Hey, Noline here. Welcome and thank you for checking out my blog. If you are looking for a complete review of the Human Anatomy Course, you have come to the right place as this is where you will find my unbiased review of what I really thought about this course by Dr James Ross.
Note that this is a review site: Click here to visit the Human Anatomy Course official website.
You may wonder why I am writing this. Well, when I first studied anatomy and physiology I found the subject matter intimidating and needed a guide that was simple and to the point. When I found the Human Anatomy Course I knew this was it and decided to write a review to help other people like me looking for a simple, but comprehensive anatomy and physiology course.
What you are about to read is the essential details you need to know before grabbing the course for yourself. But be warned, I give you both the good and the bad, so if that is not what you want to hear, then this review is not for you.
So what exactly are included in Dr Ross's Human Anatomy Course?
It is a comprehensive, but yet simple course for any person who needs to learn anatomy and physiology.
The first section teaches you everything you could want to know about anatomy and physiology.
- The first module covers anatomy, broken into lessons that cover the different body systems.
- The second module covers physiology, again broken into lessons covering the different body systems.
- The third module will give you a thorough understanding of medical terminology using various learning techniques to help you retain what you have learned.
- The fourth to seventh modules cover clinical pathology and the different diseases including a comprehensive glossary of medical terms.
The second section is a comprehensive guide that provides a detailed understanding of pharmacology including drug dosage, interaction, effects of and factors influencing the dose and types of drugs. As in the previous anatomy & physiology section it provides a comprehensive glossary of terminology used in pharmacology and introduces the reference guides used by pharmacists. Drug treatments are studied as they relate to the functions of the drugs as well as how they are applied for the different body systems.
Each and every module is dotted with tables and diagrams, explaining and illustrating each and every concept.
The bonus, if still available, includes a comprehensive module on nursing and paramedic care including CPR for health care professionals.
How is the teaching conveyed in a simple way to help you learn fast and retain what you have learned?
The lessons are easy to follow and are laid out as follows:
- Lesson objectives.
- Course material with simple explanations.
- Summary of key facts.
- Revision exercises and solutions to check your understanding and whether you have achieved your learning objectives.
- Suggestions.
Course material is supplemented by detailed illustrations, anatomy diagrams and drawings, pictures, associations, quizzes and programmed learning. These tools and techniques greatly assist with knowledge retention.
Learning material is simple and the focus is on helping the learner remember what they have learned.
Who is this course for?
This course is literally for any person who wants to learn more about their body and how it works, or sometimes doesn't work so well, in a simple and easy way.
Click here to visit the Human Anatomy Course official website.
It is perfect for Medical Practitioners, Specialists, Students, Educators, Researchers, Anatomists, Nurses, Paramedics, Sports Trainers, Chiropractors, Therapists, Reflexologists and other Alternative Health Care Professionals and Injury Law Attorneys.
In short, it is for every person whether you are new to the field of physiology and anatomy and have no prior knowledge or are an experienced medical professional.
What are the Bad things about the Human Anatomy Course?
No course is perfect, so here we go:
- Each section of the course is a stand-alone course. The downside of this is that basic anatomy and physiology concepts are repeated several times.
- The modules covering pathology follows a different format to the anatomy and physiology modules. Just a personal preference for consistency, I suppose.
- Even though the information is given across in simple terms in ways that makes learning and retention easy, it is unlikely that anybody would be able to master anatomy and physiology in as little as three days as suggested by the course. If you do, please let me know at firstname.lastname@example.com
What are the Good things about the Human Anatomy Course?
- It consists of thousands of pages of good stuff and covers hundreds of medical topics and the course material is comprehensive, yet simple.
- It teaches complex concepts in simple language and uses many techniques to help with retention helping you to learn much faster. Each lessons ends with a summary of key facts, revision exercises and solutions to reinforce learning and pinpoint weaknesses.
- The course includes hundreds, if not thousands of detailed illustrations with labels to aid your comprehension and boost your retention.
- Anyone can learn anatomy and physiology using this home study course.
Overall what do I think?
The Human Anatomy Course by Dr James Ross, in my opinion is the number one home study course if you want to master anatomy and physiology fast.
It is comprehensive, yet simple and use so many learning techniques that you will learn faster. Click here to discover this for yourself.
Hope my web page has helped you,

look whos back with something he decided to delete from every repository then take it private himself x), wouldn't bother with the dedicated server as it really doesn't have any anti cheat features I would just stick to Trackbase's ET 3.00.
don't trust this guy, he is a moron from the UK who's constantly changing his identity and starting new forums where he publishes bullshit like this
won't link any of it here but he's banned on a league website called CyberGamer for cheating as well as on Crossfire for spamming nonsense, including another "anticheat" he "developed" which turned out to just be a modified silentmod pk3 file
As for the reply to Purple was it not you and arcade who exploited silent mod while working with me? How can you expect me to trust you while you are destroying other developers work, I do understand that they may piss you off with being stubborn but it doesn't mean you should attack them.
Hello "hello"..
Yes this is truely "bullshit" when there are 2 versions compiled from actual source code..
I admire the trolls and fakes! Maybe even you have been involved with this silentmod pk3.. For now I will continue to keep this thread updated.

Gila Under Threat
- Details
- Category: News About Gila Campaign
- Published: Friday, 17 November 2017 14:51
The THREAT
We recently learned that Holloman Air Force Base (AFB) is planning military training exercises in the area on a scale that would devastate the peace, quiet and solitude that make our state's largest and oldest Wilderness Area so special. We discovered that they plan to conduct 10,000 sorties annually above the Gila and Aldo Leopold Wilderness Areas. Yes, you read that right: an average of almost 30 flights each day. We understand that these "overflights" will be low altitude jets screaming only 500 feet above the National Forest and 2,000 feet above Wilderness. What's more, they propose to drop 30,000 magnesium flares each year and "defensive chaff" while doing so. Their proposal would mean
that all of the wilderness areas, wilderness study areas and the entire Gila National Forest would look and sound like a war zone. The U.S. Air Force is obligated to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, which requires public involvement. They are preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to assess the potential environmental effects of "optimizing the training airspace at Holloman AFB".
They have not fulfilled that obligation. Holloman AFB did not notify us of this proposal, nor did they inform the Grant or Catron County Commissions. They didn't bother to have a public meeting in Silver City, the population center closest to their proposed activities. In fact, the
public scoping period had already closed by the time we discovered what they were trying to do. Had it not been for a vigilant supporter bringing
this to our attention, this preposterous plan might have gone unchallenged.
We immediately drafted a letter to Holloman AFB, asking that the scoping period be reopened and extended and that they hold a public meeting in Silver City to explain to concerned citizens what exactly they are proposing, why it is necessary, and why they think Wilderness is an appropriate place for supersonic jets and incendiary devices. We got the word out to partner organizations and businesses affected and within 48 hours secured endorsements from dozens of groups. We also reached out to other groups that are typically hostile to our efforts. We think there is common cause on this issue. We immediately contacted our congressional delegation to bring this to their attention and to request their assistance scheduling a meeting with Holloman officials.
* The FOIA response was unacceptable and we're appealing it. Updates coming soon.

