World Malaria Day Report - Senior School
The students of Dubai Modern High School visited the village of Ambedkar Nagar, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, during the month of March, as part of their commitment and resolve to protect the environment against degradation. However, when the students ventured into the village, they realized that the lack of rainwater harvesting was only one of their problems; they were also struggling with the spread of vector-borne diseases such as Malaria, typhoid and cholera. Improperly dumped waste, clogged drains and inadequate sanitation had led to the breeding of mosquitoes which led to the local residents being afflicted with malaria and other extremely serious diseases.
As part of Modern's steadfastness and commitment to the project and the villagers concerned, the students also undertook measures to alleviate the local inhabitants of their struggle against the deadly disease. The students attended a water literacy program organized by the local NGO, Dhan Foundation with which we were collaborating, and worked with the villagers in helping them understand the causes, symptoms and measures to reduce the spread of malaria.

A cultural event entitled “Follow Georgia” featuring an exhibition of work by contemporary Georgian artist Ms. Tamara Kvesitadze and a music performance by ethno-jazz band “Shin” was held on the sidelines of the Assemblies of WIPO Member States, which met from October 2-11, 2017.
Ms. Tamara Kvesitadze’s works take roots in antiquity and mythology as well as in surrealism, which successfully combine art and construction. The music of the Shin smoothly combines Georgian folk melodies with jazz, which is the sound of Georgia’s musical encounter with the world.
WIPO co-organized the event with the Government of Georgia to mark the 25th Anniversary of the National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia – SAKPATENTI.

Roxy Music are an English art rock group formed in 1971 by Bryan Ferry, who became the group's lead vocalist and chief songwriter. The other members are Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Former members include Brian Eno (synthesizer and "treatments"), and Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin). Although the band took a break from group activities in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and have toured together intermittently since that time.
Roxy Music attained popular and critical success in the UK, Europe and Australia during the 1970s and early 1980s, beginning with their debut album, Roxy Music (1972).[1] The band was highly influential, as leading proponents of the more experimental, musically sophisticated element of glam, as well as a significant influence on early English punk music. They also provided a model for many New Wave acts and the experimental electronic groups of the early 1980s. The group is distinguished by their visual and musical sophistication and their preoccupation with style and glamour.[2] Ferry and co-founding member Eno have also had influential solo careers, the latter becoming one of the most significant record producers and collaborators of the late 20th century.
Rolling Stone magazine ranked Roxy Music #98 on its "The Immortals – 100 The Greatest Artists of All Time" list.[3]
A new studio album, which would have been their ninth, began recording in 2005. It would have been Roxy's first record with Brian Eno since 1973, who wrote two songs for it as well as played keyboards.[4] However, Bryan Ferry eventually confirmed that material from these sessions would be released as a Ferry solo album, with Eno playing on "a couple of tracks,"[5] and that he doesn't think they'll record as Roxy Music again.[6] Subsequently, this was confirmed by the announcement of a solo Bryan Ferry album, entitled Olympia.

Cultural critic Brian Holmes presents a talk entitled “Tactical Media in the Neoliberal Era: The Helicopter View,” in connection with the Critical Art Ensemble’s Keep Hope Alive Block Party and Acceptable Losses. Holmes presents an overview of four different fields of contemporary political engagement, arguing that the key contribution of the Critical Art Ensemble has been an unflinching theoretical confrontation with the global scale of “pancapitalism.”
Brian Holmes was born in San Francisco in 1959 and lives in Chicago. With Claire Pentecost and the 16 Beaver Group he co-organized the Continental Drift seminars (2005–11). He is a member of the Compass group, exploring the “Midwest Radical Cultural Corridor,” and of the Technopolitics group, with Armin Medosh and others. His recent books include Escape the Overcode (2009) and Unleashing the Collective Phantoms (2008). He also wrote the foreward for Critical Art Ensemble: Disturbances (LONDON, FOUR CORNERS BOOKS, 2012).

