Migration: the new frontier of storytelling
english Interviews video
Anna Pujol-Mazzini
Stories about migration often have a few things in common: a woman wearing a hijab, crying. A child, lost and traumatised after crossing the Mediterranean on a boat. A picture of bright orange life jackets floating on the water. A reminder of the dark statistics of migration: the thousands who died on the way, and the millions still displaced.
This is what Yasir Khan, Senior Editor of Digital Video at Al Jazeera English, is trying to change.
"People are tired of refugee stories because sympathy is exhausting," he said during a panel focused on the innovative ways of covering what has come to be branded Europe's "migration crisis."
"Empathy, however, is empowering," he added.
The panel was hosted by freelance journalist Donata Columbro, with Marta Cosentino, a human rights journalist focused on the Middle East, Alessandra Morelli from the U.N.'s refugee agency (UNHCR) and Marina Petrillo, who focuses her reporting on migration on different platforms including Open Migration and Reported.ly.
All have experimented with new ways of telling the stories of migration, with a particular focus on individual stories aimed at fostering empathy.
Marta Cosentino's documentary Portami Via follows a Syrian family on its journey from their country's civil war to Turin, Italy, while picturing their expectations and daily struggles.
An Al Jazeera's videos which told the story of Alex Assali, a Syrian refugee who is feeding the homeless in Berlin in order to give back to the country that took him in, was viewed more than a million times, Khan told the panel.
The panel explored how the language used in stories of migration can shift the public perception, and the importance of covering responsibly one of the most significant story of our times.

Underwater video the Coast Guard released one year ago (October 2011) showed no leakage visible from the Deepwater Horizon riser pipe. Now, BP and Transocean will deploy submarine cameras to survey the wreckage again to trace oil matched to the site. Still image of video from U.S. Coast Guard media library.
BP and its rig contractor, Transocean, will deploy robotic submarine cameras to the wreckage of the ill-fated Deepwater Horizon at the floor of the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday, as they, under U.S. Coast Guard supervision, try to pinpoint the source of an oil sheen that appeared at the site last month, the government said last night.
The Coast Guard earlier this week said its own laboratory testing showed oil from the slick matched oil from BP's 2010 spill. This latest development indicates the government is not satisfied with BP's explanation that the oil likely came from a leak in the bent riser pipe that once connected the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig to the Macondo well. Officials have noted that the pipe lies on the bottom of the sea floor with both ends open.
Now, the Coast Guard says, BP and Transocean have agreed to make satellite observations and to mobilize "ROVs," or remotely operated vehicles, to examine the original Macondo well area, including the wreckage, debris, and the riser on the sea floor.
This is not the first time that authorities have investigated reports of oil near the Macondo site. At least one leak in the immediate aftermath of the spill was traced to another well. And exactly one year ago, responding to other reports of oil on the Gulf surface near Macondo, the Coast Guard released robot submarine video of both the riser and the well (see photo above) to show that no leaks from the debris were visible. But this is the first time since the capping of the BP well that new oil has been chemically fingerprinted to match the 4.9 million barrels that gushed into the Gulf in the spring and summer of 2010.
To gain some insights on what might be happening at the site of the worst oil spill in U.S. history, I emailed Robert Bea, professor emeritus in engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, a former oil industry executive who has spent years studying catastrophic engineering failure. He has closely followed the Deepwater Horizon disaster from the beginning.
This would not necessarily be cause for alarm, Bea said, noting that there are numerous natural oil seeps in the sea floor. Indeed, more than 1,300 barrels of oil a day seep naturally into the Gulf of Mexico, according to a 2002 report by the U.S. National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences.
But any seeping of fresh oil from the Macondo reservoir could greatly complicate the negotiations now underway to settle BP's liability for the 2010 disaster.
The Coast Guard's original statement, while noting the source was unknown, did say the oil "could be residual oil associated with wreckage and/or debris left on the seabed," and some of the original news coverage of these latest developments said the oil tested showed signs of drilling mud, which would bolster that conclusion.
But I called the U.S. Coast Guard Eighth District in Louisiana yesterday to check on this point. Spokesman Ryan Tippets said that the Coast Guard's lab tests did not detect presence of drilling mud in the oil sample.


