Back to top Back to top Back to top FREE SITES AND ATTRACTIONS ON O'AHU Arizona Memorial Kamehameha Hwy. 99, via H-1 west, exit 15A, Honolulu - (808) 422-2771 The USS Arizona was completely sunken during the bombing of Pearl Harbor, taking over 1,000 sailors to their death in the harbor. This boat and that event are essentially what entered the United States full-scale into World War II. The USS Arizona Visitor Center is located on the Pearl Harbor Naval Base adjacent to the sunken remains of the USS Arizona. The center is operated and maintained by the National Park Service in a use agreement with the US Navy. The center and USS Arizona Memorial are free of charge to the public and there are no reservations. Everyone visiting the USS Arizona is encouraged to view a 20-minute film documenting the attack on Pearl Harbor. The film is presented by the Park Service, prior to the short US Navy shuttle boat trip to the memorial itself. Be prepared to wait however. The memorial is a very popular site in Honolulu and the crowds at all hours of the day can be overwhelming. Visitors are issued free tickets for the film and the shuttle to the Arizona upon arrival at the center on a first come, first served basis, but waits of one hour or more are commonplace. For this reason, go early! The center is open from 7:30am to 5:00pm but the last program of the day and tour starts at 3:00pm The visitor center is closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.

Trackback URI Comment Left by Barbara on July 14th, 2005 Matty Comment Left by Matty on July 19th, 2005 I should note that I, too, had my OCD develop later in life. I was 30 when it happened. Comment Left by Barbara on July 19th, 2005 Thanks Again, Comment Left by "Alison" on July 20th, 2005 One critical factor in being able to overcome our particular form of OCD is desensitization. Just hearing the word AIDS would send me into a complete panic, so I tried to avoid it by turning off the TV and refusing to read news stories about it. That was the worst thing I could have done. In therapy, the goal is to talk about AIDS and rate on a scale of 1-10 the degree of anxiety it causes. I know it sounds antithetical to overcoming it, but it works. I would think that talking about it here or to an understanding family member or friend would help to some degree. If you would like to talk about it more, I gave the Incertus site owner permission to give you my e-mail address.

Home Browse Catalogue What's New Page DVD ... FAQ Delivering Educational and Informative VHS and DVD's Island of Shadows Country Available: Canada, USA Throughout history, there are tragic stories. Island of Shadows presents one such tragedy, rooted in racism, fueled by panic over a feared disease and prolonged by the squabbling of politicians. This is the story of the D'Arcy Island Leper Colony: 1891-1924. During these years, D'Arcy Island was the desolate home for handful of men and one woman who were left there to die. A row of shacks made of unplastered, thin unpainted wood provided meager shelter for the outcasts of society. There were never more than nine men on the island, and at times a single man was left alone for up to fifteen months. Though Leprosy (Hansens Disease) is crippling in its later stages no one was left to care for the afflicted. Their only contact with the outside world was a supply ship that came every three months to drop off food, clothing, opium and coffins. Medical and Sanitary officers on these supply ships reported that conditions were deplorable, yet for years nothing was done. Why? They had leprosy, they were Chinese and no government would take responsibility. Island of Shadows is a forty-eight minute documentary that tells the story of D'Arcy Island from its inception until its demise. The production examines the factors contributing to its creation and the inhuman treatment of the Chinese that were banished there.

Contributions of the PHS Commissioned Corps Scientists Environmental Health Safety CDR Young Lee (biologist at FDA) was the project manager for examining chemical contaminants and pesticide contamination of food. Import samples are collected at the point of entry into US commerce. She also worked with the World Health Organization to review and finalize the Environmental Health Criteria. CAPT Richard Truman (microbiologist at Hansens Disease Center) used NASA imagery in a study with Louisiana State University. The satellite information produced multi layer computerized images to show the relationship between the occurrence of disease and environmental factors. This has worldwide implications for prevention of disease by reducing exposure to (or modifying) environmental factors. CAPT Charles Land (epidemiologist at NIH) is studied cancer risks and causes in populations exposed to ionizing (x-rays) and nonionizing (sun, radiowaves) radiation. This identifies the types of cells that are more vulnerable and what biological or behavioral factors modify risk of cancer from exposure. CDR Greg Lot (epidemiologist at NIOSH) studied the exposure of workers around television and cellular phone towers. This includes examining the effects of different frequencies on biological functions. This has implications for recommendations on developing alternate methods to reduce such environmental exposure.
