Abstract: Denne afhandling indeholder en retsdogmatisk analyse af beskatning af derivater efter gældende dansk ret. Derivater er finansielle instrumenter, hvis værdi direkte afhænger af værdien af en eller flere underliggende aktiver. De mest kendte derivater er futures, forwardkontrakter, optioner og swaps. Derivater handles flittigt på det finansielle marked og anvendes til at hedge uønskede risici, spekulere i fremtidige markedspriser og udnytte eventuelle arbitrage muligheder. Begrebet derivater anvendes ikke i dansk skatteret. Generelt er kontrakter, der betegnes som forwardkontrakter (terminer) og optioner (aftaler om køberetter og salgsretter) omfattet af det skatteretlige begreb finansielle kontrakter. Beskatningen af finansielle kontrakter er særskilt reguleret i Kursgevinstloven og en analyse af reglernes anvendelsesområde udgør den primære del af afhandlingen. I analysen af den skatteretlige behandling af derivater analyseres to grundlæggende problemstillinger; kvalifikation og behandling. Kvalifikationen af instrumenterne og det tilhørende afkast er essentiel, eftersom den samlede skattepligtige indkomst og formue inddeles i flere indkomsttyper, som kan underlægges en differentieret skatteretlig behandling. Kvalifikationen af finansielle instrumenter følger af KGL §§ 29 og 30. Herefter er terminskontrakter, købe- og salgsretter samt strukturerede fordringer omfattet af begrebet finansielle kontrakter og derfor de særlige regler om generel lagerbeskatning. Det følger af forarbejderne, at reglerne ligeledes finder anvendelse for finansielle kontrakter, der indgår som et delelement i en samlet aftale. I den forbindelse er det vurderet hvorvidt og i givet fald hvornår, finansielle instrumenter skal kvalificeres som ét samlet instrument eller alternativt splittes op i delkomponenter. Dette skal ses i lyset af, at derivater alene eller i kombination med andre finansielle instrumenter netop kan anvendes til at duplikere afkastet på andre transaktioner. Visse typer af kontrakter er positivt undtaget efter KGL § 30 under opfyldelse af leveringskravet, kravet om ingen afståelse og ingen modgående kontrakter.1032 Generelt skal de undtagne kontrakter beskattes sammen med det underliggende aktiv. Dette er formentlig også årsagen til, at betingelserne for undtagelsen er, at den finansielle kontrakt er tæt knyttet til ejerskab af det underliggende aktiv.

Abstract: The Commission's Green Paper on Copyright in the Knowledge Economy highlights, above all, the need for a serious research and dialogue on the future of the Information Society Directive. Although the directive had been drafted with the new technology in mind, the developments of the previous decade already show the need for a serious discussion about it. The debate about the issues pointed out in the Green Paper had begun in earnest not only on this side of the Atlantic but on the other, as well as all around the world.

Trzaskowski, Jan (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The regulation of the telecommunication industry in Denmark is quite liberal. There are no requirements to register with national authorities when providing telecommunication services or Premium Rate Services. Only Network Operators, who want to make use of the scarce frequency resources, must register with the National IT and Telecom Agency. This liberal approach may be a contributory factor to the fact that there are no official statistics on Premium Rate Services available from public authorities. This article is structured into five parts concerning 1) Premium Rate Services in Denmark, 2) relevant actors, 3) regulation concerning Network Operators, 4) regulation concerning Content Providers, and 5) telecommunication services that are not Premium Rate Services. The proposed structure has been departed to reflect the general division of regulation concerning the Network Operator and the Content Provider, respectively. The areas covered, reflects the regulation that is relevant to those Premium Rate Services provided in Denmark. The emphasis of the article is laid on the regulation safeguarding consumers in the context of Premium Rate Services. This regulation may be grouped into regulation that: sets requirements for carrying out business as Network Operator or Content Provider, concerns which Premium Rate Service may be provided, and under which number-series or applications codes, imposes certain information requirements, ensures fair and truthful marketing of the Premium Rate Services, or allows the User to monitor his bill, limit his usage, or limits the liability in connection to unauthorised usage. Infringement of the legislation in question is mainly sanctioned by administrative or civil sanctions. The overall impression is that the Danish telecommunication industry is quite active in securing compliance with the law. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7384 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Dominerende virksomheders adgang til at indrømme deres kunder rabatter er genstand for betydelige uklarheder, bl.a. som følge af en retspraksis, der ikke på alle punkter er sammenhægende eller forenelig med ordlyden af lovgivningen. Nedenfor skal der med udgangspunkt i EU og dansk praksis, dog forsøges opstillet nogle nærmere retningslinjer. Det konkluderes dog at der eksisterer så mange uklarheder at en sammenhængende praksis ikke ubetinget kan skabes. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7389 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: In EU law, nationality and gender were the only equality issues on the legal agenda from the outset in 1958 and for about 40 years. Multiple discrimination was not addressed until the 1990's. The intersectionality approach which has been widely discussed outside Europe has mainly been used with a view to gendermainstreaming the fight against other kinds of discrimination (on grounds of ethnic origin, age, etc).

