BERLIN — Heinz Smital was a 24-year-old nuclear physics researcher when he first saw how far nuclear contamination could spread after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. A few days after it occurred he waved a damp cloth out of a window at the University of Vienna to sample the city's air and was shocked by how many radionuclides could be seen under a microscope. 'Technetium, Cobalt, Cesium 134, Cesium 137 …Chernobyl was 1,000 kilometres away … That made an impression,' Smital, now 61, said as he told Reuters about his life-long activism against nuclear power in Germany.

Breastfeeding for six months or more appears to reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems developing in mothers for at least three years after delivery, a new South Australian study has found. The surprising cardio-metabolic benefit for maternal health is particularly important for women who experienced a complicated pregnancy, which can increase their chance of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. The new results – published this month in the International Breastfeeding Journal by experts from the University of Adelaide and Flinders University – stem from a long-running study of 160 breastfeeding mothers who took part in followup health checks after delivery of their babies.

Anyone lucky enough to be acquainted with the music of The Dubliners will be aware of the fact that there's a song in the repertoire entitled 'Salonika.' It's a jovial tune that unveils a socio-historical event of far-reaching proportions. The first verse sets the stage for an inquiry that exceeds the scope of this article but I'll do my best to convey the richness and audacity of the song. The first verse— My husband's in Salonika; I wonder if he's dead. I wonder if he knows he's got a kid with a foxy head —forges a connection between Ireland and Greece, evokes the tragedy of WWI , touches upon the economic realities of the previous century, and hints at the sexual politics of our (great?) grandmothers.
