One of the triumphs of the information age is the idea of error-correcting codes, which ensure that data carried by electromagnetic signals traveling through the air, or through cables or optical fibers can be reconstructed flawlessly at the receiving end, even when theyve been corrupted by electrical interference or other sources of what engineers call noise.
For more than 60 years, the analysis of error-correcting codes has assumed that, however corrupted a signal may be, the circuits that decode it are error-free. In the next 10 years, however, that assumption may have to change. In order to extend the battery life of portable computing devices, manufacturers may soon turn to low-power signal-processing circuits that are themselves susceptible to noise, meaning that errors sometimes creep into their computations.
Fortunately, in the July issue of IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Lav Varshney PhD 10, a research affiliate at MITs Research Laboratory of Electronics, demonstrates that some of the most commonly used codes in telecommunications can still ensure faithful transmission of information, even when the decoders themselves are noisy. The same analysis, which is adapted from his MIT thesis, also demonstrates that memory chips, which present the same trade-off between energy efficiency and reliability that signal-processing chips do, can preserve data indefinitely even when their circuits sometimes fail.
According to the semiconductor industrys 15-year projections, both memory and computational circuits will become smaller and lower-power, Varshney explains. As you make circuits smaller and lower-power, theyre subject to noise. So these effects are starting to come into play.
Playing the odds
The theory of error-correcting codes was established by Claude Shannon who taught at MIT for 22 years in a groundbreaking 1948 paper. Shannon envisioned a message sent through a communications medium as a sequence of bits 0s and 1s. Noise in the channel might cause some of the bits to flip or become indeterminate. An error-correcting code would consist of additional bits tacked on to the message bits and containing information about them. If message bits became corrupted, the extra bits would help describe what their values were supposed to be.
The longer the error-correcting code, the less efficient the transmission of information, since more total bits are required for a given number of message bits. To date, the most efficient codes known are those discovered in 1960 by MIT professor emeritus Robert Gallager, which are called low-density parity-check codes or sometimes, more succinctly, Gallager codes. Those are the codes that Varshney analyzed.
The key to his new analysis, Varshney explains, was not to attempt to quantify the performance of particular codes and decoders but rather to look at the statistical properties of whole classes of them. Once he was able to show that, on average, a set of noisy decoders could guarantee faithful reconstruction of corrupted data, he was then able to identify a single decoder within that set that met the average-performance standard.
The noisy brain
Today, updated and optimized versions of Gallagers 1960 codes are used for error correction by many cellphone carriers. Those codes would have to be slightly modified to guarantee optimal performance with noisy circuits, but you use essentially the same decoding methodologies that Gallager did, Varshney says. And since the codes have to correct for errors in both transmission and decoding, they would also yield lower transmission rates (or require higher-power transmitters).
Shashi Chilappagari, an engineer at Marvell Semiconductor, which designs signal-processing chips, says that like Gallagers codes, the question of whether noisy circuits can correct transmission errors dates back to the 1960s, when it attracted the attention of computing pioneer John von Neumann. This is kind of a surprising result, Chilappagari says. Its not very intuitive to say that this kind of scheme can work. Chilappagari points out, however, that like most analyses of error-correcting codes, Varshneys draws conclusions by considering what happens as the length of the encoded messages approaches infinity. Chipmakers would be reluctant to adopt the coding scheme Varshney proposes, Chilappagari says, without time to test it and see how it works on a given-length code.
While researching his thesis, Varshney noticed that the decoder for Gallagers codes which in fact passes data back and forth between several different decoders, gradually refining its reconstruction of the original message has a similar structure to ensembles of neurons in the brains cortex. In ongoing work, hes trying to determine whether his analysis of error-correcting codes can be adapted to characterize information processing in the brain. Its pretty well established that neural things are noisy neurons fire randomly
and theres other forms of noise as well, Varshney says.

The word rapture comes from a latin translation. What it is called is not very important but not being left on the earth is.

