Art in Action: Artists’ Case Studies
Deadline: April
Scottish Contemporary Art Network
In a harsh financial climate and a moment of continued review, we want to raise awareness among policymakers of the fragility of the visual arts sector, the myriad pressures upon it and the huge contribution we make.
In support of our ongoing Art in Action campaign, we are looking to commission case studies of contemporary artists making a living in the field. Having successfully launched in May 2019, SCAN initially identified seven case studies to showcase ground-breaking sector activity. SCAN is using the case studies to better tell the story of contemporary visual arts in Scotland, reinforcing understanding of the important role that art organisations and artists are playing right across civic life and evidencing the impact to policy-makers.
The case studies will be shared directly with key policy-maker contacts as part of our second year of campaigning, as well as on the SCAN website, across other platforms like press/radio and at SCAN’s public events. The participating artists can also use the content created for their own use.
To aid in gathering the material for the case studies, we are working with BOP Consulting, who will hold phone interviews with the successful artists in early June, and then work directly with them towards tailoring the online content. For examples of previous case studies, please visit the Art in Action blog www.action.art.blog/case-studies/. We hope to launch this second phase of case studies in July 2020.
This is a paid opportunity, and we will reimburse artists for two days of work at our regular day-rate of £175. Please send us a cover letter (1 A4 page max) indicating why you would be interested in this opportunity, and a short CV (2 A4 pages max) to demonstrate your professional experience. Deadline for submissions is midnight, 20 April 2020. Please send your applications to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>LOCAL OPPORTUNITY

Call for Papers – Performing the North / South
Deadline: August
Special Issue Scottish Journal of Performance Vol. 6 (2)
Deadline for Proposal: July 20 2020
This themed issue of the Scottish Journal of Performance will focus on relations between North and South in performance practice and theatre studies. The journal presents an open access platform for performance researchers based in Scotland, and for all scholars writing about theatre and performance in relation to Scotland. In this tenth issue the editors wish to interrogate the geographical perspective of the journal and the political implications of that perspective for a voice for critical art-making in the so-called Global North: we wish to reinforce the position of the Scottish Journal of Performance in the fight against embedded inequality and racism in educational institutions and communities. This edition is open to any international arts practitioner, or scholar investigating the performing of North / South, who wishes to contribute to this discourse.
Geopolitical and cultural codings of North and South continue to haunt our critical views of the world and its cultural representations. Glasgow-based historian Benjamin White has remarked on the dominant mode to refer to the ‘US-Mexican’ border when scholars analyse undocumented migration across the Arizona desert. This is telling insofar as ‘it shows where they (we) are looking at that border from: the US’, from the North (2019). This special issue seeks to challenge such predominant modes of looking ‘from the North onto the South’ and asks about the usefulness of the ‘North-South’ concept.
At the same time we ask ourselves why is decolonisation becoming more popular among academics of the ‘Global North’ now, and what are possible pitfalls? What are the crucial differences in the meaning of decolonisation for postcolonial spaces in the North and South? Can Scotland legitimately be considered as one of the colonized nations of the Global North?
What Stuart Hall stated ten years ago in conversation with Les Back now seems more acute than ever: Britain will never go back to being a culturally homogeneous society ever again. It can’t. I mean it can have purges, it can throw people into the sea. It can enforce assimilation but it can’t go back to being stable and steady on its own mono-cultural foundations. (2009).
Therefore, we encourage a variety of Northern / Southern, in-between and hybrid voices in this special issue. We welcome proposals which work through the positionality of the author(s), and might not easily fit given epistemologies; proposals which name and contest cultural, racial, class-based and geopolitical borders and stay vigilant about how cultural values, aesthetics and other representational regimes continue to reproduce colonial structures.
Please send 250–350 word proposals plus a 100 word bio for articles, interviews, practice-as-research essays or provocations that attend to the performing of North / South. The journal also welcomes multi-media submissions.

