To handle a BSL 4 pathogen outside a BSL 4 setting.... they should have those self contained air supply space suits even if making them positive pressure is unfeasible...At least it's more enclosed than those yellow ones they use now.
At the bare minimum, there should be a clorox shower or something similar set up before they remove the suit. Removing a suit when the exterior is still contaminated is not a smart move

Isn't positive pressure for sterilised environments? It doesn't do the room any good if there is any pathogens already present. Positive pressure stops pathogens getting IN, it doesn't stop pathogens getting OUT.

Normally if you want to hire guards, it is in your home country. But if you hire guards in nation A and then order them to attack people in nation B, it is a massive can of worms for any employer who isn't a government themselves.

Bamboo barricades arise in Hong Kong
Though the police have managed to clear it the next morning in less than one hour. To be honest, the barricades were really quite impressive - one was around two stories tall, while one had the sharp end of bamboo sticks sticking out (kind of like Braveheart movie Battle of Sterling pike formation), but I thought it was a bit over the top |

To answer part of the question, the controversy 1st started when the "new" headpriest did something "shady" and then the Emperor started boycotting the Shrine afterward. As for whether other people should decide to boycott it or not is a matter of personal preference/opinion. With the exception that government officials cannot make an official visit due to separation of State and Religion (private visit is still allowed). Though this is a separate topic to the "main" debate. Quote:
I would agree it's not a big deal by itself when it's not associated with the State. But if the topic somehow comes up, then it's certainly not immune to criticism, though it may be blown out of proportion. And let's also not assume that everyone who criticize this are singling out Japan alone. I can't speak for everyone, but I think it should be more of a criticism against Nationalism in general than any particular country, though it may seem like the latter when the criticism goes overboard and gets blown out of proportion (and it IS with PRC). US forces occupying part of Syria will surely annoy Putin and gives him a taste of his own medicine. Last edited by maplehurry; 2014-10-14 at 21:02. |

BBC: Hong Kong protests: Police to investigate 'beating' video I always thought something like this would happen after the police has gone under strain for so many days. But beating up a handcuffed protester is a big no-no, and understandably, managed to stoke up the heat again. At this point, I think there must be some kind of bigger plot at work since every time the protests seem to die down a bit, someone from the PRO-ESTABLISHMENT (yep, you read that right) side manages to do something stupid to keep people returning to the streets. This police beating may be an outburst thing, but previous, there were so many incidents like cutting off arranged talks or having anti-protest thugs beating up protesters that would stir up the heat just when the protests seem to fizzle. |

Though IMO I would rather discourage this. I much rather random people not run to the Middle East to fight, even if they are technically on my side. This is reminding me too much of the crazy Crusades when random people just got together and travel across Europe only to die for nothing or worse, hurt innocents when they got there.
