There are a bunch smart ideas in Vista, and Readyboost seems to be a favorite with a lot of people: extend memory by using USB "key" / "Stick" "Thumb drive" (what are we meant to call these things). Of course since it can be pulled out at any time it can't be used like normal RAM, and it works as a disk cache (hand in glove with "Superfetch")
Put Vista Readyboost into a search engine, an entry on Tom Archer's blog will be pretty near the top. Tom has a FAQ sheet with answers from Matt Ayers (the "feature owner" for Readyboost), and the very first question is
Q. What perf do you need on your device?A: 2.5MB/sec throughput for 4K random reads and 1.75MB/sec throughput for 512K random writes
It's a great article, but it doesn't say HOW you measure it. Vista has a command-line "System Assessment Tool" called WINSAT. It gives access to the same performance and user experience data that you see in control Panel - but it's not the greatest tool when it comes to being self explanatory. People like Daniel have done a better job explaining how to call the API than we've done of publishing information on the command line tool: the best I've found was posted here during the Beta one stage of Vista. The commands to run for disk benchmarking to see if a device meets the Readyboost test are:winsat disk –read –ran –ransize 4096 –drive D andwinsat disk –write –ran –ransize 524288 –drive D
Substitute D for the letter of your drive without the colon; the second command takes several minutes to run, the first only a few seconds. You can specify -IOCount xx to reduce the number of operations to xx and speed up the process. The default seems to be about 4000 in the release build of Vista. You can test sequential as well as random writes using by substituting seq and seqsize for ran and ransize.
One very dull evening over the holiday period I did a rough and ready comparison of a few of my memory devices and readers, using the Readyboost tests and sequential tests with the same sizes. It's dangerous to extrapolate from an arbitrary test like this - I'm not quoting my numbers because the time to do a 4K sequential read or 512K sequential write doesn't tell me how long it will take to do something in the real world, like save or transfer pictures. It's doubly dangerous for me to do it as it becomes "someone from Microsoft said", so with the caveats that this isn't a rigorous test and your mileage will vary, I have drawn a few conclusions:
There's a pretty clear message here for laptop users. If you have an unused SD slot put a 1GB card in it, configure it all for ready boost and forget it. It will cost about £10 + VAT, for a noticeable performance improvement.
Update. Thanks to Blake Handler who pointed out that my US colleague Kurt Shintaku has a list of devices people have tried with ready boost.

Manny apologizes before 'showtime'
Updated: July 4, 2009, 2:35 AM ETESPN.com news services
SAN DIEGO -- Manny Ramirez returned to the big leagues as only he could.
Wearing sunglasses and with his famous dreadlocks in a ponytail, the Los Angeles Dodgers' slugger apologized to fans and teammates during a news conference Friday afternoon. He refused to answer questions about steroids, laying off them as if they were pitches in the dirt.
"I'm here. I'm excited. I can't wait to get into the field," Ramirez said as his 50-game suspension for violating baseball's drug policy ended.

Newhall Land recently released their newest marketing campaign aimed at increasing residency in Valencia.
The new campaign, launched in mid February, is called Awesometown. It has been featured in print ads, billboards, bus wraps and is the central theme of the Valencia website.
"We went out and talked to a lot of people about what they thought about living in Valencia," said Marlee Lauffer, Senior VP of Marketing and Communications for Newhall Land. "Literally the word that kept coming up was 'awesome'. So we decided to make it a really fun campaign and call Valencia, Awesometown."
Lauffer says the goal of the campaign is to raise awareness about the master planned community of Valencia and to help support Lennar Homes.
The new direction seems to be working, with Newhall Land reporting a significant increase in the number of hits on their website since the campaign started, and Lennar has seen an increase in traffic at their Newhall sales office.

