University.] THE PROFESSORS AND THE TOWN COUNCIL. 15 -
endof the year named, a body was, for the first
time, regularly dissected in the city, after the celebrated
Dr. Archibald Pitcairn-who left a distinguished
position as a professor of medicine in the
University of Leyden, to marry a lady of Edinburgh
-had been induced to settle there, and seek a
practice. . . ,
The Doctor, on the 14th of October, wrote to his
friend 1)r. Gray, of London, stating that he was
making efforts to obtain from the magistrates subjects
for dissectiod, such as the bodies of those who
died in the ,House of Correction at Pauls Work,
and had none to bury them. We offer, he says,
I to wait on these poor for nothing, and bury them
after dissection at our own charges, which now the
town does; yet there is great opposition by the
chief surgeons, who neither eat hay nor suffer the
oxen to eat it. I do propose, if this be granted, to
make better improvements in anatomy than have
been made at Leyden these thirty years; for I
think most or all anatomists have neglected or
not known what was most useful for a physician.
The person who moved ostensibly in this matter
was Alexander Monteith, who entered the Colleg?
of Surgeons in December, 1691. He was a prominent
Jacobite, and owner of Todshaugh, now
called Foxhall, in West Lothian. He was an eminent
surgeon, and a friend of Pitcairns. The Town
Council on the 24th of October, in compliance with
his urgent request, granted to him the bodies of
those who died in the House of Correction and
of all foundlings who died at the breast.
They gave him, at the same time, a room for dissection,
with permission to inter the mutilated remains
in the College Kirk Cemetery, stipulating
that he should inter all intestines within forty-eight
hours, the rest of the body within ten days, and that
his prelections should only be in the winter season.
Though the College of Surgeons did not generally
oppose this new movement, they greatly disliked
his exclusive permission from the Council,
and proposed to give demonstrations in anatomy
as well, asking for the unclaimed bodies of those
who died in the streets, and also of foundlings.
Their petition was granted, on the understanding
that they should have a regular anatomical theatre
ready before the Michaelmas of 1697 ; but it was
not until 1705 that the Anatomical Chair was
founded in the university.
In 1703 a struggle for emancipation from the
Town Council was made by the professors. It had
-wen usual f9r the former body to appoint a day for
graduation, or laureation, as it was named in those
days. This was for the first or senior class; and to
preside at this learned ceremony a certain portion
of the somewhat unlearned civic patrons were
regularly deputed, with their robes, insignia, and
halberdiers, to at ten d.
The professors, as may be supposed, were becoming
very impatient of this yearly interference
with their internal arrangements, and perhaps imagined,
not unnaturally, that literature, science,
and philosophy, could derive but little lustre . from
the presence of men who, generally speaking, would
have ears which heard not, and understandings
which could not perceive.
Thus they bethought them of a plan whereby they
hoped to get rid of such officious visitors in all
time coming.
Accordingly, when all the professors met in the
Old College Hall, on the 20th of January, 1703,
they, as an independent faculty, adopted the following
resolution :-
The Faculty of Philosophy within the city of
Edinburgh, taking to their consideration the reasons
offered by Mr. Scott . why his magistrand class
should be privately graduated, and being satisfied
with the same, do unanimously, according to fheir
undoubfed yighf, confained in the charfer of erection,
and their constant and uninterrupted custom in
such cases, appoint the said class to be laureated
privately upon the last Thursday of April next,
being the twenty-seventh day of the said month.
Signed by order, and in presence of the Faculty, by
Robert Anderson, CZerk.
This was deemed by the Provost and bailies as
the very tocsin of rebellion, and roused at once
their wrath. A visitation accordingly followed, by
the Lord Provost, Sir Hugh Cunningham, Knight,
and the bailies, with the inevitable halberdiers, in
the library of the college on the 15th of the following
month ; there he informed the Senatus that
among many other contumacious things,. he had become
cognisant < of an unwarrantable act of the
masters of that college, viz., the Professors of
Philosophy, Humanity, Mathematics, and Church
Iiistory, wherein they assert themselves a FiicuZty,
empowered by the charter of erection to appoint,
It is difficult to know how this quarrel might
have ended, had not the Lord Advocate, as
mediator between the parties, effected a compromise,
which, however, implied a surrender of
the asserted point at issue by the four professors ;
at the same time, so resolute were the magistrates
and Council in their intention of upholding and
defending their privileges as patrms of the
university, that Bailie Blackwood, in the name of
the rest, declared that the Council of the city
would not be satisfied with the masters simply
16 OLD AND NEW EDINBURGH. [University.
passing from the pretended act of their pretended
Arcuhy, unless it. were passed from as an act wanting
all manner of foundation.
On the 5th of May, 1703, the magistrates, flushed
with triumph, ordained that Mr. Scotts class
should be publicly graduated, as of old, in the
public hall of the university, which was accordingly
done, without consulting that professor or any other
member of the Senatus Academicus.
A memorial, however, signed by the former and
the other professors, so far succeeded in soothing
the irate Provost and bailies, that they ultimately
granted him that which he had so earnestly
wished-a private graduation of his students ; but
while doing so, they took the opportunity of loftily
and sternly prohibiting the other professors, upon
their peril, to graduate any in time coming but
such as took out a certificate or diploma with the
towns seal, and poor scholars to have it gratis;
and order that all certificates make honowabk mention
of the magistrates and Council of Edinburgh
as Patrons of the CoZZege.
