An IT expert, Mrs Adeola Fasubaa, has urged government to give the youths a voice in governance inorder to be able to contribute their quota to economic development.
Fasubaa, the Chief Executive Officer, Oasis Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) made the call in an interview with newsmen in Abuja last Wednesday.
According to her, if the country must ensure accountability and transparency in governance, the youths also should be given a voice to air their opinions.
“Accountability and transparency, also means giving the youths a voice to be able to tell us what they require of the older generation.”
Fasubaa said that the youths could be taught and mentored appropriately in leadership through internet dialogue.
“Because there is no way you can get to the younger people apart from through the social media; that is what they concentrate on and that is how we can get across to them.
“The young people are into all kinds of social media platform such as Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram and through these media we can give them a voice and raise better leaders tomorrow,’’ she said.
Fasubaa urged the telecom operators to bring down the prices of their products to enable the youths afford them and to include them as participants in national discourse.
She called on telecom companies to bring down the prices of their packages to ensure that the youths effectively articulate their problems.
“We know as adults that the issue of data is a problem and this is a hindrance for the youths; how can they have a voice if they don’t have access?
“So it is imperative that data prices should be reduced to enable youth’s involvement in governance.’’
Oasis Foundation is a UK based youth empowerment and advocacy organisation that engage in training and mentoring of youths in ICT skills to equip them to take up leadership positions.
FG Assures On High Digital Literacy Drive
The Federal Government has affirmed that its plan to attain 95 per cent digital literacy by 2030 is still on course.
Director-General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Kashufu Abdullahi, gave the assurance during the graduation ceremony of 50 children, including 10 Almajiri children at the Engausa Global Tech Hub in Kano recently.
The Tide’s source learnt that the Engausa Global Tech Hub is an incubation centre, currently working in collaboration with NITDA in Kano.
“These young children have been intensively trained at their early stage, using the Hausa Language in building their skills in digital technology, Computer Networking, Installation of CCTV cameras, Graphic Design, innovative creativity, among others,” he said.
Abdullahi also revealed that the centre in 2021, also trained over 700 young boys who were selected from various rural communities in the state.
“As a result of this intervention, in 2021, we have been able to expand the collaboration and we are going to do more this year to see how we can help the less privileged children to have access to technology.
“One of our mandates is to implement the policy under the National Digital Economy Policy for digital Nigeria to a logical conclusion in achieving the 95 per cent digital literacy by 2030”, he said.
He further noted that the government cannot do it alone, hence the need to partner with centres like Engausa to achieve the aim.
“We are also looking at how we can assist the children who have participated in this programme to start their own businesses,” he added.
Earlier, the founder of the centre, Mustapha Ringim, confirmed that the centre was out to bridge the productivity gap in young people, especially those who cannot make it to formal schools.
“I realized that there are a lot of things that I can offer to the community concerning breaking some barriers and bridging some gaps which are limiting the productivity of our youth at the grassroots”, he said.
Ringim was of the view that the Almajiri children and the school-drop outs who cannot continue their studies due to lack of proficiency in the English Language, among other things was the main target of the centre.
“Language should not be a barrier to achieving one’s dream.There are a lot of developments in countries that are not using the English Language as a medium of learning skills, like European countries where English is not well-spoken, but technology, innovation and creativity are flourishing in the country”, he said.
According to him, English Language should not be considered as the only medium of learning skills or the only medium of prosperity when it comes to knowledge.
English Language, he reasoned, should not deprive someone of practising his or her skills.
IAUE To Invest In ICT Infrastructure
The Acting Vice Chancellor of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Pro. Okechuku Onuchuku, has said that the institution will explore opportunities in the growing digital space by investing in Information Technology infrastructure.
This, he said, will reduce the digital divide between the university and the rest of the world.
Onuchukwu, who dropped the hint recently while addressing the school community in his New Year message in Port Harcourt, commended the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, for his immense investment in the education sector, especially in state-owned universities.
He said IAUE under his watch would forge mutually beneficial institutional linkage programmes with reputable universities and research institutions around the world to internationalise the academic content of the university.
One way to do this, he explained, is to come up with innovative research works that meets global standards and ensure that such works are made globally visible.
“Our academics will be motivated to turn out ground-breaking research works and innovations that would enhance our institutional visibility and social viability.
“To enhance our global visibility ranking and competiveness, it is profoundly important that we upload all our research outcomes on the Internet for our colleagues in other climes to access and cite our works, just as we do theirs in our works.
“In addition, we must upload all undergraduate, and Graduate Projects, Dissertations and Theses online.
“To do so, we must ensure proper supervision of students at all levels and insist that their references are in conformity with current biographical methodologies”, the Acting VC explained.
To enhance this, he urged lecturers who are not conversant with global referencing to promptly enroll on the Google Scholar and ResearchGate platforms in line with global best practice “in this age of knowledge globalisation”.
While commending the level of creativity, innovation, enthusiasm and sacrifices of staff and students since his assumption of office in November, Prof. Onuchuku said more needs to be done in 2022 as the institution seeks to aspire to rank among the best in the country.
“With your support, I am very determined to build a University that would benefit all stakeholders in our affairs. We made important progress last year through some of the milestone pronouncements and policy changes I initiated on assumption of office.
“I am glad to note that these policy changes are already yielding positive dividends to general applause.
“As we begin the New Year, I count on your continued support to enable us pull through the hurdles on our way in grand style. I invite you all to please come on board”, he urged.

