seek better antidote to industrial poisons
By Anna Nelson, Swiss Info
Ministers and officials from over 100 countries
are meeting in Geneva this week for a high-level conference on
the import and export of hazardous chemicals.
Pesticides and industrial chemicals have poisoned millions of
people in recent decades and killed tens of thousands, according
to the United Nations.
"Every human being on Earth carries in his or her body traces
of various hazardous chemicals, many of which have been linked
to cancer, birth defects and other health problems," the
UN's Environment Programme (UNEP) said in a statement.
The five-day meeting, which begins on Monday, is being chaired
by the head of the Swiss environment agency, Philippe Roch.
It marks the debut of the so-called Rotterdam Convention, which
aims to reduce the health and environmental risks of hazardous
chemicals by regulating the import and export of such products
– especially in developing nations.
"Increasing human and environmental security is one of
the most important anticipated outcomes of this convention,"
Roch told swissinfo.
"It will also give underdeveloped countries an effective
tool to judge the toxicity of the products they sell and to better
control the import of certain products," Roch added.
Some 70,000 different chemicals are available on the market today
and around 1,500 new ones are introduced every year, making it
difficult for many countries to monitor and manage potentially
dangerous substances.
According to the UNEP, many pesticides that have been banned
or severely restricted in industrialised countries are still marketed
and used in developing nations.
Roch said he hoped the Rotterdam Convention would provide a means
to better protect people living in rural areas by "helping
countries learn from each other and increase their understanding
of the risks of hazardous chemicals".
First line of defence
The UNEP blames accidents, misuse and inadequate controls of hazardous
chemicals for poisoning millions of people and the agency hopes
the treaty will provide a "first line of defence"
for human health and the environment.
"The winners created by this new convention will range
from subsistence farmers to nursing mothers to wildlife,"
said the UNEP's executive director, Klaus Töpfer.
"Another beneficiary will be the ambitious agenda for sustainable
development and poverty alleviation set out two years ago this
month in Johannesburg by the World Summit on Sustainable Development,"
he added.
Under the provisions of the convention, authorisation to export
the most hazardous chemical pesticides and products will no longer
be granted unless the importing country gives its prior informed
consent (PIC).
At present, 22 pesticides and five chemical products are subject
to the PIC procedures, including the insecticide, DDT, and polychlorinated
biphenyls or PCBs, which are used in transformers.
Carcinogenic asbestos and highly toxic mercury compounds are
also covered by the treaty.
Roch said one of the aims of this week's conference was
to add 14 new substances to the "watch list" as well
as to define ways to ensure the convention's long-term effectiveness.
Swiss role
The decision on the site of the permanent Secretariat of the Convention
is also expected to be taken at the end of the conference.
Geneva and the Italian capital, Rome, have managed the secretariat
together since 1998 and have submitted a joint candidature for
the permanent seat. They are up against the German city of Bonn.
Both the Swiss and Italian governments argue that a vote in their
favour would underscore the international community's desire
to achieve greater coherence and synergy when it comes to international
"The experience of the past five years has show that the
dual seat of the secretariat is a workable and effective solution,"
the Swiss environment agency said in a statement.
"This is a very important decision for Switzerland,"
Roch added.

In this extract from our Nepal Travel Guide, we look at some experiences that you must not miss while in this magical Himalayan nation.
Kathmandu's sister city Patan doesn't get the attention it deserves. It is home to the central Durbar Square and the Patan Museum, easily the best in the country. Throw in four ancient stupas and the valley's best collection of international restaurants and it's clear you need a couple of trips to take it all in. Even better, spend the night here and you'll likely have the backstreets all to yourself.
Elephant Safari, Chitwan National Park
In the humid plains of Nepal lies Chitwan National Park, one of Asia's best wildlife parks and the place to clamber atop a lumbering elephant and head into the dawn mist in search of the elusive one-horned rhino. There's plenty to do here, from joining the elephants at bath time to canoeing, and the brave can even take a guided walk through the jungle surrounded by the hoots and roars of the forest.
Pashupatinath Temple
Nepal's most sacred Hindu temple, Pashupatinath is situated on the banks of the Bagmati River. Only Hindus are allowed to enter this temple, where Shiva is worshipped as Pashupati, Lord of Beasts. Sadhus and devotees of Shiva flock to Pashupatinath and many Nepalis choose to be cremated on the banks of the holy river. There is a thriving market around the temple selling marigolds, incense, conch shells, rudraksha beads, photos of deities and other religious paraphernalia.
Views from Pokhara
Pokhara may lack the historical depth of Kathmandu, but it more than makes up for this with a seductively laid-back vibe and one of the country's most spectacular locations. The dawn views of Machhapuchhare and Annapurna, mirrored in the calm waters of Phewa Lake or from the town's hilltop viewpoints, particularly Sarangkot, are simply unforgettable.
Everest Base Camp Trek
For many people, the two-week Everest Base Camp Trek is the adventure of a lifetime. The trek to the base of the world's highest mountain does not offer particularly spectacular views of Everest as the mountain is often hidden behind ridges, but the surrounding peaks like Pumori, Ama Dablam, Kangtega and Thamserku piercing the clouds are truly awe-inspiring. The half-hour you spend atop Kala Pattar watching the sunset on a 180-degree arc of peaks is worth the uphill struggle. At the end of the day, you can retire at one of the many comfortable lodges along the way and unwind with a cup of tea and a hot dal-bhaat meal.

