With design becoming the utmost necessity for every industry, a lot of different design sources and platforms have started being formed. Amid all, platforms that allow hiring a designer one on one and those with the opportunities of crowd-sourcing are pretty common. As you look at them at first, both of these services look similar and seem to fulfill similar kinds of needs. However, there’s a lot of difference prevailing behind the two names. Unless you put in the right focus, you might end up with a design that’s overpriced and less qualitative.
Hiring A Designer One on One Vs. CROWD-SOURCING ─ What’s What?
As you look at them distantly, both these sources of hiring custom logo designers tend to be similar. However, there is a great difference between the approaches they follow. As far as the platforms offering the opportunity of hiring a designer one on one are concerned, they allow you to directly hire a designer from their pool of professional experts and lets you work with them exclusively. While with crowd-sourcing platforms, you have to put up a design contest where all the different designers available can come up with their proposed designs and you have the right to choose the one you like most among them.
Despite the fact that both kinds of platforms offer similar services, their varying approach creates a huge difference. While the focus of crowd-sourcing platforms is mainly at conducting the contests and providing you with a variety of design ideas based on your description, platforms that offer hiring a designer one on one are determinant at providing a close end experience where you can directly deal with a designer and get your imaginations turned into designs without any gaps in communication.
Design Pricing and Quality─ Hiring A Designer One on One Vs. CROWD-SOURCING
Comparing pricing between the two is a bit critical. Both kinds of platforms seem to charge according to their packages but have to look a little deeper at the features they offer to make an adequate choice.
For instance, the prices at crowd-sourcing platforms are relatively lower in comparison to those at the platforms that allow hiring a designer one to one. But when you look deeper at the features being offered, you’ll see that crowd-sourcing platforms no doubt provides you with an excessive number of designs at low cost, but they aren’t as qualitative as the few designs you get by hiring a one on one designer.
The more you pay at crowd-sourcing platforms, the greater number of submissions you get regardless of what skill level those designers occupied. Whereas, spending bigger at platforms that allow hiring a designer one on one ensures that your designs will be crafted by high-end professional designers. Be it less in quantity, they are better in quality for sure.
What justifies that the designs you get from a one on one designer are better than those crowd-sourced?
Well, there are tons of big fat justifications. However, the one I can tell you here is enough to justify the argument.
With crowd-sourcing, you can only send in a creative brief and wait for the designs to come up. Then you have to choose the one you like and in case none of them are good enough, your time and money both are wasted. While hiring a designer from one on one platforms allows you to better explain your ideas and chose a design that seems to reciprocate well with your requirements. By this, I don’t mean to say that the designers at crowd-sourcing platforms aren’t talented and skilled enough in comparison to those available at platforms from where you can hire a one on one designer. But the probability of getting your designs crafted by a talented professional designer is lesser with a crowd-sourcing platform.
Hiring A Designer One on One Vs CROWD-SOURCING ─ Which Should You Chose?
Now that you’ve learned about all the differences between both design sources, it’s time to make a decision. Seems like the above discussion has made it quite simple. If you are mainly concerned about the prices, crowd-sourcing can be a great option. However, if the quality is your primary agenda and you’re more likely interested in working with high-end professional yet cost-effective graphic designers then to work with the platforms that allow hiring a designer one on one. Whichever option you might choose, it’s always great to look deep at the features being offered and decide whether they are compatible with your requirements or not.

This series is a collection of recipes called “The Church Potluck“
Growing up, my favorite place to eat out was a certain chain steak house named after a desert region in an Oceanian country that’s also its own continent . . . you can guess the one. Anyway, my third favorite item on the menu – beside the steak and the battered, deep–fried onion – was the potato. I had never had a potato with salty crispy skin. I had never had a baked potato so fluffy. I didn’t even know what a chive was. But there they were, springing up like a grassy field on my potato . . .
For years, I wondered how to bake the perfect potato, a potato just like the ones I treasured at that restaurant. But which potato? There are so many! Do I wrap it foil? I soon found that’s a recipe for slimy skin and soggy flesh. Well, as has been the case for so many of my culinary quandaries – Alton Brown came to my rescue. This is his potato. I’m just the messenger (with a few slight changes for personal preference). And I had the great privilege of cooking 110 of these monsters for our church membership celebration back on August 27.
- 1 russet potato*
- oil to coat**
- kosher salt
*Russets have the right kind of starch that yields a light, fluffy potato when cooked. They’re perfect for mashing and baking.
**I use regular olive oil for flavor (do not use extra virgin as it might burn and would be a waste since most of the complex flavors would cook away). If you prefer, a flavor-nuetral oil like canola or vegetable would work just fine.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Thoroughly wash potato with cold, running water. Scrub with hands or a brush.
- Pat potato dry.
- With a fork, poke 3 holes on four sides for 12 holes total.*
- Place potato in a bowl and coat lightly with oil.
- Sprinkle potato liberally with kosher salt.
- Line a sheet pan with foil and place it on the rack immediately below where the potato will be placed (to catch drippings).
- Place potato directly on to the center rack of the oven above the sheet pan. DO NOT FOIL THE POTATO!**
- Cook for 1 hour or until skin crisps and flesh is soft.
- Keep whole until serving. Then slice open with a knife, and cut a grid into the flesh of the potato to allow butter/toppings*** to melt/fall into the flesh of the potato.
*The holes will allow steam to escape as the potato cooks. This is more about the texture of the final product than it is keeping the potato from . . . uh . . . exploding.
**The only way toward crispy skin is to keep airflow around the potato. This is why it’s placed directly on the rack. Foil not only blocks out the hot air, it keeps in moisture which makes the potato soggy.
***My favorite combo is butter, cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and chives.

