A brief histroy of the stuggle between nature and business
The North Dakota Access Pipeline Protests continue today, as the standoff between the pro-Native American supporters and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC nears its third week with no clear end in site. Today the Dakota Student, in preparation of the courts expected ruling will go over all of the information and the evolution of the protest, from a peaceful demonstration to one filled with violence and distrust by both sides.
The Beginning: The pipeline was initially started with ground breaking on May 24th 2016, but notoriously absent was controversial approval of the pipeline crossing water which was required from the Army Corp of Engineers. This easement would be required to go over the sacred river near tribal land and was part of the proposed and approved design, yet this was the first time concerns were noted, or the project stalled. As the pipeline progressed and approached these areas, the Army Corp of Engineers would continue to delay the granting of the easement, but finally approved the crossing on July 27th, 2016. This approval while relatively ignored, was the first steps in the conflict, as tribal leaders of the Standing Rock Sioux began to organize and launched what could be described as a monumental grass roots campaign attempted to educate and inform the state of North Dakota about the potential consequences and how the Army had ignored their desires to stop the pipeline due to sovereignty and water access concerns.
Protests begin in earnest: After the failures of the tribe to stop the crossings approval, the pipeline continued towards the tribes sacred land unabated, with only small reports of sabotage or miscreant activity, but on August 16th, the Bismarck Tribune reported that work had finally stopped as upwards of 600 people with members from more than 30 tribes had gathered in solidarity against the pipe-line. This standoff basically continued with small exchanges on either side, such as man on horseback faking charges against the pipeline, and individuals tying themselves to the machines, but no real injuries had occurred. At this stage of the protests incidents were ramping up, with the horseman continually charging closer and closer, to the security forces on the pipeline, and had resorted to throwing found objects at not only the police in the area but also at the private security hired to protect the pipeline. From this point forward, as conflict and countermeasures were amped up on both sides it appeared that bloodshed was inevitable as opposed to the hope appeared that level heads would prevail, while both sides awaited a US Court decision on whether or not the pipeline was in fact constitutional, that is to say whether or not the Army actually had the authority to approve the pipeline in the first place over the sacred land and river.
First Blood:
As the pipeline continued to do its best to work, it appeared as though only a single spark would be needed to provoke a potentially violent response from security to protect its pipeline, and this spark finally ignited with an almost full scale riot over the course of the weekend from September 2nd to 5th, and while the details are unclear as to who provoked whom, and whether or not the security were justified in their actions, six protestors were injured by guard-dogs, and nearly 30 were sprayed with harmful chemicals such as mace. Furthermore, it is unclear how many private security folks were injured in the scuffle but it is known that the protestors crossed the neutral zone's fences armed with sticks, throwing found objects, and of course their usual horseback charge techniques which likely provoked the private securities response.
As of September 7th this is where the story ends, but be on the lookout for more information. Our hearts go out to all those affected and injured by actions on both sides, and we hope that level heads prevail as we await a court ruling.

Congress's Dress Code May Bar Some Professional Wear, But That's Not The Point
July 13, 2017 By Jordyn Pair
Let's start with the obvious: wearing sleeveless dresses and open-toed shoes is not necessarily unprofessional, depending on one's profession and workplace rules and norms. But blatantly ignoring rules then announcing your transgression is.
Rep. Martha McSally, R-Arizona, stood on the house floor Wednesday in violation of the alleged House dress code.
"Before I yield back, I want to point out, I'm standing here in my professional attire, which happens to be a sleeveless dress and open-toed shoes," McSally announced to the floor. She threw the statement onto the end of a five-minute speech praising the recipients of the Southern Arizona's First Responders of Distinction award in her district.
House dress code became an issue after Haley Byrd, a congressional reporter for Independent Journal Review (IJR) was refused entry to the House speaker's lobby because she was wearing a sleeveless dress. This dress code, although not explicitly stated, has been in place for years, including under other speakers of the House, of both parties. Until recently, however, its enforcement was lax.
While these rules might seem arbitrary, they are still the rules of the House. To openly break them as McSally did is not only pointless, but disrespectful.
Unfortunately, this is typical behavior when people resist dress codes. Instead of petitioning the agency through the proper channels, people will simply wear what they like as "protest." It's behavior most often seen in school situations. However, students have minimal say in where they will attend school, nor do they typically have the power to alter dress codes. Childish protests are all they have.
An adult in a work environment, however, does have a choice—either to leave the job with "oppressive" dress codes, to influence the discussion with mature conversation, or to simply suck it up. Although it is unclear if McSally wore the clothes to purposefully break dress code or was simply noting that she had not been asked to change, she still should wear the appropriate and mandated clothing. McSally did not respond to a request for comment.
If she was wearing her outfit in "protest," she's in the wrong. Following rules with which one disagrees is simply a part of life. When people lose the self-control and respect for others to follow rules they find disagreeable, society dissolves. As someone in a position of power, McSally also has the means to influence change using the proper protocols rather than simply breaking the rules.
So, McSally, put on a sweater and some closed-toe shoes. Then go and do part of your job—enact change in concert with your peers. Perhaps you will find that showing respect for them and previous representatives' views on this matter would have helped your case.
UPDATE: Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has announced he will be working with the Sergeant-at-Arms to update the congressional dress code. Ryan noted the dress code was not something he created, before saying it should be modernized.
"Decorum is important, especially for this institution, and a dress code in the chamber and the lobby makes sense," he said. "But we also don't need to bar otherwise accepted contemporary business attire."

Царската библиотека на Александрия е построена в началото на III век пр. Хр. в Александрия, Египет и е сред Седемте чудеса на античния свят. Тя е най-голямата библиотека в Античността, както и най-големият за времето си център на знанието и науката. Заедно със Серапеума тя е част от Музейона, антична учебна и научна институция, както подсказва името ѝ посветена на Музите - покровителки на изкуствата и науките.

История
Основана е по време на управлението на Птолемей II – владетел на елинистически Египет. В основаването на библиотеката взимат участие Деметрий Фалерски и вероятно Стратон от Лампсак.

Предполага се, че в нея са се съхранявали между 400 000 и 700 000 папирусови свитъка. Птолемеите издават закон, според който корабите в пристанището трябва да бъдат проверявани, като всеки ръкопис, неизвестен на библиотеката, трябва да се прибира. За да навредят на своята съперница – библиотеката в Пергамон, Птолемеите забранили износа на нилски папирус.

В библиотеката работят много учени от епохата на елинизма като Евклид, Ератостен, Аполоний Родоски и Хипатия.

Александрийска библиотека е разрушена. Предполагаемите причини за разрушението на библиотеката са:
 пожар през 47 – 48 пр.н.е., причинен от войските на Юлий Цезар при покоряване на града;
 нападение от римския император Аврелиан през III век;
 декрет на император Теодосий I от 391 г. към патриарх Теофил Александрийски за разрушаване на езическите храмове;
 завладяването на града от монголите;
 нарочно изгорена с цел да бъдат запазени част от най-важните за времето свитъци.

На 23 април 2002 г. в града е открита голяма съвременна библиотека, известна като Библиотека Александрина.

Нови разкрития
През 2004 г. BBC съобщава, че полски и египетски археолози са открили останки в района на Брухион в Александрия, които много приличат на читални зали и аудитории, като се предполага, че това са руините на прочутата древна библиотека.

The newly redeveloped A$45m (US$32m) International Terminal at Brisbane Airport in Australia was officially opened today (October 28) by Warren Truss MP, deputy prime minister of Australia and minister for infrastructure and regional development.
Julieanne Alroe, CEO and managing director for Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC), the airport operator, said, "This project has been a labor of love for everyone who has worked on it over the last few years, helping to create a truly unique gateway to Queensland.
"Everything we set out to achieve was accomplished to the highest quality, all while working within a secure terminal which continued to operate 24/7. This project was completed on time and on budget without any major disruptions to passengers or operations due to a focused and collaborative approach by all.
The redevelopment project aimed to create a distinct space that differentiated Brisbane Airport from other airports around the world. The project has already been recognized with an award for Excellence in Design from the Queensland Property Council.
Brisbane Airport's newly redeveloped terminal includes a themed departures lounge, walkthrough duty free stores for departures and arrivals, several specialty retail outlets and restaurants, and panoramic views of the airport's runways.
To help create a sense of place for passengers, BAC asked Queensland artists to provide artwork that reflected the local region, while local building materials were used wherever possible. This included locally sourced stone, timbers and plants, which define the terminal's dedicated work and relaxation areas. Additionally, the construction of three new airline lounges and a day spa are scheduled for completion in early 2016.


