Oh wow, thank you everyone so much!!


As you may know I'm a big fan of La Roche-Posay's Effaclar Duo + and until recently I'd used it every single day since I first purchased it back in early 2014. The reason I have stopped using this recently is because I've been trying out a similar product from Avene called Clearance Expert Emulsion*.
Avene Clearance Expert Emulsion is described as a unique daily treatment to help prevent and treat adult acne, but I personally think this is quite a similar product to Effaclar Duo +. I certainly use them both in the same way. Clearance Expert regulates the production of sebum (oil), mimics the skins natural exfoliation process without the use of acids, limits the spread of acne causing bacteria and helps to eliminate spots and blackheads. The main difference in terms of what the product does between this and Effaclar Duo + is the latter does make use of acids for improving skins texture and also contains something called Procerad, which rebuilds the skins surface and helps to reduce the inflamation, scaring and hyper-pigmentation that spots and breakouts can leave behind. There is also a difference in the look and feel of each product. I would consider Effaclar Duo + like a serum and would use a moisturiser over the top, whereas Clearance Expert is more like a moisturiser and I usually use a serum or facial oil underneath. Both products do contain fragrance but I can only really detect this in Clearance Expert and it only really smells like a cream/moisturiser, if you understand what I mean. At first glance Clearance Expert appears to contain alcohol, but this is Cetearyl alcohol, which is actually a fatty/waxy alcohol known to condition and soften the skin.
Please ignore the typo on the picture above (Effaclat!). It was only after I'd deleted the original image that I spotted it *head desk*.
I'm not sure if this is important but I will mention that I don't use either product all over my face. Although I do get the occasional spot on my forehead, around my nose or maybe on my cheek, it's hormonal and stress related breakouts on my chin that I regularly suffer from. So both products I use as a targeted treatment just on my chin.
Just as I started using Clearance Expert I developed a lovely cystic spot that always pops up in roughly the same place on my chin. Although it did take at least seven days for this to subside I was really pleased to see that when the actual spot cleared the lump and discolouration it left behind, which would usually take a few weeks to clear, actually disappeared very quickly. More recently I suffered a pretty bad breakout across most of my chin. I don't know why but I'd been experiencing hormone problem for two weeks before I even hit that time of the month, so I'm not surprised this really affected my skin. In the end I did have to turn to my prescription treatment but once the worst was over I returned to using this and it did a good job of helping to clear up what remained of the breakout. The marks from the larger spots haven't cleared up as quickly this time but the skin where the smaller spots were has recovered well.
I've found that if I have one or two small spots or a light breakout this does a good job of helping to treat it and prevent it getting worse. Although as I mentioned, and is also the case for me with Effaclar Duo +, if the breakout is bad enough I will have to transfer over to using my prescription treatment to bring it under control.
I really like both products and would happily consider using either. They're both almost exactly the same price at £15.50 for Effaclar Duo + and £15 for Clearance Expert, so for me personally it would probably boil down to grabbing the one that's on offer, or maybe Effaclar Duo + because that's the one I've used longest. Although I'm a fan of Effacalr Duo + I know a lot of people find that it doesn't work for them, so if you're one of those people I'd recommend giving Clearance Expert a try.
Avene Clearance Expert Emulsion is available from Escentual.
Have you ever tried either of these products?
Hmm, I'm pretty loyal to LRP and I doubt I would purchase this one from Avene for that reason - if it ain't broke, why.. buy something else? Great review lovely.

What happens to farm entitlements on the death of a farmer
Do entitlements automatically attach to the land?
It is important to note that the entitlements are not attached to the land and do not automatically transfer with land but are governed by normal testamentary procedures. Where the entitlements are not specifically mentioned in the Will of a deceased person, they form part of the residue of an estate.
There is an Inheritance Enquiry Unit in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine whose function is to advise and assist in all matters relating to the transfer of agricultural schemes and to arrange for the proper disposal of any outstanding payments.
We can assist the legal representative to liaise with the Department to prepare to transfer agricultural schemes and, if necessary, the herd-number under the relevant scheme year. However, the following notes may be of some assistance.
What happens to the deceased farmer's herd-number?
Herd-numbers normally transfer with land. If the person inheriting the land intends to carry on farming, he/she should apply to the relevant Regional Veterinary Office to have the herd-number transferred into his/her name.
An applicant for a herd-number must supply evidence of the land having been transferred from the relevant person. Any one of the following is acceptable as proof that the applicant has, or will, inherit the land.
Certified copy of Will and Probate
Deed of Transfer and Dealing Number issued by Land Registry for registration
Copy of Land Folio from the Land Registry
Note that the appointment of a herd-keeper (as distinct from herd-owner) can be arranged with the Regional Veterinary Office as soon as possible after the death of a herd-owner to safeguard the welfare of any animals on the property and to ensure that all measures relating to the Disease Eradication Scheme are implemented.
What is the Single Payment Scheme?
The Single Payment Scheme provides an annual payment to herd-owners who established entitlements based on their agricultural activity during the Reference Years of 2000-2002. Single Payment Scheme applications are submitted on a yearly basis and relate solely to the year of application. The closing date for receipt of applications for the 2014 scheme year is the 15th May 2014. 2014 will be the final year of the Single Payment Scheme and it will be replaced in 2015 by a new scheme.
Can Single Payment Entitlements be transferred and/or sold?
The Single Payment entitlements held by a deceased herd-owner may be transferred by way of inheritance. They may also be sold by the legal representatives of the deceased.
As mentioned above, Single Payment Entitlements are not attached to land and do not automatically transfer with land but are governed by normal testamentary procedures. Where the entitlements are not specifically mentioned in the Will of a deceased person, they form part of the residue of an estate.
To arrange for the transfer of these entitlements under the 2014 scheme year, a Transfer of Entitlements application must be submitted on or before 15th May 2014 to the Department.
A herd-owner applying to transfer entitlements by way of inheritance must produce the following documentation to confirm his/her status as rightful beneficiary;
Completed Transfer of Entitlements Application Form
Copy of Will and Copy of Probate
If Probate is not being extracted or may not be available for some time, an Indemnity Form may be accepted

Assessing Windsor's Vulnerability to Automation: Applying The Conference Board of Canada's Automation Vulnerability Index
The Conference Board of Canada, 19 pages, April 1, 2021
Data briefing by Joel Thomson , Zafer Sonmez
How will the labour force in Windsor, Ontario, fare in the future? Windsor currently has the highest share of workers in high-risk, low-mobility occupations than any other city in Canada.
On behalf of the Future Skills Centre, The Conference Board of Canada has developed the Automation Vulnerability Index (AVI) to track occupational vulnerability and workforce resiliency. Using the AVI, we can improve our understanding of Canada's unique skills training needs.
In Assessing Windsor's Vulnerability to Automation, the authors report that Windsor has the highest share of workers in high-risk, low-mobility occupations among any city in Canada. Compared with the national level, this share is 32.2 per cent greater. This is one of the key reasons why the region has the fifth-highest AVI score in the country. Windsor also has a fairly concentrated employment mix—59.5 per cent of its workers are employed by the region's top five sectors.
The data briefing also suggests some policy considerations to aid people to transition into less automation-susceptible occupations.

