India Will End Bottom Trawling: SL
By P K Balachandran - COLOMBO
Published: 23rd January 2014 08:29 AM
Last Updated: 23rd January 2014 08:29 AM
India has agreed to phase out, within a given time-frame, illegal and destructive methods of fishing like bottom trawling, in the waters between India and Sri Lanka. This will be done while systematically addressing the affected fishermen's livelihood problems, in active association with Sri Lanka. This was among several decisions taken at a joint meeting of high-level officials of the two countries, a day after the fisheries ministers of India and Sri Lanka — Sharad Pawar and Rajitha Senaratne — met in New Delhi on January 15.
Speaking to media representatives here on Wednesday, Senaratne said that the six-member high-powered panel, comprising three top officials from each country, decided to work out ways of ensuring the livelihood of fishermen of the two countries through sustainable fishing.

India outplayed Nepal 2-0 in an international football friendly here today with captain Sunil Chhetri scoring a goal to become the country`s most prolific striker in national colours.
Dempo striker Jeje Lalpekhlua will replace an injured Dawson Fernandes in the 21-member Indian football squad for the two International friendlies.
National football team coach Wim Koevermans has announced his squad of 21 players for India`s two international friendlies which are scheduled to be held this month.
Indian football coach Wim Koevermans did not say in as many words that Nepal were the better side in today`s group match of the SAFF Football Tournament which his side lost 1-2, but insisted his players have achieved their goal of reaching the semifinals.
A last gasp goal by Robin Singh in their shock 1-2 loss to Nepal carried India into the semi-finals, thanks to their win against Pakistan after the two teams were tied on goal difference at the conclusion of the group phase of the SAFF Cup football tournament on Thursday.
Listless so far in the tournament, defending champions India take on hosts Nepal in their last group match with a semifinal berth at stake in the SAFF Football Championships here on Thursday.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, in a phone call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Saturday, stressed that investigators must get full access to the site of the Malaysia Airlines crash in Ukraine, the State Department said.
Kerry told Lavrov the United States is "very concerned" over reports that the remains of victims and debris from the site of Thursday's crash have been removed or tampered with, the department said in a statement.
Kerry said Washington was also concerned over denial of "proper access" to the crash site in eastern Ukraine for monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and international investigators, the statement said.

On January 15 2014, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) launched a new Offshore Tax Informant Program, or OTIP, under which awards may be paid to individuals providing information to the CRA about major incidents of international tax non-compliance.
This programme was first
announced in the 2013 federal budget. Details about the
programme are posted on CRA's website. A similar measure
previously implemented in the US, the Internal Revenue
Service's Whistleblower Office, has resulted in significant and
highly publicised awards.
It appears that the design of the OTIP has been particularly
influenced by the earlier IRS programme. However, there are a
number of notable differences between the two:
There is also a broad exclusion for persons convicted of
certain offences involving fraud against the government or
bribery of government officials, apparently whether or not the
conviction is related to the disclosed tax non-compliance. This
broad exclusion is interesting given that at least one
prominent awardee under the IRS programme was convicted of
conspiracy to defraud the US, and therefore may not have been
eligible for an award had he been under the OTIP.
The restriction of OTIP to situations of international tax
non-compliance is consistent with several other government
initiatives, including in the recently released 2014 federal
budget, which indicate a particular focus on perceived
international tax abuses. Whether the programme will ultimately
pave the way for a broader tax informant programme in the
domestic context remains to be seen.

Wine by the keg may soon be legal in Florida
Send this to a friend
- Staff Tampa Bay Business Journal
The Florida Legislature may revisit a law limiting the amount of wine sold in an individual container to one gallon, as advocates would like to see the advent of wine in a keg.
The House sponsor of the bill, HB 623, Rep. Frank Artiles, R-Miami, told the Tampa Bay Times that the new law, which passed the House with a unanimous vote in March, will "eliminate Prohibition-era rule," and ease processing. Some of the reasons suggested by supporters include the fact that kegs could allow businesses to more easily sell large quantities of wine by the glass, kegs can replace bottles for environmental purposes and that wine would remain fresh longer. The bill is now on its way to the Senate, the Times said.
Florida would follow in the steps of 48 other states that have already incorporated the law in their system permitting wine sale in large containers. Across the U.S., restaurants, bars, vineyards and hotels have already taken advantage of the law, the Times said.
Restaurateurs are some of the biggest advocates for changing the law, saying that the current process forces waiters to needlessly uncork dozens of bottles for wine by the glass sales.
"The first glass is going to be the same as the last," said Atlanta restaurant owner Todd Rushing, who told the Times he has had a wine keg tapped for as long as six years. "It's really in a state of suspended animation."

