World in Stereo: Sorry Bamba's Volume One 1970-1979
World in Stereo examines classic and modern world music while striving for a greater appreciation of other cultures.
Sorry Bamba: Volume One 1970-1979 (Thrill Jockey, 6/19/11)
Sorry Bamba: "Porry"
[audio:http://alarm-magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/07-Porry.mp3|titles=Sorry Bamba: "Porry"]
Thrill Jockey continues its foray into the world-music scene with a collection of tunes from one of West Africa's forgotten figures, Sorry Bamba. A father figure to the many musicians who came after him but somewhat unknown outside of Africa, Bamba's music is another testament to the never-ending investigation of Mali's rich musical history.
Born in Mopti, a city resting between Timbuktu and Ségou, Bamba plays a confluence of styles that stem from the region's folk traditions. He's best known for his powerful sing-talk vocals that can withstand the grittiest Afro-funk, electric instrumentation.
But this compilation, covering a mere decade of the artist's half-century-long career, is more than '70s Afro-funk. Bamba's career in the '70s was at a crossroads, a time characterized by Mali's independence from France a decade earlier. While the country promoted modernization and celebration of Malian culture, Radio Mali sought for a push of musical heritage. Bamba was one of the artists at the forefront as the band leader for the Regional Orchestra of Mopti. In addition to funky fuzz, the collection shows hints of Malian blues, American soul, and Latin rhythms among Bamba's take on regional sounds, most particularly the folkloric songs of the nearby Dogon people.


My understanding of this study – cholesterol plays a critical role in regulating insulin secretion. Mucking with cholesterol at the cellular level could possibly lead to diabetes.
Inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis impairs insulin secretion and voltage-gated calcium channel function in pancreatic beta-cells.

Insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells is mediated by the opening of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (CaV) and exocytosis of insulin dense core vesicles facilitated by the secretory soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor protein machinery. We previously observed that beta-cell exocytosis is sensitive to the acute removal of membrane cholesterol. However, less is known about the chronic changes in endogenous cholesterol and its biosynthesis in regulating beta-cell stimulus-secretion coupling. We examined the effects of inhibiting endogenous beta-cell cholesterol biosynthesis by using the squalene epoxidase inhibitor, NB598. The expression of squalene epoxidase in primary and clonal beta-cells was confirmed by RT-PCR. Cholesterol reduction of 36-52% was observed in MIN6 cells, mouse and human pancreatic islets after a 48-h incubation with 10 mum NB598. A similar reduction in cholesterol was observed in the subcellular compartments of MIN6 cells. We found NB598 significantly inhibited both basal and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from mouse pancreatic islets. CaV channels were markedly inhibited by NB598. Rapid photolytic release of intracellular caged Ca2+ and simultaneous measurements of the changes in membrane capacitance revealed that NB598 also inhibited exocytosis independently from CaV channels. These effects were reversed by cholesterol repletion. Our results indicate that endogenous cholesterol in pancreatic beta-cells plays a critical role in regulating insulin secretion. Moreover, chronic inhibition of cholesterolbiosynthesis regulates the functional activity of CaV channels and insulin secretory granule mobilization and membrane fusion. Dysregulation of cellular cholesterol may cause impairment of beta-cell function, a possible pathogenesis leading to the development of type 2 diabetes.

Weddings are a special time in anyones life, summer weddings are the most popular however, we are seeing a dramatic increase in winter weddings. There is something magical about all that snow on the ground and in the trees. At McMaster Photographers, we are always delighted to participate in a winter wedding.
McMaster Photographers is pleased to announce that after weeks of waiting the renovations to both our website and studio are finally completed!! Come and check out our new backgrounds and take a boo at our website.


Rachel Van Voorhees, the Principal Harpist of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, enjoys a unique career as soloist, recitalist, chamber and orchestral musician. An artist of great versatility, she is as comfortable performing with orchestra as she is playing Celtic music or taking a solo with the jazz group, Diversity, which she co-founded with Charles Neville. She studied at the Juilliard School; Purchase College; the Conservatoire in Fontainebleau, France; and has a Masters degree from Yale University, where she was awarded the Harriet Gibbs Fox Award for highest scholastic average. Ms. Van Voorhees studied the harp with Marcel Grandjany and theory with Nadia Boulanger.
This past year Ms. Van Voorhees has given solo recitals for the International Harp Recital Series in Salt Lake City and for the American Harp Society Chicago Chapter at Lyon and Healy Recital Hall. She has performed orchestral concerts with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Detroit Symphony, the St. Louis Symphony, the Utah Symphony and the Tulsa Symphony. She appeared as soloist with the St. Louis Symphony performing the Martin Symphonie Concertante for Harp, Harpsichord, Piano and Orchestra as well as several recitals with violinist Gregory Fulkerson including their most recent performance at Loyola University.
Ms. Van Voorhees is on the faculty of Loyola University and teaches privately. Additionally, she is the Solo Harpist at the Windsor Court Hotel, and during the summer months, harpist of the Grand Teton Music Festival.
She has been the recipient of numerous awards, including fellowships at Tanglewood; Chautauqua; Spoleto, Italy; the Walter Damrosch Fellowship; the Louisiana Artist Fellowship; the Contemporary Arts Center's Sweet Arts Award; and ten grants from the Louisiana Decentralized Arts Funding Program. In the last few years she has performed over 80 concerts for the Orleans Parish School Board Elementary Cultural Resources Assembly Series, as well as hundreds of concerts for Orleans Parish school children. This past year she and Lou Anne Neill, the Principal Harpist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, co-founded the Harp in Our Public Schools Program in Los Angeles in partnership with the Young Musicians Foundation. Sixty third and fourth graders are now studying the harp.
She has recorded eight CDs, which are available both on Amazon.com and her website, www.RachelHarp.com. Her recordings are frequently played on NPR affiliates around the country. As a soloist, she has appeared on NPR Television and National Public Radio.

A Mexican adventure for Katherine + Bryan's wedding at the secluded Los Caletas. The weather, the venue, and everything was just perfect. We joined the girls on location bright and early (as its a boat in location) and spent the morning lounging around the beautiful location. The ceremony, and reception were held on the beach, before the whole crew boated home late in the evening.


