It’s become a yearly tradition that just before the Super Bowl, EA Sports runs a full game simulation of the two competing teams in order to predict who will emerge as victor. This year was no different, and the Madden 21 Super Bowl sim saw Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs take on Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl 55. When the dust settled, the Chiefs were victorious, earning Kansas City its second straight Super Bowl.
EA Sports shared an in-depth breakdown of the Super Bowl 55 simulation on its official website. Once the final quarter had ended, the Chiefs won 37-27. As expected, both quarterbacks were slinging the ball all over the place, as Mahomes finished with 422 yards, and Brady clocking in at 332. In true Chiefs fashion, Kansas City caught fire in the second half, and were simply too much for the Bucs to keep up with.
Madden’s Super Bowl predictions have been a little spotty in recent years. While the simulation accurately predicted the Chief’s victory in Super Bowl 54, they missed the mark on both Super Bowls 53 and 52. This year’s prediction is in line with the general consensus, as the Chiefs simply feel like an unstoppable force on a mission to collect trophy after trophy. That said, you can never discount a team that has Tom Brady in the backfield, so we could be in for quite a treat.
If you’re into American football, let us know. Who do you have in the big game? It’s been a big news week for EA Sports, as the company recently announced the return of College Football. For more on the studio, as well as Madden 21, stay right here on Shacknews.

The mission of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is “to serve as a global forum for the collaboration of developers and users of spatial data products and services, and to advance the development of international standards for geospatial interoperability.” Throughout the geospatial community, OGC is known for its leadership in developing and promulgating publicly available standards. These standards “geo-enable” the web and make possible interoperable architectures, services and applications that integrate geospatial capabilities into enterprise missions and processes. Over the past few years OGC members have developed and implemented a suite of geospatial standards and specifications that, along with standards from other organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), gives us a framework for geospatial interoperability.
However, we often do not fully recognize the importance of the OGC as a forum for collaboration. The Consortium now consists of over 360 members from around the world who bring perspectives, needs and interests from many segments of the global geospatial community. OGC collaborative processes have worked well for its membership as a foundation for developers and users to work together to develop and advance the use of geospatial standards. In particular, the OGC Interoperability Program and its Compliance Testing Program bring organizations together in a manner that helps create a climate of collaboration. I believe that we should also look at that collaboration effort as part of a larger picture. Throughout the world, there is a tremendous amount of work taking place to develop and implement federated geospatial enterprises, or Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs), to modernize the collection, management, sharing, use and dissemination of geospatial data. By their very nature, these activities require a high level of coordination and cooperation between public and private sector entities. As SDIs are being implemented in nations and regions around the globe, we see a great deal of commonality in their building blocks. A good depiction of these common elements is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Components of the NSDI (source: http://www.fgdc.gov/components)
This is a diagram used by the U.S. Federal Geographic Data Committee to show the components of the U.S. National Spatial Data Infrastructure and their relationship to each other. While this diagram is from the United States, it generally represents the major components of SDIs around the world. In particular, we should note that two elements of the NSDI touch all others. These are Standards and Partnerships (or Collaboration). These two components are the keys to technical and institutional interoperability within and between SDIs and the federated geospatial networks that fuel them. Standards and Partnerships are core to the central mission of the OGC. You could ask, however, is there a larger role for OGC in helping bring the full societal, economic and scientific benefits of geospatial information and technology into commercial and institution processes worldwide?
OGC’s diverse membership spans industry, government and academia from numerous nations. This diversity of participation results in unique collaborative partnerships across many different domains. With the wide reach of its membership, OGC offers tremendous opportunities for continued expansion in this area. While the OGC is viewed as the lead organization for developing technical specifications, it can likewise provide a greater leadership role in fostering a climate for collaboration. The willingness of OGC staff and members to work as a community using an open, inclusive, user-driven and fast process is a model that can serve the geospatial community well in many different areas. OGC is partnering with the ISO Technical Committee for Geographic Information/Geomatics, with the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association and many others to advance standards and interoperability. OGC plays a strong leadership role in broad interoperability efforts such as Empire Challenge and the Global Earth Observing System of Systems. These types of initiatives foster new collaborative interactions and set the stage for long-term agreements for interoperability. By reaching out not only to the geospatial community around the world but also to those who will greatly benefit from better availability and use of geospatial information and technology, we can help accelerate the adoption of open interoperable geospatial architectures and infrastructures and tap into the creative energies of others to stimulate new and innovative uses and applications. Collaborative environments are difficult to achieve and maintain over time. OGC has a proven track record of keeping a balance between a structured steady course and the rapid adaptation and assimilation of new ideas. As we address the opportunities offered in the future, we can do even more as OGC to foster a climate of collaboration and to fully enable organizations and citizens with the relationships, tools and geospatial data that can help make their lives better.


Two pilots flying different aircraft above Arizona have reported close encounters with an unidentified flying object (UFO). The sightings occurred within minutes of each other on Saturday near the US-Mexico border. ABC News obtained an audio clip of a conversation between the two pilots and the Albuquerque Air Route Traffic Control Centre. Read more US government is ignoring UFO sightings, says former Pentagon insider While around 37,000 feet above the ground, a pilot flying a small aircraft manufactured by Canadian firm Learjet asks the controller: “Was anybody above us that passed us like 30 seconds ago?” He responds: “Negative.” “OK, something did,” says the pilot of the Learjet plane. Another pilot then says: “It’s a UFO.” Minutes later, the controller contacts an American Airlines pilot flying an Airbus aircraft to look out for anything “passing over” in the next 15 miles. The Learjet pilot joins in, saying: ”I don’t know what it was, it wasn’t an aeroplane … the path was going in the opposite direction.” Seconds later, the Airbus pilot says: “Yeah, something just passed over us … I don’t know what it was. But it was at least two, three thousand feet above us. Yeah, it passed right over the top of us.” The controller later asks: “American 1095, can you tell if it… Read full this story

