Based on the information collected during my ethnographic work focusing my attention on the everyday understandings of dengue fever, and paying particular attention to the different ways in which the subjects that have had dengue described the experience of being unwell, I decided to re-work (collaboratively) all the information gathered so far, to create elements that reflect the ideas of how dengue fever is understood in various different contexts.
Promoters of public health have not taken into consideration the points of view of the patients or those who have had the disease. They design campaigns based on an entomological and clinical point of view, following a standard template where you see health staff –dressed in laboratory coats– talking about environmental hygiene and the purposes of sanitation. In addition, humour doesn’t play a role in the design of the campaigns.
In order to collaboratively create an intervention that reproduces the way Luis Fernando and Sara experienced the disease (you can find information about the ways in which they described the experience of being unwell by accessing my PhD blog: www.anthropologyartscience.blogspot.com), we asked Alejandro Uribe, Sarita Álvarez and Juan Camilo Ortega for their help. They are part of Bimana, a collective of artist that creates a variety of large-scale interventions and performances combining a solar balloon, plastic bags, kites, makeup, prosthetics design, and special effects. The idea was to create a fictional character, or a comic anti-hero, that would appear in the public space of the city, creating an active dialogue with different peoples.
Acknowledgments:
I am extremely grateful with the subjects of this ethnography Sara and Luis Fernando. Special thanks to the ‘Bimana Producciones’ team (Alejandro Uribe, Sarita Álvarez and Juan Camilo Ortega), the kite-flyer Andrés Ramírez and the actor Emilio Arango. I would also like to thank the rest of the people that helped during the public experiment: Pablo López, Lucía Tobón, Sara Ibarra, Susana Valencia, Hernán Marín, Mario Valencia, and Gustavo Ramírez.

Physics is the root of the existence of all the mechanical phenomenon happening around us. It controls our life in ways we cannot imagine. The concept of states of matter comes up in the study of Physics to introduce us to the elemental existence on Earth. There are three states of matter by large, Solid - Liquid and Gas. All of these three are essentially existent around us where the solid state plays a major part. Download the app and read for Solid State Concepts.

