Q: What does "the darkest of nights" mean? Over at German.SE we have a question involving "the darkest of nights". I would like to know what this expression actually means, but I didn't find it in an online dictionary (e.g. leo.org, dict.cc, Cambridge Dictionary).
So what does this expression mean? Is it a figure of speech? I can imagine at least two meanings: It's the time of a particular night when it is darkest, or it's the darkest of a (not specified) number of nights.

A: The darkest of nights could be a metaphorical expression to mean the very worst of bad times. Of course it could be interpreted literally to mean the darkest night among many nights.

A: I have seen this expression in literary texts. It means a very dark night, with no moonlight at all and it is used to enhance a feeling of foreboding. It can be called a hyperbole.

A: German.SE was discussing superlatives (in the sense of grammar).
In that context, "the darkest of nights" simply means "a night darker than any other (of an unspecified number)."
You can use it in a literal sense, as in "it was the darkest of nights when the power grid failed and the moon was new."
Or, you can use it a figurative sense to convey that it was a night of great sorrow or some other sense of the word dark.

A: It might be better to use both halves in answeering your question. The first half, "Dark Night" refers to period of personal upheaval or crisis. Both halves: Dark Night, Early Dawn (DNED) is a phrase whose usage probably best elucidates the fuller context behind what a Dark Night exactly is. Transpersonal Studies usage can be summed up in the following;

"Dark Night...", as in Dark Night, Early Dawn typically can be used to refer to a period of great spiritual testing and, when coupled with "...Early Dawn", transformation. For more you might gloss over the book Summary of central metaphor in Dark Night, Early Dawn

Frequently a Dark Night is a period in which the mettle of a given subject is tested to such an extent as to not only unwind the topical or superficial egoic structures of the person, but when harnessed the crisis energy can additionally be utilized to unwind and deconstruct the foundational and subterranean structures.
Also, the actual crisis or context may not objectively warrant such a description, but the diligence and energy channelled into the situation and egoic structures involved would be sufficient to be a Dark Night experience to the subject.
When used in the superlative, there is an understanding of the Darkest Night laying bare the subject's entire self as a collection of dis-integrated parts. There is, in the sense of the Early Dawn, an opportunity to collect these fragmented elements of the person and to integrate them into a more cohesive personhood.

A: Literally, the phrase means a night that is darker than most nights, for example because it is a new moon, or clouds obscure the moon and stars. On such a night it may be difficult to see any danger until it is too late -- danger ranging from something on the ground that you trip over to wild animals or violent people attacking you. Thus such a night is considered scary. Thus figuratively the phrase can refer to a frightening time, like "When the dictator took over our country was plunged into the darkest of nights."

A: The context or setting under which it is used is more likely to reveal its particular intention, which is to say that both your's and Irene's perceptions are all correct.
I could, however, argue that its nuances and the ensuing ambiguities are what makes it more beautiful than a precise substitute. It is for you to decide whether its poetic undertone and its literal insensibility are contextually more significant than any fixed meaning someone else may offer.

