Ebola patient, Dr. Craig Spencer, upgraded to 'stable' condition, WHO updates PPE guidelines
The condition of MSF physician, Dr. Craig Spencer, the Ebola virus positive patient being treated at New York City's Bellevue Hospital, has been upgraded, according to the hospital. "Based on our patient's clinical progress and response to treatment, today The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) is updating his condition to 'stable' from 'serious but stable'. The patient will remain in isolation and continue to receive full treatment."
Dr. Spencer contracted Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) while treating patients in Sierra Leone, West Africa. He is the 9th person to be treated for EVD in the United States.
In other Ebola-related news, the World Health Organization (WHO) have updated their guidelines on the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). The WHO states the updated guidelines aim to clarify and standardize safe and effective PPE options to protect health care workers and patients, as well as provide information for procurement of PPE stock in the current Ebola outbreak. The guidelines are based on a review of evidence of PPE use during care of suspected and confirmed Ebola virus disease patients.
The Guidelines Development Group convened by WHO included participation of a wide range of experts from developed and developing countries, and international organizations including the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Médecins Sans Frontières, the Infection Control Africa Network and others.

"These guidelines hold an important role in clarifying effective personal protective equipment options that protect the safety of healthcare workers and patients from Ebola virus disease transmission," says Edward Kelley, WHO Director for Service Delivery and Safety. "Paramount to the guidelines' effectiveness is the inclusion of mandatory training on the putting on, taking off and decontaminating of PPE, followed by mentoring for all users before engaging in any clinical care."
Experts agreed that it was most important to have PPE that protects the mucosa – mouth, nose and eyes – from contaminated droplets and fluids. Given that hands are known to transmit pathogens to other parts of the body, as well as to other individuals, hand hygiene and gloves are essential, both to protect the health worker and to prevent transmission to others. Face cover, protective foot wear, gowns or coveralls, and head cover were also considered essential to prevent transmission to healthcare workers.
"Although PPE is the most visible control used to prevent transmission, it is effective only if applied together with other controls including facilities for barrier nursing and work organization, water and sanitation, hand hygiene, and waste management," says Marie-Paule Kieny, Assistant Director-General of Health Systems and Innovation. Benefits derived from PPE depend not only on choice of PPE, but also adherence to protocol on use of the equipment.
A fundamental principle guiding the selection of different types of PPE was the effort to strike a balance between the best possible protection against infection while allowing health workers to provide the best possible care to patients with maximum ease, dexterity, comfort and minimal heat-associated stress.
In this situation where evidence is still being collected, to see what works best and on an effective sustainable basis, it was considered prudent to provide options for selecting PPE. In most cases, there was no evidence to show that any one of the options recommended is superior to other options available for healthcare worker safety.
Further work is needed to gather scientific experience and data from the field in systematic studies, in order to understand why some health workers are infected in the current outbreak and to increase effective clinical care. WHO is committed to working with international partners on these issues to build this evidence base.

dedication: For Les, and all the People's Republic of Glenfinnan
'The great white hope of contemporary British literature' - Fay Weldon
'Two days ago I decided to kill myself... Last night I changed my mind and decided to stay alive. Everything that follows is... just to try to explain.'
Daniel Weir used to be a famous - not to say infamous - rock star. Maybe still is. At thirty-one he has been both a brilliant failure and a dull success. He's made a lot of mistakes that have paid off and a lot of smart moves he'll regret forever. (However long that turns out to be.)
Daniel Weir has gone from rags to riches and back, and managed to hold on to them both, though not to much else. His friends all seem to be dead, fed up with him or just disgusted - and who can blame them? And now Daniel Weir is all alone. As he contemplates his life, Daniel realizes he has only two problems: the past and the future. He knows how bad the past has been. But the future - well, the future is something else.
'Engagingly told, cleverly constructed' - Time Out
'Glittering pockets of wit ... Banks is undoubtedly a natural' - the Independent
'The most imaginative British novelist of his generation' - The Times
Daniel Weir, who tells this story, is a six-foot-six retired rock star, formerly the bassist and songwriter in Frozen Gold, a Scottish band who made it huge in 1975 ...
And there I've got problems straightaway. Because no one made it big in 1975. It was an awful year for young groups. The closest thing we got to a new band breaking through was ... who? Sailor? Dr Feelgood? Fox? Pilot? †
So what kind of music are we supposed to be talking about? 1975 was the interregnum. Glam was dead, pub rock had passed its peak, having failed to make the breakthrough, punk was not yet born, and no new hard rock bands would emerge until the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (remember that?). Into this vacuum stepped the novelty acts: Telly Savalas, Typically Tropical and Billy Connolly all had #1 hits in '75, whilst other records to make the top included reissues and covers like 'Bye Bye Baby', 'Oh Boy', 'Stand By Your Man', 'Whispering Grass', 'Tears On My Pillow', 'I Only Have Eyes For You' and 'Space Oddity'. If it weren't for the fact that I was thirteen that year - and therefore pop music was, by definition, at its absolute peak - I'd have to admit that it was something of a disaster zone. Frankly it was chaos in the charts; certainly no place for a new British band to break in any lasting kind of way.
