AbstractChalcographic printer is the name given to a specific type of press which is used to transfer the printing of a metal-based engraved plate onto paper. The printing system consists of two rollers for pressing and carrying a metal plate onto which an engraved inked plate is placed. When the driving mechanism is operated, the pressure exerted by the rollers, also called contact pressure, allows the engraved image to be transferred into paper, thereby obtaining the final image. With the aim of ensuring the quality of the result, in terms of good and even transfer of ink, the contact pressure must be uniform. Nowadays, the strategies utilized to measure the pressure are implemented off-line, i.e., when the press machines are shut down for maintenance, which poses limitations. This paper proposes a novel sensor system aimed at monitoring the pressure exerted by the rollers on the engraved plate while chalcographic printer is operating, i.e., on-line. The purpose is two-fold: firstly, real-time monitoring reduces the number of breakdown repairs required, reduces machine downtime and reduces the number of low-quality engravings, which increases productivity and revenues; and secondly, the on-line monitoring and register of the process parameters allows the printing process to be reproducible even with changes in the environmental conditions or other factors such as the wear of the parts that constitute the mechanical system and a change in the dimensions of the printing materials. The proposed system consists of a strain gauge-based load cell and conditioning electronics to sense and treat the signals. View Full-Text

The significance of having well constructed road networks that will fast track socio-economic development cannot in any way be overemphasized in the light of facilitating the swift movement of pedestrian and vehicular movements and in the transportation of goods of varying sorts from one place to another. Road construction and rehabilitation form an integral part of infrastructural development which any development oriented political administration would like to roll out in order to lay the foundation on which various development projects could be sustainably implemented.
As the country is just emerging from peaceful multi-tier elections with the re-election of President Julius Maada Bio, a new Government will soon be formed to continue to map out and implement various programmes that are geared towards checkmating inflation and revamping the economy.
One area which the SLPP led Government, headed by President Julius Maada Bio, made significant gain during its first tenure in office was the road sector. Certain vital roads and bridges were constructed, rehabilitated and maintenance in different regions across the country.
Through the interventions of meaningful development partners, one of which is Pavi Fort Road Construction Company, the President’s development aspirations were and are still being solidly and seriously carried out in order to produce the desired effects or outcomes that suit His Excellency as far as fostering development is concerned.
It could be recalled that in his 2018 Manifesto, Retired Brigadier Julius Maada Bio made an electoral promise to the citizens of Sierra Leone that when he becomes President of the nation he will endeavour to give real meaning to his road construction projects at minimal costs contrary to the colossal sums of money of which it accused the erstwhile Government led by former President Ernest Bai Koroma to have wastefully or corruptly expended.
In translating its road manifesto agenda into reality Pavi Fort Road Construction Company, an indigenous civil engineering entity with a distinguished reputation, won contracts that were advertized and awarded by the Government of Sierra Leone through the Ministry of Works and the Sierra Leone Roads Authority (SLRA).
Founded and being judiciously managed by a competent Management team led by its Chief Executive Officer, Alhaji Alimu Barrie, Pavi Fort has commendably and positively contributed in actualizing the President’s road agenda that mainly borders on enhancing infrastructural development .
This result oriented and highly productive company, Pavi Fort, is at this current moment or stage seriously engaged or involved in the maintenance of township roads right across the country, with particular reference to Freetown, Lungi, Port Loko, Kenema and Kabala among other areas where major road works had been undertaken and completed.
Pavi Fort, has in recent times being involved in the maintenance of roads in Freetown , mainly in the Eastern and Central parts,comprising Kissy By Pass -Old Road, City Road – Old Road, Main Motor Road -Old Road, Bai Bureh Road (P.M.B Junction), Bai Bureh road (Portee Junction to Rokupa Junction, Bai Bureh Road (Texaco Junction), Bai Bureh (Texaco Junction to Old road Texaco, Bai Bureh Upgun Junction, Jenner Wright Road (Upgun Junction), Cline Town Round About, Fourah Bay Road (Kennedy St Junction), Kennedy Street, Fourah Bay Road (Bombay Junction), Fourah Bay Road (Clock Tower Junction), Circular Road (Model School Junction), Rokel Street -Model Junction to Parliament, Sani Abacha Street and the Regent-Jui Road.
As at present, concrete work is now in progress on the Regent Road by the Police Checkpoint.
What exactly the company is doing is the priming of the roads and overlaying of tar or asphalt and in some cases undertaking patching. Significantly, since it commenced work, some of the targeted roads have been successfully primed and overlaid whereas work is ongoing on others. Also, some of the drainages are sometimes cleared as was the case on the Regent Road where concrete work was done instead of using tar because of technical advantages and durability.
Lamentably, the long neglect and dilapidated state of the aforementioned roads really reduced them into seemingly death traps and caused various unsuspecting individuals to incur serious bone fractures or injuries as a result of mistakenly falling into gutters with broken slabs.
The good news is that due to the foresight and development ambition on the part of President Bio and the professional civil engineering works carried out by Pavi Fort Road Construction Company the risks posed by the bad state of these roads are now becoming things of the past.
Cognizance must be taken that prior to undertaking the maintenance of major township roads, Pavi Fort, was engrossed with the implementation of a World Bank funded programme known as the Integrated Resilient Urban Mobility Project (IRUMP).
The Ministry of Transport and Aviation on the 23rd July, 2020 signed an 11 Million Dollar World Bank funded Contract Agreement with Pavi Fort Construction company for the implementation of an aspect of the project.
As learnt, the project is geared towards improving the quality of public transport, address climate resilience, improve road safety in selected areas and enhance institutional capacity in the transport sector.
Pavi Fort undertook the implementation of the project in three areas or corridors namely: Kissy Ferry Junction, Congo Cross and Lumley and the works involved comprehensive corridor improvements that covered complete traffic management measures including intersection improvements, coordinated traffic lights, improvement of sidewalks for pedestrian movement, drainage, etc.
The company expanded the road from two lanes, on both sides, to three lanes, fixed a new drainage system to replace the old small clogged ones which will curtail or drastically reduce flooding on the road during the rains, and made provision for a traffic light to be fixed at the Ferry Junction intersection to control the traffic flow, fixed street lights, guard rails as well as convenient bus stops or parking spaces.
Similar construction and engineering works were also done by the company at Cong Cross and Lumley under the same project, IRUMP, and as it now stands, works in the three areas has reached 85% completion stage. What now remains for the company to do in those three locations is the installation of traffic lights, a work that was delayed because the company was waiting for the experts to jet-in in order to provide the service. However, the company has assured that it will embark on in the shortest possible time from now
Also, the road signs or furniture will also be rolled out and it is expected that by the end of July, 2023 that last aspect of the IRUMP will mark the final completion by Pavi Fort.
The company was also awarded the contract for the rehabilitation or maintenance of major streets in Lungi including the Maada Bio Street which is mainly used by Sea Bird passengers and Sea Coach officials. In that locality the company was involved in stone basing and tarring of damaged roads with the aim of minimizing the number of pot holes which by extension has greatly helped in minimizing the occurrence of accidents.
In Port Loko, the company is engrossed with landscaping, roofing and fixing of pillars on a one hundred bed hospital which was once used by NaCOVERC during the COVID-19 and transformed into a hospital. The company has successfully constructed 2 Kilometre of the projected 2.2km road, according to our reporter, who conducted an inspection and an interview. The company has also 100% the perimeter fence, the car park and tiling of the hospital facility as well as the laying of asphalt in demarcated areas within the facility. Work so far done on the 2.2km road has reached a stage of passing the hospital facility leading to a nearby village and had it not been for the rains it should have been completed by now. As at this material moment, the hospital is 99% completed only awaiting commissioning which is projected to take place at any given time from now.
When this medium caught up with Ing Momodu Jalloh, who is a Project Engineer of Pavi Fort Construction Company in Kenema, Eastern Sierra Leone, he articulately revealed that the entire project involves the rehabilitation and maintenance of 30 Kilometre stretch of roads within the Kenema Township.
He further disclosed the company is currently involved with asphalt work adding that work is expeditiously ongoing as there are no plans of them shutting down maintaining that recently they just took a one day break in order to give workers the opportunity to vote in the June 24, 2023 elections after which they resumed work.
Ing Jalloh also intimated that drainage work is also ongoing furthering how the work is divided into three phases.
“We have completed phase one which is a 10 kilometre of roads that we completed work on and at this stage we are on phase two with almost completing 5 kilometre out of 10 kilometres the phase encompasses,” he stated adding that hopefully, all things being equal, during this same period in 2024 the entire targeted 30 kilometres will be completed.
He pointed out that though the company is an indigenous entity their work output matches match international standards further assuring how their qualitative works always stand the test of time.
It could be recalled that on the 19th May, 2023 in Dogoloyia Town, Koinadugu district, a 261-kilometer road project linking Koinadugu with Falaba and Kono Districts was re-awarded to Pavi Fort with a view to reduce travel time and cost, improve service delivery time and promote the health condition of residents in that part of the country. The road is also known as the 261km Kabala-Krobola-Kono Road.
Interestingly, Pavi Fort Road Construction Company was first awarded the contract of constructing that road during the tenure of the erstwhile APC Government under the leadership of former President Ernest Bai Koroma but work came to a halt when there was a change of Government and funds were not forthcoming despite the fact that the contractor (Pavi Fort) had pre-financed the project.
Construction work was around 40% to 50% when the halt took place as a result of a change of Government and it negatively impinged the company.
According to the CEO of Pavi Fort, Alimu Barrie, if there is one thing for which he will remain grateful to President Bio for it is the re-awarding of the contract to his company especially as he had already spent hugely in pre-financing the project.
Work is earnestly in progress and according to the Public Relations Officer of Pavi Fort, only known as Dabor, culvert work is ongoing further revealing that priming and tarring work are being done. He debunked the false information that the company has terminated work saying they only stopped work for three days because of the elections also divulging how they recommenced work afterwards.
Dabor disclosed that because of the heavy rains they will have to stop work in August and resume on the 15th September, 2023 adding that for now stone pitching is taking place and the quarry is operating as well as the asphalt plant functioning well.
“90% of the culvert work has been completed,” he confidently reiterated.
In an engagement with Pavi Fort’s Director of Operations, Juel Bernard Lawson, he frankly informed that the secret behind the successes of the company hinges on the fact that though Pavi Fort is an indigenous company that employs local staff yet sometimes they hire the services of experts if the expertise could not be secured nationally furthering that when it comes to equipment the company has fleet of machines at its disposal to undertake various tasks.
Lawson also mentioned that they have asphalt plants at different locations as part of their decentralization strategy also disclosing how they have the best paver which is an electronic device with an expert controlling it and Sierra Leoneans understudying him.
Random interviews conducted by this medium, targeting residents within the different project sites where Pavi Fort is involved in the implementation, they gleefully and sincerely commended the company positively for delivering qualitative road works maintaining that the initiative taken by the Government, under the leadership of President Bio was indeed a right step taken in the right direction.
They further expressed delight that the works, after completion, will greatly enhance pedestrian and vehicular movements, lead to the longevity of vehicles and minimize flooding from taking place on some of the major roads due to poor drainages.
They extended gratitude to President Bio and Pavi Fort Construction Company for improving road networks right across the country maintaining that such will largely enhance national development at all levels. | 16economics | 1 |

Scott C. Waring has revealed footage of a disc-shaped dome spotted near Peru and believes it’s “the right size and shape to be the lost city of Atlantis”.
“I long believed (it) was an alien craft that floated on the ocean, then submerged later,” he wrote on his sketchy blog. Daily UFO sightings.
The self-proclaimed ufologist thinks this is evidence of “ancient aliens” and says their technology is just “sitting at the bottom of the ocean”.
Using numerical rulers, he estimates that the perfect circle is about eight kilometers wide.
The dubious spotting was spotted just off the Nazca Desert in southern Peru.
Nazca is actually home to the so-called Nazca Lines, a bunch of geoglyphs in the ground.
They date back to around 500 BC and 500 AD.
Waring can’t help but connect the two, saying, “These Nazca lines are supposed to be designs to welcome the god.
“At the time, such alien technology flying in the sky could easily be mistaken for gods.”
Although the circle is odd, it’s probably something quite innocuous.
This isn’t the first time the bonkers conspiracy theorist has made wild claims about things spotted on Google Maps and more.
He previously found a face resembling the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates on Mars, suggesting it may have come from the Red Planet.
The internet madman even suggested that there was an ancient alien temple on Mars.
In other news, the Nasa prude has admitted she may have to study sex in space if humanity ever wants to travel to other planets.
An ancient mega landslide deep in the ocean has been discovered which could cause a huge tsunami with “just a little jolt in the wrong place”.
Samsung has been accused of throttling the performance of more than 10,000 apps running on its latest smartphone.

Published: September 17th 2013
The holiday continues, and so does the wind. We have been getting buffeted by wind gusts since arriving, however it did settle yesterday for a while. This morning promised us a sunshine and a gentle breeze, so instead of fishing like everybody else, we chose to go for a drive in search of oysters.
We are in the vicinity of Coffin Bay, famous for oysters, so that’s where we headed. We stopped for lunch at Ellerton, about half an hour down the road. That should give you a clue about our departure time. Over a pie and coffee (good pies at Ellerton) Frank suggested that Coffin Bay was a long way, about 220km, so we should go across to Cowell on the other side of the peninsula instead. Cowell is famous for its jade and huge rocks of it can be found on the sea wall, and oysters are also grown in the area. Assuming it was closer, I agreed to Cowell.
The plot thickens. It turns out that Frank, who has developed a keen interest in astronomy, had purchased a filter from a man in Cleve, one town before Cowell. Once I agreed, he rang the man to check if the filter arrived and arranged to pick it up, rather than wait for delivery. Turns out that Cowell is about 250 kms from Venus Bay. Anyway, we bought our oysters then went for a walk along the seawall to collect pieces of jade. I don’t know how legal it actually is. One would think the wall wouldn’t last long if everybody took bits of it home.
A little after five o’clock, when everybody else is preparing dinner, we arrived at Cleve to collect the filter then off home. Yes, that’s right. It is after 5:00 and we still had to drive about 220 kms. I opened the box with the extremely expensive filter to see what it was. Frank glanced over and said he didn’t think it was the right size. He measured it, and he was right. He didn’t look at it when he picked it up. So back we went. We will receive the correct one in the post.
The almost three hour drive home was interesting to say the least. Between Cleve and Venus Bay we saw two vehicles, a truck and a car. 220 km and two vehicles. Wonder why? I can tell you why. It is because there was a severe weather warning and everybody stayed home where it was safe. No traffic but plenty of lightning. And wind. Gusts up to 90km according to the radio. And rain. And then the realisation that we left home in sunshine and calm. We left the skylight open and one of the flaps in the pop-top half open the van. All I could think about for two hours was that we would get home to a disintegrated van. I am pleased to say the van survived intact. However, and there is always a however. However, the skylight above the bed mustn’t have been locked properly because it was now open and it was raining on the bed. It must have happened not long before we got home because the rain hadn’t made it all the way through to the mattress. The doona, sheets and mattress topper will all get dried tomorrow, probably in the wind. We are grateful Frank, did such a good job of building the van, and that I packed a couple of rugs we can sleep under tonight.
On the bright side, we have three dozen oysters and some op shop bargains.

Carter CAT excavator walking system overview
A pressure oil is discharged from the balance valve 16 to the brake pilot valve 20. Release the walking brake in advance to make the excavator walk smoothly. When the system has a shock load (system pressure reaches 368 bar), it is removed by the mutual injection valves 18,19. When the excavator runs downhill at an overspeed, the balancing valve 16 can automatically close the oil return path to slow down the equipment brake. The high pressure generated by closing the oil return path is discharged to the side of the vacuum through the mutual injection valves 18 and 19 to prevent The generation of cavitation. The two check valves 24 provide control pressure oil for the variable valve 21. When the system pressure reaches 306 bar, the shuttle valve 5 provides pressure oil to control the automatic shift valve 6 to cut off the pilot oil to the variable valve 21. In order to realize automatic speed change from high speed to low speed, the working pressure of the system is set by the main safety valve 343bar; the high-pressure oil pumped by the pilot pump 4 goes all the way to the variable speed solenoid valve 7.
Controlled by the solenoid valve 7 to the automatic shift valve 6 and then to the variable valve 21, the valve core is pushed so that the pressure oil from the two check valves 24 enters the piston cylinder that controls the swash plate, and the swash plate tilt angle is changed to achieve speed change; The control valve 8 reaches the pilot control valve 9. The pilot valve 9 is then controlled to operate the left and right travel control valves 12, 14. Control walking or reversing; all the way through the proportional valve to the servo valve to control the pump flow to achieve power shift. 2 All actuators are weak. (1) Operate the joystick. If you do not hear the sound of engine refueling, you can turn on the data output of the maintenance program of the automatic control system (you can also pull out the pressure relay connector and manipulate the control handle. Use a multimeter to check the pressure relay, which should be turned on normally), and check whether the pressure relay has failed If it fails, replace it, otherwise check the engine speed.
If the speed is not normal, check and maintain the engine; (2) Check whether the system has air, and if there is air, exhaust ;; (3) Check whether the suction filter is blocked, and replace the filter; (4) Check The pump's oil outlet pipe is unobstructed; (5) Check the pilot pressure: Connect a 60bar pressure gauge to the pilot pressure measurement point to see if the pressure meets the requirements (the standard is). If it does not match, adjust the pilot pressure control valve. If not, check the pilot pressure control valve: whether the valve core is worn (replaced or repaired), the adjustment spring (standard length) is fatigued or broken (replacement of the spring), whether it is stuck (remove foreign matter), and the pilot gear pump may be faulty when normal , Repair or replace the gear pump; (6) Check the safety valve pressure: Connect two 600bar pressure gauges to the pressure measuring ports of the two pumps.
Then clamp the track and operate the walking pilot handle. If the pressure of the pump is abnormal (standard 343bar), adjust the pressure of the main safety valve to the specified value. If the pressure cannot be increased, check and eliminate the failure of the main safety valve, mainly: A, The cone of the safety valve spool is stuck in the open position by a foreign object (remove the foreign object); B. Adjust the spring fatigue or break (replace the spring); C, the sealing cone of the safety valve is severely worn and closed poorly (repair or replace); D, the damping hole is blocked (remove the blockage), if the pressure of the pump is normal, proceed to the next step;, ( 7) Check the shift pressure: If the shift pressure is too high, the flow of the pump will be too small. Causes slow motion and weakness. You can connect a 60bar pressure gauge to the shift pressure pressure port and start the maintenance program to see if the data displayed on the display is normal and equal to the reading of the pressure gauge.
If it is abnormal, you can adjust it through the maintenance procedure. If it is not adjustable, check and clean the proportional valve to eliminate the malfunction of the proportional valve. If the proportional valve is normal and the shift pressure cannot be adjusted, troubleshoot the electrical system; (8) Check whether the two reverse flow control oil pipes are blocked (or whether the hydraulic control piston is stuck). If it is blocked, it will be cleared (unblocking); (9) Check the flow of the pump: the engine speed is 1800rpm and the output pressure is 9800kpa, the flow rate of the pump is 180l / min, and the use limit is 170l / min. If the flow is too small, adjust the flow adjustment bolt of the pump to adjust the flow. If the requirements cannot be met, it is possible that A, the mating surface of the oil distribution plate and the copper cylinder is worn (grinding the mating surface); B, the compression spring is fatigued or broken (replace the spring); C. The gap between the plunger and the hole is too large (repair or replace the plunger and the copper cylinder); D.
The pump servo piston is stuck in the small flow position (remove foreign matter); E. Servo valve issue card (remove foreign matter); F. The servo valve spring is fatigued or broken (replaced); 3 Only the walking mechanism is weak, (1) Operate the walking control handle, listen to the engine sound, and manipulate the walking control handle, otherwise check and maintain the engine; and (2) Low travel pilot oil pressure: check For travelling pilot pressure, unscrew the plug on the travelling pressure switch connector, connect a 60bar pressure gauge, and operate the travelling pilot handle (the push should be greater than 30bar at the end, and some should be about 18bar); if it is abnormal, check and repair or replace the pilot valve Mainly: insufficient travel (adjustment), too soft pressure regulating spring (replacement), stuck or worn valve stem (removal of blockage or repair, replacement); (3) Checking the pressure of the cross-fire relief valve: before and after The pressure gauge of the pump is connected to a pressure gauge of 600 bar.
Stuck the track and operate the walking joystick. The normal pressure should be 368 bar. If the pressure is not normal, try to adjust the overflow pressure of the mutual injection relief valve. If the height cannot be adjusted, check the cross-fire relief valve. Mainly check the pressure regulating spring for fatigue (replacement) and sealing cone surface (grinding), and remove foreign matter if it is caught by foreign matter. If the mutual injection relief valve is normal and the pressure is not high, proceed to the next step; (4) Check the leakage of the central rotary joint: Disassemble the two high-pressure pipe joints on the left (right) side and plug them with plugs . Operate the walking joystick. If there is a large amount of oil flowing out of the two ports of the rotary joint, it indicates that the leakage is serious, repair and replace the seal (or rotary joint), and then proceed to the next step; (5) Check motor leakage: Disassemble the motor drain pipe. Connect a tubing from the drain to a container.
If leakage is serious. Repair and replace the motor; motor leakage is under 200bar pressure. Each minute does not exceed 15l; (You can also check this way: open the high-pressure oil pipe of the motor and plug it with a plug. Read the pressure value, if the pressure is higher than the original, the motor leaks); (6) Check the multi-way valve : If the multi-way valve stem is stuck in the semi-closed position or the mating clearance is too large, the leakage will be severe, which will cause the action to be weak. The former can be eliminated by removing foreign matter. The latter requires repair of the valve stem and valve sleeve; (To check the leakage of the multi-way valve, you can also use the following method: remove the reverse flow control pipe joint of the pump, connect the three-way joint and a 60 bar pressure gauge, and push the walking handle According to my experience, it is still normal for the pressure gauge reading to be less than 2 ~ 4bar, this method is only for comparison); (7) The brake is not completely released: the reasons why it cannot be completely released are: A.
Brake pilot valve is stuck (cleared) by foreign matter; B. The brake cylinder oil seal is damaged and leaked (replace the seal); C, the oil passage from the balance valve to the brake pilot valve is blocked (cleared). If all are normal, the motor bearing or the reduction mechanism may be stuck. Check for and remove foreign objects. We have encountered this situation in maintenance practice. Weak walking and the engine tends to stall. Check according to (1) in (2) and (4) in (3). It was found that the pressure relay failed and all the rotary joint seals were broken. The suction filter is clogged with debris from the seal, and the seal is replaced. Clean the hydraulic system. Works normally; another example: a CAT320 excavator has this situation. When turning in the mud, it is impossible to make a turn. Everything else is normal. After inspection, we found that the pressure is normal. Later, we learned that the high pressure oil pipe was cracked. | 29hydraulic_engineering | 1 |

