The last planetary safety report LSAG (for “Large-Hadron-Collider Safety Assessment Group”) of CERN’s stems from early 2008 but carries no date to look recent. This fraud is called CERNGATE in the literature.
Is there no way to alert a single institution or government to the danger thereby accepted by CERN?
CERNGATE can also be called CERNCORONA in spite of its being 50 times more dangerous.
Which institution on earth has the clout to withhold this scandal from the public and from Assange and Greta’s eyes?

Dear all,
Following the FDA guidance (attached file), safety of metabolites should be tested depending of its exposure at the steady state in human.
"Human metabolites that can raise a safety concern are those formed at greater than 10 percent of total drug-related exposure at steady state".
My concern is about the calculation of metabolic and total drug exposure. Should I use AUC0-24h ? AUClast ? AUCinf ? Should I consider the half-life of the analytes to choose the best AUC ?
Results can differ a lot depending on what kind of AUC I use.
Thank you for your help

It is a strange experience to have stumbled across the global c – the fact that the pre-1911 Einstein was right – as it is confirmed by quantum mechanics: “Objects downstairs are enlarged.”
This almost boringly simple insight entails that for 9 years in a row, CERN’s cosmic-record symmetric high-energy particle collisions are geocidal with non-small odds.
I have made the strange experience that
·         no one contradicts my published proof of planetary danger for 9 years
·         CERN responds visibly by being no longer able to renew its official planetary safety report LSAG (for “Large-Hadron-Collider Safety Assessment Group”) for 9 ½ years
Imagine yourself being in the situation to be able to save all life and no one objects in print for 9 years, but the offender continues in plain sunlight.
I by happenstance saw John Huston’s famous 1966 movie “The Bible” today for the first time. It was the last movie that my young son (almost 8) had watched on TV on the day of his deadly accident. He had asked me afterwards “would you also do everything that Good demands of you?” and I had answered “no.” He looked disappointed.
I see in this coincidence a hint: I should not stop reminding the world of c-global’s power to save everyone.
The blood of Jonas is my witness. John Huston is incredibly strong. Maybe a single reader will now be alerted to asking the CERN question: “Why not renew the official planetary safety report LSAG from 2008?”
I got no answer from CERN. Is it you who dares go public?

Thank you for your maximally fair question.
c-global is an anachronism -- a return to the pre-1911 gravitational view of Einstein.
This long outdated view happens to have been correct.
Two reasons for that:
FIRST, Einstein did not have quantum mechanics as of yet (it lay 20 years in the future). The latter theory implies that all masses downstairs are reduced by the gravitational redshift factor. (Ask any specialist: no one seems to know this fact, right?) Reason: All locally generated photons have less energy. Hence the atoms created out of them by quantum creation-annihilation are proportionally reduced in their mass.
Hence all atoms downstairs are linearly blown up by the gravitational redshift factor relative to above, via the Bohr radius formula of quantum mechanics.
SECOND, the equivalence principle of Einstein of 1907 says that (and explains why) the just seen size increased is optically masked relative to above. To see this requires looking very carefully down once more. Then the bottom, even though horizontal everywhere locally speaking, is everywhere locally slanted relative to the tip. For a horizontally progressing light front downstairs is doing so on a locally slanted course, relative to the tip. This is a corollary to Einstein's derivation of the gravitational redshift factor itself (by a constantly applying recession of the bottom relative to the tip).
This fact now implies the local slanting as a corollary to Einstein's local receding. It is new. It explains Einstein's own correctly seen fact that light is necessarily "creping" downstairs when watched from the tip.
Thus, the Einstein-creeping is caused by a slant of the horizontally propagating light front (ray) downstairs at every point, relative to the tip. Hence c is actually NOT reduced downstairs, as Einstein had reluctantly seen himself being forced to conclude -- in violation of the axiom assumed at the outset that the rocketship is entirely described by the laws of special relativity with its
by definition global c.
The just-mentioned non-sequitur, by the way, explains the so far unexplained historical fact that Einstein could not (at any rate did not) touch on the topic of gravitation for 3 1/2 years until mid 1911.
But in the absence of the mentioned fact from quantum mechanics, the ice on which Einstein was walking was too thin to allow him to add the above "relative slantedness argument" to his already large enough list of absolutely revolutionary ("absurd" according to the knowledge of the time as well as common sense) arguments.
Did I answer your question to some extent? Do I have to say more about the ramifications?
Thank you once more for your unprecedentedly fair question.