|Back to School clothing giveaways|
|Written by George Browning|
|Wednesday, 10 July 2013 00:00|
With the beginning of school fast approaching, area parents are again facing the high cost of clothing their children at school. To help the residents Clark, Floyd, Scott and Washington with part of the cost, the Salvation Army will be giving away clothing at the Salvation Army Thrift Store, located at 528 Little League Boulevard in Clarksville. The giveaway will be held on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 from 8 am to 8 pm.
Crawford and Harrison County residents are invited to go to the Corydon Thrift Store, located at 101 W. Highway 62, on Wednesday, July 17, from 10 am to 8 pm.
Now in its 23rd year, the giveaway is a program undertaken by the local Corps of the Salvation Army in an effort to overcome the high cost of sending children back to school. Any child or adult residing in Clark, Crawford, Floyd, Harrison, Scott and Washington Counties who is enrolled in school, is eligible to participate and receive 8 articles of clothing without cost. Participants only need to bring verification of school enrollment, or birth certificate, and proof of address.
The Back to School giveaway program has met a tremendous need in our area. Last year 1176 students were helped with clothing and 400 students received school supplies.
Persons desiring to donate merchandise should bring items to the Thrift Store, 2002 Grant Line Road in New Albany, or Clarksville or Corydon stores. The Thrift stores are operated by the Salvation Army and supported totally from donation of merchandise from the community.
The donated merchandise is sold during normal store hours, and the proceeds realized are used to support the Army’s community service. In addition to selling merchandise, the Army uses the Thrift Store as a source for supplying clothing and household goods without cost to families in need.

Thousands of illegal-immigrant minors—perhaps as many as 18,000 or more—are currently crammed into temporary border facilities in southern Texas as Republicans in Congress, as well as the media, press the Biden administration not just on greater transparency about the growing humanitarian and immigration crisis but on solving the problems, period.
Related: New Images Show True Extent of Border Emergency
The administration is not allowing reporters or media cameras inside the facilities to show the American people exactly what’s happening. Yet a group of GOP senators who traveled to the border last week held a press conference about their findings, with some releasing shocking photos and videos of the cramped, crowded conditions.
“Democrats like to pretend their open-borders policies are somehow humane,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tweeted over the weekend about the situation. “There’s nothing humane about what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are doing … This is a humanitarian, health, and national security crisis.”
Cruz, along with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) and 15 other GOP senators, were among those who saw the facilities firsthand and spoke to the press about them.
Sen. Lankford posted the following tweets about his visit:
A new ABC News/Ipsos poll just out shows that 57 percent of Americans disapprove of Joe Biden’s approach on the issue—and 54 percent say it is indeed “a crisis.”
On news programs this past weekend, members of the media tried pressing the administration on these issues, with White House press secretary Jen Psaki insisting on “Fox News Sunday,” “We want to provide access into the border patrol facilities. We are mindful of the fact that we are in the middle of a pandemic. We want to keep these kids safe,” Psaki added. “We are absolutely committed to transparency and providing access to media … and we’re working to get that done as soon as we can.”
But host Chris Wallace pushed back on those remarks, telling Psaki, “At this point, in allowing access to border patrol facilities for reporters, you are being less transparent than the Trump administration.”
Psaki pointedly also did not address—“in the middle of the pandemic”—the topic of overcrowding in the facilities and the clear inability for there to be any sort of social distancing measures or the like.
This past Thursday, Joe Biden appointed Kamala Harris as point person on the migrant surge at the southern border. Neither the president nor the vice president has, as of yet, traveled to the border to see the surge firsthand.

Meanwhile, Mark Morgan, former acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, told Newsmax TV on Saturday that the administration is allowing “ideological hubris make them ignorant”—and rather than heeding the advice of experts, it is ignoring them, leading to the crisis at the border,
Republican senators who visited several of the border facilities last week “were heckled by Mexican ‘coyotes’ across the Rio Grande,” the Washington Examiner reported of the trip, “and told not to take photos of holding areas crammed with children.”
Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) told the Examiner that “a Biden aide involved in the tour asked that he [Sen. Braun] delete his photos. Like others on the trip, he didn’t.”
“None of us would have gone down there if we were going to be muzzled,” Braun told the outlet.
Former President Donald J. Trump has said that he may be visiting the southern border in the weeks ahead.
Melania Trump, the former first lady, herself visited the southern border during the Trump White House years—and urged “both sides of the aisle [to] finally come together to achieve successful immigration reform,” as she said in a statement in June 2018 during a trip there.

I’d like to share a new paper I wrote:
Cocciolo, A. (accepted). Constructionist Learning in Digital Archives Education: Student Perceptions of Effectiveness. Proceedings of 73rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Information Science and Technology, Oct. 22-27, 2010, Pittsburgh, PA.
This paper explores if a constructionist learning approach to digital archives education can positively influence student perceptions of their learning. Constructionism is a learning theory that places students in the role of designers and emphasizes creating physical artifacts in a social environment (Papert, 1980, 1991; Kafai, 2006). This theory is used in the instructional design of the Digital Archives Creation Project (DACP), which is a major component of a new digital archives course offered to a class of students enrolled in a MSLIS program. Results indicate that students perceived strong increases in their learning because of their engagement in the DACP, particularly in terms of their skills, confidence, understanding of topics covered in other courses, and overall understanding. Factors that influenced these increases include the collaborative teamwork, the role of the facilitator or instructor, and individual effort. Results indicate that a constructionist pedagogical approach holds great promise for LIS education, yet further research is required.
I am excited (and a tiny bit daunted) to be offering the class “Social Media” next semester at Pratt SILS. A description is below:
Social Media (LIS-697-09)
Wednesday, 3:30-5:50 PM
The rise of the networked information environment, currently highlighted by such descriptors as Social Media and Web 2.0, and popularized by such web properties as Facebook and Twitter, will continue to profoundly influence the ways in which humans share information. Such technologies support the use, production, and circulation of knowledge in a peer-to-peer networked arrangement. This arrangement shares some aspects with other forms of communications but is most remarkable in its discontinuity from these earlier forms (for example, the hierarchical communication structure widely used in our lifetimes). This new structural arrangement, which will undoubtedly persist alongside other arrangements, has implications for information organizations and professionals, and goes far beyond, “should my library be Twittering?” Rather, the question this course will be guided by is: how might information organizations and professionals leverage the networked information environment to advance longstanding professional values, such as a commitment to democracy, community building, and individual efficacy and fulfillment. In effort to advance these values, students will engage in a collaborative design project that attempts to take advantage of this new arrangement.
Tentative course topics include: history and theories of communication, computer networks and infrastructure, social design affordances, identity and presentation of self, social networks, participatory culture, network analysis and measures, immersion, ubiquitous computing, Library 2.0 and survey of current uses of social media in libraries.
Field trips and/or guest speakers who work within the Social Media landscape will be included throughout the course.
I am teaching two classes this Fall at Pratt: Digital Libraries (LIS 693) and Library Use and Instruction (LIS 673). Here are the details on each:
Digital Libraries [ Download Syllabus ]
This course will cover the theoretical, practical and technical aspects involved in creating, using, and deploying digital libraries. Students will study the evolution of digital libraries, consider the relationship between digital libraries and their socio-technical environment, and collaboratively design a digital library or a new program or service related to digital libraries. Students will be asked to think creatively and critically about the future of digital libraries and where to best direct future development effort.
Library Use Instruction [ Download Syllabus ]
Education in libraries has focused extensively on: 1) bibliographic instruction (e.g., teaching patrons how to use the library resources), as well as 2) information literacy (e.g., teaching skills needed to evaluate and use information). This course will consider teaching and learning in these areas, but also ask student to think creatively and critically about new areas where teaching and learning could be applied. Essential questions include: 1) how can we make libraries more educational?, and 2) what methods are best used to achieve this goal? Student will engage in a design project that will ask students to collaboratively design a “filter” to help individuals and communities deal with the feelings of “information overload,” and then teach the class how to use this filter.

