Freelancing

Freelancing Stan Hollingworth (bio) When the alarm rang, Lisa struggled into a standing position. A dull ache rested just behind her eyes and her mouth was dry. Trudging into the guest cottage kitchen, she pushed a button on a coffee maker. The digital display indicated six o'clock. The cottage was a quaint addition to a spacious, custom home in an affluent suburb of sprawling lawns and tree-lined streets. Lisa wasn't a guest; she and her husband, Kevin, owned the valuable but heavily-mortgaged property. She had adopted the guest house as a sanctuary from marital and financial problems. With a cup of steaming coffee, she sat in a breakfast nook. For a few moments, she drifted into visual memories of better times. She and Kevin were hosting a pool party for friends and business associates. Conversation and laughter filled the backyard as the smell of grilled seafood and steak wafted over an array of guests. A door slamming in the main house brought Lisa back to the present. An engine growled as Kevin started his aging BMW and backed from the driveway. Lisa finished her coffee and quickly dressed. She left the cottage and approached the house, passing a water-starved lawn and an empty swimming pool. Entering a spacious kitchen that was once state of the art but now needed upgrades, she rushed down a long hallway and paused in front of a bedroom door. She turned the knob and teased the door open. Stepping through a maze of electric guitars, amplifiers, and video game equipment, she made her way to the bedside of her fourteen-year-old son, Barry. Tall for his age with long hair and pale skin, he was sprawled among pillows and blankets. She gently nudged his shoulder until his eyes opened. "Barry," she whispered. "It's time for school." "I'm not going today," he mumbled. "Get out of my room." "You have to go, honey," she continued. "You know what the counselor said. Any more absences and you might not move on to high school." "Screw the counselor," Barry said. "Get out of my room." Lisa bit her lip and brushed hair from her forehead. She had always been insecure as a mother. Unassertive and lacking the knack for child-rearing, she struggled from the day Barry was born. If he cried or fussed as an infant, she always picked him up. As a toddler and preschooler, she bought him whatever he asked for or pointed at in a store. His room filled [End Page 59] with every gadget and toy imaginable. As he grew older, the toys changed to expensive electronic devices. Kevin, who had been ambivalent about having a child, spent as little time as possible with his son. School and Barry clashed from the first day of kindergarten. He couldn't cope with a world that didn't treat him as his mother did. Either he was uncooperative and sat alone for days at a time or he acted out in clever, devious ways. He was passed from one grade to another because the school district didn't know what else to do with him. Now, in the last year of middle school, he had become sullen and distant. "Listen, honey," Lisa pleaded, sitting on the bed. "If you go to school until the end of the grading period, which is only two weeks away, I'll buy you two tickets to a rock festival in the city this weekend. You can take one of your friends." Showing signs of life, Barry peered at his mother. "How about two of my friends?" he asked. When Lisa agreed, he pushed himself up and rummaged through clothes strewn about the room. He pulled on an extra-large sweatshirt, worn jeans, and high-top canvas sneakers. Lisa rushed to the kitchen and made a breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast. After eating a piece of toast he'd dipped into an egg yolk, Barry left the rest untouched. Lisa retrieved Barry's backpack from his room. Together they walked to the car. ________ Kevin maneuvered from one lane to another through congested morning traffic. His hair was pulled back into...

Virtual reconstruction of the main house of the Sennitsy estate situated in Moscow region: sources and research methods

