CHILDREN MAY EXPERIENCE LONG TERM EFFECTS OF DISASTER
Rural Mental Health Project

Children need time to heal from traumatic events. Studies of children following natural disasters have shown that children may experience emotional and behavioral effects for months, one year or even two years following the disaster.
- Nightmares become more common, especially about the disaster. Vivid memories may intrude during the day.
- Young children reenact parts of the disaster in their play.
- Storms bring fear.
- Preschoolers tend to personify the disaster in some way. The flood may become like an evil person in their eyes.
- Children generally feel more anxiety than their parents are aware of. Increasing physical complaints (headaches, stomach aches) may be caused by stress and anxiety.
- Academic performance suffers; falling grades, disruptiveness in class, rudeness and falling asleep in class contribute to academic problems.
- After severe disasters, even children as young as 7 and 8 have attempted suicide.
- Children, as well as adults, may be sad and long for "the way life used to be." Some children withdraw from life.
- Sleep may be difficult.
- They may become upset easily or hide their distress to protect other family members.
- Boys tend to have more difficulty talking about their losses and showing their feelings. They may act out instead.
- Children also develop in character. Many show insight and increasing concern for others. Adolescents tend to lose some of their sense of invulnerability. They realize they, or someone like them, could be devastated by a similar disaster.
The intensity of a child's reaction depends on a variety of factors: amount of loss and threat to life, the family's reaction, stress or a troubled home before the disaster, and violence in the home. Any kind of marked change in behavior may indicate a strong need for mental health consultation. Extreme behaviors also signal a need for intervention. Destructive acts toward property, harming pets or people, frequent panic attacks, or substance abuse call for immediate action on the child's behalf. Other changes that justify intervention are: an inability or unwillingness to socialize, feeling responsible for the disaster or the family's losses, or a significant drop in school performance that lasts more than a few weeks.
Especially for Parents: Helping Your Child Adjust
Reassure your child that, most importantly, you still have one another and you plan to stay together.
Return to your family's daily routine as soon as possible: meal times, bedtime rituals, birthday celebrations.
Children's coping often depends on how well their parents are coping. If you find yourself depressed, rageful, or tempted to lash out at your family, stop and evaluate your coping methods. Consider visiting a counselor, mental health professional, or member of clergy to talk about other ways of coping. Share your feelings with a trusted friend. When parents do not deal well with their own feelings, children may suffer longer and more intensely.
Share your grief over the disaster. This helps your child express feelings, too. Talk about the family's losses and plans for coping: financial realities, how long it may take to recover, accepting some losses as permanent. Make explanations simple for young children.
Children often express fear and anger through their play. Acknowledge their feelings as okay. Hold and comfort your child. Children generally accept your religious beliefs. These beliefs may be comforting now. Or your child may be confused: "How could our God allow this to happen?" Encourage their questions, and answer honestly even if the answer is "I don't know." Together, take these questions to a religious leader who can help you find answers, strengthening both your faith and your family.
If your child lost a special possession, allow time to grieve and cry. This is part of helping your child deal with feelings about the disaster.
Prepare a family emergency plan. Knowing what to do in the event of another emergency will reduce your child's anxiety.
Help others, locally and nationally, as they respond to disasters. Send clothes, food, toys, or encouraging letters.
Especially for Teachers: Helping Children Who Hurt after the Disaster
1. Incorporate healing activities into the classroom.
After a disaster, children need physical, tangible ways to experience and express grief. Acting out or writing their disaster story can offer relief. Talk about how the disaster has changed their personal history and the history of the community to help children understand that they are not alone in their loss. Rituals are very important. Perhaps all the children in the class can work together to create a ritual or ceremony to commemorate their losses and their hopes for the future.
These kinds of activities may adapt well to English, Social Science, or History classes.
2. Look out for depression.
In the months after the disaster, distress may settle into depression for both parents and children. Childhood depression doesn't look like adult depression, but it is important to diagnose. Depression, particularly in teens, may lead to suicide attempts.
Depression in Preschoolers: tantrums, physical complaints, brief periods of sadness, listlessness, or hyperactivity, lack of interest in activities, withdrawal.
Depression in ages 5-11: phobias, hyperactivity, conduct disorders (lying, stealing), refusal to attend school, refusal to leave parents, periods of sadness, vague anxiety or agitation, suicidal thoughts.
Depression in Adolescents: changes in appearance, withdrawal, fatigue, eating problems, substance abuse, risk-taking, sudden change in peer group, loss of interest, sleep problems, hostility, suicidal thoughts.
If you suspect a child is suffering from depression, suggest that the parents have the child evaluated by a physician or a psychologist for a diagnosis. You also might refer the child to the school counselor or social worker.
3. Be alert to increased problems at home.
Increased family stress during the months after the disaster may ignite violence - violence among adults and/or violence against children. Be aware of changes in children's behavior that may indicate violence at home. Report any signs of violence to Child Protective Services.
VIOLENCE AT HOME MEANS CHILDREN AT RISK
Recognizing the Signs
- Poor performance - the home environment is not conducive to studying.
- Difficulty relating to school authority figures
Other children find school a distraction from their problems at home. They may appear to be model students; but they may show other signs of a violent home.
- Distrust adults: they do not trust parents and project that distrust onto other adults.
- Show passive or aggressive responses to conflict
Adolescents are especially anxious about peers. They fear others will uncover their secret and ostracize or ridicule them. These adolescents may isolate themselves from peers.
- Crying or reluctance when it is time to go home
- Fear; some may be startled by unexpected noises or arguments at school
- Express anger through character assassination: swearing, name calling, put-downs, criticisms.
- Listlessness-may have been kept up all night by fighting
- Marks and bruises
- Disheveled clothes
- Acting out
WHAT YOU CAN DO IF YOU SUSPECT VIOLENCE AT HOME
- Recognize the signs.
- Listen to the child. Ask "Are things difficult at home?" Make no judgments about the family; just listen. Take the child seriously. Reassure the child that he or she is not at fault. This, in itself, offers a lot of relief.
- Never offer a quick fix.
- Never agree to keep it a secret.
- Involve the appropriate school staff: counselors, social workers, etc.
- Consult local agencies like Child Protective Services.
- If you suspect there is violence in the home, report it. Children in violent homes often become targets of violence. Report early - prevent abuse of this child.
- Be a friend to the child. Find genuine abilities and characteristics to praise. Be generous with praise and affection.
- Encourage the child to find physical outlets, like running, to vent stored up anger.
- If agencies do not or are not able to address the violent home at this point, stay alert for signs of child abuse.

