You're an adventurer
You sail across the oceans
You climb the Himalayas
Seeking truth and beauty as a natural state
You're a queen reborn
Worshipped from above afar
Some see you as an elixir
An elemental natural seeking perfect grace
In a catacomb
Or cave of endless drawings
Prehistoric or religious
Your accomplishments prodigious
Seeking out the perfect tone
Your language so clear
Your voice perfectly turning
As in the city I sit yearning
Blowing rings of smoke from thin cigars
Or driving fast in foreign cars
To capture your remains
You're an adventurer
A turban wet wrapped round your head
On the mountainside they predict your death
Oh how you fooled them all
But subjects are a poor excuse
When what you really want's a muse
An inspirating knowledge of what comes before
Speeds of light
The momentary flicker of a candle in its wicker basket
Smoking wax - Facts!
Did you find that superior knowledge that eluded you in college
Did you find that super vortex that could cause your cerebral cortex
to lose its grip
You're an adventurer
You were out looking for meaning
While the rest of us were steaming in an inspirating urban pit
An adventurer
You enter as I'm dreaming
I wish I'd never wake up
Differentiating scheming from my one true love
You're an adventurer
You love the angles and the cherries
The height and width of levies
The natural bridge and tunnels of the human race
You're an adventurer
Nothing seem to scare you and if it does it won't dissuade you
You just will not think about it
You dismiss it and defocus
You redefine the locus of your time in space - Race!
As you move further from me and though I understand the thinking
And have often done the sane thing I find parts of me gone
You're an adventurer
And though I'll surely miss you
And of course I'll survive without you and maybe good will come of that
But at this point I anticipate some grieving
And although I know your leaving
Is a necessary adjunct to what we both do
An adventurer
Splitting up the atom
Splitting up the once was
Splitting up the essence
Of our star-crossed fate
None who meet you do forget you
My adventurer, my adventurer ...
My adventuress

Las prácticas que parten de la experiencia implican un aprendizaje más significativo que aquellas que se centran en la transmisión de un conocimiento dado, por ello, cada final de curso realizamos un taller de verano para profesores con el deseo de explorar el potencial educativo de la acción y los modos de construcción de conocimiento que pueden derivarse de la acción.
Salir del estudio, ocupar la totalidad del espacio, distraer la tónica dominante, bajar la tensión de un acto inaugural, dormir con las puertas abiertas, sacar una piedra del muro, desactivar un protocolo de seguridad, dar paso a lo desconocido, oscurecer un recorrido, salir antes de tiempo, asimilar la temperatura exterior, detenerse en los tejados, atravesar ese bosque esta noche, salvar las distancias, ocupar una tribuna, meterse donde no te llaman, aumentar el caudal de un río, perderse por el camino, atar cabos, entrar por la puerta de atrás, ponerse en el lugar del otro, no hacer, tender un puente, retirar las vallas de un solar, volver a casa, abrir un agujero permanente, cambiar cerrado por abierto, encharcar el centro, salir del aula, derogar las normas de uso, volar al presente… Las propuestas de Luz Broto a menudo activan dimensiones desconocidas, enfatizan la exploración como herramienta de conocimiento del entorno dado y la acción como generadora de experiencias que, desde lo individual, se acercan a lo colectivo.
En este taller os proponemos trabajar durante una semana juntos en los «peros» que nos rodean, los que limitan las posibilidades de movimiento en nuestros espacios cotidianos, en nuestros lugares de trabajo, en nuestros cuerpos.
En años anteriores hemos realizado talleres con artistas como Los Torreznos, Tania Bruguera, Pere Faura, Itziar Okariz, Norberto Llopis, Nilo Gallego, Dora García y Aimar Pérez Galí.
Experience-based practices involve a much higher level of learning that those focused on the transmission of given knowledge. That is why, at the end of the academic year we organise a summer workshop for teachers with the goal of exploring the educational potential of action and ways of constructing knowledge that can come from action.
Leave the studio, take over the whole of space, break with the general tone, lower the tension of the opening act, sleep with the doors open, remove a brick from the wall, deactivate a safety protocol, give way to a stranger, darken the path, leave before time, assimilate the outdoor temperature, hang around the rooftops, cut through the forest tonight, bridge the gap, take over a platform, stick your nose into something, increase the flow of a river, lose oneself along the way, tie loose ends, go in the backdoor, put yourself in someone else’s place, don’t do it, lay a bridge, remove the fence from a plot of land, go back home, open a permanent hole, change closed for open, flood the centre, leave the classroom, repeal the rules and regulations, fly to the present… Luz Broto’s proposals often activate unknown dimensions, emphasising exploration as a tool for discovering a given environment and action as a motor for new experiences that approach the individual to the collective.
This workshop proposes working together for a week with all the “ifs and buts” that surround us, those that limit the possibilities for movement in our everyday spaces, in our workplaces, and in our own bodies.
This workshop has been held previously with artists like Los Torreznos, Tania Bruguera, Pere Faura, Itziar Okariz, Norberto Llopis, Nilo Gallego, Dora García and Aimar Pérez Galí.

