At hazardous materials incidents the product drives everything. Staging distances, suit selection, mitigation methods, the type of decontamination used, and public protective actions are all examples of things that are driven by the hazardous material. Specifically, it is the physical and chemical properties of the material that drives operations. This author has repeatedly written about how difficult it is to identify the material at transportation incidents on the highway. In fact, one such incident involved a tractor-trailer that had driven into the median of Interstate 95 at a spot where there were no trees. The tractor was pulling a box type trailer with no placards, was upright, and sustained no damage but was stuck in the mud. Upon questioning the driver about the contents of the trailer, he replied that he was carrying gasoline. Carrying gasoline in a box trailer was an interesting configuration. The driver was further questioned regarding whether non-bulk packaging was present inside the box trailer. The driver replied that he was mistaken and he was not carrying gasoline. After producing no less than 10 sets of shipping papers, the driver held one of the sets up and stated that he was transporting bananas.
Identification will often be difficult in roadway incidents. However, once identification and the more important verification of the identification has occurred, someone must find out what the material is and how it might hurt us, the public and/or property.
Imagine this. You are the Incident Commander (IC) and you call your Level A Recon team who is telling you the name of the product, which you cannot understand. The Recon team states they will spell it phonetically. "Mike, Echo, Tango, Hotel, Yankee, Lima, Echo, Tango, Hotel, Yankee, Lima, Papa, Hotel, Oscar, Sierra, Papa, Hotel, Oscar, November, Oscar, Tango, Hotel, India, Oscar, Lima, India, Tango, India, Charlie [SPACE] Alpha, Charlie, India, Delta." At this point, you may wish you were assigned to decontamination instead of serving as the IC. The team spelled MethylEthylPhosphonothiolitic Acid. OK, we verify with the shipper, receiver, or someone to be sure that the trailer or container is marked correctly and now it is time for the Hazmat Research/Science Officer to tell us what the heck that even is.
If you are assigned the position of Hazmat Research/Science Officer, you must be able to interpret the research material's characteristics into plain language so that strategies and tactics can be developed to deal with the product. We must also remember that research materials may list different values for each property. We must consult at least three different sources and use the worst case scenario of what is listed.
For example, if one source lists that your material will detonate anytime it reaches 84 degrees Fahrenheit, another source lists the temperature at 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and a third lists the temperature at which detonation will occur at 60 degrees Fahrenheit, we must use the 60 degrees as the worst case scenario. Each source may have used independent testing and if anyone was able to make the material we are dealing with detonate at a lower temperature than the other sources list, we want to use that value just in case Murphy is riding along with us that day — as he often does.
Let's start with a simpler product, gasoline. First, let us look at the chemical formula which is often one of the first things you see on many of the research sources. Gasoline's chemical formula varies slightly with the octane rating and purity. It could be C6H18 all the way up to C8H26. In the first compound, this means that there are six molecules of Carbon and 18 molecules of Hydrogen, which we know is highly flammable (see Hindenburg disaster, May 6, 1937). So, out of the gate here, we would expect our hazardous material (gasoline) to probably be highly flammable, even if we didn't know anything about it.
Many sources will also list a CAS (Chemical Abstract Service) number. These numbers are assigned to unique chemicals. Do you ever notice that when you look up a number in the Department of Transportation Emergency Response Guidebook that several chemicals may be listed? This is not the case for CAS numbers. Each chemical has a unique CAS number. Next, we want to see what the physical property of the material is. This is sometimes listed as, "a clear, colorless liquid" or as "a colorless gas with a pungent odor." If we do not see a description, we need to examine the chemical properties.
Flash point will tell us the temperature at which a material can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air given an external ignition source. For gasoline, the flash point is 45 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. This means unless we are standing on the North Pole in January, it is likely warm enough outside for our liquid to be generating sufficient vapors to ignite if an external ignition source is present. If a flash point is not given for our material in our reference, we can assume that it is either already a solid or gas under normal conditions, or has not been tested. Our explosive limits (often listed as "UEL" – Upper Explosive Limit and "LEL" – Lower Explosive Limit) will tell us the concentrations in air that allow the material to burn. These are normally listed as percentages but can easily be converted to parts per million (ppm).
Gasoline's upper explosive limit is 7.6 percent and the lower explosive limit is 1.4 percent. This is the equivalent of 76,000 ppm and 14,000 ppm (as 1,000,000 ppm = 100 percent concentration in air). In concentrations below 1.4 percent, gasoline is too lean to burn in air and in concentrations above 7.6 percent; gasoline is too rich to burn in air. Narrow explosive limits represent less of a risk of fire. Wide explosive limits (Ethylene Oxide has a LEL of 3 percent and UEL of 100 percent) represent a material that can explode or burn under virtually any concentrations. Specific Gravity will tell us the weight of the liquid when compared to water (which is equal to one). So, specific gravities greater than one will sink in water and specific gravities less than one will float in water. This is helpful if we intend to construct underflow or overflow dams. If we do not see a specific gravity value in our reference source, we can assume that it is either a solid or gas under normal conditions, or that source's publisher may not have tested the material.
Vapor Density is similar and tells us the weight of a vapor when compared to air (which is equal to one). Vapor densities greater than one will sink in air and hug the ground, which makes their movement more dependent on topography. Vapor densities less than one will rise in air and makes their movement more dependent on prevailing winds. Gasoline has a specific gravity of 0.72 which means it will float on top of water. This is why water does not work to extinguish gasoline fires. Water simply carries the burning gasoline wherever the topography takes them both. Foam is necessary to sit on top of the burning gasoline and smother, cool and separate the fuel from oxygen. When using foam, we must know at what percentage to apply it to the material. Solubility of the material should be examined in our reference sources.