Sanislău lies in the western part of the county on the Carei Plain, close to the Hungarian border. It is accessible both by car (on DN19 and DJ 47 from Satu Mare) and train from any of the area's big cities. Ciumeşti, Berea and Viişoara were separated in 2004, therefore the municipality currently only includes Sanislău (3193 inhabitants), Marna Nouă (355 inhabitants) and Horea (less than 200 inhabitants).
45,59% of its total population (3760) is Romanian, 44,47% Hungarian, 7,49% Roma and 1,81% German.
Agriculture dominates its economy and locust forests, used both as a honey plants area and hunting ground, cover large areas. Small industrial and services units also work in the municipality.
Vermeş marsh, a natural reservation that protects rare plants and animals identified in these parts, is part of Sanislău municipality. The marsh is the only place were Galinago gallinago nests have been found.
Sanislău, the municipality center was mentioned in 1306 for the first time. Archeological researches have discovered traces of human activity starting from the Neolithic, but Bronze and Iron Age vestiges have also been discovered.
The Kaplony clan owned the village in the XIVth century and left it to its descendents, the Károlyis in the XVth century. Later the Reszegeis, Báthoris and Bánffys all owned lands in the village. In the second half of the XVIIIth century the biggest landowners, the Károlyis brought Kraut settlers to Sanislău. The camp where Krauts of the region were gathered before being sent off to labor camps in the Soviet Union was in Sanislău. 16 of the village's 188 deportees never returned home.
The Calvinist church dates from the XVth century, its sanctuary and buttresses indicate its initial Gothic style. The church was renovated after the 1834 earthquake and its current tower was added in 1869.
The Saint Michael and Gabriel Archangels Orthodox church was built in 1910.
The Roman Catholic church built in 1824 was rebuilt ten years later after the earthquake. Dedicated initially to Saint George, it was enlarged and renovated in 1970 and was dedicated on the occasion to the Birth of Mother of God.
Sanislău is the birth place of Gavril Lazăr de Purcăreţ, archpriest, member of the Memorandum movement, Gheorghe Bulgăr (1920-2002), philologist and literary historian and Coriolan Coltău (1919-1970), poet, journalist and translator who wrote under the pseudonym Costa Carei.
Horea was established between the two world wars by settlers from the Western Mountains. The Orthodox church was built in 1930 and dedicated to Saint Nicholas Hierarch. In 2006, Horea's bust was unveiled in the village center, its sculptor is Perţa-Cuza Alexandru.
Marna Nouă was established in 1924 as another colony of settlers from Cluj county. Its orthodox church dedicated to Saint Emperors Constantin and Elena was built in 1974.

Perhaps correlated with last week's question, I'm wondering how many hours a week you work on average. How many hours do you work at the office, and how many hours do you work from home? Do you respond to work emails from home? Regarding the photo above, do you feel like you are fairly compensated for your work?

I'm sitting in my living room, waiting for pot pies to finish baking (store bought—I'm not that domestic yet), and listening to the cars on the road and the sounds of yet another football game emitting from the elementary school across the street. (Before I moved here I didn't know that they had football games at elementary schools. But that's really beside the point.)
As of earlier this evening, I've made it through Chapter Eighteen of ye olde revision, and despite the fact that I've eleven chapters still to go and only six days left in the month, I'm feeling pretty good about it. Who knows, maybe it's possible to revise eleven chapters in six days. I'm going to find out.
I also have a mini confession to make:
In spite of my bellyaching about how much I HATE revising, I've come to realize that I sort of like it. Okay, "like" might be too strong of a word, but there's something satisfying about making one's writing better. Having enough distance and presence of mind to recognize the inherent crappiness of certain sections and then proceeding to fix them is all kinds of wonderful. It's really quite nifty to be able to reshape a story so that it more closely adheres to the original vision. It's hard and frustrating and sometimes makes you just want to run off screaming and become a botanist, but ultimately I think it's even more rewarding than finishing a rough draft.
At least I hope so. So far I know Draft #2 is vastly superior to Draft #1, and that's a really, really awesome feeling.
Pot pies are done. Time for a late dinner!

