Ethan was born with a specific genetic disorder (46,XY,der(2)del(2)(q24.3q24.3)inv(2)(q31.1q35)in which we can find no other cases. In our eyes he is perfect in every way, however he is fighting the effects of this disorder every day. The most prominent aspects of his disorder include epilepsy and developmental delay. Ethan has such low muscle tone that he cannot sit by himself at almost a year and a half old. He does not make much eye contact and he does not respond appropriately to his surroundings. We continue to do research on our own and tell our story to as many people so one day we may just stumble upon the right person at the right time that might have some answers. For now we just live each day for what it is, a lucky one to have him in our life. Thank you for reading our story and god bless.
Europa: Pasajes de Invierno, una instalación site specific de Florentino Díaz comisariada por Carlota Álvarez Basso para el programa de intervenciones Abierto x Obras, en la antigua cámara frigorífica de lo que fue el matadero municipal. La pieza se inscribe además en la programación de PhotoEspaña 2015.
La pieza conformada a partir de materiales de derribo, representa un barracón sobre el que no cesa de caer la lluvia. En su interior, pantallas de video nos muestran las imágenes de vidas anónimas del siglo XX, recogidas de álbumes encontrados en mercadillos, con el Winterreise (Viaje de invierno) de Schubert sonando de fondo. Según la comisaria Carlota Álvarez Basso, son “historias que hablan de los momentos de felicidad ajena que han caído en el olvido, de la fragilidad de nuestra existencia y de la inconsistencia de la memoria, tanto de la individual como de la colectiva”.
“El espectador debe recorrer estos pasajes de invierno a través de estos videos en los que, paradójicamente, no cabe imaginar el trágico destino que aguarda a sus protagonistas, y que nos hacen pensar en el incierto destino que nos espera” señala Florentino Díaz. Respecto al título, Díaz se inspira en El Libro de los Pasajes, el gran proyecto inacabado de Walter Benjamin, fallecido en 1940, que “cuestiona el desarrollo de una historia que hasta ese momento no había cumplido las expectativas de liberación humana, y que en sus ruinas mostraba la imposibilidad de alcanzar sus metas últimas”, explica el artista.
Las obras de Florentino Díaz (Cáceres - 1954) se caracterizan, desde los años 1990, por el uso de materiales e imágenes recuperadas, elementos aparentemente sencillos pero cargados de sentido y de connotación emocional. Desde hace muchos años Florentino Díaz ha ido guardando pequeños tesoros encontrados en el Rastro de Madrid o de las ciudades que visitaba en sus viajes. Objetos, libros, fotografías que a veces nos desvelan y otras se guardan los secretos de vidas e historias de otro tiempo. El artista es además un referente cuyo trabajo ha girado siempre en torno al concepto de lo doméstico, de la casa, concebida como un espacio cada vez más difícil de habitar. Sus instalaciones se han expuesto en centros nacionales e internacionales, como el CAB DE Burgos, MEIAC de Badajoz, Museo Barjola de Gijón, Casal Solleriç Espai 4 de Mallorca, Museo de Cáceres, Salón de los 16, Kunstamt Kreuzberg-Bethanien de Berlín, y en ferias como Art Cologne, MACO-MEXICO, Liste The Young Art Fair de Basel, Art Chicago, Busan Bienal de Corea. Y forma parte de colecciones privadas, museos e instituciones como CGAC de A Coruña, Colección La Caixa, Fundación Coca-Cola España, Colección Banco de España, Museo de Cáceres, entre otras.

This is what is known to the local as one of the few wild / jungle durian species in Borneo.
I am not too sure what is its specific name. Each time I asked the sellers they could only tell me it is a jungle durian. There are a couple of few more types of jungle durian species found here in Sarawak each with its unique outlook, colour, taste and smell. I personally much prefer them to those usual white / cream fleshed ones. I was fortunate enough to go home to Miri, Sarawak when the durian season was still on but almost coming to an end. Dad would buys us durians whenever I am home. I am not a fan of durian but I whenever I am back in my hometown jungle durians is in my must-eat list, because they really taste better than those common ones found everywhere and anywhere easily.
As for this species it is rather small in size, has long sharp spines, smells less prugent and it taste a bit like wine. That is the best I could describe about it.

