Moreover, the use of condoms isn't infallible inside the prevention of the infection. Studies have shown that they can only diminish the risk of contracting the virus.

Ladies and gentlemen, we did it. We got through the summer break. It was tough, sure, but it's over now. You can put down those barbeque tongs, stick the sun lounger back in the shed and forget all about that fence you probably weren't going to paint anyway. Because this weekend, in stadiums across the country and around Europe, the football – the proper football – returns. And this season, like almost every season before it, threatens to be one of unmissable drama.
With Premier League legends Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Robin van Persie all parting ways with the English topflight, there's never been a better time for new icons to emerge and big summer moves aplenty at the Etihad, Old Trafford and Anfield mean there are no shortage of fresh faces among the familiar stars.
At Stamford Bridge, Jose Mourinho's Chelsea – with leading lights in Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas – bid to become the first team since 2009 to defend their Premier League crown. But they face a strong challenge from a reinvigorated Arsenal, perennial contenders Man City and a much-strengthened Man United, who have added over £83million of talent over the summer.
Meanwhile, a Gerrard-less Liverpool have flashed their cash and captured Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino and Nathaniel Clyne, among others, while Tottenham will be hoping for more of the same from frontman Harry Kane, who emerged as one of English football's most exciting young strikers following a frenzy of goals last term.
Newly promoted Watford return to the topflight after an eight year exile while Norwich City look promising after their swift return and there's more than a sense of intrigue about Eddie Howe's Bournemouth, who were excellent as they romped to the Championship title.
On the continent, there's more glory expected for Barcelona, led by the irresistible and seemingly unstoppable 'MSN' trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar. As ever, Luis Enrique's side will need to see off Clasico rivals Real Madrid but with Cristiano Ronaldo, James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale at his disposal, new boss Rafa Benitez must feel confident of a strong challenge.
The German title race, as in France and Italy, is decidedly less open. With the additions of Arturo Vidal and Douglas Costa, Bayern will be incredibly hard to catch, though Kevin de Bruyne's Wolfsburg and Dortmund – with hipsters' choice Thomas Tuchel taking over from former hipsters' choice Jurgen Klopp – will try their level best to keep up.
Paris Saint-Germain look certain to retain their Ligue 1 crown, as Angel Di Maria joins Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani and David Luiz – a deep run into the latter stages of the Champions League is the aim.
Juventus will start clear favourites in Italy but the Old Lady has lost some of her favourite sons over the summer with Andrea Pirlo, Carlos Tevez and Vidal heading away to varying corners of Planet Football. Rudi Garcia's Roma have been improving season-on-season and could challenge Juve's dominance should their squad stay healthy throughout the season.
Beside the Premier League, we should look then to the Champions League for competitiveness, where any number of around five or six teams could feasibly triumph. Though MSN make Barcelona the hot favourites, a lack of domestic challenge could help the likes of Bayern, Juventus and PSG, who'll each be looking to improve on the continent. Whoever wins, we're doubtless in for a treat as the best in the world vie for the ultimate prize.

Season Previews
Imagine a life without Ryan Giggs. It is impossible. He was just always there, like Coronation Street and the BBC.
Yesterday he announced his retirement from professional football. After 23 years playing for Manchester United and 34 trophies he decided he had enough. But it is not only the number of trophies and the longevity that makes this man special. It is his skill of reinvention.
The old & new GiggsJust after his debut, the 17-year-old was dubbed as 'the new George Best'. Giggs was a beguiling mix of ruthlessness and grace. The way he ran, the way he passed, the way he moved was balletic but it was also wholly damaging to opponents. But those inelastic hamstrings panged once too often. No more could he play with the same wild abandon. Top speed wasn't an option as pragmatism crept in where once was unadulterated joy.
He needed to change his way of play and evolved in the elder statesman we know today. The new Giggs got wise; he went from not being able to cross properly to playing slide-rule passes at will. Travelling with the ball became less belting down the flank and more subtle feigns and shifts of balance. It helped him win everything more times than anyone ever.
Great guy to work withAs a person Giggs never changed. We have a long standing work relationship with him, and he is still the nice guy we met for the first time more than 15 years ago. He embarks upon a new and exciting chapter in his life, as assistant manager of Manchester United. And we, we will always remember his contribution to the game with a fantastic range of authentic autographed Giggs memorabilia.

