One of the most important areas within this is that of health and safety (H&S), with many FMs stating that the task of completing risk assessments is one of their main activities and essential to maintain the correct standards for their own team members, their service providers and, of course, all those who use the facility in question.
In order to provide more food for thought on the creation of effective H&S policies, we asked industry experts to provide their comments on the level of engagement required with facilities users.
One of the first to respond was Anabas H&S manager Mick Stephenson, who states that writing and establishing a H&S policy does not need to become an onerous undertaking and engagement with facility users should be included as soon as possible in the process.
"Rather than an expectation of a single individual, who may have the relevant qualifications but not necessarily the in-depth knowledge of the practicalities, it should be considered a team task from the outset," he says.
"When considered the responsibility of a single individual who has not engaged with end users, it is not unusual to find that a policy written in this way will be considered a worthless piece of paper and demonstrates why collaboration at the earliest opportunity is so important.
"Any policy must be relevant, clear, understood and easily followed and acted upon by the users," says Mr Stephenson.
This means participation from users, during its development, will not only produce a more suitable document, but will also promote stronger feelings of both ownership and acceptance from end users.
"In most cases the document will consist of three sections: a general policy statement which outlines the commitment to effective management of H&S; a responsibilities section which identifies who is responsible for specific actions; and an arrangements section which details the practical elements to achieve the aims within the general policy statement," he continues.
"These sections simply detail what we are going to do, who is going to do it and how we are going to do it. This is why early collaboration with facilities users can help in a number ways including identifying workplace risks, ensuring controls are practical, increasing commitment to working in a safe and healthy way and providing feedback on the effectiveness of health and safety arrangements and control measures," Mr Stephenson concludes.
Further thoughts are provided by Julius Rutherfoord operations director Caroline Hutchins, who says all organisations must be committed to safeguarding people and property affected by their operations, including employees, tenants, contractors and visitors.
It is vital that new or revised health and safety policies are brought to the attention of employees and any other users of the premises.
"When it comes to working with external contactors, FMs should opt for companies that can demonstrate that they have the most up-to-date, innovative approach to protecting people and buildings. The provider should not only champion H&S, but also have progressive attitudes to security, including thorough recruitment procedures and on-site systems such as biometric identification of its teams.
"Our 'secure commercial cleaning' company strapline gives precedence to how our staff, systems and technology support FMs to ensure people and premises are in safe hands," she continues.
"All our staff receive thorough, ongoing training in H&S, security procedures, cleaning skills and the needs of a particular site and client."
Solid processes that are embedded in training mean staff know what to do in every conceivable situation. Training should be carried out on-site on an ongoing basis, to ensure operatives are up to date on everything from new legislation to the latest methods and equipment.
"Operatives should also be empowered to spot and report potential hazards – the FM may not be aware there is an issue and will welcome proactivity in helping to reduce accidents," says Ms Hutchins.
Advising on the safe cleaning of ductwork, Swiftclean managing director Gary Nicholls agrees with early engagement with facilities users, particularly in the retail environment but also for any commercial building undergoing refurbishment.
"The facilities user and their designer or shopfitter may not be aware that ventilation ductwork travels through their premises and access to it must be preserved. This is to maintain compliance with TR/19, the guidance document issued by BESA, and also with BS:9999 2017 for testing and maintenance of fire dampers."
While FMs will be aware of these requirements, other professionals using the facilities may not, he continues, leading to instances of new solid ceilings installed to make premises more appealing visually, but which block access to the ventilation access points.
"It is quite usual for the cleaning of ductwork to require access through several other areas, often retail spaces, offices and residential units. If it cannot be accessed, this means that a potential fire risk can be present, posing a threat to all these different premises."
Similarly, fire dampers must be regularly tested and maintained and that also requires unhindered access to minimise fire risks.
"It would be ideal if FMs could have significant input with the architect from the design stage of a property, right through to an effective and early dialogue with all its eventual users. If everyone understood the importance of ongoing compliance, it would make the FM's life easier and the building much safer for all its end users," says Mr Nicholls.
The application of specialist knowledge, experience and trusted management systems can bring added value to a contract, says Calbarrie Compliance Services commercial director Tim Beardsmore.
"Outsourcing FM services to a specialist provider can enable an employer to share risk and responsibility in areas of compliance," he says.
"When establishing health and safety policies it is beneficial that FMs engage with facilities users at the very start of the process to agree the priorities."
During a site survey the FM and facilities user can identify the health and safety risks together and agree on the control measures necessary to manage on site health and safety. The survey should take place before work can start and the risk assessment included in the scope of works.
Details of the safety procedures, site induction and any specialist training and equipment required and arrangements for site access and welfare facilities for operatives should also be established jointly and incorporated in the scope of works. The health and safety regulations relevant to the project should be documented in the method statement.
"This close involvement of FM and client representative at the pre-start stages is crucial to avoid risk of confusion and misinterpretation of the contract regulatory and performance standards at a later date," he continues.
"Sustainable long-term contracts are based on partnership, and FMs can differentiate themselves through their willingness to understand the challenges that facilities users face. Ongoing monitoring and review of health and safety performance against policies and agreed targets enables continuous improvement and enhanced standards of health and safety to be achieved," says Mr Beardsmore.
HS RoofClad says falls from height account for 22% of fatal accidents in the construction industry alone, so whether completing long-term roof works or short-term building maintenance tasks, it is imperative that hazards are identified, control measures put into place and solutions explored where necessary.
Before work commences it is imperative to ensure that either a collective or personal measure of protection is in place that has been tested and maintained to manufacturer guidelines before entering any roof space. Safe methods of work should be in place that have been effectively planned by a competent and experienced contractor.
It is also necessary to specify and communicate fragile surface areas to operatives, include relevant signage at the entrance of work areas and highlight fragile surface areas wherever replacement work is required.
Following commencement of work, safe methods of work should be adhered to throughout the projects, with unannounced site inspections also recommended.
The company further states that its building envelope specialists recommend referring to the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE) hierarchy of control, which recommends that, where possible, work at height should be avoided.