Some curious matters of detail occurred about
this time, when the Rev. William Carstares was
principal, in connection with the museum of
Rarities belonging to the College, on the state
of which the Council appointed a commission to
report how far the said rarities in the drawers
corresponded to the inventory thereof.
Among other things, the commission reported
that the wire-work in the presses was so wide that
studeots and others visiting the museum, by
putting their fingers into the holes, did disorder
(the contents), and possibly might embezzle, some
of them ; particularly there was wanting a coraline
substance growing upop a piece of silver, much like
unto a Spanish cob.
To remedy these mischances it was proposed
that the wires should be more close. Of two
cabinets they found that one contained the Materia
Medica in three drawers ; and as to the other, they
knew not what was in it, as it had no keys, and
they had never seen it opened. The commission
offered the further suggestion that the Rarities
purchased in the time of Mr. Hendersons father,
such as the womans horn rei with siZver, and the
skeleton, Src., be registrated and cataIogued by
The keyless cabinet was ordered to be broken
open, and found to contain only a quantity of
atheistical books, which the late principal, Dr.
Gilbert Rule, had caused to sequestrate from the
These were delivered to the librarian, with
orders that no one should be permitted to read them
without the express permission of the Town
The Humanity Class, as a separate professoiship,
was founded by the Faculty of Advocates,
who, on being voted a sum of money for the endowment
of a chair connected with their own profession,
devoted it in the first instance to the cultivation of
Latin, as the language in which the most valuable
legal knowledge was to be found; and John Ray
was the first professor, in 1597.
In 1707, on the Treaty of Union with England,
there was ratified by Parliament and in the Act of
Security an Act of 1621, bf which the Scottish
Parliament defined in ample form the rights,
immunities, and privileges of the university.
It was not until 1708 that a separate professorship
of Greek was appointed. For some twenty
years before that period the proposal to that effect
had been made, and a master actually named, who
was to teach within the college, without the rank
or salary of professor. But in the year above
named, on the 16th of June, the Town Council,
considering that as a knowledge of the Greek
tongue is a valuable piece of learning, and much
esteemed in all parts of the world where letters and
science do flourish, so they, being willing to contribute
their utmost endeavour to advance the
knowledge of that language, do judge that nothing
can more effectually promote the said end than
the fixing of a Professor of Greek in this burgh.
Consequently, William Scott, one of the regents,
was appointed.
Following Bowers History, we may give the
following condensed view of the course of study
which was introduced by Principal Rollock in
In the beginning of October the session commenced,
and lasted till about the end of the ensuing
August, when an examination of the students
took place before the Town Council and the senior
members of the college. As the younger men were
prepared for the perusal of the higher order of Latin
Classics, the most of their time was passed in reading
the most approved Roman authors, particularly
Cicero, who in those days was in the greatest
repute among the learned.
Translations from English into Latin, and nice
versa, were a regular exercise throughout the whole
session, and the common theme, as it was called,
was prescribed by the principal towards its closei.
e., the subject of a brief essay to be written in
pure Latin, affording each student an opportunity
of displaying his attainments in that language, and
knowledge of the general principles of composition.
The appointment of this subject was evidently

In last week's edition, a reporter incorrectly identified the Pewee Valley Mayor. His name is Bob Rogers, not Mike. We apologize for the error.
I wish I had included on my bucket list "sing in the street with a hobo" because I would now be able to mark that item accomplished.
While strolling the cobblestone of Vilnius, Lithuania, we happened upon an elderly gentleman. He had a long white beard and blue eyes that sparkled as he sang. His age and the fact that he had no musical instrument, save his voice, set him apart from other street musicians. He stood with outstretched hands and upturned face while singing traditional folk songs from the Baltic region.
My mother lives in LaGrange. She and my sister discovered that a bird is trapped in the building that used to be the Save A Lot.
They have called everyone they could think of and nobody (that answered their phones)is willing to do anything to get that bird out of that building.
My sister is extremely upset. I'm just angry. What is it going to take for people to get their compassion back?
Nobody cares anymore about their neighbors, kids or animals. Nobody cares.
There are several essentials which we all must possess. The first one of these is identity. We want to be known. We want people to call our names. We like to see our names in print. One of our greatest fears is the fear of anonymity. When people feel that they are nobodies (nobody knows them, nobody cares about them, nobody thinks of them) then defeat becomes very real for that person.
Over 70% of adults read their community newspapers. Are you in that statistic?
While metropolitan daily newspapers and urban television stations cover international, national and state news, along with the ocassional local story if it is sensational enough, your community newspaper focuses on the people, places and things in a very specific area.
As Mayor of the City of LaGrange, I write to correct the misinformation spread through the editorial letters of this newspaper recently. First, I have taken full responsibility for a $12,000 mistake that was made deducting a 5% cut in employee health insurance benefits and I have explained how that occurred. The buck stops with me on this and attacks on the City Clerk are unwarranted. Any questions, call me at City Hall: 222-1433.
Each of us has a personal philosophy, but few of us have defined what it is. Although you may never have sat down and defined what your philosophy is, it is operative and working in your life at all times.
It deals with what you believe about the world in which you live, about its people and events, about how events and circumstances affect you and how you affect them.

For some sports fans, tailgating is an art that they've perfected through years of practice. But throwing a great tailgate takes a lot of work, planning and organization.
