This statement of intent represents "the foundation for the future of our military industry complex and the strengthening of Ukraine’s defense for years to come.” ~ Ukrainian Presidential Office head, Andriy Yermak 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇸

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost . . . Ukrainian and U.S. officials signed a statement of intent on the co-production of critical weapons and data exchange between the two countries “to address the urgent needs of Ukraine’s armed forces,” the Pentagon reported.

The document entails that Ukraine will receive the capabilities necessary for its short-term success on the battlefield, long-term economic recovery, and strengthening of the defense sector, according to Ukraine’s Presidential Office.

One of the key priorities outlined in the statement is the localization of the defense industry in Ukraine, the office wrote.

The agreement between Kyiv and Washington will reportedly contribute to the construction of production facilities in Ukraine to supply the military with arms, in particular air defense equipment and ammunition, as well as repair and maintenance services.

The U.S. Department of Defense and industry partners will provide Ukraine with technical data to start implementing local projects aimed at improving outdated air defense systems in Ukraine’s arsenal by integrating Western munitions, reads the office’s report.

“The parallel production of these systems in Ukraine and the U.S. will enable speeding up their deployment and help our country maintain air defense in a combat condition.”

Presidential Office head Andriy Yermak called the document “the foundation for the future of our military industry complex and the strengthening of Ukraine’s defense for years to come.”

The statement of intent was signed at the Ukraine Defense Industrial Base Conference that took place in Washington D.C., on Dec. 5-6.

Открийте, за да дефинирате изявление за намерение

Когато започнем нов проект като нашия, ние веднага мислим как да решим основния проблем: какво може да трябва да реши потенциалният ни потребител? Човек може да се наложи да погълне лекарство: стар метод може да е хапчето или доза сироп. Има обаче и други начини, които може да е полезно да разгледате, за да оформите иновативното решение: Като ново лекарство, което може да се абсорбира от лейкопласт! Kees Dorst, изследовател на дизайнерското мислене, предполага, че трябва да формулираме проблема и да търсим взаимоотношения не само като гледаме какво искаме да постигнем или как ще го разрешим, но също така да вървим към желания резултат. Но през повечето време решението за разработване на нов продукт се основава на предчувствие и усещане за необходимостта от промяна и подобрение. Определете работата, която трябва да бъде свършена – какво искат да постигнат потребителите. Тези потенциални потребители може да се нуждаят и от вторични нужди като: практични или чувствителни; и те също могат да бъдат колективни или индивидуални нужди. Когато се опитвате да отговорите на проблема, наистина трябва да обърнете внимание на тяхното искане. Това усещане е резултат от нашия опит като дизайнери, както и от предишни изследвания по темата. Можете да организирате идеи за мозъчна атака според ценностна диференциация или лесна реализация. Но понякога не е лесно да опишем тези ранни идеи с думи и нашите концепции трябва да „узреят“. Изготвянето на Заявление за намерение ни помага да изясним решимостта си за разработване на иновативни решения. Упражнението също така ще ни води, когато решаваме какво да създадем в подкрепа на иновациите на нашата лабораторна джаджа: наръчник, интерфейс, пакет или просто да изследваме типографията. И така, нека дефинираме тази РАБОТА, КОЯТО ТРЯБВА ДА СЕ СВЪРШИ в изречение, разглеждащо обект, върху който да се съсредоточим, глагол за действие – действието, което ще бъде изпълнено и след това необходимостта и контекста – Какво искат нашите потенциални потребители? Тази процедура ни помага да определим човешката нужда, която се опитваме да задоволим. Използвайте го, за да разберете защо клиентите купуват продукти, услуги и решения, отговаряйки на въпроса: каква е истинската нужда на клиента? Всяка заявка описва много задачи, които нашите потенциални клиенти искат да постигнат или изпълнят с продукта – Това може да са функционални качества: като практични и обективни изисквания; или емоционални качества като чувства или възприятия. Колкото по-добре едно решение отговаря на всички тези изисквания, толкова по-добър шанс има то на пазара. Вашето предизвикателство тази седмица е да обмислите целите и целите на вашия проект и да създадете изявление, което ясно го съобщава. В края на тази седмица ще завършите първия спринт на вашия проект. Не забравяйте да направите преглед на спринта си и да планирате следващия спринт.

Activity 1 : Create the intent Statement for your project Reflect on the goals and objectives of your project and create a statement that clearly communicates them. As always, don't forget to add it to your Trello wall.Mark as done / Създайте декларация за намерението за вашия проект Обмислете целите и задачите на вашия проект и създайте декларация, която ясно ги съобщава. Както винаги, не забравяйте да го добавите към стената си в Trello. Answer: STATEMENT OF INTENT Pfizer from Moderna; Sputnik V or Astra Zeneca? These questions become more relevant as the winter season approaches. In parallel with them, we often ask ourselves the question: are they necessary at all? Isn't it all a matter of psychosis and unnecessary panic? What are the risks of applying vaccines to us.Unfortunately, such doubts are not without reason: recently, a lot of data has come out in which the increased risk of heart attack after the use of the above-mentioned vaccines is taken into account. Since the beginning of November, there have been debates in the British Parliament (as well as in the European Parliament) about deaths and serious illnesses caused directly by vaccines. This year, 16% more (young) people have died from heart disease than in previous years (before the 2020s) at the same time.