In a nutshell, that's my problem with this book. It lacks reality. To a casual observer, it may seem reasonable, but pop music is so obsessive about detail, so fixed in its cycles that a deviation this great simply doesn't add up. I understand that my obsession with 1975 makes for a fantastically superficial reading of a book by an author that everyone from the NME to the Daily Telegraph has heralded as a genius, but there you are. If you were after serious criticism, what would you be doing on a site called Trash Fiction?
Get past my reservations, of course, and you're on safer territory. For those like me who gave up on Banks when they realized how over-hyped his debut The Wasp Factory was, this book's something of a pleasure: nowhere near as good as those cover quotes claim, but a decent little story about someone who reached the peak of their life at far too early an age and has nothing much left to do but spend a few decades waiting to die. Well-written, even if - unlike, say, Fuel Injected Dreams - it ultimately seems more about pop culture than of it.
Banks went on to adapt this for a Radio Four serial, but really that's best avoided. He's a decent writer, and the lyrics to his songs aren't bad when read - you don't want to hear the things as well.
† Just out of interest, there was a major band that broke through in 1975, but I don't think they've got anything to do with this story. Kraftwerk scored their first hit with 'Autobahn', a record that was to change the face of modern music, but since they were (a) German, and (b) not rock as such, they don't count in this analysis. Anyway the self-indulgent posturings of Queen got more attention at the time.

Mysterious microspecies found on meteorites
Picture Courtesy: newsfirst.lk
Published Monday, January 28, 2013
The recent coloured rains experienced in several parts of the country will be tested by the visiting researchers to Sri Lanka from UK and US, The Island reported.
The scientists will submit a report after touring the places where coloured rains were experienced, Medical Research Institute (MRI) Director General Dr. Anil Samaranayake said.
"We still have not received the reports on the tests carried out at Harvard and Buckinghamshire Universities in the US and England, so we cannot say anything yet," he said.
The Island further reported that the experiments have revealed mysterious kind of microspecies on the meteorites fallen in Aralaganwila, Polonnaruwa in the North Central province recently.
Astrobiologist Prof. Richard B. Hoover of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Agency of US and Prof. Chandra Wickramasinghe of Buckinghamshire University of England are conducting further investigations.
Dr. Anil Samaranayake said this kind of mysterious microspecies have not been discovered from anywhere in Earth so far, as stated by the two professors and the nature of theses microspecies is abnormal.

Coronavirus has yet to meet a concert it did not like. Friends, even the fall festivals are starting to go down now. Despite being planned for October, the folks in the capital city have announced that the Austin City Limits music fest is being canceled due to coronavirus.
The group took to social media saying that the only responsible decision available was to cancel the festival. ACL fest was coming off a big 2019 after headliners Guns N' Roses, Cardi B, and Mumford & Sons all made it to Austin and brought some tremendous crowds with them.
It's been suggested that fans hold onto their tickets for next year. If that seems like a no-win situation to you, refunds are now being offered directly through the ACL Festival themselves.
Austin City Limits fest started back in 2002 and has since grown into an event spanning two weekends in the fall. You'll find the group has already saved the dates for next year as Texans hope to see the ACL festival return October 1st to 3rd, and October 8th to 10th in 2021.

Why 'Wintering' Is Crucial to Our Well-Being
Holy Planetary Conjunction!
Why You're Still Tired: Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith on the 7 Types of Rest We All Need
Tony Schwartz: "Relax! You'll Be More Productive"
The following is a reposted essay from The Energy Project
Think for a moment about your typical workday. Do you wake up tired? Check your e-mail before you get out of bed? Skip breakfast or grab something on the run that's not particularly nutritious? Rarely get away from your desk for lunch? Run from meeting to meeting with no time in between? Find it nearly impossible to keep up with the volume of e-mail you receive? Leave work later than you'd like, and still feel compelled to check e-mail in the evenings?
More and more of us find ourselves unable to juggle overwhelming demands and maintain a seemingly unsustainable pace. Paradoxically, the best way to get more done may be to spend more time doing less. A new and growing body of multidisciplinary research shows that strategic renewal — including daytime workouts, short afternoon naps, longer sleep hours, more time away from the office and longer, more frequent vacations — boosts productivity, job performance and, of course, health.
"More, bigger, faster." This, the ethos of the market economies since the Industrial Revolution, is grounded in a mythical and misguided assumption — that our resources are infinite.
Time is the resource on which we've relied to get more accomplished. When there's more to do, we invest more hours. But time is finite, and many of us feel we're running out, that we're investing as many hours as we can while trying to retain some semblance of a life outside work.
Although many of us can't increase the working hours in the day, we can measurably increase our energy. Science supplies a useful way to understand the forces at play here. Physicists understand energy as the capacity to do work. Like time, energy is finite; but unlike time, it is renewable. Taking more time off is counterintuitive for most of us. The idea is also at odds with the prevailing work ethic in most companies, where downtime is typically viewed as time wasted. More than one-third of employees, for example, eat lunch at their desks on a regular basis. More than 50 percent assume they'll work during their vacations.
