Season 1. Episode 37. You've got the Avengers, and your Justice League Heroes but did you know we've got some sake superheroes too? This week John and Tim interview Sakeman Red a.k.a Nick Matsumoto. Nick is part of team Sakeman, who describe themselves as "A team of athletic, sake superheroes who import their own brands and educate the masses!" Nick first connected with the Sakeman group through his love of judo. The first thing you'll notice about the Sakeman group is their use of iconic and custom made luchador masks when presenting their stellar sake portfolio of sake from premium producers all around Japan – so their stuff is legit. . As Nick explains in our interview, the masks help draw attention to sake and start the conversation! Or the masks draw an invitation to wrestle! However it turns out, Sakeman is all about good sake. Thanks Nick for taking the time to teach us to work hard, train hard and drink hard!

Welcome to Sake Revolution. This is America's first sake podcast. I am your host, John Puma from the sake notes. Also the administrator over at the Internet sake Discord. Moderator at Reddit's, r/sake subreddit and our resident sake nerd.
Timothy Sullivan: 0:39
And I am your host, Timothy Sullivan. I'm a sake samurai. I'm a sake educator, as well as the founder of the Urban Sake website. And every week, John and I will be tasting and chatting about all things sake and doing our best to make it fun and easy to understand. So, John. You're not going to believe it, but we have an honest to goodness superhero joining us today.
Oh, in the studio. Wonderful. Um, so,
Have you ever heard of a sake superhero before?
uh, think so.
Faster than a speeding bullet train
Would he also be stronger than a double genshu?
and he can leap over Tokyo tower in a single bound. Today. We are welcoming Sakeman red.
Nick Matsumoto: 1:32
Citizens of the sake world.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Sakeman red also known as Nick Matsumoto. Nick. Thank you so much for being with us today. Now Sakeman is a group of guys who do sake sales, and distribution. They have a wonderful portfolio of sakes that they represent, but they do it with a really unique uniform and a really unique look which we're going to talk about today.
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you guys. Very much. I'm excited. I've been looking forward to this, for, I've been listening to you guys's podcasts and, uh, I miss hanging out with you guys out in New York, but when I hear your guys' voices, it feels like I'm back. So thanks again for having me.
I feel the same way, uh, minus the podcast bit, I think that, while we know you're pretty well, we want to, for our listeners at home, Nick give us a little bit of background. How'd you get into sake, all that sort of thing.
Well, to be honest, when I first started with my sake experiences is just having hot sake with my mom. Once I turned 21, she was super excited cause she didn't have to drink hot sake alone. And, uh, one of her first things when I turned 21 was, Oh, good. I don't have to drink sake by myself anymore. So that was my first experience. And then, through my first passion through judo led me to LA and that introduced me to a gentleman named Takuya Shimomura and Victor Huynh, and that was about, let's say Christmas of 2013 And then, after the new year, Victor gave me Takuya san information saying, Hey, he wants to talk to you. And so I was like, Oh, about Sakeman. And he's like, Oh, we'll see. Cause I've, I've already heard about them. I knew that they were doing this crazy job where they get to promote sake They go to, and really nice restaurants and they wear these. Crazy masks, crazy Luchador masks. And that just really appealed to me. And then sure enough, you know, that year on national sake day, October 1st, I was officially hired to start working as Sakeman and then we were, at that time we were Sakmen, one, two and three. We were just numbers.
No colors. Yeah, the original was just numbers. Sakeman. One was Takuya since he was the first and Victor was number two Sakeman green and then myself, which three is my favorite number. Which again, all these good, good signs, right? Starting on national sake day, meeting these guys through judo and then being the third person hired on. but Sakeman really wasn't a brand, so to speak, it was like this cool idea that we got from, Shichida-san, uh, in Saga. He is the sponsor of Mr. Tenzan-man, a pro wrestler in the Saga prefecture who has his own mask and has the "Ten" Kanji on his face. And so Shichida-san brought that mask with him when he would promote sake in the States, because he knew it's fun. You know, and Americans love things that stand out and helped him stand out. And then Takuya and Victor took that ideas like, Oh, we should keep doing that.
Yeah. So for those people who have not heard about Sakeman before, can you describe a little bit about the Sakeman philosophy? So far we've established that, you're selling sake, you're wearing Luchador masks. What's the philosophy behind Sakeman.
Right. Well, like our mission really is to, save the world from just only knowing sake bombs or saving the world from just, boring sake or has like that negative kind of connotation of, thinking that there's only box sake or cheap sake which is great to start, I guess, you know, it keeps your bar pretty low. And then as we get introduced to our brands that we know of, you know, like Hakkaisan on the Sakeman brands and all that, we want to introduce people to a new experience, and save them from. Not liking sake because if you like beer, if you like wine, you'll love sake It's just, you need someone, you need people like you guys, that are there to help hold the hand of the citizen. That's new to sake, so that's kind of like, our driving theme is to bring sake to the world, And then, our core actions are to, work hard, train, hard, play hard, we work hard, to, visit our customers to grow, to develop, to, spread, the good word of sake Um, another thing is that we, try to always train to, have healthy bodies we can continue to do so. Will the, uh, play harder to drink with our friends? You know, we don't want to represent sake In a way where it's like, Oh, we're an unhealthy people. It's going to cause you to be obese or something like that. So, there's a whole mission behind it other than just, Oh, we're here to drink with masks on our face.
so you mentioned the training and you mentioned earlier that your first passion was the judo. How did this judo exactly fit into all this? How did that happen?