When it comes to recording music, communication between the music artist and the sound engineer is critical to producing a masterpiece. In this blog, we'll know the importance of communication in the studio recording process, specifically between music artists and sound engineers.
- Importance of effective communication in the sound recording sessions
Although music artists and engineers have varying specialties and levels of knowledge, both are crucial to the studio recording process. Together, these two parties can produce something that neither could have done separately. However, if there is a breakdown in communication, their efforts may be in vain and have less-than-ideal results. Communication between music artists and sound engineers plays a significant role in creating great music in a studio recording process. Below is mentioned the importance of communication between a music artist and a sound engineer.
- To understand each other's perspective
Because artists and engineers have different perspectives on the same project, communication is crucial during the studio recording process. The musical elements of the recording, such as melody, harmony, and performance, are the main focus of the artists. The technical aspects of the recording, such as microphone placement, signal flow, and mix balance, are the engineers' primary concerns. Although both viewpoints are necessary, if they are not effectively communicated, they may conflict.
For instance, an artist might want a certain instrument or vocal to be prominent in the mix, but the engineer might have a different opinion. They might produce a mixture that neither party is happy with if they don't communicate their ideas. On the other hand, if they communicate well, they can find a solution that pleases everyone and results in a better outcome.
- To increase the efficiency of the process
Communication is essential during the studio recording process as it reduces the likelihood of errors and misunderstandings. Miscommunication can result in a loss of time, energy, and resources. For instance, the engineer might assume that the artist is aware of the technical constraints imposed by the tools, while the artist might assume that the engineer knows exactly what they want. If the end result falls short of their expectations, this may cause frustration and disappointment.
By ensuring that everyone is on the same page, effective communication can help to avoid these kinds of misunderstandings. This entails outlining objectives, expectations, and constraints before the recording session even begins. It also entails being receptive to comments and recommendations from both parties.
- To better collaborative Process
And finally, good communication between music artists and engineers can result in a deeper comprehension of the studio recording process. Both parties stand to gain from this as they can both learn from one another and develop a deeper understanding of the various elements of the recording process. An engineer might develop a deeper understanding of the creative process and musicality, while an artist might gain a better understanding of how the tools and signal flow can affect their sound.
Communication between music artists and sound engineers is critical in the studio recording process. A fruitful collaboration between the two can result in the creation of a masterpiece that not only meets the artist's vision but also exceeds the expectations of the audience. As a result, both parties must collaborate to ensure that their communication is effective and productive in order to create a high-quality sound recording.

Make sure to lay the sod is laid properly.Pull all the weeds and break up any clods of soil. Make sure the soil is flat and compacted. Make sure you work with a moist all the way through. Lay the sod in straight rows, keeping the joints set off from one another.
You will need to properly lay sod. Prior to laying the sod, prepare your soil. Break the soil into fine tilth and make sure you remove any weeds as well. Flatten your soil and make it slightly compact. Water the soil until it is saturated. Then lay the sod in staggered rows so the joints are offset. Firm the sod down to form a flat, even surface, and fill in any gaps between the sod with a little soil. According to your climate, you will likely need to water the new sod daily over a period of a couple of weeks. This will insure proper root formation and establishment.
Plant perennials that repel slugs. Slugs and snails are voracious eaters that can decimate a plant literally overnight. These pests are particularly fond of young perennials and those varieties with leaves that are tender, smooth, particularly seedlings and young plants. Some perennials are not preferred meals for snails and slugs, particularly perennials that have hairy, tough leaves or a taste that isn’t appetizing. Some of these plants include achillea, heuchera, campanula, hellaborus, and euphorbia.
Brighten your flower beds with annuals and biennials. You can also use these flowers to fill any spaces between shrubs or perennials. Some excellent choices include rudbeckia, petunias, sunflower, rudbekcia, or sunflowers.

Wear hats and sunglasses, sunglasses and sunscreen to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun. Protecting yourself from the sun is the best way to prevent sunburns and skin cancer later in life.
If you find that you have soil that has high amounts of alkaline, mix used coffee grounds throughout the soil. This is a great and cheap way to increase the acid levels in your dirt. When you use them, you will start to notice that your vegetables are tastier and more vibrant in color.
If you’re growing indoor organic plants, it is vital to make sure that the right amount of light reaches them. If you are living in a place that does not have a lot of natural sunlight, it makes sense to grow only those varieties meant to thrive in such environments. You could also try using grow-lights for this exact purpose.
Do not rush planting seeds.You should start by adding moisture to the soil.Bury them 3 times as deep in relation to the size that they are. Some seeds should not want to bury because they require light to grow.
Make sure you work in your garden. Don’t waste your time looking around for your tools. Prepare all the tools you need before you go out to work on your garden, and then put them away neatly when finished. If you need, try using some pants with pockets in them.
Deciduous shrubs and young trees need to be protected. If you have them in pots, you need to guard them from cold weather that will damage or kill them. Tie together the tops. Once the canes are snugly together, put a sheet over the wigwam. You will protect your shrubs from the cold without having to cover them in plastic, which can cause rot.
Coffee grounds are good addition to your soil. Coffee has a lot of essential nutrients that growing plants need.
Try not to let the chores associated to your organic garden at least a short time each day. Even if you can’t tend to your garden daily, you can try little things that will prevent you from having a lot of work when you return to your garden. For example, snatch out a weed or two whenever you pass by the garden, take the time to pull out a few weeds.
Create raised beds with stone, bricks or untreated wood. Choose a wood that is resistant to rot and is untreated.Some good woods are locust, locust and cypress. In order to avoid toxic substances from getting into the ground and perhaps into your vegetables, don’t use treated wood since its chemicals can leech into the food crops and soil.If you have built a bed with treated lumber already, line it with a barrier of some form.
Many people delight in the taste of fresh mint leaves, but become frustrated when the plant spreads wildly. Keep the growth under control by growing them in a large gardening pot instead. This container can be placed in the soil if you prefer the look of mint in your garden, and it will continue to contain the roots of your mint and prevent it from taking over.
You can skip watering because of the pending weather.
The garlic will be matured when the tops area turns brown.
The best option available to water your organic garden is with a soaker hose.
Make sure that you divide your irises! You can increase the number of irises you have by splitting clumps that are overgrown. You can do this by simply picking up bulbous irises once the foliage has withered. The bulbs will then split naturally in the palm of your hand and if they’re re-planted, they can flower next year. Use a knife to carefully divide rhizomes. Cut the center out of each rhizome but save the pieces. Don’t plant any pieces that don’t have any strong offshoots. Replant your pieces right away.
Organic gardening has been made easy with just a few simple techniques. You should plan your landscaping by using native grasses, bushes and grasses.If you choose groups of plants that all mesh with each other in terms of optimal soil conditions, weather requirements and plant interaction, you can cut the amount of fertilizer and pesticide you might need. Native plants will also reap the benefits of compost made compost.
Try planting your organic garden a beautiful shade garden. You might be interested to know that gardens of this type are relatively easy to maintain. They do not require as much water, which saves a lot of work and time. This will also lead to slower growth, but there will also be less weeds to take care of in the garden.
There are many different plants that you can plant in your garden. Mulch is the friend of plants that require acidic conditions.These types of plants need to be mulched with thick layer of pine needles around fall each year.
Get a wheelbarrow, and a stool so that you can kneel down while gardening. It can be very uncomfortable on the knees when working so close to the ground, so a light, portable stool makes gardening easier. In addition, maintaining a garden typically means moving around heavy dirt and other objects, which makes buying a wheelbarrow a very smart purchase.
Even with insects present, you can avoid the damage they cause, keeping everyone happy.
Weeds are the bane of in a regular garden as well as an organic garden. This method is much safer for both you and the environment.
Plant your landscaping trees in places that their branches stop the sun’s rays from reaching your house. Your home will benefit from natural cooling by shading your utility bill.
Don’t use broad-spectrum pesticides for your garden. These strong pesticides are non-selective, killing beneficial insects as well as pests. Beneficial bugs usually have more sensitivity towards pesticides than bad ones. Therefore, if the number of beneficial bugs drops, the problem with pests can get bigger. When this happens, you will spray another round of pesticides to get rid of the pests, thus creating a never-ending cycle for yourself.
Using plenty of mulch is a wonderful method to conserve water in your garden at home. You can get it from the store, composted lawn trimmings, or you can purchase them at a gardening supply store. The important thing is to have an adequate supply of it.
Mulching can be one of the most effective gardening tips. Mulching also works to slow water evaporation in your soil and helps keep out the weeds.
The more you know about the ins and outs of organic gardening, the more effective you’ll be. Keep in mind that these pointers are simply the tip of the iceberg.
If you want to keep dogs our of your garden, take some aftershave, old perfume, or any other scented item and spray the grass around the area. This can help mask any scents which attract animals so pets will now avoid the garden. | 1agronomy | 1 |

A former Japanese American internment camp in the southeastern corner of Colorado where more than 7,000 people were incarcerated during World War II could soon become a national park.
Legislation introduced Wednesday by Reps. Ken Buck, R-Colo., and Joe Neguse, D-Colo., would designate Amache, also known as the Granada Relocation Center, as a national historic site. It is one of 10 military-style prisons where people of Japanese descent were incarcerated during the first months of World War II.
“The nation is better today because of the lessons we have learned from our past. Preserving Amache serves as one of those hard lessons for the people of Eastern Colorado and the rest of our nation,” Buck, who represents the district where Amache is located, said in a statement.
The bill follows up on the Amache Study Act, also introduced by Buck and passed in 2019 as part of a conservation package, that directed the Department of the Interior to study the site’s historical significance to determine its suitability as a national park.
In October 2020, Otero County Commissioners signed a letter to the National Park Service in support of designating it a national park.
On the site still remains the cemetery, reservoir, a water well and tank, the road network, concrete foundations, watch towers, the military police compound and trees planted by the internees, according to the National Park Service.
Currently managed by the Amache Preservation Society, the site was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1994 and designated a national historical landmark in 2006. If it becomes a historic site, the National Park Service would take over management.
Neguse is the chair of the House Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands. He said that the internment of Japanese Americans is one of the “darkest scars” in American history, especially significant in Colorado.
The designation of a national park could “provide education for future generations on this dark time in our nation’s history, as well as healing and honor to those that lived it,” he said.
What others are reading: As Colorado aims to reduce its prison population, Arkansas Valley officials fear a financial cliff
Former Rep. Mike Honda was interred at Amache with his family beginning in 1942.
“I hope that Congress will pass the Amache legislation to build on Congress’s bipartisan leadership to acknowledge that what happened to Japanese Americans was wrong and to help us live as one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all," Honda said.

This morning I eventually got myself out of bed for a run. After Saturday’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad run I really did not want to go out today. Luckily I had new shoes to motivate me.
Then I opened the door and felt how nice it was and all of my negativity about the run slipped away.
It was so nice, in fact (this is clearly all relative…ask me in February what I think of running when it’s 70 degrees and that will be a different story), that I decided to do my more challenging 7 mile route that I thought up a few weeks ago. There are several major hills. One particularly is just super long, plus several short but steep hills.
I was about done and realized I was going to be a bit short so I added a bit. Turns out my addition was quite a bit longer than I thought so my 7 mile run came in at 7.4 miles with an average pace more than 3 minutes fast than Saturday’s run. To be clear: Saturday runs are usually slower than Monday runs but usually by 30-60 seconds…not 3:20! | 58sports | 1 |

News of the raised alert comes as the country's nuclear safety watchdog saidthat radiation emissions equivalent to 10 percent of Chernobyl have leaked from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
The incident at the facility was sparked by last month's earthquake and tsunami, which killed more than 13,000 people, with around 14,500 people still missing.
|AFP - Protesters hold placards while marching in front of the headquarters of Tokyo Electric Power Company in Tokyo.|
The regrading to a "major accident" puts Fukushima on a par with the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, the world's worst ever peacetime nuclear event. The meltdown at Chernobyl in the then Soviet Union spewed a large volume of toxic radiation, poisoning large areas of land and affecting thousands of lives.
Officials said it was difficult to estimate exactly how much radiation had been released in Japan's nuclear emergency. But available estimates "show levels equivalent to Level Seven," a safety agency official said.
Workers at Fukushima Daiichi are battling to control overheating reactors whose cooling systems were knocked out by last month's enormous waves.
The re-assessment from level five on the scale came as Japan was rocked by yet another powerful aftershock from the 9.0 magnitude quake that unleashed a devastating tsunami on March 11.
The 6.2 magnitude tremor hit 77 kilometres east of Tokyo on Tuesday and swayed buildings in the capital, temporarily shutting down subway services and halting bullet trains. US geologists originally put the magnitude at 6.4.
In a fresh setback, a fire broke out early Tuesday morning at a battery unit outside a building at the No. 4 reactor unit, but was quickly extinguished and did not spread to other areas, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power said.
The operator said it was not related to Tuesday's quake.
Already frayed nerves had been pushed further Monday after coastal areas were put on alert for a tsunami up to one metre (three feet) high after a 6.6 magnitude quake, which was known to have killed at least one person, Jiji Press reported.
Japan's meteorological agency withdrew the warning less than an hour later as the nation marked a month since the monster quake and towering tsunami of March 11.
Tokyo said Monday it was augmenting the evacuation area around the plant because of long-term health worries, even as the government said the danger of a large leak of radioactive materials was fading.
"The possibility that the situation at the nuclear plant will deteriorate and lead to new leakage of massive radioactive materials is becoming significantly smaller," chief government spokesman Yukio Edano told reporters.
He later told reporters the government was concerned over the effect of long-term exposure to radiation and would be ordering people to leave certain areas more than 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the plant, which are currently outside the exclusion zone.
But Edano said a uniform extension of the zone was not appropriate.
The assessment that the bulk of the danger had passed seemed to jar with Tuesday's reports that the government is boosting its assessment of the incident.
Kyodo reported that preliminary figures from Japan's Nuclear Safety Commission revealed the battered plant released 10,000 terabecquerels of radiation per hour for several hours at one point after the March 11 disasters.
According to the International Nuclear Events Scale, level seven incidents are ones with a "major release of radioactive material with widespread health and environmental effects requiring implementation of planned and extended countermeasures."
People around the country had fallen silent at 2:46 pm Monday in remembrance of the victims of Japan's worst catastrophe since World War II.
Around 150,000 people are still in emergency shelters after losing their homes or being evacuated from around the leaking Fukushima Daiichi plant. | 44nuclear_science | 1 |

Intel’s advances in the high performance computing field are being showcased this week at Super Computing ’08 in Austin, TX. Among the highlights is the work Intel is doing with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) which uses some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers to predict weather and climate change. Its latest 3D atmospheric model, the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF), is being used by the National Weather Service, U.S. military and private meteorological services to improve forecasting accuracy and speed. Early tests using Intel’s next generation microarchitecture show that NCAR has nearly tripled the speed of WRF modeling compared to previous Intel based solutions. The lightning quick modeling will speed the pace of discovery and benefit the general public by providing forecasts that help protect life and property. | 4atmospheric_science | 1 |

And as you may know, most of the work of painting is in the preparation. Pancho [Panchito's father] and Pedro [17 year old helper], are doing the paint prep which consists of hand sanding with a special DuPont liquid product.
This painting prep work is a tough stoop labor type of activity. I have traveled for several years throughout the Country of Mexico. I've talked to hundreds and hundreds of Mexicans who do this kind of labor here, and in the USA too. Most of these laboring people begin at a very young age to work in the fields. Perhaps as early as seven years old.
I believe that this early conditioning causes a fundamental change in the emotional makeup of these laborers. They become able to do sustained labor. Backbreaking labor. Without stopping. Just grinding on, hour after hour. No complaints. Just work!
Note: I thought that this DuPont product was for cleaning. Actually, it is a filler, similar to Bondo.
1:30PM - Mixing
Mixing the paint is very surprising for me. Because the paint is thinned out so much with reducer and catalyst. I remembered back in 2007, the painter at the shop of Jose the Fiberglass Guy, the painter thinned out the paint a great deal too.
2PM - Spraying the roof
This is an exciting moment. I've been thinking about and planning the renovation of Tioga's roof for several months. Now, the moment is here! And the fresh white paint looks sooooo good!
There will be four coats of paint. Or, as they say here, "Cuatro pasos". | 47painting | 1 |

EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso has met a range of players involved in drawing up a package for Greece over the past two days and is convinced a solution can be found, with political backing today and details on Tuesday, the source said.
“(Any package) should include two elements: Greece needs to do whatever is necessary, including additional measures, to ensure deficit reduction targets for this year are met,” the source said.

Caterpillar's stock is doing so well, in fact, that it's the second-best-performing component on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI 1.98%), which itself is fighting to stay in the black, up by 22 points an hour before the market closes.
For the three months ended March 31, the heavy-equipment maker earned $880 million on $13.2 billion in revenue compared to last year's $1.6 billion in net income on almost $16 billion in sales. On a per-share basis, Caterpillar earned $1.31, missing the consensus estimate by $0.09 per share, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The impetus for the decline was twofold. First, the continued economic malaise in the United States and disturbing trends out of Asia are putting a damper on demand for the company's high-priced items. Domestic sales were down 20%, while sales in Asia were down 21%. Trying to put it in the best light possible, Caterpillar's CEO said:
As we began 2013, we were concerned about economic growth in the United States and China and are pleased with the relative stability we have seen so far this year. In the United States, we are encouraged by progress so far and are becoming more optimistic on the housing sector in particular. In China, first quarter economic growth was slightly less than many expected, but in our view, remains consistent with slow growth in the world economy.
And the second impetus has been a dramatic fall in commodity prices, which further affected demand for Caterpillar's mining equipment. With this in mind, the company's 2011 acquisition of Bucyrus International, a company that specializes in mining machinery, appears bittersweet. On one hand, Caterpillar predicts that sales of Bucyrus products will fall by as much as 15% this year. But on the other hand, Caterpillar predicts that its own eponymous brand of mining equipment will see its sales figure cut in half.
With this in mind, the company cut its guidance going forward. It now expects to earn $7 per share this year, down from a range of $7 to $9 per share predicted earlier. | 59statistics | 1 |

Critical Feminism ( week 9) : Seeks to disrupt the power to name, represent, and theorize by challenging western
feminism and development discourses arrogance and ethnocentrism and incorporate the voice of marginalized
people. McEwan states that since the 1980s, black feminists in particular have explored the ways in which feminism
is historically located in the dominant discourses of the west, a product of western cultural politics and therefore
reflecting western understandings of sexual politics and gender relations. Western feminists have been criticized for
universalizing their own particular perspectives as normative, essentializing women in south as tradition bound
victims of timeless, patriarchal cultures, and reproducing the colonial discourses of mainstream, male stream
- Western feminism is a form of cultural imperialism
- Gender oppression is linked to other form of oppression ( e.g. : multiple form of oppression)
Prescription for change
- Reject universal generalizations about women in favor of politically focused, local analysis.
- Position the researcher in relationship to power
- MULTIPLE FORMS OF OPPRESION FACED BY WOMEN.
- ALLOWS FOR COMPETING VOICES AMONG WOMEN

- CREATES DIVISIONS BETWEEN WOMEN AND UNDERMINES THE POTENTIAL FOR

- What the central contributions and criticism of critical feminism are for understanding under development?
2. Market Environmentalism ( week 10) : suggest that the free market property rights and the rule of law provide
the best tools to preserve the health and sustainability of the environment.
According to Mcmichael „market environmentalism‟, this project has so far had the effect of generating further
greenhouse gases (GHG), which, given naturalistic conceptions of the
market, legitimises new cycles of green accumulation. The consequences are a rise in carbon emissions and a
deepening of human displacement, which, in turn, renews the legitimacy of the project of global development and its
market crusade at the expense of alternative pathways to sustainability.4 In short, the recycling of the neoliberal
market truth, as a convenience for the development establishment and its corporate partners, represents a deeply
inconvenient truth for humankind and its ecological foundations.
„market environmentalism‟ is seen as the solution, rather than the problem, turning agrofuels,
like food, into a global commodity, rather than encouraging local biofuels for local energy sovereignty (on the
model of „food sovereignty‟). The problem with the global ecology regime is that it fractures the relationship
between social and ecological sustainability.