In most workplaces, rewards still accrue to those who push the hardest and most continuously over time. But that doesn't mean they're the most productive.
Spending more hours at work often leads to less time for sleep and insufficient sleep takes a substantial toll on performance. In a study of nearly 400 employees, published last year, researchers found that sleeping too little — defined as less than six hours each night — was one of the best predictors of on-the-job burn-out. A recent Harvard study estimated that sleep deprivation costs American companies $63.2 billion a year in lost productivity.
The Stanford researcher Cheri D. Mah found that when she got male basketball players to sleep 10 hours a night, their performances in practice dramatically improved: free-throw and three-point shooting each increased by an average of 9 percent.
Daytime naps have a similar effect on performance. When night shift air traffic controllers were given 40 minutes to nap — and slept an average of 19 minutes — they performed much better on tests that measured vigilance and reaction time.
Longer naps have an even more profound impact than shorter ones. Sara C. Mednick, a sleep researcher at the University of California, Riverside, found that a 60- to 90-minute nap improved memory test results as fully as did eight hours of sleep.
MORE vacations are similarly beneficial. In 2006, the accounting firm Ernst & Young did an internal study of its employees and found that for each additional 10 hours of vacation employees took, their year-end performance ratings from supervisors (on a scale of one to five) improved by 8 percent. Frequent vacationers were also significantly less likely to leave the firm.
As athletes understand especially well, the greater the performance demand, the greater the need for renewal. When we're under pressure, however, most of us experience the opposite impulse: to push harder rather than rest. This may explain why a recent survey by Harris Interactive found that Americans left an average of 9.2 vacation days unused in 2012 — up from 6.2 days in 2011.
The importance of restoration is rooted in our physiology. Human beings aren't designed to expend energy continuously. Rather, we're meant to pulse between spending and recovering energy.
In the 1950s, the researchers William Dement and Nathaniel Kleitman discovered that we sleep in cycles of roughly 90 minutes, moving from light to deep sleep and back out again. They named this pattern the Basic-Rest Activity Cycle or BRAC. A decade later, Professor Kleitman discovered that this cycle recapitulates itself during our waking lives.
The difference is that during the day we move from a state of alertness progressively into physiological fatigue approximately every 90 minutes. Our bodies regularly tell us to take a break, but we often override these signals and instead stoke ourselves up with caffeine, sugar and our own emergency reserves — the stress hormones adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol.
Working in 90-minute intervals turns out to be a prescription for maximizing productivity. Professor K. Anders Ericsson and his colleagues at Florida State University have studied elite performers, including musicians, athletes, actors and chess players. In each of these fields, Dr. Ericsson found that the best performers typically practice in uninterrupted sessions that last no more than 90 minutes. They begin in the morning, take a break between sessions, and rarely work for more than four and a half hours in any given day.
"To maximize gains from long-term practice," Dr. Ericsson concluded, "individuals must avoid exhaustion and must limit practice to an amount from which they can completely recover on a daily or weekly basis."
I've systematically built these principles into the way I write. For my first three books, I sat at my desk for up 10 hours a day. Each of the books took me at least a year to write. For my two most recent books, I wrote in three uninterrupted 90-minute sessions — beginning first thing in the morning, when my energy was highest — and took a break after each one.
Along the way, I learned that it's not how long, but how well, you renew that matters most in terms of performance. Even renewal requires practice. The more rapidly and deeply I learned to quiet my mind and relax my body, the more restored I felt afterward. For one of the breaks, I ran. This generated mental and emotional renewal, but also turned out to be a time in which some of my best ideas came to me, unbidden. Writing just four and half hours a day, I completed both books in less than six months and spent my afternoons on less demanding work.
The power of renewal was so compelling to me that I've created a business around it that helps a range of companies including Google, Coca-Cola, Green Mountain Coffee, the Los Angeles Police Department, Cleveland Clinic and Genentech.
Our own offices are a laboratory for the principles we teach. Renewal is central to how we work. We dedicated space to a "renewal" room in which employees can nap, meditate or relax. We have a spacious lounge where employees hang out together and snack on healthy foods we provide. We encourage workers to take renewal breaks throughout the day, and to leave the office for lunch, which we often do together. We allow people to work from home several days a week, in part so they can avoid debilitating rush-hour commutes. Our workdays end at 6 p.m. and we don't expect anyone to answer e-mail in the evenings or on the weekends. Employees receive four weeks of vacation from their first year.
Our basic idea is that the energy employees bring to their jobs is far more important in terms of the value of their work than is the number of hours they work. By managing energy more skillfully, it's possible to get more done, in less time, more sustainably. In a decade, no one has ever chosen to leave the company. Our secret is simple — and generally applicable. When we're renewing, we're truly renewing, so when we're working, we can really work.

I Have Seen the Future and IT Works
data database infrastructure accessibility cataloguing cd-rom
Chris Batt Director of Library Services, Croydon, discusses Information Technology.
