Quote: "How nuclear apologists mislead the world over radiation
by Helen Caldicott....
.."Soon after the Fukushima accident last month, I stated publicly that a
nuclear event of this size and catastrophic potential could present a
medical problem of very large dimensions. Events have proven this
observation to be true despite the nuclear industry's campaign about the
"minimal" health effects of so-called low-level radiation. That
billions of its dollars are at stake if the Fukushima event causes the
"nuclear renaissance" to slow down appears to be evident from the
industry's attacks on its critics, even in the face of an unresolved and
escalating disaster at the reactor complex at Fukushima.
Proponents of nuclear power – including George Monbiot, who has had a
mysterious road-to-Damascus conversion to its supposedly benign effects –
accuse me and others who call attention to the potential serious
medical consequences of the accident of "cherry-picking" data and
overstating the health effects of radiation from the radioactive fuel in
the destroyed reactors and their cooling pools. Yet by reassuring the
public that things aren't too bad, Monbiot and others at best misinform,
and at worst misrepresent or distort, the scientific evidence of the
harmful effects of radiation exposure – and they play a predictable
shoot-the-messenger game in the process.
1) Mr Monbiot, who is a journalist not a scientist, appears unaware of the difference between external and internal radiation
Let me educate him.
The former is what populations were exposed to when the atomic bombs
were detonated over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945; their profound and
on-going medical effects are well documented.
Internal radiation, on the other hand, emanates from radioactive
elements which enter the body by inhalation, ingestion, or skin
absorption. Hazardous radionuclides such as iodine-131, caesium 137, and
other isotopes currently being released in the sea and air around
Fukushima bio-concentrate at each step of various food chains (for
example into algae, crustaceans, small fish, bigger fish, then humans;
or soil, grass, cow's meat and milk, then humans).  After they enter
the body, these elements – called internal emitters – migrate to
specific organs such as the thyroid, liver, bone, and brain, where they
continuously irradiate small volumes of cells with high doses of alpha,
beta and/or gamma radiation, and over many years, can induce
uncontrolled cell replication – that is, cancer. Further, many of the
nuclides remain radioactive in the environment for generations, and
ultimately will cause increased incidences of cancer and genetic
diseases over time.
The grave effects of internal emitters are of the most profound concern
at Fukushima. It is inaccurate and misleading to use the term
"acceptable levels of external radiation" in assessing internal
radiation exposures. To do so, as Monbiot has done, is to propagate
inaccuracies and to mislead the public worldwide (not to mention other
journalists) who are seeking the truth about radiation's hazards.
2) Nuclear industry proponents often assert that low doses of radiation
(eg below 100mSV) produce no ill effects and are therefore safe. But ,
as the US National Academy of Sciences BEIR VII report has concluded, no
dose of radiation is safe, however small, including background
radiation; exposure is cumulative and adds to an individual's risk of
3) Now let's turn to Chernobyl. Various seemingly reputable groups have
issued differing reports on the morbidity and mortalities resulting from
the 1986 radiation catastrophe. The World Health Organisation (WHO) in
2005 issued a report attributing only 43 human deaths directly to the
Chernobyl disaster and estimating an additional 4,000 fatal cancers. In
contrast, the 2009 report, "Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe
for People and the Environment", published by the New York Academy of
Sciences, comes to a very different conclusion. The three scientist
authors – Alexey V Yablokov, Vassily B. Nesterenko, and Alexey V
Nesterenko – provide in its pages a translated synthesis and compilation
of hundreds of scientific articles on the effects of the Chernobyl
disaster that have appeared in Slavic language publications over the
past 20 years. They estimate the number of deaths attributable to the
Chernobyl meltdown at about 980,000.
Monbiot dismisses the report as worthless, but to do so – to ignore and
denigrate an entire body of literature, collectively hundreds of studies
that provide evidence of large and significant impacts on human health
and the environment – is arrogant and irresponsible. Scientists can and
should argue over such things, for example, as confidence intervals
around individual estimates (which signal the reliability of estimates),
but to consign out of hand the entire report into a metaphorical
dustbin is shameful.
Further, as Prof Dimitro Godzinsky, of the Ukranian National Academy of
Sciences, states in his introduction to the report: "Against this
background of such persuasive data some defenders of atomic energy look
specious as they deny the obvious negative effects of radiation upon
populations. In fact, their reactions include almost complete refusal to
fund medical and biological studies, even liquidating government bodies
that were in charge of the 'affairs of Chernobyl'. Under pressure from
the nuclear lobby, officials have also diverted scientific personnel
away from studying the problems caused by Chernobyl."
4) Monbiot expresses surprise that a UN-affiliated body such as WHOmight
be under the influence of the nuclear power industry, causing its
reporting on nuclear power matters to be biased. And yet that is
precisely the case.
In the early days of nuclear power, WHO issued forthright statements on
radiation risks such as its 1956 warning: "Genetic heritage is the most
precious property for human beings. It determines the lives of our
progeny, health and harmonious development of future generations. As
experts, we affirm that the health of future generations is threatened
by increasing development of the atomic industry and sources of
radiation … We also believe that new mutations that occur in humans are
harmful to them and their offspring."
After 1959, WHO made no more statements on health and radioactivity.
What happened? On 28 May 1959, at the 12th World Health Assembly, WHO
drew up an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA);
clause 12.40 of this agreement says: "Whenever either organisation [the
WHO or the IAEA] proposes to initiate a programme or activity on a
subject in which the other organisation has or may have a substantial
interest, the first party shall consult the other with a view to
adjusting the matter by mutual agreement." In other words, the WHO
grants the right of prior approval over any research it might undertake
or report on to the IAEA – a group that many people, including
journalists, think is a neutral watchdog, but which is, in fact, an
advocate for the nuclear power industry. The IAEA's founding papers
state: "The agency shall seek to accelerate and enlarge the contribution
of atomic energy to peace, health and prosperity through the world."
Monbiot appears ignorant about the WHO's subjugation to the IAEA, yet
this is widely known within the scientific radiation community. But it
is clearly not the only matter on which he is ignorant after his
apparent three-day perusal of the vast body of scientific information on
radiation and radioactivity. As we have seen, he and other nuclear
industry apologists sow confusion about radiation risks, and, in my
view, in much the same way that the tobacco industry did in previous
decades about the risks of smoking. Despite their claims, it is they,
not the "anti-nuclear movement" who are "misleading the world about the
impacts of radiation on human health."