Between the gear (portable grills, tables and chairs, coolers, cooking utensils, cups, plates, utensils) and the actual food needed, a great tailgate may be hard for some to pull off.
Using a product like the Deluxe Folding Outdoor Kitchen may help keep tailgaters organized and keep the party going.
This versatile camp kitchen features a large side stand for your grill, a lantern pole, a utensil rack and a storage self. Its roomy 56 by 21 by 32 inch work surface is easy to clean. The lightweight, all-aluminum leg and frame construction makes it easily transportable.
The product folds up for convenient storage in an included carry case.
One Camping World customer gave this product a five-star rating and called it "excellent."
"These things are great - I have two of them and they make a great kitchen set-up at your campsite in an L-shape, very functional," writes an anonymous reviewer. "I set my five day cooler on one lower rack and my camp stove on the other. The price here is great."

8 Easy DIY Yard Projects
NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- We tend to spend the most time out in our yard during the summer. Maintaining a well-kept yard is undoubtedly a major undertaking and a huge cost. You don't need to be a professional landscaper to spruce up your yard -- nor do you need to break the bank.
From power washing your deck to raising plant beds and building a new fence, what are the step-by-step instructions to accomplishing some of the most common yard projects?
MainStreet did some digging to find eight easy do-it-yourself backyard projects all from the design experts themselves.
1. Raising Plant Beds
Raised plant beds offer a modern and clean look. Here are some steps to get this project finished on your own, courtesy of home improvement expert Mark Clement, co-host of "My Fix it Up Life":
Step 1: Build the frames
Begin by building the top and bottom frames out of 1x2 western red cedar strips. From there, fasten two 26'' strips to two 13'' strips to form a rectangular frame. Apply some wood glue to the strips, then nail them together with a single nail (this will hold them more securely). Pre-drill the ends to keep them from splitting, then insert a screw in each corner.
Step 2: Attach side panels
Stand the two frames on their sides and apply some glue to the insides of each bottom. Attach four side panels to each long side, smooth out the sides and nail from the inside to hold them in place. Repeat on the other side of the box.
Steps 3 & 4: Attach the end and bottom panels
Next, stand the half-completed box on its end and apply more glue to the inside face of the bottom end frames. Attach two panels to each end just like the side panels and repeat on the opposite end. Attach three bottom panels to form the base of the planter box, using glue and screws. Drill several holes in the panels so water can escape.
2. Power washing Your Deck
Hosing down a decade old deck won't be enough to get the job done. That's when a power washer comes in handy. The best part is that you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars buying a power washer, since you'll only need it for a few hours. Save money by renting one at your local hardware store.
As for how to properly power wash your deck once you have the machine, expert Mark Clement says too much pressure can cause damage. "Just the right amount of power washing can brighten the space. And for a more natural look add a clear finish or dark-colored stain."
The finish will protect the deck from further wear and tear throughout the year.
3. Sanding and Staining
Some decks need more than just a power washing. The more intensive task of sanding and staining will take at least a weekend to complete, but the step-by-step strategies from Alex Roberts, president of Mr. Handyman will help give your deck the rehab it needs.
Step 1: Inspect
Examine the entire deck for chipped and peeling paint. Use a dust mask and remove loose pieces with a paint scraper or resort to renting a disc sander. If some areas are still rough, sand again with a fine-grit sandpaper.
Step 2: Clean
Prepare your deck by pressure washing it and remember to wear safety goggles. Allow the deck to dry completely.
Step 3: Stain
Latex or oil-based stain (choose one with sealant included!) can be easily applied to the floor boards with a paint roller a few boards at a time. Have a clean paint brush ready to spread the excess stain before it sets.
Step 4: Wait
Wait at least three days before walking on the freshly stained surface.
4. Flower Planters
Now that you've finished perfecting the look of your deck, it's time to decorate! "One of the easiest ways to add color and fragrance to any patio is by adding flowers as a finishing touch," says Roberts.
But Roberts tells us there are a few important factors to keep in mind when building a flower planter:
• Make sure to create holes at the bottom of the box for drainage and install a strong support system for each box.
• Select low-maintenance, colorful flowers such as coneflowers and Shasta daisies. Consider adding marigolds and bee balm to naturally repel mosquitoes.
• Ensure your potting soil is moist and leave at least two inches from the top of the planter if you want to include mulch after planting. Add your flowers and water.

Abstract: Summary Points: * In South Africa, as in other jurisdictions, ''Big Food'' (large commercial entities that dominate the food and beverage environment) is becoming more widespread and is implicated in unhealthy eating. * ''Small food'' remains significant in the food environment in South Africa, and it is both linked with, and threatened by, Big Food. * Big Food in South Africa involves South African companies, some of which have invested in other (mainly, but not only, African) nations, as well as companies headquartered in North America and Europe. * These companies have developed strategies to increase the availability, affordability, and acceptability of their foods in South Africa; they have also developed a range of ''health and wellness'' initiatives. Whether these initiatives have had a net positive or net negative impact is not clear. The South African government should act urgently to mitigate the adverse health effects in the food environment in South Africa through education about the health risks of unhealthy diets, regulation of Big Food, and support for healthy foods.

Abstract: This chapter will examine the current actions, including lifestyle measures, for the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases within a South African context. It will also focus on the biological, behavioural and social determinants of health. Interventions and initiatives directed at primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases are also discussed. This chapter ends with recommended lifestyle changes, which can be taken to influence the adoption of healthy lifestyles, and therefore reduce the risks for chronic non-communicable diseases.

