Chandler-Alvarez II Draws Record Ratings For Bellator
By FCF Staff
Many industry insiders believed this past Saturday's Chandler-Alvarez II card would, or at least should, draw big ratings for SPIKE, and according to a press release from the network that was the case.
SPIKE has announced that the November 2nd, Bellator event delivered 1.1 million viewers from 9:00pm to 12:45am, and peaked at 1.4 million shortly after 11:00PM. The network's statement also relays that the broadcast "reached its high mark with Men 18-49 with a 1.1 rating for the Alvarez-Chandler bout. The telecast also ranked #2 in cable in its timeslot with Men 18-49."
As a result of the ratings, the card was "the most-watched in Bellator event history and the most watched mixed martial arts show on television this fall."
The event, which was hosted by the Long Beach Convention Center, also featured Daniel Straus defeating Pat Curran by decision for the featherweight belt, and Emanuel Newton earning a UD victory over "King Mo" Lawal for the interim light-heavyweight title.
In the thrilling headliner, Alvarez avenged his 2011 submission loss to Chandler by scoring a split decision victory. SPIKE has announced that it will replay the bout this Friday at 8:00 PM, prior to the live Bellator 107 broadcast.

Inspired by a wonderful day and the generosity of my sweet husband and kiddos, I am sharing the love! Over the next week, I'm going to post pictures in a Facebook album on my "Rebecca Berra Photography" page of all the children from my archive (both personal snaps and professional portraits - yes, there is a difference!!) from the last year, to give their mothers the chance to win a prize! Anyone (in the USA or UK) can enter, by sending me a picture of their child. I'll post all the pictures in the album this week.
Ask all your friends to "like" the picture of your child in order to win! By the end of the day on Sunday May 22nd, whichever picture has the most "likes" is the winner!
Winner's choice of a Solo Session, here in Colorado, or a photo box (pretty box for keeping prints in) or an 8"x10" gallery wrapped canvas of any of my pictures of you / your family / fine art photography. Hooray!
- Voting is not for the best quality photo, or the cutest kid (they're all beautiful!), just for whichever mom you feel deserves a freebie!
- The winners will be the mothers of the kid(s) in the 3 pictures with the most "likes".
- PLEASE make sure your friends click on your picture to "like" it! Any "likes" on your personal page or on the album in general won't count. ONLY the likes under your picture on the Rebecca Berra Photography page will count!
- Comments don't count as votes (although, they are always welcome!). Purely the number of "likes" on each picture will determine the winners.
- Because I don't intend to stay up til midnight (I value my precious sleep!!), voting officially closes at 09:00 on Monday May 23rd. At that point, the picture with the most "likes" will determine the winner.
- Please let me know WHO took the picture: preferably, you (Mom) or Dad!
- The prize will be a Solo session here in Colorado (value $150) or an 8"x10" gallery wrapped canvas of any of my pictures of you / your family / fine art photography or a photo box featuring any of my pictures of you / your family / fine art photography. Winner's choice of the three, then second place choice, then third place get the remaining prize. Prize to be claimed by Mother's Day 2012. Prize cannot be exchanged for cash.
- Prize may be upgraded, by paying the difference between whatever upgrade the winner chooses and the free prize. E.g. the Solo session could be upgraded to a Family Session by paying the difference between the two. The canvas can be upgraded to a bigger size by paying the difference between the two sizes.
- Anyone in USA or UK can enter. Solo session must be in Colorado, but the canvas and photo box can be mailed anywhere in USA or UK.
- There's no age limit for the "children" in the pictures!


Asdrubal Cabrera was bunting on his own.
But what might have seemed like a good idea turned into disaster for the veteran infielder, who popped up the bunt in Wednesday's eighth inning and watched reliever Richard Bleier turn an easy double play in the Mets' 1-0 loss to the Orioles at Citi Field.
The lefty Bleier caught the popup and nailed Brandon Nimmo, who ran from first to second base on the play.
Nimmo had singled leading off the inning, and Cabrera had the option to bunt or swing away, according to manager Mickey Callaway.
"I saw the third baseman playing way back and I just tried to put the ball on the line," Cabrera said.
Callaway, who in recent days has preached a change in approach at the plate if necessary, said he was fine with Cabrera's decision.
Jeurys Familia was summoned to pitch the eighth inning in a scoreless game because Callaway wanted his closer facing the top of the Orioles' batting order. Pedro Alvarez singled off Amed Rosario's glove and Adam Jones delivered a single in the inning before Manny Machado's sacrifice fly brought in the game's only run.
The Mets claimed left-handed pitcher P.J. Conlon off waivers from the Dodgers and assigned him to Triple-A Las Vegas. Conlon had been designated for assignment by the Mets last week. To clear space on the 40-man roster for Conlon's return, Phillip Evans was designated for assignment.
Zack Wheeler singled in the fifth inning and is 6-for-21 (.286) at the plate this season.
The Mets' 1-0 loss was their first since Sept. 14, 2016, at Washington. Overall, the Mets are 131-119 in franchise history in 1-0 games.


As part of activities to observe the second Kaneshie Area Week, the Israel District of The Church of Pentecost organised a Marriage and Family Life Summit at the Peace Assembly church auditorium.
The event, which was held from June 18 to 24, 2018, was under the theme: "My Marriage, My Family, O Lord". The summit was organised to address the growing concerns of family and marital issues in the contemporary world.
Speaking at the summit, the Israel District Minister, Pastor Emmanuel Kwasi Appiah indicated that marriage is the first institution of God and one of His priorities and as such, it should be honoured and kept as sacred. As a result, he added, only those who are mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically prepared for it should consider being a part of it.
Quoting from 1 Timothy 5:8 and Hebrews 13:4-5, Pastor Appiah noted that a lot of Christian couples are depressed, frustrated and living with regret due to marital challenges.
According to him, "one of the greatest indoor enemies that bring about various predicaments in marriage is anger". He explained that uncontrolled anger in marriage has led to divorce, aggression, violence, evil thoughts, jealousy, loss of confidence, curses, all kinds of abuse, shameful acts and use of filthy words against each other. He mentioned divorce, suicide and loss of the righteousness of God (James 1:19-22) as the three most dangerous effects of marriage.
He, therefore, challenged Christians to get rid of anger and become good examples of Christ by learning to control their temper, forgetting past issues, tolerating each other's view, accommodating "nonsense", and forgiving one another.
Among the topics treated at the summit were: "Contracting Marriage in the CoP", "Divorce, Broken Home & Law", "Handling A Difficult Marriage", "Marriage Covenant & Its Challenges", "Family Planning", "Good Parenting & Child Care", "Causes of Marital Disputes & Its Remedies", and "Celebrating the Institution of Marriage in God's Way".
Other speakers at the week-long event include Deaconess Rita Yedu, Elder Geoffrey Arthur, Elder Peter Okyere, Mrs Vivian Appiah, Deaconess Lydia Adjabeng, and Deacon Derek Y. Gyamfi (Esq.).


