Résumé : The above information taken from photo of the dredge some time before the Canal opened in August 1914. My Grandfather was Wm. Thomas Orr mentioned as Chief Engr. Note tiny numbers appearing above men described in photo.
The Sandpiper was a suction dredge. Note living quarters above and dining hall. Note five rolled up canvas curtains used to keep rain out during downpours. Just one of many types and sizes of dredges used in the construction of the Canal. All part of the Dredging Division based in Gamboa, Canal Zone. Located there with slides prevalent this location made access to either end of the Canal a possibility. Myraflores went on the become Miraflores as the correct spelling.

Résumé : A new strain of L. stylirostris was introduced in New Caledonia. Quarantine facilities were set up inland using RAS and artificial seawater. After 5 months of rearing, all the 16 initial families were still represented with a 50% average survival. Three samplings for known pathogens were made during that period, all of them negative. Half the animals were taken to outdoor ponds for rearing to reproduction size when the rest was used to test different arrangements for a biosecure rearing until reproduction. Numerous spawnings and nauplii were obtained but larval rearings could not be completed. Different options are considered for the set up of a biosecure facility allowing the rearing and the breeding of pathogen free strains of shrimp.
Afin de disposer d’une plus forte diversité génétique exploitable, des producteurs calédoniens ont, en relation avec l’Ifremer, récemment introduit d’Hawaii une autre souche de crevette de l’espèce Litopenaeus stylirostris, domestiquée et garantie exempte de pathogènes. Malgré cette garantie sanitaire, les crevettes ont été maintenues en observation dans une quarantaine tertiaire pendant cinq mois avant la sortie et l’élevage d’une moitié de l’effectif en bassins terre extérieurs. L’autre moitié a été conservée dans les installations de quarantaine comme stock de secours au cas où un problème affecterait les crevettes élevées à l’extérieur. Les installations de quarantaine ont été progressivement transformées, tout en continuant les élevages, afin de réaliser un prototype de conservatoire biosécurisé. Les crevettes ont été élevées jusqu’à la taille de géniteurs en utilisant de l’eau de mer artificielle puis de l’eau de mer naturelle traitée au chlore. Des essais de reproduction et d’élevage larvaire ont été menés et de nombreuses pontes fécondées ont été obtenues mais les élevages larvaires, à une exception, n’ont pas dépassé le stade Zoé 3. Les analyses par PCR réalisées sur les crevettes du conservatoire ont montré que les mesures et précautions sanitaires qui avaient été prises avaient préservé le statut sanitaire “sans pathogènes” initial. Cette expérience a permis de mieux cerner les problèmes qui pouvaient se poser pour la mise en place et le fonctionnement d’installations biosécurisées utilisant des circuits fermés. Ces enseignements ont servi à répertorier les principales contraintes envisageables pour la réalisation d’un futur conservatoire crevette qui viendrait conforter et sécuriser les souches actuellement disponibles en Nouvelle-Calédonie. Plusieurs options sont proposées pour les crevettes devant entrer dans le conservatoire (sans quarantaine, quarantaine tertiaire, quarantaine primaire puis secondaire) et pour le type de fonctionnement du conservatoire. Les principaux critères pour le choix du site, l’utilisation de l’eau de mer et son traitement, les systèmes de recirculation sont abordés; et des schémas d’installations de quarantaine et de conservatoire sont proposés.

Steel pan music, which evolved from African drum music, originated in Trinidad and Tobago in the early 20th century and is often a featured instrument during Carnival. As one of the national emblems of Trinidad and Tobago, steel pans were traditionally made from used steel oil drums or steel containers. The container’s head is concave and the playing surface is divided into convex sections by slants to make the pan's range of sounds. In this image are used steel oil drums, some steel pans with the Shell Oil Company logo and the word "Invaders," painted white metal steel pan stands, and breadfruit trees. One poster is advertising the Shell Invaders Steel Orchestra. Other signs includes phrases such as: "We are the greatest" and "Notice there is to be no unnecessary coasting in the yard." In the background is a woman standing on top of a concrete building's roof with laudry and men standing near the wall. Slide labeled Trin. 16.