"Music is a universal language without any labels."
Nirupama V. | Jan 11, 2007
Asha Ramesh is getting ready for her upcoming concert, "Navneet Sangeet," to be held on Jan. 20. The concert is a fundraiser for Nandala Mission to support the Suraksha Dialysis Center in Chennai. Asha will be accompanied by the talented brother-sister duo of Anuradha Sridhar on the violin, and Sriram Brahmanandam on the mridangam, while Ravi Gutala will provide tabla accompaniment for pieces sung in the Hindustani style. The concert, which will include both traditional Karnatik music pieces and Hindustani pieces, reflects Asha's core beliefs. "Music is a universal language, and several formative experiences come together when I plan a concert which includes songs from many Indian languages. My formal training has been in Karnatik music, while I listened to my sister practice Hindustani music. I am a South Indian who grew up in North India. There was always an openness to speaking Hindi, and to absorbing the best that the North had to offer in terms of music. When I am asked to define where I come from, I answer that I am a 'true' Indian," she says with a laugh. When asked about the differences between Karnatik and Hindustani music, she peppers her impromptu demonstration of the two styles with these thoughts. "The differences start with the alapana. The Karnatik phrasing is crisp, and there is a rigidity in the way the raga swaras are delineated. Fluidity in the raga phrasing marks a Hindustani musician's alapana rendering. Then, of course, there are differences in pronunciation. 'Ri' in Karnatik music becomes a 're' in the Hindustani style. As a student, I wanted to avoid the situation where one style's nuances would seep into another, making it a wasteful exercise to try and master both." Reminiscing about her experiences learning Karnatik music under D.K. Jayaraman in Chennai, Asha says that, "for my Guru, shruthi alignment, clear pronunciation, appropriate bhava, and maintaining a style that did not rely on speedy phrasings that went up and down the scale were important. I use this to guide me, and take care when presenting songs from different languages. If I do not pronounce words in an unfamiliar language correctly, there might be an audience member who will tune me out for the rest of the concert based on his knowledge of the language. Planning a concert like this which tries to reach out to people from different language and cultural groups entails more hard work." Having explored the work of many Indian composers, any favorites? I ask. "Muthuswami Dikshitar," she says promptly, adding, "I love singing abhangs too. They have an upbeat quality that matches my personality." As I drove away after our conversation, I was reminded of a Bhimsen Joshi concert I attended in Baltimore 10 years ago, accompanied by a friend who understood Hindustani music. Being familiar with Karnatik music, I whispered to him anxiously between songs, not wanting to miss any tid-bit that he might have to share about the music. After some time, I found him with his eyes closed, completely enjoying the music. And I? I was sitting on the edge of my seat, worried that I might miss some important nuance that would help me enjoy the concert. Then, I realised how silly my quest had been. I had equated understanding the style's technical nuances to an enjoyment of the music. I put the brochure inside, and let the music flow into me. Asha's concert will have songs from about eight Indian languages with traditional pieces from Karnatik music followed by bhajans, and abhangs in the Hindustani style of music. Having listened to Asha for many years, I can imagine that what will remain in listeners' hearts will be her voice that soars to connect with the Divine in a sincere way. Does it truly matter whether the language is Telugu or Bengali when you try and invoke a spiritual space through music? Try not to affix labels of "Karnatik musician" versus "Hindustani musician," or "Telugu" versus "Bengali." Let the music truly flow into you. Do not repeat the mistake I made in that Bhimsen Joshi concert … Nirupama Vaidhyanathan …………………………………………………………………… Saturday, Jan. 20, 5 p.m., CET Performing Arts Center, 701 Vine St., San Jose. $15 general, $10 seniors, students, and balcony seating, children under 5 free, $100 sponsor (2 prime seats). (408) 255-8526, (408) 720-8437, (510) 818-0092. Nandalala Mission funds the Suraksha Dialysis Center in Chennai, which serves poor people who receive dialysis at the subsidized cost of Rs. 500. It uses state-of-the-art medical equipment with an operational cost of $15,000 per month. An example of their educational programs for needy Indian children is the Childrens' Club in Vijayanagar, Bangalooru where they provide childen with school supplies, and access to music, art, computer, and other classes. Local chapter of Nandalala Mission sponsors Matru Seva, where food is cooked and served in homeless shelters. They also sponsor youth concerts where children can perform music and other talent in a supportive environment.

Republic Day is an annually celebrated national holiday that commemorates the day Malta became a Republic State on the 13th December 1974. This day marks the election of Malta's first ever president: Sir Anthony Mamo.
After Malta's bravery in World War II, the British Empire rewarded the island with not only their highest honour, the George Cross, but also with the prospect of becoming an Independent State. This promise was fulfilled in 1964, as Malta achieved self-governance, became an Independent Sovereign State, and joined the commonwealth.
Picture: A Parliamentary session in the Tapestry Chamber between the 1964 Independence and Republic Day in 1974
Even though Malta was considered to be independent from Britain, it was still partly governed by the Queen of Malta, who bore a constitutional role. The Queen of Malta delegated this constitutional role through the then governor-general, Sir Anthony Mamo. Exactly 10 years after achieving independence, Malta's constitution was revised through insistence of the Labour Government, turning Malta into a Republic State. As a Republic, Malta abolished the role of the Queen of Malta and elected its first ever President of the Republic, the then governor-general, Sir Anthony Mamo. Even though Malta became a republic, the British fleet remained on the island providing financial and defensive benefit until the 31st March 1979, marking Freedom Day
Picture: Sir Anthony Mamo
Commemorating Republic Day
As a national holiday, Republic Day includes a variety of different stately events and celebrations. Perhaps the most awaited event is the yearly Awards Ceremony, where the President of the Republic of Malta, with which this holiday is most commonly associated with, presents the 'Ġieħ ir-Repubblika' award. This honour is granted to those individuals within military or political institutions, as well as to public figures who act as notable representatives of the country.
Apart from this award ceremony, Republic Day also features a grand fireworks display over the Grand Harbour, as well as a wreath-laying ceremony by state officials at the Republic Day monument in Marsa.
Closing the festivities is a yearly 'Trooping the Colour' military parade in St. George's Square, Valletta. As member of the commonwealth, Malta joins in this British Military tradition where the Armed Forces of Malta (AFM) soldiers and band march in a parade with the Presidential Colour. This is followed by a salute from the President of the Republic of Malta. The ceremonies close with a Fue de joie from the AFM.

With $6.6 million award from PCORI, UCLA scientists to study effectiveness of strategies designed to increase the use of the HPV vaccine to prevent cancer
UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center
Date: Thursday, November 30, 2017
CLA researcher Dr. Roshan Bastani will lead a $6.6 million research study awarded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to investigate the comparative effectiveness of strategies designed to increase receipt of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine among adolescents. By advancing the understanding of which health system interventions are most effective and efficient, the research has the potential to dramatically increase HPV vaccination and prevent HPV-related cancers nationwide.
For this study, the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health are partnering with the Northeast Valley Health Corporation (NEVHC), a multi-site Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that provides much needed health care to a primarily uninsured or publicly insured, low-income, Latino population in Los Angeles County.
The UCLA-NEVHC study is one of three studies selected for funding through PCORI's Pragmatic Clinical Studies Initiative, an effort to produce results that are broadly applicable to a diverse range of patients and health care settings and can be more quickly adopted in routine clinical practice.
Bastani is a professor in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, director of disparities and community engagement at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, and director of the UCLA Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Equity. The UCLA team includes Dr. Beth Glenn, Dr. Alison Herrmann and Dr. Catherine Crespi. The NEVHC team will be led by Ms. Debra Rosen, director of quality and health education, and Dr. Christine Park, Chief Medical Officer.
The discovery of HPV as a major cause of many cancers (including cervical, anal, oropharyngeal, vaginal, vulvar and penile) and the subsequent development of prophylactic HPV vaccines was a revolution in cancer prevention. However, ten years after the vaccine's introduction, HPV vaccination rates among U.S. adolescents remain unacceptably low. HPV-related cancers disproportionately affect ethnic minority and low-income groups in the United States, such as the patients served by NEVHC.
For the five-year research project, Bastani's team will assess system-level strategies for increasing receipt of the HPV vaccine among the largely Latino population receiving care in FQHCs, where HPV vaccination rates are much lower than in the general population. The study will compare three strategies: a multi-level, multi-component point-of-care (clinic-based) approach that targets physicians, staff, patients as well as clinic-level policies, procedures and practices; text message or mailed reminders sent to parents of NEVHC adolescent patients who are due for a dose of the HPV vaccine; and a combined clinic-based and parent-reminder approach.
More than 17,000 adolescents eligible for the HPV vaccine are expected to receive services at a participating NEVHC clinic during the project period, Bastani said.
"We are very excited to receive this award from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute," Bastani said. "By determining the comparative effectiveness and efficiency of our intervention strategies for increasing HPV vaccination in the NEVHC adolescent population, we have tremendous potential to improve the prevention of HPV-related cancers in other low resource clinical settings across the country. We greatly look forward to implementing this study and sharing its results."
The UCLA-NEVHC study was selected through a highly competitive review process in which patients, caregivers and other stakeholders joined scientists to evaluate the proposals. PCORI's Board has approved this award pending completion of a business and programmatic review by PCORI staff and issuance of a formal award contract.
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute is an independent, nonprofit organization authorized by Congress in 2010 to fund research that will provide patients, their caregivers and clinicians with the evidence-based information needed to make better-informed healthcare decisions.