All Hallows' Eve is approaching and soon the celebration of Halloween will begin. According to tradition, all sorts of ghosts, goblins and ghoulish creatures creep and crawl from their dark, dank domiciles on the night of Oct. 31 to terrorize the earth's human inhabitants.
Of the horrifying creatures that run rampant on All Hallows' Eve, some are grotesque human figures and some are animals including bats, snakes, spiders and even an insect or two.
It's not surprising that insects and spiders are part of the ghastly crew relegated by generations of humanity to a starring role on Halloween. Spiders as a group have earned their spot by being somewhat reclusive and stringing their webs in every nook and cranny. Of course the food habits of spiders and the presence of poison fangs in some adds to the macabre atmosphere. The Black Widow spider may even be considered the queen of Halloween trick or treaters. She has earned her haunting title because of her murderous behavior
Mating in predatory insects and spiders is a dangerous and somewhat deadly game. In these arthropods, the male sometimes becomes a meal for his mate. The Black Widow spiders, the small male tries to sneak away from his mate but is not often successful. Hence, she becomes the Black Widow.
Moths have been associated with Halloween scenes. These night-flying insects are attracted to lights. No doubt the presence of moths dancing around a candle flame during a spiritual event, such as a funeral wake, has contributed to a mystical view of the insect. In the Middle Ages and earlier, the moth was considered to be a spirit, a human soul.
One moth is appropriately named for a role in Halloween celebrations. It is called the Death's Head Moth (one of the largest moths found in Europe), because it has wing markings in the shape of a skull and crossbones. In the poem "Haunted House," Thomas Hood makes use of this insect in a refrain suitable for any Halloween celebration:
"The air was thick, and in the upper room
The bat-or something in its shape-was winging;
And on the wall, as chilly as a tomb
The death's head moth was clinging."
It's not surprising that spiders and insects are used to spice up many
Halloween celebrations. After all, some people consider these arthropods the chief of the world's creepy crawlies.

Incorporated Trustee
DEFINITION of 'Incorporated Trustee'
A corporation, usually a trust company, which is named as the trustee of a private trust or other fiduciary account. Incorporated trustees stand in contrast to an individual person or "natural trustee," who may also be selected as the trustee of such an account. In both cases, the trustee's role is to execute the instructions of the trust's grantor as well as manage the assets of the trust.
BREAKING DOWN 'Incorporated Trustee'
There are two primary advantages of appointing an incorporated trustee. First, since corporations theoretically never die or become incapacitated, they will likely outlast individual trustees. Second, since professional trustees focus all their time on this role, they're typically more knowledgeable about the role and less likely to mismanage the trust. The two primary disadvantages are the costs of professional trust management and a lack of understanding for the grantor's unexpressed wishes.

2 Answers 2
You could use Powershell, there are multiple options depending on what you want to do:
To log the CPU % of a specific process:
PS C:\Users\mmoor> $A=Get-Process
PS C:\Users\mmoor> $A[0].Name
PS C:\Users\mmoor> $A[0].CPU
PS C:\Users\mmoor> "$($A[0].Name) --- $($A[0].CPU)" >>.\ProcessCPU.Log
You could also just send the output of Get-Process to a file:
PS C:\Users\mmoor> Get-Process >>.\ProcessCPU.Log
You could create a schedule task that runs a script like this automatically.

Process Explorer can do this, although you can only create dump files for individual processes. It does provide an easy way to view all running processes though.