Still others expect textbooks, digital or otherwise, to play a lesser role in the classroom of the future as digital learning continues to evolve and teachers and districts choose to create their own content.
Many teachers already pull outside resources such as YouTube clips, handouts and online versions of textbooks to augment classroom textbooks. Encinitas Union Superintendent Tim Baird said he’d like to see publishers break digital books into individual units so teacher can purchase a unit on photosynthesis, for example, but not have to buy the entire book.
“I think digital textbooks are an intermediate stopgap between where we are now with paper textbooks (and the future) but I think in this day and age, you don’t need something that starts on page one and goes to page 327. You don’t need a textbook model,” Baird said. “Ultimately, my hope is that the child will never have to take home a textbook again or it will be the iPad. … That ultimately we are textbookless and paperless.”
In their announcement, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski encouraged schools and companies to pursue getting digital textbooks into students’ hands within five years.
“We spend $7 billion a year on textbooks, and for many students around the country, they’re out of date,” Genachowski said. By switching to digital versions, “we could be spending less as a society on textbooks and getting more for it.”
Hurdles remain. Districts not only have to find the money to purchase the devices, they have to make sure they are providing robust wireless service to support the devices.
Coronado High has a bring-your-own-technology policy that encourages students to use their own devices at school. The campus has new servers but has struggled at times to keep all the mobile devices connected to the Internet. Things improved after they tweaked settings and instructed teachers and students to stay away from bandwidth-hogging sites that stream music and videos, Felix said.
Other schools also are launching pilots to test out what works and what doesn’t, testing both curriculum as well as hardware.
“It is not the thing that anybody wants to rush into. That’s why you are seeing pilots,” said Karen Wagner, learning resources coordinator for the county Office of Education. “They are phasing in this process so they can identify where the need is, where the successes are and then put those elements into place so it is successful on a larger scale.”
Educators say interactive textbooks can get students more engaged and encourage them to go deeper into subjects. Districts that roll out iPads and other high-tech devices to students worry about theft and damage. Baird said he’s been surprised at how careful his elementary students have been. Out of 1,200 iPads, he’s only had a couple of broken screens, and some of that damage was caused by staff members.
Textbooks for $15 or less sounds like a good deal — particularly when traditional books often run $75 to $100 — but the math may not add up for taxpayer-supported schools compared with colleges or private schools, said Greg Ottinger, director of online learning at the county Office of Education.

Grayson County Jail emergency over
SHERMAN, Texas (KXII) - The main freezer went out almost two weeks ago and was restored on Thursday.
On August 19, the Grayson County Jail administrator, Captain Sarah Bigham, received a call that the freezer was going out, and a decision needed to be made quickly. “[They] make all the meals for [their] inmates on site, and [their] kitchen puts out about 600,000 meals in a year, if that gives you any idea as to how much food [they] are required to keep on site to make sure and feed those inmates,” Bigham explained.
Bigham said that they had a temporary solution that lasted for the weekend, but that Monday, they needed a solution. That’s when Tyson stepped in. “They were able to provide a freezer truck to [go there] on site so that [they] would be able to store the food that [they[ needed for a facility [there] on site and not have to run back and forth across the city or across the county to be able to provide those meals to [the] inmates.”
The truck was 53-feet long, and ran on diesel. Bigham said that they were actively monitoring the truck and had help refueling it, when needed, which was about every 30 hours. Bigham wanted to publicly thank Tyson and the County Commissioner, Precinct two, Art Arthur, for “his guys [that] helped [them] throughout the week to make sure that [they] were able to keep diesel in that truck and keep it operating at premium levels so that [they] could provide those meals to [their] inmates.”
Bigham emphasized that it was a team-effort. “Those relationships that [they] have with the community are how [they] are able to solve problem quickly in this environment and make sure that [they] have what [they] need [there] on site,” she said.

Retired judge Remmy Kasule was Monday evening hospitalised after he collapsed.
The former Court of Appeal and Constitutional Court judge suffered a heart attack.
Solomon Muyita, the Judiciary Senior Communications Officer, said Kasule was rushed to Uganda Heart Institute (UHI) on Monday night.
“His condition has so far been stabilised,” Muyita told Daily Monitor.
Muyita explained that the doctors did a minor operation to remove a blood clot out of his system.
“His heart is fine and he is likely to be discharged anytime.”
Kasule retired as a judge in October 2018 at the age of 70.
He was also one of the five justices that heard the controversial presidential age limit petition last year in Mbale.


