ARM deployed a mobile facility downwind of the city of Manaus, Brazil near Manacapuru from January 2014 to November 2015 for the Observations and Modeling of the Green Ocean Amazon (GoAmazon2014/15) field campaign. The mission was to understand aerosol and cloud life cycles, particularly the susceptibility to cloud-aerosol precipitation interactions, within the Amazon Basin.

Enduro enthusiasts from the U.S. Army Installation Management Command headquarters took to the open road through the Texas Hill Country Friday, May 13 for IMCOM’s Motorcycle Safety Day.
Nineteen riders gathered at 9 a.m. to gear up and listen to a safety brief from Command Sgt. Maj. Neil Ciotola and Budget Analyst T.J. Love, who made sure all riders wore proper safety gear, including a helmet, eye protection, full-fingered gloves, full trousers and over-the-ankle boots. Love briefed the participants on hand signals and motorcycles safety guidelines, such as the “rule of big” when yielding to cars.
Participants fired up their motorcycles for a 100-mile scenic ride along the green waters of the Guadalupe River and up Highway 281. Judy Pukansky, a program analyst in the religious support office, led the group in a rotation formation that reduces rider anxiety. The group ended the trip with lunch at the Shadetree Saloon and Grill.
May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, and the Army is focused on reducing injuries and fatalities from motorcycle accidents among military members. Longtime motorcycle rider Ciotola, who encouraged the safety ride, rides his bike to and from work every day but is well aware of the risk and adheres to strict safety measures.
“Motorcycle riding comes down to this: it’s enjoyable, it’s a great pastime and if you let down your guard and lose your situational awareness you’re going to lose every time,” he said, explaining that a motorcycle is no match against even a “suicidal squirrel,” whereas a car simply hits the bump and drives on. “You have to be wrapped up in what you’re doing, conscious of reality and everything going on around you.”
Ciotola said he would like to conduct more rides in the future and that the event fostered camaraderie among the riders that translated from the road to the office.
“I’m proud of everyone that rode today; they subordinated themselves [to the lead rider], looked after everyone and conducted themselves as disciplined participants,” he said.

A detail from the John Nick Pappas installation at the Blue Cross Blue Shield Service Center in downtown Detroit. The 1977 work stretches out over sixty feet and includes thirteen figures in three groupings. The work was recently refurbished and has re-opened to the public.

“When you’re growing up and you realize that you’re different, that can be alienating,” says Karlo Steel. But later, he says, he embraced “my otherness”— by, for example, wearing skirts: “You don’t have to be queer to wear a skirt, but it helps.” His dress is by Rick Owens, the bisexual designer who makes clothes, often gender-bending, for both men and women.

Ernesto Neto installation at Yvon Lambert Gallery May 05. Tensile and foam structures house edible grains and spices to interact with. The name of the show was "Ernesto Neto: There is Nothing Else To Be Seen, But the World." Mark and another art lover have taken off their shoes to enter. The middle of this one had cinnamon that perfumed the interior. Rice held down the structure outside.
This installation in Tate Britain by Lydia Ourahmane is called The Third Choir. Each of the oil drums contains a mobile 'phone playing a sound which resonates inside the drum. (See here)
A member of staff told me that the sign is to protect the public from the sharp edges and dirt rather than to protect the work.

Luminale is a "festival of light" that takes place in Frankfurt and in the urban area every two years since 2000, parallel to the Light + building exhibition at the trade fair. During the festival a lot of public and private-owned buildings are especially illuminated. In 2008, more than 220 light installations could be seen and attracted 100,000 visitors. The next Luminale will be held in April 2012.

OVO – A Multi-Sensory Experience
Odeaubois and ACT Lighting Design created OVO, a multi-sensory art installation made of an ovoid wooden sculpture magnified by light, acoustic and aquatic effects. Through the experience, symbolic and universal associations come to the mind of the visitor such as hatching, blooming and birth.

Installation of lanterns themed display at the Gardens by the Bay for the Mid-Autumn Festival official light-up on 22 September 2017.
Steps to Install: 1) Loosen the two screws at the bottom of the handguard. 2) With a screw driver and a hammer, tap the front handguard lightly so it loosens from the receiver. 3) Slide it off and place the Magpul rails centered on the handguard (I used a 6 inc. + 1 inch piece) 4) Place the AFG on the rails and position it over the handguard. 5) drill in the holes on the two exposed holes (this ensures the AFG is lined up on the two pieces 6) Use a dremel to remove the rib in the center on the other side 7) Add the screws and the nut to secure the rails. 8) Remove the AFG and drill the other two holes. 9) Use Dremel again to allow remove the respective "rib". 10) Add screws and tighten. 11) Position AFG to your liking and tighten. 12) Reinstall handguard (slightly tap it in) and tighten screws
" On Kvalhausen, Eggum, in position 68ª, 18', 30" northern latitude and 13ª, 41', 40" eastern longitude, there is a radar where the electrical aggregates are run by petrol". So is written in an English intelligence report in November 1944. The radar installation was built by the Germans started in 1943 and finished in 1944.
The installation was very important for the Germans to watch the convoys of Murmansk.
To day the place is a popular excursion spot. (Source: Sign on the site.)
"På Kvalhausen, Eggum i posisjon 68ª, 18', 30" nordlig bredde og 13ª, 41', 40" østlig lengde, ligger en radar drevet av bensindrevne, elektriske aggregater". Slik står det skrevet i en engelsk etterretningsrapport fra november 1944.
Radaranlegget ble bygget av tyskerne, påbegynt i 1943 og ferdig i 1944. Anlegget var uhyre viktig for tyskerne for overvåkningen av Murmansk-konvoiene.
I dag er det et populært utfatssted som er kalt Borga. (Kilde: Skilt på stedet.)
In winter 2004 Snøhetta won the concurrent design at Eggum, which is part of the Norwegian Public Roads Administration’s E10 tourist route project through the dramatic and beautiful landscape of Lofoten. The task was to solve the traffic situation around Kvalhausen, which attracts many campervans, cars and a few buses during the midnight sun season. In addition, a service building was to be designed to suit this unique site. The site relates to the open sea as well as the tall mountains.
Snøhetta’s project won with its sensitive approach to the surroundings and its strong focus on preserving and developing the qualities of the surroundings as the main attraction rather than simply creating an architectural attraction.
The project consists of a service building within an amphitheatre which also allows room for car parking. Outside the amphitheatre there are two separate areas with dedicated spaces for campervans. Gabion walls were used throughout the site to define the parking space and to create a unifying effect.
The terrain itself has determined the location of the areas for campervans, parking for cars and the positioning of the service building itself. An existing excavation in the hill has been used to locate the service building and car parking. The campervans have been located in such a way that every parked vehicle will have a view of the sea.
The building itself has two main volumes. A concrete volume fitted into the terrain contains area for toilet facilities and a wooden volume which holds a multi-purpose room with a small kitchen.
Materials used in the project are to a large extend local. All the gabions have been filled with stone from the excavation for the building. Gravel and sand were separated out and used as back fill. This corresponds well with the ruins of the radar station above which have walls also built of morainic stone. The wooden volume is clad both inside and outside with thick planking of driftwood gathered from a beach a few hundred metres from the building. The same applies to the roof. The planks vary in width and are untreated so as to achieve a natural patina. The interior floor of the multi purpose room is of polished and oiled concrete. The emphasis has been on using rough, natural materials through consistent detailing. (Source: www.landezine.com)
