How to motivate your child to get off the couch
Updated On: Oct 23 2013 10:49:10 AM CDT
With the lure of television, computers, tablets, phones and other electronic devices, it can be a struggle to motivate some kids to get off the couch and get active.
If this is a problem with your child, PBS.org recommends limiting your child's TV and computer time. It also suggests scheduling play dates for your child, go to the playground and other places where kids will have fun while being active, and spending time being active as a family.
Once you get your child off the couch, it's important to involve him or her in activities he or she will enjoy. The American Heart Association recommends that children older than 2 years old should be active for at least 30 minutes a day.
KidsHealth.org recommends choosing age-appropriate activities for your child.
For preschoolers, KidsHealth.org recommends involving them in activities that continue to develop their motor skills. Some activities include kicking and throwing a ball, jumping on one foot and completing obstacle courses.
For school-aged kids, KidsHealth.org suggests finding a sport – either team or individual – that your child shows interest in. If your child isn't interested in joining an organized sport, consider having him or her try biking, hiking or even just playing outside.
For teens the challenge of being active can be time. As teens' schedules get busy with school and afterschool jobs they might find it hard to fit in sports and other physical activities. Parents can help their teens manage their schedules to make time for sports and other interests, like yoga.

Winners of NSF Visualization Challenge 2008 Announced
Remember the NSF visualization challenge announced at the beginning of this year? Nine months have come and gone, and the winners (and several honorable mentions), from five categories, were announced today. Above is Life in a Biofilm, which won honorable mention in the Informational Graphics category, by Andrew Dopheide and Gillian Lewis from University of Auckland.
Doodle Your Way Through the News – DoodleBuzz
I feel like I've been seeing and writing a lot about artistic visualization lately. Maybe it's because summer's ending and all the designers are finishing up their side projects. I dunno. In any case, Brendan Dawes provides you with a way to explore the news by doodling and scribbling. The piece is called DoodleBuzz. Type in a search term and then start doodling. News results (via the Daylife API) shoot off whatever path you draw.
DoodleBuzz spawned from Brendan's desire to browse the news in a way that was completely different from the usual top-down scrolling we're used to seeing on the Web:
DoodleBuzz was born out of an idea to create an entirely new way of exploring information - one that allows for a kind of "quiet chaos" that gives people the opportunity to explore unthought of paths and connections along their news gathering journey. You may start at Iraq but end up finishing on Britney, whilst taking in The Catholic Church, Global Warming and 50 Cent.
I don't know about you, but the "quiet chaos" gave me a small headache. What do you think? Go try it and let us know what you think in the comments.

Visualization Workshop in Madrid – Database City
It's hard to believe that it's been almost a year since I was in Madrid at the Medialab-Prado for the Visualizar workshop. It was a two-week event where designers from all around got together and created projects focused on data. There was a wide variety of data-centric projects on Twitter, email, art, spam, and traffic (above). I worked with migration data. It was also a pretty diverse group – computer science, graphic design, and of course, me, the token statistician.
Call for Projects and Papers
Now it's time for Visualizar 2008: Database City. There's an open call for projects and papers with the idea of a database city. Imagine a city where there are displays that show energy consumption, pollution, or carbon footprint. What would that city look like? Would we act differently with that type of information right in front of us?
From the Visualizar page:
Urban environments, which are becoming increasingly dense, complex and diverse, are one of contemporary society's largest "databases", daily generating volumes of information that require new methods of analysis and understanding.
How can we use the data visualization and information design resources to understand the processes governing contemporary cities and better manage them? What can we learn from studying traffic and pedestrian movement flows through the streets of Madrid? What would happen if we filled the streets with screens providing information updated each moment about water and electricity consumption?
Important Dates
This year's workshop is also two weeks long from November 5 - 18 and no doubt you will learn a lot. The Medialab-Prado offers housing to participants at a youth hostel and will also consider covering traveling expenses on a case-by-case basis. Submission deadline is October 5.
Beautiful Generative Computer Art – Metamorphosis
Glenn Marshall has released his finished version of Metamorphosis, a beautiful piece of computer generative art programmed in Processing. I wish I knew a bit more about what I was seeing, but I can only guess that the branches and butterflies follow certain laws of nature and rules defined by the music (I hope). Nevertheless, it's beautiful. Here's the video below, but go to Vimeo to watch the video in all it's HD glory.