Lessons learnt and way forward
CONTEÚDO DO MÓDULO
The extension of social protection coverage to workers in the informal economy requires an integrated strategy to overcome the various barriers to social protection coverage. In most cases, a combination of different measures will be necessary to offer an effective, equitable and sustainable solution. As sketched out in the previous chapters, there is no one-size-fits all approach – solutions always need to respond to the concrete challenges and realities. However, some general lessons can be drawn based on international experience. This module provides a summary of lessons learnt and discusses the way forward and how to strengthen social protection for the future of work.
LESSONS LEARNT ON THE EXTENSION OF COVERAGE
TO WORKERS IN THE INFORMAL ECONOMY
- Promoting a comprehensive and integrated strategy for the extension of coverage: The extension of coverage to workers in the informal economy should be part of a comprehensive and integrated national social protection strategy, led by the government and built around fundamental principles, including the universality of protection; adequacy and predictability of benefits; financial, fiscal and economic sustainability; non-discrimination, gender equality and responsiveness to special needs; transparent and sound administration; and tripartite participation.
- Meeting priority needs and designing adapted solutions: Social protection benefits should be designed in a way to meet people's priority needs, covering both short-term and long-term risks and providing quality benefits and services in a transparent way.
- Extending legal coverage and adapting the legal framework: It is important to extend legal coverage to previously uncovered categories of workers. Legal frameworks should be appropriate and adapted to the needs of both workers and employers, and encourage transition to the formal economy.
- Facilitating access and simplifying administrative procedures: Administrative procedures, including the registration of enterprises and workers, payment of taxes and contributions, should be as simple as possibleensuring that these are adapted to the needs and capacities of the target group.
- Taking into account the financial capacity of workers in the informal economy: It is necessary to design schemes in a way that takes into account the contributory capacity of the worker, and foresees appropriate mechanisms to adapt contribution rates and contribution schedules.
- Facilitating the enforcement of the law and enhancing compliance: Ensuring compliance with the legal framework is essential in enforcing the law in a uniform way and ensuring a level playing field for enterprises.
- Complementing the extension of contributory coverage with non-contributory schemes, and building national social protection floors: To guarantee a basic level of protection and avoid the exclusion of those groups of workers that do not have access to any other mechanisms, especially low-income groups in the informal economy, the extension of contributory social protection coverage should be complemented by efforts to build and strengthen non-contributory schemes.
- Embedding access to social protection in an integrated approach to facilitate transition from the informal to the formal economy: The extension of social protection coverage is one important component of larger strategies to facilitate transition from the informal to the formal economy. Linking different policy areas, and strengthening synergies can multiply positive impacts.
HOW TO PROVIDE UNIVERSAL AND ADEQUATE SOCIAL PROTECTION FOR THE FUTURE OF WORK
- How to provide adequate coverage for workers in all forms of employment, including those in new forms of employment?
- How to prevent the informalization of formal employment, and ensure that workers in "new" forms of informal employment can transition to the formal economy?
- How to ensure a good financing mix for social protection systems, based on a combination of contributions and taxes?
- In many cases, new forms of employment are found in non-standard forms of employment. Much of the work is part-time and temporary, with blurred lines between genuine self-employment and dependent self-employment.
- Many workers, but not necessarily all, have lower job and income security, poorer working conditions, coupled with significant deficits in social protection coverage, as compared to workers in standard forms of employment.
- Where social protection coverage exists, it often stems from the workers' previous or additional jobs, or through family members, which raises questions about the new economy freeriding on the traditional economy with regard to the financing of social security.
Adapting legislative frameworks and ensuring compliance
- Adapting legal frameworks, e.g. by removing or reducing legal minimum thresholds on working time, earned income or duration of employment (see chapter 4)
- Instituting policies that can help clarify the nature of the employment relationship, prevent misclassification and clearly establish rights and responsibilities of platforms, requesters and workers
Adapting and simplifying the administration and financing of social protection, harnessing the potential of digital innovation
- Using simplified tax and contribution collection mechanisms, more flexible contribution collection schedules or flat contributions or broad contribution categories as well as developing electronic and mobile registration and payment systems, coordinated data systems, smart cards as well as other emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and big-data analytics (see chapter 5 and chapter 6)
Adapting schemes to workers with multiple employers
- Developing effective mechanisms that facilitate labour market transitions and ensure the portability of rights and entitlements
- Streamlining administrative procedures including the simplification and facilitation of electronic access to registration, consultation and contribution payment mechanisms, as well as unified social security numbers (see chapter 5)
Developing mechanisms to deal with situations of complex or unclear employment relationships, for example through alternative financing arrangements
- Determining contributions based on alternative reference values (other than workers' earnings)
Establish coordination mechanisms and clarify the applicable legislation and institutional arrangements
- Clarify the applicable legislation and institutional arrangements to ensure social protection in the case of cross-border arrangements.
Strengthening the role of workers' organisations
- Exploiting the potential of intermediary bodies to fulfil some employer functions, particularly with regard to aggregating information and contributions across multiple employers and reducing the administrative burden for workers by liaising with the social insurance institution
- Social Protection for Workers in New Forms of Employment (video)
- Ensuring social security for digital platform workers (International Social Security Review)
- ISSA Good Practices: Formalizing enterprises and workers in the gig economy in Uruguay
- ILO resource guide: Addressing dependent self-employment in the gig economy
- EU Study: Understanding the employment relationship and its impact on informality
- Collective agreement for platform-based domestic work in Denmark
- The extension of social protection to workers in the informal economy requires a comprehensive approach, which addresses the various barriers to social protection coverage, provides coverage solutions adapted to their needs, and facilitates their transition towards the formal economy.
- It is paramount to close the coverage gaps and adapt social protection systems to the evolving demands in the world of work. In particular, social protection systems need to be adapted to specific situation and needs of workers, including those in new forms of employment. Social insurance will continue to play a key role in ensuring broader scope and higher levels of protection.
- Some of the policy measures instituted by countries to facilitate the coverage of workers in the informal economy can provide valuable pointers on how to extend coverage to workers in new forms of employment. However, additional measures need to be taken into account and more needs to be done, so as to realize the right to social security for all.
- Strengthening and adapting social protection systems for the future of work requires a combination of different social protection mechanisms, with appropriate financing mechanisms available through contributions or taxes. Non-contributory social protection schemes are essential to guaranteeing a social protection floor for all, in line with Social Protection Floors Recommendation, 2012 (No. 202).

text: Much recent research has been devoted to the consequences of the completion of the internal market in 1992. Existing estimates of the effects of market integration remain very preliminary, however, and many important issues have yet to be adequately addressed. These formed the subject of a conference on "The Impact of 1992 on European Trade and Industry" held by the Centre for Economic Policy Research. This book reports the proceedings of that conference. The contributors to the volume address such issues as the gains to be expected from both "internal" and "external" economies of scale following integration, and the implications of 1992 for the Community's trade with both its traditional EFTA partners, the potentially valuable new East European markets, and the rest of the world. The volume also contains papers considering the effects of the completion of the internal market on the design of appropriate technology and taxation policies and a study of the role of Japanese foreign direct investment in European manufacturing.

The Alert built-in object is a little different from those that we have looked at so far in this series of tutorials. In fact alert is more of a method than an object since the only way that you can use it is to call alert(text) where text is a variable that contains whatever you want the alert to display or a quoted string if you want to display a constant value.
The alert method actually interacts with the browser itself to display a dialog box that contains the text that you pass it, an "OK" button to close the dialog, and - in some browsers - a checkbox allowing you to disable JavaScript in the web page.
That some browsers have the checkbox makes this completely unsuited to your using this in a live web page since it would mean that you are providing some of your visitors with a way to kill your JavaScript half way through processing. The other disadvantage that it has is that it can only display text. A better option if you want to display a dialog to your visitors is to generate it yourself from scratch using a modal dialog script. That option also allows you to create your own versions of the confirm() and prompt() methods that JavaScript provides also ensuring that you are not giving some of your visitors the turn off JavaScript checkbox. You can even create your own modal dialogs containing whatever content you want with as many buttons performing whatever functions you like using that method.
So why are we looking at the alert dialog here? Well that particular dialog (but not the other two that JavaScript provides) can provide us with an easy way to test our scripts and see what they are doing without needing to use a full debugger. All that we need to do is to insert alert statements into appropriate spots in our script either displaying a different fixed value at each point (which will allow us to trace the path that the processing follows through the script) or displaying the values of selected variables at specific spots so that we can see what the values are that those variables contain at those spots.
If you are going to use alert() statements to test code that contains loops then running your first test using the Opera web browser is a good place to start. The advantage that Opera has is that it is one of the browsers that displays the disable JavaScript checkbox in the alert dialog. That will allow you to stop your test once you see enough alerts to figure out what is happening. If you use a different browser and your code gets stuck in a loop then your only option will be to kill the entire browser rather than just javaScript.
The built-in dialog boxes are completely inappropriate for use in a live web page, particularly since browsers introduced tabs since it is quite possible that your page that is running a script is not the currently open tab and when it pops up a dialog may interrupt your visitor right in the middle of their filling out a form on another web site possibly resulting in their pressing a button on the dialog without intending to. For actual web use in page dialogs that you create yourself is by far the better option.