Police have named the man killed in a three-car crash south of Levin.
Graham William Perry, 76, died in the crash on State Highway 1, Ohau, yesterday afternoon.
He had been taken to Wellington Hospital by the Palmerston North rescue helicopter after the crash at about 2.15pm, but did not survive.
Firefighters had to extract two people from two of the crashed vehicles. Three others – two women and a man – were in a stable condition in Palmerston North Hospital.
The police's preliminary investigation suggested that a north-bound Toyota Hilux crossed the centre line and crashed into a south-bound Suzuki Swift before colliding with a BMW.
Meanwhile, the crash is being cited as a reminder of why the all-but-approved next stage of the Kapiti Expressway is needed.
An independent board of inquiry has released its draft decision on the planned Peka Peka to Otaki expressway.
In an unanimous decision, the board granted provisional resource consent for the 13-kilometre, four-lane stretch of road that the NZ Transport Agency wants to build.
Kapiti Mayor Ross Church said crashes and road blockages were common on the stretch of highway, particularly on Friday afternoons and long weekends.
"You get people that insist we don't need this new expressway but, by jove we do," he said.
While the crash was north of where the expressway would end, it was a timely reminder that "the current road is just not adequate and it just doesn't work", Mr Church said.
The new road would bypass the Otaki town centre but the council had ensured there would be adequate access routes.
Now the draft decision has been released, only minor or technical aspects of it can be challenged before the board releases its final decision in February.
While the draft decision comes with pages of requirements NZTA must meet, none are expected to be a major hurdle.
The expressway is part of the Wellington Northern Corridor, a road of national significance that will eventually stretch from Wellington Airport to Levin.
NZTA spokesman Anthony Frith said the agency planned to begin construction in 2016, with a time frame of about two years.
The first stage of the Kapiti Expressway - a $630m project between McKays Crossing and Peka Peka - received resource consent this year.
Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the crash to contact Palmerston North Police on (06) 351 3600. Information can also be provided anonymously to the organisation Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Jan. 27, 2013 (LBT) - MV Amina, Iranian-flagged cargo ship that escaped Sri Lankan waters after weeks of detention has arrived back in Iran, shipping sources revealed.
Despite attempts by the naval forces to stop the vessel from leaving Sri Lankan territorial waters, the ship had sailed away in rough seas.
After slipping away from Sri Lankan waters, MV Amina disappeared from ship-tracking systems off the southwest coast of India, and had arrived back in the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas on Friday.
The vessel was under detention in Sri Lanka on a court order obtained by Germany's DVB Bank to recover debts it said had been unpaid.
Shipping sources said that MV Amina had dropped anchor between two other ships, which DVB Bank has previously tried to seize.
MV Amina, formerly called Shere, is managed by Tehran-based Rahbaran Omid Darya Ship Management, which the European Union and United States have said is a front for Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL), Iran's biggest cargo carrier.
IRISL has faced Western sanctions for years based on accusations of transporting weapons, a charge it denies.
MV Amina was seized in December after DVB obtained an order on December 12 from the Colombo High Court to hold the vessel. Court documents showed that DVB Bank sought to recover millions of dollars in unpaid debts.
MV Amina is one of four Iranian bulk ships DVB Bank had been trying to seize. An Iranian-owned dry bulk ship called Uppercourt has been held in the northern Chinese cargo port of Qinhuangdao since November.
Two other vessels that DVB Bank has previously tried to seize, the Tongham and Artin, are also anchored off Bandar Abbas, a key Iranian port near the Strait of Hormuz.
The Artin, previously called Vobster, sailed away from Qinhuangdao in early November, arriving back in Iran in mid-December.
IRISL has tried to dodge sanctions by changing its flags, ship names, and setting up front companies, the U.S. Treasury and the EU have said.
Profits, shareholder expectations no longer the only objectives, says Suresh Shah
Nov. 27, 2014 (LBT) - In today's corporate environment, making profits and meeting shareholder expectations are no longer the only objectives. Today, the process of wealth creation is measured, not just in terms of return on investment, but also in terms of a corporate's impact on society and the environment. Indeed the triple bottom line – profits, planet and people – is here to stay, said Suresh Shah, Chairman of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday. Delivering his speech at the Best Corporate Citizen Sustainability Awards 2014 ceremony in Colombo, where Dr Subir Gokarn, an Economist and a Former Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India was the keynote speaker and Hilmy Cader, CEO of the MTI Consulting attended as the guest of honour, Mr. Shah said that in 2004, the Ceylon Chamber initiated the Best Corporate Citizen award to encourage and recognize those corporates that adopted the triple bottom line approach to wealth creation. During the formative years, the award was skewed towards a corporate responsibility platform. However, as the name suggests, the award now goes beyond CSR to encompass sustainability, which is the triple bottom line. Following are excerpts of his speech: This evening marks the 11th consecutive year in ... Read more
Promoting commercial ties most rewarding, says High Commissioner John Rankin
Nov. 23, 2014 (LBT) - "As British High Commissioner I have many tasks in representing the United Kingdom's interests here in Sri Lanka. But one of the most rewarding tasks is the promotion of the commercial relations between our two countries," said John Rankin, High Commissioner of the United Kingdom in Sri Lanka. Addressing the session on Bilateral Trade Between Sri Lanka and U.K that took place on November 29 October at the National Chamber of Commerce, he said that promoting commercial relations and helping to increase bilateral trade between the UK and Sri Lanka is one of his key objectives. "The rapidly growing markets of Asia, which include Sri Lanka, present strong opportunities for British businesses. And British businesses, with their experience, expertise and strong track record in innovation, can in turn match the needs of the market here. A strong commercial relationship is a win-win for both of our countries in building growth, employment opportunities and prosperity," he said. Following are excerpts of the British High Commissioner John Rankin's address at the National Chamber of Commerce: UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) and what do they do?