maeve Installation Shows Relationships Between Projects
The Interface Design Team at the University of Potsdam revealed maeve last week. It's an installation that lets users place physical project cards on an interactive surface and see the relationships between those projects. Move cards over the surface and the network relationships (e.g. inspired by, social relation) follow. The more cards that you throw on, the more relationships that form.
Here's the demo video:
Pretty. I would love to have one of these as my coffee table (sort of like the Microsoft one).
[Thanks, Moritz]
Art of Mathematics – Visualization of Dynamical Systems
Dynamical systems are mathematical models used to describe the time-dependent position of a point's position in ambient space. For example, a dynamical system could be used to describe the movement of a swinging pendulum. The way the pendulum moves is based on the laws of physics, but trajectory, velocity, acceleration, etc changes over time. Over at the University of Liverpool is a series of visualizations by mathematicians around the world that shows such dynamical systems.
Lasse Rempe, a mathematician, describes the beauty of these visualization in this video on the BBC. Many more beautiful pieces in the video and explanation of the underlying structures.
Tree Map to Show Losses by Major Companies
Taking after Map of the Market, the New York Times uses tree maps to show a year of heavy losses by major companies. It's a pretty sad state of affairs. Content aside though, this is certainly one of the reasons the Times is so popular among the infographics crowd. Data visualization isn't just bar graphs and time series plots.

How Consumers Around the World Spend Their Money
This pseudo-map graphic from The New York Times shows how consumers in different countries spend their money. Squares represent selected countries and are sized and colored according to spending in 2007. As you might expect, the United States does some heavy spending on clothing and footwear.
Does the graphic remind you of anything? The Times put up a different pseudo-map in force-directed graph format for the olympic medals. What do you prefer – pseudo-map or traditional?
How Eating Ice Cream and Feeling Gross Leads to Alcholism
This stream of consciousness video (below) from Current is complete with animated infographics and some lovely narration.

However, I do know that the narrator's voice is both reassuring and soothing, and I am ten times smarter after watching it.

OneGeology Wants to Be Geological Equivalent of Google Maps
There's lots of free geographical data about what's going on at the surface of our planet. It's a different story for what going on underneath though. OneGeology aims to be the solution to that problem.
OneGeology is an international initiative of the geological surveys of the world and a flagship project of the 'International Year of Planet Earth'. Its aim is to create dynamic geological map data of the world available via the web. This will create a focus for accessing geological information for everyone.
I've never been one for the geology, but if the data (and interactive maps) were easily accessible, there certainly would be a peak in interest.

See the World Through SimCity's Eyes – One Up On OnionMap
Michael comments, "Onionmap is nothing when compared to this Chinese site...They've practically mapped out the entire Shanghai (and quite a few other China cities) in a SimCity-like fashion! Amazing stuff!" He's completely right. Edushi maps Shanghai with great detail. While OnionMap looks like Google Maps with SimCity sprinkles, Edushi is just straight up SimCity.
Unfortunately my three years of Chinese classes in high school did me no good, and I don't understand a thing on the site. Maybe someone can translate and let us know what Edushi is all about. Chinese CitySearch?
[Thanks, Michael]
Interactive Graph Visualization System – Skyrails
Skyrails is an interactive graph visualization system that looks a lot like a video game. Explore relationships, visit nodes, and immerse yourself in the data. As I watch the demo video on YouTube, I feel like I'm seeing another world.
You've got the standard ball and stick view. Whether it's useful for analysis or deeper understanding of relationships between whatever is up for debate, but one thing's for sure – it looks cool. Plus the code is open source.
[Thanks, Atilla]

