The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. Chemicals are associated with codes that define their health, physical and environmental hazards.This universal hazard communication system was developed to ensure that employers, employees and consumers are provided with adequate, practical, reliable and comprehensible information on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventive and protective measure for their own health and safety.
The GHS classifications for chemicals associated with products in this database may be viewed by selecting the "Advanced" button on the Chemical Ingredients tables. Since this is a work in progress, GHS classifications may not be shown for all chemical ingredients.
Primary Chemical Name is the standard name assigned to a chemical substance.
Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number is a unique identifier for a chemical and its synonyms. CAS numbers identify the chemical, but not its concentration or specific mixture. CAS Registry Numbers are assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society. For more information: www.cas.org

V8 Supercars chiefs in USA for event talks
By Stefan Bartholomaeus
Wednesday 5th February, 2014 - 4:00am
The V8 Supercars at the Circuit of the Americas last year
V8 Supercars CEO James Warburton and COO Shane Howard are in the United States this week scouting for a second American race to join the 2015 calendar.
The category made its debut on US soil at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, last May and is scheduled to return to the venue next year.
Although the one-year sabbatical is officially taking place due to a date clash with the X Games, the high cost of importing the series is understood to have played a significant role in the pausing of what was touted as a five-year agreement.
Finding a second North American event with which to twin the Austin 400 would be highly desirable for both parties.
COTA vice-president Steve Sexton publicly threw his support behind the concept during the inaugural event.
The likelihood of securing a second US fixture appears to have been boosted by the growing relationship established between V8 Supercars and US business mogul Roger Penske.
Having met with category officials during one of multiple visits to Australia last year, Penske is understood to have provided several introductions for Warburton and Howard's seven-day trip.
V8 Supercars has naturally been linked to the Belle Isle IndyCar Grand Prix event which Penske promotes, while venues understood to be on this week's itinerary include the formerly Penske-owned Auto Club Speedway's road course in California.
A V8 Supercars spokesman confirmed to Speedcafe.com that Warburton and Howard are currently in the USA on a fact-finding mission, but declined to be drawn on details.
The championship has made no secret of its desire to increase its international footprint however, with Warburton speaking bullishly upon the announcement of the Australasian-only 2014 V8 Supercars calendar.
"The first Austin 400 was an enormous success at all levels and a tremendous platform to build into the future; in conjunction with developing an extensive international strategy for 2015 and beyond," he said at the time.
"The prospects are virtually limitless; there is that much potential in the sport."
The extent of Penske's future involvement in V8 Supercars meanwhile will likely remain a key talking point throughout the coming year.
Following the appearance of Penske Racing president Tim Cindric at December's Sydney 500, Penske told media last month that he could be ready for a team-based commitment as early as 2015.
Such a move, however, will likely depend on Ford and its yet-to-be-determined position on developing a new Blue Oval product for the category beyond the current Falcon.
Although an announcement of a deal between Ford Performance Racing and the now Penske-distributed Western Star trucks raised eyebrows in some quarters last week, such agreements are unlikely to be accurate pointers towards deeper ties.
The Penske Automotive Group's Australian trucking interests also include the distributorship of MAN, which is represented in V8 Supercars by FPR's arch rival team Red Bull Racing Australia.

Covid: UK reports record 1,564 daily deaths
Posted by ScotFree | Jan 14, 2021 | Health | 0 |

