    Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories 5th Edition U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Institutes of Health HHS Publication No. (CDC) 21-1112 Revised December 2009 Foreword Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL) quickly became the cornerstone of biosafety practice and policy in the United States upon first publication in 1984. Historically, the information in this publication has been advisory is nature even though legislation and regulation, in some circumstances, have overtaken it and made compliance with the guidance provided mandatory. We wish to emphasize that the 5th edition of the BMBL remains an advisory document recommending best practices for the safe conduct of work in biomedical and clinical laboratories from a biosafety perspective, and is not intended as a regulatory document though we recognize that it will be used that way by some. This edition of the BMBL includes additional sections, expanded sections on the principles and practices of biosafety and risk assessment; and revised agent summary statements and appendices. We worked to harmonize the recommendations included in this edition with guidance issued and regulations promulgated by other federal agencies. Wherever possible, we clarified both the language and intent of the information provided. The events of September 11, 2001, and the anthrax attacks in October of that year re-shaped and changed, forever, the way we manage and conduct work

  • Beyond the “Talking Cure”: the Practical Joke As Testimony for Intergenerational Trauma in Eden Robinson’S “Queen of the North”
    Beyond the “Talking Cure”: The Practical Joke as Testimony for Intergenerational Trauma in Eden Robinson’s “Queen of the North” VIKKI VISVIS ISCUSSIONS OF TRAUMA often address the subject of language, particularly the limitations of language as a mode of rep- Dresentation in the face of overwhelming experiences. However, a related yet distinct dimension of these critiques involves a consideration of the efficacy of language as a restorative for trauma. Critical studies of trauma often focus on a particular therapeutic paradigm when exploring the efficaciousness of narration, a model which is, of course, innately de- pendent on both language and narrative, namely, the “talking cure.” An analysis of current discourses reveals that responses to the effectiveness of talk therapy, or what is commonly referred to as traumatic testimony, as an alleviative are characterized by two parallel yet contradictory narratives. The “talking cure” is designated as both a superior reconciliatory strat- egy for coping with trauma and an insufficient curative agent. Judith Herman, a psychoanalyst and social critic, supports the former position, believing that through the act of rendering the traumatic episode, this debilitating mental wound is ultimately treatable. Although she recognizes the difficulties involved in bearing witness to trauma, particularly the victim’s painstaking attempts to find a language with which to commu- nicate the past, Herman argues that by telling their stories, survivors modify or transform pathogenic memories into accessible, articulate ren- derings, a speech act that engenders “relief of many of the major symp- toms of post-traumatic stress disorder” (183). Literary critics Cathy Caruth and Shoshana Felman and psychologist Dori Laub, on the other hand, predominantly subscribe to the notion that trauma is untreatable as it defies representation.

  • The Founder of Rotary
    THE FOUNDER OF ROTARY PAUL P. HARRIS Page 1 FOREWORD THIS little book is an intimate story of an eventful life from the pen of the man who has lived it. The writer is often called the Father of Rotary. Rotarians have been demanding to know more about him. This demand constitutes his apologia for the preparation of this autobiographical matter. In response to this demand he has written: “He in whose mind the germ of Rotary found origin, he in whose heart the ideals of Rotary have ever been nurtured and cherished, tenders this story, trusting that its readers may prove to be as patient with the shortcomings of the author as the public has been generous in its judgment of the movement he represents.” I esteem it a high privilege to have known Paul Harris during the past twenty years, and a still greater privilege to have had the opportunity to assist him in sending Rotary around the world. When I entered the Chicago Rotary Club I found him giving generously of his time and his thought to the success of the club and full of ideas as to the extension of Rotary to other cities of the United States. When in 1910 he became president of the united American Rotary clubs, his ideas had expanded to the extension of the movement to other countries. During the two years of his presidency, he was a driving force that inspired all of us who were associated with him. At the end of his second term of office he suffered a serious physical breakdown from which he recovered only because of his indomitable will to do so.