(LEAD) U.S. condemns N. Korea's missile launches, urges Pyongyang to engage in dialogue
(ATTN: UPDATES with remarks from a defense department spokesperson, additional background, more information in paras 6-13; ADDS photo)
By Byun Duk-kun
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 (Yonhap) -- The United States on Friday condemned North Korea's latest missile launch, while calling on the recalcitrant state to engage in serious dialogue.
A state department spokesperson said the missile launches violated multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions.
"The United States condemns the DPRK's ballistic missile launches. These launches are in violation of multiple United Nations Security Council Resolutions unanimously adopted by the council, and threaten peace and stability in the region," the spokesperson told Yonhap News Agency on condition of anonymity.
North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles Friday (Seoul time).
The country has so far launched a total of 46 ballistic missiles this year, the largest number of ballistic missiles it has fired in a single year.
A defense department spokesperson said the latest missile launch did not pose any immediate threat to the U.S. or its allies in the region, while highlighting U.S. commitment to the defense of U.S. allies, including South Korea.
"We can confirm that North Korea did launch two ballistic missiles," Sabrina Singh, deputy spokesperson for the department, said when asked about the missile launch. "We have assessed that these launches, this event does not pose any immediate threat to U.S. personnel or our allies."
"But the actions that the DPRK has taken, again, further destabilize the region and our commitments to the Republic of Korea and Japan remain ironclad ," she added, referring to South Korea by its official name.
The North's latest missile launch came shortly after the U.S. Department of Defense released its National Defense Strategy, along with a nuclear posture review, in which it said a nuclear attack by North Korea will result in the "end of the regime."
Singh insisted the purpose of the review is to dissuade any use of nuclear weapons.
"We released a nuclear posture review because we believe that a nuclear weapon should never be used, and part of this review is to ensure that we are deterring other nations from using nuclear weapons," she said.
U.S. officials have said Pyongyang may be prepared to conduct a nuclear test "at any time."
North Korea conducted its sixth and last nuclear test in September 2017.
The state department spokesperson reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to engage in diplomacy but said the North refuses to do so.
"We continue to seek serious and sustained dialogue with the DPRK, but the DPRK refuses to engage," the spokesperson said, referring to North Korea by its official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"Our commitment to the defense of the Republic of Korea and Japan remains ironclad."

- Retirements in dance music are rarely permanent, and after making a big deal out of ending the label with its fiftieth release blowout, Will Saul's Simple Records makes a return a year later with Julian Smith's first go in 2012. Apparently October's "String Theory" impressed Saul so much he just had to break the retirement—and honestly, it's easy to see why.
"String Theory," a collaboration with fellow Bristol producer Borai, has something going for it a lot of similar tracks don't: a killer hook. The ramshackle array of rickety drums and nature sounds is held in place by a bassline that erupts into a dusty sample that's been pinched and pulled in unnatural ways. Once the whole thing gets going it's a chugging Frankenstein of a tune, all sorts of elements bubbling, bouncing and bobbing in a hectic manner that coheres to form an infuriatingly earwormy hook. "Tension Point" mates a brisk kick drum and nasty jacking bassline with monotonous chords stolen from some old Peacefrog record, a weird intersection of techno and deep house that nevertheless sounds completely natural in Smith's hands.
The flipside is given over to Dutchman Danny Wolfers for two different remixes of "String Theory." His remix as Polarius takes away the catchy hook and instead turns it into a heavily-filtered crawler bored through by a relentlessly arpeggiating synth. But it's his Legowelt remix that might be the highlight of the EP, putting the entire track on a treadmill, rendering that catchy sample almost unrecognizable. Twitchy, hyperactive and volatile, it's Legowelt at his best.

The embarrassed manner with which Indians treat sex education is pretty ridiculous considering the sexual violence against children we hear about everyday. These examples from around the world ought not to shock as much as they probably will.
Politicians are more colourful: While one has blamed Sex Ed for “corrupting young minds”, others allege that Sex Ed is a conspiracy by foreign NGOs.
Some well-meaning anti-Sex Ed crusaders have objected to the “pornographic” nature of the course material; we’re talking about sentences like “Conception occurs when semen with live sperms is deposited in the vagina or cervix and fertilizes a live ovum.” Pretty hot stuff, eh.
While grown men and women are still squirming here, some other countries seem to be considerably ahead. Take a look at these examples:
Case 1: Graphic… but true
Pages from a German elementary school textbook have been doing the rounds on the internet lately. The book is titled Where do you come from, and has come under fire for… well, its honesty. It educates children through an illustrated account of the relationship between two young lovers, Lisa and Lars.
Apparently this proved to be a bit much even for many of the generally progressive Germans, who feel that orgasms, even cartoon ones, are not entirely necessary for ten-year-olds to know about. Still, one cannot argue that there’s nothing particularly unrealistic in any of these pictures, and children are exposed to a lot worse anyway.
Case 2: Starting young
Chicago passed a policy this February that makes it mandatory for all its schools to begin sex education in kindergarten. The focus will be on anatomy, reproduction, healthy relationships, and personal safety. By the time the kids are in primary school, they should be sufficiently aware about inappropriate touching, and sexual abuse.
Any proposition to introduce Sex Ed in our kindergarteners’ syllabus will probably be shot down. We don’t need it; after all, child sex abuse is not part of Indian culture. Right?
Case 3: Watching porn 101
One group of sex ed experts in the U.K. feel that not all porn is bad porn. Children, they feel, need to be made aware that the bodies and actions depicted in sex in popular culture are usually very unrealistic and most definitely not the standard.
Their publication, however, has met with quite a bit of skepticism by those who feel that porn lessons are simply never a good idea.
Case 4: Being inclusive
One of the biggest drawbacks of Sex Ed around the world has been its consistent overlooking of the LGBT community. But in several places like Germany, (and even in Chicago as per the new policy) discussing sexual orientation is part of the curriculum.
In India and several other countries we choose to pretend there’s no such thing as homosexuality, but there is some cold comfort in the fact that we are not required to tell kids that being gay is a crime, like it seems in Alabama.

EU Aid Volunteers – Volunteering for Humanity – VfH
Theme : EU Aid Volunteers Deployment Project
Program : EU Aid Volunteers
The overarching objective of this project is to strengthen the capacity of consortium NGOs to participate in the EUAV initiative. This will allow consortium NGOs to apply with joint projects to calls for proposals; select and provide candidate volunteers with apprenticeship postings, deploy and manage EU Aid Volunteers in vulnerable, fragile or disaster affected regions and forgotten crises. As a result, consortium NGOs will be able to provide professional support to NGOs and people in need through the participation of well-prepared volunteers, outline importance of professionalism in humanitarian field and deployment, needs assessment and inclusive partnerships framework with partner countries in accordance with the EUAV initiative.
Objective 1: Increased capacity within consortium NGOs for humanitarian action
This objective aims to build capacity in member and peer organizations to reinforce knowledge of disaster preparedness and disaster risk reduction, contribute towards strengthening resilience and capacity to cope with humanitarian challenges in regions in need. The guiding rationale is to link up the development capacities, which has hitherto been the primary remit of consortium NGOs to date, with humanitarian work. The objective aligns with the programme call’s objective of building capacity for resilience and objective of linking relief, rehabilitation and development. By building capacity in these areas the consortium will be able to engage with ECHOs actions related to Improving Aid Effectiveness, Education in Emergencies, and Resilience.
Objective 2: Consortium NGOs become certified as sending organizations
This objective will aim to strengthen the consortium NGOs that do not already have certification to develop the capacity to obtain it.
Objective 3: Increased collaboration between humanitarian volunteering organisations
This objective will build and streamline NGO consortium learning, communication and dissemination through the development of an international network for humanitarian volunteering, assisting NGOs to improve volunteering standards to meet (EU) No 1398/20, need assessment and partnership.


