Within your company's HR department, potential Y2K landmines may be waiting to explode. Anything and everything from payroll and the recording of stock options to healthcare eligibility and records of 401(k) contributions could be affected by the infamous and impending millennial computer glitches. Are you prepared to avert potential catastrophe? The authors list the types of glitches in HR systems that might open a company to employee lawsuits and what HR directors can do ensure, as far as possible, that both internal and external human resources systems are Y2K compliant. The authors add that companies cannot rely on insurance to protect them against Y2K failures. Therefore, they must document their HR compliance efforts and develop contingency plans for dealing with unforeseen Y2K problems.

Laboratory investigations of optical characteristics of three standard Dobsons provide real wavelength settings and slit functions. These parameters were compared with the original values given in the manuals. The differences between real and nominal values are not too large, but their application will in any case improve the quality of the total ozone column measurements in the global network. This improvement was the main objective of the ATMOZ project funding these activities. ; This work has been supported by the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP) within the joint research project EMRP ENV59 ATMOZ "Traceability for atmospheric total column ozone". The EMRP is jointly funded by the EMRP participating countries within EURAMET and the European Union.

The paper makes a convincing case that the Brewer network is capable of detecting enhanced SO2 columns, as observed, e.g., after volcanic eruptions. For this reason, large volcanic eruptions of the past decade have been used to detect and forecast SO2 plumes of volcanic origin using the Brewer and other ground-based networks, aided by satellite, trajectory analysis calculations and modelling. ; This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 654109.
