Mammouth méridional (Mammouth de Durfort) - Galerie de Paléontologie
© MNHN - A. Iatzoura
Support the restoration of the Durfort mammoth!
This mammoth fossil is displayed in the Galerie de Paléontologie (Palaeontology Gallery), and is one of the largest known in the world. The Muséum has decided to launch an ambitious restoration project to safeguard this remarkable specimen, which has unfortunately become very fragile over time. Additionally, the Durfort mammoth was mounted in a classical quadruped walking position, but we now know that these animals actually walked at an amble like all elephants, i.e. by moving both feet on the same side simultaneously. This restoration will allow us to exhibit the specimen in a scientifically correct posture. The overall cost of this ambitious project is €400,000.
One of the returns you could expect for your donation, is for you, or someone close to you, to feature on the Durfot mammoth's pedestal in the virtual modelling.
Today, the Muséum needs your help to fund the restoration of this exceptional specimen.

Statue de Buffon par Jean-Marie Carlus, Jardin des Plantes, Paris
Adopt a statue in the Jardin des Plantes!
The Jardin des Plantes is a symbolic place in scientific culture, and features a large range of statues that testify to the close links between the arts and the sciences. The sculptures in the Jardin des Plantes were mostly commissioned by the State, which was seeking to demonstrate its symbolic support for scientific progress. Visitors today can admire several important artworks of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, these have unfortunately been damaged by the passing of time. The twenty-four statues in the garden have various degrees of damage which endangers this exceptional heritage.

Erudus… Provides RSPCA Assured Certification
Erudus isn't just a data platform - it's an enriched data platform, with over 200 specifications for each product. One of these attributes is certifications https://erudus.com/news/you-should-know/erudus-provides-certification, so users can see which industry certifications a product holds. And in this series we explore the range of certifications you can add to an Erudus product specification, and what they mean.
First up was BRCGS, followed by Red Tractor, British Lion and SALSA.
This time the spotlight is on RSPCA Assured…
What is RSPCA Assured?
RSPCA Assured (formerly known as Freedom Food) is a farm assurance and labelling programme devoted solely to animal welfare. It aims to improve the welfare of animals being farmed for food and its logo (found on menus and food products across the UK) confirms that higher welfare ideals and a better quality of life have been achieved. Every aspect of an animal's life is covered under the scheme, from birth and feeding through to water requirements and slaughter. Healthcare and transportation are also examined by the team of assessors who carry out inspections of almost 4,000 hatcheries, hauliers and abattoirs.
Who can join the RSPCA Assured scheme?
Free-range, organic, indoor and outdoor farms can all join the RSPCA Assured scheme and display the logo so long as the programme's strict standards are met. Hauliers and abattoirs can also use the logo if they meet every standard.
Why did RSPCA Assured begin?
RSPCA Assured began after the RSPCA's then Head of Farm Animals and Deputy Chief Vet opened up the conversation of a potential ethical food label. They wanted to give consumers the opportunity to select products from higher welfare farms and support farmers dedicated to providing this.
After conducting surveys to gauge public opinion and speaking to farmers across the country, RSPCA Assured was launched - then known as the Freedom Food brand.
That was back in the 1990's and since then, the scheme has helped thousands of farmers and been adopted by many of the UK's biggest food retailers. In 2015 the Freedom Food scheme rebranded as the recognisable 'RSPCA Assured', by which it is still known today.
What does RSPCA Assured mean?
RSPCA Assured means that products have met the following assurances:
No cages… ever
RSPCA Assured prohibits cages and crates, which seriously restrict farmed animals' movement and prevent them from engaging in their natural behaviours.
Enriched living conditions
Physically and mentally stimulating environments are accessible to all farmed animals, with exact requirements varying from species to species. For instance all poultry must be provided with perches, straw bales and objects to peck at, and pig and other livestock should have access to a sufficient amount of comfortable materials to play in.
Humane slaughter
There are many elements relating to slaughter specifically, but included are careful handling and pre-stunning before slaughter and the prohibition of practicses such as live shackling of conscious birds.
Space to move
RSPCA welfare standards often specify space allowances above legal requirements and ensure animals have enough space to move around and stay active in, as well as free access to food and water.
Responsible antibiotic usage
No routine use of antibiotics is allowed under RSPCA Assurance but animals are required to be given them when it is actually needed during sickness and/or injury.
Fully traceable
RSPCA Assurance calls for products to be fully traceable from the supermarket shelf back to the farm, adhering to the scheme's criteria at every stage.
Who do RSPCA Assured work with?
RSPCA Assured standards are created in collaboration with RSPCA Standards Technical Advisory Groups (these are known as STAGs). There are STAGs for meat chicken (broilers), egg-laying hens, pullets (young hens up to the point they lay eggs), pigs, dairy cattle, beef cattle, turkeys, beef cows, salmon and trout.
STAGs consist of groups of expert professionals working within particular species. This includes vets, farmers, animal welfare scientists, product research scientists and RSPCA field staff. Advice is also sought from a Wider Consultation Group made up of farmers (mostly on the RSPCA Assured scheme) and other relevant industry professionals.
How is RSPCA Assured criteria developed?
RSPCA Assured standards are created from the guidance of their STAGs (Standards Technical Advisory Groups) and input from their Wider Consultation Group (made up of farmers) to ensure they guide the governance of animal welfare in a practical and applicable way.
The standards are regularly updated documents that reflect the changing and evolving needs of the farming industry. Standards are written using the following sources:
Scientific research and species-specific veterinary input.
Practical feedback from RSPCA Assured assessors and RSPCA Farm Livestock Officers
Standards Technical Advisory Groups(STAGs).
RSPCA Assured scheme members from both large and small farms.
The RSPCA's Farm Animal Department (FAD) are responsible for collating this information and translating it into amendments and additions to the established standards document.
Major updates are presented to the RSPCA Council's animal welfare sub-committee for approval. Approved new sets of standards are sent to all (appropriate) RSPCA Assured members once published at least 3 months in advance of any changes that affect them. This can be longer for major changes which may take longer to practically implement.
What makes RSPCA Assured standards different?
RSPCA Assured presents the following examples of what makes their standards different from other assurance schemes:
Farrowing crates: These are prohibited on all RSPCA Assured pig farms (despite still being legal in the UK)
Tail docking: Only on RSPCA Assured pig farms where there is clear evidence of a tail-biting problem and where the farmer has taken steps to try to address the problem in other ways is tail docking allowed.
Environmental enrichment: laying hens, meat chickens, pigs, dairy cows, calves and turkeys must all be supplied with an appropriate amount of species-specific enrichment such as straw and/or objects to engage them during the day.
Dustbathing: Laying hens and meat chickens must be provided with material they can use for dustbathing..
Raised perches: In England and Wales, we exceed legislation by insisting upon raised perches in laying hen houses to provide the birds with a refuge to rest and preen.
Space: laying hens, meat chickens, beef cattle, sheep, turkeys and pigs, in most cases, must be given more space so that they can move around freely.
What is the RSPCA Assured certificate logo?
The RSPCA Assured logo appears only on products that have met the scheme's criteria and come from farms that meet its welfare standards, and is the only way consumers can check that the product is indeed RSPCA Assured.
In addition to meeting the assurances and being a member of the scheme, a company must complete product traceability, levy payment and prior written approval from RSPCA Assured in order to legally display the logo on qualifying products.
The logo itself is yellow, blue and magenta and features chicken, a pig and salmon, representing poultry, (large) livestock and aquaculture respectively.
Guidelines for using it can be found here on the scheme's website.
What do you need to gain RSPCA Assured certification?
Several qualifications must be met in order to achieve RSPCA Assured certification, the first of which is becoming an RSPCA Assured member.