If our hazardous material is soluble (sometimes defined as water miscible), then it is a polar solvent. If our material is insoluble (sometimes defined as water immiscible), then it is a hydrocarbon. Gasoline is insoluble in water and is therefore a hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbons get three percent concentration of Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) and Polar Solvents get six percent concentration of AFFF. But remember for every 100 gallons, even at six percent concentration, AFFF is still 94 gallons of water and six gallons of foam concentrate (the stuff in the buckets). So if our material is incompatible with water or water is not recommended as an extinguishing agent, then AFFF is very likely not appropriate either.
Next, we want to examine our boiling point and vapor pressure. These two properties have some correlation. Water has a boiling point of 212 degrees Fahrenheit and a Vapor Pressure of roughly 20 millimeters of Mercury (mm Hg) at room temperature (whatever room temperature is — consider it 72 degrees Fahrenheit). Consider the ring of water around the drink you leave on the table in the kitchen. It stays for a while but over the period of an hour or two, it vaporizes and evaporates. While we do not normally think of water giving off vapors, we know it is capable of vaporization even at "room temperature." We also know when we boil water to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, we get steam. Vapor pressure will rise with increases in temperature. At 212 degrees Fahrenheit, the vapor pressure of water is 760 mm Hg. This number should be familiar as 760 mm Hg is equal to 14.7 psi (atmospheric pressure at sea level). When water reaches that temperature and vapor pressure, neither continue to rise as the liquid is converted to vapor. Boiling points that are very low in temperature and vapor pressures that are much higher than atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg) represent volatile materials that give off a large amount of vapors. Extremely high boiling points and low vapor pressures are present in materials that do not readily vaporize.
Ethylene Glycol (antifreeze in internal combustion engine radiators) has a vapor pressure of 3.75 mm Hg at room temperature. This liquid will hang around a while as a liquid and requires higher temperatures to readily become a vapor. Conversely, Chlorine has a vapor pressure of somewhere between 4,800 and 5,200 mm Hg. This is largely above atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg) and means we will almost always see Chlorine in gaseous/vapor form. Remember, just because a material's vapor pressure is below atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg) does not mean that it does not generate vapors. Lower vapor pressures just mean it takes much longer to vaporize (remember the water ring on the table).
Gasoline has a boiling point of 102 degrees Fahrenheit and a Vapor Pressure of 38 to 300 mm Hg. This means that vapors will likely be present; however, we should still see liquid (especially on colder days). Most reference sources do not list a vapor density value since gasoline is considered a liquid. It is also possible that we would see a vapor pressure for a solid in our reference materials. If this occurs, we are dealing with a material that is capable of undergoing sublimation. Sublimation is when a material moves from a solid state directly to a gas state without becoming a liquid first. Napthalene (mothballs) is an example of such a material.
Finally, we want to examine the way by which the material hurts the public or us. These values are often reported by different agencies using different terms. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGLs) often called "Eagles." The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) uses Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH). NIOSH will also use a recommended exposure limit (REL) while OSHA uses a permissible exposure limit (PEL). Additionally, the American Industrial Hygiene Association uses Emergency Response Planning Guide (ERPG) values at three different levels. In each of these terms are values that represent concentrations that are unsafe for unprotected individuals. They all have one thing in common. The lower the reported value, the more dangerous the material. Values may appear as parts per million (ppm) for liquids and gases/vapors or milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) for solids. Gasoline possesses more chronic health hazards than acute, aside from catching fire and burning you. However, the ERPG-1 (the level below which you can sustain exposure for one hour without adverse health effects) is 200 ppm.
For comparison, at 10 ppm, Chlorine is immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) requiring prompt evacuation of unprotected individuals. The lower reported number for Chlorine represents less of a concentration it takes to hurt us. Therefore, Chlorine is a more dangerous chemical than gasoline when considering health hazards.
We must also consider how the material enters our body when we select our personal protective equipment. Materials that harm us through skin absorption require fully-encapsulating (Level A) suits. Materials that are a splash hazard and a mild respiratory hazard may require a reduced level of protection (Level B or C).
Let's take what we have read here and go back to our Methyethylphosphonothiolitic Acid. This is the military nerve agent called VX. It has a boiling point of 568.4 degrees Fahrenheit and a vapor pressure of 0.0007 mm Hg. This means that unless it is aerosolized mechanically, this material will likely be a liquid. Any vapors produced will be slow forming and this material will be very persistent (by design). It has a specific gravity of 1.008 — approximately the same weight as water — and is soluble in water which makes it and water a perfect match (by design). Its flash point is 318.2 degrees Fahrenheit which makes it difficult to burn (by design). Its vapor density is 9.2 which makes any vapors present much heavier than air. The level at which it is immediately dangerous to life and health is 0.003 mg/m3 which given its molecular mass is equal to 0.072 parts per million (ppm) or 72,000 parts per billion (ppb). So the level at which VX can kill you is about 0.0000072 percent concentration in air. That's not much.
Continue to research the terms associated with chemical properties, particularly for chemicals being used in fixed facilities in your jurisdiction. Remember, understanding a chemical's behavior is easy once you understand what each chemical property describes. However, you cannot help anyone if you have researched a material for 20 minutes, and it turns out to be the wrong chemical. Insure that identification and verification have occurred. Recognize any red flags that may occur from the research sources to the hot zone.
If the entry team is reporting heavy vapor concentrations and the material you are researching has a boiling point of 1,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit and a Vapor Pressure of 0.000000001 mm Hg, then you are either on the wrong page in the book or the entry team is at a different call than you are. The research/science job is often unappreciated. But the information gathered during this process can be critical. This author's chief once entered the command post during the eighth hour of a hazmat incident involving an overturned gasoline tanker that was not leaking and stated, "These hazmat calls sure are boring." Your author here replied, "Yep, just the way I like them." Proper research and understanding the science can prevent all of us from "creating" exciting hazmat calls.
Be safe and do good.

