The Ark of Zoe
- The president of the Ark of Zoe, Eric Breteau, maintains in a book that the Elysée and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knew from his July 2007 draft exfiltrer children described as orphans Darfur, for which they even expressed "interest".
According to his story "The Ark of Zoe, below the case of States", to be published Friday, Eric Breteau met at the Quai d'Orsay on July 4 Laurent Contini, an adviser to Bernard Kouchner, who assured him that the minister considered the project "politically interesting" because that could revive its own action at the UN in favour of an operation to support the people of this Sudanese province ravaged by a civil war. The advisor referred to the risk of a hostile reaction from Khartoum but concludes the interview by explaining that "it would not oppose the project and to ensure a" benevolent passivity, "said Eric Breteau. In the same day, the latter written thank Laurent Contini-that he calls her by name-for his "excellent reception", according to a copy of the letter presented in the appendix. Bernard Kouchner had said in early April that his ministry was considering prosecution after called into question raised by Eric Breteau in the media. In his book, the president of the Ark of Zoé also evokes a role played by "the assistant Catherine Pégard", a close adviser to Nicolas Sarkozy, which he said he had explained the project in mid-July during a dinner, and who, according to him, said he was "convinced of its merits." The "contact élyséen" (never named) suggests "putting Cécilia Sarkozy on the front of the stage", considering his presence at the arrival of children on the french soil. On 8 April, had denied the Elysée qu'Eric Breteau could have "any contact" with "Catherine Pégard, advisor to the President of the Republic".
mall children with a dog at home would be less likely to develop later respiratory allergies, according to a German study to be published in the May issue of European Journal of chest
For years, the question of benefit in terms of protection against allergies, contact with a pet-haired (dog or cat) from the earliest age, is regularly raised, but the studies have been able to make a definitive answer . Joachim Heinrich (Helmholtz Zentrum, Munich) and his team have followed from birth to 6 years some 9,000 children already included in two cohorts German research on allergies. Parents have been subjected to comprehensive questionnaires, while blood tests have been performed in more than 3,000 children to seek specific antibodies of an "allergic sensitization." The "awareness" is an immune response, distinct from an allergy declared. The researchers found that possession of a dog during early childhood was not related "to a specific awareness hair dogs". However, "the presence of a dog at home was clearly associated with a rate significantly lower awareness pollens and allergies inhaled." The protective effect was not seen among children in regular contact with dogs, but who did not among them. The researchers did not find either of correlation between the fact of owning a dog (a family of ten) or to rub regularly and development of diseases or allergic symptoms (asthma, eczema, allergic rhinitis). Should we recommend to parents to buy a dog 'Researchers believe it is too early to draw that conclusion, insofar as they have not established a clear mechanism that would explain their results . According to Joachim Heinrich, protection could be indirect, including a high exposure of small dog owners to a number of germs that their four-legged companions harvest outside and carry on their hair. The early exposure to multiple infectious agents could stimulate the maturation of the immune system. To check whether this beneficial effect on awareness of respiratory allergens is maintained over time, researchers have provided new analyses when children included in the study have reached the age of 10.
