Coates in Beacon News: Land title decision assures Aboriginals' place in development
Writing for Beacon News, MLI Senior Fellow Ken Coates says a recent Supreme Court decision that expands Aboriginal title to traditional lands assures them "a proper and substantial place" in Canadian resource development.
Instead of treating Aboriginal groups' participation as a minor irritant to planned developments, Coates argues, business and governments will now need to establish viable partnerships and collaborations.
The column also appeared in the Miramichi Leader, the New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal, the Moncton Times & Transcript, the Kings Country Record and Kelowna's Daily Courier.
The Yukon News also quoted from the column in its story on the Tsilhqot'in decision.
By Ken Coates, July 1, 2014
With unexpected clarity and decisiveness, the Supreme Court recognized the Tsilhqot'in Aboriginal title to their traditional lands and directed governments on how they must proceed with any future development on non-treaty lands.
Even the Tsilqot'in, who clearly hoped for the best from the courts, seemed gobsmacked by the strength of the judgment in their favour.
This decision is a long time coming. In 1973, the Nisga'a from the Nass River valley in northwest British Columbia had their day in court. They claimed Aboriginal title to their traditional territories and wanted their land rights recognized by the courts. The Nisga'a lost the case, in a rare 3-3-1 split vote, but they had made their point. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, previously unimpressed with Aboriginal claims, realized that the Government of Canada could well lose the next such legal challenge. The modern land claims era had started.
But it has been a hard road. Some land claims agreements were signed, particularly in the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut, and the Nisga'a finally got their settlement. But most of British Columbia remains non-treaty land, and several Yukon and NWT First Nations and Maritime First Nations have not yet signed land surrender treaties.
Even without full legal backing, many First Nations – more than most Canadians realize – worked with governments and corporations to secure appropriate resource development agreements. Others, including the Tsilhqot'in, pushed back and used the courts to clarify their rights and responsibilities. The Supreme Court decision on the Williams case is the capstone to that process.
There will be a great deal of talk about the Tsilhqot'in decision in the next few weeks and months. The Tsilhqot'in won, and they won big. Their Aboriginal rights to their traditional territories have been confirmed. The basis for negotiations in British Columbia and elsewhere has shifted. First Nations have more legal authority than in the past and, like anyone else in a similar situation, they will use it to their benefit.
The Aboriginal power as spelled out in the Williams judgment is not absolute, however. Resource development can proceed, subject to the restated requirements to consult and accommodate. The decision puts a higher standard on Government to demonstrate a compelling provincial or national interest in a specific project – and no doubt governments and First Nations will be back in court to define the collective interest more precisely.
To this point, most Canadians have viewed First Nations' interests in resource development as a minor irritant and occasionally, as with the Northern Gateway project, a major impediment. Indeed, there has been growing concern expressed by non-Aboriginal people about the steady increase in Aboriginal rights, a grumble that is likely to get louder in the days to come. However, there are more important lessons here.
That the Tsilhqot'in turned to the courts showed their ultimate faith in Canada and their commitment to a peaceful resolution to their outstanding claims. The Supreme Court has vindicated that confidence. Remember, however, that this decision recognizes Aboriginal rights under British and Canadian law. It applies a British legal standard to the First Nations' claim. It does not represent an assertion of Indigenous legal or political concepts, much as the Tsilhqot'in would have liked that. In short form, the Supreme Court has declared that, in order to honour British and Canadian law, governments have to work differently and more proactively with First Nations.
Importantly, the Williams decision compels governments and companies to work in a way that in fact has already become accepted practice. Resource companies realize that they need to work with Aboriginal people if they want their projects to succeed and they have become increasingly adept at creating viable partnerships and collaborations. Governments, too, understand that the resource development world has been changing rapidly in recent years and that new arrangements are required. The Supreme Court decision puts more authority in the hands of First Nations in non-treaty areas but the directions to government are actually consistent with much current practice.
Canadians have to realize, through this decision, that the country has turned a page in its history. Aboriginal people have been assured, under British and Canadian law, a proper and substantial place in the development of natural resources. Their participation is a matter of right, not corporate generosity or government benevolence.

Pavagadh is a picturesque hill-station in the Panchmahal district of Gujarat, about 46 kilometres away from Vadodara. It is a two to three hour drive away from Ahmedabad, roughly 146 kilometres in distance. The drive from Vadodara to Pavagadh is absolutely mesmerising. The beautiful landscape, the winding roads against a backdrop of the majestic mountains, automatically transports you to a surreal world.
Pavagadh is a stunning place to be in during the monsoons, if you don't mind the earthworms all around, that is! As usual I freaked out at the sight of earthworms and they are everywhere. The most important sight of Champaner-Pavagadh is the Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in the historical city of Champaner and spread over an area of more than 1329 hectares, this heritage sight is studded with ruins of ancient forts and bastions, starting from the hills of Pavagadh and extending to the city. The park's landscape includes archaeological, historic and living cultural heritage monuments. They include ruins of palaces, entrance gates and archways, tombs, mosques, temples, residential complexes and step-wells and tanks, dating back to the 8th century.
The temples and mosques in Pavagadh are worth visiting. The oldest temple dates back to the 10th-11th centuries, and lies mostly in ruins at present. The temples of the Jain religion are also noteworthy. Elaborately carved pillars depict various aspects of Jainism, and the garbhagrihas are enshrined with beautiful stone images of the Tirthankaras. The most visited temple is the Kalika Mata Temple. This temple dedicated to the Hindu goddess is said to be one of the Shakti peethas, and is therefore a major centre of pilgrimage for tourists. This temple also dates back to the 10th-11th centuries. The temple is situated amidst a dense forest cover on a cliff. It is a 5 kilometre walk by foot, and ropeway service is also available.
The Jami Masjid in Champaner is a part of the Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological park, and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The construction of the mosque began in 1513, and was carried out over 25 years. The building is a wonderful amalgamation of Hindu and Muslim styles of architecture, and is considered to be one of the finest mosques in Western India with its elegant interiors.The huge domes and the intricate jali work narrates glorious tales of the past. Another important mosque in Champaner is the Nagina Mosque. Known as the 'Jewel Mosque', this monument also dates back to the 15th century. The masjid is constructed in pure white marble, marked by minarets, which have elegant and intricate carvings, and floral motifs in its niches. Within the precincts of the masjid there are a few brick structures and step-wells. The Cenotaph is one of the most famous structures within the premises of the mosque. It has openings on all four sides, and its frontage, coloumns and niches are artistically carved with floral and geometrical motifs.
For people who are fascinated by history, Pavagadh-Champaner is the perfect destination for a holiday. The scenic beauty of the mountains adds on to the rich culture of the place, making it an irresistible destination in the lap of Gujarat.