ETC Webinar: Fundamentals of Web Accessibility
1 March 2023, from 15:00-16:30 (CET)
Have you ever thought...
Is your website truly accessible for all your audiences? How can a blind person find their way to your theatre's programme? Are your trailer videos subtitled for people living with hearing disabilities? Are the colours used on your website clear enough for colourblind people?
Since the European Web Accessibility Directive (in effect since the end of 2016), the websites and apps of public sector bodies must meet specific technical accessibility standards.ETC is offering a webinar on the fundamentals of web accessibility to help you evaluate the accessibility of your current website, the possible needs of your audience and potential that more accessibility features could unfold. Speaker Léonie Watson (Tetralogical, UK) will cover the following questions before entering in a Q&A session and discussion with the participants:
What is accessibility?
Who does accessibility benefit?
How is accessibility measured?
How is accessibility tested?
Who is responsible for accessibility?
When: 1 March 2023 at 15:00-16:30 (CET)
With: Léonie Watson, Director at TetraLogical
For whom: for ETC members only. Primarily for communication and marketing staff, especially those responsible for the online presence of your theatre (website, social media)

Q: .Net5 SignalR SqlNotification Not Notifying Client Hello everyone and thanks for the help in advance.  I am developing a .Net 5 SignalR notification that utilizes SQL Notification.  The application is partially working, sending a notification to the client on the first time the page loads.  After some further debugging.  I determined the SendCallNotifications method is called correctly upon each database update, however, the client does not update correctly.  I'm not sure if the problem lies in my javascript, a threading problem since it is set up as a task, or whether there is some type of failure in the pipeline.  Here is my hub code:
    public class CallNotificationHub : Hub
{
    //
    //  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/signalr/hubs?view=aspnetcore-5.0
    //  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/signalr/hubs?view=aspnetcore-5.0
    //
    private SqlDependency dependency;

    //  public Task OnConnected()
    public override async Task OnConnectedAsync()
    {
        //return base.OnConnectedAsync();
        await base.OnConnectedAsync();
    }

    //[HubMethodName("sendCallNotifications")]
    public async Task SendCallNotifications()
    {
        SendEmail sendEmail = new SendEmail("SendCallNotifications Reached", "New SignalR5 Notification", "");

        try
        {
            string connectionString = "connectionstring";
            SqlDependency.Start(connectionString);
            SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
            connection.Open();

            SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand();
            command.CommandText = "SELECT [ID], [TimeEntered], [CallFrom], [CallTo] FROM [dbo].[tbl_Log_InboundTwilioCalls]";
            command.Connection = connection;
            command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;

            dependency = new SqlDependency(command);
            dependency.OnChange += new OnChangeEventHandler(dependency_OnChange);

            DataTable dt = new DataTable();

            dependency.AddCommandDependency(command);

            var reader = command.ExecuteReader();

            //await Clients.All.SendAsync("ReceiveMessage", "user", "message");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            SendEmail sendErrEmail = new SendEmail("SendCallNotifications Error", ex.ToString(), "");
        }

        await Clients.All.SendAsync("RecieveNotification", "Changed");
    }

    private void dependency_OnChange(object sender, SqlNotificationEventArgs e)
    {
        SendEmail sendEmail = new SendEmail("Dependency Change", e.Type.ToString(), "");
        if (e.Type == SqlNotificationType.Change)
        {
            CallNotificationHub nHub = new CallNotificationHub();
            nHub.SendCallNotifications();
        }
    }

And here is my javascript.
"use strict";

var connection = new signalR.HubConnectionBuilder().withUrl("/CallNotificationHub").build();

connection.on("RecieveNotification", (result) => {
var li = document.createElement("li");
li.textContent = result;
document.getElementById("messagesList").appendChild(li);

console.log(result);
alert("Changed");
});

connection.start().then(function () {
connection.invoke("SendCallNotifications").catch(err => console.error(err));
}).catch(function (err) {
return console.error(err.toString());
});

I don't see any errors in the console, so I am not sure where to look next.  Any help would be appreciated.
I just ran into a new error showing up in the console:
Error: An unexpected error occurred invoking 'SendCallNotifications' on the server.