Right. So, I've been doing judo since I was seven Takuya Sakeman blue. Our, our vice-president started when he was like in his thirties, like pretty late in life, uh, regular, you know, relatively speaking late in life. Because his doctor was telling him, you need to do something like you're not healthy, you know, and the way you're going, if anyone knows Taku-san, he loves to eat well with friends and have a good time, but, his body wasn't keeping up. So he was introduced to judo, out here in Sawtelle
so, it's almost like taking a Sakeman blues, history as an example of like, have encouraging people to, work hard, play hard and drink hard. he's the example that, that you're trying to bring to other people is like, you can go out there and have the great food. You can drink the great stuff, but you gotta make sure you take care of yourself too.
Right. And so Taku-san, met Victor through judo. And Takuya-san was needing to hire people. And he loved how went in judo. You know, there's this thing called Randori where you're sparring. Right. And you, and you can really get to know someone when you spar with them. You can get to know their personality. Are they strong? Are they overconfident? Are they, very self cautious. Are they polite? Are they rude? Get all these things. Cause you don't have time to think about hiding who you truly are because someone's trying to throw you into the ground. And so Takuya, is really big on hiring judo people because of that relationship. And then in the community, he can ask other senseis, Oh, do you know Victor? Do you know Nick? You know, what do you think about them?, and then I left found out later, Before he hired me. He was talking to Toku-san who later became Sakeman white, but he was asking, Hey, what do you think of Nick? And so it's really big that, we don't demand that you do judo cause we understand. But to start out, that's how we got to know really good people with having to cut out all the waste. We don't have to waste time with conversation. We kind of get to know you within five minutes. Through judo and, through sparring and all that. So that's just kinda became the trend. Right now we can't really do much judo, so we can't use that as like a way to find people, unfortunately. Um, but that's how it started. Our big thing now, at least for me is like, we just want you to have something, an activity you like to do. It could be yoga, it could be hiking, it could be basketball, it could be whatever, but, if you were to work for us, we want you to have that other passion too, that keeps you active and. Keeps you part of a community.
Cool. I've seen you guys. Standing behind a table at sake events and having the masks on the Luchador masks and introducing sake to people. It really does grab attention, but I've always wondered. What is the strangest reaction you guys have ever gotten when you've appeared as Sakeman?
Strangest reaction. That's a great question. Um, it's kind of always the same weird reaction or like we're some guy, usually a guy wants to start wrestling us. But it's like, you know, it's like usually later in the day, when they're, when, after the tastings, as you guys know, people get pretty confident. They're like, Oh, how do I get a mask of like, you have to beat either Sakeman white or blue who are like the biggest Japanese people you've ever met. And, Oh, by the way, Sakeman White's like a six, seven time national champion and so good luck. But people always want to wrestle us. Um, I think is always the main thing. Cause they assume we do wrestling and it's close enough. We do judo. But, yeah, it's not really too weird. It's always, Hey, do you want, can we wrestle you? It's like, I'm not get it.
is such a, that is such an end of the sake event thing to say.
Yeah, pretty much, you know,
Sakeman? Come on, come on.
Yeah. It's always a positive reaction that people are always like, Oh my God, what are you guys doing? What is this? I don't think we've ever had a negative reaction. It's like, Hmm, that's a terrible idea. You know, like, no, one's no one's criticized us that way. Everyone's very,, welcoming with it.
It's very fun too. I mean, that's, that's the point, right? It's really fun.
Nick Matsumoto: 10:03
Exactly but the biggest impact is when we're, a little tiny table at a huge wine expo, right? There's like a hundred different wine providers spread out through this entire banquet room. And there's three cute little sake tables pushed to the side, you know, with usually some, you know, some Japanese person with a Happi coat, apron, a lot of kanji, a lot of banners. And all of that. And, of course events starts, people come in like cute sake's here, but I'm going to go try all of these different wines, but it's like, I'll be right back with the mask on the sudden, you know, people are like, wait, wait, wait, what? I thought this was sake. It's like, Oh, it is, you know, but that gets the conversation going. That gets people's attention. They're like, Oh, I had to come at least ask what you guys are doing over here,
John Puma: 10:46
So, you've been, um, selling sake on the East coast and you've been selling sake on the West coast. Uh how's that been different?
