Radiation Safety
UC Risk & Safety Software Applications
|UC Radiation to Launch January 17th, 2017
Are you ready? Do you need more information or training on how to use the application?
UC Risk & Safety Solutions provided information and training resources for the application
to assist you with the transition.
UC Radiation is part of the UC Safety Suite and is integrated with WASTe, the hazardous waste system, and LHAT, the laboratory hazard assessment tool. Watch a brief introductory video for more information, or email the Radiation Safety Officer or Radiation Safety Specialist.
About the Radiation Safety Program
Radiation safety is responsible for ensuring that all users of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation are in compliance with existing regulatory requirements, such that any resultant radioactive exposures are as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). The program provides the means necessary for personnel to protect themselves, their co-workers, the general public, and the environment from detrimental effects of radiation materials and machines. These objectives are accomplished through day-to-day oversight; continuous accountabiilty of materials, machines, and devices; training; laboratory waste processing; and personal dosimetry. All radioactive materials used in the State of California must be licensed by the State of California. Under the conditions of the broadscope license, the State of California has granted authority to the University of California Riverside Radiation Safety Committee to authorize the use of radioactive materials at any of its facilities. All radiation producing equipment must be registered by the State of California. The Radiation Safety Committee authorizes the use of all radiation producing equipment. The Radioactive Material Broadscope License and Radiation Producing Equipment Registration are on file in the EH&S Office.
Each year a report is published indicating the campus' compliance with requirements of the program. The annual review for 2015 available online.

Well first blog post so better make it good. I'm Tattered Cloak, or T.C.
I guess my first disclaimer should start with I don't know everything about Slenderman, nor do I beleve that any one person could, which is why I really believe this wikia is a great asset. But it is a two-sided knife, with such help and knowledge at a single click away, how could his power not grow?
I'll start my personal entry with this: I've never seen Slenderman, nor the Windigo, or the beastly Rake. Belief is something, to me, that is earned and even without having seen the Pale Man, I do believe. Because my friends believed. I should get to the brass tacks though, right? No one wants to hear about "maybes" or "secondhand belief".
It's a tradition where I live to go ghost-tripping. Ghost-tripping is when people go out in search of the macabre and supernatural, be it for skeptical reasons or the more standard "to see a ghost" mentality. Nothing unusual. I'd gone ghost-tripping a lot with these friends (Alpha, Beta, Zeta, Omega to get things less complicated later on), I mean with the fact you can't throw a rock without hitting some landmark considered haunted in Central New York, there was always some place to go. But the one time I should have gone, I didn't. My girlfriend at the time wanted me to stay home after having been feeling under the weather.
I wish I did go though, because whatever happened on that trip to Star Hill changed everything for my circle of friends, leading them to a place where I could never fathom before then.
Since this is the first blog entry, I'm just giving bare information so that I can start giving the accounts of what happened when they went on their expedition and the events that followed. You won't have to wait long. The next blog is ready.

I have heard your response for the past year and it has been my fear that that was the case. However another county transfer in was given house arrest and he lived in Ventura county so it had to be allowed. So obviously its possible and not that they dont have the means. :(
It's just the court policy. What I said in my answer is exactly the way it is.

Obagi Blue Peel for Acne Scars
No, an Obagi Blue Peel is not likely to be very beneficial in reducing acne scars. It is highly effective in correcting excessive pigmentation in sun damaged skin. For treatment of acne scars your best options are laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, and/or filler injections such as Restylane.

The Obagi Blue Peel is a medium depth chemical peel that is great for freshening up your skin, improving texture, fine lines and pigment but doesn't go deep enough to have much effect on acne scars.

'Shadow' Office Space Still a Drag
Talk about the "shadow inventory" usually refers to housing market, but a new report says a similar phenomenon in the office market will remain a problem this year.
Cassidy Turley, the commercial real estate services company, says in its 2011 U.S. Macro Forecast released Friday that demand nationally for office space is up and vacancy has peaked, but that the stock of "shadow vacancy" means less actual demand for space. Shadow vacancy is defined as space that's leased but not currently utilized because of layoffs or reorganizations.
There's some shadow space in most office markets, said Kevin Thorpe, Cassidy Turley's chief economist, but the volume grew during the recession.

