Forgiveness is not a superficial concept. God takes it very seriously, so seriously that He has not given us another option. Obedience to His Word is essential. Why? Principally for our own good. There cannot be intimacy with God and love for others in a heart full of bitterness and lacking forgiveness. However, where there is forgiveness there is freedom, spiritual power, emotional health, and sweet fellowship. Where there is forgiveness, there is a heart that God has touched, and a life He wants to bless.

Brief Synopsis
Since the end of World War II, there have been four times as many civil wars as interstate wars. For a small subset of nations civil war is a chronic condition: about half of the civil war nations have had at least two and as many as six conflicts. This book presents an analytical framework that has been used to identify a set of factors that make civil war more or less likely to recur in a nation where a civil war has recently terminated. The outcome of the previous civil war--whether it ended in a government victory, a rebel victory or a negotiated settlement--as well as the duration and deadliness of the conflict affect the durability of the peace after civil war. The introduction of peacekeeping forces, investment in economic development and reconstruction, and the establishment of democratic political institutions tailored to the configuration of ethnic and religious cleavages in the society also affect the durability of peace after civil war. The book closes by applying these propositions in an analysis of the civil war in Iraq: what can be done to bring the Iraq conflict to an earlier, less destructive, and more stable conclusion?

Impact of Urbanization on the Livelihood of Farming Communities of Lubhoo Settlements the Case of Luboo VDC, Nepai
Karki, Madhura, Contributions to Nepalese Studies
Background to the Study
Lubhu, located in the eastern part of Lalitpur district of Kathmandu valley, holds a unique history in relation to its culture and economy. Many interesting stories prevail about Lubhoo regarding its nomenclature. The Newari word Lu means golden and Bhu means plate. It is connected with Lubhu's fertile land. Lubhu covers an area of 7.45 sq. kin. with 7000 estimated population. The major occupation is agriculture followed by other non-agricultural activities. Once renowned for agriculture and textile industry, Lubhu is undergoing a rapid transformation induced by urban intrusion. Increasing urban use of land is resulting in sharp decline in arable land in Lubhu Village Development Committee (VDC).
Following the establishment of brick factory in 1988 on the arable hinterland and fringe area of Lubhu VDC, lives of farming communities of ward number 6 and 9 have been highly affected. Albeit brick factory had occupied mere 30 ropanies of land area for its manufacturing purpose, excavation of soil from nearby and adjacent agricultural land taken in lease has caused these lands unsuitable for agricultural purpose. Certainly, the landowning households have adopted new livelihood strategies after selling their lands or giving in lease to the brick factory owner. On the other hand, steady expansion of land plotting for housing purpose following the change of location of brick factory, farming communities of ward 6 and 9 have come across changes in their livelihood patterns.
The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between the process of urbanization and its impact on livelihood among the people living in Lubhu VDC of Lalitpur district, Nepal. It is based on a pilot survey conducted in an area of 100+ ropanis occupied by Yeti Brick Factory earlier, and now by private planning which includes wards of Tikathali 6 and Lubhu 9 within a period of thirty years. This paper has aimed at elucidating changes in the livelihood of Lubhu farmers brought about by urban infringement. It is concentrated upon ward number 6 and 9 of Lubhu VDC, facing three phases of urbanization within a period of thirty years.
The first section of the paper deals with the background to the study, research problem, conceptual framework and the objectives of the study. The second section of the paper deals with the research site and methodology. The third section of the paper focuses upon case studies and findings. Final section of the paper deals with over all findings, conclusions and recommendations.
Land Situation in Lubhoo
Before the brick factory was established, one could see the green farms producing regular agriculture like paddy, wheat and maize.
When brick factory was in existence the 100+ ropanis land was in industrial use providing services for locals and migrants.
After the brick factory was closed, the land brokers started planning and plotting of those lands previously occupied by the factory. It was sold to the migrants (mostly) but remained idle without any constructions. According to local farmers, these lands are unproductive and it was better earlier at least because the factory was providing jobs to both locals and migrants.
Research Problem
Along with the sharp decline in arable land and increase in urban land-use, Labhu's social constancy is subject to severe threat.
This paper also attempts to identify the affinity between urban agriculture and its influence over the livelihood of the area. Hereby, the research paper entails sociological enquiry on how livelihood changes along with the process of urbanization. As a whole, this paper incorporates certain issues related with Lubhu settlement.
Research Question
Can urban farming done in the area be continued and still be a part of livelihood improvement of the farmers living in Lubhu which now falls under the purview of rapid conversion of agriculture land? …

7 years on, Waterbury Center man is still missing
WAITSFIELD Seven years after the disappearance of a Waterbury Center man, law enforcement is renewing its call for help from the public in solving the mystery.
Donald Messier, who was 34 when he went missing, was last seen at a party in Waitsfield on Oct. 15, 2006. Messier reportedly left the party in his red Ford F-150 and hasnt been heard from since. His truck has not been located.

