SGAC Ecuador
National Points of Contact
Welcome to Ecuador's SGAC page! You have come to the right place to learn more about Ecuador's involvement in space activities and how you can get involved! Our purpose is to bring together the new generation of Ecuadorian space leaders to exchange ideas, form strong networks, and take part in the global space arena. Feel free to contact people, groups, or organizations outlined below. Don't delay, come join the conversation!
Young Space Activities Overview in Ecuador
Ecuador is a relatively new space player. Established back in late 2007, the Ecuadorian Civil Space Agency is the first (publicized) attempt at conducting space-related research and outreach in the country. In close collaboration with the Ecuadorian Airforce (FAE), EXA has been actively implementing various projects including a microgravity airliner (Dedalo), radio ground station (Hermes), a UV radiation monitor (Hiperion), and recently a nanosatellite (CubeSat Class 3 – Pegasus NEE-01) to be launched in late 2013 .
One of EXA's main goals is space technology outreach to the young Ecuadorian generation. It gives young people plenty of opportunities to get involved! For example, the ground station HERMES implements the "Satellite in the Classroom" program giving Ecuadorian schools real-time access to international spacecraft data (remote sensing satellites). If you would like to have your school connecting to EXA's ground station, you only need a healthy Internet connection! Three high-schools are already signed up (Unidad Educativa Nuevo Mundo, Colegio Rosa de Jesus Cordero, y la Academia Cotopazi). Your high-school can be the next one!
Another way to get involved is to follow EXA's nano satellite program. Once in orbit, the CubeSat would announce a question about science and technology through facebook and twitter when it flies over Ecuadorian territory. Students are encouraged to answer the question through EXA's website to get real-time access to the on-board webcam. Since Pegasus would be flying between 700-800 km above Earth, the vista should be fantastic! You can't miss it!
Even though Ecuador owns its very name to the French geodesic expedition in the 18th century and enjoys favorable orbital speeds for launching interplanetary and geostationary missions, there is little governmental involvement beyond FAE's collaboration with EXA. Motivating a young generation of scientists and engineers is key to opening the space frontier for Ecuador.
Country Specific Events in 2013
- "A satellite in the Classroom": Students could have interactive classroom activities making use of the HERMES ground station via internet. Get in touch with EXA and learn more here.
- Obtain access to Pegasus on-board camera: Learn more about how to access the camera telemetry of the first Ecuadorian satellite. Check out the launch countdown for Pegasus here.
- Open-telescope night-time observing at Quito's National observatory: Visit the astronomical museum of Quito open to the public Monday to Friday. In clear-sky nights, observatory telescopes are open to the public to carry out observations of Quito's skies. Check the site for more info, upcoming lectures, and events. find more here.

Rheumatoid arthritis can be costly
(HealthDay)—Workers with rheumatoid arthritis have higher health care and other costs for U.S. employers than workers without the condition, a new study finds.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of function in the joints, and can also affect other body organs.
The study appears in the March issue of the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
Researchers analyzed an insurance-claims database to compare the costs to employers for more than 2,700 workers with rheumatoid arthritis and more than 338,000 workers without the condition. Their study included direct health care costs and indirect costs such as missed work days.
The study found that the average yearly cost for a worker with rheumatoid arthritis was $8,700, compared with $3,500 for a worker without the condition. Direct health care costs accounted for 90 percent of the extra $5,200 in the total yearly costs for a worker with arthritis, according to a journal news release.
The researchers also found that workers with rheumatoid arthritis averaged about three and a half more days of health-related work absences a year than those without arthritis. This included more sick days and more short-term disability time.
Based on their findings, the researchers calculated that workers with rheumatoid arthritis cost employers nationwide an additional $5.8 billion a year, compared to workers without it. Of that total, $5.2 billion is for direct health care costs. Workers with the condition also account for 4 million more lost work days per year than those without rheumatoid arthritis.
The study may underestimate the cost impact of rheumatoid arthritis for employers, particularly in reduced productivity, the researchers said.
"The data emphasize the need for effective management strategies that can reduce the burden of illness and economic losses incurred," concluded study co-author Richard Brook, of the JestaRx Group, which provides medical marketing services for clients in the pharmaceutical industry.
JestaRx has received funding from Abbott Laboratories. Two other study authors are employed by and own stock in Abbott, which makes drugs to treat rheumatoid arthritis, the study disclosed.

A quick outfit post from my birthday. I Spent the day with my fiance shopping in manchester and leeds, turns out it was pretty much the only place in the country where it wasnt raining or snowing that day.
My sweatshirt was a present from the other half, i'd been after a bright green number for a while and this made the cut with its big M, first letter of my fiances name.
I'm still wearing these baggy leather numbers to death, there just too comfortable and their thickness makes it feel like your wearing thermals. Cant believe we are almost in april and still we have snow...spring where you at?!!