Italy's PM Monti 'Greatly Shaken' by Pope Resignation
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti was the first politician to express his shock at the pope's unexpected resignation.
"I'm greatly shaken by this unexpected news," Mario Monti said, as cited by La Stampa website.
He told reporters he can't yet comment further.
Benedict, the 265th pope, is the sixth German to serve as pope and the first since the 11th century. He became pope in 2005.
He has led church after the third-longest papacy in church history and during a time in which the church is declining in his native Europe but expanding in Africa and Latin America.
Benedict's time as pope has been marked with a series of scandals and controversies, including hundreds of new allegations of sexual abuse by priests.
The last pope to resign was Gregory XII in 1415. He did so to end a civil war within the church in which more than one man claimed to be pope.

where is the difficulty of believing that a creature of superior beauty and excellence, who in her life-time inspired Dante with so deep a passion, should, at her death, have prompted him to view her, clothed with angelic brightness, and exalted to the mansions of heaven?
From this time Beatrice is transformed into a purely ideal Being, and becomes not only the guardian Angel of Dante, but in his poem assumes a most exalted character as the personification of Heavenly Wisdom. Henceforth she is a theme on which the Poet descants in descriptions of endless variety and beauty.* And worthy of the “Beauty of Holiness” are the divine lays in which Dante has enshrined his sainted Beatrice; thus holding with her an uninterrupted intercourse, and soaring on the wings of poetry and devotion to the highest realms of bliss and glory.
His gratitude to her for descending to his assistance he thus pours forth :
“ O Lady, upon whom my hopes are placed,
And who to work out my security,
Hast left Hell's precincts with thy footsteps traced-
My gratitude and praise are due to thee,
By whom have grace and power accorded been:
By every art and mode that could be tried,
Didst win the freedom that I cherish now.
So that my soul, which thou hast purified,
Paradiso, xxxi. 79.
* See Par. xviii, 16, &c.; xxvji.91; xxx. 19.
The factions of the Guelfs and Ghibellines had long distracted Italy—the former, partisans of the Pope—the latter, of the Emperors, to whom, as heirs of the Cæsars, Italy belonged ; and whose right had been acknowledged, till the Pope, enriched by the gifts of succeeding Emperors, set himself in opposition to them, and assumed a temporal as well as a spiritual dominion.
By birth Dante was a Guelf, and to this party he had hitherto been attached ;-attaining such reputation as a Statesman, that he was employed on several embassies, and looked up to for advice in all emergencies. When he was thirty-five years of age, and acting as one of the Priors or chief magistrates of Florence in the year 1300, the Guelfs quarrelled among themselves, and divided into the factions of the Neri and Bianchi.
The Bianchi being in some measure inclined to the Ghibellines, ancient animosities were revived with increased fury, and the two parties soon came to blows. By the advice of Dante, whose impartiality and disregard for all private feelings were remarkably evinced in this crisis, the leaders of both parties were banished. Another set of Magistrates, however, shortly coming into office, recalled the Bianchi; when the Neri had recourse to Pope Boniface VIII., who was well pleased to embrace any opportunity of restoring the ascendancy of the Guelfs.
At the instigation of Boniface, Charles of Valois, brother to the King of France, undertook an expedition against Florence. Making the most solemn promises to the Republic that he would act as a mediator only, he was admitted into the city. By flattery and deceit he cajoled both parties, till he had acquired power ; and then threw the leaders of the Bianchi into prison, and permitted the Neri, who returned with him, to commit the most atrocious outrages. Houses were pillaged to gratify the avarice of Charles; and sentence of exile and confiscation passed on 600 citizens. Among these was Dante, who having excited the hostility of Pope Boniface by resisting the introduction of foreigners into Florence, and being at this time on an embassy to Rome, fell a victim to the machinations of his enemy. Thus he suddenly found himself a banished man, condemned to be burnt to death, and without even the power of returning to bid a last adieu to his family.
Driven from his country, Dante was now necessarily thrown among the Bianchi who were exiled at the same time with himself, and induced to side with a party composed chiefly of the Ghibellines, to whom he had been for the greater part of his life opposed. And hence arises the monstrous injustice which Dante's Biographers have successively been guilty of, in calling him the fierce Ghibelline, and the vindictive assailant of the Guelfs. As a true patriot, he had exposed himself to the enmity of his former friends. But, if in supporting the Bianchi he supported the Ghibellines, to brand him as a violent and revengeful partizan is the greatest of calumnies. Not only does he observe the strictest impartiality, as in passing through the several circles of Hell he assigns to each individual his deserved station, without respect to party, and according to the character of their crimes, but even treats Pope Boniface, his bitterest foe, in his spiritual capacity, with extreme respect.* If, on the one hand, he condemns his avarice, so far as to call him an Usurper,” and to declare that in the eyes of the Almighty, the Papal chair was actually “ vacant--on the other, he rebukes, in the strongest terms Philip le Bel for the indignities he offered to Boniface, and even avows that in the person of his Vicar, our Saviour had been crucified a second time.* Such a confession, on behalf of one who caused his exile, savours little of that spleen and indulgence of personal feeling which have been attributed to Dante. His indignation against Boniface, as the scandal of Christendom, and the destroyer of the liberties of his country, he pours forth without measure. But this he does, not as the disappointed member of a faction, but as a sincere Christian, and ardent patriot. Guelfs and Ghibellines he condemns alike-the former for opposing the Emperors, whom he supported as heirs of the Cæsars, and for want of any domestic Sovereign,—the latter, for siding with the Emperors, merely to promote their party interests, and without caring for the “ sacred standard," round which he wished to rally the whole nation.t As for the Ghibellines, he scruples not to declare his utter 'contempt for them in that well known passage, where describing the miseries of his exile, he denounces them as the “ foul and senseless company," with whom he was for awhile condemned to associate.
* Purg. xx. 88.
+ Par. xxvii. 23.
“ 'Tis thine to part from all thou lovest best -
From all most cherish'd:-Exile's bow shall send
This self-same arrow first, to pierce thy breast. 'Tis thine to prove what bitter savour bears
The bread of others; and how hard to wend
Upward and downward by another's stairs.
Shall be the foul and senseless company
* Purg. xx. 88.
+ Par, vi. 31-35, and 97—109.
For most ungrateful, loathsome, impious—all
Shall set themselves against thee; but full nigh
Paradiso xvii. 55. And he proceeds to tell us that he gloried in being a party by himself+-i.e. that he was neither a Guelf nor a Ghibelline, but a true Italian, anxious to reconcile the contending factions, and to hoist the national standard, for the purpose of uniting the various States of Italy under one Monarch, and thus defeating the selfish intrigues of the Pope, whose policy it was to acquire power by the dissensions he created.
Quitting his unworthy associates, after a vain attempt to re-enter Florence by force of arms, Dante had recourse to his pen, with the view of showing his countrymen how party strife and Papal misgovernment, had corrupted and degraded Italy.t Hence he conceived the idea of a poem, which, representing this world under an allegory of the next, should enable him to unfold the corruptions of the Church, and the venality of its Pastors. And he has executed his design with wonderful skill and impartiality,-looking forward, as he says, to posterity for his due reward:
“ But if the truth I timidly unfold,
I fear to die in the esteem of those
Paradiso, xvii. 119. To that love of justice which prompted him to punish the heads of both factions to that unbending spirit which would not permit him to become subservient to the traitorous designs of his friends, Dante owed his misfortunes. But
*“Si ch'a te fia bello averti fatta parte per te stesso."- Par. xvii. 68.
+ Purg. vi. 76 to end; xvi. passim.