Making liquid milk dream a reality
By Dharman Wickremaratne Nov. 17, 2014 (LBT) - Many might still remember the milkman bringing fresh milk to households in the morning and ringning his bicycle bell. This was a time when children enjoyed fresh milk. But today it is not the same situation. There is neither fresh milk nor a milkman. We no longer hear his bicycle bell. Everything has been stamped under the jackboot of certain multinational milk powder corporations and buried in the sands of time. They introduced milk powder to Sri Lanka in 1927. At first they were generous enough to distribute powdered milk free through hospitals. It can be likened to multinational corporations selling wheat flour after giving CARE (Cooperative American Relief Everywhere) biscuits free to school children for years. At the beginning in 1927 the multinational promoters of powdered milk claimed that it was nutritious for children. Thereafter they propagated the view that milk powder was good for lactating mothers. This campaign began with advertisements in colour published in the Sandaresa and Dinamina newspapers in January 1936. Among the well-known brands of baby milk powder at the time were Cow & Gate and Lactogen. Thereafter in 1945, it was said that milk powder was good for everyone ... Read more

Yeah. It's the unsexiest word in the world, isn't it? So is tribadism. Who comes up with these terms? Anyhoo… moving swiftly on. How to do it:It's a basically dry-humping (I know, yet another unsexy word) only it's not so dry if you do it right. You rub your vulva against a preferred body part of your girlfriend or wife. Wrists, knees, thighs, hipbones, ankles… anything goes. The award goes to vulva on vulva action, of course. Just remember when you rub your ladybits together you are at risk of contracting STIs.The pros:It's all about the clitoral stimulation so your orgasm is bound to be explosive. It's non-penetrative, and therefore not so intimidating. You can do it any time of the month. It's intimate and allows for a lot of kissing, stroking etc. Do you have any other fun lesbian sex positions to share? Tell us in the box below.