The iControlPad was one of the first iPhone-compatible game controllers to hit the market. It was a bit bulky, and didn't garner much developer support. But nevertheless, it was a pioneer.
The group says that the inspiration for iControlPad 2 mostly came from user feedback. They've made several adjustments, including adding a 55-key keyboard and additional rapid fire keys.
Also, the controller's housing is now made of both metal and plastic, for more durability, and the phone cradle has also been upgraded. And, it can game for 12-14 hours straight on a single charge.
But perhaps the most interesting thing about the gamepad is that it's completely open source. It will connect to almost anything — iOS and Android devices, Macs, PCs, Linux systems. If you're building a mechanical robot and need a controller, this will work. It's completely hackable.
Product 3 says that it has working prototypes, and it's enlisted the help of Kickstarter to raise $150,000 to start production. If you want one, a pledge of $69 gets you on the pre-order list.
The iControlPad2 may not look as refined or polished as some of the other iPhone-friendly gamepads out there. But if it's aimed at hackers and hardware-modders, it doesn't have to.

Announcing ScienceLeaks
By Rosie Redfield on Saturday, January 01, 2011
This venture was triggered by the many people complaining that they couldn't evaluate the 'arseniclife' paper because the journal Science only allowed access to its abstract, not to the full paper or its supplementary online materials. In response, Science temporarily opened access to people wiling to register at their site, but when the month ends the barrier will go right back up.
This access problem applies to the great majority of scientific papers. The public pays for the research, but the results are locked behind journal-subscription paywalls, accessible only to people with personal subscriptions or affiliated with major research libraries, or to those willing to pay $20-$40 for access to individual articles.
Most researchers agree that this legacy of the pre-internet days is morally wrong and unfair to everyone. Those of us who can afford it pay thousands of dollars to the journals to make our own articles open access. And many of us post PDFs of our own papers on our personal web sites. But these aren't easy to find, especially for people not working in the field.
So I've set up a web site called Science Leaks (actually a Blogger blog) to serve as a clearing house, providing links to the papers people want to read. Anyone who's looking for access to a paper can simply post the paper's information as a comment, and anyone who knows where a pdf is available can then post the link. (Once a link is posted I'll remove the request comment, to keep things tidy.)
This is just a stopgap solution. In the short term, if there's sufficient interest someone will (I hope) help me to set up a better site. But the real solution is to change from having subscribers pay publication costs to having granting agencies pay them, either directly or as a line item in grant budgets.
I've been hoping that someone would do this for years!! I totally agree, it's utterly ridiculous that some journals force people to pay $30 for online access to a single article. Even $5 per article is too much I think.
I wouldn't be too upset about paying $1 or $2 via something convenient like paypal for access, but more than that is completely unjustifiable - there are no print costs for the journal to cover and it certanly doesn't cost $30 to host an article on a server.
Certainly if they expect people to pay more for a single paper than buying the entire issue of the journal from a newsstand would cost (if it's available there) then something is terribly wrong.
Nature is pretty obscene in this regard - $32 to download a single article? That's about twice the price of a whole issue (which would cost $16.58) on a personal yearly subscription of $199!
Maddie January 1, 2011 at 6:27 PM
Wonderful idea! As a PhD student I'm entirely dependent on my university subscription to academic journals. University libraries across the country have been under intense pressure lately to cut costs, but the officials in charge of managing university budgets rarely take into consideration the absurd subscription fees libraries are paying to make literally thousands of esoteric academic journals available to a small number of researchers. I think we may soon be entering an age where this system becomes entirely economically unfeasible, and if this happens a dramatic overhaul in academic publishing and access will have to take place.
The lack of access of people outside the realm of academia to primary research contributes significantly to the misconstruing of published scientific results and the general public distrust of scientific research.
Have you heard of something called "copyright"? Are you ready to be sued or otherwise prosecuted for being a "facilitator of illegal downloading"? I know you mean well, but this won't matter to the copyright trolls and law enforcement. This would have to be an ANONYMOUS system, at both ends (submission and publishing), with servers outside of the U.S. and most other European countries (although Iceland might work). Something like the original Pirate Bay and similar file-sharing sites. Good luck.
JoshSN January 2, 2011 at 5:59 AM
Don't most journals publish their own material, free, online, after a period of time?
Who would bother to publish this material if they don't make any money? I certainly don't imagine they are supporting a GE/GM/Exxon/Mobil class of fat cats, although they probably do drive late model cars.
Still, Science was pretty dumb. Inverse demand pricing would have worked for them, here. If 50K people want an article, charging $2 nets them $100K, far more than their print publishing costs.
Over at the website reddit.com, a couple thousand of us already established a network to share journal articles like this. Almost all requests are filled within a few days there. Here's the link: http://www.reddit.com/r/scholar/
Rosie Redfield January 2, 2011 at 6:25 AM
@Anonymous (6:07 am): Cool! Is there a FAQ?
deevybee January 2, 2011 at 6:47 AM
Anon is right: you would be acting illegally,so be careful. You could get the lawyers coming after you.
I can usually get journals through my institution, but when I can't, my first course of action is to email the author and ask for the paper. It works on 90% of occasions. Though tracking down the email can sometimes be timeconsuming.
I agree with other commentators about journals behaving foolishly re pricing. I wonder if anyone pays these inflated prices. I'd pay $1-2 dollars to get a paper quickly without faffing around. I won't pay $30-40.
ike solem January 2, 2011 at 7:12 AM
Once you start looking at how the scholarly communication system works with any degree of outside perspective, it looks utterly insane
Times Higher Education 16 Dec 2010, Paul Jump
The key point:
"Dr Neylon admitted his brave new world would require a "big cultural shift" currently being resisted by "entrenched financial interests" in the academy and in publishing."
And also this:
"Public research funding is not a sheltered housing scheme for people with PhDs," he said. "It is something that is expected to deliver and communications is part of that."
NASA, of course, would rather just have you read their press releases, go "oooh... aaah..." and leave it at that.
Critical analysis is not encouraged within the U.S federal science system these days - because it might conflict with more important political, economic, and administrative goals.
Since links can change or die, I think it'd be worth hosting the papers yourself whenever possible.
I'm not the intended audience, but I think this is a great step forward. Thank you for giving back to humanity.
A site already exists which leaks scientific publications:
http://library.nu/
I would suggest that you don't use a blog for this.
True, most researchers depend on the public for research money, but the journals -- which act as a clearinghouse that determines what is fit to be published so we are not flooded with substandard reports -- depend on subscriptions. Please don't leak new papers.
This enters into a bigger debate about intellectual property, and it has actually come under examination as to effects on research and education in the third world, where access is severely limited. As a result, the NIH is looking into a method to ensure that all research be released to the public domain in a very short time frame. These measures will do far more to open research to the public -- not a leaks website.
Theft Is Wrong January 2, 2011 at 8:53 AM
You do not have a right to publish work that does not belong to you, whether or not you think the work should be open-source. These journals are businesses, and you are stealing if you put work up for free that is available for pay.
As has been pointed out, you cannot leak copy-righted material. However, one could establish a pre-print archive similar to what the scientific community in mathematics and physics uses.

