Displacement of the plume from Japan: IRSN strengthens environmental radiation monitoring, France’s Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN), March 19, 2011:
Watch the animation on the IRSN website here.
Compare that to the Chernobyl animation on the IRSN website here.
Since March 12, the plume resulting from discharges from nuclear reactor accident at the Fukushima moves, while thinner, air currents in the northern hemisphere. The IRSN has a model of this dispersion, in collaboration with Meteo France, which allows it to monitor and anticipate this shift. The first card was wide areas near Japan and the second card is the scale of the northern hemisphere as a whole.
According to this model, the plume was covered yesterday in most of North America and north-eastern Siberia. He is currently on the North Atlantic, and should reach the Territory of Saint Pierre and Miquelon and the Caribbean. It could reach mainland France, the 23 or March 24, 2011.
The expected concentrations of cesium 137 in the air over the territory swept by the plume are extremely low. This radionuclide is representative of radioactive material released long-distance during a nuclear accident.
These concentrations will be too low to be detected by the 170 beacons warning network Téléray IRSN, whose measurements are also available on the website of the IRSN.
IRSN agreed with the Environment Agency of the United States ( EPA ), which suggests that these concentrations will not affect health and the environment. In addition, they will be so small that they may probably be detected in the environment than by sample measurements performed in specialized laboratories.
The IRSN has such laboratories in France (and Tahiti, located in the southern hemisphere and therefore outside the main stream of the plume). The Institute will publish the test results when available, that is to say, several days after the passage of the plume. Regarding Saint Pierre and Miquelon or the West Indies, the results of data analyzed in the United States are considered representative of the situation in these territories.

Back in the summer of 2007 we puzzled over our first ever share of Wheat Berries. Grown as an experiment by Crooked Sky Farmer Frank Martin, the whole wheat grains that are the mother grain from which pasta, bread, and flour are derived, were unfamiliar to most of us. We mulled through recipes and exchanged ideas and cooking tips and many of us came to love the hearty, nutlike flavor and pleasantly chewy texture of the cooked wheat berries. We enjoyed getting the wheat berries in our shares for several years, until a combination of factors made it too difficult for Frank to continue grow the crop. Now, 15 years after they first appeared in our CSA shares, regionally adapted wheat varieties are making a comeback across the country and we wanted to reintroduce our members to the pleasures of this local food. We are excited to be working with Oatman Flats Ranch to source these once-widespread heritage wheats, like White Sonora, for our CSA shares. Oatman Flats Ranch is the largest organic wheat farmer in Arizona and one of the first large-scale Organic Regenerative wheat growers in the United States. They utilize organic and regenerative* farming practices to grow heritage and modern wheat and other crops; each selected to be flavorful, nutrient dense, and suitable for the desert climate.
Since wheat berries are a whole, unprocessed grain, they are a healthy alternative to white rice or pasta. They are relatively high in fiber, iron and protein plus contain a healthy amount of many vitamins and minerals. The Sonoran White wheat berries in our shares are a soft winter wheat, containing less gluten than hard wheat varieties. They have a a pleasant light wheat aroma with a delicate, creamy wheat flavor. With Tucson’s designation as a City of Gastronomy, this variety of wheat has become a bit of a celebrity in our region and can be found in tortillas, bread and beers across the city. Even so, finding recipes online for Sonoran White wheat berries can be tricky. We have a number of our favorite recipes in our archives and you can also try searching for ‘farro’ recipes instead of wheat berries. They are essentially the same thing but the term farro is used more often in cooking blogs, magazines and cookbooks.
*Regenerative agriculture is a conservation and rehabilitation approach to food and farming systems. It focuses on topsoil regeneration, increasing biodiversity, improving the water cycle, enhancing ecosystem services, supporting bio sequestration, increasing resilience to climate change, and strengthening the health and vitality of farm soil.

Herbs are the easiest edible plants to grow. Many are well suited for containers while others thrive as perennial plants in the garden bed. I find that I have no problems with animals and insects, probably because of the pungent oils in the leaves. Most of my herbs are for cooking and teas, but I also buy plants that I read about so often I just have to see what they are like (rue, for example). In order to remember what I have (or to inspire me to use them in meals), I keep a list on the inside of a kitchen cabinet. The photo is last year’s list; it is a computer file that I still have to update for this year. The notches are the plants that were large enough for me to take cuttings in April this year to bring to my garden club at the office. I was showing my colleagues the variety of perennial herbs that they could grow in the garden but this list also illustrates how early in the season you can harvest most perennial herbs.
On this particular list, the chives (put in eggs and butter), fennel (add to fish), hyssop (admire), lavender (cut flowers), lemon balm (put in fruit salad or make tea), oregano (pasta sauce), rosemary (potatoes, biscuits, chicken), rue (admire from a far), sage (biscuits and tea), salad burnet (green salad), winter savory (great winter interest plant), sweet marjoram (pasta sauce), and thyme (biscuits, chicken) are perennials. The basil (pasta, tomatoes and French bread), borage (beautiful blue flowers), cilantro (fried rice), dill (egg salad), lemon basil (fish), lemon verbena (tea), mints (tea and fruit salad), parsley (potatoes ), pineapple sage (tea and fruit salad), and Thai basil (fish) are treated as annuals in Virginia. The fennel and tarragon are coming back this year but were too small to cut in April. I think the neighborhood cats stole the catmint; I can’t find it. But no loss, it only opens up space to add my new Korean mint (because I read about it), tansy (to repel pests), and zinger hibiscus (also because I read about it but I think I will use for tea). I may still buy artemisia as it is the herb of the year and I hear that savory is the herb of the year for 2015 so I definitely will have to add summer savory to the list.
If you are interested in herbs make sure you visit the National Herb Garden at the U.S. National Arboretum or join the Potomac Unit of the Herb Society of America. Although you can easily buy herb plants and seeds at the major nurseries in this area (see tab above), two that specialize in herbs are DeBaggio’s Herb Farm & Nursery in Chantilly, VA; and Willow Oak Flower and Herb Farm in Severn, MD. The Herb Society of America also is a great resource and our public library systems have more than enough herb books for you to enjoy.