Quote: "Japan's Nuclear Volcano Erupts By MIKE WHITNEY
Shares plunged across Europe, Asia and the United States on Tuesday as
the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant deepened and Japan’s
Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency raised its radiological event scale
to its highest level. Conditions at the stricken facility have steadily
deteriorated despite the valiant efforts of emergency workers. The
station continues to spew lethal amounts of radiation and other toxins
into the atmosphere and around the world. A French nuclear group has
warned that children and pregnant mothers should protect themselves from
the fallout. According to Euractiv:
"The risks associated with iodine-131 contamination in Europe are no
longer ‘negligible,’ according to CRIIRAD, a French research body on
radioactivity. The NGO is advising pregnant women and infants against
‘risky behavior,’ such as consuming fresh milk or vegetables with large
The group's warning underlines the dangers posed by the out-of-control
facility which is causing unprecedented damage to earth, sea and sky.
But while the disaster continues to grow larger by the day, the
government's only response has been to expand the evacuation zone and
try to shape news to minimize the public backlash.
Emergency crews have braved high levels of radiation to bring the plant
back under control, but with little success. A number of violent tremors
and a second smaller tsunami have made their jobs nearly impossible.
Thousands of gallons of radioactive water that was used as coolant has
been flushed into the sea threatening marine life and sensitive habitat.
The toxic release of radiation now poses an incalculable risk to the
battered fishing industry and to fish-stocks around the world. These
costs were never factored in when industry executives and politicians
decided to exploit an energy source that can cause cancer, pollute the
environment for millennia, and bring the world's third largest economy
to its knees.
Raising the alert-rating to its highest level is an admission that a
“major release of radioactive material with widespread health and
environmental effects" has taken place and will likely continue for some
time to come. The situation is getting worse by the day. Japan's
government will now insist on the "implementation of planned and
extended countermeasures.” In other words, a red alert. The threat to
water supplies, food sources, livestock and humans is grave and ongoing.
The media's efforts to protect the nuclear industry by downplaying the
scale of the catastrophe have been moderately successful, but public
awareness is rising as more people turn to alternate sources of
information. The disaster has been as ruinous to the media's reputation
as it has been to the environment.
This is from Reuters:
"Japan's economics minister warned on Tuesday that the economic damage
from last month's earthquake and tsunami is likely to be worse than
initially thought as power shortages will crimp factory output and
restrict supply chains.
“The more sober assessment came as Japan raised the severity of its
nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant to a level 7 from
5, putting it on par with the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986.
“The Bank of Japan governor said the economy was in a "severe state,"
while central bankers were uncertain when efforts to rebuild the
tsunami-ravaged northeast would boost growth, according to minutes from a
meeting held three days after a record earthquake struck Japan on March
11." ("Japan quake's economic impact worse than first feared", Reuters)
Foreign investors have yet to grasp the full impact of the crisis on
Japan's economy. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has increased its bond
purchasing program and "launched an ultra-cheap loan scheme for banks in
the area devastated by the quake", but monetary policy alone will not
lead to a recovery. The government will have to initiate large-scale
programs to engage the public while setting aside neoliberal policies
that slash state spending and privatize public assets. Restoring
economic well-being means strong leadership that moves forcefully in the
opposite direction of present trends with the emphasis on shared
sacrifice and community values.
This is from the Wall Street Journal:
“Fukushima Daiichi operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. warned Tuesday that
since the Fukushima Daiichi plant is still releasing radioactive
materials, the total level of radiation released could eventually exceed
that of Chernobyl, a spokesman said.
“The new assessment comes as Japan admits that the effects of the
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident—which has already caused the
evacuation of tens of thousands of people and spread radiation through
groundwater and farms over a broad section of eastern Japan—are likely
to be long-lasting and grave.....
“Japanese nuclear regulators determined that after the accident, the
plant has likely released tens of thousands of terabecquerels—or a
mind-boggling tens of thousands of trillions of becquerels—of radiation
in the immediate area. That's a level that's been recorded only during
the Chernobyl accident." ("Japanese Declare Crisis at Level of
Chernobyl", Wall Street Journal)
Experts anticipate that the troubles at Fukushima will persist for
months if not years. In the meantime, life-threatening levels of toxic
radioactive material will be released into the air, water and soil.
Small children and the unborn are at greatest risk, but incidents of
adult thyroid cancer and other maladies will increase exponentially as
well. The future of the nuclear industry has never been more uncertain,
and for good reason." Go to http://www.counterpunch.org/whitney04132011.html

levels and food safety in the region around the heavily damaged
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility, even as it has raised the
severity rating of the crisis to the highest possible level. "Radiation
is continuing to leak out of the reactors. The situation is not stable
at all," says Dr. Michio Kaku, professor of theoretical physics at the
City University of New York and the City College of New York. "The
slightest disturbance could set off a full-scale meltdown at three

