PAHO/WHO Guyana's PWR's Remarks at the Launch of the Global Decade of Road Safety 2011-2020
Good morning. I think that we need do no more than read, watch, and listen to the media in
[1] Guyana Police Force Traffic Department
The Global Decade of Action hopes to save 5 million lives, prevent 50 million serious injuries, and save US$5 trillion over the next 10 years. In the
The Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011–2020 includes a Global Plan that outlines steps to improve the safety of roads and vehicles, enhance emergency services, and strengthen road-safety management in general, including the behaviour of road users. It calls for more and stronger laws, and better enforcement of the laws that exist. The Global Plan includes measures such as the construction of bicycle and foot paths and separate motorcycle lanes, as well as improved access to safe public transportation.
Guyana has been taking action to improve road safety, including enacting laws against drinking and driving (the legal limit is 0.35 mg/ml and both the blood and breath alcohol concentration levels are used to press charges, which result in fines), riding motorcycles without helmets, seatbelt non-use, and speeding (radar guns are used). There is ongoing advocacy for automated speed enforcement (fixed radars and speed cameras at traffic lights) and better provisions on road networks for cyclists and pedestrians.
Although when we think of road safety we do not automatically think of health, it is clear that this is a public health issue, as well as one related to safety, security, and transportation, since the health sector has to deal with the effects of road crashes. For this reason, the establishment of the multisectoral National Road Safety Council was a big step forward, and the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) will be pleased to continue to support the multisectoral approach to dealing with the challenges.
PAHO/WHO has supported the school patrols program, parent and teacher training, and driver education. We have provided support to the National Road Safety Council to build its capacity and draft its strategy paper, which will be made operational through a National Road Safety Plan. We have supported a road safety campaign and are supporting an emergency room study to document the connection between alcohol misuse and road crashes in
We commit to continuing our technical cooperation with counterparts and partners from various sectors to contribute to strengthening road safety in
Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is unique about the Gore School of Business compared to other schools?
Many business schools focus only on theory, and believe that classes should only cover one subject area--accounting discusses accounting and nothing else. Other schools advertise that they are practical in nature--in other words, "if A occurs, then B is the correct response." However, the real-business world does not work like either of these. The faculty of the Gore School of Business believe that you should receive a solid theoretical foundation, balanced with plenty of practice. Understanding theory helps you understand general relationships between business events, and the practical `hands-on` application gives you an understanding of how to apply the theory in real-world situations. Faculty members spend a significant amount of time drawing connections between different subject areas as well, discussing marketing issues in accounting classes, for example. This gives you a clear understanding of how parts fit together in business.
Is this what the corporate world wants?
Faculty in the Gore School of Business meet with many different corporate advisory boards each month discussing what it is you should know and be able to do to be successful. The lists generated during these meetings are then added into the curriculum. For instance, executives have told us that you need to have several very specific skills when you graduate, such as ability to critically think, ability to communicate in multiple forms, and ability to use analytical tools. The faculty have therefore incorporated these and many other skills into various courses. While you are learning economics, for example, you will learn about these skills at the same time, meaning you graduate with strong skills in your major area, and the specific skills executives are looking for when hiring.
How long will it take me to graduate?
That depends on you. You may be a very busy person with a job and family obligations, or you may be trying to go as quickly as possible. Classes are scheduled to accommodate all situations. Many upper-division required courses are available in both day and evening sessions.
How many hours should I budget each week to be prepared for classes?
This also depends on you. Some students need more in certain classes while others need less. The best answer is this--make sure you spend enough time on your classes to acquire the skills you will need to be successful in your desired career. When you graduate, your ability to be excellent in your chosen field will be a function of how much you invest in your education. If you choose to do as little as possible, and therefore learn very little, it will show in your performance in your interviews or in your first job. On the other hand, if you invest heavily, and therefore learn a lot, you will be that much more prepared to excel in your job. Sometimes this means that you must make some sacrifices during your education given your limited time, but this also is an investment that will pay off later.
Where do graduates of Westminster get jobs?
All over the world! Graduates of Westminster College are working in top firms all over the world. Of course, your ability to secure a position with one of the world's top firms means that you need to be able to perform at the highest level. That is a function of your personal investment and the quality of your education. The faculty of the Gore School of Business is dedicated to providing you with a world-class education, if you are willing to do your part--study, apply, participate in classes, and actively seek knowledge.
Why is the Business School called the "Bill and Vieve Gore School of Business"?
Bill Gore was an alumnus of Westminster College. He met his future wife, Vieve, at Westminster. Later in life, he founded W. L. Gore and Associates, a privately-held multinational firm. One of their most recognizable products is Gore-Tex. The Gore family has been, and continues to be, very generous in supporting Westminster College, and the business school is proud to carry their name. Explore W.L. Gore & Associates.

