Rachel Fleming, PhD candidate in anthropology, will present her research on working women in Bangalore.

U.S. Presidential Election Odds
Here is what we do know about the 2016 Presidential election….Barack Obama will not be on the ballot. Whether that makes you happy or sad, it's a fact. Now, it seems like every rumor in the political world is pointing towards New Jersey governor Chris Christie or Jeb Bush to win the Republican nod in 2016. Hillary Clinton looks to the current favorite for the Democrat presidential nomination in 2016.
(updated 2/5/15)
Hillary Clinton +140
Jeb Bush +500
Marco Rubio +1200
Scott Walker +1200
Chris Christie +2000
Rand Paul +2000
Mike Huckabee +2500
Elizabeth Warren +3000
Joe Biden +3500

Professional Development Program
Logistics Strategies and Networks PDP
Thursday, 09 Apr 2015
9.00am - 4.30pm
Graduation House, 220 Leicester St, Carlton, VIC
This unique intensive professional development program (PDP) examines Freight Network Restructuring and Logistics Strategy and Warehouse Location.
Assoc. Professor Kim Hassall examines the structure of freight networks, what makes good and bad networks. The program has been run internationally and many of the case studies have saved resources for the attending companies. Such concepts as double loop intermodal networks, bi-polar, fork transformations and co-modal terminals will be examined is this short course. As well the applications and benefits of Performance Based Standard vehicles on different networks will be briefly examined.
Dr. David Wilson will present on logistics strategy and warehouse location. Logistics strategy is a complex process that currently is more often than not couched in terms of supply chain planning, alignment and optimization. But a big part of logistics strategy (or supply chains) for any organization is warehousing and transport systems. This course examines in detail the principles of warehouse location and how it relates to logistics and transport. In particular this course examines the relationship between networks and warehouses and shows participants how to design a warehouse strategy that works with its associated transport network. Together, transport networks and their warehouses bring together the essence of strategic supply chain management.

When we got our first backyard hens, we spent countless hours naming them. Like new parents besotted with their offspring, we never tired of telling how we came to christen the birds with titles such as Buffy, Colin, Wally, Kiss and two Nancys (named after our neighbors, the Nancys).
Three years into urban farming, we no longer name the birds. Now we just call them "Chicken." Occasionally, we'll specify "Frizzled." Or "Silky." As in, "Frizzled, stop pecking at my toenails. They're not strawberries!"
It's not that we've lost affection for the poultry project. It's just that we've run out of names. Furthermore, when the birds did have names, it was too heartbreaking when they died. And die they do, in the grasp of possums, respiratory infection, old age, ennui, you name it.
In addition to being an educational and amusing enterprise, chickening can be a morbid business. For that reason, I'd recommend any would-be backyard farmer find a support group — birds of a feather, if you will — to share the trials and triumphs of chickening. Trust me, when you discover that first Tiffany blue egg in your coop, you'll be glad you have an audience that can appreciate the news.
That's why we created the Nashville Hen Chicks, a quirky group of likeminded female urban farmers who gather once a month for an all-egg potluck luncheon, sharing trials and triumphs of backyard poultry. When we are not dining on free-range frittatas and crème anglaise or sharing composting tips and recipes for home-brewed kombucha, we maintain an active online dialogue about our microflocks. Topics range from hawk sightings and varmint control to behaviors such as brooding, venting and henpecking — in both birds and humans.
When my family stopped naming our birds and started labeling them according to breed, I felt a fair amount of guilt about it. Nobody wants to see herself succumb to such blatant species-ism. But a timely email from a fellow Hen Chick reassured me that I was not the only urban chickener to recalibrate my attachment to the food source in my backyard.
This Chick's hens were approaching 2-and-a-half years old. If you are prone to anthropomorphizing, you might imagine women of a certain age, still vibrant and beautiful but declining in fertility. Since urban residents are only allowed six backyard hens, these middle-aged birds were occupying space where younger birds — spring chickens, if you will — could be making the Hen Chicks' breakfast. Consequently, she was requesting referrals for people who might take the perimenopausal poultry off her hands to make room for a batch of fertile pullets. She remembered a conversation at a recent egg potluck, about a woman who "would love to have hens to butcher herself, cook and serve to her family as a special meal." The email asked if anyone had that enviably pragmatic woman's phone number.