Quote: "(NaturalNews) Before jumping
into today's essay here is the latest news: Radioactive levels at
Fukushima were about 250 times higher than a month before."..
"TEPCO said the levels of caesium-134 and -137 increased about 250-fold
and iodine-131 increased about 12 times compared with one month ago,
after the accident had already happened.
The water level in the No. 4 reactor's turbine building rose by 20
centimeters in 10 days. TEPCO has detected 8,100 becquerels of
caesium-137 and 7,800 becquerels of caesium-134 per cubic centimeter in
the water in the turbine building's basement. The utility company said
on Tuesday the 26th of April that the water level in the tunnel of the
No. 3 reactor rose by 10 centimeters over three days.
Beyond that door is death. It's death's door and it has brought us a new
hell on earth. What's behind this door and several others like it is so
hot, in terms of death, that its effects can be seen 10,000 miles away.
Though thanks to the media we almost forgot about this and other
similar doors and the nuclear meltdowns that are occurring right here
right now on planet earth.
Today you have to be a hound dog to sniff up any credible news about
what is actually going on at that destroyed nuclear plant. It's very
scary how the media has clamped down on most of the news so it seems
like multiple nuclear meltdowns are not a big deal.
On April 21 radiation levels stood at up to 110 microsieverts per hour
in the air in the town of Okuma in Tokyo, some 3 kilometers southwest of
that door you see above.
If a person is exposed to this quantity of radiation for about nine
hours, the cumulative dose is estimated to reach one millisieverts, the
annual safety limit set by the government. Do the math. In just 30 days a
person living there would have a lethal dose!
On Sunday, April 24, 2011 Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) disclosed
a map of radiation levels at the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
plant. Radiation levels around the No. 3 reactor building, which was
damaged by a powerful hydrogen explosion, are higher than in other
locations, and 300 millisieverts per hour of radiation was detected in
debris on a nearby mountainside. Stand near that and 30 hours later kiss
Work started on April 6th to remove contaminated rubble that had been
obstructing the restoration process. TEPCO says much of the debris
around the former office building has been removed, and it has started
clearing the rubble around the No. 3 and No. 4 reactors. Enough debris
has been removed to fill 50 containers, and it is being kept in a field
on the mountainside.
The radiation levels one meter away are 1 to 2 millisieverts per hour.
Gee, that would be a walk in the park, meaning we could hang around
endlessly until 20 days go by and then we too are radioactive toast.
Okay so let's translate that into a bit of practical reality for people
10,000 miles away on the east coast of the United States. We're getting
pretty far away from that damn door and yet its nuclear wretchedness is
reaching around the world just like Chernobyl did.
Radiation a Personal Account
"I am a retired biologist who used to work in radiation biology. Just
wanted to share with you what we've been doing lately. We live in the
mid-Atlantic area of the U.S. We have a Geiger counter and have been
testing daily for radiation (am and pm) since the Fukushima incident.
Since March 11, our numbers normally are 25-30 cpm inside and 31-35 cpm
outside (Geiger counter sits at an open window). This is within
background radiation numbers. When it rains, the numbers rise to about
35 cpm for inside and 40 cpm for outside. Our grass reads around 50 cpm.
I noticed today after I did some weeding (sunny day) and washing my
hands that they read around 50 cpm. I had to wash them 3-4 times before
the reading went down.
"Also noticed a couple of dandelions looking abnormal (their stems were
twice as thick as others and heads were joined). Never saw that before.
"We had ordered kelp granules from the company Maine Coast three weeks
ago. We typically use kelp in our foods, and this was a bigger order
than usual because of the nuclear incident. Just got the shipment today!
We tested the bags of kelp for radiation and they tested 182 cpm! We
called the company but they had their answering machine on, stating that
they won't be open until April 25th because they're doing inventory. We
plan to return the kelp! Noticed the expiration date is April 16, 2013,
which makes us wonder if they filled the order after the Fukushima
incident (maybe April 16, 2011?).
Life with Geiger counters will become much more common in our futures
as well as nuclear weather reports. They might as well have ripped a
hole into another universe with so much hell to be released each month
for as long as we can see into the future. Best-case scenario at this
point would be several years of relentless radiation buildup around the
world but most particularly in the northern hemisphere where it will be
increasingly difficult to get uncontaminated food. Let's not even think
of worst-case scenarios for not many of us will be around for long if
such were to occur.
Authorities will keep everything under their hat for as long as humanly
possible to avoid panic and migrations. With financial collapse on the
horizon, private citizens will not be able to afford any movement anyway
and will have to dig in and weather the radiation. With the help of the
media, the entire populations of the north are caught like deer in the
headlights and are totally unaware of and unprepared for this increasing
nuclear radiation. In case no one has informed you, radioactivity makes
it harder for our bodies to live.
Today's Nuclear News
The Number 4 spent fuel pool stores 1,535 fuel rods, the most at the
nuclear complex. TEPCO says it will inject 210 tons of water into the
pool on Monday, after finding on Sunday evening that the temperature in
the pool had risen to 81 degrees Celsius. The utility firm had earlier
limited the amount of water being injected into the pool to 70 tons a
day, saying the weight of the water could weaken the reactor building,
which was already damaged in last month's hydrogen explosion.
On Friday, TEPCO found that the pool's temperature had reached 91
degrees, so it began injecting 2 to 3 times the amount of water. TEPCO
says the pool's water temperature dropped to 66 degrees on Saturday
after water was injected, but started to rise again, to 81 degrees. The
operator says the water level in the pool was 2.5 meters lower than
normal after 165 tons of water was injected on Sunday.
But there is absolutely nothing to worry about! Doctors are not worried
that iodine deficiency will make you much more vulnerable to death rays
in the form of radioactive iodine, which your thyroid will mop up like a
sponge. But what do doctors or our friendly governments care?
"I have been trying to get a prescription for iodine from a medical
doctor, but I can't find one that will do it. They tell me BS like you
don't need it; it's dangerous to take supplemental iodine without a
battery of thyroid tests, and a bunch of other BS ad nauseum. I used to
be able to get it over the counter at a drugstore, but no longer. I need
to find an MD with common sense that will actually help me. David
Radiation Hell at the disused plutonium reactors at
Sellafield, England are a "slow motion Chernobyl" according
to Greenpeace campaigners against nuclear energy.
The BBC says, "There are about 440 operational reactors in 32 countries,
generating 16 percent of the world's electricity. Only 27 new reactors
are under construction, mainly in Eastern Europe and Asia. Not one of
the remaining 22 countries with nuclear power is currently building any
new reactors, including the USA, Canada and all of Western Europe. The
western world has put its nuclear power program on hold. This is
arguably due at least in part to the Chernobyl accident and the ensuing
perception that no matter how small the risk, it is just not worth it."