I am NT and generally a very 'go getting' type, I know my partner procrastinates and I accept it however, sometimes things do need to be done. Call the doctors or go food shopping it doesn't matter what but I don't know how to help him to get motivated.
Please help I am asking for actual ways or words as I don't want to upset him or send him into a meltdown. I find myself getting really frustrated and I am trying meditation to help control that.

He may be already overloaded with what's going on in his life so he's at 100% CPU overload. Any additional requests are logged but never get CPU time as he's processing too many other things. If he has too many requests nagging on his mind, he may be drowning under the pile and feel inadequately strong enough to bite into the tasks.
Another one can be he's hearing what you say but he's measuring and prioritising your request and it rates as 'I'll do it later' after he's processed all the other stuff in his life.
Another one is *when* you ask him - if he's just walked in the door and needs brain de-fragging time, any requests will represent extra stress and so even a little thing could trigger a meltdown.
We are very bad at explaining what's going on in our brain - you need to get him into a low stress situation so you have access to his 'clean' brain so you can both list out all his worries and stress-generators and find a way to solve them together. Nagging him will just force him to shutdown. Throwing a load of emotional blackmail into it will just make him shutdown further.
If your frustrations are so bad that you need medication to not have a go at him possibly suggests that the way you talk to him will make him feel there's no point starting anything because it won't be done to *your* standard.
You seem to expect him to make all the effort to be 100% 'normal' but what do you do to try walking in his shoes? Putting up with his behaviour is not helping him at all - you need to understand why we function the way we do.
I had thart with my ex, she was picking up wrong moments and adding emotional blackmail, so my typical response was shut off.

Indigenous Education and Literacy Learning.
Wagner, Daniel A.
Available evidence suggests that Islamic (or Quranic) schools, as the primary contemporary example of indigenous schooling, have made major changes in various countries where they remain active. These include changes in the nature of instruction, style of teaching, and teacher corps. In general, these changes have been made in response to social and economic demands and may be thought of as supporting the overall process of development while simultaneously supporting the needs of the various Islamic communities where the schools are situated. In terms of children's learning, evidence suggests that, where such schools take the form of preschooling or after-school (parallel) classes, this additional education is of substantial value to children who do not or cannot attend secular government primary schools, and it would be of value to children who may already attend some form of government primary schooling. Teachers and classrooms are often supported by a combination of donations from individual patrons and from the Muslim community. Although exact figures are unavailable, indigenous schools unquestionably cost a small fraction of what a government school would cost for an equivalent number of hours of teaching on a per pupil basis. Substantial improvements could be made in these schools if an appropriate and sensitive investment strategy were established. (YLB)

DAYTONA BEACH -- Racing at speeds approaching 180 mph hour, Bobby Labonte experienced major technical difficulties at Daytona International Speedway.
"The 20 car landed on my windshield," he said.
Sunday's Daytona 500 history took an ugly, gory turn on Lap 176, where the ride got bumpy for 19 drivers on the backstretch coming off Turn 2. The incident wiped out nearly half the field.
The unavoidable domino effect provided the most visually graphic moment of the race: Tony Stewart's No. 20 Pontiac catching on fire and flipping three times before plopping on top of Pontiac teammate Labonte.
"I hate to think what would have happened if my car had continued to go a little faster," Labonte said.
Unconscious for about 90 seconds, Stewart was able to regain his bearings somewhat when Labonte approached him to see whether he was OK.
"You car is ruined," Labonte said. "You want us to cut the roof and get you out?"
"Nah, I'm OK," Stewart said.
Stewart underwent a CT scan of his head and neck and an X-ray of his left shoulder at Halifax Medical Center late Sunday afternoon, though he did not appear to have any life-threatening injuries. He did sustain a concussion but was released later in the day. Five other drivers -- Labonte, Jeff Gordon, Jerry Nadeau, Robby Gordon and Ward Burton -- were seen and released from the infield care center with no injuries.
"They took him to the hospital just to beat the traffic," Labonte said. "We talked about who was the president and he remembered, even though we were in the state of Florida. That was pretty good."
Otherwise, there was little comical levity on a day when Michael Waltrip won a 43-car race marred by the death of NASCAR icon Dale Earnhardt. A new aerodynamic package mandated by NASCAR for competitive balance allowed the cars to cluster together and challenge each other on every lap.
There were 49 lead changes among 14 drivers, the most since 1983 when there were 59 among 11 drivers.
That would become trivial minutiae for the 19 drivers whose Sunday drive came to an abrupt halt. The incident appeared to be triggered when Robby Gordon's car bumped Burton, who then spun into Stewart.
"I just hope everybody is OK," Robby Gordon said. "Tony got up underneath Ward. I don't know if they touched or not. I got on the back of Ward. It's unfortunate."
Every driver who walked away from the mangled mess of metal seemed to have a sense that a major crash was going to happen. It was only a matter of fate's indiscriminate touch.
"We were putting on a heck of a show, but one little mistake like that and it's going to be a pretty big wreck," Jeff Gordon said. "You know it's coming. You keep your eyes on certain guys and what they're doing, but at that particular moment, I saw a car turned sideways. There were 15 or 20 cars that were right there. There's no getting through that. I don't care what your spotter says or where you go. It's just like a wall of cars."
With the guys behind the wheel trying to hang on at every turn.
"If you ask every driver, they'd say it's about racing," said Mark Martin, whose Viagra Ford was battered in the crash. "But I guess we're here to put on a show -- that's it. We're not here to race."

A stabbing and fire is under investigation at a Manchester apartment complex.
According to fire officials, the call came in around 3:15 a.m. reporting a fire at the Oakland Heights Apartments on Oakland Street.
Medics and police were already on scene of a stabbing at the same address, but it remains unclear if the incidents were related.
Officials said the victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the stabbing.
No one else was in the residence when police arrived.