This was something to brood about, indeed. This, from the same Hen Chick who, just two years earlier, salvaged vintage French ironwork to construct a coop for the hens she named after her great-grandmothers! Now that her beloved Ester and Lucy were drying up in the egg department, she was ready to give them the hatchet. Not since the third round of Wimbledon, when tennis commentators spoke of 42-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm with unvarnished bless-her-heart condescension, have I heard such blatant ageism.
A few years ago, I might have cringed at the metaphor of it all. I mean, if you can dispatch a barren hen so easily, what does that mean for any of us birds of a certain age when the hot flashes come? But after breaking the news to our neighbors — the Nancys — about a raccoon massacre that claimed their frizzled namesakes, all I could think was at least the Hen Chick's late great-grandmothers will never have to suffer the inconvenient truth about Ester and Lucy à la King. A backyard full of chicken gravestones had really changed my thinking about poultry as pets.
After the ring-tailed slaughter and burial of the frizzled Nancys, my family put a moratorium on the naming of birds and agreed to a two-tiered system of animal treatment. Named pets would require ceremonial interment — shoeboxes, gravestones, maudlin haikus and whatnot — whereas unnamed livestock would necessitate a simple hygienic disposal. That is to say that Lulu, our utterly useless Havanese terrier, will be buried with full honors, while our prolific sex-link layer of the Red Star breed will be bagged and dropped in the Curby on the first Wednesday after her demise. But that's only if we don't manage to locate the butcher woman's phone number.
It sounds brutal, but my fellow Hen Chick summed it all up with great tenderness in her email. "I'm not happy about handing off three hens, whom we named after our great-grandmothers, to someone who'll kill and eat them, but I know that it's the best option, and it really is about the circle of life," she wrote. Then she added, "We're not naming the new pullets — they're just called by their breed."
Well said, my Hen Chick sister. Meanwhile, when your new pullets arrive, I'd like to introduce them to my new spring chicken. We call her simply "Red Star."

we have to following problem. If we export your changes to our development sever the export will not delete any files on the server. And for good reasons we do not want to do this manually. So I thought about to make the directory on the server as working copy to but so any developer has to submit his changes to the repository just for testing his changes. I think this is very unpractical and will make many revision who are not necessary.
So we need the best from both world - so is SVN have the ability to handle it if we export our changes to the working directory for testing and afterward to update of the working directory after our development is finished.
Regards, Marcel

Anyway she left the cap on a fermenting bottle last night before putting on the ghetto airlock(balloon). Needless to say it was blown up like a football this morning! We lucky we didn't have a mess to clean up. Seems to be fermenting happily now.
My question is, will the 12 hours of pressure have any adverse effects on the fermenting or taste etc...
Ghetto airlock:
Lol, yes there is stress put on the yeast when they undergo large ammounts of pressure. But, since you caught it quickly, and the pressure is far less than what you get in a beer or champagne bottle, you should get no ill effects.
Now you've got me wanting to do quick 1 gallon batches. Sounds like good times! Because what I clearly need is more wine in my house. haha.
Motto: quel che sara sara
Its clearing nicely after after about 10 days.

I attempted to install the DarthStalker ROM and something went wrong.
Prior to the install attempt I was running KitKat on UK carrier O2.
I had rooted my N9005, and installed TWRP - I also had a good read of all the information here - and thought I was prepared, but I've been stuck in a boot loop.
I've looked at other threads of the same issue, but nothing has helped.
I'm hoping a fresh and more experienced prospective could offer some hope, or have I just made myself and expensive paperweight?
Thanx in advance.

SANTA BARBARA, CA and SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/06/12 -- RightScale® Inc., the leader in cloud computing management today, announced their expansion into Australia. The entry into the Australian market will provide local sales, support and professional services for the RightScale cloud management platform.
RightScale will bring its expertise in cloud computing to Australian companies looking to leverage the benefits of cloud services. The RightScale cloud management platform enables organizations to easily deploy and manage business-critical applications on public, private, and hybrid clouds. RightScale has more than 60,000 users worldwide and has been used to launch over 4.5 million cloud servers. RightScale powers many of the cloud's largest users with customers such as Sony Music, Pearson, Intercontinental Hotels Group, MOL (Money OnLine) and Zynga.
According to the October 2012 Cloud Computing Market Research Report from IBISWorld*, the adoption of a cloud-computing model is used for achieving economies of scale, enhancing information sharing speed and developing new services. In Australia this year, total industry revenue is expected to be $1.24 billion, up 7.8% on the previous year.
