Each Avatar has its own relevance
In the understanding of the role of Avatars, the easiest, and the sweetest means was revealed by Krishna Avatar to the largest extent. This does not mean that the other Avatars are irrelevant. Each Avatar is appropriate for the time of its advent. This may be illustrated by a small example. When there is a petty quarrel in the street, a policeman's intervention is enough. When there is riotous crowd, a Police Inspector may be necessary to deal with it. In an insurgency, the Inspector-General of Police will have to take charge of the situation.
When Dharma was showing signs of decline, Rama appeared to protect Dharani (the earth), Dharma Patni (his consort) and Dharma (Righteousness). It was for these three-fold purposes that Rama Avatar took place.
By the time of Krishna Avatar, the forces of wickedness had grown to greater proportions. Krishna was not concerned much about the earth or the wife. His main concern was with Dharma. When Dharma is firmly established, the earth and the Dharma-Patni are also duly protected.
In this context, Rama is described as "Maya maanusha vigraha" (Maya in human form). In the story of Rama, it is related that Rama lamented over the loss of Sita. In Krishna Avatar the picture is different. Women were in distress for the sake of Krishna.
In Rama Avatar, Rama was provoked to take arms against evildoers. In Krishna Avatar, Krishna provoked the conflict and fought the evildoers. In Rama Avatar, duty comes first and joy later. In Krishna Avatar, joy comes first and then duty.

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.

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!

Sybil (gently tucks him in the bed): “What was I saying? Oh, and you are fit for anything. Ahem… You just need to sleep the alcohol off, and you'll be just fine... Everything's gonna be just fine.”
Elliot (smiles faintly): “Thank you for understanding. You can go now.”
Sybil: “Oh, I’m not gonna leave you alone – not tonight. (takes a scared look toward the door) Besides, it’s terribly late. I don’t wanna go out there on my own… No. (puts her phone in her jeans pocket, settles on the bed and takes his hand in both of hers) This is a safe haven. I’m gonna stay here and make sure you won’t go anywhere.”
Elliot (laughingly): “You really don’t need to. I ain’t gonna attempt anything that stupid no more. I ain’t going anywhere… (suddenly widens his eyes and starts panicking) Please don’t tell anyone! Please don’t tell anyone what I almost did! They’re gonna put me away for 200 years! I faked a prescription, and that’s criminal! It’s gonna ruin Indy and Mama! I can take anything, but not that! And this is the last thing Ben needs! (stares at Sybil with fearful eyes) Please, please!”
Sybil (compassionately tightens her grip on his hand): “Don’t worry, I’m not telling anyone. (pulls his hand against her cheek, softly kisses it and whispers) This is our little secret. I’ll get rid of the pills and the rest of the alcohol first thing in the morning. In fact, we’ll flush it all down the drain together. (smiles) Nobody needs to know – not even Ben. I’ll buy him a new bottle of champagne, and then we’ll make sure everything is like it should be in his apartment. You left a mess behind you, didn’t you?”
Elliot (laughingly): “I didn’t break anything… I think. (starts sobbing again) I can’t thank you enough… I’ve been so stupid. I don’t understand how you still put up with me… Can you ever forgive me?”
Sybil: “You’re doing it again! Stop feeling sorry for yourself! There’s nothing to forgive at all… I mean, there’s nothing to forgive, because I have forgiven you, alright? You are worth much more than you give yourself credit for. If you weren’t, then why would I be here?”
Elliot (laughingly): “I dunno. Hah! ‘Cause you’re stupid too and you don’t know what’s good for you.”
Sybil (rolls eyes, smiling): “I suggest that you shut up now, mister, and get some sleep before I feel like slapping and… or kissing you again.”
Elliot: “Okay then, your wish is my command. By the way… Talking about commands, I accept the bet if the offer still stands.”

This event brought together a panel of three leading economists—Thomas Piketty, Kevin Murphy, and Steven Durlauf—to discuss the sources of the rise in inequality in advanced industrialized countries over the past 40 years, the problems it poses, and effective responses. Nobel laureate James Heckman moderated the panel and guided the discussion.
This event was cosponsored by the Becker Friedman Institute, the Harris School of Public Policy, the Human Capital and Economic Opportunity Global Working Group, and the Center for the Economics of Human Development.

Fire watch refers to manually monitoring property that is at risk of experiencing fire incidents. The fire watch guard is required to ensure that should such an event occur, all the interested parties and relevant authorities are notified. Fire watch is closely controlled by Chapter 15 of the National Fire Protection Association regulations. Here is more on the specific requirements stipulated for property owners and fire watch services alike.
1. Monitoring of Automatic Systems
One of the most important fire watch requirements revolves around ensuring that property is secured with automated monitoring systems. This includes things like smoke detectors, fire alarms, and automatic fire extinguishing sprinklers.
As a property owner, manager or even renter, you have to regularly inspect these to ensure that they are in good condition. The number of times or regularity with which you have the inspections performed is determined by jurisdictional legislation. However, the more often you have them checked the better.
2. Active Watch if Systems Are Down for More Than 4 Hours
According to the National Fire Protection Association, a manual fire watch should be instituted if automated watch systems are determined to have failed for more than 4 hours. This could be anything from failed alarms to clogged piping in the sprinkler system.
As you plan to have the systems back up and running, you are required to have acting fire watching round the clock. This ensures that should anything happen while the repairs are being done, a fire will not catch residents unaware.
3. Continuous Patrol and Inspection for Signs of Fire
Another one of the most serious fire watch requirements is that those involved in the fire watch must run continuous patrols. It could be that you get a group together to do it or you decided to go the professional route and hire a fire watch company.
Whatever the case, the National Fire Protection Association requires that the patrols be maintained until the other systems are completely repaired. The aim is to look for any warning signs of fire whether it is smoke, smoldering materials, or straight up fire.
This requirement is particularly important to implement on what the association refers to as hot sites. These are properties that, either due to their location or nature of activities performed there, are at higher risk of suffering fire incidents. Factories are the best example here. With these, the continuous patrol of every square foot of the property is paramount.
4. Must Remain in Effect Until Automatic Systems are Restored
Finally, the National Fire Protection Association requires that the patrols be maintained until all the automated systems are fully restored. It doesn’t matter whether it takes hours or weeks to do this. Once proper authorities have done their inspection of the systems and certified them as functional, you are free to call off the constant watch if you wish to.
Conclusion
After all is said and done, fire watchers are a real investment to any property. It doesn’t matter whether you are running a hot site at risk of fire or your automated systems happened to have failed. It is important to understand and comply with the regulations and fire watch requirements according to the National Fire Protection Association. This helps you stay on the right side of the law while also protecting your investment and saving lives.

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 Ibarram, Susana Valencia, Hernán Marín, Mario Valencia, and Gustavo Ramírez.

Women Rewarded Solar Lights for Adult Literacy
Solar Lantern Distribution To Adult Women PEP TANDOALLAHYAR Oct12th, 2017
Pakistan has one of the lowest literacy rates in the world. The general understanding of literacy in Pakistan is the ability to read and write and unluckily, millions of people in Pakistan are dispossessed of even this. The situation seems even worse when we look into the urban-rural divide. In rural Sindh, women are most deprived of education due to cultural customs which has created gender inequality and has deprived women to have a voice in the society. Through Adult Literacy Education, Primary Education project PEP is on to change that.
Female Adult Literacy program was initiated in 2016. At present PEP is running 26 Female Adult Literacy (FAL) Centers with 316 Female Adult Literacy members (Adult Students) in different areas of rural Sindh as follows,
Khipro48
Mirpurkhas47
Khawaja Goth7
Tando Allahyar80
Tando Ghulam Ali134
There are 6 area officers and 1 WEP coordinator for the implementing and monitoring of the adult literacy program.
As a gesture of appreciation Pervaiz Lodhie President and founder LEDtronics Inc. offered a special gift of a Solar Powered LED Solar Light to the 316 student and 7 program officers.
Funding for the solar lights was provided by one of gentleman from USA. His name is not mentioned here on his advice.
First distribution ceremony was held on Thursday October 12, 2017 in Shaleemabad, Achaar Khaskeli & Shanti Nagar ALCs located in Tando Allahyar districts.
Lt. Gen (Retd.) Syed Perwaiz Shahid a renowned educationist was chief guest for the event.
Ms. Lillian Charles Program Manager PEP and other team members from PEP were present in the event.
During the ceremony 72 female students received solar lanterns. PEP will organize another event in Hyderabad for the distribution of remaining solar lights in November 2017.