This article is about the fifth King of Hawaii. For other kings of the same name, see King Kamehameha (disambiguation). For other uses, see Kamehameha (disambiguation).
Kamehameha V (December 11, 1830– December 11, 1872), born as Lot Kapuāiwa, reigned as the fifth monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi from 1863 to 1872. His motto was "Onipaʻa": immovable, firm, steadfast or determined; he worked diligently for his people and kingdom and was described as the last great traditional chief. His full Hawaiian name prior to his succession was Lota Kapuāiwa Kalanimakua Aliʻiōlani Kalanikupuapaʻīkalaninui.
Prince Lot Kapuāiwa, traveling abroad in 1850.
He was born and given the name Lot Kapuāiwa December 11, 1830. His mother was Elizabeth Kīnaʻu and father was Mataio Kekūanāoʻa. His siblings included David Kamehameha, Moses Kekūāiwa, Alexander Liholiho, and Victoria Kamāmalu. Kapu āiwa means mysterious kapu or sacred one protected by supernatural powers. He was adopted using the ancient Hawaiian tradition called hānai by Princess Nāhiʻenaʻena, but she died in 1836. He was then adopted by his grandmother Queen Kalākua Kaheiheimālie and step-grandfather High Chief Ulumāheihei Hoapili.:26 His childhood was difficult; he felt that his hānai parents treated him as a stranger in their house, and that the adoption had deprived him the love of his mother. Throughout his life he would have a deep dislike for this tradition as it could be later seen by his anger at his half-sister Ruth Keelikolani giving away her second son Keolaokalani to Bernice Pauahi Bishop.
It was planned that he would be Hoapili's heir as Governor of Maui, although this never happened. Since King Kamehameha III declared him eligible for the throne, he was educated at the Royal School like his cousins and siblings. He was betrothed to Bernice Pauahi at birth, but she chose to marry American Charles Reed Bishop instead.
After leaving school (Kamehameha Kapalama in Hawaii), he traveled abroad with his brother Alexander Liholiho. With the supervision of their guardian Dr. Judd, Lot and his brother sailed to San Francisco in September 1849. After their tour of California, they continued on to Panama, Jamaica, New York City and Washington, D.C. They toured Europe and met with various heads of state including French president Louis Napoleon, British prince consort Albert, and US president Zachary Taylor and vice president Millard Fillmore.
From 1852 to 1855 he served on the Privy Council of State, and from 1852 to 1862 in the House of Nobles. He was Minister of the Interior from 1857 to 1863, chief justice of the supreme court from 1857 to 1858, and held other offices. His more charismatic younger brother Prince Alexander Liholiho was chosen to become King Kamehameha IV in 1854. In 1862, he was officially added to the line of succession in an amendment to the 1852 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Lot and his heirs, follow by his sister Princess Victoria and her heirs, would succeed in the case his brother died without any legitimate heirs. The change was made shortly before the death of Prince Albert Kamehameha, the only son of Kamehameha IV.
He came to power on November 30, 1863, after his brother's death, but refused to uphold the previous constitution of 1852. In May 1864 he called for a constitutional convention. On July 7, 1864 he proposed a new constitution rather than amending the old one. The convention ran smoothly until the 62nd article. It limited voters to being residents who passed a literacy test and possessed property or had income qualifications. On August 20, 1864, he signed the 1864 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii and took an oath to protect it. The constitution was based on the original draft but 20 articles were deleted. When he appointed Charles de Varigny, a French national, as minister of finance in December 1863, Americans in Hawaiʻi were convinced that he had adopted an anti-American policy. In reality, his foreign policy remained the same. Later de Varigny became minister of foreign affairs from 1865–1869.
He was the first king to encourage revival of traditional practices. Under his reign, the laws against "kahunaism" were repealed. A Hawaiian Board of Medicine was established, with kahuna members, and la'au lapa'au or Hawaiian medicine was again practiced. He brought kahuna practitioners to Honolulu to document their remedies.
In 1865 a bill was brought before the legislature permitting the sale of liquor to the Native Hawaiians. Kamehameha V surprised the supporters of bill, saying "I will never sign the death warrant of my people." Alcoholism was one of the many causes of the already declining population of the native Hawaiians.
He was a wise sovereign; he had seen something of the world; he was educated & accomplished, & he tried hard to do well by his people, & succeeded. There was no trivial royal nonsense about him; He dressed plainly, poked about Honolulu, night or day, on his old horse, unattended; he was popular, greatly respected, and even beloved.
Queen Victoria sent her second son Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh on a state visit in 1869. He appealed to Kaiser Wilhelm I of Germany, who sent Henri Berger to organize the Royal Hawaiian Band, a gift of music from the king to his people.
His sister and only named Heir Apparent to the throne, Crown Princess Victoria Kamāmalu had died childless in 1866 and through the remainder of his reign, Kamehameha V did not name a successor. He died on December 11, 1872 while the preparations for his birthday celebration were underway. As Lot lay bedstricken, he answered those that came to visit him: "The Good Lord cannot take me today, today is my birthday". He offered the throne to his cousin Bernice Pauahi Bishop who refused, and died an hour later without designating an heir. He was buried in the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii at Mauna ʻAla.
The throne belongs to Lunalilo; I will not appoint him, because I consider him unworthy of the position. The constitution, in case I make no nomination, provides for the election of the next King; let it be so." With no heir at his death, the next monarch would be elected by the legislature. Kamehameha V's cousin William Charles Lunalilo, a Kamehameha by birth from his mother, demanded a general election and won. The legislature agreed and Lunalilo became the first elected King of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
He founded the Royal Order of Kamehameha I society and the Royal Order of Kamehameha I decoration on April 11, 1865 named to honor his grandfather.
The Prince Lot Hula Festival is named for him. It was held the third Saturday in July since 1977 at his former home called Moanalua Gardens.
In February 1847, a female student at the Royal School Abigail Maheha was expelled and wed in a hastily arranged marriages due to a scandalous pregnancy. Some speculate that the sixteen year-old Kamehameha V or his seventeen-year-old brother Moses Kekūāiwa was the father of Abigail's daughter Keanolani, who left living descendants. Evidence to support this claim include his financial support of Abigail's husband Keaupuni, veiled conversations the Cookes had with Abigail and Lot dated months before the pregnancy was discovered, and entries from the period which were torn out of his school journal.