It was just meant to be. Who better to secure the goal that would confirm Manchester United as champions of England once more than Robin van Persie, scorer of so many vital goals in the 2012-13 campaign? And what better way to score it? Thirteen minutes had passed in a April 23 game where victory would land the Reds their 20th Premier League title when the Dutchman, already with one goal to his name, darted across a helpless Aston Villa back line to meet a stunning 50-yard Wayne Rooney pass, thumping it first time from the edge of the area past Brad Guzan.
By the time he completed an astonishing first half hat trick in the 33rd minute, the Old Trafford faithful were still in a state of shock. In terms of technique, precision and power, it was up there with anything witnessed at the ground in recent years - which with Manchester United, a team whose attacking football breeds all kinds of breathtaking moments, is really saying something. Not since Rooney's famous bicycle kick against Manchester City in 2011 had a United player scored a goal as both meaningful and spectacular. Sir Alex Ferguson called it "the goal of the century".
"It was a great pass from Wayne for a start. He had to spot my run because I went in front of Ron Vlaar," the 29-year-old told MUTV after the final whistle. "It was straight into my path. I was counting my steps. The only thing I had to do was time it right and keep my body straight, level with the ball. You need to be a bit lucky with those goals because most of them go over or wide. That didn't, which was a big relief."
The goal ended any realistic chance of Aston Villa stopping United in their tracks on their march to a title, and Manchester City fans - hoping Ferguson's side would slip up, as they did a year previous with several points in hand over their rivals - let out a final sigh of defeat. Robin van Persie, United's number 20, had delivered United title number 20.

A Robin van Persie first half hat-trick gave Manchester United victory last night against Aston Villa - not to mention the small matter of the Reds' 20th ever league title. As English football applauds a historic achievement, here's their 13 Premier League trophy wins in photos. Altogether now United fans: "glory, glory Man United..."

Penn West Trucks Alberta Oil After Rainbow Pipeline Shuts
May 3 (Bloomberg) -- Penn West Petroleum Ltd. is trucking crude oil, placing it in storage and using alternative pipelines after a segment of Plains Midstream Canada LP's Rainbow pipeline was shut in Alberta following a leak that was four times bigger than originally estimated.
"It affects us for sure, but we've got options to move crude via other lines, you can truck and we've got storage capabilities," Jason Fleury, a spokesman for Penn West, said in a telephone interview yesterday. No production has been shut in, he said.
Fleury declined to say how much crude was being trucked. The Calgary-based company produces about 100,000 barrels a day in northern Alberta, he said.
Plains All American Pipeline LP shut the 220,000-barrel-a-day Rainbow pipeline, which runs from Zama in northern Alberta to Edmonton, on April 29 after a leak was detected, according to the company's website. Repair work will begin once a second stopple unit, a piece of equipment used in the repairs, is added.
About 4,500 cubic meters (28,000 barrels) of crude oil leaked 100 kilometers (62 miles) northeast of Peace River, Alberta, the Energy Resources Conservation Board said in a notice on its website. Alberta Environment said the spill was estimated to be about 1,000 cubic meters on April 29.
The first stopple fitting was installed today and a plug was set that isolated the rupture from the north, Plains said on its website. A second stopple fitting was welded and a plug was expected to be set today.
Plains expects to have the physical line repaired by the end of the week. The restart of the line is "contingent on regulatory approval," according to the company.
The replacement pipe was hydrotested and the failed pipeline section is being analyzed to discern the reason for the failure, the company said.
A portion of the pipeline between Nipisi and Edmonton remains in service, Roy Lamoreaux, a Plains spokesman, said in an e-mail yesterday. The segment typically has volumes of about 50 percent of Rainbow's daily volume, which averaged 187,000 barrels a day in 2010, according to Lamoreaux.
The leak has been contained within an area about 0.5 mile (0.8 kilometer) by 150 feet (46 meters).
EnerMAX Services Inc., a trucking company in Alberta, is moving crude along different routes because of the pipeline disruption, Sean McKelvey, a business development manager at the company, said in a telephone interview.
Crude that is typically moved south from the Rainbow Lake area to Valleyview, Alberta, is now being moved from the Rainbow Lake area east to Gordondale, Alberta, and the Boundary Lake region along the Alberta-British Columbia border, he said.
The Rainbow pipeline ships condensate along with sweet, or low-sulfur oil, and heavy crude, according to Plains's website.