Do you use an eye mask when you sleep? We do! My girls have different ones that they like to use like a panda, a llama, a cat and of course a unicorn. Sometimes they use them as blindfolds when they play games and make up challenges. We thought it would be fun to make a few for our dolls that matched their pajamas, room themes and/or bedding. Coordinating doll items is so much fun. Unicorns are really popular so that's the one we crafted on camera! You can always use the same idea and make different variations. I created the mask template from scratch, just sketching out the outline on the felt. If you have any doll eye masks on hand you can trace them and create your own template to use over and over again! If not, sketch your own on a piece of paper with a pencil and adjust until you like the shape and size. You can fold the paper in half, sketch the eye mask, then cut while the paper is still folded. This will ensure that both sides are the same.
You may notice that in this video I did not do a voiceover. You will be seeing a lot more DIY videos without me talking in them. Don't worry! The videos I make always show the steps and if you are ever unsure of a step or material that I used, please come here to the blog. If you read the post you will most likely find the answer to your question. If not, leave a comment!
I show two unicorn masks in the video. One set of sleep eyes was done with puffy paint, the other I cut from felt. I like the felt look a tad more, but it is a little more difficult because you are cutting a tiny piece of felt.
Tip: If you don't have elastic on hand or don't want to buy any, start saving the elastics from packages. Most shoes and flip flops come with an elastic band holding them together. Instead of clipping it and tossing it, untie and save for a future craft!
Watch and tell us what other sleep masks your doll would like to wear! Pig? Panda?
I love your art! Please take a look at my stuff too if you want!
so who won the OG giveaway????
i couldn't figure out,please tell.
and this craft is really cute!
Sooo cute! How big do you cut the mask part out?
Adorable, Rudy😍 Also i do have a question. How big do you cut the mask? I think I am going to make a x- mas sleep mask. Thank you!
Cute!!! Can you please make Propel? Thanks!!!
would you please do some more christmas stuff?
and do a Christmas giveaway too!!!

PRESS RELEASE Press Release No. HQ/G/13/2002
UN: "END THE HORROR IN THE CAMPS"
Gaza – April 7, 2002
Mr Peter Hansen, Commissioner General of UNRWA, the United Nation's Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, has called on the Israeli military to cease its bloody assault on Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank.
Mr Hansen said: "The Israeli Defence Force has made a hellish battleground among the civilians in the Balata and Jenin refugee camps. We are getting reports of pure horror – that helicopters are strafing civilian residential areas; that systematic shelling by tanks has created hundreds of wounded; that bulldozers are razing refugee homes to the ground and that food and medicine will soon run out. In the name of human decency the Israeli military must allow our ambulances safe passage to help evacuate the wounded and deliver emergency supplies of medicines and food."
"Israel is a signatory to international conventions that protect non-combatants in times of conflict. Those conventions are worthless if they are not adhered to precisely at times of the greatest blood-letting. The world is watching and Israel needs to end this pitiless assault on civilian refugee camps."
UNRWA's ambulances and food trucks have been repeatedly refused access to the West Bank camps over the past three days but stand ready to move immediately the moment that the Israeli military can guarantee that they will not come under fire from its troops. Bodies are piling up in the corridors of Jenin hospital, where 30 people are reported to have died in the last 36 hours, the operating theatre there has run out of oxygen and medicines are about to run out.
Richard Cook, director of UNRWA operations in the West Bank said: "A humanitarian disaster is in the making in the West Bank camps. There has been an alarming loss of life. UNRWA must have, without delay, safe access to the camps to carry out its humanitarian mission."

Wii U vs Nintendo Switch: Which Console Reigns Supreme?
Should You Switch to the Switch?
The Nintendo Switch is the latest console from Nintendo, released in March of 2017, yet many consumers may be wondering if it's worth purchasing. Why not stick with the Wii U?
Nintendo isn't exactly known for making technological improvements with new consoles, so it's a valid to ask if the Nintendo Switch is worth it.
Upgrades Were Made
For starters, Nintendo did in fact upgrade their hardware in a major way. The Nintendo Switch runs on (modified) Nvidia Tegra X1 processor — which is a quad-core, 64-bit CPU, with an Nvidia Maxwell 256-core GPU. The Tegra X1 is in fact one of the most powerful mobile chipsets in recent times, so this is a surprisingly massive hardware upgrade for a company not known for adding much hardware tech to its new consoles.
Compare this to the 1.24 GHz Tri-Core "Espresso" CPU in the Wii U – if you have no idea what any of this means, let's just say it's quite a significant upgrade, which means the Nintendo Switch has quite a bit more power to display sharp graphics and gameplay. The Nintendo Switch can display games in 1080p resolution at a maximum framerate of 60 frames-per-second.
It's not quite Xbox/Playstation powerful, and consoles are certainly not as powerful as dedicated gaming computers, but the Nintendo Switch is certainly competitive with high-end mobile tablets and devices.
The internal storage wasn't upgraded in the Nintendo Switch, however – both the Switch and the Wii U use the same 32GB internal storage. But whereas the Wii U expansion is limited to external USB memory or hard drive, the Nintendo Switch can be expanded via microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC.
However, all of the above is hardware specs on paper – what really matters is how the consoles actually perform, and if game developers take advantage of the hardware inside the console. So far, a general consensus among Nintendo gamers is that Nintendo Switch is just displaying some extra minor effects and graphical improvements, but nothing jaw-dropping.
The Nintendo Switch really shines when its docked, as compared to being in handheld mode, because that's when the console can maximize its hardware performance. So when using the Nintendo Switch as a docked console, users really should see significant graphic improvements when compared to the Wii U. In handheld mode is where the improvements seem minor.
The Designs Do Differ
Design wise, they're nearly the same device – they're both home-based consoles that can be turned into handheld consoles. The difference here is that the Wii U's handheld mode was really only intended as a being a game controller, with very limited remote functionality.
This is because the Wii U's remote play functionality was limited to basically streaming the gameplay from the console to the handheld device mode. The Nintendo Switch, on the other hand, can literally be used as a portable device, meaning you can take your gaming anywhere with you.
5 of the Best PS4 Games You Can Play for Free
Xavier Miller | Apr 4, 2019
Smart Baby Products
Officemax Shredder
Home Camera Systems
While the Wii U and the Nintendo Switch have the same exact screen size, at 6.2 inches, the quality is remarkably different. The Wii U's touchscreen was limited to a resolution of 854×480, and had a very "plastic" quality feel to it. The Nintendo Switch has an LCD screen capable of 1280 x 720 resolution, and is just more vibrant in color depth overall.
Again, if we're confusing you, it's important to remember that screen size is not the same as screen resolution. Screen resolution is, simply put, the size at which objects are displayed on the screen. Larger resolutions tend to mean better clarity and more detail, because images become "blurry" when they're blown up to a larger size (lower resolutions means images are displayed much larger).
So you could have two screens of the same size, but the one that has a larger resolution will have better picture detail overall.
Gaming Options
As far as overall game availability goes, the Wii U has more, since it is an older system. Plus, many classic Wii U titles are bound to drop in price, or already have, from their release date prices. The Nintendo Switch, being the newer system, doesn't have as many titles available, but its catalog has certainly expanded since its release. Plus the best Nintendo Switch games out there are ones that are pretty exciting. Of course, you will pay more for newer titles, so keep that in mind.
Of course, no Nintendo console would be complete without a plethora of additional accessories to complement the system, and the Nintendo Switch already has plenty. As of writing, available accessories for the Nintendo Switch include items like the Joy-Con steering wheel (for racing games), charging docks for the handheld controller, light-up dock shields, and licensed microSD cards.
A note about the latter, though: there is no difference between buying a regular 128GB SanDisk microSD card, and a 128GB SanDisk microSD that is licensed by Nintendo, except for a $30 price difference because Mario is on the cover.
All in all, the Nintendo Switch is a good choice for Nintendo-fans who want the latest console, and some technological improvements. If you're trying to decide between a Nintendo Switch and a Wii U, there's almost no reason to not go with the Nintendo Switch, as long as you keep your expectations within the realms of what Nintendo has released in the past.

