    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media contacts: March 23, 2016 Chalena Cadenas 310.360.1981 [email protected] Mauli Singh [email protected] Writers and Creative Advisors Selected for Drishyam | Sundance Institute Screenwriters Lab in Udaipur, India April 4­8 Lab Recognizes and Supports Six Emerging Independent Filmmakers from India Los Angeles, CA — Sundance Institute and Drishyam Films today announced the artists and creative advisors ​ selected for the second Drishyam | Sundance Institute Screenwriters Lab in Udaipur, India April 4­8. The Lab ​ ​ supports emerging filmmakers in India, as part of the Institute’s sustained commitment to international artists, which in the last 25 years has included programs in Brazil, Mexico, Jordan, Turkey, Japan, Cuba, Israel and Central Europe. Now in its second year, the four­day Lab is a creative and strategic partnership between Drishyam Films and Sundance Institute, and gives independent screenwriters the opportunity to work intensively on their feature film scripts in an environment that encourages innovation and creative risk­taking. The Lab is centered around one­on­one story sessions with creative advisors. Screenwriting fellows engage in an artistically rigorous process that offers lessons in craft, a fresh perspective on their work and a platform to fully realize their material. Leading the Lab in India is Drishyam founder, Manish Mundra. He said, “A beautiful heritage city in my hometown ​ ​ of Rajasthan, Udaipur forms an ideal writers retreat, and is the perfect environment for a diverse group of emerging writers and renowned mentors to have a refreshing and productive exchange. Our goal is that the six selected Indian projects, after undergoing a comprehensive mentoring process, will quickly move from script to screen and make their mark globally.

  • Baghawad Gita, Class 184: Chapter 14, Verses 19 to 14
    Baghawad Gita, Class 184: Chapter 14, Verses 19 to 14 Shloka # 14. 9: 14.9 O scion of the Bharata dynasty, sattva attaches one to happiness, rajas to action, while tamas, covering up knowledge, leads to inadvertence als Continuing his teachings Swamiji said today, in the last few classes, we saw that our higher nature known as the sakshi svarupam is ever nirgunam and therefore is free from the influence of the three gunas; but our vyavaharika nature, our lower nature, which is called ahamkara is a mixture of the body-mind complex, as well as the reflected consciousness. And till the ahamkara consists of the body-mind complex and till the body-mind complex is born out of prakrti, the ahamkara can never escape from the three gunas. And therefore, our body-mind complex is made up of three gunas and the ahamkara which consists of this body-mind complex is the necessarily made up of these three gunas, and therefore, we can never escape from them. We have to live with this saguna ahamkara. And once we are forced to live with this ahamkara, it is better that we understand the ahamkara well, so that we know how to handle it properly. Science is able to handle the nature more and more only because science has been able to know nature more and more. Knowledge gives the capacity for better handling. And therefore Sri Krishna says: you have to understand your own ahamkara very well. For that, you must know what type of ahamkara you have; which guna is dominant, which guna is in middle; the second place, and which guna is the lowest; better you understand and you also know how these gunas influence your vyavaharika life; both material life, as well as the spiritual life.

Scientists around the world are still studying rocks and soil samples that were collected, by the Apollo 11 through 17 missions, using modern equipment, methods and technologies. The return of samples has allowed the field of planetary science to advance in ways unthinkable with the restrictions of in-situ analysis and remote observations. As for every other aspect of the Apollo programme, the design and manufacturing of the tools uti- lized by astronauts for sample collection had to meet rigorous planetary protection requirements, whilst respecting stringent environmental and operability constraints. Many of those tools went through various redesign efforts, based on feedback from the very skillful and resourceful astronauts using them. In future planetary exploration missions, geological and geo-microbiological sampling will be a key to further devel- opment of our understanding of the evolution of the solar system, and to develop successful technologies for in-situ resource utilization and 3D printing.

All these activities were key to widening awareness of ESA to a young European audience and bringing the focus on space in an inspirational and accessible setting. Luca's set was followed by that of his mentor, German DJ Le Shuuk. Luca had taken time out of his busy pre-flight training schedule earlier this year to work with Le Shuuk and receive a briefing on how to mix tracks. Le Shuuk prepared a personal playlist for Luca to take with him to the Station, and provided specialist DJ software that was uploaded ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano made space (and music) to the astronaut's tablets in space. history on 13 August 2019 when he broadcast the first DJ music set from orbit, performing to an audience of over 3000 people as part of the BigCityBeats WORLD CLUB DOME Cruise Edition.