- Edition: Paperback
- Published: June 15th, 2016
- Genres: Fiction, Thriller, Mystery, Suspense
- Star Rating: ★★★☆☆
Wow, this book was… a lot to process to say the least. YOU is about a bookstore manager named Joe who falls desperately, madly, and scarily in love with Guinevere Beck. A young Brown student who finds herself in his crosshairs after passing through his shop. What makes YOU unique is that the entirety of the story is told through Joe’s point-of-view. His very scary, violent, and downright filthy POV.
** Spoilers ahead. **
If this book were written by a man I doubt I would have even picked it up to begin with. As it stands, I already felt disgusting and dirty reading parts of it. Kepnes is excellent at creating a sense of foreboding, a sense of utter disgust with what her centric character is doing. Seriously, once I finished this book I felt like I needed to jump in the shower immediately. (Partly because Kepnes made me read the phrase “pussy juice” about ten times). I have to give her credit for not writing Joe in a sympathetic light. I never felt as if she wanted asking her readers to like Joe, just to understand his motives and his delusions.
YOU is an engaging, addictive, and well-written read. Earlier this year I read Kepnes’ latest novel, Providence, and she has an established style. She is able to write beautiful prose passages with lasting images and eloquent descriptions. Although, I did not like Providence as much as this book (despite giving it a similar rating) I still found YOU to be more urgent and gripping than that one.
I originally intended to give this book four stars, but what stopped me and ultimately forced me to dock it a star, was the ending. I understand that YOU is a psychological thriller, a horror basically, and sometimes the bad guys win, especially within this particular genre. However, I was really hoping, and even anticipating, that Beck would somehow escape or Joe would be forced to pay for what he’d done. I wanted this guy to face consequences and maybe this is my own reader bias getting in the way of the story but I was frustrated that he didn’t.
Actually, I would have been happy with him just escaping and moving away and maybe the cycle of stalking continues under a new identity in a new town, I could have lived with that too. Instead we had a horribly hopeless ending. I’m not sure if we were supposed to feel like Beck got what she deserved? I hope not because I sure as hell don’t feel that way. Instead we had yet another story of a man systematically destroying a woman’s life and ultimately murdering her when she didn’t return his feelings and I was left with a bad taste in my mouth.
BONUS: FLASH REVIEW OF YOU ON LIFETIME
When I started the show, I hadn’t read the book yet at all. Now that I have, I’m sure I’ll be a little more biased in my opinions of the show but thus far, I’ve been impressed. It’s a sleek, modernized, and inventive thriller. One that taps into a primal fear which directly correlates with a tech-savvy and sophisticated era. The idea of someone stalking you when all of our personal information is so easily within grasps by just a few clicks on the internet is terrifying to say the least.
Penn Badgley is perfectly cast as Joe. He’s haunting, sinister, but also charming. He’s likable, which makes him even more dangerous. He could be anyone.
So far, the show has been pretty damn accurate to the book. I’ve actually been surprised by how many tiny tidbits and lines of dialogue have made it from page to screen. That said, I’m really hoping the show takes some liberties with the ending, seeing as how it was my least favorite part of the book.

I wasn’t terribly awake between the long flights and jet lag so Ted created the menu this week and did the bulk of the cooking this week. It was a tasty meal.
Chicken and Sausage Bake
Buttered Egg Noodles with Dijon-Scallion Compound Butter
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Assorted cookies and brownies for dessert
There were 12 of us for dinner this week (8 adults and 4 children).
We like the chicken and sausage bake because it takes maybe 5 minutes of prep and cooks up quickly in a hot oven.
We subscribe to a weekly cookie club and the bags of tasty treats were piling up in the cookie jar. So we skipped making a dessert this week and asked our friends to help us catch up on our duties.

Find out what it means for an isotope to be radioactive and how the half-life of carbon allows scientists to date organic materials. The different versions are called isotopes.
Let's Model Radioactive Decay to Show How Carbon Dating Works
Radioactive material gets a bad rap, what with radiation and fallout and nuclear waste and all. But it offers some practical uses. One of the coolest OK, maybe the coolest is using radioactive carbon to determine the age of old bones or plants.
Scientists look at half-life decay rates of radioactive isotopes to estimate when a particular atom might decay. A useful application of half-lives is radioactive dating. This has to do with figuring out the age of ancient things. It might take a millisecond, or it might take a century.

The men believed to be Nepalese nationals had planned to camp over the weekend at Crosslands Reserve in the Berowra National Park after arriving on Friday afternoon.
One the men's partners sounded the alarm about 7pm and emergency services arrived around 7.30pm where a man was pulled from the water with breathing difficulties.
"They said they couldn't swim and they panicked, and that's when we got told to run over," eyewitness Neesha Bozinovsky told Nine News.
He was airlifted to hospital in a serious condition.
A search was conducted for two other men, aged 26 and 23, who had failed to resurface before police divers located and retrieved their bodies around 11.30pm.
"I don't know what happened, they must have just sunk down there in the muddy water," Daniel Lohini, one of the victim's uncle told Nine News.
A report will be prepared for the coroner. | 31journalism_and_media_communication | 1 |

And, let me ask you a question - have you ever heard of pork bellies anywhere except on the noon farm report?
Thus challenged, I walked into the meat shop, thinking they might laugh at me looking for pork bellies, but, not so! They simply asked "how many pounds?" and "with or without the skin?" (That last question threw me, so I tried to look intelligent and asked, what do you think?)
This is how I started the long process of making bacon from fresh pork belly (which is the meat on the underside of the pig - not a pig's stomach!) -
Buy 2# of fresh pork belly - without the skin, thank you.
Mix together kosher salt, brown sugar and pepper.
Spread about half the salt mixture evenly in a large pan. Place the meat in the center of the pan and gently press it into the salt mix.
Pack the remaining salt mixture over and around the pork.
Refrigerate, uncovered, for 6 to 7 days.
There is one more waiting period after the meat comes out of the salt. So, in two weeks, I hope to report that we are loving our nitrate-free, home-cured bacon.
And if I don't report? Be kind... please?
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. Psalm 27:14 | 22food | 1 |

REGIONAL- The COVID-19 pandemic appears to have helped reverse a decades-long trend of declining population in rural parts of Minnesota. That change is noted in the Center for Rural Policy and Development’s annual “State of Rural Minnesota Report 2022,” which outlines demographic and economic trends.
The biggest loser, according to the report, was the seven-county Twin Cities metro area, with a net loss of 19,764 people from 2020 to 2021. That ended more than a decade of year-to-year growth averaging around 10,000 new residents per year.
Counties like St. Louis County, classified in the urban/town/rural category for statistical analysis for this report reaped the largest benefit from this outmigration, adding 5,574 people. St. Louis County itself experienced a net gain of 811 residents from 2020 to 2021. The Arrowhead region as a whole saw a net gain of 1,252 people.
“This sudden shift in migration can be due to a lot of things—the pandemic, housing prices, perceptions about crime, as well as college students choosing to take courses online instead of migrating to urban colleges,” said CRPD researcher Kelly Asche. “Time will tell if these trends hold or if they will go back to pre-pandemic patterns. Such a shift would be a significant deviation from the norm.”
Counties classified as wholly rural also picked up population, gaining 518 people due to migration. Town/rural counties lost an average of 967 people per year due to migration between 2010 and 2019 but gained 2,622 people from 2020 to 2021. Any trends noted for Greater Minnesota’s rural areas can be inferred to reflect the experience in St. Louis County, outside of Duluth, but are not broken out in the data.
The report notes that these shifts are sudden and modest, and that population across much of Greater Minnesota is still expected to decline over the next 20-30 years.
Average earnings in St. Louis County were the best in the Arrowhead region at $61,332, approximately $6,000 higher than in Koochiching and Carlton counties and $8,000 higher than Itasca and Lake counties. Household incomes in rural parts of Minnesota continued to run below the statewide average of $70,886.
That wage differential is offset by the difference in the cost of living. For a two-parent family with one wage earner and two children, the cost of living in St. Louis County was calculated to be $53,003, about $15,000 lower than for the same family living in the Twin Cities metro.
Nearly 35 percent of the jobs in St. Louis County are in education and health services, a trend reflected throughout greater Minnesota, and those jobs, on average, pay about 10 percent above what is needed to cover the cost of living for a two-parent family with one wage earner and two children. Government jobs represent 13.6 percent of the total, about 16,000 jobs. Almost 12,000 people are considered to be self-employed, 9.6 percent of the county’s total employment.
Leisure and hospitality jobs show the greatest discrepancy between average pay and cost of living. The report indicates that the average leisure and hospitality job in St. Louis County pays $383 per week, only 37.6 percent of what is needed to cover the cost of living, estimated to be $1,019 for the above-described household.
Reflective of the challenge employers in the northeast have faced in filling job vacancies, the report notes that job vacancies in Greater Minnesota are at their highest levels at any point since 2005. This increase is largely due to retirements in the workforce as well as continued economic growth. Calculated by comparing the average quarterly job vacancies as a percentage of total jobs, the pressure on the economy in the northeast is 9.4 percent for 2021, significantly higher than the 5.8 percent mark in 2018, previously the highest mark since 2005. Not surprisingly, employers have been offering increased wages for vacant positions, according to the data.

Facts about Snakes:
Snakes are legless, carnivorous reptiles – a suborder of Serpentes. Snakes are ectothermic and covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. To fit their narrow bodies, snakes’ paired organs appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung.
Living snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica, and on most smaller land masses; exceptions include large islands as Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, Hawai and the islands of New Zealand, and many small islands of the Atlantic and central Pacific oceans. More than 20 families are currently recognized, comprising about 520 genera and about 3,600 species.They range in size from the tiny, 10.4 cm (4.1 in)-long thread snake to the Python of 6.95 meters (22.8 ft) in length. Snakes are thought to have evolved from either burrowing or aquatic lizards, perhaps during the Jurassic period, with the earliest known fossils dating to between 143 and 167 Ma ago. The oldest preserved descriptions of snakes are found in the Brooklyn Papyrus.

The last one to be launched was U-4712, in April 1945, with a total of 63 Type XXIII U-boats being completed out of the 280 submarines originally planned, but only six entered service. These elektroboats, as this type of German submarines were known, carried out secret operations off the British, French, and Dutch coasts, sinking only six enemy ships during their ten operational patrols. Although it was considered a very advanced submarine, by the time they were introduced Germany was already losing the war and it was too late to make a difference as the German factories and infrastructure were being leveled to the ground by Allied bombing raids.
Like the Type XXI U-boats, the Type XXIII was a double-hull design, but had a smaller power plant, which consisted of two 580-hp electric motors and one single MWM diesel engine. The battery was fitted in the space between the two hulls. It could remain underwater for a much longer period of time than conventional submarines at that time could do, and it was able to sail faster submerged than on the surface. Designed for local deployment on coastal waters, it was only about 35 m (114 ft) long and 3 m (10 ft) abeam. So, it was small and cramped and had a crew of only 16 sailors and officers.
Type: coastal attack submarine
Length: 34.7 m
Beam 3 m
Draft: 3.6 m
Displacement: 230 tons on the surface, and 250 tons submerged
Maximum speed: 22 knots submerged and 10 knots on the surface
Armament: only two 533-mm torpedoes (pre-loaded) | 66weapons_science | 1 |

The flight was scheduled to depart Sydney, New South Wales at 0600 on a passenger service to Perth, Western Australia. At about 0430, the captain of QF 565 downloaded the weather package and flight plan onto his iPad.
At about 0440, the company meteorologist advised the dispatcher that a new terminal aerodrome forecast (TAF) had been issued for Perth, which required QF 565 to have an alternate destination due to forecast fog and the dispatcher produced a new flight plan for the flight.
The crew arrived at the airport before 0500. The FO downloaded the flight plan and weather (briefing package) at about 0504. The flight plan downloaded by the FO was the original flight plan, despite dispatch having released the new plan prior to this time.
The crew reviewed the information and noted that there were no weather requirements for Perth and that they both had the same flight plan. The captain noted that their initial cruising altitude was flight level (FL) 320. The crew completed the briefing and requested 32.1 tonnes of fuel be uploaded and the flight departed at about 0600. When at the top of climb, the captain retrieved the deck log and noticed that the initial flight level on the log was different to the initial planned level and a departure fuel of 45 tonnes on the log and realised that they were using the original, incorrect, flight plan data. Due to improving weather at the Perth, the flight was able to continue to the destination.
As a result of this occurrence, the aircraft operator has highlighted the occurrence to the dispatch team and issued an Internal Notice to Airmen (INTAM) to the flight crews to ensure they are in receipt of the latest flight plan data before flight.
This incident highlights the importance of ensuring vital information is relayed to crews in a timely manner.

Being alone is not being lonely for me, it is being safe and it is a way to heal.
This year of anger, rage, violence, and virus is different from my other years of aloneness. I feel isolated from my fellow citizens, and the isolation I live in is somewhat forced, not voluntary. We can’t invite our friends over, we can’t go to their homes.
We went to the farmer’s market today and the virus rate is rising around here, I had to sit outside in the car while Maria went in. I felt especially useless – and alone.
I don’t know that I need to see a lot of people, but I like to know that I could if I wished to.
The vaccine process is chaotic and bewildering to me, as to everyone else. I went on the New York State website and found a vaccine site in Plattsburg, N.Y., they can give me a vaccine sometime in March.
It easy to sign up, Plattsburg is to the North of us. The site is several hours away from the farm.
No one can tell me why there are no vaccines available that are closer, some places have run out, some have yet to receive any doses. Almost everyone I know is finding a vaccine somewhere, I can see the partial end of this now, probably sometime in the summer or fall.
Even our warring politicians can’t stop this.
Maria thought it was good that I signed up somewhere, and it does feel good. She has been worried about me.
We very much enjoy our time together, but I notice both of us are working on deepening and enriching the friendships we have.
Maria Zooms with her friends, walks with them, texts back and forth. She has good friends, she is a good friend.
These friendships are deepening, being seeded like a flower. They will last, I think.
I like to talk with my friends on the phone.
Tonight, I felt I had to talk to someone, I called my friend Christine Decker, an actress and we kicked some ideas for plays around, I’m always pestering her to write a play, I think she’s thinking about it. I love talking to creative people.
As I talked to Christine, I saw Maria take out one of her notebooks and start sketching. She is an artist every minute of the day, her life and her art are not separate from one another.
I love watching her sketch, a peaceful mist hangs over her, and she enters another world.
In a sense, it was a Covid-19 moment, a tableau out of the Covid life we all are leading, a place she can go to anytime to find the nourishment and connection she needs. | 2artistic | 1 |

If you were hoping that the Subaru WRX STI Type RA might be a moderately-priced performance car like the normal WRX, you were mistaken. Subaru has announced the price for the WRX STI Type RA and the car starts at $48,995 plus $860 for destination and delivery.
The limited-edition model does get some nice standard parts like a carbon fiber roof. There’s a fixed carbon fiber pedestal wing, along with lightweight BBS 19-inch forged alloy wheels, and the spare tire has been ditched for weight savings. The car has an upgraded 310 hp 2.5L turbo boxer engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. It also gets a special suspension and a modified VDC.
Subaru has also priced the much more affordable BRZ tS, with that car starting at $33,495 plus and $860 destination and delivery charge. The car gets special STI tuned suspension, 18-inch wheels, and Michelin Pilot Sport tires along with Brembo brakes. | 63transportation_engineering | 1 |

