Fwd: [friday@ischool] Friday Afternoon Seminar: Nov 1: Elisa Oreglia: ICT in rural China.

Ooo, interesting, no? // Matt ----- Forwarded message ----- From: "Michael Buckland" <buckland(a)berkeley.edu> To: <friday(a)ischool.berkeley.edu>, "I School Announcement" <i-announce(a)ischool.berkeley.edu> Subject: [friday@ischool] Friday Afternoon Seminar: Nov 1: Elisa Oreglia: ICT in rural China. Date: Wed, Oct 30, 2013 11:17 FRIDAY AFTERNOON SEMINAR ON INFORMATION ACCESS. South Hall 107, Fridays 3-5 pm. http://courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i296a-ia/f13/schedule.html Open to the public. Everyone interested is welcome! Friday, Nov 1: Elisa OREGLIA: Dissertation Talk: From Farm to Farmville: Circulation, Adoption, and Use of ICT between Urban and Rural China. In the mid-2000s, China began a set of policies to "informatize" the countryside, i.e. to bring Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to rural residents in order to improve their economic conditions. These policies posit the countryside as a world of "less", compared to urban areas, and portray people who are at the margins of China's modernization (migrant workers, rural residents, older people, and farmers) as in need of ICT to access more and better information, and, as a consequence, more and better opportunities. In contrast to this widespread view of marginalized users as passive recipients of technologies, I look at the diffusion and appropriation of ICT such as mobile phones and computers among rural residents and migrant workers in their own terms: not as foils for elite views of why they would/should go online, but rather as people who discover the opportunities offered by ICT that are of interest to them, and try to use these opportunities as best as they can. By retracing the paths through which ICT travel in urban and rural China and the social relations that are maintained, renewed, and reinvented along the way, I show how people at the margins "invent" themselves as users, find a connection between their lives and technology, and participate from afar to China's rapid modernization. A presentation of this work was was named the best graduate student paper on China and inner Asia at the 2013 annual meeting of the Association for Asian Studies by the AAS' China and Inner Asia Council. Elisa Oreglia is completing her PhD in the School of Information. More at http://ercolino.eu/eo/. FORTHCOMING Friday, Nov 8: Niels W. LUND, Univ. of Tromso, Norway: Which discipline does Document Theory belong to? Wrapping up 25 years of work in progress. In the design of information services (libraries, archives, data sets, websites, etc.), you deal with documents in relation to their material nature (paper, software, hardware etc. etc.), their social status (legal issues with access etc., impact), and their mental/cognitive aspects (How are they been understood?). But in the world of higher education, you still have a relatively sharp division between humanities, social sciences, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), so what can you do when you feel you belong to all three academic worlds? Niels Windfeld Lund will soon retire as Professor, University of Tromso, Norway, where he was the founding director of the program in Documentation Studies. He has twice been a visiting scholar here. More at Bio card. Friday, Nov 15: Nick MERRILL: Alternative Visions of Internet Connectivity. Clifford LYNCH: The Failure of Stewardship Organizations. (Continued). Friday, Nov 22: Michael BUCKLAND: Support for scholarly editing. Friday, Nov 29: Thanksgiving: No seminar meeting. Friday, Dec 6: Nick MERRILL: Alternative Visions of Internet Connectivity.

