Nolan Carroll II, born January 18th, 1987 in Jacksonville, Florida seemed destined to be an athlete. Even as a younger child Nolan seemed to be all over the house constantly running around. At the age of six, he quickly found a new love for playing soccer at a local YMCA. He was always ready for new challenges among his childhood becoming involved in track and field in elementary school. Growing up however wasn't traditional considering both of his parents were in the military; however, thankfully the majority of their time in the service was in Jacksonville. Nolan attributes his parents regimented parenting style growing up, to his long career in the NFL.
Once he reached Junior high, the opportunities were endless. It was in junior high that Nolan became interested in playing football; simultaneously he also played soccer and ran track in the same school year. Though he was not big in size, he was swift with speed becoming one of the fastest, if not the fastest, high schoolers' in Clay County, Florida where he was coined the nickname "Flash." Nolan received many athletic awards in high school: First place in Florida Crown Conference in track and field, first place winner at the 11th annual Clay County Track and Field Championship 4X400, 100 Meter Dash and 4X100 Meter Relay. He was named Florida Star Conference Athletic Award All Conference for boys track, Clay County Football Super 11 and All County Player and Florida Times Union Super 24 High School Football Player.
He received a full scholarship to the University of Maryland. Drafted as a wide receiver, but found his niche at cornerback. He jumped a vertical of 41.0, which was the third best mark among defensive backs in Maryland's history and ran a 4.42 40 at his Maryland Pro Day. During his last year at the University of Maryland, he suffered a broken leg and was forced to forgo that season. This did not discourage Nolan. Instead, he used this as fuel to advance himself in exercise and health to get stronger, healthier and faster. Nolan was invited to the NFL Combine in 2010- he was impressive and caught the eye of many scouts which landed him invites to workouts with various NFL teams.
Nolan was drafted in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL draft to the Miami Dolphins, where he excelled in his four years with the Dolphins. Nolan started 20 games in his 3 1/2 years with Miami and was a playmaker at all levels: he had 3 interceptions, one forced fumble and 2 QB sacks in his career with the Dolphins. An elite cover corner- among corners that have played at least 50% of their team's snaps in 2011 Nolan ranked 6/69 in completion % at just 47.5! And among corners that have played at least 50% of their team's snaps in the 2013 Nolan ranked 5/69 in missed tackles with just one. In 2013 Nolan lead all Dolphins cornerback in tackle percentage stopping and opposing QB completion percentage. Nolan was one of the top free agent corners available in 2014. In 2014 Nolan made the list of potential pro bowl eligible players.
As a free agent, Nolan signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2014. In 2015 week 6 Nolan was named to "Gruden's Grinder." Nolan shut down Odell Beckham Jr. and had a pick-6 to put the game away. By the 11th game in the 2015 season, before his season ending injury when fellow players fell on and broke Nolan's fibula, Nolan ranked 2nd amongst all NFL cornerbacks with 57 tackles, 10 passes defensed and 2 interceptions including a return for a touchdown. In 2015 Nolan made the list of potential pro bowl eligible players.
In 2016 Nolan established the Nolan Carroll Foundation with a mission to support educational opportunities and promote a healthy lifestyle for today's disadvantaged youths. The foundation is active in many communities throughout the country providing STEM educational opportunities, adopt-a-school support and challenge reading programs to help improve academic achievements among at-risk kids.

