Driver at second cruise ship pier site escapes death when excavator topples into the sea
On Jun 14, 2018 Last updated Jun 15, 2018
Photo of excavator submerged in the water off Port Zante
Basseterre, St. Kitts, June 14, 2018 – An operator of an excavator miraculously escaped death during an incident at the construction site of the controversial second cruise ship pier at Port Zante.
According to credible reports, an excavator toppled into the sea on June 8th when it lifted one of the huge boulders that protect the bulkhead at Port Zante.
The source said the driver who was trapped under water kicked out the glass section of the excavator to avoid drowning.
The incident happened last Friday, June 8, and the excavator remains submerged one week later on June 14. Work has since ground to a halt. Construction began earlier this month.
In keeping with the government's policy of suppressing information, there has been no report of the incident from the contractors, the St. Christopher Air and Sea Ports Authority (SCASPA), the Minister of Infrastructure, Hon. Ian Patches Liburd, the Minister of Tourism, Hon. Lindsay Grant, the Minister of Labour, Hon. Vance Amory and the St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force.
Scheduled to cost EC$86.4 million under the then governing St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party administration, the cost of the cruise ship pier ballooned to a whopping EC$129.6 million price tag – EC$43.2 million more under the Timothy Harris-led Team Unity Government.
SCASPA has secured a EC$91.8 million loan from National Bank to finance the second cruise ship pier. The St. Kitts and Nevis Social Security Board is putting in EC$18.9 million, the St. Kitts and Nevis Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation (SIDF), EC$13.5 million and the St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla Trading and Development Company (TDC), EC$5.4 million.

Inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase attenuates interleukin-1beta-induced thermal hyperalgesia and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression in the spinal cord.
J Neurochem. 2005 Aug; 94(3):742-52.JN
We have reported recently that intrathecal (i.t.) injection of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), at a dose of 100 ng, induces inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and nitric oxide (NO) production in the spinal cord and results in thermal hyperalgesia in rats. This study further examines the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in i.t. IL-1beta-mediated iNOS-NO cascade in spinal nociceptive signal transduction. All rats were implanted with an i.t. catheter either with or without an additional microdialysis probe. Paw withdrawal latency to radiant heat is used to assess thermal hyperalgesia. The iNOS and MAPK protein expression in the spinal cord dorsal horn were examined by western blot. The [NO] in CSF dialysates were also measured. Intrathecal IL-1beta leads to a time-dependent up-regulation of phosphorylated p38 (p-p38) MAPK protein expression in the spinal cord 30-240 min following IL-1beta injection (i.t.). However, neither the phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK) nor phosphorylated c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (p-JNK) was affected. The total amount of p38, ERK, and JNK MAPK proteins were not affected following IL-1beta injection. Intrathecal administration of either selective p38 MAPK, or JNK, or ERK inhibitor alone did not affect the thermal nociceptive threshold or iNOS protein expression in the spinal cord. However, pretreatment with a p38 MAPK inhibitor significantly reduced the IL-1beta-induced p-p38 MAPK expression by 38-49%, and nearly completely blocked the subsequent iNOS expression (reduction by 86.6%), NO production, and thermal hyperalgesia. In contrast, both ERK and JNK inhibitor pretreatments only partially (approximately 50%) inhibited the IL-1beta-induced iNOS expression in the spinal cord. Our results suggest that p38 MAPK plays a pivotal role in i.t. IL-1beta-induced spinal sensitization and nociceptive signal transduction.

How to Calculate Inflation Rate for $520,000, 1910 to 2021
Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 1910 and 2021:
CPI in 2021 CPI in 1910
1910 USD value
Then plug in historical CPI values. The U.S. CPI was 9.5 in the year 1910 and 270.97016666667 in 2021:
270.970166666679.5
$520,000 in 1910 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $14,832,051.23 in 2021.
To get the total inflation rate for the 111 years between 1910 and 2021, we use the following formula:
CPI in 2021 - CPI in 1910CPI in 1910
Cumulative inflation rate (111 years)
Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
270.97016666667 - 9.59.5
2,752%
The average inflation rate of 3.06% has a compounding effect between 1910 and 2021. As noted above, this yearly inflation rate compounds to produce an overall price difference of 2,752.32% over 111 years.