Two pronged SLA operation thwarted in Ma'nalaa'ru - LTTE[TamilNet, Sunday, 02 March 2008, 16:41 GMT]Six SLA soldiers were killed and 11 wounded when Liberation Tigers of Tamileelam (LTTE) confronted Sri Lanka Army (SLA) from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Sunday offering stiff resistance to the SLA that attempted to advance beyond no-go zone via two fronts at Ma'nki'ndimalai in Ma'nalaa'ru. LTTE Operations Command in Ma'nalaa'ru said that the Tigers also seized ammunitions from the SLA. Ammunitions including RPG shells, one-thousand PK-LMG rounds, one-hundred 7.62 mm rounds and hand grenades were seized in the clearing mission after the fighting, the Tigers said. The LTTE has not issued casualty details of their side. |

text: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PR- 117-09 March 12, 2009 STATEMENT FROM MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON THE DEATH OF LATIN MUSIC PIONEER RALPH MERCADO "The passing of Ralph Mercado weighs heavily on the hearts of the New York's music community. As the son of a Dominican father and Puerto Rican mother, Ralph was a pioneer in bringing mambo, salsa and other Latin rhythms into the mainstream. Today, his legacy can be heard on the neighborhood streets of Brooklyn and on main streets across America. "His achievements in music have left a significant imprint on contemporary culture. Ralph never forgot his Brooklyn roots, and he opened doors and took risks on artists that he knew would contribute to the cultural fabric of our society. So many artists credit Ralph for giving them their first opportunities in the business and launching their music careers. From Celia Cruz to Marc Anthony and La India, New York is a better, more creative city because of Ralph's innovative vision and relentless commitment to music. "My deepest condolences go out to Ralph's wife Cynthia and their five children, Debbie, Damaris, Melissa, Ralph Mercado III, and Chanel. Ralph's spirit will live on through the music he brought to the world." MEDIA CONTACT: Stu Loeser (212) 788-2958 |

Augustin, Thomas (1999): Neyman-Pearson Testing under Interval Probability by Globally Least Favorable Pairs: A Survey of Huber-Strassen Theory and Some Results on its Extension to General Interval Probability. Collaborative Research Center 386, Discussion Paper 172 |
404kB |
The paper studies the extension of one of the basic issues of classical statistics to interval probability. It is concerned with the Generalized Neyman-Pearson problem, i.e. an alternative testing problem where both hypotheses are described by interval probability. First the Huber-Strassen theorem and the literature based on it is reviewed. Then some results are presented indicating that the restrictive assumption of C-probability (two-monotonicity) underlying all that work can be overcome in favor of considering general interval probability in the sense of Weichselberger (1999A). So the full expressive power, which is provided by interval probability, can also be utilized in testing hypotheses.

Geographical Information Systems: An Introduction
Julie DeLaney and Kimberly Van NielThis product is currently unavailable.
"In this new edition, Delaney and Van Niel present the functions of geographic information systems (GIS) with emphasis on concepts, principles, and operations rather than software. The writing is crisp and precise, carefully metering the jargon common in software-specific training manuals....An excellent book for nontechnical GIS managers or for senior members of an organization that uses GIS as a teaching, research, or decision-support tool....Highly recommended."—CHOICE"In summary, this is an excellent starting point for anyone who is starting to use GIS, and a valuable resource for anyone teaching courses on the subject. Even for those who aren't using GIS directly, it is a quick read that provides valuable background on the field to help understand the problems faced by GIS operators."—The Leading Edge

already established elsewhere in the world, while others may look quite different from any existing market or communist model. Some of each group may thrive while others prove unworkable.
The task force began its work roughly at the same time that the initial phases of the transformation process were yielding to later phases, with different goals and emphases, in much of Central Europe and the Baltic states. Initially, the overwhelming priorities were stabilization and liberalization—particularly the dismantling of old controls on prices, trade, and investment. As these measures took hold in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, and the Baltic states, the attention of policymakers and advisors shifted to the much more diverse and complex tasks of creating new institutions and frameworks for effective governance and economic growth, while continuing to keep a watchful eye on macroeconomic management. Elsewhere in Eastern Europe, and in most of the New Independent States, the early phases of transformation, characterized by the struggle for stabilization, liberalization, and privatization, has taken longer and been much less decisive. In these areas, the challenges of designing institutional reforms and creating new regulatory and social-sector frameworks appropriate to mainly market economies will be more difficult, and will have to be tackled simultaneously with the yet-to-be-completed initial phase of transformation.
As more post-communist countries move into later phases of transformation, the policy guidance provided by neoliberal economics becomes more limited and partial. While there are criteria for restructuring financial sectors consistent with the requirements of market economies, there is no single template from which one can draw the precise outlines of any of the components of an economic system (including central banks, monetary policies, investment incentives, monitoring systems, and savings institutions) that will foster both well-being and economic growth. Still less is there a single formula, or even a great deal of technical agreement in the West, regarding how to design new pension or educational systems or the most appropriate labor market institutions. Indeed, many semi-industrial and industrial nations outside the post-communist world continue to grapple with similar issues. Far from being able to apply a well-understood model to achieve predictable outcomes, analysts and practitioners are groping at the frontiers of knowledge, seeking better insights and ways of grasping the complex, dynamic, and interacting processes of transformation.
In seeking to contribute to these efforts, the task force looked for innovative ways to determine what is occurring in these diverse systems, to unravel some of the unexpected consequences of policies, and to trace the strategies and networks different actors are using to cope with the uncertainties of transformation. The task force recognizes that many approaches are useful and that no single approach will be adequate in such a complex endeavor. It has, however, chosen to emphasize one approach in this volume—the analysis of

