Be sure to check out our unblur plugin:
There are three main ways to get course hero access for free
- Shared accounts
- Extensions and hacks
- Uploading documents
Free shared accounts through donation
Our site accepts donated accounts from students who no longer need them, we also buy old accounts for anywhere from $1-$5 depending on the time remaining. We share our collected course hero accounts as a massive list located in the accounts section.
Our sharing system is unique in that you can access our account and password list for free. The account list is protected by a survey to prevent overuse and lower the risk of account bans. Any proceeds of the survey go to acquiring more old accounts to share and fund the development of more free course hero tools.
Course Hero Extension
This is a different way to get a course hero account and works through a glitch in the download permissions. You can download the extension on our official unblur extension page, complete with a guide on how to get this course hero hack working.
If you instead prefer to get free access for an existing account by uploading documents then read the following section on document uploading hacks.
DIY – Free Course Hero Access
The following is a list of the top three most reliable ways to hack course hero yourself. Keep in mind that these techniques do require a bit of work on your part, but with our tips you will be able to get access to documents within a few hours.
Document Uploading = Free Course Hero
In case you didn't know, you get free access to Course hero for uploading documents. Course hero does this to keep increasing their database size.
You can take advantage of this by going out onto the internet, gathering up a few documents, and sharing them on Course Hero. This is where the fun comes in, theres alot of ways to grab tons of documents at a time and upload them as a batch. Now that i've gotten pretty good using this hack i can upload 100 documents in an hour with 80% approval rating.
Use advanced google search functions to score juicy documents
One amazingly easy way to get documents is to fire up google and use operators.
Type filetype:pdf *subject* and google will only return you pdf documents which you can pick through and upload to course hero for your free access.
For example
filetype:pdf french grammar
filetype:pdf organic chemistry 1101
You instantly have hundreds of high quality documents at you fingertips. Ideally you want to pick through these to find the highest quality docs, which have a lower chance of being rejected.
Cross reference with Course Hero
In order to increase the success of this hack you can use course hero to search for class course numbers that already exist. Then include the course number in your search for tons of documents that will easily pass inspection.
If a document you find in google doesn't have a course number just try to place it in a pre-existing course of a similar difficulty level. Documents for beginner level would go in 1000-2000 courses, intermediate in 3000-4000, etc. Label it as an additional resource for the course.
Upload Documents for a Subject you are familiar with
It helps if you know about the subject you are uploading for, if you know nothing about thin film deposition don't try uploading documents for thin film courses. Otherwise you will have a high chance of being rejected.
Upload Popular Documents
You get a free unlock every time someone thumbs up or unlocks a document you uploaded.
If you upload high quality documents with tons of info you will see unlocks rolling in everyday. Once you have a couple hundred documents uploaded you will always have more unlocks than you can spend. High quality documents are the key to this hack.
Traditional Course Hero account sharing via friends
This isn't quite a free course hero account but it can be pretty close depending on how many people are in your share group. You will be finding some people to split the monthly cost of course hero with.
You can share a course hero account with:
- Friends at School
- People you meet on forums
- Account sharing services
The more you trust the people in your group the better, that way you don't have people running off and switching account details randomly.
Friends and Classmates
If you and four other classmates go in on a 3 month membership you only have to pay $4 a month for all the documents you want. These are also people you know in person and who won't rip you off.
I've had some cool teachers that will let me announce to the class for 40 seconds that i'm getting a course hero account and looking for people who want to share. This is usually enough to get a solid group started. I've even gotten groups as big as 14 people that grew from 3, we even had a spreadsheet to keep track of all the members.
You can use this technique to make some extra money on the side if you want as well. If you buy a yearly account ($10 a month) and have 10 people paying 5$ a month for access thats an extra $40 a month for you. Enough to help pay for a phone bill, plus you are getting free course hero!
You can use any forums related to university or test prep to advertise you are looking for people to share a course hero account. Generally its best to send any interested people a private message and exchange Skype details. Then from Skype you can set up the account together.
This can be a way to find people who are interested in course hero for the long term. Since you are reaching more people you can advertise for a year account if you want and have success. A year account is $120 a year or$10 a month. People are more hesitant to get an entire year, but if you love learning sharing a year account with five people is an amazing catch.
Account Sharing Services
Some websites like fiverr offer cheap ways to get you almost free course hero. Some services come and go depending on the time of year, but you usually find some accounts to join here.
Hack Course Hero with tools and bots
Now we get to the fun stuff, the following methods are a starting point for your own researching and experimentation.
Automating the document collection process
If you are tech savvy you can cut down the document collection process time by using scraping tools to download large amounts of documents with the click of the button. This is a wonderful course hero hack that can be quite fun to get working.
A scraping tool works by scanning thousands of web pages and looking for the words you specify. To collect documents for your course hero account you will want to input text like "French Grammar" "Calc Exam" etc.
To get the hack working you also need to use a footprint like "pdf:" to ensure that the only results gathered are pdf files.
I have set my bot up at night and come back to find over 100,000 documents gathered. I then upload them as a batch to course hero and get enough credits to get access for months.

