SECTION 1 - PURPOSE AND CONTEXT
(1) This policy applies to all research activity carried out by, at or on behalf of The Scots College (TSC). The policy, therefore, applies to all individuals who carry out research at or on behalf of TSC whether as an employee, student or in some other representative or associated capacity.
(2) TSC considers research and partnership with other institutions which pursue knowledge to be vital institutional functions and is committed to pursuing these activities in accordance with the highest standards of professional conduct.
(3) This policy forms a code of practice for the responsible conduct of research. It aims to:
promote the highest possible standards of research practice;
protect all those associated with the research from any avoidable harm that may arise from failures to maintain high standards of research conduct;
discourage misconduct and fraud through encouraging the open presentation and discussion of results via peer review mechanisms;
apply clear procedures for dealing with allegations of misconduct;
protect or otherwise balance the rights of all those associated with the research, human and non-human alike.
(4) This Code of Practice has been formulated in accordance with the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (2007) (ACRCR) which should be read in conjunction with this policy and the TSC Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Policy. The ACRCR requires institutions to establish procedures and guidelines on good research practice and on steps to be followed if suspicions or allegations exist regarding research misconduct.
(5) The responsibility of researchers to the College community, to the public and to the College itself is acknowledged. This responsibility is particularly important where professional practice or College policy may be defined or modified in light of research findings.
(6) The processes of research aim to protect the reliability that knowledge claims. The following broad principles that guide research have been long established and all contribute to the largely self-correcting nature of research:
Maintenance of ethical standards;
Validity and accuracy in the collection and reporting of data;
Communication between collaborators;
Maintenance and reference to records;
Presentation and discussion of work at scholarly meetings;
Publication of results, including the important element of peer refereeing;
The possibility that investigations will be repeated or extended by other researchers.
Obligation to serve the values, ends and strategies of the Scots College as an Australian private boys school in the Presbyterian tradition.
(7) It is intended that this Code of Practice be implemented in consideration of these principles and in compliance with accepted ethical research practice, College policy and all relevant legislation.
SECTION 2 - DEFINITIONS
(8) For the purpose of this policy and its attendant procedures the following Australian Research Council Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) definition of Research applies.
(9) Research is defined as the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies and understandings. This could include synthesis and analysis of previous research to the extent that it leads to new and creative outcomes.
(10) This definition of research is consistent with a broad notion of research and experimental development (R&D) as comprising of creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of humanity, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications*.
(11) This definition of research encompasses pure and strategic basic research, applied research and experimental development. Applied research is original investigation undertaken to acquire new knowledge but directed towards a specific, practical aim or objective (including a client-driven purpose).
(12) For the purpose of this policy and its attendant procedures the following definitions of Misconduct in Research apply. Misconduct in research includes but is not limited to:
the fabrication of data, including claiming results where none have been obtained;
the falsification of data, including changing or destruction of records;
misleading ascription of authorship, including: the listing of authors without their permission, attributing work to others who have not in fact contributed to the research, and the lack of appropriate acknowledgment of work primarily produced by a research student/trainee or associate. It does not include honest errors or honest differences in interpretation or judgements of data;
deliberate inclusion of inaccurate or misleading information relating to research activity and publications in: curriculum vitae, grant applications, job applications or public statements; or the failure to provide relevant information;
other practices that seriously deviate from those commonly accepted within the research community for proposing, conducting or reporting research;
departure from approved protocols in relation to human or animal experimentation or the handling of hazardous materials, where misconduct does not include honest errors or honest differences in interpretation or judgements of data;
intentional infringements of this Research Code of Practice or those which occur through gross or persistent neglect;
failure to declare and manage serious conflicts of interest;
conducting research without required ethics approval;
risking the safety of human participants or the well-being of animals or the environment;
conduct which can constitute breaches of policies regarding academic misconduct or Conflict of Interest Policy which apply from time to time; and
wilful concealment or facilitation of research misconduct by others.
SECTION 3 - POLICY STATEMENT
(13) All persons involved in research that is undertaken by, at, or on behalf of the The Scots College (TSC) are expected to act in a manner that serves to promote the good name of the College and augment the confidence of the College's constituency in its research credentials.
(14) TSC expects its staff, students and other individuals acting in its name or using its facilities to demonstrate integrity and professionalism in the conduct of their research. Integrity means that researchers primarily serve scholarly and public interests and that researchers have an obligation to achieve and maintain the highest standards of intellectual honesty and ethical practice in the conduct of all aspects of their research.
(15) Integrity also requires researchers to only participate in work that they are competent to perform and which conforms to accepted ethical standards, TSC policies and procedures and all prevailing legislation.
(16) TSC recognises that competition in research can have a strong and positive influence on enhancing the quality and immediacy of research work. However, TSC researchers must not allow competitive pressures to distort research practices if they encourage:
hasty or poor preparation and submission of papers;
the division of reports or substantial bodies of work into multiple small reports to enhance the 'publication count' of the author(s); or
an undue emphasis on 'logical-next-step' research at the expense of more creative and more innovative lines of study.
rapid publication of papers without due consideration of Intellectual Property protection.
(17) Accordingly, due emphasis will be given to quality, serviceability (in terms of its service to the College community) and originality of research, as well as to volume of research output.
(18) The College and researchers have a responsibility to assess and manage the risk of their research activities and to conduct their research in a safe manner. For this and other pertinent reasons TSC considers it essential that the design of projects also takes account of any relevant ethical guidelines. Accordingly all persons undertaking research at TSC must comply with established guidelines such as the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Humans Research (2007), the Values and Ethics - Guidelines for Ethical Conduct in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Research (2003), TSC Work Health and Safety Policy and related Work Health and Safety legislation, the Australian Code of Practice for the Care and Use of Animals for Scientific Purposes (2004) and the NSW Animal Research Act 1985.
(19) Good research practice requires researchers to pay attention to obtaining necessary permissions (includes permits, licences), correctly attributing authorship, acknowledging sources correctly and citing referencing and avoiding plagiarism. Where research procedures are of a kind requiring approval by the College's Human Research Ethics Committee, or by other safety or validly constituted regulatory committee, research must not proceed without such approval. It is an offence under Part V of the Animal Research Act to conduct animal research without a valid Animal Research Authority.
(20) Research staff and students are required to keep diligent, accurate and up to date records of their research either in laboratory or field notebooks or in secure digital storage, as defined by the TSC Director, IT Services.
(21) Where several parties are involved (researchers, assistants, funding agencies, enterprises, school departments, government departments, universities) good practice requires participants to ensure explicit consensus in writing on intellectual property rights and authorship among all parties in advance of research commencing.
(22) In international research or on-line environments, researchers must take due account of national laws, particularly if more stringent requirements with respect to the collection of personal data operate than those in Australia.
(23) This Code of Practice, which is seen as a framework for sound research procedures, is to be applied in respect of all research activity undertaken by, at, or on behalf of TSC. Any individual found to be in breach of this Code in relation to research activity may be subject to disciplinary or other action as set forth in this Code and other related policies and procedures.
(24) The Director, Strategy, Partnerships and Research, and the Head of Research will monitor the observance of the Code of Practice.
Part A - Data Management, Storage and Retention
(25) For the purposes of this document, research data is defined as the originally constituted body of evidence, or other materials, on which the findings or interpretation of the research are based. It also includes all forms of dissemination, including non-refereed publications, such as web pages, and other media such as exhibitions or films, as well as professional and institutional repositories. The term 'data' refers to information held in any form including paper, electronic, visual (x-rays, CT scans, videos, photos and MRIs), audio records or personnel records of any kind (such as student or job records, salary payment details or health and medical details).
(26) Research data must be securely stored to ensure that the validity of the data can be demonstrated as required and to ensure that the College meets its obligations relating to privacy under NSW legislative requirements, Intellectual Property protection under international laws and any other confidentiality or research agreements entered into in relation to the research.
(27) Research data should be recorded in a durable and appropriately referenced form. TSC laboratory or field notebooks provide one option for this. While it is acknowledged that certain forms of data may not be able to be stored or referenced in traditional ways, every effort should be made to record such material in a fashion appropriate to its nature.
(28) Data management must comply with relevant privacy protocols for the collection, storage, retention and disposal of data and records, including: NSW Privacy and Personal information Protection Act 1998, NSW Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002, NSW State Records Act 1998 (where applicable), and the College's Privacy Policy and Records Management Policy.
(29) Intellectual property arising from research conducted by or through the College is covered by the College's Intellectual Property Policy.
(30) Note that privacy requirements extend beyond the storage of data and the Health Privacy legislation has very specific provisions about research that must be adhered to. Secrecy may be necessary for a limited period in the case of contracted research or of non-contractual research that is under consideration for patent protection. In general, research results and methods should be open to scrutiny by colleagues within the institution and, through appropriate publication, by the world at large.
(31) Data collected by TSC employees are normally owned by the College.
(32) The development of a national framework and supporting policy for data sharing is underway. There are technical, institutional, policy, legal and social aspects of data sharing. Cooperative data sharing relationships between researchers outside the project team will be subject to a formal negotiation resulting in a signed "Data Sharing Agreement" (under development).
Part B - Authorship
(33) Authorship is defined by the ACRCR as substantial participation in the preparation of a paper or report, where all the following conditions are met:
conception and design, or analysis and interpretation of data;
analysis and interpretation of research data
