10 Cases Of Prejudice Within Ethnic Or National Groups
David Tormsen . . . Comments
Racism is a pernicious and recurring problem around the world, the remnant of prehistoric tribalism writ large. It's an issue that will probably stay with us for a while—at least until Mars attacks. Human discrimination knows no bounds, and there are many cases of entrenched prejudice within ethnic and national groups as well.
10 Burakumin
Japan is often considered to be an ethnically homogenous country, but it isn't. Japan is home to the aboriginal Ainu inhabitants of Hokkaido, the Ryukyuans of Okinawa, and the Zainichi from Korea, China, Brazil, and the Philippines. But even within the majority Yamato ethnic group, there is a nearly invisible class of people subject to systematic social exclusion and discrimination.
Buraku and burakumin are terms used to describe areas inhabited primarily by people descended from those at the bottom of the Japanese feudal social ladder: leather workers, executioners, undertakers, butchers, and sewage removalists. They were called eta ("filthy mass") and were social outcasts due to their links with jobs associated with death and corruption. They formed their own communities called buraku, which means "hamlet," and became known as burakumin ("hamlet people"), They were forced to wear distinctive clothing and hairstyles, were restricted from rice farming, and suffered a curfew. They were emancipated four years after the Meiji Revolution in 1868.
Today, they make up 1.5–2 percent of the Japanese population, as many as three million people. They are known as "Japan's invisible race" as they are physically indistinguishable from non-burakumin Japanese but are still widely subjected to discrimination. The problem is barely mentioned in the media or education, but many older companies refuse to employ anyone suspected of coming from a buraku, using background checks to filter out burakumin or use their status as leverage to pay them less or restrict their career.
The majority of the Japanese population are unaware, willfully or not, that the problem exists. Many government agencies prefer to pretend that it doesn't. But online forums like 2ch, where the bounds of civil conduct are stripped away, show that bigotry toward the burakumin is still a concern. Anti-burakumin graffiti and derogatory expressions like eta, hinin, yotsu (meaning "four," as in four legs) and dobutsu ("animal") still cause pain to the buraku community in Japan.
9 Colorism
A recurring problem in African-American society is the issue of black-on-black, color-based prejudice. Historically, there has been a preference for lighter skin among African Americans, which dates back to the time of slavery. Some social theorists explain that the mainstream establishment, almost entirely composed of white people, set the standard for correct behavior and appearance, giving preference to black people with lighter skin tones.
These prejudices were later transferred to the black community, due to the fact that African Americans with lighter skin were more likely to be respected and accepted by white Americans. This prejudice also extended to other physical characteristics like hair texture, eye color, and the contour of a person's mouth and nose.
The situation went the other direction in the 1960s, as black power activists sometimes rejected lighter-skinned black people because of their complexions. However, the patterns remain broadly similar to those from a century ago, if slightly more muted. Research and anecdotal evidence shows that dark-skinned black women are still discriminated against by black men, with one woman in her twenties reporting a potential love interest telling her, "You're pretty smart and you're a lotta fun, but . . . I just can't get too serious with a dark skinned woman. It's important to me to have light skinned children."
White people still play a role in exacerbating the problem, as does society in general, with a large wage gap between lighter- and darker-skinned African Americans. Darker-skinned black high school girls are still more likely to be suspended than their lighter-skinned counterparts.
The white role in all this has traditionally been minimized because studies show white people have a reduced ability to perceive variation in black skin, and some have argued white colorism is less important than the overall bias many white people have against black people in general. But colorism is a pervasive problem in American society, and it is more complex than the traditional black/white divide, with both black and white people guilty of sustaining it.
8 North Koreans In The South
With increasing numbers of North Korean defectors settling in South Korea, the Seoul government has made much effort to help them resettle and adapt to their new society. Often suffering from physical or mental scars, they find it extremely difficult to adapt to the fast-paced and alien society they have come to.
Many jobs require skills, such as English language ability or proficiency with computers, that the vast majority of North Koreans never had a chance to acquire. This is made worse by mistrust, prejudice, and stereotypes about North Koreans held by many in the South. North Korean defectors are often suspected to be spies, and during tensions with the North, indignant South Koreans will take their anger out on them for lack of a better target.
