Possible Link Between Light Pollution & #Cancer

That’s the question Dr. Stevens posed in 1987. “Well maybe the pandemic of breast cancer is due to the increasing use throughout the world of electricity to light the night.” (...) It’s the overproduction of estrogen and lack of melatonin that concerns Dr. Stevens.
Microbes in Pool Filter Backwash as Evidence of the Need for Improved Swimmer Hygiene — Metro-Atlanta, Georgia, 2012
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6219a3.htm?s_cid=mm6219a3_w
During the 2012 summer swimming season, filter concentrate samples were collected at metro-Atlanta public pools. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays were conducted to detect microbial nucleic acid. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was detected in 95 (59%) of 161 samples; detection indicates contamination from the environment (e.g., dirt), swimmers, or fomites (e.g., kickboards). P. aeruginosa detection underscores the need for vigilant pool cleaning, scrubbing, and water quality maintenance (e.g., disinfectant level and pH) to ensure that concentrations do not reach levels that negatively impact swimmer health. Escherichia coli, a fecal indicator, was detected in 93 (58%) samples; detection signifies that swimmers introduced fecal material into pool water. Fecal material can be introduced when it washes off of swimmers’ bodies or through a formed or diarrheal fecal incident in the water. The risk for pathogen transmission increases if swimmers introduce diarrheal feces.
Ah, ben c’est le jour !

In other words: there’s poop in our pools because people are not taking showers before swimming or are having accidents in the water.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said the surveillance operation leading to the arrests of the two suspects was “a result of extensive collaborative efforts”.
They said the two men were not Canadian citizens and were supported by “al-Qaeda elements in Iran” but there was no evidence of state sponsorship.

Quelques heures après l’annonce de son arrestation, ses collègues montréalais de l’INRS se sont dits consternés.
« On est vraiment choqués, c’est du fanatisme », a déclaré un étudiant au doctorat, Faouzi Bellili, interrogé par Radio-Canada.
« J’ai vu qu’il est obscurantiste, mais je n’ai pas senti franchement qu’il allait faire des trucs comme ça », a-t-il ajouté.
Chiheb Esseghaier aurait notamment reproché à M. Bellili de payer des impôts et d’aider ainsi le gouvernement canadien. « J’ai même parlé de lui à ma femme. Je suis marié. Et on a parlé de lui il y a quelques mois et j’ai dit attention, ce gars-là, il est très dangereux », a-t-il indiqué.

Rebekah Rousi a effectué son enquête dans les ascenseurs de deux des plus grands immeubles de bureaux d’Adelaïde, en Australie, avant de la publier sur le site « Ethnography matters » au début du mois. Elle y a fait pas moins de trente tours d’ascenseurs et découvert cet ordre établi : les hommes d’expérience se placent au fond de la cabine avec devant eux les plus jeunes ou les plus timides, tandis que les femmes, quel que soit leur âge, se placent au plus près de la sortie.