Replaced by TSP650II Thermal Printer The TSP650 features the best of both worlds by coupling the comfort of legacy products with the speed and connection options demanded today in hospitality environments. The TSP650 has all the new features of the TSP100 series, such as low cost and high performance combined with the ability to work effectively in any environment. Out of the box, the TSP650 can easily be configured in Star Line or ESC/POS® emulation mode and features swappable interface options including USB and Ethernet. New vertical mount stand and splash proof cover options help make it one of the most reliable POS printers in the world.
With its drop in and print paper loading, small footprint and reliable guillotine cutter, the TSP650 is a welcomed addition to POS systems. The TSP650 is ideal for retail establishments and restaurants. Demand everything from your receipt printer.

[Blog] House bill would ban sale, production of PFAS in North Carolina
By Lisa Sorg | The Progressive Pulse | May 15, 2020
Read the full article by Lisa Sorg (The Progressive Pulse)
"Companies could no longer manufacture PFAS, also known as perfluorinated compounds, in North Carolina under a new proposal, House Bill 1109.
If enacted into law, the measure would also prohibit the export of the toxic compounds, 'except for products specifically authorized or required to contain PFAS under federal law.'
The bill was introduced May 14; it has eight co-sponsors, all Democrats: Pricey Harrison, John Autry, Alison Dahle, Susan Fisher, Marcia Morey, Deb Butler, Zack Hawkins and Raymond Smith.
There are 5,000 types of PFAS. Most are used in, or byproducts of, the manufacture of dozens of waterproof and stain-resistant consumer goods, such as clothing, cookware, pizza boxes, microwave popcorn bags, and more.
Of the few types of PFAS that scientists have studied, all have been linked to various health problems in humans, including several cancers, thyroid disorders, low birth weight, high blood pressure during pregnancy, ulcerative colitis and high cholesterol.
The compounds are widespread in the environment, especially rivers, lakes groundwater and drinking water supplies. They are often referred to as 'forever chemicals' because they take decades to degrade.
The bill would allow DEQ to assess civil penalties of $5,000 to $25,000 for the first offense, and $10,000 for subsequent offenses. The maximum penalty for one month is $200,000.
It also would appropriate $100,000 in one-time money for additional monitoring and enforcement.
Several of the same sponsors also introduced two additional PFAS-related measures:
HB 1108 would require any company that discharges PFAS into the waterways to disclose the types, amounts and concentrations in order to receive a permit from the NC Department of Environmental Quality.
The same information would be required of wastewater treatment plants, both public and private, that receive discharges from industry. Those plants would have to remove the PFAS before discharging or require the industrial source to do so…"

Білоруська атомна електростанція (БілАЕС) (, ) — АЕС типу АЕС-2006, розташована за 18 км від м. Островець Гродненської області Республіки Білорусь. Пуск І енергоблоку АЕС (типу ВВЕР-1200) провели 7 листопада 2020 року. На ІІ енергоблоці ВВЕР-1200 тривають будівельні роботи. Спочатку планувалося ввести перший блок на рік раніше, але термін кілька разів переносили. На станції працюють понад 2 тис. осіб.

Будівництво АЕС забезпечила російська компанія «Атомстройекспорт». На будівництво Білоруської АЕС було отримано кредит від РФ у розмірі 10 млрд $. На 1 березня 2021 року використано коштів на суму 4,7 млрд $.

Загальна орієнтовна вартість будівництва за попередніми оцінками складе близько 6 млрд $.

АЕС активно критикують у Литві через близькість до кордону (у сонячний день АЕС видно у бінокль з Вільнюської телевежі), і в Україні як прихований примус Росії купувати електроенергію в Білорусі, відбиваючи таким чином російські інвестиції в економіку Білорусі за рахунок українського споживача та підтримку режиму Лукашенка.

Хід будівництва

Роботи з виїмки ґрунту розпочалися наприкінці 2011 року.

2 листопада 2013 року Президент Білорусі Олександр Лукашенко підписав указ № 499, що дозволив генеральному підряднику, російському ЗАТ «Атомстройекспорт», розпочати будівництво АЕС.

На кінець травня 2014 року на будмайданчику вирили котлован і розпочали роботи зі зведення фундаменту будівлі енергоблоку № 2. Будівництво енергоблоку № 1 також ведеться активними темпами. На енергоблоці у 2014 році запланували виконати роботи з монтажу фундаментної плити, спорудження будівлі реактора до нульової позначки, шахти реактора — до позначки +7,35 м, внутрішньої захисної оболонки — до 8 м.

Станом на лютий 2018 року на будівельному майданчику енергоблока № 1 проводилися тепло- та електромонтажні роботи, почалися пусконалагоджувальні роботи та планувалося розпочати пролив технологічних систем на розущіленний реактор, що є промиванням обладнанням та початком тестування. За планом, у квітні мали початися гідровипробування. На майданчику енергоблоку № 2 встановлено корпус реактору, почався монтаж обладнання і зварювання головного циркуляційного трубопроводу. Також зведені будівлі ядерного обслуговування, електропостачання нормальної експлуатації, водопідготовки та допоміжного корпусу.

У 2018 році на БілАЕС провели стрес-тести. За їх результатами Держатомнагляд Білорусі ухвалив національний план дій. Також тести виявили, що принципових допрацювань на станції проводити не потрібно. У червні 2018 року Європейська група з нагляду ядерної безпеки (ENSREG) схвалила звіт за підсумками партнерської перевірки результатів стрес-тестів БілАЕС та надала їй «загальний позитивний висновок». Згідно з висновками, АЕС є стійкою до землетрусів, повеней та екстремальних погодних умов. Хоча експерти попередили, що сейсмічні дані не були повністю доступними, і закликали регулятора забезпечити, щоб стічні води не могли надходити в будівлі, пов'язані з безпекою. У звіті також високо оцінюється система безпеки відведення тепла, оскільки вона може працювати автономно протягом 24-год. періоду навіть під час відключення електроенергії. Проте у доповіді запропонували запровадити додаткові заходи, такі як резервні водяні насоси. Візит групи експертів до Білорусі відбувся 12—16 березня 2018 року, а візит Ради з партнерської перевірки — 12—14 червня 2018 року.

У 2018 році на БілАЕС планувалось завезення першої партії ядерного палива. Паливо мають прийняти, розмістити на зберігання, а після забезпечення готовності АЕС до повного завантаження мають провести фізичний пуск енергоблоку, який дозволить перевірити параметри активної зони. Станом на березень 2019 року на І енергоблоці БілАЕС тривали пусконалагоджувальні роботи, підготовка до гідровипробувань, холодної та гарячої обкатки обладнання. Наступним етапом має стати фізичний запуск реактора. На ІІ енергоблоці продовжувався монтаж обладнання. Пізніше на обладнанні І енергоблоку розпочалися пусконаладжувальні роботи. Провели пробний пуск усіх чотирьох головних циркуляційних насосів, гідравлічні випробування усіх систем І та ІІ контурів реакторної установки.

7 лютого 2019 року на зустрічі сторін Конвенції Еспо вирішили, що Білорусь порушила Конвенцію при виборі місця для будівництва своєї атомної електростанції.

У жовтні 2019 року директор станції Михайло Філімонов повідомив журналістам, що фізичний запуск першого енергоблоку БілАЕС відбудеться у січні 2020 року. Також, за словами заступника міністра енергетики Білорусі Михайла Михадюка, початок роботи ІІ енергоблоку планується на 2021 рік.

6 травня 2020 року Литва надіслала до Білорусі запит щодо зупинки запуску АЕС та прохання організувати стрес-тести за участю експертів з Євросоюзу.

7 листопада 2020 року станцію відкрили, але 10.11.2020 турбіну і виробництво електроенергії зупинили. Це пояснювалося виходом із ладу трансформаторів напруги.