Description: The principles in this book apply to all art instruction readers (beginning and experienced). Better design = better painting. Following the principles in this book will eliminate repainting, overworking and frustration by creating harmonious, unified, powerful paintings. Works for all art mediums: Fundamental compositional principles apply whether the person paints in watercolor, pastel, acrylic or oil, painting still life, landscapes or figures. Contains a bonus 15 minute DVD that shows how altering one element of a painting can change the entire composition. Author is an experienced international workshop instructor with a captivating voice, able to convey this often-thought complex subject in terms everyone can understand. He makes it easy, interesting and educational. All elements of composition are covered. Readers will learn how to use a viewfinder to determine cropping and framing to create the best relationship of value masses. They will also learn to analyze paintings in terms of color shapes of value, hue, and intensity (also color temperature)-the elements that make a painting. Roberts uses master works as examples to show how the eye moves through a painting. He will include before/after examples to illustrate how using the rules for good composition can improve paintings. Readers will learn how to create compositionally successful paintings through 6-8 demonstrations.

That call is usually request.getParameter(), but there are two other similar methods. At _that_ moment the conversion from bytes to Strings happens and the request encoding must already be set. It is application's responsibility to set the request encoding. It defaults to ISO-8859-1 if not set explicitly. (Maybe it will parse charset value if that is specified in Content-Type header of request, but most browsers do not include charset in their request, so that is irrelevant). Note, that there is standard "SetCharacterEncodingFilter" in Tomcat 7. (In 7.0 it is in o.a.c.filters package, in 6.0 and 5.5 it is examples webapp).

The expansion would be funded through Linc's internal accruals as well as the funds it would receive from Mitsubishi Pencils
Mumbai: Writing instruments maker Linc Pen and Plastics plans to set up a manufacturing facility in Gujarat with an investment of Rs25 crore, reports PTI.
"We are planning to set up a factory in Gujarat. We hope to make it functional from next financial year. Our capacity will also increase by 20% with that," Linc Pen managing director Deepak Jalan told PTI.
The company has a factory in Kolkata and a plant near Kolkata in the special economic zone of Falta, which can produce close to 10-12 crore pens per month.
Speaking on the investment in Gujarat, Jalan said, "It will be around Rs 25 crore. We are starting the construction now and it is on Gujarat-Maharashtra border."
Asked about the funding, Jalan said, "It will be funded through internal accruals as well as the funds we will receive from Mitsubishi Pencils."
The Kolkata-based firm recently sold 13.5% equity stake to Japan-based Mitsubishi Pencil for Rs20 crore.
"It is basically a strategic tie-up for both companies. By default, it became a stake sale. This tie-up could open more avenues for co-operation like manufacturing here."
Linc Pen's shares were trading 1.41% up at Rs53.90 per share on the Bombay Stock Exchange, while the benchmark Sensex was 0.33% up at 17,150.95.
The portfolio includes rights to florbetaben, which helps detect beta-Amyloid plaque deposition in the brain, an indication of probable Alzheimer's disease
Mumbai: Drugmaker Piramal Healthcare said it has entered into an agreement to acquire worldwide rights to the molecular imaging research and development portfolio of Bayer Pharma AG, reports PTI. Financial details of the deal were not available.
The portfolio includes rights to florbetaben, which helps detect beta-Amyloid plaque deposition in the brain, an indication of probable Alzheimer's disease.
Detection of beta-Amyloid depositions is expected to result in earlier diagnosis and more specific treatment of Alzheimer's disease, Piramal said.
"The company signed an agreement to acquire the worldwide rights to the molecular imaging research and development portfolio of Bayer through its newly created subsidiary, Piramal Imaging SA," Piramal Healthcare said in a filing to the BSE.
Ajay Piramal, chairman of the Piramal Group, said the acquisition was the second of late stage assets after a similar transaction of BioSyntech assets in 2011.
"We plan to build a promising portfolio in the pharma space, including our newly acquired Molecular Imaging assets, which will help us create a global branded pharma business," he said.
As per the agreement, Piramal will have the intellectual property (including patents, trademarks and know-how), worldwide development, marketing and distribution rights of the lead compound florbetaben as well as other clinical and pre-clinical assets of Bayer's molecular imaging business, the filing said.
Further, core members of Bayer's research and development team working on the portfolio will be joining Piramal Imaging, which will carry forward the development of florbetaben and take it through regulatory approval processes worldwide.
Piramal is planning to file for regulatory approvals in 2012.
Piramal Healthcare's shares were trading 1.35% down at Rs444.25 per share on the Bombay Stock Exchange, while the benchmark Sensex was 0.12% up at 17,114.56.
RINL sales were up 6.5% in 2011-12 at 3.5 million tonnes of steel that helped it to clock a turnover of Rs14,457 crore
New Delhi: State-run Rashtriya Ispat Nigam (RINL) said it clocked the best-ever annual turnover in 2011-12 at Rs14,457 crore, buoyed by a growth of 6.5% in sales, reports PTI.
"Our sales were up 6.5% in 2011-12 at 3.5 million tonnes of steel. This has helped us to clock our best-ever turnover at Rs14,457 crore, up 26% than the previous fiscal," a company official said.
The official said the company produced 3.4 million tonnes in the last fiscal, utilising 113% of installed capacity.
Of the total sales, 2.25 million tonnes were of special grade, which helped the company to fetch a premium, he said justifying the "robust" growth in the topline.
"This will also help the company to record highest-ever profitability," he added.
With higher sales, RINL has increased its market share in eastern, northern and western regions. Its sales were up 22% in east, 13% in north and 10% in west, during the last fiscal.
The higher sales have also helped the company to bring down its inventory level to the lowest since inception at 72,000 tonnes, which is equivalent to the production of just six-seven days, the official added.
RINL has set a target of Rs15,000 crore turnover for the current fiscal. It is likely to file the draft prospectus for its upcoming initial public offer (IPO) by June.

