Employers are obligated to carry out risk assessments to collect all information on risks to health at a workplace. Protective gloves are needed to prevent injuries to the hands and to comply with the hazard prevention hierarchy. If all action in terms of "elimination, substitution, engineering controls" or "administrative controls" is incapable of reducing the risk to a sufficient degree, the worker must wear protective gloves.
There are many different types of protective gloves available on the European market as personal protective equipment (PPE) conforming to the PPE directive [1]. This article provides information on these different types of gloves and their fields of application. Information on the different categories (I, II, III) under the PPE Directive and the consequences for the gloves on the market are presented.
This information relates to the following typical occupations such as:
- Healthcare
- Catering
- Hairdressing
- Dentistry
- Printing
- Motor vehicle repair
- Construction.
European directives concerning protective gloves
There are two European Union directives concerning protective gloves as items of personal protective equipment (PPE). The first defines the responsibilities of the employer for the safe use of personal protective equipment Directive 89/656/EEC [2].The second directive comprises the rules for placing PPE on the European market Directive 89/686/EEC [1]. This Directive specifies two categories of PPE to cover "minimal" and "mortal" or "irreversible" risks. Directive 89/686/EEC divides PPE into three groups based on the type of risks they sufficiently address and lays down different certification procedures for individual groups of equipment. These are named in the Directive as "simple design", "complex design" and neither of these, the last being the third category. Whilst the Directive does not explicitly define these three groups as categories, it is common practice to use the terms category I, III and II respectively. The category I gloves manufacturer has to draw up a technical file and then is allowed to affix the "CE" label without the participation of a notified body. Category II and III gloves need to be tested by an accredited laboratory and certified by a notified body. Category III products have to pass Article 11 requirements [1]. The manufacturer of the gloves (in Category II and III) has the right to label his product with the "CE" label only if he has obtained the EC Type Test Certificate for his product in compliance with the named Directive. The certification is preceded by material, functional and design tests in specialised laboratories which usually conform to European standards.
EN 420:2003+A1:2009 Protective gloves [3]:
- Hand
Part of the body from the tip of the middle finger to the wrist.
- Glove
Personal protective equipment (PPE) that protects the hand or part of the hand from hazards. It can additionally cover part of the forearm and arm.
- Glove palm
Part of the glove that covers the palm of the hand, i.e. from the wrist to the base of the fingers.
- Glove back
Part of the glove that covers the back of the hand.
- Dexterity
Manipulative ability to perform a task.
- Hazard
Situation that can be the cause of any harm or damage to the health of the human body.
- Level of performance
Number that designates a particular category or range of performance by which the results of testing can be graded. The level of performance is determined by the result of the corresponding test as described in the specific standards (…). A high level number corresponds to a high level of performance. Levels of performance are based upon the results of laboratory tests, which do not necessarily reflect actual conditions in the workplace.
EN 374-1:2003 Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms [4]:
- Permeation
The chemical's passage through the material by diffusion. Permeation performance is expressed as the breakthrough time at a defined permeation rate.
- Penetration
Flow of the chemical through porous material, pin holes, etc.
- Degradation
Degradation is damage caused by changed properties of the glove material after contact with a chemical. Degradation may cause colour change, swelling, hardening, etc.
Skin diseases associated with a particular field of work are very common, and the hands are typically affected. These skin problems can be caused by the contact with substances in products such as hairdressing chemicals or chemicals used in dental work. It is important to find the right glove for these employees so that they can stay in their occupations. The cost of changing occupations is high. Many substances can penetrate the skin and are capable of causing diseases elsewhere in the body. While harmful substances and wet work are a major cause of skin disease, constantly working in uncomfortably hot or cold surroundings or excessively dry or wet conditions can also cause serious skin disorders. In addition, working in wet environments may cause skin problems like dermatitis, due to the occlusion of the skin of the hands [5]. It is also important to limit the time for wearing protective gloves, after which the user can take a break before putting on a fresh pair of gloves to resume work. The glove used by an individual has to be selected with care because the material can also cause skin problems in some cases. For example, natural rubber latex (NRL) proteins have the potential to cause asthma and dermatitis. More serious allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis, are also possible. The proteins naturally present in NRL cause allergies either through direct contact with the skin or by inhalation of powder from powdered latex gloves.
Different types of protective gloves (based on different hazards) including general requirements
When choosing protective gloves, it is important to ensure that the glove selected is appropriate for the work to be done and the materials to be handled.
General requirements
EN 420 [3] is the reference standard for the other specific standards for protective gloves. This standard defines the general requirements for protective gloves, e.g. design, sizes, innocuousness, cleaning, comfort, dexterity, marking and instructions for use of the gloves.
Innocuousness of the material
Protective gloves should not be harmful for the user, if put to normal use. The used materials should not affect the health of the user. Information on potential allergic substances should be provided by the manufacturer.
The pH of the glove materials should be greater than 3.5 and less than 9.5. Chromium-VI content shall be determined according to the test method specified in ISO 17075 [6]. Chromium-VI content in leather gloves shall be less than the detection limit for this method.
Natural rubber gloves shall meet the requirements stated in EN 455-3 [7] on extractable protein content. Other chemicals used in the production of protective gloves (e.g. dimethylformamide) may eventually prove to be harmful. For some of the discussed chemicals, there may be limit values in the European standards or in various European regulations.
All tests in the standards for protective gloves shall be performed on unused gloves if nothing else is specified. If cleaning is specified in the instructions for use, tests shall be done before and after cleaning and the performance level of each specific test shall not be affected negatively. It is worth noting that cleaning is a very complex issue, especially for chemical protective gloves. Usage and cleaning may have a major effect on the performance of the reused gloves.
Electrostatic properties
If required, the electrostatic properties shall be tested according to the test methods described in the relevant standard EN 1149-1 [8] or EN 1149-2 [9] or EN 1149-3 [10]. These standards have been developed for garments and unfortunately do not contain any specific requirements for protective gloves. However, the test result shall be reported in the information supplied by the manufacturer, accompanied by the information stated in 7.3.11. No pictogram is allowed to be used.
Currently in 2013 there is a new standard in preparation for defining the properties of protective gloves, with a specific test method and requirements for gloves. For example, the electrostatic properties of a protective glove should not be seen in isolation, but can be combined, for example, with chemical protection if the work is done in explosive atmospheres.
Glove sizes
There are six glove sizes (sizes 6 to 11) defined in the standard, which are presented in Table 1.
|Glove size
|Minimum length of glove in mm
|Hand size6
|Hand size7
|Hand size8
|Hand size9
|Hand size10
|Hand size11