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Justin Haley joined teammate Johnny Sauter in the four-man field for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship, winning at Texas Motor Speedway on Friday night for an automatic berth.
Haley raced to his third victory of the season, taking the lead with a half-lap remaining after fellow teenager Todd Gilliland ran out of gas. Haley locked up the second spot in the Nov. 16 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, a week after GMS Racing teammate Johnny Sauter took the first position by winning at Martinsville Speedway.
Ben Rhodes was second, followed by playoff driver Brett Moffitt. Gilliland ended up fourth after leading a race-high 60 laps. Among the other championship contenders, Matt Crafton was ninth, Noah Gragson 10th and Grant Enfinger 12th.
Sauter had an unscheduled stop early after running over some debris and puncturing a tire en route to an 11th-place finish.

Failure Looms: Trudeau's Lav-Scam Snowballs, as Federal Elections Approach
The governing federal liberals are likely to lose their party status, the same way Kathleen Wynne's Ontario Liberals, lost theirs, says Andre Marin, writing for the Toronto Sun. The only way to avoid this, writes the columnist, is for Justin Trudeau to"check his ego at the door." In addition to dropping his ego, Trudeau was also advised to own up and concede that he and his allies messed up and won't interfere with criminal prosecutions again.
Trudeau ego was likened to that of Wynne who lost all touch with the people and believed she could beat all odds all by herself until Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives came along with a simple three-word slogan: "For the People." And took the leadership seat away from her.
It took Wynne about a decade to lose the Ontario seat, but it's taking Trudeau just about three years, and worse still he seems to be in a free-fall just seven months before the elections. At present, a lot of Canadians are disappointed with Trudeau's recent actions and the actions of his party allies such as PCO head Michael Wernick, especially how they have handled the entire SNC Lavalin scandal, now popularly called LavScam.
"The past few weeks have been an abysmal, slow-motion train wreck in issues management for the Trudeau Government," Ottawa-based political analyst YaroslavBaransaid, speaking with CNN.
When he was elected, Trudeau had promised to bring Canada back, but his actions these past few weeks could only be taking Canada backwards, right now Canada is under investigations by The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. They are reviewing the country's compliance with the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. "That's the kind of review you'd expect of developing countries rife with corruption." Says Marin. "Interestingly, Trudeau and his bunch of gofers justified harassing Wilson-Raybould into a deferred prosecution agreement by claiming they could save 9,000 jobs. But a country is under an OECD bribery investigation sends bad vibes to international businesses who might want to invest in Canada. Brilliant."
Worse still, in the face of all this, Trudeau remains unrepentant. He is neither contrite nor apologetic and blames the former attorney general, Wilson-Raybould for not coming to him with her protests. Even after she had given evidence, that she did meet him with her objections.
Recently, Trudeau seems to be busy with any other thing but the issue at hand. Last week, on Wednesday 13th of March when the Justice Committee was to hold an emergency meeting to discuss bringing back Wilson-Raybould for a second appearance. Trudeau's Liberals used their majority to adjourn the committee's work to budget day, it is apparent, that they hope that the budget's news would swallow upLavscam. Trudeau has also been vacationing, going from North Captiva Island to Florida while the image of its government gets even more tainted.
This begs questions about the Prime Minister's commitment to the core values that got him that federal seat in the first place.If Trudeau keeps this up, Conservative Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer might just be having a smooth ride in the forthcoming elections.

I was thinking of going to the dermatologist. Should I tell my provider that I have skin? This was my reaction to a dizzying fight over the bill I received for the delivery of my baby and our hospital stay. We're lucky to have insurance, I know that. But imagine my surprise when my provider wanted me to pay a penalty of several hundred dollars for not clearing it with them when I arrived at the hospital at 2:30 a.m. to have a baby.
"You must have known at some point that you were pregnant, and that's when you should have told us."
"You've been paying for my pre-natal visits. Isn't that–?"
"With your doctor. This is a hospital bill. It's completely separate."
"Why exactly? Never mind. I did pre-register with the hospital, and we did call you to find out what would be covered months ago."
This is really nothing compared to the nightmare my friend is facing. After severe back labor at her home for 14 hours, she went to the hospital and was advised to get an epidural. Now she's got a bill of a few thousand dollars for using an anesthesiologist who wasn't in network. Evidently she was supposed to ask in the thirty seconds between contractions. They would have told her that he was the only anesthesiologist in the hospital, so I'm not sure what she was supposed to do after that.