To help put this inflation into perspective, if we had invested $520,000 in the S&P 500 index in 1910, our investment would be nominally worth approximately $22,414,426,005.49 in 2021. This is a return on investment of 4,310,366.54%, with an absolute return of $22,413,906,005.49 on top of the original $520,000.
These numbers are not inflation adjusted, so they are considered nominal. In order to evaluate the real return on our investment, we must calculate the return with inflation taken into account.
The compounding effect of inflation would account for 96.49% of returns ($21,628,593,935.22) during this period. This means the inflation-adjusted real return of our $520,000 investment is $785,312,070.27. You may also want to account for capital gains tax, which would take your real return down to around $667,515,260 for most people.
Investment in S&P 500 Index, 1910-2021
Original Amount
Final Amount
Nominal $520,000 $22,414,426,005.49 4,310,366.54%
Inflation Adjusted $520,000 $785,832,070.27 151,021.55%
Information displayed above may differ slightly from other S&P 500 calculators. Minor discrepancies can occur because we use the latest CPI data for inflation, annualized inflation numbers for previous years, and we compute S&P price and dividends from January of 1910 to latest available data for 2021 using average monthly close price.

The effects of pressure on doped Kondo insulators are studied in the framew ork of slave-boson mean-field theory under the coherent potential approxima tion. A unified picture is presented for both the h-type Kondo insulators ( SmB6 and YbB12) and the e-type Kondo insulators (Ce3Bi4Pt3).

Advice on planning a funeral
Funeral Finance
Claiming Funeral Costs in Fatal Accidents
It can be very difficult to cope when a person dies in unexpected circumstances. It can be even harder to have to think about necessary tasks like arranging and financing their funeral. Everybody deserves a proper funeral, but it can be particularly hard to know how to pay for this if the deceased was the main breadwinner in the family. However, it may be possible to sue for the funeral costs if the deceased died because of an accident or incident which was not entirely their fault. Claiming costs back from the parties who were liable for the death can help to relieve some of the financial burdens of paying for a funeral.
It is not unusual for a family to launch a compensation claim after their loved one has been killed in a fatal accident. Compensation claims are designed to cover families for any expenses that they have experienced as a result of an accident or incident which was not the fault of their loved one. These compensation claims normally cover a variety of different aspects, from cover for medical costs, through to compensation for loss of relationships. One of the aspects that it is normally possible to make a claim for is the cost of the funeral. The claimants should be able to argue that they would not have needed to cover these costs at that time if it had not been for the fatal accident or negligence.
Why should people be allowed to claim for funeral costs?
The average funeral in the United Kingdom is estimated to cost around £9,000. Even the simplest funeral and cremation packages can cost around £3000. It can be difficult for families to contemplate covering these costs when they have just lost a loved one. Paying for a funeral can leave families in debt if there is no money available from the estate of the deceased. It is only fair that families should be able to claim these costs back if they have had to hold a funeral for a loved one who was killed because of third party negligence.
Are funeral expenses always covered?
In the vast majority of case that reach court in the United Kingdom, the judge will be prepared to award funeral costs to the claimant. However, funeral costs are not always guaranteed in successful cases. There is precedent of a judge ruling in favour of the defendant in an otherwise successful claim, because the defendant's actions did not bring the deceased's death forward by a significant margin. Although some other costs were awarded, the judge did not award funeral costs to the claimant. A defendant may therefore be able to argue that funeral costs should not be awarded if the deceased was expected to die soon anyway. However, many lawyers do not believe that this ruling was fair and they will be prepared to produce strong cases to support the need for funeral costs to be awarded.
Do funeral cost claims always go to court?
The good news is that these types of claims do not always end up going to court. However, an independent investigation into the death may end up in a court room setting. The outcome of this investigation can be used as evidence in the claim.
When a claim is launched, the lawyer or solicitor will approach the defendant to alert them to the existence of a claim. In most cases, the claim will then be handled by the defendant's insurance company. If the claim is very clear cut, the defendant's insurance company will agree to pay the full value of the claim without delay. They may also try to negotiate a lower settlement based on the evidence that is available. The case should only go to court if both parties cannot agree on an acceptable settlement.