RightScale cloud management provides efficient configuration, monitoring, automation, and governance of cloud computing infrastructure and applications. RightScale provides large enterprises to start-ups with cloud computing management for business agility. RightScale is integrated with the leading public and private cloud providers including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Windows Azure, Rackspace Open Cloud, OpenStack and Citrix CloudStack along with others.
"We're entering the Australian market to build on our success in the APAC region," said Josh Fraser, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Sales at RightScale. "We believe strongly in the Australian market and we've already had early wins with customers. We plan to apply our collective experience from working with both early-adopter and large-scale customers to the Australian market thereby helping businesses deploy to the cloud with less risk and more agility."
"As a modern web-based company we chose the cloud for agility and to handle scaling events. We incorporated RightScale cloud management into our cloud strategy right from the beginning to automate and streamline our cloud deployments on AWS," stated Derek Clapham, Engineering Czar and Co-founder of PhotoMerchant. "We rely on the dynamic provisioning that RightScale provides. Using RightScale gives PhotoMerchant the ability to focus more on the development of our application instead of managing our cloud infrastructure."
RightScale Australia is headed up by Giri Fox, an IT veteran with a background in enterprise sales and client management at leading organizations such as Cisco, Apple and IBM.
"The Australian market is poised for greater cloud adoption. Our entry strategy will focus on companies that range from those just beginning to use cloud services to more sophisticated cloud computing users," commented Giri Fox, Country Manager at RightScale Australia. "The maturity of the RightScale cloud management solution will be attractive to companies that want to leverage cloud computing to launch new offerings, reduce costs or expand their business."
RightScale will be presenting at the Amazon Web Services Event on November 13, 2012. RightScale will lead a session entitled "Manage for Peak Performance with AWS" presented by Josh Fraser. Mr. Fraser will be joined by RightScale customer, PhotoMerchant Co-Founder, Derek Clapham. The event will be held at The Westin, 1 Martin Place, Sydney.
The RightScale Australia office will be located in Sydney. RightScale also has offices located in Singapore, Seoul, South Korea and Tokyo, Japan to serve the fast growing cloud computing market in Asia Pacific.

Margaret Farmakis | January 16, 2014 | Comments
The primary reasons for unsubscribing continue to be frequency and relevancy (too much of the former and not enough of the latter).
While the holiday season is often a time of overindulgence, January typically represents a return to practicality and sensibility (or at least an attempt to do so). This is perhaps best represented by those of us who seek to counter the excesses of November and December with new gym memberships, juice fasts and stricter diet regimens.
The renewed focus on discipline and moderation often goes well beyond health and wellness, with applications to other areas of life that have become unbalanced. Case in point: the inbox. What better way to offset the surge in volume that many email subscribers experienced as part of the frenzy of Black Friday, Cyber Monday and post-Christmas sale campaigns than unsubscribing? Far easier than shedding those extra holiday pounds, opting-out is the quickest way to trim the digital fat.
According to MarketingSherpa's 2013 Email Marketing Benchmark Report, the combined average annual unsubscribe rate as estimated by B2B and B2C marketers is 3 percent. At this time of year, marketers can experience a significant increase, with opt-out rates doubling or even tripling. This is often directly related to the aggressive tactics implemented during the holiday season and gives the phrase "no pain, no gain" an entirely different meaning. After all, it's subscribers who are feeling the pain.
The primary reasons for unsubscribing continue to be frequency and relevancy (too much of the former and not enough of the latter). More than ever, it's important to take steps to mitigate an increase in unsubscribe requests, as well as effectively manage the opt-out process so that subscribers aren't left feeling frustrated with your brand, as well as your email program. Here are some tips for doing both.
Unsubscribe Prevention Tips:
Just as important as the "do's" are the "don'ts," so plan on avoiding these tactics:

Will I regret not getting a steam oven?
that damn steam oven keeps calling to me. We had pretty much decided on the 48 inch df Wolf with double griddle (4 burners). But now I'm wondering if I should get a 36 inch range and the steam oven. 48 in AND a steam oven would be overkill I think. I am so bad at decisions!!
I am an unabashed fan of combi steam. I used mine yesterday to reheat pancakes ( they don't dry out ) , and then last night to make ribs. If you are comfortable with the size of the combi - I would definitely go for it. I haven't looked at the Wolf 48, but would guess that the combi oven is similar in width to the small oven, but probably not as high. You won't fit a ton of food in the combi at once, but since you will have the oven on the 36, that shouldn't be a problem, and I would say go for it.
