Other students are into electric pianos and keyboards. Thanks a lot for this website. Hanon piano exercises have been meticulously constructed ejercicioz provide the optimum level of practice for pianists of all levels and abilities.
Maybe by the time I have mastered the first section, you will have published more. Music essentially relies heavily on hearing. Aris Thursday, 19 Ejerckcios An efficient way to build piano technique is to play scales daily as a workout and a warm-up for your fingers, along with Hanon exercises. I just started learning piano but my teacher showed me the first exercise and that's why I searched online for Hanon.
Through the focused and concentrated practice of these exercises, all students can attain the fundamentals of superb performance and playing. Hanon Exercises 21 to Katie Saturday, 11 September I hated it instantly, but now I realize how valuable the exercises are.
Thank you so much for this web site. Delano Douglas Thursday, 30 August Deon Govender Monday, 18 August Charles Louis Hanon's Life and Works.
To ejfrcicios the utmost benefits from the logical progression of Hanon exercises, it is recommended to practise these piano exercises on a daily basis.
I have practice some these exercises in the past and they helped with ejedcicios speed, finger strength, and accuracy. In that way, pupils will rapidly notice the difference as their fingers become stronger and far more adept at challenging works and techniques. Try playing familiar songs without any notation. John Griffiths Saturday, 16 October These sequences are then exercised through moving up and down the octaves, improving musical aptitude and overall ability.

"I Can't Stand My Husband's Best Friend"
Not everybody who is friends with your significant other is going to be friends with you too, and that's fine. But at the very least, you should expect your S.O.'s friends to behave civilly toward you—and expect your S.O. to stand up for you if they don't. TiredofbeingjudgedHB isn't getting that treatment from her husband John's best friend, Sasha.
"She is always criticizing me and making me feel stupid and small," she wrote on Reddit. "One time, she came to have breakfast with us soon after I left to go the gym—and I usually dress with really colorful leggings, headband, and stuff—and she scoffed while looking at me and told me to 'have fun at the fashion show.'" There are a few other stories like this in the post, including one in which she calls her a "gold digger" because her husband, who makes much more money, largely supports her. Sasha even tried to convince John not to marry her before they got hitched.
TiredofbeingjudgedHB doesn't know what Sasha's deal is or why her husband is even friends with her. "He won't cut his ties with her, and I am not willing to give him an ultimatum but came here to ask if I should," she says. So should she? Here's what Reddit thought.
Has your S.O. ever had a friend you hated? How did you deal?

GEOFF MERRICK led his boyhood club out for their First Division debut against Arsenal at Highbury after helping them to promotion – but he could so easily have been playing for the opposition.
Merrick, an indestructible central defender who later tore up a lucrative contract to help save the club, and Tom Ritchie were the subject of a joint bid from the Gunners.
It was turned down flat by a club who had been out of the top flight for 60 years.
Bristol was the largest city in the county without a a First Division club, but they were willing to let Merrick leave.
The Gunners, however, didn't come back in with another offer to City, who had finished runners-up to Sunderland by three points the previous season.
Merrick and Ritchie were in the away dressing room for a game which City won 1-0, thanks to a goal from Paul Cheesley.
Merrick freely admits he would have been disappointed had he left Ashton Gate and not been involved in helping the club win promotion.
"It was the biggest moment of my non-illustrious career," he laughs. "It was something really special. I'm a Bristol boy, my parents were both Bristol City supporters and I first went when I was about seven. And nobody had seen them in the First Division for 60 years.
"There was talk about me going to Arsenal. They made a bid for Tom and myself of about £250,000 for the two of us and Bristol City decided they couldn't afford to lose Tom.
"But they could let me go because they had Gary Collier coming through. I know it sounds bloody awful.
"I was disappointed they were thinking of selling me and I'd miss out on the promotion with Bristol City. I have always wondered, if I had gone, would I have to do 14-hour days now?
"Anyway, they did a promotion where you could get cheap seats for the following season and it raised a fair bit of money. So they never needed to let me go.
"It never got around to me turning it down. I did see Bobby Campbell at the end of that season and he asked why I hadn't got in touch with him because they wanted to buy me.
"I don't know how well the Arsenal thing would have gone but I'd always regret not being involved in City's promotion.
"Maybe if they had sold me they might not have won promotion. You never know. I had a good season, probably my only good one!
"We almost did it the season before. It sticks in my mind. We went to Orient needing to get a result, but they beat us 1-0 with a controversial goal and the floodlights went out for ages.

Beginning with Excel 2007, the CommandBar object is in an odd position. If you write VBA code to customize a menu or a toolbar, Excel intercepts that code and ignores many of your commands. Menu and toolbar customizations performed with the CommandBar object appear in the Add-Ins ➜ Menu Commands group or the Add-Ins ➜ Custom Toolbars group. So, for all practical purposes, the CommandBar object in Excel is now limited to shortcut menu operations.
In this section, I provide some background information about CommandBars.
In later versions of Excel, that statement is ignored.
This chapter focuses exclusively on Type 2 CommandBars (shortcut menus).
Excel 2016 has 67 shortcut menus. How do I know that? I ran the ShowShortcutMenuNames procedure that follows, which loops through all CommandBars. If the Type property is msoBarTypePopUp (a built-in constant that has a value of 2), it displays the shortcut menu's index, name, and the number of menu items it contains.
Figure 18.1 shows part of the output from this procedure. The shortcut menu index values range from 22 to 156. Also, note that not all the names are unique. For example, CommandBar 36 and CommandBar 39 both have a Name of Cell because right-clicking a cell gives a different shortcut menu when the worksheet is in page break preview mode.
Figure 18.1 A simple macro generates a list of all shortcut menus.
This example is available on the book's website in the show shortcut menu names.xlsm file.
Unfortunately, the Index numbers for CommandBars have not always remained constant across the different Excel versions. For example, In Excel 2016, CommandBar 36 has the Name of Cell. In Excel 2013, CommandBar 36 had the Name of Workbook tabs. Therefore, using names rather than index numbers is more reliable.
When you execute this procedure, you see the message box shown in Figure 18.2. The ampersand is used to indicate the underlined letter in the text — the keystroke that will execute the menu item.