Cristy at Living Donor 101 dot com January 2, 2011 at 9:25 AM
While I understand folks' copyright objections, sometimes an individual has to engage in a bit of civil disobedience to make a larger point.
As a truly indepdent living donor advocate/activist, I spend a lot of time combating the warm-fuzzy press releases constantly issued by the large transplant centers. The high fees extorted by these academic journals keep valuable information from the public, prevent meaningful dialogue and stonewall real change.
Contrary to a prior comment, not every journal eventually makes their material available free of charge (Transplantation, for example). While I have associates with higher ed or medical facility access, I shouldn't have to inconvenience them for materials created with public money.
How can anyone copyright that which is produced with tax money? Right now according to copyrighted copyright law, not only can publicly funded research be copyrighted, but that even the laws that our legislatures pass are copyrighted. This is nonsense.
If public monies are used for research, then the results of that research must be public.
I guess all those article reviewers should work for free and/or we should post everything to the net without peer review and let the net
"decide" which study is valid.
This is a foolish path we are going down.
Point of clarification: I meant "article editors" not "article reviewers"
deevybee January 2, 2011 at 10:05 AM
All these anonymous people! Not sure which one I am responding to, but anyhow, the reviewers *do* work for free.
The late Robert Maxwell couldn't believe it when he found that academics would give him their articles for free, would evaluate other people's work for free and then let him sell it all back to them at great expense.
Dear old anonymous!
the editors typically work for free as well - or for peanuts.
@deevybee I guess that you didn't read my point of clarification about "reviewers" vs. "editors"
Also, a site like ScienceLeaks undermines the livelihood of the editors who work on these journals. They all have gone through the rigorous and lengthy process of obtaining a PhD and gaining expertise in their field. They sift through a shitload of crappy science to find the gems and then work with the scientists to turn their unintelligible gobbledygook into something intelligible.
Now, how much is that worth? Nothing, as a site like ScienceLeaks purports?
In my mind, it's just like the devaluation of journalists who go through much of the same process.
Information might be free but making sense of it isn't.
Edward January 2, 2011 at 10:39 AM
Isn't PLoS a "serious" attempt to redress this issue? And if it is, why not register your protest by participating there, or even duplicating their effort?
Also, while I'm a big believer in the internet helping those who help themselves, your project strikes me as poorly researched, and the traction it's getting due more to your use of the buzz work "leaks" than to any particular novelty.
As pointed out in these comments, better tools have already been implemented to similar ends. Specifically reddit. tumblr would also work better than blogger. Also, anonymity online is a myth unless you're a highly skilled hacker.
Víctor Raggio January 2, 2011 at 12:18 PM
There is a friendfeed room called References Wanted. Description:"This is a room to document the harm caused by closed/toll-access publication by collecting hard data to answer the frequent anti-OA attack "everyone has all the access they need already". Post here citations to journal articles you'd like to read/need for your work, but can't get without paying a fee. And don't forget there's a neat tool available for emailing authors to ask for a reprint or the address of a self-archived copy http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/001385.html
.. forgot to add that the response time for getting manuscript via above room is usually an hour or two, rarely over 24.
Michael K. January 2, 2011 at 1:41 PM
Everyone should just add the essence of the articles they read and share via Wikipedia.
Then link to some original publication in the footnote.
Will Spooner January 2, 2011 at 1:45 PM
Most would now agree that closed access publishing is an inconvenience at best, and scientifically damaging at worst; just ask the NLP community for evidence. Direct action like ScienceLeaks is great, although I would also advocate boycott; see for example;
http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2008/02/06/openaccess_is_t.html
EJ Willingham January 2, 2011 at 3:29 PM
If costs for publication shift to granting agencies as part of line-item funding through grants, then editors shouldn't lose their jobs over the shift in culture. Science is done by the people, paid for by the people in large part, and should be made available for the people, not tucked away behind ludicrously expensive paywalls. I celebrated the advent of PLoS because of their open access policy. Liberte, egalite, fraternite for all, not only those who have access through a university library. The freest exchange of scientific thought will come with freely available scientific findings and discourse.
Nature also has an open-access option:
http://www.nature.com/press_releases/naturecommunications.html
I was looking for some one to reference PLOS but here it is: a public repository of scientific papers.
DWH January 3, 2011 at 7:26 AM
I don't mind paying. I get subscriptions to the journals. It supports jobs and the scientific economy. If this results in putting people out of work, because the income that supported them is lost due to stealing, then I would recommend that people pay for the article.
Tom Paine January 3, 2011 at 12:12 PM
According to the Google Books settlement, it is OK for a big corporation to steal copyrighted material, even print and sell copies of it, without the permission of the author.
I am not happy about this settlement.
But since it stands as an example of the brave new world of legislation-by-novel-civil-case-law and few have objected, it's absurd to say that corporations should be able to take copyrighted material by individuals without permission, but individuals should not be able to take copyrighted material of corporations without permission. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, let the principle apply to everyone or to no one.
even though I was and still am a big supporter of your arsenic battle, I do agree with previous commenters that you need to step back on this initiative. You must consider the legal issues and find a better platform. Ultimately, it would have been great to have a post pointing out the resources already exhisting on Internet to get free papers instead ( some have been mentioned in the comments).
Would be great of you to step back on this. Particularly since, as it is now, it seems more a move to stay in the spotlight than a very well planned action. good luck in any case.
Rosie Redfield January 4, 2011 at 11:11 AM
I'm posting this comment for Ginger because Blogger rejected her attempts to post it herself (it contained links, which I suspect are a Blogger no-no):
Dear Dr. Redfield:
Thanks for your interest in communicating science broadly. I'm writing on behalf of the nonprofit American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), publisher of the journal Science.
First, we're glad that you reminded us to keep the Science article by Felisa Wolfe-Simon and colleagues freely accessible to the public via the Science Web site. The article and a related news piece remain free to the public, now without registration.
Secondly, I'd like to provide general information on how AAAS broadly disseminates peer-reviewed research.
A subscription to Science costs less than $3 per issue ($149 annually, or much less for students, teachers, and emeritus faculty), and it helps to support programmatic "good works" related to science diplomacy, science in service of human rights, science policy, and public engagement with science and technology. Non-members can purchase individual articles for $15.
Also, our award-winning ScienceNOW news content is always freely available. Research articles are available to the public on the Science Web site after 12 months. Authors are free to post their articles on their own or publicly supported Web sites, and of course, everyone in an institution with a site license has immediate access to everything we publish.
In addition, we participate in a number of efforts to disseminate research content for free to developing regions. These efforts include:
1) HINARI, the Health InterNetwork: Access to Research Initiative, http://www.healthinternetwork.org;
2) OARE, the Online Access to Research in the Environment initiative, http://www.oaresciences.org/en/;
3) AGORA, the Access to Global Online Resources in Agriculture initiative; and
4) SciDev.Net, an Internet-based network, http://www.scidev.net.
I hope this information proves useful, and thank you again for helping to stimulate scholarly discourse.
Ginger Pinholster
Director, Office of Public Programs
American Association for the Advancement of Science
Your analysis of the arsenic paper was thoughtful and appropriate. Establishing ScienceLeaks is the opposite.
For one thing you clearly haven't thought through the legal ramifications. Assuming your site is a success and 1,000 papers end up being downloaded everyday. If these cost between $15 to $30 that obviously equates to the 'theft' of between $15k and $30k of copyright material. If we assume the site is not closed down, this would be approaching a million Dollars worth over the course of a year.
I'm not a lawyer but I'm assuming the penalty for this will be pretty severe - perhaps even a Felony?
Consequently, I don't think this is a good solution to the issue. I'm assuming you didn't think this through very well, otherwise my conclusion would be you have enjoyed your proverbial 15 minutes in the limelight and are now trying to remain a bit longer.
With some journals the authors can pay around $800 to $1,000 to allow immediate public release. If the author(s) have chosen not to do this then they are responsible for their paper being locked for a 12 months, not the journal. If you are taking the moral high ground on this issue can we be assured you have never published in a journal that didn't allow full and immediate public access?
Michael Eisen January 4, 2011 at 10:05 PM
Under US Copyright laws, work carried out by employees of the US government (i.e. NASA) are not eligible for copyright protection. Thus, Science has no right to claim copyright on the arsenic paper, and it would (or at least should) not be illegal to post the paper.
But the real way to combat the absurd fact that publicly funded research is not available to the people who paid for it is to demand that all government scientists, and those receiving federal support, publish their papers in open access journals.
And all you haters out there who think that journal editors will lose their jobs if subscriptions disappear need to educate yourself about open access publishing.
Basically, the issue is that journals rely on university library subscriptions to offset printing and staffing costs. Most journals (science and nature excepted) do not make any money off of advertising. If university libraries dropped their subscriptions, they'd have financial difficulties.
One obvious option is for the national science foundations to set aside a limited amount of money for these needs for a certain number of journals, who agree to an open-access model in exchange.
Some journals, of course, are just clubs for researchers who use them to increase their publication counts. Academic nepotism, in other words. Such journals may very well select pals of the submitting author as reviewers, ensuring quick acceptance.
Hence, good scientists need to develop a critical eye when it comes to reading papers - for example, the first question to ask is this: "Is the materials and methods section a model of clarity? Can this experimental approach be reconstructed given the information presented?"
If the answers are no, chuck it in the trash and move on to the next one - or get ready to dig through the references for hours, and make lots of phone calls - at the end of which you typically discover that it was garbage, after all.
@Ike. You make a very good point. If everyone can freely download papers from Science Leaks why would cash strapped institutions maintain their subscriptions?
÷0 January 6, 2011 at 8:37 PM
The physics/maths community has arxiv.org. The idea is that before submitting to a journal you post a preprint on arxiv, and it is thus free of journal copyright idiocy.
Sadly, there are still many articles that don't get posted there.
I have mixed feelings about open access from both a PI's and a taxpayer's perspective.
While in an ideal world, all articles based on taxpayers' money should be freely accessible. But in reality, it is not cheap to publish these articles on an open-access basis -- typically thousands of dollars per article. Now, as a PI with limited funding, I don't want to waste $3000 to publish a technical and specialized paper that <10 people would actually read from top to bottom. As a taxpayer, I would strongly be against paying flat ~$3000 for all publications resulting from federally funded research simply because of the economical standpoint.
Sure, few thousand bucks of tax money may be well spent to give open access to an article that describes a new breast cancer therapy, but I would argue that very small fraction of the open access articles out there
is actually of any worth to the public (ie taxpayers) to justify the
cost.
Writing Clear Science January 9, 2011 at 11:47 PM
I think an important issue is not that we have to pay, but how much. If we have to pay for anything we think twice about whether we really need it. We value more what we pay for. But $15-$30 is too much to pay for someone like me who runs an independant consultancy but still wants to do valid research. Like iphone aps and itunes songe, if papers were available for $2-3 then publishers would probably make more revenue - not less, because more people would buy them.
I agree. If these articles can be purchased for $2-3 or less, it makes sense to have anyone in the public who wants that information to pay for themselves, rather than indiscriminately spend thousands of dollars of tax money for each and every publication resulting from government-funded research.
In fact, I would be a bit outraged to see rather obscure publications published in OA journals that charges $2000 per shot, thinking that our hard-earned money is spent on just to make these papers freely accessible even though there's no demand. A lot of papers are meant to be read by few specialists only (which is perfectly legitimate) and not by the general public. Advocating complete OA without concern for the cost to taxpayers is rather irresponsible.
Haidy Arreola January 27, 2011 at 2:09 PM
Conratulations!!! This is a REAL work of a science socialnetwork, particularly for countries where subscriptions are budget impossible to dream buying. Best regards to ALL who are helping to live in a world that learns to share info&knowledge for the future of human kind.

