:gary: Handling Sewage and Fecal Matter Safely

University employees in many areas occasionally face exposure to human or animal fecal matter or sewage. Plumbers, custodians, groundskeepers, even the casual pedestrian can come in contact with fecal matter unexpectedly. Sewage spills, plumbing malfunctions, people relieving themselves in inappropriate places, and inconsiderate pet owners are some of the causes of this problem.

:gary: Dangers of Exposure to Fecal Matter

The greatest danger of exposure to fecal matter is the possibility of it entering your mouth and then getting into your digestive system. While most people would never knowingly ingest this matter, not using proper hygiene after contact with fecal matter or sewage can create a path for microorganisms to enter.
Hand-to-mouth exposure to fecal matter can cause illnesses such as salmonellosis and hepatitis A. Salmonellosis is a bacterial disease whose symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and somtimes vomiting. Hepatatis A symptoms include fever, malaise, anorexia, nausea, and abdominal discomfort, followed within a few days by jaundice. It can be a mild illness lasting 1-2 weeks or a disabling disease lasting several months.
The possibility of contracting life-threatening diseases such as hepatitis B or AIDS is extremely remote as neither hepatitis B nor HIV can be transmitted by the fecal-oral route.


:gary: How to Protect Yourself from Fecal Matter

The two main ways of protecting yourself from fecal matter are following good hygiene practices and using personal protective equipment.

:gary: Good Hygiene
  • Do not touch fecal matter with bare hands. If you need to remove it, wear waterproof gloves and use an instrument such as tongs or a spade for picking it up.
  • Do not smoke, eat, drink, apply lip treatments, or chew gum while cleaning up fecal matter.
  • Reduce exposure by keeping those who are not properly protected from coming in contact with the material. Close the area to any use pending clearance.
  • Clean everything, including clothes, tools, and footwear, that came in contact with the fecal matter. Use a mild bleach solution made of two tablespoons of household bleach per gallon of cool water. (Chlorine is more effective in cool water.) Contaminated building floors should be scrubbed with the same solution. Be sure there is good ventilation for the chlorine fumes.
  • Wash your hands thoroughly even if you were wearing gloves the whole time. Use plenty of soap, scrub for at least 30 seconds, and rinse thoroughly with warm water. The California Department of Health Services states that "frequent, routine hand washing is the most important safeguard in preventing infection by agents present in sewage."

:gary: Clearance
Clean the site using the cleaning methods described above until all visible sewage has been removed and no sewage odor is present. The area can then reopened for use.

:gary: Personal Protective Equipment
If your work duties are such that encountering fecal matter is a possibility, always be prepared by carrying waterproof gloves and washable footwear. Coveralls can also come in handy. Such work clothes should not be worn home or outside the immediate work environment.
Another way to protect yourself against illness is by keeping your tetanus-diphtheria (Td) immunization current. "Current" means a booster shot within the last ten years (for those who have completed the basic series of three immunizations, usually given in childhood).

:gary: The Bristol Stool Chart

Upon encounter of fecal matter, it is important to identify the classification of such matter to promote better handling safety. The Bristol Stool Chart is provided here for assistance.

Newest reply. Somehow being gifted something, melting it, rebuying the LTI version and gifting it back counts against my account even though the actual transaction is listed as $0.00USD in the billing page, therefore not contributing to overall amount spent.

I really hate to come to the defence of these guys, but to them it probably looks like:

Person A: Bought ship
Person A: Gifted ship to person B
Person B: Melted Ship
Person B: Bought new ship
Person B: Gifted ship to Person A

Technically the ship you sent was destroyed, and you were gifted another ship, which is not refundable since you didn't buy it. Imagine if you did that with a car, where you bought it, gave it to someone else, who sold it to buy the exact same car (with a different VIN), which you then tried to return to the dealer.

:gary: All that said, functionally they are identical since they don't exist. You should be able to get that money back, and any good customer support team would understand that.

I don't understand how Beer being banned of this is still a mystery unless everyone is just being coy.

Beer was likely banned because of the whole Vindicator/Sabre/Potato incident, and him posting the encrypted hash of the projected name of the ship which was given to him by Smart. They can't admit to this however, because there is nothing wrong with simply guessing the name of the ship. The REAL crux is that Smart claimed this to be from an inside source, and if correct would amount to proprietary information. They don't want to admit that Beer was correct in his guess for the same reason as they can't admit to Austin being downsized.

Furthermore, CIG can't say Austin was downsized because admitting to that would admit Smart was correct and likely has an inside source. This in itself would not be so terrible, if the Escapist hadn't also received leaks that CIG categorically denies. If they admit that Smart was right and has a source, it also is a tacit admission that they have a leak, and that same leak is likely a source for the infamous Escapist article. They REALLY don't want to admit to anything in that article, so they have to prove Smart wrong. Beer, by taking information from Smart and posting it, got himself mixed up in the tug of war between Smart and Roberts et al.

If you are wondering why no feature updates to the Star Citizen PU, it's because they are focusing on SQ42 & putting it in maintenance mode.

My guess is that unless and until SQ42 comes out - in 2017 unless they cut & rush it out in 2016 - the PU will remain stagnant

Late last year you were claiming that CIG wouldn't last through the summer of this year, especially if SQ42 didn't come out. Do you think that timeline has changed? I haven't seen anything that leads me to believe that your first prediction was off base, and CIG having enough cash to continue into 2017 seems pretty far out there.
