"Everyone knows those moments when you seem to understand everything; perhaps the next moment you try to define what you’ve understood and it all vanishes." - Italo Calvino, The Watcher.
Here are two shots of a mosquito-like Dance Fly (Empididae, Diptera) on a pistillate catkin of Arroyo Willow (Salix lasiolepis, Salicaceae) by the creek today, probably genus Empis. The shot on the right shows its paddle-like proboscis which is distinctly flattened side-to-side. The shot on the left shows the fly using its proboscis to delve deep down between the individual pistils that make up the catkin. It's my understanding that these flies are primarily predators, but I find them every year nectaring on the willow catkins. I believe they are predators, see this photo, but I sure don't understand how they use that proboscis to catch prey. (San Marcos Pass, 18 February 2020)

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.

The true pattern of life extends through both domains [death and life] . . . there is neither a This-side nor a That-side, but a single great unity in which the beings who transcend us, the angels, have their habitation . . . . . . The earth has no alternative but to become invisible—in us, who with a portion of our being have a share in the Invisible, or at least the appearance of sharing; we who can multiply our possessions of the Invisible during our earthly existence, in us alone can there be accomplished this intimate and continual transmutation of the Visible into the Invisible . . . just as our own destiny becomes unceasingly more present, and at the same time invisible, in us.
-Letter to Witold von Hulewicz, 13 November 1925, Rilke, Rainer Maria, Selected Letters 1902–1926,
In E-Commerce, Intellectual Property (IP), is indeed the most neglected yet the highest value bearing component. The real reason behind the same lies in the fact that the crucial role of IP in E-Commerce is either less understood or not apparent. 👉 ✅ For view source: www.trademarkmaldives.com/blog/understanding-the-crucial-...

Why deal with art in wet zone?
Our understanding of humanity based on that we have full control over 'our' world and culture, and 'our selves', is in a crisis.
This does not mean we are going down or disappear, but rather that we need to sense human beings, ourselves, and our role in some new ways. There are opportunities in crisis: It opens up new discoveries and insights - and, not least, new ways to recognize and gain insight.
This involves several levels of the human 'sphere' of which I may only elaborate on some of them here: The body, subjectivity, art and context.
Let us revisit with the body.
In the wet zone a body is not ’just’ a body. A body is both physical and virtual. The body is stasis and movement, solid and liquid; thought and feeling; a paradox, it seems, for the philosopher – and for the human sciences.

The Anatomy of Prejudice
5-year-growing-exhibition
on prejudice and xenophobia
@IKM Museum in Oslo
"Thierry Geoffroy’s art format EXTRACTEUR is different from the scientific and academic investigation methods. Rather than following the standard categories, the EXTRACTEUR is based on an artistic way of combining the factual and the poetic interpretations of a subject matter. I consider EXTRACTEUR to be a unique way of extending our understanding of data-collection, classification, and analyses."
—Tijana Miskovic, curator
The exhibition is based around “The Jungle” - an EXTRACTEUR art format, created to collect data about prejudice and give them an evolutive artistic form. The format also includes academic studying of the collected data in order to understand the anatomy of prejudice. The information collected during the exhibition period is aesthetically forming part of a monumental sculptural artwork, but can at the same time be considered as valuable data for scientific and academic purposes. This doubleness between aesthetics and analytics is the core idea of all EXTRACTEUR formats, developed to analyze the socio-political context of the world we live in through artists lens. By the end of the 5-year long exhibition period, the collected data will consist of a huge number of detections of xenophobia-signs reported by 50.000 active participants.

The global sanitation crisis continues to affect the lives of 2.4 billion people who lack access to safe sanitation. In India alone, over 520 million practice open defecation, which severely increases the risk of neonatal mortality, stunting and contracting infectious diseases.
Although lack of latrines or using them has been widely cited in the mass media as a key factor driving open defecation, very few quantitative studies have focused on it. To address this evidence gap, 3ie is supporting several impact evaluations of interventions to promote latrine use in rural India. We are also committed to supporting the use of quality research evidence to inform decision-making.
In solidarity with World Toilet Day 2017, 3ie organised a panel discussion on the use of evidence to inform India’s sanitation policies and programming on 17 November.
18th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin E. Dempsey joins Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman Sgt. Maj. Bryan B. Battaglia in the roll out of the first of its kind Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer Book in the Pentagon Auditorium, Dec. 17, 2013. Gen. Dempsey was the keynote speaker for the event. The book titled, "The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer: Backbone of the Armed Forces" it's a first of its kind. Written of, for and by the noncommissioned officer and petty officer - is a comprehensive explanation of the enlisted leader across the United States Armed Forces. Written by a team of Active, Reserve, and retired senior enlisted leaders from all Service branches, this book defines and describes how NCOs/POs fit into an organization, centers them in the Profession of Arms, exposes their international engagement, and explains their dual roles of complementing the officer and enabling the force. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin E. Dempsey writes in his foreword to the book, "We know noncommissioned officers and petty officers to have exceptional competence, professional character, and soldierly grit - they are exemplars of our Profession of Arms." Aspirational and fulfilling, this book helps prepare young men and women who strive to become NCOs/POs, re-inspires serving enlisted leaders, and stimulates reflection by those who have retired from or left active service. It also gives those who have never worn the uniform a better understanding of who these exceptional men and women are, and why they are properly known
as the "Backbone of the Armed Forces." As part of the ceremony, the first book will be autographed then delivered to the Library of Congress where it will reside for historical preservation. (DoD photo by U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Sean K. Harp)
Infectious disease epidemics (e.g. swine flu) represent a serious health risk globally. Public health attempts at controlling the spread of diseases are reliant upon the public’s knowledge of symptoms and preventative measures. Human behavioural choices (e.g. wearing face masks) can have a significant impact on the course of an epidemic; however, research shows that although people report concern about swine flu, knowledge levels are low, as are reports of behavioural changes aimed at minimising the spread of swine flu. These findings suggest that the public were not sufficiently educated about swine flu and therefore has implications for future health campaigns.