The prohibition against misleading names in an internal market contextRørdam, Mette Ohm (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This thesis investigates how food naming is regulated in the European Union with the aim to structure and explain the different rules regulating food naming and the interactions between the different rules, thereby clarifying de lege lata. Further, the thesis sets out to determine to what degree the Member States within the EU are free to regulate the naming of imported as well as domestically produced food, by way of legislation and/or by enforcement of the prohibition against misleading names. The interaction between the prohibition against misleading names and the obligation to mutually recognise names which have been legally used in other Member States are central in this thesis. The first part of the thesis introduces the thesis subject and provides an explanation to the approaches taken. The empirical data used for identifying practical real-life cases concerning potentially misleading names is presented. The second part of the thesis elaborates on the various EU rules in secondary law, their scope and objectives, including an examination of the rationales behind the rules based on application of economic theory. The borderlines between the rules are clarified. Part three of the thesis contains legal dogmatic analyses and discussions of the different EU rules regulating food naming. The analyses of the rules are based on practical real-life cases in which food naming has shown to be a challenging task. The difficulties addressed relate to: precision of names (the task of finding a name precise enough to provide adequate information to consumers without narrowing the product's competitive field); product identity (difficulties in naming products that refer to specific ingredients and in which traditional ingredients have been replaced); the use of geographical names (which potentially mislead consumers) and language difficulties. In the last chapter of part three an analysis is provided of the concept of fairness and general prohibition against misleading consumers in order to clarify the criteria for applying these in real-life cases. Despite the existence of rather detailed rules on naming and labelling of food, which provides clarity in relation to food naming, the application of these rules is dependent on consumers' expectation and potentially deception which must be assessed on a case-by-case basis, whereby the predictability of the rules is weakened. Part four of the thesis focuses on the borderlines between primary and secondary EU law and on answering the second part of the research question. Primary EU law defines the fundamental borderlines for EU law on food names and limits how food legislation can and must be applied. First part of this analysis focuses on the naming of imported food products, while the second part focuses on the naming of domestically produced food. The relevant sources of law are analysed and discussions are provided. It is concluded that the principle of mutual recognition takes precedence over the prohibition against misleading names, which prevents Member States from regulating the naming of imported food, by way of legislation and by enforcement of the prohibition against misleading names. Secondary EU law also limits how Member States can regulate the naming of domestically produced food. Part five provides the conclusion to the research question.

Roseberry, Lynn (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: On May 1 2004, 10 additional countries joined the European Union. Out of fears that the "old" member states would be swamped by cheap labour from the new member states, many of the old members chose to impose transitional rules on the mobility of labour from the new to the old member states. This report provides an analysis of the transitional rules put in place by the Danish government. What are the rules that apply to workers from the new member states compared to those that apply to workers from the old member states? How are these rules administered? And what are the social rights of workers from the new member states, e.g., in the form of access to social benefits? These are some of the questions addressed in this report. (Report in Danish).

En skatteretlig analyse af SEL §§ 11, 11B og 11CTell, Michael (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Emnet for denne afhandling er rentefradragsbegrænsningsreglerne i selskabsskattelovens §§ 11, 11B og 11C. Selskabets valg af finansiering består grundlæggende af et valg mellem egenkapital og fremmedkapital (gæld). Valget herimellem påvirker indkomstopgørelsen forskelligt. Ved gældsfinansiering flyttes beskatningen fra selskabsniveau til investorniveau, hvorved selskabsbeskatningen kontra investorbeskatningen er afgørende for de skattemæssige incitamenter ved valget mellem egen- og fremmedkapital. En lavere beskatning af investor, eksempelvis ved en ikke-hjemmehørende investor, skaber incitament til en højere gældsandel på selskabsniveau, hvorved at indkomst flyttes til beskatning udenfor Danmark.1251 Rentefradragsbegrænsningsreglerne i SEL §§ 11, 11B og 11C skal hindre en sådan udflytning af skattetilsvar i specifikke situationer.