Really appreciated that.
Too bad I gotta miss my old sec sch classmate's bbq last night, if not it would be a bash. Had a nice time dudes? Think so…
Dad's off for some special overtime work today hadn't been back since. Oh well, that sucks personally, for me even if there overtime. I think I would be dropping by sometime today of tomorrow to get my new electric guitar, hope by brining mum along, she would pay for it as a christmas present *duh, evil me*

The Tribeca Film Festival announced the films of its 2014 World Documentary Competition yesterday. Excitingly, one of the 12 chosen is Ballet 422, the collaboration between Ellen Bar, a former New York City Ballet soloist and the company's director of media projects, and choreographer Justin Peck. Bar's documentary follows Peck during the making of his third work for NYCB, Paz de la Jolla (2013), and is supposed to give the "regular" world a taste of the painstaking but incredibly rewarding process of starting a new dance from scratch.
I hope that normal folk love the insider's perspective, but it looks like there's plenty for us dance experts, too: Peck working closely with the orchestra to bring the classical score to life, costume designers putting the finishing touches on their garments and, of course, lots and lots of dancing. We even get a peek of Peck's "office"—his little NYC apartment. It's like a day in the life of Justin Peck! (Oh wait, we beat 'em to that.)
We're eagerly waiting for a preview of the film. Until then, check out this NYCB video of Peck working with the company during Paz de la Jolla's final stages.

Although significant research efforts have been devoted to develop steganalysis techniques for still-images, video steganalysis remains largely an explored area. In this paper, we investigate how the temporal correlation in the neighbouring frames of a video sequence can be exploited to improve the video steganalysis performance. The reported experimental results indicate that significant improvement in the detection rate, as high as 30%, can be achieved by exploiting the temporal correlation.

is a bystander intervention program that encourages EVERYONE to notice harmful situations around them EVERYDAY, and to take the steps to safely and effectively intervene. TOGETHER, we can create a safe place at UMD and positively shape the culture that we learn and work in. If you are interested in getting involved and learning more, please contact Dori Decker at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Inspired by the StepUp! Bystander Intervention Program at the University of Arizona, Founded by Becky Bell.

In the spring of 2013, UMD's Office of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity sent out a call for grant proposals that would initiate programming on campus that support goal 2 of UMD's Strategic Plan. Goal 2 serves to "Create a positive and inclusive campus climate for all by advancing equity, diversity and social justice". Health Services staff responded to the call with a proposal to bring the StepUp! Bystander Intervention Program Train the Trainer Webinar to campus. The proposal was awarded the UMD Equity Education and Diversity Grant Funds, and on May 8, 2013, thirty three campus community members (students, staff and faculty) attended the training, representing 22 campus units, student organizations and academic departments. Each participant in the webinar committed to carrying forward the message of bystander intervention in the 2013-2014 academic year and beyond.
The primary goal with the bystander intervention program is to encourage "noticing events" and to deliver the tools and strategies that support safe and effective intervention in those events. The overarching vision for the bystander intervention initiative at UMD is to actualize shared responsibility and individual action in challenging unjust and hurtful words, behaviors and attitudes; action will in turn create a safe, positive and inclusive campus climate for all. The path to achieving the vision:
1. Introduction to Got Your Back! UMD and Bystander Intervention
2. Common Barriers to intervening
3. The 5 steps to intervention a. Notice the event b. Interpret it as a problem c. Assume personal responsibility d. Know how to help e. Take action
4. Intervention styles
5. Tips for successful intervention
6. Strategies for intervention (direct and indirect)
7. Scenario/group work
8. Conclusion
The following activities are just some of the examples of what is happening across campus to share the bystander intervention message and to deliver intervention strategies to students, staff and faculty:
Please help us spread the word about bystander intervention by sharing a story about how you were able to help someone, or when you saw someone step up for someone else. We will post the stories on our website. Please indicate whether or not we can include your name with the post. Email the information below to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks for Steppin' Up!