📓 Sun Tzu - The Art of War:
Describes the nine common situations (or stages) in a campaign, from scattering to deadly, and the specific focus that a commander will need in order to successfully navigate them.
📝 Type: eDucational book
🎨 Style: Military Art
️ Read by Moira Fogarty
㊗️ Translator by Giles, Lionel
👩🏫 The Art of War (孫子兵法) is an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the Late Spring and Autumn Period (roughly 5th century BC). The work, which is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu ("Master Sun"), is composed of 13 chapters. Each one is devoted to a different set of skills or art related to warfare and how it applies to military strategy and tactics. For almost 1,500 years it was the lead text in an anthology that was formalized as the Seven Military Classics by Emperor Shenzong of Song in 1080. The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare and has influenced both Far Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy, politics, sports, lifestyles and beyond.
The book contains a detailed explanation and analysis of the 5th-century BC Chinese military, from weapons, environmental conditions, and strategy to rank and discipline. Sun also stressed the importance of intelligence operatives and espionage to the war effort. Considered one of history's finest military tacticians and analysts, his teachings and strategies formed the basis of advanced military training for millennia to come.
The book was translated into French and published in 1772 (re-published in 1782) by the French Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot. A partial translation into English was attempted by British officer Everard Ferguson Calthrop in 1905 under the title The Book of War. The first annotated English translation was completed and published by Lionel Giles in 1910. Military and political leaders such as the Chinese communist revolutionary Mao Zedong, Japanese daimyō Takeda Shingen, Vietnamese general Võ Nguyên Giáp, and American military generals Douglas MacArthur and Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. are all cited as having drawn inspiration from the book.

GETTING SPECIFIC - Dr. Rick Cartwright of the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, discusses a point in the research of Amerah Taleb, of Little Rock Central High School. She was presentng her Soybean Challenge research project at the Central Arkansas Science & Engineering Fair at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

The patrol race, specific to the cadet program, is tailor-made for cadets, because it puts more emphasis on teamwork, and on the interdependence between both teammates. Although they have to cover the ski loop at the same pace, they can also take advantage of each other's strengths on the shooting range and in the penalty loops. Indeed, the teammate who has the most difficulty to hit targets, can count on the other to complete the work by hitting his or her targets in crossfire. In addition, if they must ski penalty loops because of missed targets, the one with the greater physical endurance can perform loops, thus giving a break to the other teammate. Or they may share the task. Real teamwork!
Striding Place is site-specific research project; motivated by an ongoing word-of-mouth narrative surrounding a stretch of river in West Yorkshire. Research shows that the site was initially associated with mythologies of the Underworld and Mother Earth Dieties; derived from Roman, Greek and Celtic cultures. One can follow the progression of attitudes towards the site from spiritual & respectful, to fearful & accusatory.
Over the course of 12 months, my experience of the site has been enhanced by these narratives. Regularly travel-ling the 278 miles to reach the place I have come to feel as my own. Walking, sitting, and waiting with the river to see what it gives back in return.

The installation is near the stage area. During the play there were so many people that they spilled over from the stage area to right right next to the lotuses...it made my heart sing to see many taking pictures, and I taught a few people to make them too :)))))))
In the day this same place is very quite since it is at the back of the garden, only a few technicians maybe and birds, butterflies, carpentar bees, insects, ants, sun, breeze :)

