The project will identify, analyse and profile existing training opportunities, survey training needs in the sector to identify the key skills and competences required of digital curators. It will establish a curriculum framework from which training can be developed in future.

EUNAMUS: New project researching on European national museums
July 2010
Eunamus is an EU-funded research project that has started its work in April 2010. In this project, eight university departments explore the creation and power of European national museums. The idea underpinning Eunamus is that narrating and displaying the nation at museums impact the ways in which people understand themselves and connect or disconnect with the nation and its surrounding areas or wider spatial scales.
Eunamus research looks at the development of a formative museum infrastructure, explicit narratives in museums and implicit narratives in collections, museum architectures, geographies and virtual communities. It also investigates the hopes and utopias that cultural policy makers have placed on museums and will launch a study on how national museums are viewed from the citizen perspective.
Further information is available on the project's website.

Marcus Miller's combination of soulful groove and astounding technical ability has made him one of the jazz world's preeminent virtuoso bassists. Fender's stylish five-string Marcus Miller Jazz Bass® V guitar is soulful and astounding, too. It has an ash body, distinctive black pickguard/control plate, one-piece C-shaped maple neck, 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard with white binding and white pearl block inlays, Posiflex™ graphite neck support rods, and satin finish (gloss finish on the headstock, plus Miller's signature). Great tone comes from a pair of custom vintage-style Jazz Bass single-coil pickups and an 18-volt active preamp; the two-band active EQ has an active/passive mini-toggle switch. Other features include a chrome neck pickup cover, knurled chrome dome knobs on the volume controls and black Jazz Bass knobs on the tone controls, contoured heel and asymmetrical five-bolt neck plate.

I have owned a couple of electric basses (Warwick, MusicMan, Takamine Fender) and now I wanted a 5 string...
After playing different models from different manufacturers I ended up in buying this Marcus Miller V.
I was handed a brand new bass which was wired up in the wrong way and would not work in active mode but after looking into it, the problem could be resolved without having to return the bass to the factory. Although a serious issue for Fender, I still feel very happy with the comunication with them.
I particularly love the sound and the playability of his bass. Here Fender found the perfect compromise of width of the neck and hence distance between the 5 strings (at least for me and my hand/finger size). The sound and playability of the B-string is very good! I found it difficult to find a 5-string which poves to be as balanced as this Marcus Miller V.
Elfenreiter owns this item
I tried one of these in my local music shop and was instantly hooked. Not usually a fan of 5-strings but I was finding I needed to use one more and more often and didn't enjoy playing the midrange one I had. I was looking for something I would enjoy as much as my top range 4 strings, and quite frankly this is the best 5 string bass I have ever played. In this price bracket there is quite a lot of choice and believe me I've tried pretty much everything available. When I picked it up I was amazed by how light it felt. The neck of this bass is sheer Heaven! Personally I believe the Geddy Lee neck is the best that Fender make and this is like a 5 string version. I prefer a lighter gauge and a low action but this felt perfect to me with it's standard factory setup and strings. The string spacing makes slapping easy. There is a huge range of tonal variation with this bass. It can be adjusted to suit pretty much every style of music I play. Apparently Marcus worked very closely with Fender to develop this bass to his exact specifications and this is immediately evident from the first touch. Normally I make upgrades to basses that I buy, but I can honestly say that this bass is pretty much perfect as it is. The only thing I have done is removed the pickup cover and swapped the plastic tone knobs for the same chrome barrels as the volume controls.
This is rapidly becoming my favourite bass and from a professional point of view, if I was told I could only keep one bass from my fairly large collection, it would have to be this one. As far as I'm concerned, I will never need to buy another 5 string bass!
bass-thing owns this item
I bought this bass new from a dealer in Baton Rouge. I experienced poor quality issues, beginning with a poor treble response. I brought it back to the dealer, where it was sent to an authorized repair center in Hammond LA. When I received the bass back, the issue was still present. The repair center said it was the tone board and replaced it. I think. Still disappointed, I bought a John East, Marcus Miller preamp and installed it. Still not what I wanted. Thinking I had a bad preamp, I sent it back to the dealer I bought it from. They checked it out and sent it back, saying it worked fine. I then decided to reinstall it, but totally disassembled the electronics. Much to my dismay, I discovered the pickups were not wired in properly. After wiring them in correctly, the preamp worked and the bass sounded much better.
I also had the upper strap mount pull out while gigging one night. A toothpick and a screwdriver and I was back in action. While I might consider buying a vintage Jazz, I am less than impressed with the quality of Fender.

WASHINGTON - The nation's capital plans to add 134 traffic cameras next year to its already extensive network of devices that generate tickets for speeding and running red lights.
The Washington Examiner ( http://tinyurl.com/crtchcm) reports that the new cameras will more than double the size of the traffic-camera program in the District of Columbia.
Traffic cameras generated a record $85 million in revenue during the last fiscal year. The D.C. Council recently voted to reduce some fines for motorists caught on camera.
Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice Paul Quander says the cameras are saving lives because they force people to slow down. District officials say traffic fatalities dropped from 72 in 2001 to 32 in 2011.
But detractors say the cameras are driven more by revenue than public safety.

Sanga: Imagine if your sister or daughter had to miss school twice a week to walk 10 kilometers to gather wood for your family to cook with. Millions of girls across the African continent go through this every day. As a matter of fact, my own sister had to miss school twice a week, every week to go and gather wood for my family. But at first, I thought this wasn't a problem for me to solve, until one day.
I used to work for one of the biggest banks in Uganda as an accountant. In Uganda, after you finish school you leave your village and go to find a job in the city. So that meant that I was away from home for long periods of time. After six months without going home, I made the journey to go and see my mother. On my way home, I met my kid sister carrying wood on a day she was supposed to be in school. At first I wasn't surprised, because I also carried wood as a kid. But when she saw me, she started crying. She cried so hard that at first I got confused. I thought maybe my mother was sick, or something terribly wrong had happened to her. Or I even thought that maybe she was overwhelmed with joy because I had not come home for a long time. But when I helped her put the wood down and asked her, "Why are you crying?" she said, "I'm tired of missing school to gather wood." She told me, "You see, all the forests here are gone, so the distances keep increasing. First of all, I can't go to school, but I am also physically tired of doing that. It's hurting me." So I told her, "Don't worry. I gave her a promise. Let's go home. I will tell mother, and convince her to allow me to take you back with me to the capital city where I worked, and I will find you a boarding school where you don't need to gather wood." She was happy, so we went home. But when I proposed this to my mother, she rejected it. She said, "All you guys are grown. I have five sisters, but all of them are married." Most of them married between the age of 13 and 15. So she was the only one left at home. My mother said, "Do you want me, I'm an old woman. Do you want me to be the one going to find this wood?" So that failed.
After my visit I went back to my normal job in the city. But I'm a strong believer in education. Education has changed my life. I wouldn't be here if I didn't go to school. And 99% of kids I started life with didn't get a chance to continue with education. When I go to the village and see the lives they live, it's so heartbreaking. Most of them look like five times my age. They have 15 children already. They are stuck in poverty there. So seeing my sister on the verge of missing the only opportunity she had to improve her life, broke my heart, and I couldn't sleep. I would see her at night in dreams, calling my name, asking me to help her, until I couldn't take it anymore, and I left my job. But I'm an accountant by training. I'm not an engineer. So my first question was, "What are you going to do?" But then I asked myself, "If I stay here in this bank, I'm busy all the time. I can't find time to research anything. Let me just go and see if I can find a solution." Actually my boss, when he was signing my resignation letter, said, "Sanga, you are acting like a madman, but I am going to sign your resignation. Go and fail. I've given you a period of six months. If you fail, come back. Your job will be here." I said, "Thank you, sir." I went, but in my heart I knew I wasn't going to come back.
So I went... The first thing I did is I went to one of the universities in Uganda, which I attended, called Makerere, and went to the engineering department, and looked for the professor that headed the engineering department, and told him that I was trying to find a solution to the energy crisis in Uganda. The first thing he told me, he said, "Young man, I am a professor. I know many things, but I have actually never done anything with my hands, so I also don't know what to do. But what I will do for you is I will give you literature. I have a lot of papers. I have magazines." So he went to his office and got a box full of papers, and said, "Go and read. If you find something interesting, come back to me. I will maybe help you." So I took the box and spent an entire week in the house, reading through these papers, until I came across an article that talked about some trials that were done in the Amazon forest where indigenous people were turning waste, like leafy materials, into fuel and fertilizers. That was very exciting to me. As a matter of fact, as I was reading through that I could see a pile of sugar cane waste outside my window. Uganda is predominantly agriculture. Everyone has a farm. They grow food, mostly subsistence. But there is a lot of waste that no one uses.
I was very excited. I went to the professor and said, "I found a solution." He said, "Calm down, young man. I told you I'm a professor. I don't know how to help you. But I will take you to my class." So he took me to his class, and made me stand in front of the class, and said, "This young man is crazy enough to think that he can solve the energy crisis of this country. Who wants to help him?" And everyone's hand went up. So he took me out and said, "Okay, I'm going to choose 10 students that I'm really sure are very good, and you can use our facilities here. But I warn you, we don't have any research budget for that kind of work here. So you have to fund everything. If there's need for buying things, be prepared to fund that." I said, "No problem."
We started with the 10 students. We tried many things that didn't work. I actually left the bank with about 1.5 million Uganda shillings. That's roughly $500. It was gone in like two months, and we had not really found a solution that worked. As a young man, I had bought a few expensive things, like a television set, a refrigerator, a sofa set, those things that when you are coming out of red you are like, If I first get my job, I will get all these things. I first watched some television when I was 15, so the first thing I bought was a television, because I had never really had a television. I went home and phoned a buyer, brought him to my house, said, "This is what I have. How much are you giving me?" I found a good buyer. He brought a pickup and took everything, and I had some money. The challenge came when my girlfriend came to visit...and found me in an empty house, and asked me, "What is the problem? Have you moved? You didn't tell me." I said, "No, I sold everything." She said, "Are you out of your mind? I thought you were mad when you left your job, but now I am totally sure you are crazy. You need to check yourself in a mental institution." She slammed the door. I didn't see her again for six months. But the good story is, I got the money.
I went back to the university, and with the help of those 10 university students, we built two pieces of technology. One is a kiln, and another one is a briquetting machine. I will be telling you about those pieces of technology later. But that was the foundation. And with that, I was able to start my company, Eco-Fuel Africa, which basically works with local communities to turn locally sourced farm and municipal waste into clean cooking fuel and organic fertilizers, and this is how the business works. The business is based on basically the two pieces of technology. One is a kiln. These are very basic pieces of technology. The kiln is made out of old oil drums. We go to slums and townships and collect or buy old oil drums, remodify them and give them a chimney, and design them in a way that limits the amount of oxygen that goes into the combustion process. We go back to the villages, find farmers with the help of local leaders, train these farmers how to use these kilns, and after the training we give them a kiln on a lease to own basis. The farmers take these kilns back and start converting their farm waste into a powder. We call this powder a char, and we teach these farmers to sieve this powder on screens. Approximately 80% of the powder they make goes through the sieve, and we buy that from the farmers. The coarser portion that remains on top of the screen can be used-- We teach farmers how to mix that with compost, and they can return it to their gardens as a fertilizer called bio-char. So they don't have to buy fertilizers, and they can renew their soils and increase their soil fertility. As a matter of fact, recently we made a survey, and most of these farmers were able to increase their harvest by over 30% using these fertilizers.
After buying this powder from the farmers, we take it to our production facilities. We built a number of production facilities in these villages, where we use the briquetting machines that the students helped us build, to compress them into briquettes that people can use to cook. Our briquettes are 50% cheaper than traditional charcoal from wood. They burn cleaner, and they burn 30 minutes longer compared to wood, so people can save money. Users of our fuel save about $200 a year, because of using this fuel. Because of that, they can cook regular meals. They don't have to deplete forests to cook food, and they don't have to suffer from indoor air pollution. But we don't sell our fuel directly to the consumers. We've created a distribution network where we work with local women to sell this fuel back to the communities. These are everyday women. We go to these communities. We talk to local leaders. They help us identity marginalized women. Most of our women retailers are single mothers, widows, people who would not ordinarily find any other job, have no marketable skills. We train them and build them a well-branded kiosk, which acts like a one-stop shop center... I think my English is right. ... in the village, and people can come and buy fuel, but we also allow them to sell other things like tomatoes, oranges, food, so that people get that one-stop center shopping experience. It makes it easy for them to sell enough briquettes.
We've already created 460 women retailers in these communities. These make about $152 a month in income. This is middle-class income actually in Uganda. It's more than what the government of Uganda pays primary school teachers, for example. With this income, these women can send their children to school. They can buy food for their families, take their children to hospital, and improve their livelihoods. We have made some strides. We started from scratch a few years ago. We now have over 2,500 farmers with our kilns, the kilns I showed you, that supply us with the char. We have 460 women distributors, and over 100,000 people use our fuel on a daily basis in Uganda.
But we are still a drop in the ocean, because currently our biggest challenge is the demand for our fuel exceeds our supply by far. Uganda has 35 million people. We are now reaching only 100,000 plus. We are still very small compared to the demand out there. The biggest challenge we have is that Africa has an infrastructure problem. Some of these villages cannot be accessed. There is no road. So people come from a village and say, "We want your fuel." But there's no road connecting to that village. So that has been a challenge, how to collect all that. But I want to thank National Geographic very much, because last year they gave us a grant that helped us rethink our business model. We created something called franchising...which helped us, micro franchising. It's not a term we created, but the model, we call it micro franchising. Micro franchising basically enables us to eliminate shipping and transporting things over long distances. It enables us to decentralize our production. We go to villages. We find local people who can manage this business. Because there are so many scattered production centers we can't own all of them. We will become insane.
So we empower local communities to manage those businesses. What National Geographic did for us is they gave us money to create a revolving loan fund that enables us to provide the technology those communities need to launch these micro businesses, and within six months they pay us back, and then we go to the next village. With this, we think we can reach over 100 million people, that is slightly over 16.6 million households, by the year 2030, stop deforestation, stop indoor air pollution, and change the world. I invite you to our journey. Thank you very much.

With a case of extreme obesity slowly killing a man, Dr. Phil has called in Naples bariatric physician Caroline J. Cederquist, M.D., with hopes that her expertise and her medical delivery diet can offer critical help to the situation.
On the show, set to air on January 29, Dr. Phil employs his popular team approach, and he'll have input from his usual posse of medical experts for Kevin, who at age 44 has reached the stunning weight of 715 pounds. But faced with a weight problem that extreme, not just any doctor has the depth of experience to offer meaningful help.
So, Dr. Phil called in Dr. Cederquist, a board-certified family and bariatric physician who has at the core of her treatment a focus not on extreme diets or radical regimens, but on addressing the metabolic irregularities that develop in overweight people, from mild insulin resistance to full-blown Type II diabetes. These irregularities actually make it progressively easier for an overweight person to produce and retain fat, and harder and harder to for them to lose it, typically leading to a cycle of increasing gain, even if the person doesn't increase their caloric intake.
"Kevin is disabled and virtually homebound," says Dr. Cederquist. "He has gained 300 pounds in the past five years. He suffers from diabetes and severe sleep and breathing difficulties. Problems with his joints and his sheer mass make it almost impossible for him to move around, and as a result, he scarcely leaves his bed, let alone his house. Getting him from home to the Dr. Phil studios was a major undertaking."
Dr. Cederquist said Kevin had been rejected for weight-loss surgeries because the medical conditions related to his obesity make him too high-risk as a candidate for surgery. He has sunk into a depression over his worsening situation, and resorts to eating for comfort, further worsening his conditions and his despair.
"When I met with Kevin, I felt his anguish," Dr. Cederquist says, "but it was not unfamiliar to me."
Dr. Cederquist says such despair is common, even among those with much less severe weight problems.
"These are often people who have been successful at everything else in their lives, and they cannot understand why their efforts to lose even 20 pounds are so futile," she says. "But for them, it's just not as simple as eat less, burn more. Losing weight is not just about eating less of the wrong things; it is about eating more of the right things."
Dr. Cederquist analyzed Kevin's intake logs and determined he was eating more than 4000 calories a day, mostly in low-quality junk food. Kevin had long since become diabetic and is currently injecting 600 mg. of insulin a day to control his blood sugar.
"That's a massive amount of insulin. That means his metabolic abnormality, coupled with his poor-quality diet, has led to a situation where his body cells are starving," Dr. Cederquist says. "A starving organism will resist weight loss even if it is carrying 500 pounds of excess body fat, which is what is happening in Kevin's case."

Excellent picture quality, well thought-out features and distinctive design make the Vizio M-Series seem like a much more expensive TV than it really is.
The iPad Air 2 is a nice refinement and finesse of last year's model, with a bevy of tweaks, enhancements, a much faster processor, and the welcome addition of Touch ID. Simply put: it's still the gold standard for tablets.
If you're looking for an all-around solid Chrome OS experience -- with one of the best screens we've seen on a Chromebook -- the Toshiba Chromebook 2 should be your starting point.
Despite great contrast and a market-busting price, the Vizio P series has too many picture quality flaws to claim the Holy Grail of 4K TV value.
While it's a bit overpriced, the Beats Powerbeats 2 Wireless is among the best wireless sports earphones.
Whether you listen to death metal or nature documentaries, the Bowers and Wilkins B&W 685 S2s are an astoundingly good set of speakers and an excellent deal at this price level.
These Solo 2 may not win audiophile hearts and ears, but for its intended audience -- namely, folks who are looking for a fast, exciting headphone with lots of high-quality bass -- this is an excellent on-ear headphone.
It's the latest from Google and Apple going head-to-head in a big screen tablet battle. Who will be crowned King of the Prizefight Ring?
If you can't quite afford the Yoga 2 Pro but still want a full-time laptop and a part-time tablet, the 13-inch Lenovo Yoga 2 is an excellent choice.
The Gear 2 Neo offers the best balance of features and price among Samsung's three 2014 smartwatches, but it falls short of must-have status.
