A comparative study between the lunar soil simulant (LSS) and PM2.5 was performed to discover their harm to human biological systems and explore the methods of prevention and treatment of dust poisoning for future lunar manned landings. The steps to the moon never stopped after the Apollo Project. Lessons from manned landings on the moon have shown that lunar dust has great influence on the health of astronauts. They aim to land on the far side of the moon, and the aim to collect lunar samples to be analyzed on Earth, have already been planned to launch in the coming years. After that, China also has the strategy to send astronauts to the lunar surface. However, lunar dust is the primary environmental challenge that astronauts must face during manned landings. To protect the health and safety of astronauts exposed to lunar dust is one of the most important issues to research. Lunar dust is one of the most serious challenges that mankind must face in future manned lunar missions. NASA once carried out a preliminary study of the toxicity to assess the risk when people are exposed to lunar dust and set the standards to protect the astronauts. China has completed many lunar explorations in recent decades and had the ambition to send astronauts to the moon surface; however, research on lunar dust toxicity is still rare. Therefore, evaluating lunar dust toxicity is essential and necessary for future manned lunar exploration. Because real lunar soil is very rare, the CAS-1 lunar soil simulant developed by scientists in China was used as a substitute for real lunar soil in this study. This is practical because both the CAS-1 lunar soil simulant and lunar samples from Apollo 14 have almost the same mineral composition, chemical composition, and physical and mechanical properties. In this paper, the results of lung histopathology also indicated that rat lung tissue showed inflammation caused by lunar dust. Additionally, the severity worsened with the increase of the dose and time. From the test results, LSS may show more pulmonary toxicity than PM2.5. Moreover, LSS could cause lung parenchymal damage and generate inflammatory lesions. This study evaluated the acute effects on rat lungs of two types of dust, PM2.5, and LSS. The changes in the biomarkers in the BALF were consistent with the results of histopathological observations. Of course, research on LSS cannot fully reflect the true toxicity of lunar dust, but it will help us to understand better the dangers of manned lunar explorations. In the above experiments with limited conditions, the non-uniformity of the dust particle size may also have affected the results, but this issue will be improved in a future study.

A call tree is a layered hierarchical communication model that is used to notify specific individuals of an event and coordinate recovery, if necessary. A call tree is also known as a phone tree, call list, phone chain or text chain. Call trees play an important role in disaster recovery plans. They can be automated with software that contacts individuals using a landline, email, cellphone, text message or another type of communication. Smaller organizations will often use a manual call tree in which each person who receives a call is responsible for calling others in the tree. The team creating the call tree coordinates data gathering with human resources, as contact data typically come from that department. Each listed employee may have several contacts, including office, home and cellphone numbers, and an email address. The list of contacts, and sequence of notification, is then approved by the emergency management team and company management. The emergency call tree should be available in several locations -- such as the company Intranet and in hard-copy format -- and someone should keep the information up to date. In terms of format, the call tree can exist as a simple worksheet with a tabular structure, listing who calls whom. How call trees work During an incident, the call tree is initiated once the emergency management team has completed its assessment and determined that employees must be notified. One employee is designated to launch the emergency call tree. An organization should have an alternate call tree lead in the event the original lead is not available. As the call tree progresses, members should take notes on people they can't reach, as that data must be relayed back to the emergency team for follow-up. To ensure calls were completed as planned, the last person on the list should confirm receipt of the final call to a designated employee. Another designated employee can serve as the communication list manager to monitor responses and contact backup staff as necessary. Once the entire call tree has been notified, other business continuity plan procedures can proceed. Call tree benefits include human interaction, the ability to relay important information and the creation of a comprehensive list of employee contact information. Automated vs. manual call trees In manual cases, each person on the call tree contacts the next person on the list and so on, until everyone has been contacted. In the event the next person on the list cannot be reached, the caller continues with the next level of the phone tree so the chain does not break. The manual call tree procedure, while often simple and effective, may not be scalable and could take too long if there are a large number of employees who need to be contacted. To address this limitation, there is an automated method that allows business continuity managers to record a voice message that is broadcast to employees. During this call, a manager can configure the system to receive input from users, such as "Press 2 if you need any assistance." Because the automated method places calls simultaneously, this can help to reduce or eliminate possible breaks in the emergency call tree. The systems can keep track of all calls made and the responses received. Emergency notification systems can have two forms: - in-house devices that generate outgoing messages to contacts stored in databases; and - managed services in which the user accesses the emergency notification system through a phone call or the internet. Call tree software is now available from vendors such as AtHoc, Everbridge, MIR3, One Call Now and Send Word Now. An emergency communications plan may include both an automated notification system and a traditional landline tree in case internet or cellular service is disrupted. Call tree testing The phone tree can be tested by doing a walk-through in a conference room or another office location. This process ensures everyone knows what to do when the emergency call tree is initiated, confirms the call tree procedure works according to plan and validates that contact information is correct. Call tree testing guidelines include: - asking designated callers to ask recipients to confirm other contact numbers; - recording the start and end time of the call tree exercise to figure out how long it takes; - making the necessary corrections regarding contact information; and - creating records for audit purposes. A testing exercise provides a critical check of the call tree procedure in the event of an incident. A company can complete call tree testing on its own or perform it as part of a full-scale disaster recovery test. History of the call tree and its improvements At one time, a manual call tree may have been the only option available to organizations due to technological limitations. But a phone-only tree is not as sustainable as it used to be. For example, cellphone coverage can be lost during an emergency, and employees use a variety of devices and media to communicate information. For example, a text message may be an easier way to reach someone than a phone call. Automated call tree software options have increased in recent years. Functionalities beyond emergency notification include: - conference calls - person-to-person communication - message center - customer notification - progress reporting - employee reporting - text-to-speech messaging

A call tree is also known as a phone tree, call list, phone chain or text chain.