My baby is sleeping at about 3-4 hr interval, if he's not cluster feeding. He can drink 4 oz each feeding now.
My baby is sleeping at about 3-4 hr interval, if he's not cluster feeding. He can drink 4 oz each feeding now.
EDD 10.10.10 Expecting our first Son!
my first started sleeping 7pm to 4am then 4am to 7am on his own around 3.5 months. then we went on a trip and he got sick and then we moved and his sleep patterns got ALL messed up! so we ended up sleep training around 6 months, i read several books and we ended up with a combination of methods from health sleep habits happy child and the ferber book.
anyway i am hoping my october baby has a similar pattern, and we wont be moving this time or anything... but the kids will be sharing a room in a few months so im sure that will come with its own set of sleep issues
"a baby is like a face tattoo, if your going to get one you kinda wanna be committed to it"
mine slept through the night at 10 months but the amount of sleeping before that I can't recall.
Every baby is different so you wont get a cookie cutter answer. I think if you are getting 3-4 hours right now that is really good. My first 2 girls were every 2-3 hours like clockwork until a few months old. This baby is every 2 hours during the day and then only wakes up once during the night (I had one night where she slept 1030-7am!) It has been a blessing with the other 2 to take care of but who knows if it will last!
Most say they'll start sleeping longer intervals around 3+ months, sometimes later, sometimes a little later, that is the average. In the first month though most are the same and will want to eat every 2-4 hours. My DD (dear daughter) is 6 weeks and the longest she'll go is 4 hours, she drinks 3-4 oz of formula.
~*~*~Zoe Anita - Born September 13th, 2010~*~*~
My first was over a year before she slept 7 hours!
My second was tons earlier... maybe 6 weeks?
My third was 9 days old the first time she slept 7 hours without needing to nurse! YAY!

Jacob 09/01/14 ( ** Currently kicking Cancer's A**! )
My older two kids started sleeping through the night (8+ hours) at 7 wks. My oldest was actually an amazing sleeper and would go 12 hours straight by the time he was 3 months old. It was wonderful! My youngest was still getting up once a night at nine months just to let me hold her for a few minutes...I finally had to let her cry it out because I was pregnant again and too tired to keep it up. I will def do it earlier this time around if I have to.
I don't remember how old they were when they started sleeping 5-7 hours but I know with my kids it was only a couple of weeks old. But, every baby is different.