Fall of Giants
Dutton, 2010 - Fiction - 985 pages
View our Ken Follett feature page.
Ken Follett's World Without End was a global phenomenon, a work of grand historical sweep, beloved by millions of readers and acclaimed by critics. Fall of Giants is his magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families—American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh—as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.
Thirteen-year-old Billy Williams enters a man's world in the Welsh mining pits...Gus Dewar, an American law student rejected in love, finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson's White House...two orphaned Russian brothers, Grigori and Lev Peshkov, embark on radically different paths half a world apart when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution...Billy's sister, Ethel, a housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts, takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German embassy in London...
These characters and many others find their lives inextricably entangled as, in a saga of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, Fall of Giants moves seamlessly from Washington to St. Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty. As always with Ken Follett, the historical background is brilliantly researched and rendered, the action fast-moving, the characters rich in nuance and emotion. It is destined to be a new classic.
In future volumes of The Century Trilogy, subsequent generations of the same families will travel through the great events of the rest of the twentieth century, changing themselves-and the century itself. With passion and the hand of a master, Follett brings us into a world we thought we knew, but now will never seem the same again.

Re: Return to the Dollhouse
I'm back with reviews of Vows and Belle Chose.
It's not often that you find a situation in a Joss Whedon show where a season finale is so well-written and executed that it puts the writer and/or director of the next season's premiere episode at a disadvantage, and its also not often that said writer or director ends up being Joss himself, but that's what happened with Omega and Vows.
Don't get me wrong: Vows is a great episode and premiere; it just doesn't and can't match Omega.
As I was watching the episode, I couldn't help thinking that it represented exactly what you would've gotten if Joss had written True Lies - especially the parts of the movie featuring Eliza - and was also reminded of the 2008 film version of Get Smart.
It's also representative of everything that typifies Joss' storytelling style from the structure to the dialogue, and gives most of the cast a lot of excellent material to work with, although Amy Acker's arc stands out the most, as Joss once again gives her material that lets her grab ahold of the audience's emotions, material that she then again knocks out of the park.
The only downside to the episode - and the thing that ultimately drags it down a bit - is that there are parts of the climax that are downright confusing.
I'm giving the episode a 9.5 rating in spite of the more-than-slightly confusing ending because of the strength of the character moments and because it was genuinely a great ep even if it couldn't match the quality of Omega.
Belle Chose
This episode felt a lot like two of Tim Minear's ANGEL episodes - Sonnambulist and Are You Now or Have You Ever Been - mixed with a typical episode of CSI or Law and Order: SVU, and, while not nearly as good as Omega, was still a great example of Minear at his best.
I have to say that I really wanted to see Paul's reaction to Echo's tryst with the college professor, especially after his ill-disguised discomfort in the scene where he's being briefed on its particulars, and was slightly disappointed when he was pulled off the job at the last second by Boyd, although I understand why it needed to happen in light of what Gopher discovered about the comatose Terry Karrens and did lead to one of the funnier exchanges I've seen in a Joss Whedon series when Paul makes fun of Karrens' full name.
When I read the description of the episode, I was expecting something entirely different when it came to Victor and Echo's Imprints meeting, and was consequently caught completely off-guard by the twist of Terry ending up in Echo's body and the Kiki persona ending up in Victor, and have to give props to Minear for surprising me.
Belle Chose was a great followup to Vows - and should've been presented as such both initially and on the DVD release - and earns a 9.5 rating from me.