Location services grow for smartphone users, survey says
Most US smartphone owners use their device's location service for directions or other purposes but only a small percentage share their location with friends and others, a survey showed Thursday.
The Pew Research Center's Internet Project survey found 74 percent of adult smartphone owners said they use their phone to get directions or other information based on their current location.
Among social media users ages 18 and older, 30 percent say that at least one of their accounts is currently set up to include their location in their posts, up from 14 percent who said they had ever done this in 2011.
The survey found a small drop in the number of smartphone owners who use "check in" location services: around 12 percent of adult smartphone owners said they use a geosocial service to "check in" to certain locations or share their location with friends, down from 18 percent in early 2012.
Among those who do check in with their locations, 39 percent said they did so on Facebook, 18 percent on Foursquare and 14 percent on Google Plus.
The survey highlights the increasing role of smartphones which can track users' locations, which raises privacy and safety concerns but also offers opportunities for tech firms to tell customers what is near them.
Some prior surveys indicate a number of mobile phone users have disabled location-tracking features at some point due to privacy concerns.
The findings were based on a survey of 2,252 adults from April 17 to May 19, with a margin of error estimated at 2.3 percentage points.

Intensification of Statin Therapy Rapidly Reduces Atherosclerotic Inflammation
Statin therapy produced significant rapid dose-dependent reductions in 2-18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) uptake that may represent changes in atherosclerotic plaque inflammation, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
The study randomized 83 adults with risk factors or with established atherosclerosis, who were not taking high-dose statins, to atorvastatin 10 mg vs. 80 mg. FDG-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) imaging of the ascending thoracic aorta and carotid arteries was performed at baseline, four weeks and 12 weeks after randomization. Target-to-background ratio (TBR) of FDG uptake within the artery wall was assessed while blinded to time points and treatment.
Overall, the study investigators observed a dose response in the reduction in FDG uptake between the high and low dose statin groups as early as four weeks after randomization. At 12 weeks a greater reduction in FDG uptake was observed in patients randomized to atorvastatin 80 mg vs. 10 mg, with significant additional reduction in FDG uptake within the most diseased segment (MDS) of the index vessel (10.6%, [2.2%, 18.3%], p=0.01). In addition, significant, dose-dependent reductions from baseline were observed for total plasma cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides. However, no statistically significant, dose-dependent increases in HDL were observed.
"These findings provide evidence of a rapid reduction in vascular inflammation with statin therapy and provide new insights regarding the graded reductions in vascular plaque activity as it relates to increases in statin doses," the investigators said. "The results also confirm the ability of PET imaging as a tool to detect changes in vascular inflammation early in the course of treatment, something not as well validated with other noninvasive imaging methods."
That being said, the investigators did caution that it remains unclear whether lowering plaque inflammation is a mechanism by which statin therapy decreases cardiovascular events or even whether reducing arterial inflammation translates into clinical benefit at all. They recommend future studies wherein imaging is embedded within clinical endpoint trials to evaluate the relationship between plaque inflammation and clinical events. "Should a relationship between reductions in plaque inflammation and reductions in clinical cardiovascular endpoints be proven then targeting plaque inflammation may find a central role in cardiovascular therapy," they note.
"The authors should be congratulated on performing this interesting and well-designed trial, which nicely demonstrates the usefulness of FDG-PET to study drug effect on atherosclerotic plaques in vivo," said Bernhard L. Gerber MD, PhD, FACC, in a corresponding editorial comment. "Further studies employing similar methodology will enhance our understanding on the mode of action and efficacy of new anti-atherosclerosis drugs."

The TEC-S311T Isotope Fob is a metal housing suitable for mounting a 3mm x 11mm glass tritium vial.
- Material: Stainless Steel
- Finish: Bead Blasted
- Outside Diameter: 5.0 mm [0.197"]
- Overall Length: 24.0 mm [0.95"]
- Split Ring Hole Size: 3.0mm [0.118"]
- Total Assembled Weight (without tritium vial): 2.4 grams [.085 oz]
- Total Assembled Weight (with tritium vial): 2.5 grams [.09 oz]
A single TEC-S311T Isotope Fob comes packaged with 3 rubber plugs for tritium vial containment (1 required plus 2 spares) and two 11.1 mm [7/16"] diameter split rings for attachment to other items.
5.0 Overall rating
On the image the S311T is on the right hand & the S311M is on the left hand.
The TEC-S311T Isotope Fob is a key chain fob specifically designed to hold a standard 3mm x 11mm self-luminous tritium vial. Tritium vials come in a variety of colors, and will glow for many years without requiring any type of "charging" from sunlight. This version of Isotope fob is very similar to the longer TEC-S323 and TEC-S360 fobs, however it is shorter in length and has split ring holes at each end. This allows you to attach the housing between two items, or in tandem, such as your key ring and keys. You can then identify objects by color, such as your work keys and your house keys. And since the vials are short, the added length to your key chain items doesn't grow significantly and you also get the benefit of a lower price point. It's the perfect way to color-coordinate your items in a cost-effective manner!
PLEASE NOTE: THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT INCLUDE A COLOURED TRITIUM VIAL.
Unlike the conventional line of glow fobs, the Isotope was designed around the use of a glass tritium vial. This makes it noticeably smaller than the standard glow fobs, and allows it to glow continuously without any type of charging cycle! The Isotope is a stainless steel housing, bead blasted to a uniform matte finish. There are 3 slots on each side of the housing to provide maximum tritium visibility, yet offers superior protection of the glass vial. Once the tritium is installed, you simply insert the included rubber plug (spares included) and attach the top split ring. This prevents the tritium vial from sliding out, yet provides an easy way to exchange vials if you want a different color.
Attach the TEC-S311T between your key ring and any attached item you wish to identify in the dark. You can clip it between a backpack zipper and flashlight, between one of our P-7 clips and a pocket tool, or even between the pull chain and pull knob on a ceiling fan...the uses are endless!