A call tree is a layered hierarchical communication model that is used to notify specific individuals of an event and coordinate recovery, if necessary. A call tree is also known as a phone tree, call list, phone chain or text chain. Call trees play an important role in disaster recovery plans. They can be automated with software that contacts individuals using a landline, email, cellphone, text message or another type of communication. Smaller organizations will often use a manual call tree in which each person who receives a call is responsible for calling others in the tree. The team creating the call tree coordinates data gathering with human resources, as contact data typically come from that department. Each listed employee may have several contacts, including office, home and cellphone numbers, and an email address. The list of contacts, and sequence of notification, is then approved by the emergency management team and company management. The emergency call tree should be available in several locations -- such as the company Intranet and in hard-copy format -- and someone should keep the information up to date. In terms of format, the call tree can exist as a simple worksheet with a tabular structure, listing who calls whom. How call trees work During an incident, the call tree is initiated once the emergency management team has completed its assessment and determined that employees must be notified. One employee is designated to launch the emergency call tree. An organization should have an alternate call tree lead in the event the original lead is not available. As the call tree progresses, members should take notes on people they can't reach, as that data must be relayed back to the emergency team for follow-up. To ensure calls were completed as planned, the last person on the list should confirm receipt of the final call to a designated employee. Another designated employee can serve as the communication list manager to monitor responses and contact backup staff as necessary. Once the entire call tree has been notified, other business continuity plan procedures can proceed. Call tree benefits include human interaction, the ability to relay important information and the creation of a comprehensive list of employee contact information. Automated vs. manual call trees In manual cases, each person on the call tree contacts the next person on the list and so on, until everyone has been contacted. In the event the next person on the list cannot be reached, the caller continues with the next level of the phone tree so the chain does not break. The manual call tree procedure, while often simple and effective, may not be scalable and could take too long if there are a large number of employees who need to be contacted. To address this limitation, there is an automated method that allows business continuity managers to record a voice message that is broadcast to employees. During this call, a manager can configure the system to receive input from users, such as "Press 2 if you need any assistance." Because the automated method places calls simultaneously, this can help to reduce or eliminate possible breaks in the emergency call tree. The systems can keep track of all calls made and the responses received. Emergency notification systems can have two forms: - in-house devices that generate outgoing messages to contacts stored in databases; and - managed services in which the user accesses the emergency notification system through a phone call or the internet. Call tree software is now available from vendors such as AtHoc, Everbridge, MIR3, One Call Now and Send Word Now. An emergency communications plan may include both an automated notification system and a traditional landline tree in case internet or cellular service is disrupted. Call tree testing The phone tree can be tested by doing a walk-through in a conference room or another office location. This process ensures everyone knows what to do when the emergency call tree is initiated, confirms the call tree procedure works according to plan and validates that contact information is correct. Call tree testing guidelines include: - asking designated callers to ask recipients to confirm other contact numbers; - recording the start and end time of the call tree exercise to figure out how long it takes; - making the necessary corrections regarding contact information; and - creating records for audit purposes. A testing exercise provides a critical check of the call tree procedure in the event of an incident. A company can complete call tree testing on its own or perform it as part of a full-scale disaster recovery test. History of the call tree and its improvements At one time, a manual call tree may have been the only option available to organizations due to technological limitations. But a phone-only tree is not as sustainable as it used to be. For example, cellphone coverage can be lost during an emergency, and employees use a variety of devices and media to communicate information. For example, a text message may be an easier way to reach someone than a phone call. Automated call tree software options have increased in recent years. Functionalities beyond emergency notification include: - conference calls - person-to-person communication - message center - customer notification - progress reporting - employee reporting - text-to-speech messaging

The list of contacts, and sequence of notification, is then approved by the emergency management team and company management. The emergency call tree should be available in several locations -- such as the company Intranet and in hard-copy format -- and someone should keep the information up to date. In terms of format, the call tree can exist as a simple worksheet with a tabular structure, listing who calls whom. How call trees work During an incident, the call tree is initiated once the emergency management team has completed its assessment and determined that employees must be notified. One employee is designated to launch the emergency call tree. An organization should have an alternate call tree lead in the event the original lead is not available. As the call tree progresses, members should take notes on people they can't reach, as that data must be relayed back to the emergency team for follow-up. To ensure calls were completed as planned, the last person on the list should confirm receipt of the final call to a designated employee. Another designated employee can serve as the communication list manager to monitor responses and contact backup staff as necessary. Once the entire call tree has been notified, other business continuity plan procedures can proceed. Call tree benefits include human interaction, the ability to relay important information and the creation of a comprehensive list of employee contact information. Automated vs. manual call trees In manual cases, each person on the call tree contacts the next person on the list and so on, until everyone has been contacted. In the event the next person on the list cannot be reached, the caller continues with the next level of the phone tree so the chain does not break. The manual call tree procedure, while often simple and effective, may not be scalable and could take too long if there are a large number of employees who need to be contacted. To address this limitation, there is an automated method that allows business continuity managers to record a voice message that is broadcast to employees. During this call, a manager can configure the system to receive input from users, such as "Press 2 if you need any assistance." Because the automated method places calls simultaneously, this can help to reduce or eliminate possible breaks in the emergency call tree. The systems can keep track of all calls made and the responses received. Emergency notification systems can have two forms: - in-house devices that generate outgoing messages to contacts stored in databases; and - managed services in which the user accesses the emergency notification system through a phone call or the internet. Call tree software is now available from vendors such as AtHoc, Everbridge, MIR3, One Call Now and Send Word Now. An emergency communications plan may include both an automated notification system and a traditional landline tree in case internet or cellular service is disrupted. Call tree testing The phone tree can be tested by doing a walk-through in a conference room or another office location. This process ensures everyone knows what to do when the emergency call tree is initiated, confirms the call tree procedure works according to plan and validates that contact information is correct. Call tree testing guidelines include: - asking designated callers to ask recipients to confirm other contact numbers; - recording the start and end time of the call tree exercise to figure out how long it takes; - making the necessary corrections regarding contact information; and - creating records for audit purposes. A testing exercise provides a critical check of the call tree procedure in the event of an incident. A company can complete call tree testing on its own or perform it as part of a full-scale disaster recovery test. History of the call tree and its improvements At one time, a manual call tree may have been the only option available to organizations due to technological limitations. But a phone-only tree is not as sustainable as it used to be. For example, cellphone coverage can be lost during an emergency, and employees use a variety of devices and media to communicate information. For example, a text message may be an easier way to reach someone than a phone call. Automated call tree software options have increased in recent years. Functionalities beyond emergency notification include: - conference calls - person-to-person communication - message center - customer notification - progress reporting - employee reporting - text-to-speech messaging

The emergency call tree should be available in several locations -- such as the company Intranet and in hard-copy format -- and someone should keep the information up to date.

A call tree is a layered hierarchical communication model that is used to notify specific individuals of an event and coordinate recovery, if necessary. A call tree is also known as a phone tree, call list, phone chain or text chain. Call trees play an important role in disaster recovery plans. They can be automated with software that contacts individuals using a landline, email, cellphone, text message or another type of communication. Smaller organizations will often use a manual call tree in which each person who receives a call is responsible for calling others in the tree.