As children with ADHD initially present to professionals with problems affecting behavior and learning, a comprehensive assessment is necessary to confirm a diagnosis according to criteria previously outlined. It is also necessary in order to exclude other conditions and to determine whether co-morbid conditions exist. This assessment also provides the basis for the formulation of appropriate management strategies for presenting problems and conditions which underlie them. Thus, a careful history of the individual case is required, followed by relevant examinations, reports and additional investigations if indicated by findings from the initial assessment.
Multiple sources of information on duration of symptoms as well as assessment in multiple settings, such as school, home and clinic, increase the accuracy and validity of assessments and are necessary if diagnoses are to meet the criteria set down in DSM-IV. Rating scales assist in obtaining systematic information from different settings and treatment responses. It should be taken into account, however, that there are difficulties in categorizing behavior as either "normal" or "abnormal". Even when rating scales with cutoffs are used, assessments of behavior components are subjective.
The goals of the evaluation process are to establish the child's diagnostic status and to translate assessment data into a potentially successful intervention plan. According to DuPaul (1991) the optimal methodology for addressing both goals of the evaluation process uses an assessment approach which incorporates:
Medical assessment of a child with behavior and learning difficulties should include a full medical history, relevant neurological examinations and family history. The assessment should focus on physical and mental health, and should exclude vision and hearing defects. Observation in the clinical consultation is important but 'clinic hyperactivity does not reflect the pervasiveness of symptoms (Tripp and Luk 1997).
Further assessments may be necessary for selected children. children who appear to have auditory problems require additional comprehensive audiological assessment, including auditory acuity, 'speech-in-noise' discrimination and auditory memory. Psychological assessment is recommended for children who appear to be developmentally intact and/or who exhibit a specific disability in learning. Speech pathology assessment is necessary for children with significant language difficulties, especially in younger children. Occupational therapy assessment is recommended, especially for younger children who have problems with motor function, handwriting and spatial and body awareness difficulties. In addition, physiotherapy assessment may be necessary for some children with gross motor dysfunction, for whom self-esteem and confidence are impaired with resultant negative effects on behavior and learning.
Children with behavior and learning difficulties should have a full assessment of developmental functioning. Assessment should focus on determining delays in development and difficulties with gross or fine motor abilities, visual motor function, auditory short-term memory, receptive and expressive language and attention. Assessment of such skills may identify factors contributing to behavior, and especially learning, difficulties (such as poor fine motor skills causing slow and labored handwriting).
Assessment of visual-perceptual difficulties may indicate problems with letter reversals, copying forms, confusion over spatial relationships and organisation of work. Assessment of sequencing problems may identify difficulties in following instructions, and with the concepts of time and relationships. The assessment of language – expressive, receptive syntactical, semantic and pragmatic ÷ may assist in the understanding of behavior and learning difficulties. Developmental assessment should include assessment of the maturity of the central nervous system (CNS) as evidenced by delayed laterality (tendency in activity to prefer to use one side of the body) or altered control of complex movement.
Although the symptoms of ADHD are commonly observed before the age of six in a child who is later identified as having ADHD, it is often not until the child enters formal schooling that the seriousness of these symptoms is first noted, typically by a teacher.
Children who have ADHD may experience academic functioning problems on several levels. They may fail to learn or they may underachieve in the classroom due to the inattention and impulsivity imposed by their attention deficits. They may be unable to demonstrate what they do know because of difficulties, for example, with taking tests in a group. They may also have learning disabilities in addition to their problem with ADHD.
The assessment of children who have ADHD should encompass a review of school observations and previous testing. These should cover estimates of intellectual capabilities, strengths and weaknesses and measures of academic achievement, including language development.
The problems of intellectual or academic functioning in most children with emotional or behavioral disorders appear to be significant, yet findings in this area are characterized by considerable variability (Forness, Kavale, Guthrie et al 1987). There is some evidence that modes of test presentation, such as timed versus untimed components, may be a critical factor in at least some of this variability (Scruggs and Mastropieri 1986).
Hyperactive children tend to perform less effectively than nonhyperactive children on tests of perceptual-motor functioning, measures of sustained attention (especially in situations in which the stimulus is unpredictable), and measures requiring delay of impulse (Campbell 1976). In these and other situations, hyperactive children tend to respond quicker and make more errors than do nonhyperactive children. Possibly their poorer performance reflects problems of attention and impulse control rather than problems of perceptual-motor control.