CR hasn't had a great track record on car reviewing or reliability reports. Their reliability report methodology is weak and like anyone else, hands-on reviewing is tainted by personal bias. There are better places to find objective feedback.
I must agree, not a fan of CR reliability reports. That said, the stories of M3 issues are impressive.
Then again, I don't need CR to be suspect of Tesla reliability. I can't say that Tesla is less reliable than GM either. A lot depends on the model.
The way they've been pushing 3s out the door is one reason I don't trust that car (my sincere apologies to those of you who own one). The other reason is that I've seen too many bad things in pictures and video and that's across all Tesla models, though the 3 and the X have been far worse than the S. No car from any maker should have been shipped with these glaring problems. I can't unsee what I've seen.

Hendershott biography
Although Jeff Hendershott has "retired" from the ranks as a reenactor, he still likes to muse about the hobby on occasion. "I enjoyed (almost) every minute while active and had a blast," he claims. "You can leave the hobby but, for better or worse, it really never leaves you. I particularly enjoyed the friendships made, the funny times and the bizarre people who make us laugh." Hendershott, an Ohioan, holds a Masters degree in history from the University of Akron and is a teacher by profession.
To spare us from looking at a picture of him (a self-described "Tubby Mustachioed Guy"), the image above is of Hendershott's great-great-grandfather, Hiram Bell, who served in the Western Theatre from 1861 to 1865 and is buried less than a quarter-mile from Hendershott's home. Like his ancestor, Hendershott also served (while reenacting), in Company A of the 64th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment.

Donald Trump Says White House May Use Executive Privileges to Block Congressional Probe
April 24, 2019 by Vallari Gupte
Donald Trump, the President of the United States of America, during an interview with Washington Post, said that he doesn't see the essence of cooperating with oversight investigations by the Congress. He also said that his aides, whether former or current, should not be made to testify in court and the White House was considering using its executive powers to stop these appearances.
According to Trump, these Democrat-led investigations are a waste of time and resources especially because Robert Mueller's report did not reveal anything incriminating about the president. The Mueller investigation was launched after the Russian government was accused of interfering with the 2016 presidential elections in favor of Trump.
After the report was released, the Democrats latched onto its findings looking for logical excuses to continue investigating Trump and his administration. There has also being a debate among them regarding using the report to start impeachment proceedings.
Ever since the Muller investigation started, Trump has rallied against it. He repeatedly said that the oversight investigations were deeply rooted in partisanship. This time, he said that the White House is currently debating blocking the congressional testimony since it had already given Muller all the information that would ever be required to reach a verdict. The president said that he cooperated during the muller investigations and handed over all the information they requested even if he didn't like the idea. However, this time, he isn't going to allow his aides to testify again. In his words;
"I don't see any reason to continue with the probe especially in Congress that is partisan – very partisan obviously. I do not want my people to testify to any party because this is exactly what they would be doing if this is allowed to happen."
He continued; "During the muller investigation, I allowed my people to testify – you already know how I feel about those behind the Mueller investigation. I was transparent during the time. My people testified for hours. They have all the information they need."