  • European Space Agency: Astronaut Recruitment Drive for Greater Diversity
    European Space Agency: Astronaut recruitment drive for greater diversity Jonathan Amos Science correspondent @BBCAmoson Twitter The European Space Agency says it wants to recruit someone with a disability as part of its call for new astronauts. Esa will be accepting applications in March to fill four-to-six vacancies in its astro corps but it wants this draft process to be as inclusive as possible. The search for a potential flier with additional functional needs will be run in parallel to the main call. The agency has asked the International Paralympic Committee to advise it on selection. "To be absolutely clear, we're not looking to hire a space tourist that happens also to have a disability," said Dr David Parker, the director of Esa's robotics and human spaceflight programme. "To be very explicit, this individual would do a meaningful space mission. So, they would need to do the science; they would need to participate in all the normal operations of the International Space Station (ISS). "This is not about tokenism," he told BBC News. "We have to be able to justify to all the people who fund us - which is everybody, including people who happen to be disabled - that what we're doing is somehow meaningful to everybody." Individuals with a lower limb deficiency or who have restricted growth - circumstances that have always been a bar in the past - are encouraged to apply. At this stage, the selected individual would be part of a feasibility project to understand the requirements, such as on safety and technical support. But the clear intention is to make "para- astronauts" a reality at some point in the future, even if this takes some time.

  • LSG Group Develops New Dish for Space Station
    LSG Group develops new dish for Space Station Jörg Hofmann of LSG Group's Center for Culinary Excellence The LSG Group is preparing an additional dish to support European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer on his Cosmic Kiss mission on the International Space Station (ISS). As part of the virtual music and culinary event "BigCityBeats Space Club Kitchen" organized by the Frankfurt concert promoter of the same name, Maurer will enjoy a beef rendang with vadouvan rice, azuki beans and yogurt. Participants hoping to enjoy the classic dish from Indonesia alongside the astronaut can order a “space box” or prepare it in their own kitchens using a provided recipe. The recipe comes from well-known TV chef Tim Mälzer, who chose the specialty for its globally appreciated flavor combination of coconut milk, onions, garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, kefir lime leaves and tamarind for the braised beef. It is also one of Maurer's favorite dishes. The challenge for the LSG Group was to ensure that the recipe and all its components were safe for space and could be preserved unrefrigerated in cans through autoclaving for at least 24 months – all without compromising on taste. "We are proud to support the project, and of the impressive result. Braised dishes and rice are particularly suitable for space food. Matthias Maurer can look forward to a tasty treat," explains Jörg Hofmann, Head of Center of Excellence Culinary at LSG Group, in today’s announcement. As part of the company's long-standing cooperation with ESA, he already developed the bonus food for Alexander Gerst in 2018 and, most recently, the Saarland specialties that are intended to sweeten Matthias Maurer's time on the ISS with a culinary reminder of home.

  • Coronavirus (Covid-19)
    Coronavirus (Covid-19) LIVING IN ISOLATION HERE ON EARTH AND AMONG THE STARS LUXEMBOURG, BERLIN, PARIS -- Asteroid Day, the official United Nations’ day of global awareness and education ​ ​ ​ about asteroids and the European Space Agency (ESA) connect Europe and the world with astronauts and celebrities with a ​ ​ ​ message of hope and inspiration. WHEN? Thursday, 26 March; from 16:00 - 21:00 CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME ​ WHERE? SpaceConnects.Us We can also provide you with a broadcast or web signal of the feed. ​ ​ The world is at a historic standstill. Borders are closing and millions of people are quarantined due to the spread of COVID-19. While we fight this battle and defeat the invisible enemy, solidarity and mutual encouragement are more important for us than ever before. We want to send out a message of unity and hope, join forces and give us, especially our children and youngsters, confidence in our intelligence, our science, ourselves and the place we live in. When we asked space agencies and astronauts whether they could help us to learn how to go far and beyond, how to cope with staggering challenges and find mental and physical practices to live in isolation, the answer was overwhelmingly positive. We are launching a virtual global town hall to exchange with them and all those who are fascinated by space and ready to learn from it. The #SPACECONNECTSUS PROGRAM: Remote sessions with astronauts and guests from all over the world who speak to ​ children, young adults and their families and friends about their experience and techniques in confined places and what else space may provide to help, their trust in science and the sources of their inspiration.
