Berndt Biennial Lecture from Prof John Carty presented by The Berndt Research Foundation
'To Imagine an Australian Museum'
Berndt Research Foundation Biennial Lecture - Prof John Carty
Presented by The Berndt Research Foundation in partnership with the Berndt Museum of Anthropology
The Professor Ronald M and Dr Catherine H Berndt Research Foundation and Berndt Museum, invite you to the 2018 Ronald M and Catherine H Berndt Biennial Lecture with Guest Speaker Professor John Carty.
The address will be followed by a reception at the University Club, Hosted by the Berndt Research Foundation Members.
Museums are our memory banks. They tell us where we have come from. They also allow us to imagine where we are heading. Which is why it should trouble us that there has never been a truly Australian museum. Each of our state and federal museums has been built on Aboriginal collections, and each has been built on distinctly Western or European concepts, values, categories and practices. Some of these are unavoidable, but are they all? Are we too far down the path to restump the foundations of our institutions and the narratives they perpetuate in public life?
The South Australian Museum holds one of the most important collections of Aboriginal material culture in the world. It is therefore, given the story it can tell about ancient and enduring cultures, one of the most important collections of human heritage on our planet. What we do with such collections, and what we don't, defines us. This is the great challenge of contemporary custodianship. These collections are calling us out.
In this lecture I examine the South Australian Museum's response to this challenge. Over the past two years our Museum has undertaken a comprehensive rethink of our policies and practices and the politics of both. We are also transforming the way we work with Aboriginal communities and custodians. This is not simply a question of how collections are displayed or exhibitions are developed. We are rethinking the terms of our custodianship, and the kind of truly Australian Museum that could evolve around those new foundations.

kanalaritja: An Unbroken String
Thu, Oct 19, 2017 9:00 AM 09:00 Wed, Feb 28, 2018 5:00 PM 17:00
Thu 19 Oct 2017 – Wed 28 Feb 2018
The Museum of the Great Southern is proud to present a national touring exhibition from the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) focused on shell-stringing, one of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community's most culturally significant and closely-guarded traditions.
kanalaritja: An Unbroken String features a variety of beautiful, delicate and rare shell necklaces, created by Tasmanian Aboriginal Ancestors in the 1800s, and acclaimed makers of today, as well as a new wave of stringers who had the opportunity to learn the tradition through the luna tunapri (women's knowledge) cultural revitalisation project.
kanalaritja: An Unbroken String is a culmination of the journey of cultural renewal, while also celebrating the generations of makers who have sustained this uniquely Tasmanian Aboriginal cultural practice.
The exhibition is accompanied by a dedicated publication featuring a range of essays and photographs, aiming to build awareness and provide a definitive account of the unique cultural practice of shell stringing.
A Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) touring exhibition.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government's Visions of Australia program.

Beyond Archive, Beyond Hope, Beyond Democracy?
Public Lecture with Verne Harris
Tim Winton Lecture Theatre, Building 213:101, Curtin University, Bentley
Time: 3:45pm for a 4:00pm start
RSVP: MCCAAdmin@curtin.edu.au by Wednesday 13 September
The Centre for Human Rights Education and the Department of Information Studies at Curtin University would like to invite you to a public lecture by award-winning South African archivist and scholar, Verne Harris. This lecture will explore the role of archive and memory work in struggles for social justice within a frame set up by these questions:
What does Nelson Mandela's legacy mean in South Africa today?
Is democracy an oppressive apparatus?
Does whiteness still exercise hegemony globally?
Is there hope for the human project?

He is an honorary research fellow with the University of Cape Town, participated in a range of structures which transformed South Africa's apartheid archival landscape, including the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and is a former Deputy Director of the National Archives. Widely published, he is probably best-known for leading the editorial team on the best-seller Nelson Mandela: Conversations with Myself. He is the recipient of an honorary doctorate from the University of Cordoba in Argentina (2014), archival publication awards from Australia, Canada and South Africa, and both his novels were short-listed for South Africa's M-Net Book Prize. He has served on the Boards of Archival Science, the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation, the Freedom of Expression Institute, and the South African History Archive.
The 2017 History Council Lecture by Emeritus Professor Ann Curthoys & Dr Shino Konishi.
Alexander Library (map)
This lecture explores Australia's politics of race leading up to the 1967 Referendum. The referendum aimed to change the Australian constitution in order to grant the Commonwealth the power for the first time to make laws specifically concerning Indigenous people and to include them in the census. It was passed by 90.77% of voters. In exploring the historical context for the Referendum, I look first at the political upheavals concerning race in the 1960s, with special attention to the Freedom Ride of 1965, in which I was involved. I trace the broader international influences on Australian racial politics. I also look further back in time to explore why it was that constitution-making in Australia, whether for self-governing colonies in the British Empire or for the new nation of Australia in 1901, so consistently involved visions of self-determination from which Indigenous people were excluded. Finally, I ask, what is the legacy of these histories for Australia today?
Ann Curthoys is an honorary professor at UWA and Emeritus Professor at ANU. She has written widely on aspects of Australian history, and on questions of historical theory and writing. Her books include Freedom Ride: A Freedom rider Remembers (2002); Is History Fiction? (with John Docker, 2005); How to Write History that People Want to Read (with Ann McGrath, 2009). She has edited many collections of essays. Her latest book, written jointly with Jessie Mitchell, Taking Liberty: Indigenous Rights and Settler Self-Government, is currently in press with Cambridge University Press.
After the Referendum… the emotional things changed by Shino Konishi.
Indigenous memories' Since the late 1990s a number of historians have argued against the 'myth' that the 1967 Referendum granted Aboriginal people the right to vote, pointing out that the Referendum only concerned enabling the Commonwealth Government to legislate for Aboriginal people, and including Indigenous people in the census. Yet, as Frances Peters-Little observes, the Referendum meant so much more for Aboriginal people, and is remembered as the time we became citizens in our own country. In this presentation, I will build on her work, exploring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's memories of the 1967 Referendum, and in particular, the way emotions imbue these memories.
Shino Konishi is a descendant of the Yawuru people of Broome. She is a historian based at UWA, and is a chief investigator in the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions. Her books include The Aboriginal Male in the Enlightenment World (2012) and the co-edited collections Indigenous Intermediaries: New Perspectives on the Exploration Archives (2015) and Brokers and Boundaries: Colonial Exploration in Indigenous Territory (2016). She is now beginning a new ARC project on Indigenous biography

