- WHO recommended classification of pesticides by hazard and guidelines to classification 2009 2010WHO"The WHO Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard was approved by the 28th World Health Assembly in 1975 and has since gained wide acceptance. ... Guidelines were first issued in 1978, and have since been revised and reissued every few years. Up until the present revision the original guidelines approved by the World Health Assembly in 1975 have been followed without amendment. In December, 2002 the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (UNCETDG/GHS) approved a document called 'The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals' with the intent to provide a globally-harmonized system1 (GHS) to address classification of chemicals, labels, and safety data sheets. ... For this revision of the Classification the WHO Hazard Classes have been aligned in an appropriate way with the GHS Acute Toxicity Hazard Categories for acute oral or dermal toxicity as the starting point for allocating pesticides to a WHO Hazard Class (with adjustments for individual pesticides where required). ... The GHS Acute Toxicity Hazard Category for each pesticide is now presented alongside the existing information." - p. 1.

- WHO report on the global tobacco epidemic, 2013 enforcing bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship. 2013WHO
- This report, the fifth in the series of WHO reports on the global tobacco epidemic, presents a country-level examination of the epidemic and identifies countries that have applied effective tobacco control measures. The number of people worldwide protected by effective tobacco control measures continues to grow, and countries that have adopted these measures at the highest level of achievement can be considered models for action for those countries that have yet to do so. The focus of this report is raising taxes on tobacco, the 'R' component of MPOWER. Time and again, increasing taxes on tobacco products to increase retail prices has been proven to be the most effective and efficient of the best-buy demand reduction measures to reduce tobacco use. And yet it is also the least widely implemented measure.
- Second in a series of WHO reports on the global tobacco epidemic. Tracks the status of the tobacco epidemic and the impact of interventions implemented to stop it.

- This manual presents a large collection of clinical cases in oncology with accompanying whole-body FDG PET-CT scans. The aim is to promote an integrated approach to the use of PET-CT, and detailed attention is therefore paid to the clinical history and diagnostic question. A central aspect of every clinical case described in this manual is the guidance on the clinical report, which is the official tool for communicating with both the referring physician and the person undergoing the diagnostic test; for this reason it needs to be clear, understandable, and written in shared language. The advice regarding report preparation is strongly supported by informative PET, CT, and PET-CT fused images of each disease. The book is broadly structured according to anatomic region, and a wide range of common diseases likely to be imaged using PET-CT is covered. This book will be of value to all those training or working in the field of oncology who wish to ensure that they are best placed to contextualize, interpret, and report the findings obtained with PET-CT, which can have such a dramatic impact on prognosis, therapeutic choice, and quality of life.

- William Richard Gowers 1845-1915 exploring the Victorian brain : a biography. First edition [1st ed.] 2012Print Material"Sir William Richard Gowers was one of the pre-eminent clinical neurologists of the nineteenth century. He is best remembered for his discovery of the eponymous 'Gowers' sign', for his invention of the patella hammer, and for authoring the classic two-volume neurology textbook Manual of Diseases of the Nervous System. To date Dr Gowers has been the subject of only one published biography, while some aspects of Gowers' work have been chronicled in historical works regarding the history of neurology. This book goes into greater detail than ever, presenting the life story behind a great Victorian brain. Illustrated throughout with hundreds of family photographs and original sketches, the authors cover Gowers' early years, his clinical work at Queen Square, his accolades, and friendships with explorers and famous authors. Co-authored by an academic with special access to the Gowers family archives and two leading neurologists, this book is the first definitive reference work on the life of William Richard Gowers." -- [Publisher-supplied data]

- Print MaterialPresents a medical and social history of a devastating hereditary neurological disorder, Huntington's disease, once demonized as 'the witchcraft disease'. She explores the changing meanings of heredity, disability, stigma, and medical knowledge among ordinary people as well as scientists and physicians. This work presents a groundbreaking medical and social history of a devastating hereditary neurological disorder once demonized as 'the witchcraft disease'. When Phebe Hedges, a woman in East Hampton, New York, walked into the sea in 1806, she made visible the historical experience of a family affected by the dreaded disorder of movement, mind, and mood her neighbours called St. Vitus' dance. Doctors later spoke of Huntington's chorea, and today it is known as Huntington's disease. This book is the first history of Huntington's in America. Starting with the life of Phebe Hedges, Alice Wexler uses Huntington's as a lens to explore the changing meanings of heredity, disability, stigma, and medical knowledge among ordinary people as well as scientists and physicians.She addresses these themes through three overlapping stories: the lives of a nineteenth-century family once said to 'belong to the disease'; the emergence of Huntington's chorea as a clinical entity; and, the early-twentieth-century transformation of this disorder into a cautionary eugenics tale. In our own era of expanding genetic technologies, this history offers insights into the social contexts of medical and scientific knowledge, as well as the legacy of eugenics in shaping both the knowledge and the lived experience of this disease.--Publisher's summary.