Resistance of glove materials to water penetration
If the glove materials are resistant to water penetration, they should be tested with an appropriate test, such as:
- For leather gloves: 5.12 of EN 344-1:1992 [11] (time for penetration);
- Alternative test method, more appropriate for textile materials: EN 20811 [12] (pressure in Pascal).
These tests are not suitable for waterproof gloves, which are tested with a variety of test methods, e.g. EN 374-2 [13]].
Water vapour transmission and absorption
If possible, the protective gloves shall allow water vapour transmission. If required, the gloves shall have a water vapour transmission of at least 5 mg/(cm² × h).
The dexterity of a glove is determined with a practical test. The tester wearing the glove has to pick up special test pins with defined diameters (5 to 11 mm) .The level of performance is defined by the pin with the smallest diameter that can be lifted.
European standards for personal protective equipment (PPE) demonstrate its conformity to the basic health and safety requirements of the EC Personal Protective Equipment Directive. Only equipment meeting these requirements is eligible to carry a CE mark and be sold for use in the EC. Taking into account the wide range of activities carried out at different workplaces as well as the related hazards, gloves designed for protection should fulfil the specific requirements defined in the Directive 89/686/EEC and harmonised European standards.
Each protective glove shall be marked with the following information:
- Name of manufacturer or his authorised representative;
- Name of the glove (commercial name or code);
- Size;
- If necessary, date of obsolescence;
- Where the glove conforms to one or more specific European standards pictogram(s), appropriate standard(s), standard(s) and the levels of performance in the sequence as defined in the corresponding standard
- Information pictogram as information in the instructions for use.
Marking shall be visible, legible and indelible for the foreseeable useful life of the glove. No other confusing marking should be affixed. If it is not possible to mark the glove itself, the marking needs to be affixed to the packaging.
Each packaging enclosure that immediately contains the gloves shall be clearly marked with the following:
- Name and full address of manufacturer or his authorized representative;
- Name of the glove (commercial name or code);
- Size;
- If necessary, date of obsolescence;
- Where the glove conforms to one or more specific European standards pictogram(s), appropriate standard(s), standard(s) and the levels of performance in the sequence as defined in the corresponding standard;
- Information pictogram as information in the instructions for use;
- If applicable, "For minimal risks only".
Information supplied by the manufacturer
The following minimum information should be supplied with every protective glove. In addition, more information should be available on request:
- Name and full address of manufacturer or his authorised representative;
- Glove designation;
- Information on the available size range;
- Reference to the relevant specific European standard(s);
- Pictogram(s) indicating categories of hazard followed by the performance levels;
- A basic explanation to assist comprehension of the relevant performance levels, and indication of the standard(s) to which they refer;
- Instructions for use;
- Indication of the standard(s) to which they refer.
Protective gloves against mechanical risks
EN 388:2003 [14] specifies the requirements, test methods, marking and user information for protective gloves against mechanical risks. These risks are abrasion, blade cut, tear and puncture. Abrasion resistance, puncture resistance and tear resistance are classified into four (4) performance levels. Blade cut resistance is classified into five (5) performance levels. A glove to be certified as a glove against mechanical risks shall meet minimum one (1) level of these four (4) properties.
Figure 1: Pictogram with levels of performance indicating protection against mechanical risks
Source: EN 388:2003 [14]
Explanation of the numbers:
1. Number: Level of performance for abrasion resistance → 3
2. Number: Level of performance for blade cut resistance → 1
3. Number: Level of performance for tear resistance → 0
4. Number: Level of performance for puncture resistance → 0
"0" means that level 1 has not been achieved, while x indicates that the glove has not been tested for this property or the test method appears not to be suitable for the glove. The results of the tests do not directly correlate to the conditions in the workplace but are useful for a comparison of different types of gloves
Protective gloves against chemicals and microorganisms
EN 374 consists of three parts:
- Part 1: Terminology and performance requirements [4];
- Part 2: Determination of resistance to penetration [13];
- Part 3: Determination of resistance to permeation by chemicals [15].
The terms and definitions are laid down in Part 1 [4]. There are also the references to Part 2 [13] and Part 3 [15] in which the test methods for the resistance to penetration and permeation are described. The requirements and the levels of performance for these tests are also mentioned in Part 1 [14].
|Measured breakthrough time in min
|Permeation performance level
|> 10

In this case, the Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) is a statistical value for the number of the gloves with a hole in them in glove production. There are three different types of protective gloves in the EN 374-1 [4], which are marked as shown in Figure 2 to Figure 4.

