Of Hearts and Swords

Premise: Reader drives Geralt crazy. Good crazy. He is drunk on the love they share and is completely and utterly infatuated with her. He would do anything for her. The moment she asks him for anything, to getting bread from the market to killing a man, he will do it for her. Anything for his she-wolf.

As you, Geralt, Jaskier and Ciri make your way to the next town, you start to notice Ciri growing tired and falling behind.

"Ciri!" You stop and beckon the girl over. Ciri stops and looks at you before running to you and your stallion, Orpheus, a gift from Geralt.

"Is something wrong?" Ciri looks concerned. Her hand rests on the hilt of her sword and a stony look starts to set into her eyes.

"Nope. Just figured you would want to ride Orpheus," You say and slide down for Ciri to mount him, "so hop on." You try to help Ciri get onto the saddle but fail, as she is now a strong young lady.

You turn to Geralt, who you see is also stopped and staring at you, making sure you are okay. "Geralt, dear, will you please help Ciri into the saddle?" You politely ask your husband.

Geralt, as though he had already heard your question before you said it, got off of Roach and quickly got to you, gently laying his hand on your hip. "Of course, darling."

Geralt, as a Witcher, does not take much effort to do anything except kill monsters, so lifting Ciri is like holding a couple of grapes.

However, he knows you... He knows you watch him. He knows you like to admire your husband... And he will gladly appease. So, even if Ciri feels as light as a feather, he flexes his arms while lifting her and making it look effortless.

As he situates Ciri on the saddle, he glances at you to see you watching him in rapture with a flush on your cheeks. He smirks while finishing strapping her into saddle.

Once he is done, he gives you a look of burning passion and struts toward you before scooping you up in a tight hold before sitting you on Roach. "Are you stable?"

You reach out and place a gentle hand on his cheek, "I am very stable, my darling. Thank you."

Geralt takes your hand and gently kisses it, before taking Roach's reins and leading the way to the nearest town. ______________________________________________________________

As Geralt leads the group into the market, with you perched on his horse, he can't help but think of a time where you two met. It seemed to happen not so long ago...

Geralt was hired as a king's escort for a war. Another stupid war... but it's good money.

Not nearly good enough for some of the shit he does for these bastards but good enough..

"Geralt!" A king beckons the man with white hair over. Geralt trudges over. "Our war advisor will be coming today to assist. If you have any questions or need anything, she is the one to ask." The old king claps Geralt on his shoulder.

She? Who could this 'she' be? He has never heard of a woman war advisor.

Then the clopping of hooves fell upon his ears. Geralt turns around, prepared for a fight, just to let his hand fall from his sword.

A woman was riding this horse. A horse of pure-blooded war and terror, but a soul of harmony and immenseness sits upon it.

A woman... bearing a symbol of a star encircled in a ring of metal, carrying two swords on her back and in a suit of armor seemingly not from this sphere. Her armor was a cloth, but it seemed to be threaded with a strong fiber-like metal.

As she approached, Geralt could see where else the encircled star was branded upon her, as if she owned the symbol. On her swords, the symbol was on the hilts. All her jewelry carried the symbol. It seemed to hang around her as much as she seemed to own it.

"Lord Lokinafir, I apologize for my tardiness. I was scoping out the lay of the land to get a better understanding of our situation." The woman dismounted from her horse and strode confidently towards the king. She bowed with a slight curtsy, resting her balance on the tips of her toes behind her.

"Of course, War Advisor. Would you like a map to draw out the lay of the land?" The king seemed to be eating out of her hand, even kissing her hand politely. He didn't even bother with the inappropriate flirting.

"No need, sire. I have something better." The woman smirked and waved her hand. A map of the land, complete with actual ridges and hills, spread out upon all of them. On each side of the map were the two armies, colored in red and white while the map was colored green.

"Soldiers!" Her voice seemed to boom and call attention to the mass of men, all with pent up testosterone and a thirst for blood, "Come!"

Her voice beckoned them to come surround the map and pay attention, even through the red haze of blood thirst. "This is the land we are fighting on. While we are at a slight disadvantage because of their size of army, we have the advantage of the land. That is all we need for a great offense. And the best offense comes with a greater defense." The map spun right in front of Geralt eyes and he faintly saw the symbol again on her palm and under the map before it faded to almost nothing. When he looked at it again, the land had changed. Their side was filled with rocks and had fallen at the opposing army's feet.

"While they stumble over themselves trying to climb out of the rocky terrain they will face, we come over our side of the hill and lie in wait with our swords pointed towards them..." The map changed again. The red soldiers had climbed over each other and finally over the rocks, while the white army laid in wait just at the middle to the bottom of the hill holding their spears towards the slope, "they run and with their momentum, impale themselves!" Suddenly, some of the reds started charging down the hill while the whites ran through the red soldiers with their spears, backed by other white soldiers to prevent themselves from falling and hurting anyone else.