TAMPA -- The eye-candy aspect of Bruins rookie Tyler Seguin's game is obvious. He has speed through the neutral zone, an unmistakable gift when it comes to splitting defenseman and a harder shot than you'd think. He's fancy and he can score highlight-reel goals.
The Eastern Conference finals has been a coming out party for Seguin, but it isn't the ability to score that has emerged out of thin air. That's been there all along. Now, the ability to play in the NHL is creeping out of the Ontario native, and the little things that he never seemed to do are suddenly there.
Look at Andrew Ference's goal in the third period of Thursday's 2-0 Bruins' win in Game 2. One should be inclined to give Seguin very little credit given that he was initially wrongfully credited with the goal, but the shift showed one of the "little things" that Seguin wasn't doing earlier in the season. With the puck along the boards, Seguin held onto it and drew a pair of Lightning players onto him before sending the puck low to Chris Kelly. From there, Kelly sent it behind the net to Michael Ryder, who fed Ference for the tally and the game's final goal.
It was the kind of play Seguin wouldn't have made a few months ago, and just the play that would have proven Claude Julien right in limiting his minutes. Now, it's a play that he makes and nobody gives it a second look.
"That's what you get from playing with the puck more on your stick, and getting more confident and more poised," Seguin said Friday after the team's practice at St. Pete Times forum. "I feel like I'm able to make those plays now. Before, I was a little bit more jumpy and now I think I can settle it down and make those types of plays."
Seguin fanatics who feel better about their No. 19 tattoos with each goal he scores won't see the four-point periods that often. They won't always see Seguin making Mike Lundin look foolish, as he did in Game 1, but the things that don't make the highlight reels will make him every bit as much a difference-maker as the flashy plays. It's something that he's beginning to realize, and perhaps something that comes with a goal-scorers' rush from three goals in six periods.
These are things that certainly weren't there when Julien cut back on the rookie's ice time in the regular season. The Ference goal in Game 3 stands out because earlier in the season one could count the times Seguin got rid of the puck way too quickly on one hand, assuming the hand had more than 50 fingers. Words of encouragement from the rookie's partner in crime may have helped that change.
"It has to do a lot with confidence," Michael Ryder said. "I told him, 'Just skate and hold onto the puck and make plays. You don't need to throw it away.' I think that he's doing that. I think it has a lot to do with confidence, and he learned a lot this year. It helps when you hard away from the puck. He's been doing all of that and it's paying off for him."
While the rookie shows signs that he's getting the hang of a higher level of play, nobody who has followed his career should be surprised. Seguin was the ninth overall pick in the OHL draft back in 2008, but was buried on the depth chart in favor of older, more experienced players. He made minimal impact as a fourth-liner in his first year with the Plymouth Whalers, scoring just one goal in his first 17 games. When Mike Vellucci, the very man who drafted him, took over as head coach during the season, Seguin became a top-six guy, and once he got going he developed into the prospect that made him the top-ranked player in the 2010 draft.
"I guess you can look at it like that," Seguin said. "It's definitely a different stage, but I think I take time to adapt. Once I do, I try to grab a hold of it and run with it."
Of course, Seguin still gives reminders that he's a rookie and that he's still adjusting to the physical aspect of the game. He's sticking his nose into the action more, but a clear-cut case of physical reluctance occurred a little more than five minutes into the third period. With Marc-Andre Bergeron playing a puck in the corner, Seguin seemed hesitant to take the body before Ryder came flying in to crush Bergeron.
Although nobody will ever mistake Seguin for being a physical player, the effort – that third-period play aside – seems to be there more. You'll still see instances of the 19-year-old slowing down as he races a player for the puck to avoid being the first man there and receiving the hit, but those moments come far more rarely. It seems clear enough that there's been an effort made on his part to eliminate what has been his most obvious criticism.
"When I came in the lineup and was given the opportunity, I didn't want to just put results up, I wanted to do the whole package," Seguin said Friday, adding that "it's not always about results, especially when you get the win."
Added Ryder: "He's starting to battle more, he's throwing hits and I think he's getting physically involved. That's what we need out of him, and that's how he gets into the game a little more. It's just a different aspect that he's learned this year to put in."
Whatever Seguin has done to keep himself in all areas of the game, it's working. The confidence that's accompanied this scoring has allowed him to start doing the things that he didn't have to do in the OHL, and therefore didn't do when he first came to Boston.
"It's confidence. And he's gotten used to playing our game now. And you've got to remember last year, this guy was such an elite player in junior hockey that he just went out there and played," Julien said. "As a coach, when you have a player like that you let him play.
"Once he got here, he understood that he can't just go out there and play and just be all over the place. He's really understanding what has to be done at this level and the choices of plays he has to make in certain situations. And did a great job at keeping that puck. And he did the right play obviously putting it behind the net."
Yet through all that Seguin has started to show the Bruins, there's one thing in particular that his coach has seen that proved he has a gift unlike any player on the ice.
"I was impressed with that 30-foot stick of his when he tipped that goal in, I guess," Julien said with a grin, poking fun at the scorer's decision to initially credit Seguin with Ference's goal. "That was even more impressive."

