Capacity building
Environmentally-related childhood diseases represent an enormous global public health problem, particularly in developing countries and impoverished communities, where there is often lack of awareness and knowledge about the effects of chemicals and other environmental hazards on children's health.
WHO recognizes the need to educate and train health care providers at all levels in the prevention, diagnosis and management of children's diseases linked to environmental risk factors. Efforts are undertaken to enable those "in the front line", the health professionals dealing with children and adolescents' health, to recognize, assess and prevent diseases linked to, or triggered by environmental factors. Even in the most advanced countries, education of health care providers on environmental health issues tends to be limited or just non-existent. Furthermore, materials designed for use in developed countries are not suitable in developing countries, where the environmental conditions of children are different.
The Bangkok Statement (Area 2: Health and Research) urges WHO to promote the recognition, assessment and study of environmental factors that have an impact on the health and development of children. More specifically, to incorporate children's environmental health into the training of health care providers, and to promote the use of the Pediatric Environmental History. To this effect, WHO is planning and implementing a number of training activities and undertaking the preparation of information and training materials. The work is done by experienced professionals from both developed and developing countries that prepare and/or review the draft materials on specific topics and participate in the related peer-review, testing and training activities. Training workshops provide an opportunity to increase communications between professionals from different parts of the world and enhance the potential for developing collaboration schemes in research areas. Once the materials are approved and harmonized, plans are in hand for making them widely available both in printing and on the web, the activities include:
- Handbook on Children's Environmental Health - a collection of information that focus mainly on the needs of developing countries, inspired on the Green Book of the American Academy of Paediatrics (published 2005).
- Training Package for Health Providers - internationally harmonized modules on key issues for paediatricians and paediatric nurses, family and public health professionals.
- The Paediatric Environmental History Taking - a set of basic and concise questions, part of the standard medical history, that enable health professionals to identify and record children's risks of exposure to environmental threats in different settings.
The paediatric environmental history
Recording children's exposure to environmental health threats: A "green page" in the medical record
- Leaflets for health care providers - concise information on what health care professionals should know about selected environmental risks (e.g. water pollution, lead, chemicals……) Their preparation is done in close cooperation with the International Paediatric Association (IPA).

Brevard bounces No. 36 Charleston, 5-4March 11, 2009
Tornados beat a ranked opponent for the first time in 2009
Hilton Head, S.C. - Brevard College scored perhaps their biggest win of the season Wednesday, beating No. 36 Charleston (W. Va.), 5-4. The win is the first of the season for Paul Thomson's squad against a ranked team.
Brevard (8-3) won two of the three doubles matches. Lindsay Shaeffer and Kim Dixon won a tight battle in the top round, 8-6 over Golden Eagles Neha Rana and Bre Moyle, 8-6, and at No. 2, Lindsay Hostetter and Kayley Duval won an equally fierce battle, 9-8 (10-8) over Alyssa Hackworth and Katie Kim. The only point for Charleston in pairs came at No. 3, where Sarah Monsheimer and Alexa Kay beat Merek Slagle and Sara Douglas, 8-2.
The Golden Eagles (16-4) won the top flight singles point, as Moyle took down Shaffer, 6-2, 6-2, but Hostetter rallied at No. 2, beating Rana 6-3, 6-0. At No. 4, Dixon fell to Hackworth, 6-0, 6-1, and the fifth flight went to Kim, 7-5, 6-4 over Jennifer Nyman. Douglas won the No. 6 match for Brevard, however. 6-1, 7-6 (7-4).
The final match on the courts was the third flight, between Duval and Monsheimer. The Tornado won and epic struggle in the end, clinching the match for Brevard with a 6-4, 1-6, 11-9 victory.
"The number 36 must be lucky for us this season," Thomson joked after the match. The Brevard men's team also beat the No. 36 team in the country earlier this season, a 5-4 win over then-No. 36 Queens on February 21.
Brevard wraps up their spring break trip Thursday with a match against Upper Iowa, while Charleston faces Baldwin-Wallace.

DeLoach's mission is to produce exceptional wines that spotlight the singular personality of the Russian River Valley in a socially responsible, environmentally sensitive way. They seek to foster a better understanding of the Valley's unique terroir, with its rare and bountiful convergence of the sea, the soil and the stars. View all DeLoach Wines
About Russian RiverView a map of Russian River wineries
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable FactsThe proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

transcript:
Even though NASA’s human space flight program has been cut back, its unmanned programs are forging ahead.
This month, NASA is launching the Juno spacecraft aboard an Atlas Five rocket, headed to the solar system’s largest planet- Jupiter.
For the most part Jupiter remains a mystery.
SOUNDBITE: Steve Matousek, Juno Proposal Mgr., NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
“When I first started working on Juno, it blew me away that we knew so little about the biggest planet in the solar system. For example, we don’t know what the core is made out of. Why is the magnetic field so large, and so powerful? And how far down do the clouds go?”
“When we fly by close on Juno and start getting that science data back, we’ll be able to answer those questions.”
To get to Jupiter, the Juno spacecraft will be fueled by solar power, and while on its orbit around the sun will get a push from earth.
SOUNDBITE: Jan Chodas, Juno Project Manager, NASA Jet Propulson Laboratory
“On the Juno mission, we initially launch from the earth, we fly out past the asteroid belts. We do a burn at that point, to bring ourselves back in towards the earth, and we use what we call a gravity assist , or kind of a slingshot of the earth’s gravity well to then propel us out towards Jupiter.”