OPEN CALL: GRADJOB
Deadline: November
Embassy Gallery
GRADJOB is a collaboratively produced learning and un-professional practice programme which aims to support recent graduates across eight months.
GRADJOB, in its third iteration, aims to reach graduates working across a range of disciplines and varied artistic approaches, across Scotland, to build a useful and supportive dialogue and resource.
The programme will begin in April 2021 and the curriculum will be based around six intensive weekend gatherings. These sessions will focus on graduate needs within Scotland today. The programme was designed based on the feedback of previous participants and new GRADS will have the opportunity to shape the programme throughout.
Regrettably, GRADJOB emerged from the lack of support, exploitation, and precarious working conditions experienced by emerging artists currently working in Scotland. It aims to offer support and inspiration to artists and organisers in the early stages of their career and who are in need of practical advice about how to survive, thrive, and develop their practice. GRADJOB celebrates learning how to: create opportunities, keep going, EAT LUNCH TOGETHER, write applications, MAKE TIME, build audiences, work collectively, make your own art world, SAY NO, juggle things, make friends, MESS IT UP, stay confident and grounded, find spaces, expand networks and be proactive!
The selected residents will work collaboratively throughout the programme, along with invited educators, artists and organisations. Sessions will take the form of workshops, events, discussions, meals, screenings and trips.
Graduates selected for GRADJOB will be expected to commit to full involvement in and engagement with all aspects of the programme, which will run from April through October 2021. Participants must commit to at least 5 sessions out of 6. Please do not apply if you cannot commit to participating fully.
We are looking for applicants who are ambitious, open, questioning, and supportive of others. Applicants must be keen to explore practical and inspiring ideas which contribute to the development and sustainability of projects, careers and communities.

Surgeon’s Hall Museums, in partnership with the Leverhulme Trust, is looking for a resident artist to be part of the re-hang of the anatomy room in 2020.
Surgeons’ Hall Museums reopened in 2015 after a major £4.4 million Heritage Lottery Funded redevelopment project.

We can offer a fee of £2,500 towards the commissioning of a new work to take the position of a curiosity, as well as access to the University of Edinburgh’s biology and medical departments.

Research Consultancy: Mapping Abbeyhill and Dumbiedykes Regeneration Projects
Deadline: January
Edinburgh University
Mapping Abbeyhill and Dumbiedykes Regeneration Projects
In this ever-changing global landscape, we believe regeneration is integral to the sustainability and growth of the city of Edinburgh, as well as to balanced societies. As the city transforms to host an ever increasing temporary August population, it is crucial that we re-assess the efficient use of central city space, and it’s potential for supporting this continued tourism. A mapping of the two development projects underway in Abbeyhill and Dumbiedykes is a hugely beneficial exercise in assessing the value of the ecosystem and the positive impacts the regeneration is having on the neighbourhoods.
The purpose of this mapping report is to build an up-to-date overview of the areas, and network of its local citizens. The report will help facilitate an understanding of the progress and change of the regeneration schemes as they advance over the years and will be an invaluable resource of information for the university as it moves to direct further resources to other areas around Edinburgh.
Eligible applicants must be a respected researcher in the fields of urban development, or a creative professional working in Scotland.
The applicants must have in-depth knowledge of the cultural landscape of Edinburgh; some established connections with organisations and key stakeholders in Dumbiedykes and Abbeyhill; and experience in conducting mappings and research in the creative field and civic regeneration. A stipend fee of £4,500 is available for this work.

Last weekend, an exciting study jam was held by Flutter Pakistan in Karachi bringing together developers from various technical backgrounds. Receiving more than 200 registrations this time, the final selection lead to 60 plus developers participating in the hands-on session on the event day. The event was conducted in collaboration with 10Pearls.
The study jam comprised of theory combined with some basic concepts on Flutter’s development experience. It highlighted the fact that Flutter works as a cross-platform UI development kit allowing developers to craft beautiful, natively compiled mobile, web and desktop application from a single codebase. Waleed Arshad, one of the founders of Flutter Pakistan gave the opening key note which revolved around these concepts and described the uniqueness of Flutter compared to other platforms. Live code was demonstrated to depict the swiftness, efficiency and standardisation in development using Flutter.
Participants actively worked on live code during the CodeLab session where the Official Google CodeLab was used to demonstrate Flutter architecture, videos on basic UI building, material design, custom layouts and application connection to backend services. The CodeLab helped participants get a complete hands-on experience with Flutter and also allowed them to apply their creativity in building applications using this platform.
Asadullah Bin Yousuf, founder of Flutter Pakistan, ended the event with a keynote and the Flutter Pakistan Team distributed goodies to all participants present at the event. The event was also running live on the Flutter Pakistan Facebook page for those who were not able to attended it, videos of which can be found on the page.
All developers who participated in the event were highly pleased and excited to be a part of it and expressed their eagerness to participate in such events again.
We are happy to receive such positive feedback and will be keeping you all posted on the details of the next event. Stay tuned!

