  • A Run on Toilet Paper
    A Run on Toilet Paper Yes, there is a pun intended in the title. Among the phenomena demonstrated by consumers throughout the “civilized” world during the coronavirus pandemic was panic buying and hoarding. That would be understandable when it comes to medical supplies such as personal protective equipment (PPE), sanitizers and OTC medicine. But one item loomed large – toilet paper, sometimes euphemistically called bathroom tissue or loo roll. There were even fights over it. I put together a short list of information which I passed around, more in levity than seriousness. In these uncertain times, we could use a little stress reducer. Little did I know that columnists from major newspapers were already thinking of issuing columns devoted to toilet paper. A psychologist even expounded on the phenomenon of hoarding, using toilet paper as an example. We’ll get to these subjects later. First, here’s my enhanced list, which I originally emailed on March 21: • The first people to use toilet paper were the Chinese. After all, they invented paper, didn't they? But paper was a valued product, so only the elites used it. • The Romans had communal toilets. After doing their business, they used a sponge on a stick, one sponge per toilet. You were supposed to rinse the sponge off off every time. • Toilet paper in the U.S. is a $13 Billion business. That is more than the combined revenue of all 30 Major league baseball teams. • Now, to answer the question you always wanted to ask; the average person uses 9 sheets per trip.

Spiti valley is home to some of the oldest monasteries in the Himalayan region like Tabo monastery, Dhankar monastery, Sherkhang monastery and Kye monastery, strong hold of Buchen Lamas in Pin Valley, famous for Tibetan medicine system and Amchis, fossils of Langza village, highest motorable villages and passes, scenic lakes, a 1000 year old culture, tough life, beautiful villages and people and out of this world landscape. Come and explore with us as we travel to a civilisation frozen in time. Spiti Fixed Departures have been planned in a way that you explore Spiti like a local and at a pace that helps you acclimatise and enjoy at the same time. A little bit about Winters in Spiti - It gets very cold in winter i.e. December through February with temperatures hitting - 30C. You will need to be mentally and physically fit and must have done some high altitude travel in order to be able to handle travelling through this terrain. - All hotels and guest houses will be shut at the time and you will only get homestays which have dry eco friendly squatting toilets. You will need to be okay with this as wet toilets are not available due to water lines freezing. - Because of the water lines freezing, the locals need to carry the water from a nearby water source and hence having a bath while you are in Spiti will not be possible.

  • Chapter 8 Public Health and Hygiene
    Chapter 8 Public Health And Hygiene CHAPTER 8 PUBLIC HEALTH AND HYGIENE 8.1 MORBIDITY IN TABORA REGION As for the outpatient department, malaria is the most common disease in the Tabora Region, followed by acute respiratory infection (ARI), pneumonia, diarrhoea, eye infections and intestinal worms. Malaria is also the most common in inpatient departments, followed by anaemia, pneumonia and diarrhoea. The composition of major diseases in theTabora Region is not much different from that of the Tanzania Mainland. 8.2 PERCEPTION, KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE OF PEOPLE ON HEALTH AND HYGIENE (1) Memorable Events of Diseases and Care Seeking Behaviour According to socio-economic survey by the JICA Study Team, 259 out of 313 cases utilised health facilities: 77.8% of diarrhoea cases, 88.1% of malaria cases and 79.3% of non-communicable Disease (NCD) cases. (2) Knowledge on Causes of Diarrhoea More than 90% of the respondents know at least one cause of diarrhoea in Igunga and Tabora Rural Districts and Tabora Urban Municipal. On the other hand, 15 out of 45 respondents do not know of them at all in the Sikonge District. In all districts except Sikonge, more than 80% of the respondents regard “drinking contaminated water” as a cause of diarrhoea. However, only 42 out of 300 respondents reply “using contaminated hands to eat” results in diarrhoea. People have limited knowledge on causes of diseases. (3) Knowledge on Prevention of Diarrhoea Over 90% of the respondents have at least a bit of knowledge on diarrhoea prevention in Igunga and Tabora Rural Districts and Tabora Urban Municipal.

For a detailed list of SOPs see page 4. Standard Operating Procedures: Municipal Infrastructure (MI) Vehicle Maintenance and Storage Yards (VM) Spill Prevention, Response and Reporting (SR) Parks and Open Space (PO) Building and Facilities (BF) Construction Management (CM) Sandwich O&M Plan Page 1 Introduction O&M Plan, Introduction 1.0 Introduction The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates stormwater discharges from municipal systems through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit program, applicable within the Town’s regulated urbanized area (Figure 1). Under this program, the Town is in part required to develop an inventory (Table 2) of all permittee-owned facilities within the following categories: • Parks and open space. • Buildings and facilities. • Vehicles and equipment. The Town must then develop written operation and maintenance (O&M) procedures to reduce the impact of stormwater runoff from municipal operations and facilities to town-owned stormwater infrastructure (Figure 2). Table 1 shows some common stormwater pollutants, the source of these pollutants, and the impacts they have on the surrounding environment. This O&M plan provides a series of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Town personnel to use at Town-owned facilities within the regulated area and when performing certain O&M tasks.

Academic Editor: Paul B. Tchounwou Received: 9 September 2014 / Accepted: 2 February 2015 / Published: 5 February 2015 Abstract: Inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) represent an important health burden in the Philippines. The non-governmental organisation Fit for School intends to complement its handwashing programme in schools with sanitation interventions. The objectives of this mixed-method study therefore were to describe WASH practices and their impact on childhood diarrhoea in the Philippines, and to examine socio-cultural and environmental factors underlying defecation and anal cleansing practices in Northern Mindanao. We quantified the effect of WASH practices on diarrhoea through logistic regression models, using the Philippine Demographic and Health Survey 2008. When adjusting for non-modifiable factors, susceptibility and socioeconomic factors, WASH factors failed to show a statistically significant effect. Focus group discussions were held with women in urban and rural Northern Mindanao, and findings analysed using thematic analysis. Defecation and anal cleansing behaviours were constrained by the physical environment, particularly the lack of clean, safe, comfortable and private facilities.
