I was part of a medical team that worked in the North Eastern province of the Democratic Republic of Congo participating in areas of community health, hospital care and teaching. During the one year spent in the D.R.C., I was struck by the morbidity and mortality burden of malaria.
Upon returning to Canada, my husband (family physician) and I established a travel health/medicine centre in our community of Cobourg, Ontario. I joined ISTM in 1999 and obtained the C.T.H. in 2007. Within a couple years I extended our services to include a mobile service which prepared groups of college and university students travelling abroad for education or volunteer work. I also established travel health services at a second location in Lindsay, Ontario.

Responsible Traveller: Jim Bond, Scotland, United Kingdom
Jim was born and brought up in Zambia and is still very much an African at heart. He initially studied Medicine at Newcastle upon Tyne, completing a broad, practical postgraduate medical training in the UK and South Africa. He has worked in a number of African countries and Madagascar, both as a rural hospital practitioner and public health doctor. After returning to Scotland in 1998, he has worked in HIV palliative care, infectious diseases, public health and occupational medicine. He has practised clinical travel medicine since 1999.
Jim's passion for plants and ethnobotany (the traditional knowledge and use of plants by local peoples) enabled him to work closely with traditional healers in Madagascar, South Africa and Mozambique, collaborating to address local priorities such as TB diagnosis and treatment supervision, HIV prevention and community-led antiretroviral therapy, and developing communications and appropriate ambulance services for obstetric emergencies.
Throughout his life, Jim has been privileged to explore some of the more remote and less known corners and waterways of Africa, Madagascar and South America, more often than not by canoe or on foot. First formally trained in expedition medicine in 1995, he has since led and/or acted as expedition doctor to a number of research, adventure and artwork expeditions, all with a strong focus on community participation.
Jim currently practises as a consultant in Travel & Expedition Medicine at an independent, specialist travel clinic in Edinburgh, and as an occupational health physician at a private hospital in the same city. He is a Fellow of the Faculty of Travel Medicine in Glasgow, where he is also teaches and is an examiner for the Membership Diploma course.

Hello! I have some sheep in a barn, and I have sectioned them off using barn fences. I am trying to breed for fun colors, so I currently have all of my black and white (spotty) female sheep in a stall, next to my black and white (again, spotty) rams. I know they can mate through the fences, as my other color sheep do it normally.
The problem is that for 4 seasons now, there are no new babies in the stall with the black and white spotty female sheep. What gives? Is this genetics, or a bug?