What is a switch?
A switch is a very simple electronics component. At the most basic level, a switch just connects and disconnects parts of a electric circuit. VEX currently manufactures two types of switches, the limit switch and the bump switch. Although they look very different, their function is exactly the same. Both can be classified as Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST) switches, which will either have the terminals connected or disconnected based on the state of the switch. Additionally, the switches are momentary push buttons, which means that they will naturally be open (disconnected) until they are pressed, which closes the switch and connects the terminals. As soon as the switch is no longer being pressed it will return to being open.

Tribal Enterprises Resources
Fisheries and Shellfish
Fuel Management and Gas Stations
Tribal government enterprises allow tribes to foster economic development while simultaneously maintaining control over the enterprises' impacts on the environment, natural resources, and tribal cultural values. Tribal enterprises provide much of the financial resources needed to manage day-to-day government operations as well as a full governmental infrastructure. Tribes around the country operate numerous facilities, such as schools, medical facilities, utility departments, businesses, factories, and other revenue producing ventures. Some tribes encourage economic development and have micro-loan organizations that provide assistance to tribal members who have business plans intended to contribute to Indian country's growing self-sustainability. The popularity of the gaming industry has provided the capital necessary to attempt other forms of economic development, and many tribes have been quite successful. Additionally, revenue sharing with non-gaming tribes has provided start-up costs and matching funds for smaller tribes that do not have casinos.
Many tribal governments with forests on their reservation are responsible for regulating forestry operations and related activities. In other cases, forests are the responsibility of tribal members, non-tribal members, and the federal land management agencies, including the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Other federal agencies, including the U.S. Forest Service (Department of Agriculture) and the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service (Department of the Interior) manage forests near Indian reservations. Regardless of regulatory responsibility, forests often contain areas of spiritual or religious value, medicinal or ceremonial plants, archaeological sites, and areas of traditional hunting, fishing and gathering use, as well as areas of scenic and aesthetic value.
Where tribes are responsible for regulating forest uses, tribes can meet their political, spiritual, social, and economic needs concurrently through sustainable forestry management - the use of forests in a way and at a rate that maintains their productivity, biodiversity, regeneration capacity, and potential to fulfill relevant ecological, economic, and social functions. For more information on sustainable forest management, visit the U.S. Forest Service Web site. As an economic incentive to encourage sustainable forest management, tribal forestry operations might consider certifying their management practices through one of several independent organizations. A case study on a tribal sustainable forest management program is found at the Forest Stewardship Council's news and media site and an example of sustainable forest management is Menominee Tribal Enterprises "The Forest Keepers": The Menominee Forest-Based Sustainable Development Tradition (PDF) (25 pp, 402K, About PDF).
For specific information, see "Forestry Production Industry: Operations, Impacts, and Pollution Prevention Opportunities" in The Profile of the Agricultural Crop Production Industry at EPA's Profile of the Agricultural Crop Production Industry Web site.
Forestry activities can contribute to nonpoint source pollution and water quality degradation through erosion, removal of streamside vegetation, destruction of habitat, and the use of pesticides and nutrients, primarily commercial fertilizers. Additional information about these issues is available in Surface Water Protection and in Pesticide Management.
Gaming is a form of economic development that has provided income for tribes and job growth on certain Indian reservations. Some tribes currently conduct a range of gaming enterprises, including bingo, horse and dog racing, and casinos. The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 (IGRA) regulates gaming on Indian reservations. Under IGRA, tribes must have a gaming board that creates rules and regulations, reports to the federal government, and conducts the background checks necessary to make sure the tribe's casino is in compliance with federal standards. Additionally, IGRA provides standards for compacting with state governments for gaming enterprises, and sets the appropriate taxation rates for individual gaming revenue. Finally, the IGRA requires, in part, "the construction and maintenance of the gaming operation, and the operation of that gaming [be] conducted in a manner that adequately protects the environment and the public health and safety."
The IGRA created the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC), an independent federal regulatory agency, with responsibility for regulating gaming activities on Indian reservations. Among its other responsibilities, NIGC is authorized to conduct investigations; undertake enforcement actions, including the issuance of notices of violation, assessment of civil fines, and/or issuance of closure orders; conduct background investigations; conduct audits; and review and approve tribal gaming ordinances. IGRA also provides the NIGC the responsibility for overseeing gaming operations conducted by tribes.
Gaming revenues are allocated by tribal governments for many different uses within several major use categories. Many tribes put the revenue back into the tribe's infrastructure and build administration offices, healthcare facilities, housing, and recreation sites. Other tribes distribute gaming revenue to their members directly through a "per capita" allotment process or on an "as needed" basis to members who apply. Gaming revenue proceeds are also used to encourage the development of other tribal business ventures. For some tribes, the proceeds make up a substantial portion of annual tribal revenue.
Gaming enterprises do not typically have any unique potential to impact the environment; instead, gaming operations have the potential to impact the environment in much the same way as other similar buildings - during the building construction phase and through building operations, including dealing with stormwater and other drainage issues, and air quality impacts associated with motor vehicle traffic and boiler operations. Go to Construction/ Property Management for common environmental impacts and applicable regulations associated with building construction and operation.
Tribes engage in a wide array of agricultural operations. These operations include raising animals and growing fruits and vegetables for sale, as well as overseeing animal farms, medicinal herb gardens, and the production and collection of rare indigenous flora, such as blue corn and wild rice. The environmental impacts, and relevant regulations, of agricultural operations are the subject of separate EPA Sector Notebooks providing resources and other compliance assistance tools, which can be found at the EPA's Compliance Assistance Agriculture Sector site.
Agricultural operations are subject to the requirements of many federal environmental statues. Under the CWA, there are five program areas that potentially affect agricultural operations, including point source discharges, storm water discharges, nonpoint source pollution, wetland regulation, and sludge management. The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) has a significant impact on the day-to-day operations of may agricultural operations. Other relevant statutes pertaining to the agriculture sector include RCRA, CERCLA, EPCRA, CAA, Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), and Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA). Agricultural operations should review the information on Underground Storage Tanks, Aboveground Storage Tanks, Water Resource Management and Pesticides. In addition, agriculture operations should review other relevant EPA Sector Notebooks, including The Profile of the Agricultural Crop Industry, The Profile of the Agricultural Livestock Industry, and The Profile of the Agriculture Chemical, Pesticide, and Fertilizer Industry.
The following presents a brief discussion of agricultural pollutants and their environmental impacts:
- Nutrients. Excess nutrients in water (i.e., phosphorus and nitrogen) can result in or contribute to low levels of dissolved oxygen (anoxia), eutrophication, and toxic algal blooms. These conditions may be harmful to human health and ecosystems and may adversely affect the suitability of the water for other uses
- Sediment. Sediments affect the use of water in many ways. Suspended solids reduce the amount of sunlight available to aquatic plants, cover fish spawning areas and food supplies, clog the filtering capacity of filter feeders, and clog and harm the gills of fish. Turbidity interferes with the feeding habits of fish. These effects combine to reduce fish and plant populations and decrease the overall productivity of waters
- Animal Wastes. Animal waste includes the fecal and urinary wastes of livestock and poultry; process water (such as from a milking parlor); and the feed, bedding, litter, and soil with which fecal and urinary matter and process water become intermixed. Manure and wastewater from animal feeding operations have the potential to contribute pollutants such as nutrients (e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus), organic matter, sediments, pathogens, heavy metals, hormones, antibiotics, and ammonia to the environment. Decomposing organic matter (i.e., animal waste) can reduce oxygen levels and cause fish kills
- Salts. Salts are a product of the natural weathering process of soil and geologic material. In soils that have poor subsurface drainage, high salt concentrations are created within the root zone where most water extraction occurs. The accumulation of soluble and exchangeable salts (i.e., metal compounds in the soil that can chemically change) leads to soil dispersion (i.e., movement of soil in air and water), structure breakdown, decreased infiltration, and possible toxicity; thus, salts often become a serious problem on irrigated land, both for continued agricultural production and for water quality considerations. High salt concentrations in streams can harm freshwater aquatic plants just as excess soil salinity damages agricultural crops
- Pesticides. The primary pollutants from pesticides are the active and inert ingredients, diluents, and any persistent degradation products. Pesticides and their degradation products may enter groundwater and surface water in solution, in emulsion, or bound to soils. Pesticides may, in some instances, cause impairments to the uses of surface waters and groundwater. Some types of pesticides are resistant to degradation and may persist and/or accumulate in aquatic ecosystems. Pesticides may harm the environment by eliminating or reducing populations of desirable organisms, including endangered species.
Tribes often provide the public the opportunity to visit Indian reservations. Tourist enterprises include indoor recreation facilities - casinos, hotels, spas - and outdoor recreation facilities and activities - ski resorts, golf courses, and expeditions. While there are no potential environmental impacts or regulations that are unique to tourist enterprises, these activities have the potential to impact the environment in similar ways to corresponding non-tourist enterprises. Construction and Property Management, including