CPI Director Warns Excessive Regulatory Measures Hurting UK Paper Industry
"Given the trade imbalance that now exists in the Paper Industry, the UK should be seeking to encourage inward investment in papermaking. The current regulatory climate does not offer the sort of incentives that will attract investors." – David Workman, Director General, CPI.
Jan. 14, 2014 (Press Release) - In his New Year Briefing to Members of Parliament, Confederation of Paper Industries’ Director General, David Workman, highlights the impact of increasing direct and indirect costs and the ever-growing regulatory burden placed on UK Industry, by both UK and European Government.
CPI remains concerned that the future direction of both EU and UK policy on climate change, together with tighter environmental compliance measures, could well result in another period of significant decline. The last decline in the early 2000s saw half the UK’s paper mills close, with the loss of thousands of jobs and production fall by over one third.
According to CPI, the UK’s unique Carbon Price Floor (CPF) is the most worrying aspect of current government policy, being implemented at a time when the EU price of carbon remains very low. Coupled with the danger of losing its “at risk of carbon leakage” status, the UK Paper Industry faces a possible “double whammy” from which it may not recover.
The Briefing shows that many CPI Members are also being hit by the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) which, according to Mr Workman, now appears to simply be a revenue-raising exercise on behalf of the Treasury. Despite the government introduction of measures to partially exempt or compensate the industry from the most damaging aspects of climate change policy, UK industry remains exposed.
Mr. Workman states that governments of all political persuasions have failed to recognise several important factors, including:
- The cumulative cost impact of environmental, energy and climate change measures has been far greater than was ever envisaged which, in turn, has significantly dented our international competitiveness.
- The Paper Industry, along with most Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs), is now truly global and has to compete with parts of the world with much lower, or even non-existent, environmental compliance costs.
- For EIIs the efficient use of energy has been an overriding commercial imperative since the oil crisis of the 1970s.
- EIIs are essential players in the manufacturing supply chain. Without them other sectors would need to rely on imports, or move abroad themselves in order to secure supplies.
Mr. Workman was keen to highlight recent claims from Commissioner Tajani that “we face a systemic industrial massacre” as a result of the EU’s pursuit of unrealistic climate change goals, and emphasised the tremendous strides made by the Paper Industry in improving its environmental credentials:
- Collectively, the European Paper Industry is the largest forestry owner on the continent and has introduced systems to ensure that woodlands are sustainably managed. Twice as many trees are planted every year than is harvested. Resource is being invested in research to develop new and exciting markets for forest fibres.
- Over half of the paper made in Europe is produced using renewable energy sources.
- Recycling rates in the UK are now approaching 80%. Many UK mills only use recycled materials in the production process.
- Over the last 20 years the amount of energy required to make a tonne of paper has fallen by one third and carbon emissions by over 40%.
- Two thirds of paper produced in the UK comes from mills that have installed Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants.
The Briefing outlines that the Paper Industry was the first major sector to produce a 2050 Roadmap, titled “Unfold the Future”, and has brought together leading figures from academia, the scientific community, and industry experts to develop blue-sky breakthrough technologies aimed at overcoming the barriers to achieving 2050 carbon targets.
“It is a measure of how seriously the industry takes its environmental responsibilities that competitive hostilities were put aside as expertise from across the industry was pooled for the common good” stated Mr Workman.
The Briefing calls for action on a number of points, namely:
- More carrot and less stick in legislation and regulation. Fewer taxes and levies and more incentives.
- Full compensation or exemption from pass through costs from the energy sector.
- Recognition that industries such as paper need assistance in transitioning to a low carbon economy.
- Simplification of the plethora of highly complex initiatives currently before us.
- More emphasis on energy efficiency, because without it (especially in the domestic sector) we could find ourselves facing genuine energy shortages over the coming years.
- A rethink about the implications of attempting to meet our climate change targets if there is no global agreement in Paris in 2015.
- An assessment of the real efficiency performance of renewable energy sources. The Paper Industry is particularly concerned about the subsidised use of wood as a biomass fuel in large-scale energy-only power production.
- Reintroduction of incentives for small scale on-site industrial CHP. Increased capital allowances and complete exemption from all taxes and levies on input fuels and heat and power output.
- The immediate withdrawal of the CPF, or at the very least the scrapping of the escalator.
- The immediate withdrawal of the CRC.
- A drive towards a resource efficient economy.
In summary, Mr. Workman said “Given the trade imbalance that now exists in the Paper Industry, the UK should be seeking to encourage inward investment in papermaking. The current regulatory climate does not offer the sort of incentives that will attract investors. A new legislative and regulatory approach is needed — based less on complexity, taxes and levies, and more on incentives that encourage industries such as our own, to flourish and grow.”
CPI is the voice and face of the UK's Paper and Paper-Based Industries, representing recovered paper merchants, paper and board manufacturers and converters, corrugated packaging producers and tissue makers. CPI represents 70 Member Companies, with a combined annual turnover of £5 billion and 25,000 direct and more than 100,000 indirect employees. To learn more about CPI, please visit: www.paper.org.uk.

