Second generation of the Voyager, a van manufactured by Chrysler between 1991 and 1995 and marketed under different brands and names depending on the market. Largely an update on the first generation that was introduced in 1983, the Voyager offered four- and six-cylinder petrol engines as well as 2,5-litre diesel engines. A totally new van appeared in 1995 which introduced dual sliding doors, increasing the van's practicality as the first two generations only offered a passenger side door.
When a relationship takes the next step and cohabitation is on the table it will mean joining households from silverware to #furniture. Thinking about doing it and even planning a housewarming party is fun until it is time to pack up one household goods to merge it with the other partner's belongings. This is when some tips for moving are extremely helpful.
The Reasons
Deciding to move in together might be an easy decision, but it should also be for the right reasons. Spending time at a partner's house and keeping a toothbrush there is not enough of a reason in the scheme of things. Just like both people saving on rent is not a good reason even if half of the time together is spent at one person's home, since the other half of the time is spent separately. #Moving in together will change the dynamic of the relationship, which means there should be a real discussion about if it is the right time to move the relationship forward.
Moving to Where?
Once the decision is discussed and it is agreed the reason to move in together is to further the relationship. The next step the next decision will need to be whose home to move into or will you both move to a new house. When moving to a new house there is the advantage of having the feeling of "our home" rather than their house or my house. It is a shared home, instead of a house that is already decorated, furniture and other #household items in place with the person moving in only merging their belongings. There is no feeling of room being made in a dresser drawer or closet, instead with a new place it is putting everything together in its place. It is a blending of two separate lives and this will mean packing up both households into Cardboard Boxes.
The Fun Part of Adult Decisions
Moving in together can be exciting and fun to consider but then the reality of being an adult must be discussed. One topic should be whose name or will both be on the lease and utilities? This includes finances and how bills would be handled. This should be done prior to packing the first Cardboard Boxes or signing a lease. Will the rent and other bills be paid fifty-fifty or will the partner with a higher income help by paying extra? Who will be paying the bills and how will groceries be split and who will do the shopping? Whose name or will both names be on the utilities? Having this discussion is essential to avoid problems later after moving everything in and finding out these things create friction or worse by affecting credit when utilities are turned off.
The next part of the discussion should include the rules, such as who will be responsible for laundry, cleaning, taking out the trash and other chores. This may seem a silly part of the conversation but it is important to be clear who will be expected to be responsible or will all the chores be shared. Does one partner get home from work earlier than the other and can make meals? Does one partner have weekends off that will clean? Adult decisions are not always fun but are practical #conversations to have when moving into one house.
Decorating
Decorating is one of those situations that one partner may have ideas of what they want while not considering what the other person wants. This is another conversation that should be had to ensure both partners are happy about the move.
The other important part of moving in together is having a private space, whether it is to read, surf on the computer or does some kind of craft or hobby. Even people living together need some apart time when at home after the newness wears off.

Can technology help prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV), particularly in low- and middle-income countries? Increasingly, cell phones, cameras, crowd-sourcing, and mobile apps are being used in innovative ways to address GBV, but questions surrounding ethics, effectiveness, and practicality remain. The Interagency Gender Working Group, U. S. Agency for International Development, Woodrow Wilson Center, CARE, and Population Reference Bureau will host a panel discussion exploring the ethics around new technologies to combat GBV; how effective they are; and what some of the more practical and actionable ways forward might be.

