In "The Crucible" why do you think Rev. Parris has many enemies? - The Crucible - Questions & Answers on 2009-12-04
-
his sermons aren't very uplifting or motivating;
-
that people don't like Parris is because he whines about his salary, and strives to gain ownership of the meetinghouse where the church and his residence is.

WHO | Financial crisis and global health on 2009-10-11
-
I should like to make three points: regarding the duration of the crisis, the current crisis is rapidly spreading to the global economy, and, while most forecasters see the beginnings of recovery in late 2009 or early 2010, the actual duration of the recession depends on the speed and effectiveness of policies in the developed countries. In terms of the consequences for developing countries, the full force of the global recession has not yet hit developing countries, so countries should begin to design macroeconomic and trade strategies now to weather the storm. With regard to the effects on health in low-income countries, the silver lining around this otherwise dark cloud is that, for now at least, no forecaster is predicting the kind of devastating economic collapse seen in East Asia during the 1997 crisis, in Mexico in 1995, or in Argentina in 2001; so the consequences for health may not be catastrophic. However, they will be severe, so the lessons of those episodes are important. The most immediate effects are likely to be through the scissors of rising health costs and diminished resources. The cost of imported health inputs rise because of depreciating currencies; resources shrink as lower incomes depress private spending on health and slower growth cuts into tax revenues that would otherwise be available for public health. Key priorities are programmes that maintain or expand health services to the poor and encouraging donors to keep development assistance, which is critical to health financing.
