While the Dominican Republic generates a relatively low volume of radioactive waste, it has prioritized their safe and secure treatment. Any disused radioactive source identified in the country is transported, characterized, classified, conditioned and stored in a centralized facility built in 2010 in Sierra Prieta, outside the capital Santo Domingo.
Around 170 sources from applications in hospitals and industry as well as so-called orphan sources — radioactive sources that are lost and then found again — detected in scrap metal industries have found a home in the facility. Some are high-activity sources, meaning they emit high levels of radiation, such as those used in radiotherapy to treat cancer. Others are low-activity sources, such as those used for industrial and research applications. Other disused sources come from mining, agriculture and construction.
The facility is equipped with radiation detectors provided by the IAEA. A team of professional staff trained under IAEA technical cooperation projects is in charge of the operation, maintenance and regular inspection of the storage facility.

Minister of Labour and Immigration Jason Copping and Minister of Jobs, Economy and Innovation Doug Schweitzer announced, from Edmonton on Monday, October 26, 2020, new initiatives to spur job creation and support Alberta’s economic recovery.
In order to create new businesses and job creators in high-demand industries, Alberta’s government is launching two new immigration pathways to attract investment, create new high-paying jobs for Albertans, diversify the economy and encourage international graduates to launch businesses here in Alberta.
These new streams will support Alberta’s recovery by attracting international job creators and skilled professionals to start businesses and get Albertans back to work.
Starting Oct. 26, recent international graduates from Alberta’s universities and colleges can apply to the new International Graduate Entrepreneur Immigration Stream to launch business ventures and startups in Alberta.
In January, Alberta will also launch the Foreign Graduate Start-up Visa Stream to attract talented international graduates from top U.S. universities and colleges to start businesses and settle in Alberta communities.
Alberta’s government is also making changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program by limiting the number and types of jobs available to new temporary foreign workers – making jobs available to unemployed Albertans.
As of Nov. 1, dozens of additional occupational categories will be added to the “refusal to process list,” removing the vast majority of occupations from the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program. This will result in more than 1,350 available jobs for unemployed Albertans at a time when they’re needed most.
Alberta is using its authority under the Temporary Foreign Worker Annex of the Agreement for Canada-Alberta Cooperation on Immigration and has reached an agreement with the federal government. These changes will impact 475 occupations in sectors such as accommodation and food services, retail trade, transportation, construction, and professional, scientific and technical services.
A small number of specialized occupations experiencing acute and proven labour shortages will be exempted. These changes will not impact employers recruiting for select occupations in the agriculture, technology and caregiving sectors that heavily rely on temporary foreign workers to fill employment gaps.
Alberta will monitor and adjust the province’s “refusal to process list” quarterly and work with industry experts, businesses, post-secondary institutions, municipalities and organizations as economic conditions improve.
Together, the new streams and changes to the TFW program balance the need to get unemployed Albertans back to work in available jobs while keeping educated and talented entrepreneurs in Alberta to build job-creating businesses.
Alberta’s Recovery Plan is a bold, ambitious long-term strategy to build, diversify, and create tens of thousands of jobs now. By building schools, roads and other core infrastructure we are benefiting our communities. By diversifying our economy and attracting investment with Canada’s most competitive tax environment, we are putting Alberta on a path for a generation of growth. Alberta came together to save lives by flattening the curve and now we must do the same to save livelihoods, grow and thrive.
Combined, these programs will provide new tools to grow Alberta’s tech sector and attract new investments that will create new high-paying jobs. (photography by Chris Schwarz/Government of Alberta)
August 24, 2020 — The Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Department of Energy's Water Power Technology Office and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers signed a Federal Hydropower generation memorandum of understanding at Hoover Dam. The MOU provides for a collaborative working relationship that prioritizes similar goals and aligns ongoing and future renewable energy development efforts among the three agencies.

Background, from 2 weeks ago:
I have a single functional window in my apartment, providing all my sunlight. Being on the first floor, hundreds of people pass by my window daily, a privacy concern. Shortly after moving in, I prioritized the installation of plants on the windowsill for the dual purposes of beautifying my living space and shielding me from prying eyes. I purchased 2 large gorgeous jade plants, a fern-like leafy plant, and a plant that looks a large weed.
The jades are dying, they now have small flies feasting on their decaying succulent parts. The fern-like leafy plant has thinned out and likely also will not make it. The weed is doing fabulously.
This is distressing to me from both living space beautification perspective and a privacy perspective, and I had the inspiration this morning to solve the problem the jewish way: I would pay someone to deal with it. I called the horticultural society of new york and spoke with george, the director of horticulture. He was very sympathetic, really understood my pain when I told him about the dying jades.
"What sort of exposure do you have?"
"Good exposure. I mean, it's a window. There are no buildings or anything blocking the window."
"North, south, east or west?"
"Oh. Northern exposure."
"Oh, god."
"What?"
[Sounding mildly annoyed] "You had no chance."
"What do you mean?"
"Who sold you those jades?"
"This place on 10th street, just east of first avenue."
[Now a little angry] "Do they sell jewelry too?"
"Yeah, that's the place."
"Motherfuckers. Hold on a second while I write something down."
"What's the problem?"
"Motherfucking Filipino motherfuckers. I'm going to have their asses."
"What? What? The guy was so pleasant."
[Irate] "Reuben, jades ABSOLUTELY REQUIRE 6 hours a day of southern exposure. Do you understand? They ABSOLUTELY REQUIRE IT."
"Got it."
"You CANNOT sell someone a jade plant without asking if they have southern exposure. These guys are notorious for this shit."
Anyway, george is coming next tuesday for a consultation. My place is going to be a summertime greenhouse by the time he's done with me.
Note that the part about George becoming angry and making remarks about Filipinos is fiction.