So well, first of all, I just want to ask you, I asked you many years ago, this is probably about 19 years ago, somebody said I should drink carrot juice. And you talked about things that could get in the way.
It could affect the drug therapy or whatever the course of treatment was that you, as a cancer expert, were recommending for me. So could we talk a little bit about things? And you've had however many years of people asking you this. What do you say to people about whether it's supplements, juicing, all kinds of things. And then I'm going to ask Jamie about communication, too, about this. But how about just from a treatment point of view, what we can do ourselves that's to the good or maybe not.
I think that when people are on any treatment, they shouldn't take any supplements or extraordinary amounts of anything. I had a patient who his wife loved him very much. And she was juicing with carrots. And then he strolled in the door, and he looked orange. And his spleen had increased from about 3 centimeters under the ribs down to 9.
And his white count had gone up. And there are some patients that have actually retinoid receptors on their leukemic cells. And it made them grow. And when she stopped loving him so much and stopped giving him the juice, everything came back to normal. And the other thing is that things that are as simple as grapefruit juice have very marked effect on metabolism of a lot of different drugs. So unless you're absolutely sure that the drugs that you're taking are not affected by grapefruit, just don't drink grapefruit, particularly when you're on any of the treatments. Certainly, for ibrutinib (Imbruvica), you don't go on grapefruit juice.
So by and large, it's a very simplistic thing that I say. And it's trite, but I still believe it.
You eat what you want to eat in moderation and drink what you want to drink in moderation. And don't take other agents that we don't know what they do in your body, because none of these alternative therapies have really been studied generally—and certainly not in a situation where there's an impaired immune system. And so basically do that, and do the things you like to do and not what you're told you should do by a spouse or others. And that was wrong.
So, Nicole, I have a question for you about this. So any of us who go in a shopping mall, there's often one of these vitamin stores or something like that.
And they usually have a big poster out front, immune building. And we know we have compromised immune systems. We talk about that allowing the cancer to develop, etc. So it sounds good to me. And often, they say, you start to talk to someone, and they say the drug companies will tell you this. There's been a conspiracy for you not to know that this bottle of pills or on the Internet as well, is going to boost your immune system. And people are always trying to sell you stuff if you hung around the Internet, too.
So is there a deep, dark secret that there is something I'll find in that store on the Internet that's going to restore my immune system?
So the Internet is very good, but it's also very dangerous. You can Google anything, and there are cancer diets. There's cancer this, there's cancer that. But the truth of the matter is we haven't tested not only in all cancers but then in specific cancers, people under different circumstances, they may be on other concomitant medications or chemotherapy treatments. We really don't know.
And so don't get me wrong, many cancer treatments have come from plants and alternative forms of medications. But we don't know how their interaction is. So I do the same thing with my patients that Michael does with his. I tell them if they're not on treatment, and they actually want to dabble in some vitamins that they need to go through that list with me. That I need to, actually, because everything you process, whether it's over the counter or not, needs to go through your kidneys and your liver. And your other organs need to metabolize these agents. And somebody should be keeping an eye on those organ functions.
And on chemotherapy, for sure, absolutely not. So it's absolutely important that supplements or juicing or something that you buy from the drug store that you're saying or the specialty shops that you actually discuss that with your practitioners, because it really is vital, because there are interactions. I just had a woman that absolutely you could raise your liver enzymes or your kidney function tests by taking alternative medicines that you didn't know may harm your organs. And you're taking them in high doses. So I agree, moderation in everything.
So Dr. Estrov, so any of the stuff, even though it's not a prescription medicine, has affected on your body, right? And we often don't pay attention maybe enough to what's going on.
So one thing, the substances are not FDA approved. Nobody is monitoring it. So somebody went and tested. What's in there, and what's on the label? There was a huge discrepancy. So you think you are taking something you don't—number one. Number two, we don't know. Nobody studies it. When we do clinical trials, we test things all the time. Nobody is doing it. So if you do something extreme, and then you don't tell your doctor because you don't want to be embarrassed, it's terrible. Suddenly, a patient shows up, and his liver function test is extremely abnormal. And then try to figure out what happened.
And we have to be very, very careful. Now, one thing, Google is very good for self-education. But Google is a bad doctor. Learn as much as you can and then consult with your medical team.


A good lightning kind of night.
On dull, ho-hum, here-I-am-on-my-couch-again nights, I long for something to stir the pot. Something to add some sparkle and accent to an otherwise bland canvas of routine existence. Something like tonight.
For over an hour, I've been sitting in my living room which is surrounded on three sides by windows and take in strike after strike of lightning, the rumbling and rolling of thunder. People describe thunderstorms as nature's fireworks. Fireworks shows spark my interest; thunderstorms capture and command my wonder.
When I scroll through the guide on my TV screen to see what's on and find a show about lightning, I immediately bite and watch every minute. When I pass a photography book in Barnes & Noble on lightning, I stop and flip through every single page. When I'm trying to fall asleep but am bored to death and pining for something more, I pray for lightning.
On a drive back from visiting friends in Chambersburg, PA last month, I was caught in some crazy thunderstorms for a good hour and a half. Through my rain-splattered windshield, I was watching lightning strike seemingly right in front of me. This simple drive, after a summer of great, great friends, a trip to Seattle, a 24-mile hike through the Adirondacks (more on that later), is in my top-five moments of the last few months.
Something about the suspense in looking through darkness, the sound of free-falling rain drops meeting the roof and porch, waiting for the next flash simply makes me happy. I love the sudden thrill of seeing the world around me light up, bright white and so unnaturally captured for that split second. Before I can catch my breath, the thunder rolls into my chest. Thunder is so crazy to me because even though it makes a sound that I would liken to the earth's foundations shaking, it comforts me. Well, the low, rumbling thunder, anyway. The sharp high thunder that comes out of nowhere just makes me want to wet myself.
Thunderstorms are just another juxtaposition of fear and wonder that make me realize who I am, and who God is. God is the one who created this universe, this crazy planet we live on. He's deeper than the darkest, unexplored parts of the ocean; He's more jaw-dropping than any of the looming, heavens-reaching mountain peaks; He's more powerful than the hurricanes that rip trees from the ground; He's more beautiful than the rays of the setting sun hitting the desert rocks in Arizona.
I'm a tiny boy with wide eyes and shaky knees, taking it all in with wonder.
I used to dream about nights like this, about lightning painting everything in white and thunder shaking the floor and walls, and sitting up with someone special, watching the whole show with accelerated heart rates. I may be jaded these days about trying to bring someone along for the ride, trying to buy two tickets to a show and hoping for a mutual response. Maybe a few months ago, a night like this might make me more disappointed, more sad that I can't share my wonder in the moment. If I've learned anything this summer, though, it's this: I won't let anything steal from me what life is raining down and willing to give.
That's why tonight has been a good night.

Dirtmusic's new album "Lion City" is out!
UNCUT (UK):
"Global fusion at its most democratic and exhilarating"
MUSIC OMH (UK): ****
"Lion City is a strong, viscerally stirring album and a true highlight of intercultural awareness in the contemporary music climate."
WONDERING SOUND (UK):
"Like Troubles, Lion City does attempt a new, thrilling kind of fusion, gathering everything from blues to dub, rock to electronica together, and confidently pulling it all forward. It's an album of real vision. Step by step, Dirtmusic are building a new world sound."
AUDIO (DE): ****
"A psychedelic trip of hand-played strings, ambient electronical sounds, uninterrupted dark rhythms and whispering echoes."
MUSIC NEWS (UK):
"Dirtmusic just keep getting better. With every release they seem to delve deeper into the heart and soul of their music and keep developing new ways to hypnotize and entrance the listener. This is music that has gone beyond and takes the listener with it."
DISTORSIONI (UK): 8/10
"This extraordinary album ends with September 12, a song of love to the grandmother of a young senegalese singer Ibrahima Douf who reveals a rare sensitivity as an interpreter ...the echo of his singing seems to propagate a fascinating and mysterious African night."
MONDOMIX (FR):
"dark and sensual, Lion City indulges in the eddies of the night. Built on electronic strata, Malian acoustic instruments and vintage guitars, Lion City confirms the validity of their approach: by dipping into the dust, their hands come back with traces of gold nuggets."
LOUDER THAN WAR (UK): 10/10
"The brilliance of Troubles clearly wasn't a one-off, and I thought long and hard about what score to give this album. In the end, it was easy, Lion City is another classic."