Figure 18.2 Displaying the Caption property for controls.
In some cases, Control objects on a shortcut menu contain other Control objects. For example, the Filter control on the Cell right-click menu contains other controls. The Filter control is a submenu, and the additional items are submenu items.
If you're writing code that will be used by a different language version of Excel, avoid using the Caption property to access a particular shortcut menu item. The Caption property is language-specific, so your code will fail if the user has a different language version of Excel.
The CommandBar names are not internationalized, so a reference to CommandBars("Column") will always work. If two more command bars have the same name, the first one is used.
· Caption: The text displayed for the control. If the control shows only an image, the Caption appears when you move the mouse pointer over the control.
· ID: A unique numeric identifier for the control.
· FaceID: A number that represents a built-in graphic image displayed next to the control's text.
· Type: A value that determines whether a control is a button (msoControlButton) or a submenu (msoControlPopup).
· Picture: A graphics image displayed next to the control's text. This property is useful if you want to display a graphic from the Ribbon.
· BeginGroup: True if a separator bar appears before the control.
· OnAction: The name of a VBA macro that executes when the user clicks the control.
· BuiltIn: True if the control is an Excel built-in control.
· Enabled: True if the control can be clicked.
· Visible: True if the control is visible. Many of the shortcut menus contain hidden controls.
The ShowShortcutMenuItems procedure that follows creates a table that lists all the first-level controls on every shortcut menu. For each control, the table includes the shortcut menu's Index and Name, plus the ID, Caption , Type, Enabled, and Visible property values.
Figure 18.3 shows a portion of the output.
Figure 18.3 Listing the items in all shortcut menus.
This example, named show shortcut menu items.xlsm, is available on the book's website.
This book's website has an example (named make xl 2003 menus.xlsm) that contains code to copy those shortcut menus to a toolbar. The toolbar is displayed on the Ribbon when the Add-Ins tab is active. As a result, you can use the Excel 2003 menus with Excel 2016.
The accompanying figure shows how the Excel 2003 menu looks in Excel 2016.
Some commands no longer function and (of course) newer features are not in the menus, so displaying Excel 2003 menus is more of a curiosity than a useful tool.
In this section, I present some practical examples of VBA code that manipulates Excel's shortcut menus. These examples, which can be modified to suit your needs, will give you an idea of the types of things you can do with shortcut menus.
In Excel versions prior to 2013, if your code modified a shortcut menu, that modification was in effect for all workbooks. For example, if you added a new item to the Cell right-click menu, that new item would appear when you right-clicked a cell in any workbook (and other workbooks that you open). In other words, shortcut menu modifications were at the application level.
Beginning in Excel 2013, Excel uses a single-document interface, which affects shortcut menus. Changes that you make to shortcut menus affect only the active workbook window. When you execute the code that modifies the shortcut menu, the shortcut menu for windows other than the active window will not be changed. This behavior is a radical departure from how things worked in previous versions of Excel.
And another twist: If the user opens a workbook (or creates a new workbook) when the active window displays the modified shortcut menu, the new workbook will also display the modified shortcut menu. In other words, new windows display the same shortcut menus as the window that was active when the new window was opened. If you write code to delete the shortcut menus, they are deleted only in the original workbook.
Even if a shortcut menu modification is intended to be used only in a single workbook, there's still a potential problem: If the user opens a new workbook, that new workbook will display the customized shortcut menus. Therefore, you might need to modify your code so the macros executed by the shortcut menus work only in the workbook for which they were designed.
If you want to use a custom shortcut menu as a way to execute a macro in an add-in, that menu item will be available only in workbooks that are opened after the add-in is opened.
Bottom line: In the past, if you opened a workbook or add-in that modified shortcut menus, you could be assured that the modified shortcut menus would be available in all workbooks. With Excel 2013 and later versions, you no longer have that assurance.
You can also use RibbonX code to customize shortcut menus. When a workbook is opened that contains such code, the shortcut menu changes affect only that workbook. To make shortcut menu modifications in all workbooks, place the RibbonX code in an add-in.
Here's a simple example of RibbonX code that modifies the Cell right-click menu. As shown in the accompanying figure, the code adds a shortcut menu item after the Hyperlink menu item.
Using RibbonX to modify shortcut menus was introduced in Excel 2010, so this technique doesn't work with Excel 2007.
As I explain in Chapter 17, you need to use a separate program to add RibbonX code.
In Excel 2016, the Reset method affects the Cell shortcut menu only in the active window.
The code starts by keeping track of the active window and storing it as an object variable (activeWin). The code then loops through all open windows and activates each one — but skips hidden windows because activating a hidden window makes it visible. For each active window, it loops through each CommandBar and resets those that are shortcut menus. Finally, the code reactivates the original window.
Both versions of the ResetAllShortcutMenus procedure are available on the book's website in the reset all shortcut menus.xlsm file.
To reenable the shortcut menu, set its Enabled property to True. Resetting a shortcut menu does not enable it.
This procedure doesn't prevent a user from using other methods to hide rows or columns, such as the Format command in the Home ➜ Cells group.
The AddToShortcut procedure that follows adds a new menu item to the Cell shortcut menu: Toggle Wrap Text. Recall that Excel has two Cell shortcut menus. This procedure modifies the normal right-click menu but not the right-click menu that appears in page break preview mode.
Figure 18.4 shows the new menu item displayed after right-clicking a cell.
Figure 18.4 The Cell shortcut menu with a custom menu item.
The first command, after the declaration of a couple of variables, calls the DeleteFromShortcut procedure (listed later in this section). This statement ensures that only one Toggle Wrap Text menu item appears on the shortcut Cell menu. Note that the underlined hot key for this menu item is W, not T, because T is already used by the Cut menu item.
The Picture property is set by referencing the image used on the Ribbon for the Wrap Text command. Refer to Chapter 17 for more information about images used in Ribbon commands.
If Err.Number <> 0 Then MsgBox"Could not toggle Wrap Text"
This procedure simply executes the WrapText Ribbon command. If an error occurs (for example, the worksheet is protected), the user gets a message.
By the way, if shortcut menus are used only in Excel 2016, you don't need to remove them when the workbook closes because the shortcut menu modifications are applied only to the active workbook window.
