Too Much Tech? Really ? Got Tech??? Sort Of…
May 14, 2015 May 15, 2015 bonniebraceysutton Leave a comment
There was a New York Times article that spoke of too much tech in children's life.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/30/opinion/can-students-have-too-much-tech.html
It requires a careful reading. There are some very good points in the article but what is too much tech?
What is not spoken of is too little training by teachers who use what technology is available for them to use in the schools.What is not shared is that the IT person sometimes becomes just another administrator instead of a helping hand. Another layer of administration in some schools.
Many people have never achieve access, gotten adequate technology, and /or learned to integrate technology, never mind flipping the classroom.
If you think you can compete with visual media. think again
GOT THIS TECH?
Many schools do not teach geography. The resources of National Geography are vast and that means content. It's free.There are alliances, there are projects like BioBlitz, and interactive mapping.
OK Glass!!

Do You Know Supercomputing? Most teachers don't..Some have resources that have been developed for their use in Cyberlearning and in various programs from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications.
GOT SUPERCOMPUTING? Visualization and Modeling? Big Data?
Some of us were lucky enough to be a part of the Christa McAuliffe Institute, i.e. there were two groups of us who worked together through the NEA. We seized the ideas of minority technology, and attempted to share what we knew about technology teacher to teacher and region to region. We were minority, male and mostly female and we did workshops and initiatives all over the USA.
The five first chosen were called Christa McAuliffe Educators and we were trained, given professional development with the latest of tools and the best of professors over many months.( Chris Dede and Seymour Papert. and there were others).Yvonne Andres shared Fred Mail, and we also learned from NASA and the National Center for Supercomputing. It was radical at the time.
We did some special programs with the NSF and learned about their outreach as well.
We never mentioned the word Supercomputing, we just did it.
At the time there were many NASA programs . We had people who demonstrated astronomy from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Young Astronaut Program.

Challenger Center for Space Science Education is a nonprofit educational organization with its headquarters in Washington, DC. It was founded in 1986 by the families of the astronauts who died in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster on January 28, 1986.
The organization offers dynamic, hands-on exploration and discovery opportunities to students around the world. These programs equip students with the knowledge, confidence, and skills that will help better our national social and economic well-being.http://www.challenger.org
There was also Space Camp . If you look at the information in the link even back then there was awesome tech.
Space Camp was the brainchild of rocket scientist, Dr. Wernher von Braun. Von Braun led propulsion activities that launched the Apollo-era U.S. manned space program and envisioned an aggressive schedule for America's space-bound pioneers. Von Braun, then director of the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, reasoned there should be an experience for young people who were excited about space. Under the guidance of Edward O. Buckbee, the first director of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Space Camp was born.
Camps are available for fourth grade through high school-age students. Additional programs are offered for trainees who are blind or visually impaired, deaf or hard of hearing and those who have other special needs. Space Camp programs are also available for adults, educators, corporate groups and families. Family programs may include children as young as seven years old. I can't really list all of the programs then or now. Space Centers helped us to find all of the projects that were available. Some teachers did Moonbase America, and others did project based NASA projects. We learned about raising food in space, basil, tomatoes, and thinking about ways to raise tilapia.
We created an institute at Stanford where we invited teachers who applied to share their technology. We also presented our special projects. It was a sharing of the best of the best. We created more ways in which to do STEM which was called at the time SMET.
That is one level of technology. Have you considered that there was a synergy of space and Star Wars? The movie propelled a lot to be interested in Science Fiction. The force of interest drove many students to robotics.
This is from Family Days at AAAS.
George Lucas also pioneered Edutopia.Technology Integration examples were shared to help us all
explore new tools and strategies for empowering students to fully participate in a connected, techology-rich society. But this is the problem. At the time we talked of the digital divide. That was before a lot of people had access, tools, training, and/or permission to use technology in schools.
There was not BYOT Bring your own technology , and even with the tools we had there was a content divide. I know that in rural, distant , urban and some tribal areas we have a bigger divide.
Some people are not at the level that we think. There is a lot of tech, but it is not in all schools.

Rivers to the Sea.. How do you know about Oceans ??NOAA has resources for you!!
October 12, 2010 October 12, 2010 bonniebraceysutton 1 Comment
In thinking about digital equity, we try to understand what resources are available for teachers, students and community that are the very best.
. The Department. of Commerce has outreach programs and games, and recently there is a report that has invaluable information for use in the classroom. In times of economic difficulty the Digital Equity SIG, and those of us working in Supercomputing , Broadening Engagement would like to share resources to bring education into the future. THe power of us, is that we can transform education by using new practices.
There are embedded links for those who can access them. What we love to do is to show you supercomputing that you probably don't know you use.
How do your Students See the Sea and learn Ocean Literacy?

The Smithsonian has a wonderful exhibit in the Sant Hall using wonderful computational resources. Here are my Iphone photos of transformational ways of teaching and learning from that site.

The Dept of Commerce Science on Sphere is so compelling that students often sit through the demonstrations and seem to be mesmerized. Adults too find the use of digital media an easy way to learn complex information. Thanks to computational science we can teach in new ways. Teaching earth science and geography is enhanced by digital media.
The power of us is to use transformational resources and ideas that change the way in which we teach and learn. The education director of the Dept of Commerce talked about the fact that we often teach with textbooks with ten year old information when people working in Outreach may be serving students with ten days old research. Breaking the silos with the use of project based work, or partnership learning is powerful .
THE SCIENCE EDUCATION SYSTEM
NOAA is one of many agencies, institutions, and organizations working to improve the nation's science literacy and technical workforce. To understand its role in education it is critical to understand the major players in the system and the role of the federal government in the education system. This section outlines the roles of various entities in the K-12, higher, and informal education systems.
The responsibility for public education is not specified in the U.S. Constitution; hence, individual states have the right and responsibility for K-12 public education. Schools, school administrators, and teachers are held accountable within their state system. Federal agencies and nonprofit and private-sector organizations can offer advice, materials, training, funding, and other support.
NOAA'S ROLE IN EDUCATION
The national need to educate the public about the ocean, coastal resources, atmosphere, and climate and to support workforce development in related fields is well established.

There was a recent Census of Marine Life
( Data Mining )
Earlier this month, a consortium of the worlds leading marine scientists released the first ever, Census of Marine Life. This Census is the result of a decade long effort to assess the diversity, distribution, and abundance of marine life.
The Census efforts lead to the discovery of more than 6,000 new species, yet scientists estimate that we still are only scratching the surface. The current catalog of ocean species contains nearly 250,00 species but the estimate, derived through extrapolations, is that the oceans likely contain more than a million.
The Census is an unprecedented snapshot in time that will not only benefit scientists but will serve to educate the masses and help raise awareness about the perils the oceans face today. There has been a census of Marine Lifehttp://www.coml.org/. There is a treasure trove of resources at the previous URL.
There is an abundance of projects available for teacher and student use in both of the resources.