The Definitive Luxury Argentina tour to the very highlights of Argentina. With most meals, private and small group tours and deluxe rooms at selected luxury 5* hotels and estancias, this is the perfect luxury tour of Argentina for the discerning traveller.
After breakfast, a private city tour of perhaps the most cosmopolitan metropolis in South America. Most of the population is of European descent and the city is reminiscent of Paris. It is situated on the Rio de la Plata, and as its name suggests, it is the city of good winds. The tour will include a visit to the Plaza de Mayo, the hub of the city centre and where many public buildings such as the Catedral Metropolitana can be found. At the east end, you will find the Casa Rosada presidential palace with the famous balcony from which Juan and Evita Peron greeted the masses. A visit will also be lade to the Teatro Colon, found at the intersection of Cirrito and Tucuman the world-class opera house that opened in 1908 with a presentation of Aida. It seats 2500 spectators and offers standing room for another 1000. There is also a museum featuring instruments, costumes and photographs of performers. You shall also visit La Boca, Buenos Aires' most colourful neighbourhood. San Telmo, just a few blocks south of Plaza de Mayo is the artist's quarter, what some believe to be Buenos Aires' most interesting feature.
A final visit to Recoleta, a very fashionable area where you can visit the fine arts museum, called Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, and the city's gardens of Plaza Alvear and Plaza Francia. The latter hosts the largest crafts fair in the city every Sunday. Lunch at the La Bourgogne, the only Relais Gourmand in Argentina. The restaurant serves the finest French and international food in the city and according to Travel & Leisure magazine rated La Bourgogne the number one restaurant in South America, and Wine Spectator gave it the distinction of being one of the "Best Restaurants in the World for Wine Lovers."
After breakfast, transfer to the airport for the flight to Puerto Iguazu. Transfer to your hotel, the Iguazu Grand Hotel. Lunch and dinner at the hotel.
A full day visit to the fabulous UNESCO World Heritage Iguazu falls, the most voluminous falls in the world and more than three times the width of the Niagara Falls. The Argentinean side of Iguazu allows for a close appreciation. Set in a subtropical rain forest reserve of over 180,000 hectares, Iguazu is home to jaguar, puma, caiman and over 400 species of bird. The tour will include the Aventura ride, an exhilarating boat ride on the Parana River, heading towards the Iguazu falls themselves. Return to your hotel, the Iguazu Grand Hotel.
Today you will cross the border into Brazil for a half day excursion to appreciate a wider view of the falls. The falls lie on the three borders of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Return to your hotel in Argentina for your last night.
(Please note that all US citizens require a Brazilian visa for this excursion).
After breakfast, transfer to the airport for the flight to Buenos Aires and take the connecting flight to El Calafate. Arrival and transfer to the spectacularly located Los Notros Hosteria offering incomparable views of the glacier.
El Calafate is the site of the incredible Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the most dramatic natural sites left on earth. The Perito Moreno Glacier of Santa Cruz is a 60m (197ft) high river of rising, toppling and exploding ice, though it hasn't advanced for several years. Excursion to the incredible Perito Moreno Glacier, walking along footpaths and balconies to reach this incredible phenomenon.
After breakfast, opportunity to walk on the glacier or for a selection of other activities including other treks, 4x4 trips and boat trips to other glaciers in the area such as Upsala, Onelli and Spegazzini.
After breakfast, transfer to the airport for the return flight to Buenos Aires and your connecting flight home.
Accommodation in deluxe rooms at selected luxury 5* hotels and estancias.


Algeria has devised a National Nutrition Policy/Strategy.
The Government of Algeria has achieved two high doses of vitamin A supplementation for 93% of children in 2005.
98.7% of the population of Algeria in 2015 has access to an improved drinking water source.
In Algeria 92.7% of women aged 15-49 were visited at least once during pregnancy by skilled health personnel in 2012-2013.
In Algeria, constitutional protection of the right to social security is strong.
Algeria's social safety nets are well developed, but do not cover all risks for all of the population.
Strong civil registration rates (99.6% in 2012-2013) potentially enable children's access to critical public services such as health and education.
Spending on agriculture (4.7% of public spending in 2014), does not meet government commitments set out in the African Union's Maputo Declaration (10% of public spending).
Algeria's spending in its health sector (10.7% of public spending in 2015) does not fully meet (15%) commitments set out in the Abuja Declaration.
In Algeria, the law gives women and men equal economic rights and equal legal access to agricultural land. However, these laws are not effectively enforced and discriminatory practices against women continue, increasing their vulnerability to hunger and undernutrition.
Relative to other HANCI countries, Algeria's medium/long term national development policy (Plan d'Action du gouvernment pour la mise en oeuvre du programme du Président de la République) places weak importance to nutrition.
Algeria does not have a separate budget line for nutrition; this prevents transparency and accountability for spending.
Even though Algeria has developed a National Nutrition Policy/Strategy, clear time-bound nutrition targets and a multisectoral and multistakeholder policy coordination mechanism are still lacking.
Policymakers in Algeria do not benefit from regular nutrition surveys that are statistically representative at national level. The last survey was published in 2012-2013.
The Government of Algeria does not promote complementary feeding practices.

'Garbage Collection in SSDs' is a contributed article that was submitted by LSI and authored by Kent Smith, Senior Director of Product. Solid state storage garbage collection (GC) is the process by which a solid state drive (SSD) improves write performance. Garbage collection, like TRIM. Write amplification (WA) is an undesirable phenomenon associated with flash memory and . Garbage collection is a big part of write amplification on the SSD.
SSD's Garbage Collection is where controller identifies which blocks contain invalid data, then. The industry of solid-state drive (SSD) encounters many complex issues pertaining to the design of SSDs. One of these complicate issues is how to manage er. Kingston's Garbage Collection Methodologies for Greater SSD Performance for Client Workloads.
You should know that Apple doesn't support TRIM (an operating-system-level garbage collection command) on third-party SSDs. It was. Basics of SSD Performance Tests : Garbage collection. Read the second part of our series of articles on the topic of SSD testing. Some time ago we've been. Thanks to Ars Technica we have some great resources explaining how SSDs, TRIM and Garbage Collection works.

When we last left Lanie Zephyr, she was getting used to life in a wheelchair, after saving one of her students from Senior Prank Night and breaking her back in the process.
And blunting some of her semi-pseudo-superhero powers.
Now it's six years later and Lanie's orderly life is starting to fall apart.
Her brothers are living with her while their parents are out of the country on another book research trip.
Not so bad, but their parents have missed 2 check-in phone calls already.
The newspaper where Lanie works has been taken over by a conglomerate she now refers to as the Evil Empire — and she loses her beloved school sports beat, to be put on the … gag … lovelorn column.
Then a friend in the military shows up to say her parents have vanished … near the Bermuda Triangle.
A series of increasingly nasty pranks lead her to believe someone is out to get her.
But worst of all, Christmas is only a few weeks away and she hasn't started her Christmas shopping or her holiday baking spree.
It's enough to make a semi-pseudo-superhero hang up her cape!

The toolbar UI component has a scrollable list of items which can be selected. Only one item can be selected at a time. For more information, see the Toolbar API.
Append items to the toolbar with elm_toolbar_item_append() function. The function takes 5 parameters: the pointer of the toolbar, a file path of an icon, a text, a callback function to call when the item is clicked, and the parameter passed to the callback.
Set the toolbar as the content of a container component. A toolbar is usually used to show a menu inside a naviframe.
The following example shows a simple use case of the toolbar component.
You can set the shrink and select mode of the toolbar, and set the items to be displayed homogeneously. You can also define a state for the toolbar item.
ELM_TOOLBAR_SHRINK_NONE: Set a minimum size to the toolbar so that all of them fit without scrolling.
ELM_TOOLBAR_SHRINK_HIDE: Hide excess items that do not fit.
ELM_TOOLBAR_SHRINK_SCROLL: Scroll to show the items that do not fit.
ELM_TOOLBAR_SHRINK_MENU: Insert a button to pop up a menu with hidden items.
ELM_TOOLBAR_SHRINK_EXPAND: Expand all items according to the size of the toolbar.
The following examples illustrate the shrink modes.
A toolbar displays items homogeneously by default, with long label items occupying a lot of space.
You can define 2 or more states for an item. Each state has its own icon, label, and function to call when an item is clicked.
- elm.text elm.swallow.icon This style is for the toolbar's item. Use the elm_toolbar_item_append() function to set the text and the icon.
elm/toolbar/item/navigationbar - elm.text N/A This style is for the toolbar's item. Use the elm_toolbar_item_append() function to set the text and the icon.
You can register callback functions connected to the following signals for a toolbar object.