Published on Feb 9, 2013 Sean McColl showing some campus board training exercises. Lats - 22cm (8.66) inches apart - 1cm width - rounded edges http://seanmccoll.com for more info on Sean. Timing: Run a continuous stopwatch and start a new exercise every 2 minutes. It should take roughly 30 seconds to complete an exercise which gives you 90 seconds rest. With exercises that are mirrored, I still take a 90 second rest in between to maximize my output. A typical campus board workout for me looks like the following: Up by 1's - rest Up by 1's - rest Up by 2's - rest Up by 2's - rest Big dynamic moves - rest Big dynamic moves - rest Bumping left hand - rest Bumping right hand - rest Bumping left hand - rest Bumping right hand - rest Double up by 1's - rest Double up by 2's - rest Offset double up by 1's (left hand high) - rest Offset double up by 1's (right hand high) - rest Offset by 2, alternating hands (last exercise) - finished REST 20 MINUTES Repeat.

My name is Jasmin and my Fiancé's name is Sean, we are new parents to an American Bully named King. He's 3 months old and 46lbs. We live in Southern California.
We've had him a little over a week now and we're learning new things every day. We would like to have our King as a registered service dog. We are going to do everything we can to get him where he needs to be for that. I found this forum by searching for information on google.
We also have a small Chihuahua named Angel. They get along for the most part. She's still adjusting to having another dog in her territory. (They don't sleep together and that's one of the only times they have ever been in the same bed together)
I look forward to reading and learning and participating in this forum.

Soft, cooling, comfortable Socks
Because you can't be comfortable without your own Wundersocks.
25% Polyamide
3% Elastan
The materials that give our socks comfort and durability are found in the mountains, both in natural products and those derived from them. Wundersocks are made from a custom blend of Merino wool, nylon and elastane.
This is the strength that holds the Merino wool together. The soft fabric is known for its durability and breathability, and is widely used in athletic wear.
Merino wool is the softest and warmest wool there is, and that's why we use only the finest strands in our socks.
Your socks need to stay up. This exceptional elastic fiber makes sure they do.
What people are saying
"But to my surprise, not only did the socks not sweat, they were cool and comfortable the entire hike."Mountain Obsession
"As other hikers need to keep changing their socks, i can wear the pair over and over. No blisters or wet feet. By far the best socks around!"Intensity Trekker
Made in Italy
Wundersocks are designed and made in Italy by Sport Mayrl, a family-owned business in the South Tyrol region of the Italian Alps. We have spent 30 years perfecting our socks with the help of locals and outdoor experts. Based on our experiences, research, and exhaustive tests and trials, we developed our merino wool socks right here in the heart of the Alps, and they truly live up to their name – "Wundersocks".
Studies show that only 25% of European citizens are aware that the 112 emergency number can be dialed throughout the EU. All the more reason why we added the European emergency number, in clear, high-contrast stitching on both toes.

Studio Stockholm is a unique series of photographic art, photographed and produced by our own designers. The collection is a product of Stockholm - the Venice of the North - the city whose heart consists of cobbled alleys lined with lime-plastered façades, weakly pigmented in dusky pink, warm yellow, ochre, umber and terracotta. A colour scale just as alluring today as it was 500 years ago. Behind the façades, the city hides the Scandinavian interior design style, often described as light, fresh and contemporary, which creates an exciting contrast between the past and the present.
Studio Stockholm consists of 14 photographic art designs, taking in both colour and black and white. The collection takes us on a tour of Stockholm - through Södermalm, Riddarholmen and along the winding alleys of Gamla Stan. The weight of history is palpable and as we stroll along the city streets, we realise we are but humble guests in a place where time has stood still.
Studio Stockholm - exclusive to Desenio.

Olbermann gets prime-time show on Gore's network
When former MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann starts a new prime-time show at Current TV in San Francisco this spring, he will bring the 5-year-old network two things it has never had much of: viewers and buzz.
The liberal host had 1 million prime-time viewers when he abruptly left MSNBC last month after eight years, with neither party offering a reason. Current TV, despite being available in 60 million U.S. homes, has 23,000 prime-time viewers for its mix of user-generated and scripted entertainment and news.
But analysts said Tuesday's announcement of the arrival of the witty, acerbic Olbermann - a three-time winner of the Edward R. Murrow Award - could give Current currency. It intends to rebuild around Olbermann, much as MSNBC did by surrounding the anchor with fellow liberals such as Rachel Maddow.
To date, Current has been best known for its co-founder, former Vice President Al Gore, and for two of its reporters being detained for 4 1/2 months by the North Korean government in 2009 before former President Bill Clinton helped secure their release.
Under the leadership of a former MTV executive during the past year, the network has moved away from the short-form, user-generated work that was its staple. Now it programs more half-hour and hourlong shows.
"That was my first question: Who's watching it?" said Brad Adgate, director of research for Horizon Media, a media industry analytical and research firm.
Adgate's second question? "What channel is (Current) on?"
Rough few years
Current is available in 25 million fewer homes than MSNBC, as it is less likely to be included in a basic cable package. While Current won an Emmy Award in 2007 for Best Interactive Television Service, it rarely generates cultural buzz.
In addition, the past few years have been difficult economically. The network has laid off 140 employees since 2008 and now has a staff of 250 to 300. In April 2009, Current canceled a planned IPO as the economy sagged. It had been on the market for a $400 million-plus asking price.
Still, Gore said Tuesday that the privately held Current is "profitable." Current gets fees from cable providers and had low programming costs - until Tuesday's announcement that it hired Olbermann.
"We are delighted to provide Keith with the independent platform and freedom that Current can and does uniquely offer," Gore said Tuesday.
Olbermann offered few specifics other than say his new show, to originate in New York, will be "an improved, and we hope amplified and stronger, version of the show that I just did."
He will receive an undisclosed ownership stake in Current, though one not believed to be larger than Gore's or that of co-founder Joel Hyatt.
Mutual antipathy
Since he began at MSNBC, Olbermann's biting commentary helped to nearly quadruple his audience there. But he bristled at management - and the feeling was mutual.
In November, MSNBC suspended Olbermann for making campaign contributions of $2,400 to each of three Democratic candidates who appeared on his show.
"I don't want to imply that there were massive corporate forces working against individual stories," Olbermann said Tuesday. "We're talking about the industry as a whole.
"None of this should be directed at my nine previous employers. ... Without getting too high-falutin', we're talking about a larger purpose," Olbermann said in explaining his move to Current.
Gore said Olbermann would be allowed to contribute to political candidates, but the network would disclose them to viewers.
When he founded Current, Gore assured audiences that he would not create a liberal TV network. He addressed that Tuesday by saying audiences would be well-served by hearing from Olbermann.
Serving the audience
"You do what you have to do to get viewers," said Larry Gerbrandt, a veteran media analyst who has also worked at the Nielsen Co. "Has Obama kept every promise he made? Necessity makes you do things."
Many liberals, including Eden James, director of organizing at Change.org, a leading progressive online hub, were thrilled.
"At a time when the corporate consolidation of mass media has raised troubling questions about the future of independent media, Keith Olbermann's voice has become a progressive institution," James said. "His core progressive audience will gravitate (with him) over time."