A title like that is going to take some effort to live up to. Whether taken in its original literal sense, as used by Lincoln Steffens reporting life in Russia in 1919, or as my intended double meaning, that IT will play a significant part in making the more abundant life, it remains quite a task to provide proof. It is a bold statement as a counterblast to the dystopic view of the future given at last year's lecture by Trevor Hayward. The choice of title was not mine: I might have added to it - I have seen the future and IT works, SOMETIMES!
On the poster promoting the lecture were three questions: will information be used for the good of individuals and society? What will the future hold? Will public libraries die, or lead the way to the Millennium?
The short answers are: don't know, don't know and yes! More is expected of me than that, so first I will examine the nature of the Information Society: is it just a marketing fad or a real social revolution? Second, I will define some landmarks along the pathway into the future: the indicators of change. Third, I will give some examples of those changes in action.
The Information Society
We can all agree on one thing about the Information Society. It has generated a great deal of information! And there has been no greater source of this than the European Commission. I will not dwell on the importance of the Commission except to quote from three studies that give a public library/public information spin to their messages: "public information as the new engine of growth" (EU High Level Expert Group. Final report). "…libraries have a key role to play in facilitating public access at local level to electronically available information…" (European Parliament Green Paper). "…public libraries will continue to play a crucial role as gateways to information resources, including those on the global superhighways." (Public Libraries and the Information Society Study). The components linking the studies, underpinning the Information Society movement, are the outputs of the union of information and communication technologies and their rapid diffusion, epitomised by the Internet. It is my view that current trends have the makings of a social revolution, perhaps on the scale of the Industrial Revolution, but very different. The Industrial Revolution was about using mass resources to deliver high returns to a few. In time the drift to cities produced better sanitation for a healthier and therefore more efficient workforce and other social goods, not least the public library movement.
However, mass production methods subjugated rather than enriched the individual. If it becomes a revolution, the Information Society will bring new individual opportunities that may not be fully comprehended for 40 or 50 years. Information is now being delivered direct to the individual on a scale undreamt of. This also offers, through discussion lists, email and self-publishing, new opportunities for the sharing of views and opinions with a global community.
But at present, we sit on the cusp of the change curve in a period of uncertain transition from the old to the new. Within the developed countries only a minority of citizens are purposive users of the Internet, but it is a large and ever-increasing minority and companies large and small are moving into Cyberspace as they scent a huge potential market.
There are four phrases that appear again and again in the literature and in the corporate goals of governments, both national and local: economic development; lifelong learning/education; democratic rights/community action; social inclusion. These are not only ideals for the revolution but the engines that will drive the change.
Landmarks on the Road into the Future
We live in a time full of signposts. The Information Society and indeed the role of the public library in the change process are becoming common parlance. Through various reports, documents and initiatives, the message is that information and education are once again to be valued as public goods and that there is going to be a clear sense of direction from Government.
The National Grid for Learning (NGfL) has many resonances for the public library movement. On-line resources, connecting institutions for learning, harnessing IT to improve the quality of life and removing barriers to learning are all strands of service which can be seen in the public library. The NGfL white paper makes a bold commitment to connecting all schools, colleges, universities and public libraries to the Grid by 2002. This statement alone ought to be cause for some celebration within the public library sector. However, Government has made an even clearer statement of intent by sanctioning the publication of New Library: The People's Network and then producing a response which makes new financial commitments to building the public library information superhighway. New Library: The People's Network proposes a national network connecting all public libraries. There would be minimum configurations of hardware and a national information policy exploited by a public library network agency. Three key elements of the network would be: Infrastructure (backbone and local networks); Content creation (education and lifelong learning, training and business for economic prosperity, social cohesion and national treasures); a national IT training programme for library staff. The cost of delivering all these elements is estimated at [sterling] 750m spent over seven years and the Government has initially promised [sterling] 50m for content creation and [sterling] 26m for training and pump-priming projects, with a commitment to investigate ways of building the infrastructure in partnership with the private sector. To some this may seem a less than fulsome offering but [sterling] 76m is not to be looked askance at and work to prepare guidelines for all aspects of development is proceeding at some speed. Ministers have realised what librarians have always known: that public libraries have served to bind communities together, have created opportunities for self-development not found elsewhere, that they remain highly popular with communities and have been recycling on a grand scale for 150 years!
Glimpsing the Future
Some of the building blocks of the future public library can be seen in the services we now provide in Croydon. We have tried to draw out of our successes some understanding of the shape and content of future services.
CD-ROM Network : the Croydon network now contains over 150 databases delivered through 15 public terminals in the Central Library and extending by high bandwidth connections to branches and schools. Access is available to national newspapers, business databases, government information and much more, at the touch of a button. There are few people using the CD-ROM resources who would return to traditional printed media.
Public Access Training Resources : developing new IT skills is an essential stepping stone towards the Information Society. In Croydon we will soon have access to PC training packages in all our branch libraries alongside free access to the Internet.