Grab Swiss chard while still available at the market—this dark leafy green begins to wane (when locally grown) in the winter months. During harvest time, Swiss chard's verdant leaves and crispy stems offer a delightfully refreshing alternative to lettuce-based salads when paired with juicy tomatoes, now also on their last legs.
Store Swiss chard in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator for up to 1 week. Store ripe tomatoes at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Instead of bread croutons, use cooked chickpeas or quinoa for equal heartiness, texture, and flavour.
2 Tbsp (30 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch Swiss chard, stems chopped, leaves sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 – 1 in (2.5 cm) thick slices sourdough bread or gluten-free bread (day old is best), cut into large cubes
4 tomatoes, finely chopped
1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) sea salt
1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) chili flakes
2 Tbsp (30 mL) apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup (60 mL) sliced fresh basil
4 large organic eggs, poached
In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté chard stems and garlic for 3 minutes, until fragrant. Add bread and toast for 1 to 2 minutes, until beginning to brown. Stir in chard leaves, tomatoes, salt, and chili flakes. Cook until chard is wilted and tomatoes are giving off juice, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in vinegar and basil. Serve salad warm with a poached egg on top.

Ever wonder what the most successful inns have in common?
A strong focus on guest satisfaction. What are your guests saying about you? Since guests are our #1 priority, place great importance on pleasing them. Be available to give local recommendations (for a variety of interests) as well as directions. Offer concierge services and extras like evening wine and dessert for two. During their stay, ask them if there is anything you can do to make their stay with you more pleasant. For example, if you find out that someone is celebrating something special, consider offering something complimentary. They will remember that you went the extra mile and will be likely to return again as well as recommend your inn to others.
A great website with awesome pictures. When was the last time you touched up your website and your photos? Make it easy for them to do business with you. Your website should be easy for others to find online. Feature current professional photography of each place (inside and outside) guests may spend time in. Give them the option to check availability online and book a room. Your website should clearly specify your address (ideally your webmaster can insert a Google map), list phone numbers, and always include all your social media icons. This allows guests to connect with you on social media if they haven't already.
A distinct niche or focus. What are you known for? The most successful inns set their inns apart to specific audiences so they attract more guests. The audience could be specific groups of people: adults only, family friendly, LGBT friendly, pet-friendly, special diet friendly, etc. It could be specific interests: photography, culinary-minded, adventurous (such as skiing and zip-lining), and history buffs. It could be for different types of retreats: corporate, yoga, writers, quilters, etc. It could be for your packages: restaurant, performing arts, sports, local attractions like amusement parks and museums, etc.
A delicious breakfast. Are guests happy with your menu? With breakfast representing the second letter B (in B&B), the most successful inns offer something special. This could be your commitment to catering to special diets, a complimentary wine & cheese hour, or 24/7 access to goodies and treats. Perhaps your inn has a restaurant or tea room. Maybe you offer in-room breakfast delivery for an extra fee. Be sure to have a page on your website devoted to discussing your inn's culinary offerings. Share pictures of your food in social media. Mouths will water!
A connection to local businesses. Do you promote your local area? Could you arrange for your guests to receive a discount from local restaurants, attractions, and other venues? This would give guests a reason to visit those businesses (that would be why the businesses offer the discount) as well as make you look good for having arranged for them to receive the better rate.
A consistent presence. How often are you blogging and posting on social media? By regularly blogging and posting on social media, this builds awareness for your place of hospitality and what you offer. Blog posts provide fresh new content which attracts visitors to your page. For example, consider writing blog posts about: local attractions, your amenities, your packages, a behind-the-scenes blog post, and so on.
A variety of incentives. Do you offer specials? This could be discounts for multiple night stays, weekday stays, etc. Do you offer packages? You could plan all the details for your guests so it is less work for them. Do you offer referral discounts? Do you reward your guests who refer other guests who stay at your inn in some way? This could be a free upgrade in room, a free massage, a discount in their room rate, etc.
A superb selection of amenities. What amenities do guests love using at your inn? Most guests (especially the millennial generation) expect access to free wireless internet. Be sure to feature the extra luxuries you offer in photos on your website and in pictures you share on social media. This includes fireplaces, spas, libraries, and more.
A follow up. Do you send a follow-up email to thank them for staying and a survey to get their feedback? Is there a way for people to opt into receiving regular e-mail newsletters? By sending regular emails, you remind previous guests of their experience as well as attract new potential guests to stay at your inn. The most successful inns follow up with guests.
A solid reputation. What is your reputation? Favorable online guest reviews offer proof to future guests that they can expect to also have a positive experience. Strong testimonials (always ask for permission and include only their first name and the first letter of their last name as well as their location) can be included on your website and shared in social media.

Two events this weekPosted: November 23, 2009 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Dundrum Library, Pirate Radio, Radio Caroline, Seven Towers, Writing Leave a comment
I'm taking part in two readings this week, one of which is very special for me.
On Wednesday 25th November Seven Towers will be holding their usual "Last Wednesday" open-mic at Cassidys of Westmoreland Street, with poets and authors including Oran Ryan, Ross Hathaway, Eamon Lynsky and Bob Shakeshaft.
I'll be reading a newly-written short story, my first real piece of fiction.
Doors open 7pm, admission free.
On Thursday 26th I will be going back to my roots, with a special reading at Dundrum Public Library, at 6.30pm. I'll be reading excerpts from SHIPROCKED – Life On The Waves With Radio Caroline.
Dundrum Library is where, at the age of 5, I was taken by my mother for my first introduction to the world of books, over the years I borrowed hundreds of titles there as I was growing up, so to return as a published author is a special treat for me.
Again, admission free, and signed copies of the book will be available.
August Bank Holiday weekend (1st-3rd)Posted: July 31, 2009 Filed under: Events | Tags: Dublin, Events, Ireland, Phantom 105.2, Poetry, Readings, Seven Towers Leave a comment

