Niets is wat het lijkt in Angela Bullochs werk. Haar solotentoonstelling SHORT BIG DRAMA in Witte de With, Center for Contemporary Art speelt met de bedrieglijke eenvoud van haar werk en benadrukt Bullochs theatraliteit. Met de nadruk op drie soorten kunstwerken – monumentale muurschilderingen, kleurrijke pixel-installaties en interactieve tekenmachines – toont SHORT BIG DRAMA een combinatie van bestaande en speciaal in opdracht gemaakte werken.
There is more than meets the eye to Angela Bulloch’s work. Her solo exhibition SHORT BIG DRAMA at Witte de With, Center for Contemporary Art plays with this red herring – the illusion of simplicity – and highlights the theatricality of Bulloch’s practice. Focusing on three types of works – namely her monumental wall paintings, colorful pixel installations and interactive drawing machines – SHORT BIG DRAMA presents a selection of existing works together with specially commissioned new pieces.

Biomedical research towards the prevention and treatment of HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, and other major global health challenges remains our long-term hope for bringing these epidemics to an end. Understanding when new technologies are likely to emerge from the research and development pipeline, and how they might impact ongoing efforts, is vital to ensuring their rapid uptake and integration.
Please join us for a discussion on the status of HIV vaccines and how the U.S. will need to change its response to the global epidemic. Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), will deliver the keynote address. Afterwards, Dr. Fauci will join a distinguished panel with Mr. Mitchell Warren, Executive Director of AVAC, a New York-based advocacy group focused on HIV prevention, and Ms. Margie McGlynn, President and CEO of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI), a product development partnership focused on facilitating discovery of a safe, effective HIV vaccine. Mr. Todd Summers, Senior Advisor at the CSIS Global Health Policy Center, will moderate.
Refreshments will be served after the event closes.

Spread of Corona Virus How COVID-19 Spreads ? Current understanding about how the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads is largely based on what is known about similar coronaviruses. Person-to-person spread The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person. Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) Via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Spread from contact with infected surfaces or objects It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. When does spread happen? People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest). Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this with this new coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. How efficiently does the virus spread? How easily a virus spreads from person-to-person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious (like measles), while other viruses are less so. Another factor is whether the spread continues over multiple generations of people (if spread is sustained). The virus that causes COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in Hubei province and other parts of China. In the United States, spread from person-to-person has occurred only among a few close contacts and has not spread any further to date. ift.tt/3aThMi2 / CC BY-SA (ift.tt/1rWN0uR) If you like our videos please do not forget to like, comment, subscribe to the channel.

Early Christians inherited Jewish understandings of angels, which in turn may have been partly inherited from the Egyptians. In the early stage, the Christian concept of an angel characterized the angel as a messenger of God. Angels are creatures of good, spirits of love, and messengers of the savior Jesus Christ.Later came identification of individual angelic messengers: Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel, and Satan/Lucifer. Then, in the space of little more than two centuries (from the third to the fifth) the image of angels took on definite characteristics both in theology and in art.

Understanding the Importance of Krebs /TCA Cycle in Our Bodies
IIn 1953, a British scientist, Professor Hans Adolf Krebs won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine with his discovery that is now called the Krebs Cycle Theory.
The Krebs cycle (TCA Cycle or Citric Acid Cycle) is our body's energy production house and it makes the majority of energy in our body to keep us alive. It is essential and without it we would not exist.
According to Krebs theory, the starch and sugar in the food we eat is converted into glucose, the fats are converted into fatty acids, and the protein in meat and beans is converted into more than 20 types of amino acids. All these nutrients must be combined with acetic acid (from vinegar) before they can enter the citric acid cycle. In this citric acid cycle, these nutrients are converted into energy (adenosine triphosphate, ATP) that can be utilised by the body. During the conversion process, the food is continuously converted into citric acid, which is then converted into cis-Acotinate, isocitrate, a -ketoglutarate, succinate, fumarate, malate and oxaloacetate. The cycle repeats itself when the acids are converted back to citric acid.
Maintaining this Krebs Cycle is very important, but the cycle cannot function properly if the body is tired or restricted by an improper diet. When the nutrients are not fully synthesised, the incomplete combustion residue will be converted into pyruvate, which will break down into lactic acid when exposed to hydrogen ion. The accumulation of lactic acid in the body results in muscle aches, pain in the nerves and lethargy. The accumulation of lactic acid in the blood stream results in an acidic body.
Boost Your Kreb's Cycle!
The great news is, if you have a sluggish Krebs Cycle, you can now bring your health back on the right track by improving your Krebs Cycle by using a good energy accessory and supplementing with these natural herbal supplements:

Understanding Counter-Jihad Extremism: The Case of the English Defence League, 7 March 2013 cht.hm/12wyAWD
Living in Transit: The Thinkers of a World in Turmoil
War looms over Europe, uncertainty seeps into everyday life, and the weight of history presses upon the present. The world is burning, and yet—there are those who seek understanding, those who bury themselves in the quiet refuge of books, the dim glow of libraries, the solitude of knowledge.
This series captures the introspective minds of young academic women—readers, thinkers, seekers. They wander through old university halls, their fingers tracing the spines of forgotten books, pulling out volumes of poetry, philosophy, and psychology. They drink coffee, they drink tea, they stay up late with ink-stained fingers, trying to decipher the world through words.
They turn to Simone Weil for moral clarity, Hannah Arendt for political insight, Rilke for existential wisdom. They read Baudrillard to untangle the illusions of modernity, Byung-Chul Han to understand society’s exhaustion, Camus to grasp the absurdity of it all. They devour Celan’s poetry, searching for beauty in catastrophe.
But they do not just read—they reflect, they question, they write. Their world is one of quiet resistance, an intellectual sanctuary amidst the chaos. In their solitude, they are not alone. Across time, across history, across the pages they turn, they are in conversation with those who, too, have sought meaning in troubled times.
This is a series about thought in transit—about seeking, reading, questioning, about the relentless pursuit of knowledge when the world feels on the brink.
Where the Thinkers Go
They gather where the dust has settled,
where books whisper in the hush of halls.
Pages thin as breath, torn at the edges,
cradling centuries of questions.
They drink coffee like it’s ink,
trace words like constellations,
follow Rilke into the dusk,
where solitude hums softly in the dark.
Outside, the world is fraying—
war threading through the seams of cities,
the weight of history pressing forward.
Inside, they turn pages, searching
for answers, for solace, for fire.
And somewhere between the lines,
between time-stained margins and fading ink,
they find the ghosts of others who
once sought, once wondered, once read—
and they do not feel alone.
Three Haikus
Night falls on paper,
books stacked like silent towers,
thoughts burn in the dark.
Tea cools in the cup,
a poem lingers on lips,
war rumbles beyond.
Footsteps in silence,
the scent of old ink and dust,
pages turn like ghosts.
ooOOOoo
Reading as Resistance
These young women do not read passively. They underline, they take notes, they write in the margins. They challenge the texts and themselves. They read because the world demands it of them—because, in a time of conflict and uncertainty, thought itself is an act of resistance.
Their books are worn, their pages stained with coffee, their minds alive with the urgency of understanding.
1. Political Thought, Society & Liberation
Essays, theory and critique on democracy, power and resistance.
Chantal Mouffe – For a Left Populism (rethinking democracy through radical left-wing populism)