She left her country and traveled around Europe, eventually becoming involved in modeling. From there she began to get work in European porn videos, and after establishing herself in that field, traveled to the U.S. and got into the adult-film business there. In 1997 she won the X-Rated Critics Organization Award for Best New Starlet. IMDb Mini Biography By: frankfob2(a)yahoo.com Trivia Nikita was a finalist for Penthouse Pet of the Year 2000. Nikita was also Miss Kyrgyzstan. Nikita Gross Nikita Gross Nikita Gross AKA Anna Kaminskaia is a Russian beauty. Porn Star Nikita is one of the hottest ladies of the 90's wave of Eastern European porn stars. She is a tall blond with an all natural body. Her pretty face recalls Michelle Phieffer, and Nikita's got the same sexy smile. Her Russian accent is getting better, while Nikita's sexuality remains constant. Nikita Gross got the porn bug while still living in Russia, but she soon realized that she would have to travel to have a chance at making it in the Xbiz. She moved to the Czech Republic and soon after moving to the States along with her friend Vicca. The pair can often be found performing in movies. Several of Nikita's videos are available here, including her hot fuck with Rocco Siffredi in "Jungle Heat." She sizzles in "The Coming Of Nikita," taking on Christophe Clark in an erotic tryst. But it's her American porn work where this blond slut has made a name for herself. Just take one look at Nikita's work in Greg Dark's "The Psychosexuals" if you need more proof of this lady's sex skills. She continues to turn out performances and is a sure bet to be one of the most popular porn stars. This Russian beauty entered the adult scene in the late 90's taking the adult world by storm with her strikingly beautiful looks and perfectly curvaceous body. Pornstar Nikita was first introduced to the adult biz in Russia, but realized that in order to get anywhere in the adult biz she would have to travel, so she moved to Czech republic where she got her feet wet in the hardcore scene there before venturing to the US. While in the Czech Republic Nikita met and quickly became close friends with adult starlet Vicca and the two paired up and decided to move to the US together to get their start in the American adult industry market. Pornstar Nikita and Vicca took the US adult industry by storm often performing together. Nikita quickly became one of the most requested adult starlets appearing in over 100 titles in her first year in the biz. http://www.nudevista.com/?q=nikita+gross 2013-03-28 Rita Russoff 9 8.5 Lots of sensual fun with the still sexy-as-ever Rita hoochiekoo 2013-03-15 Rita Russoff 8.5 9 great ps with a russian legend! yungnhung2013 2012-08-12 Rita Russoff 9 7 Hot n sexy MILF yestomassage 2012-07-01 Rita Russoff 8 8 To die for DiKKY 2012-04-17 Rita 8 8 Excellent experience whatever400 2012-04-13 Rita Russoff 8 7 Fun with a seasoned pro larsemars 2012-03-26 Rita Russoff 8 9 Great lapdance from a great lady JustAFaceInTheCrowd 2012-03-05 Rita Russoff 8.5 9.5 experienced and easy going gfchaucer 2012-02-23 Rita Russoff 8 9 amazing body. some of the best tits i've ever seen. pretty face. fun stage show. super seductive and engaging in private. delivered with little upsell. would repeat. justahobby7 2012-01-17 Rita Russoff 8.5 9.5 As promised gfchaucer 2011-06-09 Rita Russoff 8 8.5 Great sexy body created to excite porra 2011-04-15 Rita Russoff 8 8 Still like to see her beeker107 2010-03-23 Rita Russoff 7.5 9 everyone wants her beeker107 2010-03-11 Rita Russoff 8 8 Beautiful woman inside and out johnnyqrider 2010-01-15 Rita Russoff 8.5 9.5 see het once and your hooked beeker107 2009-11-19 Rita Russoff 9 9 Fell into her charms andyb 2009-11-10 Rita Russoff 9 9 Amazing service, so-so attitude alias39 2009-06-29 Rita Russoff 9 9 Worth the years I've been waiting vaxhacker 2008-08-22 Rita Russoff 7.5 8.5 a must see beeker107 2008-08-10 Rita Russoff 8 7.5 not the goddess she was a few years ago DirtyHari69

"Free as in sexist?" Free Culture and the Gender Gap

by Jenny Ryan

Hi all, A few weeks ago, I participated in a panel on Women in Wireless at the International Summit for Community WIreless Networks in Berlin. The presenters were excellent, and I found the audience wonderfully receptive and engaged with the issue of women's participation in wireless networking communities. Among the points I emphasized was the need to expand the definition of 'geek' to include for instance language geeks, theory buffs, writers, critical thinkers of whatever medium, etc. An expansive and inclusive notion of hacking is something the sudo community upholds admirably well, I think. At the same time, our radically inclusive approach brings about the danger of excluding those who do not feel safe or welcome in the presence of certain behaviors, and as such means we must continually work to cultivate safe space<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Section_2.3_Benefits> . A colleague whom I met at the conference shared this paper with me, and I'd like to share it with y'all. The points made by Reagle are particularly relevant to the Sudo Room community: "Free as in Sexist?" Free Culture and the Gender Gap, by Joseph Reagle (2013) http://www.firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4291/3381 Happy to discuss further, Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

(HIV) Immunity Project

by Eddan Katz

Thought the bio-hacker sudo folks would be interested in this project. I met Naveen Jain, CEO at Spark Art (http://www.sparkart.com), whose offices are in that green building across the street from Sudo Room on 22nd, who core the project - He sent me this executive summary version attachment. ---- an excerpted summary: Immunity Project is a team of scientists and entrepreneurs based in the San Francisco Bay Area who are developing a revolutionary vaccine platform using an entirely novel approach: to adopt the unique targeting capability inherent in controllers to give everyone that same immunity to the targeted disease. The first vaccine being developed using this platform is a vaccine for HIV. It is designed to turn everyone who receives it into an HIV controller. Immunity Project will offer the HIV vaccine to the world for free. To develop the vaccine, a machine learning algorithm -- similar to what is used in the most advanced spam filtering software -- was developed to identify the achilles heel biological markers on the HIV virus. The vaccine formulation consists of the achilles heel biological markers and FDA approved chemicals that cause an immune system response. The Project’s proprietary formulation enables the vaccine prototype to be stored in inert powder form without refrigeration and delivered to patients through a nasal inhaler. The Immunity Project vaccine is the first to be developed that does not contain any living or non living virus, giving it the potential to be among the safest vaccines ever developed. To date, the team holds ten granted patents -- and more are pending -- covering the vaccine formulation and delivery technology. sent from eddan.com