Tracking Hurricane Gustav – How Hard is it Going to Hit?
Stamen has taken a step towards the concrete with their recent Hurricane Tracker for MSNBC. From what I can tell, it updates every couple of hours or so. The tracker shows where Hurricane Gustav has been and where it's headed and provides information on wind speed, ground speed, and location.
From the map we see a development from tropical depression in the Caribbean Sea, to a big category 4 over Pinar Del Rio, and then something between a category 3 and 2 as it moves over New Orleans. Gustav dwindles to a tropical storm as it moves towards Dallas. With mandatory evacuations of New Orleans starting yesterday, here's to hoping everyone finds somewhere safe to stay.
How Open Should Open Source Data Visualization Be?
I used to ride my bike to school, and I always forgot my U-lock. Instead of riding back for it, I'd just stash my bike unlocked in between a cluster of bikes. I told my friend jokingly, "It'll be OK. 98% of people are good." One day I got out of class, and my bike was stolen.
I was cleaning up some Actionscript in preparation for a tutorial post on how to make your own animated Walmart map, but a couple of bad memories involving stolen code and bad knockoffs (of my work) stopped me midway. I had to think:
Is releasing my code the best thing to do?
I'm sure the consensus is a resounding yes, but what's to stop some lazy person from ripping off my code and pawning it off (or worse, selling it) as their own? What if I want to sell my visualizations? I am after all a lowly graduate student. It'd be nice to have another income stream.
On the other hand, had others before me not released their work under that wonderful BSD license, I would not be able to do what I do. At least not as easily. Modest Maps? Free. TweenFilterLite? Free. Flare Visualization Toolkit? Free. If I don't follow suit, does that make me selfish? Yes, it does.
Giving Back to the Community
I've heard that phrase, giving back, so many times in both the real-life sense and the digital one, but it never made much sense to me. I mean, I got it, but I never really got it.
Perhaps I never understood it, because I wasn't using much of the community's resources nor did I have anything to give back. I have something to give back now. I can help people learn in the same way that others before me have and still do. I'm incredibly thankful to those who maintain these open source projects and still help me out from time to time when there's really nothing in it for them.
The least I can do is continue to promote this idea of openness and help this small field of data visualization flourish into what it deserves to be. It's why I blog, and it's why I should give back, but to what extent?
Making the Case for Open Source Data Visualization
My dilemma brought me back to a Data Evolution post on open source data visualization. It highlighted three things:
- Open Tools – As in freely available software tools like R and Processing.
- Open Code – How often have you seen a visualization and wondered, "How did they do that? If only the code were available."
- Open Data – Oh so important in data visualization. The core. Open data means more people can try out different methods.
It's not always possible to attain all three. For example, we pay money for software because the companies would not exist otherwise. It's a business, and to think that software companies would develop a bunch of free software is unrealistic. Also, oftentimes, data just can't be shared – usually because of privacy issues. Lastly, open code doesn't make sense a lot of the time. The DE post grades The New York Times with a D for openness, but they're a news business, not a visualization repository.
While we can't always attain all of three things, there's no reason why we can't try to strive towards that ideal. As someone I know likes to say – strive for perfection. You might not reach that standard, but you could end up with something close.
Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in.
Tweeting Thoughts
I of course tweeted this in the middle of the night while watching the day's remaining olympic events - to release code or not to release code. Here are are some of the replies:
@rpj: To release, always! (When legally possible.)
@ehrenc: re: code. You could always release half the code :)
@pims to release code. There's some brilliant people around that can build on top of what you did. Open world :)
As for me, well, let's just say you should expect to see tutorials – complete with code – in the coming weeks.
Look at My Neato Lollipop Chart – Widgenie
As some commented on an earlier post, FusionCharts provides an easy way for people to hack together statistical graphics - sometimes not so attractively - and put the results on their websites. Widgenie serves as case in point. The concept of the application is all well and good. Upload some data and embed the "interactive" graphic on your blog, website, etc.
The realization of that idea however, needs some work. Aside from my difficulties logging on, changing my password, and non-flexible data upload, the widgets are, for the most part, just FusionCharts out of the box. Like the lollipop I made (below)?

Plummeting Infographics from I.O.U.S.A – A Nation in Debt
I haven't seen I.O.U.S.A. yet, but from the online bonus clips, it looks like it could be a good watch for you infographics junkies. The documentary examines the growing national debt and the consequences it will have on its citizens, so the source material sort of lends itself to plummeting time series charts with dramatic flare.
Here's one showing personal savings rate over time:
Deficits and social security over time:
Debt-to-GDP projections:
A $53 Trillion Federal Financial Hole:
Those are just the bonus clips. I'm sure there are plenty more in the actual documentary.

