Call me Snake offers an optimistic provocation – ‘imagine what could be here’ by Judy Millar. On a walk into the city October 3, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.
The work is comprised of vibrant graphics of Millar’s looped paintings, which are adhered to five intersecting flat planes, and draws inspiration from the forms found in pop-up books. The colourful piece will add a dramatic and rhythmic counterpoint to the city’s current urban landscape — a mix of flattened sites, construction zones and defiant buildings that have stood through the quakes. The work employs theatricality, playfulness and visual trickery, whereby the viewer is unsure about the work’s flatness or three-dimensionality; and it has been designed to offer a different perspective from each angle. The bright colours interrupt the grey of the work’s surrounds, and as buildings pop up around it,
SCAPE 8, New Intimacies curated by Rob Garrett was a contemporary art event which mixed new artworks with existing legacy pieces, an education programme, and a public programme of events. The SCAPE 8 artworks were located around central Christchurch and linked via a public art walkway. All aspects of SCAPE 8 were free-to-view.
The title for the 2015 Biennial – New Intimacies – came from the idea that visually striking and emotionally engaging public art works can create new connections between people and places. Under the main theme of New Intimacies there are three other themes that artists responded to: Sight-Lines, Inner Depths and Shared Strengths.

Nessie's Canadian cousin (and actually an older legend!), the Ogopogo lives in a lake in British Columbia. This one somehow manages to happily fit in a bathtub. I suspect that most cryptids, including our friend here, are pan-dimensional.
(Yes, yes, we're way behind. This one is last-last Thursday's.)

New art i did recently ... i was feeling very uneasy about returning to casual work after my maternity leave. Staying home with my 2 little ones during the day and leaving to work 2 evenings a week ... Balancing life .... then i remembered to remain OPTIMISTIC. because that's who I am.
Today while visiting some nearby native firebush plants (Hamelia patens) I found this very optimistic honey bee trying to get nectar. Hummingbirds and green orchid bees can reach the nectar easily but it seems like a stretch for a honey bee-sized proboscis! She worked up a thirst collecting all that pollen.

They didn't last long, a thunderstorm came through a few minutes after they set out, so they had to turn around and get off the water.

WINNIPEG, Canada – Dr. Sean Ceaser, a prominent naturopathic doctor based in Winnipeg, Canada, is optimistic about the use of PEMF treatment for many conditions including pain and cancer, including the treatment of breast cancer.
Traditional cancer treatment has improved dramatically in recent years, but still, there is no definitive breakthrough and the use of very invasive forms of treatment for the patient are commonplace and these treatments are riddled with side-effects. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) is a non-invasive and drug-free therapy that complements other standard therapies and, together with a comprehensive alternative and complementary cancer treatment plan, can aid the process of helping to stop the progression of cancer.
In a recent study, women with locally spread breast cancer, stage III (stage T3, N1 – N3) and no metastases (M0) all had standard therapy in sequence, including (a) preoperative radiation of the breast and adjacent areas, combined with chemotherapy, (b) radical resection the breast, and (c) postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. In the time before the first phase of treatment, that is, before radiation, one group had multiple exposures of medium strength PEMF therapy added, and one group did not. Follow-up was done looking for x-ray changes in the primary tumour and regional lymph nodes, and then later, biopsy changes in the primary tumour tissue. The PEMF-treated women did not have any side effects. X-ray response in the PEMF group was seen in 87% and 82% in those without PEMF. There was less regional cancer spread in the PEMF group than those without, 97% improved versus only 52% without PEMF. In the PEMF group, 42% had total regression of the tumour, and 46% had partial tumour regression. Regression or reduction of regional metastasis was seen in 90%. Even the biopsies after surgery found more tumour destruction in 56% with versus 48% without PEMF therapy. So, the use of PEMFs in stage III breast cancer patients, along with radiation and chemotherapy preoperatively, produced considerably better results.
“Pulsed electromagnetic therapy (PEMF) has great potential in many conditions including musculoskeletal injuries and cancer, including the treatment of breast cancer, a disease that can be of concern for women diagnosed with it or have a strong family history of the disease,” said Dr. Sean Ceaser. “Although traditional treatments, including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other estrogen-blocking therapies have helped many women in their battle with cancer, there is much more that can be done to improve outcomes. Chemotherapy, in particular can be very harming and a study in 2018 by Stanford University showed that chemotherapy is completely ineffective for a large portion of women suffering from breast cancer. Is there a better, less harmful way for women who are suffering from intermediate to low risk breast cancer? I believe there is and PEMF treatments along with naturopathic IV therapies, hyperthermia and a complete treatment plan that takes into account the person we are treating and not just the disease can allow for effective non-harmful management and treatment of breast cancer.”

It is Independeance Day, but I think unity is a better guiding principle. I think dialogue, cooperation, and understanding will get us much further than independence at this point in our history. I am optimistic that we can do better, we can't do any worse.

My favorite photo, out of all I took on this trip.
I like the expression on the guitarist/singer, the absorbedness of the drummer, the kid peeking from behind the pole, the blue of the mural in the background...
Like every parent, I want a better future for my kids. They are my world. As we take our next steps that means securing jobs, the economy, and the environment. Despite the numerous challenges we face, I remain optimistic about our future because Canadians are ready to meet these challenges.
Comme tous les parents, je veux un avenir meilleur pour mes enfants. Ils sont tout pour moi. Nous passons aux prochaines étapes pour protéger les emplois, l’économie et l’environnement. Malgré les nombreux défis auxquels nous faisons face, je reste optimiste quant à notre avenir parce que les Canadiens sont prêts à relever ces défis.
