Mary Roach, née le , est une écrivaine américaine spécialisée dans la vulgarisation scientifique et l'humour.  Depuis 2016, elle a publié sept livres : Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (2003), Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife (2005), Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex (2008), Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void (2010), My Planet: Finding Humor in the Oddest Places, Gulp: Adeventures on the Alimentary Canal (2013), et Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War (2016).

Roach est connue pour sa curiosité et son humour en plus de ses recherches. Ses nombreux articles humoristiques dans diverses publications au cours des décennies comprennent sa chronique mensuelle sur l'humour, « My Planet », dans le Reader's Digest.

Jeunesse et éducation
Mary Roach est née à Hanover dans le New Hampshire d'un père âgé de . Sa famille déménage ensuite à Etna, dans le New Hampshire, où Roach fréquente le lycée de Hanover. Elle obtient un baccalauréat en psychologie de l'université Wesleyenne en 1981.

Carrière
Après ses études universitaires, Roach déménage à San Francisco en Californie, et passe quelques années à travailler comme rédactrice en chef indépendante. Elle travaille ensuite comme chroniqueuse mais également dans les relations publiques pendant un bref moment. Sa carrière d'écrivaine débute alors qu'elle travaille à temps partiel à la San Francisco Zoological Society, produisant des communiqués de presse sur des sujets tels que la chirurgie des verrues chez les éléphants. Pendant ses jours de congé de la SFZS, elle écrit des articles indépendants pour le San Francisco Chronicle Sunday Magazine.

En 1986, elle vend un article humoristique sur l'Internal Revenue Service au San Francisco Chronicle. Cet article donne lieu à de nombreux essais humoristiques à la première personne et à des articles de fond pour des publications telles que Vogue, GQ, The New York Times Magazine, Discover, National Geographic, Outside et Wired.

Pendant son interview avec Alex C. Telander de BookBanter, Roach répond à la question de savoir comment elle avait commencé son premier livre :

Bien que Roach parle principalement de science, elle n'a jamais eu l'intention d'en faire sa carrière. Roach déclare dans interview à TheVerge.com, quand on lui demande ce qui la rend accro aux textes sur la science : « Pour être honnête, il est apparu que les histoires scientifiques étaient toujours, de manière constante, les histoires les plus intéressantes que je devais couvrir. Je ne l'avais pas planifié comme ça, et je n'ai pas de formation scientifique officielle ni d'éducation en journalisme scientifique.  En fait, j'ai un baccalauréat en psychologie ».

Des émissions de télévision et de radio demandent à plusieurs reprises à Roach de paraître en tant qu'invitée afin qu'elle puisse discuter de science. Elle est apparue dans des émissions comme Coast to Coast AM, The Daily Show et The Colbert Report. Roach a aussi des chroniques mensuelles dans Reader's Digest ("My Planet") et  ("The Slightly Wider World of Sports").

En plus d'être une autrice à succès, Roach est impliquée dans d'autres projets. Elle fait des chroniques littéraires pour The New York Times et est l'éditrice invitée de l'édition 2011 de . Elle est également membre du conseil consultatif du Mars Institute et ambassadrice de Mars One.

Méthodes de recherche

Roach s'est portée volontaire avec son mari pour une expérience d'imagerie par ultrasons lors du coït afin d'étudier les effets du câlin. Alors qu'elle fait des recherches de matériel pour son livre Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex, Roach rencontre le  Jing Deng, maître de conférences en physique médicale à l'. Le  Deng expérimente l'échographie 4-D et a besoin de sujets de test pour avoir des rapports sexuels tout en portant l'appareil à ultrasons afin de pouvoir saisir des images en temps réel. Roach et son mari, Ed, sont les premiers participants à participer à cette étude. Lorsqu'on lui demande comment elle a réussi à convaincre son mari de participer, Roach répond : « Il est mon plus grand supporter. C'était beaucoup plus difficile pour lui. Ce n'était rien pour moi. Je n'étais qu'un réceptacle. Je prenais juste des notes ».

Pour étudier l'effet reproductif de l'excitation sexuelle chez les porcs, Roach se rend à la ferme Øeslevgaard au Danemark pour observer des inséminateurs de porcs qui effectuent des techniques expérimentales pour déterminer s'il existe une corrélation positive entre la stimulation et le nombre de descendants. En travaillant avec la scientifique sensorielle Sue Langstoff, Roach étudie les méthodes de test du goût de la bière utilisées pour détecter la qualité des impuretés, telles que la détection des odeurs désagréables que l'on peut trouver si les équipements de fabrication de la bière sont nettoyés à l'eau chlorée. Elle consulte également le physiologiste oral, le  Andries Van der Bilt, pour analyser la capacité complexe de la mâchoire humaine à dégrader les aliments et à protéger la bouche lors de la mastication.

En 1997, elle visite l'Antarctique pour écrire un article pour Discover Magazine sur la chasse aux météorites avec le chasseur Ralph Harvey. Elle y est également allée à quelques reprises dans le cadre du programme polaire de la National Science Foundation, qui gère le financement des activités de recherche et de soutien aux opérations dans l'Arctique et l'Antarctique. Lors de l'un de ces voyages, Roach accompagne une équipe d'experts en sédiments marins sur le navire de recherche, RV Nathaniel B. Palmer, afin de recueillir des échantillons des profondeurs de l'océan au large de l'Antarctique afin d'en apprendre davantage sur le réchauffement planétaire.

