 The paper begins on this optimistic note: "A certain indication of the humanitarian trend of modern times is the ever-increasing interest in the accidents, intoxications and diseases coincident with various trades."98
The humanitarian impulse noted in 1913 was apparently not all that it might have been. By 1919, the numbet of cases at the same factory had climbed to thirty-eight, "driven to extreme intensity of production as a result of the war." The complaints of the mill hands wete movingly quoted in their own terse words and sad phrasings such as "My legs—I can't feel good. |

 EMDR has a humanitarian Assistance Project which has worked in the Middle East, in New York after September 11, and in many other trouble spots around the globe. The following story comes from the efforts of a team in Palestine:
In one memorable instance, a Palestinian father of four underwent EMDR as part of {the EMDR humanitarian Assistance Project}. When he began the session, he was filled with homicidal rage toward all Israelis. At the end of the session, he reported feeling "much better" and spoke these words:
"You must always remember: where there is life, there is hope. |

 Extensive removal of ground-protecting vegetation triggered severe soil erosion and a humanitarian disaster during the next run of drier than average years.
The nomads and sedentary farmers of the Sahel traditionally practiced a symbiotic arrangement in which the nomads' cattle would graze on crop stubble, manuring farmers' fields after the harvest. When the rains came the herds would head north following the growth of new grass. |

 European culture, and of the humanitarian virtues and practical benefits of empire. It was enthusiastically embraced by the Honourable East India Company (then administering India); one Company Agent described it as offering 'an additional mark of the fostering care of the British Government'. As early as 1803, when vaccination was first introduced in Bombay, the governor of the province expressed his confident belief that 'the prestige that we have achieved by this one act has been the source of much good will from the people—it is a great reward. |

 Most of us grew up with the distinct impression that donating blood is a highly humanitarian act and helps to save many people's lives. Blood transfusions are currently a standard part of the medical emergency procedure on a patient who has suffered a life-threatening trauma with loss of blood or one who awaits major surgery. However, these transfusions may not be as safe or as necessary as commonly believed. An increasing number of medical experts regard blood transfusions to be an outmoded, unproved, and even dangerous procedure. |
| That is exactly what we are doing during the humanitarian AIDS campaigns promoted by the WHO and numerous charitable AIDS organizations.
Another class of HIV tests, called viral load tests, can produce dozens of conflicting results—even from the same blood sample. The general population is made to believe that an HIV test is a reliable method to determine whether they are infected with HIV or not. If they were to read the disclaimers on the HIV test kits they would perhaps become a little suspicious, at least enough to insist on further evidence, if such can ever be provided. |

 EMDR also has a wonderful nonprofit organization (EMDR humanitarian Assistance Program) that could well be described as a mental health equivalent of Doctors Without Borders. It's a global network of clinicians who travel anywhere there is a need to stop suffering and prevent the aftereffects of trauma and violence.

The EMDR humanitarian Assistance Program (HAP) is a nonprofit organization that has been described as a kind of mental health equivalent of Doctors Without Borders. It's a global network of clinicians who travel anywhere there is a need to stop suffering and prevent the aftereffects of trauma and violence. Its trauma recovery network coordinates clinicians to treat victims and emergency service workers after such crises as Hurricane Katrina and the 9/11 attacks. (See Recommended Resources, page 333. |

| Changing or constraining such unacceptable practices was an attractive option, particularly if a neutral or humanitarian justification was available—like the need to protect the populations of India and the West from cholera. But the Government of India faced three serious deterrents. |

 As a flower essence, basil helps one put aside things that no longer serve one's purpose and promotes humanitarian motives, self-nurturing, and integrity. It improves the outlook of high achievers who feel inadequate.
Edible Uses
Basil leaf is a supreme culinary herb used in cuisines around the world. (Although O. tenuiflorum is not widely used because of its strong medicinal flavor.) In Thailand, the seeds of some basil species are used as a culinary thickening agent. Basil is also one of the ingredients in the liqueur Chartreuse. |

 By threatening to imprison parents who object to the supposed health benefits of vaccinations, these state officials are effectively conspiring to cause thousands of children to be separated from their parents -- a move that would create a humanitarian and public health disaster. This thought has not deterred Attorney General Glenn F. Ivey, who said, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way, but it's got to get done." That's the kind of quote that might be uttered by a corrupt police officer pointing a gun in your face and demanding that you do something you don't want to do. |

| When he began selling his unstoppable plow, Deere set the stage for a humanitarian and ecological disasrer because, once plowed, the loess of the semiarid plains simply blew away in dry years. Deere sold a thousand of his new plows in 1846. A few years later he was selling ten thousand a year. With a horse or an ox and a Deere plow a farmer could nor only plow up the prairie sod, bur farm more acreage. Capiral began ro replace labor as the limiting factor in farm producrion. |
| Recently, the problem of environmental refugees fleeing the effects of soil erosion began to rival political emigration as the world's foremost humanitarian problem. Although usually portrayed as natural disasters, crop failures and famines often owe as much to land abuse as to natural calamities.