A further 1,564 people have died in the UK within 28 days of a positive Covid test – the biggest figure reported in a single day since the pandemic began.
It brings the total number of deaths by that measure to 84,767.
Dr Yvonne Doyle, medical director at Public Health England, said there have now been more deaths in the second wave than the first.
And the prime minister warned there was a "very substantial" risk of intensive care capacity being "overtopped".
Speaking to the Commons Liaison Committee, Boris Johnson said the situation was "very, very tough" in the NHS and the strain on staff was "colossal".
He appealed to the public to follow lockdown rules, which require people in England to stay at home and only go out for limited reasons, such as for food shopping, exercise, or work if they cannot do so from home.
Similar measures are in place across much of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
A further 47,525 new cases have also been recorded.
Perhaps the most distressing element about the latest Covid deaths is that the numbers are almost certainly going to rise from here.
People who are dying now are likely to have been infected three or so weeks ago, around Christmas time.
That was at a point when infection rates were rising quite steeply, so in the coming days and weeks we should, sadly, expect to see more deaths than this being reported.
Today's figures are affected by the weekend, which sees delays in reporting deaths that tend to translate into higher figures from Tuesday onwards.
Currently around 1,000 people a day on average are dying once you take this into account.
But the figures also provide some hope. For the third day in a row the number of newly diagnosed infections are well below 50,000.
There have been several days where they have exceeded 60,000.
If that trend continues, and the number of new cases keeps coming down, that will eventually translate into the number of deaths falling.
But it is going to take some weeks for that to happen.
These are, as many have been saying, the darkest days of the pandemic so far.
Labour's Sir Keir Starmer called for tougher restrictions in England, asking why they were weaker in this lockdown compared with March.
During the first lockdown, nurseries were closed to most children and it was not permitted to exercise with someone from another household.
"We keep things under constant review," Mr Johnson replied. "If there is any need to toughen up restrictions – which I don't rule out – we will of course come to this House."
He stressed that it was early days, but said: "The lockdown measures we have in place combined with tier four measures that we were using are starting to show signs of some effect."
Later, asked by the Commons Liaison Committee whether schools could reopen after February half-term, Mr Johnson said: "It is far, far too early for us to say [early signs of progress mean] we can go into any kind of relaxation in the middle of February, we've got to work very hard to achieve that."
media captionBoris Johnson took questions from MPs on the Commons Liaison Committee
The number of people in the UK who have received the first dose of a vaccine has risen to 2,639,309 – up by 207,661 from the day before.
Commenting on the latest daily figures, PHE's Dr Doyle said: "With each passing day, more and more people are tragically losing their lives to this terrible virus."
She added: "It is essential that we stay at home, minimise contact with other people and act as if you have the virus."
The vast majority of the deaths reported on Tuesday happened over the past week. However, at least 100 were in 2020, with one death dating back to May.
The previous highest daily death toll was on Friday, when 1,325 people were reported to have died.
These government figures count people who died within 28 days of testing positive, but there are other ways of measuring the total number of deaths.
When all deaths where coronavirus is mentioned on the death certificate are counted, plus deaths known to have occurred more recently, the number of deaths involving Covid in the UK is more than 100,000.
Another method is to count excess deaths – all deaths over and above the usual number at the time of year.
media captionJohnson: "We are taking steps to ensure that we do not see the import of this new variant".
Meanwhile, the prime minister has said he is "concerned" about a new coronavirus variant that is believed to have emerged in Brazil. He acknowledged it is not yet clear how effective existing vaccines will be against the latest new variant.
The UK is taking steps to make sure it is not brought into the country, Mr Johnson said.
A government Covid committee is meeting on Thursday to discuss the possibility of stopping flights from Brazil.
Arrivals from Brazil already have to self-isolate for 10 days. And from Friday, anyone arriving in the UK from any country will have to present a negative Covid test.

The Office – "Secretary's Day"
"Secretary's Day"
If there were a single quality that defines The Office at its most enjoyable, it is "earnest." When the show starts heading into the territory of cruel, it is able to survive so long as it remains earnest about it. The show can feature embarrassing and often cringe-worthy moments, and it can have characters do things which are ultimately south of decent, but so long as there is a sense of earnestness in their actions, or their intentions, or even their realizations regarding their behaviour, I'm generally okay with it. When the show goes for earnest without bothering with cruel, it is at its emotional best; when it uses earnest to temper the cruelty, it's pretty solid.
"Secretary's Day" ultimately falls into the latter category, but in a season which has been on the inconsistent side I'd say that's nonetheless a good step for the show. There's some solid negotiation of the new corporate engagement and some fun office dynamics mixed in with an earnest (and dramatically complex) Erin/Andy story, which is the sort of dynamism that has been missing from the show as of late.

The Office – "Murder"
The best thing about The Office is that its silliest episodes can sometimes be its most effective. An episode like "Cafe Disco" last season was the perfect way to break through the tension of the Michael Scott Paper Company period, devolving into a dance party that helped to bring everyone back together albeit through a less than serious structure. While the show can go off the rails if things become too silly, there is something very honest about situations where the silliness is the result of a human response to a crisis, or to a period of tension. Michael Scott is not the only person in the world who doesn't like tense situations, although he may be the only one who decides to turn his office into a dance party or, as we see in "Murder," the scene of a vicious murder.
What makes the episode work is that it continues a couple of ongoing character trends (Jim slowly turning into Michael, Andy's interest in Erin) in an episode that otherwise devolves into the office's crazier characters overacting their way through a murder mystery in a box while the rest of the characters contemplate some major financial restructuring. It's a good introduction to what seems like the next major arc for the series, and I think it's an effective piece of television comedy in the process.

The Office – "Mafia"
The Office is a show that is going to have its share of filler episodes, moving between larger storylines (like last week's wedding) and the next major storyline. Sometimes these focus on the day-to-day of the office environment, which is often quite fun for how it brings out the supporting characters more carefully. However, sometimes they're episodes like "Mafia," which play out very simple ideas in a way that is minimalist to a fault.
It's not that the show doesn't work when it slows down like this, but it needs for something to be particularly interesting or clever for me to buy it. This episode had the potential for Michael to go completely overboard, which isn't my favourite character trait, but instead he just kind of sat there passively experiencing the whole episode. It makes sense that an episode that has both Jim and Pam (two huge parts of the office's dynamic) missing, and in which Michael has nothing but creative space and free time scheduled for the day, is going to feel a bit lackadaisical, but at the same time it seemed like there was a pay-off that just never came in this one.