I have the 48" wolf DF and the combi and most of the time it is overkill. But has been more than useful at other times.
My advice.....hmmmmm. Get the 36" Wolf and the Combi. You won't regret it.
The Combi is my favorite thing in this whole house that we built new 8 yrs ago.
i've asked myself the same thing and couldn't find a steam oven that fit the aesthetic of our kitchen remodel.. Willing to reconsider if someone knows a good option to go over a 30 wall oven with pro-style handles. Are the electrical requirements 120v? Also, could we eliminate the need for a microwave?
Most of the steam combo's can be fitted with a trim kit to go to 30 inches. Viking used to make one with pro style handle, but that has been discontinued. 240 is required for the built in's, other than Sharp which offers at 120 combo - which includes microwave if I am not mistaken. Once you go to 120, you are looking at either a much smaller chamber, or longer cooking times when using just convection - it is operating more like a toaster oven that an electric wall oven at that voltage. It doesn't eliminate a microwave - you will use the microwave less often, but microwaves are much quicker and better at some things than the combi -
Red lover, yes, when the OP mentioned Wolf, I assume that refers to the Wolf combi steam. Gagg, combi, IMHO, is the top of the line in terms of the ease of understanding the controls. While Miele offers just a steam oven, it has recently come out with a combi steam in the states. Thermador also makes one. Sharp has a 120 volt, and Viking is coming out with one as well - in my opinion, they have more in common with a toaster oven than an electric oven like your Gagg.
Love my gaggenau combi steam oven and use it all the time. Regarding your microwave question, I hardly use mine anymore. Defrosting is way better in the combi-steam as is reheating. Takes a few minutes longer than a microwave but much better results. I thaw berries every morning and they come out beautifully, never "cooked" like the mw used to do. I got the smallest mw I could find and would trade it in for an even smaller one if I could find one. The only thing I use it for is an emergency reheat of my tea!
Hey, Miele's combi steam oven will be here in a couple months.... Wont be cheap. Look at their website.... I was quoted ~$3500! Of course this is a full on oven with a steam capabilities and a master chef option. Unlike Miele's current steam ovens (what I have), the water tank is above the cavity (behind the panel) which allows for the cavity to be a fair bit bigger..... As I bought my pure steam unit used at a substantial price, I am quite happy to say the dimensions and hookup requirements will make replacing it down the road with the combi unit a snap.
I have a 7 yr kitchen. Gagg combi and 36" Wolf DF range. I have never needed more burners, nor more oven. I hardly use my range oven unless I am making a huge turkey or holiday cookies. I use the Gagg every day and just got done with making some choc chip cookies! Love it! I don't think you will regret what you don't know. But you will be missing out on wonderful cooking opportunities if you like to cook. I did not stack it, it's midway in a cabinet with cookie sheets and storage above, and cabinets below.
Ditto! love the gaggenau combo-steam! did my kitchen quite a few years ago and it remains my favorite purchase with no problems. I agree with redoing it: with the two, you don't need more. I don't have a Wolf, I have a Blue Star and only use that oven fir large holiday/dinner party roasts or turkey.
I haven't seen it or used it, but briefly considered it when I was searching for steam and convection. I think Sharp makes some great products, especially microwaves, but it is difficult to make a convection oven using 110 volt regular plug that will work like a wall oven - most of the steam combi's mentioned here use 240 volts, and are much more powerful than the Sharp.

A neutron bomb or officially known as one type of Enhanced Radiation Weapon is a low yield fission-fusion thermonuclear weapon (hydrogen bomb) in which the burst of neutrons generated by a fusion reaction is intentionally allowed to escape the weapon, rather than being absorbed by its other components.[3] The weapon's radiation case, usually made from relatively thick uranium, lead or steel in a standard bomb, are instead made of as thin a material as possible to facilitate the greatest escape of fusion produced neutrons. The "usual" nuclear weapon yield—expressed as kilotons of TNT equivalent—is not a measure of a neutron weapon's destructive power. It refers only to the energy released (mostly heat and blast), and does not express the lethal effect of neutron radiation on living organisms.
