A young child’s understanding of war and violence differs from an adult’s in many ways that only maturity and understanding of consequences could alter. Young boys play war and recreate the battles they see in film, comics, video games, and sometimes artwork, and I wish to rebuild many of these moments of playful violence.
Art history is teeming with charismatic imagery of war and violence. When studying artwork from artists such as John Trumbull, Jacques-Louis David, and Benjamin West, one notices its obvious positive portrayal through beauty and righteousness. This perspective of war continues in present-day via media and entertainment. I am interested in the childhood understanding and incorporation of violence into playful activities. As a child I took what I saw in art museums and in the media and inserted it into the games I played with neighborhood children. We assimilated the rules of games we learned at school—such as capture the flag and tag football—into games of war. Teams would be created and separated by colored streamers and banners.
The lack of life-or-death consequences that we experienced made real military battles seem appealing to us, and it is this perspective I wish to bring through with the images. It is a body of work full of fighting and chaos, yet there is no blood or physical harm being done to any participants. Children refrain from hurting each other to keep the game going, but this also goes to show that a child’s understanding of war is without consideration of its outcome.
The end result is a body of work that brings a generation of young men and women into the same playing field and portrays the absurdity and idealism of such activities. I wanted to use my own pastimes and games that were played in the neighborhood of my youth. Using the same locations and structures I used in my own childhood I was hoping to stage my own memories of playful actions. This reenactment of mature activities has been repeated through many people’s back yards and playgrounds and I question if the longing for military glory fades with adulthood.
LS cylinder heads were the most powerful and advanced cylinder heads introduced by General Motors. They were lightweight, made from aluminium, and designed to bolt up to LS engines. The power of these LS cylinder heads can be determined by the fact that they feature 259 CC intake and 102 CC exhaust runners. There were also 72 CC combustion chambers and 2.1 65" intake, and a 1.600" exhaust valve. The design is created in such a way that LS heads can assemble easily with valve springs, retainers, locks, guide plates, studs, and even seals. The outcome of this design was the benefits like economic availability yet maximum output. There were ported heads also mainly designed and produced in the form of fully assembled and heavy-duty components.
These LS cylinder heads are compatible with most of the LS series engines manufactured by General Motors, and one of them is the LS7 engine. This engine comes with some high-end engine specifications like –
Unique High-Flow
CNC-Ported
Square Port
Cylinder heads and intake are manifold in this series
Intake valves are made up of titanium
1.8 ratio rockers are present
The camshaft has a really long-duration high lift
Deck plates are used for block machining performing to increase accuracy
The oiling system is of a really high capacity and dry sump
When all these features combine with the power of versatile LS heads, they can make an LS engine generate a whopping capacity of 7100 RPM.
How to Install LS Cylinder Heads?
The first recommendation here is to rely upon highly established car mechanics for the same. They will follow a step-by-step approach for the installation procedure and ensure that an oil and coolant leak situation does not occur. Here is the detail of the installation process followed for installing LS cylinder heads.
Step – 1
The first step is to press new dowel pins into the engine blocks. There are two dowel pins per side in holes 7 and 8. They have to align the head to the block and this has to be done without fail before installing cylinder heads. To align the dowel pins perfectly, the team might have to tap them gently with a hammer.
Step – 2
Step 2 will involve cleaning the deck surface and placing the head gasket on the block while making sure that the appropriate direction is chosen.
Step - 3
Again the deck surface of the LS head will have to be cleaned using a clean cloth and acetone, and then, the cylinder head is carefully placed on the head gasket.
Step - 4
Now it's time to install the bolt fingers really tight and when done, the task of LS 3 heads and LS1 heads installation is over.

