Like so many well-entrenched, traditional as- sumptions, this one is unwarranted. J. Evetts Haley, in editing one of the extremely rare accounts of the cattle drives to Califor- nia which preceded the Texas-to-Kansas experiment by a decade and a half, slapped the blame for this misunderstanding squarely on the writings of Emerson Hough.

  • The Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine
    Consultation report The use and promotion of complementary and alternative medicine: making decisions about charitable status Introduction The Commission ran a public consultation on this subject between 13 March and 19 May 2017, as part of our review of how we decide whether organisations that use or promote complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies are charities. Our review is not about whether complementary and alternative therapies and medicines are ‘good’ or ‘bad’, but about what level of evidence the Commission should require when making assessments about an organisation’s charitable status. We would like to thank everyone who took the time to take part. This report sets out a summary of the responses received. The consultation We received over 670 written responses, far in excess of the number usually received for a Commission consultation. We also held two discussion events at our London office for organisations with a particular perspective on the issues under consideration. The majority of responses received were from individuals apparently writing in a personal capacity, but we also received over 100 submissions from people representing, or connected with, organisations with an interest in the consultation. The names of those organisations are set out in the annex to this report. The responses varied widely in length, detail and content. Given the welcome and exceptionally high level of engagement with the consultation, it has taken longer than initially anticipated to analyse the responses. However, we are grateful for the high level of engagement; the responses have helped further our understanding the breadth and complexity of the CAM sector.

Annual Message Dear Friend of IMC, This past year brought an unprecedented wave of disasters, prompting an unparalleled response from International Medical Corps’ thousands of staff and volunteers. At the start of 2005, the world was still reeling from the catastrophic Indian Ocean tsunami. Nearly a quarter of a million people perished, while millions of others saw their livelihoods destroyed. Eight months later, whole communities along the Gulf Coast of the United States were wiped out by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Then came a massive earthquake in Pakistan just over one month later, killing 80,000 and leaving millions homeless. With each of these humanitarian crises, IMC was there – often one of the first on the scene – providing emergency health services, mental health care, shelter, food and water, and economic support.

  • Poteri Cold Reading
    / Studio Frasson Consulenza di Direzione e Supporto Certificazione Sistemi di Gestione per la Qualità COMPANY CERTIFIED UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 / Poteri "psichici" Tratto da "Bizarre Beliefs", pagg. 63-71. Di Simon Hoggart e Mike Hutchinson, Burtler & Tanner Ltd., Frome & London, ISBN 1-57392-456-4 (acquistabile su Prometeo, la libreria online del Cicap). Traduzione di © Alessia Guidi. A chiunque sia capitato esprimere qualche dubbio su indovini, spiritualisti, chiaroveggenti, lettura della mano, sfere di cristallo o tarocchi, sicuramente si è sentito dire molte volte: «Beh, sono andata da un'indovina e mi ha detto che l'anno dopo avrei sposato un uomo biondo. Dopo un mese ho conosciuto Jeremy. Come te lo spieghi?»; oppure «Oh, sono d'accordo che in queste cose non c'è nulla di vero, ma lui sapeva che mia madre era malata, e addirittura che avevamo un'auto blu!» Sono cose di poco conto se si sta scherzando dopo una buona cena tra amici, e non vengono a costare più di un giro di drink. Tuttavia alcuni "lettori" chiedono somme ingenti - a volte anche centinaia o migliaia di sterline - sostenendo di essere in grado di fornire conoscenza utile sul futuro, o messaggi di conforto dai defunti. Informazioni che paiono miracolose e inspiegabili - come il nome di una persona cara, o più banali - come il colore di un'auto, ovviamente lasciano stupefatti i più creduli. Mescolate ingenuità umana, dolore per una perdita, ignoranza sulle tecniche usate e il fatto che tutti vorremmo sapere che cosa ci riserva il futuro, ed otterrete un terreno fertile per imbroglioni e ciarlatani.