Michael Drummond is a veteran of Project Runway season eight whose client list includes actress Tika Sumpter, New York Fashion Week founder Fern Mallis, and supermodel and television host Heidi Klum. Largely self-taught, Drummond is a multitalented artist who works as a fashion design consultant and textile designer for SKIF International, produces his own line of clothing under his given name, and is a commercial stylist for print and film. In his work, he seeks to marry practicality and dramatic design. Drummond loves large-scale prints, delicate knits, simple comfortable shapes, deconstruction, and a dark palette. Rather than creating a new collection twice each year, he designs by building on a concept that could take three years to come to fruition. This is a process akin to creating a narrative and allows Drummond to choose a more thoughtful and ethical approach to clothing design with an end goal of creating interesting, timeless clothing that will work in his clients’ wardrobes for years to come.
Drummond’s work has been featured in several exhibitions, including Michael Drummond: Being Played (solo exhibition), World Chess Hall of Fame, St. Louis (2019); It’s Not You, It’s Me: A Declaration of Independence (curator), Sheldon Art Galleries, St. Louis (2019); A Queen Within: Adorned Archetypes: Museum of Pop Culture, Seattle (2019) and New Orleans Museum of Art (2018); The Imagery of Chess: Saint Louis Artists, World Chess Hall of Fame (2017); Little Black Dress: From Mourning to Night, Missouri History Museum, St. Louis (2016); Spread, Reese Gallery, St. Louis (2016); Pants!, Regional Arts Commission, St. Louis (2016); A Queen Within: Adorned Archetypes, Fashion and Chess, World Chess Hall of Fame (2013); Unraveled: Crossing the Line Between Fashion and Art, Sheldon Art Galleries (2007); and Layered, Stitched, Assembled, Art St. Louis (2006). In 2013, he curated Dressed, an exhibition at the Regional Arts Commission, St. Louis.
He has also worked as a costume designer for many operas, dances, and theatrical productions in the United States and Europe, including Medea, the Junction, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (2017); Kinetic Field Work, Washington University Dance Theatre, St. Louis (2011); and The Threepenny Opera (co-designed with Bonnie Kruger), Washington University Dance Theatre (2011).
Drummond has shown his work in numerous fashion shows, including Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, Omaha Fashion Week, Kansas City Fashion Week, Nashville Fashion Week, and the Factory Fashion Show, St. Louis. His work has been reviewed and showcased in publications including the New York Times, New York Post, Huffington Post, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Tennessean, Alive Magazine, St. Louis Magazine, Hipster, and Vital Voice.

Charlotte Dundas was the world's second successful steamboat, designed for towing and demonstrating the practicality of steam power for ships. William Symington developed the boat's drive using a pivoted crosshead beam above the vertical cylinder to transmit power to a crank. The boat was built by Alexander Hart and trials on the River Carron in June 1801 were successful. However, towing sloops from the river Forth up the Carron and then along the Forth and Clyde Canal presented challenges as the boat was found to be underpowered on the canal, so the canal company refused further trials.

Why choose trash bin automatic
In fact, in our daily life, we should not only reduce the production of garbage as much as possible, but also learn how to classify it. On the one hand, smart garbage bins can reduce the work burden of environmental protection workers, and at the same time, we can contribute to the environmental protection of the city. To protect the environment, starting from me, garbage sorting, from the preparation of garbage cans, these new and practical trash cans may bring a convenience to life.
Although garbage classification has been paid more and more attention by people, it does take up a bit of space to prepare multiple smart sensor dustbins in the same living space. This kind of garbage bins contain partition, which can be separated from non-recyclable garbage, and the separation in the bin is detachable. Convenient to use with garbage bags, but also convenient to dump garbage, simple and clean appearance, will not feel abrupt at home.
The smart recycle bin can also has a sensing function. The lid can be opened automatically when the knee is close or the hand is waved over the trash can. It is very convenient to throw the garbage into the trash can without contact with the trash can. The design with a lid is suitable for both the bathroom and the kitchen.

FAQ about Smart Trash Bin
FAQ about Smart Trash Bin
Why use optical sensing technology?
The height of the sensing window of the infrared automatic sensing function can reach 30CM. When a human hand or an object approaches the sensing window about 15-30CM, the trash can lid will automatically open. After the lid is opened, there is no object in the sensing area and after 5 seconds Only then will the lid of the barrel be closed again, which improves the 15-20CM limit range of the induction height on the market, and improves the drawbacks of the automatic induction on the market that it is easy to pinch hands without delay.
What are the applications of smart dustbin？
The smart sensor trash can has begun to penetrate into people's daily life. Compared with the traditional trash can, it is more functional and more user-friendly. The concept of contactless life is a brand new experience of fashion technology.
We carefully design highly functional trash cans according to specific environments and people's usage habits. For example, wet and dry sorting trash cans are used for the classification of dry and wet garbage in the kitchen, and wall-mounted trash cans are designed for easy picking/washing/cutting of miscellaneous garbage. , The toilet special trash can is designed for the narrow space of the bathroom/with tissue box and toilet brush, etc. We will intelligently detect the amount of garbage in the trash can. When the trash can is full, there will be a reminder and the lid will not automatically Open, and can timely feedback and notify the cleaning staff to clean up, reducing the daily workload of the cleaning staff. , We want to truly integrate the trash can into our lives, make it convenient for us to use and enjoy the convenience brought to us by technology.
Why we need smart bins？
1. Contactless delivery, healthy and sanitary. When we need to deliver garbage, people and objects can put garbage without touching any part of the garbage can to prevent cross-infection;
2. Good sealing performance, reducing the chance of cross-infection of various germs in life, no garbage overflowing, and ensuring fresh air around;
3. Mute and slow down, the whole delivery process from opening to closing is quiet, enjoying a quiet time;
4. Good waterproof performance, waterproof grade 5, waterproof splash;
5. Low power consumption, no need for external power supply, can be used with ordinary dry batteries or equipped with lithium batteries, long battery life;