Calendula officinalis, the pot marigold, common marigold, ruddles, Mary's gold or Scotch marigold, is a flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. It is probably native to southern Europe, though its long history of cultivation makes its precise origin unknown, and it may possibly be of garden origin.[clarification needed] It is also widely naturalised farther north in Europe (as far as southern England) and elsewhere in warm temperate regions of the world.
The Latin specific epithet officinalis refers to the plant's medicinal and herbal uses.
Description
Calendula officinalis is a short-lived aromatic herbaceous perennial, growing to 80 cm (31 in) tall, with sparsely branched lax or erect stems. The leaves are oblong-lanceolate, 5–17 cm (2–7 in) long, hairy on both sides, and with margins entire or occasionally waved or weakly toothed. The inflorescences are yellow, comprising a thick capitulum or flowerhead 4–7 cm (1+1⁄2–3 in) diameter surrounded by two rows of hairy bracts; in the wild plant they have a single ring of ray florets surrounding the central disc florets. The disc florets are tubular and hermaphrodite, and generally of a more intense orange-yellow colour than the female, tridentate, peripheral ray florets. The flowers may appear all year long where conditions are suitable. The fruit is a thorny curved achene and weight in average 10.1 mg (n=50).
Calendulas are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including cabbage moth, gothic moth, large yellow underwing, and setaceous Hebrew character.
Cultivation
Calendula officinalis is widely cultivated and can be grown easily in sunny locations in most kinds of soils. Although perennial, it is commonly treated as an annual, particularly in colder regions where its winter survival is poor, and in hot summer locations where it also does not survive.
Calendulas are considered by many gardening experts as among the easiest and most versatile flowers to grow in a garden, especially because they tolerate most soils. In temperate climates, seeds are sown in spring for blooms that last throughout the summer and well into the fall. In areas of limited winter freezing, seeds are sown in autumn for winter color. Plants will wither in subtropical summer. Seeds will germinate freely in sunny or half-sunny locations, but plants do best if planted in sunny locations with rich, well-drained soil. Pot marigolds typically bloom quickly from seed (in under two months) in bright yellows, golds, and oranges.
Leaves are spirally arranged, 5–18 cm (2–7 in) long, simple, and slightly hairy. The flower heads range from pastel yellow to deep orange, and are 3–7 cm (1+1⁄4–2+3⁄4 in) across, with both ray florets and disc florets. Most cultivars have a spicy aroma. It is recommended to deadhead (remove dying flower heads) the plants regularly to maintain even blossom production.
Cultivars
Numerous cultivars have been selected for variation in the flowers, from pale yellow to orange-red, and with 'double' or 'semi-double' flowerheads with ray florets replacing some or all of the disc florets. Examples include 'Alpha' (deep orange), 'Jane Harmony', 'Sun Glow' (bright yellow), 'Lemon' (pale yellow), 'Orange Prince' (orange), 'Indian Prince' (dark orange-red), 'Pink Surprise' (double, with inner florets darker than outer florets), 'Green-heart Gold' (double, bright yellow), 'Apricot Pygmy' (double light peach) and 'Chrysantha' (yellow, double). 'Variegata' is a cultivar with yellow variegated leaves.
The cultivar group 'Fiesta Gitana' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Uses
Pot marigold florets are edible. They are often used to add color to salads or added to dishes as a garnish and in lieu of saffron. The leaves are edible but are often not palatable. They have a history of use as a potherb and in salads. The plant is also used to make tea.
Flowers were used in ancient Greek, Roman, Middle Eastern, and Indian cultures as a medicinal herb, as well as a dye for fabrics, foods, and cosmetics. Many of these uses persist today. They are also used to make oil that protects the skin.
Marigold leaves can also be made into a poultice that is believed to help scratches and shallow cuts to heal faster, and to help prevent infection. It has also been used in eye drops.
Constituents
The petals and pollen of Calendula officinalis contain triterpenoid esters and the carotenoids flavoxanthin and auroxanthin (antioxidants and the source of the yellow-orange coloration). The leaves and stems contain other carotenoids, mostly lutein (80%), zeaxanthin (5%), and beta-carotene.[citation needed] Plant extracts are also widely used in cosmetics, presumably due to presence of compounds such as saponins, resins, and essential oils.
The flowers of Calendula officinalis contain flavonol glycosides, triterpene oligoglycosides, oleanane-type triterpene glycosides, saponins, and a sesquiterpene glucoside.[ Calendula flowers are a rich source of lutein, containing 29.8 mg/100g.
Potential pharmacology
Plant pharmacological studies have suggested that Calendula extracts may have anti-viral, anti-genotoxic, and anti-inflammatory properties in vitro. In an in vitro assay, the methanol extract of C. officinalis exhibited antibacterial activity and both the methanol and the ethanol extracts showed antifungal activities.

