Why harmonious relationships are not all about agreement and what they really are all about
Differences of opinion don’t need to be problems, if you follow this guideline
In relationships, understanding—not agreement—is the key.
In employing the word understanding here, I’m not referring to...

The Dream Rocket project would like to challenge you to ‘Dare to Dream’. To dream about your future and the future of our world through dream themes such as health, community, conservation, science, technology, space, peace, and so on. We would like you to use your selected Dream Theme to express, explore, and create your vision on your section of the wrap. We hope that you are able to express and learn through this creative collaboration. With the completion of each artwork, you are asked to write a brief essay explaining your artwork, and the dream theme in which you chose.
“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”
-Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium, New York

My understanding is that residents of Boston and Cambridge who can trace their ancestry back to the original puritan settlers are a kind of American aristocracy. Samuel Bridge seemed to be of that opinion. ‘Being of the sixth generation of Bridges’ he had this monument erected in honour of his ancestor John Bridge in 1882. The plaque says ‘John Bridge left Braintree, Essex County, England in 1631 as a member of Reverend Mr. Hooker's Company, settling here in 1632 and staying when the company moved to Connecticut. He became the supervisor of the first public school established in Cambridge in 1635, served as deacon of the church from 1636-1658, as a representative to the Great and General Court from 1637-1641, and was appointed by that body to lay out lands in this town and beyond.’

The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and Special Olympics today signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at increasing access to quality health care for people with intellectual disabilities.
Under the agreement, the organizations will collaborate to train health workers, educate policymakers, create partnerships, disseminate information, and mobilize some 365,000 athletes and partners in the Special Olympics movement in Latin America.
PAHO/WHO Director Dr. Carissa F. Etienne said “By making health care more inclusive for people with intellectual disabilities in the Americas, this collaboration with Special Olympics will reduce inequalities in health systems throughout the region. To achieve universal health coverage, PAHO must collaborate with health authorities, specialized agencies, academic institutions, the private sector, and civil society organizations to provide better health care for people with these disabilities.”
Special Olympics Chairman of the Board Timothy P. Shriver, PhD, said “The structural barriers, stigma, and outright discrimination people with intellectual disabilities ID face to access health care services is unacceptable. Collaborating with PAHO/WHO will break down barriers to health care for the most marginalized people in the Americas. This collaboration between PAHO/WHO and Special Olympics will make health truly inclusive for people with ID, and will bring this historically marginalized population into health systems designed to serve them.”
The memorandum of understanding signed by Dr. Shriver and Dr. Etienne sets objectives that focus on strengthening health systems to serve all people with ID, including athletes competing at Special Olympics events, and includes a specific objective to promote the participation and empowerment of people with ID to become self-advocates and leaders in this regional movement. This partnership will directly support PAHO’s Action Plan on Disabilities and Rehabilitation, which aims to improve access to health services for people with disabilities.
More than one billion people in the world live with some form of disability, according to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) 2011 World Report on Disability. Some 30 countries of the Americas have ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which affirms that all persons with all types of disabilities must enjoy all human rights and fundamental freedoms.
However, people with ID still face enormous stigma, discrimination, and exclusion, and they are often an invisible population whose worth is unknown to governments, influencers, and society at large. Despite severe need and higher health risks, people with ID are often denied basic health care and services and are frequently among the most vulnerable populations in any country.

UNDERSTANDING ISLAM… A campaign that was launched by Serving Islam Team (HK) in 2010 in which we invite world renowned scholars to Hong Kong so that they can deliver a series of lectures to Muslims & non-Muslims. The aim is to raise awareness about Islam & Muslims so we can know one another & live together in peace & harmony, & also to clarify many of the misconceptions that people have about Islam. In 2010 we invited Sheikh Yusuf Estes & Dr. Muhammad Salah, 2011 we invited Br Fadel Soliman------فاضل سليمان , in 2012 we’re inviting Dr. Dr. Bilal Philips & Shaykh Hussain Yee, so are you in? BOOK, SHARE & LIKE if you agree to the cause.