The centralisation of government departments' advertising was not new, Cabinet spokesperson Jimmy Manyi said on Monday.
"What surprises me is that this is not a brand new thing. It is already in operation since June 2011," Manyi said following reports in the Times that he was tightening his grip on advertising by government departments.
The Democratic Alliance claimed the centralisation was an attempt "to strengthen Manyi's propaganda machine and to shield the government's advertising expenditure from public scrutiny.
"Government communication should be about providing non-partisan information to as many people as possible, and not about serving party-political purposes, as Mr Manyi regularly does," the DA said.
However, Manyi said the allegations were "unfounded".
Manyi said the centralisation made business sense.
"Government has derived a lot more discounts using this method.
In the Times article Manyi, who spoke at a community media indaba on Saturday, said that at a national level the government wanted a model where all departments gave their advertising to one centre—the GCIS.
The newspaper reported that each of the 34 governmental departments had its own funds for advertising and was in charge of its own advertising by appointing an advertising agency.
At the indaba, the funding and lack of government advertising in community media was negotiated by the GCIS and the Media Development and Diversity Agency with community representatives, the Times reported.
According to newspaper, community media had complained that the government was ignoring them when allocating advertising, instead placing advertisements with mainstream media at a much greater cost.
Last year, Manyi said the government, through the GCIS, would monitor and enforce adherence to the "government brand".

A costume worn by a Gyptian warrior in the 2007 fantasy adventure The Golden Compass. Based on the novel by Philip Pullman, the film tells the story of a fantastical world where a person's soul is tied to transforming animal companions known as daemons.
Gyptian warriors wore their costumes during various scenes towards the end of the film, assisting Serafina Pekkala's (Eva Green) witch clan. This custom-made costume was worn by a stunt actor and consists of a navy blue woollen 'Ted Baker' jumper, floral patterned brown coat, a textured 'poncho', a thick cream faux-fur overcoat, a wide belt, a faux-fur wrap collar and a pair of burgundy trousers with maroon corduroy edging down each side. The belt features knitted wool creating a diamond pattern in assorted colours and brown leather cord is attached at both ends, used to fasten the belt around the actor's waist. Displaying some distressing and minor wear from use, the outfit remains in very good condition with no sizes marked.