History Post-Brexit: thinking through Britain, Europe and Empire
The University of Western Australia (map)
A public lecture by Tony Ballantyne, Co-Director of the Centre for Research on Colonial Culture, University of Otago.
The links between British empire building and its shifting relationships with Europe have frequently been overlooked by historians, in part because they have been seen as two fundamentally distinct fields of inquiry.
Using the debates around Brexit as it departure point, this talk explores some of the key connections between the project of empire building and Britain's engagements with Europe, tracing some key points of convergence from the 1760s on. But it will also explore the shifting terrain of recent historiography, tracing the ways in which Europe and empire have figured within British historical writing since the 1970s and how those relationships have also figured in important work from the former settler colonies.
Tony Ballantyne is a Professor of History and Pro-Vice Chancellor Humanities at the University of Otago, where he is also a Co-Director of the Centre for Research on Colonial Culture. He has published widely on the cultural history of the British Empire and his most recent sole-authored book is the award-winning Entanglements of Empire: Missionaries, Maori and the Question of the Body (Duke University Press, 2015).

GREGORY PRYOR – LOOKING GLASS
Sat, Sep 2, 2017 9:00 AM 09:00 Mon, Jan 15, 2018 5:00 PM 17:00
Art Gallery of Western Australia (map)
COORDINATING CURATOR JENEPHER DUNCAN
CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIAN ART
WA artist Gregory Pryor has created an immersive new work Looking Glass which draws upon his investigations into isolated landscapes of Western Australia which can be read as meditations upon the residues of country as well as explorations of the role that environmental and cultural loss plays in shaping the landscape.
For his WA Now project, Gregory Pryor undertook a field trip to the region of the tragic Esperance bush fires of 2015. By setting himself in amongst the charcoal remains of the devastated terrain and taking a series of 360-degree photographic notations, Pryor formulated the idea for his panoramic work and its overwhelming immersive quality. Similar to the bush's capacity to regenerate after fire, Looking Glass in some ways can be seen as a reassembled landscape, articulated on 1585 sheets of paper.
Pryor has worked with a team of student assistants to populate each sheet with a broad vocabulary of manual marks, first working the paper in veils of watercolour, before adding the fugitive and friable layers of charcoal. Finally, thousands of small glass beads are added into this matrix of wet and dry media, contributing a reflective element to the porous and absorbent black.
This new body of work aims to involve viewers in a profoundly moving encounter with one of the oldest exposed land masses on earth.

During the US Infrastructure Week in Washington, DC, leaders from Cisco, Dell Technologies, Total and TUV SUD AG have signed the Charter of Trust, becoming the new partners in a global cybersecurity initiative.
Main focus of the discussions was the importance of technology, workforce education and investment in securing the tomorrow's future. The leaders were advocating for the elevation of infrastructure as a critical issue impacting America's economy, society, security and future.
At a signing ceremony, Siemens President and CEO, Joe Kaeser, Michael Timmeny, SVP & Chief Government Strategy Officer of Cisco; Michael Dell, Chairman & CEO, Dell Technologies; Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman & CEO, Total, and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel Stepken, Chairman of the Board of Management of TÜV SÜD AG expressed their commitment to taking the next steps to define the organization's structure and take action upon its ten principles, including topics such as ownership of cybersecurity, supply chains, security by default, user-centricity, co-creation, workforce training, certification for critical infrastructure, transparency and response, regulatory framework and joint initiatives.
Members of the Charter of Trust are global brands, all well-known as best in-class – the largest, the most admired, the most sustainable, the best places to work, the most recognized, and now, all are being lauded as companies dedicated to using digitalization as a path for securing the future. It bases its projects on unprecedented cybersecurity principles.
"A digital transformation is taking place across industry and society, where physical and virtual worlds are integrated through new technologies like the digital twin, data analytics, 3D printing and artificial intelligence," says the Siemens President & SEO, Joe Kaeser. "Today, data is more relevant than ever, but the challenge arises as to securing this data, and the infrastructure that creates it. The Charter of Trust global cybersecurity initiative is designed to prevent harm to people, businesses, infrastructure and assets by establishing a reliable basis upon which the Fourth Industrial Revolution can be built on," Kaeser added.

We examined the mortality rates and causes of death of harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) pups in three regions of the inland waters of Washington (USA) in 1984. One hundred eight pups were collected during 239 searches of the shoreline areas near harbor seal haulout sites or through public reports. Minimum neonatal (up to 1 mo after birth) mortality rates at these regions ranged from 12% to 26% of the pups born. Neonatal mortality was highest in the Strait of Juan de Fuca; 33 of the estimated 105 (31%) pups born at the primary site died. Causes of death varied by location. In southern Puget Sound predation by coyotes (Canis latrans) was the primary cause of death, accounting for eight of 43 (19%) of the dead pups examined; starvation was the next most common cause of death. Mortality at study sites in the Strait of Juan de Fuca was related to premature parturition; 19 of 49 (39%) of the pups found dead were born prematurely. Nine species of bacteria were identified in samples taken from 42 pups; Proteus sp. and Escherichia coli were the most common.