Compared to a pure fission bomb with an identical explosive yield, a neutron bomb would emit about ten times[4] the amount of neutron radiation. In a fission bomb at sea level, the total radiation pulse energy which is composed of both gamma rays and neutrons is approximately 5% of the entire energy released; in the neutron bomb it would be closer to 40%. Furthermore, the neutrons emitted by a neutron bomb have a much higher average energy level (close to 14 MeV) than those released during a fission reaction (1–2 MeV).[5] Technically speaking, all low yield nuclear weapons are radiation weapons, that is including the non-enhanced variant. Up to about 10 kilotons in yield, all nuclear weapons have prompt neutron radiation[6] as their most far reaching lethal component, after which point the lethal blast and thermal effects radius begins to out-range the lethal ionizing radiation radius.[7][8][9] Enhanced radiation weapons also fall into this same yield range and simply enhance the intensity and range of the neutron dose for a given yield.
Conception of the neutron bomb is generally credited to Samuel T. Cohen of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, who developed the concept in 1958.[10] Testing was authorized and carried out in 1963 at an underground Nevada test facility.[11] Development was subsequently postponed by President Jimmy Carter in 1978 following protests against his administration's plans to deploy neutron warheads to ground forces in Europe.[12] On November 17, 1978, in a test the USSR detonated its first similar-type bomb.[13] President Ronald Reagan restarted production in 1981.[12] The Soviet Union began a propaganda campaign against the US's neutron bomb in 1981 following Reagan's announcement. In 1983 Reagan then announced the Strategic Defense Initiative, which surpassed neutron bomb production in ambition and vision and with that the neutron bomb quickly faded from the center of the public's attention.[13]
Three types of enhanced radiation weapons (ERW) were built by the United States.[14] The W66 warhead, for the anti-ICBM Sprint missile system, was deployed in 1975 and retired the next year, along with the missile system. The W70 Mod 3 warhead was developed for the short-range, tactical Lance missile, and the W79 Mod 0 was developed for artillery shells. The latter two types were retired by President George H. W. Bush in 1992, following the end of the Cold War.[15][16] The last W70 Mod 3 warhead was dismantled in 1996,[17] and the last W79 Mod 0 was dismantled by 2003, when the dismantling of all W79 variants was completed.[18]
Besides the United States and Soviet Union, France and China are understood to have tested neutron or enhanced radiation bombs in the past, with France apparently leading the field with an early test of the technology in 1967[19] and an "actual" neutron bomb in 1980.[20] The 1999 Cox Report indicates that China is able to produce neutron bombs.[21] Although no country is currently known to deploy them in an offensive manner, all thermonuclear dial-a-yield warheads that have about 10 kiloton and lower as one dial option, with a considerable fraction of that yield derived from fusion reactions, can be considered capable of being neutron bombs in actuality if not in name. The only country definitively known to deploy dedicated (that is, not Dial-a-yield) neutron warheads for any length of time is Russia, which inherited the USSRs neutron warhead equipped ABM-3 Gazelle missile program, this Anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system contains at least 68 neutron warheads of yield 10 kiloton and it has been in service since 1995, with inert missile testing approximately every other year since then (2014). The system is designed to destroy incoming "endo-atmospheric" level nuclear warheads aimed at Moscow etc. and is the lower-tier/ last umbrella of the A-135 anti-ballistic missile system (NATO reporting name: ABM-3).[22]
By 1984, according to Mordechai Vanunu, Israel was mass-producing neutron bombs.[23] A number of analysts believe that the Vela incident was an Israeli neutron bomb experiment.[24]
Considerable controversy arose in the U.S. and Western Europe, following a June 1977 Washington Post exposé describing U.S. government plans to purchase the bomb. The article focused on the fact that it was the first weapon specifically intended to kill humans with radiation.[25][26] Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory director Harold Brown and Soviet General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev both described the neutron bomb as a "capitalist bomb", because it was designed to destroy people while preserving property.[27][28] Science fiction author Isaac Asimov also stated that "Such a neutron bomb or N bomb seems desirable to those who worry about property and hold life cheap."[29]
Neutron bombs are purposely designed with explosive yields lower than other nuclear weapons. Since neutrons are absorbed by air,[6] neutron radiation effects drop off very rapidly with distance in air, there is a sharper distinction, as opposed to thermal effects, between areas of high lethality and areas with minimal radiation doses.[3] All high yield (more than ~10 kiloton) "neutron bombs", such as the extreme example of a device that derived 97% of its energy from fusion, the 50 megaton Tsar Bomba, are not able to radiate sufficient neutrons beyond their lethal blast range when detonated as a surface burst or low altitude air burst and so are no longer classified as neutron bombs, thus limiting the yield of neutron bombs to a maximum of about 10 kilotons. The intense pulse of high-energy neutrons generated by a neutron bomb are the principal killing mechanism, not the fallout, heat or blast.
