1. National Geographic in the Field: Young Explorers Grants

National Geographic in the Field: Young Explorers Grants

<http://www.nationalgeographic.com/field/grants-programs/young-explorers.html>

Enhancing our efforts to foster the next generation of researchers,
explorers, and conservationists, National Geographic now provides seed
grants to individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 in the fields we have
a rich history of supporting. Young Explorers grants provide the
opportunity for many recipients to pursue their first experiences in the
field.

Young Explorers Grants (YEG) offer opportunities to individuals between
the ages of 18 and 25 to pursue research, conservation, and
exploration-related projects consistent with National Geographic's
existing grant programs, including: the Committee for Research and
Exploration (CRE), the Expeditions Council (EC), and the Conservation
Trust (CT).

Eligibility
The Young Explorers Grants Program supports a variety of projects—and an
age-range of applicants—that are generally not covered by other sources of
funding.

Applicants are not required to have advanced degrees. However, a record of
prior experience in the fields of research, conservation, or exploration
should be submitted as it pertains to the proposed project.

Funding is not restricted to United States citizens—foreign nationals are
invited to apply. Researchers planning work in countries abroad should
make great effort to include at least one local collaborator as part of
their team.

Where Should I Apply?
The Committee for Research and Exploration funds hypothesis-based
scientific research. Consult the CRE website for more information on the
fields of research funded.

The Conservation Trust funds innovative and applied approaches to
conservation with potential for global application. Consult the CT website
for more information on the types of projects funded.

The Expeditions Council funds exploration and adventure around the world.
Consult the EC website for more information on the types of programs
funded.

Grant Limits
Young Explorers Grants vary in amount depending on significance of the
project, though most range between US $2,000 and $5,000. National
Geographic Society funds often serve as complementary support—thus the
program encourages applicants to seek additional, concurrent funding from
other sources.

Grant Restrictions
National Geographic Society grants may not be used for indirect costs,
overhead, and other expenses not directly related to the project. Fringe
benefits are also excluded, as are salaries.

Funds may not be used for travel to scientific/professional meetings or
conferences, tuition, vacations, study abroad programs, volunteer
activities, legal actions, land acquisition, endowments, construction of
permanent field stations, or publication of research results.

Grant recipients are expected to provide the National Geographic Society
with rights of first refusal for popular publication and other media
coverage of their findings.

Obtaining an Application Form
Applying for a Young Explorers Grant is a two-step process.

First, you must submit a pre-application form online. If your
pre-application is approved, you will be sent an email with a link and a
password giving you access to our full application online.

Before you submit a pre-application, there are a few things you should
take into consideration:

* The pre-application form can be completed in multiple sessions. You
will be allowed to save your work and complete it at another time.
* You will be asked to upload an electronic copy of your curriculum
vitae (CV) while completing the form. Instructions will be provided.
* Please make sure that your browser is configured to receive cookies.
* This system works best on Internet Explorer 5.5 and Netscape 6.0 or
higher.
* If you have any questions about the online pre-application form,
consult our Frequently Asked Questions.
* If you don't find the answer to your question, Please email the
question to the fund you are applying to: cre@ngs.org,
conservationtrust@ngs.org, or council@ngs.org. Please remember to
include Young Explorers Grant in the subject line.
*

The Young Explorers Grants Program accepts pre-applications
throughout the year. Please submit your pre-application at least
eight months prior to your field dates, at least six months for the
Expeditions Council. If your application is approved—a decision
which takes about eight weeks—the relevant grant program will send
you an email with a link to the full application online. The names
of three academic or professional references and a curriculum vitae
are to be included with the full application.

THAILAND
Internet censorship to be followed by censorship of radio and TV

Reporters Without Borders is alarmed by a government announcement on
14 May that it will introduce new regulations for community radio
stations and cable and satellite TV stations aimed at controlling
programme content. Broadcasters would be required to seek permission
for each programme being aired, the government said.

"The adoption of these regulations would deal a fatal blow to free
expression in Thailand, which is already heavily restricted on the
Internet," Reporters Without Borders said. "The government will have
the power to ban programmes that question their policies and
legitimacy. We urge the authorities to scrap this plan."

Sathit Wongnongtoey, the minister in charge of the prime minister's
office, said the regulations would enable the authorities to take
action against any broadcaster airing content deemed to undermine
democracy. They would be enforced even-handedly with both "red-
shirt" (anti-government) and "yellow shirt" (pro-government)
broadcasters, Sathit said.