Rich media traffic monitoring must go beyond traditional usage metrics. Excessive jitter or packet loss are often telltale signs of a voice and video issue, but where on the network was the problem introduced? Where did the DSCP value change and why wasn't the traffic prioritized correctly? Voice and video traffic monitoring often needs to be done campus-wide and, ideally, when quality of service slips, thresholds are breached, notifications are triggered, and if configured, traffic is rerouted. Does your company have the solution to investigate and accurately report on all of this recorded information on an end-to-end or hop-by-hop basis?
Plixer was the first Cisco NetFlow Partner to become certified for Cisco Medianet performance monitoring reports. This is a Flexible NetFlow technology that exports details on round trip time, jitter, packet loss, and other VoIP metrics.
"Scrutinizer provides detailed reports including the medianet performance monitoring statistics (round trip time, jitter, packet loss, bit/byte and packets, MAC Addresses, IP Addresses, VLANs, Domains, application recognition) to help you monitor and troubleshoot video, voice and data applications. These reports can help the network operator perform fault isolation of network issues affecting rich media applications, as well as track historical performance of various parts of the network."- Patricia Costa - Product Manager, Cisco Systems
New developments in NetFlow and IPFIX have led to some hardware vendors exporting VoIP details on Caller ID and Codec. Not only can our solution tell you the phone numbers dialed, we can report on the length of each call, as well as where the packet loss or jitter was introduced. End-to-end, hop-by-hop visibility shortens the trouble shooting process
Cisco Performance Routing (PfR) can export IP SLA details using Flexible NetFlow. When a router determines that a connection is a bit congested, it will evaluate existing flows and reroute traffic over different connections ensuring priority to time sensitive traffic. By using PfR and Cisco Performance Monitoring together with Plixer's Flow Hopper, administrators gain end-to-end network visibility on a link-by-link, hop-by-hop basis—all with NetFlow.


COLUMBIA COUNTY, Fla. -- Officials in Columbia County confirmed a tornado touched down just outside of Lake City around 9 a.m. Thursday morning.
The strength of the tornado is unknown, but it was powerful enough to cause significant damage to an outbuilding, uproot multiple large trees and impale buildings with large pieces of lumber, according to the National Weather Service.
Multiple trees fell near the intersection of Pinemount Road and SW Koonville Avenue. The debris shut down roads in the area for hours.
Neighbors said no homes were damaged by the storm.
The approximate width of the tornado was 50 yards, with a .75 mile path.

Although I am having a blast watching Wei Wuji and Xinyue's romance unfolds onscreen, I actually have very mixed feelings about the execution of some of the most anticipated scenes in the novel. Scenes that I expected the director to execute well did not produce the "after-effects" that I hope. The climatic moments in the novel ended up "anti-climatic" onscreen. The musical score, execution, and film cutting/editing were subpar and wasted the onscreen chemistry of the two main leads. Surprisingly, the drama succeeds in some "less important scenes" of the story that I least expected anything beyond some "lines recital."

How are you all enjoying Sound of the Desert? Besides the disappointing theme songs and score, I am loving every scene of Wei Wuji. Eddie Peng surpasses all of my expectations. He is dashing and wickedly charming onscreen. Although this new MV, once again, revolves mostly around Hu Ge's Mo Xun, there are still good scenes between Xingyue and Wei Wuji be relished about.

I have always been quite envious of Xinyue and Mo Xun's shippers because they have quite a few MVs entirely dedicated to their fanship. Well...I can finally be one happy shipper now that a 5-minute MV just released and it's filled with goody scenes between Xinyue and Wei Wuji. The vibes in this MV is a contrast to the previous two MVs where the focus was on Mo Xun. Xinyue and Mo Xun's relationship is repressed and constrained. Mo Xun. Xinyue and Wei Wuji's relationship reminds me of two lovebirds constantly pecking at each other. Their scenes definitely exude uninhibited fun.
Saturday, September 27, 2014
Great news for people who don't want to wait until October 1st to catch a glimpse of Sound of the Desert. Tencent, one of the largest web portal in China, procured the rights to broadcast a "sneak peek" version of the series starting September 28, 2014 (12:00 a.m.) Beijing time, which means the first chapter is already available for preview. "Sneak peek" version of the drama is Tencent's cut

A fellow Sound of Desert follower, Ironfinger, thoughtfully informed me of this teaser earlier today. I refrained from posting about it until a higher quality version of the video was available. The higher quality version has finally arrived and I can fangirl all the scenes that got unveiled in this short teaser.
I must say I am loving every scene of Eddie Peng's Wei Wuji in this drama. He is definitely a very very charismatic general in beautifully embroidered robes. Hahaha.

The magic date of October 1st is fast approaching for Sound of the Desert aficionados! Eight more days to go! Muahahaha! In the meantime, lots of promotional photos, videos, and leaked clips have surfaced on the internet. I have been busy scavenging whatever leaked online because I just do not want to wait for the snail pace release of the series. It always feels so good to get an early glimpse of anything related to this series. If you want to remain spoiler-free, don't watch the leaked clips.

Bottom Left to Right: Mei Changsu+Gong Yu, Princess Nihuang + Mei Changsu
One of the burning questions for those who are unfamiliar with the story of Nirvana in Fire is whether the drama adaptation will expand on the romance element. Specifically, will a love triangle exist between the three main leads, Mei Changsu (Hu Ge), Princess Nihuang (Liu Tao), and Prince Jing (Wang Kai)? How faithful will the production team remain to the novel? Will they spice things up to attract female viewers?
|Conceptual equation of my most anticipated pairing|
Monday, September 15, 2014
As the official release date is approaching, the Chinese large online media providers are bombarding us with new stills and teaser trailers. Besides the 22-minute long trailer, two additional short trailers have been released this month: 3-minute version and 1-minute version. One of my favorite shots in the 3-minute trailer is Wei Wuji (Eddie Peng) biting Xinyue(Liu Shi Shi)'s neck. A second shot that I really really like is Wei Wuji combing his lover's hair. Tang Ren Entertainment is totally remaining faithful to the original novel. All the juicy, spicy, hotness between the main leads are playing out onscreen.

My initial impression of Nirvana in Fire is a fictitious but very telling account of imperial power struggle in dynastic China. Brother is pited against brother. Father is pited against son. Yet among all the intense rivalries and breakdown of familial bond, a strong sense of brotherhood can still exist. It is this brotherhood between the two male leads that captivated me.