The Impact of Commission's Proposed Data Protection Regulation: Appendix to Deliverable D5.1Savin, Andrej (Bruxelles, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The European Commission recently proposed a General Data Protection Regulation,1 which is meant to replace the EU Data Protection Directive2 and to thoroughly reform and modernize the EU privacy regulatory framework. The Regulation, if adopted, would introduce a number of changes, several of which would considerably alter the current privacy setting.3 First, the current Directive would be replaced with a Regulation, achieving EU-‐wide harmonization. Second, the scope of the instrument would be widened and the provisions made more precise. Third, the use of consent for data processing would be limited. Fourth, Data protection "by design" would be distinguished from data protection "by default". Fifth, new fundamental rights would be introduced and the old ones clarified. Sixth, new rules on controllers' and processors' duties, on supervisory authorities and on sanctions would be introduced. Finally, the Commission would obtain significant new powers to adopt delegated acts. This appendix explores the impact that the proposed Regulation might have on interoperability of user-‐generated services.4 Since the proposed Regulation is an instrument of high complexity, only those provisions of direct relevance for the project and Work Package 5 will be analysed here.

A Legal and Theoretical Exploration of How to Regulate Unoriginal Database Contents and Possible Suggestions for ReformHerr, Robin Elizabeth (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Controversial from its inception, the European Database Directive protects unoriginal contents in contrast to the United States where there is no statutory protection. Despite this extra incentive, empirical evidence seems to indicate that database production in the European Community remains largely unchanged while that in the United States is increasing, at least in the short term. Dissatisfaction with the Directive has sparked efforts to revise database protection policy, including by the European Commission. In order to determine the best method of regulation, three factors are explored in this Ph.D. thesis: the nature of the database industry, regulatory theories emanating from economic analysis of the law and the evidence offered by the US and EC protection regimes. A major insight that emerges is that the productive potential of secondary producers, what the author terms re-users, is being undervalued in Europe. A greater emphasis on access could harness their economic potential. However, this conclusion comes with a twist based upon the American experience. A reduction in statutory protection could result in a switch to production models that emphasize access. But it could also result in models that reduce access even more than at present. In order to ensure a productive future, rigorous monitoring and regulatory adjustment is in order. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7716 Files in this item: 1

Juridisk analyse af kvinders og mænds adgang til varer og tjenesteydelserNielsen, Ruth (København, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Formålet med denne rapport er at præcisere omfanget og rækkevidden af det forbud mod kønsdiskrimination ved adgang til varer og tjenesteydelser, der i Danmark siden vedtagelsen af ligestillingsloven i 2000 gælder for alle sælgere/tjenesteydere både i den private og offentlige sektor samt af den pligt til at indarbejde kønsligestilling i al planlægning og forvaltning, der gælder i den offentlige sektor (den såkaldte mainstreamingpligt). Det vil også blive diskuteret, i hvilken udstrækning der, hvis der ønskes mere kønsligestilling, kan og bør ske skærpelse af reglerne i dansk ret inden for rammerne af de nugældende EU-regler. Kønsligestilling og forbud mod diskrimination er grundlæggende rettigheder (menneskerettigheder). I de seneste år er der i stigende grad udviklet et samspil mellem elementer i dansk ret, der stammer fra EU-niveau, og elementer, der stammer fra folkeretligt eller nationalt niveau, hvilket gør det relevant at opfatte regler af national herkomst, folkeret og regler, der er blevet til i EU-regi, som ét stort system.

Abstract: The focus of this thesis is an analysis of the legal aspects and use of surveys in trademark and marketing practice litigation in Norway. I examine the legal relevance of surveys and analyse how they are considered as evidence by the courts and administrative bodies. Human behaviour can be defined within a legal context by interpreting legal sources and also by developing a survey based on the market place. In this thesis, I compare the use of survey findings as evidence of human perceptions in the context of the average consumer who represents the opinion of the relevant group. If the factual public opinion of the respective group of addressees is taken into consideration, the rules are interpreted with a basis in the market place (reality), and not within a formal legal framework (abstraction)...