At this point in the school year, students and teachers have completed the first round of benchmark assessments and eagerly anticipate the holiday season. These assessments are aligned with what students are expected to know and adequately perform at this stage of the grading period. Results from the benchmarks are being analyzed to develop intervention plans for students who are struggling, and to provide enrichment for students who are high achievers. The results also give school officials an early, proactive look at where individual schools and the school district as a whole are performing.We know that in order to continuously improve student achievement results we must improve the processes that create the results. To know what to improve, we must analyze relevant data. Through the implementation of this concept, our teachers give feedback, set objectives, help students summarize and tie learning to the performance standards. Teachers also track student performance data, while students begin to monitor a portion of their own data. As author Jane Pollock describes in "Improving Student Learning One Teacher at a Time," we are interested in making the right adjustments in four critical areas of practice: · Create a classroom curriculum implementation process that incorporates rigorous concepts and procedures; · plan instruction that is focused on helping students become master learners who can apply information and skills; · design varied classroom assessments that yield evidence of mastery and pinpoint where further instruction is required; and · use feedback to improve individual student achievement and refine instruction. We look forward to the holiday break to reenergize our students, faculty, staff and parents for a successful second half of the school year. I personally wish each of you a safe and joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!

The bushfires that tore through the Australian state of Victoria in February 2009 incinerated over a million acres of land, including key mountain ash forest ecosystems. Fires are a natural force of nature which spur regeneration, but the immediate aftermath of this giant firestorm was devastation. Kangaroos and koalas, wombats and wallabies, endangered possums and gliders, lizards, echidnas, birds of all kinds, and even fish that lived among these eucalypts were overcome by the flames. Millions died. But burned and traumatized survivors tenderly nursed back to health at wildlife hospitals showed a remarkable ability to bounce back, and the environment an extraordinary capacity for healing.

Before World War II, war reporting was considered No Job For a Woman. But when the United States entered the war, American women reporters did not want to miss covering the biggest story of the century so they fought for and won access. But there was a catch: women reporters would be banned from the frontlines, prevented from covering front page stories about generals and battlefield maneuvres, and assigned "woman's angle" stories about nurses and female military personnel. Several women reporters refused to abide by these journalistic conventions and military restrictions and, instead, brought home a new kind of war story: one that was more intimate yet more revealing. They reached beyond the battlefield and deep into human lives to tell a new story of war.

Women account for roughly 14 percent of the active-duty U.S. military and more than 24 percent of the National Guard, yet they often receive less than a hero's welcome upon their return to civilian life. Many face poverty, homelessness and joblessness; deal with the psychological and physiological effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from military sexual trauma and combat-related injuries; and often receive poor service from a Veterans Administration ill-equipped and, in some cases, unwilling to help them. The Emmy®-nominated documentary WAR ZONE/COMFORT ZONE uncovers the plight of these veterans through the intense and personal stories of four women veterans coping with life after their military service. Each seeks a sense of normalcy and peace without the benefit of a comprehensive support system. WAR ZONE/COMFORT ZONE weaves together intimate interviews with the story of two women — Shalini Madaras and Joy Kiss — struggling to establish transitional housing for homeless female veterans in Bridgeport, Connecticut, despite virulent community opposition.

If other black boys become used to grand jury decisions like this one, how can they -- or their families and friends -- ever hope to rekindle trust in American justice or democracy? If teenagers know only cynicism of the system that is supposed to protect them, both they and the greater society lose.
As my partner and I are both attorneys who work on and in support of public education, private school was not an option for us, so we decided to look for homes further out but with highly rated public schools. At the risk of sounding naïve, I was wholly unprepared for the reality that came with prioritizing high-quality public schools in my home search.
I love you already more than you'll ever know, and you're not even here yet. At the same time, I'm terrified to bring you into this world. Today, as generations before me have done, I will continue to hold on to hope. I will continue to believe that we can and will survive this blatant assault to our identity.

Acura Debuts 2014 RLX Sedan at Los Angeles Auto Show
All-new flagship sedan showcases signature new Acura technologies; boasts class-leading fuel-efficiency, handling agility and rear-seat legroom
Acura took the wraps off its all-new 2014 RLX luxury-performance sedan – the most powerful, spacious, and technologically advanced Acura sedan, ever. In keeping wîth the Man-Machine Synergy direction of the Acura brand, the RLX utilizes an all-new direct-injection engine, lightweight body structure, and the first-ever application of Acura Precision All-Wheel Steer™ to deliver a new and dynamic driving experience unlike that of any other luxury performance sedans. The next-generation AcuraLink® cloud-based connected car system makes its debut on the new RLX, offering a broad range of convenience, entertainment and security features.
'The 2014 Acura RLX heralds the introduction of a number of new signature Acura technologies that provide the driver a feeling of connection to the product, to the road, and to the world from the very moment they enter the vehicle,' said Jeff Conrad, vice president and general manager of Acura Sales. 'The RLX embodies the Acura commitment to create vehicles wîth outstanding handling that truly respond to the will of the driver.'
The 2014 Acura RLX is powered by an all-new 310-horsepower direct-injected SOHC 24-Valve i-VTEC® V-6 engine wîth Variable Cylinder Management, and is expected to earn best-in-class estimated EPA fuel economy ratings of 20/31/24 mpg1 (city/highway/combined). The new RLX delivers full-size interior space in a nimbler, mid-size luxury sedan package and boasts the best rear-seat legroom (38.8 inches), longest tandem seating distance (36.4 inches), and best front and rear shoulder room in the mid-luxury class.