Proud USAF wife!!
My 3 wk old is sleeping for 2 hours at a time...ugh =( When she gets up, I end up nursing for 45 min. Let's just say...I'm NOT sleeping at all. I feel like a human bottle. Don't get me wrong...I am very thankful I'm successfully breast feeding (I couldn't w/my first-born), but no one prepares you for how demanding it is. Sleep is a thing of the past for me! My first-born didn't sleep for 6+ hours until she was 10 mos old...she had severe reflux and was on 3 medications until she was a year old. I'd be thankful for a 3-4 hour stretch =)

I thought it's a bad idea to let them sleep more than 4 hrs this early? Or do you ladies feed them while they're sleeping. i usually put the alarm at 4 hrs just in case he doesn't wake upon his own, but he usually wakes us up. The tiring part is not the 3-4 hour feeding. At this time, he has those in between feedings, about 1-3 oz every 30 minutes, that's what tires me up. I actually give him 1.5 oz after feeding from me for an hour because I feel so tired after breastfeeding him during the night, and when he feeds from me, it's like a neverending buffet, he even pants when he feeds till the end, as if someone is chasing him and going to take the boob away.LOL!

In this series, we interview emerging and established writers as well as professionals in the publishing world to give you insight – and tools – into the art and craft of writing.
Today's chat is with Nina Sankovitch, author of Tolstoy and the Purple Chair, which launches today – congratulations, Nina! Tolstoy and the Purple Chair has been named an Outstanding Debut Novel of 2011 by Kirkus Reviews, and given a starred review. Nina reviews books on the Huffington Post and at readallday.org.
"On that beautiful August afternoon, I sat back in my beach chair and surveyed where I was. Looking over a glittering ocean under a blue sky. Kids close by me on the sand, Jack still jumping waves, Marvin and Dorothy coming back now over the dunes. I was doing okay. I was creating order by following lessons learned from the books I immersed myself in, day after day. My year of magical reading was proving to be a fitting ending to the sorrow of my sister's death, and a solid beginning to the rest of my life."
"An entertaining bibliophile's dream… As well as being an homage to her sister and their family of readers, Sankovitch's memoir speaks to the power that books can have over our daily lives. Sankovitch champions the act of reading not as an indulgence but as a necessity, and [her memoir] will make the perfect gift from one bookworm to another." Publisher's Weekly
"Nina Sankovitch has crafted a dazzling memoir that reminds us of the most primal function of literature–to heal, to nurture and to connect us to our truest selves." Thrity Umrigar, author of The Space Between Us, Bombay Time, and The Weight of Heaven
"Anyone who has ever sought refuge in literature will identify with Tolstoy and the Purple Chair."
Tessa: Your book, Tolstoy and the Purple Chair, is literally the most exquisite book I've ever read. I read it in one sitting; sobbing in the first few pages, transfixed and increasingly joyful throughout, and fabulously optimistic by the end. Did you realize, when you were writing it, that the reader's experience might mirror your own catharsis?
Nina: It was not a conscious choice – to put the reader through grief and bring them back to joy – but of course when I read, those books which I love best of all are ones which can make me part of the experience portrayed through the words, characters, plot, and landscape. That I have been able to do the same for you, Tessa, in my book, is very, very satisfying for me, and certainly will make us closer as fellow readers and writers – and connection is what counts, right?
Tessa: Absolutely! How long did it take to write?
Nina: It took me about one year to complete the book, start to finish.
Tessa: What inspires your creativity and makes you want to write?
Nina: Reading inspires my creativity, and my reactions to life. The books that I read, the people I meet, the family I love, and the natural world all compel me to write. Writing for me is sharing; I wouldn't write if I thought no one would read what I had to say. Instead I'd sit in coffee shops and try to engage passers-by in discussions! I love a dinner party where I can really talk to people; to travel and make new friends; to observe the world and comment on it, not necessarily because I think I am so astute in my observations but because I like discussion and learning and interpretation. The world is so beautiful and I want to share that beauty; it's also very confusing at times; for example, how we can live our daily lives oblivious to horrors on the other side of the world – or right next door. As I explore in my book, there's no "karma" that binds us all together, there are only the connections that we ourselves forge, through getting to know people and places, and understanding times in the past and present. I make so many of my connections, learn so many of my life lessons, through reading – and Tolstoy and the Purple Chair is my effort to share what I've learned.
Tessa: What gets in the way of your ability to write?
Nina: Distraction. Worry is a big distraction. Fear is another. But when I sit down and commit to answering the simple question What am I trying to say, the words come. Eventually.
Tessa: Where do your ideas originate?
Nina: My ideas come from my reading, from my every day life, and from my hopes and dreams for the future, not only my own but the futures of the planet and all the people on it.
Tessa: When do you know your story/novel is finished?
Nina: When I have said what I intended to say.
Tessa: What sort of writing ritual do you set up for yourself when you're working on a story or novel?
Nina: Mints in my desk drawer, water and coffee nearby, and an outline of what I would like to achieve.
Tessa: What's the best, and worst, writing advice you've ever heard?
Nina: The best is two-fold; write what you know and show, don't tell. The worst would be to write at the same time every day – I write when the words come and always carry a notebook to jot down sudden thoughts, perfect sentences, ideas.
Tessa: What experience from your childhood informs who you are as a writer today?
Nina: The joy of reading was a huge part of my childhood, as it is a huge part of my adulthood. All the books I read as a kid inform who I am as an adult.
Tessa: How old were you when started to write?
Nina: I was around ten years old – I began writing in a journal to be like Harriet in Harriet the Spy.
Tessa: What was your favorite childhood book?
Nina: There were so many but I loved the Melendy family dynamic in The Saturdays and the subsequent novels of Elizabeth Enright; the mysteries of Encyclopedia Brown and Nancy Drew; the heroism of The Knights of the Roundtable by Malory; and the company of Harriet the Spy.
Tessa: What books are you currently reading?
Nina: I just reread Howards End by E.M. Forster and it is truly a great book. I think it will set off a frenzy of Forster-reading for me!
Tessa: What quality most intrigues you in a person?
Nina: The ability to be kind and generous, in thought and in deed.
Tessa: And least?
Nina: Blind ambition.
Tessa: What is your idea of earthly happiness?
Nina: Books, cats, family, food, friends. Woods and fields and lakes, sandy beaches and the ocean.
Tessa: What is your favorite motto or quotation?
Nina: Having just reread Howards End, I am thinking about "Only Connect" by Forster.
Tessa: What profession other than writing would you like to attempt?
Nina: Bookshop owner. I would love that. Or farmer. I would like to grow vegetables and raise chickens (for eggs).
Tessa: If you had the power to change anything in the world, what would it be?
Nina: Stupidity and greed in government.
Tessa: What persists for you as a constant source of worry or hope?
Nina: A constant source of hope for me is the beauty in the world, in nature and in human gestures and interactions.
Tessa: What's next for you?
Nina: More reading and writing. I continue to write book reviews and observations on my site and for The Huffington Post, and I am working on a piece about letters, letter-writing, and diary-keeping.
Tessa: Where could readers find out more about you and your work?
Nina: On my website, www.readallday.org, and in my upcoming memoir, Tolstoy and the Purple Chair.
Tessa: Thank you for your time, Nina!
Nina: Thank you!