Croydon On-line : Croydon is developing a web site intended to be the engine of community development. There are now many public service sites around the country, but we are trying to use the medium of the Web to produce a model that will allow not just the delivery of information to the community, but the means of greater community activity and creativity. Through Croydon On-line you can access the library catalogue, send the library an enquiry, send questions and complaints to a variety of Council services and find information about living, working and studying in the town. You can make comments about what you think is missing from the high street and you can promote your business on the global network. Moreover we now encourage local groups to mount data on the site so that the citizens begin to own the network. We have an on-line poetry magazine maintained by a group of local poets who regularly perform live in the Central Library, and a multitude of other groups are beginning to be involved. (Croydon On-line: www.croydon.gov.uk) The strengths of the Web are the ease of updating compared with traditional formats for community information and the fact that we can point to anything that looks to be of interest. The goals of Croydon On-line relate to economic development, debate and democracy, ownership, learning and inclusion.
Lifelong Learning : Now a phrase of some significance, it sums up a new strand of government policy encompassing quality of life, new opportunities, re-skilling and equality of access. It therefore has relevance to the public library and is important for a particular reason. if we are not careful something of what makes public libraries unique will be lost in the headlong rush for the lifelong learning experience. There is a vision of lifelong learning as an extension of more formal learning structures, with awards, accreditation, recognition of achievement and quality assurance. One of the Fryer Report task groups, working under the umbrella of the National Advisory Group for Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning , said: "…access to learning opportunities requires resources for self-directed and autonomous forms of learning as well as access to educational institutions, progression routes and formal qualifications." There is nothing wrong with that but it is my firm belief that the public library can and does address a broader agenda, which is about learning for life rather than lifelong learning. People have been coming into public libraries and learning things since the very moment the first recognisable public library opened its doors. People already come into their library to find out about full time, part time or adult education courses. They expect to be able to get support material for those courses and in future the public library will play a vital role as an interface between the world of learning opportunities and community need. This will extend to the local library delivering networked learning material to those people who through choice or necessity will use the public library as the access point to resources such as the National Grid for Learning, the University for Industry, the new education entrepreneurs (Disney, Tesco, universities) and, of course, the People's Network. The public library becomes the community nerve endings of the education system.
Learning is not simply about following accredited courses to obtain qualifications. It is about gaining knowledge to lead better, more fulfilling lives. Such learning comes frequently in very small quanta. It may be finding out where something is sold more cheaply, or how to travel from A to B in less time. It may be broadening one's emotional experience by reading about the life of another person or locating the self in the context of other people, be they real or fictional. Public libraries are unique in the way that they can allow those tiny portions of learning to invisibly change people's lives. Nobody has ever measured the social good of such effects although public library managers know that users expect the library to meet their information and reading needs again and again and again. The invisibility of the process means that it has not featured in any of the national discussions about lifelong learning. Yet better managed, the continuous process of learning for life could make a significant difference to the lives of everyone, and there are many examples of the ways in which the public library can enrich this invisible activity. They are examples of very basic roles which public libraries have fulfilled for many years. Yet the learning for life role has not always been well-served even by the public library. Where it has worked well it has probably been more by chance than design. In the future we have the opportunity to create new services around the emerging media.
The wired public library will give access to a world of documentation that can be searched and downloaded to a local terminal. While the economics of such new opportunities may not be fully worked out, the benefits will be great. Joining the global shared interest group demonstrates that the enquirer has a body of knowledge of value to others. To achieve such equality and opportunity is what the networked society will be about and it is to such change that the public library should be committed.
All those trivial questions like: who's that French artist with spots? How dense is a house? What is Sanderstead for? What was Elvis Presley's favourite aftershave? Are these the sort of questions that should be answered by services provided as public goods? My answer is that we cannot readily judge whether or not the questions are trivial, or why they are asked and what value the answer will add to the life of the questioner. Such questions (all of them are real) sit at the heart of the role of the public library as the community knowledge bank. In future we will be better placed to give answers with less cost.
The Web already forms an integral part of the services in some public libraries as staff and public use it as an encyclopaedia on everything. In addition, of course, one of the hidden strengths of the People's Network will be the connection of people to other people as well as to information. Email services such as Stumpers and Ask a Librarian form meta-brains as the knowledge of librarians can be brought to bear on intractable problems. No other technology can bring such immediate connectivity between people across the face of the globe.
To see the Future you Have to Look in the Right Direction
Some readers will rightly argue that there is nothing particularly new about anything I have said. True, but progress comes generally through the repackaging of things we already do and know. We need to know where to look and what paths to follow.
If we are to see revolutionary change in the emergent Information Society it will be within our own communities. It will be a revolution that is at once global and local. People will change their behaviours locally as they connect to global networks. Connectivity will be a right giving access to resources, people and opportunities. While we may wonder what a room full of empowered citizens would be like, the fact that more people will be able to express opinions when they wish to will change the local democratic process.
