Cambridge Bay:
A Time and a Place
Souns featuring / mettant en vedette
Tanya Tagaq
A Time and Place is a meditative sound journey of music and soundscapes created exclusively from audio recorded in and around Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. Invited by musical collaborator Tanya Tagaq, an acclaimed Inuit throat singer, Michael Red (Souns) carefully gathered sounds including wind, dogs, birds, rushing water, still water, ice melting and crackling, feet moving through slush, a qillauti (drum) played and tightened, objects being tossed around and banged together at the community dump, the 10 o’clock siren, truck doors slamming, kids laughing and playing and more. Red also recorded Tanya singing and experimenting with other sounds from her mouth, running her fingers through furs and feathers, swishing ulus (knives) together, pulling at the ground, clacking rocks together and slurping freshly melted ice. Over three years, in Vancouver, Red categorized the sounds into a kind of subjective library of sounds, edited them into songs and sound pieces, and completed a continuous cycling mix of the songs and pieces. The mix heard in this installation is intended as a cyclical story that can be picked up anywhere, moving between the quieter moments of ambient field recordings and more dramatic areas like beat-driven songs. This is a sound expression of an experience — a compilation of ideas inspired from, and rooted in, land above the treeline.
A Time and Place consiste en un parcours de méditation sonore composé exclusivement de musique et d’un paysage sonore enregistrés à Cambridge Bay, au Nunavut, et aux alentours. Sur l’invitation de sa collaboratrice musicale Tanya Tagaq, interprète de chant guttural inuite de renom, Michael Red (Souns) a recueilli avec soin des sons produits par le vent, des chiens, des oiseaux, de l’eau qui coule, de l’eau immobile, de la glace qui fond et qui craque, des pieds qui se déplacent dans la neige fondante, un qillauti (tambour) dont on joue et dont on tend la peau, des objets que l’on secoue et que l’on cogne les uns contre les autres au dépotoir communautaire, la sirène de 10 h, des portières de camions qui se ferment, des enfants qui rient et qui jouent, pour ne citer que ceux là. M. Red a aussi enregistré Tanya pendant qu’elle chantait et émettait d’autres sons avec sa bouche, faisait glisser ses doigts sur des fourrures et des plumes, frottait des ulus (couteaux) les uns contre les autres, remuait la terre, faisait claquer des pierres et aspirait de la glace fraîchement fondue. Pendant trois ans, à Vancouver, M. Red a classé ces sons dans une sorte de bibliothèque subjective et les a édités sous forme de chansons et de pièces sonores, dont il a créé un mélange audio continu et cyclique. Le mélange audio que produit cette installation se veut une histoire cyclique que l’on peut reprendre n’importe où, qui passe de la tranquillité des enregistrements ambiants à l’effet plus dramatique des chansons rythmées. Cette œuvre est l’expression sonore d’une expérience — une compilation d’idées qui puise son inspiration et ses racines dans la terre au-delà de la limite forestière.

I thought Source Code was a pretty slick thriller and decided to attempt a version of the poster.
I went with more of a minimalistic teaser version of the poster so as to try and draw the viewer in.

The scientific name for the animal on the right, the common eland, is tragelaphus oryx. The smaller animal, on the left, is commonly known as a scimitar-horned oryx. The two species are related!
Code, the common eland, is a gentle giant who loves to entertain human guests. He'll tolerate much taunting from his distant cousins before making a head gesture that'll scare them away.
P.S. Flickr has been up and down this morning. It's back up at the moment, but I need to leave for work. Will catch up soon!
The card is shaped differently so that a blind user can feel the text braille instructions, a low vision user can read the important information in high contrast & because of the bump, blind users can use the QR codes to know which corner of the card to scan. Notice the ridge around the QR code in the bottom right. It's brilliant! The second side is in small text.