Institute Report, April 2008
By Wendy Lovell
Depending on his location, a visitor to Post on April 3 could have mistaken the Virginia Military Institute for the Department of Homeland Security, a medical laboratory, an engineering firm, or the floor of Congress.
From national security issues to West Nile virus and HVAC systems to the war in Iraq, topics of discussion during the sixth annual VMI Undergraduate Research Symposium were both stimulating and reflective of top-of-mind issues faced by U.S. policy-makers, scientists, business leaders and philosophers today.
Funded by a grant from the Jackson-Hope Fund, URS is one of the primary programs developed by the Undergraduate Research Initiative to encourage cadets to learn by conducting scholarly inquiry under the guidance of a faculty mentor. The day-long event featured 120 presentations in the form of posters and papers.
"With record participation, such strong representation across the disciplines and the integration of exciting highlights from ongoing classroom research activities, this year's URS is a sparkling testimony of the Institute's full embrace of undergraduate research," said Brig. Gen. Charles F. Brower IV, deputy superintendent for academics and dean of the faculty. "Cadets working with faculty in open-ended academic inquiry has indeed become a hallmark of a VMI education."
Directed by Lt. Col. Jay Sullivan, associate professor of mechanical engineering, URS included a few additions to this year's program. Seven members of the Lexington Sunrise Rotary Club with professional backgrounds served as URS judges, and presentations of mechanical engineering students' senior design projects were added to the program.
"I received a lot of positive feedback from our external judges regarding the quality of our cadets' research and their presentations," said Sullivan. "They enjoyed being part of URS, as did some of the underclassmen who viewed some of the presentations as part of their regular classes. They likely would not have attended the presentations on their own but were excited by the possibilities of what they will do later in their cadetships."
Cash prizes of $500 were awarded to first-place winners, $300 to second, and $100 to third. The following cadets were honored for their research at the culmination of URS:
In the liberal arts oral presentation category, cadets Amanda Moore, "The Relationship between Body Image and Physical Fitness," and B.F. Kimsey, "Dangerous Driving Following War Zone Deployment," tied for first place. Cadet Phillip Wilkerson for "The Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Threat" took second, and Cadet Phillip McCloskey with "Chemical Weapons Interdiction: Modern Challenges to American Foreign Policy," third.
In the liberal arts poster category, Cadet S.J. Berkowitz placed first with "The Internet: The Changing Face of Terrorism"; Cadet N.G. Kozikowski, second for "Musicianship and Achievement"; and cadets C.W. Parsons, J.C. Ford, and D.B. Curry for "Discordance Among Self-Reported Observed and Cardiovascular Responses to Mental Arithmetic," third.
In the science oral presentation category, Cadet Randall Life placed first with "The Bluing of Hydrangea: From Roots to Sepals"; Cadet J.C. Brown, second for "The Effects of Estrogen on the Regeneration of the Central Nervous System in Teleost Fish"; and Cadet Julian Sculley, third for "Metal-Flavonolate Complexes for Network Formation."
In the science poster category, Cadet D.C. Trask, "The High Price of Feeling Low," and Cadet H.A. Giaccolone, "Degradation of Francisella novicida After Paramecium Infection," tied for first; Cadet A.M. Aloisio, "Ghrelin and Cardiovascular Fitness," and Cadet M.J. Werle, "King of Battle: Geometric Overlap and Its Artillery Applications," tied for second; and Cadet C.L. Zurcher, "The Role of Estrogen on Melanophore Formation in Zebrafish," and Cadet B.M. Carpenter, "Assessing Trace Element Variation in Otolith Chemistry of the Smallmouth Bass for Determining Natal Origins," tied for third.
In the engineering oral presentation category, cadets L.M. Larson and J.M. Sollock placed first with "Pod Analysis for Dynamic Aviation," Cadet J.D. Moran placed second for "Engineering Evaluation of Using Biodiesel Glycerol Waste as an Alternate Carbon Source for Denitrification" and cadets J.H. Duke, T.M. Hichak, M.B. Mitchell, F.R. Muntean, W.M. Russo, Safy El-Din, Z.J. West and P.A. Childrey placed third for their mini Baja car.