Clearing out the loft today. Came across a binder full of these:
I had them at school, probably in my second year, which would be late 1967 or early 1968.
Beautiful. hand drawn artwork from before the age of Photoshop.
Packed full of explanations of all the basic scientific principles. I learnt an incredible amount from these.
Andy and Samson weren't friends at the beginning. Andy was insanely allergic, and therefore miserable 99% of the time he was around Samson. They were both complete assholes to each other for at least the first six months of living together. But at some point, I believe it was during some scary thunderstorms while I was away on business, Samson and Andy bonded. And they developed a mutual understanding. Samson lets Andy make him dance like a puppet, flip him upside down, and generally harrass him, as long as Andy continues to give him the best damn back scratches he's ever known. Andy finally adjusted to Samson, his allergies went away, and they're great friends now.
Understanding population dynamics is critical to avoiding static perceptions of human and environmental vulnerability. Changes that affect the size, distribution, and composition of human populations also affect both the nature of vulnerability and adjustments in natural or human systems in response to environmental change.
‘The Demography of Adaptation to Climate Change,’ a new edited volume from the United Nations Population Fund, International Institute for Environment and Development, and El Colegio de Mexico explores these themes. Three of the book’s contributors share perspectives on the importance of population dynamics for adaptation, ways to use available population and census data in assessing vulnerability and resilience, and the application of these approaches for urban vulnerability and adaptation in Malawi and Indonesia.

King knows their is something different going on in the pasture but he is not sure what it is. His mother is in season and a stallion has been placed in the pasture with him and his mother. Suzy was quite alarmed when she seen the stallion coming up behind me, I didn't realize that they can be quite dangerous when they are in this mood.
BILL MOYERS: You say, "…the way the human mind is built, antipathy can impede comprehension." Rationality. "Hating protestors, flag burners and even terrorists makes it harder to understand them well enough to keep others from joining their ranks."
ROBERT WRIGHT: It's a tricky balance to strike because on the one hand, understanding terrorists and how they became terrorists, which is in our interests if we want to discourage the creation of more terrorists, tends to involve a kind of sympathy that in turn can lead you to say they are not to blame for what they did.
And you don't want to say that because as a practical matter you have to punish people when you can when they do bad things. So you don't want to let go of the idea of moral culpability but you do need to kind of put yourself in their heads. And that is really a great challenge in the modern world.
One of the great scientific challenges of our time is understanding how the human mind works, and where intelligence comes from. Recently, we've made progress building systems that help advance our understanding -- through the field of artificial intelligence. With artificial intelligence, we have a chance to build a new generation of apps and services that are more natural, intuitive, and valuable. Today we launched a new app called Moments that helps you sync photos with your friends. Moments recognizes which of your friends are in the photos you take, and lets you share those photos with those people in one tap. If you use it, your friends will sync to you a lot of the photos of you they have hidden in their camera rolls. This is a simple example of AI at work. By building a system that learned to recognize people and objects in images, we could enable this new service. Now imagine a system that can identify words on a screen for a blind person and read them aloud, help an autistic child to decipher facial expressions, or identify street signs in one language and instantly translate them to another. Those are just a few more of the applications that image recognition technology driven by AI can already help us achieve. In the years ahead, artificial intelligence and image recognition have the chance to make the internet far more useful for everyone. You can learn more about how we're working to help build them in the video below. twitter.com/markzuckvideos ift.tt/2i2KiTx ift.tt/2hTFQIO ift.tt/2i2SOBT

One of the things that really astounds me about GSD's is their intelligence level. I can actually talk to Kelly and ask her something in a form of a sentence and she makes eye contact and understands and responds if necessary. You can see it in their eyes, they understand us quite well.
I wanted a moody shot, so I processed this into BW.

