NFPA 70®: National Electrical Code® (NEC®) Softbound and Handbook Set, 2011 Edition
View the exclusive NFPA®-published NEC Handbook in an interactive online demo.
|Item # 70SBS11
|Watch NFPA®'s interview with Donny Cook, Chief Electrical Inspector, Shelby County Department of Developmental Services, Shelby County, AL, to hear him discuss the 2011 NEC®.
"The NEC is truly everybody's Code. The NEC sets up a minimum basis for safety, and it reacts to the latest knowledge. If the general public understood how the latest NEC protects us all from electrical hazards, people would insist on it.
|Now that there are governmental incentives, more users will want to take advantage of these systems, and we need to ensure safety by making sure they're properly installed, inspected, and approved. The easy-to-use requirements in Article 694 help people make use of energy saving technologies.
Another timesaving solution in the 2011 NEC is the addition of new Article 399 containing prescriptive requirements for overhead distribution systems for large users. This allows designers, installers, and inspectors to conduct and approve an installation for non-utility-owned equipment based on the NEC. Time is money, and this expanded NEC coverage for premises wiring is extremely practical."
|Watch NFPA's interview with Donald Bliss, President & COO, NI2 Center for Infrastructure Expertise, to hear him discuss the benefits of the NEC, and its companion Handbook.
"The beauty of having the Handbook available is that it translates sometimes complex Code language into a day-to-day working language...It is really an essential companion to the National Electrical Code®."
Jim Pauley states:
"We're trying to accommodate a significant amount of electrical use in this country as well as growing in other countries. The 2011 NEC® has the ability to make sure that we carry forward in newer technologies such as solar or wind, and also to ensure that people can interact with these systems in a safe manner. Commentary in the 2011 NEC Handbook provides the opportunity to connect you between the Code text and what you would see in a real-life installation."

Could this give cloud computing a black eye? Or just Amazon's service? And why do the outages keep occurring? There are yet more questions than answers but analysts are weighing in on what the latest outage, which the hacker group Anonymous is taking credit for, means for the cloud.
Zeus Kerravala, principal analyst at ZK Research, told us the outage may give Amazon's customers cause for concern.
"As long as they've been selling cloud, you would think they would be one of the more stable cloud services," Kerravala said. "If Amazon is going to invest anywhere, they should invest to make sure this doesn't happen again."
Cloud Services Best Practices
Damian Bramanis, director of Advisory Services at Sentinus.com.au, said businesses need to use best practices for cloud services in order to avoid outages like the one Amazon just suffered. That, he said, means not putting all of your eggs in one basket, so cloud disasters don't become your disaster.
As he sees it, many cloud services can cope with failures by spreading the service across different data centers and availability zones. Businesses that followed this best practice model would have seen their operations continue despite the Amazon disruption.
"We recommend spreading your services across separate cloud vendors to provide the best protection from disasters," Bramanis said. "Ultimately, staying safe in the cloud is a matter of trust. It's important to trust your cloud vendor at the best of times, but it's critical in the face of major problems."
Fast Reactions to Outages
Quality of service is one of the top barriers to adopting cloud services for any companies, Sentinus.com.au reports. Bramanis said he's seeing businesses rate quality of service as the second-most important issue for cloud computing. The first is data security.
The good news is, cloud provider outages are typically handled swiftly. Reaction times have been promising, Bramanis said, and vendors are not only working hard to fix the problems, they're keeping customers informed with regular updates.
Kerravala said the flexibility an enterprise gains with the cloud outweighs the loss of control, "assuming that those outages are minimized. That makes the cloud provider you use very important. They are not all created equal."

Lawmakers in Richmond rejected Gov. Bob McDonnell's amendments to a bill creating the Opportunity Educational Institution during the General Assembly's veto sessions yesterday.
McDonnell's changes — which included an additional $450,00 in funding — were voted down by both the state Senate and House of Delegates. The original bill, passed by the General Assembly in February, will now return to the governor's desk for his signature.
The legislation allows for a state-governed body to take over schools that either lost its accreditation or are at risk for losing accreditation — which could affect four schools throughout the commonwealth, including Jefferson-Houston.
In legislative sessions, lawmakers worried the bill was too vague in laying out the Opportunity Educational Institution proposed relationship with local school boards. Many lawmakers, including Alexandria's Delegate Rob Krupicka (D-45), feared the institution would limit the amount of input from the community in regards to students' education.
Lawmakers allocated only $150,000 to the institution, far less than the originally proposed by the governor. The Opportunity Educational Institution would go into effect at the start of the 2014-2015 school year if it receives his signature.

Summary: MIND ON STATISTICS emphasizes the conceptual development of statistical ideas and seeks to find meaning in data. Authors Jessica Utts and Robert Heckard satisfy students' natural curiosity by actively engaging them with inspiring questions and explaining statistical topics in the context of excellent examples and case studies. MIND ON STATISTICS balances the spirit of statistical literacy with the statistical methodology taught in general introductory statistics cour ...show moreses. The authors built the book on two learning premises: (1) New material is much easier to learn and remember if it is related to something interesting or previously known; (2) New material is easier to learn if students actively ask questions and find the answers for themselves. More than any other text available, MIND ON STATISTICS motivates students to develop their statistical intuition by focusing on analyzing data and interpreting results, rather than on mathematical formulation. A wide range of interesting and real examples provides further motivation for students to learn about statistics.