The inventor of the neutron bomb, Samuel Cohen, criticized the description of the W70 as a "neutron bomb" since it could be configured to yield 100 kilotons:
the W-70 ... is not even remotely a "neutron bomb." Instead of being the type of weapon that, in the popular mind, "kills people and spares buildings" it is one that both kills and physically destroys on a massive scale. The W-70 is not a discriminate weapon, like the neutron bomb—which, incidentally, should be considered a weapon that "kills enemy personnel while sparing the physical fabric of the attacked populace, and even the populace too."[30]
Although neutron bombs are commonly believed to "leave the infrastructure intact", with current designs that have explosive yields in the low kiloton range,[32] the detonation of which, in a built up area, would still cause considerable, although not total, destruction through blast and heat effects out to a considerable radius.[33]
Neutron bombs could be used as strategic anti-ballistic missile weapons,[33] or as tactical weapons intended for use against armored forces. The neutron bomb was originally conceived by the U.S. military as a weapon that could stop massed Soviet armored divisions from overrunning allied nations without destroying the infrastructure of the allied nation.[34][35] As the Warsaw Pact tank strength was over twice that of NATO, and Soviet Deep Battle doctrine was likely to be to use this numerical advantage to rapidly sweep across continental Europe if the Cold War ever turned hot, any weapon that could break up their intended mass tank formation deployments and force them to deploy their tanks in a thinner, more easily dividable manner,[36] would aid ground forces in the task of hunting down solitary tanks and firing anti-tank missiles upon them,[37] such as the contemporary M47 Dragon and BGM-71 TOW missiles.
Upon detonation, a 1 kiloton neutron bomb near the ground, in an airburst would produce a large blast wave, and a powerful pulse of both thermal radiation and ionizing radiation, mostly in the form of fast (14.1 MeV) neutrons. The thermal pulse would cause third degree burns to unprotected skin out to approximately 500 meters. The blast would create at least 4.6 PSI out to a radius of 600 meters, which would severely damage all non-reinforced concrete structures, at the conventional effective combat range against modern main battle tanks and armored personnel carriers (<690–900 m) the blast from a 1 kt neutron bomb will destroy or damage to the point of non-usability almost all un-reinforced civilian building. Thus the use of neutron bombs to stop an enemy armored attack by rapidly incapacitating the crew with a dose of 8000+ Rads of radiation,[38] which would require exploding large numbers of them to blanket the enemy forces, would also destroy all normal civilian buildings in the same immediate area ~600 meters,[38][39] and via neutron activation it would make many building materials in the city radioactive, such as Zinc coated steel/galvanized steel(see Area denial use below). Although at this ~600 meter distance the 4-5 PSI blast overpressure would cause very few direct casualties as the human body is resistant to sheer overpressure, the powerful winds produced by this overpressure are capable of throwing human bodies into objects or throwing objects-including window glass at high velocity, both with potentially lethal results, rendering casualties highly dependent on surroundings, including on if the building they are in collapses.[40] The pulse of neutron radiation would cause immediate and permanent incapacitation to unprotected outdoor humans in the open out to 900 meters,[4] with death occurring in one or two days. The lethal dose(LD50) of 600 Rads would extend to about 1350–1400 meters for those unprotected and outdoors,[38] where approximately half of those exposed would die of radiation sickness after several weeks.