Season Premiere: The Office – "Gossip"
When The Office premiered last year, it was with an hour-long episode which broke a number of rules in terms of pacing and everything else. That was an episode that was about establishing a relationship between Michael and Holly, and about emphasizing the impact of Michael and Pam's time apart on their relationship. When the latter story came to a climactic moment at the end of the episode, it felt wholly earned, and really made the episode stand out as likely the show's best premiere to date.
"Gossip" is not interested in doing any of that, really. If "Weight Loss" was a complex game of parkour designed to get from Point A to Point B in the most inventive and complex fashion (with its various time periods and the weigh-ins to provide a sense of progression over the summer months), then this year's premiere is a far simpler equation. The episode's Point A is Jim and Pam keeping her pregnancy a secret, and the Point B is the office finding out about said pregnancy, and Paul Lieberstein's goal as a writer is to get there in a strong twenty-one minute segment of comedy.
And by keeping things simple, the show creates an engaging and funny premiere, one which doesn't aim for the heights of last year nor does it really need to. By drawing comedy out of a very simple but well executed concept that plays to Michael Scott's strengths as a character (and thus faults as a human being), we get a story that takes a common workplace element (gossip, clearly) and lets it loose in a group of characters we know and love.
It isn't rocket science, and that's what makes it work so well: this isn't a show that needs bells and whistles, or one-hour premieres, to make me laugh. And while I might like The Office best when Michael is given a bit more credit, the episode walked that fine line with great success for a wholly satisfying (if not mind-blowing) premiere.

The Office – "Cafe Disco"
"Cafe Disco"
About halfway through "Cafe Disco," I admittedly wasn't amused: here we are a week out from the half-hour finale (which is a move away from the one-hour finales we have been getting for the past few seasons), and the show is spending its time on the most throwaway of episodes. Not only that, but it appears as if the episode is going to be my least favourite kind of episode, where it boils down to Michael being incompetent, Pam and Jim having their dreams crushed, and Dwight and Michael both being so irresponsible that they're unwilling to give someone proper medical attention.
In the end, though, I was really charmed by the episode, even if it was limited by its lack of scale: the episode never devolved into demeaning Michael, or Dwight being incompetent, or Jim and Pam losing their will to love. Rather, the episode was pretty much like one big stretching exercise for the cast, a chance for them to let loose on the dance floor before having to film the, likely, emotional and powerful finale. I had a lot of fun with the back end of the episode, and much as the epoynmous coffee shop/dance club got off to a slow start but was eventually a hit with everyone involved, I ended up liking this one.

The Office – "Lecture Circuit Part 1"
"Lecture Circuit"
Only four days after I was admittedly frustrated by an hour long episode, we have a unique test of my concerns in "Lecture Circuit," the first of two parts of the same basic episode. What we have, essentially, is an hour long episode split into two parts: we leave most of our storylines at a cliffhanger, and it's clear that we're picking this up next week.
As the first half of an hour long episode, this was actually a very well containted episode that despite never really grasping at resolutions nonetheless offers a logical buildup to next week's conclusion. The episode paces itself very logically: it's a slow build, and one that isn't really concerned about breaking new ground, but I enjoyed it for precisely that reason. While the hour-long Super Bowl episode was far funnier, and ultimately the better example of the show's comic potential, it's nice to be able to sit back and spend some time with the characters.

Working Towards a Better Tomorrow
We are a registered 501(c)(3) that launched in October of 2009. Toledo Streets was founded as a part of 1Matters.org (a non profit that organizes Tent City and much more). The street paper was established to build a safe community that works to break the cycle of poverty and empower entrepreneurs.
After 5 years as a branch of 1Matters.org, Toledo Streets grew to become it's own organization. We are part of a global street paper movement of over 110 papers in 35 countries, all with the same goal of giving our communities a program to lift individuals out of poverty through work. Our Vendors are self-contracted business owners who set their goals and schedules while adhering to the code of conduct.
Each Vendor starts with 10 free papers, then invest $0.25 per paper after that with a suggested donation of $1. Vendors keep all profits. The paper is our backbone, but we are so much more than a paper. We are a community, a resource, a training center, and a voice for those who don't have one.

