At the Intersection of Artwork and Science: A Dialogue with Rebecca Rutstein
Rebecca Rutstein is a multidisciplinary artist and ocean explorer who has put in in excess of two a long time doing work at the intersection of artwork and science. Her assorted human body of perform, which encompasses portray, sculpture, interactive installations, and general public artwork, attracts inspiration from the all-natural environment. What introduced Rutstein to this intersectional operate? Here's how she explained her aha! instant: "During my 2005 residency in Hawaii though finding out the lively Kilauea volcano, I arrived throughout a multi-beam sonar map of the ocean flooring, revealing a sophisticated, mountainous landscape imaged via audio waves. This hidden world beneath the surface area stoked my curiosity on the broad mysteries of the deep ocean and the technologies making it possible for us to see it. I required to go there. It was this minute that primarily launched the past 18 a long time of my inventive profession, in strategies I would have never assumed doable."
All through her occupation, Rutstein has actively sought out partnerships with industry experts from numerous scientific and artistic fields and attained a one of a kind viewpoint on the interconnectedness of normal techniques. These collaborations have broadened her comprehending of the intricacies of the organic earth and affected her artistic exercise. By Rutstein's immersive installations and visuals, she reveals the concealed aspects of nature that normally elude our perception. Her perform illuminates the unseen areas and processes, shedding mild on the elegance and fragility of our ecosystem. By bringing these concealed factors to the forefront, Rutstein aims to cultivate a further connection with mother nature and inspire a perception of curiosity, compassion, and humanity.
With a passion for exploration, Rutstein has embarked on numerous artist residencies throughout the world, which include 7 voyages at sea and two deep-sea dives in the Alvin submersible (with another expedition and dives prepared for 2024). Rutstein said "Having a window into these worlds and to witness initial hand these phenomena has been just one of the excellent honors of my lifestyle. I'm keenly informed that handful of artists have the opportunity to dive in Alvin, so I feel a perception of responsibility to share these revelations by my art apply, to illuminate this concealed environment for other individuals."
Rutstein has acquired quite a few accolades for her do the job, such as a Pew Fellowship in the Arts, designation as an MIT (Media Labs) Ocean Discovery Fellow, and a recent appointment as the Delta Viewing Chair for Worldwide Knowing at the College of Georgia. Rutstein's perform has been highlighted on NPR, ABC, CBS and in the Wall Road Journal, HuffPost, and Vogue Uk.
We spoke with Rutstein about her journey as an artist doing the job at the intersection of art and science, her artistic method when doing the job on a challenge, the symbiotic romance of art and science, and the relevance of discovering unchartered territory—in and out of the sea.
NEA: Can you tell us additional about your journey as a multidisciplinary artist?
REBECCA RUTSTEIN: I constantly understood I required to be an artist. Drawing is a single of my earliest recollections, an instinctive, regular, and almost meditative follow that pervaded my youth along with every single scrap piece of paper, serviette, or notebook I could get my hands on. It no doubt assisted me method some early childhood struggles like my parent's divorce. My relationship with mother nature developed far more slowly. I recently came across a handwritten and illustrated account I wrote about the ocean at the age of ten, my only keepsake from elementary university, and a preamble of what was to occur.
As an artwork significant in university in the early 90s, on a whim I took a geology class, the place we frequented condition parks around the city of Ithaca to study about geologic forces to start with hand. The Finger Lakes area is a wild exhibit of waterfalls and gorges, in which streams have eroded monumental levels of uncovered, sedimentary shale rock (the moment deposited at the bottom of an ancient sea) to access deep, finger-formed lakes gouged out by glaciers some 10,000 decades ago. These extraordinary landscapes inform a tale, and it was definitely stunning. This visible way of mastering had a large affect on me, and though I wasn't painting about these landscapes for the duration of my time at Cornell [University], I most undoubtedly fell in appreciate with geology. Several years later on, on a cold morning in my Philadelphia studio, I was leafing through my aged geology textbook and came throughout plate tectonic diagrams illustrating the shifting of earth's plates. All at at the time, this concept of forces beneath the surface creating upheaval above, resonated for me as a metaphor for my very own tumultuous relationships—the friction, stress, collision, separation, erosion, and upheaval that I was suffering from in my 20s. And so, I started discovering the use of these diagrams and maps in my paintings.
NEA: Can you talk additional about the change in your inventive path as you began integrating science into your art observe?
RUTSTEIN: This search for metaphor launched me into a genuine, a long time-lengthy journey with geology that led me to pursue art residencies all-around the planet exactly where I investigated, explored, and produced web page-specific projects in geologically dynamic places which include the Canadian Rockies, the Massive Island of Hawaii, Iceland, and even in my possess backyard in the Crum Creek Woods of Pennsylvania.
It would be one more 10 decades, in 2015, right before I bought out on a exploration vessel and commenced actively collaborating with scientists at sea. Sailing for 3 months from the Galapagos to San Diego on the Nautilus Exploration Vessel with scientists mapping the ocean floor, I observed the practical experience absolutely thrilling though I [also] felt at peace. My husband jokes he in no way observed it coming that I'd turn into a sailor, but that trip improved me as a individual.
At the same time, my inventive exercise expanded from a solitary portray exercise (I earned my BFA and MFA in the area of portray) to consist of sculpture, interactive installation using LED light programming, public art, online video, and seem. This multidisciplinary method took place organically in excess of time as initiatives unfolded and I searched for the correct medium to finest notify the story. The exact same year I went out to sea for the first time, I also designed my 1st community art venture, Sky Terrain, a 40' x 70' everlasting out of doors installation at Temple College incorporating 18 laser-minimize metal sculptures and LED programmable lights and sensors, with a team of engineers, fabricators and designers. Doing the job with a team of experts in their fields allowed me to extend the scope of my apply in new and exciting strategies.
NEA: How do you come to a decision if you want to say "yes" to a challenge?
RUTSTEIN: I want to make do the job that resonates past the aesthetic knowledge. As my observe has developed and expanded, and I locate myself ready to be selective about the sorts of jobs and collaborations I pursue, I'm most interested in indicating "yes" to assignments that have this means to me, exactly where I will discover one thing about the entire world, that requires collaborating and exchanging concepts with fascinating and inspiring folks, that has the potential to offer you immersive ordeals for myself and in the long run in the artwork that is created… which can immerse the viewer in a tale to hook up them additional deeply with the organic planet in the face of our weather disaster.
NEA: Your collaborations with oceanographers, ecologists, geologists, and microbiologists have furnished you with a wide understanding of the interconnectedness of techniques in the all-natural earth. How have these collaborations formed your viewpoint as an artist?
RUTSTEIN: I've acquired so considerably about how patterns repeat them selves universally at distinct scales, and how microbial networks mediate processes on our world. I'm fascinated by the invisible worlds that exist together with ours that we just aren't tuned into. Regardless of whether it's deep sea microbial networks, underground fungal networks connecting trees, intricate crystal structures in billion-yr-outdated meteorite fragments, or cellular networks communicating inside our own bodies, the a lot more I study about devices in the purely natural earth, the extra I understand how almost everything is connected in nature. Extra importantly, I've occur to truly respect that we, individuals, are not individual from, but are element of that program. I know this appears to be apparent, but for many there is a true separation from the normal earth in our working day-to-day lives. Hoping to shift from an exploitation way of thinking to a regeneration state of mind is anything that has actually develop into a driving pressure in my work. I want to create get the job done that opens a window concerning the viewer and the pure globe and creates relationship and surprise, inspires empathy, and fosters higher understanding.
NEA: How do partnerships in between the arts and science communities profit the neighborhood at big?
RUTSTEIN: I think it is unbelievably crucial for individuals to get out of their specific silos and sit at the table alongside one another. This is the only way ahead if we are to resolve the best international challenges of our time, like our local climate crisis. Artists can enjoy a vital job in communicating with and shifting the typical general public by developing the expressive and emotional drivers that scientific details lacks.
NEA: Describe your imaginative procedure when working on a challenge. How do you navigate the intersection of producing art that is visually charming even though also conveying scientific ideas or messages about the pure earth?
