Criminal Identity theft //usurpation criminelle d'idendité

Identity theft is a term used to refer to fraud that involves stealing money or getting other benefits by pretending to be someone else. The term is relatively new and is actually a misnomer, since it is not inherently possible to steal an identity, only to use it. The person whose identity is used can suffer various consequences when they are held responsible for the perpetrator's actions. In many countries specific laws make it a crime to use another person's identity for personal gain...

When a criminal identifies himself to police as another individual it is sometimes referred to as "Criminal Identity Theft." In some cases the criminal will obtain a state issued ID using stolen documents or personal information belonging to another person, or they might simply use a fake ID. When the criminal is arrested for a crime, they present the ID to authorities, who place charges under the identity theft victim's name and release the criminal. When the criminal fails to appear for his court hearing, a warrant would be issued under the assumed name. The victim might learn of the incident if the state suspends their own drivers license, or through a background check performed for employment or other purposes, or in rare cases could be arrested when stopped for a minor traffic violation....

Paludisme// malaria

Beaucoup de pays ont enregistré une forte augmentation de la mortalité par le paludisme. Certains ont recouru à une autre substance bon marché, la sulfadoxine-pyriméthamine dont l'efficacité semble diminuer.
Partout en Afrique, il est désormais urgent de financer et de distribuer les médicaments efficaces, notamment aux femmes et aux enfants les plus exposés.
Prévenir les épidémies : Les épidémies subites de paludisme/ malaria tuent environ 100.000 africains chaque année, principalement dans les populations qui ne sont guère ou pas du tout immunisées contre la maladie. Les changements climatiques, les catastrophes naturelles, le chaos et les mouvements de population causés par la guerre et les troubles civils sont autant des facteurs propices à une montée en flèche de l'incidence. Une bonne partie de l'Afrique utilise déjà les techniques de prévision et de détection des épidémies y compris les prévisions météorologiques et la collecte régulière de données dans les districts sujets aux épidémies.
La tâche consiste maintenant à analyser fréquemment les informations recueillies pour déceler tout signe de crise et à fournir les armes et les traitements nécessaires pour éviter une catastrophe.

Erasmus Rotterdam

Erasmus, was born in Rotterdam on October 27 in either 1466 or 1469. Although associated closely with Rotterdam, he lived there for only four years, never to return and a few years later he was persuaded to enter the monastery of Steyn, near Gouda, a house of Augustinian canons. The life there was uncongenial to him; for though he had leisure to read as much as he liked, his temperament was not suited to the precision and regularity of religious observance. An opportunity for escape presented itself, when the Bishop of Cambray, a powerful ecclesiastic, was inquiring for a Latin secretary....


Erasmus hardly knew the town of Rotterdam....
