The National Occupational Standards (NOS) developed by LSSSDC are laid down and validated by employers in Life Sciences Sector through multiple level of interactions and engagement with LSSSDC.
National Occupational Standards (NOS) specify the standard of performance an individual must achieve when carrying out a function in the workplace, together with the knowledge and understanding they need to meet that standard consistently. Each NOS defines one key function in a job role. Each NOS is a concise and readable document, usually consisting of no more than five or six pages (some are only one or two). NOS always have measurable outcomes as "Performance Criteria".
Often NOS are misunderstood by many as Courses / Training Programs / Units / Qualifications/ Curriculum.
Description of functions, standards of performance and knowledge/understanding.
Developed/ laid out by/with Employers.
A set of NOS, aligned to a job role, called Qualification Pack, would be available for every job role in Life Sciences sector. Each Qualification Pack is benchmarked at a specific Skill/ Competency level as per National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF).
A Qualification Pack aligned to NSQF drives both the creation of a course, curriculum & content, and assessments. Thus NSQF makes it possible to drive competency/ outcome based training and assessment for every job role in industry.
Such NSQF aligned Qualification Pack along with its curriculum and assessment guidelines is then approved by National Skills Qualification Committee (NSQC) as Indian Vocational Qualification and is them listed in National Qualification Register (NQR).
It would be possible for all current vocational courses, like MES, ITI Courses, or similar vocational courses in schools, colleges and polytechnics to be aligned to job roles at specific NSQF Levels. An ITI Course in Fitter/ Mechanical would say they are training for Machine /Production Operator at NVQF Level 4. Similarly a pharmacy college, training in pharmacy, may say it is training for NVQF Level 5 for Production Chemist.
At LSSSDC, we understand the importance of usability of the documents developed, hence have prepared a self-help manual for all users to read and use the Qualification Pack Document.

Torbay organizing group to help town sponsor refugee family
Nfld. & Labrador
Geoff Gallant says he's hoping to put a committee together to figure out how the town can sponsor a family to come to Torbay, and hope other municipalities follow.
'I know that this community has room for one more person,' says deputy mayor
CBC News · Posted: Sep 18, 2015 5:00 AM NT | Last Updated: September 18, 2015
Geoff Gallant, deputy mayor in Torbay, says his community has room for one more family and he hopes other municipalities will come up with similar plans to sponsor a refugee family to come to Newfoundland and Labrador. (CBC)
Torbay's deputy mayor is looking to get a group together so the town can sponsor a refugee family to come to the Newfoundland community.
Geoff Gallant said, like many others, he was moved to do something to help with the refugee crisis overseas after seeing a photo of a drowned Syrian toddler.
As Syrian refugees seek asylum, refugees in Newfoundland share their stories
N.L. looking to boost number of refugees by 60%, says Clyde Jackman
Gallant brought the subject up with a number of people and realized there was a fair amount of support to form a committee to bring a family to Torbay so he decided to talk to local organizations that help refugees to see what a municipality could do.
We're not trying to take on anything that we can't handle and I know that this community has room for one more person. - Geoff Gallant
"It's very topical right now so it was on the tip of a lot of people's tongues here in Torbay and as soon as I put out the call for volunteers to form this regional committee to sponsor a single family, I've got probably about a dozen responses already from people wanting to help," he said.
He added there wasn't any real reluctance to help, but there are some who criticize his plan.
"Reserve final judgment on the initiative we're trying to do. We haven't even formed the committee yet so we don't know what type of shape this is going to take," said Gallant.
"I'm really optimistic that once we put the volunteer committee in shape that everything else is going to fall into place for donations and who knows what, how things are going to look."
Geoff Gallant says he's received at least a dozen responses of people interested in a committee forming to help bring a refugee family to Torbay. (CBC)
However, Gallant said he isn't deterred and intends to bring his idea to a Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador conference to get other communities looking at the idea.
"I think it's important as local leaders that we can kind of step up and do our part," he said.
"I don't think that helping these refugees or a single refugee family belongs to any one group or another."
'No cap' on number of Syrian refugees N.L. can accept
Canada's immigration system is backlogged, needs reform, says refugee advocate
According to Gallant, estimates of the financial commitment on the town's part doesn't change his mind.
"One of the most important things to note — lots of people who are kind of criticizing it don't have all the information — is that we're not trying to set up a refugee camp or sponsor a million people to come here," he said.
"We're not trying to take on anything that we can't handle and I know that this community has room for one more person, so I'd like for us to get together and show the world what we're made of and help out one child or one family that really needs help right now."
Gallant added the logistics can be sorted out in future, once the committee is actually put together and plans can be made.