Suffering - God's Instrument for Growth (11 of 15) by Rick Ferguson
This content is part of a series.Suffering - God's Instrument for Growth (11 of 15)
Series: Growing Closer and Going Deeper with God
Rick E. Ferguson
Philippians 3:7-11
Series Verse: BUT GROW IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST (2 PETER 3:18).
Question: Have you noticed that our greatest spiritual lessons are learned through episodes of pain, suffering, and adversity?
Question: Have you noticed that real spiritual growth and character development does not happen during times of prosperity and comfort? They occur rather during times of intense pain and suffering.
Ex: If I could go back and chart the greatest episodes of growth and spiritual depth in my life, they ALWAYS occurred during times of adversity and pain I mean without exception.
This is why I must deal with the issue of suffering in this sermon series entitled ''Growing Closer and Going Deeper With God.'' None of us will ever truly grow closer or go deeper with God apart from pain. Today's message deals with ''Suffering: God's Instrument For Growth.''
The fact of the matter is, grass grows thicker and greener in the valley than it does on the mountaintop. And so it is with us. We grow more in character and spirituality in the valleys of life, than we do on the mountaintops of life.
That's just the way it is: - Just as fire purifies gold. - Just as abrasion polishes metal. - Just as heat strengthens and tempers steel. - Just as boiling water brings out the flavor of tea.
We, too, must enter times of adversity, fire, pain and suffering if we are going to ever be fully refined in our character, and drawn to a deep abiding relationship with Christ, apart from the brokenness and pain, that comes through suffering and adversity.
Suffering Truly is God's Instrument for Growth.
Job said in Job 23:10, ''when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.''
David said in Ps. 66:10-12, ''For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. (11) You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. (12) You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.''
God to Isaiah in Isa. 48:10, ''See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.''
Peter said in 1 Peter 1:6-7, ''In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. (7) These have come so that your faith of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.''
James said in James 1:2-4, ''Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, (3) because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. (4) Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.''
Here's what I want to do today. I want to give you a word of hope and security and encour ...

Peter Greenaway Takes On Morality, Genitalia, and The Thirty Years War
Brandon Judell
(indieWIRE/5.26.2000) --If you have trouble following a Kevin Smith caper, by all means drive full speed away from a Peter Greenaway offering. This most intelligent of directors readily creates features that entwine the more complex elements of mathematics, science, architecture, psychology, philsophy, film history, art and especially the metaphysical. Luckily, he also relishes with great glee sex and romance. Otherwise, his audiences would be totally comprised of Film Forum subscribers, film festival cognoscenti, and aging deconstructionists.
His latest effort, "8 1/2 Women" (Lions Gate Films) besides being a
deliciously immoral tribute to the Fellini classic "8-1/2," is an often
hilarious study of men's sexual fantasies about women. The father/son
protagonists here soon learn that wealth, whiteness, and the penis only
wield so much power, and the power game can be surprisingly turned against them with unexpected results.
indieWIRE caught up with the director of "Darwin" (1993), "M is for Man Music," "Mozart" (1991), "Drowning by Numbers" (1988), and "The Belly of an Architect" (1987) at the Paramount Hotel coffee shop in New York City.
indieWIRE: Your films deal a lot with "what is life?" especially in "A Zed and Two Naughts" (1985) with its whole obsession with decay. Nowadays, in such a film as "American Psycho" and the novels of Dennis Cooper, people are being sliced open in search of their souls.

Peter Greenaway: Well, you're obviously primed to ask exactly the right questions. I made a trilogy of films of which the third part is incomplete, and it was about the self-same subject. The trilogy of films was "Prospero's Books" (1991) about the uses and abuses of wisdom, the "Baby of Macon" (1993) which is about uses and abuses of religion, then there was a film which is basically about necrophilia and was about searching the soul.
It is interesting in European history how the soul has traveled from the belly where it used to be with the Romans up to the heart where it was with the Christians to up here in the sort of I suppose the 19th century post-ancien r

They first appeared in Kirby's Dreamland and are most notable for being powerless most of the time. They usually stay out of Kirbys way and don't grant any unique powers when consumed. There are a few alternate versions of Waddle Dees including: Parasol Waddle Dees, Fluff Waddle Dees, and Spear Waddle Dees.