Habanero has launched a research study to help leaders quickly gain deeper insight into their organizational and employee wellbeing during these recent and continuing workplace disruptions. The study provides organizations with high-resolution insights into their employees’ current lived experiences, so they can zero in on real, practical action to support their people during this time and find opportunities to grow and thrive.
“We know companies are working hard to adjust to this new world,” says Habanero President Steven Fitzgerald, “so we’ve designed an agile approach to gain insight into what’s really going on for people that goes much deeper than surveys, producing robust results quickly.”
Working through disruption
This year has seen unprecedented changes in the way people work. What once were two-year digital transformation initiatives are now two-week total overhauls. Employees are adjusting to new schedules, working environments and ways of collaborating and connecting with each other.
All organizations are having to navigate a massive – and fast – movement to a new paradigm that is continuously unfolding.
We’ve heard from leaders and managers that they want to understand how to keep people healthy and organizational culture strong under these new and shifting conditions. The tools they have, like pulse or employee engagement surveys, are helpful – but not sufficient – for the current moment.
Three weeks to deeper insights
During the study, Habanero experience designers are guiding organizations through a series of empathetic research activities, including virtual workshops, interviews and listening labs, to help get beyond superficial issues and understand how employees are faring at a fundamental level.
Impact on culture
The study will help organizations to:
- Understand how new ways of working are affecting their culture
- See where problems with their culture might show up
- Identify strategies to refine their employee experience to keep their culture strong and employees engaged
- Develop a vision for a new and better culture, made possible by this unique opportunity for change
Through the study, we’re also aiming to build community among purpose-driven organizations, so we can support each other through ongoing workplace disruption. When we share back the aggregated results across the participating organizations, we will design the event to be optimized for learning, sharing and connecting among the project sponsors.
“We feel this is the highest impact way we can give back and help people through the crisis,” explains Steven. “It’s a unique opportunity to gain insight into the possibility for change right now. We’re excited to learn how we can help organizations navigate the risks while they leverage opportunities to make meaningful change and strengthen their employee experience and organizational culture.”

As we become wives and mothers, we can sometimes forget to do things for ourselves. We forget to put on our makeup and we struggle with making the day to day decisions that will impact not only ourselves but those that we care for. The one thing we should not forget is that we are someone other than mom, wife, or any other title. We are women. We are individuals and we have interests and hobbies that do not have to stop when we take on our titles. There are things you need to do for you.
What do you like to do?
For the last 7 years, I have taken on the task of going to college to earn a degree. It has fulfilled me, inspired me, and has given me a drive I never knew I had. I graduate next week and find myself almost lost with that comes next. I have decided today that I would like to join as a volunteer for The American Red Cross and also get back to my passion for writing.
Today I ask you to take a step back and remember what you loved doing before you were a mom, a wife, or maybe even just an adult. What makes you feel alive? What makes you- you?

Real Estate Lending Pushes Farm Debit Higher
The Kansas City Fed said strong growth in farm real estate debt pushed agricultural loan balances higher at commercial banks in the 2nd quarter. Outstanding farm debt increased by 5% from last year, the fastest pace in almost six years. While agricultural real estate loans continued to build, production lending rose more modestly following subdued demand in recent years. Loan performance continued to improve. Recent loan growth supported a slight improvement in the interest margins and income at agricultural banks from last quarter, but bank liquidity remained abundant.
The agricultural economy remained steady over the past quarter providing ongoing support to farm finances. With substantially higher production costs and weather risks, incomes could be pressured if commodity prices drop more notably. Despite some growing risks, farm balance sheets remained strong alongside high liquidity, and a sharp increase in farm real estate values also continued to support agricultural credit conditions.

Right-wing activist Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, testified to the House January 6 Committee for several hours on Thursday, reversing course after she initially refused to testify in the probe amid controversy over her alleged efforts to help overturn the 2020 election—even as her husband considered cases on it.
Thomas testified in person to the committee Thursday morning, with CNN reporting she sat for questioning for approximately four-and-a-half hours, including breaks.
Committee chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) told reporters Thomas answered “some questions” from the committee and reiterated that she believes the 2020 election was “stolen,” an allegation for which there’s no evidence to support.
Thomas declined to answer questions from CNN about her testimony and if she had spoken with her husband about “the election being stolen,” only saying, “Thank you for your question, I look forward to answering members.”
Lawmakers initially asked Thomas to testify in June after it was reported she sent emails to Trump attorney John Eastman after the election, as he was trying to help former President Donald Trump challenge the results.
After initially suggesting she would testify, Thomas then refused, with her attorney Mark Paoletta sending an eight-page letter to the committee arguing lawmakers didn’t have “a sufficient basis” to speak with her because she hadn’t done anything wrong.
Thompson told reporters last week Thomas’ testimony would “[add] to the body of knowledge about whether or not she had additional information as to what went on, on January 6.”
Thomas has denied discussing her work with her husband or having any influence on his work as a justice. Paoletta denied allegations that Thomas was personally involved with efforts to overturn the election in his letter to the committee and criticized its members as being biased against Thomas and her husband. “Given the animus already directed at Mrs. Thomas and Justice Thomas, I have serious concerns about the fairness of any interview,” Paoletta wrote.
What To Watch For
The House committee is expected to soon hold its first public hearing in months—and potentially its final hearing. The hearing was supposed to take place on Wednesday but was rescheduled due to Hurricane Ian. Thompson told reporters Thursday Thomas’ testimony could make it into the hearing ““if there’s something of merit,” CNN reports. The committee will then issue a final report detailing all its findings after the hearings have concluded, though it’s still unclear when exactly that will be.
Lawmakers initially declined to ask Thomas to testify before the emails between her and Eastman were reported, which the New York Times reported in March was due in part to objections from Republican committee member Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.). The Times reports there was resistance within the committee to going after Thomas because it could hurt Clarence Thomas’ reputation—three of his former clerks also have “major roles” in the investigation, the Times reports—and because committee members believed she was “a distraction from more important targets.”
Thomas has drawn widespread scrutiny for her links to the wide-ranging effort to overturn the 2020 election, which were taking place as her husband considered lawsuits challenging the election results at the Supreme Court. In addition to her correspondence with Eastman, Thomas also exchanged text messages with then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in which she urged him to challenge the election results, and sent emails to lawmakers in multiple states pushing efforts to contest the vote count. A group she’s linked to was also involved with the “fake electors” scheme in which GOP officials submitted false slates of electors to Congress claiming Trump won their states, and she has said she was briefly present at the rally on January 6 that preceded the attack on the Capitol building. In his letter to lawmakers, Paoletta denied that any of her efforts constitute wrongdoing: her correspondence with Eastman was merely asking him to speak to one of her groups, her texts with Meadows were her “simply texting with a friend” and the emails she sent to lawmakers were form letters that Thomas did not draft or edit herself, and she “simply pushed a few buttons,” Paoletta alleged.

