Perfect Days

“Perfect Days” nie jest filmem o człowieku, który kocha życie, który cieszy się każdą chwilą, to nie jest film o drobiazgach, prozie życia w japońskim duchu. Film ten, jest o człowieku, który nie chce zostać odnaleziony. Continue reading Perfect Days

continued for @willowswriting from here.

he could just congratulate her, but why would he do that? the words would likely taste bitter on his tongue and he wasn't prepared to address exactly why that was. even if he wasn't convinced this new relationship of hers would actually last. "oh i'm not? is that just in case you get cold feet? that way you can still turn around and run straight back to me?" rowan didn't mind, it wasn't as if he really had any other plans to make a new pact with someone else. he figured he'd get married when his parents told him it was time to settle down, most likely with someone already picked out and waiting for his call. it had happened to his sister. "seems a little unfair to me."

[solarsands]

do you have any interest in making videos about photography/cinematography in the future? vivian anne meier's story seems up your alley

Maybe if I find a topic that includes the few photographers I know, or leads me on a path towards photography or cinematography. There is a lot of stuff like that on YouTube already.

Finding Vivian Meier

Gosh.

She's a fascinating human being.

If there ever was a potential for a Martian to show up on earth in the form of a human being and live life amongst - she is it. She observed the world with such curiosity, and awareness of every single detail around her, and her photographs, are honestly, gorgeous. Like, insanely, incredibly beautiful to my eye. She documented everything's if every-single-thing was worthy of noting. it's amazing, she made an era that could have been lost to memories more present, because she captured every single possible memory or occurrence.

She made photo's of a caliber up there with the great documentarians like Diane Arbus & Henri Carter-Brensson. Her compositions are my favourite part of her skill, they give off a narrative. So crisp and nuanced. The fact that the great museums of our age refuse to acknowledge her body of work, really ruffles my metaphorical feathers, and it's upsetting. Is it because she was a nanny? a lowly poor woman of no consequence? its a shame. I love that we as artists don't need those big institutions anymore, we exist within a different age, and in this age, we can acknowledge and raise the profile of anyone talented, whether the archaic institutions agree to acknowledge the talent or not. The masses have a voice now too.

I don't know why she took all those photos, and kept them all hidden though, I think it could have just been for the sheer joy of doing it? That's enough reason isn't it? not everything has to be done for the thrill of someone else, it could be just because it made her happy in the moment. She stored them like all her other memory keepsakes.

Memories must mean a lot to her.. Do you think it's because her mother also took photo's, that it was her way to be connected to her since she didn't have her with her anymore? Perhaps nostalgia?

I do want to consider ethics though, she is a hugely private human, like, hugely. Utterly eccentric too, she would never in a million years want her work to be seen without her permission surely? the way she kept everything she owned bolted in her room is the big clue to this. So, I mean, saying that now that she's passed she would want the images all over museums, eh, I mean, she can't protest can she? So does John actually believe that she wants the world to see her images (due to her wanting her images printed by her favourite printers in France) orrrr is that something he really wants us to believe? We'll never know.

Just a quick final note, she was obviously unwell, but I also noted how faulty memories can be, some remembered her as lovely, others the opposite...some said she said to use this name, others said another... Perspectives and memories can be coloured by time, so it's hard to know exactly what was true about her, or myth.

Artists are nuanced, and complex creatures.

Several years later, the Soviets send the spacecraft Leonov & crew to Jupiter along with three Americans, including Floyd, to help investigate Discovery and the malfunction of the vessel’s sentient computer, HAL 9000. Keir Dullea returns as the missing astronaut David Bowman while Helen Mirren plays the captain of the Leonov. Bob Balaban and John Lithgow also appear as the other two American astronauts. “2010: The Year We Make Contact” (1984) is realistic science-fiction that’s less artsy and more dramatically compelling compared to its predecessor, “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968). That doesn’t make it better, of course, just different. “2001” raised questions while this one provides answers, which some people inevitably won’t like. The questions include: Why did HAL malfunction? What was the real reason for Discovery’s original mission, unknown to Floyd? What happened to Bowman? What is the purpose of the colossal monolith orbiting Jupiter? Both films compliment and counterbalance each other. This one’s more of a straightforward space adventure in the near future. Unlike Star Wars, which is space fantasy, “2010” is space-oriented adult science-fiction. Star Trek is too, but “2010” is far more realistic, which I appreciate. In other words, don’t expect any Klingons or spacecraft dogfights. This is more along the lines of “Mission to Mars” (2000) and “The Martian” (2015). The film runs 1 hours, 56 minutes. GRADE: B r96sk: A much more standard affair compared to its predecessor. Given that’s the case, I honestly enjoyed this more than ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ – if only because it’s more closer to what I’d personally want from a film than what that 1968 ...