drafting significant parts of the work or critically revising it so as to contribute to the interpretation.
(34) TSC is guided by the Vancouver Protocol. Each discipline has its own customs and practices for joint or multi authorship, however, custom must not reproduce inappropriate practices. Participation in research solely on the basis of being head or supervisor of a research group, or provision/acquisition of funding or collection of data does not automatically justify a person being named as author.
(35) 'Substantial participation' is normally interpreted to mean input beyond that of:
providing materials, instruction or advice;
granting use of laboratory space or equipment;
providing financial support or involvement solely in the acquisition of funding;
the collection of data;
general supervision of the research group or a higher degree student.
(36) Any part of an article critical to its main conclusion must be the responsibility of at least one author.
(37) An author's role in a research output must be sufficient for that person to take public responsibility for at least that part of the output in that person's area of expertise.
(38) No person who is an author, consistent with the definition outlined above, should be excluded as an author without his or her permission in writing.
(39) 'Honorary authorship' is unacceptable. 'Honorary authorship' is an outdated practice in some medicine and laboratory sciences that lists a person as an author when they have not substantially participated in the research output consistent with the above.
(40) Authorship of a research output is a matter that must be discussed between researchers and agreed upon at an early stage in a research project, and reviewed whenever there are changes in participation.
(41) Where there is more than one co-author of a research output, one co-author (by agreement among the authors) should be nominated as corresponding author for that research output, and should take responsibility for record-keeping regarding the research output.
(42) Due recognition of all participants is a part of a proper research process. Authors must ensure that the work of research students/trainees, research assistants and technical officers is properly acknowledged. Courtesy demands that funding agencies, individuals and organisations providing facilities should also be acknowledged. Providing acknowledgement is normally an obligation under research or funding agreements.
(43) In the case of higher degree students, supervisors must ensure that students are fairly treated. Agreement should be reached between the candidate and members of the supervisory panel concerning authorship of publications and acknowledgment of contributions during and after candidature. Unless there is a formal agreement to the contrary, students own their own intellectual property. (See Intellectual Property Policy)
(44) It will normally be the case that a student will be first author in any multiple authored article that is substantially based on the student's own research project and unique contribution.
(45) There should be open and mutual recognition of the candidate's and any supervisor's contribution on all published work arising from the project. (See Conflict of Interest Policy)
(46) "Authorship" or being listed as an inventor on a patent is different to that on a research paper and is determined by patent law.
Part C - Publication
(47) Researchers have a responsibility to their colleagues and the wider community to disseminate a full account of their research as broadly as possible:
The account should be complete, and, where applicable, include negative findings and results contrary to the hypotheses.
Publication activities must take account of any restrictions relating to intellectual property, personally or culturally sensitive data.
Researchers must, where feasible, also provide research participants with an appropriate summary of the research results.
(48) All reasonable steps must be taken to ensure that published reports, statistics and public statements about research activities and performance are complete, accurate and unambiguous, and, where applicable, include negative findings and results contrary to the hypotheses.
(49) All TSC authors are required to cite their institutional research base as The Scots College when recording their institutional affiliation in research articles, conference papers and other publications, irrespective of the placement of the affiliation in the publication. (Refer to Affiliation Procedures document)
(50) All TSC authors should always try to provide an accurate source citation with any image used, including, where possible, correct attribution of the creator who is the artist/photographer/illustrator. It may not always be possible to provide the source citation exactly where the image features in your work; you may need to add a list of references or credits at the end of your work instead. It may not always be possible to identify the actual artist, photographer or illustrator, but where this information is available to you, to ensure that you do not infringe the Moral Rights of an author or artist (as conferred under the Copyright Act 1968) you must include proper attribution. It is to be noted that the College owns Copyright in materials created, developed and presented by employees of the College in the course of their employment. (Refer to TSC Copyright Policy and TSC Intellectual Property Policy.)
(51) As a general principle, research findings should not be reported in the public media before they have been reported to a research audience of experts in the field of research, preferably by publication in a peer-reviewed journal, except where there is a contractual arrangement.
(52) In relation to media reporting, researchers are advised to contact MARCOM or the Director of College Communications for assistance in communicating with and through the media. (See Media Policy).
(53) It is acknowledged that where issues of public policy and concern make prior public reporting desirable, such advice must be tendered first to the public or professional authorities responsible and the unreported status of the findings must be advised at the same time. Only where responsible authorities fail to act can prior reporting to the media be justified, and again the unpublished status of the findings must be reported at the same time.
(54) Where there is private reporting of research that has not yet been exposed to open peer-review scrutiny, especially when it is reported to prospective financial supporters, researchers have an obligation to explain fully the status of the work and the peer-review mechanisms to which it will be subjected.
(55) Publication of multiple papers based on the same set(s) or sub-set(s) of data or sources is improper unless there is full cross-referencing within the papers (for example, in a series of closely related work, or where a complete work grew out of a preliminary publication and this is fully acknowledged).
(56) Simultaneous submission to more than one journal or publisher of material based on the same set(s) or sub-set(s) of data/ material must be disclosed at the time of submission.
(57) Publications must include information on the sources of financial support for the research. Researchers should refer to Part E of these guidelines on the requirements for the disclosure of any potential conflict of interest.
(58) Accuracy is essential in describing the state of publication (in preparation, submitted, accepted), research funding (applied for, granted, funding period), and awards conferred, and where any of these relate to more than one research worker.
(59) Researchers must ensure that all reporting of research complies with any contractual obligations associated with project funding or other conditions and with the College's Intellectual Property Policy.
(60) Researchers should report all eligible publications to the Research Office, regardless of whether they are also reporting to external universities or partners, and provide verification as specified.
Part D - Supervision of Students/Research Trainees
(61) Supervisors have a responsibility to undertake appropriate training (either at TSC or with a partner institution) to impart knowledge of best practice research methods to research degree candidates under their supervision, guide them in acquiring research experience that conforms to the highest standards of integrity and professionalism as set out in this Code of Practice, and ensure that the conduct of their research meets relevant ethical, legislative and work health and safety standards, including in fieldwork. The ratio of research trainees to supervisors must be appropriate for effective intellectual interaction.
(62) Supervisors must ensure that research trainees' training, either within TSC or with a partner institution of higher education, starts as soon as possible in the career of a researcher. Training should encompass discipline-based research methods and other relevant skills, such as awareness of intellectual property, the ability to interact with industry and to work with diverse communities.
(63) Supervisors should guide the professional development of research trainees. This involves providing guidance in all matters relating to research conduct and overseeing all stages of the research process including identifying the research objectives and approach, obtaining ethics and other approvals, obtaining funding, conducting the research, and reporting the research outcomes in appropriate forums and media.
Part E - Disclosure of Potential Conflict of Interest
(64) Researchers have an obligation to disclose at the time of reporting or proposing research (for example, in a grant application), any affiliation with, or financial involvement in, any organisation or entity with a direct interest in the subject matter or materials of the research. Therefore all researchers must comply with the TSC Conflict of Interest Policy.
(65) Conflicts of interest include the full range of potential interests, including direct benefits such as sponsorship of the investigation and indirect benefits such as the provision of materials or facilities or the support of individuals such as provision of travel or accommodation expenses to attend conferences.
(66) Researchers must avoid conflict of interest which has the potential to influence research and investigations, publication and media reports, grant applications, or applications for appointment and promotion.
(67) Early disclosure of potential conflict of interest is essential for the responsible conduct of research.
Part F - Responsibilities Under the Code
(68) Each Dean and Director, Research Institute is responsible for the conduct of research within their areas of responsibilities and for the observance of the Research Code of Practice. The Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President, Research and Development may nominate the College's Advisers on Integrity in Research. The Advisers will be familiar with these Guidelines and other issues relating to research integrity and misconduct.
(69) Often, what appears to be an issue of research misconduct may in fact be a complex amalgam of other issues including poor communication, misunderstandings, discrimination, and/or bullying and harassment. Researchers may seek advice from:
a School Director of Research or Higher Degree Research Director
the Pro Vice-Chancellor, Research and Innovation
Equity and Diversity Unit
Badanami Centre for Indigenous Education
College Advisers in Research Integrity
(70) Schools and Research Institutes should periodically review procedures for communication of requirements for the conduct of research within their respective areas. This may involve re-issuing established guidelines; improving procedures for monitoring and documenting research practices; or further training.
(71) For further information contact:
Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President, Research and Development
Part G - Integrity in Research Committee: Membership and Terms of Reference
(72) The Scots College's Integrity in Research Committee has the responsibility of advising on high level issues relating to the ethical and professional conduct of research.
(73) The Integrity in Research Committee reports to the Vice-Chancellor and President.
(74) Membership of the Committee shall be as follows:
External Chair
Nominee of the College's Research Committee
Chair or nominee of TSC Human Research Ethics Committee or Chair or nominee of TSC Animal Care and Ethics Committee
Two Professors or Associate Professors invited from an Australian University or Higher Education Provider
(75) The Committee will:
advise the Vice-Chancellor and President on issues of integrity in research;
provide confidential advice to both staff and students on ethical issues in research matters, including potential conflict of interest in funding and sponsorship;
receive, in confidence, notification from researchers on any affiliation or financial involvement in, or payments or other assistance in kind from, any organisation with direct interest in the subject matter or materials of their research. A confidential Register of this information will be maintained by the Committee;
communicate with external bodies such as research funding bodies and journal editors in the event of actual or alleged conflict of interest in research.
(76) The Vice-Chancellor and President of TSC will appoint all members.