Style d'écriture

Bien que Roach ne possède pas de diplôme en sciences, elle tente de prendre des idées complexes et de les transformer en quelque chose que le lecteur moyen peut comprendre. Elle accompagne le lecteur dans les étapes de sa recherche, depuis l'apprentissage du matériel jusqu'à la connaissance des personnes qui l'étudient, comme elle le décrit lors d'un dialogue public avec Adam Savage.

Le thème commun dans la plupart des livres de Roach est un traitement littéraire du corps humain. Elle dit à propos de ses ouvrages : « Mes livres sont tous [sur le corps humain]. Spook est un peu un départ, car il est plus question de l'âme que du corps de chair et de sang, mais la plupart de mes livres traitent du corps humain dans des circonstances inhabituelles ». Quand Peter Sagal de la National Public Radio lui demande comment elle choisit ses sujets, elle répond : « Eh bien, il faut un peu de science, un peu d'histoire, un peu d'humour et quelque chose de grossier ». Par exemple, son article intitulé « The C word: Dead man driving » est publié dans le Journal of Clinical Anatomy et demande pourquoi les cadavres sont considérés comme déshonorés s'ils sont utilisés pour tester des explosifs ou des essais de choc

Selon Roach, « Ne vous y trompez pas, une bonne écriture scientifique est un médicament. C'est un remède à l'ignorance et à l'erreur. Une bonne écriture scientifique élimine la cécité, génère des merveilles et porte la paume ouverte sur le front : 'Oh ! Maintenant je comprends !' ». En ce qui concerne son scepticisme vis-à-vis du monde qui l'entoure, Roach déclare dans son livre Spook :

Elle dit qu'elle s'être toujours intéressée à la science, en particulier aux sujets liés à l'espace et aux voyages dans l'espace même ; c'est la raison pour laquelle la décision d'écrire Packing for Mars n'est pas une aventure aléatoire dans laquelle Roach décide de se lancer. « Je n'avais aucune idée jusqu'à ce que je commence ce livre que lorsque vous vous dirigez vers la Lune ou vers Mars, vous êtes essentiellement en train de glisser. Je pensais que c'était comme une voiture où vous aviez le pied sur l'essence tout le temps, et je pensais : 'Jésus, c'est beaucoup d'essence' ». À la fin de son livre, elle est capable de décrire de manière vivante et de rendre compréhensible les nombreux détails essentiels qui sont normalement négligés. Pour ce faire, elle aborde et répond aux questions plus pratiques et techniques qu'un membre du public peut avoir, telles que la façon dont les astronautes se rendent aux toilettes, mangent et dorment, et s'interrogent également sur les effets de la gravité zéro sur le corps des voyageurs de l'espace.

Dans une interview avec DJ Grothe, Roach décrit la manière dont elle aborde ses sujets de livre : « Je dirais que cela a plus à voir avec mes propres intérêts qui ne sont pas assez bien abordés ».

Vie privée
Roach a un bureau dans le centre-ville d'Oakland et vit dans le quartier de Glenview avec son mari Ed Rachles, illustrateur et graphiste.

Roach a visité les sept continents au moins deux fois.

Récompenses
En 1995, l'article de Roach intitulé « Comment gagner à la guerre germinale » est finaliste du National Magazine Award. Dans cet article, Roach interviewe le microbiologiste Chuck Gerba de l'Université de l'Arizona. Il y décrit une étude scientifique dans laquelle des bactéries et des particules virales sont aérosolisées lors de la chasse d'eau des toilettes : « Lors du tirage de la chasse d'eau, pas moins de 28 000 particules virales et 660 000 bactéries [sont] larguées »

En 1996, son article sur les maisons anti-séisme en bambou, « La solution Bamboo », reçoit le American Engineering Societies Engineering Journalism Award dans la catégorie des articles d'intérêt général. Dans son article, l'ingénieur civil Jules Janssen souligne que le bambou est « plus résistant que le bois, la brique et le béton... Une colonne courte et droite de bambou d'une surface supérieure à 10 cm carrés peut supporter un éléphant de  ».

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers est un bestseller du New York Times, fait partie de la liste « Découvrez de grands écrivains » de Barnes & Noble en 2003 et est cité comme l'un des « Meilleurs livres de 2003 » par Entertainment Weekly. Stiff remporte également le Amazon.com Editor's Choice award en 2003 et le Grand prix des lectrices de Elle. Le livre est traduit en au moins dix-sept langues, dont le hongrois et le lituanien. Stiff est également sélectionné pour le programme de lecture commune de la université d'État de Washington en 2008-2009.

La colonne "My Planet" de Roach dans le Reader's Digest est finaliste dans la catégorie humour des récompenses du National Press Club en 2005. En 2008, Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex, est choisi comme choix du New York Times Book Review Editor, fait partie du Top 5 Sciences du Boston Globe et est répertorié comme un best-seller dans plusieurs autres publications.

En 2011, Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void est choisi comme livre de l'année pour le septième programme annuel d'événements littéraires « One City One Book : San Francisco Reads ». Packin for Mars est également sixième sur la liste des meilleures ventes du New York Times.

En 2012, Roach reçoit le prix Rushdie de la Harvard Secular Society pour ses réalisations exceptionnelles dans le domaine de l'humanisme culturel.

Son livre Gulp: Aventures sur le canal alimentaire (Oneworld) figurait sur la liste des finalistes du Prix Winton 2014 de la Société royale pour la littérature scientifique.