After Action Report: Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program Exercise, Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant (HNP) [November 29, 2011]
From the Executive Summary: "On November 29, 2011, the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region IV, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program staff evaluated a plume exposure pathway exercise in the emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant (HNP). The evaluation of out of sequence activities during the week of October 11-13, and 26, 2011 is included in this report. The activities included: Traffic control points (TCP); protective actions for schools; reception and congregate care centers; emergency worker and vehicle monitoring and decontamination. The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans and procedures. The previous federally evaluated exercise was conducted on March 3, 2009. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted February 28, 1987."

Application of Social Network Analysis Methods to Quantitatively Assess Exercise Coordination
Show summary Open resource [html] (open full abstract)
From the article's abstract: "Previous failures in effective, large-scale disaster response (e.g., Hurricane Katrina) are often traced to failures in effective coordination. As evidenced in after-action reports, however, assessments of coordination performance are still largely anecdotal in nature. Network analysis is a possible means to develop quantitative metrics for coordination assessment. In this paper, two techniques are proposed for characterizing coordination performance. First, Borgatti's technique for quantifying network fragmentation was used to measure the extent to which various response agencies play a role in establishing efficient communications. Second, Girvan and Newman's technique for community sub-group identification was used to identify potential breakdowns in information transfer. Both techniques were successfully implemented in a case-study analysis of the Top Officials 4 exercise. The techniques can provide additional insights into coordination performance, identifying exercise artificialities and allowing meta-analysis of coordination performance (e.g., over time, across regions, for different event scales)."

Quick Facts on the Faster and Smarter Funding for First Responders Act of 2005
This document provides key points of H.R. 1544. H.R. 1544, the Faster and Smarter Funding for First Responders Act of 2005, reforms the manner in which the Department of Homeland Security (DHS or the Department) issues Federal grants to enhance the ability of States, local governments, regions, Indian tribes, and first responders to prevent, prepare for, respond to, mitigate against, and recover from threatened or actual acts of terrorism. H.R. 1544 does not create a new grant program. Rather, it establishes a common set of rules for three of the Departments existing terrorism preparedness grant programs - the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP), the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), and the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP). At its most fundamental level, H.R. 1544 is designed to expedite the delivery of Federal terrorism preparedness assistance to first responders where it is needed most and, at the same time, end undisciplined homeland security spending.

Treasury's Terrorist Finance Program's Access to Information Held by the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) [July 7, 2006]
"Recent press reports have raised questions about the Department of the Treasury's Terrorist Finance Tracking Program's access to information on international financial transactions held by the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), a Brussels-based organization owned by banks in many countries, which serves as a hub for international funds transfers. Its records contain names, addresses, and account numbers of senders and receivers of international wire transfers between banks and between securities firms, thus providing a useful source for federal officials responsible for following money trails across international borders. On June 29, 2006, the House of Representatives passed H.Res. 895 voicing support for the Treasury program as fully compliant with all applicable laws; condemning the unauthorized disclosure of classified information; and calling upon news media organizations not to disclose classified intelligence programs. H.Res. 904 was introduced to discourage government censorship of the press."

Use of Federal Troops for Disaster Assistance: Legal Issues [August 14, 2006]
"Hurricane Katrina raised questions concerning the President's legal authority to send active duty military forces into a disaster area and the permissible functions the military can perform to protect life and property and maintain order. The Stafford Act authorizes the use of the military for disaster relief operations at the request of the state governor, but does not authorize the use of the military to perform law enforcement functions, which is ordinarily prohibited by the Posse Comitatus Act. However, the President may invoke other authorities, such as the Insurrection Act, to use federal troops to aid in the execution of the law. This report summarizes the possible constitutional and statutory authorities and constraints relevant to the use of armed forces, including National Guard units in federal service, to provide assistance to states when a natural disaster impedes the operation of state and local police. The report also addresses proposed legislation, including H.R. 5122 (S. 2766)."

Federal and State Quarantine and Isolation Authority [Updated August 16, 2006]
From the Summary: "In the wake of recent terrorist attacks and increasing fears about the spread of highly contagious diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and pandemic influenza, federal, state, and local governments have become increasingly aware of the need for a comprehensive public health response to such events. An effective response could include the quarantine of persons exposed to infectious biological agents that are naturally occurring or released during a terrorist attack, the isolation of infected persons, and the quarantine of certain cities or neighborhoods. [...] This report provides an overview of federal and state public health laws as they relate to the quarantine and isolation of individuals, a discussion of constitutional issues that may be raised should individual liberties be restricted in a quarantine situation, and federalism questions that may arise where federal and state authorities overlap. In addition, the possible role of the armed forces in enforcing public health measures is discussed, specifically whether the Posse Comitatus Act would constrain any military role, and other statutory authorities that may be used for the military enforcement of health measures."

Hurricane Katrina: The Role of the Federal Emergency Management Agency: Hearing Before the United States House of Representatives Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina, One Hundred Ninth Congress, First Session, September 27, 2005
This testimony compilation is from the September 27, 2005 hearing, "Hurricane Katrina: The Role of the Federal Emergency Management Agency," before the U.S. House of Representatives Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina. From the opening statement of Tom Davis: "With the help of former FEMA Director Michael Brown, we will attempt to construct for the record a timeline of what FEMA did and didn't do before, during, and after this catastrophic storm. Our focus will be on what happened, when, and why. We will ask Mr. Brown whether the timeline of events we've constructed matches his memory of how things transpired. And we'll ask him which local, state, and federal government officials he spoke with, and what they spoke about. Like it or not, fair or not, FEMA in general and Mr. Brown in particular have become the symbol of all that went wrong with the government's response to Katrina. Today we'll hear his side of the story, and ask the questions all Americans want and expect us to ask. What went wrong? What could you have done differently? We have the benefit this morning of 'compare and contrast.' While Rita was a very different storm from Katrina -- a size Large compared to a size Triple X, a storm that struck a far less densely populated area -- it's clear governments at all levels did things differently this time around. Despite differences in scale and scope and strength and speed, and despite the fact that all was not perfect with the reaction to Rita, the latest hurricane showed we already have learned a great deal from Katrina. If only we'd learned a little earlier." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Tom Davis and Michael Brown.

Wolf Creek Generating Station After Action Report/Improvement Plan, Burlington, KS, November 15, 2011
"On November 15, 2011, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region VII, conducted an exercise in the plume emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Wolf Creek Generating Station. In addition, out-of-sequence drills were conducted on October 13 and October 27, 2011. The purpose of the exercise and drills was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. The exercise and drills were held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans and procedures. The previous exercise at this site was conducted on June 3, 2009. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on November 7, 1984."
Report from the Task Force on State and Local Homeland Security Funding
The Task Force was brought together on a bipartisan basis to examine the funding process and to provide specific recommendations to expedite the flow of homeland security dollars to those responsible for preventing and responding to acts of terrorism. By working closely with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and stakeholders at every level of government, the Task Force was able to solicit input from many sources and thoroughly examine the issues. Common themes began to surface and recommendations were developed as a result of several key findings.