Je dois être un mâle dominant, j’ai tendance à aller au fond !
Cela s’explique : en cas de naufrage de l’ascenseur, faut évacuer « les femmes et les enfants d’abord » :-)
Plus sérieusement, je crois que c’est clairement lié à la confiance en soi, au sens « légitimité » sociale. Un mec se sent légitime à demander aux autres de le laisser sortir, ce sera plus dur pour une femme. Généralisation #sexiste, c’est possible..
Hypothèse analogue sur les autoroutes à 3 voies ou plus : en remarquant que les voitures qui roulent sur l’avant dernière file à vitesse modérée - alors que la file de droite est vide - étaient plus souvent conduites par des femmes, ma femme me disait que c’était pour elle lié à la difficulté de déboîter pour doubler, une réticence à s’imposer dans le trafic..
Les femmes ont généralement la voiture secondaire du foyer : soit une petite citadine, soit une familiale boîte à chaussures, mais rarement la grosse cylindrée qui arrache à la reprise.
Encore que j’ai remarqué que de plus en plus de nanas viennent à la sortie de l’école avec des gros 4x4 rutilants... Pas certaine que ce soit un progrès.
Moi j’ai systématiquement une poussette dans les ascenseurs dont c’est biaisé…
Si tu utilises un blindé léger, c’est pas jeu !
Moi j’ai un poussette double, alors de toute façon je suis tout seul avec ma poussette dans l’ascenseur.
Bravo les gars, non seulement les femmes sont moins payées que les hommes, mais en plus avec vous qui leur piquez leurs poussettes, elles perdent leur place et leur job dans les ascenseurs... #discrimination
Rethinking Informality: Design Tactics/Planning Strategies
City Debates
http://webfea.fea.aub.edu.lb/citydebates/2013
Titled Rethinking Informality: Design Tactics/Planning Strategies, City Debates 2013 will address the theme of informal spatial production as it materializes in different scalar levels and within multiple contexts of the Middle-East and beyond. By bringing together scholars, practicing planners and designers, as well as activists engaged in a reflection about the spatial production of informal settlements, their changing position in ever-growing cities, and their relation to both the agricultural and urban landscapes at the intersection of which they often stand, the event seeks to articulate a critical discourse about planning and design that goes beyond the traditional/professional understandings of these disciplines. Case studies will be taken from Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt but also India, Columbia, Germany, France, the United States, and more to draw parallels across national contexts. In light of the centrality of forced population displacement movements in our region, special attention is given in refugee camps in the region.

With a seemingly never-ending cycle of threats and counter-threats, North Korea has been in the news at an unusually high frequency in recent weeks.
http://www.nknews.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/North-Korea-Artillery-Threats.jpg
From the North Korean side, threats of “pre-emptive nuclear strikes”, a severance of military hotlines, and the potential closure of the only joint run inter-Korean industrial complex (Kaesong) have all been on the cards in recent days and weeks.
Up to 600 Europeans fighting in Syria: study | Al Akhbar English
http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/600-europeans-fighting-syria-study
As many as 600 Europeans have joined the rebels fighting government forces in Syria, a British study found.
Jihadists from 14 European countries including France, Germany, Britain and the Netherlands are among those to enter the conflict, according to research published Tuesday by the International Center for the Study of Radicalization (ICSR) at King’s College London.
“Between 140 and 600 Europeans have gone to Syria since early 2011,” said researcher Aaron Y. Zelin.
Up to 441 Europeans are still in the country, he added.
The ICSR’s lowest estimates consist solely of confirmed individuals, while higher estimates include unverified estimates provided by government and media sources.
The ICSR based the figures on some 250 “martyrdom notices” posted on jihadi websites as well as hundreds of Arab and Western media reports.
It estimated that as many as 134 fighters from Britain have headed to Syria, along with up to 107 from the Netherlands, 92 from France and 85 from Belgium.
Others came from Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Finland, Spain, Sweden, Albania, Austria, Bulgaria and Kosovo.
“There is no ’true census’ of foreign fighters, and publicly available sources are inevitably incomplete... and will probably remain so for years to come,” said Zelin.
The study dismissed Syrian government claims that many of the fighters battling against troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad are foreigners, estimating that they make up less than ten percent of the opposition.
Zelin also stressed that not all foreigners fighting in Syria are Muslim extremists.
“Not everyone who has joined the Syrian rebels is Al-Qaeda, and only a small number may ever become involved in terrorism after returning to Europe,” he said.
“That said, it would be wrong to conclude that individuals who have trained and fought in Syria pose no potential threat.”
Last month the Netherlands raised the threat of a terror attack to “substantial”, saying the increased risk stemmed mainly from jihadi returning from fighting in Syria.