The problem of historical and cultural heritage preservation is very relevant these days. Increasing number of monuments is being destroyed every day; however, our compatriots are continuously becoming more interested in landmarks Russia. There has been a marked increase in the number of tourist routes in Moscow region. Numerous noble estates represent an important part of the region’s cultural assets. In Moscow region, there are lots of former estates of prominent families of the Russian Empire: today many of these properties are in ruins. Manor Sennitsy situated in Ozyory district of Moscow region is one of such gradually decaying cultural monuments with a rich history. This study analyzes a set of sources, on the basis of which the author creates a virtual 3D-reconstruction of manor Sennitsy in the period of late 19th – early 20th century when it was owned by the family of Count F.E. Keller. The source base for the study is very diverse: plans, drawings, cartographic materials, photographs, inventories of property, construction cost estimates. The author describes gradual process of 3D-modelling, in the framework of which softwares SketchUp and Twinmotion were used. Reconstruction of buildings of the Sennitsy manor complex allows to visualize an image of the destroyed monument of culture, as well as to demonstrate high potential of using 3D-modelling methods in history. This study is carried out within the framework of the Project of reconstruction of appearance of the noble estates of the Moscow region, supported by the Department of Historical Information Science of the Faculty of History of M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University.

Space-time analysis of scientific research on Brosimum alicastrum Swartz

Brosimum alicastrum is a forest species of broad natural distribution in southeastern Mexico, with high potential for animal and human diets, although with incipient forest management. The objective of this study was to analyze the spatial-temporal evolution of basic and applied research where B. alicastrum was the object of study; through a bibliometric analysis of the texts available in the main editorial houses; to identify research areas that are not developed. In 308 texts found from 1883 to 2020, spatial-temporal evolution showed an exponential growth that concentrated the highest productivity from 2002 to 2020 (222 texts) in countries of the Americas. For the case of Mexico, it was found that the research was focused the southeast, which coincides with the natural distribution of the species. However, this research had a low impact (measured by the number of bibliographic citations) as a result of the publication in journals edited in Spanish, while impact journals are led by English-speaking countries, in English. Therefore, the research about B. alicastrum in Latin America has a broad margin of improvement through the publication of texts in English and in journals of greater impact, through the development of research areas that have been slightly explored such as silviculture of the species with special emphasis on its propagation, management in nursery, and forest plantations, which can contribute to food security in each country by ensuring the prime material of an emerging food agro-industry.

EXPLORATION OF SPATIAL ARRANGEMENT CHANGES AS A FORM OF SPATIAL SUSTAINABILITY IN DWELLING. Case Study : Kilungan House in Kudus Old City, Indonesia

Space is an architectural form that is used to accommodate activities with certain functions. In a space contained activities carried out by humans and functions that represent these activities. Sometimes during this period the space undergoes changes in activity and function. Space can undergo physical and non-physical changes to respond to changes in these activities and functions. Kilungan is a local term used to refer to the tall massive fence in the Old City of Kudus. The massive fence, known as the kilungan, was built with one of the goals to provide a sense of security. Inside the kilungan house, there are at least 2 main building masses, namely the main house and the supporting buildings. The spaces in the kilungan house which have been inhabited for more than 100 years have also undergone changes in response to the spatial sustainability of the dwelling. The purpose of this study is to explore, describe, and get the meaning of changes in space in the kilungan house. This study uses an inductive qualitative method. The initial stage is to make observations to get the distribution of the kilungan house. The research area is limited to the Old City of Kudus, Indonesia. The core stage of the research is data collection and analysis carried out simultaneously inductively. Exploration is carried out on cases to obtain findings in accordance with research objectives. The results of this study were found changes in spatial arrangement in the kilungan house in the form of: (1) changes in function without changing the physical form of space, found in spaces that accommodate different activities but have the same activity pattern; (2) changing the function of changing the spatial arrangement without changing the mass of the building; (3) changes in spatial arrangement change the physical building; (4) shifting activity changes zoning (5) Determining the direction of change does not change the orientation of the building in the circle. ; (6) Spatial sustainability in residential areas is indicated by changes in activities, functions, spatial arrangement but does not change the core things which are the concept of the kilungan house. Spatial sustainability can be found in the adaptations made by building users to new functions in the spaces in the dwelling.