I had the opportunity to shoot photos at Guardians on Wednesday night. The speaker was Raymond De Souza, a Brazilian born Australian who spoke intensely about the problems that Jehovah's Witnesses have with Christianity.
He was able to outline that no person in history other than Jesus Christ had been prophesied about so accurately. he was able to describe in detail Jesus' divinity which Jehovah's Witnesses have so much trouble understanding.
July is going to be a big month. Tim Staples, Matt Maher, Robert Haddad and Peter Holmes are all giving extraordinary talks about Christian Faith. More photos as it happens
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers South Pacific Division Commander Brig. Gen. Mark Toy and Los Angeles District Commander Col. Kimberly Colloton signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the School of Sustainable Engineering and Built Environment and the Del E. Webb School of Construction at Arizona State University here April 15.
The MOU fosters collaboration in a relationship that stresses the importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The goal is for LA District representatives to participate in more STEM activities with ASU and to identify and develop, in partnership with ASU, opportunities for students to earn course credit for their work on USACE projects.
"USACE is always looking for talented individuals to support our mission," said John Keever, chief of Construction Division for the District. "Working with local universities and colleges allows students, faculty and advisors to become familiar with the Corps as a career option."
As a roadmap to employment with the Corps, the MOU lists the Pathways Program, with three separate tracks; internship, recent graduate and presidential management fellows, in order to provide students and recent graduates employment opportunities in the federal workforce.
In his Campaign Plan, Lt. Gen. Thomas P. Bostick, USACE commanding general and 53rd chief of engineers, mandates preparing for tomorrow by building ready and resilient people and teams through innovative talent management and leader development strategies and programs.
Toy amplifies the preparing for tomorrow sentiment in his Division motto, "Building Strong and Taking Care of People."
“Big ideas” are the broad, important understandings that students should retain long after they have forgotten many of the details of what they have studied in the classroom. They are the understandings that contribute to scientific literacy. The big ideas that students can take away from each course in this curriculum relate to some aspect of the fundamental concepts described in the preceding section. A list of the big ideas students need to understand appears at the start of every course in this document.
If you set a goal only to meet it and never exceed it, was it really a goal at all? Understanding the difference between the mind of the complacent and the mind of the entrepreneur is critical to self-acceleration and to identifying, within others, that rare talent gene called entrepreneur.
== www.jeffreymagee.com/lp/ ==
The entrepreneurial spirit and energy is at the root of any success and innovation. With USA Today and Gallup research revealing that as much as 71% of society, at any given time, is looking to perform the minimal of work product possible, while expecting the maximum of performance pay, it is no wonder that the entrepreneur has become the rarest among species!
So what does the mind of the solo entrepreneur reveal? More can do with constructive stimulant references as opposed to negative and can’t impressions. It reveals the catalyst to wonderment, innovation (not imitation), advancement, and capital market generation. It shows a methodical Mental DNA blueprint to creation and a GPS for advancement. It also reveals, in many situations, a keen understanding of their lack of business acumen and therefore a continuing need for the businessmanag ement talent acquisition. The Mental DNA has a mystical axis, weighted disproportionality as an entrepreneurial AmeriCAN as opposed to the USATODAY/Gallup research of the newly shaped AmeriCANT.
So, what are some of the Mental DNA characteristics of an entrepreneur mind?
Creative approaches to the obvious, which reveal alternate pathways to and beyond a goal.
Results oriented responsiveness to market needs, demands, and foresight to needs yet revealed.
Attitude of victory, champion of optimism, and a self-belief that radiates out and becomes contagious to others to want to associate with calling and cause. This Attitude makes it possible to continuously drive for gains in Aptitude to unleash their solo entrepreneurial abilities, where others remain mystified. Zest for the unknown and a belief in possibilities, a sense of urgency to leverage, capitalize and execute ROI. Their passion feeds their mind to assume ownership in finding connectivity where others do not, and continuously explore Application opportunities to learn, apply, and advance. Yearning to see the best in people, organizations, and distribution channels and deliverables to advance any situation in life. You will find that the solo entrepreneurs surround themselves virtually and literally with like-minded challengers and advocates, which fuels their sense of CRAZY as viewed through the lens of outsiders. Yet keeping a balance to allow productive ROI for right now and evolving ROI of tomorrow. The real CRAZY mind of the solo entrepreneur is really about understanding the “Player Capability Index™” as the mental architecture for life long development? Over the past two decades, through working with clients ranging from NASA and the DoD to HarleyDavidson and Farm Credit Services banking groups, to the National GUARD and NASBA, I have learned that understanding the human capital talent within an entrepreneur or institutional employee, comes down to a simple matrix I have designed and call “The Player Capability Index.” Your ability to understand objectively within yourself and others the depth of what each “letter” represents will directly connect you to the entrepreneurial energy and capacity of a person. The letters reveal the now and reveals what contributions may need to be calibrated into a person to enable them to function ahead of market needs tomorrow. The formula: C = (T2+A+P+E+C) E2 x R = R R = Results Starting on the right side of the equation, the last letter in the formula represents Results, any output or ROI desired. So how do you get to that R, you must objectively and thoroughly understand the chemistry of the C at the opposite left side of the equation. C = Capability Capability is the driver of the solo entrepreneur that enables significant results to be continuously generated. The greater the depth of any and every subsequent letter enables the Results, conversely for the complacent among us, it is their diminished desire to not draw upon any lettered capability driver nor their desire to add any real-time relevant depth to any lettered category that serves as the cancer to entrepreneurialism. So the letters within then parenthesis drive the Capability level. T2 = Training Traning as represented by any deliverable of knowledge, whether, formal or informal education, technical or non-technical education, certification driven or simple the OTJ knowledge acquisition. The number two adjacent to the C simply reminds you of two applications of the T, one is for total T gained from birth to present tense so T1 is Past tense Training and the T2 would be for Future tense train- ProfessionalPerformanceMagazine.com I 31 ing needs. Entrepreneurs are always seeking more T acquisition! A = Attitude Attitude that projects winner and not whiner. P = Performance Performance reflective of past accomplishments, records, participations, leadership and follower positions that would serve as a mental imprint of self-belief and awareness of what can be done. E = Experiences Experiences from birth to present tense are enormous windows through which entrepreneurs see themselves and from which one can draw strategically from for entrepreneur Results. C = Culture Culture awareness and upbringing also calibrate performance and self-worth, what you know you can draw upon, what you know you can manage. But what you fail to recognize may be the driver of results or implosion. E2 = Expectations Expectiations calibrate what rally shows p, the entrepreneur or the complacent individual. The first interpretation of E is yours, how you see yourself calibrates whether you bring you’re a-Game or B-Game to the show. And the second E is the other persons E of you. Knowing the two and calibrating them together allows for entrepreneurial effectiveness. R = Relationships Relationships that a person has can serve as the multiplier to the entire formula and that is how entrepreneurs leverage everything. Or sadly for far too many today their entrepreneurial energy is snuffed out because of the ever-increasing circle of negative influencers and stimulants around them. If you set a goal only to find that you can easily exceed it, was it really a goal at all? Understanding the solo entrepreneur mind and how to singularly take control of your destiny by inventing an ever-growing “Player Capability Index” is the DNA that CRAZY is made from!