Back in the 80s when I was a little kid, Casio digital watches used to be a big deal. I got one as a second level hand-me-down from my cousin who got it from his Uncle.
This one here is a new piece that my Mom gifted me last year. It's made in Japan, and it's every bit the same as the ones that were made in the 80s, even the quality of inscriptions printed on the fascia.
I love this watch for its practicality and affordability.

Bruce Lee statue, HK Avenue of Stars.
Bruce Lee was a martial artist, actor, and director who is considered one of the most influential martial artists of all time. He was born in San Francisco in 1940, but grew up in Hong Kong. Lee is best known for his roles in action films such as "Enter the Dragon" and "Fist of Fury." He founded his own martial art philosophy called Jeet Kune Do, which focused on practicality, speed, and efficiency in combat. Unfortunately, Lee died in 1973 at the young age of 32, but his legacy continues to live on through his films and teachings.

My Ray Flash arrived yesterday, not overly inpressed with the build quality. For £160 i'd have expected the plastic not to feel like it came from a Kinder Egg, also the screw bit ontop which applies pressure to keep it on the flash is apalling. Its also massive (but still fits inside my massive Tamrac bag). However, I can work around those problems.
This is the first shot with it and the reason I bought it, and the Sigma 8mm. I've tried the Fisheye at gigs and am still stuggling to find a decent way to light the shots - the 580EXII end sticks out to far into the shots and I cant get enough coverage bouncing in my usual venues, I tried off camera, but 8mm is soo bloody wide I couldnt find anywhere good to put it. I found holding the flash off camera with my other arm to be a pain in the arse and a bit hit and miss. Maybe the Rayflash will solve these problems, although im unsure of its practicality for gigs.

Im Land der Mauer, Mathias Platzeck in Bethlehem
Dr. Michael Bröning has presented his book and moderated the discussion, The Politics of Change in Palestine: State-Building and Non-Violent Resistance.
“The Politics of Change in Palestine” discusses these changes. The book contradicts the prevalent myth that incompetent, corrupt, and uncompromising Palestinian decision-makers are responsible for the lasting stalemate in the Middle-East Peace Process. The book highlights recent political developments in Palestine that fundamentally redefine important parameters of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These include the re-invention of Hamas, reforms within the Fatah movement, state-building efforts of the Palestinian Authority and the surge of non-violent resistance.

General area of Roundup, Montana beside US Hwy. 12.
Had never seen one of these but knew instantly what it was. I remember my Dad telling of going up into the mountains of Wyoming in the 1960,s to see a setup like this, with a herder tending the band of sheep for months at a time. Clear channel radio at night was the entertainment.
It was setting at the end of the lane, so was able to take several photos of it and look around. The beauty of traveling alone, not sure that stopping to check this out would interest many beside me.