title: Building a Web Application with Java 8 and VRaptor 4 under Wildfly
---
# Building a Web Application with Java 8 and VRaptor 4 under Wildfly
## by Rubens Saraiva
Some months ago Java 8 was lauched, with new features and APIs. And some weeks before, the VRaptor, a brazilian framework, was launched too.
VRaptor 4 was complete refactored to support CDI built-in, and now are compatible to use Java EE 7 resources.
In this post I will explain how building a VRaptor 4 Application, used new features of Java 8 and running on the WildFly 8, the new Application Server built by JBoss that implements Java EE 7. The database used by this article will be HSQLDB, available out of box by Wildfly.
The complete application code is available [here](http://github.com/rsaraiva/v4_wildfly_jta).
To start, create a maven web project using your favorite IDE. Open the Maven configuration file ,`pom.xml` and include the dependencies described in the file below.
~~~
#!xml
4.0.0com.rsaraiva.labsevents1.0wareventsUTF-8br.com.caelumvraptor4.0.0.Finalbr.com.caelum.vraptorvraptor-javatime4.0.0.Finaljstljstl1.2org.hibernatehibernate-entitymanager4.3.5.Finalprovidedjavax.injectjavax.inject1providedjavaxjavaee-web-api7.0providedorg.apache.maven.pluginsmaven-compiler-plugin3.11.8
~~~
The first dependency of you project is VRaptor 4, and before we need to include `vraptor-javatime` to allow VRaptor to work with new Java Date API. And the next step will include Java EE dependencies like JSTL, JPA provider and so on. And most important: we need to declare in plugins node that we want to use Java 1.8 compilation.
Now we will create our model - a simple entity to represent Events.
~~~
#!java
@Entity
public class Event implements Serializable {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Integer id;
private LocalDate date;
private String description;
public Event() { }
public Event(String description, LocalDate date) {
this.description = description;
this.date = date;
}
// gets and sets
}
~~~
As you can see, the date attribute was declared as `LocalDate`, the new class introduced in Java 8.
But for that to be possible, it's necessary create a JPA Converter, since the JPA 2.1 still not support the types of the new Date and Time API.
~~~
#!java
@Converter(autoApply = true)
public class LocalDatePersistenceConverter implements AttributeConverter {
@Override
public Date convertToDatabaseColumn(LocalDate entityValue) {
return (entityValue == null) ? null : Date.valueOf(entityValue);
}
@Override
public LocalDate convertToEntityAttribute(Date databaseValue) {
return databaseValue.toLocalDate();
}
}
~~~
This converter needs to be registered in the `persistence.xml` as describes below.
~~~
#!xml
java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDScom.rsaraiva.labs.vraptor4.jpa.LocalDatePersistenceConverter
~~~
Now we will create a `Service` , the logic class to create and list events. Notice the integration with JavaEE with the annotations `@Stateless` and `@PersistenceContext`.
~~~
#!java
@Stateless
public class EventService {
@PersistenceContext
private EntityManager em;
public void persist(Event event) {
em.persist(event);
}
public List findAll() {
return em.createQuery("select e from Event e order by e.description").getResultList();
}
}
~~~
Now we will use the CDI to inject the service in the VRaptor controller
~~~
#!java
@Controller
public class EventController implements Serializable {
@Inject
private EventService service;
@Inject
private Result result;
@Get("/events")
public void event() {
result.include("events", service.findAll());
}
@Post
public void add(Event event) {
service.persist(event);
result.redirectTo(this).event();
}
}
~~~
Our controller have two methods. The first uses `EventService` for querying all events registered and includes the list in the JSP context. The second receive the 'post' from JSP form and persists the event into database.
In the end, we must create a jsp with a events list and the register form.
~~~
#!jsp
<\%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"\%>
<\%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" \%>

The area of a triangle is calculated with this formula: $$ perimeter = width+width+length+length$$ or: $$ perimeter = (2*width)+(2*length) $$
Here you can put the value for the length and width of a rectangle so you can calculate its perimeter.

Psilocybin & Mushrooms - P. cubensis
It was Thursday November 4th, 2004. My companions and I had arrived at the farm where we usually hunt the night before. Since it had been raining this day, there was no chance for spotlighting this night. So this was the perfect opportunity for my shamanic initiation.
The previous day, I had acquired about 8 grams of dried mushrooms and some liquid psilocybin equivalent to another 5 grams of powdered mushrooms. I swallowed the liquid first, on an empty stomach of course. I could feel a slight sensation after about 10-15 minutes. Then I added the powder to some water in a mug and swallowed that also.
