Modern Evaporative Coolers
Not all evaporative coolers are created equal. Modern machines operate more efficiently and with much less fuss than the old swamp coolers did.
Dave Emmitt owns Direct Drive Service, a company in Colorado that specializes in efficient lowmass boilers—and high-efficiency evaporative coolers. We're not talking swamp coolers on the roof of a mobile home; Emmitt's staff install coolers in the attics of large, site-built homes. The coolers pull in air from large gable vents, cool it by 30°F or so, and distribute it via several large ducts, typically to a hallway below. Cool air is directed by the patterns of window openings or by backdraft dampers, also known as up ducts, in the ceilings of rooms on the top story. The process is controlled by a multifunction thermostat that has the smarts to throttle back the fan speed when the setpoint temperature is about to be met, rinses out the reservoir to keep water and air clean, and partially automates much of the end-of-season maintenance.
"We install modern evaporative cooler systems in new homes that cost $2 million," reports Emmitt. "These people can afford conventional compressor-based cooling and the higher bills that go with it, but they prefer the better comfort and fresh, clean air our systems give them. The $300 we save them on their utility bill each summer just pays for a barbeque with 50 of their closest friends."
Emmitt's retrofit business is also doing quite well. Colorado homeowners who have never had cooling systems generally tend to install conventional A/C systems—as do those who are disenchanted with their old swamp coolers. But if Emmitt gets to them first, they are more likely to upgrade to one of the high-quality evaporative coolers he installs, which deliver two or three ACH and wash the pollen out of that air before it gets inside. Emmitt is enjoying a growing customer base, fueled largely by word of mouth from happy customers.
Evaporative Cooling Innovations
Emmitt wouldn't be getting the same good word of mouth if he were selling old-fashioned swamp coolers, but modern evaporative coolers are several technological leaps ahead of those old machines.All evaporative coolers— old and new—rely on the same design principle:Water can be used to cool air.Air blowing through a wet medium—a tee shirt, aspen fibers (excelsior) or treated cellulose,fiberglass, or plastic—evaporates some of the water and its dry bulb temperature is lowered (see "Wet's the Difference:Dry Bulb and Wet Bulb Temperatures"). The cooling effect of an evaporative cooler depends on two factors. The first is the local difference between the air's dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures; the second is the cooler's efficiency (see Table 1, p. 27). Exactly how an evaporative cooler takes advantage of water's chilling effect—the pathway and the velocity of the air as it passes over the media combined with the condition of the media—determines how efficient it is as a cooling device.
Today's evaporative coolers come in one of three general designs: direct, indirect, and indirect/direct. Modern direct evaporative coolers couple high-performance media—generally plastic-coated cellulose—with low-velocity air flow. This combination maximizes moisture transfer from the wet media to the hot, dry air.The effectiveness with which an appliance makes this transfer—known in the trade as its direct saturation effectiveness— is a key measurement of the appliance's cooling efficiency.
Direct evaporative coolers humidify the incoming air, making them inappropriate for use in humid climates. Indirect evaporative coolers take advantage of evaporative cooling effects, but use an air-to-air heat exchanger to cool without raising the humidity of the cooled airstream. Indirect/direct coolers cool in two stages. In the first stage, the air passes through an indirect cooler, which lowers the temperature without adding humidity.The air that enters the second, direct cooling stage is already substantially cooler than the outside air, and it can be cooled a good deal more because it's still largely dry. Combining these two techniques enables efficient indirect/direct units to deliver air that is cooler than the outside wet bulb temperature.
After losing a good deal of market share to conventional cooling, there's optimism in the evaporative cooling industry that higher-quality units will lead the way to recovery (see "Copious Refinements," p. 28). One particularly promising new design is being manufactured by Speakman CRS—short for Clean,Renewable, Sustainable—a branch of the Speakman Company, a firm that has been producing showerheads and other water-related products for more than 130 years. The company manufactures an indirect/direct evaporative cooler, called the OASys, that was developed by the Davis Energy Group in Davis, California (see Figure 1).
The OASys system uses a single blower that pulls in outside air and directs most of it—about 70%—through the dry side of a heat exchanger that uses 14- inch-thick media to efficiently and indirectly cool the airstream without adding moisture. This partially cooled air then passes through a direct-cooling module before being directed into the home. About 30% of the outside airstream is used in the other, wet side of the counterflow heat exchanger, where it is cooled, gathers moisture, and is then discharged to the outdoors. Water from both the indirect- and the direct-cooling processes gathers in a single reservoir, which is purged with a frequency that is tied to the amount of scale-causing minerals in local tap water and the rate of water use by the system. The rate of water use in turn depends on the blower speed, which is controlled by a multifunction thermostat.
This machine incorporates a number of improvements over earlier indirect/direct evaporative coolers designed for residential use. It employs a single polyethylene cabinet that houses all parts of the system. This substantially simplifies the overall design, helps maintain tolerances, shortens assembly time, and ensures a long lifetime. The OASys also uses an electronically commutated motor (ECM) controlled by a smart thermostat, so blower speed can be changed while maintaining high motor efficiency. This is important, because overall system efficiency of the OASys is best at low fan speeds and low air flow rates (see Figure 2).
Engineers at the Davis Energy Group took these plots of efficiency at different flow rates and other test results—such as temperatures delivered under different conditions of wet and dry bulb temperatures— and performed simulations of a very efficient 1,600 ft2 home in eight of California's climate zones.The results for Fresno are most pertinent for the Southwest, as Fresno has a hot, arid climate not unlike many locations in the Southwest (1% dry bulb 101ºF, mean coincident wet bulb 70ºF).The base case home with a conventional DX air conditioning system rated at 12-SEER uses 1,890 kWh per year with a peak of 3 kW, while the OASys uses 135 kWh per year with a peak of 0.52 kW. This amounts to an annual energy savings of 93% and a peak demand savings of 83%.
In another evaporative cooling development, AdobeAir has recently introduced its own series of efficient evaporative coolers that fit in a sidewall (see Figure 3).These units are easy to install either in new dwellings or as retrofits and have clear aesthetic and mechanical advantages over rooftop or concrete-pad-mounted coolers.
Water and Energy Use
There's no getting away from the fact that an evaporative cooler relies on, and so consumes, a significant amount of water, but the newer units use up much less than the old-fashioned coolers do. Evaporating 1 lb of water yields about 1,060 Btu of cooling. Accordingly, if an evaporative cooler were 100% effective, 1 gallon of water would yield roughly 8,800 Btu of evaporative cooling. If the flow of water and the flow of air are well matched in a carefully designed evaporative cooler, the air is cooled efficiently and most of the water in the media is evaporated. However, some extra water is needed to flush out the residue of air pollutants and scale in the water. In inefficient units,water that is not evaporated by the cooler is continuously diluted by makeup water in the