History of the American Sheepwagon
(Text "Sheepwagon, Home on the Range" by Nancy Weidel 2001)
The sheepwagon is an object of fascination to many people today. The sheepwagon itself is a marvel of practicality and efficiency. And people often wonder who invented the sheepwagon. The traditional design of the sheepwagon, along with the placement of such defining interior features as bed, stove, table, and benches had become standardized by 1900, just sixteen years after it's invention. But not every sheepwagon was built just alike; in fact, quite the opposite is true. Designed to provide shelter and heat, mobility and storage, the sheepwagon was the ideal home for the herder.
Although the first wagons had only a canvas flap for a door, a Dutch door, or "stable door" as the English called it, quickly replaced the flap and became one of the sheepwagon's most prominent features. The door's top half could remain open while the bottom stayed shut. This feature served several purposes; with the top open, the herder could hear and see his sheep. The open top door also provided ventilation for the wagon and modulated the heat of the stove, which could be quite intense. A closed bottom door also kept out the herder's dogs and other animals. According to ranchers, however, the primary function of the Dutch door was to allow a herder or camptender to stand within the wagon - or even sit on the side bench or a box - and still be able to extend his arms through the open top door to hold the horses' reins when the wagon was being moved. The sheepwagon has retained its original interior configuration because the placement of its door on the front, and its component parts such as the bed and stove, utilized the small space in the most efficient manner possible.
One observation of the interior of the western sheepwagon was the remarkable resemblance to a ship's cabin, another version of a compact, efficient living space. Both have well-designed storage areas, built-in benches, retractable or fold-down tables, and a sleeping berth. A story is told of two old sheep-herders, both former sailors, who finally felt at home in the western desert which they described "like being on a dry sea." A term often applied to the deserts and high plains is "a sea of grass," the empty landscape consisting of only two elements, treeless earth against a huge sky, the undulating hills resembling waves on the ocean.
Although no documentary evidence appears to exist that would confirm it, most experts agree the first sheepwagons were probably improvised by sheepmen of the northern territories since it was here that they needed protection from the harsh weather. They began with a standard wagon box about ten feet long and three feet wide. The bows of such light freight of farm wagons could easily be covered with canvas and outfitted with perhaps a bedroll inside. Adding a built-in bunk and fastening a small stove to the floor were the next logical steps in the evolution of the crude house on wheels.
By the 1900s, as the sheep business continued to expand rapidly throughout the western states, sheepcamps were in demand. A rancher had a choice as to where he could obtain a sheepwagon. He might build one himself or obtain one through the local blacksmith. Blacksmiths played a key role not only in the invention and modification of the first sheepwagons, but also in the subsequent building and repair.

The Renault Modus is a mini multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) produced by the French manufacturer Renault from September 2004 to 2012, in Valladolid, Spain. The production version is very similar to the concept car of the same name, which was presented at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show. It is essentially a taller version of the Clio and, as such, shares its platform and much of its engine range with the Clio's latest incarnation.
Originally marketed as "a higher-range alternative to the Twingo and Clio", it is targeted at people who want the practicality and versatility of the larger Renault Scénic but without the added size. The Clio platform that spawned the Modus also gave rise to the current Nissan Micra and its monospace relative, the Nissan Note.

Concert and exhibition opening in the evangelical Lutheran church of Augusta Victoria on The Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, on Friday the 16th of December at 6 a clock pm. The exhibition is a complete Biblical cycle of both The Old- and The New Testament developed by the Norwegian, surrealist painter Håkon Gullvåg. The exhibition was in 2005 made as a temporary decoration for Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, which is the national sanctuary of Norway. The motifs will through this show “come home” to their historical context, and will be displayed in the church during both Christmas 2011 and Easter 2012.
Opening speeches will be held by H. E. the Norwegian Minister of Government Administration, Reform and Church affairs Rigmor Aasrud, and by the bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land the Rt. Rev. Dr. Munib A. Younan.

It really was America in the 50's today at my local garage, as not one, but two of the local 1950's American cars showed up on the forecourt, both immaculately kept and fabulously preserved both inside and out.
The first was a 1962 Ford Thunderbird, sporting the flared rear end and lavished wheel to roof in glistening chrome, a true motor for the discerning road-goer of the rock n' roll era.
The second was from the other side of the American motoring market, rugged practicality, and that was summed up in the 1950's by the Chevy Advanced Design. This particular model being a 1951 Chevy 3100 (½-ton).
Can technology help prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV), particularly in low- and middle-income countries? Increasingly, cell phones, cameras, crowd-sourcing, and mobile apps are being used in innovative ways to address GBV, but questions surrounding ethics, effectiveness, and practicality remain. The Interagency Gender Working Group, U. S. Agency for International Development, Woodrow Wilson Center, CARE, and Population Reference Bureau will host a panel discussion exploring the ethics around new technologies to combat GBV; how effective they are; and what some of the more practical and actionable ways forward might be.