To format a
timedelta object in Python, you can use the
strftime method, which allows you to specify a format string for the output.
Here is an example of how to use
strftime to format a
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
from datetime import timedelta delta = timedelta(days=1, hours=2, minutes=3, seconds=4) # Output: "1 day, 2:03:04" formatted = delta.strftime('%d day, %H:%M:%S') print(formatted)
In this example,
%d represents the number of days,
%H represents the number of hours,
%M represents the number of minutes, and
%S represents the number of seconds. The
timedelta object is formatted as a string in the format "X days, Y:Z:A", where X is the number of days, Y is the number of hours, Z is the number of minutes, and A is the number of seconds.
You can find a complete list of format codes for use with
strftime in the Python documentation.


The Mayor of Naples has urged the ultras to isolate “criminals” after 13 AIK fans received minor stab wounds.
The city’s reputation took another hit on Thursday when 13 visiting Swedish supporters were attacked ahead of Napoli’s 4-0 Europa League win.
“These are not fans, they are criminals and that is how we must refer to them,” slammed Mayor De Magistris.
“I invite all the organised ultras groups to isolate them. Evidently these people think they can gain power and headlines by behaving this way.
“I am seeing a great team both in Serie A and Europe, but that is not enough. We must also grow as a city and as football fans.”
Meanwhile, Lazio could be investigated by UEFA over alleged racist chanting from some ultras during Thursday’s 0-0 draw away to Tottenham.