(77) The Committee may consult with experts in specified research areas as required.
(78) The Committee will meet formally on at least an annual basis.
SECTION 4 - PROCEDURES
Part H - Procedures Relating to Data Storage and Retention
(79) The academic unit or division is responsible for ensuring the retention of research data and records of research data. It is inadvisable for individual researchers to hold the sole copy of the data. Retention exclusively by the individual researcher provides little protection to the researcher or the institution in the event of an allegation of falsification of data.
(80) In special cases the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President, Research and Development may approve alternative arrangements for the storage of data. Such arrangements should be consistent with contractual requirements and relevant legislation.
(81) Each research project should nominate one Investigator who will be responsible for storage and record keeping.
(82) At the time of submitting progress and final research reports to the TSC Office of Research Services, Investigators are required to report on this aspect of the research process for monitoring and quality assurance purposes.
(83) On completion of research projects or on completion of discrete components of a project, the nominated Investigator is required to make a declaration related to data storage and retention. This declaration should be lodged with the academic unit or division. Data storage requirements are potentially subject to audit.
(84) In accordance with ACRCR researchers should retain research data and primary materials for sufficient time to allow reference to them by other researchers and interested parties. In general the minimum recommended period for retention of research data is five years from the date of publication. However, in any particular case, the period for which data should be retained should be determined by the specific type of research. For example with clinical research, fifteen years may be more appropriate.
(85) Wherever possible, a copy of the original data should be retained in the academic unit or division department or research unit in which the Chief Investigator resides.
(86) TSC Laboratory or Field Notebooks (since 2009) remain the property of TSC at all times. Numbered notebooks are allocated and controlled by schools, research institutes and research centres. When no longer required within the academic unit, the notebooks are stored in Records and Archives Management Services Unit. Copies of the data may be retained by the researcher.
(87) Data obtained from limited access databases or in a contracted project, may not be able to be retained. In such cases, a written indication of the location of the original data or key information regarding the limited access database from which it was extracted must be kept in the academic unit or division.
(88) Data related to publications and other forms of dissemination must be available for discussion with other researchers.
(89) Researchers given access to confidential information must maintain that confidentiality. Primary materials and confidential research data must be kept in secure storage.
(90) Where confidentiality provisions apply (for example, where the researchers or institution have given undertakings to third parties, such as the subjects of the research), it is essential for data to be kept in a way that reference to them by third parties can occur without breaching such confidentiality.
(91) Confidentiality agreements to protect intellectual property rights may be agreed between the institution, the researchers and a sponsor of the research. Where such agreements limit free publication and discussion, limitations and restrictions must be explicitly agreed and negotiated through the Office of Research Services.
(92) It is the obligation of the Chief Investigator to enquire whether confidentiality agreements apply and of the unit head to inform researchers of their obligations with respect to these provisions.
(93) Management of research data and databases containing confidential information, and any limits on this, are subject to the ethics protocols of the College and relevant legislation. This clause should be read in conjunction with the TSC Code of Conduct.
(94) Researchers must be responsible for ensuring appropriate security for any confidential material, including that held in computing systems. Where computing systems are accessible through networks, particular attention to security of confidential data is required.
(95) Security and confidentiality must be assured in a way that copes with multiple researchers and the departure of individual researchers.
(96) In the event that the Chief Investigator leaves the College, the academic unit or division should ensure that the outgoing Investigator transfers storage protocols to another member of the College staff. It is imperative that the College continues to maintain the data and observe storage requirements.
Part I - Procedures Relating to Authorship and Attribution
(97) A signed statement of authorship may be required by publishers at the time of submission of any research paper, including electronic dissemination of research findings. If not required by the publisher, researchers are advised to create one. (Exemplar statement is available from the Office of Research Services.)
(98) If there are multiple authors, all co-authors of a publication or research output must:
acknowledge in writing their involvement as authors as indicated above;
specify that the signatories are the only authors according to this definition;
state that the signatories have read the version of the paper submitted for publication.
(99) The written acknowledgment of authorship must be placed on file in the academic unit or division of the corresponding author, at the time of submission of the research output for publication, and must remain in safe keeping and be available when required. If, for any reason, one or more co-authors are unable to sign the statement, the head of the academic unit or division may sign on their behalf, noting the reason for their unavailability. This statement should accompany the work to the publishers.
(100) At the time of submitting progress and final research reports to the funding agency and/or Office of Research Services, Chief Investigators will be required to report on this aspect of the research process for quality assurance purposes.
(101) Conflicts arising through disputes about authorship shall be referred to the Pro Vice-Chancellor, Research and Innovation who in the first instance will seek a negotiated resolution. If a dispute results in a formal complaint, the procedures for handling research misconduct will be implemented. (See Part L - Procedures for Dealing with Allegations of Misconduct in Research).
(102) The College is a generator of new knowledge and contributor to scholarly outputs. It is committed to ensuring that appropriate academic and financial recognition is received from the publications of its staff and students. All TSC staff and students are to ensure all publications are correctly attributed to The Scots College (which must be written in full) and that TSC is correctly and consistently attributed first as the institutional affiliation of TSC based authors. (Refer to Procedures for Attribution of Publications Affiliation document)
(103) Depending on the publication, the preferred style is The Scots College, followed by Institute, Faculty and/or Department (if space permits). Listing The Scots College first is the most effective method for ensuring that TSC receives appropriate recognition.
(104) The relevant Institute/Faculty/Department may be listed as second affiliation where there is sufficient space to do so but never in place of The Scots College.
Part J - Procedures Relating to the Supervision of Students/Research Trainees
(105) Supervisors of higher degree research students must have current registration on the TSC Graduate Supervisor Register, ensuring that each research student/trainee (including honours, masters honours and doctoral students, and junior postdoctoral staff) is assigned to at least one specific, responsible and appropriately qualified senior research worker.
(106) Each research student/trainee should be provided with written material of applicable government and institutional guidelines for the conduct of research, including those covering ethical requirement for studies on human or animal subjects, requirements for confidentiality, and work health and safety matters.
(107) The supervisor must ensure as far as possible, the validity of research data obtained by a student under his/her supervision.
Part K - Procedures Relating to the Disclosure of Potential Conflict of Interest
(108) The Integrity in Research Committee (see Terms of Reference, Part G) will receive, in confidence, notification from researchers of any affiliation or financial involvement in, or payments or other assistance in kind, from any organisation with direct interest in the subject matter or materials of their research.
(109) The Integrity in Research Committee will communicate with funding bodies and editors of publications where potential or alleged conflicts of interest in research make this necessary.
Part L - Procedures for Dealing with Allegations of Misconduct in Research
Procedures Relating to Allegations of Research Misconduct against Staff/Students
(110) Allegations of research misconduct are considered serious. It is expected that the principles of confidentiality, sensitivity to all parties and procedural fairness are applicable.
(111) Allegations of research misconduct require very careful handling. When an allegation is made, the protection of all interested parties is essential.
(112) Interested parties may include:
the person bringing the allegation;
the person against whom a complaint is made;
research students/trainees and staff working with the person concerned;
journals, or other media, in which allegedly fraudulent papers have been or are about to be published;
funding bodies that have contributed to the research;
in some cases the public - for example if a drug is involved.
(113) Adequate protection of the complainant and the accused demands absolute confidentiality and reasonable speed in the early stages of investigation. On the other hand, the protection of other parties may involve some disclosure. In such cases, the Vice-Chancellor and President would make the judgement.
(114) Supervisors shall make reasonable efforts to resolve incidents of possible misconduct informally, with the expectation that, in many cases, situations will be resolved with appropriate guidance, counselling, conciliation, or other appropriate action that may include staff development.
(115) In the case of staff misconduct in research, investigative and disciplinary action will be initiated in accordance with the appropriate employment agreement.
(116) In the case of research students, a formal process for investigations of allegations of research misconduct is contained in the Misconduct - Higher Degree Research Candidate Misconduct in Research Policy. All allegations of research student misconduct in research shall be directed to the Pro Vice-Chancellor, Research and Innovation for preliminary investigation.
(117) The University must notify National Health and Medicial Research Council (NHMRC) of the receipt of any complaint or allegation of Research Misconduct that is made to the Administering Institution that involves and NHMRC funded grant and any Specified Personnel within ten working days following receipt of the complaint or allegation. For full procedures please refer to the NHMRC Funding agreement.
SECTION 5 - GUIDELINES
Examples of Misconduct
(118) Examples of misconduct include but are not limited to the following:
Misappropriation: A researcher or reviewer shall not intentionally or recklessly
plagiarise, which shall be understood to mean the presentation of the documented words or ideas of another as his or her own, without attribution appropriate for the medium of presentation;
make use of any information in breach of any duty of confidentiality associated with the review of any manuscript or grant application;
intentionally omit reference to the relevant published work of others for the purpose of inferring personal discovery of new information.
Interference: A researcher or reviewer shall not intentionally and without authorisation take or sequester or materially damage any research-related property of another, including without limitation the apparatus, reagents, biological materials, writings, data, hardware, software, or any other substance or device used or produced in the conduct of research.
Misrepresentation: A researcher or reviewer shall not with intent to deceive, or in reckless disregard for the truth,
state or present a material or significant falsehood, or
omit a fact so that what is stated or presented as a whole states or presents a material or significant falsehood.
(119) TSC ethics policy and review is guided by the following national guidelines:
Vancouver Protocol
Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research
National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Research Involving Humans
Australian Code of Practice for the Care and Use of Animals for Scientific Purposes
Health Guidelines for Ethical Conduct in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Research - 2003

