With the exception of Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches, Happy Mondays had difficulty expanding their ideas into full albums, which makes the singles compilation Loads all the more useful. It contains all of the band's hit singles -- "Step On," "Kinky Afro," "Hallelujah," "Lazyitis," "W.F.L.," "Tokoloshe Man," "Loose Fit," "Bob's Yer Uncle," "24 Hour Party People," "Mad Cyril" -- plus several important album tracks, making it an excellent distillation of the band's career; as an album, only Pills 'n' Thrills provides better listening, and Loads is arguably just as good as an introduction, especially for casual fans. The first 10,000 copies of Loads included an extra disc, Loads More, a compilation of remixes making their debut appearance on CD, including Bernard Sumner's "Freaky Dancing," Mike Pickering's "Delightful," Martin Hannett's "Lazyitis," and Vince Clarke's "W.F.L."; all of the remaining mixes are by Paul Oakenfold. Since the remixes date from the height of Happy Mondays' career, they provide useful insight on the band's talents as a dance group. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Current codes and standards do not address many of the structures found in the petrochemical industry. Therefore, many engineers and companies involved in the industry have independently developed procedures and techniques for handling different engineering issues. This lack of standardization in the industry has led to inconsistent structural reliability. These reports, "Wind Loads" and "Anchor Bolt Design in Petrochemical Facilities", are intended as state-of-the-practice set of guidelines in the determination of wind induced forces and the design of anchor bolts for petrochemical facilities, respectively. These reports are aimed at structural design engineers familiar with design of industrial-type structures.

Since they were introduced in the early 20th century, vaccines have been a tremendous medical and scientific success. Today perceived as a necessity, they are so familiar to us that their potential risks are rarely mentioned.
However, the stakes are significant. Based on recommendations of health agencies, North American children receive about 48 doses of 14 different vaccines before the age of 6—double the amount prescribed 25 years earlier. Despite this extraordinary increase, few studies independent of the pharmaceutical industry have been conducted into their long-term side effects. This is a disturbing situation given the numerous toxins, including mercury and aluminum, contained in some commonly administered vaccines.