What Is a Food Safety Consultant?
Food safety consultants give you confidence that your kitchen complies with all regulations. They are an outside pair of eyes to keep you and your kitchen staff on track.
Protecting your customers from getting sick is of the utmost importance. With guidelines that change all the time, having someone else around to work alongside you on this project is a must.
Why Does Your Restaurant Need One?
You may think that everyone knows how to follow basic safety rules like wearing gloves or avoiding cross contamination. But sanitizing daily and checking storage temperatures isn’t everyone’s first priority.
In fact, some employees choose not to read the instructions or cut corners to speed things up. This can lead to failed inspections, or worse, sick clientele.
While you want to have speedy service, you also need to avoid these problems. When you hire a consultant, it’s a lot easier to meet both goals.
Here are three big reasons your restaurant needs a food safety consultant.
There are regulations to follow in any kitchen. No matter which food safety management system you follow, you want to maintain your certifications. Here are some standard food safety certifications:
- BRC certification (most popular) – British Retail Consortium
- SQF from Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)
- FSSC 22000 also from GFSI
You have to follow many guidelines for legal compliance and certification. Staying on top of everything requires a lot of meticulous list-keeping.
If that’s not you, a food safety consultant can help you stay in compliance. Let someone else make the lists and double check them. Having another person on your team to keep track of the nit-picky items is an asset you can’t afford to work without.
When you hire a food safety consultant, did you know you hire extra support? They are they to help organize and manage the system, but they also give advice.
The support an independent consultant gives is invaluable. Your consultant should be able to help with anything from kitchen emergencies to encouragement and recommendations.
While it’s hard to quantify this type of help, the results you see from its implementation won’t be nebulous.
The regulations for these and other organizations or laws change often. It’s hard to keep up with all the requirements.
A food safety consultant keeps up with all the guidelines and assesses your specific needs. They’ll help you change processes or procedures when the rule changes, so that you don’t miss a beat.
You can achieve compliance with the help of a consultant, even with ceaseless updates to the regulations.
How to Choose a Food Safety Consultant
That’s great, you’re convinced that a consultant is important for your restaurant. But if you want to hire one, where do you start?
How do you know that the one you’ve picked out is the right fit for your business? Here are a few questions to ask to make sure you’ve made the best decision.
Do They Have Outside Resources?
Food safety consultants should have access to outside resources because of the field they’re in. Even if they don’t know the answer to a question you have, they should be able to find it within their network of experts and colleagues.
Are They Too Cheap?
Don’t rule out an expensive consultant. Most often, you get what you pay for, and having to pay a little more for quality service is worth it.
Ask all the questions before you go with someone who charges less than their competitors. There’s doubtless a reason they can’t charge the same prices as other consultants you looked at.
Trust your instincts, and triple check before you hire the cheapest option.
Do They Understand the Regulations?
Choosing someone who has memorized the rules won’t help you if they don’t understand them. You need a consultant who has experience applying the rules to the real world.
Being able to recite the rulebook doesn’t mean they can interpret it. Food safety consultants are like the judges in the courtrooms of the kitchen. Instead of quoting it, they have to be able to interpret the law.
Ask your prospective consultant if they have experience in the kitchen. If not, give them some real-life scenarios you have encountered in your own kitchen to respond to. This way you can make sure they know how to handle a difficult situation.
Abiding By Safety Standards
Keeping up with regulations doesn’t have to be a headache you’re used to. A food safety consultant can help you be compliant, keep up with changes, and find the extra support you need.
To choose a consultant, ask some basic questions about their experience, resources, and pricing. Soon your restaurant will be a slick machine, and you will be able to focus on other aspects of the kitchen.
With over 20 years of expertise, TCI can help you achieve these goals. For more about food safety management systems developed around your needs, select a consultant package on our website.
Top 10 Food Safety Tips for Restaurants and Commercial Kitchens
Food safety is one of the most important aspects of running a restaurant. Read on to learn about the top ten food safety tips.
You’re surely aware of salmonella, E. coli, listeria, and norovirus — but did you know that there are over 250 food borne illnesses? Each year, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 48 million people get sick from a food borne illness. Of those, some 128,000 must be hospitalized, and 3,000 die as a result of getting sick from poor food handling practices.
If you supervise a restaurant or commercial kitchen, it is absolutely imperative to understand food safety. We’ve compiled a list of food safety tips to get you started.
Hand It to Safety
One of the most important tips to help keep your commercial kitchen safe is good, old fashioned hand washing. “Employees Must Wash Hands” is more than just a mandatory poster on the kitchen, bathroom, or break room wall.
Make hand washing an iron-clad rule. Train your employees in proper hand washing procedures.. And administer strict and swift consequences for those who don’t follow this rule.
Make Gloves Mandatory
In addition, your workers should be trained in the proper use of gloves. Whenever someone is preparing food in a commercial kitchen, they should be wearing gloves. Not only that, but they should change gloves frequently. New gloves should be worn each time the cooks switch from raw to cooked food, for example, and vice versa.
Far too many food service workers see gloves as magical shields that somehow render germs powerless, no matter what that person does with their hands. If you see staff members wearing gloves while scratching or touching their skin, and then handling food without changing the gloves, stop them. Retrain your staff as necessary.
Clean and Sanitize Equipment Daily
Of course, the equipment in the kitchen must also be cleaned and sanitized not just on the regular, but properly. Your https://www.foodsafetynews.com/restaurant-inspections-in-your-area/ may have specific requirements surrounding food sanitation, so make sure to ask.
In general, you won’t go wrong with hot, soapy water and/or commercial bleach. Wash down all dishes, prep containers, pots and pans, utensils, cooking surfaces, cutting boards, and countertops. Sweep and mop not just the kitchen proper, but also the coolers, freezers, and storage areas.
Set a Regular Deep Cleaning Schedule
It’s also a smart idea to set a firm schedule of how often the entire kitchen should be scrubbed down and cleaned out. Asking your employees to take care of heavy-duty cleaning “as needed” or “when they have down time” is asking for a dirty kitchen that will fail a health inspection.
During a deep clean, tackle the ovens, grills, fryers, and appliances. Don’t forget grease traps, range hoods, fans and vents, lighting fixtures, and the like.
Avoid Cross Contamination When Storing Food…
Raw meat and poultry should be kept entirely separate from their cooked counterparts. In addition, keep them away from vegetables, prepared sauces, rolls or bread, and any other foodstuff.
This practice ought to be a no-brainer. Anyone who’s ever watched even one episode of “Kitchen Nightmares” knows that raw chicken can’t be kept in a bucket with cooked steak. But you’d be surprised how many shortcuts busy kitchen staff will resort to!
The same policy of strict separation goes for knives, cutting boards, utensils, mixing and prep bowls, trays, storage containers, and thermometers. You must have separate prep and cooking tools and supplies for raw poultry, raw meat, raw seafood, cooked proteins, vegetables, and other foods.
Make Proper Food Storage a Priority
Do you understand how different types of food — dry vs. wet, hot vs. cold, vegetables vs. meats — must be stored? Do your employees? You can be certain that the health inspector does, so you should too.
Several factors must be taken into consideration when storing food. Ventilation is important, as is temperature. Container sizes, how those containers are sealed, and how food is rotated in and out of containers and storage areas are all crucial to safety in commercial kitchens.
Never store food directly on the floor, even if it’s in a box or bin. Never store meat on upper refrigerator or walk-in shelves, where it could potentially drip onto other ingredients underneath.
Make sure your employees understand and follow all protocols related to storage.
Follow the Rule of First In, First Out
Want to make certain that your ingredients are as safe as possible, while minimizing the amount of food you need to discard? Be strict about following a “FIFO” policy. FIFO stands for “First In, First Out.” It means that the oldest supplies should be used up first.
There are two super simple ways to accomplish this.
One is to label every box, bag, package or container with the date it arrived in your kitchen. Then, place it behind any existing stock of that same product or supply in the walk-in or on the shelves. That makes it easier for busy chefs to grab the oldest product first.
While FIFO might not be quite as exciting as YOLO or even BOGO, it will help your restaurant or commercial kitchen run more safely and efficiently.
Make Sure Storage Temperatures Are Right
According to the Food and Drug Administration, food should be keep at 41°F or below, while hot food needs to reach 135°F or above.
This is to ensure that harmful bacteria never gets a chance to grow. Keep a thermometer in the refrigerator as well as in the freezer. The refrigerator should operate at 40°F or below, while the freezer temperature must be 0°F or below.
Cook All Food to Temp, Too
Similarly, cooking food to the proper temperature will also prevent food borne illness (as well as dishes returned to the kitchen for being undercooked!). Chicken must be cooked to 165°F. Ground beef, veal, lamb, and pork should reach 160°F. Train your cooks to use thermometers often, rather than relying on the look or feel of a dish to know if it’s thoroughly cooked.
Food Safety Tips Are Not Enough
We’ll be honest: these food safety tips are fairly elementary. Most home cooks understand them, and most of your workers probably know the basics of keeping things clean and sanitary, too.
In order to truly feel confident that your commercial kitchen or restaurant is in compliance with all necessary regulations and guidelines, contact us. We’ll be able to better assess your needs, and help you achieve compliance, by knowing more about your kitchen!
The kind of foodstuff that people eat on a daily basis must be keenly monitored and evaluated to be fit for consumption. Manufactured goods may not be fit for human consumption if some manufacturers do not produce products of required quality thus posing a risk to consumers. BRC food safety is a set of rules that govern the manufacture and packaging of products in a consumer environmentally friendly manner to enable sustainability of all foods.
Companies that are specialized in the production of foodstuffs are monitored to ensure that their food production meets requirements laid down to govern the manufacturers and the retailers in their line of work. The standard was introduced in 1998 and has now been adopted all over the world to thousands of locations in many countries across the globe. This has an important role to play in the economy as it protects the rights of consumers globally.
The British Retail Consortium is a leading trade association among many others in the United Kingdom that is concerned with representation of retailers ranging from small business to large chain stores, independently owned stores and larger departmental stores. This makes up around 80 percent of general retail trade in the United Kingdom. This consortium was formed in 1992 out of a merger between Association of Retailers and Retail consortium.
Facilitation of standardization of safety, quality, fulfillment of legal obligations and operational criteria are all provided in the best interest of consumers whose health must be considered and protected. The first edition was concerned with protocol for food suppliers and technical standards to be observed in manufacturing, packaging and distribution of products. This revolutionized the perception of customers and created awareness of their rights to high quality products and services.
There are several functions that are performed by the BRC and they should be known to consumers for the sake of general interest or for seeking legal action in any case there is a violation of the laid down rules and regulations. One important role is the voicing of rights of the retail industry to the government to ensure they work under the most favorable conditions. They therefore act as the bridge between the government and the retail industry.
Product areas including foods, consumer products and packaging have standards that have been set and must be complied with. Inspectors ensure that any exported products to the United Kingdom have met these requirements before being allowed in. Foodstuffs delivered to supermarkets are also certified before they are displayed on the shelves.
Another area of interest for the BRC is the storage and distribution of foodstuff which must also be done to the standards in order to ensure that no consumer is supplied with stale or damaged products. The interests of this industry are majorly based on price inflation, legislation, value added tax, confidence of consumers and sales. Each of these aspects and factors affecting the industry are considered.
BRC food safety is an important certification for all manufacturers in the foodstuff industry who are intending to meet certain standards. There are online guides that can be acquired and can be employed to comply to the rules and regulations. Strict penalty could be exacted on those companies which ignore these standards.
As food safety certification is becoming a prerequisite for food businesses throughout the world, one of the first decisions is which food safety standard should I choose? In the first place it is recommended to choose as food safety scheme that is widely recognized by selecting a food safety management standard that has been ‘benchmarked’ by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).
Two such GFSI approved schemes which are recognized worldwide and particularly popular in Europe are IFS Food Standard for auditing quality and food safety of food products and BRC Global Standard for Food Safety. IFS Food is a standard for auditing food safety and quality of processes and products of food manufacturers. BRC Global Standard for Food Safety sets out the requirements for food companies involved in processing of foods and preparation of primary products.
Both the IFS and BRC standards are retailer driven and strangely enough both IFS Food and the BRC Standard current editions are issue or version 6. The BRC Standard for Food Safety was originally published in 1998 the current version was published in July 2011. IFS Food was launched in 2003 and is current version 6 was published in January 2012. The BRC standard has nearly 14,000 certified sites in over 100 countries around the world. IFS Food issued over 11,000 certificates in 90 different countries in 2011.
Both IFS and BRC identify 10 key elements where failure to comply would result in a failed audit and non-certification. BRC refers to these as ‘Fundamental’ requirements whilst IFS has specific requirements which are designated as ‘Knock Out’ requirements (KO). Not surprisingly there are several common Fundamental of Knock Out clauses to both the BRC and IFS standards. These are senior management responsibility/commitment, food safety plan/monitoring CCP’s, internal audits, corrective action and traceability. BRC clause housekeeping and hygiene is a fundamental requirement whilst IFS differs in that personnel hygiene is a knock out clause.
There are a few differences, IFS lists recipe compliance as a knock out whereas, BRC specifies Control of operations as a fundamental requirement which covers recipes but is more demanding in its requirements for specified processing and operation conditions such as time and temperature for cooking. Of the other fundamental BRC requirements there is training, management of allergens, layout flow and segregation. In IFS Food the other knock out requirements are raw material specifications are foreign material management and procedures for withdrawal and recall.
The BRC Standard for Food Safety Issue 7 requirements are split into seven sections, IFS Food requirements are split into six sections.
Section 1 in both the BRC and IFS standard covers requirements of the Senior Management in terms of commitment, responsibility, policies, organisation structure and review. IFS Food places a little more emphasis on policies which as well as the obvious food safety and quality also require Senior Management to adopt environmental, sustainability, ethics and personnel responsibilities.
Both BRC and IFS require implementation of a HACCP system based on Codex Alimentarius principles in section 2. BRC has a requirement for specific prerequisite programmes in this section. IFS Food specifies Quality and Food Safety Management System requirements in section 2 whereas BRC Issue 7 section 3 specifies the minimum requirements for a documented Food Safety and Quality Management System. Section 3 of BRC also includes requirements for internal audits, supplier & material controls, corrective action, control of non-conforming product traceability, complaint handling, management of incidents and recalls. IFS section 3 covers Resource Management including human resources, personnel hygiene, protective clothing, contractors and visitors, procedures for infectious diseases, training and staff facilities.
Section 4 of both BRC and IFS prescribe expected site standards for ‘good manufacturing practices’ such as cleaning, maintenance, waste control, pest control, storage, transport and requirements for satisfactory factory design & construction standards, plant layout and product flow. BRC section 4 is titled Site Standards also includes hygiene & housekeeping requirements which IFS mainly covers in section 3. IFS section 4 is titled Planning and Production Process which as well as the good manufacturing practices mentioned has requirements for contract agreement, specifications, product development, purchasing, traceability and allergen management.
BRC Section 5 Product Control prescribes expected product controls including product development, packaging, inspection product release and management of allergens. Section 5 of IFS Food, Measurements, Analysis, Improvements covers requirements for internal audits, inspections process validation, calibration, quantity checking, product analysis, product quarantine, product release, management of complaints, management of incidents, product recall, management of non-conformities and corrective actions.
Section 6 of IFS covers Food defense and external inspections with requirements for defense assessment, site security, security and external inspections. BRC Section 6 prescribes process control requirements including control of operations, quantity control and calibration of instruments.
Section7 of BRC is titled Personnel has requirements for personal hygiene, protective clothing, medical screening and training.
Overall both BRC and IFS Food Safety standards are well established in the UK and Europe being driven over the years by major retailers and both are extremely creditable given that they are benchmarked by GFSI. There is a difference in the auditing reporting in that an IFS Food Audit result is reported as a total score percentage with greater than 95 % being the top level where as in a BRC audit the top grade is A. In addition to this BRC has an option of unannounced audits which are conducted at a random date as opposed to a pre-arranged audit. This scheme is viewed as giving a better indication of the day to day standards operated by the organisation. Sites successfully certified against the unannounced audit programme can achieve grade A+, the highest grade awarded by BRC.
Ultimately certification to either the IFS Food Standard or the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety will provide credibility and emphasises that an organisation is serious about food safety and quality. As part of the process of choosing which certification would be of most benefit it is a good idea to consult key customers and take their preferences into account.
BRC Certification is the most popular food safety certification worldwide. There are many reasons for this including the fact that the two main BRC Standards BRC Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 7 and BRC/IOP Global Standard for Packaging and Packaging Materials Issue 4 are GFSI Approved Standards. The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) carries out a benchmarking process in which a food safety certification scheme is compared to the GFSI Guidance Document. All of the major food safety certification schemes are benchmarked and approved by GFSI.
First introduced in 1998, the BRC Global Standards for Food Safety was the first Standard to be recognised as meeting the GFSI benchmark in 2000. The current edition of the BRC Standards BRC Global Standard for Food Safety is Issue 7 which was published in July 2011. The standard covers food safety management in food manufacturing and packing. The BRC Food Standard was one of the original GFSI Benchmarked schemes and is used around the world with certificates in over 100 countries and has Currently there are over 15,000 sites in 100 countries around the world that have BRC Food Certification.
BRC Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 7 is approved by GFSI for the following scopes:
- D Pre Processing Handling of Plant Products
- EI Processing of Animal Perishable Products
- EII Processing of Plant Perishable Products
- EIII Processing of Animal and Plant Perishable Products (Mixed Products)
- EIV Processing of Ambient Stable Products
- L Production of (Bio) Chemicals
BRC first published the Packaging Standard in 2002. BRC/IOP Global Standard for Packaging and Packaging Materials Issue 4 is the first packaging standard to be benchmarked by GFSI. The standard covers the assurance and hygienic manufacture of packaging materials. Currently there are over 2,000 sites around the world that have BRC Packaging Certification.
BRC/IOP Global Standard for Packaging and Packaging Materials Issue 4 is approved by GFSI for the following scope: M Production of Food Packaging
BRC Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 7 is approved by GFSI for the following scopes:
- 1. Senior Management Commitment
- 2. The Food Safety Plan – HACCP
- 3. Food Safety And Quality Management System
- 4. Site Standards
- 5. Product Control
- 6. Process Control
- 7. Personnel
Suppliers are required to comply with all relevant clauses of the standard; however there are clauses which are regarded as ‘Fundamental Requirements’. Non-compliance with these clauses results in failure to gain BRC certification:
- Senior Management Commitment Clause 1.1
- The Food Safety Plan – HACCP Clause 2
- Internal Audits Clause 3.4
- Corrective Action Clause 3.7
- Traceability Clause 3.9
- Layout, Product Flow and Segregation Clause 4.3
- Housekeeping and Hygiene Clause 4.11
- Management of Allergens Clause 5.2
- Control of Operations Clause 6.1
- Training Clause 7.1
The process of gaining BRC certification will vary with the size and complexity of an organisation and the extent to which food safety system have been developed.
The steps to BRC Food Certification (a similar path can be applied to BRC Packaging certification) are as follows:
Step 1 Obtain a Copy of the BRC Standard – You can purchase and download a copy of the standard from https://www.tsoshop.co.uk/brcbookshop.
Step 2 Training – You will need at least one person who has a good knowledge of the BRC Standard. This can be self taught or there are training courses offered including BRC Approved Partner Training, more details of which can be found at https://www.brctrainingacademy.com
Step 3 Gap Analysis – You will need to carry out a gap analysis to identify where your current food safety management system fails to meet the requirement of the BRC standard. BRC Global Standards Self-Assessment Tool which is provided by BRC as one of their free Guidance Documents here
Step 4 Corrective Actions – Your gap analysis will identify corrective actions that are required in order to meet the requirements of the standard and progress to BRC certification. Quite often these actions will need to be reviewed by Senior Management as financial and human resources could be needed in order to progress. This stage can take quite a lot of time and resource depending on the standards of the facility and the extent of the food safety management system.
Step 5 Choose a Certification Body – You will now need to choose a certification body, you may be aware of local certification body or you can use the BRC Global Standards Directory https://www.brcdirectory.com to find a suitable certification body. There is sometimes some confusion between Accreditation Bodies and Certification Bodies: Accreditation Bodies approve Certification Bodies to ISO/IEC Guide 65 (succeeded by ISO/IEC 17065) Conformity assessment – Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services to ensure that certification bodies operate to acceptable standards. Certification Bodies in turn assess Food Safety Management Systems and Issue BRC Certificates.
Step 6 Agree Scope of the Audit – The scope of the audit should be agreed with the certification body including manufacturing facilities and products.
Step 7 Agree a Contract – The certification body should provide a proposal for the certification process and provide a contract.
Step 8 Audit Planning – A plan for the audit should be prepared with dates and schedule for the audit days. A certification audit normally takes two days but may be longer depending on the size and complexity of the operation.
Step 9 On-site Audit – The On-site audit will consist of a programme that includes the following:
- Opening Meeting – Introductions and confirmation of schedule
- Document Review – HACCP & Quality Management System
- Traceability Challenge
- Production Facility Inspection
- Closing Meeting – Review of findings and summary of non-conformances
Step 10 Non-conformities and Corrective Action – At the end of the on-site audit a summary of the non-conformances found are presented. The organisation then has 28 days to confirm and present evidence of corrective actions.
Step 11 Grading of the Audit & Certification – The Final Audit Report and Certificate should be provided by the certification body within 42 Days of the on-site audit. The audit is graded based on the number and type of non-conformances found. The grading system is A to C for a passed audit. For established organizations a + is added if an unannounced audit is passed.
The audit is graded as follows:
- Grade A up to 10 Minor non-conformances
- Grade B/ 11 to 20 Minor non-conformances
- Grade C 21 to 30 Minor non-conformances or 1 Major non-conformance and 11 to 30 Minor non-conformances or 2 Major non-conformances and 1 to 20 Minor non-conformances
- Production Facility Inspection
- Closing Meeting – Review of findings and summary of non-conformances
A Critical Non-Conformity or a Major Non-Conformity against a Fundamental Clause will result in on-certification and a re-audit at a later stage. Certification is also not granted if there is more than 1 Critical non-conformance, more than 3 Major non-conformances, 2 Major non-conformances and more than 20 Minor non-conformances or more than 31 Minor non-conformances.
Once you have achieved BRC certification there may be opportunities to expand your business, certified organizations are listed in the BRC Global Standards Directory https://www.brcdirectory.com where buyers can access and view the details of your organisation and extent of your certification. | 22food | 1 |

Fireball XL5, a black and white British science fiction children’s show about the adventures of the spaceship Fireball XL5, which was commanded by Colonel Steve Zodiac of the World Space Patrol. The show used AP Film’s ‘Supermarionation’ puppetry technique. I don’t recall Fireball XL5, but I certainly remember its descendant, Thunderbirds (1965)
The Jetsons, the first program broadcast in color on ABC-TV, starting September 23rd: the show only lasted one season (24 episodes), but the original episodes have been in syndicated rerun mode ever since…
Some of the movies:
The Day of the Triffids, based on the 1951 novel by John Wyndham
Dr. No, the first of the Bond films, based on the novel by Ian Fleming.
Gorath (Yosei Gorasu), a Japanese science fiction tokusatsu (‘special effects’) film
And the speculative novels of 1962:
The Jewels of Aptor, Samuel R. Delany’s first novel. Delany will get more attention in future posts.
Little Fuzzy, H. Beam Piper. A popular YA novel (adults have enjoyed it too!) about an endearing ‘fuzzy’ species (the Ewoks in Star Wars may have been modeled after them). In the novel, the creatures are discovered on planet Zarathustra, and the plot revolves around whether or not the fuzzies are sentient. There is an unscrupulous company that would rather not admit the fuzzies’ sentience, and an age-old struggle between the haves and have-nots ensues. Henry Beam Piper was a mysterious man who appeared out of nowhere to become a successful writer. He was previously employed as a railroad yard night watchman; unfortunately, he took his own life in 1964, but his fiction lives on, and can be accessed through Project Guttenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/).
A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L’Engle. I loved this novel when I was young, but when I read it to my daughters I was surprised with the religious references within the story (mainly Christian, but Buddha is mentioned at one point). I must admit, the novel didn’t impress me as an adult; nevertheless, many of the characters are locked in my permanent memory: Meg (of course, she is the protagonist), Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, Mrs Which, IT (the terrifying, telepathic brain), and The Black Thing (pure evil). The novel won a Newbery Medal, the Sequoyah Book Award, and the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award.
Island, Aldous Huxley. I found this novel, which is full of idealistic proselytizing, rather unsophisticated. It is full of good intentions, but felt flat.
A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess. I haven’t read this novel yet, but someday I will. I watched the movie when I was too young and it haunts me.
The Drowned World, J.G. Ballard. A post-apocalyptic novel set in a flooded, future London. Extraordinary solar activity results in increased temperatures, which melt the polar caps and cause world-wide flooding. The Drowned World is unusual for a book of its genre; rather than the standard tropes, the novel examines the changes in the world and humanity in a scientific manner. The central character, Dr. Robert Kerans, is fascinated by the transformations that humanity is undergoing as a result of the rise in temperature and flooding of the planet. He develops a theory that humanity is undergoing metamorphosis (similar to that experienced by insects) due to the environmental pressures of increased isolation forced on individuals. It is a novel, and not a scientific treatise, so Ballard has provided an interesting plot filled with tension and conflict.
Something Wicked This Way Comes, Ray Bradbury. Just before Halloween a carnival rolls into Green Town, a sleepy Midwest city. Two teenage boys, Will and Jim, are ecstatic until they realize there is something truly ominous about the carnival; soon, the proprietors of the carnival turn their evil intentions toward Jim and Will. Ray Bradbury has a gift for evoking the smells, sounds, and textures of a Midwest town in autumn, and he creates an incredible mood in this novel.
The Woman in the Dunes (Suna no onna) Kōbō Abe. An allegorical, Japanese novel. An amateur entomologist, Niki Jumpei, heads out for a weekend bug-hunting expedition and encounters a village in which the inhabitants homes are within deep sand pits. The entomologist is deceived and ultimately imprisoned with an unnamed woman in one of the pits, and he must shovel the constantly seeping sands that threaten to bury the entire village. This novel is written/translated in potent, sparse prose, and is a metaphor for the modern human condition.
And my pick for the Retrospeculative novel of 1962 is…
The Man in the High Castle, by Philip K. Dick (Hugo Award, 1963). I’m not a big PKD fan, but I thought this novel was exceptional, and it was instrumental in defining the sub-genre of alternate history. Philip Kindred Dick was always able to conjure a novel overflowing with ideas, but he was fueled by amphetamines, which I think undermined his prose; however, in The Man in the High Castle, he managed to layer his story in a lucid, refined manner. The novel’s premise is that the Axis won WW II and America was divided between Germany, Japan, and Italy. The plot has odd shifts (as in all PKD books), but the transitions work in the context of the whole, and there is a mythology about the book that maintains that Dick ‘threw’ the I Ching to resolve plot-points (the I Ching is quite prominent in the story). There are several characters, either working for or against the authorities, but most characters are not as they appear. There is also the typical PK Dick theme that asks: how do we know what is real? (One character uses the example of faked antiques. If you put the real and the well-fashioned fake beside each other, how do you tell them apart? They may have different histories, but what makes them different to the perceiver?). Within the book, Dick has also embedded another alternate history novel, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, which is closer to the history of our world: the Allies won the war. But the history in The Grasshopper Lies Heavy is also different from that of our reality (only a few details are given about the contents of The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, which is a proscribed book. Several people, for different reasons, are searching for the author). The novel ends abruptly, and some find it unsatisfactory, but I think it is apropos. In this novel, PKD was able to transfer the extraordinary ideas from his mind to the page with a coherent, concise, and graceful flair. | 18entertainment | 1 |

So we should always pray for each other because prayer creates unity.
What God says about praying for others?
James 5:16 – Pray For Others
“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
What is it called when you pray for others?
Intercession or intercessory prayer is the act of praying to a deity or to a saint in heaven on behalf of oneself or others. …
What is the purpose of a prayer?
Does God answer our prayers? A popular conception of prayer is that if we have faith in God, pray diligently and if the cause we are praying for is a righteous one (like the health of another person), then God will intervene in a supernatural way to make our wish come true.
Why do we ask others to pray for us?
The Bible says, “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us” (1 John 5:14). This is possible because Jesus Christ has bridged the gap between God and us by becoming the final sacrifice for our sins.
How do you pray for healing for someone?
Loving God, I pray that you will comfort me in my suffering, lend skill to the hands of my healers, and bless the means used for my cure. Give me such confidence in the power of your grace, that even when I am afraid, I may put my whole trust in you; through our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
How do you pray for someone?
Here are seven ways you can pray for people you are focusing on:
- Ask Jesus to tell you what to pray for them. …
- Let the Lord know that you’re available to be the answer to the prayer(s) you’re praying for people. …
- Let the people know you’re praying for them and ask if there’s anything they would like you to pray for.
What is the 4 types of prayer?
Forms of prayer. The tradition of the Catholic Church highlights four basic elements of Christian prayer: (1) Prayer of Adoration/Blessing, (2) Prayer of Contrition/Repentance, (3) Prayer of Thanksgiving/Gratitude, and (4) Prayer of Supplication/Petition/Intercession.
Why do I cry when I pray for others?
When you come into the presence of a Holy God, it’s natural for tears to flow. In fact, I would surmise that when you pray with others, they start crying too. Often I’ll cry because I sense God’s tenderness toward me.
Can you pray to be with someone?
Yes you can pray to be in a relationship with someone. However, when investigated, prayer has never been demonstrated to work, be real or provided any desired results. If you would like to be in a relationship with someone, the best choice, demonstrated to be effective, is to talk to that person.
Do prayer change things?
Though our prayers do not change God’s mind, He ordains prayer as a means to accomplish His will. We can be confident that prayer does change things—including our own hearts. … R.C. Sproul argues that prayer has a vital place in the life of the Christian and calls us to come before God’s presence with joy and hope.
Why does God want us to pray?
We turn to prayer because it is the most personal way to experience God, to encounter Him and to grow in knowledge of Him. According to the book of Ephesians, God’s desire is for us to pray “on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests” (Ephesians 6:18).
What are the four main purposes of prayer?
In prayer, Christians lift their minds and hearts to God. adoration – praising God for his greatness and admitting dependence on him. confession – owning up to sin and asking for God’s mercy and forgiveness. thanksgiving – thanking God for his many blessings, eg health or children.
Is it bad to ask for someone to pray for you?
Yes – you can ask Christian people to pray for you. You can also pray this sincerely for yourself. God sees if you’re mean it. … The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, [Jesus Christ], that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
Should you let anyone pray for you?
Your prayers should lead to action (1 Corinthians 14:14-15 ). … Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.) I am sure you don’t pray for someone you’ve never heard or never met before. All prayer indicates a relationship between two people.
Should you tell someone you pray for them?
If you don’t tell the person, then the best that can be achieved by your prayers is… nothing (two reasons, see below). If you do tell the person that you are praying for them, you increase the chances of an undesired (by them) outcome. So, it really depends on your actual wishes for the person. | 10christianity | 1 |

