The National Junior Science Bowl® and its regional competitions are math and science competitions among teams of junior high/middle school students (grades 6–8) throughout the country. Both programs encourage students and teachers to achieve educational excellence in the sciences. The fast-paced question-and-answer categories for the National Science Bowl® are astronomy, biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, current events in the scientific community, computer, earth, and general science. Question-and-answer categories for the National Junior Science Bowl® are astronomy, earth and life sciences, computer science and technology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and general science.
Texas Junior Academy of Science
The Texas Junior Academy of Science (TJAS) is an annual meeting and science competition. High school students (grades 9–12) from across the state conduct research during the school year and present results at TJAS through both spoken and written word.
Texas Junior Science & Humanities Symposium
The Texas Junior Science & Humanities Symposium (Texas JSHS) promotes original research and experimentation in the sciences, engineering, and mathematics at the high school level, and publicly recognize students for outstanding achievement. Texas JSHS provides an opportunity for Texas high school students to present the results of their original research in a professional arena. Students who participate in the symposia also have the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas, interact with practicing researchers, and explore future academic and career opportunities. The Texas JSHS program includes both research paper and poster presentations.

The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
The University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Houston
The University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Houston (GSBS) Outreach Program is a dynamic graduate student-led initiative, dedicated to raising awareness of and promoting enthusiasm for science in the community. This includes working with local schools (K–12), often in underprivileged areas; attending science nights, during which volunteers demonstrate science concepts through experiments; giving science lessons in classroom settings; and serving as science fair judges. Graduate student volunteers also invite high school academic organizations to the graduate school for career seminars and lab tours. Recently, they arranged an event for a local high school group of girls interested in STEM careers. High school students were able to talk with female graduate students and faculty about their career choices, research interests, and life as women in science.
GSBS Outreach's most extensive event is operating Project GRAD's Biology Academy. This two-week program is held for 30 local high school students who are at risk for not completing high school, but who are likely to qualify for Advanced Placement Biology. The program consists of daily lessons on a wide range of topics in biology, from using blood typing to solve a CSI-like crime scene to sheep brain dissections! The Biology Academy is taught primarily through hands-on experiments and demonstrations, while emphasizing the importance of the scientific method and proper note taking. By the end of the program, students not only get to experience how fun and rewarding science is, but also gain a better understanding of what a job in science would be like. For many students, this program gives them the encouragement and drive to finish high school, go to college—often as first generation college students—and seek a career in science.

WILLIAMSON – More felony drug charges have been filed against a Williamson man who was arrested and arraigned this past Wednesday on kidnapping and armed robbery charges.
Jerome Smith, AKA "Oatmeal" was charged with five counts of delivery of a controlled substance on Thursday, according to a spokesman for the U.S. 119 Drug Task Force, who is working in conjunction with the Mingo County Sheriff's Department (MCSD).
The warrants charge Smith with three counts for delivery of heroin and two counts of delivery of crack cocaine.
A Williamson woman, Carol Slone, was also charged with one count of delivery of a controlled substance, crack cocaine.
At this time the charges are in the Mingo County Circuit Court, but federal warrants and charges are expected against Smith, who is said to be a key suspect in drug trafficking in the Tug Valley area, according to the MCSD spokesman.
Several controlled buys were made by the Task Force and this has been an ongoing investigation, according to Sheriff James Smith.
Smith was arrested, along with Dwight Warren, on felony of kidnapping and armed robbery charges.
The two allegedly held a man at gunpoint and robbed him of his belongings.
Warren, 39, of Williamson, and Smith, 40, also of Williamson, allegedly entered the home of Robert Murphy and held him at gun point. The two suspects were charged with robbing Murphy of his personal belongings. Then, while under gun point, forced him to his vehicle against his own will and ordered him to drive them to an unspecified location.
According to the MCSD, anyone who uses the threat of deadly force by presenting a firearm or other deadly weapon is guilty of robbery in the first degree and, upon conviction thereof, shall be imprisoned in a state correctional facility not less than ten years.
The two were arraigned in front of Mingo County Magistrate Dee Sidebottom and then the case was sent to Circuit Court Judge Miki Thompson.
The case is still under investigation, according to Sheriff Smith.