Exterior Design and Function
The RLX follows an 'aero-fused' exterior design motif wîth its wide and athletic stance, sharp upswept bodylines, aerodynamic greenhouse, and distinctive new Jewel-Eye™ LED headlights offering improved down-the-road illumination. The RLX's sleek upper body and numerous other aerodynamic features result in aerodynamic efficiency to best-in-class levels.
Seven spoke 18x8J aluminum-alloy wheels and 245/45 R18 all-weather tires are standard, while Technology, Krell and Advance grades feature 19x8J wheels and 245/40 R19 tires.

The Krell Audio and Advance grades receive an all-new Krell ultra-premium system that sets a new benchmark for high-fidelity sound in a luxury vehicle.
Chassis Technology
Whether on a serpentine mountain pass, congested city street, or cramped airport parking deck, and in all weather conditions, the RLX wîth Precision All-Wheel Steer™ (P-AWS™), is designed to deliver an unprecedented level of handling precision and control.
Working in concert wîth Vehicle Stability Assist® (VSA®) wîth Traction Control and Agile Handling Assist dynamic braking system, P-AWS™ provides enhanced vehicle stability, maneuverability, and control. The RLX's handling performance is further elevated by its new double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension system wîth Amplitude Reactive Dampers, and new high-output, belt-type electronic power §teering.
All RLX models have 4-wheel disc brakes wîth high-friction pads and a 4-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS), along wîth new Hydraulic Brake Boost that improves brake pedal feel. New Electric Parking Brake wîth Automatic Brake Hold, and high-efficiency Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) are additional firsts for Acura.
New Direct Injected VTEC® V-6 wîth VCM
The 2014 RLX is powered by an all-new 3.5-liter direct-injected SOHC i-VTEC® V-6 engine wîth Variable Cylinder Management. Rated at 310 horsepower and 272 lb.-ft. of torque, the engine delivers exceptional drivability, wîth more than 90-percent of its peak torque produced from 2000 rpm to 6600 rpm. Variable Cylinder Management™ wîth 3-cylinder and 6-cylinder operation works in concert wîth the VTEC valvetrain to deliver superb cruising efficiency. The engine is mounted to a lightweight and rigid aluminum front subframe using a vibration-canceling Active Control engine Mount (ACM) system.
The new engine is mated to a reengineered Sequential SportShift 6-speed automatic transmission wîth revised gearing, an intuitive selector and §teering-wheel-mounted shift paddles. A driver-selectable Sport mode provides more aggressive shift points and more pronounced engine braking during deceleration, along wîth manual operation.
AcuraLink® Connectivity System
The RLX is equipped wîth the next-generation of the AcuraLink® connectivity system, delivering a bevy of new information, media, convenience, and security services via embedded two-way communications and web-enabled devices. AcuraLink® leverages the Aha™ by Harman cloud-based interface to provide users wîth thousands of customizable media and connectivity choices. Next-generation AcuraLink® also delivers an array of available security and convenience features, such as AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic™ featuring freeway traffic and all-new surface street traffic, airbag deployment notification, stolen vehicle tracking, remote locking and unlocking, security alarm notification and 24-hour personalized concierge services for restaurant reservations and more.

The RLX offers a comprehensive list of leading-edge technologies, including Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist system, Forward Collision Warning and Collision Mitigation Brake system safety technologies, Adaptive Cruise Control wîth Low Speed Follow driver assist system, and Blind Spot Information and Multi-Angle Rearview Camera wîth Dynamic Guidelines enhanced visibility systems.

