Introduction to the Exhibition-Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings
Sarah Greenough, senior curator and head, department of photographs, National Gallery of Art. For more than forty years, Sally Mann (b. 1951, Lexington, Virginia) has made experimental, elegiac, and hauntingly beautiful photographs—a broad body of work that includes figure studies, still lifes, and landscapes. Offering both a sweeping overview of Mann’s artistic achievement and a focused exploration of the continuing influence of the South on her work, the exhibition Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings presents some 115 photographs, many of which have not been exhibited or published previously. This powerful and provocative work is organized into five sections: Family, The Land, Last Measure, Abide with Me, and What Remains. On view from March 4 through May 28, 2018, the exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog with essays that explore the development of Mann’s art; her family photographs; the landscape as repository of personal, cultural, and racial memory; and her debt to 19th-century photographers and techniques. Sarah Greenough celebrates the exhibition with this introductory lecture recorded on opening day.
'Top Chef' judges walk red carpet in New Orleans to promote new season
TOP CHEF HITS THE BIG EASY
New Orleans' po-boy shops, gourmet restaurants and suburban bayou-side eateries are the backdrop for the country's search for its next Top Chef.
Bravo's 11th season of the hit reality TV food competition show was filmed in and around the city.
On Wednesday (25 SEP2013), some of New Orleans' own top chefs walked a red carpet for a special pre-premiere screening of the show, which debuts on the cable network channel Oct. 2.
Chef Emeril Lagasse, who returns this season as a judge, said the season is sure to be different from any other.
It's going to be a very interesting season because I think a lot of this new talent maybe haven't worked with alligator, maybe haven't worked with turtle, he said. The culture and cuisine here is over 200 years old. You can't say that about a lot of cities. It's really amazing.
Chef John Besh, who also served as a guest judge on two of this season's episodes, praised his home state and the show's coming season.
What we have here is really special, said Besh, who owns several New Orleans restaurants, including Restaurant August and Domenica. We have the only indigenous urban cuisine in the country, and to share it with an audience of millions is really special.
The show pits contestants competing in various food preparation scenarios and they have to survive weekly eliminations for the honor of being named the nation's Top Chef.
It will include glimpses inside Lagasse's restaurant kitchens, Besh's bayou-side home and kitchen and modest places such as Cafe Reconcile, which grew in popularity after Hurricane Katrina when its kitchen was spared flooding.
Cafe Reconcile was among the first restaurants to reopen after the 2005 storm. It's also been celebrated for its mission to train high school students in at-risk neighborhoods for work in the restaurant industry. It serves up New Orleans specialties such as red beans and rice and gumbo.
Several contestants walked the carpet among the veteran chefs but it remained unclear who would survive the first cut. The screening stopped short of revealing who would be eliminated.
The show's executive producer, Matt Reichman, said prior to Wednesday's red carpet that one episode was shot with a focus on the city's ongoing recovery from Katrina. But the city has provided many other storytelling opportunities, such as its rich culinary traditions, its history and music.
Among those included in the series is Kermit Ruffins, the jazz trumpeter known to cook up eats on a giant, curbside grill outside his New Orleans night club between sets.
The competition is nuts, Reichman said. The chefs are talented and fierce, but there's a layer this season that captures the atmosphere of being in New Orleans that was a lot of fun. It really is an embarrassment the riches we had access to.
Besh said he appreciates that the show ventured beyond New Orleans, to bayou-side communities such as Lafitte, Chalmette and north of Lake Pontchartrain.
Our food ways don't end at the city limits, he said. You have to go out to the bayou, out to the country, to understand where our food comes from.
Other New Orleans chefs making appearances in the series include Leah Chase, John Folse and Susan Spicer.
The show is an Emmy and James Beard award-winning series. Previous host cities include New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago and Las Vegas.
Mark Romig, chief executive of the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corp., said it was only a matter of time before the show landed in New Orleans.