I believe that much of that change will be mentored and managed by the public library, where concepts such as economic development, learning for life, citizenship and equality of access have resonance for what public libraries have done successfully for a long, long time. While change is needed now, it will be a long time before the public library as a place disappears. People will want to come to use resources, to borrow books to read (still better information technology than the computer in many situations), to get advice from a real person and just be around other people - the public library has been and will be a convivial meeting place. At the same time those public library services will need to migrate into cyberspace; to allow 24 hour access to information and advice from anywhere, and to ease community access into the diverse world of the information and learning that will be available - the global meeting place for the local community.
So, What Does it all Mean?
Where are we are now on the continuum of change and what should we be doing as information workers? There is a growing diversity of resources to choose from so we must widen our selection processes and decide on the right medium for the right situation. The old is not always bad, the new not always good: we must be selective and critical. Now is the time to experiment. If we do not start now others will get to the high ground first. Obviously, content creation will be everything and management will be for the citizen. Both physical and financial accessibility will be crucial, and space and place will co-exist. New opportunities will emerge from traditional models and we must cherish the tradition of the public library. The stability and continuity of the institution are critical to community health.
Learning for life is not just remote access to traditional education. It is about enabling everyone to grow, through formal and personal learning, how they want to, when they want to and where they want to. To do this a national information policy is vital. Without a national information policy we will face competition between networks and services that will merely serve to weaken the magic that I have tried to describe. Every element of the library and information sector will need to converge if we are to produce real added value for everyone. Whatever the future public library looks like and whoever runs it, I want it positioned to be nothing less than the heart and the brain of the information society.

Lest I give the impression that it is all doom and gloom having a kid with a disability – here is our reality to provide some needed balance. YES systems are BAD. YES some people who say they will help you DO NOT HELP YOU and this is especially BAD.
But also YES some systems are good, like most things to do with recreation, which are easy to access, and FUN. Aaron plays Challenger Baseball, which is the most awesomely organized recreation activity for kids with disabilities EVER. You show up with your kid, whatever age, whatever difference they have, and they get assigned a peer buddy to hang out with and they have FUN. I do not have to get my pediatrician to fill out a form proving Aaron has Down syndrome or have a psychologist administer an IQ test for Aaron to play baseball. (Sarcasm intended).
(Special Olympics is pretty good, although they demand a cervical spine x-ray for kids with Ds – an x-ray that isn't even relevant anymore).
I don't see Challenger Baseball or Special Olympics as anything 'special' – I firmly believe that my kid should play sports as easily as any typically-developing kid can. Challenger, in particular, makes it easy for this to happen – for my kid to be active, be part of a team, learn some skills and have fun. There is another group in Vancouver called Soccer Dogs that has a similar philosophy.
This past month has been crammed with some extraordinary activities for Aaron because he has a disability. I'm totally ok with that, considering all the cursing and struggle he has in the health and school systems – any perks? Bring 'em on.
The school arranged a day at the Playland at the PNE, which was sponsored by the CKNW Children's Orphans' Fund. That was super because it was adapted – shorter line-ups, lots of volunteers to go rides with kids. In Edmonton, Northlands has a similar event in July called Magic Monday.
There was some pizza and bowling action for the kids with special needs at school on Friday…and a Challenger Jamboree (more pizza) and we attended the Lower Mainland Down Syndrome Society picnic at beautiful Belcarra – there was a nature interpreter who took us families on a tour of the sea life, which was very informative for us prairie folks.
This is a photo of a super activity from Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services. Aaron and I received an invite from a lovely recreation therapist that I work with at Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children.
We felt very fortunate to be included in this fabulous event – which included even more pizza, real rides in real fire trucks round and round the block with the sirens wailing, and holding the fire hose and aiming at pylons, a building and (most fun) one of the Fire Academy students. My absolute favourite part of the night was seeing the fire fighters lifting kids up from their wheelchairs into the fire trucks for a ride. Now that was pretty special. I even got to go for a ride in the fire truck and I COULD NOT STOP SMILING.
I'm not even counting all the kindnesses, lollipops, cookies and extra stuff that I know this kid gets because he's Aaron. It is very important for me to pause and be thankful for the people who go the extra mile for our kids. Lucky? Yes. Fortunate? Yes. Blessed? Yes, that too.
The fact is that Aaron has a very good life – he is beloved and he is loved. And isn't that what we all want from this earth?

Wael Fakharany, Google 's regional manager in North Africa, speaks to The Wall Street Journal about the company's vision for supporting tech startups that can help revolutionize the way people do business in Egypt and the wider region.
WSJ: Can you tell us about the fund that Google set up to support local startups and entrepreneurship in Egypt?
Mr. Fakharany: First of all, we're a startup at heart, we're a large company in terms of growth over the last 15 years. We started in a garage. We have a pot of money specifically for Egypt's startups. In 2009, we established a fund worth $2.5 million. We have a deal with the government in which they spend $10 million promoting Egyptian products and services, primarily export, aviation and tourism. In return, we spend one fourth of the money they spent. We keep it in a pot to reinvest in the country.
Our first reinvestment was $200,000 spent on Ebda, or "Start with Google". In a nine-month process, we filtered 14,000 students. We toured the country, went to 11 governorates in Egypt, narrowed them down to 200 students. We trained and mentored 50. Then, we incubated 20 for three months and gave the first $200,000 to Bey2ollak.