Currently creating an unlikely stir up in Manchester are the delightfully eclectic Air Cav. What's most appealing about this four-piece, aside from the fact they've named themselves after a reference from Apocalypse Now rather than some typically bland pseudo-'working class' terminology, is that they sound like they could be from anywhere but the north west of England.
Not that there's that much wrong with that part of the world of course – rainy days, run-down estates and busy motorways aside that is – but it is most refreshing to hear a band who, while not exactly dismissing their roots, aren't trying to ram some cod-romanticised version of their heritage down people's throats either.
'Alliance' has been hovering around (Nottingham) DiS club nights for months now, its initial demo creating a buzz last summer culminating in it finally getting a release now. The main difference between the demo and the finished version is the enhanced production on the record, as Sophie Parkes' violin is turned up in the mix to create what can only be described as orchestral shoegazing.
Sister track 'Branches' is even more of a departure for Air Cav, Chris Nield's vocal proving spookily reminiscent of Win Butler initially before the song turns into an elongated riff of Tarantula-era Ride proportions.
Without doubt, this is as promising a debut as you'll hear all winter that if anything may raise the bar a little too high for Air Cav's subsequent releases.

Have a plan to reduce emissions? 'Earth Lab' lets you try it out
(Wednesday, September 21, 2011)
Lauren Morello, E&E reporter
Climate change has become a third rail in American politics, but just a few blocks from the Capitol, one museum is not afraid to touch the issue.
The new "Earth Lab" at the Marian Koshland Science Museum -- an arm of the National Academy of Sciences -- offers visitors a chance to step up to a virtual negotiating table and craft their own plan for reducing U.S. carbon dioxide emissions.
The $2 million exhibit has a solid scientific pedigree: It's based on the academy's recent "America's Climate Choices" reports, and it was developed with the help of a 13-member science advisory panel.
But that wonky core is wrapped in a sleek exterior that resembles an Apple store -- a "sophisticated aesthetic" designed to draw in the Koshland's target audience of young adults 18 to 29, said the museum's deputy director, Erika Shugart.
Large touch pad screens displaying bright icons cover the Earth Lab's walls. The screens are also embedded in the surface of the blond-wood Parsons table that dominates the space.
That's the "decision table," which invites visitors to swipe and tap through a series of screens to cut the country's carbon dioxide output to just 203 gigatons a year by 2050, or 50 percent below the 1990 level.
As users get closer to that goal, the screen slowly turns from red to green. If they succeed in hitting the museum's emissions target, visitors can email their results to themselves or a friend. They can also plug their plans into a series of global scenarios to gauge the effect on future temperature rise.
The museum ups the ante by projecting the results from each of the decision table's four touch-screen stations on a large wall screen -- so that, just like diplomats at a real negotiating table, Koshland Museum visitors can decide to compete or collaborate.
"It's an opportunity for people to think about how to lower greenhouse gases for the United States," Shugart said. "We worked with a decision scientist to create this scenario where people think about their values, then go in to try to lower greenhouse gases. People can decide, if we're trying to hit this target by 2050, what's important? Cost savings, land preservation, oil independence or air quality?"
Other exhibits show visitors how scientists study the climate. One display case contains a thick cross-section of a giant sequoia, marked to show annual growth rings from 1580 to 2000, and a life-sized plastic model of an ice core. Next to them sit a sample of fossilized coral and a handwritten federal weather log, dated 1882, on loan from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Choices, choices, and you get to make them
A large grid of photographs illustrates the effects of climate change, from receding Arctic sea ice to more frequent drought. A touch screen shows how those effects will change with each degree of warming and shows where they are occurring or will occur. Another pair of displays presents different choices for adapting to future climate change, from making buildings more energy efficient to increasing the amount of electricity produced by renewable sources like wind and solar.
Asked to show off his favorite part of the exhibit during a recent tour, Pennsylvania State University professor Richard Alley, head of the Earth Lab's science advisory panel, became sheepish. "It's not the coolest thing here," he said, walking over to a bright touch screen in a dark corner. "But it's really interesting."
A few taps later, Alley had called up an animated graph showing how individual nations' carbon dioxide output has changed over the past 30 years. As the scientist used his finger to slide forward in time, the little white balls that represented each country bobbed along, largely unchanged: the United States at the top, most other countries far below.
But when Alley got to the year 2000, something unexpected happened. The large white dot that represented China shot zoomed up in a blur -- a slick electronic shorthand for the economic boom that is rapidly refashioning how the Chinese live and work.
"Isn't that cool?" Alley said, chuckling.
The scientist said he hopes that such gee-whiz moments will help, in a small way, to inject a little objective information into what has become an increasingly contentious national debate about climate change.
"The science has gotten more solid, and the discussion has gotten more rancorous," Alley said. "So think [outreach] is more important than ever. ... We need to learn the messaging. The National Academy of Sciences have tried so hard to get it right and to be very true to the science. It does not tell you what to do. It is not Democratic CO2, it is not Republican CO2, it is CO2."

