The twists of twisted pair cable act as a shield against radio frequency interference (REI), and electromagnetic interference (EMI), and against the cross talk interference that a wire exerts on nearby wires the more twist the less interference. Telephone wires can use large numbers of pairs. In most cases the pairs are not shielded with braiding or foil, as shown in Eigure lb for data communication wire. Data communication wires work at very high...

MCS may result from a single massive exposure to one or more toxic substances or repeated exposure to low doses. On one hand, some people may become chemically sensitive following a toxic chemical spill at work or in their community or after being sprayed directly with pesticides. On the other, individuals may develop this condition from spending forty hours each week in a poorly ventilated building where they breathe a profusion of chemicals common to our modem way of life. 

In the United Kingdom, the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) and regulations made under it require occupiers to provide a safe plant and system of work and adequate instruction, training, and supervision. In the European community, occupiers of major hazard sites are required to produce a safety case, which describes how hazards have been assessed and are kept under control. Many other countries have similar legislation, though standards of enforcement vary. 

Managers responsible for services within works, offices or premises have an additional task in that when engaging service contractors they then have joint responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work, etc. Act 1974 for the health and safety of the contractor s employees while on their premises. When engaging contractors to carry out work within the premises, systems must be implemented by which the contractor s employee works in a safe manner and does not create a hazard to the premises occupants or staff while carrying out this work. This responsibility is greater when there is an employee or service contractor working alone, as in most instances the premises communications do not allow for such circumstances (e.g. the lone employee may be working in remote areas such as plant rooms).

One question often debated in public art forums is whether public art should be created with or by the public rather than for the public. (45) Increasingly, cities and artists are recognizing the importance of creating works with meaning for the intended audience, and this generally requires direct input from the community or from an artist entrenched in that community. At the same time, however, art created for the community by an outsider often adds fresh perspective. Thus, cities and (50) their citizens are best served by a combination of public art created by members of the community, art created with input from members of the community, and art created by others for the community. 

How did lawn people get this way—dutiful, diligent, and anxious Not by any simple choice. Rather, they have become responsible lawn managers because a number of things are simultaneously at work on them—including their communities, their families, and their property values—all mediated by an aesthetic designed far away in space and time. They become anxious for precisely the same reasons, however. 

While still on the topic of words and language, I can t resist mentioning French playwright Antonin Artaud, who once said, All true language is incomprehensible, like the chatter of a beggar s teeth. I was never 100 percent sure as to what he meant by this, and many people considered him insane. Perhaps Artaud would agree with the observation my friends at work often make When people talk, what is actually communicated is often much less than what each party intended to communicate. ...