Notts County furious over key decisions as Coventry reach play-off final
Fri 18 May 2018 18.22 EDT First published on Fri 18 May 2018 17.11 EDT

Maxime Biamou was the hero as Coventry booked their place in the League Two play-off final after a 4-1 win at Notts County that left the home side's manager, Kevin Nolan, raging over key decisions.
Biamou scored once in each half – the first goal from a spectacular overhead kick after six minutes – to confirm Coventry will face Exeter at Wembley following their 5-2 aggregate win.
Marc McNulty doubled the visitors' lead with his 28th goal of the season in the 37th minute before Jorge Grant pulled a goal back for County.
Biamou's second, after County's Jonathan Forte had a goal controversially disallowed for offside, and a late Tom Bayliss goal extended their advantage.
It was McNulty's controversial late penalty in the first leg that meant the match at the Ricoh Arena ended 1-1 and Coventry brought that momentum straight into Friday's game.
Forte was convinced he had levelled when he put the ball into the back of the net only for the assistant referee's flag to deny him.
Coventry took full advantage of the disallowed goal as Biamou found time in the area to turn and fire a low shot into the bottom corner, despite County's appeals for offside.
Nolan said: "I am gutted. I feel aggrieved because three of the decisions over the two legs have cost us. We had momentum and when Forte scores, he is onside by a yard.
"I don't know how he has put his flag up but he has and it's cost us again. It's upsetting and they've cost us a chance to get to Wembley.
"Coventry came here and played well, but we more than matched them. We had them on the ropes in the second half and if the goal stands then we are in.
"And if they had not given the penalty last week then we are still a goal up. It's just all ifs and buts, but they can't get decisions like that wrong.
"I've been crying out for professional referees and the linesman wasn't keeping up. They've dropped two clangers. They got it completely wrong."

Weerakumara, fourth NFF leader to challenge Wimal
6 December 2017 01:16 am - 15 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
A fourth prominent member of the National Freedom Front (NFF) is challenging the party leader Wimal Weerawansa.
Deputy Leader of the NFF and Parliamentarian Weerakumara Dissanayake said yesterday that he was oppose to the view held by NFF leader Wimal Weerawansa that the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) should be divided. "If we allow that to happen United National Party (UNP) leader Ranil Wickremesinghe would emerge as the executive President in 2020" he said.
Earlier the National Organizer of the NFF Piyasiri Wijenayaka, General Secretary Priyanjan Vitharana and former Parliamentarian Jayantha Wijesekara had parted ways with Weerawansa's leadership in a short period of about two months.
Although Mr. Vitharana's resignation as the General Secretary of the party was attributed to health reasons, sources said that he had serious differences with his leader..
Addressing a news conference held at his office in Anuradhapura, Dissanayake stated that he was concerned about the unity of the SLFP since if the SLFP is divided it would create chaos in the country and pave the way for Ranil Wickremesinghe to come to power.
"I am not worried of being a member of any party. What I am concerned about is to establish justice in the country. Hence, Maithri and Mahinda Rajapaksa should work hand in hand so that the SLFP would be protected, he added.
My political future as a member of the National Freedom Front (NFF) would depend on how the decisions would be taken in the party in future, MP Weerakumara Dissanayake said yesterday. (Sheain Fernandopulle and Athula Bandara)

WW's new thinking of breaking up the SLFP must be after his secret meeting with Malik of UNP. The old adage of "there are no permanent friends or enemies in love and war" should also include politics.

Summary of the NCHRP Report 350 Crash Test Results for the Connecticut Impact-Attenuation System (CIAS)
This report on the Connecticut Impact-Attenuation System (CIAS) documents the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350 compliance of a Connecticut designed and developed impact-attenuation system. Background information about the system is also included, with information on previous crash testing, as well as the performance of field installation locations. Under the NCHRP Report 350, the system was initially classified as a redirective/nongating device. However, upon failure of the first test performed, the classification was modified to redirective/gating. NCHRP Report 350 specifies seven full-scale crash tests for redirective/gating devices. Two of the seven tests were not conducted on the CIAS because they are similar to tests conducted under the NCHRP Report 230 requirements, which the CIAS passed and one test, the reverse hit performance test, was not deemed necessary due to the locations where the systems will be used. The other four tests were conducted in accordance with the guidelines of NCHRP Report 350 for the Test Level 3 devices. The CIAS passed all requirements for the test designations. In 2002, the Federal Highway Administration approved the use of the CIAS on the National Highway System at locations where opposite-direction impacts are unlikely.