На ІІ енергоблоці БілАЕС завершили завантаження в реактор імітаторів тепловидільних збірок. Усього в активну зону реактора їх завантажено 163 шт. Імітатори ТВЗ є точною копією тепловидільних збірок, повністю повторюючи їх конструкцію. Вони використовуються замість штатних ТВЗ в період пусконалагоджувальних робіт для перевірки реакторної установки на відповідність проєктним характеристикам і вимогам безпеки. Нині на ІІ енергоблоці тривають роботи зі збірки реактора для подальшої його підготовки до гідравлічних випробувань і циркуляційної промивки систем І контуру.

Підготовка до пуску станції

Перший енергоблок
Фізичному запуску першого енергоблоку передуватимуть роботи зі завезення на майданчик станції ядерного палива виробництва компанії ТВЕЛ. Завантаження палива у реактор І енергоблоку означатиме фактичний початок експлуатації Білоруської АЕС. При тому, що ще деякий час триватимуть роботи з підключення енергоблоку до мережі та вивід його на 100 % потужність. Наприкінці 2019 на І енергоблоці розпочався найбільший етап робіт, пов'язаний із запуском АЕС, а саме гаряча обкатка реакторного обладнання. Повідомлялося, що цей технологічний процес імітує роботу енергоблоку з тією різницею, що у реактор завантажені імітатори тепловидільних збірок.

Після завантаження палива до реактора, ІІ фаза фізичного пуску — «холодні» випробування (за температури реакторної установки до 130 °С проводяться гідравлічні випробування). ІІІ фаза — «гарячі» (випробування з підняттям температури вище 130 °С).

6 травня 2020 року паливо для І енергоблоку АЕС прибуло на майданчик станції для подальшого завантаження. На станції готові і атестовані спеціальні приміщення, обладнання для приймання, обробки, обігу та зберігання прибулого ядерного палива. Персонал станції пройшов спеціальну підготовку і знаходиться в постійній готовності до прийому палива і забезпечення його вхідного контролю. Партія ядерного палива для початкового завантаження в реактор І енергоблоку АЕС виготовлена на Новосибірському заводі хімконцентратів (входить до паливної компанії Росатому «ТВЕЛ»). Рівень його збагачення варіюється від 1,3 до 4,4 %.

7 серпня 2020 року Міненергетики Білорусі повідомило про початок завантаження ядерного палива до активної зони реактора І енергоблоку, що є початком пуску реактора. Після закінчення завантаження реактор планується вивести на 1 % потужності.

20 серпня 2020 року Держатомнагляд повідомив, що в реакторну установку І енергоблоку завантажені 163 касети з ядерним паливом. ЯП було вироблено на Новосибірському заводі хімконцентратів.

8 жовтня 2020 року АЕС отримала дозвіл на виконання фізичних експериментів на малій потужності на енергоблоці № 1. Колегія МНС ухвалила позитивне рішення про внесення доповнення до ліцензії ДП «Білоруська АЕС» на право діяльності в галузі використання атомної енергії та джерел іонізуючого випромінювання. Це доповнення дозволяє приступити до переходу на мінімально контрольований рівень потужності та проведенню фізичних експериментів на малій потужності реактора енергоблоку № 1. Крім того, АЕС отримала право на виконання робіт щодо поводження з експлуатаційними радіоактивними відходами.

11 жовтня 2020 року о 2:26 в реакторі І енергоблоку запущена ланцюгова реакція ділення, реакторна установка виведена на мінімальний контрольований рівень потужності. Таким чином розпочато життєвий цикл реактора.

3 листопада 2020 року о 12:03 І енергоблок був синхронізований із мережею і видав перші кіловат-години електричної енергії до єдиної енергетичної системи Республіки Білорусь.

Після цього розпочалося поступове збільшення потужності реактора до 50 % від номінальної з виконанням запланованих вимірів та випробувань. Наступний етап — дослідно-промислова експлуатація зі збільшенням потужності до 100 %— розпочнеться в кінці листопада— на початку грудня 2020 року.

Промислова експлуатація І енергоблоку планується в І кварталі 2021 року.

13 січня 2021 року І енергоблок запрацював на повну потужність.

У лютому 2021 року АЕС виробила перший 1 млрд кВт·год електроенергії.

Приймання в експлуатацію І енергоблоку намічено на квітень-травень 2021 року. Але спершу мають відбутися громадські слухання, після чого Держатомнагляд підготує висновок, на підставі якого видадуть ліцензію на експлуатацію. Отримавши необхідну документацію, до роботи приступить приймальна комісія, яка підтвердить готовність БілАЕС до експлуатації.

Другий енергоблок
У травні 2021 року на АЕС завершився етап завезення і проведення вхідного контролю ядерного палива (тепловиділяючих збірок і поглинаючих стрижнів системи управління і захисту) для початкового завантаження в реактор енергоблоку № 2.

До кінця 2021 року планується завантаження свіжого ядерного палива в активну зону реакторної установки ІІ енергоблоку. А підключення в енергомережу та введення в експлуатацію ІІ енергоблоку планується у 2022 році.

27 грудня 2021 року на електростанції завершено роботи із завантаження ядерного палива в активну зону реактора ІІ енергоблоку. У реактор завантажено 163 ТВЗ зі свіжим ядерним паливом.

Заходи щодо інтеграції атомної станції до енергосистеми країни
Побудовано близько 1,6 тис. км високовольтних електромереж, модернізовано 4 системоутворюючі електричні підстанції, введено в експлуатацію високотехнологічну підстанцію на 330 кВ «Постави». На 20 енергооб'єктах введено в дію сучасні електрокотли сумарною потужністю 916 МВт.

Пуск станції
2 червня 2021 року Колегія МНС Республіки Білорусь видала дозвіл на промислову експлуатацію енергоблока № 1.

10 червня 2021 року підписано акт приймання в експлуатацію пускового комплексу енергоблоку № 1 (генеральний проектувальник і генеральний підрядник— Інжиніринговий дивізіон Держкорпорації «Росатом»).

12 липня 2020 року на І енергоблоці спрацював автоматичний захист генератора. Блок було відключено від мережі, проводилася діагностика технологічних систем та вузлів турбогенератора.

4 жовтня 2020 року о 18:20 І енергоблок включений до мережі.

Звіти про результати перевірок на сайті МАГАТЕ.

Улітку 2021 року Білорусь планує прийняти місію МАГАТЕ з фізичного захисту ядерних матеріалів (IPPAS).

У IV кварталі 2021 року очікується проведення пост-місії з комплексної оцінки регулюючої інфраструктури (IRRS), а у 2022 році — пост-місії з аварійної готовності та реагування (EPREV).

INIR 3
Місія МАГАТЕ з комплексної оцінки розвитку національної інфраструктури ядерної енергетики (INIR 3) працювала в Білорусі з 24 лютого по 4 березня. До складу групи входили 1 експерт з Алжиру, 2 з Великої Британії, а також 7 співробітників МАГАТЕ. Експерти аналізували інфраструктуру за 19 напрямками її розвитку, позначеними в документі агентства для країн-новачків у сфері ядерної енергетики — Milestones (Віхи). Ця місія була другою за рахунком місією INIR в Білорусі. Під час місії розглянули підготований білоруською стороною звіт про розвиток всіх напрямків ядерної інфраструктури, проведені наради в форматі інтерв'ю з білоруськими експертами по кожному з цих напрямків. Участь у заходах місії INIR 3 брали представники Міненерго, МНС, МЗС, Мінприроди, Міносвіти, МОЗ, Об'єднаного інституту енергетичних і ядерних досліджень «Сосни» НАН Білорусі, ГПО «Біленерго», БілАЕС.

За підсумками місії надали сім рекомендацій і підкреслили п'ять позитивних практик, які можуть застосовувати інші країни у себе при створенні інфраструктури.