Partial Summary of Oil Spills in 2016
Fossil fuels are the primary cause of climate change, they are also prone to spills. Such spills are toxic and they have been a consistent part of the fossil fuel industry since its inception. As long as we extract and transport oil and gas spills are a statistical certainty.
In December, Wired reported that there are about 30,000 oil spills in US waters every year. In October, Hurricane Ivan caused dozens of leaks in undersea oil wells and pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico. Some of these spills will leak for decades. The Taylor Energy site will continue to leak between 84 and 1,470 gallons per day for the next hundred years. The oil slick from this spill stretches over eight square miles on an average day. Taylor Energy has gone bankrupt and they just walked away from the mess they created.
Many spills are covered up by oil companies or under-reported (SkyTruth estimates that spills are at least 13 times bigger than the numbers on record). Those that are reported are often ignored. Spills up to 100,000 gallons are classified by the Coast Guard as "minor or moderate". It is important to understand that even small spills are deadly to marine life. They also represent a health risk for humans. Except in the most extreme and egregious cases, there are no penalties and therefore no incentives for the oil industry to clean up its act.
There are thousands of wells and 2.4 million miles of aging oil pipe infrastructure in the United States alone. In 2015 there were countless oil spills (click here to see a partial list of spills in North America) and in 2016 the sad legacy of fossil fuel industry spills continued. Here is a review of some of those spills in 2016.
On December 5, the Belle Fourche Pipeline pipeline spilled 176,000 gallons of crude oil into the into the Ash Coulee Creek in Billings County, North Dakota. This is about 150 miles from Cannon Ball, where protesters are camped out in opposition to the Dakota Access pipeline (President-Elect Trump has said he supports the pipeline). To make matters worse the creek has frozen over making cleanup operations almost impossible. Water supplies from the creek have been turned off. The Belle Fourche Pipeline Co. is part of the family-owned True companies, which also operates Bridger Pipeline LLC. Like almost every other pipeline company they have a long rap-sheet of spills.
On October 21, there was a pipeline leak in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, involving Sunoco, the company that is behind the Dakota Access Pipeline. An 8 inch pipeline managed by the company leaked 55,000 gallons of gasoline into a major waterway, thereby contaminating the drinking water of some 6 million people in Lancaster County. The gasoline streamed into Wallis Run, a tributary of the Loyalsock Creek that eventually drains into the Susquehanna River, considered to be the third most endangered river in the United States by American Rivers, a non-governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to protecting and preserving rivers around the country. While all pipelines leak, Sunoco Logistics spills crude more often than any of its competitors, having experienced more than 200 leaks since 2010.
On October 9, a 1.2-billion-gallon cooling pond dam at Duke Energy's H.F. Lee plant breached killing millions of chickens at factory farms and contaminating local waterways. The leak in the 120-acre coal ash pond in Goldsboro, North Carolina occurred just minutes after Duke Energy issued a statement claiming that the "Ash basin and cooling pond dams across the state continue to operate safely."
On October 2, 95 metric tons of oil leaked into the North Sea from BP's Clair platform. The leak was 46 miles west of the Shetland Islands. There was no cleanup and a large oil slick was visible from the spill. From 2000 to 2011, there were 4,123 separate oil spills in the North Sea. Oil companies were fined for just seven of them. No single fine was greater than about $25,000.
On September 24, a fuel tanker in the Gulf of Mexico caught fire and burned for days. The tanker Burgos caught fire about seven nautical miles off the coast of the port city of Boca del Rio, Mexico. The tanker was carrying about 168,000 barrels of gasoline and diesel fuel. At the time of the incident, the Burgos was sailing from Coatzacoalcos in eastern Veracruz state to the Pemex terminal, Port Authority Director Juan Ignacio Fernandez said late Saturday.
On September 16, two states were forced to declare an emergency after a Colonial pipeline spilled more than 6,000 barrels or a quarter million gallons of gasoline in Shelby County, Alabama. Ironically the states of emergency declared in Alabama and Georgia were not associated with the environmental damage from the spill but due to concerns about fuel shortages. There was no cleanup because it was deemed unsafe for workers to be in the vicinity of the spill.
On September 7, an oil pipeline belonging to Summit leaked a million gallons of fluid containing crude oil into a creek that feeds the Missouri River on a native American reservation. The spill was the largest in Minnesota's history was on Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation land approximately 15 miles north of Williston, North Dakota. The leak came from a saltwater collection line owned by Summit Midstream Partners LP. The spill flowed into Bear Den Bay, which leads into Lake Sakakawea, a source of drinking water on the reservation. The fluid flowed into the Missouri River and contaminated fresh water for residents in the surrounding areas.
In July, a pipeline leak near Maidstone, Saskatchewan, spilled about 66,043 gallons or 1,572 barrels of diluted oil sands bitumen into the North Saskatchewan River, killing wildlife and compromising drinking water for nearby communities, including Prince Albert.
On June 21, an oil pipeline belonging to Crimson Pipeline LLC ruptured in Ventura County, California spilling an estimated 29,400 gallons of crude oil into an arroyo that flows through the city of Ventura to the ocean. Ironically the spill occurred just after President Obama signed the PIPES safety bill into law.
On June 2, An oil train derailment and explosion along the Columbia river in Oregon contaminated drinking water. At least 12 rail cars carrying Bakken oil operated by Union Pacific derailed and caught fire. The wreck occurred in the Columbia River Gorge near the community of Mosier in Oregon which is about 70 miles east of Portland. The derailment and subsequent fire forced the evacuation of local schools and nearby homes. The I-84 highway was also closed. The rail line runs adjacent to the Columbia river which is widely used for both recreation and commerce. Residents of the town of Mosier had to boil their water.
On May 20, 21,000 gallons or 500 barrels of oil spilled from the underground San Pablo Bay Pipeline near Tracy in San Joaquin County, California. Owned by San Pablo Bay Pipeline a subsidiary of Shell Oil.
On May 12, Shell's offshore Brutus platform spilled almost 88,000 gallons or 2,100 barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The spill endangered corals, dolphins, whales, tuna and whale sharks. The spill in Shell's Glider field created a 13 mile long by 2 mile wide oil slick in an area 97 miles south of Port Fourchon, Louisiana.
On February 3 and January 25 in the regions of Amazonas and Loreto, Peru at least 84,000 gallons or 2,000 barrels of oil were spilled into local waterways after two pipeline ruptures. The Marañon River, a principal tributary of the Amazon River was among the waterways that were contaminated. For indigenous people these spills polluted the waterways that are their lifeline, they provide food and water for crops and consumption. The spills are known to have killed fish, crocodiles, and plants.
There is no safe way of extracting and transporting fossil fuels. Repeated oil spills show the soulless self-interest of oil companies. Rather than repair or replace existing pipelines they invest in expansion.
As Greenpeace stated, "The long history of oil spills around the world has made one thing clear: the only way to prevent an oil spill is to keep oil in the ground."

With the increase in the need for a security system installation, alarm system monitoring is a great option to go with. To rely on intervention from your neighbor to call the police is an unsafe option.
There are some people whose security burglar system is monitored by an Alarm Monitoring Company. This kind of protection gives peace of mind that someone keeping an eye on the home, family, business and cherished possessions.
The company selected by you should provide you with 24-hour security monitoring. They should have a good network with cooperating security companies. This is because if they are unable to attend an intrusion alarm a security officer can respond on their behalf. There is a security alarm system for business also for the sake of security.
The control room operators should be able to guide you on how to operate, change codes and reset the time of the alarm system.
This monitoring system is commonly known as a standard phone line. Here most of the alarm system is connected to an existing phone/fax line. This line sends a signal to the control room by making phone calls using the phone line.
GSM is also known as the mobile phone network. In this system, mobile phone SIM Card is been used. A signal is sent to the control room through phone call using the mobile network.
Internet Protocol alarms are commonly known as Ethernet Monitoring. Here computer network is connected to the existing internet router or Ethernet with internet access. IP communicates with the control room through your internet connection.
This is a wireless and self-powered alarm system that sends 10 seconds, video alarm verification to the monitoring center. Earlier it was used for military applications for verifying all alarm.
GPRS is also known as Mobile Internet Network that uses mobile phone SIM Card to send signals to control room with the help of Mobile Internet.