Europa: Pasajes de Invierno, una instalación site specific de Florentino Díaz comisariada por Carlota Álvarez Basso para el programa de intervenciones Abierto x Obras, en la antigua cámara frigorífica de lo que fue el matadero municipal. La pieza se inscribe además en la programación de PhotoEspaña 2015.
La pieza conformada a partir de materiales de derribo, representa un barracón sobre el que no cesa de caer la lluvia. En su interior, pantallas de video nos muestran las imágenes de vidas anónimas del siglo XX, recogidas de álbumes encontrados en mercadillos, con el Winterreise (Viaje de invierno) de Schubert sonando de fondo. Según la comisaria Carlota Álvarez Basso, son “historias que hablan de los momentos de felicidad ajena que han caído en el olvido, de la fragilidad de nuestra existencia y de la inconsistencia de la memoria, tanto de la individual como de la colectiva”.
“El espectador debe recorrer estos pasajes de invierno a través de estos videos en los que, paradójicamente, no cabe imaginar el trágico destino que aguarda a sus protagonistas, y que nos hacen pensar en el incierto destino que nos espera” señala Florentino Díaz. Respecto al título, Díaz se inspira en El Libro de los Pasajes, el gran proyecto inacabado de Walter Benjamin, fallecido en 1940, que “cuestiona el desarrollo de una historia que hasta ese momento no había cumplido las expectativas de liberación humana, y que en sus ruinas mostraba la imposibilidad de alcanzar sus metas últimas”, explica el artista.
Las obras de Florentino Díaz (Cáceres - 1954) se caracterizan, desde los años 1990, por el uso de materiales e imágenes recuperadas, elementos aparentemente sencillos pero cargados de sentido y de connotación emocional. Desde hace muchos años Florentino Díaz ha ido guardando pequeños tesoros encontrados en el Rastro de Madrid o de las ciudades que visitaba en sus viajes. Objetos, libros, fotografías que a veces nos desvelan y otras se guardan los secretos de vidas e historias de otro tiempo. El artista es además un referente cuyo trabajo ha girado siempre en torno al concepto de lo doméstico, de la casa, concebida como un espacio cada vez más difícil de habitar. Sus instalaciones se han expuesto en centros nacionales e internacionales, como el CAB DE Burgos, MEIAC de Badajoz, Museo Barjola de Gijón, Casal Solleriç Espai 4 de Mallorca, Museo de Cáceres, Salón de los 16, Kunstamt Kreuzberg-Bethanien de Berlín, y en ferias como Art Cologne, MACO-MEXICO, Liste The Young Art Fair de Basel, Art Chicago, Busan Bienal de Corea. Y forma parte de colecciones privadas, museos e instituciones como CGAC de A Coruña, Colección La Caixa, Fundación Coca-Cola España, Colección Banco de España, Museo de Cáceres, entre otras.
Abierto x Obras
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que incentiva el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero. Desde 2007 Abierto x Obras ha acogido las intervenciones de artistas como Daniel Canogar, Jannis Kounnellis, Román Signer, Carlos Garaicoa, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, Jordi Colomer, Los Carpinteros, Cristina Lucas, o Eugenio Ampudia, entre otros. Próximamente se podrá disfrutar del trabajo del artista británico Haroon Mirza.

A new world-class research and technology facility to support the growth of a new industry centre in Wales is to be opened in June by Mrs Edwina Hart, MBE CStJ AM, Minister for Economy, Science and Transport. The facility, based in Baglan, South Wales has been made possible by the SUPER project (SPECIFIC Up-scaling Pilot Engineering Resource) which has received almost £2 million funding through the Welsh Government’s Academic Expertise For Business programme (A4B).
After my little accident involving a broken wrist joint out the gate, I restored some functionality to the figure and did a photoshoot. Still waiting for a response from Mondo, though I don't think it should be an issues getting things restored from their end.
So taking away the various Teela specific QC issues, what do we have? A pretty typical Mondo product - I like the overall sculpting job better than She Ran, which to be fair was their first female MOTU release. Definitely a much better shelf presence, and unlike She Ra, Teela actually attended Arm day. Of the three sculpts, the 200X is probably the best, though arguably speaking the only one that's not so great is the angry expression, which still works f you have the right conditions.
Great work out the outfit itself. It's no more or less complicated than She Ra, I'd say, but I think it's probably more accurate to say the complication is all focused on the chest and arms. It's unfortunate that it appears that Teela does, for pretty much all her incarnations she really does wear boots that stop short of the knee, which is unfortunate as a higher boot could have really blocked those knees from view.
Similarly, some beautiful sculpting work was applied to the accessories.
Articulation wise, well, it's not a Hot Toy True Type body. By American figure standards, it's not too bad. Butterfly joints would probably too much of an ask, so I'd settle for at least better than a simple 90 degree elbow bend - this isn't the 1980's anymore. Between the choice of materials and built in articulation, at least I was able to get Teela to sit in a chair.
Paint work is an area that I feel was improved over She Ra. Ever so slightly. For starters, I didn't have any issues with lip stick on the wrong side of her face. Everything sees to be in place, relatively clean work and all. Skin tone matching is still an issue, though. There's the body and the unpainted joints, which is tolerable if you don't stare too hard. But there's a disrepency between the faces and the body, and on the non 200X heads, the red around the eyes is too strong. But again, all things considered and the source, it's not too bad.
Build Quality wise... I'm not even going to start. Widely documented all around. I will just add that the heads are a pain in the ass to get back on the ball joint, and pretty much all her accessories are warped, with the exception of the Sword/Sheath and the Shield - I'll even give credit to the Snake staff, as it's warped by nature and I can't actually tell. The Snake helmet thing is warped to one side, and you see very easily that the Spear is warped.