reservoir or sump, with the residue going down an overflow drain. This bleed system continuously dilutes the water and reduces the concentration of scale and impurities, but this method of cleaning wastes water.
Higher-quality units use a more effective and less wasteful batch process to deal with impurities. The sump is typically sloped so that heavier pollutants and scale tend to collect at the bottom. There is no continuous dilution; instead, after the cooler has run for several hours, the reservoir is drained and flushed automatically. Well-designed machines key the need for dumping to the elapsed run time of the pump so as to keep the sump full, but not overflowing.The residue of several gallons from this sump dump may be piped to a nearby garden. With this system of periodic purging, almost all of the water—over 95% in most places—is used to provide cooling.And the amount of water that is discharged is well matched to the needs of a garden; more water is delivered on hot days when the evaporative cooler works the most and plants are especially thirsty.
The trade-off for this water use at a home is that evaporative coolers reduce a power plant's use of water to generate electricity, because they use substantially less energy for cooling than conventional direct expansion (DX) air conditioning systems would. Generating 1 kWh of electricity with a thermoelectric plant in the Southwest uses about 0.5 gallons of water.
I ran simulations to estimate the energy and water used for cooling in six cities in the Southwest (see Table 2). The homes modeled are efficient 1,800 ft2 structures whose overall energy use is 48% lower than that of homes that just meet the requirements of the year 2000 International Energy Conservation Code for the weather conditions associated with each city. I assumed that the DX systems have an energy efficiency rating (EER) of 11.1—roughly corresponding to a seasonal energy efficiency rating (SEER) of 12.9—and a thermostat setpoint of 76°F.
According to this analysis, modern residential evaporative coolers in the Southwest use an average of 5,800 gallons of water per year at the site, ranging from 2,400 gallons in Cheyenne to 8,600 gallons in Phoenix. For singlefamily households, this figure represents an average of only 3.3% of annual water use. However, from the overall environmental point of view, which takes into account water used at the power station, net water use for evaporative cooling averages 3,900 gallons of water per year, ranging from 1,700 gallons in Cheyenne to 5,900 gallons in Phoenix.
Most important by far is the savings in electricity use—and cost to the consumer— achieved by using evaporative instead of DX-based cooling (see Table 3). I compared the annual cost to the end user of using either a DX-based or an evaporative system to cool an 1,800 ft2 new home that slightly exceeds Energy Star standards in five Southwestern cities.When local water rates are higher with increased consumption, the computations shown assume the higher marginal cost per gallon of water used. Water and electricity rates applicable to singlefamily residences in each city in 2003 were used to estimate costs.
First costs of cooling equipment tend to be a function of their efficiency, whether the systems are conventional or evaporative coolers. In the case of conventional A/C units, split systems have more than 3 times the market share of packaged systems. Average costs weighted for market share are $1,771 for A/C equipment and $3,265 for installed costs.
Single-stage evaporative cooling systems that have a saturation effectiveness of greater than 80% under all operating conditions, variable-speed (or at least two-speed) motors, and a sump dump feature for effective cleaning with minimal water use, cost from $600 to $1,120, depending on saturation effectiveness and blower horsepower. Blower horsepower is the principal factor that determines air flow rates. Equipment for indirect/direct evaporative coolers whose saturation effectiveness is in the 105%–110% range cost from $1,700 to slightly less than $3,000. Installation costs are lower than they are for central A/C systems, largely because ductwork is substantially simplified. Installations on a concrete pad next to a home cost from $600 to $1,000, while attic installations run from $800 to $1,400, depending on the number of upducts that must be installed, and on such factors as access to plumbing and electricity.
Considering these cost ranges, the total installed cost for an efficient single-stage evaporative cooling system is typically between $1,600 and $2,200. The total installed cost for an efficient indirect/direct evaporative cooler is on the order of $2,500 to $3,500. In general, installed costs for efficient evaporative equipment are lower than installed costs for comparable compressor-based central cooling systems. Lifetime (20- year) costs—including first costs, maintenance costs, and energy costs over 20 years—are on the order of $5,500 in the Southwest. For a comparable compressor- based cooling system, lifetime costs would be roughly double, depending on the local climate.
Utility Incentive Programs
Meeting demand for electric power during peak periods in the summer is a major—and burgeoning—problem for most utilities in the fast-growing Southwest. Indeed, peak demand is rising faster than total electricity sales throughout the region. Most new homes in the Southwest include air conditioners whose demands are at least 3 kW—sometimes much more—and existing housing is increasingly being retrofitted with conventional air conditioning. Given these considerations, a number of utility companies have initiated demand-side management (DSM) programs that provide incentives to owners of both existing and new homes to install energy-efficient evaporative cooling equipment.
In California, both the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and Southern California Edison (SCE) have programs that provide incentive payments of $300 to $500 for the purchase of energy-efficient evaporative coolers. To qualify, units must have a saturation efficiency of 85% or better; must have sump water removal systems (no water-wasting continuous bleeding systems); and must be configured to automatically exhaust air through pressure relief dampers (up ducts) into the attic, and then through attic vents to the outdoors. SCE requires a variable-speed fan and a dedicated thermostat remote from the cooler. Both utilities offer an additional rebate of $100 for the installation of up ducts in the attic.
In Colorado, Utah Power and Xcel Energy are expanding their programs that support evaporative cooling installations. Both utilities are experimenting with ways to steer consumers toward buying highly efficient units while still providing some incentives for lower-end evaporative coolers. Other utilities in the Southwest either have small-scale programs in operation or are in the planning stages.
I am hopeful that these types of program, as well as partnerships between programs like DOE's Building America and those conducted by local utility companies, will persuade production builders to construct model homes that illustrate the advantages of excellent evaporative cooling.These examples could help to establish the credibility of modern evaporative cooler systems that are appropriately integrated into welldesigned homes.
To bring the technology to full fruition, designers and builders need to think of evaporative cooler systems as systems thoroughly integrated into energy-efficient structures. Techniques for sealing them carefully and simply during shoulder and winter seasons, and to eliminate the risk of freezing, need to be developed. Up ducts need to be redesigned to be thoroughly insulated and positively sealed during times when cooling is not needed, and optimized to ensure good distribution of cooling air. Further, controls need to be developed that not only vary fan speeds and control water-cleaning cycles, but also monitor efficiency performance to signal the need for maintenance. Finally, there is room for improvement in the heat exchanger technology used in indirect cooling systems. Several companies are working to develop more efficient systems that require less pressure drop across indirect media while achieving more effective cooling.