These are the pieces from my first solo show, entitled “The Ghost of the You Haunted Me..." held at Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago, IL on Sept 7, 2012.
This body of work is the culmination of many of the elements found in my custom toy work within my Forest of Sorrows narrative and I have strived to create a cohesive storyline that ties together many of the concepts and themes seen over the past couple of years.
In this story, when people pass onto the next life, those with unfinished business are taken to the Silva Dolorosa (The Forest of Sorrows) to begin a life anew, where the choices and decisions they make will determine how their lives turn out.
At the end of days as one’s life ebbs away, the Flederkanichen creatures arrive to shepherd these souls, manifested as a seed, and carry them to the Silva Dolorosa. Upon arriving, they drop the soul seeds down into the depths of the forest where the Saplings catch them, plant them in their heads waiting for them to bloom again, at which point they will plant them on the forest floor in the perfect place, so that the souls can begin their new lives.
On one particular day, with one particular soul seed dropped by the Flederkanichen, a big gust of wind blew the seed out of the hand of the Sapling assigned to it and it hit the ground, breaking the cardinal rule of the forest. It was at this moment that Locket, the geist girl was reborn in this limbo, confused and bewildered as to where she was. Frightened, she runs deep into the forest to discover who she was in her previous life, and what she was to become in the next.
Concurrently, at the moment at which Locket was born, the last guardian of the forest, the Hollow Knight, was awakened from deep slumber, tasked with ensuring the sanctity of the Silva and all of its denizens. He sets off on a quest to find Locket, only to encounter yet another new visitor to the forest - the ferocious and monstrous Blackwülf, who seems to be racing the Hollow Knight in a quest to reach Locket first.
This is the story of death, understanding, rebirth and redemption. I hope that the pieces I have created for this show will help to give an insight into this story that I have been telling.