Form creates specific thermal effects. The project takes interest in how the three dimensional characteristics of a building puts an impact on the thermal conditions inside.
The crucial driver for the architectural form of the proposal is the site. The architectural form of a "virtual bridge" started from a number of urbanistic and environmental factors in parallel: the building's internal activities' visibility from the subway track and the surrounding, passive cooling and natural ventilation. The linear, thin bar shape running from east to west optimizes cross ventilation during spring and fall, continuous overhang on the south side provides shading and the concrete roof serves as thermal mass during winter.
As the horizontal slabs are the architectural datum, the layout of partitions can be irregular and playful. The partitions frames the relationship between the inside and outside, the building and the surrounding. From top to ground these vertical elements becomes chaotic, breaking its threshold and expand outward to from large, non-directional public spaces.
"The studio will ask students to address these three programs (salt facility, sewage retention, and environmental education center) at the scale of a master plan for the site and its surrounding context, with the goal of finding possibilities for coexistence between the infrastructural, industrial, and cultural programs of the sewage tanks, salt facility, and education center. At the scale of the building, students will focus for the semester on the design of the education center, which will incorporate a program of event spaces, classrooms, galleries, and offices for the Gowanus Canal Conservancy."

No Time to Waste re-imagines a new system of housing as living inside a black-hole that swallows all kinds of household waste, so that waste can be disposed everywhere in the living spaces. The architecture, comprised of layers of sloped plenums that handle solid waste, waste water, and liquefied food scraps, perform like a sponge that maximizes disposal interface while minimizes the distance between living and waste disposal spots. The project proposes living within a decentralized disposal zone, and through gravity waste is then transported to a centralized waste sorting facility. The project renders the two sides of habitation: a suburban, mountain village on the riverside and an urban canopy on the city side hovering over the street: the duality of the two urban façades of living within waste.

Intention: A Surface Serves Both Sides
City Beach tries to create a mild place for Sunday afternoon water recreation. Started with site selection, the project locates at a place where no shadow being cast in the afternoon. Although liquid is always flat, but the ground that holds the liquid can be dynamic to fit different kinds of activities. When goes deep, it holds water, and goes up it become dry area like beach. Same happens to the underground area. By doing that, it is to stretch the pool to footprint size without changing the water volume.
The ground floor contains all programs except the pool area. Facing the Columbus Avenue, the 4:1 rectangle ration resembles the Frederick Douglass housing apartment and New York city block.

Intention & Design
I started from concerning the security problem, but end not as the only goal of the project.
The reason to set up the public toilet is to just provide the place in case you come up with something. However the reason prevent from setting up, the major one, is just the security problem. For example, illegal use like drug use, and other uses other than bathroom like homeless man occupation.
First I want to solve it in a technology way by building a machine that build up the space when used. However, you basically can't prevent people from doing anything inside, it's a privacy concern and also, you really can't see through it.
So I switched my direction, instead of building something only for bathroom use, which I failed, I'm thinking about having this place attracted to public, introducing more public activity so as to keep the space with people, serve as a witness and reduce some negative use.
So I'm basically doing what a park already does, by introducing recreational space and sport exercise space, to change the public toilet into the accessory of its area, not just a toilet. I'm doing this form just by stretching the grass into the area, and build several exercise gym fixtures in between. These are the two witness of the toilet. And this is not enough. I'm thinking about to put all the toilet facility into some solid opaque sculpture like unit. And warp them with this form built with frosted materials. If you sit inside, you will notice the environment is inverted, like a iOS 7 control center blurring everything. This is another way of reducing the privacy.
And finally, the central tube is solid, both provide the ventilation, and also I'm thinking about a structure to maintain the two glass and membrane surface.
That's all. The toilet will be, will appear to be a part of many things in one area.

Capsule 1972 was the original project designed by Kisho Kurokawa. It was a time when computer was far from well known by public, let alone the Internet. TVs, radios and magazines were the major news publication media.
The drawing is an attempt to achieve the 70s magazine style.
Every age has a capsule that people feel free to imagine the future. Imagination is always based on current reality, that's why the visual is always outdated. Due to the import of creative form software, and emerging building techniques, the new future currently in mind is basically a series of curved surfaces.
Motion Pictures
Theoretically, it is impossible to vision what the people in the future imagine their future. However, it is true that the scale and functions of architecture will always stay the same with the biological and social character of human.