NED KAHN STUDIOS 2019
An Aesthetic of Turbulence: The Works of Ned Kahn
by David Mather
Steady, helmsman! steady. This is the sort of weather when brave hearts snap ashore, and keeled hulls split at sea.
– Herman Melville, Moby Dick
In the early 1960s, chaos emerged as a vexing scientific issue closely related to predicting weather. Using complex math functions, meteorologist Edward Lorenz found that minuscule changes in initial inputs could radically alter the results of some experiments. Lorenz's 'Butterfly Effect' describes, by way of analogy, how the flapping of butterfly wings does affect the atmosphere and could, over time, cause a tornado. This analogy for transformation and Lorenz's experimental observations both try to convey the extreme sensitivity to input of some systems, such as climate. After 40 years, the study of chaos has become relevant to computer science, aero- and fluid dynamics and systems theory, but its special bond with weather prediction persists. The weather – long a mythic symbol of beauty, power, and even cruelty – now has an up-to-date association with chaos and complexity, due in part to the Butterfly Effect.
It's no wonder, then, that Ned Kahn's work with complex natural systems elicits mythic and contemporary associations. An artist from Northern California, Kahn replicates the forms and forces of nature. Happening across his work can be a stupefying experience, as it was for this author, since typically invisible or unobservable forces are felt as immediate, bodily experiences, as natural effects, which are only later discovered to have been artificially constructed. The planet's complex, random and aleatory perturbations become manifested visually, tactilely and acoustically in his work. At times he re-creates environmental conditions in controlled settings, and at other times, he lets nature animate his works. Across the breadth of his work, the artist expertly choreographs natural phenomena – a skill more often attributed to gods or supernatural entities than to humans. For example, in the Babylonian Creation Myth, Marduk defeats Tiamat by forcing wind into her belly; other examples include Ehecatl, the Aztec god of wind and the Lakota Creation Myth.1 Kahn combines science, art and technology to integrate natural, human, and artificial systems, and his specific works emphasise natural elements, such as water, fire, wind and sand; how these behave independently, and how they interact.
Indeed, a key element for Kahn is wind, and many of his projects require air currents. For example, Slice of Wind (1996), at the University of Colorado at Boulder, comprises 10,000 metal discs that move freely and reflect light as the wind passes. This idea of making wind visible with movable, reflective parts operates on a larger scale in an installation in Charlotte, North Carolina. Containing 80,000 aluminium panels and measuring 6 storeys high and 260 feet wide, Wind Veil (2000) adorns the side of a parking structure. Wind streams and eddies move across the vertical sheets of metal discs, casting intricate shadows inside the building. In a project at Yerba Buena Centre for the Arts in San Francisco, air currents sculpt a dense fog that rises from a ring of stones in the courtyard. In this case, the amorphous, shifting water vapour reveals the movement of the air.
Kahn also re-creates dynamic wind currents – or turbulence, as he calls it – within controlled settings inside buildings.Tornado (1990) is a sleek, 12-foot-high structure containing a dancing airborne funnel of whirling fog. Air blowers inside the work's upper and lower platforms create a strong updraft, while a fog generator introduces water vapour into the resulting vortical airflow. With no glass or other barriers between viewers and the vortex, the installation invites interaction with the resulting mini-twister. "If you gently run your hand through it, it will curve and recover", Kahn explains. "But if you jump through it or wave your hands rapidly inside it, you completely disrupt the airflow, and it disappears. Sometimes it takes many minutes before the vortex can reorganise itself."2 With elegant simplicity, Kahn's Tornado illustrates the Butterfly Effect.
Kahn created another, much larger tornado inside a pavilion at the 2000 World's Fair in Hanover, Germany. Collaborating with German architect Uwe Bruckner and sponsored by Duales Systems, Kahn produced a whirlwind 7 storeys high. Large turbines moved the air inside the pavilion, while an ultrasonic humidifier fed an updraft with fog. The twister resided in a tall cylindrical atrium surrounded by an observation ramp, metal scaffolding, acrylic panels and semi-translucent film.3 This project required a delicate balance among natural, human and artificial systems, and its grand scale compares to another large-scale weather project by Danish conceptual artist Olafur Eliasson.
Like Kahn's project, Eliasson's The Weather Project (2003) at the Tate Modern in London provoked immediate and intense responses. Eliasson simulated the setting sun inside the museum's large Turbine Hall. The massive illusion consisted of diffuse yellow light reflecting on a mirrored ceiling.4 The realism of the installation and its iconic quality, especially in wintry London, created a sense of calming immersion. Conversely, Kahn's giant tourbillion in Hanover conveyed a sense of awe and anxiety by confronting viewers with a turbulent natural system. By introducing weather into the exhibit spaces, Kahn and Eliasson surprised visitors in their comfortable surroundings. Also, in both projects the artists created persuasive illusions by cloaking their tools and materials; the technologies they use to create the artificial effects of unmediated nature are often hidden from sight or not apparent to the viewer.
Among the many other artists who examine natural complexities, the American light and space artist James Turrell and British environmental artist Andy Goldsworthy depend to an extraordinary degree on environmental conditions. Both artists make works about perception of nature, often requiring the artists or the viewers to visit remote geographic locations. As an example, Turrell's 30-year project Roden Crater is located outside a small town in Northern Arizona, along a dusty, circuitous road that is far from the highway or any human activity. Also, Goldsworthy's numerous site-specific projects involve his trekking into the distant reaches of pristine environment. In contrast to Turrell, Goldsworthy and Eliasson, however, Kahn harnesses kinetic, natural forces within formal, exhibition settings, and his works come to resemble interactive science experiments.
Two examples of such work are Kahn's presentations of chaotic, vortical patterns using fire and water. At Technorama in Switzerland, Fire Vortex (1997) consisted of a pool of burning kerosene from which serpentine flames leap into a 20-foot-high whirlwind. Distinct from his work with water vapour, Fire Vortex presents intrinsic danger, a menacing contrast with the sinuous shape. Another work, Encircled Steam (1995), made in collaboration with Atelier Architects of Seattle, is a permanent, outdoor work that releases water every few minutes to form a vortex in a shallow, funnel-like basin. The whirlpool displays unpredictable patterns as it drains toward the centre. Both projects further demonstrate a skilful control of natural elements, specifically natural vortices, and both are supported by intricate technical systems.
Kahn's technically sophisticated installations resemble the highly choreographed manner of an important work by collaborators Peter Fischli and David Weiss – the 16mm colour film The Way Things Go (1987). As a real-time chain reaction of experiments using gravity, chemistry, physics and pyrotechnics, The Way Things Go has been elaborately staged so that one experiment triggers another in a mind-boggling sequence that runs 30 minutes. The interaction of liquids, solids and gases produces a sequence centred on natural elements and their semi-random behaviours. The causal progression from one experiment to another is tenuous – seeming to break down, then elegantly and improbably resuming. Suspenseful despite its lack of story and characters, this film is, according to Village Voice art critic Jerry Saltz, "their masterpiece, and one of the best films ever made by artists". The Way Things Go relates to Kahn's oeuvre through its depiction of natural turbulence, verging on chaos, that has both scientific and poetic value. Projects that operate like science experiments illustrate both empirical and symbolic significance.
Kahn's interactive scientific projects leave little doubt about his command of meteorological processes. Through his immense technical ability, he demonstrates the versatility of turbulent systems, such as the vortices of wind and water. He employs diverse mechanical, pneumatic and electrical technologies to design, build and refine his installations. This is how he constructs dazzlingly complex but comprehensible images of nature that respond to viewers, conform to architectural structures, and reveal environmental conditions.
Ned Kahn presents projects both in scientific settings and in art contexts. By occupying these cultural arenas simultaneously, his work and his ideas are interpreted within separate discourses – as educational, scientific demonstrations or as aesthetic objects. Asked whether his work is more science or art, he replies, "…they're definitely not scientific experiments, because they're often much more uncontrolled and complicated… On the other hand, they're not really artworks in the traditional sense… In the things that I make, even though I've created the physical structure, it's really not me that's doing the sculpting"6.
Kahn's modesty aside, it is clear that his work straddles art and science contexts – his is a scientific aesthetic. His projects involve simulating turbulent systems, and he conducts laboratory experiments using natural elements, highly controlled conditions, and numerous technologies. Kahn's projects can also be compared to those of a collaborative group of artists called Makrolab, which investigates meteorological concepts, among other research topics of scientific and aesthetic value.
A mobile research facility with attached residence, Makrolab invites artists and researchers for two-week to three-month visits along its established itinerary – Germany (1997), Australia (2000), Scotland (2002), Italy (2003), Southern Africa (2005), Canada (2006), Iceland (2006) and Antarctica (2007). Participants gather data and test hypotheses on a wide variety of subjects, such as weather patterns and bird migration. Slovenian artist and Makrolab founder Marko Peljhan defines the project as a "closed and isolated/insulated environment" that functions as a "communication centre and a reflective tool-machine" used to "observe the world only through mediators."7 Working in isolated geographic places, researchers directly observe and record atmospheric, environmental, and astronomical phenomena. By eschewing symbolic representations of nature, Makrolab instead asks viewers to determine aesthetic and scientific significance for themselves – a bold framing of interdisciplinary hermeneutics. As an implicit challenge to fine art conventions, this mobile studio-lab blurs the distinction between art and science, between aesthetics and empiricism. Kahn's work similarly blurs the categories of art and science, and his work also requires methodical, laboratory-style analysis of natural patterns. However, unlike the deliberate isolation of Makrolab, Kahn's experiments appear in public and institutional settings.
Kahn's works also provide insight into contemporary society. On the one hand, he has a strong commitment to making projects that respond to their environment and to individual viewers. On the other hand, he seeks out natural complexity, and he knows intimately how natural turbulence can develop in technological systems. His technologically intricate installations are premised on a desire to present natural systems to human viewers. These hybrid constructions, in effect, revise the assumed definitions of technological, natural, and social systems by showing their interdependence. As Swiss art curator Hans Ulrich Obrist says, "In our own lives, in our social environments, we see fluctuations and instability, many choices and limited predictability. Non-equilibrium physics has developed similar notions of 'unstable systems' and the dynamics of 'unstable environments'."8
Kahn brings unpredictability and turbulence into a social context, and uses scientific and aesthetic strategies to make natural complexity vivid, comprehensible, and beautiful. Art and science both encourage – if not demand – keen observation of the natural world. Artists and scientists alike use empirical methods in their research, to test hypotheses and, ultimately, to produce results. That these results often get swathed in disparate interpretations, depending on varied artistic or scientific contexts and on the perceived boundaries of institutional settings, such as an art museum, an educational science centre, or an engineering facility, does not undermine the validity of the observations. To quite the contrary, Kahn's projects exemplify contemporary tendencies to defy institutional and disciplinary categories, to invite public participation, and to integrate scientific and artistic aims. His is an aesthetic of turbulence.