"While they stall at the top of the hill, unsure of where to go, we volley them with catapults and mortars. Archers, this is where you are needed." People from the top of the hill the white soldiers have to climb over are catapults and mortars being fired off, killing most of the red soldiers. Archers back the mortar and catapults up, at least injuring the rest, causing a pitiful retreat from the red soldiers.

As she dissolves the map, Geralt knew...

He had to get to know you. ______________________________________________________________

You look back upon Jaskier, who mounted your horse once you also noticed him limping from blisters on the backs of his heels, and Ciri, hoping nothing has gone wrong. As far as you can tell, everything seems to be fine.

This immensely pleased you.

You looked upon your husband, dutifully scanning for any threat to your little family and leading the way.

"Geralt." You get the Witcher's attention as he still guides Roach and in turn guides Ciri, who is riding Orpheus. "Would you like to join me on Roach?"

"Do you want me there?" A deep, soft and gruff voice permeates the air and settles deep in your chest.

You take in a deep breath and nod, seeing a flash of yellow; knowing he is watching you. Your reaction. Your responses.

Geralt swiftly made his way to the saddle and mounted gracefully, with you still in the front, but now he has taken the reins.

On the ride to the town, Ciri asks Jaskier, "So... how did they meet?"

"Why are you asking me?" Jaskier questions Ciri. The girl is like a daughter to Geralt and Y/N. They'll tell her, anyways.

"You know everything about Geralt, don't you? You're the bard." Ciri accentuates, desperate for answers, tries to fluff Jaskier's feathers and get him to tell her.

Jaskier, feeling his ego grow, smirks and says, "You want to know how it goes? Fine." Her acts all perturbed at her poking but really is excited to tell a story.

"During a battle that no one has heard of, she showed up like a goddess riding on the wind. Geralt was immediately enraptured by her...

______________________________________________________________

"You're a mage." Geralt bluntly remarks, walking up the woman preparing her steed for battle.

She pauses. "Yes. And what of it?" The woman resumes brushing her horse.

"Well why not be safely in a castle? Tending to a king and being an advisor?" Geralt, not understanding the complexity of mages, asks.

"It wasn't for me. Besides, this is better money." The woman smiles and moves towards the head of her horse.

"You wouldn't need money if you were a mage for a king. What do you mean 'better money'?" Geralt is so confused. Why would she get paid? Are mages paid? Are some unpaid?

"I mean 'better money'. Mages do get paid, but it is typically a little amount because it is expected of them to live in the castle with the king and for the king to care for their mage, like a pet." The woman spat out the word 'pet' like it was sour.

"Ok... So if you didn't want to become a mage, why didn't you become a town healer? It's safer than this will ever be." Geralt rolls his eyes, not understanding this womans logic.

"Town's still get trampled over, plus as a mage, I could be chased out of town despite being there with all good intentions and purpose;" The woman looks longingly out at the soon-to-be battlefield, "War never goes out of style. After all..." Y/N looks dead into Geralt's yellow eyes, causing him to shiver, "everybody wants to rule the world."

______________________________________________________________

...and that day, she won the battle. Her horse died as a result, but Geralt offered for her to travel with him. He used the excuse of strategy, but he really just had developing feelings for her and didn't know how to express them. A few months later, Geralt had saved enough money from constantly killing monsters and bought her Orpheus. They kind of became a couple over time, and without notice. She has Geralt wrapped around her finger, and he would do anything for her." Jaskier finished his story, just glad he remembered the important bits.

"That's it?!" Ciri almost shouted. Jaskier was quick to shush her.

"Ciri, dear, are you okay?" Ciri could hear Y/N call from Roach. Geralt was glancing over his shoulder at the two, like he knew something was going on.

Jaskier gave Ciri a look before taking his hand away from her mouth, but not before she licked his hand, causing the bard to cringe at the ickiness. Geralt smirked at the scene.

"Just fine, Y/N! Jaskier is just telling me stories about you and Geralt." Ciri elbows the bard. 'Well played, kid.' Jaskier gives Ciri's under-the-bus throw a thought before smiling and agreeing.

"Which stories? We have lots~" Y/N's smirk can be heard from her voice.

"Just on how you two met. But I'm pretty sure he butchered it a bit, so can we trade, and you can tell me stories about you and Geralt?" Ciri smirks, looking at Jaskier. She knows Geralt would never let Jaskier even touch Roach.

"Are you okay with that, Darling?" Y/n leans into Geralt's firm chest, a feeling he secretly loves and will never tell anyone.

It is, however, apparent, as there was one time Jaskier tried to do a dance thing and fell into Geralt as to which the Witcher promptly stood the man on his feet.

A woman on the street once shoved Y/N out of the way to get to Geralt, and 'tripped', subsequently leading to her falling onto Geralt's chest. He swiftly moved to catch Y/N while pushing the woman away. Geralt didn't let Y/N walk anymore that day. Said that 'the hazard of tripping was too high'. Really, he just wanted to feel her against him.