However a human residing within, or is simply shielded by at least 1 of the aforementioned concrete buildings with walls and ceilings 30 centimeters/12 inches thick, or alternatively of damp soil 24 inches thick, the neutron radiation exposure would be reduced by a factor of 10.[41][42]
Furthermore the neutron absorption spectra of air is disputed by some authorities and depends in part on absorption by hydrogen from water vapor. It therefore might vary exponentially with humidity, making neutron bombs immensely more deadly in desert climates than in humid ones.[38]
The questionable effectiveness of ER weapons against modern tanks is cited as one of the main reasons that these weapons are no longer fielded or stockpiled. With the increase in average tank armor thickness since the first ER weapons were fielded, tank armor protection approaches the level where tank crews are now almost completely protected from radiation effects. Therefore for an ER weapon to incapacitate a modern tank crew through irradiation, the weapon must now be detonated at such a close proximity to the tank that the nuclear explosion's blast would now be equally effective at incapacitating it and its crew.[43] However this assertion was regarded as dubious in a reply in 1986 [3] by a member of the Royal Military College of Science as neutron radiation from a 1 kiloton neutron bomb would incapacitate the crew of a tank with a Protection Factor of 35 out to a range of 280 meters, but the incapacitating blast range, depending on the exact weight of the tank, is much less, from 70 to 130 meters. However although the author did note that effective neutron absorbers and neutron poisons such as Boron carbide can be incorporated into conventional armor and strap on neutron moderating hydrogenous material (hydrogen atom containing substances), such as Explosive Reactive Armor can both increase the protection factor, the author holds that in practice combined with neutron scattering, the actual average total tank area protection factor is rarely higher than 15.5 to 35.[44] According to the Federation of American Scientists, the neutron protection factor of a "tank" can be as low as 2,[2] without qualifying the tank statement is for a light tank(tankette) or medium tank/main battle tank.
A composite high density concrete, or alternatively, a laminated Graded Z shield, 24 units thick of which 16 units are iron and 8 units are polyethylene containing boron (BPE) and additional mass behind it to attenuate neutron capture gamma rays is more effective than just 24 units of pure iron or BPE alone, due to the advantages of both iron and BPE in combination. Iron is effective in slowing down/scattering high-energy neutrons in the 14-MeV energy range and attenuating gamma rays, while the hydrogen in polyethylene is effective in slowing down these now slower fast neutrons in the few MeV range, and boron 10 has a high absorption cross section for thermal neutrons and a low production yield of gamma rays when it absorbs a neutron.[45][46][47][48] The Soviet T72 tank, in response to the neutron bomb threat, is cited as having fitted a boronated,[49] polyethylene liner, which has had its neutron shielding properties simulated.[42][50]
However as some tank armor material contains depleted uranium(DU), common in the US's M1A1 Abrams tank, which "incorporates steel-encased depleted uranium armour",[51] a substance that will fast fission when it captures a fast, fusion generated neutron, and therefore upon fissioning it will produce fission neutrons and fission products embedded within the armor, products which emit amongst other things, penetrating gamma rays. Although the neutrons emitted by the neutron bomb may not penetrate to the tank crew in lethal quantities, the fast fission of DU within the armor could still ensure a lethal environment for the crew and maintenance personnel by fission neutron and gamma ray exposure,[52] largely depending on the exact thickness and elemental composition of the armor - information usually hard to attain. Despite this, DUCRETE - which has an elemental composition similar to, but not identical to the ceramic 2nd generation heavy metal Chobham armor of the Abrams tank- DUCRETE is an effective radiation shield, to both fission neutrons and gamma rays due to it being a graded Z material.[53][54] Uranium being about twice as dense as lead is thus nearly twice as effective at shielding gamma ray radiation per unit thickness.[55]
As an anti-ballistic missile weapon, the first fielded ER warhead, the W66, was developed for the Sprint missile system as part of the Safeguard Program to protect United States cities and missile silos from incoming Soviet warheads by damaging their electronic components with the intense neutron flux.[33] Ionization greater than 5,000 rads in silicon chips delivered over seconds to minutes will degrade the function of semiconductors for long periods.[56] Due to the rarefied atmosphere encountered high above the earth at the most likely intercept point of an incoming warhead by a neutron bomb/warhead, whether it be the retired Sprint missile's W66 neutron warhead or the still in service Russian counterpart, the ABM-3 Gazelle, at the Terminal phase point(10–30 km) of the incoming warheads flight, the neutrons generated by a Mid to High-altitude nuclear explosion(HANE) have an even greater range than that encountered after a low altitude air burst, where there is a lower density of air molecules that produces, by comparison, an appreciable reduction in the air shielding effect/half-value thickness.
However, although this neutron transparency advantage attained only increases at increased altitudes, neutron effects lose importance in the exoatmospheric environment, being overtaken by the range of another effect of a nuclear detonation, at approximately the same altitude as the end of the incoming missile's boost phase(~150 km), ablation producing soft x-rays are the chief nuclear effects threat to the survival of incoming missiles and warheads rather than neutrons.[57] A factor exploited by the other warhead of the Safeguard Program, the enhanced (X-ray) radiation W71 and its USSR/Russian counterpart, the warhead on the A-135 Gorgon missile.
