The images have served as memories to Frida, as work tools or as a means to exorcise solitude. The exhibition, curated by the well-known Mexican photographer and photography historian Pablo Ortiz Monasterio, shows the importance of this medium in Frida's life.

From comic books, children's movies, and television programs to iconic stories like Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are and R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series, the monstrous and otherworldly have been long entwined with notions of youthful imagination. However, this relationship has often been problematized both in art and scholarship. This exhibition aims to unpack the "problem" of the monstrous both in art and in life, and explore how it is affected by memory and remembrance."

Phoenix Art Museum's Contemporary Forum Lecture series presents conceptual artist Overton "whose work often begins intuitively as a direct response to her physical presence in a particular space. Through a process of trial and error, she creates sculpture that is performative, sometimes obstructing, bisecting, dividing or joining the architecture of a space with works that are dramatic and minimal in feel. While Overton's work is clearly in dialogue with minimalist sculpture, and in particular with the work of both Donald Judd and Richard Serra, it also deals with the transformation of architectural space.

19 Pawaqqatsi: Life in Transition. A film by Godfrey Reggio with music by Philip Glass. ASU Tempe Marston Exploration Theater - 781 S. Terrace Rd. 6:30-9pm. Gorgeous and hypnotic. Powaqqatsi employs a meditative slow motion in order to reveal the everyday beauty of the traditional ways of life of native people in Africa, Asia, and South America, and to show how those cultures are being eroded as their environment is gradually taken over by industry. This is the most intensely spiritual segment of Reggio's philosophical and visually remarkable Qatsi Trilogy. A singular artist and activist, Godfrey Reggio is best known for his galvanizing trio of films The Qatsi Trilogy. Astonishingly photographed, and featuring unforgettable, cascading scores by Philip Glass (Mishima), these are immersive sensory experiences that meditate on the havoc humankind's fascination with technology has wreaked on our world. From 1983's Koyaanisqatsi (the title is a Hopi word that means "life out of balance") to 1988's Powaqqatsi ("life in transformation") to 2002's Naqoyqatsi ("life as war"), Reggio takes us on an edifying journey from the ancient to the contemporary, from nature to industry and back again, all the while keeping our eyes wide with wonder.info

20 HEART OF A DOG Laurie Anderson's celebrated nonfiction film about love, death, devotion. 3:30 pm at SMOCA rsvp
21 RED DESERT Film at Phoenix Art Museum 2pm $10 "Michelangelo Antonioni's panoramas of contemporary alienation were decade-defining artistic events, and Red Desert, is perhaps his most epochal. This provocative look at the spiritual desolation of the technological age - about a disaffected woman, brilliantly portrayed by Antonioni muse Monica Vitti, wandering through a bleak industrial landscape beset by power plants and environmental toxins, and tentatively flirting with her husband's coworker, played by Richard Harris - continues to keep viewers spellbound. With one startling, painterly composition after another, Red Desert creates a nearly apocalyptic image of its time, and confirms Antonioni as cinema's preeminent poet of the modern age."
24-May 20 IN THE STACKS: PRINT WIKIPEDIA a project by Michael Mandiberg (see AME lecture below) ASU Tempe Hayden Library Upper Concourse. Presented by ASU Art Museum. "Print Wikipedia is a both a utilitarian visualization of the largest accumulation of human knowledge and a poetic gesture towards the futility of the scale of big data. Michael Mandiberg wrote software that parsed the entirety of the English-language Wikipedia database (in April 2015) and programmatically laid out thousands of volumes, complete with covers, and then uploaded them for print-on-demand. Built on what is likely the largest appropriation ever made, it is also a work of found poetry that draws attention to the sheer size of the encyclopedia's content and the impossibility of rendering Wikipedia as a material object in fixed form: Once a volume is printed it is already out of date. The work is also a reflection on the actual transparency or completeness of knowledge containers and history. The exhibition at Hayden Library will include a selection of 61 Wikipedia volumes and schematic wallpaper showing what the scale would be of an entire print library of Wikipedia volumes. These will be located near the Encyclopedia Section on Level 1 of Hayden Library. The 36 volume Wikipedia Contributors Appendix will be on view on the entrance level, which will also feature a projected scroll simulating all of the volumes and the articles they span."