Social media and celebrity culture is helping drive the rise of veganism. Reporter Charlie Bullough looks at why the number of vegans in Britain has quadrupled in four years.
Social media and celebrity culture is helping drive the rise of veganism. Reporter Charlie Bullough looks at why the number of vegans in Britain has quadrupled in four years.
Can you imagine a meat-free future with no dairy products?
Well, the notion is not far fetched as new research shows that half of Britons would definitely consider becoming vegan at some stage.
There are now 600,000 vegans in Britain alone and the number of people adopting the lifestyle has quadrupled in the past four years.
World Vegan Day on November 1 has spawned into a month-long awareness campaign and there is even an app to plot your vegan journey.
Dominika Piasecka, from The Vegan Society, believes social media and celebrity backing is helping spread the word.
She said: "When you logon to your social media account you are bound to see something about veganism at some point. Instagram, which is a picture based platform, has contributed hugely to the growth of vegan living. It's such a useful tool for sharing recipes and also for following people who are quite prominent within the vegan movement, such as vegan athletes, vegan chefs and businessmen. There are quite a lot of accounts like that.
"Obviously, the celebrity culture has helped as well. A lot of famous people are vegan like Lewis Hamilton, Miley Cyrus and Ariane Grande. A lot of their fans look up to them and they find out about veganism like that."
Harry Potter actress Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood in the movie franchise, is also a prominent member of the community and has backed World Vegan Month.
The actress, who is currently on Dancing With The Stars - the American version of Strictly, is also promoting the new VeGuide app, which helps people with their first 30 days as a vegan and how to stay vegan.
Evanna, explaining the app in a YouTube video, says: "VeGuide gives you everything you need to know about going vegan. Users will learn everything from how to deal with cheese cravings, to how to deal with comments from non vegans. All delivered through a series of short videos and quick burst quizzes. By the end of the 30 days you will be an expert in all things vegan and fully prepared to live a happy and compassionate life."
Vegan Society spokeswoman Dominika said the free to download VeGuide was launched on World Vegan Day and it has already had more than a thousand downloads. The app, which is also rated at 4.8 on Google Play, also offers recipes and advice about where to shop for vegan food.
Dominika, who has been a vegan for six years, said the range of food for vegans has increased hugely from when she started. She added: "The number of vegans has quadrupled over the last four years. With that and the rise of 'flexitarians' (a plant-based diet with the occasional addition of meat), all these people are driving this trend for buying and trying more vegan food.
"So restaurants are coming out with dedicated vegan menus and supermarkets are launching new products on an almost weekly basis."
She highlighted the recent launch of the Beyond Burger at Tesco. Dominika said the plant based patty aims to replicate the taste of meat quite closely.
Christmas menus are also on people's minds and there are plenty of vegan options to choose from too.
Dominika said: "So there is the good old nut roast for those who are not bored of it yet...In terms of a centrepiece there is also a vegan turkey roast available in Holland and Barrett. It's a type of flour you mix with spices. It has the consistency of meat, and then when you add the right spices it has the flavour of meat.
"There is also mushroom and chestnut wellington that can work. A lot of side dishes can be veganised, like Brussels sprouts without the bacon bits.
She added: "Those items are mainly aimed at people who do like the taste of meat but don't want to eat it because of the ethical and environmental implications. So maybe for someone who doesn't want to give up the taste of meat, they can still benefit from it but without the cruelty associated with it, by choosing this vegan option."
The Vegan Society says: "Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose."
One thing all vegans have in common is a plant-based diet avoiding all animal foods such as meat (including fish, shellfish and insects), dairy, eggs and honey - as well as products like leather and any tested on animals.
The Vegan Society was established in 1944.
It is the oldest such society in the world and is 74 years old.

The VeGuide app is fee to download on Google Play and the App store.
For the base: 250g/ 8 ½ oz vegan digestive biscuits; 100g/3 ½ oz vegan margarine; 1 tsp ground cinnamon. For the filling: 100g/ 3 ½ oz dried cranberries; Liquid for soaking (see method); 450g/1 lb unflavoured vegan cream cheese; 200g/7oz unflavoured vegan yoghurt; 1 tbsp cornflour; 2 tbsp golden syrup.
To decorate: holly leaves and fresh pomegranate kernels
Method: Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4. Grease the base and sides of a 23cm/9 inch, loose-based tart tin. Place the cranberries in a small bowl and cover with soaking liquid of your choice – perhaps vegan red wine or brandy, fruit juice or an alcohol-free fruit punch. Leave to soak for up to an hour until required.
For the base: Put the biscuits into a plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin until they resemble breadcrumbs. Melt the margarine in a saucepan, then take off the heat and stir in the biscuit crumbs and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly, then press the mixture into the base of the prepared tin and press down with the back of a spoon. Bake on a baking tray for 10 minutes.
For the filling: Put the vegan cream cheese, vegan yoghurt, cornflour and golden syrup into a large bowl and mix well. Drain the cranberries and gently stir into the mixture. Spoon the filling over the biscuit base, smooth it with the back of a spoon and return to the oven for 30-35 minutes until golden and just set. Allow to cool in the tin, then remove from tin onto a serving plate and chill until ready to serve. Decorate with holly leaves (not for eating!) and fresh pomegranate kernels.

The 39th season of Sesame Street will premiere on August 11, and Grammy award nominee Feist will be guest-starring. Here's a preview clip of her appearance, in which she performs a reworking of her hit "1234," to apply to counting monsters, penguins, and "chickens just back from the shore." (They're in sunglasses and straw hats.) It's super cute and sweet, but the Count was oddly absent.

Now that we have done a little house cleaning and put another load in the washer, it is time to get to the nitty gritty of creating what I like to call consolistates. And after pouring through my well thumbed Rand McNally map, referencing soon-to-be-tossed National Geographic magazines and studying word origins, I've targeted fifteen states that would make eligible candidates. In fact, a lot of these states have already begun this process on the local level. For example, if I were to ask a young resident in South Dakota:
ME: Where do you go to high school?
STUDENT: Wakonda-Irene-soon-to-add-Gayville-Volin
ME: That's a mouthful. What's your nickname?
STUDENT: Warrior Eagles who like to Raid!!!
I know these towns well for I lived in South Dakota. And while I was growing up, there was serious talk in the North Dakota legislature to drop the "North" from their state. I think the main reason was certain legislatures believed if they dropped the direction, people from other parts of the United States would no longer think North Dakota a cold tundra abutting Canada. I thought if they were going to make such a bold move, they should have invited their neighbor to join.
Maybe I'm partial but I think Dakota is a beautiful name. Did you know it means "friend" in Sioux? Merging the north and south of anything is a logical solution. But since times are tough and the open prairie is endless, I think we need to add one more state.
South and North Dakota + Montana = Monkota.
The state motto could be God and Tom Brokaw vacation here. And since we have the ball rolling, here are some easy consolistates.
Missouri + Iowa = Missowa
Florida + Georgia = Florgia
California + Oregon = Caligon
Now that we are halfway through the low hanging fruit I think it's important to state some rules. This isn't a random and willy-nilly process. In order for states to be considered for consolistation, they must:
- Share a common border.
- Have a similar geographical landscape.
- Must not currently be engaged in a civil war.
The above states meet these criteria. Recently, I drove through Iowa and Missouri and found the transition seamless. Most residents of Miami-Dade County already refer to the Florida panhandle as Southern Georgia. And you will not find a more beautiful ocean drive than the one that runs from northern California into Oregon.
To finish up the Sweet 15 are a pair of tri-states that not only would make great consolistates, but I think would become major players in national politics. First you have:
Ohio+ New Jersey + Pennsylvania
I think O'Jersylvania has the potential to be the key swing state when it comes to picking our next president. Neither red nor blue, every presidential candidate will have to campaign relentlessly in this region for I predict this new consolistate will correctly choose our next president until it doesn't. Or as the new saying will go, "As goes O'Jersylvania, so goes O'Nation."
But before we elect a president, we must select the nominees, which bring us to:
New Hampshire + Vermont + Maine
I think my favorite consolistate is New Vermaine. I feel so good about this one I think it should have exclusive rights to the presidential nomination process. The residents seem like independent, practical people who are not prone to extremes. I would trust their judgment in selecting candidates from either party. I think we should do away with Iowa, South Carolina and Florida and let New Vermaine have total control of the process. I also think it would be good for the candidates. Instead of jetting from state to state, subsisting on little sleep and cold hot dogs, they could rent a Winnebago and campaign during the day and grill out at night. I know the rest of the nation would appreciate it if New Vermaine took over this awesome responsibility.

Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank) is beautiful, smart, and married to the love of her life-a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry (Gerard Butler). So when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry. So it's a good thing he planned ahead. Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her grief but in rediscovering herself. The first message arrives on Holly's 30th birthday in the form of a cake and, to her utter shock, a tape recording from Gerry, who proceeds to order her to get out and "celebrate herself." In the weeks and months that follow, more letters from Gerry are delivered in surprising ways, each sending her on a new adventure and each signing off in the same way: P.S. I Love You. Holly's mother (Kathy Bates) and best friends, Sharon (Gina Gershon) and Denise (Lisa Kudrow), begin to worry that Gerry's letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, but, in fact, each letter is pushing her further into a new future. With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a touching, exciting and often hilarious journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into new beginning for life.(Synopsis From Warner Bros.)

Schroders Quickview: US jobs report reduces chance of imminent rate hike
Worse than expected US jobs numbers have pushed out expectations for the first Federal Reserve rate rise.
- US non-farm payrolls miss expectations
- US adds 142,000 jobs vs 201,000 forecast
- Unemployment rate remains at 5.1%
- Average hourly earnings flat
- Markets price in the prospect of a delayed rate rise
Downward jobs revisions a concern
There was no silver lining in today's non-farm payrolls report1.
The US economy added 142,000 jobs during the month of September, well below consensus expectations of for 201,000.
More worryingly, there were downward revisions to the prior two months' figures, implying that the recent momentum in the labour market has slowed dramatically.
Though the unemployment rate remained constant at 5.1%, this was largely a function of participants dropping out of the labour force.
Average hourly earnings growth was flat on the month, with inflation adjusted wages 2.2% higher than a year ago.
Interest rate expectations pushed out
This report certainly reduces the likelihood of a near-term rate hike by the Federal Reserve.
Market participants responded accordingly by pushing out the expected date of the first rate hike and the yield curve steepened.
Yields on 10-year Treasuries fell by approximately 10 bps, with the 10-year yield falling well below 2%.
Equity markets fell by about 1.5 % on the open following the release.
1. Non-farm payrolls are reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and are intended to represent the total number of paid U.S. workers of any business, excluding: general government employees, private household employees, employees of nonprofit organizations that provide assistance to individuals and farm employees.↩

Jim Dulley: Keeping fireplace smoke out of a room
Dear Jim: We had many trees taken down due to ash borers, so I plan to use my fireplace more this fall and winter. I have never had much luck building fires without smoking up the room. Do you have any tips?
— Ronnie H.
Answer: Unless you have an efficient fireplace with glass doors or live in a one-room house, use your fireplace primarily in the fall and spring. During very cold weather, the typical open masonry fireplace loses more heated air up the chimney than it produces to help heat your house.
Almost any fireplace will smoke a little until the chimney gets warm enough to create an upward draft. Burning a few crumpled newspapers first can adequately warm the chimney. Open a window slightly by the fireplace to reduce the possibility of a negative pressure. This also reduces the amount of already heated air drawn from the house and lost up the chimney.
The two most important factors in having a fire without smoke in the room are the quality of the firewood and the design of the fireplace.
Using well-seasoned wood with low moisture content produces a hot fire with a strong draft. Ash firewood can be difficult to start, but it burns well once going. It is good idea to also use some other softwoods to get the fire started.
Many fireplaces are designed to look good but do not always create a good air-flow pattern. The relationship of the dimensions (opening height/width, firebox depth, size of smoke shelf and flue) is critical.
It is not difficult to modify the opening size with decorative metal strips.
There really is no one best method to build a fire. If you ask 100 people, you will get 100 best methods, depending on their specific fireplace. In general though, two of the most common methods are the teepee and the English. These refer to the way you place the kindling and logs in the fireplace.
I have an efficient heat-circulating fireplace, so I use the teepee method and build the fire on the base of the firebox. This transfers more heat to the circulating room air.
First put some crumpled newspapers in the center. Using some wax/sawdust fire starters or small pieces of a fire log helps.
On top of the newspapers and optional fire starter, place a few long thin pieces of kindling in a teepee pattern. Next stack the logs around the kindling also in a teepee pattern. The hot burning gases and flames are channeled up through the logs, creating a super-hot, concentrated fire. Once it is burning well, place more logs in any fashion over the flames.
If you prefer to use a grate or andirons, the English method can be very effective. Put crumpled newspapers under the andirons or grate. Lay several seasoned logs horizontally across it. Place long piece of kindling perpendicular across the logs. Place another layer of logs on top of this.
No matter what method you use, have your chimney checked by a professional chimney sweep. It is inexpensive insurance to guard against a chimney fire, which can damage the chimney lining and possibly cause a house fire.
Dear Jim: There is white aluminum siding on my house. There appears to be a narrow gap between the siding and the flashing around the window.
Shouldn't this gap be caulked to stop air and water leakage?
— Dana S.
Answer: When siding is installed properly, this gap should not be caulked. Aluminum siding can expand a lot with temperature changes. This gap is required to handle this expansion without buckling the siding.
There should be caulking underneath where the flashing around the window frame is nailed before the siding was installed. This creates the seal.
Other openings without a flashing, such as electrical outlets and faucets can be caulked.

