If the log can measure the speed in multiple directions, the measured speed and direction
information may be set as a selectable option of the display unit. All such information is to
expressly indicate the navigation direction, operation mode and effectiveness status.
In accordance with the requirements of the Convention, for logs installed on ships of more than
50000 gross tons after July 1st, 2014, two types of logs, one for measuring the speed through
water and the other for measuring the speed over the ground, are to be provided respectively, and
use of one log capable of measuring both of the speeds is not allowed.
5.2 Measuring accuracy
Where the ship's navigation is not subject to the effects of environmental factors such as hollow
water effect, seabed type, electrical current, tide, etc., the error of the logged speed and distance is
8 / 12
N-07(201510) SPEED LOG
not to exceed the following.
5.2.1 Speed measurement and indication error
The error of speed measurement and indication is not to exceed the following values:
(1) For digital display, 2% of ship speed or 0.2 knot, whichever is greater;
(2) For simulated display, 2.5% of ship speed or 0.25 knot, whichever is greater; and
(3) For external data transmission, 2% of ship speed or 0.2 knot, whichever is greater.
5.2.2 Distance measurement and indication error
The error of indicated distance is not to exceed 2% of the ship's navigation distance within an
hour or 0.2 nautical miles per hour, whichever is greater.
Where the accuracy of the equipment in measuring the speed and distance is affected, the detailed
information on possible effects (e.g. sea conditions, water temperature and salinity, etc.) is to be
included in the instructions for use of the equipment.
5.3 Minimum depth
The speed and distance measuring and indicating devices are to be used for normal navigation and
ship maneuvering, which are to be capable of, as a minimum, providing the distance and forward
speed of the ship through the water or over the ground and providing additional movement data
when the ship is navigating in the directions other than the axial direction. Such devices are to
fully meet their performance criteria before the ship reaches the maximum forward speed. The
devices for measuring speed and distance through the water are to meet the performance criteria
for a water depth of more than 3m below the keel. The devices for measuring speed and distance
over the ground are to meet the performance criteria for a water depth of more than 2m below the
keel.
5.4 Structure and installation
5.4.1 The system is to be designed so that flooding of the ship will not be incurred either when the
equipment component is connected to the ship or when any equipment component penetrating the
hull is damaged.
5.4.2 If any part of the system is designed to be extendable or retractable from the hull, this design
is to ensure that such part is capable of extending, operating properly and retracting at all speeds
within the ship's maximum speed range. The positions of extension and retraction are to be clearly
identified in the indicating positions.
5.4.3 Product description or installation manual is to include the installation methods
9 / 12
N-07(201510) SPEED LOG
recommended by the manufacturer and particularly the positions of sensors, because the positions
of installation and arrangement will affect the measuring accuracy of the speed log.
5.5 Information display on display unit (where applicable)
The display of navigational information by shipborne navigation indicators is to meet the relevant
requirements of IEC62288.

Bolt Action - German Gebirgsjager squad (Mountain Troops)
Specialist training bred hardened fighters and the Gebirgsjäger (mountain infantry) were regarded as elite alongside Fallschirmjager. Gebirgsjäger originated from the Alpenkorps of WWI, where they were used to defend the mountain passes from their Italian equivalent, Alpini. Their symbol was the edelweiss, a flower that they also traditionally wore in their caps and collars. The flower only grows at higher altitudes and means "noble purity."
Specially trained to operate in mountainous and other difficult terrain and extreme climatic conditions, Gebirgsjäger divisions were used in virtually every theatre from Poland, Norway, Africa, Crete and the Balkans, and Soviet Russia throughout the war.
As the Allied forces pushed ever onward toward the German homeland, Gebirgsjäger would often fight alongside regular infantry. Particularly in the final months of the war, when the quality of new conscripts was poor, Gebirgsjäger would often be relied upon to defend strategically critical areas.
In Bolt Action these elite troops are classed as Veterans and have Anti tank Grenades and skis as add-on options. The Skis special rule is a great extra, allowing them to ignore movement penalties on snow and other winter conditions!
Contains: 10 finely detailed metal models
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted


Radius of Turn
Definition
The horizontal distance that an aircraft uses to turn is referred to as the radius of turn. It varies as a function of bank angle and the square of the airspeed.
Description
Radius of turn is dependent on both airspeed and bank angle. The radius of turn at any given bank angle is directly proportional to the square of the airspeed. Doubling the airspeed results in a radius of turn that is four times greater while tripling the airspeed would result in a radius that is nine times greater. Conversely, if the aircraft speed remains constant, increasing the bank angle will decrease the turn radius.
These relationships are the opposite of those found in Rate of Turn where increasing the speed decreases the rate of turn and increasing bank angle also increases the rate of turn.