NIPOST Partners Egyptian Firm On Logistics Digitalisation, Job Creation
The Nigerian Postal Services (NIPOST) has signed a partnership with Egyptian firm, e-Gate Egypt, on digital transformation of logistics and last mile delivery chain services..
Postmaster-General (PMG) of NIPOST, Dr Ismail Adewusi revealed this in Abuja recently when the Chief Executive Officer of e-gate Egypt, Mr. Essam Alsaghir, visited NIPOST headquarters in Abuja to consummate the partnership.
Last mile delivery is the movement of goods from the warehouse, shelf or transport hub to its final delivery destination or the customer’s door step professionally known as ‘the last mile’.
Adewusi, who said that the partnership would help in addressing infrastructure gaps in the Agency, added that it would also assist in job creation.
According to the PMG, “the digital transformation of the post implies that from end to end, the customer can track the movement of his mails and his parcels.
“I think it is one area that we’ve really lacked some form of competitive edge.
“The signing of this agreement will also assist us in contributing to the vision of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration of lifting 100 million people out of poverty over the next 10 years”, he explained.
The PMG noted that with the agreement, NIPOST could engage many youths, thereby increasing job opportunities in the country.
While explaining the significance of the agreement, Alsaghir said digitally transforming NIPOST operations would fundamentally change the way postal services are delivered in Nigeria.
“When the agreement is implemented, the entire mail delivery system will be automated using driver mobile application. Customers can track the movement of their parcels through a mobile app.
“Our partnership with NIPOST will provide our customers with new technology and mobile app for a secure, easy and faster way to reach their clients not only for postal service but other transactions,” Alsaghir said.
He further said the partnership would help to generate money-making opportunities for many Nigerians, particularly young people.
me-generating opportunity, where citizens’ vehicles will be used. Now, every citizen with a vehicle will be a potential Courier Agent for the POS and private business,” he said.
The framework agreement is aimed at allowing Pan African Postal Union (PAPU) and stakeholders to explore and execute business opportunities for registered communication and digital postal services.

Hi, I bought a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (2nd Gen) to use with REW and my Macbook Pro (El Capitan) for measuring my loudspeakers. When doing a soundcard calibration the frequency response is somewhat curtailed (-3dB at 18kHz). Exactly the same result was obtained when measuring the response of my amplifier using the Scarlett. Although the cal is not required as I am using a UMIK-1, this will surely compromise HF when performing loudspeaker measurements. Any idea where I am going wrong?


Anheuser-Busch InBev, Coca-Cola Co call for "independent oversight" at FIFA
Anheuser-Busch InBev and The Coca-Cola Co are among FIFA's sponsors
In October, FIFA president Sepp Blatter was suspended following corruption allegations. Just before the announcement, sponsors called for the head of the football organisation to step down.
In an open letter, published yesterday, sponsors, including A-B InBev and Coca-Cola, said they wanted to "see FIFA effectively resume its mission of developing the great sport of football around the world".
Sponsors said there was a need for cultural change within the organisation. "Transparency, accountability, respect for human rights, integrity, leadership and gender equality," are crucial to the future of FIFA, said the letter.
According to the BBC, sponsors were initially promised places on the FIFA reform committee but they were later only offered seats on an advisory board.
"We are aware of the positive work that the reform committee has been doing on governance reform, but we still believe any reforms should be subject to independent oversight," said the sponsors. " It has also become clear to us that such independent oversight needs to run long-term through the implementation and evolution of the reform process."
The letter warned that action taken in this first round of reform proposals would set the tone, going forward.

Thank you so much for adding your name and/or organization to the Jewish community statement in support of increased and expanded nutrition assistance in the midst of the coronavirus crisis. You joined more than 650 Jewish organizations and clergy calling on the Administration and Congress to work together to provide federal nutrition assistance for food insecure Americans during this unprecedented time. The statement was sent to all 535 members of Congress as well as the US Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services, and the Administration for Community Living. Please find a final copy of the letter here. If you haven’t yet, please consider sharing from your organization using this Facebook post.
While we are heartened that the Families First Coronavirus Response Act passed and is now signed by the president, nutrition assistance continues to be a critical issue for those facing poverty and food insecurity in this country — and of course even more so at this moment. With that in mind, NCJW and Mazon have also created a petition for individuals urging governors and all policymakers to increase and expand nutrition assistance for all those struggling with food insecurity in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. We hope you will consider signing on to this as individuals and to share in your network. You can sign here through NCJW or here through Mazon.
Jewish tradition shares we are all responsible for one another. Sign the petition to call on our governors and all policymakers to show leadership and compassion and increase and expand nutrition assistance for all those struggling with food insecurity in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis at https://www.ncjw.org/act/action/mazon-ncjw-covid-19-response-petition-increase-expand-nutrition-benefits/

||Two English women struggle to survive and keep hope alive during the two World Wars. Harriet and Maeve meet on a bus, in 1914, just as the English are getting involved in the conflict that will escalate into World War I. The women forge a quick emotional bond, discussing Harriet's husband being called to duty and Maeve's aching loneliness. The war intercedes, however, and the women go their separate ways. Twenty-five years later, Harriet encounters Jeremy, Maeve's son, amidst the rubble of the German bombing of Coventry. He reminds Harriet of her lost husband, stirring long forgotten emotions as the two desperately search to find Jeremy's mother.
||A stunning novel of love, loss and redemption,Coventry was published to rave reviews and became an instant bestseller in 2008.The Gazette (Montreal) called it ?a small gem. . . . A beautifully sculpted, meticulously researched work.? The novel opens on the fateful evening of November 14, 1940, when from her post as a firewatcher on the roof of Coventry Cathedral, Harriet watches the waves of German bombers approach. As the city is consumed by firestorms, Harriet flees alongside a young firewatcher named Jeremy, in search of safety and Jeremy?s mother, Maeve. But Maeve has escaped to the countryside, and when she and Harriet finally unite, it is Jeremy they hope to find alive. Coventry captures the unspeakable pain of loss and the ways in which we remember those we love.