Geralt looks at her and nods, knowing full well that he won't let Jaskier get on Roach. "Do it quick. We are losing daylight." Geralt said as he slows and pulls Roach to a stop.

Geralt hops off first and assists Y/N, helping her get off Roach and on Orpheus. Jaskier was quick to jump off Orpheus to avoid accidentally getting pushed off by Y/N.

As Y/N settled into Orpheus, Geralt strapped her in to make sure she fall off. Once he was content with it, he looked at her. "Thank you, my Darling." Y/N puts a soft hand to his face and gently thumbs his cheek.

Geralt smiles softly before heading back to Roach and giving Jaskier a glare when the bard tries to mount Roach. Jaskier purses his lips and backs off, submitting to his fate of walking.

"Can you tell me the story of how you and Geralt met?" Ciri, eyes shining in anticipation of heroic stories and funny tales of her father figure.

"Well, honey-girl, once upon a time..." Y/N's voice fades into the distance, away from the ears of squirrels and birds. Where the trees part and give way to civilization. "Seems we were closer than we thought." Y/N shrugs and gets off Orpheus, leading the stallion to the closest inn. "Maybe another time, dear." Y/N helps Ciri down and kisses her head softly before following Geralt into the inn for three rooms.

If Ugandans have a social safety net, it is woven from banana fibers, and if there is a clear path to socialism, it will be lined with banana leaves. The lusuku model, premised on intercropping and smallholder farming, could be the basis for national agrarian reform that improves the lives of Uganda’s agricultural workers without accelerating the destruction of the natural environment. Uganda faces increasing difficulty feeding itself because of climate extremes and land degradation, and this affects farmers more significantly than anyone else. Moreover, since the 1990s, the ruling National Resistance Movement regime sold off and dismantled most of the coffee, tea, and cotton growers cooperatives, leaving smallholder farmers in the hands of the predatory middlemen which cooperatives had been established to protect them against. Unable to collectively bargain and exposed to dramatic fluctuations in the market prices for cash crops, many people left rural areas to search for employment in cities. This has been a driving force behind the massive inequality between rural and urban workers. Ugandans now produce more food than they consume, even exporting to other countries in the region, yet 41% of people are undernourished, and agricultural production has decreased over the last 20 years. For the most part, the strategy pursued by Uganda’s government has been to encourage the development of ecologically disastrous intensive agriculture for export, privileging foreign investors rather than developing the infrastructure that would benefit peasants. Indeed, while more than 70% of Ugandans are employed in agriculture, the sector only receives around 4% of public investment, and projects aimed at helping smallholder farmers have had very little success, even by their own standards. Many of the government’s investments in agriculture very clearly advantage larger landowners, to the detriment of the poorest farmers. For example, most of the government’s investment in labor-saving technologies has been spent on tractors, which are great for large plots but largely unaffordable or unsuitable for the average farmer, whose plot is usually between 1-3 acres large. However, a socialist transition premised on agroecological reforms could make use of the existing lusuku model to create the kind of growth that actually improves poor farmers’ lives without destroying their environment. This could begin with reestablishing cooperatives and engineering agricultural prices around social needs and goals, like guaranteeing access to food. Research from around the world has shown that while large, monocrop plantations are good at producing huge volumes of one crop, smallholder farms are more productive when evaluated on a per-unit area and are capable of securing national food sovereignty. Why, for example, should Ugandans buy rice imported from Pakistan or Vietnam when banana intercropping yields more calories per hectare than rice? Lusukus could feed the nation without relying on foreign experts, development aid, or the capital-intensive inputs now being imported to grow for export. Because lusukus are far better for the soil, they also improve the nation’s capacity to resist severe floods and drought, effects of climate change that hit poor farmers hardest. In these ways, the lusuku model could provide a sustainable path to socialist development.

scans: Time magazine, October 22, 1945

World War 2 had ended a month and a half earlier and now everyone was trying to figure out what they were supposed to be doing in peacetime. (The advertisements still include a line saying “Buy War Bonds” at the bottom.) Let’s take a jaunt through this exciting time, where Time had a lot of political statements to make because so much was going on right then.

Czechoslovakia started in 1918. ceased existance under the Nazis in 1939 but Beneš maintained a government-in-exile, was restarted in 1945 once the war ended, and ceased existance for good in 1989.

That’s right, we bombed Hiroshima because they had ball bearings. This is one of three advertisements by bearing makers.

That time the Daughters of the American Revolution were unsurprisingly racist, and President Truman called them Nazis... but then his wife Bess had tea with the DAR, which pissed off Scott’s husband, US Representative Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Scott got the last laugh when Representative Powell booked Carnegie Hall for her and the show was a huge success.

