Easing Brain Fatigue With a Walk in the Park - NYTimes.com
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/27/easing-brain-fatigue-with-a-walk-in-the-park
La science confirme : prendre le temps de vivre est bon pour la santé...
Scientists have known for some time that the human brain’s ability to stay calm and focused is limited and can be overwhelmed by the constant noise and hectic, jangling demands of city living, sometimes resulting in a condition informally known as brain fatigue.
With brain fatigue, you are easily distracted, forgetful and mentally flighty — or, in other words, me.
But an innovative new study from Scotland suggests that you can ease brain fatigue simply by strolling through a leafy park.
Réaction de Paul Woodward : http://warincontext.org/2013/04/02/how-science-devalues-non-scientific-knowledge
Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903), the father of American landscape architecture, didn’t have access to portable EEGs and for that and other reasons might not have been able to establish scientifically that the parks he designed were good for people. Yet the value they provided didn’t need to be proved through data. The simple testimony of the parks’ visitors was proof enough. Moreover, the principles of design he employed could not be reduced to quantifiable formulae yet they were teachable as an art.

La #culture_du_résultat dans ses œuvres : le scandale des listes d’attente à #NHS_Lothian.
NHS Lothian est l’une des régions du système national de santé, celle qui contient Edimbourg. Le NHS impose un suivi du temps d’attente avant traitement ou opération, avec des objectifs à tenir.
En octobre 2011, il a été révélé qu’une façon de respecter ces objectifs consistait à manipuler l’information en indiquant, au moment opportun, que le patient n’était pas disponible (socially unavailable…)
L’affaire rebondit régulièrement au fur et à mesure des révélations (une vague au printemps 2012, par exemple : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-18122115 )
Aujourd’hui, c’est l’organisme écossais de contrôle Audit Scotland qui présente ses conclusions.
Asked if manipulation was widespread, Audit Scotland points to the graph that shows use of social unavailability codes dropping in health boards around the country at the same time as the manipulation in NHS Lothian was exposed. This might seem to speak for itself.
Quelques exemples :
The single highest use of social unavailability codes uncovered was at the Western Infirmary in Glasgow in early 2011. There 70% of the patients on the waiting list for orthopaedic treatment were coded as socially unavailable. In addition, 40% of patients waiting for ophthalmology outpatient appointments at the Southern General were down as unavailable. Finding out why patients were given such codes has been particularly difficult in GGC where the computer system does not retain old data and there is more than one data system in use and the contract with one supplier has come to an end.
(…)
Use of social unavailability codes was also notably high in NHS Grampian, according to the report. In June 2011, more than half the waiting list for orthopaedic surgery was marked as socially unavailable. There were also times when a lot of patients seemed to have multiple periods of social unavailability recorded. Last August, 300 patients had four or more periods included in their wait. Perhaps more worrying still in the space of a couple of hours, the auditors found NHS Grampian staff marked 171 patients as unavailable, with all those patients becoming available again on the same date. The health board told them it was aware of the issue and said it had exposed a need to train staff as the wrong code had been used by mistake.
Si, si : as the wrong code had been used by mistake…

Sharp rise in suicides among middle aged men as recession takes toll - Telegraph

Hausse du taux de suicide au Royaume-Uni.
New figures from the Office for National Statistics show that the overall number of people taking their own lives jumped by eight per cent in a single year between 2010 and 2011.
Suicides rose among both men and women but the problem was most acute among men in their early 40s, where the rate rose to its highest level in almost two decades.
Among men in their late 40s and 50s, the suicide rate increased faster than at any point for 25 years.

Tanning Bed Cancer Risk Double That Of Summer Sun
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/255082.php
The scientists examined 400 tanning beds in the UK and measured their levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation was emitted at levels above British and EU guidelines in nine out of ten beds.
The average power of the tanning beds’ radiation was almost two times the suggested limit.
90% des 400 lits de bronzage examinés sont au dessus de la limite proposée dans les directives britanniques et européennes (apparemment la limite n’est pas impérative). La puissance moyenne est presque deux fois plus élevée que la limite recommandée.
Globalement, à durée d’exposition comparable, le risque de mélanome est deux fois plus élevé dans un lit de bronzage que sous le plein soleil méditerranéen.
Cependant,
Unfortunately, research has demonstrated that despite warnings, tanning bed usage is still on the rise.