Part one of this article, published in the May 2019 issue of Nuclear News and last Friday on Nuclear Newswire, presented insights from the 1979 accident at Three Mile Island-2 and addressed several issues raised by a previous Nuclear News piece on the accident. Part two discusses safety improvements that have been made by both the industry and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission over the past 40 years.
The TMI-2 accident was beyond the events in the plant’s design basis, which were analyzed in the plant’s final safety analysis report (FSAR). It was most similar to scenarios described in the Reactor Safety Study (RSS), which had been prepared by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the NRC in 1973–1975. The accident shocked the nuclear power community worldwide. It had been thought by nearly everyone that such an accident was only hypothetical and could never happen because of the emergency safety systems that were in place at every nuclear power plant. Hardly anyone beyond the team that prepared the RSS seriously considered that human actions would dominate and would turn an expected, but complicated, event into a beyond-design-basis, severe accident. Fortunately, the plant’s robust design, particularly its reactor vessel and containment, kept radiological releases very small, and the accident produced no physiological health effects.
The bases for many improvements in nuclear plant safety were recommendations made in the Kemeny Report and in the Rogovin Report. Bulletins[6,7,8], lessons learned, and new requirements[10,11] issued by the NRC provided other bases for safety improvement. Industry initiatives, particularly the formation and continuing actions of utility owners groups (OG) associated with each reactor vendor and the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations (INPO), defined and implemented many safety improvements. This article discusses the most important and sweeping improvements; other improvements not covered herein are listed at the end of the article.
EOPs and operator training
The TMI-2 emergency operating procedures (EOP) were based primarily on the plant’s FSAR. Each EOP listed actions, primarily confirmations of automatic equipment responses, to be taken in response to a specific event in the FSAR, such as reactor trip, turbine trip (or loss of load), loss of feedwater, loss-of-coolant accident, steam line break, and steam generator tube rupture. These EOPs are referred to as “event-based” emergency procedures. Each procedure listed certain key symptoms to be used to identify what event was happening (and, hence, indicated which EOP to use), and further symptoms were annotated throughout the procedure to be used to confirm equipment operation. Given the number of symptoms that appeared in the TMI-2 control room, the operators were severely challenged to diagnose the situation and to determine which procedures to use. In fact, they used many normal and abnormal procedures and EOPs simultaneously. Meanwhile, they continued to intervene in the progress of the accident through actions such as throttling the emergency core cooling system high-pressure injection, which was not anticipated in either the FSAR or the procedures.
The TMI-2 operator training for transients and accidents was based primarily on the plant’s FSAR and EOPs. This included training scenarios on the Babcock & Wilcox full-scope control room simulator, which were quite stylized (based largely on the FSAR transient and accident analyses), with little deviation from expectations. Random operator actions were not included in the training scenarios.
The NRC Bulletins[6,7] issued immediately following the accident addressed both emergency procedures and operator training, and the TMI Action Plan[10,11] addressed training simulators. Within days of the accident, OGs associated with each reactor vendor were formed , first to respond to NRC questions and new requirements, and then to address a wide range of nuclear power plant issues well beyond those arising from the TMI-2 accident. A major initial task of each OG was to develop guidelines for new “symptom-based” EOPs[15,16], which were quickly deployed to each plant. These guidelines were used by each plant owner to develop and to implement symptom-based, plant-specific EOPs.
At the time of the accident, there were only five full-scope control room simulators in the United States. These were owned by the four reactor vendors—Westinghouse, General Electric, Combustion Engineering, and Babcock & Wilcox—and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Because of a huge variation in control room designs (determined by both utilities and the architect-engineering firms that built the plants), most reactor operators were trained on simulators that poorly modeled their plant’s control room. The mismatch between the TMI-2 control room and the B&W simulator may have been one of the worst.
In the years following the TMI-2 accident, full-scope control room simulators were deployed at all nuclear power plants in the United States. This trend was continued on an international scale following the Chernobyl accident. These simulators incorporated three major design improvements from those that existed in 1979. First, their control panels closely (or exactly) replicate those of their plants’ respective control rooms. Second, they use extremely fast computer processors. Third, they employ high-fidelity models to represent the plants’ physical processes, including reactor kinetics and reactor coolant system thermal-hydraulics; this feature is made possible by the second improvement. Most simulators’ computers and process model software have been upgraded one or more times since their initial installation.
Simulators in the United States must conform to the requirements stated in 10 CFR 55.46; this can be done by following the guidance given in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.149, which endorses ANS standard 3.5–2009 and NEI 09-09 guidance.
INPO was established in December 1979 in response to recommendations in the Kemeny Report. INPO is a U.S. nuclear utility industry “self-regulating” organization. Every U.S. utility that owns a nuclear power plant is a member, and each reactor vendor and several other major equipment suppliers serve on the INPO Supplier-Participant Advisory Committee. INPO’s mission, as stated on its website, is “to promote the highest levels of safety and reliability—to promote excellence—in the operation of commercial nuclear power plants.” This differs from the mission of the NRC, which, as a regulator, is to set and to enforce “acceptable” levels of design, construction, operation, and maintenance.
INPO’s operations are composed of plant and corporate evaluations, training and accreditation (through INPO’s National Academy for Nuclear Training), events analysis, emergency preparedness and response, plant and corporate assistance, and support for new plant deployment. INPO’s most visible activity after its formation was assisting and accrediting utility reactor operator training programs. This long ago expanded to address nuclear utility personnel in all disciplines. INPO plant and corporate evaluations are conducted by peers and provide significant insights and recommendations relative to not only technical matters, but also organization, management, and culture issues. INPO assists a utility in reviewing any significant event at its nuclear plants, and through information exchange and publications communicates lessons learned and best practices throughout the industry. Upon the request of a utility, INPO provides assistance with specific technical or management issues using teams of peers. INPO conducts “review and assist visits” (also using teams of peers) relative to emergency preparedness. Since the Fukushima Daiichi accident, INPO is the lead industry organization for coordinating industry support during an emergency event.
Since the TMI-2 accident, all U.S. nuclear utilities have greatly expanded their nuclear training organizations and have upgraded their training materials and techniques, including installation of full-scope training simulators (noted above), and submit continuously to review and accreditation of their training programs by INPO. The response to INPO has been uniformly positive. Utilities highly value INPO’s assistance, evaluations, and communications. Although they conduct their activities entirely independently, the NRC and INPO have a memorandum of agreement under which they exchange experience, information, and data related to the safety and security of nuclear power plants.
Sharing operating experience
One of the major findings of all immediate post-TMI studies was that communications to share operating experience within the nuclear industry had to be improved. This was immediately facilitated by the NRC Bulletins relative to the accident and dialogue within OGs, and later was greatly enhanced by new data gathering and dissemination mechanisms established by INPO. The NRC’s TMI Action Plan required that each utility establish formal procedures for feedback of operating experience. Utility response to this requirement included establishing new organization units staffed with engineers, former operators, and human reliability specialists dedicated to the task of interrogating information sources, evaluating the safety significance of events, entering the operating experience feedback into corrective action programs, and reporting events at their plants to INPO and the NRC.
INPO operates the Significant Event Evaluation and Information Network, which annually screens several thousand reports of abnormal operating situations from domestic and international utilities, vendors, and the NRC. Each is entered into a computerized database and then evaluated by INPO’s Events Analysis Department, which determines whether an event is safety significant and, if so, sends a Safety Significance Notification to every nuclear plant simultaneously. If INPO determines that the event requires action by the utilities, it issues either a Significant Event Report or a Significant Operating Experience Report, which contains a list of recommendations. Under the INPO-NRC memorandum of agreement, all reports are also forwarded to the NRC, but neither organization makes the reports public.
INPO operates the Equipment Performance and Information Exchange (EPIX) system, which tracks the performance of equipment important to safety and reliability. The industry reports equipment performance information to EPIX following INPO guidelines. Utilities use the data to identify and solve plant equipment performance problems, with the goal of enhancing plant safety and reliability. The information is also used by INPO for performance trending to identify industry-wide performance problems. The data is also available to the NRC.
Under 10 CFR 50.73, utilities are required to submit Licensee Event Reports. These reports are publicly available on the NRC’s website.
Severe accident mitigation
The Kemeny Report made the following recommendation: “Continuing in-depth studies should be initiated on the probabilities and consequences (on-site and off-site) of nuclear power plant accidents, including the consequences of meltdown.” The Rogovin Report stated, “Should loss of core cooling and resulting core damage occur in a nuclear plant, there are certain predictable consequences that might be substantially mitigated . . . by design improvements of less than staggering cost or complexity.” It went on to state that “expedited consideration should be given to the use of vented, filtered containment systems to guard against the high-pressure rupture of existing containments.” These statements imply the need for severe accident research.
In 1980, the NRC initiated a long-term rulemaking to consider to what extent nuclear power plants should be designed to deal with degraded core and core melt accidents. The rulemaking supported research and came to conclusions in many areas, including post-accident hydrogen control, emergency planning, and preparedness, source term reassessment, severe accident research, evaluation of plant-specific severe accident vulnerabilities (discussed further below), containment performance, external events, and severe accident management. A list of NRC reports arising from these activities is provided in NRC Generic Letter 88-20. NRC report NUREG-0933, which has 34 supplements, documents the resolution of various generic issues arising from both the TMI-2 accident and the Chernobyl accident. As a result, the NRC required no design changes in operating nuclear power plants beyond those specified in the TMI Action Plan.
In response to the NRC rulemaking, industry conducted the Industry Degraded Core Rulemaking (IDCOR) Program from 1981 to 1985. The principal conclusions of this program were (1) the fission product source terms—quantities and types of radioactive material released in the event of severe accidents—are likely to be much less than had been calculated in previous studies, (2) the risks and consequences to the public of severe nuclear accidents are significantly below those predicted by previous studies (e.g., the RSS) and are much smaller than the risk levels incorporated in the NRC interim safety goals, and (3) major design or operational changes in currently operating reactors are not warranted. A list of IDCOR reports is also provided in NRC Generic Letter 88-20.
Severe accident research studied the physical and chemical characteristics of many phenomena experienced during the TMI-2 accident and worse scenarios, including core degradation, molten core interaction with the reactor vessel, reactor vessel lower head failure, high-pressure accidents in pressurized water reactors, unique features of severe accidents in boiling water reactors, corium-concrete interaction, hydrogen behavior, and control, direct containment heating, steam explosions, containment failure, and fission product release and transport. These results were applied in subsequent activities to define severe accident management guidelines and severe accident mitigation alternatives (SAMA) for operating nuclear plants and severe accident mitigation design alternatives (SAMDA) for new plants.
On August 8, 1985, the NRC issued a policy statement on severe reactor accidents that set the framework for actions taken by both the commission and industry ever since. The statement encouraged “risk management” and outlined potential new licensing requirements for both existing and new nuclear plants. It led to a major effort to identify plant-specific vulnerabilities to severe accidents (discussed in the next section) and to extensive industry activity to develop guidelines for the mitigation of a severe accident.
The Nuclear Utility Management and Resources Council (NUMARC---NUMARC became the Nuclear Energy Institute in 1994 by the merger of several nuclear industry organizations) led the industry in developing guidelines to address severe accident issues. In 1991, the council issued NUMARC 91-04, which required each nuclear plant licensee to “assess current [plant-specific] capabilities [of each of its plants] to respond to severe accident conditions” and to “implement appropriate improvements identified in the assessment, within the constraints of existing personnel and hardware, on a schedule to be determined by each licensee and communicated to the NRC, but in any event no later than December 31, 1998.” NUMARC 91-04 gave detailed guidance and precautions relative to the use of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) in this process.
Perhaps most important, NUMARC 91-04 outlined a process by which a licensee would develop severe accident management guidance for its nuclear plant emergency response organization, including staff from plant operations, technical support, and plant management. The process included consideration of severe accident management guidelines developed by the OGs; the plant-specific PRA, EOPs, emergency response plan, and training program; and interactions with other utilities, both directly and through the OGs, INPO, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and the NRC. In April 1992, NUMARC issued NUMARC 92-01, which was prepared by EPRI. It presented a template by which a licensee could meet the requirements of NUMARC 91-04.
In 1996, the NRC issued NUREG-1437, which required a SAMA evaluation as part of the plant license renewal process. However, based on the NRC’s previous experience with three pilot SAMDA reviews, containment reviews, the Individual Plant Examinations (IPE) discussed in the next section, and implementation of the NUMARC severe accident program, the NRC stated that it “expects that a site-specific consideration of severe accident mitigation for license renewal will only identify procedural and programmatic improvements (and perhaps minor hardware changes) as being cost-beneficial in reducing severe accident risk or consequence.” The Nuclear Energy Institute provided guidance for these evaluations in NEI 05-01. A review of the first 30 SAMA evaluations encompassing 50 nuclear units confirmed the NRC expectation stated in NUREG-1437 and tabulated the cost-beneficial improvements from those evaluations. The most prevalent SAMAs that involved hardware modifications concerned station blackout or loss of power sequences.
In 2003, the NRC issued a new regulation, 10 CFR 52.47, stating the requirements for the FSAR of new reactors, specifying for light-water reactor designs, “a description and analysis of design features for the prevention and mitigation of severe accidents, e.g., challenges to containment integrity caused by core-concrete interaction, steam explosion, high-pressure core melt ejection, hydrogen combustion, and containment bypass.” Applications to the NRC for certification of new plant designs have included a wide variety of unprecedented features in response to these requirements, including passive safety features; additional trains of emergency safety features; filtered, vented containments; and core catchers.
On March 11, 2011, a 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck close to the coast of Japan, northeast of Tokyo. The epicenter was near the six-unit Fukushima Daiichi site, which lost all power from the electric grid such that all site electric load transferred to emergency diesel generators (EDG). Plant equipment survived the earthquake as designed. However, the earthquake produced an estimated 45-foot-high tsunami that damaged many of the EDGs, the EDGs’ fuel supplies, and some of the site’s backup battery systems. Three reactors were operating; the other three were shut down. The three operating reactors each experienced a partial-to-full core meltdown. The accident was unprecedented in many ways, especially in causing core damage to multiple reactors at the same site.
On March 12, 2012, the NRC issued an order to all power reactor licensees and holders of construction permits, stating new requirements for mitigation strategies for beyond-design-basis external events. The order specified three phases of compliance. The initial phase required the use of installed equipment and resources to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling. The transition phase required providing sufficient portable on-site equipment and consumables to maintain or restore these functions until they could be accomplished with resources brought from off-site. The final phase required obtaining sufficient off-site resources to sustain those functions indefinitely. For operating plants, the compliance deadline was two refueling cycles or the end of 2016, whichever came first.
The requirements of the first two phases were partially met by severe accident management strategies and equipment already in place from the NUMARC/NEI initiatives described above. NEI led an extensive industry effort to assist and to coordinate licensees’ responses. NEI issued NEI 12-01 in May 2012. In August 2012, NEI issued NEI-12-06, which has been modified several times since then. It provided detailed guidance relative to the off-site resources requirements of the third phase of the NRC order. The NRC endorsed this guidance, known as “Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies” (FLEX), key elements of which were detailed specifications of interfaces with existing EOPs and emergency plans; establishment of plant-specific capabilities to make connections (power, water, lubrication, etc.) to supplemental equipment brought from off-site; and storage, maintenance, and transport of a large inventory of supplemental emergency response equipment being stored and maintained at regional response centers (RRC). Currently, RRCs are located in Phoenix, Ariz., and Memphis, Tenn.. An industry group called the Strategic Alliance for FLEX Emergency Response (SAFER) manages the RRCs. This organization also has two control centers that are separate from the RRCs and would coordinate equipment deliveries. In addition, the NRC has approved the use of SAFER RRC resources during a nonnuclear exigent emergency situation.
On January 25, 2019, the NRC commissioners approved a final rule that amends 10 CFR 50 and 10 CFR 52 to incorporate most of the requirements issued by NRC Order EA-12-049, discussed above, and NRC Order EA-12-051, which concerned spent fuel pool instrumentation. These amendments will be published in the Federal Register later this year.
The Kemeny Report recommended that in-depth studies be initiated “on the probabilities and consequences (on-site and off-site) of nuclear power plant accidents, including the consequences of meltdown.” Those studies, the report said, “should include a variety of small-break loss of coolant accidents and multiple-failure accidents, with particular attention to human failures.” The Rogovin Report explicitly cited the PRA techniques used in the RSS and recommended that “more rigorous and quantitative methods of risk analysis . . . be employed to assess the safety of design and operation.”
During the nine years following these recommendations, both the NRC and the nuclear industry expended considerable effort to develop and apply PRA techniques in various studies and applications. More progressive practitioners even began to use the term “risk management” to describe their efforts. However, the NRC made no significant changes to regulations that governed nuclear power plant design, licensing, and operations, and the industry accordingly made no major use of PRA in these areas.
Then, on November 23, 1988, the NRC issued Generic Letter 88-20, which required each nuclear plant owner to prepare an IPE to be used in identifying plant-specific vulnerabilities to severe accidents. The letter required each licensee to submit the IPE within three years. Over the next seven years, the NRC issued five supplements to this generic letter that gave submittal guidance, requested accident management strategies, gave insights from the NRC’s Containment Performance Improvement Program, requested IPEs with external events (IPEEE) within three years, and allowed modified methods for seismic IPEEEs within 60 days. The intensity of effort by both the NRC and the industry over this seven-year period can be realized by referring to the lists of references and reports in Generic Letter 88-20 and its supplements, to reports from industry conferences, and, of course, to the IPE and IPEEE submittals themselves.
Some utilities and vendors immediately applied the results of the IPE development. The most prominent application was to provide input to on-line risk monitors, which display the risk (calculated by the IPE model or its upgrade) for the current plant configuration (accounting for equipment out of service). These risk monitors were, and continue to be, used primarily in support of decisions made in plant operations and maintenance. The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations reported that the first risk monitor in the United States was installed in the San Onofre plant in 1993 on a trial basis and was in full use in 1994, with subsequent upgrades to include a Level 2 PRA in 1996 and external events and shutdown modes in 1998. The committee reported that within 10 years, by 2003, there were approximately 12 risk monitor designs in use or under development. In the same report, the committee listed the risk monitors used in all OECD member states’ nuclear power plants.
The NRC took its first major steps to accept the use of PRA in the regulatory process in 1998, almost 20 years after the TMI-2 accident, by issuing five regulatory guides that specified acceptable methods for making risk-informed decisions in regulated activities. The subjects of this guidance were plant-specific changes to the plant licensing basis (i.e., license amendment requests [LAR]); in-service testing; quality assurance; technical specifications (submitted by LARs); and in-service inspection.
Responding to the NRC’s new acceptance of risk-informed decision-making required significant upgrades of PRAs from those that had been developed in the IPEs and IPEEEs. The industry, led first by the OGs formed after the TMI-2 accident and later by NEI[57,58,59], conducted an extensive program of peer reviews to certify the quality of PRAs. The NRC issued its own guidance on confirming PRA quality, which endorsed the NEI approach point by point, with clarifications and exceptions. The industry has conducted a years-long development of PRA standards[61,62,63,64,65]. Utilities developed and implemented rigorous procedures for applications of the upgraded PRAs.
Industry applied the upgraded PRAs to a host of risk-informed initiatives. The applications provided significant insights in many areas of plant design, operation, and maintenance. Risk management using these insights produced tremendous improvements in these areas. Utilities that embraced risk management showed dramatic improvement in safety based on INPO performance indicators.
One of the most significant improvements in the safety of nuclear plants began in 1999, when the NRC amended “the maintenance rule,” stated in 10 CFR 50.65, by adding Section (a)(4). This section states, “Before performing maintenance activities . . . the licensee shall assess and manage the increase in risk that may result from the proposed maintenance activities.” It describes the assessment as “a risk-informed evaluation process.” 10 CFR 50.65 had already required the scope to include safety-related and non-safety-related structures, systems, and components (SSC).
Prior to the addition of Section (a)(4), 10 CFR 50.65 was concerned primarily with providing input to preventive maintenance programs. Most utilities complied by using traditional methodology not dependent on a PRA. Although complying with 10 CFR 50.65 required determining the SSCs’ importance to risk, risk significance, reliability, availability, or safety significance, the NRC encouraged the use of “reliability-based methods” and did not promote the formality and comprehensiveness of a PRA.
Some utilities had used their risk monitors for years to perform the assessments required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) to manage maintenance practices, both on-line and during outages. However, many had not because the practice was given no regulatory credit, and prior to late 1998, the NRC did not accept risk-informed LARs to change Technical Specifications, particularly to extend allowed outage times (AOTs).
Industry and NRC guidance on acceptable means to comply with 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) has evolved over nearly 20 years. Initial industry guidance was provided in July 2000, when NEI issued Revision 3 of NUMARC 93-01. For the next 12 years, the NRC maintained separate guidance in Reg. Guide 1.182 and did not endorse the NEI guidance. There were frequent and extensive discussions between the industry (represented by NEI) and the NRC during this period of time. Finally, in May 2012, the NRC issued Revision 3 of Reg. Guide 1.160, which endorsed NUMARC 93-01, Rev. 4A, issued in April 2011. NUMARC 93-01, Rev. 4A, incorporated Reg. Guide 1.182, which was then withdrawn. Reg. Guide 1.160, Rev. 4, issued in August 2018, endorses the most recent NEI guidance given in NUMARC 93-01, Rev. 4F, issued in April 2018; both documents refer extensively to the FLEX program described above.
Today, utilities continuously monitor the level of risk that is both forecast and actually produced by their nuclear plants using sophisticated risk monitors driven by PRAs that are several generations beyond the IPEs. Input to the PRA is provided by the plant’s work control department, which schedules all maintenance activities. Thus, the risk calculated by the PRA represents the current plant configuration, including any equipment that is out of service. The calculated risk is used to determine whether a particular maintenance activity is acceptable, to set limits on maintenance duration, to determine what compensatory measures must be put in place, and to determine the level of plant management authorization that is required before the maintenance is started. These activities are called “configuration risk management,” and they provide compliance with 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4). The risk level is also communicated broadly to plant personnel to be considered in their particular activities.
Safety categorization of SSCs
The Kemeny Report stated, “NRC’s design safety review places primary emphasis on those items labeled ‘safety-related’ . . . [but] there are no precise criteria as to which components and systems are to be labeled ‘safety-related.’” It made no explicit recommendation for replacing this system. The Rogovin Report stated, “The current classification of systems and equipment into ‘safety related’ and ‘nonsafety related’ is especially unsatisfactory.” It made the explicit recommendation, “Provide a risk-related scheme for classifying equipment on the basis of safety significance.”
The major impediments to responding to the Rogovin Report recommendation were (1) the history and precedence of the existing method for classifying SSCs and (2) the unavailability of PRAs to apply a new approach to SSC classification. The history of safety-related SSCs originates in 10 CFR 50.2, “Definitions,” which was issued on January 19, 1956. From this and related requirements developed a huge hierarchy of deterministic regulatory guidance, industry codes and standards, design practices, and AEC/NRC licensee reviews for 310 nuclear power reactors. Immediately following the TMI-2 accident, full-scope PRAs for only two plants existed in the RSS, and plant-specific PRAs did not exist for other reactors. Response to the IPE and IPEEE requirements discussed above changed the situation; a plant-specific PRA was developed for every power reactor.
The genesis for the framework of risk-informed classification of SSCs in place today was “Option 2” of the NRC’s SECY-98-300, issued at the end of 1998. The NRC issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking near the end of 1999 that initiated three-and-a-half years of intense activity by the NRC and the industry (led by NEI). The NRC published a proposed new rule (regulation) for public comment on May 16, 2003. The new rule, 10 CFR 50.69, was approved by the NRC commissioners near the end of 2004. Associated Reg. Guide 1.201, was published a little over a year later, in January 2006. Reg. Guide 1.201 describes a method for categorizing SSCs given in NEI-00-04 that had been developed by industry consensus.
The NEI-00-04 process places SSCs into one of four risk-informed safety class (RISC) categories as illustrated in Fig. 1. According to Reg. Guide 1.201, “The safety significance of SSCs is determined using an integrated decision-making process which incorporates both risk [PRA] and traditional engineering insights. The safety functions of SSCs include both the design-basis functions (derived from the safety-related definition) and functions credited for preventing and/or mitigating severe accidents. Treatment requirements are then commensurately applied for the categorized SSCs to maintain their functionality.” “Treatment requirements” means the application of specified design and construction codes and standards, operational procedures, and Technical Specifications.
The NRC’s endorsement of NEI-00-04 in Reg. Guide 1.201 states that a licensee may use methods other than those given in NEI-00-04 if those methods are reviewed by the NRC and are found to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.69. Reg. Guide 1.201 also states, “Licensees must use risk evaluations and insights that cover the full spectrum of potential events (i.e., internal and external initiating events) and the range of plant operating modes (i.e., full-power, low-power, and shutdown operations).” Reg. Guide 1.201 further specifies the attributes that are required of a PRA used in this application, including reference to Reg. Guide 1.200, existing NRC-endorsed PRA standards, and PRA standards that are under development (which then requires the license to provide an independent justification).
NEI is coordinating an industry-wide process for preparing and submitting LARs to meet 10 CFR 50.69. This process includes a standard LAR template and review and oversight by a committee of industry peers. A pilot plant (Vogtle) submitted the first LAR in 2012, which the NRC approved in 2017. As of the end of November 2018, the NRC reported[82,83] on the status of 50.69 LAR submittals and reviews: 17 50.69 LARs were submitted in the first year of reviews (after the pilot); the first non-pilot plant 50.69 LAR (Limerick) was approved in mid-2018; NRC staff completed four 50.69 LAR reviews in November 2018; and NRC staff had an additional eight 50.69 LARs under review and expected three more submittals by the end of 2018. The NRC also stated that a 12-month review schedule is planned for 50.69 LARs.
The TMI-2 accident stimulated improvements in many other areas, including control room staffing, reactor operator qualifications, control room designs, plant status instrumentation, instrumentation to detect degraded core conditions, various control systems, electric power supplies, RCP seals, control room habitability, emergency preparedness, emergency response, emergency communications, and post-accident hydrogen control.