Automated vs. manual call trees In manual cases, each person on the call tree contacts the next person on the list and so on, until everyone has been contacted. In the event the next person on the list cannot be reached, the caller continues with the next level of the phone tree so the chain does not break. The manual call tree procedure, while often simple and effective, may not be scalable and could take too long if there are a large number of employees who need to be contacted. To address this limitation, there is an automated method that allows business continuity managers to record a voice message that is broadcast to employees. During this call, a manager can configure the system to receive input from users, such as "Press 2 if you need any assistance." Because the automated method places calls simultaneously, this can help to reduce or eliminate possible breaks in the emergency call tree. The systems can keep track of all calls made and the responses received. Emergency notification systems can have two forms: - in-house devices that generate outgoing messages to contacts stored in databases; and - managed services in which the user accesses the emergency notification system through a phone call or the internet. Call tree software is now available from vendors such as AtHoc, Everbridge, MIR3, One Call Now and Send Word Now. An emergency communications plan may include both an automated notification system and a traditional landline tree in case internet or cellular service is disrupted. Call tree testing The phone tree can be tested by doing a walk-through in a conference room or another office location. This process ensures everyone knows what to do when the emergency call tree is initiated, confirms the call tree procedure works according to plan and validates that contact information is correct. Call tree testing guidelines include: - asking designated callers to ask recipients to confirm other contact numbers; - recording the start and end time of the call tree exercise to figure out how long it takes; - making the necessary corrections regarding contact information; and - creating records for audit purposes. A testing exercise provides a critical check of the call tree procedure in the event of an incident. A company can complete call tree testing on its own or perform it as part of a full-scale disaster recovery test. History of the call tree and its improvements At one time, a manual call tree may have been the only option available to organizations due to technological limitations. But a phone-only tree is not as sustainable as it used to be. For example, cellphone coverage can be lost during an emergency, and employees use a variety of devices and media to communicate information. For example, a text message may be an easier way to reach someone than a phone call. Automated call tree software options have increased in recent years. Functionalities beyond emergency notification include: - conference calls - person-to-person communication - message center - customer notification - progress reporting - employee reporting - text-to-speech messaging

To ensure calls were completed as planned, the last person on the list should confirm receipt of the final call to a designated employee.

A call tree is a layered hierarchical communication model that is used to notify specific individuals of an event and coordinate recovery, if necessary. A call tree is also known as a phone tree, call list, phone chain or text chain. Call trees play an important role in disaster recovery plans. They can be automated with software that contacts individuals using a landline, email, cellphone, text message or another type of communication. Smaller organizations will often use a manual call tree in which each person who receives a call is responsible for calling others in the tree. The team creating the call tree coordinates data gathering with human resources, as contact data typically come from that department. Each listed employee may have several contacts, including office, home and cellphone numbers, and an email address. The list of contacts, and sequence of notification, is then approved by the emergency management team and company management. The emergency call tree should be available in several locations -- such as the company Intranet and in hard-copy format -- and someone should keep the information up to date. In terms of format, the call tree can exist as a simple worksheet with a tabular structure, listing who calls whom. How call trees work During an incident, the call tree is initiated once the emergency management team has completed its assessment and determined that employees must be notified. One employee is designated to launch the emergency call tree. An organization should have an alternate call tree lead in the event the original lead is not available. As the call tree progresses, members should take notes on people they can't reach, as that data must be relayed back to the emergency team for follow-up. To ensure calls were completed as planned, the last person on the list should confirm receipt of the final call to a designated employee. Another designated employee can serve as the communication list manager to monitor responses and contact backup staff as necessary.

An emergency communications plan may include both an automated notification system and a traditional landline tree in case internet or cellular service is disrupted. Call tree testing The phone tree can be tested by doing a walk-through in a conference room or another office location. This process ensures everyone knows what to do when the emergency call tree is initiated, confirms the call tree procedure works according to plan and validates that contact information is correct. Call tree testing guidelines include: - asking designated callers to ask recipients to confirm other contact numbers; - recording the start and end time of the call tree exercise to figure out how long it takes; - making the necessary corrections regarding contact information; and - creating records for audit purposes.

The manual call tree procedure, while often simple and effective, may not be scalable and could take too long if there are a large number of employees who need to be contacted.

A call tree is a layered hierarchical communication model that is used to notify specific individuals of an event and coordinate recovery, if necessary. A call tree is also known as a phone tree, call list, phone chain or text chain. Call trees play an important role in disaster recovery plans. They can be automated with software that contacts individuals using a landline, email, cellphone, text message or another type of communication. Smaller organizations will often use a manual call tree in which each person who receives a call is responsible for calling others in the tree. The team creating the call tree coordinates data gathering with human resources, as contact data typically come from that department. Each listed employee may have several contacts, including office, home and cellphone numbers, and an email address. The list of contacts, and sequence of notification, is then approved by the emergency management team and company management. The emergency call tree should be available in several locations -- such as the company Intranet and in hard-copy format -- and someone should keep the information up to date. In terms of format, the call tree can exist as a simple worksheet with a tabular structure, listing who calls whom. How call trees work During an incident, the call tree is initiated once the emergency management team has completed its assessment and determined that employees must be notified. One employee is designated to launch the emergency call tree. An organization should have an alternate call tree lead in the event the original lead is not available. As the call tree progresses, members should take notes on people they can't reach, as that data must be relayed back to the emergency team for follow-up. To ensure calls were completed as planned, the last person on the list should confirm receipt of the final call to a designated employee. Another designated employee can serve as the communication list manager to monitor responses and contact backup staff as necessary. Once the entire call tree has been notified, other business continuity plan procedures can proceed. Call tree benefits include human interaction, the ability to relay important information and the creation of a comprehensive list of employee contact information. Automated vs. manual call trees In manual cases, each person on the call tree contacts the next person on the list and so on, until everyone has been contacted. In the event the next person on the list cannot be reached, the caller continues with the next level of the phone tree so the chain does not break. The manual call tree procedure, while often simple and effective, may not be scalable and could take too long if there are a large number of employees who need to be contacted. To address this limitation, there is an automated method that allows business continuity managers to record a voice message that is broadcast to employees. During this call, a manager can configure the system to receive input from users, such as "Press 2 if you need any assistance." Because the automated method places calls simultaneously, this can help to reduce or eliminate possible breaks in the emergency call tree. The systems can keep track of all calls made and the responses received.

Call tree software is now available from vendors such as AtHoc, Everbridge, MIR3, One Call Now and Send Word Now.