There is also a levy to be paid. The levy reflects the value and recognition of the RSPCA brand, and is used to help run and promote the scheme. You can find out more about the levy here.
A levy return form must also be submitted.
How do you gain RSPCA Assured certification?
In order to gain RSPCA Assurance, you can email them directly at help@rspcaassured.org.uk or call them on 01403 286170 to request an application pack.

During the 22nd week of pregnancy, Beau and Sara Dantin discovered that their baby girl, Isabel, had a brain abnormality. The maternal fetal medical doctor confirmed that little Isabel had spina bifida, a diagnosis the Dantins were not expecting.
"When we found out about the diagnosis, I had no knowledge of it before. I could tell by the doctor's demeanor that it was serious, though," Sara explains about the moment the couple learned the news.
Beau, however, was familiar with the diagnosis, but was surprised and nervous for what was to come. "I knew what spina bifida was, but I had a lot of shock and a lot of fear. Everything seemed normal, and we had no history of any serious medical issues in the family. We didn't know what to think. We were struggling, but we trusted there was a plan for her," Beau shares.
Isabel was diagnosed with Spina Bifida Myelomeningocele, one of the most severe forms of spina bifida in which the backbone and spinal canal do not close before birth. While many families are eligible to repair the defect in utero, the Dantins were not candidates because Sara had an anterior placenta.
On July 26, 2016, Beau and Sara welcomed their first child via C-section, and three days later, Isabel went through surgery to repair her spine. Isabel was later given a brain shunt due to her Chiari Malformation Type 2 diagnosis. The family spent two weeks in the NICU before finally getting the chance to go home. Now nine months old, Isabel is thriving and always smiling.
Isabel meets with Jill, her physical therapist, once a week at the Dantins' home. "Jill works with her on her mobility, speech, and eating, and monitors other developmental concerns. She gives Isabel exercises and stretches to do, and she makes it fun for her. Jill has really normalized this for all of us," Sara explains.
While the Dantins have "seasons of good and seasons of struggle," the family has remained positive, crediting Isabel and their faith in helping them get through the hard times.
Doctors cannot provide an accurate picture of abilities or quality of life since spina bifida is considered a snowflake diagnosis, meaning the severity and impact of each person's diagnosis is different, but the Dantins remain positive. They continue to encourage families who may be experiencing similar situations to find a doctor they are comfortable with, to not be afraid to ask questions, to not plan for the worst, and most importantly, to not let the disability define your child.
We have been praying for Isabel and the Dantins from the first diagnosis in the womb. This family is amazing and have always trusted God for Isabel's healing. This article gives hope to others who may be going thru similar trials. Thanks for spotlighting this amazing story that is so inspiring. Isabel is such a beautiful child!


Drug addiction is defined as a disease by almost all medical professionals and medical associations, including the American Medical Association, but unfortunately in the eyes of the law, it's treated as a crime instead of a public health crisis.
In Oklahoma, however, there is some relief through the courts if you have been convicted of certain drug charges. It's called drug court, and here's how it works for people who have been caught with heroin or other kinds of dope.
The treatment program is "highly structured" with well-defined treatment goals.
Abstinence from drugs is monitored through frequent alcohol and drug testing.
The program starts with high incentives for succeeding in the program.
Jailing participants who test positive for dope or alcohol isn't the standard punishment in drug court. Usually, drug courts use less harsh penalties first before sending an offender to jail, unless the participant poses an immediate risk to public safety.
Oklahoma has seen much success with its drug court programs. According to the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse services, drug court is available in 73 out of 77 counties in the state.
It costs, on average, $19,000 a year to incarcerate someone in Oklahoma.
The average cost the state incurs for drug court participants is $5,000 a year.
Drug court graduates have much lower recidivism rates than non drug court offenders.
Drug court graduates have a re-arrest rate of 23.5 percent, as compared to the 38.2 percent re-arrest rate for offenders who complete standard probation and the 54.3 percent re-arrest rate for those who are simply released from prison.
Drug court's success in Oklahoma has also led to the development of other diversionary programs, including juvenile drug courts, family courts and mental health courts.
How have changes in Oklahoma's drug laws affected drug court?
Oklahoma has been steadily enacting criminal justice reform legislation over the past few years to decrease the state's prison population. One of those reforms includes reclassifying drug possession crimes to misdemeanors instead of felonies in hopes that users don't end up serving lengthy prison terms for drug possession.
But what Oklahoma lawmakers didn't factor in is that drug court is only an option for felony drug charges. Under the new law, about a fourth of all people charged with drug felonies over the past few years would have misdemeanor charges instead. This makes them ineligible for Oklahoma drug court and has officials examining the program and how it can be restructured to help misdemeanor offenders.
Drug court is just one option when you are facing charges for heroin, marijuana or other drugs. You need the help of an experienced criminal defense attorney to work on your behalf. Contact Jacqui Ford's office today for a consultation.

