.- Back in the 1960s, some of us were taking drugs, scrambling genders and sampling global religions to shake ourselves loose from what we saw as Western-style binary thinking, a view of the world based on strictly held good-bad, right-wrong opposites: white versus Black, straight versus gay, us versus them. Five decades later, such thinking still rules in a red-blue nation, which makes the retrospective of Lorraine OGradys career at the Brooklyn Museum a major corrective event.

It’s a pretty special one at that. “Everydays” consists of 5,000 unique images, produced every day for 13-and-a-half years.

Offered with the original trucker hat, plaid duffle bag for the car cover, service records, and the owner’s manual, this blast from the not-so-distant past is one of 137,074 units produced that year. Finished in Vibrant Red Clearcoat over white leather-wrapped bucket seats, the ‘Stang exhibits only two flaws at the present moment. In addition to a scratch above the glove box, superficial rust can be seen on the driveline and exhaust components.
Otherwise perfect in every single way, this vehicle is backed up by a Deluxe Marti Report and a squeaky-clean history report. One of 587 convertibles painted in Vibrant Red Clearcoat for the 1994 model year, the open-top pony was kept by the original owner until 2020 according to Cars & Bids.
The Station House Officer at the RK Puram police station, while talking about the same, said that sanitary pads are still taboo but this move will help the female cops. He further said that anyone can come and collect a pad from the police station.
Additional DCP-II New Delhi District said that they have installed 15 sanitary pad dispensers in the female washrooms of the police stations.
Meanwhile, the Additional DCP South West said that such initiatives should be replicated at the other stations also. A female inspector at the RK Puram police station, while expressing her joy about the same, said that they are a total of 30 officers in the police station and that anyone can need a pad at any time. She further said that this is a nice initiative to break the taboo around menstruation.
The work is in the form of a new type of digital asset - a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) - meaning it is authenticated by blockchain, which certifies its originality and ownership.