The pictogram for protection against microorganisms can be combined with the beaker or Erlenmeyer flask symbols, but the beaker and Erlenmeyer flask symbols shall not be combined. Each glove conforming to EN 374-1 [4] must also fulfil the requirements of EN 420 [3]. Additionally, the levels of performance of EN 388 shall be given in the glove's instructions for use. This information gives the user information on the mechanical performance of the glove, because gloves used for building a house, for example, have to satisfy different requirements from those of working in a laboratory. Table 4 summarizes the tests for different types of gloves under EN 374-1 [4]:

lt should be emphasized that the test does not represent the conditions at the workplace, and the test results should only be used to compare materials.
The permeation test according to EN 374-3 [15] may be performed for any chemical (at the specific workplace, e.g. hair dye). For the EC Type examinations, the manufacturer usually requests the chemicals of the list (Table 5). Any user may ask the glove or chemical manufacturer for the estimated breakthrough time for each chemical. The breakthrough time given, which is tested according to special permeation standards, does not indicate the time of use with chemical contact. Measuring the breakthrough at a higher temperature (e.g. 33°C) may be more realistic. These times could be much lower than at 23°C (e.g. 64 min at 23°C, 16 min at 33°C).
The breakthrough times of mixtures of chemicals also differ from those of pure chemicals. It can be dangerous to refer solely to the breakthrough time of the main component of a mixture. A small amount of a substance that permeates very fast can change the breakthrough dramatically. For complex mixtures it is important to measure the permeation. Chemical protective gloves can be made of different materials, such as:
- Nitrile rubber (NBR),
- Polychloroprene (CR),
- Butyl rubber (IIR, IBR),
- Natural rubber (NR),
- fluororubber (FKM),
- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
Not so commonly used glove materials are:
- Hypalon®,
- Polyurethane (PUR),
- Polyvinyl alcohol.
Chemical protective gloves can also be manufactured from a combination of different materials or as multilayer laminates. No material provides protection from every chemical or product (physical risk).
Selection of gloves
Within the hierarchy of controls, elimination and engineering controls should have priority over the use of personal protective equipment, including the use of gloves. However, where it is not possible to achieve adequate control by other means alone, personal protective equipment including gloves should be used in combination with and in addition to other controls. Protective gloves tend to be less effective than other control measures but if avoiding contact is impracticable or is insufficient to protect employees, then gloves may be needed. When selecting protective gloves, the choice should be based on the work, the wearer and the environment he or she works in. The following five factors need to be considered:
1. Identify the substance handled
It is important that the substance being handled is known since the level of protection and the type of glove needed will depend on this.
2. Identify all other hazards for hands
Identify any other hazards present. For example, is there a risk of abrasion, cuts, puncture or high temperatures? There are chemical protective gloves that also provide protection against mechanical hazards (those marked EN 388) and thermal hazards (those marked EN 407).
3. Consider the type and duration of contact
- Will gloves be worn for a short time, intermittently or for long periods? Comfort is more important for longer wear. Generally, thicker, robust gloves offer greater protection than thinner gloves but thinner gloves offer better dexterity.
- Will contact be from occasional splashes or by total immersion? Short gloves are fine as protection against splashes. If the hands are immersed (and you can justify that this is unavoidable), choose a length greater than the depth of immersion.
4. Consider the user – size and comfort
- Gloves should fit the wearer. Tight gloves can make hands feel tired and lose their grip. Gloves that are too big can cause creasing; these can impair work and be uncomfortable. It can help to use sizing charts.
- Comfortable gloves are more likely to be worn. Involve employees in the selection process and give them a reasonable choice to pick from.
- Hands can sweat inside gloves, making them uncomfortable to wear. Getting staff to take glove breaks, removing gloves for a minute or so before hands get too hot and sweaty, can help to air the hands. You could also consider supplying separate cotton gloves to wear under protective gloves. These can improve comfort by absorbing sweat. They can be laundered and reused.
5. Consider the task
- Gloves should not hamper the task. If wet/oily objects are handled, choose gloves with a roughened/textured surface for a good grip. Select gloves that balance protection with dexterity. Ensure the gloves selected meet all standards required for the task, e.g. sterile gloves, food-grade gloves. Consider whether colour is important, e.g. to show up contamination.
Once the appropriate gloves for the task have been selected, employees must be trained and informed on how to use the gloves properly so as to protect themselves. The information provided should include when they should be replaced and, if they are reusable, how to rinse them before removal (if practicable) and how they should be stored.
Practical example: Chemical protective gloves for hairdressers
The first step for the correct selection of chemical protective gloves is a risk assessment. For the selection of the appropriate gloves, several factors must be considered. These include:
- resistance to permeation of the used products or hazardous substances;
- workplace conditions (e.g. various chemicals, splashes or full contact, temperature, mechanical stressing);
- state of health of the wearer (e.g. any allergies).
The user can obtain information on permeation performance in the instructions for use. Many manufacturers provide databases or lists on permeation resistance or breakthrough time. However, in none of these cases does the user obtain information for a specific workplace. Taking the specific example of gloves for hairdressers used when dyeing hair, the questions presented in Table 6 have to be considered.
|Most important risk?
|Cosmetic chemicals (allergies), look for permeation data
|Duration of task?
|Maximum 1 h
|Reusable or single use?
|Single use (coloured hair dye), no contamination when removing the glove
|Tactile sensitivity?
|High (thin glove)
Source: overview by the author
The answers to these questions will help the hairdresser to choose the appropriate glove material. The information gathered during the risk assessment process at any workplace can be supplied to the glove or chemical manufacturer so that he can recommend suitable gloves.
Reusability of chemical protective gloves
There are currently chemical protective gloves of different protection levels on the market. The type of protection depends on the work performed.
If high sensitivity and dexterity are needed, the user may use a thin disposable glove. It is important for users to know the permeation behaviour of the chemical used, because thin gloves do not have high breakthrough times against a wide range of chemicals. Thin gloves have to be changed more often than thicker gloves of the same material. Thin gloves are intended for single use only (often mentioned on the packaging) and must never be reused. Medical gloves are not usually chemically protective, unless they are also certified as chemical protective gloves. There is a document from the European Commission [16] interpreting the situation that a glove may be an item of PPE and a medical device at the same time. In such cases, the glove has to fulfil the requirements of both directives, i.e. the revised Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices [17], and Directive 89/686/EEC on PPE.
"Reusable" chemical protective gloves are often thicker gloves with a higher chemical and mechanical resistance. Tasks requiring high sensitivity may not then be performable. However, with this kind of glove it is difficult to decide whether it can be reused. Re-use depends on the type of chemicals. If a highly volatile chemical is used, the gloves may be dried at ambient temperature. After contact with a non-volatile chemical, decontamination may be difficult. For example, some acids have a high degrading potential: When obvious degradation occurs, these gloves should never be reused.
How to remove a chemical protective glove
- If a chemical protective glove is to be reused, it has to be cleaned, removed and dried as follows [18]: Clean gloves before taking them off:
- When working with solvents, wipe with dry cloth.
- When working with acids or alkali-containing products, rinse protective gloves under the tap and dry with a clean cloth.
- Take gloves off without touching the outer surface with the bare hands.
- When taking off contaminated gloves, avoid touching the exterior surface of the gloves with bare hands.
- Clean gloves only in accordance with the manufacturer's care instructions, store and use again if possible.
- Before reuse, let gloves dry.
- Reuse only defect-free protective gloves:
- Gloves must not exhibit any peeling, flaking, fissures or holes.
- Gloves must not be discoloured or brittle.
- Contaminated gloves must be disposed of properly.
- Observe the manufacturer's information as well as the local disposal regulations.