WSJ: What other startup incubators is Google currently funding?
Mr. Fakharany: We also fund "Library in Giza". We have Flat6Labs, Sawari Ventures and the co-working space in the same building. We invested with them to basically create an environment where people can come with an idea, get incubated for six to seven weeks, get introduced to the stakeholders and then move out. The idea is to replicate this. I would love to have a Library Alexandria, a Library Assiut and so on.
WSJ: Many of the clients working with Google in Egypt are aviation and tourism companies. Is it possible that Google might shut its doors in Cairo because of the economic turmoil that hit the country after its second uprising in July?
Mr. Fakharany: Our business is very strong. We've been doing really well and 2013 was a very good year. We obviously work with clients, and some of them are in financial straits. If you look at how tourism is doing and how EgyptAir is doing, it's a tough period for them. So, they slowed down on spending. Obviously some sectors are doing really well and the internet is doing well with them, but some sectors are not.
WSJ: Which sectors in Egypt would you say are faring well despite the troubled economy?
Mr. Fakharany: Retail, in general, and fast-moving consumer goods are very strong. I think automotive is very strong. Travel and tourism are not doing very well in Egypt. Technology is doing well. Most of the sectors are doing well, except for those trying to sell a product or service to a foreigner.
WSJ: In September 2012, the Egyptian government submitted a request to remove "Innocence of Muslims", a controversial movie about Islam, from YouTube. As Egypt transitions through its democratic process, are you at all concerned about censorship?
Mr. Fakharany: We actually had a court order to remove this video from the Egyptian domain. We reviewed the order to make sure that the law complies with the country's constitution, and we removed it after about six months. We haven't had any similar requests so far. In such cases, Google reviews the request to make sure it complies with the country's constitution and laws and that it's not just for censorship purposes.
WSJ: Can you tell us about Google's new initiatives in the region to "Arabize" the internet?
Mr. Fakharany: Something that we're really proud of is Arabic Web Days. The purpose is to increase Arabic content on the internet, but useful Arabic content that touches your life, your day. Arabic is just 3% of the whole internet content in the world and there are far more users that are using Arabic than 3%. You have 141 million Arabic speakers online. The whole point of Arabic Web Days is to reach out to users and give them the tools to really Arabize the internet. We organize a month-long series of online and offline events to engage users and spark ecosystem partners across MENA to join our movement to accelerate digital Arabic content creation.

Saasfee is a label for media, design, art and electronic music. the group consisting of eight people combines the qualities of artists, programmers and musicians for projects in their very own saasfee style: artificial landscapes and projections that enable you to experience new virtual spaces, little soundtools that encourage you to participate and discover, the gleaming animations of stardax (the visual subdivision of saasfee) or the various musical projects. It is never our aim to just cover one area but rather to offer a threedimensional audiovisual "product" for active participation that involves the viewer and appeals to several of his senses. whether the projects are environmental installations, entertainment orientated activities or experiments in the world wide web, each time we try out new forms of aesthetics and presentation. Saasfee has been working together in this constellation since the year 1999, but the origins of this development are to be found in the beginning of the nineties: saasfee evolved out of the previous project arosa2000. at that time we moved into a shop in the heart of frankfurt which was little more than an oversized display window where we put on exhibitions on 12 square meters space. for two years (1994-1996) we had over 40 exhibitions by various artists. environmental installations that extended over the confines of the small shop into the street and the cellar rooms soon got arosa2000 recognized as a meeting point and pool for artists, musicians, designers and other people interested in this area. in 1997 we gave back the shop and started organizing bigger events. Arosa2000s "mobile parks" were looking for spaces which had once been declared public and municipal but had fallen into oblivion in frankfurt and were threatened by redevelopment and commercial interests. the former stadtbad mitte (an indoor bath in the middle of frankfurt) with its wavelike rolling ceiling a document of fifties architecture and aesthetics or the impressive wood-paneled halls and winding stairways of the volksbildungsheim set dignified but also modern and innovative background for our events. even at this time cooperations that crossed boundaries and attempted to combine several media had been the main concern of arosa2000. at the terrace.club more than 80 artists, cooks, musicians, dancers, fashion designers attracted an audience of over 3000 people with their performances, installations, concerts, readings and several other entertainment activities for one weekend at the casino of the ig-farben-haus in frankfurt. Much energy was put into the organisation and the consolidation of an aesthetical basis. the idea of a growing platform for art is still an important aspect, that is why saasfee cooperates frequently with different artists. but the main focus has now been put on the creation of our own projects and works, for example "the electronic dreamplant*", which already has a history of its own and goes back to the early nineties when stardax and pink elln (electronic music) collaborated for the first time. the combination of music and digitally generated pictures and landscapes was meant to inspire immersion and offer relaxation. in the meantime this cooperation has developed into a charming acoustic and visual project which can be heard and viewed on a cd/cd-rom. The interaction of visual and acoustic elements has already been established at various projects