  • 1980 Through 1985 Carolyn Wadsworth, MS, PT, OCS, CHT
    As Dreams Became Realities: 1980 through 1985 Carolyn Wadsworth, MS, PT, OCS, CHT The Orthopaedic Section is celebrating its 25th anniversary during 1999. The strength the Section now enjoys was made possible through the foresight and energy of a group of physical therapists of great purpose, vision, and organization acumen. Our 25th year seems an appropriate time at which to recount their efforts and to acquaint ourselves with the people, events, and initiatives that helped shape the Section in its first quarter century. This article is the second of a 4-part series depicting the Orthopaedic Section History. It covers the period from 1980 through 1985. Stanley Paris and Dorothy Santi eloquently described the events leading to the Section’s inception in the January issue of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy Practice. They gave us fascinating insights into the challenges and victories that occurred during the 1970s, our Section’s formative years. We hardly knew an infancy! With membership doubling every 2 years between 1974 and 1979, we were off the growth chart of traditional human development. You could say that we hit the ground running. As the Orthopaedic Section embarked upon the 1980s, we faced the stark realization that we must assume responsibility for the institution we had created with our youthful energy and enthusiasm. We had come of age. Our founding leadership had tested the waters and established the Section as a significant component of the APTA. It was up to the next tier to devise a plan and guidelines for continuing to achieve our mission. How must be proceed? The Section was already widely recognized for its intensity, commitment, and vision.

  • SSI: Trends and Changes, 1974–80
    SSI: Trends and Changes, 1974-80 byLennaKennedy* By the end of 1980, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program was making monthly cash assistance payments, aver- aging $170, to almost 4.2 million aged, blind, and disabled per- sons. When SSI payments began in January 1974, the number of recipients was 3.2 million and the average payment was $117. Since 1975, both SSI payments and Social Security bene- fits have been automatically adjusted each year to correspond with increases in the Consumer Price Index. A number of other trends in addition to growth can be discerned in the size of the population served, as well as in their categorical, geographic, and age distributions. This article discusses some of these trends and changes, using program data for the end of each cal- endar year through 1980. It also presents a brief summary of the program at the end of that period. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program differed from State to State. In addition, payments provides cash assistance to residents of the 50 States, the within a State varied depending on criteria such as District of Columbia, and the Northern Mariana Islands special living arrangements-for instance, a recipient who are categorically eligible-aged 65 and older, blind, sharing an apartment or living in a domiciliary care fa- or disabled-and whose income and resources are with- cility.

Courtesy of Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Summary US-Syrian relations in the first half of the 1980’s was dominated by the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990). US involvement in the conflict started with the 1981 missile crisis in which a stand-off between the Phalange, a Christian Maronite militia backed by Israel, challenged Syria’s hold over the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. The Reagan administration saw Syria as a Soviet proxy, but there was no consensus on how to approach Hafez al-Assad’s Syria, or the Lebanese conflict. The US entered the stand-off as a mediator, concluding negotiations in late July 1981. But there was little follow-up between Syria and the United States. Instead, the Reagan administration consistently attempted to increase its cooperation with Israel in the Middle East, as well as that of other “moderate” Arab states, such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia.When Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 to combat the PLO, the US again inserted itself into the conflict as a mediator between Syria and Israel, and the PLO and the Lebanese to withdrawal of “all foreign forces” from the country.

  • EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN June 1980 REHABILITATION
    WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION REGIONAL COMMITTEE FOR THE EM/RC30/10 EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN June 1980 Thirtieth Session ORIGINAL : ENGLISH Agenda item 11 REHABILITATION TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Definition 1 Rehabilitation: A Team Responsibility The Team Approach Early Intervention Emotional and Social Impact Tradi tinnal Snni a1 Praeti ce Dependence on Institutions Economic Rehabilitation Increasing Demand 1981 - International Year of the Disabled . WHO - UNICEF Intexest WHO/EMRO Activity Conclusion Definition The word rehabilitation originates, according to Webster's Dictionary, from the Latin word "rehabiZiture" meaning "to restore". The wnrd i 4 a composite of the Latin prefix "r>et' meaning "againtt and "hubCZitme" meaning "to make suitable". In other words "b~rehabiZitatel' means to restore a person to a former capacity. The dictionary definition is important as it indicates the necessity of considering rehabilitati.0~as involving the "whole" person, It implies not only the restoratinn nf phyqical deficiencies, but also the retraining of handicapped persons and the provision of the appropriate psycho- logical and social support to repair traumatized mental states. Rehabilitation: A Team Responsibility Formal interest in rehabilitation is a comparatively modern phenomenon. In the past, it mainly concerned the problems of veterans returning from wars; this has led to the present tremendous interest.

    t CONSUMER PRICE INDEX RAPID INFORMATION THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX IN FEBRUARY 1985 The consumer price index for the EC as a whole rose by 0.6 %between January and February 1925. This was the second consecutive month in which the increase was higher than the monthly average increase durinr 1984. These increases are largely attributable to higher prices for fresh fruit and vege­ tables, caused by the weather in these two months and to rises in prices of oil pro­ ducts invoiced in Dollars, for which the exchange rates went up sharply during this period. The rates of increase by country in February are as follows: Netherlands 0.3 %, Germany (FR) 0.4 %, France 0.5 %, Luxembur~ 0.6 %, Denmark 0.7 %, United Kingdom 0.8 %, Belpium 1.0 %, Italy 1.0 %. Only Greece reported a slight decrease (-0.2 %), resulting entirely from the winter sales of clothing and footwear. The quarterly index for Ireland went up by 1.9 %between mid-November 1984 and~ February 19E5, which means an average increase of about 0.6 %per month.