My Team and I were participating in a tournament. The tournament lasted for four hours. By the end, my teammate (who has diabetes, and we didn't know it) was getting really sick. My teammate drove in my car with a throbbing headache. The team captain asked what was wrong and upon finding out sped to the nearest gas station and bought orange juice and tons of crackers with her own money, fed my fellow teammate, and asked for no money in return. It is for this reason I gave my team captain a "Got Your Back" wristband. -Anonymous

Thinking Exercises
"The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the
In this section of the introduction to the Briefs, we have assembled a certain number of materials which have as their goal bascially to challenge the entrenched thinking in our field which has in city after city shown that it cannot deal with the fundamential problems invovled. And because your time is as ever short, we have tried to make this time-efficient, interesting and fun.
As you will certainly understand there is a great deal of professional competence and technical virtuosity that is going to be needed if we are to make the New Mobility Agenda work in any city. But behind it all this sheer technical competence is a critical first step: that of stepping back, looking hard and with fresh eyes, and through this process creating a new vision, a new understanding, a new mental architecture of what mobility in cities is all about.
The truth is that the most important shaping decision in public policy and indeed other complex system decisions tend to be taken at the front end of the process - but as it happens in all too many cases that is exactly where those involved tend to rush to a first level of decisions which very quickly narrow the field both in terms of their understanding of what the basic issues and priorities are, and the different ways in which they can be addressed. They seem all to ready to tick off the solutions before they have fully come to understand what the problems and basic priorities are or should be. This is properly known as the "Ready, Fire, Aim" syndrome.
And in all this the first steps are invariably among the most important - and sorting them out requires thinking. Painful and time consuming though this may be. And as a base for this thinking what must be developed in a wide outreach effort, a full panoply of information and leads as to both what the underlying problems are, and what in turn are the full range of measures and solutions needed and available for dealing with them.
And why in matters of transport and related policies is the initial thinking process all too often truncated. Well, we guess that it's because it's such hard work.
A first selection of some media tools (video clips, audio, other) that are intended to help open up your thinking on all this. As you will see they are intended both to characterize some of the extremes of old mobility thinking, as well as open up your mind to this new generation of policies and measures.
Food for thought. More than one hundred measures, policies and tools which constitute (maybe!) building blocks of a New Mobility System - many of which one-click to various references, starting points, and background materials (of great diversity) to help orient you on those items perhaps not immediately familiar to you.
A collection of more than one hundred essays and extracts from international sources which look at problems and solutions from a wide range of perspectives. Here are a first selection of five challenging entries that you can click to directly from here. To access the full ThinkPad, click here.
This is more work, but if you are looking for expert discussions on a specific issue or problem, it can be useful to spend a few minutes with the good Search function.
Here are a couple of examples to give you a feeling for how you can put this useful tool to work:
We have started to organize a certain number of video libraries as part of the challenge to old thinking and all the problems that go with it.
What is most interesting about them is that for the most part they represent entirely independent "citizens' eyes views" in each case. For now they are organized in four groups, to which you can click directly from here. You will find that each explains itself pretty well in their respective home pages.
To this end one of the main themes behind the New Mobility approach is that we need to learn to look more clearly at what we have, to see it for what it is, and then to see if we can move beyond that to something that is better and more sustainable. The several hundred views of traffic around the world that you have here provides food for thought. Here you will find a selection of real time views of traffic on city streets which provide some pretty interesting one-click coverage of how things look today in a huge variety of settings around the world.
We have two new concepts in a fast changing and increasingly networked world: the New Mobility Agenda and something called the Wikipedia. The two are intercepting in some interesting ways. The Wikipedia is a free-content, collaborative, internet-based encyclopedia, made up of individual (but interconnected) entries. Anyone can create an entry, and anyone else can come along and edit existing entries. The intent is to tap the power of the general internet community's knowledge and the desire to share that knowledge, to build a free, high-quality, comprehensive online encyclopedia. We have been working over the last year along with a number of people including colleagues world wide on the Wikipedia in order to make it into a strong first-stop reference sources for entries on all key aspects of sustainable transportation and the New Mobility Agenda. This has not been an easy task and is still very much in progress, but as you will see it is already turning into a useful reference point for many of the concepts that are key to our shared interests here. Please note that the Wikipedia entries take over the full page rather than popping up in their own window. This is a bit irritating but workable (especially once you know. ;-)