I will post the entire article soon. Some people are reading too much into the character and not doing enough reading of the comic strip itself. (Also, he claims that Wonder Woman is both a Nazi and a whore. Clearly Ong has a thing for either the soft-heroes of Marvel or the horror comics from Entertaining.)

You’ve got to move to Memphis, that’s what I’ll do... There’s also a full-page ad for moving to Cleveland. “75 million customers within 500 miles!”

“Experts agree that Shirley [Temple] has a good many years ahead -- either in or out of the movies.” Mostly out since she did 8 more films over the next two(!!) years then mostly bowed out of Hollywood. Also, remember that in the 1940s, premarital sex was taboo so the premise of Temple’s character getting knocked up by her boyfriend was scandalous. Marriage at 17, as she had done, was not.

This guy.

A two-page spread for magnesium. A decade later, the rave would be aluminum, and that particular metal is still with us.

Heil (thppt!) Heil (thppt!) right in the Fuhrer’s face. The Nuremberg trials started on November 20 so things were going to stay interesting for a year.

I’ve asked the purists: Aralac fiber, derived from the casein in milk -- “wool made from cheese” -- makes the clothing vegetarian but not vegan, and no cattle died to make that outfit.

Lastly: You’ll have to click over to my typewriter blog to see the clunky post-war typewriter Smith-Corona was advertising (an Army office model), when what they really put on the market once they had unshelved all the parts they had stockpiled prior to the war (to make rifle firing pins for a spell) were some really stylish and handsome Silents, Sterlings, and Clippers.

Omegle has been shut down.

Posting here for posterity. Retrieved directly from omegle.com on Nov 8 2023

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” — C.S. Lewis

“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.” — Douglas Adams

Dear strangers,

From the moment I discovered the Internet at a young age, it has been a magical place to me. Growing up in a small town, relatively isolated from the larger world, it was a revelation how much more there was to discover – how many interesting people and ideas the world had to offer.

As a young teenager, I couldn’t just waltz onto a college campus and tell a student: “Let’s debate moral philosophy!” I couldn’t walk up to a professor and say: “Tell me something interesting about microeconomics!” But online, I was able to meet those people, and have those conversations. I was also an avid Wikipedia editor; I contributed to open source software projects; and I often helped answer computer programming questions posed by people many years older than me.

In short, the Internet opened the door to a much larger, more diverse, and more vibrant world than I would have otherwise been able to experience; and enabled me to be an active participant in, and contributor to, that world. All of this helped me to learn, and to grow into a more well-rounded person.

Moreover, as a survivor of childhood rape, I was acutely aware that any time I interacted with someone in the physical world, I was risking my physical body. The Internet gave me a refuge from that fear. I was under no illusion that only good people used the Internet; but I knew that, if I said “no” to someone online, they couldn’t physically reach through the screen and hold a weapon to my head, or worse. I saw the miles of copper wires and fiber-optic cables between me and other people as a kind of shield – one that empowered me to be less isolated than my trauma and fear would have otherwise allowed.

I launched Omegle when I was 18 years old, and still living with my parents. It was meant to build on the things I loved about the Internet, while introducing a form of social spontaneity that I felt didn’t exist elsewhere. If the Internet is a manifestation of the “global village”, Omegle was meant to be a way of strolling down a street in that village, striking up conversations with the people you ran into along the way.

The premise was rather straightforward: when you used Omegle, it would randomly place you in a chat with someone else. These chats could be as long or as short as you chose. If you didn’t want to talk to a particular person, for whatever reason, you could simply end the chat and – if desired – move onto another chat with someone else. It was the idea of “meeting new people” distilled down to almost its platonic ideal.

Building on what I saw as the intrinsic safety benefits of the Internet, users were anonymous to each other by default. This made chats more self-contained, and made it less likely that a malicious person would be able to track someone else down off-site after their chat ended.

I didn’t really know what to expect when I launched Omegle. Would anyone even care about some Web site that an 18 year old kid made in his bedroom in his parents’ house in Vermont, with no marketing budget? But it became popular almost instantly after launch, and grew organically from there, reaching millions of daily users. I believe this had something to do with meeting new people being a basic human need, and with Omegle being among the best ways to fulfill that need. As the saying goes: “If you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door.”

Over the years, people have used Omegle to explore foreign cultures; to get advice about their lives from impartial third parties; and to help alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation. I’ve even heard stories of soulmates meeting on Omegle, and getting married. Those are only some of the highlights.

Unfortunately, there are also lowlights. Virtually every tool can be used for good or for evil, and that is especially true of communication tools, due to their innate flexibility. The telephone can be used to wish your grandmother “happy birthday”, but it can also be used to call in a bomb threat. There can be no honest accounting of Omegle without acknowledging that some people misused it, including to commit unspeakably heinous crimes.

