Everything you need to know about locating our pipelines and other infrastructure before you start work.
Before you start work, you must check if there are any Water Corporation assets nearby – such as water, sewerage or drainage pipelines.
You can determine the approximate location of our assets by accessing free plans from Dial Before You Dig (DBYD).
You can also order e-plans to find the location or our water, wastewater and drainage pipelines through BuilderNet, our online self service system.
If you have located assets near your proposed work, you'll need detailed information on their location before you apply for our approval to work near them.
The technique for locating buried pipes by careful hand digging trial holes or using other 'soft dig' techniques, such as vacuum excavation. The use of mechanical excavation equipment is not allowed without a Clearance to Work Permit.
Potholing is the only way of determining pipeline location with certainty and is used in addition to DBYD or other locating methods.
Must be undertaken with reference to DBYD plans and other information we provide – the amount of potholing will depend on the size of you work area, density of assets in your work area and risk of potential damage associated with your work.
Where the installation of a service, whether by open excavation or trenchless methods, crosses a pipeline each crossing point must be potholed.
For trenchless excavations, the pothole must extend deep enough to visually see the boring tool just prior to going over or underneath the pipeline. Minimum clearances must be observed.
For excavations parallel to a pipeline, pothole at 5m intervals to verify location as alignments can vary.
Potholes must be backfilled once the work has been completed – clean bedding material should be used for the first 300mm above the exposed asset.
The location of all potholed assets is to be surveyed by a qualified surveyor.
Survey coordinates are to be MGA94 standard.
Survey levels are to be to the Australian Height Datum (AHD).
You should also survey any surface indicators (see below).
Electronic detection technology may be used in combination with potholing to positively verify assets. Metallic and reinforced concrete assets which contain steel, may be detected with electronic detection technology, however non-metallic assets cannot be detected by this method. Pipe material may also change over distance, sometimes changing from metallic to non-metallic material and back again.
A physical inspection of the site where the works are proposed will allow you to assess the working environment and identify any surface indicators of underground assets.
You can engage independent location services to undertake potholing and electronic detection work for you. You can find location services in the Yellow Pages, listed under Underground Service Locators.
More information about locating our pipelines can be found in Section 4 of our guidelines.
To locate assets onsite we will usually need 5 days notice to schedule a site visit (please note that charges apply for this service).
For more information or to arrange a site visit, please call us on 13 13 75.

Kiel, 2018-03-19: The anticipation is building. From 20 - 23 March 2018, DESIGNA will be represented at Intertraffic 2018 in Amsterdam (stand 03.302), one of the world's biggest traffic and transport industry trade fairs. Taking "Integrated Intelligence" as their theme, DESIGNA and its partner, ilogs, will be demonstrating the opportunities that the seamless interaction between innovative software features and the latest hardware offer for every industry.
Visitors can look forward to several firsts. For example the new sector-specific software offerings, CAPS, that will take parking management into a new dimension, three new pay stations, and the 10th anniversary of the successful DESIGNA cloud service, ASP.
As unique as every company: CAPS made by DESIGNA are the new customised software solutions for parking management. Tailored specifically to each sector, CAPS meet a wide variety of demands. They also extend both the service offer-ing and workflow of car park operators easily at the click of a mouse.
A very special first: the introduction of three new pay stations.
That technical specifications and superior design go very much hand in hand is demonstrated by the three new DESIGNA pay stations - Pay Cash & Card, PAY Cashless and PAY Coinless. The special feature of the new pay stations is that they are specifically designed to cover the demand for different payment meth-ods. Different operating heights are also no problem, for example if a disability-friendly pay station is required.
An impressive anniversary - 10 years of the ASP Cloud Service.
There is hardly another service from 2008 to the present day that has elicited such a positive response on such a sustained basis from car park operators as the DESIGNA ASP cloud service. No wonder, since it offers the convenient outsourcing of the entire IT system, a specially shielded server park, the lightning quick addition of, for example, parking services or the installation of the latest security updates. Currently around 45 million parking transactions take place every year via DESIGNA's ASP cloud service.


Healthcare associated infections (HAIs), caused by pathogens such as MRSA, multi-drug-resistant coliforms, norovirus, and Clostridium difficile, are a substantial problem in developed and developing countries around the world  and within the NHS. In April 2014, the WHO produced a global map  of antimicrobial resistance, warning that a 'post-antibiotic' world could soon become a reality and in May 2014 there was a warning that 'without an international commitment to tackle the issue, the world faces a future in which simple infections that have been treatable for decades become deadly diseases' . In addition to the distress caused to patients who acquire a hospital pathogen, the cost of HAIs for acute services in NHS Scotland was estimated in the last national prevalence survey at £183 million . Educational interventions are a key component in the battle against HAIs, specifically areas such as: the transmission of infection; hand hygiene; use of personal protective equipment; and maintenance of a clean environment and clean equipment . However, a particular challenge underlying attempts to explain and instruct in these areas is that the pathogens responsible for HAIs are invisible to the naked eye.