A call tree is a layered hierarchical communication model that is used to notify specific individuals of an event and coordinate recovery, if necessary. A call tree is also known as a phone tree, call list, phone chain or text chain. Call trees play an important role in disaster recovery plans. They can be automated with software that contacts individuals using a landline, email, cellphone, text message or another type of communication. Smaller organizations will often use a manual call tree in which each person who receives a call is responsible for calling others in the tree. The team creating the call tree coordinates data gathering with human resources, as contact data typically come from that department. Each listed employee may have several contacts, including office, home and cellphone numbers, and an email address. The list of contacts, and sequence of notification, is then approved by the emergency management team and company management. The emergency call tree should be available in several locations -- such as the company Intranet and in hard-copy format -- and someone should keep the information up to date. In terms of format, the call tree can exist as a simple worksheet with a tabular structure, listing who calls whom. How call trees work During an incident, the call tree is initiated once the emergency management team has completed its assessment and determined that employees must be notified. One employee is designated to launch the emergency call tree. An organization should have an alternate call tree lead in the event the original lead is not available. As the call tree progresses, members should take notes on people they can't reach, as that data must be relayed back to the emergency team for follow-up. To ensure calls were completed as planned, the last person on the list should confirm receipt of the final call to a designated employee. Another designated employee can serve as the communication list manager to monitor responses and contact backup staff as necessary. Once the entire call tree has been notified, other business continuity plan procedures can proceed. Call tree benefits include human interaction, the ability to relay important information and the creation of a comprehensive list of employee contact information. Automated vs. manual call trees In manual cases, each person on the call tree contacts the next person on the list and so on, until everyone has been contacted. In the event the next person on the list cannot be reached, the caller continues with the next level of the phone tree so the chain does not break. The manual call tree procedure, while often simple and effective, may not be scalable and could take too long if there are a large number of employees who need to be contacted. To address this limitation, there is an automated method that allows business continuity managers to record a voice message that is broadcast to employees. During this call, a manager can configure the system to receive input from users, such as "Press 2 if you need any assistance." Because the automated method places calls simultaneously, this can help to reduce or eliminate possible breaks in the emergency call tree. The systems can keep track of all calls made and the responses received. Emergency notification systems can have two forms: - in-house devices that generate outgoing messages to contacts stored in databases; and - managed services in which the user accesses the emergency notification system through a phone call or the internet. Call tree software is now available from vendors such as AtHoc, Everbridge, MIR3, One Call Now and Send Word Now. An emergency communications plan may include both an automated notification system and a traditional landline tree in case internet or cellular service is disrupted. Call tree testing The phone tree can be tested by doing a walk-through in a conference room or another office location. This process ensures everyone knows what to do when the emergency call tree is initiated, confirms the call tree procedure works according to plan and validates that contact information is correct. Call tree testing guidelines include: - asking designated callers to ask recipients to confirm other contact numbers; - recording the start and end time of the call tree exercise to figure out how long it takes; - making the necessary corrections regarding contact information; and - creating records for audit purposes.

A company can complete call tree testing on its own or perform it as part of a full-scale disaster recovery test.

A call tree is a layered hierarchical communication model that is used to notify specific individuals of an event and coordinate recovery, if necessary. A call tree is also known as a phone tree, call list, phone chain or text chain. Call trees play an important role in disaster recovery plans. They can be automated with software that contacts individuals using a landline, email, cellphone, text message or another type of communication. Smaller organizations will often use a manual call tree in which each person who receives a call is responsible for calling others in the tree. The team creating the call tree coordinates data gathering with human resources, as contact data typically come from that department. Each listed employee may have several contacts, including office, home and cellphone numbers, and an email address. The list of contacts, and sequence of notification, is then approved by the emergency management team and company management. The emergency call tree should be available in several locations -- such as the company Intranet and in hard-copy format -- and someone should keep the information up to date. In terms of format, the call tree can exist as a simple worksheet with a tabular structure, listing who calls whom. How call trees work During an incident, the call tree is initiated once the emergency management team has completed its assessment and determined that employees must be notified. One employee is designated to launch the emergency call tree. An organization should have an alternate call tree lead in the event the original lead is not available. As the call tree progresses, members should take notes on people they can't reach, as that data must be relayed back to the emergency team for follow-up. To ensure calls were completed as planned, the last person on the list should confirm receipt of the final call to a designated employee. Another designated employee can serve as the communication list manager to monitor responses and contact backup staff as necessary. Once the entire call tree has been notified, other business continuity plan procedures can proceed. Call tree benefits include human interaction, the ability to relay important information and the creation of a comprehensive list of employee contact information. Automated vs. manual call trees In manual cases, each person on the call tree contacts the next person on the list and so on, until everyone has been contacted. In the event the next person on the list cannot be reached, the caller continues with the next level of the phone tree so the chain does not break. The manual call tree procedure, while often simple and effective, may not be scalable and could take too long if there are a large number of employees who need to be contacted. To address this limitation, there is an automated method that allows business continuity managers to record a voice message that is broadcast to employees. During this call, a manager can configure the system to receive input from users, such as "Press 2 if you need any assistance." Because the automated method places calls simultaneously, this can help to reduce or eliminate possible breaks in the emergency call tree. The systems can keep track of all calls made and the responses received. Emergency notification systems can have two forms: - in-house devices that generate outgoing messages to contacts stored in databases; and - managed services in which the user accesses the emergency notification system through a phone call or the internet. Call tree software is now available from vendors such as AtHoc, Everbridge, MIR3, One Call Now and Send Word Now. An emergency communications plan may include both an automated notification system and a traditional landline tree in case internet or cellular service is disrupted. Call tree testing The phone tree can be tested by doing a walk-through in a conference room or another office location. This process ensures everyone knows what to do when the emergency call tree is initiated, confirms the call tree procedure works according to plan and validates that contact information is correct. Call tree testing guidelines include: - asking designated callers to ask recipients to confirm other contact numbers; - recording the start and end time of the call tree exercise to figure out how long it takes; - making the necessary corrections regarding contact information; and - creating records for audit purposes. A testing exercise provides a critical check of the call tree procedure in the event of an incident. A company can complete call tree testing on its own or perform it as part of a full-scale disaster recovery test. History of the call tree and its improvements At one time, a manual call tree may have been the only option available to organizations due to technological limitations. But a phone-only tree is not as sustainable as it used to be. For example, cellphone coverage can be lost during an emergency, and employees use a variety of devices and media to communicate information. For example, a text message may be an easier way to reach someone than a phone call. Automated call tree software options have increased in recent years. Functionalities beyond emergency notification include: - conference calls - person-to-person communication - message center - customer notification - progress reporting - employee reporting - text-to-speech messaging

As a society, we don’t have a map to navigate the daily challenges we are facing and our children feel the stress around them no matter how hard we try to protect them. WHAT CAN PARENTS DO TO HELP THEIR CHILDREN DEAL WITH THE CURRENT CRISIS? Here are ten ways you can engage with your child during the coronavirus: - Set the tone and atmosphere in your home – Create a safe space to discuss fears and worries. - Talk openly and start the conversation with your kids – Be honest with what you know and what you don’t know. It’s ok to say “I don’t know.” - Find ways to reestablish routines – Predictability is a comfort for children, so keeping routines in place helps them feel secure. - Be creative – Play games, do crafts, play music, or go outside. Do anything to engage their senses to keep their brains sharp and keep boredom at bay. - Teach coping strategies – Reframe what’s going on so children don’t live in fear but teach them to be brave in spite of all the changes around them. Breathing techniques can help calm any anxious feelings. - Let children & teens express how they feel and don’t be upset if any regression happens – Don’t panic at their questions and be supportive. - Reach out for help if necessary – These are unprecedented times and finding a good counselor may be needed to get extra support. - Don’t feel bad if you need a break from each other – - Be OK with failing – We all fail at times so have grace for one another on a daily basis. - Teach gratitude – Being thankful goes a long way in supporting our mental health.