This weekend I am filling two slots – 8am to 11am on Saturday 1st August, and 1-5pm on the (Irish) Bank Holiday Monday 3rd August. You can listen locally in the Dublin region on 105.2fm, nationally via UPC cable ch.935, and worldwide at www.phantom.ie
On Sunday 2nd August I will be taking time out to MC a themed open-mic event for Seven Towers – "Both Sides Of The Pond" – featuring American, Canadian and Irish poets. It's at 2pm, Cassidys of Westmoreland Street, free admission, all welcome.
Readers include Californian poet Lynne Knight, Dublin writer Oran Ryan, New Zealand born Dublin writer, Ross Hattaway, Canadian writer and model Roslyn Fuller, Dublin poet Eamonn Lynskey, Dublin poet Catherine Ann Cullen. Other names will be added to the list as they are confirmed
Broadcast & Publicity schedulePosted: June 21, 2009 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Phantom 105.2, Publishing, Seven Towers, Shiprocked! 1 Comment
Publicity and promo work on Shiprocked has continued to occupy me recently with readings and signings in Galway and Dublin. The Galway event, as part of the Volvo Ocean Race celebration, was a particular success, with a large crowd attending the reading at Galway Museum, many of whom were from the yachting and maritime world – they particularly enjoyed hearing the grounding and rescue sequences!
A large number of other readings and events are being planned for later in the summer, through to November, when I will be doing a reading tour in the UK. In addition to this, I have also started work on my second book, which is also non-fiction, and is aimed for publication in the second half of 2010. I'm keeping the topic under wraps for now but will update here as the writing progresses over the months ahead.
With this workload, and my frequent need to be travelling around the country, I've had to scale back on my broadcast duties with Phantom 105.2, for the time being. The station management have been remarkably uderstanding about my frequent absences due to writing and promotional commitments, and have given me every help with my various outside projects, but I can't ask them to do this forever.
Phantom stalwart Sinister Pete takes over the Sunday evening request show Random Access, and the Saturday hours are filled by an extended Phantom Anthems.
Broadcasting is still a passion for me, and I will still be heard on Phantom from time to time, filling in for regular presenters if I am in Dublin at the time.
Life has changed in many exciting ways for me over the past 18 months since I signed up with the Seven Towers Agency, and I have a feeling that in the next year it is going to get more exciting still.

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) was an Irish writer and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he is remembered for his epigrams, plays and the circumstances of his imprisonment, followed by his early death.
Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.
Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.
Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
Walter "Walt" Whitman (May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist and journalist. A humanist , he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse. His work was very controversial in its time, particularly his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sexuality.
To me, every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.

Tinashe is no longer signed with RCA Records and is going the indie route, her manager, Mike Nazzaro, confirms.
Tinashe, who publicly announced her RCA signing in a YouTube video in 2012, released two studio albums under RCA, Aquarius in 2014, which included her breakout single "2 On" and Joyride, as well as her Nightride mixtape. Tinashe has been vocal about the fact that she has had to deal with several occasions of creative differences during her time at RCA, even saying in an interview with Lena Dunham that her A&R once pushed her to record a song despite her protests:
"I couldn't, as an artist, get behind the lyrics."
Speaking on her departure from RCA, Nazzaro says that contrary to reports circulating on the internet "she wasn't dropped."
"We initiated for her to be released. It was a positive split for her. It's giving her back creative control."
He says the exit "took a while" to figure out, "but has been final for "a month or so."
"She's excited for this next step in her career," he continues. "We're trying to decide now, if we want new partners, who the next ones will be."

Morning all, I've been up since five & I am determined to get this post written & published in the next twenty minutes. It has been a hectic week, I am still way behind on my Christmas projects & I haven't posted anything on my own crafting blog in THREE weeks!!
I don't have anything new to show you, but I wanted to share these easel cards that I made using two of the Hobby House Christmas toppers. Like the fairies & the elves, these images are very sweet & so detailed that you can make a simple, but very effective, card quite quickly.
The toppers are die cut already, so I just matted & layered them onto red & green core'dinations & gold mirri card.
It's not showing in the photo, but I added a subtle shimmer to the highlights in her hair with a glitter pen, it looks lovely when light hits it.
When I'd put everything together, something seemed to be missing & I couldn't decide what it was for ages. Then I had the idea of doodling around the edge & surprisingly, it worked.
Who could resist that cute face???
This needed some sort of decoration, so I die cut a circle from core'dinations & attached the buttons to it with silicon glue. The buttons were originally white, I coloured them Spectrum Noir alcohol-based colouring pens & gave them a quick blast with my heat tool - that's today's handy hint for you. :)
Okay, that's it for now, I have so much to do today. Don't forget the blog challenge!!! We've had some more entries, so have a look at them & then enter your projects, there's still plenty of time.
Thanks for visiting today, until next time; take care & happy crafting.

LPR intelligence has found out the location of the NATO division in the occupied Stanichno-Luhansky area. This was announced today at a briefing by the People's Militia Colonel Mikhail Filiponenko.
"We have established that near the village of Alexandrovka Stanichno-Lugansk district in the forest is a base on which a well-equipped and technically equipped NATO unit is deployed," he said.
"Western instructors are training VSU soldiers in the real situation, using the positions of the Nazi battalions and their troops as targets of the enemy. At the same time, such raids and ambushes are used to accuse the People's Militia of violating the "grain ceasefire," the representative of the Defense Ministry said.
"The intensity with which foreign experts visit military facilities indicates that Western countries actively use Ukraine as a testing ground for promising methods of conducting military operations and testing new models of weapons and military equipment," he stressed.
The Colonel also said that "about a platoon of foreign militants" from the Baltic countries and Eastern Europe is stationed in the Svetlodarsk area.