Book Reviews:
One woman's claimed assay of Muslim and American values. In this aftereffect to her allusive abstraction of Muslim, Christian and Jewish character (The Acceptance Club, co-authored with Suzanne Oliver and Priscilla Warner, 2006), Idliby hones in on her family's adventures as American Muslims anon afterward 9/11. The columnist and her husband, again longtime Manhattanites and self-described "secular Muslims," aback begin themselves and their accouchement challenged by "Muslims who allege for us and Americans who adios us." Thus confronted with again calls to annual for the accomplished of Islam, and skewed angle of a agitated Islam at that, Idliby was affected to attending aural at what Muslim and American ethics she captivated dear. The columnist archive that reflection, as this babe of a Palestinian ancestor and Kuwaiti mother who had spent her adolescence shuttling amid Virginia and Dubai acutely relates to her own children's post-9/11 faculty of actuality the "other." Hoping for bigger for her American-born children, Idliby tailors her animadversion for a abundantly Islam-illiterate American audience, debunking a cardinal of boundless misconceptions about Islam. Refusing to accept her children's worldviews attenuated by "clerics who canvass seventh aeon complete acquiescence as the alone accurate Islam," Idliby acerb advocates for account the Quran in the cultural ambience of its time and not as accurate article for 21st-century society. For example, the columnist explains that changeable head-covering is a amusing assemblage and admonishes those donning the niqab (full face covering) for opting to be "buried animate beneath a atramentous tent" and, thereby, "erased of their identities." In Mecca, Islam's holiest city, Idliby additionally credibility out, "face coverings are banned," accent one of the memoir's axial points—that "Islam is not a nationality, but a faith, as assorted and assorted as its abounding billion adherents." Such assortment of belief, Idliby compellingly argues, aligns able-bodied with American appearance and admired behavior in equality, assortment and justice. A bold, intimate, acceptable assay of reconciling one's acceptance in America.
For many Americans, the words 'American' and 'Muslim' simply do not marry well; for many the combination is an anathema, a contradiction in values, loyalties, and identities. This is the story of one American Muslim family―the story of how, through their lives, their schools, their friends, and their neighbors, they end up living the challenges, myths, fears, hopes, and dreams of all Americans. They are challenged by both Muslims who speak for them and by Americans who reject them. In this moving memoir, Idliby discusses not only coming to terms with what it means to be Muslim today, but how to raise and teach her children about their heritage and religious legacy. She explores life as a Muslim in a world where hostility towards Muslims runs rampant, where there is an entire industry financed and supported by think tanks, authors, film makers, and individual vigilantes whose sole purpose is to vilify and spread fear about all things Muslim. Her story is quintessentially American, a story of the struggles of assimilation and acceptance in a climate of confusion and prejudice―a story for anyone who has experienced being an "outsider" inside your own home country.

Music can be so relaxing and actually mood changing if you think about it. Just hearing one of my favorite songs can instantly change my mood from down in the dumps to happy and ready to take on the new day! When I do listen to music in my home, I basically have to have my phone with me all the time since my smartphone is the device that pretty much has everything I use and need.
If you're like me and don't own a fancy surround sound system and would prefer something much more subtle and advanced then you seriously need to check out these products from AwoX.
I received two awesome lighting products, one is the AwoX Striim Light with WiFi and the other is the AwoX Striim Light Mini Color bulb. Both are amazing and unlike anything I have ever seen before.
The AwoX Striim Light with Wifi is one of those high tech products that you'll fall in love with and wonder how you ever managed without it. It's an LED light bulb with built in wireless bluetooth speaker and an infrared remote control so you can access the light and the speaker from anywhere in your room. Pair it with any device that you can play music on, like your smartphone or even a tablet.
This WiFi music light basically is a light bulb with a speaker and will fit into any standard lamp socket just like your average light bulb would fit. After you have installed the Striim Light into your lamp, then simply download the app, pair it with your device and voila! You have music and lighting all in one place! The sound quality is excellent and you can adjust the volume and lighting. I love having this in my home...it makes me feel very high tech and like I have a built in stereo system but better!
The AwoX Striim Light Mini Color bulb is just as technologically advanced but with a different function...you get color! All of the features are pretty much the same technology with that added bonus to give your room a little extra pizazz! My light is blue and to me that is a very soothing color. It relaxes me and is calming. Perfect for the bedroom if you ask me!