Pre-OSART
Метою місії Pre-OSART є надання допомоги ядерним операторам у підвищенні експлуатаційної безпеки АЕС, а також виявлення сфер для підвищення безпеки, оцінки експлуатаційних програм шляхом їх порівнювання зі стандартами безпеки МАГАТЕ, а також надання відповідних рекомендацій. До складу групи з 15 осіб входили експерти з Вірменії, Бельгії, Бразилії, Франції, Нідерландів, РФ, Словаччини та США, а також представники МАГАТЕ. Огляд охоплював здійснювані оперативні програми, включно з такими областями: керівництвом та управлінням з метою безпеки, навчанням та кваліфікацією, операціями, підтримкою, технічною підтримкою, досвідом роботи, радіаційним захистом, хімією, готовністю до надзвичайних ситуацій і реагування, управлінням аваріями і введенням АЕС в експлуатацію.

Команда визначила низку передових методів, які будуть поширені в ядерній галузі у всьому світі, в тому числі:

 Надійна система сигналізації, яка не тільки подає звуковий сигнал, але і може використовуватися підприємством для надання усної інформації та інструкцій населенню в разі радіологічних та інших аварійних ситуацій.
 Аварійне укриття для пожежної частини станції, що забезпечує такий же рівень радіологічного захисту, як і для персоналу станції.
 Вбудована панель управління в головному диспетчерському пункті, спеціально розроблена для управління і контролю мобільного устаткування, необхідного в надзвичайних ситуаціях.

Місія висловила кілька рекомендацій, спрямованих на своєчасне зміцнення експлуатаційної безпеки для забезпечення оперативної готовності. Також вона оглянула зобов'язання керівництва станції із забезпечення безпечної та надійної експлуатації.

Співпраця з європейськими експертами
9—10 лютого 2021 року Біларусь прийняла експертну місію ENSREG, експерти провели партнерський огляд Національного плану дій щодо імплементації результатів стрес-тестів. На майданчику БілАЕС працювала група з 9 осіб, яку очолював генеральний директор Центру з ядерної та радіаційної безпеки Фінляндії Петтері Тійппана. Експерти відвідали об'єкти станції, ознайомилися з матеріалами про реалізацію Нацплану, поставили запитання представникам Держатомнагляду, Міненерго, АТ ІК «АСЕ» і фахівцям БілАЕС. За підсумками візиту керівник експертної групи, генеральний директор STUK Фінляндії Петтері Тійппан підкреслив, що експерти змогли відвідати всі необхідні об'єкти АЕС, отримати документацію і відповіді на всі їхні запитання.

За підсумками партнерської перевірки підготували звіт, попередня версія якого опублікована в березні 2021. Голова ENSREG Марта Жякова позитивно оцінила співпрацю з білоруською стороною і відзначила прогрес у частині розгляду рекомендацій експертів з пріоритетних питань.

Нині Білорусь виконує Національний план дій, в якому враховані рекомендації національних та європейських експертиз. Термін його реалізації — 2019—2025 роки, частина з яких вже виконана.

У травні — червні 2021 року на майданчику Білоруської АЕС планується проведення місії експертів ENSREG. Місія триватиме 1,5 тижні та за її підсумками буде підготовлена остаточна версія звіту ENSREG про партнерський огляд Нацплану дій. Терміни місії будуть уточнюватися відповідно до епідеміологічної ситуації.

Надзвичайні події
На початку травня 2016 у ЗМІ з'явилася інформація про нібито обвалення конструкції на будівельному майданчику, унаслідок чого корпус реактора міг впасти з висоти 2-4 м. МЗС Литви передало ноту протесту білоруському послу, а влада Литви вимагала розслідування інциденту, з результатами якого повинні ознайомитися сусідні держави і МАГАТЕ. Президент Литви Даля Грибаускайте заявила про недопуск спостерігачів. МЗС Білорусі заявило, що литовській стороні передали офіційну інформацію про відсутність будь-яких інцидентів за весь час ведення робіт на об'єкті. У 2018 інцидент підтвердили офіційні особи. Заступник міністра енергетики Білорусі Михайло Михадюк та віцепрезидент — в. о. керівника будівництва Віталій Полянін запевнили журналістів, що НП із незначним пошкодженням корпусу реактора під час проведення такелажних робіт мала місце. За їхніми словами, після того корпус реактору замінили.

Станом на жовтень 2016, за час будівництва АЕС на будмайданчику сталося 10 нещасних випадків, 2 з них закінчилися смертю будівельників. 16.07.2018 на майданчику будівництва при падінні з висоти загинув монтажник.

Технічні параметри
Заплановано, що станція матиме 2 енергоблоки з реакторами типу ВВЕР-1200 (В-491) покоління 3+ потужністю до 1200 МВт кожен. Проєктна потужність АЕС складає 2,4 тис. МВт.

Енергоблоки

Опозиція
Плани атомної електростанції викликали кілька занепокоєнь. Групи громадянського суспільства проводили агітацію та збирали підписи проти будівництва атомної електростанції в Білорусі. Молоді члени Білоруського народного фронту проводили кампанію проти можливої участі Росії у будівництві електростанції та закликали білоруський уряд укласти контракт на будівництво атомної електростанції з компанією, яка базується в іншій країні, крім Росії. Група білоруських учених заснувала рух за без'ядерну Білорусь, стверджуючи, що білоруський уряд розпочав підготовку до будівництва АЕС до закінчення терміну дії мораторію, прийнятого в 1999 році. Термін дії мораторію закінчився 14 січня 2009 року.

Опозиція Литви
Атомна електростанція розташовується всього в 22 км від державного кордону Литви та Білорусі та всього в 49 км до столиці Литви — Вільнюсу. Ще з початку будівництва атомної електростанції Литва, яка самостійно зупинила свою атомну електростанцію Ігналінську АЕС виступила рішучим противником проти вибору місця під побудову електростанції країною-сусідкою та оголосила намір бойкотувати її. Найбільше занепокоєння викликає безпека атомної станції, де під час будівництва вже сталося кілька серйозних інцидентів. Литовська влада звинуватила Білорусь у недостатній прозорості інвестицій та неможливості оцінити її безпеку та вплив на навколишнє середовище в Литві.

Наміри про будь-які подальші блокади закупівлі електроенергії з Білорусі влада Литви оголосила і в євроспільноті та навіть в Україні. Оскільки, станом на 2021 рік, Литва, Латвія, Естонія, Білорусь, Україна та РФ знаходяться у єдиній енергосистемі — з початку пуску атомної електростанції, з боку керівництва Литви пролунали звинувачення до Латвії щодо транзитного експорту білоруської електроенергії через кордони цих країн, як наслідок Литва заявила про намір перенести межі торгівлі електроенергію до своїх кордонів. Президент Литви Ґітанас Науседа, відвідуючи Україну, під час виступу у Верховній Раді колегіально закликав Україну не купувати електроенергію в Білорусі — адже Литва підтримує територіальну цілісність України, санкції проти Росії та адвокатує й інтереси України.

Прем'єр-міністр Литви, відвідуючи Україну з робочим візитом, назвав експорт електроенергії з Білорусії спільною загрозою як і Литви, так і України, адже білоруська атомна електростанція побудована на російські гроші і оплату за електроенергію буде передавати як виплату кредиту в Росію 2023 року. На зустрічі активно обговорювались інтеграційні процеси країн до ENTSO-E як запобіжник експорту з Білорусі.

Опозиція України
Білоруська атомна електростанція будувалася Росатомом під дешеві кредити з Росії, який після 2023 року Білорусь має виплачувати Росії. Під аналогічні дешеві кредити, подробиці яких приховані, добудовується атомна електростанція в Угорщині, що також виключить Угорщину з кіл покупців електроенергії з України, як це сталось з Білоруссю. Покупка дешевої електроенергії з Росії та Білорусі вже не раз визнавалася у експертних колах як троянський кінь на кордоні з Україною, начинений дешевою електроенергією, який унеможливить розвиток власної електроенергетики України та зробить її залежною від Росії.

