Ian Taylor is Professor in International Relations and African Political Economy at St Andrews and also Chair Professor in the School of International Studies, Renmin University of China - the highest rank a non-Chinese academic can hold at a Chinese university.
He is also Professor Extraordinary in Political Science at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, an Honorary Professor at the Institute of African Studies, China, a Visiting Scholar at Mbarara University of Science and Technology, Uganda and a Professor in the Brazilian Centre of African Studies, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brazil.
He has held visiting professorships at the School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg, Sweden and was the Lee Hysan Visiting Professor, Centre for China Studies, Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Focusing largely on sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) he has authored 8 academic books, edited another 11 and has published over 70 peer-reviewed scholarly articles, over 70 chapters in books and numerous working papers, reports, op-eds, review articles, encyclopedia entries, book reviews etc. He has been invited to present his research in 46 countries on 6 continents. He has been described as "one of the most authoratative academics on SSA IR" (Cambridge Review of International Affairs, vol. 25, no 1, 2012, p. 171).
He holds a DPhil from the University of Stellenbosch and an MPhil from the University of Hong Kong. He also holds a teaching certificate from the International Language Institute, Cairo, Egypt, where he taught Ethiopian, Somali and Sudanese refugees, and a Certificate in Theology from the Highland Theological College, University of the Highlands and Islands, Scotland.
Prior to joining St Andrews in 2004 he taught African politics and history and various IR and Development subjects for four years at the University of Botswana.
Before entering academia, he worked for the UNHCR, based in Hong Kong, on the Vietnamese "Boat People" issue.
Other than at St Andrews and Botswana, Taylor has also taught courses at Ben-Gurion University (Israel); Dalhousie University (Canada); the University of Edinburgh; the University of Hong Kong; Mbarara University of Science and Technology (Uganda); Renmin University of China; the University of Stellenbosch, and Zhejiang Normal University (China).
Outside of St Andrews, he is a Commissioner of the 14-persons Commonwealth Scholarship Commission.

IR3024: The Politics of Africa
IR4516: Africa's International Relations
IR5723: Conflict and Security in Africa
IR5114: African Political Thought
IR5727: Civil War, Genocide and Transformation in Rwanda
He also contributes to: Regional Security; Theoretical Approaches to IR; and Introduction to International Relations.
He is interested in sub-Saharan Africa's political economy and its international relations, the history of Afro-Asian diplomacy, emerging South-South relations and the notion of "rising powers" (e.g. the BRICS) and the implications for global governance and development (and for Africa specifically). From this he is developing a research interest in the role of India in Africa.
He has also studied China's relations and its diplomacy with Africa, producing a large body of work on this topic, conducted since 1994 and based on extensive fieldwork across Africa and in China, as well as Chinese historical sources.
He also has an abiding interest in critical theory, particularly neo-Gramscian theory, and in the political thought of the great African intellectuals such as Cabral, Biko, Nkrumah, Nyerere, Fanon etc.
His most recent books are on Africa's international relations (2010), one on the history of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, which was published in 2011 and a book analysing the implications of the BRICS' involvement in SSA in the context of the whole "Africa Rising" discourse, entitled Africa Rising? BRICS - Diversifying Dependency, published in late 2014.
He is currently finishing a book manuscript entitled "Emerging Powers", Global Governance and Transnational Capitalist Hegemony on how the "emerging powers" were incorporated into ongoing structures of global governance in the post-2008 period of economic crisis, thereby strengthening neo-liberal capitalist hegemony.
He is also currently editing two books. The first is with colleagues from Russia and South Africa on the role of emerging powers in Africa; the second is with Israeli colleagues from the Tamar Golan Africa Centre on Israel's relations with South Sudan.
He has also published a substantial body of work on post-apartheid South Africa's political economy and its diplomacy. His studies in this field were recently described as "represent[ing] probably the most articulate and theoretically self-conscious attempt to come to grips with the contradictions in South Africa's foreign policy" (European Journal of Development Research, vol. 24, no. 2, 2012, p. 286.
Furthermore, he has been a leading exponent of the application and adapation of the New Regionalism Theory to the critical study of trans-border processes in Africa, with numerous publications in this field.