I get asked so many times about skincare products both on and offline. I am proud to say, one part of my body that I'm extremely proud of is my skin --- not because they're perfect. But because I take care of it through the years investing on products that works for me, it's actually one reason how this Blog started. In my quest for good skincare regimen.
My friends can attest to it that whenever they ask for recommendations for anti-aging skincare line, I always mention Estee Lauder because I know it really works! (Estee Lauder for anti-aging, Clinique for basic skincare).
Which particular Estee Lauder product you ask? It pays to visit them and have your skin analyzed, but here are just some of the many Estee Lauder products I've used and found effective through the years. Are you ready?
Let's start with the ones I've used multiple times, this is actually my 3rd bottle! The Estee Lauder Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment Lotion (Php3,220.00 for 50ml).
Micro and mighty. This groundbreaking essence-in-lotion activates and strengthens skin's foundation to reveal its youthful, angelic glow.MICRO TARGETED: penetrates deeply and rapidly within skin's surface to renew and rebalance.MICRO NOURISHING: delivers a precise concentration of exclusive Micro-Nutrient Bio-Ferment to nourish and energize.MICRO ACTIVE: Activates multiple natural pro-youth abilities to replenish skin.
I used to think this is a useless product as I don't see immediate results after finishing up the first bottle. After using the 2nd, I realized how this product helps keep my skin more hydrated, smoother and soft! I tried not using it for awhile and the difference that I saw is how I needed to spritz on moisture midday more often than using such product.
Expect this to feel like applying water on your face! If you want to control the amount to use on your skin, apply with a cotton pad, as for me, I like pouring a good amount on my clean hands, massage on my face and gently pat to keep warm until the product gets absorbed completely. My face is soft, so as my hands!
Powerful nighttime renewal for radiant, youthful-looking skin. Instantly adds radiance. Intensely hydrates.Tested and proven: Advanced Night Repair dramatically reduces the look of all key signs of aging.
This is also just one of the many few Estee Lauder products that I've purchased and repurchased for both me and my mom-in-law. This is the type of serum that I use even ALONE on nights I'm too lazy to do more than 2 steps!
If I MUST just pick ONE Estee Lauder skincare product, you may start with this one as it works for ALL skin types! I like how the texture is smooth and gets absorbed into skin without the greasy and oily feel. So I prefer to use this over any thick moisturizers anytime of the day especially during summer time!
Repairs past visible damage around the eyes.
Silky serum-gel helps dramatically reduce the look of every visible key sign of aging.
Diminishes the effects of lines, wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles.
Some of you probably heard it so many times from me whenever they ask me for an eye cream that really REALLY works --- this is the only name I mention. I always say, pull out all your beauty budget and purchase this! This eye product really works I'm a believer! How did I know?
Let's just say, I stopped using this for awhile when I got pregnant, gave birth and breastfed my son. The distinct line around the eye area actually returned (with vengeance)!
Because of this, I can actually wear different kinds of concealers without having to worry on them settling into wrinkles and fine lines!
" Rosy Prism™ Radiant Gel Emulsion left 99% of women's skin feeling immediately hydrated while, after using for four weeks, 95% of women said their skin looked healthier, softer and smoother."
I've written a full review on this product HERE. This is one of my most favorite Estee Lauder moisturizer because of the texture. It is perfect for our humid weather. I love the gel-like texture with rosy scent! This feels so good on every application I actually look forward to it!
I know gels are meant for users with oily skin but guess what? I have dry skin and it works just as well! This is also a great makeup base because it smoothens the skin instantly! The product sits into lines and dry patches and create an even base ready for makeup application too!
Well, this is not exactly new but it is a first for me to try out this product, the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm (Php2,160.00).
What it is formulated to do:Micro-purifying. Micro-revitalizing. This lightweight balm melts into a silky cleansing oil as you massage over skin, then transforms with water into a milky emulsion that rinses easily for a clean, conditioned feel. It removes makeup and impurities, including pollution, as it purifies within skin's surface to create an overall healthy look.
They mean it when they say the product is lightweight. This is housed in a rounded glass packaging that is quite heavy (which I like). All you need to do is the use this before washing your face at night. I like to grab a handful and gently massage on my fully made-up face. The balm is emollient and can melt makeup (even waterproof ones!) . I find this product to be more effective especially if you like the quick massages at night and how it felt luxurious especially on users with drier complexion. But don't mark my word for it, it works even for those with oily skin as oily skin users tend to overuse oil-control products and at the end of the day, the skin is extremely dry on the interior with a film of oil on the exterior. This balm can actually help "balance" the skin by adding moisture to areas that are dehydrated and control oil on areas that is greasy like T-zone.
I know, it's complicated but at the end of the day, this product works! I like using this on days I have heavier makeup on.
So far, that's it! I have a couple more Estee Lauder products to recommend but so far, these are a few of my favorite E.L products! What's yours?
Pore perfecting serum is the bomb.

Ron DeSantis Mask Order Leads Disney to Evaluate Regulations at Florida Theme Parks
By Soo Kim On 5/4/21 at 10:30 AM EDT
News Coronavirus Florida Disney Ron DeSantis
Florida's Disney World theme parks are evaluating their current COVID-19 safety guidelines in place following new legislation signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that suspended all remaining local government COVID-19 mandates and restrictions, including mask requirements.
DeSantis issued two new executive orders "suspending all local emergency orders until July 1, 2021, at which point local orders will be permanently invalidated," the governor's office said in a statement Monday.
Private businesses, such as theme parks and hospitals, are still able to impose their restrictions.
According to a pop-up message on the My Disney Experience mobile app, Disney World said: "We are aware of the state of Florida's plans announced today to modify COVID-19 guidelines. We will evaluate this latest guidance and maintain our current health and safety measures at this time, including face covering requirements."
A screenshot of the message was shared Monday by Jason Cochran, the author of the Frommer's Disney travel guide.
The pop-up message read: "We will continue to make thoughtful adjustments to our policy. As COVID-19 vaccines become available, we encourage people to become vaccinated."