We'd like to thank the Thames Water Charity Committee and the Hummingbird Charitable Trust for donating £20,000 between them to enable us to refurbish and upgrade the much-loved Hydrotherapy Pool. Check back here or social media pages for updates as our exciting Pool refurbishment gets underway.
Our pool is 19 years old and was built when Prior's Court first opened. It is used all day, every day; each of our students gets at least 30 minutes of water-based therapy each week from an experienced Swimming Instructor. In addition to the regular sessions received by every child, those with specific physical or psychological needs get additional structured sessions.
Calm anxiety – there is a high incidence of anxiety in our students, which can lead to self-harming and challenging behaviour. We use the mood lighting in the pool room to calm those with sensory needs and anxiety.
We have a particularly anxious young man. He regularly gets anxious and drops to the ground. He particularly finds it difficult to transition from place to place. By far his favourite place is the pool; as soon as he's in the water, he smiles and fully submerges. Although not technically swimming, he is confident and happy. To see him so happy makes my job extremely worthwhile.
Teach about water safety and safe behaviours around water. Many of our children and young people are overly excited by water in all its guises – rivers, the sea, showers and baths, taps - which can be dangerous. Learning how to behave safely around water is an integral part of Prior's Court's education and care plan.
Have fun – swimming is one of the few activities here that every student loves! In fact, it's often difficult to persuade them to get out of the pool when their session has come to an end.
Because of her Autism and difficulties with communication Lyla can often become withdrawn and it's really hard to find activities that she can engage in. However in the water she seems so at ease & relaxed. It's such an amazing sensory experience for her and she always greets the swimming pool with a massive smile and becomes very vocal in the water. Lyla struggles to access a public swimming pool because of her difficulties in social situations and therefore I'm so grateful that Lyla has access to swimming at Priors court, these lessons are not only therapeutic but also provide her with independence, confidence & valuable life skills around water safety.
Scarlett, mother of 8 year old Lyla.
The pool's sensory system is now so old that much of it is not working; there is no longer sound and many of the lights are broken. It's is out of date, so when it breaks it can no longer be repaired as many parts no longer exist. An urgent upgrade is needed. At the same time, we would like to improve the system by adding sound, additional modern lighting and projectors to throw images around the room.
We would also like to improve access for routine maintenance by relocating the lighting to the peripheries of the pool and the control box from its external position to the poolside so that it can be accessed from within the pool environment. This is both safer and will reduce routine maintenance costs.
Thank you to the Thames Water Charity Committee and the Hummingbird Charitable Trust for donating £20,000 between them to enable us to refurbish and upgrade the much-loved Hydrotherapy Pool. Check back here or on social media pages for updates with progress as work on the Hydrotherapy Pool gets underway.