He has conducted fieldwork/research in Botswana, Cameroon, Cape Verde, China, D.R. Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, The Gambia, Ghana, India, Lesotho, Liberia, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somaliland, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, United States of America, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The holidays are upon us, and this year Audible is very happy to present to our members one of Charles Dickens' most popular Christmas stories, The Cricket on the Hearth. This holiday classic (original subtitle: "A Fairy Tale of Home") tells the innocent, picturesque, and charming story of a poor family and their would-be guardian angel; in short, a delightful vision of Victorian Christmas. As always, a great story calls for a great voice, so we've brought in legendary actor and record-breaking Audie and Grammy award-winning narrator Jim Dale (The Night Circus). Happy holidays and happy listening!
Public Domain (P)2013 Audible Inc.
"One of the best stories about Men and Women ..."
I had not heard of this story until this week. It is part of a series of Christmas stories told by Charles Dickens that includes A Christmas Carol. It is very well read by Jim Dale, of lasting Harry Potter fame.
The Cricket on the Hearth is very moving and quite touching.
Some women of the modern era wonder how their counterparts of earlier days were able to be "traditional" housewives looking after hearth and home. I believe this story provides some great insight into the relationships of wives and husbands that is worth attending to, if only for the understanding.
"Delightful Victorian Story of Contageous Goodness"
I prefer the audio edition because of the power of the spoken word to draw the listener into the story. Jim Dale captures the tone and accents of people who lived in Englans around Dickens' time the way a reader could hardly imagine.
Charles Dickens gives us glimpses of Victorian England filled with vivid, compelling characters. He mixes in humor, misfortune, fairies, a little mystery and a big surprise.
I loved the character of the carrier, John Peerybingle, whose heart was so full of love.
I laughed and even she'd a few tears.
I would like to thank the people at Audible for such a lovely Christmas gift.
Indiscriminate Reader
"Nice Dickensian Christmas story"
This was a free download from Audible, and who can pass up a free Dickens?
One of Dickens' Christmas stories, this one features a series of misunderstanding and coincidences in typical Dickens fashion.
A Scrooge-like toymaker named Tackleton is engaged to marry a much younger woman, who clearly does not love him, but needs the financial security he offers. Meanwhile, the lovely Dot is also married to a much older man, but alas, events transpire to lead poor Mr. Peerybingle to believe his beloved Dot is secretly meeting with a gallant younger man. Lastly, there is Blind Bertha, the daughter of impoverished Caleb Plumber, who has conspired to conceal from his blind daughter their true circumstances.
These three couples, whose lives are intertwined, are each the beneficiaries of a cricket on a hearth, who conjures household spirits symbolic of all that is good in their lives, and the miseries each endures are overcome in the end.
A heartwarming little tale, though not one of Dickens' best. I didn't delight in any marvelous Dickensian turns of phrases as I have in so many of his other stories, nor were the characters particularly memorable. But it's certainly a nice tale to listen to by a crackling fire. (Or in my case, while raking leaves.)
"Thank you!"
Thank you for the wonderful gift Audible! I love being a member!! Jim Dale is AMAZING. If you had him read the phone book, I would pay a lot of money to download it. I appreciate that it was said, "Performed by Jim Dale." He doesn't just read the story, each time he reads, it's a masterful performance!
Dickens+Jim Dale=A Very Merry Christmas for me. Thank you again!
"Charming Dickens Story"
I love Dickens amazing use of language.
When the stranger's identity is revealed is one of the most memorable moments.
Jim Dale is one of my favorite performers. He puts such energy and passion into his performances. His voices are perfect for each character and even the inanimate objects.
Love and friendship conquer all.
I recommend this to everyone. For Dickens fans, it is a must listen.
Willy Wonka of it
"Slow starter and hard to follow, but good tale"
This was a free Audiobook and that fact (plus the awesome narration by Jim Dale) kept me listening. The book is written in a bit of an older style of English, so that and the meandering nature of the story makes it a bit hard to follow (especially in the beginning).
I'm glad I kept with it though, as once things got rolling and the REAL meat of the story kicked in it proved to be a great tale.
I'm a big Dickens fan, having read just about every work available. I even appreciated the feel and look of the HBO critically acclaimed series "The Wire" - its dark production look and cinematic street level shots were repeatedly referred to as "Dickensian". I know those aspects made that show my favorite show of all time and has been touted by top critics as "the best show in the history of television". As for Dickens, his books and any resulting film versions are always masterpieces. Yet, this one didn't quite get it for me. Maybe I'm too jaded (a cricket and a teapot deep in a convo?) Or not jaded enough (a cricket and a teapot deep in a convo?) 😄. I guess every song in a artist's repertoire doesn't make the charts at "#1 with a Bullet". Criticizing this book would be like calling a Michael Jackson album a dud because it only sold 5 million copies instead of its predecessor's 10 million units. The narrator is in his usual great form which goes a long way towards helping out this story. But the book was FREE so maybe I should just count my blessings. A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODY! A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THE WORLD! 🎄🎍🎁🎉🎅
"Weird Little Story"
I love Dickens, and I love a bargain, so when Audible offered me a Jim Dale reading of this story free as a Christmas thank you, I jumped at it . . . Perfect listening for the week before C'mas vacation, thought I.