Quote: "It is important to know that
there is no such thing as a safe level of exposure. The scientific
consensus is that exposure to ionizing radiation at any level carries
some risk of harm.
Absolute claims that a certain exposure is not harmful to the
publicEare, to be blunt, incorrect. Actually, it is implying a value
judgment: that the levels of exposure (and doses) are not viewed as
significant enough to warrant concern. A judgment like this is often
based on two (related) beliefs: Low doses carry less chance of harm.
Higher doses carry more chance of harm. For those who like the technical
descriptions, this is referred to as the linear, no threshold model.
Exposure levels below regulatory standards are not dangerous to public
health. Regulatory standards are basically government determinations of
how much harm society is willing to tolerate from some sort of hazard
(i.e., exposure to toxins). Except in rare examples, regulatory
standards reflect complex trade-offs between the kinds of harms we want
to avoid (e.g., additional cancers in a population), economic costs, and
our values about what is important. In other words, assertions that
even a small level of radiation will not harm human health is really an
assertion that the levels will not cause intolerable levels of harm
among the public, even though there is a small risk. Furthermore,
arguments have been put forward that regulatory standards for radiation
exposures are not always protective enough.
The existing science suggests that the harm likely to occur in an exposed population
Another thing to realize is that most studies are about what happens to
groups of people, not to specific individuals. That is because there is
always some chance or randomness to what happens to a specific
individual that is exposed to ionizing radiation. The science that
informs much of our understanding of radiation effects on health is from
studies of survivors of the US nuclear bomb attacks on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki during World WarII. These like many other studies are often in
the form of epidemiological studies of low-dose radiation exposure.
The risk of harm, like cancer, is affected by a number of variables,
including how we are exposed, the form of ionizing radiation (alpha,
beta, gamma), the isotope, who we are, what we eat, and, of course,
where we are. For low doses, these studies are often inconclusive and it
is difficult or impossible to show links of causation with certainty.
Studies can be inconclusive when there is poor information about the
actual exposures or who was exposed (both problems tend to cause
underestimations of the real effect). Some commentators in the media
make claims that there were no increases in, say, leukemia after the
Chernobyl accident. This is also why some people claim that exposures
below 0.1 gray (10 rad) are safe (or 0.1 sieverts and 10 rem). That is
because the studies have not detected an increase of the disease in the
population. But, the truth is that the absence of an observed effect is
not proof of no effect. If it is a good study, it can be an indication
of a small overall effect. If it is a poorly designed study (e.g.,
exposure histories are now known, difficulties differentiating between
who was exposed and who not) then the meaning of the results are highly
How we are exposed matters. We can be exposed to an external source,
such as CT scans and cosmic radiation (gamma rays). We can also ingest
or inhale particles (alpha and beta particles). This is called an
internal source. When the source is inside of us, we receive a dose for
as long as it is in our body. It can also depend on whether we inhale or
ingest a radioactive particle, as the figures below suggest. For
example, inhaled particles are more likely to damage the lungs, as one
The form of ionizing radiation matters. Hopefully, this is clear from
what you just read. Alpha emitters transfer more energy to tissue than
gamma rays. In other words, they can cause more damage to cells, DNA,
etc., which in turn can lead to, for example, cancer. In addition,
isotopes with shorter half-lives are more likely to transfer their
energy when theyare absorbed in the body. This is one reason why there
is lots of attention to iodine-131, which has a half-life of 8 days. A
rule of thumb used is that environmental concentrations remain
potentially harmful until a period of 10 half-lives has passed; in the
case of iodine-131 this would be 80 days.
The isotope matters. Isotopes are really just variations on an element.
For example, there are different isotopes of iodine, and the body doesnt
care it will use any isotope of iodine when it needs iodine. That is
why in a nuclear accident people might take potassium-iodide they fill
the body's need for iodine with safeEisotopes and block out the use of
unsafe isotopes, like iodine-131. Most of the time, however, we cannot
easily block absorption of an isotope into our tissues. And, depending
on the location of the tissue and its need for different elements, it
might stay in our bodies for a long time. For example, the body treats
strontium like calcium, so it can accumulate in bones. Strontium-90 is
one of the elements released in nuclear accidents and explosions, and
when it decays it gives off beta radiation. It has a half-life of 29
years. Plutonium particles also accumulate preferentially in certain
tissues; this is illustrated by the figures, which show relative
concentrations in different tissues of adults and infants (more red
means more likely that plutonium will be incorporated into the tissue).
Who we are matters. Different individuals can be more or less sensitive
to the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. Rapidly growing or
dividing cells are most sensitive to radiation damage. For example, it
is well known that children are more sensitive to many types of
exposures, including radioactive iodine that can harm the thyroid. This
is also clearly demonstrated in the figures for plutonium exposure shown
here. Fetuses are at higher risk (early studies of the harmful effects
of ionizing radiation were about x-rays to pregnant women).
What we eat matters. Radioactive elements can accumulate in plants and
animal tissues, just as they do in human tissue. For example, cows can
eat grass contaminated by iodine-131, which can then be passed into
milk. People who drink fresh milk can receive higher doses than those
who drink commercially processed milk. The delay in getting milk to
market allows more decay to occur. There are also reports that spinach
and other food products in Japan have higher than normal concentrations
of radioactive isotopes.
Where we are matters. Exposures to background radiation vary by
elevation and location. But, more to the point here, exposures can vary
because of the way that radioactive materials are dispersed from a
source. If the radioactive materials are ejected high into the
atmosphere then they can travel far and wide because of winds (like the
jet stream). At lower altitudes, they might not be carried as far.
Fallout from Chernobyl was widespread throughout Europe because the fire
at the reactor ejected the plume high into the atmosphere. When steam
is released to relieve pressure in a reactor (like at Daiichi) the
radiation is not likely to be carried as far. This is the problem of
dispersion, and there are a lot of complexities. For example, fallout
from nuclear weapons tests in Nevada was generally higher closer to
Nevada. But a closer look reveals that “hot spots can be all over the
place in New York, Vermont, Tennessee, etc. as shown in the map of
iodine-131 deposition from US nuclear weapons tests. One of the factors
determining the location of a hot spot is where it rained at the same
time as the radioactive plume was passing overhead. This is true for all
fallout contaminants, including cesium-137.22
Based on all of this, the appropriate question is not are the levels
safe or not. The appropriate question to ask is: What is the risk of
harm to whom?" Go to http://www.psr.org/resources/health-risks-releases-radioactivity.pdf
Quote: "400,000,000,000 neutrons released per square meter surface of spent fuel pools between March 13-20
The team of atmospheric chemists at UCSD] calculated how much radiation must have been released.
“You know how much seawater they used, how far neutrons will penetrate
into the seawater and the size of the chloride ion. From that you can
calculate how many neutrons must have reacted with chlorine to make
radioactive sulfur,” said Antra Priyadarshi, a post-doctoral researcher
in Thiemens’ lab and first author of the paper. Gerardo Dominguez,
another member of Mark Thiemens’ research group, is also an author of
After accounting for losses along the way as the sulfate particles fell
into the ocean, decayed, or eddied away from the stream of air heading
toward California, the researchers calculated that 400 billion neutrons
were released per square meter surface of the cooling pools, between
March 13, when the seawater pumping operation began, and March 20, 2011.