- Teach coping strategies – Reframe what’s going on so children don’t live in fear but teach them to be brave in spite of all the changes around them.

Did you know that Life’s Choices has parenting resources to help you connect with your kids? We know it’s hard to keep everyone going strong, especially during a global pandemic like COVID-19! As a society, we don’t have a map to navigate the daily challenges we are facing and our children feel the stress around them no matter how hard we try to protect them. WHAT CAN PARENTS DO TO HELP THEIR CHILDREN DEAL WITH THE CURRENT CRISIS? Here are ten ways you can engage with your child during the coronavirus: - Set the tone and atmosphere in your home – Create a safe space to discuss fears and worries. - Talk openly and start the conversation with your kids – Be honest with what you know and what you don’t know. It’s ok to say “I don’t know.” - Find ways to reestablish routines – Predictability is a comfort for children, so keeping routines in place helps them feel secure. - Be creative – Play games, do crafts, play music, or go outside. Do anything to engage their senses to keep their brains sharp and keep boredom at bay. - Teach coping strategies – Reframe what’s going on so children don’t live in fear but teach them to be brave in spite of all the changes around them. Breathing techniques can help calm any anxious feelings. - Let children & teens express how they feel and don’t be upset if any regression happens – Don’t panic at their questions and be supportive. - Reach out for help if necessary – These are unprecedented times and finding a good counselor may be needed to get extra support. - Don’t feel bad if you need a break from each other – - Be OK with failing – We all fail at times so have grace for one another on a daily basis. - Teach gratitude – Being thankful goes a long way in supporting our mental health. A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE EXTERNAL RESOURCES We would also like to share with you a list of our favorite book and website suggestions to provide you with extra support during this time. - The 5 Love Languages of Children by D. Ross Campbell and Gary Chapman - The 5 Love Languages of Teenagers by Gary Chapman - Whole Brained Child by Dr Tina Payne Bryson, Dr Daniel Siegel - Brainstorm by Daniel J.

As the climate changes, the Amazon Basin may release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than it absorbs, according to a new study published in the journal Nature. An international team of scientists, co-led by Professor Emanuel Gloor from the University of Leeds, found that during a dry year the Amazon Basins ecosystems exhaled more carbon dioxide (through vegetation fires) than it inhaled (through photosynthesis). During a wet year, the region was carbon neutral, with roughly equal amounts of carbon dioxide exhaled to the atmosphere and inhaled into ecosystems. We know that the Amazon undergoes a warming trend similar to the rest of the globe. There is also an increase in both droughts and severe floods. It is unclear how the Amazon forests will change in the future, said Professor Gloor, one of three lead authors on the new paper. For the first time we have observed the Basin-wide carbon balance during a very dry and a wet year, which gives us an indication of what changes to expect. Until now, scientists have found it difficult to measure the carbon balance of Amazonia at the appropriate scale. Global observations of carbon dioxide concentration are unable to focus on tropical continental regions, and field studies in the Amazon rainforest struggle to scale up to the entire forest biome. In the new study, precise airborne measurements of carbon dioxide were taken in 2010 and 2011 at multiple sites across Amazonia using aircraft that was outfitted with finely tuned instruments. This data was complemented with ground-based monitoring of the carbon dynamics at a large number of sites across Amazonia, coordinated by researchers at the University of Oxford. Measurements of carbon monoxide were also taken in order to separate fire-related carbon emissions from those associated with plant growth and soil processes, as this gas is a product of biomass burning. The precipitation patterns during the two years of the study varied considerably: 2010 was extremely dry, while 2011 was very wet. In 2010, the team found that two processes made the Amazon Basin a net source of carbon for the atmosphere. This was caused by the smoke from fires (which are severe during droughts) exhaling large quantities of carbon. The data gathered from the ground also showed that the drought-stressed vegetation was photosynthesising relatively slowly compared to years of normal moisture, decreasing the amount of carbon that is usually inhaled. In contrast, 2011 had fewer fires and relatively strong plant growth, which meant that less carbon dioxide was sent into the atmosphere and more was absorbed by growing plants. However, the region did not take up and store more carbon than it sent into the atmosphere. Rather, the Amazon was carbon-neutral, neither adding nor removing carbon from the atmosphere. Amazonia is changing. We are observing more very wet years and more very dry years, said Dr John Miller, from NOAAs Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder and co-lead on the research paper. If these trends continue, the region may become a net source of carbon to the atmosphere, moving carbon embedded in ecosystems into greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The team will continue the aircraft-based measurements over the Amazon Basin. We need to understand how sensitive these ecosystems are to climate change, and the potential for feedbacks that could further affect our climate, said Dr Luciana Gatti, from IPEN, Sao Paulo, Brazil, who co-lead on the research paper. A longer-term effort will be needed to fully understand the future carbon balance of the region. This research was primarily financed by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the State of Sao Paulo Science Foundation.

An international team of scientists, co-led by Professor Emanuel Gloor from the University of Leeds, found that during a dry year the Amazon Basins ecosystems exhaled more carbon dioxide (through vegetation fires) than it inhaled (through photosynthesis).