Food is one of the top reasons people visit New Orleans, he said.
The show premieres Oct. 2 at 10 p.m. EST.

SUMMARY
=======
Michigan ( (listen)) is a state in the Great Lakes and Midwestern regions of the United States. The state's name, Michigan, originates from the Ojibwe word mishigamaa, meaning large water or large lake. Michigan is the tenth most populous of the 50 United States, with the 11th most extensive total area, and is the largest state by total area east of the Mississippi River. Michigan has a population of about 10 million. Its capital is Lansing and its largest city is Detroit. Metro Detroit is among the nation's most populous and largest metropolitan economies.
Michigan is the only state to consist of two peninsulas. The Lower Peninsula, to which the name Michigan was originally applied, is often noted as shaped like a mitten. The Upper Peninsula (often called the U.P.) is separated from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac, a five-mile (8 km) channel that joins Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. The Mackinac Bridge connects the peninsulas. The state has the longest freshwater coastline of any political subdivision in the world, being bounded by four of the five Great Lakes, plus Lake Saint Clair. As a result, it is one of the leading U.S. states for recreational boating. Michigan also has 64,980 inland lakes and ponds. A person in the state is never more than six miles (9.7 km) from a natural water source or more than 85 miles (137 km) from a Great Lakes shoreline.The area was first settled by Native American tribes, whose successive cultures occupied the territory for thousands of years. Colonized by French explorers in the 17th century, it was claimed as part of New France. After France's defeat in the French and Indian War in 1762, the region came under British rule. Britain ceded this territory to the newly independent United States after Britain's defeat in the American Revolutionary War. The area was part of the larger Northwest Territory until 1800, when western Michigan became part of the Indiana Territory. Michigan Territory was formed in 1805, but some of the northern border with Canada was not agreed upon until after the War of 1812. Michigan was admitted into the Union in 1837 as the 26th state, a free one. It soon became an important center of industry and trade in the Great Lakes region and a popular immigrant destination in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Although Michigan developed a diverse economy, it is widely known as the center of the U.S. automotive industry, which developed as a major economic force in the early 20th century. It is home to the country's three major automobile companies (whose headquarters are all within the Detroit metropolitan area). While sparsely populated, the Upper Peninsula is important for tourism thanks to its abundance of natural resources, while the Lower Peninsula is a center of manufa ...

The Upper Peninsula (often called the U.P.) is separated from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac, a five-mile (8 km) channel that joins Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. The Mackinac Bridge connects the peninsulas. The state has the longest freshwater coastline of any political subdivision in the world, being bounded by four of the five Great Lakes, plus Lake Saint Clair. As a result, it is one of the leading U.S. states for recreational boating. Michigan also has 64,980 inland lakes and ponds. A person in the state is never more than six miles (9.7 km) from a natural water source or more than 85 miles (137 km) from a Great Lakes shoreline.The area was first settled by Native American tribes, whose successive cultures occupied the territory for thousands of years. Colonized by French explorers in the 17th century, it was claimed as part of New France. After France's defeat in the French and Indian War in 1762, the region came under British rule. Britain ceded this territory to the newly independent United States after Britain's defeat in the American Revolutionary War. The area was part of the larger Northwest Territory until 1800, when western Michigan became part of the Indiana Territory. Michigan Territory was formed in 1805, but some of the northern border with Canada was not agreed upon until after the War of 1812. Michigan was admitted into the Union in 1837 as the 26th state, a free one. It soon became an important center of industry and trade in the Great Lakes region and a popular immigrant destination in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Although Michigan developed a diverse economy, it is widely known as the center of the U.S. automotive industry, which developed as a major economic force in the early 20th century. It is home to the country's three major automobile companies (whose headquarters are all within the Detroit metropolitan area). While sparsely populated, the Upper Peninsula is important for tourism thanks to its abundance of natural resources, while the Lower Peninsula is a center of manufacturing, forestry, agriculture, services, and high-tech industry.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
