EcoHealth Forum 2008

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT MARK YOUR CALENDARS!International EcoHealth Forum 2008“EcoHealth: Healthy Environments, Healthy People”

December 1st 5th, 2008, Mérida, MéxicoHuman health and development are dependent on healthy ecosystems. Yet, global ecosystems continue to deteriorate under increasing pressure from human development activities and patterns of consumption. Thus, the need is urgent to understand the linkages among public health, ecosystems, and social and economic conditions. The need to devise interventions to reconnect people and ecosystems to protect both is our goal.The quest for healthy ecosystems and sustainable human health requires innovative thinking across disciplines and professions. New research and policy partnerships, community participation and empowerment, and more effective and integrated mechanisms for communicating concerns in the public interest are needed.

In December 2008, in Mérida, México, the National Institute of Public Health (INSP) of México will host the International EcoHealth Forum 2008 in collaboration with the International Development Research Centre (IDRC, Canada), the International Association for Ecology and Health (IAEH), the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Brazil (FIOCRUZ), and the Institute of Ecological Research, Brazil (IPE). The Forum will promote research, theory and practice internationally to consolidate the growing community of researchers, policy makers, and civil society representatives. It will bring a better understanding of the holistic links between ecosystems and human health and the identification of pathways for more sustainable action and interventions. The role of transdisciplinary approaches towards discovery and sustainable solutions will be emphasized throughout.

IEF 2008 will showcase evidence of theory and practice regarding our dependence on ecosystem health. Evidence of the impact of social and ecological changes on the global environment and, in turn, on human health, will be discussed among the Forum’s delegates. Special emphasis will be placed on EcoHealth research in developing countries, fostering exchanges of lessons learned between developing and developed countries.

Conference participants researchers, policy makers and practitioners will learn how project outcomes have been used by other policy makers, stakeholders and community representatives to effect improvements in ecosystem management, disease prevention and environmental protection. Experiences on research and practices, including methodological gaps, as well as opportunities for intervention and policy development will be presented. Renewing and establishing networks will further our capacities to continue promoting healthy ecosystems and, in turn, healthy people.Conference delegates are invited to plan now to contribute with paper, video and oral presentations to the development of new approaches and ideas in EcoHealth by being an active participant in IEF 2008.

For more information, contact the INSP Coordinator, Jaime Grace Engel at ecohealth2008@insp.mx. Once the IEF 2008 website becomes live in the next week (www.ecohealth2008.org), symposia and abstract submissions will be accepted (electronic submissions only).

    And Kim Kardashian braved the California heat to head out to dinner with her booty and her beau hunk Reggie Bush not far behind. The two were spotted having a romantic dinner at the hip Koi restaurant where by all accounts their love bird fest was still going strong. Kim has been known to be a D-lister who loves loves loves her track suits, and it looks like she put the pink velour away for the night and glammed it up. She is wearing a form fitting satin gown and has sleeked her hair in glossy bone straight locks. This look is much easier to achieve if you already have straight locks, but some straightening serum and a wide flat iron will do the trick as well. Use the serum on your hair right after the shower, and blow dry with a flat paddle brush. Run the flat iron over your hair, just running it down from root to tip. If your hair is a little stubborn for the straightener, leave the heat on a little longer. Spray some anti-humectant on your locks once you ve finished that, and then run the flat iron over yo
    ur hair again. This will lock in both shine and anti-frizz control, and will give your hair an extra boost of straightening. For a sleek look like Kim, spritz on some shining gloss for a finish.

    So I’m a senior in college and I’m from an upper middle class family. For me, getting pussy has just been dependent on getting out, meeting girls and having fun.

    For those of you guys who are rich or have gotten rich. Does money make a huge difference in getting pussy?

    I’m asking this because I’m about to graduate college and I feel that the whole pussy dynamic might change when I get out in the real world.

    Does more money equal exponentially more pussy?

    I’m an aspiring Ivy League student (Columbia),and I was wondering if there are any members on here that can share their experiences with their education. How did the degree treat you afterwards? A gift that keeps on giving, or in your case, a gift that keeps on paying