It will take 5 years for Juno to reach the big planet, but once there, the spacecraft will orbit its poles 33 times. Its instruments will measure the amount of water and ammonia in the atmosphere, as well as map the atmosphere, auroras and interior.
Maybe by the end of 2016, scientists will have a better understanding of Jupiter’s now-unknown core, and the planet’s origin.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Less than three weeks
after graduating the second half of its largest class in college
history, Lindsey Wilson College welcomed the first installment of
its Class of 2017 on Thursday.
The college held the first of five EDGE days scheduled for the summer. EDGE --
which stands for education, development, growth and experience --
is a daylong orientation program for incoming freshmen. The day
introduces freshmen to the LWC community and gives them
opportunities to meet the college's faculty, staff and
Thursday's EDGE attracted 154 incoming freshmen. Two more
will be held Friday and Saturday, then the final two will be July
"EDGE represents the beginning of the next step in the
journey of life for our incoming students," said LWC Student
Activities Director Jayne Hopkins, who oversees EDGE. "Many
students will meet other students and staff in their EDGE groups
that they will stay connected with throughout their four years at
Hannah Hogue of Danville, Ky., was one of those freshmen
who was looking forward to meeting people. Hogue, who attended
Thursday's EDGE day with her mother, Karen, graduated from Boyle
County High School on Friday night. Six days later, she was already
a college freshman.
"It's all happened very fast," Hogue said. "I'm a little
nervous because I just feel like I'm going to be the awkward
person. I don't like change that much."
Hogue said she was attracted to LWC because of the small
campus and "family atmosphere." That also helped seal the deal for
her mother.
"I was worried about her going to a bigger school in a
bigger city," Karen Hogue said. "But I was very pleased when she
decided to come (to LWC) instead."
In the morning, student EDGE leaders conducted
team-building sessions that introduced freshmen to other new
incoming students. They were also told about the 2013-14 common
reading for freshmen, Kelsey Timmerman's Where am I Wearing: A
Global Tour to the Countries, Factories, and People that Make Our
"Part of our goal for you during your freshman year is to help
you adjust to college, but we also want to introduce you to how to
think critically about the world around you and issues that affect
your life," Freshman Advisor Heather Davis told a group of freshmen
in Goodhue Academic Building.
After lunch, incoming students and their parents convened in
Biggers Sports Center to finalize financial-aid paperwork, receive
a parking permit and library card, receive a class schedule, and
view LWC's academic and extracurricular opportunities.

BWW Interviews - Selma Gives the Real Scoop Behind ABC's THE BACHELOR
Selma Alameri, 29, a real estate developer from San Diego, CA, was enthralled with her one-on-one date with Sean when the day began with a limousine ride and a private jet. But soon thereafter, she was shocked to find them in a daring rock climbing escapade amid the desert landscape of the Joshua Tree National Park in Twenty-nine Palms, California. Despite Selma having reservations about getting intimate with Sean -- she did not want to disappoint her mother -- she captured a rose at the conclusion of a romantic dinner. Now as Selma continues her quest to win Sean's heart in the fifth week, she will find herself with the 10 remaining bachelorettes in picturesque Whitefish, Montana. She is hoping to take another step in the ultimate goal of receiving the last rose and getting past all of the drama, as Sean questions whether he will find his soul mate among these women.
Explosive drama and surprise eliminations mark a two-night BACHELOR special event, which kicks off tonight, February 4 (8:00-10:01 P.M., ET) and continues on a special night and time on Tuesday, February 5 (9:00-11:00 P.M., ET). In a recent phone conversation, Selma gave the inside scoop on her one-on-one date with Sean and what really goes down when the cameras stop rolling!
Do you think the fact that your family's strict values, the fact that they didn't want you kissing someone on TV, put you at a disadvantage? And if so, does that mean Sean wouldn't be the guy for you?
I did feel like it did put me at a disadvantage. I was afraid of that coming into it and I explained that to my family also. I was like you know I'm going there to win someone's heart so all these other woman can show their affection and I can't. You know I'm afraid that he's going to take it as I don't really like him. But at the end of the day Sean is just such an amazing man that he totally understood and it really didn't matter. So, you know, I did feel it would put me at a disadvantage but end of the day no I don't think it did.
You told the cameras during Monday night's episode that you weren't planning on kissing Sean until you were the last woman standing. Were you kind of joking about that or completely serious? f you made it all the way to the end, would you literally hold out on kissing Sean until that final moment of the season?
At that moment, I was kind of saying what I thought I was going to do - like I want to hold out and I was just rolling with the punches. I didn't know what was going to happen. I didn't know if I was going to end up kissing him or if I wasn't, because things change. Life happens, you know?
You don't know - you act on emotion. You don't know what is going to happen. So, for that moment, yeah, I really did mean it saying it. But you'll have to wait and see, you know, what ended up happening.
In his blog, CHRIS HARRISON said you wanted to kiss Sean and really didn't necessarily seem to believe that dating publicly is wrong nor is kissing, but you felt compelled just out of respect for your parents and their beliefs to refrain from kissing Sean. Did you develop a slight feeling of resentment or regret as the season progressed.
No, no I 'm the type of person who never regrets anything I do. Honestly I feel like everything is meant to happen. But I -- I really don't believe that showing affection in public is a bad thing like my mom does. But you know at the end of the day she is my mother and she had one simple request. She didn't mind that I was going to do the show, which is huge in our culture. You know, it's big enough to just be going on a dating show but her one request just please just don't make out with him on television, don't be that girl, you know. So to me it was honestly a simple request and I needed to test Sean to see if he would respect my family and my culture as well, you know.