This installation entitled “Unlimited Talk and Text” challenges us to face the reality of the times we live in. A 10ft (3m) paper mâchéd tree sculpted with pages from found phone books is reincarnated again to its natural posture reminding us of the past we once lived in while at the same time reminding us of the future that is ahead of us. The phonebook is no longer a necessity as technology advances us into a paperless society putting this species of ‘staple household items’ on the endangered list while the process of making these books also leads to putting species of trees, forests, habitats etc. on the endangered list as well.
An exhibition of the Church of Ireland’s historical architectural drawings – entitled A Visual Window to an Ecclesiastical World – will be launched by the Archbishop of Armagh, the Most Revd Dr Richard Clarke, next Tuesday evening (7th May) at the Architecture Gallery, in the Irish Architectural Archive, 45 Merrion Square, Dublin. Admission is free and the exhibition will be open to the public Tuesday to Friday (10am–5pm) until Friday, 30th August. The exhibition is curated by Dr Michael O’Neill FSA and draws on his extensive research into the Church’s architectural history, which has included the digitization of over 8,000 drawings to safeguard them for future generations.
The Church of Ireland’s churches, cathedrals and glebe houses have made an indelible impression on the Irish landscape. Spires, towers and pinnacles punctuate the skyline while in subtler ways the residential aesthetic of the glebe houses provide visual indicators of the former pre–eminence of the Church of Ireland – the Established or state Church until 1871.
Whilst many of the churches no longer function as places of worship, and the surviving glebe houses have either passed to private ownership, or have simply disappeared, an extensive collection of almost 9,000 original drawings (plans, elevations, sections and details) continues to document this ecclesiastical world, providing an important resource for understanding the architectural, liturgical, social and cultural development of the Church of Ireland through the centuries. The collection also covers many churches and indeed rectories which are still in use and occupied by the Church.
Created for the most part under the auspices of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners (1833 onwards), which had succeeded the Board of First Fruits (founded in 1711), the materials were initially accumulated in the diocesan registries to which they related, while others passed directly into the custody of the Representative Church Body (RCB), the charitable trust created after Disestablishment in the 1870s. Over the decades, these have been carefully accessioned and arranged in the RCB Library, founded in 1931, which is the Church of Ireland’s record repository.
There are 860 drawings of the cathedrals of Christ Church and St Patrick’s in Dublin as well as the diocesan cathedral of St Canice’s in Kilkenny, while a further 300 drawings are of glebe houses, but the majority (some 7,600 drawings) show varying aspects of the parish churches throughout the island. Some are the work of distinguished architects such as John Semple, James Pain, Joseph Welland, William Farrell, William Atkins, Lanyon, Lynn & Lanyon, J. Rawson Carroll, and W.J. Barre and are beautiful artworks in their own right, as well as in utility.
However, being outsize and clearly working drawings, many of which were in fact drawn on tracing paper, they are also fragile and cumbersome to handle. To reduce the wear and tear, but also to showcase them to a wider audience, the drawings have been systematically digitized and catalogued in the Library, and are now freely available to view online at archdrawing.ireland.anglican.org
A Visual Window to an Ecclesiastical World is arranged chronologically and thematically, aiming to guide the viewer through a representative selection of the overall collection and literally open a window to the past, telling the story of who designed these buildings – why and when they were built (or rebuilt). Dr Michael O’Neill FSA has digitized and catalogued the entire collection. This is one of the Church of Ireland’s events commemorating the 150th anniversary of Disestablishment, and represents a most positive collaboration between the RCB Library and the Irish Architectural Archive which will house the exhibition between May and August, with a series of lectures planned for Heritage Week later in the year.
Dr Michael Webb says: ‘As Chairman of the Irish Architectural Archive and as Chairman of the RCB Library and Archives Committee it is a particular pleasure to bring both organizations together for this exhibition. The Architectural Archive has the national collection of architectural drawings and is custodian of over 500,000 drawings of buildings from all over Ireland. The RCB Library has a unique collection of almost 9,000 drawings of churches, and rectories. It is wonderful to be able to display a selection of these drawings in the gallery which was specially designed for architectural drawings.’
Dr Susan Hood, Librarian and Archivist at the RCB Library, says: ‘This exhibition showcases in public for the first time some of the original drawings making up the collection at the RCB Library. It also marks the culmination of over eight years of hard work by Dr Michael O’Neill to catalogue and digitize the entire collection making it available for a worldwide audience through the Church of Ireland website. This painstaking and dedicated work (generously supported with church and other funding) demonstrates the Library’s capacity to digitize and share its unique holdings – literally opening a window to the past!’
On Thursday, February 25th and Friday, February 26th, the Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco, in partnership with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and
Ed W. Clark High School, held two lectures on Japanese pop culture delivered by Mr. Seiji Horibuchi entitled “Circulation of Culture: The History of J-POP Culture from the Eyes of America”. Mr. Horibuchi was the first to publish Japanese manga in America and has since played a key role in the promotion and popularization of the format as well as other aspects of Japanese pop culture. He currently serves as president of NEW PEOPLE, a media, promotion, and consulting company based in San Francisco. Around 170 people attended the UNLV lecture, and around 450 students and staff attended the Ed W. Clark lecture.
Speaking to predominantly Japanese language students at both schools, Mr. Horibuchi interwove his personal experiences and anecdotes while lecturing on the history of Japanese pop culture in the United States spanning the post-war period to current times. Mr. Horibuchi discussed the circular exchange of culture that exists between the United States and Japan, the appeal of Japanese pop culture, the recent rapid rise in popularity of J-POP Summit Festival in San Francisco, and the future prospects of J-Pop. Following his lecture, Mr. Horibuchi answered many questions from the attentive and eager audience.

My Slate is entitled "My Love Affair with Melbourne" ~ 60 hours later, and I am done!
Herewith then, my submission for our Session 4 Assignment, but with a slight twist. Whilst Sebastian Michaels suggested we gather a dozen or so images for the project, I guess I got a little carried away and managed to stop just short of 200, so please allow for some additional loading time when viewing my Slate.
If you are planning an photographic excursion to Melbourne Australia, or even just a normal sight seeing vacation, then this Slate will be of interest to you.
It basically highlights my experiences from a photographers / artists point of view, which includes not only a whole bunch of B&W images, but also interesting anecdotes, as well as some useful tips and tricks along the way.
Grab a cup of coffee, or two, sit back and enjoy...

Four brothers Billy, 17, Charlie 15, Rafferty 13, and Laurie 12 make up The Entitled Sons. The band name is a cheeky reference to how they felt some TV viewers would describe their upbringing after seeing them on their mum, Sarah Beeny's, latest TV show.
Debuting their first song "Break" on the TV show in the local pub near Bruton, it was only a few days later that they found themselves in the iTunes top 10, ahead of the likes of Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Dua Lipa and Years & Years.