We are mandating a vaccine where there is no scientific evidence that it has ever saved a single life
jeromeb / November 28, 2021
Steve Kirsch | 27 Nov 2021
As the BMJ noted today [AM editor's note: the article referred to is from 20/10/20] we will NEVER have that evidence because the vaccine makers are structuring the trials to avoid proving an all-cause mortality benefit since they know it is negative.
If you are are still in doubt as to whether we are being hoodwinked on the safety and efficacy of the COVID vaccines, this Editorial in the BMJ today should remove all doubt. We are being hoodwinked. And it's not going to get better. Ever. So we are stuck with a vaccine that is being mandated where most people have no fu*&($#ing clue as to whether it works or not.
Why? It's simple. They know full well from the VAERS data that the vaccine kills far more people than it saves (regardless of age) and they want to make sure you will never find out.
Those of us who know how to interpret the safety data from VAERS and other similar systems know full well what is going on, but when we try to warn people, we are being marginalized as spreaders of misinformation. Who's lying? Well, suffice it to say that no self-proclaimed VAERS expert will agree to a debate.
Note: For those of you upset about the headline, sure, they can argue that the COVID vaccines saved people from dying from COVID. I concede that. But the all-cause mortality (ACM) rate (which nobody is looking at), has always been far greater than the COVID lives saved.
And that my friends is the inconvenient truth.
BMJ | 20 Oct 2020
None of the current trials are designed to detect a reduction in any serious outcome such as hospitalisations, intensive care use, or deaths
Vaccines are being hailed as the solution to the covid-19 pandemic, but the vaccine trials currently underway are not designed to tell us if they will save lives, reports Peter Doshi, Associate Editor at The BMJ today.
Several covid-19 vaccine trials are now in their most advanced (phase 3) stage, but what will it mean exactly when a vaccine is declared "effective"?
Many may assume that successful phase 3 studies will mean we have a proven way of keeping people from getting very sick and dying from covid-19. And a robust way to interrupt viral transmission.
Yet the current phase 3 trials are not actually set up to prove either, says Doshi.
"None of the trials currently underway are designed to detect a reduction in any serious outcome such as hospitalisations, intensive care use, or deaths. Nor are the vaccines being studied to determine whether they can interrupt transmission of the virus," he writes.
He explains that all ongoing phase 3 trials for which details have been released are evaluating mild, not severe, disease – and they will be able to report final results once around 150 participants develop symptoms.
In Pfizer and Moderna's trials, for example, individuals with only a cough and positive lab test would bring those trials one event closer to their completion.
Yet Doshi argues that vaccine manufacturers have done little to dispel the notion that severe covid-19 was what was being assessed.
Moderna, for example, called hospitalisations a "key secondary endpoint" in statements to the media. But Tal Zaks, Chief Medical Officer at Moderna, told The BMJ that their trial lacks adequate statistical power to assess that endpoint.
Part of the reason may be numbers, says Doshi. Because most people with symptomatic covid-19 infections experience only mild symptoms, even trials involving 30,000 or more patients would turn up relatively few cases of severe disease.
"Hospitalisations and deaths from covid-19 are simply too uncommon in the population being studied for an effective vaccine to demonstrate statistically significant differences in a trial of 30,000 people," he adds. "The same is true regarding whether it can save lives or prevent transmission: the trials are not designed to find out."
Zaks confirms that Moderna's trial will not demonstrate prevention of hospitalisation because the size and duration of the trial would need to be vastly increased to collect the necessary data. "Neither of these I think are acceptable in the current public need for knowing expeditiously that a vaccine works," he told The BMJ.
Moderna's trial is designed to find out if the vaccine can prevent covid-19 disease, says Zaks. Like Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson, Moderna has designed its study to detect a relative risk reduction of at least 30% in participants developing lab-confirmed covid-19, consistent with FDA and international guidance.
Zaks also points to influenza vaccines, saying they protect against severe disease better than mild disease. "To Moderna, it's the same for covid-19: if their vaccine is shown to reduce symptomatic covid-19, they will feel confident it also protects against serious outcomes," Doshi writes.
But Doshi raises another important issue – that few or perhaps none of the current vaccine trials appear to be designed to find out whether there is a benefit in the elderly, despite their obvious vulnerability to covid-19.
If the frail elderly are not enrolled into vaccine trials in sufficient numbers to determine whether there is a reduction in cases in this population, "there can be little basis for assuming any benefit against hospitalisation or mortality," he warns.
Doshi says that we still have time to advocate for changes to ensure the ongoing trials address the questions that most need answering.
For example, why children, immunocompromised people, and pregnant women have largely been excluded; whether the right primary endpoint has been chosen; whether safety is being adequately evaluated; and whether gaps in our understanding of how our immune system responds to covid-19 are being addressed.
"The covid-19 vaccine trials may not have been designed with our input, but it is not too late to have our say and adjust their course. With stakes this high, we need all eyes on deck," he argues.

Today on the blog I am welcoming Meghan Joy Yancy from Meghan Joy Today. She's sharing her story about race.
I was always so curious as to what they would look like.
With the mixture of my husbands' dark chocolate complexion and my German nearly translucent skin tone, the possibilities were endless of what our darling children would look like. This perfect and beautiful mixture of colors to create any number of combinations of skin tone, eye color, and hair texture. Now, as a family of 7, in our eyes, they all have their own unique and perfect look. Different hair textures and nose shapes and lip shapes. Just perfection in human form from a wild and lovely Creator.
It's funny, because in our viewpoint, they all look so different. Unique in their own ways. But when we go in public, some of them often get mistaken for twins.
I'm assuming it's because of the similar skin tone, same dark brown afro hair and deep brown eye color. They don't see beyond, into the shapes and curves of their faces. The intricacies of their very being.
Let's be real… it's mostly just the afros that people assume they are identical.
An adventure always awaits us when we venture out in public. Add one more kid to our bunch and we will either need a minibus, or we'll have to take 2 vehicles everywhere we go.
Being mixed AND being a large family makes for a breeding ground of stares and whispers.
I can only imagine what they are thinking.
Although I would like to say it is only their thoughts, it is not. Many of these comments make their way through their mouths and into the void of space and sound before us. And I never really know how to answer but with a smile and forced giggle.
Truthfully though, motherhood has transformed me in a way I don't know if I could ever fully repay to God except to steward these children up to love Him as best I can. Motherhood has been one of the greatest challenges of my life and one of my greatest joys. Let's not pretend it isn't hard sometimes. Painful even.
But the fruit of those seasons of sowing and planting are so worth all that hard work. It is a beautiful process really. To do life with these tiny humans. To watch them absorb and grow and learn. It is truly my dream being lived out in reality.
Having 5 children, ages 7 and under, is basically a recipe for crazy town. And being that I am a stay-at-home mom that homeschools- we are talking 24/7 crazy town. And it's glorious. And maddening. And such a complete honor. To look in their eyes and feel their emotions with them. To know that I am wholly responsible for their well-being.
For their physical safety and growth. And even more importantly- their SOULS. What a heavy and honorary burden to bear. To steer their lovely little hearts to live for Jesus and to love him unashamed and undignified. To follow Him in all their ways and to lean on their faith and not only what their eyes see. To let them experience the tangible love of God in unsuspecting ways. To have the hard conversations. To discipline them and to nurture them. To lean on the Lord for guidance and strength.