Visualising the Rural
http://visualising-the-rural.blogspot.co.uk
Voilà encore une conférence qui promet d’être sympa
conference exploring current conceptions and misconceptions of rural space based on photographic visualisation
According to the Office for National Statistics (2009) almost 80% of rural space in England is inhabited (and worked) by less than 20% of the population (slightly different percentages for Scotland and Wales). Modern and contemporary arts and thought represent and reflect on urban life as an environment most of us inhabit. Consequently, contemporary life is often understood as a synonym with urban existence. Yet, the space of Britain, as an example within Europe, consists primarily of countryside. There are arguably vast unrepresented and unseen spaces and places.
This apparent lack of artistic and philosophical attention to the contemporary rural space can be said to have led to an alienation of country life. We have all seen idealised pastoral images used as a shorthand representation of farmland and the countryside. This romanticisation also underpins environmental dreams of purifying country retreats and smallholdings free from environmental guilt. Rural spaces tend to be seen as loci of escape from the human condition rather than expressing it. Consequently they are seldom the focus of cutting edge arts practice and display. However, the countryside is arguably an industrial space inasmuch as it is the location of food production and an ever increasing tourism economy, and therefore as much part of the same economic reality as urban work realms. Rural space is consequently a facet of the contemporary life-world, yet arguably not represented as such.

“My biggest struggle,” he says, “is to rehumanize the Palestinians. There’s a whole machinery of brainwashing in Israel which really accompanies each of us from early childhood, and I’m a product of this machinery as much as anyone else. [We are taught] a few narratives that it’s very hard to break. That we Israelis are the ultimate and only victims. That the Palestinians are born to kill, and their hatred is irrational. That the Palestinians are not human beings like us… So you get a society without any moral doubts, without any questions marks, with hardly public debate. To raise your voice against all this is very hard.”
Scotland’s Independence Referendum: All to Play For, Whatever the Polls Say
By Michael White
The Guardian
October 16, 2012
On October 15, Scotland’s Alex Salmond and British Prime Minister David Cameron signed a historic 30-clause agreement that would break up the 300-year-old union by allowing a referendum for independence before the end of 2014. While polls indicates that popular support remains weak, Michael White argues that “in turbulent times like these, too much can happen in the next two years to swing the result either way.” The Scottish case might in fact be symptomatic of a global trend: the economic crisis and unpopular austerity policies amplify the popularity of separatist parties and threaten long-time established states, as electoral successes have recently shown in Catalonia, Flanders and Quebec.
With the polls reporting that Scots are currently two-to-one against breaking up their 300-year-old union with England, the part-time unionist papers in London are already taunting Alex Salmond that he is engaged in “mission impossible” in seeking to win the referendum he agreed with David Cameron. Don’t you believe it; that is foolish, complacent talk.

