Removal of DANGEROUS USED NUCLEAR FUEL begins at Fukushima SFP reactor 4 (Much more toxic than "new fuel)
The
operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has begun
removing highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel from one of its reactor
buildings.
Last week, Tokyo Electric Power Company began removing
fuel from the Number 4 reactor pool, marking the first milestone in the
process to decommission the plant's reactors.
Workers spent 5 days
transferring 22 assemblies of unused fuel rods from the reactor building
to a nearby storage pool. No problems were reported with the first
round of transfer.
On Tuesday morning, a remote-controlled crane was
used to lower a storage container cask into the pool. The fuel
assemblies will be transferred into the cask. Once the cask is full, it
will be lifted out and moved.
Radiation levels around the pool are as high as 300 micro-sieverts per hour, so a day's work is limited to 2 hours per person.
There are 1,331 spent fuel assemblies in the Number 4 reactor pool, nearly 90 percent of all the fuel there.
Assemblies
of spent fuel rods require far more caution than unused assemblies. The
spent fuel assemblies can be distorted by the effects of radiation or
heat, which could cause them to get stuck when they're extracted from
their holding rack.
In addition, the cask could fall or break during
transfer --- a scenario that would potentially expose workers to massive
doses of radiation.

Lower House PASSES STATE SECRETS BILL! (consider the implications of THIS!)
Japan's Lower House has passed the state secrets bill.
The
bill was passed on Tuesday night by a majority vote in support of the
ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party and New Komeito, along
with the opposition Your Party. The 3 parties had agreed to amend part
of the bill.
The bill was then sent to the Upper House.
At the
plenary session of the Lower House before the vote, the Liberal
Democratic Party's Takeshi Iwaya spoke in support of the bill. He said
that amid the increasingly complex international situation, in which
delicate information is shared with concerned countries, there must
exist a system to preserve information. The bill is indispensable to
secure the safety of the people.
The opposition Democratic Party's
Akihisa Nagashima said that even in the amended bill the extent of
secrecy is ambiguous, and there are concerns over the expanded
interpretation of the matter. He said it belittles the legislative
branch of government to force a vote on such an important bill.
Before
the vote was called, all the members of the opposition Japan
Restoration Party walked out of the chamber. One member of the main
ruling Liberal Democratic Party also left. Two members of the opposition
Your Party cast a vote against the bill, and one other left the
chamber.
The bill would designate national security information as
special secrets. Convicted leakers of such information would face a
maximum prison term of 10 years.
Opposition Democratic Party leader
Banri Kaieda says today must be remembered as the day when the powerful
ruling party begun to go out of control.
He was speaking to reporters on Tuesday evening after the Lower House approved the state secrets bill.
Kaieda
said he cannot but express indignation at the ruling party's use of the
force of numbers to railroad the bill through, in disregard of growing
public opposition and calls for full parliamentary debate.
Kaieda
said he felt very sorry that the bill passed the Lower House, but that
his party was able to voice its opinion against the bill in the house.
He added that his party will continue to participate in Diet discussions
to express its policies.

Access to Primary Heath Care: Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders (2013)
Primary health care, often abbreviated as "PHC", has been defined as
"essential health care based on practical, scientifically sound and
socially acceptable methods and technology made universally accessible
to individuals and families in the community through their full
participation and at a cost that the community and the country can
afford to maintain at every stage of their development in the spirit of
self-reliance and self-determination". In other words, PHC is an
approach to health beyond the traditional health care system that
focuses on health equity-producing social policy. PHC includes all areas
that play a role in health, such as access to health services,
environment and lifestyle.
This ideal model of health care was adopted in the declaration of the International Conference on Primary Health Care held in Alma Ata, Kazakhstan in 1978 (known as the "Alma Ata Declaration"), and became a core concept of the World Health Organization's goal of Health for all.[5] The Alma-Ata Conference mobilized a "Primary Health Care movement" of professionals and institutions, governments and civil society organizations, researchers and grassroots organizations that undertook to tackle the "politically, socially and economically unacceptable" health inequalities in all countries. There were many factors that inspired PHC; a prominent example is the Barefoot doctors of China.
The ultimate goal of primary health care is better health for all. The WHO has identified five key elements to achieving that goal:[8] reducing exclusion and social disparities in health (universal coverage reforms); organizing health services around people's needs and expectations (service delivery reforms); integrating health into all sectors (public policy reforms); pursuing collaborative models of policy dialogue (leadership reforms); and increasing stakeholder participation.
Behind these elements lies a series of basic principles identified in the Alma Ata Declaration that should be formulated in national policies in order to launch and sustain PHC as part of a comprehensive health system and in coordination with other sectors:[1] Equitable distribution of health care -- according this principle, primary care and other services to meet the main health problems in a community must be provided equally to all individuals irrespective of their gender, age, caste, color, urban/rural location and social class. Community participation -- in order to make the fullest use of local, national and other available resources. Community participation was considered sustainable due to its grass roots nature and emphasis on self-sufficiency, as opposed to targeted (or vertical) approaches dependent on international development assistance.[4] Health workforce development -- comprehensive health care relies on adequate numbers and distribution of trained physicians, nurses, allied health professions, community health workers and others working as a health team and supported at the local and referral levels. Use of appropriate technology -- medical technology should be provided that is accessible, affordable, feasible and culturally acceptable to the community. Examples of appropriate technology include refrigerators for vaccine cold storage. Less appropriate could include, in many settings, body scanners or heart-lung machines, which benefit only a small minority concentrated in urban areas, are generally not accessible to the poor, but draw a large share of resources.[4] Multi-sectional approach -- recognition that health cannot be improved by intervention within just the formal health sector; other sectors are equally important in promoting the health and self-reliance of communities. These sectors include, at least: agriculture (e.g. food security); education; communication (e.g. concerning prevailing health problems and the methods of preventing and controlling them); housing; public works (e.g. ensuring an adequate supply of safe water and basic sanitation); rural development; industry; community organizations (including Panchayats or local governments, voluntary organizations, etc.).
In sum, PHC recognizes that health care is not a short-lived intervention, but an ongoing process of improving people's lives and alleviating the underlying socioeconomic conditions that contribute to poor health. The principles link health and development, advocating political interventions, rather than passive acceptance of economic conditions.