Diverse Groups Support Los Angeles' Occupation
Posted By admin On October 20, 2011 @ 12:56 pm In County of Los Angeles,Featured News | No Comments
Los Angeles-area teachers this week were among the groups to publicly endorse the "Occupy LA" protesters who have been camped out at Los Angeles City Hall all month.
Immigration rights activists have also joined the growing ranks of the Occupy LA protest movement.
Protesters held a march and rally last Saturday in solidarity with a global protest that included numerous cities from across the U.S. and throughout the world. For the most part, protesters expressed anger at the poor state of the economy and the inability of elected officials to turn things around.
However, unlike the most recent protests in the Los Angeles area where the vast majority of demonstrators were Latinos calling for immigration reform, this latest protest movement is diverse in its makeup. Whites, Asians, Latinos, Blacks, Middle Easterners, young and old, college graduates, executive types and laborers are among the group's ranks. Protesters say they are angry about the lack of jobs, their dwindling savings, home foreclosures, higher cost of living, shrinking paychecks and the higher cost of education.
They carried signs vilifying Wall Street financial institutions, corporations and elected officials for creating the financial meltdown that has led to where we are today. While the protest was somewhat organic, allowing for a variety of issues to be included, most protesters complained about corporate greed and the growing income disparity, which they say has led to "the rich getting rich and the poor getting poorer."
Violence and civil disobedience marked some protests in other parts of the country and internationally, but the Oct. 15 protest in Los Angeles was a peaceful event, where people from all walks of life displayed their home-made posters and posed for pictures by media and protestors alike.
32-year-old Erick Gurreola, a resident of Boyle Heights, was one of the protestors who reeked of legitimacy and determination—showers were not available to over-night campers until recently.
"A lot of people are here for a lot of different reasons," Gurreola said, noting that he is protesting social inequality and economic disparity because "not everyone is equal as we are meant to believe."
"Some people have more power than others and they get treated differently and we are not all equal. Some people are suffering more than others. There's no food, no jobs…" he explained.
Gurreola hopes the protest will help bring about changes for future generations. His two younger brothers, ages 19 and 23, are also spending their nights on the South Lawn outside City Hall. They have the blessing of their parents who see it as a civics lesson, Mrs. and Ms. Gurreola told EGP.
Read this story IN SPANISH: Grupos Diversos Apoyan la Ocupación de Los Ángeles [1]
While some visiting protesters on Saturday walked their dogs, Javier Rodriguez, a 24-year-old Cypress Park resident, kept his cat on a leash and nestled between his legs as he sat with friends.
Rodriguez has been camped out at City Hall since Oct.1, and told EGP the protesters want to send a message to the world and to corporations that greed and inequality are out of control.
"We need to reclaim that money back, take it back to our neighborhoods for basic human needs," he said. "I do feel the oppression … I can't afford to go to school, I live on a week-to-week paycheck… that's no way to plan a future," he said.
Rodriguez said the atmosphere has been consistently friendly, with drums often playing in the background. "We are just staying here and helping each other out," he said.
Despite the feelings of camaraderie, the encampment is not a utopia. Rodriguez said participants have had to confront others who have been "out of line."
"We go up to them and confront them about it. We deal with it ourselves so we don't have to get the cops involved," he said.
17-year-olds Ali, a Franklin High School student, and Sara, a student at the Sotomayor Learning Academies, were among the visiting protesters on Saturday who wanted to show their support for the overnighters and to protest the bleak future America seems to be headed toward.
"We feel like we are part of a movement, we want to see that our world is going to go in the right direction," Sara said. "Us, as youth, we are not just going to let it go to waste, we are not just going to let it go into turmoil."

I have a logitech wireless mouse. When I'm running off battery power on my pb, sometimes the mouse doesn't work unless I have it right in front of the usb reciever. When i plug the powerbook into the wall, I usually don't have any problems. But still I have had problems.....could my walls be blocking the signal...I'm pretty close to the wall when I'm sitting nest to my desk... when the computer is not plugged into the wall...are the usb ports not getting enough power to boost the usb recievers signal? Or is it a usb problem where restarting might helP? Thanks |
QUOTE Thanks |
Posts: n/a
I wouldn't think running off external/battery would make a difference to USB peripherals. Have you made sure it isn't the position in which you're working - i.e. you're on a nice level desktop when you're plugged in, but use the mouse on your lap on battery? Also, is it an infrared or RF mouse?
QUOTE Thanks |
Posts: n/a
Ok, so having problems with the mouse still. Usually..like I said above, it works fine when I'm plugged in. Today however, it isn't...so I tried something a little different. I tried making the mouse higher up. I put a couple magazines under the mouse pad. It works fine now...I haven't tried it unplugged from the wall though...but it seems it need a more straight on "view" of the reciever. Though I thought with an rf mouse that it didn't matter as long as you were within distance? because of the way my desk is...my mouse sits about 4 or five inches lower than my computer...this could've made the problem..it seems to be fixed for now..but that is weird...