Persuade Others with a Skillful Use of Push and Pull Arguments
When you need to persuade others to your point of view, you will succeed if you use a combination of both push and pull arguments. Push arguments are those that use reasoning, logic, and force. They literally push people into agreement through the weight of your case. Pull arguments are those that bring people to your point of view because they meet their needs. They literally pull people nearer your position because they see something in it for them. When these two are used skilfully together, it's hard for anyone to resist you... more

He served as governor until 1869, during which time he was closely identified with numerous educational reforms, including the establishment of Cornell University. He served one term in the U.S. Senate, 1869-75. During his career, Fenton built up one of the most powerful political machines in New York history, and was considered the most able political organizer since Van Buren.

As long as the issue of Members of Parliament and their relationship with Section 44 of the Australian Constitution continues to bubble along in the background of Australian politics, there will continue to be questions about its fitness for purpose. If Section 44 is found to be unfit for purpose, then to change it will require a referendum and the normal rules of having a majority of votes in a majority of states will apply.
So then, let's ask the question. Is Section 44 fit for purpose?
In the 1890s when the Constitution was still being drawn up, I suspect that the idea of what citizenship actually was, was mostly different. When Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, South Africans and Indians were asked nicely and then sent to Europe to fight in the protracted and bloody conflict which very quickly became known as The Great War, they were done so on the presumption that they were all British subjects. In fact, the idea that there even was a seperate Australian citizenship which wasn't even solidified at law until after the war to end all wars spawned another war and it happened all over again.
This means that we have to go back and look at what the framers of the Constitution were thinking.
The whole idea of the nation state kind came together after yet another round of European wars in 1848 and countries kind of coalesced together, on the basis of shared language and culture. Germany was still a bunch of independent states when they fought the French in 1870 but they'd more or less come together by the time that Franz Ferdinand decided to take a morning drive in Sarajevo.
By the 1890s we had a pretty good idea of who wasn't us, and if you'd said that a British subject from Toronto or Leeds had an allegiance to a foreign power when the Constitution Of Australia Act was passed in 1900, you might have found yourself in an asylum for the insane. The notion would have been incomprehensible to a British subject in relation to another British subject at the time of federation in 1901. Further to that, the idea that you needed a passport to travel from country to country wasn't a thing until after 1918. When Churchill said that "it is the God given right that an Englishman can live wherever the hell he likes", it kind of was almost a statement of fact.
Turn the wheel of history on for several decades and although the idea of what citizenship actually was, changed, the underlying sentiment which went into Section 44 did not. Although the framers of the Constitution might not have had the same notion of who constituted a citizen, they had a very strong notion of who was not one. That would have included other empires such as the French, German, the Austro-Hungarian, the Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Mexican and what not. It would have also included the Americans who of their own accord and much fighting left the British Empire and would have also included Aboriginal peoples who although had been in Australia longer than everyone else, still did not have citizenship extended to them.
As the century rolled on and the idea of the nation state solidified, the idea of who was and who was not one of us also changed but Section 44 remained as an unmarked booby trap apparently. After the Second World War people started moving around the world with far more ease than they ever had before and in the case of Australia, the country practically threw its arms wide for a while, provided that they were someone who mostly looked like us (whatever the heck "us" is), until that we quite rightly seen as the racist policy it was.
That is the fundamental question which Section 44 tries to address. You don't want law which is made by "them" (whoever them is) and you want law which is made by us (whoever "us" is). The problem which Section 44 probably never ever thought of is, if the nation would eventually be composed of people from everywhere, that would put definite strains on what the definition of "us" is. Australia in 1900 was a nation composed of people who almost exclusively came from inside the British Empire and the subsequent laws which followed even went so far as to impose difficult barriers to entry of people from outside, from coming in. In 2017, where the nation is now composed of people who have come from everywhere, does such a limited definition of who is "us" make for something useful when it comes to making law?
It is important to remember that Section 44 of the Constitution does not put any limitations on people who hold dual citizenship from living in society. We haven't decided that on becoming an Australian, that all ties to foreign nations be severed. That requirement that legal ties be severed only comes into operation when someone wants to become a member of parliament and have a say in the law that affects everybody else.
This I think is the crux of the reasoning. The administration of power as vested in the parliament isn't merely in the hands of the 1% but the 0.001%. There are only 226 members of parliament and potentially any one of them could be the Prime Minister. I don't think it unreasonable that when you have the power of making law which can very much affect the lives of a great deal many people, that it is incumbent that you should have those people in mind. The people who make laws for all of us (whatever "us" happens to be) should be legally bound to be one of us and only us.
Section 44 also inadvertently acts as a barrier to incompetence. If a whole bunch of people end up getting removed from the parliament because they hold dual citizenship, I can't say that I feel particularly sorry for them. If you desire to be one of the 0.001% who makes laws on behalf of everyone else, then the very least that you should do is read the rule book which lays out how to make rules. If you want to run the excuse that you didn't know that you were a dual citizen, or more shockingly that you didn't know that this provision existed in the Constitution, then really shouldn't be a member of parliament. Section 44 imposes a responsibility test upon someone who desires a responsible position. It's not like Section 44 is something which is new, it's been there since 1900; before the nation of Australia was legally a thing. If you can't be bothered to read the Constitution, which just happens to be in the bookshop in the front foyer of Parliament House and costs a fiver, then you shouldn't be allowed to be on the floor of the chambers where you will be bound by it.
Do we need to prerogue parliament as has been suggested? I don't think so. If this ends up tumbling a lot of bumbling people out of the parliament, then so be it. There are rules to determine what happens with vacancies in both the House Of Representatives and the Senate; that may involve by-elections and if someone wants to re run for parliament, then maybe they aught to read the Constitution before they contest for the seat again. If there really is a problem with the existence of Section 44, then the Constitution itself details the procedure for changing the document; thus we end up where this piece started.
I don't think that Section 44 is a bad thing. The very notion of what citizenship actually is, is vastly different now to what it was in 1900, but the idea that a very few select group of people charged with the responsibility of making laws for us should be legally bound to us and only us, hasn't really changed at all. Section 44 should stay; especially if it means that those who shouldn't, shouldn't.