Father Thomas Ewing Sherman
Abraham Lincoln said that "A House divided against itself cannot stand". Thomas Ewing Sherman was born into a House divided by religion on October 12, 1856. He was the son of William Tecumseh Sherman, at the time an obscure former officer, and Ellen Ewing Sherman. Ellen Sherman was a devout Catholic, and, I think, a saint. She constantly did good works and was a champion of the Church her entire life. Among her many activities was the foundation of the Catholic Indian Missionary Association, and a prominent role in the Golden Jubilee celebrations in the US of the reign of Pio Nono in 1877 for which she received the personal thanks of the Pope.
William Tecumseh Sherman attended mass with his family when he was at home prior to the Civil War, but ceased doing so during the war. He and Ellen had been raised together, Ellen's father, Thomas Ewing, a Senator from Ohio, taking the orphan "Cump" Sherman into his home after the death of Sherman's father, an Ohio Supreme Court justice, in 1829. The Ewings were devout Catholics, although Thomas would not be baptized into the Faith until just before his death after decades of attending mass, and "Cump" was baptized a Catholic while living with them. Sherman's religious views are often described as agnostic but that is an oversimplification. I think he basically believed in God, but he was skeptical of organized religion and especially the Catholic Church. However, he had no objection to Ellen raising all of their children as Catholics, but over the years the religious tension between Sherman and his wife grew.
The Shermans had eight children. Thomas Sherman was probably his father's favorite, being his eldest surviving son and blessed with a good mind. He attended Georgetown and graduated with a BA in 1874. He received a law degree from Washington University in 1878. His father assumed that Thomas would go far in this world and he was shocked when his son announced that he was going to become a Jesuit.
In a letter dated April 21, 1885 to Mrs. Mary Audenreid, the widow of his former chief of staff, and perhaps his mistress, he made his opposition to his son's decision clear: "With Catholics the church is Greater than God himself and they will abandon Father & Mother if the Church Commands. I have read your letter carefully and now write to repeat my advice of this morning that you allow Florence [her 18-year-old daughter] rope. Let her play her own game.Tell her to take her own way and you choose yours. If she becomes a nun she can do no harm and is dead to the world. Natures God intended all women to be mothers but if all breed too fast, wars, pestilence and famine come to destroy the surplus. I confess that I feared Florence would err on the other side, but if she has been indoctrinated let her go her course – you keep up your house ready & willing to afford her at all times a safe refuge. I remember well my feelings when Tom [29-year-old son, Thomas Ewing Sherman, his eldest living son] left me, his sisters & all for the Church and my judgment remains the same that it was an awful crime against nature for I had a right to depend on him in my old age to look after those dependent on me. I hope Cump [18-year-old son, Philemon Tecumseh Sherman, his youngest child] will take his place but even in that I have not absolute confidence "
Nothing daunted by his father's opposition Thomas went forward with his plans to become a priest. He explained his decision with these words: "People in love do strange things. Having a vocation is like being in love only more so, as there is no love so absorbing, so deep and so lasting as that of the creature for the Creator."
He did his novitiate in London, England and Frederick, Maryland. He was ordained a priest in 1889. His mother died the year before and it is to be regretted that she did not live to see her eldest son become a priest in the Jesuit order. His father died on February 14, 1891 in New York. He was surrounded by his children who made certain he received the Last Rites of the Church. Thomas said his funeral mass.
Father Thomas Sherman was a much sought after speaker among the Jesuits, emphasizing love of God and love of country, and ardently opposing socialism, anarchism and anti-Catholicism. He was quite popular with Civil War veterans' groups, and became very much a national figure. He taught at Jesuit colleges in Saint Louis and Detroit. During the Spanish American war he served as a chaplain in the Puerto Rican campaign. He fell in love with the land and the people and often spoke about his desire to be a missionary priest there, but such was not to be.
Father Sherman would be called a workaholic today, and after a little over two decades of strenuous activity in the priesthood, he suffered a nervous collapse in 1911. He became convinced in his disturbed state of mind that he had no hope for eternal salvation. He left the Jesuits, eventually living with his wealthy niece Eleanor Sherman Fitch shortly before his death in 1933. Just before his death he renewed his Jesuit vows.
He is buried in the Jesuit cemetery at Grand Coteau Louisiana, next to Father John Salter,SJ, grandnephew of Alexander Stephens, Vice-President of the Confederacy.

Ah a interesting Man. For those that want to visit his grave if you happen to be on I-49 or near Lafayette Grand Couteau ( a beautiful historic liite Town with a ton of Great Catholic history) is just off the Intersate. You can get to his grave in minutes

I wonder if his nervous breakdown was partially genetic, given his father's problems.
Another great piece, Donald.
Thank you Dale. The same thought occurred to me, with both father and son touched with brilliance and madness.
Jay Anderson says:
"Ellen Sherman was a devout Catholic, and, I think, a saint."
Too bad her husband was a war criminal.
"William Tecumseh Sherman attended mass with his family when he was at home prior to the Civil War, but ceased doing so during the war."
Too bad. Maybe if he had kept it up he wouldn't have been a war criminal.
That's not just Southern sour grapes. I am a great admirer of men like Joshua Chamberlain and George Thomas (my favorite Union general). I'll even give Grant his due, mostly for his magnanimity at Appomattox. Sherman and Sheridan? Not so much.
Wednesday, September 15, 2010 \PM\.\Wed\. at 8:30pm
No he wasn't a war criminal Jay. As for Grant's magnamity at Appomattox, Sherman was so magnanimous when Joe Johnston surrendered his army in North Carolina that Johnston became his life long friend and would not tolerate a word being said against Sherman in his presense.
At Sherman's funeral in 1891 Johnston stood bareheaded as one of Sherman's pallbearers in the raw New York February weather. When it was suggested to him that he put on his hat due to the inclement weather, Johnston declined. "If I were in his place and he standing here in mine, he would not put on his hat." Johnston caught pneumonia and died a few weeks later. Johnston's grand gesture cost him his life, something I am sure would not have caused Johnston to alter what he did one iota, if he could have foretold the outcome of the final honor he paid to his adversary and friend.
A good book on the friendship of Johnston and Sherman:

Glad his son could infinitely repair the moral evil perpetrated by his, yes, war criminal father… an excellent example that there is no such thing as "fate" or genetic determinism, and every soul is free to choose the good and the right.
The needless reduction by bombing of Atlanta (a grim foreshadowing of the deliberate destruction of civilian targets in WWII, e.g., Dresden, London, Hiroshima, Nagasaki); the crimes condoned by his command during the March to the Sea; the abduction and deportation of 400 women for the "crime" of weaving tents at a Georgia cotton mill, etc. etc.
Sorry, but Sherman was certainly the father of the modern and immoral concept of total war which denied the distinction between combatant and non-combatant which had carefully developed over the centuries as part of the Christian just war doctrine.
Thursday, September 16, 2010 \AM\.\Thu\. at 10:06am
Rubbish Tom, from start to finish. I will merely restate what I have written on my other blog Almost Chosen People:
"People who make that accusation TC usually have a shocking lack of knowledge of military history. Nothing that Sherman and his army did on the March to the Sea was unusual for a military campaign before his time, except that mass killing of civilians was not involved.
Here is Sherman's Special Field Order 120:
"Headquarters Military Division of the Mississippi, In the Field, Kingston, Georgia, November 9, 1864
I. For the purpose of military operations, this army is divided into two wings viz.: The right wing, Major-General O. O. Howard commanding, composed of the Fifteenth and Seventeenth Corps; the left wing, Major-General H. W. Slocum commanding, composed of the Fourteenth and Twentieth Corps.
II. The habitual order of march will be, wherever practicable, by four roads, as nearly parallel as possible, and converging at points hereafter to be indicated in orders. The cavalry, Brigadier – General Kilpatrick commanding, will receive special orders from the commander-in-chief.
III. There will be no general train of supplies, but each corps will have its ammunition-train and provision-train, distributed habitually as follows: Behind each regiment should follow one wagon and one ambulance; behind each brigade should follow a due proportion of ammunition – wagons, provision-wagons, and ambulances. In case of danger, each corps commander should change this order of march, by having his advance and rear brigades unencumbered by wheels. The separate columns will start habitually at 7 a.m., and make about fifteen miles per day, unless otherwise fixed in orders.
IV. The army will forage liberally on the country during the march. To this end, each brigade commander will organize a good and sufficient foraging party, under the command of one or more discreet officers, who will gather, near the route traveled, corn or forage of any kind, meat of any kind, vegetables, corn-meal, or whatever is needed by the command, aiming at all times to keep in the wagons at least ten day's provisions for the command and three days' forage. Soldiers must not enter the dwellings of the inhabitants, or commit any trespass, but during a halt or a camp they may be permitted to gather turnips, potatoes, and other vegetables, and to drive in stock of their camp. To regular foraging parties must be instructed the gathering of provisions and forage at any distance from the road traveled.
V. To army corps commanders alone is intrusted the power to destroy mills, houses, cotton-gins, &c., and for them this general principle is laid down: In districts and neighborhoods where the army is unmolested no destruction of such property should be permitted; but should guerrillas or bushwhackers molest our march, or should the inhabitants burn bridges, obstruct roads, or otherwise manifest local hostility, then army commanders should order and enforce a devastation more or less relentless according to the measure of such hostility.
VI. As for horses, mules, wagons, &c., belonging to the inhabitants, the cavalry and artillery may appropriate freely and without limit, discriminating, however, between the rich, who are usually hostile, and the poor or industrious, usually neutral or friendly. Foraging parties may also take mules or horses to replace the jaded animals of their trains, or to serve as pack-mules for the regiments or bridges. In all foraging, of whatever kind, the parties engaged will refrain from abusive or threatening language, and may, where the officer in command thinks proper, give written certificates of the facts, but no receipts, and they will endeavor to leave with each family a reasonable portion for their maintenance.
VII. Negroes who are able-bodied and can be of service to the several columns may be taken along, but each army commander will bear in mind that the question of supplies is a very important one and that his first duty is to see to them who bear arms.
– William T. Sherman, Military Division of the Mississippi Special Field Order 120, November 9, 1864″
Southerners, understandably from their point of view, have viewed Sherman as the Devil Incarnate for generations. However, there was nothing unusual in regard to his orders in general military history, or in American military history. Considering this as a precursor of the Total War of the 20th century is attributable to the fact that in our time people tend to substitute hyperbole and passion for knowledge of what is under discussion."
http://almostchosenpeople.wordpress.com/2010/09/12/marching-through-georgia/
A good article on the myth of Sherman as some pre-cursor of Total War is linked below:

Thursday, September 16, 2010 \PM\.\Thu\. at 12:42pm
As with all discussions of Sherman and Sheridan, I recommend a review of the Lieber Code.
http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lieber.asp
Francis Lieber's work was a codification of the laws of war as they existed at the time, and involved few, if any, innovations. The destruction of an armed enemy's civilian property was clearly contemplated an an accepted part of warfare at that time. It would be limited and finally banned over the next few decades, just as slavery was written out of legitimacy.
I don't endorse or trumpet the morality of certain actions of some of the Union forces during the war, but "rubbish" is a lot nicer term than I'd use for analogizing the March to the Sea to Hiroshima or Dresden. Equating the incineration of property to the incineration of human beings trivializes the latter.
Well, under the Catholic just war doctrine, most recently embodied in the Catholic Catechism, what Sherman did was a violation of just war principles, or precisely, jus in bello.
"Actions which are forbidden, and which constitute morally unlawful orders that may not be followed, include:
– attacks against, and mistreatment of, non-combatants, wounded soldiers, and prisoners…
– indiscriminate destruction of whole cities or vast areas with their inhabitants."
The destruction of Atlanta alone violated these principles, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure, such as cotton mills, and the forcible seizure and deportation of their civilian employees, certainly violates these principles.
That this practice may appear mild vs. subsequent war crimes in the 20th century, or that these offenses were supposedly common practice, is irrelevant.
Thank you Dale. Tomorrow on Almost Chosen People I am doing a post on Washington's Instructions to Sullivan prior to the campaign against the Iroquois in 1779. Some historians doubt that Washington acquired his Iroquois nickname of Town Burner as a result of that campaign, but certainly it was an appropriate nickname from the Irquois point of view following that campaign.
Rubbish Tom. You as a prosecutor should know better. What Sherman did was accepted military practice of his time. That is the only standard applicable when throwing out a term like "war criminal".
Thursday, September 16, 2010 \PM\.\Thu\. at 1:08pm
Oh, and the destruction of Atlanta is what presages Dresden, not the subsequent march to the sea. "I peremptorily required that all the citizens and families resident in Atlanta should go away, giving to each the option to go south or north, as their interests or feelings dictated. I was resolved to make Atlanta a pure military garrison or depot, with no civil population to influence military measures."
Then on Nov. 15, 1864 Sherman simply burned the town to the ground, destroying home, factories, churches, and shops.
Why? He didn't want a hostile civilian population in his rear as he began his notorious March to the Sea.
Sorry, but deliberate destruction of private homes and businesses, and forcible depopulation and deportation of entire civilian populations is just flat out immoral and criminal, and can in no way be justified by reference to any Christian principles of just warfare.
My point of reference is not what was acceptable practice at the time (while not conceding that the Federal practice of deliberate destruction of civilian property and deportations was accepted practice), but whether what was done is justifiable by any recognized Christian principle of just war.
Wrong Tom. Sherman gave his reasons for evacuating the civilian population of Atanta: "My real reasons for this step were, we want all the houses of Atlanta for military storage and occupation. We want to contract the lines of defenses so as to diminish the garrison to the limit necessary to defend its narrow and vital parts instead of embracing, as the lines now do, the vast suburbs. This contraction of the lines, with the necessary citadels and redoubts, will make it necessary to destroy the very houses used by families as residences. Atlanta is a fortified town, was stubbornly defended and fairly captured. As captors we have a right to it. The residence here of a poor population would compel us sooner or later to feed them or see them starve under our eyes. The residence here of the families of our enemies would be a temptation and a means to keep up a correspondence dangerous and hurtful to our cause, and a civil population calls for provost guards, and absorbs the attention of officers in listening to everlasting complaints and special grievances that are not military." Sherman provided food and transportation to civilians who went to Tennessee, Kentucky and points North under Union control. Civilians who wanted to go South he provided transportation up to Hood's army.
The acrimonious correspondence between Sherman and Hood over this may be read here.
http://almostchosenpeople.wordpress.com/2010/09/13/sherman-hood-correspondence/
Sherman evacuated the civilian population of Atlanta prior to deciding upon the March. When he decided upon the March in November, there were almost no civilians in Atlanta except civilian looters. Sherman burned Atlanta so that Hood's Army could not use it as a fortified base. Sherman ordered that no Churches, hospitals or private houses were to be burned, although some private homes were burned by civilian looters. About 37% of the town was burned. After Hood launched his ill-fated invasion of Tennessee, civilians began returning to Atlanta, and by the end of the War the civilian population was up to pre-Atlanta campaign levels.
Sherman's decisions were completely legitimate actions of war, as any familiarity with military history would indicate.

Ok, I have not studied this indepth but I am interested in this because I am a Southerner and I was a cadet at West Point, and I am a Catholic convert. I think Sherman was pretty miserable about what he believed his duty required of him as a soldier and commander in the Civil War, and I think that might have been what stood between him and a more public expression of faith in God. I think he was a good man at heart, a principled man, but a man to whom a tragic duty fell and when it did he saw very clearly the brutal path necessary for a successful end and outcome to the war. I also believe he was pretty disgusted by the whole thing, by the war, by his own actions- but would see it to the finish because it was his duty- and he was a man of tenacity. Who knows but maybe that up close misery made anything idealistic about God's goodness, mercy, and love hard to swallow.You know there is never a civil war that does not devastate all participants so it's not like anyone who lived through that could walk away feeling good about any of it. I think Sherman found his own peace in life, but the chasm in his understanding gouged out by his experience might have made his family's faith life foreign to him- and who knows how much his 'saintly' wife was able or willing to help him with that? And then later when his son cracks- is it possible that his sorrow was the same kind- maybe he could not find a path of reconciliation between something in himself and the idealism inherent in our understanding of our faith or in its expression- until the time when God's grace reached him in a critical place/plane. I am guessing, but it's possible. In any case these men were heroic in so many ways, both of them.


Fregat, a secondary lead smelter, located in Voskresensk Russia was acquired by Mineco in 2011. The smelter has capacity to process 170,000 tonnes of used lead-acid batteries per year and employs 188 people. Click here to view the Fregat Smelter's website.
The Fregat smelter is one of the most modern secondary lead smelters in the Russian Federation. Using the latest technology, supplied by Engitec Technologies of Italy, the plant exceeds both Russian and European Union environmental protection requirements.
On arrival at the smelter used batteries are broken up and the components separated into the different process streams (plastics and metals). The sulphur content of the battery's lead paste is removed after which the clean lead is smelted, refined and cast to produce a final 99.985% lead ingot product. The smelter quality control system is certified to ISO 9001:2000 and the lead brand FRGT PB985R is registered with the London Metal Exchange for sale of the final product.
The underpinning principle of the Fregat operation is that it uses the most advanced of equipment and processes to minimise any potential harm to the local environment. The lead and plastic from every used battery is recycled and re-introduced to the commodity cycle. With anticipated tightening of the Russian Federation's environmental laws it is anticipated that modern, clean operations like Fregat will be rewarded with a significant competitive edge in the years to come.

