This is a data transmitter that is fitted to young bearded vultures to track their movements and supply data to a working group trying to learn more about the fate of young vultures. At around 2 - 3 years old they have a high mortality rate, understanding why is critical to ensuring the survival of the species.
She is Sialor Moon.The heroine of the series Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. Usagi is a carefree young girl with an enormous capacity for love, compassion, and understanding. But one day, when the Queen Beryl menaces the planet Earth, discovers a talking cat named Luna, Usagi transforms into the heroine called Sailor Moon, Soldier of Love and Justice. And now, Usagi must now find the Moon Princess and protect Earth from a series of antagonists, beginning with the Dark Kingdom that had appeared once before, long ago, and destroyed the Kingdom of the Moon.
When the dark nemesis attacked the kingdom, the Queen sent the Moon Princess, her guardians, advisors, and her true love into the future to be reborn. As a result, Sailor Moon must help Luna awaken members of the court of the Kingdom of the Moon, and the people dedicated to protecting it. As Usagi and Luna battle evil and search for the Moon Princess, they meet the other Sailor Senshi, incarnations of the Moon Princess' protectors, and the mysterious Tuxedo Mask.At the beginning of the series, she is fourteen years old and portrayed as an immature crybaby who hates having to fight evil and wants nothing more than to be a normal girl. As she progresses, however, she embraces the chance to use her power to protect those she cares about.

Juba, 29 June 2022: Today, UNMISS and the Joint Verification Monitoring Mechanism (JVMM) held workshop in Juba, which intended to develop a mutual understanding of the challenges faced by both entities and identify measures to enhance cooperation. The workshop's aim was to deliberate on the jointly approved Guidelines for Operational level Coordination of Movement for UNMISS, including ensuring freedom of movement at the local level and to identify further areas for co-operation.
This workshop is a continuation of the first UNMISS-JVMM forum conducted in July last year. The previous workshop helped to establish a positive environment and provided a platform for significant interaction between UNMISS and JVMM to develop a mutual understanding of the challenges faced by both sides and identify measures to enhance cooperation towards achieving peace and stability.

Additionally, we are posting images of submitted artwork & their stories on our Website, Flickr, and Facebook.The Dream Rocket project uses the Saturn V Moon Rocket as a symbolism of universal values of the human spirit. Optimism, hope,
caring for our natural resources, scientific exploration, and harnessing technological advancements for a better quality of life while safeguarding our communities, are all common desires across national and international boundaries. Participants are able to express and learn about these values through this creative collaboration.

“The Saturn V is the ideal icon to represent a big dream. This rocket was designed and built as a collaboration of nearly half-a-million people and allowed our human species to venture beyond our world and stand on ANOTHER - SURELY one of the biggest dreams of all time. ENABLING THE DREAMS of young people to touch this mighty rocket sends a powerful message in conjunction with creating an educational curriculum to engage students to embrace the power of learning through many important subjects”

My wife and I are both grateful for the opportunity for Great_grandpa (Pa-Pa) and our grandson, Johnathan, to have time to bond. This picture will always be precious to us as they share their understanding of the love of ice cream.
They only live 45 minutes apart and see each other frequently, but we (grandparents) live 1000 miles away from them both. When we visit on our vacations, it is such a pleasure to complete the four generations.

'The Invisible Man-the stranger' is the supplementary reader in English literature for class XII. The novel consists of a series of events and characters, students can find it difficult to remember every bit of it perfectly. With video lessons by Extramarks students can understand the plots and characters of the novel better. The video lessons also help students retain the details about the novel for a longer period of time.
Based on the information collected during my ethnographic work focusing my attention on the everyday understandings of dengue fever, and paying particular attention to the different ways in which the subjects that have had dengue described the experience of being unwell, I decided to re-work (collaboratively) all the information gathered so far, to create elements that reflect the ideas of how dengue fever is understood in various different contexts.
Promoters of public health have not taken into consideration the points of view of the patients or those who have had the disease. They design campaigns based on an entomological and clinical point of view, following a standard template where you see health staff –dressed in laboratory coats– talking about environmental hygiene and the purposes of sanitation. In addition, humour doesn’t play a role in the design of the campaigns.
In order to collaboratively create an intervention that reproduces the way Luis Fernando and Sara experienced the disease (you can find information about the ways in which they described the experience of being unwell by accessing my PhD blog: www.anthropologyartscience.blogspot.com), we asked Alejandro Uribe, Sarita Álvarez and Juan Camilo Ortega for their help. They are part of Bimana, a collective of artist that creates a variety of large-scale interventions and performances combining a solar balloon, plastic bags, kites, makeup, prosthetics design, and special effects. The idea was to create a fictional character, or a comic anti-hero, that would appear in the public space of the city, creating an active dialogue with different peoples.
Acknowledgments:
I am extremely grateful with the subjects of this ethnography Sara and Luis Fernando. Special thanks to the ‘Bimana Producciones’ team (Alejandro Uribe, Sarita Álvarez and Juan Camilo Ortega), the kite-flyer Andrés Ramírez and the actor Emilio Arango. I would also like to thank the rest of the people that helped during the public experiment: Pablo López, Lucía Tobón, Sara Ibarra, Susana Valencia, Hernán Marín, Mario Valencia, and Gustavo Ramírez.

It was a magical day at the facility. Many yearlings came close, they were very curious and brave today! Earlier there was a hail storm. They all got supercharged from it, and many danced and played afterward. Their coats were shining from the rain. They are all so beautiful. <3
My heart skips a beat looking at this image and remembering the magic of these precious moments with them. They are healing spirits full of sensitivity. How anyone could ever hurt them, is unthinkable and beyond understanding.