Catholic Church: Scotland gay marriage bullies children as Nazis
The Catholic Church has alleged that children are bullied and branded as Nazis if they oppose marriage equality in Scotland
10 October 2012 | By Dan Littauer
John Deighan, spokesperson for the Catholic Church in Scotland said children are bullied and manipulated by the “equality lobby” over same-sex marriage
The Catholic Church has claimed that school children as young as 12 who disagree with marriage equality in Scotland have been branded as ‘Nazis’ and ‘bigots’.
John Deighan, the Roman Catholic Church’s parliamentary officer in Scotland, claimed that the Catholic Church and children are being victimized because of the planned Scottish marriage equality bill which is due to be put to the vote early next year.
He stated: ‘I know, for example, of children in Scotland, including my own 12-year-old child, who have been branded as “Nazis” and “bigots” because they have dared to disagree with the idea of same-sex marriage.’
Deighan made these comments in the European parliament in Brussels during a recent meeting of the EU’s most right wing parties, the group of European conservatives and reformists and the group of the European People’s Party.
Deighan warned the meeting that LGBT campaign groups, such as the Equality Network and Stonewall subject anyone who opposes their views to ‘intense levels of hostility.
‘People are increasingly being subjected to manipulation by what I would call the equality lobby.
‘This is a blatant attempt to manipulate the ideas and views of people, including school children, so that they become more intolerant of the Catholic message.’
Deighan also alleged that it is ‘very difficult’ to persuade politicians in Scotland to speak out marriage equality because ‘they are afraid that in doing so they will jeopardise their careers’.
A 2011 survey by the Scottish Youth Parliament showed 74% of young people actually support marriage equality.
While Stonewall Scotland poll conducted by YouGov poll published in late June this year showed two-thirds (65%) of the general public in Scotland support for marriage equality.
The Scottish government has consistently stated that the proposed marriage equality law will ensure churches, and individuals within them, do not have to conduct same-sex marriages if they do not agree with them.
A Scottish Government spokeswoman previously stated: ‘The Scottish Government is committed to a Scotland that is fair and equal and that is why we intend to proceed with plans to allow same-sex marriage and religious ceremonies for civil partnerships. All views have been taken into account in coming to this decision.
‘Our next consultation, due later this year, will seek views on protections in areas such as religious freedom, education and freedom of speech.’
This statement coming form specifically and especially the Roman Catholic Church is making the statement ridiculous and absurd!
The whole world knows of the practices of and by the Roman Catholic Church, especially and specifically were and when it concerns children, from instructions by the highest ranked officials of the Roman Catholic Church in the Vatican, to the lowest-leveled practitioners in the smallest villages and communities, to protect the criminals who abused, raped, assaulted and tortured the children who were in their care and protection, to voluntarily and with utter speed ordering and creating possibilities of relocation of the criminals to locations were they were and are able to continue with their foul inhuman practices, as well as the whole world knows of the wholehearted support and even protection by the Roman Catholic Church of creatures who were developing plans, who executed plans to murder millions of people just for their faith, their sexual orientation and or their political convictions during and while WorldWar 2, and as well as the whole world knows of the atrocities that were committed by the Roman Catholic Church during ages when they murdered, tortured and burned people because of so-called witchcraft and other reasons just because people were opposing the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church during the well-known Inquisition period, and then to be reading that that same organization is accusing people who want to inform, educate and make better people of young people of bullying these children..... well, that is something I call “having balls” BUT then in the most negative way and manner!
It is shocking, shaming and totally un-acceptable that a criminal and terrorist organization like the Roman Catholic Church even dares to think of sending out a reaction on matters that are relating to children (in the first place), and it is even more un-acceptable to see the Roman Catholic Church issue a statement that refers to bullying and referring to the nazis!
The Roman Catholic Church, as THE organization for suppression, oppression, hate-mongering, discrimination, practitioner, endorser and enforcer of human rights violations worldwide, protector of human rights violators and sexual criminals, instigator and supporter of worldwide atrocities by its employers and enforcer of acknowledged crimes against human values and dignity by its rulers, that organization of all organizations should be silent when it comes to educate young people who are the future of the world, to bring prosperity, happiness and hope to all people!

Là, j’ai zappé après le film (qui était con aussi, comme quoi !), j’ai fait le tour de la TNT et j’ai dû entendre 5 fois le mot « terroristes ».
Je vois que la machine à apeurer les gens fonctionne à plein régime. Mais il n’est plus trop démocratique.

Je rêve d’aller en spectateur à Ce soir ou jamais, et de sauter sur le plateau pour participer au débat en plein milieu. Je trouve toujours incroyable la docilité des spectateurs de ces émissions.
Ils sont peut-être choisis pour cela. À moins que ce ne soient les esprits moutonniers qui sont attirés par le fait de faire la claque à la télé.
Sinon, dans la mesure où on ne consomme pas de vacances ou de biens culturels, on peut bien jouer en famille, non ?
@rastapopoulos @monolecte : « choisis », peut-être, obéissants sans aucun doute. Rappelez-vous le fameux principe d’autorité et cette émission qui avait fait couler tant de salive virtuelle il y a 2-3 ans, reproduisant la fameuse expérience de Stanley Milgram : on leur dit de rester bien sagement assis, ils restent assis, on leur dit quand applaudir, ils applaudissent, on leur dit quand rirent, ils rient...
@monolecte, haha excellent, du point-n-click. Toute mon enfance.
Si à l’époque tu n’étais pas dans ce monde, je te conseille de trouver Day of the tentacle (le meilleur et le plus con point-n-click de tous les temps), ainsi que les vieux Monkey Island, ainsi que Grim Fandago.
Monsieur est plus PC pour jouer, mais en console, c’est plus familial
le pire c’est les live tweet de ces émissions sur twitter et autres réseaux sociooo ça me gonfle, je connais pas les hashtags et ça floode. Et le fait de les regarder et pester devant son écran, en commentant, ils génèrent de l’audience à ces conneries. Ils alimentent la machine à décerveler.
Eh bien, au risque de vous décevoir (si ce n’est déjà fait), il m’arrive, quand je suis vraiment naze, de regarder des conneries à la télé (style séries policières US interchangeables) mais ça ne dure pas longtemps car, à chaque fois, c’est la télé qui me regarde ...