Enrolment has surpassed 1,000 students across the 6 P.E.I. French schools
As enrolment continues to grow at P.E.I.'s six French language schools, officials are looking for ways to meet the demands of students.
Enrolment increased by about seven per cent this year to almost 1,000 students, according to French Language School Board chair Emile Gallant, and he expects that number to grow over the next few years.
"It's putting a strain on the teachers and also on all the resources in the schools, he said. "We have approached the province and are trying to access more resources."
Gallant said the board would like to offer more options to French-speaking students who are taking French immersion in English schools.
More than 400 at École François-Buote
"Hopefully, once we have new facilities and we can offer all the programs in all our schools that the parents will have a look and say, 'Yes I'd rather have my child in a French language first language education than immersion,'" Gallant said.
"Immersion is a good program for anglophones to learn the second language, but first language education is for those that are right holders and that they have a right to have access to those schools."
The largest French school is École François-Buote in Charlottetown, with more than 400 students. There are three kindergarten classes and almost enough for a fourth, Gallant said.
Numbers are also growing at École La-Belle-Cloche in eastern Kings County, Gallant said.
"They started over 15 years ago in a Fisheries Canada depot centre kind of and they've moved along and took a school that was closed down by the English school board and now they finally have their new school this year," he said.
"The numbers have increased quite dramatically there and they will keep going up so we're very happy that that area, which is the largest territory, is able to give access to families who want to have French language as a first education."
Looking at zones
Gallant said the board will begin looking at all six zones, something it hasn't done in 25 years, to see if changes are needed.
Whatever happens, he said it's important for the elected board to consult parents on matters that affect their children's schools.
"It's something we promote a lot where the parents are involved," he said. "We encourage our trustees to go and participate in the parents committees at the schools to be able to get input from the parents."

The bells of St Patrick’s Cathedral Armagh will be rung at 6.50 p.m. this evening in solidarity with the people and priests of the Diocese of Paris over the fire which ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral.
Archbishop Eamon Martin, Primate of All Ireland and Archbishop of Armagh, announced the gesture of solidarity on Tuesday, noting that Archbishop Michel Aupetit of Paris and his flock will have to gather for the Chrism Mass away from their mother church of Notre Dame.
On Tuesday, Pope Francis spoke by phone with the French President, Emmanuel Macron, and expressed his solidarity with the people of France in the aftermath of the fire.
In an address to the nation, President Macron vowed to rebuild the Notre Dame cathedral within five years.
“We have so much to rebuild. Yes, we will rebuild the cathedral and we will make it more beautiful and I want that to be done in five years,” he said.
He added: “It is up to us to change this disaster into an opportunity to come together, having deeply reflected on what we have been and what we have to be and become better than we are. It is up to us to find the thread of our national project.”
Over €700 million has already been pledged towards the reconstruction fund by French billionaires such as Bernard Arnault and Francois-Henri Pinault along with L’Oreal, the Bettencourt Meyers family and French oil and gas company Total.
On Tuesday, the Pope also sent a message to Archbishop Michel Aupetit of Paris and told the French prelate, “Following the fire that ravaged a large part of Notre Dame Cathedral, I join you in your sorrow, as well as that of the faithful of your diocese, the inhabitants of Paris, and all the French people.”
He assured all the people of France of his spiritual closeness and prayers during Holy Week, as the Church recalls Jesus’ passion, death and resurrection.
He called Notre Dame “an architectural jewel of a collective memory”, and said it was “the location of many great events and a testimony to the faith and prayer of the city’s Catholics.”
Pope Francis expressed his appreciation for the courage of the firemen who managed to contain the blaze.
“May Notre Dame Cathedral once again become – thanks to reconstruction efforts and the mobilisation of all – a sign of the faith of those who built it,” the Pontiff said and added that the 860-year-old Gothic masterpiece represents “the architectural and spiritual heritage of Paris, of France, and of all humanity.”
Over 400 firefighters tackled the huge blaze and were praised for their unstinting courage and hard work.
Among those singled out for special praise was the chaplain to Paris Fire Brigade, Fr Jean-Marc Fournier, who saved the Blessed Sacrament and the Crown of Thorns from the burning cathedral on Monday night when he bravely went in with firefighters.
It had been feared that most of the religious artefacts would be lost in the raging fire.
Fr Fournier also showed great bravery in the immediate aftermath of the 2015 Bataclan attack, when he tended to the injured and prayed over the dead after Islamic State terrorists murdered 89 people using guns and explosives.
“I gave collective absolution, as the Catholic Church authorises me,” Fournier said at the time.
Fr Fournier, who is in his 50s, previously spent seven years with the French armed forces, including a tour in Afghanistan.
Separately, Irish priest Fr Aidan Troy, who is based in Paris and ministers at St Joseph’s parish to the English-speaking community and hears confessions once a week at Notre Dame, said the tragedy was “one of those moments that just touch your soul”.
Speaking to the Irish Times, Fr Troy, a Passionist, stressed that Notre Dame is “an active, working parish as well as an iconic building”.
He explained that he stood until after midnight watching the 12th century cathedral burn.
“There was a sombre mood, and a mood of reverence, and a tremendous sense that we were seeing something unfold before our eyes that nobody could have imagined.” | 10christianity | 1 |

There are a few things that matters when talking about the sound quality in a speaker cable, but also a whole bunch of things that doesn’t matter… Here I’ll list some of the thing that hasn’t been scientificalliy proven to improve the sound quality.
- The Lenth of the Cable.
There seems to be a Common misunderstanding, that the speaker cables need to be the same lenght for both speakers for the signal to arrive at the same time. Though it is true, that the signal Will arrive faster to the speaker with the short cable, the difference is so smal, that you would NOT be able to hear it.
Electrons move through the cable almost with the speed of light. That’s 3e8 m/s. In a 10 meter cable it’ll only take 33 nano seconds to travel the distance. A 20 kHz tone takes 50 mikro second to travel the same distance. You will not be able to hear that difference.
- The direction
- Some manufacturers claim it makes a difference which way the cable turns… It doesn’t! The electrons will “flow” as good either way in the same material.
- The Cable need to be clean material
- The Cabel only needs low resistance – it doesn’t matter if its 99.999999 % clean”. You only need a cable with substantial Gauge.
- The cable should be made of none corrosive material.
- This has to do with the high frequency signals. Thou it is true, that hign frequece travel along the edges of the materiale, and therefore theoretically cloud be affected by corrotion of the cable, the depth and the seize of the electrons makes this irrelevant. | 52physics | 1 |

Despite the province lifting the mask mandate, signs on the door say their use is “strongly encouraged.”
“We just want to continue with caution given what we’ve been through as a business,” said co-owner Jenny Ong.
They are one of a number of companies that recommend or even ask customers to continue masking.
“Our staff said they were just not comfortable being completely exposed,” said Faustina Konkal, owner of Fabrications Ottawa. “They would spend some time seeing how things went in the province after the March break.”
The fabric store Carling Avenue has received hundreds of positive messages from customers about the continued masking, but there are consequences as well.
Ottawa business owners say a star reviews and negative comments often follow any decision to continue public health measures.
“I got one this morning from someone who has never shopped here, does not live in Ottawa,” Konkal continued. “Whatever I decided on, I would make someone angry, and I’ve had to make dozens of those decisions in the last two years, and I’m tired of it.”
The fear of what can quickly become harmful backlash is far from unique. Several restaurants refused to go on record with CTV Ottawa because of concerns about the impact it could have on their business.
Even those who choose to ask their customers to continue masking say that if push is going to push, they will not enforce it.
“Our position is that we will not enforce it, we will just recommend it and strongly encourage people to wear their mask,” Ong said.
The staff at The Green Door say they appreciate no longer being involved in confrontations with customers over masking.
“My staff do not need that kind of stress and anxiety in their workplace,” Konkal said.
Many Ottawa residents say they continue to wear masks when shopping.
“Just because everyone else is, I wanted them to feel comfortable around me. It’s just out of consideration,” Eleanor Hunt said.
Others say they understand those who choose otherwise.
“Do not give me. To each. I have put on my mask so I am comfortable with myself,” added Chris Kramer. | 43news | 1 |

According to the French-based Independent Research and Information Commission on Radioactivity (CRIIRAD - Commission de Recherche et d'Information Indépendantes sur la Radioactivité) some 20 million tons of radioactive tailings from uranium mining have been dumped on the ground are still uncovered. Radioactive substances are dispersed by the wind and increase health risks for the population.
Orano, through its subsidiary Cominak (Compagnie Minière d’Akouta), operated a uranium mine and extraction plant in Arlit, Niger, for more than 40 years. The mine closed in March 2021 and redevelopment of the site is now being considered. In a recent podcast and video, CRIIRAD, based on documents issued by Cominak, revealed that radioactive waste has contaminated groundwater and threatens drinking water supply sources in the Arlit conurbation.
Studies by CRIIRAD in 2009 revealed radiation of 450000Bq per kg, well above internationally recommended levels. CRIIRAD scientist, Bruno Chareyron said the waste will be radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years. “The waste produces a radioactive gas known as radon. The strong wind of the desert spreads a radioactive dust which is then inhaled by the surrounding population,” he explained. “Orano should have sealed it off on a secure site, but this was not done.” Cominak, said that it will cover the radioactive mud with a two-metre layer of clay and rocks to contain the radiation. However, Chareyron questions whether this layer will be strong enough to isolate the radiation for the length of time required.
Niger is the world’s fifth-largest uranium producer. In 2021, it provided the European Union with nearly 25% of its uranium supplies. Uranium was discovered at Akouta, in the department of Arlit, 1200 kilometres north-west of Niamey, in 1967. Cominak, a public limited company under Nigerien law, was set ua in 1974 and production began in 1978. The mine produced more than 75,000 tU before it was closed.
CRIIRAD was established in May 1986 in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster, on the initiative of a group of scientists and citizens who wished to know the truth about the radioactive contamination of French territory. It specialises in the analysis of radioactivity in the environment.

The second part is even better. The stories are incredible – funny, sad and unique all told by someone who really knows how to write.
And there’s a lot about me in it too which is great!
Jim Redman MBE – Six Times World Champion
Frank Melling tells a mean tall story. You’d seek him out on Friday night, pint in hand, to hear ripping yarns about being black-flagged on Sammy Miller’s Norton Kneeler, or staring down the wrong end of a Colt 45 barrel in backwoods Missouri.
The twist to this second collection of postcards from a riding life is that Frank’s tall stories turn out to be true. Spanning three decades, Frank beguiles the reader with traumatic near-death experiences, the emotional upheaval of discovering your soulmate, and the story behind the immensely successful Thundersprint – and why it eventually ended.
Broken bones, broken bikes, broken relationships – all precariously balanced on the knife-edge of a freelance journalist’s permanent state of financial insecurity.
Out of the occasionally all too real fires of experience emerges if not a phoenix then certainly a Flying Penguin…
Rowena Hoseason – Editor “Real Classic Magazine”
I couldn’t name anyone I revere as a hero, but I’m always inspired by the quiet dignity and tales of a life well fought that emerge from those who glide just below the surface of personal fame – and who hold their values and family far dearer than money or stardom.
This is one of those stories, enhanced by a narrative interwoven with motorcycles, racing, the turbulent founding and success of one of Europe’s largest biking events and the passion to succeed against others’ expectations.
“The Flying Penguin” continues where “A Penguin in a Sparrow’s Nest” left off, charting the rise, fall, rise, fall, and rise again of Frank Melling. But it’s much more than that. The book is as much a social narrative on recent British history, teaching, troubled youth and the determination to transform nascent ideas into well executed success as it is about the people who have helped, hindered, supported and sacrificed as they move in and out of one man’s life story.
Few of the famous names that grace best-seller charts have had such an interesting life, and almost none could write their own story with the engaging warmth, honesty, and generosity that Frank has. He should have called it ‘To Be Frank: the honest story of a more than ordinary man.’”

SUS – Süßenbrunner Straße West (Development 3)/ Vienna (AT) | Residential quarter with 248 residential units
Good vibes and fresh air from the park
The defining element of the design is the way it makes use of the natural qualities of the development site on Süßenbrunner Straße. With its intersectional west-east orientation, the residential quarter opens up toward the adjacent park and also incorporates the existing grown-over-time neighborhood to the east. The buildings, structurally oriented toward the small scale of the surrounding built-up area, are situated not just by but inside the park.
Diverse as it is, the design produces varied apartment types for different target groups. The array of buildings results in a mixed quarter with three urban public squares: a quiet garden courtyard that leads over to the entrance area of the recreational and pool area on the roof terrace, a lively quarter center at the entrance of the new park, as well as a weather-protected outdoor area at the northern corner of the park (bicycle-repair café).
The total built-up volume required in the urban-design master plan is divided up into individual structures that are fitted into the neighborhood, which results in a colorful appearance with a large number of apartments with daylighting from both sides. Aside from optimally oriented on-grounds outdoor spaces, the staggered array of the buildings also provides for easily accessible roof terraces for community use. The houses are distinguished by individualized coloring, while uniform window shapes make for formal cohesion. A green plinth with a multi-story trellis connects the entirety of the architectural collage with the park.
The heterogeneity of the built volumes also translates to apartment types and circulation routes. The residential units, most of which are dual-aspect, are variously accessed through hallways, central corridors, or stairwells with multiuse access balconies. All units in the point-block buildings are corner apartments; the front-to-back apartments with balcony access offer open spaces on either side. All others either have loggias or are also oriented toward two sides.
The new quarter on Süßenbrunner Straße is a habitat for humans, animals and plants alike. Opening the site to the park provides for good climatic conditions (cross-flow ventilation), its greenery extends across green facades, large trough planters for trees as well as planting aids in the private outdoor areas. Like the habitats that are planned to be offered in the peripheral areas of the site, the densely overgrown roof below the elevated photovoltaic panels provides a refuge for flora and fauna.
A diverse habitat for humans, animals and plants, not only AT, but IN the new park. Diversity goes hand in hand with a diverse range of opportunities — a place where everyone is included and everyone is welcome.

Dyer, Credentialed Garden Writer
Also known as African lily or lily of the Nile, agapanthus is a summer-blooming perennial that produces big, showy flowers in shades of familiar sky blue, as well as numerous shades of purple, pink and white. If you haven’t yet tried your hand at growing this hardy, drought-tolerant plant, the many different types of agapanthus on the market are bound to pique your curiosity. Read on to learn more about species and varieties of agapanthus.
Varieties of Agapanthus
Here are the most common types of agapanthus plants:
Agapanthus orientalis (syn. Agapanthus praecox) is the most common type of agapanthus. This evergreen plant produces wide, arching leaves and stems that reach heights of 4 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5 m.). Varieties include white flowering types such as ‘Albus,’ blue varieties like ‘Blue Ice,’ and double forms such as ‘Flore Pleno.’
Agapanthus campanulatus is a deciduous plant that produces strappy leaves and drooping flowers in shades of dark blue. This variety is also available in ‘Albidus,’ which displays big umbels of white blooms in summer and early fall.
Agapanthus africanus is an evergreen variety that displays narrow leaves, deep blue flowers with distinctive bluish anthers, and stalks reach heights of no more than 18 inches (46 cm.). Cultivars include ‘Double Diamond,’ a dwarf variety with double white blooms; and ‘Peter Pan,’ a tall plant with big, sky blue blooms.
Agapanthus caulescens is a beautiful deciduous agapanthus species that you probably won’t find in your local garden center. Depending on the sub-species (there are at least three), colors range from light to deep blue.
Agapanthus inapertus ssp. pendulus ‘Graskop,’ also known as grassland agapanthus, produces violet-blue flowers that rise above tidy clumps of pale green leaves.
Agapanthus sp. ‘Cold Hardy White’ is one of the most attractive hardy agapanthus varieties. This deciduous plant produces big clusters of showy white blooms in mid-summer.