Staying fit is important in the lives of many people. It may be a little difficult to learn about fitness, however, because some resources don't give you good information. The following article will provide the proper techniques to help you in reaching your fitness goal.
Starting a garden is an unorthodox, yet great way to get some exercise. It can be surprising to most people how much work is actually involved in gardening. You will have to squat a lot, dig, pull weeds and carry heavy things. Gardening is only one hobby you can take up to stay in shape.
Limit your weight lifting time to one hour. Muscles start to become very fatigued after an intense workout that lasts longer than an hour. Once 60 minutes has passed, put the weights down and give your body a break.
A few different exercises are recommended if you want to spice up a workout routine. As odd as it sounds, this will help you avoid starting a routine in your routine; thus keeping things fresh and lively, always coming back for more. Furthermore, as the muscle groups get used to certain types of movements, you need to make changes to keep seeing results.
Goals are very important when you are developing a strength training routine. If larger, more powerful muscles are desired, you need to strength train less frequently. However, those aiming to be lean, mean, and defined will more frequently stress the muscles in a strength training session.
Cycling can be an intensive fat burner. Try to pace yourself with 80 to 100 rpm. There are digital computers you can attach to your bicycle to keep track of your rpm and mileage. By doing this you put less strain of your knees so you will be able to ride further and faster. This can be determined by simply counting how many times your right leg goes up every ten seconds, and multiplying that number by six. If your RPM is too low or high, adjust it.
Prior to working out on a bench, get to know the padding thickness by pushing into it firmly with your fingers. If the wood can be felt under the padding, choose a machine that has more padding. Insufficient padding on a machine that you use to work out can cause bruising due to a lack of adequate support.
m. schedule. Have a pre-exercise routine where you wake up a few minutes early in order to get in some light cardio and stretching so your body is warmed up. This helps you get a better start to your day and it helps you build better habits that can be implement in the future.
A good workout is kickboxing. Kickboxing is a pretty physical sport, but it really gives you a good workout. A kickboxing routine will not only help you burn off a ton of calories, it will also be very effective at increasing your strength.
If you really want to follow through with specific fitness objectives, a good idea to is to prepay a personal trainer in advance prior to starting work with them. That way, you're more likely to actually attend your training sessions. The reason for this is because you will waste your money by not completing them. You definitely will not want to lose out on all that money, so most likely you will show up at the training sessions.


Beer is a must-have for every party. It makes the conversation funner and, no pun intended, warmer. Every country has its particular brand and taste of beer and has a distinct culture of how, when, and where to drink it. Therefore, beer bottle labels carry the brunt of the weight when it comes to marketing.
Here are some top-quality beer bottle label designs that are not only eye-catching and elegant but will surely represent the brand and taste of your beer effectively.
Choose appetizing, eye-catching colors. Even better is, when the bottle itself brings out the color. Reds, yellows, and violets are a favorite. Colors are also sometimes used to advertise the flavor (if you're into flavored beer): yellow for lemon, red for apple, etc.
Style the neck as well. Bottles that are accentuated with neck designs look more elegant than with body labels alone. The neck design can carry the logo of your company, the name of the beer, or the flavor of the beer.
Use readable and stylish fonts for the text that goes into the label. We have exhaustive lists of fonts of every design and style to help you with this step.
Add a tagline. Beer drinkers are usually people with good sense of humor and rhetoric, so you'll want to attract them with a good, funny, or witty tagline.
The beer label designs we have compiled for you are all made by professional graphic designers, so some of them can be downloaded for a cost. They come in various formats (including PSD) and can be customized using an image-editing software such as Photoshop or Canvas.
Browse the list for the design that best meets your expectations. The list has designs suitable for the brand you wish to market. If you're targeting high-end beer drinkers, the design with the wine-colored template is a good idea. (We also have wine label designs in stock).
Open the file with the appropriate tagged editing software.
Customize the design according to your preference. Some templates come with wonderful color options and stylistic alternatives in font styles and images.
If you don't know how to work with an image editing software, it is best to consult a professional graphic artist. You don't want your beer to look like a high school art project.
That's it! Your bottle is now a worthy vessel to hold the beer that many may consider the life of the party.

Las elecciones regionales de Umbría de 2019 tuvieron lugar el 27 de octubre de 2019. La elección fue para los 20 miembros de la Asamblea Legislativa de Umbría, así como para el Presidente de la Región, quien también es miembro de la Asamblea.

Sistema electoral
El candidato que obtiene una pluralidad de votos a nivel regional es elegido presidente de Umbría y la coalición ganadora recibe el 60% de los escaños en la Asamblea Legislativa, es decir, 12 escaños, excluyendo el escaño reservado al presidente. Todos los demás candidatos a la presidencia que no hayan sido electos pero que estén vinculados a listas o coaliciones que hayan elegido al menos un concejal son automáticamente elegidos para la Asamblea Legislativa.

La asignación de escaños por coaliciones y listas se realiza de forma proporcional utilizando un método del resto mayor con listas abiertas, con un umbral del 2,5% para todas las listas y con un límite máximo de 10 escaños obtenibles para una sola lista.

Cada candidato a presidente no puede gastar más de €100.000, cada candidato a consejero regional no puede gastar más de €25.000  y cada lista no puede gastar más de €1  multiplicado por el número de habitantes de la Región.

Antecedentes
En abril de 2019, el secretario regional del Partido Democrático, Gianpiero Bocci y el consejero regional de salud, Luca Barberini, junto con Emilio Duca y Maurizio Valorosi, gerente general y director administrativo del hospital de Perugia, fueron arrestados luego de una investigación sobre concursos de reclutamiento en 2018 cuando Bocci fue subsecretario del Ministerio del Interior. Se comprometieron a comparecer ante un juicio por cargos de abuso de cargo, revelación del secreto oficial, ayuda y falsificación de ideología y material, por haber comunicado a algunos candidatos recomendados las preguntas que habrían estado presentes en los concursos de reclutamiento. Catiuscia Marini, presidenta de la región de Umbría, fue condenada a juicio por cargos de ideología y material falsos, abuso de poder y divulgación de secretos oficiales. Se investigó a un total de 35 personas.

Tanto Matteo Salvini como Luigi Di Maio exigieron la renuncia de la presidenta y solicitaron elecciones anticipadas, organizando manifestaciones en Perugia inmediatamente después de los arrestos, mientras que el nuevo secretario del Partido Democrático, Nicola Zingaretti, dijo que los fiscales deben determinar las responsabilidades por el delito cometido por los sospechosos. Posteriormente, Carlo Calenda, miembro del Partido Democrático, solicitó su renuncia, mientras que el secretario Zingaretti dijo que "debe hacer lo que sea mejor para Umbría", visto por los periódicos como una invitación a renunciar. La presidenta Catiuscia Marini anunció inicialmente que renunciaría, pero un mes después votó una moción en la Asamblea Legislativa que le pedía que no renunciara, provocando mucha polémica en el partido, y finalmente, renunció oficialmente, dejando el cargo a su vicepresidente Fabio Paparelli.

