This would be tricky, Every IC would require jumpers, lots of them. And Headers, etc. I can look into a rough layout but man, you crazy!
I know. I should just start
I know. I should just start designing my own stuff instead of messing with yours.
It's very possible to do
It's very possible to do that suggestion, but the amount of traces and wires and etc you would need, it would be like a 4 layer board! Or just very physically large with lots of traces. Not totally impractical, but very bulky. It would be easier to build boards that stack on top of each other for your power needs. Each board has vertical headers with female headers below the board, so it parallels all the connections. Very simple to do.
Actually I think that a
Actually I think that a stackable H-bridge board could be quit handy.
If you need more current, just slap another one on top and your ready to go. If you need a separate motor controller, solder on a 90 deg header for the control lines but still use the power headers and slap on.
Humm… that is something that I have never seen…
I have to agree. I worked on
I have to agree. I worked on a board that had the option for 2 different variants of a chip, I2c and SPI. It wouldn't have been bad if all of the pins lead to different pins on the proc, but some were shared. It came out looking pretty good, but I don't know if I will be making a board that supports both again. I think the stacking concept that GA mentioned would be interesting to try to come up with.During.
The mission, supported through generous funding from the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), also aimed to gather and amplify the voices of women and girls who have been silenced and restricted to their homes for more than two years under ISIL rule in Mosul.
Since the military operations to retake Mosul from ISIL started in October 2016, the humanitarian crisis has deepened, with more than 72,000 individuals displaced according to United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and 1.2 million more expected to be displaced as the operations continue.
An estimated half of the current and anticipated displaced persons from the Mosul operations are women, girls and female-headed households in need of urgent assistance, many of them survivors of sexual violence, forced child marriages and other human rights abuses. “I was a college professor in Mosul helping to educate the young minds of tomorrow, but when ISIL came everything changed,” said A’isha Hadeel, a former college professor who had recently fled Mosul.
“I taught my students freedom of thought, but during ISIL occupation, I was not free to express my ideas…I was not free to leave my house for two years,” she added. With Professor Hadeel were three female university students: Kawther Maha, aged 20, Saja Nasser, aged 22 and Basma Hussein, aged 23 years.
Prior to ISIL occupation of Mosul, Maha was in her second year of university, studying Agricultural Science, Nasser was in her third year studying Linguistics and Hussein was in her final year, studying Education and aspiring to become a professor. All of them dream of returning to a peaceful Mosul where they can contribute their skills and talents.
Other displaced women shared their stories—not only has the conflict interrupted the future of promising women and girls, but it has thwarted the political aspiration and leadership of women leaders who could be instrumental in building peace, security and cohesion within Iraq. For example, some talked about public executions of female parliamentarian candidates by ISIL in Mosul.
“UN Women has been advocating for the inclusion of women’s leadership and political participation in peace and security through the Women’s Peace and Security programme in order to counter violent extremism,” said UN Women Deputy Country Representative, Paulina Chiwangu.
“Through leadership training, capacity building workshops and cash-for-work programmes UN Women works to ensure that every woman and girl can lead productive and empowered lives,” she added.
To bring out the voices of internally displaced women from Mosul, UN Women will continue to share their stories and perspectives through its ongoing Voices for Dignity series. UN Women is seeking more funding to establish multipurpose listening centers in the camps for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and in host communities.
Note: All names of displaced women have been changed to protect their identities.For Winter Moon I used lots of fun paints and glitter and a cute board book in the shape of a moon that I found at a library book sale. I snatched it up, knowing that it would eventually be put to good use. Discover how I transformed this little crescent moon.My name is Vladimir. I am 39 years old. Some people also know me as Voron.

Take to the slopes or dominate the water with the new Super Crossover from Sportsstuff. This serious multipurpose tube for 1-2 riders features a heavy-duty partial nylon cover and slick durable PVC tarpaulin bottom to speed things up. The Speed Safety Valve makes inflation and deflation fast and easy while the double-webbing foam handles with knuckle guards make holding on simple and comfortable. Fly down your favorite sledding hill or use it on the lake as a towable for an entirely different experience. Choose your element, grab a friend, & take a ride on the Super Crossover to make the most of your winter or summer days.Sarah McDonald, Associate Professor, WFU

Areas of Interest
Rotavirus Replication and Evolution
Research
Our research efforts focus on rotaviruses, which are segmented, double-stranded (ds) RNA viruses that cause diarrhea in young children and animals. During infection of a host cell, rotaviruses replicate their dsRNA genome in tandem with the early stages of virion particle assembly. We seek to better understand this replicase-assembly mechanism of rotavirus through (i) structure-guided, functional analyses of viral proteins and assembly intermediates as well as (ii) genetic analyses of wildtype and mutant rotavirus strains. We also have projects that aim to uncover rotavirus genetic diversity in nature and to elucidate selection pressures that temper viral evolution.