Asian cuisine is widely sought after for plenty of reasons. The use of various elements in the layering of flavors, and the cultures behind them, elevate these delicacies to world-class status. And when you have these impeccable dishes offered in one restaurant, diners will organically come rushing in. As is the case for Lazat.
Tucked away in Timog Avenue, this restaurant at Scout Limbaga would be hard to miss with its huge area and grand facade. Meanwhile, entry in to its generous indoor space will instantly make patrons feel at home with abundance of greens, posh design, and cozy furniture. Its tropical interior layout was a masterpiece of part-owner and celebrated interior designer Ivy Almario. A two-level structure, Lazat has a wide dining area downstairs and second floor that can be rented out for functions. There's also a tinier room in the same level which is for much more smaller groups. At night, the veranda lights up to serve as a chill spot for enjoying drinks.
We got to sit down with one of Lazat's owners who shared with us that his involvement in the business was quite unexpected. Working as a waiter while modeling in print and TV on the side, Alvin Fortuna was fortunate to meet Yong Nieva, husband of Ivy Almario and fellow Lazat partner, through a mutual friend. Alvin, who was then already acting in local TV shows, was offered to handle Yong's other booming restaurant's PR—Romulo Cafe—and soon enough was propositioned to be partner in a new business venture, which is now known as Lazat. Not a stranger to the food industry, Alvin showed his passion for food as he guided us through ins and outs of the restaurant.
Malay for delicious, Lazat replaced the restaurant's original name Cerchio. The reason behind this rebranding, as Alvin explained, was because the latter was harder to pronounce while Lazat rolls off the tongue better. Serving Fil-Asian delicacies, the name would make much more sense once you get to taste their dishes.
Chef A1 talked us through some of Lazat's specialties starting with the Aligue Udon, a Filipino take on Japan's stir-fry udon noodles. The hero of this Lazat specialty is aligue or crab fat. Beyond the unique, flavorful, savoriness it adds to the dish, aligue also gives the udon a tinge of orange which is softened by cream that serves as sauce. Rounding out the dish are bonito flakes and black nori shreds.
Among their specialties is Crispy Tilapia. The household favorite is filleted, cut into pieces, and deep fried to a crisp. Adding zing to this already tasty dish is a selection of sauces that go perfectly with the tilapia, namely sriracha mayo, garlic aioli, and Thai chili sauce.
For meat lovers, Lazat has the Oven Baked Crispy Pata. Instead of deep-frying the pork, it is oven-baked which is generally much healthier. The tender meat is also cut into bite-size pieces, and as complemented by various sauces such as chili oyster sauce, Lazat 's special crispy pata sauce, and Thai sauce.
The Singaporean Squid Head, on the other hand, is a dish that guarantees a clean plate. Squid tentacles are double fried to give them an extra crunch. These are then doused with Singaporean garlic sauce, creating an impeccable combination of texture and spicy-sweet savory flavor.
If there's one thing diners should know about Lazat, it is that they like experimenting and fusing different Asian cuisines together to bring forth dishes worthy of admiration. One at that is their Bulalo Ramen. As you can guess by its name, this special takes elements of local favorite Bulalo as well as key ingredients of ramen to create a surprisingly good dish. This item in the menu has recently been creating buzz across social media and there's no questioning why. It is rich, tasty, and has all these familiar elements we look for in comfort food .
For dessert, Lazat's pride is its Matcha cookie. It is a matcha cookie served warm and topped with vanilla ice cream—it's the perfect reward treat.
Lazat also has international favorites such as Pad Thai, Beef Rendang, and local favorites such as Kare-kare in their menu. The meals are good for a group and are priced just right. If you're people who can't decide where to eat, Lazat is the place to be for satisfying everyone's local and Asian cuisine cravings. Lazat Fil-Asian Bar and Restaurant is located at 76 Scout Limbaga, Tomas Morato, Quezon City.

Have you wondered where the current ' Real Housewives of Orange County' live?
Posted by Teresa Mihelic HelpDesk on Monday, February 6th, 2012 at 4:41pm.
Yes, in Orange County, but where exactly to the Real Housewives of OC live?
The show, which technically is a reality TV one, was originally set to broadcast the luxurious lifestyles of five housewives living 'behing the gates' in the community of Coto de Caza which is where the show producer lives. But to many, this is almost a comedy about the economic recession and what many American families have gone through when overspending, living beyond their means and using their piece of real estate as an ATM machine, only to find themselves facing serious debt, foreclosures and marriage troubles.
Eventhough the show started as Coto de Caza only housewives ( with the exception of one who lived in the nearby Ladera Ranch and transformed her life when marrying a wealthy man), the season 7, now with only one original cast, now portrays the lifestyle of these women in different cities around Orange County.
Alexis Bellino and her husband avoided foreclosure on their Newport Beach mansion and sold the home as a short sale. They now live in the gated community of Monarch Beach in Dana Point, where homes go from condos around $200k to lavish estates in the multi million dollar markets.
Tamra Barney was forced to sale her home, and her 4,300-square-foot home in Ladera Ranch was sold in a short sale at $1.12M instead of the $1.6M asking price. She now lives in a 2 bedroom apartment. Ladera Ranch is a master planned community with many amenities, that has one gated neighborhood: Covenant Hills. Ladera Ranch is also where former housewife Lori Peterson used to live with her children too, before marrying George Peterson and moving to his estate in San Juan Capistrano, where she loves riding horses in the property.
Gretchen Rossi and her boyfriend Slade Smiley currently live in Costa Mesa. Slade was the former boyfriend of another housewife from season 1, and they used to live very lavishly in Coto de Caza.
Vicki Gunvalson, the only original housewife, has her home currently for sale: 7 Shire Coto De Caza MLS S653043. Check out the details on the sale following the link. The picture featured is the front of her home.This is the only home from any of these housewives being sold as a standard sale and the only one that still lives in Coto De Caza. Jenna Keough, former housewife, was able to save her Coto de Caza estate that was facing foreclosure, and got a loan mofication and kept the home.
And finally, the newest addition to the Housewives of OC, season 7 presents Heather Dubrow, who currently resides in exclusive Pelican Hill in Newport Coast. She and her family are looking to buy a new lot for a new estate or a new house in the area.

Researchers show that lanicemine is an effective antidepressant without the adverse effects of the related hallucinogenic drug.
FLICKR, STEVEN DEPOLOKetamine can reduce depressive symptoms, but it induces side effects that make its street drug counterpart, "Special K," popular at parties: hallucinations, altered perception, and dissociative behavior. But now researchers have shown that a ketamine alternative, lanicemine, can reduce depression without the adverse effects, according to a study published in Molecular Psychiatry this week (October 15).
Researchers from Yale University, the French pharmaceutical company Forenap, and AstraZeneca conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to test the effectiveness of lanicemine in 152 people with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (MDD). They found that study participants who received lanicemine injections three times a week for three weeks had a greater decrease in depressive symptoms than patients who received the placebo. The patients who received lanicemine also reported no serious adverse effects.
"This is the largest study to date evaluating the antidepressant effects of an NMDA receptor antagonist," first author Gerard Sanacora, a professor of psychiatry at Yale University, told Everyday Health. Lanicemine and ketamine block NMDA receptors, but it is still not well understood why this seems to reduce depression.
Ketamine has been shown to relieve depressive symptoms within 24 hours, and while lanicemine did not work as quickly in this study—it took up to three weeks to see symptom improvement—the delayed effects could have been due to the study design, in which patients continued to take other medications while participating in the trial. "This could be revolutionary—the first new drug treatment for depression in 50 years," David Nutt of Imperial College London, who was not involved in the work, told New Scientist.
"What this tells us is some of the concerns around ketamine might not be such big problems as originally thought," senior author Mike Quirk of AstraZeneca told New Scientist. "There are ways around them with the right molecule," he added.