A traditional culinary tour of Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Posted on : 12 December 2012
Categories : Cuisine
One of the most unique experiences that I had on my trip to Indonesia was when I decided to go on a culinary tour in one of Indonesia's biggest cities, Yogyakarta. I wasn't really sure what to expect but so far I was loving all of the food that I was eating in Indonesia and hadn't quite yet felt like I was really "getting to know" Indonesia and its people and what better way than to do it through food?
What I didn't know was that I was about to experience one of the craziest things of my life.
The first stop of the tour we went to a famous restaurant in Yogyakarta called "Gudeg Yu Djum" and they are known for making the most and very best Gudeg in the city. The tour started off with us taking a tour of the "kitchen", a rare site that most people normally don't get to see and also one of the craziest things I have ever seen in my life.
At first you start walking down a dimly lit corridor filled with a bit of smoke and the first thing I came to was a lady sitting on the floor ripping leaves to be used for serving the food. She did it very quickly and efficiently making hundreds of them. As the smoke got thicker the heat did as well and I kept making my way further to the back of the building. I'm not sure what this area of the building "kitchen" was called but what I suddenly saw in front of me was half a dozen boiling bubbling couldrens fill with various shades of liquid and textures under hot burning wood and ash. The smoke was almost unbearable but the workers walked around like it was normal, one even was shirtless because of the extreme heat each couldren/pot was giving off.
I continued walking to my left starting to make a counter clockwise tour of the building and I entered a small room full of maybe 11 people all sitting on the floor with their arms up to their elbows in big bowls of water, chicken, blood and guts. They greeted me with smiles and I was told they were cleaning over 300 chickens to be added to the Gudeg. It was like a small watery slaughter house and was something that I had never seen before.
Continuing left I came into another oven type room with pots boiling everywhere which were filled with Jack Fruit (the main ingredient to Gudeg) and boiling eggs. The smoke started to make my eyes water and the heat was immense. Also in this room closer to the front of the building now was an older lady making a sambal type sauce and a man grinding onions and other food for a sauce.
Words almost can't describe what the interior of that kitchen was like, but I was somewhat excited to try the Gudeg now that I had seen how much effort goes into creating it.
Served to us on a cut leaf with rice beef skin and an egg the Gudeg aka cooked jack fruit, was a tasty treat however it might be something for now that I leave for the Yogyakarta-ians to have for themselves. Stay tuned for my video on www.travelyourself.ca depicting the whole experience.