Status of Women In India: History and Development In Recent Times
by Vanso Santalo
Women in early times were way too inferior to men. They were not allowed to question anything being said to them. Women were treated as the property of their husbands. This was their mere value in the eyes of the society, and many had actually accepted it. Women who raised their voices against this were suppressed, and their voices were left unheard.
In earlier days, women were not even allowed to get a proper education to stand somewhere in society. Instead, they were made to learn household chores. People in ancient history believed that the sole purpose of the existence of women is to look after their home and husband and raise children. It was considered the duty of a woman to look after her husband's needs, be it physical or mental.
Women in ancient times have faced so much discrimination. Many atrocious crimes were committed against women like a witch hunt, rapes, domestic violence, genital mutilation, female infanticide, and the list goes on. Women who were found or held guilty for practicing witchcraft were beaten to death. The cruelty against women has been a part of society and slowly became a culture.
Men have always been told that they have always belonged to that part of the society that is superior to that of women. They are made to believe and act as if nothing and no one is better than them. Not only in India but in other countries also the situation is the same.
Comparison of Rural and Urban Areas
In recent times, women in rural areas are still underprivileged. Their rights are being violated by men and society every day. People in rural areas still treat women not less than their own property. Even today, in many rural areas, women are not allowed to step out of their houses, and the basic right to education is taken away by the young girls.
As per the reports, it can be clearly seen that women become the victims of man's anger. Any woman who dares to go against her husband's will ends up as a victim of domestic violence. However, that is one side of the coin. On the other side, many women from the rural areas of Punjab and Haryana are coming forward and have excelled in different fields. Such women are appreciated and celebrated. It shows that a change is coming, though slowly, but it is.
Whereas, in urban areas, the struggle is actually very real. However, women have excelled in many fields and are supported by their families. But, the real struggle starts when they head out to work and are differentiated on the basis of gender. They are not given equal opportunities as men at the workplace. Equal remunerations are not given to both men and women. There is still a superiority complex in men at the workplace and even at homes.
If a woman earns more than her husband, then that where the problem starts to arise, and manly ego gets hurt. It is the society that is at fault in large because we as a society have normalized all such things and made men believe that they are meant to be superior.
It can be very well seen that there is a huge difference between the earlier times society and recent times society. However, there are still similarities to an extent the change has been seen. The government has intervened as many new reforms and laws have been introduced for the protection of women and their rights. Though the women are coming forward and working in different fields, still the change needs to be made. The government needs to make sure that the rights of the women are not violated by the State or any person in any way. Equality has to be made in society and in the work place as well.
Though the fight is still going on, there is a long way to go, and it can be achieved only if we as a society learn to motivate and appreciate women. We can bring the change we want to see.

