The document discusses the planned regeneration of Earl's Court in London and its potential effects on the local residential property market. Large-scale investments are being made in place-making, transportation, schools, healthcare and green space as part of the redevelopment. Case studies of other regeneration projects, such as Kings Cross, show they have led to significant growth in residential prices and created new destinations. The regeneration at Earl's Court is expected to increase property values moving from east to west and change the area into a prime London neighborhood with higher quality housing stock.

Documenting Sexual and Reproductive Health Best Practices in SADCRouzeh Eghtessadi
This document proposes a framework for documenting and sharing best practices in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region. It summarizes findings from a desk review of SRH practices, guidelines, and progress in SADC member states. The review found limited systematic documentation and sharing of SRH best practices. The proposed framework would establish standardized criteria and processes for identifying, documenting, and exchanging SRH best practices to promote their adoption across the region. It outlines recommendations on SRH policies, practices, and a structure for the framework that defines essential criteria and integration into programming.

This document discusses how online comments are challenging traditional science journalism roles and practices. It outlines the historically exclusive and privileged role of science journalists as sole mediators between scientists and the public. However, the rise of social media and participatory journalism through user-generated comments has threatened the gatekeeping role of journalists and enabled more direct interaction with audiences. The document reviews literature identifying emerging roles for science journalists online, including conduit, public intellectual, and curator. It also notes that journalists are divided on the usefulness of online comments, with some embracing interaction and others preferring segregation. The researcher plans to use data from the Guardian's comment API to quantify science journalist-commenter interactions and develop a typology of science commenters.

This document summarizes Nigel Cross's research program investigating "designerly ways of knowing" over many years. Some key points:
1) Cross argues that design research must understand the epistemology, practices, and artifacts of design to establish it as a unique discipline.
2) Studies of design cognition show designers have abilities to resolve ill-defined problems, use solution-focused strategies, employ abductive thinking, and use modeling tools. These abilities vary but are universal human capacities.
3) Creative cognition in design involves "bridging" between problem and solution spaces, seen in a case study of a creative leap. Interviews with expert designers show strategic thinking at different knowledge levels.

The Write & Invite Program aims to encourage Irish consumers to write invitation letters to overseas friends and family to visit Ireland. A competition will be held to select the best 10 letters, which will then be used as templates on Facebook and in email campaigns. The core component is a Facebook app that allows users to customize a letter, select recipients from their Facebook friends or email contacts, and will track the number of letters sent. The goals are to tap into national pride, leverage word-of-mouth, and increase tourism through low-cost virtual ambassadorship on Facebook. Success will be measured by the number of letters generated on Facebook and through email campaigns to an existing consumer database.
Network infrastructure has traditionally posed barriers to cloud computing goals of flexibility, efficiency and scale. Specifically, network configurations are rigid and manually configured, providing no support for dynamic VM placement or IP mobility. This limits server utilization rates in clouds. Moving networking functions to the hypervisor level and using network virtualization allows for more flexible VM placement, higher server utilization, and improved scalability - meeting the key expectations of cloud computing. CloudStack integrates with network virtualization solutions like Nicira NVP to provide an automated network infrastructure that removes barriers posed by traditional network approaches.

The Cobre Panama project is a large-scale copper mining project located in Panama that will become one of the country's largest exporters. It will have an estimated annual production of 266,000 tons of copper and employ over 2,100 workers during operations. The project involves the construction of open pits, a processing plant, power plant, port, and other infrastructure at an estimated cost of $6.2 billion. The mine aims to meet or exceed strict environmental and social standards to operate responsibly and provide benefits to Panama such as thousands of jobs, billions in tax revenue, and sustainable development.