Assessment Audit Update - Karen Fabiszewski
Minutes - June 9, 2004
DIA Funding for Annual Survey of Occupational Injuries
Executive Director Update
Chairman Jones opened today's meeting by introducing the new labor representative appointed to the Council, Attorney John A. Pulgini, who will be representing the Labourers Union, Local 223. Mr. Burton reported that the Governor has also appointed Attorney Kenneth Paradis, to serve as a representative of the workers' compensation claimant's bar.
Senior Judge Daniel O'Shea updated Advisory Council Members on the information contained within the DIA's vital statistic report (see attached). Conference Queue: 2,088; Hearing Queue: 1,991; Reviewing Board Inventory: 133; Impartial Exams: 4,232 (131 waivers).
The Senior Judge explained that the number of conferences in the queue remains high compared to last year's figures. He stated that he expects the queue to decrease dramatically once the new judges are appointed to permanent positions (approximately August/September). The Senior Judge noted that the hearing queue has remained relatively stable throughout the reappointment process.
The Senior Judge stated that the judicial appointment process is nearly complete and that many of the appointees will be sworn in on July 22nd. He explained that the Governor's Council had recently approved Mark Horan (ALJ), David Sullivan (AJ), and Steven Rose (AJ) for positions on the Industrial Accident Board. He noted that the Governor's Council will soon be reviewing Alice Kokodis and Matthew Murphy.
The Senior Judge explained that of the twelve Judges seeking reappointment, only three did not make it past the Nominating Panel. He explained that these three Judges have been taken out of the queue and are currently wrapping up their cases.
Council Member Corcoran reminded all present that this problem should be an example of what can happen to the system without a two-year trial period for the judges. Mr. Corcoran reiterated his support for House Bill 4465 that would provide a vehicle for the Senior Judge to review judicial performance after the first 24 months.
The Senior Judge explained that House Bill 4465 was amended and engrossed by the Senate on July 13, 2004. He noted that the legislation was amended to subject Administrative Law Judges to the judicial performance review and staggered terms.
Chairman Jones mentioned that the State House News Service had run a story about the Governors Council questioning the Advisory Council's judicial rating system. The article stated that some councilors were questioning why the Advisory Council had rated a particular Judge as "qualified" for reappointment, whereas, a new candidate, who had never served on the IAB, was ranked as "highly qualified."
Council Member Banks explained that by comparing the ratings of new candidates to existing judges was like comparing 'apples to oranges.' He noted that it was impossible to make a comparison to someone who is in the system against someone trying to come into the system.
Council Member Corcoran added that the statute gives the Council only a limited choice of ratings: qualified, highly qualified, or unqualified. Mr. Corcoran noted that any changes to enhance the Council's rating system would have to be done legislatively.
Council Member Falcone suggested that the Council update their guidelines for reviewing the qualifications of judicial candidates by delineating between the two sets of candidates - reappointments and outside candidates. Council Members recommended that wording be drafted for the next Council meeting clarifying the differences.
Chairman Jones thanked the Senior Judge for his update.
Stop Work Orders/Caseload Statistics
Mr. Taupier updated Council Members on the Stop Work Order (SWO) and Caseload Statistics (see attached report). Total stop work orders issued: 22; total compliance investigations completed: 1,205; total fines collected: $19,589. For FY'04, the total SWO fines collected are $345,852. Mr. Taupier reminded Council Members that the figures the Advisory Council was receiving are not final numbers since the books do not close until August 31, 2004.
Mr. Taupier explained that the collection process has been tightened. The DIA is now collecting 90-95% of all fines. He explained that the use of credit cards appears to be helping, offering employers more flexibility. He explained that the DIA has enhanced their communication with employers. Under the old process, the employer would get a phone call within six months, now they get a phone call within two weeks.
Mr. Taupier continued his update of the monthly vital statistics. Total number of cases filed for June 2004: 1,531. Total number of cases filed for May 2003: 1,330. Total number of cases filed for fiscal year 2004: 16,394. A downward trend in cases filed continues. Total number of First Report's filed for June 2004: 3,230. Total number of First Report's filed in fiscal year 2004 (to date): 36,739. Total number of First Reports filed in fiscal year 2003: 36,641. Total number of First Reports filed on-line using the DIA's Information Portal on the Internet: 701.
Mr. Taupier explained that the injury rate is approximately the same, whereas, the number of cases filed has dropped. Mr. Taupier stated that a recent study by the WCRI points out that injured workers are returning to work faster and appear to be more satisfied with their medical treatment. Council Member Banks stated that he is convinced this trend has to do with the safety-conscious attitude seen by many employers. He noted that there is a huge effort towards providing safe workplaces since there is big money that can be saved when safety is considered.
Mr. Taupier continued with his update. Estimated uninsured claims (§65) filed for fiscal year 2004: 213. Uninsured claims paid by the Trust Fund for fiscal year 2004: $4,236,402. Total number of Section 65 claims filed for fiscal year 2003: 233. Total number of uninsured claims paid by the Trust Fund for fiscal year 2003: $3.78 million.
Mr. Tynan stated that the Trust Fund budget will be increasing from $4.0M to $6.0M to alleviate costs associated with seven quadriplegic cases in the system. Mr. Tynan noted that the medical expenses for each of the seven cases are very high and that most of the cases have been with the DIA for at least a year.
Council Member Banks questioned why the number of uninsured claims has remained consistent while their is a significant drop in the number of stop work orders issued.
Mr. Tynan explained that the number of uninsured claims decreased from 233 last year to 213 this year. The Director of Administration stated that the new investigations process is barely a year old and that the DIA is optimistic that further reductions will be seen in the future. He further stated that the Department's advertisement campaign will help add to future reductions in uninsured claims.
Council Members requested that the DIA investigate if any of the 213 uninsured companies have multiple claims against the Trust Fund.
Mr. Tynan stated that the DIA would conduct a review of the last few years and provide the Advisory Council with a list of companies that are multiple offenders.
Council Member Corcoran suggested that the DIA consider adding to their computer system a program that could capture all pertinent information about the payments of an injured employee. He noted that such a program could allow the DIA to review all expenses and evaluate the value of a case from the date of injury forward.
Mr. Taupier continued with the vital statistics for the Second Injury Fund. Number of §37/§37A petitions filed in fiscal year 2004: 365. Number of §37/§37A petitions paid in fiscal year 2004: 460 (including quarterly payments). The DIA expects the reimbursements for §37/37A to be close to $20 million and anticipates a carryover of $2 - $3 million. The amount paid on these claims in fiscal year 2004: $18,944,500. Number of §37/37A petitions filed in fiscal year 2003 (to date): 284. Number of §37/§37A petitions paid in fiscal year 2003: 257. The amount paid on these claims in fiscal year 2003: $19.8 million. Council Member Falcone asked why there was an upward trend of §37/37A cases.
Mr. Tynan explained that the upward trend could be attributed to several firms that are almost exclusively doing this type of work for insurance companies.
Chairman Jones questioned whether there was any documentation noting how many injured workers have been reemployed as a result of the second injury fund since that is the whole purpose for awarding benefits.
Council Member Corcoran stated that Council had been told by a previous administration that petitions had to be filed by a certain date and that no other claims would be accepted after the deadline.
Mr. Tynan explained that most of the increased activity is from the period 1986-1991, which are the mid-Act cases. The Director of Administration stated that the period that was closed is from 1991 onward (New-Act cases). However, he explained that the window is not closed for the cases between 1986 through 1991. He stated that 75% of the §37 claims received last year are from 1986-1991.
Mr. Taupier proceeded with the vital statistics. COLA reimbursements to insurers in FY'04 (to date): $19,131,527. COLA reimbursements to insurers in FY'03: $17,809,263.
Mr. Taupier anticipates this figure to reach approximately $20 million in FY'04. He explained that the DIA has budgeted $25 million for COLA reimbursements in FY'05 to adequately cover cost. Mr. Taupier added that the exposure to pre-1991 cases, seems to be what is driving the COLAs. He stated that the COLAs are tied to the Average Weekly Wage (AWW).
The total number of positions filled by full-time employees at the DIA (including the WCTF) as of June 2004: 288 (255 DIA employees, 33 WCTF employees). The DIA had one retirement last month and one new hire (manager of conciliation). The DIA has no contract employees at this time. Five temporary employees are being utilized within the DIA as of this report.
Assessment Audit Update
Chairman Jones introduced Karen Fabiszewski, Attorney for the Workers' Compensation Trust Fund. Chairman Jones requested that she brief the new Council Members on the Assessment Audit Project.
Attorney Fabiszewski explained that under §65 of the statue, the Workers' Compensation Trust Fund is funded by assessments that are calculated and collected by insurance companies and charged to insured employers as an additional amount on their policies.