On June 11, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 4-4 decision in what is known as the "Culvert Case." The Culvert Case involves a 17-year battle over who pays to install or replace stream culverts where salmon are blocked. The effect of the tie decision means that the lower court decision stands, requiring Washington state to pay 100 percent of the cost of replacing barrier culverts even though the federal government provided the design for those culverts and regardless of whether other barrier culverts (i.e. owned by federal and local governments) block salmon from getting to the state culverts.
The case, United States v. Washington, began in 2001 when 21 tribes sued the state, claiming that culverts under state roads infringe upon the tribes' treaty-protected fishing rights by blocking salmon from their spawning grounds. In 2013, a U.S. District judge ordered the state to fix or replace more than 1,000 culverts blocking access to 1,600 miles of salmon habitat, including a deadline of 2030 for the high-priority barriers.
The state legislature has a challenging task in front of them of ensuring compliance with the court's order. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) estimates that the cost to implement the court's full injunction is estimated at $3.7 billion, while fixing the amount of culverts necessary to get to the 90 percent habitat gain by 2030 is estimated at $2.4 billion. As of the most recent state transportation budget, there is $736 million dedicated to correcting the culverts through the 2029-31 biennium, leaving an estimated funding gap of $1.664 billion needed to comply with the injunction's 2030 deadline.
Besides the fiscal implications, the decision is likely to impact a wide range of regulatory and permitting issues in the state. Although the Culvert Case applies solely to specific habitat-blocking culverts owned by Washington state, it could have broad implications for other government and private entities that own, manage or control structures, including dams, which tribes have argued block or diminish salmon runs. Cities and counties also own a similar number of culverts in the state and could be at risk for similar claims from tribes.