curadoria Bruno de Almeida
A Galeria Leme apresenta o terceiro site-specific comissionado para o projeto SITU, curado por Bruno de Almeida, dando continuidade a uma pesquisa mais ampla sobre formas de pensar e discutir a produção do espaço (urbano) através de um diálogo entre arte, arquitetura e cidade.
SITU convida o artista Venezuelano Ricardo Alcaide a conceber uma obra que resulte de uma reflexão sobre o contexto urbano entendido como ampla matriz físico-social, e que se relacione simultaneamente com o exterior do edifício da galeria e com o espaço público contíguo.
Ricardo Alcaide projeta um grande volume geométrico negro que ocupa quase a totalidade do pátio externo da galeria. A face que se apresenta para o transeunte se desenvolve em rampa desde o chão, mais próximo à calçada, se elevando até ao topo da parede ao fundo do pátio e chegando a seis metros de altura. O volume disseca diagonalmente as fachadas da galeria, anulando o espaço externo e bloqueando quase inteiramente as duas entradas para o edifício. Para a construção deste elemento monumental o artista usa uma madeira vulgarmente utilizada na construção civil como estrutura para moldes de concreto in loco, o mesmo processo de construção das paredes da galeria.
Devido à obstrução do acesso habitual ao edifício, Alcaide desloca a entrada para a fachada oposta, utilizando uma porta que se encontra habitualmente fechada. Este novo acesso faz referência à entrada original do primeiro projeto da galeria, do arquiteto Paulo Mendes da Rocha, construída em 2004 e depois demolida em 2011 para dar lugar à sua réplica, a estrutura que existe hoje. Com a realocação e a reorientação do edifício, o projeto inicial foi readaptado e consequentemente a inversão da entrada foi incorporada.
Através da ocupação e quase inutilização de um espaço (semi)público e da consequente adaptação do percurso de entrada, Ricardo Alcaide induz a um reexame da relação física do visitante com o edifício e subverte o funcionamento normal da instituição. Criando uma circunstância espacial que se localiza no limiar entre conflito e uma espécie de institucionalização da provisoriedade, o artista tira partido da fricção entre rigidez e improviso institucional que está frequentemente presente na nossa experiência da cidade, se materializando comumente no encontro entre a arquitetura “oficial" e as construções improvisadas que cumulativamente se acoplam a esta e são resultados de pactos territoriais paralelos à própria ordem jurídico-normativa oficial.

Informal Order
curated by Bruno de Almeida
Galeria Leme presents the third site-specific commissioned for SITU, curated by Bruno de Almeida, giving continuity to a broader research on ways of thinking and discussing the production of (urban) space through a dialogue between art, architecture and city.
SITU invites Venezuelan artist Ricardo Alcaide to devise a work that results from a reflection on the urban context understood as a broad physical-social matrix, and that simultaneously relates to the exterior of the gallery’s building and to the adjacent public space.
Ricardo Alcaide designs a large black geometric volume that occupies almost the entire outdoor patio of the gallery. The face that presents itself to the passersby develops in ramp from the ground, closer to the sidewalk, rising up to six meters until the top of the wall at the back of the courtyard. The volume diagonally dissects the gallery facades, nullifying the external space and almost entirely blocking the two entrances to the building. For the construction of this monumental element the artist uses a wood that is commonly used in construction as a framework for molds of in situ concrete, the same construction process of the gallery’s walls.
Due to the obstruction of the normal access into the building, Alcaide displaces the entry to the opposite facade, using a door which is customarily closed. This new access refers to the original entry of the gallery’s first project, from architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha, built in 2004 and then demolished in 2011 to make way for its replica, the structure that exists today. With the relocation and reorientation of the building the initial project was readapted and consequently the reversal of the entrance was incorporated.
Through the occupation and almost obliteration of a (semi)public space and the subsequent adaptation of the entrance route, Ricardo Alcaide induces a reexamination of the visitor's physical relationship with the building and subverts the normal functioning of the institution. Creating a spatial condition that is located on the threshold of conflict and an “institutionalization” of provisionality, the artist takes advantage of the friction between rigidity and institutional improvisation that is often present in our experience of the city, commonly materializing itself in the clash between the “official” architecture and the makeshift constructions that are cumulatively coupled to it, being the result of territorial pacts that are parallel to the official legal-normative order.

Severn Trent Water boundary box covers, often today, denoting where an external water meter for a specific property is located.
Severn Trent Water Authority was formed by the 1973 Water Act which merged 29 river authorities covering England and Wales and a further 160 water supply undertakers, and no less than 1,300 sewage treatment authorities into ten Water Authorities. In 1989, following privatisation, the "authority" was dropped and the company became Severn Trent Plc., the parent company for Severn Trent Water (STW).