Understanding Leeds Most Common Crimes
Leeds is the largest city in the county if West Yorkshire, that is highly popular and known for its shopping, nightlife, universities, and sport. It is a city also known for its parks and beautiful green spaces that make it a very appealing city for tourists and visitors.
However, in past years Leeds has been known and recognized for its high crime rate. This is something that has reflected negatively on the city, deterring visitors and impacting on Leeds residents’ movements around the city. Despite Leeds’s crime ridden past, the past year or so has shown an overall decline in crimes committed, with a 2.6 per cent reduction in offences in West Yorkshire in 2019/20, and around 7,600 fewer victims, according to the West Yorkshire Police.
What are these crimes that are still being committed?
New police data, obtained by the Yorkshire Evening Post under the Freedom of Information (FOI) ACT, has revealed the nine most commonly recorded crimes in north Leeds wards from April 2019 to March 2020. Here they are:
1. Violence Without Injury
There were a total of 5,335 violent crimes without injury recorded in Leeds within this time frame.
2. Burglary – Residential
There were 2,188 residential burglaries recorded in Leeds from April 2019 to March 2020.
There are three main types of burglary, they are: opportunistic burglary, targeted/planned burglary, and distraction burglary...

Living in Transit: The Thinkers of a World in Turmoil
War looms over Europe, uncertainty seeps into everyday life, and the weight of history presses upon the present. The world is burning, and yet—there are those who seek understanding, those who bury themselves in the quiet refuge of books, the dim glow of libraries, the solitude of knowledge.
This series captures the introspective minds of young academic women—readers, thinkers, seekers. They wander through old university halls, their fingers tracing the spines of forgotten books, pulling out volumes of poetry, philosophy, and psychology. They drink coffee, they drink tea, they stay up late with ink-stained fingers, trying to decipher the world through words.
They turn to Simone Weil for moral clarity, Hannah Arendt for political insight, Rilke for existential wisdom. They read Baudrillard to untangle the illusions of modernity, Byung-Chul Han to understand society’s exhaustion, Camus to grasp the absurdity of it all. They devour Celan’s poetry, searching for beauty in catastrophe.
But they do not just read—they reflect, they question, they write. Their world is one of quiet resistance, an intellectual sanctuary amidst the chaos. In their solitude, they are not alone. Across time, across history, across the pages they turn, they are in conversation with those who, too, have sought meaning in troubled times.
This is a series about thought in transit—about seeking, reading, questioning, about the relentless pursuit of knowledge when the world feels on the brink.
Where the Thinkers Go
They gather where the dust has settled,
where books whisper in the hush of halls.
Pages thin as breath, torn at the edges,
cradling centuries of questions.
They drink coffee like it’s ink,
trace words like constellations,
follow Rilke into the dusk,
where solitude hums softly in the dark.
Outside, the world is fraying—
war threading through the seams of cities,
the weight of history pressing forward.
Inside, they turn pages, searching
for answers, for solace, for fire.
And somewhere between the lines,
between time-stained margins and fading ink,
they find the ghosts of others who
once sought, once wondered, once read—
and they do not feel alone.
Three Haikus
Night falls on paper,
books stacked like silent towers,
thoughts burn in the dark.
Tea cools in the cup,
a poem lingers on lips,
war rumbles beyond.
Footsteps in silence,
the scent of old ink and dust,
pages turn like ghosts.
ooOOOoo
Reading as Resistance
These young women do not read passively. They underline, they take notes, they write in the margins. They challenge the texts and themselves. They read because the world demands it of them—because, in a time of conflict and uncertainty, thought itself is an act of resistance.
Their books are worn, their pages stained with coffee, their minds alive with the urgency of understanding.

Isabelle Stengers – Another Science is Possible (rethinking knowledge and resistance in an era of corporate science)
Kate Raworth – Doughnut Economics (rethinking economic models for social and ecological justice)
Donna Haraway – Staying with the Trouble (rethinking coexistence and posthumanist futures)
The Future of Thought
These are not just books; they are weapons, tools, compasses. These women read not for escapism, but for resistance. In a time of political upheaval, climate catastrophe, and rising authoritarianism, they seek alternative visions, radical possibilities, and new ways of imagining the world.
Their books are annotated, their margins filled with questions, their reading lists always expanding. Knowledge is not just power—it is revolution.