Acute Liver Failure - Standard Treatment Guidelines
Acute Liver Failure (ALF) is defined as acute hepatitis (elevation in AST/ALT) accompanied by elevation in INR >1.5 and any degree of mental alteration (encephalopathy) within 12 weeks of onset of symptoms, in the absence of chronic liver disease. Its presentation is rapid, dramatic and frequently leads to death over the course of a few days in the absence of emergency liver transplantation.
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has come out with the Standard Treatment Guidelines for Acute Liver Failure. Following are its major recommendations for Acute respiratory distress syndrome.
The exact incidence of ALF in the Indian subcontinent is not known. However, viral hepatitis leading to acute liver failure is the commonest cause in our country. In western countries, the commonest cause of ALF is paracetamol poisoning and it is a relatively uncommon disease (e.g., it affects about 2500 patients in the United States each year). Since there is a high load of hepatotropic viruses in India, the incidence of ALF may probably be higher.
ALF carries a high mortality rate with 15-20% survival without orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). In developed countries, liver transplantation has revolutionized the prognosis of this disease and survival rates are in the range of 59 to 79%, with liver transplantation. Moreover, it accounts for about 5-11 % of liver transplants among adults.
Hepatitis A, paracetamol overdose and ischemic insults typically present as hyper acute liver failure, and have a relatively good spontaneous survival rate of 36%, whereas idiosyncratic drug reactions and indeterminate causes present later, with only a 14% survival rate without OLT. The other etiologies with very poor prognosis include acute hepatitis B (and other non-hepatitis A viral infections), autoimmune hepatitis, Wilson's disease and Budd-Chiari syndrome. Patients presenting in grade III/IV encephalopathy also have a very poor prognosis.
Differential diagnosis
Differential diagnosis includes severe malaria, leptospirosis, rickettsial diseases, enteric fever, and Hanta virus infection.
Clinical features
The initial clinical features of ALF may be non-specific, and may include anorexia, fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice and fever before progressing to hepatic encephalopathy.
Hepatic encephalopathy is graded from I to IV based on clinical features and neurological signs.
Grades of Hepatic encephalopathy
|Changes in behaviour with minimal change in level of consciousness
|Gross disorientation, drowsiness, possibly asterixis, inappropriate behaviour
|Marked confusion, incoherent speech, sleeping most of the time but arousable to verbal stimuli
|Comatose, unresponsive to pain, decorticate or decerebrate posturing
This grading is clinically robust and increasing grades of hepatic encephalopathy have a strong negative correlation with outcome. The evolution to grade III/IV HE is a grave prognostic sign as this group is at risk of intracranial hypertension, and subsequent brain herniation.
Clinical signs suggestive of increasing intracranial pressure include worsening of hepatic encephalopathy, systemic hypertension and bradycardia (Cushing reflex), altered pupillary reflexes and decerebrate rigidity. All of these clinical signs occur late in the clinical course.
|Etiological category
|Specific causes
Human herpes virus 6, CMV, EBV, VZV, Parvovirus B19, Yellow fever
|Drug/toxin induced
(dose dependent)
|Paracetamol, Amanita phalloides, tetracyclines, Bacillus
cereus, carbon tetrachloride
|Drug/toxin induced
|Halothane, anti-tubercular therapy, co-amoxiclav, macrolides,
ofloxacin, phenytoin, valproate, statins, NSAIDs, disulfiram, metformin, dapsone, amiodarone, labetolol, methyl dopa, HAART, etoposide, ecstasy/amphetamines, cocaine, herbal remedies, etc
|Ischemic hepatitis, Budd Chiari syndrome, right heart failure, veno-occlusive disease
|Wilson's disease, acute fatty liver of pregnancy, HELLP
|Autoimmune hepatitis, malignant infiltration, sepsis, heat stroke
Criteria for hospital admission
All patients with clinical or laboratory evidence of moderate to severe acute hepatitis should have immediate measurement of prothrombin time and careful evaluation for subtle alterations in mentation. If the prothrombin time is prolonged by >4-6 seconds or more (INR>1.5) and there is any evidence of altered sensorium, the diagnosis of ALF is established and hospital admission is mandatory.
Criteria for ICU admission
Patient with any one of the following:
- Altered sensorium: Patients in grade I and perhaps, grade II encephalopathy, could be managed in a ward. However, rapidly worsening encephalopathy or grade III/IV encephalopathy warrants ICU admission.
- Respiratory distress, i.e., respiratory rate >30/m.
- Any evidence of gastrointestinal bleeding
- Any hemodynamic instability
Optimal diagnostic criteria, investigations, treatment and referral
A. Non metro/ Secondary hospital
2) Prothrombin time(PT)/INR
3) Chemistries: serum sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, calcium, magnesium, phosphate, glucose
4) Liver function test: AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, GGT, total bilirubin, albumin
5) Renal function test : serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen
6) Arterial blood gas (with arterial lactate, if possible)
7) Complete blood count
8) Blood type and screen
9) Viral hepatitis serologies: anti-HAV IgM, HBsAg, anti-HEV.
10) Ultrasound abdomen to look at the echotexture of the liver and rule out chronic liver disease/ Budd-Chiari syndrome.
11) Blood culture
12) Blood smear for malaria, serology for Dengue and Widal test in selected cases (based on clinical suspicion)
Laboratory monitoring
|Frequency to repeat tests
|Twice daily
|Blood glucose (bedside glucostix adequate)
|PT, serum sodium and potassium
Arterial blood gas
|Alternate day
|Blood count, serum creatinine
|Twice weekly
|Magnesium, phosphate
1) Nutrition: A carbohydrate rich diet with protein restriction (60 g/day) is recommended. If enteral feeds are not tolerated, dextrose infusion should be started. A record of intake and output should be maintained and a positive balance of no more than 500 ml is acceptable.
2) Bowel decontamination with lactulose and antibiotic for gut sterilization (ampicillin / metronidazole / rifaximin)
3) Intravenous ranitidine or proton pump inhibitors.
4) Rehydration is required in many patients as they may be dehydrated at admission due to vomiting and anorexia. Subsequently, maintain euvolemia.
5) Careful and repeated neurological examination for grade of encephalopathy and evidence of cerebral edema is mandatory.
6) Avoid sedation in grades 1 and 2 encephalopathy.
7) All patients in grade 3 or 4 hepatic encephalopathy should be intubated electively for airway protection. In addition, respiratory support and mechanical ventilation should be provided for those with inadequate respiratory effort.
8) Treatment for clinical evidence of cerebral edema includes:
- Elevation of head end of the bed to 15-30°
- Head in neutral position
- Limiting all nonessential physical examination
- Maintaining normotension (mean arterial pressure atleast 70-80 mm Hg)
- Hydrotherapy for fever control; judicious use of paracetamol to control fever
- Prevent hypo and hyperglycemia
- Parenteral mannitol (for raised ICP) in 0.5-1 gm/kg boluses
- Look for and correct hypercapnia and hypoxemia
9) Give one dose of vitamin K. Fresh-frozen plasma transfusion is required for bleeding manifestations, as and when required. Platelet transfusion is required for platelet counts <10,000/mm3 or invasive procedures.
10) N acetyl cysteine should be given in patients with acetaminophen induced ALF.
11) The role of antibiotics is not definitive. However, in grades 3 and 4 encephalopathy, prophylactic antibiotics may be advisable. Third generation cephalosporin, e.g., Ceftriaxone, is adequate.
The following are reasons for referral to a higher centre:
1) Liver transplantation: Planning for transfer to a transplant center should begin in patients with grade I or II encephalopathy because they may worsen rapidly. Early transfer is important as the risks involved with patient transport may increase or even preclude transfer once stage III or IV encephalopathy develops.
2) Renal replacement therapy: Renal replacement therapy forms an integral part of care given to all patients with renal failure. Continuous modes of dialysis such as continuous veno-venous hemofiltration are better as hemodynamic stability is maintained and fluctuations in intracranial pressure are avoided.
3) Transfusion requirement: Patients with significant gastrointestinal bleed should be referred to an institution where blood products can be arranged adequately.
B. Metro/ Super specialty situation
All those listed in the previous section. In addition, the following may be added:
1) Toxicology screen including acetaminophen level
2) Serum Ceruloplasmin
3) Serum ammonia ( if possible)
4) Autoimmune markers: Antinuclear antibody, anti smooth muscle antibody, anti liver-kidney microsomal antibodies, Immunoglobulin G level
5) HIV status (liver transplant)
6) Liver biopsy (via the transjugular route) may be done, if expertise with this technique is available.
Laboratory monitoring
|Frequency to repeat tests
|Four times a day
|Blood glucose (bedside glucostix adequate)
|Twice daily
|Serum sodium and potassium, Arterial blood gas
|PT/INR, blood count
|Alternate day
|Serum creatinine, magnesium
|Twice weekly
|Serum phosphate, Liver function tests
Treatment enumerated in the previous section should be instituted. The following are recommended, in addition.
1) Enteral nutrition is preferred and should be started through a nasogastric tube. Total parenteral nutrition may be considered, in case enteral nutrition is not tolerated or there are contraindications. However, the risk of fungal infections increases with parenteral nutrition.
2) Invasive hemodynamic monitoring in the form of intra-arterial blood pressure and central venous pressure monitoring.
3) Maintenance of adequate cerebral perfusion pressure Keeping mean arterial pressure >80mm Hg. - PaCO2 in the range of 30-35 mm Hg.
4) In ventilated patients, sedation should be instituted to avoid coughing and bucking on endotracheal tube. Bolus of lignocaine and sedation should be given prior to suctioning.
5) Pts with renal failure should be started on continuous renal replacement therapy to minimize fluctuations in intracranial pressure during dialysis.
6) Urgent hepatic transplantation is indicated in acute liver failure where prognostic indicators suggest a high likelihood of death.
7) Artificial and bio-artificial liver devices may be used as bridge to liver transplant.
If antibiotics are not given prophylactically, surveillance for infection (including chest radiography and periodic cultures of sputum, urine and blood for bacterial and fungal organisms) should be undertaken. In case the patient develops ascites, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis should be ruled out. A low threshold for starting appropriate anti-bacterial or anti-fungal therapy should be maintained.
Replacement therapy for thrombocytopenia and/or prolonged prothrombin time is recommended only in the setting of hemorrhage or prior to invasive procedures. Prophylactic platelet transfusions are needed only for platelet count <10,000/mm3 .
Criteria for referral for liver transplant
Several prognostic indicators suggest a high likelihood of mortality and in these patients, liver transplantation is the only option. Currently available prognostic scoring systems do not adequately predict outcome; neverthless, the King's college hospital criteria (KCH criteria) have been most commonly used and most frequently tested of the several criteria proposed.
Kings College Hospital Criteria
|Etiology of ALF
|Criteria predicting death
|Acetaminophen overdose
|Arterial pH <7.30
All of the following:
PT > 100 seconds (INR > 6.5)
Creatinine level > 3.4 mg/dL Grade III/IV encephalopathy
|Non-acetaminophen overdose
|PT > 100 seconds (INR > 6.5 ) OR Any three of the following:
Non A non B hepatitis/drug/halothane
Jaundice to encephalopathy interval > 7 days
Age < 10 years or > 40 years PT >50 seconds (INR >3.5) and bilirubin level >17.4 mg/dL
Prevention & Counseling: Hepatitis A & E, which spread mainly by faeco-oral contamination, can be controlled by clean and safe water supply & other hygienic measures. . Universal precautions, viral screening of blood for Hepatitis B & C should be made mandatory. Recycling of syringes should be discouraged and declared unlawful.