The understanding, creation and enhancement of SPACE is in the fore front for me as a Landscape Designer. Being from the Midwest the Prairie Style has always influenced my design sensibilities. For all of the times I traveled in, through and around Chicago, including spending time in Oak Park, I don't have a good reason why I never visited Wright's Robie House before. Except that it wasn't meant to be... I wasn't ready to receive the understanding it had to offer (there, know you know I'm a real designer). That changed late October 2011 on a most glorious fall day. I was ready. I received. Enjoy this large photo set (it's only a fraction of images from the day) and gain a little insight into Wright's work. Warm wishes & best regards, Glenn!

If you set a goal only to meet it and never exceed it, was it really a goal at all? Understanding the difference between the mind of the complacent and the mind of the entrepreneur is critical to self-acceleration and to identifying, within others, that rare talent gene called entrepreneur.
== www.jeffreymagee.com/lp/ ==
The entrepreneurial spirit and energy is at the root of any success and innovation. With USA Today and Gallup research revealing that as much as 71% of society, at any given time, is looking to perform the minimal of work product possible, while expecting the maximum of performance pay, it is no wonder that the entrepreneur has become the rarest among species!
So what does the mind of the solo entrepreneur reveal? More can do with constructive stimulant references as opposed to negative and can’t impressions. It reveals the catalyst to wonderment, innovation (not imitation), advancement, and capital market generation. It shows a methodical Mental DNA blueprint to creation and a GPS for advancement. It also reveals, in many situations, a keen understanding of their lack of business acumen and therefore a continuing need for the businessmanag ement talent acquisition. The Mental DNA has a mystical axis, weighted disproportionality as an entrepreneurial AmeriCAN as opposed to the USATODAY/Gallup research of the newly shaped AmeriCANT.
So, what are some of the Mental DNA characteristics of an entrepreneur mind?
Creative approaches to the obvious, which reveal alternate pathways to and beyond a goal.
Results oriented responsiveness to market needs, demands, and foresight to needs yet revealed.
Attitude of victory, champion of optimism, and a self-belief that radiates out and becomes contagious to others to want to associate with calling and cause. This Attitude makes it possible to continuously drive for gains in Aptitude to unleash their solo entrepreneurial abilities, where others remain mystified. Zest for the unknown and a belief in possibilities, a sense of urgency to leverage, capitalize and execute ROI. Their passion feeds their mind to assume ownership in finding connectivity where others do not, and continuously explore Application opportunities to learn, apply, and advance. Yearning to see the best in people, organizations, and distribution channels and deliverables to advance any situation in life. You will find that the solo entrepreneurs surround themselves virtually and literally with like-minded challengers and advocates, which fuels their sense of CRAZY as viewed through the lens of outsiders. Yet keeping a balance to allow productive ROI for right now and evolving ROI of tomorrow. The real CRAZY mind of the solo entrepreneur is really about understanding the “Player Capability Index™” as the mental architecture for life long development? Over the past two decades, through working with clients ranging from NASA and the DoD to HarleyDavidson and Farm Credit Services banking groups, to the National GUARD and NASBA, I have learned that understanding the human capital talent within an entrepreneur or institutional employee, comes down to a simple matrix I have designed and call “The Player Capability Index.” Your ability to understand objectively within yourself and others the depth of what each “letter” represents will directly connect you to the entrepreneurial energy and capacity of a person. The letters reveal the now and reveals what contributions may need to be calibrated into a person to enable them to function ahead of market needs tomorrow. The formula: C = (T2+A+P+E+C) E2 x R = R R = Results Starting on the right side of the equation, the last letter in the formula represents Results, any output or ROI desired. So how do you get to that R, you must objectively and thoroughly understand the chemistry of the C at the opposite left side of the equation. C = Capability Capability is the driver of the solo entrepreneur that enables significant results to be continuously generated. The greater the depth of any and every subsequent letter enables the Results, conversely for the complacent among us, it is their diminished desire to not draw upon any lettered capability driver nor their desire to add any real-time relevant depth to any lettered category that serves as the cancer to entrepreneurialism. So the letters within then parenthesis drive the Capability level. T2 = Training Traning as represented by any deliverable of knowledge, whether, formal or informal education, technical or non-technical education, certification driven or simple the OTJ knowledge acquisition. The number two adjacent to the C simply reminds you of two applications of the T, one is for total T gained from birth to present tense so T1 is Past tense Training and the T2 would be for Future tense train- ProfessionalPerformanceMagazine.com I 31 ing needs. Entrepreneurs are always seeking more T acquisition! A = Attitude Attitude that projects winner and not whiner. P = Performance Performance reflective of past accomplishments, records, participations, leadership and follower positions that would serve as a mental imprint of self-belief and awareness of what can be done. E = Experiences Experiences from birth to present tense are enormous windows through which entrepreneurs see themselves and from which one can draw strategically from for entrepreneur Results. C = Culture Culture awareness and upbringing also calibrate performance and self-worth, what you know you can draw upon, what you know you can manage. But what you fail to recognize may be the driver of results or implosion. E2 = Expectations Expectiations calibrate what rally shows p, the entrepreneur or the complacent individual. The first interpretation of E is yours, how you see yourself calibrates whether you bring you’re a-Game or B-Game to the show. And the second E is the other persons E of you. Knowing the two and calibrating them together allows for entrepreneurial effectiveness. R = Relationships Relationships that a person has can serve as the multiplier to the entire formula and that is how entrepreneurs leverage everything. Or sadly for far too many today their entrepreneurial energy is snuffed out because of the ever-increasing circle of negative influencers and stimulants around them. If you set a goal only to find that you can easily exceed it, was it really a goal at all? Understanding the solo entrepreneur mind and how to singularly take control of your destiny by inventing an ever-growing “Player Capability Index” is the DNA that CRAZY is made from!