- "I accept your offer, tell the Corleones my loyalty is theirs."
- ―Antonios LaHood[src]
Antonios LaHood was the owner of Orchid Incorporated in Midtown.
- "I just won 12 bucks on Antonio LaHood, he went 12 rounds!"
- ―Civilian[src]
A lifelong botanist, LaHood allowed the Straccis to open a brothel in his backrooms to supplement his income, lamenting the decision when his shop began to lose business. Having an actual massage parlour installed upstairs did little to recover his failing business, and so LaHood was willing to hand over his cut to Aldo Trapani in the Fifties.
A few years later, LaHood's business gained further notoriety for being the location where Moe Greene met his end. Fortunately, he had the protection of both the Corleones and the police to keep him safe.

Saudi blogger and activist, Raif Badawi, sentenced to 1,000 lashes, 10 years in jail and fined 1 million riyals (about $266,000), has been flogged publicly 50 times. He will go through the same punishment every Friday till he completes his sentence.
'Saudi Arabia is endangering his health and life – if they go through with the whole 1,000 lashes, they are killing him more every week.
'It is a criminal act,' says his wife Ensaf.
Ensaf and her three kids were forced to flee the Kingdom when Badawi was arrested in 2011. They have since been living in Quebec, Canada.
Badawi, the co-founder of a now-banned group called the Liberal Saudi Network, was arrested in 2012.
According to an eyewitness' description to Amnesty International, after Friday noon prayers, the doomed journalist was brought in shackles to a public square in the Saudi city of Jeddah.
"A crowd gathered in a circle. Passersby joined them and the crowd grew. But no one knew why Raif was about to be punished. Is he a killer, they asked? A criminal? Does he not pray?" the witness said.
"A security officer approached him from behind with a huge cane and started beating him. Raif raised his head towards the sky, closing his eyes and arching his back. He was silent, but you could tell from his face and his body that he was in real pain. The officer beat Raif on his back and legs, counting the lashes until they reached 50."
It could be worse: In 2013, Badawi was cleared of apostasy, which could have cost him his life.