Is this the year the UL International Crown makes a real name for itself?
By Keely Levins
Harry How
On the heels of the Ryder Cup, the LPGA hosts a team event of its own: the UL International Crown. In the third edition of the biennial event, four women from the eight top-ranked countries will play four days of team play in Incheon, South Korea—the first time the event is being held outside the United States.
Women's golf has seen success already in team competitions; the Solheim Cup draws large crowds—more than 120,000 in Des Moines in 2017 and solid TV ratings (2017 numbers in the U.S. surpassed those seen for majors). Add in the fact that it will be held in one of the global hotbeds for women's golf, and the potential for the International Crown to develop an identity of its own appears high.
"We built this event with one goal, let's build something that's never been done before," LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan said in a Golf Channel interview. "We knew when we launched it there'd be some critics along the way, but it's proven it's different and fun."
In the months leading up to competition, being played at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club, site of the 2015 Presidents Cup, anticipation of big crowds has been high. Early bird ticket offerings sold out quickly. Golf Channel reports that sales have exceeded those of any golf event the country has hosted, male or female.
"We rarely use the term sold out," said Whan. "But every time we released a new batch of tickets has sold out almost immediately. The excitement in Korea is high."
On Tuesday, rows of fans followed the Korean team—Sung Hyun Park, I.K. Kim, In Gee Chun and So Yeon Ryu—during a practice round.
RELATED: Teams set for UL International Crown. Team South Korea and Team USA ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.
During press conferences in the days before the matches start, players were already bracing for the size of the crowds.
"We're going to be playing against Korea [in the first match], so we're going to have a lot of fans out there," Chinese Taipei's Candie Kung said. Kung is playing in her third UL International Crown. "We don't know how we're going to control the crowds. I'm thinking about getting avhorn to get them out of my way."
The Ryder Cup started in 1927, the Solheim Cup in 1990, the Presidents Cup in 1994. It took time for each of these to find its way. The UL International Crown presents the added hurdle of an unfamiliar format compared to one-on-one team matches.
The eight countries are split into two pools. Over the first three days of competition, each country plays two four-ball matches against the other three in their pool. After that, the two teams with the most points from each pool go into the final day of singles matches, along with one wild-card team.
The matches for the first day of play are set as follows:
England vs. Australia
Japan vs. Thailand
United States vs. Sweden
South Korea vs. Chinese Taipei
The Americans are the defending champions, and are represented by Jessica Korda, Michelle Wie, Cristie Kerr and Lexi Thompson. Neither Korda nor Wie were part of the victorious team in 2016.
"I'm most excited to see how many people are going to actually show up," said Korda. "I heard they sold out of tickets so quickly, so I think that's going to be really, really cool to play in front of that many people. Other than that, it's a team event. I'm really, really proud and happy to be alongside these girls up here."
Though different, the format still lends itself to the rallying energy that comes from big crowds rooting on small fields who are playing in their country's colors. And this week could be the one in which the nascent event makes a true global connection.


