UK MHRM Self-Study Guide and Wiki
By William Collins [aka MRA-UK]: This post is partly to advertise a new site, snappily named mhrm.uk.
The new site is a Wiki, not a blog (despite looking like a blog).
The intention is to provide a repository of factual information relevant to the MHRM in the UK. The use of a Wiki platform is to enable multiple contributors and hence, ultimately, an integration of knowledge in different people’s heads. Readers of this blog will need no explanation for why Wikipedia is not fulfilling this role. Authoring/editing rights will therefore be controlled (see the site).
Data in particular requires constant updating and this would be impossibly burdensome for one individual. The hope is that having sufficient editors will facilitate keeping data up to date.
The aim is that the site should out-grow, and become independent of, me. However, I plan to put in a substantial amount of material prior to throwing the site open to a few hand-picked individuals – probably in late 2016. Thereafter the number of authors/editors will expand, I hope. Meanwhile, feel free to read/use it, as the content increases.
The second purpose of this post is to advertise some content already in mhrm.uk. Most of Education has already appeared on this blog, but there are substantial parts of The UK Way Of Death that have not. Take a look.
The topics covered in the latter are,- Comparative Longevity and Excess Male Deaths
- Homicide
- Killing Children
- Cancer
- Heart Attacks / Coronary Disease
- HIV
- War Deaths
- Suicide
- Alcohol and drug deaths
- Post-Divorce Deaths
- Workplace Fatalities
- Who are the carers?
- Elective sterilisation
- Health Care and Research Spend
- Why The Excess Male Deaths?