Utica Comets' affiliate, New Jersey, signs defenseman Colton White to two-way contract
Staff and wire reports
The Utica Comets' new NHL affiliate has re-signed a defenseman that could see time with the team in the upcoming season.
The New Jersey Devils have re-signed restricted free-agent defenseman Colton White to a one-year, two-way contract. The two-way contract determines how much a player will be paid at each level.
New Jersey Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald said in a release Wednesday that White will earn $750,000 at the NHL level and $130,000 at the AHL level. His salary at the AHL level is a notable raise from previous seasons. He would need to clear waivers in order to be assigned to Utica.
White has skated in 11 NHL games over three seasons with New Jersey, from 2018-19 to 2020-21, including two games during the most recent shortened season. The 24-year-old made his NHL debut in March 2019.
The signing could be more relevant for the Comets as White has spent a majority of his career in the AHL and has been a call-up option for New Jersey. He could be considered a more experienced player on the Utica's blueline in an organization has its share of young players especially on defense.
Utica and New Jersey became affiliates in the May. Utica had been the Vancouver Canucks' affiliate for eight seasons beginning in 2013.
White has spent parts of the past four seasons (2017-18 to 2020-21) with the Binghamton Devils, New Jersey's former AHL affiliate. He has 11 goals and 47 assists in 190 regular-season games. He served as an alternate captain for the team for the 2020-21 season.
White was New Jersey's fourth selection, 97th overall, in the 2015 draft. He spent four seasons in the OHL with the Soo Greyhounds before being drafted.
New Jersey has also re-signed defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler and goaltender Scott Wedgewood this offseason from a long list of free agents New Jersey has.
Utica has a total of five players signed to AHL contracts for the upcoming season. Utica's home opener is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 17. The time and opponent has not been released. A full schedule is expected to be released soon.

The seemingly never-ending Bitcoin ETF saga has continued, with a recent regulatory development recently sparking discussion within the cryptosphere.
As reported by NewsBTC, on August 22nd, the SEC came out to issue orders of denial for nine ETF proposals from ProShares, Direxion, and GraniteShares. Elaborating on the reasoning behind the verdict, three 26-page SEC documents brought attention to the regulatory body's fears of manipulation, noting that Bitcoin markets lack "significant size." Following this verdict, CNBC "Fast Money," which has become near-notorious for its coverage of the crypto markets, did its best to weigh in on the current state of crypto-backed ETFs.
Taking these statements into account, it's evident that many industry leaders have not accepted the fact that this nascent market isn't ready to take on a fully-fledged ETF. Secondly, Kelly pointed out that prior to an eventual ETF acceptance, it will be essential for the SEC to find a way to accurately survey the market, which will help to mitigate the risk of market manipulation and trading fraud.
Last but not least, CNBC's in-house crypto analyst added that the Bitcoin futures market will need to mature, as the SEC has yet to put its full trust into the crypto futures subindustry. While this statement sounds like futures have garnered close-to-zero support, Kelly revealed that this is far from the case, as the CME-backed Bitcoin futures have seen an 85% increase in open interest positions. And if this trend continues, the analyst expects for the Bitcoin futures market to be "robust" by the time February rolls around.
This factor, coupled with the introduction of the ICE-backed Bakkt platform and continual support from legacy market insiders, like SEC Commissioner Hester Pierce, may make a Bitcoin ETF much more than a possibility.
Speaking of SEC Commissioner Hester Pierce, who has been dubbed 'CryptoMom' by some, she recently took to Twitter to announce that the SEC would be reviewing its decision to deny the aforementioned ETF proposals. Although Kelly did not see this as an explicit sign of an immediate ETF acceptance, he noted that this is a sign of such an investment vehicle drawing ever closer.

Davni Chasy 7″
Davni Chasy 7" quantity
SKU: DAVNI7 Categories: The Wedding Present, Vinyl & Cassettes
This 7" comprises tracks recorded by The Wedding Present for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show [at the legendary BBC studios in Maida Vale, London] in the 1980s and is taken from the album 'The Complete Ukrainian John Peel Sessions'. It was originally released by Hatch Records to commemorate 'Record Store Day 2019'.
Track-listing : 'Davni Chasy' c/w 'Katrusya'
'The Single That Never Was'
When The Wedding Present signed to RCA Records in December 1988 they set about persuading their new label to release 'Ukrainski Vistupi V Johna Peela' – a compilation of sessions of Ukrainian folk music that the band had recorded for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show in 1987 and 1988.
RCA, to their credit, agreed to releasing this rather unconventional major record label debut but also noticed that one of the tunes, 'Davni Chasy', was the same song that had been adapted for Mary Hopkin for her No. 1 single 'Those Were The Days' in 1968.
Sniffing a hit single, RCA suggested that 'Davni Chasy' be released as a Wedding Present 7"… but the band declined. Until now! Thirty years later, Hatch Records have re-licensed the track from the BBC and, with re-mastered audio and new artwork by Jonathan Hitchen [designer of the original 1989 'Ukrainski Vistupi' LP sleeve] released it as their first foray into the wonderful world of Record Store Day.

Some Newspaper in Education programs offer classroom sets of print newspapers at special rates. Others offer electronic or e-Editions of their newspapers and/or Web editions. To order newspapers, contact the person who manages the Newspaper in Education program or the circulation manager or publisher. Ask for order forms, similar to the three provided here. FORM 1 (2014-2015). FORM 1 (2015-2016). FORM 2 (2014-2015). FORM 2 (2015-2016). FORM 3 (Calendar & Cost 2014-2015). FORM 3 (Calendar & Cost 2015-2016). Use the contact list for Newspapers in Education and other education outreach to find out how local newspapers work with schools. Usually a newspaper that offers print editions establishes a minimum order of five to ten newspapers per delivery and asks that you order for consecutive days, weeks or the entire school year. To give newspapers adequate time to set up orders, make your request two weeks in advance. Newspapers offer print and/or online order forms. Before ordering, take stock of the newspaper or newspapers you plan to use, whether using print and/or online editions. Read the newspapers regularly and become familiar with the navigational aids designed to help readers locate information. Look through each day's newspaper and write down the things that make that day's paper different from others. You should look for special sections, columns, commentary, photo galleries and inserts. Pay particular attention to content aimed at younger readers and content that will support your teaching goals. If you have questions, ask your newspaper for a description of specific features in each day's newspaper. Teachers, you may use projected pages from a newspaper's e-Edition (replica of print edition) to familiarize students with the print edition. Students may also use class sets of newspapers to locate information from the sections of a newspaper: News, Features, Sports, Local, Editorial, Retail ads, Classifieds, Weather, Comics and TV-Movies. To make sure students understand how newspapers organize information, have them search different newspapers for the sections. They may also use different newspapers to illustrate terms, such as headline, byline, dateline, jump, index, cut and cutline. Once students become familiar with newspapers, vary your approaches. If print editions are available, NIE teachers order a class set each time students study the newspaper or order enough for students to work in teams or small groups (one newspaper for two or three students). If students rotate through centers or small groups work on different assignments, fewer newspapers (three to five) may be ordered and used in the classroom. You may further differentiate instruction by dividing newspapers, giving students different sections or pages along with appropriate assignments. E-Editions allow teachers to select and print stories if they choose to do so. If you have enough computers for group work, students can complete newspaper activities based on the e-Edition or Web edition. However you use newspapers, to better organize efforts in your school, coordinate efforts with other teachers. Be sure to discuss resources available through your media and technology specialists. If print editions are available, place orders for classroom newspapers with others who teach the same course or grade level or teach in the same department or school. For example, one teacher may coordinate orders for the 4th grade and another might order for his or her social studies department. Also, share teaching ideas that make effective use of newspapers. Begin by surveying students to find out if they are familiar with newspapers: 1. What is your local newspaper? 2. What is your regional newspaper? 3. Do you read a newspaper on a regular basis? At home? In School? 4. Do you read online editions? 5. Do you have favorite parts or sections of the newspaper? 6. Have you used newspapers in other classes? 7. What other media do you use to learn about local news and current events? 8. Do you set aside time each day to listen to, read about or view the news? Communicate with parents about your plans to use newspapers in your classroom. Explain your teaching goals. To involve parents, send the newspapers or information about online editions home with students. Stimulate conversation about the role of newspapers. Encourage students to ask parents whether they use newspapers to help in routine daily chores, such as shopping or selecting movies, and to decide how to vote in elections. Consider having students interview their parents to find out more about their sources for news. Choose from the following questions: 1. Where do you get your news? Do you read a newspaper? 2. Which newspaper do you read the most regularly? 3. When and where do you read it? 4. How often do you read it? 5. Do you subscribe or do you buy it at the newsstands? 6. How much does it cost? 7. Why did you choose that particular paper? What do you like best about it? 8. Do you read more than one newspaper? Why do you read that newspaper? 9. Do you ever read an online newspaper? Which one? Why? 10. Other than your local newspaper, where do you get news about your community and the state? 11. Where do you get news about the nation and world? 12. Do you set aside or devote time each day for the news?