I've started this blog in February 2015. And from the day one, one of my major issues is how to take good pictures of my miniatures.
At very beginning, I had at my disposal only old compact Canon camera. And it was disaster – there was no chance to take proper miniature photos with this piece of crap. The only good thing I could say about this junk – it was pink. Yeah, nice pink colour – my wife really liked this:).
…and the moment for starting miniature blog was kind of unfortunate. During that time I was staying in Puerto Viejo in Costa Rica (almost a month there), and believe me, while this coastal Caribbean town is absolutely stunning (sun, sea, sloths and stuff;), there is not many stuff to buy, if you want to improve your photography skills (I mean: buy better equipment).
The opportunity arrived when we moved to Mexico City, were there are generally plenty of everything – and electronic or camera stores are common. So, with little help of our close friend Javier, who is very talented photographer, I've bought Canon EOS Rebel T5i, and it was one of the best purchases that I've done.
Canon EOS Rebel T5i. Good purchase, That's what it is:).
No, really – I was so amazed with the quality of pictures – it was like – wow, is it even possible to make such sharp, detailed photos? That was my first impression.
New Canon worked miracles! Iguana from Huatulco, Mexico (March 2015).
However, when I started tor try to take photos of my miniatures, I find out that the world of macro photos is not that nice and easy like it seemed.
Beware of latest invention of Clan Skryre. Skaven Weapon Team – Ratling Gun! – Not, very satisfiying photo. Not, at all. Time for training!
I used only auto mode at first. Auto focus, ISO, aperture and shutter. For background I simply took piece of white paper. Light was tricky from the beginning – back then I did not have any clue how important it is. I was choosing the place, which in my opinion have the proper lightning and if it was too dark I was helping myself with the flash. The rest was Photoshop work.
…but, what the hell? Every bloody time I was unsatisfied. Even more – I felt little bit disappointed and angry. I just could not get how to set the proper conditions for take awesome miniature photo.
Of course I could take the tutorials and learn how to do it – but you don't have no idea how impatient I am. At the first sign of failure, I have tendencies to give up easily:) (look at me – and I'm painting miniatures. Talking about impatience;).
Besides, at that time, I was finding my photos at least decent quality. One of great advantages of my travelling lifestyle, when for the most of the time I'm in tropical area – the sunlight is really strong. So, I did not have to worry about light. So, there I was – making photos on auto mode, using flash – happy with myself and won't willing to change.
The problems began in May when I was back to Poland… It turned out that tropical sun is awesome. Strong white natural light worked perfectly for making miniatures photos, but in Europe the situation is not looking that rosy.
Poland – the country where most of the time is raining or at least sky is covered with clouds. I could have dreamt about clear blue sky with long awaited sun, but it is happened not very often… My photos looked terrible – nothing was working. Even Photoshop failed me. The light just was too weak. And I, beginner amateur photographer, was desperate to make good photos. So I was, in this way, whether I liked or not, forced to improve my skills. It was the time to buy some more stuff (neverending miniature collector struggle;).
After quick internet research and few tips from my hobbyists friends, I've decided to acquire light box, new lamp (also for painting) and tripod for my camera. They seemed to be absolutely necessities, if I want to jump on the next photo shooting level.
…and it really happened. First, I read and followed the instructions from tutorials available on Cool Mini or Not. Especially, this article I found helpful. Adjusting ISO, White Balance, Shutter and Aperture – this were my first steps. Next – manual focus. Tricky, but crucial part.
Clan Eshin Skaven Assassin. One of the first photos made made in lightbox, using tripod and proper lamp.
After series of trials and errors I managed to overcome the issue and slowly I was becoming content with my photos. All thanks to simple clues available here and there. It turned out – it was no secret exclusive lore for members of inner circle. Quality of my photos improved significantly. As well as my mood. This was something I needed a lot. Finally my miniatures looked as in real life. Hooray for me!
From June until October 2015, when I was living in Poland, I've been gaining new experience levels at photography. Still, there were many things to improve, many things to change for better, but everything worked smoothly according to plan.
Well, in October I hit the road again and one of my major concerns was how could I make a use of my new acquired skills. Destination: South-East Asia.
I use only manual setting these days. My major concern was, if I will be able to adapt this during my travel. When I was travelling across Central America, I was auto setting photographer. This time, there was no chance I fill go full auto – I was determined to figure out how to use manual to get the best effect.
Well, the thing is I got used to what I have back home in Poland, but I was forced to switch my mind-set and develop rather DIY rules of photography – depended of the temporary conditions, I needed to bend, do not complain and take what I got.
Let's take a look at my settings.
First – ISO (level of light sensitivity) – set on 100. As I hoped to get lots of sun light, ISO has to be low. This provides me high number of details on the photo.
Then, Aperture – the highest possible (F29 or even F32). Aperture allows control of too much light, but provides greater depth of field, making sure that some elements of mini are not blurry.
To increase sharpness of the photo even more I need to adjust Shutter setting – exposure time. We don't need this too low, or too high – this is matter of trials and errors – we don't want to make photo too light. The best effect is when it's little bit darker than we see it in real life. In Poland my Shutter set was around 2.2-2.4. Right now in Asia, Shutter setting is lower – my last photo – Skaven Plague Priest taken in Koh Chang, Thailand has 1.3 Shutter with F32 Aperture. The thing is, with this settings, Camera need to be well stabilised in order to take proper photo. Which leads us to next point.
Stable Camera. In Poland I used tripod and 2 seconds self timer. This is necessary, (with settings above) to get proper sharpness of the model. Without self timer and well stabilised camera, the picture will look blurry as hell – the camera is simply shaken during shutter release. So, right now, without tripod, I need to be more creative. Stable surface for camera and some small object for support the lens (cover for lens is doing fine here:) and I was ready for action:). Next – self timer. It's not allowed to touch the camera while it shoots. It's important, the camera is still 100%. Any, even slightest move, will distort photo. That's why I use 2 seconds self timer.
So, camera is set, next thing to do – focus on miniature.
Focus. Piece of cake. I gently focus lens on the object, until the model looks sharp. No great philosophy here. Just skilled eye;).
Light. Oh, this is so tricky. With no chance for 'white light' lamp, I must rely on natural source of light at the moment. Sun, in equator area is bright and strong. Even, on cloudy days, it provides me superb conditions. Well, the best light is when the sun is in highest position – around noon (in other time of the day – the was too much blue on the picture. White colour was turning blue. At noon – and not blueish effect any more…). It's really cool – no need for any lamp, when the sun is so bright! In Poland, I could only dream for sunlight like that!
Background. Actually, this is one of my difficulties while I travel. In Poland – one, cool, fancy lightbox. Big enough for any type of model I paint. Combined with my desk lamp and white background, it gave decent effects. Now – I had none of these. So, once again, I needed to arrange something from what I have in my backpack. And only few pieces of paper – that was all I got. At first, I made the background from two white cards of paper – and, well it did not work well. The white background had blueish tone, and therefore whole mini turned blue as well.
Distant Relative Jim for Wolsung. Blueish effect visible quite right.
White Balance set was not giving desired effect. While, in Poland worked for me perfectly, here, for unknown for me reasons, were turning blue. I know, it's the matter of the light, but I did not have the clue, why it's happening like that. I didn't even try to figure out the problem, I just changed the paper for light grey. It it was bull's eye. Th grey on the photo looks almost white. No sign of the blueish shade (but only with noon's sun – in the afternoon, when light is way weaker – the grey colour also turned this forsaken blue…).
Sanguinary Priest fro Blood Angels. My first model painted on this trip. Grey background.
In fact, in my next photo, I try to use darker shade of grey background (almost black). Many people advise me to use dark background, to get better, more realistic colour representation od the picture. Will see.
Photoshop. OK. Photo taken….but, well…it's not over yet. Miniature looks great – however everything looks little bit too dark. And, it should be. More work to be done in Photoshop. Adjust Curves, Levels, Contrast and Colour Balance. And add slight sharp filters. Mastering this program is the topic for whole article. It is not especially difficult. However it's the matter of practice. The trick is is to turn darker, grey picture into more sharp, good looking – exposing details and colours of the model. There are many tutorials, how to use Photoshop on miniatures photos. Here's one I like – link.
Generally, I'm satisfied with the results of my my manual settings during my next Asian trip. Photos are still sharp, and there's no significant colour distortions. I've overcome white/blue balance issues and everything is rather so-so. Hard to say if it could be better. Of course I could have brought small tripod with me, but, trust me, there's no empty space left in my backpack.
…and I will give a chance to darker background paper next time. We will see what happen.
So, next few months I'll go like this. It's nice that I can get decent photos at such amateur conditions and I can proceed with my hobby so far away from my home.
And you? Anyone had experience of making miniatures photos away from home, with limited options? Any tips? Clues? What can I change and improve? Anybody? Help?
This is my last day in Bangkok. I was pretty sure I would have finished Blood Angels Tactical and Terminators squad, but…well…still lots of details to work on, but it's getting close.
Next stop – Jakarta, where I plan to play another battle of Warhammer 40k. It tuned out, that it's Wh40k game is the easiest to arrange anywhere I go (from all games I collect/play). I don't mind. I like it:).
Nice post – good job figuring things out with the camera work. I've got the small light box and good lights. But I've been using my iPhone (6) to do nearly all the shots on my blog this year.
I use the "manual" app when I remember to do so – great controls and editing within the app.
I also typically post from the WordPress app – so having the photos in my phone is just a bonus.
Keep up the blog – always a good read.