Customer Experience with Columnstore on ERP
- This blog has been re-published at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Running-SAP-Applications-on-the/Customer-Experience-with-Columnstore-on-ERP/ba-p/368118
- This blog post might be outdated by now. The latest documentation regarding SQL Server Columnstore on SAP is available in https://www.sap.com/documents/2019/04/023e5928-487d-0010-87a3-c30de2ffd8ff.html
SAP released the report MSS_CS_CREATE a few months ago. Using this report, customers can create an additional Nonclustered Columnstore Index (NCCI) on any SAP ERP table. This has already been described here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/saponsqlserver/2017/04/13/using-columnstore-on-erp-tables.
In the meanwhile, several customers tested this feature. They reported performance improvements for reporting scenarios using huge aggregations (see below). Other customers had feature requests for the report MSS_CS_CREATE. A new version of this report is now available in SAP Note 2419662 - Implementing Columnstore Indexes for ERP tables. You have to re-apply the correction instructions of this SAP Note to get the code update.
Performance Improvements in SAP CO-PA
One of our customers is using the NCCI for SAP CO-PA. A huge performance improvement has been achieved simply by increasing SQL Server intra-query parallelism. For additional information regarding parallelism in SAP, see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/saponsqlserver/2017/05/18/parallel-processing-in-sap. You might increase the SQL Server configuration option "max degree of parallelism", but this has an impact on all SAP queries (not only on CO-PA). Therefore, the customer decided using a SQL Server optimizer hint in the ABAP code. Just using this hint resulted in a performance improvement of factor 10. Adding an NCCI on the largest CE1, CE2, and CE4 tables further improved the performance to an overall acceleration of factor 77 (from 771 to 10 seconds).
Using ABAP Optimizer Hints for forcing an index
Having rowstore and columnstore indexes at the same time on the same table can become a challenge for the SQL Server Query optimizer. Therefore, you might have to add an ABAP optimizer hint. For example, to enforce the ABAP index IN1 (name of the index in SAP DDIC) on table ERPTEST, you have to add the following hint:
%_HINTS MSSQLNT 'TABLE ERPTEST abindex(IN1)'.
Take care that the table name and index name are in UPPER case. If the SELECT consists of a single table (no JOIN involved), then there is no need to explicitly use the table name. In this case, you can use &TABLE& instead:
%_HINTS MSSQLNT 'TABLE &TABLE& abindex(IN1)'.
You can use several optimizer hints within a single SELECT, for example:
SELECT MAX( msgnr ) sprsl
FROM t100 INTO l_t_result
GROUP BY sprsl
%_HINTS MSSQLNT 'OPTION maxdop 8'
MSSQLNT 'OPTION hash group'.
You can also combine optimizer hints in a single line:
%_HINTS MSSQLNT 'OPTION maxdop 8 OPTION hash group'.
When using an optimizer hint for SQL Server intra-query parallelism, you should not hard code the degree of parallelism. Instead, you can use a variable. (The same is done in SAP BW with the RSADMIN parameter MSS_MAXDOP_QUERY). The ABAP code could look like this:
Used Optimizer Hints in SAP CO-PA
Our customer added a few SQL Server optimizer hints in the ABAP code of the CO-PA templates. It is a good idea to add optimizer hints using an ABAP variable. When setting this variable in an external form routine (e.g. GET_SQL_HINT), then you can change the hints without having to change the CO-PA code again:
Dependent on the input parameter (name of the CO-PA form routine), GET_SQL_HINT calculates the required optimizer hint and fills the ABAP variable SQL_HINT. Even if the report Z_COPA_SQL_HINTS (which contains GET_SQL_HINT) does not exist, you do not get an error. In this case, the variable SQL_HINT is empty and no optimizer hint is added.
For the SELECTs with aggregation on the CE1, CE2, and CE4 tables, a MAXDOP and a HASH GROUP hint have been added.
Therefore, several form routines in the template include RKEVRK2B_READ_COST were changed: The call of GET_SQL_HINT and the hint %_HINTS MSSQLNT SQL_HINT has been added. Hereby, the variable SQL_HINT is set to 'OPTION maxdop 16 OPTION hash group'. The following example shows the form routine OPEN_CURSOR_NO_HOLD_CE1 from the template include RKEVRK2B_READ_COST:
For the SELECTs without aggregation on the CE1, CE2, and CE4 tables, a different hint has been added.
It turned out, that there are some SELECTs without aggregation, where the existing rowstore index would be a much better choice than the columnstore index. However, caused by the re-usage of SQL Server execution plans for different selective parameters, the columnstore index was sometimes used. This resulted in a high CPU load and suboptimal performance. You could force the required index using an optimizer index hint as described above. However, our customer decided to use a different optimizer hint, which solved the issue: OPTIMIZE FOR UNKNOWN
Therefore, several form routines in the template include RKEVRK2A_POST have been changed: The call of GET_SQL_HINT and the hint %_HINTS MSSQLNT SQL_HINT has been added. Hereby, the variable SQL_HINT is set to 'OPTION optimize for unknown'. The following example shows the form routine READ_ALL_PAOBJNRS_BY_CHARVALS from the template include RKEVRK2A_POST:
Keep in mind that changing the templates above has no impact until the ABAP code is regenerated using the new templates. Therefore, the operating concerns must be regenerated using SAP transaction KEA0.
Improvements in SQL Server 2017
SQL Server 2017 allows the online creation of an NCCI. In SQL Server 2016, it was only possible to create an NCCI offline. Therefore, a shared lock was held during the whole runtime of the index creation. This blocked all data modifications (INSERTs, UPDATEs, DELETEs) while the NCCI was created. As of SQL Server 2017, you can now choose in report MSS_CS_CREATE, whether you want to use the online option or not. Keep in mind, that creating an index online takes longer and consumes tempdb space. In return, you do not block any other SAP users while creating the index.
Improvements in SAP report MSS_CS_CREATE
The NCCI cannot be transported using the SAP transport landscape. Therefore, you have to create the NCCI on the development-, consolidation-, and productive-system separately. This works fine with report MSS_CS_CREATE even on a productive system, which is configured in SAP as Not Modifiable. However, you cannot delete an NCCI using SAP transaction SE11 on a Not Modifiable SAP system. Therefore, report MSS_CS_CREATE has now a Delete Index button (Del Indx):
The second improvement in MSS_CS_CREATE is the Online option. It is greyed out in the screenshot above, because this SAP system is running on SQL Server 2016.
An NCCI can speed-up reporting performance on an SAP ERP system running on SQL Server 2016 or 2017. However, it is probably not useful for tables with a high transactional throughput (permanently many concurrent data modifications in the table). Based on the customer scenario, you can create an NCCI index on the tables of your choice.