RUTSTEIN: I 1st want the viewer to have a visceral experience with the work. The scientific messages and the stories are there to be unpacked within just an summary or "abstracted" visible language upon further more observation, or by studying accompanying wall text. I'm interested in creating the invisible obvious, by amplifying hidden or microscopic programs in the normal planet. This could possibly indicate generating a 22-foot tall portray set up motivated by microbial networks at the base of the ocean, or a 64-foot extended interactive sculpture that mimics bioluminescent alerts from deep sea maritime organisms. In the latter, the Ga Museum of Art claimed of my interactive sculpture, Shimmer, "It's not only gorgeous it is a fantastic case in point of how science and artwork can function alongside one another to converse new information and facts." My work is definitely about joy it is about reveling in the marvel of character. There are a good deal of important artists addressing local climate adjust in their function, and when I've created data-driven operate just before, my standard technique is to get rid of light on the attractiveness and sublimeness of the purely natural globe.
When I commence a collaborative investigate job with a scientist, I expend a great deal of time listening and studying and crafting. I typically gravitate towards selected parts of their analysis that seize me, that I want to delve into even more. From time to time I will see specific visual info that is persuasive and that signifies designs I've noticed before that I want to investigate creatively. It's a give and take. My scientific collaborator may possibly also react to something I've noticed or made, as it reminds them of one more element of their study, or compels them to believe about their facts in a complete new way. There is a synergy with the back again and forth, unscripted discussions that guide to additional revelations and better knowing, pushing all people into unchartered territory.
NEA: Can you share your experience as an artist-in-home on expeditions at sea and dives to the ocean floor in the Alvin submersible? How have these immersive ordeals affected your artwork and comprehending of the ocean's mysteries?
RUTSTEIN: It is been fully life switching and just about unattainable to put into words and phrases. Diving in Alvin was a lifelong dream realized. It woke up one thing metaphysical and practically primal. Slowly and gradually descending the water column for an hour and a fifty percent in full darkness, when seeing flashes of pulsing light-weight from bioluminescent lifestyle dazzling all all over you like dancing stars, is unlike nearly anything I have at any time found right before. You sense like a tiny speck in a broad and otherworldly universe. The submersible is a six-foot diameter titanium sphere that residences two scientists and a pilot for 9 hours, not a bash for a person claustrophobic. The vessel is ambient temperature with the ocean depths, so it will get to about 33 levels Fahrenheit, requiring you to dress in a lot of levels (no artificial fibers, to limit the danger of hearth). When at the excessive depths of the ocean flooring among 1,800 and 2,200 meters exactly where we dove (in Guaymas Basin, Mexico, and off the coastline of Costa Rica), there are chemosynthetic worlds fully international to how we have an understanding of everyday living to perform on our planet… strange ecosystems where organisms feed off of micro organism (known as "extremophiles") which get their energy from substances, fairly than sunlight, coming out of the ocean floor at hydrothermal vents or seeps.
The expeditions them selves are awesome and fascinating encounters. On the investigate vessel, the science group, engineers and crew turn out to be a relatives. I generally established up a make-change painting studio, operating along with the researchers in a frequent lab area, and create paintings in situ impressed by info being collected and my personal particular observations. There is constantly another person performing a work at any presented hour on a ship, with a head popping in to chat about the paintings unfolding at sea, irrespective of whether it be the captain, an engineer, a custodian creating his rounds, or a postdoc. On a vessel, every person has a portion to engage in and there is a terrific volume of synergy with the shared goal in managing a clean ship and a profitable science procedure. Currently being embedded with the science staff and even collaborating in some of the operations is essential in terms of finding out about the investigate staying conducted, having unscripted and meaningful dialogues with the scientists, engineers, and crew, creating connections across disciplines and bringing jointly diverse voices for a shared expertise and further being familiar with of our earth.
NEA: Your artwork is highlighted in a lot of public collections, including prestigious establishments and organizations. What does it suggest to you to have your function showcased in these options, and how do you hope it impacts viewers?
RUTSTEIN: I feel honored to be incorporated in these collections. And as a girl, obtaining my do the job gathered by institutions exactly where predominantly male artists have traditionally been represented, I come to feel happy to be aspect of this collective second in direction of additional equitable illustration. Nevertheless, modern study demonstrates that performs by woman artists make up just 11 % of acquisitions by art museums, and even considerably less by Black artists of both of those genders. There is an emerging drive for interdisciplinary trade and collaboration, as a suggests to foster better comprehending and to clear up the pressing world wide problems of our time. Having my science-motivated artwork exhibited and gathered by both equally art and science institutions is proof of that. Encouraging viewers to move out of their silos to fully grasp the entire world by means of a various lens is a single way I hope to impression viewers.
I'm psyched about possibilities to reach the community beyond these institutional partitions. It's expanded my exercise both of those in phrases of making it possible for me to press the scale of my function and to develop the type of obtain I want my perform to have with the typical public.
NEA: Can you share particulars about your present exhibition, Blue Dreams, at the Countrywide Academy of Sciences?
RUTSTEIN: Blue Desires is an immersive large-scale movie set up that integrates summary imagery, rare deep-sea online video footage, and laptop modeling (animating just one of my paintings) to portray the resilience and advancement of our planet's smallest however most important dwelling techniques in the deep ocean. Microbial networks thrive in these serious environments on the ocean ground and are crucial to the functioning of our planet: they produce the air we breathe, control ocean chemistry, and are the origins of lifestyle on Earth. Oceanographer Sylvia Earle at the time said that "for every single fall of water you drink, and every single breath of air you just take, you are connected back again to the sea." This immersive video installation is intended to encourage awe and speculate at these units, processes, and landscapes or else concealed from see, and that seem so much away from our truth, but that connect us to our previous and which we count on for our own survival.
NEA: How do you know if a project is a accomplishment?
RUTSTEIN: Whether or not it be a portray, sculpture or a far more immersive set up, my intention is often, 1st and foremost, that the viewer has a visceral knowledge via the visual language of art. This working experience can be heightened and improved by getting a further knowledge of the scientific phenomenons behind the operate. If the viewer can get misplaced in the perform and sense a sense of surprise or curiosity and want to discover much more, that would show to me it was a prosperous undertaking.
NEA: How do you visualize your function evolving in the foreseeable future?
RUTSTEIN: As my work continues to evolve, I am fascinated in generating additional immersive, multi-sensory experiences that join the public with the all-natural entire world. In certain, I am in the midst of a lengthy-term collaborative operate involving 3 other artists and two researchers called the Immersion Job, which is a eyesight for a massive-scale, immersive and interactive artwork set up impressed by deep-sea coral varieties that will have a next lifestyle as an artificial reef in the Gulf of Mexico. This undertaking will incorporate 3D printing, ceramic casting and weaving to generate modular, monumental, coral-motivated structures filling an exhibition or public room. The interactive installation will also integrate audio that brings together area and hydroponic recordings, interactive lights to simulate bioluminescent communication, and an augmented truth layer to create a multi-sensory undersea knowledge. Immediately after the traveling exhibition cycle along the Gulf coast, portions of the exhibited types will be deployed on the ocean flooring as a kind of remediation as a result of direct human intervention, in a coordinated work with NOAA [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]. This could have a considerable optimistic environmental effects in the ecological restoration and restoration of the Gulf of Mexico's deep coral gardens ruined throughout the Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010.
I hope to carry on to force the boundaries of what I can do creatively, get out of my convenience zone, delve into extra huge-scale public will work that can attain a broader audience, and carry on to generate perform that resonates beyond aesthetics. Men and women have often joked with me, "what's following, are you going to the moon?" The truth of the matter is, that if provided the opportunity, I would covet the probability to check out deep place, and see it as a purely natural progression of my explorations to immerse and understand about the purely natural environment. So, to be continued!