Just thought I'd comment here so your account doesn't get taken away during the forum update
Evan bro. I cringe looking at some of my old emotional comments. I'm turning 17 in a few months. I joined the forum when I was 10. Where has the time gone? Happy New year anyways!
that's cause nobody talks to me anymore, 2 years its been, I feel I'm not wanted here, its like nobody cares e.g. these past few months that I've not been on the forum, nobody's even contacted me or anything.
Before I was bursting to be on my keyboard, spamming and spamming and spamming, then I left for a few months, when I came back, it was not the same, fishman had gone, you'd gone, I wasn't that happy anymore. Maybe other interests have driven me away e.g. scooby doo, WWE (my dad is against violence so, I secretly watch WWE)
Am I just a speck of dust or what?
People haven't been on the threads I like for example...caption the picture, music(video) deathmatch, or the mesut Ozil thread.
do you want me to stay, or should I just float away, Evan old friend, old buddy, old pal?
Agge happened to them.
I've deleted my account... I forget to put that gold link away... registration is closed anyway
I've start spamming anyway...
Start spamming the games section again and I might put your gold link in my sig
The counting thread?
Sadly no
Yeah, I'll change it back when I get bored of this one though :p
i deleted my last account about more than a year ago

Yesterday I got a generic error on the desktop that Anti-Splog could not connect to the server. (Or something like that.) I figured it was a maintenance/upgrade thing and I ignored the warning.
Today I see yellow band in the desktop that reads: "Anti-Splog is almost ready. You must enter your WPMU DEV Premium API key for it to work."
Sure enough, the API key field was blank. I grabbed the key and plugged it back in and all appears fine. I don't think I made any updates or changes to the site yesterday or today.

A small parking lot between 17th and 18th Streets, just off Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, has become an unlikely focal point in a battle over the future of Mayor Bill de Blasio's affordable housing plan.
A developer wants to build a 17-story, 62-unit condominium project on the lot, incorporating an adjacent four-story tenement and five-story loft building, home to Adorama, the venerable camera shop.
To do so, the developer, Acuity Capital Partners, must receive a special permit from the City Planning Commission, because current zoning allows only up to six-story buildings. Several politicians and civic groups argue that because the project will be bigger, it should be subject to the New York City's new mandatory inclusionary housing rules. The rules require that 20 to 30 percent of the project's units be set aside at below-market rents.
Acuity, the real estate industry and even the chairman of the Planning Commission, Carl Weisbrod, have argued that the project is more of a rejiggering of the zoning than an enlargement, and thus it should not obligate the inclusion of affordable housing.
A final decision from the commission is due on Monday. Because this is one of the first developments to be considered after the new housing rules were passed in March, the outcome is likely to affect numerous projects, and potentially thousands of lower-income units, in the future.
It may seem counterintuitive that the administration of Mr. de Blasio, a Democrat, would oppose any effort that could create more affordable housing. The city spent two fraught years crafting one of the most far-reaching mandatory inclusionary housing programs in the country — one that was calibrated not to invite legal challenges.
The concern among city officials is that if the Planning Commission were to interpret the rules on mandatory inclusionary housing, or M.I.H., in a way that would seem overly onerous to developers, it would invite lawsuits that could jeopardize the new rules. Similar programs in places like Los Angeles and San Jose, Calif., have been overturned in court.
"We were 100 percent clear when we did M.I.H. that it applied when you created new residential capacity, and not simply when you applied to move your existing capacity around," Mr. Weisbrod said in an interview.
"We pushed M.I.H. very far," he added. "We have, as I think is universally recognized, the most far-reaching mandates around, and to do that, we pushed the program to the limits of what is legally defensible. We do not want to push it to the point where it could be easily legally challenged."
The de Blasio administration has good reason to want to protect mandatory inclusionary housing in New York, since it is expected to produce at least 12,000 below-market units of the 80,000 that the administration hopes to achieve over the next decade.
Indeed, in less than six months, nearly 1,800 units of affordable housing have been proposed through the program, including vast city-sponsored developments in the Bronx, a 1,500-unit redevelopment of the St. John's terminal building in Manhattan (25 percent of which would be affordable), and even a hotel in the Rockaways, Queens, where housing could be built if the property were flipped.
So far, 38-42 West 18th Street, as the Adorama development is known, is not among them. Because the site is within the Ladies' Mile Historic District, Acuity must build around the tenement and loft buildings, rather than demolish them. As an incentive for historic preservation, developers may seek permission to shift the air rights from older buildings to new ones.
Acuity wants to build a pair of towers reaching 170 and 185 feet; under the current zoning, the shorter tower, which is also narrower, would be capped at 60 feet.
Without the zoning permission, the developer could build only around 40 units. If Acuity were allowed to build its desired 62 apartments, some say it would qualify as "a significant increase in residential floor area," which, as the new housing rules specify, is when they should take effect.
"I don't care if it's two units or 10 units; we want every affordable unit we can get in Manhattan," said Gale A. Brewer, the Manhattan borough president. She said she was led to believe projects like this one would apply, "and now it feels like a bait and switch."
Ms. Brewer, a Democrat, argues that without special permits like this one prompting affordable housing requirements, there will continue to be a lack of new apartments for working- and middle-class New Yorkers in much of Manhattan.
Even the City Planning Commission has had significant debate among its 13 members as to whether the new housing rules should be applied in this instance.
"If you really are just reshaping little bits and pieces and not bringing about a dramatic change, I could see it," one commissioner, Anna Levin, said at a meeting last month. "The hurdle here is whether this is a significant increase in floor area; that's the crux of the problem here."
Mr. Weisbrod maintains that the City Planning Department was clear throughout the public review of the housing program that the new rules would apply only in instances in which the overall development capacity of a project increased, and not simply when the existing capacity was reconfigured, as Mr. Weisbrod and city planning staff argue is the case in the Adorama project.
There are civic concerns beyond housing. Preservation advocates agree that the imposition of mandatory inclusionary housing in this instance could stymie the redevelopment of myriad historic properties.
"We agree that creating affordable units is a laudable goal, but the city has traditionally recognized that preservation is as well," Peg Breen, president of the New York Landmarks Conservancy, said in an email.
It may come down to the City Council to decide the issue. While special permits are normally the purview of the Planning Commission, Ms. Brewer intends to file a letter of objection if the commission does not require the developer to include affordable housing; that letter would then require the Council to hear the matter.
One possible solution that has been discussed within the development team is setting aside a portion of the 22 additional units rather than a portion of the entire 62 units — creating five or six affordable apartments instead of 15.
"While City Planning had been very clear that this is not an M.I.H.-eligible project, we're hoping to come out of this in a way that is satisfying for everyone," Michele de Milly, a spokeswoman for Acuity, said.
Whatever the outcome, this is likely to be the first of many fights over the mandatory inclusionary housing program. "I'm really pleased to see this take effect," Mr. Weisbrod said, "but like any legislative action, it will take time for every scenario to play out."