This section comprises a “collection” of 4 photographs which I saw – very briefly - about 25 years ago, just long enough for me to photocopy; and also a montage I have made up of all four together, along with the reverse of each. (1 is front of Back “A”, 2 the front of Back “B”, etc).
I did not know who the subjects were or even who the photographs belonged to. I suspect my colleague (sadly long since passed away), who was extremely into “antiques” saw them and immediately realised they were of historical significance to me - and managed to borrow them in order for me to make photocopies.
Thankfully the photocopier at work back then was a fairly good one and the detail captured is superb. Despite two of the photos bearing Caithness photographer details, it is clear from the photographs that all four depict officers of the Sutherland County Constabulary.
Numbers 1 and 2: - are from the (late) 1860s, and were professionally stamped on the reverse: WILLIAM AIRD / PHOTOGRAPHER / LOCHINVER.
Numbers 3 and 4:- show the details of the photographer, P (for Peter) Swanson, on the back within a very ornate design. No. 3 (obviously earlier than No.4) says Mr Swanson had studios in Irvine Ayrshire, near Glasgow) and Thurso, whereas No. says Wick and Thurso. Research reveals that he did not open his Wick Studio until 1887 and that he died in 1890. Chances are then that No. 4 was taken in 1887, and No. 3 a few years before.
Of particular interest is that the Constable in No. 1 (and I suspect I now know who he was – more later) bears the collar number 10 (and so does no. 3, and I suspect No. 4 also) whereas the officer in No. 2 is clearly “18”.
Now the force actually only ever had 12 men of ALL ranks (as late as 1871) – albeit 3 extra men were employed on Railway Construction duties and another 3 had been taken on to police the Kildonan Gold Diggings. So, as there is also the possibility another extra man was taken on as “additional” around that time, that would just achieve the “18” – in that the 18 men would include Sergeant/s (officially 1 but in practice 2 – a long story, to do with salmon fisheries). Soon afterwards the “gold” men were paid off - and some other members of the force were too, as the Police Committee cut their budget to the bone. So No.1 and 2 (seemingly taken at same place/time) can really be no later than 1871.
Now it will be noted that No. 3 is the only photo where the officer has a hat on. It is a shako or pill-box, and I surmise that this came in around the time Chief constable McHardy left the force to go to Inverness-shire. Prior to that, the force wore helmets, but the new Chief Constable, Roderick MacLean who till then had been Superintendent in Ross-shire, may well have decided on the headgear change - either through cost or practicality. The badge is similar to – but smaller than - the helmet badge, which of course would have been too large and too heavy for the far lighter pillbox hat.
I reckon No. 4 is the same man as Constable 10 in No. 1 and 3, only a wee bit older and less severe-looking. This could be – if it is who I think is – because he about to move out of the fairly remote North West of the County to the relative modernity (railway et al, and thus proximity to the bigger towns) of Bonar Bridge in the south east of the County (bordering with Ross & Cromarty).
Constable 18 I am unsure of – largely because the Sutherland Constabulary Personnel Register has obviously been filled out retrospectively and from memory (and thus many detailed such as transfers are either missing or sketchy)
Constable 10 however I do bow have an inkling of – I reckon he is James CRAIGHEAD.
James Craighead was an Agricultural Labourer before he left his native Aberdeenshire and joined the Metropolitan Police in London, where he served for 3 years and 9 months.
Then on 18th December 1864, aged 33, he moved to Sutherland Constabulary. The Aberdeen connection was of course prevalent in the Sutherland force. The then Sutherland Chief Constable (Peter Ewen) and Deputy Chief (Sgt George Bridgeford) had both begun their police careers in the Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire forces respectively. Doubtless PC Craighead had been recommended to one or both of them. It was by no means unusual for a man from the Highlands (or indeed also Grampian Region - North East Scotland) to find no vacancies in local forces, and it would therefore be suggested by the local Chief Officer they should apply to a “South Country” force, gain experience there and await a vacancy nearer to home. Many did just that, while others of course never did - as they perhaps did not fancy the onus of being on duty 24 hours a day in rural location, when used to working shifts (and then going home to be clear of duty until their next shift) and set (and undisturbed) days off!
Here I digress – Sutherland only rarely took men on, and it was very unusual to take on more than one at a time (only for special instances such as railway construction and gold diggings). So it is fascinating that TWO officers were appointed on 16th December 1864 – PC James Craighead and PC George Melvin. George, was – just like James – a native of Aberdeenshire, and also had previous police service, namely 5 years in Fifeshire Constabulary. It may just be a coincidence but the Deputy Chief of Fife at that time (and since 1862) was none other than Alexander McHardy (also from Aberdeenshire) who had been Sergeant and Deputy Chief of Sutherland (under Mr Ewan) from 1859 to 1861 until he went to Fife – and he would be coming back as Chief in 1866 to replace Mr Ewan.