The workbook described in this section is available on the book's website in the add to cell shortcut.xlsm file. The file also includes a version of the macro that adds the new shortcut menu item to all open windows.
The example in this section adds a submenu with three options to the Cells shortcut menu of the active window. Figure 18.5 shows the worksheet after right-clicking a cell. Each submenu item executes a macro that changes the case of text in the selected cells.
Figure 18.5 This shortcut menu has a submenu with three submenu items.
The submenu is added first, and its Type property is msoControlPopup. Then the three submenu items are added, and each has a different OnAction property.
The workbook described in this section is available on the book's website in the shortcut with submenu.xlsm file.
· Picture: This option lets you use an imageMso from the Ribbon. For an example, see "Adding a new item to the Cell shortcut menu," earlier in this chapter.
· FaceID: This option is the easiest because the FaceID property is just a numeric value that represents one of hundreds of images.
But how do you find out which number corresponds to a particular FaceID image? Excel doesn't provide a way, so I created an application that lets you enter beginning and ending FaceID numbers. Click a button, and the images are displayed in the worksheet. Each image has a name that corresponds to its FaceID value. See the accompanying figure, which shows FaceID values from 1 to 500. This workbook, named show faceids.xlsm, is available on the book's website.
As I've noted, in Excel 2016, shortcut menu modifications are applied only to the active workbook window (workbook A). For example, you might add a new item to the Cell right-click menu in workbook A. But if the user opens a new workbook when workbook A is active, the new workbook will also display the modified shortcut menu. If you want the shortcut menu to work only when workbook A is active, you can add some code to the macro that's executed by the shortcut menu.
MsgBox"This shortcut menu doesn't work here."
The examples in this section demonstrate various shortcut menu programming techniques used with events.
I discuss event programming in Chapter 6.
If this code is used exclusively in Excel 2013 and Excel 2016, it's not necessary to restore the shortcut menus when the workbook is closed because the modifications are applied only to the active workbook and disappear when the workbook is closed.
When a shortcut menu item is disabled, its text appears in a faint shade of gray, and clicking it has no effect. When a menu item is hidden, it doesn't appear on the shortcut menu. You can, of course, write VBA code to enable or disable shortcut menu items. Similarly, you can write code to hide shortcut menu items. The key is tapping into the correct event.
To enable the menu item when Sheet2 is deactivated, add the following procedure to its code module. The net effect is that the Change Case menu item is available at all times except when Sheet2 is active.
To hide the menu item rather than disable it, simply access the Visible property instead of the Enabled property.
You can create a new shortcut menu and display it in response to a particular event. The code that follows creates a shortcut menu named MyShortcut and adds six menu items to it. These menu items have their OnAction property set to execute a simple procedure that displays one of the tabs in the Format Cells dialog box (see Figure 18.6).
Figure 18.6 A new shortcut menu appears only when the user right-clicks a cell in the shaded area of the worksheet.
If the active cell is within a range named data when the user right-clicks, the MyShortcut menu appears. Setting the Cancel argument to True ensures that the normal shortcut menu isn't displayed. Note that the mini toolbar isn't displayed.
You can also display this shortcut menu without even using the mouse. Create a simple procedure and assign a shortcut key by using the Options button in the Macro dialog box.
The book's website contains an example (named context-sensitive shortcut menu.xlsm) that creates a new shortcut menu and displays it in place of the normal Cell shortcut menu.

Ohio Task Force One joins flood rescue operations in North Carolina
Governor: More than 900 people already rescued
By: Jake Ryle
KINSTON, N.C. - Ohio Task Force One has joined the effort to rescue stranded flood victims in North Carolina.
More than 900 people have already been rescued in the path of what once was Hurricane Florence, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said, and those numbers will increase significantly, according to Phil Sinewe, public information officer for Ohio Task Force One.
"Most of the flood activity we've seen has started today," Sinewe said Sunday. "I don't have any doubt that will ramp up the next day or two. They'll get busier and busier for calls and the need for help."
Ohio Task Force One, based in Dayton, responds to major disasters to help with rescue and recovery. Last year, OH-TF1 helped Hurricane Harvey victims in Texas.
OH-TF1 helped dozens of people escape an apartment complex in Houston and helped move 90 residents from an assisted living facility in the path of flooding in Katy.
OH-TF1 has two crews, Alpha and Bravo. One of Alpha's first rescues in North Carolina was a cat clinging to a chain-link fence, Sinewe said. Both crews have been picking up stranded motorists.
"We're hoping to not do anything, not go rescue anybody," he said facetiously. "But of course, that's not why our guys are there. Our guys are there to do rescues."
More than 170 roads in North Carolina are impassable, including two major highways.
Sinewe said their biggest concern at this point is people wanting to leave their homes.
"That's no different than here in Cincinnati. Someone ventures out after a really bad storm, thinks they can drive through high water. That's multiplied by thousands of people," he said.
Sinewe said he doesn't expect OH-TF1 to be in North Carolina for longer than a week, though they could move to West Virginia to help with rescues there.

Q: Run pyd compiled with python2.6 on python2.7 I have a python pyd module that has been compiled with python26.dll (its 'msparser' by matrixscience, a library to interface with some mass spectrometry data formats).  It is possible to use this pyd module on windows with activestate python 2.7.  However, on a generic install it throws the ImportError: DLL load failed... because python26.dll is missing.
So, is there any advice for importing a pyd compiled with an earlier version of python on a later version of python?  Activestate is achieving this somehow so I guess it has to be possible.

Chapter 51: Predisposal of Radioactive Waste – Storage
Within the context of predisposal management of radioactive waste, storage refers to the placement of radioactive waste in a nuclear facility where appropriate isolation and monitoring are provided. In radioactive waste management, storage may take place between and within the basic radioactive waste management steps. Storage may be used to facilitate the next step in radioactive waste management, to act as a buffer within and between radioactive waste management steps, or in awaiting the decay of radionuclides until authorized discharge, authorized use or clearance can be allowed. Radioactive waste may be stored in solid, liquid or gaseous form or as raw, pretreated, treated or conditioned waste. The intention of storage is that the waste will be retrieved for authorized discharge, authorized use or clearance or for processing and/or disposal at a later time. The criteria for acceptance of waste packages in a storage facility shall therefore take account of the known or likely requirements for subsequent radioactive waste disposal. Safety requirements for the protection of human health and the environment shall be met by appropriate design, construction, operation and maintenance of the respective facilities, including provision for the eventual retrieval of the waste.