Developing a 30,000-foot vision
Teacher-powered teams keep students at the center of decision-making starting in the design phase. This is essential in ensuring that your school is student-centered. In the Forming stage, it's likely that your team is starting to shape a 30,000-foot, big-picture vision of what your school will look and be like. Thinking about the school from the perspective of students can help guide this vision.
Design questions to ask:
- What are the specific needs of the students who will attend the school?
- What will students experience during the school day?
- What will the learning program and instructional approach be?
- How does that approach align with student needs?
- How will students experience teaching and learning?
- How will teachers work together to manage and lead the school?
- How will these choices impact students and teachers?

Balance and adjust the number of posts
Depending on the Cycle Time and different Takt Time, we will be able to balance and adjust the number of operators on manual stations. There is 11 positions.
The overall cycle time for all of these positions is 868 seconds.
The theoretical calculation of the number of operators for the different takt time is as follows :
- High season : Takt = 2mn 36s soit 156s —> 868 / 156 = 5.5 so 6 operators
- Average season : Takt = 3mn 15s soit 195s —> 868 / 195 = 4.5 so 5 operators
- Low season : Takt = 4mn 20s soit 260s —> 868 / 260 = 3.3 so 4 operators
The assembly line is linear, and a length of at least 40m, balancing can be done only on contiguous positions. It is thus not possible to use the theoretical calculation.
The various balances are the following :
The number of operators, according to seasonality is from 8 to 5.