Golf in the city: an excellent combination in Spain
Spain has an extensive network of first-rate golf courses. It is one of the best places for playing golf, thanks to its year-round good climate and to the quality of its facilities, suitable for all handicaps.
Golf course in Almería
Enjoy your free time playing golf on some of the best European courses, in outstanding surroundings and with the chance to discover an extraordinary cultural heritage. If this is what you want your holidays to be like, the major Spanish cities can make your wish come true. It's an attractive combination which lets you enjoy yourself to the full while you play your favourite sport, with all the comforts of city life close to hand.
Some of the most enticing and fascinating destinations in Spain are also a delight for golf lovers. Big cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Zaragoza, Valencia and Bilbao give you the chance of combining your passion for sport with an unforgettable holiday experience. There are excellent golf courses set either in the cities themselves or nearby, designed by outstanding figures in the sport like Severiano Ballesteros, José María Olazábal or Robert T. Jones, and which are considered among the best in Europe. There's no doubt that playing golf in Spanish cities makes for a wonderful holiday, with plenty of other attractions to ensure you are entertained full-time. Check it out.
The golf courses in cities such as Madrid, Barcelona or Seville offer a large variety of different kinds of golfing experience. There are many different and enjoyable layouts, with plenty of obstacles to test your skill with the clubs. But not only urban golf courses are to hand: close by, there are other possibilities in nearby locations less than half an hour away, which will give you the chance to discover some extremely attractive places such as Aranjuez , El Escorial, Sitges and Caldes de Montbu, where you can even enjoy the Roman baths.
Most of these golf courses are set in beautiful surroundings, and your game will be played in a quiet and relaxing setting. You will experience a unique feeling while you play the course at El Saler in Valencia, which has some fantastic views of the Mediterranean; or in Artxanda in Bilbao, which has the mountain of the same name as a backdrop. The golf courses are suitable for all levels of players, and many, such as the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, have been chosen to host important international competitions. They also offer facilities to people who want to begin at the sport: there are usually practice areas and academies for both adults and children.
But the merits of Spanish cities do not end there: thanks to a wonderful climate, in some of them you can play almost all year round. They also have excellent transport links, with international airports, high-speed trains and major roads nearby. And of course, you should not forget the many leisure-time activities available. You can discover a rich historic and artistic heritage, enjoy a world-class cuisine, go shopping in the best shops, and take part in a huge variety of cultural events and activities.
Come and enjoy what the major cities of Spain have to offer, and return home with the memory of an unforgettable holiday spent enjoying your favourite sport.

Now-Archbishop Wenski is 59, originally a priest of the Archdiocese of Miami, he has been bishop of Orlando since 2004, having been named coadjutor of that same diocese in 2003.
The Holy See also announced today that Bishop Thomas Paprocki, 57, an auxiliary bishop in Chicago, was named as bishop of Springfield, Illinois, a see that has been vacant since its former bishop, George Lucas, became archbishop of Omaha, Nebraska last summer.
This leaves four Latin Rite dioceses vacant in the United States: Harrisburg; PA; LaCrosse, WI; San Antonio, TX; Orlando, FL. There are three Latin Rite ordinaries serving at or past 75, the age at which canon law requires bishops to submit their resignations to the pope: Bishops Higi and Skylstad of Layfayette, IN and Spokane, WA respectively, along with His Eminence, Justin Cardinal Rigali, archbishop of Philadelphia.

More reason to fixate on aging and our every physical imperfection
An AP story this morning has us concerned that people who look old for their age are at higher risk of heart disease. Various headlines: "Looking Old May Be a Sign of Heart Risks"; "Looking Old May Be a Sign of Heart Disease"; "Looking Old? It Could Be Heart Disease"; "Visible Aging Signs May Predict Heart Disease." Fascinating; for real, though?
Dr. Anne Tybjaerg-Hansen presented research at an American Heart Association conference yesterday in which researchers at the University of Copenhagen correlated 11,000 Danish people's appearances with their incidence of heart disease. The stories are based on that.
"The visible signs of aging reflect physiologic or biologic age and are independent of chronologic age," she said -- which is a super engaging proposition. The age-is-just-a-number theory takes us from college bars to Zuckerberg to Sandusky, and now to cardiovascular risk factors. Appraising someone's heart just by looking at them would be cost-effective and great, for doctors and discerning suitors alike.
But, but; but -- the physical characteristics that correlated with heart disease in this study were few:
- Baldness/receding hairline
- Bumpy cholesterol deposits around the eyes
- Earlobe creases
Things like gray hair and wrinkles, meanwhile, didn't correlate with heart disease. And those are definitely closer to the top of most people's Family Feud surveys on what we consider Signs of Old Age.
So, to the correlations:
1. Receding hairline correlated with heart disease. That could be related to testosterone levels, or the undue stresses of going bald in 2012.
2. Bumpy cholesterol deposits around the eyes -- Not a normal sign of aging. It's called xanthelasma, and it often means high cholesterol. An association with cardiovascular disease makes sense.
3. Earlobe creases -- Fascinating and not intuitive, but also not a mainstream sign of aging. "Oh how time -- brutal time -- has ravaged your once-beautiful earlobes." When they're not inherited, they're felt to be related to collapse of blood vessels to the ear lobe, so, indicative of vascular disease. And the association with heart disease isn't new at all. See this paper from 1989.
Bottom line, if you look old, don't freak out because of these headlines. If you have cholesterol lumps visibly accumulating under your eyes, get your cholesterol checked.

