The Norwegian-Lithuanian study3 was the first controlled study to examine the association between rear-end collisions and the development of chronic neck pain and headaches. Following the sudden occurrence in Norway of a devastating \"epidemic\" in which 70 000 people, from a population of 4.5 million, claimed to have been disabled by whiplash, Harald Schrader and his Norwegian colleagues wanted to learn more about the course of whiplash uncomplicated by the availability of insurance and fashionable beliefs that whiplash causes disabling symptoms. They chose Lithuania, a country in which there was no personal injury insurance and where few people had heard of whiplash. To reach significance in a study of whiplash, a large number of subjects is needed because the prevalence of neck pains and headache in the community is high, and any possible addition caused by whiplash injury is small. This means that for any individual whiplash claimant, the chances of persistent symptoms being due to the collision rather than to the ordinary exigencies of life are much below the 50% probability required by civil law for the perpetrator of the accident to be held financially liable. If lawyers and medical expert witnesses refrained from bringing to court \"junk\" whiplash science, judges would seldom award compensation for whiplash complaints. Given that the high cost of auto insurance premiums reflects the excessive cost of whiplash claims, premiums could thereby be reduced to more manageable levels. Studies from Western countries indicate that 15% to 58% of people with a whiplash injury experience the late whiplash syndrome.5-9 Our 2 controlled studies10,11 were conducted in Lithuania, a country where whiplash injury provides little opportunity for \"secondary gain\" and where there is little awareness that whiplash injury is a reputed cause of chronic pain and disability. Altogether, we evaluated 412 people who had been involved in rear-end collisions, which gave an estimated minimum of 180 subjects with acute whiplash injury (i.e., acute symptoms).12 According to previous reports this number should have yielded between 27 and 104 people with late whiplash syndrome. Yet we identified no subjects with chronic symptoms related to the collision. If the late whiplash syndrome does exist, it seems to occur very infrequently in Lithuania.

\"Anarchists like to cook, too,\" joked Tom Malleson, as he chopped dozens of cloves of garlic in preparation for Tuesday night's dinner. The Kitchen gets almost half its stock from donations. Breads and pastries are dropped off by \"activist bakers,\" according to Malleson, as well as donations from community gardeners and fruit and vegetable stalls in Kensington market. The money to purchase food comes from fundraising. Protesters don't have to pay a cent. \"It's not just a kitchen that prepares food, but actually a political space in itself,\" he said. \"The people help with the cooking, clean their own dishes. And the whole enterprise of cooking is done in what seems to be a very cool sprit of solidarity and mutual aid.\"

The top killers of Canadians are largely preventable and the result of personal choice -- heart disease, cancer, stroke, accidents, diseases of the respiratory system, type 2 diabetes, suicide, and cirrhosis of the liver. We hope that medicine will make up for our unhealthy lifestyle and destructive behaviour. It only prolongs the inevitable. As a statistic, life expectancy has improved primarily because of reduced infant mortality. The outlook of infants has improved immensely while the outlook for the middle-aged has not. Middle- aged Canadians continue to die from unhealthy lifestyles, bad choices and the chemical soup that we live in. We hope that medicine will save us from ourselves. Our faith in modern medicine and the infallibility of the medical establishment is a relatively recent phenomena. The golden age of medicine that started in the late 1940s came to an end in the 1970s. All the easy cures had been found. The antibiotic drugs that were once miracles are now loosing their magic.

D2, the company behind The Mouse Club, provides animation for BBC and Channel 4, and [Graham Malleson] says the site is their way of giving something back. The site's three main characters, Red Mouse, Blue Mouse and Roly, allow for different types of interaction between them while their colourful and humorous cartoon design make them easy for children to relate to. Graham explains: \"We produced a CD-ROM last year called Mouse Island that featured cartoon characters with regional accents ( including a North-East character. The CD was intended to teach children to see difference as fun.\" Children's sites for rainy days: www.mamamedia.com www.bonus.com www.yucky.com www.wonka.com www.switcheroozoo.com www.magictricks.co.uk www.24hourmuseum.org.uk www.badgeplanet.co.uk www.neopets.com

The First World War produced a remarkable body of poetry by the likes of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. It's less well known that this conflict also provoked protest in the form of plays. That's hardly surprising, since dissident drama was apt to be suppressed. Shining a torch into this dark, neglected corner of theatrical history, the enterprising Two's Company now present a fascinating triple bill comprised of two English plays by Miles Malleson, published in 1916 and seized by the police, and a staged Geman radio drama, broadcast in 1929 but later banned by the Nazis.

Against Pleasance artistic director Christopher Richardson's powerfully atmospheric panelled sets, [Miles Malleson]'s dramas show such desperate scenes as an educated soldier reading letters to an illiterate colleague from his mother, who has lost one son and is frantic not to lose a second. In a programming choice that Malleson would surely have approved, a third play by the German Ernst Johannsen, set in a trench telephone exchange, underlines the similarities of British and German soldiers struggling with the arrogant incompetence of their superiors.

AFTER playing a doctor in A&E, a police officer in The Vice and femme fatale English teacher Penny in Teachers, Tamzin Malleson has the complete set of authority figures on her CV. Malleson's flirtatious character Penny sees a few changes this time round - new girl Lindsay, played by Vicky Hall, shares her flat, while she gets her comeuppance after her affair with cynical married colleague Matt (James Lance). While Penny soon reverts to her glamorous old ways, life on the set is quite the opposite, according to Malleson who grins: 'We certainly don't have any glamorous locations for Teachers.'