History's Greatest Journeys – Wanderlust from GOOD
GOOD Magazine, in collaboration with Graham Roberts, maps the most famous journeys in history - some fiction, some non-fiction. Wanderlust includes trips like Around the World in 80 Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth to the voyages of Marco Polo and Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight. However, it's not just a map with journey lines on it; Wanderlust is a history lesson. Select a trip for a summary and explore highlights of the journey.

|This is the view from the parking lot on the side of the house. That cement building in the right is across the street
There was one down side to this establishment: there was no air conditioning in the house- that made it a little balmy. There were open windows bringing in some fresh air and fans running to help circulate it, but I think this is the type of restaurant that we'll go back to when it is a little cooler!
I wouldn't go if you were in a rush as the wife cooks the food to order, one dish at a time. She brings them out like most restaurants in Okinawa: as they're ready, so you might be eating before your dining companions, which is customary here and not at all considered rude- eat your food while it's hot!
Coming from McT:
- Exit the base and make a right.
- Continue on the 8 until it turns into the 10. There will be a split kind of by the Family Mart with the HUGE Shisa statue- bear to the left here.
- Keep driving, enjoying the view, looking on your right for the blue house. There were banners on the sidewalk and we just missed the place- but we were able to pop a u-turn at the next little side street.
- If you reach White Beach, you're gone too far.
- There is a little driveway taking you to a grassy area out back where you can park.
Coming from Courtney (how I would go):
- Drive south on the 75 until you reach the 8. Make a left onto the 8 and follow the above directions from there.
Coming from Kadena (how I would go):
- Take gate 3 straight (the 26, past Camp Shields) and turn left onto the 329.
- Keep going until you get see signs for the 329 towards Uruma. It will be just past a bowling alley. I think it's a Lawson's you'll turn at (I KNOW, just, the Lawson's past the bowling alley).
- When you see signs for the 8 you'll be turning right onto it.
- You will drive past McT (it will be on your right) and from there follow the directions as listed above.
If you go, I hope you love it as much as we did!

Kelcie McCray
Wed Oct 2, 2013 7:13 pm Bucs claimed S Kelcie McCray off waivers from the Dolphins.
Fantasy Source Spin: McCray takes the roster spot vacated by S Ahmad Black. McCray was reportedly "in the mix" to earn the Dolphins' starting free safety job in the spring. That quickly amounted to nothing. He appeared in all four games for Miami this season but didn't register on the stat sheet. McCray is pure depth.
Sat May 18, 2013 5:38 pm The South Florida Sun-Sentinel confirms Kelcie McCray is "in the mix" for the Dolphins' free safety job.
Fantasy Source Spin: McCray went undrafted in 2012 and spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve, but the Dolphins are counting on him to take a big step forward now that he's finally healthy. There isn't much in the way of other current options after Miami didn't address free safety in the draft. McCray will compete for a starting role with Chris Clemons and Jimmy Wilson in training camp.
Source: South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Fri Mar 22, 2013 3:07 am Dolphins coach Joe Philbin is "excited" about second-year FS Kelcie McCray.
Fantasy Source Spin: A 2012 minicamp star, undrafted rookie McCray missed his entire first season with a broken foot. McCray goes 6-foot-2, 202 and ran 4.55 at last year's Combine. He could push Chris Clemons for Miami's free safety job this summer.
Source: Miami Herald
Tue Jul 31, 2012 11:21 pm Dolphins undrafted rookie S Kelcie McCray revealed Tuesday night that he fractured his foot in training camp practice.
Fantasy Source Spin: A promising UDFA, McCray will likely be waived/injured Wednesday and spend his rookie year "redshirting" on I.R. He played college ball at Arkansas State.