Cadillac CTS, Infiniti M models earn Top Safety Pick status from IIHS
by Chris Shunk (RSS feed) on Aug 16th, 2010 at 4:01PM
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has put a new crop of large luxury vehicles through its crash test gauntlet, and the Cadillac CTS and Infiniti M joined some impressive company in scoring a Top Safety Pick designation. The CTS and M clinched the highly regarded award by receiving the top score of "Good" in roof strength testing. To achieve the top score in rollover safety, a vehicle's roof has to be able to support four times the weight of the entire vehicle. The Top Safety Pick designation is handed out only to vehicles that received a "Good" score for all four IIHS crash tests... Read More

I don't think I've seen much threads talking about a dedicated Warrior Protection offtank build and rotation.
I'm suggesting this particular build: (4/15/52).
This is based on taking the Fury shout talents to increase the effectiveness of Battle/Commanding Shouts, as well as picking up Puncture on purpose as opposed to ignoring it altogether.
By "Damage Theory", I mean using primarily Devastates to proc Sword and Board and using Shield Slam when it's up--while being in Berserker Stance to reduce threat output. Pair this with gear that successfully satisfies the 540 Defense skill requirement and high SBV+Strength, and the Protection offtank can possibly have a respectable damage output, more so than the conventional Protection tank. TC talents and Shockwave are taken to help with AoE tanking.
Any thoughts?
I've got more plate than your grandma's cupboard.
no imp revenge = bad (ok you're OT, but what happens when your getting hit) such as patchwork, thaddius (first phase). ect.
no anticipation = bad
4/5 deflection = bad
safeguard = bad
commanding presence gives you what ... 600hp i think? either way its less health then 5% dodge is in EH.
being in zerker makes you take 20% more damage = bad
honestly the best way to OT as a warrior is classic builds. if any one can get 5/5 imp demo its a dps warrior. OTs are the MT half the time, and you can become the MT it all hits the fan.
I'd ask what you mean by OT - do you mean
-- need to be second on threat while not getting hit
-- need to be second on threat while getting hit
-- getting hit (like as in gluth) with a taunt rotation
-- tanking adds
I'm confused cos in one breath you are talking about zerker stance to decrease threat but having 540defense, if you're not going to take damage you dont need 540 def gear.
There are a fair number of posts about deepwounds specs and some blogs/threads about prot dps as more and more of us more fully explore offtanking/dps'ing as a role.
**Give me a hug and I'll defend you with my life**
Blog: http://www.tankspot.com/blog.php?550-Shortypop
Threat/Dmg + Safeguard (=support) seems to be meant for something like a 2nd tank in Naxx10 - 540 def for OT on patchwerk etc., aoe threat for trash and dps for fights that require only one tank.
seriously... if you want a hybrid spec go for arms and take the first talents in prot to increase your EH - deep prot talents are more about dealing damage when tanking. If you plan to be able to take the "hateful" damage in a raid and still deal good damage a dps spec + having prot gear = best
for anything else 15/5/51 is your best choice anyway
I guess I was a bit vague, here. Or maybe misleading in the thread title. I'm after an offtank build that supplies a significant boost to the raid while being able to perform tanking duties.
4/15/52) then.
1. The MT has much more threat than the rest of the raid, and
2. Offtanking duties are "light" during the encounter.
Let's have a scenario in mind so I can explain what I have in mind, here. In an encounter, the MT picks up the boss. Mr. Offtank with the above (revised) build has 540 Defense gear with as much SBV possible. He charges the boss to gain some rage, goes into Berserker Stance and does Shield Slam, Devastates for Sword and Board to proc and supports the raid with Battle Shout/Commanding Shout. Intervenes once in a while to help with the MT's survivability.
An elite add appears. Mr. Offtank changes to Defensive Stance, Charges into the add and does a standard tanking rotation. When the add is down, he goes back to the boss again and does what he does in the previous paragraph.
Sorry for the wall of text. >_<
I've got more plate than your grandma's cupboard.
I'd still go with 15/5/51, it's really the best spec out there. Your raid should not be running into a problem with your MT dying, and so Imp Demo Shout and Commanding Presence will not yield huge benefits.
Impale and Deep Wounds will really boost your DPS significantly - that is the best way you can "buff" your raid. By outputting more damage and killing things faster, your entire raid will take less damage.
I would suggest going into Battle Stance rather than Berserker Stance when you are DPSing. Taking an extra 10% from raid-wide damage is not helpful, and the 3% crit you gain is negligible as Prot spec. With that said, Safeguard is a waste of points because you would have to stance dance to use it, which would wipe out all of your rage - resulting in lower DPS.
I would also value AttT over Cruelty. Critical Block and Incite gives you 5% crit per 1 talent point to the abilities you use the most. Going back and getting 1% crit for 1 point in Cruelty is not appealing. AttT will passively boost all of your attacks.
After seeing some of your responses, I'm understanding that you aren't talking about tanking, you're talking about an enhancement spec. If that's the case, it's just not something warriors should be dedicating themselves solely to. As a raid member, you are more valuable going deep into an arms/fury spec for DPS which also gives you the ability to get your improved shouts to buff your raid. Most of the 10-25 man raid content includes DPS races, and your +25% to your battle shout won't make up for the abysmal DPS you would be seeing from doing what you plan on doing (I'm wagering you'd get around 800-900dps).
I do commend you on thinking outside of the box with a new spec, but unfortunately when it comes to prot, you have 2 options:
15/5/51(Impale spec)
5/13 /53(Imp. Cleave spec) Note: This will do lower single target TPS than impale, but your AOE tanking is much easier.
First post and hello...I had to post on the safeguard thing.
Safeguard is a bad idea. I had the OT doing it to me once in naxx without my knowledge...it drops your total threat 10% with every use.....I was going crazy wondering why people started to catch me. I never had a problem before...I actually lost aggro on two fights...no biggie everything is tauntable...it did not help the healers. It did not "really" make me less squishy...it was a gimmick that seemed cool but in practice was a useless way to spec.
My advice, put the points somewhere else.
That happens with all uses of Intervene now, not just talented with Safeguard. Sad that it makes it useless as a tank-damage-reducing move. On the plus side, you can use it to tend to the aggro of people who are running hot. Combining the use of Intervene and Vigilance to stomp on high aggro folks could actually be handy on aggro-sensitive fights. (Although I think that Hand of Salvation is a bit more convenient, what with not charging off to the target and all.
Learn to science and stop theorycrapping in its tracks.
Call me skeptical or silly (since I haven't tried it), but I hesitate to spec into Cider's DW spec "just because" it's his spec. No offense, but that's what's implied by many posts these days, that it's "the best choice." I think it depends on each tank's situation.
I've tried it before reading Cider's post (same for speccing into imp rend..)
and it's actually neither brand new (people thought about weird arms specs for tanking during beta) nor "brilliant" - it's number crunching.
DW will increase your overall dmg by ~10% and impale the dmg of most of your attacks by 10% * [crit chance], while the loss of 3 % crit is below 3% total dmg. So i guess it's "proven" to be superior to any other deep prot spec, as there are no comparable talents available. (for example I did 2,5k dps on patchwerk with really low exp/hit and a 143 dps weapon)
The reason why I would suggest arms is simply because you can spam revenge on a 1 sec cd (i'm pretty sure it still doesnt trigger the full gcd)
which provides (combined with the revenge glyph) a simple high threat/dmg rotation that works with ridiculous little rage.(also higher health,etc.)
And no i was not thinking of a (4/15/52) spec when i said "hybrid arms with first prot talents" ;D But I still think it's not necessary to do some hybrid thing because the talent trees are so close together (their effect) that they are all "hybrid" to some extent.
Edit: Safeguard IS useful for saving your tank... with everyone screaming " beat my tps! " it should be possible to use it when your MT is in danger - using it on cd to reduce overall dmg taken is ofc a bad idea, though