Love after college
We have a small audience today, so I chose a less urgent letter.
Spend some time on yesterday's updates, and please help today's letter writer if you can.
Q: I recently began reading your column, and find the letters fascinating and the advice sound. This isn't really a question but rather a general concern I've had. I worry that if I do not find a partner in college, I will never find settings in which to meet someone with relationship potential.
I have always been a person who is better at having a circle of close friends. I am also not into the party scene at college, which seems to be a place where more "friends" are made. People are also pretty closed at my university, so it's hard to meet new people here too. Once I graduate, I fear it will become even harder to meet friends and romantic partners. How do you even go about it? Bar crawling until you're 30? Get them from work, which is usually a bad idea? Just cross your fingers and hope to meet them along the line? Dating websites? These prospects seem really bleak to me, and I worry about the future often.
In the letters written to you, I see at least the outward semblance of many adults with fulfilling careers, friends, and some kind of love lives. I guess my question is, how do you make this/how does this happen? I know it's different for every person, but I'd just like to know any advice you have on putting my doubts to rest. I'd really appreciate it if you answered my question, but I know you have a lot of letters to answer. Thanks!
– Where and when?
A: You might have an easier time dating after college, WAW. People are less transient, they care more about making real connections, and they're often willing to do a bit more work to keep someone around.
Rather than giving you some big pep talk about the potential of finding love after graduation, I thought it'd be helpful to give you some specific examples of how people meet after school.
I'll start by telling you how I met one of the people I dated after college, and I'll invite the Love Letters audience to do the same. Hopefully you'll get a sense of the many ways we find love in the real world.
My example: I did meet someone at work once. It started with light conversations and emails. His job was unrelated to mine, so we were able to date without panicking about what would happen in the office if it didn't work out.
My bonus example: I have friends who met through me. I went to school with one and met the other through work. I invited them to the same event. They hit it off.
Readers? Your turn. Can you tell the story of how you met someone after you left the cocoon of school? Help.
– Meredith

Ha-ha. Great.
You people are not very grateful. Read up on Snow Leopard or watch the WWDC keynote. If you have not taken any time to notice what Apple is saying about this upgrade is that it is, for the most part, an under the hood upgrade. Apple didn't have to re-write the entire Finder in Cocoa but guess what? They did. That alone is worth 30 bucks.
30 Dollars is like going out to dinner twice a week.
OMG, not only am I ungrateful, I am now officially a member of the group known as "you people." It's taken a long time. When do I get my membership card?
I've taken a lot of time to read up on what Apple has been saying about Snow Leopard. Yes, it's a lot of technical changes. Snooze.
Yes, I'll probably go for it, but I can't think of a good reason (yet) to recommend it to anyone else. Believe it or don't, most people really don't care about technical improvements. Try out "Cocoa Finder" on your average Mac user, if you want to see glazed eyes or a blank look.

Thank you ALL for your caring, your support, your assistance during Dad's last days. Your match with Barb was wonderful. I'll always remember Dad saying how comforted he was when Barb held his hand until he fell asleep one night. I think of Dad and then say a prayer for all of you.

Over 35 million people worldwide will eventually forget the names of their children, spouses and friends1. And those forgotten will witness with sadness and frustration as Alzheimer's disease slowly steals away the loved one they once knew. Alzheimer's disease and related dementias affect an alarming number of individuals across the globe, creating one of the most significant social and health crises of the 21st century. Here are the statistics behind the story:
1. Alzheimer's Disease International World Alzheimer's Report (2011)2. Alzheimer's Association Facts and Figures Report (2011)3. Alzheimer Society of Canada (2010)4. World Alzheimer's Report (2010)
It's often helpful for caregivers to know they're not alone. Given the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease, many caregivers find themselves in situations similar to others, trying to balance work and family life while also caring for an aging parent or other relative.

The demanding level of care required by someone with Alzheimer's or related dementia takes its toll on a caregiver. The prolonged and progressive nature of Alzheimer's, as well as the way memory loss and other dementia symptoms can cause an individual to need constant assistance and supervision, places enormous physical, emotional and psychological strain on the caregiver.