Kenya's trailer market
Staff Writer February 19, 2015, 12:00 am February 19, 2015 0
While the fight against Ebola is still raging in West Africa, news about the continent's economic progress can be easily overlooked. Beyond the crisis, however, it is developing a distinct technology edge that could stimulate investment into road transport and give the local trailer market a welcome boost.
Sub-Saharan Africa's economy is forecast by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to grow five per cent next year – one of the fastest rates in the world. Kenya and Nigeria are among 16 sub-Saharan countries whose economies are expected to expand more than six per cent, even though the disease is devouring much needed resources across the region.
According to Bloomberg's David Malingha Doya and Mike Cohen, this new growth wave is not just commodity-driven anymore but more broad-based, with a thriving IT economy taking the lead. Almost 60 per cent of Kenya's 40.7 million people now have Internet access, and 78 per cent have mobile phone subscriptions – fuelling business opportunities across industries.
"The engines of growth … are increasingly diverse," Doya and Cohen explain. "You are not simply finding growth coming out of a single exporter or a single commodity, which has previously been the case in many countries. This allows for more income accumulation outside of a high-level political and economic elite."
That 'readiness' for broad-based growth is especially noticeable in Kenya, where the controversial Kenyatta/ Ruto government is trying to set up a "conducive business environment" for local and foreign investors alike.
Benefitting from a relatively stable political environment since the 2013 election, business confidence in and around Nairobi is on the rise. At an international investment conference held in mid-November, Deputy President William Ruto noted that the nation was ready for the next stage of its economic development.
"We are interested in being more than a transit point and we are making necessary adjustments to propel Kenya to be the perfect investment spot," said Ruto, whose speech was read by Industrialization Cabinet Secretary Adan Mohammed, as Ruto himself is currently standing trial in The Hague, accused of crimes against humanity in the wake of the 2008 election.
"Where there is a private sector that understands and translates official visions into appropriate interventions, economies have grown, wealth has been created and business has been harnessed. We are committed to creating a conducive environment for more investments into the country."
Even though both Ruto and President Kenyatta are still facing court – both are denying all charges – the duo's most recent stimulus package is already palpable across the nation. Investors in Kenya can now take only a day to register their business, file taxes electronically and access both regional and international markets easily, thanks to favourable business reforms and policies initiated by the government and private sector. In addition, large-scale infrastructure projects are now underway, and recent discoveries of large oil, coal, titanium and water reserves have further elevated Kenya's future growth prediction.
Naturally, such buoyancy is attracting attention. While the Western influence in Kenya is still strong, Asia and the Middle East are slowly gaining ground in the region, with China taking the lead as a major development and trade partner – not just in Nairobi, but nation-wide. Already, it's not unusual to see Chinese contractors undertaking large civil engineering projects or Chinese traders setting up shop in remote parts of the country, locals say.
Aware of the Chinese foray, Western governments have now taken the offensive again. In October, Kenya signed an economic partnership agreement (EPA) with the European Union, paving the way for duty-free trading between the two economies. While the EPA has been criticised by some for favouring the EU, the pact is widely considered a step forward. As Kenya's largest trading partner, the EU imported 21 per cent of Kenya's total exports in 2013. In turn, 16 per cent of Kenya's total imports in 2013 originated from the EU.
On the road, Kenya's reinvigorated relationship with the EU is immediately noticeable. In the heavy-duty sector, European models dominate the market. Securing a solid 57 per cent share of the new heavy truck market in 2013, Mercedes-Benz is the undisputed market leader, with MAN, Scania, Volvo and VW also representing European engineering. Japanese OEMs like Isuzu, Mitsubishi Fuso and Nissan UD are on their tail, in turn chased by Beiben, Dongfeng, FAW and Sinotruck from China.
According to Mike Duder, General Sales Manager at Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles in Kenya, "The keys to succeeding in this market are a high-quality product, comprehensive after-sales services and exemplary resale value. The specifications need to be well-suited for East African conditions."
Due to the high purchase price of new vehicles, which is due to costly import taxes, the vast majority of heavy trucks on Kenyan roads are used imports. In 2013, approximately 80 per cent of the prime movers registered in Kenya were second hand vehicles from abroad – with virtually all of them coming from the United Kingdom.
In contrast, the majority of trailers on Kenyan roads are locally manufactured. Last year, some 4,000 new trailers were registered in Kenya – bringing the total population to approximately 40,000 units at the end of 2013 and officially marking the end of the post-GFC slump.
In 2010, when the effects of the Global Financial Crisis began to reach Africa, slightly less than 2,400 new trailers were registered in Kenya, down 37 per cent from the previous year. Less than half a decade on, the growth forecast for 2014 is 7.5 per cent again – giving local manufacturing and overall productivity a much-needed boost.
But even though the strengthened trucking industry is contributing to economic growth, the resulting spike in congestion is causing grief amongst the population. Along the Northern Corridor, the highway that links Kenya's Port of Mombasa with the landlocked eastern and central African countries of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Congo and South Sudan, heavy trucks put a strain on local infrastructure.
Poorly managed and regulated, Kenya's road transport industry is laden with corruption and laxity. Overloading, the most prevalent issue, is firmly rooted in the mind set of many operators – despite the Kenyan Government's best efforts to remove it.
With massive investments in road infrastructure planned and underway, the Government of Kenya has taken a firm stance against overloading. Last year, new axle load and gross weight regulations, enforcement guidelines and overloading penalties were issued. These will soon be followed by new "weigh in motion" weighbridge systems, which will replace the existing antiquated systems along the Northern Corridor. But the success rate so far has been minimal.
With overloading deeply ingrained in the local transport culture, heavy truck dealers and trailer manufacturers are forced to configure and build their products for extra-heavy weights to avoid frequent breakdowns. Whereas the legal gross combination weight (GCW) in Kenya is limited to 56 tonnes over seven axles, authorities regularly encounter combinations weighing in excess of 100 tonnes each.
Ironically, the push to transport more freight by road – illegal or not – has urged the Kenyan Government to collaborate with China on the development of a new railroad from the Port of Mombasa to the nation's capital, Nairobi, which is located some 500km away. The new railroad is expected to be ready by the end of 2016 and will ultimately connect with similar projects inland, creating a new rail network across Kenya as well as a new rail corridor for the landlocked eastern and central African countries – competing for a substantial share of the freight task currently handled by truck and trailer combinations.
Naturally, many road hauliers are apprehensive that the new railroads might herald the end of their unabated dominance on freight transport. And seeing as analysts predict freight charges to drop by 50-70 per cent once the new railroad is complete, their fears may not be unfounded. But even though a large-scale modal shift is expected, the Kenyan road transport sector is not doomed. Many experts expect the increased competition arising from the new rail line to compel industry to follow the current tech trend and seriously re-evaluate its business models in an effort to find new solutions to increase its efficiency and productivity. In that sense, the future may actually hold even greater promise for road transport in Kenya.