Code No: TMS137 Price: Rs1950/- Category: Industrial Safety
Health at work and healthy work environment are amongst the most valuable assets of individuals, communities and countries. In the light of rapid economic growth and industrial progress in our country, it becomes imperative that safety and health at the workplace be given its due importance. However, with stress being laid on quick profits, safety aspects are generally ignored. It is only with the increase in the number of people killed and injured at work that the significance of the problem has been realised.
The lackadaisical attitude of the Indian policy makers has made the situation even worse. The enforcement of legislative measures and their active implementation is also very poor. So the need arises to develop a proper infrastructural status in India for occupational health and safety.
It is only recently that there has been a shift in approach to the problems of occupational health and safety. Instead of investigating accidents after they have occurred, taking a high toll of human life, it is now felt that preventing the occurrence of industrial disasters and occupational diseases is a much better idea.
So to ensure a self-enforcing environment, where assurance of occupational health and safety is the norm rather than an afterthought, a positive, strong infrastructure has to be developed. This necessitates a reorientation not only in the minds of the employers and the government, but also in the attitudes of the employees and the general public. An integrated approach is to be adopted to have a healthy and hazard free industrial environment.
The areas covered under this study are as follows:
- Existing policies/directives for Industrial Occupational Health and Safety Management in India and abroad.
- The norms/directives as being followed in India and abroad.
- Existing infrastructural/institutional mechanism in the country and abroad.
- The socio-techno-economic aspects related to the subject.
- The compensation for the loss of life and injury as practiced in the country and abroad.
- Inherent class differences (based on the earning capacity of the individual) reflected in differential compensation being offered for the same injury.
- The issues related to organized and unorganized sectors. The sectors where the Industrial Occupational Health and Safety Acts do not apply.
- The workman compensation acts.
- The safety standards for machinery, plant and equipment etc. "Safe fail design" (Not fail-safe) aspect to minimize the industrial occupational health and safety hazards.
- Role being played by infrastructure and institutional mechanisms.
- Identification of factors to enhance the implementation and the impact of Industrial occupational health & safety management directives/ policies.
- At management level.
- At workman level.
- At institutional mechanism level
- The recommended action plan towards "Self-Enforcing Environment" identifying the agencies involved.
The study was undertaken in three phases:
i. A desk study of all available material on industrial safety and risk management covering the relevant areas, viz., legal, health, economic and labour, was carried out.
ii. A detailed study based on personal interviews and discussions was carried out. A seminar was conducted jointly by CDC and Chanakya Consultants Pvt. Ltd., which was well attended by the concerned authorities.
iii. Economic analysis and social evaluation of diverse aspects covering legal and social parameters were carried out. The aspirations of labor with expectations of management and requirements of the institutions were dovetailed.
Industrial Scenario
With the growth of industries in India, the number of occupational injuries and deaths have also increased. Introduction of hazardous machinery, toxic chemicals, high rise construction, unprotected machinery, poisoning and burns form manufacture of chemicals, etc., are the main cause of injuries and deaths in the Indian industries – both organised and unorganized sectors. The condition of occupational health and safety in the inorganised sector is more grim as compared to that in the organized sector.
The labour inspectorates are ill-equipped and do not have technically and professionally competent manpower for inspecting, reporting on prevailing work conditions in the industry and to monitor occupational health hazards.
Health Scenario
In India, occupational accidents, traditional physical ad ergonomic hazards and occupational diseases are important factors influencing the health of the industrial workers.
Diseases like byssinosis and pneumoconiosis are rampant among the industrial workers in India. Among other types of occupational diseases prevalent in India are diseases of the circulatory system, digestive system, urinary tracts, nervous system and sense organs (hearing loss, CNS effects), blood diseases, etc.
However, the present health for the Indian workers are not adequate enough to cope with the ever-increasing occupational diseases and health problems. The only health facilities offered specifically to the workers are the health centres under the Employees' State Insurance Scheme.
Indian Legislative Measures
A large number of labour legislations have been enacted for the promotion and protection of worker's welfare. The factories Act, 1948 and the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923, are specifically directed towards occupational health and safety matters.
The Factories Act aims at ensuring adequate safety measures and promoting the health and welfare of the workers employed in factories. The Workmen's Compensation Act makes the employer liable for providing compensation to his employees in case of occupational diseases or personal injuries and prescribes the manner in which his liability can be ascertained. The Act provides for cheaper and quicker mode of disposal of disputes relating to compensation through special proceedings.
The Employees' State Insurance Act provides for cash benefits and/or medical facilities to insured employees in case of sickness, maternity, disablement and death due to injury.
Despite all these statutes, the health and safety scenario in the Indian industry remains unsatisfactory. Workers in the unorganized sector are scarcely able to take advantage of the provisions under these acts.
The Social Aspects of Occupational Health and Safety
Variations in economic structure, social set-up, conditions of work, quality of the work environment all have an impact on the standard of occupational safety and health. As such the social aspects have been considered while assessing the health and safety status of the industrial workers. There are also special occupational settings and types of enterprises, economic activities and undertakings in which work and workplace deviate substantially from the norm. Major changes in social and economic systems result in weakening of the infrastructure for occupational health and safety.
The Legal Parameters
The basic policy guidelines for occupational safety and health are stated in the Constitution of India. Accordingly, a number of Acts have been enacted to ensure that all the workers are provided with a working place which is safe and healthy. However, due to overlapping jurisdiction and lack of uniformity in approach, the Acts enacted at various points of time and enforced by different agencies have created serious problems of implementation of theses Acts. Various industrial activities, especially in the unorganized sector do not have sufficient legislative coverage to protect safety and health of those employed therein.
The concept of occupational health and safety has not been accepted by the industrial workers and managements in India. Though there are various regulations present, most of these are, however, good on paper only, as neither workers, nor their representative unions, are fully aware to take advantage of these.
The Compensation Mode
Compensation to an injured worker in the form of cash benefits under the Workmen's Compensation Act. Under the Employees' State Insurance Act also compensation is in the form of cash benefits. The benefits covered by theses Acts are: Sickness Benefit, Maternity Benefit, Disablement Benefit, Dependents' Benefit, Funeral Expenses, Rehabilitation Allowance and Standard benefit. Compared to WCA, the ESI Act is the latest and has a wider coverage and is more exhaustive. It also provides for more compensation than what a workman would get under Workmen's Compensation Act.
The developed countries of the West have a better occupational safety and health infrastructure as compared to India. The institutional mechanism is much stronger thee with the enforcement agencies having wide-reaching powers.
USA has a well-developed infrastructure to monitor and coordinate occupational health and safety activity, the occupational safety and health Act (OSHA) of 1970 lays down in clear detail the rules to be followed for every aspect of occupational health and safety. Different occupation such as manufacturing, construction, long shoring, agriculture, law and medicine, charity and disaster relief, organized labour and private education are covered by this Act.
OSHA promulgates legally enforceable standards laying down the procedures to be followed. A special characterized of this act is the provision of free construction assistance to employers funded by OSHA.
The aim of workers' compensation in USA is to remove the entire burden of an employment-related injury or dearth from the individual worker and the worker's family and to impose it upon the employer- employers either have to contribute to a fund established by the state or have to purchase insurance to cover the risks.
Laws providing workers, compensation coverage do n9ot cover all types of injuries some occupational diseases, caused by years of exposure to hazardous substances. Are covered by federal and state industrial disease compensation laws, which are separate from workers' compensation . such as federal black lung benefits Acts of 1972. compensation is usually paid in the from of weekly or monthly payments.
German laws on occupational health and safety have been influenced greatly by international legal sources, for the federal Government with its concurrent legislative power is responsible for the national regulations on occupation safety and health . A number of technical measures have been laid down for the protection of safety and health.
The accident prevention regulations constitute an important part of the technical measures in the field of occupational safety and health. On the basis of the authorization in the Reich insurance code the accident prevention regulations are adopted by the accident by the accident insurance funds. The accident insurance of the competent industrial accident insurance institution is liable for personal injuries regardless of any fault on the employer's part as far these injuries have been caused been caused by an industrial accident as defined by the Reich insurance Code.
The Industrial Code provides the framework for defining employer's duties in the field of occupational safety and health. The first important approach to nationwide statutory regulations on occupational safety and health was the 1968 Act on Technical Equipment. The Chemicals Act of 1980 not only covers occupational safety and health but also includes environmental protection.
The uniform and comprehensive Act on Generic Engineering regulates the genetic engineering projects in research laboratories and in production facilities as well as the release of genetically manipulated organisms and their putting into circulation. The Explosives Act also includes occupational safety and health provisions.
In Canada, every province as well as the federal government has its own occupational health and safety (OH&S) legislation. There is also the Workplace Hazardous Material Information System which is a comprehensive plan for providing information on hazardous materials that are intended for use in workplaces.
The Federal Government has the responsibility for the health and safety of its own employees, federal corporations and workers in certain industries. Approximately 10% of the Canadian workforce falls under the OH&S jurisdiction of the Federal Government.