Later this year, the three employee apartments on Erasmus University Rotterdam's Campus Woudestein will make way for the new 'Park Noord'. As a tribute, between 18 and 28 May 2015, two of the apartments will be hosting the 'Campus life over the years' exhibition organised by the university. The exhibition will include previously unseen pictures of the campus, portraits of international students and unique stories from former residents.
Since the earliest days of Erasmus University Rotterdam, it has not only been a place of study but a place of residence too. In 1969, three employee apartments were built on the north side of the site. Originally, these housed the heads of the security department, the technical department and the household department (later Erasmus Facility Services). The residents of what was still quite a remote campus at the time were responsible for surveillance rounds and maintenance and repair work.
The employee apartments have always accommodated staff from Erasmus University. The last resident is Harmen Rebel, Security Officer, who has enjoyed living here with his family for four years.
Since 2009, Campus Woudestein has also been home to students: 109 international students in F-building and 374 in Hatta Building. Erasmus University now has a large community of international students.
Later this year, the three employee apartments will make way for the future 'Park Noord'. This new park with sports facilities will be located on the north side of Campus Woudestein and is part of the new development of the university site.
As a tribute, Campus in Development is organising the exhibition 'Campus life over the years' in two of the apartments. This includes previously unseen pictures of the campus, portraits of international students and unique stories from former residents of the apartments.
The exhibition will open at 4.00 p.m. on Monday 18 May and can be visited on workdays between 12.00 p.m. and 5.00 p.m., and on Monday evenings until 9.00 p.m.

Hogan & Bischoff Upset With Sting Over Missing Shows
Wrestling NewsImpact News
Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff appeared on The Bubba the Love Sponge Show last Friday for a combination work/shoot interview segment that included one new piece of news, which was Bischoff knocking Sting for missing the last set of television tapings.
Sting missed last month's Genesis pay-per-view and subsequent television tapings due to a family emergency, though it remains unclear what is was exactly. What is known is that nobody is questioning its legitimacy considering that he has been in the wrestling industry for years and has never had a reputation for coming up with excuses to miss dates.
Bischoff said that everyone in TNA has to be completely committed to the organization or things won't work out, with Hogan adding he doesn't see how they can use anyone missing shows. Internally, it was noted as a message being sent to Sting, though it's unlikely he'll get it considering that he pays no attention to the wrestling business except on days when he's working as he doesn't follow it online. Nonetheless, the belief was Sting had a very legitimate reason for missing the last set of shows.
Bischoff said, "Sting's a great talent. Love him to death. My problem is now that we're trying to do this big picture. I understand how big picture it is for the wrestling business. Sting had life-and-death personal issues, but from a business side, it totally screws us up. If at any time that happens, I got a personal issue, now we have to switch gears on who we use, you can't build the world around them.
"Everybody has got to make a commitment. It's easy to say we want TNA to be No. 1, but if you're not willing to put TNA as a priority above almost every situation, then it's probably not going to work out."

Q: Printing from my .net app and the colors are wrong I am printing a custom generated image to 2 different color printers and the colors are off. If I save that same image out to a png, it looks fine and even prints fine via the photo viewer. I have set the PageSettings.PrinterResolution to the PrinterResolution on the PrinterSettings with a kind of "High" and nothing. Thanks.
[EDIT] also, if I print to a pdf via cutepdf the color is fine there as well

A: Maybe the color depth of your generated image is different (16 bits vs 24 or 32)?