Spring and summer are exciting for many people, thanks to the revitalizing warm weather and all the fun outdoor activities that come with it. For a child with seasonal or environmental allergies, however, they are likely dreading the oncoming months of coughing, sneezing, and other unpleasant symptoms. Fortunately, there are several steps that you can take as a parent to help them breathe more easily.
The first step to tackling your child's allergies is to fully understand their triggers. As we mentioned in our allergies 101 blog, there are different kinds of allergies that can come with different symptoms. The Pediatric Associates of Northern Colorado can help you narrow down the list with environmental allergy tests. Call today to schedule your appointment at our Fort Collins office and keep reading for tips on how to minimize your child's allergies!
Once you know what know what your child is allergic to, you can specifically target their triggers. Everyone's body reacts to different allergens in a different way, but there are a few common denominators among childhood allergies. For today's post, we picked two typical triggers and listed steps you can take to minimize those specific allergens.
Pollen is a powdery substance that plants spread in order to reproduce. If you learn that your child is allergic to a specific plant, such as ragweed or species of grasses or trees, then you can help reduce their symptoms by keeping an eye on the pollen count for that particular plant. When the triggering plant is in bloom, keep your child inside as much as possible and keep the windows of your home shut. They should also shower or bathe before bed to get rid of any lingering pollen on their clothes and prevent it from spreading to their bedsheets.
The pollen count for different plants will peak at different times, which can be helpful in anticipating when you need to take these steps. In addition to peak months, there are also peak times, so you may be able to plan outdoor activities to avoid those times. Grass and weed pollen may peak in the morning, for example, so you can schedule play dates or summer camps for the afternoon or evening.
If your child is allergic to dust mites, keeping them inside may actually worsen their symptoms. Dust mites are very tiny bugs that thrive inside your home, and they are a very common trigger for allergies or asthma. You'll have to thoroughly clean your home if you want to minimize your child's exposure. Try to clear their room of anything that might harbor dust mites, such as thick curtains, rugs, or carpeting, as well as fuzzy blankets, comforters, stuffed animals, and books. Making your home cool and dry with the help of your air conditioning can help diminish the dust mite population, as will washing your sheets and towels in hot water once a week.
Pollen and dust mites are two very common triggers, but there are plenty more seasonal and environmental allergens out there, so we will continue our conversation on reducing your child's allergy symptoms in a later blog post. If your child is expressing any of the symptoms we discussed in our previous post on allergies, then make an appointment with the Pediatric Associates of Northern Colorado and we can provide a fast, effective environmental allergy test. We can also help you find ways to fight your child's uncomfortable symptoms, such as through sublingual immunotherapy. Check back in for future posts about those solutions and call your child's pediatrician today to discuss your options!

Count The Clock Pop Horror Made Me Do It Visual Album Released
Earlier this year, two works from Count the Clock were covered on the Cinema Smack site. Count the Clock is an artist's collective based in Los Angeles that specializes in free short form themed content. The two works covered on the site were an excellent short film from Zach Lorkiewicz, entitled The Ball, and an online art gallery called C10 Pop. The gallery featured video, audio, music, digital art, and poetry from nine different artists. Now, Count the Clock returns with a new project: the visual album, Pop Horror Made Me Do It.
The album consists of six music videos designed and directed by Zach Lorkiewicz with music from Michael Coe. Like the collective's previous work, there's a huge emphasis on vibrant colors, catchy tunes, quirkiness, and unease. All of the videos are less than two minutes each with some being even less than one minute. Regardless of the brief runtime, the videos have that off-the-wall Count the Clock feel that pulls you in immediately.
The first video shares its name with the album title, Pop Horror Made Me Do It. Backed by a catchy and repetitive club-like song, the video calls to mind something like Alice in Wonderland with its props, playing card suits/colors, and mention of the "white rabbit." The followup video, Wuthering Heights, is more reminiscent to something like Nicolas Winding Refn's 2016 film, The Neon Demon, with its lighting, music, and modeling influences. It's also, arguably, the most visually and aurally stunning of the entire collection. Then there's the haunting quality of Black Hole followed by the safe haven of a Barbie dream house in the understandably titled Dream House. The album is rounded out by the brief, rapid fire, one-two punch of GOD is TAYLOR SWIFT and GOD is KIM KARDASHIAN.
Like the rest of their work, Pop Horror Made Me Do It has all the typical Count the Clock traits. That's most certainly not a bad thing. While their work isn't for everyone, there's something hypnotic and addicting about it. Check out the full visual album, Pop Horror Made Me Do It, below.