She noted that the insurance companies are responsible for calculating and collecting the assessment from the insured employers and then remitting this money to the department to fund the Trust Fund. The assessment amount is based on a formula found in §65(4)(d) that is used to calculate exactly how much each insured employer owes per share. The money that comes into the Trust Fund is used for a variety of things, including to pay out for uninsured claims, §37 reimbursements, COLAs, latency claims, etc.
Attorney Fabiszewski explained that the project began in 1999 when the DIA hired two outside reviewing firms to inspect insurance company data encompassing a three-year period (1996, 1997, and 1998). She stated that the two reviewing firms examine a sample of the populations from that time period and run calculations to determine if the assessments billed and remitted to the department are accurate. After going through the entire process, based upon what they have found in the sample population, the reviewing firms will issue a preliminary report to the DIA which will extrapolate their findings to the entire population.
Attorney Fabiszewski explained that once a final report is issued, showing the amounts owed to the DIA, it is shared with the insurer accompanied with a letter requesting that they issue payment to the department. If the insurance company has questions of disagree with the findings, they are given the opportunity to provide additional information or challenge the findings.
Attorney Fabiszewski prepared a chart updating the remittance of assessments (see attached). Table 1 consists of three recently remitted assessments. Both Pacific and Great Northern had previously remitted additional amounts, as shown on table 2. The total amount collected to-date is $2,972,292.54 in assessments.
Council Member Banks inquired about the total cost to secure these funds. He suggested that a ratio be provided at the next meeting comparing what has been spent versus money received. Mr. Banks also asked the Director of Administration about the future of the project.
Mr. Tynan commented that he and Attorney White would be putting together a proposal for the Acting Commissioner to hire a person with an accounting background to work full-time with the auditing firms. Mr. Tynan explained that Attorney Fabiszewski has done a great job at handling the assessment audit on a part-time basis. Ultimately, Mr. Tynan would like to automate the entire process with the insurance companies. The Director of Administration stated that the original stage of the audit should be wrapping up at the end of the calendar year.
Council Member Banks suggested that the DIA research how other states secure their revenues (honor system, forms, computerized, etc.).
DIA FUNDING FOR ANNUAL SURVEY OF OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES
The Executive Director gave a brief history of the funding problems experienced by the Division of Occupational Safety. Mr. Burton noted that the legislature did not provide funding for the Annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses in the fiscal year 2005 budget. He stated that a subcommittee had met on June 21st and agreed that the survey was beneficial to employees, employers and to the Office of Safety at the DIA.
The Executive Director explained the subcommittee agreed to poll the voting members of the Advisory Council to see if there was an agreement amongst business and labor to support the use money from the Special Reserve Account to pay for costs associated with the survey. Mr. Burton stated that a phone poll was conducted and that the voting members agreed that this would be an appropriate use of DIA funds.
Chairman Jones requested Mr. Burton to draft a letter to the Governor's Chief Legal Counsel, Dan Winslow, requesting a legal opinion on whether the DIA has the authority to use funds from the Special Reserve Account.
Chairman Jones further commented that the survey may end up coming over to the DIA permanently, although no decision has been made to this point.
Chairman Jones asked for a motion to send a letter to Dan Winslow requesting a legal opinion on the DIA's authority to release funds from the Special Reserve Account established in M.G.L. c. 152. 152, §152, §65(4)(c).
Motion made to send the letter to Dan Winslow.
MMS - passed.
Chairman Jones asked for a motion to accept the Minutes for June 9, 2004.
Motion made to accept the Minutes for June 9, 2004.
MMS - passed.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR UPDATE
The Executive Director explained that there were two memorandums included in the Council's packets. Mr. Burton stated that the first memorandum was in regards to the fiscal year 2005 General Appropriations Act. He explained that the DIA's final budget was $86,938 less than the Governor's Recommendation (House 1) which was endorsed by the Advisory Council. He noted that this appropriation represents a 3.4% increase from last year's final appropriation. Mr. Burton stated that the line-item contains a provision allowing the Advisory Council to release sufficient funds from the Special Reserve Account "to pay for expenses to continue expansion of the conversion of the agency's computer system from unify to Oracle."
The Executive Director asked Mr. Tynan if he could provide a time frame when the department intended to present Phase III of the Oracle project to the Council.
Mr. Tynan stated that he could not give a definite time frame for Phase III because he is not entirely satisfied with the completion of Phase II. The Director of Administration stated that he has met with each department and put together an outline for Phase III.
Mr. Burton continued with his update. The Executive Director reviewed a memo dated July 14, 2004, referencing the Fiscal Year 2005 Assessment Rate. Mr. Burton stated that the private employer assessment rate has been calculated to be 4.913% (an increase of 35% from last year's assessment of 3.670%). He explained that the cost drivers appear to be §37s, COLAs, and §65s.
The Executive Director reminded Council Members that the September Advisory Council meeting will be held in Lawrence and will focus on Safety issues.
The Director of Administration reported on the agency's accounts receivables.
Stop Work Orders - Mr. Tynan explained that the previous audit report had identified several problems within the Stop Work Order System. One of the problems addressed was that the DIA needed a Revenue or Collections Manager. Mr. Tynan stated that the DIA acquired a temporary employee with a revenue and collections background in the fall of 2003. He noted that this person is now working at the DIA on a full-time basis.
Mr. Tynan assured the Council that the DIA is in good shape on the Stop Work Order side of the receivables issue. He explained that the DIA had to review accounts dating back to 1994 and has been able to identify those accounts that have the potential for collection. Mr. Tynan reported that of the 1,500 accounts that were open over the last ten years, they have written off all but 275 during the last six months.
Mr. Tynan reported that he does not expect to collect huge amounts of money from the open accounts. The Director of Administration stated that he anticipates only a 10% collection rate since the accounts date back to mid-1990s. He noted that they are in the process of taking legal action on some accounts, while others are remain with a collection agency. Mr. Tynan assured the Council that he could provide a number every month and track where they are.
Mr. Tynan explained that much of the problems in the past were created when grades were issued to investigators based on the number of Stop Work Orders they issued (not whether a Stop Work Order was viable). Under the new system, the DIA is placing more emphasis on the investigative process rather than focusing on the number of stop work orders issued.
Mr. Tynan stated that the during the Democratic National Convention, investigators will be attending training sessions at the Lawrence Training Center. The training sessions will focus on the proper techniques for conducting a thorough investigation.
Ms. Lenihan requested that Mr. Tynan provide the total amount that has been written-off for Stop Work Orders from the Comptroller's Office.
Workers Compensation Trust Fund - Mr. Tynan stated that they have hired an Accounts Receivables Manager to help reconcile the accounts in the Trust Fund. He explained that §65 receivables must be open for 20 years according to the statute. He estimates that there is somewhere between $75-$100M in accounts receivables. However, the Director of Administration noted that the DIA has made settlements on many of those accounts.
Mr. Tynan explained that this is a very difficult and more comprehensive project than determining receivables for Stop Work Orders. He noted that the DIA has had to separate the accounts that have settled and put them in different categories. In some case, they still pay out medicals even though they have settled an account. In those accounts they are not going to collect anything, so they are not considered a receivable. Mr. Tynan estimates that the whole process will take at least six months, possibly more. Chairman Jones suggested that when the DIA proceeds through this process, they examine whether any legislative changes could strengthen the process.
Vice-Chairman Byrne asked if the fines could be adjusted. Chairman Jones indicated that the Council had tried to increase the fines through the legislature. He noted that in Florida, a bill has just passed where the fine is a percentage of premium owed. Council Member Banks added that Florida has just conducted a sweep where a sampling of 80 out of 300 companies were found to have no insurance at all.
Mr. Tynan concluded by stating that $4.2M has been paid out in §65s just this year, whereas total spending for the DIA is around $75M. The Director of Administration reminded the Advisory Council to put the §65 spending in perspective, as it only represents about 6% of the total payouts for the year.
Chairman Jones adjourned today's meeting at 11:55 a.m.
The next regular meeting of the Advisory Council is scheduled for August 11, 2004 at 9:00 AM, Division of Industrial Accidents, 7th Floor Conference Room, at 600 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02111.