Because we do have just strong culture, you know, and my family is so big in my life so it was sort of a test for him as well and you know it was a huge test for me to see if I could resist even, you know.
A lot has been said about whether or not someone with the values that you obviously exhibited on Monday night that this is the right place for you. Did you ever regret going on the show?
Well my thoughts on that was my family didn't say don't show emotion and don't fall in love. They simply said do not make out with somebody on television. You know, so to me I don't need to make out with a man to know whether I like him or to know whether our lives are going in the same path and whether I can see a future with him. It's more so, you know, his Touch his -- his caring, the way he looks at me, that's really what matters at the end of the day not making out with him. So no, I was like I can easily fall in love with him and without having to make out with him, you know.
Really I feel like he thought yes I could tell whether I could be with this girl for the rest of my life or not without having to make out with her either because I saw it in his eyes, you know. He could easily see himself falling in love with somebody without having to physically, you know, do it.
If say you do end up with Sean in the end, is he someone that could even fit in with your family? Would be accepted because he's obviously grown up fairly differently than you.
I's funny because yeah my brother-in-law is actually blonde hair, blue eyes, a catholic, very American and our family is American. We do live the American culture, you know, we do date. It's not like we don't. My mom clearly knows we do. My mom knows I've kissed a boy before, but and she's very goofy and loving and we do very normal things.
But it was more so just for the people that, you know, that is in our (inaudible) circle. She was like, you know, I just don't want them to have to talk about us, I don't want, you know, I don't want to give them ammo and, you know, for them to think that you guys are bad Girls like. But in our family, clearly we date, my sister is married to an American boy and it's not -- it's not he would have fit right in. And all my other sisters, you know, they have boyfriends, they're all American.
Every guy I've ever dated is American, so he would have definitely fit right in. You know he just had to stand the test of time for that moment.
I was so impressed with the way you scrambled up that steep cliff. It appeared at the beginning that you had a fear of heights and that it wasn't going to happen and then you got right up there. I was just wondering what that experience was like.
You know it's so funny because they don't show a whole lot of how scared I really was. I was like freaking out I was so nervous because I really do have a fear of heights and I'd never been rock climbing before and I mean I do love adventure and I hike all the time but to go climb a vertical hundred foot rock, I was at the bottom of that thing staring at it like I don't even know where you want me to start.
And I'm looking at him like if I survive this you would be lucky if I still like you after this. But at the end of the day it was like survival mode and I literally just hauled ass up that rock. I was like I can't even think about anything, I can't think about where I am, what I'm doing. I just blocked it out of my mind and just started crawling like go team go.
And when I got up there I never loved Sean so much because he really did at that moment everyone is like oh he should have given you the glamour date and I'm like no way. He really gave me a chance to prove to the world that like you know I'm more than just a glamour girl, because I am. I actually -- I'm in gym clothes my whole life, you know.
So I was really really happy and I really did love him so much for giving me the opportunity to prove myself that way.
It seems a bit unfair that some Girls get the 'glamour dates' as you called them and others have to jump off the top of a skyscraper or do what you did and I was just wondering if you thought that that was fair.
I think it's totally fair. I didn't mind it one bit. I loved it as a matter of fact because for him to have taken me on a glamour date it would have been so cliché. Oh take the glamour girl on a glamour date, please. You know like think of something like exciting, be a little more clever than that. But I mean taking an Iraqi to the desert, I don't know. I was like OK.
But I mean I honestly I do think it's fair, I think that he does it -- he picks certain Girls for certain things just to kind of test them and that's the whole point of the dates. You want to test the person you're with you want to see if this is going to work for them because these are probably things that he would do on a daily basis and he wants to see can this girl handle that.
OK let's take this girl to a glamour date and see if she could handle that you know, if this is something she would like doing. So honestly I think it's very smart that he takes them out of their element and kind of tests them a little bit.
Who did you get along with best at the house you said you kind of kept to yourself but was there one particular girl that you got along with well?
You know I didn't like keep to myself I just kept away from the drama. I actually got along with all the girls. I -- I really did but I would have to say I was closest with AshLee. You know her and I were sort of the oldest ones in the house. She might kill me for saying that, but we were so we -- we got a long best but I really did enjoy all the Girls that lived in the house. They were all amazing. Well, with the exception of one.