After Your Baby is Born
Coordinated Care for Families in Recovery
The current COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns among patients who are pregnant. As women healthcare providers, our charge is to reassure our patients as well as provide guidance for the wellbeing of their developing fetuses.
We continue to remind and stress the importance of infection prevention measures such as hand washing, physical distancing, and wearing a mask. We also strongly recommend that pregnant women limit socializing with people outside of their household, which is in keeping with the Governor of Vermont's current emergency orders. These measures work to keep the Mom safe and therefore protect the fetus.
Though it does not appear that pregnant women are at an increased risk of getting COVID-19, data does suggest that pregnant females who do contract COVID-19 are at a slightly increased risk of severe outcomes when compared to non-pregnant peers. This includes higher risk of needing care in the intensive care unit. Pregnant females with other conditions such as obesity and diabetes may have an even higher risk of severe illness due to COVID-19. Since pregnancy is a high-risk factor for COVID-19, the CDC has included pregnant females in the Phase 1c or Phase 3 vaccine rollout. Most pregnant women (90%) who do contract COVID-19 do not have significant adverse outcomes.
At Rutland Women's Healthcare, we recommend that our pregnant and lactating patients receive the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as it is available to them. This recommendation is supported by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG).
Currently, there are two types of vaccines available from two manufacturers, Pfizer and Moderna. Both have been shown to be 95% effective at preventing COVID-19 illness after the second dose. And, like most vaccines, it takes a few days or weeks for a person to fully establish the immune response necessary to protect them against the virus. The expected side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine such as fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills and joint pain, are short-lived but normal response to the vaccine. It is a signal that the body is reacting by developing antibodies to protect against the virus. The vaccines themselves do not contain the live virus but rather mirror the virus to trigger the body's immune response.
Based on the data we have reviewed from both the phase II and phase III clinical trials, we expect the vaccine is as safe and as effective for pregnant women as it is for non-pregnant woman. And, given the risk of COVID-19 exposure during this pandemic, and the increased risk to women who are pregnant, we recommend that pregnant women do whatever they can to protect themselves and their fetus from contracting COVID-19.
To learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine and pregnancy, please visit the ACOG website or the CDC website. Please be sure to talk with your provider about your concerns and any special health considerations you may have.