The web is full right now of great, inspirational stories of all the wonderful things Moms do. Trust me, I know. Having the privilege to be Joshua, John & Josiah's mom is truly a blessing I never thought I would have.
I can remember very clearly several Mother's Day's prior to their arrival. It was a dreaded experience. I hated the commercials, the cards, and especially the church service. I finally stopped attending church on Mother's Day because it was too painful.
You see, everyone else was celebrating having what I wanted so very badly, but couldn't have - for reasons only God knows.
And yes, I was eventually able to carry three healthy full term baby boys, but I still remember how it felt.
So would you join me in something that might be a little different for you this year? In the midst of celebrating all things Mom, take a moment and ask God to comfort those who are struggling with infertility, uncertain pregnancies or loss.
We may never know why we go through difficult times, but we can be certain that we have a God that is with us every step of the way.
Happy Mother's Day.

Texas has been declared a major disaster area after a brutal winter storm that left more than 50 dead and millions without power or clean drinking water across the South. The power companies in Texas’s deregulated electrical grid are under intense scrutiny over whether they neglected infrastructural upgrades and weather safeguards in the midst of a blame game over who is responsible for the billions of dollars in damages from what some expected would become the “largest insurance claim event in [Texas] history,” estimated at exceeding the $19 billion in claims from Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
The most recent Lunar Eclipse of 30 November 2020 located to Texas had Saturn on the IC conjunct Jupiter Pluto with Pluto square Mars – so was descriptive of freezing homes, deprivation and a mega-event. The first exact tr Saturn square tr Uranus which occurred last Wednesday was on the exact degree of the Uranus on the Lunar Eclipse chart. Often Eclipses trigger events when the planets return to their Eclipse position as in this case it did with Uranus boosted and/or jolted by Saturn.
The Texas Independence 2 March 1836 and joining the Union 29 December 1845 charts both have highly uncertain Saturn Neptune contacts on Solar Arcs as well as tr Neptune hard-aspecting respective catastrophe-prone midpoints. Both show a bounce-back in enthusiasm and confidence from the end of this month.
Senator Ted Cruz, 22 December 1970 birth time unverified, who infamously skipped off to the balmy shores of Cancun in Mexico in a family escape vacation and had to hastily return does look rattled in a minor way from late this month with a further disaster or two from mid year onwards. But he’s into a bullishly super-confident push in 2022/23 in his usual tone-deaf fashion. Water off a duck’s back.