Another method by which neutron radiation can be used to destroy incoming nuclear warheads is by serving as an intense neutron generator and to thus initiate fission in the incoming warheads fissionable components by fast fission, potentially causing the incoming warhead to prematurely detonate in a Fizzle if within sufficient proximity, but in most likely interception ranges, requiring only that enough fissionable material in the warhead fissions to interfere with the functioning of the incoming warhead when it is later fuzed to explode(see related physics:Subcritical reactor).
Lithium-6 Hydride("Li6H") is cited as being used as a countermeasure to reduce the vulnerability/"harden" nuclear warheads from the effects of externally generated neutrons.[58][59] Radiation hardening of the warheads electronic components as a countermeasure to high altitude neutron warheads, somewhat reduces the range that a neutron warhead could successfully cause an unrecoverable glitch by the TREE(Transient Radiation effects on Electronics) mechanism.[60][61]
In November 2012, during the planning stages of Operation Hammer of God, it was suggested that multiple enhanced radiation reduced blast (ERRB) warheads could be detonated in the mountain region of the Afghanistan/Pakistan border to prevent infiltration.[62] He proposed to warn the inhabitants to evacuate, then irradiate the area, making it unusable and impassable.[63] Used in this manner, the neutron bomb(s), regardless of burst height, would release neutron activated casing materials used in the bomb, and depending on burst height, create radioactive soil activation products.
In much the same fashion as the area denial effect resulting from fission product (the substances that make up the majority of fallout) contamination in an area following a conventional surface burst nuclear explosion, as considered in the Korean War by Douglas MacArthur, it would thus be a form of Radiological warfare. With the difference with that of neutron bombs producing 1/2, or less, of the quantity of fission products when compared to the same yield pure fission bomb. Radiological warfare with neutron bombs that rely on fission primaries would therefore still produce fission fallout, albeit a comparatively "cleaner" and shorter lasting version of it in the area if air bursts were utilized, as little to no fission products would be deposited on the direct immediate area, instead becoming diluted global fallout.
However the most effective use of a neutron bomb with respect to area denial would be to encase it in a thick shell of material that could be neutron activated, and use a surface burst. In this manner the neutron bomb would be turned into a "salted bomb", a case of Zinc-64, produced as a byproduct of depleted zinc oxide enrichment, would for example probably be the most attractive from a military point of view, as when activated the Zinc-65 that is created is a gamma emitter, with a half life of 244 days.[64]
Neutron bombs/warheads require considerable maintenance for their capabilities, requiring some tritium for fusion boosting[citation needed] and tritium in the secondary stage (yielding more neutrons), in amounts on the order of a few tens of grams[65] (10–30 grams[66] estimated). Because tritium has a relatively short half-life of 12.32 years (after that time, half the tritium has decayed), it is necessary to replenish it periodically in order to keep the bomb effective. (For instance: to maintain a constant level of 24 grams of tritium in a warhead, about 1 gram per bomb per year[67] must be supplied.) Moreover, tritium decays into helium-3, which absorbs neutrons[68] and will thus further reduce the bomb's neutron yield.
After the war, he joined the RAND Corporation and in 1958 designed the neutron bomb as a way to strike a cluster of enemy forces while sparing infrastructure and distant civilian populations.
Jimmy Carter's successor, Ronald Reagan, changed US policy and gave the order for the production of neutron warheads to start in 1981. ...
With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of communism as we knew it, the Bush administration moved to dismantle all of our tactical nuclear weapons, including the Reagan stockpile of neutron bombs. In Cohen's mind, America was brought back to Square One. Without tactical weapons like the neutron bomb, America would be left with two choices if an enemy was winning a conventional war: surrender, or unleash the holocaust of strategic nuclear weapons.
Nuclear weapon-generated X-rays are the chief threat to the survival of strategic missiles in-flight above the atmosphere and to satellites...The Neutron and gamma ray effects dominate at lower altitudes where the air absorbs most of the X-rays.
Due to moderating ability and light weight, used to harden weapons against outside neutron fluxes (especially in combination with Li-6)...The very high cross section of this reaction for thermalized neutrons, combined with the light weight of the Li-6 atom, make it useful in the form of lithium hydride for hardening of nuclear weapons against external neutron fluxes.
The fact that Li6H is used in unspecified weapons for hardening

The WEN® Replenishing Treatment Mist can also be used for extra hydration to refresh the face and/or set make-up, and it is also very beneficial as a moisturizing spray on the body.