About meMy family is my life, and I help my husband run a lawn care and snow maintenance business. When I am not running between one school function,sports event,party,appt,or errand...I read. I love my quiet time. The family makes fun of me, beacuse I go nowhere without a book, because you never know when a good read moment will come up.
About my libraryI have a little of everything. You will more than likely not find a lot of those silly romance novels. If it is a love story, it will be one with a real story line, not just lust, and page after page of unrealistic sex. The ones I have listed are only the ones I can actually think of with out going shelf by shelf. I do tend to swap with people, and my library is ever growing. I have a store of books that I have not read yet. Do I list those as well? Noooo...Anyway, this site is going to help me organize my shelves (old and new).

A special ass-shakin' evening with the "Queen of Bounce"
Big Freedia
Super Special Guest DJ Beyonda
Doug Fir Lounge
830 E. Burnside St.
Portland, OR, 97214
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Big Freedia is an accomplished "Bounce" Rapper who lives in New Orleans and performs six or more times a week in various venues throughout the city. Bounce is an original urban music rising up from the intimate and fun-loving nature of the housing projects which dominate the city's street culture. "Sissy Bounce" is the informal name for a derivative of Bounce that has risen to prominence in recent years and features explicitly gay and cross-dressing musicians and themes. Big Freedia is at the forefront of this movement and has had several New Orleans hit singles such as "Gin in My System" and "Azz Everywhere!" from her albums "An Ha, Oh Yeah" (1999) and "Queen Diva" (2003). Freedia began her musical career almost 15 years ago at the Walter L. Cohen High School in New Orleans, where she was enlisted as choir director from her Sophomore to Senior years. She sees her performance as a Bounce artist as an extension of this work, often interacting in a call and response/teacher and student, fashion with her audiences. She recently developed a musical about her life entitled "Catch That Beat" with producer Lucky Johnson. The sold out first run of "Catch That Beat" featured cameo appearances by a who's who of New Orleans Bounce artists alongside the story of Freedia's upbringing in New Orleans 3rd Ward. She performs in various venues (often decorated by her own event production business) and has recently begun traveling outside the city with the encouragement and support of the New Orleans Airlift. Big Freedia has always acted as mentor for many younger artists, is currently recording her third record and recently returned from a stellar 6 show run in New York City, performing sold out shows with Spank Rock, Ninjasonik and many others at venues such as Santos Party House, Glasslands, and Sway. This year Freedia will be returning to South By Southwest, performing at multiple events including a retrospective Bounce Showcase and a historic second performance at Gay Bi Gay Gay after a short tour of the west coast with New Orleans collaborators Galactic, whom she performed with on the critically-acclaimed 2010 album "Ya-Ka-May".

BTW, the puffadder bites more people in SA than any other snake.
This is mainly because the puff-adder is a very sedentry snake which spends most of it's time lying up in grass only coming out in the open during the early morning (to sunbathe) and at night. Other venomous snakes tend to lie up in trees or under rocks or other cover and are often more visible due to their colouration.
Unsuspecting people tread on the very well camoflagued puff-adder as they walk through the veld and the puff-adder reacts by biting their 'attacker', mostly on the ankle or calf.
With most wild animals, if you give them an escape route they will run rather than attack but, if you invade their space or accidentally or deliberately harm them they will resort to defensive action. However, the puff-adder is less likely to run away than most other snake species and so extra care must be taken when out walking.
I have been very close to puff-adders (and other venomous snakes) but have never had any reason to fear attack as I am very cautious about my approach and am very careful when walking 'off-road'.

Just had some adrenalin for lunch. Was out on our premises trying to creep up to some Cape Francolins for a photo. Next moment I feel something "rubbery" under foot and hear a loud hiss.
Could only manage this photo of the poor puff adder that had to bear part of my 100kg weight! Anyone care to identify it.

From a snake pamphlet I keep close at hand just incase (it gives tips on what to do if bitten). Thought you 'd be interested in the remarks on the colouring.
Puffadder - An easily identified species, being heavy-bodied with a flat, diamond shaped head. Colours vary from bright yellows and black to a drab brown and black variety. The cytotxic venom makes it the most dangerous snake in the Border region, causing intense pain, massive swelling and tissue necrosis...