Pelosi says she is waiting for 'final yes' from White House on stimulus deal
Greg Robb
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday she's waiting for Monday to see if the White House gives a "final yes" to a coronavirus stimulus deal.
Pelosi said she asked Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin for clarification on lingering issues concerning testing and education.
"I sent over on Friday the list of concerns we still had … and my understanding [is that] he will be reviewing that over the weekend and we will have some answers on Monday," Pelosi said on CNN's "State of the Union."
"We're still waiting for the final OK," she added.
Earlier on CNN, the White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, had complained that Pelosi was moving the goalposts in the negotiations.
Pelosi said it was Republicans who deserved blame for shifting their demands. She was still hopeful, she said, for a House vote before the election, even as many lawmakers see this is out of the question.
The speaker said the language was important because otherwise Trump could spend allocated money "any way he wants."
If Democrats win the White House and the Senate and keep the House, Pelosi said she would not wait until next year to rewrite legislation that could be passed without Republicans.
"The sooner the better — people need help right away," Pelosi said. The talks ongoing are making the bill "bigger, better and safer" with retroactive benefits.
The leverage is that both sides now appear to want an agreement, some three weeks after President Donald Trump pulled the plug on stimulus negotiations and five months after the House passed its HEROES Act with some bipartisan backing as the second major legislative pandemic relief measure. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell prevented that bill from being taken up in the Senate. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican now locked in a tight re-election battle, reportedly declared it "dead on arrival" before the chamber went on summer break.
"It could happen this week in the House. That's up to Mitch [McConnell] as to whether it happens in the Senate and [then goes] to the president's desk," she said,


I'M OFFICIALLY BACK: Hi my loves! Quick apology for the absent days! I'm back and ready to go. I'm definitely inspired and full of new ideas that I can't wait to share with you guys. At the moment, I'm working on new designs and new projects which I cannot wait to tell you about… so stay tuned! It's worth it!
In the meantime, Enjoy today to the max and stay tuned with Pixels Thoughts & Words because from now I'll be publishing posts like a crazy person.

MUA Intel Highlights Crisis At Newcastle Port
Posted by Communications Team on January 09, 2010
In a troubling report some 50 ships have been detained in the Port of Newcastle in the past three years for defects that include faults with equipment that prevents the discharging of oily waste into the ocean
According to the report in the Newcastle Herald, all of the vessels were foreign-flagged and most were coal ships, and were detained in the port for a few hours to about 11 days.
A number were delayed from leaving the harbour because of the detentions.
MUA National Secretary Paddy Crumlin said the statistics were alarming and said Australia's shipping industry had to be rebuilt after being decimated by a decade of inaction by the Howard Govt, with fewer than 50 Australian-registered ships in service.
"2010 is the year the Government needs to make decisions to refloat the shipping, providing real incentive for investment in new ships. At the same time we need to exercise tighter controls on flag of convenience vessels. What's happening in Newcastle is environmental vandalism", Crumlin said.
National International Transport Workers Federation Co-ordinator Dean Summers said that while the number of detained vessels was low compared to the thousands that visit the port, the ITF Federation saw the defects as concerning and said more surveyors were needed as only a small portion of vessels moving through the country's ports were inspected.
The authority has three full-time surveyors in Newcastle. Last year it inspected 347 vessels in Newcastle, up from 286 in 2008. Vessels are targeted on risk categories.
The Federation also wants the Commonwealth to prevent "flag of convenience" vessels, which fly the flag of a country other than the country of ownership, from carrying high-risk cargoes in Australian waters, arguing the vessels are often sub-standard.
In two of the more serious cases of last year, the Megah Tiga, a flag of convenience vessel, and the Achilles, both carrying ammonium nitrate, were declared unseaworthy after the Maritime Union tipped off the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
Another ship loaded with ammonium nitrate in Newcastle, the Pacific Adventurer, was declared unseaworthy when it arrived in Brisbane in March last year after enduring gales and spilling 31 containers of the substance and 270 tonnes of oil off the Queensland coast.
Since October 2006 to November last year, 53 vessels have been detained in Newcastle following inspections, according to safety authority figures.
Data for last month was unavailable.
The detentions were for defects that included faults with lifeboats' release mechanisms, engine-room fire dampers, which prevent air entering a particular space, wasted cargo hatch covers and poor maintenance.