===Trivia===
-The "Farol do Saber" (Lighthouse of Knowledge) was conceived by Rafael Greca, in his mandate as 77th Mayor of Curitiba, as a way to facilitate access to books and, later, the internet.
-The first Lighthouse of Knowledge was inaugurated in the neighborhood Vista Alegre, on November 19, 1994, under the name of Machado de Assis.
-The name and architecture of the building were inspired by the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria.
-The units turned on their headlights at night and also served as City Guard posts, giving security to the neighborhoods they belonged to, and comfort and safety to nearby residents.
-There are 41 units spread throughout the neighborhoods of the city of Curitiba (The one in the photo is located in Atuba).
-The architectural project has a built area of 88 square meters, a ten meter high lighthouse tower crowned with the figure of a rooster, symbolizing the light, intelligence and the mind always awake (In some traditions, daring, hope and rebirth).
-Only one unit does not follow the format of the others, the Lighthouse of Knowledge Gibran Khalil Gibran, better known as the Arab Memorial.
-The Farol das Cidades (Lighthouse of the Cities), despite having the same architecture, has a collection focused on urban planning.
-There is no specific date and no official reason, but all units had their headlights turned off permanently, the Machado de Assis unit was the last one to deactivate it.
-Most units are no longer used as guard posts.
-There are Lighthouses of Knowledge outside Curitiba - using only the same architecture and/or objective of those of Curitiba - in the Paranaenses cities of Ribeirão do Pinhal, Boa Vista da Aparecida e Paranavaí, in São Luís of Maranhão and even one abroad, in The Hague, Holland.

Scene from a Haitian village east of Cap Haitian. Corinne Joachim-Sanon's team is here to buy beans from small scale farmers to make chocolate in the first chocolate factory in Haiti. In total, Corinne's workers bought 600 kg of cacao beans that day.
Corinne Joachim-Sanon had the doors open to jobs in major corporations in the United States. She did an internship at L’Oreal, worked at Accenture and had an Industrial and Operations Engineering degree from the second best program in the country (Michigan Engineering). She added to that degree MBA from the Wharton School of Business.
Ambitious, smart and focused, Corinne was set to quickly climb a corporate ladder. But the Haitian native was nagged by a different kind of ambition. She wanted to run her own business. She wanted to put her industrial engineering knowledge into practice as an entrepreneur. This New York City resident wanted to design and build a factory. A factory and a distribution network for her products. A factory that would provide well paying jobs to people in her native Haiti. Yes, Corinne wanted to make a profit as an entrepreneur, but she also wanted to help elevate the Haitian people’s economic conditions.
She and her husband invested $160,000 of their own money to start the company. They used a building owned by Corinne’s grandfather as a factory location.
Corinne did her research and decided to focus on chocolate since Haiti is known for providing specialty cacao for some of the best chocolate manufactures in the world. But rather than supplying the raw material, Corinne built the FIRST beans to bars factory in Haiti. They control the entire production and distribution process. The company Askanya gathers cacao from 3,000 farmers and distributes the chocolate bars to stores in the United States and Haiti. They have their eyes set on the likes of the Whole Foods as a future distribution network.

Flickr Group Roulette today stops on WordaWeek. This week's word is Sophisticated.
so·phis·ti·cat·ed
adjective
1. Having acquired worldly knowledge or refinement; lacking natural simplicity or naiveté.
2. Very complex or complicated.
Being the simple and naive man that I am, I associate sophistication with the extended pinky. Wait, maybe that is hoity-toityism?
Have you ever had trouble choosing the best hotel accommodations previously? You might have come to the correct place. This post is your answer to a less frustrating experience. Continue reading to find out more.
You will find great deals on rooms in hotels using online travel sites. When you make hotel reservations, make sure to include info about hotel loyalty programs that you may hold membership. Also, you could possibly find some good discounts provided by organizations which you might take part in like AAA or AARP.
To get the very best hotel deals, always plan your trips weeks in front of schedule, or perhaps a couple of months. Most hotels have serious reduced prices for early booking customers. You may even have the ability to save as much as 50 % off at some very exclusive hotels.
Usually do not believe that each hotel welcomes pets. Ask your accommodation if pets are allowed, regardless of what their website says. Ensure they specify what pet-friendly means since there could be certain restrictions on pet sizes and breeds which are allowed around the property.
If you prefer a couples massage, book early. Many top masseuses book by name, so plan as soon as possible.
Know when it is possible to sign in and obtain your living space. In the event you don't check, the space might not be ready whenever you arrive. In the event you anticipate arriving before check-over time, create a call towards the hotel and inquire when you can arrive early.
If you venture out traveling a great deal, it's good to obtain registered for any hotel's loyalty program. They are exceptional benefits restricted to customers who frequently make use of a particular chain of hotels. Enjoy late take a look at, bonus upgrades and free nights using the loyalty paints you might have earned.
After you have the best knowledge available, you are able to make sure that you're booking the best hotel. It may seem to become a breeze. Simply be patient whilst keeping learning. www.squidoo.com/hatten-hotel-a-perfect-place-away-from-home