To follow Him in all their ways and to lean on their faith and not only what their eyes see. To let them experience the tangible love of God in unsuspecting ways.
To have the hard conversations. To discipline them and to nurture them. To lean on the Lord for guidance and strength.
I love being able to see this perfect blend of mommy and daddy in them. In their physical appearance and in their personalities. To see their little lights shine and their exuberance bursting forth is this beautiful masterpiece of artwork being lived out in daily life.
I love being able to hear the words I once said come out of their own mouths. They are such a reflection of us.
What a humbling experience to basically be looking in a mirror and see our children act as we have.
My 7-year-old has the most tender and loving heart that really listens for Holy Spirits voice. She cares about other people's feelings and desires to please the Lord in all she does. And she is quick on her feet. She is wise beyond her years and to see her grow, care, and show kindness makes those tough times come into the reality of parenthood and what exactly we are doing and why we are doing it.
She is so aware of the beauty of the color of her skin and how she is the combination of both mom and dad and how she is perfectly and uniquely created that way. To shine for Christ in all she does and proclaim his goodness in the glory of TODAY. She takes full advantage of life and all it has to offer and loves hard. She is so considerate of other people and always thinking of ways to bless others.
While shopping one day, a little girl came up to us and asked if I was her mommy.
And with that, my Mommy heart SOARED.
We may get stared at a lot, but it leads to some great discussions about race with our kids. We have the opportunity to communicate with them how the world has been in the past, where it is now and how we can lovingly help it to function in the future when it comes to issues of race and acceptance and love. It's a great chance for us to conversate on our beautiful differences and how we can be united through them.
My sweet little tan creamy skin toned beauties are growing up knowing their wonderful place in this world and the impact they can make. That they are one of many in our family and one in a million in this life. Created wonderfully and fearfully with a divine purpose.
Want to hear more from Meghan? Meghan resides in Maple Grove, Minnesota with her husband and their 5 children. She runs businesses from home while homeschooling and loves having random dance parties throughout the day. Be sure to follow Meghan Joy Yancy for more!

Medical geology is an emerging interdisciplinary scientific field studying the relationship between natural geological factors and their effects on human and animal health. The Commission on Geological Sciences for Environmental Planning defines medical geology as "the science dealing with the influence of ordinary environmental factors on the geographical distribution of health problems in man and animals."

In its broadest sense, medical geology studies exposure to or deficiency of trace elements and minerals; inhalation of ambient and anthropogenic mineral dusts and volcanic emissions; transportation, modification and concentration of organic compounds; and exposure to radionuclides, microbes and pathogens.

History
Many have deemed medical geology as a new field, when in actuality it is re-emerging. Hippocrates and Aristotle first recognized the relationship between human diseases and the earth's elements. This field ultimately depends on a number of different fields coming and working together to solve some of the earth's mysteries. The scientific term for this field is "hydrobiogeochemoepidemiopathoecology"; however, it is more commonly known as medical geology. It was established in 1990 by the International Union of Geological Sciences. Paracelsus, the father of pharmacology (1493–1541), stated that "all substances are poisons, there is none which is not a poison. The right dosage differentiates a poison and a remedy." This passage sums up the idea of medical geology. The goal of this field is to find the right balance and intake of elements/minerals in order to improve and maintain health.

Examples of research in medical geology include:

 Studies on the impact of contaminant mobility as a result of extreme weather events such as flooding.
Lead and other heavy metal exposure resulting from dust and other particulates
Asbestos exposure such as amphibole asbestos dusts in Libby, Montana
Fungal infection resulting from airborne dust, such as Valley Fever or coccidioidomycosis

Recently, a new concept of geomedical engineering has been introduced in medical geology through a paper titled "Geomedical Engineering: A new and captivating prospect". It provides the fundamentals of engineering applications to the medical geology issues.

Environment and human health
It is widely known that the state of our environment affects us in many ways. Minerals and rocks have an impact on human and animal populations because that is what the earth is composed of. Medical geology brings professionals from both the medicine field and the geology field to help us understand this relationship. There are two priorities that have been established within the medical geology field, "(1) the study of trace elements, especially their bioavailability and (2) a need to establish baseline, or background levels of contaminants/xenobiotics/potentially harmful but naturally occurring materials in water, soil, air, food, and animal tissue." The elements and minerals in the land affect people and animals immensely, especially when there is a close relationship between the two. Those who depend heavily on the land are faced with one of two problems. First, those who live in places such as Maputaland, South Africa are exposed to heavily impoverished soils which result in a number of diseases caused by mineral imbalances. Secondly, those in areas such as India and Bangladesh are often exposed to an excess of elements in the land, resulting in mineral toxicity.

All living organisms need some naturally occurring elements; however, excessive amounts can be detrimental to health. There is a direct link between health and the earth because all humans ingest and breath in these chemicals and for the most part it is done unknowingly.

Sources of chemical exposure
There are many ways in which humans come into contact with the earth's elements and below are only a few ways in which we become exposed to them.
Volcanoes are one of the main sources that bring all the toxicity from inside the earth to the outside. They bring out chemicals such as; arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, mercury, lead, radon, and uranium.
Rocks are also one of the leading sources in exposure to these elements. "They are essentially the source of all the naturally occurring chemical elements found on the earth."

Diseases

Iodine deficiency
One of the biggest geochemical diseases is iodine deficiency. Thirty percent of the world is at risk for it and insufficient intake is the most common cause of mental retardation and brain damage. The sea is a major source of iodine and those who are further from it are at a disadvantage. Another source of it is in soil; however, goitrogens such as humus and clay trap the iodine, making it hard for people to access it. Some cultures actually consume the earth's minerals by eating soil and clay; this is known as geophagy. It is most common in the tropics, especially among pregnant women. The Ottomac people of South America engage in this practice and none have suffered from any health problems related with mineral/ Iodine deficiency.

Cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease has often been linked to water hardness as the main cause. Water hardness means that there is magnesium in the water with calcium playing a role. Some research has completely discredited this evidence, and has found that the more magnesium in the water the less chance of death cardiovascular disease.

Radiation
Natural radiation is found everywhere; it is in the air, water, soil, rocks, minerals and food. The largest amount of radiation comes from radon. Certain places are called 'high background radiation areas' (HBRAs), such as Guarapari, Southwest of France, Ramsar, parts of China, and Kerala Coast. People living in these areas however have not shown any health deficiencies and in some cases are even healthier and live longer than those not in HBRAs.

Other issues
Among the problems presented there are also issues with fluoride in Africa and India, arsenic in Argentina, Chile, and Taiwan, selenium in areas of the United States, Venezuela, China and nitrate in agricultural areas. As medical geology grows it may become more important to the medical field in relation to the issue of diseases.
In addition to deficiencies of particular minerals, dietary excesses of certain elements occurring in specific geographic regions can also be harmful to human health, as per the examples listed below:
Hyperkalemia: excess amount of potassium
Hypercalcemia: excess amount of calcium
Hyperphosphatemia: excess amount of phosphorus

International Medical Geology Association
"The International Medical Geology Association (IMGA) aims to provide a network and a forum to bring together the combined expertise of geologists and earth scientists, environmental scientists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and medical specialists, in order to characterize the properties of geological processes and agents, the dispersal of geological material and their effects on human population." IMGA was founded in 2006 and manages affairs and funds, plans conferences, elections and publications, and they are also a way of encouraging growth and recognition in the field. Although it was founded in 2006, it was a work in progress for ten years when a working group of medical geology was established by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) in 1996. The goal of the working group was to advertise and make people aware of the harmful effects the environment has on our health.