An empirical studyMøgelvang-Hansen, Peter; Lando, Henrik; Kristensen, Bo; Schützsack, Ole (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The project described in this report was carried out with support from The Ministry of Justice's Research Pool. The aim of the project is to examine the effects of Amending Act no. 213/2002, amending the rules on consumer sales in the Danish Sale of Goods Act. The amendments were part of Denmark's implementation of Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees. The Amending Act came into force on 24 April 2002, having effect on consumer sales made on and after 1 January 2002. At the time of completion of this report, the Amending Act had been in force for more than two and a half years. In the planning of this project, we assumed that at this point in time sufficient experience with the new rules would be available, enabling us to get an impression of its practical consequences for businesses. Also, we assumed that the respondents could still recall the prior state of the law, making it possible for us to gather sufficient information to compare the situation before and after the Amending Act entered into force. The Amending Act involved a number of amendments to the Danish Sale of Goods Act. Certain amendments, such as those concerning the rules on lack of conformity, were mainly clarifications of the current state of the law. As these in fact did not change the state of the law, they were not intended to change practice either. As this study is empirically oriented, these amendments fall outside its scope. Consequently, in this study we have chosen to focus on the consequences of the following amendments: Under the new provisions in s. 77a(3), any lack of conformity with the contract is assumed to have existed at the time of delivery if such lack of conformity becomes apparent within six months of the time of delivery. Where there is a lack of conformity, the consumer in general has a right to choose between replacement and repair under s. 78. Replacement is no longer contingent on the lack of conformity constituting a fundamental breach. Furthermore, it is no longer possible for the seller to decline a request for replacement by offering to repair. If the consumer's request for replacement or repair would impose disproportionate costs on the seller, or if this remedy is impossible, the seller can, however, decline the request. In s. 83, the limitation period for complaints has been extended from one to two years from the time of delivery to the consumer. In s. 54, the corresponding limitation period on other sales than consumer sales has been extended from one to two years to avoid sellers in the retail trade from being caught in between their consumers and their suppliers. As before, s. 83 cannot be derogated from to the detriment of the consumer. It is, however, still possible for the parties to derogate from s. 54 concerning other sales than consumer sales. The fundamental question of this study is whether the mentioned alteration to the state of the law has resulted in a notable change in the behaviour of the relevant players. Of the relevant players, our principal focus is the retail trade, whose situation we have examined by way of a questionnaire survey. To a limited extent we have also looked into any changes in the behaviour of wholesalers/producers, mainly by way of interviews with trade organisations. Finally, we have examined the application of the new rules, mainly by looking at the Danish Consumer Complaints Board. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7386 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Spørgsmålet er om der er aftaleretlig revolution på vej, en revolution som er baseret på, at hvis virksomhederne vil overleve i den globale økonomi kræves nye initiativer for at skabe værdi.1 Den globale økonomi er karakteriseret ved omskiftelighed og aggressiv konkurrence. Derfor kan virksomheder sjældent stå alene om at skabe værdi.2 Det er forandringen i virksomhedernes værdiskabelse, som er årsagen til revolutionen. I stedet for at skabe værdi alene skaber virksomhederne nu værdier i fællesskab og til det kræves nye samarbejdsformer og nye måder at indgå aftaler på, selv i virksomhedens første levetid. De gamle metoder og teorier duer således ikke mere. Nye samarbejdsformer indbefatter både i Storbritannien,3 USA og i Danmark begrebet partnering. Selv om partnering er et forholdsvist nyt begreb i Danmark, har partnering allerede i USA vist at være vejen til fundamentale forandringer for, hvordan store virksomheder kontraherer.

An international analysis - from a legal and economic perspectiveAndersen, Henrik; Cao, Fuguo; Tvarnø, Christina D.; Wang, Ping (Nottingham, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This book provides a legal, economic and policy analysis of Public Private Partnerships. It is designed as a text for students at university level, but also for lawyers, procurement officials and policy-makers. The book consists of an EU, a WTO and a Chinese legal perspective. As explained on the cover page, the book was prepared as a part of a collaborative project in higher education, the EU Asia Inter University Network for Teaching and Research in Public Procurement Regulation 2009-2011, funded by the EU. This project involved several universities in Europe and Asia and has sought to promote and support the teaching of public procurement in Europe, Asia and globally. This text is one of five books produced under the auspices of the project that are designed to be used as resources in the teaching of public procurement law and regulation. The main editors and chapter authors are listed below, but it should be recognised that the text is a collaborative effort of all the partners to the extent that it has benefited from input by, and discussions between, many different persons at the different partner institutions. In addition to the authors and editor mentioned below, the text has benefited from editing and proof reading by Laura Graham at the University of Nottingham and text assistance from Marie Pade Andersen , Cecilie Voss and Kim Jørgensen at Copenhagen Business School whose assistance the project would like to acknowledge gratefully. The contents of the book are up to date as of August 2010. It has also been possible to include later developments in some parts of the book.

Cezar FerreiraTRAINING: Me and my team are doing an excellent job improving more techniques in a safe way, where you train hard but avoid injuries. This camp is great, I'm learning a lot, and my body is 100% healthy for this fight.
Thoughts on opponent, CB Dollaway? CB is a great fighter with good abilities. He has a good set of takedowns and also good stand-up. I'm training hard for this fight to be 100% and nullify his game. When and why did you start training to become a fighter? I started training in Belo Horizonte with Vitor Belfort because it was my dream since I was a little kid. What ranks and titles have you held? Capoeira Master, BJJ black belt Do you have any heroes? Ayrton Senna, Randy Couture and Vitor Belfort What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It is a dream coming true. I believe everything you go after you can conquer. So always in my career I started to see myself in the UFC, and so it happened. Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I was at the college studying to become a physiologist but I had to leave to chase my dream to become a professional fighter. What was your job before you started fighting? I had many jobs - my last one was as a personal trainer Favorite grappling technique: Armbar Favorite striking technique: Any one that can end the fight