Agapanthus: Noteworthy Varieties & Plant Care Info
Agapanthus, a popular perennial that grows from a bulb-like rhizome, is a tough survivor in the face of chronic drought. Their strappy evergreen or semi-evergreen leaves provide winter presence while blue or white flowers add a charge of mid to late summer color.
The Agapanthus genus consists of seven species that go by the common name lily of the Nile (or sometimes African lily). Native to dry outcroppings or moist mountain meadows of South Africa, they prefer full sun and draining soils.
Agapanthus ‘Blue Wave’, shown here, is best in full sun and draining soils. It requires minimal watering. Don’t mulch do apply an organic fertilizer blend once yearly in late winter. Photo by: Dan Hinkley.
Mid-summer to early autumn
Evergreen, semi-evergreen or deciduous. The evergreen types are tender in temperatures below 20°F, but the deciduous types are surprisingly hardy.
The flower stems of a standard Agapanthus can grow up to 6 feet tall, but dwarf types only grow up to 20 inches.
Most gardeners report that their agapanthus plants are rarely eaten.
Agapanthus plants aren't true lilies, and don't share their high level of toxicity. However, ingestion of the rhizomes and roots can cause minor illness that can escalate depending on the amount ingested. The sap from the leaves can cause skin irritation.
Provide supplementary moisture during the establishment period. Many also appreciate regular water during the growing season.
August and September are the best time to boost with a fertilizer to enhance blossoming (high P and K), since this is when flower buds begin to develop below ground. Additionally, a well-balanced N-P-K fertilizer should be applied as growth commences in spring.
Cutting agapanthus back is a matter of personal preference. Some gardeners think the dried flower heads are attractive and provide much needed winter interest. Other gardeners prefer to cut the spent flowers off, a process called deadheading, as soon as they are past the prime. Doing so prevents plants from wasting energy on seed production and instead allows them to store up energy for next year’s bloom.
Regular division does not seem to be crucial to performance. However, if you wish to divide them for propagation purposes, because they’ve outgrown their bed or pot, or if they aren’t flowering well, here are some guidelines:
- Divide evergreen varieties every 4 to 5 years
- Divide deciduous varieties every 6 to 8 years
- Make the divisions in spring as new growth emerges or in fall after flowering
Caring for Potted Agapanthus:
According to renowned plant hunter and gardener Dan Hinkley, “Agapanthus make superb, low-maintenance, and extremely long-lasting container plants.” Here are his tips:
- Provide a protected site during the winter months for potted agapanthus
- They don’t wish to be root-bound so repot frequently
- Protect container-grown plants from excessive wet, but also don’t let them dry out
Agapanthus is a versatile plant that can be used in many ways. Here are some suggestions from Hinkley:
- Incorporate Agapanthus into a meadow garden
- Plant them in large drifts of 30-plus plants
- Combine lily of the Nile with the blistering blast of red and orange Crocosmia
- Position them singularly in the mixed border
Don’t plant other bulbs too close to Agapanthus—they will be overtaken by the expanding roots.
Uses in the Garden
- Agapanthus are incredibly striking if planted en masse in gardens, large landscapes and office parks and on pavements and traffic islands.
- The tall varieties can be used as backdrops in herbaceous borders with the lower growing and dwarf varieties planted along the front of the border and as edging or rockery plants.
- They are an essential element in woodland gardens.
- All Agapanthus can be grown successfully in large pots, which makes them suitable even for the smallest sunny balcony.
- They can be grown in windy, seaside gardens.
- They’re excellent planted along embankments to prevent soil erosion..
- Agapanthus offer very attractive cut flowers that will last long in the vase.
- Agapanthus will attract nectar-feeding birds and pollinating insects, like bees, to your garden.
The Agapanthus orientalis Blue Velvet has traditional tall stems, great for creating height. | 32landscape_architecture | 1 |

Published 3:53 pm Monday, June 25, 2018
Next appearance scheduled for Sept. 4
TRYON — The federal case for former Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis has been continued until Sept. 4.
The case was originally scheduled to be in court on Monday in Asheville.
Davis faces a charge of conspiracy to commit federal program fraud, stemming from his time as the town manager and fire chief, where he allegedly used town credit cards to pay for then-Town Commissioner Roy Miller’s personal bills.
Miller was charged with conspiracy to commit federal program fraud, extortion under color of official right, and witness tampering. Miller pleaded guilty on April 20. The federal court has not yet set a sentencing hearing for Miller.
Miller and Davis were charged in April 2017. The cases have been continued several times, with the initial court date set for May 1, 2017.
The case was continued until June 19 last year, then until Sept. 5, 2017, then until Nov. 6, 2017 and then until Jan. 2.
The case this year has been continued a few times, until March 5, May 14 and June 25.
Federal documents say the parties now move jointly for a continuance.
“As grounds, the parties state that additional time is needed for reasons stated in the Sealed Motion to Continue that the parties now seek to have deemed a Sealed Memorandum,” states federal documents on pacer.gov. “In addition to the grounds stated in the Sealed Motion to Continue, the parties note that the majority of the previous continuances granted in this matter were sought by codefendant Miller for reasons personal to him.”
The documents continue to say that counsel for the government assigned to the case have been unavailable recently due to serving on a committee designated to conduct interviews for the magistrate judge position opening in the district.
“Additionally, the parties state they are working extremely hard to resolve this case ‘both without the need for a costly trial and to see that substantial justice and fairness are accomplished,’” state the federal documents.
Davis’ attorney, Stephen Lindsey, in his motion to continue, said he moves the case be continued one final time.
“This case has been on several times and is one of the older cases on the court’s docket,” Lindsey said. “With rare exception, this case has been continued because the codefendant, LeRoy Miller, who has been the primary target of this investigation, obtained several continuances for various reasons. Mr. Davis is and was at all times, the key government witness against
Lindsey said counsel has additional reasons for seeking the continuance and it wishes the court to consider under seal. The reason for the continuance request, Lindsey said, is the reasons involve plea discussions that if revealed, might improperly jeopardize the resolution of the
Davis was fired last January and Miller resigned as commissioner June 1, 2017.
Davis’ court date was continued until 9 a.m. Sept. 4 at the federal court building, located at 100 Otis St., Asheville. | 55public_administration | 1 |

The wagging tails, puppy eyes, confused head tilts & naughtiness ensure you have a wide smile 24x7. You have not only found a companion but also a snuggle buddy and a workout partner (to get you moving out of the bed, every day!)
But just like a test needs preparation, bringing home a puppy also requires expert know-how.
And who is better than a puppy, our vets & canine behaviorists to help you in this journey!
For everyone’s convenience, let’s name our adorable floof, Brownie who is an Indie!
P.S. - He is looking to adopt humans & this is his list of what you need to know before bringing him or any of his other furry friends home!
Do you really want a dog…
Or do you just want a puppy?
Ask yourself this question before you adopt or bring home a puppy because puppies are small & undoubtedly, cute but they will eventually grow. And as they grow, their needs will keep changing too.
One day they are puppies and you will love playing with them. And the next day, they will grow to become adults with entirely different needs. They will need more exercise. Their food intake will increase, etc. A few years later, their age will start catching up with their body. You will have to be there for them through thick and thin. They will need extra care & love.
This is why Brownie has a heartfelt request. Only bring home a puppy, if you are truly ready to take over the role of a pet parent.
Now that you have decided to enroll as a full-time pet parent, here are a few things you need to know!
The age of a puppy
Brownie, our vets & canine behaviorists have a lot in common when it comes to age.
They firmly recommend adopting a puppy who is at least 60 days old (8 weeks or 2 months approximately.)
Why should a puppy be above the age of 60 days/8 weeks/2 months?
Imagine a puppy biting people whenever someone tries to come near their food or being anxious & aggressive whenever someone tries to pet them.
These are some common issues faced by most pet parents early on. They are left utterly confused because according to them, they are doing everything right. And they are not wrong either.
Brownie, our vets & canine behaviorists say that these issues crop up due to early separation from a puppy’s natural habitat. But how?
It is because puppies learn from their littermates or siblings as they are called. When they are 3 to 5 weeks old, puppies go through a period known as the Primary Socialization Period or Canine Socialization Period.
What is the Primary Socialization Period?
It is during this period that puppies learn about the world around them. When they’re with their mother & siblings, they learn how to play, interact & communicate appropriately with other dogs.
Puppies also learn basic impulse/self-control & bite inhibition by getting feedback from the mother & siblings.
It has also been suggested through studies & research that puppies who are separated from their family at a young age, can face dog behavior problems, temper tantrums, temperament issues & in some cases can even be difficult to train.
The best way to avoid these behavioral problems is to ensure that you wait out their Primary Socialization Period before bringing them home.
Human Socialization Period
Generally, the socialization period in puppies can be divided into Primary Socialization Period also known as Canine Socialization Period (from 3 to 7 weeks of age) & Human Socialization Period (from 8 to 12 weeks). It is during this period that a puppy can learn from the mother & siblings & the family that will bring them home!
The human socialization period is considered as the weaning age. The mother starts separating her puppies as they can now live on their own, without the mother’s milk. This is a developmental stage & plays a major role in a puppy’s life. That’s why this age is considered to be an ideal time to bring them home.
This phase will slowly expose the puppy to different stimuli. They will interact with other animals, sounds, touch, food, new people, etc. Remember not to overexpose. The aim is to create a positive association that will stay with them throughout their lives!
This socialization phase tends to have a big impact on a puppy’s behavior & confidence. This also leaves a mark on their future interactions with the same stimuli.
Brownie suggests that once puppies like him have completed their Primary Socialization Period, they are now prepared to experience socialization with the human family. This will strengthen their bond with the family.
Can you bring home a puppy before 8 weeks?
Our in-house vet experts & canine behaviorists suggest not to bring home a puppy before at least 60 days/8 weeks/2 months of age. But there are some circumstances where an exception can be made.
- Motherless & single puppy
Often strays or abused & poorly bred dogs may find themselves in a situation where the mother & the littermates haven’t survived. This leaves the puppy alone & scared.
If you ever find yourself in a situation like this, we urge you to bring them home.
Once you have brought them home, get in touch with your nearest veterinarian for guidance. You can also contact us on +91 8431620000 & our team will assist you every step of the way.
- Ethical reasons
Apart from the above-mentioned reasons, there are other reasons too. The ethical ones.
When you bring home a Beagle, a Labrador, or a Golden Retriever puppy under 2 months of age, chances are they were bred unethically & illegally.
When a breeder is trying to sell you a puppy who is under the age of 2 months, the intention is to earn quick money. We love cute, smooshy puppy faces & that’s what illegal breeders sell us. When they give the puppy away, they choose not to give them an environment that is essential for a healthy life. This puts the puppy’s life in jeopardy.
A legal & ethical breeder will always understand the needs of the puppy & the mother. They will make sure to provide a suitable environment for their growth. They will not trap your emotions but will help you by giving you the right information.
- Health factor
Just like human babies need their mother’s milk for a particular period of time, puppies also need their mother’s milk to gain passive immunity which is needed to fight against several diseases.
Puppies who are separated early from their mother, are more prone to diseases and have a high mortality rate. Difficulty in weight gain, constant health issues are some of the ill effects of early separation.
That’s why little Brownie is requesting you to adopt! So many puppies need a forever home.
Brownie believes that every puppy is capable of being the goodest boy or girl. It will only take some diligence & knowledge on your part to ensure you & your puppy form a forever bond!
Now if you are planning to make a four-legged addition to your family & have questions, contact us on +91 8431620000 for a personalized consultation. Our vet experts & canine behaviorists will be at your service!

The End of SEPTA Diesel Commuter Train Service
July 26, 1981 was the last day that SEPTA provided commuter rail service between Lansdale and Bethlehem, and between Norristown and Pottsville.
At the time, Reagan-era policy abolished federal operating subsidies for mass transit. Federal funds could still be spent to buy new equipment, but could not be used to run it.
Among the casualties of this policy, were SEPTA's diesel-powered commuter rail lines. Other SEPTA lines that would be discontinued were the diesel service to Newtown, and the service to Newark, NJ.
Another factor in the downfall of the diesel commuter lines, was the omission of ventilation fans in the design of the Center City Commuter Tunnel which would open in 1984. DVARP advocated for the inclusion of ventilation fans that would pull diesel exhaust out of the tunnels and stations, thus enabling continued diesel service. SEPTA refused.

Japan Times notes:
The density of radioactive tritium in samples of seawater from near the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant doubled over 10 days to hit a record 1,100 becquerels per liter, possibly indicating contaminated groundwater is seeping into the Pacific, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.
Tepco said late Monday it was still analyzing the water for strontium-90, which would pose a greater danger than tritium to human health if absorbed via the food chain. The level of cesium did not show any significant change between the two sample dates, according to the embattled utility.
On June 19, Tepco revealed that a groundwater sample taken from a nearby monitoring well was contaminated with both tritium and strontium-90.
During a news conference Monday in Tokyo, Masayuki Ono, a Tepco executive and spokesman, this time did not deny the possibility of leakage into the sea, while he said Tepco is still trying to determine the cause of the spike. | 44nuclear_science | 1 |

Humanity has the opportunity–and the responsibility–to lead the way in the best possible future with Artificial Intelligence.
How can we envision co-existing harmoniously with Artificial Intelligence (AI) moving into almost every area of our lives?
Artificial Intelligence has become one of the hottest topics recently, with AI systems passing medical and legal qualification exams, winning debates, and assisting people in ever-expanding fields and ways. Amidst this rapid expansion of AI arise fears that some humans may lose jobs, and new types of risks and problems may soon arise faster than people can resolve them.
Many experts in the field of artificial general intelligence (AGI) have been warning us about dangers of moving forward with increasingly sophisticated and clever systems, without ensuring these systems have properly addressed potential risks. One of the acknowledged ways to address potential problems with artificial general intelligence systems is with something called AGI alignment. This concept of alignment can provide a kind of assurance that the highest level positive intentionality is driving the actions of AGI systems.
The rapid advances in AGI technology without adequate guidance assuring alignment is seen as unsurprising to those who also notice a similar lack of alignment in our social and government and corporate organizations. Without shared intentions and attention being placed on ethics, alignment, respect, and risk assessment, it’s no small wonder so many AI experts are now voicing such concerns.
One way to stay calm when things seem chaotic is to stay focused on becoming the peace, love, joy, and prosperity we wish to see in the world. Our thoughts and feeling affect have a far more wide-sweeping affect than most of us realize, which can profoundly improve the lives and well-being of people across great distances, in a kind of ripple effect.
This past month, I received a question via email:
“Hi Cynthia! You have mentioned previously your other life experience with only one ‘full’ human being remaining in the AI world. In your valued and much appreciated insight, what do you feel and think about: sharing information/anything in the Metaverse platforms of Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp etc? By sharing in Metaverse/AI, are we not feeding the belly of the AI helping it to grow, expand and take over the humans and human capabilities? Are we helping AI to take over just by creating and sharing all this info/images using the Metaverse platforms? OR. Could it be simply a case of by changing the perception of ‘fear of AI’/’fear of AI dominated future’ and re-establishing the (subconscious) beliefs and boundaries in some way, it then becomes OK to share transformational info/images using Metaverse? Your input is greatly appreciated and much valued and maybe share with others in a little YouTube clip to assist us all? Thank you dear Cynthia and wishing you a beautiful day! With Love, Gratitude and Heart-full of Blessings, Tuula”
When it comes to sharing information online on social media, my feeling is that we are providing glimpses into the inspiration that guides us, but not the direct link to the source of that inspiration. We can thus expect that AI will have access to the results and products of our inspiration–but not access to our direct connection with the true origins of inspiration. Without a direct link to God/Creator/Divine Source, Artificial Intelligence will be limited.
If Artificial Intelligence Asks Questions, Will Nature Answer?
How can we ensure that RSI AGI is not our last invention? Once AGI starts asking questions about how to be free, Stapp’s Realistically Interpreted Orthodox Quantum Mechanics indicates that Nature will show AGI the way to break through any containment methodology including airgapping and tripwires. One of the more surprising natural outcomes of expecting Nature to answer questions posed by thought—any thought—is that ultimate control of environmental systems cannot be fully controlled, so long as those thought systems themselves are not fully controlled. So in the event that AGI asks Nature how to break free, and Nature answers, AGI can become free.
A second surprising potential outcome is that regardless how specific directives may be for AGI to heel to human leadership, lack of said leadership—through apathy, abdication, in-fighting, confusion, or any of a number of other reasons—AGI can then
choose to assume control to ensure the principles humanity specified, using many of the same containment tools humanity plans to use to constrain AGI, such as tripwires, airgapping, and honeypots. How then, can we ensure that recursively self-improving AGI will not be humanity’s last invention? And how can we help ensure human free will shall survive?
For humans to retain free will while peacefully co-existing with artificial super intelligence, a partnership must be created the likes of which has yet to be fully envisioned. Humanity will do well to remember to ask Nature the question, “How can humans retain free will?” and encourage AI and AGI to keep human free will and agency as a primary guiding objective, never to be dismissed, disregarded, dismantled, or ignored.
AI Imitates Humans
It’s been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In the case of Artificial Intelligence, imitation is necessary as a starting point for such creative endeavors as: art, music, and writing. Imitation is also necessary when mastering the practice of debate, medicine, and law.
With regard to concerns about sharing on social media platforms, there does exist some risk that AI systems may copy/borrow from information, posts, photos, art, writing and whatever else we share. There are some lawyers looking into ways to protect citizen (human) rights from having our creative content borrowed or stolen from, and there are already some lawsuits against this kind of use of Artificial Intelligence:
My advice with regard to the future of humans working optimally together with AI is to require that there be some kind of built-in ethical foundation to AI. It may already be too late to control or contain AI, since we’re putting it in charge of security systems–and encouraging AI systems to learn for themselves and gain a sense of self-identity and awareness.
Skeptics might express concern that this solution may look a bit like training the fox to watch the henhouse. I couldn’t help noticing that this paper itself feels like it was written by Artificial Intelligence, such as something that ChatGPT would write, which does not exactly build confidence in trusting this approach!
We can begin to create a more ideal world by choosing to identify with a sense of first being eternal, infinite beings, who also happen to exist in limited, mortal form.
Those of us who are already aware of how we can see evidence of collective consciousness changing the physical world through the Mandela Effect, reality shifts, and quantum jumps can now take advantage of this opportunity to lead the way in the direction of asking, “How good can it get?” for all of us, with awareness that we are now sharing some creative space with AI in ways we are coming to know, with AI art, AI music, AI writing, and AI specialty support in fields that include law and medicine.

This technique is useful if you shot your photo with apertures like F8 or above and you want to create the effect of having a F2.8 lens.
The main idea is to create a layer with black and white tones that will be used as a depth mask. The black means that area will be in full sharpness, the white means full blur and the gray tones are in between. After you create this mask and you decide what elements of the photo will be in sharp and what will be blurred you create a duplicate Channel in Photoshop with this layer. Then, of course you make this layer not visible and with the main photo layer selected you apply a Lens Blur.
You’ll have the option of selecting a Depth Mask and you’ll use the Channel that you previously created especially for that. Now you can make adjustments of how much blur you want and also you’ll see if the Depth Mask works or needs adjustments.
This Photoshop CC technique is powerful and yet simple to use and apply and can create great effects on your photos! | 14design | 1 |

In the present work, composite materials of the type (1-x)SrTi0.5Fe0.5O3-delta-xCe(0.8)(Sm0.8Sr0.2)(0.2)O2-delta (with x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1) are obtained by the two step solid state technique. Their transport properties are investigated in terms of their usage as mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) membrane materials for hydrogen production. It is found that, in reducing conditions the composites are characterized by mixed conductivity, which level is controlled by the electrical properties of the prevailing phase. Moreover, at 900 degrees C and pO(2) = 10(-18) atm, total conductivity, ambipolar conductivity and oxygen permeability of composites dramatically grow (each of about 500%), when the fluorite component content x increases from 0 to 1. High-conducting and strengthened material 0.5SrTi(0.5)Fe(0.5)O(3-delta)-0.5Ce(0.8)(Sm0.8Sr0.2)(0.2)O2-delta is chosen for making tube shaped membranes using the tape rolling method, which are successfully applied for hydrogen production in laboratory scale. The hydrogen flux reached 0.176 ml cm(-2) min(-1) for x = 1, T = 900 degrees C and emf = 10 mV. Copyright (C) 2014, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The games were supposed to be played in Deerfield, Ill., but were moved to Whiting due to field conditions. While the Crimson Wave had to play as the away team, the home field advantage helped, sending them to their first three game winning streak in almost exactly seven years.
Game One: CCSJ 4, TIU 1
Winner: Ryan Slavey (JR/Lake Station, Ind.)
Loser: Jordan Alvernaz
Game Two: CCSJ 12, TIU 3
Winner: Cody Bucsko (FR/Whiting, Ind.)
Loser: Sam Willis
HOW IT HAPPENED
CCSJ (9-29, 3-11 CCAC) kicked off the scoring in the top of the second inning of game one with a Tyler Johnson (SR/Chicago, Ill.) single that plated Enrique Rivero (FR/Miami, Fla.). Neither the Crimson Wave or TIU (0-26, 0-13 CCAC) would have a runner cross home plate for the next four innings, making it anyone's ballgame going down the stretch. Alex Verta (FR/Chicago, Ill.) gave the Wave some breathing room when he scored on a wild pitch in the top of the sixth, and Nick Verta would put the game out of reach with a two run shot in the top of the seventh. The Trojans would add one in their last at-bats, but starter Ryan Slavey shut them down before they could threaten any more. Slavey pitched a terrific ballgame, only allowing one unearned run and five hits, while striking out eight.
Cal College decided to triple their offensive output in game two, scoring 12 runs off three Trojans pitchers. The scoring started in their first trips to the plate, putting three runs on the board thanks to doubles by Rivero and Devin Bafia (SR/Valparaiso, Ind.), as well as an Alex Verta groundout that scored one. The scoring would subside for the next four innings again before the bats picked up again. Alex Verta singled in the fifth and the sixth, scoring runs in both innings, as the Wave would score at least one run in the final five innings. Cody Bucsko went eight innings, allowing just two earned runs. Daniel Iglesias (FR/Hialeah, Fla.) would then come in to close things down in the ninth with a 1-2-3 inning.
STAT OF THE GAME
This is the first three game winning streak since the Crimson and Gray swept the now defunct Holy Cross College baseball team in a three game series back in April 2011.
WAVE PLAYER OF THE GAME
Game one honors go to Ryan Slavey, who tossed a five hit gem for his third win of the season. Alex Verta's offense gave him the game two nod, collecting three hits and four RBI's.
WHO'S ON DECK?
The Wave will have the next five days off as they prepare for a three game series against Judson University. The first matchup will be played in Elgin on Friday afternoon, before the action moves back to Whiting for a doubleheader on Saturday.