Sprinter dumps Great Britain for Ghana
By Gowon Akpodonor

2 hours ago Sport
• Nigerian athletes set for IAAF Indoor in USA
The reverse had always been the case, but this time, sprinter Sean Safo-Antwi has been cleared to switch allegiance from Great Britain to Ghana.
The 25-year-old won the 60m at the Glasgow Indoor Grand Prix and finished third at the British Indoor Championships in February.
British Athletics did not oppose his application to the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).Long jumper Jazmin Sawyers has been added to the GB squad for the World Indoor Championships in Portland, USA.Sawyers won the British Indoor title in Sheffield in February. The World Championships take place from March 17 to 20.
Meanwhile, the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has predicted that the nation's athletes will put up a good performance in the fast approaching IAAF World Indoor Championships, Portland 2016.
Board member of AFN, Prof. Ken Anugweje, told The Guardian from the AFN High Performance Centre at the University of Port Harcourt yesterday that athletes who have been training in Nigeria would depart early next week to join their over sea based counterparts.
Preliminary entries of 699 athletes (403 men, 296 women) have been received from 154 federations, making it a significantly larger event than the previous two editions on the continent.
Nigeria will contest alongside Bahamas, Belgium, Guyana, Jamaica, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, Poland, Romania, Ukraine and the U.S.
in the championship.
Among the athletes expected to depart from Nigeria next week are sprinter Ogho-Oghene Egwero, Obinna Metu, Noah Akwu and Patience Okon George. Coach Eric Campbell and Gabriel Okon, who will be joined later by two others, will lead the team.
According to Prof. Anugweje, the athletes have what it takes to compete favorably in Portland. "My only concern is that our athletes are coming from a warm region to a colder region. I pray it does no affect them," Anugweje said.
There were 537 athletes from 93 countries at the 1993 World Indoor Championships in Toronto, while 419 athletes from 85 countries competed at the 1987 World Indoor Championships in Indianapolis.
This year's championships could be better represented than the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Sopot 2014, at which 539 athletes from 134 nations competed.
The USA is one of just five countries to have hosted IAAF championship events across the four main competition surfaces: outdoors track, indoor track, road and cross-country.

Like most Cracker Barrel stores and restaurants. This is a great place to eat. I just ate here a few nights ago and had a great meal. The waitress I had was very patient with my kids. I have a 2 year old and an 8 year old. The two year old was fine with the waitress as she was very entertaining to him! I highly recommend this place to eat!

Shadow Industry Minister backs continuity for the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK at the Labour Party Conference
Speaking at the SMMT breakfast during the Labour Party Conference in Manchester, Shadow Industry Minister Iain Wright MP set out his party's commitment to the continuation of successful automotive policies and institutions.
Mr. Wright said that The Advanced Propulsion Centre, Automotive Investment Organisation and the Automotive Council would all continue under a Labour government.
The Minister also outlined Labour's support for SMMT's five manifesto priorities for next year's General Election:
Commitment to long-term industrial strategy.
Creating the right conditions for investment.
Positioning the UK as a global leader on innovation.
Supporting ultra-low emission vehicles and a strong sustainable vehicle market.
Maintaining a strong UK voice in Europe.
Mr. Wright acknowledged that key issues need to be addressed if the UK automotive sector is to be successful in the future – particularly in skills, supply chain and innovation. In the latter area, he questioned whether the landscape could be more streamlined to help UK businesses realise their potential.