The Monday Tony Update
on October 20, 2008 at 2:03 pmYo, bros!
Yours truly is prepping for an intense week of Super Frat strips and house hunting with the missus. If you've never done the house hunting thing, it's pretty crazy. Kind of like watching the HGTV channel and actually giving a shit about the outcome.
In other news, after a long hiatus, I am again working on Zombie Country. We have three more episode shot, but the editing system has been down for months. My goal is to have a new episode up before Halloween.
And speaking of comedy, my improv group, the Ninjas, has a gig on Tuesday, 8pm at the Raven Lounge, 1718 Samson Street in Philadelphia if you're in the area. Our opening act is again the great guys from Mr. Lizard, also an improv group. And after that, there's a comedian open mic. Stop by if you're around. You can get drunk!
And speaking of drunk, how 'bout that election? I think I need a drink just to get through it. Vote in our amazingly scientific poll on the message board. The last 10 elections have been decided by the Super Frat message board, so its only fair you vote.
More Super Frat/Dick Masterson crossover, more Sr. Cactus and other surprises this week. Stay tuned bros.

Paul Wants To Know Why Kids Move So Far Away From Family
It's funny how the times change.
Years ago, when kids grew up they all tended to stay close to home. I don't know if that thought even crosses their minds anymore. It's all about a new life and a new adventure.
When I think of my mom and dad's families, they all stayed close to home to work and raise their families. Between them, there were 10 brothers and sisters and they all stayed in the area except two who left after the war and their spouses were from other states. If you are fortunate enough now to even have your kids within a one-day ride, consider yourself lucky.
Work availability could play a part.
Another factor now is the fact that so many can work from home and can live in any place they choose. Great weather, great recreational opportunities, and great nightlife sometimes will trump family. It also depends on your career, as well, because of opportunities elsewhere that we just don't have here in Montana.
They're not the only ones.
I can't blame them, we all want to spread our wings and see what's out there. In fact, I did the same thing. I packed up and left Cincinnati in 1979 to see what lay ahead in Montana and have called this place home ever since. It worked out well for me, but I imagine that it left a void in my parents' lives just like my kids being gone has left in mine.
On the positive side.
It is a lot easier to travel now, so that's a plus. Also, that futuristic thing we all learned about in school where someday you'd actually be able to see the person you talking with came true...that helps too.