There are many reasons why it may be appropriate to store radioactive waste for varying periods of time. The following three examples usually encountered at small storage facilities for radioactive waste, where storage is incidental to the primary purpose of the facility:
To allow for the decay of short lived radionuclides to a level at which the radioactive waste can be released from regulatory control (clearance) or authorized for discharge, or recycling and reuse;
To collect and accumulate a sufficient amount of radioactive waste prior to its transfer to another facility for treatment and conditioning; and
To collect and accumulate a sufficient amount of radioactive waste prior to its disposal.
Whereas the following two examples are usually associated with larger storage facilities undertaking the treatment and storage of waste from nuclear fuel cycle facilities and from centralized facilities at which the waste from many small users of radioactive sources is collected and processed:
To reduce the heat generation rate of high level radioactive waste prior to its disposal and, in some cases, prior to steps in its predisposal management; and
To provide long term storage of radioactive waste in those States lacking a suitable disposal facility.
The period of storage may be highly variable and may be only a few days, weeks or months in the case of storage for decay or storage prior to the transfer of waste to another facility. Extended storage periods of many years may be necessary in the case of the storage of high level waste for cooling or for the long term storage of radioactive waste for which there is no disposal option yet available. The storage facility may be located at the facility generating the waste, such as a nuclear power plant, a hospital or a laboratory, or it may comprise a separate entity such as a centralized facility or a national treatment and storage facility. Storage facilities can range from secured cabinets and closets at laboratories up to large facilities built for serving a nuclear power plant.
1. SMALL STORAGE FACILITIES:
Small inventories of radioactive waste comprising radionuclides with relatively short half-lives are typically handled at small waste storage facilities. Simple waste treatment activities such as low force compaction may also be carried out at small waste storage facilities. In addition, sealed sources of various types may be handled at small waste storage facilities.
Some types of radioactive waste may be stored for periods specifically to allow the radioactivity of the waste to decay to levels that permit its authorized discharge or removal from regulatory control (i.e. clearance). Storage may also be necessary for operational reasons, for example, to accommodate the off-site transfer of waste to a waste treatment facility at specified time intervals.
The storage of waste in centralized facilities rather than in a multitude of on-site facilities should be considered, since there will be opportunities to adopt more stringent safety standards and at the same time to realize economies of scale.
For most small waste storage facilities, simple design features together with correspondingly simple operating procedures will be appropriate. The stored radioactive waste should be characterized (e.g. by radionuclide type, inventory, activity concentration, half-life and the physical, chemical and pathogenic properties of the waste) and the results should be documented in an inventory log. If pathogenic radioactive waste is to be stored, it should be deactivated before its placement in storage. All waste packages and their documentation should be identified with a unique code for the purposes of tracking. In most cases a simple indelible weather resistant tag and logbook will be sufficient. Where biomedical radioactive waste is produced in large volumes, it should be considered whether a separate storage area for biomedical radioactive waste is necessary. Waste that is to be shipped to a centralized waste management facility should be packaged in accordance with the waste acceptance criteria of the receiving facility.
Radioactive waste should be packaged in such a manner that it is not accessible to pests such as insects or rodents as they can present a serious threat to its containment. This is particularly relevant for the storage of biohazardous radioactive waste or where waste may be stored in plastic bags.
1.1 Operation of Small Storage Facilities:
1.1.1 General Operational Considerations:
The operational activities of a small storage facility for radioactive waste should be described in and carried out in accordance with facility specific procedures. The operational activities may include: receipt, storage and retrieval of waste; labeling of waste packages; inventory control; package inspection; radiation protection; monitoring and surveillance; record keeping; and preparation of waste packages for dispatch to another facility. The scope and level of detail of the procedures should be commensurate with the radioactive inventory, the associated hazards and the extent of the storage activities. The procedures should be such as to ensure compliance with the operational limits and conditions approved by the regulatory body.
1.1.2 Radiation Monitoring:
Radiation monitoring should be conducted routinely to determine the external radiation levels and surface contamination levels inside the waste storage facility, along the boundaries of the storage facility and on the surface of waste packages. In facilities where loose waste is compacted and repackaged for storage or transport, monitoring for airborne contamination may be appropriate.
In storage facilities where there is a potential for surface contamination, fixed or portable instruments for detecting external contamination on workers should be provided at exit points from the area.
Monitoring instruments should be periodically tested and calibrated. The energy response and the measurement range of the instruments should be appropriate for the radionuclide composition of the waste and the expected ranges of radiation levels and contamination levels.
1.1.3 Radiation Protection:
A radiation protection programme should be developed as part of the application to the regulatory body for authorization.
The operation of most small storage facilities for radioactive waste will require only a very simple and limited programme of periodic maintenance, testing and inspection (this could be as simple as checking the effectiveness of the locks at the facility). The maintenance, testing and inspection records should be subject to periodic review.
1.1.4 Security
Owing to the limited waste inventory and low hazard levels encountered in most small storage facilities for radioactive waste, the measures for security and access control may consist simply of a locked door or cabinet (e.g. a locked storage area with authorized key holders and an access log). However, security for disused sealed sources of high activity may require additional consideration.
1.1.5 Decommissioning:
Decommissioning involves the removal of all stored waste, followed by a survey to determine the residual surface contamination levels and external radiation levels. The facility may require decontamination and the removal of contaminated materials and equipment.
2. LARGE STORAGE FACILITIES:
A large storage facility for radioactive waste may receive a wide variety of waste types from a number of different origins. The design and operation of a large waste storage facility should be commensurate with the potential hazards associated with it.
A tracking system for waste packages should be developed and maintained. For large waste storage facilities, the use of a computerized system for tracking packages should be considered. A storage plan that shows the configuration of the emplaced waste packages, including the zoning for the level of hazards, should be prepared and maintained.