HIV-positive… and fearless
https://www.unicef.org/eca/stories/hiv-positive…-and-fearless
During the first TEDxYouth event organized on 17 November in Kazakhstan, Baurzhan, age 13, and his mother Aliya spoke about living openly with HIV. This is his story. Standing before more than 100 people, Aliya asks if anyone in the audience remembers the incident in 2006 when 149 children in southern Kazakhstan were infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at a local hospital. A few hands go up. Hesitantly. "Not too many," sighs Aliya. "That's 149 families facing profound pain, shock, complete lack of support and understanding." Indeed, when the news first broke at the time, there was very little by way of public understanding and sympathy. On the contrary, the families affected have spoken about the pervasive rumors – including one suggesting that a special area would be built to quarantine the families – that they had to endure. Some families were even broken up. The sense of isolation still persists for many. "In our society," Aliya says, "HIV is still perceived to be a 'plague' of the 21 st century. These families and children are hiding. They do not open up about their HIV status. These children are still invisible to society." Then she adds, "They all live in great fear. All, but one." A voice chimes in. "I am one of those 149 children. I am HIV-positive and today, I am the only teenager in Kazakhstan with HIV who is living openly," says Baurzhan, age 13. Baurzhan and his mother at their home in Kazkhstan. Working towards acceptance Aliya's son Baurzhan was just nine months old when she learned that the blood transfusion he had received for treatment was infected with HIV. When he started going to school, Baurzhan understood that there were different kinds of viruses and one of them happened to be living in him. He did not feel different, until teachers asked him not to play during recess or physical education class. "We realized that for school to be an understanding environment, we needed to organize training, raise awareness among teachers on the importance of tolerance towards children with such illnesses," his mother says. The lanky teenager remembers crying in the school gym changing room after his classmate called him offensive names related to HIV. "I was not ready to hear it. It hurt a lot." The incident made Aliya realize that students needed awareness training, too. She helped the school organize lessons on child rights and responsibilities explaining the universality of rights. After the first session, the boy who had offended Baurzhan apologised for what he had said. "For 11 years, I have been taking medications every day to control the amount of virus in my blood. My immunity is 900 cells. Do you know that the immunity of a healthy person is 1200 cells? So, my immunity is that of a healthy teenager," he says. "My viral load is less than 50 copies. This means that I am just a carrier, but I cannot transmit the virus while I am taking medications." Together with friends, Baurzhan created a self-help group called "Asian teens" where they share their experiences of living with HIV. "I want to support other kids who are living in fear because of their HIV status. I want to be a role model of living openly and without any fear." As Baurzhan says these words, the audience erupts in standing ovation. After the TEDx talk, Baurzhan and his mother said that many people approached him and asked if they could give him a hug. "I really liked the feeling of speaking in that room – it was filled with warmth, the audience showed that they cared", he said. "My friends who are also living with HIV cannot wait to see my video, I think they will be surprised to see the positive reaction my story received." Baurzhan with his sibling at the family home. Baurzhan with his sibling at the family home. HIV today and steps for the future Since the outbreak in 2006, the HIV/AIDS situation has changed. By 2010, UNICEF helped decrease the rate of HIV transmission from mother to child in south Kazakhstan, which at the time had the highest number of deliveries by HIV-positive women. At country level, joint efforts of the Ministry of Health and UNICEF led to dropping the HIV transmission rate from 10.9 per cent in 2007 to 1.8 percent in 2014. Kazakhstan is now submitting a request to be certified as a country that virtually eliminated mother-to-child HIV transmission. However, more work remains, says UNICEF Health and Nutrition Officer Kanat Sukhanberdiyev. "Globally, we still see that many children are dying from HIV/AIDS. We have a long way to go until children and adolescents with HIV receive the full package of healthcare and psychosocial support." On this World AIDS Day, UNICEF is calling on the world to increase investments in HIV prevention, testing and treatment programmes. Otherwise, by 2030, the lives of some 360,000 adolescents will be at risk of AIDS-related diseases. Find out more about UNICEF's work on HIV in Kazakhstan.