In my first 'members post', I promised to find the manuscript folders, and maybe even open them. I am delighted to report "Mission Accomplished." Tempted though I was to dive straight into the narrative and start making tweaks, I resisted.
Instead, I scan-read the entire draft, focused on the story. Apart from the glaring inconsistencies, the plot meanders. In parts, the characters stumbled from one scene to another without rhyme nor reason, and in the next wandered off nowhere in particular, for entire chapters.
My writing is supported by people like you. The remainder of this post is reserved for Members. Membership costs £12 per year. For this princely sum, you will get access to subscriber only posts, direct access to a members chatroom , and a digital copy of any and all work that I publish in the year. Become a member.

Local actors, filmmakers and students from Carlisle have produced a short film encouraging young people to vote in the General Election.
'The Guardians', directed by Peadar Sweeney of Eden Films, follows historical figures from Carlisle's past, as they attempt to persuade a group of students to cast their vote.
The film features actors playing:
Queen Victoria
A Border Reiver
James Steel - editor of the Carlisle Journal and Mayor of the city
Jimmy Dyre - known as The Cumberland Bard
They have to convince the young adults that they can have a say in their future, and can make positive changes by visiting the polling station.
The filmmakers hope that by using humour, they can get across a serious social message, to combat what they see as a serious problem.
A poll for British Future shows only 41 percent of young people say they'll definitely cast their ballot, meaning around two million 18 to 23 year olds won't vote.
2014 Electoral Commission figures:
Of 20-24 year olds registered to vote
Of people over 65 registered to vote
At 2010 General Election:
Of 18 to 24-year-olds voted
Of people over 65 voted

Any suggestions?

You get to have baby cinos with Mum at the cafe, walk in the park, make great constructions from the art and craft box, lick the beaters when a cake is being made, play dress ups all day, dance, sing and laugh. You can jump on the trampoline, play on the swing, visit all the family pets while the big kids are at school, water the vegetable garden (and everything nearby), watch PlaySchool, help out with the shopping, the 'jobs' and cleaning the house. You can help cut the carrot and cucumber when we make a salad, you can talk to everyone who calls by, you alert us all when a new text message comes in, the phone rings or an email pings. You can work and iPhone, an iPod and an iPad. You ask after everyone when they come home at the end of the day, you can say grace, thank God for this"happily family thank you for this lovely day". You are only three and a bit but you know so much about this little world.