Q: Leaflet-Omnivore make external file.geojson available to javascript variable I'm using the Omnivore extension to load my GeoJSON files into a Mapbox/ Leaflet map.  Later, I'm using Turf.js on this data.
I'm loading the external GeoJSON file to the map as a customLayer, but having trouble making the GeoJSON data available in the variable pts for use later.

var polyLayer = L.geoJson(null, {
    style: function(feature) {
        return { color: '#f00', weight: 1, opacity: 0.9
  };
    }
}).addTo(map);

var polys = omnivore.geojson('polys.geojson', null, polyLayer);

var ptsLayer = L.geoJson(null, {
 onEachFeature: labelEachFeature,
 pointToLayer: function (feature, latlng) {
  return L.circleMarker(latlng, style(feature))
 ;}
});

var pts = omnivore.geojson('pts.geojson', null, ptsLayer);

polyLayer.on('mouseover', function(e) {
 var matchingPoints = turf.featurecollection([])
 matchingPoints.features = pts.features.filter(function(pt) {
   if(pt.properties.servesbldg === e.layer.feature.properties.bldg_no) return true
 })

 ptsLayer.setGeoJSON(matchingPoints);
});

function getPoints(building, pts) {
  var matchingPoints = turf.featurecollection([])
  matchingPoints.features = pts.features.filter(function(pt) {
 if(pt.properties.servesbldg === building.properties.bldg_no) return true
  })
  return matchingPoints
}

Here's a GIST of what I've got including the GeoJSON files.

A: Instead of using omnivore to grab the pts layer... Why not declare a pts variable, use jQuery.getJSON to grab pts.geojson and assign that response  to the pts variable, then call L.geoJson(pts).addTo(map). Then you have the layer added, and you have the original geojson structure available for use in other places, like you need.

Internet Opens New Markets for Brazil Overseas
by Geovana Pagel January 29, 2006
The Internet has become an important tool for Brazilian exporters. Small, medium and large companies in the country are reaching the foreign market with the help of the worldwide computer network. Apart from serving as a window for products, the web works as a channel for research about foreign markets.
At company Brazilian Bikinis, an international distributor of three brands of bikinis, the Internet is the main export channel.
"100% of sales are through the Internet," explains the company owner, Thales Panagides, who receives orders from the United States, Europe, and Australia.
The company, from Fortaleza, capital of the northeastern Brazilian state of Ceará, was established in March this year and has closed thousands of sales on the Internet since then.
Specialists guarantee that with a well-made site, one that works, is fast and has options for navigation in various languages, it is possible to export to the Europeans, Americans, Asians, Africans and Arabs.
In the opinion of the foreign trade consultant of the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (Sebrae), Jaime Kochi, the Internet is the easiest means for a company, specially a small one, to export. But he recommends that a detailed study of the market to be reached.
"It is necessary to know the foreign customer well and to adapt your site to your customer's profile. It is also important for the site to be translated into the language used in the country," he pointed out.
According to Kochi, it is also very important to offer safety at the moment of purchase, as well as answering to customer questions, doubts and orders.
The owner of Brazilian Bikinis says that, due to the contact being done on the Web, it is fundamental to keep all the information detailed and with many photographs of the products for potential customers to see.
"And it is also important to send samples, if necessary," he explained.
Panagides guarantees that it is possible to significantly reduce export costs through the use of the Net. "The cost of communicating worldwide has dropped significantly after the Internet," he pointed out. It is possible to economize, for example, on trips and on telephone calls.
So as to reduce the cost of international calls, the businessman who owns Brazilian Bikinis uses the voice service on the Internet. "Talking to a customer in Australia for 30 minutes on the new system, I only spend US$ 0.73. If I made an international telephone call, it would cost around US$ 11."
Apart from representing three brands on the foreign market, Panagides also does consultancy to businessmen interested in learning a little more about the use of the Internet as a sales tool.
Businessman Eduardo Marzano, who produces semiconductors for the auto industry, discovered that reformulating his site was a way of entering new markets. With approximately US$ 1,500 the businessman updated the company portal, Aegis Semicondutores, and sales rose 40% in three months.
"Our old site was structured badly and was incomplete. In the reformulated version, it became much more attractive and dynamic, and the products started being presented in a more direct manner, with many pictures," explains Marzano.
Thanks to the new site the number of hits rose by around 60% and good business arose with companies in Belgium, Italy, Germany, Australia, and the United States.
The businessman also listed his site on free search engines. Each month, the company receives on average 3,500 hits. At least half of these hits generate sales.
"The site is our main visiting card. And it has shown that it is an efficient form for foreign companies to see my company," he commemorates. Aegis is based in the city of São Paulo, in southeastern Brazil.
The free search engines used by Marzano may be a good option for company advertising.
The Exporter Portal, a site created by the Development, Industry and Foreign Trade Ministry three years ago, also simplifies the life of Brazilian exporters.
The objective of the portal is to offer businessmen, in a simple and direct manner, basic information regarding exports. The future exporter learns about the main terms, mechanism, legislation, events and activities that may help him reach the new markets.
In November the site registered 39,800 hits. This number represents a 17.22% increase over the same month last year.
The Exporter Portal has two environments. The first has information about procedures, institutions, and links related to the export process. The second brings program "Learning to Export", destined to explaining, in a simple way, the step-by-step process for exporters to take their products to the foreign market.
Also through the site, the 18,000 exporters in the country may register themselves as exporters, in the Integrated System for Foreign Trade (Siscomex), belonging to the Revenue Service.