"During crisis we realized, health is the most important thing."
https://www.unicef.org/eca/stories/during-crisis-we-realized-health-most-important-thing
For thousands of pregnant women in Kazakhstan, pregnancy coincided with the pandemic and the introduction of quarantine measures, which can vary from week to week. UNICEF estimates that around 116,000,000 children will be born worldwide during the pandemic.1 During the pandemic, 498,367 children were born in Kazakhstan (March 2020 - April 2021)2. From the very first months of pregnancy, a woman's life changes dramatically, and quarantine, self-isolation and additional precautions can limit access to medical services or add stress to women in labor. Aigerim is 40 years old; during the pandemic she was pregnant with her fifth child. Aigerim wanted to plan the birth the following year, but in early September 2020, she found out that she was expecting a baby. From the first days of pregnancy, Aigerim was registered at the district polyclinic at her place of residence in Nur-Sultan. 2021_Newborn_Family_Karaganda Aigerim with her newborn son "I had constant access and contact with gynecologists and midwives. I got all my tests on time and I went to my routine check-ups," she says. Until the seventh month of pregnancy, Aigerim and her family lived in Nur-Sultan, and then moved to Karaganda, where she was transferred to the city polyclinic No. 1. Aigerim planned to give birth at her place of residence in the Karaganda Regional Perinatal Center. She didn't need to take a PCR test before giving birth. When frequent contractions occur or amniotic fluid is released, the woman in labour will have to call an ambulance or go to the hospital on her own. The PCR test will already be taken at perinatal centers. "I was told that if a woman has any symptoms, she is taken to a separate quarantine zone. If not, then she gives birth and waits for the test results, " says Aigerim. The quarantine zone is a separate ward where a woman will give birth alone and will not have contact with other women in labor. If doctors do not detect COVID-19, then the woman in labor goes to the general ward. According to UNFPA Kazakhstan , in the event of a confirmed infection or suspected infection with COVID-19, health care workers should take appropriate precautions to reduce the risk of their own infection and that of others, including by wearing protective clothing. Aigerim herself had COVID-19 in June 2020, three months before the start of pregnancy, but did not feel any significant changes in her health or the possibility of becoming pregnant. According to Aigerim, this pregnancy went the same way as the previous ones, and she hardly noticed any changes in the situation and the new reality of quarantine measures. 2021_Newborn_Family_Karaganda Aigerim with her children The only difference Aigerim observed is in the work schedule and the timetable of the clinics. In the past, pregnant women had to wait 2-3 hours in a queue at the polyclinics; now, the reception is conducted strictly by appointment and there are no queues in the corridors. "I guess I was doing so well because I was prioritizing my health. It is very important for a woman," she says. "In the current time of crisis, we all realized that the most important thing is health and only a strong immune system can cope with the virus." Aigerim, being a nutritionist, always carefully monitors her well-being, so she did not worry about the upcoming birth. "I had no concerns about my health, " says Aigerim. "I'm constantly checking my thyroid, haemoglobin, taking vitamins and eating right". In addition to maintaining immune function, Aigerim followed the necessary precautions to avoid contracting the virus. She avoided public places, shopping centres and other crowded places, and washed her hands frequently and thoroughly throughout the day. 2021_Newborn_Family_Karaganda Aigerim and her children reading a book Due to the pandemic, she was forced to go for walks only on the streets or in parks, in order to have minimal contact with passers-by. And masks and sanitizers have already become essential items when leaving the house. Aigerim already had four children. Her fifth pregnancy was going well, and in April she gave birth to a baby boy. "The birth went well. I am very happy and glad that my child was born healthy. I finally have him in my arms" " says Aigerim. Aigerim was discharged two days later, and her recovery is proceeding calmly and with her family. "I would also like to thank the doctors in the polyclinics. Despite the introduction of quarantine measures, they handled stressful situations perfectly and dealt with issues quickly, correctly and in a timely manner," says Aigerim. Cooperation with the European Union allowed UNICEF to support the healthcare system of Kazakhstan during the COVID-19 pandemic by equipping it with the medicines and diagnostic devices necessary to effectively combat the coronavirus.