One refugee reported to NK News, "I was supposed to be hired by a shipbuilding company, but when the spy incident came out, I was suddenly considered suspicious and the offer was rescinded." After North Korea attacked and sank the naval vessel Cheonan, one performer in a North Korean dance troupe in the South reported a wave of cancellations and even threatening, anonymous phone calls. Despite having escaped from the vicious regime, they are held accountable for its crimes in the land meant to accept them.
Once, most defectors were people like high-ranking officials or rogue fighter pilots, who were useful as propaganda tools. Since the 1990s, there has been a flood of ordinary North Koreans risking their lives to escape to the South, but they are increasingly seen as a liability, risk, and burden. The two Koreas have diverged so much in terms of economics, politics, language, and social organization over the past 60 years that North Koreans in the South are seen as strangers rather than brothers.
Due to this prejudice, many North Koreans are choosing to migrate abroad either legally or with forged identities, finding it more comfortable or promising on the streets of Los Angeles or London than in Seoul, though it is difficult to be accepted for asylum if they already hold a South Korean passport. Some are finding adjusting to life in South Korea so difficult they are even redefecting back to North Korea.
7 Songbun
For all its faults and flaws as an ideology, communism is considered at its core to be a system of equality. But neo-Stalinist North Korea possesses an active caste system, known as songbun. The songbun system divides people depending on the actions and status of their ancestors during the revolutionary period, and it determines where a person can live, what jobs they can do, and what education they can receive.
There are five castes in the songbun system: special, nucleus, basic, complex, and hostile. The first is rare, and the fourth was only introduced in the 2000s. The nucleus, or core, is the standard, while people under the basic caste suffer mild discrimination. The complex and hostile castes receive extreme prejudice.
Songbun is calculated through ancestry and social status. Ancestry songbun refers to the social position and actions of one's paternal ancestors during the Japanese colonial period and the Korean War. Those whose ancestors fought alongside Kim Il Sung are placed in high castes, while those whose ancestors worked for the Japanese colonial administration or a rival political faction are placed in the lower castes. Social status refers to position in North Korean society, which can reflect favorably on calculations of songbun. Being a member of the party helps to raise one's songbun significantly, as does being "granted an audience," meaning talking to the Leader or being photographed with him.
There are also many ways to be demoted in songbun, and demotions apply to three generations of an individual's family. Committing a crime, inadvertently or deliberately insulting the regime (like using a newspaper with a picture of the Leader on it to clean a spill), and professing Christianity are all instant ways to have one's entire family demoted. In recent years, the power of songbun has started to fade with the rise of black markets and underground capitalism, where money often talks louder than caste.
African-American colorism has a counterpart in Indian colorism, which affects the way Indian people with darker skin are treated as inferior in a systematic and widespread way across all social, economic and, cultural institutions. This is often felt particularly strongly by women, as Indian standards of beauty favor lighter skin. This has led to a massive industry of skin whitening creams and treatments like face cleansers, shower gels, and even vaginal washes. These products are frequently endorsed by sports stars and Bollywood actors. In 2012, Indians consumed 233 tons of such products, spending more on them than on Coca-Cola.
Film star Nandita Das launched the campaign Dark is Beautiful to help combat this trend in society. "Indians are very racist. It's deeply ingrained. But there is so much pressure by peer groups, magazines, billboards, and TV adverts that perpetuate this idea that fair is the ideal," she told The Guardian. She even reported seeing an article in an Indian newspaper expressing support for her campaign, but the photo of her they had used had been retouched to make her appear fairer skinned.
Professor Radhika Parameswaran blames cosmetics companies and their marketing for perpetuating the phenomenon:
One of the prominent messages I found was the idea of transformation. So that women have to be constantly monitoring their body actually to see how the product is changing them. They have to become obsessed with change. They can't be happy with who they are. And this sort of transformation is not permanent, as we know, so you have to keep using the product, because if you don't, you'll become darker and lose out on all these opportunities. So the idea of transformation and change and telling women you can only be happy if you are constantly monitoring your body, which is perpetuating a form of everyday anxiety where you get up in the morning and asking, am I darker today than I was yesterday? Oops, I have to keep using this product . . . so perpetuating that anxiety.