Disney World Customers Spit on Workers Who Told Them to Follow Safety Rules
Alongside the screenshot, Cochran tweeted: "Translation: 'Sit down, Ron DeSantis. We'll decide what's good for our business, not you.' We know who has the real power in Florida."
At a press conference Monday, the governor stated: "In terms of what a supermarket or some of them choose to do, a Disney theme park, this [the latest legislation] does not deal with that one way or another.
"It's simply emergency orders and emergency penalties on individual businesses," DeSantis said.
The Disney World website currently advises: "Acceptable face coverings must be worn over your nose and mouth at all times, except in designated areas. If you're unable to do this, please consider rescheduling your Walt Disney World Resort visit to a later time."
Newsweek has contacted Disney and the Florida Health Department for comment.
A statewide mask mandate was not issued in Florida but local mask orders have been in place in some parts, including in Orange County (home to the Disney World theme parks in Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista) as well as in the counties of Miami-Dade and Broward (where Fort Lauderdale is located).
Last September, DeSantis issued an executive order barring individuals from being fined for not wearing masks. He also lifted restrictions on businesses such as restaurants, which were allowed to operate at 50 percent capacity.
The governor said at the time: "Every business has the right to operate. Some of the locals can do reasonable regulations. But you can't just say no."
The latest legislation (Senate Bill 2006) also "prohibits indefinite lockdowns" and bans COVID-19 vaccine passports requiring proof of vaccination, DeSantis tweeted Monday.
The bill allows the governor to "invalidate a local emergency order if it unnecessarily restricts individual rights or liberties" and also "improves Florida's emergency planning for future public health emergencies," the governor's office said.
The mayors for Miami-Dade County and Orange County have spoken out against the governor's latest measures.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said in a statement Monday: "I'm deeply concerned by this decision. We are still in a public health emergency and our economy has not fully rebounded from crisis. Fewer than half of our residents have been vaccinated, and we face a growing threat from variants.
"I urge our community to continue using common sense to prevent the spread of the virus and most importantly, to get vaccinated—our best and only path forward to truly put the pandemic behind us," he added.
In a statement Monday, Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings said: "In review of the governor's executive orders, I am not surprised."
"I want Orange County residents to know that I will continue to make decisions in the best interest of their health, safety and welfare and will not wait on the governor to tell me what to do," the statement added.
The latest orders issued by DeSantis come as total confirmed cases in Florida approach 2.3 million, with 35,307 total reported deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.
Over 15.5 million total COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered across the state, according to the latest report Monday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

To be up to date with the latest information in the beekeeping industry to may check out our apiculture latest news. On the other hand if you are beginning beekeeping and would like to start professional apiculture today get a copy of our beekeeping for beginners ebook.
Beekeeping, like every other action, has its dos and don'ts. Start beekeeping generally involves the needed gear and buying bees. Yet, some people who are beginning this avocation generally make several mistakes. It is acceptable to make mistakes, which article can help new beekeepers prevent making the exact same mistakes others have before.
1. Not knowing the best time to start a beekeeping company or hobby can end up being a calamity. It may lead to a lack of your bees and cash. Since most bees perish during the winter winter is the worst possible time to start. This would compel a beekeeper to buy a new mountain of bees, which would cost more money. Autumn is another poor time since there are fewer flowers, hence a smaller number of honey picked, to start beekeeping. The best time to start beekeeping is during summer, which will be the time of the year where there are loads of blooms that are blooming.
2. Purchasing used gear and old books. That is a standard error made by many start beekeepers. It is clear that one would desire to conserve money as much as possible, but purchasing used gear and old beekeeping publications is not a good thought. First, used gear can come with "familial" difficulties. The extractor factory outlet might have a flow, or the uncapping knife mightn't be sharp enough to uncap all the wax in one go. This would certainly change the quality of one's honey, which isn't an ideal situation especially if a beekeeper is intending to commence a honey-selling business. Second, out-of-date info can be provided by old books on beekeeping. One might be stuck using the traditional approach when there are quicker and better ways manufacture honey and to maintain beehives.
3. Refraining from buying protective gear. Think relating to this. If one does not wear protective equipment when handling the hives and amassing the honeycombs, he/she'll most likely come out as a pincushion with all the bee stingers. Protective equipment is pricey, yes, but it'll help beekeepers avoid spending medical bills from all the bee stings.
These three blunders happen to be presented here to help future beekeepers avoid them. It's a good idea to consult with a specialist beekeeper before getting started beekeeping. If buying a certain thing appears too expensive, consistently consider the ending cost ( in case that they don't purchase this item now, will it cost them more later on?). Ultimately, it truly is up to the person to decide the best plan of action.