Refugee and migrant children in Europe
https://www.unicef.org/eca/refugee-and-migrant-children
People have always migrated to flee from trouble or to find better opportunities. Today, more people are on the move than ever, trying to escape from climate change, poverty and conflict, and aided as never before by digital technologies. Children make up one-third of the world's population, but almost half of the world's refugees: nearly 50 million children have migrated or been displaced across borders. We work to prevent the causes that uproot children from their homes While working to safeguard refugee and migrant children in Europe, UNICEF is also working on the ground in their countries of origin to ease the impact of the poverty, lack of education, conflict and insecurity that fuel global refugee and migrant movements. In every country, from Morocco to Afghanistan, and from Nigeria to Iraq, we strive to ensure all children are safe, healthy, educated and protected. This work accelerates and expands when countries descend into crisis. In Syria, for example, UNICEF has been working to ease the impact of the country's conflict on children since it began in 2011. We are committed to delivering essential services for Syrian families and to prevent Syria's children from becoming a ' lost generation '. We support life-saving areas of health , nutrition , immunization , water and sanitation, as well as education and child protection . We also work in neighbouring countries to support Syrian refugee families and the host communities in which they have settled.

Cannes 2021: Memoria review
Published on 17 July 2021 17 July 2021 by CineVue
Apichatpong Weerasethakul has been a stalwart of the arthouse circuit since his Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives won the Palme d'Or back in 2010. The Thai independent filmmaker has returned with Memoria, a beguiling and hypnotic and occasionally boring piece of work.
Touted inaccurately as Weerasethakul's first English language film, Memoria is set in Colombia and is mostly in Spanish. Tilda Swinton plays Jessica, an expat who wakes up when she hears something go bump in the night. And not just bump. It is a profound and disturbing noise. At first, she doesn't think too much of it. After all, her sister Karen (Agnes Brekke) is in hospital with one of those unspecified sleeping illnesses that Weerasethakul seems so fond of: see Cemetery of Splendour. However the noise repeats itself again and again. And she realises that it not only shifts with her but is also apparently exclusive to her, or at least only her and certain individuals.
This intriguing premise gives what could be described as the narrative drive of the film and will have the very patient enthralled. But it has to be said immediately that the long takes, the silent ellipses will be too much for many. In fact, at some points the sudden booming sound had an almost humorous effect of waking you up. This feels entirely intended. The sound could be the pounding arrival of some doom, foretelling the apocalypse: it could be the heavy tread of some rough beast slouching its way towards Bethlehem. It could be an intruder at the door, an intimation of mortality.
Jessica investigates, first by getting a sound engineer Hernán (Juan Pablo Urrego) to recreate the noise and in so doing suggests that perhaps all art is about recreating dreamed-of noises and visions. Following a visit to a doctor who's more into Jesus than medicine, Jessica encounters another Hernán (Elkin Diaz), a man who has never seen a film, or listened to music, or even left his village because he remembers everything and could be the solution to the mysterious sound.
Memoria is gloriously weird and it has that most magical quality of making you look at things in a totally different way. There are shots of skies towards the end of the film which you look at from a totally different perspective from the way you might have regarded similar shots at the beginning. Likewise, it will make you attentive to sound in a strange new way. Yes, Weerasethakul's films may put you to sleep. But within that sleep, there are dreams and awakenings that are valuable and lasting. This goes beyond the simple idea of meaning and there might be the suspicion that when you get down to it there is no real there there, but that in itself might be a very profound realisation.