Well. It's one weird little story. It opens with a long "conversation" between the cricket on the hearth and the tea kettle. Honest. Then we meet the family who lives in the house: little Dot (whose real name is Mary) ad her (in modern eyes, creepily) older husband. . . . and, luckily, Tilly Slowboy the mentally deficient housemaid and the baby, about both of whom we get some great Dickens humor to leaven the schmaltz that drips from this little offering. There is an evil(ish) toy manufacturer, a saintly father, an angelic blind girl, a nearly undeveloped fiancee, a missing brother. . . lots of spirits of family and goodness and the like. Still, towards the ends Dickens manages to wring the old heartstrings, as he usually does, but I did miss the wry humor and control of his best writing (Great Expectations; Nicholas Nickleby; Christmas Carol). Not a good introduction to his work, but it was interesting to hear anyway.
Jim Dale did a nice job with the reading, and I am grateful for the gift, I should add.
Semper Audiendo
"Charming Listen"
Who hasn't heard of Charles Dickens (1812-1870)? Who hasn't read or seen an adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" (1843), "Oliver Twist" (1837), or "David Copperfield" (1849)? Sometimes it seems that half of the Disney empire is built on Dickens.
"The Cricket on the Hearth" (1845) is a lesser known Christmas novella. The Cricket is the guardian angel of John Peerybingle and his much-younger wife, Dot and their young son; and their friends and neighbors. Tackleton, a cranky old toy maker disrupts the sweet working class life of the Peerybingles - but perhaps not intentionally. The story was new to me, and I liked not knowing the ending. I liked the listen on the drive to and from Mom's house I for Christmas dinner.
Jim Dale was a good pick for the unnamed narrator. Who was the narrator? Some say Dickens meant it to be the Peerybingle's son, or neighbor blind Bertha Plummer. I like to think it was the Cricket.
[If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!]
"Dickens ...bah humbug"
I always find Dickens tedious and this story was no different though there is a nice twist towards the end.

If you want to get a jump on the June downloads, I posted them to Hotfile again...remember, you have to space out your downloads.
April 23, 2012 at 5:24pm
Really?? No more poster?? And I just sent an e-mail recently saying that you guys are doing a good job and applauding your magazine. After taking away the CD I was okay with having to go online to see the videos. I get it, its the digital age. You added the poster and I thought it was great cuz I like to see the famous peoples guitars and have been framing them and putting them up in my music room. Now you are taking those away too?? I mean really how much more can it cost to include the poster?? Come on...hell I'd even pay the extra couple cents that it would cost. Very unhappy about this. Overall I'm happy with the rest of the magazine. Please go back to including the posters with famous guitars. Pretty please with a cherry on top. Thanks
April 24, 2012 at 10:10am
If I told you how much it actually cost to keep the poster in every issue, you'd be pretty surprised...but we're not ending the poster outright. It'll come and go depending on the finances of that issue. There's a poster in the June issue and possibly one in July, but I'm unsure about anything beyond that.
April 23, 2012 at 9:55am
No,I still think GW is a great mag..The blame lies with their parent company "Future Publishing"..Jeff Kitts should be applauded for taking the time, and hosting the files himself.Shows he cares about the readers..At least GW has video available..If you bought let's say "Guitar Techniques" magazine digitally, you are screwed for any downloadable supplements for their lessons, and they are totally indifferent to not offering it.
April 23, 2012 at 1:48pm
For what it's worth, I don't know if "blame" is the right word in these situations. Truth is, everyone is doing their best to survive in a very difficult time...I'm sure you've all noticed things like newsstands and bookstores going out of business all across the country, and you have to appreciate how much that affects a print-publishing operation like Guitar World. While tons of other magazines have had to close their doors over the years, we're still here...and sometimes the only way to get through the lean times is to cut corners or tighten a few belts.
As much as we all want to give our readers the best of everything, everyone needs to understand how costly everything is...sometimes it's financial cost, sometimes it's the cost something has on the staff, etc.
And yes, we've had a few hiccups as we transition to the new parent company (NewBay)...but, aside from the video download issue, for the most part I think we've done a decent job delivering things to our readers and site visitors.