In Manifesto, Mexican Eco-Terrorists Declare War on Nanotechnology | Danger Room | Wired.com
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013/03/mexican-ecoterrorism
Over the past two years, Mexican scientists involved in bio- and nanotechnology have become targets. They’re not threatened by the nation’s drug cartels. They’re marked for death by a group of bomb-building eco-terrorists with the professed goal of destroying human civilization.
The group, which goes by the name Individualidades Tendiendo a lo Salvaje (ITS), posted its manifesto to anarchist blog Liberacion Total last month. The manifesto takes credit for a failed bombing attempt that month against a researcher at the Biotechnology Institute at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. And the group promises more.

Israël aurait trompé les Etats-Unis en faisant obstacle à leurs efforts pour empêcher les massacres de Sabra et Chatila, affirme un chercheur américain qui a pu consulter des documents déclassifiés.
’Israel misled U.S. diplomats during Sabra and Shatila massacre’ - Israel News | Haaretz Daily Newspaper
►http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/israel-misled-u-s-diplomats-during-sabra-and-shatila-massacre-1.465925
On September 15, then-Prime Minister Menachem Begin told U.S. envoy Morris Draper that the reason the IDF had entered West Beirut was to keep the peace there. “Otherwise, there could be pogroms,” Begin said. But upon hearing that Defense Minister Ariel Sharon was considering allowing the Phalange militia into West Beirut, even Chief of General Staff Rafael Eitan acknowledged that he feared “a relentless slaughter,” according to Anziska.
Another Israeli official who feared a massacre was Deputy Prime Minister David Levy. On September 16, during a cabinet meeting at which the ministers learned that the Phalange had been allowed into the camps, he said, “I know what the meaning of revenge is for them, what kind of slaughter. Then no one will believe we went in to create order there, and we will bear the blame,” according to the documents Anziska found.
But Sharon told the Americans that the conquest of West Beirut was justified because there were “2,000 to 3,000 terrorists who remained there.”
At a meeting on September 17 that included Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir, Sharon, several Israeli intelligence officials and Draper, Shamir did not mention the slaughter that had occurred in the camps the previous day, according to Anziska.
A transcript of the meeting reveals that the Americans were browbeaten by Sharon’s false insistence that “terrorists” needed “mopping up,” Anziska writes.
En réalité, si les Etats-Unis l’avaient vraiment voulu Israël ne les aurait pas « trompé » (peut-être des élections devaient se tenir aux Etats-Unis à cette époque ?)
A Preventable Massacre
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/17/opinion/a-preventable-massacre.html?_r=2&smid=tw-share&pagewanted=all&
Working with only partial knowledge of the reality on the ground, the United States feebly yielded to false arguments and stalling tactics that allowed a massacre in progress to proceed.
The lesson of the Sabra and Shatila tragedy is clear. Sometimes close allies act contrary to American interests and values. Failing to exert American power to uphold those interests and values can have disastrous consequences: for our allies, for our moral standing and most important, for the innocent people who pay the highest price of all.
Researcher uncovers hidden facts of Israeli-Palestinian water politics | Israeli Occupation Archive
►http://www.israeli-occupation.org/2013-03-09/researcher-uncovers-hidden-facts-of-israeli-palestinian-water-po
The Israeli government has been forcing the Palestinian Authority into approving water infrastructure for illegal West Bank settlements for the past 15 years, according to research by a University of Sussex academic.
The research by Senior Lecturer in International Relations Dr Jan Selby is published today (5 February 2013) in the journal Water Alternatives.1
It presents the first known evidence of the Palestinian Authority lending its official consent to parts of Israel’s settlement expansion programme.
The circle of hell : Inside Tahrir’s mob sexual assault epidemic
Cet article revient sur les viols collectifs survenus sur la place Tahrir. On note depuis plusieurs mois que ce sont toujours les mêmes procédés, même si depuis peu, il y a de plus en plus de victimes (19 victimes en 3 heures lors du second anniversaire de la Révolution) et que les attaques sont plus violentes.
A ce jour, aucune arrestation selon cet article, qui remet ce phénomène en perspectives.
“The context of Tahrir is political and the attacks that happen there are probably organised,” argues Ghozlan.
“The question is, why is it only taking place in Tahrir Square?” Tallima asked. “Why not in front of the presidential palace [where many demonstrations have taken place] or during other large marches? Tahrir is targeted. It is the symbol of the revolution and they want to break it.”
Tallima argues that counter-revolutionaries have been trying for months to damage the image of the square. He said that during the notorious ’Battle of the Camel’ in February 2011, the regime used Egyptians from the poor suburb of Nazlet El-Saman to wield an attack on the square to empty it of protesters.
(...)
“One girl was raped with a knife. The horrifying nature of this attack and others do not give any sexual gratification unless you are a sadist,” El-Shafie said. “And they cannot all be sadists. The aim is to give women the worst experience possible so that they will never go back again.”
If the new gang attacks on women are a political weapon, it would not be the first time it is used in Egypt.
Politician Gamila Ismail was assaulted in 2001 when she was running for parliament against a member of Mubarak’s now dissolved National Democratic Party.
“I was attacked by 17 ex-convict women in front of the polling station,” recalls Ismail.
“The judges, supervising the elections, saw the attack. I even saw state security officers directing the attack.”
In 2005, several female reporters and journalists were beaten and stripped during an anti-regime protest in front of the Journalists Syndicate.
“The government took no action against this attack. It was clear that the state was sanctioning terrorism and intimidation of women,” said Said Sadek, political sociologist at the American University in Cairo (AUC).
The state, says Sadek, has been using sexual humiliation to crackdown on opponents for years. Neither men nor women are spared. He cites the case of Emad El-Kebeer, a microbus driver who was sodomized by two police officers in 2007. To humiliate him, they recorded the act.
“It was videotaped and spread in his area on purpose to humiliate him,” Sadek said. “This is called the shame culture.”
The government’s lack of response in the recent Tahrir gang assaults also raises question marks, says Sadek.
(...)
“I don’t think their tactic will scare women, but definitely any woman who goes to Tahrir must know the consequences,” says Ghozlan. “You may get shot, you may get tear gassed and you may also get raped and sexually assaulted.”
Doctors appear more likely to take on wealthier patients, study finds | Toronto Star
http://www.thestar.com/life/health_wellness/2013/02/25/are_ontario_family_doctors_more_likely_to_take_on_wealthier_patients.html
The study, published online Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, found the bank employees were 50 per cent more likely than the welfare recipients to get appointments.
“The most likely explanation is that people working in doctors’ offices may be unconsciously biased against people of low socioeconomic status,” said Dr. Stephen Hwang, a general internal medicine physician at the hospital and a researcher in its Centre for Research on Inner City Health.
...
There was no financial incentive for doctors to see wealthier patients, since they get paid the same through Ontario’s publicly funded health insurance system, regardless of patients’ socioeconomic status.