When Indian-American Nina Davuluri was crowned Miss America in 2014, it set off controversy in India. There had been a reprehensible racist backlash against Miss Davuluri by a minority in the United States, but many Indians pointed out she would likely have been too dark to compete for the Miss India title, whose most popular winners have all been universally fair skinned.
5 Classism
British society has long been dominated by its class system, which divides the population into the upper, middle, and working classes. British class status is usually determined by birth, education, occupation, income, housing, lifestyle, and the way one uses the English language. Historically, class identity has played an extremely important role in how British people see themselves and each other. George Bernard Shaw put it succinctly in his 1912 play Pygmalion: "It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate or despise him."
In the 1990s, it was fashionable to declare the class system had been defeated, yet new research has suggested it has merely become more complex. A study by the BBC and academics from six universities determined in 2013 that modern Britain has seven classes: the "precariat" (or precarious proletariat) at the bottom of the heap, "emergent service workers" (who are relatively poor but have higher social and cultural capital), the fading "traditional working class," the young and vibrant "new affluent workers," the well-off but socially and culturally isolated "technical middle class," the "established middle class" (who make up the largest and most influential group), and the wealthy and well-bred "elite" who make up 6 percent of the population.
Some have even argued classism is a worse problem than racism in the United Kingdom, pointing out that poor whites are often much worse off economically and socially than more affluent immigrant groups. This is explained by a cultural tendency to "stay where you are" and "know your station." According to Janet Daley from the Daily Telegraph, "Different classes are brought up to follow different rules about how to think, talk, and behave." This reduces incentive for lower-class Britons to better their lot, as they will be judged as traitors and upstarts.
4 The Osu Of Igboland
The Igbo people are found mostly in the area of southeastern and south-central Nigeria known as Igboland. Most are now Christians, but the influence of traditional Igbo beliefs, with their emphasis on an Earth Mother and Creator God, remain strong. One unfortunate side effect of this tradition can be seen in the plight of the Osu, the untouchables of Nigeria.
In traditional Igbo society, the Osu were known by a variety of names but were generally considered as people sacrificed to the gods. This was likely not a literal sacrifice but rather the lower castes were considered slaves to the Creator God. Their general social role was to assist the high priest in serving the deities or the gods at their shrine. However, they were considered abominable and dehumanized by wider Igbo society.
Members of the dominant Diala class refused to marry Osu or even have anything to do with them for fear that they, too, would be turned into an Osu and be dehumanized. The Osu were generally banished from mainstream society and communal village life. They were never the subject of violence due to their somewhat sacred status—just constant shunning.
Though the power of these old traditions has waned over the last 50 years with increased urbanization breaking down the traditional barriers of the village, they haven't gone away completely. Few Osu will admit to being Osu. Some young people growing up in large cities like Lagos don't even realize they are Osu until they wish to get married and their parents come out in sudden opposition.
One advantage for some Osu has been that they were forced to make their own way by concentrating on a Western education and becoming some of Nigeria's foremost doctors and nurses. However, not everyone was so fortunate. Pastor Cosmos Aneke Chiedozie reported his father raised him as a Christian in an attempt to break the Osu cycle, but Cosmos left the church due to pressure from village elders. His continued social ostracism led him to take up a life of banditry until he was thrown into prison and returned to Christianity. With the continued growth of Pentecostal churches and changes in Nigerian society wrought by urbanization, the Osu class may eventually disappear.
3 Appalachians
People from the Appalachians have been referred to as America's "invisible minority." They are often assumed to be ignorant, backward, and incestuous. Frequent negative stereotypes in the media usually go unchallenged. Much of this is inevitably linked with the Appalachian dialect, which retains elements of Elizabethan English, Scottish, Celtic, and Irish, but is usually perceived as uneducated.