Extremely different, very, very different. I got the job here in LA, but I was only here for about eight months or working for the company for eight months before I got moved over to New York, which I was reluctant at first, but best decision I ever made, I love that on the East coast, everyone's trying to learn more about something. Everyone's very interested in what's new, something they haven't seen before. If, if they go to a restaurant and there's this event going on, they all want to partake. Cause it's something different and exciting possibly. But if you do an event in New York, we'll, let's say like 90% of people that come will participate, uh, LA it's like 10%. Cause, their first reaction is, Oh, I don't drink sake, or, no, I'm just here to eat. Like they, it's not popular. Right. It's not. So there's definitely a struggle, but I don't want to talk bad about LA because they are trying, there are more restaurants wanting to sell more sake get into it. Um, I think a lot of the older generation is starting to pass it on to the younger generation and they don't want their sake menu to look like everybody else's sake menu. Um, but it's, it's crazy like LA, like I say, LA cause San Diego, we just did an event last night in San Diego. They're into the craft stuff. They are into learning. What's new. What's not popular. What, what is something I can't find in all of the Japanese markets? Um, same with like Oregon, you know, Marcus Pakieser doing it has been doing an awesome job up there with changing menus up with getting by the glass on the menus, you know, edgy, you know, being an evangelist out there. So LA is still, a little behind, but coming up, but like places like San Diego and Oregon, and, um, on, as far as the West coast, Are really like the New York style where they want to do new things. They want to try new things. Um, but yeah, it was, it was, um, it was a tough transition coming back to LA I'll say that.
Timothy Sullivan: 12:38
I assume correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume in the before times you got the chance to visit Japan and visit some of the brewers. Is that right?
Yes, that's correct. Uh, every like end of February, we would always take a trip for about a week, two weeks. Yeah.
what were some of your favorite places that you visited in Japan for sake
that's a great question. Cause there's all so different. First of all, what comes to mind is you Yamagata san because he's our president for one and he was one of the first brewers I visited. I'm on my first trip for sake but I remember when I was leaving because I got to know the, the worker the kurabito and I got kind of emotional because it was the first time I really saw how hard it is to make sake because for those that don't know, it's tough. Like I'm surprised sake has made it this long without the younger generation. Maybe I'm not doing that. Um, so that was really, that was really interesting.
What part of Japan was that?
That was in a Yamaguchi.
Oh Yamaguchi. Okay.
Yeah, Yamaguchi and then right next door to him is Harada san, Hatsumomiji. And then that one, I was blown away because it's such a tiny facility, it's just the four people making sake They do it year round. So it's like inside of that facility, it's like year round, winter. So I dunno, they're so different experiences when you visit these brewers. But the most unique, I think hit most, uh, was when I went for the first time and just really saw the hard work it takes, we're there at each brewer for, let's say like two days max, and I'm exhausted. Like if you're not making sake like for, let's say 30% of it is making sake 70% cleaning everything. Right. And trying to squeeze in a rest and a break and a meal. Into it to say, or to see these guys and know that these people are doing it for all of winter, for months on end. And you're like, man, I salute you. Thank you for creating this awesome beverage that makes its way to little America. And, for the most part people enjoy. And that was my mission was to try to express how hard it is to make this, thing, people call sake you know, this,
that's a little bit of that. A work hard play hard. They're working so hard so that we can play.
Right, exactly. So it still falls into our, core action items or whatever you want to call
Yeah, well, speaking of this awesome beverage, One thing we always do during our podcast is we always squeeze in a little tasting of our own. And Sakeman has a portfolio of sakes that you represent, that you are selling here in the States, and we've all brought one of those sakes from your portfolio. So what we'll usually do, Nick, is we take just a second at the beginning and just introduce the sakes we all have. And then one by one, we'll go and taste them. So. Since you're our guest. Nick, why don't you introduce just really briefly the sake
Yeah. All right. Well, I just mentioned this brewery. It's, uh, Hatsumomiji, uh, Mr. Harada, uh, the brand is Harada and it's called the Harada 80. It's a Junmai, that uses a sake Rice has been polished only to 80%. Uh, so tiny little brewery, and very, very unique. We don't call it a tokubetsu. We could, but, uh, yeah, so it's called Harada 80 of my favorite Junmais right now.
Now for our listeners, 80% is not very finely milled. So that's more of a robust rice grain, right? That's kind of unique. That's unique in the world of premium sake So I'm going to really be interested to hear about that and that you mentioned just a moment ago, that's from Yamaguchi prefecture. Right. So, John, what do you have.
uh, I have the Suehiro Junmai Ginjo yamahai. This one is actually from, uh, from Fukushima and Nick, do you have any, any background on this one?
Yeah, so it's interesting. The Suehiro brewery was actually the the brewery that developed the Yamahai style is like back around, like in 1910, uh, gentlemen, uh, Kagi san who was a professor or scientist at the brewery. During the war time, they didn't have the manpower to do Kimoto to which of course you guys know and has most of your listeners know it's very labor intensive. and he discovered that actually, we don't have to mix it. If we just, basically let it sit there, you know, this lots of activity is going to happen anyways, so that, um, that later became known as Yamahai. Of course, the yama-oroshi-haishi meaning stop the mashing. Um, so that was developed at this, at this brewery. Um, and this is their Junmai Ginjo version of that.
Fantastic. And Tim, what are you drinking?