Traditional Family Law
The primary focus of Burke Law Group is on representing clients in family law matters. These can run from complex high net worth divorces through paternity claims and modification of support payments. We use our experience and resources to seek efficient resolution of the legal issues without going to court where possible, and when not possible, Burke Law Group will provide a strong and well developed presentment of your case and desired outcome to the Court. Burke Law Group's client representation includes most areas of domestic relations, including:
- Dissolution of Marriage (divorce)
- Legal Separation
- Committed Domestic Partnership Dissolution
- Live-in Relationships (also known as meretricious relationships)
- Child and Spousal Support
- Adoption/Non Parental Custody
- Parenting Plans/Residential Schedules
- Enforcement of Court Orders
- Post-Decree Support Modifications
- Paternity claims
- Domestic Violence
Dissolution of Marriage/Legal Separation/Committed Domestic Relationships
Burke Law Group uses confidential mediation, collaborative practice, and litigation to obtain the best possible settlement or judgment for individuals going through a divorce, a legal separation or the dissolution of a marriage-like relationship or domestic partnership, including the fair distribution of assets, appropriate spousal and/or child support, and parenting plans that respect both a parent's parental autonomy and a child's best interests.
Child Support
Whether living together or separately, parents have the duty and legal obligation to support their children. Burke Law Group upholds your child's statutory right to receive the fair and equitable financial support required for a healthy, happy upbringing. A focus of Burke Law Group is to ensure that this financial burden be divided fairly and equitably between all parents, when considering all of the factors permitted by law. We have purchased the specialized software to be able to accurately perform the statutory calculations, and to utilize all available permitted support calculation deviation methodologies, something often ignored by unrepresented parents.
Spousal Support
From the perspective of Washington law, spousal support is principally both rehabilitative in nature and also used to assist in the transition to post-divorce lifestyles, though the court can utilize spousal support when it is not otherwise possible to achieve an equitable financial dissolution. There are many factors which the court will consider when establishing what it considers to be a fair and equitable support amount and the length of time that spousal support is to be paid. In order to understand which factors in your particular situation can influence the spousal maintenance determination, you need to consult with an attorney.
Adoption/Non Parental Custody/De Facto Parents
Adopting a child can bring joy to a family. However, there are many rights of a biological parent which can change a joyous occasion into a nightmare, unless the proper legal steps are taken to protect the adoptive parents and their child. Sometimes non-parental custody better fits a particular family due to parental unfitness or harmful environments. Other times, a person is so involved in a child's life with the blessing of a biological parent that this person can be considered de facto parent, with his/her own legal rights potentially rising to the level equivalent of a biological parent. Burke Law Group can help families through the complexities of the legal procedures for granting such rights to individuals, or defend the rights of a biological parent who does not want to give up those parental rights.
Parenting Plans/Residential Schedules
Child placement can be, and often is, the most difficult issue to resolve in a divorce. Burke Law Group will advocate for your parental rights. The right to rear your child(ren) is deeply embedded in our history, and our laws. However, the reality is that parents often have differing opinions of what is best for a child, and may not even intend on living in close proximity of each other, making frequent exchanges between the parents impossible. While there is often no perfect solution, Burke Law Group will advocate for a fair and balanced parenting plan so that you can have the opportunity to spend quality time with your child for a healthy bond to between you and your child.
Enforcement of Orders
Sometimes, a former spouse or partner fails to abide by legal obligations set forth in the court's decrees and orders. While the reasons for this may or may not seem justifiable to you, you have the right to ask the court to protect you, and to enforce those obligations upon your former spouse or partner. Often, the court orders that some or all of the cost for this enforcement be paid by the "offending" person. These enforcement actions can be in any areas directly related to the decree or a current order of the court.
Post-Decree Support Modification
You have a legal obligation to continue with support payments when the unexpected happens, such as a significant reduction in income caused by a job loss or accident. Sometimes, time simply causes changes in the financial picture or income that may or may not have been anticipated. Something often ignored, much to the detriment of one or both parties, is that the obligation to pay spousal and/or child support remains intact and enforceable by the court, unless you pursue a modification of the previously issued court order(s). The attorneys at Burke Law Group can help explain what your rights and obligations are, and will pursue modifications as permitted by the law and the facts of your case.
Paternity claims must be looked at from the view of the law, and the constantly changing scientific technology. The attorneys at Burke Law Group can help you understand how the court looks at both the legal presumptions of paternity, and how those presumptions can be changed through DNA testing. Irrespective of whether you are seeking to prove that you or the other party is or is not the child's biological father, thus establishing parental rights or eliminating the legal obligation to pay child support, Burke Law Group will guide you through the legal steps as your counselor and advocate.
Domestic Violence (Intimate Partner Violence)
The number of reports of domestic violence (DV) is increasing every year across the nation. Most often, the reports are well founded, but sometimes are bogus with the intent that the DV claim jeopardizes the alleged abuser's legal position during a divorce and separation. For the person wronged, it is a shocking, frightening and overwhelming experience. If you are a victim of domestic violence, you have legal protections available to you. If you have been wrongly accused of being an abuser, you will need to vigorously defend yourself to maintain your rights in a divorce or separation. In both scenarios, Burke Law Group can provide you with the legal expertise to seek the protection of the law (and law enforcement, where applicable), and determine the validity of the claim through the court system.