Abstract: Background: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is reported to be a life-saving intervention in low-income settings. The effect of breastfeeding counselling by peer counsellors was assessed in Africa. Methods:24 communities in Burkina Faso, 24 in Uganda, and 34 in South Africa were assigned in a 1:1 ratio, by use of a computer-generated randomisation sequence, to the control or intervention clusters. In the intervention group, we scheduled one antenatal breastfeeding peer counselling visit and four post-delivery visits by trained peers. The data gathering team were masked to the intervention allocation. The primary outcomes were prevalance of EBF and diarrhoea reported by mothers for infants aged 12 weeks and 24 weeks. Country-specific prevalence ratios were adjusted for cluster effects and sites. Analysis was by intention to treat. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00397150. Findings 2579 mother–infant pairs were assigned to the intervention or control clusters in Burkina Faso (n=392 and n=402, respectively), Uganda (n=396 and n=369, respectively), and South Africa (n=535 and 485, respectively). The EBF prevalences based on 24-h recall at 12 weeks in the intervention and control clusters were 310 (79%) of 392 and 139 (35%) of 402, respectively, in Burkina Faso (prevalence ratio 2·29, 95% CI 1·33–3·92); 323 (82%) of 396 and 161 (44%) of 369, respectively, in Uganda (1·89, 1·70–2·11); and 56 (10%) of 535 and 30 (6%) of 485, respectively, in South Africa (1·72, 1·12–2·63). The EBF prevalences based on 7-day recall in the intervention and control clusters were 300 (77%) and 94 (23%), respectively, in Burkina Faso (3·27, 2·13–5·03); 305 (77%) and 125 (34%), respectively, in Uganda (2·30, 2·00–2·65); and 41 (8%) and 19 (4%), respectively, in South Africa (1·98, 1·30–3·02). At 24 weeks, the prevalences based on 24-h recall were 286 (73%) in the intervention cluster and 88 (22%) in the control cluster in Burkina Faso (3·33, 1·74–6·38); 232 (59%) and 57 (15%), respectively, in Uganda (3·83, 2·97–4·95); and 12 (2%) and two (<1%), respectively, in South Africa (5·70, 1·33–24·26). The prevalences based on 7-day recall were 279 (71%) in the intervention cluster and 38 (9%) in the control cluster in Burkina Faso (7·53, 4·42–12·82); 203 (51%) and 41 (11%), respectively, in Uganda (4·66, 3·35–6·49); and ten (2%) and one (<1%), respectively, in South Africa (9·83, 1·40–69·14). Diarrhoea prevalence at age 12 weeks in the intervention and control clusters was 20 (5%) and 36 (9%), respectively, in Burkina Faso (0·57, 0·27–1·22); 39 (10%) and 32 (9%), respectively, in Uganda (1·13, 0·81–1·59); and 45 (8%) and 33 (7%), respectively, in South Africa (1·16, 0·78–1·75). The prevalence at age 24 weeks in the intervention and control clusters was 26 (7%) and 32 (8%), respectively, in Burkina Faso (0·83, 0·45–1·54); 52 (13%) and 59 (16%), respectively, in Uganda (0·82, 0·58–1·15); and 54 (10%) and 33 (7%), respectively, in South Africa (1·31, 0·89–1·93). Interpretation: Low-intensity individual breastfeeding peer counselling is achievable and, although it does not affect the diarrhoea prevalence, can be used to effectively increase EBF prevalence in many sub-Saharan African settings.

Abstract: Primary health care (PHC) is again high on the international agenda. It was the theme of The World Health Report in 2008, thirty years after the Alma-Ata Declaration, and has been the topic of a series of significant conferences around the world throughout 2008. What have we learnt about its impact in improving population health and health equity? What more do we still need to know? These two questions framed a four-year international research/capacity-building project, "Revitalizing Health for All" (RHFA), funded by the Canadian Global Health Research Initiative, which began in 2007. The findings of a global literature review conducted by this Initiative, and focusing on comprehensive primary health care - and how it has been implemented since Alma Ata are presented. The way in which the political context has affected the comprehensiveness of PHC is considered - along with a series of proposed future PHC research areas.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE. To improve the clinical management of severely malnourished children in rural hospitals in South Africa. STUDY DESIGN. A pre- and post-intervention descriptive study in three stages: assessment of the clinical management of severely malnourished children, planning and implementing an action plan to improve quality of care, and monitoring and evaluating targeted activities. A participatory approach was used to involve district and hospital nutrition teams in all stages of the research. SETTING. Two rural Wrst-referral level hospitals (Mary Theresa and Sipetu) in Mount Frere District, Eastern Cape Province. MAIN MEASURES. A retrospective record review of all admissions for severe malnutrition to obtain patient characteristics and case fatality rates, a detailed review of randomly selected cases to illustrate general case management, structured observations in the paediatric wards to assess adequacy of resources for care of malnourished children, and in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with nursing and medical staff to identify barriers to improved quality of care. RESULTS. Before the study, case fatality rates were 50% and 28% in Mary Theresa and Sipetu hospitals, respectively. Information from case studies, observations, interviews, and focus group discussions revealed many inadequacies in knowledge, resources, and practices. The hospital nutrition team developed and implemented an action plan to improve the quality of care and developed tools for monitoring its implementation and evaluating its impact. In the 12-month period immediately after implementation, case fatality rates fell by ∼25% in both hospitals. CONCLUSION. Participatory research led to the formation of a hospital nutrition team, which identiWed shortcomings in the clinical management of severely malnourished children and took action to improve quality of care. These actions were associated with a reduction in case fatality rates. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/294 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: BACKGROUND: While the importance of promoting equity to achieve health is now recognised, the health gap continues to increase globally between and within countries. The description that follows looks at how the Cape Town Equity Gauge initiative, part of the Global Equity Gauge Alliance (GEGA) is endeavouring to tackle this problem. We give an overview of the first phase of our research in which we did an initial assessment of health status and the socio-economic determinants of health across the subdistrict health structures of Cape Town. We then describe two projects from the second phase of our research in which we move from research to action. The first project, the Equity Tools for Managers Project, engages with health managers to develop two tools to address inequity: an Equity Measurement Tool which quantifies inequity in health service provision in financial terms, and a Equity Resource Allocation Tool which advocates for and guides action to rectify inequity in health service provision. The second project, the Water and Sanitation Project, engages with community structures and other sectors to address the problem of diarrhoea in one of the poorest areas in Cape Town through the establishment of a community forum and a pilot study into the acceptability of dry sanitation toilets. METHODS: A participatory approach was adopted. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The first phase, the collection of measurements across the health subdistricts of Cape Town, used quantitative secondary data to demonstrate the inequities. In the Equity Tools for Managers Project further quantitative work was done, supplemented by qualitative policy analysis to study the constraints to implementing equity. The Water and Sanitation Project was primarily qualitative, using in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. These were used to gain an understanding of the impact of the inequities, in this instance, inadequate sanitation provision. RESULTS: The studies both demonstrate the value of adopting the GEGA approach of research to action, adopting three pillars of assessment and monitoring; advocacy; and community empowerment. In the Equity Tools for Managers Project study, the participation of managers meant that their support for implementation was increased, although the failure to include nurses and communities in the study was noted as a limitation. The development of a community Water and Sanitation Forum to support the Project had some notable successes, but also experienced some difficulties due to lack of capacity in both the community and the municipality. CONCLUSION: The two very different, but connected projects, demonstrate the value of adopting the GEGA approach, and the importance of involvement of all stakeholders at all stages. The studies also illustrate the potential of a research institution as informed 'outsiders', in influencing policy and practice. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/171 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Ever since the 2006 World Health Report advocated increased community participation and the systematic delegation of tasks to less-specialized cadres, there has been a great deal of debate about the expediency, efficacy and modalities of task shifting. The delegation of tasks from one cadre to another, previously often called substitution, is not a new concept. It has been used in many countries and for many decades, either as a response to emergency needs or as a method to provide adequate care at primary and secondary levels, especially in understaffed rural facilities, to enhance quality and reduce costs. However, rapidly increasing care needs generated by the HIV/AIDS epidemic and accelerating human resource crises in many African countries have given the concept and practice of task shifting new prominence and urgency. Furthermore, the question arises as to whether task shifting and increased community participation can be more than a short-term solution to address the HIV/AIDS crisis and can contribute to a revival of the primary health care approach as an answer to health systems crises. In this commentary we argue that, while task shifting holds great promise, any long-term success of task shifting hinges on serious political and financial commitments. We reason that it requires a comprehensive and integrated reconfiguration of health teams, changed scopes of practice and regulatory frameworks and enhanced training infrastructure, as well as availability of reliable medium- to long-term funding, with time frames of 20 to 30 years instead of three to five years. The concept and practice of community participation needs to be revisited. Most importantly, task shifting strategies require leadership from national governments to ensure an enabling regulatory framework; drive the implementation of relevant policies; guide and support training institutions and ensure adequate resources; and harness the support of the multiple stakeholders. With such leadership and a willingness to learn from those with relevant experience (for example, Brazil, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia), task shifting can indeed make a vital contribution to building sustainable, cost-effective and equitable health care systems. Without it, task shifting runs the risk of being yet another unsuccessful health sector reform initiative. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/316 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: A qualitative study with a pre- and post-intervention component was undertaken among 66 professional nurses at 11 hospitals in the Eastern Cape to assess their perceptions and attitudes towards severely malnourished children and their mothers/caregivers. Nurses' attitudes were compared before and after attending a 5-day training course to improve the management of malnutrition along with implementing World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Severe malnutrition is a major cause of death among paediatric patients in many hospitals in South Africa. A qualitative study with a pre- and post-intervention component was undertaken among 66 professional nurses at 11 hospitals in the Eastern Cape to assess their perceptions and attitudes towards severely malnourished children and their mothers/caregivers. Nurses' attitudes were compared before and after attending a 5-day training course to improve the management of malnutrition along with implementing World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Focus group discussions were conducted in isiXhosa following a semi-structured discussion guide. Three themes emerged from these discussions, i.e. blame was placed on the mothers for not giving adequate care, malnourished children were valued less than those with other conditions, and resentment that nurses felt towards caregivers. underlying reasons for negative attitudes towards severely malnourished children and their caregivers were misunderstandings of the causes of severe malnutrition, misinterpretation of clinical signs,especially poor appetite and and high mortality during treatment.However, successful application of the treatment guidelines altered these perceptions and helped nurses to have a better understanding of the causes of the presenting clinical signs. These nurses have begun advocating for raised awareness and the need to include the WHO Ten Steps of treatment in the nursing curricula and in-service training. A cadre of volunteer nurse-trainers has been formed in Eastern Cape. Experience in this province has shown that in-service training changes attitudes to malnutrition and treatment practices, as well as saving lives.