Procedures should be developed for the safe operation of a large waste storage facility. The extent and the degree of detail of specific procedures should be commensurate with the safety significance of the particular subject of the procedures and should cover, where applicable:
Operations, including all necessary limits and conditions;
Commissioning;
The management system;
Maintenance, inspection and testing;
Training;
Modifications made during design, construction, commissioning and operation;
Recording, reporting and investigation of events;
Radiation protection and safety performance;
Contingency and emergency arrangements;
Safeguards;
Security measures;
Control of radioactive discharges to the environment; and
Acceptance criteria for waste packages.
2.1 Operation of Large Storage Facilities:
Typical operational activities associated with waste storage are the routine operations of receipt, processing, emplacement, storage and retrieval of waste packages and their preparation for disposal. Supporting activities include: radiation protection; monitoring and surveillance; testing and examination of waste packages; inspection of the components of the storage facility; maintenance and repair; labeling of waste packages and record keeping.
Storage facilities should be operated in accordance with written procedures. These procedures should be such as to ensure compliance with the operational limits and conditions approved for the storage facility by the regulatory body.
Modification of the storage conditions should be subject to specific plans and procedures and accompanied by appropriate authorizations from the regulatory body. The impact of any modifications on the safety of the stored waste should be considered in each case. Operational practices and administrative controls appropriate to the level of hazard should be applied. Examples of these include:
The use of pre-work assessments and training mock-ups to minimize exposure during operation and maintenance activities;
The application of remote handling technologies for operation and maintenance;
Establishment of contamination controls when items are transferred or removed from areas of higher contamination to areas of lower contamination; and
Appropriate planning for, and careful conduct of, storage activities so as to minimize exposure during operation and maintenance activities.
A system for tracking waste packages should be developed and maintained. For large storage facilities, a computerized system for tracking waste packages should be considered. Where practicable, a detailed storage plan showing the configuration of the emplaced waste packages, including the zoning for the level of hazards, should be prepared and maintained. 2.1.2 Operational Limits and Conditions:
Storage facilities should be operated in accordance with a set of operational limits and conditions that are derived from the safety assessment of the facility to identify the safe boundaries of operation. Operational limits and conditions set out specifications relating to waste packages, safety systems and procedures, radiological criteria and requirements for personnel. Operational limits and conditions for storage facilities should be developed by the operator and should be subject to approval by the regulatory body. Operational limits and conditions should be revised as necessary in the light of experience from commissioning and operation, modifications made to the facility and changes in safety standards. Reference [31] provides guidance for the development and implementation of operational limits and conditions for nuclear power plants; much of this guidance is applicable to storage facilities for radioactive waste.
The risks posed by the waste and the conditions of its storage should be taken into consideration in determining the operational limits and conditions. The operational limits and conditions will be specific to each storage facility. The operator may wish to set administrative margins below the specified limits as an operational target to remain within the operational limits and conditions.
Operational limits and conditions for the storage of waste should include, as appropriate:
Specifications for waste packages (waste form, radionuclide content and container characteristics) consistent with the waste acceptance criteria for the storage facility;
Concentration limits for liquid waste, e.g. to prevent the precipitation of solids;
Requirements for safety systems, e.g. requirements for ventilation, heat removal, tank agitation and radiation monitoring, including requirements for the availability of these features in normal and abnormal conditions;
Periodic testing of equipment, especially backup systems that need to be available in emergency conditions;
Maximum radiation dose rates, especially on container surfaces;
Maximum levels of surface contamination for containers;
Requirements for training and qualification of personnel and minimum staffing levels; and
Limits on the cumulative radionuclide inventory.
The initial operational limits and conditions should normally be developed in cooperation with the facility designers well before the commencement of operation to ensure that adequate time is available for their assessment by the regulatory body. 2.1.3 Operational Procedures:
Procedures should be developed for managing and operating the storage facility under normal conditions, in incidents and under postulated accident conditions. Responsibilities for the approval of any necessary deviations from procedures for operational reasons should be clearly defined. Any deviation from the approved operational procedures should be justified and its implications for safety should be determined.
In accordance with the management system, arrangements should be in place for the review and approval of operating procedures and for the communication to operating personnel of any revisions. Periodic reviews should be undertaken to take account of operational experience. Any revisions should be adopted only after they have been reviewed to ensure compliance with operational limits and conditions, approved by authorized persons and documented.
The objectives of the radiation protection programme are to ensure that the radiation doses to workers and to members of the public arising from the normal operation and the possible abnormal operation of the storage facility do not exceed regulatory limits and that radiation protection is optimized. Releases of radioactive material to the environment should also be controlled in accordance with the requirements of the regulatory body.
Additional procedures for radiation protection may be necessary for application to non-routine activities for waste storage, such as the movement of waste through passages and areas commonly used by personnel, the handling of packages with undocumented characteristics and the purging of areas where ventilation is intermittent. Radiation dose rates should be specified for waste packages, shielding surfaces and other locations and radiation levels should be monitored at intervals sufficient to alert the operator to any changes due, for example, to the unexpected and undetected buildup of radioactive material or the degradation of shielding.
2.1.5 Maintenance, Testing and Inspection:
Before the start of operations, the operator should prepare a programme of periodic maintenance, testing and inspection of systems that are essential to safe operation. The need for maintenance, testing and inspection should be addressed from the design stage. Non-intrusive testing and inspection that incorporates the diagnostic assessment of performance as part of normal in service activities is to be preferred. Testing and inspection should establish and verify correct function, performance and conditions against acceptance criteria.
The programme should be periodically reviewed with account taken of operational experience. Systems and components that should be considered for periodic maintenance, testing and inspection may include:
Waste containment systems, including tanks and other containers;
Waste handling systems, including pumps and valves;
Heating and/or cooling systems;
Radiation monitoring systems;
Calibration of instruments;
Ventilation systems;
Normal and standby systems for electrical power supply;
Utilities and auxiliary systems such as systems for water, gas and compressed air;
The system for physical protection;
Building structures and radiation shielding; and
Fire protection systems.