This shows how well these snakes are camouflaged It also shows that these animals usually give a warning before they strike. I think my heart would have stopped if I'd heard that warning hiss.
Count yourself very lucky that you didn't step on it. Although you are close to an excellent medical facility (Stellenbosch Mediclinic) you would have been in a helluvalot of pain and would have suffered from serious tissue necrosis

Definately a puff adder IMHO
Definately a lucky man. We had an encounter with a poffadder on our farm in touws rivier. With a young niece standing on one while i was tryin to show off my tracking skills to her on the trail of the local bbj
The only thing that saved her life was our walk started at 7am, and with being poikilothermic the snake was still gathering heat from the sun and was in a trance like state while doing so. They are extremely sluggish while cold (temerature drops pretty drastically at night) and luckily it was too cold to slither away let alone strike.
Wintertime is a lucky time (if there were to be a lucky time) to step on or surprise any snake.
kinda makes you want to walk about in thick jeans and waders for a few weeks after an experience like that
nice to have you still posting )

Francoisd, how loud was the hiss. A puffadder hisses like nothing else.
Very loud. At first I thought I stood on a big mushroom or something that was now deflating due to the better part of 100kg stepping on it, but then I saw movement? Must say that this all happened in less than 2 seconds.
wildtuinman wrote
Also how long was it approximately?
About 1m, so I think this is the mom or dad of the other Puff Adders on our premesis
wildtuinman wrote
I say it is a puffadder and that u r an awesome lucky man as a puffadder's strike is one of the fastest in the world and it is the typical way many people get hit by a "puffy" in africa everyday.
As mentioned somewhere above it is winter time now. We had some warm days in Stellenbosch the past two days and this snake was lying in a patch of sunlight. I'm sure it was not fully awake or else I would most propably not have had time to take a quick photo I also stood on the snake's head that might jave helped a bit. At least I now have an idea of where to find one if I ever need to.

Interesting thing was that 5 Guinea fowl walked past the same spot were the snake was lying (they must have been nearly on top of it) without the snake making any sound. It only sounded when it saw us. Maybe it did not see the birds as a threat?

What does one do if bitten by a puff adder?
You should apply a tight bandage (such as a crepe bandage) to the wound to prevent the toxin from spreading; check for SABC (Safety - the snake is no longer in the area to bite you!; Airway - it is open and the victim is not vomitting or is otherwise restricted; Breathing, is it regular or distressed?; and Circulation - do they still have a heartbeat?
First Aid qualifications are not only important in the bush but, as I can personally testify having attended road accidents, are important in every walk of life.
Only Cytotoxic envenomation should be treated with a tight bandage however - haemotoxic and neurotoxic envenomation require different first aid treatments.
I thoroughly recommend the Game Ranger (Field Guiding) course on wildlifecampus (www.wildlifecampus.com) which has a module which is specifically focussed on first-aid for snake bite and there are a couple of books (the titles elude me right now) which give comprehensive information on this subject. Anyone who is interested in these books can pvt me and I will happily look out my books and give you the titles and USBN's

We came across this Puffadder lying on the H4-2 last Tuesday at about 4.30pm. We thought it might have been run over at first as it seemed very reluctant to move but then on closer inspection noticed that its tongue was flicking in and out.

I came across these two puffadders having a wrestling match near Nwanetsi last April. They didn't appear too agressive, so I don't know if it was territorial or not.

Thanks, forumites. Can anyone tell the sexes of the snakes? Is it two males in territorial combat or a courting couple?

A campaign targeting Marlborough's drinking culture has got people talking, but there is still a way to go, police say.
Marlborough area commander Inspector Simon Feltham said police had been heavily involved with the Know Your Limit campaign and found it was being well received.
But officers were still dealing with people in and around town who were heavily intoxicated, Mr Feltham said.
"We've still got a bit to do in relation to the way people are drinking," he said.
Campaign co-ordinator Russell Montgomery said it would run until February, and would get another big push this weekend.
Its effectiveness would be difficult to gauge until it was over and statistics from the police, hospital and ambulance had been analysed, he said.
The main target was a reduction in drink-driving. From what he understood, the number of drivers stopped by police this holiday season was higher, and the number of drink-driving offenders was down.
The campaign - which involved police, Marlborough District Council, health providers, bar owners, supermarkets, Drug Arm, food outlets and taxi drivers - encourages drinkers to know their limits and stick to them over the holiday period.
Mr Montgomery said street stencils of the "Know Your Limit" logo had proved an effective way to promote discussion. Other tools including coasters and posters in pubs and handing out burger vouchers to drinkers.
Mr Feltham said officers were also using tools made available to them through new alcohol legislation that came into effect last month.
Licensed premises had been very co-operative, he said.
But many people continued to breach the liquor ban and police would continue to enforce those rules.