Abstract: Staff at 11 rural hospitals in an under-resourced region of Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, participated in an intervention to improve the quality of care of severely malnourished children through training and support aimed at implementing the WHO case-management guidelines. Despite similar intervention inputs, some hospitals reduced their case-fatality rates by at least half, whereas others did not. The aim of this study was to investigate reasons for this disparity. Two successful and two poorly performing hospitals were purposively selected based on their case-fatality rates, which were <10% in the successful hospitals and >30% in those performing poorly. Comparative data were collected during June to October 2004 through structured observations of ward procedures, compilation of hospital data on case-loads and resources, and staff interviews and discussions related to attitudes, teamwork, training, supervision, managerial support and leadership. The four study hospitals had broadly similar resources, infrastructure and child:nurse ratios, and all had made changes to their clinical and dietary management following training. Case-management was broadly in line with WHO guidelines but the study revealed clear differences in institutional culture which influenced quality of care. Staff in the successful hospitals were more attentive and assiduous than staff in the poorly performing hospitals, especially in relation to rehydration procedures, feeding and the recording of vital signs. There was a strong emphasis on in-service training and induction of incoming staff in the successful hospitals and better supervision of junior staff and carers. Nurses had more positive attitudes towards malnourished children and their carers, and were less judgmental. Underlying factors were differences in leadership, teamwork, and managerial supervision and support. We conclude that unless there are supportive structures at managerial level, the potential benefits of efficacious interventions and related training programmes to improve health worker performance can be thwarted.

Killer found dead on day of parole talks
10:00am Wednesday 28th August 2013 in News
A KILLER was found dead in his prison cell the day he was due to arrange a parole meeting for his freedom.
George Ireland, 56, died of natural causes in Bullingdon Prison, near Bicester, an inquest at Oxfordshire Coroner's Court heard yesterday.
He had been in jail for 26 years after being convicted of manslaughter.
The inquest heard he was found on January 31 at 5.10am on the floor of his cell at the prison.
Ireland had been an inmate at Bullingdon since December 29, 2010.
Bullingdon's head of reducing reoffending, Carol Gaskin, said: "The day he died he was due in a meeting to discuss his next parole board meeting. That was to discuss final details with the parole board."
His GP, Dr Isabel Chu, told the inquest he had a medical history of ischemic heart disease, epilepsy and high blood pressure.

Long-focus lens and telephoto lens
Do you know that there is a difference between the two? AOTBE, the ungainly long-focus lens is better but may not be very practical.
that's the opposite of retro-focus, right? long-focus lens is where the effective focal point is in front of the front element, while the retro-focus lens is where the effective focal point is behind the rear element.
All Other Things Being Equal. AOTBE.
The first is a telephoto and the second is a retrofocus wide-angle lens. Telephoto and retrofocus designs share a common property that their principle plane, from which the focal length is measured, is not within the physical dimensions of the lens. For telephoto it is somewhere in front, for retrofocus it is somewhere behind. They are actually lenses with custom built "converters". Because so much work has been done on these two designs in recent years (the purist long focus and true wide-angle designs will not sell because they are not practical) the modern telephoto and the retrofocus are as good as, but not surpass, the long focus and true wide-angle designs.
However, you gain a great deal in the modern telephoto and almost nothing in the modern retrofocus (the latter also known as an inverted telephoto) except that it is the only type of design that can be used on a slr or dslr camera.
The telephoto design has shrunk in physical dimensions and is far easier to design to the same standards as the long focus design. Not so the retrofocus wide-angle lens. That is why slr and dslr wide-angle lenses are still a poor cousin to their true wide-angle design. It is also bulky, the very opposite of the telephoto. You save bulk in one and gain bulk in another.
You can find out if your "long teles" are telephoto or long focus simply from their physical dimensions. A long focus lens is at least as long as its focal length minus your camera's lens register. Roughly, if a lens of 300mm is at least 256mm long plus your camera's register of 44mm (Canon EOS body) then it is a long focus lens. Otherwise it is a telephoto. Another giveaway is the diameter of the lens. A 300mm f/2.0 long focus lens will have a front element that is at least 150mm in diameter-a giant of a lens. At even longer focal length at fast lens speed you will need a truck to carry your long focus lenses. That is the reason why the modern telephoto is almost used exclusively today.
Ng 6 :-) It will be nice if you post example photos of "telephoto" and "long focus" lens for illustration.

Finding the right cars and/or trucks at the right price can be difficult. Buying any car is an investment and you need to ensure that you're making the best investment possible. That means you need to choose the right option amongst your area car dealers from whom to buy. Make no mistake – not all Chevrolet dealerships in the Houston, TX area are the same. Choosing the right car dealership can be a difficult thing to do, but there are a few things you can do to ensure you make the best decision possible.
Obviously, any car dealers you consider in Houston or Katy should have a decent automobile inventory. Car dealerships that have a low inventory, or that don't stock the most demanded cars, SUVs, Vans and/or trucks that interest you should certainly be avoided. Westside Chevrolet located in Katy,TX offers the best possible inventory, whether you want a Silverado or Avalanche or a plug-in electric hybrid Volt, a sporty and powerful Camaro or a Corvette or a fuel-saving Aveo or a Spark. We also carry the one of the most demanded Cruze and compact SUVs like Traverse or Equinox. Make sure that you check out the inventory for any Chevy dealership before you make a decision about working with one.