I believe in a responsibility to be a “good Samaritan”, and to implement reasonable measures to fight crime and other misuse. That is exactly what Omegle did. In addition to the basic safety feature of anonymity, there was a great deal of moderation behind the scenes, including state-of-the-art AI operating in concert with a wonderful team of human moderators. Omegle punched above its weight in content moderation, and I’m proud of what we accomplished.

Omegle’s moderation even had a positive impact beyond the site. Omegle worked with law enforcement agencies, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, to help put evildoers in prison where they belong. There are “people” rotting behind bars right now thanks in part to evidence that Omegle proactively collected against them, and tipped the authorities off to.

All that said, the fight against crime isn’t one that can ever truly be won. It’s a never-ending battle that must be fought and re-fought every day; and even if you do the very best job it is possible for you to do, you may make a sizable dent, but you won’t “win” in any absolute sense of that word. That’s heartbreaking, but it’s also a basic lesson of criminology, and one that I think the vast majority of people understand on some level. Even superheroes, the fictional characters that our culture imbues with special powers as a form of wish fulfillment in the fight against crime, don’t succeed at eliminating crime altogether.

In recent years, it seems like the whole world has become more ornery. Maybe that has something to do with the pandemic, or with political disagreements. Whatever the reason, people have become faster to attack, and slower to recognize each other’s shared humanity. One aspect of this has been a constant barrage of attacks on communication services, Omegle included, based on the behavior of a malicious subset of users.

To an extent, it is reasonable to question the policies and practices of any place where crime has occurred. I have always welcomed constructive feedback; and indeed, Omegle implemented a number of improvements based on such feedback over the years. However, the recent attacks have felt anything but constructive. The only way to please these people is to stop offering the service. Sometimes they say so, explicitly and avowedly; other times, it can be inferred from their act of setting standards that are not humanly achievable. Either way, the net result is the same.

Omegle is the direct target of these attacks, but their ultimate victim is you: all of you out there who have used, or would have used, Omegle to improve your lives, and the lives of others. When they say Omegle shouldn’t exist, they are really saying that you shouldn’t be allowed to use it; that you shouldn’t be allowed to meet random new people online. That idea is anathema to the ideals I cherish – specifically, to the bedrock principle of a free society that, when restrictions are imposed to prevent crime, the burden of those restrictions must not be targeted at innocent victims or potential victims of crime.

Consider the idea that society ought to force women to dress modestly in order to prevent rape. One counter-argument is that rapists don’t really target women based on their clothing; but a more powerful counter-argument is that, irrespective of what rapists do, women’s rights should remain intact. If society robs women of their rights to bodily autonomy and self-expression based on the actions of rapists – even if it does so with the best intentions in the world – then society is practically doing the work of rapists for them.

Fear can be a valuable tool, guiding us away from danger. However, fear can also be a mental cage that keeps us from all of the things that make life worth living. Individuals and families must be allowed to strike the right balance for themselves, based on their own unique circumstances and needs. A world of mandatory fear is a world ruled by fear – a dark place indeed.

I’ve done my best to weather the attacks, with the interests of Omegle’s users – and the broader principle – in mind. If something as simple as meeting random new people is forbidden, what’s next? That is far and away removed from anything that could be considered a reasonable compromise of the principle I outlined. Analogies are a limited tool, but a physical-world analogy might be shutting down Central Park because crime occurs there – or perhaps more provocatively, destroying the universe because it contains evil. A healthy, free society cannot endure when we are collectively afraid of each other to this extent.

Unfortunately, what is right doesn’t always prevail. As much as I wish circumstances were different, the stress and expense of this fight – coupled with the existing stress and expense of operating Omegle, and fighting its misuse – are simply too much. Operating Omegle is no longer sustainable, financially nor psychologically. Frankly, I don’t want to have a heart attack in my 30s.

The battle for Omegle has been lost, but the war against the Internet rages on. Virtually every online communication service has been subject to the same kinds of attack as Omegle; and while some of them are much larger companies with much greater resources, they all have their breaking point somewhere. I worry that, unless the tide turns soon, the Internet I fell in love with may cease to exist, and in its place, we will have something closer to a souped-up version of TV – focused largely on passive consumption, with much less opportunity for active participation and genuine human connection. If that sounds like a bad idea to you, please consider donating to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organization that fights for your rights online.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who used Omegle for positive purposes, and to everyone who contributed to the site’s success in any way. I’m so sorry I couldn’t keep fighting for you.