As the climate changes, the Amazon Basin may release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than it absorbs, according to a new study published in the journal Nature. An international team of scientists, co-led by Professor Emanuel Gloor from the University of Leeds, found that during a dry year the Amazon Basins ecosystems exhaled more carbon dioxide (through vegetation fires) than it inhaled (through photosynthesis). During a wet year, the region was carbon neutral, with roughly equal amounts of carbon dioxide exhaled to the atmosphere and inhaled into ecosystems. We know that the Amazon undergoes a warming trend similar to the rest of the globe. There is also an increase in both droughts and severe floods. It is unclear how the Amazon forests will change in the future, said Professor Gloor, one of three lead authors on the new paper. For the first time we have observed the Basin-wide carbon balance during a very dry and a wet year, which gives us an indication of what changes to expect. Until now, scientists have found it difficult to measure the carbon balance of Amazonia at the appropriate scale. Global observations of carbon dioxide concentration are unable to focus on tropical continental regions, and field studies in the Amazon rainforest struggle to scale up to the entire forest biome. In the new study, precise airborne measurements of carbon dioxide were taken in 2010 and 2011 at multiple sites across Amazonia using aircraft that was outfitted with finely tuned instruments. This data was complemented with ground-based monitoring of the carbon dynamics at a large number of sites across Amazonia, coordinated by researchers at the University of Oxford. Measurements of carbon monoxide were also taken in order to separate fire-related carbon emissions from those associated with plant growth and soil processes, as this gas is a product of biomass burning. The precipitation patterns during the two years of the study varied considerably: 2010 was extremely dry, while 2011 was very wet. In 2010, the team found that two processes made the Amazon Basin a net source of carbon for the atmosphere. This was caused by the smoke from fires (which are severe during droughts) exhaling large quantities of carbon. The data gathered from the ground also showed that the drought-stressed vegetation was photosynthesising relatively slowly compared to years of normal moisture, decreasing the amount of carbon that is usually inhaled. In contrast, 2011 had fewer fires and relatively strong plant growth, which meant that less carbon dioxide was sent into the atmosphere and more was absorbed by growing plants. However, the region did not take up and store more carbon than it sent into the atmosphere. Rather, the Amazon was carbon-neutral, neither adding nor removing carbon from the atmosphere. Amazonia is changing. We are observing more very wet years and more very dry years, said Dr John Miller, from NOAAs Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder and co-lead on the research paper. If these trends continue, the region may become a net source of carbon to the atmosphere, moving carbon embedded in ecosystems into greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The team will continue the aircraft-based measurements over the Amazon Basin. We need to understand how sensitive these ecosystems are to climate change, and the potential for feedbacks that could further affect our climate, said Dr Luciana Gatti, from IPEN, Sao Paulo, Brazil, who co-lead on the research paper. A longer-term effort will be needed to fully understand the future carbon balance of the region.

As the climate changes, the Amazon Basin may release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than it absorbs, according to a new study published in the journal Nature. An international team of scientists, co-led by Professor Emanuel Gloor from the University of Leeds, found that during a dry year the Amazon Basins ecosystems exhaled more carbon dioxide (through vegetation fires) than it inhaled (through photosynthesis). During a wet year, the region was carbon neutral, with roughly equal amounts of carbon dioxide exhaled to the atmosphere and inhaled into ecosystems. We know that the Amazon undergoes a warming trend similar to the rest of the globe. There is also an increase in both droughts and severe floods. It is unclear how the Amazon forests will change in the future, said Professor Gloor, one of three lead authors on the new paper. For the first time we have observed the Basin-wide carbon balance during a very dry and a wet year, which gives us an indication of what changes to expect. Until now, scientists have found it difficult to measure the carbon balance of Amazonia at the appropriate scale. Global observations of carbon dioxide concentration are unable to focus on tropical continental regions, and field studies in the Amazon rainforest struggle to scale up to the entire forest biome. In the new study, precise airborne measurements of carbon dioxide were taken in 2010 and 2011 at multiple sites across Amazonia using aircraft that was outfitted with finely tuned instruments. This data was complemented with ground-based monitoring of the carbon dynamics at a large number of sites across Amazonia, coordinated by researchers at the University of Oxford. Measurements of carbon monoxide were also taken in order to separate fire-related carbon emissions from those associated with plant growth and soil processes, as this gas is a product of biomass burning. The precipitation patterns during the two years of the study varied considerably: 2010 was extremely dry, while 2011 was very wet. In 2010, the team found that two processes made the Amazon Basin a net source of carbon for the atmosphere. This was caused by the smoke from fires (which are severe during droughts) exhaling large quantities of carbon. The data gathered from the ground also showed that the drought-stressed vegetation was photosynthesising relatively slowly compared to years of normal moisture, decreasing the amount of carbon that is usually inhaled. In contrast, 2011 had fewer fires and relatively strong plant growth, which meant that less carbon dioxide was sent into the atmosphere and more was absorbed by growing plants. However, the region did not take up and store more carbon than it sent into the atmosphere. Rather, the Amazon was carbon-neutral, neither adding nor removing carbon from the atmosphere. Amazonia is changing. We are observing more very wet years and more very dry years, said Dr John Miller, from NOAAs Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder and co-lead on the research paper. If these trends continue, the region may become a net source of carbon to the atmosphere, moving carbon embedded in ecosystems into greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The team will continue the aircraft-based measurements over the Amazon Basin. We need to understand how sensitive these ecosystems are to climate change, and the potential for feedbacks that could further affect our climate, said Dr Luciana Gatti, from IPEN, Sao Paulo, Brazil, who co-lead on the research paper. A longer-term effort will be needed to fully understand the future carbon balance of the region. This research was primarily financed by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the State of Sao Paulo Science Foundation.

In 2010, the team found that two processes made the Amazon Basin a net source of carbon for the atmosphere. This was caused by the smoke from fires (which are severe during droughts) exhaling large quantities of carbon. The data gathered from the ground also showed that the drought-stressed vegetation was photosynthesising relatively slowly compared to years of normal moisture, decreasing the amount of carbon that is usually inhaled. In contrast, 2011 had fewer fires and relatively strong plant growth, which meant that less carbon dioxide was sent into the atmosphere and more was absorbed by growing plants. However, the region did not take up and store more carbon than it sent into the atmosphere. Rather, the Amazon was carbon-neutral, neither adding nor removing carbon from the atmosphere. Amazonia is changing. We are observing more very wet years and more very dry years, said Dr John Miller, from NOAAs Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder and co-lead on the research paper. If these trends continue, the region may become a net source of carbon to the atmosphere, moving carbon embedded in ecosystems into greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The team will continue the aircraft-based measurements over the Amazon Basin. We need to understand how sensitive these ecosystems are to climate change, and the potential for feedbacks that could further affect our climate, said Dr Luciana Gatti, from IPEN, Sao Paulo, Brazil, who co-lead on the research paper. A longer-term effort will be needed to fully understand the future carbon balance of the region. This research was primarily financed by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the State of Sao Paulo Science Foundation.

This was caused by the smoke from fires (which are severe during droughts) exhaling large quantities of carbon.