The more research I did into Shandong Film and TV Group and Lang Ya Bang, the more emotionally immersed I became into the story, particularly into one character - Prince Jing 靖王 or Xiao Jingyan 萧景琰, the seventh prince of the Southern Liang Dyansty. Prince Jing is the second leading character in this story who emerges as the dark horse in the succession battle and ultimately wins the throne. In contrast to many TV dramas that markets its story around the "one true pairing," Nirvana in Fire is lacking in the romance department. The novel centers heavily on brotherhood and revenge. It chronicles the male protagonist's one-man journey of revenge and the brotherly relationship between Mei Changsu (formerly Lin Shu) and his cousin Prince Jing.

Hua Qian Gu recently held a press conference in Guangxi Province. In an interview, Wallace Huo supposedly revealed that he and Liu Shi Shi do not have any intimate scenes in The Imperial Doctress. The love relationship is unfortunately one-sided. Wallace Huo's Zhu Qizhen is completely enthralled and lovelorn over Liu Shi Shi‘s Tan Yunxian. On the other hand, she is in love with his younger brother, Zhu Qiyu, played by Huang Xuan.

We now have a fresh glimpse of The Imperial Doctress with these newly released character stills. The costume theme is very typical of Tangren Production. However, the details and cut of the costumes in this production are perhaps one of the most accurately depicted Ming Dynasty clothing I have seen in Chinese TV productions. The colors, the intricate embroidery, elegance, and simplicity are all in line with Ming Dynasty clothing books I perused. Many will feel Ming Dynasty fashion is very reminiscent of Joseon fashion in Korean dramas. The Chinese Ming Dynasty and Korean Joseon Dynasty were two very politically and culturally connected geographies. In fact, the Ming Dynasty had a very heavy influence on the bureaucratic structure of the Joseon government. Quite a few Ming Dynasty emperors also took Joseon noblewomen as their imperial consorts (see Emperor Yongle) and the Joseon court would pay annual "tributes" to the Ming court to show their tributary status.

Liu Minghan, Xiang Xiang's elder cousin, gets arrested by Changsha's local police forces on suspicions of being a national traitor. He was once a former student a Japanese medical school. Although Xue Junshan acts as if he tries his best to help Liu Minghan, he is actually the mastermind behind Liu Minghan's arrest. He convinces his boss to frame Liu Minghan for embezzling the military resources. When Xiangjun visits him in jail, Liu Minghan reveals to her Xun Junshun's malicious intent to wrong him .

Gu Qingming holds a public meeting to educate the city residents about the destructive power of shelling and where to take coverage during Japanese aerial bombing. He wants everyone to be conscious of he fact that no concrete or mud walls could protect their life under the Japanese artillery. City residents need to unite and coordinate under a common threat of Japanese invasion. After the public workshop, Xiang Xiang finally realizes the severity of her actions and she genuinely apologizes for her foolish behavior.

Please refer to character guide.
The year 1938, the ancient City of Changsha is encapsulated under the grim fog of war. Families of young marriageable girls scurries to marry them off to avoid being the next casualty of war. In the Tea Courtyard Alley lives the Hu family whose 16-year old younger daughter, Xiangxiang, refuses to enter the bond of matrimony. She solicit the help of her twin brother, Hu Xiaoman, to escape from a matchmaking session. Unfortunately, her escape plan is punctuated by her brother-in-law, Xue Junshan. As Head of the Security Forces, Xue Junshan uses his political connections to set up an matchmaking appointment and forces Xiang Xiang to meet Gu Qingming, the only son of a prominent Nationalist government official. Xiang Xiang sees Gu Qingming as a princely snob spoiled by the favors of his powerful family and takes the opportunity to publicly mock his privileged upbringing. After Xiang Xiang inadvertently pricked at his greatest disappointment in life (i.e., his inability to go into real combat), they ended the first meeting on a bitter note.

After a year of patience waiting, Battle of Changsha is officially slated to air on T
uesday, March 5, 2014 (date has changed to March 8, 2014). However, the first networks to buy the initial broadcasting rights are two local television channels in China: Jiangsu City Chanel and Shanghai Television Chanel. I'm not quite sure what this means in terms of online access to the release. I have not heard any news regarding the online streaming rights on the major online video portals. Let's pray there will be streaming sources to watch this series next week!
Monday, February 10, 2014
There is not much to report about Sound of the Desert. The newest bit of info is quite generic and doesn't mean much. All I know is Sound of the Desert will likely broadcast this year. When this year? No idea. What channel? A local provincial channel. This means not everyone in China will have access to the broadcast of the drama, and consequently translates to less sources for downloads and streaming.

I tend to like remakes because every adaptation give a different perspective to the same story. It allows me to delve deeper into the original story. While the 1983 and 1997 TVB versions represent the core of wuxia and Zhang Jizhong's 2003 remake added historical vibes to the wuxia genre, the 2013 adaptation also has its value. One aspect the 2013 remake excels or arguably surpasses previous adaptations is the emotional level the storytelling is able to emote to the viewers. The plight of the characters feel personal thanks to the moving musical score. I read that many netizens tended to be more emotionally distant to the Xiao Feng in the past. Now they feel more connected to the Qiao Feng character with Wallace Chung's portrayal. For me, I have always been attached to the Xiao Feng character as kid; consequently, my endless rant about Xiao Feng.

|Top Left: Qiao Feng tries to comfort a very ill A'zhu ; Top Right: Qiao Feng protects A'zhi from danger|
Bottom Left: Qiao Feng and A'zhi during their days in Liao; Bottom Right: Qiao Feng and A'zhu share a loving moment
Describing the complicated relationship between Qiao Feng, A'zhu, and A'zi can get rather convoluted. Qiao Feng technically does not have a semblance of romantic feeling for his so-called "little sister-in-law," A'zi. While Qiao Feng and A'zhu share mutual love and understanding for each other, A'zi's romantic obsession for Qiao Feng is bordering psychotic and possessive in nature. A'zhi's love for Qiao Feng stems largely from Qiao Feng's unquestioned love for her sister. She fell in love with someone's love story and wished be the receiver of that profound love.

My decision to religiously follow 2013 Semi-Devil and Demi-Gods during its broadcast sprung entirely from my love for the subtheme song "Lovesick," whose segments were often inserted in the Hunan TV teaser trailers. I just grew madly obsessed with the song because the melody was reminiscent of traditional wuxia music. The lyrics of the song also aptly describes the tragic love between the Beggar Sect Leader, Qiao Feng, and the Murong clan's maidservant, A'zhu. Despite the intense negative reaction toward this remake, I found this adaptation rather watchable, particularly the Qiao Feng's story arc.