Candidatos

Centroizquierda
El Partido Democrático, tras el escándalo en la Región, decidió que quería apoyar a un candidato independiente. Entre las listas cívicas con las que colaboraron inicialmente para redactar el programa, estaba el Movimiento de las Ideas y la Ley, impulsado por el presidente de la  Umbría Andrea Fora y el profesor de la Universidad de Perugia Luca Ferrucci, Mario Stirati, alcalde de Gubbio, y finalmente Umbría de los Territorios de Stefania Proietti, alcaldesa de Asís y el concejal de Todi Floriano Pizzichini. Andrea Fora finalmente decidió formalizar su disponibilidad como candidato a la presidencia por la coalición de centroizquierda, apoyada por el cardenal Bassetti, el Partido Democrático y otras listas menores como DemoS, creando algo de descontento en las otras listas por su auto-candidatura, eligiendo postularse como una nueva coalición llamada Verde Cívico y Umbría Social, a la que se unen Umbría de los Territorios, el Partido Socialista Italiano, el Movimiento de las Ideas y la Ley, Europa Verde y La Otra Umbría, una lista promovida por la Refundación Comunista y la Izquierda Italiana. Los posibles candidatos a la presidencia de la coalición alternativa fueron Luciano Bacchetta, presidente de la provincia de Terni, Marco Sciorini, coordinador de Terni de Umbría de los Territorios, y Floriano Pizzichini.

Finalmente, tras el "pacto cívico" con el Movimiento 5 Estrellas. Se eligió como candidato al empresario Vincenzo Bianconi, luego apoyado por la coalición alternativa presentando dentro del centroizquierda la lista "Izquierda Cívica y Verde".

Centroderecha
Como sucedió en las últimas elecciones regionales del Piamonte, la centroderecha durante meses no encontró un acuerdo sobre el candidato a presidente. Matteo Salvini, por la Liga, inmediatamente después del escándalo de salud, propuso para la presidencia a Donatella Tesei, senadora de la Liga y exalcaldesa de Montefalco, también apoyada por el nuevo partido Cambiamo! de Giovanni Toti, mientras que Hermanos de Italia insistió en el nombre de Marco Squarta, líder de grupo del partido en el consejo regional de Umbría. Una tercera candidatura, Andrea Romiti, alcaldesa de Perugia, fue presentada por el exasesor de Perugia Francesco Calabrese, promocionando la lista Proyecto Umbria, pero fue inmediatamente rechazada por los tres partidos, precisando que no habría más de cuatro listas de apoyo al candidato a presidente. A principios de septiembre, tanto Forza Italia como FdI apoyaron la candidatura de Tesei, pero ambos partidos querían un vicepresidente propio (Marco Squarta para FdI, Roberto Morroni para FI). Otro problema fue el veto de FI a la lista de Cambiamo! en la coalición, pero Matteo Salvini pidió la unidad de centroderecha, dejando la decisión a Tesei.

Movimiento 5 Estrellas
El Movimiento 5 Estrellas no realizó las primarias en línea para la elección del candidato presidencial. En julio, el ex candidato a la presidencia de la región de Umbría en las elecciones anteriores y consejero regional saliente de Umbría, Andrea Liberati, anunció que no se presentará como candidato presidencial por el M5S. Los candidatos a la presidencia de la región de Umbría por el M5S fueron la ex eurodiputada Laura Agea, de Città di Castello, el médico Gino Di Manici Proietti, candidato a las elecciones generales de 2018 en la circunscripción uninominal de Umbría - 02 y el la consejera regional saliente Maria Grazia Carbonari. Esta última anunció oficialmente su disponibilidad para el cargo. Finalmente, las primarias en línea tuvieron lugar el 19 de septiembre, pero los miembros votaron solo por los candidatos de la lista y no por los candidatos a la presidencia.

En los días de la formación del nuevo gobierno entre el PD y el M5S, tanto el comisionado del PD en Umbría Walter Verini como el candidato independiente de centroizquierda Andrea Fora mostraron interés en una alianza electoral entre el PD y el M5S en las elecciones regionales de Umbría, pero algunos diputados umbros del M5S respondieron que una alianza electoral entre el PD y el M5S sería "prematura". Finalmente, después del nuevo Gobierno Conte, Dario Franceschini y el secretario del PD Nicola Zingaretti propusieron una alianza con el M5S, pero Luigi Di Maio inicialmente se negó, pero finalmente propuso un "pacto cívico" para Umbría, eligiendo un presidente independiente como candidato y también asesores regionales independientes. La propuesta fue bienvenida tanto por la coalición liderada por el Partido Democrático y la coalición de la izquierda cívica. Los posibles candidatos fueron el empresario y estilista Brunello Cucinelli, quien se negó, y la CEO de Novamont, Catia Bastioli. Mientras tanto, el Movimiento 5 Estrellas pidió otra votación el 20 de septiembre en su plataforma en línea para decidir si participa en el "pacto cívico" propuesto por el propio Di Maio. Finalmente el M5S decidió participar en el "pacto cívico" y se eligió como candidato de la coalición al empresario Vincenzo Bianconi, definido por Di Maio como "un símbolo de toda Umbría, de una comunidad que fue trágica y repetidamente herida por los terremotos de 2016 pero que no se dejó llevar por la desesperación y de inmediato puso manos a la obra".

Otras listas
Entre los demás candidatos, Claudio Ricci, ex candidato a la presidencia del centroderecha en las elecciones regionales de 2015 y consejero regional saliente de Umbría, anunció su candidatura como candidato independiente con tres listas cívicas, mientras el Partido Comunista anunciaba la candidatura del exmiembro del sindicato CGIL Rossano Rubicondi, Poder al Pueblo anunció que se postularía con su propio candidato presidencial, Emiliano Camuzzi,
un sindicalista, y finalmente el exgeneral Antonio Pappalardo declaró que se postulará para los Chalecos Naranjas, inspirado en el movimiento de los chalecos amarillos en Francia.

Howdy ladies and gents! I have recently discovered a one year old Argyreia nervosa on my friends property that has not yet gone to seed. I was curious if there is a method that can be used to induce or speed up the production of seeds on the plant in sub tropical conditions. It is currently in the ground in great organic soil and is about three meters tall and covering a large section of fence. It is in great health and growing by the day, but still no flowers or seeds for over a year! Does it need more time to mature? Thanks in advance.
Giveaway! Free Cuttings and Seeds!
That went well! I'll get them all posted off on Monday so they don't spend the weekend in the post. I hope they all go well for everyone!