Sincerely, Leif K-Brooks Founder, Omegle.com LLC

ASBESTOS Workforce Health Risks WORKFORCE HEALTH RISKS AND REPUTATIONAL DAMAGE LINKED TO ASBESTOS IN COMPANY BUILDINGS. Usage of Asbestos Asbestos: A Long-Term Process Risks of Asbestos Asbestosis Lung Cancer Pulmonary Hypertension Mesothelioma Effects on Your Heart Best Way to Communicate with Public Ways to make people secure Prevent Inhaling Asbestos Measures to Reduce the Effects of Already Exposed Asbestos Methods to Keep Premises Secure With increased awareness and technological advancement across the globe, workforce rights have gained significant importance. All the companies have become conscious about providing rights to their workforce because of their increased importance for the company's growth and progress. Labor rights have gained significance in the law of every country. It refers to all claimed set of legal rights that are guaranteed by labor and employment law. It has become a necessary part of the constitutions of all the countries across the globe (Cleveland, 1998). These rights have multiple forms like compensation and benefits, salary of the workforce, pension, gratuity, rewards, perks and safe working conditions. With this increased significance of the rights of workforce, labor unions have become strong and have gained the authority to change the working situation in light of these laws. These labor rights have given eminent control and authority to the workforce and worker's self-management has increased and these days' workers have a democratic voice in decision and policy making. One of the most important rights that every company obliges to fulfill is the safety of the workforce. It is considered the right of every member of the workforce to return to his house safe and sound. Preventing illness that is the consequence of the workplace safety is the duty of every organization (Stewart & Abellard, 1992). This research paper deciphers the facts and security measures that can be adopted about the workforce health risks and reputational damage linked to asbestos in company buildings. Asbestos is a set of six silicate minerals that are being used frequently in buildings. Inhaling the fibers of this mineral for a long period of time can result in illness. It can cause many diseases like lung cancer, mesothelioma and many other diseases (LaDou, 2004). The use of this mineral in the construction of buildings became popular in 19th century because of its multiple advantages like its property to absorb sound, its resistance to fire, it economical price and its tendency to increase tensile strength. Despite of its multiple advantages, it can cause serious health problems. This paper chiefly focuses on the role played by Europe and United Kingdom's market to prevent the workforce health risks and reputational damage linked to asbestos in company buildings. Usage of Asbestos Asbestos is a set of six silicate minerals that are being used frequently in buildings. Inhaling the fibers of this mineral for a long period of time can result in illness.

