General Human Development Report Latvia 1999
The theme of the Latvia Human Development Report 1999 is globalization and human development. The report's goal is to focus the attention of Latvia's society, politicians, mass media, NGOs and businesspeople on the manifestations of globalization in Latvia and its impact on human development. Latvia has recently emerged from a transition period, which began with the renewal of state sovereignty and consisted of the consolidation of a nation state, democracy and a market economy. Now Latvia has become a participant in the equally influential process of globalization. The report analyzes how globalization has manifested itself in Latvia, the risks and opportunities that are linked with it and how the opportunities could be used to achieve the goals of human development. The report also seeks to provide a contribution to the development of Latvia's long-term strategy, which is necessary in order to promote the nation's economic, social and intellectual advancement in the 21st century.

Sony Joins in, Firefox Handset Already in the Works
Sony Joins in, Firefox Handset Already in the Works
Sony isn't just looking to conquer the Android landscape. The Japanese company has officially announced during a joint event between Sony and Spanish carrier Telefonica that it will, together with other Sony carriers, be developing a Firefox handset. Bob Ishida, the company's deputy CEO, has commented that Sony's engineers are "currently working with Firefox OS Mobile and HTML 5 evolving technologies" for an upcoming device.
At this very early stage, there's no word so as to whether the device will be limited to a certain market but seeing that Sony usually takes most of its flagship devices to a global stage, there's hope that it will eventually reach local shores.
Nonetheless, this is great news for the upcoming OS, very shortly after it announced the introduction of two dev Firefox OS smartphones back in late Jan. Even better news - Sony will be one of a growing list of manufacturers, including ZTE, Huawei, Alcatel and LG, to jump on board the Firefox wagon.

- fibre3g
- protein40g
- salt0.54g
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp rice flour (we used Doves Farm)
- 300ml soya milk (we used So Good)
- 4 chicken breasts, skin removed
- 2 red onions, cut into wedges
- 250g punnet cherry tomato, halved
- 250g asparagus spear, blanched
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 150ml vegetable stock (we used Kallo yeast-free vegetable stock)
- 3 tbsp chopped tarragon
A popular and versatile herb, tarragon has an intense flavour that's a unique mix of sweet…
- 4 tbsp gluten-free breadcrumb (we used Sainsbury's 'Free From' English muffins)
- 1 tbsp grated dairy and lactose-free cheese (we used Cheezly)
Mix half the oil and flour in a saucepan (off the heat), then blend in the soya milk (it must be well blended before heating). Bring the sauce slowly to the boil, whisking constantly, then simmer for 1 min. Remove from the heat, cover with greaseproof paper and set aside.
Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat remaining oil in a frying pan, add the chicken, then fry for 2-3 mins or until brown (it won't be cooked through). Transfer to an ovenproof gratin dish. Add the onions to the pan and fry for 2-3 mins. Spoon over the chicken, then top with the tomatoes and asparagus. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.
Put the sugar and vinegar into the pan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is a dark caramel colour, then add the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 1 min. Whisk into the milky sauce until blended, season, then add the tarragon. Spoon sauce over the chicken and veg, sprinkle with crumbs and cheese, then bake for 20 mins or until cooked through.
Recipe Tip
Creamy saucesPeople on special diets often avoid creamy sauces, but it is possible to make a good sauce using a butter substitute (olive oil or Pure), along with rice flour (in place of plain flour) and soya 'milk'. Remember – not all soya milks are wheat-free, so double check.
Recipe Tip
Rice flourWe tested this recipe using gluten-free flour, but found that rice flour blended more readily with the stock. Check your stock doesn't contain wheat or gluten.