Ukraine war: A war of languages and bodies

For most readers, myself included, the views and opinions on the Russian attack and consequent war in Ukraine are dependent on the main media houses, who present the situation in a certain language. In this article, Badiou’s understanding of democratic materialism (languages and bodies) will be explored within the context of the war, and how language is used to order bodies into categories of good and evil. In democratic materialism, there are only bodies and languages, but no truth. The question that will be explored in these few pages is, is there a way beyond democratic materialism via truth towards a materialist dialectic?Contribution: The paper contributes to the current discussion on the war in Ukraine and tries to make sense of the geopolitical context of the war. It then seeks to engage with these discourses from a theological perspective.

Occurrence of asymptomatic malaria infection and living conditions in the lowlands of Ethiopia: a community-based cross-sectional study

BackgroundA significant decline in malaria burden was documented in previously high burden African countries. Even though the global decline in malaria burden is significant, about 95% of it was typically found in 29 African countries and the decline was affected by COVID-19 in 2020. The considerable reduction in malaria incidence was noted due to effective prevention and treatment efforts, and rapid changes in living conditions. The relationship between the occurrence of asymptomatic malaria infection and household living conditions is well unstudied. This study aimed to determine the association between household living conditions and the occurrence of asymptomatic malaria in the lowlands of Ethiopia.MethodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2021 in twelve villages of Gambella, Southern Nation Nationalities and People Region and Afar in Ethiopia. A total of 1366 households were randomly selected, interviewed, and tested for malaria by rapid diagnostic test and blood film microscopic examination. Multiple logistic regression model was used to determine the independent association between living conditions and asymptomatic malaria infection.ResultsThe prevalence of asymptomatic malaria infection among individuals living in dwellings built with traditional floor/wall/roof ranges from 8.1% to 8.4% while it ranges from 2.0% to 4.6% among those living in modern floor/wall/roof houses. Dwellings built with traditional wall materials (P = 0.050), spending nights with cattle in the same house (P < 0.001), and availability of kitchen in the main house with no partition (P = 0.004) were significantly associated with asymptomatic malaria infection.ConclusionsAsymptomatic malaria infection was 4.3 times higher among occupants residing in dwellings built with traditional wall materials; 5.6 times higher among households spending nights with cattle in the same house, and 2.3 times higher among households with kitchen in the main house with no partition. Therefore, policies and strategies on malaria elimination need to address or target improvements of the above listed living conditions for the community. A multi sectoral action is required to use these social determinants as a vector control strategic addition; and malaria elimination programs are expected to coordinate the implementation.

Effect of Compaction Pressure and Sawdust Size on Briquette Made from Ulin Wood (Eusideroxylon Zwageri) and Gelam Wood (Melaleuca Cajuputi) to Combustion Characteristics

&lt;p class="00textwithouttab"&gt;In Kalimantan, gelam (Melaleuca cajuputi) grows naturally in the swamp forest reaching 40 m with a diameter around 35 cm. Gelam wood is very resistant to acid soil in the swamp forest. Despite of it’s small diameter, gelam wood is very strong. This wood is usually used as the main house, as mold or mall support in casting concrete. Ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri) is a typical plant of Kalimantan. In this study, the ignition duration, burning speed, and ash weight from briquette made from mixture of ulin and gelam sawdust was investigated. Size of sawdust used for briquette was varied for 40, 50, and 60 mesh while compaction pressure during briquette production was varied for 100, 125 and 150 kg/cm&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;. The study shows that the highest combustion temperature at 178 &lt;sup&gt;o&lt;/sup&gt;C occurred for briquette with compaction pressure of 150 kg/cm&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;. Meanwhile, the lowest combustion temperature was obtained in briquette witch compaction pressure of 100 kg/cm&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

At the Manyombah Mintuo event, the bride is paraded to the groom's house, then Baarak Iriang is performed from the bride's house from the groom's house to the accompaniment of Talempong unggan as an accompaniment for the entire series of baralek events. The function of Talempong Unggan music in Nagari Unggan is as a function of expression, a function of aesthetic enjoyment, an entertainment function, a communication function, and an economic resource function for musicians.