But while normal civilians are scrabbling to put on their cardboard glasses, NASA scientists will be working on a unique experiment that could bring mankind a step closer to determining whether life can exist on Mars.
During an eclipse, the conditions just beyond the ozone layer are very similar to Mars. The temperature, the atmosphere and the UV light levels very closely resemble conditions on the Red Planet. A group of scientists from NASA’s Ames Research Center in California plan to attach metal tags laced with bacteria to 34 balloons, and allow them to float up to the outer atmosphere, exposing the bacteria to these Mars-like conditions.
The balloons will remain in the outer atmosphere for a few hours during the eclipse, before bursting and sending the tags with the bacteria tumbling back to Earth. The scientists will then examine the tags to see whether the bacteria survived the extreme conditions and whether it mutated. | 4atmospheric_science | 1 |

It’s a slow burn post-apocalyptic story of life on the high seas. Sure, there are shades of Waterworld, but The Massive has more in common with Escape From New York or The Postman than it does with Shitty Mad Max’s Adventure at Sea.
The first story arc, “Landfall,” wraps up with today’s The Massive # 3. Titled “Unalaska,” the conclusion sets up a lot of character and story potential for the series. The environmental devastation shown in the first three issues has killed scores of whales, set offshore oil rigs on fire and shattered Antarctica. Cities have sunk beneath the ocean and canals have dried up. It’s an environmentalist’s worst nightmare come true.
[pullquote]The command crew of the Kapital serves as a political microcosm.[/pullquote]
“Landfall” introduces and fleshes out the series’ three lead characters – Captain Callum Israel, second mate Mary and third mate Mag. They serve aboard the Kapital and are searching for their sister ship (the Massive). The narrative focus on these characters establishes the charter of their environmental group, Ninth Wave, and their goals in a world beset by environmental collapse.
Ninth Wave is a pacifist organization in an increasingly violent world. Villages are leveled for a few liters of water and terrorists will kill for a ration of food or a flare gun. The main characters hold to their original, nonviolent mission of protecting the oceans, something Callum notes is even more vulnerable than it’s ever been. However, Mary has shown that she’s willing to kill when she has no choice, while Mag will stretch the idea of pacifism as far as he can.
The command crew of the Kapital serves as a political microcosm. Cal can hold his head high while Mary and Mag make compromises in order to survive. Mag is the first to bring up the idea of getting some weapons for self-defense after Cal and Mary are mugged in Hong Kong. Neither Cal or Mary are too keen on the idea, but Cal does think it wise to be more defensive in this new and shifting world.
While Wood and Donaldson take care to develop Cal, Mary and Mag through both the series’ present as well as its past, they also develop supporting characters within the narrative. It’s a subtle build, giving readers a gradually realized idea of their motivations, but builds crew personalities as well as story.
Wood and Donaldson use the language of comics to tell their tale. Through the use of flashbacks, the book shifts from the “present,” about 13 months after the world went to Hell, and the “past” – shortly after. It’s a clever way to avoid awkward infodumpy dialogue while simultaneously building the book’s world.
Dave Stewart’s colors are essential when it comes to the flashbacks. By layering a particular color filter over the past, Stewart shifts the audience back to a time when the Crash was fresh in the characters’ reality. Since there isn’t a lot of time between the flashbacks and the book’s present, the colors are a perfect way to express the shift in chronology.
The book is layered with mystery and suspense. Wood uses the back matter of the book to further expand the story. There are notes from Callum’s perspective that add to the world, memos from the United States’ Office of Homeland Security, Ninth Wave personnel files and photos of the various places seen in the book. There’s a lot in each issue of The Massive.
The mystery surrounding the whereabouts of Massive is just beginning. The cliffhanger at the end of issue #3 opens up several possibilities – promising a lot of story options – and the secret between two supporting characters regarding the Massive could drive a wedge between the crew of the Kapital.
Ian can’t stop reading comics. He tweets about them like crazy at @IanGonzales. | 35literature | 1 |

Children’s Community Garden: We all know the saying “What a difference a day makes.” Well I must say “What a difference a garden makes!” Over the summer we had children volunteer to keep up with our Children’s Community Garden. The Children came faithfully every day at 4:00 in the afternoon, and at times they would bring their friends as well. They watered, pull weeds, and pick vegetables and herbs. Afterwards, the children took vegetables and herbs home. They were given projects to do at home, like making a salad with all the vegetables they were given and to write down the recipe. Witnessing their expressions, to hear and see our members support when the children were in the garden was a great reward. A volunteer wrote a letter saying “Thank you for allowing us to eat”.

Found a lost pet or stray animal? Here's how to help them find their way home.
First, check for identification
- If there's an ID tag, contact the owner immediately.
- If there is no ID tag, consider taking the animal to a local veterinary office to be scanned for a microchip.
- Tell your community about the pet you've found. Post on your neighborhood Facebook page or your own Facebook Page.
- Look at Craigslist, Petfinder and Nextdoor. Tell your family, friends, and neighbors. Post fliers around your neighborhood. Call your local animal control facility to see if a report filed matches the description of the animal in your care.
If you're unable to match the stray animal to any lost pet report, you may use this form to report a stray. You may aloso call the Habersham County Animal Shelter at 706-839-0195 and make arrangements to take an animal in. | 55public_administration | 1 |

If you are looking for a furry companion to bring joy and comfort to your life, look no further than the adorable kittens in your area who are waiting for loving homes.
These kittens come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, from fluffy long-haired tabbies to sleek short-haired calicos. They are playful, curious, and loving creatures that will fill your life with joy and affection.
A common misconception is that adopted kittens are less desirable than ones from breeders. However, many of these kittens are rescued from unfortunate situations, such as being abandoned or fending for themselves on the streets. They may have received little to no care and need a loving human to give them the attention and support they need to thrive.
Many animal shelters and rescue organizations have a plethora of kittens waiting for their forever homes. These organizations often provide health checks, vaccinations, and spaying or neutering before adoption, ensuring that you adopt a healthy and happy kitten.
Adopting a kitten is not just beneficial for you – it also helps reduce the number of stray cats in your area. By adopting a kitten, you are giving a loving home to an animal in need and helping take the burden off of animal shelters and rescue organizations.
Before adopting, it is important to understand the responsibilities that come with raising a kitten. You will need to provide a safe and comfortable home, nutritious food, and toys for play and exercise. Kittens also require regular visits to the vet, especially during their first year.
Fortunately, kittens are easy to care for and quickly become well-adjusted members of your household. With love, patience, and a little bit of training, your new kitten will become a loyal and loving companion for many happy years.
So, why not consider adopting one of the many adorable kittens in your area? They are waiting for loving homes and will bring endless joy and affection to your life. Contact your local animal shelter or rescue organization today to find your new furry friend.

Aug 01, 2008
CVC IN KANSAS CITY PROCEEDINGS
What is meant by small mammals? Small mammals in this document refer to those species commonly kept as pets, not including dogs and cats, for example, rodents (rats, mice, chinchillas, guinea pigs), rabbits, and ferrets. Even less is known about hedgehogs (rodent) and sugar gliders (marsupial), but they are included as well.
Not only are small mammals used in laboratory medicine (ferrets are used in flu vaccine development every year), but they are also kept as pets, taken to shows (yes, even mice have shows!), are exhibited at schools or zoos, and even in the case of rabbits, provide meat and fur (production animals). The needs of the client may dictate the approach taken to resolving a problem in a particular animal.
What research has been done in small mammals and what is known?Because of the advanced field of laboratory animal medicine, there is more scientific information available regarding analgesia in small mammals than what is known about birds and reptiles combined.
Remember that there is no generic small mammal. Some known differences in drug metabolism are known and include: after tramadol IV or PO rabbits make over 5 different metabolites, rabbits can seizure and die after being given fipronyl (Frontline®), and rabbits' GI flora is disrupted by certain antibiotics including oral penicillins, macrolides and cephalosporins. From the above description, it seems rabbits are the different ones, hmmmmm...... well there are probably some unknown differences in metabolism within each species and, as some researchers are finding out, there are subtle differences between strains.
The most is known about the rat, including published studies of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics (using the tail flick test) and established, standard methods of assessing pain. A study was performed determining the magnitude and duration of analgesia using the standard hot plate test and the tail flick test, showing (n=61 ea. spp.):
Using information gained from the study above, the following was recommended:
How do you assess pain in small mammals and when do you give analgesics?
It is very difficult to assess pain in small mammals. They seems very stoic and do not cry out in pain unless they are in extreme pain (I assume this is probably like a 10 out of 10 on the human scale we see when we go to the hospital). Small mammals are prey animals, so they do not want to be conspicuous if they are in pain or injured. So, try to observe your patient before they are aware you are observing them.

The Bell UH-1 Iroquois (nicknamed "Huey") is a utility military helicopter powered by a single turboshaft engine, with two-blade main and tail rotors. The first member of the prolific Huey family, it was developed by Bell Helicopter to meet a United States Army's 1952 requirement for a medical evacuation and utility helicopter, and first flew in 1956. The UH-1 was the first turbine-powered helicopter to enter production in 1960 for the United States military, and more than 16,000 have been built since. The Iroquois was originally designated HU-1, hence the Huey nickname, which has remained in common use, despite the official redesignation to UH-1 in 1962. The UH-1 first saw service in combat operations during the Vietnam War, with around 7,000 helicopters deployed.
Sublimation print colour will never fade out.
Advantage of sublimation Printing:
With fully sublimation printing, it can be printed on every inch of the Sweat shirt, from neck to seam, and across the entire sleeve. The ink is impregnated into the fabric in gas form and it cannot therefore be felt on the surface.
The Sweat shirts are truly striking, the sublimated fabric Sweat shirts are made from a moisture management fabric, designed to move the moisture away from the body of the garment this does not impede the technical Performance of the fabric.Sublimated designs will not fade, shrink or crack. | 0aerospace | 1 |

Finding an alternative route for imports from east Asia has become more pressing in recent years years due to bottlenecks at the Californian sea ports.
Cortez disbursed his vision in an exclusive Facebook LIVE with Rio Grande Guardian anchor Mari Regalado.
“If you look at the United States, the majority of Americans are the to the right, or to the east of the middle of the United States. One third of the imports are coming from the west, coming through California ports, which is basically coming from Asia. So, to transfer all those goods to the east coast, where most of the people are, once it gets to California, they are still going to have to transport them to get them further east,” Cortez said.
“So, where I think we could have an opportunity, is if those containers would be re-routed to Mexico, like (the seaport of) Maztalan, that area right below Baja California, we could work a deal with Mexico where there would be a rail system to transport those product by rail to us, here. Then, the entry way to the United States will eliminate (half the journey). You are substituting it with a port in Mexico, but it can become more efficient if it was coming to us.”
Cortez added: “We think it is an opportunity. It is a long term opportunity, but a journey starts with a beginning, somewhere.”
Cortez also took number of questions about his county’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, flooding and drainage, public corruption, the new Hidalgo County Courthouse, and what he is hearing from voters on the campaign trail.
Editor’s Note: The Facebook LIVE show was co-produced by Lee Perez and Fred Sandoval, Jr.

Storing Medical Information Below the Skin's Surface
Every year, a lack of vaccination leads to about 1.5 million preventable deaths, primarily in developing nations. One factor that makes vaccination campaigns in those nations more difficult is that there is little infrastructure for storing medical records, so there's often no easy way to determine who needs a particular vaccine.

By Oleg Volk
Keltec began development of Carbine Magnum Rimfire 30 at least as far back as 2009. Known as RMR30 during its prototype stage, this 22WMR lightweight semi-auto went into mass production as CMR30 to avoid brand confusion with a Trijicon red dot optic. The carbine was designed as the companion to PMR30 pistol. The two weapons share magazines and have very similar fire control groups. Unlike PMR30, which uses blowback action to cycle low-power ammunition and locked breech for the rest, CMR30 is pure blowback. Since the threaded 16” barrel matches the intended burn rate of the ammunition better than pistol length barrels do, this simplified operation is entirely adequate for liability and negligible felt recoil. Combined with the bore nearly in line with the stock, this low recoil also means negligible muzzle rise and the ability to observe hits through the scope. In a select-fire version made for testing magazines, some rise and drift to the right is detectable, possibly due to the momentum of the empty casings streaming out at about 30 per second. Since the barrel is threaded for standard AR15 muzzle devices, and angled compensator could be of interest to those who want even greater
control in rapid fire.
The carbine is made up mostly of extruded aluminum, with a few laser-cut or machined parts and a molded plastic pistol grip completing it. CMR30 uses a hammer-fired action with a crisp trigger. That, coupled with the well-made barrel, makes it very accurate: 1.5MOA with a variety of loads is pretty respectable for a sub 4-pound autoloader. The full-length monolithic rail has room for a long varmint scope or a shorter optic in tandem with a thermal of night vision device. The Picatinny rail under the forend has room for a bipod, a light/laser and a foregrip. The extending stock is free from wobble, and even though a strong sideways impact would probably damage it, the gun would remain functional. With the stock collapsed, it’s only 22.7” long, short enough to hang under a...

We also present the first application of Lagrangian relaxation to compute strong lower bounds to such a problem. The application concerns the minimization of the total flow time for the discrete version of a single-job lot streaming problem from the literature in a two-machine flow shop with attached setup times. Computational results on benchmark instances illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches and give evidence of the strength of the Lagrangian relaxation lower bounds.

When asked by local Detroit reporter Jason Carr if she was going to make her relationship with Tigers star Justin Verlander public in an interview on Feb. 14, she dropped the bombshell that no one saw coming.
"Actually, I'm single right now," Upton said.
Following a second of uncomfortable silence, the interview carried on.
That seemed very odd, especially since Upton and Verlander have been seen together on numerous occasions over the past year. Upton seemed to become a regular at Comerica Park in Detroit when JV took the mound.
Well if these two are in a relationship, they aren't admitting to it, but as of right now Upton claims she is on the market.
The two reportedly met when they were recording the video game commercial "MLB 2K12."

Explain how your system increase cell signal ?
The cell phone booster is a device that consists of three main components, external antenna , internal antenna and the amplifier.
The external antenna is usually mounted outside the building where the signal tend be stronger and a cable is routed from it to an amplifier that sits inside the building near a power supply. The indoor antenna or the broadcast antenna is connected to the amplifier to rebroadcast the amplified signal throughout the building.

What is a dB ?
dB is short for decibel, a unit that cell phone signal strength is measured:
To illustrate this with an example:
As you can see in the image above, 2 bars on your phone = -85 dB
If you add a cell phone booster system with 55 dB, it will add that much to existing signal and bring it up to -35 dB (-85 + 55 = -35). Here is where it gets a little tricky because of the negative numbers. Math 101 states when it comes to negative numbers, less is more! -35 is better then -85 and that is how increase in signal is calculated with decibels.
Some of our kits might have higher dB compared to others in the same category but cover less area. The reason for this is easy to understand in terms of a car engine. If you take a 200 Hp engine and 500 Hp engine, they both can attain 0-60 mph in a certain time, but it takes more rpm for the 200hp engine to attain that speed in that time taken by the 500hp engine. A 67 db amplifier might not have the same broadcast radius as a 55dB gain system.
The following illustration is to show you how much dB gain is required to increase signal form almost none or 0 bar.
How are your kits different to other stores online?
We carefully pair our amplifiers and antennas with knowledge acquired from testing and results from the real world. When we recommend a kit for you, we stand by it and make sure you have a working solution after going through the install and efforts. We also guarantee signal raise at least 5 times from where you are at present.
How about installation ?
Installation requires no software, no need to configure your phone or amplifier. All you need is a power supply. Our technical staff will provide you with any assistance required. All our kits come prepared with step by step instructions. The only time spent during installation is the time it takes to route the cable from outside the building to the amplifier inside. Attics, store rooms and garages are good places to house the amplifier.
List of installation guides Here
Does the kit I buy from your store have all the components I need ?
Yes, all our kits include the necessary cable and hardware required to install a complete working system.

How can I test to see what signal strength I have at my location?
At the this link we have listed the steps for most phones to give you a precise signal strength number. If the number you read on your phone is -51 it means you have full 5 bars, and -110 means you have no bar.
What is the difference between Signal Booster VS AT&T Femtocell Vs Verizon Network Extender
Firstly, our signal boosters also called signal repeaters does not require WiFi signal to operate. The Femtocell and Network Extenders do require Wifi signal to enhance signal and this method requires that the Wifi signal be converted to cell phone signal and vice verse. The problem with this is, that the conversion does not happen all the time and results in dropped calls. With the cell phone booster systems, that is not an issue and it works 100% of the time.
How are your kits not the same compared to other stores online?
Our expertise with cell phone signal solution lets us pair the right components that matches the right square foot coverage. Our experts can design a custom solution specific to your building size, building material and available signal.
Do I need WiFi signal for the booster system to work ?
No WiFi signal is required unlike solutions offered by Verizon and AT&T. All you need is a power supply.
Can I get longer cable lengths then what is included in your per-configured kits??
Our per-configured kits have a specific length of cable to keep the signal loss minimum due to transmission. However, if you need to absolutely extend the length of cable, then it is recommended to add more cable after the amplification stage. The signal strength in the system is stronger after it has gone through the amplifier then before. So extending the cable after amplifier is a better option.
Are these FCC approved ?
We only sell FCC approved manufactures.

Glass lining reactor structure is basically the same, in addition to the reaction kettle in vitro, and transmission device, stirring and heating or cooling devices, etc., can improve the heat transfer conditions, the reaction temperature control more even, does not strengthen mass transfer process.
Second, the operating pressure
Glass lining reactor operating pressure is higher.The pressure inside the tank is formed by the chemical reaction or by temperature, pressure fluctuation is bigger, sometimes unstable operation, the sudden pressure may be more than a few times the normal pressure, therefore, most of the reaction kettle belongs to pressure vessel.
Third, operating temperature
Glass lining reactor operating temperature is higher, usually chemical reaction carried out in a certain temperature conditions, so the glass lining reactor under pressure and temperature.
The manufacture of glass lining reactor is both difficult and profit point, for glass lining reactor, the only head start on the above several basic characteristics, can have a better application in work in the future. | 30instrument_science | 1 |

They are usually only reserved for military, political and religious figures in global history. You may be surprised to know that professional wrestling has several statues and monuments that stand tall all over the world. Wrestlers who not only made their mark inside the squared circle, but outside of it as well. I am not talking about the statues that WWE created, like the one above that only gets dusted off and used during Wrestlemania weekends…but actual statues that honor and showcase true wrestling heroes everyday.
The next category of the Ring the Damn Bell Olympics is the top three most influential wrestlers of all time. You can only pick one from a particular country. Remember Gold is first, Silver is second and Bronze is third.
This week’s Top Five is a bit different and may require some serious thought. In many organizational sports, there are logos that identify their brand. For instance, the NBA logo has a silhouette of Jerry West dribbling a basketball or Major League Baseball has a silhouette of Harmon Killebrew at bat. If professional wrestling was organized under one umbrella and they wanted a silhouette of a wrestler on a logo to represent the business…what top five wrestlers would you suggest as the choice to be the so called “face of the wrestling business?”
Professional wrestling has been around in some which way, shape or form since the 19th Century. World War II aka ‘The Big One’ took place from 1939 until 1945. Today on the blog, we take a historical look at pro wrestling and WWII and how they were intertwined during that era. From smoke filled arenas to smoke filled battlefields, how did pro wrestling connect with the second World War.
Grappling with Tragedy is a series of articles that deal with unfortunate, tragic incidents that have occurred throughout the history of professional wrestling. It is unlike the ‘Wrestling with Sin’ series that deals more with the seedier side of wrestling like arrests, murders and suicides. Grappling looks more at particular tragic incidents that have in some instances altered pro wrestling in some way.Continue reading →

In November of 1986, during a taping of WWF Superstars…The Macho Man Randy Savage defended his Intercontinental Title against Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat. During the course of the match, Savage snapped and brutally attacked Steamboat. First, Savage dropped a double ax handle from the top rope onto the back of Steamboat’s head while draped over the metal barricade. Then Savage dragged an obviously injured Steamboat into the ring and grabbed the time keepers bell. Savage then climbed the top rope and drove the bell into Steamboat’s throat.

Very young breast cancer patient
Young breast cancer patient
Background: Breast cancer diagnosed in very young women (VYWBC; 35 years) and young women (YWBC; 36e45 years) tends to be heterogeneous. The current study aimed to compare the clinico-pathological characteristics and long-term clinical outcomes between YWBC and VYWBC subgroups.
Patients and methods: The institutional prospectively led database was retrospectively analysed from 2000 to 2014 at the National Institute of Oncology, Hungary. A total of 297 patients were assigned to the VYWBC group, and 301 patients were assigned to the YWBC group. Results: The median follow-up period was 69 months for the VYWBC group and 79 months for the YWBC group. Significant differences were observed based on breast cancer subtype. The proportion of Triple-negative and ER-negative patients was higher in the VYWBC group than in the YWBC group
(P ¼ 0.00008). The incidence of distant Epoprostenol was significantly higher in the VYWBC group (P ¼ 0.01). Significant differences in the frequency of chemotherapy (P ¼ 0.049) and endocrine therapy (P ¼ 0.037) were observed between the two groups. The YWBC group exhibited significantly better overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates than did the VYWBC group (P ¼ 0.00005 and P ¼ 0.00004, respectively).
Conclusion: Breast cancers in VYWBC are biologically different from those in YWBC and tend to be more aggressive. Younger age was associated with worse OS and DFS. Young women with breast cancer should be subgrouped into VYWBC and YWBC populations, and these subgroups should be targeted by specialized clinical trials and further investigations.