Cycle lanes still under threat
The County Council has deferred making a decision on whether to remove the cycle lanes from a long section of Hills Road (between Cavendish Avenue and Long Road) to make space for an outbound bus lane. Originally the council's Area Joint Committee was due to consider the results of last autumn's consultation on 20 January. However, because of the strenuous opposition to this scheme by Cambridge Cycling Campaign, the decision has been deferred to 7 April. See the campaigning update.
Meanwhile on Milton Road the County Council is proposing to remove the cycle lanes from a 250 m section of Milton Road between Woodhead Drive and King's Hedges Road to make room for an outbound bus lane. The new bus lane will be a total of 325 m in length, and the existing inbound bus lane will be shortened by 50 m to make room for it.
We haven't yet seen detailed plans for the scheme, but it looks as if the big losers will be inbound cyclists, who will find themselves sharing a narrow lane with all other traffic, and will suffer the same intimidation from drivers wanting to overtake as outbound cyclists already suffer. Pavement cycleways will be provided in both sides of the road.
This was first reported in Newsletter 45. We said then that the new bus lane would be an extension to the existing bus lane, which was incorrect. In fact the new bus lane will be on the opposite side of the road to the existing bus lane. Our apologies for the error.
Milton Road cycle lane may go.
Cycle access still under threat
The informal cycle and pedestrian access route from Garry Drive to Cambridge Science Park is once again under threat. Last autumn, an application by management company Bidwells to erect a security fence and close the access was rejected by South Cambridgeshire District Council. We have now learned that Bidwells are trying to get that decision overturned by making an appeal to the Secretary of State.
This access provides the most direct route to the Science Park from most of King's Hedges, and the original application to close it was opposed by Cambridge Cycling Campaign, Milton Parish Council and others.
Work has started on a new roadside cycle path from the edge of Cambridge to the village of Hardwick. The new path, which is about two miles in length, starts on Madingley Road just west of the M11 junction and runs to the edge of the village. Unfortunately cyclists will have to stop and give way at the junctions with the side roads that lead to Coton and to Comberton, as well as at a number of side entrances. Nevertheless the new route will be a welcome alternative to the A1303. The new route passes the American Cemetery, which will become much more accessible by cycle as a result.
A roadside cycle path to Hardwick is under construction,
Also under construction is a traffic calming scheme on Norfolk Street in the Petersfield Area, consisting mainly of raised tables to reduce vehicle speeds.
The Highways Agency has awarded the contract to build the long-awaited new cycle bridge over the A14 to Milton to John Mowlem and Co for £1.95M. The centre span should be lifted into place in September, and the bridge should open for traffic in December 2003 or spring 2004.


As you may remember I visited the Skylon Tower Family Fun Center Arcade (Also known as Skyquest) last year. I had a chance to visit 2 more times since then so I thought I would give everyone some updates on the games there and show some of the other games that were not shown in the previous post. The Skylon Tower Family Fun center has many unique and rare games all playable to the public.
When you come down the escalator entrance the first thing you see is the classic Bowlingo Bowling Lanes.
I filmed this video of the game in working condition on a previous visit. This game gets very loud due to the air compressor inside the game, in this video you can see how loud the game gets.
Sega Super GT was found in working condition.
Sega 18 Wheeler was also found in working condition with a newly installed LCD screen.
I love this corner with G-LOC and Hang-On, both of these games are in good working condition.
Galaxy Force is still here and running perfectly.
Now I will showcase some of the more unique redemption games still in operation at the Skylon.
Simple Simon Redemption game by Sammy, 1993. I have never seen this game anywhere else, very unique.
Stock Car Challenge was a fun and interesting one.
Boom Ball is an awesome classic that I hardly see anywhere else, very happy this one is still here.
An arcade isn't complete without some nice classic Skee ball's.
Finally this very large basketball game and classic Hoop Shot machines round out the redemption game classics at this arcade.
As you can see from my last visit some things have been fixed that were not working before, so it seems this arcade is picking up, there were a couple down machines, but you find that at every arcade and the majority of the games were in working order. I had a great time at the arcade this past week as they have a lot of fun and interesting games here.
Stay tuned as I will have more on the Skylon Tower Family Fun Center in the near future.
I think if I'm not mistaken, there is a Feed Big Bertha game there. If you do come across it, can you please take a picture of it?
I have your pictures of big bertha however I couldn't get them to post to the article for some reason, I can see your email so I will send them to you there.
I would recognize that 18 wheeler anywhere. I did the TV upgrade to it when it was a tech at Dave and Busters in Vaughan ON. Down by the power cord there is a big chunk taken out of the cabinet when we propped it up with a pallet jack to move it during a carpet renovation in the building.


Tests by an outside environmental consultant have shown that there is not a mold problem at Ed Rice Community Center. Based on those findings, the facility is safe and will reopen at noon Friday.
The standard for judging mold spore levels to be "elevated" is when mold spore counts inside a building are more than 80 percent of the mold spore counts outside that building. The tests at Ed Rice Community Center showed that spore counts were between 0.57 and 4.24 percent of the outside counts — well below mold spore levels in the outside air. The consultant noted that these findings are an indication that there are not active mold colonies releasing spores inside the building.
We're sharing the lab reports here and here.
Complaints about the potential of mold came from a television interview given by the administrator of the Shelby County Election Commission, which uses the building as a polling place. As a precautionary measure, the City closed the center last Thursday, Aug. 30, pending the test results.
Ed Rice Community Center is located at 2907 North Watkins Street in Frayser.
In the current year's capital improvement budget, Mayor Jim Strickland and the Memphis City Council, chaired by District 7 representative Berlin Boyd, approved $960,000 to design a replacement for Ed Rice Community Center, which was built in the mid-1960s.

O voo Aeroflot 721 foi uma rota doméstica regular de passageiros entre Moscou e Iujno-Sakhalinsk, na Rússia Soviética. Na quarta-feira, 2 de setembro de 1964, a aeronave que voava nesta rota, um Ilyushin Il-18, colidiu com a encosta de uma colina ao aproximar-se de Iujno-Sakhalinsk, matando 87 das 93 pessoas a bordo. Na época, foi o acidente do Il-18 mais mortal e o acidente aéreo mais mortal em solo russo.

Aeronave
A aeronave envolvida foi um avião turboélice Ilyushin Il-18V prefixado CCCP-75531. No momento do acidente, estava em serviço há apenas cerca de um ano e havia registrado apenas 1.269 horas de voo no total.

Acidente
A rota do voo 721 o levou ao leste da Rússia de Moscou a Iujno-Sakhalinsk, com escalas em  Krasnoiarsk e Khabarovsk. Ao aproximar-se de Iujno-Sakhalinsk, a tripulação do voo, ao invés de completar o padrão de aproximação, solicitou permissão para uma aproximação direta, que foi concedida. Enquanto a aeronave descia, colidiu com uma encosta arborizada a uma altitude de cerca de , matando todos os nove tripulantes e 78 dos 84 passageiros.

O relatório oficial citou erro do piloto e mau planejamento em voo como a causa do acidente; a tripulação iniciou a descida prematuramente e aparentemente não tinha conhecimento suficiente das condições de aproximação, e esses fatores combinados acabaram levando ao acidente.