JIM HOLT FOR U.S. SENATE
HOLT CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT SET FOR JANUARY 14
SPRINGDALE, Arkansas — Former State Senator Jim Holt, who led the GOP ticket in the 2006 statewide elections, will announce his candidacy in the 2010 U.S. Senate race at a series of events to be held January 14th.
Senator Holt will be flown to five campaign kick-off events in Little Rock, Texarkana, Jonesboro, Ft. Smith and Springdale.
Holt says that this election is about bringing the nation back from the brink. "Our government needs serious reform, and it needed it yesterday," said Holt. "Unfortunately, Arkansas' senator has been busy contributing to the nation's problems," said Holt, who cited incumbent Blanche Lincoln's cloture vote on the 'Health Care Reform Bill' as a recent example. "She essentially told the people of Arkansas that our opinion meant absolutely nothing, and it wasn't the first time," he added.
Senator Holt summed up the sentiment of voters statewide: "I don't think the people of Arkansas want to continue having a senator who is the tipping vote for socialist agendas. Rather, they want leaders who heed our Constitution and the various restraints which exist to prevent such agendas."
Jason Sheppard, the Holt for Senate campaign's manager, said that the response to a prospective Holt candidacy has been nearly overwhelming. "We've clearly been given our orders: we've got a job to do," said Sheppard, noting that the campaign received more donations in a set of fundraising events held last week than was raised in either of their primary campaigns in 2004 and 2006. "Both of which Jim won against multiple candidates without even a runoff," Sheppard pointed out. "The number of hands-on supporters active in this campaign has also been impressive," Sheppard added. "Things are looking very good for our team."
Sheppard noted the difference between this election and the Holt/Lincoln election of 2004, which he also managed. "As a campaign, we're in a much, much more enviable position than we were in 2004. As a country, unfortunately, we're in much worse shape," Sheppard said. "'We were largely unknown then, and many key people wrote the race off because of that combined with Lincoln's then inexplicable popularity. Both these factors have changed," he added. "Inside and outside the state, the Holt team is blessed with a strong network of supporters who are eager to see a return to Constitutionally-limited government," said Sheppard. "And Senator Lincoln continues to anger just about every category of voter in this state."