(119ml) Ladibugs Mint Serum is a nontoxic serum to aid in head lice elimination. Ladibugs Mint Serum is recommended for use with active lice. Ladibugs Mint Serum should be used every other day in conjunction with Ladibugs Mousse and Ladibugs Metal Microgrooved Comb until there are no bugs or nits being combed out. Ladibugs Mint Serum is safe for all ages. Does my child have lice?You may suspect that your child has lice if he or she has any of the following symptoms: Tickling feeling of something moving in the hair. Excessive itching, usually caused by an allergic reaction to the bites. Irritability and difficulty sleeping; head lice are most active in the dark. Sores on the head caused by scratching. Here's what to do:First, look closely for crawling nymphs or adults. Finding them can be difficult. There are typically few of them, and they can move quickly. However, they are usually visible to the naked eye. Using a magnifying lens and/or light may help. Next, look for nits (eggs). In an active case of head lice, you'll most likely find nits within 1/4 inch of the scalp. If you only find nits more than 1/4 inch from the scalp, the infestation could be old and may not need to be treated. If you are still unsure, take your child to the doctor, a school nurse or other health care provider. Or call the 24-hour Ladibugs hotline at 855-804-8889 and they'll give you advice and guidance. What is the life span of head lice?Nits usually take about 8-9 days to hatch. Lice nymphs mature into adults about 9-12 days after hatching from the egg. They shed their exoskeleton 3 times within the first week before becoming adults. Adult lice can live about 30 days on a person's head. A female louse can lay 150 eggs in her lifetime. If eggs come off the host, they usually die within 48 hours. Know your chemicalsKerosene derivatives. Pesticides. Petroleum. Are we REALLY prepared to expose our children or ourselves to chemicals like these? No over the counter or prescription head lice product has been proven 100% safe and effective. And repeated use of products with chemicals can lead to ongoing outbreaks, toxic build up in the system and resistance to the pesticides. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for testing and ensuring most pesticide head lice treatments in the U.S. are safe. However, they ask: Why risk it when there are natural alternatives that are proven effective without fear of any of the harmful side effects? The regulation of pediculicides pesticides (lice-killing pesticides) by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has created the misconception that they must be safe. These pesticides – found in products like roach spray and weed killer – are alarmingly overused on children with lice. Before you make a choice on what to use, here's what you should know about the chemicals in most over-the counter and prescription head lice treatment products. Lindane (Kwell)Though this toxic chemical has been globally banned for use in agriculture, it is still the working ingredient in more than 2 million prescriptions for head lice and scabies. New York followed California in banning the chemical compound and it's forbidden in 52 countries. Despite evidence of its health dangers, parts of the U.S. still allow prescriptions containing Lindane in pharmaceutical compounds. Lindane can have a number of health impacts, including neurological effects, cancer, blood disorders, endocrine disruption, liver toxicity, reproductive effects and immunological effects. Malathion (Maldison)Is a highly toxic derivative of nerve gas which works by disrupting the chemical reactions in lice and human nervous systems. Extremely toxic orally, Malathion is a possible carcinogen, mutagen (mutates DNA) and endocrine disrupter. In its raw state, malathion is readily absorbed into the skin. SolventsHead lice pesticide preparations contain both "inert" and "active" ingredients. Active ingredients are the chemicals that kill the lice. Inert ingredients are the carriers for these chemicals. In lice treatment products, it's common for active chemical ingredients to be dissolved in an inert solvent. However, "inert" does not equal "harmless." Exposure to these toxic solvents can be significantly worse than the actual chemicals themselves. The case for natural treatmentEach person is unique and can react differently to chemicals. Although the FDA requires testing before the product is approved, it can't foresee potential problems in every individual. It's common for the FDA to hear about issues after the damage has been done. The National Pediculosis Association (NPA) warns there are many instances chemical head lice products should not be used. In general, children's growing bodies are far less able to process these chemicals. They have less developed immune systems, their detoxification processes are not yet developed and their organs are still growing. This makes them far more susceptible and sensitive to the toxic threats of pesticides like Lindane, Malathion and Permethrin. Resistance to chemical treatmentsMany chemical-laden lice treatment products become less effective against head lice as the lice build up a tolerance to the different chemicals. Resistance is caused when the person is infected with 1 or 2 adult lice who are naturally resistant to the chemical and do not die. These 2 adults then reproduce and you have a whole new batch of lice that are resistant to that chemical. When you re-treat with the same product, it is not effective on the new super breed of lice. Natural lice treatmentMany claim that natural remedies are 'anecdotal' (unreliable) and are not scientifically proven. But independent studies of parents and caregivers show that there are many different natural therapies that are completely effective.Ladibugs all-natural products prevent and treat lice without pesticides or other toxic, harsh chemicals. Ingredients like yeast-based enzymes, olive oil and peppermint naturally eliminate and prevent lice infestations. Developed with a chemist and a team of hair care professionals, Ladibugs products include both lice elimination and prevention solutions. The 411 on liceThe head louse, or Pediculus humanus capitis, is a parasitic insect that can be found on the head and, more rarely, the eyebrows and eyelashes of people. Head lice feed on human blood several times a day and live close to the scalp to maintain their body temperature. Learning all you can about lice – and fast – will help your family get through this ordeal quickly. They've gathered all the important information you need to know. But if they haven't answered your questions, don't hesitate to call their hotline. They're here to help. Your questions answeredHere are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about lice.Not getting what you need? They'll answer your questions — any time. Really. Just call their hotline at 855.804.8889. Where do head lice come from?Head lice have been around for millions of years. In fact, dried up lice and their eggs have been found on the hair of Egyptian mummies! Head lice do not come out of the air or from the ground. They are human parasites