Life Cycle Assessment of Municipal Solid Waste Systems to Prioritize and Compare their Methods with Multi-Criteria Decision Making Hamid Reza Feili *, Assistant Professor, Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch, Iran email@example.com mobile: +989123108647 Peyman Ahmadian, B.Sc, Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch, Iran firstname.lastname@example.com mobile: +989387731960 Emad Rabiei, B.Sc, Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch, Iran firstname.lastname@example.com mobile: +989194376369
How to choose an energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and economically affordable municipal solid waste (MSW) management system has been a major challenge to be taken up by decision makers. Although life cycle assessment (LCA) has been widely used for the evaluation of energy consumption and environmental burden, the economic factor is not considered yet in LCA procedures. Thus, in the present study life cycle 2E (energy and environment) assessment is extended to a 3E (energy, environment, and economy) model. To evaluate economic performance, life cycle cost (LCC) is adjusted in accordance with LCA. Afterwards, multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method is improved to integrate 3E factors. Besides, a two-step weight factor analysis is added, not only to test the robustness of the model, but also to adopt different preferences proposed by different stakeholder groups. This novel 3E model is then applied for the comparison of different MSW treatment technologies.
manage municipal solid waste (MSW) How to manage municipal solid waste (MSW) in an appropriate way is a worldwide issue and draws particular attention in China, where rapid economic growth has resulted in an unprecedented rise in MSW generation. More than 200 million tons of MSW are produced every year, with an annual increasing rate of 8–10%. Facing this pressure, strategies and policies relating to waste management become a major challenge to be developed by decision makers. Different governments have implemented various laws and regulations to enhance waste management. A waste hierarchy involving recycling and reuse has been proposed, but improvements on treatment technologies are still indispensable. At present, only a limited number of technologies are widely applied. Landfill is most commonly used and accounts for approximately 95% of the total collected MSW worldwide
Conceptual model formulation Some issues need to be solved when linking 3E factors together: (1) Different factors always have different units and orders of magnitude. Thus, a ''normalization'' step is essential to make the factors comparable to each other. (2) The model should be able to reflect the preferences made by different stakeholder groups. For MSW management, society is often divided into three groups: government, enterprise and residents. TOPSIS is a widely accepted MCDM technique based on the concept that the ideal alternative has the best level for all considered attributes; while the negative ideal is the one with all worst attribute values. Solutions are defined as points that are farthest from the negative ideal point and closest to the ideal point simultaneously.
LCC calculation Mathematical model formulation In general, costs can be divided into investment cost, operation cost, and decommissioning cost. In order to share the same time boundary as LCA, time value of money is considered. Future cost is discounted to present value by using discounting rate, as estimated in Eq.
Mathematical model formulation… MCDM calculation: The calculation procedure of combined TOPSIS and AHP are presented as follows. Step 1: Calculate the normalized decision matrix: where, rij = normalized value for each criterion; fij = original calculation value for each criterion; m = the number of alternatives; n = the number of criteria. In the present study, 3E factors are defined as the three evaluation criteria
Step 2: Determine the weight for each criteria by AHP Pair-wise comparisons are carried out to decide which criterion is more preferred and how much greater than the other one, where larger number means larger differences between criteria levels. Afterwards, the comparison matrix is generated to compute the entire weight for each criterion. The reliability of the weights can be accepted if CR (consistency ratio) is less than 0.1. Step 3: Calculate the weighted normalized decision matrix:
Step 4: Calculate the ideal and negative ideal solution: Step 5: Calculate the separation measures of each alternative: Step 6: Calculate the relative closeness coefficient for each alternative to the ideal solution:
Step 7: Rank for alternatives, where a higher closeness coefficient is expected to be obtained. Weight factor analysis A two-step weight factor analysis is considered. Firstly, weight variations from 0 to 1 are assigned to each criterion until changes in final ranking appear. Thus, stability intervals for different
Decision Procedure
where is the largest eigenvalue of.provides several algorithms for approximating the eigenvector w.
A two-stage algorithm to solve for ANP-procedure was programmed. This involves forming a new n* n matrix by dividing each element in a column by the sum of the column elements and then summing the elements in each row of the resultant matrix and dividing by the n elements in the row. The procedure may be algebraically represented as:
Explanation To verify the consistency of the comparison matrices, a 'consistency index' as well as a 'consistency ratio' were adopted. The consistency index (CI) was deployed: The consistency ratio (CR) is useful for identifying errors in the decision makers' judgments as well as actual inconsistencies in the judgments themselves.
where the 'average consistency index' (RI) varies depending on the size (n) of the matrix. Accordingly, the acceptable range for the consistency ratio also varies as a function of the matrix size. For example, for matrices with n≥5, i.e., the matrix dimension is 5* 5 or larger CR ≤ 0.1.That implies: if CR ≤ 0.1 the estimated value of w is accepted; otherwise, the corresponding decision maker was asked to adapt the priorities again until CR ≤ 0.1.CR was calculated for each matrix (more than 100) of the three decision makers as well as after combining the matrices on the basis of the geometric mean. The results of the inconsistency check for the cluster, including the required values as well as the e-Vector, which is important to determine the most suitable supplier, are presented in Table 1. The priority weights show that the cluster 'implementation management' (IM) has the most influence on the objective (Obj.) with a priority of 0.3621. This is followed by the cluster 'organizational factors' (OF) with 0.2440; 'risk factors' (RF) with 0.1570; 'supplier profile' (SP) with 0.1444; and finally 'CO2 management competencies' (CC) with 0.0925. Within this matrix, CR was calculated as follows (Eqs. (4.3) and (4.4) combined):
Conclusion This paper presents a multidimensional life cycle 3E model for MSW systems that accounts for energy, environment and cost. LCA is used to calculate the energy consumption and environmental burden; while LCC examines the system's financial cost in parallel with LCA. Afterwards, MCDM is conducted to integrate all the 3E factors, where TOPSIS and AHP are combined and implemented. To illustrate the model.Three commonly used MSW treatment technologies are compared : (1) scenario 1: landfill without energy recovery; (2) scenario 2: landfill; (3) scenario 3: incineration with WTE. Results show that scenario 3 is the best choice from the perspective of energy and environment, while scenario 2 performs better from the economic perspective. Scenario 1 is always ranking last. Aggregating the individual factors, the 3E model show that scenario 3 is the best technology to be recommended, with scenario 1 the worst choice.