– Computational Fluid Dynamics/Mathematical Physics – Many physicists and engineers work on mathematical methods for fixing partial differential formulas designing physical phenomena. Keep in mind: This is the location I worked in prior to I ended up being a quantitative designer. The focus of the documents sent to CSDA needs to consist of either a computational or information analysis element. Documents, which are simply theoretical are not proper for CSDA, and will be gone back to the authors. Whenever suitable the manuscript need to provide an illustrative example of application. There is a requirement to consist of Computational Thinking (CT) in K-12 class. In this paper, we provide an analysis on teaching and promoting CT in issue fixing and writing. Our instructor expert advancement on CT that has roots in issue writing and fixing assisted instructors experience CT in an appropriate, useful context and prepared them to incorporate CT in their class.

Leonard Sylvanus Klinck (January 20, 1877 – March 27, 1969) was the second president of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from 1919 to 1940.

Biography
Leonard Klinck was born in Victoria Square, Ontario in 1877. He graduated from the Ontario Agricultural College in 1903, and received a Master of Science in Agriculture from Iowa State University in 1905. He then taught at the Macdonald College at McGill University.

Klinck was appointed Dean of Agriculture in 1914. He set to work clearing 150 acres at Point Grey, preparing it for University usage. An archive photograph shows him at a small shed, the first building on the site, displaying a Danger sign. Evidently it was used to store explosives used in the work. But it would be a decade before the site was occupied by students.

Frank Wesbook and Leonard Klinck toured the Okanagan, visiting orchards, packing houses, and horse and cattle ranches. Their trip took them through Salmon Arm, Vernon, Coldstream, Lumby, Kelona, Summerland and Penticton. In 1915 Klinck, Wesbrook, and Dean of Applied Science R. W. Brock, met with the premier in Victoria to discuss the amount of provincial support for the envisioned institution. The skeleton of a science building was erected at Point Grey, but the contractor had underbid the costs and went bankrupt, leaving the building unfinished. Klinck was called upon to estimate the cost of completion.

When Wesbrook fell ill, he wrote his colleague:

In July 1919 Klinck was appointed president. In a later reflection, when he lectured on the principles of administration, he lamented that service in the office of university president entailed "sacrifice of opportunities for acquiring a mastery in any recognized department of learning." Nevertheless, Klinck continued his activity with the Society of Technical Agriculturists.

Klinck had the attitude that the university should be modest in profile before the public:

What to do with that child who just doesn't fit in... and who pushes all of your buttons!
I am no expert, except on my own journey as a mom of such different children, who did not all fit the box of the norm--whatever that is!
Take a deep breath--it is a long journey, this motherhood call. Yet, it will be the making of your faith and character and will shape the character of the next generation.
No two alike--yet now I see that God created all of them to have different dreams, different work, different calls on their lives--yet all are so deeply connected with invisible threads that make them undeniably Clarkson's, fiercely loyal and best of friends.
There were times when I thought God had pushed me just too far.
I had learning issues to deal with, differing personalities, behavioral issues and just did not think I was a natural mom. I did love my kids a lot, but often felt over my head. Yet, now these many years later, it is easy to read back and see why the kids were so different and why God gave me out of the box kids.
And even, in spite of some of their challenges, they were able to become healthy adults, though at least 2 still deal on a daily basis with their long term issues, and always will. Many adults have hidden medical, mental and emotional issues that are not evident on the surface because they have learned to cope in a healthy way with their own puzzles. Often they hide mental illness or learning issues because they wanted to be understood, and understanding often came from learning to fit in.
I believe it was the culture of freedom, grace, faith we engaged in through our home culture, that God must have known what He was doing to give me such children. Slowly, I came to a philosophy of believing in dreams, the unique design of God on their lives, and avoiding competition or comparison amongst my children. I searched for who they were inside where their hearts beat with passions, interests, loves in life and that helped them to become healthy adults. As a young mama, I did not know or understand all of the letters that represent problematic issues with children (Add, Adhd, odd, ocd, mental illness, etc.) and yet, eventually, I could see that several of my children had some unusual, out of the box issues.
In a moment of frustration, my mother said, "Well, you are just getting what you deserve. What goes around comes around, because you were the child who would lay on the floor and throw fits if you didn't get your way. You threw a fit when your brothers got guns and holsters and all you got was a doll. You threw your doll across the room, wrestled down your brother and almost undressed him when you tried to confiscate his gun and holster."
That didn't help. I just didn't know how to handle one of my children until I learned his cues, but had no helpful or informative input. But learn I did and little by little we made it all the way through childhood alive! There are some basic tenets of Biblical design that helped me free my children to be themselves.
I learned to just love the unique people God had formed inside of me, when He crafted my children for a specific purpose.
Now, Sarah has become a writer, finishing her degree at Oxford, and she is still reading hundreds of books. Joel is a composer, still singing, working on film and television scores, producing his own original music.. Nathan is dreamed his own way through Hollywood--launching his first film under incredibly difficult circumstances. Joy entered college at 17, is on a debate scholarship--and is still questioning all issues, but now I can see it was a gift, not a detriment. Now she is getting her masters in theology at St. Andrews--all those questions are still bubbling up, but now they are focussed on bigger issues, perhaps to fulfill her long term work.
And the others had some interesting issues--but each required unique wisdom to understand their motivations and hearts and limitations, so that I could parent them according to their own bent. Study your children and pray for insight.
DON'T NEGATIVELY JUDGE A PERSONALITY, EVEN IF IT IS DIFFERENT THAN YOURS. GOD MADE YOUR CHILD THAT WAY FOR THE WORK HE OR SHE WILL SOME DAY ACCOMPLISH.
Out of the box kids may be in the box of God's plans.
1. I looked for my children's unique personality traits. I tried to understand them when they struggled with our training or discipline to figure out how to speak to the heart of the personality God had given them and asked for insight into these differences that seemed to create stress in our relationship.
I have seen so many children rebel when they were forced to live within the parameters of conformity and legalism and when their parents tried to control them as young adults instead of setting them free to exercise their own spiritual, emotional and mental muscle.
Pressure to conform turns a child away from the heart of God, because a child is made to know the acceptance God has for them--as He made them the way they are. I am not speaking of not disciplining or training your child, but of making sure parenting is not working against the very way God made them to "tick," so to speak.
2. Don't try to train a child with learning issues or mental or emotional issues through harsh discipline or by using guilt. If a child has poor vision, you could not make him able to see by spanking him. He just needs glasses. A mentally ill child also needs medical help.
In other words, accept the limitations of their disabilities and learning issues. And children with medical or learning issues may require more of you their whole lives—it may never be easy. It is a part of the puzzle God has asked you to live by faith and grace.
I was advised that all children who struggled with mental illness were possibly demon possessed, from one friend. (Does that mean that children who can't hear well or see well or have an illness are also demon possessed because they have a physical weakness?! of course not.) So be careful of who you choose to advise you--there are all sorts of opinionated people who offer no wisdom or insight at all.
3. Make the issues you "stand strong on" with your children Biblical principles. (fruit of the spirit training, telling the truth, learning to respect others, practicing wisdom) and not external rules of behavior.
In other words, focus on the heart issues, not the external issues. Your child may choose a different style of clothing, or like different artists in music or have a different sense of humor or be quieter than you--but that does not make their personality wrong--just different.
Your children will probably be different, in some ways, than some of your values because they are of a different generation and may have differing personalities. Don't expect your children to confirm to cookie cutter proportions--no two children are alike.
4. If you have a very difficult child, or one so different than your personality that it is an issue daily, be sure to get some breaks for yourself. Fill your own heart with friends who love and accept you and understand you. Take time to have un-pressured time away from the "always problematic child" so that you can gain perspective and also so you can maintain your commitment to love the child. Grow in patience. It is a work of life. Refueling is essential, so we can continue to be gracious mamas. Some children are difficult for many, many years, but they will mature and respond in time. Don't feel guilty if you need a little break from your children to gain perspective and to restore.
5. Remember that God loves you. He has not made a mistake. He has not trusted you with more than you can handle.
He will give grace, but it is usually one step at a time.
My most difficult children are the ones who have given me the most relevant examples in m ministry to help other parents have wisdom in their own lives. If I had not struggled with my children and their issues, I would have never developed compassion with other normal mamas. The very problems and burdens drove me to God and to seek out more wisdom. He sees, He understands, He will lead, and he can open the hearts of our children in His time to cause them to respond to us and to help us to learn to respond in love to them.
6. Extend grace for gender, (boys have testosterone -and may be louder and more active, though that does not mean they are ADHD. But my girls are wonderful spiritual warriors, and very strong in personality and strong-minded, as well and great thinkers and teachers. Girls' hormones pre-dispose them to be mothers and nurturers—but boys can also be used by God to be gentle and practical--some male nurses are the most strategic in hospitals.
Don't live by limiting paradigms that are not truly Biblical. God is a God of variety and diversity. He is the one who made zebras and peacocks and mice and elephants--let us not prejudice ourselves by false standards of what our children can and cannot do, because of arbitrary cultural definitions.
God made men who were artisans for the temple and woman who saved a battle by cutting off the head of a king, because the men were cowards; men who were great warriors and women who influenced historical decisions--Esther. Just use wisdom as God slowly reveals the design of your child and guide him with wisdom and faith.
Extend grace for age--don't be too hard on your first child, or micro-manage them. This can create problems in children that cause young mothers to suppose there are learning issues or behavioral issues, when their children are perfectly normal, but under too much pressure to "behave a certain way" before they are able. Sometimes when young children are pushed too early, they react out of defense and then behavioral problems develop.
Don't try to force your 3 year old to sit still to homeschool---give them room to breathe, to grow up into maturity, to play, to develop. We tend to rush our children when they are small instead of letting them be age appropriate in their behavior. Give them time and space to grow and to mature--it is a slow process for all of us. (As Clay once said to me, "How old were you when you quit sinning?!) Obviously I was expecting my children to be more perfect than I had ever been. Too much pressure and guilt creates misbehavior and rebellion.
So much more to say, but these are a few thoughts to answer some questions I have received. I pray it helps and pray for you mamas trying to figure it all out!
It is our sanctification and our humbling to raise the children God uniquely gave to us, but also our gift that God uses to shape us in the direction of His love and wisdom. God will give you understanding to be able to act wisely with your out of the box kids. May God give you the ability to breathe and to find freedom and grace for each of your days, and may you know you are not alone.

Ndokobou II ou Ndokbou II est un village du Cameroun situé dans la région du Centre et le département du Mbam-et-Inoubou. Il fait partie de la commune de Ndikiniméki. Ndokbou II est situé dans le Canton Inubu Sud composé de 15 villages. Il est situé à 40 km de son chef lieu Ndikinimeki.

Population
En 1964 le village comptait une centaine d'habitants, principalement Banen.

Lors du recensement de 2005, on y dénombrait 250 personnes.

La vaste majorité des Ndokbou vivent en ville et à l'étranger. Un recensement des Ndokbou dans le monde est en cours.

Le premier Chef Ndokbou reconnu par l'administration était Elang Martin décédé en 1960. Son fils Lovet François lui succédera. Il sera décoré d'une  médaille de la bravoure par les autorités militaires pour avoir courageusement combattu les maquisards. Ndokbou II est un des rares villages à avoir résisté aux maquisards dans le canton Inoubou Sud. La plupart des autres villages ont disparu. L'insécurité liée au maquis des années 50, 60 a poussé les autorités civiles et militaires à regrouper les populations à Ndokbou 2, devenu centre administratif. Le Chef actuel de Ndokbou est SM Lovet René.

Le plus grand fléau au delà de l'impact négatif du maquis restera l'exode rural.

Les principales activités à Ndokbou est la culture du cacao, la chasse, et la pêche.