THE MAKHNOVTCHINA
extract from "Anarchism: From Theory to Practice"
It had been relatively easy to liquidate the small, weak nuclei of anarchists in the cities, but things were different in the Ukraine, where the peasant Nestor Makhno had built up a strong rural anarchist organization, both economic and military. Makhno was born of poor Ukrainian peasants and was twenty years old in 1919. As a child, he had seen the 1905 Revolution and later became an anarchist. The Tsarist regime sentenced him to death, commuted to eight years' imprisonment, which was spent, more often than not in irons, in Butyrki prison, the only school he was ever to attend. He filled at least some of the gaps in his education with the help of a fellow-prisoner, Peter Archinov.
Immediately after the October Revolution, Makhno took the initiative in organizing masses of peasants into an autonomous region, a roughly circular area 480 by 400 miles, with seven million inhabitants. Its southern end reached the Sea of Azov at the port of Berdyansk, and it was centered in Gulyai-Polye, a large town of 20,000 to 30,000 people. This was a traditionally rebellious region which had seen violent disturbances in 1905.
The story began when the German and Austrian armies of occupation imposed a right-wing regime which hastened to return to their former owners the lands which had been seized by revolutionary peasants. The land workers put up an armed defense of their new conquests. They resisted reaction but also the untimely intrusion of Bolshevik commissars, and their excessive levies. This vast jacquerie [1] was inspired by a "lover of justice," a sort of anarchist Robin Hood called "Father" Makhno by the peasants. His first feat of arms was the capture of Gulyai-Polye in mid-September 1918. The armistice of November 11, however, led to the withdrawal of the Austro-German occupation forces, and gave Makhno a unique opportunity to build up reserves of arms and supplies.
For the first time in history, the principles of libertarian communism were applied in the liberated Ukraine, and self-management was put into force as far as possible in the circumstances of the civil war. Peasants united in "communes" or "free-work soviets," and communally tilled the land for which they had fought with the former owners. These groups respected the principles of equality and fraternity. Each man, woman, or child had to work in proportion to his or her strength, and comrades elected to temporary managerial functions subsequently returned to their regular work alongside the other members of the communes.
Each soviet was simply the executive of the will of the peasants in the locality from which it had been elected. Production units were federated into districts, and districts into regions. The soviets were integrated into a general economic system based on social equality; they were to be independent of any political party. No politician was to dictate his will to them under cover of soviet power. Members had to be authentic workers at the service of the laboring masses.
When the Makhnovist partisans moved into an area they put up posters reading: "The freedom of the workers and peasants is their own, and not subject to any restriction. It is up to the workers and peasants themselves to act, to organize themselves, to agree among themselves in all aspects of their lives, as they themselves see fit and desire …. The Makhnovists can do no more than give aid and counsel …. In no circumstances can they, nor do they wish to, govern."
When, in 1920, Makhno's men were brought to negotiate with the Bolsheviks, they did so as their equals, and concluded an ephemeral agreement with them, to which they insisted that the following appendix be added: "In the area where the Makhnovist army is operating the worker and peasant population shall create its own free institutions for economic and political self-administration; these institutions shall be autonomous and linked federally by agreements with the governing organs of the Soviet Republics." The Bolshevik negotiators were staggered and separated the appendix from the agreement in order to refer it to Moscow where of course, it was, considered "absolutely inadmissible."
One of the relative weaknesses of the Makhnovist movement was its lack of libertarian intellectuals, but it did receive some intermittent aid from outside. This came first from Kharkov and Kursk where the anarchists, inspired by Voline, had in 1918 formed a union called Nabat (the tocsin). In 1919 they held a congress at which they declared themselves "categorically and definitely opposed to any form of participation in the soviets, which have become purely political bodies, organized on an authoritarian, centralized, statist basis." The Bolshevik government regarded this statement as a declaration of war and the Nabat was forced to give up all its activities. Later, in July, Voline got through to Makhno's headquarters and joined with Peter Archinoff to take charge of the cultural and educational side of the movement. He presided at the congress held in October at Alexandrovsk, where the "General Theses" setting out the doctrine of the "free soviets" were adopted.
Peasant and partisan delegates took part in these congresses. In fact, the civil organization was an extension of a peasant army of insurrection, practicing guerrilla tactics. This army was remarkably mobile, covering as much as 160 miles in a day, thanks not only to its cavalry but also to its infantry, which traveled in light horse-drawn carts with springs. This army was organized on a specifically libertarian, voluntary basis. The elective principle was applied at all levels and discipline freely agreed to: the rules of the latter were drawn up by commissions of partisans, then validated by general assemblies, and were strictly observed by all.
Makhno's franc-tireurs gave the White armies of intervention plenty of trouble. The units of Bolshevik Red Guards, for their part, were not very effective. They fought only along the railways and never went far from their armored trains, to which they withdrew at the first reverse, sometimes without taking on board all their own combatants. This did not give much confidence to the peasants who were short of arms and isolated in their villages and so would have been at the mercy of the counter-revolutionaries. Archinov, the historian of the Makhnovtchina, wrote that "the honor of destroying Denikin's counter-revolution in the autumn of 1919 is principally due to the anarchist insurgents."
But after the units of Red Guards had been absorbed into the Red Army, Makhno persisted in refusing to place his army under the supreme command of the Red Army chief, Trotsky. That great revolutionary therefore believed it necessary to turn upon the insurrectionary movement. On June 4, 1919, he drafted an order banning the forthcoming Makhnovist congress, accusing them of standing out against Soviet power in the Ukraine. He characterized participation in the congress as an act of "high treason" and called for the arrest of the delegates. He refused to give arms to Makhno's partisans, failing in his duty of assisting them, and subsequently accused them of "betrayal" and of allowing themselves to be beaten by the White troupe. The same procedure was followed eighteen years later by the Spanish Stalinists against the anarchist brigades.
The two armies, however, came to an agreement again, on two occasions, when the extreme danger caused by the intervention required them to act together. This occurred first in March 1919, against Denikin, the second during the summer and autumn of 1920, before the menace of the White forces of Wrangel which were finally destroyed by Makhno. But as soon as the supreme danger was past the Red Army returned to military operations against the partisans of Makhno, who returned blow for blow.
At the end of November 1920 those in power went so far as to prepare an ambush. The Bolsheviks invited the officers of the Crimean Makhnovist army to take part in a military council. There they were immediately arrested by the Cheka, the political police, and shot while their partisans were disarmed. At the same time a regular offensive was launched against Gulyai-Polye. The increasingly unequal struggle between libertarians and authoritarians continued for another nine months. In the end, however, overcome by more numerous and better equipped forces, Makhno had to give up the struggle. He managed to take refuge in Romania in August 1921, and later reached Paris, where he died much later of disease and poverty. This was the end of the epic story of the Makhnovtchina. According to Peter Archinov, it was the prototype of an independent movement of the working masses and hence a source of future inspiration for the workers of the world.

It is our pleasure to introduce you to a selection of the special guests gracing us at Campfire Sessions, Illaroo.
An important element of our events is our work directly with local community and organisations. Showcasing passion, knowledge and expertise from the neighbourhood, alongside national and international appearances. We are grateful to have the support of the Yuraygir locals. Looking forward to exploring this fascinating region during March 2 - 4. Don't forget to say g'day when you see these familiar faces at the event!
Both Ron and Carmel are authors of the "Yaegl Medicinal and Plant Resources Handbook" (published by McMillan), and work with the Indigenous Bio-resources Research Group, Macquarie University, Sydney.
Don't miss Uncle Ron's Welcome to Country ceremony from 10am, Saturday morning at Campfire Sessions, Illaroo.
Aunty Carmel Charlton is a senior Yaegl elder who grew up the Yamba area. Both her and Ron are local experts in Yaegl bush foods and medicinal plants, and jointly run the Maclean High School "River of Learning" program, where this knowledge is passed on to students. Aunty Carmel was also one of the Yaegl elders who started their famous Native Title application, with a land grant in 2015, and more recently, with a sea rights grant for 90 km of coast between Woody Head and Wooli, and 200 m out to sea. This means that the Yaegl have unrestricted non-commercial fishing rights in this area, the first successful Native Title claim to coast in NSW.
Ron and Carmel are also authors of several scientific articles on the subject, and support the NISEP (National Indigenous Science Experience Program) with Macquarie University during National Science week in Sydney.