Hmm, thanks for the responses there guys--they really help! Sorry for a blanket response, gotta go to work in a few minutes. =p
The last three replies put together a few points that pretty much supports the DW Prot build. Bolstering your own damage output would potentially be more beneficial than spending 10 talent points on Shouts.
Looks like I'll have to try that DW Prot build out after all. XD
I've got more plate than your grandma's cupboard.
I've been thinking over the concept of dedicated OTing for a while, Tristessa, glad I'm not the only one. Currently I'm running a very general spec that allows me to do a bit of everything as needed - although my guild's MT is a protadin, and quite capable of tanking anything he likes, I get to MT on some stuff (Gluth notably springs to mind). Due to this I don't feel comfortable knocking points out of stuff like anticipation and deflection at the moment (though my avoidance on gear should be plenty, really).
I hope to dualspec into a "proper OTing build" when the option is available.. picking up imp demo shout certainly; our fury warrior has commanding presence atm so I don't think it necessary to stack on top of him when he keeps it up very consistently. At one point I was thinking about taking imp charge to help keep my rage up when not MTing (and not required to be joined at the hip to the MT).
A note on intervene/safeguard: I've had a problem with the aggro reduction only once, when our MT was on his DK tank alt and it was a naxx10 when I wasn't paying too much attention. Otherwise, if I check Omen before intervene, 90% of the time I'm safe to blow it every cd. Of course I've had other problems with intervening and general noob moments, but that's another story and not connected to threat/safeguard. Yes, it depends on the tank and the dps, and when a time comes when dpsers are actually starting to close in on us on normal fights, I may indeed spec out of it.
Drowning in Worldie's QQ.
I find warrior the worst "ot" since if there's nothing that hits me, (any kind of adds), I lack rage, revange procs...and my dps is going down.
I think there shouldnt be the "offtank" player.
Just two Tanks capable of tanking all raid content and changing depends on encounter.
I find as a warrior this is the easiest way to OT mobs away from the melee(damn whirlwinding trash killing our rogues, lol).
So depending on how much dps you want to lose you can either choose to go for arms/fury + prot or prot with rage-efficiency talents and glyphs like Glyph of Heroic Strike (decrease of 3 rage on average)
you could also use a slow weapon for better devastate/rend/DW and then switch (via macro after an ability) to spam HS when you have enough rage.
The rage generation while OTing should be smooth enough to do so
Last edited by JackDanielz; 01-08-2009 at 11:35 AM. Reason: typo
If you look through the warrior prot talent tree things get pretty ugly when you have to try to do damage against a mob that is not trying to kill you or at least a "rage battery" trash mob nearby (difficult if your MT is a pally spamming consecrate, etc.. while you stand behind the mob trying to do some damage.)
- Revenge doesn't proc when not getting hit
- Glyph of revenge is less useful for free heroic strikes without revenge...
- Sword and Board procs fewer shield slams due to fewer revenge procs...
- Incite is less effective since you are rage starved and throwing fewer heroic strikes/TC/cleaves.
- Fewer heroic strikes due to lack of rage.
- Fewer ticks from "Damage Shield" procs which also = less Deep Wounds uptime.
- Fewer Enrages from Imp Def. Stance since you are not getting hit.
- Shield Spec - not helping to have shield block rating buffed if you're not getting hit.
.. seems like a warrior that is going to OT and is not running with a group that significantly overgears the content should be pushing to hit the "minimum required" level of tanking survivability and putting everything else from a spec and gear standpoint into maximizing damage in low rage situations where they are not relying on damage reactive procs. Doing the "napkin sketch" brainstorm on how exactly to pull this off right now for next week's Nax run in fact.
** Note that the above experience is based on having only run the Spider/Plague wings in Nax where having two full blown tanks isn't really necessary or practical with our overall low DPS where every point of damage counts. I believe once we have geared up a bit and progressed into the DK/Abomination wing the role of the OT as an actual tank versus a hybrid DPS/tank will become more important.