Para Site Art Space (Hongkong, China)
RockBund Art Museum Shanghai (Shanghai, China)
EXHIBITION SYNOPSISAbout An Opera for Animals
Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai and Para Site, Hong Kong are pleased to announce the opening of "An Opera for Animals" on June 22, 2019 at Rockbund Art Museum Shanghai. The exhibition runs through to 25 August 2019 and features 53 artists who challenge existing boundaries between art and other disciplines, including artisans, healers, teachers, researchers, filmmakers, choreographers, activists and poets.
"An Opera for Animals" takes the history of different versions of opera as a departure point to explore both contemporary and traditional uses of performance, fantasy, and group spectacles in relationship to the environments that they inhabit. Intimately connected to the making of myths, the fabrication of events, orchestration, and invention of new technologies, opera emerged seeking to synthesize different aesthetic forms into a unified experience audiences could immerse themselves within. Like the complex history of the museum or exhibition, it has gradually developed into another collective kind of ritual. At the height of its development in the West, opera increasingly became conjoined to the vision and forceful influence of colonization, and we re-contemplate the medium as a compromised interface that precipitated struggles with indigenous worlds and other knowledge systems.
Despite the fact that colonization has seemingly ended in many parts of the world, the struggle to preserve indigenous forms of heterogeneity still lives itself out into the contemporary age today. This other world outside of what is considered 'high culture' has always been a source of fear and intrigue for opera, it has long been an inseparable reservoir of imagination for the medium to replenish itself in spite of its outward ambition to reach and supplant it. Beyond the specter of phantoms in opera, animals and cultural narratives around animals reemerge in the exhibition as extensions to infiltrate and expand the specificity of opera as an institutionalized setting to consider the pattern of the relationship between our modernity and the natural world. Our interest lies in how the medium inadvertently mutated into an expanded stage for other more unpredictable transitions between notions of animality and our humanity. The exhibition at the Rockbund Art Museum will unfold throughout the different levels to offer a different operatic environment to explore these inter-related themes.
The exhibition is part of a long-term collaboration between the two institutions and the institutional exchange will see another exhibition at Para Site, Hong Kong in September 2020.
Rockbund Art Museum and Para Site are leading contemporary art institutions in Asia. Para Site plays a central role in nurturing artistic talent whilst also fostering cross cultural dialogue and critical understanding of local and international issues in art and society. Sharing this vision, Rockbund Art Museum aims to bridge the local art ecology in Shanghai with Asia and the wider international community. The collaboration between Rockbund Art Museum and Para Site explores connections between performativity and research, considering both historical and contemporary practices, to further the remit of each organization.
About the curators
Cosmin Costinas is the Executive Director/Curator of Para Site, Hong Kong since 2011 and Artistic Director of Kathmandu Triennale 2020. He was Guest Curator at the Dakar Biennale 2018, La Biennale de l'Art africain contemporain, DAK'ART (2018), Curator of Dhaka Art Summit 18' (2018), Co-curator of the 10th Shanghai Biennale (2014), Curator of BAK-basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht (2008-2011), Co-curator of the 1st Ural Industrial Biennial, Ekaterinburg (2010), and Editor of documenta 12 Magazines, documenta 12, Kassel (2005–2007).
At Para Site, Costinas oversaw the institution's major expansion and relocation to a new home in 2015, and curated the exhibitions: 'An Opera for Animals' (touring to Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai, in 2019); 'A beast, a god, and a line' (touring at Dhaka Art Summit '18, TS1/The Secretariat, Yangon, and Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, 2018); 'Movements at an Exhibition, Manuel Pelmus' (2017-2018); 'Soil and Stones, Souls and Songs' (with Inti Guerrero, touring at MCAD, Manila and Jim Thompson Art Center, Bangkok, 2016-2017); 'A Journal of the Plague Year' (with Inti Guerrero, touring at The Cube, Taipei; Arko Art Center, Seoul; and Kadist Art Foundation and The Lab, San Francisco; 2013-2015).
Hsieh Feng-Rong is senior curator and founding staff member of Rockbund Art Museum; he joined Rockbund Art Museum in 2009 during its preparatory stage. He was the coordinator of the renovation process and implemented the institutional structure of the museum. In 2013, he got involved in founding the first HUGO BOSS ASIA ART award and was also the project manager for the award. With the rise and development of Arts Museum in China, Hsieh is concerned about the changing roles this institute should play and how it can retain its self-criticality. He continues to explore the relationships between arts and the audience and how these relationships can be redefined. Recently, he focuses on topics related to performance as method and has curated a series of talks and events along this line of thinking. Meanwhile, he hopes to inspire more cross-cultural and cross-regional conversations, furthering explorations of mechanism of visuality. Recent exhibitions curated by Hsieh include: "Walking on the Fade out Lines" (co-curated with Larys Frogier, 2018, Shanghai), "Tell Me a Story: Locality and Narrative" (co-curated with Amy Cheng, 2018, Fondazione Sandretto, Turin), "RAM HIGHLIGHT 2018: Is It My Body?" (2018, Shanghai).
Claire Shea is the Deputy Director of Para Site, Hong Kong. While at Para Site, she has curated the major group exhibition 'An Opera for Animals', 2019 (with Cosmin Costinas, touring to Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai in 2019.) She was an Associate Curator for the 8th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennial, 'We have never participated' (2014) at OCT Contemporary Art Terminal, Shenzhen. Shea was previously Curatorial Director for Cass Sculpture Foundation in Goodwood, United Kingdom, (2008-2016) where she oversaw the strategic development of the institution and managed curatorial projects including the commissioning of works. In 2016, Shea curated 'A Beautiful Disorder' which featured new commissions by contemporary artists from Greater China including Cheng Ran, Cui Jie, Li Jinghu, Wang Wei, Xu Zhen (MadeIn Company). In 2012, she curated a major exhibition of Tony Cragg's works on Exhibition Road and at the V&A, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, London for the Cultural Olympiad. Shea has also lent her expertise in outdoor, site-specific projects to non-profit organisations such as Bold Tendencies (2010-2015), an annual project that transforms a disused multi-storey car park in southeast London's Peckham district with visual art, music and literature. She is currently a researcher with the Institute of Public Art, Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts.
Billy Tang is Senior Curator of the Rockbund Art Museum (RAM) in Shanghai. He joined the museum in Spring 2018. His previous projects have helped to introduce moving-image artists to new audiences in Mainland China, commissioning large-scale works of young artists, and curating projects that look to disrupt the architectural function and experience of the exhibition space. Other projects involve curating daily interventions that explore how art appears or is consumed by visitors—most recently at a restaurant in London. He has worked collaboratively with curators and writers to realize exhibitions of works by among others, Wang Bing, Liu Chuang, Lav Diaz, Li Jinghu, Yu Ji, Nabuqi, Yao Qingmei, Song Ta, and Trevor Yeung. In March 2019, he recently co-curated with director Larys Frogier the first institutional solo exhibition in China for the German conceptual artist Tobias Rehberger.

Words on religion, from beyond the grave
by Shaun Chamberlin on June 19th, 2015
I am currently hunkered down working on a project close to my heart, editing my late friend and colleague Dr. David Fleming's incredible life's work Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It, for its publication by Chelsea Green later this year.
I did though hear about the pope's interesting new encyclical. It's well worth a browse (and do check out Rap News' take), but here are a few of my favourite lines:
"The ethical and spiritual roots of environmental problems require that we look for solutions not only in technology but in a change of humanity; otherwise we would be dealing merely with symptoms."