Kitchen Workplace Safety
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is responsible for enforcing commercial catering health and safety regulations which can cover a wide ranging spectrum of businesses including pubs, hotels, restaurants, cafes, fast food outlets, bistros, contract caterers and others where food and drink is prepared and served for the general public. Many accidents occur in kitchens every day and it is the HSE's responsibility to ensure that regulations are adhered to in order to minimise the risks. Of course, hygiene in the kitchen is also an integral part of kitchen workplace safety but that is the responsibility of the Environment Health Department which will be covered in a separate article contained on this website.
Common Causes of Accidents in the Kitchen
The predominant causes of injury in a commercial kitchen are from slips, trips and falls, manual handling which can result in musculoskeletal injuries and exposure to hot or harmful substances.Slips, Trips and Falls
Most slips, trips and falls in kitchens occur due to wet floors so it's important to wipe up any spillages that occur immediately and to dry the floor. Warning signs saying 'wet floor' and even cordoning off certain areas are actions which should also be taken after spillages or after mopping the floor during cleaning until it is dry. Often, it's an uneven floor or loose or damaged floor tiles which are responsible for slips and trips so it's necessary to keep floors well maintained as well as clean and passageways or any areas where staff might walk should be kept free from any obstructions or obstacles.Manual Handling
You need to pay great attention to things which you lift in the kitchen, especially as certain items can be extremely heavy and/or difficult to manoeuvre. Never push, pull or drag heavy items as you might suffer from a musculoskeletal injury. Where items are heavy, ask a colleague to help you lift them and, if it's still too heavy, use a lifting device in addition to following basic health and safety guidelines on how to lift objects.Cuts
You need to take great care when using knives in the kitchen and also beware of glass objects. You need to follow safe procedures when using knives and other sharp kitchen utensils and when handling items made of glass as both can cause severe damage in the form of cuts.Exposure to Hot and Harmful Substances
Oil and other fluids such as water are commonplace in kitchens and it's important that you take extreme care when working with or in close proximity to hot liquids. Always ensure they are covered when not directly working with them and be careful when carrying any pans or containers with hot liquids in which could splash and scald either yourself or fellow workers. The HSE also publishes safe procedures for things like opening steam doors and the draining and cleaning of fat fryers, for example. Other substances which can be harmful are cleaning materials which, if handled incorrectly, can cause skin rashes and conditions such as dermatitis. Even handling certain foods can cause dermatitis and other skin conditions such as eczema and these are some of the more common causes of absenteeism within the catering and hospitality industry.Other Areas of Concern
The risk of fire is never that far away in a kitchen so it's important that all electrical and gas appliances are fully maintained and are fit and suitable for the job. Proper ventilation will also be a major consideration as well as issues like climbing ladders. Therefore, it's imperative that you carry out a full risk assessment of your kitchen facilities and ensure that they meet the requirements under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998 and that all equipment used is authorised, bears a British Standards Institute kitemark or an alternative equivalent and that the staff who are using the equipment have been fully trained and are competent in using it. Additionally, all equipment which is connected to an electricity or gas supply should be installed by a suitably qualified engineer and be subjected to regular testing by an appropriate professional.You might also like...
@Allnut - I think in this case you might want to give Age UK a call, as I'm not sure this would fall into age discrimination because it falls under the voluntary sector and obviously it is because of health and safety concerns. Please see link here . I hope this helps.

My mother-in-law helps out at many church events and has now been told that the over 80's are no longer allowed to help out in the kitchen! Is this correct?
Allnut - 21-Feb-15 @ 1:50 PM
@shirl - I have included a HSE link here. If you cannot locate the information in the article, you would have to get in direct contact with the HSE as we do not have that information. I hope this helps.

@none - I think the best thing is to direct you to the HSE, if you can't locate what you need from the information on the page, you can contact them via the link here . I hope this helps.

