School board cancels blood drive
MONTREAL - Quebec's largest school board has voted to cancel Hema Quebec's annual blood drive at its Montreal offices and will remain in effect until the blood agency changes its policy of excluding gay male donors.


The proposition was put forward by the vice-president of the Montreal school commission, Paul Trottier, who is barred from donating blood because he's gay.

Hema Quebec's questionnaire screens out
male donors who have had sex at least once with a man since 1977.

Trottier said the introduction of advanced screening methods makes the policy outdated, discriminatory, and perpetuates a false impre
ssion among youth that it is sexual orientation rather than sexual behaviour that's
risky.

The vote to cancel the event at the Montreal school commission was unanimous.

But David Page, the blood safety coordinator for the Canadian Hemophilia Society, said the school board hasn't done its homework, explaining that the policy has nothing to do with discrimination and everything to do with safety.

"It's because of particular risk activitymen having sex with men," said Page. "Or a person using IV drugs. Or person receiving blood products that makes that individual more at risk for transmitting infection."

He also said that Health Canada decides what goes on the questionnaire, not Hema Quebec.

Hema Quebec said it's asked Health Canada to loo
sen the restriction and allow gay men who've refrained from sex for a year to donate blood.

Six major German tribes, the Visigoths, the Ostrogoths,

the Vandals, the Burgundians, the Lombards,

and the Franks participated in the fragmentation

and the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.

The Vandals were actually two tribes,

the Asding and the Siling Vandals.

Several other tribes were also involved,

the Alans and the Suevi in particular,

though the Alans were an Irania
steppe people,
not Germans.

The six major tribes, however, founded significant kingdoms.

All of them disappeared except one, the Franks,
who gave their name to Western Europe in lan
guages like Arabic.

The diagram illustrates the fate of the kingdoms,

two overthrown by the Franks, two by Romania, and one by IslÃÆ’ ÃƒÆ’”�Å¡¢m.

The parts
of Italy preserved from the Lombards by the Romans later,
of course, fell to the Franks too

(it then ceded to the Pope);

and North Africa, retrieved by the Romans from the Vandals,
then went to IslÃÆ’ ÃƒÆ’”�Å¡¢m.

The Frankish kingdom breaks up into the elements of

Mediaeval European history.

Although Burgundy and Lorraine are now gone as such,

Switzerland and Monaco are Modern pieces of the former,

and the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg
are Modern pieces of the latter.

Besides the German tribes that entered and conquered
or damaged the Western Roman Empire,
there we
re the tribes that remained back in Germany proper.

These were the Saxons, the Alemanni, the Thuringians, and the Rugians.

When the Rugians were destroyed by Odoacer in 487,
a new co
nfederation of Germans formed in their place,
the Bavarians.

All these tribes in Germany were eventually subjugated by the Franks,
the Alemanni in 496 and 505, the Thuringians in 531,
the Bavarians at som
e point after 553,
and then finally the Saxons by 804.

When Germany eventually separated as East Francia,
the old tribal areas assumed new identities as the Stem Duchies.