The recipient of Bristol University Hong Kong Postgraduate Scholarship 2014, Ms. Irene Law, will be joining the MA in Music programme at the University of Bristol in October 2014. Irene is now a school music teacher; she has a strong dedication with a proven record of success in the areas of performing art, art administration and music education in Hong Kong and abroad. To find out more about her, please read her personal statement.
2014 - Law Ho Yan, IreneM.A. in Music
Fanny graduated from the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Hong Kong with a first class degree, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Sociology. She also found time to study Spanish and enjoyed travelling to different places as a student. Fanny is now embarking on a new adventure at Bristol University where she has joined the Master of Science in Public Policy programme. After her graduation from HKU Fanny became a full-time journalist specializing in Hong Kong politics. To quote Fanny herself 'having observed so many of the day-to-day happenings on the frontline of the public arena, I am taking the opportunity of a year at Bristol University to step back and think more deeply about society, in particular what good governance should really be about. Alongside these academic pursuits I also look forward to widening my cultural horizons on this culturally diverse campus and taking the opportunity to travel in the UK and Europe'.
Denise Chan, who will be joining the MSc in Deafhood Studies programme. To see why she was the unanimous choice of the interview panel click on the attachment below to read Denise's personal statement'.
MSc in International Development
There are times in life when you experience meaningful changes or positive turning points, be they big or small, and you come back a new person. I would say, a year abroad in Bristol has been a lifetime's defining experience for me.
Development is not merely an issue about the third world. The meaning attached varies across countries, and this is where exactly the issue is worth rethinking. There has been a long time debate on the definition and the model, if any, of development. By the time I was fortunate enough to be granted scholarship by the University of Bristol Convocation Hong Kong Branch, I had worked for several years as a news reporter and had eventually become more attracted to the twists and turns in politics, social and international affairs. I am proud of having made the decision of returning to academia and quested for a better understanding of the complexities in our rapidly changing world.
The time I spent in Bristol has been rewarding. I had an opportunity to learn from and with the brightest people I have ever known. A year without the demands of a job gave me the respite to explore and appreciate everything Bristol has to offer. I was making great friends from all around the world, diving into new cultures, taking stimulating seminars, exploring diverse knowledge and enjoying the weekend sunshine and cider as much as other Bristolians. What I miss most are the good times in England and the great opportunities to travel around Europe that studying in England allows me, which I shall say is a once-a-lifetime luxury.