Photographer Jagdish Agarwal's coffee table book, 100 Photographs, showcases some of his best work over 50 years. All the pictures are in black and white, considering he is master of the medium and prefers print over digital.
In 100 Photographs he lets his pictures do the talking. "I like taking pictures which were not there a moment ago and will not be there the next moment," Jagdish says.
After 50 years and collecting more than 50 awards, both Indian and International, Agarwal is still in search of that perfect moment, that arrives like 'mannah from heaven' for a split second and is gone.
In this book one sees him transforming the mundane into the sublime. For example in the picture 'Two porters carrying heavy baggage', he waited until the duo arrived in his frame. Till then, all he had was a fence and the wasteland. Then the fence became an essential prop, giving depth to the picture and worked in co-ordination with the workers and the landscape.
Another picture is that of a Warli painting juxtaposed in front of a modern day building, depicting the city's evolving cultural and urban landscape.
Of course, one of his most brilliant and dramatic photograph is that of the monk walking beside a Buddhist monastery in Thimpu, Bhutan, shot in 1989. The monk 'entering' the ray of light for a second, is the 'moment' Agarwal was waiting for.
There is direction, reverence, contrast of form, and above all a picture telling a story. Like Alex Webb says: "The possibility of one particular photographer's pictures lying around the corner is never realised until the photographer is there. It is one of the enigmas of photography."
Another eye-catching picture is 'Bamboo vendor handcart', Kolkata, 1989, where two vendors are pushing a handcart full of bamboo. Note the smooth horizontal lines of the bamboo in sync with the horizontal architecture. Seems like Agarwal has a penchant for his figures entering his frame from the right.
'Marathon Runners' is a case in point. Every object here just flows in perfect rhythm, the runners, the ambassador car, and the taxi and all are in sharp focus. Now that must have been a difficult picture to shoot considering that the photographer must be travelling at the same speed as his subjects.
'Poor couple sitting in the house without door and roof' is a picture that tugs at your heartstrings. He has sensitively captured the resigned posture of the old lady sitting at a doorless entrance in conversation with another that graphically brings out the impoverished existence of a people living without hope and forgotten from the country's fabric.
The rural landscape, the cityscape, the people, their idiosyncrasies, textures, objects, lifestyles, trees, rocks, portraits are all masterfully shot with control and versatility that makes this book a must have. For your copy contact Jagdish Agarwal on 022 22044016.