A: Turns out that changing the quality on the printsettings did the trick, it just didn't appear to until I got the image in better light.

Written by: A. Lee, T. Balsamo
The song was originally written for the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe, but was scrapped by the director. "I thought it would be awesome for the opening scene, but they wanted something original," says Lee of the Mozart cover. [1]
It features elements of W.A. Mozart's "Lacrimosa" from his 'Requiem in D Minor.' More info on that composition can be found here.
A 22-cord orchestra led by Dave Campbell (with whom Evanescence had already worked for their performance at the Billboard Awards 2004) starts off the song in order to introduce a choir, which serves as back up for Amy's vocals.
"Dave Campbell is an enormous inspiration source for me," says Amy. "He's so talented. The way he arranges orchestral parts is remarkable. It's the element of our music that makes me cry!"
Terry's guitar solo in the middle of the song adds to its sheer epic sound before the choir closes with a stunning decrescendo.
Amy's description of the song: [2]
"I saw Amadeus when I was nine years old and fell in love with Mozart. The part of Mozart's Requiem called "Lacrimosa" is my favorite piece of music ever. I always wished we could cover it, but with programming and guitars and make it cool. It's our moment to try all the things I wanted to and couldn't, so I started messing with it in Protools. Terry wrote some riffs and turned it into this awesome metal epic."
Recorded in a chapel near Seattle.

Set your guilt free
Nothing can hold you back now

I feel like myself again
Grieving the things I can't repair and willing ...

I don't want to hold you back now love
I can't change who I am
Not this time, I wont lie to keep you near me
And in this short life
There's no time to waste on giving up
My love wasn't enough
And you can blame it on me
Just set your guilt free, honey

The flexible thermal protection system contains two outer surface layers made of ceramic fiber fabric, several layers of insulator, and then a gas barrier that prevents hot gases from getting to directly to the inflatable structure. The inflatable structure is a high temperature capable, flexible structure that is inflated to provide the cone shape that the FTPS drapes over. (Credits: NASA/Greg Swanson)
HAMPTON, Va. (NASA PR) — A NASA technology that could one day help land humans on Mars is about to head into final integration and testing before a sub-orbital flight test next year.
Two key components of the Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator (LOFTID) are complete and recently arrived at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. At Langley, engineers will test the complete system to ensure LOFTID is flight ready.
ULA's Bruno Denies Igniter Problems with Vulcan Centaur's BE-4 Engine

Sadly inaccurate. Ie: while BE4 paces completion of Vulcan, as is typical in rocket development , there are no "igniter technical issues". We will fly when our payload is ready.
— Tory Bruno (@torybruno) June 22, 2021
In a recent report, the GAO — Government Accountability Office — had reported technical issues with the Blue Origin produced BE-4 engine that will power United Launch Alliance's new Vulcan Centaur rocket.
Vulcan Centaur's first flight will launch Astrobotic Technology's Peregrine on a mission to land on the moon. That flight was scheduled for the end of 2021, but it has slipped into next year due to COVID-19 pandemic related delays with Peregrine.

by Douglas Messier
The United States reclaimed the top spot in launches from China last year as NASA astronauts flew into orbit from American soil for the first time in nearly nine years, SpaceX deployed the world's first satellite mega-constellation with reused rockets, and two new launchers debuted with less than stellar results.
American companies conducted 44 launches in 2020, with 40 successes and four failures. Bryce Tech reports that U.S. companies accounted for 32 of the 41 commercial launches conducted last year. The majority of those flights were conducted by SpaceX, which launched 25 orbital missions.
China came in second with a record of 35 successful launches and four failures. The 39 launch attempts tied that nation's previous record for flights during a calendar year.
Let's take a closer look at what U.S. companies achieved last year.

El Salvador set to reopen abortion trial of teen rape victim
By Anastasia Moloney
BOGOTA, July 10 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – A teenage rape victim in El Salvador who was convicted for murdering her child and jailed for nearly three years after a stillbirth will face a retrial next week, her lawyers said on Wednesday.
Evelyn Beatriz Hernandez was handed a 30-year prison sentence in 2017 for aggravated murder by a female judge who ruled the teenager had induced an abortion, which is a crime under any circumstance in the Central American nation.