I did a little testing on a target dummie and i could spam Dev and Shield slam and sometimes even use a HS :P - without puncture and the HS glyph.
I could not test it in raids yet but with +1k ap , +10 % crit, +20% haste and the usual debuffs (and the right talents/glyphs) I am pretty sure one could do a lot more.
Warrior OT on trash = Vigilance on MT/Taunt off whatever you want to fight. Works -great- on the whirlwinding trash in Naxx

Octopus, Common (Tako) – Mauritania, Morocco and Vietnam
Common Octopus are wide-ranging and have short lifespans.
Some populations are declining due to heavy fishing pressure. Most Octopuses are caught using bottom trawls, causing habitat damage and bycatch of unwanted wildlife.
There is limited management and monitoring of the Octopus fisheries in these countries.
Full Seafood Watch species report here.
This fish may have moderately high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury in octopus. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

How can I translate something like the below sentence into Chinese:
I wonder how many people are going to the party?
How can I translate something like the below sentence into Chinese:
Translation from English to Chinese is more a matter of capturing meaning than finding word for word equivalences. In this case, I think the best way to capture "wonder" is by saying "would like to know."
Thus, "I wonder..." becomes "我想知道..."
Translating to "I don't know" (as is suggested by Question Overflow) might be appropriate in some situations. It's not what I would use for your example sentence, but the decision is admittedly subjective.
In any event, here is a collection of example sentences in English/Chinese with the word "wonder."
in your case: 想知道,好奇。
but if this is some information about it you got, 我纳闷儿/我嘀咕呢 ... it is very strange/can't accept estimated answer/or given by others, himself want to know the fact.
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
I always try to use the word I hear most in conversation given a context...
And if that's what you're looking for... I think "I wonder..." by itself can be best described as
If you're trying to describe "I wonder" from a monologuing perspective... you can say:
Or add some colloquial flavor by repeating the verb:
"不晓得" would be quite an appropriate translation for the word "wonder":
To elaborate, "I wonder" has two components to it:
While 不晓得 directly possesses the meaning of 不知道 or "don't know", depending on the tone of the speaker and the statement itself, it can also take on a "curiosity component". Example:
If 我 is added in front, then the whole flavour of the sentence can be changed to a plain "I don't know" kind of statement:
As mentioned in the comments below, whether "不晓得" or "不知道" when used at the start of a sentence can be taken to mean "I wonder". A list of references:
I wonder how old he is.
I wonder if he can.
I wonder whether I might ask you a question.
When in doubt, please don't rely on a single source of references.

Two Men and an Orange
I've recently returned from a trip to the beautiful island of Majorca. I've never had an inkling to holiday there before. I've always stuck to the Canaries where you are pretty much guaranteed sun all week. But after doing some research on Majorca, we decided to go to Alcudia located in the north east of the island. This is an absolutely gorgeous place. Beautiful weather, gorgeous coastline, friendly people and good food. There are markets every day of the week in Majorca and we were lucky enough to get to go to one. It had absolutely everything from leathers to clothes and textiles to fruit.

the yellow army could be in for a few nasty surprises.
i say this because to think that someone is capable of telling so many lies to so many thousands of people over such a long time with the straightest face and without a hint of remorse or regret is staggering.
but do you think this same type of person would really limit their deception to only sport?
or would this type, style and magnitude of deception be present in other parts of their life?
ie: if lance is prepared to run a sophisticated scam to lie/cheat/steal tour de france victories, maybe he's happy to lie/cheat/steal from his charity too?
perhaps he deserves the benefit of the doubt