Working against the clock
How can employees and workers reduce the safety risks of shift work?
By Ashley Johnson, associate editor
Studies link shift work to sleep disorders, gastrointestinal problems and cancer.
Police officers often work overtime and nights. The resulting fatigue can affect their decision-making, potentially threatening their own safety and the safety of the people they serve.
Strategies to help workers include training, ingesting caffeine and taking short naps.
Industries such as emergency services, health care, hospitality, manufacturing, telecommunications and transportation rely on 24/7 coverage to boost production and better serve communities and customers. But nontraditional work hours can be hard on employees who face the challenge of trying to remain awake when their bodies would rather be asleep.
"The fundamental flaw is that biologically we are hard-wired to be day creatures, not to be operating around the clock on long, irregular work hours with lots of overtime, with rotating shift patterns, with even what we call steady or fixed [night] shifts," said Bill Sirios, chief operating officer and senior vice president of Circadian Technologies Inc., a Stoneham, MA-based shift work research and consulting firm.
Sirios, a former shift worker, compared the feeling of shift work to jet lag. Both disrupt the body's circadian rhythms (internal body clocks), which regulate sleep and activity. Continually disrupting those clocks can have severe consequences, he said. Shift work has been linked to a variety of health problems, and fatigue puts workers at risk for accidents on the job and on the road.
Employers also may pay a price for shift work. Sirios cited Circadian Technologies research that shows shift workers cost an organization $10,000 more each year (adjusted for inflation) than day workers in terms of employee turnover, productivity loss due to human error, absenteeism, health care and workers' compensation.
Researchers have yet to find a clear-cut answer to the potential negative effects of shift work, but strategies exist to help the country's estimated 15 million shift workers receive adequate rest and remain alert at work.
Fatigue sets in
Experts often say adults need seven to eight hours of sleep each night. Night workers, who have to catch that rest during the day, typically get less. A poll conducted in 2007 by the Washington-based National Sleep Foundation found about one-third of workers who begin their job after 6 p.m. but before 6 a.m. sleep less than six hours on workdays. Many of these workers have trouble sleeping in the daytime because their circadian rhythms prompt them to be awake. Day sleep also tends to be lighter than night sleep.
When people miss out on sleep, they rack up a sleep debt. "It's not only about the sleep you got last night, but it's about the sleep that you received over the past week or even over the past month," said Christopher Drake, secretary of the NSF board of directors and bioscientific staff investigator at the Henry Ford Hospital Sleep Disorders Clinic and Research Center in Detroit.
"The important idea here is that sleep debt accumulates across nights," he continued. "And can you pay it back? To some extent." However, experts are not certain if a person can fully eliminate all of the physiological consequences of years of sleep debt.
Lack of sleep can hinder a person's ability to make decisions and complete tasks. Research demonstrates going 17 to 19 hours without sleep impairs function as much as or worse than having a blood-alcohol content of 0.05 percent. In the NSF survey, 21 percent of responding shift workers said daytime sleepiness interfered with their daily activities, and 19 percent reported injuring themselves or having an accident on the job in the past year. Almost half indicated they drove drowsy at least once a month.
"The fatigue that occurs during the night shift is not only occurring because these individuals are sleep deprived, but it also occurs because there is a lack of a circadian signal for wakefulness in the middle of the night," Drake said.
He noted most night workers revert to being day people on their days off, which counteracts their body's ability to adapt to the work schedule.
Health consequences
Shift work has been associated with adverse health effects ranging from sleep and gastrointestinal disorders to cancer. People who frequently rotate shifts or work nights are at risk for shift work sleep disorder, a condition characterized by insomnia or excessive sleepiness.
With limited food options available in the middle of the night, shift workers may develop unhealthy eating habits. They also may eat at a time when their body is not prepared to properly digest and metabolize food, which can lead to ulcers, Drake said. A study of nurses conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor concluded shift work can disrupt the colon's biological clock, leading to diarrhea, bloating, constipation and abdominal pain.
Extra weight gain, along with high blood pressure and insulin resistance, is part of a cluster of conditions called metabolic syndrome that increase the risk for developing cardiovascular disease. A University at Buffalo study published last year found 30 percent of police officers on the night shift had metabolic syndrome, compared with 21 percent of the general population.
Cancer is another concern. In 2007, a workgroup of the France-based International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded, "Shift work that involves circadian disruption is probably carcinogenic to humans." That theory is supported by studies documenting a higher risk for cancer among U.S. nurses who worked rotating shifts for several years.
In addition to physical problems, shift workers may suffer emotionally. Their schedule may cause them to miss social events, and they may lack the time or energy to engage with family members after work.
Research on police officers underscores the larger implications of shift work. It is not uncommon for officers to work more than 18 hours in a row, and approximately 40 percent of them suffer from sleep disorders, said Bryan Vila, director of the Simulated Hazardous Operational Tasks Lab at the Sleep and Performance Research Center at Washington State University Spokane.
Vila spent 17 years in law enforcement and now is a professor of criminal justice. In his opinion, sleep deprivation among officers is important not only from a health standpoint but also in terms of public safety. Although measures exist to deter officers from abusing their discretionary powers, fatigue can compromise their abilities to weigh the consequences of their actions and manage the emotions that come with human confrontation, according to Vila's research.
Departments must balance providing enough community support with the best schedules to protect officers. "You have to give people enough time so that they can have a good chance of getting home, getting to bed and getting enough sleep to restore themselves before they get back on the job," Vila said.
A larger cultural shift also might be in order. Sirios described one problem across industries: society rewards overworking. "When that shift worker pulls a double or an extra shift or comes in on his day off or goes that extra yard, we applaud that," Sirios said. "The reality is, we're setting people up to fail by condoning that practice."
He stressed the importance of training for workers and their families on topics such as biology, nutrition, stress management, and balancing work and family life.
Measuring and managing fatigue
Optimizing shift scheduling is one way employers can reduce risks to their workers. The Department of Transportation already limits when and how long commercial motor vehicle drivers may drive, and the Washington-based American Petroleum Institute and the American National Standards Institute have developed guidelines to prevent fatigue among petrochemical workers.
Research from WSU Spokane indicates regulations limiting the number of hours worked also should address shift start times. The study, presented in June at the 24th annual meeting of the Westchester, IL-based Associated Professional Sleep Societies LLC, found shifts beginning between 8 p.m. and midnight yielded poorer performance and less-than-adequate sleep among workers. But predicted fatigue was lower for shifts starting after midnight than shifts starting just before midnight, which researchers said suggests night shifts that begin after midnight might allow workers to sleep more than those that start between 8 p.m. and midnight.
Some researchers advocate a so-called "slow rotation," in which a person stays on the same shift for two weeks or more instead of weekly rotations, such as one week of days and one week of nights, according to Claire Caruso, research health scientist at NIOSH. She said a backward schedule of going from the evening shift to the day shift is harder on a worker because there is less time between shifts and it requires an earlier awake time, which conflicts with circadian rhythms.
At work, a 30-minute nap can improve alertness. Caruso recommended employers use this strategy: Set aside a quiet room and ensure adequate staffing coverage and supervisor support. Rest and lunch breaks are especially important for workers on 12-hour shifts, she added.
Drinking coffee may be an effective way to stay awake on the job. Researchers in London recently concluded that caffeine reduces mistakes among shift workers, although Drake cautioned that regular coffee drinkers can develop a tolerance to caffeine. Instead of drinking a large cup of coffee before work, he recommends small doses every few hours during a shift.
Drake believes employers have a responsibility to identify employees who are excessively sleepy. "There needs to be more open-mindedness on the part of employers to intervene and to go the extra mile, to do more than just recognition but also to bring in experts to help truly address these problems in a systematic way through diagnosis and treatment," he said.

West Ham boss Pellegrini insists they 'never talk about the future'
Date published: Thursday 28th November 2019 3:15
Manuel Pellegrini insists he has had no conversations with West Ham's owners about his future at the club.
The pressure is mounting on Pellegrini after a seven-match winless streak saw them slip towards the relegation zone.
With a trip to Chelsea followed by fixtures against Wolves and Arsenal, it is a situation that could get a lot worse before it gets better.
However, Pellegrini has shrugged off speculation about his position, saying: "We never talk about the future.
"You must be clear, it is game by game. It is the same question asked when we were winning. Football changes every game so we are working to beat Chelsea and improve. I always think about the present, never the future."
Back-up goalkeeper Roberto has taken much of the flak for West Ham's poor run and was badly at fault again during Saturday's 3-2 home defeat by Tottenham.
Regular keeper Lukasz Fabianski is still injured, and likely to be sidelined for another month, but Pellegrini gave no guarantee that he will keep faith with Roberto.
Should he axe the 33-year-old Spaniard then third-choice keeper David Martin, signed on a free transfer from Millwall in the summer, will be pressed into action at Stamford Bridge.
"Of course I am concerned, but it is not just about the goalkeeper," added Pellegrini.
"Every time you decide your starting XI you have the complete week to work with them, and the technical staff, about positives and negative things.
"We will see. Our best starting XI, in all the positions, will start the next game.
"Of course it's not a comfortable position (for Roberto). He knows exactly about his performance, he has a career behind him, he has been a very good player in big teams so of course he cannot be happy in the moment, but it is what has happened and he must try to improve."
Jack Wilshere and Manuel Lanzini are still out injured for the trip to west London.