Met-Ed in tree tussle with Wyomissing residents
Updated On: Sep 27 2012 04:50:08 AM CDT
A feud over trees is brewing in Wyomissing.
Some residents say the trees around their homes are in danger of being chopped down.
But Met-Ed officials say it is all about ensuring safety.
Marlene Koval is one of those residents not happy about the possible future of her Wyomissing property where she has lived for more than 35 years.
Eleven of Koval's trees have a red X at the base. Koval says these trees are scheduled to be torn down.
"They're knocking down all of my pine trees that gave me some privacy and eliminated a little bit of the noise," said Koval.
It's all part of Met-Ed's effort to comply with federal and state regulations requiring that trees be kept away from transmission lines.
Officials say they will be targeting Wyomissing, especially in the Birdland section near areas like Farr Road, as well as Meadowlark Road, where tree branches can be seen wrapping around power lines.
"We have to remove trees that are in the right of way, trim trees on the edge of the right of way so they don't come in contact with our wires or conductors," said Scott Surgeoner, Met-Ed spokesperson.
Officials say keeping a clear path for transmission lines has to do with safety prevention. They say when trees come in direct contact with power lines they could cause fires or power outages.
But neighbors have decided to fight back.
Dan Castellani, who lives in Wyomissing, says in two days he obtained about 200 signatures from neighbors protesting the removal of trees.
"Right away [people] were happy to sign, because they felt the same way about trees," said Castellani.
Met-Ed officials say they are working with residents by offering vouchers to purchase plants that would not pose a danger to power lines.
Meanwhile, Marlene says Met-Ed officials are scheduled to visit her home again to review the fate of her trees.
"We went through the expense years ago to put these trees in," said Koval.
"Again, it's all about reliability for our customers' safety," said Surgeoner. "We want to make sure we do things right for the trees as well."

R&R Climate Control's staff of insured and bonded technicians specializes in keeping homeowners comfortable by servicing and maintaining a variety of climate-control systems. In addition to installing, furnaces, air-conditioning units, and humidifiers, the techs perform checkups to make sure that those same systems are functioning properly within the home. Seasonal cleanings and duct-work installations round out the menu of services, which includes options for residences as well as commercial structures.
Depending on the service, Totally Clean's trained and certified technicians descend upon carpets, upholstery, air ducts, and messy rooms to whisk away the unwanted allergens, spots, stains, and dirt that foul up a house. Paying close attention to manufacturer recommendations and warranty requirements, techs employ purifying techniques such as steam cleaning, speed drying, and nontoxic solutions to clean carpets. Additionally, the shop's duct techs improve domestic air quality and lower utility bills by clearing out a home's sinuses. They draw out the dust, animal dander, mold spores, bacteria, and family secrets that lodge in heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems. Totally Clean's crews scrub bathrooms and kitchens during housecleaning visits, and its reassuring fixer-uppers stand by 24/7 to answer calls for emergency flood response or just to give free phone estimates and whispered words of affirmation.
Guests at Lavish Salon-Spa are treated with more than just a friendly hello when they arrive. After walking through the doors, clients can enjoy a healthy snack and cup of coffee or tea from the refreshment bar, while a friendly staff member dispels tension with a relaxing hand, neck, or foot massage. And the massage is only the beginning. From there, a hair designer, esthetician, or nail tech takes the reins and treats guests to a stylish look fortified by Goldwell products, a Dermalogica facial and a swift waxing treatment, or a mani-pedi topped off with vibrant China Glaze polish.

it looks like a french opening but it also seems like queen pawn game. or even the slav
the queens gambit declined?
Depends on what white does. The french, queen's gambit family, and caro family... yeah it's all the same basic (pawn) structure. Black pawn on d5, breaks on e5 and c5.
transposition to queen's gambit declined
Pretty much. If white follows 1.d4 e6 with 2.c4 and black plays 2...d5, then it's a Queen's Gambit Declined. If white follows up with 2.e4, then it becomes a French defense after 2...d5.
I think its similiar to the french if not the french defense, but he moves it in a different order.
He means 1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6, I think, which is the basic Queen's Gambit Declined. Black has many options going forward, including the Tarrasch Defense, the Semi-Tarrasch, the Cambridge Springs, the Semi-Slav, the Orthodox, Lasker's Defense, and the Tartakower Defense - and others, depending on White's choices.
estragon thank you! You gave the best answer. Now what would the best attack be?
Now what would the best attack be?
Forgetting everything about it, and learning the game fundamentals.
His 'best answer' was the same thing the rest of us posted: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 or 1.d4 e6 2.c4 d5 are both the Queen's Gambit Declined.
And as far as attacking, we don't even know if he means from the white or black side yet heh.
Hm, just what I was thinking...
IM Pfren what would be the game fundamentals?
Ya gotta have style, lads.
He means to forget worrying about opening lines and just learn the game. The basic principles will get you through the opening for now.
Study tactics and learn the basic endgames first, openings later.
Once again you gave the best answer.
OK I will give try this as I have been plateauing (is this decent English??) for a while, despite a generally better opening... Thanks Estragon