As it's done with the previous Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro, it's expected that the two phones will share similar specs and designs, but the Pro will likely have the edge when it comes to amounts of RAM, storage and nearly certainly price, thereby earning its "Pro" moniker. It is also expected that the Mate 20 series smartphones will come equipped with in-display fingerprint sensor and a new facial recognition technology. The Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro are expected to be the successor to last year's Mate 10 series, while the Mate 20X is speculated be the new gaming phone by the Chinese giant.
The Huawei Mate 20 and Pro edition will both be driven by the Kirin 980 chipset - the first phones to be so. Moreover, Huawei is rumoured to offer an in-display fingerprint sensor. That's not particularly surprising, given the Huawei P20 Pro already has three cameras.
Such a design choice appears to have been heavily hinted by Huawei ahead of its hardware showcase. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is said to feature a 6.39-inch OLED display with 1440x3120 pixel resolution. Battery life is no problem either, thanks to the 4000mAh cell.
In addition, it is thought Huawei will announce a new smartwatch during the event.
However a render appeared to show the headphones being charged while sitting on the Mate 20 Pro's rear panel. Price and colour options of the Mate 20X are yet to be revealed.
Express.co.uk will be covering Huawei's hardware exhibition in London live.

Back to 'The European Association for the History of Medicine and Health (EAHMH)'
Procedure for granting Seed money to EAHMH networks
The EAHMH aims to foster research and the international exchange of views on all issues concerning health and medicine in Europe and their connections with the extra-European world. For this purpose, EAHMH attracts members world-wide, from North America to Australasia. Another way of accomplishing this goal is to create and facilitate networks of medical historians who have organized themselves around a particular topic.
Networks already in existence include the International Network for the History of Hospitals and the International Network for the History of Homeopathy. New networks have recently presented themselves, and the Scientific board of the EAHMH is willing to help them get started. Instruments to do this include advertising the projected network on the EAHMH website and giving seed money for an inaugural workshop where new networks can define and organize themselves.
New networks may apply for funding with the EAHMH by submitting a proposal to the Treasurer, Dr Jonathan Simon (zxzsimon@yahoo.com). The following criteria apply:
In order to facilitate true European collaboration, networks need to be made up of EAHMH members living in at least four different European countries, including at least one from Eastern or Southern Europe (to become a member, go to http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/activity/mds/centres/eahmh/join/index.aspx)
Proposed network topics needs to be innovative
Deadlines for application are 1 May in even years and 1 January in odd years
Applications should have a specified budget of expenses for the planned workshop, together with details of the activity
The scheme is competitive and will be reviewed by a panel constituted from the SB
Applicants are expected to report back to the SB after the conference, specifying how the money was spent. Information on the outcome of the workshop may be put on the EAHMH website
We consider requests for financing workshops up to 1500 euros
This funding scheme is open to all EAHMH members.
Existing Networks
International Network for the History of Hospitals
Aims:
The Network exists to promote studies related to the historical evolution of hospitals from their beginnings to the present day by providing an international forum for communication and discussion among scholars interested in the subject. Particular encouragement is given to newcomers to the field. It is hoped that collaborative research among members will be encouraged.
The Network has a thriving conference and publication series. Recent publications include:

International Network for Studying the History of Health in Ports
Port cities in the European past acted as 'gateways of disease' in the same way that airports today function as hubs for the transmission of infectious diseases such as the Ebola and the ZIKA viruses. Major port cities in the past are unique laboratories enabling us to better understand the long term global evolution of mortality and health in dynamic environments characterized by high disease loads from a large range of infectious diseases, such as cholera and smallpox, high rates of population turnover and vast economic and industrial change.
The network makes use of individual-level cause-of-death data for the entire population of European port cities for the period 1850-1950. These truly unique datasets enable us to go beyond what was captured in highly-aggregated nationally published statistics which make use of extremely limited 19th century disease classifications. In this way we can evaluate health changes in-depth, being able to study dis-aggregations, by individual disease, by age, sex, etcetera. We can thus reconstruct the epidemiological 'fingerprints' of European port cities and the way these changed in an exceptional period in the history of European health, in which life expectancy nearly doubled, infectious diseases sharply declined, and cancers and cardiovascular diseases increased.
The network brings together scholars in social history, historical demography, medical history and historical epidemiology.
The SHiP network has received funding from the Dutch Research Council (NWO) as part of its Internationalization Program 2017. For further information and contact details, see our website: http://www.ru.nl/historicaldemography/research-projects/ship/.

Best DIM Capsules – 100 mg Pills for Hormone Balance
Using DIM Capsules
Estrogen Effects
Choosing the best DIM capsules for supplementation requires the consideration of a few different variables.
DIM (diindolylmethane) is a naturally-synthesized substance that we make in our bodies when digesting vegetables from the Brassica plant family.
DIM and its precursor, indole-3-carbinol (I3C) are referred to as anticancer agents. They are sometimes used by naturopathic doctors to prevent and treat various cancers, especially prostate, cervical, breast and colon cancers.
While the FDA has not yet approved DIM tablets as a cancer treatment, there is significant evidence showing positive effects in laboratory and animal studies.
DIM capsules are also currently used by women to relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), prostate issues, perimenopause and benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).
As DIM is a relatively new area of clinical study, most research to date has been animal-based or in-vitro.
Di-indole methane is also known to affect estrogen levels and utilization. As such, it may help in the prevention of certain conditions which are sensitive to excessive estrogen levels.