As he fights for the legal right to do that, an influential doctors group in Massachusetts has agreed to stop trying to block the way.
Kligler, who lives in Falmouth, Massachusetts, serves as one of the public faces for the national movement supporting medical aid in dying, which allows terminally ill people who are expected to die within six months to request a doctor's prescription for medication to end their lives.
Doctors groups are dropping their opposition to medical aid in dying
This allows terminally ill people to request a doctor's prescription for medication to end their lives
Efforts to expand the practice, which is legal in six states and Washington, D.C., have met with powerful resistance from religious groups, disability advocates and the medical establishment.
But in Massachusetts and other states, doctors groups are dropping their opposition -- a move that advocates and opponents agree helps pave the way to legalization of physician-assisted death.
The American Medical Association, the dominant voice for doctors nationwide, opposes allowing doctors to prescribe life-ending medications at a patient's request, calling it "fundamentally incompatible with the physician's role as healer."
But in December, the Massachusetts Medical Society became the 10th chapter of the AMA to drop its opposition and take a neutral stance on medical aid in dying.
Most of those changes occurred in the past two years. They proved a pivotal precursor to getting laws passed in California, Colorado and Washington, D.C., said Kim Callinan, chief program officer for Compassion & Choices, an advocacy group that supports legalization efforts around the country. The practice is also legal in Washington, Oregon, Vermont and Montana.
The shifts come as doctors' views evolve: Fifty-seven percent of U.S. doctors supported medical aid in dying in a 2016 Medscape survey, up from 46 percent in 2010.
Because of the medical society's vote, Massachusetts is the state most likely to legalize medical aid in dying this year, predicted David Stevens, CEO of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, a national group of 19,000 health professionals that has opposed such laws in every state.
"I think a neutral stance is probably what's going to push it over," he said.
Doctors' opinions are also playing a role in New York, where the New York State Academy of Family Physicians endorsed an aid-in-dying bill, and the state medical society is surveying its members on the subject.
Efforts to legalize the practice have faced pushback nationally: Last year, lawmakers in 27 states introduced aid-in-dying bills, and none passed. And in Congress, Republican lawmakers have launched several attempts to block the District of Columbia from implementing its law.
This year, Compassion & Choices' Callinan identified New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts as its top three target states.
Peg Sandeen, executive director of Death With Dignity National Center, an aid-in-dying advocacy group based in Oregon, cited Hawaii as another top target. Advocates there are "trying to break the logjam in the legislature," where the state Senate passed a bill in March, she said. Hawaii came close to legalizing the practice in 2000.
Massachusetts has been a fraught battleground for the right-to-die movement: In 2012, opponents narrowly defeated a referendum that would have legalized the practice. Home to a robust medical hub and Harvard Medical School, the state is a stronghold for academic medicine.
Kligler, who's 66, has publicly described his intent to use lethal drugs to die on his own terms rather than endure what he expects to be several months of significant pain, fatigue and declining quality of life.
Kligler said he wants other dying people to have the same option: When he used to serve as a hospice physician to cancer patients, he said, patients used to "ask me to help them to die," but he had no legal way to do so. Kligler is also suing Massachusetts, arguing that terminally ill patients have a constitutional right to medical aid in dying.
"It's a question of justice," Kligler said.
When the Massachusetts Medical Society surveyed members last year, 60 percent said they supported medical aid in dying, and 30 percent said they opposed it.
Dr. Barbara Rockett, a surgeon and past president of the medical society, urged fellow doctors to uphold the group's long-standing opposition to the practice. Doctors should focus on helping dying patients through hospice and palliative medicine, she said.
"To intentionally help them commit suicide is wrong," Rockett said. Proponents, meanwhile, say the practice is not "suicide" because the patient is already being killed by a terminal disease.
Rockett said she was disappointed that her fellow delegates in the society voted to adopt a neutral stance.
Even with the doctors group stepping out of the way, the latest aid-in-dying bill, dubbed the Massachusetts End of Life Options Act, faces formidable opposition. Catholic groups, a significant force opposing aid in dying nationally, have a robust base in Massachusetts: Over a third of residents are Catholic, second only to Rhode Island.
Catholic groups provided much of the $5.5 million that opponents spent to defeat Massachusetts' ballot referendum in 2012, outspending proponents by nearly 5-to-1.
The Boston Archdiocese did not respond to repeated requests for comment for this story. But at the time the referendum failed, a spokesman said the church could not afford to lose on this issue in a Catholic stronghold: "If it passes in Massachusetts," the spokesman said, "it's a gateway to the rest of the country."

Juliana's, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire – Menuwatch
23 October 2008 by Tom Vaughan
A former Knorr National Chef of the Year and Roux Scholar, Steve Love is back in a hotel kitchen at the Cotswold House hotel after two stints as a chef-proprietor. Tom Vaughan reports
"Simon Hulstone has ruined my PR," claims Steve Love. Sitting in the restyled chic of fine-dining restaurant Juliana's in the Cotswold House hotel in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, he explains that Hulstone's victory in the Knorr National Chef of the Year awards two weeks ago means that Love is no longer the only chef able to promote himself as winner of both that competition and the prestigious Roux Scholarship.
But it's really only banter. They're both veterans of the competition circuit and know each other to be magnanimous professionals, constantly on the phone to each other for news and advice. In truth, Love admits to being delighted for the newly crowned Hulstone.
It has been four years since Love lifted the Chef of the Year title, and 11 since the Roux Scholarship led him to a three-month stage with Alain Ducasse in France.
Great setting
He has seen a few sites since then, most recently as chef-patron of the College Arms in Lower Quinton, Stratford-upon-Avon, and his own eponymous restaurant, Love's, in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. He initially joined the Cotswold House hotel at the end of last year as a temporary measure, to help out following the departure of the previous head chef, but he made the position permanent in the New Year.
It's a great setting for Love's modern British cuisine. The hotel changed hands earlier in the year, being bought by Concorde Hotel Management, and with the changeover came a whole new look. Behind the hotel's burlywood Georgian facade it's a weekend tripper's dream and, in Chipping Campden, boasts on its doorstep one of the most bucolic retreats this side of TV's Heartbeat.
As well as overseeing Juliana's, Love is in charge of the Hicks' brasserie as well as providing breakfast and room service.
His menu at Juliana's is innovative 21st-century British food. The short menu offers five starters, five mains and five desserts, priced at £39.50 for two courses or £49.50 for three, with each dish intriguing enough to excuse the brevity.
Take the nougat of duck foie gras the 85%-chocolate concoction is mixed like a ganache, but with fat from the foie gras folded in instead of cream, and it is served with caraway and sweet and sour figs. The result is exactly as you would expect: a sweet, smooth dish of chocolatey foie gras, paired well with the gentle tartness of the figs. It is likely to form the backbone of the chocolate tasting menu that Love is considering.
The mains are littered with touches of Love's former mentors. Lighthorne lamb - "the best lamb I've ever tasted," he says - is broken down into a loin, a braised shoulder and a Ducasse-style "epigramme": slices of the braised, breadcrumbed and fried-off belly served with sweetbreads, leeks, mint jelly and girolles.
The beautifully presented slow-roasted squab pigeon, arranged on a strip of smeared 72% chocolate, is based on a dish developed with Gary Jones when the two were together at Waldo's in Cliveden, Berkshire. Jones is now head chef of Raymond Blanc's Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons. There's a breast, a ballottine leg, a farce of white pudding and pigeon livers, sugary caramelised winglets, sweet corn and Ducasse-style cylinders of fondant potato.
It's a brave man who allows Brussels sprouts on to a fine-dining menu. Love serves them - along with chestnuts, spiced apple, smoked potato purée and coffee brittle - with his Finnebrogue venison loin, a dish as simple as the pigeon dish is fiddly.
Also notable is the appearance of blackberries on the dessert menu, themselves regularly ignored as an autumnal treat. The plump, bloated berries - sourced from a local farm, like the rest of Love's fruit and veg - are marinated in port, adorned with gold leaf and served with vanilla cream, pink Champagne jelly, smoked macadamia nuts and a yogurt sorbet.
Love's food has a real attitude. It's assured, creative and seasonal, and is marked by a boldness of character. It's fitting that, in a destination village, Love should be shaping a destination restaurant.