Imelda Cortez became pregnant at the age of 18 and denies trying to abort the baby, which is a crime under any circumstances in El Salvador.

The match is into the 92nd minute, and the No. 10 Cal women's soccer team has the ball in Utah's half. Midfielder Emma Fletcher launches the ball deep, but Utah intercepts it. The Ute defender, however, bundles the interception, and Cal forward Arielle Ship latches onto the ball. Ship makes her way into the box and releases a shot to the keeper's right. The ball beats the keeper but hits the post, and Utah is able to clear it.
Had Ship's shot been millimeters to the right, Cal would have walked away with its 13th win of the season, but the miss meant it had to be content with a draw.
The Utes came out strong in the first half, utilizing a double pivot in midfield to negate Cal's attacking flow. Katie Rogers played the role of the deep-lying midfielder with Cabria Turang dropping deep to offer defensive support. The modified 4-5-1 helped Utah in isolating Cal players when they had possession and forced them to make mistakes.
The Bears still were able to attack, with Ship coming close to scoring in the sixth minute, as she held off her defender and curled a low shot to goalie July Mathias' right. Mathias, although blindsided by her defenders, was able to pull off a very impressive save.
The Utes drew first blood in the 23rd minute through Taylor Slattery. Slattery held off her marker at the right and then twisted to push the ball farther. She then curled the ball into the net and broke Boyd's impressive run of not conceding a goal for 223 minutes of play.
McGuire's tactical switch of changing from a 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2 allowed his wingbacks to be more adventurous in Cal's search for an equalizer. The wingbacks going forward also helped the midfield to absorb less pressure from the double pivot that Utah was deploying.
The Bears shot thrice before redshirt senior Ifeoma Onumonu equalized for Cal in the 60th minute. Fullback Haley Lukas sent in a beautifully weighted cross from the left and Onumonu headed it in to score her ninth goal of the season.
The goal gave Cal the impetus to start attacking more, and midfielder Emma Fletcher was at the center of the action as she gave a very impressive and energetic performance in the middle of the park. Fletcher tracked back, intercepted, dribbled past and picked out some very crucial build-up passes.
The last minutes of regulation time and overtime was characterized by Cal throwing everything in attack and Utah looking to counter. Rogers came close to scoring for the Utes in the 95th minute, as her header hit the crossbar. Natalie Vukic also nearly scored, but a terrific save from Boyd denied Utah the win.
The draw puts Cal one point behind their next opponent, No. 22 Colorado. The Buffs currently sit on top of the Pac-12 standings and are 6-1-0 in Pac-12 play so far. The match will be a top-of-the-table clash, and considering Colorado's fine form, Cal will be in for a tough fight.

Essay about People Make Decisions To Blend In
As people we experience many different situations that make an impact on our lives in one way or another. Think about a situation that has required someone to make a decision. Now think of all the factors that came into play when that person made their final decision. For example, you go to the store and pick one shirt out of ten other shirts to buy. Why? Were friends there encouraging the fact that the shirt looked great on? Was an adult telling you the shirt was the most appropriate to get? Maybe even a store clerk told you the shirt was on sale. Every choice we can make in life comes with certain pressures. Every situation has peer, situational, or authority pressure. If we know these pressures exist then why do we fall susceptible to them? Why do we let choices like smoking cigarettes be influenced by these pressures? The reason people smoke is for many different reasons including peer, situational, and authoritative pressures.
When people are out at the bars or clubs it is not uncommon for them to be drinking. While these people are drinking they will also smoke. However, these people do not smoke when they are not drinking. If a person only smokes because they are drinking it is situational pressure. The article, "What makes good people do bad things?" supports situational pressures. According to Philip G. Zimbardo, who is retired psychology professor at Stanford University and the former APA president, "I argue situational forces dominate most of us at various times in our lives." If situational forces control us at times in our lives it is not hard to understand why people only smoke when they drink. The Stanford Prison Experiment confirms this idea. At the start of the experiment Guard A was quoted saying, "As I am a p...