I have a very beautiful sake, it's called Fukuju. And it's from Kobe Shushinkan brewery. It's their Junmai Ginjo. And if you've ever heard of Kobe beef, this is the same famous Kobe region and, it's in Hyogo prefecture. And this is an absolutely delicious, very, very beautiful sake. I'm super excited to get this open.
Ooh, I actually have, uh, empirical evidence that at one point, at least this was my favorite Sakeman sake We'll go into that a little bit later on about how that came about, but, but, I have a history with that one.
so Nick, why don't you, uh, open up that Harada 80.
Okay. Well, uh, I've already been sipping on it, but I think I've got one more. I'm just gonna
Why don't we pretend that we're opening up that harada 80.
You all know the noise and, uh,
Are fully people are great. Don't worry about it.
There. All right. Perfect. Perfect. So I have I've poured myself a fresh pour of Harada 80.
Fantastic. give us a little rundown of the aroma.
Sure of course. Um, so my biggest thing on this one is right off the bat is a lot of pineapple, and a lot of melon, which of course is common, but the pineapple is what threw me off the most, especially with you, if you. Talk to us sake guys, and you talk about rice polishing. And if it's a big number, usually it's going to give you a really ricey, really cereal, a lot of robust flavors, but to have this like super fruity aroma, I feel is pretty rare, pretty unique. for me, that's always what I smell and it's a little bit like a coconut too, but definitely a sweeter aroma. And of course, no additives, they didn't add a little bit of pineapple. They didn't use pineapple yeast by any means, it was just a local yeast and yamadanishiki 80, but it's a Mr. Harada's special touch, that I feel pulls this out. I've asked him and even he was surprised how fruity it came out. Like even he was like, Oh, I didn't know. I could do. Yeah.
I'm stunned. When I hear, that, uh, sake, that has rice only milled to 80% can be fruity. that's a bonkers to me. That's amazing.
Yeah, definitely. And I remember the first time I drank it, I was with him at, uh, one of our sake expos. I just gave him a hug. It's like, I don't know how you do it, man, but you make some insane and he's like, Oh gee, thanks. You know? Um, and a quick side note to that, like I mentioned, there's only four people that work here. three of those people are female, two of those females graduated from a high school that offer sake making courses. So for me, I think everything comes into play with making sake especially like the energy that's in the environment. So to have this younger generation making sake could have had something to do with these youthful younger flavors coming out in the sake too. I dunno, but I feel like that definitely came into play.
Interesting. I will, uh, take my turn now.
It's always a sound of a good time. Once you hear the bottles crack.
So John you've got that Suehiro Junmai Ginjo Yamahai
right., usually, the aroma that I get on a Yamahai is very earthy and that's not what I'm getting from this. This is a little bit lighter on the nose and a little bit. Definitely a little bit fruitier, more bright,
yeah. And with Suehiro too. they're known for their, their own special yeast, basically. So it's not a kyokai yeast. Um, it is what they saved for generations and generations in this deep freeze. And anytime they need more, they just kind of pluck a little bit out, then cultivate that. So you're, you're tasting what probably the samurai yeast to what the samurai
tasting. This is very interesting though. It not. the aroma led me to believe it was going to be a little bit lighter. I think I mentioned that it didn't come across very earthy. But when I sip on it, I, that earthiness is there, but being milled down to 55%, this is actually, gohyakumangoku, rice. That's milled down to 55. It's still like really like refreshing and bright it's. Um, there is that bit of that, that soft earthiness to it. little, a little bump of acidity at the end there it's really nice. It's very well balanced, and this is going to be something that, I think would really go well with food. I think I'm doing myself a slight disservice by just sipping it, but, uh, this is really nice stuf
yeah, it's interesting with Yamahai, you know, when Yamahai is handled in a very, careful way, it can add a depth of flavor. It's not necessarily going to be earthy or. Bold Yamaha has that reputation and it can be very bold and robust but if it's handled with a very deft touch with a very gentle touch, I think you can get a nice depth of flavor, but it doesn't overwhelm. It just, it gives you an added dimension to the sake That's really lovely.
Yeah, this is still very, very soft. Like this is still, even though it's Yamahai. And again, that Yamaha presence is there, but it's not. Overwhelming. And it's not the, it's not the only thing that you taste when you taste. It is, there's a lot more to offer on this. This is really nice. Uh, now Tim, I think it is your turn to, to open up that, Fukuju.
Yes. So I have, this is again from Kobe in Hyogo prefecture. I have the Fukuju. Hmm. So this is a very wonderful brewery to visit. I think Nick, do you have the chance to visit, the Kobe Shushinkan Brewery?
Yes, I did. I did. That was my first trip as Sakeman.
Yeah, they have a wonderful brewery, beautiful gift shop, and they also have an amazing restaurant right on the brewery. So when you go there, you can visit the gift shop. You can do a little tour and they have tours available in different languages too. So it's a very open to people to come and visit. And the restaurant is amazing. You can get this amazing kaiseki food and. Oh, my gosh, the variety of sakes they have right there at the brewery to pair with the food. It's like, it's a little slice of Hyogo heaven for me whenever I visit there. It's just so wonderful. So this has, bringing back a lot of memories smelling this, it has a very wonderful fruity characteristic, and I think that's something that is well known for this sake that it's very luscious and very fruity, very engaging.