In these years, real estate market in District 2 has been vibrant but now become even more attractive with the appearance of a series of mega projects. Apartments in District 2, Ho Chi Minh City are becoming an investment trend in 2022. In particular, apartments located in Thu Thiem urban area are more and more interesting thanks to synchronous and modern infrastructure.
District 2 real estate in Ho Chi Minh City benefits from the infrastructure push
District 2 is an important administrative center of Ho Chi Minh City. Thu Duc City was established, then it helped real estate in District 2 receive more attention. In particular, commercial apartments are expected to be an attractive investment product when welcoming the trend of businesses shifting to a new city. Thanks to the "leverage" of Thu Duc City, land prices on the main roads in the eastern districts of Ho Chi Minh City (districts 2, 9, and Thu Duc) have grown since the beginning of 2021 and are still on the upswing.
From the very beginning, District 2 has been identified by the Ho Chi Minh City government as an expanded central area of Ho Chi Minh City, undertaking commercial, service, and financial functions. This is also an area with many advantages in terms of planning, with a series of large infrastructure projects to connect with the old administrative center and dynamic economic areas in the region, such as the high-tech center, the East Economic Zone, and the East Economic Zone. In the South, a system of continuous seaports on the Saigon River in the modern new urban area of South Saigon.
In District 2, it is the change in infrastructure, especially the transportation system, that has made the East Saigon area the center of attraction for investors in recent years. Prominent are the routes Hanoi Highway, Nguyen Duy Trinh, Luong Dinh Cua, Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay highway, Thu Thiem tunnel connecting East to West, the metro line is gradually being formed, along with ring roads…
Not only investing in modern infrastructure, the landscape design of real estate projects in District 2 is also extremely beautiful.
Not only meet the function but also the people's aesthetic needs. Today, when the needs of residents to enjoy life are increasingly diverse, a real estate project that simply lacks green space and internal utility areas will receive less attention than projects of the same type but designed with closeness and harmony with nature.
Understanding the wishes of customers, real estate projects in District 2 not only focus on design but also build a green, fresh, and close-to-nature living space. Building green living space per capita is the destination of many smart real estate investors.
Hopefully, the above information will help you gain useful knowledge in the process of investing in the real estate market in District 2.

Lu Huijiuan; Zhou; Yunlu Gold and silver in geological standard samples MGI were determined by instrument neutron activation analysis.
The various interferences of nuclides were considered. Corrected factors of the geometry in different positions have been determined.
Using the geological standard sample MGM and radiochemical separation neutron activation method as reference, the reliability of this method is proved. Gold content in samples is 0.
Standard deviation is less than 3. Spectroscopic parameters of BeI and MgI are in excellent agreement with available experimental and theoretical values.
The proposed cooling wavelengths of BeI and MgI are both in the violet region. Curien, UMR,Saint-Etienne France Total ionizing dose TID effects have been studied for a long time in micro-electronic components designed to operate in natural and artificial environments.
Such effects result from basic mechanisms driven by both the shape of the electric field which stands into the oxide and by fabrication process parameters inducing pre-existing traps in the oxide's bulk.
From the pioneering studies based on 'thick' oxide technologies to the most recent ones dedicated to innovative technologies, most studies concluded that the impact of total ionizing dose effects reduces with the oxide thinning. TID effects are now mainly due to charge trapping in the field oxides such as Shallow Trench Isolation.
However, such phenomenon may not be directly extrapolated to higher TID ranges, typically of several MGy for which only few data are available in the literature. Such electrical shifts are encountered.

Australian metalcore legends The Amity Affliction have announced an Australian metro city tour, Not Without My Ghosts, for October 2023.
Supported by Canadian rock band Silverstein, Earth Caller and Winnerz Circle, the tour will kick off in Brisbane on Thursday, 19th October, moving on to Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide before wrapping up in Perth.
The tour marks the band's 20th anniversary, and in all likelihood the release of their much-anticipated eighth studio album.
Vocalist Joel Birch teased the band's new album in November, with a tweet informing fans it was complete.
"New album finished. Mixed. Done," Birch tweeted, adding, "[it's the] Heaviest music we've ever written."
While a release date for the next album hasn't yet been announced, The Amity Affliction have released two new, heavier tracks following Birch's announcement.
'Show Me Your God' was released in November 2022, capping off a busy year for the band, which included a sold-out national headline tour in support of 2020's Everyone Loves You… Once You Leave Them, which reached number two on the ARIA Albums Chart that year, as well as three appearances at Good Things Festival.

"The song is the first in a series of explorations and internal meditations on how our past shapes us and interacts with our various mental struggles in the present, drawing from both personal experience and also the trauma of close friends who have passed away or who have dealt with close loved ones passing away," the band shared at the time.
Follow-up single 'I See Dead People', featuring the late New Zealand rapper Louie Knuxx, was released last month.
Birch explained the intensely personal lyrics detailing "the ongoing and nebulous struggle that comes with dealing with the pain of friends killing themselves, while myself dealing with passive suicidal ideation."

