The extensive anthropological literature concerning menstrual taboos has been dominated by symbolic and structural analyses. I t tells us little about how people actually engage such taboos in their daily lives or about how taboos change through time. I argue that a more historically conscious, practiceoriented approach is needed and employ the Kwaio case to demonstrate how such an approach can reveal taboos as emergent and dynamic creations that both shape and respond to social change.

a b s t r a c tAt small scales, storage is straightforward to afford and to use, but at large scales -from several Terabytes (TB) to many Petabytes (PB) and soon Exabytes (EB) -tradeoffs must be made between cost and convenience, and training for use of such resources needs to take such inconveniences into account. A large scale, long term (over 10 year) institutional research data storage archive is described, focusing on both hardware and software. The technology choices give rise to inconveniences, which in turn not only lead to a crucial requirement for training on the proper use of the archive, but also inform the specifics of that training, as does each individual use case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