How to raise a claim which includes funeral costs
Funeral cost claims are normally launched as part of a wider claim, rather than being launched independently. If your loved one has been involved in a fatal accident or an incident that resulted in their death, you may be able to launch a larger claim for compensation. If it can be shown that the accident was not entirely their fault, then a claim can be made against the negligent party.
A lawyer or solicitor should be able to listen to the details of the incident and advise about whether a claim may be possible. They should also be able to give an estimated value of how much compensation for a death you might receive based on the details you provide. You can ask your lawyer or solicitor if their estimated claims value includes funeral costs. Most claims are launched after the funeral has taken place. Keep all of the paperwork from the funeral to provide evidence of how much the funeral cost in total.

and create a section in /boot/grub/menu.lst pointing to the /boot/initrd-*.orig file.
A long awaited feature of the openSUSE update stack is finally here!
Oh, and did I mention that we have over 160 packages with a 2-3 letter name? The one mentioned in the title is a programming language, btw.
Not every commit to the kernel-source repository results in a change in the kernel repository. For instance updating config files in the kernel-source repository results in a commit that has no text changes. The gitorious viewer is confused by this and tells you that you are viewing the initial commit. In a local clone, you can exclude such commits with 'git log .' (note the dot).
When the patch series does not apply, there isn't much to show in the kernel repository. In such case, the commit only adds a 'BROKEN' file to the toplevel directory and uses the tree from the previous commit. When using a bisect script, you can skip such commits with e.g. 'test -e BROKEN && exit 125'.
When patches such as xen are temporarily disabled while updating to newer upstream versions and later enabled, it generates huge diffs back and forth. That's usually not a problem unless you are bisecting something xen-related.
Anyway, I'm sure this will be useful for anyone who needs to debug something in the openSUSE kernel.
One of this year's Google Summer of Code projects is a an Eclipse plugin to access the Build Service, developed by Long Hong from Beijing. If you are interested, read on.
To shutdown, just replace Reboot with Shutdown. I'm going to add this to the default icewm configuration, so that the logout menu finally works.
Recently, I wanted to show how the buildservice makes packaging easier by creating a specfile template for you (just click the "Create RPM SPEC file templat" checkbox when creating a new package). Unfortunatelly, the template it creates is not really useful for someone not skilled in writing spec files. Also, it's just a static template, so you have to write the summary and description even though you have just entered both in the web form. Definitely nothing to show off to newbies ;-). But knowing that the buildservice developers have more important stuff to do, and wanting to learn something new, I decided give it a try and fix it myself.
My idea is: The buildservice api asks a set of questions, which are presented by the client (webclient, osc, …) to the user, and creates a specfile based on these questions. Also, the api tries to suggest good defaults where possible. After spending some time learning ruby, rails and the api code, I have an ugly 200 line patch to the api that generates a working specfile for GNU hello ;-).
The user interface part is not yet done, but should be easy. What's more chalenging is adding heuristics to "do the right thing": detecting the build system (autotools, cmake, Makefile.PL, etc), detecting build dependencies, and so on. Right now, it only extracts the version number from the tar name.


Discussion in 'RGB Lights - Intelligent Pixels and 3-Channel RGB' started by Donny M. Carter, Feb 26, 2012.
Hello all, is it possible to test my new nodes from Ray without having a controller. Meaning, should I be able to hook up the + & - and get lights or does it also need data and clock? Thanks!
Intelligent pixels need data (and clock if they use it) to do anything.
If you power them up with just + and - , you *may* get some random lighting of the nodes, or.... you may get nothing.
Thanks David! I forgot to order a test controller from Ray until my E681's come in!


We're rather obsessed with summer at TWE at the moment. English memories are short, and each year the warm summer surprises us, with gasps all around as we realise that for a few weeks we won't need jumpers and umbrellas. So, during this brief respite from our usual, more active weather, we're jumping on the long-drink bandwagon, and trying as many summery beverages as we can. Today's candidate for examination: Aperol.
When it comes to brightly coloured Italian bitters, Campari has had the market sewn up for years. However, all is not as it once was in bittersland, with relative newcomer Aperol now appearing on a surprising number of shelves, from bars to drinks shops, and taking the summer drink market by storm.
Lower in strength and less bitter than Campari, Aperol is the ideal substitute for the more modern palate – in general we like sweeter things than we used to. The traditional serve for Aperol is in one of our favourite summery drinks, the Spritz.
