They're people who've had 200 years of hellish kind of existence," said [Pierre Plourde]. "This is a resilient people who are already picking up the pieces... What's sad now is how much things had improved in the last couple of years," said Plourde. "Foreign Affairs had lifted warnings not to go to Haiti. The last couple of years have been more stable politically, and kidnapping has stopped. It was a more enjoyable place to be. You could get things done. For them, this must be a real slap in the face. "It's heart wrenching," said Plourde, who has been helping out in Haiti since 1982. He was leading a team of nine volunteers on Feb. 5 to Cite Soleil -- the poorest part of the impoverished capital, Port-au-Prince. By then, it still may not be safe enough for the nine doctors, nurses and...

Kids who are always controlled by their parents don't have the inner resources to deal with the disappointments in life," says Risa Altman, a parenting educator, counsellor and family mediator, who will be giving tips to parents on how to foster resilience in their kids at a workshop later this month. "Part of resilience is being flexible during ongoing changes, knowing what you're good at and being able to figure out how to handle the bad patches," says Altman. "You need to know not only your own mind, but have insight into others' minds. Luckily, parents are in an ideal position to model resilience because they've developed these skills themselves. "Part of parenting is reflecting upon our own childhoods," says Altman, "and talking about what we learned, versus what was imposed on u...

The paper takes a critical look at the current rebranding project in Nigeria in the light of the mounting predominance of poverty and food insecurity in the country. It argues that attempt to upgrade the image of Nigeria within and aboard without putting in place workable structures/programmes of "solutionalising" Nigerian endemic problems of poverty, food crisis, unemployment, epileptic power supply, and the likes makes the rebranding project abstract, cosmetic and a wishful thinking. Thus, the paper advocates that the rebranding should begin by addressing the leadership question, poverty, food insecurity, corruption and the decay in Nigerian education system.

Everything is optional. Some families don't but that doesn't mean their kids don't take part (in the field trips)," she says.

No specific number of H1N1 cases will necessarily act as a threshold that warrants the closing of a school, she said. "What's the extent of the disease there, how quickly is it being spread, what age groups is it affecting? School closure is one of the mitigation measures that could be considered by countries," WHO spokeswoman Alphaluck Bhatiasevi told a news conference in Geneva Tuesday. "As WHO has been saying, different countries would be facing the pandemic at different levels at different times. So it is really up to countries to consider what mitigation measures suit them in regard to the situation in individual countries." The University of Manitoba has contingency plans in place should the province order it to shut down, said vice-president of administration Deborah McCallum. ...