Official State of Alaska Vacation and Travel Information
"The Dalton Highway through Atigun Pass " - submitted by Danielle Watson

Imagine wilderness as far as the eye can see. A treeless landscape full of life. A place where the sun doesn't set (in summer) and northern lights dance (in winter). If you're above 66⁰ north latitude, you're above the Arctic Circle. And Alaska is the only place to experience the Arctic in the United States. Whether you have a day or a week, a trip to the Arctic is an unforgettable experience.
As an introduction to the Arctic, try a flightseeing tour out of Fairbanks or drive up the Dalton Highway (aka the Haul Road) to the old mining town of Wiseman in the Brooks Range. Or, travel further north to the terminus of the Pan-American Highway and the oil fields of Prudhoe Bay. Once here, you'll need a reservation and valid photo ID to dip your toes in the Arctic Ocean outside of Deadhorse, an oil company town that supports the state's largest industry.
Alternatively, take a small plane from Fairbanks to the small community of Bettles, a former U.S. Navy support base, and the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. Often called "Alaska's Ultimate Wilderness," the 8.4 million-acre Gates is home to magnificent landscapes, steeped in history and wildlife. Mountains drift into tundra, and wild rivers provide access to some of the most remote areas of the state. Tour operators support day trips or overnight camping trips in Gates of the Arctic, as well as the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge farther north and east.
Northwestern Alaska, along the Bering Strait and the Chukchi Sea, takes you off the beaten track. Cruise through the Northwest Passage by ship, or fly to an Alaska Native community for a land-based adventure. In Northwestern Alaska, you can visit one of the many national parks north of the Arctic Circle for a true wilderness experience and world-class river trips. Kotzebue, Northwest Alaska's largest community and regional hub, is a short, commercial flight away from Fairbanks. Spend a day walking the town, including a stop at the Northwest Arctic Heritage Center. Kotzebue is the jumping off point for Kobuk Valley National Park and the Kobuk National Wild and Scenic River, the Noatak National Preserve and the Noatak River, Selawik National Wildlife Refuge and the Selawik River, Cape Krusenstern National Monument, and the Koyukuk National Wildlife Refuge. The Iñupiaq people still traverse these lands and waterways as they have for 10,000 years, living a subsistence lifestyle dependent on marine and terrestrial animals. Commercial operators can provide guided multi-day raft trips down some of the most amazing wild and scenic rivers in the country.
Winter visitors may be a little more intrepid, but the Arctic in winter has a special beauty all its own. On clear nights, the northern lights drift across the sky and the short daylight hours include an opportunity for dog sledding adventures. At this time of year, tour operators provide warm coats and warm hospitality to visitors seeking a distinctly Alaskan experience.
In the know: Sand dunes in Alaska? Sure! Kobuk Valley National Park, 35 miles above the Arctic Circle, has more then 30 square miles of sand dunes. Glaciers retreating 14,000 years ago ground rocks to sand, which blew into the Kobuk Valley. Today, dunes at the largest dune field—Great Kobuk Sand Dunes—tower more than 100 feet into the air. Bring plenty of water when you visit, too: temperatures can be almost Saharan, topping 100 degrees at times during the long summer days.
Keep Reading to learn more about Alaska's Arctic.
Utqiaġvik (oot-kay-ahg-vik), the city formerly known as Barrow, is the northernmost community in Alaska. Utqiaġvik, on the Chukchi Sea, is only accessible by plane from Fairbanks or Anchorage; no roads connect this coastal community to the rest of the state.
If you visit Utqiaġvik in summer, plan on long days. Technically, just one long day! This far above the Arctic Circle, the sun rises on May 10 and doesn't set until August 2. Conversely, during the winter, the sun doesn't peek above the horizon for 51 days between November and January.
After arriving in Utqiaġvik, visit the Iñupiat Heritage Center for an introduction to Iñupiat culture and their strong relationship to the land and sea. The Center also hosts local artisans and has a gift shop with locally made art available for sale. In the afternoon, walk to Cape Smythe Whaling and Trading Station, the oldest frame building in the Arctic, or visit the Birnirk Archaeological Site, a National Historic Landmark. Here, dwelling mounds dating to 500-900 A.D. reveal the earliest instance of modern Iñupiat culture. Artifacts found at the Birnirk site serve as the defining reference collection for Iñupiat-related archaeological sites across the Arctic.
Stay overnight at a local hotel before taking a day trip to explore for snowy owls (the traditional name of the community is Ukpeaġvik, "place where snowy owls are hunted") or polar bears. Depending on the time of year, you may get to participate in a nalukataq, the celebration of a successful traditional whaling hunt. This is a special time for the community, where whale meat and muktuk (strips of blubber) are shared with everyone in the community.
While the day is long in Utqiaġvik, pack accordingly. Temperatures remain below freezing most days of the year.
This seven-day tour highlights the best of Fairbanks festivals and winter events, combined with the adventures of dog mushing, a small plane flight, and unrivaled northern lights viewing above the Arctic Circle. Read More

23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

What do you see? Failure. Defeat. Hopelessness. Insignificance. Weakness. If so, change your perspective! Stop focusing on your immediate need, want, challenge, or what you think is the solution to your problem, so that you can see what God desires to show you in the midst of your circumstance. God desires to reveal himself to you exactly where you are on today. You just have to pay attention!! Stop doing things your way, even if you think it is good, and listen to what God is trying to tell you and show you for your ministry and your life right now. It may appear all is lost, that you are forgotten, or you have gone too far down the wrong road, but I encourage you to hold fast and see the salvation of the Lord. Look again!!

"Success" is not our goal; we're not here to win a race, we are here to win freedom. I didn't write GCC with the idea of making a "better" C compiler. I wrote it so there would be a freedom-respecting C compiler, and while I was at it, I did the best job I knew how. We didn't develop GNU to have a "better" operating system than Unix; we developed it so we could have a freedom-respecting operating system. It's the same today.