Both kombu (a savory kelp) and bonito flakes (dried, smoked skipjack tuna) are high in flavorful umami compounds, which help make the broth in this dish (called dashi) rich and smoky. While it may require a trip to a health-foods store or Asain grocery to find these ingredients, the broth itself is super easy to make and freezes nicely.
Line a fine mesh strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth and set over a large bowl.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Meanwhile, put the kombu in another large pot with 6 cups of water. Bring to a simmer over high heat; adjust the heat and simmer the kombu for 5 minutes. Remove the kombu, then add the bonito flakes to the pot. Bring back to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Strain the mixture through the cheesecloth-lined strainer, return the liquid to the pot and stir in the mirin, soy sauce and vinegar. The broth can be used immediately, or cooled and refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 1 month.
Put the sesame seeds in a small skillet and toast over medium heat until lightly golden, about 3 minutes, swirling the pan frequently so they toast evenly. Set aside. The sesame seeds can be toasted and stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Cut the leafy tops off of the bok choy and set aside. Cut the stems into bite-size pieces. Add the bok choy stems and ginger to the broth, bring a simmer and cook until the bok choy is just tender, about 5 minutes. Add the bok choy tops, shrimp and leek to the broth, bring back up to a simmer and cook until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Divide the soba among 4 deep bowls. Ladle broth, vegetables and shrimp into the bowls and sprinkle each with sesame seeds and radish. Serve with Japanese hot pepper seasoning on the side if using.

How is losing over $50,000 of contracted revenue a good thing?
To be sure, we didn't want to lose this contract. Having an extra $3,000 in capital to play with every month is a convenient reality. However, sometimes things happen for a reason. The demands of the contract were going to be immense, and the scope of the contract was well beyond that of any other contract we've had. If the contract had been signed, we would've been fairly beholden to it relative to our other contracts. Ironically enough, this is exactly why we wanted it; we see opportunity in challenge(s).
There are healthy challenges and unhealthy ones; sometimes it takes time to clarify the distinction between the two. It's possible we'll never know whether the challenge would've been an unhealthy one, but it's safe to say we believe it would've been. We aren't bitter, and it's not a function of being unable to adequately support such a large contract.
We're thankful for the chance to make it so far down the line of weeding-out the competition – most of which were large agencies. We learned how much we're capable of getting accomplished by virtue of the consideration our potential (and eventually "lost") client did give us. In fact, we were the last survivor during the filtering process. As it turns out, the process was being used to scope the work, which in turn was used to shop the contract.
Our work was shopped, but we did make it down to the last one, and that's not a small feat. Some other business was able get the eventual contract, but we'd prefer earning the slot from an actual real race to the top rather than being the business to price ourselves below the value we're worth. Also, we have clients we respect, care for, and they deserve a business that respects them as we, too, are respected. The two-way street in business is very important to us, and we can only assume we were only a means-to-the-end with the client we lost. We're not interested in such a relationship.
We have clients who share with us their genuine needs and concerns for their company and its future. We're proud to say we don't have a single client whom we don't have a close relationship with, and that's how it should be. We're humbled by the intimacy we've been able to create with our clients because it's a reflection of trust that's a responsibility, but also an honor. We don't operate with dollar lenses in our proverbial glasses; we operate with what makes sense to the client – not the other way around. We believe the circle of trust makes the revenues an automatic progression – similar to dropping a ball on an incline; it's going to roll to its destination. The same goes for revenue; it'll find its destination with us because we do what we say and say what we do – no more, no less.
Too many times, we've seen the damage that's inflicted by losing perspective. Too many times we've seen the perspective get lost in a top-down mindset that begins with the revenue. We believe if a business is operating from the dollar first, they're doomed – maybe not now, but definitely later.
The world of business is riddled with businesses that are driven by the wrong things. Do some survive? Yes, some "survive" – but that's a shallow game. Of course, revenue is important; it's essential to be profitable to justify operating, but someone needs to be willing to pay for a product or service. More importantly, one should be more than willing to pay, and – ideally – they'll be unconcerned with amounts and more concerned with results from the right people.
Once trust is established with good service in an enjoyable fashion, price becomes secondary in priority. We know this because we pay more for something better that we trust. There are expenses we don't have to pay and cost more than others, but we gladly pay them because the world is changing. The days of raising revenues by minimizing expenses or buying cheap have created growing pains in the business world. Whether because of learning experience by businesses in general, or because of the Y2K phase where cutting expenses was an acceptable way to window-dress profitability, businesses have learned the hard way that revenues must be genuine.
In the end, this isn't about our lost client, and it's not about money; it's quite the opposite. Money is what, ironically, kills businesses. We've seen it, and we've experienced it indirectly. People we care about have allowed money to become the mission statement, and it's a tragic thing to witness. When money is the focus and people are the means to its end, bad things come – consider it science as far as culture goes. The only sustainable competitive advantage in business today is the quality of your people. We at GoEdison know this: it was the client's loss. We wish them well, but it wasn't our loss, and we're thankful we "lost" it. We're thankful we could be part of the learning experience. Consider this blog worth $50,000.
Thank you to all who continue to pursue their dreams, passion and follow vision; the rest is a byproduct, which happens to be success!
Do you want to be our next $50,000 client? (Totally kidding) - But we do have a cool newsletter and would love to hear about your business.