A facilities plan is a document the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) often requires during a wastewater discharge permit renewal process. Environmental Services developed the current TCWTP Facilities Plan when the DEQ renewed the TCWTP Waste Discharge Permit in 1999. Environmental Services has applied for renewal of the TCWTP Waste Discharge Permit and is updating the 1999 Facilities Plan to support that permit renewal process.
The purpose of a facilities plan is to identify wastewater facilities that will reliably meet discharge permit requirements. The updated facilities plan will identify future capital improvement projects at the Tryon Creek Wastewter Treatment Plant.
Land uses in the Foothills area around the plant may change in the future. The updated Facilities Plan will provide an ongoing framework for the plant to continue to be a good neighbor.
The City of Lake Oswego is developing a master plan for the Foothills District which includes the property where the Tryon Creek plant is located.
You can download a copy of the Lake Oswego Foothills District Framework Plan here. Environmental Services has provided a comment letter to Lake Oswego on the Foothills Plan.
The decision-making body for the TCWTP Facilities Plan update is an Oversight Committee which consists of the Lake Oswego Mayor and City Manager, and the Commissioner in charge and the Director of Portland's Bureau of Environmental Services.
A 10-member Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is advising the Oversight Committee and the Facilities Plan update project team. Lake Oswego and Environmental Services each appointed five members to serve on the CAC. The CAC has developed a Facilities Plan Vision and Guiding Principles document to guide the work.
During the Facilities Plan update process, Environmental Services and the City of Lake Oswego will invite the public to two open houses to provide feedback on the project.
We welcome your comments about the facilities plan. You can submit your comments online here.

Soul Doctor, the Rockin' Rabbi Musical, Will Play Off-Broadway Starting July 30 With Eric Anderson
By Kenneth Jones
Soul Doctor, the musical about the real-life unconventional rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, his passion for pop music and his relationship with soul singer Nina Simone, will play New York City July 30-Aug. 19. The Manhattan staging, a guest attraction at New York Theatre Workshop (79 E. 4th Street), follows developmental runs at two venues in Florida in 2011-12, and performances in New Orleans in 2010. Opening night is Aug. 13. Written and directed by Daniel Wise and choreographed by the Princess Grace award-winning choreographer Camille A. Brown, the show has music by Carlebach, lyrics by Drama Desk-nominated David Schechter, with additional music and arrangements by Nina Simone. Producers Jeremy Chess, Joel Kahn, Jerome Levy, Edward L. Steinberg, Robert Beckwitt and Alan Zimbard present this limited run. The company includes Eric Anderson (of Broadway's South Pacific) as Shlomo Carlebach (he also played the role in Florida last winter following a casting shakeup) and Erica Ash (Broadway's The Lion King; Baby It's You!, "Mad TV") as Nina Simone, with Meredith Kaye Clarke (Wicked), Ryan Strand (Jersey Boys), Kenny Morris, Rachel Stern, Dionne Figgins, Ryan Duncan and Julia Osborne. Here's how the production is billed: "Soul Doctor tells the story of the beloved yet controversial father of popular Jewish music, rabbi Shlomo Carlebach and explores his unlikely friendship with the 'High Priestess of Soul' Nina Simone. Beginning with his childhood escape from Nazi Germany, the show takes us on a musical odyssey through the challenges and triumphs of this cultural phenomenon, as he becomes a rabbinical prodigy in America, discovers Gospel and Soul music during his friendship with Simone, and has a meteoric rise as a 'Rock Star Rabbi' in the 1960s, performing with Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead. This taste of stardom is a double-edged sword as Shlomo struggles with the personal conflicts of keeping his family together while traversing the globe, and reconciling his deep traditional roots with his desire to reach people of all backgrounds." The creative team includes musician Steve Margoshes (who arranges and "weaves" 30 of Carlebach's songs into the story), Seth Farber (musical direction and orchestrations), Jeff Croiter (lighting) and Clive Goodwin (sound). Performances will play Monday through Wednesday evenings at 7 PM, Thursdays at 8 PM and Saturdays at 9 PM. Matinees are Wednesday and Sunday at 2 PM. There are no Friday evening performances. Tickets are $85 and can be purchased online from TicketCentral.com or by calling (212) 279-4200. |