Security Guidelines for General Aviation Airports
From the Executive Summary: "The purpose of the Security Guidelines for General Aviation Airports Information Publication (IP) is to provide owners, operators, sponsors, and other entities charged with oversight of GA airports a set of federally endorsed security enhancements and a method for determining when and where these enhancements may be appropriate. The document does not contain regulatory language nor is it intended to suggest that any recommendations or guidelines should be considered a mandatory requirement. However, program requirements for operators regulated under the Twelve-Five and Private Charter Rules are not addressed in this document, remain in effect, and may be incorporated into airport security procedures if appropriate. TSA launched this project, working collaboratively with key stakeholders, to develop and disseminate appropriate security guidelines for general aviation airports and heliports. A Working Group was established under the Aviation Security Advisory Committee (ASAC) to compile a list of recommended security best practices used throughout the industry. The ASAC delivered its recommendations to TSA in November 2003. These recommendations form the framework for the IP and all of the ASAC recommendations were incorporated. The document offers an extensive list of options, ideas, and suggestions for the airport operator, sponsor, tenant and/or user to choose from when considering security enhancements for GA facilities."

Evaluation of the Transportation Security Administration's Screener Training and Methods of Testing
"In response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States, Congress enacted the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, Public Law No. 107-71 (ATSA), which established the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). On February 17, 2002, TSA officially assumed responsibility for civil aviation security functions and began hiring and training federal employees to perform passenger checkpoint and checked baggage screening functions. TSA developed two basic training courses to address the needs of passenger and checked baggage screeners. Although both types of screeners are taught some shared knowledge and skills, passenger checkpoint screeners develop additional skills in X-ray operation, screening of persons, and searching accessible property, while checked baggage screeners develop additional skills in searching checked baggage and operating certain machines that detect explosives. TSA's early versions of the basic training courses received criticism from the Department of Transportation and Department of Homeland Security Offices of Inspector General for the quality of OJT and checked baggage screener testing. In June 2003, TSA's Office of Workforce Performance and Training announced plans for course revisions. This review was initiated to determine whether TSA updated the courses and is meeting the training requirements set by ATSA."

Securing Our Homeland: U.S. Department of Homeland Security Strategic Plan 2004
This document provides the vision and direction, as well as the goals and objectives for the Department of Homeland Security. "One year ago, no single federal department had homeland security as its primary objective. Now it is our mission. Our most important job is to protect the American people and our way of life from terrorism. We have a single, clear line of authority to get the job done. While we can never eliminate the potential for attack, particularly in a society that's as open, as diverse, and as large as ours, we will significantly reduce the Nation's vulnerability to terrorism and terrorist attack over time. Through partnerships with state, local and tribal governments and the private sector, we are working to ensure the highest level of protection and preparedness for the country and the citizens we serve. This plan outlines our approach to implement the National Strategy to secure the United States from terrorist threats and attacks, and prepare our country by building up capacity to respond if either occurs. It provides the frame of reference in which we will set priorities and focus our operations. We, in the Department of Homeland Security, are working to protect our fellow citizens and our very way of life by securing our borders, our airports, our waterways and our critical infrastructure. We undertake the challenges before us with the understanding that Americans do not live in fear. We live in freedom, and we will never let that freedom go."
Managing the Aviation Insider Threat
"Despite enhancements to aviation security since September 11, 2001, there remain vulnerabilities from employees at airports. This threat results from airline/airport employees that have access to sensitive and restricted areas during the normal course of their required duties. This thesis evaluates the threat and the measures in place to prevent attacks from aviation insiders. In addition, it evaluates a measure commonly referred to as 100 percent employee screening. Finally, the thesis derives recommendations to enhance the current methods to reduce the vulnerability, as well as proposes additional measures to further reduce the threat from aviation insiders."

Compendium of Federal Terrorism Training for State and Local Audiences
"The ability of state and local governments to respond effectively to acts of terrorism depends on the knowledge and skills of elected and appointed officials and first responders. In April 2002, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) conducted a study for Congress that focused on terrorism training, from Federal agencies, for state and local officials. While gathering information for the study, FEMA staff heard repeatedly that local officials and responders need a single source of information on available training. In partnership with FEMA's Office of National Preparedness, the Training Division, United States Fire Administration, developed this searchable on-line database to provide a single source for terrorism training information. This database represents the first step in FEMA's goal of developing an overall terrorism training management system. The information contained in the database comes from the updated Compendium of Federal Terrorism Training for state and local audiences and includes information provided to FEMA by several federal agencies."
Top Officials (TOPOFF) Exercise Series: TOPOFF 2: After Action Summary Report [Seattle, Washington and Chicago, Illinois; May 12-16, 2003]
"Top Officials 2 (TOPOFF 2) was a Congressionally- mandated, national terrorism exercise that was designed to identify vulnerabilities in the nation's domestic incident management capability by exercising the plans, policies, procedures, systems, and facilities of federal, state, and local response organizations against a series of integrated terrorist threats and acts in separate regions of the country. TOPOFF 2 was the largest and most comprehensive terrorism response exercise ever conducted in the United States. The exercise scenario, which was played out from May 12 to May 16, 2003, depicted a fictitious, foreign terrorist organization that detonated a simulated radiological dispersal device (RDD) in Seattle, Washington, and released the Pneumonic Plague (Yersinia pestis) in several Chicago metropolitan area locations. There was also significant pre-exercise intelligence play, a cyber-attack, and credible terrorism threats against other locations. The exercise brought together top government officials from 25 federal, state, and local agencies and departments, and the Canadian Government to test the domestic incident management in response to WMD terrorist attacks in the United States. This report details the activities and actions taken during the exercise."
Initial National Response Plan
This document implements, on an interim basis, the domestic incident management authorities, roles, and responsibilities of the Secretary of Homeland Security as defined in Homeland Security Presidential Directive-5 (HSPD-5), Management of Domestic Incidents. This document also provides interim guidance on Federal coordinating structures and processes for domestic incident management pending the development, coordination, validation, and implementation of a full National Response Plan (NRP) and National Incident Management System (NIMS), as required by HSPD-5. It is applicable to domestic incident management in the context of terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies.
Department of Homeland Security Working Group on Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD) Preparedness: Medical Preparedness and Response Sub-Group
This report focuses on radiological dispersal device (RDD) Preparedness and medical preparedness response and is a joint effort of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Health & Human Services, and the Emergency Medical Response groups. It offers medical guidelines and an array of topic areas such radiological protection for first responders and first contact medical personnel; evacuation, sheltering, and other public health measures to reduce/avert radiation dose; guidelines on dealing with deceased persons following radiological terrorism; guidance for managing stress in first responders; evacuation, sheltering, and other public health measures to reduce/avert radiation dose. RDD events are very unlikely to contaminate victims in a way that will be harmful to responders or caregivers. If a victim is acutely injured, responders should attend to those injuries immediately, regardless of the type or degree of personal protective equipment that is available. Normal barrier clothing and masks should be used if available, but care of patients with life-threatening injuries should not be delayed because first responders lack adequate personal protective equipment Contaminated personnel, equipment, and vehicles can be cleaned later, at little risk to human health or the integrity of the equipment.

Securing Our Ports: Information Sharing is Key to Effective Maritime Security: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Government Management, Finance, and Accountability of the Committee on Government Reform, House of Representatives, One Hundred Ninth Congress, Second Session, July 10, 2006
From the opening statement of Todd Platts: "Securing our Nation's ports against potential terrorist attack has become one of our Nation's security priorities since September 11, 2001. Given the fact that the ports are large, sprawling enterprises, that often stretch across jurisdictional boundaries, the need to share information among Federal, State and local governments, as well as private entities, is central to effective prevention and response. Today, the maritime system of the United States consists of more than 300 sea and river ports, with more than 3,700 cargo and passenger terminals, and more than 1,000 harbor channels spread across thousands of miles of coastline. […] The Port of New York and New Jersey brings together diverse, complex, and economically intertwined and competing interests serving not only the States of New York and New Jersey, but also Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and my home State of Pennsylvania. Coordination between and amongst all of these entities is vital for national security. The U.S. Coast Guard has been designated as a lead Federal agency, with responsibility of port security. The Coast Guard, along with the New York Police Department and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, has made significant progress in providing effective training for port security here in this region."