and concerts. current examples could be enjoyed at the art-live festival in torino/italy in the summer of 2001 and in the year 2000 as a part of the art exhibition "la beauté" in avignon/france. saasfee presented the "electronic dreamplant*" on 300 square meters. in a green-hued ambience with projections of over 15 meters length stardax conjured up a "biosphere" where guests were invited to stay: "prenez place et détendez-vous sur les petites îles electronique". acoustics were handled by pink elln and superpop. specifically designed seating invited guests on the "electronic islands" to immerse themselves in the various attractions such as electronic games and experimental soundtools. By employing lighting objects and light boxes and combining them with the virtual pictures of stardax and the projections a fitting seemingly organic environment was created. in june 2002 the live version of "the electronic dreamplant*" was shown at the forum stadtpark in graz/austria. With tourist 1.2 saasfee took part in last year's art fair, the "art frankfurt". as with the biosphere in avignon this project too was a media installation. a soft green island for sitting and lying down to experience virtual landscapes, animations, videos and sounds via video goggles and to control the virtual voyage with a rotary knob, same as you would do it with a radio dial. To make the visit to the audiovisual worlds more than just a glimpse but a rather a tangible product saasfee releases as a label cds and vinyl records of charming musical acts such as pink elln, sergej auto and superpop. the contributing artists are given an appropriate platform to release their work. on our website www.saasfee.de all the releases can be listened to and you can gather lots of information about the forthcoming activities of saasfee. and those of the past too. Saasfee are: alex oppermann, moni friebe, axel roessler, al dhanab, malte tinnus, philipp karger, maiken laackmann and valentin beinroth.

The people of your century no longer require the service of composers. A composer is as useful to a person in a jogging suit as a dinsoaur turd in the middle of his runway.
The rustle of the leaves in summer's hush When wandering breezes touch them, and the sigh That filters through the forest, or the gush That swells and sinks amid the branches high,– 'Tis all the music of the wind, and we Let fancy float on the aeolian breath.
The silent organ loudest chants The master's requiem.
The silver, snarling trumpets 'gan to chide.
The soft complaining flute In dying notes discovers The woes of hopeless lovers, Whose dirge is whisper'd by the warbling lute.
The soul of art best loved when love is by.
The stormy music of the drum.
The sweetest music is not in the oratorio, but in the human voice when it speaks from its instant life tones of tenderness, truth, or courage.
The time is probably not far distant when music will stand revealed perchance as the mightiest of the arts, and certainly as the one art peculiarly representative of our modern world, with its intense life, complex civilization, and feverish self-consciousness.
The typical rock fan is not smart enough to know when he is being dumped on.
There are German songs which can make a stranger to the language cry.
There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another.
There are three things I was born with in this world, and there are three things I will have until the day I die-hope, determination, and song.
There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together. The public doesn't give a damn what goes on in between.
There are two kinds of music; German music and bad music.
There happened to be guitar classes at the college, and there was a guitar teacher there with whom I used to play. In addition, I also would go out into country schools and teach little kids basic guitar and singing a few times a week.
There is a sadness in sweet sound That quickens tears.

Separated Conjoined Twins Express Gratitude To Rawlings 20 Years After Surgery
Lydia and Linda Awui with Former President Jerry John Rawlings
Formerly conjoined twins, Lydia and Linda Awui, have called on former President Jerry John Rawlings to thank him for his kind support in ensuring that the bill for their surgery, aimed at separating them, was taken care of.
The identical twins were conjoined at birth and were separated at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in 1999, three months after their birth.
Accompanied by their parents, Eunice and Benjamin Awui and the delegation thanked Mr Rawlings for intervening to ensure the cost of the surgery was taken care of when he was President in 1999.
The twins and their parents presented the former President with a plaque and adorned him with beads to express their appreciation for his support.
Lydia and Linda, who live in Odumase Krobo, have led a generally healthy life since their separation.
The twins recently completed their secondary education at Akwamuman Senior High in Akosombo and are hoping to study medicine at the university.
Dr Appeadu-Mensah, who was one of the doctors who performed the surgery explained to the former President that the two were joined in the abdomen and had a common liver.
He said there were two sets of surgeons and anaesthetists who participated in the six-hour procedure.
Former President Rawlings thanked the twins and their parents for the visit and congratulated the medical team who undertook the successful separation procedure for a "fantastic job".
He expressed his joy in seeing Dr Appeadu-Mensah, stating that, "I am so glad somebody is here representing such level of skill. It's always a pleasure and honour to meet people like you who always perform miracles. It's a real wonder they made it, listening to the statistics."
Dr Kwesi Senanu Djokoto, personal physician and aide to the former President said, "for us to see them 20 years on, living a very normal life is a phenomenon on its own."
He praised former President Rawlings for facilitating the surgery adding, "the surgery in 1999 was something to celebrate because the procedure spoke of the technological advancements of our medical personnel even at that time."
Dr Djokoto disclosed that conjoined twins are an extreme phenomenon occurring in about one in 189,000 births with approximately half stillborn and a third dying with 24 hours of birth.