When I received my Professional Turkish Electric Oud, it came in 2 weeks so that was good. I kind of think I purchased a used Oud because the back of the head had this cracked glue white stuff sealed on it as if it was once needed repaired, and a part of the head had a small chip of the gloss paint missing while the other part looked in tacked.
I received the instrument with its case, all its strings on the Oud along with extra strings (brand new) already provided, and 2 Rishas. A battery was also in place to use for Electric playing though I had to go buy new batteries, because the battery light turned on was red and not green. I don't think that battery was replaced in there as already new either.

Foxfarm Salamander Soil is an ideal water holding potting mix for rooted cuttings and young plants grown indoors or out. Contains up to 70% coconut coir for exceptional water retention, yet maintains the perfect amount of drainage and aeration at the root level. Great for hanging baskets and potted plants in hot weather climates.
• Ready to use right out of the bag — pH adjusted!
When transplanting young seedlings use a gentle hand to prevent damage to tender roots and stems. Fill containers to an inch below the rim to make them easier to water and give them a good drink immediately when finished. Tah-dah!


I've seen the trailer to this, know a bit about the history. And as always, I'm intrigued by the idea of Tommy Lee Jones tackling a larger than life figure from history. I re-watched "Cobb," the other day. He was better than the script and movie around him, there. Here, he's the General who oversaw the occupation of Japan, deciding whether or not the plainly complicit Emperor Hirohito should be arrested and tried for war crimes after WWII. High-handed, smart, bullying and vain, not every trait we attach to TLJ matches MacArthur. But a few do. "Emperor" opens March 8.
The actual facts about Pearl Harbor have been known since 1996, when retired KGB General Vitalii Pavolov published his memoir, 'Operation Snow'. Essentially, Soviet intelligence knew that Hitler was going to turn on them and attack–it was obvious, Hitler was transferring troops and tanks from France to Poland. In order to meet that threat Moscow had to be able to free up its troops from the far east of Russia (where they stood ready to repulse an attack from their historical enemy, Japan) and move them west. Problem; Stalin refused to believe his new best friend Adolf would be so treacherous.
So in the spring of 1941, Pavlov (then a newly minted espionage agent), was dispatched to Washington DC to re-activate one of their most valuable assets within New Deal Washington; Harry Dexter White. White, a former Harvard economist, was the brains behind then Treasury Sec'y Morgenthau. Pavlov, over lunch at a restaurant, filled White in on Hitler's plans and gave White the assignment of provoking Japan into attacking the USA. Meaning they couldn't also attack Russia at the same time.
White's machinations were successful. Essentially, he got the American govt to change its diplomatic stance toward Japan from neutrality toward outright hostility. Historians had long been puzzled by the diplomatic blunders in the summer of 1941–especially cutting Japan off from its lone source of petroleum, which made the oil fields of Indonesia suddenly a prize for the taking–Pavlov's story makes those 'blunders' understandable; they had a purpose.
Japan did not want war with the USA, but were left with little alternative thanks to the Soviet penetration of the American govt at the highest levels. Whether or not MacArthur knew this story is doubtful. But, he could have, as the FBI had been on to Harry Dexter White thanks to the Venona decrypts for some time before the end of WWII.
I'm making a wild prediction; none of the above will be in this movie.
My compliments. The light under that rock you crawled out from under is good enough for you to read a book. By a commie. Whose word you take for everything.
Interesting knee jerk reaction to a book! Though the 'commie' in question (a former KGB agent) was attempting to pay tribute to Harry Dexter White, who he considered a hero for helping the Soviet Union to survive Hitler. Hard to see what reason he would have had to lie.
Justice Pal's dissent was prohibited from being published in Japan and the USA. It didn't see the light of day until 1998. Clearly, he made some powerful people uncomfortable.
Go sell crazy someplace else, sport. You're off topic and off your nut.