According to a 1994 article, one Appalachian college graduate was filling out forms in a hospital when a nurse noticed her accent and asked, "Do you need help filling those out?" The woman angrily replied, "No, I can read." It seems that the overall perception of Appalachians as hillbillies and rednecks hasn't changed over the last 20 years, either.
Many point to the supposedly higher rates of racism among Appalachian populations as a reason to dismiss them as backward. However, studies in Cincinnati have painted a different picture. Many African Americans live among urban Appalachian communities, and there is no evidence Appalachians are any more or less racist than any other urban group. Survey research has found social characteristics of African Americans and Appalachians are more similar than any other group, and there have been positive relationships formed between black leaders and the Appalachian community. That isn't to say racism doesn't exist among Appalachians, just that it would be no less prevalent than in other white communities in both the North and South.
In 2014, a debate erupted on an academic discussion board when someone complained about a student walking barefoot on campus. One professor replied "If s/he disrespects his or her peers and the college community enough to (un)dress like a hillbilly here, I would say, then s/he should be prepared to be dismissed as one, in whatever pursuits s/he favors, in the preference of someone more attuned to proper decorum and respectful behavior."
This set off a debate as to the use of the word "hillbilly," which is almost inevitably linked to Appalachians, when in fact there was no indication of where the student walking around barefoot actually came from. Some Appalachian studies professors pointed to the ready use of words like "hillbilly" and "redneck" as evidence Appalachians are still considered an acceptable stereotype in American society.
2 Latvian Non-Citizens
In 1990, Latvia won its independence from the collapsing Soviet Union after 50 years of what was technically an illegal occupation under international law. This allowed Latvia to restore its democratic institutions and its body of law, including the 1919 Law on Citizenship, which protected the status and rights of those recognized as Latvian citizens. However, there were around 730,000 people residing in the country who had immigrated during the Soviet period, permanently resided in the country, and were not entitled to Latvian citizenship. They became known as non-citizens.
They are not stateless people. They enjoy the right to permanent residence in Latvia, equal protection under the law, access to social protections like pensions and unemployment benefits, and they may leave and return to Latvia as they wish. However, they are unable to vote and restricted from working in the civil service or in any position related to national security.
The Latvian government has encouraged non-citizens to apply for citizenship. However, many Latvian non-citizens have complained the process for applying for citizenship is highly ideological. The citizenship test requires applicants pass a test of fluency in Latvian and a test of knowledge about the national anthem, Latvian history, and the national constitution.
One non-citizen, Elizabete Krivcova, told EuroViews, "The exam is very ideological. You have to recognise that Latvia was occupied by Russia. The question about Soviet times are only about its dark side. Concerning the economy, it's about industrialisation and forced collectivisation in the agrarian sector. When it's about people life, then it's about repression. A friend of mine explained me how he prepared it. He said, 'I know what I think about the history but for the exam I have to think exactly the contrary to have the correct answers.' "
Another non-citizen who decided to naturalize still wasn't happy: "Passing the exam meant that I recognised that I was an immigrant, even though I'm born in Latvia and I have always lived there. It is not my fault if the geopolitical situation changed. So I did it for my son, to avoid him getting this status as well." The number of non-citizens has now dropped to 280,000, though more of this is due to natural death and emigration to Russia than to naturalization.
1 Intra-Jewish Discrimination
Photo credit: Matt Knight and Zachi Evenor
In 1950, Israel passed the Law of Return, which stated every Jew had the right to immigrate to Israel and receive automatic citizenship and a range of benefits including guaranteed housing, Hebrew language study, and full tuition for graduate degrees. However, controversies have cropped up over who counts as a Jew. Issues of race and differences between the different branches of the Jewish faith have complicated the problem.
Many feel elements of the Ashkenazi group, who largely came from European backgrounds, have historically discriminated against Jews of other backgrounds, particularly Mizrahi Jews from the Middle East, Sephardic Jews from Spain and North Africa, and African Jews. Much of this was due to Ashkenazim feelings of superiority over Mizrahim Jews' Arab cultural roots and their particular form of Judaism, which led to their dismissal and being ridiculed by the economically and socially dominant Ashkenazim. Former Prime Minister David Ben Gurion put it bluntly: "We don't want Israelis to become Arabs."
