Grippe A/H1N1: huit cas de virus présentant une mutation signalés en Chine par les autorités

De ASSOCIATED PRESS (CP) – Il y a 15 heures

PEKIN — Huit cas de virus de la grippe A/H1N1 présentant une mutation ont été détectés en Chine, a rapporté mercredi un représentant des autorités sanitaires, en soulignant que les vaccins et les traitements antigrippaux avaient conservé leur efficacité face à cette mutation.

Les virus grippaux pouvant aisément muter, les scientifiques sont attentifs aux signes révélant une modification du virus de la grippe A/H1N1, qui pourrait le rendre plus dangereux ou plus infectieux.

Shu Yuelong, directeur du Centre national chinois contre la grippe, a précisé à l'agence officielle Chine nouvelle que les cas de virus ayant subi une mutation concernaient des cas "isolés" en Chine continentale, qu'ils n'étaient pas résistants aux médicaments et pouvaient être prévenus au moyen de vaccins.

Aucun autre détail n'a été fourni, notamment sur la date à laquelle ces cas ont été détectés et s'ils sont liés à des décès.

Vivian Tan, porte-parole de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé à Pékin, a déclaré que l'OMS ne disposait pas d'informations sur les cas mentionnés mercredi par Chine nouvelle.

Vendredi, l'OMS avait annoncé qu'elle étudiait des échantillons de virus de la grippe A/H1N1 présentant une mutation, qui avaient été prélevés chez trois personnes en Norvège, dont deux étaient mortes.

chumby | college radio tuner (flash widget) | 84 stations

by garret
A tuner for college and community radio stations. The stations are from goodradio.org so should stay reasonably up to date. Touch the sides of the screen for next and previous channel. After some testing it seems that Widgets, since they must use Flash for streaming, aren't the most reliable way to stream radio. If you like this widget you might go to gizmoware.net/chumby for a version that runs off a thumbdrive and is much more reliable.

@chaals

I had written something these lines a few years ago… Sorry it is in French.

http://www.la-grange.net/2006/04/14 - Un commentaire de trop

But somehow it is a distributed architecture around comments and blogs. If we really think about it a comment, a blog post, and a tweet have the same features usually.

an author, a url (or url-fragment), a text, a date.

blog posts have usually in addition a title and sometimes categories.

How to convert raw cr2 pictures with linux, and merge pictures by date and Exif data with jhead

by ghis (via)
"I recently went to an event with a coworker who took pictures with an SLR Canon Camera that took cr2 raw pictures. My goal was to convert them to jpeg, and integrate them with my own pictures (merging/interleaving them by date using the picture data inside cr2 and Exif for my jpegs)"

The Archivist - Save and Export Twitter Searches Before They Go Away

by Spone
If you have used Twitter search before, you may notice that you can only go back a certain amount of time and/or number of tweets for a given search. In fact, if you read the Twitter search documentation, you'll note that the folks from Twitter say, "We also restrict the size of the search index by placing a date limit on the updates we allow you to search. This limit is currently around a month but is dynamic and subject to shrink as the number of tweets per day continues to grow."

Biggest, Tallest Tree Photo Ever - The Picture Show Blog : NPR

by karlcow

National Geographic sent Nichols to spend an entire year in California's redwood forest. His mission was to capture the majesty of some of the tallest trees on Earth, some of which date back before Christ. And if you've ever photographed in a forest, you'll understand the challenge this presented. There's no capturing the awe one feels before these monoliths that measure, in some cases, upward of 300 feet.

Mizuko Ito on Why Time Spent Online Is Important for Teen Development - MacArthur Foundation

by ycc2106
It might surprise parents to learn that it is not a waste of time for their teens to hang out online,” says Mizuko Ito, University of California, Irvine researcher and the lead author of the most extensive U.S. study to date on teens and their use of digital media. The study showed that America’s youth are developing important social and technical skills online often in ways adults do not understand or value.

Time/Weather Desktop on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

by karlcow

Well, most of the work is done by Earthdesk and GeekTool 3.

Earthdesk is set to Natural Color, Equirectangular projection, Natural Color, Real Moonlight, centered on Vienna, Background: Starfield. Zoom 80%, Clouds 80%, Brightness 80%.

In GeekTool, the times and the weathers are all separate Shell "geeklets".

Times are generated by running shell commands like

env TZ=Asia/Tokyo date " %l:%M %p"

every 20 seconds

The weather is the tricky part. The way I am doing it now, if I am not careful, gets me throttled for too many concurrent requests to the wunderground.com API server. It also fails badly if I am disconnected, so I will need to do it differently.

FWIW: I have a PHP script which I run as separate Shell Geeklets. I invoke it with the name of the city I want. It then hits wunderground and gets back an XML stream of the local weather, which I parse, format and echo. (the way I'd change this is run the script from cron, with a 30 second wait between requests, and cache the results locally, which I would then call from the Shell Geeklets)

From there it's just a question of setting fonts, sizes, colors and moving the little Geeklet boxes around as you want them.

HTML5 Validator Needs Updating. from Maykel Loomans on 2009-10-20 (www-validator@w3.org from October 2009)

by night.kame

Ever since the HTML5 footer has been redefined I have changed the markup of http://www.miekd.com/

At the current stage, the validator has still not been updated to

match this spec change. I am aware of the giant draft/beta sticker on

the validator, but I would really love to have an up-to-date validator.

Encore un qui n'a rien compris à HTML 5, mwahahahaha.

Discuss: Getting to No

by karlcow

15 Questionnaire

It would be very interesting if you could share a mockup, template of your questionnaire. Or if specific to each projects you are creating, at least, the type of questions in the questionnaire.

On the side of the No No for projects, setting a deadline for delivery of the projects or even a step without having all the materials which guarantee the delivery date.

We have to be very careful when committing to dates, to also set the right expectations of the client. Too often, in a project, it is possible to say, let’s release this section at this date YYYY-MM-DD, the materials will be given to you in the next two weeks. Red flag. It is often better to say, once given this list of items (deliveryDate), we will be releasing this section at “deliveryDate 10 business days”.

In middle size agencies, there is also an issue of resources management. There is more than one project in parallel. Explaining to the client that if he/she misses a particular window, the project will be delayed.

Keep written records of every discussions you had, put down the RESOLUTION and the ACTION. After each meeting, send your meeting minutes to the project participants and the client. It is often better to have a scribe. If you get phone calls from the clients (which is fine), send a summary of the discussion just after.

If you are using a project management system (be mail, sharepoint, basecamp, etc. anything), if the client says “It is not the way I work”, rise a red flag again.

Be careful also of the “just this time” or “just for once” on a exceptional work issue, because if you authorize it once, the client will keep the foot in the door, to reuse it again.

Flickr: Discussing Fluidr - an easy to use web alternative to Flickr in Flickr API

by decembre
A web-based Flickr viewer called Fluidr: www.fluidr.com it's in alpha at the moment but is quite stable. Fluidr is unique in a few ways. It offers a continuous pagination (infinite scroll) interface like Darckr and Flickriver but seamlessly turns into a slideshow with the press of a key (try hitting SPACEBAR). It also allows for adding faves and comments in the same interface (scroll or slideshow) rather than having to switch to a more cluttered one. Fluidr's interface is very simple, but allows you to view Flickr content in many ways. You can do the usual Explore/User/User Set/User Tag/Global Tag/Group Pool views, but you can also chose to explore a specific date using a calendar picker, view interesting videos from today or a date range (or an arbitrary date) and filter many of the previously mentioned views by photos only and videos only. Despite these options, it uses a common two line header that (I hope at least) isn't too confusing.