Discover the province of Córdoba: Rute
Overlooking the Iznájar reservoir is the whitewashed town of Rute, dwarfed by the Sierra de Rute that looms above it. It is one of the gorgeous towns that forms part of the Subbética Region of Córdoba.
Rute, which comes from the word "Ruta" in Spanish or "Route" in English, came into existence as a result of Spanish soldiers passing through that area on their way to conquer Granada. However, it later become the site of the first "anis" factory and today it is best known for its manufacture of aguardiente de anís, an aniseed-flavoured liqueur, an industry that has been thriving here since the nineteenth century.
It is also known for its Spanish hams and its ever-increasing "oleoturismo", olive oil tourism, allowing visitors to explore its oil presses, enjoy tastings of the liquid gold and visit thousand year old olive trees. Its mild climate in both summer and winter and its variation of landscapes, which allow a number of different types of olives such as Picuda, Hojiblanca y Picual to grow in the area, give identity to the region's dishes and have earned it various international olive oil awards.
For nature lovers and those hoping to work up an appetite to later try the gastronomy of the area, the Sierra de Rute has peaks of over 1000m above sea level, a variety of flora and fauna and many beautiful routes to be enjoyed. It boasts waterfalls and streams at la Garganta del Río la Hoz, a spring and ruins of Rute El Viejo, a route to see thousand year old indigenous Encina trees, as well as being close to the the Vía Verde (the old olive railway that ran through the province). And if that's not enough, Rute is found close to other exquisite towns such as Priego de Córdoba, Puente Genil and the stunning lake in Iznájar

In the last call for applications, candidates from six continents had applied. A committee of science journalists and scientists selected Carl Smith (Sydney, Australia). The award-winning science journalist and presenter intends to use his stay to delve into science stories and to meet colleagues to learn more about the science media ecosystem in Germany and Europe.
Australian science journalist Carl Smith is the current "Journalist in Residence" at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS). The program gives science journalists the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of computer-based, data-driven science with a longer stay at the institute. In the last call for applications, candidates from six continents had applied. A committee of science journalists and scientists from universities and HITS selected Carl Smith to be the "HITS Journalist in Residence 2021." Due to the Corona pandemic, his stay at the institute had to be postponed to this year. He will work at HITS for six months, until the end of June 2022.
Carl Smith is a staff science journalist and presenter working for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and works on complex science stories across radio, television, and online. Carl has earned degrees in molecular genetics and journalism. He has received a Walkley Award, and has been featured in The Best Australian Science Writing in 2018, 2019 and 2020. He was a finalist for the 2020 Eureka Prize for Science Journalism, and jointly won this Prize in 2021. He also serves as a committee member of the Science Journalists Association of Australia.
The life cycle of stars, materials science and the science media ecosystem
Carl Smith arrived at the institute at the beginning of the year. He has already met with HITS researchers from different groups on several occasions, be it online or "in real life." During his stay he intends to learn more about the methods and the research fields at HITS: "I would like to hear more about new research on the life cycle of stars and about materials science, in particular molecular electronics", he says. As a trained biologist, he is also interested in topics of the Computational Molecular Evolution group.
Carl Smith will collect interviews and new stories, prepare a pitch for a new audio series, and meet other science journalists to learn about the science media ecosystem in Germany. He also plans to visit the scientific institutes in Heidelberg and to travel to institutes around Germany. During his time at the institute, Smith will give an internal seminar with HITS researchers about his experiences in communicating complex topics to children. And last but not least he will also deliver a public talk later that year.
A program for experienced science journalists
Since 2012, the "Journalist in Residence" program offers experienced journalists with a focus on science journalism the opportunity to spend a three-month to six-month paid stay at HITS. In this time, journalists can interact with the research groups, implement their own projects and participate in internal colloquia and seminars of HITS researchers.
To date, ten journalists from India, the U.S., Canada, Australia, Spain and Germany have participated in the HITS fellowship — which started in 2012 with the award-winning German science journalist Volker Stollorz. In the meantime, Stollorz became chief editor of the German Science Media Center in Cologne, a non-profit organization run by journalists that helps journalists with their reporting.
HITS is a private, non-profit basic research institute. It was founded by the Klaus Tschira Foundation in 2010. At HITS, currently around 120 scientists from 20 countries work in 13 research groups in areas where large amounts of data are produced and processed – from molecular biology to astrophysics. One of the institute's aims is to make the public more aware of the importance of computer-based, data-driven science, especially in natural sciences.

About female sensuality and how it can be liberated
Women in our society have only few opportunities to understand and fully live out their special kind of sensuality. There are too much shame, guilt and fear associated with the great power of female sexuality and the physical body. And there is little support for women to liberate and satisfy themselves and their kind of lust.
In this webinar you will get the missing explanations and exercises to generate a healthy, natural connection to the female body and female sensuality.
Rainbow Reiki® clearings, meditating with special light beings such as Lilith, Chiron, Aphrodite, Ishtar and Kali, Pallas Athena and Tara will help to dissolve blockages and to awake potentials.
Key subjects of the webinar…
- What is the difference between female and male lust?
- Healing feelings of shame about one's own beauty
- Loving acceptance of the sexual organs
- Healing the original sin of biblical Eve
- Integrating the wild woman Lilith
- Healing the need to control and the fear of the "chaos of lust"
- Dominance and submission – how a sensual play with power can support healing and self-love
- Why women climax differently than men, why this particular ability is so often blocked and how to liberate it
- Erogenous zones, their spiritual meanings and their roles in the game of lust
- Women and men. What women should know to better understand men and why this is important to find security in a relationship
- Role playing, mirrors, massages and fancy lingerie – what is important about it, why and how it works to increase lust
- Understanding and meaningfully integrating the power, healing force and spiritual significance of the female sex