At this point, it would be irresponsible for me not to stress that this is about TRIPLE the dose most people would take for the same effect. This is because I am a rather large person (102 KGs), and I seem to have a high tolerance for any such substance.
I then sat by the camp fire, listening to the wind in the trees while I contemplated what was about to happen. After about 45-50 minutes I heard a 'voice' calling to me. It wasn't audible in the normal sense - it came from inside my own mind! It was a woman! ' Yooo-hooo Cameron! Come on Cameron - it's time', she beckoned. I then retired to my tent where I smoked 4 large cones of strong cannabis. I then zipped myself into my swag (like a large sleeping bag made of canvas and with a rubber 'mattress' built into the base).
Then I was GONE - out of this world. I escaped into what I perceived to be the outer boundaries of my mind or my imagination. This placed presented itself as a natural forest with low light. Here I met the owner of the aforementioned voice - the Mushroom Goddess. She took the form of a white, strapless, ankle-length dress, standing side-on from me.
For about the next two hours I dialoged with her, becoming totally bewitched by her charm, her wit, her intelligence, her knowledge, her unconditional affection for me and her seemingly infinite perspective. I have come to think of her as my other-worldly girlfriend.
We 'dialogued' about many things. This took the form of telepathy. Sometimes the communication was 'verbalized' - meaning that the thoughts sometimes took the form of words - sometimes not. My experiences with telepathy have been few, but nonetheless, this mode of communication seemed as natural and familiar to me as eating or walking.
I recall saying to her 'I recognize you!  YOU gave us sentience. YOU gave us speech.  Where are you taking us now?! To extinction? To oblivion?' Her reply was thus 'Yes it is I. Stop worrying. STOP IT!! We've done this many, many times before. We haven't lost one yet.' By this she meant that she had formed symbiotic relationships with animals elsewhere and taken them on an evolutionary journey.
For about the first hour of our conversation, an ambient music attended her presence. I understand that audio hallucinations are rare, so I feel all the more privileged. She offered the music to me. I didn't ask her to elaborate by what she meant, but the thought of making a profit or income from it was abhorrent to me. At this point I said that I think that I have better taste in music than she, citing (the Psy-Trance band) Infected Mushroom as an example. Abruptly, the music ceased and did not return for the duration of the trip. She replied asking where I thought Infected Mushroom's music came, suggesting that she was the inspiration for it.
Then it was as though I was 'pushed' out of 'my' mind into whatever that is that lies beyond. The closest analogy I can find is to liken it to swimming out beyond the surf into that DEEEEP ocean of mind. Exactly what this mind is I cannot be certain. It may be Jung's collective unconscious, or it may be the mind of the mushroom itself. Perhaps the mind of 'god', whatever that is. After having had time to ponder and process my experience, I'm inclined to adopt the middle view.
I was now 'traveling' at immense speed (I liken it to the speed of light) through a 'space' totally disjoint and unlike anything here on Earth. There was no 'ground' - no up or down. This dimension was filled with the most intense colours and geometric patterns. Such exquisite beauty I have never before beheld. I did not discourse with the goddess in this realm, nor did I sense her immediate presence. Yet I sensed that it was she who guided me through this journey. She showed me many things, including a huge space ship (which mush have been half the size of Tasmania) in orbit around an enormous planet. It was a faintly glowing white and semi-transparent. I intuited that this was the 'hyper-light drive ship' of which the Goddess told Terence McKenna, and my intuition seemed to be confirmed. It was similar in shape to Star Trek's 'Enterprise'.
Then I was shown futuristic cities, some of them suspended in space!! But I was not shown any of their inhabitants. The journey in this dimension continued for about 3 hours, after which time I was deposited back into my mind, into my body and into my reality as though nothing had happened, apart from the fact that I was very deeply impressed. At no time did I feel any anxiety. I knew from the outset that this was the safest journey upon which I had ever embarked.
Since that time, the question which begs most in my mind about my experience is 'What did I ever DO to deserve such a miraculous thing?'. The only answer I can find is that this was my reward for seeking truth so passionately, never being satisfied to allow religion, the establishment, the mass media, science or even myself to define truth for me. A reward for my skepticism maybe.
Despite my speculations about my initiation, I DO know that it is the definitive point of my life. Something of another rebirth, and something which has restored my hope for the future and the continued survival of our species.