Dengue en Chile: Esto es todo lo que se sabe hasta ahora

Dengue en Chile: Esto es todo lo que se sabe hasta ahora

Se trata de una enfermedad propia de las áreas tropicales y subtropicales, sin embargo, desde 1999 en nuestro país se ha convertido en un tema importante, incorporándose incluso al decreto de Enfermedades de Declaración Obligatoria. Para saber más sobre esta enfermedad viral, Liliana Maier de la Universidad Santo Tomás entrega conceptos claves para su comprensión.

Hace unos días, el Ministerio de Salud confirmó múltiples casos de dengue importado en Chile, sumando un total de 13 pacientes contagiados de esta enfermedad. A raíz de esto, la entidad no descartó la idea de vacunar a la población, pese a que, según explicó el jefe de Epidemiología del Ministerio de Salud, Christian García, “hay pocos países que tienen la vacuna disponible y dentro de las recomendaciones de la OMS está implementarla en lugares donde es habitual, donde tienen temporadas de contagios de dengue”.

La llegada del dengue ha puesto en alerta a la población, pese a que muchos no comprenden bien de qué se trata. Para entenderlo, las académicas de Medicina Veterinaria de UST Santiago, Lilian Meier y Viviana Olave, nos explican todo lo que debemos saber del dengue.

¿Qué es el dengue?

De acuerdo a Meir y Olave, “el dengue es una enfermedad infecciosa de origen viral transmitida por la picadura de un mosquito, denominado Aedes aegypti, infectado”. En esa línea, comentaron que este mosquito “tiene solo reservorio humano, por lo tanto, no afecta a nuestras mascotas ni se transmite de una persona a otra”.

Las académicas sí aclararon que la forma hemorrágica de infección es la más severa de toda e incluso puede causar entre un 1 a un 20% de mortalidad.

¿Cuáles son los síntomas clínicos del dengue?

Las docentes comentaron que los síntomas clínicos de esta enfermedad son: “Fiebre leve hasta fiebre muy alta, dolor intenso de cabeza, dolor retroauricular (detrás de los ojos), dolor muscular y articular, y sarpullido. En algunos casos, incluso, puede no presentar síntomas”.

Liliana Maier y Viviane Olave también hicieron énfasis en que esta enfermedad, generalmente de climas tropicales, puede afectar niños y adultos por igual, pero con síntomas que claramente pueden variar.

Vías de transmisión

Respecto a las vías de transmisión, revelaron que se contagia a través de la picadora del mosquito infectado con alguno de los cuatro serotipos del virus del dengue. Bajo este contexto, las profesionales advierten que, para evitar el contagio en zonas de mayor riesgo, lo óptimo es utilizar ropa que cubra todo el cuerpo; no mantener agua estancada en bebederos, neumáticos o vasijas; usar mallas o rejillas en ventanas y puertas y, por último, tener un control óptimo del vector.

También es fundamental saber reconocer al mosquito, que es de hábitos diurnos, es pequeño, de color oscuro con rayas blancas en el dorso y las patas. Además, se debe considerar que la hembra es hematófaga, por lo que pica preferentemente en las piernas y tobillos.

Cabe recordar que no existe un tratamiento específico para el dengue. “No obstante, detectar oportunamente los casos, reconocer cualquier signo de advertencias de dengue grave y tratar debidamente a los pacientes, son elementos clave en el marco de la atención para evitar que la enfermedad provoque muertes”, señalaron.

Algunos hitos importantes en relación con el dengue, en nuestro país:

Año 2.000 se detecta por primera vez en Chile el mosquito Aedes aegypti, transmisor de dengue, en la isla de Pascua.

Año 2002: Primer brote notificado de dengue del serotipo DENV1, en Isla de Pascua, correspondientes a casos importados.

Año 2009: Se detectaron dos casos autóctonos de DENV4 en Isla de Pascua.

Año 2019: Se notificaron 38 casos de dengue en Isla de Pascua de los cuales 28 correspondieron al serotipo DEV 1 autóctono y nueve casos importados de Tahití.

Año 2020: Se detecta el mosquito Aedes aegyptiae en el norte de Chile y en la Provincia de los Andes. Sin embargo, aún no se ha detectado el virus en Chile continental.

Año 2023: El Ministerio de Salud en Chile (Minsal) decretó una Alerta Sanitaria por la presencia o riesgo de dispersión de los mosquitos Aedes aegypti y Anopheles pseudopunctipennis en Chile en 7 regiones del país: Arica y Parinacota, Tarapacá, Antofagasta, Atacama, Coquimbo, Valparaíso y Metropolitana. No se reporta aún el virus en Chile continental.

Año 2024: Se han confirmado 179 casos hasta el 6 de abril, correspondiendo 135 a casos importados y 44 autóctonos (Isla de Pascua). Recordemos que el dengue es endémico en Isla de Pascua. Y no se ha reportado el virus aún en el continente.