that feed on blood and travel from one head to another. Lice cannot survive more than 48 hours off the head. However, head lice that are still alive off the human head are capable of infesting a new human host. Who can get head lice?Anyone. A person's degree of cleanliness or personal hygiene has little or nothing to do with getting head lice. A common misconception is that lice infestations are a result of poor hygienic practices. In fact, head lice actually seem to prefer clean hair to dirty hair. How are head lice spread?Head lice can be spread whenever there is direct head to head contact with an infested individual. Less frequently, lice are also transmitted between people by head-to-hand contact and by items such as hats, hair ties, scarves, pillows, etc. However, scientists disagree on how often this type of "fomite" transmission – that is, transmission from an object contaminated with lice – really occurs. Is it possible to get head lice from sharing a pillow or hat with a person who has head lice?Lice cannot survive off of a human host longer than 48 hours, and they are uniquely adapted for living in human head hair. They generally do not like to leave the protected environment created within head hair. If a louse did come off an infested individual and hide in a pillow or hat, it may be possible for the louse to infest another individual who uses the pillow or hat. What are the symptoms of head lice?Head lice are most commonly found on the scalp, behind the ears and near the neckline at the base of the head. Unless seen, symptoms of infestation are easy to miss. Symptoms include a tickling sensation, or feeling something moving through the hair. An allergic reaction to the bites causes itching. Viable eggs are usually located within 1/4 inch (6mm) of the scalp. What do head lice and their eggs look like?The adult louse is no bigger than a sesame seed and is grayish-white or tan. Nymphs are smaller. Lice eggs (often called nits) look like tiny yellow, tan, or brown dots before they hatch. After hatching, the remaining shell looks white or clear. Do head lice jump?No! Head lice do not jump, fly or swim. They are good crawlers, however, and will readily move from one person to another when the hair of the two people is in contact. Do head lice carry or transmit any disease?There are no reliable data to suggest that head lice carry or transmit disease organisms. What can I do to get rid of head lice and the eggs?Contact a LouseBuster™ Certified Operator for diagnosis and head lice treatment. Increasing numbers of consumers are finding that the most popular treatments for head lice – including chemical shampoos and home remedies – are largely ineffective. Head lice are rapidly evolving chemical resistance to many of the traditional pesticide-based control methods. Louse combs can be effective for removing lice and eggs, but the comb out process can be very tedious. Many busy parents do not have the time or patience for it. In desperation, some parents resort to home remedies such as bug spray, mayonnaise or kerosene. But there is little hard evidence that these remedies are effective. Some home remedies, in fact, can actually be harmful. As a result, parents and school authorities are searching for a safe, fast and effective treatment that will solve the problem and help keep children in or quickly return them to school. The LouseBuster™ treatment provides exactly that: a safe treatment that is highly effective at not only killing the live lice but also their eggs thus making it a smart choice when dealing with head lice. What is the life cycle of head lice and their eggs? Eggs: Eggs are laid by adult female lice and usually take about 8 to 9 days to hatch into nymphs. Nymphs: Nymphs are immature lice that mature into adults about 9 to 12 days after hatching from the egg. Adults: Adult lice can live about 30 days on a person's head. If they come off the host, they die within 24 to 48 hours. Female adult lice lay about 4 eggs per day and can lay about 88 eggs during their lifetime. Do pets get head lice?No. Head lice cannot live on pets. Head lice can only live on human heads. What are some steps I can take to help prevent and control the spread of head lice? Avoid head to head contact during play, sleepovers, or other activities at home, school, and elsewhere. Do not share combs, brushes or towels used by an infested person. Do not share clothing such as hats, scarves, coats, hair ribbons or barrettes. Machine wash and dry clothing, bed linens, and other items that an infested person used or wore during the previous 2 days using a hot water laundry cycle and high heat drying cycle. Do not use fumigant sprays or fogs. They are not necessary to control head lice and can be toxic if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Debugging lice mythsI must clean every surface of my house with a strong pesticide. Fumigating will kill the lice. Lice carry disease. These are all common misconceptions about lice. Here are some more myths de-bunked: Myth: Lice is the result of poor hygiene.Reality: One of the oldest beliefs is that head lice prefer "dirty kids." It's simply not true. Head lice actually prefer clean hair to dirty hair. What they are attracted to is blood. Myth: Lice are hard to get.Reality: Head lice do not jump, fly or swim. They are good crawlers however, and easily move from person to person in as little as 30 seconds. This makes young kids particularly susceptible because they are in close contact in schools. Myth: Lice-infested items must be washed in hot water.Reality: It is not necessary to wash everything that comes in contact with the lice. 30 minutes in the dryer will dehydrate and kill lice. Vacuuming floors and furniture should do the trick, too — no need to disinfect the whole house. Myth: No itch means no lice.Reality: While the most common symptom is itching of the head and neck, the only sure fire way to diagnose head lice is through thorough head checks. If you know of an outbreak in your child's school or camp, check your child daily and use preventive products. Myth: There's a lice epidemic.Reality: Though there is no evidence of a current head lice epidemic, the bugs have been getting harder to eliminate and have grown increasingly resistant to prescription drugs and over-the-counter remedies. Myth: Home remedies like mayonnaise and petroleum jelly are effective treatments for lice.Reality: While using chemical-free methods for killing lice is a better alternative, home remedies like these are not proven to do the job. All-natural products made specifically to treat lice are the best option. By the numbersThe statistics are staggering. And few families escape having to deal with a lice infestation at least once. If you learn your child is infected, don't panic! They're here to help. Below are some facts and what you can to do protect your family before and during a lice outbreak. A common occurrence6-12 million lice infestations occur each year in the United States among children 3 to 11 years old. Lice infestations rank 2nd in the list of medical conditions kids get (only behind the common cold). How to protect your family:The best way to catch lice early and before they become a problem is to do frequent head checks. Especially if there is a known outbreak, try to check your children daily. Look closely at the nape of the neck, behind the ears, and the crown and bang area. Schools are breeding groundsSeptember and January are the top-selling months for head lice hair care products. 