More insights on the extent of COVID-19 among asymptomatics and false positive PCR testing rates
Here is an up-to-date table of results from the Cambridge University study of asymptomatics since the start of 2021 (see previous report and commentary).
The testing is pooled PCR testing whereby, instead of separately testing each sample, several samples are combined and the pooled sample is tested. If a pooled sample tests positive then each individual sample from the pool is re-tested for confirmation.
Since the start of 2021 there have been 32,819 tests on asymptomatic students. Only 8 were confirmed positive. So less than 1 in 4000 people without symptoms (when tested) had the virus and we do not know how many of those went on to develop symptoms (it is possible none of them did).
There were 31 false positives in 13,873 pools tested. So the false positive rate is about 0.22%.
Of the 39 positives only 8 were confirmed, meaning that if an asymptomatic person gets a positive PCR test result, there is only a 20.5% chance the person has the virus.
While less than 1 in 4000 without symptoms has the virus, about 1 in 447 people without symptoms who get a PCR test wrongly test positive. Hence, mass testing of asymptomatic people may be creating unnecessary anxiety, with minimal benefit at enormous cost.
This study provides useful information about the false positive rate of PCR testing – but only for asymptomatics tested under very careful conditions. The 0.22% false positive rate likely represents a lower bound for asymptomatics tested. We know nothing from this study about the false positive rate for people with (COVID-like) symptoms but, given the nature of the PCR test, it is certain to be much higher especially given the evidence about reporting positives for a single gene since Sept 2020.
Taking account of the Government reported COVID-19 'case numbers' this data exposes the much repeated claim that "1 in 3 people with the virus has no symptoms" as a massive exaggeration (see proof). In a paper we are near to completing we show that what MIGHT be true is that "1 in 3 people who test positive have no symptoms". But, because of false positives, that's very different to the claim that "1 in 3 people with the virus have no symptoms".
And a reminder that "1 in 3 people with the virus have no symptoms" is NOT the same as "1 in 3 people with no symptoms have the virus" (transposed conditional fallacy). But because many assume these are equal it is possible that the messaging was deliberate to scare people even more.
It is also important to note that people who argue that the false positive rates must be less than 0.1% because in the summer of 2020 fewer than 0.1% of those tested were positive, fail to understand the following: during that period there was no mass testing and, because the virus had mostly gone then, it is likely that any positive test was subject to confirmatory testing (which, incidentally, was originally supposed to happen routinely). Assuming independence between tests – and assuming asymptomatics are being tested - this means (assuming a 0.22% single test false positive rate) that the 'overall' false positive rate would have been 0.000484% if all positives had been subject to a confirmatory test. For more on this see here.
In fact uncertainty about the extent of any confirmatory testing being done is one of the most important missing features in the debate about 'case numbers'. Suppose, for example, authority A reports 'cases' on the basis of a single positive test result, while authority B reports 'cases' only on the basis of a confirmed positive test result. Then even if exactly the same testing process is carried out (with say an average false positive rate of 0.4% on any single test) and both authorities had exactly the same population size 500,000 and nobody with the virus, Authority A would be reporting 8 'confirmed cases' while Authority B would be reporting 2,000 'confirmed cases'. If Authority C carried out confirmatory testing on 50% of the positives then they would be reporting 1,004 'confirmed cases'. So you could be seeing anything between 8 and 2,000 'confirmed cases' that are acually false positives depending simply on what percentage are subject to confirmatory testing. And the same applies to 'the false positive rate' which could be anything between 0.00016% and 0.4%.
Hence, any data about about 'cases', 'positive test results' and 'false positive rates' that fails to make explicit the extent of confirmatory testing ' are essentially useless.

Renewable energy outlook
Argentina has exceptional solar resources in most of the north west of its territory, from Mendoza to Jujuy, with an average annual global horizontal irradiance of more than 2,600KWh/m², well above the averages in the world's leading solar energy markets such as Germany and Spain.
Also, more than two-thirds of Argentina's territory enjoys wind regimes with average speeds between 6m/s and 10m/s, which ensures the country's suitability for harbour high-yield wind power projects.
With the aim of attracting foreign investment and increasing the energy generation infrastructure, the government of Argentina has set an aggressive target to reach 20 per cent renewable energy by 2025, a tenfold increase from the current 2 per cent of power supply through renewable energy.
With the enactment of laws No. 27,191 and No. 26,190, Argentina launched a national regime for the promotion of renewable sources of energy for power production, which includes anticipated value added tax returns, accelerated amortisation and extended tax carry-forward periods, exemption from import duties, minimum deemed income tax and dividend tax under certain conditions, tax deductions for financial expenses, tax credits of local capital expenditures and the creation of a fund to provide diverse subsidies for photovoltaic producers, as well as for biogas, biomass, geothermal, hydro and wind energy projects.
This renewable energy programme is expected to generate up to US$5 billion in Argentina's photovoltaic energy sector alone over the next five years.
Along with this renewed impetus for foreign investment in infrastructure projects like these, Argentina's new Civil and Commercial Code, in force since 1 August 2015, introduced a new type of real property that offers great flexibility for project-structuring and financing, and may become an essential tool for infrastructure projects such as windmills and solar farms (and, with the appropriate regulatory framework, pipeline transportation, industrial plant constructions and commercial real estate projects), reducing costs of acquisition and creating new types security interest for long-term lending, such as surface mortgages or securitisation of surface assets.
The surface right
Under the new Civil and Commercial Code of the Republic of Argentina, the surface right is a real property right whereby its owner is entitled to build or plant on the surface of a third party's land, and to use, exploit and dispose of such right. It is a real property, separate and coexisting with the land property right. A surface right can also be mortgaged or otherwise encumbered as a guarantee. It may be created by contract, for a period of up to 70 years (50 in the case of plantation surface right), over both private and public real estate.
The right over the surface existed in Roman law, where it was used mainly to allow private citizens to build in-state property; thus, in its origin, it was a right of public law contract. The Roman surface right could be perpetual or long-term. Improvement of public land was the duty of the populus or the municipium, or the private landowner in the case of a private plot of land, by application of the principle of accession to the land (superficie solo cedit). In both cases, the rights of the surface owner were subject to the payment of a ground rent.
In the Middle Ages, the surface right was extended to plantations, which may be considered an early form of project structuring, and in certain cases the principle of accession was segregated from the landowner during the term of the surface right. Thereafter, the Napoleonic Code of 1804 completely disregarded the surface right, as one of France's intentions was to promote private property without restrictions, limitations or terms of duration.
Similar to various 19th century civil codes influenced by the Napoleonic Code, the Argentine Civil Code of 1869 deliberately omitted the surface right, as acknowledged by its author in an annotation to the Code stating that there was no place for the surface right in that Code, as it was viewed as detrimental to real estate in general and a potential source of conflict between landowner and surface owner.
In Germany, the surface right was introduced in 1919 in order to facilitate the reconstruction of cities devastated by World War I. Notably, the surface right in that case was perpetual, without a time limit, but used only for public buildings.
The surface right currently exists in similar forms in other legislations, including, among various jurisdictions, Belgium, France, Italy, Japan, Peru, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland. In 2001, pursuant to a special law, No. 25,509, Argentina created a type of surface right limited to forestry projects only, which has now been abrogated and replaced by the provisions of the new Civil and Commercial Code.