A specialist rug cleansing service can refrain from doing a higher job. Vacuuming up as a great deal soils as normally as workable will help in maintaining your rug fresh. That's because the dirt receptacle on the bagless vacuum cleaners discharge a lot mud when emptied. Job around in a scientific circle and mud each flooring capacity. This makes sure the most effective air high quality possible.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Prosecutors in Bahrain say they have launched a mass prosecution of 169 defendants suspected of being part of a militant group they refer to as the "Bahraini Hezbollah."
Prosecutors say they have 111 suspects in custody after a series of raids on the island nation off the coast of Saudi Arabia.
A statement on Tuesday accused those arrested of being part of a militant group that received training and support from Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. Iran long has denied supplying militants in Bahrain.
Prosecutors offered pictures of firearms, explosives and other material they say police seized from the group.
Bahrain is in the midst of a crackdown on dissent that has intensified recently in the wake of the island's 2011 Arab Spring protests.

For non-disabled people, audio description would probably be less familiar service compared to captions. Although televisions in public spaces often have captions turned on and YouTube offers auto-caption service, audio description is rarely encountered by people who are not blind or visually impaired. Spending most of my life in my home country Korea where social inclusion of disabled people is far behind in its process than it is in the United States, I never knew that blind and visually impaired people have slightest access to audio-visual media. Most of Korean TV shows, especially talk shows or variety shows, start with a subtitle that says the show is providing captions for hearing-impaired persons, but I have never heard an announcement at the beginning of any show that it is providing audio description for visually impaired persons. After reading the article by Georgina Kleege, I could not help but check Netflix Original Korean dramas if they had audio descriptions: and they all did!
I chose a drama called Memories of the Alhambra which I have never watched before, turned on audio description, closed my eyes, and played it for the first ten minutes. Then, I watched the same part again with my eyes opened to see what I missed. For most of the part, I could see that there is much effort put in the audio description to make everything sound clear and understandable. For example, when there are lot of changes in shots in a short period, audio description does not persist with explaining what can be seen on screen on that exact moment.
In the sequence of shots above, there is a relatively slow transition from the first shot to the second shot and very quick transition from the second shot to the third shot. In order to serve all information in a limited amount of time, audio describer explains that the clock is indicating 11:40 while the screen is lingering on the first shot, in which a viewer can barely notice the clock on top left as their eyes rather follow a male character who hurriedly runs into the crowd (which is also audio described before the clock). Since the time on clock is already described, audio describer can continue talking about the second shot, the phone dangling inside the phone booth, even after it changes in less than 3 seconds into the close-up shot of the clock.
Nonetheless, there was a scene I realized that I missed a lot of information while I was watching with my eyes opened. In this scene, I can see detailed shots of the interior of the hostel, while I can hear news from the hostel at the same time.
The audio description is busy providing what is going on on-screen – how the interior of the hostel looks like – so I can hardly hear the news, which is about a young CEO of a company and his accomplishments. Soon, a door bell buzzes, and a female protagonist, the owner of the hostel, opens the door to welcome a guest, who is a well-dressed, young gentleman. If the audio description had not distracted me from hearing what is said on the news when I was "watching" the scene with my eyes closed, I would have been able to make an assumption that this young gentleman would be that CEO from the news. Such drawback I noticed from audio description on Memories of the Alhambra inspired me to choose Korean audio description service as my subject of study for the final project, so that I can further experience current practices of Korean audio description and experiment ways to improve it.
I believe audio-describer and director should have a thorough conversation about what is more important to be described to the audience in all scenes, so that people with and without sights can have the same level of understanding. Also, as it is discussed in Kleege's article, I believe having an "access producer" from the pre-production stage is highly desirable in any visual media production as it would definitely improve disabled people's experience, since access producer would be able to have a complete understanding of entire production which is crucial for creating quality audio description and captions.

