Understanding population dynamics is critical to avoiding static perceptions of human and environmental vulnerability. Changes that affect the size, distribution, and composition of human populations also affect both the nature of vulnerability and adjustments in natural or human systems in response to environmental change.
‘The Demography of Adaptation to Climate Change,’ a new edited volume from the United Nations Population Fund, International Institute for Environment and Development, and El Colegio de Mexico explores these themes. Three of the book’s contributors share perspectives on the importance of population dynamics for adaptation, ways to use available population and census data in assessing vulnerability and resilience, and the application of these approaches for urban vulnerability and adaptation in Malawi and Indonesia.

When you are in something so deep, you don't always see the big picture. Your reality is what you have convinced yourself it to be. There is no reason, objectivity or sincere unbiased thoughts on the matter. You get so comfortable in the illusion that you have created, that truth escapes you. It takes almost an out of body experience to give you the untainted sight required to truly see clearly. Pain will push you to that scenic view. Relentless pain that shocks your soul. That is what lifts you above and beyond petty details and insignificant words. That moment when you see a situation for it's entirety and no language can adequately explain your epiphany. Your mind knows that it can not be translated; your heart feels the nourishment; your soul is content. Now you can move on.
Thank you again for the talents and global spirit you have shared with students in Iowa and the USA! ('11-'12 Exchange Program) Altoona Herald gallery - cool pics

The conference focused on Peter Eisenman's long and outstanding oeuvre. Around 50 years of his theoretical and educational work and almost 25 years of his full-time architectural practice has been seen here as vital to the understanding of both the past and the presence of contemporary architecture. From the questions related to Renaissance heritage to the problems associated with disciplinary autonomy and the digital, the conference had aimed to provide a space for a critical debate among architects and theorists.
Built upon our previous experiences with the Architecture of Deconstruction / The Specter of Jacques Derrida, this conference provided a new and challenging form of interaction. It disconnected from the standard model for the scientific gatherings -- session presentations followed by short discussion between participants. Conference was organized in the several sessions, i.e. thematic conversations with Peter Eisenman, regarding his work. Participants were encouraged to provide rich and diverse readings on a number of subjects: to share their insights with Eisenman and with each other.

So, I just want some snow to brighten my day.
Dear God.
Global warming is for real.
But there are things that are beyond my understanding.
Can you please explain why it's so cold in here?
I know, I know, you're so busy trying to fix the world, the economy, the highways,
the problems caused by the Republicans,
don't you worry, I'm not going to bother you.
Not today, maybe tomorrow.
Bye now, good night.

move away from fear and into love...
moving into love requires opening the heart...
opening the heart can make one fearful, vulnerable...
realize that while it is your path to walk, others walk beside you...
that you are not alone...
as the fear washes over you, shed your tears, then let it pass...
turn about, bid it farewell
and embrace the understanding that remains...
'peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.'

In the Fortaleza in Cascais there was an art exhibition throughout the complex. Most of the exhibits were sculptures but this painting on the wall was the exception. I congratulate the artist as after 50 years of marriage I cannot claim to understand even one woman:-)
Before understanding the treatment for bed bugs, you need to understand what bed bugs are? Ideally, bed bugs are small insects that don't grow much in size. It would be best if you got Michigan bed bug chemical treatment because these tiny annoying creatures create havoc to humans and their sleep cycles.

A Deeper Understanding
The book was
Always with
Her
She brought it
From her country
Whenever I asked
About it
She quickly changed
The subject
One day she told me
About a man
Who had waited
Ten years
For her to return
With tears in her eyes
She said "Mica, I think
That is true love"
I shall always remember
Keyong
And wonder
About the book