Bristol's Alyscia Talbot is a convert to the joys of Kristen's Kloset.
And on March 30, with the help of the Wolcott Grange, the Bristol Central High School junior will be giving Kristen's Kloset a financial boost with a fund raising "Prom Extravaganza."
Kristen's Kloset is a pop-up store organized each year by Southington Youth Services, in which gently used prom gowns are sold at reasonable prices for young women who want to go to the prom but can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars for a new dress.
Alyscia knows about the store because she was one of those girls.
"I got my first prom dress from Kristen's Kloset," said Alyscia.
What did she like about the store, which this year is hosted in the Southington Town Hall Annex in Southington at 93 Main St.
"These dresses are gorgeous," said Alyscia in an interview inside the pop-up store, surrounded by all of the donated gowns. "They've only been used once or twice and they're only $25 or even free. They come in all these beautiful colors. And there are also short dresses. It's perfect."
Additionally, Alyscia explained, Kristen's Kloset has "a great story."
According to Kristen's Kloset webpage on the town of Southington's website, "The program is named after Kristen Warner, a Southington middle school student, who was tragically killed in a car accident in 2004. Her family initiated this program in her honor and Southington Youth Services has expanded it over the years." This is the program's sixth year.
"Just the whole idea behind it, that everyone works together to put all these dresses out for sale. And all of them are donated. It's amazing to me," said Alyscia.
The idea for the fund raiser came to her when she was in the car with her mother, Susan. The pair were talking, and Alyscia had a bit of an epiphany. She wanted to do a fund raiser and donate a portion of the funds to Kristen's Kloset. And, in so doing, she would help encourage girls across the state to come check out the store.
To that end, this Saturday, at the Wolcott Grange at 313 Bound Line Rd., Wolcott. Alyscia (who is also the Junior Grange Chairperson) will be holding the Prom Extravaganza. There will be vendors, lessons about how to do your hair, make-up, nails, and how to tan, and, of course, dresses for sale from Kristen's Kloset. One of the treats for the evening will be a fashion show featuring some of the dresses available at Kristen's Kloset. Local girls will serve as models for the garments.
The Prom Extravaganza is Saturday from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Admission is $10, with a portion of the proceeds going back to Southington Youth Services to help continue the gown program.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Two Florida cases before the U.S. Supreme Court are questioning law enforcement's use of man's best friend to sniff out drugs.
Florida vs. Jardines and Florida vs. Harris present an aggressive challenge to the notion that a dog's alert to the presence of drugs is enough to legally justify a search of someone's home or vehicle, The Washington Post reported.
Oral arguments in the two drug dog cases were on the court's docket for Wednesday.
Jardines asks whether it was constitutional for Miami-Dade County police, acting on a tip, to bring Franky the chocolate Lab to Joelis Jardine's front door.
As a result of Franky's "alert," police obtained a search warrant and Jardines was arrested on suspicion of turning his home into a marijuana "grow house."
Harris questions whether judges should scrutinize a dog's qualifications and cites research showing a high rate of false alerts and manipulation by a dog's handler.
The state of Florida, backed by the Obama administration, said professional training of the dogs and certification should be enough for the courts.

Booking Terms and Conditions
Online Booking and Payment
The Moray Walking & Outdoor Festival is run by the Moray Way Association and sells tickets on behalf of event providers unless otherwise specified. This means that the final contract for your purchase will be between you and the event provider.
Your Order
When you place an order you will automatically receive an email from us. Your order constitutes an offer made to us to purchase the services specified in the order.
When payment is received you will receive a further email confirming acceptance of your offer. It is your responsibility to check that the confirmation issued to you is accurate.
We accept payment through PayPal, a well-known, trusted, and secure way to make payments over the Internet. Payment can be made using any major credit or debit card, or direct from a Paypal account.
Refunds – Customer cancellation
Refunds can be claimed for bookings cancelled before May 31. After May 31 refunds will only be made if the places are resold as by then arrangements for events are in place. In all instances we reserve the right to levy an administrative charge of £1.
Refunds – Provider cancellation
Refunds will be provided in full for any events cancelled by providers. We are unable to provide any reimbursement or refund for any accommodation or transport booked if circumstances require an event to be cancelled.
Changes to the programme
In the event of circumstances beyond our control, we reserve the right to alter the programme and events.
Basis of participation
The organisers of the Moray Walking and Outdoor Festival recognise that outdoor activities carry a risk of personal injury dependent in part upon the skills of participants and prevailing weather conditions, both outwith the control of the organisers. Those taking part do so at their own risk and are responsible for their own actions and safety. In broad terms, the basis of participation is similar to that of individuals joining in club activities.
A key difference is that many events are led and take participants on unfamiliar routes. On led events, the event leader is responsible for route finding. A minority of events, usually offered by commercial providers, use fully trained instructors who have an additional responsibility for the overall safety of participants. If in doubt contact the provider.
Descriptions of events
Every effort is made to ensure that all events are described accurately and fairly to allow participants to make informed decisions. Ultimately event descriptions on this site are the responsibility of each event provider and the officers of The Moray Way Association cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies. If there is uncertainty over what participation in any event entails then enquiries should be made to seek clarification.
Suitability of events
The safety and enjoyment of individuals on any event is largely dependent upon the fitness, skills and health of each individual. It is expected that participants use the information provided to choose suitable events, and do not undertake any event, or challenge within an event, that is beyond their capability.
In the unlikely circumstance that on the day of the event the leader has good grounds to doubt the suitability of their event for any individual, then they have the right to refuse admission without refund.
Young People and Vulnerable Adults
Young people (under 16yrs) and vulnerable adults are welcome on appropriate events but must be accompanied by an appropriate carer or responsible adult. The accompanying adult is best placed to judge the capability of their charge and has the full responsibility both for judging the suitability of the event for that young person or vulnerable adult and for their actions during the event.
In general dogs are welcome on walks, providing dog owners act responsibly in accordance with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code and ensure that dogs are kept under close control in the vicinity of livestock and in rural areas. The decision on whether dogs are welcome on individual events is the prerogative of the event provider, especially where transport is part of the event. If there is any doubt please contact the event provider before booking the event.

"Nice Guys Finish Seventh", huh? Great. The other day I e-mailed William Safire and told him Leo Durocher never said that and that Safire's book was wrong. Now some guy writes a book with that title.
I am going into my attic tonight and dig out Durocher's book. I swear when I read it as a kid Durocher straightened out that whole thing and he didn't say "...finish seventh". I will post the page number and everything (or a mea culpa).

