Where to begin? Starting the Weekend off with the weather forecast for probable snow, you can imagine how this little town, nestled between natural water sources, felt like in the early mornings. Was it worth it? By all means! As if it wasn't enough to have the opportunity to capture a Wedding in this beautiful hidden gem and secluded town, I was also attending one of my favourite Weddings to date. Die Venters are two of the most precious hearts I have ever met. With(what seems like) endless kindness towards anyone they meet, and joy that can simply light up the dullest of moments. Go ahead - These endearing hearts will make your day, it's a given!

Rape Culture | South African YouTuber Theto Lekala
Over they years, I used to laugh or not do anything about it when males used to body shame, sexually prey and perv on women. I believed it was none of my business and was obviously saving myself from getting bashed as well. I now realize that I have been given a voice to voice out for the voiceless. So whilst I still have the voice I will use it to advocate for women out there because I know how hard it can be to not be able to voice out your opinions due to fear. In this video, I will be touching a little on rape culture, consent and holding perpetrators accountable.
Thank you so much for taking time to watch, feel free to comment on the experiences you've had.

SKA South Africa Shared Sky project international media briefing
As part of an ingenious collaboration between science and indigenous art, three artists from a small community art centre in Nieu-Bethesda in the Eastern Cape travelled with an engineering delegation from SKA South Africa to Australia for the launch in Perth on 30 September 2014 of the Shared Sky project.
Shared Sky stems from a vision by the Square Kilometre Array Organisation (SKAO) to bring together South African and Australian artists in a collaborative exhibition celebrating humanity's ancient cultural wisdom and explanations of the universe. The exhibition draws on the art and history of the people whose ancestors stood on the same soil where the SKA telescopes will stand, and looked up at the same, Shared Sky of the Southern Hemisphere. The exhibition is currently in Perth, and will travel to South Africa in early 2015.
On 21 September, at a media briefing before the delegation left for Perth for the launch, SKA South Africa Director Bernie Fanaroff and SKA SA Communications Manager Lorenzo Raynard provided background to Shared Sky, and the artists displayed some of their art and spoke about how it captures their traditional understanding of the night sky.

Our people.
Governors, Senators, Diplomats, Jurists, Vice President of the United States (1950s Interviews)
Interviewees:
John Sherman Cooper, politician, jurist, and diplomat from the U.S. state of Kentucky
Herbert O'Conor, a Democrat, was the 51st Governor of Maryland in the United States from 1939 to 1947. He also served in the United States Senate, representing Maryland from 1947 to 1953.
Homer S. Ferguson, United States Senator from Michigan
Hubert Humphrey, served under President Lyndon B. Johnson as the 38th Vice President of the United States. Humphrey twice served as a United States Senator from Minnesota, and served as Democratic Majority Whip. He was a founder of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and Americans for Democratic Action. He also served as Mayor of Minneapolis, Minnesota from 1945 to 1948. Humphrey was the nominee of the Democratic Party in the 1968 presidential election but lost to the Republican nominee, Richard Nixon.
Irving Ives, American politician. A member of the Republican Party, he served as a United States Senator from New York from 1947 to 1959. He was previously a member of the New York State Assembly for sixteen years, serving as Minority Leader (1935), Speaker (1936), and Majority Leader (1937--1946). A moderate Republican, he was known as a specialist in labor and civil rights legislation.
John Sparkman, American politician from the U.S. state of Alabama. A Southern Democrat, Sparkman served in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate from 1937 until 1979. He was the Democratic Party's nominee for Vice President as Adlai Stevenson's running mate in the 1952 U.S. presidential election.
Joseph McCarthy, American politician
Joseph Raymond Joe McCarthy (November 14, 1908 -- May 2, 1957) was an American politician who served as a Republican U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957. Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion. He was noted for making claims that there were large numbers of Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers inside the United States federal government and elsewhere. Ultimately, his tactics and inability to substantiate his claims led him to be censured by the United States Senate.
The term McCarthyism, coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communist activities. Today the term is used more generally in reference to demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character and/or patriotism of political opponents.
Born and raised on a Wisconsin farm, McCarthy earned a law degree at Marquette University in 1935 and was elected as a circuit judge in 1939, the youngest in state history. At age 33, McCarthy volunteered for the United States Marine Corps and served during World War II. He successfully ran for the United States Senate in 1946, defeating Robert M. La Follette, Jr. After three largely undistinguished years in the Senate, McCarthy rose suddenly to national fame in February 1950 when he asserted in a speech that he had a list of members of the Communist Party and members of a spy ring who were employed in the State Department. McCarthy was never able to prove his sensational charge.
In succeeding years, McCarthy made additional accusations of Communist infiltration into the State Department, the administration of President Harry S. Truman, Voice of America, and the United States Army. He also used charges of communism, communist sympathies, or disloyalty to attack a number of politicians and other individuals inside and outside of government. With the highly publicized Army--McCarthy hearings of 1954, McCarthy's support and popularity faded. On December 2, 1954, the Senate voted to censure Senator McCarthy by a vote of 67 to 22, making him one of the few senators ever to be disciplined in this fashion. McCarthy died in Bethesda Naval Hospital on May 2, 1957, at the age of 48. The official cause of death was acute hepatitis; it is widely accepted that this was caused, or at least exacerbated, by alcoholism.