Jeremy Corbyn has today said that he is "sincerely sorry" for the pain caused by "pockets of anti-Semitism" in the Labour party. The Labour leader also confirmed that he would be meeting Jewish leaders this week to "rebuild" confidence in his party. Corbyn also said that Labour was "anti-racist" and he "utterly condemns" antisemitism. Corbyn was responding to an open letter to the Labour Party from the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council. Here are the opening lines of the letter;
Today, leaders of British Jewry tell Jeremy Corbyn that enough is enough. We have had enough of hearing that Jeremy Corbyn "opposes antisemitism", whilst the mainstream majority of British Jews, and their concerns, are ignored by him and those he leads. There is a repeated institutional failure to properly address Jewish concerns and to tackle antisemitism, with the Chakrabarti Report being the most glaring example of this. Jeremy Corbyn did not invent this form of politics, but he has had a lifetime within it, and now personifies its problems and dangers. He issues empty statements about opposing antisemitism, but does nothing to understand or address it. We conclude that he cannot seriously contemplate antisemitism, because he is so ideologically fixed within a far left worldview that is instinctively hostile to mainstream Jewish communities.
Rather than eviscerate this garbage in a robust response, Corbyn capitulated. What a shame. This latest silliness has come about because of a Facebook post that dates back to 2012. In October of that year the street artist Mear One posted a picture of his mural in east London called "Freedom of Humanity" on Facebook, with the words: "Tomorrow they want to buff my mural. Freedom of expression. London calling. Public Art." Corbyn responded: "Why? You are in good company. Rockerfeller destroyed Diego Viera's mural because it includes a picture of Lenin."
The mural depicts a group of men sitting around a Monopoly board. Above them is a pyramid with the all seeing eye. The artist whose real name is Kalen Ockerman has denied being antisemitic, saying that the mural was about "class and privilege". Given the opportunity to interview Ockerman I would ask him why does he deny that his mural is about Jewish power when it so obviously is and also why he portrayed the men with big noses. Challenging Zionist influence in UK politics is fair and appropriate, however I would argue that reproducing old Nazi caricatures is not. But I defend his right to paint whatever he wants, to say what he wants and importantly to think as he likes. Corbyn was right to lend the artist his support back in 2012, but of course he wasn't Labour leader then and in with a great shout of becoming the country's next Prime Minister. It's astonishing to see how Corbyn and his mates John McDonnell and Seumas Milne (remember his Guardian columns) prostrate themselves before the Zionist lobby when they once led the resistance to it.
Antisemitism is not on the rise in the UK. There is absolutely no evidence anywhere to support this. Claims that attacks on Jews are on the increase, made by Zionist lobby groups like The Campaign Against Antisemitism, have been utterly debunked by the Crown Prosecution Service and importantly by the Institute For Jewish Policy Research which last year conducted what it called "the largest and most detailed survey of attitudes towards Jews and Israel ever conducted in Great Britain". The survey found that the levels of antisemitism in Great Britain were among the lowest in the world, with 2.4% expressing multiple anti-Semitic attitudes, and about 70% having a favourable opinion of Jews. However, only 17% had a favourable opinion of Israel, with 33% holding an unfavourable view. There is no endemic hatred of Jews in the UK, none at all. There is no evidence that Jews are more likely to be victims of crimes motivated by bigotry.
There is however evidence that revulsion for the Zionist apartheid state of Israel is on the rise. It's a joy to behold that, it really is. People make a very definite distinction between their Jewish friends, neighbours and workmates and the actions of the Israeli government. People are waking up to the extent of the influence wielded by the Zionist lobby on public life here. It's in their faces. When they see Priti Patel (then International Development Secretary) taking her holiday in Israel, meeting with the Israeli government and not telling her Prime Minister, they know what's really going on. When they see the Israeli embassy campaigning to smear and attack British citizens critical of Israel and its practices and attempting to destroy politicians like Alan Duncan, they know what's going on. Support for the Boycott Divestment & Sanctions movement is growing too. That's not going down too well in Tel Aviv. There's never been a better time to take on these fascists but rather than do so and make a firm stand for free speech and freedom of thought, Corbyn collapses and Gaza weeps.

Hi Guys!
Sorry for the lack of posting recently it has been such a busy time over the holiday period with Christmas and New year. I hope you all had tons of fun and have celebrated the new year in with lots of memories! We will be working on making some improvements to the blog to be able to share more of our fashion/ make up favourites and lifestyle loves far more frequently. So watch this space!
This Christmas was the same as usual for me, spent with my immediate family mum, dad and two sisters. Although I did see christmas in with a few of my lovely friends which was a first to going out christmas eve and I think will now be an annual thing! The planning for new year's eve this year was taken very seriously! I'm sure you can all relate to having disappointing celebrations in the past so it was decided that we plan ahead. We chose to have dinner at Roka, Mayfair one of my favourite restaurants, one of the best Japanese restaurants in London in my opinion. If you haven't tried I would definitely recommend. For afterwards we had pre bought tickets to an event called Love Juice at M hotel, Threadneedle street. This was a fun night out although I would have preferred if the space wasn't divided into two rooms playing separate music. The upstairs was a beautiful open space with a stunning staircase in the middle taking the centre piece, while downstairs was an odd area with a box room and carpet. For a moment we were downstairs when we suddenly realised the time was 23:58 we bolted up the stairs to make the countdown just on time! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you all have a fantastic 2016 filed with health, wealth, love and wisdom!
For my outfit I decided to go with full on sparkle to match the occasion, I particularly loved this dress as it has shoulder pads to create a much more structured silhouette with a complimentary plunge neckline to add some extra sex appeal!
For my hair I kept it simple with just a straight blow-dry and my makeup I tried a bronze and gold shadow with my new favoutite lip colours by Mac. The whirl lipliner and lipstick.
Thank you for reading!

As a company committed to improving people's lives and making the world a better place, Lucite International (LI) is always seeking ways to do its bit to contribute. And 'being a caring neighbour' is one of our most important values that drives us in this respect. Looking back over the past few months, we've managed to collect numerous stories from all around the world where LI employees have given something back to their local communities. We've helped children in schools as well as national and local charities; we've also supported local employment and helped those less fortunate. Here are just five of those stories showing how we bring one of our most important values to life.
Ladies run 'Race for Life' for one of the UK's leading cancer charities
A group of LI ladies based at Cassel site wore specially printed t-shirts as they ran the breast cancer charity's 'Race for Life', a 5k sprint around Middlesbrough town centre. The team had fun, ran well and raised just under £1000 for the charity.
Foodbank helps those in most need in Teesside, UK
Billingham Foodbank, located close to LI's Cassel site in the northeast of England, provides emergency food and support to local people in crisis. Every day parents skip meals to feed their children and have to choose between paying the rent and eating. People at our Cassel site have done something to help by donating 91kg (200lbs) of non-perishable foods including sugar, rice, tinned soup, dried pasta, pasta sauces, tea and instant coffee to provide for those who are struggling.
Employees donate school supplies in Tennessee, USA
Our Fite Road operation in TN, USA has donated school supplies including notebooks, pencils and crayons plus uniforms to help students at Woodstock Middle School whose parents are struggling financially. Employees have always given generously but the recent donation was greatly appreciated as truly benefited children who began a new school year in the summer.
Talented school children recognised at TPA, our operation in Thailand
Each year Chate Pattanakul, Managing Director of TPA, presents certificates and small gifts to the children of TPA staff, who have achieved the best score in their grade at school. Recently, winners for the 2014 academic year received their rewards and are pictured here with their proud parents.
Schools visit Cassel to learn about LI
Pupils from two local schools – St Michaels and Northfield – visited Cassel site to learn about life in the chemical industry. As part of an on-going programme to build closer links with the local community, Dawn Reed, HR Development Manager, and some of the on-site team enjoyed delivering lively presentations to the children. The two groups were then taken on site tours. The children and their teachers described the visits as fun, informative and really enjoyable.

