The word "sodomise" has recently become a staple of the Malaysian media vocabulary. It was not that long ago that the region's economic success was being put down to an undefinable combination of geography and culture. But then financial fire storms swept through the continent, wreaking havoc with economies left, right and centre. In the wake of the economic crisis, democracy activists have seen a big enough glint of light beyond the debilitating emerging-market tunnel to persuade them to accelerate the pace of political reform. Opposition politicians, like Indonesia's Megawati Soekarnoputri, had got used to the luxury of having no plausible chance of taking power. Now political outcasts and politicians behind bars are quickly becoming presidential hopefuls. Never before has the net of Asia's democratisation process been cast so wide. Those in authority are at last being held to certain standards, and people are demanding that politicians be made accountable. Western nations, spearheaded by America, have taken it upon themselves to accelerate the pace at which the reform movement advances.

Extractions: in Asia and the Pacific 2. Status and trends of HIV/AIDS epidemics Epidemic patterns The spread of HIV in this region began in the early to mid-1980s. Early infections could be traced to sexual contacts with infected persons residing outside the region, as well as some apparent further spread within the region itself. By the late 1980s, however, it had become evident that the transmission of HIV was increasing among several populations, in some cases with great velocity, and that two sets of factors strongly influenced the course of the emerging epidemics: participation in sex work and patterns of injecting drug use (IDU). By early 1997, South and South East Asia accounted for an estimated 5.2 million (23 percent) of the 22.6 million adults and children living with HIV in the world. About one-third of adults living with HIV in the region are female. As the HIV epidemic is still relatively recent, HIV disease, including AIDS, is only beginning to emerge and the associated needs for care are rising steeply. The estimated HIV prevalence in 15 to 49 year-old populations varies from zero (DPR Korea) to one per several thousand in most countries in the region, up to 2 to 3 percent in Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand. From a regional perspective, the magnitude and short-term trends of HIV epidemics are largely dependent on the extent of ongoing epidemics in a few countries: Cambodia, India, Thailand, Myanmar and, because of their population size, Indonesia and China. With a population close to 1 billion and multiple epidemic foci, India projects the image of a complex epidemic, involving focal outbreaks among injecting drug users and extensive HIV spread among female sex workers and their clients in several regions.

Extractions: Edited by Stephanie Nelson The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean on the planet, covering one third of the entire surface of the Earth, or 165.384 million square kilometers. It is about 18 times the size of the United States of America. The accepted boundaries are the Bering Sea in the North, the Ross Sea in the South, the Strait of Magellan in the East and the Strait of Malacca in the West. The Pacific is often divided along the equator into the North and South Pacific, but the waters of these two halves circulate freely, as does the water in all of the world's oceans. The only real difference between these two halves is that the water circulates clockwise at the surface of the North Pacific and counter-clockwise in the South Pacific. The waters of the Pacific cover more area than all of the land mass of the world. Both the salinity (salt concentration) and the temperature of the water varies latitudinally. The waters around the equator are the warmest, reaching up to 29 degrees C (84 degrees F), and the least salty due to heavy precipitation. Near the polar regions the water can drop to temperatures near or even below freezing as the dissolved salt lowers the freezing point of the water. The Pacific creates five main climactic regions: the mid-latitude westerlies, the trades, the monsoon region, the typhoon region, and the doldrums. The mid-latitude westerlies occur in both hemispheres and bring marked changes in temperature with the seasons. The trade winds blow nearer the equator and account for the warm, constant temperatures year-round. The monsoon region is located in the far western region of the Pacific, between Australia and Japan, and is characterized by winds that change direction with the seasons. During the wet season the winds blow in large amounts of precipitation that cause flooding; during the dry, droughts are common. The typhoon region frequently exists in the shape of a large triangle from southern Japan to the central Philippines to eastern Micronesia. The typhoons generated here can have detrimental effect on a much larger area.

Papua New Guinea Risk Profile Is papau new guinea at risk due to close links with one of the 6 remainingpolioendemic Geographic proximity, or strong cultural or economic links, http://www.polioeradication.org/features/countryprofiles/PNG5.asp
Extractions: document.write(document.title); Is Papua New Guinea at risk due to close links with one of the 6 remaining polio-endemic countries? Yes! In a 'globalized' world of modern transport, all countries have regular contact with at least one of the 6 remaining polio-endemic countries: Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Niger, Afghanistan and Egypt. If Papua New Guinea borders one of the remaining endemic countries, it is at particular risk of polio re-infection. In 2003, a new outbreak originating in northern Nigeria spread across 8 previously polio-free neighbouring countries. Additionally, not just neighbouring countries are at risk. Earlier in 2004, Botswana was re-infected, due to the spreading outbreak from Nigeria. Geographic proximity, or strong cultural or economic links, to a polio-endemic country increases the risk of potential re-infection, as populations travel between countries and bring the poliovirus with them. Remember - polio does not need a passport to travel across borders! All countries will remain at risk of importations, regardless of their geographic proximity to polio-endemic countries. In January 2003, a child was paralyzed by polio in Lebanon - the first case seen in that country in nearly a decade. Genetic sequencing confirmed the case had been an importation all the way from India.

Extractions: document.write(document.title); All countries are at risk of being re-infected by polio! Click here to print Based on the below indicators, Papua New Guinea could limit the risk of a polio importation or outbreak due to importation, by addressing the identified gaps below. WHO can help in addressing these gaps, and we urge you to contact your WHO office (attention EPI/polio focal point) to discuss specific actions that could reduce the risk of Papua New Guinea to polio at this critical time in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Disease surveillance: Papua New Guinea 's AFP surveillance rate is per 100,000 children under the age of 15 years, and the adequate stool collection rate is Remember - AFP surveillance rates below 1.0, and adequate stool collection rates below 80%, means that Papua New Guinea would not be able to rapidly detect polio re-infection. Routine immunization: In Papua New Guinea , % of children under 1 year of age have been routine immunized with at least 3 doses of oral polio vaccine (OPV).

Crows Better At Tool Building Than Chimps, Study Says Reference countries include Australia, papau new guinea, the Solomon Islands,and Vanuatu Go More than 60 new spring products from National Geographic http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/04/0423_030423_crowtools.html
Extractions: April 23, 2003 Although there are many industrious tool-users in the natural world, the only animals with enough brainpower to develop and improve the tools they make have long been thought to be humans. Adding innovative new features, such as a wheel or an engine, to previous designs, was one of those traits some scientists believed made us unique. Now, according to researchers in New Zealand, a crafty species of crow found on the remote Pacific islands of New Caledonia may prove that this trait isn't so uniquely human after all. As the scientists detail in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B , New Caledonian crows ( Corvus moneduloides ) have been able to add useful new features to the insect-snagging tools they fashion from leathery pieces of torn leaf. What's more, they say, these innovations are faithfully passed on between individuals and across generations. "The ability to cumulatively improve tools is one of the features that define humanness. In fact this ability has been crucial for our technological progress," said co-author Gavin R. Hunt, at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. "Our findings therefore remove an important technological difference between humans and other animals," he said.