Swingtown: Heatwave
That would seem to be the motto for Swingtown. It is all about relationships. On the marriage front, Tom and Trina's open marriage, which has been the model for marital bliss till now, has hit the rocks. Okay, maybe not the rocks, but there have been some rough waters.
Saturday Morning: U.S. of Archie - VIDEOS
As we are in the midst of a long July 4th weekend, I thought it would be a good time to talk about a cartoon that combined an animated singing group with a bit of American history. I speak about The U.S. of Archie. Premiering during the 1974-75 season, this Saturday morning cartoon not only continued the long-running Archie franchise on television, but it also grabbed onto the coattails of the upcoming American Bicentennial.
U.S. of Archie featured Archie Andrews, Reggie, Jughead, Betty Veronica, and the rest of the kids from Riverdale High as they re-enacted many famous events from American history. Some of the topics covered during the series were the Underground Railroad, the Gold Rush, the writing of the Star-Spangled Banner, and the invention of the telephone, Plenty of historical figures were featured, including Benjamin Franklin, George Washington Carver, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and Teddy Roosevelt.
Swingtown -- An early look
Swingtown reminded me of Knots Landing meets Boogie Nights with a dollop of The Stepford Wives thrown in there, too (maybe it was those scenes in the supermarket). Superficially, there are elements of Swingtown, in particular the attention to detail in the production design and music, that are as spot on for 1976 as Mad Men was for 1960. When you see that pop-top can of Tab, you can't help but go back in time.
CBS gives Swingtown a whirl

Explanatory models and mental health treatment: is vodou an obstacle to psychiatric treatment in rural Haiti?
ABSTRACT Vodou as an explanatory framework for illness has been considered an impediment to biomedical psychiatric treatment in rural Haiti by some scholars and Haitian professionals. According to this perspective, attribution of mental illness to supernatural possession drives individuals to seek care from houngan-s (Vodou priests) and other folk practitioners, rather than physicians, psychologists, or psychiatrists. This study investigates whether explanatory models of mental illness invoking supernatural causation result in care-seeking from folk practitioners and resistance to biomedical treatment. The study comprised 31 semi-structured interviews with community leaders, traditional healers, religious leaders, and biomedical providers, 10 focus group discussions with community members, community health workers, health promoters, community leaders, and church members; and four in-depth case studies of individuals exhibiting mental illness symptoms conducted in Haiti's Central Plateau. Respondents invoked multiple explanatory models for mental illness and expressed willingness to receive treatment from both traditional and biomedical practitioners. Folk practitioners expressed a desire to collaborate with biomedical providers and often referred patients to hospitals. At the same time, respondents perceived the biomedical system as largely ineffective for treating mental health problems. Explanatory models rooted in Vodou ethnopsychology were not primary barriers to pursuing psychiatric treatment. Rather, structural factors including scarcity of treatment resources and lack of psychiatric training among health practitioners created the greatest impediments to biomedical care for mental health concerns in rural Haiti.