Egypt Today
CBE governor to assume duties as chairman of AFI Board of Directors Tuesday
Sunday، 08 September 2019 - 02:27 PM
Governor of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) Tarek Amer will assume his duties as the new chairman of the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) Board of Directors on Tuesday.
Lobna Helal, the CBE deputy governor, has held the post of head of the Gender and Women's Financial Inclusion Committee since 2016.
Amer will assume the board chairmanship on the fringe of AFI meetings, which will kick start in the Rwandan capital Monday, a source with the CBE told MENA Sunday.
Amer had been appointed as vice-chairperson of the AFI Board of Directors in 2018.
The CBE has been an effective member of the AFI since 2013.
A report by the CBE said Sunday that several steps had been taken to entrench financial inclusion across Egypt, with the aim to include as many citizens as possible in the financial system.
In 2018, the CBE established a database of financial inclusion and is currently working on a field study to determine financial services being used by the different financial institutions.
The services are offered at suitable prices in line with Egypt's 2030 development strategy, the report said.

I have seen local politicians come and go. Some choose not to seek re-election while others are defeated. Either way I have never seen an "ex" politician attend the incoming successors meeting. Until recently. Our new Mayor Danielle Jury took office in December and the ex-mayor was in the audience when she took her oath of office. I thought it was a little odd that the "ex" was there, I kept thinking that maybe he was only showing his support for the new mayor. The "ex" has attended every meeting since then and sometimes arrives earlier than our new mayor.
I posed the following question to local political guru Jeff Graham. Should the ex-mayor attend everyone of his successors meetings? You will have to watch the video below to see Graham's reply.
Bloggers Note:
Remember when you were a teenager and making out? How would you feel if one or both of your parents were sitting there watching... making sure you do it the right way. Creepy? YOU BET! Almost like the ex- mayor attending the new mayors first, second, third, ...... meetings. Making sure she runs the village the right way.... Just a random thought...

|Reviews for Answers to Questions I Don't Have
| AGirlNamedMeli chapter 22 . 5/3/2017
Great fucking story. I read it all and loved every single moment.
| guest chapter 22 . 4/5/2014
I don't think it was okay for Ashley to push Spencer down continuously so roughly and to hit her. That's frikkin horrible. It's not okay at all, i don't see how Spencer apologized first then just accepted Ashley's apology. I mean, Ashley just assumed that Spencer did something so horrible then got all rough with her. She gave her a cut on the lip. Wth? And she hit Spencer for her ex girlfriend! That's completely wrong. Spencer should not have forgiven Ashley so easily. There was a Spashley fic i read that where Ashley and Spencer got into a yelling match and Ashley slapped Spencer. Spencer's reaction to having her girlfriend slap her like that was so realistic and Ashley's utter remorse and guilt was heartbreaking and realistic too. Spencer didn't forgive Ashley just like that because what Ashley did was wrong.
And with Spencer's attitude she's basically just Madison from the show. So i find it weird how Ashley fell for her when she acted like a homophobic bitch and follower. No one likes people who don't make their own decisions and pretend to be super horrible just to fit in. That's called being fake. Ashley was horrible too but fake people suck. Picking on someone to stay popular or whatever is stupid.
Meg was a bitch and an idiot and never really had Spencer to begin with so she had no right to go all mental.
Mac was a horrible girlfriend but a good friend.

The flip side of Sexual Harassment: Escaping cries of 'Wolf'
4 comments
This Sexual harassment topic is really more complicated than I had assumed. Point 2 will really save a lot of people from unnecessary drama.ReplyDelete
So nice....ReplyDelete
This is absolutely a great eye opener for many. However, not every relationship between a superior and a subordinate has the coloration of one lording it over the other. Some are really genuine, mutual and level-playing and for these ones, they go on for months or even years without anyone knowing - usually, until they are ready to walk the aisle.ReplyDelete
On another note, there are many workplace policies that prohibit marriages between co-workers. And I do understand the business case behind these strict rules. However, these, to me, are a violation of the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of association. Ditto, laws criminalizing relationship between lecturers and students.
Sorry I drove attention away from the subject matter - harrassment. On this, I think the gavel should be brought down on employers who fail to provide a safe "work" environment for thier employees. Some jurisdictions have included "emotional" harassment as part of factors that constitute unsafe workplace that employers must ensure they prevent or face severe penalties.
Thanks for keeping us informed on a matter that is usually swept under the carpet - workplace sexual harassment.