The list shall set out the correlations between the serial numbers, the corresponding on-board sewage treatment plant types and the type approval numbers. Furthermore, the list shall also include particular information for those cases where the manufacturer discontinues production of a type-approved on-board sewage treatment plant type. Should the competent authority not demand the regular provision of such a list from the manufacturer, the manufacturer shall retain the data recorded for a period of at least 40 years.
Member States can recognize type approvals for on-board sewage treatment systems based on different standards for the use on their national waterways. These type approvals should be notified to the Commission.
The competent authority issuing a type approval shall ensure – if necessary working in conjunction with the other competent authorities – that the serial numbers of the on-board sewage treatment plants manufactured in conformity with the requirements of this Chapter are registered and checked.
An additional check of the serial numbers may take place in conjunction with the check on conformity of production as laid down in Article 14a.09.
In relation to the checking of the serial numbers, the manufacturer or their authorised representatives located in the Member States shall, if requested, promptly supply the competent authority with all necessary information relating to their direct purchasers as well as the serial numbers of those on-board sewage treatment plants which have been reported as manufactured in accordance with Article 14a.06(3).
Should a manufacturer be unable to comply with the requirements set out in Article 14a.06 when requested to do so by the competent authority, the approval for the on-board sewage treatment plant type concerned may be withdrawn. In such a case the notification procedure specified in Article 14a.10(4) shall be used.
The competent authority issuing a type approval shall ascertain in advance – if necessary working in conjunction with the other competent authorities – that suitable arrangements have been made to ensure effective checking of conformity of production in respect of the requirements of Appendix VI, Part I.
The competent authority which has issued a type approval shall ascertain – if necessary working in conjunction with the other competent authorities – that the arrangements specified in paragraph 1 in respect of the provisions of Appendix VI, Part I continue to be sufficient and that every on-board sewage treatment plant provided with a type approval number in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter continues to correspond to the description in the type approval certificate and its annexes for the type-approved on-board sewage treatment plant type.
The competent authority may recognise comparable tests by other competent authorities as equivalent to the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2.
Non-conformity with the type-approved on-board sewage treatment plant type shall be deemed to exist when there are deviations from the characteristics in the type approval certificate or, as the case may be, from the information package which have not been approved in accordance with Article 14a.05(3) by the competent authority which issued the type approval.
Should the competent authority which has issued a type approval find that on-board sewage treatment plants do not conform with the on-board sewage treatment plant type for which it issued the approval, it shall take the necessary measures to ensure that on-board sewage treatment plants in production again conform with the type-approved on-board sewage treatment plant type. The competent authority which found the non-conformity shall notify the other competent authorities and the Commission of the measures taken, which may extend to withdrawal of the type approval.
If a competent authority is able to demonstrate that on-board sewage treatment plants provided with a type approval number do not conform with the type-approved on-board sewage treatment plant type, it may require the competent authority which issued the type approval to have the on-board sewage treatment plant type that is in production checked for conformity with the type-approved on-board sewage treatment plant type. Such action shall be taken within six months of the date of the request.
The competent authorities shall notify each other and the Commission within one month of any withdrawal of a type approval and of the reasons for such withdrawal.
No later than three months after the commissioning of the passenger vessel or, in the case of retrofitting of the on-board sewage treatment plant, after it has been installed and the appropriate performance test has been carried out, the competent authority shall take a random sample during operation of the passenger vessel in order to check the values set out in Article 14a.02(2), Table 2.
At irregular intervals the competent authority shall carry out functionality checks on the on-board sewage treatment plant by means of random sample measurements to check the values set out in Article 14a.02(2), Table 2.
Should the competent authority find that the values of the random sample measurements do not conform with the values set out in Article 14a.02(2), Table 2, it may demand:
that the defects in the on-board sewage treatment plant be remedied so as to ensure that it runs properly;
that the on-board sewage treatment plant be made to conform with the type approval again; or
that a special test be carried out in accordance with paragraph 3.
Once the non-conformities have been remedied and the on-board sewage treatment plant has been made to conform with the type approval again, the competent authority may carry out new random sample measurements.
If the defects are not remedied or the conformity of the on-board sewage treatment plant with the specifications of the type approval is not restored, the competent authority shall seal the on-board sewage treatment plant and inform the inspection body to make an entry to that effect in item 52 of the vessel certificate.
The random samples shall be measured in accordance with the specifications of Article 14a.02(2), Table 2.
Should the competent authority find any discrepancies in the on-board sewage treatment plant indicating a deviation from the type approval, the competent authority shall carry out a special test to determine the present state of the on-board sewage treatment plant in relation to the components specified in the on-board sewage treatment plant parameters record, the calibration and the setting of the parameters of the on-board sewage treatment plant.
Should the competent authority come to the conclusion that the on-board sewage treatment plant is not in conformity with the type-approved on-board sewage treatment plant type, it may take the following actions:
demand that:
the conformity of the on-board sewage treatment plant be restored; or
the type approval in accordance with Article 14a.05 be amended accordingly; or
order measurement in accordance with the test specification as set out in Appendix VII.
If conformity is not restored or the type approval is not amended accordingly, or if it becomes apparent from the measurements made in accordance with point (b) that the limit values laid down in Article 14a.02(2), Table 1 are not complied with, the competent authority shall seal the on-board sewage treatment plant and inform the inspection body to make an entry to that effect in item 52 of the vessel certificate.
The tests in accordance with paragraph 3 shall be carried out on the basis of the manufacturer's guide to checking the components and parameters of the on-board sewage treatment plant relevant to sewage treatment. This guide, which shall be compiled by the manufacturer and approved by a competent authority, shall specify the treatment-relevant components as well as settings, dimensioning criteria and parameters to be applied in order to ensure that the values set out in Article 14a.02(2), Tables 1 and 2 are continuously maintained.