80% of U.S. schools have at least one outbreak of head lice each year. What schools can do:Ladibugs offers educational seminars at no cost to schools and other groups. Seminars can be done before or during an outbreak, in-person or via webinars, and cover treatment and preventive techniques for school staff and parents. Learn more and schedule an educational session today. Families at riskWhen a child is infected, 85% of siblings get lice as well. 65% of moms and 10% of dads end up contracting lice too. Lice can survive off the head for only 48 hours. How to keep lice from spreading: Thoroughly clean your environment, including drying all linens, hats, coats and clothes on high heat for 40 minutes. Washing is not necessary — the heat is what kills the lice. (Freeze items that cannot be dried for 12 hours.) Vacuum carpets, furniture and cars. Shampooing isn't needed. Lay sheets on couches and chairs each day and change each night. Boil hairbrushes for 20 minutes or run through the dishwasher Do not share hats, helmets, goggles or clothing with someone who's had head lice or been near an infected person. A big industryThe lice hair care product business in the U.S. is worth $300 million yearly. The average family spends $150 on over-the-counter products each outbreak. How to make the best choice for your family:Consider products that naturally treat and prevent the problem, as they do not contain chemicals and pesticides that are potentially harmful and that lice have grown resistant to. Ladibugs main essential oil is peppermint because it is natural, but extremely strong in low doses and is proven highly effective in warding off lice. Created by moms for momsIn 2010, when Lisa Rudquist and Rachel Knutson first learned their kids contracted lice at school, they were worried, embarrassed…and itchy. As registered nurses, they were shocked to find the over-the- counter treatments made their kids' eyes burn and smelled terrible. Worse yet, they also contained kerosene derivatives, pesticides and petroleum – the last things you want to put on your child's head. Lisa and Rachel learned there were no organic or all-natural treatments on the market. But instead of running from the bugs, they faced them "head" on. After an impromptu minivan conference in the school parking lot, they channeled their energies into finding a better way to annihilate the critters.Ladibugs was born. Rachel Knutson, R.N.Co-founderRachel is no stranger to urgent health needs. After graduating from nursing school at St. Catherine University in 1995, she spent many years in intensive care units and emergency rooms. Most recently, she served as the trauma coordinator at St. Francis Regional Medical Center in Shakopee, Minn. Rachel lives in a Minneapolis suburb with her husband, Tim, who works in the airline industry, daughters Ella and Adeline, and dog Charlie. Lisa Rudquist, R.N.Co-founderLisa's path into healthcare began at Minnesota State University–Mankato, where she earned a BSN in 1998. She went on to earn a masters degree in leadership studies from Augsburg college in 2005. In addition to her experience in the neonatal care, Lisa spent 12 years in the healthcare industry, researching and analyzing clinical studies to benefit patients. She and her husband, Sean (owner of a local remodeling and construction business) are proud parents to Scott, Sierra and Megan. They live in a suburb of Minneapolis. Hatching a plan and a product lineThe duo then teamed up with a chemist and tested a myriad of products, landing on an all-natural solution that includes peppermint – a natural lice repellent. Not only does it smell good, there are no burning eyes!Less than a year after their first conversation, they launched Ladibugs – a full line of chemical-free head lice prevention and elimination products. Used with a special metal micro-grooved comb, they are the most effective and only truly all-natural treatment on the market today. Ladibugs takes flightIn May 2011, the Ladibugs product line was tested at select Kids' Hair locations in the Midwest. In just one month, Ladibugs lice prevention and elimination lines became the top selling products for Kids' Hair.Ladibugs products are now being sold in salons across the country, including Great Clips and Kids' Hair locations. Ladibugs is constantly expanding its reach. Personal service redefinedLisa and Rachel understand the panic parents go through when an infestation happens. That's why they decided to help in a way no other lice treatment company does. Ladibugs makes house calls in the Twin Cities metropolitan area as well as provides a 24/7 hotline. In the first year, Ladibugs treated 3,000 cases of head lice with around-the-clock assistance. Ladibugs also opened their first lice removal center in July 2011 where they treat clients with their product line and a dose of discretion.

MATTHEW Pennington's first goal for the club earned Rovers a 1-0 win over Crewe at Prenton Park.
Rovers took the lead around 25 minutes into the game.
Ash Taylor broke from defence and started a move that saw Jake Kennedy win a corner on the left.
From the set piece defender Pennington, who joined Rovers on-loan from Everton on January 1, rose at the back post to power a header into the roof of the net from Jason Koumas' cross.
There was a chance for a second soon after when Pennington combined with Jake Kirby on the right, but the latter's cut back for Lowe was cleared by Harry Davis.
Manager Ronnie Moore described the win - the club's first of 2014 - as "massive."
In his post-match interview, Moore said "We had the wind in the first-half and were the better team, and they had the wind in the second-half and were the better team.
"We defended well and got our bodies in the right place at the right time. It was a good all-round team performance, when we were asked to defend we did well.
"When we got the goal, we were hoping we could go on and get another. Late on when we've had three-v-one we should score but you can't have a go at them.
"It was a fantastic header. The quality from Koumas...all afternoon he got on it and kept us in possession.
"It was a great ball in and a great header from Matt. It was nice to see it go in the back of the net.
"Overall I thought we deserved it, I think we were the better team at the right times during the game."
The result catapulted Rovers out of the League One relegation zone into 17th position with 28 points.
Midfielder Steve Jennings felt Tranmere deserved to come away with all three points.
He said: "It was a must-win game.
"We'd had it drilled into us all week that it was do or die and that was the attitude we took.
"Thankfully, we got the win and overall I'd say we deserved it.
"It was simple tactics, come out of the traps firing and push them back".