The surface right may be established for a period of up to 70 years in the case of construction surface rights, and 50 years in the case of forestry or plantation surface rights. This is a maximum term that may not be extended. However, a surface right established for a shorter period may be renewed successively until the maximum applicable term is met. Also, if the surface right title does not specify a term of duration, it will be deemed to last for the maximum legal term.
The surface right is a real right that derives from the property right. It is therefore granted or created by the landowner through a public deed and registered in the competent local (provincial) property registry. It may be made and acquired for a price or gratuitously, for no consideration. A surface right may not be created by mandate in a will; however, the heirs of the surface owner may acquire an existing surface right by operation of Argentina's inheritance rules.
It may be created on a vacant, clear, surface of land, or on existing constructions, installations, plantations or forests. Thus, an existing infrastructure project, such as a photovoltaic power station or wind farm, may be transferred to a third party through the creation of a surface right, and subsequently mortgaged or conveyed into trust for financing or guaranty purposes (without affecting the landowner right over the residual property not subject to surface right).
Extent of the surface rights
The surface right may be established over the surface, subsoil and air of an entire plot of land or a section of the same. Thus, various surface rights may be created simultaneously or subsequently on a same-land unit, provided that the surface assigned to each surface right is separate and does not overlap with the other surface rights. Moreover, the coexistence of two or more surface rights in a same plot of land must be compatible in relation to their purposes. Therefore, a second surface right may not be created if its purpose is incompatible or interferes with the object of the pre-existing surface right. This may enhance the possibility for financing different projects or constructions on a same plot of land, by isolating two or more coexisting projects with different financing terms and amortisation periods.
The creation or transfer of a surface right over a private land is perfected with the signature of the deed of surface right, and such right becomes enforceable with regard to third parties upon its registration in the corresponding local (provincial) property registry. However, in the case of surface rights over public (state) land, such registration is necessary for its perfection of the surface right. The same criteria apply to the transfer of conveyance of surface rights. The creation of a mortgage is always subject to registration in the corresponding local (provincial) registry.
Registration requirements may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, while the city of Buenos Aires requires that the registration include a cadastral survey or plan issued by a licences cadastral engineer, the registry of the Province of Buenos Aires accepts a simple plan of the surface subject to the surface right, thus resulting in a lower cost of registration.
During the term of the surface right, the surface owner is the sole owner of any building, installation, infrastructure or plantation made or existing on the land, subject to the surface right.
The surface owner is entitled to use, enjoy, exploit and transfer the surface right and its construction and plantation, and create security interests over the surface right, such as a mortgage. The surface owner may exercise its rights over the surface of the land assigned to it, as well as its subsoil and air space, but only to the extent necessary for the exercise of the purposes of the surface right.
The surface owner may also convey the surface right into a trust under Argentine law, in which case the trustee shall become the fiduciary owner of the surface right and so is registered in the corresponding local (provincial) property registry.
The surface right terminates upon: (i) the expiration of its contractual term or the maximum legal term (70 years for construction surface rights); (ii) the occurrence of a condition subsequent agreed by the parties; (iii) the waiver of right by the surface owner; (iv) consolidation of landowner and surface owner; (v) the use of the surface right for purposes other than those contemplated in the deed of surface right; and (vi) the absence of use of the surface right during a statutory grace period (10 years for construction projects, five years for plantation surfaces). The surface rights revert to the landowner free and clear of any encumbrance only in the case of a termination by elapsing of its term. In all other cases, any lease, mortgage or other right imposed on the surface right shall continue to be in force in accordance with its terms. In such cases, the surface right and the property right will continue to exist only for the purposes of fulfilling such surviving rights or security interests, until all such third-party rights are extinguished or terminated in accordance with their own terms and conditions.
The statutory grace period for the mandatory use of the surface land is another legal provision that provides great flexibility for proper structuring and financing of any project. Long before becoming legally required to use the surface right or commence construction or plantation, a surface right owner may transfer its real property title, contribute it in kind, convey it into a trust, mortgage the surface title and create other security interests over the surface right.
Unless otherwise agreed by the landowner and the surface owner in the deed of surface right, the surface right is not extinguished or terminated in case of destruction of the construction or plantation, if the surface owner rebuilds the construction within a period of six years (three years for plantations). This obligation, as well as the obligation to use the surface right, are inherent to the surface right title; thus, the grace periods for use or reconstruction will continue to lapse in case of transfer of title to a third party or trust, mortgage or other security interest.
Upon termination of the surface right, the surface owner shall be entitled to compensation payment from the landowner for the value of the construction or plantation received. The parties may agree on the amount to be paid or criteria for its valuation, including the transfer of such construction or plantation without compensation to the surface owner. In the absence of any such contractual arrangement, the law provides that the payment to be made to the surface owner is the amount of any additions made to the surface during the last two years of the surface right term, minus depreciation. This is another flexible provision of the Civil and Commercial Code, as it allows the parties to agree to any terms, including its absence, in relation to indemnification in favour of the surface owner.
Due to the novelty of this real property right, federal and provincial tax laws have not legislated expressly on taxable events involving surface rights. As a matter of interpretation, taxes in Argentina may not be applied by analogy. Nevertheless, the parties will be subject to federal income tax for any income derived from the transactions involving a surface right, such as the payment of compensation to the landlord or an indemnification to the surface owner. Also, by application of the general rules of Argentine federal income tax, if the creation or transfer of the surface rights constitutes an isolated act of the landowner, any income derived from such transaction shall not be subject to Argentine income tax.
Tax on transfer of real estate has not been modified to include the creation and transfer of surface rights. This is a tax payable by the 'seller' of the real estate, but since taxation may not be applied by analogy, it is, at the time of writing, not applicable to transactions involving surface rights.
With respect to stamp tax (a local tax that is levied on written documents containing a contract or transaction with economic value), its application shall be analysed on a case-by-case basis, because each province of Argentina issues its own stamp tax law. The City of Buenos Aires has, nevertheless, confirmed to the Board of Notaries that stamp tax at the rate of 1 per cent shall apply to the creation of surface rights.
The surface right contemplated in Argentina's new Civil and Commercial Code constitutes a legal tool that may be used in all type of investment and infrastructure transactions involving real property. Argentina's surface right regulations are broad and flexible, affording the parties room for negotiation in significant terms and conditions, including extensive terms of duration, conditions for construction and termination, consideration and indemnification upon expiration, as well as the creation of security interest over the constructed infrastructure. In spite of its novelty, it is likely to become a tool for the structuring of projects that rely on the use of third-party real estate surface, such as solar and wind energy projects.