“Family life takes planning, prioritization, and a lot of multi-tasking, especially when you work on a shift schedule and volunteer a great deal of time to both NATCA and your children's activities. Luckily, the skills it takes to be a great mother also lend themselves well to being a great air traffic controller. You have to be able to make decisions quickly, while being thorough in your thought process and planning. Then you have to be clear and concise when communicating.
"Being a mother to my two kids has taught me a lot about leadership. Leadership is about balance, and the balancing act has been key as I moved in and out of the many NATCA leadership roles I’ve filled. As a controller communicating with pilots and a leader to many NATCA activists and staff, it has been really important to remain calm, be confident but not arrogant, firm but not aggressive, and most of all never forget what's important. My children really helped me to learn and hone those skills. Even now that they’re grown and have moved out of the house, they still help me to keep it all in perspective.”
Kensal Green Cemetery is one of London’s magnificent seven, and one of the greater discoveries I’ve made when ticking them off. I didn’t know a huge amount before heading up, but once up there I found a huge area, densely packed with headstones and monuments, and one of the greatest collections of old statues I’ve seen in any cemetery. Definitely one to prioritize if your looking to explore London’s historic cemeteries.

NTRODUCTION: In 1994, ArcelorMittal has outlined guidelines for the Environment, in line with its policy. It prioritizes projects that focused on the knowledge of environmental aspects and impacts, as well as its monitoring and mitigation, the reduction of resources and improvement of process efficiency, protection, conservation and restoration of biodiversity and community integration, within this last theme was created Regular Environmental Education Program.
OBJECTIVES: (1) Promoting activities of individual and collective local actions to contribute to the conservation and preservation of the environment, (2) Cooperate with the school of Regional Schools, (3) Recognize the importance of socio-economic and environmental natural and planted forests, (4) Understand the importance of rational use of natural resources and biodiversity.
METHODOLOGY: Implementation of an Environmental Education Center where works are developed on a regular basis, in partnership with the Regional Superintendent of Education and the School District and State and the Municipality of Carbonita. A regular program of environmental education is carried out with students from the 7th year of the respective municipality due to: the curriculum content of the sixth grade, the age range of students, and to continue the activities and not just a "ride" the CEAM. Each class visits the CEAM twice a year and the program coordinator visits the school once, talking with students about the diagnosis or the environmental situation of the school. During the school holidays are designed work with employees and contractors, parents, neighbors of company property.
RESULTS: promoting recycling of teachers through courses and seminars, dissemination and multiplication of environmental education, it was observed that students gained more knowledge about the need for
effective actions to ensure the future; a higher valuation of the improvements made in the community, most recognize the importance of improving the school environment, show maturity and critical questioning about environmental issues. Are met staff, parents and students visited all registered neighbors. From 04/10/94 to 31/12/2011, the Environmental Education Centers in Arcelor Mittal Carbonita and Bom Despacho has already received more than 110,000 people.
CONCLUSIONS: Working in partnership enables better planning of activities, includes institutions that have common goals, divide the responsibilities and costs enabling effective action permitting the exercise of citizenship that implies commitment, participation, rights and responsibilities of each member of society as a influencing the environment we live in, instead of taking ourselves for it.

This private land holder has prioritized protecting these rare intact habitats over tree farming and agriculture. Modern forestry and agriculture are the largest contributors to habitat loss of these plant populations in the southeastern U.S. Fortunately, on lands with historic less aggressive forestry practices (no deep bedding and no herbicide applications), remnant bog populations suppressed for decades can recover.

Minister of Community and Social Services Rajan Sawhney spoke in Edmonton on Sunday, April 26, 2020, about the variety of supports government is providing to help vulnerable Albertans during this unprecedented public health crisis.
A variety of efforts are being made to support vulnerable and at-risk Albertans feeling the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Government is prioritizing support for those who need it most, including people with disabilities, people accessing income support programs, homeless and women’s shelters, and civil society organizations that support Albertans, including food banks.
Support is being provided to the disability community to help navigate this crisis. Programs such as Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD), Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) and Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) are still available during the pandemic.
Government is working with disability service provider partners to provide personal protective equipment, help maintain staffing, and develop policies to allow for easier access to supports and help ensure the well-being of individuals and families. A reference guide on COVID-19 for people with disabilities has also been developed to provide information on how to stay safe and limit the spread of the virus. This guide is available online.
Alberta Supports contact centres remain open, with services accessible by phone or online. Monthly benefits continue to be provided to Albertans accessing AISH and Income Support during the pandemic. Government will be exempting a portion of the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) as income for AISH and Income Support recipients.
Homeless shelters and community organizations have received financial support to open 14 new shelter facilities to meet physical distancing requirements and are now focusing their efforts on re-housing to take people out of the shelter system. More than 400 people have been housed since the beginning of this crisis.
Women’s emergency shelters are helping to protect women and children experiencing domestic violence by providing safe isolation in hotels, adjusting programming to meet physical distancing requirements and hiring additional staff so they can respond to increased crisis calls, while continuing to provide supports to women and children.
Government has received 850 applications for the $30 million in funding from charities, not-for-profits and civil society organizations from across the province. These applications are currently being reviewed and urgent requests are being prioritized to deliver the most effective support to vulnerable Albertans.
Government also recently provided $5 million to help food banks and charities provide Albertans with food during this crisis. This funding helps ensure safe food distribution to Alberta’s food banks and will assist with efforts to respond to COVID-19. (photography by Chris Schwarz/Government of Alberta)