Did NewTeeVee/GigaOm Violate Copyright Laws By Telling You How To View The 2010 Olympics Online?
from the inducement deptIt's no secret that tons of people are pretty damn upset with NBC's decisions to tape delay pretty much everything at the Olympics, in an era when everyone is used to real-time info. On top of that, most people recognize that it's not hard to simply go online to unauthorized sources to watch streams of the Olympics live. GigaOm's NewTeeVee put up a post over the weekend that explains how to view such unauthorized streams, and the site even titled the post: "Pirating the 2010 Winter Olympics." Given that this is all rather obvious, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
But, thanks to some screwed up court decisions that have forced secondary liability into copyright law, using an "inducement" standard, it's not hard to see how NBC could make a case against GigaOm for "inducing infringement," and therefore being liable for copyright infringement, potentially leading to a complete shutdown. Now, I hope that NBC Universal is smart enough not to take on this sort of fight, because it would backfire massively -- but, then again, we're talking about a company whose chief lawyer, Rick Cotton, is proud of how difficult NBC makes it to watch the Olympics, and believes that stomping out "piracy" is the key to saving the American farm.
So would NBC have a case? Well, compare what's written in the NewTeeVee article -- which (even with some disclaimers) explains exactly how to get unauthorized Olympics streams with the decision against Gary Fung in the IsoHunt case. In that case, the judge found inducement by Fung for statements that seemed a lot more innocuous than anything in the NTV article.
Now, GigaOm might have a fair use defense, in claiming that it's reporting, but a judge might challenge that, given the nature of the post itself -- and, certainly, we've been told over and over again by copyright holders (incorrecly, but... you know...) that fair use is not a right, just a defense.
Obviously, I think that GigaOm should be free to explain to people how unauthorized access to the Olympics works -- and I'm hoping that NBC Universal isn't so myopic as to go after the site for this post -- but in a world where secondary liability on third parties is "the law," posting anything like what NewTeeVee posted suddenly becomes a potential liability. This is yet another reason why we should be quite concerned with ACTA's intent to lock in this kind of problematic secondary liability on third parties.

Contrary to what you may have read in The Guardian, not "everyone in Israel is talking about the British-American BBC comedy Episodes". In fact, most Israelis have never heard of it and it certainly did not go 'viral'. Nonetheless, what did go kinda-sorta viral is my little post about it, published three weeks ago on my blog, in which I apparently coined the phrase 'pickled at great expense'.
You see, blogging about minutia you can never be sure if you come off as clever or just petty. That's why when someone 'gets it', when someone understands that some of these posts use insignificant events to talk about bigger things, that a post about a television show is actually about the increasing amount of responsibility we outsource to new technologies – that's when I feel rewarded. Also, The Google.
Big bonus: Episodes' lead actor Stephen Mangan tweeting about it:

Dell SecureWorks Launches Resource Center to Help Organizations Become PCI Compliant and Strengthen
Dell SecureWorks Launches Resource Center to Help Organizations Become PCI Compliant and Strengthen Security
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dell SecureWorks, an industry leader in information security services, has launched a new PCI Compliance Resource Center to help organizations meet and maintain compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), and to help strengthen their overall security posture. PCI DSS requires any organization that transmits, processes or stores payment card information to protect the privacy and confidentiality of that data.
The PCI Compliance Resource Center features a wide range of white papers, videos and webcasts that address PCI challenges, PCI DSS remediation, and consulting and information security services offered by Dell SecureWorks.
PCI standards require organizations to build, maintain and monitor a secure network to protect cardholder data, as well as maintain a vulnerability management and information security program. Common challenges for merchants include identifying and segmenting cardholder data, assessing their current state of compliance, remediating any problems that are found, and maintaining ongoing compliance.
Regardless of how many transactions they process, merchants must demonstrate PCI compliance annually. Those that are not PCI compliant can face steep fines from their acquiring banks, and in some cases, have their payment card privileges revoked. Fines can range from $2,000 to more than $100,000 per month for PCI compliance violations, plus additional fines for repeat violations, depending on the merchant's acquiring bank. To demonstrate ongoing compliance, organizations must submit annual Reports on Compliance (ROC) or Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs), and must scan their networks at least quarterly for security vulnerabilities.
Although maintaining a PCI compliant status can prevent organizations from being fined, it is not enough to protect merchants from data breaches.
"Many organizations mistakenly believe that once they are compliant their corporate networks are secure, but many companies that were PCI compliant have been breached," said John Cartwright, Security Systems Principal Consultant, Dell SecureWorks. "In reality, when you take care of information security issues first, becoming PCI compliant should fall into place. And when you understand security and can accurately interpret the PCI requirements, you can find cost-efficient ways to meet them."
As with other regulations and guidelines, PCI DSS compliance cannot be achieved through technology alone. It requires establishing and maintaining a PCI program that incorporates the appropriate policies, procedures and technology to ensure ongoing compliance through continuous protection of payment card data that is collected, stored or transmitted.
Dell SecureWorks offers a full suite of PCI Security consulting and remediation solutions and is an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) and Qualified Security Assessor (QSA). The Dell SecureWorks Security and Risk Consulting team includes numerous certified QSA and ASV experts who work with a diverse range of organizations.
The Dell SecureWorks PCI Compliance Resource Center is located at http://go.secureworks.com/pci-compliance.