Is there a difference between an elephant and a cockroach? Or there's no difference?
We can divide, separate, distinguish anything anyhow, using any criterion or a group of criteria - these criteria are always chosen by us, and always - with a certain purpose.
Take these series (General list), please - an elephant, a cockroach, a maple, a dandelion, a sorrel, a magpie, a pine, a fly, a cypress. Enter these objects, please, into two lists: "Flora" and "Fauna" - so that "different" objects would be in the different lists and "identical" would be in the one list.
Now take the "Fauna" list and enter these objects into three lists: "Insects", "Animals" and "Birds" - so that "different" objects would be in the different lists and "identical" would be in the one list.
Now return to the "General list" and enter these objects into two lists: "Insects" and "Non-insects" - so that "different" objects would be in the different lists and "identical" would be in the one list.
Is it different or identical?
"We can divide, separate, distinguish anything anyhow, using any criterion or a group of criteria - these criteria are always chosen by us, and always - with a certain purpose", and then (only then!) :))))) we get "different" or "identical".
Perception has nearly no deal to distinguishing "different" and "identical". It depends on logic and a skill of using it. And nothing but this. :))) - Simple formal logic and ability to operate it's instruments.
Formal logic has it's limits in determining "identity" and "difference". When "objects" turn to "processes" (processes are synergetic's objects) formal logic is not able to function correctly.
- Well, now I think that Huay-Nen could deliver the knowledge only counting on similar type of mind.
- Seems like everything would be different if there was a personal contact with him? And he could deliver the knowledge to other consciousness types?
- Well, a man always - whatever he does - if it is really him... and if he is free...and if he is not a jerk... :)) he does this something without any social/cultural/ family/financial habits. He does it completely consciously. But still he doesn't know why does he do it.
- He knows. :))) And until he does not - instinctively he fills the vacuum of his personal "purpose bag" with "false why's" - "social/cultural/family/financial habits".
- What intention can incite a man to interact with outer world? Comes out that it is financial-material one.
- How important is word usage?
There's no "important" - generally... :))) ...abstractly. :))) There is "important" concretely! Concreteness comes when the limits are drawn. Correct concreteness arises when the correct limits are drawn. :)) Second logic teaches how to draw limits correctly. When the limits - taking into account all :)))) concrete circumstances and non- circumstances :))) are set correctly - then it can be seen: this - HERE and NOW - is important. And that - is not important. Or conversely: HERE and NOW this - is not important, but that - is important.
- For me this "second" logic appears (the understanding of it - what is it)... like that look from inside - when you just see - this is "important" - this is not, though there's no direct indication on it - I just "know" so... but if... when in addition involves an intellect - it tries to turn over everything... but since recent days I can kind of not seeing it... :))))))) ...where do I misunderstand second logic?
- About the second....seems like I understood correctly....:))) only the skill is still low - I have to switch - I mean there's no constant use :))))) is constant training necessary?
Why is second logic called logic?
- By the way, why is second logic called logic?
- A machine, which makes conclusions from premises by some determined way is called Logic.
- Maybe exactly this confuses many people, because people start to look for features of logic, but logic - is habitual for us first logic.
- To me second logic (starting from what I read in mailing list, because I never read anything about this in zen context) seems to be having a right look on things.
- Logic that is adequate to an examined object - is exactly the "correct look".
- Only when a man gets the correct look he can start doing something, because it is impossible to do anything correctly if he is blind or half-blind.
- Or one-eyed men, they can't determine distance correctly, because they don't have stereoscopic eyesight. They see everything as if it is on flatness. One eye (first logic) is present, the second eye is not. Is such example appropriate here?
Don't turn a circle into a triangle!
First logic's possessor is standing on the scene. Lika an utter fool. His brow is knitted. Buddha is passing by.
- Right Zen, right Zen... What is right Zen? Right Zen is a nonsense. What is right anyway? Right comparing with what?
First logic's pocessor is continuing to stand on the scene like an utter fool... His brow is knitted.
You should find some limit and do something with it: set, go over, break, close, define and so on.
Exercise #10 "Control work: my improvements"
Tilla Tor borlor@chat.ru Improvements? I think that it is a bit early for sprouts, but looks like something is swelling. As if some hope showed up - became apparent...like a photograph in developing tray, but just as if it is not in the right lighting (not in the right position?), but in another position we will see :)) I'll sprout, I think, and what does prevent me all in all? :)) Is growed up mini-enlightning quantity (as if something flaps my brow with sandal all the time) can be supposed as improvement? But all in all everything is groovy :))) P.s. Enlightning or Awakening? How's more right from zen position? I like awakening more, but that's probably not right, as if hoping for something in advance?
This your "second logic" might be let out from the underground right away on the pedestal, to bask in the sun, play a bit. BUT TEMPORARILY. :)) To fall out from own style, not forgetting the way back. To grow with hair on the shell of tortoise. Assume that shaving head is not acceptable for state employee, but singing "hare krishna" in the line of orange ones or to go in black over a five hundred miles to Arbat to listen to Umka or to smoke weed as a last resort.
And as for others I don't know :))) , shorter -	towards own fear.
Irina Gutsenko irina@gas.crimea.ua Glad to communicate with you! Interesting, can good be supposed as improvement? First number of the magazine was sent to me by my friend and I liked it very much :) So he subscribed me. My mood is often good really. (Spring is playing it's role and love, of course :) And after I finish reading your magazine, I just want to fly.. :) Thank you, Klein. :) Kiss you. Irchonok!
passer passer@a-teleport.com Hello! :)) Here I've come to the control work! Going to answer. :)))) So.... No, it's better without so. : I'll start with the thing that when I was answering the questions from exerecises I've mentioned - answers are not objective after all, because analysis depends on everything - mood, time, impression, "today, now I answered like this, tomorrow - it is different, yes, indeed!" And after that, Who is answeing?.... I'm sitting... and in my head, all of a sudden ... Ooo! a thought have come! :)) Who is it there?... And who will come tomorrow, and what will he say? Perplexed. :(( Ah, about the control work...what to say - "since the help started to come" ... I began to SMILE MUCH! :))))))))))))) and... Loud !! And, questions appeared.... And I feel good now, because many "expectations by default" don't prevent me from Looking widerer! :))) And - THANKS ! O!
Exercise #8 "Don't knit your brow"
not to join eyebrows, not to srew up eyes, not to pull lips smiling? no?
It is better not to screw up eyes. To pull lips smiling. To join eyebrows only consciously. :))) And! I forgot! :)))) Brow! - not to knit!
I suppose that moving one's face - is somewhat like an urge to encourage the thought, to interfere, but violence is harmful. Isn't it?
Violence is harmful? :)))))))))))))))))Brothers, if I hurt you, I'll do it regretfully. :)))) Your position determines - if it is harmful or not. :))))) Your position determines - if it is violence or not. But not just an urge "to encourage the thought, to interfere", not an urge "to cuff on the nape, to interfere", not an urge like " What an apprentice should do? - Kick him! (c) "Zennies", to interfere". :)))) And violence is harmful, of course. It's just necesarry to understand correctly - whAt is "violence".
Exercise #6 "The most useless action"
La Oveja garbager@mtu-net.ru Kicking in quietly. After each perusal. :)))) Ah, now I have something to read. :)))) (Interesting, automtically I put 4 smiles. And you do more!!!) Not by the way, I haven't found the most useless action. :(((( Maybe, there's no such action?
La Oveja garbager@mtu-net.ru Listen, Klein, it just dawned upon me. The most useless action - is when I bite my nails when thinking of something heavily.
VT tt@link.pccenter.ru Checking my misunderstanding: unexpectedly I found to zenhelps (I looked on the news page, nothing about them there), and! read in the last issue reports about home exercises and this inspired me to write about "the most useless action" and "to do only one job": "useful" is a conception that cant be applied to "action". to do one job (not action) - just don't do things that don't relate to the job you are doing. greetings to you.
But I don't manage to use it often (I invented it about a month ago), I remember about it strangely seldom.
Vladik hfljcnm@mail.ru The most useless - is to live!!! What? You think... you enlight... you engage in science and all such things... but all these things... how to say - you still need to live, don't you? But really - this is useless... But useless for what, properly speaking??? For example, if you want to fly - it is useless to bark sitting in a quiet room, and do useless things is possible only in connection with some purpose? It is useless to live...!!! All those emotions, mind, not-mind, all these things are in man....A man knows how to type - types, because this and that....and a bird doesn't know how to type because this and that... but they both live!!! One lives in his opportunities, the other one in his own....Each one created OPPORTUNITIES and now is using them... BUT only for living... Don't want to sleep - got to do something... so I think out... BUT I LIVE!!! and what?? :)) Shorter, living - is the most useless action!!!
Possibly some deeps of mind are touched:)) Or noone remembers what was written in previous issues.
Recently, when I set out in writing things that are evident to me for some reason just because I have nothing to do, I start to read them and perplex in my own statement:)) All in all, - "wrote.... thinked.. read.. didn't understand anything."
THank you, but in the message I only found my own files that I made... And I'm interested in yours and Tanya's files... What do you think, - if they let me in GAO early in the morning, at about 7 o'clock? Please order a permit for me if possible.
Ram! Am I secretary to you? Sometimes he wants files to be sent - I run to office at the Saint Eastertide and click them one by one to "Attachments"... instead of you selecting them at once and writing to a floppy disk and - going away. I.e. - you're good. I clicked them half of an hour to your message. At the Saint Eastertide. Instead of drinking vodka at home festively. With coloured eggs. And now, at the International Day of Working-people Solidarity - run to the office again - trough the entire city - people drink, have a good time, walk with red flags and smile, drink vodka, with coloured eggs that were left from the Eastertide - and I should run to office again - Ram gave some work - to order a permit for him, so he could come to the office at 7, and not at 9 o'clock - to sign it at GAO's chief - I'll have to pull him from the Mausoleum's tribune or where does he drink vodka? - to sign the permit - that's the order - he gives permission for holidays... May 9th is soon... haven't you thought what to do with me on Victory's Day?
Dear reader! It is the last time I am telling you about obligation of coming on Wednesdays. I want to tell you an anecdote: There was one russian teacher working in jewish school, it just happened somehow... And one day little Moysha came to the teacher and asked: "Comrade teacher! Why do you dislike us so much?" Teacher reflected on it and said: -"You know Moysha, let's do one thing. Children! - he is saying to the class, - Each bring a bottle of vodka tomorrow! And you, Moysha, bring a bottle too."
Next day, when Moysha was preparing to school, dad asked him: - "Moysha, does each pupil should bring a bottle of vodka?" - "Yes..." - Moysha answered. - "Well if it so, - Moysha's dad said, - let's pour out the vodka here, to the decanter and fill the bottle with water..." And they did so. And sealed the bottle tightly.
- Are you nuts?...- Moysha says.
- This is why I dislike you! - teacher says.
I think that you don't come to the website each Wednesday by similar reason. Possibly, you do everything like this in this world. That's I warn you the last time! "Draw yourself a poster and put it on your computer" - like Olson says.
And remember: Inclination to "forfreeness" - is, in the final analysis, assigning oneself a dog, who listens only to a club.