And that's also the, uh, official toasting beverage at the Nobel prize banquet as well in Stockholm. So it's definitely crowd friendly. it's my go-to for like first time sake drinkers, yeah. And to go back to your main point. Yeah, cool. kobe shushinkan is a very tourist friendly, brewery, it's not out in the sticks, so to speak. I can't recommend them enough because of how much you can learn from them and experience
one of these days. I'm gonna get over there guys one day, someday.
once this little pandemic.
Yeah, exactly, real quick though, my empirical evidence is that a few years back, I attended a Sakeman hosted blind tasting yes, the sake masquerade and it, and it included, every sake that was in the portfolio at the time. this was the sake that I enjoyed the most in a completely blind tasting environment. And I was surprised, cause I totally thought it was gonna be a different sake but I ended up being a coming out of that, learning a lot about my personal tastes, guys, if you at home, have the opportunity to do any sort of blind tasting, I cannot recommend it enough. It's a amazing way to learn a lot about your personal tastes without letting things like the milling percentage or the classification or where it's from get in the way. Packaging right there. It's purely just you and the sake and you don't know what it is and you're just tasting it and enjoying it and giving yourself an honest assessment of what you have, how much you're enjoying it, it's a wonderful habit. It's a great thing to do, so Tim, you, we left you off with the aroma there. I should say, i cut you off at the aroma there.
I think the sake is really well known for being approachable, easy drinking, very, very smooth and super clean with a fruity edge to it. That's how I've always described this sake but it's something that I would grab if somebody said, what should I, where should I start? You know, for me, this is a good sake to introduce people To sake with, and it's approachable, it's easy drinking, it's luscious and it's just all around great introduction sake for me. So this is something I always use as a way to get people their first step into sake And, it is just so luscious and really, really delicious that it's, I would say irresistible in many ways for me.
That all checks out. So, Nick, real quick question though,
masks, they're a big topic these days. Um,
definitely. Ours are the opposite of what you're supposed to be wearing.
All right. Well, I just, that is true. But you guys were ahead of the, game with mask wearing
I dunno. it's interesting now to have to wear masks on masks when we do our events, so yeah, I mean, I feel. I don't know, like a hipster in a way that yeah, we were wearing masks before they were cool. And the right thing to do, excluding Asian countries in America, we made, yeah, we put the mask game on the map, I guess, so to speak.
So when you do wear masks on mask, which how do they go? How do you layer them? What goes on top?
So it's funny because before we had to, like, we put that Sakeman mask on and then stuff, our cotton mask, like underneath it, it was really uncomfortable. But last night we had the, I don't know the special ones that can just go over the face. Better. They don't have to go around your ears. They go around the neck and the head. So we use those now. There's even this little like extender piece I got, from my girlfriend, because my head is enormous and sometimes masks. Yep. And that works perfectly too for going around the mask. So yeah, we found our work around, I don't think we're going to go ask Japan to make custom, make us, COVID approved Sakeman masks because the whole point was to make sure we can drink and wear a mask at the same time. So.
Well, I think that that's amazing. You guys get, extra points for like really adapting and, making the best of a really tough situation without giving up on the masks. I love it.
No. Of course, of course, yeah, even toku san like would put like a little custom Sakeman stamp on his cloth mask to make it a Sakeman mask. Super creative. Yeah. So, I mean, we might start doing that for the, for the fans of Sakeman that want a quote Sakeman mask. We'll give them that one.
I have, I am, uh, you don't have to sell me on, on sake swag.
Indeed. That's always, that's one of my, uh, my dreams is to have some more Sakeman swagger to just start selling or hand out at events or whatever, but we'll, we'll stick with sake for now.

Netflix released Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, which presents an intimate look at her historic 2018 Coachella performance that paid homage to America's historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Interspersed with candid footage and interviews detailing the preparation and powerful intent behind her vision, Homecoming gives a peek into the process and emotional physical sacrifices it took to conceptualize and execute a performance of that magnitude that became a cultural movement. This stand-alone Netflix original is now available globally on Netflix.
As the first black woman to headline Coachella, Homecoming recognizes the African American visionaries who inspired Beyoncé, including HBCU alums Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, activist Marian Wright Edelman, and scholar W.E.B. Du Bois, in addition to cultural luminaries such as Nina Simone, Maya Angelou, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Audre Lorde. Beyoncé's personal knowledge of the relevance and celebration of HBCUs started with her father, Mathew Knowles, an alumnus of Fisk University.
Shot over eight months, the film follows the global entertainer as she returns to the stage after the birth of her twins, highlighting the comprehensive preparation involved in creating her groundbreaking performance, which included four months of band rehearsals followed by four months of dance rehearsals with over 150 musicians, dancers, and other creatives, — all of whom were hand-picked by the artist herself.