Із моменту запуску Білоруської атомної електростанції, Україна стала активним регулярним імпортером електроенергії з Білорусі в об'ємах 100—200 МВт у вечірні та вранішній та денні часи, що активно критикується в українському суспільстві і визнається фактичним фінансуванням інвестицій Росії в економіку Білорусі, а українська влада критикується щодо умисного тихого лобіювання інтересів Росії та примушення торгівлі з Росією: так, холодної зими 2021 року нове керівництво енергоатому, після незрозумілого звільнення двічі обраного президента Недашковського, уперше в історії затягнуло ремонти енергоблоків, спричинило навантаження теплової генерації власності ДТЕК енерго Рината Ахметова, моментально використало всі запаси вугілля, якого, у свою чергу, звинуватили в умисному бойкотуванні накопиченні адекватних запасів вугілля, аварійній зупинці низки енергоблоків теплової генерації та призвело до вимушеного імпорту електроенергії з Білорусі.

Закупівля електроенергії в Білорусі викликає критику опозиційно налаштованих депутатів щодо підтримки режиму Лукашенка перед європейською спільнотою, ставить під загрозу руйнування партнерських відносин з Європейським Союзом із мовчазної згоди президента та Кабінету Міністрів.

Fault-tolerant computer manufacturer Stratus Technologies said on Friday that it has signed two new deals worth a total of $9m (£5.3m) with NEC.
The two companies have signed a joint product development alliance and have also agreed a long-term hardware purchasing arrangement. As part of the deal, NEC's shareholding in Stratus has increased to 9 percent.
Stratus sells the Continuum line of servers, based on its own architecture, to some of the world's largest banks and other financial institutions that require guaranteed "five nines" (99.999 percent) uptime. It also had the open ftServer series for telecoms companies and W Series for Microsoft applications.
The company is targeting one of the faster growth areas of the market. According to IDC, the market for high-availability servers will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3 percent through 2008.
In October, Stratus moved into the open source market when it announced a deal with Red Hat to support Red Hat Enterprise AS, which is designed for mission-critical applications. The Linux server portion of the fault-tolerant market is growing at a CAGR of 63 percent.
Under the joint product development agreement, Stratus and NEC will cross-licence technologies and collaborate on the development of future fault-tolerant servers, and provide "core fault-tolerant technology".
The primary responsibility for hardware will shift to NEC, which will design and manufacture "a common hardware platform", which Stratus will buy. Both companies will manufacture their own versions of servers for their own markets.
The first jointly engineered server is expected in late 2006. Stratus said it expects to reduce costs and headcount as a result of the deal but did not release estimates on the numbers involved.
Stratus posted a $4.6m profit in the three months to 31 August, after making a loss in the same period last year.


Guilders have gone and the only currency you can use are the Euro's (€). Credit cards are generally accepted, but not as widely as in the US. Most accepted credit cards are Visa and MasterCard. Nowadays your signature isn't good enough anymore to use your credit card. You need to get a pin-code to be able to use your credit card in most stores.
The best place to change money is the GWK. They offer the best exchange rates for the lowest fee. Then there are also the general banks (like ABN Amro, Rabobank, VSB and ING) which also offer reasonable deals. The specialized currency exchanges (loud ads, small offices) tend to have higher fees, which makes it overall more expensive. For addresses see separate section.
Cash tills or ATM's are scattered around the city, but unlike in several other countries they are not (yet) in many shops or bars. Most of them will accept your bankcard, so it will be easy to get money. On every cash till there is the logo's which should correspond with one of the logos on your bankcard. If you don't see a matching logo, look out for another cash till.
In Holland people also use electronic ways of paying: pinnen. With pinnen they give electronic permission to transfer money to the shop's account. Apply for a Dutch bank account when you are staying longer in Holland and want to use these options.
After these tips shopping in Amsterdam may sound like a journey in the jungle. Have no fear! It is fun and there is a lot to spend your money on.
We've listed the main exchange branches of the banks. Of course there are more branches so when you're familiar with their logo's watch out for them. Many of these branches have closed though and the only thing left are the ATM's. Do not accept offers to change money from people in the street: they will trick you out of your money!

Gordon, Augustin rally Rockets to 132-126 win over Hawks
ATLANTA (AP) — Eric Gordon scored 32 points, D.J. Augustin added 22 and the Houston Rockets handed the Atlanta Hawks their fifth straight home loss, rallying from 19 points down for a 132-126 victory Monday night.
Houston won on the road for only the second time this season, overcoming a 41-point performance by Trae Young.
The Rockets trailed most of the game and were down 101-88 heading to the final quarter.
But Augustin hit a 3-pointer with 3:31 remaining that gave Houston its first lead, 121-119, since the opening quarter. David Nwaba set up the basket by stealing a pass from Young.
After Clint Capela missed a pair of free throws, Gordon scored on a drive to the basket. He tacked on a 3 pointer that made it 126-121.
Young connected on a 3 of his own with 23.9 seconds remaining, cutting the Houston lead to 126-124. But the Rockets, the worst free-throw shooting team in the league, knocked down four straight from the line to seal the victory.
Seven players scored in double figures for Houston, which has won eight of 10 since a 15-game losing streak.

"This was a great way for this team to show growth. We were down the whole game, but different guys stepped up," Gordon said. "When multiple guys are doing that, you always give yourself a chance to win."
The Hawks scored a season-high 69 points in the first half, but it wasn't enough to hold off the Rockets.
Houston outscored the Hawks 44-25 in the final period, hitting 16 of 25 shots — including 8 of 11 from 3-point range.
It's been quite a turnaround for the rebuilding Rockets, who started the season 1-16.
"It doesn't matter who's on the floor for us," Augustin said. "Everybody is ready for their opportunity."
Coming into the season with high hopes after a surprising run to the Eastern Conference final, the Hawks keep breaking down in the fourth quarter.
They have lost five of their last seven — all at home — to slip to 13-14 on the season. All five of those defeats have been by single digits.
"We scored enough to win tonight," Young said. "We just didn't get enough stops. We've got to figure it out."

Young, who also had nine assists, was essentially a one-man team. He hit 14 of 22 shots, including five 3-pointers.
John Collins added 14 points for the Hawks and no one else had more than 12. Capela did have 16 rebounds, but the Hawks were outrebounded 45-40.
NWABA STEPS UP
The Rockets got a big contribution from Nwaba, who scored 10 points, grabbed six rebounds, doled out three assists and had that big steal in 11 1/2 minutes.
Nwaba has played sparingly in recent weeks, including a stretch of six straight games in which he never left the bench.
But he was a big key to the comeback. The Rockets outscored the Hawks by 17 points while he was on the court.
"I'm the guy who brings energy," Nwaba said. "I think I showcased that tonight."
STREAK ENDS
Young just missed extending his streak of games with at least 25 points and 10 assists.
He's already in pretty good company.
Young joined Michael Jordan and Russell Westbrook as the only players to pull off that feat in at least five consecutive games since the NBA-ABA merger.
Rockets: Improved to 2-12 on the road. … Gordon returned after missing the previous game at Memphis with a groin injury. … Shooting a league-low 69.9% from the foul line, Houston made 21 of 27.
Hawks: G Bogdan Bogdanovic missed his sixth straight game with a sprained right ankle. While there is still no timetable for his return, he has stepped up his rehab to include individual on-court workouts. … C Onyeka Okongwu is also moving closer to returning from shoulder surgery. He's on a rehab assignment with the G League's College Park Skyhawks, where he had 10 points and 15 rebounds in his first game since last season's conference final.
Rockets: Wrap up a three-game trip Wednesday night at the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Hawks: Travel to Orlando to face the Magic on Wednesday night.