State of conservation information system
Categories Conservation of Cultural Sites Conservation of Natural Sites Site Management
Article 4 of the World Heritage Convention refers to the conservation of properties inscribed on the World Heritage List and indicates that each "State Party to this Convention recognizes that the duty of ensuring the identification, protection, conservation, presentation and transmission to future generations of the cultural and natural heritage referred to in Articles 1 and 2 and situated on its territory, belongs primarily to that State. It will do all it can to this end, to the utmost of its own resources and, where appropriate, with any international assistance and co-operation, in particular, financial, artistic, scientific and technical, which it may be able to obtain."
As per Paragraph 24 of the Operational Guidelines for the implementation of the Convention , some of the main functions of the World Heritage Committee are to:
- Examine the state of conservation of properties inscribed on the World Heritage List through processes of Reactive Monitoring and Periodic Reporting,
- Decide which properties inscribed on the World Heritage List are to be inscribed on, or removed from the List of World Heritage in Danger, and
- Decide whether a property should be deleted from the World Heritage List.
Paragraph 169 of the Operational Guidelines indicates that " the Secretariat, other sectors of UNESCO and the Advisory Bodies (report) to the Committee on the state of conservation of specific World Heritage properties that are under threat. To this end, the States Parties shall submit by 1 February to the Committee through the Secretariat, specific reports and impact studies each time exceptional circumstances occur or work is undertaken which may have an effect on the state of conservation of the property. "
Monitoring process
As part of the reactive monitoring process for properties inscribed on the World Heritage List and on the List of World Heritage in Danger, the World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies prepare reports on the state of conservation of some selected properties to be examined by the World Heritage Committee each year.
Since 1994, more than 2 000 reports on the state of conservation of World Heritage properties have been prepared and examined. Besides compiling background information on the property and reviewing information from different sources, these reports highlight the factors affecting the property and its Outstanding Universal Value and propose activities to mitigate the threats. In some cases, they also include a set of corrective measures and a timeframe for their implementation.
On the basis of these regular reports, the World Heritage Committee decides, in consultation with the State Party concerned, whether additional measures are required to conserve the property; whether to delete the property from the List of World Heritage in Danger if the property is no longer under threat; or whether it should consider the deletion of the property from the World Heritage List if the property has deteriorated to the extent that it has lost those characteristics which determined its inscription on the World Heritage List, in accordance with the procedure set out in paragraphs 192-198 of the Operational Guidelines .
In the 40 years of existence of the Convention , thousands of such reports have been prepared by the UNESCO Secretariat and the Advisory Bodies to the World Heritage Committee, which represents an exceptional and extensive documentation on various conservation issues, but is very difficult to exploit in its current data recording. It is one of the most comprehensive monitoring systems of any international conventions, through a global network of nearly 1 000 sites.
Furthermore, at its 35th session (UNESCO, 2011), the World Heritage Committee pursued its on-going reflection on the trends of the state of conservation of World Heritage properties and, considering the need for more systematic monitoring of threats, called upon the States Parties to the Convention to support the establishment of a comprehensive "state of conservation information system" to support analytical studies and assist all stakeholders in site-management, with the target to make this system operational, on the World Heritage Centre's website, by the 37th session of the World Heritage Committee in 2013 (Decision 35 COM 7C – paragraph 5 ). To reinforce the need of such database, in its Decision 35 COM 12E - paragraph 13 , the World Heritage Committee requested the World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies to provide, in the state of conservation reports on individual properties, a link to an integrated online database compiling all relevant background information concerning the property (previous state of conservation reports and Committee decisions, Desired state of conservation, corrective measures, International Assistance requests, etc.) necessary for well-informed decision-making, to be hosted on the World Heritage Centre's website.
Finally, in its Decision 35 COM 12E - paragraph 9 , the World Heritage Committee also requested the World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies to develop options to strengthen and improve the state of conservation reporting process, in particular to increase dialogue with States Parties about World Heritage properties facing challenges. The establishment of the proposed information system will definitely increase such information sharing and communication between all partners involved in the sate of conservation process.
At the opening of the 18th session of the General Assembly of States Parties to the World Heritage Convention (UNESCO, 2011), the Director-General of UNESCO officially launched the 40th Anniversary of the Convention , and reminded all parties that the conservation of our common heritage is at the very heart of this nearly-universally ratified convention and flagship programme of UNESCO. She called upon States Parties to the Convention to " ensure that the interest of World Heritage prevails over other considerations " and to make " special efforts (…) during the Anniversary year to get more investments in conservation of our priceless heritage of humankind ". It is also in the dynamic of this 40th Anniversary year that the World Heritage Centre has to embark on such an ambitious project and make those invaluable data available to the world, for an ever-improved conservation of its cultural and natural heritage.
The General Assembly furthermore discussed the evaluation by the UNESCO External Auditor of the Global Strategy and the PACT Initiative, in particular the analysis to refocus activities on conservation (see Document WHC-11/18.GA/8 – Recommendations 15-25: "Restore conservation as a priority").
Objectives of the project
This project aims at developing a comprehensive and integrated computerized information system (database) on the state of conservation of World Heritage properties since the first reports in 1979 and the factors affecting their outstanding universal value: this state of conservation database will be hosted on the World Heritage Centre's website and integrated with its current databases (on Nominations, International Assistance, Tentative Lists, States Parties information, statutory documentation, World Heritage Committee's decisions, etc).
It will be available for all stakeholders of the Convention . The database will be accompanied by a multi-search form (per year, per property, per State Party, per Region, per type of threat, etc) in order to extract the exact set of data required by the users and to produce the relevant charts. In addition to its obvious purpose in terms of monitoring the state of conservation of properties, this information system will highly contribute to the institutional memory of the World Heritage Convention and will facilitate well-informed and consistent decision-making.
This database will also allow all involved to conduct comprehensive analyses of the threats affecting the properties and their evolution over time. These analyses will help identify generic threats, underlying key issues and potential trends over time. They will assist States Parties to improve the mitigation measures to better protect their properties.
This project would not have been possible without the generous support of the Flanders Government and the Convention France-UNESCO. Their continuous support in the implementation of the World Heritage Convention is greatly appreciated.

Black Friday Shopping Tips
It takes quick decision-making to get the best deals on Black Friday. Here, advice from experts at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) on exactly what to look for so you can get in and out of the store — plus a few of our favorite picks.

Food Processors
- Don't buy a super-large model unless you regularly cook for a crowd. However, it is worth stepping up from a mini chopper as a food processor also allows you to slice and shred.
- Look for a model that comes with a box to hold the accessories. It's easy for them to get lost in a cupboard, and keeping them in a box keeps the blades from getting dulled and you from getting cut.
- Avoid buying a food processor without a pulse feature. It can be a valuable tool to prevent over-processing.
- Look for a unit with a feed tube in the front — it will be much more intuitive to use.

The all-new Fusion adopts many of the design cues from the Evos concept that Ford unveiled last year at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Its exterior has a more European look, and everyone loves drawing connections between an Aston Martin and the new Fusion's face, which is not a bad thing.
The interior of the 2013 Fusion Hybrid is now more upscale than before and gets all the latest technology like the SYNC with MyFord Touch system, rear view camera, dual LCD smart Gauge Cluster, Bluetooth and a navigation screen. The Fusion Hybrid is more than just a sedan with green hybrid drivetrain. Ford has also decided to construct many parts of the Fusion Hybrid's interior out of recycled parts. The Fusion's cloth seat surfaces are made with 100-percent REPREVE yarn, which is a hybrid of materials once utilized for industry purposes and materials used by everyday consumers. Cloth-seat Fusion models also contain the equivalent of 38.9 recycled, clear 16-ounce plastic bottles.
Under the hood, the Fusion Hybrid is powered by a new 2.0L four-cylinder engine and an electric motor, which gives it a total 185 horsepower. Ford has also added a new lithium-ion battery, which gives the Fusion Hybrid the ability to travel up to 62 mph in full electric mode. The EPA recently gave the Fusion Hybrid a 47 mpg city and 47 mpg highway rating, which beats out the Toyota Camry Hybrid, one of the Fusion Hybrid's biggest competitors.