"Once the regulations take effect, any broadcast station airing
content deemed to be politically incendiary will not be allowed to
operate," he added.

The communication ministry has been censoring the Internet strictly
since January, ridding it of all content that is deemed to be
"politically incendiary" or to "attack the king." Suwicha Thakor, for
example, was sentenced to 10 years in prison on 3 April on a lese
majeste charge for posting content critical of the monarchy online.

-------------------

THAILANDE
Après Internet, le gouvernement veut mettre en place une censure sur
la radio et la télévision

Reporters sans frontières s'inquiète de l'annonce du gouvernement, le
14 mai 2009, de sa volonté de mettre en place une réglementation
visant à contrôler le contenu des programmes des stations de radio et
des chaînes de télévision par câble et par satellite. Le gouvernement
veut exiger des stations de radio communautaires et des chaînes de
télévision de demander la permission pour diffuser chacun de leur
programme.

"L'adoption de cette réglementation porterait un coup fatal à la
liberté de la presse dans le pays, qui connaît déjà de grandes
restrictions sur Internet. Les autorités auront le pouvoir
d'interdire les programmes qui remettent en cause leur politique et
leur légitimité. Nous demandons au gouvernement d'abandonner ce
projet", a déclaré l'organisation.

Sathit Wongnongtoey, ministre du bureau du Premier ministre, a
déclaré que le gouvernement interdira tous programmes diffusés par
les radios communautaires ou par les chaînes de télévision du câble
ou du satellite qui seront politiquement "sujet à discordes" ou
"insultants",, aussi bien pour les programmes des chemises rouges,
opposants au régime, que des chemises jaunes.

"Lorsque cette réglementation aura pris effet, toute station émettant
des contenus considérés comme politiquement incorrects ne sera pas
autorisée à opérer", a déclaré Sathit Wongnongtoey.

Depuis janvier 2009, le ministre de la Communication pratique une
censure de masse sur Internet, vidant cet espace de tout contenu
"politiquement incorrect" ou "portant atteinte au roi". L'internaute
Suwicha Thakor a par exemple été condamné à dix ans de prison le 3
avril 2009, pour "crime de lèse-majesté", en raison de la publication
en ligne de divers contenus portant atteinte à la monarchie.

1. Voice over IP

Voice over IP

http://www.techsoup.org/learningcenter/software/page4824.cfm?cg=telegreen&sg=blogweek4

[excerpt]

When we needed a personal touch, Voice over IP (also called VoIP, IP
Telephony, and Internet telephony) came in handy and kept costs down. VoIP
technology enables the routing of voice conversations over the Internet or
any other IP network. With VoIP, eRiders could chat online with each other
or with managers without incurring the expensive long-distance charges of
regular phone calls. VoIP allows users to place calls to traditional
landline phones, as well as to those with a VoIP account, a computer, and a
microphone headset.

eRiders typically use the VoIP service
Skype<http://www.techsoup.org/learningcenter/downloads/internet/page10380.cfm>
, but there are other services available. To learn about other VoIP tools,
or about VoIP technology in general, read TechSoup's article Ditch Your
Telephone for VoIP<http://www.techsoup.org/learningcenter/internet/page4776.cfm>
.

Ditch Your Telephone for VoIP Make free, or nearly free, phone calls over
the Internethttp://www.techsoup.org/learningcenter/internet/page4776.cfm

[excerpt]

Although in recent years the cost of long-distance phone calls has decreased
in many parts of the world, phone rates are often still prohibitively
expensive for nonprofits, especially those working internationally.
Communicating online is an alternative, yet can lack the efficiency -- and
effectiveness -- of a phone call. A possible compromise? Voice over Internet
Protocol ( VoIP or Voice over IP), a technology that enables you to make
calls over the Internet for significantly less than the cost of a
traditional phone call, or even for free.

Organizations most likely to benefit from VoIPs are those that need to make
lots of long-distance phone calls, particularly abroad. This includes
organizations that work internationally, but could also apply to those with
staff in other parts of the country or abroad. Small nonprofits and NGOs
that already have computers and an Internet connection, or whose staff work
remotely because there is no office, could also benefit, even if they are
just making local calls.

Depending on the service they choose, most organizations already have much
(if not all) of what they need to make use of VoIP technology. Any
additional required software is often free or inexpensive. However, there
may be extra costs for hardware and services, meaning that Internet phone
calls aren't cost effective for everyone. See below for more information.

