Impacts of Vitamin A Degradation on the Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness of Vitamin A Fortification Programs
Dietary vitamin A inadequacy remains a serious public health problem, especially among young children. Food and condiment fortification programs and policies are in place in many countries to address this issue, but degradation of the vitamin A added via fortification can reduce the quantity of vitamin A reaching consumers. We modeled the impacts of vitamin A degradation on program effectiveness and cost-effectiveness in fortified wheat flour, su…

Estimating the cost and cost‐effectiveness of adding zinc to, and improving the performance of, Burkina Faso's mandatory wheat flour fortification programme
Zinc is an essential micronutrient that promotes normal growth, development and immune function. In the context of persistent dietary zinc inadequacies, large-scale food fortification can help fill the gap between intake and requirements. Burkina Faso mandates wheat flour fortification with iron and folic acid. We used activity-based cost modelling to estimate the cost of adding zinc to the country's wheat flour fortification standard assuming (1…
"All in the Day's Work"
In Naked Lunch, the institutions and practices of science and medicine, specifically with regard to psychiatry/psychology, are symptoms of a bureaucratic system of control that shapes, constructs, defines, and makes procrustean alterations to both the mind and body of human subjects. Using sickness and junk (or heroin) as convenient metaphors for both a Cold War binary mentality and the mandatory consumption of twentieth-century capitalism, Burro…

Burgess’s Unflinching Vision
Bermuda's 'Domesday Book
Richard Norwood's two early surveys of Bermuda (1617 and 1663) provide highly detailed evidence of early architecture and settlement patterns in Great Britain's oldest remaining colony. This article analyses shifts in land ownership, residence locations and house forms that occurred during Bermuda's first half-century of colonization. It is argued that Norwood's maps have the potential to reveal the locations of more than 400 early archaeological…
The Binds of the Anxious Mariner
This essay examines the roles and social responsibilities of mariners (ship captains and mates) through a close study of eighteenth-century Bermuda’s merchant marine. Challenging studies focused on ordinary seamen which mainly portray ship captains in negative, oppositional ways, this article instead explores links between the crews of typical small intercolonial trading vessels. Bermudian mariners had complex, reciprocal relationships with both …
Maritime Masters and Seafaring Slaves in Bermuda, 1680-1783
HE grey dawn light on the morning of May 9, 1782, revealed to the masthead lookout of the Continental frigate Deane a strange sail on the horizon. Even at a distance, he guessed that the vessel with the raked-back masts to leeward was a Bermudian privateer. This late in the War of Independence, only fast runners, privateers, and warships cruised the waters off the Carolinas. She would bring welcome prize money to the Deane's crew, rounding out a …

The Vingboons Chart of the James River, Virginia, circa 1617
I N the late i630s, a young Dutch cartographer named Johannes Vingboons gave the finishing touches to a nautical chart of the James River in Virginia. As he inked in the contours of the river and recorded the soundings made by his informant at the English colony, he worked carefully; the success of trade ventures and even the lives of sailors using his chart in the future depended on its accuracy. He hoped such a map would attract the interest of…