L'Oréal's chief digital officer on its 24 brands and their digital makeover
Larry Luk, chief digital officer, L'Oréal oversees the digital division of some 24 brands under the L'Oréal umbrella in Hong Kong - a momentous task. Marketing's Carlos Bruinsma sits down with Luk to pick his brain on how he continuously pushes his brands forward in one of the most saturated markets in one of the most cutthroat industries.
L'Oréal is a beauty industry heavyweight, and has been for decades. The team explained that their business can be subdivided in four big divisions - consumer products, luxury, active cosmetics and professional products. Each of these divisions are based on sales channels; for example consumer products are distributed through pharmacy chains like Watsons or Mannings, whereas the professional products are sold through b2b partnerships with salons.
Over the past year, the group has generated €26 billion in revenue globally. The brands they manage include icons in their own right, like Kiehl's, Lancôme, Kérastase and of course, the eponymous L'Oréal.
Luk's remit is to cover all of these different divisions and brands, and make them palatable to their digital audience.
"It's a challenge - but a fun one!" Luk said with a smile.
Luk, perhaps surprisingly, started his career as an architect and interior designer before making his way as a visual merchandiser. From there on, he went into product buying and e-commerce, before finally making his way to his current role.
"I have a curious mindset, and I'm interested in generating new ideas to problem-solve," he says by way of explanation. "Marketing is a profession that embraces that."
He joined the brand in April 2017 as the first chief digital officer in Hong Kong. "Being the first in the role, I have the opportunity to shape what the role is for Hong Kong," he said. "Yet, we have a backbone of digital strategies to guide us through it. We have a very clear integrated digital strategy."
The three key pillars of what Luk defines as 'digital' are CRM, e-commerce and digital marketing.
"Managing the team is also a key focus, and one of my biggest passions is working with the team and disseminating that strategy by division, and by brand. They all have a unique personality and business model. And of course, we have global resources to help," he explained.
And people are a big focus for the group as a whole. Since the appointment of the first CDO in 2014, L'Oréal has recruited more than 1,000 individuals into the digital arm, 20 of which reside in Hong Kong. And ultimately, it's these people that need to be the experts - 14,000 marketers were retrained as well.
"We've partnered with General Assembly to upskill our marketing population, delivering over 70 modules. It's a wonderful opportunity, and very exciting."
But just because they have a team of digital experts, does not mean they solely rely on the digital team to do all digital tasks - that would not be enough, according to Luk. Instead, they position the digital experts as "agents of transformation" - or more practically, generating new ideas and helping the rest of the team get grips with the various skillsets needed to effectively communicate with consumers across every touchpoint.
"At L'Oréal, we're very consumer-centric, especially in terms of looking at how we get in touch with our consumer - and so our key buzzword is mobile-first. How can we communicate our message through mobile devices first?"
And Luk doesn't just talk the talk either - he puts his money where his mouth is.
"I personally try to use only my mobile throughout the day - no laptops - just to see how we're being mobile-friendly, not just externally, but internally.
"It took some time to get used to, but it's critical! The generation now wakes up, checks Facebook first thing. The workforce is younger, the way they behave is changed by how they consume media."
And while that's not the only thing that's changing, but it is perhaps the leading trend among consumers. Luk refers to a "digital tsunami", and explained that how consumers experience things, and how they interact with the brand, to how we work internally, everything is digitalised.
"It's a massive disruption. At L'Oréal we are preparing to expect the unexpected - all the upskilling internally and the talent we recruit, they all have this mindset of teamwork and collaboration. #TeamIsTheNewHero," he said with a laugh.
For the beauty industry in particular, and L'Oréal more specifically, consumer tastes are changing as well. The e-commerce business, for example, recorded a 34% increase in turnover, accounting for some €2 billion - 8% of total revenue.
"So on the one hand, we have e-commerce, and on the other, we have Asia - and Hong Kong sits in both."
Within Asia, Luk quotes luxury as driving double-digit growth, and in Hong Kong, a big trend is O2O.
"I know it's a huge buzzword, and everyone is tired of hearing it," he said with a laugh. "But we have 70 retail stores and if we can leverage these points of sale to drive consumer engagement and drive them to the end goal (shopping) and engaging people with the brand experience (our product) this has to be our focus, and it has been."
At the moment, the group focused a lot of their media dollars on for exampl on driving traffic to the physical store. For example, they aim to actively drive the consumer to collect samples and try the product on, or get a consultation in-store, through outlets like Facebook and WeChat, through WC, to be able to reach out to different demographics.
The physical points of sale, then, are a strategic place to give consumers a tool to experience the brand - not only the product, but the decorations, the background, the range of products available and much more - "the DNA" of the brand.
Moreover, when people visit the stores, the L'Oréal, the beauty advisers are trained to help people understand not just the product, but the brand as a whole.
"Hong Kong is unique in that we have so many counters, so our beauty advisors can give a full demonstration of the brand experience."
This plays into the brand's goal to be "100% loved", and at the same time, achieve 50% customer engagement.
For example, with Lancôme the team embedded a Facebook pixel into the website to to track the customer journey and serve personalised ads. Similarly, some of the group's brands use social listening for product development. Luk explained how Nyx Professional Makeup noticed a new trend regarding bold lip colours; they quickly developed a campaign and developed a relevant product. One of the posts on Instagram netted a whopping 40,000 likes, on a page with 12 million followers, all by paying attention to trends and capitalising quickly.
But there's no perfect formula for success, and things are in a perpetual state of change: "The KPIs always change, the sentiment always changes. And how you listen also changes. Right now, we're using words for social listening, but soon we'll be using pictures."
While Hong Kong is relatively conservative in terms of shopping habits, as many consumers still prefer to have a wander around a physical location to keeping the whole shopping experience online, ecommerce is unsurprisingly a big focus for the group going forward.
At L'Oréal, we have to focus not just on direct e-commerce, but on indirect e-commerce as well. So for example, by partnering with e-tailers, and department stores like Lane Crawford - we already have a presence on some platforms and are working on strengthening our partnership with for example LaneCrawford.com."
On the direct front, L'Oréal has a global partnership with Salesforce, which would potentially open multiple windows of opportunity.
"E-commerce is our key focus globally, so we're looking into it," Luk said with secretive smile.