The start of April is the official launch of the Smile365 programme, which is designed to support businesses with their local charitable giving and help sustain Smile's core delivery.
2018 is Smile's 10th birthday year and a time to celebrate the £2million community investment we've secured across Hull and East Yorkshire to date. But it's also a time to reflect and ensure we're here to support our local communities for the next 10 years, which is why Smile365 was born.
Businesses of any size, from any industry, can become a Smile365 member by making a donation to fund Smile for a day, or a number of days for as little as £365. This enables like-minded businesses to collaboratively make a difference to both Smile and their local community, reaping the benefits for businesses along the way.
The uptake with local organisations has been fantastic, with numerous businesses already committing to Smile365, including:
Armadillo Storage
Melvyn Sadofsky Business Consultant
Andrew & Linda Milner
Raymond James Investment Services
The Insurance Partnership Financial Services
Danielle Rice-Hewitt, Operations Director at Hugh Rice, explained why they've have signed up:
"We've supported Smile since 2014 and we're delighted to be part of Smile365. We knew we wanted to support local charities, but knowing which ones and how to help is difficult.
"Smile's knowledge and experience of the local community has made it easy for us to support a wide range of local causes. They ensure our support is utilised in the best way, maximising our community investment and the impact it has.
"We support Smile because we see the value in what they bring not only to the community, but our business too."
Smile works hard to give a voice to local charities and has supported over 500 projects to date. During one quarter in 2017 we generated £531,784 for local projects. Smile is also home to the Vault, which is a giant library of equipment which charities and community groups can borrow free of cost for their events; last year over 5,000 pieces of equipment were borrowed.
Last year, two local NHS charities managed by Smile, were able to invest over £750,000 to benefit patient care. All items, training and specialist equipment provided fell outside of statutory NHS funding, but made a big difference.
Smile365 enables businesses to ensure Smile can continue to bring good intentions to life across Hull and East Yorkshire. From a simple donation, to engaging their employees in volunteering and complete corporate social responsibility packages, Smile365 provides a variety of opportunities for local businesses to support their community.
Please contact us for more information about Smile365.

The Finnish grocery trade is characterised by the formation of chains and the centralisation of procurement and logistics. The situation is similar in the other Nordic countries; without large volumes it is impossible to be as efficient as necessary in vast, sparsely populated countries. Without sufficient cost-efficiency, prices would escalate, selections would shrink, and customers would have a poorer service and reduced accessibility.
The structure of the Finnish grocery trade has also been changed by the migration to growth centres, as well as a more extensive selection of goods and underlying IT development that has made the management of such selection possible. In 25 years, the number of market-size stores has gone down from nearly 10,000 stores to less than 2,800 stores. Selections have tripled in 25 years.
Large stores are clearly more cost efficient than smaller ones. For a long time, large stores have played a significant role in Finland. The largest stores, that is to say 30 per cent of stores, account for 82 per cent of all grocery sales. However, smaller stores are a lot more important than their volume might suggest in their role in maintaining the food supply and the habitability of the entire country and as local service providers.
In 2019, the value of grocery retail sales was approximately 18.6 billion euros. Statistics and more information about the grocery trade in Finland.