HomeGlobal ChangeGlobal Climate ChangeBangladesh and climate change: time to change the narrative?
By now Bangladesh has become known as being one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change.
This refrain is now repeated endlessly by our leaders and representatives when talking about Bangladesh and climate change.
It is also the way the international media sees Bangladesh.
For example, a recent series of documentaries on climate change impacts around the world hosted by celebrities in the United States of America, called "Year of Living Dangerously" and shown on the cable channel ShowTime, included one on Bangladesh hosted by actor M.C. Hall that also highlighted the vulnerability of Bangladesh to the adverse impacts of climate change.
While this story is undoubtedly true, it is no longer the only story about climate change and Bangladesh.
I would argue that it is by now an out of date story and that a new narrative of Bangladesh being at the forefront of tackling the adverse impacts of climate change is indeed the more important narrative for us to propagate from now on.
In scientific and development discourse the vulnerability of countries, communities and systems to the adverse impacts of climate change are often used as the obverse of resilience to those adverse impacts.
In other words, countries and communities that have high vulnerability are generally deemed to also have low resilience while building up resilience is seen as reducing vulnerability.
So vulnerability and resilience are seen like a see-saw where high vulnerability equals low resilience and low vulnerability equals high resilience.
I would argue that while this may be true in many cases, Bangladesh is the exception to this rule.
In other words, Bangladesh is both highly vulnerable to the physical impacts of climate change but at the same time the people are highly resilient to facing all kinds of adversity, including climatic ones. Indeed, one could argue that Bangladeshis are more resilient than even many developed countries.
Thus, while Bangladesh remains highly vulnerable to the current and future impacts of climate change it has not been sitting idle waiting for catastrophe to happen.
Rather, it has invested in building its own resilience through the Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (BCCSAP) and the creation of two separate Climate Change Funds with a combined value of nearly half a billion US Dollars, and is now implementing the forty plus actions under the six pillars of the BCCSAP.
At the same time, Bangladesh has hosted the international community of practice on Community Based Adaptation (CBA) by holding the seventh international conference on CBA in Bangladesh last year.
The eighth CBA conference (CBA8 ) was held in Nepal in April this year and CBA9 will be held in Kenya in April 2015, after which CBA10 will be held in Bangladesh again in 2016.
The government, NGOs, researchers and people of Bangladesh are taking actions to tackle the adverse impacts of climate change around the country and across a range of ecosystems and vulnerability types.
In the process, all these stakeholders are going up a learning curve very rapidly and are becoming knowledgeable about how best to tackle the impacts of climate change.
They are even developing knowledge about mitigation actions, even though Bangladesh is not a major emitter of greenhouse gases.
In the process, the country is developing knowledge on how to tackle climate change that can be shared with other countries, especially other Least Developed Countries (LDC) who share many of the same problems, and even some developed countries as well.
Thus, there is great opportunity for both South-South sharing of knowledge as well as South-North sharing.
A good place to put forward this new narrative is the Climate Change Summit to be held in New York on September 23, where the United Nations Secretary General Ban ki Moon has invited all heads of state to come and present their actions to tackle climate change.
The Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina could use this summit to put forward the new narrative of Bangladesh as no longer just a victim of climate change but now an emerging leader in tackling the adverse impacts of climate change, and offer to share our knowledge with the rest of the world.
It is now high time for the leaders, experts and public in Bangladesh to change the narrative of Bangladesh and climate change from depicting the country as merely a victim to one that depicts the country as learning very fast how to tackle climate change and wishing to share that knowledge with other countries around the world.
Saleemul Huq is Director, International Centre for Climate Change and Development (www.icccad.org) at the Independent University, Bangladesh.
1 Comment on "Bangladesh and climate change: time to change the narrative?"
By now Bangladesh has become known as being one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change.– Sad to hear, and hope kind life beings will be protected and prayed.

Today, this tutorial would cover all the concepts of template property binding in ionic that I've learnt over the period of time which I've been developing. If you're familiar with ionic some may not be new but for the sake of those who are starting up with ionic I'll try to cover all alike.
In lay man's terms, this is binding your logic to your view. Meaning that these are the methods you use to edit or modify the things we see in our html and Css through our typescript(In the case of ionic).
To cover these, I'll take examples of each explaining this concept.
ViewChild is an inbuilt functionality that comes with ionic and angular for referring to elements in the template. There is always some controversy about why this is used instead of simple interpolation and the answer is simply that the ViewChild gives more room for dynamically changing values in our template. If still unclear the example below should elucidiate.
Inputs are rather similar to the ViewChild but are different because they can be used to refer to input that are made not directly to the view of the template file for the typescript file. To simplify that, in the example of the custom component from my last tutorial, I used the @input to refer to the values collected from the view which were not in a different page from where the component was.
Note: The input can also be used directly for the template of the component it is being used in.
//You could use the values you got from the view in various ways.
Interpolation is the most common binding technique and is familiar to all angular users because it has been there from the inception. Interpolation does not require any imports and simply directly searches your .ts file for variables that have the similar name of the referred file.
public data: any = "This is the data declared in the view"
This is what we have in the view.
This is another common binding technique used but it comes with angular functionality. The two going to be explained here are ngIf and ngFor.
ngIf displays a template or whatever component it is placed in based on a boolean preset in the logic file. If the boolean returns true the view shows and if it returns false, the view does not show.
public data: any= "This is bound to the visible variable"
This is used for binding lists to arrays in ionic. It loops over all the values in the array and displays them in the template. This is the recommended list display for ionic as seen in its documentation.
Note: This could be used for any display tag for example buttons, icons and anything else the view can display multiple times.
This can be used in various ways and is usually used by people who have been developing for some time. Default package binding is used for preset ionic components such as slides, fabs and other ionic components that have quite a high amount of functionality.
For this tutorial, I would be using a slider as an example.
Sliders are preset components in ionic which are used in various ways from start up pages to slides that show products in a store e.t.c.
The first time I used this, I was trying to get the slider to restart auto play when interacted with(By default this ends the autoplay).
For such a thing, I imported the slider into the page's logic and referred to it using the ViewChild. The difference between this method and using the normal viewChild is that the you would have to state the data type of whatever component you want to interact with after importing that data type as shown below. This helps you use the preset functions that are available for this data type.
With these template binding techniques you can easily refer to any component in your view and easily edit or interact with it. This is very similar to Phaser and if you would like to see how this can be done in that simply indicate in the comment section.
To see all the code used in this tutorial, you could visit my github page where it is simplified for easier comprehension.
See you in the next.
Improve your language in your tutorial. Well-written text makes it easy for the reader to understand what he is explaining.
Put more images in your tutorial to make it more intuitive for the reader to read through to the end of your contribution.
It is important to always have proof of your work at the end of your contribution.
Thanks again for your work on developing this tutorial. We are waiting for more tutorials.

Detroit Tigers: Scott Harris comments on Willson Contreras rumor
The 2022 World Series is in the books and the Houston Astros are the Champions once again. Now, the focus has shifted to the 2023 season and you can expect Detroit Tigers' new president of baseball operations, Scott Harris, to turn over every stone as he looks to improve the roster. Earlier today, a rumor/report was released that Harris is interested in signing free agent C Willson Contreras, and within the past hour, Harris weighed in by saying the Tigers will look at the catcher position.
What did Scott Harris say about the Willson Contreras rumor?
On Tuesday evening, at the Major League Baseball Owner's Meetings, Harris was asked about the Contreras rumor/report, and though he declined to comment specifically on Contreras, he did admit that catcher is a position that he will take a "hard look at."
"We're going to look at every opportunity to get better this winter," Harris said. "Catcher is certainly a position we're going to take a hard look at."

Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris declined comment on Contreras when asked on @MLBNetwork a minute ago:
"We're going to look at every opportunity to get better this winter," Harris said. "Catcher is certainly a position we're going to take a hard look at." https://t.co/29PfDrXHjS
— Jason Beck (@beckjason) November 8, 2022
Contreras, who is 30, is coming off an All-Star season with the Chicago Cubs. During the 2022 season, he batted .243 with 22 home runs and 55 RBIs in 113 games.
Contreras will without a doubt be the most sought-after catcher in free agency, and he would be a solid addition for the Tigers if they are able to land him.

I've got a question for you: How do your customers feel when they do business with you? After they leave an encounter with your company, do they walk out and say "WOW" and are anxious to tell a friend and spread the good word, or do they walk away feeling frustrated, angry or a little bit depleted?
In today's environment … the ultimate test of Customer Service is either show them the love or they will walk!
Given the economy, the recession … everyone wants more for their precious buck! Today, it's about the customer's experiences.
It's those moments of truth … any interaction a customer has with your organization that makes or breaks the customer relationship.
Do realize great service is the only way to keep them … finding ways of making the service memorable.
When a friend and/or guest enters your home … you greet and welcome them, with a smile and make eye contact. You go out of your way to make that guest feel comfortable in your home. You are attentive.
Sometimes when we enter your place of business, no one is paying attention to us. No one is being attentive to our needs.
Part of "Loving your Customers" is knowing what not to do … the things that irritate almost all of us when we're on the customer side of the counter. When we're in the "serving" role, it can be tough to see our potentially irritating behaviors through our customer's eyes.
You and I both know that this list can go on and on and on.
As a company, we want the business, but our attitude and actions show we do not want customers in our store … Where's the Love?
Here's the tough part, it is all based on their perception of the value you delivered whether that value was tangible or intangible.
Some time ago, I spoke to a customer service associate in a retail establishment, who told me that he used to welcome every customer that entered the store, but figured it wasn't worth it … "since some customers didn't seem to be appreciative, plus I got tired of saying 'hello' so many times a day." Ouch!
This one of the most basics practices of great Customer Service – with this practice, you are putting me, the customer at ease and making me feel comfortable. If it's unfavorable, you may have lost me forever, but on the other hand if it's favorable … WOW! … Look at Wal-Mart … a greeter at every store!
Remember, it doesn't matter what you do, but how you do it.
When Customers walk into your place of business, they want to feel welcomed … it doesn't have to be a canned speech, but make it uniquely yours. And above everything else, always thank people for waiting!
"Showing the Love" … simply means making the customer feel you have all the time for them, believe it or not, it won't take that long.

Zion Williamson says he will 'of course' sign an extension with New Orleans Pelicans
Andrew LopezESPN
METAIRIE, La. -- Zion Williamson didn't hesitate.
Speaking to the media for the first time since September, the New Orleans Pelicans forward was asked if he'd sign the extension he is eligible for this summer if the team offered one.
"Of course," Williamson said. "I couldn't sign it fast enough."
Williamson is eligible to sign a five-year, $181 million max rookie extension this summer. But after missing all of the 2021-22 season with a right foot fracture, he has played in just 85 games in his three-year career.
Pelicans coach Willie Green said it was nice to hear Williamson say he wants to stay in New Orleans, but he's focused on the basketball side of things.

Pelicans offseason guide: What should New Orleans do about Zion this summer?

"I love that he wants to be here, that he wants to be in the gym, working towards getting healthy, working towards being the best player he can be," Green said. "We love anyone who wants to be here in New Orleans with this community, with this culture. That's what we want."
Williamson called this season a "rough year," as he wasn't able to be on the court. In January, he started to rehab in Portland away from the team and didn't return until early March.
Once he rejoined the team, Williamson said it helped to put him in a "great space."
"Being around the guys, being in Smoothie King [Center], seeing that playoff environment," Williamson said. "And the locker room -- we have a special locker room. My first two years, it was a good locker room. But this year -- I guess maybe it was the playoffs -- it was more together.
"Being real, it sucks watching from the sideline. I just want to be out there. Just seeing the potential. We have a lot of great pieces. I'm excited to get out on the court with those guys."
Williamson started playing 5-on-5 with teammates and coaches late in the season and into New Orleans' playoff run. While he was never cleared to play actual games, Williamson said Friday he felt he could have but that he decided along with the coaching staff and front office that staying out would be best for him long term.
Pelicans vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said Williamson is still a few weeks away from the next set of imaging that could ultimately clear him for good.
"And that would be when we crossed the bridge of 'OK, he can do what he wants to do in terms of getting ready for next season without any limitation,'" Griffin said. "If it's two-a-days, great. If it's three-a-days, great. His workload won't be monitored at that point, we hope.
"And at the same time, we've gotten to a point before where we felt confident that was coming. So we have to be realistic in that situation too. So, really, it's going to be about let's put him in the best position to succeed physically heading into next season. And I think he's committed to that based on what he told you today."
Due to Williamson's injury history, the Pelicans could look to put protections into the deal much like the Philadelphia 76ers did in October 2017 with center Joel Embiid, who played just 31 games in his third season after missing his first two years because of a foot injury.
When the extension talks do go down, Griffin added that it will be "a challenge."
"When it's time to have that, we'll have it," Griffin said. "And right now what we're focused on is him being healthy, and kind of elite condition to play basketball, and we'll start there. I think once we get to that point, all those conversations get a lot easier."
Williamson credited Brandon Ingram and Green with the change in the locker room. He also brought up his relationship with CJ McCollum, one that got off to a very public start.
At the All-Star break, during a segment with TNT, McCollum, a week and a half after he was traded to New Orleans, told the crew that he hadn't spoken to Williamson yet and that he was "going to get to the bottom of it."
When asked about his relationship with McCollum, Williamson stared directly into the camera.
"Mr. McCollum. That's just a little payback. Mr. 'I'm going to get to the bottom of it,'" he said with a big smile. "CJ is a great dude. The short amount of time I have been around him, I've learned so much from him. Great teammate. I'm excited to get on the court with him."
McCollum and Williamson's relationship has grown, with McCollum telling ESPN last month that the two even have sat next to each other at team dinners and pick each other's brains for hours.
"Honestly, I was focused on rehabbing around that time," Williamson said of not speaking to his new teammate right away. "I texted CJ shortly after to apologize about that. Like I said, I was mentally not in a good space. Mr. McCollum, he was cool about it. Like I said, I'm excited to get on the court again."
For Williamson, the upcoming season will be the first in which he's been able to go into an NBA year with the same head coach after having Alvin Gentry as a rookie and Stan Van Gundy last season.
He had high praise for Green and said he went up to his coach after the Pelicans' Game 6 loss eliminated them from the playoffs Thursday night.
"I said, 'Coach, whatever you need from me, whether it's getting the team together, anything I can do, I'm there, Coach,'" Williamson said. "We have a special group. Guys are already excited about coming together this offseason."
Green said that while it was important for the young players on the team to be on the court for the Pelicans' postseason push, it was also key for Williamson to be around the team while they made it as well.
"It's important for him to see and feel what it's like," Green said. "He was watching the crowds. He saw the atmosphere. To be honest -- I told him this -- the compassion that we have. I know he wanted to be out there. What he's going through in terms of recovering from an injury is extremely difficult. I have done it.
"When you're 21 years old and your season is derailed because you were working on your game, it's tough to go through. A lot of people say stuff. I try not to listen to it. I tried to have compassion, to have mercy, to have grace. That's hard to go through. I thought it was great for him and all of our guys to experience what we wanted to experience this season."