During the three-month 'Defending Our Pacific' expedition, the Esperanza monitored the Pacific Commons and visited Pago Pago in American Samoa, Nauru, and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. In December, Greenpeace and the government of Palau conducted a joint fisheries enforcement operation in Palau's national waters. Greenpeace assisted in apprehending and detaining a licensed vessel engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, failing to report via its vessel monitoring system and catching and finning sharks, a practice banned in Palauan waters.
The Esperanza encountered 63 fishing vessels in total during the expedition, including an overt, illegal, stateless and unmarked purse seine vessel operating with six other support vessels in what appeared to be a group operation. Fishing vessels were also sighted transiting through Pacific countries' waters. Catches of sharks were particularly high on a number of vessels; in several cases the Esperanza crew took action, inspecting and documenting vessels at the invitation of their captains, and releasing endangered species and other bycatch from tuna longline hooks.
The expedition showed that longline fishing in the Pacific Commons remains rampant.

Teapee | Sophie Pépin
Pour célébrer leur savoir-faire et leurs connaissances médicinales légendaires, Sophie Pépin dans mon cours d'emballage propose un thé des bois, issu des traditions autochtones et servi dans une structure directement inspirée des Teepees. Teapee est une jolie façon de découvrir dans une expérience globale la saveur du thé d'origine nord-américaine dont les saveurs et vertus ont été découvertes bien avant l'arrivée des premiers colons français sur le sol d'Amérique du Nord.
Magnifiquement conçues, ces petites sculptures de papier révèlent une poche d'une forme unique et qui permet une infusion toute en élégance. Les motifs, les formes et la structure s'unissent dans une ode à une civilisation presque disparue et qui cherche aujourd'hui à retrouver les racines fondatrices de sa culture.
American Indians story is a sad story. Exterminated in South-America by the conquistadors, decimated by wars in the United States, if Indian people in Canada have survived, they have suffered a fate just as sad with the loss of their culture and lifestyle. Indeed, our ancestors chose to exterminate the millennia livelihoods of indigenous societies at its root. As they were nomadic peoples, the Native Americans had to become sedentary and have gradually lost much of their tradition closely tied to nature.
Beautifully designed, these small sculptures reveal a paper bag and a unique shape that allows an infusion in any style. Patterns, forms and structure are combined in an ode to a civilization almost disappeared and now seeks to find the roots of its founding culture.

This project is raising many eyebrows right now on tumblr, and elsewhere.RépondreSupprimer
The most glaring issue at hand is that this project approaches indigenous cultures as monolithic. Again and again a singular 'culture' is referred to, when in the Americas there exist hundreds of very distinct indigenous nations, languages and cultureS.
The second issue is the design itself, which supports the monolithic view, supposing that such a diversity of cultures could be encapsulated by reference to the tipi. It is ridiculous to say that all of us were nomadic. UQAM is located on Mohawk territory, and the Mohawk do not have a tradition of using tipis. It is perplexing to see this context ignored in favour of focusing on a structure that was not among the first viewed by the French upon their arrival here. Granted, the shape lends itself to steeping in a way the longhouse might not.
But the issue of the choice of the tipi goes deeper than territory. The representation of diverse indigenous cultures with symbols specific to the Plains is at an all time high right now, with Plains-style warbonnets on every fashionable head and native-themed everything clogging up the racks in almost every hip clothing establishment. The choice to represent us all with the tipi is a very mainstream one right now, and it makes sense to capitalise on such a booming trend. Nonetheless, the choice should be a questionable one given that it plays into stereotypes, does nothing to address or alleviate those stereotypes, and in terms of creativity...does not display very much.
My final comment on this is that the description of the designer's inspiration definitely needs work. Indigenous peoples in South America continue to exist and were not exterminated. Decimation during the Indian Wars has not caused nations living in the US to be now absent, and in Canada, our cultures are very much still in existence. They have been assaulted, made illegal, curtailed, and yes even changed in many ways, but we are still here. Our languages, our traditions, our people, are still here. Our tie to the land continues to be very strong, though our ability to determine what happens to that land has been steadily eroded by colonialism. It is insulting in the extreme to be described as "a civilization almost disappeared". All of the above seems rooted in a deep ignorance of who we are as unique peoples, and what our present realities entail.
Please do not create an "ode" to our supposed cultural death and physical extermination, and please do not do it by accessing stereotypical symbols that perpetuate widespread ignorance about our diversity, just because this is the hight of fashion lately. There is truly no reason to indulge in such fetishisation on our behalf just to create another herbal tea blend no doubt already available. It certainly doesn't honour us, and appears to be intended to appeal only to non-natives who love 'native-inspired' but don't care that much about native reality.