When these two animals become the first European-trained horses to run at Flemington in 19 days' time, small-worlders will doubtless point out that racing will have, at last, become a global sport.
But, for Dermot Weld and Lord Huntingdon, the respective trainers, the excursion is no more predictable than the one for mariners in the days when the world was meant to end in a waterfall. 'We are pioneers and we'll no doubt make mistakes on this trip,' Weld, Vintage Crop's trainer, says. 'I certainly will learn and hope to do it again in the future.'
Ireland's champion trainer has already shown the atlas has as much prominence as the form book at his Curragh yard. He won the Hong Kong Invitation Bowl in 1991 with Additional Risk, and, uniquely, for a European-trained horse, took a leg of the American Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, the previous year with Go And Go.
'I've been successful in winning major races on three continents and I want to see if I can do it on a fourth,' he says. 'It's also a tremendous challenge to see if it's possible to take a horse from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere and do well.'
This, however, is also a challenge about money. While racing in Britain remains in such a parlous state financially there will be continuing interest in competing abroad. Weekend trips to the Continent, once considered daring forays, are now commonplace; the Breeders' Cup series is the natural climax to the season for all the best thoroughbreds and now the Melbourne Cup, the fourth richest open race in the world, has been incorporated.
The running rails, though, have had to be moved to ensure Europeans travel to the Antipodes. 'Last year I would have gone but for the quarantine restrictions in Australia,' Weld says. 'I believe the quarantine requirements were archaic, outdated, outmoded and not from this century, but they've been dramatically changed because of all the pressure that Lord Huntingdon and I have exerted on the Australian authorities.'
That means that both horses spent two weeks in isolation here and are currently at the beginning of a similar period at Sandown, the newest of four racecourses in Melbourne.
Vintage Crop, who won the Irish St Leger, beating Drum Taps into fifth, on their latest outing at The Curragh a month ago, is recovering from his journey via Frankfurt, Dubai and Hong Kong. 'From the time he left my yard here until he got to Sandown racetrack he was 38 hours travelling,' Weld says.
Paul Keating, the Australian premier, is unlikely to be supporting Drum Taps, who is trained by a peer who lists the Queen among his owners. The horse, though, travels as well as Alan Whicker, and of his career record of 14 victories from 25 starts, there are wins in the USA, Italy, France and Japan to his name.
'It's asking a lot of our two, but in both cases you've got horses that are proven over the trip, proven as fresh horses and don't seem to mind what type of ground they race on,' Huntingdon says.
While the duo had to travel over 10,000 miles to Australia's second largest city, they will, unlike European runners in the Breeders' Cup in California, be accustomed to the weather. It is springtime in Melbourne.
Locals, used to seeing their horses run preparation races up to two days before the Cup, believe it impossible to win the race after a six-week break. Huntingdon, who has worked in Australia before, concedes they may be right but says he will be bringing back a store of knowledge when he returns to Europe.
'Obviously we are at a bit of a disadvantage, but unless someone tries to do it we'll never know if it's possible,' he says. 'If they have travelled well and run up to their ability, there's no reason why it shouldn't open the doors to other people who might want to take this on. The Melbourne Cup has got such a unique history and place of its own and it's a challenge to see if it can become a truly international race.'