In late 2014, the Israeli Academy of Sciences and Humanities held a conference called "From hating the stranger to accepting the other," which featured both Jewish and Arab speakers—but neglected to include any Mizrahi speakers. In response, Mizrahi artists, religious leaders, and intellectuals held an alternative conference. The organizer of the latter conference complained, "It's as if Mizrahim, Arabs, Orthodox Jews, and Ethiopian Jews, who constitute three quarters of the population, are all sitting around and waiting to be accepted."
While Mizrahi culture has become more prominent, many have complained that Israeli textbooks are written from a European Jewish point of view, dismissing Middle Eastern Jews as backward and somehow less authentic. Research has shown that Mizrahi are underrepresented in Israeli academia, government, and the judiciary, but they make up 60 percent of Jewish prison inmates.
Ashkenazi prejudice against Mizrahi and Sephardi Jews is seen in both the secular and orthodox segments of the population. First Lady Sara Netanyahu was once quoted as saying, "We are Europeans. We are refined [and] don't eat as much as you Moroccans do."
Meanwhile, in 2010, a ruckus emerged over Ashkenazi Orthodox Jews who wished to segregate a religious school and were willing to defy a court order to do it, despite increasing numbers of Sephardim who have adopted the Orthodox traditions of Eastern Europe in an attempt to be accepted.
Some now argue the onus is on Mizrahim and Sephardim to assert their Arab roots with pride rather than trying to assimilate into the European Ashkenazim culture where a vocal minority objects to their presence entirely. Some say a movement of Arab Jewish pride could even serve as a cultural shift that may help Israel to achieve a future reconciliation with Palestine.

10 Remarkable Discoveries That Came From Ancient DNA


This week's episode of 12 Monkeys titled "Meltdown" takes place almost entirely in the time machine facility. But it is not a slow, talky episode where nothing important happens. At least one event looks to potentially have significant implications.
Before going into the bottle, we start off back in 1959 at an Army base where some soldiers disappear in a way that suggests they splintered in time.
Then it's a jump to 2016 where Cassie as about to return to the temporal facility in 2044. Since what's happening with her was heavily foreshadowed previously (when her eyes turned all black like the Witness') it's obvious she's going back with some company.
In 2044 Doctor Jones has literally let her hair down and is playing cards with Saul Tigh Doctor Eckland. But just when things are heating up the time machine powers up and Cassie returns from 2016. And she sees a figure in a plague doctor's mask.
Meanwhile Ramse and his son Sam are having some quality time. Sam has built a scale model of the facility and provides some exposition that will be useful later in the episode - the time machine and the power core are at opposite ends of the facility (so an explosion at one doesn't destroy the other) and there's a river running under the power core area.
Cassie tells the group about her experience with the hallucinogenic red tea and meeting the Witness. She is met with some scepticism (because of the hallucinogenic tea). Later she follows some noise to the time machine and sees the plague doctor figure (presumably the Witness) doing something with the machine. She passes out and wakes up back in her room. Was it all a hallucination? Thanks to the foreshadowing I was pretty sure what was really going on. She finds Cole in the conference room where they discuss the relationships between them and between Cassie and Deacon.
Jones has her team of scientists check the time stream data for anything unusual. While Cassie keeps seeing the Witness, Jones' team finds a temporal signature showing someone else is tethered to the present time. Then the time machine overloads. The failsafes to shut down aren't working. They pull out the temporal lens array and evacuate the splinter chamber.
"This was no accident," says Jones. The failsafes were intentionally disabled. The lens array was inserted backwards and is now totally fried. The release of temporal radiation (just roll with it) is causing things to splinter in from other times. If unstopped there will be a temporal meltdown (just keep rolling with it) that will destroy the facility and be catastrophic to the time stream. It must be the work of the Witness, who must be the unexplained tether.
Cassie and Cole head to the power core to shut it down manually and prevent the meltdown. Cassie disappears while Cole is dealing with an old splinter test subject.
Cole and Ramse run into each other and head to the core. They see Cassie and Sam together. Cassie takes Sam into the core room and seals the door. The Witness has taken control of Cassie. (Really, were you surprised?) Sam gestures to remind Ramse about the river under the core area. Cole goes down to sneak into the core room.