HNS chatted with Fox's The Exorcist stars Geena Davis, Hannah Kasulka, Brianne Howey and Mouzam Makkar along with creator Jeremy Slater last week about the show's upcoming season finale, their hopes for season 2 and much much more. Check out all the scoop below and be sure to tune in to the season finale this Friday on FOX!
About Geena Davis turning to the dark side:
One thing we learned is that Geena Davis is LOVING getting to play the villain for a change. "It's fun to be possessed. It's great, it's fantastic," states Davis. She was the only cast member told ahead of time that her character would actually be turning possessed and is in fact the iconic Regan. She was the only one who knew about the shocking revelation – the rest of the cast didn't know. "We were constantly thinking about what can we do that if you look at it later, you'll say, 'ah ha!' but doesn't give it away," elaborates Davis about the big reveal.
It was also revealed that Angela's possession is different. Because she invited the demon in, it isn't the typical possession like we saw in Casey. This is integration. And integration is irreversible. "Angela is gone," confirms Slater. We now only have bad Angela.
Also on the dark side is the elusive Salesman. Hannah Kasulka joked, "We got very close," referring to her twisted scenes with him. She also reveals that he does Tai Chi and is a badass in real life. We learned that will be back in the season finale, and will be scarier than he's ever been.
The family dynamics:
The dynamic of the Rance family is at the heart of the show, and it's clear to all how important this dynamic was in establishing the story. Brianne Howey describes the family bond that stood out to her when she read the script, and states that in the middle of this horror script you have an honest, slice of life story – something you don't often see in a horror script. She also highlights that the show has so many strong female characters and how this was important to her when she read for the role.
Kasulka echoes this and gives credit to the writers, stating that the writing was so good, it could've been an hour long drama. To this Slater jokes, "We're basically This is Us."
Kasulka talks about how Casey displays such strong empathy for her family members, going so far as to burden herself with her family's issues. She's a fighter, and fights for her family.
"The show started off already in a dark place because of what Henry was going through. Gina was starting to notice in the home. Kat was grieving. So it already started out like we need help. We already needed a lot of support and love and then it only went downhill. But I think for Kat, watching her own family go downhill brought her out of her dark hole because she realized that she needed and wanted to be there for her sister and her mom and her father," explains Howey.
The uniqueness and superior writing of the show:
Production was actually delayed because they wanted the best writers. Slater said this later gave them less time to shoot the scenes, but it was worth it to get the writing to where it is.
Kasulka gives credit to the writers of the show as well, and talks of getting the complicated scripts "Basically every script I got I was like, 'Ooh. I don't know if I can do this. And that never went away really… there were moments in the script where I went how am I going to pull this off?"
"The genre will sell depending on if you believe in it," says Davis.
Doomed love:
Mouzam Makkar highlights that her character really just purely believes in love. This isn't necessarily the same belief Father Tomas has though, because his profession prohibits this. She states that Jessica knows that this love will never be, though in her mind Tomas can have both [love and his profession].
The future of The Exorcist:
There was a lot of chatter about how Season 2 (if Fox renews) would be set up, and Slater confirmed that Season 2 will be a continuation… with "the characters who survive." Previously he'd stated that he can't guarantee that both Father Marcus and Father Tomas will survive the season finale this week.
Fingers crossed we will get to see the story continue in Season 2! Be sure to tune in to the season finale this Friday on FOX and be sure to share the hashtag #RenewTheExorcist as the show waits to hear if they get a season 2!

I haven't posted one of these in awhile, and that is mostly because the last few books I read I truly just wasn't into. I could not even force myself to pick them up and finish them.
I was in dire need of a book like this to come and save me. I am loving this book. I have about 100 pages left, and I judt started it on Saturday. I probably shouldn't share that, but I honestly could not put it down.
I can't wait to see how it ends, but I know I will be sad to finish it too! Please let me know of any other books you recommend in the comments below.
From goodreads.com:
#1 internationally bestselling author Karin Slaughter returns with a sophisticated and chilling psychological thriller of dangerous secrets, cold vengeance, and unexpected absolution, in which two estranged sisters must come together to find truth about two harrowing tragedies, twenty years apart, that devastate their lives.
Sisters. Strangers. Survivors.
More than twenty years ago, Claire and Lydia's teenaged sister Julia vanished without a trace. The two women have not spoken since, and now their lives could not be more different. Claire is the glamorous trophy wife of an Atlanta millionaire. Lydia, a single mother, dates an ex-con and struggles to make ends meet. But neither has recovered from the horror and heartbreak of their shared loss—a devastating wound that's cruelly ripped open when Claire's husband is killed.
The disappearance of a teenage girl and the murder of a middle-aged man, almost a quarter-century apart: what could connect them? Forming a wary truce, the surviving sisters look to the past to find the truth, unearthing the secrets that destroyed their family all those years ago . . . and uncovering the possibility of redemption, and revenge, where they least expect it.
Powerful, poignant, and utterly gripping, packed with indelible characters and unforgettable twists, Pretty Girls is a masterful thriller from one of the finest suspense writers working today.