For those who stand by us, thanks for the support! We wouldn't still be here without you guys.
April 22, 2012 at 6:21pm
fucked once again. i will let my subscription expire. there is a lot of guitar content on the internet which i will use. guitar world has become a ripoff.
April 25, 2012 at 5:48am
Really? It's $1 per issue delivered with a subscription.
You don't think with the interviews, lessons, guitar tabs, gear reviews that it's worth $1?
April 21, 2012 at 8:02am
Thanks for the downloads Dude!
April 17, 2012 at 3:09pm
Sorry for all this, guys...it's all just corporate red tape since we were acquired by NewBay Media a few months ago (without getting into it all, our file-hosting operation was tied to Future, so that bit the dust in the acquisition). We're just trying to figure out the best solution...and a lot of our people were out all last week at the Golden Gods awards show in LA, so we weren't able to address it again until this week.
In any event, I've put the files on Hotfile as a temporary solution...you'll have to space out your downloads, and hopefully enough people can download them before the downloads get suspended (it's just a free Hotfile account, not Premium).
Give it a try, hopefully it'll work for most of you. First one is the gear reviews, other two are the lesson.
April 23, 2012 at 9:15am
Thank you for putting these files on hotfile.
I am quick to criticize when things are done poorly so I wanted to take a moment to note when you go out of your way to make your customers happy. It is greatly appreciated.
Any chance we can get the April files on hotfile?
Thanks again.
April 18, 2012 at 9:55pm
April 13, 2012 at 6:34am
What's the big deal deal about putting the videos together for an easy download for us, give me the files and I'll host them. Jesus...
April 11, 2012 at 2:17pm
Everybody on here is upset about the download content being taken away, so what I say and others is please put the CD back in the magazine. I know inflation is making things cost more just charge us a little more like instead of $7.99 make it $9.99. I don't know about others here, but you used to have things on CD on how to play the songs in the back of the magazine to bring it back please. We all know who to blame for the price hike in the next issues the current Presidential administration with gas prices going up and everything else due to it.
April 10, 2012 at 2:24pm
Looks like JeffKitts and the rest of the GW/Future Publishing staff have gone into hiding. I guess that was the only option they had left after smoke screening their subscribers with BS about file hosting problems and such.
So GW lies for a month and then when it is obvious they were lying they just go into hiding and refuse to make a comment on their own forums? What class. No way will I waste one more penny on this magazine. I'll be recommending the same to all my musician friends as well.
Great job Future Publishing. You have ruined yet another guitar magazine and are well on your way to running it into the ground.
April 09, 2012 at 7:38pm
So they castrate the CD's, the downloads, the poster (not to mention Guitar One). Well at least they still have money to pay for models posing with guitars. Cause EVERYONE goes to GuitarWorld for their porn.. I'm glad those folks at Future know how to run a mag.
April 08, 2012 at 9:03pm
Downloads +1 That way I can keep these videos around for years to revisit like I can with the old CD era issues.
April 06, 2012 at 8:43am
I still like to read all the articles but I agree I was perfectly happy with the cd I hate the new format it sucks. Go back to the cd please!!!!!
April 05, 2012 at 11:29pm
I recieved a subscription for my B-Day. I had to just smile and say cool, thanks. I wonder if I can cancel it without her finding out?
April 05, 2012 at 9:35am
Has there been a change in policy? Is GW no longer providing download links for videos? I hope that is not the case. I really like being able to watch the videos without being connected to the internet.
Would someone from GW kindly post an update on the status of the video downloads? An update is not much too much to ask for.
April 05, 2012 at 9:02pm
Apparently it is. We are closing in on two weeks without having heard anything from the "fine folks" at GW and Future Publishing. It is looking like they are setting up to no longer offer DLs and even the links to older DLs are broken.
I certainly hope I am wrong, but we are hearing a whole lot of nothing from GW. I even offered to send in some DVDs to have them burn me some discs (LOL) ... no reply :-( I guess they are cutting costs, again.
April 02, 2012 at 3:30pm
Did anyone else notice a good thing?
The WORTHLESS POSTER is gone from the May Issue.
Now where is the DOWNLOAD link?
Also where are the previous months links?
This is exactly why we need the CD.
April 02, 2012 at 1:30am
The "ONLINE CONTENTS" section has been removed from the MAY 2012 issue. It is not a "file hosting" problem we are facing. That was just a smoke screen.