Re: 1750 mAh Slim Extended Battery
I went back to the stock battery for today and it was quite a bit worse. It appears that I am either expecting too much or I have too many programs killing battery life.
Re: 1750 mAh Slim Extended Battery
Hmm, good to know. Perhaps I am dealing with another issue.
Re: 1750 mAh Slim Extended Battery
I haven't noticed a weight difference, it feels very similar. I hope this is just me, but I just don't know how to get more out of the battery. I barely use it and the battery is at 40% when I get off work.
1750 mAh Slim Extended Battery
I've had my 1750 mAh battery for about a week now, and I'm irritated to have to say this but it doesn't seem any better than the stock battery. I've gone through about 6-7 cycles and everything functions exactly the same as the other batter did. I will probably send it back and stick with the original. I was hoping for some improvement, but doesn't seem to be working. I'm sure it's also possible that i have something running that ...
Re: 1750 mAh battery
It may have just been lucky at first. The battery just wasn't showing too much of a difference. I'm on my 2nd full charge of the 1750 batter right now. Yesterday it was not good, but so far today it's killing even with steady usage. Seidio did say I need to wait 5-6 full cycles to really see the difference, but so far so good. I recommend buying this battery from Seidioonline.com, safe and reliable. I'll try to update again in ...
Re: Getting More Out of Your Battery
After a week or two testing this theory, it has been less and less of an impact. It may save me 10-15% at this point. I just received my 1750 mAh battery which I know will help things quite a bit.
Re: Getting More Out of Your Battery
Could be, if you are in a poor coverage area and Verizon relies on other networks to get your signal, it could hurt that situation.
Re: Slim extended battery
Yeah the 1750 is available at Seidio, Androidcentral.com and even Amazon if you're willing to wait and get a better price.
Re: battery update
Excellent, glad it's working! Of course, downloading the app "Advanced Task Killer" is always a huge help to kill all of your running apps. My reception has also been a little suspect. Not sure what to think about that.
Re: Getting More Out of Your Battery
Today was my first day testing this new theory on a full charge. So far, 8 hours into my day I am noticing MAJOR improvements in battery life. Normally I'd be at 50% by now with fairly light usage and right now it's at like 85-90%.
Re: Speakin of lousy batterys...
Probably a little bit of both. Charging with a computer isn't a true power source I've heard.
Getting More Out of Your Battery
I found this on the Android forums, a little tip to help extend your battery life. They also have a Seidio 1750 extended battery for $50 that is apparently no thicker than the original. Here's the details on extended the stock battery. http://forum.androidcentral.com/d roid-incredible/10987-battery-life-not-lastin g-your-fix-here.html From home... Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks (second one) > Enable Always-On -- checked by default, I unchecked it. It says in its description that it may cause battery drain 'on certain' networks. Gentleman, I think ...