Broncos GM John Elway speaks out against Racism
Broncos general manager John Elway released a statement Friday night on Twitter speaking out against racism, saying he will “fully support,” his players “using their platform and influence in a positive way to create change.”
ELWAYS FULL STATEMENT BELOW:
"I've spent the last week listening and learning from the players and coaches on our team.
"What I've heard from the players in particular—and watching the way they lead during this time of need—has been moving. I always thought that since I grew up in a locker room, I knew everything there was to know about understanding teammates from different backgrounds and walks of life. What I've realized is that I could not have been more wrong. Listening to the players and reading their social media, the strength they have shown and the experiences they have shared has been powerful. It has impacted me. I realize I have a long way to go, but I will keep listening and learning. That is the only way to grow. I truly believe a lot of good will come from the many difficult conversations that are taking place around our team, league and country.
"The way the players amplify the voices that need to be heard is more important than ever. I fully support them using their platform and influence in a positive way to create change. Recently, we've all heard people say that sports can be a much-needed distraction during such a challenging time. I know that the players, our team and league, can be so much more than that. We can all be part of the solution. I also understand that my voice needs to be part of this conversation, too. I am not going to stay on the sidelines. Everyone has a responsibility to help those who are hurting. I am joining with the players, coaches, and our organization in speaking up against racism, police brutality, and any injustice in the black community."
The Denver Broncos held a team meeting on Zoom earlier this week to discuss the events of the past few weeks and create an open dialogue about racial injustice.

The Southwest Washington housing market saw big surges in new listings and closed sales in July, rebounding from the pandemic-induced spring slowdown and arriving at an activity level that matched where things stood a year ago.
However, the new listing numbers still fell short of the amount needed to keep pace with sales, driving inventory levels down. That’s according to the latest report from the Regional Multiple Listing Service, released Wednesday.
July saw 1,174 new listings, according to the report, a 19.9 percent jump from the 979 listings in June, and a 1.2 percent increase over the 1,160 July listings from 2019.
Pending sales saw a 0.7 percent decrease, falling from 1,036 accepted offers in June to 1,029 in July — but the figure is still an 11.4 percent increase over the 924 July pending sales last year.
Closed sales saw the biggest jump, with the 939 closings representing a 29.7 percent increase over the 724 closings from June, and a 13 percent jump from the 831 reported in July 2019.
“The Clark County housing market is hot this summer, with historically low interest rates bringing out buyers,” J. Lennox Scott, chairman of John L. Scott Real Estate, wrote in a monthly report for the local market. “We are virtually sold out, and the number of homes going under contract is strong.”
The July results weren’t enough to completely erase the year-to-date impact of the early pandemic months; activity is still down compared with the first seven months of 2019, with new listings down 13.1 percent, pending sales down 1.8 percent and closed sales down 5.4 percent.
The gap for all three figures is closing, however — back in June, new listings were down 15.8 percent, pending sales were down 4.2 percent and closed sales were down 9.7 percent.
The region’s inventory in months, an estimate of how long it would take to sell through the existing supply on the market, fell from 1.6 in June to 1.2 in July. The figure has declined in each of the past three months and now stands at less than half of its April high point of 2.5.
The 1.6 figure in June was already equal to the lowest inventory level the region had seen in the past three years, according to Terry Wollam, managing broker at Windermere Stellar in Vancouver.
Home prices rose in July, with the average sale price climbing from $437,100 in June to $448,100 in July; the median price rose from $398,900 in June to $402,000 in July.
Scott’s report, based on the firm’s own data from its local office, offered a breakdown of home listings and sales by price category, which showed the highest activity — and the highest inventory shortages — in the lower half of the market range.
Homes priced up to $500,000 comprised 70 percent of local sales activity, Scott wrote. In the $250,000-300,000 price range, 91 percent of new listings had a pending sale in the first 30 days, and the report estimated only 0.5 months of standing inventory the price category.
In the $350,000-500,000 range, 83 percent of new listings had a pending sale in the first 30 days, and the report estimated 0.6 months of standing inventory in the price category.
Activity was also high for homes priced above $500,000, with an estimated 0.9 months of inventory in the $500,000-750,000 range and 1.5 months in the $750,000 to $1 million range.