James King's biography The Life of Margaret Laurence
July 18, 1926|
|Died||January 5, 1987
|Occupation||novelist, essayist, academic, Chancellor|
|Alma mater||United College of Winnipeg|
|Notable work(s)||The Stone Angel
Jean Margaret Laurence, CC (née Wemyss) (18 July 1926 – 5 January 1987) was a Canadian novelist and short story writer, one of the major figures in Canadian literature. She was also a founder of the Writers' Trust of Canada, a non-profit literary organization that seeks to encourage Canada's writing community.
Born in Neepawa, Manitoba, Laurence was the daughter of solicitor Robert Wemyss and Verna Jean Simpson. Following the death of her mother when Laurence was four, a maternal aunt, Margaret Simpson, came to take care of the family. A year later, Simpson married Robert,Sr., and in 1933 they had a son, Robert. In 1935, Robert Wemyss Sr. died of pneumonia.
In 1944, Laurence attended Winnipeg's United College (now the University of Winnipeg) on scholarship, pursuing an honours English degree. She wrote for the student newspaper and became involved with the "Old Left" socialist reform group. She graduated in 1947. Soon afterwards, she was hired as a reporter for The Winnipeg Citizen, which was "published...between 1948 and 1949 in response to the typographical union's strike against the other Winnipeg newspapers." There she wrote book reviews, covered labour issues, and hosted a daily radio column.
Following her graduation from United College, she married Jack Fergus Laurence, an engineer. His job took them to England (1949), the then-British protectorate of British Somaliland (1950–1952), as well as the British colony of the Gold Coast (1952–1957). Laurence developed an admiration for Africa and of its various populations, which found expression in her writing.
In 1952, Laurence gave birth to daughter Jocelyn during a leave in England. Son David was born in 1955 in the Gold Coast. The family left the Gold Coast just before it gained independence as Ghana in 1957, moving to Vancouver, British Columbia, where they stayed for five years.
In 1962, she separated from her husband and moved to London, England for a year. She then moved to Elm Cottage (Penn, Buckinghamshire) where she lived for more than ten years, although she visited Canada often. Her divorce became final in 1969. That year, she became writer in residence at the University of Toronto. A few years later, she moved to Lakefield, Ontario. She also bought a cabin on the Otonabee River near Peterborough, where she wrote The Diviners (1974) during the summers of 1971 to 1973. Laurence served as Chancellor of Trent University in Peterborough from 1981 to 1983.
In 1986, Laurence was diagnosed with lung cancer late in the disease's development. According to the James King biography, The Life of Margaret Laurence, the prognosis was grave, and as the cancer had spread to other organs, there was no treatment offered beyond palliative care. Laurence decided the best course of action was to spare herself and her family further suffering. She committed suicide at her home at 8 Regent St., Lakefield, on January 5, 1987. She was buried in her hometown in the Neepawa Cemetery, Neepawa, Manitoba. Laurence's house in Neepawa has been turned into a museum. Her literary papers are housed in the Clara Thomas Archives at York University in Toronto and at McMaster University's William Ready Division of Archives and Research Collections in Hamilton.
One of Canada's most esteemed and beloved authors by the end of her literary career, Laurence began writing short stories shortly after her marriage, as did her husband. Each published fiction in literary periodicals while living in Africa, but Margaret continued to write and expand her range. Her early novels were influenced by her experience as a minority in Africa. They show a strong sense of Christian symbolism and ethical concern for being a white person in a colonial state.
It was after her return to Canada that she wrote The Stone Angel, the book for which she is best known. Set in a fictional Manitoba small town called Manawaka, the novel is narrated retrospectively by Hagar Shipley, a ninety year old woman living in her eldest son's home in Vancouver. Published in 1964, the novel is of the literary form that looks at the entire life of a person, and Laurence produced a novel from a Canadian experience. After finishing school, the narrator moves from Toronto to Manitoba, and marries a rough-mannered homesteader, Bram Shipley, against the wishes of her father, who then disinherits her — disinheritance a recurring theme in much of Laurence's fiction. The couple struggles through the economic hardship and climatic challenges of Canadian frontier existence, and Hagar, unhappy in the relationship, leaves Bram, moving with her son John to Vancouver where she works as a domestic for many years, betraying her social class and upbringing. The novel is required reading in many North American school systems and colleges.
Laurence was published by Canadian publishing company McClelland and Stewart, and she became one of the key figures in the emerging Canadian literature tradition. Her published works after The Stone Angel express the changing role of women's lives in the 1970s. Although on the surface, her later works like The Diviners depict very different roles for women than her earlier novels do, it is safe to say that Laurence throughout her career was faithfully dedicated to presenting a female perspective on contemporary life, depicting the choices — and consequences of those choices — women must make to find meaning and purpose in life.

More Sleep Apnea in African Americans
Home News More Sleep Apnea in African Americans
Sleep Apnea is more common in African Americans
More Sleep Apnea in African AmericansA recent study confirmed there is more sleep apnea in African Americans than in Whites. Sleep apnea (also call Obstructive Sleep Apnea / "OSA") is a condition where people repeatedly stop breathing while they sleep. The outcome is a very poor sleep cycle and interrupted sleep. The lost sleep leads to daytime sleepiness, fatigue, poor concentration, poor energy, increased high blood pressure, heart disease, poor digestion and metabolism, and more.
Scientists found significantly increased sleep apnea patterns, more snoring, more obesity, and poor global functioning in African Americans. The same study also showed decreased formally diagnosed sleep apnea in African Americans despite the disproportional increased occurrence.
African Americans have a poorer sleep quality overall associated with worse insomnia levels and the highest levels for excessive daytime sleepiness. That increased fatigue and sleepiness can cause difficulty at work, trouble watching movies without falling asleep, difficulty with drowsiness while driving, and so on.
With prolonged loss of sleep, high blood pressure results and with that the increased risk for stroke, heart attack, and sudden death from abnormal heart rhythms.
But CPAP fixes this.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure CPAP therapy reduces daytime sleepiness, improves depression and quality of life, and reduces deaths. Overall only about half of people with sleep apnea and a CPAP machine use it. But in African Americans the use of this life-saving treatment is even worse. Black Americans were over 5 times more likely to not use their CPAP machine than White Americans.
Because modern CPAP machines can monitor (and transmit data) about usage and sleep efficiency, researchers were able to determine that African Americans that used the CPAP machine still averaged one hour less of nightly sleep.
Sleep Apnea in African Americans
Like many health problems, African Americans show significant improvement in CPAP usage when they understand how it works... and why it works. A large study found that only about a quarter (26%) of African Americans were using their CPAP machine at 2 weeks compared to almost half (47%) of Whites. They also found that adjusting for income, demographics, and other diseases had no impact on its use.
The finding that African Americans with more severe sleep apnea were 3 times more likely to use CPAP than those with mild or moderate sleep apnea possibly is due to subjectively perceived effectiveness. In focus groups, African American patients said that even with the inconveniences of CPAP, they would use the device if they thought of it as helpful.
The study also failed to show a correlation between socioeconomic status in African Americans and CPAP usage... there was no difference between wealthier and more educated African Americans and poorer less educated African Americas in terms of who took advantage of the benefits of the CPAP machine.