West African Truckers
The truck driver holds a mythic stature in American music, from the hayseed hagiographies of Slim Jacobs and Bobby Sykes to the liner notes of Big Black's Songs About Fucking. There aren't as many country songs about African truckers, but they are no less the virile champions of industry and gluteal fortitude than their US counterparts. On their backs rest the burden of an entire continent's economic development and through their bloodstreams runs a hell of a lot of the continent's HIV.
Trade in West Africa is perennially fucked, partially because the colonial powers of the 19th and early-20th centuries chopped the place up into a pizza pie of nonsensical borders, but also because most postcolonial governments in the region were so unabashedly corrupt we had to coin the term kleptocracy to describe them. Driving a semi full of margarine a US state's length to its delivery point often involves passing through three or four separate countries and navigating the byzantine customs and immigration processes at each port of entry. Then there are the internal checkpoints manned by local police and customs agents on the lookout for smugglers, or nonsmugglers who can be intimidated into coughing up a bribe. Then there's just fuckers who'll pull you over and straight-up rob you. Infrastructure ain't always so hot here, either.
All of which turns shipments that would take a few hours in Europe or America into grueling, day-cum-week-cum-month-long affairs punctuated by long and unpredictable periods of complete standstill. Which, in addition to wasting fuel and driving up the cost of goods with every unplanned stop, also fuels the sort of boredom that can only be fought by dumping money into the less savory sectors of the economy. Namely booze sales and roadside prostitution. Which is where the AIDS comes in.
Intrigued by the African long-haul trucker's dual reputation as the foundational building block of West Africa's would-be robust economy and lotharious Johnny AIDS-leseed, we hitched a ride with a trailer full of soap to see just how hard it is to get from point A to point basically A and a half.

Sex claims were a factor in Lord Rennard's early retirement, hints Nick Clegg
Related Articles
Published: 27 February 2013
Nick Clegg shifted ground on the Lord Rennard scandal yet again today, this time hinting that the hidden sex scandal was a factor in the peer's early retirement in 2009.
The Deputy Prime Minister said allegations of improper conduct to women had been "in the background" when it was decided Lord Rennard would step down because of ill health. That contrasted with the official version that he left office for health reasons alone.
In another dramatic change from his indignant reaction to earlier criticism this week, the Lib-Dem leader admitted his party made "very serious mistakes" in the way it handled the informal complaints made by several women.
In a third change of tone, he also praised the journalists who exposed the Rennard scandal, in contrast with his remarks yesterday about "self-appointed detectives" in the media.
"There were some very serious mistakes and the women were not listened to and were let down," Mr Clegg confessed during his weekly phone-in on LBC 97.3 radio. "I so much believe it is crucial you treat people with respect and dignity in everything you do — and that is what I expect of people in the organisation I lead. That, clearly, did not happen here, to put it mildly."
His apologetic tone was more in line with party president Tim Farron who admitted on Monday that the Lib-Dems had "screwed up".
Mr Clegg insists he did not know of any specific allegations — strongly denied by Lord Rennard — to his office in 2008 that women were touched inappropriately. Nevertheless, he suggested it influenced the peer's departure on health grounds months later.
"Like any new leader, I wanted to make sure the organisation reflected my priorities, my values," he declared. "I felt it was time for a change at the top of the professional party. His health was poor and that was the immediate reason he left but of course these things were in the background."
Senior Lib-Dem sources said the peer genuinely left for health reasons but, with the touching claims and another over his expenses, recently-elected Mr Clegg wanted to be a new broom.
Among a daily spate of fresh claims, Mr Clegg was asked about a report that ex-MP Sandra Gidley told him of concerns in 2007 or 2008. He said: "She raised it in general terms. She wasn't aware of any specific allegations."
Lord Rennard made a statement last night promising to "co-operate with any properly-constituted inquiry".