A few weeks ago at my Zumba class (any other Zumba lovers out there??) my friend and I saw a girl wearing a super cute knit shirt. And of course, we said, "We can make that!"
So I did. And now you can, too.
Here's what you need:
- knit fabric
- lace
- sewing machine/accessories
I've got three girls, hence the three colors of lace!
You'll need to start off by measuring your little gal from elbow to elbow, with her arms spread out wide, like this:
You'll also need to measure how long you want the shirt from shoulder to where you want it to sit. I did right to my daughter's hips.
I wanted the lace parts to be about two inches, so I took a couple inches off of my width measurement. For instance, my daughter's arm span was 20 inches. I cut the width at 18 inches. This made the sleeves slightly longer than hitting at her elbow (as you can see above). You can adjust this however you like!
Cut your fabric with the fold being the width measurement that you took from elbow to elbow.
Go ahead and hem up the two bottom edges, not attaching them to each other at all! Account for your hem when cutting your length!
Set that aside, and get your lace out for cutting. Like I said, I wanted my lace to be about two inches, so I cut it four inches wide so that I could just fold it over when I attached it to the main body of the shirt. Since my hem took off about an inch from my length measurement, I cut my lace about an inch shorter than my length measurement. For example, my original length measurement was 15 inches, so I cut my lace to 14 inches. Do this with your lace folded over – you want it to be all one piece!
Unfold the body of your shirt. Fold the lace in half, length wise, and pin the raw edges to the raw edge of the wide of your shirt. Sew it in place.
Finish your edges, flip the lace out and top stitch.
Repeat on the other side.
With your shirt folded back over, you are going to find the exact middle, and cut a slit for the head, making sure to catch the front and the back. Start smaller! You can always cut more if it doesn't work. For my four year old, I cut the slit to five inches.
It's knit, so you can just leave it as is if you want!
Now you need to figure out how fitted you want the shirt to be. I measured across my daughter, and added 1-2 inches on each side so that she would have room to move. I also measured down to how far I wanted the side seams to come up – close to her arm pit. Pin both layers of the shirt in place.
Sew where your pins are, being careful to sew through both layers (make sure your bottom hems are matched up!) and not to go further than where your last pin is! Use a zig zag or interlocking stitch to give the shirt a bit of stretch.
That's it!
Doesn't look like much of a shirt, does it? But then you put it on a cute girl, and ta-da!
Show off those flowy sleeves!
And hello, cute baby!
Pretty cute, right?
And where is my third daughter you ask? Well, my two year old has a huge aversion to having her picture taken at the moment, so this is where she was hiding during our little photo shoot.
Here are the measurements I used for my three girls:
Width (on fold): 18 inches
Length: 15 inches
Lace (cut two on fold): 4.5 inches by 14 inches
12 inches across between side seams
5 inch slit for head
Width (on fold): 17 inches
Length: 14 inches
Lace (cut two on fold): 4.5 inches by 13 inches
12 inches across between side seams
4.5 inch slit for head
6-9 months
Width (on fold): 12 inches
Length: 11 inches
Lace (cut two on fold): 3.5 inches by 11 inches
Aaaand I didn't write down what I did for the other two parts. Sorry!