"The Grey Council has betrayed us. What does a little blood matter now?"
- – Kalain
Alyt Kalain, a member of the Minbar Warrior Caste, was second-in-command of the Trigati, a Sharlin class warcruiser during the Earth-Minbari War. The Trigati was a member of the massive Minbari fleet at the Battle of the Line. Even as they prepared to snatch total victory, the ship commanders were told to stop firing--the Minbari were surrendering to the Earth Alliance. The Trigati's commander, Sineval, committed suicide rather than accept the surrender order. To honor him, Kalain and his crew likewise refused the surrender. They chose instead to abandon the fleet and the Minbari Federation, becoming fugitives.
The Trigati remained on the run for over ten years. Finally, at the beginning of 2259, they learned that Captain John Sheridan, the hated "Starkiller" from the War, was being put in command of Babylon 5. He went ahead to the station where he was first recognized by Hedronn, a member of the Grey Council who had come to warn the station about the Trigati. Kalain confronted Hedronn, claiming the Council betrayed the Minbari people, but did not injure him. Kalain then headed to Green Sector, knocking out a security guard and stealing his PPG. He then broke into Ambassador Delenn's quarters, though she was still inside a chrysalis at this time. Kalain then turned his attention to her aide, Lennier, who stood ready to defend Delenn. Kalain secretly had no intention of harming either of them, however, but merely wanted station security to arrest him, which they did soon enough. He offered no explanation while being interrogated, as he was merely playing his part in a ruse.
Not long after, the Trigati jumped into Babylon 5's space, demanding the return of their commander. Kalain, alone in his cell, committed suicide using a false tooth filled with poison. Kalain had hoped that the station would attack and destroy the Trigati, letting them keep honor and perhaps restart the war. However, his plan would ultimately fail, and the Trigati would destroy itself.
- Kalain's sole appearance was in "Points of Departure."

The New York Knicks have been struggling for years. They are one of the worst teams in the NBA, and they have not made the postseason since 2003. Now they have a new head coach in Mike Woodson, who is known for bringing championship teams to his teams. He has developed a good relationship with Tim Duncan, and their locker room is coming together.

Meth labs in basements. Bony boys scratching scabs on their skin. Headlines claiming ?One hit and hooked for life.? Megalomania. Hallucinations. Psychosis.
With the hurricane-like fury of methamphetamine fear flying around in the media, you have to wonder who?s actually having the ?psychotic episode?–the drug users or the rest of us. The parents who fill up on distorted news bites about a drug ?epidemic? while sipping their morning coffee. The public figures who focus on meth and its supposed link to crime. The people on the street who focus on the grubby kid behind powder and pipe, instead of on the things that lead him down the drug path in the first place.
Clearly, logic and reason–not to mention facts–have flown out the window when it comes to meth, making it hard for people to see the big picture. And the same holds true for other psychoactive substances, from alcohol to heroin to crack cocaine. What can we do to regain our composure long enough to identify the root issues and come up with real solutions to the real problems? For starters, let?s try taking a deep breath, focusing on facts, and looking at things with a clear head.
Ironic as it seems, a street kid?s decision to take meth is based on a kind of logic, or ?meth math.? You have a need or desire to get high + a shortage of cash + a lack of wheels to seek out substances = choose Meth, because it?s cheap, easy to get, and lasts around 12 hours. The claim that 70% of Vancouver?s street youth use Meth makes sense too. The drug not only has escapist qualities that help kids cope with cold, hard street life, but also keeps them awake for long periods of time. When you live on the street, the less you sleep, the less likely your stuff will get stolen.
(And by the way, the down-and-out are not the only ones who get hooked on meth?s promise of alertness. For people who do shift work or have to stay up for long periods of time–truck drivers, students, stay-at-home mothers, among them–the benefits of meth outweigh the risks of harm. Or at least they seem to at the beginning.)
Meth use patterns–like most other substance use patterns–are also more mathematical than many people make out. Drug or alcohol use is not the same as alcohol or drug dependence (often called ?addiction?). There are different types and levels of use. For some it?s simple experimentation. For others, alcohol or drug use leads to trouble at school, work, or with the law. And for a small number of people, substance use becomes a compulsive behaviour required for daily living. Yet people still cling to the belief that use = addiction, despite the fact that the equation makes sense in only a handful of cases. The majority of people who try meth, like those who try alcohol, do not go on to chronic or compulsive use.
With these facts in mind, it?s clear that the question isn?t ?How do we stop the meth epidemic?? The real questions are: What factors contribute to substance experimentation? Which ones make a teenager want to escape his reality? What can we do to help ensure experimentation and risk taking do not lead to harm and dependence?
For young people, drug and alcohol experimentation is linked to a natural desire to rebel and take risks as well as a desire to fit in to a peer group. The need to escape, however, may be rooted in isolation and loneliness, which result from marginalization and a lack of meaningful relationships with parents and peers. That feeling of not being significant, or not belonging, is what often fuels the fire of excessive substance use.
The risk factors that contribute to a kid?s decision to drink or take drugs include things like parental modeling of substance use, weak academic performance, low-self esteem, or a sensation-seeking personality.
Does this mean all kids with absent fathers or alcohol-dependent mothers are destined for addiction? Or that people from perfectly healthy homes never get hooked on substances? Of course not. But it does means that we have to take the focus off the substances and work on helping young people build and maintain meaningful bonds in their communities. It means ensuring teens grow up with enough protective factors–confidence and close relationships–to not find the oblivion of psychoactive substances particularly attractive. Or experiment without their ?having fun? turning into their ?having a problem.?
Logic dictates that we look long and hard at how we?re doing as parents and adult role models, rather than rant on ad nauseum about the evils of one substance or another. What is more harmful than the substances themselves are over-the-top messages that poison parents into thinking there is no hope for their sons and daughters if they so much as look at meth.
The fact is there?s always hope if we support each other.