Rob Pruitt's Massive Obama Installation to Debut at Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit
Rob Pruitt will paint Obama 2,922 times, once for each day of his presidency.
Sarah Cascone, March 13, 2015
President Obama signing a document.
Every day since President Barack Obama's inauguration on January 21, 2009, Rob Pruitt has had a routine: arrive at the studio, Google image search the previous day's photos of the president, and dash off a quick painting of the one he finds most compelling. On May 15, the ongoing project, titled "The Obama Paintings," will finally be revealed to the public at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD).
"I wanted it to parallel his presidency," Pruitt told artnet News of the ambitious project. Inspired by the surge of enthusiasm and optimism surrounding Obama's election, both among the artistic community and the country at large, Pruitt felt a "need to channel that exuberance into what was coming next—the day-to-day issues running the country."
The paintings, each done in expressionistic white brushstrokes over a muted blue, lilac, and red ground, take about 20 to 30 minutes for the artist to complete. The gradient background, a recurring visual element in Pruitt's work, is applied using the sort of pressurized spray guns used to paint cars—an unintentionally fitting coincidence, given the project's destination in the Motor City (see US Automakers Pledge $26 Million to Save Detroit Institute of Arts). The images of Obama are done entirely by hand, with paint Pruitt described as "mixed the old-fashioned way, with pigments."
"Being able to witness all eight years at one time is very exciting to me," said Pruitt.
At its completion, "The Obama Paintings" series will feature an impressive array of 2,922 two-foot canvases. When the paintings make their debut at MOCAD, there will be between 2,200 and 2,300 of them displayed in a massive grid, with Pruitt sending each day's new piece along to the museum.
The undated works will be arranged randomly—a necessity, Pruitt admitted, since "they got mixed up from the very beginning." He thinks it is better that way, because it removes the temptation to find some kind of narrative arc, with "people reading it like lines of type." Each day, Pruitt said, will be "equal and present on the same plane."
There aren't enough walls for all of the paintings at MOCAD, so the museum is installing freestanding ones, with bookshelves built into the back to store the overflow, which visitors will be able to thumb through.
artnet News got a sneak peek at the monumental project at Gavin Brown's Harlem brownstone, where the artist has installed about 500 canvases, or about a quarter of his Obama output to date, in preparation for the MOCAD show.
The sheer accumulation of the daily snapshots is overwhelming, and the difficulty in singling out watershed moments among them is striking. The Washington Post, for instance, has compiled a list of no less than 23 different events that have been referred to by the president's detractors as "Obama's Katrina."
None of those so-called disasters are in evidence here—but neither are the president's accomplishments. Good luck finding, for instance, the famous War Room shot of the president monitoring the SEAL Team Six mission that took out Osama bin Laden. Tellingly, if understandably, the images tend to run together, offering a monument not to one specific achievement, but to the presidency as a whole.
"I can't necessarily track my own life in these at this point," Pruitt said. A habit-forming endurance project appealed to Pruitt for practical reasons. Starting a new painting is like "jumping off of a cliff each time," he said. "I don't know if it will succeed."
By comparison, the concept is already in place for the Obama paintings, leaving nothing to rethink or worry about.
Pruitt sees Detroit as emblematic of the American experience over the last seven years, a city that was "superlative in its tumble" during the recession that affected the US as a whole. Despite the recently-concluded historic bankruptcy proceedings (see Detroit Institute of Arts Will Contribute $100 Million to Fund City Pensions), Pruitt believes Detroit possesses a "positivity that is inspiring to the whole country."
"I think it will resonate with people," MOCAD executive director Elysia Borowy-Reeder, the exhibition curator, told artnet News. "I want people to examine their relationship to the government and the president and celebrity culture." She admires the extreme discipline of what she's dubbed a "durational performance piece," that explores "the intersection of art and politics." She added, "it's going to be visually stunning."
Both Pruitt and Borowy-Reeder hope that Detroit will be the first stop on a national tour for the exhibition. For the painting's permanent home, Obama's presidential library, which will be housed in Chicago, seems like a natural choice. Though he hasn't yet reached out to the president's office about such a possibility, Pruitt said he "would be honored."
Rob Pruitt's "The Obama Paintings and The Lincoln Monument" will be on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit on May 15–August 2.

Postmodernist Architect Michael Graves Dead at 80


One of the big benefits of fake grass is that it's very easy to clean. Don't panic if pets "do their business", the grass fibers will remain completely undamaged and will not discolor – no more yellow or burnt patches.
The grass is designed to allow pet urine to drain through to the gravel under the surface. If you find your pets are continually using the same area, we suggest from time to time especially on warm sunny days, to hose down the area.
This will prevent any urine smells from occurring, this is defiantly an important step if your synthetic grass was laid on a concrete or decking area where drainage is difficult.
As for pet solids simply pick up as usual and hose down the area. You can even use warm soapy water if you prefer.
Artificial grass is suitable for dogs that like to dig. If you've got one of those dogs what likes to take that new expensive bone you've just brought it into the garden to burry or even those adventuring dogs what like to think they're moles and dig large tunnels …..
Then this will definitely be a solution, all our synthetic grasses are dog friendly and are made from the toughest of materials so digging shouldn't be a problem !!
Will Artificial grass stop mud ?
Yes !! Tired of letting your dog outside then seeing your furry friends paw prints all over your carpets or beautiful flooring. Fake Grass eliminates this. The grass is designed to allow rainwater to drain through whilst preventing any mud or mess coming back though from the ground below. No more muddy paws! From Rainstorms to snow your dog will be able to play and adventure giving you the reassurance they won't be any mud to clean up afterwards.
Which is the best artificial grass for dogs and pets?
All artificial grass is suitable for pets, however consider choosing a shorter pile height, since they are easier to clean.
Can I install shock pads underneath my grass if I have a pet or dog?
Shock Pads are installed underneath artificial grass to absorb impact so reducing injury if children fall, making them ideal for areas such as playgrounds and schools or where any play equipment is installed. Whilst rainwater will drain through the shock pad underneath the grass, pet urine can leave behind smells in the foamy layers, which can become noticeable over time and will be difficult to remove. Therefore if the area is going to be used by children and pets, you need to consider if you really need the shock pads.
Should you require more information on our artificial grass for pets please feel free to contact us.