| The pharmaceutical industry permitted greed to overcome their moral and humanitarian goals.
Like most pursuits that involve large sums of potential wealth, science can be easily lowered to a basic human weakness — greed. In a June 3, 1999 news story, Ariana Eunjung Cha pointed out that almost 20 years after the discovery of rDNA production of insulin in a UC-San Francisco lab a civil lawsuit is still unsettled. After a jury deadlock, $1.2 billion dollars remains at stake in this suit filed by the regents of the University of California. |

 From the very beginning as Gerstein described the atrocities, weeping and broken hearted, I had no doubt as to the sincerity of his humanitarian intentions.
Whatever Von Otter may have done with Gerstein's information, it had no appreciable impact on the conduct of the war at that point. Imprisoned after the war ended, Gerstein provided French and German reports detailing the operations of the death camps of Belzec andTre-blinka.This information became critical to the prosecutions at Nuremberg. |

 The Sahelian region of North Africa has long been synonymous with climatic disaster: during the 1970s and 80s famines struck the area with such severity that they sparked massive humanitarian relief efforts like Band Aid and Live Aid. Reporting from Ethiopia's refugee camps in 1984, the BBC's Michael Buerk spoke of a 'biblical famine' as the camera swept slowly over the dead and dying. Over 300,000 people perished during earlier famines in the 1970s. |

 In fact, if they're such a humanitarian organization, why don't they give away all their drugs, and release third world countries from patent protection at the same time? The answer, of course, is because this is all about money, not public health. If Merck was really about "patients first," they should convert to a 501(c)3 non-profit, stop paying their CEOs $10+ million salaries, and give all their drugs away for free as a gift to humankind, shouldn't they?
That will never happen, of course, because it really is about the money. |

 Using standard diagnostic language (despite its uncertainty) on insurance forms is fine; your dialogue with the family allows you the opportunity to address the subtleties of brain aging and approach the labeling process in a respectful and humanitarian manner.
Granted, individual patients vary in the degree to which they will tolerate ambiguity. Some patients and caregivers need labels. Some would be willing to accept that our current understanding of brain aging is limited and be told that they have evidence of age-related cognitive impairment rather than AD. |
| The notion that we could relieve the suffering of brain aging appealed to the humanitarian side of many healers. There was also a widely held opinion that a disease called "Alzheimer's" could potentially help remove the stigma of "senility" by targeting a neurobiologi-cal condition and taking the onus off the affected senile person. But there was a dark and less benevolent subtext to this movement as well. |

| In June 2006, Sarah Bird and Paul O'Connor, Irish humanitarian volunteers sponsored by the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology, traveled to Kashmir to help earthquake victims. They were shocked at what they saw: "Eight months after the earthquake Mussarafabad is still a hellhole for the people who lost everything. They are still living in tents, shanties, and hurlike structures. There was huge devastation here; the mountain swallowed up whole communities and the figure they are talking about unofficially is closer to 200,000 deaths. |

| The humanitarian cover story
Drug companies are experts at framing their profit pursuits as public health initiatives. "We have to protect the little girls!" they insist, but what's really going on behind closed doors is a far less altruistic push -- the push for profits. Requiring millions of young girls to get these new vaccines just happens to generate enormous profits for Merck. But Merck officials, and even the governor of Texas, would have you believe that has nothing to do with this. |

 He went to work as the head of one of the world's largest humanitarian aid organizations. As he continued to deepen his spirituality, he shifted his focus even further. He volunteered in one of the organizations that he oversaw as a board member, and for six months he worked with a poor, uneducated man and taught him to read. Only then did he find a modicum of the peace he was looking for.
But his story doesn't end there. Despite his personal growth, this man still hasn't fully let go of worldly power as a marker of success because he hasn't gained perfect freedom from self-doubt. |

| These illegal loggers are like terrorists," said Nabiel Makarim, the former environment minister of Indonesia, referring to massive unlawful clear-cutting that has turned seasonal rains into deadly flash floods and landslides, displacing thousands, and creating a humanitarian crisis.23 "It is difficult to combat illegal logging because we must face financial backers and their shameless protectors."
Makarim confessed to the Jakarta Post that the government "does not have a clue" how to combat rampant illegal logging. |
| Illegal logging in Indonesia is both an environmental and humanitarian crisis. It is morally reprehensible that America's second largest bank is connected with corrupt timber cartels that are directly responsible for the wholesale destruction of the most fragile and endangered forest ecosystems on Earth. JP Morgan Chase's involvement in the illegal timber trade is not only a national scandal, but further proof that the company must put renewed effort into matching the environmental commitments of industry peers such as Citigroup and Bank of America."

 Nutriset SAS, a French company specializing in humanitarian nutrition, thinks it has that solution: Plumpy'nut, a peanut-based paste with the nutritional value of the F-100 milk formula. Plumpy'nut requires no preparation or mixing—it can be eaten right from the bag—so it can be distributed directly to affected communities. It's also much more palatable than other formulas (it tastes like a sweeter version of peanut butter), which means it's more likely that people, particularly children, will eat enough of it to recover their health. |
