Improved housing conditions can save lives, prevent disease, increase quality of life, reduce poverty, and help mitigate climate change. Housing is becoming increasingly important to health in light of urban growth, ageing populations and climate change. The WHO Housing and health guidelines bring together the most recent evidence to provide practical recommendations to reduce the health burden due to unsafe and substandard housing. Based on newly commissioned systematic reviews, the guidelines provide recommendations relevant to inadequate living space (crowding), low and high indoor temperatures, injury hazards in the home, and accessibility of housing for people with functional impairments. In addition, the guidelines identify and summarize existing WHO guidelines and recommendations related to housing, with respect to water quality, air quality, neighbourhood noise, asbestos, lead, tobacco smoke and radon. The guidelines take a comprehensive, intersectoral perspective on the issue of housing and health and highlight co-benefits of interventions addressing several risk factors at the same time. The WHO Housing and health guidelines aim at informing housing policies and regulations at the national, regional and local level and are further relevant in the daily activities of implementing actors who are directly involved in the construction, maintenance and demolition of housing in ways that influence human health and safety. The guidelines therefore emphasize the importance of collaboration between the health and other sectors and joint efforts across all government levels to promote healthy housing. The guidelines' implementation at country-level will in particular contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals on health (SDG 3) and sustainable cities (SDG 11). WHO will support Member States in adapting the guidelines to national contexts and priorities to ensure safe and healthy housing for all.

It is my desire these principles, ideas and techniques make dealing with the cold climate tolerable, maybe even enjoyable; and your outdoor adventures even better. Over the past years I have learned that with the correct attitude, most any pursuit can be and adventure.Winter time is no different With a good understanding of the principles associated with how the body reacts to cold, the cold climates, and equipment, winter time can really become a "Winter Play Ground." With these winter events are possible and "fun" for us to enjoy. One concept I strive to teach in my books is that "principles" are a tool to control things around us. With principles we can build a predictable outcome. "Ways, Means, Methods, and Techniques change, Principles never do." The wintertime can be a time to bask in the warm winter sun (be careful though, snow reflects a high percentage of the sun's burning UV rays and it is easy to get sun burned or snow blind (sun burned eyes).More than just equipment (I include low cost equipment ideas for getting started, too!) winter requires an attitude adjustment. Most of us are used to spring, summer, and fall conditions where planning is not as important. In the winter, to make it Fun, we must adjust our attitudes, "Things take longer." It takes time to dress correctly, add and subtract layers so we don't sweat and get wet . . . or don't go without enough layers and end up losing too much heat, and become hypothermic. Did you know the head accounts for between 50% and 75% of the body's heat loss? That means, "If your feet are cold, put on a hat." Better yet, "Stay warm." It is much easier to "Stay Warm" than it is to get warm. If winter is not already a flavorful spice in your life, I hope the information and knowledge in this book, about the winter season, changes winter into a fun time of year. I have led four expeditions to the "Coldest Mountain on Earth." This experience has taught me way to stay warm, and actually enjoy the winter time. I am looking forward to sharing this skills and ideas with you, as I embark upon my third career - writing. I have done freelance writing for many years, but I have never tried to make a living doing it. Well, for a number of reasons, I am embarking on this new adventure. While working as a National Park Ranger, I started teaching Mountaineering on the side. This evolved into a business called Hansen Mountaineering I, along with my family, served the people of Utah for about 20 years. At that time life changed some for me, and I stepped into the High Angle Safety, Work and Rescue Industry. Well, it seems to be a good time for another career shift, into writing. Of course, Mountaineering and Technical High Angle Work and Rescue will always be part of my life, but for a number of reasons it make sense for me to pursue writing. I am working on polishing those skills and my work is available on Amazon.com Please do enjoy it, and if you have questions or comments you can contact me at www.HansenSpecialities.com [email protected] or [email protected] Thanks for your interest.Spring, Summer, and Fall all have their own unique flavor, or spice like quality. Winter also has its own unique flavor or spice like effect on life, when we learn how to work with it.

The activities of the Food and Nutrition Board's Committee on Military Nutrition Research (CMNR, the committee) have been supported since 1994 by grant DAMD17-94-J-4046 from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC). This report fulfills the final reporting requirement of the grant, and presents a summary of activities for the grant period from December 1, 1994 through May 31, 1999. During this grant period, the CMNR has met from three to six times each year in response to issues that are brought to the committee through the Military Nutrition and Biochemistry Division of the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine at Natick, Massachusetts, and the Military Operational Medicine Program of USAMRMC at Fort Detrick, Maryland. The CMNR has submitted five workshop reports (plus two preliminary reports), including one that is a joint project with the Subcommittee on Body Composition, Nutrition, and Health of Military Women; three letter reports, and one brief report, all with recommendations, to the Commander, U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, since September 1995 and has a brief report currently in preparation. These reports are summarized in the following activity report with synopses of additional topics for which reports were deferred pending completion of military research in progress. This activity report includes as appendixes the conclusions and recommendations from the nine reports and has been prepared in a fashion to allow rapid access to committee recommendations on the topics covered over the time period.

A “courageous and revelatory memoir” (Naomi Klein) chronicling the life of the leading Indigenous climate change, cultural, and human rights advocate For the first ten years of her life, Sheila Watt-Cloutier traveled only by dog team. Today there are more snow machines than dogs in her native Nunavik, a region that is part of the homeland of the Inuit in Canada. In Inuktitut, the language of Inuit, the elders say that the weather is Uggianaqtuq—behaving in strange and unexpected ways. The Right to Be Cold is Watt-Cloutier’s memoir of growing up in the Arctic reaches of Quebec during these unsettling times. It is the story of an Inuk woman finding her place in the world, only to find her native land giving way to the inexorable warming of the planet. She decides to take a stand against its destruction. The Right to Be Cold is the human story of life on the front lines of climate change, told by a woman who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most influential Indigenous environmental, cultural, and human rights advocates in the world. Raised by a single mother and grandmother in the small community of Kuujjuaq, Quebec, Watt-Cloutier describes life in the traditional ice-based hunting culture of an Inuit community and reveals how Indigenous life, human rights, and the threat of climate change are inextricably linked. Colonialism intervened in this world and in her life in often violent ways, and she traces her path from Nunavik to Nova Scotia (where she was sent at the age of ten to live with a family that was not her own); to a residential school in Churchill, Manitoba; and back to her hometown to work as an interpreter and student counselor. The Right to Be Cold is at once the intimate coming-of-age story of a remarkable woman, a deeply informed look at the life and culture of an Indigenous community reeling from a colonial history and now threatened by climate change, and a stirring account of an activist’s powerful efforts to safeguard Inuit culture, the Arctic, and the planet.