Another important consideration when choosing Chevrolet dealers in Houston, TX is whether or not they offer both new and pre-owned chevrolet cars. Buying new is certainly a great choice, but it's not for everyone. Westside Chevrolet understands that, and ensures that you have plenty of options no matter what your budget or your goals. We provide a wide range of today's top Chevy cars in both new and pre-owned condition. Our pre-owned Chevy cars have been fully inspected and reconditioned to ensure that you get the car you deserve, as well. We also carry pre-owned cars from other makes like Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Dodge, Mazda, Jeep, Chrysler or the luxury makes like BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infinity, Land Rover just to make a few. Come check out our lot to find out more on our new and pre-owned cars.
When considering Chevrolet dealers around Katy and Houston, you also need to consider whether or not they provide onsite repairs and service. Buying from a dealerships that don't have a good service center on property is never a good idea. That forces you to find somewhere else for your regular maintenance, as well as for any repairs that you need. Westside Chevrolet knows the importance of providing top-notch auto service and we're here for you at all times. Whether you need a basic oil change and tire rotation, an alignment or something more advanced like bodywork or transmission repairs.
Finally, you really need to make sure that any car dealerships you consider offers the best onsite financing. This is more important than you might believe. While many dealerships do provide dealer financing, it's not always what you expect. Finding a dealership that offers the right interest rate and instant approval for car loans is vital. You also need a dealer that provides good lending terms that suit your budget and lifestyle. Westside Chevrolet knows just how important the right financing package is, and we provide you with a range of lending options, as well as instant approval on your car loan.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska—
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to assess the environmental impacts of the Pebble Mine are now causing repercussions on Capitol Hill. The Anchorage Daily News reported this week that some congressional republicans are challenging the E.P.A's authority to rule on Pebble Mine. Some Congressman feel that Pebble is an Alaska issue, not a federal one.
But this week, the E.P.A. said that critics who challenge its authority on this issue are wrong.
The Agency says that under the Federal Clean Water Act of 1972, it has the responsibility to protect the nation's waterways. In fact E.P.A says that 13 times in the past, it has vetoed big industrial projects by invoking the Clean Water Act.
The most recent time it did so was just one year ago, when it ruled against a coal mine in West Virginia. The mine wanted to utilize a practice called, "Mountaintop Removal" to economically access a high-altitude coal reserve.
As the name implies, "Mountaintop Removal" allows the company to dynamite the peak of a mountain to free the coal inside. But in the process, the miner must dump the mine tailings -- or wastes -- into streams in the valleys below.
In 2011, the E.P.A ruled against the company, saying the tailings would pollute the streams -- in violation of the Clean Water Act.
That is the power the E.P.A is now invoking in its investigation of "The Pebble Prospect". The agency has two main concerns. Pebble is a nearly pristine watershed. And E.P.A statistics show that when hard-rock mines transport metals they mine (such as copper) -- through slurry pipelines -- there is a 98 percent chance that, during the life of the mine, there will be a spill of toxic materials into nearby streams. This sort of failure runs the risk of harming salmon habitat.
In addition, there is another risk. Even long after the mine shuts down operation, the water which passes through the massive amount of mine waste, or tailings, must be impounded. E.P.A projects that Pebble could need a 685-foot-deep tailings-impoundment pond which would have to maintain its integrity "in perpetuity". The problem is that the 2 to 6 billion tons of mine tailings (some say it will ultimately be 10 billion tons) could be acid-generating for 10,000 to 40,000 years. And acid runoff could leach toxic heavy metals into salmon streams.
There are two issues environmentalists fear with such a long-term impoundment.
First that there could be a "hydrologic failure" of the massive, water-impoundment dam. When tailings ponds have failed in the past, it is usually the result of water-build-up behind the dam creating inordinate pressures on the structure. There are concerns that with global warming, Bristol Bay could see more and more large rain events --- events could pose risks for the dam.
The Pebble Partnership says that sort of failure is not likely. It intends to build the water-impoundment pond to the very highest standards, with an annual risk of failure no greater than 1-in-a-million.
The other risk, according to environmentalists, is seismic. They point out that Alaska is home to a subduction zone -- the areas around the world that are prone to the most violent earthquakes. They also say that the Clark Fault comes to within 15 miles of Pebble, further aggravating the seismic risks.
In a recent interview with Channel 2, Pebble C.E.O. John Shively claimed that the Clark Fault fault had not been active for 1.8 million years. He also said the impoundment dam would be designed with seismic events in mind. According to Shively, an impoundment facility at a Copper mine in Chile survived the third largest earthquake in recorded history in 2010 without failing.
But, even without a catastrophic failure of the impoundment pond, critics say that even normal mining operations could endanger salmon in the region.
Bristol Bay is something of a natural wonder. It is home to the biggest wild "sockeye" run on earth. Each year, more than 37 million sockeyes return to Bristol Bay. That is 45 percent of all the wild sockeye runs on the entire planet. And those are not "hatchery" fish. They are wild salmon.
With groundwater now freely traversing the region, there is some question as to whether groundwater could pass through the site of the massive mine without becoming polluted. And those who raise these concerns point to the impressive size of the proposed mine.