Q: Create point-to-site connection for all web apps slots using powershell I'm following the tutorial from here https://azure.microsoft.com/pl-pl/documentation/articles/app-service-vnet-integration-powershell/
where I've a script which allows me to connect multiple web apps with VNet.
The issue is our web apps have few deployment slots and when this script is run it only updates currently used slot.
I wasn't able to get web app from different slot by the name, also I don't see any parameter which would apply my configuration to all slots.
Script for the reference:
function ConnectWebAppWithVNet()
{
    param(
            $SubscriptionId,
            $VNetResourceGroupName,
            $AppResourceGroupName,
            $WebAppName,
            $VNetName,
            $GatewayName,
            $P2SRootCertName2,
            $MyP2SCertPubKeyBase64_2
    )
    $webApp = Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceName $WebAppName -ResourceType "Microsoft.Web/sites" -ApiVersion 2015-08-01 -ResourceGroupName $AppResourceGroupName
    $location = $webApp.Location

    $vnet = Get-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -name $VNetName -ResourceGroupName $VNetResourceGroupName

    $gateway = Get-AzureRmVirtualNetworkGateway -ResourceGroupName $vnet.ResourceGroupName -Name $GatewayName

    # validate gateway types, etc.
    if($gateway.GatewayType -ne "Vpn")
    {
        Write-Error "This gateway is not of the Vpn type. It cannot be joined to an App."
        return
    }

    if($gateway.VpnType -ne "RouteBased")
    {
        Write-Error "This gateways Vpn type is not RouteBased. It cannot be joined to an App."
        return
    }

    if($gateway.VpnClientConfiguration -eq $null -or $gateway.VpnClientConfiguration.VpnClientAddressPool -eq $null)
    {
        Write-Host "This gateway does not have a Point-to-site Address Range. Please specify one in CIDR notation, e.g. 10.0.0.0/8"
        return
    }

    Write-Host "Creating App association to VNET"
    $propertiesObject = @{
     "vnetResourceId" = "/subscriptions/$($subscriptionId)/resourceGroups/$($vnet.ResourceGroupName)/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/$($vnetName)"
    }

    $virtualNetwork = New-AzureRmResource -Location $location -Properties $propertiesObject -ResourceName "$($webAppName)/$($vnet.Name)" -ResourceType "Microsoft.Web/sites/virtualNetworkConnections" -ApiVersion 2015-08-01 -ResourceGroupName $AppResourceGroupName -Force

    # We need to check if the certificate here exists in the gateway.
    $certificates = $gateway.VpnClientConfiguration.VpnClientRootCertificates

    $certFound = $false
    foreach($certificate in $certificates)
    {
        if($certificate.PublicCertData -eq $virtualNetwork.Properties.CertBlob)
        {
            $certFound = $true
            break
        }
    }

    if(-not $certFound)
    {
        Write-Host "Adding certificate"
        Add-AzureRmVpnClientRootCertificate -ResourceGroupName $VNetResourceGroupName -VpnClientRootCertificateName "AppServiceCertificate.cer" -PublicCertData $virtualNetwork.Properties.CertBlob -VirtualNetworkGatewayName $gateway.Name
    }

    # Now finish joining by getting the VPN package and giving it to the App
    Write-Host "Retrieving VPN Package and supplying to App"
    $packageUri = Get-AzureRmVpnClientPackage -ResourceGroupName $vnet.ResourceGroupName -VirtualNetworkGatewayName $gateway.Name -ProcessorArchitecture Amd64

    # Put the VPN client configuration package onto the App
    $PropertiesObject = @{
    "vnetName" = $vnet.Name; "vpnPackageUri" = $packageUri
    }

    New-AzureRmResource -Location $location -Properties $propertiesObject -ResourceName "$($webAppName)/$($vnet.Name)/primary" -ResourceType "Microsoft.Web/sites/virtualNetworkConnections/gateways" -ApiVersion 2015-08-01 -ResourceGroupName $AppResourceGroupName -Force

    Write-Host "Finished!"
}

A: If your web app is already connected to VPN there is a way to connect also its slot.
$webAppName = "name_of_app_service"
$resourceGroup = "name_of_resource_group"
$vnetName = "name_of_vnet"
$slotName = "staging"

$resName = $webAppName + "/" + $slotName
$WebAppConfig = Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites/slots/config -ResourceName $resName -ApiVersion 2016-08-01
$WebAppConfig.Properties.vnetName = $vnetName
Set-AzureRmResource -ResourceId $WebAppConfig.ResourceId -Properties $WebAppConfig.Properties -ApiVersion 2016-08-01 # -Force

A: I've manged to get help from Azure support and we've found out the problem:

I've created secondary slot without cloning the configuration
  settings from main slot. If this setting would be selected,
  secondary slot would be connected automatically. In my case I couldn't recreate slot so I needed to manually
  connect secondary slot after swapping.

Coming Out As YOU!
"The hardest thing I have ever had to deal with was accepting my sexuality. But it's who I am. In fact, it is something that I would never want to change." – Ruby, 18, (Hawaii)
Sharing a big part of who you are with other people can be exciting and tough. That's why The Trevor Project created "Coming Out As You" – a guide to help you explore important parts of who you are.
Inside you will find questions that many young people think about, and blank spaces to brainstorm how you might answer them. There are also two great worksheets that can help you organize your thoughts.
After thinking it through you may decide not to come out – and that's ok too. Many people choose not to for different reasons.

Hollywood Stars Call for Beto O'Rourke to Run for President in 2020 After Losing to Ted Cruz
"Beto lost? That's ok. Now he can run for president," says Alyssa Milano
Jon Levine | November 7, 2018 @ 8:00 AM
Beto O'Rourke's loss to Ted Cruz in the Texas Senate race Tuesday night did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of his supporters, many of whom immediately called on the Democratic congressman to put the Cruz fight behind him and seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.
Leading the pack was one of Hollywood's biggest Beto Boosters, Alyssa Milano.
"Beto lost? That's ok. Now he can run for President," the former "Charmed" actress said, adding a "#Beto2020" hashtag.

As of Wednesday morning, Milano's call was closing in 10,000 retweets. Many others took up the mantle as well, saying O'Rourke's near miss against Cruz was proof of his national potential.
Guys – if Beto can get 49% of the vote in Texas, what can he get in, um, America?

Though he did better than any Texas Democrat in a generation, O'Rourke ultimately went down to Cruz, losing the Senate content by more than 200,000 votes.
During an MSNBC analysis of the race, Rachel Maddow said Cruz had savvily turned his "repellent" personality into an asset.
"He has never campaigned as a politician as being a guy you would like to be around. He has campaigned as a sort of World Wrestling villain, right?" said Maddow. "'Your hate makes me stronger.' So we're all talking like that's a weakness. Ted Cruz knows that he has a repellent personality. He has just turned it to his advantage."
Beto himself repeatedly ruled out a presidential run on the campaign trail, telling voters his only aim in the race was serving as Senator from Texas.
He went on to drop an F-bomb Tuesday night while thanking his supporters for their spirited challenge against Cruz, saying: "All of you, showing the country how you do this. I'm so f—ing proud of you guys."
15 Stars Who Imagined Violence Against Donald Trump, From Kathy Griffin to Pearl Jam (Photos)
Since the election, several celebrities have voiced their displeasure -- even anger -- with the Trump administration. Some have gone so far as to suggest violent measures. From Robert De Niro to Snoop Dogg, here are some left-leaning noteworthy people who have fanned themes of violence toward Trump and the GOP.
In a TMZ video from 2015, this boxer-turned-actor directed his rage toward Trump, calling him a "big-mouthed bitch bully," saying he would "love 30 seconds in a room with the little bitch." Rourke has also expressed a desire to "give [Trump] a Louisville slugger."