Additional details on key advances and technologies for the all-new 2014 RLX:
•Class leading interior space based on the RLX's longer wheelbase and efficient packaging. At 196.1 inches, the RLX is similar in length to the outgoing RL, but it has a two-inch longer wheelbase and is nearly two inches wider, placing the new RLX well above the norm in the mid-luxury class. The flagship RLX sedan has up to three inches more rear legroom than competing models, including the BMW 535i, Lexus GS350 and Audi A6.
•Extensive use of lightweight materials includes the application of high-strength steel to 55 percent of the body, and the intensive use of aluminum—for the front fenders, hood, §teering hangar beam, front and rear bumper beams, front subframe, and front and rear door outer panels (mated to steel inner panels). The RLX weighs in at 3,933 pounds. Static bending and torsional body rigidity are up 52 percent and 46 percent, respectively.
•Jewel-Eye LED headlights (an Acura first) LED lamps enhance the RLX's modern and distinctive appearance while providing outstanding light distribution and improved down-the-road illumination.
•Acura Navigation System wîth Voice Recognition™ offers a wide range of search options including local search functionality and AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic™ for both highways and surface streets.
•Agile Handling Assist (an Acura first) uses active braking to help the driver smoothly and easily trace the desired line through a curve wîth smaller §teering inputs.
•Electric Parking Brake (an Acura first) provides one-touch parking brake activation.
•Automatic Brake Hold (an Acura first) maintains the vehicle's position when the driving or parking brake are released until the throttle is depressed.
•Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) wîth Low-Speed Follow (an Acura first), allows the RLX to independently maintain a set following distance in low-speed traffic situations, including stop and go traffic, and to initiate vehicle braking when necessary.
•Forward Collision Warning (FCW) uses a camera mounted in the upper portion of the windshield to detect vehicles ahead of the RLX and audibly and visually alert the driver when it determines a frontal collision wîth a detected vehicle is possible.
•Lane Departure Warning (LDW) uses the same windshield-mounted camera to detect lane markings on the road and alerts the driver if the vehicle is wandering from a detected lane.
•Front seatbelt e-pretensioners use electronic control to reduce belt tension under normal driving conditions, while also enabling automatic belt tensioning in hard cornering maneuvers or in the event of a collision.
•Multi-angle rearview camera wîth dynamic guidelines uses guidelines that reflect §teering wheel inputs on the display to aid in backup maneuvers.
•Capless fueling (an Acura first) eliminates the fuel cap and improves ease of fueling.

I called on this.Subaru WRX/STI Silver/Blue Factory Replaced Engine/Transmission It was owned by a kid who blew both engine and transmission under warranty so got them both replaced, 2k on each. I'd be concerned that they probably threw in a 2007+ engine, hence it would have the bad pistons. The dealership doesn't know. Also how did the kid break in the new engine? This might be a moot point though since unless I buy from the original owner I won't know how any STi was broken in. Tell me what you think.
I'm also not crazy about silver, but the price is great.

Mike Smith is the issue.......he is probably a really nice fellow..but he lacks some intangible....doesn't seem to inspire anyone...too.....something.So-if Mike remains as the head coach of the Falcon's the Falcon's will continue to fall short and the run they have been on will end.Then the failing City of Atlanta is going to be stuck with a great big new stadium that no one will care to visit....Bad deal for Smith to be able to continue to stick around..they need a change at the top.

The Atlanta Falcons are the worst best team in the NFL in recent memory. Or maybe it's the best worst team? Whatever the case may be, despite being loaded with playmakers, this team cannot win the games they need to. The problem? How about the combination of Matt Ryan and Mike Smith? And it's time for the two to get a divorce so the Falcons can win a Super Bowl before it's too late... Read more

New Manufacturing Equipment Targets Increased Tablet Production Efficiencies
Equipment manufacturers are developing production and packaging systems designed specifically to increase productivity while maintaining quality and reducing costs.
Several recent trends in the pharmaceutical industry are converging to squeeze profit margins for drug manufacturers, who are adopting multiple strategies in response. Increasing production efficiency is one key approach, and equipment manufacturers have been responding with the development of production and packaging systems designed specifically to increase productivity while maintaining quality and reducing costs. In biopharmaceutical manufacturing, the adoption of single-use equipment for both upstream and downstream processes at increasingly larger scales and the introduction of equipment designed for integrated continuous manufacturing are two examples.
For small-molecule manufacturing, significant progress has also been made in…