- Print MaterialIn their efforts to utilize their medical skills and training in the service of their country, women physicians fought not one but two male-dominated professional hierarchies: the medical and the military establishments. In the process, they also contended with powerful social pressures and constraints. Throughout Women Doctors in War, authors Judith Bellafaire and Mercedes Graf focus on the medical careers, aspirations, and struggles of individual women, using personal stories to illustrate the unique professional and personal challenges female military physicians have faced. Military and medical historians and scholars in women's studies will discover a wealth of new information in this book.

- Working memory and education 2006ScienceDirectPsychologists have been trying to understand the factors that underpin children's success and failure in different education domains for many years. One psychological function that has been found to play an important role in educational achievement is working memory, the processes involved in the temporary maintenance and manipulation of information. This book provides the reader with an up-to-date review of the research that has identified how working memory relates to academic attainment in reading, reading comprehension, and arithmetic. It also looks at how children with difficulties relating to hearing impairment and attention deficits differ in terms of their working memory. Other chapters focus on how working memory is called upon in classroom settings, how working memory can be accessed, and approaches to remediation. The opening chapter of the book provides an account of working memory from the architect of the model that has dominated psychological theory for over two decades. This book is a valuable resource for psychogists, educators, and anyone seeking to understand more about the cognitive basis of education achievement in children.
- Working to overcome the global impact of neglected tropical diseases first WHO report on neglected tropical diseases. 2010WHO"Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) blight the lives of a billion people worldwide and threaten the health of millions more. These ancient companions of poverty weaken impoverished populations, frustrate the achievement of health in the Millennium Development Goals and impede global development outcomes. A more reliable evaluation of their significance to public health and economies has convinced governments, donors, the pharmaceutical industry and other agencies, including nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), to invest in preventing and controlling this diverse group of diseases. Global efforts to control "hidden" diseases, such as dracunculiasis (guinea-worm disease), leprosy, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis and yaws, have yielded progressive health gains including the imminent eradication of dracunculiasis. Since 1989 (when most endemic countries began reporting monthly from each endemic village), the number of new dracunculiasis cases has fallen from 892 055 in 12 endemic countries to 3190 in 4 countries in 2009, a decrease of more than 99%. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends five public-health strategies for the prevention and control of NTDs: preventive chemotherapy; intensified case-management; vector control; the provision of safe water, sanitation and hygiene; and veterinary public health (that is, applying veterinary sciences to ensure the health and well-being of humans). Although one approach may predominate for control of a specific disease or group of diseases, evidence suggests that more effective control results when all five approaches are combined and delivered locally." - p. vii

- "Child injuries have been neglected for many years, and are largely absent from child survival initiatives presently on the global agenda. Through this World report on child injury prevention, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund and many partners have set out to elevate child injury to a priority for the global public health and development communities. The knowledge and experience of nearly two hundred experts from all continents and various sectors were invaluable in grounding the report in the realities faced in many countries. This World report on child injury prevention should be seen as a complement to the UN Secretary-General's study on violence against children released in late 2006. That report addressed violence-related or intentional injuries. Both reports suggest that child injury and violence prevention programmes need to be integrated into child survival and other broad strategies focused on improving the lives of children. Evidence demonstrates the dramatic successes in child injury prevention in countries which have made a concerted effort. These results make a case for increasing investments in human resources and institutional capacities. This would permit the development, implementation and evaluation of programmes to stem the tide of child injury and enhance the health and well-being of children and their families the world over. Implementing proven interventions could save more than a thousand children's lives a day." - p. vii