Larry Wilmore
In late February 2016, the host of Comedy Central's now-canceled "The Nightly Show" joked about then-candidate Donald Trump: "I don't want to give him any more oxygen. That's not a euphemism, by the way. I mean it literally. Somebody get me the pillow they used to kill [Supreme Court Justice Antonin] Scalia and I'll do it — I'll do it!"
During the Republican primaries in March 2016, the Mexican American comedian tweeted a cartoon image of former Mexican president Vincente Fox holding the decapitated head of Donald Trump aloft, with the caption "Make America Great Again."
Shock-rocker Marilyn Manson had to take his turn in the Trump-bashing festivities. In a teaser video for his song, "Say10," released just after the 2016 election, a Trump-like figure wearing a suit and a red tie lies decapitated on a concrete floor, in a pool of his own blood.
In July 2017, O'Donnell tweeted out a link to a game called "Push Trump Off A Cliff Again." This made many conservatives want to push her off a cliff, not POTUS.

The actor is not afraid to express his disdain for the commander in chief. De Niro confirmed to ABC's "The View" in February 2017 that he would like to punch Trump in the face. He clarified earlier comments, saying "It wasn't like I was gonna go find him and [really] punch him in the face, but he's gotta hear it."

Snoop Dogg's music video for "Lavender," released in March 2017, (literally) paints POTUS as a clown and orchestrates his death. At the video's end, the "Gin and Juice" rapper points a gun at the harlequin Trump figure and shoots. But instead of a bullet, a red flag that reads "Bang!" fires out of the gun.

The comedian landed in hot water in May 2017 after photos surfaced of her holding a fake bloody, decapitated Trump head. Griffin was promptly dropped from her annual New Year's Eve gig by CNN. Toilet stool company Squatty Potty also pulled its ads featuring Griffin. Trump himself called the photos "sick" and tweeted that his youngest son, Barron, was "having a hard time" with the images. Griffin later apologized.

NYC Public Theater's "Julius Caesar"
The nonprofit theater staged a modern adaptation of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" in May-June 2017 that made conservative viewers want to revolt. In the production, a Trumplike figure playing the title role is stabbed to death by a band of angry Senators. The Public Theater subsequently lost sponsorships from Delta Airlines and Bank of America.

During an appearance at the U.K.'s 2017 Glastonbury music and arts festival, the actor tore into the president -- "I think Trump needs help" -- and then made an ill-considered joke: "When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?" Depp claimed his joke was misconstrued and eventually issued an apology.

Asked what he'd serve at a peace summit between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, the celebrity chef told a TMZ video crew in 2017: "Hemlock."
In February 2017 rapper Big Sean rapped a verse about killing the President on his "I Decided" album. The lyrics are, "And I might just kill ISIS with the same icepick/That I murder Donald Trump in the same night with."
At a show in Montana in August 2018 that served as a fundraiser for Sen. Jon Tester, the Seattle-based rockers released a cartoon poster commemorating the show that featured a bald eagle picking at the rotting corpse of President Trump on the White House lawn.

How did CAREX choose this agent for review?
A synthetic herbicide widely used in agriculture, forestry, industrial sites, and aquatic environments
Associated cancers: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (limited evidence)
Most important routes of exposure: Inhalation, skin contact, and ingestion
Uses: Kills grasses, annual and perennial plants, vines, shrubs, and trees; many crops such as soybeans, corn, cotton, and canola have been genetically engineered to resist glyphosate
Occupational exposures: An estimated 37,000 to 55,000 workers are exposed to glyphosate in the agricultural sector
Environmental exposures: Via diet, domestic application, and living near sprayed areas
Fast fact: Glyphosate is the most widely sold and applied pesticide in Canada.
Glyphosate is a non-selective organophosphate herbicide widely used in agriculture, forestry, industrial sites (such as rail corridors or transmission lines), and aquatic environments.[1] The use of this herbicide dramatically increased when crops such as soybeans, corn, cotton, and canola were genetically engineered to resist glyphosate.[2] It is the most widely sold and applied pesticide in Canada.[3]
Glyphosate is a colourless, odourless, crystalline solid, also known as gliphosate, glyphosate hydrochloride, or N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine.[2] Glyphosate formulations are typically prepared with the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate, a surfactant (to help it penetrate plants), and other chemicals.[4] As of 2016, there are 194 products listed with glyphosate as an active ingredient registered with the Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).[5] Of these, 39 are registered for domestic use. The trade names that glyphosate is sold under include: Round-Up®, Rodeo®, Xtreme®, ByeBye Weed®, TotalEx®, Wipe Out®.[5]
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A) in its 2015 assessment of the carcinogenicity of five organophosphate pesticides.[6] There was limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which came from a number of studies published since 2001. There was sufficient evidence that glyphosate can cause cancer in laboratory animals. IARC also evaluated mechanistic studies and cited evidence of genotoxicity and oxidative stress associated with glyphosate exposure.[6] In response to this new classification, Health Canada has proposed additional labeling protocols for products containing glyphosate.[7] Monsanto, the leading producer of glyphosate herbicide products, has publicly disagreed with this new classification.[8] Overall, the carcinogenicity of glyphosate is an area of ongoing assessment and debate; a number of hazard or risk assessments are currently underway or were recently completed by regulatory bodies, including the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and US EPA.[9,10]
The short-term consequences of ingesting glyphosate formulations are generally mild, transient gastrointestinal effects.[4] Ingesting large amounts of glyphosate formulations (>85 mL) can corrode the gastrointestinal system and cause impairments to the heart, kidneys, and liver. Respiratory distress, unconsciousness, and shock may also result.[4] Dermal or eye exposure to glyphosate formulations can cause irritations. Inhaling spray mist may cause oral or nasal discomfort, tingling, and throat irritation.[4]
Occupational Exposure Limits (OEL)
No occupational exposure limits were located for glyphosate in Canada or any other international jurisdiction.[11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26]