THE NEXT ECONOMY: International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam calls for projects from Africa
The International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam calls for projects under the theme THE NEXT ECONOMY. Edgar Pieterse elaborates why this theme provides a fantastic opportunity for African urban designers, architects, landscape architects, academics, artists, planners, cities, universities, companies and social organizations.
What does Nigeria's new GDP number actually mean?
Nigeria is now the biggest economy in Africa. How did this happen and what does that mean for Nigeria and for Africa?
Will Nigeria Overtake South Africa as Africa's Powerhouse?
Projections that Nigeria's economy will be more important than South Africa's by 2020 underplay serious instabilities in Nigeria's economy, political systems and surrounding region. Writer for Think Africa Press, Simukai Tinhu reports.

Happy Monday Everyone!
I hope you had a great weekend and are looking forward to a productive week ahead!
Today I want to talk about strategies on how to impress your customers. And by impress I really mean make them feel AMAZING before, during and after their purchase. This topic was actually suggested in December's Readers' Contest, so many thanks to the person who came up with this idea!
I'm not re-inventing the wheel here obviously – all the strategies I'm going to talk about are mostly common sense BUT the problem is that the majority of you aren't implementing them! And I don't take credit for these ideas either – the list is created based on my personal experience and most of them are borrowed from well-known companies, companies who have already figured it out! All you have to do is copy what they do or at least borrow some ideas to impress your customers!
Ok then, let's get started with my TOP 10 ways to impress your customers!
1. The sales channel
It all starts with the product listing – be it eBay, Amazon or your own online store. All the things I have talked about hundreds of times need to be perfect! This includes:
- Professional product images (super important)
- Accurate and detailed descriptions
- Precise and customer friendly payment, shipping, returns and contact details
These 3 things you absolutely MUST get right! You want your customers to be impressed the moment they land on your product page – with all the information in place so that they simply can't find a reason not to order from you.
The checkout process also matters. On eBay & Amazon this is already taken care of for us and buyers generally have a very good shopping experience (a very fast one too as people don't have to enter any address details etc.) but if you run an online shop, make sure you: [Read more…]

text: Settlement For Holidaymaker After 'Nightmare' Dominican Getaway Specialist Travel Lawyers Welcome Settlement for Essex Woman 13.08.2014 Specialist travel lawyers at Irwin Mitchell have secured a settlement of £10,000 for a woman who fell ill during a holiday to the Dominican Republic that has left her with ongoing gastric symptoms and memories of a 'holiday from hell' rather than the dream trip she had planned. Katie Francis, 23, had surprised her mum by booking a trip of a lifetime to the Grand Paradise Bavaro Resort in Punta Cana in May 2011 as a belated Mother's Day present. The veterinary care assistant, from Colchester, was hoping they could enjoy a relaxing family break in the Caribbean sun but says they were faced with what she describes as 'atrocious' conditions at the hotel which included occasions where; • Sewage smells were noticeable in public areas of the hotel; • Food sometimes appeared undercooked; • Food which should have been served hot was lukewarm; • Dirty water was used to rinse food preparation areas ; • Food was served uncovered and exposed to insects in the vicinity Katie fell ill midway through the trip suffering with severe diarrhoea and painful stomach cramps. Over three years on, she continues to experience symptoms, which she says have affected her social life and her relationship, but thankfully she is now learning to cope with her illness. Amandeep Dhillon, is a Partner in the International Personal Injury team at Irwin Mitchell. Expert OpinionThe conditions Katie reported at the hotel were concerning. "Katie's illness resulted in her suffering extremely unpleasant symptoms over a number of days – ruining her holiday and resulting in further health problems following her return home. "We are pleased that the legal battle is over for Katie and hope that the settlement allows her to move forward with her life." Amandeep Dhillon, Partner Katie said: "I would definitely not travel to the Dominican again after my holiday from hell. "This was supposed to be a relaxing holiday and a lovely Mother's Day treat but it quickly turned into an absolute nightmare. I am glad that I now have justice and hope that no one else has to go through such an awful experience."