Vermont Drug Rehab
Staggering Facts About Drug Use in Vermont
Illicit drug use in Vermont is currently the highest in the country. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration states that 15% of Vermont residents say they've used some form of drugs within the past month. This is in direct comparison to the lowest state in the country, Utah, which is recorded at 4.2%. Additionally, Vermont is ranked highly for several other drugs, which range from marijuana to cocaine.
Experts suggest the problem is due to a combination of factors. Although some factors may seem minor, many play a key role in the staggering usage rate. These factors include proximity to major cities, weather, and politics. Experts add that being more accessible to drugs, liberal attitudes, and higher income levels are attributed to excessive drug use.
Marijuana accounts for a large section of Vermont's drug use. This state is one the highest in the United States for marijuana use. Surveys from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration suggest 13% of residents have used marijuana in the past month. Experts believe that marijuana use tends to be higher than other states with high illicit drug use because of favorable attitudes in Vermont on marijuana use and decriminalization.
It is important to add that out-of-state trafficking has added to Vermont's severe drug problem. This is primarily due to the highways that lead into other major cities. Vermont is in the middle of many highways that lead to Philadelphia, Montreal, New York, and Boston. In most cases, in order to reach major cities such as New York, traffickers pass through Vermont.
Crime in Vermont has witnessed a sharp increase as a result of drug usage. Within the last few years, burglaries related to drug trafficking and the arrest of visitors has ballooned significantly. Reports suggest that large amounts of heroin have entered the state from out-of-town dealers that sell the drug at a higher price in Vermont. Simply put, one bag of heroin valued at $10 in a major city can sell for as much as $40 in Rutland, Vermont.
Over the last few years, prescription drug usage has grown considerably in Vermont. According to The Burlington Free Press, this is also a growing trend around the country. Vermont officials agree that prescription drug use is becoming a crisis. Many officials have begun finding ways to address the growing issue. These officials have started paying closer attention to the trends and implement innovative methods to curb the problem. Enhancing treatment services and improving law enforcement are two ways officials have started addressing the issue.
Prescription Abuse
The Burlington Free Press reported there were more residents prosecuted in federal court for trafficking prescription opioids and oxycodone than any other drug. More importantly, in Vermont, prescription opioids have accounted for more than half of drug overdoses. It is important to add that Vermont is second only to Maine in per-capita admissions for the treatment of prescription opioids addiction. Some experts suggest that this brutal statistic is a result of physicians improperly prescribing opioids.
Over the past five years, research shows that one out of four cases seen by the Vermont Medical Practice Board involves claims of improper opioids prescription. In most cases, these prescriptions were over-prescribed to patients, family members, and the physician. Vermont also holds the most per-capita consumption of buprenorphine. This is a drug used to treat opioid addiction. There is also a commercial version of the drug known as Suboxone. Vermont's correctional facilities are witnessing a rise in Suboxone abuse. This drug is currently the most seized illegal drugs within Vermont's correctional facilities.
As a result, Vermont's Health Department created emergency rules geared toward coordinating treatment, counseling, and medication for people addicted to opioids. Governor Peter Shumlin implemented a plan to improve recovery, prevention, and treatment programs. The Governor also plans to strengthen law enforcement tactics to pursue physicians that improperly prescribe opioids.
From 2009 to 2010, Vermont ranked in the top ten states for drug-use in several categories. Those categories range from illicit drug use among residents age 12 or older to illicit drug use among residents age 18-25. Vermont also ranked in the top ten for marijuana use among residents age 12 or older and marijuana use among residents age 18-25. Cocaine use among residents age 12 or older and cocaine use among residents age 18-25 was ranked highly. Illicit drug dependence among residents age 18-25 was also ranked highly. During the past month, 13.73 percent of residents reported using illicit drugs compared to the national average of 8.82 percent.
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health offers state-level data, as well as national data, on the use of illicit drugs, tobacco, and alcohol. This data also includes information on the mental health of United States citizens and data on the non-medical use of prescription drugs. The most up-to-date survey reports that in addition to the 13.73 percent of Vermont residents reporting illicit drugs use; an additional 4.57 percent of Vermont residents report using an illicit drug other than marijuana. This is compared to the national average of 3.6 percent.
There are also drug-induced deaths in Vermont every year. As result of drug use, 57 people died in Vermont in 2009. The number of people who died from car accidents was 79 and the number of people who died from firearms was 60 in the same year. The drug-induced death rate was 9.2 per 100,000 people which are slightly lower than the national average of 12.8 per 100,000 people.
Policies To Combat The Problem
The Vermont Department of Health authorized the Prescription Monitoring System in 2006 launched the system in 2009. The monitoring system gathers information weekly from pharmacies on Schedule II-Schedule IV controlled substances prescribed to outpatients. The information is collected then made available to healthcare providers.
Vermont has implemented state-level policies to combat the severe drug problem. One of the programs includes the Drug Take-Back Program. This is an inclusive plan to handle prescription drug abuse. The plan includes an initiative to properly dispose expired, unused, and unneeded medications. The Take-Back program provides residents with a convenient and safe way to dispose of controlled substances. The program helps prevent abuse of these substances. Currently, there are Federal rules underway that will improve the scope and capability of both community and state take-back programs. However, as of now, Vermont works closely with the DEA to educate residents about effective drug disposal and conduct additional take-back events.
Another state-level policy is a Prescription Drug Monitoring Program or PDMP. This program tracks controlled substances that are distributed by pharmacies and prescribed to residents. The PDMP detects drug diversion, assists with patient care, detects insurance fraud, and offers warning signs of drug epidemics. This program is funded by both state and Federal funds and was established by state legislation. The development of this state program shares information within the system that can help reduce prescription drug abuse.
ONDCP and Drugged Driving
As of 2007, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that one in eight weekend and nighttime drivers test positive for illicit drug use. As of 2009, the Fatal Accident Reporting System data suggest that one in three motor vehicle fatalities have drug test results that were positive. The ONDCP recognizes the growing trend, and has started working to enhance awareness about the hazards of drugged driving. This initiative provides additional training to law enforcement in ways to identify drugged drivers, and persuade states to consider implementing Per Se laws. These laws will facilitate the prosecution of drivers caught operating a motor vehicle with drugs inside.
Currently, Vermont does not have a Per Se standard. However, Vermont state law says that "A person shall not operate, attempt to operate, or be in actual physical control of any vehicle on a highway…(3) when the person is under the influence of any other drug or under the combined influence of alcohol and any other drug to a degree which renders the person incapable of driving safely." In some cases, blood testing is an option if there is probable cause. Although Vermont has laws against drugged driving, the state's law enforcement agency lacks sufficient tools to prosecute and enforce drugged driving laws.
The High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program improves and manages the drug control initiative among Federal, local, and state law enforcement agencies. In selected HIDTA regions, the program offers agencies additional resources such as technology and equipment to help combat drug trafficking. More importantly, the program curbs the damaging consequences drug use has on regions in the United States.
An Increase In Heroin Use
The governor of Vermont recently put heroin addiction on the top of his priority list. The governor devoted the majority of the State of the State address to the dramatic increase in heroin abuse. The governor described the issue as an "epidemic." In Vermont, heroin abuse has increased 770 percent since 2000.
Over the last year, non-medical prescription opiate abuse has gradually decreased. The SAMHSA 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported that the amount of "new" non-medical users was 1.9 million compared to 2002 when it was 2.2 million. It is important to add that these statistics are for non-medical prescription pain killers and not drugs received with a prescription.
Methamphetamine abuse has also decreased over the last year. The amount of meth users aged 12 or older was 133,000 in 2012. In 2002, the number of users was around 160,000.
Cocaine abuse is gradually declining as well. In Vermont, new users accounted for 640,000 in 2012 compared to 1 million in 2002. Crack abuse decreased from more than 200,000 users in 2002 to around 84,000 in 2012. This is a statistic that's remained steady for the past three years.
The primary reason for the decline in illicit drug use is attributed to heroin use. Marijuana and Hallucinogen usage have remained steady. However, there has been a slight increase among new users over the last decade. This is not a surprising statistic since these drugs are the drug of choice younger users and party goers.
The most shocking statistic involves a severe drop in non-medical prescription opiate abuse that is a result of an increase in heroin abuse. Some experts suggest that the reason is related to basic economics. Prescription pain killers obtained illegally are harder to find and more expensive. However, the difficulty and price of heroin has decreased. For instance, an 80 mg OxyContin pill can range from $50 to $100 on the street. Heroin, on the other hand, costs around $9 a dosage.
More importantly, state laws prosecuting non-medical prescription pain killers have played a key role in the decline. Finding drugs like OxyContin on the streets can be difficult, but there is an abundant amount of heroin. Experts report that non-medical abusers of prescription pain killers have started using heroin as an easier, cheaper alternative. Some experts believe that prescription opiates can serve as a gateway drug to heroin. In some cases, this is not by choice but default.
Another fascinating stat among first-time users is the average age of initiation. For both non-medical prescription pain killers and heroin users, the average age is 22 to 23 years old. It can be concluded that there may be a cross-over effect from drugs like OxyContin to heroin. Conversely, the average age for first-time users of ecstasy and pot are 20 and 18.
The heroin epidemic in Vermont may be a forecast of issues to come in other areas of the country. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that Vermont's average household income, college graduation rate, and home ownership rate are higher than the national average. Moreover, Vermont's percentage of residents living below the poverty level is considerably lower than the national average. These staggering reports show that the significant increase in heroin use is occurring where profitable people are.
Quick Facts about Illicit Drug Use in Vermont
Cocaine:
The traffickers of cocaine in Vermont are generally Caucasian and obtain the drug from different areas that include New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
Cocaine is transported into Vermont through the use of passenger vehicles and is typically distributed in bars.
Crack cocaine is not as popular in Vermont; however, there are a few areas where the drug is available. These areas include Barre, Burlington, and Rutland. Crack is normally distributed by African-American traffickers who get the drug in Massachusetts or New York.
Heroin:
The purity level of heroin in Vermont is considerably high. The level ranges from 55 to 60 percent.
Methamphetamine:
Although there is methamphetamine use, there is not a noteworthy methamphetamine issue in Vermont.
Club Drugs:
These drugs include MDMA or Ecstasy and are popular with younger users or party goers. This drug is widely available in Vermont, mainly in the Burlington area. MDMA that is seized in Vermont is usually from Toronto.
Marijuana:
Marijuana is the most widely used drug throughout several areas in Vermont. This is the drug of choice for younger users and many illicit users.
Marijuana is transported from many of the southwestern United States. The drug is usually trafficked using of tractor-trailers, automobiles, and campers.
In some cases, Canadian drug traffickers transport high-quality marijuana from Canada across the border into Vermont as well as Massachusetts and New York.
The proximity of Vermont to Canada leaves the state vulnerable to a large number of illegal drug threats. Moreover, Vermont's two major highways are I-69 and I-91. These are the perfect ways to move drugs across borders from region to region.
Club Drug Addiction
Molly, another form of MDMA, is the current club drug of choice. There are also other club drugs that include LSD, GHB, and PCP. Ketamine is another club drug, but it is not as popular. The majority of Vermont's molly supply is transported to New Hampshire and Boston from Montreal and Toronto. For the most part, distributors in Vermont are independent dealers who abuse the drug in social environments. The drugs receive the name because of the close association with nightclubs and bars.
Heroin and cocaine are the two most dominant illegal drugs in Vermont. However, crack addiction and distribution is gradually increasing into regions outside the state's major cities. Prescription addiction threatens the health and lifestyle of many Vermont residents, both young and old. Currently, there is a clear and targeted approach implemented to combat drug abuse and addiction. State officials offer help to victims and attempt to strengthen prosecution on distributors. Stricter state laws are the best method to eradicate crime and illegal drugs. The drug epidemic breeds violence, crime, and poverty. It is important to remember that treatment and enforcement are the most effective tools to combat this problem.