Pebble is truly a mammoth project. Even under the 25-year-license that "The Pebble Partnership" is seeking, it would likely be bigger than all the hard-rock mines in Alaska combined.
And E.P.A. projects that if the mine ultimately pulls out all of the commercial-grade copper, gold and molybdenum available, it will grow -- over the course of the next century, into one of the largest hard-rock mines in all of North America.
Because the Bristol Bay Watershed is one of the last intact ecosystems on earth, the fear is that disruption of that ecosystem will harm the salmon.
Pebble denies this, saying that if the mine cannot be constructed in a way that does not harm the salmon, it will not be built at all.
In the meantime, the decision of whether the mine can be built to operate in accordance with the 1972 Clean Water Act is in the hands of the E.P.A.
The 12 scientists now charged with examining the matter have until the end of this year to write their report.
Once that is done, E.P.A. Administrators will examine their findings, and make a ruling on Pebble. A decision is expected by this time next year.
It's a decision which could trump Alaska's mine-regulating authorities even before they have a final proposal from The Pebble Partnership for the site's development.

Daniel Parslow desperate to figure in York City big play-off promotion decider
11:41am Tuesday 15th May 2012 in Sport By Dave Flett , Sports reporter
YORK City stalwart Daniel Parslow is desperate to help the club win promotion at Wembley after being overlooked in the last play-off final two years ago.
Parslow was an unused substitute as City endured a 3-1 defeat against Oxford in 2010 when Djoumin Sangare, Michael Gash and Courtney Pitt were hailed off the bench by then manager Martin Foyle instead.
But the 26-year-old utility man, who will be the longest-serving Minsterman in Sunday's squad for the Blue Square Bet Premier showdown with Luton, is hoping to play a full part this time around having started nine of the last ten matches under Gary Mills.
On the prospect of making the first XI this weekend, Parslow said: "You want to do your best for the team and go out and express yourself so, hopefully, I will get that opportunity this time around.
"I'm sure all the lads on the bench and in the stands, as well as the 11 starting, all want the same thing but obviously, as a footballer, you want to be out there showing everyone you are doing your best to get the club back into the League."
Parslow has flitted between playing in the back four and as a midfield anchorman in recent weeks and admitted he would feel comfortable filling either role against the Hatters, adding: "I'll let the gaffer decide on that one if he has to.
"I would just be happy to do whatever job he sees fit and will do my best.
"I've been getting a bit excited spraying passes about in midfield but maybe, if I play there on Sunday, I will keep it simple and just pass it to somebody who can play, like Paddy (McLaughlin)."
Currently in his sixth season at Bootham Crescent and, having been at the club when Mills' predecessors Billy McEwan and Foyle both saw their tilts at play-off glory end at the semi-final and final stage in 2007 and 2010 respectively, Parslow believes the current group of players have a team spirit that can make Sunday a matter of third time lucky.
Mills has worked hard to keep a big squad of evenly-matched players content and Parslow, who, left, had only started two league games prior to Christmas, said: "Like every manager, the gaffer has got his own style but one of his great strengths is making everyone pull together.
"He makes everybody strive for the same thing and, hopefully, we can use that dressing room spirit to get over the finishing line. We've used a lot of players this season and the squad has been stretched to the limit but everybody who has put a shirt on has put in a shift for the team and pulled their weight.
"We are proud of what we have achieved so far and need to make sure we finish the job off now."
City take an unbeaten record this term of three wins and one draw against FA Trophy semi-final opponents Luton into Sunday.
In terms of total non-League meetings between the sides over the last three seasons, the Minstermen have also won six and drawn three of the ten matches.
But Parslow believes Saturday's 2-0 FA Trophy final victory over Newport under the famous arch will carry more significance this weekend than the two teams' previous clashes.
He said: "Those games against Luton will count for very little now. It's a cup final and a one-off game.
"We can say we've done really well against them this season but it's down to 90 minutes and all about whoever handles the pressure. We loved every minute on Saturday and we can use that to our advantage.
"It can only be of benefit really. It's such a grand place with so much tradition but the whole squad has now experienced that vibe so you can almost look at Saturday as a dress rehearsal.
"The fact we came away with a fantastic result means we can take the momentum into Sunday and getting into the League is what everything's all about. We've been talking about winning twice at Wembley for the last two months but it was always about making sure we used the FA Trophy final experience to take into the bigger game – the play-off final.
"We need the result in that one and the players are fired up. It's a tough league to get out of with only one automatic promotion spot. It's now down to two teams at Wembley."
Former Welsh under-21 international Parslow is also pleased this weekend's match will not require him to bite his lip through his country's national anthem as against Newport.
"I was tempted but thought that might not go down too well," he laughed. "Normally I belt it out with pride."
Outnumbered north
YORK City's Blue Square Bet Premier final opponents Luton Town have sold five times more tickets.
Around 26,300 Luton fans had bought their seats last night, compared to 5,095 from North Yorkshire.
Tickets can be bought by visiting the York City page on See Tickets' website at www.seetickets.com/york or by phoning See Tickets on 0844 995 9661.
The cost for adults is £36 and £18 for concessions or a £41 flat rate for Club Wembley seats.
There are also booking charges per ticket of £3 for adults and £1.50 for under-16s in addition to a postal charge of £2.25 per order.
A recorded delivery option is available as well for £6.