Why doctors should use their real name on Twitter
Dr. Henry Woo
The General Medical Council (UK) published new guidelines that state, "If you identify yourself as a doctor in publicly accessible social media, you should also identify yourself by name. Any material written by authors who represent themselves as doctors is likely to be taken on trust and may reasonably be taken to represent the views of the profession more widely." This has undoubtedly created some discomfort among a number of doctors on Twitter. This stance is consistent with my general view on the matter.
What we say on Twitter as doctors, particularly with medically related topics, carries weight. By saying we are doctors gives our tweets a greater level of authenticity that is not commonly afforded to other users. Not only do we hold power with knowledge, we are respected for the judicious use of our knowledge which has been painstakingly acquired over many years and enhanced by a responsibility for life long learning. It is incumbent upon us to not abuse this privilege.
In my personal experience, the vast majority of doctors who declare themselves as such, will either use their real name or have reference that allows us to easily attribute their real name to what is written on their tweets. Personally, I make the choice to use my real name "Henry Woo" as my Twitter name and for my Twitter @username, a short form of my name @DrHWoo. My bio indicates that I am a doctor. My website link would give reference to my real name even if my Twitter name and Twitter @username did not have such information. I don't think it really matters if it is your user name or bio or link that has your real name as a doctor, as long as what you say is easily attributable to you as a real person.
There should be exceptional situations where using a pseudonym could be appropriate. These include whistleblowing, doctors working in small communities or a desire to comment on emotive topics such as abortion or religion that can in some instances put personal safety at risk If there is a specific issue that you wish to remain anonymous for, why not create a separate identity and state that this is the case. If you really wish to remain anonymous on Twitter, then may I suggest that you do not say that you do not mention that you are a doctor in your bio – the only reason we mention that we are a doctor in our bio because we know it adds to the authenticity and respectability to what we tweet on medical matters. Not all people who tweet on medical matters are doctors – being a doctor is not a pre-requisite. I know of a number of doctors who tweet but do not make any mention that they are doctors – I have no concerns about this – in fact I respect these doctors for not abusing the privilege of what the title doctor means.
In a free and open society, there is should only be very exceptional circumstances in which doctors should feel the need to use a pseudonym on social media. To hide because the individual wishes to publish inappropriate or controversial medical tweets indicates a lack of courage or conviction in their thoughts to use their real name. Professional bodies will create guidance on social media to factor in the lowest common denominator level of behavior that sadly does occur among us.
Henry Woo is associate professor of surgery, Sydney Adventist Hospital Clinical School, University of Sydney, Australia. He blogs at Surgical Opinion and can be reached on Twitter @DrHWoo.
