[10/365] Scribble, scribble, scribble. Sometimes my notes are full of colours (more accurately, they use only the four colours found on Bic's 4-in-1) but today it's all in black. Nothing like the stress of exams to encourage the idea of learning.
The soil survey of the Northern Emirates, United Arab Emirates (UAE) was conducted during 2010 – 2012. The Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) in partnership with the Ministry of Environment and Water (MOEW) implemented the Soil Survey through GRM International. The project was funded by the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, and its objective was to develop a digital soil information repository to aid in broad land-use planning and agricultural expansion in the Northern Emirates.
The survey used Geographic Information Systems, satellite image processing, and field mapping to produce a Soil Information System. Scientific and technical standards, including the soil classification system and nomenclature, were based on those of the USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service. These standards have been used in other Gulf Cooperation Council countries, such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Sultanate of Oman, State of Kuwait, State of Qatar, and more recently in the Abu Dhabi soil survey project in the UAE. The project was completed at scale of 1:50,000.
A number of thematic maps, including suitability for irrigated agriculture, salinity, and current land use, were generated as part of the project. The Abu Dhabi Soils Information System (ADSIS) was expanded and enhanced and renamed to United Arab Emirates Soils Information System (UAESIS), to assist in the storage, processing, retrieval, and management of the national soil-related information.
Information from the soil survey is expected to be used by various groups, including the agricultural farming community, decision makers, land-use planners, officials, engineers, and environmental impact assessors. Conservationists and specialists in recreation, wildlife management, waste disposal, and pollution control will also use the soil information to help understand, protect and enhance the environment.
The report and maps provide a detailed assessment and account of soil in the Northern Emirates and are a fitting accompaniment to the Soil Survey of the Abu Dhabi Emirate. Finally, the project produced a national soil map of the United Arab Emirates, by compiling results from this survey, the soil survey of Abu Dhabi completed in 2010, and the soil map of Dubai developed in 2003.
It's like a pencil with erasers at both ends. I want it all but we're dealing with percents. And these activities that you have engaged in. This is the politics of seeing you dance with him. We begin with concluding remarks. Break up the pieces and examine the parts. Your words always cut when they're cliche. So here's my knife because I came for the buffet. This is the way it goes with you apart of it. Nervously saying words that oh-so-tightly fit. A mark beneath the chin. I've caught you once again. It's in the way you sell every word and phrase. And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs. Saying that but meaning this. Using hands for emphasis. You'd like to think that you're the best part of me. But I confess, there is nothing left of you here. These parallels and silly games hide your face and say the name. There's that smile again, you fake it and I follow you right in. What a fool I've been to fall for it each time.

Well, it was a wonderful day here at the house of Hudson. He was gone for most of the day, but while he was here, he was a very good boy! Santa will be extra happy to hear that! With my extra time tonight I decided it might be a good idea to learn a little more about the family that I am spending the next few weeks with. I perused some photo books with all kinds of funny pictures. A couple things I definitely can tell from the pictures, at least the ones that I saw, are that Hudson's daddy seems to be a really silly guy, and that Hudson's mommy is a great mommy to have! But most importantly, I could tell from looking at these pictures that Santa sent me to the house of a very good little boy! I am so super-DEE-duper excited to watch over Hudson this year, I could almost give up milk and cookies for a week!
For Tenderpixel's 2014 summer break, we turned over the gallery space to Andrea Zucchini, London-based artist. As a result of the residency he presents his work in a solo exhib
ition, Alchemical Studies, from 6 to 20 September.
In his practice, Andrea Zucchini juxtaposes geological, cosmological and psychic processes, exploring how they are intertwined and can be accessed through one another. Using the notion of containment, he investigates the intimate correspondence between the micro- and macrocosm, alluding to them being analogous structures.
Zucchini ́s working method, which implies an appreciative approach to matter and its autonomous significance, is applied to the relationship with any material, be it iron, plaster, archival footage or text. At the core of his practice lies an interrogation into the metaphorical value of materials, both within their natural and cultural histories. By bringing these two domains together he intends to deconstruct the nature-culture dichotomy.
The sculptural pieces disclose multilayered narratives. Most recent works address themes such as the primitive sexualisation of matter and the marriage of substances, as described in the ancient practice of Alchemy.
Organic shapes attract me just now. First it was pears, now it's leaves. I need to go out and find a few more interesting leaves before they disappear into Winter.
We visited Hemingway's house in Cuba, Finca Vigia. It was quite lovely, though we had to shoot in through windows (for an extra 5 CUCs (about $6)) for fear of people stealing things.
