Title Text: I keep first aid kits in those emergency lockers. Sure, it's expensive to have them installed in the wall, but at least for those ones there's no need to pay extra for safety glass.
The hammer release kit is a bit more of a challenge.
If the male mind truly were a machine it would consist of a shaft and a bushing.

The manual for the glass repair kit just says, "Buy a new one."

"This has been a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. This was only a test. If this had been an actual emergency, you would have heard a lot of screaming and hollering and carrying on."
(What's the deal with all these "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters, anyway? When I was growing up "carrying on" was the exact opposite of "keeping calm".)

Oh, those annoy me immensely, for at least two reasons.
Firstly, the original posters were created when people had really serious shit to worry about: being killed or having their homes destroyed by bombs that fell night after night; losing their loved ones in a faraway battlefield; having their entire way of life overturned by a successful Nazi invasion and occupation. Modern life is pretty stressful, granted, but really we need to get a grip, and associating our modern day woes with those existential threats feels to me somewhat offensive to people who managed to hold their heads up and get on with it. Not just get on with it, either; innovating, organising, planning for the future: I find it stunning when I read about the stuff people were daring to dream about in the dark days of WWII: from the post-war National Health Service to the founding of Oxfam. I doubt I'd have had the courage, I'd have been all "well the Nazis will be in power in a year or so's time, what's the point working on this stuff?"
Aside from that, the formula was stretched way beyond breaking point. I could just about accept something that was of the form "Keep calm and [two-word verb phrase in the imperative]", but when I started seeing things like "Keep calm it's your birthday" - well, that's about as clever as a turd. I'd always had the impression that approximately zero thought was going into those slogans, and that was borne out when it turned out that they were being generated by computer, with ultimately disastrous results such as the unforgettable "Keep calm and rape" and "Keep calm and hit her" T-shirts.

It's been done to the max here.
And, you young punk, when I was growing up, We were in Kansas, carrying on.

I'm feeling a bit dumb about the title text today. Is the joke that you have to break the glass with your hands, thus needing the first-aid kit?
Edit: I think maybe I get it. I usually think of those break glass things as holding fire hoses or extinguishers, but I guess sometimes it's first aid kits? So it's sort of a joke that you can pay for an expensive locker instead and not have to buy safety glass?

No, the joke is that if the thing behind the glass is a first aid kit, you can use regular glass instead of safety glass, because if you get hurt when you break the glass, hey, you've got a first aid kit.

That's kind of what I was thinking at first, but then I googled emergency locker, and, as far as I can tell, emergency lockers are big metal things with no glass involved.

Gotta say I have a somewhat mixed feeling about this line of logic. Ideally, comparing your seemingly smaller-scale struggles to larger, iconic ones is exactly what you do - that's the idea of "heroes", and much of the function of venerating historical figures. At the same time, the posters making reference to the slogan are universally tongue-in-cheek, and in some sense really are meant to trivialize both your problems and the ones being referred to. Finally, I'm USian, and the USian version of respecting the people who survived WWII, the "greatest generation" meme, is universally bullshit and makes any other WWII-related veneration smell funny to me, too.
Really, though, I don't think it has much to do with any of the actual people who were alive for WWII. It clearly has obliterated the meaning of the phrase, which is a symbol of national pride. In most cases, I tend to support obliterating the meaning of symbols of national pride. I can't help associating them with national pride, which has been notably the cause of a couple of really notable global conflicts.

I think the reason the Keep Calm posters took off is that the original is very British and epitomises the stiff-upper-lip stereotype. National pride is not always a bad thing - it may have fueled wars, but it's also inspired people to excel. Pride gets a bad rep as one of the seven, but it continues to exist because it provides a survival advantage.
Postby orthogon » Tue Jan 26, 2016 6:15 pm UTC
I can see CB's point, and I think my second cause of annoyance is probably the main one, that the whole gag was barely borderline amusing to begin with and the joke wore thin after about ten variants. Of course it's OK to use extreme examples as a metaphor for an undesirable but non-life-threatening situation: you can be "under fire", a meeting can be a "battlefield" and an attempted build yielding hundreds of compile errors could be "carnage". So by extension it should be OK to repurpose these posters as moral support for people faced with such situations. The worst offenders are those that lazily attempt to apply it to an inappropriate situation like a birthday.
I profoundly hope that the " greatest generation " concept is indeed BS: i.e. that any generation would have risen to the challenge; I also hope I don't have to find out whether I'm right. Similarly I don't see it necessarily as a point of national pride particularly: ordinary people all over Europe, on both sides, were called upon to tolerate the same and worse horrors. It's just easier to spin that stoicism into a patriotic narrative for those on the winning side.
I think what amazes me most is the human ability to adjust to and normalise the most extreme situations, and conversely to dramatise the most trivial. Someone once pointed out to me that if aliens landed, it would seem totally normal after a month or so. In fact the really exceptional people are those who refuse to recalibrate their moral yardstick, and say no, this will not stand.