How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference: Malcolm Gladwell on Sociological Changes (2000)
Malcolm Gladwell describes the "three rules of epidemics" (or the three "agents of change") in the tipping points of epidemics.
"The Law of the Few", or, as Malcolm Gladwell states, "The success of any kind of social epidemic is heavily dependent on the involvement of people with a particular and rare set of social gifts".[3] According to Malcolm Gladwell, economists call this the "80/20 Principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the 'work' will be done by 20 percent of the participants".[4] (see Pareto Principle) These people are described in the following ways:
Connectors, are the people in a community who know large numbers of people and who are in the habit of making introductions. A connector is essentially the social equivalent of a computer network hub. They usually know people across an array of social, cultural, professional, and economic circles, and make a habit of introducing people who work or live in different circles. They are people who "link us up with the world...people with a special gift for bringing the world together".[5] They are "a handful of people with a truly extraordinary knack [... for] making friends and acquaintances".[6] Malcolm Gladwell characterizes these individuals as having social networks of over one hundred people. To illustrate, he cites the following examples: the midnight ride of Paul Revere, Milgram's experiments in the small world problem, the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" trivia game, Dallas businessman Roger Horchow, and Chicagoan Lois Weisberg, a person who understands the concept of the weak tie. Gladwell attributes the social success of Connectors to the fact that "their ability to span many different worlds is a function of something intrinsic to their personality, some combination of curiosity, self-confidence, sociability, and energy".[7]
Mavens are "information specialists", or "people we rely upon to connect us with new information."[4] They accumulate knowledge, especially about the marketplace, and know how to share it with others. Gladwell cites Mark Alpert as a prototypical Maven who is "almost pathologically helpful", further adding, "he can't help himself".[8] In this vein, Alpert himself concedes, "A Maven is someone who wants to solve other people's problems, generally by solving his own".[8] According to Gladwell, Mavens start "word-of-mouth epidemics"[9] due to their knowledge, social skills, and ability to communicate. As Malcolm Gladwell states, "Mavens are really information brokers, sharing and trading what they know".[10]
Salesmen are "persuaders", charismatic people with powerful negotiation skills. They tend to have an indefinable trait that goes beyond what they say, which makes others want to agree with them. Malcolm Gladwell's examples include California businessman Tom Gau and news anchor Peter Jennings, and he cites several studies about the persuasive implications of non-verbal cues, including a headphone nod study (conducted by Gary Wells of the University of Alberta and Richard Petty of the University of Missouri) and William S. Condon's cultural microrhythms study.
The specific content of a message that renders its impact memorable. Popular children's television programs such as Sesame Street and Blue's Clues pioneered the properties of the stickiness factor, thus enhancing the effective retention of the educational content in tandem with its entertainment value.
Human behavior is sensitive to and strongly influenced by its environment. As Malcolm Gladwell says, "Epidemics are sensitive to the conditions and circumstances of the times and places in which they occur".[11] For example, "zero tolerance" efforts to combat minor crimes such as fare-beating and vandalism on the New York subway led to a decline in more violent crimes city-wide. Gladwell describes the bystander effect, and explains how Dunbar's number plays into the tipping point, using Rebecca Wells' novel Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, evangelist John Wesley, and the high-tech firm W. L. Gore and Associates. Malcolm Gladwell also discusses what he dubs the rule of 150, which states that the maximum number of individuals in a society or group that someone can have real social relationships with is 150.
Gladwell also includes two chapters of case studies, situations in which tipping point concepts were used in specific situations. These situations include the athletic shoe company Airwalk, the diffusion model, how rumors are spread, decreasing the spread of syphilis in Baltimore, teen suicide in Micronesia, and teen smoking in the United States.