Jaina Lefevre: Hi Moms!
Debra Charron: "Hiyas sweetie"
Deets Carroll: hey kiddo! Have a good day?
Jaina Lefevre shrugs. 'It's okay." She looks over at Deb. "Today's it, right?"
Debra Charron nods as she removes some civilian clothes from her closet and begins to dress, "Yes Starfish, its supposed to be very soon now"
Jaina Lefevre looks at Deb. "I'm coming to watch, okay? I want to see you kick his ...butt." she looks down at herself. "I should put on pants maybe?"
Debra Charron nods and smiles as she slips on her oldest jacket and reaches for the gunbelt, "The little beach is pretty grimy - pants would be a great idea"
Deets Carroll nods to Jaina. "It's today." She reaches under the bed and pulls out a heavy trunk. "Pants might be warmer." She opens the trunk and begins to dress as well.
Jaina Lefevre goes to find pants and pulls them on, taking her skirt off. "Anything else I can do? Like, borrow a gun?"
Deets Carroll finishes braiding her hair and glares at the child. "You and your slingshot are what started this mess. I don't think giving you a gun is the wisest move.
Debra Charron smiles at Jania and kneels down to give her a hug, "Sweetie, the idea is that just Tres and I have guns - to settle this. This way we don't have to make a war and get lotsa other people fight"
Jaina Lefevre narrows her eyes at Deets. "IT was NOT my fault. Don't blame me. I thought it was, but it wasn't. He was told to get me when Assbrink saw me on the camera. He /told/ me that."
Jaina Lefevre turns and wraps her arms around Deb and whispers. "Don't you let him hurt you, Mommy. He's a pansy."
Deets Carroll gazes into her trunk trying to choose between a sniper rifle or the combat shotgun, and finally chooses the shotgun.
Debra Charron hugs Jania and struggles with how much reality she needs to make the child aware of, ultimately deciding that the event itself will be eye-opening enough. "Starfish, I love you. Tres has needed taking-down for a long time, so if this hadn't happened it'd just be over something else"
Debra Charron flips open her cell and makes a quick call
Jaina Lefevre kisses her cheeks and hugs her tight. "Well, tell Mom that because it's NOT my FAULT!"
Deets Carroll slips on her shades and straightens, shrugging to get the heavy vest to sit comfortably. She sighs, and crouches to the child's level. "I know it's not your fault, Jaina. I shouldn't have said that. We're all just a little on edge." She offers an armored hug.
Jaina Lefevre goes to hug Deets. "Don't say those thiings. That's not nice. We gotta be there for Moms so she can win."
Deets Carroll smiles, and hugs the child close. "You can cheer for her. Get your friends, too." She releases the girl and stands.
Debra Charron extracts her USP from its holster and carefully examines it, checking its function, sights and heft. She ejects the magazine and inserts a fresh one, locking it in place before returning the weapon to its holster
Debra Charron looks at the clock over the bed, "Well - we'd better get down there. I'd hate to be late for my own duel." Deb hugs Jania again and whispers, "I love you Starfish" before releasing her and turning to Deets. Deb smiles and gives her an awkward hug over her tactical vest, "I love you too Deets"
Jaina Lefevre slips a little ribbon dolly into Deb's pocket. Hair ribbons and knots. "IT's a good luck charm. Everyone hasta have those."
Deets Carroll smiles and returns Deb's hug. "Just kick his ass."
Jaina Lefevre is ready to go, and holds Deb's hand a moment or two before letting her go.
Deets Carroll checks the time. "I should get down and check the place out. I'll see you soon."

Bletchley Park
The nineteenth-century mansion and estate near Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire,
has received latter-day fame as the central site for British codebreakers during World War II, although at the time personnel and location of the facility was a closely guarded secret, the estate housed the worlds first code breaking computer. Early personnel on the GC&CS team included Alan Turing, Gordon Welchman, Hugh Alexander and Stuart Milner-Barry.

Vodafone has announced plans to provide coding training to 1,000 teenage girls across 26 countries in what is the world’s furthest-reaching in-person global coding programme of its kind. The commitment was announced in advance of @WomenScienceDay. Vodafone is partnering with @CodeFirstGirls to address widening gender gap in STEM.
For many years, women and girls have played an important role in science and technology. Without the work of technology pioneers like Hedy Lamarr and Barbara Liskov, we would not have Wi-Fi and email as we know it. But despite this, women and girls are still grossly under-represented in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) education and careers. Only 35% of girls enter further education in STEM subjects, and many have little encouragement to equip themselves with the skills to thrive in these industries.
Vodafone wants to help change this. In a partnership with social enterprise Code First: Girls, Vodafone’s #CodeLikeAGirl programme will provide five-day, coding workshops for girls, ages 14-18, across its geographical footprint in Europe, India, the Middle East, South Africa and Australasia. In 2017, 500 girls across Vodafone’s 26 markets were taught to code as part of the Vodafone and Code First: Girls partnership. This year, 1,000 teenage girls will benefit from the programme.
Regional agreement on maritime piracy to broaden scope to other illicit activity
An international agreement that has been instrumental in repressing piracy and armed robbery against ships in the western Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden is set to significantly broaden its scope.
Signatories to the Djibouti Code of Conduct have agreed to work towards extending its remit to address other illicit maritime activity that threatens safety and security in the region, such as marine terrorism, environmental crimes, human trafficking and Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.
National focal points for the code, which was adopted under the auspices of the IMO in 2009,
have adopted a resolution expressing concern at the increasing risks from transnational organized crimes at sea and other threats to maritime safety and security in the region. They agreed to encourage information sharing on all illicit activities.
Training and other capacity-building activities implemented under the auspices of the Djibouti Code of Conduct have been credited with contributing to the reduction of piracy in the Western Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden, alongside the efforts of merchant ships to implement IMO guidance and best management practices, naval forces continuing to deter and disrupt pirate activities and States continuing to prosecute suspected pirates and increasing their maritime law-enforcement capabilities.
But the focal points recognized that piracy in the region has merely been suppressed and its root causes have yet to be addressed. They agreed that, nonetheless, there is now a window of opportunity for IMO Member States in the region to implement capacity-building programmes to prevent a resurgence of piracy and to address wider maritime security issues, as a basis for sustainable development of the maritime sector.
The focal points were meeting this week (11-12 November) in the newly-completed Djibouti Regional Training Centre, which was formally opened by Mr. Moussa Ahmed Hassan, Djibouti’s Minister of Equipment and Transport, on Thursday 12 November. The Djibouti Regional Training Centre will play a key role in regional capacity-building initiatives under the Code of Conduct.
IMO Secretary-General Koji Sekimizu, speaking by video message during the ceremony, encouraged the Government of Djibouti to be imaginative in its use of the new building and to be proactive in maximizing its potential, for the benefit of the whole region. The centre could be used as a venue for wider port, maritime, law-enforcement or indeed any other training, conferences and meetings, as well as being a centre of excellence for regional maritime security training, he said.
“This impressive new centre will be a vital component in the provision of maritime security and other training in the Gulf of Aden and Western Indian Ocean area and fully supports IMO’s 2015 World Maritime Day theme: “Maritime education and training”. It should be an asset to Djibouti and to the region for many years to come,” Mr. Sekimizu said.
The national focal points meeting also approved the 2016 plan for regional training for Djibouti Code of Conduct countries.
Construction of the Djibouti Regional Training Centre was funded by Japan, through the Djibouti Code Trust Fund, with equipment provided by Denmark and the Republic of Korea.
IMO continues to support Member States to implement the Djibouti Code of Conduct through its Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme (ITCP) and through the Djibouti Code Trust Fund. It also maintains a presence in the region, focussed on the code, with two staff members based in Nairobi, Kenya, whose primary role is training.
The opening ceremony was also attended by Mr. Chris Trelawny, Special Advisor to the IMO Secretary-General; His Excellency Tatsuo Arai, Ambassador of Japan to the Republic of Djibouti; His Excellency Joseph Silva, European Union Ambassador to Djibouti, Mr. Hassan Darar Houffaneh, Minister of Defence of Djibouti; Mr. Ali Mirah Chehem Daoud, Director of Maritime Affairs of Djibouti; Ms. Mina Houssein Doualeh, Director of the Djibouti Regional Training Centre; as well as senior government officials from Djibouti. Also present were representatives from Somalia and from Djibouti Code of Conduct signatories, donor countries and international training partners.
Djibouti code of conduct
The Code of Conduct concerning the Repression of Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in the Western Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden (the Djibouti Code of Conduct) provides a framework for capacity building in the Gulf of Aden and Western Indian Ocean to counter the threat of piracy. The Code was signed on 29 January 2009 by the representatives of: Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Maldives, Seychelles, Somalia, the United Republic of Tanzania and Yemen. Comoros, Egypt, Eritrea, Jordan, Mauritius, Mozambique, Oman, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates have since signed, bringing the total to 20 countries. Since its adoption, the Code has become the major focus for facilitating transnational communication, coordination and cooperation in its four thematic broad pillars: delivering national and regional training, enhancing national legislation, information sharing and building counter-piracy capacity.
