Dans l’atelier de My-Van Dam
Je remarque notammentle catalogue Danser Pina de Rosita Boisseau et Laurent Philippe sur les danseurs et danseuses de la compagnie de Pina Bausch, All About Love de bell hooks et The Undiscovered Self de Carl G. Jung. Dans Untitled (Shell Suspension) (2017), elle conçoit des sculptures abstraites qui évoquent par leurs protuberances et leurs formes organiques des organes. Au printemps dernier, My-Van terminalt tout juste la production, pour Art Souterrain, d'une imposante installation (We are all essential/ Nous somnies tous.tes essentiels. elles) qui presentad des témoignages de professionnel·le·s de la santé, de survivant·e·s de la COVID-19, de membres de families endeuillées et de militant·e·s pour la justice sociale.
Puerilities
Elegiac lyrics celebrating the love of boys, which the translator termsPuerilities, comprise most of the twelfth book ofThe Greek Anthology. That book, the so-calledMusa Puerilis, is brilliantly translated in this, the first complete verse version in English. It is a delightful eroticopia of short poems by great and lesser-known Greek poets, spanning hundreds of years, from ancient times to the late Christian era. The epigrams--wry, wistful, lighthearted, libidinous, and sometimes bawdy--revel in the beauty and fickle affection of boys and young men and in the fleeting joys of older men in loving them. Some, doubtless bandied about in the lax and refined setting of banquets, are translated as limericks. Also included are a few fine and often funny poems about girls and women. Fashion changes in morality as well as in poetry. The sort of attachment that inspired these verses was considered perfectly normal and respectable for over a thousand years. Some of the very best Greek poets--including Strato of Sardis, Theocritus, and Meleager of Gadara--are to be found in these pages. The more than two hundred fifty poems range from the lovely to the playful to the ribald, but all are, as an epigram should be, polished and elegant. The Greek originals face the translations, enhancing the volume's charm. A friend of Youth, I have no youth in mind, For each has beauties, of a different kind. --Strato I've had enough to drink; my heart and soul As well as tongue are losing self-control. The lamp flame bifurcates; I multiply The dinner guests by two each time I try. Not only shaken up by the wine-waiter, I ogle too the boy who pours the water. --Strato Venus, denying Cupid is her son, Finds in Antiochus a better one. This is the boy to be enamored of, Boys, a new love superior to Love. --Meleager
Syrian opposition launches initiative to unify ranks, expand National Council
Syrian oppositionists have cast doubts on the Syrian Government acceptance of the Arab League deadline for signing a protocol allowing observers to enter Syrian territory. Dr Muhammad Damis Kilani, head of the Information Office of the National Commission for Supporting the Syrian Revolution, said that the opposition wants the Arab League to refer the Syrian dossier to the United Nations, freeze Damascus' membership of the Arab League rather than just suspend its participation , and oblige Arab countries to withdraw their ambassadors from Damascus, freeze the assets of the Syrian regime, impose an air embargo, ban Syrian civilian aircraft from landing in Arab airports, support the Free Syrian Army while emphasizing the peacefulness of the revolution, and designate a fund for supporting the Syrian people without handing over the money to the Syrian regime. Also, Ahmad Hammudi, general coordinator of the Coordination Committee of the Syrian Revolution in Egypt, stated that the opposition \"wants to refer the crimes committed by the regime to the International Criminal Court [ICC].\" Yesterday, efforts continued in Cairo to unify the ranks of the Syrian opposition and study the requests submitted by several political blocs and parties to join the Syrian National Council.

ACADEMICS SEE SHORT-TERM GAINS FOR KHADAFY, BUT; SAY COUP IS POSSIBLE
John Damis, a visiting professor in goverment at Harvard and former North Africa analyst for the US State Department said: \"Khadafy's position in Libya has been strengthened by the US attacks, but there are lots of reasons that Libyans would be moved to take action against [Moammar Khadafy]. There have been more than 10 coup attempts and military mutinies since 1980. \" Exiles and some Libyans at home resent that Libyan society has been sharply dislocated by the abolishment of the traditional government and its replacement by \"revolutionary committees,\" made up of zealots loyal to Khadafy, Damis said. Also, dissatisfaction is rising now that there is an economic crunch caused by the drop in oil prices. Elements of the regular military are especially upset with Khadafy, who demoted them in favor of his personal \"revolutionary guards.\" Out of all the disgruntled Libyan factions, the regular military has the most resources to sustain a coup, said Damis.
Imagerie d’interface barrage-fondation par inversion de forme d'onde complète
Dans le cadre de l’étude de la stabilité des barrages, la connaissance de l’interface entre le barrage et la roche revêt une grande importance. Le recours à des techniques géophysiques peut apporter des informations complémentaires par rapport aux mesures géotechniques. Nous proposons ici une méthode de traitement des mesures sismiques, l’objectif étant d'obtenir une image de l'interface entre le béton du barrage et le rocher de la fondation avec une résolution métrique. Il s’agit d’une technique de type « Full Waveform Inversion » avec optimisation de forme. Des résultats numériques utilisant des mesures synthétiques montrent la capacité de la méthode à retrouver l'interface avec une précision satisfaisante, pour un nombre limité de points de mesure et en présence de bruit. In the context of studying the stability of dams, imaging the interface between the dam and the rock is of great importance. Geophysical techniques can provide additional information to geotechnical measurements. Here, a method for processing seismic measurements is presented. The objective is to obtain an image of the interface between the concrete of the dam and the rock of the foundation with metric resolution. The proposed technique is based on \"Full Waveform Inversion\" with a shape optimization approach. Numerical results using synthetic measurements demonstrate the method's ability to accurately recover the interface with a limited number of measurement points and in the presence of noise.
U.S. MAY TURN TO SOMALIA NEXT, EXPERTS SAY ; THE COUNTRY HAS THE SAME INGREDIENTS THAT ALLOWED AL-QAEDA TO FLOURISH IN AFGHANISTAN
\"The question now is where will al-Qaeda stage its operations?\" said [John Damis], a specialist in Middle East politics. \"Afghanistan was unique because it was the only government that would give al-Qaeda free run of the state.\"
Gap mutes weather radios in Villages
His radio's silence wasn't a fluke, say National Weather Service meteorologists, who broadcast hazardous-weather radio alerts nationwide. Spotty weather-radio coverage plagues Central Florida's largest retirement community; parts of The Villages, particularly in Sumter County, aren't covered at all. \"They keep telling everybody to get these weather radios, but you're not sure they're going to go off,\" said [Lou Damis], 65, who lives in The Villages of Sumter County. \"It kind of builds a false confidence.\" \"We never had any coverage [in The Villages],\" he said. \"So now we've got all of Sumter County.\"
Somalia's farmers, warlords, landscape attractive to al-Qaida
With al-Qaida virtually eliminated from Afghanistan, the U.S. is likely to turn its attention to countries where al-Qaida still operates, terrorism experts say. \"The question now is where will al-Qaida stage its operations?\" said [John Damis], a specialist in Middle East politics. \"Afghanistan was unique because it was the only government that would give al-Qaida free run of the state.\" Robert Rotberg, head of Harvard's Program on Intra-state Conflict, said Somalia has long had ties to al-Qaida, which was implicated in killings of U.S. troops there during the famine of the early 1990s.