Several provincial, territorial, and municipal governments have passed laws to reduce the risks that pesticide products pose to human health and the environment. In the case of glyphosate, this includes restrictions on sales, production, or trade.[34,35] Although several provinces and one territory have implemented some form of cosmetic pesticide policy (QC, 2003; NB, 2009; ON, 2009; AB, 2010; PEI, 2010; NS, 2010; NL, 2012; YK 1994), only the Ontario and Nova Scotia legislation is considered strong enough to significantly reduce cosmetic pesticide exposure.[35] For example, Ontario's Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Act, which has the most comprehensive restrictions on lawn and garden pesticides in North America, prohibits the use of over 250 pesticide products and over 95 pesticide ingredients, including glyphosate, for cosmetic use.[36]
The herbicidal activity of glyphosate was discovered in 1970, first commercialized by Monsanto in 1974, and registered for use in Canada in 1976.[28] It is currently one of the most widely used herbicides in Canada for agricultural, domestic, forestry, and commercial applications.[5] A number of plants have been genetically engineered to be unaffected by glyphosate, including soybeans, corn, cotton, and canola.[37] Glyphosate is widely used in the agricultural sector in Canada[3], but also within forestry, industrial weed control, lawn and gardens, and aquatic environments.[1]
Since the PMRA began tracking the sales of pesticides in Canada in 2006, the use of glyphosate has consistently increased. This is primarily due to the increased use of glyphosate-tolerant crops, zero tillage practices (in which the crop is sown directly into soil that has not been tilled since the harvest of the previous crop, to minimize erosion and maximize soil biodiversity), expanded acreage of glyphosate-tolerant corn and canola, and blueberry production.[3,38] Given that glyphosate application is widespread and it is solely used for weed control, weed-resistance is increasingly becoming an issue in many countries.[39] Giant ragweed is one example of a glyphosate-resistant weed, which was first documented in Canada in 2009.[40]
Examples of glyphosate use in Canada include:[41]
Agricultural: to control weed growth on fence rows, in storage areas, next to glyphosate-tolerant crops, along irrigation canals, and on fallow or non-producing acreage; for minimum and no-tillage farming practices; to renovate pastures; and to remove ground vegetation from fruit orchards.
Forestry: to remove ground vegetation of deciduous trees, shrubs, and vegetation from conifer forests and tree planting operations.
Industrial/commercial: to landscape highways, roadsides, railroad right-of-ways, warehouses, storage areas, public waterways, golf courses, cemeteries, and campus grounds.
Residential: to eradicate poison ivy, poison oak, vines, and perennial weeds from patios, pavements, driveways, rock gardens, and other locations.
According to the Reporting Regulations for Pest Control Products Sales Information that came into force in November 2006, all pesticides sold and used in Canada must be registered with Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).[42]
The PMRA is currently conducting a re-evaluation of glyphosate, which is expected to continue registration of these products, but calls for updates to product labels to provide additional guidance on safe use for human health and the environment.[43]
Since 2007, glyphosate has consistently had the highest sales volume of all pesticides sold in Canada, with over 25,000,000 kg of active ingredients (kg a.i.) sold per year.[3,42,43,44,45,46] These sales were primarily within the agricultural sector, where glyphosate was ranked as having the highest sales volume of kg a.i. of herbicide. It was not among the top 10 active ingredients sold within the non-agricultural or domestic sector except for in 2007-2008, when it was ranked number 10 for the domestic sector. No information is known about the sales of glyphosate in Canada from 2013 onwards. The global consumption of glyphosate in 2011 was estimated at 650,000,000 kg a.i. per year and increasing.[47]
Comparison of glyphosate sales* in British Columbia (BC)[38], Quebec (QC)[47]**, and Alberta (AB);[48] use data for Ontario (ON).[49]
*Includes total sales within all sectors for BC, AB, and QC, and use data in only the agricultural sector for ON.
**QC uses chemical groups to report on pesticide sales instead of individual active ingredients. Reported values are for phosphonic/phosphinic acids (primarily glyphosate).
Sales data for provinces and territories is limited. However, glyphosate sales have increased significantly between 2003 and 2008-2010 in British Columbia by 106%, in Quebec by 111%, and in Alberta by 112%.[38,50,48] Agricultural glyphosate use in Ontario increased by 76% from 2003 to 2008.[49]
Environmental Exposures
The general population is primarily exposed to glyphosate through their proximity to sprayed areas, domestic application, and diet, although the levels of exposure have generally been observed as low.[6] Wind may carry the spray or contaminated soil into residential areas.[41] People may also be exposed to glyphosate through the aquatic environment when the herbicide is intentionally applied to control aquatic weeds, is spilled, or is accidentally discharged.[41]
Glyphosate binds tightly to soil, where it is eventually broken down by microbes. The half-life of glyphosate in the soil is an average of 47 days, but varies greatly between 2-197 days depending on local conditions.[49] Glyphosate has a half-life of 3-91 days in water. It is thought to present a low risk of contaminating groundwater due to its strong absorptive properties; however it can contaminate surface waters through aquatic use and soil erosion. The general population may become exposed during active spraying. The low vapour pressure of glyphosate makes it unlikely to volatilize back into the air after being applied.[51]
A Canadian National Water Quality Surveillance Program conducted in 2003-2005 found concentrations of glyphosate as high as 9,000 nanograms per litre (ng/L) in runoff water and 13,000 ng/L in surface water in the Lower Fraser Valley in BC.[52] These levels are well below the maximum allowable concentration (MAC) for the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality of 280,000 ng/L and the Canadian Council of Ministers for the Environment (CCME) Water Quality Guideline of 65,000 ng/L. Glyphosate was not detected in appreciable amounts in any of the other provinces tested.[52]
The main routes of occupational exposure are dermal contact and inhalation.[51]
CAREX Canada estimates that between 37,000 and 55,000 Canadian workers are exposed to glyphosate in the agricultural sector. Exposure among these workers occurs during the mixing, loading, and application of glyphosate, but many more may be exposed during other, farm-related activities through dermal contact with treated crops. Farm types with the largest number of exposed workers are other grain farming, oilseed farming, and dairy cattle and milk production (where glyphosate is applied on crops that are grown to feed livestock).
For more information, see the occupational exposure estimate for glyphosate.
Workers in industries other than agriculture (e.g. utilities, forestry) may also be at risk of exposure to glyphosate.[43,53]