Scribner's Magazine, 8 (August 1890), 240, without stanza 4, from the copy to Susan Dickinson ([E]). Lavinia Dickinson protested this publication, and Mabel Todd pointed out that "sail" in line 7 was a misreading for "soul" (Bingham, AB, 59, 149n). With the permission of Scribner's the poem was included in Poems (1890), 58-59, but the text itself derived from the fascicle (C), with the first word of the last line concluding the penultimate one; all the alternatives had been adopted (in accord with ed's revisions), "revelations" adopted as the revision for line 4, and stanza 4 restored. Although a facsimile of the retained copy (B) was included in Poems (1891) to verify the correctness of "soul" in line 7, the text in CP (1924), 152-53, reverted to "sail," based upon the annotation in Susan's copy of Poems (1890). Poems (1955), 249-53 (A, B as lost, C, D principal, [E] conjectured); CP (1960), 152-53 (D). Letters (1958), 390 (A). MB (1981), 275-77 (C), in facsimile. (J322). Franklin Variorum 1998 (F325C).
At "Supper of the Lamb."
soul sail One must take "sail" to have been her misreadingvarying from "soul" in all three holographs. Susan made this mistake twice, once in preparing the poem for Scribner's, once in annotating her copy of Poems (1890). The most reliable rendering of the text in her lost manuscript is that of another holograph, the one ed sent to Higginson, identical in all other substantives, though varying in formbut not more so than Scribner's itself.
Five (one in part, one lost), variant, about 1862. The earliest holograph extant is a version of the final stanza, adapted to express sympathy at the death of Elizabeth Dwight, wife of ed's former pastor, the Reverend Edward S. Dwight. It concluded a letter sent to him about early January 1862 (a 22).
Another copy of the poem, made about early 1862, is in Fascicle 13 (h128), with alternatives for four lines. It also shows decisions and revisions from a much later time.


Requirements for a Master of Arts in Communication Arts: The Master of Communication Arts degree requires a minimum of 36 hours of graduate study, which includes 12 hours of Communication Arts core courses; 18+ hours of elective coursework and 3-6 hours of Mastery level coursework.
Core requirements should be taken in sequential order with the COMM 63CS1 or the COMM 63TR requirement taken at the completion of course work. This sequence ensures students will master the theoretical skills necessary for a progression of knowledge in the field.

Nerman Museum Names JoAnne Northrup as New Executive Director and Chief Curator
by Anne Kniggendorf July 2, 2021 September 15, 2021
The Seasoned National Curator Has Been a Big Fan for 10 Years – Now She's in Charge
On Aug. 2, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art will have a new executive director and chief curator for the first time in three decades. JoAnne Northrup joins the museum from the Nevada Museum of Art, where she founded the contemporary art program in 2012.
"I really want people to know that I consider the Nerman to be this incredible diamond. All we're doing is replacing the setting, but the diamond is intact," Northrup said.
Bruce Hartman led the museum from 1990, when it was the Gallery of Art within the Cultural Education Center of Johnson County Community College, through the completion of the Nerman in 2007, and until his retirement in December of 2020. He oversaw the acquisition of nearly 2,000 pieces.
Hartman and Northrup met in 2011 when the Leo Villareal touring exhibition Northrup curated and authored came to the Nerman.
Northrup said she remembers being blown away by the architecture and the sophistication of the space — even the beautiful dinner the museum hosted.
From that time on, she's tracked everything that happens at the Nerman.
"What has caught my attention since then is that there have been these exhibitions that I feel really show that Bruce has his finger on the pulse," Northrup said. "And I never thought there would be a vacancy."
By "finger on the pulse," she means Hartman's talent for, and dedication to, supporting regional and national artists early in their careers — artists like Kerry James Marshall, who did a solo exhibition at the college in 1995.
Marshall's piece in the Nerman's permanent collection has recently been appraised at $25 million, but Hartman acquired "Untitled (Altgeld Gardens)" long before it could command such a price.
Furthermore, of the works he's collected, 33% are by women artists, according to a study at the University of Missouri-Kansas City; at other area museums, only 1 to 2% of their collection is by women. Hartman has also taken great care from the earliest days of his tenure to collect works by Latinx, African American, and Native American artists.
He's also collected Native American art for more than 50 years, an interest dating back to his childhood in Lee's Summit. His parents were collectors of Native American art, and he travelled with them looking for new pieces.
One of his first projects after retirement is working with The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art to curate a show of the Native American paintings in his personal collection.
Hartman said, "One of our concerns was that it would be very difficult to find somebody that had much knowledge of contemporary Native American artists. We have 200 to 300 works by Native artists; we were pleasantly surprised when (Northrup) had demonstrated a great interest in that work."
Northrup said that in her positions at nine other museums over 30 years, she adapted to the priorities of the region; the Nerman will be no different. For instance, during her time at a museum in Silicon Valley, she saw a need to integrate digital media into the contemporary art program.
"I'm really excited to explore the regional artists and get to know people, then sort of have a lovely mix of both regional artists, national artists and international artists," she said. "Honestly, to follow in the footsteps of Bruce Hartman will be a big challenge, because he's a phenomenal curator."
She said she's looking forward to elevating the work of underrepresented artists, presenting groundbreaking traveling exhibitions, and forging partnerships locally and outside the region.
Kate Allen, Johnson County Community College's vice president for advancement and chair of the hiring committee that selected Northrup, said, "Attracting a candidate of this caliber speaks volumes of the arts community in our region."
Northrup said she and her husband, assemblage artist Philo Northrup, are excited for their move to Kansas City.
The first exhibition that Northrup will curate during her tenure will be a Charlotte Street Foundation show that was scheduled to have taken place in 2020, according to Hartman.
"The idea of coming to Kansas City, which has this robust art scene," Northrup said, "artist studios and galleries, people involved with art from all different levels, a body of collectors that are world class: the Oppenheimers, the Nermans, the Halls . . . that's something that a lot of places in the country don't have. To me, I think Kansas City has a huge amount of attraction for people who are truly immersed in art."