Foxconn to inject US$270 million to expand production in Vietnam
hanguyen0409 26-11-2020, 14:21
As part of the world's largest financial publication, Nikkei Asia has recently published an article which unveils Foxconn's plans to expand production in the nation with an investment of approximately US$270 million.
Foxconn will soon establish a new local company in Vietnam, where it already

According to the article, Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry and based in Taiwan (China), began producing liquid crystal displays in the country last week with the aim of taking advantage of the recently-signed Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement, with hopes that they will bolster their local production capacity.
The piece notes that the RCEP was signed by 15 members on November 15 in an effort to reduce tariffs and allow seamless trade throughout Asia. Foxconn therefore plans to roll out full-scale production nationwide whilst enjoying the full benefits of the trade agreement's framework.
Furthermore, Foxconn will soon establish a new local company in the country. Indeed, although further details have yet to be disclosed, the company will likely produce PC-related parts such as displays.
Although Taiwan (China) is not a part of the RCEP, most of Foxconn's production bases are in mainland China. Indeed, despite the northern neighbour being part of the trading bloc, the uncertainty surrounding their relations with the United States has led many companies, including Foxconn, to search for better production sites.
The article indicates that as a member of RCEP, the nation's close geographically location to China makes it convenient for the purpose of parts procurement, whilst also having cheap labour costs.
Young Liu, chairman of Foxconn, has stated that, "The investment fever in Vietnam by major businesses is already quite considerable", whilst, "It is difficult to find land in North Vietnam" close to the border with China. On Wednesday, he noted that his company makes a wide range of products the nation, including TVs, telecom equipment, and computer-related products.
Foxconn is currently rushing to shift away from being overly dependent on Chinese production, with the primary goal of developing efforts outside of China in order to eventually make up over 30% of the firm's overall production.
Rival companies such as Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Pegatron, along with contract manufacturer Wistron, have also decided to expand into the nation, with the latter planning to invest US$1 billion in an effort to build a manufacturing complex at the Nam Dinh Vu industrial park in the northern city of Hai Phong.

Sygna discovered
The 33/9-19 S and 33/9-19 A wells drilled from 29 June to 23 July 1996 on the Sygna structure by Transocean Wildcat discovered oil in middle Jurassic sandstones.

Located about 22 kilometres north of Statfjord in some 300 metres of water, this discovery was tied back to the C platform in the same way as the Statfjord North and East satellites. The Norwegian licensees took the view that Sygna was covered by the principles enshrined in the bridging agreement, which dealt with the tie-in of satellites to Statfjord.
That view was contested by the British licensees, and negotiations were required. After fairly tough talks, agreement was reached with the UK partners. Under this deal, a "Sygna fee" was to be paid by that field's licensees to the Statfjord Unit, which meant the British licensees received 14.5 per cent of the sum paid.

Q:  is appearing after  element on the front end, but it is not in the back end. How do I get rid of it? I am using the Enfold theme from Kriesi, the Avia layout builder, the 'tab' setup in the Avia layout builder, the plugin 'Ultimate FAQ', and shortcodes from that plugin to pull through different categories of FAQs.
In my first tab, I have this code:
c Expand All
C Collapse All
[select-faq faq_id='6486']
[ultimate-faqs include_category='a-to-c']
[ultimate-faqs include_category='d-to-h']
[ultimate-faqs include_category='i-to-n']
[ultimate-faqs include_category='o-to-v']
[ultimate-faqs include_category='w-to-z']

The  stuff is code from the FAQ creator to expand/collapse all FAQ answers. Here is my page, if you use the page inspector it shows two
s between the expand/collapse control and the FAQ.
But I didn't put any
 there.  I don't know where they're coming from.

A: I'm going to guess that this is a Wordpress question.
By default Wordpress injects
 tags into the content where a new line occurs. It's designed to help content writers. You won't see it in the text editor as it's added behind the scenes via a 'filter'.
Unfortunately the only way you're going to overcome your problem is to write PHP or JS code in the theme file itself. HTML and CSS will not work here. There's a question that deals with this problem using filters here.
EDIT: Something you could try is removing any whitespace between elements to stop the  tags being injected i.e;
c Expand AllC Collapse All[select-faq faq_id='6486']
[ultimate-faqs include_category='a-to-c']
[ultimate-faqs include_category='d-to-h']
[ultimate-faqs-include_category='i-to-n']
[ultimate-faqs include_category='o-to-v']
[ultimate-faqs include_category='w-to-z']

This will largely depend on how the editor works though so no promises.

A: This works via console.  Try placing it in a script tag prior to the end of the body element.
    jQuery(function() {
        jQuery('span.ewd-ufaq-collapse-all').next('br').remove();
    });


This report highlights Audit Analytics review of going concern opinions for the past 15 years. For 2014, estimates indicate that 15.8% of audit opinions will express an uncertainty with respect to the auditor's going concern assumption. As of July 14, 2014, the SEC received 435 new going concerns for FY 2014 and this figure results in an estimated amount of 530 total new going concerns for 2014. In addition to new going concerns, Audit Analytics identified companies that filed a going concern one year but not the following year. Much more is contained in this report.


Near to the end of the story that starts with stars exploding in the Galaxy and ends with extra clouds gathering, a small but important paragraph was missing till now. From experiments in Copenhagen reported in 2006 and reconfirmed in 2011 in Aarhus and Geneva (CERN, CLOUD), cosmic rays coming from old supernovas can indeed make molecular clusters a few millionths of a millimetre wide, floating in the air. But can these aerosols really grow nearly a million times in mass to be large enough to become "cloud condensation nuclei" on which water droplets can form – as required by Henrik Svensmark's cosmic theory of climate change?
Opponents pointed out that theoretical models said No, the growth of additional aerosols would be blocked by a resulting shortage of condensable gases like sulphuric acid in the atmosphere.
In the limelight of the atmospheric drama, sulphuric acid is one of the commonest of trace gases and very important for both the formation and the growth of aerosols. When the Sun rises in the morning, its ultraviolet rays convert sulphur dioxide, ozone and water vapour in the air into sulphuric acid molecules. These are continuously lost as they club together with further water and a little ammonia into very small molecular clusters. Nevertheless, the concentration of sulphuric acid rises to a peak and then diminishes as the Sun goes down in the evening.
A clue that something more is going on comes from the persistence all through the night of sulphuric acid at about 10 per cent of the daytime maximum. If these molecules too are continuously lost, they must be replenished by a chemical reaction that doesn't need ultraviolet light.
What did the new experiment called SKY2 show? Without going into technical details that you'll find in the paper, let's just say that the primary result flatly contradicts the theoretical prediction that the infant aerosols couldn't grow up into cloud condensation nuclei. Here's a figure from the paper.
Molecular clusters grow over time, in the SKY2 experiment in Copenhagen. The horizontal axis is scaled in nanometres (millionths of a millimetre) and each blue point shows the relative number of clusters of that size before and after the experimental runs. Anything over 1.0 means that growth has continued. In contrast, the red points illustrate a pessimistic prediction of previous theories, that growth should cease when the size passes 50 nanometres. On the other hand, the black curve running through the blue points shows what is to be expected if there is a continual supply of sulphuric acid. The persistent growth of clusters occurs only in the presence of gamma rays that simulate cosmic rays and set electrons free to influence the chemistry.
So what's the explanation? What new pathway supplies the sulphuric acid needed to keep the growth going? The Danes recall a suggestion in their 2006 SKY report that electrons can act like catalysts, being used over and over again to promote chemical action. In the new paper they say: A possible explanation could be that the charged clusters are producing additional [sulphuric acid] molecules from reactions involving negative ion chemistry of [ozone, sulphur dioxide and water], where a negative ion can be reused in a catalytic production of several [sulphuric acid molecules].
Depending on the concentrations of trace gases, several may mean dozens. And where do the electrons come from? They are liberated by cosmic rays raining down by night as well as by day. If the results of the experiment and these ideas are confirmed, there's an amazing pay-off. The cosmic rays help to make the extra sulphuric acid that allows (1) a number of additional aerosols to form and (2) a larger number of aerosols to grow into cloud condensation nuclei. Without this second effect the aerosols would grow slowly and most of the extra aerosols would be lost before becoming large enough to seed clouds.
That ions liberated by cosmic rays promote a second pathway for forming sulphuric acid was already known from an experiment performed in Copenhagen in a collaboration with the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Tokyo (see the Enghoff et al. reference below). Depending on whether the sulphuric acid comes from ultraviolet action or is ion-induced, it has different signatures in the relative abundances of isotopes of sulphur. What's more, the number of molecules made by the ion route greatly surpassed the number of ions available, again implying reuse of the electrons in a catalytic fashion.
In experiments where ultraviolet light produces aerosols from trace amounts of ozone, sulphur dioxide, and water vapour, the number of additional small particles produced by ionization by gamma sources all grow up to diameters larger than 50 nm, appropriate for cloud condensation nuclei. This result contradicts both ion-free control experiments and also theoretical models that predict a decline in the response of larger particles due to an insufficiency of condensable gases (which leads to slower growth) and to larger losses by coagulation between the particles. This unpredicted experimental finding points to a process not included in current theoretical models, possibly an ion-induced formation of sulphuric acid in small clusters.
Scandals of a political character engulf climate physics these days, but future historians may shake their heads more sadly over scientific negligence. Isn't it amazing that such a fundamental activity of sulphuric acid, going on over your head right now, has passed unnoticed since 1875 when cloud seeding was discovered, since 1996 when Svensmark found the link between cosmic rays and cloud cover, and since 2006 when the Danes suggested the catalytic role of electrons? Perhaps the experts were confused by the ever-present dislike of the role of the Sun in climate change.
Supernova remnants → cosmic rays → solar modulation of cosmic rays → variations in cluster and sulphuric acid production → variation in cloud condensation nuclei → variation in low cloud formation → variation in climate.
Svensmark won't comment publicly on the new paper until it's accepted for publication. But I can report that, in conversation, he sounds like a man who has reached the end of a very long trek in defiance of continual opposition and mockery.