Scott Horton Interviews William Astore
William Astore, professor of history at the Pennsylvania College of Technology, discusses his career at Cheyenne Mountain Missile Warning Center, the 15 separate buildings within it, its turning from a protective space to target with improvements in nuclear yield and missile accuracy, the continuing danger of accidental nuclear war with Russia, the necessity of the abolition of these obsolete weapons of indiscriminate killing, the dangerous mindset of the average government job-holder, Ronald Reagan's desire and failure to make a deal for total abolition at Reykjavik and America's current aggressive stance toward Russia.
MP3 here. (40:18)
William J. Astore, a retired lieutenant colonel (USAF), has taught at the Air Force Academy and the Naval Postgraduate School. He teaches history at the Pennsylvania College of Technology. He is co-author of Hindenburg: Icon of German Militarism.
One Response to "William Astore"
According to Dr Bob Bowman, former chief of US Air Force Missile Defense, missile defense is the missing link to a First Strike. Dr Bob Bowman thinks missiles in Poland will be very useful to shoot down any surviving Russian missiles AFTER a First Strike. Therefore the Russians will implement Launch On Warning. The terrible consequences of a mistake will be caused by the stupid Pentagon. Dr Bob Bowman agrees that the Pentagon (McCain?) will get disarming first-strike capability by 2011/12. Acc. to former Trident missile engineer Bob Aldridge-www.plrc.org-the US Navy can track and destroy all enemy subs simultaneously. The main danger is Russian Launch On Warning because of US First-Strike Capability. Please read Keir Lieber and Daryl Press, "The Rise of US Nuclear Primacy", 2006 March/April issue of Foreign Affairs. By 2011/12 the Pentagon will have achieved that the Russians have no choice but Launch On Warning. "Bloody fools in the Pentagon", as Brigadier Harbottle stated.

Notes & Commentaires
I love it ... I'd only stay there if you're 18-28 range though It's a cool chill place for young backpackers lookin to hang out, party, chill with friends, and meet new people. The food is pretty good and the bar is nice. Veggie Burgers are delish. The water is clear and many activities are available. Kayaks are free and they have Hot Water! the dorms are clean and roomy. It's fun and pretty cheap. I love it. it's good for a backpackers resort! — Bellalolo, age 23, American who lives in Fiji (2014-06-25)
There are better places in area This place has so much potential as situated on lovely beach and the facilities are good for the budget. however, the staff really do not want to be there and are very rude. the Aussie owners seem to use it as a holiday place themselves and do not care about the guests. Website states there is a cafe but there are only two choices per night of food. Also check your bill, us and a number of others had extras that were not correct added on. If you are an animal lover, beware, the fijians here hate animals and even abuse the owners dogs. They were talking of killing a friendly kitten that the guests were feeding when when we were there. — Claire, UK (2009-01-05)
Beautiful hostel right on the beach. Very cheap for what you get. Spacious dorm. Nice pool, bar, hammocks, and reasonable food at reasonable prices. Also nice to see remnants of filming Celebrity Love Island here! Everyone was eaten alive by mosquitoes here so bring a net and lots of deet! I would highly recommend this. — Rois (2007-03-08)
I initially booked for two nights with the intention of heading to Suva. I ended up staying for the full seven days of my trip. I loved the place. I took a day trip to a resort near Pacific Harbor — I couldn't stand it, I felt like I just wanted to get back "home" so I hitched a ride on a truck, back to the Beach House. The staff were SO kind and loving. Napolioni — ya gotta love that man! Mossies love us foreigners, so be warned. I loved the Kava sessions; staff; frogs; geckos; beach; Fiji Gold; Kava; Napoleon; making jewelry; food; and the scones! Did I mention the Kava!!! — Kiwi Gurl (2005-10-13)
Welcome to PARADISE!!! The Beachouse is amazing, wish you were here, eat your heart out!! Beautiful beach, food, accommodation, the surf break is a 10-minute paddle out, amazing people — and not to forget that afternoon tea everyday!! I'll be back as soon as I can!! — Chill out in Paradise (2005-08-26)
The beach at this hostel sucks. The staff at this hostel are not very helpful, the only thing they want is your money. I left the hostel a day after I got there. Boring place, and not too many things to do. — Victor (2005-08-21)
Awesome place to stay. The staff, service and atmosphere were unbeatable. The beaches were magnificent; nothing better than lazing around on the beach all day then volleyball in the afternoon. And after dinner everyone just seemed to slip into party mode at night simultaneously. Hello to Paco and Laurent. Chris and Rodderz — roddez in bris-vegas (2005-06-28)
This is one of the most popular and nicest budget accommodations in all of Fiji. It's problematic for people who like to cook for themselves, as the nearest market is a 30-minute bus ride. There are activities, excursions, a little library, restaurant, clean garden rooms, and plenty of hammocks. This is a great stop along the Coral Coast on your way from the west to the east on Fiji's main island. — Stephanie (2005-06-02)