Recommended: A Perfect Example Of How Saudi Arabia Deals With Freedom Of Speech
"Raif Badawi is a prisoner of conscience; his only 'crime' was to exercise his right to freedom of expression by setting up a website for public discussion. He must be immediately and unconditionally released," demands Said Boumedouha of Amnesty International.
"By ignoring international calls to cancel the flogging Saudi Arabia's authorities have demonstrated an abhorrent disregard for the most basic human rights principles," he added.
Saudi Arabia, ruled by the conservative royals of the Saud clan, is not a place with much freedom. But while the world knows much about the lack of rights of the Saudi women and the lavish lifestyles of the royalty, the fate of the rest is usually overshadowed.
Men, though allowed to move about freely, drive and interact openly, are also chained down by the kingdom's strict policies. Freedom of expression is a big no-no irrespective of gender.
Badawi, therefore, sealed his fate when he decided to be open and expressive of his views. He questioned the interpretations of Islam, mocked the religious clerics' intent upon keeping the public under their thumb and was in short irreverent of all that the kingdom holds beyond reproach.

Fewer False Fire Alarms With Dual Ray Technology From Bosch
Bosch Security Systems
: 26 October, 2010
(New Product)
The Fire Detector 420 series from Bosch provides fast and accurate fire detection with less false alarms through the benefit of multi-sensor dual ray technology
New additions to Bosch's Fire Detector 420 Series provide even faster fire detection than was previously possible, along with reduced rate of false alarms, ensuring that the series offers maximum reliability in all conditions and environments.
Although no two fires are the same, they all have certain obvious characteristics in common, including the generation of heat, smoke and combustion gases. Detecting any one of these can give early warning of a fire, but can also lead to false alarms due to other particulate material being mistaken for smoke. That's why multisensor detectors were developed by companies such as Bosch Security Systems with products such as its ground-breaking FAP OTC 420 optical, thermal, chemical multisensor introduced 2001. Where Bosch's Fire Detector 420 Series really scores, however, is in the leading-edge algorithm embodied in the company's Intelligent Signal Processing (ISP) technology, which enables the 420 Series to achieve the highest level of intelligent fire detection.
In general the more sensors a fire detector has, the earlier it can detect a fire and the fewer false alarms are generated. This is particularly true of the multisensors in Bosch's Fire Detector 420 Series. They feature the company's unique and powerful ISP technology, through which all sensor signals are pre-processed continually by dedicated internal evaluation electronics, analyzed and linked with each other via a built-in microprocessor.
The sensor signals are processed by a powerful algorithm developed using data from fire tests and tests with known disturbance values. The algorithm itself is based on rules derived from the experience of 5000 fire patterns. An alarm is triggered automatically only if the signal combination of the sensors corresponds to the specific pattern for a real fire.
In addition, the multisensor algorithm parameters are adapted to application type to further optimize early fire detection and false-alarm immunity. They also enhance immunity from ambient influences such as dust, humidity and temperature variations. This ensures best-in-class differentiation between real fires and disturbances.
Not content to rest on past successes, the company has recently introduced three new variants to the 420 Series embodying innovative Dual Ray technology that, in combination with ISP, offers ultimate precision in smoke detection.
Bosch formerly offered four sensor variants in the 420 Series: the FAH-T 420 (Heat Detector), the FAP-O 420 (Optical Smoke Detector), the FAP-OT 420 (Multisensor Detector Optical, Thermal) and the FAP-OTC 420 (Multisensor Detector Optical, Thermal, Chemical). With the exception of the FAH-T 420, all these detectors feature a single optical smoke detector. The series has now been extended with new detector variants featuring a dual-optical smoke sensor based on the company's Dual Ray technology.
It's commonly known that distinguishing between steam, dust particles and smoke particles can be a challenge for some detectors. They also find it challenging to detect very light smoke with small particles produced by some open wood fires, particularly what are known as open cellulosic (wood) fire defined in practical tests as TF1 fires. In the past, smoke from such fires could only be reliably detected using multi-criteria sensors or ionization detectors, the latter consisting of a small amount of radioactive material that detects any invisible smoke particles floating in the air and sets off an alarm.
Some manufacturers have attempted to address this challenge using a combination of thermal sensor and dual-optical sensor based on forward and backward scattering of light from two LED sources of the same wavelength. First described by Gustav Mie in 1908, Mie scattering describes the scattering of light by particles larger than a wavelength. It's responsible for the white light in mist and fog and the white glare around street lamps. Mie scattering is strongly dependent on particle size - the larger the particles, the stronger the intensity of scattered light in the direction of the incident light.
Bosch has adopted quite a different dual-optical approach in its new precision Dual Ray technology. Although this is also based on the Mie scattering effect, Dual Ray technology takes advantage of the effect to determine smoke density and particle size from the ratio between the intensity of scattered light from two LED sources of differing wavelength (one infrared LED and one blue LED). The smoke density and particle size are used by the detector's powerful fire-detection algorithm to provide even more reliable differentiation between smoke particles and other particles caused, for example, by disturbances such as dust and steam. This leads to earlier, more reliable fire detection and fewer false alarms.
Three new variants featuring Bosch's new dual-optical sensor are being added to the FAP-420 Series - the FAP-DO 420 (Dual-Optical Smoke Detector), the FAP-DOT 420 (Multisensor Detector Dual-Optical, Thermal) and the FAP-DOTC 420 (Multisensor Detector Dual-Optical, Thermal, Chemical). Their addition, which brings the total number of detectors in the series to seven, means that the 420 Series now provides optimal choice of detector variants meeting all likely application requirements.
As with the original members of the series, the new variants also feature Bosch's ISP technology, providing a unique combination of precision Dual Ray technology and the company's powerful fire-detection algorithm. They are all capable of detecting challenging TF1 test fires - even the FAP-DO 420 which embodies only the dual-optical sensor - and are the first detectors attested by VdS to TF1 and TF8, in addition to the required test fires of EN54 7.
Moreover, the dual-optical FAP-DO 420 offers a significant cost advantage over some competitor systems which require a multisensor detector (optical and thermal or dual-optical and thermal sensors) to provide reliable detection of TF1 fires. The dual-optical detector can also make full use of the surveillance area at all times, in contrast to multisensor detectors in which the surveillance area may be reduced in certain operating modes (e.g. thermal only).

