Suicidehttp:
//www.relst.uiuc.edu/durkheim/Summaries/suicide.htmlA
report with disturbing implications was released this week by the
World Health Organization indicating that suicide claims close to one
million lives each year, and that this figure could rise to 1.5
million by 2020. The report also noted that suicide kills more people
each year than road traffic accidents in most European countries, and
that worldwide, suicide claims more lives than homicide and warfare
combined. The report was released in anticipation of World Suicide
Prevention Day, which happens to fall on September 10 this year. The
report also contains suicide rates for different parts of the world,
including the finding that the highest rates are found in Eastern
Europe, and that the rates tend to be relatively low in Muslim
countries. Not surprisingly, firearms tend to be the preferred
instruments of suicide, primarily due to the fact that "few people
survive attempts to shoot themselves." On a slightly more upbeat note,
Lars Mehlum, the president of the International Association for
Suicide Prevention commented this week that suicide "…is largely
preventable if the public is made more aware of the problem and
governments show the political will to tackle it."
The
first link leads to a news report from MSNBC about the report on
suicide issued by the World Health Organization this week. The second
link will take visitors to additional coverage of this subject from
this Wednesday's New Scientist online edition. The third link leads to
the homepage of the International Association for Suicide Prevention
where visitors can learn about the group's activities and also about
World Suicide Prevention Day. The fourth link leads to a very thorough
site on suicide prevention created by the World Health Organization.
Here visitors can read suicide reports on many countries around the
world, learn about advocacy efforts, and look over empirical research
on the subject of suicide. The fifth link will take visitors to the
very pragmatic and helpful site created by the National Strategy for
Suicide Prevention program (contained within the Department of Health
& Human Services) that offers a number of resources for suicide
prevention and numerous materials in Spanish and English. On a related
note, the sixth link leads to a recent report from National Public
Radio on current genetic research that is helping reveal what causes
depression and what the best options for treating this condition may
be. The final link provides a brief outline of Emile Durkheim's famous
study of suicide that may pique visitors' interest in this emotional
and sensitive topic. [From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout

National Institutes of Health proposes
full, open, public access to biomedical
research
09/09/2004 12:44 PM
The National
Institutes of Health is recommending that researchers who receive NIH funding make their
work available to the world for no cost six months
after completion:
Under the proposed policy, journal peer-review committees would vet
papers that report results from NIH-sponsored research. Once the
journal has edited and published the articles, editors would upload
them to a searchable Web site and NIH would make them publicly
available within 6 months.
The NIH initially recommended immediate publication, but
added the
six month embargo as a compromise with publishers, who argued that
immediate availability would
undermine their
business model.

The Fight Between Sharing Culture And
Owning Culture
The Fight Between Sharing Culture And
Owning Culture
06/22/2005 02:17 AMIt seems that museums are finally starting to realize that the digital
age represents a real opportunity for them to
reach many new people by digitizing their
offerings and sharing the culture they represent across a much wider
audience than a physical museum allows. It seems that many museums
are having trouble figuring out how to digitize their collections, and
would welcome help in doing so. However, another story points out how
that can cause problems when the people involved get stuck on
intellectual property issues. Apparently some people who created 3D
digital versions of Michelangelo's David are freaking out that if
they share the digitization without some form of copy protection
people might (gasp!)
share it without permission. Wait a second... isn't
that what they should
want? That would allow them to share the
cultural wonder with many, many more people, and allow them to
experience it in ways never possible before. That's a
good
thing, not something to be worried about. However, in an age
where people seem to think that every idea, concept, software or piece
of data needs to be "owned" and locked up, apparently it's the natural
response -- and that's unfortunate for every culture.

L
oose lips sink ships!!!1 (There be images, some quite big
here) I suspect a lot of MeFi shares my obsession with
propaganda
(and propaganda-style)
posters,
both domestic and
foreign, as well as the
photoshops
that the
Something Awful
or
Fark crowds generate. CoolGov
has a link today to the
Office of the National National
Counterintelligence Executive and their Anti-Espionage
poster collection.
Some are great, some are almost
pure propaganda, and some show how
obsessed with secrecy our government has become. That lead
me to Google to look for posters on the
*.gov and
*.mil domains. Check
out the posters for
"Venemous Snakes of Afghanistan and Pakistan",
or what the
well dressed
airmen is wearing (*note the "Essentials"), posters from
the NOAA telling you that
"lightn
ing kills", the
Code of Ethics for
Government Officers and Employees, and this one telling GI's why
smoking could kill them.

David Pescovitz:
I love the design of this vintage anti-vandalism poster. (Click on it
for a larger image.) According to
this site, it
was part of a series printed after WWII by the Works Progress
Administration. Here's more on the WPA Posters from the Library of
Congress's
"By the
People, For the People" exhibit:
"The By the People, For the People:
Posters from the WPA, 1936-1943 collection consists of 908 boldly
colored and graphically diverse original posters produced from 1936 to
1943 as part of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal. Of the 2,000 WPA
posters known to exist, the Library of Congress's collection of more
than 900 is the largest. These striking silkscreen, lithograph, and
woodcut posters were designed to publicize health and safety programs;
cultural programs including art exhibitions, theatrical, and musical
performances; travel and tourism; educational programs; and community
activities in seventeen states and the District of Columbia. The
posters were made possible by one of the first U.S. Government
programs to support the arts and were added to the Library's holdings
in the 1940s."
A reprint of this Result poster is on eBay right now, but of course
I'd rather have an original.

Michael-Anne!)