A principal underlying occupational health and safety legislation in each Canadian jurisdiction is the Internal Responsibility System-every worker is responsible for his own safety as well as for the safety of the co-workers. The formation of Joint Health and Safety Committees is an important aspect of the occupational health and safety infrastructure in Canada.
In Sweden the concept of working environment is defined more broadly than in most countries. The Work Environment Act, 1978, presents its objective and outlines systems, techniques and allocation of responsibilities for the working environment in general terms. The law is supplemented by detailed rules issued by the National board of Occupational Safety and Health in the form of ordinances and general advice.
The Swedish Working Life Fund provides grants to employers for the development of better working environment, reforms in work systems and rehabilitation of employees.
The Work Environment Fund aims at improving conditions a work by playing a leading role in financing research and development, as well as information and training. The National Institute of Occupational Health is Sweden's largest single research body in the working environment field. The Swedish Centre for Working Life also conducts research on workplace issues.
Under Swedish law, a person suffering from an injury at work receives compensation for loss of earnings and reimbursement of expenses, partly through statutory social insurance and partly through labour market insurance. The forms of social insurance primarily concerned with cases of injury at work are those provided by the National Insurance Act (AFL), the Work Injury Insurance Act (LAF) and the Labour Market No-fault Liability Insurance (TFA). TFA pays compensation to an injured worker regardless of who is to blame for the injury. Under TFA compensation is also paid for disfigurement and permanent disadvantage.
Better health and safety standard in the workplace comes as a byproduct of the industrial community's and the administration's enlightened efforts in regard to personnel and industrial relations. This in turn is influenced by various social, technical and economic factors.
The standard of infrastructure or rather the lack of infrastructure in countries like India influences the occupational health and safety standards. Poverty, alongwith illiteracy and powerlessness influence occupational injuries, It has been estimated that the losses to the national economy causes by all accidents may amount to 10-2-% of the Gross National product in some countries[5]. The importance of occupational diseases and accidents is also reflected in economic costs to the individual victim and family, to the medical care system and to the society.
Cost analysis is an important part of a comprehensive approach to occupational accident and disease control that also weighs ethical, social, political, and legal considerations. However, there are various limitations inherent in estimating the economic costs of injuries. While assessing the economic implications of health promotion at work, it is necessary to examine the nature of the costs incurred by health care for workers and by lost productivity and absenteeism due to illness or injury.
Socio-economic development, economic structure, level of technology, geography and climatic conditions, demography of the working population, and the degree of development of occupational health and safety policies and infrastructures all have their impact on the health and safety of the workers.
Numerous demographic changes can be noticed in the working population in India. The rising unemployment has had its impact on the health and safety standards of the workers. The increase in life expectancy has resulted in the growth of the older section of the workforce. With increasing female participation in the workforce, there is a growing need to address the specific occupational health and safety needs of the worm workers. Child labour is a serious problem in India and its effects on the health of children cannot be ignored. The importance of the unorganized sector in the industrial landscape of the country and its impact on occupational health and safety should not be underestimated.
Due to economic constraints, developing countries like India. Are sometimes compelled to use cheaper equipment and processes which do not meet minimum safety requirements. Technology and chemicals banned in the developed, exporting countries are exported to countries where stringent safety and health regulations either do not exist or are not enforced. The transfer of unshielded dangerous machinery and hazardous chemicals and substances have had an adverse effect on occupational diseases and accidents among workers in the recipient countries.
Frequently, the skills and training required for operating and maintaining imported technologies are not transferred with them. There are instances of the transfer of hazardous and obsolete technologies from industrialized countries to developing countries. Although various guidelines and conventions have been prepared by international organizations to prevent such hazardous transfer, they have not been effectively implemented.
The regulations and standards stipulating the minimum level of safety and health at work play an important part in improving working conditions since they apply to all workplaces and all employed persons. However, while designing safety standards the special needs of vulnerable groups like women worker, handicapped workers or older workers are rarely considered.
The survey carried out among the workers and managements of some industrial units helped in evaluating the occupational health and safety status prevalent in the country. Occupational health services especially in the unorganized sector are barely operative. Health and safety aspect takes a backseat in Indian industry.
The seminar helped in ascertaining the views of leading professionals, bureaucrats and academicians working in the field of industrial health and safety. Various factors responsible for low standards of safety in the country were identified.
Upgrading of the legislations and making the penalty provisions stringent was recommended. The importance of occupational medicine was recognized and stress was laid on maintenance of medical records. A comprehensive database on occupational accidents and diseases, insurance alms and compensations paid, and safety standard is also essential.
As far as increasing the awareness of workers and their representatives is concerned, a continuing and structures general workers education programme on occupational safety and health aspects needs to be developed.
Occupational health and safety is not limited in scope only to prevent and control specific occupational diseases. Worker's health and safety programmes should deal with the complete relationship between work and total health of man. However, the present occupational health and safety infrastructure in India has not been able to achieve theses objectives.
The Indian legislations fail to consider the numerous problems existing in India industry. The legislations fail to reflect the importance of attitudes, efficiency of the organizational system and the capacities or performance of working people. The present state of Indian industry does not provide any incentive to the employers/entrepreneurs to invest in safety measures. There is little awareness about safety aspects among the Indian trade unions. The small unorganized industrial units spread over the length and breadth of the country are not covered by any occupational health services.
To usher in a self-enforcing environment in industrial occupational health and safety, a high degree of planning, preparation and a strong will of the workers, managements and trade unions are needed.
Proper implementation of the relevant laws depends on the availability of information, organizational strength of the implementing body and the judiciary, knowledge of the cost of occupational health and safety measures. Coordination between the Ministries of Health, Environment and Industry and the enforcement agencies is necessary for effective utilization of the labour laws. Establishing safety standards, regulations, and emergency care procedures is also important.
Trade unions and workers' associations should strive to develop workers education programmes on occupational health and safety. Workers have to be educated on the importance of safety and prevention measures.
It is here that the health sector can help by launching a public campaign on occupational health and safety. Workers' associations should develop alliances with non-government voluntary agencies working on safety and health problems. In this way, facts regarding unsafe working conditions can be brought to their attention for education of the general public.
Research funding needs to be increased for studying accidents in the small-scale and unorganized industry sector. Both government and management should institute studies of options available to improve safety in the working environment. Occupational health services for people employed in small-scale industries need to be developed.
In view of the constraints on financial and human resources in our country, a self-enforcing environment on occupational safety and health should involve effective net working of the existing educational, research and information resources, programmes and institutions.
Empowerment of the community is an important aspect of a strategy for self-enforcing environment. For the unorganized sector, the community-based approach may be relevant by providing training, information and expert advisory support to the workers.
The awareness among politicians, the authorities, employers, workers and the general public of occupational health and safety issues need to be increased by using various ways to disseminate information. This would create a basis for strengthening political will to create the prerequisites for improvement if working conditions, and thereby workers' health. A system of participation and positive incentives can also help in ensuring the development of health ad safety at the work place.
To ensure improved standards of occupational health and safety and progress towards a self-enforcing environment, a multidimensional strategy needs to be adopted.
The first step is to assess the occupational health situation and develop a national manpower policy accordingly. This requires assessing the present demographic situation and health facilities and comparing it to the health needs of the working population. At the national level, recent data on occupational accidents and diseases and on recent successful experience is to be collected showing the feasibility of effective action.
Legislation on occupational safety and health has to be reviewed, in particular for defining the responsibilities of employers, the duties and rights of workers, and the role of inspectors for securing effective reporting of occupational accidents and diseases. Resources for action oriented training in risk assessment and control in priority industries and sectors has to be mobilized. Various promotional
Activities also are to be organized to raise awareness about safety at the workplace.
At the enterprise level a company safety policy should be established. Clear responsibilities for overseeing and implementing safety and health action at all levels of management should be assigned. Organization of a safety and health committee in each enterprises and at each work site should be made compulsory.
Institutions are to be "critical catalyst" in a safety and health and serve as the backbone to create a self-regulating safety culture. Cooperation of government agencies and safety and health advisory and training institutions is essential. In particular, the different ministries should closely coordinate with each other in extending occupational health services to all workplaces, with the active involvement of employers' and workers' organizations.
Awareness of the needs and objectives of occupational health and safety among the public at large, decision-makers, politicians, employers and workers is of utmost importance for successful implementation of these strategies. Finally, occupational health ad safety has to be recognized as a basic element of the principle of sustainable development.