CONCORD, Calif. (KGO) -- Officials said there was another close call involving a drone after it nearly collided in mid-air with a CHP helicopter over Highway 4 in Martinez on Saturday.
Now, authorities are searching for ways to crack down on drone operators.
Pilots across the Bay Area said drones are their newest flight hazard. "Control tower reported there was a drone flying around 800 feet, so that puts me within 200 feet of that other aircraft that's flying around me and that's pretty close," pilot instructor Jay Weyas said.
Weyas is a pilot and instructor at Buchanan Field Airport in Concord and said his close encounter happened just a few months ago.
The FAA expects nearly half a million new drones will be launched this holiday season as new gifts to amateur operators, so they're working with airports across the country like the San Francisco International Airport to roll out new public service announcements that will advise things such as: "Fly your drone below 400 feet. Avoid flying your drone near airports, stadiums and people."
The CHP pilots were able to track the drone operator to his home.
Martinez police contacted him on the ground, but didn't make an arrest or issue a citation because this falls under the FAA's jurisdiction. But it's not a federal police agency and instead issues fines.
Penalties aside, pilots just want drone operators to fly safely. They don't want to crash into a two-pound piece of plastic and tin. "It doesn't have to damage the helicopter other than the windshield. If you incapacitate the pilot, it's absolutely catastrophic," Ofc. Jim Andrews said.
Any time a drone flies over 400 feet, pilots say it's entering into their airspace.

Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an ancient medical system that takes a deep understanding of the laws and patterns of nature and applies them to the human body. TCM is not "New Age," nor is it a patchwork of different healing modalities. TCM is a complete medical system that has been practiced for more than five thousand years.
TCM includes a range of traditional medical practices originating in China, and has formed a unique system to diagnose and cure illness. Although well accepted in the mainstream of medical care throughout much of Asia, it is considered a complementary or alternative medical system in much of the western world. TCM practitioners are trained to view the body, mind, and spirit as one system, as opposed to Western medicine practitioners, who are taught to regard each of these elements as separate. Despite TCM's dramatically different approach, Westerners have been drawn to its practice because of its emphasis on healing the whole person and seeking the root cause of illness.
TCM practices include such treatments as herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary therapy and both Tui na and Shiatsu massage. TCM theory is extremely complex and originated through meticulous observation of nature, the cosmos and the human body. The underlying basis of TCM is that all of creation is born from the interdependence of two opposite principles, yin and yang. These two opposites are in constant motion, creating a fluctuating balance in the healthy body. Disease results when either yin or yang is in a state of prolonged excess or deficiency.

text: A pompous young academic (Byrne) rents a cottage on a dilapidated Irish estate in order to finish off his book on Isaac Newton. The days are hot, the grass is high, and the folks in the Big House soon prove a whole lot more interesting than Newton: drunken stumblebum husband (McCann), valiumed-up wife (Flanagan), and exceedingly playful niece (Walter). Scripted by novelist John Banville, Billington's film certainly looks engaging enough, but it gets increasingly bogged down in its own languor. Art and Life grapple rather solemnly, and the surface gloss only points up the lack of dramatic bite. Yet almost all reservations pale beside Harriet Walter's superb performance as the niece. Tender, understated, generous, this is film acting of a very high calibre, and makes the film well worth a spin.

I did interrupt the service one year, thought it would be more convenient to have the lawn mowing service take care of all the lawn needs, but the weeds returned. So, I went back to Fit Turf for the weed control. They do a great job.

While the Ages Roll On.
Kipling, like most prairie towns was established to serve the railway which was mandated to serve the pioneers as they settled the country building houses, businesses and most importantly, a community. In 1946 Roy Ransom established a GM dealership by the name of Ransom's Garage. He continued to serve the surrounding area until 1978 when Glen and Kay McMillan moved to Kipling from Humbolt and purchased the dealership changing the name to McMillan Motor Products.
When Glen and Kay began the facility consisted of 4 service
bays, a wash bay, a service department and 2 sales offices. Glen noticed that one of the services missing
that was needed by the farmers in the area was a place to get their grain
trucks serviced. In 1982 he added an
additional service bay that would provide the trained technicians a place where
they could work on these larger vehicles.
The business continued to grow and in 1989 Glen realized that the
facility needed to be expanded so another addition was added to the facility
which included 2 more offices and a much need room to house the computer
equipment that was becoming an integral operation.
In August of 1998, the dealership changed hands again as Glen sold the dealership to his Son-in-law Mark Olson. During this time, there were other businesses growing in the Kipling district and this along with other factors had an impact on the dealership as well. Serving the community has been at the forefront of this dealership since its inception and as growth continued, more changes were made to the facility to make it a comfortable place for customers to do business in. In 2001 the interior was given a maker over and in 2009 another office was added. At this time plans were made to build a brand new facility that would be able to serve the community.
On September29 , 2012 a ribbon cutting ceremony was held and the doors were opened for the community to come and tour the new facility which now included a 2 car showroom, 7 offices for management, sales and our finance department, a computer room, a reception area along with a customer lounge, a service drive through, a clothing and accessory store, a fully stocked parts room, a board room and a service bay that now has 10 stalls complete with all of the state of the art equipment required to service any vehicle you purchase from McMillan Motor Products . We are still able to utilize our previous facility for a detailing department which is able to take the dirtiest vehicle and make it look new.
While the ages have rolled on you can see that there have been many changes but most of them have been structural changes that were made in an effort to serve the community. Helpful, friendly, knowledgeable staff have always been at the core of McMillan Motor Products. If you have never had the opportunity to see our new facility and meet our staff, we invite you to come see us at 420 Railway St. . If you have been one of our faithful customers throughout the years, we thank you for being a part of our story.