The Finance Minister has given his biggest hint yet there'll be some relief for families in Thursday's Budget.
Steven Joyce was at a Petone printing company to see his first Budget going to print - a traditional pre-Budget photo opportunity.
He answered a barrage of nuanced questions from reporters about what Mr Joyce's first Budget would contain.
He said he'd already made a number of statements about what the Government's priorities are, but "if we get room, the opportunity to get something around family incomes".
The Government has previously set a cap of $1.5b of new Budget spending for 2017/2018.
Asked whether he thought there were families which weren't getting the income increases they need, Mr Joyce replied: "I think there's all sorts of people who have pressures in their lives".
"I don't want to get into discussions about individual groups in society for obvious reasons that we're going to have that discussion on Thursday."
He wouldn't comment specifically on whether there'd be anything in the Budget for families, including changes to tax thresholds, Working for Families, or the accommodation supplement.
"I wouldn't take anything from the comments I refuse to make on those comments."
He said the Budget wouldn't be a special election year "lolly scramble", but rather continue on a similar track as National's previous ones.
"In terms of lolly scramble, I've seen so many people requesting so much over the last few days I feel I'll have to deliver five or six budgets on Thursday to meet all the expectations," he said.
"We've always taken the approach to set a long-term track, and each budget, whether it's election year or any other year, delivers on that path we're heading down and that's what we're intending to do."

|CAS Number: 57-62-5
|Synonyms: 7-chlorotetracycline, Aureomycin, CLTC, CTC, Chlorotetracyline, Chlortetracyclin
|Contaminant Type: Chemical
Chlortetracycline, a member of tetracycline family, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is commonly given to poultry, swine, and livestock. Chlortetracycline may lead to the development of antibiotic resistance [1327]; other potential adverse effects are unknown.
Chlortetracycline can be used to prevent, control, and treat animal health problems as well as enhance growth rates in chickens, turkeys, ducks, swine, calves, beef cattle, and other animals [1326]. It has been in clinical use in 1948. [1348]
Chlortetracycline enters the environment primarily through the application of animal manure to fields. [1529] Chlortetracycline appears to be retained in the top soil layers after land application. [1350] The compound may also dissolve or associate with particles in surface runoff. The solubility of chlortetracycline is approximately 500 mg/L; values of soil/water partitioning depend on the type of soil and on the type of antibiotic formulation. [1326]
Chlortetracycline has been shown to be relatively persistent in soil. [1529] Primary attenuation mechanisms include hydrolysis, biodegradation and photolysis in sunlight-exposed soils. [1529, 1325] One study of chlortetracycline degradation from chicken feces over a 30-day period showed temperature dependence, with no significant degradation at 4 °C, 12% of the original concentration (5.6 mg/kg) degradation at 20 °C and 56% degradation at 30 °C. [1349]
The stability of chlortetracycline in water depends on pH, temperature, light, and other parameters. [1530] In a study of soil interstitial water and milliQ water, light appeared to generally accelerate chlortetracycline degradation, as did increasing the pH (from 3.0 to 9.0) and the temperature (from 6 °C to 20 °C). [1530] Half-lives of chlortetracycline at 20 °C and pH 8.5 were less than 10 days. [1530]
Chlortetracycline is not currently regulated in drinking water by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. [1351] Toxicity information for chlortetracycline is limited, and whether it is carcinogenic or endocrine disruptive is unknown. [980]
Chlortetracycline is often analyzed by liquid chromatography (LC) combined with mass spectrometry (MS), such as LC/MS, LC-MS/MS, LC/ESI (electospray ionisation)-MS. [1527,1327, 1530, 1352]
Chlortetracycline is not often detected in water sources, perhaps due to its absorption to soil or bounding with other chemicals. [1354] Several studies focusing on the occurrence of antibiotics did not detect chlortetracycline in treated wastewater, surface water, and groundwater in the U.S., Canada, and Germany. [1352, 1353 and 1354] However, one study detected chlortetracycline in 2.4% of 84 samples from streams in the U.S. using a LC/MS-ESI method developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (the method report limit was 0.10 µg/L). [1355] However, chlortetracycline was not detected using another LC/MS-ESI method in the same study (the method report limit was 0.05 µg/L). [1355] One study showed chlortetracycline detections in top soil (0 to 30 cm below ground surface) ranging from 4.6 – 7.3 µg/kg with no detections in soil layers below 30 cm. [1350]