The frequency of maintenance, testing and inspection should be such as to ensure that the reliability of equipment remains high and that the effectiveness of systems remains in accordance with the design intent for the facility. The reliability of systems should not be significantly affected by the frequency of testing.
Suitably qualified, trained and experienced personnel should be deployed in the approval and implementation of the maintenance, testing and inspection programme and in the approval of associated procedures. Test procedures should normally include test acceptance criteria.
Records should be kept of activities for maintenance, testing and inspection. These records should be subject to periodic review to establish trends in system performance, the reliability of components in the system and the effectiveness of the maintenance programme. The reviews should include the identification of appropriate corrective measures.
2.1.6 Security and Access Control:
Access to areas in which waste is stored should be controlled to ensure safety and the physical protection of materials. In meeting operational requirements to control access, a zoned approach, working inwards towards areas having more stringent controls, may be applied. There should be provisions for detecting any unauthorized intrusion and for taking countermeasures promptly.
3. INTERIM STORAGE OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE PACKAGES:
Conditioning of radioactive waste involves those operations that transform radioactive waste into a form suitable for handling, transport and disposal. However, if for some reason disposal of waste packages cannot be made immediately after conditioning (e.g. if a disposal facility is not available or if radioactivity in waste packages must decay to lower levels), interim storage of waste packages is required and must be arranged in such a way as to ensure the integrity of radioactive waste packages and their suitability for further disposal after retrieval from a storage facility. Storage is an integral part of the waste management process. While the storage of conditioned waste is normally described as interim storage, for some countries this will probably be fairly long term, even to the point of de facto disposal. Somewhere between ten and fifty years will most likely be required for storage until a repository can be constructed and licensed, or until radioactivity has decayed to a sufficiently low level for disposal as cleared waste.
Radioactive waste may exist in several forms when it passes through the treatment and conditioning processes. It may exist sequentially as raw, treated, immobilized and fully conditioned waste. While in storage it should be expected to retain its form and suitability for transport and disposal for up to 50 years without subsequent reconditioning. This is accomplished through the interaction of three sets of criteria:
The waste acceptance criteria (WAC);
The waste form and container specifications; and
The design and operating requirements of the storage facility.
The operations to be carried out in a storage facility will be limited to receipt, emplacement, integrity control (if required), retrieval, and preparation for dispatch of waste packages. The interim storage operations are essentially passive for the long period of time when waste packages are pending retrieval (most probably in bulk) until the repository facility is established. All operations concerned with storage must be carried out within the written authorized procedures. 3.1 Receipt and Emplacement:
The waste receipts should be programmed in advance. The store manager must examine the information to confirm that the waste package is acceptable for storage (e.g. correct packaging standard, radiation levels within limits). If the package is unacceptable, the details are to be recorded and the documents returned to the consignor with an explanation or a request for further information. Package acceptance qualification conditions should include, but not be limited to: maximum allowable weight per package; mechanical resistance for the stacking of packages; satisfactory corrosion resistance of the container material; sufficient resistance to a standard fire test; and no loss of integrity after a drop test from a height related to the package transport condition. The above tests are designed to confirm the adequacy of the standard packaging design and should be performed occasionally during waste package production.
In the case of external contamination, the package must be decontaminated and rechecked before interim storage is authorized.
On acceptance, the equipment required for transport of the waste package to the store should be selected, and the store operator should proceed with this equipment and prepare the appropriate documentation to store the waste. The operator must be trained in the appropriate methods of radiological protection and in the use of radiation protective equipment if needed during handling of the waste package. At the store, a suitable location for the waste package should be identified and the location details recorded. The waste package would be placed in the chosen location. Segregation of waste types is desirable to facilitate a planned retrieval for further treatment or any unplanned retrieval that is revealed as necessary by periodic inspections for possible degradation of waste containers, and in case there are categories of waste to be placed eventually in particular repository locations.
The information provided by the consignor and the storage location of the package are incorporated in the central store records.
3.2 Integrity Control:
Adequate conditions for safe storage of waste packages should be maintained during the storage phase to avoid deterioration. Proper radiation protection measures must be applied to ensure that exposure to workers and the public is kept as low as reasonably achievable and that there is no contamination of the store or the waste packages. Monitoring should be undertaken to ensure that contamination has not occurred. The frequency of the monitoring will depend upon the quantity and type of the waste packages.
The records of the store inventory should be kept up to date, and the store contents periodically checked against the records.
3.3 Retrieval and Dispatch:
Following receipt of a request to retrieve a package from storage, the store manager should obtain the details of the particular waste package from the store's records and pass them to the appropriate party. If the details are in order the package may be accepted for removal from the storage facility. Once the store manager has authorized the release of the waste package, it is retrieved from the store and taken to the dispatch area. Here, the package should be monitored for radiation levels before it is released. The details of the waste package will be transferred to the transport records and the waste packaged for transport in accordance with the requirements of the transport regulations. The package storage records should be amended to record the date of dispatch and the receiving party.
Here are some recommendations for the interim storage facilities articulated by the IAEA:
It is recommended that interim storage facilities should not accept any new waste that is not adequately characterized. Every package must comply with the acceptance requirements of the storage facility;
Non-immobilized wastes emplaced in containers for storage should be segregated in the storage facility to the extent practical. The packages should also be segregated by waste type and storage duration;
Facilities for the storage of waste should have a design life that is independent of the emplaced packages;
The safety assessment should support the suitability of the facility for the duration of its intended use. Storage of low contact dose rate Low Intermediate Level Waste (LILW) should allow for visual inspection of packages. For prolonged storage it should be recognized that surveillance requirements may need to be modified during the period of storage. For the storage of high contact dose rate LILW, High Level Waste (HLW), and spent fuel, indirect controls may be put in place to inform the operators in the event of a failure;
If the waste is characterized and conditioned properly within an adequate quality assurance programme, failure of the package is not expected. But in the event of package failure, for any reason, provisions for retrieval of a package must exist in the storage facility; and
Packages might be damaged if they fall during handling in a storage facility, and in that case the storage facility must provide for retrieval of the package as well as decontamination of the area, if necessary. If a package failure occurs during storage owing to the waste form or a widespread external corrosion of the container, then further action to eliminate the hazard for all packages of the same type should be evaluated. Packages that fail during storage and cannot be retrieved and remediated should be isolated in place, whenever possible, to protect personnel, the environment and neighbouring waste packages from contamination.