First of all, thank you for you well documented comments.
However there are some issues that should be added for the benefits of all readers.
1. This was an ode to the first nations and not a critic. At the same time it meant to be inspirational and it did not pretend to be an history book on all First nations in the Americas.
2. I was never mention that this would represent ALL First nations but more a general mention of some of their life style ancestors knowledge.
3. If most native didn't live in teepees, still, some did.
4. As for the extermination of the native culture if the term was severe, it is meant to be a severe critic to the conquistador and white settlers and not to discuss the survival of some culture.
5. Doing graphic communication means simplifying the message to make it readable to the reader at first glance. Clichés are part of the communication process. We picture French people with baguette bread, Quebec people with red hunters' shirts ... that doesn't pretend to say it gives the whole story. It is a visual reference.
We might have miss the target, but we still think it is a nice salute to natives in general. Sorry you have been shocked by it. We tend to try not to fall into politics and political correctness that seams to bleach the color from everything. We are exploring creativity, not making political statements.
best regards
Professor Allard
Merci M. Allard pour l'opportunité d'ici présenter des positions diverses et divergentes. Vous voyez que le français n'est pas ma langue maternelle ; je vous remercie encore pour m'accorder le privilège de m'exprimer dans une façon qui assure que je serais jugé sur mes idées et non sur ma grammaire. Je continue donc, par votre grâce, en anglais.RépondreSupprimer
I am a graphic designer with 15 years of experience, a graduate of the program at Sheridan College (Oakville) with which you may be familiar. What riles me about this project is the glib, uncritical, superficial violation of humanity that has occurred here.
As designers, our role is not simply to wrap something in pretty paper and put a bow on it. At best, our work uncovers and expresses the true nature of a thing. Our process seeks to comprehend, and make things comprehensible. An honest designer does not seek to cover up, deflect or obscure reality. When style so completely overwhelms and betrays substance, you have abandoned the realm of design for decoration at best, propaganda at worst. Tea in a paper teepee is not simply that and nothing else. It exists in context. These are lessons that need to be taught.
M. Allard, you assert that "clichés are part of the communication process." This is undeniable. A cliché is a lazy trick for a lazy audience, and there are plenty of both in the world around us. A cliché is a device that dulls the mind into accepting and reinforcing the status quo. The status quo, however, is not neutral or evenly-applied; in modern-day Canada it means privilege for some at the expense of others. A designer perpetuates this privilege, intentionally or not, every time s/he chooses to fall back on a cliché.
In her critique, âpihtawikosisân was gentle and creative enough to hold back on using the term 'racism.' I will not be so gentle. I accuse no one—not you, M. Allard, nor Mlle Pépin—of conscious, malicious, intentional racism. My criticism is of our warm and comfortable cultural milieu, in which racism is a strong undercurrent posing an ever-present danger. It will drag us out to sea if we do not keep a vigilant eye on the horizon, noting our position and swimming for safety when we find ourselves caught in it. This is the kind of cultural awareness and capacity for self-criticism I dearly hope our design students are being taught in 2013. I see no evidence of that here.
You seek to avoid politics that "bleach the color from everything" while offering us a design that is the most bland, whitewashed, clichéd pap imaginable: invisible, nameless "Indians" in chlorine-bleached, Boreal-forest paper teepees. Yet I can assure you that the vibrant circles in which many activists dance—and in which all open hearts are welcome—are full of more colour than can be found on any Photoshop palette. By encouraging this kind of work you are consigning your students to careers as cubicle-bound drones, bending their craft to the service of the corporate agenda, believing they are blameless in the harms that agenda brings with it. They deserve better.
If you, M. Allard, or you, Mlle Pépin, are not forthcoming with a sincere apology—not for the offended party's "misunderstanding" but for your own ignorance—I humbly offer one to âpihtawikosisân and all her relations, who are ultimately ours as well, on behalf of those of us in this trade who wish to move forward.
Merci, nia:wen, meegwetch, thank you.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Federal authorities have decided against issuing citations in a natural gas well fire in southwestern Pennsylvania that killed one worker earlier this year.
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration said no exact cause was determined for the Feb. 11 fire at the Chevron well in Greene County's Dunkard Township. No citations for violation of federal safety standards will be issued.
Twenty-seven-year-old worker Ian McKee was killed.
The state Department of Environmental Protection said in a report last week that the fire "may have been caused by human error" when a lock screw was ejected, allowing high-pressure methane gas to escape.
The state report said sufficient oversight was not always provided and a contract worker with no oil field experience worked on the well contrary to company policy.

Set the password expiration policy for your organization
This article is for people who set password expiration policy for a business, school, or nonprofit.
If you're a user, you don't have the permissions to set your password to never expire. Ask your work or school technical support to do the steps in this article for you.
As an admin, you can make user passwords expire after a certain number of days, or set passwords to never expire.
By default, passwords are set to never expire. Current research strongly indicates that mandated password changes do more harm than good. They drive users to choose weaker passwords, re-use passwords, or update old passwords in ways that are easily guessed by hackers.
Only Office 365 global admins can perform these steps.
In the admin center, go to the Settings > Security & privacy page. If you aren't an Office 365 global admin, you won't see the Security and privacy option.
Next to Password policy, select Edit.
If you don't want users to have to change passwords, set Passwords never expire to On.
If you want user passwords to expire, in the first box type how often passwords should expire. Choose a number of days from 14 to 730.
In the second box type when users are notified that their password will expire, and then select Save. Choose a number of days from 1 to 30.
When the user's password expires, they'll get a notification that appears in the lower right corner of their screen.
Important things you need to know about the password expiration feature
Here are some things to know about how this feature currently works as of January 2018:
People who only use the Outlook app won't be forced to reset their Office 365 password until it expires in the cache. This can be several days after the actual expiration date. There's no workaround for this at the admin level.
Users do not get an email notification that their password is going to expire in X number of days. Do you want this feature? Vote here!
Prevent last password from being used again
If you want to prevent your users from recycling old passwords, you can do so in Azure AD. See Password policies and restrictions in Azure Active Directory.
In addition, if an employee used a mobile device to access Office 365, you can wipe it to ensure the password is no longer stored and recycled from there. To learn more, see Wipe and block a former employee's mobile device.
Synchronize user passwords hashes from an on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD (Office 365)
This article is for setting the expiration policy for cloud-only users (Azure AD). It doesn't apply to hybrid identity users who use password hash sync, pass-through authentication or on-premises federation like ADFS.
To learn how to synchronize user password hashes from on premises AD to Azure AD, see Implement password hash synchronization with Azure AD Connect sync.