I got to hang out with my dad in my dreams last night. We were on a large patch of green grass and he was showing me a wooden chair he found somewhere and what a deal it was. He was in his jolly mood- excited about yet another good deal he came across. He was wearing his brown flannel shirt, the one he always wore when he would put on his cowboy boots. A look he loved to have ever since he immigrated and landed himself in Texas back in the day. Then I walked into the house I grew up in and saw my mother, asked her if she saw Dad, and she just looked at me blankly. And then in my dream, It was as if I woke up from my other dream, and I realized I was talking jibberish. He's no longer around.
This Sunday would have been Tsiki's 26th birthday. We already feel it, his friends and I, his family. It's an anticipation that is always far worse than the actual day. I went the entire summer without too much thought- just allowing time to move us forward. Skipping myself farther away from the sadness that is never too far away. Who knew that sometimes we skip in circles- it's just the circles get larger and larger with time.
So here I am- having myself a moment- but it'll last for a few days, where everything gets a little bit scary and then time passes, skips away- forward.

The National Gallery of Canada will re-open to onsite visitors on July 18, 2020. Learn more
TORONTO, ON – Scotiabank, in partnership with the Canadian Photography Institute of the National Gallery of Canada, announced today the inaugural New Generation Photography Award. The prize, designed to support the careers of young artists and to help them reach their infinite potential, will recognize three Canadians ages 30 and under, working in lens-based art.
More about the New Generation Photography Award:
"At Scotiabank, we believe in the power of youth. For more than 185 years we have helped to foster a new generation of leaders. We believe that investing in young people is the pathway to community prosperity. The New Generation Photography Award is another big step on that journey. We're launching it to support the careers of young Canadian artists. Scotiabank's goal is to help ensure that young people have the necessary skills and resources they need to reach their infinite potential."
– John Doig, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Scotiabank.
"This award has the power to change lives and careers by offering greater visibility for these young artists. It will open up mentorship and networking possibilities and shine a spotlight on their individual work – we couldn't be more excited to be involved."
– Luce Lebart, Director of Canadian Photography Institute
Scotiabank believes the arts make Canadians richer. The New Generation Photography Award is amongst the many ways that Scotiabank acknowledges the importance of photography in Canada. Scotiabank is the title sponsor of the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival, the largest photography festival in the world. In 2010, Scotiabank co- created the Scotiabank Photography Award with Edward Burtynsky, the largest annual peer-nominated and peer-reviewed award in Canadian contemporary photography. The New Generation Photography Award is furthering Scotiabank's commitment to the arts and to young people in Canada.
To celebrate the announcement of the New Generation Photography Award, Scotiabank is creating an Instagram gallery at Rideau Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. Canadians will have the opportunity for their art to be seen by thousands in a public exhibit by tagging their photographs with #InfinitePotential. The 20-foot double sided exhibit will pull in and rotate through user generated content across 10 digital screens, displayed behind minimal picture frames to replicate a modern gallery. Each photo will include the artist's avatar and user name. The exhibit will run for two weeks (July 31 – August 14) and will highlight Scotiabank's continued commitment to supporting young artists by giving them a stage for their expressions.

« Liberals: Don't Be Crybabies | Main | Land of the Dead: Kinda Sucky, Says Dave »
June 26, 2005
I Love The America... That Can Be
Supposedly Hillary! said something like that.
I had a whole big-ass post on this a while ago, but Geoff in the comments says it tersely:
The problem with the liberal concept of "patriotism" is that they are patriotic only to their personal conception of what the country should be. This renders the idea of patriotism meaningless - it is trivial to say that one has a loyalty to one's own world views. Their unbridled criticism results, then, from the failure of the country to satisfy their individual tenets about what it should be.
My post (I'll have to find it) noted that any husband who tells his wife "I kinda-sorta love you, in a way, but I hate almost all of your entire past history, and I despise your current values, but if you change all that, then I will unequivocally declare my love for you" is a guy who's looking to sleep in the garage.
But again and again this is what the left tells us constitutes their "love of country." They show their love by obsessing over the flaws of the supposed object of their affection.
Again-- hey, I'm as annoyed by this country as any liberal. Doesn't mean I have any hesitancy about being a patriot.
I guess the difference between a conservative's and a liberal's love for America is this:
Warts and all, conservatives are smart enough to realize this is the most beautiful wife we'll ever get.
Liberals, on the other hand, still have their eyes fixed firmly on the real object of their true affections-- Europe.
Conservatives may compare America to an unreal idealized version of what a country could be. A bit of harmless, nonthreatening fantasy.
Whereas liberals are always checking out the hot hootchie that lives across the pond called "Sweden."

The song I'm listening to at the moment is called "King and Lionheart" but I feel like the furthest thing from either of those descriptors. Actually, I feel down right now and downright weak, old and fat. The stress and fatigue have grown exponentially from each day to the next this week and I definitely haven't been taking good care of myself (I love donuts but I miss vegetables…). Still, all the preparation and backbreak will have been worth it when I see my girl on Sunday and we begin the next phase of our lives together.
Also, I read a poem today in The Writer's Almanac that really also slapped me awake for a moment. I've never really read much of Sylvia Plath's work and I guess my generic expectation for her is not one of inspiration and energy, but the poem I read today left me excited and quite write-jealous. It's called "Child" and I especially love the second line. Enjoy!
Your clear eye is the one absolutely beautiful thing.
I want to fill it with color and ducks,
The zoo of the new
Whose names you meditate —
April snowdrop, Indian pipe,
Stalk without wrinkle,
Pool in which images
Should be grand and classical
Not this troublous
Wringing of hands, this dark
Ceiling without a star.
"Child" by Silvia Plath, from Collected Poems of Silvia Plath.
We are bruised and broken masterpieces…

Let us come out of our comfort zones and meet..
I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn't fail.
The same four walls and busywork were really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before,
But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.
I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much.
I said I didn't care for things like commission checks and such.
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,
But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.
I couldn't let my life go by just watching others win.
I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step and with new strength I'd never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.
If you're in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out,
Remember that everyone were at one time filled with doubt.
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.
Reach for your future with a smile; success is there for you!