4. LONG TERM STORAGE OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE:
The period of storage may be highly variable and may be only a few days, weeks or months in the case of storage for decay or storage prior to the transfer of waste to another facility. Extended storage periods of many years may be necessary in the case of the storage of high level waste for cooling or for the long term storage of radioactive waste for which there is no disposal option yet available.
Prior to the authorization of a facility for the storage of radioactive waste, the operator should provide the regulatory body with plans for the long term management of the radioactive waste being stored. The public, especially communities located near the storage facility, should be informed of these plans.
Long term storage of radioactive waste refers to situations in which waste is stored for periods that exceed the original design life of the containers and storage facilities, for example, owing to the disposal of the waste being delayed or postponed. Long term storage can also refer to situations in which the waste packages and storage facility are designed for relatively long periods of storage (e.g. 100 years).
Additional technical considerations for long term storage of waste are:
Engineered systems, facilities and institutional controls should be more robust or should be more actively maintained. If possible, passive safety features should be used;
Information should be retained in a readable and understandable form for future generations. For long periods of time, the deterioration of records (whether material or electronic) will be more significant; and
Inadvertent or deliberate intrusion into waste storage facilities may be more likely over longer time periods and intrusion should be considered in the safety assessment.
For storage beyond the original intended period of storage, the design life of the storage facility and that of the waste packages may be exceeded. This should prompt a re-evaluation of the storage strategy, which may include a re-evaluation of the initial design, operations, the safety assessment and other aspects of the waste storage facility.
For storage beyond the original intended period, testing, examination or evaluation may be necessary to assess the integrity of waste packages. Potential problems with waste packages should be considered in advance of the need for physical action (such as overpacking or placing the waste into new waste packages). In some cases it may be justified to move waste packages into a more robust storage facility rather than to overpack or replace them.
For unanticipated long term storage, consideration should be given to mitigation of the consequences of potential changes in the stored radioactive waste. Changes in the stored waste may include:
The generation of hazardous gases caused by chemical and radio lytic effects (e.g. the generation of hydrogen gas by radiolysis) and the buildup of overpressure;
The generation of combustible or corrosive substances;
The corrosion of metals (e.g. carbon steel); and
Degradation of the waste form.
These considerations are especially important for long term storage for which small effects may accumulate over long periods of time. Uncertainties in parameters and models should be considered in analytical approaches used to evaluate processes over long periods of time.

Flowers... made from a very out-of-date road atlas. Stems yet to be attached.
I love making these - it's repetitive and absorbing and therapeutic. I made some last year from book pages but I have a thing for maps and atlases. There's a big printed map of Nantucket propped against the bedroom wall which I bought as a memento from the Whaling Museum and is now beautifully framed. And the other day I was at a friend's house and spotted a very covetable geological map of the British Isles.
I stash more atlas/globe projects on one of my Pinterest pages - for future reference. I suspect no map which now comes into my possession will be safe.
Linking in with Lou's Nature in the Home series... This week's theme: green. I went and had a look around the florist's shop today as I'm partial to eucalyptus and most grey/blue-toned foliage. But I also love acid and lime greens too, and the euphorbia in the shady bed catches my eye each time I walk past it.
Just one little stem, carefully snipped and handled (apparently it can irritate the skin). I popped it in an old bottle I once used for mixing flower remedies - quite apt really.
It puts some zing into an otherwise gloomy day.
Then a walk through the woods.
Where we found some unexpected allotments in a little clearing.
Wild garlic is everywhere in these parts.
In Irwell Vale, preparations had been made for a Forties tea dance later in the afternoon.
We stopped for a snack and were surrounded by women in fur stoles and red lipstick, and little pillbox hats. They looked quite formidable actually. Like members of some committee or other.
Meanwhile, the chickens on the village green were taking a dust bath.
We met some friendly ponies - sadly, I didn't have any mints about my person. So they soon lost interest and went back to dozing in the sun.
I think the whole thing really gets going tomorrow - steam trains, a wartime-themed wedding, the usual unintentionally funny battle re-enactment. We just took a long walk instead and spotted a few details here and there. I'm not really a crowds type of person.
Tomorrow: a day of pottering. Perfect.
For someone who doesn't class themselves as a 'pink person', I sure do seem to have a lot of it in the house lately - like this fabric (on the line after being washed to avoid shrinkage issues later on).
Jay bought me a bunch of alstromeria. When I was a florist (a very long time ago) we used to buy it in from a man who grew it locally, in Cheshire.
I like the markings. And alstro always last for ages too.
The yarn was another bargain. I'm going to try and make Christmas gifts this year rather than buying them. It's a bit of an undertaking but I'm up for a challenge. The colours in this made me think of someone in particular so I've started knitting (I know it's only May but making things takes time).
Pink, red and green seem to be my favourite colour combination at the moment. Who'd have thought?
They're probably best known locally for their pick-your-own strawberries, but right now the plants are a bit small. No fruit yet.
We saw some free-range chickens with their own orchard. And I can vouch for the eggs - the yolks are very yellow.
The sweet rocket appealed - I love the colours (ditto the geranium with the deep purple flowers).
And I can't wait to take a certain someone strawberry picking next month.
On Saturday (after opening my cards and presents in bed, much to Joe's delight) we went over to West Yorkshire to one of my very favourite places: Hebden Bridge. The drive across the moors was very... atmospheric.
Wuthering, even. And the water from the reservoir came right up to the road. It looked a bit choppy.
We were dressed for the drizzle though. And even in the murky weather Hebden's still lovely.
It's a very arty place - lots of independent shops and community things going on. I liked the new wall art depicting the South Pennines - and my hometown.
And a big cup of Earl Grey.
I love going in there. You can sit and watch people going past the windows.
And that shop opposite is where I spent my birthday money. Talk about in one hand and straight out of the other.
When you live in the North West, precipitation is just a fact of life.
And quite possibly the most optimistic ice cream vendor ever.

JAI SOL
"What the camera see's, the edit we see and our perception of that sight are three separate things." Jai Sol.
