Canada/H1N1: le lot de vaccins suspects a été presque entièrement utilisé

OTTAWA - Un lot de 172.000 doses de vaccin contre la grippe H1N1 dont certaines ont provoqué des réactions allergiques violentes a été presque entièrement utilisé, ont reconnu mercredi les autorités canadiennes, tout en soulignant que ces réactions sont restées peu nombreuses.

Sur ce lot, "environ 15.000 doses n'ont pas été utilisées", a précisé lors d'une conférence de presse le docteur Danielle Grondin, de la Direction générale des maladies infectieuses et des mesures d'urgence de l'Agence de la santé publique du Canada.

Six réactions allergiques violentes ont été observées parmi les personnes ayant reçu des vaccins venant de ce lot, ce qui a entraîné l'arrêt de son utilisation, mais toutes ces personnes se sont rétablies, avaient indiqué en début de semaine les responsables canadiens.

Mercredi, tant la ministre de la Santé Leona Aglukkaq que le directeur de la Santé publique, le docteur David Butler-Jones, ont insisté sur le bon fonctionnement du système de surveillance qui a permis de déceler cette anomalie.

Les chocs anaphylactiques associés à ce lot de vaccin Arepanrix fabriqué par GlaxoSmithKline ont représenté une proportion de 4 sur 100.000, alors que le taux considéré comme normal est de 1/100.000.

Pour l'ensemble des 15 millions de doses de vaccin déjà administrées au Canada, ce taux de réactions allergiques est nettement inférieur, s'établissant à 0,32/100.000, a souligné M. Butler-Jones.

Alors qu'un Canadien sur quatre est désormais protégé contre le virus et que la progression de la maladie plafonne dans plusieurs provinces, la campagne de vaccination continue, 2,9 millions de doses devant être fournies la semaine prochaine.

Nucléaire : Ce qui devait arriver Areva...

by Krome

Le nucléaire, une énergie propre ? "Renouvelable", même selon AREVA... Le top du top. Sauf qu'aujourd'hui, on découvre au détour d'un reportage d'Arte que 100 000 tonnes de déchets radioactifs ont été rejetés dans le milieu naturel. Et ça continue. On découvre aussi qu'à Cadarache, le CEA et Areva ne savent pas vraiment où passent leurs déchets et... qu'ils mentent aux autorités de sûreté nucléaire !

Digital Photographers, Welcome Back to 1999 | PixSylated | Digital Photography, Canon Flash, Shooting Tethered

by mozkart
Why the value of still images is collapsing It’s that old supply-and-demand thing. The supply of digital images is way, way up. At the same time, advertising in magazines and newspapers is sinking. If you want to continue earning a living at something you already do, it’s helpful if your trade is difficult to do and expensive to get started. Photography during the film-era was this way. Every time I pushed the shutter-button a couple of bucks flew out the window. Now the cost of getting into the pro photography game is virtually nothing (aside from the cost of the camera, the computer, the software, the training… still a relatively low investment for what you’re able to accomplish). I’m grateful that HDSLR cinematography is expensive and problematic right now. The Trib Is Dead. Long Live The Trib. For several generations, ads in magazines and newspapers were the leading consumer of commercial stills. Sorry Charlie, those days are gone. Today advertisers are increasingly moving their efforts over to web-based campaigns. It’s not personal. It’s demographics. OK. So that means that it is personal. The web, with it’s ability to provide instantaneous feedback to advertisers enables those spending the ad bucks to target their message exactly where it needs to be within minutes. For an ad placed in the wrong magazine, the response time is measured in weeks or months. Print advertising is plummeting (stats here). It’s not the economy, stupid. It’s the medium.

L’édition n’a pas attendu Internet pour passer au numérique. Cependant, la fameuse “convergence numérique”, qui a fait les beaux jours de la bulle Internet dont Vivendi Universal fut l’incarnation française, continue à être dans les esprits.Quels types de bonnes pratiques faut-il mettre en œuvre? Existe-t-il un équivalent d’Opquast pour l’édition électronique? Quels environnements technologiques pour quels standards ouverts et libres ?

Gaza Sderot, la vie malgré tout - bulb, Gerald Holubowicz photographer

by sbrothier & 1 other
Je me suis posé souvent la question d'aller là bas. Je m'interroge souvent sur la fascination qu'ont les photographes américains pour ces contrées aux senteurs d'orient. Ce besoin qu'ils éprouvent d'aller chercher, loin de chez eux, la poussière, les larmes et l'horreur d'un quotidien qu'on ne présente plus. Eh bien je continue de me dire qu'en ce domaine, c'est le temps qui donne une profondeur au sujet. Et le temps se donne à ceux qui vivent épaules contre épaules avec ceux qui souffrent. C'est donc aux équipes de production Israéliennes et Palestinienne en premier que je pense, car elles ont su démontrer que le récit racontais les même souffrances, les mêmes joies, la même humanité.

Using Wikipedia to Extend Digital Collections

by decembre
Web 2.0 technologies offer librarians a great opportunity to enhance the authority of resources that students use on a daily basis, and to push their knowledge and expertise beyond the traditional boundaries of the library. We now consider Wikipedia an essential tool for getting our digital collections out to our users at the point of their information need. We view this as a very low cost way to enhance access to our collections, as well as an effective way to participate in the creation of resources that are used by millions around the world. We will continue to explore how we can take advantage of the opportunities that Web 2.0 technologies offer us when marketing our digital and physical collections.

[Google Maps] Les conditions du trafic routier accessibles sur Google Maps mobile

by srcmax

Si vous utilisez Google Maps pour Mobile avec le GPS activé sur votre téléphone, vous pouvez faire ceci. Lorsque vous activez le GPS dans Google Maps, votre téléphone envoie des données anonymes aux serveurs de Google décrivant votre vitesse de déplacement. En combinant votre vitesse avec la vitesse des autres téléphones sur la route, parmi les milliers de téléphones en déplacement dans une ville à un instant donné, nous pouvons établir une image plutôt précise des conditions du trafic routier. Nous combinons ces données en continue et vous les renvoyons gratuitement via le calque Trafic de Google Maps. Aucun effort requis de votre part — activez simplement Google Maps pour mobile avant de démarrer votre voiture — et plus la participation est forte, plus les résultats sont fiables.

On taking over the world, and other things… It’s... | Tumblr Staff

On taking over the world, and other things…

It’s been a month of milestones for Tumblr, and we thought it would be a good time to stop and say: Thank you to everyone for making this possible.

We can still remember watching your new posts come in one-by-one the day we launched. Now we’re waiting for five new servers to arrive to help us handle the 330 million (that’s 0.3 billion!!) hits and 20 million new posts we’re projecting for August.

More than anything, you continue to blow us away with the amazing things you do with Tumblr.

As our team gets bigger (we’re up to 9 people!), we promise we’re as committed as ever to making Tumblr the greatest place for everyone in the world to share the stuff they love and create.

We love you

ENIGMA IMAGES: Even Though I'm Free I Am Not

by karlcow

A major global documentary project for Burma's political prisoners in association with Assistance Association for Political Prisoner's Burma (www.aappb.org)

Though imprisoned they are everywhere among us. Two thousand, one hundred and fifty nine political prisoners are currently incarcerated in the most horrendous of prison conditions in Burma’s notorious jails. Since the 1988 popular democracy movement inside Burma was crushed in a ruthless crackdown by the military regime, thousands of people have been arrested, tortured and given long prison sentences for their beliefs and political activities. Moreover, even after political prisoners are released, they continue to face persecution. The military uses all available means to intimidate, harass and isolate former political prisoners in order to prevent them from conducting political activities.