The entire school enthusiastically geared up to support the World Malaria Day. The Primary Section had a special assembly entitled -"Dubai Modern High joins World Malaria Day" where students were made cognizant of the causes of Malaria and the need to support the initiative taken by Tony Blair Face to Faith Foundation. It was amazing to see all the students and teachers wearing the blue ribbon in the entire Primary section.The students of grade 4 were given an assignment over the week end - cross linked with science [ Mini Beasts - Mosquitoes ]
A display board was also put up showcasing the necessary information about the challenge posed by Malaria and the steps to overcome it.
World Malaria Day was observed in the Senior School as well.
The students sported the blue ribbon on World Malaria Day and had presentations on Malaria and its causes prepared by the students themselves. The students had a lot of questions about the disease which were answered by the students who had prepared the presentation under the guidance of the teacher.
The students of Dubai Modern High School visited the village of Ambedkar Nagar, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, during the month of March, as part of their commitment and resolve to protect the environment against degradation. However, when the students ventured into the village, they realized that the lack of rainwater harvesting was only one of their problems; they were also struggling with the spread of vector-borne diseases such as Malaria, typhoid and cholera. Improperly dumped waste, clogged drains and inadequate sanitation had led to the breeding of mosquitoes which led to the local residents being afflicted with malaria and other extremely serious diseases.
As part of Modern's steadfastness and commitment to the project and the villagers concerned, the students also undertook measures to alleviate the local inhabitants of their struggle against the deadly disease. The students attended a water literacy program organized by the local NGO, Dhan Foundation with which we were collaborating, and worked with the villagers in helping them understand the causes, symptoms and measures to reduce the spread of malaria.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The peony or paeony (Paeonia) is the only genus in the flowering plant family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, southern Europe and western North America.
Most are herbaceous perennial plants 0.5–1.5 metres tall, but some are woody shrubs up to 1.5–3 metres tall. They have compound, deeply lobed leaves, and large, often fragrant flowers, ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer. In the past, the peonies were often classified in the family Ranunculaceae, alongside Hellebores and Anemones.
The peony is named after Paeon or Paean, a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. Asclepius became jealous of his pupil; Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into the peony flower
The peony is among the longest-used flowers in ornamental culture and is one of the smallest living creature national emblems in China. Along with the plum blossom, it is a traditional floral symbol of China, where it is called 牡丹 (mǔ dān). It is also known as 富贵花 (fuguihua) "flower of riches and honour", and is used symbolically in Chinese art.[2] In 1903, the Qing Dynasty declared the peony as the national flower. Currently, the Republic of China on Taiwan designates the plum blossom as the national flower, while the People's Republic of China has no legally designated national flower. In 1994, the peony was proposed as the national flower after a nationwide poll, but the National People's Congress failed to ratify the selection. In 2003, another selection process has begun, but to date, no choice has been made.
The famous ancient Chinese city Luoyang has a reputation as a cultivation centre for the peonies. Throughout Chinese history, peonies in Luoyang are often said to be the finest in the country. Dozens of peony exhibitions and shows are still held there annually.
In Japan, Paeonia lactiflora used to be called ebisugusuri ("foreign medicine"). In kampo (the Japanese adaptation of Chinese medicine), its root was used as a treatment for convulsions. It is also cultivated as a garden plant. In Japan Paeonia suffruticosa is called the "The King of flowers" and Paeonia lactiflora is called the "prime minister of flowers".
Pronunciation of 牡丹 (peony) in Japan is "botan". Before the Meiji period, meat taken from quadrupeds was seldom consumed in Japan due to Buddhism. Thus in cases where such meat was handled, it was paraphrased using the names of flowers. The term botan was used (and is still used) to paraphrase wild boar meat. This comes from the flowery resemblance of the sliced meat when spread over a dish. Another example is sakura (cherry blossoms) which stands for horsemeat.
In 1957, the Indiana General Assembly passed a law to make the peony the state flower of Indiana, a title which it holds to this day. It replaced the zinnia, which had been the state flower since 1931.
Mischievous nymphs were said to hide in the petals of the Peony thus causing this magnificent flower to be given the meaning of Shame or Bashfulness in the Language of Flowers. It was named after Pæon, a physician to the gods, who obtained the plant on Mount Olympus from the mother of Apollo. Once planted the Peony likes to be left alone and punishes those who try to move it by not flowering again for several years. Once established, however, it produces splendid blooms each year for decades (Taken from The Language of Flowers, edited by Sheila Pickles, 1990).
Peonies are also extensively grown as ornamental plants for their very large, often scented flowers.
Peonies tend to attract ants to the flower buds. This is due to the nectar that forms on the outside of the flower buds.
Peonies are a common subject in tattoos, often used along with koi-fish.

