ITU/ Claudio Montesano Casillas
Vie difficile de Francisco Madero. Dans la cohue de l'univers le puzzle de l'existence de Francisco Madero s'organise peu à peu.
Prologue: la pensée fixe ses propres limites - les cruautés des hommes dépendent de leurs sens. La vérité n'est ni pessimiste ni optimiste; Francisco Madero est venu au monde le jour où les feuilles commençaient à tomber. Astrologie: se dit du cancer.
Physique: une profonde peine dans le regard, un nez crochu, une crinière brillante de gel, retombant sur son nez. Ses traits sont assez ingrats… une peau de couleur saine; un grand front couleur ivoire… de saines dents blanches.
Sentiments: son amitié avec Salvador Novo est fragile, elle s'appuie davantage sur le passé que sur la confiance dans le présent… passe de longues heures avec François Couperin.
Goûts: a un amour aliéné pour les ombres. Ne connaît qu'un seul livre: "Autobiographie érotique" de Paul Benderson, la musique de François Couperin lui procure d'immenses plaisirs, Francisco Madero aime par dessus tout la peinture et spécialement “Le Portrait d'Émilie Flöge” de Gustave Klimt; Francisco Madero peut passer des heures à réfléchir sur des locutions anglaises comme "no knowledge" ou "woman nothing".
Rêves: c'est au détroit de Gibraltar que Francisco Madero se sent le mieux.
Haines: Francisco Madero a toujours refusé de rencontrer Oriane Proust.
Métier: pour Francisco Madero l'art est la seule chose qui puisse compter dans une existence.
Généralités: a épuisé toutes les possibilité érotiques de Salamis.
N'a qu'un enfant, qu'il ne voit presque plus depuis qu'il fait ses études - n'a jamais rien pu inventer. Francisco Madero écrit des pièces vocales pour Michael Howe.
Pensée: une phrase d'Emma Fournier lui revient en tête : "personne ne ressemble assez à un autre pour que l'on se comprenne tout à fait".

Traditional Indonesian wooden lumbung and artefacts
A lumbung is a small wooden hut used by farmers in Indonesia to store harvested rice and protect it from the elements and pests. Self-taught artist Rosid converted a lumbung into a multi-functional space which acts as a library, prayer room and gathering point for the community in Bandung which it now serves. The exterior of this lumbung is decorated with farming implements, which, together with the structure, are a tribute to the artist's lineage as an anak petani (a son of farmers). Rosid intended Lumbung Ilmu to be his personal sanctuary, but it has become a repository of personal and cultural values and traditions which are fast vanishing today, and a material manifestation of his desire to share these values and his love for learning with the wider community.

"What Color is your city" on the one hand is a progress report about the Japanese National Project on innovative Robot Service. On the other hand it's a pilot experiment of social art for graphical interpretation of latent urban structures and attractions through digitally visualizing casual behavior of visitors and habitants in cities, using the Japanese-friendly tool “Uchiwa.”

President Mahinda Rajapaksa made an inspection tour of the construction site of the “Knowledge Park” (former Tripoli Market) in Pettah yesterday (Augsut 6) morning. The complete cost is estimated to be around 7 million US dollars where knowledge-based industries will be allowed to setup of their operations. The first stage construction work in the 25 acre land plot has now been completed. Mahinda Chinthana future vision envisages to make Sri Lanka a knowledge hub in Asia. The government expects to earn a revenue of one thousand million US dollars from the information sector by the year 2016. In order to achieve this target the knowledge park complex will also be developed as a city consisting business research institutions.

If school backpacks can transmit as much knowledge to their owners as they seem able to hold to their owners, the 252 girls and boys at Queen’s Nursery and Primary School next to UN House in Juba, some only marginally bigger than their bags, have a bright future.
To promote girl power and progress on the International Day of the Girl Child, female police officers serving with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan visited the school and offered a variety of inspirational activities and revelations.
“Believe it or not, but I was once a small girl just like you! If you look around you, the other uniformed women here have also been children, dreaming of becoming adults. Now we have grown up and become what we wanted to be, by studying hard and following our dreams,” the peacekeeping mission’s Police Commissioner Unaisi Lutu Vuniwaqa confided –even before reaching her main message:
“All of you can become whatever you decide that you want to be. Your future is in your hands, just work hard to make the most of your education,” she added, and stressed that boys and men have an important role to play in supporting and allowing girls to flourish and reach their full potential.
A show of hands, prompted by the Police Commissioner, demonstrated that South Sudanese schools and law enforcement agencies won’t suffer from a lack of future candidates as the pupils of Queen’s School become fully fledged adults.
These preliminary findings were quickly confirmed by 14-year-old Lili John and one year younger Stella Gibson.
“Today is important because going to school gives us knowledge, and I want to become a teacher,” Lili said, still a bit unsure about what subject she would like to teach.
Truck drivers in the country are unlikely to be able to welcome Stella to their fold, but may still get to know her in another capacity.
“A police officer, that’s what I want to be. A strong one,” she added for clarification.
Patience is a necessary virtue for anyone nurturing learning children or putting criminal individuals back on the straight and narrow path of a righteous life. The same will be true for those wishing the mango tree sapling planted on Thursday’s occasion to grow fast to provide the school site with much-needed shade as quickly as possible.
The little fellow, unless it was a girl to mark the day, maybe 20 centimeters tall, was at least given a cheerful start to life, with students, teachers, community leaders and UN police officers willing it on by dancing and singing the infectious and quite possibly recently composed tune “Shake, shake, the mango tree, one for you and one for me.”
Stoical, discerning mango lovers may, however, one day be in luck and see their shares of the spoils grow significantly. Chances are that the little newcomer may soon be accompanied by another 45 tree saplings recently donated to the school by the UN Mission’s environmental engineers. That gift was part of the Carbon Sink Joint Project between UNMISS and the government of South Sudan.

"All truth and knowledge is important, but amidst the constant distractions of our daily lives, we must especially pay attention to increasing our gospel knowledge so we can understand how to apply gospel principles to our lives. As our gospel knowledge increases, we will begin to feel confident in our testimonies and be able to state: I know it.'" (Anne M. Dibbs). Model Kelsey Garry. (Photo by Karen Petitt)
Mark Weislogel
NASA’s go-to problem solver
Liquids in zero gravity don’t pour, don’t spill and don’t drip. But PSU mechanical and materials engineering professor and former NASA scientist Mark Weislogel found a way to make them behave.
An expert in fluid dynamics, Weislogal has designed numerous experiments performed by astronauts aboard the International Space Station. He and his students used complex mathematics to design a coffee cup that allows liquids to be sipped instead of sucked from a tube. That’s great news for coffee-loving astronauts, and the science behind it has implications for space travel that are out of this world.
At Portland State University, we believe knowledge works best when it serves the community.