The procedure for testing an on-board sewage treatment plant is laid down in Appendix VII.
3. Evaluation of conformity of production
With regard to the verification of the existence of satisfactory arrangements and procedures for ensuring effective control of production conformity before granting type approval, the competent authority must accept the manufacturer's registration to harmonised standard EN ISO 9001:2008 (whose scope covers the production of the on-board sewage treatment plants concerned) or an equivalent accreditation standard as satisfying the requirements. The manufacturer must provide details of the registration and undertake to inform the competent authority of any revisions to its validity or scope. Appropriate production inspections shall be carried out in order to ensure that the requirements of Article 14a.02(2) to (5) are consistently being fulfilled.
The holder of the type approval must:
ensure that procedures are in place for the effective control of the quality of the product;
have access to the testing equipment necessary for checking conformity with each type-approved type;
ensure that the results of the tests are recorded and that these records and the relevant documentation remain available for a period to be agreed with the competent authority;
analyse closely the results of each type of test, in order to verify and ensure the consistency of the on-board sewage treatment plant's characteristics, making allowance for normal variations in series production;
ensure that any samples from on-board sewage treatment plants or test pieces revealing apparent non-conformity in the type of test in question give rise to further sampling and testing, all necessary measures being taken to restore conformity of production.
The competent authority which has granted type approval may at any time verify the conformity control methods applied at each production works.
The test and production documentation shall be made available to the tester at each test.
If the quality of the tests appears unsatisfactory, the following procedure shall be applied:
one on-board sewage treatment plant shall be taken from the series and tested by means of random sample measurements in the normal load condition of the Appendix VII after one day operation. The treated sewage must according to the test methods in Appendix VII not exceed the values set out in Article 14a.02(2), Table 2;
should any on-board sewage treatment plant taken from the series fail to satisfy the requirements laid down in point 3.3.2.1 the manufacturer may ask for random sample measurements to be carried out on a number of on-board sewage treatment plants of the same specification taken from the series. This new sample must include the on-board sewage treatment plant originally taken. The manufacturer shall determine the scope n of the series in consultation with the competent authority. The on-board sewage treatment plants shall undergo testing by means of random sample measurement with the exception of the plant originally taken. The arithmetical mean
of the results obtained with the random sample of the on-board sewage treatment plant must then be determined. The series production shall be regarded as conforming with requirements if the following condition is fulfilled:
k is a statistical factor which is dependent on n and is given in the following table:
if n≥20,
St = , where xi is any individual result obtained from the random sample n;
L is the admissible limit value set out in Article 14a.02(2) Table 2 for each pollutant studied;
if the values as set out in Article 14a.02(2), Table 2 are not complied with, a new test shall be carried out according to point 3.3.2.1 and, in case that tests has no positive results, in accordance with point 3.3.2.2 a full test is carried out, following the test procedure provided in Appendix VII. The limit values as set out in Article 14a.02(2), Table 1 may not be exceeded for either the composite sample or the random sample.
The competent authority must carry out the tests on on-board sewage treatment plants which are partially or fully functional according to the information supplied by the manufacturer.
The normal frequency of tests of conformity of production which the competent authority is entitled to conduct shall be one per year. In case of non-compliance with the requirements of point 3.3.2 the competent authority shall ensure that all necessary steps are taken to restore production conformity without delay.