Talented and Gifted 7th grade students from Harding Middle School visited University of Iowa Health Care to explore careers in Medicine and gain a better understanding of what working in the medical field looks like. Students first visited with a Neonatologist, who showed them how to intubate a baby and shared his experiences of being a Neonatologist with the students. Students then visited Air Care where they met some members of the flight crew and had the opportunity to go behind the scenes and take a look inside the helicopter. Students also had an up-close view to watch a helicopter land on the helipad. Finally, students met with a couple of current Carver College of Medicine students who talked about what it is like to be in medical school as well as taught some basic anatomy of the heart, lungs and brain. Students were able to touch human plastinated organs for a better understanding of the anatomical parts they were learning about.
University of Iowa Health Care is committed partners with formal and informal educators and community organizations across the state to advance STEM literacy to inspire the next generation of health care professionals and build a foundation for children to understanding their own health. In FY2015, more than 16,000 school age children were engaged in hands on learning provided by 260 faculty, staff and students.
Maybe the most touching photo I brought back from this trip: four little Turkish girls, explaining to two Dutch ladies how they are expected to clean themselves and how to behave when going to the mosque. They did not have one syllable of spoken language in common, but there was complete understanding... // Misschien wel de meest ontroerende foto die ik van deze trip mee naar huis bracht: vier kleine Turkse meisjes die twee Nederlandse dames uitlegden, hoe ze zich moesten reinigen en gedragen wanneer ze de moskee bezoeken. Ze hadden geen woord gesproken taal gemeen, maar er was perfekt begrip...