Pat Cummins named Australia Test captain, Steve Smith appointed vice captain
Fast bowler Pat Cummins was on Friday named captain of Australia's men's Test cricket team after wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Paine announced an indefinite break from all cricket. Meanwhile, batsman and former captain Steve Smith has been made the vice-captain of the team. Paine announced his resignation as Australia captain last week following a "sexting scandal" with a former Cricket Tasmania colleague in 2017. After 65 years, a fast bowler will be seen as the Test captain of Australia.
Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hawkley said in a statement: "Pat Cummins is a great player and leader. He has earned a lot of respect from his teammates and from all corners of the game for his attitude and achievements both on and off the field. We are very fortunate to have an experienced group of senior players who are themselves excellent leaders. I have no doubt that Pat and Steve will be well supported in their respective leadership roles."
According to Cricket Australia (CA), pacer Cummins joined an elite club with the honor of premier Australia, stepping into the role as vice-captain almost two years later. Cummins said, "I am honored to have accepted this role ahead of the Ashes series. I hope that I can provide the same leadership that Tim (Paine) has given to the team over the years." Steve and I as captains, this team has many senior players and some great young talent coming through and we have a strong team. It's an unexpected privilege that I'm very grateful for and looking forward to "
Smith returned to the leadership group with Cummins. Smith, who made his Test debut in 2010, has been instrumental as a leader and person on and off the field. If Cummins is absent for any reason, Steve Smith will take over the captaincy in this situation. Smith said, "I am delighted to return to the leadership of the team and look forward to helping Pat in any way I can. Pat and I have played together for a long time, so we know our respective styles very well." As a team, we want to play good and positive cricket and really enjoy each other's company. We focus on the Ashes and beyond." Steve Smith was banned for one year due to child tampering and was banned for captaincy for two years, which is now over.

## Ingeniería en Redes

Un **paquete** es una abstracción de los datos transmitidos en la _capa_ de _red_ del modelo OSI. Consiste en los datos reales junto con otros campos necesarios para su mediación de un nodo a otro nodo en la red. Dado que la transferencia de todos los datos a través de una red a la vez es ineficiente, se divide en pequeños paquetes y luego se transmite.

Un paquete se ve así:

![paquete](https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/p/packet.jpg)

La capa de red desglosa los datos en paquetes pequeños, cada uno con su identificador único. Luego pasan a la capa de transporte, que los transporta al destino a través de varios nodos intermedios, como enrutadores y conmutadores, utilizando el _Protocolo de control de transmisión_ (TCP) y _el Protocolo de Internet_ (IP). TCP se ocupa del enrutamiento real, mientras que IP ayuda en el direccionamiento lógico de los dispositivos (dirección IP) para mantener un seguimiento de qué nodo enviar el paquete.

Una vez que los paquetes llegan al destino, se envía un acuse de recibo. Si por alguna razón se elimina un paquete, se puede volver a solicitar desde el nodo de origen.

Los ingenieros de redes son responsables de implementar, mantener, respaldar, desarrollar y, en algunos casos, diseñar redes de comunicación dentro de una organización o entre organizaciones.

Su objetivo es garantizar la integridad de la infraestructura de red de alta disponibilidad para proporcionar el máximo rendimiento a sus usuarios. Los usuarios pueden ser personal, clientes, clientes y proveedores. Las redes pueden incluir:

computadora; voz; cortafuegos. Los ingenieros de redes pueden trabajar internamente como parte del equipo de soporte de TI de una organización, o externamente como parte de una firma de consultoría de redes de TI subcontratada que trabaja con varios clientes.

The problem with self-driving cars is that they can't be around non-self-driving cars, in real-world environments, until we're confident they're safe. And the only way to test them in real-world environments is to put them in one, immediately making us unsafe. It's a Catch 22 that Ford is trying to overcome by building an entire neighbourhood where tests can be done in a controlled way.
The32-acre site, named Mcity, is at the University of Michigan, a State formerly famed as the cheese capital of the USA and home of the Fonz.
Part of Ford's Smart Mobility programme, this ghostly new town is home to theFusion Hybrid Autonomous Research Vehicles. These KITT cars are loaded upwithcameras, radar and LiDAR - laser sensors that help to generate a real-time 3D map of the car's environment - so they can be tested on roads that are like the real thing, but where nothing is left to chance.
This video shows a simulated view of Mcity; the one further down is a brief glimpse of the real thing.
In Mcity, the snappily-namedFusion Hybrid Autonomous Research Vehicle can be confronted with road users jumping red lights, nosing out of junctions too fast and generally driving like crazy people, but in a way that is safe for all concerned.
The town has street lights, plus a whole raft of American urban planning terms that will mean nothing to our UK readers: 'crosswalks' (zebra crossings), 'lane delineators' (bollards, basically), 'curb cuts' (ramps), 'trees' (trees), 'hydrants' (those things water comes out of in America), 'sidewalks' (pavements),bike lanes,signs, traffic control devices and construction barriers.
In fact, it looks like kind of a nightmare to drive around, if you're a human.
Test surfaces in Mcity include concrete, asphalt, 'simulated brick' and dirt, with two-, three- and four-lane roads, plus ramps, roundabouts and tunnels.
Ford has been testing autonomous vehicles for more than 10 years, and has various autonomous technologies fitted in its fleet already. The research at Mcity, however, is targetted at eventually putting more fully self-driving vehicles on our roads.