Title : DENSITY INDUCTION TIMES BEHIND SHOCK WAVES IN VERY LEAN MIXTURES OF D2, H2, C2H2 AND C2H4 WITH O2.
Descriptive Note : Scientific rept.,
Corporate Author : GENERAL ELECTRIC RESEARCH LAB SCHENECTADY N Y
Personal Author(s) : White,D. R.
Report Date : DEC 1965
Pagination or Media Count : 36
Abstract : The induction time for shock wave-induced exothermic reaction in lean O2-D2, O2-H2, O2-C2H2, and O2-C2H4 mixtures was measured in the constant area shock tube using optical interferometry. For fuel/oxygen ratios of a few per cent and for 1100 <T<2200K, the gas time from the shock to the first decrease in density is given in moles/liter, seconds, and degrees K. All fuels show essentially the same activation energy (approx. 17.3 kcal/ mole); and with respect to H2, the induction times for D2, C2H2, and C2H4 are about 1.5, 0.5, and 0.4, respectively. The more nearly stoichiometric mixtures show induction times inversely proportional to the geometric mean reactant concentration, and the dependence on the fuel concentration increases with decreasing fuel/O2 ratio, the dependence on (O2) vanishing for the leanest O2-C2H4 mixtures. The vibrationally relaxed but unreacted density is always attained prior to exothermic reaction, and changing the relation time with respect to the induction time has no effect on the latter within the data scatter.

Interpersonal Violence
It is really important to understand what Interpersonal Violence (IPV) is so that we can identify it when it occurs. So often we think we know what it is and how it happens but in reality our understanding may not be accurate. IPV is defined as sexual assault, stalking, and relationship violence and involves issues of power and control. In all instances, survivors of the abuse are never to blame. The person who committed the acts of violence made the choice to hurt someone and the responsibility rests solely with perpetrator.
Sexual Assault:
This is an umbrella term that refers to any sexual activity where one person has not gained permission (consent) from the other person for the sexual activity.
Relationship Violence (Domestic and Dating Violence):
This is a pattern of abuse that occurs in a relationship, whether you are (or have been) in a committed partnership, married, or dating. Abuse can take many forms, including physical (e.g: hitting, pushing etc), emotional (e.g: making someone feel they are worthless or stupid), verbal (e.g: name calling, put downs), financial (e.g: withholding money), and sexual (e.g: withholding or forcing sexual acts).
Is a purposeful course of action, directed at a specific person that causes that person to be afraid, fearful, or intimidated. Stalking can occur during a relationship, after a relationship, or in the absence of a relationship.
How To Help A Friend:
Below are some things to consider when listening/talking to a survivor of interpersonal violence:
Often a person in crisis just needs someone to hear their story. You can show you're really listening to your friend by nodding, looking your friend in the eye, saying "uh-huh", etc.
One of the most important things you can do is to communicate that you believe what your friend is telling you. Survivors often worry that they will not be believed or have been told by the perpetrator that no one will believe them.
Help to clarify what you think your friend is saying.
Listen carefully to your friend and then tell them what you think they said about their feelings. Your friend may be talking about her/his emotions in a way that seems jumbled. You can help by sorting out and repeating back what was said. Say things like: "It sounds like…" or "What I hear you saying is…"
Let your friend decide what they want to talk about.
Don't push your friend to talk about something if they are not comfortable. If you feel you need to ask questions ask gently, so your friend doesn't feel that you're prying. Ask general questions, e.g., "Do you want to talk about what happened?" rather than, "How were you raped?"
Avoid asking accusing questions.
The perpetrator is to blame for what happened. You may feel angry and frustrated about what happened, but don't take it out on your friend. Don't ask questions about why your friend did (or didn't do) a certain thing. Survivors do the best they can with confusing, terrifying, or life-threatening situations.
Don't make decisions for your friend.
The experience of a interpersonal violence incident is one of having complete control taken away. You can help your friend regain power over her/his life by letting your friend make her/his own decisions about what to do next. Help your friend get information on what all of the options are, but let her/him make the decisions.
Show that you care.
Remind your friend that you care, and that this crisis hasn't changed that fact. You can show your affection by hugging (check your friend is okay to be hugged), telling your friend that you love her/him, or even just sitting quietly together. You may not feel that you are doing much, but your presence can mean a great deal.
Remind your friend to have self-compassion and self-care.
Your friend has been through a very difficult experience. Remind your friend to be good to herself/himself.
Take care of yourself.
It can be very upsetting and traumatic when a friend is victimized. You may feel powerless, guilty, shocked, angry, or scared. These feelings are normal, natural responses. Be sure to be kind to yourself and get help managing these emotions.