Sur le « pouvoir » des cartes : Dr. Mark Graham (PHD au OII, Oxford Internet Institute) explique comment l’Internet renforce les inégalités existantes dans le monde.
On these maps of digital information, a familiar trend is emerging. Some places are covered much more densely with information than others (Manhattan compared to upstate New York, Europe compared to Africa). But that information density bears no direct relationship to the density of human populations. And the gap between these two metrics provides a new way of looking at old questions of inequality.
Every technological innovation today around a new smart-phone app or web platform improving quality of life in cities comes with a caveat. What about the people who can’t access those tools? What about the people on the other side of the digital divide who lack access to home computers, Internet connections, unlimited data plans? These are the people who go “unmapped” in the geoweb.
Researchers like Graham struggle to measure this effect, in part because our concept of a static map is disappearing. Today, online maps are dynamic: They appear differently depending on when you view them, or where you view them from, or whether or not you’re logged into gmail while you do it. It’s increasingly hard, Graham says, “to get the sort of God’s eye view that you traditionally have when looking at a map of what’s out there and what’s being both produced and represented."
Graham and University of Kentucky researcher Mathew Zook (among the academics behind the excellent Floating Sheep blog) have been trying to find ways to capture what’s out there – or, at least, Graham says, “what’s codified, indexed and out there.”