What are the latest headlines? What do they tell you about events that are happening right now?
Do you believe that all the facts are given to you in that report?
Conspiracy theorists believe that the truth is often concealed, twisted, or changed to suit another purpose. Perhaps to protect the public from the reality.
Perhaps to make you believe a story that's more convenient for those who tell it. It seems that with the internet, the rise in availability of information, has aroused the interests of those who seek to question our reality.
There have been multiple periods in history where the reporting of events have been questioned, the moon landing being one of the most frequently challenged. This questioning has been labelled as conspiracy theory, but what is a conspiracy theorist? A nut case? A non conformist? Or perhaps, a researcher with an alternative opinion based on gathered evidence. It seems that this question is unlikely to be answered so easily, as the term has become almost derogatory, if it is seen as negative to believe in conspiracy theories, then surely less people will be open to the suggestions they make.
An alternative question may be, to ask when it become normal practice to question the reports of global news and events. Due to the increase in outlets, such as television channels, blogs and websites devoted to providing alternative information, the curious have been allowed to explore, and to wonder which source should be believed.
If covert evidence exists that can alter the perception of an event, it seems it was not presented originally, thus preventing the public from making a more informed decision.It could be that it is now the responsibility of this public to seek out the truth, without the possible bias of those who wish to obscure certain facts. We are led to believe that the media exists to provide factual information, but if it is the case that they are obscuring details due to a hidden agenda, it becomes difficult to identify which source has the more reliable information.
In 1963 President JF Kennedy was assassinated, this we know as fact. There have been multiple claims regarding who the killer was and why JFK was targetted. The complete files containing details of the event, were kept secret by White House agencies until October 2017 when a large number of them were released. However, some were kept secret, as it was claimed that their contents could pose a threat to national security. If the suggestion is accurate, that Lee Harvey Oswald was a disturbed member of the public, who acted alone, it seems absurd that by releasing all of the gathered evidence on the case, the nation's security could suffer.
Therefore, this leads to the question of what is being hidden and why, which in turn adds fuel to the conspiracy theory that the government were somehow involved, if not directly culpable.
Do conspiracy theories raise important questions, or are they founded in frustration, due to the lack of reliable facts regarding events that the public believe they have the right to know about? It is possible that the information we are presented with, has been tampered with in order to persuade us of stories that portray a more beneficial image for those who are reporting them. Media bias has been established in a number of minor cases, so it is plausible that every official source is open to manipulating the truth if instructed to do so.
Text can deliver any message desired, but what if we saw the reports live, looked at the pictures. Surely a picture or a video can't lie.
Green screen is a visual aid used in adverts and movies to provide an illusion, from dinosaurs, to explosions, anyone who has watched an action movie or seen a weather report has witnessed green screen, but we question whether the use of these special effects has been limited to entertainment, or whether there is even a possibility that it could be used to create news reports.
The collection Green Screen uses the idea of conspiracies to portray a number of events, as if they were being manipulated to create an alternative version of those events. Some are widely considered conspiracy theories, others are lesser known, but each are open to further research, should the viewer be interested in considering other possibilities.

Skellig Islands is popular tourist attractions in Ireland which has magnificient view throughout all history and beyond.
Located almost 8 miles off the West Kerry coast, is one of the most mysterious attractions in the Kerry area, Ireland. The Skellig Islands from a distance they look like floating pyramids of sandstone. ImageUp close they look rugged and uninviting. After a cold and often rough boat trip, there are almost seven hundred steep steps to greet you on your arrival. The tiring climb up the steps is not for the faint hearted.
The earliest reference in history to the Skellig Islands dates back to 1400BC. During the time of the Penal Laws, Skellig Michael and Little Skellig became a haven for many Catholics whose beliefs and rights were being suppressed. The largest of the Skelligs is Skellig Michael (Sceilg Mhichil) and was home to one of the earliest monastic settlements in Ireland.
There is a fantastic wealth of bird life on and around the Skelligs, especially puffins in late spring and gannets on the small Skellig where 23,000 pairs nest on every available ledge making it the second largest gannet colony in the world.
There are many things that you can do in Skellig Island, it is a fair climb to the monastery from the pier where the boats land. The current landing site was built in 1820; the site the monks used is no longer in use. You can still see the massive stairway the monks built back then. On the climb up you can get the most breathtaking views of Kenmare Bay, Ballinskelligs Bay and in the distance the Dingle peninsula. There are numerous small companies that can organise a boat trip for you. You can start of in Caherdaniel, Waterville, Valentia, Portmagee and Caherciveen.

Photos: All that happened in Sri Lanka on big day of protests
On the island's most chaotic day in months, protesters storm president's residence and set PM's home on fire in rage over the economic crisis.

Outrage over Sri Lanka's collapsing economy came to a boil on Saturday when tens of thousands of protesters stormed the colonial-era residence of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and later set the prime minister's house on fire.
The protesters, many holding the Sri Lankan flag, swarmed into Rajapaksa's colonial-era fortified residence and the presidential secretariat.
Video images showed jubilant crowds splashing in the garden pool, lying on beds and using their mobile phone cameras to capture the moment.
Some made tea, while others issued statements from a conference room demanding that the president and the prime minister go for mismanaging the nation's finances, and for the crippling food and fuel shortages.
The protesters later broke into Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe's private residence and set it on fire.
Rajapaksa and Wickremesinghe were not in their residences when the buildings were attacked.
The events on Saturday were the culmination of months of anti-government protests fuelled by an unprecedented economic crisis that bankrupted the South Asian island nation.
Security forces attempted to disperse the huge crowds that had mobbed Colombo's administrative district earlier in the day, with dozens injured in the resulting clashes.
A spokeswoman for Colombo's main hospital said three people were being treated for gunshot wounds, along with 36 others suffering breathing difficulties after being caught up in tear gas barrages.
Wickremesinghe announced his resignation but said he would not step down until a new government is formed, angering protesters who demanded his immediate departure.
Sri Lanka has suffered through months of shortages of basic goods, lengthy blackouts and galloping inflation after running out of foreign currency to import necessities.
The government has defaulted on its $51bn external debt and is seeking an International Monetary Fund bailout.
