Re: He's quite right
Cycling is the same- components wear out, and are cheaper online... but the bike shop will give you advice, lend you a tool, let you rummage through the bucket of old bits, meet other people, build you a wheel to spec... and the part is available that day. Well worth paying a few quid extra.

I came away from both Maplins and PC World yesterday, convinced that they deserve to fail. Maplin only sell the Raspberry Pi as part of a £75 package (with mouse, keyboard, power supply, cables and SD card... hardly £50 worth)... without fail, everything in there is overpriced by about 100%. PC World have an entire aisle filled with mice, but half of them are damned near identical, the rest have a touch pad instead of a scroll wheel; and the only decent Logitech rodents (with extra buttons and 'hyperscrolling') were the expensive ones that work on glass- a feature I don't need. Sod 'em.
Sony promises PC-based PlayStation 4 for Christmas
Re: Pics of peripherals
Going by Sony's past PS design efforts, I'm not too worried that the PS4 will be a carbuncle in the living room.
Curiously, the original Playstation was in part a homage to Frog Design's work on the Apple Macintosh, according to the head of the Sony Design Centre. Other geeky design details included using a more lavender shade of beige, so that UV ageing wouldn't be too yellow, and using a more expensive three-part injection mould for the case, with its cooling vents.
Proof of the pudding
There is zero need to try to extrapolate its performance from its specs if you can just watch a video of what it can output. The demonstrations looked very impressive.
Judge for yourself.
Re: Well hello there...
That point was addressed directly in the presentation, a soundbite along the lines of: "designed by developers for developers"
Re: Sony have dropped the ball
The last two generations of Playstation haven't been an embarrassment to the living room in terms of their looks, so I don't need to see a mock-up of the hardware to be reassured.
The EyePad makes sense now
One bit of new during the announcement made sense of that Move-enabled tablet the Reg featured a few days back: 'Digital Clay'. During the PS4 presentation, the its 'Move' controller was used to 'sculpt' 3D models. Combined with Sony's 'EyePad' ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/19/sony_patents_eyepad/ ) there is the makings of a capable content creation system. The obvious applications are for creating levels and avatars, but there are applications beyond gaming. For certain scales of models (human-sized, creatures, vehicles), using a TV with a 3D cursor and tablet could be very usable indeed.
The general consensus about the PS4's graphical prowess is that the games almost look like films, except that characters still move like video games (an issue with the game engines used, I assume)... The rendering of human heads looks very impressive, as did a Havok physics scene with a million objects.
And it turns out that Bungie's next game, 'Destiny', is everything I hoped it would be - a blend of Elite, Halo, Planetside, Cowboy Bebop, Iain M. Banks, Borderlands and Star Wars Galaxies. Being produced for current and next gen consoles, with intention of a PC version.

Re: Computer insecurity ...
>If the US security services hadn't enthused the 'computer' makers to dilute security on the desktop, then you wouldn't be facing the current security debacle ...
When I as school in the nineties, we were shown videos about Phil Zimmerman and his PGP... all the arguments were in terms of private individuals and the US Government not liking encryption. I guess that at the time, far less data was kept online, the Cold War was over, music was good, and obviously nobody was worrying about the threat of foreign states stealing sensitive data.
Bill Gates: Windows Phone strategy was 'a mistake'

Re: A great mind at work..... NOT!
>However, the Windows 7 strategy had the additional disadvantage that it's UI was rejected by the market in the first place.
Come again?
Fall guy OS
That was my take on it. MS probably figured a good number of people and business have only settled into Windows 7 in the last couple of years, and so were never going to be in the market for windows 8. Therefore, they chose to be a little bit experimental, and then sell Windows 9 as "Hey, it's not Windows 8".
Most of the annoyances with Windows 8 are in the UI and are easily fixed with a bit of 3rd party software - one to skip past 'Metro' to the desktop, another to restore the start menu, plus some other details. Hardly a massive extra effort, given that most of us install software and tweak settings on a fresh Windows install anyway.

Re: Netbook market
>Remember netbooks, MS killed that market
Eh? Okay... are you sure it wasn't the originally low specs and shoddy Linux distro on the first EEE PCs that put people off? The netbook was small and cheap, suitable for quickly checking emails and browsing the web if you could find a Wi-fi hotspot. Since then, smartphones can do the same but in more places, due to a 3G data connection, and tablets can do the same but do it better- because the screens can be rotated through 90º and often boast better resolutions. I used a netbook for as a data logger for a temperature probe, but guess what OS the supplied drivers and software were for? Oh yeah, that's right...
True, MS would rather sell you a more expensive version (as would Intel and their chips), but first they get flack for selling XP at low cost to netbook OEMs, then they get flack for not offering a cheap 'Starter Edition' of Win 8....
> I just wish this hardware came with Linux
Why? Just download it and install it yourself- if it did come with Linux, the chances are it wouldn't be the flavour you want anyway. Google commissioned and marketed these machines for their own reasons- there is nothing to stop penguins doing the same for their reasons, through Kickstarter perhaps. If you believe the demand is there, why don't you do it?
Re: To sum up the benefits: They are cheap
>Samsung must have been working really hard to build a ARM based unit that has less duration then their Atom-powered ATIV500
The power consumption advantages of ARM over x86 are most evident when the system is sat doing nothing - so is suitable for smartphones. When the CPU actually has a job to, Intel's new Atoms have some tricks up their sleeve- not least a more advanced fab process and a more efficient memory controller. Note that the test in this article was looping a 720p video. The battery benchmarks for using it as a word processor (i.e write something, stare into space for ten minutes, write a few more lines, get bored, check emails, wander off for a coffee) might give different results.
Actually having the same system on both ARM and x86 allows power consumption per task comparisons, something that has been done before between Win RT machines on ARM and x86
Re: Why not a tablet?