April 02, 2012 at 8:30pm
I agree. "Online Contents" section gone; poster now gone ( no big loss, but that was supposed to be compensation for the end of the CD); no links for April and May; AND all the links back through July 2011 (when this whole fiasco started) are now broken. The file hosting claim was just a stall tactic. Guitar World and Future Publishing are cutting corners yet again at the expense of their subscribers. With this kind of crap going on I will not be surprised to see GW go the way of many other guitar mags over the past few years. Way to screw up a good thing Future Publishing!
April 03, 2012 at 1:54pm
i agree. Either they put the download links for the video back up or reinstate the CDs or I will not be renewing my subscription.
April 02, 2012 at 9:11pm
I'm with you. I will not renew my subscription. I have been putting up with this crap since when I was a GuitarOne subscriber. GuitarOne went from download to CD and then back to download, and then GuitarOne was dumped by Future US when it was bought out and my subscription automatically switched to GuitarWorld which was CD at the time and I had to pay a fee to "go back to CD", and then it went to download, and now, who knows what will happen next. I am tired of paying for a product when I don't know what form it will be in!
April 02, 2012 at 8:35pm
And with sites like Ultimate-Guitar and programs like Guitar Pro (not to mention ALL the other musical resources on the net), I don't see how GW can pull stunts like this and hope to continue to exist. Unless there are major changes I see no sense in renewing my subscription once it finally expires. They've lost yet another LONG time subscriber in me.
April 02, 2012 at 7:23am
It's time for Jeff to "Grow a pair" and demand this gets fixed or stop spoon feeding us all the file hosting issue crap and tell us the truth of what's going on here! File hosting issues do not take two months to fix unless his hands are being tied by corporate..
April 01, 2012 at 7:39am
Okay where is the download link????
You know this is way past stupid.
Why can't you guys fix this?
Can't you at least give some explanation???
How would you guys like getting this kind of service?
Oh yeah you don't even read this do you!
March 31, 2012 at 5:29pm
sure would have liked to have seen "At The Station" transcribed, since 'Lifes Been Good" has been transcribed before.
March 30, 2012 at 7:44pm
C´mon !!!!! Full downloads please....
March 30, 2012 at 5:02am
Really? No DLs again?!?! Seriously, put up DLs for May (AND April) and please fix the DL links for the issues going back to July of 2011 (when you made the clever decision to axe the CDs).
Please do this, I think we have been very patient. A link to each months "Entire Files" DL would be much appreciated.
Thank You
March 29, 2012 at 9:15pm
^ yeah, but you have to remember that GW is now being run by Future Publishing..The same geniuses that proudly launched digital versions of their other Guitar magazines without nary a sign of the (much relied on) cd in download format..I'm afraid with those clowns from the other side of the pond at the healm, GW will only get worse.
March 29, 2012 at 6:27pm
So again no downloads available?!? I was still looking for the April dloads. The CDs were one of my favorite parts of the issue, but it is such a hassle to watch clicking links, not to mention they disappear after a couple months. This magazine has become such a disappointment. There are so many GOOD people putting the mag together, but it seems that 'Corporate' only makes stupid changes one after another and tries their hardest to piss off existing subscribers.
March 29, 2012 at 5:46pm
While your at it, how about April's full downloads?????????????????
Still Waiting.....
March 29, 2012 at 5:29pm
Full download please....

Home games have their moments. The roar of an appreciative crowd, the comfort of friends close by and staying in the normal day-to-day routine. But the road offers something more.
It's just players and coaches, traveling together, in a more intimate sort of proximity. When the Ball State football team departs from Muncie, left behind are many of the trappings of that routine.

PELL CITY, Ala. (AP) - A Pell City Schools teacher's aide has pleaded guilty to second-degree rape and the distribution of a controlled substance.
Anthony Eugene Tollison changed his pleas from not guilty to guilty before St. Clair County Circuit Court Judge Charles Robinson Tuesday.
Assistant District Attorney Joey Stevens said the 29-year-old school employee had sex with a girl between the ages of 12 and 16 in the Fellowship Hall of Second Baptist Church in Pell City in March 2007.
Stevens said Tollison also sold or gave marijuana to a confidential informant in August 2007.
Robinson sentenced Tollison to five years in prison for each charge with the sentences to run concurrently. He also reinstated Tollison's bond and allowed him to remain free until his Dec. 11 probation hearing.

The most basic problem that might throw away the existence of this scenario is the presence of such a gigantic single-celled organism itself. This could be explained upon the basic relation of body's surface area to volume ratio, which has significant association with the limits or constraints of an organism size.