As the climate changes, the Amazon Basin may release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than it absorbs, according to a new study published in the journal Nature. An international team of scientists, co-led by Professor Emanuel Gloor from the University of Leeds, found that during a dry year the Amazon Basins ecosystems exhaled more carbon dioxide (through vegetation fires) than it inhaled (through photosynthesis). During a wet year, the region was carbon neutral, with roughly equal amounts of carbon dioxide exhaled to the atmosphere and inhaled into ecosystems. We know that the Amazon undergoes a warming trend similar to the rest of the globe. There is also an increase in both droughts and severe floods. It is unclear how the Amazon forests will change in the future, said Professor Gloor, one of three lead authors on the new paper. For the first time we have observed the Basin-wide carbon balance during a very dry and a wet year, which gives us an indication of what changes to expect. Until now, scientists have found it difficult to measure the carbon balance of Amazonia at the appropriate scale. Global observations of carbon dioxide concentration are unable to focus on tropical continental regions, and field studies in the Amazon rainforest struggle to scale up to the entire forest biome. In the new study, precise airborne measurements of carbon dioxide were taken in 2010 and 2011 at multiple sites across Amazonia using aircraft that was outfitted with finely tuned instruments. This data was complemented with ground-based monitoring of the carbon dynamics at a large number of sites across Amazonia, coordinated by researchers at the University of Oxford. Measurements of carbon monoxide were also taken in order to separate fire-related carbon emissions from those associated with plant growth and soil processes, as this gas is a product of biomass burning.

If these trends continue, the region may become a net source of carbon to the atmosphere, moving carbon embedded in ecosystems into greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

As the climate changes, the Amazon Basin may release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than it absorbs, according to a new study published in the journal Nature. An international team of scientists, co-led by Professor Emanuel Gloor from the University of Leeds, found that during a dry year the Amazon Basins ecosystems exhaled more carbon dioxide (through vegetation fires) than it inhaled (through photosynthesis). During a wet year, the region was carbon neutral, with roughly equal amounts of carbon dioxide exhaled to the atmosphere and inhaled into ecosystems. We know that the Amazon undergoes a warming trend similar to the rest of the globe. There is also an increase in both droughts and severe floods. It is unclear how the Amazon forests will change in the future, said Professor Gloor, one of three lead authors on the new paper. For the first time we have observed the Basin-wide carbon balance during a very dry and a wet year, which gives us an indication of what changes to expect. Until now, scientists have found it difficult to measure the carbon balance of Amazonia at the appropriate scale. Global observations of carbon dioxide concentration are unable to focus on tropical continental regions, and field studies in the Amazon rainforest struggle to scale up to the entire forest biome. In the new study, precise airborne measurements of carbon dioxide were taken in 2010 and 2011 at multiple sites across Amazonia using aircraft that was outfitted with finely tuned instruments. This data was complemented with ground-based monitoring of the carbon dynamics at a large number of sites across Amazonia, coordinated by researchers at the University of Oxford. Measurements of carbon monoxide were also taken in order to separate fire-related carbon emissions from those associated with plant growth and soil processes, as this gas is a product of biomass burning. The precipitation patterns during the two years of the study varied considerably: 2010 was extremely dry, while 2011 was very wet. In 2010, the team found that two processes made the Amazon Basin a net source of carbon for the atmosphere. This was caused by the smoke from fires (which are severe during droughts) exhaling large quantities of carbon. The data gathered from the ground also showed that the drought-stressed vegetation was photosynthesising relatively slowly compared to years of normal moisture, decreasing the amount of carbon that is usually inhaled. In contrast, 2011 had fewer fires and relatively strong plant growth, which meant that less carbon dioxide was sent into the atmosphere and more was absorbed by growing plants. However, the region did not take up and store more carbon than it sent into the atmosphere. Rather, the Amazon was carbon-neutral, neither adding nor removing carbon from the atmosphere. Amazonia is changing. We are observing more very wet years and more very dry years, said Dr John Miller, from NOAAs Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder and co-lead on the research paper. If these trends continue, the region may become a net source of carbon to the atmosphere, moving carbon embedded in ecosystems into greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The team will continue the aircraft-based measurements over the Amazon Basin. We need to understand how sensitive these ecosystems are to climate change, and the potential for feedbacks that could further affect our climate, said Dr Luciana Gatti, from IPEN, Sao Paulo, Brazil, who co-lead on the research paper. A longer-term effort will be needed to fully understand the future carbon balance of the region.

The research paper, Drought sensitivity of Amazonian carbon balance revealed by atmospheric measurements, was published in the journal Nature on 6 February.

As the climate changes, the Amazon Basin may release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than it absorbs, according to a new study published in the journal Nature. An international team of scientists, co-led by Professor Emanuel Gloor from the University of Leeds, found that during a dry year the Amazon Basins ecosystems exhaled more carbon dioxide (through vegetation fires) than it inhaled (through photosynthesis). During a wet year, the region was carbon neutral, with roughly equal amounts of carbon dioxide exhaled to the atmosphere and inhaled into ecosystems. We know that the Amazon undergoes a warming trend similar to the rest of the globe. There is also an increase in both droughts and severe floods. It is unclear how the Amazon forests will change in the future, said Professor Gloor, one of three lead authors on the new paper. For the first time we have observed the Basin-wide carbon balance during a very dry and a wet year, which gives us an indication of what changes to expect. Until now, scientists have found it difficult to measure the carbon balance of Amazonia at the appropriate scale. Global observations of carbon dioxide concentration are unable to focus on tropical continental regions, and field studies in the Amazon rainforest struggle to scale up to the entire forest biome. In the new study, precise airborne measurements of carbon dioxide were taken in 2010 and 2011 at multiple sites across Amazonia using aircraft that was outfitted with finely tuned instruments. This data was complemented with ground-based monitoring of the carbon dynamics at a large number of sites across Amazonia, coordinated by researchers at the University of Oxford. Measurements of carbon monoxide were also taken in order to separate fire-related carbon emissions from those associated with plant growth and soil processes, as this gas is a product of biomass burning. The precipitation patterns during the two years of the study varied considerably: 2010 was extremely dry, while 2011 was very wet. In 2010, the team found that two processes made the Amazon Basin a net source of carbon for the atmosphere. This was caused by the smoke from fires (which are severe during droughts) exhaling large quantities of carbon. The data gathered from the ground also showed that the drought-stressed vegetation was photosynthesising relatively slowly compared to years of normal moisture, decreasing the amount of carbon that is usually inhaled. In contrast, 2011 had fewer fires and relatively strong plant growth, which meant that less carbon dioxide was sent into the atmosphere and more was absorbed by growing plants. However, the region did not take up and store more carbon than it sent into the atmosphere. Rather, the Amazon was carbon-neutral, neither adding nor removing carbon from the atmosphere. Amazonia is changing. We are observing more very wet years and more very dry years, said Dr John Miller, from NOAAs Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder and co-lead on the research paper. If these trends continue, the region may become a net source of carbon to the atmosphere, moving carbon embedded in ecosystems into greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The team will continue the aircraft-based measurements over the Amazon Basin. We need to understand how sensitive these ecosystems are to climate change, and the potential for feedbacks that could further affect our climate, said Dr Luciana Gatti, from IPEN, Sao Paulo, Brazil, who co-lead on the research paper. A longer-term effort will be needed to fully understand the future carbon balance of the region. This research was primarily financed by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the State of Sao Paulo Science Foundation.