[ARCHIVED] Upcoming F-35 Night Flying Operations - Vermont Air National Guard
From the Vermont Air National Guard:
The Vermont Air National Guard will begin night flying operations from Tuesday, Oct. 27 through Friday, Oct. 30, with takeoff's occurring between 5 - 7 PM and landings occurring around 8 - 10 PM. Area residents may see and hear F-35A Lightning II aircraft taking off and landing from the Burlington International Airport from 5-10 PM, which is later than our normal daytime flying operations. All night flight training missions are scheduled to be completed before 10 PM. "Night time flying is an important part in our training regimen at the 158th Fighter Wing, not only for our pilots, but for the maintainers as well," said Lt. Col. Anthony Marek, the 134th Flight Squadron commander. "In order to remain ready to fly 24/7, operating and maintaining the F-35 in the hours of darkness keeps us tactically proficient no matter the time of day." The 158th Fighter Wing professionals are required to conduct night operations to meet U.S. Air Force and Major Command requirements and proficiencies. The Vermont Air National Guard will continue regularly scheduled, daytime flying operations during drill weekends, which traditionally occur the first weekend of each month.

Is there a point to paginating articles online?
magzalez
Is it better to paginate a long article or show the entire article on one page?
The following is a side-by-side of the same article. On the left is page one with navigation and on the right is the full article.
Is there data to support that one is better than the other? If so, what makes it better?
The following is an example of the article navigation for a long article.
The user is given the option of just seeing the whole story, skipping to a particular page or going to the next page.
Wouldn't it be easier (read: better) to give the user access to the entire article right away? If the user reads the first page and then decides they want to see the full story, they'll go through a page refresh and be taken to the top of the page with the full story. That can't be a good UX right?
My hunch is this is some sort of ploy to get more clicks on a site, but perhaps I'm missing a real reason why paginating a long article or post might be better.
So, what's the deal?

It sadly wouldn't surprise me if the answer is something along the lines of 'the more new pages we can split an article into, the more adverts we can add in'.
magzalez 9 years ago
That's what I'm afraid of. The problem, of course, is clients don't realize that, and they think it's normal or the "right way" to do long-article page design.
Ben Brocka 9 years ago
There are certain arguments for/against infinite scrolling (http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/5556/pagination-a-thing-of-the-past) but I think when there's a clear end that's not *extremely* long there's nearly 0 reason to paginate beyond inflating page view statistics and ad impressions
user 9 years ago
Having a long article all on one page is not infinite scrolling, so the arguments against infinite scrolling seem moot in this case.
Phil 9 years ago
I always saw pagination as the same tactic large shopping malls use - make winding hallways with big displays to obscure the other end of the mall. That way you're less likely to think "I have to walk _all the way over there?_" Likewise if I'm on a page where the scroll bar handle is incredibly small I'll think "Geeze, this article is long. I won't read it all." If it's paginated, I get to the bottom of a short page and if the article has caught my attention I'll be more enticed to click through to the rest of the article.
dvhh 9 years ago
Another take (beside the profit argument), would also be bandwith and with that early enough page layout. As bandwith could be constrained on some device/country/connection. I would also say that splitting the content would allow serving more client simultaneously (avoiding some slow client to keep server connection for recieving the content). Of course the technical argument is kind of moot considering today's standard.
@MichaelKjörling yeah, I wasn't calling this a case of infinite scrolling, articles are (hopefully) quite finite
Ayyash 9 years ago
you know, technically it is very possible to achieve all goals, here is how: display one page (bandwidth), when scrolled down and hits bottom, fetch via ajax the second page and append, in the same hit, call a google analytics track function, and maybe to spice it up, change the ads displayed on sides, and fix those sides so they linger as user scrolls down... see, a pie big enough for all
O. R. Mapper 7 years ago
@dvhh: Actually, the split article requires *more* bandwidth, at least for the users who click through to load all of its parts. Just think of the boilerplate navigation elements of the page that have to appear along with each part of the article, for example.

Though I think there's a flaw in the _ten slides gets ten times the impressions_ assumption that site designers are making -- if I can tell that content is split across multiple pages, I **don't even bother reading** because **multiple pages are annoying**. Giving up after six seconds may not show up in analytics software, but I'd expect second-page views to be far less than first-page views.
Taj Moore 9 years ago
Slide shows really do increase "impressions," but they dilute the click-through rate. http://www.quora.com/Internet-Advertising/How-do-CPMs-hold-up-when-sites-employ-devices-like-slide-shows-to-increase-page-impressions
user8394 9 years ago
with some clever javascript you can track where someone is in an article as they scroll, think about how the endless scrolling plugin in Wordpress works.
@JarrodRoberson You can, but most sites are not set up that way. Google Analytics normally tracks on the page jump.
reinierpost 9 years ago
Yes, you can measure where people stop clicking through to the next page, but you can't measure whether people stop reading due to having to click through all the time.
skolima 9 years ago
Google Analytics does track how much time you spent on a page - and this is an important metric, if you care about your users. Things like @sarnold mentions *DO* show in the statistics.
@skolima Google's great about tracking stuff like that. It's important to note that while pagination might increase ad revenue on a single article, all else excluded, but frustrating your users will boost your bounce rate and thus harm your SEO.
@skolima Google doesn't normally measure time on a page until you jump to another page: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/tick-tock-the-limitations-of-average-time-on-page-and-average-time-on-site-in-google-analytics-experiment/21439/

