Dogs, bugs and Christmas
turkey
 How much do we think
about the hygiene of our close animal companions? Most of us would worry
if we were unable to bathe daily but we think nothing of having a pet in
the house that is probably not bathed from one year to another. We
willingly share our environment with these walking, furry, reservoirs of
bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites and yet direct contact with animals
as a source of zoonotic disease goes unrecognized by the general public and
largely underestimated by public health authorities.

European Project Managers'
Association
 The European Community
Project Managers’ Association was established in
early 2006 as a forum for Project Managers to exchange information
and
share experiences of issues and challenges relating to co-ordinating
and managing FP6 projects. Through the Association, Project Managers
can share their knowledge and expertise to tackle issues that
continually arise in these projects. Association members are
individuals who are active in the day-to-day project management
within
the context of co-ordinating European Framework Programme projects.
The
Association is based in the UK and welcomes members from other
countries to join and attend its meetings. The Association meets
three
times per year in locations close to London.