The use of this mineral in the construction of buildings became popular in 19th century because of its multiple advantages which are as follows: It is a strong fire resistant, tensile and can be used as an insulating material. Due to these advantages, it is frequently used in roofing and flooring of the buildings and for the purpose of fire proofing. It is being used in many construction related products like cement pipes, floor tiles, ceiling tiles, electrical wires, refractory and boiler insulation materials, fireproof aprons manufactured in textile industry and many other products as well Asbestos-containing products have been widely used, in one form or another, across a range of industries including shipbuilding and repair, railways, building construction and maintenance, power stations, steelworks, and motor vehicle industries. Amount of asbestos is different in every product. Some products contain small proportions of the chemical; on the contrary, some products contain high proportion. As a result, a wide variety of workforce is being exposed to the hazards of the chemical. People from various occupations like factory employees of the manufacturers of asbestos, automobile mechanics, boiler engineers, carpenters, miners, construction workers, electricians, workers in building where the chemical is used, etc. are at high level of risk because of the access use of asbestos. Asbestos: A Long-Term Process Exposure to asbestos for a long period of time can result in multiple health issues. It is a dangerous element that can cause multiple hazardous diseases. Its long-term exposure may remove a thin layer of fiber from the lungs and any health issue may not appear for 30 years of exposure to asbestos (Levine, 2011). Risks of Asbestos Much health related risks are associated with asbestos. The long-term diseases caused by asbestos are as follows: Asbestosis Long-term exposure to asbestos can result in asbestosis which is a breathing disorder where asbestos damages multiple lung tissues. The person suffering from this problem may experience pain in chest, coughing and shortness of breath. Lung Cancer Long-term exposure to asbestos can lead to lung cancer. Symbols of lung cancer include trouble in breathing, excess loss of weight, reduction if red blood cells, coughing up blood and hoarseness (LaDou, 2004). Pulmonary Hypertension As the long-term exposure to asbestos results in damaging of the tissues of lungs, so it will result in high bold pressure in the lungs, a disease called pulmonary hypertension. Mesothelioma Long-term exposure to asbestos can lead to mesothelioma. It is the cancer of the tissues of the lining of lining the stomach, heart, lungs and other organs (Maule, et al., 2007). Effects on Your Heart Manyheart related problems can be the consequences of long-term exposure to asbestos. Many problems like failure of the right side of the heart, inefficiency of the heart to pump sufficient amount of blood to the rest of the body can be the major issues. Best Way to Communicate with Public 'Europe's Asbestos Catastrophe: Supporting Victims, Preventing Future Tragedy' conference was arranged in Brussels, Belgium in September, 2012. The aim of this conference was to communicate to bring all the victims, trade unions, non-governmental organizations together to share information to control the hazards and risks of asbestos. The basic aim of this conference was to communicate with the worker class that is exposed to this danger via multiple sources (Mackenbach, 2002). The aim of this conference was to create awareness that health is the fundamental human right and asbestos dust is the violence of those human rights. The reason for conducting this conference was to educate the Europeans about the risks of asbestos. For instance, Poland is well aware of the long-term hazards of the exposure to asbestos and it invests a huge sum of money to train Labor Inspectors, businesses and workers about asbestos dangers.On the contrary, in Albania, the awareness about hazards of asbestos is very low. Even the Labor Inspectors lack the knowledge and this indicates the level of asbestos knowledge of the general public. The conference also pointed out demolition workers are the new risk groups who are exposed to the hazards of asbestos (Barry S. Levy, 2006). Awareness about daily exposure of the asbestos to teachers, students, cleaners and cooks was also pointed out in the conference. It was pointed out that how asbestos insulation board, asbestos roofing and other asbestos materials are amply present in the schools, what they mean in terms of actual contamination and how they threaten the health of young children especially every day, while their parents suppose them to be safe and taken care of. The conferences also aimed to instigate the need of urgency to adopt uniform polices throughout Europe in order to communicate the knowledge and create awareness about the risks and hazards and the adoption of preventive measures to reduce these risks and dangers (Roy, 2005). Many measures to create awareness were pointed out in the conference; few of them are as follows: Increase public awareness Develop tactics to prevent the risks and dangers Ban the use of asbestos in buildings Similarly, United Kingdom is playing a significant role about adopting preventive measures to secure the workforce from the risks and hazards of asbestos. Laws to prohibit the use of asbestos were first introduced in United Kingdom in 1980's. In 1999, government imposed a ban on import of any product containing asbestos. Another significant law passed was that work with asbestos containing material like insulating sheets will only be carried out under the supervision of licensed professionals. It also passed a law under which asbestos at work have a limit to the exposure of asbestos and should be managed properly. Ways to make people secure United Kingdom's legislation of 2012 has included few preventive measures in its legislation with the name "The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012." Following are the points included in legislation: Awareness about the effects on health including the effects of smoking needs to be created Products that contain asbestos must mention its amount present Significance of preventive measures need to be pointed out Organizations should be told about preventive measures that can be adopted Awareness about emergency procedures must be spread Medical examinations requirements must be highlighted Prevent Inhaling Asbestos Following measures can be adopted to prevent inhaling asbestos: While using any material that contains asbestos, directions mentioned must be followed properly to prevent the hazards If the profession involves high risk of exposure to asbestos then wearing equipment like gear and taking precautions in the work area can be very helpful Factories that manufacture asbestos must clarify the risks and dangers of the product and provide its workforce with equipment's to reduce the risk and should arrange proper checkups for its workforce. Measures to Reduce the Effects of Already Exposed Asbestos Measures that should be adopted to reduce the harmful effects of inhaled asbestos are as follows: Get yourself a complete check up Follow the doctor's prescription carefully Get the checkups done regularly because symptoms of asbestos appear after a long period of time Using preventing measures and safety devices while working with asbestos Quit smoking as it can intensify the effects of asbestos Methods to Keep Premises Secure Many commonly used areas can be a source of exposure to asbestos. These premises include, industries, commercial or public buildings, offices, schools, hospitals, markets etc. many domestic areas are also exposed to the risks of the element like lifts, stair cases, kitchens, insulating materials used in flats and buildings etc. The following methods can be adopted to keep the premises secure from the hazards and risks of asbestos: Figure out the unnecessary use of asbestos in domestic as well as non-domestic areas Presume the materials which involve the risk of asbestos present in them Keep a record of materials that contain asbestos Employers can be held responsible in the premises that contain asbestos in the workplace. It is the duty and obligation of the employer to provide a safe working environment to its workforce and they should create awareness about the risks and hazards of asbestos and provide them with adequate safety training. Employers are bound by law to provide safety measures to the workforce and they can be challenged legally for any health issue (Carrington, 2007). Thus, it is the responsibility of the employer to adopt preventive measures to reduce the hazards of asbestos in the workplace premises.(LaDou, 2004)(Mackenbach, 2002) References Barry S.

All the companies have become conscious about providing rights to their workforce because of their increased importance for the company's growth and progress. Labor rights have gained significance in the law of every country. It refers to all claimed set of legal rights that are guaranteed by labor and employment law. It has become a necessary part of the constitutions of all the countries across the globe (Cleveland, 1998). These rights have multiple forms like compensation and benefits, salary of the workforce, pension, gratuity, rewards, perks and safe working conditions. With this increased significance of the rights of workforce, labor unions have become strong and have gained the authority to change the working situation in light of these laws. These labor rights have given eminent control and authority to the workforce and worker's self-management has increased and these days' workers have a democratic voice in decision and policy making. One of the most important rights that every company obliges to fulfill is the safety of the workforce. It is considered the right of every member of the workforce to return to his house safe and sound. Preventing illness that is the consequence of the workplace safety is the duty of every organization (Stewart & Abellard, 1992). This research paper deciphers the facts and security measures that can be adopted about the workforce health risks and reputational damage linked to asbestos in company buildings. Asbestos is a set of six silicate minerals that are being used frequently in buildings. Inhaling the fibers of this mineral for a long period of time can result in illness. It can cause many diseases like lung cancer, mesothelioma and many other diseases (LaDou, 2004). The use of this mineral in the construction of buildings became popular in 19th century because of its multiple advantages like its property to absorb sound, its resistance to fire, it economical price and its tendency to increase tensile strength. Despite of its multiple advantages, it can cause serious health problems. This paper chiefly focuses on the role played by Europe and United Kingdom's market to prevent the workforce health risks and reputational damage linked to asbestos in company buildings.