How to report on-campus:
Sexual Harassment
Northeastern Illinois University prohibits the sexual harassment of employees, students and visitors to campus. Copies of the sexual harassment policy and Discrimination Grievance Procedure are available in Counseling Services (D-024), and the Office of Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action and Ethics Compliance (C-628).
Northeastern Illinois University does not tolerate sexual assault, which is a specific type of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Northeastern cooperates fully with legal authorities in preventing and prosecuting sexual assault offenses, and imposes strict sanctions against those found responsible for sexual assault. The University offers educational programs and resources designed to promote the awareness and prevention of sexual assault on all campuses. Northeastern recognizes that victims and offenders can be any gender, including transgender, and expects members of the University community to help maintain a safe environment.

I broke the puk when i was playing airhockey with my friends :-)
the material i used was acrylic plate 4 mm thick.
I made this in the lasercutter. i prepared it in Inkscape.

Sharing is caring
Love to lie down with a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other?
Damn, I cannot keep the pages open with just one thumb...
Say no more!
The solution is a simple thumb page holder!
This is a proof of concept and will be developed to divinity.
3 layers of 3 mm acrylic.
Glued together with clear "kontaktlim".
Measure your thumb where the root of the fingernail is - that is where the holder should sit comfortably.
Changes to be made:
Smoother edges.
The width should be longer, let's say 8 cm.
Hello :-)
This projekt i made for my exam in Innovation. It is a prototype of a folding-cup, that can contain hot liquids, and it will be possible to fold it, after use.
i made it on the 3D printer and assemble the parts afterwards.
I made some origami folding with the cardboard, so it was possible to fold the cup.
it could be cool to make a real one

Staying comfortable during your MRIs
December 16, 2014
My neurologist says I need to have another MRI for MS. I understand they are part of my treatment plan—and that they are important. But I kind of hate them because I'm not a fan of closed spaces. I don't want to be a baby about it, but I'd rather not go. So, I thought I'd ask if you have any tips for making an MRI just a little more tolerable?
– Hating My MRIs
Nurse Claire replies:
Let's be honest, MRIs are not at the top of most people's list of fun ways to spend an afternoon. But there are a few tips for making the experience a little more bearable.
Start with comfortable clothes that are free of metal, such as zippers or rivets, so you're comfortable during the scan. Many MRI suites pipe in music. It really does make the time pass more quickly. So call ahead and ask if you can bring a device loaded with your favorite songs.
Many patients have MRIs when their energy level is at its peak. But some patients actually schedule their MRI for when they think they'll be the most tired, so they can sleep through it.
If MRIs make you anxious, some people find it can be comforting to have the tech call out phases of the MRI, such as "We're halfway done" or "Only 10 minutes more." If you find you're having a truly hard time being in the machine, your healthcare provider may be able to offer more suggestions of other types of help.
Don't forget, the benefits greatly outweigh any discomfort you might feel.

I get along with just about everyone so far, but it takes me a few moments to figure out that you are OK. I'm a bit cautious, I guess, but once I think you are a super person to know, I'm ready for attention. Except...I don't like anyone to pet my back. It really, really makes me feel creepy and I start chewing on myself where you pet me. But you can pet my head. I'm good with that.
Right now, I live at The Charming Cat Corner in Vista Ridge Mall of Lewisville. Please come see me. I'd love to see you so you can be my new family.
Thank You!