Bouncy Brawling in my Pocket
Sexy 3D fighting just became portable.
Okay, I have finally validated my status as a Dead or Alive fanatic. I not only bring around videos of Tecmo’s flagship fighter around for anytime watching, or use wallpapers of the DOA girls from time to time… now I can actually play DOA on my phone. Yep, ON MY PHONE. The original game on the Playstation 1 (and my all-time favorite of the series, honestly). It’s all thanks to fpsece, a cool freeware Playstation emulator that’s available online. Install this baby on your pocket pc and you’re good to go. Well, not really… you also have to track down several things, like all the apps you’ll need to create your own ISOs (basically the actual PS1 game compressed into a readable format, which are not easily found), some files that will make the app usable, and of course the know-how to actually do these things.
It took me several weeks (I discovered it all some time ago), but I finally found everything and was able to put together a virtual PS1 in my O2 XDA II Mini. And of course, I also managed to get the damn program working properly (basically the hardest part was actually getting playable ISOs) so now, I’m dandy. The game actually looks incredible on the Mini’s screen, hi-res and pretty smooth- albeit pretty much in slow motion- but it’s actually pretty cool… like fighting in bullet time. Heh.
Not only that, but I actually have made three games portably playable- not just Dead or Alive but Final Fantasy Tactics and Capcom’s cutesy but cool Pocket Fighters. I created the ISOs myself, and now I can load them anytime I want. The only flaws being that DOA is pretty huge (at 471mb, compared to only 62.2mb for Final Fantasy Tactics and 38mb for Pocket Fighters) and the games tend to play verrrrryyyyyyy slooooooooowly…. But still playable.
Of course, I have to consider that the Mini doesn’t have too many buttons, which makes strategy games like FF Tactics easy to play. Also, games using overly complicated joypad motions will probably be too hard to appreciate.
Anyway, DOA is basically all forward-forward movements, plus a button or so. It’s not like Streetfighter that has diagonal directions (which are impossible to do on the PPC controls), so it’s also pretty good as a fighter; you have a wealth of moves you can do even if some of the more elaborate moves are unusable.
Now I’m raring to get my hands on as many PS1 games as I can to rip and turn them into the portable format. Final Fantasy VII? Suikoden II? Soul Edge? Mmmm. We’ll see.
It’s just so awesome. Who would ever have thought it possible? Playstation games on a damn phone!!!
WHO FRICKIN’ NEEDS A PSP?!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Ysolde de Bouchier’s life is a hot mess. Her mate, Baltic, doesn’t want to stop the fighting by joining the weyr. The Father of all dragons wants her to accomplish a task but what and how she doesn’t know. Ancient enemies want to tear her life apart and harm her family and she doesn’t know how to control her dragon side. What’s a girl to do? Take control that’s what, and that is exactly what Ysolde is going to do….sort of.
Amid a spellbinding story of love, passion, hilarity, and joy a reader can’t help but be dragged along for the ride. Katie MacAlister’s Dragon series is infectious and laugh out loud funny! I couldn’t wait to turn to the next page and find out what shenanigans Ysolde has gotten herself into again. Thank you Katie for bringing a little more laughter in to the world.
Hell hath no fury like a ticked-off dragon…
Ysolde de Bouchier has a lot on her plate, which isn’t unusual considering her Light Dragon mate Baltic is still at odds with just about everyone, starting with his former guard Thala and her outlaw posse, right down to his dragon god father. Ysolde herself fairs no better, since the First Dragon has her in his sights as well, demanding that she right past wrongs…and her time to do that is quickly running out.
With the help of some familiar friends, Ysolde sets into motion an elaborate plan that will have repercussions throughout the mortal and immortal worlds. But when a member of her family is held hostage, no one is safe from the fire of her rage.

The Cost… Prioritize Your Needs Over Your Wants

Want to really wow your guests with your wedding invitations? Consider incorporating Chinoiserie, an old technique that features Chinese motifs to create stunning prints.
Although this trend was not widely popular in the past, it has gained popularity because of its exquisite appearance on wedding cards. You can select your preferred colors for the motif and even add gold detailing. For example, a teal and aqua combination would make for a stunning wedding invite.
Personalized Watercolors For That Extra Touch
Your guests will love this extra touch! Illustrations have been on the top since the start of 2023, and illustrations are included in everything: giveaways, wedding cards, or favors. Illustrated watercolor wedding invitations are a unique and beautiful alternative to traditional cards and can also be an excellent option for wedding save-the-date cards.

To Sum It Up

Instead of the traditional wedding invitation, consider using some of the above suggestions for a unique and unforgettable outcome that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.

Assessing a new concert venue on opening day is sometimes tricky. Listeners need time to get used to acoustics and atmosphere. Performers, meanwhile, have to learn how to listen to themselves, and how to react and relate to other musicians in the space. Concert halls, in short, need to be broken in, and it can sometimes be a long process.
What is immediately obvious about Hall One at Kings Place, however, is that the acoustic is warm, clear and absolutely merciless. Classical music sounds terrific in here, with every note, texture and colour perfectly audible over an extreme dynamic range. Yet the acoustic is also capable of exposing the slightest slip in technique or intonation. And it picks up every bit of extraneous noise, such as the rustle of sheet music on stands and the snatched breaths of brass and wind players. It's a place that also imposes silence on its audiences: fidget or cough and everyone rightly glares at you. You learn very quickly to sit still.
The first concerts of the opening five-day festival were given by Endymion, with their quirky mix of contemporary music and post-Romantic chamber works. At the start they were nothing if not heroic, since their first concert was accompanied by workmen hammering elsewhere in the building, along with the relentless click of camera shutters.
They kicked off with the world premiere of Simon Holt's Disparate, an oboe solo written for Melinda Maxwell. In addition to its English significance - the title means "folly" in Spanish - the work is in effect the instrumental equivalent of an operatic mad scene of tremendous complexity, and elicited a powerhouse performance from Maxwell. The hammering continued intermittently through Kondo's Birthday Hocket and a mesmerising performance of Castiglione's Intonazione, until Bartok's Contrasts, abrasively delivered, managed to drown out the clatter. By the time Endymion got to their second gig, the racket had stopped. Ligeti's spectral Hommage à Brahms was followed by Thomas Dunhill's Quintet in E Flat. The latter, somewhere between Brahms and Elgar, is Edwardian hokum, though they played it with panache.
Hall Two is very different - a potentially more versatile and, it would seem, more popular - space, packed by a trendy crowd for a concert given by the Duke Quartet. Arvo Pärt's Summa, deftly and gracefully done, was followed by Steve Reich's Different Trains, a work for quartet and tape, in which the melodic contours of recorded speech form the basis of an exhilarating yet vaguely sinister portrait of travel and speed. Every lurch in tempo and volume registered thrillingly, and the response was enthusiastic. The sight-lines are less than ideal - the decision to use flat, rather than rake, seating was perhaps a mistake - but it's already an exciting performing space nevertheless.