In juggling dual roles as both the director of her live performance and the film that captured the process of making it, Beyoncé says, "It was one of the hardest jobs I have taken on but I knew that I had to push myself and my team to go beyond great to legendary. We knew nothing like this was ever done on a festival level before and it needed to be iconic beyond compare. The performance was an homage to an important part of African American culture. It had to be true to those who know and entertaining and enlightening to those who needed to learn. In making the film and re-telling the story, the purpose remained the same."
Many in the cast; band, singers, dancers and steppers are former HBCU students, immersed in the HBCU marching band tradition. They joined Beyoncé's own group of performers, some who have toured with her for years. Viewers not only get to see the intense dance rehearsals and talent of these amazing artists, but hear their personal journey from HBCU student to artist and the lifelong impact that comes with performing alongside Beyoncé in this historic concert.
"So many people who are culturally aware and intellectually sound are graduates from historically black colleges and universities, including my father," she says in the film. "There is something incredibly important about the HBCU experience that must be celebrated and protected."
As a treat to her fans, the film also includes, in the end credits, her remake of "Before I Let Go" by Frankie Beverly and Maze, a 1981 R&B classic that's commonly performed at HBCU games. The single will be available on the film's soundtrack, Homecoming: The Live Album, available today from Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. smarturl.it/BH9102
Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé was directed and produced by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. Longtime collaborator Ed Burke served as co-director. Steve Pamon and Erinn Williams are executive producers.

Beyoncé's Homecoming
Writers: Vaughn Lowery, Tara McDonough, Stella Iman Dugall
Every once in a while pop culture encounters a rip in its continuum. The latest breach comes from one of the most effervescent entertainers of all time, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles Carter, as the first Black female to headline one of the most prolific festivals since the iconic Woodstock. Introspective yet intimate, Homecoming is positioned to be one of the most immersive concert series in the history of music and streaming services. Beyoncé, the Director and Executive Producer of the film, creates a visually captivating story from the beginning to end. The documentary answers a plethora of questions, at which the infamous Beyhive has had about the historical moment.
With intermittent quick cuts of her family before, during and after the epic performance, Beyoncé gives herself permission to exhibit her vulnerability. After all, she planned to take the stage at Coachella in 2017 before she was pregnant with her twins. The tour was postponed and we fast forward to 'Mrs. Carter' having to deal with the aftermath of a complicated pregnancy, which ultimately ends in a c-section. Similar to friend, and professional tennis superstar, Serena Williams, Beyoncé bounced back harder than ever after her tough pregnancy. Throughout the piece she digs deep and pummels through some of the most difficult days she has ever encountered. She even speaks to her weighing 218 lbs and how she was only able to zip her costume up after months of hard work alongside of a dedicated clean/raw food diet – no meats, carbs, sugars. The director of photography expertly captured an extremely intimate and vulnerable side to the strong and flawless Queen Bey.
Having family members as graduates of some of the prominent HBCU (historically black colleges and universities), Beyoncé was able to tap into the most celebrated moments of their collegiate life. Her full show not only highlighted the history of these schools but also their social networks and fraternal organizations; transforming the stage into one of the most dynamic Black Southern spaces of cultural legacy and pride. Much of it was enunciated with their boot dancing, a traditional dance style for HBCU called J-Setting, in between transitions. These dance formations visually anchored the performance. Contortionists contributed an urban Cirque du Soleil vibe to the display which can be more accurately described as an infused gumbo of Chicago (the musical), Moulin Rouge! and the Off-Broadway play Stomp. To date, the pyramid stage has been persevered onsite at this year's Coachella as an art installation.
A group of 200 people shared the stage with Queen Bey including Jay Z, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Solange Knowles. The expansive crew that Beyonce worked and practiced with for 8 months is featured in the documentary, as each individual had their own part in making the event a success. The dancing in her set is not technical, but emotional. The crowd, as well as audiences watching the documentary at home, are meant to feel something from just the way Beyoncé and her dancers, who she handpicked herself, move with each other. The concert experience not only exhibits the immense talent of HBCU musicians but works towards using this heightened exposure to aid these institutions that have been struggling with little resources and grants since their establishment.
After the the release of Homecoming, Netflix will more than likely notice a spike in downloads/subscriptions; Beyonce will notice an increase in her fan base and HBCU enrollment rates will most likely skyrocket. Overall, most audience members will be thrashed into a world of black honor, history and preservation. While the Pew Report notes that there is a varying "black/white digital divide" concerning internet usage, (87% whites, 80% blacks), there is little divide when it comes to mobile platforms. The growth of black presence in media, such as on social media, in streaming services and more, will only continue due to the imminent success of Beyoncé's partnership with Netflix. Her myriad of success as a dominant Black woman breaks down barriers in the same way Jordan Peele has done for young Black filmmakers across the diaspora. This will become one of the most treasured pieces of mass media and should offer encouragement to both women and minorities to bust through the glass ceiling on all fronts especially digitization and technology.

ANDREW LLOYD: THE PLATINUM COLLECTION
In celebration of his 70th birthday, ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER UNMASKED: THE PLATINUM COLLECTION was recently released through UMe / Polydor.
As one of the most successful composers of the modern era, Andrew Lloyd Webber's repertoire includes some of the world's most celebrated musicals; Sunset Boulevard, Cats, Aspects Of Love, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Starlight Express, The Phantom of The Opera, School of Rock and Love Never Dies – to name but a few.