How Fixed Wireless Access Is Changing Gaming Acceleration

At its headquarters in Riyadh, Zain KSA, a prominent Saudi digital service provider, successfully carried out the first joint verification of Fixed Wireless Access Gaming Acceleration in partnership with Huawei. This proof of concept (POC) ushers in a new age of distinctive wireless home internet experiences by correctly identifying gaming services and successfully ensuring user experience and perception.

One method that expands fixed broadband connections is called Fixed Wireless Access. In order to give residential users network access, it uses Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) to collect mobile signals from 5G base stations and transform them into Wi-Fi. Given Saudi Arabia’s distinct topography and abundance of indoor entertainment choices, Fixed Wireless Access immediately attracted a sizable household user base when it first entered the market. It provides quick and easy network connections while addressing the difficulties associated with implementing conventional fixed-line fiber optic networks.

According to statistics, there are more than 25 million gamers in Saudi Arabia, and their needs for a high-quality home gaming network are growing. A targeted improvement to the present FWA solution is the Gaming Acceleration feature, Service Turbo, which was jointly confirmed by Zain KSA and Huawei. The proof of concept effectively showed that the gaming service’s fast speed and low latency were effectively ensured under full network load (simulated using SpeedTest), with a 90% decrease in latency and a 70% decrease in jitter in comparison to situations without this feature.

The slicing or dedicated bearer is the main method used to implement the Service Turbo technology. Accurately detecting gaming traffic, Huawei 5G CPE Pro 5 attaches the game slicing or initiates the creation of dedicated bearers in the Huawei Core Network and RAN. This guarantees that network resources are scheduled and allocated for gaming traffic in a priority manner. This innovation helps Zain KSA provide new possibilities to home broadband users in the market by improving and guaranteeing the gaming experience while also properly and logically allocating the limited network resources.

The Fixed Wireless Access Service Turbo was introduced with the goal of improving the game experience by successfully resolving issues like latency and network instability. This cutting-edge service will provide users with unique experiences, demonstrating its dedication to satisfying the changing needs of a changing digital environment.

Zain KSA has continuously followed its Fixed Wireless Access strategy plan. Zain KSA continues to lead FWA innovation with the expansion of multidimensional network capabilities from 5G to 5G-A, satisfying consumers’ unique network needs and establishing a new standard for the uptake of wireless home internet in the Saudi market and beyond.

What is fixed wireless access?

Without the need of physical cables, fixed wireless access (FWA) is a wireless technology that offers high-speed internet access to a designated area. Fixed Wireless Access, also referred to as fixed wireless internet, connects a customer’s location to the internet using radio waves.

Fixed Wireless Access is an economical and effective substitute for conventional telephone or cable connections. It’s perfect for businesses without standard broadband or for reaching underserved or remote areas. In the event of a network failure, FWA can also be utilized as a backup solution.

FWA uses several subscriber units dispersed over a large region and a base station linked to a fixed network. Customers can connect to the network by using radio waves to communicate with the subscriber units from the base station. Typically, rooftop antennas installed on fixed objects like buildings or poles establish the radio waves.

Although Fixed Wireless Access is compatible with both 4G LTE and 5G technologies, 5G FWA is especially useful due to its fast speeds and low latency, which are on par with fiber optic connections.

Fixed wireless access architecture

Fixed wireless access (FWA) architecture is a system that links residences and commercial buildings to the internet via radio waves:

The base station

A stationary network-connected station that uses radio waves to communicate with subscriber units

Units of subscribers

Wireless devices that function as tiny cell towers are dispersed across a wide region.

Equipment on Customer Premises (CPE)

A device that receives data from the base station and is installed either inside or outside a residence or place of business

Modern

An apparatus within the structure that transforms the CPE signal into Wi-Fi for numerous devices

What Is Fixed Wireless Internet?

Fixed Wireless Access is an easy-to-use solution that doesn’t need any wire or drilling. Because it’s inexpensive and easy to execute, it’s a fantastic choice for companies that relocate regularly. In rural areas or places with unpredictable weather, FWA can also be utilized as a backup to wired networks.