For the dough-
Whole wheat flour/atta- 3 cups(more for dusting)
Maida/All purpose flour- 1 cup
Warm water- 3/4 cup
Yogurt- 1/2 cup
Honey- 1/4 cup
For the red bean paste-
Red beans- 1/2 cup
Sugar- 4-5tbsp
For the dough-
Mix the yeast in warm water and allow it to froth for 10 minutes. Then add the sugar and salt followed by the all purpose flour and 2 cups of atta. use a whisk to mix everything together. Then add the yogurt and honey. Mix well. Now use your palms to knead the dough. Use rest of the wheat flour to form a smooth, loose and non sticky pliable dough. Add oil in the end and ensure the dough is coated with oil. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel. Allow it to rice for 2-3 hours till the volume is almost doubled.
For the red beans paste-
Soak the red beans in water for 6-8 hours. Cook in a pressure cooker till it turns soft. Drain all the water and puree it in a blender. Now add the puree in a saucepan. Add the sugar. Now the mixture will be a little runny. Keep stirring till it becomes a thick paste. Ensure that it does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
How to assemble-
After the dough has doubled, punch the dough and knead it by folding it 4-5 times on a surface containing flour. Pinch a lemon sized portion of the dough. Roll it to a circle by flattening it with your palms. Place a tablespoon of the red beans paste in the center. Seal the open ends.Form a ball and flatten it. Place it on the baking tray lined with grease proof paper. Repeat the same with rest of the dough. Allow it to rise for another 30-40 minutes. Brush the outer surface with melted butter mixed with same quantity of milk. Place this in a preheated oven and bake at 180c for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven. Brush with the remaining butter and milk mixture when its hot. Allow it cool and serve. You can store this in a refrigerator. Microwave for 20 seconds before serving.
Use 4 cups all bread and avoid wheat flour if you want very fluffy buns.
You can also use readymade red beans paste.
You can use egg wash for brushing the buns before baking them for softer surface.