Deacon and Eckland head to storage for a replacement lens array. They find the array but have to fight their way through some soldiers from 1959 and Eckland is wounded in the leg. The machine has reached the point where replacing the lens will expose whoever does it to fatal levels of temporal radiation. Eckland makes the Kobayashi Maru sacrifice. He fixes the machine and disintegrates.
Deacon joins Ramse outside the core room while Cole is trying to reach Cassia through the Witness' control. Deacon sends Ramse on the river route because he knows Ramse is able to shoot Cassie, something Cole won't be able to bring himself to do.
Cole realizes that Cassie won't be able to watch Cole die so he tells Ramse to shoot him instead of Cassie. Ramse shoots him in the shoulder and Cassie breaks the Witness' control. Ramse shuts down the core. But there is one last burst of temporal radiation that strikes Sam. He disappears.
Ramse is devastated at the loss of his son and leaves the facility.
Cassie blames herself for what happened even though she was under the control of the Witness. Jones has a treatment to purge any residual red tea from her body. Jones also says it's really her own fault, not Cassie's, and she has a solution.
In an unspecified time we see Sam. He is in a forest calling for his father. A gloved hand reaches out to him. Sam takes the hand and walks off with the figure.
What the hell is the significance of Titan and the logo? The show likes to drop clues (remember the mystery phone call in 1944 that we find out was Ramse in the next episode?) so I'm assuming this will mean something later.
Was that the Witness who met Sam in the forest? Or in some timey wimey way does Sam become the Witness? Which might mean that young Sam just met old Sam (the Witness).
Jones mentions in passing the facility was an Army base for sixty years so that suggests she took over the facility around 2020, after the pandemic struck. Syfy's episode synopsis for next week says "Cassie is sent back to 2020 by Jones with one mission: Kill the younger Jones and prevent time travel from ever happening." So again a clue dropped setting up something in the future.

The Outsider canceled after just one season on HBO though producers Media Rights Capital are shopping the show elsewhere
By Brian Gallagher For Dailymail.com
HBO has decided not to move forward with a second season of The Outsider, though the drama series could re-surface elsewhere.
The 10-episode first season debuted on January 12, wrapping up on March 8, though HBO has stayed mum on the show's status until now, according to Deadline.
Media Rights Capital, which produced the series, is said to be shopping the show around to other networks and streaming services.

The show averaged an impressive 11 million viewers per episode across all of the HBO platforms including HBO Go and HBO Now, the largest for a first season since Westworld in 2016.
The show, created by Richard Price, based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Stephen King, followed Holly Gibney (Cynthia Erivo), an unconventional investigator who helps out Detective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn) with a murder case.
Jason Bateman stars as Terry Maitland, the main suspect in the case, with Bateman also serving as executive producer while also directing the first two episodes.

'We enjoyed our collaboration with Richard, Jason, Andrew, and the MRC team, and we wish them well in continuing the world created by the brilliant Stephen King,' an HBO spokesperson said in a statement.
The original pitch for the series included a bible that mapped out a way to continue the story beyond King's novel, which served as the basis for the first season.
Creator Richard Price crafted the story for Season 2 with King's blessing, focusing on Holly, which is said to 'expand King's universe, exploring the human, naturalistic and inexplicable with a sustained pervasive dread you can't put your finger on.'

'We thank HBO for a great partnership in the first season and for helping to bring in a massive audience who fell in love with The Outsider," said MRC Television President Elise Henderson.
'We are looking forward to finding a new home for this remarkable series,' Henderson added.

Abe Partridge, David Childers & Ken Will Morton
Coming Soon to
140 mins | Rated TBC
Abe's 2918 debut, Cotton Fields and Blood For Days, earned him rave reviews, with Tony Paris saying in Bitter Southerner, "He plays guitar the same way he writes lyrics, bashing the strings with abandon until they're just about to come loose, then beautifully picking the notes until every last word falls into place. More to the point, Partridge writes to make you sit up and think. He wants to jar your reality. Sometimes, his lyrics are sly and subtle. Sometimes they come at you with a roar and thunder, as if the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were approaching, and the heavens were opening up to herald a warning."