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I ran out of money to pay for my divorce. What if I were to start an on-line defense fund, to help pay the cost? What are the legal ramifications? Should I use a webpage on Social media? My husband is a medical doctor, he tricked me out of the marital home a year ago, he can still afford to pay his legal expenses, I however, ran out of money. My divorce trial is January 2013. I am not proud or ashamed (although my husband should be). I have to meet my financial obligations, and fast.
Presumably you can seek a loan or set up a request for loans. But the question is why your husband is not contributing toward your fees.

I certainly think there may be legal ramifications to set up a legal defense fund involving tax laws for 501(c)'s and the like although I have seen similar things done as fund-raisers for medical bills, but those are usually run as community events. However, as the other attorney posted, if your husband is well off and can afford to pay your legal bills, you need to have a motion for pendite lite support, which means support that you can obtain before the judgment of divorce. While you may find forms to do this at a local law library (usually at your county's courthouse, it is better to do it with an attorney.

The Alcoholic Treatment Process
Alcoholism Intervention
The assistance of a qualified interventionist is often needed to help an addict realize the damage their drinking is doing to themselves and the people closest to them. The process of intervention consists of gathering the alcoholic's friends and family, having a serious discussion about their addiction, and trying to get them to enter a substance abuse treatment facility.
Alcohol Detox Program
Detoxing is the process of clearing the drugs from the body, in this case alcohol. While it sounds simple, there are a number of somewhat unpleasant and serious withdrawal symptoms that can keep people from getting the treatment they need. Many of these can be treated medicinally at most treatment programs you'll find in Alfred, NY.
Residential Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers
Exclusive Alfred alcohol rehabs tend to be more effective than outpatient clinics, which is one reason why many find them better when trying to get sober. There are many executive options available for those seeking the ultimate in comfort during their stay. 30, 60 and 90-day courses of treatment are typical for these centers.