Joseph Nease says:
Congratulations JoAnn Northrup. Best wishes to you for success in inheriting this great program and collection at the Nerman and JCCC. I look forward to my next visit.
Opal Essence says:
I am pretty sure you were involved with that show at the San Jose Art Museum about 20 years ago and it was a group of Burningman artists. The show was amazing and that museum was so good. I continued to go to San Jose for many years afterward. The show and museum were way more interesting than the stuffy art museums in San Francisco. Reading this good news makes me want to visit Kansas City and see the wonderful art you bring there. If it is involved with indigenous voice, I am coming for sure. Congrats for surviving!
Congratulations. KC is lucky to have you, Mrs. Northrop! Best wishes on this next adventure!

Yankee Stadium closes doors, but history always remains
By Mike Lupica
Sep 22, 2008 | 4:00 AM
The Yankees say so long to The House That Ruth Built but not the memories made in the Bronx. (Bello/Getty)
The Yankees, old and new, kept running out from the Yankee dugout at old Yankee Stadium, came running out into one amazing cheer after another, one more hello on a night of goodbyes. There will be a big production in November here, when they will wring one last big night out of the place. But this was the beginning of the letting go now on the field now at the Stadium, not The House That Ruth Built now, just the baseball house everybody grew up in. These were the first steps across the street.
"Boy," Yogi Berra had said in the interview room before the night really began at the Stadium. "Boy, this is a big place."
It has always been the biggest and best possible baseball place, and now there they were all over the field, this extraordinary company of New York Yankees. Yogi stood at home plate in his old-fashioned Yankee cap and his old-fashioned Yankee uniform, stood there once more with No.8 on his back at Yankee Stadium, stood there with Elston Howard's daughter and Thurman Munson's son and Joe Girardi and Jorge Posada.

Once more at the Stadium, on the Sunday nightfor it on this side of 161st, there were camera lights flashing everywhere, and there was a baseball sound that only this place has ever made. Yogi was hearing it and feeling it now because they all were. Scott Brosius was at third base Sunday night, next to Wade Boggs and Alex Rodriguez and Graig Nettles, who rocked the old place one night in a World Series, rocked it with the best plays around third base you have ever seen in this world.
Willie Randolph slid into second base. Derek Jeter stood with Scooter Rizzuto's wife Cora out at short, Cora wearing Scooter's No. 10. Bobby Richardson was in this big place Sunday night, so was Billy (The Kid) Martin's kid. Bernie Williams ran out to center field in a Yankee uniform and stood with Mickey Mantle's son David. Paul O'Neill and Reggie Jackson were in right with Roger Maris' son, and Tino Martinez was at first base.
This was the loud beginning of letting-go, on a baseball night when nobody wanted to.
It was all here Sunday night, all the oldest memories of the place and the more recent ones. Don Larsen was at the Stadium Sunday nightand Yogi didn't jump into Larsen's arms the way he did after Larsen's perfect game in the World Series. But when you saw that No.8 on Yogi's back, saw him behind the batter's box once more, it was easy to see him in Larsen's arms again, because that was part of the magic of the night, the Sunday nightof baseball on this side of 161st.
PHOTO GALLERY: THE LAST GAME
And Brosius and Tino were hitting home runs again in the shadow of September 11. And Reggie was hitting three out against the Dodgers. And Torre's Yankees were once again a team that nobody in this world could beat.
"It will always be in my heart," Yogi had said in the interview room, before his voice started to break when he talked about Elston Howard, and others from his own amazing company of Yankees who are gone.
"I hope we can close it out real good," Yogi said.
They were closing it out good now, good and loud, long before Andy Pettitte threw his first pitch to the Orioles, long before Johnny Damon hit one over the wall and Jose Molina did the same. They were closing it out with what the place has always been built on, and that is memory. The winning is all tied up with that, but it was more than that Sunday nightat the Stadium. On the Sunday nightat this Stadium, it was everybody's first time all over again. It was the first time we all saw the inside of the place. Big place. Biggest ever. Even bigger than you imagined.

"I hate to see it go," Yogi had said. "I played here my whole life."
VOTE FOR THE GREATEST STADIUM MOMENT
This wasn't a World Series night, this Yankee team isn't nearly good enough. It just felt like one of those Stadium nights with all the trimmings and all the noise, as loud as the city. It was because all the years and all the Yankee eras, all the winning, were colliding now on this field, the most famous ballfield in this world. There was one last Stadium victory for Andy Pettitte. There was a curtain call for Jeter when he left the game with two outs in the top of the ninth.
Really, the curtain call was for the Stadium, everything it has been and everything it has ever meant to the company of men on the field Sunday nightand their fans. Babe Ruth's daughter was in the house, there to throw out the first pitch. You better believe Larsen was there. So were David Cone and David Wells, the other perfect-game pitchers for the Yankees. The Mick was there Sunday night. So was Joe D. And Bobby Murcer. And Catfish Hunter. And Scooter. Just because they were. Just because Yankee Stadium on this night was as much the capital of baseball and memory and magic as it has ever been.
And felt more like family than it ever had.
When it was over, a few minutes before midnight, there was the picture of Jeter standing in the middle of the field next to Rivera, who got the last three outs at this Yankee Stadium, of course. Then Jeter was talking about the pride of the Yankees, and memories, and how they are passed on, saying he wanted to salute the "greatest fans in the world." Then he led the Yankees around the field, and nobody wanted to leave. And the last time for all of them, in the stands and on the field, was like the first time at Yankee Stadium.

What is an objective and academic (philosophical) breakdown of the ethics behind this approach to reducing racial inequality?
A trend seems to be rising on spotlighting a particular race for the purpose of reducing racial inequality. One example published recently by a very large retailer:
"Shop and support <race>-owned businesses"
I assume someone has put more thought into the idea than I have and that it potentially makes sense ethically in a way that I'm not understanding. Discussion about race, being a social issue, is often based on popular opinion and emotionally based thought. I sometimes wish I could find explanations of these topics framed in a more academic and formal manner. Could someone cite any studies on this or give such an explanation on the underlying ethics of this concept?
My very simplistic thought, looking at this advertisement, is that the whole idea behind fighting racial bias is to avoid distinguishing between races of people at all; to think of ourselves not as Black, White, Asian, etc people, but rather just as people. My thinking (again, lacking rigorous study of relevant literature) on this was inspired by an American actor's perspective on a similar topic, but I lack any academic or philosophically rigorous source to support my ideas.
On one hand I think of emphasizing race as a purchasing decision factor as an unethical and counter-productive approach to racial equality. It seems plausible that this approach could even be thought of as the manifestation of racism, since the unspoken half of "Shop and support <race>-owned businesses." is "instead of <other races>-owned businesses." given that purchasing a good or service from one company usually entails not purchasing it from a competitor.
On the other hand, I realize racism has affected and continues to affect purchasing decisions in the opposite direction, so this could be thought of as a balancing of the scales. But at what cost? it certainly seems a multi-faceted and complex issue.
Overall, based on my earlier premise, my own immediate conclusion was that this seems like a shift from the ethical principle of
"Racism is bad."
"Racism is bad except for when ..."
...which appears potentially counter-productive toward the goals of improving race relations, improving racial equality, and reducing racially-focused mindsets to prevent these biases in the future. Even if the scales are balanced, the principle used to get there seems to hold potentially negative long term consequences, perhaps building resentment between races rather than reducing it.
But I'm looking for alternative ways to think of it based on more well-reasoned thought than my own, even if not to resolve the conflict, to better understand the ethical considerations from a more philosophically rigorous perspective.
J.Todd