Q: Connection issue from Spring Boot projects to PostgreSQL database while connecting I am working on a micro service oriented multi-tenant application using Spring MVC, Spring Boot and PostgreSQL. In my service domain, I have different 30 number of Spring Boot projects connecting with same database.
Issue
When I am starting more than 11 Spring Boot project parallel, I am not able to retrieve data from database. I am only getting blank JSON response. But If I am starting only less than 11 projects, then at that time, I am able to get the micro service result. Problem getting when I am starting from 12th service.
Troubleshooting and my Investigation
According to reading, I made little bit changes as follows,
I set PostgreSQL config file, max_connections = 100 and shared_buffers = 128MB.
But that not solved my problem. And also added additional lines in my application.property for hikari connection pool like the following,
spring.datasource.hikari.minimumIdle=3
spring.datasource.hikari.maximum-pool-size=3

Even this also not fixing my issue. Still I am only able to start maximum 12 Spring Boot projects at one time.
On pom.xml added the following,
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
 <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
        <groupId>com.zaxxer</groupId>
        <artifactId>HikariCP</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
  <artifactId>tomcat-jdbc</artifactId>
  <version>9.0.10</version>
</dependency>

application.property updated with the following,
spring.datasource.tomcat.initial-size=15
spring.datasource.tomcat.max-wait=20000
spring.datasource.tomcat.max-active=20
spring.datasource.tomcat.max-idle=20
spring.datasource.tomcat.min-idle=5
spring.datasource.tomcat.default-auto-commit=true

Updates
As I mentioned above, in total I have 100 max connection. When I am starting first microservice and monitoring the DB connection by querying (below query), I am getting 10 connections.
select max_conn,used,res_for_super,max_conn-used-res_for_super res_for_normal
from
 (select count(*) used from pg_stat_activity) t1,
 (select setting::int res_for_super from pg_settings where
  name=$$superuser_reserved_connections$$) t2,
 (select setting::int max_conn from pg_settings where
 name=$$max_connections$$) t3

Activity screenshot - When I started only 1 microservice I am getting like these,

Activity screenshot 2:

So here, for each micro service starting, 10 Database connections are initiating at the back end database level. So if I am starting more than 30 microservice application, it will go to more than 300 connection.
Confusion

*

*Is this because of any database default settings?

*Or is this because of Tomcat problem when connecting to DB engine?

Even I tried to use connection pool tool pgbouncer in my database node. Then also I am getting the same problems.
If this is due to database default settings or configuration, how can I override this?

A: A micro-service architecture is a kind of architecture in which an application is broken down into multiple independent services which are easily to understand, develop, test and are error-prone.
Now according to above definition, each independent service should have their own separate independent databases. But those services can inter-communicate for data if needed.
Each service should have a selected entities in their particular database.
If you have a common database for all those independent services, then you are violating the rule of micro-service architecture.
In this case, there is a high risk of data redundancy.
May be in your case, it is happening that services are containing duplicate version of the data and potentially using up the whole connection pool.
Better approach is to have separate database (containing only the entities specific to that service only) for separate independent service.
Clarification:

*

*Explain above.