We need a pass rush - help for Wake will significantly help the secondary. Philbin has made it his business getting WRs in the 2-4 rounds, hopefully jeff listens.
Imagine what 2 Cameron wakes would do for this defense
Seriously, did you have to quote that long as post?
BPA WR, CB, or pass rusher. I say that even if we do grab a WR in FA.
Sent from my VS910 4G using Tapatalk 2
Assuming we sign a WR in FA I would go with a pass rushing DE. A front 4 of Wake, Soliai, Starks (when resigned) and anyone of Mingo or Montgomery(LSU), Jones (UofG), Werner (FSU) or Jordan (Or) would give us a great front 4. I'm just hoping one of them is around when we pick. If they are gone I would have to go with probably the highest rated CB or possibly TE. Then again adding a top WR in FA and another with our first pick would be pretty sweet as well. It's looking like no matter what someone is going to be available in the first to fill one of our key weaknesses.
When I die I want to hire the Miami Dolphin's to be my pallbearers so they can let me down one last time.

BPA. This team has alot of holes, so no need to panic. We do need a really good corner so Banks or Milliner may be considered. But in today's NFL, pass rush is more important. Even the good corners get beat now, so you might as well focus on butt kicking pass rushers. I like Bjoern Werner. But if the BPA is a corner, I wouldn't complain. Let it play out.
A good TE like Eifert would be interesting but Miami is likely picking too high for him to be BPA.
Plenty of receivers in the second. Cordarelle Patterson is 6'3 and looks good. I love Stedman Bailey. There will be second round talent. But we REALLY need to get Tannehill a boatload of weapons. Keep Hartline, Bess, and Matthews, and get him a stud TE, a fast receiver and a big receiver. Plus two movement guards. That's 5 needs on offense. Ireland has limited ability to evaluate and understand these positions, so it's scary.
Corner and offensive guard need to be dealt with somewhere.

"I needed a quick ground beef recipe tonight that didn't include pasta and this fit wonderfully! I only had one can of tomato sauce, so I substituted one cup of spaghetti sauce and I added an extra cup of frozen sweet corn. I baked it in a 9x11 dish without problems. It will easily feed our family of four two meals this week."

Good Value recorder
This recorder is affordable and works well. Record quality for 2hr is good and 4hr mode is acceptable. I wouldn't go any longer than 4hr mode. For the price. this model has been great. I had a more expensive panasonic before that had a little better picture quality and functions, but it had so many problems and defects, I was glad when it finally died.Read More
Good product once you figure out the features
I've had the recorder for over a month now and wanted to use it for a bit before reviewing. Like others I found the manual pretty much useless. Had I not had the experience of using/setting up a prior DVD recorder I would have been pretty lost. I"m not a tech genius but I'm also not a total idiot either!! The player itself works well. I like the quality it gives on transfreing older tapes onto DVD. Have actually been very impressed with that feature. Its response is somewhat slow to the remote but overall I would get another one if need be. I do HATE the remote howver. The buttons are very small and the print even smaller. This unit has many more functions on it then I need so there is alot that I don't even use (and havne't been able to figure out from the manual!!) but that is probably my biggest complaint. They really need to make the manual much more user friendly and the print on the remote a brigher color so that you can read what the buttons are!Read More

A few weeks ago someone mentioned in a thread about the productivity of these two. Hartline has 925 yards and Bess has 778 yards. These two are having surprisingly good years despite all the offensive struggles. These guys are pretty good 2nd and 3rd receivers and we need to keep Hartline this offseason. Imagine hoe effective they could be with a true #1 leading the way and taking the pressure off them.
With a true 1 our receivers could be special. Bess, Hartline, Matthews, and a #1 would make for a good core for Tanneyhill to mature with.

Sorry, product information is unavailable at this time.
Herb Pharm was established in March of 1979 in a pristine mountain valley in Williams, Ore. From the beginning, their mission has been unwavering:
"We are committed to providing the highest quality herbal products possible, educating people on the safe and effective use of medicinal herbs and inspiring a love for plants and respect for nature."
Back in the early days, Herb Pharm's "lab" was the home of Ed Smith and Sara Katz, the company's founders and owners. They wanted to establish themselves as the alternative to the rather poor-quality and limited array of medicinal herb products available. Ed and Sara spoke constantly and emphatically of the importance of using organic, high-quality herbs as opposed to the over-dried plant fiber that the few existing companies were using in their products.
Ed and Sara still own and are involved in the daily operations of Herb Pharm, which employs more than 85 people. These operations now include a certified organic herb farm (called the "Pharm Farm").
Herb Pharm's certified organic farm is only two miles from their modern manufacturing facility, enabling control over every aspect of production, from the soil and seed, to the herb extraction, to the finished product shipped to customers. Herb Pharm hand-harvests herbs at their peak potency, and within minutes delivers them, fresh and succulent, to the manufacturing facility for prompt extraction. When it comes to herbs they can't grow themselves, they purchase directly from other certified organic herb farms whose owners they personally know and trust.
Ed and Sara are as picky as ever about the plants they use, as well as their meticulous extraction. Herb Pharm extracts each herb according to its own unique physical and biochemical characteristics at an FDA-inspected, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Herb Pharm is continually looking for ways to improve the quality of their herbal medicines.
Herb Pharm's broad-spectrum extracts seek to mirror the flavor, aroma and natural plant chemistry found in nature. This stands in stark contrast to the ever-increasing trend toward isolating plant constituents, thus modifying their natural array and balance. Herb Pharm is committed to creating herbal extracts that represent the whole plant, and to the fundamental principles of traditional herbal medicine.