The Class of 1984 | Big Brother Watch
http://www.bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/home/2012/09/the-class-of-1984.html
The report, which you can download here, warns that the Home Office’s proposed system of regulation for CCTV cameras is not fit for purpose, with the newly created position of Surveillance Camera Commissioner having no enforcement or inspection powers.
This report highlights an issue that has not been subject to any real public debate and we hope by highlighting the scale of the situation a proper debate can now take place about not only how to regulate CCTV, but also why surveillance continues to increase unchecked when there is still no academic research that suggests it is having a positive impact.
We make three key recommendations in the report, which are:
The Home Office code of practice for CCTV cameras should apply to all publicly funded bodies
The Surveillance Camera Commissioner must have the power to enforce the Code of Practice and penalties for breaching the code must be available
The Government should commission an independent review of CCTV use in schools to explore the evidential basis upon which cameras have been installed. This should include ensuring any school using CCTV has appropriate policies in place so teachers and parents are fully aware of why surveillance is being used, when footage can be viewed and by who.
The surveillance experiment of the past twenty years has failed to reduce crime or improve public safety. As schoolchildren across the country are now expected to accept surveillance for the formative years of their education, it is time for a different approach.

Scottish fish farmers use record amounts of parasite pesticides | Environment | The Guardian
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/sep/10/scottish-fish-farmers-parasite-pesticide
Scottish fish farmers have been forced to use record amounts of highly toxic pesticides to combat underwater parasites that prey on salmon, raising fears of significant damage to the marine environment.
Data released by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) shows a 110% increase in the use of chemicals to treat sea lice in the past four years, mainly because the parasite is becoming resistant to treatment. During that same period, however, salmon production has increased only by 22%, to 158,000 tonnes.
The agency said it was not carrying out any studies into the impact of the chemicals on the marine environment, but added that there was no evidence of any cumulative damage from increasing use of pesticides.
mouais... et les impacts sur la santé des consommateurs ?
Chemicals to control salmon parasites
http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2012/sep/10/scottish-fishing-farm-chemicals
The data, requested by the campaigner Don Staniford who runs the website Fishyleaks, shows that overall use of pesticides by the salmon farming industry has increased each year, from 188kg in 2008 to 395kg last year – an increase of some 110%.
In that same period, salmon production increased more modestly, by some 22% to a forecast total of 157,000 tonnes last year.

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/05/ff_libya/all/1?pid=251
The answer, though she would not know it until after the regime fell, lay in a secret deal Gadhafi had made with a company called Amesys—a subsidiary of the French defense firm Bull SA—for technology that would allow his spy services to access all the data flowing through Libya’s Internet system. In a proposal to the regime dated November 11, 2006, Amesys (then called i2e Technologies) laid out the specifications for its comprehensive Homeland Security Program. It included encrypted communications systems, bugged cell phones (with sample phones included), and, at the plan’s heart, a proprietary system called Eagle for monitoring the country’s Internet traffic.

Large tractor tracks in the snow indicate that the barn on the property is still in use, but the house itself is clearly vacant. The cows in the field directly behind the house validate this theory. The property was likely purchased in an estate sale by a neighbouring farmer after the occupants passed away, I presume aloud. I’m watching myself from a third person perspective as I untie the wire attached to the door handle and yank it open, it is tight from the constant stress of freezing and thaw cycles and endless years of disuse.

Gay men will be able to give blood when government restrictions are lifted later this year, the Department of Health has said.

London Riots (The BBC will never replay this)
Interview vraiment intéressante de Darcus Howe, écrivain et réalisateur sur les émeutes. Il parle des mauvais traitements des jeunes par la police à partir de ce qu’il en sait de son fils et son petit-fils, fait une comparaison avec ce qu’il se passe au Moyen-Orient, et refuse de condamner les émeutes malgré les injonctions de la journaliste.

L’animatrice de la BBC est réjouissante dans son rôle de chienne de garde.
La vérité est qu’au cours de cette interview Fiona Armstrong a fait preuve d’un manque de courtoisie et de professionnalisme rarement vu sur la BBC. Plusieurs commentateurs ont d’ailleurs relevé son ton moralisateur (Anjali Kamat, correspondant de Democracy Now) et sa grossièreté (Baratunde, blogueur politique et comédien).
