Q&A: Empower Indigenous Women to Assert Their Rights :: Women around the world are exposed to domestic violence, sexual and economic exploitation, gender-based violence, female genital mutilation and child marriage. For indigenous women and girls, however, the risk of being victims of such issues is especially high.
In light of this fact, the Philippines-based Tebtebba Foundation advocates for indigenous peoples’ rights, working to ensure that the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) is properly implemented.

Charles Krauthammer's global warming folly | Dana Nuccitelli :: Krauthammer gets climate science and policy wrong in calling President Obama a "flat-earther"Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer recently wrote an opinion piece that was published by many media outlets including The Washington Post, claiming that President Obama's Climate Action Plan is a "folly." In fact, the real follies lie in Krauthammer's arguments.Krauthammer's article begins in a schizophrenic manner, claiming that "Global temperatures have been flat for 16 years — a curious time to unveil" a climate action plan, but then admitting that this "doesn't mean there is no global warming." Indeed it does not. In fact, over the past 16 years, the planet has accumulated an amount of heat equivalent to about 2 billion Hiroshima atomic bomb detonations. Krauthammer objects to the Presi...

But nobody thinks about the economics of the issue. How many people are we going to save by spending this $1.4 billion, even assuming it works?To answer that question, let's look at the food illness fatality figures offered by the CDC:• Out of the 5,000 food-borne illness deaths each year in the United States, only 1,809 are "attributable to foodborne transmission" according to the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no5/mead.htm#Table%203).• E.coli, which is often quoted in the big scare stories about food safety, only kills 78 people a year through food-borne transmission (52 plus 26, fro...

Charles Krauthammer's global warming folly | Dana Nuccitelli :: Krauthammer gets climate science and policy wrong in calling President Obama a "flat-earther"Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer recently wrote an opinion piece that was published by many media outlets including The Washington Post, claiming that President Obama's Climate Action Plan is a "folly." In fact, the real follies lie in Krauthammer's arguments.Krauthammer's article begins in a schizophrenic manner, claiming that "Global temperatures have been flat for 16 years — a curious time to unveil" a climate action plan, but then admitting that this "doesn't mean there is no global warming." Indeed it does not. In fact, over the past 16 years, the planet has accumulated an amount of heat equivalent to about 2 billion Hiroshima atomic bomb detonations. Krauthammer objects to the Presi...

With food safety bill, U.S. government will spend nearly $1 million per person to prevent food-borne illness deaths :: (NaturalNews) The recently-passed Food Safety Modernization Act, which was passed in order to prevent food-borne illness deaths in the USA, will cost $1.4 billion over the first five years. But nobody thinks about the economics of the issue. How many people are we going to save by spending this $1.4 billion, even assuming it works?To answer that question, let's look at the food illness fatality figures offered by the CDC:• Out of the 5,000 food-borne illness deaths each year in the United States, only 1,809 are "attributable to foodborne transmission" according to the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no5/mead.htm#Table%203).• E.coli, which is often quoted in the big scare stories about food safety, only kills 78 people a year through food-borne transmission (52 plus 26, fro...

Traumatic brain injuries caused by traffic accidents in five European countries: outcome and public health consequences :: Conclusion: TBI are significantly associated with RTA and thus, tackling them together could be more effective. The population at highest risk of RTA-related TBI are young males (in our sample median age: 32.5 years). Pedestrians have the most severe TBI with the worst outcome. Both groups should be a priority for public health action. (Source: The European Journal of Public Health)

"The continuing increase in health care expenditures is threatening the sustainability of the health care system and the economy of many developed countries...

When it comes to prevention of chronic disease, what one policy change would have the greatest impact on moving from "promise" to "results?" :: Thumbnail: Tags: conversationsContributorskenneth thorpepfcdola akinboboyeassociation of black cardiologistschronic diseaseContributors: 1200120112051207116112091212Contributions: Read Kenneth Thorpe's bio
Chronic disease prevalence directly impacts our nation's health care system, economic well-being and overall way of life. More than one in four Americans struggle with multiple chronic conditions, including one out of every 15 children. For Medicare specifically, more than half enrolled in the program have five or more chronic conditions, which drives up health care costs and lowers the quality of life seniors enjoy. This is clearly a costly problem - for the 27 percent of Americans with multiple chronic conditions, almost $2 out of every $3 is spent on their h...