The ratio decreases as the size of organism increases. This could be understood by the fact that for a particular shape, the area factor depends upon the square of its length/radius/height. While the volume, in fact, is proportional to the cubic value of its unitary determinant (be it length/radius/height). As a result for smaller values of length/radius/height, ratio depends more on surface area, but for larger values of length/radius/height, dependency is shifted to volume as it is cubed.
Therefore, the existence of this gigantic amoeba is not possible as, with every increase in the size of cell. More cytoskeletal materials have to be synthesized and maintained to sustain such a large structure. This structure will tend to have more volume (as we have discussed before), which will force cell to maintain its surface area accordingly in order to prevent rupturing of cell from internal osmotic pressure exerted by its cytosolic fluid. If the area increases, this increase will make cell to have more exposure to the outside environment, which in turn, will cause loss of cellular fluid and consistent loss of its temperature.
To cope up with this condition cell has to put an extra effort to maintain its homeostasis, which will raise the total energy expenditure of the cell. This high requirement of energy for proper functioning will question the single cellularity of that cell itself because it will become impossible for a single cell to accommodate all those machineries, which will be required to generate such a great amount of energy. This will, consecutively, contradict the principle of size based upon its surface to volume ratio.
Even if we consider, this single cell organism will cross the size barrier by changing its size continuously (as amoeba is known for its irregular size) in order to maintain the surface to volume ratio required to accommodate its cellular material. Its existence remain impossible, as every cell has an optimum requirement for energy to perform its housekeeping functions, but when this level of energy barrier is crossed, single cell organism initiates its division process.
Hence, it would be impossible for a regular single cell to reach to such an enormous mass without performing division for once in its life time.

Bubble Bath Day
When: Always January 8th
Bubble baths are so much fun. We wish everyday could be Bubble Bath Day. Today is a fun day to relax an enjoy the warm and soothing pleasures of a bubble bath. Best of all, it can be enjoyed by kids and adults. For kids, it's playtime. For adults, it's soothing pleasure, and perhaps ....playtime.
On Bubble Bath Day, there are a couple of ways to enjoy your bubble bath. It depends upon how old you are.
For kids, it's simple.... Just fill the tub with bubbles and toys. Then hop in and play!
For the ladies, its time to relax! Fill the tub with bubbly water. Hop in and just enjoy the soothing water and bubbles. Before hoping in, set the mood with candles placed (safely) around the bathroom and tub. Add a music, playing softly on the sink counter.
For the guys: Don't feel left out! With permission, you can hop in, too! Get in touch with your feminine side, and make sure the candles are lit. You can relax and/or play. The proper sequence is relax, play, relax. We highly recommend both!
Oh, and don't forget your rubber duckie!
Origin of Bubble Bath Day:
We did not find any information about the origin of Bubble Bath Day. Most likely, it was created by someone who needed to relax after a tough day.

This article is part of the supplement: Second International Symposium on Semantic Mining in Biomedicine (SMBM)
Mapping data elements to terminological resources for integrating biomedical data sources
1 EA 3888, IFR 140, Faculté de Médecine, Université de Rennes I, France
2 National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
BMC Bioinformatics 2006, 7(Suppl 3):S6 doi:10.1186/1471-2105-7-S3-S6Published: 24 November 2006
Data integration is a crucial task in the biomedical domain and integrating data sources is one approach to integrating data. Data elements (DEs) in particular play an important role in data integration. We combine schema- and instance-based approaches to mapping DEs to terminological resources in order to facilitate data sources integration.
We extracted DEs from eleven disparate biomedical sources. We compared these DEs to concepts and/or terms in biomedical controlled vocabularies and to reference DEs. We also exploited DE values to disambiguate underspecified DEs and to identify additional mappings.
82.5% of the 474 DEs studied are mapped to entries of a terminological resource and 74.7% of the whole set can be associated with reference DEs. Only 6.6% of the DEs had values that could be semantically typed.
Our study suggests that the integration of biomedical sources can be achieved automatically with limited precision and largely facilitated by mapping DEs to terminological resources.

I recently had my front and back suspension replaced. The front is now very squeaky. Every bump, every turn. And there is a rattle in the back occasionally. What can this be and what can fix it?

Have it inspected at the shop that did the work. Very often when worn parts are replaced, it sets other movable parts in new positions and a squeak can result. Rattles can be very minor or serious depending on what's causing it. Rear anti-sway bar links are not serious but can make a lot of noise.