Under the Bihari Krishna Fellowship in Ethnographic Research set up at Social Science Baha (SSB), a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between SSB and the Central Department of Anthropology (CDA) at Tribhuvan University to set up two fellowship: i. PhD ethnographic research fellowship, and ii. PhD dissertation-to-book fellowship. The duration of the PhD ethnographic research fellowship will be one year and of the PhD dissertation-to-book fellowship, six months. The Bihari Krishna Fellowship in Ethnographic Research was set up in 2011 through a donation of Rs 5 million from Bihari Krishna Shrestha, one of the pioneering anthropologists of Nepal. The MoU was signed in the presence of Mr Shrestha by Professor Nirmal Man Tuladhar, Chair of SSB and Dr Dambar Chemjong, Head of Department at CDA on 4 November 2019 at the CDA.
Understanding the generic definition of painting as a coloured drawing, digital painting in contrast to all form of traditional painting can be characterized in two singular aspects. The first one, taken from the model of indirect method, establishes a particular process of additive and subtractive relationships through the superimposition and interaction of multiple layers subject not only to the phenomena of reflected light, such is the case of traditional veil painting, but also projected light. On the other hand, the aleatoric nature of digital process involves by definition, the use of second generation image. This fusion of a pictorial work through a concept of indirect method and graphic work through the use of second generation images opens a new field of visual exploration where its versatility has predetermined in the last decades, a creative pool of exponential growth.
The images above illustrate a basic methodology of how to begin understanding the fundamentals of digital painting as an image building process. In its initial phase, the artist has created a series of mixed media drawings on polycarbonate film specially formulated to be receptive to a wide range of drawing materials such as: graphite, charcoal, prisma color, rubbing ink, India ink, Tusche ink, litho crayon and any form of pigment and vehicle which reacts to the hydroscopic qualities inherent to the granulation of the mentioned substrate.
The monochromatic images or original drawings on the top left have been divided in two genres. The first two columns are washes where depending on the viscosity of its vehicle, the pigment will reticulate in different patterns. From the old traditions of continuous tone lithography, Tusche ink (high density pigment ink) has been the trademark of many artists in how to achieve various forms of textures and tectonic qualities. The same way we can observe above, the difference between a lacquer thinner wash and turpentine wash with alcohol applications. In contrast, the right hand columns exemplify subtractive techniques with charcoal drawing and #1-#7calibrated litho crayon halftone drawing.
In the lower portion, we observe the same drawings which have been digitalized in quadtone modality where the artist assigns to each channel a specific chromatic and tonal value. Understanding the nature of digital work with millions of colours the possibilities are infinite. In order to schematize the process, the artist divides tonal scale in four areas, shadows or low tones, lower halftones, higher halftones and highlights. By curvature effect each tonal area of the image is assigned to a specific value. In this preliminary stage of digital colorations, the artist’s decisions are somehow predetermined by the additive and subtractive relationships which will take place later on.
The final image on the right hand side or B.A.T., abbreviation taken from the French expression: “bon-à-tirer” meaning: “right to print” is an example when all four drawings have been superimposed and interacted by layers. The multiple relationships of layer interaction which can be established in addition to the use of mask, filters and tonal modulation constitutes the true potential creativity inherent to the use of second generation images.
As per a contact's request...here's my attempt at a "Hate the Deed, Not the Breed" vibe.
I love The Babe in this. Her eyes and her distance show that little bit of fear, but The Pit's eyes are so gentle...almost loving - like he's asking for a hug. :)
I'm reading the much talked about "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson. "Everybody" recommends this book and I can see why. Peterson explains the concepts of exposure in an easy to understand way, and his examples are beautiful. Highly recommended.

This studio aimed to develop and further a students' understanding of architecture by studying the intersection of at, design and materials science. Three primary exercises helped develop student’s techniques of drawing, making and organizing structures. This course was specifically created to play off students' non-architectural education by introducing a domain of investigation whereby students learned to design through the lens of cross-disciplinary experimentation.
Throughout the semester students investigated generative art, design and materials science through the lens of “pattern formation” and attempted to extract principles, learned techniques and developed strategies for design. By studying the formation of materials students explored both the fundamental science as well as new advances in research to understand the building blocks of matter, organizational patterns, processes of material creation and micro-to-macro material behavior. To draw comparison, students also researched both contemporary and historic works of generative art and design to understand the rules, logic and components of the work and how high-level patterns emerge from local interaction. These seemingly opposite fields converged and become precedents for three exercises: 1. Generative drawings, 2. New material formations and 3. Living objects / growing structures.