SAN SALVADOR - At The Plaza Libertad today, inauguration day of President Mauricio Funes, I will be thinking back to Feb. 28, 1977, when security forces opened fire there on hundreds of unarmed civilians protesting a fraudulent presidential election. Less than a week earlier, Oscar Romero, then considered a priest of the privileged, had been installed as the archbishop of El Salvador.
Virtually unnoticed by the US press, that massacre prompted the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee to act, leading the first of 17 congressional fact-finding missions to the region. That first mission included a Jesuit priest, Robert Drinan, who was also a member of Congress from Massachusetts. Romero and Drinan celebrated Mass together in the unfinished cathedral, where Romero's decision to halt construction had recently angered the powerful of El Salvador. "Only when peace and justice are established and the hungry are fed, then we can resume building our cathedral," the archbishop explained.
By 1980, the diocese would document 1,000 Salvadorans a month dying or disappearing at the hands of government-sanctioned death squads. It would take the rape and murder of four American nuns that same year before El Salvador finally came to the attention of most Americans.
Romero's assassination in 1980, as well as the kidnapping, torture, and murder of several civilian leaders of the broad coalition known as the Democratic Revolutionary Front, ended more than a decade of nonviolent social change in El Salvador and marked the beginning of the 12-year armed struggle of the FMLN (Farabundo Marti Front for National Liberation).
At the time, I was finishing a family-practice internship in California, where I treated many Salvadoran refugees. The dispatch of helicopters and US military advisers to El Salvador seemed eerily reminiscent of Vietnam and led me to volunteer to care for civilians. From 1981 to 1982 I worked in an area controlled by the FMLN, but was bombed, rocketed, or strafed daily by US-supplied aircraft. In Vietnam, pilots would have called it a "free fire zone."
I returned to the United States, testified in Congress, and traveled around the States, speaking mostly to faith-based audiences. In 1986 I was hired by the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee to continue its delegations to the region to help elected leaders understand the brutality abetted by US tax dollars. After a 1988 mission, Representative Connie Morela of Maryland and others began questioning the billions of dollars in US aid to El Salvador. "Is it directed to really helping the development of the country? Or are we just saying that on paper?"
When the war ended in 1992, I was a guest at the ceremony in Chapultepec, Mexico. As the guerrillas and generals signed the peace accords, I cried in relief, having experienced some of the horror of what was about to end. I also cried in sadness, thinking of the tens of thousands of innocent civilian casualties.
Those peace accords allowed the FMLN to form a political party of the same name. With the help of the United Nations and, to a more limited degree, the United States, the struggle, which was always about poverty and privilege, was transformed into a political conflict.
In January, the FMLN won a plurality in the National Assembly, and two months later the presidency. In his victory speech, Funes urged unity and reconciliation; he also committed his government to Romero's "preferential option for the poor."
Funes also said one priority would be to strengthen relations with the United States. The attendance of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at today's ceremony could signal how the United States, under the Obama administration, may be reshaping its relations with the progressive movement in El Salvador and perhaps in Latin America.
Weeks before he was murdered, Romero said, "If they kill me, I shall arise in the Salvadoran people." Many, both here and in the United States, believe that in this election Romero did, indeed, arise - in the ballots of the Salvadoran people. Yesterday, at a Mass in the cavernous, unfinished concrete Metropolitan Cathedral where Romero is buried, I wondered if a time will come, under President Funes, for it to be completed.

You gotta love Rupert Murdoch. While many media executives are hunkered down in their bunkers, whimpering about lost revenue streams and afraid to say anything remotely offensive to people like Google CEO Eric Schmidt, the News Corp. CEO is still firing off missives about how Google is stealing money from him.
Let's follow the story from the beginning. Murdoch has been an aggressive champion of the idea that content should be paid for and not given away from free. That's why he's locking most of the Wall Street Journal, which the News Corp. owns, behind a paywall. He's said that he'll take most of News Corp.'s content sites behind paywalls in due time.
Last fall, Murdoch said he was disgusted with the way that Google monetizes against content that it doesn't own, and he threatened to yank his content from the Google search engine.
Now, according to the Guardian, he's doubling down on his Google threats:
Murdoch renewed his attacks on search engines, such as Google, whom he accused of stealing journalism from traditional media outlets. He told a National Press Club event at George Washington University that the newspaper industry had to stand up for itself and charge for content while using copyright law to defend its journalism from being used without permission.
"We are going to stop people like Google or Microsoft or whoever from taking stories for nothing … there is a law of copyright and they recognise it," Murdoch told a packed audience of students, journalists and other media professionals.
The Silicon Valley elite like to chuckle whenever somebody threatens to "remove" themselves from Google. It's like a big joke. But there's something to what Murdoch says. The only problem is, his threats will be empty unless more people join the rebellion. It's all about critical mass.
You see, Google has a great application: search. It can monetize that search with its elegant Adwords business model. But Google also requires lots of traffic. It buys that traffic, or trades with partners, in addition to generating organic traffic from people coming to its search engine.
What, if any, effect could yanking News Corp. traffic do? Well, let's say, theoretically, that Murdoch can start a movement and convince other content companies to yank their content from the search engine, and drive people directly to their sties. Eventually, Google (and Microsoft) would take a traffic hit. They would have to start doing deals to acquire or trade content to keep the eyeball levels up.
What Murdoch is onto that many people still don't realize is that Google is a media company. Media companies require media. Microsoft has learned in its own search and Internet business, and that's the reason it has acquired and invested in media companies and was thinking of buying Yahoo. I think it's only a matter of time before the tension between Google and other media companies escalates as more people realize Google is eating their lunch.