Effects of dietary crude protein concentration on animal performance and nitrogen utilisation efficiency at different stages of lactation in Holstein-Friesian dairy cows

Nitrogen (N) excretion from livestock production systems is of significant environmental concern; however, few studies have investigated the effect of dietary CP concentration on N utilisation efficiency at different stages of lactation, and the interaction between dietary CP levels and stages of lactation on N utilisation. Holstein-Friesian dairy cows (12 primiparous and 12 multiparous) used in the present study were selected from a larger group of cows involved in a whole-lactation study designed to examine the effect of dietary CP concentration on milk production and N excretion rates at different stages of lactation. The total diet CP concentrations evaluated were 114 (low CP), 144 (medium CP) and 173 (high CP) g/kg DM, with diets containing (g/kg DM) 550 concentrates, 270 grass silage and 180 maize silage. During early (70–80 days), mid- (150–160 days) and late (230–240 days) lactation, the same 24 animals were transferred from the main cow house to metabolism units for measurements of feed intake, milk production and faeces and urine outputs. Diet had no effect on BW, body condition score, or milk fat, protein or lactose concentration, but DM intake, milk yield and digestibilities of DM, energy and N increased with increasing diet CP concentration. The effect of diet on milk yield was largely due to differences between the low and medium CP diets. Increasing dietary CP concentration significantly increased urine N/N intake and urine N/manure N, and decreased faecal N/N intake, milk N/N intake and manure N/N intake. Although increasing dietary CP level significantly increased urine N/milk yield and manure N/milk yield, differences in these two variables between low and medium CP diets were not significant. There was no significant interaction between CP level and stage of lactation on any N utilisation variable, indicating that the effects of CP concentration on these variables were similar between stages of lactation. These results demonstrated that a decrease in dietary CP concentration from high (173 g/kg DM) to medium level (144 g/kg DM) may be appropriate for Holstein-Friesian dairy cow to maintain milk production efficiency, whilst reducing both urine N and manure N as a proportion of N intake or milk production.

Coupling CFD Simulation and Field Experiments in Summer to Prove Feng Shui Optimizes Courtyard Wind Environments: A Case Study of Prince Kung’s Mansion in Beijing

Feng shui in ancient China was harmonized with the natural environment. The layout of houses following feng shui is conducive to a comfortable wind environment. To explore the positive influence of feng shui on ventilation, this study takes Prince Kung’s Mansion, which has the characteristics of a feng shui layout, as the research object. In parallel, the study assumes a dissimilation layout that has lost the feng shui layout characteristics. Comparing the ventilation of courtyards in the summer for both the feng shui layout and the dissimilation layout through CFD simulation, the results were as follows: (1) the wind speed values in the summer, taken from 60 points in Prince Kung’s Mansion by way of CFD simulation and field experiments, were well coupled, which proves that PHOENICS is suitable for the courtyard wind environments simulation in this study. (2) The CFD simulation results show that the average wind speed and the comfortable wind speed zone ratio in the courtyards of the feng shui layout were higher than those of the dissimilation layout during the summer, and the courtyard wind speeds of the two layouts were linearly related. Therefore, the feng shui layout is more conducive to the comfort of courtyards’ wind environment than the dissimilation layout. (3) The front and rear wind pressure differences of the main houses in the feng shui layout can optimize the indoor ventilation better than those of dissimilation layout in the summer. (4) According to the evaluation criteria for the wind environment, the wind speed and wind pressure of the feng shui layout are superior to those of dissimilation layout in the summer. In summary, this study verifies that the layout of feng shui optimizes the courtyard wind environment in the summer, which embodies the ecological concept of the Chinese ancients in the layout of houses.