Should Twitter block pro-anorexia 'thinspiration' tags?
Eating disorders have gone viral. Online communities that promote self-harm flock under social media tags like #thinspiration (thin + inspiration), #proana (pro-anorexia) and #promia (pro-bulimia). Google (actually, don't) "pro-ana" or other "thinspo" buzzwords and you'll see literally thousands of message boards, websites, social media accounts and other dark little Internet hideaways home to what are [Read More]

Why yes, we have spent a lot of time looking at pretty pics and oohing and aahing over all of the charming details from a few big-ticket celeb weddings these past few months. And, it's been a lot of fun.
But if you're actually planning your own nuptials, you might need something a little more concrete than a blissful shot of Justin and Jessica to start you down the road to the right fete for you (P.S. was anyone else holding out for a JT-and-Brit, denim-clad bash? Just us? Okay, fine.). And whether you're going for a full-on blowout or are thinking more along the lines of a low-key dinner post -a trip to City Hall, some elements remain constant. And, by that, we mean logistics.
So, we hit up Yifat Oren, the wedding planner behind so many of the spectacular affairs you've seen in the tabloids and glossies — Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, and Drew Barrymore, to name just a few — for her best advice for real-life brides-to-be. We're particularly taken by her reliance on the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-sabi, the idea that beauty is meant to be imperfect. Certainly an inspiring way to look at a planning process that can easily send even the most zen woman on a spiraling OCD quest for perfection.
Oh, and the pics from her gorgeous bashes don't hurt either. Ahead, her top 10 tips (some practical, some a bit more fun, but all ultra-useful), plus a little dish picked up over years of celebrity-wedding planning. So, sit back, relax, and let your stress melt away — you're in the hands of a pro, now.

IPA Research Database
Since 1997 the IPA has provided funding for research into psychoanalysis. More than 400 grants have been awarded over that period, and the researchers have published many papers and monographs arising from this work. Each researcher is also required to present a report to the IPA on their research results; more than 200 have now been received and they will, eventually, all be accessible from this page (it takes some time to upload each paper, so this database will grow over the coming weeks and months).
Psychoanalysis has a strong research base. The IPA has supported the development of this base by funding research. This database includes descriptions of research the IPA has supported in the past 15 years.
Our aim is to make the research findings accessible to clinicians, highlighting the practical significance of research for practice. The IPA is indebted to the researchers who have provided the information. Data is still being collected and processed and, as yet, not all the research conducted with the support of the IPA is represented. Publication of further materials is ongoing. Please bookmark this site and return often to check for updates.
This database now includes all the grants awarded by the IPA under its CERP or predecessor programmes. Most of the grants have resulted in reports being sent back to the IPA; but where search results show an abstract but no clickable link, we do not yet have a report for that grant. In some cases this will be because of the closeness to the award date or we have agreed a no-cost time extension to the Principal Investigator to allow the work or the report to be completed.