Bioresponse DIM
DIM (3,3′-diindolylmethane) is a phytonutrient constituent of cruciferous vegetables.
It is a metabolic condensation of I3C (indole-3-carbinol) that occurs when myrosinase is released during the chewing process (mastication).
More precisely, when I3C mixes with myrosinase, glucose and isothiocyanates are released which cause molecular breakdown.
At this point, two indoles are joined to a single methane group; resulting in a molecule of diindolylmethane.
DIM capsules seem to assist with the efficient breakdown of fats from the diet. Also, diindolylmethane supplementation may promote gains in lean muscle mass and decrease body fat mass.
Bodybuilders are using DIM pills more and more to increase testosterone levels, help lose weight, improve cardiovascular disease risk factors, and for muscle building.
Effects of DIM on Estrogen
Oral DIM capsules are often recommended to control levels of estrogen in males and females, particularly as they age. Both men and women utilize estrogen for a variety of biological functions.
Some of the roles of estrogen include maintaining healthy blood vessels, preserving strong brain functioning, repairing DNA and combating free radical damage.
The elevated levels of estrogen in women compared to men are believed to be responsible for the female body shaping of hips and breasts, as well as many other differences between the sexes.
Estrogen is also the reason why women tend to store fat around the thighs and buttocks, while men are more likely to store fat around the abdomen.
In some men with excessive estrogen levels, symptoms like gynecomastia (male breast growth) develop. Other effects of high estrogen in men may include fat gains, weight gains, muscle loss, decreases in strength, diminished sex drive, reduction in testosterone levels, and feminization of the body.
There is also a potential increased risk for developing prostate cancer, heart disease and various other conditions. Taking a regular DIM pill may help to avert these conditions associated with high estrogen levels.
In many women nearing menopause, estrogen dominance develops as naturally-synthesized levels of progesterone decrease. This can manifest as early as ten years before the official onset of menopause.
Symptoms of estrogen dominance may include water retention, erratic mood swings, heavy bleeding during menstruation, and painful breasts.
When estrogen dominance onsets, the tissues of the breasts and uterus may become hyperstimulated. This is known to possibly cause adenomas (cysts) in the breasts as well as uterine growths.
These effects are linked to increased occurrence of hysterectomies, mammograms and otherwise unnecessary pharmaceuticals. Supplementation with DIM capsules seems to prevent excessively high, or excessively low estrogen levels.
DIM Capsules and Testosterone Replacement Therapies
The effects of diindolylmethane supplementation are also reported to protect men who use testosterone replacement therapies (TRTs) from developing excessive estrogen levels.
DIM is believed to upregulate 2-hydroxy estrogen metabolite ("good" estrogen) synthesis and downregulate 4, 16-hydroxy estrogen metabolite ("bad" estrogen) production.
Also, free testosterone levels increase. These combined actions encourage proper hormonal balance, and help to enhance overall metabolism efficacy.
DIM capsules also seem to work to naturally elevate testosterone by inhibiting its conversion into estrogen. It has been found in some studies to inhibit aromatase actions.
The natural increases in free testosterone resulting from di-indole methane supplementation may come with fewer side effects than those associated with synthetic testosterone replacement.
Best DIM Capsule Dosages
DIM dosage between 1 and 24 milligrams each day is likely safe for all normal, healthy adults. This dosage is also considered safe for pregnant women and children. Doses between 25 mg and 300 mg daily are considered to be possibly safe and have been associated with rare cases of gastrointestinal upset and headaches.
For doses above 300 mg daily, supplementation should be limited to 28 days and is considered to be possibly unsafe.
With high dosage levels, the possibility of developing hyponatremia exists. This condition is marked by low sodium levels and can be very serious if not attended to promptly.
Diindolylmethane is a plant nutrient; not a hormone. It acts naturally to balance hormones in the body, lowering excessive levels of estrogen which may contribute to the development of disease.
DIM supplementation in the proper amounts seems to enhance testosterone/estrogen balancing and thereby generally improve health on various levels.
Choosing the best DIM capsules to supplement your diet with should be based on proper dosing as recommended for specific therapeutic purposes. These dosage levels should be determined by your doctor.

AR# 4093: 6.1i CPLD XC9500 Family - What do TIE and PGND mean in the fitter report?
6.1i CPLD XC9500 Family - What do TIE and PGND mean in the fitter report?
In the fitter report, unused pins are labeled as TIE or PGND, depending upon the implementation settings. What do TIE and PGND mean?
If "Create Programmable Ground Pins on Unused I/O" is not selected, the report will have TIE on the unused pins. Pins marked TIE are floating. TIE signifies that the pin is floating and that Xilinx recommends the pin be tied to a known value. Tying the pin to a known value lowers power consumption and reduces noise.
If "Create Programmable Ground Pins on Unused I/O" is selected, the unused pins will have PGND on them. PGND is Programmable Ground, and it ties the unused pins to the internal device ground plane. PGND provides additional benefits when the pin is externally tied to ground.
For details on using this option in your software package, please see (Xilinx Answer 3404).