La Murga è una forma di teatro di strada che coniuga musica, danza e recitazione, molto vicina alla tradizione della giocoleria, con una forte connotazione satirica e parodistica.

Questa forma d'arte si sviluppò in Uruguay agli inizi del XX secolo, collegata al carnevale. Successivamente, circa 15 anni fa, si estese in molti paesi dell'America Latina, specialmente in Argentina dove acquisì uno status locale specifico (la cosiddetta murga porteña è tipica di Buenos Aires e del suo carnevale). Oggi si distinguono soprattutto due stili: quello uruguayo (di Montevideo) e quello porteño (di Buenos Aires). Un gruppo di Murga uruguaya è composto da una ensemble di cantanti i quali, con sfarzosi e coloratissimi trucchi e abiti, cantano canzoni ironiche di satira sociale e politica, su basi di canzoni popolari, accompagnati da soli tre strumenti a percussione: il bombo (una sorta di tom da 20"), il rullante e i piatti. Lo spettacolo si svolge su un palco (tablado).

La musica e la danza
La componente musicale della murga porteña è caratterizzata da suoni intensi e ritmi incalzanti, molto vicini ad alcune musiche tradizionali latinoamericane (ad esempio la cumbia, ballo colombiano o la samba); deriva storicamente dalla commistione di culture diverse, quella degli ex schiavi neri, il candomblé afro-uruguayo e quella bandistica popolare europea. I ritmi sono realizzati con strumenti come il bombo con piattino (bombo de murga con platillos), una grancassa con un piatto di ottone collocato in cima, che il musicista colpisce con un altro piatto. Sono utilizzati altri strumenti a percussione, come surdo, rullante e repique. Gli artisti suonano e danzano a ritmo frenetico, adottando uno stile fatto di salti e calci nell'aria, che ricordano balli come la capoeira. Questo stile di danza evoca una rottura dello spazio (il danzatore sferra un calcio nell'aria mentre pianta con violenza il piede in terra), violento e giocoso allo stesso tempo. La murga, difatti, descrive con animo carnevalesco un forte spirito di protesta, di liberazione, con lo scopo di "svegliare" gli animi sopiti utilizzando, come del resto fa il teatro, lo "scandalo" del corpo. Questa danza è particolarmente spettacolare, dal momento che, in pieno spirito carnevalesco, tutti i componenti della compagnia suonano e danzano insieme, intrecciando i passi, i calci e i salti.

Gli abiti tradizionali
Gli attori sono tutti vestiti con abiti variopinti. Il costume tipico del murguero argentino è la "levita", ossia un frac confezionato con raso colorato, dei colori del proprio gruppo-murga, dei cilindri e guanti bianchi, che riprendono simbolicamente il periodo in cui, a Carnevale, i neri si prendevano gioco dei loro padroni indossando i loro vestiti alla rovescia. Non mancano mostrine, nastri e altri dettagli sgargianti come i cosiddetti "apliques" ovvero figure riprodotte con paiette.
Ogni murga ha i suoi colori, due o più, che derivano dai colori tradizionali del quartiere di appartenenza o, più spesso, vengono scelti alla fondazione del gruppo. I colori saranno poi quelli delle levite, che si possono decorare a piacimento di ogni murguero con fantasia, in modo da renderle più sgargianti e appariscenti possibile.

L'arte della protesta
Assieme ai balli e alla musica, la murga prevede anche dei brevi dialoghi fra gli attori, che mettono in scena alcune situazioni che ricordano in maniera molto diretta fatti politici e sociali. La satira è notevole, e segue specialmente la direzione dello sberleffo, della presa in giro del potente. Ciò che gli attori esprimono benissimo con la danza (violenza e gioco), è inserito in questi scambi verbali rivolti al pubblico.

Q: in magento controller file there is one get function is there "$mobile -> $model ->getphone();" where is that get phone method defined in magento custom module controller file there is one get function is there for getting a phone number "$mobile -> $model ->getphone();" where is that get phone method defined.

A: There really isn't enough detail in this question to give a good answer, but in a more generic sense, it looks like it comes from whatever class "$model" is and could either be a concrete method defined in the "$model" class (or inherited) file, or it could be a "getter" method which actually resolves to the "__call" method. If it's a "getter" method call (which means this method will not be defined concretely anywhere) than somewhere in the "$model"s _data array it should contain the key "phone" which could be being set somewhere else, or more likely is from whatever database table "$model" is using. If you don't know which table that is you can find it in the config.xml file for the module.