Last year, Lloyd Webber became the only person to equal the record set in 1953 by Rodgers & Hammerstein with four shows running concurrently on Broadway (Sunset Boulevard, Cats, The Phantom of the Opera and School of Rock). Two of his shows are currently running in both Broadway and the West End: School Of Rock and The Phantom of the Opera, and his musicals have grossed more than $13.6 billion and have been watched by 302 million people across 44 countries. He has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide.
The collection is personally curated and overseen by Lloyd Webber to include classics from his earliest work starting with Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat through his most recent School of Rock.
Of the new album, Lloyd Webber says: "I owe everyone involved in putting this compilation together a huge thank you. A vast amount of thought has evidently gone into selecting tracks from my almost fifty year old career. This compilation brings back a heap of memories – it has made this ancient composer very happy. I particularly love the new tracks and of course I love the orchestral suites. There's nothing a composer likes more than hearing their melodies played by a cracking orchestra."
Newly recorded songs from superstar artists Lana Del Rey ("You Must Love Me", Evita), Nicole Scherzinger ("Memory", Cats) and Gregory Porter ("Light at the End of the Tunnel", Starlight Express) and add to the collection of his cherished works from the past five decades.
Of Lloyd Webber, Lana Del Rey says, "Andrew Lloyd Webber has been one of my primary inspirations in music, so to do a cover of one of his songs is a dream."
Gregory Porter also expresses his admiration, "Andrew is an icon of not only musical theatre, but he's an icon of music, our culture, and of our human experience."
The Cats classic "Memory" by Nicole Scherzinger is available now as an instant grat track. Of being on the album, Scherzinger says, "Andrew's music absolutely influenced me as an artist… It's hard for me to fathom that I'm a part of one of Andrew's career defining albums. That is in itself career defining for me. It's a dream, and a lifelong accomplishment."
The set also contains recordings by world-class performers such as Barbra Streisand, Madonna, Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman, Michael Ball, and released for the first time, Beyonce singing "Learn To Be Lonely" from the 2005 Academy Awards with Lloyd Webber accompanying on piano.
UNMASKED: THE PLATINUM COLLECTION is available as 2 CD and 4 CD editions. The 4-disc version contains an exclusive 40-page book with a personally penned introduction from Lloyd Webber and in-depth notes on each track, written by respected theatre critic and Lloyd Webber biographer Michael Coveney, together with tributes from Barbra Streisand and Glenn Close among others.
The fourth disc encompasses a mix of overtures and showstoppers from Lloyd Webber's key works, as well as newly created orchestral suites. The five new orchestral suites have been specially prepared from existing recordings, emphasising the grand orchestral aspects of his work. All CDs were mastered at Abbey Road Studios.
Lloyd Webber's productions have sold more than 330 million tickets worldwide. The Phantom of the Opera is the longest-running show on Broadway and second longest-running show in West End history. Cats and The Phantom of the Opera are two of Broadway's four highest grossing shows. The Phantom of the Opera original cast album is the No. 1 Broadway album of all time in the U.S. and the #175 biggest seller among ALL albums of the SoundScan era in the U.S. In addition to his worldwide sales and audiences, Lloyd Webber has been recognised by critics and peers with numerous accolades and awards including seven Oliviers, seven Tonys, three Grammys, one Golden Globe and an Oscar.

Critically acclaimed actor Lakeith Stanfield (Get Out, Atlanta, Come Sunday, Sorry To Bother You, The Girl In The Spider's Web) wowed viewers when he walked the red carpet at the 90th Annual Academy Awards ® wearing a custom-made sustainable tuxedo made by Ermenegildo Zegna Couture. The look was styled by Michaela Erlanger and worn in support of Suzy Amis Cameron's Red Carpet Green Dress ethical fashion campaign.
The tuxedo is a navy Tussah Silk, which is sturdier than cultivated silk. Typically gathered in the jungle from cocoons of wild silk moths, the silk is found in a natural state with minimal human intervention and very little invasion to the process. For this reason, unlike a silk yarn produced with greater mechanical interventions, the yarn of Tussah silk features irregularities creating a rich texture, typical of wild, natural breeding.
In 2009, Amis Cameron created Red Carpet Green Dress with the goal of creating awareness for the importance of sustainable practices in fashion. Each year, Red Carpet Green Dress works with international designers to create sustainable eveningwear to showcase during the Academy Awards®.
To qualify as a Red Carpet Green Dress eco-conscious garment, each piece must either be made from recycled, organic or repurposed materials, use hand-made detailing or incorporate natural dye processing – always with a focus on minimal negative impact on the environment, and environmentally and socially responsible design.
Also supporting the sustainable lifestyle are RCGD 2018 partners, TESLA and Absolut Elyx. Absolut Elyx is a company that is built on the principles of quality, integrity and true craftsmanship. Every copper purchase in the Elyx Boutique, allows the luxury vodka company to provide safe water to more than 100,000 people worldwide with the help of Water for People.