Moore made two changes to the team that started at Peterborough with Evan Horwood coming in for the injured Liam Ridehalgh and Cassidy replacing James Rowe.
The manager said he expected to be able to select Cassidy on Tuesday night for the home game against Rotherham after the striker came off with a back injury.

This, I feel, is unacceptable. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 17:31, May 25, 2012 (UTC)
Miah5072 and King Monday
User:Miah5072 has continuously added a fanon incantation to the bluebell flames page, and has continued this conduct after being warned. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 22:22, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
EDIT: Additionally, User:King Monday, obviously affiliated with the site that is in relation to this issue, has attempted to remove a valid notability tag from the page MyHogwarts.co.uk (article in question, being a fansite that has been around for less than one year, does not satisfy the notability guidelines) multiple times. I fear there may be a communication issue here, however; I have informed this user of why said article is up for deletion, but they claim in this edit summary (made after said message) to have not received an explanation of this fact. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 00:00, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
Photo used witout consent
(6/29/12) Hi, I'm a cosplayer who stumbled upon this site via a google no-text image search. I don't know how to really work this site, but User:Lavender_Loriante is using a photo of me as her profile picture and I would like it removed, if possible. Apologies if I am not following the correct channels, but this seemed the easiest way for me, as a non-member of the community, to get my issue heard. 18.104.22.168 19:54, June 29, 2012 (UTC) Gale

- The user 18.104.22.168 makes similar vandalisms as the blocked user. I've rolled back but thought I should tell here. I would not be surprised if it's the same user. Words are too similar.

A user from a number of addresses in the above IP range keeps making the same type of edit to Educational Decree articles, despite those same edits having been reverted by both myself and an admin and several requests to stop. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:51, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

Not my daughter you bitch!
User:Not my daughter you bitch! has an unacceptable username. Corymach7 (talk) 21:59, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
- Worthwhile contributor since 2011, the username is a line from one of the books. Sorry, but won't be blocked. ProfessorTofty (talk) 03:52, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
- I'd just like to add a linguistic note: although generally used as an insult, "bitch" is also the correct technical term for a female dog, and in that context is a neutral term. Offensiveness is more about the intent of the usage than about the actual words used; something which is too-often forgotten, and is why I for one reckon that "political correctness" is a contradiction in terms. -- RobertATfm (talk) 06:58, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
Persistent vandalism, particularly to the House point hourglasses page (which I've reverted twice in the past three hours). -- RobertATfm (talk) 05:15, November 5, 2012 (UTC)
- Another apparent vandalism-only account is Special:Contributions/ProfessorLongbottom. More subtle, things such as removing spaces between words (a lot of vandals on this wiki do that), inserting obvious nonsense into pages (if an enchanted bicycle is only kept and never ridden, how do Muggles become aware of it to report it to the police?), and signing article pages. -- RobertATfm (talk) 18:05, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
The above page has been vandalised by several IPs (in edits removing nearly all the contents) several times in the past couple of weeks. Perhaps it should be semiprotected for a month or so. — RobertATfm (talk) 02:16, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Agree, very troublesome pattern of editing and it looks like at least one user engaged in a number of bad edits and was never blocked. I'll take care of this. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:20, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
Dumbledore jr. from 220.127.116.11
Careful with this user. He has vandalized in the German Harry-Potter-Lexikon, where I am admin. I warned him. He did not stop his behaviour, so I blocked him for a week and now that page (deleted in the meantime). I thought I should warn you. Harry granger Talk contribs 22:59, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
This user has today made several vandal edits to Tom Riddle (since reverted, of course), including changing the infobox image to one of two images he uploaded; both of which appear to be the box art for some fantasy game with no connection to the HP canon (I've flagged both of these images for deletion). — RobertATfm (talk) 14:56, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
- Warned, images deleted. ProfessorTofty (talk) 15:28, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Reviews of this property
Compleet appartement. Heerlijke tuin, rustpunt in de hectiek. Heldere afspraken van te voren kunnen maken met eigenaresse Hilary. Gastvrij contact.Park Slope is fijne buurt, vlakbij het heerlijke Prospect Park. Om de hoek goede restaurantjes. Subway op tien minuten lopen voor Manhattan. Dankbaar gebruik gemaakt van de twee fietsen. Toen wij er waren was het erg warm in NYC, maar ons appartement bleef heerlijk koel, zonder airco.
This is a wonderful, wonderful apartment! Clean, quiet and bigger than you would tell from the pictures. The bed is comforable and the kitchen is fully equipped. Our son (and we, too) particularly enjoyed the bright colors, and the many beautiful masques and statues that decorated the walls. Plus the lovely private garden really gives you that holiday feeling right away. If you are travelling with children, or just like to stay in for breakfast and/or dinner sometimes, this is the perfect place. We were too lazy to try out the bbq, but there are cheap and good restaurants in the neighbourhood. The area is nice with lots of small shops, and the subway takes you to Manhattan or Williamsburg in just a few stops. If we got a chance, we would definitely stay here again!
My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful stay at Hilary's place in Park slope. We really like the neighbourhood, it was close to lots of restaurants, bars and shops and a playground for my daughter but at the same time is was quiet at night. The apartment is on the ground floor so we didn't have trouble getting our gear in and out. It is clean and had everything we needed to cook our own meals while we were there.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Now that we�re back on Daylight Savings Time we can begin to hope in earnest for the longer days and warmer weather of spring. I�m sure I join many of you in eager anticipation of blossoming flowers, budding trees, and the chance to put winter behind us for another year.
