Joint Base Commander Col. Fern O. Sumpter hosted community guests from Arlington County and Washington D.C. at a holiday reception at the Fort Myer Officers Club Wednesday night to celebrate the season. Guests representing the municipal governments, area businesses, and civic and service organizations were greeted, as they entered the club, by a festive array of holiday lights, Christmas trees and glittering ornaments.
Department of Defense leaders and partners were also in attendance, including the Commander of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command, Lt. Gen. Michael Ferriter and his wife, Margie, and Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army, Virginia North, Retired Army Lt. Gen. Joseph E. DeFrancisco and his wife, Lynne. Even Santa Clause made an appearance.
Col. Sumpter toasted her guests thanking them for their attendance and asking them to remember our service men and women, as well as their children, over the holidays. “Keep them in your hearts and prayers,” she said. “Where you can, if you can make a difference, make sure a child experiences the magic of the season.”
One guest, Janell Hancock, with Dominion Virginia Power, made the trip from Richmond, Va., for the event. “I just had to be here,” she said. “I always come for business during the day. I had to see the installation and the club at night – all decorated for the holidays.” She concluded by saying she was overwhelmed “by the overall splendor.”
More than 600 Airmen assigned to the 322nd Training Squadron graduated from Basic Military Training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, July 27-28, 2022. Lt. Gen. Richard W. Scobee, Commander, Air Force Reserve Command, reviewed the ceremony. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Gregory Walker)

Pictured, the base exchange at the United Kingdom's RAF Alconbury, 1999.
Today, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service still operates stores at Alconbury, although more modern than the one pictured.
An exchange at Alconbury dates back to when the installation first opened in 1942 for use by the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II.
The Dujiangyan Panda Base and Center for Disease Control, operated by the Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Pandas (CCRCGP), occupies a semi-natural hillside location near Shiqiao Village, Qingchengshan in Dujiangyan county, near the Taoist holy mountain of Qīngchéngshān and 18 km from central Dujiangyan city.
A more visitor-friendly name is 'Dujiangyan Giant Panda Base'; it also seems to be known as 'Dujiangyan Panda Ark'.
The 51 ha centre (or is that just the visitor-accessible part?) has a specific focus on panda disease control, prevention and research. As such, the 'nursing home' works with sick or injured wild pandas and elderly or disabled captive pandas.
It also acts as quarantine for pandas leaving or entering China; if you've seen giant pandas anywhere else in the world, they either visited or will visit Dujiangyan Panda Base at some point, as the foreign-born cubs of Chinese-loaned pandas (i.e. all of them!) contractually must be returned to China and the breeding programme.
This doesn't mean that all the residents are ill or otherwise disabled – I wasn't aware of seeing any in such a condition. Many are entirely healthy, as the CCRCGP's disease-prevention initiative involves separating captive populations, containing any outbreaks to individual bases, and veterinary research also needs to study healthy individuals.
The world-famous Chengdu Panda Base (Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, CRBGPB) also has a Field Research Center in Dujiangyan county, seemingly known as Dujiangyan Panda Valley, where pandas are gradually reintroduced to the wild. To avoid misunderstanding: this isn't it.

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.