What are the odds that Chris "BIG GUY" Anderson will make it as a Comedian....? Fat Chance! Since birth, he has been driven. Pretty much everywhere. Then when he arrives, and steps on the scene, It is Flattened like a Penny on a railroad track! He really is a "BIG GUY." I have seen him with his shirt off and he is Ripped! Stretchmarks are rips right? He works freeway off ramps for spare change, and if you saw him holding a sign that said "will work for food." You would believe IT! He was born, He has lived some, and plans on living more. In a recent interview (at Burger King) he was quoted as saying "I'm the King!" He did not get the job. This man does not have the capacity to learn. He is an ordained minister and performs weddings and funerals. He needs help, and he needs it from you. He says 20 bucks should cover it. As a young man he played football and was a hero. Now he plays the new Madden and eats heros. He has truly come full circle and If He knew you were still reading this, he would be amazed. Then, he would drink a glass of milk, and go back to sleep.

While Miller Auditorium was under construction in the late 1960s, the University took steps to create its Cultural Events Committee (CEC) to guide programming for this new facility. An advisory group originally addressed two tasks: (1) Function in an advisory capacity to schedule and promote an "international" concert series intended to bring the world's most outstanding performing artists and ensembles to Miller Auditorium; and (2) Encourage student involvement in fine arts programming and audience development.
The CEC had a substantial annual budget at the time (approximately
Most of these funds were used to subsidize student attendance at the
International Concert Series. The committee retained a smaller portion
for discretionary use to support other cultural events on the campus.

One Woodhaven woman is on the hunt for the man responsible for killing her dad.
On November 20 of last year, Carlos Rosario, 58, was working in Bushwick, Brooklyn when a robber attacked him in his tire shop, shooting him once in the mouth.
He died even before he reached the hospital, said his daughter Ismelda, 24.
The investigation is ongoing, and the NYPD is offering a $12,000 reward leading to the assailant's arrest, but Ismelda said she won't rest until her dad's killer is brought to justice.
"I'm overwhelmed. I'm shocked — that's the best word I can use right now," she said. "I'd just like as much help as possible so that I can continue on with my life."
Ismelda said she wakes up every day wondering who killed her father and where the murderer could be right now.
"All those questions are always racing through my mind," she said.
Ismelda, who now lives with just her mother, said she has since gone back to graduate school at Baruch College, where she also works part-time as a graduate assistant.
Though going back to her daily routines helps keep her "busy and distracted" from the pain, she said she is constantly reminded of the tragedy.
"I just really want to focus on advocacy and trying to spread the word," said Ismelda, who reached out to the community and local civic groups to extend her cause.
Meanwhile, Ed Wendell, president of the Woodhaven Residents Block Association, praised her efforts and strength.
"Her family should be really, really proud of her for what she's doing," Wendell said. "I can't imagine the horror of that happening. I can't imagine having the pain of losing a loved one mixed with having them taken away so violently and so suddenly. At the same time, I can't imagine what it's like not even having the chance for some sort of justice."
Wendell said he hopes finding the killer will relieve some of the family's pain.
"The family doesn't have closure, and that's what they have to hold out their hope for," he said. "She'll never get her father back — that'll never happen — but if she can get justice, there will be some measure of closure. There has to be someone out there that has some sort of inkling about what happened."
Anyone with information to this case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.