Have a question in mind? Here you'll find some of the common questions people ask, and more.
We understand that you use our products around the people, pets and things you love. So, we want you to have the information you need to make the best choices for your family.
It starts with a consumer need or an innovation that we think you might like. We get input from consumers, retailers, suppliers and more. Then we begin the process of creating the product, which includes considering how it will be used, how it should work, the potential product lifecycle and other factors. Using our Greenlist™ process, our scientists select the "best" or "better" potential ingredients for performance, the environment and human health. Then once the product is ready and has met performance and quality standards, our manufacturing team produces it according to the specifications, and it again goes through quality testing.
At the end of the day, our goal is always to give you a product you can trust that lives up to our 125-year history of innovation and quality. To learn more about Greenlist™ click here.
It's our internally developed environmental classification system that we use to help "green" the company's chemistry. Created in 2001, the SC Johnson Greenlist™ process helps our scientists select better ingredients and phase out less desirable ones. When SC Johnson scientists create a new product or new formula, they work to select raw materials with the highest possible ratings. Reformulations must use ingredients that have ratings equal to or better than the original formula. You can learn more about the SC Johnson Greenlist™ process here.
Potentially, yes in our North America products. The EU list is a list of common fragrance components that can potentially cause a skin reaction in individuals who are already allergic to those materials. These ingredients are common components of many fragrances, especially those based on essential oils such as citrus, floral and pine fragrances. Depending on the particular fragrance, our formulas may contain some of these materials. Keep in mind that these 26 materials have been extensively studied. Safe levels that will not result in allergic effects have been identified and are the basis for the IFRA standards developed for all 26 materials. Our fragrances use these materials at the lowest concentrations possible in creating the fragrance, and always below the safe levels established by the IFRA standards.The EU 26 allergens include:
(2E)-2-benzylideneheptan-1-ol (commonly called Amyl Cinnamyl Alcohol)
(2E)-2-benzylideneoctanal (commonly called Hexyl Cinnamal)
(2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-ol (commonly called Geraniol)
(2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienal (commonly called Citral)
(2E,6E)-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,6,10-trien-1-ol (commonly called Farnesol)
(2Z)-2-benzylideneheptanal (commonly called Amyl Cinnamal)
(4-methoxyphenyl)methanol (commonly called Anise Alcohol)
(4R)-1-methyl-4-prop-1-en-2-ylcyclohexene (commonly called (d)-Limonene)
(E)-3-methyl-4-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-yl)but-3-en-2-one (commonly calledAlpha-Isomethyl Ionone)
(E)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ol (commonly called Cinnamyl Alcohol)
(E)-3-phenylprop-2-enal (commonly called Cinnamal)
2-methoxy-4-prop-2-enylphenol (commonly known as Eugenol)
2-methoxy-4-[(E)-prop-1-enyl]phenol (commonly known as Isoeugenol)
3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-ol (commonly called Citronellol)
3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dien-3-ol (commonly called Linalool)
3-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-methylpropanal (commonly called Butylphenyl Methylpropional orLilial®)
4-(4-hydroxy-4-methylpentyl)cyclohex-3-ene-1-carbaldehyde (commonly called Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde (HICC) or Lyral)
7-hydroxy-3,7-dimethyloctanal (commonly called Hydroxycitronellal)
Benzyl (E)-3-phenylprop-2-enoate (commonly called Benzyl Cinnamate)
Benzyl 2-hydroxybenzoate (commonly called Benzyl Salicylate)
Benzyl benzoate
Chromen-2-one (commonly known as Coumarin)
Evernia furfuracea lichen extract (commonly called Tree Moss)
Evernia prunastri, ext (commonly known as Oak Moss)
Methyl oct-2-ynoate (commonly called Methyl 2-octynoate)
Phenylmethanol (commonly called Benzyl Alcohol)
MSDS are Material Safety Data Sheets and they are required by law for chemical products used in industry. Because industry use is different from home use, an MSDS provide details required when products are used at greater frequency, duration or concentration levels than you'd typically use at home – for example if used in large quantities by a business for commercial cleaning, or if being shipped in bulk in a 50-gallon container. MSDS are designed for businesses or emergency personnel who need to know how to handle, store or dispose of products in these situations. While they're not completely applicable to normal household product use, we provide easy access on each product page of this site, for those who want an MSDS.
When we first launched our ingredient disclosure program, we aimed to use a single naming system - the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) - for simplicity. These are terms you're used to seeing on makeup and personal products, so we thought they'd be most understandable for the most people.
However, since the INCI nomenclature is specifically for the personal care industry, some ingredients we use are not on the INCI list. Also, and importantly, we have been working with others in our industry on a Consumer Specialty Products Association (CSPA) ingredient dictionary. It's designed to help everyone in the household products industry use consistent ingredient naming.
As a result, our ingredient names are a combination of the INCI nomenclature and the CSPA dictionary. In many cases they overlap, but where they don't, we aim to use the name most commonly used within our industry or that will be best understood by consumers. An example is how we talk about water when it's used as an ingredient. The INCI term is aqua. We follow the CSPA dictionary and simply call it water.
In some cases, unfortunately, we have to. We have to meet government, safety and environmental requirements for our products – and testing is required by law for certain products – but we're working toward ways to meet these requirements while continually minimizing animal testing. We know some companies say they "don't test on animals," but we're skeptical about that since it is often legally required. A company saying it doesn't test doesn't mean that the ingredients themselves haven't been tested – the vast majority of ingredients used in products will have been tested for toxicity. But some companies skirt this issue because their raw materials were tested by the suppliers they purchase from, or from other suppliers that those suppliers use. At SC Johnson, we care about honesty and transparency in our claims. So, we won't make broad, sweeping claims that imply more than is true. We know some people may choose not to buy SC Johnson products given their passion on this topic. But we hope you'll give us a chance, as we continue to be one of the companies that's working hard to drive advancements in this area. You can read more about our thoughts on this here.
Our products are regulated by many laws and regulations too numerous to list here. The major ones are:
Dyes, preservatives and fragrances provide valuable benefits. Dyes are an important visual cue that helps you know where you're spraying a product and, in fact, that it's the product you intended to use. Preservatives prevent the growth of microbes as products sit on store shelves or in the home, helping the products last longer and perform better, without becoming spoiled. Finally, many people associate a fresh fragrance with a clean and welcoming home, and they specifically seek out products that offer this added benefit.
Keep in mind that all materials are "chemicals" - chemicals are the basic building blocks of everything, including our food, clothing and the air we breathe. For example, water is a combination of the chemicals hydrogen and oxygen (H2O), and air is a mix of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases. Also, there are plenty of chemicals found in nature that are toxic, such as arsenic and cyanide. Importantly, sometimes a synthetic ingredient is a better choice for any number of reasons, including sustainability. For example, using a natural ingredient that's in short supply, such as sandalwood, could wipe out what's left of it. So, using a virtually limitless synthetic material might be more responsible. SC Johnson does use ingredients found in nature, but only when they meet our own standards.
Not necessarily. "Natural" or home remedies are not necessarily safer, effective or lower in allergens. In fact, many natural products undergo limited or no scientific testing compared to the extensive toxicological evaluations that companies like SC Johnson require for their product formulations. In contrast, SC Johnson products must meet or surpass all relevant regulatory requirements in the United States, Europe and any country where the product will be sold.
While some chemicals, such as asbestos and arsenic are very dangerous, or "toxic," just about every chemical has a degree of toxicity associated with it. Take table salt, or sodium chloride, for example. When used sparingly, table salt simply makes dinner taste better. But if you eat an excessive amount, table salt can be a factor in high blood pressure. So is it toxic? The answer is: Table salt CAN be toxic if used excessively, but when used in moderation, it's NOT toxic. What matters is the amount used, or dose.
Both are important, but quantity is key. Think of it this way: Most everyone would agree that water is a harmless chemical. But even water can be deadly if you drink too much of it. The important thing in product development is to select the right chemical to achieve the goal, and to use only the amount that is proven to be safe and effective. At SC Johnson, we aim to use the smallest effective percentage of key ingredients.
This is a great question and you'll sometimes hear about this debate as it relates to chemical laws and regulations. "Hazard" is a property of an ingredient. For example, the hazard from table salt is that it can contribute to high blood pressure. "Risk" is the LIKELIHOOD that the hazard will happen. Using the table salt example, the risk of high blood pressure is low if you don't eat too much of it. So risk is about the degree of hazard with an ingredient AND the dose that a person receives – meaning the amount and the length of the exposure over time. Some people argue that ingredients with any hazard are harmful. But as with the table salt example, often hazards can be easily managed.
At SC Johnson, we take a risk-based approach. This means:
As a family company, nothing is more important to us than the health and safety of the families who use SC Johnson products. That's why we were one of the first companies to make specific ingredient information available to our consumers and why we remain committed to transparent communication with consumers about what ingredients are in our products. We work hard to choose the best ingredients - evaluating them based on their impact on the environment and human health. For our full point of view on ingredient and fragrance disclosure, please click here.
This is a question that's best discussed with your doctor based on your personal situation. What we can tell you is that some allergies – such as to pollen, pet dander and mold – may be positively affected by the use of some of our cleaning products in the home. People with these types of allergies also should not experience allergic symptoms from our air care products. Additionally, our North American fragrances are formulated to not contain peanut or tree nut derived ingredients. However, some individuals may have allergies to certain fragrance ingredients. In these cases, we recommend that you contact our consumer help line prior to using SC Johnson products, and they can help you determine which ones would be best for you. You can reach them at 800-558-5252.
Not in all cases. Products made from natural materials may have more allergens than products made from synthetic materials. For example, fragrances made from natural fragrance materials may contain allergens at higher levels than fragrances made from primarily synthetic materials.
Consumers tell us they love fragrances, because they do so much to make a home special. They can freshen the air, eliminate odors or provide that just-cleaned ambiance that many want. We do make a few fragrance free products for people who prefer them, but most of our testing shows that the majority of people love fragranced household products.
Our exact fragrance formulas are kind of like an award-winning secret family recipe – we keep them in the family because that way no other company can mimic our great scents. But that said, we DO share our full fragrance palette, meaning you can review all the ingredients we might use in a fragrance to look for any that about which you might have a particular concern. And if we use an ingredient you're concerned about, you can call us at 1-800-558-5252 for recommendations about specific products that might be best for you.
While SC Johnson's exclusive fragrance palette has about 1,500 ingredients, it's important to remember that we excluded another 1,500 commonly used ingredients because they didn't meet our SC Johnson standards. A typical oil-based fragrance could have as many as 50 different ingredients; a complex fragrance might mix 50 to 200. Having a palette of 1,500 options gives our perfumers great room for creativity so they can develop the amazing fragrances you expect.
SC Johnson understands that you use our products around the people, pets and things you love. That's why we work hard to evaluate our ingredients based, in part, on their impact on environment and human health, and communicate about them openly. All SC Johnson products that are labeled as "non-fragrance" or "fragrance free" do not contain fragrance or scent ingredients. In a limited number of products labeled as "unscented," specifically formulated fragrance is used to neutralize any smell resulting the product's ingredient makeup to result in a product that has no scent. For more information, please visit the Fragrance section of this site.
No, you can rest assured that we work closely with our fragrance suppliers to ensure that we have evaluated the ingredients in our fragrances, both for human health and the environment. We meet, and often surpass, the regulatory requirements of the countries in which we operate, as well as the standards specified by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA).