The every-day life of a person with albinism in Africa is too often characterized by loneliness, poverty and rejection. Children with albinism are stigmatized by their peers. They are often stared at and made fun of. Many husbands desert their wives when they give birth to a child with albinism because of the stigma that comes with this genetic condition. The parent's superstitions may lead them to completely abandon or even kill their newborns. Well-meaning but fearful parents may lock away their children with albinism, isolating them from making friends, going to school and living a normal childhood. For those who do go to school, low-vision leads to high dropout rates. Adults with albinism are shunned and passed over for jobs. Poverty is rampant. In Tanzania, people with albinism are called zeru zeru, meaning “ghosts.” It is assumed by some that these “ghosts” bleed a different colour, or even that they are immortal. These dangerous beliefs incite the brutal attacks against people with albinism. A baby born with albinism may be considered a curse and be killed. Witchdoctors take advantage of the ignorance and superstitions, fuelling beliefs that people with albinism possess magical qualities. They spread the lie that the body parts of people with albinism used in charms and potions bring wealth, power and good luck. Since 2006, more than 620 attacks on people with albinism in 30 countries have been recorded. At more than 200 incidents, Tanzania has the largest recorded number of attacks. There is a black market for body parts, hair and skin used by witchdoctors in potions and charms. The nature of attacks can range from maiming, to death, to desecrating a grave. Young Miriam was killed in her home while she slept. Her 8-year old brother Manyasi watched in horror from under the bed. 15-year old Pendo lost her right arm in an attack by 3 men with machetes while having supper with her family. Baby Yohana was taken after assailants slashed his mother’s face, and ripped him from her arms. His dismembered body was found 2 days later. 28 year old Mariamu was betrayed by her neighbour in an attack that cost her both arms and her unborn baby's life. Paul’s grave was robbed 3 years after his death of skin cancer at age 21. There is an increased demand for body parts of people with albinism in the lead-up to elections when people running for office – people who are wealthy and educated – may turn to witch doctors for good luck potions. The people who harvest the parts are usually impoverished and willing to do something dreadful simply to make a bit of money. These criminals can gain up to $75,000 U.S. for the sale of a whole body according to the U.N. Few attackers and witchdoctors have been brought to trial, let alone convicted. Not one buyer in this macabre trade has ever been prosecuted. Albinism affects the structure and pigmentation of the eye, causing visual impairment ranging from mild to severe. Many people with albinism are legally blind. All have extreme sensitivity to light. People with albinism are much more susceptible to skin cancer because the lack of melanin in their skin leaves them unprotected from the sun. Most children with albinism as young as 10 in sub-Saharan Africa have some form of early-stage skin cancer and only 2% live beyond age 40. Many are not aware of the danger from the sun and how to protect themselves. They may also not have access to sunscreen. The life-sized metal statue, made by Tanzanian artists with disabilities, looks to the future. The statue depicts a pigmented father holding his child with albinism on his shoulders while a pigmented mother puts a wide brimmed hat on the child’s head to protect him from the sun. It portrays an integrated family living a normal life, anticipating the day when people with albinism in Tanzania will live normal lives, free of the deadly discrimination that haunts them today. As a memorial, the names of those who have been attacked are etched around it.

Well-meaning but fearful parents may lock away their children with albinism, isolating them from making friends, going to school and living a normal childhood.

The every-day life of a person with albinism in Africa is too often characterized by loneliness, poverty and rejection. Children with albinism are stigmatized by their peers. They are often stared at and made fun of. Many husbands desert their wives when they give birth to a child with albinism because of the stigma that comes with this genetic condition. The parent's superstitions may lead them to completely abandon or even kill their newborns. Well-meaning but fearful parents may lock away their children with albinism, isolating them from making friends, going to school and living a normal childhood. For those who do go to school, low-vision leads to high dropout rates. Adults with albinism are shunned and passed over for jobs. Poverty is rampant. In Tanzania, people with albinism are called zeru zeru, meaning “ghosts.” It is assumed by some that these “ghosts” bleed a different colour, or even that they are immortal. These dangerous beliefs incite the brutal attacks against people with albinism. A baby born with albinism may be considered a curse and be killed. Witchdoctors take advantage of the ignorance and superstitions, fuelling beliefs that people with albinism possess magical qualities. They spread the lie that the body parts of people with albinism used in charms and potions bring wealth, power and good luck. Since 2006, more than 620 attacks on people with albinism in 30 countries have been recorded. At more than 200 incidents, Tanzania has the largest recorded number of attacks. There is a black market for body parts, hair and skin used by witchdoctors in potions and charms. The nature of attacks can range from maiming, to death, to desecrating a grave. Young Miriam was killed in her home while she slept. Her 8-year old brother Manyasi watched in horror from under the bed. 15-year old Pendo lost her right arm in an attack by 3 men with machetes while having supper with her family. Baby Yohana was taken after assailants slashed his mother’s face, and ripped him from her arms. His dismembered body was found 2 days later. 28 year old Mariamu was betrayed by her neighbour in an attack that cost her both arms and her unborn baby's life. Paul’s grave was robbed 3 years after his death of skin cancer at age 21. There is an increased demand for body parts of people with albinism in the lead-up to elections when people running for office – people who are wealthy and educated – may turn to witch doctors for good luck potions. The people who harvest the parts are usually impoverished and willing to do something dreadful simply to make a bit of money. These criminals can gain up to $75,000 U.S. for the sale of a whole body according to the U.N. Few attackers and witchdoctors have been brought to trial, let alone convicted. Not one buyer in this macabre trade has ever been prosecuted. Albinism affects the structure and pigmentation of the eye, causing visual impairment ranging from mild to severe. Many people with albinism are legally blind. All have extreme sensitivity to light. People with albinism are much more susceptible to skin cancer because the lack of melanin in their skin leaves them unprotected from the sun. Most children with albinism as young as 10 in sub-Saharan Africa have some form of early-stage skin cancer and only 2% live beyond age 40. Many are not aware of the danger from the sun and how to protect themselves. They may also not have access to sunscreen. The life-sized metal statue, made by Tanzanian artists with disabilities, looks to the future. The statue depicts a pigmented father holding his child with albinism on his shoulders while a pigmented mother puts a wide brimmed hat on the child’s head to protect him from the sun. It portrays an integrated family living a normal life, anticipating the day when people with albinism in Tanzania will live normal lives, free of the deadly discrimination that haunts them today. As a memorial, the names of those who have been attacked are etched around it.