Pole Position:
Lewis Hamilton (McLaren Mercedes), 1:36.219 = 207.389 km/h
1st: Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), 2hrs 44m 51.812s
2nd: Sergio Perez (Sauber), 2.263s down
3rd: Lewis Hamilton (McLaren Mercedes), 14.591s down
Fastest Lap:
Kimi Raikkonen (Lotus), 1:40.722 = 198.117 km/h on lap 53
1. Press 'Reset': what was all that fuss about Ferrari's F2012 being a flop as soon as it hit the track in Spain? It carried Alonso to his 28th career victory, now out on his own in outright fifth place overall, and the Spaniard now leads the title race on 35 points. Several drivers suffered in the wet opening stages before the Red Flag came out on lap 9, but Fernando kept his head while several around him were losing theirs, pitted at the perfect time for dry tyres near the end and held off a fast-finishing Perez for an outstanding win.
2. Okay, the conditions played their part: pre-race rain meant all bar the two HRT cars started on Pirelli's Cinturato Green intermediate tyres, then there was a Safety Car on lap 7 and a red flag to stop the race on lap 9, the restart coming on full wets after a 51-minute delay. Then it was a question judging when to go back to inters or on to slicks…
3. Yes, Sergio Perez: the 22-year-old Mexican scored his own first podium and the best result ever for Sauber in their own right with a mature, confident drive. Perez came in after one lap to change to full wets and that was the key: at the restart he was th ird on the reformed grid and one of the key players in the race. "I think victory was also within reach," he said ruefully after closing dramatically on the Ferrari in the last laps but running wide through Turns 13 and 14 to give Alonso breathing space.
4. Lewis Hamilton started from pole and Jenson Button made it a McLaren front row lock-out for the second race in a row. Button made contact with Karthikeyan's HRT soon after the restart and wiped off the front wing, putting him on the back foot from that point on. "Pretty much everything that could go wrong in the race did go wrong," he admitted.
5. Hamilton was the early leader but a poor pit stop for intermediates soon after the restart – he missed his marks and then the rear jack didn't function properly – meant he had to wait for Alonso to go past in pit lane and was never in the hunt after that. He was, however, less petulant than after the Melbourne opener, calling it "a tough but fascinating race".
6. Mark Webber overcame a difficult stint on intermediates that inspired no confidence in the driver to bring his Red Bull home fourth for the second race in a row. Twice in the race he had to fight back against team-mate Sebastian Vettel, who started behind him on the grid again and tried to bully his way past. But the Aussie was having none of it. "There were some great strengths to take from this weekend," said Webber, now fourth in the standings, just a point behind Button.
7. Lotus again suffered mixed fortunes: for the second race running Grosjean saw a great grid position squandered in a first-lap argument with Schumacher's Mercedes. While the German pitted and continued, Grosjean had to wait while Raikkonen pitted before he could go in and was soon aquaplaning into the gravel at Turn 5 and out of the race. Raikkonen meanwhile showed enough pace to secure his 36th fastest lap in F1.
8. Mercedes repeated their Melbourne form: strong in qualifying, vulnerable in the race. After Schumacher's early incident he ran in 16th and was never much in the picture until he came through for the final point in 10th; Rosberg was a sitting duck on a first set of inters which, he claimed, degraded unexpectedly fast. Head-scratching time if they want Saturday pace to carry over into Sunday…
9. Australia's Daniel Ricciardo lost ground in the chaotic opening laps and was 12th, with Toro Rosso team-mate stealing the limelight this time with his own maiden World Championship points in 8th place. "I think there were moments in the race when I ran at quite a good pace," said Dan, "but I didn't have that extra edge to move up the order."
10. Last but not least, a cheer for Williams: Bruno Senna survived an early incident to come home 6th, his eight-point haul being three more than the beleaguered former greats managed in the whole of 2011.
Next race: round 3, China, April 15

What is Google data backup strategy? For the paranoid among us is there a practical way to make manual backups of files and folders in Google Drive?
One of the main purposes of cloud computing is that you don't have to worry about backups. Whereas if you store data on your own computer only, and your hard drive dies — that's it, the files are gone forever. With Google and other distributed cloud services, data are stored on many different servers, so even if one of Google's servers dies, your data are not impacted.