Since the release of his debut, Partridge has toured relentlessly, including several tours of the Netherlands and the U.K. developing a reputation for moving, passionate, and sometimes comedic, performances at prestigious songwriter festivals and a regular at Nashville's Bluebird Café. He has performed on the syndicated radio programs, Mountain Stage and Woodsongs Olde Time Radio Hour.
Most recently, Partridge and partner Ferrill Gibbs released the "Alabama Astronaut" podcast, where they explore songs previously undocumented at churches in Appalachia. The podcast finds Partridge chatting with Pentecostal preachers and looking into the practice of snake handling. It was in the Top Ten documentary podcasts on iTunes Podcasts within days of the release.
In November of 2022, Partridge released the EP "Alabama Skies" which includes the single "Abe Partridge's 403d Freakout." Partridge told Songfacts the story behind the song: "Abe Partridge's 403d Freakout" was a song I wrote in about 20 minutes. It took me two weeks to make it rhyme, and then it took me about six months to learn it. I just sat and wrote a couple of pages of thoughts as they came to me. It was my attempt at describing my thoughts chronologically as they sometimes occur in my head, before I filter them. It is those thoughts that I often have if I allow myself to mentally wander."
Partridge is now gearing up for an exhibit of his artwork at the Alabama Museum of Contemporary Art in Mobile in beginning January 13, 2023 through May 20, 2023. He will also release his 2nd full-length recording, Love In The Dark, on April 14, 2023.

Two Bishops Accused of Sexually Harassing Adults Are Barred From Priestly Duties
Bishop Michael Bransfield served as the highest-ranking Catholic official in West Virginia until his retirement in September. He was accused of sexual harassment and financial improprieties.
By Liam Stack
The archdiocese of Baltimore said on Monday that it had barred two bishops from performing priestly duties and referred their cases to the Vatican after an internal investigation into allegations that they had sexually harassed adults, including one claim that was dismissed by church investigators a decade ago.
The announcement shined a light on the alleged abuse of adults, an often overlooked corner of the Catholic Church abuse scandal, and drew parallels to the downfall of Theodore E. McCarrick, a former cardinal and archbishop of Washington, who was expelled from the priesthood last month after the church found him guilty of abusing children and adult seminarians.
"When you have a situation like this, usually there is a power imbalance where the victim feels compelled to do what the priest is telling them to do," said David Lorenz, an abuse survivor and local leader in Maryland with the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. "That was the case with Cardinal McCarrick and the seminarians."
One of the men referred to the Vatican, Bishop Michael J. Bransfield, served as the highest-ranking Catholic official in West Virginia until he retired in September. While the investigation into him focused on adults, he was implicated in the sexual abuse of children by a witness in a 2012 trial, according to news media coverage of the trial. He has long denied that claim.
Bishop Gordon Bennett was accused of sexually harassing a "young adult" in Jamaica in 2006.
Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore was named apostolic administrator of Bishop Bransfield's diocese, the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston in West Virginia, and was instructed by the Vatican to investigate the allegations against him, which grew to include claims of financial wrongdoing.
The investigation lasted five months, included five investigators who were not priests, and involved interviews with 40 people, Tim Bishop, a spokesman for the archdiocese, said in an interview. He said the archdiocese would provide no detail about either man's accusers or the nature of any financial impropriety.
"The initial scope of the investigation was sexual harassment of adults, then it turned to talk more about financial improprieties under Bishop Bransfield's leadership of the diocese," Mr. Bishop said. He said in the investigation that "the archbishop would be likened to a prosecutor" and that "the Holy See will be the judge and the jury."
The second man who was barred, Bishop Gordon Bennett, served as an auxiliary bishop in Baltimore from 1998 to 2004, when he was appointed bishop of Mandeville, Jamaica. The archdiocese said it received an allegation that he had sexually harassed a "young adult" in Jamaica in May 2006 and reported it to the Vatican embassy in Washington.