Benjamín Labatut – When We Cease to Understand the World (a deeply philosophical novel on science, war, and moral responsibility)
Michel Houellebecq – Submission (controversial but widely read as a dystopian critique of political passivity in Europe)
4. Ecology, Anti-Capitalism & Posthumanism
Texts that explore the intersections of nature, economics, and radical change.
Bruno Latour – Down to Earth: Politics in the New Climatic Regime (rethinking ecology and politics in a world of climate crisis)
Andreas Malm – How to Blow Up a Pipeline (on the ethics of radical environmental resistance)
Emanuele Coccia – The Life of Plants: A Metaphysics of Mixture (rethinking human and non-human coexistence)
Isabelle Stengers – Another Science is Possible (rethinking knowledge and resistance in an era of corporate science)
Kate Raworth – Doughnut Economics (rethinking economic models for social and ecological justice)
Donna Haraway – Staying with the Trouble (rethinking coexistence and posthumanist futures)
The Future of Thought
These are not just books; they are weapons, tools, compasses. These women read not for escapism, but for resistance. In a time of political upheaval, climate catastrophe, and rising authoritarianism, they seek alternative visions, radical possibilities, and new ways of imagining the world.
Their books are annotated, their margins filled with questions, their reading lists always expanding. Knowledge is not just power—it is revolution.
Быть может я вам всем сейчас скажу,
Секрет,
Но не уверен я и в этом,
Но все же, раз об этом я пишу,
Скажу,
И буду без сoмненья прав,
Хоть до сих пор я не уверен,
Но к черту жалкий серый страх!
А может лучше промолчать?
Тогда, раз уж никто и не узнает,
Спокойней будет мне,
И вам,
И дальше буду я в себе держать,
А снег и дальше таять..
Но белый, потом серый, снег
Растает в летнем свете,
А мой секрет
Всю жизнь и будет мукой мне.
Я лишь хотел сказать вам этим,
Что лучше полоснуть чистейшей правдой по глазам,
Чем лить вкуснейшую неправду.
И словно бабочка крылом
Твои слова из чистой правды
Застряли в сердце топором,
А я забыл сказать о главном…
Я не могу так поступать как ты,
Я не могу так сухо молвить факты,
Ведь раньше в сердце был лишь белый свет,
Оставленный твоими черными глазами,
Сейчас там лишь топор,
Оставленный твоими нежными руками.
Я вам скажу, секретов нет,
Мою любовь втоптали в пыль ногами.

I've been reading Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson and playing with depth of field today.
Made Explore on March 26th, 2008 (dropped)
Seekers of Understanding make pilgrimages to sites that hold special meaning for them. This is true for those observing the urgings of their religion, those hoping for a miraculous cure, brain-dead Elvis fans that visit Graceland in hopes of communicating with The King, and people who want to reach a higher plane of existence. I fall into the last category.
The plateau of sandstone fins above Negro Bill Canyon is a sacred place where I can seek Oneness with the rock in an attempt to express my submission to the Great Wonder. On my early 2007 trip to Moab I was called once again to this temple of nature. But this visit was special in that it exposed me to something I thought I would never see in my physical lifetime: an aura center. As I wandered through the fins I became attracted by an unseen force; that force led me to this spot atop a huge sandstone fin.
Those In The know will instantly realize that this is an aura center, a rare place subject to intermittent beaming of sandstone auras into the Magnificent Ether. Sandstone is unique in that it beams auras without provocation, but it does so in very few places. The process of beaming releases energy at the rock-air interface, causing microscopic erosion of the sandstone surface. Over eons, this produces depressions in the rock called aura cavities. Every cavity represents a unique beaming event. (WARNING: Drinking rainwater found in an aura cavity water will cause a change to your physical shell that your spouse or significant other will not appreciate.)
My prone position was an attempt to maximize my chances of channeling some of the aura through my body. By doing so I hoped to transform myself from a somewhat wordy person to one who speaks or writes with a reasonable level of output, and thereby perhaps wins an award for conciseness.
Capturing the beam of sandstone aura is a daunting task of chance, akin to trying to cross the Pacific Ocean on a raft made of water-soluble reeds. I was unsuccessful with the channeling (was my hat's chin strap at fault?). Brevity still eludes me.
To fulfill his support role here, Joe Tripod straddled four aura cavities but did not stand in any of them.
Another hike exposed me to the largest aura cavity on record.