I have noticed a growing number of companies offering to measure nutrient levels and then offering a personalized treatment approach to address deficiencies identified. For example, I was asked by a member of the public what I thought of Spectral Cell Laboratories.
Spectral Cell offers micronutrient testing from white blood cells (not the usual from serum or plasma). They test for vitamin levels, some key minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, metabolites and fatty acids. I have asked the company for evidence that there is a relationship between identifying low levels of nutrients and benefit received from then supplementing with those deficient nutrients. They didn’t reply and I have gone through their brochures and website and can’t find any research on the predictive value of their testing. They appear to make assumptions and apply it to their products.
I have also been sent individual blood results from members of the public and asked whether the results can be used to direct the best treatment. Others contact me and tell me their nutrient levels are “normal” so their doctor told them there was no need for additional nutrients.
It is a reasonable question because there are many studies that suggest that people with psychological problems such as ADHD have lower levels of nutrients in their blood relative to the nonclinical population. What we don’t know is whether it is necessary to be deficient in order to benefit from additional nutrients than what you can get out of your diet.
So what does the research say?
Our lab at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand is one of a few that has specifically investigated whether nutrient levels are predictive of response to a broad spectrum micronutrient intervention. It is important to note that not many labs take this approach, that is giving a combination of nutrients together and then assess treatment response. Many researchers make the assumption that one must be deficient to benefit from nutrients, and therefore select people for the deficiency and only treat them. We treat everyone, regardless of identified deficiency, and then assess whether the deficiency predicts who will respond and who won’t.
Overall, our research shows that the effect, if there is one, is weak, and certainly not useful at an individual level as a good predictor of treatment outcome.
Here is what we did: We assessed some key nutrients pre-treatment via serum/plasma. We measured vitamin B12, vitamin D, zinc, copper, folate, ferritin, potassium, sodium, calcium, and homocysteine. We have looked at two data sets – an adult study and a child study, both comparing vitamins/minerals to placebo in the treatment of symptoms associated with ADHD.
Participants improved significantly on all outcome measures after exposure to the micronutrients for 8 weeks; 61% were identified as responders. But, there was no relationship between baseline functioning and baseline nutrient levels. This was a bit surprising given that studies have identified deficiencies in magnesium, zinc and iron in children with ADHD. Surprisingly, we didn’t find that these nutrient levels were highly correlated with ADHD symptoms.
Very few predictors were identified. We found that greater pre-treatment ferritin predicted who would be an ADHD responder. We wondered if those with higher ferritin had higher inflammation and therefore responded more rapidly to the treatment as the micronutrients may have improved inflammation.
Lower pre-treatment vitamin D predicted greater change on a measure of mood. This finding is not unexpected as low vitamin D levels have been associated with low mood. Pre-treatment copper gave us a signal, but it was weak and mixed.
It is important to note that while there were these small signals, there were still many people with normal levels of these nutrients who benefitted from the nutrient approach, only there were fewer relative to those with vitamin D and copper deficiencies.
No other relationships between baseline nutrient levels and treatment response were identified. In other words, zinc, iron and vitamin B12 pre-treatment did not predict who would benefit and who would not. Further, there were no specific demographic variables (age, socio-economic status, gender, marital status, education) contraindicated micronutrient treatment for ADHD in adults.
We identified that 49% of the children responded to the micronutrient intervention. Substantial nutrient deficiencies pre-treatment were observed only for vitamin D (13%) and copper (15%), otherwise most children entered the trial with nutrient levels falling within expected ranges. Lower pre-treatment folate and B12 levels, being female, greater severity of symptoms and co-occurring disorders pre-treatment, more pregnancy complications and fewer birth problems were identified as possible predictors of greater improvement for some but not all outcome measures although predictive values of all of them were weak. Lower IQ and higher BMI predicted greater improvement in aggression.
It is important to note that levels of folate pre-treatment for ADHD responders was within the normal reference range for folate (>8nmol/L). In other words, the blood tests did not identify responders as deficient in folate, just lower relative to nonresponders. Note though, that there were many children with higher B12 and folate who did benefit from the nutrient treatment. No other relationships between pre-treatment nutrient levels and treatment response were identified.
It is also important to point out that across two studies, replication did not occur and any findings we did observe were incredibly modest. As such, they could not be used at an individual level to reliably identify who might benefit from this treatment approach. We see this as good news as it means people don’t have to feel they need to get expensive testing done before trying nutrients. The bad news is that the search is still on to figure out why some people respond and some don’t.
Although not reported in these trials, we have also looked at the predictive value of nutrient levels recorded from hair samples and similarly, the levels were also not overly helpful at predicting treatment response.
Is the term deficiency accurate?
The term “deficiency”, as is often used in the ADHD literature when discussing nutrient levels, may be problematic. Although research shows that the ADHD group mean nutrient levels are often below control group means, the ADHD means are typically still falling within the normal reference range, potentially challenging the use of the term “nutrient deficiency” when attempting to investigate causes of ADHD and in relation to predicting response to nutrients. Given that reference ranges are generally defined as the set of values that 95 percent of the normal population falls within, this does not necessarily mean that these ranges are best equipped to identify what is required for optimal health for any particular individual.
Had functional ranges (the range used to assess risk for disease before the disease develops) been used in these studies, many more would have been identified with “deficiencies”. An important hypothesis which requires further investigation is that some individuals may have suboptimal nutrition for brain health despite having nutrient levels within the reference range. In other words, they might have a nutrient deficiency relative to their metabolic needs rather than relative to general population levels.