Australian consumers set to pay more due to port bottlenecks
Brittany Coles September 25, 2020, 12:04 am September 25, 2020
Australians can expect to pay more for imported goods this Christmas as shipping container backlogs cause delays at major ports, resulting in many empty shipping containers not being returned to Asia.
Exports of goods from Australia have reduced due to COVID-19 restrictions and not enough containers are heading offshore. Empty containers usually used for two-way trade are lying idle at Empty Container Parks (ECP).
This bottleneck is impacting the import of goods at a time when Australians, particularly Victorians, are buying more in lockdown.
One of the world's largest third-party logistics providers C.H. Robinson has seen first-hand a shift in importing trends during the pandemic. Andrew Coldrey, Vice President Oceania, said that as Australians spend more time at home, there has been a greater need for household items such as vacuums, chainsaws and bulk grocery products.
"At the same time, there has been a decrease in Australian exports due to COVID-19 staff restrictions, which combined with the congestion at our ports, have caused chaos for transport operators, with costs set to trickle down the supply chain to Australian consumers," Andrew said.
Importing from Asia is currently at risk due to the inability to export full and empty containers back to Asia. Research from NSW Ports has shown an imbalance of 30,000 Twenty-Foot equivalent units (TEU's) between full and empty imports and full and empty exports between April-June 2020.
Severe congestion at the Port of Botany can be attributed to weather disruptions, industrial disputes and overcrowding at overwhelmed ECP's, reducing operational efficiency, placing a heavy strain on the port and causing ships to redirect to the Port of Melbourne.
These issues have placed greater pressure on Melbourne's already struggling ECPs, culminating in further strain on trucking and additional supply chain costs.
"This issue has been slowly mounting and has reached a stage where Australian consumers are most likely going to suffer at the checkout," Andrew said.
"At the beginning of the year, planning by freight forwarders couldn't have accounted for the differing consequences of a world pandemic. Our current import allocations are committed, and we are seeking more, but spare shipping allocation is now being sold at a premium, adding additional costs throughout the supply chain,
"With the busiest quarter almost upon us, we must address the bottlenecks at key Australian ports," Mr Coldrey said.

RE: link for posting about problems. I'll read this asap, and try to find a link with specific won't play messages, but it happens across the board. Are Java and Norton related to Opera/seeing videos, b/c I did not renew Norton(too much money) and I may have removed java. Sorry, I don't know the technical indepth info about this stuff. All I know is, when I was using Explorer, I wasn't having as much problem. I have an HP mini(hand-me-down). Thanks.
Java has no relation to videos and isn't supported since version 34. Norton and any other antivirus/security suite may block access to pages/elements/etc so it may be a good idea to test with it disabled.
Flash based videos, html5 videos or both?
What happens when you try to watch a video?
Hello. I started this question. Today I re-loaded Adobe flash player and even though the installer acknowledged my Opera browser, it loaded to Explorer, and when I switch over to explorer, the flash player works fine. How do I get it to load on Opera?
How do I get it to load on Opera?
Did you install Flash for Opera? Is Opera your default browser?

The GTX GPUs that support the new Ray-Tracing technology update are GeForce GTX 1660ti, GTX 1660, Titan XP (2017), Titan X (2016), GTX 1080ti, GTX 1080, GTX 1070ti, GTX 1070, GTX 1060 6GB and the laptops that are equipped with equivalent Pascal and Turing-architecture GPUs. To make it simple, the workload on processing the ray tracing increases with the number of rays involved.
Battlefield V, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Metro Exodus now support real-time ray tracing. For the simple - if not obvious - fact that none of the GeForce GTX series cards has the necessary RT Cores that are present on the RTX cards. All of the tuning for DXR support has presumably been done exclusively on Nvidia GPUs, so how AMD cards would perform in these workloads or with these features enabled is still unknown. With basic reflections on Battlefield V, on the other hand, you'll see 30 fps on the 1080 Ti compared to 68.3 on the 2080 Ti. This matched the RTX 2060 without DLSS but I think the resolution and settings are something you should consider when running RTX titles on non-RTX cards. Star Wars Reflections is a good demo of ambient occlusion, but the company says it also uses a lot of advanced reflections, which makes it more demanding on non-RTX cards. Unhelpfully, all of Nvidia's graphs are for 2560×1440 performance on High or Ultra settings - something they themselves previously warned simply wouldn't be possible on a GTX card when they first announced this actually happening.
The video also breaks down how the graphics card renders images in-game, and Tony Tamasi, VP of technical marketing at Nvidia uses "Metro Exodus" as an example. Here, at 1440p resolution, the GTX 1080 Ti hit a more impressive 50.6 fps, with the GTX 1660 Ti on 36.8fps, naturally considerably behind the RTX cards like the vanilla 2080 which managed 72.8 fps (with DLSS).
This post originally appeared on Tom's Guide. Microsoft used their own fallback layer for a time, but for the public release it was going to be up to GPU manufacturers to provide support, including their own fallback layer. If you want ray tracing with playable frame rates though, only an RTX branded graphics card will be able to pull that off. A couple of hours ago, we informed you about the new driver that allows NVIDIA's Pascal GPUs to run real-time ray tracing effects via the DXR API. Thanks to this new driver there are now "tens of millions of DXR GPUs" in consumer PCs.
While Nvidia coaxed ray tracing into working on non-RTX GPUs with this driver, the experience won't be optimal.
NVIDIA also highlighted that there are 4 different types of workloads for ray-tracing - ambient occlusion, shadows, reflections, and global illumination.