Test procedure
1.1 Basics
The test specification shall be used to verify the suitability of on-board sewage treatment plants on passenger vessels.
In this procedure, the process and treatment technology used shall be examined and approved by means of a test plant. Conformity of the test plant with the treatment plants in service later is assured by applying identical design and dimensioning criteria.
1.2. Responsibility and test location
The test plant for a range of on-board sewage treatment plant types shall be tested by a technical service. The test conditions at the test site are the responsibility of the technical service and must correspond to the conditions specified here.
1.3 Documents to be submitted
The test shall be carried out on the basis of the information document in accordance with Appendix VI, Part II.
1.4 Plant dimensioning specifications
The on-board sewage treatment plants shall be dimensioned and designed such that the limit values specified in Article 14a.02(2), Tables 1 and 2 in their outflow are not exceeded in the course of their operation.
2 MEASURES PREPARATORY TO TESTING
Prior to commencement of the test the manufacturer shall supply the technical service with structural and process specifications of the test plant, to include a complete set of drawings and supporting calculations in accordance with Appendix VI, Part II, and shall provide full information on the on-board sewage treatment plant's requirements in terms of installation, operation and maintenance. The manufacturer shall supply the technical service with information on the mechanical, electrical and technical safety of the on-board sewage treatment plant to be tested.
2.2 Installation and putting into service
For the purpose of the test, the manufacturer shall install the test plant in such a way as to correspond to the intended installation conditions on board passenger vessels. Prior to testing the manufacturer must assemble the on-board sewage treatment plant and put it into service. Start-up must be in accordance with the manufacturer's operating instructions and shall be checked by the technical service.
2.3 Run-in phase
The manufacturer shall notify the technical service of the nominal duration of the run-in phase up to normal operation in weeks. The manufacturer shall specify the point where the run-in phase is deemed to be complete and testing may commence.
2.4 Inflow characteristics
Domestic raw sewage shall be used for testing the test plant. The inflow characteristics as regards pollutant concentrations shall be obtained from the on-board sewage treatment plant manufacturer's dimensioning documentation in accordance with Appendix VI, Part II by forming the quotient for the flow rate of organic substances in the form of a BOD5 load in kg/d and the design flow rate of sewage Qd in m3/d. The inflow characteristics shall be set accordingly by the inspection body.
Calculation of the inflow characteristics
Should application of formula 1 result in a lower average BOD5 concentration of less than CBOD5mean = 500 mg/l, at least a mean BOD5 concentration in the inflow water of CBOD5,min = 500 mg/l shall be set.
The technical service must not break up the inflowing raw sewage in a comminatory. Removal of sand (e.g. by screening out) is permissible.
3. TEST PROCEDURE
3.1 Loading phases and hydraulic feeding
The test period shall comprise 30 test days. The test plant shall be fed on the test field with domestic waste water in accordance with the loading specified in Table 1. Various loading phases shall be covered, with the test sequence taking account of normal loading phases and special loading phases such as overload, underload and stand-by operation. The duration of each loading phase (number of test days) is set out in Table 1. The mean daily hydraulic load for each loading phase shall be set in accordance with Table 1. The mean pollutant concentration, to be set in accordance with point 2.4, shall be kept constant.

The special load phases overload, underload and stand-by operation shall be carried out consecutively without interruption; the normal load phase shall be divided into several part phases. The test shall start and end with a normal load phase, of at least five days' duration in each case.
Daily hydraulic feeding hydrographs shall be set, depending on the specified operation of the on-board sewage treatment plant. The daily hydraulic feeding hydrograph shall be selected in accordance with the plant operation concept for the on-board sewage treatment plant. A distinction shall be made according to whether the on-board treatment plant is to be operated with or without an upstream sewage storage tank. The feeding hydrographs (daily hydrographs) are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Throughout the entire test period the hourly inflow must remain constant. The mean hourly volumetric flow rate of sewage Qh,mean is equivalent to 1/24 of the daily hydraulic load according to Table 1. The inflow shall be measured continuously by the technical service. The daily hydrograph must keep within a ± 5 % tolerance.