Primary schools to ban calculators because children have become too 'dependent' on them
The use of calculators will be banned in primary school exams and severely restricted in lessons because children have become 'dependent' on them, ministers announced today.
English pupils are among the heaviest users of calculators in the world because current rules allow schools to introduce them freely from the age of seven.
Under a crackdown unveiled by Education Minister Liz Truss, schools will be told to avoid introducing calculators until the final year of primary school, when most children are 10.
No more calculators: The use of calculators will be banned in primary school tests and restricted in lessons
Pupils will also be barred from using calculators in national tests for 11-year-olds.
Currently they are able to use the devices to answer straightforward test questions such as 911 - 447.
Announcing the change, Mrs Truss called for an end to the habit of 'simply reaching for the calculator' to work out basic sums.
She warned that children's 'dependence' on calculators for basic maths was preventing them from gaining a true mastery of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
She said that international studies showed how 98 per cent of 10-year-olds in England were allowed to use calculators in maths lessons - far higher than the global average of 46 per cent.
Countries where calculators were banned in primary-level tests were outstripping England in national rankings.
Banned: Pupils will also not be allowed to use calculators in national tests for 11-year-olds
Our 15-year-olds slumped to 27th place in an international league table of maths performance in 2009.
'Maths influences all spheres of our daily lives, from working out the change from your shopping to an architect's calculations in designing the latest London skyscraper,' said Mrs Truss.
'The irony is that while maths is all around us, it seems to have become acceptable to be "bad with numbers". The habit of simply reaching for the calculator to work things out only serves to worsen that problem.
'All young children should be confident with methods of addition, subtraction, times tables and division before they pick up the calculator to work out more complex sums.
'By banning calculators in the maths test, we will reduce the dependency on them in the classroom for the most basic sums.
'Children will have a solid grounding in the basics so they can grow up to be comfortable with the maths they will need in their adult lives.'
The current maths curriculum for primary schools suggests introducing calculators at age seven.
The Government's proposed new blueprint, due to be introduced from 2014, says that calculators should only be introduced 'near the end' of the primary years.
In practice, for most pupils, this will be their final year - year six.
The rules will also stipulate that pupils should only be allowed to use calculators if they are 'secure in written and mental arithmetic'.
Children could then use calculators to 'explore more complex problems' such as converting a simple fraction to a decimal fraction, for example 3 divided by 8.
In a further move, pupils will be banned from using calculators in national tests for 11-year-olds from 2014.
Poor performance: The UK is lagging behind other countries where calculators were banned
They are currently able to use them in one of two written maths tests; there is also a short mental arithmetic test.
Mrs Truss said the change would bring England into line with countries at the top of international league tables for maths performance such as Massachusetts, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Welcoming the announcement, Greg Wallace, executive principal of the Best Start Federation, a group of primary schools in north London, said: 'We have to ensure all children can perform calculations using efficient written methods.
'Children need to develop fluency with these concrete methods so that they can perform pencil and paper calculations with ease.
'Removing the calculator from the papers will increase the focus on developing children's fluency in the written number operations.
'Nobody is saying that calculators do not have many benefits; nor are calculators being banned from primary schools. Instead, a clear signal is being given to increase the focus on ensuring every child can successfully perform the relevant written methods for the core number operations.'
Here are five typical questions from maths tests for 11-year-olds that pupils can use calculators to answer:
1. Tickets for a school play cost £2.75 each. Dev sold 23 tickets. How much ticket money did Dev collect?
2. Holly collected £77 altogether from selling tickets. How many tickets did she sell?
3. Here are three calculations. Indicate if the answer is greater than 450.
a) 863 divided by 2
b) 911 - 447
c) 149 + 137 + 158
ANSWERS: 1. £63.25 2. 28 tickets 3 a) 431.5 / no b) 464 / yes c) 444 / no
