PERTH: CITY BEACH, the MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACH in WESTERN AUSTRALIA ⛱️????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit the beautiful city of Perth in Western Australia and let's go to the city's most popular beach: City Beach which is a busy spot for swimming and surfing, with its fine sand and strong waves. Open-air cafes serve smoothies and spicy fish tacos, while upscale, glass-fronted seafood restaurants overlook the Indian Ocean from a striking modern complex centred on the landmark, ship-shaped City of Perth Surf Life Saving Club. Adjoining grassy terraces draw sunset-watchers.
Drawing in a more upmarket crowd, this beach hosts a chic yet casual atmosphere and is located 15 minutes from the centre of Perth. The 500m long white sanded beach is backed by a soft grassed area, where you will often find families enjoying a picnic or BBQ while their children play on one of the multiple shaded playgrounds.
Perth, capital of Western Australia, sits where the Swan River meets the southwest coast. Sandy beaches line its suburbs, and the huge, riverside Kings Park and Botanic Garden on Mount Eliza offer sweeping views of the city. The Perth Cultural Centre houses the state ballet and opera companies, and occupies its own central precinct, including a theatre, library and the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. It is the largest country in Oceania and the world's sixth-largest country by total area.

Russell Drysdale
'The drover's wife' c.1945
A gift to the people of Australia by Mr and Mrs Benno Schmidt of New York and Esperance, Western Australia through the American Friends of the Australian National Gallery 1987
© Estate of Russell Drysdale
Russell Drysdale created a new vision of Australia. He painted compassionate images of unheroic women and men in the outback, loving their individuality and their peculiarities. He portrayed a drought-ridden and eroded landscape, that seemed to have existed before time, as well as seemingly haunted towns with quaint buildings framing gaping streets.
In 1944, Drysdale was commissioned by the Sydney Morning Herald to record the drought devastation and associated soil erosion in north-western New South Wales. These drawings and the paintings Drysdale subsequently produced on this theme, present a reality he had seen. Nonetheless, they resulted in controversy, with some writers believing that the images might upset people who worked on the land and devalue land prices, while others maintained that they would increase sympathy for country people and encourage the government to spend more on solving the cause of soil erosion.
Drysdale made a drawing during his drought journey, A drovers' camp near Deniliquin 1944, that shows the sparse landscape with the drover, his wife and their wagon. Soon after, he painted Thedrover's wife, depicting the vast, flat and barren landscape with dead trees and a cloudless sky and bringing forward and enlarging the woman, making her monumental. She may have lank hair, wear a drab, unfashionable dress, a nondescript hat and flat lace-up shoes, but she stands assuredly, looking out towards the viewer with her feet planted firmly on the ground. There is a gentleness in her face and eyes. The drover is still present, but set back in the background, with his horses and covered wagon.
Drysdale's contemporary, the art critic and artist, Paul Haefliger, said that Drysdale 'conveys a difficult and lonely existence, where man constantly battles against the elements'.(1) But is this true? Although his people are often alone, as is the drover's wife, they rarely seem to be lonely; rather, they appear to be in harmony with themselves and their place. The drover's wife is not battling against the elements, or anything else. In her own way she is heroic.
Like Tom Roberts, Drysdale carefully structured his pictures, arranging space and volume and using a luminous, old-masterly, approach to his paint. However, unlike those of earlier artists, Drysdale's people are not pioneers struggling to tame the bush or shearers working up a hard sweat, they are strong men and women who are laconically at home in their environment. Unlike some other artists of 1940s, such as John Perceval and Albert Tucker, whose paintings are expressions of anger and frustration, Drysdale showed people who are calm. They are working people located in what might seem to be an inhospitable environment, but who appear perfectly at ease there, as resilient as the environment demands. He created a new sense of what it feels like to live in Australia. Drysdale observed:
To live for any length of time in the far regions of The Centre, camped in a swag and removed from the compass of society, needs a new adjustment ... It is a life that demands a different set of values, a heightened perception which in turn develops a new awareness. What appear at first oddities become almost commonplace through a new interpretation. (2)
When, in 1949, Drysdale exhibited another image of a large, strong woman in an outback landscape, Woman in a landscape, some viewers considered it to be an insult to Australian womanhood. They thought she was a freak, inelegant, ungainly, of hideous proportions. But although this was never stated, they were probably affronted because Drysdale presented her as having a different sense of values from theirs, as being comfortable in the wide open spaces of the Australian outback.
Drysdale's paintings have had a pervasive impact on the Australian psyche. The drover's wife has a specific setting, Deniliquin, in north-west New South Wales and is connected to a particular event, the drought, devastation and soil erosion of 1944. But it is much more than this, it is an allegory of the white Australian people's relationship with this ancient land.

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.

SUMMARY
=======
The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit. Its first component launched into orbit in 1998, with the first long-term residents arriving in November 2000. It has been inhabited continuously since that date. The last pressurised module was fitted in 2011. The station is expected to operate until at least 2028. Development and assembly of the station continues, with components scheduled for launch in 2018 and 2019. The ISS is the largest human-made body in low Earth orbit and can often be seen with the naked eye from Earth. The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays, and other components. ISS components have been launched by Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets, and American Space Shuttles.The ISS serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which crew members conduct experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology, and other fields. The station is suited for the testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions to the Moon and Mars. The ISS maintains an orbit with an altitude of between 330 and 435 km (205 and 270 mi) by means of reboost manoeuvres using the engines of the Zvezda module or visiting spacecraft. It completes 15.54 orbits per day.The ISS programme is a joint project among five participating space agencies: NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, and CSA. The ownership and use of the space station is established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements. The station is divided into two sections, the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS) and the United States Orbital Segment (USOS), which is shared by many nations. As of January 2018, the American portion of ISS is being funded until 2025. Roscosmos has endorsed the continued operation of ISS through 2024 but has proposed using elements of the Russian Orbital Segment to construct a new Russian space station called OPSEK.The ISS is the ninth space station to be inhabited by crews, following the Soviet and later Russian Salyut, Almaz, and Mir stations as well as Skylab from the US. The station has been continuously occupied for 18 years and 26 days since the arrival of Expedition 1 on 2 November 2000. This is the longest continuous human presence in low Earth orbit, having surpassed the previous record of 9 years and 357 days held by Mir. It has been visited by astronauts, cosmonauts and space tourists from 17 different nations. After the American Space Shuttle programme ended in 2011, Soyuz rockets became the only provider of transport for astronauts at the ISS.
The station is serviced by a variety of visiting spacecraft: the Russian Soyuz and Progress, the American Dragon and Cygnus, the Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle, and formerly the American Space Shuttle and the European Automated Transfer Vehicle. The Dragon became the only provider of bulk cargo return to Earth (called downmass). Soyuz has very limited downmass capability.
On 28 March 2015, Russian sources announced that Roscosmos and NASA had agreed to collaborate on the development of a replacement for the current ISS. NASA later issued a guarded statement expressing thanks for Russia's interest in future co-operation in space exploration but fell short of confirming the Russian involvement.
