  • New Training for Community Health Workers
    Tulane University New Training for Community Health Workers January 28, 2011 3:30 AM Keith Brannon [email protected] When it comes to staying healthy, sometimes check-ins are as important as checkups. That's the philosophy behind a new Tulane University School of Medicine program that aims to train community health workers to provide health education and act as liaisons between patients and their doctors or social services providers. Outreach to New Orleans patients such as George McClain, left, receiving diabetes treatment at a Tulane mobile clinic, will be increased by the training of community health workers. (Photo by Paula Burch-Celentano) These advocates check in with patients to make sure they're following doctors' orders and properly taking their medications, for example, and can even help them access social services to address any barriers to keeping themselves healthy. Using a $250,000 federal grant, Tulane is partnering with RAND Corp. to start the Tulane RAND Community Health Worker Training Institute. It will offer residents who have at least a high school diploma a formal, 120-hour training course in health outreach, patient care coordination and health advocacy. A pilot class begins Feb. 1, says Ashley Wennerstrom, senior program manager for the Tulane Office of Community Affairs and Health Policy. “Trained community health workers are important, and often underutilized, members of healthcare teams. They provide education, link hard-to-reach populations with health and social services, and advocate for individual and community health needs,” Wennerstrom says. “The institute fills a vital Tulane University | New Orleans | 504-865-5210 | [email protected] Tulane University niche in our region by supporting critical workforce development for community health workers while increasing knowledge and research about how they can contain healthcare costs, improve public health and increase post-disaster community resilience.” The grant was funded by legislation sponsored by U.S.

  • Mg 34 and Mg 42 Machine Guns
    MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS MC NAB © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS McNAB Series Editor Martin Pegler © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 4 DEVELOPMENT 8 The ‘universal’ machine gun USE 27 Flexible firepower IMPACT 62 ‘Hitler’s buzzsaw’ CONCLUSION 74 GLOSSARY 77 BIBLIOGRAPHY & FURTHER READING 78 INDEX 80 © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com INTRODUCTION Although in war all enemy weapons are potential sources of fear, some seem to have a deeper grip on the imagination than others. The AK-47, for example, is actually no more lethal than most other small arms in its class, but popular notoriety and Hollywood representations tend to credit it with superior power and lethality. Similarly, the bayonet actually killed relatively few men in World War I, but the sheer thought of an enraged foe bearing down on you with more than 30cm of sharpened steel was the stuff of nightmares to both sides. In some cases, however, fear has been perfectly justified. During both world wars, for example, artillery caused between 59 and 80 per cent of all casualties (depending on your source), and hence took a justifiable top slot in surveys of most feared tools of violence. The subjects of this book – the MG 34 and MG 42, plus derivatives – are interesting case studies within the scale of soldiers’ fears. Regarding the latter weapon, a US wartime information movie once declared that the gun’s ‘bark was worse than its bite’, no doubt a well-intentioned comment intended to reduce mounting concern among US troops about the firepower of this astonishing gun.

Since the military brought the first detainees to Guantánamo in January 2002, the Pentagon has consistently refused to comprehensively identify those it holds. While it has, at various times, released information about individuals who have been detained at Guantánamo, it has always maintained ambiguity about the population of the facility at any given moment, declining even to specify precisely the number of detainees held at the base. We have sought to identify the detainee population using a variety of records, mostly from habeas corpus litigation, and we have sorted the current population into subgroups using both the government’s allegations against detainees and detainee statements about their own affiliations and conduct.