Scandal's Katie Lowes on marriage, plus news from HollywoodBy Gerri Miller

It Happens In the Best of Families
There's an uproar in Israel because a son of Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu is dating a Norwegian woman who is not Jewish. Daniel Treiman at JTA reports that some religious Knesset members are voicing dismay at the "big problem" of the son of the Prime Minister possibly intermarrying.
Almost every public statement that comes out of Israel about intermarriage equates it with assimilation and loss of Jewish identity and engagement. They just don't get that many interfaith families are engaging in Jewish life.
It would behoove Jewish leaders to extend an embracing welcome to prominent couples who intermarry. We live in a culture crazed with celebrity – if celebrity interfaith couples engage Jewishly, that may increase the interest of others. That's why we urged Jewish leaders to extend a big mazel tov to Chelsea Clinton a few years ago.
Speaking of mazel tov, Liel Liebovitz had it right in Tablet:

Creating a sequence
Creating a sequence
Use the Sequencer tool to assign sequence numbers to parts. If you want to view and modify the sequence number afterwards, you must first create a user-defined attribute to which you assign sequence numbers.
To create a new sequence:
- Create a user-defined attribute to which you assign sequence numbers.
- Open the objects.inp file in any standard text editor.
- In the Part attributes section, add a new user-defined attribute.
The value_type must be integer, and the field_format must be %d.
For example:
attribute("MY_INFO_1", "My Info 1", integer, "%d", no, none, "0.0", "0.0")
- Save the file.
- Restart Tekla Structures.
- Click Tools > Sequencer to display the Sequencer Properties dialog box.
- Type a name for the sequence. Use exactly the same name as in the objects.inp file.
For example, MY_INFO_1.
- Click Apply.
- Select the parts you want to include in the sequence.
The first part gets the sequence number 1, the second part number 2, and so on.
If you select a part that has already been included in the sequence, Tekla Structures asks if you want to override the existing number. If you click Yes, Tekla Structures gives the next available number to the part.
- To finish adding parts to the sequence, click Edit > Interrupt or press Esc.

The Next Big Thing in Consumer Electronics
Each summer and winter, CEA takes stock of the consumer electronics industry via its forecasts. We typically offer the same disclaimer: there are no magic powers at our disposal, but our unique methodology provides us with an effective way to make confident predictions about the future.
In fairness, no one has needed a crystal ball in recent years to ascertain what has been happening in consumer electronics. The one-two punch of smartphones and tablets has been the industry story.
While overall CE sales continue to grow, with total 2012 revenues in excess of $200 billion (a 4.7 percent increase year-over-year),this momentum is largely being driven by the categories producing mobile and connected products. More than 80 million tablets shipped last year, generating $30.8 billion, a 93 percent increase over 2011. Smartphones also showed no signs of stagnation, moving over 111 million units and generating $33 billion, a 21 percent year-over-year increase.
Even as we celebrate the success of these devices, we must acknowledge that as certain sectors flourish, it's often at the expense of mature product categories. For example, we see the ongoing effects mobile devices (especially smartphones) have had on the camcorder and digital camera markets. As we grow accustomed to high-functioning products that perform multiple tasks, we reach an inflection point where new adoption in one arearesults in attrition elsewhere.
At the same time, innovation always has been the lifeblood of the CE industry. Even within categories that have attained substantial household penetration, new applications and functionality help keep familiar products fresh. Whether it's Blu-ray players perfecting streaming capabilities or audio receivers integrating MP3 accessibility, shrewd manufacturers havestudied present trends to ensure they have a future. Even digital displays, the products that dominated the last decade, continue to advance, with larger screen sizes, smart applications and the integration of LED technology.

Well, if 100mi is a century, I figure 10 is a decade.
Mrs. Zoxe and I just got back from our first 11mi ride. The previous personal best was an 8.5mi ride last weekend.
Now, I know a lot of clydes ride more than 11mi one way to work each morning, but we've only been at it since late July and agreed early on to be a little conservative with how fast we added mileage.
This morning we left our subdivision and headed south towards a swanky golf course / country club gated community with a public bike path around the outside of it. It's nicely landscaped and at times we are pedaling between multi-million dollar homes. Makes us feel humble. But the golf course is beautiful at 7:30am, and the traffic on the roads to/from the course is pretty light. This is the same loop we did last weekend -- except we added a few miles to the end and went down a country road between corn and soybean fields before returning to our subdivision. Sorry no pics, but it was a nice quiet ride.
With all the touring talk, I just had to brag a little bit.