PDA Annual Meeting Makes Magic
Chad Juros inspired the crowd with his story and his magic, but closed his talk by saying, "The true magicians in this world are those who are bringing these miracle treatments and services that saved my life."
The start of the 2015 Annual Meeting was magic…literally. Chad Juros, founder of the Spread the Magic Foundation, a nonprofit corporation that performs magic to raise money for pediatric cancer patients, started the three-day conference with a message of positivity and gratitude. A childhood cancer survivor and medical miracle, Chad's father taught him magic as a survival tactic, a way of diverting attention from the negative to the positive in his life. But as accomplished as he is, Chad closed his speech by admitting he, in fact, does not know "real" magic.

Mature Quality Systems: What Pharma Can Learn from Other Industries
Pharma can take inspiration from industries with mature quality systems and advanced quality capabilities
Quality has a special meaning in pharmaceuticals, where production or distribution errors can jeopardize human life. But other industries face similar challenges, and some have developed sophisticated quality systems. As pharmaceutical companies look for ways to improve their quality practices and performance, they can take ideas from these quality leaders and adapt them for pharma.
Quality can be defined in various ways, from "fitness for purpose" to "meeting customer expectations" to predictability in statistical terms. Each industry understands quality differently, and priorities depend on the specifics of products and markets. In the automotive industry, for instance, companies generally define quality as the ability to meet…

Exploring the Benefits of Real-time Particle Sizing
The optimization and scale-up of wet granulation processes is often an essential step in the commercialization of oral solid dosage (OSD) products. Granulation enables the preparation of an optimized blend for tableting in which small quantities of highly potent active ingredients (APIs) are stably and homogeneously distributed. Furthermore, granule properties can be manipulated to control, for example, the flowability of the blend and its compressibility. In these ways granulation underpins the manufacture of high-quality tablets with consistent dose uniformity.Wet granulation, and in particular high shear wet granulation, is the technology of choice for many OSD production processes. Compared with alternative methods, high shear…

Where Is Biopharma in the PAT Picture?
The quest for "knowing exactly what's in the soup"
The first thing to remember is that Analytical Chemists (ACs) and Biochemists (BCs) see the world differently. Analytical types have always worked with inferential tests: color changes, odors, precipitates (for classes of elements) and felt comfortable using "clues" to deduce the answer. Biochemists, especially in the drug industry, are always attempting to be specific. If a reaction is proceeding, what is being used and produced; if it has ended, what is left in the reactor and what was produced.
They want to know the exact composition of the "soup." So when PAT was broached to the ACs, for example, blend uniformity testing, we felt fine just seeing that the spectra stopped changing, implying that the mixing was complete. BCs tend…

Study Says Published Papers Fail to Report Clinical Trial Violations
When the FDA finds significant departures from good clinical practice, those findings are seldom reflected in the peer-reviewed literature, even when there is evidence of data fabrication or other forms of research misconduct.
A new New York University analysis found that when the FDA's finds serious problems with how medical researchers collect their data, the peer-reviewed literature often doesn't mention it.Using documents and data from 1998 to 2013, researchers identified 57 clinical trials that received an "official action indicated" violation for reasons including inadequate or inaccurate recordkeeping, false information and poor patient safety.
And yet, among the 78 published analyses of data from those sanctioned trials, only three noted violations.
One example was found where the entire clinical trial was deemed unreliable by the FDA, and the published paper failed to make mention of this. In another example, the published paper claimed all…

When it comes to drug development and commercialization, Contract Pharma is bringing the brains and the brawn to do Pharma's heavy lifting
It's always exciting to see how a given industry responds to the market's dynamics, and for pharmaceutical contract services companies these are exciting times indeed. For the longest time, this segment served Big Pharma from behind the scenes. Like Cinderellas, contract manufacturing, development and research companies (CMOs, CDMOs and CROs in the industry's lexicon) were relegated to the back of the house, engaged at the servant's entrance to serve in mundane and discrete roles, delivering API and excipients, clinical trial supply, or for some, extra commercial capacity to speed to market and meet the demand for a successful new therapy. For the most part, contract services companies became the towel boys and water carriers to…