Danny Kingad Wants Redemption Against Moraes And Johnson
Christian Jacinto
With the release of the first ONE Championship official athlete rankings, Danny "The King" Kingad is now laser-focused on his route to the ONE Flyweight World Championship.
The Team Lakay superstar – who is the #2-ranked flyweight contender – already had his sights on redemption against his two former foes, but when he saw his standing in his division, it sharpened his resolve to go after them when action inside the Circle gets back underway.
ONE Flyweight World Champion Adriano "Mikinho" Moraes takes his place at the top of the pile, with ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix Champion Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson the top contender.
It is no coincidence that they are the men responsible for the only two blemishes on Kingad's phenomenal 14-2 slate, and he made his intentions clear about wanting to square off against both Moraes and Johnson again soon.
"They're the targets. They are the barometers of the division, and they handed me both of my losses, so yes, I hope to face them again," Kingad asserts.
"The King" first faced Moraes for the ONE Flyweight World Title in the co-main event of ONE: LEGENDS OF THE WORLD in Manila, Philippines, on 10 November 2017.
The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt used his grappling experience to overcome the Baguio City native in his first shot at the gold, but he believes he has evolved a lot since then, and a second battle would be much different.
"I think if I get to face Adriano again, I'll come more prepared – particularly in my takedown defense and submission defense," he says.
"Those are the most important things to improve on. When it comes to striking, I'll also have to polish my power so if there's a chance to knock him out, I can capitalize."
Kingad was just seven bouts into his professional mixed martial arts career when he took on "Mikinho" for the first time, and, aged just 21, he did not have enough experience to combat the Brazilian's grappling offense.
"I think experience was a big factor in that match because it was just my second year in ONE at that time, and then they gave me a World Title shot already," he offers.
"I think if it happens again, I would be showing a lot of new things – things that I wasn't able to show in that fight. I've learned a lot since that match. I have gained experience from facing different opponents with different styles.
"I've continued to improve. The last few years have shown me the value of really working hard during training, focusing on sharpening my skill sets, and assessing my mistakes."

He was much more experienced when he faced Johnson for the ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix Championship at ONE: CENTURY in Tokyo, Japan, last October. But, despite a good showing against the man many consider as the greatest athlete of all time in mixed martial arts, he ultimately came up short on the judges' scorecards.
Kingad admitted he was nervous when he faced the legendary American, and it did not help that he felt overwhelmed the moment Johnson started imposing his will in the match.
"When it comes to DJ, I have to change a lot of things, especially with how I reacted on the ground," says "The King."
"Like Moraes, I have to improve my ground game because DJ is also very good on the ground and transitions. I was also too excited when I entered the match. It's something that I have to work on when we fight next."
Kingad made it to the final bell against Johnson, which was an achievement in itself, but he realized that it got harder and harder to win against the 12-time flyweight World Champion as the match progresses.
That knowledge has influenced his plan of attack if he does get a second shot at the American superstar.
"When we fight again, I really have to go and swing for the fences and look for a finish. The longer the match goes, the harder it is to take him on," he reveals.
"The King" got back on the winning track with his unanimous decision victory over "The Hunter" Xie Wei at ONE: FIRE & FURY in January, but amid the COVID-19 pandemic, his next move is unclear.
Moraes and Johnson are due to square off for the ONE Flyweight World Championship when ONE's 2020 calendar of events resumes, and he will be keeping a close eye on the result.
However, even if he doesn't get the chance to face off against one of his division's two leading men in his next bout, he is happy to be situated close behind a pair of mixed martial arts greats and will continue to improve at Team Lakay until his chance does come.
"I am happy that I am in this conversation, and I feel like I've changed a lot from all those matches," says Kingad.
"Back then, we were not that experienced, so I am happy that I am seeing the work that we've been doing."

I am excited to announce that I have more online classes coming very soon and the next couple are inspired by my new book- Sew Wild!
The first is called Beneath the Surface and it is a class dedicated to designing and creating your own unique and one of a kind fabric- from the design process to screen printing to dyeing to painting and LOTS more, this class is all about surface design. And not to worry if you are wondering what to do with all your fabric- I've got another class coming in the not so distant future all about sewing.
Registration will open Monday (Aug 8th) and I will be spilling all the class details and also giving away a few free spots in the class. So if you are interested in creating your own fabric check back on Monday for all the details.

The Agile adoption process has a lifecycle of its own. Agile hit the headlines after the publication of its manifesto in 2001. Experts in the media widely discussed the subject, and soon after, Agile had attracted the interests of the leading organizations all over the world. Agile promised to slash the cost and time taken to develop products and at the same time deliver better yields for all stakeholders.
Today, the adoption of Agile is picking up worldwide, and more and more companies are embracing Agile methodologies in the development efforts. Amidst all the hype, one may wonder whether media buzzwords such enterprise agility, DevOps, and Agile really trickle down to ubiquitous practical adoption. Well, to figure that out, you have to establish the current adoption numbers and what to expect in the near future.
The benefits of merging DevOps and enterprise Agile lifecycle management are countless, and the trend is expected to continue in 2018. Some corporations have already merged their enterprise agile lifecycle management software and DevOps in 2017, and they have seen the benefits. Other organizations that were watching closely are expected to do the same in 2018. Having faux silos with completely separate tooling has proven to impede the management of end to end value streams and the entire process of enterprise agility in general.
In 2018, the performance of Agile and by extension, DevOps will shift from being measured in traditional metrics towards measuring the efficiency of the way business value is delivered to customers. There will be the demand for new insights and metrics to streamline the flow of value through DevOps and Agile methods. This trend is driven by the increasing consciousness of organizations towards their end to end value streams.
Large corporations will be seeking to truly unify DevOps deployment, Agile development, and strategic planning. All this is in a bid to merge the people, processes, and applications and expedite enterprise agility. When a holistic end to end value streams and enterprise agility become the goal, enterprise software leaders must focus on unifying these three pillars of agility to succeed.
Enterprises in the software development industry will shift their focus to from attaining agility to DevOps. Note that none of these concepts will be going away completely anytime soon, but in the coming years, enterprises will move to doing DevOps from the typical tunnel vision scaling Agile approach.
Agile development, as well as its offspring, DevOps, will revolutionize software development. However, the world is changing fast, and over time, these two ideals are bound to change too. The initial objective of faster, cheaper, and efficient delivery of products remains.