Gareth Bale hailed his move to Real Madrid as a 'dream come true' as he was officially unveiled in front of 20,000 fans at the Santiago Bernabeu on Monday. He has already targeted winning the Champions League this season as his main goal.
Bale's prolonged transfer from Tottenham Hotspur was finally completed on Sunday evening with reports in England suggesting the Welshman had become the most expensive player of all time at 101 million euros ($133.5 million, £86 million).

I'm currently running a PlantSimulation model from a C# code I wrote, using the COM Interface.
When an unexpected SimTalk error happens, PlantSimulation shows a pop-up asking if I wish to stop the simulation. Is there anyway to disable this pop-up and make it send a message to my COM Interface instead?
Haven't tested it myself, but maybe adding an ErrorHandler to your model will work?
You can use the method SetNoMessageBox of the COM interface to turn off message boxes.
Then, as verbalins suggested use an error handler in Plant Simulation to catch errors. You can then communicate back the message using the SimTalk function fireSimTalk Message.
This message can be received in your C# program by implementing an event handler. You will receive the message by a call to the method SimTalkMessage of the event handler.
Thanks for the quick answer! I think this will work.
I'm running PlantSimulation 13.1 and there is no method SetNoMessageBox of the COM interface. Is this something new?
It's not documented yet, but you should be able to use it anyway. It's expecting a boolean parameter. Pass true to turn off message boxes.


"Hi my husband has a high Creatinine 9. Is there other treatment because we don't want to undergo Dialysis. He has hypertension, fatigue and anemia." Do you have the similar problem? Follow us to find the answer.

Dialysis is widely used replacement therapy, which is commonly suggested to patients when their creatinine level reaches 5.0mg/dl. And we have to admit that dialysis is the fastest way to purify the blood and maintain life expectancy of patients who have high-risk factors for life. However, it is far from perfect which has numerous limitations.
On the one hand, it is halfway and incomplete method rather than treating Kidney Failure with high creatinine level 9 from the root causes. On the other hand, it has a mass of side effects, which speeds up the progression towards further deterioration.
As a matter of fact, the innovated traditional Chinese Medicines can relieve some side effects of dialysis and may help patient avoid dialysis through repairing kidney lesion and improving kidney function.
Systematic Toxin-Removing Treatment is the characteristic treatment of Beijing Tongshantang Hospital of TCM. Among the treatments, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, as one of the most well-known innovation of traditional Chinese herb medicine, is used widely in treating Kidney Disease. By anti-thrombosis, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and enlarge blood vessels, this kind of therapy can repair the damaged kidney tissues and protect the remaining ones from further damage. With the kidney function improved, high creatinine level 9 can be reduced naturally and the patient can live better without dialysis.
If you want to know more details about alternative of dialysis for high creatinine, please leave a message in the below form or email medical reports and phone number to us. We can provide personalized treatment plan for you.

Senate committee to soon vote on FEC nominees

FEC nominees win Rules Committee endorsement
By Dave Levinthal
The Senate Rules and Administration Committee will soon schedule an early September vote on two Federal Election Commission nominees, two sources close to the nomination process tell the Center for Public Integrity.
Such a vote means the full Senate could consider — and potentially approve — the nominations of Republican Lee E. Goodman, an attorney at law firm LeClairRyan, and Democrat Ann Ravel, chairwoman of the California Fair Political Practices Commission, within weeks.
As of Friday evening, the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, of which Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is chairman, had not published an official notice of the vote.
(Update, Aug. 26, 2013, 3:39 p.m.: The committee today officially scheduled an "executive business meeting" to consider the nominations of Ravel and Goodman for 10 a.m. Sept. 10 at the Russell Senate Office Building.)
The Senate Rules and Administration Committee conducted a largely uneventful confirmation hearing for Ravel and Goodman in July.
At the time, committee members offered no indications that they'd oppose either nominee, with some even posing for photos with Goodman and Ravel after the hearing's conclusion.
President Barack Obama nominated the pair on June 21, marking the first time in four years that he had sought to appoint someone to the FEC.
Obama's only other nominee, labor lawyer John Sullivan, withdrew from consideration in 2010 after the full Senate failed to conduct a vote on his nomination.
The FEC's five active commissioners are serving in "holdover status" despite each of their six-year terms having expired.
Goodman is slated to replace Vice Chairman Don McGahn, a Republican appointee whose term expired in 2009.
Ravel is due to replace a sixth commissioner, Democratic appointee Cynthia Bauerly, who resigned in February to become deputy director of workforce development at Minnesota's Department of Employment and Economic Development.

Traditionally Twinspot Emergency Light fittings have provided emergency lighting coverage over a wide area using halogen bulbs mounted onto of the emergency light fitting. There is now LED Twinspot fittings available that still give emergency light coverage over a wide area, yet they now use LED type twinspots to provide the light source. The LED Emergency Lighting Twinspots on offer from The Safety Centre can provide upto 50,000 hours running LED life which is a dramatic improvement over the expected lifespan of a traditional halogen twinspot fitting.