Shinhan Engineering and Construction, a leading Korean builder, is financially backing a team of Korean doctors and other medical staff engaged in volunteer work in Libya, which is struggling to recover from a ravaging civil war.
Shinhan’s team of medical workers arrived in the country on Feb. 19 and has begun examining and treating local residents at the Zawiyah Teaching Hospital in Al Zawiyah. They will return to Korea on Feb. 25 after a five-day stay.
Shinhan’s team consists of 30 doctors, nurses and pharmacists specializing in various medical fields such as internal medicine, neurology, dentistry, orthopedics, pediatrics, neurosurgery and plastic surgery.
For the volunteer program, Shinhan has collaborated with the Zawiyah Teaching Hospital and the Korea University Medical Center. The company said they have also received support from Libyan government authorities such as the Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure, Ministry of Health, Housing and Infrastructure Board and Organizational Development of Administrative Centers.
Shinhan has been executing various projects in Libya since 2008. It has built or signed construction deals for houses and infrastructure, which totaled 5,000 in Al Zawiyah and another 5,000 in Tripoli.

GRAND LEDGE, MI -- The home of John Geddert, a former coach for the U.S. women’s Olympics gymnastics team, was raided Tuesday by state officials.
Geddert was the coach when former team doctor Larry Nassar sexually assaulted several members of the team. Nassar also saw athletes who attended Twistars, a gym owned by Geddert in the Lansing area.
Photos of officers entering and exiting Geddert’s home in Grand Ledge were shared by the Lansing State Journal Tuesday.
“As part of its investigation into gymnastics coach John Geddert, Attorney General Dana Nessel’s prosecution team has – with the help of the Michigan State Police and the Grand Ledge Police Department – executed search warrants this morning on his residence and Twistars, his coaching facility," said Kelly Rossman-McKinney, a spokesperson for the AG’s office. "Geddert was a U.S. Olympics gymnastics coach who worked closely with Dr. Larry Nassar and at whose gymnastics club, Twistars, many of the Nassar victims were abused.”
One of Nassar’s victims said her mom warned Geddert in 1998 about Nassar’s behavior and questioned why he was allowed to continue seeing athletes and patients. When she approached Geddert in 2016 about the issue after reports of Nassar’s behavior went national, the mom says Geddert called Nassar’s actions a “medical treatment” and that she should “do (her) research.”
Geddert has denied any knowledge of Nassar’s actions, but the AP reports several gymnasts reported being verbally abused by Geddert and were forced to see Nassar for treatments. Geddert was suspended by USA Gymnastics in 2018 before also turning over control of Twistars to his wife.
As for Tuesday’s raid, Grand Ledge Police Chief Thomas Osterholzer said officers “assisted the attorney general’s office this morning within the city of Grand Ledge," according to the Associated Press.
A lawyer who has represented Geddert in civil matters was unable to be reached for comment.
Nassar is serving 175 years in prison for convictions of sexual assault and possession of child pornography.

- Pyrethroid resistance in African anopheline mosquitoes: what are the implications for malaria contro...
Trends in Parasitology, Volume 27, Issue 2, 1 February 2011, Pages 91-98
Hilary Ranson, Raphael N’Guessan, Jonathan Lines, Nicolas Moiroux, Zinga Nkuni and Vincent Corbel
AbstractThe use of pyrethroid insecticides in malaria vector control has increased dramatically in the past decade through the scale up of insecticide treated net distribution programmes and indoor residual spraying campaigns. Inevitably, the major malaria vectors have developed resistance to these insecticides and the resistance alleles are spreading at an exceptionally rapid rate throughout Africa. Although substantial progress has been made on understanding the causes of pyrethroid resistance, remarkably few studies have focused on the epidemiological impact of resistance on current malaria control activities. As we move into the malaria eradication era, it is vital that the implications of insecticide resistance are understood and strategies to mitigate these effects are implemented.

- Does kdr genotype predict insecticide-resistance phenotype in mosquitoes?
Trends in Parasitology, Volume 25, Issue 5, 1 May 2009, Pages 213-219
Martin J. Donnelly, Vincent Corbel, David Weetman, Craig S. Wilding, Martin S. Williamson and William C. Black
AbstractSeveral groups are developing and applying DNA-based technologies to monitor insecticide-based disease control programmes. However, several recent papers have concluded that the knockdown resistance (kdr) genotype–phenotype correlation that is observed in a wide variety of taxa might not hold in all mosquitoes. In this article, we review the evidence to support this putative breakdown and argue that the conclusion follows from unreliable data or the unparsimonious interpretation of data. We assert that the link between kdr genotype and DDT- and pyrethroid-susceptibility phenotype is clear. However, we emphasize that kdr genotype might explain only a portion of heritable variation in resistance and that diagnostic assays to test the importance of other resistance mechanisms in field populations are required.

- Innovative applications for insect viruses: towards insecticide sensitization
Trends in Biotechnology, Volume 27, Issue 4, 1 April 2009, Pages 190-198
Bruno Lapied, Cédric Pennetier, Véronique Apaire-Marchais, Patricia Licznar and Vincent Corbel
AbstractThe effective management of emerging insect-borne disease is dependent on the use of safe and efficacious chemical insecticides. Given the inherent ability of insects to develop resistance, it is essential to propose innovative strategies because insecticides remain the most important element of integrated approaches to vector control. Recently, intracellular phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of membrane receptors and ion channels targeted by insecticides have been described as new processes for increasing the sensitivity of insecticides. An efficient method might be to infect host insects with recombinant viruses overexpressing specific protein phosphatases/kinases known to regulate specific insecticide-sensitive targets. This attractive strategy could lead to sensitization of the insects, thus reducing the doses of insecticides and increasing the efficacy of treatments.

The Anopheles culicifacies complex and control of malaria
Of the 50 or so species and varieties of anopheline mosquito in India, about 20 are implicated as vectors of human malaria. Of these, perhaps the most important and widespread is Anopheles culicifacies s.l. For the first 10 years of widespread DDT spraying, An. culicifacies remained susceptible to this insecticide — indeed, some thought it lacked resistance genes altogether. By 1960 however, resistance to DDT was apparent.DDT is a cheap insecticide, and its use is still favoured for mosquito control wherever it remains effective. But by the end of the late 1970s it appeared that DDT resistance in An. culicifacies (and other species) was a major barrier to effective vector control in several areas — particularly in parts of the northwestern states. Yet in other areas DDT still seemed to be effective. There was also increasing evidence from other studies suggesting differences in An. culicifacies found in different areas — particularly differences in seasonal prevalence and man-biting activity. We now know — as Sarala Subbarao discusses here — that An. culicifacies s.l. represents a complex of at least four sibling species. But in this case, one of the most important findings is that DDT resistance is mainly associated with species B which proves to be a very poor vector of malaria. Such findings, made possible by careful cytogenetic studies, have very important consequences for malaria epidemiology and control policies.