Q: Unable to resolve FQDN, hostname works We are having an issue where computers who are not part of the domain cannot resolve the FQDN of a server (but regular hostname and ip do resolve). The strange thing is that this does work when the computer is added to the network.
Our domain name is rather long, its something along the lines of "team.dept.company.com", could that be it?
DHCP server passes along the proper DNS, Name and WINS servers, as well as the domain name. I thought that should've solved the problem, but apparently not really.
Our domain is still windows2003
EDIT: I am starting to believe I can narrow this down to a problem either with the vmware tools NIC drivers that are embedded in my winPE boot image, or to the fact that I'm trying to do this from inside a VM. Pinging a FQDN at the same time when using a different task sequence on a physical machine works.

A: From what I gather Hannes, you are using either MDT (Microsoft Deployment Toolkit) or WDS (Windows Deployment Server).  In that case, when you load into the PE environment you are not going to be able to interact with the resources you are trying to by design from Microsoft.  It's funny you'd ask this, because I just worked with a Microsoft consultant today on this very thing.  The PE environment is designed to keep a sort of hedge, if you will, around the systems that are having an OS deployed to them.  To interact with them you will need the right drivers for not only the PE environment, but also your system.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure you're talking about MDT with PE environment loading from PXE.  Let me know and I can troubleshoot further for you.
A link for reference:  http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/440812-imaging-with-mdt-and-wds-networking-issues

A: In the DNS settings in the advanced settings of the TCP/IP protocol on the NIC of the computers in question set the "Append these DNS suffixes (in order)" option with the appropriate DNS suffixes and configure the computers to use your internal DNS server for DNS.
EDIT
Oops. I didn't read your question and the comments carefully enough. I thought your problem was with resolving unqualified, single-label names. It appears that's not the case. You should configure the computers in question to use the DNS server as their DNS server. When they issue a request/query for the FQDN of a host your internal server should be able to answer it.
As a test you can run a packet capture program on one of the affected computers, start a capture, filter the capture for DNS, issue a query for the FQDN of a host on the network and look at the capture to see what the query is. This should show you if the query is for the proper FQDN or if other DNS suffixes are being appended to the query.

A: Add the FQDN into the DNS Suffix Search List on the computers that are not part of your domain. This is configured under Advanced TCP/IP settings, DNS tab ... Append these DNS suffixes (in order).

Steel frame goes up at Verdion's iPort, Doncaster
Verdion has commenced structural works on the first two logistics units at its £400 million iPort development in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
The steel frames for unit IP2a, comprising 214,850 sq ft (19,960 sq m) and Unit IP2b, totalling 131,750 sq ft (12,240 sq m), are now being erected on Phase 1 of the 700 acre (283 hectare) site, which is linked with Junction 3 of the M18 via the new FARRRS road.
The new Grade A warehouse space is specified to suit multiple users with the ability to double the initial floor area. The units are being constructed simultaneously and are scheduled for completion in May 2016.
John Clements, European Development Director at Verdion, comments: "It's great to see the frame going up for the first two units at iPort. We have now completed the infrastructure works to the entire northern part of the site. This means we can quickly deliver an additional 2.7 million sq ft of built to suit and speculative warehouse space for potential occupiers."
iPort is a Strategic Rail Freight Interchange (SRFI) which will deliver over 6 million sq ft (570,000 sq m) of Grade A logistics warehousing linked with a high specification rail freight intermodal container facility providing rail freight services with continental gauge clearance to all major UK ports and the Channel Tunnel. The scheme offers design and build warehouse/logistics units from 50,000 (4,645 sq m) to 1.2 million sq ft (111,480 sq m).
Gent Visick, CBRE and Cushman & Wakefield are letting agents for iPort.