I've gotten into the habit of thinking of Mike Mignola as a creator of graphic novels. And so, of course, I find myself faced with Joe Golem and the Drowning City, a collaboration with Christopher Golden, billed as "an illustrated novel." It's still pretty much the kind of thing I've come to expect from Mignola.
Felix Orlov is a conjurer. In practical, everyday terms, that means that these days he holds séances to enable his clients to speak to the spirits of their dear departed. (Conjuring ain't what it used to be.) In this he is aided by his assistant, Molly McHugh, fourteen years old, crowned by a head of flaming red hair, and of uncertain antecedents. Like too many inhabitants of Downtown, she was a street child, if we can call it that, scrabbling for a living in the drowned remnants of Lower Manhattan until Orlov pulled her out of it and gave her a home. Then one day, a séance goes horribly wrong – Orlov seems to have lost his sense of himself, and in the middle of things the door is broken in by a group of men (?) wearing rubber suits and gas masks, who kill Orlov's clients, abduct Orlov, and try to do away with Molly. She is rescued by a man who identifies himself simply as "Joe," who then takes her, over her objections, to Church — Simon Church, who himself is an investigator with some acquaintance with the unusual. It seems Church has been keeping an eye on Orlov for some time, because of an artifact known as Lector's Pentajulum. No one knows what it does, but it seems that Church is not the only one who's interested in it.
About that "drowned Lower Manhattan": in the universe of this story, disaster struck in 1925 and the level of the ocean rose. Lower Manhattan is under water, and pretty much resembles the worst slum you can imagine – a sort of modern-day Venice on the skids. That, and the more or less steampunk framework – Church, for example, is more than a hundred years old and gives off smoke, even when his pipe is not lit – lends a somewhat Victorian flavor to the whole thing, a sort of Dickens with boilers and gears. And this being a story from Mike Mignola, there's also a somewhat Lovecraftian air: there's an elder god, or maybe just a superior being from another dimension, who makes a dramatic appearance at the climax of the story, reaching its tentacles into our dimension. (Why do "elder gods" always have tentacles? No one has ever explained that to me.)
The story is basically solid, but I think it might have done better as a graphic novel. There's a dictum among writers that goes "Don't tell me what a character's thinking, show me what he does." That's where Joe Golem fell down for me: we seem to spend a lot of time in Molly's head, and then Joe's, learning what makes them tick. Among other things, the pacing suffers and the story loses focus. What might have been fairly tight sequences amble along while the characters ruminate on why they're doing what they're doing. (It's not limited to just Joe and Molly – Church tells us what his motivations are, as does the villain, Dr. Cocteau – at length.) Based on past experience, I'm sure Mignola's art could have carried these portions very nicely. For that matter, either Mignola or Golden could have built all this into subtext and made a more engaging story, and, counter-intuitive though it may seem, one with more fully developed characters.
About the "illustrated novel" part: Mignola has provided a series of illustrations – I think the term "profusely illustrated" is appropriate here – that depict various characters and settings of the story, in his signature rough, blocky style, rendered in the manner of woodcuts, in stark black and white. The one drawback is that, because of the high contrast and sometimes small size, they occasionally are unreadable.
Sadly, the telling me rather than showing me part of it more or less ruined the book for me, although the story, and, indeed, the characters themselves, are certainly worth a look. I still think it should be a comic, though.

Business briefs
Calm session ends with closings mixed
NEW YORK — Wall Street ended the calmest session in recent memory with a narrowly mixed performance Monday as investors largely looked past a weak reading on the manufacturing sector and focused on the election.
Before finishing essentially flat, the Dow Jones industrials moved in a range of 155 points, well below October's average daily swing of 594. While trading was quiet, the calm doesn't necessarily mean that the market has overcome all its worries; analysts said investors weren't making big moves ahead of the voting.
Stocks showed little lasting impact from the Institute for Supply Management report that its measure of U.S. manufacturing dropped last month to the lowest level since September 1982. A separate report showed construction spending fell by a smaller-than-expected amount in September.
The range of data support the growing belief that the economy is in recession, hurt by a drop in lending and slower overall spending.
The Dow Jones fell 5.18, or 0.06 percent, to 9,319.83, after rising as much as 86 and falling 70. The day's trading range was its lowest since Sept. 3. Broader stock indicators were mixed. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 2.45, or 0.25 percent, to 966.30, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 5.38, or 0.31 percent, to 1,726.33.
Manufacturing index is at 26-year low
NEW YORK — Manufacturers, already hit by mounting job losses, saw business plummet to the lowest level in 26 years in October.
The Institute for Supply Management said Monday that its manufacturing index fell to 38.9, the lowest reading since September 1982, when the country was near the end of a 16-month recession. Any reading below 50 signals contraction.
"Everything we can tell about the economy just got weaker," said Stuart G. Hoffman, PNC Financial Services Group senior vice president and economist. The manufacturing report confirmed that the economy is falling deeper into recession, he said.
The index had been hovering near what economists call "the boom-bust" line for most of the year until its sharp fall in September brought it to the lowest level since the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks.
October's reading was sharply below the September figure of 43.5 and lower than expectations of 41.5, according to the consensus estimate of Wall Street economists surveyed by Thomson/IFR.
Crude oil, gasoline futures head down
HOUSTON — A worsening economic climate pushed crude futures downward and depressed gasoline futures further Monday, a bit of good news for consumers amid a flurry of dour economic reports.
Gasoline futures tumbled nearly 9 percent with release of the latest data suggesting to economists that the United States is in recession.
After trading above $69 per barrel, light, sweet crude for December delivery tumbled $3.87 to settle at $63.91 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Declining gasoline futures have led to sharp drops in the price of gasoline. The price for a regular gallon dropped to $2.41 nationally Monday, down more than 30 percent from last month, according to AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. Gas was selling for as little as $1.93 a gallon in Tulsa, Okla.