Summer Fun at the Fair
Author Anonymous
Mark your calendars because one of New York state's most exciting fairs is coming to town. Beginning on Friday, August 3, Malone will host the 168th annual Franklin County Fair, a regional celebration of farming and all things fun. This will be a ten day affair jam packed with competitions, live performances, farm animals, delicious and farm fresh food, rides, a tractor pull, lawnmower drag races, and two separate days of demolition derby (just in case you miss the first, or want more). No matter your taste, there is something to appeal to the whole family at this fair, which is a favorite among locals and visitors alike. After all, this is the New York state county fair.
You can expect a lot of fun and all-you-can-eat fair food, but Dave St. Mary -- the fair's director -- put the event nicely in perspective. When I spoke to him about this year's fair, he reminded me that it's about summertime fun with the family, but it's also about celebrating agriculture, especially this region's rich history of dairy farming. So have fun, let loose, and support your local farmers!
Old favorites
Poultry competitions aren't just for chickens. Well, they are, but who doesn't want to witness a diverse lineup of about 800 chickens of all varieties (and colors) compete for the top poultry prize? There will also be cattle shows, harness racing, and horse shows just to name a few of the other competitions. You can't have a fair without farm animals!
Other mainstays and local favorites include the Painted Pony Rodeo, the tractor pull, and demolition derby, which will be rowdy fun for all ages. On Thursday, the Miss Franklin County Fair pageant and talent show might be less rowdy, but no less fun.
Lawnmower drag races will be a new addition to this year's lineup of competitions. Mowing the lawn will never be the same after you experience this race.
Agriculture Day will be Tuesday, August 7, which means free admission for members of the Farm Bureau. On this day there will be a lineup of old and new farm machinery that will parade from the Grandstand to the Barn before the evening concerts begin.
Franklin County Fair is known to attract some big acts. This year it welcomes REO Speedwagon, the iconic band that's been rocking since 1967. Sing along to the old hits and expect some new ones too. Other acts include The Garth Guy and Shades of Shania -- yes, it's a clever cover band -- that will play your favorites. And, Devin Dawson will deliver "high-country voltage" with a crooner's soul.
Aside from music, you can expect some rowdy fun with a demolition derby and a tractor pull race. These are always close and fierce competitions among the heavyweights of vehicles. The demolition derby is a raucous competition among cars vying (by crashing into each other) to be the last one standing, or in this case running. Do I need to say more?
There's plenty of fun for the kids including rides, games with prizes, 4-H competitions, cotton candy, and lots of farm animals. You can also expect the fair's annual Painted Pony Rodeo to be a blast. Don't forget about the Miss Franklin County Fair Pageant followed by the Hometown Parade and talent show.
It's hard to beat a day of food at the fair. This fair is a little different because not only do you get to nosh on typical delights, like funnel cakes, but there are also unique treats because Malone sits right at the border with Canada, so expect some interesting combinations that celebrate a mash up of both culture's culinary traditions. Brooke, ROOST's Content Manager, highly recommends the Buffalo Chicken Poutine.
In celebration of the region's dairy farms, there will be plenty of farmers selling their delicious dairy products, including cheese and ice cream! And look for the Dairy Princess stand that will feature different dairy products throughout the week. There will also be other local New York foods available, like fresh maple products.
Drink lots of water to stay hydrated. It can get hot in the sunshine.
Senior Day will be Thursday, August 9. There will be tents set up and plenty of places to sit. Accommodations for people with disabilities will also be provided August 9.
Children under 12 get in free.
Wear sunscreen.
Wear comfortable shoes because there's plenty to do all day long.
Expect lots of vendors!
Try the buffalo poutine and don't miss the demo derby!
The Franklin County Fair is a family affair filled with lively fun for all ages. It's a unique celebration of farming and all the best parts of New York's North Country. You can't have summer without a day at the fair!

Fear No More is a 1961 American thriller film directed by Bernard Wiesen and starring Mala Powers, Jacques Bergerac and Anna Lee Carroll. It was based on a 1946 novel of the same name by Leslie Edgley.

Plot
Personal secretary Sharon Carlin (Mala Powers) arrives at a railway station on a mission to deliver an important envelope for her boss. When she enters her compartment, a man threatens her with a gun. She sees a woman in the compartment who appears dead. The man knocks Sharon unconscious. When she comes to, she finds herself interrogated by a plainclothes policeman who accuses her of murdering the woman. When they leave the train for the police station, Sharon manages to dodge the detective and, panicked, runs in front of a car which has to swerve to avoid her, injuring a young boy who is a passenger. Sharon begs the driver, Paul Colbert (Jacques Bergerac), a divorced man who is the boy's father and is returning the boy to his mother, to help her. He reluctantly agrees. After a disagreeable scene at the wife's house, Paul drops Sharon back at her home. She has forgotten that her male friend is staying in her flat. Later he phones her and they have a coffee together at a local beat café. When she returns home, she finds her friend dead. Chased by the murderer, she dashes out of the apartment block and Paul drives her away. She eventually discloses to him that she can't go to the police as they won't believe her: she has a mental health history and was once in a sanitorium. The following day, Paul drives her to her employer's house where, inexplicably, his employer and his staff disavow any knowledge of her errand. More worryingly, her employer, Milo Seymour (John Harding) claims a large sum of money has disappeared from his safe, to which only he and she have the combination. Is Sharon the victim of an elaborate plot, or is she veering into madness?

18.11.2004 General News
Private security banned from using unapproved equipment
Accra, Nov. 18, GNA - The Ministry of The Interior on Thursday warned private security organisations not to use weapons and unauthorised equipment and said errant organisations would be sanctioned.
A statement signed by Mr Hackman Owusu-Agyeman, Minister of The Interior, said the Ministry had noted that some private security organisations had been using strobe lights and sirens on their vehicles. They have also been using weapons without the approval of the Inspector-General of Police.
The statement said these actions contravened the law which states: "The Inspector-General of Police shall not approve for use under this regulation if in the Inspector-General's opinion that article has a resemblance to a similar article used by the Ghana Police Service, Prisons Service and the Armed Forces of Ghana."
The Ministry said the IGP believes that the use of these equipments contravened the law "and all companies are therefore required with immediate effect to remove the strobe lights from their vehicles...and desist from the use of sirens".
It said the use of weapons by any company is also not authorised. "All private security organisations are to note that the use of any equipment that remotely mimics those of the security agencies would need the approval of the Inspector-General of Police.
"Failure to comply with the above will lead to serious sanctions being applied against the company concerned, including the revocation of licences."

MIT exhibits let the body hum in a vocal meditation
By Cate McQuaid Globe Correspondent,November 6, 2014, 6:00 p.m.
Composer-inventor Tod Machover has an accompanying work in the exhibit.Suzanne Kreiter/Globe Staff