Activism, Autism, Justice
Osime Brown is Black, Autistic, and Wrongly Convicted. Now the Home Office Wants to Deport Him
By zenmasterbear
I suggest that you read The Independent's story about the plight of Osime Brown before reading further. That article will give you context and should put you in the right frame of mind to appreciate my outrage.
I would also recommend this post by my friend Wolfheart Sanchez who offers his own take on Osime's situation.
The Stay At Home Office
There is much that is twisted and horrifying about the UK Government over the past decade of Tory misrule. One of the more obscene pits of dysfunction and cruelty is the Home Office. This is an agency that often behaves like something out of a dystopian fantasy.
The Home Office went off the rails when the Tories started believing their own blather about reducing net immigration. The UK generally had some of the more liberal immigration policies within the EU.
The Cameron government and Tory party acted as if the state of the UK immigration system was the EU's fault. Before the Brexit vote EU legal structures would have allowed the UK to tighten rules on immigration from Europe. For political reasons the Conservatives failed to even acknowledge that this was possible.
Innovations in Absurdity
After locking itself into wilful blindness around European immigration, the government looked elsewhere for a reduction in numbers. They chose to target the category of highly educated people. At one time I could have had a UK visa because I have a Ph.D. from a top university.
Theresa May, as home secretary, eliminated that visa category. If we have too many uneducated immigrants, she perhaps thought, why not balance that out by getting rid of a bunch of people who are too educated? Fortunately I had sponsorship from an employer so did not require this visa.
Then she came up with the concept of a 'hostile environment.' Seriously. As if the racism and colonisation deeply ingrained in English culture weren't enough. Rather than increasing efforts to improve the lives of all, the government set out to make just the racists more comfortable.
All of which is a long-winded way of saying that one should not be surprised if one encounters feats of stupidity coming out of the home office that are so staggeringly inconsistent with one's own perception of reality that one marvels that the universe itself is not warped.
Perversion of Justice
Such absurdity is found in the case of Osime Brown, a young Black and autistic man.
The UK today is a land of austerity mixed with racism. One is unsurprised that a young Black man might go undiagnosed as autistic for years.
Predictably, Osime was deprived of necessary services even after being diagnosed. By the time he was diagnosed he had been permanently excluded from school. Surely this exclusion should have been reversed in the course of a full examination of his past record in light of his diagnosis. One suspects that such a review never occurred.
He was convicted of stealing a phone, a crime that he never committed. The boys who actually stole the phone testified that Osime had tried to talk them out of it. He was sentenced to a brutally harsh five years in prison, under an interpretation of law that has since been deemed incorrect by the courts. Unsurprisingly for an autistic person, Osime has a strong sense of right and wrong and tried to prevent a crime. For his troubles, he has been locked away.
Osime was only in a situation where he was associating with the boys who did steal the phone because the government repeatedly failed to provide him the assistance to which his disability should have entitled him.
Osime was illegally removed from his home against his mother's wishes. Osime was repeatedly moved from placement to placement. These were cruel acts that would harshly impact any autistic child.
To take us from absurdity to farce, the charges filed against Osime included 'perversion of justice."
Perhaps this charge would be better levelled against the government.
Responsibility is For Other People
This government can't seem to get out of bed in the morning without ruining the lives of Black and Brown people. Typically, no one in government will take any responsibility for any of its failings. Yet they insist that any trouble Osime got himself into was purely of his own making.
Never mind that he has actually done nothing wrong. Like Matthew Rushin, he is criminally punished for being autistic while Black.
Osime was failed by our system. He is the victim. Yet he is the only person being held to account for all the centuries of wrongs that culminated in imprisoning a Black autistic teen for stealing a phone he didn't steal. He is the only person suffering the consequences of this governmental failure.
Our prime minister is infuriating. He acts like a six year old although he is theoretically an adult. His life seems strewn with poor judgments and apparently-discarded children.
I speak here of the ones he has fathered, not the innocents caught in his party's inhumane constructions. Osime does not fully understand the threat hanging over him, yet he is in jail and facing deportation.
If only Mr. Johnson would be held to such a strict standard of accountability for the actual wrong he has done in his life.
Decades Won't Make you British, Four Years Makes You Jamaican
The barb in the government's position is that Mr. Brown was not born in the UK. He is Jamaican, although he has been in the UK since he was four years old.
Today's Tory party seems to believe that no matter how long a non-white person lives in England, they will ever remain a foreigner. However, Osime's four years in Jamaica, none of which he remembers, somehow make him qualified to easily adjust to building a life there for himself after the deportation with which he is being threatened?
Osime knows no one there. He cannot navigate the world without compassionate support. He asked his mother which direction he should walk to get back to her– from Jamaica to the UK.
The government's stance appears to be a very convoluted death sentence. Or perhaps Jamaica, with a fraction of the money to spend, is capable of taking care of autistic people dropped off on their shores. I look forward to Priti Patel explaining that we will be adopting the Jamaican model in an upcoming overhaul of social care that will actually take care of all of those who require help.
An Alternate Universe of White Privilege
Looking at Osime's plight, I can't help but observe that my own life has been lived in a completely different universe.
A universe of white privilege.
I grew up in a world where someone like me would never have been considered autistic. I was "too smart." Too successful in school.
My behavior was excused because of my presumed intelligence. Osime, like many Black autistic children, had his autistic behaviors dismissed as willful defiance.
Sure, there were those 'temper tantrums' which I now know to have been autistic meltdowns. There was that year in elementary school when I was segregated from my class as I could not cope with the overly-strict teacher.
No one ever involved the police. No one ever questioned my parents' ability to care for me.
One year in college, a classmate talked a bunch of us into stealing a poster from the musical 'Cats' from the local train station. We were stopped and questioned by a policeman. We told him we had bought the poster.
The policeman went back to the train station, found the corner of the poster we had left in the frame, and came back to confront us. Except he just showed us that he knew we had stolen it, gave us a warning, and let us keep the poster!
I'm sure that would have all played out a lot differently if we weren't all white and privileged.
Prior to obtaining UK citizenship, I personally encountered staggering incompetence in the Home Office. My biometric residence card was stolen during what was meant to be a weekend in Spain. I spent over a week in exile waiting for a new visa. When the new visa finally appeared, it was stamped 'employment prohibited.' Brilliant, since, as a US citizen, the only reason I required a visa was that I was employed in the UK.
My employer was tolerant, and things were eventually resolved, although only after my MP faxed an angry letter to then-Home Secretary Theresa May. I do wonder how differently this whole sequence of events might have played out had I not been white.
Or what if Osime had an MP faxing Theresa May or Priti Patel on his behalf?
For someone like me, the failings of the Home Office were a temporary annoyance which never made me feel threatened. For Osime Brown, the failings of multiple governmental agencies has damaged his health, deprived him of an education, and locked him away in jail.
To top this off, the government wants to deport him to a country with which he has only tenuous connection. His entire family is here in the UK.
One similarity between Osime and me is that we both have talents that should be of value. The picture accompanying this article is his work. My talents have led me to a series of interesting and stable jobs. Osime's talents provide him with something to do while he is locked up.
Osime never had art classes. His drawings were shared with us by @coreden10 on Twitter who is helping to advocate for Osime.
Prison guards steal his drawings. Osime is serving five years for theft he didn't commit. The theft of his art is acceptable Osime is Black and autistic, and that means that his rights have been disregarded.
How can these two universes co-exist? How many others are trapped in this cruel alternate reality?
Judge This Government
A true measure of a society is how it treats the least fortunate within its borders. By this measure, the current UK government is failing miserably.
They turn a blind eye to abuses of power by those who declare them necessary. They show unbridled hostility and brutality towards those most in need of protection. One can easily feel that any member of such a government who does not resign in shame is deeply morally deficient. They are completely lacking in the areas most necessary for building a truly inclusive and humane society.
Please support the crowdfunding campaign to raise money for Mr. Brown's defence.