One can consider other social goods in addition to "avoid[ing] distinguishing between races of people" in making their ethical determinations.
Your hunch is right, this is thought as counterbalancing: if a rod is bent one way it takes bending it the other way to straighten it out. But you have to take it to the logical (and ethical) conclusion. This is not "racism is bad except for", this is consequences of (existing) racism are bad, therefore we must apply racial preferences (for the oppressed race) to mitigate them. It is perfectly ethical from the utilitarian perspective, and is also a rationale behind the affirmative action. Or you can see it as fairness, as a higher moral end, overriding lack of racial preferences.
– Conifold
@Conifold Given we agree on the desire to straighten out the rod, some concerns come to mind based on the chosen method: 1) Would this approach not potentially build resentment in the races other than the (now counter-preferred) minority race, based on the seemingly reasonable frustration that they (the presently living members of other races) did not personally take part in any wrongdoing? And couldn't that resentment lead to negative relations in the future that outweigh the positives? 2) And what about children learning today to strongly embrace race as a meaningful identity trait?
– J.Todd
Does it build resentment? Yes. Does it potentially entrench race-focused mindsets? Yes. But the presently living are arguably beneficiaries of past racism, say, in the economic and societal sense, hence ethically responsible. So this is a purely pragmatic issue of whether this works as intended, not an ethical one. For the rod analogy to hold the applied counterforce must gradually decrease as the bent diminishes, ideally vanishing at the end. This may or may not be compatible with human psychology and politics. As always, the utilitarian calculation hinges on some factual assumptions.
@J.Todd - There's a tendency to talk about this as ancient history, but not only were many of the cases of "wrongdoing" committed in recent history, by some of the "presently living," some of them are still happening now. // Along those lines, it's also noting that small unconscious, unintentional acts of bias can have a significant impact in the aggregate --enough, perhaps, to justify attempts at redress.
– Chris Sunami supports Monica
There is indeed a lot of theory and literature around this topic, but it's just as often critical as affirming. The center of is an old debate in the Black American community, perhaps best traced back to Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass. Washington and Douglass were both born enslaved, and both became prominent speakers, philanthropists, activists and community leaders. But they had very different perspectives on what was best for Black Americans.
Washington believed in hard work, keeping a low profile, and advancing towards self-determination through economic achievement --in other words, by "supporting black businesses." His philosophy was instrumental in the creation of the Black American middle class, and in the founding of Black businesses, colleges, business associations and other similar institutions. However, he was criticized by Douglass and many others for his willingness to embrace the status quo, for what was seen as advocating a servile, placating and ingratiating attitude towards whites, and for his unwillingness to take controversial political stands. Douglass, on the other hand, was an early forerunner of the later Civil Rights Movement, who insisted on full equality and the protection of voting rights for Black Americans. Douglass' fears about the accomodationist stance would prove prescient. When Black businesspeople and politicians became too successful, they were often targeted for attacks, as in the formation of the Ku Klux Klan, and in incidents like the Tulsa massacre, where a thriving Black financial hub was destroyed, and its owners murdered, largely because they were outcompeting their white neighbors.
In terms of modern day politics, the ethical argument for "supporting Black businesses" is that the Black community, including the Black business community, has, and continues to experience open and hidden discrimination that places it at a continuing and artificially maintained disadvantage (for instance, redlining, the systematic undervaluing of Black-owned real estate, a now-illegal, but still persistent practice estimated to have transferred an average $212K per family worth of wealth from Black hands to white hands). From that point of view, supporting Black businesses, when practiced conscientiously, can indeed play a role in redressing past and continuing economic injustices. But it's a facile and superficial form of activism that does little to address larger societal issues. As such, it is vulnerable to the socialist critique that it is a capitalist subversion of the energy of a movement for social justice --the transformation of activism into a just another consumer choice.

I have been pointing the nose of my Toyota east and shooting down the Gorge the last couple weeks. That's the newest hotspot for Oregon cider, although most of the cideries are so new very few people have heard of them. Over the next few weeks or months, I'll be giving them the full Cider Saturday treatment, but for now, here's a picture essay and a thumbnail description of each cidery. In the meantime, you can organize a tour for yourself if you wish. All the cideries mentioned here have regular hours and welcome the public. Click the links for details.
Stefan Guemperlein operates the tiniest cidery from the back of his Ovino store in Hood River. A German who recalls drinking cider in Bavaria in his youth, it was actually his love of Italian wines that brought him to the apple. Now he makes naturally-fermented cider, slow-aged to rich complexity.
You want cider? The orchardist Bob Fox and his cider-making partner Justin Cardwell have cider--eight varieties when I visited. Many include fruits gathered elsewhere on the farm (the best-seller is a peach cider, Fuzzy Haven), but I like the English-style dry, Docklands. Stop into their really nice taproom just north of Hood River to sample.
I think Mosier is about to go on the cider map--it's about five miles east of Hood River, and it's where you find Rack and Cloth. They have a cool little tasting-room/restaurant, and you can get not only their cider there, but food made from the produce of their farm. Right now supplies are in very short supply, so visit early. Silas has parceled out one five-gallon keg for each day they're open until the new cider is in, and when it's gone, you have to drink beer. (Horrors!) By the way the sheep on the far right is PommePomme, the cidery's mascot.
At the moment, Theresa Draper only makes sweet cider--that is, pre-fermented. She is edging toward a cidery and tasting room to showcase the nine acres of heirloom fruit she grows, but that's down the line. But here's the thing: that sweet cider is unpasteurized. That means if you want to ferment it out yourself, with the Drapers' own Parkdale yeast, all you need is a carboy. In October, I'm definitely making a trek out to pick up my five gallons.
Hood Valley is located across the street from Solera Brewing in downtown Parkdale. Cider maker Brian Perkey has a long history in brewing, and brings his experience to the endeavor of producing a high-quality off-dry draft cider--the equivalent of a good session ale. Both he and his ciders are enormously effervescent, and chatting with him is as fun as drinking his product.