New Jersey Artelon Lawyers
We are not presently accepting new Artelon claims at this time.
Last week, victims of defective Artelon Spacer implants achieved a huge victory, when a Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas judge decided that all cases involving the faulty Artelon Spacers should be treated as a mass tort.
On April 12, 2011, Judge Moss approved a request made by plaintiffs’ counsel to coordinate these defective implant cases. The announcement comes as a relief for patients who have experienced problems with the defective Artelon Spacer implants.
With the streamlined process of the mass tort program, the court has recognized that the claims of these patients must be expedited within the justice system. Now, complaints will be handled as one unified program and managed by Pennsylvania’s Complex Litigation Center.
Potential victims of the faulty Artelon implants should know that a mass tort is not the same as a class action lawsuit. Class actions can consist of hundreds or thousands of faceless plaintiffs, resulting in impersonal treatment.
A lawsuit designated as mass tort is anything but impersonal. Individuals who have experienced problems with defective Artelon Spacers are encouraged to retain counsel to represent their particular case. Each claim should receive individual legal consideration and attention. Plaintiffs benefit from mass tort designation because it makes the settlement and legal process quicker, less expensive, and more efficient.
Artelon CMC Spacer
The Artelon CMC Spacer was developed by Artimplant AB and marketed by Small Bone Innovations, Inc. In 2007, the Food and Drug Administration approved the device for use in the United States.
The device was intended to treat early and mid-stage osteoarthritis that occurs in the carpometacarpal thumb joint. Osteoarthritis causes the cartilage to breakdown until the thumb joint can no longer provide cushioning for the bones. The Artelon CMC Spacer is supposed to provide a substitute cushion.
The implant only requires outpatient surgery. Doctors place a T-shaped plastic gauze near the base of the thumb at the wrist joint, where the first carpometacarpal joint is located. The spacer is “interpositional,” meaning that it goes between the trapezium bone and the first metacarpal bone.
Artelon CMC Spacer Failures
Artimplant AB and Small Bone Innovations, Inc., claim that the spacer is biocompatible and degradable. They contend that the device offers joint stability, faster recovery, and less pain.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer’s claims have not been born out over the last few years. The FDA has received numerous adverse event reports related to defective Artelon CMC Spacers. Moreover, recent medical studies have shown that the Artelon CMC Spacer is failing at a high rate.
On many occasions, patients have had to undergo painful revision surgeries to have the defective Artelon implant removed. Patients complain of inflammation and swelling. Other symptoms include:
- Shooting or burning pain
- Limited range of motion with hand
- Thumb has become misshapen
Some patients have even reported that the Artelon Spacer breaks apart while in the hand, requiring immediate secondary surgery. In many cases, these additional procedures require the surgeon to remove tendons from other areas of the body in order to repair the thumb joint. Still other patients have experienced permanently misshapen thumbs as a result of the faulty Artelon Spacer.
Free Consultation with Experienced Artelon Spacer Attorney
If you or a loved one has suffered from pain, inflammation, limited range of motion, swelling, or if your thumb has become misshapen, please do not hesitate to contact us. If you have experienced any of these side effects or had to undergo painful revision surgeries, you may have a valid Artelon CMC Spacer lawsuit.

A triad is a type of chord that only contains the essential notes necessary to make it a chord.
In order to create a chord, you need to play at least three distinct notes together (i.e. C, E, and G for a C triad).
But just so we're clear, a double stop is not a triad. A power chord is not a triad. And even if you're playing all six strings on your guitar, if you're only playing one or two notes, you still don't have a triad, let alone a chord.
But it is okay to think of triads as simplified chord shapes. In general, they are a little easier to pull off than open chords but still require the same basic skills.
Let's take a look at how to play triads on the guitar.
But first, if it's your aim to do music professionally, you'll want to check out our free ebook while it's still available:
Free eBook: Discover how real independent musicians like you are making $4,077 - $22,573+ monthly via Youtube, let me know where to send the details:
Triads In The Key Of C
Since a triad requires three distinct notes to be played together, this means that you will be playing three strings at a time.
But there are a few different groupings of three on the guitar, aren't there? There are basically four different combinations:
- The first, second and third strings.
- The second, third, and fourth strings.
- The third, fourth and fifth strings.
- The fourth, fifth and six strings.
It is possible to play triads on any of these four groupings, and we will be taking a look at each. But first, to keep things simple, let's look at your triads on the first grouping: the first, second and third strings.
All four of these shapes represent C triads (C, E, and G). But when you aren't playing these notes in the exact order (i.e. G, C, and E – the first shape in the above example), you get something called an inversion.
Let's move onto the next grouping of three: the second, third, and fourth strings. These are all C triad shapes as well.
And here's how to play triads on the third, fourth, and fifth strings.
Finally, here are your triads on the fourth, fifth, and sixth strings.
As a bonus, I will show you how to play the entire C major scale (C, E, D, F, G, A, and B) using triads, but just on the first grouping of three strings.
In case you're wondering, you just played the following chords: C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, and Bdim (where a small “m” means minor, and “dim” means diminished – all other chords are major). I'm not going to explain the exact theory behind this right now, but I thought you might want to know.
Having played through these examples, you should be starting to feel more comfortable with playing triad shapes. Don't worry too much if you're having trouble with some shapes – this is normal. With some practice, you'll be able to master them.
Songs With Triads – Search How To Play Them
There are plenty of songs out there that prominently feature triads. You should look these up and see if you can figure them out on your own:
- “Sunday Bloody Sunday” by U2: particularly the picked intro/verse riff.
- “Island in the Sun” by Weezer: the intro part is played with triads.
- “Talking in Your Sleep” by The Romantics: the higher, funky guitar part is played with triads. Check out the intro/verse riff.
- “Red Flag” by Billy Talent: listen to the clean guitar parts in the verse.
- “Dance The Night Away” by Van Halen: the intro riff uses a mix of single notes and triads. You won't hear Eddie playing straight triads very often, but he does tend to use them in his music quite a bit.
Learning riffs from these songs should give you a better idea of how to use triads in your own playing.
Using Triads To Create Riffs & Songs
It's quite easy to get stuck in a rut as a guitarist. You might find yourself playing the same types of riffs or rhythms all of the time. This isn't terribly inspiring.
When I find myself in such a space, I like to take a big picture view of the possibilities.
Even if you're just a beginning guitarist and you're learning triads for the first time, you still have single notes, double stops, and triads available to you. If you can add each to the techniques to the mix and keep things varied, you can come up with some pretty creative riffs.
Although I won't be talking too much about this, it's important to understand that there are certain chord combinations that work, and others that don't. When you're looking to create songs or riffs with triads, you have to look for (or hear) combinations that sound good together.
This is pretty easily achieved when you understand some basic music theory around key signatures, but that's beyond the scope of this lesson.
For now, I'm going to give you an example of a riff in the key of G.
I'll give a very simple explanation of what's going on here. In the key of G, the most commonly used chords are: G, C, D and Em. This riff uses triad shapes of each of these chords.
If you played this same riff through the entirety of a song, it would probably get boring fast. But it does make for a nice “hook”, and could even be used as an intro or a chorus.
As a bonus, I'm going to give you an example that combines single notes, double stops, and triads. With enough variation, repetition and some accompaniment, you could definitely create an entire song out of these riffs. You would probably want to put your own spin on it though. This example is also in the key of G.
Hopefully your eyes are beginning to open to the possibilities. Triads certainly are not the be-all-end-all of guitar or music, but they can spice up your playing, and can be quite effective in genres like Ska, Funk, Reggae, and even Pop or Rock.
From a theoretical perspective, the only chords that contain three notes are simple major and minor chords. When it comes to other chord types like dominant 7ths, major 7ths, minor 7ths, diminished and others, you may need to play four to six different notes at a time!
But it is still possible to “approximate” some of these more complex chords with three notes, making triads handy tools even when you're trying to play through difficult passages of music.
You should also know that it is possible to do more with triads than what was demonstrated here. I'm sure we'll have the chance to explore more together.