I guess it comes down to whether it turns out to be a valuable job-preserving / gaining skill someday. My original need for it is now gone (a mountaineering club web site I no longer maintain).

DescriptionForeign object retention in healthcare, aviation and other industries Psycho-social outcomes and mechanisms of self-help groups Just culture and culpability decision making Organisational, professional and national cultures and their relations to human factors The meaning and use of incident information Efficiency and effectiveness of training methodologies and processes Assessment methodologies for non-technical skills Models of human competence Integrated risk management The use of virtual and augmented reality for training, operations management, risk assessment and safety management
- Title
- Developing a multi-faceted approach to reducing and mitigating the risk of foreign object retention
- Summary
- Over 1,000 Irish FOR incidents between 2011 and 2015 represent unnecessary suffering patients, reputational cost/damage to the healthcare service, institution and clinician and financial cost in claims and rework. FOR is an intractable human factors problem because removing materials after a task is not integrated into the natural task sequence, thus more susceptible to a "lapse" error. While the problem traverses tasks and industries the challenges can be specific to the sector, organisation, team, task and object. Generic risk controls need to be tailored to the specific context. Healthcare-specific human factors may be the hierarchical structure of medical/surgical teams, interdisciplinary communication, the culture around "speaking up" and the training history in a "conservative profession". The objective of this research project will be to integrate the best of existing methods into a foreign object management process and an implementation roadmap. The foreign object management process is a generic process which can be customised for application to diverse contexts. The implementation roadmap is a framework for introducing, customising and embedding the process in a hospital, including stakeholder identification and engagement, training, resourcing and continuous improvement. Two pilot hospitals have been chosen to analyse surgical and obstetric services. Two groups of stakeholders from the pilot hospitals will be identified and engaged with throughout the project - process stakeholders (surgeons, obstetricians, theatre nurses, midwives) and system stakeholders (hospital administrators, educators, device manufacturers, risk managers, patient representatives, indemnifiers, regulators). The project brings together an experienced multi-disciplinary team from human factors, psychology, risk & change management, surgery, obstetrics /gynaecology, nursing/midwifery. Human factors and risk management tools - process modelling, bowtie, stakeholder analysis - will be applied to analyse the challenges and develop the most effective solutions. The project team includes stakeholders in key positions in the health services to enable effective execution, dissemination and uptake of the projects results.