Review by lycomayflower
This comic books series continues to be really excellent, with compelling artwork, intriguing storylines, and complex characters. I don't really have anything more to say except that the whole series is absolutely worth checking out.
Review by melissarochelle
Read from October 19 to 20, 2015The artwork is what keeps this volume at 4 stars, the story moved a tad too slow for me. There was some progress: a few reunions, a few seperations, some anger, some death, some weird dragon self-love. At least three different storylines that (at times) were a lot to keep up with. Before the next volume is published, I'm gonna have to revisit vols 4 & 5 to keep it all straight.
Review by All_Hail_Grimlock
Love this series so much!7:55 pm 26 October 2015Saga, Volume 5 - Fiona Staples, Brian K. VaughanI continue to love this series. I may just end up buying these on Comixology, despite the fact that I got this collection from the library: I saw it and snapped it up. I own some of these issues, but not all of them. And reading this, I was reminded of why I love this series so much. There's a lot here: it's about war, specifically the effects of war on the psyche although it also touches on what it does to nations, as well as family, loyalty, and... there's just too much to me to list. It's mind-boggling all the themes Vaughan manages to put into such a slim volume, and Staples doesn't slouch on the art. It's not only gorgeously illustrated, each panel compliments the feel that Vaughan is going for perfectly. Dengo and Prince Robot IV were my favorite characters, although I especially appreciated that Marko and IV were forced to work together: the same man had both their children, and although they despised each other, they knew they needed one another to find Hazel and the princeling. In other words, this was perfect, using every narrative trick it could to its fullest potential. I'm only sorry that issue thirty one hasn't come out yet: I'm willing to wait because the quality is just amazing enough to be worth the wait, but I'd still love to see more immediately.

Expanding Water Supply and Sanitation Coverage through Output-Based Aid By Norio Saito and Maria Christina Dueñas • Output-based aid is a scheme that uses performance-based grants to support delivery of basic services to traditionally marginalized poor households.
The Asian Development Bank is set to undertake its first output-based aid (OBA) initiative. Will it prove to be the right modality for Nepal's small towns and their water supply and sanitation concerns? Background Roughly 69% of Nepal's total population still has no access to improved sanitation, with more than half practicing open defecation.1 A much lesser 12%2 have no access to safe drinking water but this figure is misleading—a closer look reveals that water availability is intermittent in many areas, half of the gravity flow systems in the hills need major repairs, and more than half of the tube wells are contaminated. This general condition is echoed in Nepal's 265 small towns.3 In 2000, the government formulated a 15-year development plan to address the water supply and sanitation needs of small towns. In the 8 years that followed, though, only 32 towns experienced major improvements in services. Twenty-nine out of the 32 towns were covered by the ADB-assisted Small Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project, completed in November 2008. This project had a productive run—it introduced water users to the principle of cost sharing, reduced the occurrence of waterborne diseases, fostered community involvement, and more. However, it also had shortcomings. For example, high connection fees prevented the poor from connecting to the water supply system, and tying subsidies to inputs, not outputs, meant that some of the latrines and water connections set up were not always sound from a technical point of view. In 2009, ADB approved the Second Small Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project to provide improved water supply and sanitation services to roughly 240,000 people in 20 small towns. To address some weaknesses of the first project, ADB aims to introduce the OBA approach to a small segment of the target group.

• Such schemes have generally targeted rural villages but, on occasion, large cities. For its first use of OBA, ADB will test the scheme in small towns in Nepal.
An example of a sanitation facility in Nepal's small town
The OBA approach is not new. But the targeting of small urban towns, coupled with the fact that it is ADB's and Nepal's first foray into OBA, makes this initiative a potentially rich source of lessons for future projects. Approach OBA in a Nutshell. OBA uses performance-based grants to support delivery of basic services to poor households that have traditionally been left out or provided with poor quality service. The aid bridges the gap between the total cost of providing a service to a user and the user's ability to pay the cost. Unlike traditional subsidies, however, aid is given only after successful completion and inspection of the service (output). In the meantime, a service provider pre-finances the cost of installing the service, with counterpart from the poor households targeted. Key Players. The OBA scheme being piloted by the Second Small Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project will have two major outputs—house or yard connections to piped water supply and private latrines. The project management office in Nepal's Department of Water Supply and Sewerage will manage the scheme in partnership with the towns' water users and sanitation committees. The committees will pre-finance the construction of facilities and will only receive OBA upon successful validation of outputs. Local nongovernment organizations (NGOs) will serve as independent verification agents. Applying the Scheme. The first challenge is to ensure that the poor receive aid. The project is currently surveying households with monthly incomes ranging from 3,000–4,500 Nepalese
WHO and UNICEF. 2010. Joint Monitoring Programme for Water and Sanitation. Progress on Drinking Water and Sanitation: 2010 Update. Ibid. Small towns are defined as having a population of 5,000–40,000 inhabitants, located on a road linked to the strategic road network, and having at least one secondary school, a health post, grid electricity, basic telecommunications, and banking.