Development of Evacuation Time Estimate Studies for Nuclear Power Plants
"Since the publication of NUREG/CR-4831, State of the Art in Evacuation Time Estimate Studies for Nuclear Power Plants, technologies supporting the development of Evacuation Time Estimates (ETEs) have substantially changed and additional evacuation considerations have emerged. ETEs are part of the planning basis for each nuclear power plant (NPP), and as such, ETE studies are required to be performed by licensees to estimate the time needed to evacuate the public in the unlikely event of a serious accident. As advancements in new technologies that support evacuations and evacuation planning continue, and as new information on evacuations becomes available, it is important that these technologies and information be considered in development of an ETE."

Analysis of Sheltering and Evacuation Strategies for an Urban Nuclear Detonation Scenario
"Development of an effective strategy for shelter and evacuation is among the most important planning tasks in preparation for response to a low yield, nuclear detonation in an urban area. This study examines shelter-evacuate policies and effectiveness focusing on a 10 kt scenario in Los Angeles. The goal is to provide technical insights that can support development of urban response plans. Results indicate that extended shelter-in-place can offer the most robust protection when high quality shelter exists. Where less effective shelter is available and the fallout radiation intensity level is high, informed evacuation at the appropriate time can substantially reduce the overall dose to personnel. However, uncertainties in the characteristics of the fallout region and in the exit route can make evacuation a risky strategy. Analyses indicate that only a relatively small fraction of the total urban population may experience significant dose reduction benefits from even a well-informed evacuation plan."

Waater Infrastructure Risk Assessment: Increasing Security and Reliability by Design
"National and international security challenges shifted with the end of the cold war. Scarcity of arable land, water, and other basic resources are now recognized as critical components of regional stability in many areas around the world. Water resources and the associated supply, treatment, and distribution infrastructures are important elements of national security that face a spectrum of threats. According to the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, the nation is so dependent on our infrastructures that we must view them through a national security lens. Infrastructures are also essential to the nation's economic health and social well-being. Recent threats and isolated attacks on the water distribution system suggest a trend that could put our water infrastructures at risk. Foreign governments, disgruntled employees, terrorist groups, transnational crime syndicates, and vandals all pose potential threats to our nation's water systems."
Algorithm and Simulation Development in Support of Response Strategies for Contamination Events in Air and Water Systems
"Chemical/Biological/Radiological (CBR) contamination events pose a considerable threat to our nation's infrastructure, especially in large internal facilities, external flows, and water distribution systems. Because physical security can only be enforced to a limited degree, deployment of early warning systems is being considered. However to achieve reliable and efficient functionality, several complex questions must be answered: 1) where should sensors be placed, 2) how can sparse sensor information be efficiently used to determine the location of the original intrusion, 3) what are the model and data uncertainties, 4) how should these uncertainties be handled, and 5) how can our algorithms and forward simulations be sufficiently improved to achieve real time performance? This report presents the results of a three year algorithmic and application development to support the identification, mitigation, and risk assessment of CBR contamination events. The main thrust of this investigation was to develop 1) computationally efficient algorithms for strategically placing sensors, 2) identification process of contamination events by using sparse observations, 3) characterization of uncertainty through developing accurate demands forecasts and through investigating uncertain simulation model parameters, 4) risk assessment capabilities, and 5) reduced order modeling methods. The development effort was focused on water distribution systems, large internal facilities, and outdoor areas."
Iraq Liquid Radioactive Waste Tanks Maintenance and Monitoring Program Plan
"The purpose of this report is to develop a project management plan for maintaining and monitoring liquid radioactive waste tanks at Iraq's Al-Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Center. Based on information from several sources, the Al-Tuwaitha site has approximately 30 waste tanks that contain varying amounts of liquid or sludge radioactive waste. All of the tanks have been non-operational for over 20 years and most have limited characterization. The program plan embodied in this document provides guidance on conducting radiological surveys, posting radiation control areas and controlling access, performing tank hazard assessments to remove debris and gain access, and conducting routine tank inspections. This program plan provides general advice on how to sample and characterize tank contents, and how to prioritize tanks for soil sampling and borehole monitoring."

Analysis of Sheltering and Evacuation Strategies for a Chicago Nuclear Detonation Scenario
"Development of an effective strategy for shelter and evacuation is among the most important planning tasks in preparation for response to a low yield, nuclear detonation in an urban area. Extensive studies have been performed and guidance published that highlight the key principles for saving lives following such an event. However, region-specific data are important in the planning process as well. This study examines some of the unique regional factors that impact planning for a 10 kt detonation in Chicago. The work utilizes a single scenario to examine regional impacts as well as the shelter-evacuate decision alternatives at selected exemplary points. For many Chicago neighborhoods, the excellent assessed shelter quality available make shelter-in-place or selective transit to a nearby shelter a compelling post-detonation strategy."
Scalable Systems Approach for Critical Infrastructure Security
"Critical infrastructures underpin the domestic security, health, safety and economic well being of the United States. They are large, widely dispersed, mostly privately owned systems operated under a mixture of federal, state and local government departments, laws and regulations. While there currently are enormous pressures to secure all aspects of all critical infrastructures immediately, budget realities limit available options. The purpose of this study is to provide a clear framework for systematically analyzing and prioritizing resources to most effectively secure US critical infrastructures from terrorist threats. It is a scalable framework (based on the interplay of consequences, threats and vulnerabilities) that can be applied at the highest national level, the component level of an individual infrastructure, or anywhere in between. This study also provides a set of key findings and a recommended approach for framework application. In addition, this study develops three laptop computer-based tools to assist with framework implementation-a Risk Assessment Credibility Tool, a Notional Risk Prioritization Tool, and a County Prioritization tool. This study's tools and insights are based on Sandia National Laboratories' many years of experience in risk, consequence, threat and vulnerability assessments, both in defense- and critical infrastructure-related areas."

Amazing!! Can't wait to make again .
very good! even my 10 year old liked it, though next time I think I'll saute it since I'm using a convection microwave in place of an oven and the constant air movement tends to dry the asperagus out. I used lemon pepper seasoning since I didn't have any lemons.
Really good! The lemon zest adds a ton of flavor!
I had it for a Sunday dinner and everyone loved them. But I added freshly grated Parmesan cheese to them.
Loved it. i will definitely be making these again.
Excellent! Will make this again!
super easy. i cook it in the oven along with chicken. they are both done at the same time. who would have known.. lemon zest!
Delicious! I added a bit of cumin and garlic for taste!
I would use less lemon zest next time but other than that it was great!
Super easy and delicious!! Used lemon juice instead of lemon zest as I didn't have any actual lemons handy. Still gave the perfect amount of lemon flavour.
I loved this! I squeezed some lemon juice in for some extra flavor. They turned out great.
These were so delicious! I used lime instead of lemon because it's what I had on hand, and added 1/2 the lime worth of juice to the asparagus before it cooked because I love citrus. I'll definitely make it this way again.
They're okay. There wasn't much lemon-y flavoring, but they still tasted good. They were tender. I'd recommend replacing diced garlic with garlic powder or garlic salt, but that depends on individual preferences.
We loved it! No modifications needed.
It seems like an easy nice light lunch. I love Asparagus and I like to cook good and quick! I'm sure it will be delightful!
Very good! Will make again!
Delicious. I took them out sooner because I like my asparagus Crunchy.
Added more garlic, 21 seasoning salute (Trader Joe's), and used Avocado Oil.