Intention: From Melt to Fusion
The project seek to create new core instead of modifying the exist core of the district, for the simple reason that the exist core is dying. By creating the new complex, the project manage to transfer the core to the tower itself.
The melt down of the blocks marks the beginning of the fusion of the core. Previously, The street is dominated by car flows, pushed the square to get smaller. The center of the square is nothing but a small land mark.
The site is surrounded by two old walking streets. The mall lies under the blocks inside an actual building.

Individual Project
Intention : Exposed Details
In 2011, I went to Beijing and paid a visit to the "Galaxy Soho". The project was under construction at that time. One thing that surprised me was that in the construction site, I found the steel structure sticking out the white fluid surface. It was the first time I discovered that architecture was always showing the best side. When current technology cannot match the futuristic aesthetics, it is used as the backstage to support the mask. When there is a technology breakthrough, the aesthetics is the technology itself. I believe the minimalism will become the styles of structure and form due to the technology. But it will take a long time, and will coexist with other styles. Although obsessed with the aesthetics of steel structures and complex modules, I insist the future lies in a more simply way, at least on the surface. The project seeks to combine two distinguished materials and constructions together in one site, presenting a picture of maybe the last try of structure exposure.

The past 150 years of Dalian is a history of ruins, even in peace time, let alone several wars. This project brings out an attitude towards the ruins: we can built on it, but we can never wipe it out.
The project is not a renewal project, it's a restoration of the elements right from the ruins. The real estate dealer already did some for us: the site is a mess, but we will make it more.
Since 1839, Dalian served as a perfect port for colonies as well. After 1949, the government torn down most of city's old buildings.
Upper Structure
The surface is used as both a urban park and a part of the museum exhibition. Cut in three levels of scale by 8.4m, 4.2m, 2.1m, the surface can serve various kinds of activities to the citizens. The site is divided by a chess board like grid with 13 section each directions of 169 squares.
A 8.4 unit with four column, is the minimum unit of the structure. Note that the unit is self-independent to neighbors.
The palace is the main part of the museum. The under space of each remain building serves as the exhibition area, connected each other by a huge underground, forming a continues walking experience.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
Saudi, Iran and the 'war' over the Hajj stampede
Andrew Kennis | 10 Oct 2010 10:08 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan
A string of shootings by British troops in a non-combat zone resulting in scores of dead civilians; a highway rampage by US troops; a deaf boy shot at when orders barked at him did not illicit a response; a previously unknown US special forces unit reporting directly to the White House, as well as a 'capture kill' list with which they operated, and their botched up missions that resulted in scores of casualties, including the deaths of children at an Islamic school.
The largest leak of classified military documents in US history revealed these incidents and many more. Nevertheless, the Afghan war logs published by Wikileaks on July 25 prompted no official apology or investigation into their contents.
Instead, they were swiftly downplayed by the White House and Pentagon, with Barack Obama, the US president, telling a press conference that "these documents do not reveal any issues that have not already informed our public debate on Afghanistan".
With several other leaks - including one with some 15,000 more documents on Afghanistan reported to include even more extensive and damming revelations – due to soon be released, the human rights community is hoping that a cue will be taken from their reactions to the first release and that increased accountability will follow.
Evidence of war crimes?
Speaking from Baghdad in the wake of the first documents' release, Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said: "Much has changed since 2009, particularly with respect to our focus, our new strategy in Afghanistan …." However, an August 2010 report by the United Nations mission in Afghanistan bemoaned the increase in civilian deaths related to the occupation and conflict compared to the same period in 2009 - including hundreds caused by occupying forces.
Furthermore, representatives of the human rights community and foreign policy analysts paint a very different picture of the logs than that presented by the Obama administration, arguing that they reveal evidence of previously unreported or under-reported war crimes, including apparent revenge rampages, secret task forces running amok and attempts to cover-up or gloss over atrocities with little to no investigation.
Noam Chomsky told Al Jazeera that the logs "revealed [the] realities of the war that the media had not reported and by the same token, illustrated their failing", while Bob Naiman, an analyst and investigator from the organisation Just Foreign Policy, said they showed "that incidents were covered up, under-reported or denied in spite of press and/or human rights reports to the contrary".