Posted: Jan 18, 2005 – 11:00 PM EST
Jan. 18 /CSRwire/ -
To a surprising extent, say nutrition experts, hunger often leads to obesity. Families unable to afford nutritious food often end up developing unhealthy eating habits, setting the stage for obesity and a variety of other health problems. The UPS Foundation, which for 15 years has pursued a major initiative to alleviate hunger in America, today announced it was broadening that effort to address nutrition and obesity issues.
The UPS Foundation's new initiative, "The National Collaboration to Reduce Hunger and Improve Nutrition," has been launched with the award of $2 million in grants to eight different organizations.
The organizations are based across the country from California and Ohio to Illinois, Virginia and Washington, D.C., and already are involved in various aspects of the fights against hunger and obesity. The Society of Saint Andrew in Big Island, Va., for example, is working to expand distribution of otherwise wasted fresh produce from local farms to local food banks. The Children's Hunger Alliance in Columbus, Ohio, is expanding access to and improving the quality of school meals.
"Millions of Americans look hunger in the face every day. They feel the consequences of poor nutrition and in many cases suffer from the effects of obesity," said Evern Cooper Epps, president of The UPS Foundation. "The connection between inadequate financial resources and poor nutrition is clear and compelling. We want to be instrumental in the fight against hunger by providing those individuals at risk with access to nutritious foods as well as information and resources."
Government reports show 36.3 million Americans - 13.3 million of whom are children - went hungry last year. Not surprisingly, there was a double-digit increase in requests for emergency food assistance even as medical evidence continues to mount showing America's children are facing serious health threats because of widespread obesity and inactivity.
"Obesity and hunger are major public health concerns facing our nation today," said Edward Cooney, executive director of the bipartisan Congressional Hunger Center in Washington, D.C., and a former Agriculture Department nutrition program director. "The announcement that The UPS Foundation is launching a new funding initiative to fight hunger centered on improving nutrition and decreasing obesity is of critical importance to the nation's nutritionally vulnerable children and adults."
In addition to the $2 million in new grants, The UPS Foundation since 1989 has supported food banks and local feeding programs through its Prepared and Perishable Food Rescue Initiative. UPS has helped local organizations by providing more than $10 million to help recover and distribute more than 300 million pounds of food to feed hungry Americans. UPS has not only contributed financially to the initiative, but also has provided technical, logistical and managerial expertise.
Founded in 1951 and based in Atlanta, Ga., The UPS Foundation identifies specific areas where its support will clearly impact social issues. The Foundation's major initiatives currently include programs that support increased nationwide volunteerism, family and workplace literacy and hunger relief. In 2003, The UPS Foundation donated more than US$39.8 million to charitable organizations worldwide. Visit community.ups.com for more information about UPS's community involvement.
UPS is the world's largest package delivery company and a global leader in supply chain services, offering an extensive range of options for synchronizing the movement of goods, information and funds. Headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., UPS serves more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. UPS's stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (UPS), and the company can be found on the Web at UPS.com.

Picture captured on the Cliffs of Moher, Ireland, August 15th, 2016 – iPhone 5C HDR settings.
This is an excerpt from a longer poem I wrote yesterday.
PS: For those of you who are wondering why I was absent for so long. I am a teacher so I had to prepare and go back to school. After that life struck me, through the medium of a car. It hit me, I flew a few feet away and landed on the ground. Almost unscathed. Just bruises and scratches, and achy muscles. I still had to go through a series of exams, to make sure I did not have any internal injuries. I had to stay at the hospital, until I was released last Wednesday.

Misty Forest is the first stage in Team Shockwave's story in Sonic Shockwave Riders.
Atticus and Lavinia have reached their destination but they are unable to enter Eggman's Metropolis as they are blocked by his robots. They are soon pursued where they escape inside a misty forest.
OverviewThe race takes place in a forest full of mist and webs. Most of the race takes place on giant vines, leafs, trunks and webs. The race begins on a large tree and the player makes a jump inside a deep web. There are several grinding rails there and then the player rides on a series of vines. The stags is rather easy to pull off. It does not have many loops nor corners. Near the end of the stage the player rides on a tall branch with now view at all as the place is filled with mist. You can see spiders in the background.
In the race there are 12 racers: Atticus, Lavinia, SR-4X, SR-4X, SR-4X, SR-4X, SR-4X, SR-4X, SR-4X, SR-4X, SR-4X, SR-4X. The mission of the player is to finish in 1st or 2nd place under 2:10 minutes.

