Letter re: prisoner of war
No full textLetter from Richard H. and Bessie Torrence Sr. to Amon Carter regarding the death of their son, prisoner of war Capt. Richard H. Torrence, Jr. Also enclosed are letter from Charles H. "Hal" Jones, Jr. and Col. Thomas D. Drake to the Torrences about the death of their son.Waco, Texas. July 8, 1944. Mr. Amon Carter. Ft. Worth, Texas. Dear Mr. Carter: I have been intending to mail you these letters concerning the death of our son Capt. Richard Torrence but we have been so hurt I am a little late in doing these things. I'm sure you will understand. We sincerely appreciate your help and sympathy and feel that all we can do is to accept these letters as the whole truth but back in our hearts there will be a doubt until we can see and talk to some of the boys there. Our other boy has received the purple heart which he mailed home. He is now on a limited service, due to a permanent knee injury somewhere in Italy. I sincerely hope your boy is well and that your hearing from him regularly. Best wishes from Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Torrence 2211 Barnard Waco Texas

Importance of soure availability and accessibility: a case study from Papua New Guinea
No full textThe study of ancient trade and exchange would benefit from detailed analyses conducted at the level of the individual obsidian exposures. A useful method is to evaluate the null hypothesis thai all potential sources were equally favourable to those who exploited, exchanged, and used the obsidian Before deviations from the null hypothesis can be inferred as social behaviour, the physical characteristics of the obsidian exposures and their history in time and space should he studied. These points are illustrated by a case study from Papua New Guinea where volcanic activity during the time of occupa tion radically altered the availability and accessibility of obsidian sources. Having accounted for environmental factors, changes in the abundance of obsidian from various chemical groups is interpreted in terms of a highly flexible system of exchange that may have been adopted lo help cope with the high risks created by volcanic activity

Methods and processes of developing the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology - Veterinary (STROBE-Vet) Statement
No full textAbstractBackgroundThe reporting of observational studies in veterinary research presents many challenges that often are not adequately addressed in published reporting guidelines.ObjectiveTo develop an extension of the STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) statement that addresses unique reporting requirements for observational studies in veterinary medicine related to health, production, welfare, and food safety.DesignA consensus meeting of experts was organized to develop an extension of the STROBE statement to address observational studies in veterinary medicine with respect to animal health, animal production, animal welfare, and food safety outcomes.SettingConsensus meeting May 11–13, 2014 in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.ParticipantsSeventeen experts from North America, Europe, and Australia attended the meeting. The experts were epidemiologists and biostatisticians, many of whom hold or have held editorial positions with relevant journals.MethodsPrior to the meeting, 19 experts completed a survey about whether they felt any of the 22 items of the STROBE statement should be modified and if items should be added to address unique issues related to observational studies in animal species with health, production, welfare, or food safety outcomes. At the meeting, the participants were provided with the survey responses and relevant literature concerning the reporting of veterinary observational studies. During the meeting, each STROBE item was discussed to determine whether or not re-wording was recommended, and whether additions were warranted. Anonymous voting was used to determine whether there was consensus for each item change or addition.ResultsThe consensus was that six items needed no modifications or additions. Modifications or additions were made to the STROBE items numbered: 1 (title and abstract), 3 (objectives), 5 (setting), 6 (participants), 7 (variables), 8 (data sources/measurement), 9 (bias), 10 (study size), 12 (statistical methods), 13 (participants), 14 (descriptive data), 15 (outcome data), 16 (main results), 17 (other analyses), 19 (limitations), and 22 (funding).LimitationPublished literature was not always available to support modification to, or inclusion of, an item.ConclusionThe methods and processes used in the development of this statement were similar to those used for other extensions of the STROBE statement. The use of this extension to the STROBE statement should improve the reporting of observational studies in veterinary research related to animal health, production, welfare, or food safety outcomes by recognizing the unique features of observational studies involving food-producing and companion animals, products of animal origin, aquaculture, and wildlife