Sam Zarifi, Amnesty International's Asia-Pacific director, said the documents clearly illustrate that "there was an incoherent system of tracking accountability by Nato," which has a "long way to go" before the problem is corrected.
As a result of the leak, human rights analysts were also able to compare many of their previous findings and research with what the military was doing at the time, shedding light on exactly how the military under-reported deaths, covered them up or did not report them at all. Rachel Reid, an investigator for Human Rights Watch, explained that the "files bring to light what's been a consistent trend by US and Nato forces: The concealment of civilian casualties".
They contend that if the policies related to the abuses detailed in the logs were taken more seriously, it could mean the difference between life and death for an untold number of Afghan civilians.
Civilian shootings
Details surrounding at least six possible war crimes emerged from the released Afghan war logs, including a string of shootings by British troops.
The shootings occurred in Kabul between October and November 2007 and, according to Zarifi, had not been known about before the logs were released. He argues that these incidents could be considered war crimes because they occurred in a location which was not at the time of the shootings considered a military zone of conflict.
The first three incidents recorded by the log note a string of shooting injuries: Two to three bullet wounds to a "non-combatant" on October 4, 2007, three interpreters shot upon and wounded in their vehicle on October 21, and four days later, a wounded passerby at a checkpoint.
On November 6 a civilian killing was added to the Kabul shootings, with additional concerns noted about possible demonstrations because the victim was the son of an Afghan general. But the logs did not reveal which soldiers had undertaken these shootings, although some news outlets have speculated that a detachment of Coldstream Guards – an elite unit first founded in Scotland and which, according to the official UK military operations blog, had been in Afghanistan since 2007 – was responsible.
There have been no further and public actions taken to assess culpability.
A revenge rampage?
A suicide attack and IED explosion targeted a 120-man convoy of US marines on March 4, 2007 in Shinwar, injuring one soldier. Immediately following the attack, the marines then tore down a six-mile stretch of highway, opening automatic and indiscriminate fire on civilians, including teenage girls and elderly men.
Journalists who attempted to take photographs and video footage of the scene were reportedly harassed and threatened, while the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission reported that the marines "cleaned up" the scene and disposed of physical evidence, including bullet casings and cartridges.
The human rights community reacted strongly to the incident and Zarifi said the shootings contained "prima-facie evidence of violations of international humanitarian law".
An internal investigation conducted by the same military unit involved in the incident exonerated the convoy of any wrongdoing. However, the 2,000 page internal report was never disclosed and the unit was dismissed by a high-ranking US general - something that rarely happens. Task Force 373
Little was known about an elite 'black' unit called Task Force 373 and the man-hunting it undertook before the war logs were released. Since then, however, alarming details have emerged about their previously secret activities.
Some 200 files contained in the war logs reveal that Task Force 373 was a US special forces unit operating with a 'kill or capture' list of supposed Taliban and al-Qaeda commanders, which reportedly numbered well over 2,000 people.
Reid, who has lived and worked in Afghanistan, said that while it is technically "not a violation of war to have a list like this, it probably should be".
Of the incident reports where Task Force 373 is noted, more than half of them describe 'capture/kill' efforts, particularly in the Nangahar provinces near the border with northern Pakistan. But successful captures were not the only outcome of these operations - children and Afghan police officers were also killed. These deaths reportedly resulted in angry villagers protesting and even attacking US-led military forces.
One war log report, which was prefaced by a special note stating "the knowledge that TF-373 conducted a HIMARS strike must be kept protected," told of a rocket attack on June 17, 2007 in the Khelof province. It was ostensibly intended to kill an alleged member of al-Qaeda, but instead resulted in the immediate deaths of six children in a madrassa (Islamic school). A seventh child died later from wounds suffered in the attack.
In a reported coordination between Akram Khapalwak, the governor of Paktika, and the US military to develop "talking points," the log noted that the governor "stressed this could've been prevented had the people exposed the presence of insurgents in the area". Further, analysis of the logs, however, does not uncover any evidence that there were members of al-Qaeda or the Taliban in the school where the children died, which undermines military claims that the Taliban were purportedly using the children as shields.