Butha-Buthe Highland region of Lesotho © Pure Salmon
Pure Salmon to build land-based salmon farm in Butha-Buthe
Thursday, July 18, 2019, 15:30 (GMT + 9)
Pure Salmon has announced a new 20,000-tonne RAS facility in the African kingdom of Lesotho, an enclaved independent country completely surrounded by the territory of South Africa.
Located in the Butha-Buthe Highland region, the USD 250 million farm will be developed in partnership with the Lesotho National Development Corporation (LNDC) and is predicted to have annual revenues accounting for 8% of the country's GDP.
Lesotho is just over 30,000 km2 (11,583 sq mi) in size and has a population of around 2 million
In a press release, Stephane Farouze, board director of Pure Salmon and chairman and founder of 8F Asset Management – Pure Salmon's parent company – said: "Not only is Lesotho one of the most dramatically beautiful countries in the world, the Highlands are also the source of some of the purest natural water reserves in the world. This directly complements the Pure Salmon pledge to deliver sustainable Atlantic Salmon, free of microplastics, antibiotics, pesticides and other contaminants.
"Through our partnership with the LNDC and investment in the Lesotho site, we hope to provide increased opportunities for the local community through the production of sustainable salmon. Whether that's providing new jobs, offering training opportunities in the aquaculture industry or contributing to the LNDC's commitment to diversify the country's agriculture industry, we look forward to bringing this project to fruition."
The agreement for the project was signed by LNDC chief executive Mohato Seleke, in the presence of the Lesotho government's finance, trade and water ministers.
The announcement follows the company's ambitious launches with a fully operational facility in Poland jointly owned with Pure Salmon's technology partner, AquaMaof, and projects under way or planned in Japan, China, Bahrain, the United States and Europe. Pure Salmon aims to produce 260,000 tons of salmon per annum globally.
Each Pure Salmon farm uses AquaMaof's recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) technology, something which Pure Salmon says will offer a 40% lower cost of production compared to traditional sea-cage farming.

When a new year begins we like to reflect on the things that we have accomplished and learned. We also like to make new goals for ourselves and our families. Improving our overall oral health is often something we wish to improve and for good reason. A healthy mouth often is a good indication of one's overall health. Here are some ways to improve your dental health this year.
Eat a Healthy Diet
Just as your body feels better when you put good food in it, your teeth and your mouth will also thank you for making good food choices. Healthy food promotes healthy teeth. Leafy greens are rich in calcium, folic acid and lots of important vitamins and minerals that your teeth and gums love. Carrots are full of the most important minerals and vitamins for your mouth. Yogurt is packed with calcium and probiotics that protect you against cavities, gum disease and even bad breath. If you are striving to keep your teeth and mouth healthy search for foods that will aid you in your quest for healthy teeth. There are so many!
Avoid Foods and Drinks That Stain Your Teeth
You probably already know that there are lots of different foods that stain your teeth. Some are obvious. Wine for example, will stain your teeth if you are not careful about how much you drink and how often you drink it. Other common foods and drinks that will stain your teeth include: coffee, tea, soda, dark juices, tomato sauce, and berries. There are others that can stain your teeth if you're not careful. When possible stay away or consume them in moderation. When you do enjoy them from time to time make sure to rinse or brush afterward.
Drink Lots of Water
Water is always a good choice! It improves your overall health and improves and strengthens those pearly whites. Drinking water with fluoride is one of the easiest and most beneficial things you can do to help prevent cavities. Fluoride is nature's cavity fighter. Water is also a great mouth cleaner because it washes away leftover food and residue that cavity-causing bacteria love to eat. Water also dilutes the acids produced by the bacteria in your mouth. Always drink lots of water!
Regular Dental Checkups
Regular dental checkups are such an important step toward your dental health. Any conditions with your teeth or mouth will be caught at these appointments. The problems will be addressed and resolved and your teeth will continue to serve you well for the rest of your life. Start the new year right by scheduling an appointment with us today. Whether you are new to Clark Family Dental or you've been with our dental family for years your dental health is important to us. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Following on from the Andrew Morlet series (see previous news article) which provided a huge thought leadership jump on circular economy thinking (and in the process showed how broken the global plastics and clothing industries are – and hence the rampant toxic pollution they are causing both in New Zealand and around the world), we at Inzide were very proud to help sponsor the creation of "The Circular Economy opportunity for Auckland business case".
Please click HERE to download this very important document.
Inzide is the only flooring company accredited by the Ministry for the Environment (MfE) for their carpet tile recycling scheme. Our vinyl backing is 100% recyclable from NZ and most importantly can be continuously recycled over and over again. Papatoetoe library is a documented case of materials going back to Interface in the USA to be given their 3rd life as a new carpet tile. All our competitors are now moving to cheap plastic or polyester backings that only have 1 life. They are taking the 1 use PET container or polyester "rhino carpet" issue faced in China or the USA which are being converted into backing types (using energy and releasing more carbon into the atmosphere in that process) and then exporting that waste stream to NZ (in the guise of a new product) to ultimately end up in NZ landfill.
Hence our support for the circular economy to raise awareness in the design community around specifying products that have a circular life versus a take, make, waste linear life.