As they say in the video: fill a large wine glass with ice, pour in the prosecco and Aperol, blast with a quick squirt of soda water and garnish with a slice of orange.
Some people swap out the Prosecco for still wine and others mess around with the proportions. It's worth playing around with to get something that fits your taste perfectly – in Italy, every bar has its own recipe.
You can find Aperol over on our website – at the time of writing, it comes with a big wine glass, just the right size for making a Spritz.
Aperol is a low-strength aperitif made since 1919 to a secret recipe including both rhubarb and orange along with a wide assortment of herbs and roots. Immensely popular in Italy, its home country.

Magnify Summer 2021Faster, Stronger, and Bigger Than Ever BeforeARUP Invests in Automation
ARUP Laboratories had a vision: to develop the industry's most advanced automated laboratory, something truly innovative that would cut costs while reducing client turnaround times (TATs) and testing errors. This vision kicked off a decade-long process to create the industry standard for total lab automation.
"With increasing cost pressures in the healthcare landscape, it is imperative that we offer high-quality and cost-effective care to our patients and clients," said Joseph Rudolf, MD, medical director of the Automated Core Laboratory at ARUP. This core lab offers more than 200 different assays (endocrine, general chemistry, tumor marker, and drug testing assays). "As you do something by hand, whether you touch a sample or put keystrokes into a keyboard, you introduce inefficiencies and opportunities for errors that could propagate and harm patients."
Once complete, the innovations to ARUP's Automated Core Lab will help improve overall quality and productivity, with fewer human touches per specimen, decreased TAT, and reduced potential for lost specimens. The laboratory is expected to be fully functional next year.
While already boasting an impressive level of automation, the core lab's preanalytic requirements still require some human involvement. This manual approach carries with it the potential for human error: lost specimens or other mistakes.
"We eliminated the need for most of our preanalytic touches. We went from 26 touches per specimen to eight," said Ryan Greer, group manager of ARUP's Chemistry Group III, of the new automated system.
Manually transporting specimens across touch points adds to each assay's TAT. Tackling the task of specimen processing with the precision of mechanization is expected to decrease the core lab's overall average TAT from nine hours to four (a 44% improvement).
"If you're a physician or a patient in the farthest place in America from us, and the physician orders endocrine testing on a Monday evening when they're doing rounds, our goal is when that physician comes back to see their patients on rounds in the morning, the results will be there, which would be just as good as if they ordered it from their lab two floors below in the same hospital," Greer said.
ARUP's Automated Core Lab is fed specimens for testing by a sophisticated automation and conveyance system that will help boost efficiency and further improve test turnaround times.
Optimizing Resources Through Automation
In addition to reducing errors by reducing the number of human touches, full automation in the core lab will enable ARUP to optimize the available workforce.
Enhancing lab productivity via automation is a necessity to keep up with test demand without having to search for new staff from an ever-diminishing talent pool.
"The number of medical laboratory scientist training programs that exist around the country is shrinking by the year," Rudolf said. "We're increasingly needing to perform a greater number of tests with fewer numbers of people in the field."
The Automated Core Lab is built to optimize ARUP's resources, combining the benefits of the advanced equipment and the efforts of the workforce to increase units per full-time employee from 3,223 to 3,986. Furthermore, the advanced automation system enables the lab to process more specimen types than before. These increases in efficiency will allow ARUP's Automated Core Lab to grow by 30% over the next 10 years without having to search for new medical laboratory scientists.
Further Boosting Reliability to Improve Care
ARUP's goal for the new lab is to improve the current sigma score of 4.8 within three years of the lab's launch date. Total automation helps ARUP improve its Six Sigma score not only by avoiding errors; the standardized workflow also assists the staff in easily identifying the cause of any mistake that may occur.
ARUP's sort-to-light system enables employees to distribute specimens quickly and efficiently. They scan a bar code on each specimen to prompt the compartment where the specimen should be placed to light up.
A Decade in the Making
Over the past decade, Greer has worked to take a fully automated laboratory from ideation to actualization. Patience was a requirement because multiple vendors were represented in the core lab, each under contract to provide equipment for its own dedicated tests. Because the contracts came due at different dates, Ryan found that ARUP needed leverage during negotiations with vendors that only offered lower prices in return for added representation in the lab—an impossibility, due to the exclusive nature of agreements with other vendors.