China Announced 21 Test Guidelines on Environmental Safety Assessment for Chemical Pesticides
Original Article from CIRS
On 10 October 2014, the Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection & Quarantine(AQSIQ)and the Standardization Administration of China(SAC)jointly held a press conference in Beijing, announcing the approval and release of the Test Guidelines on Environmental Safety Assessment for Chemical Pesticides (the Guidelines for short in the following contents) and other 32 key national standards. Institutes that are responsible for setting the Guidelines and other 3 standards attended the conference and introduced the background, contents, application, targets and significance of these documents to the media.
The Guidelines (Standard Number: GB/T 31270.1-2014 -- GB/T 31270.21-2014) was formulated by The Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals under the Ministry of Agriculture (ICAMA) in cooperation with Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and other 11 research and education institutions. The Guidelines will provide very important technical specifications for environmental test of pesticide registration.
Consisting of 21 parts including transformation in soil and honeybee acute toxicity test, the Guidelines adopts relevant OECD test guidelines in terms of the equivalence of basic principles and technical methods, and also incorporates a number of self-developed guidelines, such as "silkworm acute toxicity test" and "macro-crustacean toxicity test".
The Guidelines is mainly used to measure the parameters of environmental fate and eco-toxicity effects of chemical pesticides, in order to provide endpoint data on environmental safety assessment for pesticide regulation and new product research & development.
These test guidelines will take effect on 11 March 2015.It is believed that the release and implementation of the Guidelines will improve the technologies for pesticide environmental risk assessment, reduce the environmental effects of pesticides from the sources, protect ecosystems and advance the development of eco-friendly society in China.
The standard codes and the names of The Guidelines were summarized below:

I am planning to conduct FMEA study for some of the existing equipment/device.This device has several models, most of them have almost same design features. I wish to find out the weak parts/sub component of these device type by conducting the study.
Since number of different models of this device are available in the market, it is not possible to conduct study on all the models.
Whether it would be appropriate to conduct FMEA study on specific model and conclude the results for the whole species of the devices?
Relevant answer
Answer
As long as the different models are similar in functions, it is more efficient to maintain a single FMEA to cover them. Within the single FMEA, it is possible to denote some failure modes as specific only to Model X.  Or you could add an extra column to input which are the applicable equipment for each line item.

What is the strategy to be used for quantification of human actions for Probabilistic Safety Assessment when no data is available? Is expert opinion using questionnaire (with or without Delphi method) is correct approach. Is there any other suggestions. I am looking for data for headings of Event Tree for a process.  
Relevant answer
Answer
The Delphi technique is a widely used and accepted method for gathering expert data, to combine opinions on expected development time about a particular technology, as well as to discover what is actually known or not known about a specific topic.
In the field of radiation therapy services, an approach similar to the Delphi methodology is proposed in [1, 2]. In these papers the failure modes and human errors are initially conceived by members of the working group on an individual and independent basis (i.e. in “blind” mode), then are collectively revised during a dedicated plenary session to reach general consensus.
However, in my opinion, the following problems are not solved:
- It is usually difficult for the experts to provide advice for example in the risk data such as the occurrence probability (i.e. to give a precise answer );
- In a comparative study performed by different groups working on the same topic but in different company contexts, the investigators found only few overlap of failure modes and human errors that were identified.

Could you please help me with finding references regarding combination of probabilistic risk assessment studies with air pollution modelling?
For instance, probabilistic safety assessment conducted for ammonia pipeline combined with the results of dispersion modelling can be used to assess annual costs of losses caused by accident. I met such works regarding groundwater pollution (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304389413008005), however not so much regarding air pollution, or maybe I am wrong?
Thank you in advance.