What do you like about working at Shape?
All the lads have fun, and enjoy what they do. We create great work together, using everybody's individual skills to produce some fine results for an array of clientele. I'm not a web developer, so it's great to work with lads who understand both design, development and how to display content. The work I create for clients can be used alone or within a website. So it's very important that the preparation, design of the site and build understands what content will be created and how it should be positioned online.
Yes. I love working up close and personal with my clients and being able to tell their story through film; it allows me to capture the moments that often go unnoticed and share them with the world.

The first festival in Tasmania to be devoted to chamber music will be held at Evandale in the state's north in October. The three-day Tasmanian Chamber Music Festival is an initiative of art gallery director Allanah Dopson and is being supported by a $20,000 grant from the State Government's tourism arm, Events Tasmania.
The festival's six concerts will take place in historic buildings in and around the township including a local winery and the magnificent colonial landmark, Clarendon. Performers will be Tinalley String Quartet, recorder player Genevieve Lacey, harpist Marshall McGuire, pianist Piers Lane, and the recently formed Hobart-based Van Diemen's Band, which is dedicated to historically informed performance.
The loss of the high profile Hobart Baroque festival under controversial circumstances three years ago has left a void in Tasmania's classical music calendar which this new, albeit smaller, annual event promises to help fill. The Island State already has MOFO (aka MONA FOMA and its winter solstice version, Dark Mofo), but this of course is aimed at contemporary music audiences.
As its director, Dopson says the Tasmanian Chamber Music Festival will be a "boutique" event that brings music-making to "intimate, beautiful surroundings" in the State's north.
Dopson has been operating Handmark Gallery in Evandale since 2009, specialising in Tasmanian art, craft and design (she also owns the Handmark outlet in Hobart). Prior to that, she pursued a career in arts management and was the Australian Chamber Orchestra state manager in South Australia.
Considering the success of many smaller type food, wine and music festivals around Australia, one would have to agree. There are now many outstanding examples: Bangalow Music Festival, Four Winds Festival and the Huntington Festival in NSW, Queensland's Australian Festival of Chamber Music, Victoria's Port Fairy Spring Music Festival, and the Coriole Music Festival and newer Ukaria 24 in South Australia.
Each has its own musical flavour, and it looks likely the Tasmanian Chamber Music Festival will too. Dopson wants the music to centre on familiar repertoire but range into unexpected places, performed by musicians who know how to communicate.
"I want music that everybody loves and I want musicians who can really connect with audiences," says Dopson.
Bookings have been strong and tickets are remaining for only three concerts.
Research for Tourism Australia cited in a Music Australia report has shown that music is the second strongest regional event attractor after food and wine. Music has the added advantage that people are prepared to travel further and stay longer than for any other event type. Combining all these elements, as Evandale is planning, offers a real recipe for regional success.
The Tasmanian Chamber Music Festival runs 27-29 October. Details can be found here. Graham Strahle writes for Music Australia and is Adelaide music critic for The Australian. Article supplied by Music Australia as part of our classical music partnership.

Lemi Shine Pro Spray Lime, Calcium and Rust Remover is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 59.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LemiShineLover from FIVE STARS I see that there are 4.8 stars for this product and that's wrong - totally a 5.0! So mad at myself for not taking a before and after photo of my shower to show the world that THIS STUFF WORKS! Seriously considering a career as a Lemi Shine ambassador I love it that much.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Keep N It Clean from This Stuff Works! I bought this because the Dishwasher Booster was so fantastic and thought maybe, just maybe this would be good too. IT IS!!! We have the hardest, nastiest water ever. I can spend hours practically having to chisel the build up off my shower walls/doors and tub. You just spray this on. Wait a minute or so then wipe away. I did use a kind of scruncy sponge, but it took very little effort on my part.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ashlely K from Amazing! I bought this about a month ago. This product works like a charm! We have lived in our home almost two years, and our kitchen sink never looked clean. After using this product there is actually a shine to the sink. It removed hard water, and calcium build up that previous cleaners didn't touch. I love that it is a more natural product and doesn't use such harsh chemicals.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LynnR from Phenomenal !!!! I have tried for years try to find something to clean the hard water soap scum off my shower doors and have been unsuccessful up until this product. I cannot believe how effortless it was to clean those doors and the entire shower from soap scum rust and hard water Stains..