>If the chrome books are only good for web browsing and light media consumption then I don't see the point of them compared to a tablet. The Nexus 7 and 10 being very good tablets.
In a word- a keyboard. I didn't read anything that said they weren't good for just entering some text, be it an email or a novel. You don't always need fancy formatting and DTP tools.
Wind-up bloke Baylis winds up broke, turns to UK gov for help
Re: Does the patent system even work nowadays?
No, you don't even bother. I was involved in developing a patented product, and the services of a professional patent lawyer were engaged: We applied for patents in Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the United States, but didn't bother with Brazil, China, India, Africa or Russia, IIRC. The Chinese can choose to make it, but they can't sell it here.
Re: Sympathy for him but
Batteries aren't particularly nice things to dispose of, so methods of storing energy like clockwork or a heavy bag of sand hung from the ceiling shouldn't be discounted.
Re: broke?
>It's easy to forget that through history, not all inventions make millions for the inventor
Like Charles Goodyear who invented the process of rubber vulcanisation, esssential for pneumatic tyres, before the motror car was developed.
Goodyear once wrote: "I am not disposed to complain that I have planted and others have gathered the fruits. A man has cause for regret only when he sows and no one reaps."
iPad? Pah. Behold the EYEPAD, patented by Sony for the 'PS4'
Re: I only hope...
It won't replace the Dualshock- is a venerable design indeed. I had a book, 'Digital Dreams: The Work of the Sony Design Studio' that showed dozens of foam mock-ups of conceptual PS controllers, of which the Dualshock is a variation. The design that they eventually used was very similar to one of the first they created.
Since the Bluetooth Dualshock can be persuaded to work with Android or Windows with software (ironically, the XBOX wireless controller requires a proprietry dongle for PCs) Sony should aim it (or a more compact design, as SteelSeries have) at the mobile gaming crowd rather than promote its Playstation-branded phones.
Re: It's passing off, obviously, but
Remember, a patent application is no sure indication of future products. Developing products requires some experimentation, implying you create some concepts that probably won't work out- but still, there is no harm in applying for a patent on these 'also ran' concepts. The cost of making the application is small enough that it is worth hedging your bets,
For sure, I haven't been persuaded to get a Move, and am far from convinced how well integrating it into this tablet will work. I was just observing that whilst a tablet might not be great as a games controller (Tekken: No. Real Time Strategy games: Maybe), it makes a reasonable companion to a TV-connected media player.
Thank you for sharing that. However, lots of people use their PS3 for watching streamed video, and using the joypad to enter text into searches isn't great. A virtual keyboard on a tablet would be okay.
Dell's Ubuntu dev laptop gets much-needed display boost
Yeah, because removing Win8 annoyances takes suuuch a long time. Actually, it takes less than ten minutes to install a few bits of software and tweak some settings. 'Classic Shell' is even available through Ninite, so only takes one click if you are already in the process of installing your favourite browsers, utilities and codecs.
The first thing many of us do after installing any version of Windows is to change settings to our liking and install our favourite bits of software. Linux is no different, except of course you can have your own customised distro ISO ready to go.
Re: Dell and Linux
If you want a cheap laptop without paying MS for a Windows licence, consider sticking Linux on a Chromebook. The Reg have a couple under consideration today, at around the £200 mark.
Re: Dell and Linux
>They should be selling Linux Mint on desktops,
Since Ubuntu allows the buyer to download any other distro they want onto a bootable stick, what does it matter which flavour is pre-installed on it? No big deal.
>The way to succeed is to do what the Netbook guys did, sell cheap systems with Linux on them. This is possible because Linux can be set up to run fast on modest hardware.
2006 rang, they want their argument for using Linux back. The game has changed- now £25 quid buys you a system that can output full HD video and run a modest Linux desktop (Raspberry Pi), £80 buys you a second-hand P4 Thinkpad. RAM is cheap, SSDs are affordable. No manufacturer is now going to build a laptop with a decent screen, and then fit it with so little RAM and CPU grunt that it can't run any OS the user throws at it.
Russian boffins race to meteorite crash lake as shard prices go sky-high
Re: Berlin Wall
Ever since the most recent Royal Institute Christmas Lectures ( a TV show aimed at children, but hey, I still learn things) I've desired an acid-etched slice of an iron nickel meteorite called an octahedrite. They showed a large specimen. The etching brings out Widmanstätten patterns, which are beautiful and can't be faked- for them to occur, the rate of cooling through a certain temperature range is no more than 10ºC per million years.
Small samples are around £30 per gram.

Apple design bloke Ive finally honoured properly - with Blue Peter badge
When I was watched Blue Peter, every rocket I drew had the Stars and Stripes and a NASA logo on it, not a Union Jack... just as every car I drew had all manner of unlikely gadgets poking of it, like James Bond's. Vans looked like the one from the A-Team, and most cars had the Confederate flag on top of it like the Dukes of Hazard. The coolest electronic goods were ghetto blasters, especially if they had a massive graphic equaliser on the front- and were all designed in Asia, the best ones Japanese. Monster trucks were ace, as were Ferraris.
Just because we grew up with cool things from other countries doesn't stop us being supportive of British companies when we grow up.
The important thing is that Blue Peter is telling pre-teen children that there is such a thing a product designer, and they might choose to be one when they grow up. I don't know why you would want to sully their innocence with talk of corporate shenanigins, or choice of gadget OS.
Re: Really bugs me
>Apple did NOT invent...
And Henry Ford didn't invent the internal combustion engine- so what?
>Perhaps rather than giving a badge to a guy who ran off from his own country and setup abroad
British companies could have employed Ive, but their management didn't see the benefits of doing so. Maybe Ive's example will serve as further encouragement to do so.
>But oh no, the BBC has joined in with successions of British politicians and other 'stars' to rubbish absolutely everything that British people ever do while praising and worshiping anything foreign.
Really? I though they were celebrating a son of England, and saying to Britain PLC "C'mon, we have the talent, lets use it'. You seem to have forgotten that Blue Peter is a children's show, famous for encouraging children to make functional objects with modern materials- why shouldn't some kids be able say "I want to be a product designer when I grow up"? Interviewing coders and engineers from the nineties is not going to hold the interest of the Blue Peter audience.
Psion were great, a proper integration of superb hardware and and useful software, the Psion Netbook well ahead of its time, and Psion might have made the first decent HDD MP3 player... but it didn't work out that way.

Ubuntu? Fedora? Mint? Debian? We'll find you the right Linux to swallow
Re: I'll jump to Linux when...
Steam might set a precedent for commercial software on Linux. It will be interesting to see what happens, and if productivity applications follow in the wake of games. The attitude that 'we don't need commercial software, you must be a snob if you do' is not helpful to the adoption of Linux. Professionals and business will happily spend a few hundred pounds per user if it saves them time over a free alternative.
The other possibility is that more commercial software gets used 'as a service' or 'in the cloud' (useful for software that benefits from team collaboration and rented compute resources, such as engineering design and simulation) and the user's OS becomes irrelevant.
Re: Right.
About five years ago the main argument the Linux fold were putting out was that it was a good way revitalising older laptops... alas, some of them could be quite esoteric machines.
Rather than just asserting that it works out of the box with most hardware (it might nine times out of ten, but Sod's Law is what it is) , a more useful approach would be to promote a list of distros for specific machines. Just a website that's asks you what machine you are using and then gives you a choice of suitable distros that have been tested by other people in the community.
CAD vendors do it the other way round, and publish a list of specific machines that have been tested with their products.

Re: I for one welcome our new KDE overlords
I wouldn't say that Unity is useless, but just that it isn't the best for mouse and keyboard machines. In the future there may well prove to be a place for a GUI that works for both mouse+keyboard and touch, if it can be made to work. Arguably, it hasn't yet:
MS have tried using a mouse+keyboard GUI for touch devices (albeit older single-point touch devices where to stylus is akin to a mouse cursor) and more recently for multi-touch PCs tried the approach of bolting two GUIs together. Others have tried the other direction- using tablet versions of Android with mouse and keyboard. Apple haven't really tried combining the two- maybe because they would rather you own a Macbook and an iPad. XP Tablet Edition wasn't a complete flop- it was adopted by people with specific needs- car mechanics for example use 'ruggedised' laptops, and 3rd party engine diagnostic software is designed to be used with people poking at the screen or a mouse.
The trouble is, the mouse gives you a single, accurate point with modifiers (either different buttons or a keyboard key), multi-touch gives you less accuracy but different modifiers (number of contact points and 'gestures'). These differences extend beyond the GUI of the OS and into the applications used with it. Reconciling these differences in a coherent, efficient and easy to learn way is no small task.
Using a direction pad ('D-pad', game controller, IR remote control) is a another input method, one that is given in its own GUI in most OSs (Windows Media Centre, OSX Front Row, XBMC), so the 'multiple GUI' approach seems sensible to people in some situations.
Re: Test 'em first in VMs if you can.
Plus, if you try a VM you can have it on one side of of your screen, and use a web browser with a guide (or forum thread if you encounter issues) to hold your hand through the process.
To the novice, the concept of a Virtual Machine (a computer inside a computer) might seem strange, but the practice is very straightforward and unintimidating.
Re: guide for
Yeah, those were the little barriers when i first tried Linux- I didn't know what I didn't know. Lots of little things that were new to me and made sense individually- SUDO, shell, mounting disks, package managers, strange names- were a bit much to swallow all at once. Fortunately, my friend and I were just installing it (Mint) for fun, to see what all the fuss was about- this was about five years ago when people recommended Linux as being a good way to get more life out of older machines- in this case an old donated Thinkpad with audio hardware that the Linux forums had warned us was tricky. We got it all working in the end, and got a sense of satisfaction out of it- though in the end he hacked a boot loader onto a PS2 and used that as media player instead.
Re: "Comfortable with the terminal"
>For the last griefing time - You do NOT need to use a command line to install or use most modern Linux distros.
Yes, but you might, just as you might in Windows or OSX. Just the other day, I thought I would try the approach that is often recommended to novices- installing Ubuntu on a VM Ware virtual machine. I clicked 'Easy Install', and the virtual machine got stuck in a loop (VM Ware's fault- it was trying to install helper tools, but Ubuntu 12.04 was too new for it.) It took three lines of command line text to fix the Linux installation
-What makes a virtual machine suitable for novices is that they still have access to help on the internet during the installation process if they don't have a second real machine to hand. What took the time is that first few pages I consulted said "It's buggered, reinstall it" before I found one that told me how to fix it).
I usually have a Linux installation on a second partition and GRUB, 'just in case'. There are tools available for it that aren't easily found for Windows, and I thought it would make a better platform for on-line banking (if only because its exposure to nasties would be lower because I wouldn't use it as much). It is also reassuring to have an OS outside of your primary OS, for images and recovery, diagnostics and virus scans etc- though modern hardware can boot off a USB stick so partitioning the HDD isn't essential. Ironically enough, my practice of dual-booting stems from when one MS OS wasn't enough (at uni I needed both NT.40 and Win 98)

I'd like to add to the wish-list of desirable features in this dream plug and socket combo: some method of inherent waterproofing so that little rubber thingies over the ports aren't required. More devices are being designed to be waterproof.

Micro USB.... and the little buggers have sharp corners, so if I've cack-handed I scratch whatever I'm plugging it into. As it happens, this has scratched the black coating off from around the socket on my phone, making it marginally easier to spot in the dark.
Why can't an industry standards body develop a plug that it happily goes in both ways, has rounded corners and is mechanically strong enough to support a device in a dock? It isn't difficult to see that these are desirable qualities, yet it is only some company known for proprietary kit manages to grok this.
And yeah, whoever made the exterior of USB A plug symmetrical, but not the insides was daft. At least the old PS/2 plugs could be located by touch, and then rotated until the plug went in.

Re: I want dumb TVs
The only downside to dumb screen + external box(es) is that my father can't grasp the procedure to turn on the tv from the PVR remote control. I guess a universal remote with macros would resolve this issue.
Most people I know don't have rooms so minimal that they get upset by an extra box or two- indeed some boxes hide behind the screen on the Vesa mount- so integrating features to the screen itself makes more sense for second TVs in kitchens and bedrooms.

Bothell biotech Cocrystal goes public via merger
Cocrystal Discovery of Bothell is the latest biotechnology company to go public, but don't look for it on the Nasdaq or NYSE just yet.
Seattle Times deputy business editor
Cocrystal Discovery of Bothell is the latest biotechnology company to go public, but don't look for it on the Nasdaq or NYSE just yet.
Although its financial backers and management have solid industry credentials, the early-stage biotech went public by merging with a shell company called Biozone Pharmaceuticals that trades over the counter.
Biozone, which absorbed Cocrystal on Jan. 2, intends to change its name and stock ticker "in the coming months," the company said in a statement Thursday.
Currently trading as BZNE, the stock closed Thursday at 62 cents a share, giving the company a market capitalization of $55 million after accounting for recently issued shares.
Cocrystal was founded in 2008 by former Icos executive Gary Wilcox, and in recent years has been backed by the likes of Teva Pharmaceuticals and Phillip Frost, Teva's chairman and also the chairman of Opko Health.
Opko, a pharmaceutical and diagnostics company based in Miami, was Biozone's largest shareholder before the Cocrystal deal, and Frost also owns a large stake. Biozone said Thursday it raised $2.75 million from accredited investors including Opko.
Cocrystal aims to develop "oral, once-a-day, broad spectrum drug candidates" against hepatitis C and several other viral diseases.
In addition to Wilcox, credited with leading the Icos team that developed the erectile-dysfunction drug Cialis, it boasts as chief scientist Roger Kornberg, a Stanford University medical-school professor who was awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize in chemistry.
Wilcox is now the public company's chairman and CEO.
There are times when the conventional approach to going public — an initial public offering — has been closed to biotechs because of marketwide or industry-specific concerns.
But the final quarter of 2013 saw six young biotechs go public, raising a collective $487 million, according to the National Venture Capital Association.
By contrast, two attempts by local biotechs to gain a Nasdaq stock listing via merger have failed in recent years.
Last month, Seattle-based Theraclone's planned merger with PharmAthene, a Maryland biotech, was called off the day before a vote to seal the deal, after federal funding for a Theraclone clinical trial fell through.
Allozyne, also of Seattle, dropped plans to merge with publicly traded Poniard Pharmaceuticals of San Francisco when the companies concluded their combination would not qualify for a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which was one condition of the deal.

Comfy in KenmarePosted Apr 14, 2012
Pros: Spacious modern accommodation
Cons: Dodgy Wifi
Location: Perfect - quiet but only few minutes' walk into town
We stayed in a 3 bed house which was clean, comfortable and contemporary with all mod cons. Very spacious for our family (2 adults plus kids aged 11 and 14). We cooked several times during our stay and found that the kitchen to be excellently equipped. Initially our TV didn't work but this was rectified swiftly by the nice maintenance man! Only a 5 min walk into the centre of Kenmare via a pathway which runs parallel to the hotel and main road. We used the pool but were not aware that swim hats were compulsory which cost us 2euro each! We found the best Guinness at Foley's and nice Italian food at Prego. Were not impressed with the tourist aimed food at most pubs. Free Wifi available in the hotel foyer was hit&miss.

text: YET WE SURVIVE The Kalinago People of Dominica: Our Lives in Words and Pictures Teachers' notes These notes have been compiled to assist teachers to use the book Yet We Survive with pupils at Key Stage 2 in England and Wales; and Primary and S1 in Scotland, but also with possibilities for other ages and abilities. The material relates to subject areas Language Social subjects – in particular issues of cultural identity, encounters, journeys, slavery, colonialism History Geography Expressive arts – art, craft, home economics, drama, music ICT – for research and presentation Global citizenship – understanding of other places and peoples, and issues which affect us at both a local and a global level Enterprise – taking responsibility for real situations, with each pupil having a role to play There is enough material in the book to stimulate lessons for a term or more, according to the class topics under study, and their depth or complexity. The ideas here are not presented as a complete set of pupil worksheets, but more as a set of preliminary ideas and approaches which may suit a particular class. They can be dipped into, adapted and selected according to need or circumstances. There are two basic approaches to the use of this material in class: It is possible to relate the material to the lives of the pupils themselves, to prepare similar material with the pupils in order that they may describe their own lives in a way similar to that presented in the book They may consider the similarities and differences between their lives and those of the Kalinago people as seen in the book The book is a documentation of the lives of the Kalinago people in Dominica, an island in the Caribbean, by the local people themselves, As such it is a record of life as experienced by those living it. It should be possible to compare this record with the pupils" own lives and life experiences. An essential starting point is to choose something about the content of the book that would relate directly to the lives of the young people. The Disney film Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man"s Chest was filmed during 2005, partly in Dominica. The film portrays the residents of a fictitious island as cannibals. The people acting the parts of the cannibals in the film are some of the local Kalinago people. This caused great debate. Some context information: When Christopher Columbus arrived in the Caribbean in 1492, the islands were inhabited by the indigenous peoples of the region who had originally come from South and Central America. The encounter with the Europeans devastated their existence and, in most parts of the region, they were wiped out. In Dominica, however, they survived mainly because of the hostile environment, which was unattractive to exploitation by European settlers. The Kalinago people were originally given the name "Carib" by the European. The word "cannibal" comes from Columbus" first description of some of the inhabitants of the area. Since then, the Carib/Kalinago people have been historically labelled as cannibals, although there is no real evidence to support this view. The sensitivity continues. When the Kalinago/Carib chief of Dominica heard of the representations planned for Pirates of the Caribbean, he felt that they would perpetuate this myth. "Our ancestors stood up against early European conquerors and because they stood up ... we were labelled savages and cannibals up to today," he said. "This cannot be perpetuated in movies." Some reactions amongst the wider Kalinago community can be heard on www.uprisingradio.org/home/?p=587 On this website is a response by the Kalinago people to their portrayal in this film as cannibals. They organised a letter-writing campaign to Disney Corporation asking for an apology for this portrayal, which they see as an insult to their people. It is worth noting that locally in Dominica opinion was divided. Those who did participate reported that they enjoyed the experience of being in an essentially fictional film. Class work. By working through the book and participating in some of the ideas, pupils can reach the real people who are the subject of such controversy. Many young people will find the connection with the "cannibals" in the film an interesting and relevant starting point for their study INTRODUCTORY SECTION (pp 2 – 5) The slogan "Yet We Survive" is taken from some graffiti at the Carib Council office on the Carib Territory of Dominica. This is the area of the island where the Kalinago/Carib people now live. Why is the word "SURVIVE" used? What does it mean? Do a class brainstorm on the meaning of the word and write down all the things that are associated with it in the minds of the pupils. Some ideas mIght include: Survive To keep on going To live To exist In the face of difficulties Strong Food and other necessary things for life A long time Everything going against you but you keep on Despite everything else To overcome difficulties Survival of the fittest Evolution Make a list or "mind map" of all the ideas and then see if they fit into categories of ideas – eg those connected with "difficulties", "strength", "existing over a period of time". Translate individual ideas into a more complex group mind map in the style of Buznan (www.mindmapping.co.uk/group-mind-mapping.htm) Can all the dimensions of the mind-map be somehow connected with the Kalinago people and their history? This exercise should be done at the end of the study. (See last section of these notes.) Make a group drama about the encounter between Columbus and his European sailors and the indigenous people Discuss the thoughts that might be going through the heads of each group Make a poem about meeting people you have never met before – how do you form your opinions of them? The book is also about IDENTITY What is the meaning of the word identity? Discuss with the class. Some people might think of identity cards – some may think of an identikit picture. You could do a similar mind-map as above. The important thing to get over is that the book is about WHO YOU ARE – what makes you unique – what makes you YOU – and what makes you different from others – or what links you to others who are similar. The same can be said for the people of a country or a nation – a group of people who live and work together – and who identify with the group as a whole. Discuss the identity of the individuals in the class – photographs and descriptive/factual writing. Make individual posters. Do the same with the class as a group – what links and bonds are there? How can they be strengthened – are they important? LAND (p6) This page contains four photographs of typical landscapes of the Carib Territory: earth, forest, salt water and fresh water. With a partner, sit back to back – one person has the picture and describes it to the other who cannot see it. Try to find words which really describe the land and the water to someone who has never seen this landscape before – what colours is it? What textures does it contain? Compare the end results with the actual photographs What sounds would you hear if you were standing in the middle of each picture? What might you be able to smell? Life at Sea and on Land (p7) Some young Kalinago people made these wall hangings to give their impressions of "Life at Sea" and "Life on the Land". The originals are about three metres long and two metres high and are made of cloth with paintings on them. How many different activities can you make out in each picture? If you were making a class wall picture to tell other people about "Life on the Sea" and "Life on the Land" in the Carib Territory, what would you include in each picture? Communal Land Ownership (p8) Native American people believe that we cannot own land at all – instead it is the land which owns us – "the land does not belong to us but we belong to the land". In fact, the land in the Carib Territory of Dominica is owned communally. What do you think of this idea? However, land is worked in order to produce food, raise livestock and also we build our homes on it. The land has to be managed in order that these things can happen. Find out who owns the land in your neighbourhood. Work out what you think of this system. Act out a role play where one person owns all the land and all the others have to pay to use it or to live on it. How does this feel? You could have a class debate over some of the issues here around private and public ownership, public and private management, and make a poster to list the points which have been raised. Are you fully satisfied with your local area? Discuss in your class how you would change things when you become adults – how will you deal with any issues and problems there are? Are you all in agreement as a class or are there divided opinions? Again make a poster to tell other classes what you have found out – or you could invite some adults into your classroom to tell you what they think of your ideas. Consider the changes that have taken place in your local area over the last 50/100/500 years. Ask adults about the changes in living memory. Find out who owns and manages the local wild places. PEOPLE (p10) People in the Carib Territory have a mixture of physical features: Amerindian, African and European. As throughout the Caribbean, the features of the population are a result of a complex history of colonisation and slavery. Unlike the African peoples who were brought to Dominica as slaves, the Kalinago people were never enslaved. They were, however, forced to retreat to the north- east corner of the island where they continued to experience cultural genocide. There are often enormous problems when people of different races try to live together in the same place. Why do you think this might be? What could we try to do to solve these problems? Look at the different faces of the people in your class. Choose a partner and draw each other"s face or photograph it as a portrait. Pin them all up on the wall so that you have an art gallery of faces. Does everyone look the same? What kind of differences are there? Would it be good to all look the same? Write a factual description of your partner"s face. Note colour of skin, eyes, shape of nose, shape of eyes, texture and colour of hair All the pictures in the book are of Kalinago people. Do all Kalinago people look the same? Do you know why? Kalinago people say that it is a sense of belonging that unites them. How important is it to feel that you belong? What kind of assumptions do we make about what people look like if we can only hear their voices? (Think of Trevor McDonald or Billy Connolly) What is considered to be beautiful or handsome in a person for different races of people? Do some research on the internet to find as many different types of face as you can! How many Kalinago people are there still? How does this number compare with how many people there are in your town/part of the country? Make a graph to show this. Do Kalinago people mostly live in cities, towns or villages? How does this compare with your area? Homes (pp11-13) Make another class art gallery by getting everyone to draw a picture of their home. Write a few sentences about it to contain the following information: o How big is your home? o Where is it? o What is it made of? o What colour(s) is it? o When was it built? o Do you know who built it? Would you say your home was built in a traditional style or a modern style? What do these words mean? What are the advantages or disadvantages of traditional and modern styles of building? Compare your home with the homes in the Carib Territory. What similarities or differences can you see? If you could build your own home, how would you build it? What would it be made of – and what would it contain? What colours would it be? Imagine you are far into the future – do you think there will be other styles of homes in the future? Will there be new materials? New styles? New designs? New colours even? Make a class display of ideas and show it to other classes, and ask them for ideas too. Inside and Outside the Home (pp 12-13) Much of Kalinago life goes on outside the home as it is too hot to spend time indoors. Make a list of all the things you do inside the home and compare this with all the things you do outside your home. Is it the same for everyone in the class? Can you see what differences there are in these activities with the Kalinago people? Is it necessary to fill the house with lots of things? In some countries houses are very cluttered up with things because it is too cold to spend much time outside. What do you think are the advantages or disadvantages of living in a cold or hot country? Does everyone in your class agree? What is it absolutely essential to have in a home? Does everyone agree? What kinds of things are not essential or functional but are "decorative" or "recreational"? Find out what these words mean and have a class discussion to see if everyone agrees. Is it possible to design the ideal home? Have an Ideal Home Exhibition and invite parents and members of the local community. Advertise it by making posters and giving out tickets. Gardens (p16) Does your family have a garden? Does the school have a garden? What crops or plants are grown in it? Can you name them all and tell what they are used for? Are they used for cooking? For medicine? For crafts? For other purposes? Compare the plants grown here with those grown in the gardens of the Kalinago people Make a graph in the class of all the types of trees and plants and the frequency with which they occur in your gardens. Which is the most frequently found tree or plant? Which is the rarest? Make a class wall chart of all the different plants. Draw them, name them and write what they are used for Do you know what is meant by a "native" plant? How many of the plants in your gardens are native? How many are imported? Can you find out where they came from? How many of the plants are used for cooking in your school or home? Are any sold to others? Are any taken to a market? Visit a local allotment or market and take note of the crops and vegetables grown or on sale. OCCUPATIONS Shops (p17) What kind of shops are there on the Carib Territory? What kind of things do they sell? Compare this with the local shops in your area. Is it necessary to have shops? Why? Or why not? The Kalinago baker has set up a new business selling locally produced bread. Can you find out how bread is made? What are the ingredients? Do any pupils in the class make their own bread at home? What kind of bread do you make/eat ? How many different kinds of bread can you find out about? Find a good recipe for bread and try making it in class. Draw your loaf and then make up the best sandwich you can think of. Where will the ingredients of the sandwich come from? How many will be grown locally? How many will be imported? Make a poster to describe your best sandwich – give it a name, list its ingredients and tell where they came from. Is it in international sandwich? Have a class sandwich competition. Crafts (p18) Crafts are very important on the Carib Territory. Why is this? Can you make a list of the most common crafts to be found in the craft shops? Are these all traditional crafts? What is meant by a traditional craft? Do you know someone who makes crafts? Maybe you could invite them to come to talk to your class. Maybe they could give a demonstration of how to make what they make. Maybe you could learn a little about how to do this. Ask them what materials they are using and where they get the materials from? Do they have to buy any in the shops? How much do the materials cost? How long does it take to make the craft object? How many can you make in a day? A week? A month? Where are they sold? At a local market? In other parts of the country? Can you find out what is meant by the term "marketing"? If you were going to make a craft object, how would you set about telling people how to get it and encourage them to buy it? What qualities of your craft object would you tell them about? Could you design a poster to try to sell your item? Maybe you could have a class competition to see who could make people buy most. Could you do an imaginary business plan to set out the expenditure and possible income from the item you want to sell? You must make sure that you do not make a loss on your item. Do you think this is a hard thing to do? Would you do this by yourself, or would you set up a team of people to work together on a craft project? What would be the advantages or disadvantages of working by yourself or in a team? Fishing (p21) Would you like to be a fisherman? Or a fisherwoman? Why? Why not? Do you think this life would be a good one? A challenging one? A satisfying one? What would your typical day consist of? Make up a play about life on the open sea the day there is a terrible storm. Do you know anybody in your family or a neighbour who is a fisherman? Are there many/any local fishermen or women? Why do you think this is? What kinds of fish are caught in local waters? Can you find out about the main types of fish caught locally and draw a wall chart to show the main types? What kind of ways are there to cook fish? Which is your favourite? Can you explain to someone else how to cook fish in your favourite way? Make up a new recipe for cooking fish – give it a name – imagine you are a "celebrity chef" and you are cooking this for a TV programme. Film your programme and present it to the class. Boats (pp22-23) Follow the pictures of the making of a local boat and tell the story of the process in your own words? Tell the story of making your new boat, draw it or make it and give it a name. Have a ceremony to launch the new boat and act it out. Make up a group play about boat building. Give everyone in the play a job to do as part of the whole process. Copra (p24) Why was copra production introduced into the Carib Territory? What products are made from copra? The palm tree is a stereotypical image of the Caribbean. Design a poster to tell about all the uses of the coconut palm. Find out about the local trees in your area and what they are used for. Make up posters for them too. Bananas (p25) Use this page and pp 26 and 27 to follow the day in the life of a banana farmer. Is this a difficult life? What problems is the banana industry facing at present? Use your imagination and pretend to be a banana! Write the story of your life from the day you begin as a flower on a banana tree – what do you see? How do you feel as you are growing? How does it fell to be sprayed everyday and covered in a blue plastic bag? How does it feel when you are finally cut from the tree and put into a big box? What is your journey to the market place? Are you exported? Are you sold in Dominica? Where do you end up? What do you imagine happens to the bananas which are exported? Where do they end up? In which country? Do you end up as a banana, or do you go into making something else? Banana yoghurt? Banana cake? Banana custard? Who eats you?! Do they like the taste? And what do they do with your skin? How much food value do you contain? Make up a banana rap and film your performance. ASPECTS OF LIFE Recreation (p19) It is very important to have recreation time. Why do you think this is? What are the main things people do for recreation on the Carib Territory? Maybe you could ask your friends and relatives and people in the class and do a survey to find out the most popular forms of recreation for the people you know in your own area. Is there a difference between the adults and the children"s recreation? Is there a difference between what men and women or boys and girls do for recreation? Can you present this information as a graph? Many young people in the Caribbean make their own toys. Do you ever make your own toys? Can you find out how to make a toy? Use the internet to do some research. Eg www.indigoarts.com/store1_recycle.html Water (p20) Why is water so very important? What is meant by the term "the Water Cycle"? How much rain falls every year in your area? What happens to the water when it falls on the land? Where are the main rivers in your area? Which seas do they flow into? How does the water get up into the sky to fall as rain? Why do we need water in our homes? What are the various ways we can get water into our homes? What is water used for in the home? Is it a difficult task to get water into the homes? How does your home"s water supply differ from that in a home in the Carib Territory? Imagine that water is cut off from your home for a week but there is a well down the road a mile away which is still working. Act out a play telling how you would have to adapt your life to this change. Make up a water poem or rap telling how important water is. Speak your poem and record it. Make a class CD of the poems and illustrate a cover for the CD. Sell it for school funds or give the profits to a charity helping to provide water in dry countries. Women in the Carib Territory (p37) There is a saying: "A woman"s place is in the home" – do you agree with this statement? What does it mean? What sort of jobs do you see women doing nowadays that they would not have done 100 years ago? Have a class debate about whether or not women should go out to work if they have young children. The first aeroplane pilot from the Carib Territory is a woman – would this have been possible 50 years ago? Why do you think so? What does "finding a voice" mean? Is it a good thing that it is now possible for Kalinago women to find a voice? Do the boys in the class think the same as the girls on this question? School (pp28-29) Schools are different in different countries and at different times in history. People are always looking for new ideas as to how schools can work. Remember that schools can change according to what people need to learn. What are your ideas? Not every child in the world is lucky enough to go to school. Research on the internet and find out some facts about how many children in the world do not have this opportunity – and why they do not have this opportunity? (www.oxfam.org.uk/coolplanet) Do you like school? Does everyone in the class like school? Can you present this information as a graph? Young Carib people have to travel a long way to secondary school. How would it feel to have to go far to school? How would it feel to have to stay away during the term-time? How has school changed over the years? Ask your parents and grandparents how school has changed over the years? How would you change the school for the future? Do you think the same subjects should be taught or do you think you would like to introduce new ones? How many of you would like to try to be a teacher? Do you think it is an easy job – or very difficult? Do you think it is an important job? Why? Why not? Would any of you be willing to try to take the class for a lesson? You would have to prepare what you are going to teach and what you want the class to learn from you! Is your teacher willing to let you have a try? Do you think girls and boys should be taught the same subjects at school – or have different choices? Have a class debate on this subject. Act out a school lesson of the future – teaching subjects that children in the future will need. A Day in the Life of a Kalinago Woman (pp14-15) Is this day a typical one? For Salette it is typical – is it typical for any female adults you know? How do different days compare in different parts of the world? A Day in the Life of a Kalinago Man (pp26-27) Is this a typical day for the men you know? How do different days compare in different parts of the world? Put either the Kalinago woman or the Kalinago man in the " hotseat". Ask questions so that they can tell you where you might find them at different times of day and what he or she might be doing. Film your performances and share them with each other. A Day in the Life of a Young Kalinago Person Make up a picture story for a young Kalinago person. Take a piece of paper and divide it into sections – you can fold it or draw lines …… have at least 8 sections: Draw a picture and write a sentence about what you might do at each of the following times of day: o Early morning: o Mid morning: o Lunch time: o Afternoon: o Early evening o Late evening: o Bedtime: o Nightime: You might like to tell this story for a typical school day, or for a weekend day, or for a holiday day – or a special day like a birthday or other celebration day. See if you can put all the ideas together into a class display or even make a class book of the different types of day. Compare the day of a Kalinago person with your own day. You could make up your picture story of your own day with a still camera if you have access to one you can take home with you. Cultural identity (p30) "You have to be able to know who you are, what you are, and where you are going." This is not an easy concept to grasp. We all think we know exactly who we are and where we are going, but it is also easy to become confused and to lose the way forward in our lives. What are some of the old traditional ways of the Kalinago people? Do you think it is important to keep these traditional ways? Or is it important to move forward into the future and forget the old ways? The person who was speaking thinks that it is important to know where you have come from so that you have a sort of jumping-off point for going into the future. Do you agree? Do you think it is important to have a view of the past, the present and the future? In this way we might see where we fit into the bigger picture? "Development comes from tradition" – do you agree with this? Paulinus Frederick, a Kalinago painter, has a painting in his home that is about the Kalinago people at a crossroads: with one foot in the traditional ways and the other across the bridge into the future. Do you think this is a good way to represent this idea of past, present and future? Perhaps you could make a picture of yourself, standing tall, with one foot in your past – your roots; and the other foot in your future – where you see yourself in 10 or 20 years time. Or you could make picture together with the rest of the class and put all your ideas together. There is a very famous painting by an artist called Paul Gauguin. It is called "Ou sommes nous? D'ou venons nous? Ou allons nous?" Can you find out what this means? See if you can get a copy of this picture – you may find it on the Internet. Gauguin was trying to paint about the same question as Paulinus. What do you think of these artists" works? What about your own ideas? Try to portray ideas about your past, present and future in a song, dance or rap. Perform and share. Try to portray your ideas about the past, present and future for the Kalinago people in a song, dance or rap, try to include the encounter with the Europeans, the days of colonialism and the impact of slavery, what you have learned about their present lives, and what you might hope for them for the future. Religion (p31) Do you think it is important to have a set of beliefs about life, which can help us find the way forward and to find out who we are and why we are on this earth? What is the main religion of the Kalinago people today? Is this the same as it was in the past? Do you think this will change too in the future? Where are some of the sites which are sacred to the Kalinago people? Can you find out the stories connected with these sites? Do you think it is important to remember the sacred sites and the stories associated with them? Why? Or why not? Are there sacred sites near where you live? Are there stories connected with local places which people remember? Share some of these in your class. Rites of passage (p32) These are the ceremonies which take place at different times in peoples" lives to mark occasions like birthdays, weddings, funerals. Sometimes these are connected with a particular religion. How many of these occasions have you attended? Do you think it is important to mark these sorts of special occasions? Can you find out a little about how different families mark these occasions? Ask your friends and relatives. Do you think that people all over the world mark these occasions in the same ways? Can you find out a little about how different peoples have celebrated these occasions in different countries and at different times in history? Perhaps you could make up a drama about a birthday or wedding in another culture. Kalinago legends (p34) The story of the Kalinago Snake is retold in the book by a group of young Kalinago people. It is based on a legend connected with a local landmark. You could try to tell this story as a dance with costumes. Is there a local landmark in your area about which you could make up a legend? You could write the legend in a book? Or you might decide to tell it in song and dance instead. What sort of conversations would the characters have with each other? Community (p33) Unless you are a hermit, nobody lives in total isolation from everyone else. We all have to live alongside everybody else – and we all need different people at different times in our lives for different things. What sort of things do we need other people for? Can you make a list of different relationships we have with other people? Would it be possible to live in total isolation from others? What sort of things is it good to do by yourself and what sort of things is it good to be able to do with others? Present these ideas as group posters. Make up a drama to show how we depend on others in our daily lives It is often essential to be able to do things with other members of a community. What sorts of things are best done by the whole community? How does this work? What happens if some people want to do one things and other want to do another? In what ways can people find a way forward in this situation? Try to find a way forward with a whole class to: o decide on a design for the new school playground o decide how to spend your class funds you have raised on a trip out o decide what play to present to parents at the end of term Have you seen this kind of decision-making in action in your own wider community? What sort of things does the whole community do together? How do they decide what to do? What sort of things might hinder a feeling of community from developing? How could these things be solved? A Wider Kalinago Community (p36) Find out from an atlas and internet research where there are other groups of Kalinago people in the Caribbean Are there any Kalinago people living in your area? Can you get in touch with them to ask them questions? In the UK, refer to www.d-c-o.org.uk Into the 21st century….and beyond (p38) What do you see as the future of the Kalinago nation? What plans would you have for your country if you were Kalinago chief? This would be the same as being prime minister in the UK. Maybe you could have a "mock election" in your class and everyone who wants to stand for chief could present their views of the future Who gets the most votes for their plans for the future? In the photograph Garnette Joseph, who was once a Kalinago chief, is wearing a T-shirt which says "still here" – what do you think this means? Could you design a T-shirt which has a new slogan on it for the 21st century Kalinago person? Make a class display of your designs. YET WE SURVIVE: REFLECTION Survival in the face of great difficulties in terms of history is a feature of the Kalinago people. What is meant by the word "survival"? Go back to the discussion at the beginning and refer to it. What feelings does it conjure up? How do the words " I survive" differ from the words "I exist", " I live", I am"? Do you agree that the word "survive" suggests " difficulties" of some sort? What kinds of difficulties have the Kalinago people "survived"? What kinds of great gifts exist for the Kalinago people as well as the difficulties. What resources do the Kalinago people have? You can make a list of all the things that the Kalinago people have - both physical (external), and personal (internal). Are the Kailnago people likely to continue to " survive" or might these words change in time? And might the sentiment or feelings be different? Who could make this possible? In whose hands does this future lie? Can you make a wall display/exhibition/performance of all the information you have collected and what you have learned? Display your information to other classes in the school and to parents and friends. Put some of it on to your school website so that you can share with others. Could you share it with the Kalinago people themselves? Are you now proud of what you have achieved? If so, you might like to tell others about the Carib Territory and the life of the Kalinago people. Try to make a poster or a powerpoint presentation to encourage people to visit the Carib Territory – what would it be important to let them see? What sort of things do you think would be of interest to a tourist from another country? Is it possible to make a drawing of a typical Kalinago person surrounded by all the things which are important to their life? Is there such a thing as a typical Kalinago person? Put a Kalinago person of the future into a hotseat and ask them how things have progressed in the Territory as a whole Useful websites and links www.visit-dominica.com general background information for tourists visiting Dominica www.lennoxhonychurch.com website of Dominica anthropologist and historian.
