A brief essay about St. Louis' notorious eminent domain history--

--along with 2 recent St. Louis Post-Dispatch articles about "urban renewal" projects that are scheduled to reoccupy the Mill Flats area, which hosted the most notorious episode of displacement of African-American communities: the Chouteau Greenway project (will it serve or displace low-income St. Louisans?); and SLU's Mill Creek Flats high-rise project, which certainly will, and whose name seems to me an especially tone-deaf if gutsy move...

Three points I followed up on to advance my understanding of emergency response was how other countries report and treat rape, rape as a war crime- is it treated or ignored and in what countries, and incidents of sexual violence that get reported and treated, and further care ( how to help others immediately) and how to respond to these events.

The aim of the program is to provide training and education in order to build and sustain nuclear programs as well as to respond to disaster. The prgoram offers hands on workshops in a variety of scopes. This is accomplished through the IEC the emergency and incident centre that provides programs for anyone who could be exposed to radition- medical personel, first responders, radiological assessors, etc.