How to fit ceiling lights
A standard single pendant light fitting near the centre of the ceiling can sometimes leave a lot to be desired. As long as you can get to the ceiling void from above without too much disruption, it's not complicated to move a light to wherever you really need it. Alternatively, you can boost your light levels by adding extra pendants which you operate either by the existing switch or by a new one. You'll find that pre-wired lampholder-plus-flex combinations are widely available.

CEO Jim Billings wants to attract energetic, entrepreneurial talent to Stone Finch, Inc., which comprises an older division that fabricates products like piping and tanks for water and wastewater processing plants, and a much newer division that develops biochemical solutions associated with water purification. To accelerate the company's growth, Billings sets up subsidiaries to create cutting-edge technologies that can be brought to market by the biochemical solutions division. After a few years the subsidiaries have indeed produced innovative products and driven growth; however, problems are surfacing. Much of the investment in the subsidiaries has come from the old manufacturing-based "cash cow" division, which is now suffering from turnover, loss of morale, and loss of competitive position. Moreover, the solutions division -- which has absorbed numerous employees who became wealthy by developing successful subsidiaries -- is plagued by increasing polarization between the "haves" and the "have-nots."
learning objective:
To examine how resource allocations and an inequitable rewards system affect employee motivation and culture. To explore the challenges of introducing innovation into a conventional manufacturing organization. To examine the challenges of balancing an innovation strategy with ongoing operations using an ambidextrous structural design. To explore problems when acquisitions and mergers are structurally made but without an integration plan for the entire company.
subjects covered:
Business growth; Employee retention; Growth strategy; Human resource management; Innovation focused strategy; Integration planning; Leadership; Mergers & acquisitions; Motivation; Operations management; Organizational behavior; Organizational culture; Organizational structure; Recruitment; Resource allocation; Subsidiaries

Co-stars Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas gave on-lookers cat scratch fever at the Los Angeles premiere of their animated film Puss in Boots on Sunday when the pair posed together for paparazzi.
But Salma's husband Francois-Henri Pinault has nothing to worry about! Antonio was also seen posing with a cardboard cut-out of the feline firecracker Puss himself and everyone just seemed to be enjoying themselves at the event, held at the Regency Village Theater.
Antonio and Salma were also joined on the red carpet by Zach Galifianakis and Billy Bob Thorton.

The easiest and cheapest way to get prescription glasses is through the internet. You will not only have a wide selection of glasses to choose from, but making orders online will make your work easier. Here are some tips on how to buy or order prescription glasses from the internet.
Before you start your search for glasses, you'll first need an up-to-date prescription from your ophthalmologist or optometrist. It is always advised that you only use glasses that were prescribed to you by an expert to avoid causing more problems with your eyesight. If you are only searching for frames without the lenses, do a search for "fashion only" glasses. If your in Texas, visit eye doctor irving tx.
Once you've selected the frames that suit your taste the best, upload a photo of a frame with similar features as the one you are looking for and use the "virtual mirror" feature to help find the exact item you are searching for.
Once you've located the right frames for your glasses, click on the "buy this frame" button and you will be directed to the order page. You'll then be asked to key in the details on your prescription form. Be sure to enter the right values on the form to avoid buying the wrong product.
Once you've double-checked the details entered, click "add to cart" and make an order for the prescription glasses.
The internet makes the process of ordering items such as prescription glasses easy and fast. If you lead a busy lifestyle and need your glasses to carry out different activities, then it's obvious that you want to replace your glasses in the shortest amount of time. All you need to do is find a reliable website that sells genuine products and find out how much it will cost you. Shopping around the internet can help you save a lot.

Yeah, he was pretty cool, although he was as evil as sh!t.
I liked Vector Shaheed and Hashi Lebwohl they were just comical to me, though not in the normal sense.

Angus Thermopyle... After he was given the rather drastic makeover by Warden Dios and Hashi Lebwohl. The robotic version was, well, COOL (I'm sorry, no other word will do!). To top it off he actually was the only one with something like a conscience (even if it was programmed!) And Morn Hyland, well her resources, her inner strength continued to amaze me in book after book.

Got to add my 2 cents, I do not really have a favorite character, I just love all the books. I really enjoy Donaldson's writing style, the pages turn themselves for me.