Daily Music Guide: The Age Of Revolution
A 2009 review of "The Age Of Revolution" single from the Daily Music Guide.
Duckworth Lewis Method - Age Of Revolution
To say that the Duckworth Lewis Method have an interesting name and sound plays down the sheer force of nature of their first single. With a line up that includes Neil Hannon (of the Divine Comedy), the Duckworth Lewis Method is named after a complex mathematical question predicting cricket game outcomes.
‘Age Of Revolution’ is the first single of their eponymous album, and is released on the 28th June, with the album released on the 6th July. ‘Age Of Revolution’ has originality in spades. It’s four minutes of effortlessly performed pop, turning the current trend for sampling and ‘80s synthesisers on its head. The opening melody copies the sound of 1920s dancehall with its jazzy sounding trumpets.
With lyrics that discuss the universal right to play cricket, regardless of social class (“strolling to the Oval/we’re all going global’), and the wish for the English to be good at cricket again, the song comes across as an interesting mix of flapper music and present-day electronica.
Sometimes, one word can sum up a record more than a reviewer could and this song can easily be summed up as ‘jaunty’. However, hope remains that they can keep up this early promise in the future.

Pia Zadora`s recovery from a brief but disastrous career as a movie sex symbol has drawn praise from the press and respect from her peers. The petite singer, to much astonishment and delight, has revealed a voice that is winning fans.
One might think that Zadora would now be taking it a little easier and basking in the glow of good reviews. But Zadora is still touring, covering such durable pop standards as ''All of Me,'' and she has just completed an album of more contemporary material.
''I have a tremendous amount of energy,'' she says. ''I still go out of my way to do everything 100 percent, because you really have to in order to be happy with yourself. Sometimes I have to stop myself and say `Relax, you`re overdoing it.`
''But I have to take chances now. I can`t continue singing other peoples songs forever. I have to try to carve an image and get an identity for myself by singing original songs.''
Zadora`s two collections of pop favorites, ''Pia and Phil'' (''Phil''
being the London Philharmonic Orchestra) and her most recent ''I Am What I Am'' have, indeed, relied on familiar songs associated with Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra and other pop icons. Her new album, as yet untitled, could prod Zadora into favor with younger audiences.

While this might look like a portico off the coast of Lisbon (or maybe I’m just wishing it was), it’s actually a house in a small neighborhood about 45 minutes from me and walking distance from the largest financial district in Hong Kong.
If you’re going to visit Sheung Wan, you might as well bring your camera because you’ll want to take pictures of everything. It seems the HK Tourist Bureau is aware of this as that would explain the large number of tour buses that trammel through the tiny streets every hour, releasing curious tourists to scale hilly stairways in search of all the character Sheung Wan has to offer.
Stairs and humidity. My faves.
But it’s not just the historical sites that make this part of Hong Kong such an iconic staple amongst tourists. From a small altar at the end of a doorway to a “front yard” of Astro Turf, all contemporary details and traditional remnants in this neighborhood seem perfectly placed, as if part of some larger, more deliberate portrait. The funny thing is they’re not — everything is where it lays because it serves a larger purpose than being placed on someone’s photo blog. And yet, that’s what everybody seems to love about this hood.
Coming from the Central MTR stop, it’s next to impossible not to ingest some amount of car exhaust or completely avoid any physical contact with one of the 93 million people who walk past you on your way there. But it would be inaccurate to say all of Hong Kong is like this. No sooner than you were starting to feel a bit suffocated do you find yourself in the bucolic solace of this quirky, quiet area.
Unfortunately this particular WordPress template isn’t very conducive for displaying photos but I’ve included a good number here anyway and will eventually post the rest on my photo blog (link will be up soon!). All photos were taken on an iPhone so any shakiness can be directly attributed to the amount of walking and stair climbing that took place that day.
Man Mo Temple
Probably the most political piece in all of HK.
“Today is your last now what?”
650!!! I miss you.
It’s always fascinating to see what you can tell about a place by the buildings that occupy it. Sheung Wan is a good mix of old and new Hong Kong. It offers a representation of how varied Hong Kong’s architecture is, contrasting other areas like the Westernized federal edifices in Central, which hosts large European-columned and corniced buildings.
In some senses, there is a bric-a-brac feel to Hong Kong architecture. Not counting the ominously massive malls built in the past ten years, other neighborhoods look completely different than Sheung Wan while still managing to offer a layer of this SAR’s history: the Opium Wars, Japanese occupation, British colonization, more wars and post-modernism, and now, resuming its identity as China’s first “special administrative region”.
My interest in re-visiting the area came about after watching a short report Monocle had produced on Sheung Wan that highlighted a shop called Fungus Workshop. As it turned out, finding the workshop became way more difficult than I could have imagined — like trying to locate the 9-3/4 platform at King’s Cross Station as a muggle. For those unversed in Harry Potter speak, it’s virtually impossible.
The directions I had scribbled down along with my super crude hand-drawn map and the screenshot of Google Maps’ directions all had failed me (I have no wifi on my phone, just like the old days). So before the novelty of this little adventure completely wore off, I relented and started searching for a place to ask for directions. I passed this place twice before deciding, “Oh alright, I deserve a San Miguel.”
208 Ducuento Otto (Photo courtesy of LifestyleAsia)
If you come visit me, I will take you here (without getting lost). I had read that Sheung Wan is an emerging magnet for trendy restauranteers and shop owners (just around the corner is a Lomography Gallery Store — so essentially this entire neighborhood is hipster paradise too) and true to life, 208 is one of many chic eateries on Gough Street.
Being fully quenched, I set out again walking up about 500 more streets/hills/stairs and back down until finally — F I N A L L Y — I found it, wedged in between two other tiny streets that were smashed in between two medium sized streets that were no where near the main roads. It made me feel not so bad about getting lost and now I know Sheung Wan well enough to be a tour guide on one of those buses, or at the very least a tour guide on how to get to Fungus Workshop.
And all in all, it was completely worth it. The shop was beautiful, owned by two couples who craft their own leather goods and offer classes to anyone who wants to learn how to work with leather and make their own goods. Participants learn hand-stitch, lining, fastening and leather finishing, ending up with several small products like a small camera bag, handbag, coin purse, an organizer.
I hope if I end up staying here long enough, I can try my hand at a handmade leather class at Fungus. It makes me happy knowing that people make a living off their passions and those passions include returning to bespoke crafts. And that people seek out these places and keep them alive is a really wonderful thing as well. The class was packed for the size of the room with everyone thoroughly engrossed in their individual projects.
I get tired just thinking about all the walking and climbing stairs entailed with this trek but the amount of mobility you have to have to live here is slowly becoming a reality for me. And anyways, I’ve always thought the best way to get to know a place is by foot. That was a peek into one area of Hong Kong. More on the way! 🙂