Lakers Vs. Mavericks Preview: L.A. Searching For 10th Win Of Season
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
Lakers Nation Roundtable: Which Veteran Is Most Likely To Be Traded?
Alan Huerta
Coming off a 121-103 loss against the Portland Trail Blazers in Kobe Bryant's final game in Portland, the Los Angeles Lakers return home to face the Dallas Mavericks. The team is currently riding a six-game losing streak and has lost their last 10 of 11 after starting the New Year with two straight wins.
Their latest defeat was similar to the ones they've had all season, where a slow start put Los Angeles in a deep hole and forced them to play from behind for most of the game. Besides another disappointing outcome, D'Angelo Russell played well scoring 21 points in only 23 minutes.
The Mavericks come into Tuesday's matchup on a losing streak of their own, after falling to both the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder over the weekend. Although they've struggled as of late, they still hold the sixth spot in the Western Conference standings. As for the Lakers, they're expected to have Larry Nance, Jr. back in the starting lineup after missing four games with a knee injury.
Frontcourt:
The frontcourt is anchored by Dirk Nowitzki, now playing in his 19th season in the NBA. The 13-time All-Star and 2011 Finals MVP is once again leading Dallas to what looks like another playoff run, and besides slowing down the past couple of seasons, he's picked up his play this season currently averaging a team-high 17.7 points per game. He of course isn't the same MVP-caliber player that he used to be, but at age 37, he's still the most valuable piece to this resurged Mavericks team.
Zaza Pachulia controls the paint at center for Dallas, who's had himself quite a year thus far in the 2015-16 season. He's currently averaging a double-double a night (10.4 points and 10.7 rebounds per game) and has looked like a more well-rounded player here in his first season with the Mavericks. His status for Tuesday's game is probable, however, as Pachulia was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets with a leg injury and is listed as day-to-day.
Chandler Parsons is having his worst season since his rookie campaign, at least statistically through 46 games, but he's picked it up as of late. In the last three games, the 27-year-old small forward has averaged 29.0 points per game. Maybe now that he's healthy again after having knee surgery in October, Parsons can get back to his old form where he was easily becoming one of the best up-and-coming small forwards in the NBA.
Backcourt:
In his first season with the Mavericks, Deron Williams has fit in better with the team than he ever did in his stint with the Brooklyn Nets. Although he isn't the same All-Star point guard that would give the Lakers trouble when he was a member of the Utah Jazz, he's done a solid job running the offense for Dallas, currently averaging 14.2 points, 5.6 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game. Now that he's back on a team that's contending for a playoff spot, Williams and the Mavericks are both looking to use their veteran experience to push them far in the Western Conference.
He may have been the biggest addition for the Mavericks this past offseason, especially after the entire DeAndre Jordan debacle, but Wesley Matthews has underperformed to say the least in his first season with the team. After leaving the Trail Blazers to sign with Dallas on a four-year, $70 million deal, Matthews' numbers have declined as he's only averaging 12.9 points to go along with 3.2 rebounds per game through 46 games. Maybe he's still finding his groove after coming off a season-ending ruptured Achilles last season, but if Dallas wants to compete in the West, they'll need the two-way guard to pick up his play like we're accustomed to seeing from him.
Keys to Victory:
Don't Play From Behind: The Lakers have a bad habit of falling into big deficits early in the game, which is why they usually fail at completing comebacks. On this current six-game losing streak, they've lost every game by double-digits, so look for Kobe and company to come out of the gates aggressive as they look to end the streak at home.
Win the Rebounding Battle: One of the many problems for the Lakers this season is that they struggle mightily rebounding the ball. They currently rank in the bottom half of the NBA in team rebounding and have only won one rebounding battle since their 97-77 win against the Phoenix Suns on Jan. 3. If they want to compete throughout four quarters against a trigger-happy Mavericks team, they'll have to crash the boards consistently as a team and limit second chance opportunities.