[...]

More information on VoIP can be found on the following sites:

- How Stuff Works <http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ip-telephony.htm> :
A detailed, plain-language explanation of how VoIP works.
- VoIP Wiki <http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php>: A reference guide
to all things VoIP.
- VoIP on Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VoIP>: This online
encylopedia entry includes useful links and descriptions.

2. Invitation for Community Radio workshop [July 1-4, Dahanu, Maharasht
Posted by: "sajan venniyoor" venniyoor@gmail.com sajanvenniyoor
Date: Thu May 21, 2009 8:40 am ((PDT))

Community Radio Training Workshop
Organised by Community Radio Forum
at Dahanu, Maharashtra
July 1 - 4 2009

Community Radio Forum-India is a registered association of community radio
broadcasters, researches and advocates in India and its members have played
a significant role in shaping and drafting the new CR policy currently in
place. CRF believes in the power of community radio, is committed to
democratization of India's airwaves and works to enable community
organizations to set up their own Community Radio Station. The CRF, being a
membership based organization, is the only representative body of CR
practitioners in India

CRF is organising a 4 day workshop in July 2009 (1 - 4 ) targeted primarily
at communities and groups who have already applied for a CR license and are
in the preparatory phase of setting up a CRS. However, groups considering
setting up a CRS are also welcome.

Aims and Objectives of workshop

1. To demystify technological aspects of CRS
2. To understand the various aspects of content and programming required to
run a CRS
3. To provide hands on training on content development and programming for a
CRS

Critical to the sustainability of community radio is affordable technology.
The 4-day Workshop will discuss various options for studio as well as
transmission equipment, aiming to provide a clear understanding and
demonstration of the equipment required to set up and run a radio station.
Besides transmission, both hardware as well as software options for radio
programming and sound architecture will be displayed and discussed.

Additionally, participants will spend time producing short duration
programmes that they will edit, record and play back. Field recording
exercises with recorders will enable participants to gain a sense of the
challenges they face in building content for the CRS.

Location: Tamarind Tree Farm, Dahanu, Maharashtra.

1. Award-winning Liberian Radio Gbarnga offers training
Posted by: "George Lessard" mediamentor@gmail.com themediamentor
Date: Mon May 18, 2009 6:27 pm ((PDT))

Award-winning Liberian radio station offers training
Media Helping Media - London,England,UK
Radio Gbarnga was selected from a pool of 54 community radio stations
currently operating nationwide in Liberia. As part of the award winning by
Radio ...
<http://www.mediahelpingmedia.org/content/view/383/2/>

"...The Press Union of Liberia (PUL), which is the biggest journalist
umbrella organization in
Liberia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/Liberia>,
recently voted Radio Gbarnga the best community radio station in the country
for 2008/2009.

During the award presentation, PUL said Radio Gbarnga merited the honor
because the institution has over the years proven to be guided by high
ethical standards in the dissemination of news and information to the rural
population despite enormous challenges.

The PUL stressed that the selection process was carefully carried out,
employing the expertise of experienced individuals from diverse backgrounds
in order to achieve its objectives to reach and represent the whole
audience.

Radio Gbarnga was selected from a pool of 54 community radio stations
currently operating nationwide in Liberia. ..."

"...In 2007 the training unit of Radio Gbarnga assisted in the establishment
of three smaller community radio stations in central Liberia through the
provision of training for one week each that covered all aspects of
community radio management.

The dream of this station is to reform its training unit to a regional
training center in north central Liberia to provide more training
opportunities for rural journalists in Liberia.

Note: Radio Gbarnga is seeking training help and guidance so that it can
build the capacity of its training centre and take that training nationwide.
If any organisations can help, please use the contact us

Panel to resolve telecom rows

Thailand and Laos have formed a working panel aimed at managing wireless
telecommunication connections along their common border and at academic
co-operation.

The panel also aimed to resolve problems of interference in cellular
communications and radio broadcasts by community radio in border areas,
said Tassaporn Kate-atisorn, the vice-secretary of the National
Telecommunications Commission.

[...]

The working group would first meet at the government agency level, then
other co-operation would follow, he said.

He admitted that it was impossible to block radio signals crossing the
border because there were many radio stations.

Gen Choochart Promprasit, the NTC chairman, said frequency usage in border
areas posed problems because of signal strength. Meetings could lessen the
problem and allow radio stations to work with each other, he said.