Article: Acceptability and feasibility of using non-specialist health workers to deliver mental health care: Stakeholder perceptions from the PRIME district sites in Ethiopia, India, Nepal, South Africa, and Uganda.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Three-quarters of the global mental health burden exists in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet the lack of mental health services in resource-poor settings is striking. Task-sharing (also, task-shifting), where mental health care is provided by non-specialists, has been proposed to improve access to mental health care in LMICs. This multi-site qualitative study investigates the acceptability and feasibility of task-sharing mental health care in LMICs by examining perceptions of primary care service providers (physicians, nurses, and community health workers), community members, and service users in one district in each of the five countries participating in the PRogramme for Improving Mental health carE (PRIME): Ethiopia, India, Nepal, South Africa, and Uganda. Thirty-six focus group discussions and 164 in-depth interviews were conducted at the pre-implementation stage between February and October 2012 with the objective of developing district level plans to integrate mental health care into primary care. Perceptions of the acceptability and feasibility of task-sharing were evaluated first at the district level in each country through open-coding and then at the cross-country level through a secondary analysis of emergent themes. We found that task-sharing mental health services is perceived to be acceptable and feasible in these LMICs as long as key conditions are met: 1) increased numbers of human resources and better access to medications; 2) ongoing structured supportive supervision at the community and primary care-levels; and 3) adequate training and compensation for health workers involved in task-sharing. Taking into account the socio-cultural context is fundamental for identifying local personnel who can assist in detection of mental illness and facilitate treatment and care as well as training, supervision, and service delivery. By recognizing the systemic challenges and sociocultural nuances that may influence task-sharing mental health care, locally-situated interventions could be more easily planned to provide appropriate and acceptable mental health care in LMICs.Social science & medicine (1982). 07/2014; 118C:33-42.
Article: Reflechi twòp-Thinking Too Much: Description of a Cultural Syndrome in Haiti's Central Plateau.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A rich Haitian ethnopsychology has been described, detailing concepts of personhood, explanatory models of illness, and links between mind and body. However, little research has engaged explicitly with mental illness, and that which does focuses on the Kreyòl term fou (madness), a term that psychiatrists associate with schizophrenia and other psychoses. More work is needed to characterize potential forms of mild-to-moderate mental illness. Idioms of distress provide a promising avenue for exploring common mental disorders. Working in Haiti's Central Plateau, we aimed to identify idioms of distress that represent cultural syndromes. We used ethnographic and epidemiologic methods to explore the idiom of distress reflechi twòp (thinking too much). This syndrome is characterized by troubled rumination at the intersection of sadness, severe mental disorder, suicide, and social and structural hardship. Persons with "thinking too much" have greater scores on the Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory. "Thinking too much" is associated with 8 times greater odds of suicidal ideation. Untreated "thinking too much" is sometimes perceived to lead to psychosis. Recognizing and understanding "thinking too much" may allow early clinical recognition and interventions to reduce long-term psychosocial suffering in Haiti's Central Plateau.Culture Medicine and Psychiatry 07/2014; · 1.29 Impact Factor
Article: Conventional medical attitudes to using a traditional medicine vodou-based model of pain management: survey of French dentists and the proposal of a pain model to facilitate integration.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purposes of this study were to develop a pain management model using traditional medicine (TM) vodou healing methods; to survey a sample of French dentists to rate components of conventional and proposed TM vodou-based pain management model; and to assess the possibility of conventional, allopathic providers to integrate TM or complementary and alternative medicine concepts. From a set of 30 fact sheets collected from TM African healers (vodou healers), main clinical concepts and terminology were extracted. Twenty vodou-based pain management concepts were collected from an interview with a TM vodou practitioner. From this information, a 7-step vodou-based pain management model was created. A sample of 40 French dentists from Nantes, France, whose practices focused on the clinical treatment of dental pain, was surveyed to assess the importance of both TM (vodou) and conventional biomedical components. Seventy percent of the dentists sampled rated the rational components of the TM model as "very important" or "important" for pain treatment, whereas 2 other traditional concepts were considered to be "supernatural" or beyond understanding. This study showed that traditional healers used conventional concepts and conventional practitioners could use traditional concepts. This suggests that conventional allopathic medical providers have the capacity to integrate biomedical concepts and other therapeutic and explanatory models. This information may be helpful to understand and improve risk management by anticipating and preventing potential reasons for failure in TM integration strategies and to enhance communication between patients, healers, and physicians to optimize TM or complementary and alternative medicine integration.Journal of Chiropractic Humanities 12/2012; 19(1):24-35.

The Klein Bottle is a mathematical joke, a surface with only one side. Just as it's about to enclose space like a regular bottle, it curves back with a twist so the inner face merges with the outer. Suddenly inside and outside become one, like the sides of a Möbius strip.
This neat trick of geometry can't quite exist in three dimensions, since the surface has to cross through itself, but at least we can make models to see how it works. This one is 3D printed in stainless steel, with some bronze for color. It's durable, washable, and ergonomic, sized to fit the hand sweetly.
The perfect finishing touch for any math fan's kitchen, and you don't have to study geometry to enjoy it.
Yes, it really opens bottles!