Funny then that Google itself splits its search results in pages except for the image search...
@Christian search results != articles
@BenBrocka I don't see why the same reasons for or against pagination shouldn't apply in both cases though, other than that search results often are infinite for all intents and purposes. Anyway, that's why it's called infinite scrolling I guess.
Burhan Ali 9 years ago
Is there any benefit in pagination for mobile versions of an article? The ad argument presumably doesn't count in this instance.
@BurhanAli, I see ad units in mobile versions of articles all the time. Theoretically, it should also help with slow downloads, although I can't imagine text would be all that slow (the ads take longer).
Really? Ads in mobile versions? Ew. In which case single page all the way, given how erratic round trip times can be on mobile connections.
@BurhanAli Mobile ads aren't so bad when they're integrated well. The full-page interrupters are more annoying. Anyway, I'm not saying they're the best, but one must recognize that they are used in ever-widening numbers.
alexwlchan 9 years ago
Great answer. A passing thought: for *really* long articles, especially on slow connections, I think pagination can become necessary. But these are definitely the exceptions. (I'm thinking of something like John Siracusa's OS X reviews).
bigblind 9 years ago
@AlexChan yay, another Siracusa fan! But indeed, I was thinking of his kind of articles too. It's not mainly about the text, but if you want some huge pictures with good resolution, that'll cost you some time to load too . With paginated content, you can preload these. The only thing I really don't like about pagination is that read it later type apps don't always look for the pagination links and fetch the article.
@sys.stderr yo, fellow Siracusian! :) I know Instapaper held out against this sort of multi-page stitching for ages (http://www.marco.org/2011/07/19/siracusa-multipage) and then later relented (http://blog.instapaper.com/post/18556429689), but I can't think of a major service that doesn't do it now. Am I missing one?
Kyralessa 9 years ago
Google is a filthy hypocrite about this. Sure, *Image* Search uses a semi-endless scroll. But regular search, which people use far more often, still uses plain old pagination. Why? The cynical side of me says it's because endless scroll in regular search would make it matter less whether a site is on the first page or not, and would then make that site less likely to buy advertising in order to be on the first page.
@Christian: "I don't see why the same reasons for or against pagination shouldn't apply in both cases" - I think the fact that articles are finite on the one hand, and a coherent text on the other hand (that I don't want split up), plays a decisive role. Search results, on the other hand, are "infinite" and lists of disjoint items (that has to be arbitrarily broken down somehow). I'll have to think deeper about it, but I vastly prefer non-paginated articles, while at the same time, I strongly wish for Google to return to pagination for their Image Search results.
Taj Moore Correct answer
It's no longer necessary to paginate for users, but content providers love it for advertising.
Common knowledge among content strategists in my work is that you paginate in order to increase advertising impressions. A slideshow with ten slides gets ten times the impressions as an article with ten photos. And an article with three pages gets … well, you get the idea.
In the old days, pagination was about bandwidth. And in the old days, people didn't know or want to scroll. But those days are long gone.
From UX Myths (with many studies cited):
Although people weren't used to scrolling in the mid-nineties, nowadays it's absolutely natural to use the browser's scrollbar. For a continuous and lengthy content, like an article or a tutorial, scrolling provides even better usability than slicing up the text to several pages.
And Google is pushing the full-page version in its search results, essentially saying "full pages are better than paginations." Content Strategy blog Eating Elephant writes about it here: Google JUST SAYS NO to Overpagination.
Interestingly, however, multiple pages can be used to track engagement: if users exit on an article page, you can't tell how long they were there, but if they click through each page, you can track their time on each page and how far through the tunnel they've gone. Magazine's Online summarizes this nicely, based on original comments in Twist Image's article on multiples page trickery.
In order to balance business needs for more ad impressions with user needs for the most pleasant experience, consider the following:
Put a "full article" link with pagination somewhere at the top as well as the bottom. (If you only include a "full article" link, you run the risk in some cases of the user believing they are only looking at an abstract, rather than the beginning of the article.
If employing responsive web design principals, serve paginated articles when download speeds will degrade the experience of a full article.
If and when you paginate, do clearly indicate at the top what page the user is on, in case they land there from search results or a link.
[From an in-house developer] If you want the advantages of pagination with a full-page experience, use progressive loading as you see on Facebook and Twitter (also called "infinite scroll," although in this case it's finite).
Mashable does a good job of paginating when it improves the experience and defaulting to one page otherwise. Here's a nicely paginated slideshow on pregnancy time lapse videos, and here's a nice full-page article on self-driving cars. Note that the slideshow loads an ad with each slide (often the same ad).
New York Times appears to have designed some flexibility into their system by making pagination beyond the first page a request string in the URL. That way, if they decide to change to full pages, the URLs don't break (I surmise). Anyway, NYTimes breaks into pages without feeling egregious.

"typescript": "2.0.9"
},

A: For this to work you'd need to return a Promise from getTypeDetails like
getTypeDetails(PlaceUrl){
    return    this.http
        .get(PlaceUrl)
        .map(res => res.json())
        .toPromise();
}

but just returning the Observable is usually the better way
getTypeDetails(PlaceUrl){
    return    this.http
        .get(PlaceUrl)
        .map(res => res.json());
}

with
this.typeApi.getTypeDetails(baseUrl).subscribe(data => {
});

A: Agree whith Gunter,
Additionally I'd suggest you to set method (function) return type everywhere possible, in order to see the type of result the caller will receive.
For the care above:
Assuming that your TypeApi will be reused in multiple callers
public getTypeDetails(apiUrl: string) : Observable<any>{
       return this.http.get(apiUrl)
          .map(res => res.json())
          .catch((error) => this.handleError(error));;
}

//An example of handleError function
private handleError (error: any) {
    // Could dig deeper into the error to get a better message or use a remote logging infrastructure
    let errMsg = (error.message) ? error.message : error.status ? `${error.status} - ${error.statusText}` : 'Server error';
    console.error(errMsg); // log to console instead
    return Observable.throw(errMsg);
  }

Then, when you call this method, you have to subscribe to the result the method will return:
this.typeApi.getTypeDetails(theUrl).subscribe(result => {
    //here you have the analog success function from an ajax call
    //use the received data
   },
   error => {
       //here you have the analog error function from an ajax call
       //treat the error
   }
);

Mclusky Postpone 2022 North American Tour
Keira Anee
News November 26, 2022 2:18 PM By Rachel Brodsky
Mclusky announced that they will need to postpone the remainder of their 2022 North American tour, their first in 18 years. Though the Welsh post-hardcore band's September dates in Los Angeles, Oakland, Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver have already taken place, they were set to resume later this month and then into December. "I've been plagued by various ear issues, tinnitus, and apparent hyperacusis amongst them, and am totally unable to perform, barely able to exist in the world as we speak," frontman Andrew Falkous wrote in a statement.
"I have taken advice from ENT doctors, audiologists, and my GP and have spent more money than I've ever spent on anything before trying to fix this issue, but so far no dice," Falkous added. New dates have not been scheduled yet. See Falkous' full statement below.
hey guys – I'm afraid we're going to have to postpone – until further notice – our US shows – and give serious consideration to our Australian dates in january. following an innocuous, fun rehearsal three weeks ago – during which, as usual, i wore ear protection – i've been plagued by various ear issues, tinnitus and apparent hyperacusis amongst them, and am totally unable to perform, barely able to exist in the world as we speak (the idea of getting onto a flight is particularly fucking terrifying, and i'm not just talking about the vegetarian meal options). i have taken advice from ENT doctors, audiologists and my GP and have spent more money than i've ever spent on anything before trying to fix this issue but so far, no dice.
we want to reschedule the dates as soon as possible, of course, but for anyone who wants one refunds are available at point of purchase. it feels mad to type those words, and i hope i never have to again, but there we are. i feel particularly bad for anyone coming to the oakland date – i'm not accustomed to cancelling to any shows at all, let alone one twice. when we make it back i'll make everyone a fucking cake or something.
i am so, so sorry that this has happened, for all of you, for the people who have booked travel and made arrangements, for jack, damien, our wonderful crew, and everyone who wanted this to happen so much – for the other bands who we were delighted to be playing with, for our friends we haven't seen for so long (or in some cases haven't even met yet), for the memories we wanted to make.
the best chance we have of doing this – and doing this properly – again is for me to take the time to rest up and get as better as I can. believe me, this is not a decision which has been taken lightly – the financial fallout of this for us and me in particular is devastating, which coupled with the unlikelihood of being able to make a living doing the only thing i can do is so terrifying that i can't even think of a joke to end this pretty long sentence. costs still need to be met, unfortunately, so i may be having a bit of a merch/poster/equipment sale soon, mostly to benefit our crew, so please, if you're able, stay tuned for that. i was happy to say that we had been planning an album for next year (we had songs and a title AND EVERYTHING) but now, of course, that's on hold – though not cancelled, fuck that, we're going to do this thing, and do it right.
falco x
ps. we'll be making a decision on the Australian shows in the next week/ten days. apologies, again, for the uncertainty. back at you when possible.
pps. i can often be found somewhere lecturing some poor sap on the need for ear protection so let me do it again at the bottom of this whatever-the-fuck-this-is. WEAR EAR PROTECTION.
ppps. extra thanks to the people we work with – our wonderful crew, Merrick at ground control and Steph at Handsome among them – who've shown such kindness and understanding during this period. this love and support will not be forgotten and will be paid back, i guarantee it.
pppps. i won't be checking messages for the next few days – this has been an exhausting time (logistically/emotionally/generally as a human) and I need to stare at a ceiling for a little while. apologies. please take care. try not to smoke. always rate uber drivers 5. don't get ill. x

We have having a requirement to create a 3-Step workflow for Contract Document.
I have followed the standard workflow document and created the xpdl file.
We are facing an issue that Contract Document is still locked when all the approver approved the Contract Document and phase of the document is also not moved to next phase.

Can you try removing the new Date() on the last but one line in logMsg? Also, could you tell what the imports are in the postscript?
