Beginning with a 'big dream' from almost fifty years ago, this paper tracks movement back and forth from an inner/individual adaptation to life to outer/collective adaptations through various stages of a life's journey. The rhythm between more inner orientation at one stage gives way to more outer adaptation at another stage and vice versa. This same movement can be paralleled by an exclusive emphasis on analysis at one stage and more of a mixture of analysis and activism at another stage. At the heart of this narrative is the realization that an inner big dream of decades before, symbolised both an inner path of developing a relationship with life-promoting energies and an outer path represented by facilitating others' discovery and participation in those energies. The dream therefore anticipated a more activist future of connecting inner and outer, individual and collective in various professional projects. This has resulted in occasional glimpses of the fact that the 'spirit of the depths' and 'the spirit of the times' can have a common meeting ground.

Criticisms of police use of force policies and the over policing of communities of color have generated calls to reallocate part of the funding that routinely goes to police departments to fund more social welfare programs. In particular, analysts and policy makers have supported the implementation of alternative crisis response programs, such as the use of unarmed behavioral health workers, to reduce police contact and improve mental health service provision to citizens. The present study examined the extent to which one such civilian-based 911 diversion program in St.

Although the marine megafauna often strands on beaches around the world, such as sea turtles and whales, stranding data are poorly managed and incorporated into management and conservation strategies. Here we use a knowledge value chain framework to call attention for the urgent need to improve our data architecture and knowledge management on marine megafauna strandings. We use Brazil, a continental megadiverse federative republic, as study model.

On the other hand, the media serves as a gateway for citizens to access the outside world, shaping their attitudes towards foreign countries.