We have recently had a major refit to our kithen at a charity centre where i work
as a voluntere, the eye level grill however seems to high for some of the kitchen
staff to operate.
could you please confirm if there is a legal requirement concerning the hight of the above.
Best regards

Tillyhamm, you can't wear a watch in any kitchen and is correct because it has bacteria, it can heat up and you can burn yourself ect. there are many accidents that it can cause.
lillybub - 10-Sep-14 @ 9:38 AM
I have recently changed my job as a domestic to a kitchen assistant at the residential home where I work. I have now been told by the kitchen manager that I can no longer wear my watch, due to health and safety. I would like to know if this is correct.
Tillyham - 28-Jan-13 @ 5:56 PM
I use a frying pan with a lot of oil for frying eggs,if feel it is not safe to do this,as it could get knocked over, there is no temp control ect, are there any rules governing this?

The Temperature Rises Part One
By Canine 3 Comments
Ottawa, capital city of Canada, a place where Liam Szever thought he would never return to again. With arms raised, he approached the armed RCMP officers that guarded the gated entrance the 24 Sussex Drive. Six of the ten men left their post to meet Liam, their firearms trained on Liam's forehead. "I have an appointment with him." Liam announced, stopping in his tracks and dropping to his knees. He knew the procedure even if he had never experienced it. One of the guards walked around Liam and grabbed his arms, placing them together behind Liam's back. The guard nodded to another who holstered his sidearm and removed a set of handcuffs from a pouch attached to his kevlar vest. He walked around Liam to join his fellow guard and crouched down, placing the restraints on each of Liam's wrists. "Let's go." One of the two guards ordered, forcing Liam back on his feet, and took his gun back out, pressing the end of the barrel against the back of his prisoner's head.
The large metal gate automatically opened as the Liam and the group of guards began to escort him onto the premises. "Understand this freak, you make any type of move other than the ones that we instruct you, I put a bullet into the back of your head. I understand that will only put you under for a while but after we secure your body, we'll remove your heart and cut your head off. Do you understand?" The very descriptive threat was delivered with an angry tone from the man that held his weapon against Liam's head. "Yes, sir." Liam replied.
As the two guards who held onto Liam approached the front door of the four story limestone house, the remainder of the escorts returned to their post at the front gate. The door opened to reveal more guards, these ones wearing heavier body armor and equipped with assault rifles. Their faces were covered with masks and goggles. "We'll take him from here, thank you sergeant." The closest to the door spoke, grabbing Liam's shoulder and aggressively pulling him inside. "He's been compliant." The guard who had threatened Liam responded before he and his partner saluted and walked away.
"When we enter the office, you will be seated at the leather chair that faces the desk. You will be surrounded by my men for his protection. You move at all and you will be fired upon. Am I clear?" Liam sighed, so much inconvenience for this meeting, he thought. "I understand sir." Liam was led through several hallways and two sets of stairs before finally entering the office that the guard mentioned. It was exactly what he had pictured, a large desk and office chair that faced towards a leather chair in the center of the small room. Liam was immediately seated and the guards surrounded him, leaving enough space for him to view the desk in front of him. "Target is secure." One of the guards spoke into a receiver on his wrist. The door behind Liam opened and a pair of footsteps could be heard.
"Liam Szever, welcome to my home. Glad you came." A familiar voice spoke out, as he walked around the guards and took a seat at the desk. "Hello Mr. Prime Minister." Liam replied with a smirk. "You said this was important. So important that you would grant me a full pardon for all my crimes committed on Canadian soil, which I must say whatever this is about, interests me a lot."

Isotope and dissolved gas evidence for nitrogen attenuation in landfill leachate dispersing into a chalk aquifer
Heaton, T.H.E.; Trick, J.K.; Williams, G.M.. 2005 Isotope and dissolved gas evidence for nitrogen attenuation in landfill leachate dispersing into a chalk aquifer. Applied Geochemistry, 20 (5). 933-945. 10.1016/j.apgeochem.2004.12.004
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract/Summary
The authors present data for the chemical, stable isotope (13C/12C, 15N/14N and 34S/32S), and dissolved gas (N2, Ar, O2 and CH4) composition of groundwaters sampled in and around a landfill site in Cambridgeshire, England. Decomposition of 3 × 106 m3 of largely domestic waste, placed in unlined quarries, has given rise to the formation of an NH4-rich leachate dispersing as a plume into the surrounding Middle Chalk aquifer. In addition to identifying zones of methanogenesis and SO4 reduction, the data indicate processes of NH4 transformation by either assimilation or oxidation, and losses by formation of N2. Depending on the mixing ratio between leachate and background water, it may be possible to account for all NH4 loss by combined nitrification + denitrification in a system where there are abrupt temporal and spatial changes in redox conditions.