351MC Photography and Narrative – Session Two
On Wednesday 8th October 2014, I attended my second #phonar session which started off with a brief discussion about what we took away from last week. We then spent time, individually, listening to an interview with Fred Ritchin (which was conducted by our lecturer Jonathan Worth) whilst also taking notes. We then spent a small amount of time discussing the interview before breaking for #PhonarFood (a.k.a CAKE!). After we had a break, we then looked through a couple of people’s responses to last weeks task and simply discussed the purpose of it. To finish the day, we then had a brief introduction to the Adobe Audition software (again taken by Paul Adkins) that will be useful for this week’s task (which will be posted in a different blog post towards the end of the week). Below you will find the notes that I took throughout the day:
Our single-point-perspective has disappeared, which allows us to be able to read the large numbers of photographs that are being supplied by amateurs in this digital age
We should be able to look at multiple perspectives to make a meta-story.
Images are just data visualisations.
Fred Ritchin After Photography Guest Lecture:
(Please note, unless otherwise specified, all of the quote below are said by Fred Ritchin)
“If everyone starts doing this [fooling around with photographs], there will be skepticism about the photograph as a recording of the visible reality.”
“I consider photography to be a kind of consideration of appearances.”
“And just like a quotation in words, if you start to change somebody’s words, it is no longer a quotation.”
“This will look like a quotation, the photograph, but in fact it will be fabricated.”
“I think we have arrived at a place where photographs have lost much of their credibility.”
“What do we believe? Whose point of view is it? Whose side is it?”
“It’s very difficult now to depend upon photographs or videos without thinking of them as manipulations.”
“It’s the way god created man, but now man has the power to make the world into his or her own image.”
“Once a photograph was chosen, you could not go inside it, like you could a sentence, and add commas or change words or whatever. You could crop it, you could caption it, but you couldn’t really change it at that level of detail.”
“I worked briefly as a photographer, but as a picture editor, you have much more impact. You can argue for the right pictures, for the more interesting pictures, and hopefully you can witness it some of the time.”
“I’d be an editor of photographs but a writer of words.”
“I think the point of photography is not to celebrate itself, but the point of photography is to be useful in the world, to try to get us to a better place.”
“Serious journalism could not exist unless it was on paper.”
Jonathan Worth: “People experienced an image but saw a photograph.”
“With photography, if we just stopped thinking about it, the digital version of it, as just a more efficient way of working but as basically the same as analogue.”
“Digital photography does not equal efficient photography.”
“It’s a different way of expression oneself, it’s a different way of reaching audiences, it’s a different way of describing the world.”
“Sometimes it’s good to be a little more pragmatic.”
“If this is a revolution in media, we need to think in revolutionary ways.”
“Photography is really good at being reactive… But I prefer a pro-active photography.”
“How to make a hybrid of the two, the best of the professional and the best of the amateur, is a major challenge right now.”
“That’s why I wrote the book [Bending the Frame] in order to encourage these building of bridges into new ways of understanding the world and new ways of guiding ourselves as people to a better planet.”
If you listen to the audio of the Interview, you will hear that they also discuss a report that Adobe primarily released in February of 1990 (it has recently been re-released as a 20th Anniversary celebratory video). I have included this video below:
Is the image more trustworthy than the photo due to the almost infinite amount of data it’s made of?
“Digital Media has a different architecture to that of analogue, it is code based” – similar to that of time, time is no longer “mid-morning” but 10:23.
Week 1 Task: Alienated Sensory Mash-Up Discussion:
The purpose of this task was to think about ownership and authorship – how are you going to license your work to let others use it?

The DPRK for the third time in a month tried to launch a rocket
North Korea conducted another missile test after only a few hours after a special session of the UN security Council on the situation around the actions of Pyongyang.
TOKYO, April 29 — RIA Novosti, Yekaterina Plyasunova. The DPRK military has carried out on Saturday morning launch of a ballistic missile, which, according to the United States, South Korea and Japan, ended in failure.
Another missile test of the DPRK was held after only a few hours after a special session of the UN security Council, during which the U.S. declared the need to strengthen the isolation of the DPRK and its willingness to tighten existing sanctions and impose new restrictions, while South Korea has offered to seriously ponder whether the DPRK to remain a member of the UN on the background of provocative actions.
The third launch in a month and the third failure
According to the South Korean military, the launch of a ballistic missile was produced around 05.30 local time on Saturday (2330 GMT Friday) in a North-easterly direction from the area of Pucchan the province’s toll.
The first time, the data on range and time of flight dispersed, but later Japanese and American experts agreed that ballistic missile fell into North Korean territory within 50 kilometers from the launch site.
The type of missile is as yet not determined. South Korean experts do not rule out that the DPRK military could attempt to test Scud ER, that is, a missile with extended range. The U.S. military, according to local media, believe that it could be a missile with a medium range KN-17.
The latest launch of a ballistic missile was the third in a row in April, but, as in all previous tests failed
Military experts in Japan and South Korea do not rule out that the North Korean developers fail during the testing of solid propellant missiles.
The expected reaction
The reaction of the United States, South Korea and Japan were predictable.
Later, about an hour after the first reports and the missile launch of the DPRK spoke to journalists the Secretary General of the government of Japan of Yoshihide Suga, who called Pyongyang’s actions “a clear violation of UN security Council resolutions”
The representative of the foreign Ministry of South Korea said that North Korea is “playing with fire”, rejecting denuclearization, and once again warned Pyongyang that North Korea will pay “a price”, if you can no longer ignore warnings from the international community and will not stop provocative actions.
The President of the United States Donald trump wrote in his microblog on Twitter that the missile North Korea has been disrespectful towards China. In addition, as reported by the American media, Washington may start to force tougher sanctions against Pyongyang.
Tensions around the Korean Peninsula has increased notably in recent months in connection with a number of missile tests, North Korea and rumors of a possible new nuclear test. Some international experts Express the opinion that the latest missile launches, the DPRK began a response to a UN security Council meeting yesterday.
In turn, the Japanese TV channel NHK with reference to sources in diplomatic circles, spread the assumption that the launch of a ballistic missile North Korea could be timed to the first 100 days of the presidency of Donald trump.