"From 2012 till now, our goal was to really align all of our vendors [so that] our contracts came due at the same time," Greer said. "We were then able to pursue vendor proposals simultaneously and select from the more competitive ones."
Total automation requires an agnostic track vendor, one that offers a track compatible with components offered by every other vendor. While the search did not result in a fully agnostic vendor, it did deliver one that fits the majority of needs. Now the core lab can load any test in the ARUP standard tube, directly onto the track, and watch as it is centrifuged, decapped, and sorted into vendor-specific racks via the new automation system.
Instrumentation that is part of ARUP's sophisticated automation and conveyance system sorts specimens so they can be directed to the proper labs for testing.
New Automation Opportunities
In the coming years, as the automation becomes more sophisticated, Greer believes that it will be used more and more. "If there's a test throughout the organization that can be run on this automation, it benefits all of ARUP to move it there," he said. Automation is advantageous to both ARUP and its clients, but more importantly, it promises to increase the quality of patient care substantially, making the Automated Core Lab an invaluable investment that will deliver greater returns than just monetary gains.

Sterlite – here's proof: The data on how the smelter is likely cause for water pollution
From court-ordered reports, studies by the TNPCB, Central Pollution Control Board and NGOs, every assessment found evidence of water contamination.
Nityanand Jayaraman Follow @NityJayaraman
Thursday, April 05, 2018 - 12:33
On 3 April, 2018, villagers in Kumareddiapuram thwarted attempts by Thoothukudi district officials to dismantle the public handpumps that were yielding yellow-coloured water reportedly contaminated by Sterlite's copper smelter. The hamlet, which is located within the Therku Veerapandiapuram revenue village, less than 500 metres from the copper smelter complex, is one of several that has complained of groundwater contamination due to Sterlite's operations.
Complaints about groundwater contamination began within a year after Sterlite began production in Thoothukudi. Evidence of contamination also started emerging around the same time. However, while evidence has mounted, no remedial actions have been taken, forcing villagers in the vicinity of the factory to abandon groundwater and rely on expensive bottled water for drinking. Exposure to the contaminants in the groundwater continues as it is used for washing and bathing.
Groundwater contamination is not easy to clean. In places like Bhopal, contamination arising out of Union Carbide's operations prior to 1984 persist in the groundwater to this day, harming the health of those exposed to it.
Every study found pollution
From court-ordered reports, studies by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board, Central Pollution Control Board and NGOs, every study found evidence of water contamination. There is no dearth of evidence of the contamination of groundwater. There is only a dearth of action on the evidence. If there is no evidence in more recent years, that is because TNPCB – the only agency that does routine monitoring – does not publish or share the results voluntarily.
'NEERI, 1998 Study: Within two years of commissioning the Sterlite plant', the first court-ordered study to probe the complaints of pollution, was submitted to the Madras High Court. The 1998 report by National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) was also its most damning.
Referring to Sterlite's effluent treatment plant (ETP) as inefficient, NEERI found that the ETP was unable to treat the effluent to the standards stipulated by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board. NEERI reported that the levels of arsenic, selenium and lead in treated effluent were higher than prescribed standards. The NEERI inspection team found three dead birds in the surge pond when they visited there on 1 November, 1998, apparently due to the consumption of water contaminated with heavy metals.
Sterlite tried to downplay the failure of its ETP saying the treated water was being "recycled" for cooling the hot slag that comes out as waste from the furnaces. However, NEERI dismissed these arguments observing that the process of cooling the slag by spraying leads to emissions of aerosols containing arsenic, selenium and lead, which can cause health hazards to workers and people living in the vicinity.
NEERI's analysis of water samples from "all eight borewells and two dugwells revealed that none of the waters in these wells were potable as total dissolved solids, As and Al levels in all the wells and total hardness, sulphates (as SO4), Se [Selenium], Pb [lead], Cd [Cadmium], Mg [Magnesium] and Cu [copper] in some wells exceed. . .standards."
At that time, Sterlite was producing 40,000 tonnes per annum, 10 times less than what it is producing today.