The Basics
- Score: VCU 84, Butler 52
- Records: VCU (23-6, 11-3 A-10), #20 Butler (22-7, 9-5 A-10)
- Location: Verizon Wireless Arena at the Stuart C. Siegel Center - Richmond, Va.
- The Short Story: VCU put HAVOC on display for the entire nation on Saturday afternoon, unleashing a feracious defensive attack that forced 20th-ranked Butler into 23 turnovers en route to a 82-54 beatdown for the Black & Gold. Senior Troy Daniels knocked down four 3-pointers en route to a game-high 20 points, while three other Rams chipped in 11 points on the afternoon. With the victory, the Rams clinched a top-four spot at the Atlantic 10 Tournament, which takes place in two weeks at the Barclays center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
How It Happened:
- Fans were greeted with a bevy of black shirts surrounding "#Havoc" outlined in gold and that's exactly what was on display from the opening tip.
- After Butler scored the opening basket, the Rams scored the next nine straight, including a steal and breakaway dunk from sophomore Briante Weber that sent the jam-packed Siegel Center into a frenzy.
- VCU's lead quickly grew into double-digits on the back of Daniels who had 14 first-half points to help the Rams push their lead into the 20s.
- A three-pointer from sophomore Treveon Graham at the first half buzzer sent VCU into the locker room with a 45-21 cushion.
- Butler came out of the locker room aggressive, scoring seven straight points capped by a three-pointer by Chase Stigall to bring the Bulldogs within 45-28.
- Five straight points from Weber quickly pushed the Black & Gold's lead back into the 20s, where it stayed for most of the second half.
- A beautiful drive and dish by Weber led to a dunk by junior D.J. Haley which pushed VCU's lead to 33, the largest of the game, with 3:54 remaining.
Beyond the Box Score
- The 32-point loss was the worst for Butler under Head Coach Brad Stevens and first time since 1985-86 that the Bulldogs lost a conference game by 30 or more points.
- With 17 steals on the afternoon, VCU pushed its season total to 355, which sets a new Atlantic 10 Conference, breaking the old mark of 352, set by the 1997-98 Xavier squad.
- VCU is now 13-0 this year when scoring 80 or more points and 39-1 when reaching that number under Coach Smart.
- With four 3-pointer on the afternoon, Daniels became the first player in VCU history to knock down 100 in a season.
- Daniels' 103 3-pointers now rank 10th on the Atlantic 10 single-season chart.
Up Next
- The Rams are back in action on Wednesday night when they host intracity rival, Richmond. Game time on CBS Sports Network is set for 8 p.m.

Spirit Airlines raising carry-on fee to $100 at the boarding gate
Spirit Airlines, which returns to the Denver market tomorrow at Denver International Airport, has announced that starting Nov. 6, they will raise their carry-on fee for bags that have to go in the overhead bin to $100 when folks pay at the gate, according to a story released today by the Associated Press.
Wow. That's actually more than most tickets cost to fly on the low-priced carrier to begin with.
If passengers pay at the ticket counter or a kiosk, the fee remains at $45. It costs $45 now for a carry-on bag that goes into the overhead bin, and bags that fit under the seat fly free. The carrier also plans to raise a few other fees by $2-$10, the AP also reported.
Measure that bag carefully and follow the airline's rules: to fit under the seat, it has to be no bigger than 16 x 14 x 12 inches (40 x 35 x 30 cm).

Irmscher has created an upgrade program for the Opel Mokka. A power increase for the 1.4-liter turbo engine is in development.
The Mokka is a fresh new name in Opel's lineup and already it has received some attention from a tuner. German aftermarket specialist Irmscher has developed a customization program for the sub-compact SUV as Opel likes to call it.
At the front we notice the typical Irmscher honeycomb grille with a stainless steel cover, while the front end has also received some mild changes. There's also a new roof spoiler and a different exhaust system located at the back. Inside the cabin, leather can be used for covering the multifunction steering wheel and the seats, while Irmscher has also designed different floor mats.
The Opel Mokka can be fitted with a lowering module that brings it closer to the road by 30mm and can ride on a new set of 20-inch Evo-Star or Turbo-Star alloy wheels. Irmscher is working on a power boost for the 1.4-liter turbo engine which in its standard configuration pumps out 125 hp (93 kW) and a peak torque of 147 lb-ft (200 Nm).

