Posted 6:18PM on Tuesday, June 09, 2009 Pacific Time Mexico City is being added to the list of exhibition venues for 2009. I recently received confirmation that the Enkidu Annual Humanities Summer Conference will display the project's images during conference proceedings. The theme of this year's conference, according to its organizers, is to "interrogate storytelling, memories and identity constructions from a wide range of perspectives, and in their manifold cultural and social manifestations." The nature of the conference is global, with presenters hailing from around the world. In addition to accompanying the House is Small exhibit, I am presenting on two topics, including a paper entitled, "Re-visioning the myths of poverty and oppression through first-person practices of participant produced photojournalism." The proceedings take place in the National Human Rights Commission of Mexico.

Photo exhibition in Mozambique shows impact of AIDS through the eyes of children
Posted 7:34AM on Tuesday, July 15, 2008 Pacific Time Last year, 21 children aged 11 through 17 took to the streets of Maputo with cameras to document their lives and their communities. Over the course of two weeks, with help from a team of professional photographers, they opened the doors of their homes and learned how to tell their stories through the camera's lens.

What Does the World Health Organization Say About the Therapeutic Use of Cannabinoids?
Confidence is one of the most attractive features, so it’s necessary to calm down before an important date. If the girl of your dreams notices that you’re nervous, it’s unlikely that she’ll go out with you again. CBD cigarettes can help you relax and feel less stressed out on a date. Thus, you’ll increase your chances to impress a beautiful girl with the help of CBD.
If you haven’t ever used CBD, you may doubt about starting taking hemp-extracted products. The first fact you have to learn about cannabinoid products is that they’re safe for your health. They contain only natural ingredients and zero chemical compounds. Besides, it’s been proved that CBD has amazing healing properties that help people struggle with emotional and physical issues. The World Health Organization states that the therapeutic use of cannabinoids can help treat Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, cancer, and other diseases.
Here are the top benefits of CBD:
CBD is safe for your health
CBD doesn’t cause dependence, side effects, and hallucinogenic effects. Widely available hemp-derived products contain the allowed amount of THC, the element that can change the mental state. According to Farm Bill, the permitted dosage of THC is limited to 0.3%. So, if you’re wondering, “Is CBD legal?” the answer is “Yes.” However, it’s necessary to check the ingredients to make sure that the product contains the allowed dosage of THC.
CBD helps cope with anxiety
The latest studies show that CBD helps fight different forms of anxiety. They include social phobia, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. CBD cigarettes can essentially improve the quality of your life, so it makes sense to add it to the everyday routine.
CBD doesn’t cause adverse side effects
Of course, the wrong dosage of CBD can cause a headache or nausea, but you won’t face any problems if you choose the dosage correctly. However, the interaction between CBD and other drugs may cause adverse effects. If you take other medications, it’s better to follow the doctor’s advice concerning the dosage and treatment schedule. Besides, you should remember that the product shouldn’t contain more than 0.3% of THC. If you don’t want to get the undesired effect or break the law, check the ingredients and local regulations because some of them require attention like stringent ?BD rules in South Africa.