McFaul's Russia Mission
By Citizen M | Published: January 12, 2012
Washington's new ambassador to Russia, reset-architect Michal McFaul, was sworn in on Tuesday. US-Russia relations have certainly taken a bit of a beating of late. In December, Hillary Clinton faced verbal excoriation from Vladimir Putin for her stance on the protest movement. In addition to this, missile defense remains unresolved, the situation in Syria is a nexus of East/West disagreement, and despite some flexibility in its verbal stance on Iran, Moscow remains resolute in opposing sanctions. So how will McFaul, who was a special assistant to the President on Russian and Eurasian affairs, fare on his Russian 'adventure' as Clinton puts it? Many have taken the nomination of the Stamford Professor as a sign that Obama is committed to re-galvanising the reset. Dan Peleschuk from Russia Profile considers the sixth ambassador's credentials, and whether these will be enough to make a difference to bilateral relations in the tense pre-election period:
[…] McFaul has amassed a wealth of contacts and built solid relationships with his Russian counterparts. Having spent sporadic periods living, studying and working in both the Soviet Union and Russia, he has firsthand experience in building workable contacts with top political players in Russia throughout the past 20 years. McFaul is so familiar and respected in Russian circles that when Obama informed President Dmitry Medvedev of his selection last year, Clinton said, the Russian president reportedly answered, "Of course. He's a tough negotiator."
For this reason, many have hailed McFaul as the ideal candidate. And according to Matthew Rojansky, the deputy director of the Russia and Eurasia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, McFaul has proven himself a worthy ally on both sides of the fence. "You could see how seriously he takes the responsibility and how well-respected he is not only by his own team from the administration, but by the secretary of state, State Department colleagues, and colleagues throughout government," said Rojansky, who attended McFaul's swearing in ceremony. "You could also see that he has earned respect from the Russian side, including [Russian] Ambassador [Sergey] Kislyak, who was there, and from many of Russia's neighbors."
Yet campaign season has befallen both the United States and Russia, and has inevitably shifted the electorates' focus from foreign to domestic issues. To this end, other experts remain more cautious about McFaul's potential influence. While he is among the most experienced and well-suited men for the job, according to Fyodor Lukyanov, editor in chief of Russia in Global Affairs, McFaul's arrival comes at a touchy time and his work will be limited largely to damage control. "If somebody uses foreign policy issues in an election campaign, it's usually to blame the opposite side – and this is quite common for both countries," he said. "I'm afraid that for ambassadors, this will be quite a difficult period."