Plus, at SC Johnson, we take the review of fragrance ingredients a step further. We evaluate them not only under the IFRA standards, but also under our own standards that may look at ingredients differently. We start with the IFRA list and then apply our own internal requirements. These internal requirements may look at the same criteria as IFRA, such as carcinogicity, mutagenicity or reproductive toxicity, but at SC Johnson, we may take a stricter or different view of an ingredient. In some instances, we may also consider additional factors such as consumer confidence with ingredients or other scientific viewpoints.
Yes, we believe that all our fragranced products can be used safely if used according to label directions. We meet, and often surpass, the regulatory requirements of the countries in which we operate, as well as the standards specified by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA).
Ingredients that are part of SC Johnson's exclusive fragrance palette must live up to the safety standards of the International Fragrance Association as well as our own SC Johnson standards.
Mink oil was used in some Kiwi®, Tana® and Meltonian® shoe care products acquired from Sara Lee. SC Johnson has been working to align the acquired products with its own standards and values. This included the decision to discontinue the use of natural mink oil as an ingredient in these productsMink oil will no longer be used in Kiwi®, Tana® and Meltonian® brand products; however, reformulated products will still provide the same high-quality shoe care performance.No other SC Johnson products include mink oil as an ingredient.
In today's world, we're often told we should always use natural things. From food to clothing to other products, the notion is that natural ingredients may be healthier or help sustain resources and the environment. But surprising as it may seem, that isn't always the case. In fact, natural fragrance materials may be more toxic than their synthetic counterparts.
An example is d-Limonene, which is in many natural fragrance materials and is a component of citrus peels. d-Limonene can cause skin allergies and can potentially be toxic to organisms in waterways, depending on the dose. And many other natural fragrance ingredients have the same hazard. In fact, the amount of limonene in an orange peel is enough to warrant a "Harmful" classification as a skin allergy hazard in the European Union AND a "Dead Tree and Dead Fish" symbol for being dangerous to the environment!
So should the use of natural fragrance materials be avoided altogether? No. But neither should the use of synthetic ingredients with similar or better profiles. As long as a fragrance ingredient is used at an appropriate concentration in a product, there should be no problems with using it. And that goes for both natural and synthetic ingredients.
Phthalates are actually a large family of ingredients that have many uses. Our exclusive fragrance palette does not include phthalates. In 2008, we began requiring our suppliers to phase out phthalates from the fragrances they supply for SC Johnson products.
Parabens are a family of preservatives that are widely used in cosmetics. Some of our fragrances contain small amounts of parabens to preserve the fragrance and formula. While a small number of people have allergies to preservatives – just as some people have allergies to nuts or bees – preservatives play an important role. Without them, many products would not last more than a week or two before being contaminated by bacteria, mold or yeast. So, we believe adding preservatives in the smallest effective quantity makes sense. We only use parabens that live up to International Fragrance Association standards and our own SC Johnson standards.
Glycol ethers are a family of ingredients. While some glycol ethers have been demonstrated to cause reproductive harm, that's not true of the whole ingredient family. SC Johnson ONLY allows fragrances with glycol ethers that live up to International Fragrance Association standards and our own SC Johnson standards.
d-Limonene is an essential fragrance material that is distilled from the oil extracted from citrus peels. Many of our fragrances do contain small amount of d-Limonene. There are some concerns about using d-Limonene because it can sometimes cause skin sensitivity or allergies on contact. d-Limonene is one the EU 26 allergens, which is a list of common fragrance components that can potentially cause a skin reaction in individuals who are already allergic to those materials.
However, consistent with the IFRA standards, we require that they only be used at concentrations that have not been shown to result in allergic responses in people who are not sensitive to these materials.
For many years, musk for fragrance was extracted from the glands of male musk deer. But in recent decades, synthetic musks have replaced natural musks for ethical and economic reasons. Polycyclic and nitromusks are two types of synthetic musks. SC Johnson fragrances do not use nitromusks, which have been linked to reproductive issues. We do use polycyclic musks (for example, Galaxolide and Tonalide), which are commonly used in household products and cosmetics and are not classified as either toxic or bioaccumulative, meaning they could build up in the environment.
That said, some recent studies have detected these polycyclic musks in blood and mother's milk samples. When we see new information like that, we take extra care in our analysis of an ingredient, but we have not yet seen any scientific indication of adverse effects of polycyclic musks at the levels in our fragrances. As in the case with all our ingredients, if new scientific information emerges about polycyclic musks, we will evaluate the science and where appropriate make changes to our fragrance palette.
As in the case with all our ingredients, if new scientific information emerges about polycyclic musks, we will evaluate the science and where appropriate make changes to our fragrance palette.

Time to go, but here are the recipes. Enjoy, all!
- 1½ cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp CardamomPowder
- Sift all the ingredients into a bowl and set aside.
- In another bowl, beat together until well-mixed:
- 1½ cups Mango Pulp or Puree
- ⅓ cup Canola Oil
- ⅔ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a whisk just until you have a smooth batter. Do not overmix or overbeat.
- Divide the batter equally among 12 cups of a standard-sized muffin pan lined with cupcake liners. Smooth down the tops with the back of a spoon or spatula or you will have a lumpy top (it'll still taste delicious, though :) )
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven about 27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Frosting recipe follows.
- 8 tbsp (1 stick) Vegan Butter like Earth Balance
- 8 tbsp Vegetable Shortening
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar (I've seen recipes that use more than 3 cups of confectioners' sugar for the same amount of butter and shortening and if you like a really sweet frosting, you might try adding more. But 2 cups, I found, was just perfect).
- ¼ cup Mango Pulp or Puree
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- Cream together the butter and shortening until they are fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Now add the mango puree and vanilla and half the sugar. Beat until mixed, then add the remaining sugar and beat until mixed. This should take no more than 2 minutes altogether.
- Frost the cupcakes after they've cooled completely.
