The Handover Book
A unique and simple communication book for separated families. Children can find conflict between their separated parents to be very distressing. That's why we have designed this handover book so that the likelihood of disagreements between parents, now that they are not living together any more, will be much less likely. It will allow them both to always be aware of what is happening in their children's busy lives as they go from one household to another. It's a way of communicating the important things they both need to know about their children, while keeping your relationship as parents friendly and calm.
Farmers’ grain storage and losses in Ethiopia: Measures and associates
Storage losses at the farm are often assumed to be an important contributor to presumed large postharvest losses in developing countries. However, reliable and representative data on these losses are often lacking. We study farmers’ storage decisions and self-reported storage losses for grain based on two recent large-scale household surveys conducted in major agricultural areas in Ethiopia. We show that a relatively large share of grain production is stored by farm households themselves, mainly for own consumption, and that storage technologies are rudimentary. We find that farmers’ self-reported storage losses amount to an average of 4 percent of all grain stored and 2 percent of the total harvest. These storage losses are shown to differ significantly by socio-economic variables and wealth, but also by crop and humidity. We further see strong spatial heterogeneity in storage losses, being significantly higher in the southwestern part of the country. Efforts to scale up the adoption of improved storage technologies to reduce storage losses at the farm level should take into consideration these characteristics.
Arup Associates
A major presence on the architectural scene for more than half a century, Arup Associates emerged from Ove Arup's famous engineering consultancy in the mid-twentieth century as a reflection of Arup's vision of "total design." With its architects, engineers, and other professionals working collaboratively, Arup Associates offered a uniquely interdisciplinary approach to the design of buildings.The first monograph on Arup Associates in more than thirty years, this book examines the work of the firm from the 1950s to the 1990s, assessing the contributions of its leading designers-including Sir Philip Dowson, Derek Sugden, and Peter Foggo-and revisiting some of the company's most groundbreaking designs, from the Snape Maltings concert hall to its projects at Finsbury Avenue and Broadgate. Informed by interviews with many former and current members of the practice, this beautifully illustrated book offers a new perspective on an exceptional body of architectural design. (ed.).