Editor's note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape's Coronavirus Resource Center.
The FDA has begun reviewing data to potentially authorize a fourth dose of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines for the fall.
The planning is still in the early stages for a second booster dose, people familiar with the process told The Wall Street Journal. The authorization would depend on ongoing studies, which must show that a fourth dose would increase waning immunity and reduce the risk of severe disease.
As part of the discussion, U.S. health regulators want to find out if a second booster shot should be authorized for all adults or particular age groups. In addition, the FDA is considering whether the vaccine should target the Omicron variant or have a different formula. Health experts are also investigating whether a fourth shot could begin an annual COVID-19 vaccination program, the newspaper reported.
Targeting the fall for the second booster dose could make sense because many people get an annual flu shot then, experts said. At the same time, health regulators may need to consider a fourth shot sooner if another devastating coronavirus variant appears.
But some Americans may not want a fourth dose if they're tired of taking COVID-19 vaccines or remain hesitant about getting the first doses.
About 69% of the eligible U.S. population is fully vaccinated, according to the latest data from the CDC. About 45% of fully vaccinated people have received a booster shot.
Among those 65 and older, 89% have been fully vaccinated, and 66% have been boosted. Older Americans and those who face a higher risk of infection could be open to getting a fourth dose, the newspaper reported.
Researchers have debated whether a fourth dose is necessary, particularly against highly contagious variants such as Omicron or new ones that may emerge. Some reports have suggested that protection from a third dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine remains strong overall, though the risk of hospitalization increases over time.
According to a CDC report released 2 weeks ago, a third dose was 87% effective against emergency room visits and urgent care visits and 91% effective against hospitalizations during the 2 months after vaccination. But by the fourth month after a third dose, vaccine effectiveness dropped to 66% against visits to emergency rooms and urgent care centers and 78% against hospitalizations.
Without a third shot, protection against hospitalization within 2 months of a second shot was 71%, which fell to 54% after 5 months. Protection declined significantly as the Omicron variant became dominant in the U.S., the CDC researchers found, and they recommended that Americans "remain up to date" with vaccinations and boosters to protect against hospitalization.
While considering a fourth dose, U.S. regulators have kept an eye on research in other countries, particularly Israel, which has led the way in giving extra doses. Israel has authorized a fourth dose for certain groups, including people ages 60 and older, immunocompromised people, and health care workers.
In late January, Israel's Health Ministry announced that a fourth shot provided 3 to 5 times as much protection against serious illness and 2 times as much protection against infection, compared with those who were 4 months after their third shot.
Broadly, some vaccine makers have already begun preparing for booster shots to become an annual practice, the newspaper reported. Pfizer is testing a vaccine that targets the Omicron variant and has said that people may need an annual shot, with high-risk people such as the immunocompromised and older adults potentially needing another dose sooner.
Moderna also began testing an Omicron-specific booster shot in January, the newspaper reported, including among people who have already received a third shot of the original vaccine.
The Wall Street Journal: "FDA Eyes Second Covid-19 Booster Shot."
CDC: "COVID-19 Vaccinations in the United States," "Waning 2-Dose and 3-Dose Effectiveness of mRNA Vaccines Against COVID-19-Associated Emergency Department and Urgent Care Encounters and Hospitalizations Among Adults During Periods of Delta and Omicron Variant Predominance — VISION Network, 10 States, August 2021-January 2022."

By Clifford Webb Midlands Industrial Correspondent
British Leyland management’s determination to push ahead with controversial changes in ,working practices has run into immediate trouble. A strike by 50 Longbridge workers protesting at the withdrawal of their “togging-up ” allowances stopped production of the Mini and Allegro yesterday.
More than 5,000 workers were laid off last night. The speed with which management is introducing the changes, which are set out in a 92-page document, has surprised many. It was expected to wait until the last of the 18,500 on strike against the imposition of the pay and conditions package had returned to work. A further 1,600 voted to return today after a mass meeting at the Common Lane Sherpa van plant.
Only 3,500 Jaguar workers are still on strike and they are due to meet today. But what will be the consequences if they vote to stay out? Will Sir Michael Edwardes, BL chairman, carry out his threat to dismiss any of the 18,500 strikers who do not report for work today? Last night BL said: “We shall review the situation tomorrow when we know the result of the separate meetings of day and night-shift workers. It will probably be Thursday before we decide on a course of action.”
On the “togging-up” dispute a senior management source said that there was nothing to be gained by putting off controversial changes until a more opportune time.
“To wait is only to invite trouble when you are least expecting it”, he said. On the other hand there is evidence that in the tense aftermath of the strike some members of the Transport and General Workers’ Union are looking for opportunities for confrontation. They are still angry with their union’s withdrawal of official backing for the strike and are more than ready to renew the fight in localized guerrilla strikes which they believe they can control without the assistance of union leaders.
The Times has obtained a copy of the 92-page document. Appendix F sets out conditions under which payments will be made to men engaged in special working or extreme conditions. It lists only four occupations which qualify for payments ranging from £5 to £8.25 a week. They are paint-sprayers, wax-sprayers, under-sealers and lead booth operators.
That is a considerable reduction in the number who qualified previously. The 50 Longbridge strikers, for instance, are gas welders and body finishers. The company pointed out last night that a much larger number who lost their allowances had discussed the decision with local management and accepted it. Behind the tough stance by BL is an attempt to reduce the considerable amount of working time lost by men who, while receiving a “togging-up” payment as an incentive to arrive early to don their protective clothing, still insist on working the same hours as men who do not receive payment.
Vote to go back:
The only workers in the Oxford area who joined in the spate of stoppages over BL’s changed working conditions voted yesterday to end their strike (our Oxford correspondent writes). The strikers, workers in the tank shop at Oxford Exhausts, were the first group in the factory to face new work targets.