Page from a brochure entitled The Centenary Year of Timothy Taylor & Co. Ltd. (1858-1958). The 24-page brochure contains a history of the Keighley-based brewery and an account of brewing itself, accompanied by line drawings. It was used as a promotional item. This page includes a portrait of founder Timothy Taylor.
Timothy Taylor & Co. Ltd. (maltsters and brewers) was founded by Timothy Taylor in December 1858. It originally operated from a brewery in Cook Lane, Keighley, before moving to Knowle Spring in 1863 where larger premises could be constructed. Timothy Taylor was born in Bingley in 1826. He was originally in the tailoring trade, with a shop on Low Street, Keighley. He married Charlotte Aked and his two sons (Robert Henry and Percy) continued the brewing business after Timothy's death in January 1898. Within a year of starting, the company had two licensed houses - the Volunteer Arms in Lawkholme Lane and the New Inn at Bocking. A well was sunk at Knowle Spring in 1894 that continues to provide the water for the brewing to this day. Timothy Taylor's became a limited company in 1929. The firm's championship-winning ale Landlord was created in 1952. Further sons and nephews continued to run the business. Timothy's grandson John Taylor, later Conservative peer Lord Ingrow, was the last direct descendant to run the company. He was replaced in 1995 by Charles Dent, who married John Taylor’s daughter Annie. Tim Dewey took over as chief executive in October 2014.

The John Lennon Peace Monument, also known as the European Peace Monument, is entitled Peace and Harmony and located at Kings Dock Liverpool. Dedicated to the memory of John Lennon. Peace & Harmony was unveiled by Julian and Cynthia Lennon at a ceremony in Chavasse Park, Liverpool, on Saturday 9 October 2010 to celebrate what would have been John Lennon's 70th birthday.
The monument is now outside the Echo Arena
The eighteen-foot sculpture was created by Lauren Voiers, a 19-year-old American artist, and fabricated by Lyle London at Art in Metal USA in Tempe, Arizona. Voiers was commissioned by the Global Peace Initiative to create the monument from her original painting, Peace & Harmony, as a part of the Global Peace Initiative to position sculptures of peace on each continent.
The art work was originally in a five-acre green space in Chavasse Park, but is now in the public space alongside the Liverpool Echo Arena, offering a geographical point where people can gather to remember John Lennon and contemplate his quest for world peace. The sculpture is hand-painted metal with a white glass feather placed at the top. Artist Voiers describes the essence of the monument as it relates to John Lennon, "His overall message is of people for people. When I was starting the monument I decided to incorporate music as the overall theme. There are a lot of healing powers to music, and Lennon captured that through his whole career and in dedicating himself to peace and bringing people together."
The significance of the white feather is explained by Julian Lennon, "Dad once said to me that should he pass away, if there was some way of letting me know he was going to be OK – that we were all going to be OK – the message would come to me in the form of a white feather.”

The Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus) is a species of typical owl (family Strigidae). Owls belonging to genus Asio are known as the eared owls, as they have tufts of feathers resembling mammalian ears. These "ear" tufts may or may not be visible. Asio flammeus will display its tufts when in a defensive pose. However, its very short tufts are usually not visible. The Short-eared Owl is found in open country and grasslands. The word flammeus is Latin for "flaming, or the color of fire"
The Short-eared Owl occurs on all continents except Antarctica and Australia; thus it has one of the largest distributions of any bird.