OXFORD – A minority vendor fair Tuesday is geared toward opening more business opportunities with the state’s universities.
Tuesday’s event, “Minority Business Expo: Making the University Connection,” begins at 1 p.m. in the Jackson Avenue Center multipurpose room.
The University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University are co-sponsoring the event.
“The purpose of this event is to provide a one-on-one networking opportunity for north Mississippi minority businesses to have access to university departments and key university personnel,” said James Windham, UM director of procurement services.
The state Institutions for Higher Learning board created the Mississippi Public University Minority Economic Opportunity Initiative to help minority businesses gain access to the quote and bid process with the state’s eight universities.
“MSU is constantly seeking out new suppliers so we can expand the number of companies participating in the public procurement process,” said Don Buffum, MSU director of procurement and contracts.
IHL contracted with Where2Go411.com, a Web-based platform that connects vendors to buyers through its quote feature.
Minority companies post information about their businesses and goods and services they provide. Universities send and receive quotes, proposals and subcontractring opportunities through the online system.
Online registration is encouraged and is available through the website.
“We’re part of the solution, using technology to connect people around the state and nation,” said Kathy Times, vice president and chief operating officer of Where2Go411.
Times said the web portal is easy to navigate, and businesses who otherwise might not have an opportunity to do work for one of the state’s universities now have that chance.
“We’re looking for businesses with the capacity and experience to do this,” Times said.
No business is too small and shouldn’t be deterred by its size, she said. Perhaps a smaller job, like subcontracting work, can lead to bigger and more work down the road.
“It’s about getting your foot in the door,” Times said.
Jackson State University recently hosted the first minority vendor fair, and Times said it was well-attended.
Tuesday’s event is the first at Ole Miss, and Times expects about 50 to 100 attendees.

ZURICH (Reuters) - A refugee center in western Switzerland burned down early on Wednesday, but nobody was injured and the cause of the fire was still unclear, police said.
The fire brigade in the town of Biberist was able to put the fire out quickly after an alarm at 3 a.m. local time. All 10 residents of the center were able to leave the buildings unharmed, police in the canton of Solothurn said in a statement.
A police spokesman said it could take two to three days for results of the investigation to emerge.
Cases of violence against refugees have been rare in Switzerland, where the number of people seeking asylum rose last year to 39,523.

The MEBDW lithography technology enables “on-chip security”, making Taiwan the world’s first development and pilot production for security chips with unique IDs, providing information security for the Internet, AI, electronic payment and automotive chips.
The MEB12 program participants include the world’s only commercial MEBDW lithography equipment manufacturer, Mapper Lithography B.V., from the Netherlands and U.S. design software supplier Synopsys, Inc. SCREEN will support the MEB12 program with both DUO lithography coat/develop track and SU-3200 single wafer cleaning systems.
As one of the MEB12 project initiators, Professor Po-Wen Chiu of NTHU’s Department of Electrical Engineering and chairman of the Center for Nanotechnology, Materials Science, and Microsystems, pointed out: “This project is a successful case to use Taiwan’s strong penetration capability in the semiconductor manufacturing sector, to form an alliance with international semiconductor giants and build up the most advanced commercial 12 inch MEBDW lithography process line in the campus, making NTHU the world’s first university to have this unique R&D capability.”
“We are very pleased to be supporting NTHU in Taiwan as they pioneer the MEB12 alliance,” noted Tadahiro Suhara, president of SCREEN Semiconductor Solutions. “This is a testament to the value our SCREEN equipment technology and resources bring to innovative IoT applications.”
The MEB12 alliance will allow Taiwan and neighboring Asian semiconductor IC design and manufacturing companies to join the alliance with membership and jointly develop the innovative chips. According to Professor Chiu, “In addition to developing security chips, it can also be used as a maskless IC design verification platform which survives the start-up IC design companies by significantly reducing the soaring costs derived from the photomasks, and a low cost foundry service with high resolution and high graphic-flexibility for the niche applications.”

Relentless eye contact with that dot
From where it starts, it draws a line
My dreams: the dot, the line: my path;
Naturally, I follow, proceeding to control
Making short work of concrete blocks
A wrecking ball, unbarring the road
Footprints trickle of cinder, new age pathfinder
I light and lead the way
For those afraid to move
I fight demons yet still have time
To live, love, laugh
Earth, my house, for now
My ambition, far from fulfilled, but soon
And when all is said and done
I re-route my life force, to the next world
But till then
I embrace my present existence.