NEERI's advise in 1998, before it was enlisted as a consultant by Sterlite, was prescient. It said, "Given this status of water quality, the TNPCB must exercise care in permitting the establishment of any new water intensive industry and/or expansion program."
Then between 1999 and 2007, NEERI received Rs 1.27 crore worth of contracts for various studies, all of which uniformly defended Sterlite's operations and underplayed its impact.
NEERI, environmental audit of Sterlite for TNPCB, 2005
NEERI's audit found problems. Treated effluent exceeded limits stipulated by TNPCB for Total Dissolved Solids and Sulphates. The test borewells around the secured landfill and gypsum dump inside the factory had high mineral contents, suggesting leakage from the facilities. Arsenic levels were above the stipulated drinking water standard of 0.05 mg/litre in some of the wells, and cadmium, chromium, copper and lead too were in excess of drinking water standards in some wells.
Outside the factory, NEERI took 8 groundwater samples, 7 from handpumps and one from a dugwell. The samples from a handpump and dugwell from Kayaloorani, a village 2-km northwest of the factory were the most polluted – with cadmium at 2 to 5 times higher than safe levels, chromium 2 to 3 times higher, copper 5 to 9 times higher, lead 3 to 4 times higher and arsenic 4 times higher than permissible levels.
Contaminants in the handpump water from Therku Veerapandiapuram exceeded permissible levels for chromium, copper, lead and zinc. Copper and zinc in Meelavittan handpump water, and copper in Silverpuram handpump water exceeded permissible levels.
This was the only study that analysed soil samples for the presence of heavy metals. Arsenic levels in the three samples taken ranged from 132.5 milligram/kilogram to 286.5 mg/kg. The highest level was found in soil collected from 300 metres west of the Sterlite plant boundary, in the agricultural lands near Kumareddiapuram – the site of the ongoing protest.
Soils containing more than 50 mg/kg of arsenic are to be treated as hazardous wastes under the Indian Hazardous Waste Rules, 2008.
NGO study, 2010
Community Environmental Monitoring, an NGO program advised by this author, undertook a sampling exercise in October 2010.
A water sample from an open well collected from a farm in Kumareddiapuram near Sterlite's slag dump was found to be "completely unsuitable for use in irrigation" because of the high levels of salinity. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation, salinity levels above 2000 mg/litre can cause severe damage to crops. The water in the open well had a salinity level of 7854 mg/litre – nearly four times the level at which severe crop damage can occur.
Another sample of water from a handpump in Therku Veerapandiapuram contained sulphate levels nearly 10-times above levels that can cause serious stomach disorders, including severe aches. The well water and the handpump sample contained high levels of calcium – an integral component of gypsum, also known as Calcium Sulphate dihydrate. Sterlite generates and dumps large quantities of gypsum in the vicinity.
A soil sample collected from the backyard of a residence in Therku Veerapandiapuram village contained 3,35,602 mg/kg of iron. At such levels, accidental ingestion of just 3.5 grams can cause serious poisoning in a child. Consuming larger quantities can be lethal. Symptoms of iron poisoning range from abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and damage to the intestine. Other effects include heart, liver and central nervous system damage. The owner of the residence said the soil in the backyard was brought from near the Sterlite factory to raise the level of the land.
There can be many sources of iron in the environment. However, Sterlite uses copper concentrate as raw material, and iron is present at roughly the same proportion as copper in the concentrate. Iron-bearing wastes are the likely to be the single largest solid waste category generated by weight.
Arsenic levels at the same location were 532 mg/kg. Soils containing more than 50 mg/kg are to be treated as hazardous waste under Indian law. Inorganic arsenic is carcinogenic in humans, most commonly producing skin, bladder and lung cancers through inhalation and ingestion.
Cadmium, which causes lung cancer and is toxic to kidney and bones, was ten times above average background levels in the backyard soil sample, while nickel, which causes skin allergies and bronchitis, was also found at elevated levels.
Prompted by villager's complaints that goats and cattle routinely fall sick, and sometimes die after consuming water from the canal running through Sterlite, a sediment sample was collected from the Kalangarai Odai (stream). The stream runs through Sterlite and drains the gypsum dump before entering Meelavittan. The sediment sample contained 28,643 mg/kg of iron – 477 times above levels that can cause serious health effects. Arsenic levels were nearly 8 times higher than levels considered safe by the New Jersey Department of Environment. Cadmium was 26.5 times above levels considered safe, and copper, lead, nickel and zinc were also elevated.