Re: The worst phone I ever got
worst post ever.

Would you mind sharing the coupon code used?
Re: CingularSUX
Sort of, but it's definitely not an upgrade to the curve.
Re: CingularSUX
Haha, thank you for that. I love it.
Re: CingularSUX
Huh? the guys name is "CingularSUX" I am not making any statements about Cingular. The Bold is NOT an upgrade in the same line as the Curve, the javelin is an upgrade to the Curve. The Bold is "9000" for a reason.
Your review makes no sense. Don't get me wrong, it's okay to not like the size of the phone, but you rank it a 2 out 5 ONLY because it's too big? The phone is a new line, it's not meant to be an upgrade to the curve, that's going to be the Javelin. You just made yourself irrelevant.
Apparently my phone only has a 2 megapixel camera, my bad.
Re: pepsijunky
Dang! Euphoria is right, I got tricked big time! I can't for the life of me figure out where I got 3.2 megapixels from....I even just posted that above again! I'm really sorry about that.
Bold vs iPhone 3G
I had the iPhone 3G for 5 months then switched to the Bold last week. I think deep down I am a crackberry addict even though I loved my iPhone. It makes it easy to switch when my iPhone goes for $540 on eBay, but so far the Bold has been stellar. I like to compare the two as similar in a lot of ways, both have 3G, wifi, great color screens, speed, usability, GPS, maps, ...
Re: 2.1 Upgrade
You can't have 2 phones under the same profile, you need to separate it in itunes or windows. As far as I remember.
Re: SOunds like
That's exactly what a another shady salesman would say!
Re: ATT Wireless Cut off service prematurely / maliciously
I'm thinking he just blew it out of proportion like most wireless customers. He probably has almost no idea how it works which is surprising since 95% of people don't know.
Re: Don't believe the negative hype...
It makes you ridiculous that you don't realize you saying the signal sucks is an opinion. It's all relative, you are probably in a building or house that gets bad reception. That happens all the time. We have a strong 3g network here, my phone works well in my house, it does not work well at my work. That is the way it goes. I am happy because it is what it is.
Re: Don't believe the negative hype...
Actually, it is your opinion, the signal has been great for me and the battery life is as good or better for me than the old one. Saying something "sucks" is not a fact. You are ridiculous.
Re: ???? question here
It's cheaper if you had an eligibile upgrade, the old one is no longer for sale & it has the option of 3G. Are those enough reasons spaz?
Re: Don't believe the negative hype...
Dude you are clueless, you obviously don't know what an analogy is. The point is that you can use 3G when ever you want you just have to turn it on and off. For an HDTV that would be like turning the TV on and finding it was on ESPN regular definition, so then you pick up the controller and change the damn channel and KABAM! You're in business! Don't be ignorant.
Re: Don't believe the negative hype...
Thank you, my thoughts exactly.
Re: iPhone 3G
Some of your statements are opinions but some of your statements are so wrong that it's just idiotic. No one, and I mean no one, can say that Apple's marketing isn't good. It is the most impressive thing in Marketing since I don't even know when. To cause this sort of uproar and frenzy over a wireless device is just plain genius. I'm pretty sure you don't even know what marketing means so I'll let ...
Seriously, well said.
Re: iPhone 3G
hahahahahah, good one dude! kool aid drinking iphone lover! You got me so good this time. It's like when my little brother used to call me a flat-faced buttsniffer because he learned from talking animals in a movie. Schlitter, you're so smart.

Non-convertible debentures (NCDs) are one of the best ways of diversifying your investment portfolio. They are becoming an increasingly popular investment instrument, especially given their secure nature.
Following are 3 major benefits of investing in NCDs:
Higher interest rates
The interest rates provided by NCDs are much higher compared with the traditional bank fixed deposits (FDs). In fact, this becomes a major differentiating factor for the investor as far as NCDs are concerned largely because they will fetch higher returns to beat inflation compared with bank FDs. Further, NCDs are closely regulated by the RBI, which becomes a key feature that attracts investors towards this investment instrument.
Higher capital appreciation
Compared with traditional bank FDs, NCDs provide investors with higher appreciation of capital when locked for a long term. This becomes another attractive feature for investing in NCDs.
Secure investment
Generally, debentures provide an investor with either first or second charge on the assets of the issuer of NCDs. Therefore, this makes investment in NCDs much more secure and safer for investors compared with other forms of unsecured investment.
Despite being a highly lucrative investment option, NCDs can put investors at risk of losing capital. Thus, it is very crucial for investors to do their preliminary analysis of the financials of the company issuing the NCDs well before parking their funds.
This is where help from professional experts can come in really handy. They'll not only provide you with all the relevant research and information on the company, but will also guide you appropriately. In fact, they become your investment planners and help you align the NCD investment with your overall objectives.

Svarlbard - Kingdom of the Ice Bear
posted by Ian Lewis in Club Meetings
So there we were - our first meeting of 2017 no less - and the chairman back off his hols - what more could you ask?
No visiting speaker live in the hall this evening - instead a recorded presentation by seasoned photographers Pam and Eddy Lane with the fascinating title "Svarlbard - Kingdom of the Ice Bear". So not surprisingly we made a virtual journey up to the frozen North (and believe me we chose the coldest night so far this winter to show this!) to see magnificent polar bears.
Now the photography was stunning - and the commentary (as far as it went) was hugely informative. However - as we all sat there spellbound - the dvd developed a life of its own - had obviously been watching too much Ronnie Barker 'cos we went from Arkwright to answering the previous question - if you know what I mean! Made following the story rather interesting though! Finally it gave up altogether!! But there were other shorter presentations on the disc which we were able to watch and enjoy once they'd been downloaded to the laptop's hard drive - and very good they were too!
Pam and Tom's images were so stunning though - so perhaps we might see them in person one day?