The gift of music; Introducing Zonnewachter, the new album of Wouter en de Draak
With Christmas fast approaching we also meet that final big challenge of the year: 'What to give to your loved one who already has everything??' May I suggest the gift of music? And while I am at it, may I then suggest the newest album of Wouter en de Draak.
Three years after their debut album Wouter en de Draak; an album filled with lovely instrumental balfolk tunes bursting with influences from Celtic Brittany, Wouter Kuyper, and Joris Alblas return with their second full-length CD: Zonnewachter. And just as their debut CD, this new album makes a perfect gift to both the balfolk dancers and the instrumental folk lovers amongst you. I think it says enough that I added 5 songs to my personal CeltCast Spotify list!
Do you want to know more about this lovely CD? Then follow the link and dance with me. Let's celebrate Yule and/or Christmas as it should be done, balfolking through the living room. Shove your furniture to one side, press play, and dance until spring returns again. Let's celebrate life together with Wouter, Joris and their musical friends. Let's celebrate it with the sound of their new album Zonnewachter.
Merry Christmas and a blessed Yule
New Wave Paganfolk! Waldkauz Style!
Mythos, the second album by the German pagan folk band Waldkauz made a huge impact on me when I reviewed it a couple of years ago. It still is one of my favourite pagan folk albums ever! Since then I saw many a show of these beautiful souls, and loved them even more because of it. So it was with high expectations I put Labyrinth in my CD player. And???? Well, they delivered! Well, they delivered! I still find myself spontaneously humming songs from Labyrinth, even weeks after finishing my review. And I will probably do so for many more months to come, I am quite sure of that!
But Waldkauz didn't do it the easy way. They could have just made a Mythos part 2 and harvest on the success of that album. But they choose not to. Labyrinth shows a band developing themselves; a band showing an open-minded approach to their music; adding new elements into their sound; making them a truly unique band.
When you Google Waldkauz you will see that they open their website with: 'Waldkauz – new Wave Paganfolk'. So what does new wave paganfolk sound like? Well full of energy and extremely danceable! I can tell you that much. But you want to know more? Well you can! The whole story is just one click away. Follow the link and dance into the world of New Wave Paganfolk! Im Waldkauz stil selbstverstandlich!
Reconnecting with my passion: Jyoti Verhoeff's new album The Sky of You
Music has been a passion of mine since my teens. The nights I've spent in my candlelight room, sitting on my bed, record player on my right, sound boxes on both sides for maximum effect. Playing records like Dire Straits Alchemy Live , Mike Oldfield's Incantations, The Door's Absolutely live album, or Jeff Wayne's War of the worlds. I still cherish those nights. Somehow I've always felt a deep emotional connection with music. With a good song, I can feel every note played. Not that I can play myself or that I can sing, no I just connect with it. In a deeply emotional way. A good song makes me cry, shiver, smile, dance or feel deeply, deeply happy. It makes me let go of all the things that bother me at that specific point in time. Music has always been my means of escape, my way of coping with the world. A world that for a large part of my younger years was a big, scary, frightening thing.
I also always wanted to share that passion. I wanted to share the music that meant so much to me. I still do. Working for CeltCast gave me the platform to do that. To reach out to you all and share the beautiful music that I am allowed to hear. So I did. With all my heart.
The downside of it is: there is this risk of a passion becoming 'a job'. That you feel you are obliged to write with the same passion about every album you are asked to listen to. Which is impossible. One is bound to fail if one tries. So I failed, big time. So much so I almost wanted to stop writing reviews altogether.
And then Jyoti Verhoeff released this album. The Sky of You. As I listened to it Jyoti opened every single door to my heart. Her music took me on a much-needed journey. Deep into my soul. Hitting every nerve it found on its way. And as happened so many times before the music became the answer I needed. While listening I found my passion back. I wanted to write about this. I HAD to write about it! Not only about this CD, but also about some other lovely albums I had listened to during my absence the last months.
…..But first The Sky of You. And I sincerely hope you will enjoy this beautiful record just as much as I did. Here it is.
Presenting the music of HIMLA
A band that combines Scandinavian folk with singer-songwriter skills, artpop and chamber music, using the unique combination of vocals, guitar, cello and…..Bass Clarinet. It was an interesting mix I saw when I got my hands on HIMLA's debut album called Himla. I was intrigued, to say the least.
Well, it ended up being a brilliant mix! One that is right up my sleeve. And it will be up the sleeves of everybody that loves the alternative Scandinavian folk scene, trust me! So follow the link and dive into the world of HIMLA. A world that is as intriguing as it is beautiful.
Ha det gøy med oppdagelsesreisen!

5 Expenses You Can Do Without if You Want Financial Freedom #GuestPost
Guest Post by Daniel Ameduri
Monthly bills turn many Americans into jugglers. Paying for rent, food, or other necessities is a common problem, with 40 percent of Americans struggling to pay for at least one basic need, according to a recent survey by the Urban Institute.
For some consumers, spending too much on luxuries can make it difficult to pay for all of their necessities on time; a Pew study found that close to half of Americans spend more money than they make every month. Many people consider ways to cut monthly expenses, but then balk at eliminating certain items because the thought of doing without them seems too painful.
Has something you deemed a necessity actually been a money-draining luxury? Hard as it may seem to live without some monthly comforts, Daniel Ameduri says such rigid discipline can prove rewarding long-term – especially to millennials and younger generations planning toward their financial future.
"Let's face it, the economy has changed, and the pension system and conventional retirement are in the past," says Ameduri (www.futuremoneytrends.com), co-founder of the Future Money Trends newsletter. "If you really want to get ahead or make the choice to become wealthy, it will require you to do things that are not normal.
"It starts with sacrifice in your personal finance life, and ideas that might seem drastic are ways to save real money."
Ameduri lists five effective cost-cutting measures to save money every month:
Get rid of your smartphone. "I know, that's like asking people to get rid of a body part," Ameduri says, "but ditching your smartphone can be a big cost-saver. There's the high cost of the phones plus a basic cell phone plan; the latter would rid you of $500 or more a year." Flip phones are a far cheaper alternative while providing basic functionality, Ameduri says, and tablets, also considerably less expensive than smartphones, have similar features.
Cancel the cable bill. "Who doesn't pay too much for cable, or cable and internet in the same package?" says Ameduri. "Replace the cable bill with Netflix and Hulu, or search around for what you want to watch on YouTube."
Avoid car payments. Ameduri says one of the worst mistakes people make is having a car payment, which is usually, next to mortgage or rent, the highest monthly expense. He recommends diligently shopping for a reliable used car, owning it, making sure it gets great gas mileage and keeping it properly maintained. "Your life is too short to be making payments for something that depreciates daily and costs so much per month," Ameduri says. "A car shouldn't be a matter of pride, especially if you are just borrowing money to drive it."
Don't be a fashion plate. Getting too caught up in what we wear can get expensive, Ameduri warns. He says it makes sense to shop at discount stores, which more people are doing. "You can look nice buying clothes for half or two-thirds of the cost of top-line brands," he says. "Avoiding high-end brands is a smart way to save money. Someone who truly wants to change their financial position won't care about the perception of shopping at a second-tier store."
Stop eating meat. Meat can eat up much of a food budget, and Ameduri says there are smarter alternatives for main courses. "It's overpriced and it really isn't that healthy for you anyway," Ameduri says. "Instead, eat beans and raw nuts for your protein. Think of all the money you will save by grilling vegetables and eating salads."
"Some sacrifices may seem difficult early on," Ameduri says, "but when you don't feel the monthly pinch of financial pain anymore, they're definitely worth it."