Characteristic Of Environmental Sanitation in Family With Stunting Children Under Five Years Of Age

Attention to malnutrition has increased in recent decades, one of which is stunting. The nutritional problem that is currently being highlighted in the world is stunting where there are around 161 million children experiencing stunting. Stunting is a measure of short height compared to age. Factors causing stunting consist of direct and indirect causes, one of which is from the aspect of environmental sanitation, namely access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene. This study aims to provide an overview of the characteristics of environmental sanitation in families with stunting children under five years of age in the Klatak and Wonosobo Public Health Centers, Banyuwangi. This research is a descriptive study and a case series design. The research subjects used were 60 stunting toddlers with proportional random sampling as the sampling technique. The variables in this study were environmental sanitation, which consisted of access to clean water, ownership of clean water facilities, ownership of bathrooms, ownership of latrines, and ownership of cattle pens. The research instrument used a questionnaire to measure the characteristics of respondents and environmental sanitation conditions, interview guidelines, observation sheets, KIA books, and weighing month reports. The data was processed using descriptive analysis. The results depicted in this study are that most of the research subjects live in families that have access to clean water, have bathrooms and latrines, but also in families who have cattle pens close to the main house. Monitoring of ownership, use, and maintenance of access to clean water, latrines, bathrooms, and livestock cages in the home environment must be carried out properly so that it can become one of the strategies in preventing stunting under five. Prevention of contamination of water, soil, and air quality is one of the ways in preventing stunting in toddlers so that toddlers can develop optimally according to their age and growth period.

Challenges and Opportunities of Backyard Poultry Production in Ezha District, Gurage Zone of Ethiopia

This study was conducted with the objective of assessing the opportunities and challenges of backyard poultry production at three villages in Ezha district, Gurage Zone of southern Ethiopia using a semi-structured questionnaire, field visit and interview with 150 randomly selected respondents. The dominant chicken production system in the study area was an extensive system (74%) with scavenging and seasonal supplementary feeding (53%). Grains are the main feed used. Almost 65% of poultry share the same room with the main house with perch, the rest 20%, and 15%, respectively, use the different shelters. Most of the farmers (80%) use traditional medicine to treat their chicken. The average age of first laying was 5months, mean number of eggs per clutch was 12. The mean clutch size was 3.3 and the hatchability percentage was 72%. The result revealed that the main constraints of village poultry production in the study area, especially in village2 were predator (48%), disease (33.7%), feed shortage (19.3%), market (10%), and the primary opportunity was extension (34%) followed by credit, (24.6%), market (23.4%) and feed access (18%) and, respectively. It is concluded that constraints and opportunities of village chicken production were identified. Controlling predators, improving the management practices, and educating the framers are viable options to improve the livelihood of the households. &#x0D; &#x0D;