Perhaps all attention on primary night in California should be on the 33rd Congressional District – home to the Trump National Golf Club. After all, in New York, the only Congressional District that Donald Trump didn't win was the one in which he lives.
Trump is likely to do well in California, too.
Our California poll of 1,165 high propensity Republican voters has Trump currently atop the leader board by a comfortable margin. In the survey, conducted April 11 through April 14, Trump receives 41% of the vote, to Ted Cruz's 23% and John Kasich's 21%. A separate sample of 466 Republicans registered since the turn of the New Year has Trump ahead 53%-21%-15%, indicating that Trump's overall lead among the expected turnout is a few points greater.
And while there isn't a Trump residence here in the Golden State, the closest we have is in the 33rd CD on Palos Verdes Peninsula — home to a marquee Trump investment and a sublime irony if that were the only district Trump didn't carry in California.
A comparison of California's primary to the election we just saw in New York is justified for two reasons: The systems in each state are similar and, as our recent poll suggests, another Trump sweep could be in the offing here.
Of course, winning the state overall isn't the hole-in-one it is in the winner-take-all states. California awards its delegates on a winner-take-all basis in each Congressional District – 53 concurrent holes of match play.
Even with our robust sample of more than 1,000 likely voters, it's still not enough to look at individual districts. And some districts have so few voters we may never see significant polling. But, to enhance our findings we combined districts based on contiguity and common demographics as a way to interpret what might happen on a district-by-district basis.

Your Business Needs a PPC strategy
Pay Per Click advertising, also known as PPC or Google Adwords, is one of the best and fastest way to generate leads for your business. When creating a strategic and properly managed campaign, you can create an ongoing pipeline of prospects and customers for your business.
Why should you make PPC part of your online marketing strategy?
- Pay Per Click ads show up for more relevant searches, which bring more qualified leads
- You control your ad budget spend
- Allows you to show up as often as possible where your customers are looking
- You only pay when someone clicks on your ad
- You don't have to wait for an organic SEO strategy to kick in
- It's scalable - you can turn up your campaign ad spend once you have it set up and running well
This is no way undermining an organic SEO strategy, which is very important. However, it's important to hit your marketing from all angles so you can dominate the search engine results page where your customers are looking:
- top of the page - PPC ads
- organic search results - SEO
- local map listings - Google business listing
- showing up on directory sites - citation management
In order for Google to keep showing the most relevant results and keep people using Google as their preferred search engine, they have to always serve the most relevant results. It is a mistake to just think of Adwords as a bidding war by trying to bid more for your keywords then the competition.
Google serves up ads based on a Quality Score. Yes your ads are rated and given a score based on these factors: (from WordStream)
- Your click-through rate (CTR).
- The relevance of each keyword to its ad group.
- Landing page quality and relevance.
- The relevance of your ad text.
- Your historical AdWords account performance
Can't You Do This All Yourself?
As a business owner, you probably don't have time to learn about or implement Adwords yourself. We know that you are focusing on sales, management, and building customer relationships.
Anyone can run an Adwords campaign, however it's easy to run through your ad budget if it's not set up correctly. It's understandable that you want to be in control of all aspects of your business, but you also need to be strategic as a business owner and know when to leave certain things to an experienced professional.
Knowing how to set up conversion tracking, setting goals for your campaign, linking it to your Google analytics account, setting up call tracking and form tracking takes skill and expertise. Keeping an eye on your ad campaigns, tweaking it, and analyzing the data is an important part of making sure your Adwords marketing strategy is effective.
Implementing a PPC ad strategy for your business can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Contact us to learn more about how Pay Per Click can help you achieve your business goals.

Has our nation driven itself insane? This new Arizona Immigration Law makes a normal person question the sanity and logic of the people who govern us. Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress pass a law forcing all Americans to release all of their medical information to the Federal Government. Then this same American president and his supporters along with the power of the same Federal Government turn around and cry FOUL, "Horrible Civil Rights Violations," when a State Government asks residents to show an ID card. Does this make sense to anyone?
If only we had a Constitution to guide us, perhaps we would know how to govern ourselves.

Navratri, the nine sacred days, are the most auspicious days according to Hinduism. All over north India, this festival is celebrated with great joy. These nine days are dedicated to Maa Durga and her nine avatars.
The story behind this festivity is about the battle that took place between Maa Durga and a demon Mahishasura, representing egotism. All the nine days of the festival are dedicated to each avatar of Maa Durga and they each have a color associated with it which devotees have to wear while taking part in all the festivities.
Nine Avatars of Maa Durga And Colors Associated | Nine Day of Navratri
Day 1: Shailputri
She is considered as the embodiment that has the collective power of Vishnu, Brahma and Mahesh. This was the form of the goddess which was worshipped as Shiva's consort. It depicts action and vigour and that's why the color for day 1 is red.
Day 2: Brahmacharini
She is the one who practices devout. With a blissful nature, she endows peace, prosperity, happiness and grace upon all her devotees. She is filled with happiness and bliss and is a way to moksha. With being a synonym to calm yet powerful energy, the color of the second day is royal blue.
Day 3: Chandraghanta
This avatar represents the grace and the beauty and she is worshipped for peace, prosperity and tranquillity on the third day. She possesses great strength and is the Apostle of bravery and the color is yellow.
Day 4: Kushmunda
This one is considered as the one who created the universe. It is said that she created this universe with a bout of laughter and then made it verdant with the vegetation, making the color of the day Green.
Day 5: Skand Mata
The mother of Kartikeya or Skanda, she was chosen as the commander-in-chief in the war that war against demons. Skanda accompanies her in the infant form. As it shows that a vulnerable mother can turn into a dark storm cloud when it comes to protecting her child, the color becomes grey.
Day 6: Katyayani
Being born to a great sage, Kata, as an avatar of Maa Durga, she exhibited immense courage as she was dressed in orange. Therefore, the color of this day is orange.
Day 7: Kalratri
Because of the dark complexion she had, dishevelled hair and a fearless posture, she is like Kali. She is the most fierce of all the forms of goddess Durga. She is always dressed in white and has three eyes that shine bright. She wears white and that color shows peace and prayer. That's why the color is white on day 7.
Day 8: Maha Gauri
The intelligent, calm and peaceful avatar. It is believed that she was transformed into the black after being white when she was in long austerities in Himalayas' deep forests. But when Shiva cleaned her with Ganga water, she turned back to white and came to know as Maha Gauri. The color of this day is pink showing the fresh start and denoting hope.
Day 9: Siddhidatri
This avatar has supernatural healing powers. She is always in a happy state and has four arms. She blesses everyone like a mother goddess. The color of the last day is sky blue as she shows the blissful nature just like the sky is on a clear day.