Summary on Grant Application Form
We intend to establish a UK National strategic coordinated research and training initiative centred on issues in the science and engineering of Large-Scale Complex IT Systems (LSCITS: pronounced else-its). We propose the creation of a coordinated national network of researchers in industry and academia with the skills and knowledge appropriate to dealing with the problems of designing, managing, and main-taining current and future LSCITS across their life-cycles. Pursu-ng research that addresses these problems, and training the researchers who will undertake that research or apply its findings in practice, are two major strategic needs at the national level. The proposed Initiative's programme of work is intended to last for five years, but it is our intent that this be viewed as a period of pump-priming ramp-up , establishing at steady-state a well-coordinated community of interacting researchers, self-sustaining by generating ongoing financial support from public funds and from industrial sponsorship and collaborations. Thus we include here a discussion of our plans for continuing the Initiative beyond its fifth year. Total funds requested from EPSRC are approx 9.6m, of which 4m is dedicated to establishing and running an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) training programme, and 5.6m is dedicated to funding a coordinated set of research work-packages. Both the EngD and the research programme are intended to be conducted with close involvement from industry. The EngD proposal will be submitted separately, once the outcome of this application for 5.6m funding of the research programme is known.Our proposal marks the formation of a new partnership between leading academics from five UK universities, who each have significant histories of research and education leadership in complementary aspects of the science and engineering of LSCITS. Additionally, all five of the authors of this proposal have very strong links into relevant companies across several major sectors of UK industry. Companies who have indicated an intent to be-come involved in significant ways at this stage include Accenture, BAE Systems, BT, DSTL, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Praxis, Qinetiq, and Rolls-Royce. Our Case For Support document presents a broad picture of our proposal and sets out what we plan to achieve. It should be read in conjunction with its extensive appendices which provide inter alia a significantly more detailed discussion of the background, research work-plan, EngD, exploitation/IPR strategies, and community-building activities.Our overall approach can be characterised as follows. The complexity that is inherent in large-scale systems stems from a variety of causes. These systems are often designed to address so-called 'wicked problems' which, by their very nature cannot be completely defined: they have to meet the (rapidly changing) needs of diverse stakeholders; they must integrate with a range of other legacy systems, processes and policies; they may be critical systems that have to deliver both a high level of performance and dependability; and they are profoundly affected by political influences in the organisations developing and procuring the system, and in the broader system's environment. While it would be simplistic to suggest that we can address all of the problems, we believe that we can make significant progress by altering our perspective on the engineering of large-scale complex IT systems. Rather than considering this to be a problem of specifying, developing, deploying and operating a large-scale system, , we believe that we should look at the problem as being a system of systems problem. By examining the relationships between the different systems that make up and interact with each other, and the systems involved in procuring, deploying and operating software, we believe that we can make headway in tackling the issue of complexity.

A five-year multi-university Initiative to establish a community of practice, and build capacity within the UK science-base, in the science and engineering of ultra-large scale IT systems, typically involving thousands of interacting computers and people.
The LSCITS Initiative ran from 2007-2013, and involved leading academics, postdoctoral researchers, and doctoral students at the universities of Bristol, Leeds, Oxford, St Andrews, and York. As would be expected for such a large and long-lived project, the LSCITS Initiative has had impact in a variety of ways. Its academic impact can be judged by the fact that, to date, LSCITS-funded research has resulted in over 200 peer-reviewed academic publications, with more to follow, several of which are already frequently cited. The Initiative ran a successful series of public symposia and invitation-only workshops which were well attended by leading industrial practitioners and by internationally-leading academics external to the Initiative; in this way, it helped to provide thought-leadership and to shape professional practice in the design, development, and management of large-scale complex IT systems. A particularly fruitful international collaboration was established between the Initiative and the USA's Ultra-Large Scale Systems project led by the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University (the world's premier institute for software systems engineering). Political/policy impact was achieved by working with the UK Government's Home Office on a study of their internal IT systems issues, and also with the UK Government Office for Science's "Foresight" unit on a two-year study exploring the future of computer trading in the global financial markets, a project proposed by the Initiative's Director in which significant effort was spent on engaging with the drafting process for the EU's second Markets In Financial Instruments Directive, which when enacted will determine rules and regulations for financial-market trading across all European member states. Economic impact was achieved by the successful commercialization of research conducted at St Andrews into a start-up company, which was then rapidly acquired by a leading US cloud-computing company.