Friesen, S., Jacobsen, M., Brown, B., Saar, C. & Hampshire, A. (2015). Focus on inquiry. A research study completed for Alberta Education, July 31, 2015. Available here.
Many teachers across Alberta are learning to develop instructional design, teaching, and assessment practices that are more closely aligned with contemporary research on how people learn. One of these learning-focused designs is discipline-based inquiry (Friesen & Scott, 2013).
This research was situated to gain an increased understanding of:
- How focused discipline-based inquiry teaching and learning impacts organizational change, teaching practices and student learning;
- How various professional learning strategies impact and translate into changed practices for classroom practice; and
- The impact of professional learning on student learning.

Senator JD Vance throws his support firmly behind Trump's presidential campaign
Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) dismissed Democrat hysteria about former president Donald Trump acting as a "dictator" and threw his full support behind Trump's presidential campaign.
Vance pointed out that the latest screeching about Trump conducting himself as a "dictator" is because Democrats "don't have much to run on."
During a Sunday interview with CNN's State of the Union, Vance explained, "The idea that Trump is going to be radically different than what he was four years ago is just preposterous. He was an effective, successful president. I think he will be an effective, successful president again; that's why I have endorsed him, and I think this desire to make the election all about the past is indicative of the fact that Democrats don't have much to run on — I think Republicans do."
These comments came in response to the Biden campaign seizing on a cheeky remark that Trump made about being a dictator "only on day one."
The Biden campaign immediately issued a statement saying, "Donald Trump has been telling us exactly what he will do if he’s reelected and tonight, he said he will be a dictator on day one. Americans should believe him."
Unfortunately for Biden, he has nothing to offer the American people that would make him more appealing than a supposed dictator. Biden has been a total failure of a president in sharp contrast to Trump's time in the White House.

Honorable Speaker of the National Assembly
We, the citizens of Pakistan, strongly demand opening up of the proceedings of the Parliamentary Committee on Electoral Reforms as well as of its Sub-Committee to ensure that the process of reforms is transparent, meaningful, realistic and reflective of popular aspirations.
The formation of the committee by your good office on the request of the Prime Minister in July 2014 was a step in the right direction but the way it is conducting its business is neither drawing public confidence nor ownership.
We believe elections act as the lynchpin in a democracy and any changes to the electoral system require public discourse and debate for a broader public ownership. Unless diverse social and political groups share at least a minimum common reforms agenda, any future changes in the laws will be subject to public questioning and censure, having implications on the legitimacy of elections as well as its results.
Equally important is an intense engagement of provinces and its assemblies in any reforms process in line with the spirit of the 18th Constitutional Amendment. Consultations with provinces will not only improve public confidence in the reforms process but also enhance their ownership among people and the federating units.
We, therefore, demand that :

Tumbler polishing machine are an easy and inexpensive way to polish gems. They are also popular for burnishing items like brass and jewellery. Tumbling is also used to mass-finish a variety of manufactured products. Tumbling machines come in two basic types: rotary and vibratory tumblers.
Vibratory Finishing vs Barrel Tumbling
The rotary tumbler is a simple machine that can polish brass and clean cartridges. It features a clear barrel and locking bar closure. It is an excellent option for small jewelry projects or studio projects. It is also easy to use and can be used for a wide range of projects. It has a speed control and ventilating system.
Tumbling systems are a great choice for finishing batches of parts. They are very effective at removing material from delicate parts. They can come in bench or massive tub style models. The tumbling action is produced by shaking the tub, which causes the parts to scrub against each other. The resulting abrasions are uniform and thorough, which make them ideal for finishing sensitive parts.
Tumbler polishing machines are also useful for cleaning smaller items. They can be used on small items such as keys, earrings, or even ring components. These machines are made of durable materials and are made to last a long time.

