Whatever your Perceptions are of the German Personality they are often Considered to be: Hardworking, Humorous, Punctual, Traditional, as traditions are important to Germans, Creative, as Germans are well known for their abilities to create new things. You may see a small sensor that is designed to detect rainwater on the windscreen of your car which automatically switches the wiper on. German people have been stereotyped at times for being cold, rude and even humorless. These rather negative perceptions may be going a little too far when generalizing about German people and their attributes. For more visit: goo.gl/ECv3hY
Wyatt, the black GSD, has a strange attraction towards Ouzo. Every time he sees him, he runs and begs Ouzo to play with him, the only way he knows, by slapping my dog with his paws :) Ouzo tries his best to ignore him, but I believe Wyatt's just not capable of reading subtle signals.
So last Saturday, when this was taken, Ouzo finally had enough of Wyatt and discovered he has teeth that he can show and growl at the young admirer. Unfortunately that didn't make too much of a difference either - maybe gave Wyatt a bit more respect for Ouzo, but he continued to seek his approval and share his affection.
Here he's sniffing (and not sure if not licking) Ouzo's mouth, while my dog just wishes the black dog would freaking go away at leave him alone to play with his frisbee :)

Knowledge exchanges between social innovators: visit to The Toucan’s Song, Vaupes, Colombia
Intercambio de saberes entre innovadores sociales: visita a El Canto del Tucán, Vaupés, Colombia.
Leaders from three social innovations recognized by the Social Innovation in Health Initiative (SIHI) recently gathered in Mitú, Colombia to exchange ideas and learn from El Canto del Tucán (The Toucan's Song), which was recognized as a social innovation in 2021 for its role in improving public health and the delivery of equitable health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The meeting was also an opportunity for cross-fertilization of ideas between El Canto Del Tucán, Mamás del Río, and Niños del Zika, which were all recognized by SIHI in 2019.
El Canto del Tucán achieved its goals by training young members of indigenous communities to become health communicators who could deliver valid and relevant health information to their communities using radio and other media. This innovative program has been successful in covering a vast area of Colombia’s Amazonic region, reaching communities in ten indigenous languages. By promoting local ownership and participation, El Canto del Tucán has empowered indigenous communities to take an active role in their own health and well-being.
Mamás del Río and Niños del Zika, which were also recognized by SIHI in 2019, have also been successful in promoting health and well-being in their respective communities. Mamás del Río is a community-based maternal and child health program that has improved access to healthcare for women and children in the Peruvian (and now also Colombian) Amazonic Region, supporting Community Health Workers. Niños del Zika, on the other hand, is a social innovation that was developed in response to the Zika virus outbreak in Colombia. The program led to beneficial policy changes in Colombia and focused on providing support and care to the families of those children affected by the virus while unborn.
The Social Innovation in Health Initiative (SIHI) is a global network of innovators, policymakers, and researchers who are committed to promoting social innovations that improve health and well-being for all. To learn more about SIHI and the innovative programs it has recognized, including Mamás del Río and Niños del Zika, please visit their website at socialinnovationinhealth.org/resources/cases-country-prof....

Wacipi means "they all dance" in the Dakota language. Dance has always been an important part of the Dakota ancestors' ceremonial practices. The Wacipi is a celebration of life - gathering together for a cultural and social celebration of dancing, singing and visiting. This is a time to meet old friends, make new ones, and honor those who have come before them. A time to gather, share, reflect and thank the Creator.

Luang Prabang (ຫລວງພະບາງ in Laotian or Louang Phabang), commonly transliterated into Western languages from the pre-1975 Lao spelling ຫຼວງພຣະບາງ literally meaning "Royal Buddha Image," is a city in north central Laos, consisting of 58 adjacent villages, of which 33 comprise the UNESCO Town Of Luang Prabang World Heritage Site. It was listed in 1995 for unique and "remarkably" well preserved architectural, religious and cultural heritage, a blend of the rural and urban developments over several centuries, including the French colonial influences during the 19th and 20th centuries.
The center of the city consists of four main roads and is located on a peninsula at the confluence of the Nam Khan and Mekong rivers. Luang Prabang is well known for its numerous Buddhist temples and monasteries. Every morning, hundreds of monks from the various monasteries walk through the streets collecting alms. One of the city's major landmarks is Mount Phou Si, a large steep hill which despite the constrained scale of the city, is 150 meters (490 feet) high, a steep staircase leads to Wat Chom Si shrine and an overlook of the city and the rivers.
The city was formerly the capital of a kingdom of the same name. It had also been known by the ancient name of Chiang Thong. It was the royal capital and seat of government of the Kingdom of Laos, until the Pathet Lao takeover in 1975. The city is part of Luang Prabang District of Luang Prabang Province and is the capital and administrative center of the province. It lies approximately 300 kilometers (190 miles) north of the capital Vientiane. Currently, the population of the city as a whole is roughly 56,000 inhabitants with the UNESCO protected site being inhabited by around 24,000.