Hum, and sound buzzes through your lips. Sing, and it vibrates through your head and body.
Sing at "Vocal Vibrations," the musical installation and inaugural exhibit at Le Laboratoire Cambridge, a new art and design center, and those vibrations will thrum through a round device you hold in your hands, called an oRb. More than that, as you vary your tone, your pitch, and your timbre, those vibrations will alter, skitter, and slide up and down the oRb, just as they do in your own body.
"Vocal Vibrations" showcases works by composer and inventor Tod Machover and designer and architect Neri Oxman, professors at the MIT Media Lab. In this musical installation, you can sit in an area called the Chapel, and listen to a vocal composition by Machover piped through 10 speakers. It sounds like contemporary sacred music, layered and haunting. Guides in the installation will encourage you to put headphones on and sing — nothing fancy, just a note, and quietly to yourself, if you like.
From there, you proceed through a spiraling hallway veiled in white translucent fabric to the Cocoon. It's a more private area, where only one person, relaxed in a recliner and equipped with headphones and a microphone, can sing along with a second, similar Machover piece, and "listen" to your voice pulsing through the oRb.
"We're used to going into spaces where you're blasted by music," says Machover. "I was interested in a space where the music and the environment is very soft. To allow the general public to be directly involved in making music."
Machover was curious about the health implications of people controlling vibrations in their own bodies. He consulted with the Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi, a Buddhist monk and founder and director of the Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at MIT.
"I realized this had to do with inventing a new kind of meditation," says Machover. He asked Priyadarshi whether traditional chanting meditations had been studied scientifically. According to Priyadarshi, Machover says, the scientific evidence is slight.
Singing's potential to have healing effects, however, is within the realm of possibility. Rebecca Kleinberger, one of Machover's research assistants, recently completed a master's thesis at MIT on using the voice as a tool for self-reflection. In it, she writes that vibration therapies in the human vocal range have effects on chronic pain, tooth pain, circulation, and more.
David Edwards, founder of Le Laboratoire Cambridge (and the original Le Lab in Paris in 2007), sees "Vocal Vibrations" as an experiment. "Vibrations have a lot of impact on cellular life, on cellular disease, on cartilage," he says. "So presumably, while health influences voice, voice probably influences health."
The music, in recordings by the Blue Heron choir and soprano Sara Heaton, blends elements of early Renaissance music and Tuvan throat singing. Always, there's a D note to anchor a listener, and that D — a pitch easily accessible to just about any voice — is where Machover invites singers to enter.
"If it's low in your range, the lower you go, the more your body vibrates," he says.
Less an art installation than a means of self-reflection through sound, "Vocal Vibrations" aims to help visitors heighten perceptions of vibration in their bodies.
But then there's Oxman's Gemini chaise, which sits on a plinth in the Chapel. It's a sight to behold.
The shell, which scoops above the head of its occupant, is crafted from milled wood. The upholstery — if it's fair to call it that — is made with a 3-D printer, using 44 materials in a variety of combinations of softness, opacity, and color. It looks almost reptilian, like a skin of glowing nodules of different sizes, sweeping from orange to yellow.
Edwards says the MIT team originally set out to make a chair that would resound with your voice, as the oRb does. But hands are more sensitive to delicate quivers and shimmies than other parts of the body. So Oxman went in the opposite direction, working with materials that absorb sound.
"It's a womblike environment that would hold your body and your voice, and quiet the thinking mind," says Oxman.
Unfortunately, sitting in the chaise is forbidden. It's one of a kind, and art collectors are showing interest. "Ideally, we'll find a manufacturer willing to invest to make many copies of the chaise for the public," says Oxman.
For the moment, it sits on its platform, looking like an altar at which visitors might worship from their perches on the floor.
Ideally, "Vocal Vibrations" would have the Gemini chaise set up in the Cocoon, so visitors could recline in it as they listen, sing along with the voices in their headphones, and play with their own internal reverberations. Activities in the Cocoon are visible from the Chapel; the chaise would heighten a singer's sense of privacy.
On the other hand, Machover's compositions can be downloaded for a small fee, and the oRb can be ordered at Le Lab's Café ArtScience for $300. If you're the shy type.

Drake is everywhere. He's taped inside circles of red and pink hearts on middle school girls' binders. He's booming from transistor radios at a juvenile detention center. His voice glides above waves of bass as college players warm up for NCAA soccer matches. Then there's Loyola University Chicago's run to the Final Four: was it "God's Plan"?
And now, thanks to "God's Plan," wherever Drake is, God is there, too.
It's kind of a big deal that the Canadian Jewish superstar's new number one single unleashed a message of trust in God's Providence to the world (at least 430,263,979 times on YouTube alone). It's kind of a big deal that he donated his music video's million-dollar budget to Miami U scholarships, after school programs, and poor families. It's kind of a big deal that he sends a shout-out to working mothers heard echoing in city streets around the globe.
Let's take a look at three important Judeo-Christian messages the song and video communicate.
It's true. Take the example of one man in the music video who preaches, "Thank God for what's happening right now. It might not be good, but thank God." This sort of faith comes from experiences of hardship. It arises out of close encounters with death and suffering. Someone who has made it through by the skin of their teeth and can't help thinking, like Drake, that "Someone watchin' this s*** close, yep, close." God's got it under control. It's God's plan.
I'll offer Drake the Ignatian presupposition and assume that he has good motives until it's expressly proven otherwise.
Drake seems to get it. He has a special tenderness towards his mother. Other relationships may come and go, but the bond between Drake and his mother remains. Different from many guys today, Drake isn't ashamed to proclaim this love for his mother. That's really cool.
Drake preached in "God's Plan." Let's take his words to heart. Trust in God. Be generous. Call your mother.

Any solution?
or is it possible to use inheritance on client side?

A: you are using path somewhere in your code, like this
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

So you should add the path module like this :
var express = require('express')
  , path = require('path');

Should Pastors Stop Saying, 'the Bible Says'?
Andy Stanley challenges one of Billy Graham's favorite phrases. Experts weigh in.
Kevin P. Emmert| July 14, 2014
Image: Willow Creek D/CH / Flickr
It's time to stop saying, "the Bible says." At least that's what Andy Stanley says.
At Exponential, a church-planting conference attended by 5,000 in late spring (with another 20,000 watching via video), the senior pastor of North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, Georgia, said pastors should instead use phrases like "Paul says" and "Jesus says" when citing Scripture.
Stanley (who also made the case in his 2012 book Deep & Wide) told CT the main reason for his injunction is "to keep people who are skeptical of the Bible's authority engaged in the sermon." It's a question of evangelism, not theology, he says. "The goal is to lead [people] to the place where they acknowledge Jesus to be who he claimed to be. They don't have to believe Noah built an ark and put animals on it to get there. … To get a person to the point where they believe the Bible is authoritative, they first have to believe that Jesus is the Son of God. The reason Christians take the Old Testament seriously is because Jesus did."
But Stanley adds that the approach has "helped Christians in our congregation have a greater appreciation for the historicity of the New Testament, that these were actual people who said these things." (An edited transcript of our interview with Stanley appears today on our website.)
It's hard to know how many preachers today use "the Bible says" rather than more specific citations. But Paul Gutjahr, professor of American and religious studies at Indiana University–Bloomington, said the phrase "gained its popularity in the early 20th century with revivalists like Billy Sunday and later Billy Graham."