The Front House

The Front House Cord Jefferson (bio) Garrett started noticing spots on the lawn a couple of months after the new tenants moved in. Just one at first, where the driveway met the sidewalk perpendicularly. And then a couple more a few feet away. Yellow-brown depressions, like cigarette burns on a big green sofa. Too much fertilizer can singe pockmarks like that into a lawn, but Garrett knew that these spots were not made by fertilizer, the application of which, even in inappropriate quantities, would have suggested an attempt at vigilance and care. The new tenants did not care, which was made clear almost as soon as they moved in. [End Page 5] Receipts and wrappers blew over from the Starbucks across the street and collected in the grass for two or three days before someone cleaned them up. Once, Garrett saw a condom wrapper linger for nearly a week, until finally he put on an old winter glove and disposed of it himself. Technically, the lawn wasn’t Garrett’s responsibility. He lived behind the main house, in a low brick duplex with a “½” in the address. He shared a wall with Adam, a gay man about his age who puttered around quietly and ran a small graphic design operation from his living room. Garrett and Adam didn’t get much outdoor space to themselves—each half of the duplex had only a six-by-two-foot patio bedded with river pebbles that crunched underfoot—and so Garrett liked to think that the greenery in front of the main house belonged to all of them. The lawn, the towering avocado tree that bore tiny but edible fruit in the spring, and the neon magenta bougainvillea that shaded the front house’s small side patio. Garrett had moved into the duplex twelve years before the new tenants showed up. It seemed to him back then to be a reasonably priced, not too sad home for a single man in his forties. Only two families had lived in the front house during those dozen years. The first, the Brannons, had brought homemade cupcakes to welcome him to the neighborhood. He watched their daughter, Alice, grow from a guileless child into a strange teenager who talked primarily about Wicca. After Alice went to college, the Brannons moved to Phoenix and the Rodriguez family moved in. Glenna Rodriguez was an OB-GYN, single, with two sons and a niece she’d adopted as a daughter. Garrett and Glenna had an amiable rapport that Garrett had quietly hoped would lead to something romantic, or at least sexual, but it never did. The closest they got was late one Fourth of July, when Garrett, his fears dulled by margaritas, put his arm around Glenna’s waist as they watched the fireworks over Dodger Stadium. He turned his head slowly to gauge her reaction to his touch, only to find that she had no reaction at all. She stared straight ahead, [End Page 6] her thin lips curled into a tight smile as her face went from being bathed in darkness to colorful light to darkness again, over and over. After thirty seconds or so, Garrett realized that Glenna having no reaction was, in fact, a reaction, and he took his arm away. They never discussed the brief flirtation, and Glenna bought a home in Alhambra at the end of the summer. She never said good-bye to Garrett. She didn’t even come over to take back the salad spinner she’d loaned him. Eventually, Garrett started to consider the spinner a monument to his rejection, and he threw it in the trash. After the Rodriguezes moved out, the front house stayed vacant while handymen repainted the walls and executed minor renovations. Garrett used this period to sneak into the home one afternoon, the back door having been left open to air out the paint fumes. The place was sprawling compared to Garrett’s half of the duplex, and its emptiness only exaggerated the size. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a long galley kitchen with Spanish tile, and a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and eighteen-foot ceilings. When Garrett stepped into the...

Industrial and Clean Energy Hydrogen : An Overview

Global warming has several adverse impacts on climate and if not contained, may result in rising of sea level to a dangerous point when millions will be required to be displaced and rehabilitated. It is also responsible for climatic changes. Green house gases are the reason behind global warming. Carcon dioxide is main green house gas which is added due to continuing use of fossil fuels. To obtain carbon neutrality and Decarbonization, need of the hour is clean and carbon free source of energy. Hydrogen has emerged as a clean fuel as it does not contain carbon. But hydrogen does not occur in pure form in nature and eventually it has to be manufactured. Conventionally, it is manufactured from fossil fuels such as natural gas or coal and process is called steam reforming. This also requires source of energy. Use of fossil fuel results in green house gas. Hydrogen can also be produced by electrolysis of water and source of energy can be renewable energy like solar or wind energy. This obviates adding of greenhouse gas and is a clean process. There are several ways of producing hydrogen depending on raw input and source of energy, which quantify to what extent the produced hydrogen is green. Hydrogen offer variety of applications across many segments of industry. It is worthwhile to evaluate all manufacturing processes and applications of Hydrogen and its potential contribution in Decarbonization.

KARAKTERISTIK PERUBAHAN FUNGSI RUANG RUMAH SEDERHANA BERSUBSIDI (STUDI KASUS : PERMUKIMAN BSS 2- MONCONGLOE)

The need for housing is an essential thing in the development of human life, including the provision of accommodation for the lower middle class with subsidized housing. Simultaneous and large number of subsidized housing developments occur in the buffer areas of Makassar City, one of which is Moncongloe District. Changes and additions to the core house occurred in less than five years since it was built. Control of additional space requires supervision from the aspect of the function and health of the occupants. This study aims to determine the characteristics of changes in position and spatial patterns in the post-occupancy period. The study location is in the Bumi Salam Sejahtera (BSS) 2 housing complex in Moncongloe District using a purposively selected sample of houses that have undergone changes. The data from the observations were then analyzed descriptively by comparing with the floor plan of the main house. The results of the study found that changes in location occurred in the bathroom space and the addition of sleeping space, business and drying. Occupants need to pay attention to the factors of good lighting and air circulation in the post-change or addition of space to the house.
