O objetivo da iniciativa é o desenvolvimento social e econômico dos empreendimentos e a proteção ambiental de seu entorno.
The program, Brothers & Sisters: The Rise of Southern Rock, will begin at 1:30 p.m. in the museum's Ford Theater. Hosted by Family Tradition co-curator Michael McCall, the panel will include five figures central to the genre's success: Bonnie Bramlett of duo Delaney & Bonnie; legendary artist Charlie Daniels; Mike Hyland of Capricorn Records; and Lynyrd Skynyrd's Ed King. The group will discuss how they and others fused blues, country, rock and soul into a distinctly southern sound-a sound that influenced Hank Williams Jr. and many other country artists since the 1980s-and in the process created music that helped heal racial divides while resurrecting pride in their southern heritage. This program is included with museum admission and is free for museum members. The program will also be streamed live at www.countrymusichalloffame.org.

Global Citizenship Program (GCP) 67 | Pathways to Global Citizenship: Roots and Routes
City University of New York (CUNY), Salzburg, Austria (April 4 to 11, 2015)
__
Tomorrow's leaders must think and act as global citizens in order to address the challenges facing humanity. Broadly defined, global citizens are people who are consciously prepared to live and work in the complex interdependent society of the 21st century and contribute to improving the common global welfare of our planet and its inhabitants. The program aims to engage participating students as global citizens, helping them develop the knowledge, skills, values, and commitment to:
Understand the nature of globalization, including its positive and negative impacts around the world, and realize how it is transforming human society;
Appreciate the diversity of humanity in all of its manifestations, from local to global, and interact with different groups of people to address common concerns;
Recognize the critical global challenges that are compromising humanity's future and see how their complexity and interconnections make solutions increasingly difficult; and
Collaborate with different sets of stakeholders, by thinking globally and acting locally, to resolve these critical challenges and build a more equitable and sustainable world.
The session format includes lectures and discussions with an international faculty as well as formal and informal work in small groups. Topics addressed in plenary lectures and discussions include globalization and global responsibility; the social, economic, and political aspects of migration; the historical legacy of the Holocaust, human rights, humanitarian intervention; sustainable development; and the implications of the United States' influence around the world.
Participants will consider how these issues relate to their current situations and future personal, educational, and professional plans. They will also have the opportunity to develop projects and activities related to the session topic that can be implemented at their colleges and universities, in their local communities, and beyond.
Since we're on the subject of focus theres one thing you should know shooting infrared. Some lenses have an Infrared Index dot on the focus scale. DO NOT USE THAT unless youre using an IR filter that blocks all other light. I shot two rolls of IR all the while worrying about the focus issue and all the shots with large apetures are misfocused. This is since youve got a lot more visible light making up the picture, than you do have infrared. So my advice would be to use a red filter and focus normally. IR filters are fun but theyre only useful if youre shoots stuff thats still, like plants. And who the fuck shoots plants anyways?
USG successfully hosted the first annual Achieving Collegiate Excellence and Success (ACES) Summer Bridge Program from June 16-19, 2014. ACES seeks to support students and create a seamless pathway from high school to college completion.