Chapter 86: Kidnap
At 5:40 p.m. on September 25th, 2017.
Military region.
The sun was gone, but the haze that shrouded people's minds never shattered. Wang Si and Li Nian successively got on the car, they were going Mrs. Isa's Mansion in North Sea Town for an appointment. The secret meeting was only known by the army. The commander personally sent the two to the car and reminded them. "You don't have to go, you can wait for the news of the military commission. This situation may be far more complicated than we think."
"I am a sinful person who is ashamed to face the country and the people before doing a deed of merit, but if the country wants me to offer advice, I will say that the information of the Preacher is fake."
The car drove out of the military area and headed to North Sea Town. The entire road was cleaned, the troops were stationed in the posts, and no one was allowed to monitor the place where the car was going.
North Sea Town.
The sun sank into the mountains, and the lingering fire left a red curtain in in the sky. In addition to Mrs. Isa's Mansion, almost all the surrounding buildings were flattened. The wind comforted the land that was suffering from the disaster. Wang Ji quietly sat on the roof of the mansion, the cloak fluttered and he looked into the distance. Not far from the distance of kilometers, the armed forces of the troops have surrounded the ruins of North Sea Town, and the posts were strict.
On the second floor balcony of the mansion, the young East German engineer, Cossettin, comfortably leaned on the lounge chair, connected the network with his laptop in this world, and began to understand the world where his superior Hunter was.
"It's still not yet in the 21st century in your world, but your equipment is quite advanced."
Wang Ji, sitting above, asked suddenly, with his hands crossed, looking down at Cossettin surfing the Internet on the balcony. The latter was confident; "Of course, we must keep up with the times! My world is more complicated than you think, and there are many connected worlds. Although the time is 1961, the standard of living is definitely not worse than yours. But I am surprised that China now is so strong."
"Doesn't China exist in your world?"
Wang Ji looked at the fire curtain and asked.
"There are areas in the civilized world, but it's more complicated there. The civilized world connects many universes. Single country leads a single world, which only divides the regions. In my case, my world belongs to the Soviet Union, and the other worlds are different. But apart from technology, the rest is more or less the same. In fact, are almost the same, they're managed by Liuyun Mining."
Wang Ji laughed silently. "If we connect the two defense zones in the next preaching war, I will go to see your world."
"Then we talk about business? Do you think they will come?" Cossettin looked up at the roof and added. "Especially after the Preacher sent such distracting information."
Wang Ji was silent, then replied. "If you want to know more information, you can't just listen to one word. The situation is not like that at the beginning of the preaching war. Our country is a big country. When it comes to the problem here, the cold will of the great powers will crush all feelings and suspicions." "Well, like the Soviet Union."
Cossettin nodded and looked back on the computer screen, suddenly showing a surprised look. "What is this dirty thing on this video, damn, is this the legendary mosaic?"
Sunset.
The darkness enveloped the earth, and the moonlight appeared out of nowhere.
The duty unit that blocked the North Sea Town cleared the way. A military vehicle passed through the ruins and came to the front of Mrs. Isa's Mansion. The door was still locked, but in front of the door, there's a strange and clear fire curtain floating in the air, revealing the white the moonlight. When the military vehicle stopped, Wang Si and Li Nian did not get off immediately. The two looked at the incredible fire curtain and did not act rashly.
"I'm the Hunter."
A sound came out from the fire curtain.
"Li Nian."
The chief of staff, Li Nian, got off the car quickly, closed the door and went forward. He stopped at about two meters from the fire curtain and was dressed in uniform. Facing the supernatural power in front of him, he seemed calm.
"I am the person in charge of providing information on evacuation during the daytime command."
Wang Si rolled down the window and spoke in the car without coming down.
"In the afternoon, you should have received news from the Preacher."
"I don't explain much about this. The current situation can only be left to your own judgment. In addition, do not interrupt me when I speak, let alone use the national consciousness, civic responsibility and other words to swindle me, the Hunter is not constrained to your rules. I will briefly explain our cooperation, the background of the disaster here, and the sincerity that both sides need to pay."
After introducing himself, Wang Ji calmly said the prefatory remarks. "First of all, I'll introduce the Preacher. He is not a single individual but a team. The forces spread across multiple universes. Their job is to spread the seeds of disaster. The so-called seed of disaster is a kind of creature that invades the civilized world. The form of communication and the form of life are also different. As for the motivation and purpose of the Preacher, I can't confirm it now."
Wang Ji continued. "As for the Hunters, we belong to an organization called the Warband, responsible for the construction of the defense zones in the civilized worlds, and resisting the destruction of the seeds of disaster. As you can see, this city is the defense zone I am responsible for. Because of a cosmic channel binding, when the Preacher and the seeds of disaster come to this civilized world, they are only be limited here. That is, my defense zone. This is the reason why the disaster occurred one after another. Once the zone is fallen and I die, the protective film isolating the zone from the outside world will disappear and the seeds of disaster will begin to infect the whole world."
"Please continue."
Li Nian raised his hand and gestured to Wang Ji to continue.
"The problem I am facing now is the intervention of your troops in my defense zone. After you entered my defense zone, you brought in an excessive amount of weapons, which led to the source of infection of the weapon ghosts. I am able to successfully defend the defense zone during this preaching war due to the help of two allies from two other worlds. But if the crisis like today happens again, I am not sure that it can be solved. After this disaster, you should move the population here away. Here I need to tell you a very important message, that is, the population of a defense zone is at least 100,000. Once it is lower than this number, the zone will be disqualified to use the cosmic channel binding, and the Preacher can choose the city to attack as he pleases."
Li Nian crooned and said. "Then he may also attack important cities in other countries."
"Yes." Wang Ji replied. "Once my defense zone is disqualified, he is free to choose the city. Maybe it is Washington, maybe London. But if the Preacher prefers a city with more people, he will choose Beijing or Shanghai." Li Nian frowned and turned back to look at Wang Si. He turned his head and looked at the fire curtain in front of him. "Please continue."
"I can choose to evacuate this zone." Wang Ji said indifferently. "This time I have got a subordinate Hunter. I can evacuate the defense zone here and settle in his world. His world has an advantage over in Preacher wars. If I go there to preside over the zone, it can alleviate a lot of burdens. The purpose of talking to you today is to confirm whether you want the zone to exist. If so, you must ensure that the population of the zone is above 100,000. If not, I will evacuate."
"We can't listen to your side at this point."
Li Nian said firmly.
"But I need to confirm immediately if we can cooperate." Wang Ji said. "The Preacher didn't mention his attacking time, which means he may come at any time. The judgment is handed over to you. I only ask for a reply before by 8 a.m. the next morning. I will go to the world of my subordinate Hunter tomorrow. If you are willing to cooperate, then I can bring your staff together. After all, these two worlds will have a deep cooperation in the future. As a sincerity, I will hand over the spoils obtained in the preaching war and the right to use the War Fortress to you. If you refuse, I will not come back after I leave."
"I'll try my best."
Li Nian took a deep breath and he was keenly aware that the contact he had to make had been done. Now there was nothing to talk about. "We will contact you by 8 o'clock the next morning, if your walkie-talkie is still there." Li Nian said and he stepped back behind the car, then opened the door and sat in.
"When did my brother Wang Ji come back?"
In the meantime, Wang Ji, who sat in the car, talked.
Wang Ji was slightly surprised. He thought that this contact was over. After all, the information he should say has already been said. The next step was the time for the national elites to discuss and make decisions, but he did not expect that Wang Si suddenly came up with such a sentence in the car.
"You kidnapped him, how can it be the basis of cooperation?"
Wang Si continued to ask.
Wang Ji said. "He lives in a city in another civilized world. He is very good, it is really the basis of cooperation. He will come back after the situation is stable. Is there anything else to ask?"
Wang Si talked to the guy in the front seat.
The military vehicle was launched and left Mrs. Isa's Mansion.
In the car, Li Nian frowned and asked. "The Hunter kidnapped Wang Ji? When? How don't I know what?" "I didn't know it until this morning." Wang Si calmly answered.
"That's a problem." Li Nian looked out the window and said. "When he last saw him, he was still a child. This situation is a bit complicated. The Hunter seems to know something, otherwise…"
"Uncle Li, I am going back to Beijing tonight."
Wang Si suddenly said, the tone was firm.
"Well, I will arrange it for you right away."
That night, Beijing.
Wang Si, fatigued with the journey, rushed back to her institute.
The lights have not yet turned off, and the on-duty researchers stood up immediately after seeing Wang Si. "President…"
"How is the experimental body No. 3?"
Wang Si put on her overalls and interrupted.
"He already woke up and can move."
"Take me to see him right away."
Liu Guobang sat quietly by the window, watching the woods and moonlight outside. The door suddenly opened, the light was on, and Wang Si came in. "How is your rehabilitation coming along, Leader Liu?" Sitting calmly at the bed, she asked with a smile.