This volume presents advances that have been made over recent decades in areas of research featuring Hardy's inequality and related topics. The inequality and its extensions and refinements are not only of intrinsic interest but are indispensable tools in many areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. Hardy inequalities on domains have a substantial role and this necessitates a detailed investigation of significant geometric properties of a domain and its boundary. Other topics covered in this volume are Hardy- Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities; inequalities of Hardy-type involving magnetic fields; Hardy, Sobolev and Cwikel-Lieb-Rosenbljum inequalities for Pauli operators; the Rellich inequality. The Analysis and Geometry of Hardy's Inequality provides an up-to-date account of research in areas of contemporary interest and would be suitable for a graduate course in mathematics or physics. A good basic knowledge of real and complex analysis is a prerequisite.

Alexander Balinsky is Professor of Mathematical Physics in the School of Mathematics at Cardiff University. His wide interests include spectral problems for the differential operators of mathematical physics, and currently, the mathematics of image processing, machine learning and data mining.
W. Desmond Evans is now Emeritus Professor in the School of Mathematics at Cardiff University, after spending his working life in Cardiff. He has made contributions to a number of areas of mathematical analysis and mathematical physics, in particular, the spectral analysis of Schrödinger and Dirac operators, non-linear differential operators, functional analysis and operator theory.
Roger T. Lewis is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Mathematics at The University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he has been a faculty member since 1975. His research interest has been mainly in the spectral analysis of the differential operators of mathematical physics, with special attention given to eigenvalue problems of Schrödinger operators and N-body problems of quantum mechanics.
quot;This book is the epitome of classical analysis and has been a staple of those who have wished to learn that art since Cambridge University Press published it in 1934. ... The terseness of the development throughout make this book more suitable for graduate students. All in all, the book under review is a lovely compendium of the utility and power of Hardy's Inequality." (Jeff Ibbotson, MAA Reviews, maa.org, January, 2016)

Head of National Office, Patrick Areghan, also said the opening of registration for the 2021 WASSCE for school candidates.
According to Patrick, the newly-released result is an improvement in performance in the examination in the last two years. He said:
Twenty Four Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety One (24,491) candidates representing 39.82% obtained credit and above in a minimum of five (5) subjects including English Language and Mathematics.
Out of this number, 12,040 i. e. 49.16 per cent were male candidates, while 12,451 i.e. 50.84 per cent were female candidates.
The percentage of candidates in this category in the WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2018 and 2019, that is, those who obtained credit and above in a minimum of five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, were 35.99 per cent and 35.10 per cent respectively. Thus, there is a marginal increase of 4.72 per cent in performance in this regard.
He revealed that out of 61,509 candidates who took the examination, 5,548 (9.02 per cent) have their results being withheld because of alleged involvement in examination malpractice.

Homabay teacher committed suicide after his wife left to study in a college within Homa Bay.
sports Man Utd boss Rangnick says Martial issue 'resolved' after talks
Employees of Agape Academy in Suba South Sub-County, were left dumbfounded after receiving news that their employer, Samuel Omuga aged, committed suicide after his wife left for school.
In a note he left for his mom, Omuga revealed that he could not bear up with all the challenges that come with taking care of the child by himself.
The 44 year old man's struggles began when he took his wife to school when they did not have a babysitter
Area Assistant Chief William Kisima revealed that Mr Omuga was a teacher at Muiraria Primary School.
Omuga had earlier forwarded complains to his mom, he mentioned that he could not manage to take care of the baby at the same time focus on his duties in school.
"He asked his mother to look for a nanny for him. They disagreed over the idea, which angered him," said the Chief Kisima
Homa Bay County Police Commander Marius Tum stated that Mr Omuga committed suicide in his house.
"It is unfortunate that the man had to leave behind such a young family. We are investigating why he had to kill himself," Tum said.
The deceased has left behind a widow and two children.

Why should you choose Dr. Vereanu Clinic?
Who am I, Dr. Anca Vereanu?
I created the Dr. Vereanu Clinic in 2010, following 15 years' experience in the public health system at the Military Central Hospital in Bucharest and 7 years in my own private practice.
Those were the years during which I learned very much in both my medical specialty, when it comes to relating to customers, and also in administrative issues, so necessary when running a clinic. This experience helped me today in shaping a very good medical team, professionals of which I am very proud.
Together we are a team that covers all dentistry specialties and we do it as correct, professional and committed as we would expect to receive.
I have understood that medicine is not a business and we need to be truly dedicated to each patient, offering the proper treatment solutions, which may not always be the most financial efficient, but which will surely bring appreciation from our patients.
I am a doctor working 12 hours days in the clinic and I also cover the management issues and this helps me control very well the medical side of things, integrating patients who most times need interdisciplinary treatments.
I truly believe that for a clinic to become medically prestigious it needs to be controlled by a specialist who helps patients, coordinates their treatment plan and time of work and guides them to the right specialists.
Through everything we do, we try to be the best doctors on the market, with great respect for both patients and our profession.
Before starting any treatment you will receive all necessary information regarding costs and payment options. We can offer installment payment in collaboration with the banks we work with.
Quality treatments require time, as rush is no friend for quality. At the Dr. Vereanu Clinic we do not talk about "number of patients treated during a day", but about "the way these patients are treated". We offer you respect through the time we invest in your treatment and through the professional medical team assisting you during the process.
We have understood that medicine is not a business and we need to be truly dedicated to each patient, offering the proper treatment solutions which will surely bring appreciation from our patients.


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross insisted on Thursday that the plan by the Republican Trump administration to revive a citizenship question on the 2020 census was aimed at bolstering the Voting Rights Act, prompting ridicule from Democrats.
Ross testified to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that gathering accurate data on U.S. citizens outweighed any potential reduction in response rates.
"Obtaining complete and accurate information for use in determining citizen age voting populations to enforce the Voting Rights Act is a legitimate government purpose," he said in written comments submitted beforehand.
"I determined that the importance of that goal outweighed any potential decrease in self-response rates that may result from people violating their legal duty to respond to the decennial census," he said.
Time is of the essence, as the official census forms are due to be printed in the coming months.
The official population count established in the census is used in the allocation of seats in the House of Representatives and the distribution of billions of dollars in federal funds. There has not been a question about citizenship status on the short-form census questionnaire since 1950.
Ross testified that when he got into office in 2017, he began a "deep dive" into all aspects of the survey, including the resources needed to achieve an accurate accounting of the population. Non-citizens comprise an estimated 7 percent of people living in the United States.
He said the request to add the citizenship question came from the Justice Department and denied it was for political purposes.
Republicans, who lost the House to the Democrats in last year's elections, attempted to shut down the hearing with a motion to adjourn but were voted down.