For both men, both of Aberdeenshire stock, both in their early 30s with substantial police experience and obviously both having expressed an interest in extremely rural policing - to both be taken on at the same time is surely much more than coincidence!
One wonders if PC Melvin (whose early career moves are unfortunately not recorded in the Register) was doing duty in the Lochinver area along with PC Craighead and the opportunity was taken for both to be photographed?
PC Craighead moved to Lochinver from Melvich in 1866 and appears to have been there until 1870, which fits the bill time-wise for photos 1 and 2.
The rather vague transfer records show he was thereafter at Lairg between 1873 and 1875, then there is a gap.
The 1881 (Caithness) census shows PC Craighead in the Reay Parish (but that would be because he was then based at Melvich, just along the road, over the County boundary in Sutherland). He was then 51, and his birthplace is given as Longside, Aberdeenshire. His wife Hannah (aged 49, born at Bonhill, Dunbartonshire) and son James F, aged 14 (born at Assynt in Sutherland) completed the household. The Force records show (again likely done from memory) that he was at Melvich from 1882 to 1887 before moving to Bonar Bridge to complete his service.
Melvich is on the north coast of Sutherland and is only 17 miles along the coast from Thurso in Caithness -the largest town in the area. In those days if one wished to get from NW Sutherland to anywhere on the east coast of Sutherland the best route was via Thurso, especially since the railway arrived there in 1874.
Chief Constable Peter Ewen resigned and left the force on 15th June 1866, after some form of disagreement with the Police Committee. Thus Sergeant (possibly with personal unofficial “rank” of Inspector) George Bridgeford, as Deputy Chief Constable, was to run the force single-handed for two months until Mr Ewen’s successor was in place. That man was Alexander McHardy, already mentioned (while Sergeant in the Sutherland force he had previously held the Deputy Chief Constable post until “transferring” to Fife Constabulary). Mr McHardy remained at Dornoch until December 1882 when he was appointed Chief Constable of Inverness-shire. Mr Bridgeford (by then officially an Inspector) again took command, as it was not until the following June that a new Chief Constable was in place.
On 8th June 1883 Roderick MacLean, then Superintendent and Deputy Chief constable of Ross & Cromarty Constabulary, became the third Chief Constable of Sutherland. Sadly, his reign was brief as he died on 7th April 1887. As a result the man who stood in pending a new Chief being selected was – you’ve guessed it – George Bridgeford. It took three months before a new Chief Constable was appointed, this time a police Inspector from Inverness-shire, Malcolm Macdonald, an imposing figure who would remain in post until he too died in service in 1906.
PC Craighead retired from the force on pension (unfortunately I do not have any details) on 15th May 1891 on reaching 60.
PC Melvin is known to have served at Bonar from 1881 to 1888 and then from 1888 to 1891 at Lairg. On 26th May 1891 he moved to Rosehall, where he retired on 14th February 1892, presumably compulsorily as he would be then have also reached 60 years of age. In November his wage was increased from 25/- (£1.25p) to 26/2d (£1.31p), and when he retired he was awarded an annual pension of £36.17/4d. (£30.76) which was 14/- (14 shillings; £0.70p) per week.
Unfortunately research has failed to locate their graves – certainly not in Sutherland – so it is not known whether they enjoyed a long and relaxing retirement. It certainly seems as if both would have retired back home to Aberdeenshire.
I bet they had a few stories to tell of their time in Sutherland!

A native of the South Carolina lowcountry, Carew Rice (1899 – 1971) was the son of James Henry Rice, Jr., a noted conservationist and newspaper columnist. As a student in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Carew Rice discovered the art of cutting silhouettes and worked from the Depression era up until 1970, when he cut silhouettes for South Carolina’s Tricentennial celebration.
Rice subtly challenged viewers with reductive renditions of Old South nostalgia. His cautionary tales were grounded in conservative values, but he liberally embraced the field hands, chain gangs, and working-class lifestyles of marginalized minorities. His black subjects, sometimes peppered with Gullah dialect, were love letters to people he lived among and respected.
Being an artist of practicality as well as of principles, Rice also cut picturesque lowcountry landscapes, church architecture, wildfowl, and Charleston’s intricate wrought iron gates to produce commercially viable merchandise. Some of these scenes were applied to drinking glasses and stationery; some of his characters became templates for stuffed dolls for children. He traveled the world creating silhouettes of politicians, royalty, and ordinary folks, and he became well known throughout the South for portraiture, landscapes, and scenes of everyday life meticulously rendered in this unusual and exacting medium.

The events are for social media newbies as well as the digital die-hards. Coming along to Be Good Be Social will help you understand:
