MENOPAUSE
Better understanding and working with changes during menopause.
What is happening, what is normal and not normal, and how to manage more common complaints of this transition.
Myeongnyun-dang at the Confucian Temple in Sungkyunkwan University. I translate it (rather clumsily) as 'the Hall of Understanding Human Relationships'. Mengzi says that understanding human relationships is the purpose of education and the basis of good government. If he were alive today, he'd probably be a sociologist.
The Myeongnyun-dang was rebuilt in 1606 after being destroyed by the Japanese during the Imjin wars. The tablet dates from the same year. The calligraphy is that of Zhu Zhifan 朱之蕃, the Chinese imperial envoy to Korea.
The memo of understanding Quennell has filed to intervene on behalf of his own appeal
New National Socialist type legislation: The following article provokes some chilling thoughts. It is amusing that the city of Saskatoon was largely founded by people who made their fortunes bootlegging and running whorehouses. Less amusing is to reflect that before the Jews in Germany were taken to the camps, their property was expropriated quite legally. It began with laws similar to this.
Province adds crimefighting tool
Saskatchewan News Network; Regina Leader-Post, November 04, 2005
REGINA (SNN) -- The provincial government is trying to crack down on crime in Saskatchewan with new legislation that allows police to seize property gained through or used in illegal activity.
Justice Minister Frank Quennell announced the proclamation of the Seizure of Criminal Property Act Thursday, calling it another step in the government's plan to "make the province a hostile environment for organized crime.
"We have a growing problem with gangs and with organized crime," he said. "I think people tend to think that gangs, as we understand them in Saskatchewan, aren't organized crime, they're not in business. Even where that's true, it won't be true for long."
Under the act, the chief of police in a jurisdiction can make an application in civil court to have property seized which is believed to be the gains of crime or is being used to carry out a crime.
In the event the person suspected of being in possession of such property is a member of a criminal organization, police must only be able to show that person has been previously convicted of engaging in organized crime. Police must only be able to show that the property was more likely than not gained through crime.
In the case of an individual criminal, there must be some proof that the property is the result of or being used in crime.
It is then up to the alleged criminal to prove the property isn't more likely than not the result of crime.
If the property is indeed deemed to be criminally linked, it will become property of the provincial government and sold, with the proceeds to cover the police force's legal bills.
Quennell said similar legislation is already in place in Ontario and Manitoba and has gone through first reading in the B.C. legislature.
Regina Police Service deputy chief Clive Weighill said even though the province doesn't have the large-scale crime syndicates that some provinces and states do, the legislation will be important in the fight against crime.
"One of the methods we have in stopping crime is taking away the ill-gotten gains from crime," he said. "If someone is selling drugs and the gains they're getting from it keeps disappearing on them and they have to keep reinvesting to buy their drugs and reinvesting to buy their property again, it certainly does put a dent in their activity."
He said it won't, however, be used on a regular basis.
"There would be a lengthy investigation done before we would even contemplate using this so it would only be a few times in a year," he said.

Clarion Alley
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarion_Alley_"""&qu...
Clarion Alley Mural Project (CAMP) is an artists' collective formed in 1992. Inspired by Balmy Alley and other murals and muralists of San Francisco's Mission District, CAMP came together to iniate a mural project on Clarion Alley, also the source of the collective's name. While the Balmy Alley mural project focused on the theme of Central American struggle, the stated goals of CAMP were social inclusiveness and aesthetic variety. CAMP went on to organize projects off site at the Redstone Building (in 1997), and the ILWU Building, as well as gallery installations at San Francisco Art Institute, New Langton Arts, and Intersection for the Arts.
In 2003, CAMP collaborated with Apotik Komik, an artists collective in Indonesia, and Intersection for the Arts to organize and present the project Sama-sama/Together, an international collaboration and exchange between community arts organizations and artists from San Francisco (U.S.A.) and Yogyakarta (Indonesia). The project was designed to foster understanding of recent world events and Muslim and non-Muslim cultures between the two communities through the creation of new works, as well as through cross-cultural dialogue between participating artists and the public at large."""""""

watching this pair was a fabulous sight, so much trust shared by both of them, a very tender moment.
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.