ONE OF THE year's most anticipated restaurants, modern American seafood concept Navy Blue, has dropped anchor in Rice Village, taking the space formerly occupied by Politan Row. Everything points to success — from its buzzy vibe to the big New York chef Jerrod Zifchak, and the quality seafood, of course. Catch our first bite!
The Vibe
The name pays homage to chef-owner Aaron Bludorn's naval-aviator father, whose call sign was "Blue." Expect a completely reimagined space by Austin-based Föda Studios, who worked in tandem with Courtney Hill Interiors and Gensler to create a design inspired by the idea of an ocean untouched by humanity.
Guests are greeted by an oversize, oyster-shaped wall built with sandy concrete breeze blocks, and a hostess stand conceived as a proverbial pearl. Awash in organic elements in tune with nature, the 110-seat dining room has a clean and crisp aesthetic. But the most striking feature is the huge, gleaming open kitchen where chefs Bludorn and Zifchak orchestrate the magic with a team who occasionally exclaim in unison, "Yes, Chef!"
The Food

The two chefs curated a menu of oceanic delicacies: think thick and exotically-seasoned swordfish au poivre; blackened red snapper with ahi amarillo; and whole Dover sole prepared Almondine, Oscar or Provencal.
Pasta fans should try the clean-tasting linguini Vongole with Manilla clams, addictive seafood risotto, or rich lobster ravioli. Whet your appetite with the cool tuna crudo with fennel and apple, or charred octopus salad with sweet potato and preserved lemon. Or warm it up with the jumbo lump crab cake anointed with celeriac remoulade and tomato chutney. Mouth-watering desserts by executive pastry chef Marie Riddle are a highlight — don't leave without trying the amazing carrot cake with ginger ice cream.
Although most menu items sound like classics, always expect a twist. "We wanted to create a menu with plenty of options and the same kind of approachability that guests love at Bludorn," said Bludorn, adding, "What oysters are to Bludorn, which are done 3 ways — fried, baked, and raw — clams, shrimp and Dover sole are to Navy Blue. We have a running rotation of fresh fish with preparation suggestions, but guests can swap it out however they want. We are flexible when it comes to putting our guests' tastes first — that's why we are here, and we love what we do."
The Seating
Guests enter through a covered sidewalk patio with manicured planters and a few tables. Slender, black-ribbed pendants and plush banquettes soften concrete columns, providing both a chic sense of style and a natural transition to the white-grey Japanese ceramic tile.
A unique steel-and-driftwood light installation brings the softly-lit bar to life. Tucked away to the back of the space, the bar became a hopping scene the first week of opening.
Speaking of scenes, a flexible private dining room ensconced behind the bar can accommodate up to 40 guests for a reserved event, complete with A/V bells-and-whistles and an intriguing mural by Austin artist Emily Eisenhart.
The Service

Expect exemplary service at every turn, including a sophisticated number-tab system for holding to-go items in a "coat closet." Working with his wife Victoria and their partner Cherif Mbodji, Bludorn has enlisted a dream team of veteran hospitality professionals to uphold the same standards of excellence that made his first Houston restaurant a runaway success.
Mbodji oversees the front-of-house operations led by GM Elizabeth Acosta. In the kitchen, executive chef Zifchak earned his culinary chops at the Michelin 3-starred restaurant Le Bernardin before working under Bludorn at Café Boulud New York.
The Dress Code
"At Bludorn, we found that the ultimate luxury was the ability to choose your own dining experience and we plan to emphasize that even more at Navy Blue," said Bludorn. He added, "The ability to come in and enjoy the restaurant without feeling the need to dress up or to feel pressure to adhere to traditional standards of a fine dining restaurant is what we strived to achieve." Expect to see diamonds, denim and everything in between.