How to Make a Garland with Punchcomments (24) December 8th, 2015
As a child, the official start of the holiday season began not with Thanksgiving (or, as today, Halloween), but rather with the annual rite of transforming piles of red and green construction paper-cut with an old-fashioned, hinge-armed paper cutter (not a safety rail or blade guard in view)-into 1-inch by 8-inch strips. Sometimes the cutting was done by a mindful teacher. More often than not, an arthritic wrist, or simple nonchalance left the cutting of such strips in the hands of one of us children. Although I had an aversion to sharp objects back then, just watching those strips accumulate was a foretaste of the anticipation and excitement that meant only one thing: Christmas was on its way.
My teacher would divvy up the strips of paper into brown paper bags. Each student would be given a bag of strips and dispatched home for the weekend to patiently glue each strip, end-to-end, into an interlocking chain. The resulting garlands were then to be brought back to class the following Monday, where a few favored students would have the pleasure of connecting all of the individual chains together into one, long, festive, red and green "super garland" that a much-put-upon teaching assistant would then be expected to hang-step stool at heel, yawning stapler in hand-across the ceiling of our classroom, from the bulletin board in front to its companion at the rear of the room and back again; criss-crossing above our desks until its length was exhausted.
It will likely surprise no one when I say that my garlands were always meticulously and uniformly glued (using one, carefully applied smudge of Elmer's classroom paste per strip) and that my strips never veered from the strict red-followed-by-green-followed-by-red formula. Most of my classmates, in keeping with the late '60s zeitgeist perhaps, seemed to prefer a more free-form (some might say, random) arrangement of colors (e.g., red, red, green, red, green, green, whatever), which meant I was usually able to pick out my alternating chain from amidst the jumble of holiday color that hung above our heads.
The pleasure of working with my classmates (albeit, classmates who "stubbornly refused" to see how alternating red and green was "clearly superior" to random arrangements of colors) to create something larger than any one of us had the skill or the will to create ourselves has, as an adult, found purchase in me still. I love collaborating with other creators and artists on projects. Each holiday season I like to do at least one craft project that requires the help and participation of my friends, family, nieces, and neighbors. It has to be easy, it has to be quick, and it has to yield something I can use as decoration.
This year I decided against attempting another popcorn and cranberry garland in favor of something utterly simply, a tiny bit tedious (sorry, but it's true), and wonderfully pretty: a simple chain of paper ringlets made with the aid of a few hole punches and a little patience. I expect to have enough garland to swaddle the 8-foot fir tree that will be living in my front parlor. In the meantime, I'm happy to offer here for your review, evidence of one afternoon's worth of cutting and gluing. Imagine, if you can, these few feet of interlocking chains many times longer and encircling an ornament-laden Tannenbaum. Happy tree trimming.
After you make this project, show off your work to other members!

I really like that tree you bought. I think I would decorate that poor thing too. And what you came up with is astounding!
That does look like you punched with a punch and you used card stock instead of paper. I do hope I'm right because that is the kind of tree I like. Where did you buy that tree at? I really want to buy a tree like you decorated. That is the best kind! Then I can make your garland and decorate my tree.

I have a roll of linen look, high end, wallpaper, that my BIL the wallpaper hanger, gave me. It feels and looks like fabric although it cuts like wallpaper. I wonder if it would work for this. I have been looking for something special to make from it.

One of my Fiskateer friends linked us all to your project. We love it and of course we love that you're using one of our favorite tools- a Squeeze Punch. However, now we're debating whether or not your scissors are Fiskars are not... can you put an end to the debate?
And for the record, I would be a red, green alternating traditionalist too.
