Kindest of Regards, Tomas ALLEN WHO Library Geneva tomasallen_who(a)hotmail.com Call for advisers to serve on WHO's Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group (FERG) Although foodborne diseases are a growing public health problem worldwide, no precise and consistent global estimates exist to date. WHO developed a strategic framework for the estimation of Global Burden of Foodborne Diseases during an international expert consultation held in Geneva (www.who.int/foodsafety/publications/foodborne_disease/burden_sept06/en/) One of the main recommendations of the Consultation was to create an expert group to implement the framework. Purpose of FERG The FERG understands the term epidemiology in the widest sense as meaning the application of a variety of scientific methodologies (including risk assessment approaches) to arrive at disease burden estimates. The group will be composed of professionals from disciplines including: Microbiology, parasitology and virology Burden of disease methodologies Microbiological and chemical risk assessment (including toxicological), and source attribution Disease and exposure modeling, statistics and geographic information systems Clinical medicine and nutrition Food protection, policy and regulation The group will operate at the level of various task forces and direct and monitor the strategy for global burden of foodborne disease estimation. It will estimate the burden of disease from all relevant etiologies and be specifically charged with: (i) reviewing data on foodborne disease burden; (ii) overseeing the technical work of assessing the models and data; (iii) advising and consulting WHO on the derivation of accurate estimates of foodborne disease burden. Skills and experience required WHO is seeking advisers with the following skills and experience: Internationally recognized expertise in foodborne diseases of either microbiological, chemical, toxicological, parasitic or zoonotic origin; Practical experience in reviewing, analyzing, and evaluating human epidemiological data on the effects of toxic chemicals, or reviewing, analyzing, evaluating, and extrapolating experimental animal biological data on toxic chemicals to humans; Recognized expertise in epidemiological modelling and/or in burden of disease methodologies; Extensive experience in international public health; High standing as internationally recognized scientist, as evidenced by publication record; Commitment to participate actively and regularly in FERG, amounting to approximately 2-3 weeks per year; a commitment to serve as resource adviser with less active engagement is also possible. Further information for applicants All applications are to be made by 18 May 2007 and submitted electronically under the following web-link: FERGapplication(a)who.int.

MICROSOFT LOWERS PRICES AND PLANS JOBSITE IN INDIA
by Farooque Shaheen 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

Microsoft Corp., the world?s largest software maker, will sell a $3 (Rs 130) package of Windows, Office and educational programmes to governments that want to load the software onto personal computers for students. The package, called the Microsoft Student Innovation Suite, will include the Windows XP Starter Edition operating system, Microsoft Office and Live Mail e-mail software, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said in a speech at a conference for government leaders in Beijing on 19 April. The company is selling the programmes at cost to governments that buy a minimum of 10,000 copies, Microsoft senior vice-president Will Poole said. The programme is part of a strategy to boost ownership of computers among 5 billion people who don?t have them. Microsoft is pledging to reach the first billion of those users by 2015. The company will try to ensure that countries that offer free or cheap PCs to students will choose Windows instead of the freely distributed Linux operating system. The programmes would normally cost between $100-200. Microsoft has seen sales increase in China over the past few years after the country began curbing piracy. Still, large numbers of Chinese cannot afford retail prices for Windows and Office. Pirated copies are openly sold for about $1 each. Job Site in India The company is working with the government and businesses in India to set up a Website that helps engineering job candidates assess what skills they will need to find employment. The idea came out of a conversation between Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, who expressed concern that many Indian graduates are unable to find jobs. Of the 400,000 engineering students who graduate annually, only a quarter find jobs, he said. The site will open by the year-end and Microsoft will expand the programme to other countries. http://www.livemint.com/2007/04/19145836/Microsoft-lowers-prices-and-pl.html Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Tel. 080-26678388 Ext. 4105 VOIP- 40366 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