While more and more people are asking themselves whether vaccination is really necessary the government campaign continues - widely covered by the mass media (even in some poorer countries of the European Union instead of being free the vaccine is sold and only the traders and private entrepreneurs have profit from it.)

This necessitates a rethinking of the strategy to combat the covid-19 virus. In order to avoid the above-mentioned possible negative emotions and to instill confidence in our customers, we decided to present a completely new concept of covid-19 prevention, emphasizing the fact that more timely awareness of the meaning of such prevention is more effective than vaccination 2-3 or 4 times in a row in one season.

So, our GOAL is: to propose a better strategy than known until now for prevention against the virus covid-19 by developing an appropriate visual identity of a series of medical products that reduce the risk and prepare the autoimmune system to overcome the potential risk of covid-19 infection.

OBJECTIVES for the week 5 is : ---

-Creating a new concept for a new look for our covid-19 prevention product as well as some collateral products. -

-Determination of the target group of users/customers and its location. How to intrigue them?

-Setting deadlines for the implementation of current (weekly) objectives as well as checking their implementation at the end of the week.

Activity 2 : Make your sprint review and plan the next sprintAt the end of this week take some time to reflect on the first print of your project. Did you finished all tasks? What went right and what went wrong? This is the moment to start preparing the next sprint. You will be working on social innovation and emotions. / Направете преглед на спринта си и планирайте следващия спринт В края на тази седмица отделете малко време, за да обмислите първия печат на вашия проект. Свършихте ли всички задачи? Какво се оправи и какво се обърка? Това е моментът да започнем подготовката за следващия спринт. Ще работите върху социалните иновации и емоциите. Answer : OBJECTIVES for next week (6) are : -Making a model/prototype of the product. -Promoting and testing it in various pharmacies and medical centers, as well as reporting its effectiveness (comparing it with the products of competing companies.) -Increasing the efficiency of the product : Organizing brainstorming to increase customer satisfaction with our product by improving functional qualities and emotional perception. Goal: achieving maximum easy and emotionally acceptable realization of the product ~ what visual (and taste) image evokes a feeling of delight on you? - brainstorming ~ what association with medical activity could cause repulsion/emotional barrier in the potential user/client? - brainstorming.

Servitor - Statement of Intent

[Auto-written and subsequently edited on the 23rd day of 2021, anchoring a thought process which began on the Winter Solstice. Initially provided to interested parties to solicit and secure invested support. Shared as-is (grammar mistakes and all) to complement the public announcement, even as further inspiration evolves the concept.]

Over a century ago; The Great Beast, Aleister Crowley, once declared:

“Every Man and every Woman is a Star” (The Book of the Law, 1904.)

Yet every person is more than a single star. We are a vast multitude - a galaxy of stars. A thousand points of light, each representing a different aspect of presence and potential, wilfully or subconsciously cast into the void. In our online activity we create new light, data points which radiate in their own indecipherable luminance. Chaos.

The ancients once stared into the heavens and projected stories into the swirling firmament. A contrivance of imagination, embodying aspects of the psyche in the form of constellations, to model and comprehend the complexity of existence.

In the modern age, we are no less creative. We draw lines of association between the aspects of ourselves that we know, in order to understand the unknown. Inferring what ought to be from the limitation of what is.

We do not exist in static. We are influenced by countless cycles through time and space; visible and invisible. Our place in the cosmos is delimited by day and night, the weather, and more obliquely the realms of planetary movement.

Each of our constellations project into an interconnected, complex, yet opaque mechanism; and new meaning is often impossible to derive.

But the interactions of cycle and metaphorical star can be plotted, analysed and acted upon. We just need better tools to map the complexity of being. The Servitor is this tool.

With consent, the Servitor will apply Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to analyse social media posts, favourite music, and many other aspects. A custom ‘Apophenia Engine’ will infer connections between these disparate points of data. To aid self-understanding and define areas which may be acted and improved upon. To set one’s course in life.

The Servitor will achieve this through regular reports of behaviour patterns. Demonstrating and revealing surprise interactions between the different aspects of our online presence, and how they may be affected by external cycles.

A scrollable ‘timeline’ will show how these different cycles interact with each other, explaining how they can influence our actions, moods and emotions. Revealing new connections and constellations we may not have been aware of.

These constellations will be visualised, to inform and describe your unique, individual complexity.

Fluid, Mercurial, Capricious. The Servitor will learn who you are, constantly updating and revising itself to be the best reflection of the best of you.

As I mentioned in my video uploaded below, I have been finding it very difficult to continue with the acrylic painting of Lilah and really needed to put it aside for the moment to look at new avenues for my FMP.

For inspiration, and to keep myself on the correct track, I have returned back to my statement of intent and looked again at the initial pages of my sketchbook. Although I would have liked to revisit life casting I do not currently have all of the correct materials to do so. I do however have a decent amount of clay that I could put to use in a hope to capture unveiled moments of communication.

Although embryonic, in my experimental stage of the final major project, I had taken two plaster casts from my previous pathway project Mend and Repair. My new plan of action is to create further casts of these at home and fire them in the dustbin in the garden.