Another bombing carried out by the Task Force targeted a house in the village of Laswanday, just six miles away from the site of the madrassa bombing. Once again, civilians - four men, one woman and a girl - were killed, while not one "enemy insurgent" was killed or captured.
Changes in policy?
Pentagon and White House officials claimed on July 26 that the war logs did not detail any civilian killings since last December and therefore did not reflect the major shift in NATO and US military policy that had taken place at the same time.
The purported aim of that shift was to reduce civilian atrocities.
But these claims were dramatically undermined on the same day when at least 39 civilians were killed in the Sangin District.
Afghan civilians reported that in the midst of intense fighting between occupying forces and the Taliban, civilians retreated to Rigi, a remote village with just a handful of homes. But shortly after, the village was rocked by airstrikes that reportedly caused dozens of civilian casualties.
Reid criticised Nato for being reactionary rather than adopting a more proactive approach with transparent investigations into civilian deaths.
Future prospects?
Reid has criticised Nato for being reactionary rather than adopting a more proactive approach with transparent investigations into civilian deaths. But there are signs that such criticisms have been heeded in recent weeks as US army prosecutors revealed that four US soldiers are being prosecuted for alleged war crimes committed between January and May of this year.
The soldiers have been accused of randomly killing Afghan civilians in a premeditated fashion, mutilating their bodies and collecting their fingers for sport. The case is widely regarded as the worst officially acknowledged war crime by members of the US military.
What the future will portend in occupied Afghanistan, in terms of increased accountability and prevention of war crimes and civilian killings will arguably depend to a large extent on the manner in which key White House and Pentagon policy makers respond to the next round of leaks. Indeed, not only are additional documents related to Afghanistan due to be released by Wikileaks, but another leak on Iraq is currently being redacted in London and scheduled to be publicly revealed on October 18.
Members of the human rights community are hoping that these leaks will be greeted with greater levels of accountability and respect for the lives and safety of Afghan civilians.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/350,430 for Apparatus and Methods for Providing a Flight Display in an Aircraft, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. Application No. 60/350,430 was filed on Jan. 24, 2002, by Bassam H. Chamas, Joseph S. Nalbach and Ryuichi Yokota.
The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for providing a flight display in an aircraft. In particular, the present invention relates to apparatus and methods for providing flight instruments on a flight display in an aircraft.
Currently, the flight instruments in many aircraft are based on mechanical devices. In most aircraft, these mechanical devices include various types of instruments, including vacuum-driven instruments, pitot-static-driven instruments, and electrical-driven instruments. Although providing safety through redundancy, most of the primary flight instruments are based on vacuum-driven instruments and pitot-static-driven instruments, even though current electrical-driven instruments are more reliable.
The standard flight instruments include both primary flight instruments and secondary flight instruments. These flight instruments are located on an instrument panel in the aircraft. The primary flight instruments are generally located in a standard configuration, but the secondary flight instruments may be located in numerous positions on the instrument panel. Every aircraft may have a different instrument configuration. The lack of uniformity in the arrangement of these flight instruments can be confusing to a pilot, particularly if the pilot flies more than one type of aircraft.
The primary flight instruments in current aircraft are generally distributed among more than one visual representation. In most aircraft, especially general aviation aircraft, the primary flight instruments include six flight instruments: an attitude indicator (also know as an artificial horizon), a heading indicator (or a horizontal situation indicator), an altimeter, an airspeed indicator, a turn indicator (or a turn-and-slip indicator, if an inclinometer is included), and a vertical speed indicator. Thus, when a pilot is flying a complicated approach or procedure, the pilot must visually acquire information from at least these six instruments. Some current systems combine some of these instruments, but such systems have limited functionality, scope, and utility.
There is a need for apparatus and methods for providing flight instruments in an electronic format. There is also a need for apparatus and methods for providing flight instruments in a standard configuration, including both primary flight instruments and secondary flight instruments. There is still also a need for apparatus and methods for providing some or all of the primary flight instruments in one visual representation. There is further a need for apparatus and methods that combine providing flight instruments in a standard configuration with flight instruments in an electronic format with some or all of the primary flight instruments in one visual representation.
This invention addresses these needs in various embodiments of a flight display.