For this project, a thorough review of alternative financing schemes point to the following as the most feasible subsidies:
Consultation with beneficiaries
rupees (NRs) to find out who does not have proper water and sanitation facilities. Once the target households have been identified, the water users and sanitation committee will engage with them until an agreement on financing, benefits, and obligations is reached. An initial commitment fee of NRs500 will be required from households. The construction phase will begin with a local NGO acting as independent verification agent, photo-documenting the conditions of the proposed sites prior to any construction. For installing water connections, the water users and sanitation committee will tap the services of a civil works contractor. For latrines, the committee will provide a voucher to households, who will procure construction materials. Once the facilities are completed and their functionality has been validated by the NGO, the Department of Water Supply and Sewerage will release 80% of the aid to the committee. The NGO will revisit the sites 6 months later to ensure that the facilities remain in working order. If so, the department will release the remaining 20% to the committee. If work is unsatisfactory, the committee will not be reimbursed. This would provide strong incentives to the committees to closely supervise the work and ensure that facilities work as planned. Getting the Numbers Right. OBA schemes must ensure that the poor receiving aid can pay for services on a long-term basis and that their payments, combined with the payments of the
• The poor will receive up to 75% of water connection costs as OBA. The monthly water service charge to poor households will be about NRs220. • The OBA for latrines will increase to NRs10,000 for the substructure and superstructure, covering about 75% of substructure cost. The balance will be shouldered by households. Pilot Towns. The approach, to be initially piloted in 12 small towns, is based on an OBA study undertaken for two towns, Phidim and Duhabi. Phidim comprises 1,556 households. While 87% of its population is already connected to the water supply system, water is not available at all times and water quality does not meet World Health Organization standards. Duhabi is a growing industrial town encompassing 5,415 households. Only 16% of them have piped water in their house; the rest rely on community taps or tube wells. Half of the population practices open defecation. Challenges Ahead It is too early to say if the OBA approach will work for this project. The government's transition to a federal structure and the political uncertainty that comes with the change, coupled with complex peace processes, can potentially derail the project's progress at the macro level. At the town level, the project must contend with the households' readiness to abandon traditional practices, i.e., open defecation, willingness to pay for piped water and sanitation services, the proposed financing scheme's ability to sustain the water and sanitation services, and more. The OBA component is a small portion of the Second Small Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project, accounting for only $1.3 million of the project's $71.7 million total cost. Still, its success will potentially strengthen the design of ADB's future water supply and sanitation projects.

Can Beauty Sleep Actually Improve Your Looks?
Getting your beauty sleep may be more important than you think. Thanks to Estee Lauder, a new study has suggested that individuals who do not get quality sleep may show more signs of aging in younger years.
So how do you know if you're getting all you can out of your beauty sleep? Well, there are several instances that can prevent you from getting a good nights sleep: not sleeping enough, not sleeping deeply and repeatedly waking up in the middle of the night. All of these factors disturb your sleep cycle, which is when your body is able to perform optimal cell repair!
Medical Daily reported, "while chronic sleep deprivation has been linked to medical problems such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, and immune deficiency, its effects on skin function have previously been unknown…Women reporting inadequate sleep patterns showed an increased presence of 'intrinsic' aging signs, such as fine lines, reduced elasticity, and uneven pigmentation. Additionally, the poor quality sleepers displayed longer recovery times from 'extrinsic' signs, such as sunburn and other external factors."
If you suffer from the evidence of sleep deprivation on your face, such as fine lines, wrinkles, under eye circles and more, MCH Laser & Wellness can help you refresh and rejuvenate. Botox, Juvederm, Restylane and chemical peels can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while photofacials can eliminate age spots and other pigmentation concerns. So, although beauty sleep really can help improve your looks, so can MCH Laser & Wellness!