According to Dr. Mark Chernaik, a toxicologist with E-LAW (Environmental Lawyers Alliance Worldwide) of which the author is a member, "It would only take a goat to ingest 73 grams of this sediment to develop serious clinical symptoms of iron poisoning." Animal husbandry in Meelavittan, a village well-known for rearing goats and cows and cultivating fodder, is non-existent. Villagers say this is because cattle fall sick frequently and die prematurely due to pollution from Sterlite.
NEERI submission to Supreme Court, 2011
NEERI took samples from 12 wells inside the factory. All 12 samples were contaminated, and had higher than permissible levels of dissolved solids. Nine samples violated the limits for sulphates and iron content, and five exceeded the permissible fluoride levels.
According to the World Health Organisation, "Chronic high-level exposure to fluoride can lead to skeletal fluorosis. In skeletal fluorosis, fluoride accumulates in the bone progressively over many years. The early symptoms of skeletal fluorosis, include stiffness and pain in the joints. In severe cases, the bone structure may change and ligaments may calcify, with resulting impairment of muscles and pain. Acute high-level exposure to fluoride causes immediate effects of abdominal pain, excessive saliva, nausea and vomiting. Seizures and muscle spasms may also occur."
This study found groundwater samples taken from outside the factory to also be contaminated. Four out of 7 samples exceed standards for sulphates, calcium and magnesium. All three samples taken from Therku Veerapandiapuram, the village closest to the factory had high levels of iron – between 0.712 mg/litre and 10.16 mg/litre.
Academic studies concur
A May 2017 study of heavy metal pollution in SIPCOT Thoothukudi is quite revealing.
The study found that "A comparison of the results of groundwater samples with WHO guidelines reveals that most of the groundwater samples are heavily contaminated with heavy metals like arsenic, selenium, lead, boron, aluminium, iron and vanadium. The selenium level was hig 0.01 mg/l in 82 % of the study area and the arsenic concentration exceeded 0.01 mg/l in 42 % of the area. The results reveal that heavy metal contamination in the area is mainly due to the discharge of effluents from copper industries, alkali chemical industry, fertiliser industry, thermal power plant and sea food industries."
Thoothukudi is a water-stressed district. Industrial activities have worsened the stress by contaminating water sources. Several studies identify the industries located within and around the SIPCOT Industrial Estate in Meelavittan area as the source of pollution. However, not only are no steps being taken to curb and reverse pollution, the Government of Tamil Nadu plans to intensify industrialisation in the district.

~ This poem was previously published in North American Review (2010).
The acquaintance, a poet, did come by that afternoon.
Her apparent role was to discover the bodies.
a pair of kitchen knives.
below a tall silk hat.
to fill the darkened hall.
he's not a trick of light.
an alarm begins to wail.
Is this a rehearsal? Is it a dream?
It's a woman standing there.
Is this the last illusion?
These two poems, a lyric and a dream narrative, revisit an experience I tried for years to escape rather than explore. In 2003, I was first on the scene of a murder-suicide. If I'd arrived at the site by chance, it would have been hard enough to get past what I saw—but I'd been summoned there.
That summer morning, once I'd gone to work, a new friend left a message on my answering machine at home. She asked me to come over and let myself into the house where she was staying with her two-year-old son. She said she knew I had a key (she was house-sitting for close friends of mine) and that she was "having a bit of an emergency." When I retrieved the message in the afternoon, I called her number several times—no answer. Puzzled and increasingly concerned, I drove to the house.
Her car with its baby seat was parked out front. I ran up the steps, rang the bell and knocked. I called at the windows. Then, I let myself in.
It took seconds to see and days to believe what had happened. At first I thought a murderer had been there, that some maniac had broken in and done this. But then—why was the door locked, the alarm set and wailing? Why had she called and asked me to come?
In the aftermath of the event, people said and wrote (referring to the child's death) that she couldn't bear to leave her boy behind, and so "she took him with her." How were they imagining the scene?
I'm not sure what insight poetry can offer in the face of such a loss, but it mattered to me—it matters to me—to expose that one well-meaning lie. These poems ask: Where did she take him? How did she make him disappear?