So sweet, the dinosaur deck is so real…
That said, two ways to grant haste… I want a way to enable dino-trample, please!
I am sorry for doubting mah' dinos.
Am i missing something? Like a manacost
Yea but why does the card look like that
Apparently it is a new media thing, a virtual game of some sort. I know nothing about it but just heard of it
Magic Arena. Shitty Hearthstone ripoff.
have you played it?
It was revealed today. Not interested in playing digital magic. I played hearthstone and I know I hate that. Digital card games are not for me.
yea i certainly prefer paper as exemplified by my 10 commander decks. that being said it's not really fair to call it shity because it doesn't appeal to you.
I suppose not. I'll keep my hate to myself better at the very least.
I don't know how others feel about digital magic, but I like it. most of the people I know that play magic are too busy. I've tried playing at the store but I am not a great player and I usually build homebrews that don't work well against more experienced players I find at the store.
Having played other digital card games at length, there are better, just as accessible options than Hearthstone.
Well thats a cost reducer, a mana dork and a draw fixer. Dinos are pushed and i love it
at first I was unsure if dinosaurs would be able to support their high mana costs, but with this we've seen lots of support, as well as some more low cost dinos.
Am I the only one that feels like dino tribal is just a bit too pushed in this set? Feels like they're getting a tonne of non-legendary lords and pay offs for having loads of dinos and we're yet to see many big pays offs for vampire's life gaining and merfolk's exploring.
they focused on the new tribes in the large set also we only have one proper lord and it's awful. they have a lot of good support but to be fair most dinos are over costed. they will be a good deck but only time will tell how they stack up to ramunap's speed or control's advantage and suite of removal. i hope dinos turn out competitive but there is always the possibility they are too slow
it's almost like they are pushing a new consept too far just to make it viable like they did with vehicles. *cough*called it*cough*
i still think dinosaurs are too slow for standard.
Well that's what this is for.
Eight days late, you might want to look at this set. I swear, half of the creatures are dinosaurs.
So many cheap things for the dino deck to do before it can cast its dinos, and to let that happen sooner or better.
so this turn two i to rishkar turn 3 into a gishath on turn 4. value.

Ambient MediaJapanese Atmospheres of Self
Paul Roquet
Print publication date: 2016
Publisher: University of Minnesota Press
Contemporary life is increasingly shaped through attunement to the atmospheric affordances of the media environment. Ambient Media delves into the use of music, video, film, and literature as tools to tune this atmospheric self. The book traces the emergence of mood-regulating media in Japan from the environmental art and Erik Satie boom of the 1960s and 70s to the more recent emphasis on "healing" styles. Focusing on how ambience reshapes those dwelling within it, Ambient Media explores the working of atmospheres designed for affective calm, rhythmic attunement, embodied security, and urban coexistence. The book argues for understanding ambient media as a specifically neoliberal response to mood regulation, serving as a way to atmospherically shape collective behavior while providing resources for emotional autonomy and attention restoration at the individual level. Ambient Media considers the adaptive side of atmosphere as an approach to self-care and social mobility. At the same time, the book considers the limits of mood regulation and the low-affect lifestyle when it comes to interpersonal life. Musicians, video artists, filmmakers, and writers in Japan have expanded on Brian Eno's original idea of a style affording "calm, and a space to think," providing materials to cultivate sensory serenity within the uncertain horizons of the contemporary social landscape. Offering a new way of understanding Japanese social demands to "read the air," the book documents both the adaptive and the alarming sides of this turn to mediated moods.

In business travel, content aggregation is a term used when a supplier (typically a travel management company) accesses content from multiple sources so their clients can book their travel arrangements in one place.
For example, here at Good Travel Management, business travel consultants access content from the Global Distribution System (GDS). Typically, business travel agents use a GDS (a computer platform operated by the business travel agent which enables automated transactions between travel service providers) to obtain rates for low-cost carriers, budget hotels, websites such as laterooms.com and expedia.co.uk as well as negotiated discounts. They combine all of this content, so it's easy for clients to compare the options available whether delivered via an offline provision (a business travel consultant) or online (via an online booking tool).
Business travel professionals train for a long period of time to become fully experienced in using these complex systems. A corporate travel agent will use all of this intricate information to enable them to work out the best route and fare type for an upcoming trip, maximising savings on air tickets or hotel rooms.
Ultimately it's down to the organisations business mix if they are to use online or offline methods but for more complex bookings the human touch and know-how still wins hands down!
Each and every flight shown on the GDS is broken down into "classes" represented by a letter (EG: within each Economy cabin there are a range of letters representing each fare type from Y full fare to X lowest available fare) The booking class determines the price and booking conditions of the fare.
GDS systems enable corporate travel consultants to book flights quickly and efficiently (much faster than internet sites) using content aggregation to create a range of flight combinations, to ensure the best fare is found for every journey a functionality simply not possible using the internet.

SALADYN originates from our common will to better understand the processes at work in landscape evolution on instantaneous, human, historical and geological time scales. Our research efforts primarily focus on erosion, weathering, sediment transport, hydrology and wind dynamics as these are primary components of landscape evolution.
Central Asian landscapes provide an exceptional setting for this cooperation effort. Active mountain ranges surrounded by deserts provide a variety of landscapes and boundary conditions that enable to observe and study processes and test theories and models whether numerical or experimental.
Because of rapid development and extensive exploitation of natural ressources the landscapes of western China are also subject to strong human pressure and are highly responsive to global change. Water balance, temperature changes, wind dynamics and air turbulence may have dramatic effects on river flow, vegetation growth, soil moisture content, soil resistance to erosion, and sediment transport dynamics. All these issues will in turn affect landscape evolution, morphology and have a feedback effect on water balance and availability. They therefore represent key targets for the understanding of the non linear interactions both at human or geologic time scales between global warming, landscape evolution, environmental and resource preservation.
Our objectives are
To develop common research projects at an international level, that cannot be undertaken alone by individuals or single research institutes, on sediment transport dynamics and landscape evolution.
To define a common research strategy
To develop exchanges of human resources (faculty and students).
To develop networking through workshops and common publications.
To raise funds in order to broaden the cooperation.
To Strengthen and advertise the French-Chinese cooperation in earth science on landscape evolution issues