A taxi rank is being 'misused' by London taxi drivers outside the Banstead Waitrose, claims an irate resident.
The claim was made as a public question demanding better enforcement on the two cab taxi rank to deter London cabbies from doing their shopping there.
Local resident Iain Gordon submitted the question to Surrey County Council and Reigate and Banstead Local Committee adding that local borough taxis rarely used the rank and that the space should change to accommodate disabled users in a bid to regain control. Mr Gordon's question said: "The 'rank' is regularly misused by London taxi drivers for parking, whilst doing their own private shopping.
Local taxi associations have stated they wish the space to remain a taxi rank, whilst Reigate and Banstead councillors have admitted the rank could be better enforced.

Chilean Public Art Steps Up in Time of Revolution
Submitted by russell on Tue, 03/24/2020 - 10:09
The Writings on the City's Walls: Street Art and Graffiti in Santiago, Chile in a Time of Social Revolution
Reporting: Street Art NYC (LINK)
The following post is by Houda Lazrak:
While visiting Santiago, Chile in late December, I sat down with Santiago-based architect and street art/graffiti expert Sebastián Cuevas Vergara. We met a few blocks from one of Santiago's main urban landmarks, Plaza Baquedano, now known as Plaza de la Dignidad or Dignity Square — the main site of Chile's protests against social inequality that erupted last October following a hike in subway fares.
Every Friday afternoon, thousands gather in Plaza de la Dignidad to express their frustration with the high cost of living, rising rents, government corruption and an unsustainable social welfare system. The walls in the vicinity are plastered with protest posters, tags, graffiti, wheatpastes and other varied urban interventions.
Sebastián shared some of his thoughts and observations about the current state of public space in Santiago:
So much has changed here since I last visited Chile in 2013. What are you up to at the moment?
I am currently teaching a street art class at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Chile. This a particularly pertinent moment to be talking about people's relation to public space in view of all the street art that has surfaced since the social crisis started.
Yes, it does seem extremely relevant.
I have a thesis: Santiago is the city with the most diverse graffiti in the world at the moment. There is poetic graffiti, urban graffiti, feminist graffiti, political graffiti…
And so many posters too!
The languages of the streets are changing. When the protests started, designers started making posters: a simple, straightforward, immediate response. Posters and graphics have been part of Chilean identity since the 1970s, so this was quickly picked up again.
Is this happening mainly in the city center?
It is concentrated in the center of the city. This is where it has the most significance, near 'zona cero' where the protests surface every Friday.
How have the graffiti and street art changed in Santiago since the social revolution erupted?
There are several changes. First, many artists are no longer signing their works. The personal nature of graffiti is not of essence now. Artists are, instead, giving their art to the movement. This is particularly interesting, because the graffiti scene in Santiago is very competitive. Second, works are much larger in scale because artists are collaborating. Third, performance art is integrated into the protests and with the graffiti and street art. Finally, feminist street art is now at the forefront. The work of groups like the Chilean feminist collective LASTESIS has gone viral.
How might what is happening now affect the future of public space in Chile?
The significance of the writing on the walls is now taken more seriously. The city is now asking," Do we erase the graffiti or maintain it?"
People in Chile didn't really understand that public space belongs to them — rather than to the police and to the politicians. Now it has been returned, and they are occupying it. There were more than one million people protesting. One way to occupy this space is through graffiti. On the first two days of the revolution, everyone was doing graffiti everywhere. And many building owners were saying, "We want to maintain the graffiti to show our support to this social movement." Owners now have the choice of whether to keep the graffiti or not. In the past, the municipality would have automatically erased it. It's a huge change.
Since the military dictatorship that emerged in the 1970's, public space has been restricted and surveilled. This is now changing. All these expressions are now happening in Chilean public spaces, even if the police tries to stop them.
Has what is happening here impacted the mainstream art establishment?
There is less trust in art institutions, because change is happening outdoors. The art that people want to see is now happening outside of museums.
Are there some works that have surfaced on the streets that are particularly prevalent?
Matapaco, the dog who became a symbol of Chilean revolutions. He was a stray dog that marched with protestors and defended them against police forces. Lots of images of him are appearing in the street. People in Santiago are also putting bandanas on their dogs in solidarity. There is also Museo de la Dignidad, a group that is installing golden frames around what they think are there best street art works made in direct response to the social situation.
Did you participate in the protests?
I created an intervention, LibreCircular, in Plaza Italia, where the main protests occurred. I collaborated with artists to paint a large circle on the ground that represents the right to circulate in the city.
To me, the most important value of public place is free circulation and people's right to it. The Chilean government took this away from us when they imposed a curfew in Santiago last October. This intervention was a response to it.
How did people react to this particular intervention?
People's interaction with the piece was super interesting. Some sat down to take photographs right in its center; cyclists held a night protest where they rode on the circumference of the circle over and over again; and protestors also started a fire in it.
What are some of your thoughts on the current state of affairs?
Well, there are a lot of social issues in Chile. There is no affordable healthcare or education, and things blew up.
This moment is political, but also cultural. People are trying to appropriate cultural powers. With new generations and new ideas, Chile has woken up. And artists are now playing a political role.
Sources like television and newspapers are no longer trusted, because they represent the state's agenda. The agenda of the streets, the public's agenda, is written on the city's walls, and on Instagram. Hopefully, a new constitution will be written in the next months. I believe that the ideas that appear in the graffiti of Chile's streets should be considered in the writing of the constitution. Values are created in the streets, and graffiti is a participatory process that reflects these values. One of the most important values that came out of these protests is dignity.
Have you any ideas on what the impact of this social revolution may be?
It is hard to tell what the dimension will be, or if real change will happen. But it is definitely the start of a historical process.
Thanks for speaking with us, Sebastian. We'll be following Chilean news in the next months from New York!

She's had five #1 singles, sold millions of records, won the Academy of Country Music's Top Female Vocalist Award and claimed a Country Music Association trophy for her signature song, "Born To Fly." It's tough to imagine many accomplishments Sara Evans hasn't already checked off her bucket list.
And yet, with the release of her eighth studio album, Words demonstrates that she's still willing to leap into the unknown, taking greater control of her career and calling the shots in a way that's unusual in country music – particularly unusual for a woman in the genre.