The understanding, creation and enhancement of SPACE is in the fore front for me as a Landscape Designer. Being from the Midwest the Prairie Style has always influenced my design sensibilities. For all of the times I traveled in, through and around Chicago, including spending time in Oak Park, I don't have a good reason why I never visited Wright's Robie House before. Except that it wasn't meant to be... I wasn't ready to receive the understanding it had to offer (there, know you know I'm a real designer). That changed late October 2011 on a most glorious fall day. I was ready. I received. Enjoy this large photo set (it's only a fraction of images from the day) and gain a little insight into Wright's work. Warm wishes & best regards, Glenn!

Maybe the most touching photo I brought back from this trip: four little Turkish girls, explaining to two Dutch ladies how they are expected to clean themselves and how to behave when going to the mosque. They did not have one syllable of spoken language in common, but there was complete understanding... // Misschien wel de meest ontroerende foto die ik van deze trip mee naar huis bracht: vier kleine Turkse meisjes die twee Nederlandse dames uitlegden, hoe ze zich moesten reinigen en gedragen wanneer ze de moskee bezoeken. Ze hadden geen woord gesproken taal gemeen, maar er was perfekt begrip...

Understanding the generic definition of painting as a coloured drawing, digital painting in contrast to all form of traditional painting can be characterized in two singular aspects. The first one, taken from the model of indirect method, establishes a particular process of additive and subtractive relationships through the superimposition and interaction of multiple layers subject not only to the phenomena of reflected light, such is the case of traditional veil painting, but also projected light. On the other hand, the aleatoric nature of digital process involves by definition, the use of second generation image. This fusion of a pictorial work through a concept of indirect method and graphic work through the use of second generation images opens a new field of visual exploration where its versatility has predetermined in the last decades, a creative pool of exponential growth.
The images above illustrate a basic methodology of how to begin understanding the fundamentals of digital painting as an image building process. In its initial phase, the artist has created a series of mixed media drawings on polycarbonate film specially formulated to be receptive to a wide range of drawing materials such as: graphite, charcoal, prisma color, rubbing ink, India ink, Tusche ink, litho crayon and any form of pigment and vehicle which reacts to the hydroscopic qualities inherent to the granulation of the mentioned substrate.
The monochromatic images or original drawings on the top left have been divided in two genres. The first two columns are washes where depending on the viscosity of its vehicle, the pigment will reticulate in different patterns. From the old traditions of continuous tone lithography, Tusche ink (high density pigment ink) has been the trademark of many artists in how to achieve various forms of textures and tectonic qualities. The same way we can observe above, the difference between a lacquer thinner wash and turpentine wash with alcohol applications. In contrast, the right hand columns exemplify subtractive techniques with charcoal drawing and #1-#7calibrated litho crayon halftone drawing.
In the lower portion, we observe the same drawings which have been digitalized in quadtone modality where the artist assigns to each channel a specific chromatic and tonal value. Understanding the nature of digital work with millions of colours the possibilities are infinite. In order to schematize the process, the artist divides tonal scale in four areas, shadows or low tones, lower halftones, higher halftones and highlights. By curvature effect each tonal area of the image is assigned to a specific value. In this preliminary stage of digital colorations, the artist’s decisions are somehow predetermined by the additive and subtractive relationships which will take place later on.
The final image on the right hand side or B.A.T., abbreviation taken from the French expression: “bon-à-tirer” meaning: “right to print” is an example when all four drawings have been superimposed and interacted by layers. The multiple relationships of layer interaction which can be established in addition to the use of mask, filters and tonal modulation constitutes the true potential creativity inherent to the use of second generation images.
I'm reading the much talked about "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson. "Everybody" recommends this book and I can see why. Peterson explains the concepts of exposure in an easy to understand way, and his examples are beautiful. Highly recommended.

COVID-19’s impacts on our global food system have affected the food security and nutritional wellbeing of millions of people worldwide, with market closures, supply disruptions, and income and employment losses. Understanding the extent and nature of these impacts will be critical to building resilience to future shocks.
At this seminar, researchers from the CGIAR COVID-19 Hub present results from the first global assessment of the impacts of COVID-19 on food systems and their actors. The analysis highlights points of vulnerability and resilience, identifies who suffered and who benefitted, and examines how lockdowns and other policies shaped outcomes. Considering these findings, a panel discussion will offer insights and suggestions on what steps must be taken to avoid these negative impacts in future emergencies.