- Title
- The social and psychological mechanisms and outcomes of self-help groups in Ethiopia
- Summary
- A number of studies have confirmed that the Self Help Group (SHG) approach brings about various levels of change and empowerment while accumulating financial capital, as well as being cost-effective. Tearfund's underlying theory of change asserts that relationships and social capital are key towards achieving this. However studies conducted so far have touched on this, yet not researched this mechanism in depths from a psychological perspective. Emphasis has been largely on tangible benefits, though a psychological lens is believed to reveal intangible mechanisms and benefits. It is anticipated that a better understanding of the role of relationships and social capital in the SHGs will further improve the quality of the implementation if the Self Help Group approach. This research aims to: . Evaluate the impact of SHGs on the social, psychological and spiritual wellbeing of their members . Elucidate the features SHGs which promote, and those that may hamper, achieving this impact . Elaborate and adjust the Tearfund theory of change for SHG The study comprises mixed methods study of ten SHGs. The SHGs were chosen deliberately to include: . Five young ( less than 2 years) and five older ( more than 5 years) SHGs . High (5), Medium (4) and Low (1) functioning SHGs . SHGs from two regions - Oromiya and Wolaita Four data collection methods are being used in the study Surveys of the SHG members, including: o Demographic data o Self-evaluations of current status and changes since joining the SHG in finances, health, education, and wellbeing o Standardised scales of key psycho-social and spiritual dimensions o Team evaluation items In-depth focus groups with the SHGs focussed on elaborating their understanding of how the SHGs work, how they influence change in their members' lives and what the key mechanisms are Profiling of SHGs using a structured interview with key informants and reference to data gathered by Tearfund or its partners: o Date of formation, location, ethnic and religious composition, etc. o Local socio-political and economic context o Any significant events in the history of the SHG - internal conflicts, members leaving, drought challenges Semi-structured observations of the focus groups to gather data on non-verbal behaviours and team interactions

- Title
- Innovation through Human Factors in risk analysis and management (InnHF)
- Summary
- The INNHF main objective is to formalize an approach and make it possible to integrate the current and developing assessment methods recommended or required by recognized industrial standards and methodologies, with an easy to use but complete human factors and system health management approach, the following goals will be achieved: 1) Review of the applicability of most the recent generation of standards that are not yet fully acquired by different industries and verification of their effectiveness in safety assessment. 2) Devising a method to account qualitatively and quantitatively for the human factor in the wider applied risk assessment methodologies. Verifying how a proper account of the impact of human and organizational factors (H&OF) in the operational phase may provide a sensitive change in the results of the assessments. 3) Reviewing the methods to account qualitatively and quantitatively for maintenance effectiveness, also taking into account HOFs, verifying how a proper account of the maintenance strategy may provide a sensitive change in the results of the assessments. 4) To translate the results of the analysis performed through the novel approach in a factual design improvement initiative for new or existing plant or machinery able to provide leverage for competitive advantage (maximum availability, minimum unscheduled shutdowns of production, economic maintenance, minimum incident and accident). 5) The final objective of the project will be the development of a training program aimed at covering all the technical areas of expertise necessary to successfully carry out the case studies objectives. This training program will be initially rolled out internally to provide new researcher with a set of innovative skills to maximize the employment prospects for new researchers in large and/or SM enterprises. Further the training materials and content developed will also be offered to the wider community of the relevant industrial domains for the purpose of testing and dissemination.

Complicated Surgery
I'm giving Dr Dinsmore very high marks for navigating a complex cataract surgery in an eye that had sustained an injury decades ago. He demonstrated absolute professionalism as he diagnosed the damage and developed a plan to execute the surgery in a manner that accounted for the prior injury. There was no cookie cutter formula here. It's nice to know that Dr Dinsmore is a detailed surgeon who is on top of his game and looking to assure the best outcome for his patients.

February 19th, 2013
Dr. Dinsmore provides great service and is a very good doctor. Also, I happen to know that he did bilateral cataract surgery on a patient who had no insurance for a very reasonable cost. He's a good doctor and a good person.