Operativo Independencia (1975-1977)
Operation Soberanía (1978)
Falkland Islands (1982)
Gulf War (1990-1991)
The Argentine Air Force (Spanish: Fuerza Aérea Argentina, or simply FAA) is the national aviation branch of the Armed Forces of the Argentine Republic. In 2010 it had 14,600 military personnel and 6,900 civilian personnel.[2]
The Air Force's history begins with the establishment of the Argentine Navy officer. The school began to turn out military pilots who participated in milestone events in Argentine aviation, such as the crossing of the Andes mountains.
In 1927 the Dirección General de Aeronáutica (General Directorate of Aeronautics) was created to coordinate the country's military aviation. In that same year the Fábrica Militar de Aviones (Military Aircraft Factory, FMA), which would become the heart of the country's aviation industry, was founded in Córdoba.
By 1938–39 Argentina's air power had about 3,200 staff (including about 200 officers), and maintained about 230 aircraft. About 150 of these were operated by the army and included Dewoitine D.21 and Curtiss P-36 Hawk fighters; Breguet 19 reconnaissance planes; Northrop A-17 and Martin B-10 bombers, North American NA-16 trainers, Focke-Wulf Fw 58 as multi-role planes, and Junkers Ju 52 and Fairchild 82 transports. About 80 were operated by the navy and included the Supermarine Southampton, Supermarine Walrus, Fairey Seal, Fairey III, Vought O2U Corsair, Consolidated P2Y, Curtiss T-32 Condor II, Douglas Dolphin and Grumman J2F Duck.[3]
By the 1940s there were several air units in the Army and the Navy; the first step towards an independent force came on 11 February 1944 with the establishment of the Aeronautical Command, which would go on to become the Argentine Air Force on 4 January 1945, an independent force on par with the Army and the Navy.
Immediately after the end of World War II, in which the Argentine Air Force took no part, it began a process of modernization, incorporating aircraft such as the Gloster Meteor jet fighter, thus becoming the first air force in Latin America equipped with jet-propelled aircraft. In addition, a number of Avro Lincoln and Avro Lancaster bombers were acquired, creating a powerful strategic force in the region. The Air Force, with former Luftwaffe officers as consultants and German technicians, also began to develop its own aircraft, such as the Pulqui I and Pulqui II, making Argentina the first country in Latin America and the sixth in the world to develop jet fighter technology on its own. Also locally developed aircraft, like the I.Ae. 22 DL trainer and the I.Ae. 24 Calquin tactical bomber, were added to the inventory.
In 1952 the Air Force began flight to supply the Antarctic scientific bases using ski-equipped C-47s[4] and establishing Marambio Base on 25 September 1969. On 11 April 1970[5] they began landing C-130 Hercules aircraft, when the TC-61 commanded by Commodore Arturo Athos Gandolfi was the first airplane to land in Marambio,[6] and the Fokker F-28 Fellowship presidential aircraft T-01 Patagonia is reported to be the first jet to have landed at Marambio, on 28 July 1973.[7][8] and since the 1970s Twin Otters are also deployed.[9] On October 1973 the FAA launched Operation Transantar, achieving the first trans-Antarctic three-continental flight in history when a C-130 flew between Rio Gallegos; Marambio, Argentine Antarctica; Christchurch, New Zealand and Canberra, Australia.[10][11]
During the 1970s the Air Force re-equipped itself with modern aircraft, including Mirage III interceptors, IAI Dagger multi-role fighters (Israeli derivatives of the Mirage V), A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft and C-130 Hercules cargo planes. A counter-insurgency airplane, the Pucará, was also used in substantial numbers.
The Falklands War (Spanish: Guerra de las Malvinas/Conflicto del Atlántico Sur), took a great toll on the Air Force, which lost 60 aircraft. After the war, due to the deteriorating economic situation, international opposition and political distrust of the military, the Air Force was denied the resources needed to replace the war losses. This, coupled with diminishing budgets, led to a period of reduced activity and growing materiel obsolescence.
After the war Britain imposed an arms embargo on Argentina, which was discontinued in the 1990s. After attempts to acquire surplus IAI Kfirs or F-16As failed for economic and political reasons, the United States military sold Argentina 36 A-4AR Fightinghawks, a refurbished and upgraded version of the A-4 Skyhawks used in the war.
The FAA has been involved in United Nations peacekeeping missions around the world. They sent a Boeing 707 to the 1991 Gulf War. Since 1994 the UN Air contingent (UNFLIGHT) in Cyprus under UNFICYP mandate is provided by the FAA,[12] having achieved 10,000 flight hours by 2003 without any accidents.[13] The FAA has also since 2005 deployed Bell 212 helicopters to Haiti under MINUSTAH mandate.
In early 2005 the top seventeen brigadiers of the Air Force, including the Chief of Staff, Brigadier General Carlos Rohde, were sacked by President Néstor Kirchner following a scandal involving drug trafficking through Ezeiza International Airport. Kirchner cited failures in the security systems of Argentine airports (which were overseen by the National Aeronautic Police, a branch of the Air Force) and cover-ups of the scandal; it later became known that many government agencies, among them the Interior Ministry, the Customs Administration and the Secretariat of State Intelligence knew about the drug trafficking.
The primary concerns of the Air Force as of 2010 are the establishment of a radar network for control of the country's airspace, the replacement of its older combat aircraft (Mirage III, Mirage V) and the incorporation of new technologies. The possibility of purchasing surplus French Air Force Mirage 2000C fighters, like the option chosen by the Brazilian Air Force, has been considered.
Since the 1990s the FAA has established good relations with its neighbours, the Brazilian and Chilean Air Forces. They annually meet, on a rotation basis, in the joint exercises Cruzex in Brazil, Ceibo in Argentina and Salitre in Chile.
In 2007 an FAA FMA IA 58 Pucará was converted to use a modified engine operating on soy-derived bio-jet fuel. The project, financed and directed by the Argentine Government (Secretaría de Ciencia Tecnología e Innovación Productiva de la Nación), made Argentina the second nation in the world to propel an aircraft with biojet fuel. The purpose of the project is to make the FAA less reliant on fossil fuels.
As of 2010 budgetary constraints continued, leading to the disbanding of the Boeing 707 transport squadron and maintenance problems for half of the C-130 Hercules fleet. This was particularly evident when, in a matter of days in March, the same C-130 aircraft could be seen, in addition to their routine missions, traveling 3 to times to Haiti, 9 times to Chile (in both cases delivering humanitarian aid) and also doing a resupply airdrop to the Argentine southernmost Antarctic base Belgrano II.
In August 2010 a contract was signed for two Mi-17E helicopters, plus an option on a further three, to support Antarctic bases[14][15] although no official destination form them have been release yet and is possible that they will be assigned to the Argentine Army Aviation.
The FAA is seeking to replace its ageing force with a more capable and more serviceable modern aircraft. The acquisition of Spanish Mirage F1Ms, IAI Kfir Block 60s[16] and Saab Gripen E/Fs was considered, but as of February 2015, all of those deals appear to have stalled; The Mirage F1 deal was scrapped by the Spanish government in March 2014 after pressure of the UK to not assist in FAA modernization over tensions between the countries over the Falkland Islands.[17] The UK has also managed to veto the sale of Gripen E/Fs, as 30% of the Gripen's parts are manufactured there. The deal with Israel has reportedly stalled for technical and political reasons. China has reportedly offered JF-17/FC-1 or Chengdu J-10 to Argentina. The two countries have formed a working group to look into the transfer of 14 aircraft.[18][19] Russia had also offered to lease 12 Su-24 strike aircraft to the FAA, but Jane's reported that the Su-24 wouldn't be very useful to the FAA and that "it would appear that any proposed transfer of such aircraft is likely the result of Russia playing political games with the UK over the continuing crisis in Ukraine.".[20]
The Argentine Air Force is one of the three branches of the Argentine military, having equal status with the Army and the Navy. The President of Argentina is Commander-in-Chief of all three services.
The Air Force is headed by the Chief of the General Staff (Jefe del Estado Mayor General), directly appointed and removed by the President. The Air Force Chief of Staff usually holds the rank of Brigadier General, the highest rank of the Air Force. The Chief of Staff is seconded by a Deputy Chief of the General Staff and three senior officers in charge of the Air Force's three Commands: the Air Operations Command, the Personnel Command and the Materiel Command.
The Air Operations Command (Comando de Operaciones Aéreas) is the branch of the Air Force responsible for aerospace defense, air operations, planning, training, technical and logistical support of the air units. Subordinate to the Air Operations Command are the Air Brigades (Brigadas Aéreas), the Air Force's major operative units. A total of eight Air Brigades are currently operational. Brigades are headquartered at Military Air Bases (Base Aérea Militar (BAMs).
Each Air Brigade is made up of three Groups, each bearing the same number as their mother Brigade. These groups include:
The Personnel Command (Comando de Personal) is responsible for the training, education, assignment and welfare of Air Force personnel. Under the control of the Personnel Command are the Military Aviation School (which educates the future officers of the Air Force), the Air Force Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) School and other educational and training units.
The Materiel Command (Comando de Material) deals with planning and executing the Air Force's logistics regarding flying and ground materiel. Materiel Command includes "Quilmes" and "Río Cuarto" Materiel Areas (repairing and maintenance units) and "El Palomar" Logistical Area.
Officers wear their rank insignia in their sleeves, in the pattern depicted below. There are also shoulderboards with the same insignia (albeit in gray) for the ranks between Ensign and Commodore. General officers wear different shoulder boards.