Beary Language Got a Dictionary Recently. Here Is a Glimpse Into This Little Known Language
Spoken by the Muslim population along the Mangaluru-Udupi coast and Manjeshwara in Kasargod, Kerala, this language has a history that spans 1200 years.
Post author:Amulya B
Post category:Culture / Karnataka / Language
If you take a trip along the coastlines of Karnataka and Kerala, the number of languages and dialects to be heard will leave you spellbound. For instance, Karnataka's official language Kannada takes many shapes and forms as you move away from the capital, Bangalore. Popular culture has familiarised people in the state with some of Kannada's variants, as well as languages such as Tulu, Kodava and Konkani. But, have you heard of a language called Beary?
Spoken by more than 80% of the Muslim population along the Mangaluru-Udupi coast and Manjeshwara in Kasargod, Kerala, this language has a history that spans 1200 years. They also known to have fought against the Portugal and British Imperialism. For a language that has thrived for more than a millennium, you would imagine it has it's own script, right? Not really. While it can be described as a mixture of Tulu, Kannada, Malayalam and even Arabic, its grammatical structure follows Kannada and Tulu. Since the 1950s, the Beary community has made its presence felt internationally, especially in the Gulf and has more than 15 lakh speakers around the world.
Earlier this week, copies of the first ever Beary-Kannada-English dictionary was sold in Mangaluru by the Karnataka Beary Sahitya Academy. With over 20,000 words, the 876-page dictionary is a huge win for the community, who up until now, worried about losing words due to lack of formal documentation. Although a Beary- Malayalam dictionary in Malayalam script, and an English-Beary Dictionary of 2000 words were previously produced, this is the first dictionary that in Kannada script and on such a scale, where the number of words have increased by more than tenfold since the last attempt. Unlike the Beary-Malayalam attempt, which includes words not only from the Manjeshwar region in Kerala, the new dictionary is more comprehensive as it captures words from Kasargod, as well as the coast. In fact, academy chairman B A Muhammed Haneef said social media helped them create a network of the community across the world, who in turn introduced more Beary words used in different regions.
The word 'beary' can be traced back to the Tulu word 'byara' which means trade and transactions. They are believed to be the descendents of ancient Arab traders and the indigenous Tuluvas, also involved in trade and commerce. This is evident as more than 50% of the language has Tulu words.
They are also mentioned in traditional folk songs of Tulunadu, indicating that this Muslim community has always had close ties with the Tuluvas.

Culturally, the Beary people have used both, this language and Kannada to produce works of literary merit. Periodical literary summits are also held to make sure this rich culture is preserved for posterity. In fact, they have their own traditional folk songs and 'ghazals' in the language, like Kolkkali Patt, (sung during the traditional folk dance of Kolaata played with two sticks), Unjal patt (sung when a child is put onto a cradle) and Moyilanji patt (sung during wedding ceremonies). Electronic documentation is helping in their preservation.
With spikes in communal tension across the country, it's easy to forget how culturally connected we are. But languages by their very nature have always been considerate in remembering how much they borrow from each other, and the relationships they have forged. A dictionary, in this respect, legitimizes the existence of that language and provides tangible proof of such connections, which transcended religious and caste lines.

Kate Stokes from CocoFlip
"The Coco Pendant was designed at the beginning of my career and didn't register the design as I had no concept it would be such a huge success. It was my first product shown publicly when I was invited to show it in an exhibition.
In Australia, works of design cannot be exhibited or published (including blogs and social media) before applying for design protection with IP Australia. So I had no other options to protect my work from being copied.
The light had been in a market a short time and was selling very well, but we discovered it had been copied by an Australian company renown for selling badly made knock-offs of original designs that are made in China. The counterfeit designs are then widely distributed by lighting retailers and online stores. It's a massive sales network and impossible for us to defend ourselves.
"We believe in quality not quantity"
Kate Stokes, CocoFlip
Due to copies, our annual financial loss is around $95,000 AUD. As an independent studio – this loss stops us from developing new collections or investing in our business. Because the design wasn't registered (with IP Australia), we have no legal options. Not that we could afford lawyers to fight this.
REPUTATION DAMAGE
We pride ourself on the quality of our work and with so many low-grade copies circulating our reputation has also been affected. There's confusion as to whether we are producing the inferior copies ourselves. Recently a newspaper article compared our genuine product with a copy. It's a shame the media doesn't support Australian designers.
NO 'GRACE' PERIOD
Australian Intellectual Property (IP) law demands products are not shown publicly (internet inclusive) prior to applying for protection. We are one of the few countries in the world with this requirement. Most countries have between 1-2 years 'grace period' - this allows designers to get their products right before launching them commercially.
In Europe and Britain designers market test by showcasing early versions of their designs to get feedback and refine the final product. Australia currently has no 'grace period' "
CASE STUDY 02: Other Australian companies copying our designs
"In 2015 a fellow designer alerted us that an inferior copy of Coco Pendant was exhibited at an industry trade fair, promoted as their own design. Interior designers and retailers ordered large quantities of our copied light. Whilst the brand in distributes the copies internationally, usually referred to as 'Coco Pendant', they use a different name in Australia.
"A considered purchase is a purchase for life"
CASE STUDY 03: Chinese websites use our photography to sell copies of our design
Another designer contacted us after seeing a Chinese company advertising a copy of our Coco Pendant. The company was even using our own photography of our own product! We're a small studio and chasing, objecting, and attempting to enforce our photography copyright is time-consuming and disheartening. And takes us away from our design business."
Kate Stokes established Melbourne-based design studio COCO-FLIP in 2010 with Haslett Grounds.
Coco Pendants are handmade in Melbourne from Victorian Ash and spun aluminium, and have received several notable design awards.