New €15m 'business restart' grant scheme for the live performance sector
by Mark Lawlor | Mar 11, 2022 | Arts and Culture, Funding | 0 comments
Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin TD has announced a new restart grant scheme for venues, producers and promoters that stage events in the arts and culture live performance sector.
In total, €15m will be made available under the new Live Performance Restart Grant Scheme (LPRGS).
€15m for businesses operating in the arts and culture live performance sector
Grants of up to €100,000 will be provided for eligible businesses to underpin the sector's recovery in 2022
This funding follows last year's successful €25m Live Performance Support Scheme – this provided 53,000 days of
employment for artists, performers and crew.
Minister Martin said:
I have seen how important the 2021 Live Performance Support Scheme was in providing employment opportunities for businesses to engage the services of artists, musicians, technicians, producers, and other professional practitioners.
Now that Covid restrictions are behind us, I want to support operators in the sector to get back to what they do best.
The scheme aims to help the recovery of the live performance sector by providing business restart grants to companies/venues/producers and promoters in the arts and culture live performance sector.
Grants of up to €100,000 will be provided.
The scheme will open for applications via an online portal on Tuesday March 22nd 2022 at 1pm.
Minister Martin added:
I know how difficult the past two years has been for those operating in the live performance sector. Since the lifting of restrictions on January 22nd it has been wonderful to see so many gigs, theatre events and other live performances going
I know that challenges remain, and this new business restart grant is designed to help the sector to recover fully, and get back to full capacity as soon as possible

Minimum Required Credits: 49.0
Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code: 01.8102
Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code: 19-1011
The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Professional Studies offers the Master of Laboratory Animal Science (MLAS) degree. The MLAS program is designed for individuals who have a bachelor's degree in animal science or a related field and who are seeking advanced career positions in laboratory animal science and laboratory animal facility management. Alternatively, the MLAS degree is also a powerful means to enhance students' credentials for admission to veterinary medical school.
The MLAS program is a full-time, two-year program that begins in August of each year. The first two years of the program consists primarily of classroom instruction, while the last semester is reserved for experiential learning. The program is flexible for traditional and non-traditional students alike due to the availability of evening courses.
For individuals who are currently working in the laboratory animal science field, the MLAS program is available 100% online. Students can work full-time while completing the program part-time (6 semesters). The majority of courses are completely asynchronous, thus allowing maximum flexibility for the working professional. Please review our website for specific details about the online program.
The MLAS curriculum consists of basic science courses, laboratory animal science courses, and a practicum. The basic science courses were designed to build a solid foundation required for a successful career in laboratory animal science. The laboratory animal science courses focus on all aspects of laboratory animal science, including facility management. The practicum provides the student with the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge they have learned to the field of Laboratory Animal Science. The outcome is a highly trained laboratory animal science professional with a solid foundation in the sciences.
Pre-Veterinary Graduate Minor
Students desiring to attend veterinary medical school have the option to elect to complete a pre-vet minor within the Master of Laboratory Animal Science (MLAS) program. The addition of these courses to the MLAS program will help to further enhance the student's application to veterinary medical school by providing additional rigorous and relevant graduate level coursework.
MLAS faculty and administration assist the students in identifying and securing practicum sites at universities, biotechnology organizations, and pharmaceutical companies. Practicum sites are available in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Texas. The list expands every year. In many instances, the practicum sites have offered our students a permanent position within their organization upon completion of the MLAS degree.
MLAS graduates hold positions in laboratory animal facilities of universities, biotechnology companies, government agencies, and pharmaceutical companies. There they serve as veterinarians, supervisors, managers, IACUC administrators, trainers, educators, consultants, and sales representatives.
Veterinary Medical School
Successful completion of the MLAS program can also significantly improve a student's academic credentials for application to veterinary medical school. Please review our website for a comprehensive list of veterinary medical schools that have been attended by MLAS alumni.

A Mother Of 3 Shares Fitness Tips On How To Get Back In Shape

Childhood is the best of all life's gifts and if you can carry it with you, you never grow old. One memory most of us carry is that ubiquitous yellow and red classic; the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe plastic car. They are an indispensable part of many childhood remembrances.
The authentic Little Tikes Toy Car needs no refreshing in anyone's memory. It debuted in 1991. The Cozy Coupe car was even named the bestselling car in the U.S. It saw many upgrades and changes over the years. It was overhauled and redesigned in the year 1999 to give a more enjoyable ride.
A cheerful touch was added when it was given large cartoon eyes along with a smile on its anterior bumper. But it remained the same old Cozy Coupe at heart.
But there is great news for those who wish to relive a part of their childhood. The Bitmead brothers, Geoff and John were in a similar nostalgic mood when they resolved to magnify the Cozy Coupe and make a full-blown adult version. They built the car in 2013 through their company, Attitude Autos based in Bicester, U.K.
This life-size variant of Little Tikes Cozy Coupe was an instant eye-catcher while at the same time it can also reach speeds of 70 mph. Geoff and John named it the "Big Tike".
They were inspired when they realized that the Daewoo Matiz and the Little Tikes looked strikingly similar and decided on a metamorphosis.
The car is totally road-worthy with airbags, a gas tank, headlights, mirrors, tax-discs, and even a maximum speed of 70 mph. but it has no windows in honor of the original version and no other color scheme.
It cost the brother a fortune and around 1,000 hours to build the car. While the children's version of the Cozy Coupe costs $50, the adult version set them back by around €35,000 (around $38,500) in parts and man-hours.
WANT!!!!! So badly!!! https://t.co/BmTGHJrHIA
— MetalQueenDean (@MetalQueenDean) September 7, 2019
Big Tike and Little Tikes together look like a father and kid duo. The car even garnered international attention including the coveted Guinness World Records certification, though it hasn't meant much monetary success for Geoff and John.
They have finally decided to sell it through eBay. The brothers managed to even raise funds for children's charities with the Crazy Coupe so they are certain that the car has potential in the right hands.