Who is jermaine jackson dating Online web cam skype to xxx girls
He was enrolled in the Birmingham High School and is the brother of the famous Michael Jackson and the fourth child of the Jackson family and has been hugely popular.
Jermaine has been known also for his dating details.
When the group left the Motown label and reformed as "The Jacksons", Jermaine stayed with Motown, due to loyalty to Motown founder Berry Gordy, whose daughter he had married, and was replaced in the group by youngest brother Randy.
He rejoined the group in 1983, and has remained with them since, through various breakups and reunions.
He has been known for his several celebrity relationships which have been talked about well in the entertainment fraternity.
He has been married thrice and has been divorced two times.
Unsurprisingly, Asa did tell us she and Jermaine are still going strong three years after they first got together, and she even said Jermaine is her soulmate.
Now we know why she calls him daddy and whips up four-course vegetarian meals for him on a regular.
The 23-year-old young lady is named Maday Velázquez and she's a very controversial reality TV star who was on a recent season of Gran Hermano, which is the Spanish language version of the Big Brother reality show franchise.
But their large family and lack of money ended their dreams with Katherine becoming a housewife, and Joseph, a steel worker at nearby Inland Steel Company in East Chicago, Indiana (his parents lived there before they moved to Gary in 1950).
As the co-lead singer of The Jackson 5 after his brother Michael, Jermaine sang notable parts of "I Want You Back", "ABC", "I'll Be There", "The Love You Save", "Dancing Machine", and many other Jackson 5 songs.
Not feeling that they were being paid fair royalties by Motown Records for their success as well as their desire for creative control, the Jackson 5 decided to leave the label and sign with Epic Records in 1975.
However, Jermaine decided to stay with Motown Records, citing loyalty to the company as the reason.

Janis was bought from my grandfather-in-law in February '06. He had owned it for twenty years, after buying it from the U.S. Department of the Interior, where it served as a Forest Service vehicle (this explains the bright yellow-orange paint in the interior).
They had very kindly bought a new 3-speed automatic transmission and built a 318 engine for it. I helped, but only in the final stages of the rebuild.
Since then, a variety of upgrades have been made, including a recent upgrade to the Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and intake.
The truck's wiring system is going to be soon replaced with a Painless generic harness.

Thyroid large needle aspiration biopsy is disregarded because it is thought to be associated with pain. This is in contrast with our 32 years long experience. We surveyed reports of pain in patients examined with fine needle aspiration biopsy (78, 87.2% women, mean age 59 years) or FNAB+large needle aspiration biopsy (48, 87.5% women, mean age 60 years). Each patient was questioned regarding a) no unpleasant sensation (score “0”); b) unpleasant sensation (“1”); c) mild pain (no analgesic used; “2”); or d) pain (analgesic used; “3”). The mean size of the needle used was for FNAB 22.3±0.7 or 20.8±1 gauge in the fine needle aspiration or fine needle aspiration plus large needle aspiration biopsy group, respectively (p<.0001). The number of percutaneous punctures was higher in the fine needle aspiration plus large needle aspiration biopsy group. However, the pain score in the fine needle aspiration biopsy or fine needle aspiration biopsy plus large needle aspiration biopsy group was not significantly different. Large needle aspiration biopsy after fine needle aspiration biopsy does not add any discomfort or pain and therefore in light of the demonstrable benefits, should be included in clinical algorithms for the evaluation of thyroid nodules.

Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the principal test in the preoperative selection of thyroid nodules . However, the performance of FNAB is compromised when there is inadequate cellularity or indeterminate cytological findings, arguing for complementary diagnostic procedures in these circumstances , . Many tests have been suggested, including large needle biopsy (LNB) . However, the 2006 clinical practice guidelines from the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists  have not recommended the use of LNB since this procedure is thought to be cumbersome, associated with pain and bleeding, and not associated with a higher diagnostic accuracy than FNAB.
More recent clinical practice guidelines  regarding thyroid nodules confirmed that LNB is not recommended.
As it turns out, clarifying the specific LNB procedure used may ultimately enhance the clinical algorithm for the evaluation of thyroid nodules. Traditionally, LNB provides tissue cylinders or fragments for conventional histological evaluation . These techniques can be grouped into two methods defined as large needle cutting biopsy (LNCB; or coarse needle biopsy) or large needle aspiration biopsy (LNAB) . LNCB techniques employ relatively large needles: 14 gauge 23/8 inch, 31/8 inch Silverman, or 14 gauge 3 inch disposible Tru-Cut disposable . The operator maintains sterility as a skin nick is performed to permit the insertion of the needle . The LNCB technique has been nearly abandoned because it requires a sterile environment .
The LNAB technique was first reported in 1930  and is very similar to that used for FNAB. No incision of skin is performed. Needles of different sizes can be used (usually from 18 to 20 gauge) according to the size and consistency of the nodule. In 1980, we started using LNAB with needle sizes usually ranging from 18 gauge for large nodules (>35 mm) to 22 gauge for small nodules (<10 mm) , .
This study evaluates whether LNAB adds pain to the thyroid nodule evaluation.
Materials and Methods
Seventy-eight patients (87.2% women, mean age 59 years) had a palpable nodules (63% single, 37% multuple nodules) examined only by FNAB. Another group of forty-eight patients (87.5% women, mean age 60 years) had nodules (58% single, 42% multiple) examined by FNAB cytology+LNAB histology. At a subsequent visit, each patient was asked to be clear whether he or she experienced: a) no unpleasant sensation (score “0”); b) unpleasant sensation (score “1”); c) mild pain (no analgesic used; score “2”) or d) pain (analgesic used; score “3”).
If the patients underwent more than one test, he or she was asked to provide an overall judgement.
Percutaneous Needle Aspiration Techniques
FNAB. One ml or less of local anaesthetic (lidocaine 2%) was injected subcutaneously. All aspirations were made through a single skin puncture over the nodule using 23, 22, 21 or 20 gauge needles. Cytological smears were air-dried for Giemsa staining or spray-fixed for the Papanicolaou method .
LNAB. No incision of skin is performed and the skin is anaesthetized as for FNAB. The syringe can contain heparin to prevent coagulation of blood around the tissue specimen. The needle is inserted into the nodule through the same skin puncture already made for the just performed FNAB. The needle is then rotated within the nodule so that the sharp end severs the tissue fragments, which are then aspirated into the barrel of the syringe. A simpler method to obtain tissue fragments is to perform the same procedure as for FNAB only more vigorously. Needles of different sizes (16–22 gauge, being the 16 gauge needle used only in rare very large nodules) can be used according to the dimensions and consistency of the nodule. LNAB provides tissue fragments of variable size depending on the needle size and nodule pathology. The tissue fragments are usually easily visible , .
The study was approved by Committee of the Medical Department, Pisa University. Verbal consent was obtained because LNAB is part of our routine work since 1980. A survey documented the process. Verbal informed consent was obtained from all participants. Verbal consent procedure was approved by Ethics Committee of the Medical Department, Pisa University.
The comparison between treatment groups was performed by non-parametric tests: Fisher’s exact test for qualitative variables and unpaired Wilcoxon test quantitative variables. For the score ordinal variables, the comparison between groups was performed using ordinal logistic regression.
Table 1 shows the distribution of the sensation score experienced by the patients in the two groups: FNAB or FNAB+LNAB. There were no significant differences between the two groups.
Table 2 compares sex distribution, age, number of the nodules, the size of the needles used for FNAB, the number of the repeated test (FNAB or FNAB +LNAB) and the sensation score. In the FNAB group, the distribution of nodule sizes was: up to 1 cm (55%), 1–2 cm (35%), 2–3 cm (7%), and >3 cm (3%). In the FNAB+LNAB group, the distribution of nodule sizes was: up to 1 cm (21%), 1–2 cm (46%), 2–3 cm (19%), and >3 cm (14%). In the FNAB group, the distribution of the needle size used was: 23 gauge (38.5%), 22 gauge (56.4%), and 20 gauge (5.1%). In the FNAB+LNAB group, the distribution of the FNAB needle size was: 22 gauge (34%), 21 gauge (9.5%), and 20 gauge (56.5%) and the distribution of the LNAB needle size was: 22 gauge (2.1%), 18 gauge (54.2%), 20 gauge (37.5%), 21 gauge (4.1%), and 16 gauge (2.1%). Sex distribution, age and the number of the nodules were not significantly different in the 2 groups. As expected, the size of the needle used for FNAB was significantly higher in the FNAB+LNAB group. The proportion of the patients who repeated the test was 37% in the FNA group and 60% in the FNAB+LNAB group (p = 0.016). The number of the tests per patient performed on each group was significantly higher in the FNAB+LNAB group (p = 0.0004). However the pain or discomfort score was not significantly different into the 2 groups using Wilcoxon test (p = 0.587) or the ordinal logistic regression (p = 0.589).
To our knowledge, there has not been any published data on disomfort or pain following FNAB, LNAB, or LNCB of thyroid nodules.
The results of this study confirm our 32 year experience that LNAB does not produce more discomfort or pain than FNAB. An increase in needle size from 25 to 20 gauge corresponds to an increase of the needle external diameters from 0.5 to 0.9 mm (or 0.4 mm difference) as shown in a previous study . However, in the present study, the mean gauge of the needles used for FNAB in the two groups were 22 (for FNAB) and 21 (for FNA+LNAB), corresponding to a very small difference of the external diameters from 0.19 to 0.24 mm, that is 0.05 mm .
The group who underwent FNAB+LNAB received more punctures and the proportion of multiple nodules was slightly higher in the FNA+LNAB group. However the FNAB+LNAB group did not experience more discomfort or pain. This may be due to the degree of subcutaneous anesthesia.
The statement that LNB is associated with increased pain and complications  is more applicable to LNCB rather than LNAB. In fact, significant complications, such as large hematomas requiring surgical intervention or laryngeal nerve palsy, have been reported in a few cases following LNCB but not after LNAB , . The tolerance and safety of FNAB and LNAB is supported by the present comparison study, a long standing experience on LNAB , , , , and microscopic studies on the dimensions of the needles used for FNAB and LNAB .
The benefits of incorporating LNAB in the diagnostic algorithm for thyroid nodule evaluation can be summarized as follows.
LNAB has been successfully tested in thousands of patients to reduce surgical interventions for benign thyroid nodules . LNAB has been successfully tested, and compared to FNAB, for reducing the number of inadequate findings following FNAB cytology , . LNAB has been successfully tested and compared to FNAB for reducing the number of indeterminate follicular findings following FNAB cytology , , , , , . LNAB has been successfully tested and compared to FNAB for reducing the number of indeterminate Hürthle cell nodules at FNAB cytology . LNAB has been successfully tested and compared to FNAB for the preoperative diagnostic accuracy of the thyroid nodules , , . LNAB has been successfully tested and compared to FNAB for providing a more abundant and suitable biological substrate for the determination of thyroid tissue tumor markers , , , , . The immunodetection of galectin-3 on LNAB histological specimen from thyroid nodules has shown higher diagnostic accuracy, especially specificity, than FNAB cytology , , .
In conclusion, the present study suggests that concerns of discomfort or pain following LNAB of thyroid nodules may not be generally applicable and therefore in light of the demonstrable benefits, LNAB should be considered as part of the diagnostic algorithm for thyroid nodule evaluation.