In an event focused on gun-violence prevention in February in Columbia, S.C., Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton appeared with mothers who have lost children to gun violence. (Melina Mara/The Washington Post)
The generation of African Americans pushing criminal-
justice issues and institutional racism to the forefront of the presidential election had little effect at the ballot box during this primary season, according to an analysis of exit polling across 25 states.
African Americans account for a larger share of Democratic primary voters this year than they did in 2008, but that is because of older black voters, not higher participation by younger black people.

RACINE — A man may owe his life to his dog, which alerted him to a fire in his home early Wednesday.
At 1:22 a.m. Wednesday, the Racine Fire Department was dispatched to the 1100 block of Saxony Drive for a house fire, according to a Racine Fire Department news release.
The adult male owner and lone occupant of the home called 911 to report the fire after he was alerted to it by his dog. Paramedics treated and transported the man to Ascension All Saints Hospital for injuries he sustained in the fire. He was later transported to Milwaukee Columbia St. Mary's Regional Burn Center for additional treatment.
The dog was transported to the Wisconsin Humane Society.
As firefighters battled the fire in the single-family home, the temperature was -16 degrees, with 15 mph wind, creating a wind chill of -43 degrees. Extra fire crews were called to the scene to allow crews to rotate due to the extreme cold weather. No firefighter injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire with an estimated damage of approximately $95,000 is under investigation.
The Racine Police Department and We Energies also responded to the scene.

President Biden on Thursday announced that Karine Jean-Pierre will replace Jen Psaki as White House press secretary — becoming the first black and first openly gay person to hold the position.
Jean-Pierre, 44, grew up in Queens and will replace Psaki on May 13 after working more than a year as a deputy press secretary.
The outgoing press secretary tearfully called her successor to the White House briefing room podium on Thursday evening, saying, “I just want to take the opportunity to celebrate and congratulate my friend, my colleague, my partner in truth Karine Jean-Pierre.”
Jean Pierre told reporters, “We were doing a lot of crying — and trying not to do it now. I’m still processing it because, as Jen said at the top, this is a historic moment and it’s not lost on me. I understand how important it is for so many people out there.”
She added, “I used to teach college students. I had the pleasure of doing that for about six, seven years. And they would ask me… ‘How did you get to where you got to?’ And I would say to them, and it took me a little bit of time to figure this part out, that I’m about to share with you, which is follow your passion. Follow what you believe in and just, you know, keep that focus, because that matters.”
Clearly the president believes in representation matters
Principal Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on making history as the first Black and openly gay women to give a press briefing at the White House in 30 years
Jean-Pierre was born in the French territory Martinique to Haitian parents. Her partner is CNN journalist Suzanne Malveaux.
Biden said in a statement, “Karine not only brings the experience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris administration on behalf of the American people.”
“Jill and I have known and respected Karine a long time and she will be a strong voice speaking for me and this administration,” Biden said.
Jean-Pierre is known for taking pains to maintain a pleasant demeanor in answering questions and for avoiding the snarky quips that fans of Psaki have dubbed “Psaki bombs” that ridicule reporters.
But Jean-Pierre also can give lengthy answers that do not directly address inquiries and has frustrated some reporters by beginning press gaggles on Air Force One as the plane prepares to land.
Psaki tweeted of Jean-Pierre: “She will be the first black woman and the first openly LGBTQ+ person to serve as the White House Press Secretary. Representation matters and she will give a voice to many, but also make many dream big about what is truly possible.”
Jean-Pierre is well-liked among reporters but it was unclear whether she would be taking over the top spokesperson job — leaving people guessing about Psaki’s likely successor until the decision was announced.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby and White House communications director Kate Bedingfield also were considered possible contenders for the post.
Biden also released a statement praising Psaki, who is expected to join MSNBC as a political pundit.
“Jen Psaki has set the standard for returning decency, respect and decorum to the White House Briefing Room,” Biden said.
“I want to say thank you to Jen for raising the bar, communicating directly and truthfully to the American people, and keeping her sense of humor while doing so. I thank Jen [for] her service to the country, and wish her the very best as she moves forward.”
Former president Donald Trump is facing blowback for an inflammatory online message attacking Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) that many viewed as a threat. “He has a DEATH WISH,” Trump posted late Friday on his Truth Social platform, … Continue reading Trump escalates attacks on McConnell with ‘DEATH WISH’ post

Holly Madison, a former Playboy model and television personality is expecting her first child, and has revealed she no-longer talks to some of her old co-stars.
Former Playboy model and television personality, Holly Madison, is expecting a baby girl in March, and seems unlikely to be asking former 'Girls Next Door' co-star Kendra Wilkinson for any help with the child, as they apparently don't speak anymore. Madison is planning to marry her current boyfriend Pasquale Rotella after the birth of their baby.

Wilkinson herself has a 3-year-old son, yet the 33-year-old Madison has revealed that she still talks to Bridget Marquardt, but not Wilkinson or Hugh Hefner. Madison explained that: ''Bridget and I are still friends, but I don't talk to anyone else. I moved on from the whole Playboy thing five years ago and really never looked back. I'm not one of those girls who goes back to all the parties and things.''
Madison also talked to pregnancy website 'TheBump.com' about her celebrity parental idol - Jennifer Garner. Madison plans to be a very 'hand's on' mother, and explained that: ''Truthfully, being pregnant is changing me as a person. Each day is part of this amazing journey that has completely shifted the focus of my life and made me revaluate my personal and professional goals. I want my daughter to be proud of me and look up to me. I think early on in my pregnancy I realised that to be the mom I want to be, I had to change my life, and that's what I'm doing."

She continued to say that: ''I want to work on projects that I feel passionate about and do things that are fun and challenging. I would love to do a live musical. I'm not interested in doing the same thing over and over or the fame and exposure that comes with it. When people keep doing that, they just end up doing the same dumb stuff again and again.''