One reason I look forward to spring is the Neighborhood Beautification Project the city launched through its Department of Parks, Recreation, and Trees and Department of Public Works. Nearly a dozen other groups have volunteered to help residents and businesses �spruce up� their neighborhoods for spring.
A series of beautification classes will be offered as part of the project; they will be held each Monday at 6:00 p.m. at the Fhree Nathiji Temple at 70 Pond Lilly Avenue. A citywide Neighborhood Cleanup Day is also scheduled for Saturday, April 5. Supplies will be provided for classes and for the April 5 event.
One goal of my administration is to engage residents and community groups so we work together toward a cleaner and safer New Haven. This Neighborhood Beautification Project is meant to be part of that.

Lichen planus - close-up
Lichen planus - close-up
Lichen planus - close-up: Lichen planus is an intensely itchy (pruritic) inflammatory lesion of the skin. The lesions are generally violaceous (red-purple), slightly raised bumps (papules) with fine scales. The papules may run together (coalesce) to form a larger raised surface (plaque). This is a condition usually seen in adults, although it can occur in children.

Elves mingle freely in human lands, always welcome yet never at home there. They are well known for their poetry, dance, song, lore, and magical arts. Elves favor things of natural and simple beauty. When danger threatens their woodland homes, however, elves reveal a more martial side, revealing skill with sword, bow, and battle strategy.
Elves are more often amused than excited, and more likely to be curious than greedy. With such a long life span, they tend to keep a broad perspective on events, remaining aloof and unfazed by mere happenstance. When pursuing a goal, however, whether an adventurous mission or learning a new skill or art, they can be focused and relentless. They are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. They reply to petty insults with disdain and serious insults with vengeance.
Physical DescriptionEdit
Elves are short and slim, standing about 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 feet tall and typically weighing 95 to 135 pounds, with elf men the same height and only marginally heavier than than elf women. They are graceful but frail. They tend to be pale-skinned and dark-haired, with deep green eyes. elves have no facial or body hair. They prefer simple, comfortable clothes. especially in pastel blues and greens, and they enjoy simple yet elegant jewelry. Elves possess unearthly grace and fine features. Many humans and members of other races find them hauntingly beautiful. An elf reaches adulthood at about 110 years of age and can live to be more than 700 years old.
Elves do not sleep, as members of other common races do. Instead, an elf meditates in a deep trance for four hours a day. An elf resting in this fashion gains the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. while meditating, an elf dreams, though these dreams are actually mental exercises, that have become reflexive through years of practice. The Common word for an elf's meditation is "trance", as in "four hours of trance."
Elves consider humans rather unrefined, halflings a bit staid, gnomes somewhat trivial, and dwarves not at all fun. They look on half-elves with some degree of pity, and they regard half-orcs with unrelenting suspicion. While haughty, elves are not particular the way halflings and dwarves can be, and they are generally pleasant and gracious, even to those that fall short of their standards (a category that encompasses just about everybody who's not an elf).
Since elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression, they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. Generally, they value and protect others' freedom as well as their own, and they are more often good than not.
Elven LandsEdit
Most elves live in woodland clans numbering less than two hundred souls. Their well-hidden villages blend into the trees, doing little harm to the forest. They hunt game, gather food, and grow vegetables, and ther skill and magic allow them to support themselves amply without the need for clearing and plowing land. Their contact with outsiders is usually limited, though some few elves make a good living trading finely worked elven clothes and crafts for the metals that elves have no interest in mining.
Elves encountered in human lands are commonly wandering minstrels, favored artists, or sages. Human nobles compete for the services of elf instructors, who teach swordplay to their children.
Above all others, elves worship Corellon Larethian, the Protector and Preserver of life. Elven myth holds that it was from his blood, shed in battles with Gruumsh, the god of the orcs, that the elves first arose. Corellon is a patron of magical study, arts, dance, and poetry, as well as a powerful warrior god.
Elves speak a fluid language of subtle intonations and intricate grammar. While Elven literature is rich and varied, it is the language's songs and poems that are most famous. Many bards learn Elven so they can add Elven ballads to their repertoire. Others simply memorize Elven songs by sound. The Elven script, as flowing as the spoken word, also serves as the script for Sylvan, the language of pixies and dryads, for Aquan, the language of water-based creatures, and Undercommon, the language of drow and other subterranean creatures.
When an elf declares herself an adult, usually sometime after her hundredth birthday, she also selects a name. Those who knew her as a youngster may or may not continue to call her by her "child name" and she may or may not care. An elf's adult name is a unique creation, though it may reflect the names of those she admires or the names of others in her family. In addition, she bears her family name. Family names are combinations of regular Elven words; some elves traveling among humans translate their family names into Common, while others use the Elven version.

Elves take up adventuring out of wanderlust. Life among humans moves at a pace that elves dislike: regimented from day to day but changing from decade to decade. Elves among humans, therefore, find careers that allow them to wander freely and set their own pace. Elves also enjoy demonstrating their prowess with the sword and bow or gaining greater magical powers, and adventuring allows them to do so. Good elves may also be rebels or crusaders.

The county is prepared to help any municipal water system that has problems in the future with four portable water tanks, known as "water buffalos", that it agreed to buy on Tuesday.
County Emergency Management Director Mark Johnson said the county has interlocal agreements to borrow water buffalos from other agencies as it did last summer when saltwater intrusion crept into Cedar Key's wells forcing residents to use bottled water for cooking and drinking.