Sergeant at alarms
Why operations-owned alarm management is best bet for plant safety
By Claire Hackney
Most alarms are there to help ensure the integrity and health of operations. Some alarms are required for regulatory agencies, and some are needed for system maintenance as well as those that can only be addressed by specialty groups. Yet, the vast majority of alarms are designed for operations response.
Since engineers usually are not interested in lengthy meetings, and documentation and rationalization of alarms normally require long discussions, operations can address these alarms and only require meetings for controversial issues, leaving the minor changes to an automated process for computer-based documentation of the approval process. And complete alarm documentation can eventually result for any organization.
Operational issues are normally reflected in the alarm system. That means identifying procedures for a business' response to alarms addresses the mechanism for response to operations issues. Engineers do not want to work on alarm management; but they do need to develop processes so operations can fill out forms and drive the management of alarms. The approvals should come from engineers, but the management should come from operations. In response to this need, we should take a closer look at operations-owned alarm management.
Operations should own alarms
Operations needs to take ownership of alarm systems. That is the main idea behind operations-owned alarm management (OOAM). They define the need for the valuable alarms and identify unnecessary alarms. They identify the alarms that need to be disabled when the equipment is out of service and the alarms that need to be kept at the same time. They troubleshoot the issue as much as possible using the resources at their disposal. They then either resolve the issue or define the group within the organization that can. The appropriate support personnel then review this identification process and process it for approved changes.
Another essential part to OOAM is the success of the program. Training and resolution throughout the organization should assure once operations has done its job, the organization will respond appropriately. Maintenance will occur in a timely fashion according to priorities. When there is a discrepancy between the perceived priority and the available maintenance, discussions should occur with operations, and they should be involved in the process all the way through to resolution. Maintenance should not define the technical completion of the issue; this should happen with the operator that initiated the work notification.
Maintenance is not the only part of the organization that needs training. Engineering also needs to resolve issues in a timely fashion. Engineering issues are not quick fixes, but they need to prioritize the process and keep a list so operation personnel are confident their work is not in vain, and they have support.
Training also needs to occur in operations management concerning their role in alarm management. Ignored alarms should be a thing of the past. Until changes can occur, we should respond to all alarms as if they are identified correctly. Otherwise, any response loses significance. That includes alarms limiting production and alarms at incorrect limits. If an alarm is currently configured to require a response, take it. This will drive the organization to make the appropriate changes to alleviate incorrectly defined alarms.
Principles for success
OOAM requires operations to deal with potentially thousands of configured alarms and their details. Thus, success depends on several principles. Any tools the operators use in documentation need to be easy and efficient. They must be able to capture essential information quickly and accurately. Simply seeding documentation forms with similar alarms is useful. Drop-down boxes help in ease of use, accuracy, and consistency.
OOAM in action involves issue identification and prioritization, alarm valuation, out-of-service equipment, operator troubleshooting, and shelving programs.
Out of service
Of course, you will need to consider conditions when equipment is out of service for an extended period of time to maintain adequate alarm management. It is best to create out-of-service lists per piece of equipment at installation. However, since such engineering is not the norm, you will probably have to create these lists as needed.
Alarms might be necessary even when a piece of equipment is out of service. The high-level alarm on a boiler would see use even when the boiler was out of service if the equipment was not blinded away from the steam system to avoid running condensate into the steam header. In this case, it is important to ensure appropriate people review the out-of-service list; this includes the responsible party for unit incidents.
When taking alarms out of service, you should provide for these alarms coming back into service when unit conditions indicate equipment is going back in service. You should provide a minimum number of triggers and place code in the DCS that allows for monitoring instrumentation to ensure alarms are fully functioning as needed. Provide for nuisance alarms during startup with some type of delay logic built into the program. This should be carefully engineered, however.
When dealing with alarm disabling and enabling, alarms need to become available in the most conservative conditions. If the code is not placed in a redundant location, a watchdog code should be in place in another application on the DCS to monitor the health of the primary system and reactivate the alarms should the health of the primary system be in question.
Operator troubleshooting
Operator functionality varies from location to location. However, you should require a bare minimum of troubleshooting for instrumentation before operations can delegate an alarm issue to some other aspect of process support. It is crucial to the health of the site's support structure that operations thoroughly discern whether process conditions are causing anything to alleviate the alarm, such as turning on a pump, or draining a knock-out pot. You can normally group these troubleshooting techniques into flow, level, temperature, pressure, and analyzer indications.
Sites should define troubleshooting for each of these indications, but you should give special consideration for level indication troubleshooting. Level indication troubleshooting varies from site to site based not only on different roles and responsibilities, but also on the availability of sight glasses. In any unit where sight glasses are installed, include maintaining their functionality in the normal rounds of the outside personnel. It is unacceptable for sight glasses to be installed and unavailable when needed. Establish sight-glass maintenance procedures along with full explanations of any specialty equipment associated with these installations, for instance blow out protection valves.
For any computer applications where operations is simply monitoring the health of some equipment, the response is to call someone out who is performing a non-operations role. An alarm with the highest priority triggers operations to call someone out immediately. An intermediate alarm priority indicates a corrective action that varies upon when the personnel will be available during normal business hours. The response to this alarm might vary upon occurrence on a Friday evening as opposed to a Sunday afternoon. An alarm with the lowest priority has the corrective action of informing the appropriate personnel that the alarm has occurred and should receive a response at some time in the future. It is unacceptable for parties outside operations to not respond to alarms that are on the system in some defined time frame. This response might be tracked with a key performance indicator for quality assurance.
Shelving, delegation
Now that we have determined the alarm has a defined priority, is not a temporary issue (out of service), and cannot be alleviated by the console or outside operator, the path forward entails two aspects: shelving and delegation. Shelving programs allow operations to disable alarms while addressing an issue. The program, by procedure, should not be available to ignore issues, but should only be used for issues that have been through the entire operations-owned rationalization process.
Therefore, if 1) an alarm rationalization form exists for a piece of equipment, 2) the associated equipment is either in service or an out-of-service equipment form is undergoing process, and 3) operations has already troubleshot the issue and cannot alleviate the alarm, there should be a mechanism available for operations to disable the alarm while the delegated party is processing it.
You should time the shelving in some fashion, and identify and study processing for issues that stay in the shelving program too long. Even though alarms are disabled, they still go to an alarm journal in some DCS systems. So if the alarm is an extremely bad actor, shelving may not be the solution. You might want to consider alarm inhibition. For these cases, it is important to get DCS system support involved.
Corporate obstacles to OOAM
Since change is the only constant in today's business environment, OOAM needs to be ingrained as everyone's responsibility throughout the organization. The alarm system should correctly reflect every change. The more front-end loading, the less symptoms of poor alarm system performance will be exhibited. There is no way to ensure any new process or change is not going to impact the alarm system. However, through proper engineering (operations involvement through engineered procedures), you can consider all changes before installation and attempt a first pass at properly designing the impact.
Consider alarm management before every change. Expense and capital projects need to address potential impact on the alarm system, and the process needs to be in place to ensure the alarms are appropriately valued and documented before changing the process.
Maintenance budgets can also be an obstacle to proper alarm management. That is why the alarm valuation forms need to put the issue in perspective by being closely associated to the risk matrix operations uses to determine any maintenance expenditure.
Cutting rates according to poorly designed alarms is a travesty. However, it is a self-inflected issue and can be resolved at whatever time frame the organization determines is the correct priority. Emergency changes can follow appropriate procedures and ensure proper alarm management procedures.
Potential benefits
When an organization fully implements and supports OOAM, it can realize the following benefits:
A complete alarm data base
OSHA-required documentation of causes, consequences, and corrective action for critical alarms
Proper prioritization of operational issue resolution by operations management, maintenance, and the engineering organization
Satisfied operations personnel since a mechanism is in place for them to address issues
Lower maintenance budgets since more maintenance work notifications are appropriate and truly require maintenance personnel because of better operational troubleshooting
Better response to a well functioning alarm system
Experience does not leave the organization without leaving behind some clues to their response to issues