2016 journal article
Modeling and simulation challenges pursued by the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL)
JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS, 313, 367–376.
The Consortium for the Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL), the first Energy Innovation Hub of the Department of Energy, was established in 2010 with the goal of providing modeling and simulation (M&S) capabilities that support and accelerate the improvement of nuclear energy's economic competitiveness and the reduction of spent nuclear fuel volume per unit energy, and all while assuring nuclear safety. To accomplish this requires advances in M&S capabilities in radiation transport, thermal-hydraulics, fuel performance and corrosion chemistry. To focus CASL's R&D, industry challenge problems have been defined, which equate with long standing issues of the nuclear power industry that M&S can assist in addressing. To date CASL has developed a multi-physics “core simulator” based upon pin-resolved radiation transport and subchannel (within fuel assembly) thermal-hydraulics, capitalizing on the capabilities of high performance computing. CASL's fuel performance M&S capability can also be optionally integrated into the core simulator, yielding a coupled multi-physics capability with untapped predictive potential. Material models have been developed to enhance predictive capabilities of fuel clad creep and growth, along with deeper understanding of zirconium alloy clad oxidation and hydrogen pickup. Understanding of corrosion chemistry (e.g., CRUD formation) has evolved at all scales: micro, meso and macro. CFD R&D has focused on improvement in closure models for subcooled boiling and bubbly flow, and the formulation of robust numerical solution algorithms. For multiphysics integration, several iterative acceleration methods have been assessed, illuminating areas where further research is needed. Finally, uncertainty quantification and data assimilation techniques, based upon sampling approaches, have been made more feasible for practicing nuclear engineers via R&D on dimensional reduction and biased sampling. Industry adoption of CASL's evolving M&S capabilities, which is in progress, will assist in addressing long-standing and future operational and safety challenges of the nuclear industry.

Religious Education & Sacramental Preparation:
The Religious Education program will meet every Sunday beginning September 12, 2021 through May 2022 from 10:45 A.M. until 12:45 P.M. in-person at Sacred Heart Church in the Education Building. Programs that will be available this year are:
Regular Religious Education program for all children in Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Preparation for the Sacrament of First Holy Communion (children 7 years or older).
The RCIA - Rite of Christian Initiation for Children (any child who is 7 years or older and has not been baptized).
Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation (teens 15 years or older).
Make sure to register your child since space will be limited per classroom. This will allow us to plan accordingly and assure your child is enrolled in the Sacramental program he/she needs for the 2021-2022 Formation Year.
The Religious Education Program helps all children know God in Christ as the fulfillment of their deepest desire. It provides religious & spiritual guidance, inspiration, and support in the children’s journey with Christ so that they may incorporate their faith in all aspects of their daily life. Three critical elements of our program and ministry are:
Enabling the experience of God.
Living in a Christian community.
Connecting our faith with our daily lives.
In doing so, the children will come to have a lasting relationship with God and not just know about God. In the Religious Education Program, we implement the Diocesan based Catholic Education Curriculum. It instills Christian values to our young believers. The program is designed for children and youth Pre-K through 12th grade. A core group of volunteers who serve as Catechists and Aides use the Christian values and sacramental teaching with the children to deepen their awareness of the Catholic Faith. These volunteers are dedicated and committed to assisting in the development of this relationship with God.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns feel free to contact Marissa Ayala, CRE.

UN nuclear inspectors have found uranium traces in an Iranian underground site refined to a somewhat higher level than the enrichment work normally done there, but still well below the weapons-grade threshold, diplomatic sources said on Friday.
One source said the higher level detected at the Fordow site - where Iran has declared it is refining uranium to a fissile concentration of 20 percent only - was believed to be between 20 and 30 percent, making clear this was not a big difference.
"It is not up there ... towards nuclear weapons capability," the diplomat said. It could simply be a production glitch, but the UN nuclear watchdog had asked Iran to clarify the issue, since the agency is tasked with ensuring member states do not "weaponise" the enrichment process.
Iran started enriching to 20 percent in 2010 and has since sharply expanded the work, saying the material will serve as fuel for a medical reactor. But a suspicious West is alarmed since such enhanced enrichment accomplishes much of the technical leap towards 90 percent - or weapons-grade - uranium.
Another diplomatic source said he had also heard of the find but it was unclear whether it would be included in an IAEA report due to be released to member states later on Friday. The IAEA regularly inspects Fordow and other Iranian nuclear sites.
"My understanding is that the IAEA had found a particle or had tested a sample that had uranium enriched at a higher rate than had been declared at that facility," the first source said of the find at Fordow.
Enriched uranium can be used to fuel power plants, which is Iran's stated purpose, or provide material for bombs, if refined to a much higher degree, which the West suspects may be Iran's ultimate goal. The Islamic Republic denies that.
U.S. proliferation expert David Albright said he believed it was a production error that caused the higher-enriched uranium trace at Fordow. "Nonetheless, (it is) embarrassing for Iran," Albright said by telephone from Washington.
He said the centrifuge cascades - interlinked networks of enrichment machines - at Fordow had 17 stages instead of 15 as in the old design.
"An effect is to overshoot 20 percent when 3.5 percent LEU (low-enriched uranium) is fed into the tandem cascades at the rate used for the 15-stage cascade," he said.
But, "this process of moving to 17 stages also reflects a reconfiguration of the cascades that can make (a nuclear weapons) breakout easier," Albright added.