CP# 01-27910 Baez v. South Jersey Health System
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
DIVISION OF WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
BRIDGETON DISTRICT OFFICE
South Jersey Health System
Honorable Robert F. Butler
Judge of Compensation
April 12, 2002
The subject matter of this appeal is my decision to return to the petitioner a motion which sought an order directing the respondent insurance carrier to provide medical treatment because the content of the motion failed to conform to the rules of the Division of Workers’ Compensation.
Since there was no hearing conducted in this matter the facts presented to me for my consideration were limited to those contained in the initial pleadings and in the petitioner’s moving papers.
The claim petition filed on behalf of the petitioner with the workers compensation division on August 30, 2001 alleged that she was involved in a compensable accident on February 1, 2001. She also alleged that she hurt her right shoulder as a result of this accident. In its answer, the employer admitted that the accident was work related. It also stated that the respondent had provided medical treatment to the petitioner and had paid her $7,848.96 in temporary disability benefits.
On April 11, 2002, the workers compensation division received a motion for medical benefits. In his affidavit, counsel for the petitioner alleges that the nature of the medical treatment he was seeking was based upon the content of January 24, 2002 medical report authored by Dr. Daniel Kaufman. That recommendation was to “try to get her to a shoulder specialist in Philadelphia probably one of Rothman’s group.”
After reviewing the entirety of the petitioner’s motion it was returned to the petitioner because it failed to comply with the requirements of Rule 12:235-5.2(b)2.
The following are the reasons for that decision;
There is a long standing policy and procedure established by the division of Workers Compensation that requires a judge of compensation to review each motion for temporary and/or medical benefits filed with the division. The purpose of that review is to determine whether its content complies with the requirements of the above cited rule. Should there be compliance with that rule, the judge is to direct that it be listed with priority within 30 days of its filing. In the event that the motion fails to comply with the rule, the judge is to immediately return the motion with an explanation as to its non-compliance. In this case the motion was returned by mail on April 12, 2002.
The Workers Compensation Act requires the employer or its workers compensation insurance carrier to provide to an injured worker any and all medical treatment that may be necessary to cure him of his injuries. As a concomitant, the employer has the statutory right to designate the physician who shall provide treatment to the petitioner. N.J.S.A. 34:15-15.
In most cases, motions seeking medical treatment like this one are generated for one of two reasons. Either the respondent has refused to provide any medical treatment such as when it denies the occurrence of a compensable accident or has alleged that it was inadequate.
In this case the petitioner acknowledges in its pleadings that the respondent did provide extensive medical treatment to her. On May 30, 2001 she underwent a surgical procedure by Dr. Fred McAlpin, an orthopedic surgeon authorized by the respondent. Following surgery the petitioner underwent considerable physical therapy, administration of injections, and anti-inflammatory relief, all of which were provided by the respondent. Because of the petitioners continuing symptoms, Dr. McAlpin suggested that the petitioner obtain a second or independent medical opinion regarding her condition since he felt that no additional medical treatment would be helpful. He also suggested a functional capacity evaluation to determine her work status. These too were provided by the respondent.
The second opinion or evaluation was performed by Dr. Mark Levitsky, a board certified orthopedic surgeon. After his evaluation, Dr. Levitsky recommended that the petitioner’s shoulder undergo manual manipulation under anesthesia in the hope of improving the range of motion. This procedure was authorized by the respondent and occurred on October 16th, 2001. Thereafter she once again underwent physical therapy and subsequently an MRI study of her shoulder. Dr. Levitsky reviewed the MRI study and then apparently indicated that the petitioner’s condition had reached the maximum medical improvement and that no further medical treatment could improve her condition. Dr. Levitsky’s medical treatment, the physical therapy, and the MRI were provided and paid for by the respondent.
The petitioner’s motion was returned because it did not contain a medical report stating the “specific type of treatment being sought” as required by section (b) 2 of the cited rule. That section of the rule contemplates a statement by the same physician from whom the petitioner is seeking the medical treatment. Only by the proposed physician’s precise description of the type of treatment he opines to be necessary, such as physical therapy, surgery, or obtaining diagnostic studies can a prima facie basis for relief be presented to the court.
Additionally, in order for a doctor’s suggested course of treatment to be able to serve as a basis for seeking relief in a motion of this type, Section 15 specifically requires that the treatment be both “necessary” and “curative.” Nowhere contained in the report of Dr. Kaufman is there even a suggestion that a visit to a “shoulder specialist in Philadelphia” is medically necessary or curative in nature. Rather he intimates it to be something to “try”.
I also find relevant to my decision in this case that both doctors who treated the petitioner were orthopedic surgeons and both were of the opinion that there was no further medical treatment which would benefit the petitioner. Although Dr. Levitsky attempted to improve her condition by manipulation after Dr. McAlpin saw no chance for improvement, Dr. Levitsky implies that following the completion of his treatment, the petitioner’s condition was no better than before. He too opined that her condition was plateaued.
The doctor upon whom the petitioner now relies is not an orthopedic surgeon. A salient statement was made by Dr. Kaufman in his January 24, 2002 office note. He states; “I am obviously the wrong one to make any kind of evaluation here.” As such his recommendation merely constitutes a request for another opinion from an orthopedic surgeon besides doctors McAlpin and Levitsky – a third opinion, if you will. Such a request cannot serve as a basis for a motion for medical treatment. It is precisely this type of opinion that this section of the rule was designed to eliminate.
This court notes that the return of the motion to petitioner’s counsel certainly does not preclude him from obtaining on his own an opinion from a qualified physician regarding medical treatment that he deems necessary and that he is willing to administer. If that is accomplished the requirements of the rule will be satisfied and that motion will be listed for hearing.
Even if this court would have decided the issue to the contrary, had listed and tried the motion to a conclusion and found in favor of the petitioner, it would have been unable to order the respondent to authorize and pay for an orthopedic evaluation by the Rothman Institute in Philadelphia. I am aware of no statutory provision of the Workers Compensation Act or any case law interpreting it, that empowers this tribunal to direct an employer to provided medical treatment by a medical provider located outside the state of New Jersey when the petitioner is the resident of this state.
For the reasons stated above and pursuant to Rule 12:235-5.2(b)2, the petitioner’s motion has been returned.
Hon. Robert F. Butler
Judge of Compensation

This PhD application addresses a key priority in the malaria research field by contributing to the design of a malaria elimination strategy based on reactive case detection and community participation that will be tested in a cluster--‐randomized control trial. This fits with the WHO recommendation of accelerating efforts towards elimination by introducing novel strategies to reduce the number of undetected cases . In addition, the application addresses a key capacity building priority in medical anthropology in The Gambia as there is limited expertise in this discipline. Current malaria elimination approaches share the limitation of involving the relatively arbitrary and indiscriminate selection of large numbers of non--‐infected people for screening and/or treatment, leading to high costs, potential population exhaustion, acceptability problems, increased risk for parasite resistance, a heavy burden on health facilities and little efforts to contextualize strategies, including community involvement. To overcome these limitations, an innovative intervention will be designed and evaluated in a cluster--‐randomized trial in The Gambia. The intervention consists of targeted treatment of potential asymptomatic malaria carriers within a malaria patient’s household, in combination with strong community involvement i.e. reactive household-based self-administered treatment (RHOST) (project funded by the Joint Global Health Trials Scheme supported by MRC, Wellcome Trust and DfID). The aim of this PHD research is to design the most effective, socially acceptable strategy for implementing this intervention. Through the social science research that forms the basis of this PhD application, implementation of household-based self-administered treatment and community participation will be continuously evaluated and improved for 2 years. The final iteration of the intervention will be tested in a cluster--‐randomized trial with malaria prevalence at the end of the malaria transmission season as the primary endpoint (outside the scope of this PhD). Local acceptability, adequacy, feasibility and community participation will also be assessed during the trial.