First ISA alarm standard moving aheadBy Ellen Fussell PolicastroThe ISA18 committee on alarm management is forging ahead on its first standard for management of alarms for modern control systems. The committee is in the process of reviewing comments and said it hopes to publish the standard late 2008 or early 2009. Some of the key items are the introduction of the alarm management lifecycle, the definition of processes for suppressing alarms, and the requirements to monitor the performance of the alarm system. "The field of alarm management has benefited from some good practices, developed by organizations like Engineered Equipment and Materials Users Association (EEMUA) and Abnormal Situation Management Consortium, but very few standards have been developed to help user companies with a set of requirements on the minimum alarm management practices," said ISA18 co-chair Nick Sands, process control engineer at DuPont Kevlar in Newark, Del. "This standard will provide the guidance for which many companies have been asking," he said. "There is a misconception in industry that the EEMUA document is the definitive standard on alarm management," said Donald Dunn, ISA18 co-chair and consulting engineer at Aramco Services Company in Houston. "EEMUA is not a standard body, and the document is at best a best practice/book report on alarm management. Thus, this work by [ISA]18 is the first standard on this topic by one of the recognized industry standards bodies." None of the internationally recognized standards bodies has created any standards on the topic of alarm management. Industry has been requesting guidance on this topic for many years. If you review any of the major petro-chem incidents over the past 15 years, alarms within the facilities have been one of the key findings from the incident investigation. Judging from the volunteers on the committee, those most interested in the standard include refining, chemical, pharmaceutical, power, food, and water companies, Sands said. "While our volunteer committee is a good judge of its reach, any industry that utilizes alarms will be able to find substantial benefit from utilizing this standard," Dunn said. Most of the comments in the last cycle were on the alarm philosophy, specifically the alarm classification section, and the human machine interface design, specifically the displays section, Sands said. "These clauses specify the expectations for a sites alarm philosophy on alarms that require extra attention through the life cycle and how alarms are displayed on alarm summaries and some other displays." In fact, alarm management lifecycle is what defines ISA18, Dunn said. "The concept was not utilized in any of the best practices and is ground breaking within alarm management." The subcommittee has addressed all comments so far. "We review the comments on each clause in a subcommittee and then review any rejected comments or comments that need discussion, in the editors committee," Sands said. Within ISA18, all major clauses have more than one clause editor that works to resolve comments. "We then review all of those decisions in the editors committee conference calls where we seek consensus on the sub-groups decisions," Dunn said. "No one person or one company has undue influence on the efforts of [ISA]18; it is a consensus effort." |