What makes African Americans avoid CPAP therapy?
The only thing that increased use of CPAP therapy in African Americans was having more severe sleep apnea. The more severe the episodes of not breathing, the higher the use of the CPAP machine. In mild and moderate sleep apnea, the patients may not trust their doctor enough to take their advice... this could explain the disparity.
I find that my patients prefer a Tap Pap CPAP mask that only goes into the nostrils and is held in place by your upper teeth.
Sleep Apnea in African Americans
This "mask" allows more sleeping on your side and is far more comfortable. Wearing the CPAP at night and getting a restful nights' sleep is essential for health. People are shocked to hear that their heart is enlarged and may be barely functioning, or that their blood pressure is high, all due to poor sleep... and the simple use of CPAP therapy can potentially reverse it!
Don't take a good night's sleep for granted, it can literally shorten your life. And ask your sleeping partner about snoring and gaps in breathing. You could easily have sleep apnea.

Meet Dr. Bill Bass
Dr. William M. "Bill" Bass is one of the most famous forensic anthropologists in the world. When he arrived at the University of Tennessee in 1971, forensic science was in its infancy. But with the founding of the Research Facility (the Body Farm) in 1972, the field grew by leaps and bounds. On three acres of land, dozens of donated human remains lie exposed to the elements, enabling Dr. Bass, other forensic scientists, graduate students, and law enforcement personnel to study postmortem change, and since, the research program began in earnest in 1981, crucial discoveries have been made in the determination of time of death and manner of death.
A Q&A with Dr. Bass
What is forensic anthropology?
Forensic anthropology is the application of the traditional tools and techniques of physical anthropology—skeletal analysis, mainly—to criminal cases, especially murders. Forensic anthropologists are often called on to help identify murder victims. If the police already have a pretty good idea who the murder victim is, a forensic anthropologist might look at dental records or medical X rays and try to match them to the victim to confirm the identification; if the victim is a John or Jane Doe, we'll start by determining the victim's age, race, sex, and stature, so the police can crosscheck missing-person reports or ask the public for leads that might help identify the victim. We also detect and interpret signs of skeletal trauma—ranging from gunshot wounds to bludgeoning fractures to knife marks on ribs. And these days, thanks to the research we've done at the University of Tennessee, we also play an increasingly important role in determining time since death.
What made you decide to go into forensic anthropology?
It was an accident—literally. I was majoring in psychology, working on a master's degree in counseling, at the University of Kentucky. Just for fun, though, I was taking an anthropology class, too. One day my professor asked me if I wanted to go with him on a forensic case—a woman had been killed and burned in a highway accident, and he'd been asked to identify her body. I went along and found it absolutely fascinating. It was like a light bulb went off above my head. That was the 'aha'—that was the moment when I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I went home, talked to my wife, and changed my major to anthropology. It was the best move I ever made.
What is the "Body Farm"?
That's the nickname for the scientific facility I set up at the University of Tennessee in 1980 to study human decomposition. Officially, it's called the "Anthropology Research Facility," but thanks to a bestselling Patricia Cornwell novel that featured the facility, it's much more widely known as the "Body Farm." At the time I created it, it was the world's only facility of its kind, and although modest efforts have been made recently to start a similar facility elsewhere, the Body Farm remains unique.
What is its purpose?
Its main focus has always been to observe and understand the processes and timetable of postmortem decay, primarily to improve our ability to determine what's called "time since death" in murder cases. In recent years, though, the facility has played an increasingly important role in developing or testing new forensic technologies, and also in training law-enforcement groups like FBI agents, crime-scene technicians, and cadaver dogs and their handlers. It's a unique scientific resource—you can do research there that can't be done anywhere else in the world.
Why is time since death so important?
When I'm called to a murder scene, the first question the police ask me is nearly always, "How long has this person been dead?" It's crucial to know when the crime was committed, because that can really help narrow the search for a suspect—or can help rule out potential suspects who had alibis at the time the victim was killed. Now, if the body's fresh—no more than a day or two old—a medical examiner can generally pin down the time since death to within a matter of hours. But if the body's badly decayed—for instance, if it was dumped in the woods and lay there for weeks or months before being found by hunters—determining time since death requires detailed knowledge of the stages of decomposition, the role of temperature and humidity, the extent of insect activity in the corpse, and so on. Those are the kinds of variables we've spent decades researching at the Body Farm.
What kinds of research have you conducted to understand time since death?
Our early research projects were incredibly simple, because we knew almost nothing about decomposition rates. We put bodies out at the facility and watched to see when various limbs fell off. It sounds silly, but nobody knew even those rudimentary things. Gradually we got more and more specific with our research questions: How does the decomp rate compare in sunshine versus shade? In cool weather versus hot weather? In a shallow grave versus on the ground? In water? Inside a car? What effect do other variables have—clothing, body weight, and so on?
What happens to the skeletons after a body has finished decomposing?
Their contribution to forensic science is far from over at that point. Once the research project is finished, we clean off the bones, measure them, and enter the skeletal data in a forensic data base created by my colleague, Dr. Richard Jantz. The data base is the heart of a computer program called "ForDisc," which is short for "Forensic Discrimination." Using the ForDisc software, which is now in use all over the world, an anthropologist who's been brought into a forensic case can enter a few skeletal measurements from an unknown crime victim or even a partial skeleton—for example, the length and diameter of a femur, or thighbone—and the computer can predict, with amazing accuracy, the race, sex, and stature of the person that femur came from. Over the years, our data bank and our skeletal collection has grown tremendously. Today, I'm proud to say, the William M. Bass Research Skeletal Collection is the world's largest collection of modern skeletal specimens, and it's a tremendous asset in helping forensic anthropologists and police pinpoint the characteristics and narrow down the possible identifies of unknown murder victims.
Where do the Body Farm's research bodies come from?
Our research bodies come from three sources. One source is Tennessee's network of medical examiners. If a body that comes through a county medical examiner's office ends up going unclaimed—either because the person is never identified or because no one ever shows up to claim the body—the ME might send it to us for decomposition research or for addition to our skeletal collection. The second source is family members of people who die—folks who know about our research and donate their loved one's remain to help advance the cause of science. The third source is people who will their bodies to us, signing donor consent forms in advance.
What's up-and-coming in forensic science? Current and recent research projects at the Body Farm:
Chemical products of decomposition: Using sophisticated analytical equipment, a research scientist from Oak Ridge National Laboratory is analyzing the hundreds of chemical compounds released as bodies decompose. To date, he has identified more than 400 individual compounds. He has also developed a prototype portable instrument that can detect airborne traces of some of the most prominent of these compounds—a step toward a handheld device that could be used to locate murder victims and mass graves in human-rights cases.
Biochemistry of adipocere formation: Adipocere—a Latin word usually translated as "grave wax"—forms when a body's fatty tissue decomposes in a moist environment: on drowning victims, for instance, or bodies buried in damp basements or hidden in caves. (Adipocere figures prominently in the murder victim whose discovery in a cave triggers the action of Carved in Bone.) One current research project is studying the biochemical stages and compounds involved in adipocere formation, as a step toward developing a time-since-death "clock" that could interpret specific chemical ratios in a corpse's adipocere to determine how long since death occurred.
"Divining" for corpses: Surprising as it sounds, an age-old folkloric technique for locating groundwater—called "divining," dousing, or "water-witching"—is getting a high-tech investigation as a technique for locating buried bodies. Most people who divine for water use a forked, green stick, which—properly wielded—will purportedly twitch when it's carried over groundwater. A remarkably similar phenomenon seems to occur with angled metal wires in the proximity of decaying corpses: the wires twitch, cross, separate, or swing from side to side. One theory currently being investigated by an Oak Ridge National Laboratory research scientist is that as a body decomposes, chemical changes transform it into something akin to a giant battery, whose electromagnetic field affects the wires. Once the mechanism is understood, it—like the chemistry of decomposition gases—could be harnessed to create a sophisticated portable body detector.
Effects of taphonomy on decomposition rates: In a long-term study just completed for the FBI, Body Farm researchers placed corpses in various settings that replicate common murder scenes—inside a car, in a house, in shallow graves, submerged in water, and on the surface of the ground—to compare the decomposition rates and study specific changes in the corpses' hair. Daily weather readings and photographs provided a detailed comparative record. As the researchers expected, the corpses laid on the ground decomposed fastest, because they were most accessible to insects. Slowest to decompose were the bodies buried and immersed in water. Comparative studies like this help forensic scientists refine their estimates of "time since death"