A Southampton Couple Mixes His and Hers Elements to Create Warmly Mod Dream Home for Two
THE MAROUNI HOUSEHOLD is a lesson in well manicured restraint — followed by a double shot of playful color. Outfitted by Allie Wood Design Studio, the home in Southampton was built by former Houston Rockets player Brad Miller and purchased by Bellaire High School sweethearts Oren Marouni and Lauren Weingarten Marouni in March 2020.
"I've known Allie since middle school," says Lauren, 35, who is a quadruplet. "We interviewed a couple of decorators, but what impressed me about Allie is that she also has a degree in architecture. She understands space and proportions."
The hallways and room entrances were designed to accommodate the sky-high previous owner. It makes the pint-size lady of the house look almost cartoonishly small by comparison — but Lauren says the thoughtful floorplan and "great bones" won her over.
The first level is all business, with clean white walls and sculptural lighting fixtures and whimsical accent pieces that become focal points in the two-story, 4,600-square-foot home. A number of art pieces were inherited from Lauren's grandmother.
Wood — whose father Preston and husband Aaron Rosenberg are home builders — and Lauren took advantage of the home's nooks and crannies, creating small vignettes out of meaningful pieces like the geometric console table in the first-floor hallway, which also hails from a former classmate, artist Sydney Shatz.
"I wanted her to integrate something besides just wood and resin because I feel like that's standard," says the designer, who prides herself on an ability to source and customize unique pieces at any price point — and on her impossibly long, bright-blonde mane. "We found this great round piece of stone, and she popped it through a wood-and-resin slab so it could be one leg of the table."
Another interesting element is the Kermit the Frog-colored couch in what is lovingly dubbed as The Green Room — which is also one of their pup Bologna's favorite areas. When Oren isn't reading a book on the sofa or Lauren isn't enjoying a sip of Champagne with her friends, Bologna is known to nestle in and watch the squirrels.
Geometric shapes abound in everything from the carpets to the bathroom tiles to give a clean, organized, crisp finish to each room. Wood offers her updated take on the ever-popular all-white, subway-tiled kitchen, with a massive stainless-steel-topped island and cool gray-green accents.
Upstairs, however, Wood and the Marounis let loose. A staircase leads to what can only be described as ultimate hangout spots. The "he room" and "she room" are where the two spend their discretionary time.
Lauren's room is like a designer-savvy take on a Dylan's Candy Bar, evident from the moment the massive steel double doors are thrown open. Funky wallpaper, multicolored art by Sarah Luna that mimics spilled paint, and scalloped and striped throw pillows provide texture, and bowls of colorful candy are irresistibly fun accents.
Meanwhile, Oren's space is a celebration of his alma mater, the University of Texas, with dark peppercorn wall paint, colonial brass shelving and leather furniture complete with burnt-orange accessories.
"These rooms are a way to entertain upstairs and bring people into other parts of the house without it being just a bedroom. These are everyone's favorite rooms," says Wood, who strived to achieve masculine and feminine looks, respectively, "without being cheesy."
For their guests, the Marounis commissioned custom sleeping arrangements down the hall: queen-size bunk beds, situated against leather headboards and cleverly placed sconces. And for the primary suite, Wood purposefully kept the room in a neutral palate, adding only plaster to replace a shiplap wall and keeping the colors serene, including putty and soft metallics, to provide a sense of calmness in an otherwise kinetic second floor.
The one area where Wood splurged? The cluster-bulb pendant lights dangling on either side of the bed. "To dial up the drama."
The towering guest quarters are fit for children and adults alike.
The downstairs living room is lovingly dubbed the "green room," named for the Kermit-colored sofa and verdant views. A Rejuvenation pendant light and rug by Stark complete the space.
The family dog Bologna loves watching for squirrels in the "green room."
The entryway is funky yet welcoming, with Circa Lighting pendants, a table by Four Hands and accessories from CB2 and Area.
The wet bar off the dining room is made for entertaining.
The kitchen is Wood's warm take on an all-white room.

Sara's Secret Caviar was made from micro-grown fresh frozen outdoor cannabis. This extract has a stunning, light yellow appearance and stellar terpene profile. Open the jar to find homogenized mini diamonds throughout a flavour-packed high terpene sauce. When smoked, this caviar has an exceptionally smooth finish and punchy flavours of sweet vanilla, berry and earthy pungent notes.
This lot is incredibly special to us as it was grown by the late Dan Paul. Dan's passion for growing weed started in his early 20s. After retiring from his corporate job in Forestry he devoted his time to teaming up with legacy growers from the Slocan Valley to research the best strains. Together, Dan and Anne-Marie spent their spring and summer caring for their plants and building the business. Tragically, Dan passed away several months ago. This Caviar, with the help of Dan's wife Anne-Marie, was created in his memory.

Are we burning in ignorance?
Bushfires pose a threat in many parts of Australia, but their management can also come at a cost.
In South West Western Australia, there are concerns that prescribed burning plans are having a negative environmental impact on an internationally recognised biodiversity hotspot.
Traditional Owners, scientists and members of the community have been lobbying the state government to reconsider the current prescribed burn regime.

Traveling with your pet or large animal demands a lot of preparation, but we're here to help. Here is some guidance on how to obtain the correct health certificate for your pet or large animal:
A great place to start is the APHIS pet travel website for domestic travel or your destination country's embassy for international travel. While many of the continental United States have similar requirements, Hawaii and Alaska have more unique regulations.
Additionally, each country will also have a specific set of health requirements that the animal must meet before they are allowed to enter the country.
Different countries have varying timelines for when you need to complete certain requirements such as vaccinations, physical exams, blood tests, etc. The sooner you start researching and informing us of your plans, the better!
Some countries have tight timelines such as obtaining an international health certificate within 10 days of travel.
We'll work with you within the required time frame to make sure you get the health certificate just right.
If this is the case, you'll need to mail the health certificate to the APHIS VS Service Center in Flowood, Mississippi.
Be sure to also include your pet's rabies vaccination certificate, import permit and test results (if required by your destination country), payment for endorsement, and a return shipping label.
More information can be found here.
Once you have your pet's health certificate and its endorsement (if needed) it's important to check with the airline you're using for their animal transport regulations.
Furthermore, if you're traveling by rail or by sea, check with the railroad company or cruise line! The airline, rail line or cruise ship may have specific regulations beyond the health certificate that need to be met before your pet is allowed to board.
Finally, for pet travel by car, it's important to ensure your pet or large animal is properly secured in your car or trailer, and that you take breaks as needed.
Traveling with your pet or large animal can be a complicated process, but we're here to make it easy.
All our vets are well-versed in USDA-regulated animal transport across state lines and to other countries.
So, whether you're being stationed overseas, moving to a different state, or simply going for a vacation, we can help you get the right health certificate for a smooth pet travel experience.
Contact us at Entrance Road Veterinary Clinic today at (337) 537-2454 for our expertise in animal transport services!