*Maintain separate datasource hikari connection pool for all the spring boot modules/projects.
For example : Suppose you have two datasource for two modules/projects -
In application.properties.
## datasource for first service/module ##
datasource1.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:3306/service1
datasource1.username=service1
datasource1.password=password1
datasource1.driver-class-name=org.postgresql.Driver
datasource1.initial-size=15
datasource1.max-wait=20000
datasource1.max-active=20
datasource1.max-idle=20
datasource1.min-idle=5
datasource1.default-auto-commit=true

## datasource for second service/module ##
datasource2.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:3306/service2
datasource2.username=service2
datasource2.password=password2
datasource2.driver-class-name=org.postgresql.Driver
datasource2.initial-size=15
datasource2.max-wait=20000
datasource2.max-active=20
datasource2.max-idle=20
datasource2.min-idle=5
datasource2.default-auto-commit=true

Q: How do I update an div css to display an complete image when section is complete? Using MVC 3
I have a questionaire that has three sections. The page that contains the questionaire has a "next","previous" and "save" button? When I click any of these buttons I want an ajax call to an Actioncontroller called "Question/SectionComplete" if it returns true I want to update menu div with the css that displays complete icon.
Can anyone help get started with sample code?

A: Use the success function of the .ajax method - documentation here - http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
$.ajax({
  url: '/Question/SectionComplete',
  success: function(data) {
      // add code here
      // test for your response
      // then use jquery selector to get element to be updated
      // and use .html() to set element's new value
  }
});

A: function onButtonClick(){
    var data = { myvar: 1 }; // your data to pass to action
    $.getJSON('Question/SectionComplete', data, function(result){
        if(result)
            $('#mymenudiv').css('background-image', 'yourImage'); //your styles here
    })
}

In controller:
public ActionResult SectionComplete(int myvar)
{
    // check condition
    return Json(true, JsonRequestBehaviour.AllowGet); // you can return complex object instead

Day Trip to Field Station: Dinosaurs
By Joanne Colella
"Nine minutes from Manhattan, 90 million years back in time." That's the description you'll find for Field Station: Dinosaurs, a unique family attraction at Overpeck Park in Leonia, NJ.
If you like to think big, this outdoor prehistoric theme park may be just the right day trip for you and your crew, with awe-inspiring attractions designed for kids ages 3 to 11.
Open from June through November, Field Station: Dinosaurs is a destination that emerged from a combination of state-of-the-art science and creative artistry. It offers a one-of-a-kind experience that is equally thrilling and educational, with a herd of 32 life-sized, realistic-looking animatronic dinosaurs towering in the fields – and views of New York City seen in the distance. The park lies on the banks of a creek, amid natural woods.
Through cutting-edge engineering by leading roboticists and employing the latest theories and discoveries in paleontology, geology, and environmental studies, this oversized exhibit illustrates the history of dinosaurs, connects this knowledge to today's world, and explains their extinction. Visitors can enjoy more than 40 live shows, games, and other activities as they explore … and roar!
At the site's amphitheater, shows include the merrily musical Dinosaur Dance Party, the meat-eating T-Rex Feeding Frenzy, and the T-Rex Games, which is an Olympics-style team competition of dinosaur knowledge, skill, and luck. Workshops and games include a Field Station Challenge, Mesozoic Concentration, and a Scavenger Hunt. Do some digging at the Fossil Dig Site to unearth giant dinosaur skeletons and prehistoric fossils!
For an additional $5 fee, guests can head to the Black Light Theater for "Dinosaur Daredevil! Archeopteryx Cleared for Take Off!" where they will learn about the origins of animal flight – and the tale of one brave little dinosaur – in a live, 20-minute musical performed with glow-in-the-dark puppetry. For $10, try your skills as a junior bone hunter at the Paleontologists' Laboratory and take home your discoveries in a souvenir pouch.
For the fall season from Sept. 22 through Nov. 11, the park is open, rain or shine, on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 5 pm. It will also be open on Thursday, Nov. 8 and Friday, Nov. 9, which is the weekend of the NJEA Teachers' Convention, when New Jersey public schools are closed.
For Dinosaurs After Dark, the park is open 7 to 9:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays from Sept. 28 through Oct. 27. During this nocturnal adventure, guests are guided through the grounds by lanterns, play themed games, feast on roasted marshmallows, and enjoy a special screening – all with a T-Rex on the loose!
Day Pass admission, which provides all-day access to the park for ages 2 and up is $15.50 online (plus a $3.50 transaction fee) or $16.75 (plus tax) at the box office. Children under age 2 are admitted free. The Explorer's Pass, with park access plus the black light puppet show, for age 2 and up is $20.50 online or $21.75 at the box office. Free parking is available in the lot next to the front entrance.
To give your young paleontologist-in-training an exciting start to the new school year, you won't have to travel far to travel back in time. Field Station: Dinosaurs is located at 40 Fort Lee Road, Leonia, NJ. To plan an expedition, visit fieldstationdinosaurs.com, call 855-999-9010, or email info@fieldstationdinosaurs.com.


There is no grey hair; there is only white hair. The grey effect comes from the mixture of white and still naturally pigmented hair.
If you want to know more about white hair read our chapter white hair.
How does it look if you paint a black and white wall blue? In most cases you'll get a pattern of light blue and dark blue. In order to get an even result it is important to equalize the colors prior to painting. The stronger the difference on the wall, the more challenging it is to equalize the colors.
Grey hair is like a black and white wall - so that's why its a challenge to color it because both hairdressers and clients want an even color result with the white hair covered.
Trendy, fashion shades have a tendency to cover less than natural shades making the resulting color too vivid.
The white hair is shining through more intensely than the darker hair.
It's important to equalize the white while coloring the rest of the hair. This can be done easily by adding N or NN shades to the chosen formula. Keep in mind that the larger the percentage of white hair is present, the more N-shade must be added.
The intermix of N-Shade (same level as fashion-shade) causes an adjustment of the color so that the color shows a more equal result.
Sometimes even the addition of an N-Shade doesn't provide sufficient coverage of white hair. White or gray hair tends to be very resistant. It still shines through because it's less covered. In these cases a special NN series is required for sufficient coverage and reliable results.
Resistant hair requires special treatment compared to normal hair because of its structure. The conventional alkalinity and normal amount of dyestuffs does not provide sufficient gray coverage.
A stronger alkalinity of special grey products is needed to open the cuticle of resistant hair and to ensure better penetration of color pigments.
A higher concentration of dyes is needed to add the sufficient amount for gray coverage, so that enough color pigments ensure an adequate color saturation on stronger and thicker hair types.

Florida man attacks cellmate after being asked for 'courtesy flush'
Monroe County Sheriff's Office say 53-year-old Gilford Abshire attacked and beat his cellmate Monday morning after the cellmate asked him for a "courtesy flush."
Monroe County Sheriff's Office spokesman Adam Linhardt said the 65-year-old victim, who was in jail for violating his probation on DUI and drug-related charges, told deputies he was upset at Abshire throughout the day for passing gas and asked him for a "courtesy flush" because of the smell.
Instead, Abshire started kicking him while he was on the bottom bunk and then threw him across the cell. The victim was taken to the hospital where he suffered from a broken nose and three broken ribs.
Abshire now faces two felony counts of aggravated battery, and the two men are no longer roommates.
