Patriots were the colonists who wanted to separate from England to form an independent nation. Some of the issues they were concerned about were 1] paying high taxes to support a government abroad that they had no part in (and the making of laws they had no part in since no colonist served in British Parliament) 2] paying higher taxes than some of the other British colonies to basically finance England's wars with France and other countries 3] (see Benjamin Franklin's essay on this topic] British prisoners sent to populate the colonies to ease prison overcrowding in England. 4] British control of American shipping/exporting -- ie: telling the colonies what countries they could and could not trade with 5] the requirement that colonists, whenever asked (more like "told") had to billet British troops who were in the colonies to keep the peace -- this means that with no notice, troops could arrive at a colonist's farm and demand food and shelter for an indefinite period. . . sometimes even taking over the homestead as a headquarters without repaying the owner.

Diazepam rectal gel is used to control seizures (cluster seizures, acute recurrent seizures, etc.) in patients with epilepsy. Diazepam is a benzodiazepine. Benzodiazepines belong to a group of drugs called central nervous system (CNS) depressants that slow down the nervous system.

Diazepam rectal (Dye-ah-stat) is the brand name used in the United States and Canada for seizure medication under the generic name Diazepam Rectal Gel. This is an emergency medication that is inserted into a person's rectum to stop the accumulation of repeated seizures.

Since risk cannot be reduced to zero, the as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) concept is often applied. How can this concep

Mumz [18]

Answer: This concept can be used to determine the acceptable level of risk, by placing the amount of risk in a given situation to balance against time, trouble, cost, and physical difficulty of taking precautions to avoid risk. If a balance is seen with risk against this variables, then the risk is acceptable.

The pitfall to applying this concept are as follows;

• it doesn't guarantee safety.

• it is always expensive, if we want to apply this principle to it best.

• it doesn't have a standard order for all kinds of risk. The application varies from risk to risk, also depending on locations of the risk.

Explanation: The ALARP principle is that risk shall be reduced as far as reasonably practicable. This means that zero risk can not be achieved. But we can achieve zero accident, using the ALARP principle.

Before we can boast for achieving ALARP, we must check if the risk is equal or less than time spent,cost, the trouble or challenge, and the physical difficulty of taking a good measure to avoid the risk. If the risk is equal or less than this variables, that means that the risk has been reduced as far as reasonably practicable.