In the drawings:
A. Introduction
The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for providing flight instruments on a flight display in an aircraft. In the following paragraphs, several examples of apparatus and methods for providing flight instruments on a flight display in an aircraft are provided. However, these examples are exemplary, and other apparatus and methods may be used for providing flight instruments on a flight display.
As shown in
VOR receiver 1 620 and VOR receiver 2 640 contain course deviation indicators that give a pilot an indication of the position of the aircraft with reference to a navigational transmitter located on the ground. VOR receiver 1 620 and VOR receiver 2 640 may also contain a glide slope indicator (as shown on VOR receiver 1 620) that allows a pilot to fly an instrument approach on an instrument landing system (ILS). ADF receiver 660 is another navigational receiver for receiving signals from a navigational transmitter located on the ground. Other navigational receivers may also be used in other aircraft instruments 2 600 or anywhere else on the instrument panel.
Engine gauge cluster 720 includes gauges that monitor the engine performance. These gauges may include an oil temperature gauge 721, an oil pressure gauge 722, a carburetor temperature gauge 723, a fuel quantity gauge 724, a cylinder temperature gauge 725, and a volts gauge 726. Tachometer 740 indicates the rotations per minute (RPM) of the engine, which assists the pilot in adjusting the RPM of the engine. Manifold pressure gauge 760 indicates the manifold pressure (MP) of the engine, which assists the pilot in adjusting the MP of the engine. Other instruments may also be included in other aircraft instruments 3 700.
As shown in
As shown in
In this implementation, disk 910, input device 915, MFD 920, optional external device 925, and optional interface 930 are connected to processor 905 via I/O unit 955. In this implementation, disk 910 contains the information that may be processed by processor 905 and displayed on MFD 920. Input device 915 includes the mechanism by which a user may access computer 900. Optional external device 925 allows computer 900 to interact with other devices (not shown). Optional interface 930 allows computer 900 to receive information other than by input device 915. For example, optional interface 930 may be used to receive information which is stored on disk 910. As described above, computer 900 displays information on MFD 920. Other components or devices may also be attached to processor 905 via I/O unit 955. Other computers may also be used (e.g., for redundancy). These configurations are merely exemplary, and other implementations may also be used.
As shown in
Indicator sections 1415 and 1430 show what has been selected by the pilot and co-pilot. In this case, as shown in
BARO selection 1540 is for the selection of a barometric setting. As referenced above, the altimeter may be adjusted according to the current barometric pressure. In this implementation, a pilot and co-pilot uses BARO selection 1540 to input a barometric pressure setting to the MFD, as described in more detail below in
HBUG selection 1560 is a selection that allows the pilot and co-pilot to reference a heading bug (HBUG). The heading bug is an indicator on the heading indicator (or HSI), which allows the pilot and co-pilot to provide a heading to the MFD. Other selections may also be available on the selection section (not shown). These examples are merely exemplary, and other implementations may also be used.
Vertical speed indicator 1760 shows the rate at which the aircraft is climbing or descending. For example, as shown in
Within airspeed ribbon 1810, additional indicators may also be provided. For example, as shown in
Yellow arc 1850 is a range of airspeeds in which caution should be given during periods of turbulence. The lowest point on the range of yellow arc 1850 is known as the maneuvering speed. For example, if an aircraft encounters turbulence, the aircraft should slow to a speed at or below a speed in yellow arc 1850, that is, a speed at maneuvering speed or below. Red arc 1860 indicates a speed at which damage may be caused to the aircraft.
Airspeed indicator 1820 is depicted below airspeed ribbon 1810. Airspeed indicator 1820 points to the current speed of the aircraft. Airspeed indicator 1820 also has a line 1870 that extends from the bottom of airspeed ribbon 1810 to the top of the airspeed ribbon 1810. In addition airspeed indicator 1820 may also have the current airspeed indicated numerically within airspeed indicator 1820. All of the components of airspeed section 1800 are exemplary, and other implementations may also be used.
As also shown in
As shown in
As described above, therefore, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations may be made in the apparatus and methods of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention, provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents. In this context, equivalents mean each and every implementation for carrying out the functions recited in the claims, even if not explicitly described herein.

Your account will be renamed[edit]
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Vishwin60. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Vishwin60~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
