Emergency response in Mozambique after Cyclone Idai.
Cyclone Idai made landfall on Thursday, March 14 with sustained winds of over 110 mph. Stated the deadliest weather disaster of the year so far, homes and cities in the southeastern African country of Mozambique are flooded due to deadly storms brought by Tropical Cyclone Idai. Even before making landfall, flooding caused by the cyclone's weather system killed 122 people.
Cyclone Idai touched down in Mozambique, causing devastation across the country, and continuing through neighboring Malawi and Zimbabwe. Now, families throughout all three countries are displaced and in need of food, water and shelter. CRS and Caritas are providing support to affected families.
Main Street Opera House. Registration for the AP Days week three event. Line up and wristband and button distribution.
I made a visit to Disneyland on the afternoon of Sunday February 21, 2016. It was warm and with a light to moderate crowd.
I was happy to see the Beauty and the Beast Stained Glass Rose pin finally released (OE, $8.99). I got it in the World of Disney, but also saw it in LGM Command Store. It is one of the prettiest OE pins I've seen in awhile. There was also a new Maleficent pin, that I haven't seen announced anywhere. It is a black and white collage of different images of maleficent, both in fairy and dragon forms. It is in a silver frame made of thorns. There was also a new hinged Mickey and Walt pin.
I got the week 3 AP Days button, with the title 'Fantasy and Fun.' I didn't stick around for the show in the Opera House later this evening, which was about the history of the Silly Symphonies cartoons.
I went up to the exhibit in the Main Street RR Station. Since the Disney RR is out of service while the Star Wars Land is being constructed (which will take at least a year), Disneyland has parked a railroad train at the Main Street station. It is the #3 train, the Fred Gurley. It has the engine, one regular passenger car, and the Lilly Belle parlor car in the back. They don't let people inside the Lilly Belle, but allowed us to take photos of the interior through its open windows. There was also a replica of the original Lilly Belle model train that was scaled up to become the #1 train of the Disneyland RR, the C. K. Holliday.
In the Main Street Emporium, they had a new women's Snow White tee. They also had the new Belle and Ariel fashion handbags. The small zippered handbag was $65, and the medium tote bag was $75. There was also a satchel, whose price I didn't get.
I got the #4 high score of the day at Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. I had lunch at the Plaza Inn as usual, then left the Park.
The Art Gallery of Knoxville
January 1-27, 2007
"Distribution Religion" was developed in 1973 by Chicago artists Dan Sandin and Phil Morton as a text to describe the schematic plans for Sandin's Image Processor, an analog computer optimized for video processing. The "Distribution Religion" expressed a determined belief in the idea of free and open copying, which is a central aspect of the Chicago School and a notion that has begun to become important to many contemporary artists.
From January 1 – 27, The Art Gallery of Knoxville will examine situations of sharing and exchange provided by three contemporary Chicago groups: criticalartware, People Powered , and Temporary Services. Each of these artists have developed interests in distribution and it's role as an important social / cultural concern.
criticalartware is a contemporary group led by artists jonCates, jon.satrom and bensyverson. A central part of their work involves the public distribution / presentation of interviews, video and text featuring the key players of early code or concept based Art. They are particularly interested in enabling "shared cultural resources connecting these conversations." In Knoxville, criticalartware will coordinate an electronic system for the sharing and exchange of this information – primarily through a custom computer interface.
People Powered is a Chicago group run by artist Kevin Kaempf. His work integrates itself socially, becoming a means for the distribution of physical tools. People Powered "adopts consumer culture's aesthetic forms to distribute information about sustainable living practices such as community composting, recycling, and free public transportation." A recent People Powered exhibit at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art highlighted prototypes for "Chicago Blue Bikes," in which junked bicycles are salvaged and rebuilt into a fleet of public bicycles. The Knoxville exhibition will become part of the project "Loop Limited: Recycled Paints" where unfinished cans of used paint are recycled/mixed together and redistributed into the community. Cans of paint will be available for free in the Gallery space.
The artists of Temporary Services are founders of the Chicago space "Mess Hall" and widely known for their public and social works. Often the group aims to "provide a network for the collection and distribution of artistic work going on looking at the line between art and ethics, power and art, and the role of the public." In Knoxville, the group's Booklets, a large collection of self published material on a wide range of subjects, will be freely available. Alongside this substantial library, an example set of works given away at the Temporary Services event "Free For All" will be shown. "Free For All" was a public art project where multiples of many small objects were collected by the public within a cardboard box that acted as a portable, distributed exhibition.
Temporary Services: Free For All by Marc Fischer "Over 10,000 objects were given away! Over 50 artists, individuals and organizations contributed work that was distributed for free at this one-day-only event. Artists' work was integrated with a wide range of material submerging the work in a broader context than it normally enjoys. Religious tracts, booklets, flyers, stickers, matchbooks, posters, audio tapes, and postcards were among the items given away. … 100 boxes (like the one pictured above) were provided for free. Visitors were invited to take anything they wanted making their own portable exhibitions to take with them."
"Free For All" is a self-replicating exhibit, one which is shared and exchanged in both the collecting and the viewing of it. Through "make-shift methods of distribution and display that are commonly found in flea markets, garage sales and craft shows" Temporary Services created an alternative, distributed exhibition that enabled a public to engage with cultural information on a level of personal ownership. The exhibition dealt not only with the free use of Art – but the creation of free and open systems as Art.
On the night of Friday, January 5, 2007 members of criticalartware will be involved in creating a free computer art and cultural event, (A) r4WB1t5 micro.Fest at the Pilot Light on January 5th. "(A) r4WB1t5 micro.Fest in Knoxville parallel processes The Art Gallery of Knoxville and the Pilot Light nightclub with intersections of New Media Art, realtime audio video processing, computer art geekery, digital punk rock, noise music, the Blues and freak folktronics!" Please join us to celebrate the Distribution Religion opening at both The Art Gallery of Knoxville and The Pilot Light.

10 February 2014. Shangil Tobaya: (center) Abdurrahim Mohamed, a World Food Programme (WFP) truck driver, washes his face during a break near Shangil Tobaya, North Darfur, coming from El Fasher. The road trip, nearly 100 kilometers, took more than 8 hours due to difficult road conditions. The convoy, formed by 10 trailers with two containers each, was protected all the way by UNAMID troops from Ethiopia and Rwanda. More than 350 metric tons of goods, basically oil and sorghum, were distributed to the Internally Displaced People (IDP) in Nifasha and Shaddad camps.
WFP through its partner, Africa Humanitarian Action (AHA), provides food for around 20,000 beneficiaries in the camps, who have fled from different surrounding villages in the region; some 14km north of the South Darfur border and at the midpoint between El-Fasher and Nyala. WFP food remains the main source of food for IDPs in Shangil Tobaya.

Pervaiz Lodhie has immediately offered to gift 249 lanterns, allowing for three prizes per school. His suggestion was to distribute them to 1)Top student of the year 2) Top most improved student of the year 3) Top best attendance student of the year.
Mr. Lodhie also suggested encouraging the prize recipients to teach a short literacy course to family members or relatives.
During his recent visit to Pakistan in March 2016, Pervaiz visited the two schools in Mirpurkas and Tando Allahyar and distributed the solar lanterns to the 7 best students. Remaining 242 lanterns will be distributed in first and second week of April 2016