In true Chekhovian fashion, actresses, playwrights, doctors, and novelists bare their souls as they search desperately for the truth of love and art.

"a small play about the big city, small enough to be performed in living rooms throughout Phoenix and big enough to ask how we live in our city now and into the future. The play follows two narratives: the evocative sales pitch of a real estate salesman named Three, and the story of Rick and Jane, a young couple trying to figure out how to sustain a relationship, start a family and live as active members of a city that sometimes seems out of control. Set against the backdrop of turbo gentrification, rising rents, and the insecurity of urban living, OPEN HOUSE asks how we can participate in the ongoing evolution of our city."Featuring our very own Daniel Bird Tobin, Marcelino Quinonez, and Marcella Grassa.

Columbia scholar Carla Stockton is teaming with Arizona artists to explore the potential of her new translation. We are presenting an excerpt of the text with the goal of assessing its future production potential.

Onstage seating at Gammage. 7pm $10-$20 "depicts the complexities of carving out a positive identity as a Black female in urban American culture. In a world where Black women are often only portrayed in terms of their strength, resiliency, or trauma, this work seeks to represent a fuller spectrum of the Black female and the complexity of negotiating ourselves in this racially and politically charged world. BLACK GIRL uses African-American social dancing, rhythmic play, and musical compositions to better illustrate who "black girl" knows herself to be. It is Brown's hope that this work resonates, inspires and encourages Black girls everywhere.

Along the way, several people are invited to share a personal moment in this moving confessional. Each one comes as a face, a body, a posture, a voice, an attitude, an emotion, a point of view, a memory. Their confessions are true, blunt, and intimate. However, soon enough, the van empties again, and roams Beirut; restlessly looking for something, for someone. Presented in "Art of the Real" series at the Film Society at Lincoln Center.

8:00am - 10:00am Steele Indian School Park 300 E. Indian School Rd. (3rd St. and Indian School Rd.) "Chances are you've taken Indian School Road to drive into downtown Phoenix but do you know how the road got its name? Did you know the federal government operated a boarding school for Native American children for 99 years at the corner of Central Avenue and Indian School Road? Come join us for a walking tour of the former school site, which is now Steele Indian School Park, and learn about the history of such boarding schools and the students and people who lived, worked and played on the site. Three buildings remain from the Indian School and all three are on the National Register of Historic Places. The City of Phoenix owns and operates the park and rents out Memorial Hall for public and private events. Learn about the effort to restore the former music building and turn it into a Native American Cultural Center. The tour will be led by a former student who attended Phoenix Indian School. Patty Talahongva is the Community Development Manager at Native American Connections (NAC). She is overseeing the restoration of the music building for NAC and its partner, the Phoenix Indian Center (PIC). Patty attended Phoenix Indian School and will share her memories of the school and show guests how the campus changed through the 99-year history. Interview on NPR with Patty about this project. We suggest going to the Heard Museum prior to the walk to view the current exhibition on federally run Indian boarding schools. Also, bring plenty of water and sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses) as it will be hot. Following the walk we will join Patty at Fry Bread House for a meal and a Q & A session. Lunch is on your own and the walking tour is free. In order to receive updates and additional information please RSVP.

replace the fuel filter. If this doesn't cure it, then the fuel pump is going out. With less than a 1/4 tank, the weight of the fuel isn't enough to keep the pump running at the proper pressure. Have the fuel system pressure checked.

|Is the term "Full-Blown AIDS" used in medical settings?
Nov 26, 2012
s there an article or FAQ sheet from The Body or the CDC stating that the term "Full-Blown AIDS" has been used in ages? It just infuriates me every time it happens!
Response from Mr. Chambers
I agree. There is no difference between "full blown AIDS" and AIDS. Actually, there is very little distinction between HIV positive and AIDS other than the presence of symptoms. Social Security makes no distinction between the two since they focus on symptoms and many HIV positive people have symptoms severe enough to qualify for benefits even though they don't meet the CDC definition of AIDS.
It drives me nuts when I see insurance companies still asking about "AIDS Related Complex (ARC).
I'm sorry I don't know of any articles that takes this issue up for discussion.