Résumé : International audience
OBJECTIVE: To compare incidences and risk factors for diabetes using seven definitions, with combinations of pharmacological treatment, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥7.0 mmol/L, and HbA(1c) ≥6.5%. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Participants aged 30-65 years from the Data from an Epidemiological Study on the Insulin Resistance Syndrome (DESIR) cohort were followed for 9 years. RESULTS: More men had incident diabetes as defined by FPG ≥7.0 mmol/L and/or treatment than by HbA(1c) ≥6.5% and/or treatment: 7.5% (140/1,867) and 5.3% (99/1,874), respectively (P < 0.009); for women incidences were similar: 3.2% (63/1,958) and 3.4% (66/1,954). Known risk factors predicted diabetes for almost all definitions. Among those with incident diabetes by FPG alone versus HbA(1c) alone, there were more men (78 vs. 35%), case patients were 8 years younger, and fewer were alcohol abstainers (12 vs. 35%) (all P < 0.005). A diabetes risk score discriminated well between those with and without incident diabetes for all definitions. CONCLUSIONS: In men, FPG definitions yielded more incident cases of diabetes than HbA(1c) definitions, in contrast with women. An FPG-derived risk score remained relevant for HbA(1c)-defined diabetes.

Description : Né en région parisienne, François Piquet obtient un diplôme d’ingénieur et un DESS en Design Industriel, avant de s'orienter vers le chant et la création musicale, qu'il mène de front avec une carrière dans le graphisme et le multimédia. Arrivé en Guadeloupe en 2000, il s'oriente professionnellement vers la vidéo et développe en parallèle sa production plastique, pour une première exposition de peintures en 2005. Il créée ensuite Collactif, un collectif d'interventions artistiques urbaines, qui participe en 2007 à la "Réappropriation de Darboussier", manifestation pendant laquelle il tresse sa première sculpture, monumentale, avec des lames de fer utilisées autrefois pour le cerclage des tonneaux de rhum. Il présente sa première exposition personnelle, " LE FER & LA PEAU ", en Guadeloupe et en Martinique, et installe des sculptures dans les rues de Marseille au cours d'une résidence de création en 2011. Il continue son exploration de la création contemporaine et caribéenne en 2012, à Puerto-Rico, République Dominicaine et Saint-Martin. Scarlett Jesus nous propose une étude de quelques œuvres de l'artiste.

Tales from the morgue… (A look at some of the stories that made the news ‘back-in-the-day’ with Clifford Stanley) Wedding of the year ANOTHER strange ‘wedding’ ….an all men affair… sent the down-town Charlestown area into a furore on Friday night as thousands blocked the traffic to get a glimpse of the ‘yellow tie’ men. The cutting of the three-tier cake was carried out without police intervention, unlike the last time when they were arrested and charged. The ‘bride’ and ‘groom’ kissed afterwards. Most of the notable characters, including ‘Anna’, ‘Miss Tiger Bay’, ‘Miss Ann’s Grove’, ‘Miss Bougala’, ‘Lady Cross Street’, ‘Countess of Berbice’, ‘Princess Desiree’, ‘Lady Ivlor’, ‘The Princess Royal of Essequibo’ and ‘Miss Hadfield Street’ were in attendance as bridesmaids. They displayed the latest fashions in headwear, shoes and dresses, causing spectators to gasp as they wended their way up to the reception hall on Russell Street. The ‘bride’ wore white chantilly lace over slipper satin. ‘Her’ headdress was a coronet of seed pearls. ‘She’ was bedecked with diamante necklace and earrings to match. The wedding portrait was taken at Lees Photo Studio of High Street, where mounted Police were called out to control the huge crowd which was gathered there. Later, two platoons of riot squad men were rushed to the wedding reception area to ease a traffic jam. (Guiana Graphic: Page One, July 12, 1959) Editor’s Note: Does anyone know whether any of these ‘girls’ are still alive? If so, do drop us a line.