Daily hydrograph for feeding of on-board sewage treatment plant without upstream sewage storage tank
3.2 Interruption or cancellation of the test
It may be necessary to interrupt the test if the test plant can no longer be operated properly due to power failure or the malfunction of a subassembly. The test may be interrupted for the duration of the repair. In such cases it is not necessary to repeat the whole of the test, only the loading phase in which the subassembly malfunction took place.
After the test is interrupted for a second time, the technical service shall decide whether the test may be continued or must be cancelled. The grounds for the decision must be stated and documented in the test report. Should the test be cancelled it must be repeated in full.
3.3 Examinations of purification efficiency and compliance with outflow limit values
The technical service shall take samples from the inflow to the test plant and analyse them in order to confirm conformity with the inflow characteristics. Sewage samples shall be taken from the outflow of the test plant and analysed to determine the purification efficiency and compliance with the required outflow limit values. Sampling carried out shall include both simple random samples and 24h composite samples. In the case of the 24h composite samples, either time-proportional or flow-proportional sampling may be carried out. The type of 24h composite sample shall be specified by the inspection body. Sampling in the inflow and outflow shall be carried out simultaneously and to the same degree.
In addition to the control parameters BOD5, COD and TOC the following parameters for inflow and outflow shall be measured in order to describe and represent the environmental and test conditions:
solids removable by filtration (SRF);
pH;
conductivity;
temperature of liquid phases.
The number of examinations varies according to the relevant loading phase and is set out in Table 2. The number of samplings relates to the inflow or outflow of the test plant.

Notes on determining biochemical oxygen demand after five days (BOD5) in 24h composite samples
The International Standards ISO 5815 and 5815-2: 2003 stipulate that in order to carry out the analysis to determine biochemical oxygen demand after five days water samples should be stored immediately after sampling and up to the time of analysis in a brim-full, tightly sealed bottle at a temperature of 0–4 °C. The process of determining BOD5 should be initiated as soon as possible or at least within twenty-four hours of completion of sampling.
In order to prevent biochemical degradation processes starting in the 24h composite sample, in practice the water sample is cooled to a maximum of 4 °C while sampling continues, and is stored at this temperature once the sampling process is complete.
Suitable sampling equipment is commercially available.
(1) Member States may implement equivalent procedures.
(2) Instead of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) the total organic carbon (TOC) may also be referred to for the check.
(5) Operating phases
The following operating phases shall be defined for testing:
Stand-by operation is when the on-board sewage treatment plant is running but has not been fed with sewage for more than a day. An on-board sewage treatment plant may be in stand-by operation when, for example, the passenger vessel is not in service for an extended period and sits idle at its mooring.
Emergency operation is when individual subassemblies of an on-board sewage treatment plant have malfunctioned, so that the sewage cannot be treated as intended.
Run-down, standstill and restart operation is when an on-board sewage treatment plant is taken out of service for an extended period (winter mooring) and the power supply is switched off, or when the on-board sewage treatment plant is started up again at the beginning of the season.
(6) Specify as appropriate.
(8) In case tests are made by the competent authority mark "not relevant".
(10) In case of more test cycles indicate for each cycle.
(11) No limit values exist for the inflow.
(12) Relevant type-approval certificate.
(13) Specify as appropriate.
(14) To include by tester.

Soccer wins first game in three years
For the first time in three years, the Granville boys soccer team won a game Monday night, said coach Daniel Brayton. Playing under the lights, Gabe Pratt scored the game's only goal against Arlington in the forth minute of the first half. Ricky Prevost assisted the play with a long run and a through pass to Pratt. Pratt's first shot was deflected into the post, but he put away the rebound. The rest of the game was closely matched, back and forth. Arlington outshot Granville, but Phil Hicks earned the shutout. Arlington applied pressure during the last 10 minutes, but the Horde held them back.
Earlier, the team dropped a 6-0 game to Tamarac at home on Oct. 5. It was a close, well-contested game in the first half, with Tamarac scoring only once, but Casey Boswell had a strong second half with five goals. Granville's Phil Hicks was strong in goal, making 16 saves.
The Granville boys soccer team took a 9-0 loss at home to Hoosick Falls on Wednesday, Oct. 3, dropping them to last place in the league.
Hoosick Falls had a strong start with two quick goals at the beginning of the game and didn't let off the offensive pressure until after the first half. Granville's Phil Hicks made 14 saves in the goal.