Activists of the Samaikyandhra Students JAC walked on their knees seeking the mercy of Telugu Talli. Student JAC convener, along with N.S.U.I. Raju, performed 'abhishekam' to the statue of Telugu Talli with milk in Tummalapalli Kalakshetram and then walked on their knees.
The activists fulfilled their vow to the goddess in anticipation that the State would not be divided by the Central government.
Samaikyandhra activists of Labbipeta submitted an appeal to the idol of Shirdi Saibaba in Labbipeta Venkateswara Swamy temple street.
The activists then organised 'Vanta-Varpu' programme and served chicken biryani to people of the area and other activists who joined them to express their solidarity.
The police had to divert traffic on M.G. Road for several hours to allow the programmes of the activists.

I came here to let you guys know, or even maybe you will give me advice, about AMD TressFX in Tomb Raider.
I have HD7870 and play TR on MAX, but in some Close Quick Cutscenes on Lara Head, the fps dramaticly fail about 15-20fps.
I know that this Hair technology is a new thing, and there will be probly new beta or whql driver optimized for this game, but tell me...do you guys have this same issue like me, or my graphic card choking from itself.
Please anwser.
yes it uses gpu to calculate the hair,i play the game with tressfx off and it looks nice,it just needs too much gpu for just her hair,maybe a 7970 it is up for the task or a crossfire config or a dual gpu otherwise it cuts performance down to half.
windows 7 x64/4770K@Stock,Asrock z87 Extreme6/Sapphire hd6970/Corsair 850 tx
It's a huge hit to performance even with two 7970's. Not only does it take up a lot of GPU processing time, it also takes up a good chunk of GPU memory.

The Paradox of 'Fraud-on-the-Market Theory': Who Relies on the Efficiency of Market Prices?Grigori ErenburgUniversity of Western Ontario - King's University College Janet Kiholm SmithClaremont McKenna College - Robert Day School of Economics and Finance Richard L. SmithUniversity of California, Riverside - Anderson Graduate School of Management April 9, 2009 Robert Day School of Economics and Finance Research Paper No. 2008-2 Abstract: Our evidence points to an inconsistency between the efficient markets hypothesis and the way U.S. courts have applied the hypothesis in cases involving allegations of fraud on the market. Based on a sample of securities class action cases, we find that (1) some cases certified for class action status do not satisfy the conditions for even weak-form efficiency; (2) numerous opportunities exist for cost-effective investors (those who can trade quickly and at low cost) to profit by using simple momentum-based strategies; (3)including such investors as class members effectively subsidizes their strategies and overstates damages from reliance on market efficiency; (4) when such investors can profit by rejecting market efficiency, standard measures of damage overstate the fraud-related damage of other investors; (5) because of endogeneity, the factors that commonly are relied on by the courts for determining market efficiency bear little or no relation to weak-form efficiency.

Your Brain on Thanks
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It may not have the cache of winter holidays or the Cash! Yay! of a birthday, but it is the best feel-good holiday of the year. At least it feels that way to me. But why is that? Of all the wonderful annual holidays, why would I prefer a single meal, shared with family, loved ones, and friends? Many of these holidays include similar meals. What makes Thanksgiving different for my brain?

I disagree with this study's conclusion. It's not that I don't believe that low-income is tied to diabetes and hypoglycemia at the end of the pay cycle. I do believe it. But I suspect that these diabetics are eating too much inexpensive high-carbohydrate junk foods at the end of their pay cycle, rather than starving.

Chronic jetlag, habitual night shifts, and rotating shift work, can have deleterious consequences on circadian organization and metabolic health, says a new report in the Annals of the New York Academy of Science. The reason may be the significant crosstalk between the circadian system and the metabolic system, leading to "chronobesity".

AGRP neurons in the hypothalamus evoke eating by suppressing oxytocin neurons. Oxytocin is known as the "love hormone", and so this brings a whole new meaning to the term "comfort food" since the new study result suggests that you can only feel truly touchy feely when your hunger is sated.

Researchers found that the molecular machine that produces a specific type of neuronal cellular membrane lipid, called glycosylceramide synthase, is critical for proper function of leptin receptors in arcuate nucleus neurons.