Researchers from the University of Colorado-Boulder have found evidence that suggests some plants are altruistic or unselfish or selfless too.
UC-Boulder researchers examined corn, in which each fertilized seed contained an embryo and a matching piece of tissue known as endosperm that nourishes the embryo as the seed grows. They compared the growth and behavior of the embryos and endosperm in seeds with the same mother and father with the growth and behavior of embryos and endosperm that had genetically different parents..
The researchers say:
"The results indicated embryos with the same mother and father as the endosperm in their seed weighed significantly more than embryos with the same mother but a different father.."
"We found that endosperm that does not share the same father as the embryo does not hand over as much food — it appears to be acting less cooperatively."
"Altruism only evolves if the benefactor is a close relative of the beneficiary. When the endosperm gives all of its food to the embryo and then dies, it doesn't get more altruistic than that."
I haven't seen altruism in plants yet. But I have seen altruism in animals. They are amazing.
Some scientists believe humans have in-built altruism. But most humans behave altruistically towards close kin than to distant kin and non-kin. I wish humans could be more altruistic towards non-kin, animals and plants. The idea of the 'survival of the fittest' has been replaced by the idea of the 'survival of the nicest.'

Introduction: Active learning methods have accumulated popularity due to improved results in knowledge acquisition as opposed to passive learning methods. For surgical resident physicians with limited training opportunities outside of the operating room due to time constraints, virtual reality (VR) is a relatively inexpensive and time-efficient active training method for procurement of surgical skills. We conducted a simulated intramedullary nailing (IMN) of a tibia to demonstrate VR training programs as a more effective modality of learning orthopedic surgical techniques compared to passive learning tools such as a standard guide (SG) through trained novice medical students performing a SawBones simulation of intramedullary nail fixation.
Materials and methods: First and second-year medical students without prior experience of procedure were recruited and randomized to SG or VR training. Participants were observed performing simulated tibia IMN procedure immediately after training and evaluated by a blinded attending surgeon using procedure-specific checklist and 5-point global assessment scale. Participants returned after 2-weeks for repeat training and evaluation.
Results: 20 participants were recruited and randomized into VR (n = 10) and SG (n = 10) groups. All 20 participants completed the first phase and 17 completed the second phase of the study. Aggregate global assessment scores were significantly higher for VR than SG group (17.5 vs. 7.5, p < 0.001), including scores in all individual categories. The percentage of steps completed correctly was significantly higher in the VR group compared to the SG group (63% vs. 25%, p < 0.002). Average improvement between the first and second phases of the study were higher in the VR group compared to SG group across all 5-categories of the global assessment scale, and significantly higher for knowledge of instruments (50% vs. 11%, p, 0.01).
Discussion: VR training was more effective than a passive SG in our model of simulated tibia IMN for novice medical students. Virtual reality training may be a useful method to augment orthopedic education.

EPISODE # 173
Naomi Oreskes — Why Trust Science?
In this interview, based on her landmark book, Why Trust Science?, historian of science Naomi Oreskes offers a bold and compelling defense of science, revealing why the social character of scientific knowledge is its greatest strength — and the greatest reason we can trust it. Drawing vital lessons from cases where scientists got it wrong, Oreskes shows how consensus is a crucial indicator of when a scientific matter has been settled, and when the knowledge produced is likely to be trustworthy.

1,2 A new study suggests that after genetic matching, the age of a stem cell donor is the most important characteristic influencing patient survival following a stem cell transplant. Previous studies have suggested that donor characteristics including sex, ethnicity, blood type and previous pregnancies could all affect patient survival, making it difficult for transplant clinicians to rank donors Seeing the need to help more patients who need a bone marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant, the United States Congress passed the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005, Public Law 109-129 (Stem Cell Act of 2005) and the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Reauthorization Act of 2010, Public Laws 111-264 (Stem Cell Act of 2010) and Who can donate stem cells or bone marrow.