Cambodians urge Obama to press for human rights
- Obama is the first U.S. president to visit Cambodia
- President on the final leg of his 3-country tour
- Cambodia hosts East Asia Summit
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Chray Nim got the idea from a TV movie, when survivors made a giant "SOS" on their drifting boat.
Last week, Chray, 34, and more than 10 neighbors, fighting the loss of homes near Phnom Penh airport, painted "SOS" on their rooftops beside posters of President Obama.
Police armed with guns and spray-paint erased the letters, lest Obama and his team spot them as Air Force One touched down Monday on the third and final leg of his spin through Southeast Asia.
"We wanted him to see our message. We are Cambodian people, and we are the victims of eviction," Chray said. The villagers did get a message out. The rough-arm tactics of police, who arrested Chray and seven other villagers, reminded the visiting world that the regime of Cambodia's longtime leader Hun Sen, a former Khmer Rouge officer, still doesn't tolerate dissent.
Obama met privately with the autocratic leader, who has held power for nearly 30 years. Ben Rhodes, Obama's deputy national security adviser, said the president told Hun Sen that without reforms, Cambodia's human rights woes would continue to be "an impediment."
Many Cambodians credit Hun Sen with helping the country emerge from the horrors of the 1970s Khmer Rouge reign, when systematic genocide left 1.7 million dead. Vietnam invaded and ousted that regime in 1979. By 1985, Hun Sen had become prime minister.
Rights groups such as Amnesty International say the human rights situation, especially freedom of expression, has worsened in recent years, as authorities use the court system to punish people speaking out against land grabs by powerful companies, one of the country's hottest issues. A recent report by Human Rights Watch said more than 300 people have been killed in political attacks since 1991.
While world leaders from Obama to Russia's Vladimir Putin are in town, this week is Cambodia's rare moment in the spotlight. Before the East Asia Summit that Obama will attend and an ongoing annual summit of ASEAN, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, officials cleared the Cambodian capital of street vendors and dispatched beggars and the homeless to detention centers, said Vorn Pao, head of the Independent Democracy of Informal Economic Association (IDEA), a group that monitors informal workers.
Last Tuesday, IDEA gathered almost 2,000 people, mostly farmers, for an ASEAN Grassroots People's Assembly in Phnom Penh, but police scared the venue owner into cutting the electricity, which ended the event, Vorn Pao said. "The government should not be frightened of this, but they often restrict ... activity," he said. "They try to stop events where people may criticize the government."
Cambodian government spokesman Phay Siphan rejected such criticism Monday and insisted the world leaders' meetings will showcase recent economic progress.
"What they complain about does not reflect the real situation in Cambodia. Freedom of expression is much better here than other members of ASEAN," he said. As for any U.S. efforts to raise human rights issues this week, "we appreciate and respect their concerns," he said.
The airport arrests disappointed Am Sam Ath, technical supervisor for Licadho, a human rights watchdog in Phnom Penh, who says the group has trained more than 5 million people since 1992.
"Civil society, the opposition and journalists have all been threatened by the government's use of the court system," he said. He sees hope in better informed citizens and their shrinking fear of the police.
"Right now, even if the government tries to threaten them, they know their rights. 'SOS' will be used by many other groups," he predicted.
At Boeng Kak, a former lake area filled in by the government for development, Tep Vanny, 32, led about 100 residents and former residents in demonstrations Sunday and Monday, holding large SOS signs.
"We want Obama and Hillary Clinton to talk about human rights and the land issue when they meet the Cambodian government and further encourage the government to respect the democratic system," she said.
She gave up her grocery store and suffered prison in her three-year fight to avoid eviction and secure land titles. Her husband has been suspended from the Cambodian navy for her activism.
"I am happy if Cambodia has development, as our future will be better, but instead, we lost everything, as development only helps the powerful, rich groups," she said. Compared with the brutal but quick murder meted out by the Khmer Rouge in the early 1970s, "now in Cambodia they use corruption to kill people. It's a slow, heartbreaking death," she said.
At Tep Vanny's women's workshop, Sabo Soth, 60, feels "hopeless" about helping her daughter, Bo Pha, 31, a self-taught activist jailed for more than two months without charge. "Her (8-year-old) son wakes up a lot at night, terrified," she said. "I hope Obama, the most influential leader, could do something."
Disputes over land, often taken by developers with close government contacts, risk impoverishing large numbers of Cambodian people, said Rupert Abbot, a Cambodia-based researcher at Amnesty International. At the same time, "we're seeing the emergence of a real civil society, grass-roots groups ... getting stronger and beginning to link up," he said. "There's been an increase in community activism and an increase in crackdowns."
At her village beside Phnom Penh airport, Chray Nim repeats the words she wants the U.S. president to hear. "I hope Obama will tell Hun Sen to respect the people and the residents' human rights," she said. "After he leaves, I could be evicted, arrested again and accused of inciting social disorder. I hope Western countries will keep paying attention to these issues."

the first period.

Senior Day Photo Gallery
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The sixth-ranked Harvard women's hockey team, which scored three power-play goals, withstood a late surge by Yale, earning a 4-3 win against the Bulldogs Saturday afternoon at Bright Hockey Center. On Senior Day, four Harvard players chipped in with a goal, as Randi Griffin, Jillian Dempsey, Leanna Coskren and Kaitlin Spurling lit the lamp. Laura Bellamy made 15 saves, while Kylie Stephens recorded three stops to combine for the victory in net.
Harvard, which improves to 15-5-4 overall, 11-5-2 in ECAC Hockey and 6-2-2 in Ivy League action, earned a 5-on-3 power play late in the first period. The Crimson capitalized, as Griffin deflected a slap shot by Cori Bassett through Yale goaltender Jackee Snikeris's legs at 19:39. Kathryn Farni was credited with the secondary assist on the play after grabbing control of a loose puck and swinging a pass to Bassett.
The Crimson opened the second period with another power-play tally, as Dempsey tipped in a rebound in front at 0:39. Kelsey Romatoski sent a pass in front and Liza Ryabkina placed a shot on goal. Dempsey corralled the puck and knocked it home, putting Harvard ahead, 2-1. After Yale (9-13-3, 7-10-1, 1-5-1) netted a power-play goal of its own at 3:39, Coskren notched Harvard's next goal, also on a power play at 10:59. Buesser and Bassett earned assists on the third Crimson goal. Harvard continued its offensive surge at 13:36, as Spurling knocked in a one-timer after receiving a cross-ice pass from Romatoski, making it 4-1.
In the third, Bray Ketchum cut Harvard's lead to 4-2, as she found the back of the net at 15:41. With time winding down, Yale pulled Snikeris, giving the Bulldogs an extra skater. Yale capitalized, as Samantha MacLean made it a one-goal game at 18:58. The Bulldogs managed two more shots in the third, but both were blocked as Harvard held on for the win.
Following the game, Bassett, Kathryn Farni, Grffin, Christina Kessler and Anna McDonald were honored for their playing careers at Harvard, including a video board presentation.
Harvard will return to action by hosting Northeastern in the championship game of the Beanpot Tuesday, Feb. 9 at 8 p.m.