Court Says No to Actavis Plan to Thwart Namenda Generics

A U.S. Court of Appeals has upheld a December decision declaring that Ireland-based Actavis must keep Namenda, it's dementia drug, on the market.
In an attempt to preserve sales as generic versions of Namenda (memantine) are introduced, Actavis had planned to switch patients to Namenda XR, a higher dose, once-daily formulation of the original drug. Actavis wanted to discontinue selling Namenda, in order to force the process.
In a press statement, Actavis CEO Brent Saunders noted the company's disappointment in the court ruling but said that patient demand for the new extended release drug is "currently trending at more than 50 percent of the total product line's days of therapy and growing, underscoring the strong physician, patient and…

An Oakville father who lost his 18-year-old son to a workplace accident called on hundreds of students at Iroquois Ridge Secondary School to speak out if an employer ever asks them to do something they feel is unsafe.
Rob Ellis of www.mysafework.com and around 20 local business and government leaders discussed the importance of workplace safety during a school presentation lastThursday.
"The reason I am here today is I don't want you to ever have to go through what my family went through," said Ellis.
"It just devastated us."
Ellis said in 1999 his son Dave was a recent high school graduate who decided to take a part-time job at an Oakville bakery so he could earn some money for university.
After his first day at work Dave came home and was asked by his father how the job was.
Ellis said Dave just shrugged his shoulders and that was basically the end of the conversation.
Today the Oakville father knows he should have asked his son a lot more questions about whether he had received any kind of orientation or training or if his work was being supervised or if his employers gave him the opportunity to ask questions.
On Dave's second day at work, Ellis said, he was directed to clean dough from an industrial mixer without supervision or training.
During the cleaning process the mixer accidently activated.
Dave was drawn into the rotating blades and struck his head.
Word of the accident reached Ellis later that morning at which point he and his family made the trip to Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital where Dave was struggling for life.
"My 18-year-old son Dave was on that (hospital) bed. His blood was on the floor, on the walls. There were nurses on one side and doctors on the other. Everybody was in panic mode," said Ellis.
"My son was just gasping for air. As a dad I just wanted to go in and pick him up and take him home where he'd be safe. My job as a dad was to protect my son and I couldn't."
Dave held on for six days before succumbing to his injuries.
Since that time Ellis has dedicated his life to advocating for health, safety and wellness in the workplace.
During the presentation Ellis approached a number of the business leaders present to ask about their safety protocols and how to avoid workplace accidents.
Oakville Hydro President and CEO Rob Lister said safety the first priority at his company.
He called on those present to be mindful of their surroundings, not just at work, but everywhere and advised them they have the right to stop and ask questions at work if they don't understand something.
Oakville Mayor Rob Burton echoed Lister's remarks stating great things can happen when youths challenge the status quo.
He pointed to Oakville's skate parks and a youth drop in centre, which were built after young people advocated for.
Oakville Liberal incumbent Kevin Flynn also weighed in on workplace safety in Ontario.
He noted that despite Ontario having one of the safest workplaces in the world work-related accidents and deaths still happen far too often.
"Every few days I get a phone call or an email that tells me the system has failed somehow. That somebody left for work, happy, expecting a pay cheque, expecting to come home to their family at night and they haven't. They lost their life instead. Very quickly I found out that as the Minister of Labour that is the worst part of the job I am so proud to have," said Flynn, who was appointed to the role in March, prior to the election being called.
He said the time someone is most likely to get hurt on the job is in the first two weeks of the very first job they have and asked the students to remember Ellis' story.
When one student asked what is being done to make workplaces safer Flynn said the government of Ontario has succeeded in reducing workplace accidents by about 30 per cent since 2003.
"One workplace fatality, one workplace accident is too many," said Flynn.
"As of July 1, Canada Day, of this year it will be the law in the Province of Ontario that when you show up for that job you get mandatory health and safety training orientation. It is not just a good idea or something we would like you to do. It is something that as an employer now that you have to do."
Another student noted that young workers are easily replaceable and asked what power they really have to refuse unsafe work.
Flynn said that if a young person is fired for asking questions about safety their first call should be to the Ministry of Labour who will investigate these types of allegations.