Oral Hygiene: While at our office, we make sure that you receive the highest level of service and ensure that our dental work is of the highest quality. To ensure that you maintain great oral health, this level of quality needs to extend into your personal oral hygiene routine. We can help you establish a dental hygiene routine that will keep your teeth healthy and white. If you have any questions about your current hygiene plan please ask us.
Your teeth are not the only important part of your mouth. Your gums are essential to oral hygiene as well. We can provide periodontal cleanings and treatment, or refer you to one of our recommended specialists. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Dental bridges are a great way to replace missing teeth. Your existing teeth are used to literally create a bridge to cross the area where your tooth is missing. Bridges are made from gold, metal, alloys, or porcelain to ensure that they are strong and durable.
If you are missing a tooth you should strongly consider having it replaced. Besides the aesthetic disadvantage of missing a tooth, it could also cause structural changes to your mouth and jaw, as well as making it difficult to eat or speak properly. Set up an appointment today to restore your smile.
Dentures are a replacement for missing teeth that can be removed and put back into your mouth as you please. Depending on each individual patient case, they may receive full or partial dentures. Full dentures are used when all of the natural teeth are removed from the mouth and replaced with a full set of dentures. There are two types of full dentures.
Partial dentures are another option when not all of your teeth need to be removed. This is similar to a bridge, but it is not a permanent fixture in your mouth.
Your dentures may take some time to get used to. The flesh colored base of the dentures is placed over your gums. Some people say that it feels bulky or that they don't have enough room for their tongue. Other times the dentures might feel loose. These feelings will affect the way you eat and talk for a little while. Over time, your mouth becomes trained to eat and speak with your dentures and they begin to feel more and more like your natural teeth. They may never feel perfectly comfortable, but it is much better than the alternative of not having teeth.
Extractions are removal of a teeth from their socket in the bone.
There are many different reasons for teeth needing to be extracted. The most common reason for extracting a tooth is due to decay or fracture. The dentist will try to repair or restore the tooth with either a filling or crown; however, if the damage is too extensive the tooth may need to be extracted. Other reasons for extractions include: orthodontic treatment, having extra teeth and needing room for teeth coming in, certain diseases or illnesses, trauma, and wisdom teeth.
To keep you comfortable your doctor will give you local anesthetic in the extraction area. For extra comfort he may use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral sedation. In more difficult cases or for extremely anxious patients, he may need to refer you to the oral surgeon who has the ability to extract the teeth under general anethesia (putting you to sleep) or IV sedation.
In most cases Dr. Koehl and Dr. Hall can remove the teeth, including 3rd molars (wisdom teeth), in office.
Endodontics is the dental specialty that deals with the nerves of the teeth. Root canals are probably the most notorious procedure in dentistry and the most common procedure relating to endodontics. When a tooth becomes infected it is usually related to the nerves in the root of the tooth. The infected nerves need to be removed. If left untreated an infection can turn into an abscess, which is a much more serious problem that includes bone loss in the jaw. "Root canal" has become a scary term for dental patients to hear, but the benefits of the procedure and advances in dental technology have made it much less "scary". Local anesthetics and proper pain medication allow the procedure to be performed with little to no pain in most cases.
Call us today today to learn more about how we can help restore your smile!

I'll assume that each component in the speaker is running in parallel to the other. If that is right, then (to keep things simple) can I say that each component has a resistance of 16 ohms so that when I run the components in parallel I have a speaker that presents an 8 ohm load?No, the low and high frequency sections of the speaker are not in parallel, due to the presence of the crossover network in the speaker.
If all of this is right, then by bi-amping, I've effectively made it so that each channel of my amp is driving a 16 ohm load. Again, if this is true, then I've taken my 80 wpc amp and turned it into something around a 50 or 60 wpc amp, due to the greater load.
The amplifier section that is driving the speaker's woofer will NOMINALLY see an 8 ohm load for the very low frequency components of the signal, and a very high impedance for the very high frequency components of the signal. Therefore that amplifier section will have to supply little or no current and power at very high frequencies.
At frequencies in the crossover region, which for the 685 is specified as being centered at 4 kHz but is probably fairly broad, the impedance seen by that amplifier section will gradually transition between the nominal 8 ohm value and being very high.
The opposite situation will exist for the amplifier section driving the tweeter, i.e., it will have to supply little or no current and power at low frequencies, and it will see a nominally 8 ohm load at high frequencies, supplying whatever amount of current and power the signal calls for at high frequencies.
The actual values of the 8 ohm nominal loads will vary depending on how the speaker's impedance varies as a function of frequency. I note that the impedance of the 685 is specified as 8 ohms nominal, 3.7 ohms minimum. I would suspect that the 3.7 ohms occurs at frequencies that are handled by the woofer, which are also the frequencies that almost always require the most power.
I don't know why you might be finding that you have to turn the volume control to higher settings in the biamp configuration, unless the gain of the amplifier somehow changes when it is set up for four channel operation.