Living history
Girl of My Dreams
by Stephanie Piper
The last time a girl was born in the Piper family, Benjamin Harrison was President of the United States. Queen Victoria sat on the throne of England. Women wore leg-of-mutton sleeves, high button shoes, and elaborate pompadours. Horse-drawn buggy was the preferred mode of transportation, and only rich folks had indoor plumbing.
People spoke in awe about the 20th century, still 10 years away. Who could imagine what wonders might be commonplace in that bold new era? Horseless carriages, flying machines, moving pictures. Women voting and holding public office.
In the small Ohio town where Lucy Piper began her life in 1890, such outlandish ideas were the stuff of fantasy. Yet she would live to see them all, and more. She would lobby for women's Suffrage and proudly cast her first vote in 1920. She would become a teacher, an artist, an avid reader, a traveler to foreign lands. She would pass along a love of learning and a deep respect for the diversity that makes the world a complex and challenging place.
I like to think that Lucy, a student of history, would rejoice with us as we prepare for a family milestone. This fall, we will welcome our second grandchild, the first Piper girl in 116 years. A friend asked me if we were going to avoid any ambiguity and simply call her "Princess." That seems a bit excessive, but not much. I spent a lot of years shopping for overalls. Now I'm scouring the Internet for hand-smocked pink dresses.
To me, a baby is a boy. I raised three of them and am the adoring grandmother of yet another. I have advanced degrees in Little League, Pee Wee Hockey, Cub Scouts, and the Emergency Room. I can break up a backyard fistfight and talk someone down from the highest branch of the tree. If I had a dime for every pair of khaki pants and every navy blue blazer I ever bought, I'd be a rich woman.
None of this came to me naturally. I was a girly girl from the start, a lover of dolls and hair ribbons and Louisa May Alcott books. I struck out at softball and was always chosen last for Red Rover. It wasn't an impressive resume for the mother of sons, but I learned to improvise. I put my Madame Alexander collection in storage and enrolled in my husband's crash course on pop flies, triple plays, and forkballs.
For 20-something years, I was the sole woman in a household of men. It's a role that has certain advantages, and I would not trade a second of it for any treasure on earth. My sons taught me honesty and courage and how to yell like a fishwife and swear like a sailor. When I wasn't busy screaming, each one of them made me laugh every day.
Come September, I take on a new role: grandmother of a girl, purveyor of embroidered bonnets and china dolls, co-hostess of tea parties, tireless reader of "Little Women." If our new arrival leans more toward T-ball and tree climbing, I figure I've got that covered, too. My skills are rusty, but I look forward to the remedial work.
Late in her life, the long-ago Lucy turned her artistic talent to the creation of handmade books. She bound fine vellum in marbled covers trimmed with leather and designed exquisite endpapers to open and close each slim volume. One of these books came down to us, and I take it from the shelf now and examine the expert craftsmanship. It was meant to be a journal, and it seems to have been waiting all these years for someone to fill its pristine pages. I think of the new baby, and the stories she will have to tell of her life in the 21st century. Across four generations, Lucy has sent a gift: made by hand and passed along, from one Piper girl to the next.

The Patuxent River off Point Patience is a deep body of water. Deeper still are two tunnels being drilled underneath the river to provide a more powerful loop to keep electricity running in Calvert and St. Mary's counties.
An existing line carrying 69 kilovolts lying at the bottom of the Patuxent failed in January 2005 "on the coldest day of the year. Once we lost that cable it was very difficult to get the lights on in Calvert County," said Tom Dennison, public affairs manager for the Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative.
The need for a more reliable, looped electrical system was evident and SMECO embarked on a $110 million reliability project for its 154,000 customers in Southern Maryland.
"There's never been a project of this size and this complex in our history," Dennison said. The cooperative was established in 1937.
New poles are being installed through Calvert to carry a new 230-kilovolt system over to St. Mary's. It was not practical to carry the lines over the Patuxent River, so SMECO is digging underneath it to extend the lines.
Between the Navy Recreation Center in Solomons and North Patuxent Beach Road, the Patuxent River is 105 to 110 feet deep, said Ted Aggeler, project manager for Black & Veatch, which is drilling the tunnels 50 feet below the river's bottom.
One tunnel has been dug and its five conduits have been installed. That work started on Sept. 6 from the St. Mary's County side. On the first day, the drill made 1,200 feet of the 4,500-foot crossing. It took six days for the drilling to come up on the Solomons side, Aggeler said.
The first tunnel was 12 inches across. It was then reamed first to 26 inches and then to 38 inches. All the while, the drill bit is assisted by water jetting. A mixture of water and bentonite clay is pumped down the hollow drill pipe and rushes out ahead of the drill bit, doing most of the work to clear the way, he said.
The mixture is denser than the salt water above and keeps the tunnel intact.
The mixture also travels back up to the surface carrying clay, sand, silt and sometimes pieces of wood. The mixture is recycled back down into the tunnel after the spoils are sorted. The spoil material is hauled off to a landfill.
The first tunnel was completed in mid-October. Last week, crews were finishing the 26-inch reaming on the second tunnel, 50 feet away from the other one.
Meanwhile thousands of feet of conduits were being fused at the Navy Recreation Center, taking up almost the length of the facility as each 40-foot section was added. The blue PVC pipes will hold the actual electric lines under the river.
There will be five conduits each in the two tunnels. Three carry the electric lines, one is fiber optics and the other is a spare, Dennison said.
The conduits are filled with ballast water to keep them in place, Aggeler said, so they don't rise under the river bed, like a beach ball under water.
The second set of conduits is scheduled to be pulled under the river in the first week of December. All together there are 25 to 30 subcontractors working 11-hour days on the project.
The actual electric cables will be installed by another contractor next fall, Dennison said.
In Calvert County from Holland Cliff to Sollers Wharf, 186 new and taller power poles were erected with another 66 poles to be installed from Sollers Wharf to Buck Hewitt Road in St. Mary's. The first 18 miles of line in Calvert are complete and energized, Dennison said. The new poles range in height from 110 to 160 feet.
The entire project should be completed by the end of 2014.