British born Frenchman Clet Abraham is a plastic artistic who is transforming the traffic signs across the world with a political, religious and philosophic understanding. Flo'N the GO found out some more about Abraham and his work - to read the full interview click here.
When did you begin to do this kind of art?
One year ago. I was crossing the city driving my car and started to think how stupid and primitive were the traffic signs that were ruling me. They told us: you can’t go there, you must turn left or right and nothing more. I decided to give them another meaning, a reading grade was what they lacked.
Where around the world is your work visable today?
Florence, Torino, London and Valencia. Next year, I expect to work in more European countries.
What was the first sign you 'adapted'?
The Jesus Christ, but it was stolen from the Piazza Michelangelo and I did the other about Virgin Mary and Maria Madalena.
Where do you draw your influences from?
I was influenced by Classicism and Surrealism. Maybe the artist that most influenced me was Pieter Buegel. Besides he didn’t have a perfect manual capacity, his work told something to people.
What is your opinion on urban art?
I think that general rules are wrong, we shouldn’t say that all is forbidden but that some things are and others not. Urban art always there was and always there will be. Also the David sculpture, of Michelangelo, is urban art.

Understanding the impacts of vegetation on soil loss is important to helping land managers take care of the land. Through the use of large-scale rainfall simulation, we studied the impacts of brush removal on military training lands and how much soil is saved/lost before and after the land treatment.
Seen at the British Wildlife Centre. 'Jake' and his brother arrived in mid July 2012.
'Jake' has been a little on the shy side, but the photographer has been successful in getting him to come out from the undergrowth, in the past couple of weeks. His understanding is pretty good, but he clearly thinks that "You'll be fed in 10 minutes" actually means "You'll be fed in 10 seconds". He is on lookout for a Keeper.
On this occasion, he wandered back to the undergrowth, just as the Keeper was arriving! He did, however, come back out to star in the Keeper's talk. Only his third talk, to date.
Philip B. Duffy, Ph.D.
Physicist, Climate Strategist, and Policy Architect
Dr. Philip B. Duffy’s journey through the realms of science and policy is a testament to the power of interdisciplinary dedication. From the cosmic expanses of astrophysics to the pressing challenges of Earth’s climate, his career reflects a seamless integration of rigorous scientific inquiry with actionable policy development.
Born with an innate curiosity about the universe, Duffy pursued his undergraduate studies in astronomy and astrophysics at Harvard University, graduating magna cum laude. His quest for deeper understanding led him to Stanford University, where he earned a Ph.D. in applied physics. These academic foundations equipped him with a unique perspective, allowing him to approach climate science with both analytical precision and a holistic worldview.
Duffy’s professional odyssey commenced at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he delved into climate modeling and the intricate dynamics of the Earth’s systems. His tenure there was marked by significant contributions to understanding the impacts of climate change, particularly in the western United States. Recognizing the imperative of bridging science with societal needs, he became the founding director of the University of California’s Institute for Research on Climate Change and its Societal Impacts, fostering collaborations that transcended traditional academic boundaries.
Transitioning into the policy arena, Duffy served as a Senior Policy Analyst in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) during the Obama administration. His role expanded as he became a Senior Advisor to the U.S. Global Change Research Program, where he was instrumental in shaping national climate research agendas. His expertise was further recognized when he was appointed as the Climate Science Advisor in the OSTP’s Climate and Environment Division under President Biden, reinforcing the administration’s commitment to science-driven climate action.
Beyond governmental roles, Duffy’s leadership at the Woodwell Climate Research Center (formerly Woods Hole Research Center) as President and Executive Director was transformative. He championed initiatives that connected scientific research with diverse stakeholders, including faith-based organizations, under-resourced communities, and private sector leaders. His efforts emphasized the importance of inclusive dialogue in addressing climate challenges.
Currently, as the Chief Scientist at Spark Climate Solutions, Duffy continues to spearhead innovative approaches to mitigate climate risks. His work focuses on critical yet often overlooked areas, such as atmospheric methane removal and the warming-induced emissions from permafrost, underscoring his commitment to comprehensive climate strategies.
Throughout his illustrious career, Duffy has been a vocal advocate for integrating scientific insights into policy-making. His testimonies before Congress, participation in United Nations climate negotiations, and contributions to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change highlight his role as a bridge between empirical research and actionable policy. His words have resonated widely, with notable quotations featured in The New York Times, reflecting his ability to communicate complex ideas with clarity and urgency.
Outside the corridors of science and policy, Duffy finds solace in cycling and the companionship of his dog, Rosie. These personal pursuits mirror his professional ethos: a balance of relentless drive and grounded humanity.
Dr. Philip B. Duffy’s legacy is one of unwavering dedication to harnessing science for the betterment of society. His multifaceted career serves as an inspiration, demonstrating how rigorous scientific understanding, when coupled with compassionate leadership, can pave the way for meaningful change in the face of global challenges.