Bishop Bennett, a Jesuit, resigned from his post in Jamaica in August of that year. But church investigators cleared him of the allegation in 2009 and the Congregation for Bishops, in Rome, reinstated him to "limited episcopal ministry subject to oversight," according to a statement from the Jesuits West Province.
It said he then worked for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and ran Jesuit retreats for laypeople for almost a decade. He has not served in public ministry since his case was reopened in August, and he is now undergoing cancer treatment, the province said.
Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore led an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment by two bishops.
Bishop Bennett did not appear on lists of credibly accused priests released in recent months by either the Maryland Province, where he long worked, or the Jesuits West Province in Portland, Ore., to which he was administratively attached.
"That list dealt with men who were credibly accused of sexual abuse of a minor," Tracey Primrose, a spokeswoman for the province, said in an email. "He is accused of sexual harassment of an adult. There's a big distinction there."
Mr. Bishop said the penalties that applied to both men meant they could not act as bishops, could not participate in celebrating Mass and could not perform any of the Catholic sacraments, which include performing baptisms, confirmations and marriages.
He said reports on both men had been sent to the Vatican, which could keep the restrictions put in place by Archbishop Lori, enhance them or take "whatever action they feel is necessary," which could include removing them from the priesthood.
But Mr. Lorenz, the advocate for abuse survivors, criticized the decision by the church to conduct an internal investigation, even one that included a panel of laypeople. He pointed out that church officials had known about allegations against Bishop Bennett for 13 years.
"Here is another case where they are just holding it in, they are doing the investigation themselves and they have held themselves up to be the judge and the jury," Mr. Lorenz said. "On the first accusation they should go to the police and say, 'I, a bishop, am not qualified to run a criminal investigation so you should do it, not me.'"

The Marriage (en anglès, El casament, també estrenada en txec com a Ženitba) és una òpera còmica en dos actes amb música de Bohuslav Martinů i llibret del mateix compositor, basat en l'obra de teatre homònima de Nikolai Gógol. L'òpera va ser un encàrrec de la televisió NBC, i l'NBC Opera Theatre va interpretar l'estrena mundial de l'obra al seu programa de televisió NBC TV Opera Theatre per a una retransmissió nacional als Estats Units el 2 de juliol de 1953. L'òpera ha estat posteriorment adaptada per a l'escenari, i es va estrenar una producció teatral en viu el 31 de març de 1954, a la Staatsoper d'Hamburg, Alemanya, on va ser dirigida per Horst Stein. Una versió revisada de l'òpera es va estrenar al Teatre de Bonn el 21 de setembre de 1989 amb la direcció d'Udo Zimmermann.

Q: Is there a way to implement four tabbed uitableviews that all have the same uinavigationbar I am working on a mobile version for my company's web app. The structure of this application requires uitableviews with a tab bar on the bottom and a navigation bar up top to return to the previous view. As you drill down in the application the tab bar items change at each level allowing selection of different views pertaining to that specific level in the app. I need a way to implement this with a navigation bar on top that navigates back to the previous screen on every tab in said tab bar when a back button is clicked on any of the tabs.
for example: let's say i start out with an items tab and a simple about tab. When i click items it drills down to a new view called subitems and the tabs for this view are subitems, favorites, details, and notes. I want the navigation bar to go back to the previous screen when i click the back button on any one of these four tabs.
Is this at all possible? I can't seem to find anything related to this type of structuring within an app. any help/examples would be greatly appreciated.

A: I know that a negative answer always sounds bad, but I tried to do the same a few months ago and I could not find a way of doing it using the standard UITabBarController/UITabBar. Take also a look at this question/answer.
The good news is that it is not that difficult to implement from scratch a tab bar controller that can be pushed on a navigation stack. There are also several examples around, one is BCTabBarController. GtabBar is another example.

A: I actually found a way to do it you just have to implement the navigation bar's leftbarbuttonitem instead of the traditional back button. Then I just created a method that is invoked when the back button is pushed this updates the navigation stacks of all four views within the tab bar and sets the tab bar items accordingly to match with the previous views we are navigating back to. . . so long story short...it is possible.
