Programa Mais Médicos, Estado do Pará, Ilha do Marajó cidade de Breves, Brasil.
O principal objetivo do programa “Mais Médicos” é reduzir as desigualdades de saúde ampliando o “Programa Saúde da Família” reduzindo as disparidades no acesso a serviços de saúde de qualidade que continuam atingindo grande parte da população brasileira. O Programa é congruente com o plano Nacional de Desenvolvimento do Brasil 2022 o que vai acelerar os avanços nas realizações das metas dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento do Milênio da Nações Unidas.
Até o momento o Programa Mais Médicos conta com 14,168 médicos, do qual 11,429 são administrados pela OPAS. Os médicos que participam do programa trabalham em 3,785 municípios e 34 comunidades indígenas. O programa Mais Médicos atende a uma população de mais de 48.6 milhões de brasileiros e conta com uma cobertura de 100% de todos os municípios que se aplicaram para o programa.
BFC is a program of the International Labour Organization that supports Cambodia’s garment industry through monitoring, training, and advocacy. BFC was established in 2001 as a result of a trade agreement between Cambodia and the United States that provided better access to U.S. markets in exchange for improved labor conditions in factories.
Ambassador Heidt said the results of the BFC's work can be seen in the strength of Cambodia's garment sector, which now boasts 700 factories, 700,000 workers, and $6 billion in annual exports. “I don’t think we would have gotten there without the BFC,” he said in remarks at the Sofitel Hotel in Phnom Penh.

I actually didn't start my diet and exercise until June 19th so this is roughly one month's progress.
Okay, our kid's summer program (similar to VBS...) "So you think you got skillz?"
Just a rough first idea... the range of kids targeted will be 5 - 12.
Looking for feedback, suggestions, etc...
thanks

Shawn Panepinto is a Boston area artist who recently retired as Director of Operations for The Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard University. She graduated from Ridgewood College of Art in 1972, and graduated from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in 1978. She has taught at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, the Massachusetts Prison Art Program, The Radcliffe Pottery Studio, and was an instructor at the Ceramics Program Office for the Arts at Harvard for nearly 40 years. She was Director of Operations, Acting Director, and Program Coordinator for The Ceramics Program, and Assistant to the Director at The Radcliffe Pottery Studio. She was the recipient of a Radcliffe Exemplary Service Award, and a recipient of the Harvard Deans Distinction Award. Perhaps her most significant achievement was overseeing the Ceramics Program studio’s move from its basement location, and the new construction of its current location at 224 Western Ave in Allston, MA.
Shows and exhibitions include “”Five on Fire” at the Art Complex Museum, “A Class Act” at The Fuller Craft Museum, group show at Buckingham, Brown, and Nichols, co-curation of “The Art of Reuse, Renew, Recycle” at the Cabot Science Library at Harvard, ”Art Encounters Preservation” at Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion in Portsmouth, NH, “Home Team” at Gallery 224, “Selected Works” at Gallery 224, and “The State of Clay: Pushing Boundaries” at The Fuller Craft Museum.
Shawn’s new work in painting, collage and decollage is the evolution of her work in clay, and maintains her playfulness and sensitivity to color, form and rhythm.
Artist Statement
Old Dog. New Tricks.
After working for 40 years at the Harvard Ceramics Program, I wanted to experience the freedom of my newly acquired time in retirement within the smaller space of a home studio. The opportunity to create work for this show provided me with the inspiration to search for and explore new media and new techniques.
Abstraction, color, humor, and texture have always been important in my art. By replacing brushes with my ceramic tools, using a cold wax medium with newly discovered water- soluble oil paints, string, sculpting plaster, thick gesso, wax paper, tissue paper, watercolor and collage paper (printed and hand-painted), it was possible to bring a tactile dimension to my 2-D work. By layering the paint, sanding, scratching, and mark making, I was able to build depth. The result is a visible history of the layers below the surface.
When the pandemic hit, the dates for the show were put on hold. Like so many others during this time, I lost the incentive to work. So when I got a call to discuss possible dates for the show, I was re-energized by the feeling that the show was becoming a reality. My use of collage as an element led me to explore decollage, which involves the tearing away and restructuring of paper elements from collage. Now I could stretch out my ideas even farther. Some of the decollage pieces in this show feature my own ceramic work (some of which is also on display) as well as some items that are personal and some that are universal.
During the process of preparing for this exhibition, I learned to fly blind and trust my intuition and experience. I learned to accept my physical limitations and that any mistake can be turned into a new direction. I became fearless and, most importantly, stopped worrying that a piece had to be perfect.
I hope you enjoy some of these “new tricks” from an “old dog”.

SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM FIXED BASE GUIDANCE AND NAVIGATION SIMULATOR
One of only three advanced space shuttle orbiter simulators used to train NASA astronauts.
The fixed-base Guidance and Navigation Simulator (GNS) represents one of only three simulators once used to train astronauts for the Space Shuttle Program at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Along with the motion-base Shuttle Mission Simulator (SMS) and the Fixed-Base Simulator (FBS), these complex machines were used to create a series of various mission tasks ranging from full mission rehearsals down to recreating specific exercises such as atmosphere entry or launching satellites.
Predating the SMS and FBS, the GNS was built in the late 1970s and operational by 1982. Initially it was primarily used only to test and verify guidance and navigation software that would later be installed in the SMS, FBS, and orbiters. As such it originally did not have visual computer-generated windscreen displays and much of the interior was unfinished, though it did contain the same complex array of cockpit instrumentation, controls, and computer displays operated by five distinct general-purpose computers (GPC) present in actual orbiters.
Following the Challenger accident investigation, the Rogers Commission suggested that NASA invest in additional crew training simulators to provide increased and expanded training and to handle the higher frequency of missions. However, the cost of providing an additional SMS or FBS proved too expensive, so NASA elected to upgrade the GNS into a full fixed-base crew simulator that was essentially identical to the FBS.
The upgraded GNS flight deck was enhanced to provide a more realistic appearance and a full visual computer-generated imagery system for the six forward facing windscreens. Computer-generated imagery (CGI) was a new science in the early 1980s and all the simulators used a first-generation CGI system, rudimentary by today's standards.
For 20 years the upgraded GNS was used interchangeably with the FBS and it is likely that every post-Challenger crew spent time in the GNS practicing launch, ascent, orbit, re-entry, and landing procedures.
With the end of the Space Shuttle Program, the GNS was retired in 2011. In late 2020 the GNS was used on the set of a science fiction movie due to be released in late 2021 [not sure why they’re being cryptic, its Roland Emmerich’s Moonfall]. The filmmakers modified the simulator's external appearance, making the GNS more closely resemble the outer surface of an actual orbiter, along with internal cabin modifications. Following movie shooting, the GNS flight deck was donated to the Pima Air & Space Museum in early 2021.
The 2015 Youth and Mentors Film Program was a filmmaking workshop that brought together youth and the people they look up to in their community. They collaborated to produce these powerful short films, and were featured in a short documentary. The program was made possible with the support of the Peel Regional Police, The Journey Neighbourhood Centre, and the Province of Ontario.

I came home one day to find a Christmas package from a good friend sitting in my bedroom. Inside there were so many Sailormoon goodies. This is the program booklet from a SeraMyu. It included an autographed card!
