Do it yourself: pop-up galleries

From Frieze daily editionPublished online: 17 October 2009 What resources do you need to start up a contemporary art gallery in London? You must have inexhaustible reserves of energy, a large helping of missionary zeal, and a healthy dose of chutzpah. These are the consistent responses from a disparate group of young gallerists and emerging dealers currently active in London.

Flow (psychology) Concentrating on a task is one aspect of flow.

Flow (psychology)

In positive psychology, flow, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting loss in one's sense of space and time. Flow shares many characteristics with hyperfocus. However, hyperfocus is not always described in a positive light. Motivation. Motivation has been shown to have roots in physiological, behavioral, cognitive, and social areas.

Motivation

Motivation may be rooted in a basic impulse to optimize well-being, minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure. It can also originate from specific physical needs such as eating, sleeping or resting, and sex. Motivation is an inner drive to behave or act in a certain manner.

The Somali capital, Mogadishu, has in late March and early April 2007 been witnessing the heaviest fighting and most woeful destruction since the start of the civil war in the early 1990s.

Somalia: Mogadishu's ghost days

A local human-rights organisation recorded nearly 400 deaths and more than 500 people wounded during just four days of fighting between the two sides (in their way more coalitions than single entities): the Ethiopian army, operating in support of Somalia's transitional federal government (TFG), versus Islamic fighters and militias from the city's dominant clan, the Hawiye. The primary victims of the violence are, as so often, civilians. The United Nations estimates that as many as 100,000 people have fled Mogadishu since February, among them 47,000 since 21 March alone. Adorno - Freudian Theory and the Pattern of Fascist Propaganda.

The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economies, Societies and Nations, published in 2004, is a book written by James Surowiecki about the aggregation of information in groups, resulting in decisions that, he argues, are often better than could have been made by any single member of the group. The book presents numerous case studies and anecdotes to illustrate its argument, and touches on several fields, primarily economics and psychology. The opening anecdote relates Francis Galton's surprise that the crowd at a county fair accurately guessed the weight of an ox when their individual guesses were averaged (the average was closer to the ox's true butchered weight than the estimates of most crowd members, and also closer than any of the separate estimates made by cattle experts).[1] Types of crowd wisdom[edit]

A message to the Somali youth in 2011. Pics from:camuudnews.com The youth of my people, the future of the nation, I am addressing this letter to you as a person who grew up in a different era than yours.

An era when stories about independence were still fresh; when feelings of Somali nationalism were stronger than clan loyalty; when we sang for a dreamland called Greater Somalia; an era when the blue Somali flag with the five-cornered white star in the middle symbolized a home for all Somalis in the Horn of African region. I am addressing you also as a person who saw all these dreams dissipate; who saw the men and women who fought for these dreams die broken hearted and humiliated and many of them even imprisoned or killed.

Infectious disease in the 21st century Like most people, you probably got your vaccinations as a child and, since then, you’ve had tetanus boosters, maybe some flu shots, and some antibiotics when you needed them. When you catch a germ, you usually recover quickly. Most people in the United States and other developed countries have good reason to feel smug. They are well protected against infectious disease by vaccination, antibiotics, good hygiene, and general good health.

But for people whose immune systems are weakened by age or disease, it’s a different story. What is the status of infectious disease in the 21st century? FAIRBAIRN'S STRUCTURAL THEORY. Richard L. Rubens, Ph.D. Beginning in the early 1940's, W. Ronald D. Fairbairn developed a unique psychoanalytic theory that anticipated and laid the groundwork for some of the most important current theoretical advancements in psychoanalysis. At the heart of Fairbairn's theory was a notion of endopsychic structure based directly on the vicissitudes of human object relatedness --in a way so radically different from other theories of his time that it is only now, a half-century later, that his ideas are finally having their appropriately profound influence on the general spectrum of psychoanalytic thinking.