A typical grounded bonding wire with a minimum total length of 480 μm for MMIC's and OEIC's is characterized using the method of moments with the incorporation of the ohmic loss as well as the radiation loss over a wide range of frequencies. The distributed ohmic resistance is calculated by an application of the Phenomenological Loss Equivalence Method. The simulated results show the wire resistance and the inductance increase greatly at frequencies above 30 GHz due to the high radiation effect enhanced by the slow-wave effect of the ohmic loss. The bonding wire is highly inductive in most of the frequency range and the maximum quality factor is mostly limited by the ohmic resistance. The results also show the simple static modeling of computer-aided design software that considers only the free-space wire inductance and the shin-effect resistance, overestimates the wire inductance at low frequencies, and is inappropriate at high frequencies due to the high radiation effect. This approach can be applied to many arbitrarily shaped interconnection wires for wideband design and characterization of high-frequency integrated circuits

Quick & Easy Windows Media Conversions on a Mac
by- April 8th, 2005
There are a few other applications out there aimed at Mac users needing to create Windows Media Player files, including Cleaner and Flip4Mac, but only Popwire's application comes in with an under-US$30.00 price tag. Compared to the (around) $500 price for Cleaner, and $179.00 for the Flip4Mac Pro version, I was expecting WMV-9 Export Component for QuickTime to be an application that would leave lots to be desired.
Boy was I wrong.
WMV-9 Export Component turned out to be a great little application for quickly encode WMV files directly from within Final Cut Pro HD (currently, only the HD version of Final Cut Pro is supported). I ran two tests to see how the results came out using a 1 GHz iBook G4 to mimic field conditions for remote compressing and uploading. The project was a trailer that fellow filmmaker Craig Knapp had just cut in full HD resolution using DVCPRO HD media.
Using WMV-9 Export Component for QuickTime
The interface is simple and intuitive and can be opened in Final Cut when the Export tab is selected. Using QuickTime Conversion, select the media format you will convert the sequence into from the list, which includes WMV-9.
|Picture 1: Select QuickTime Conversion
|Picture 2: Then select WMV-9
(Click to see the full-size images)
After selecting the WMV-9 format, you are given several options as to what the ultimate parameters of the compressed video will be, including the frame size, bit rate, and audio rate. There are numerous presets you can use for simplicity, or you can customize the file and compression rates with a variety of variables.
For the first compression test, we chose the "Widescreen Medium" preset, as the original source material was in 16x9. The picture quality of this preset was 80%, and the length of the trailer to be compressed was 2 minutes and 14 seconds of uncompressed HD media. Another option available before the encoding process is started is the ability to embed title description and other information within the video file. That includes information such as author, rating, and copyright material.
The encoding time took around ten minutes on the iBook to process the video file from the HD media into the Windows Media 9 format. The final file size of the video was 2.6 M. That was all it took to convert and compress the trailer in its entirety.
The second test we ran used the same original trailer, but we upped the ante a bit. Choosing the custom option for the encoding, we boosted the image size from 320x180 to the larger 640x360. We also adjusted the image quality from 80% to the full 100% to see how it affected the encoding process.
|Picture 3: The settings for the "Widescreen Medium" preset.
|Picture 4: Adjusted settings in the custom window.
(Click to see the full-size images)
The encoding time was the same for the previous test, running about ten minutes to complete. At full resolution, and with the screen size being 640x360, the file size jumped considerably to a whopping 55 M. Even though the original material came from HD media, the whole process was completed without any type of headaches whatsoever.
Overall, the Popwire WMV-9 Export Component for QuickTime is a breeze to use and manage. If there is ever a time when you need to quickly encode a project or video clip from Final Cut Pro HD for a client running a Windows PC, Popwire really has developed a great solution to satisfy those needs.
The price point alone makes it an attractive application, but the feature set included within the app helped solidify my opinion. Not only is it easy to use -- far less complicated than Cleaner -- it also works with iMovie, so the average home editor can cut their home movies and e-mail them to Grandma on her Gateway or HP desktop.