I was diagnosed as autistic on my 54th birthday. I describe myself as a Creative Technologist. No job description I have ever seen really captures what I have to offer.
I'm an avid (some would say obsessive) runner.
I like bears. I wonder sometimes about the pros and cons of self-identifying as ursine, but worry that I would end up in a zoo, or hunted.

KEY POLITICAL parties are set to see a significant reduction in MPs after new regulations were issued reducing the number of constituency candidates.
For instance, Pheu Thai Party's strongholds – the North and the Northeast – will lose 13 seats in Parliament, while the Democrat Party could lose six MPs, as the number of seats in the South and Bangkok has been reduced by three each.
The political parties will have no choice but to make adjustments in accordance with the new boundaries, according to observers.
Political analyst Stithorn Thananithichot said no parties were gaining an upper hand at this stage, adding that the impact of gerrymandering would only surface once the exact electoral boundaries are drawn.
The number of MPs from each province was published in the Royal Gazette yesterday.
Since the number of constituency candidates have been reduced by 25 – from 375 in 2011 to 350 based on the new Constitution – the decrease in the number of seats in some areas is natural.
The number of seats in Parliament is based on the population. As per government records, the population stands at 66,188,503 people, and every 189,110 people get to have one MP.
In the South – perceived as a Democrat Party stronghold – the number of MPs has gone down from 53 to 50. However, Nipit Intrasombat, a former Democrat MP from Phatthalung, said the swing in the number of constituency MPs was not unexpected.
"It's nothing to be concerned about. We are very well aware of the change," he told The Nation.
Despite three seats being taken away, Nipit said the Democrat Party will suffer little impact.
Besides, he said, some of the former Democrat candidates will not run in Surat Thani and Trang provinces, which have lost one seat each.
"One MP from Surat Thani said he will withdraw this time, while the one in Trang has been given a red card. So this works out perfectly," he said.
Nikorn Chamnong, a key member from Chartthaipattana Party, whose stronghold in Suphan Buri province has also seen a reduction by one seat, said his party was prepared for the change and the candidate would be added to the party list instead.
Meanwhile, political analyst Stithorn, who hails from the King Prajadhipok's Institute, explained that the reduction in MP numbers was dictated by law.
However, he said, problems will arise with gerrymandering once the exact boundaries in each province are drawn.
However, he said, unfair practices such as these are not easy to cover up.
The law dictates how the boundaries should be drawn, taking into account such things as geographical proximity, he said. Public hearings are also required, so parties or voters can complain if such irregularities occur, he added.
According to the Election Commission, the drawing of boundaries should be completed in 55 days.

There are cracks in the foundation. Nothing structural. Nothing that's going to threaten the stability of the home, but they're there. Nooks, crannies and holes through which seeps an invisible threat. Colorless, odorless, and undetectable by your average human, it is nevertheless the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
Radon gas - even the name sounds ominous, evoking images of radiation and nuclear devastation is created when uranium in the soil decays. The gas then seeps through any access point into a home. Common entry points are cracks in the foundation, poorly-sealed pipes, drainage, or any other loose point. Once in the home, the gas can collect in certain areas especially basements and other low-lying, closed areas and build up over time to dangerous levels. The Environmental Protection Agency of the US Government has set a threshold of 4 pico curies per liter as the safe level. As humans are exposed to the gas over a period of years, it can have a significant and detrimental effect.
How widespread is the problem? Radon has been found in homes in all 50 states. Certain areas are more susceptible than others check locations, but no location is immune. Concentrations of radon-causing materials in the soil can be either natural or man-made. Homes built near historic mining operations may be at higher risk. The only way to tell for sure is to have a home tested.
Testing for radon comes in two forms: active and passive. Active devises constantly measure the levels of radon in a portion of the home and display those results. Passive devices collect samples over a period of time and then are taken away and analyzed. Either method can help you determine your level of risk. Do-it-yourself kits are available from a number of outlets, normally with passive devices. Over a period of days, the device is left in the lowest level of the home which is normally occupied. This eliminates crawl spaces under the house, but includes finished or unfinished basements. Then the results are analyzed by a professional. The other option is to engage a qualified professional to conduct the tests properly. The EPA web site provides information on finding an appropriate resources and testing devices.
So whether you have an old home or a new one, live in an old mining town or in the middle of the Great Plains, radon is a reality. But it is a reality that we can live with. Proper testing and mitigation can eliminate radon as a health threat. For more information, visit the EPA web site on radon.