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia's Board of Education is urging the Legislature to allow counties to alter their school calendars and reduce the role seniority plays in teacher hiring.
The recommendations are among dozens of steps drawn from or inspired by the recent audit of West Virginia's education system.
The board endorsed all but about 10 of that review's recommendations last week. Board President Wade Linger outlined the board's audit response to a House-Senate subcommittee.
But Senate Education Chair Robert Plymale was among lawmakers Tuesday seeking clearer direction or stronger stances by the board.
The audit concluded that West Virginia has one of the country's most inflexible and bureaucrat-heavy school systems. It contrasts the state's poor rankings for student performance with the billions spent on education each year.

Tips & Tricks
Sour Spanks Chewy Candy Balls - Green Apple: 5LB Bag
Pin It
Green apples always seem to get such a bad rap. Unlike their red and yellow brethren, which possess embarrassingly adorable names such as "Red Delicious" and "Golden Delicious" and are known for being sweet and juicy, the Granny Smith green apple is quite tart… and apparently named after the old lady who lives next door.
But it's also the inspiration for one of our favorite candies out there: Sour Spanks! These sour spheres of chewy green apple goodness are tangy on the outside and sweet on the inside. They're so tart, they're like a spank in your mouth! (The fun kind, of course.) If you're a sour-fiend, enjoy these little nuggets slowly to savor the sour crystal coatings. If you prefer sweet, chew 'em fast to get to the sugary interior sooner! We think it's time to thank ol' Granny for her addition to the apple family -- our tingling, tart-loving taste buds appreciate it!
There are approximately 225 pieces per pound.
Unit Price = $7.90/lb.
Bag contains 5 pounds of Green Apple Chewy Sour Spanks Candy Balls.
Made in the USA.
Shipping Weight ~ 6 lbs.

Two years after the death of an eccentric Deerfield man, a secret he kept for most of his life is finally coming out. As our Andrew Sorensen tells us, that secret is quite rich in generosity.
UTICA, N.Y. -- A few people meeting in a coffee shop two years after Arthur John Pultorak died fulfill his final will and testament. The recipients couldn't be more grateful, but to understand his unlikely gift, you need to understand John Pultorak.
"I hope you're listening Johnny, up there! I'm sure he is," said longtime friend Gordon Murray.
Gordon Murray still talks to his dear friend, who described himself as, 'Just a poor farmer.'
"Farmers together for years. Known John all my life," Murray said.
Murray was one of the closest people to Pultorak and he even took over Pultorak's farm. "He would come down to our house, which is just down the street here, for Thanksgiving, for Easter, for Christmas," said Murray.
But he didn't know everything. A few piles are all that's left of a massive collection of pretty much everything Pultorak ever came in contact with, dated and cataloged. His friends say it's because he was frugal.
But buried underneath all of it was a secret worth about $1.5 million and it's now going to help a lot of people.
Pultorak left over $1.5 million of his estate in bonds and bank accounts buried in his house to St. Elizabeth's and Faxton-St. Luke's Hospitals. The hospitals say the donation was quite the surprise from a 'poor farmer.' "This is certainly one of the very biggest we've ever received, if not the biggest," St. Elizabeth's Hospital President and CEO Richard Ketcham said.
St. Elizabeth's will get $500,000 and Faxton-St. Luke's $1 million. Both hospitals say if Pultorak were listening, they'd give him the same message. "Thank you so much. The gift that he's giving us is just something that we cannot duplicate on a daily basis, certainly," Faxton-St. Luke's Hospital President and CEO Scott Perra said.
Who knew that buried under all this was a heart of gold, about $1.5 million worth?
Pultorak did have one condition that came with the donation: That a plaque be erected in both hospitals to honor his father, mother, brother and himself.

This Olivia's Letters project was the first time that I acted spontaneously upon something I observed that was wrong with the world around me. It has shown me a lot about the compassion that is prevalent in the world, and it has given me faith in the ability of a person to heal from the support of others. I wouldn't trade this experience for the world.