Julia Muench
Bio & Statement Julia Muench is a multi disciplinary and visionary artist based in the Central New Jersey area. Much of her creative focus has been on her own designs and original fiber art work, spanning back to the 1990's. She now works in various mixed media, including but not exclusively, mosaic and collage. Julia's artwork is currently on display at the 2020 Winter Show Exhibit in the Duxbury, MA, Art Complex Center. Her additional art work may viewed at online at https://www.artworkarchive.com/rooms/julia-muench/f74ea2 She received a 2020 Award for her work Birthing of Ideas now on exhibit at the Art Complex Museum of Duxbury, Massachusetts through April 18th. Julia's work reveals her esthetic sense of starting with basic geometric and organic forms, then breaking out of them to build into new structures. Statement: When I am in the process of working on a new piece, I become deeply concentrated into the emergence of the work. This focus may take me to a creative place full of new possibilities. I find that starting out within a set of certain boundaries, can also allow me to break out of them, if I find it makes sense esthetically. Geometric and organic forms hold fascination for me, and I like to work starting with a simple configuration(s), and maybe expand from there. Over time, the results may be surreal, or dream-like. Whimsy, and motion also play a part in my work.
Snow Flower
Snow Flower depicts the bold flowering of the Spirit, despite obstacles, rising out of the icy snow, arriving above as a heroic symbol of LIFE itself.
Ephesians 6:10- 20
is sending the message that through girding one's self with the armor of TRUTH, PEACE and above all FAITH, one can overcome the "firey darts" of the negative dark forces. The visual artist is in constant search of truth, peace and has faith through the pure positive act of artistic creation itself. The pure act of artistic creation, guided in the LIGHT, is a meditation or incessant prayer that overcomes, rise above and wash away the demons of falsehood, hatred, and doubt. My original piece "Snow Flower" is a positive visual symbol of LIGHT and GROWTH depicting the heroic act of overcoming the dark forces, and rising valiantly into TRUTH, PEACE and FAITH.
Julia Muench is the sole designer and creator of the piece "Snow Flower", a mixed media work of art, made of hand dyed fabrics and glass beadwork.
This is an original work of mine. NFS

Historic Black newspapers from across the country to be preserved digitally.
The Chicago Defender was founded in 1905 by Robert Sengstacke Abbott. Within ten years the weekly had become the most influential Black newspaper in the United States. It was a great source of fuel for the Great Migration and campaigned for anti-lynching legislation. It offered unrivaled coverage of the Chicago Race Riot of 1919. Today, digital archivists for the black legacy press are teaming up with Google Arts & Culture to ensure that the Defender's journalism is preserved for many years to come.
The digitalization of the defender is all part of a larger project. The plan is to digitize the archives of Black newspapers from all over the country. Included on the list of newspapers are the Dallas Post Tribune, the Washington Informer, the Afro American and many others.
This project came about when Angela Ford, founder of the "Obsidian Collection" was looking through the archives of the Defender for articles of her grandmother who was a 1950's business woman often featured in the paper. When Ford found the archives were deteriorating, she felt compelled to do something. Angela Ford then founded the Obsidian Collection to start digitizing the images for everyone to use.
This would soon turn into a collaboration with Google Arts and Culture last year. Since then work has progressed and now there are eight free and searchable exhibitions now live on the digital collection. The Defender's collection of photographs alone totals 250,000, capturing an in-depth historical record of Chicago life by black photographers for a black audience.
The work continues and soon these digital collections will include vast quantities of photos and articles relating to all aspects of the Black experience in America. Housing these archives on a Google platform will not only preserve precious documents, but also make them easily accessible to a large audience.

Home Music Alternative A review of St. Vincent's "Masseduction"
A review of St. Vincent's "Masseduction"
Eric Carlson
Seduction, relationships, and pop culture are the name of the game on St. Vincent's new album. "Masseduction" aims to do just that, pulling us into its world with dripping synths and lead singer Annie Clark's sensual voice. Her collage-like songs seem to draw from every area of pop and rock music, providing the perfect backdrop for her exploration of our culture's most indulgent facets.
If anything, "Masseduction" is an intellectual's pop record. Its pristine composition and glistening production taste just like ear candy, and its use of rock style and swagger is all sorts of smart and sensual. Clark has put her finger on the pulse of music's most gratuitous elements, and she seems alive with the energy of it. "Pills," for example, shines with the singalong feel of a playground song even as the words celebrate our culture's obsession with drugs:
"Pills to wake, pills to sleep
Pills, pills, pills every day of the week
Pills to walk, pills to think
Pills, pills, pills for the family"
Interestingly, Clark has her ex-girlfriend Cara Delevingne sing the chorus to "Pills." But after all, love is another drug that we consume with reckless abandon.
"New York" is masterpiece of balladry, smartly balancing a spacious verse that accents the beauty of Clark's voice with a big pop chorus, one that uses a thick rise of texture to lend weight to its words:
"I have lost a hero
I have lost a friend
But for you, darling
I'd do it all again"
Clark's channeling of the pop/rock sound continues throughout the record, as she seems determined to blast our ears with candy-coated synth and heavy guitar. "Young Lover" does just that with a strong chorus and a glam-rock strut that Clark owns with confidence and flair. Her screams at the end feel like the embodiment of love's yearning. She's tapping into pop music's obsession with love (and possible her own obsession). How much of this is personal, and how much is cultural? It seems the two mix on the palette that Clark presents on "Masseduction."
"Slow Disco" is one of my favorites from the record. It begins with just Clark's voice and warm strings, echoing the best parts of indulgent orchestral pop music (think "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve or "Broken Heart" by Spiritualized).
"Slip my hand from your hand
Leave you dancin' with a ghost
Towards the end a ghostly, soulful voice takes over, singing out "Don't it beat a slow dance to death." Just like the tropes and trappings of culture, pop music has been beat to death after years of abuse and superficial nonsense. "MASSEDUCTION" is St. Vincent's ode to the beautiful, decaying machine it has become.