It is because of their help along with annual contests that financial security can be provided to MUSE School CA. MUSE School CA is an environmental non-profit educational organization Amis Cameron founded in Calabasas, Calif. with her sister Rebecca Amis. This assistance enables students to access a transformative educational experience. MUSE School CA ensures smaller class sizes, personalized instruction and learning practices; all set within an inspiring and beautiful campus. Through these key elements, MUSE School CA paves the way in creating leaders of the future.

After two reviews of books that had the potential to offend, here's a completely user-friendly Hanukkah story. The only shortcoming is that it errs on the side of too bland. The kindness/neighborly love theme could have been set at any holiday, but happened to be set at Hanukkah. And while the book does come equipped with a latke recipe, it does not explain any aspect of Hanukkah, not its source, not the reasons behind the traditions, nothing.
So why bother? Because it is a genuinely sweet tale of a girl who reaches out to her neighbor. When Rachel's family runs short on potatoes for latkes, she dashes next door to borrow from Mrs. Greenberg. To thank the older woman, Rachel invites her to Hanukkah, but Mrs. Greenberg declines. This continues as Rachel needs to borrow more and more items for her family's celebration and Mrs. Greenberg continues to stubbornly decline Rachel's invitations. Rachel finally figures out how to out-stubborn Mrs. Greenberg, and of course, latkes are enjoyed by all.
This is a simple and fairly quick read, which may be best enjoyed by younger children. It's also good for classrooms where it may be safer to focus on how family's celebrate holidays rather than on religion.

Google App's Visual Search Feature Revealed In Teardown
By Dominik Bosnjak June 12, 2017, 8:08am
A teardown of the latest build of the Google app revealed the existence of a feature called Visual Search that's already somewhat functional, with XDA Developers being able to get the app to run some of its relevant code. As evidenced by the screenshots in the gallery beneath this writing, the app's Visual Search is somewhat reminiscent of the Google Lens service that the Alphabet-owned company introduced at the latest iteration of its Google I/O developer conference earlier this year and possible traces of that solution have already been uncovered in one of the previous beta builds of the Google Android app. However, the newly revealed functionality likely isn't Google Lens or is simply an extremely early build of the thereof as it lacks any kind of features powered by machine learning and general artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that the aforementioned solution is said to boast, in addition to having a different interface.
The experimental build of Google's Visual Search supports ten categories entailing general filters like clothing and products, as well as more specific ones such as shoes, sunglasses, dogs, flowers, and barcodes. Half of the main interface of the service amounts to a viewfinder situated above the category list and below a Google logo accompanied by a "beta" label. The feature itself still isn't completely functional, though its code and limited testing reveal some more details about the manner in which it operates; search results are presented in the form of a card list that users are able to swipe to the side in order to expand and shrink it, with all of the results being hyperlinks leading to Google Search. Apart from the regular Web Search, the service also shows some traces of the company's Image Search, providing users with the ability to navigate directly to the source of any image they are presented with.
As for the action of performing a search itself, users are expected to tap on any area of the viewfinder that they want to scan and can also quickly enable their phone's flash from the main interface. The experimental build of Google's Visual Search reportedly doesn't work with real-life objects and can only scan 2D images, while the Mountain View-based firm has yet to officially detail the functionality. More details on the availability of the Google app's upcoming feature will likely follow in the near future.

Conservative Leaders to Trump: Ozerden Wrong for Appeals Court
Oliver Douliery/Getty
Ken Klukowski
22 Aug 2018 Washington, DC
WASHINGTON, DC – Conservative leaders are sending word to the White House that a judge the establishment would like to see President Trump nominate to the Fifth Circuit appeals court has a record showing he is not committed to constitutional conservatism, and thus would be expected to disappoint the president's supporters by ruling against the president's conservative agenda.
Controversy is building around Judge Halil Suleyman Ozerden, a federal trial judge in Mississippi. Word has gotten out that some senior Republicans are pushing the White House to elevate Ozerden to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which covers Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.
There are 17 seats on the Fifth Circuit. President Trump has appointed five judges to that court, all of whom are already standing out as epitomizing his promise to appoint judges in the mold of the late Justice Antonin Scalia. A recent Second Amendment case where all the judges weighed in showed that the 16 current judges on the Fifth Circuit are often tied 8-8 on critical constitutional issues.
There is one final open seat on that appellate court for the president to fill. The GOP establishment is pushing Ozerden, and now the president's supporters and conservative leaders from Fifth Circuit states are pushing back.
"No violation of religious liberty and conscience rights in recent years is more infamous than when Obamacare ordered the nuns of the Little Sisters of the Poor to violate Church teachings," says Susan B. Anthony President Marjorie Dannenfelser exclusively to Breitbart News, referring to the judge's ruling in Catholic Diocese of Biloxi v. Sebelius. "Judge Halil Suleyman Ozerden has utterly failed to protect people of faith against Obamacare's assault on religious liberty and conscience rights and does not deserve a promotion to the Fifth Circuit."
Judicial Crisis Network Chief Counsel Carrie Severino wrote an article exploring several Ozerden cases over the years. She tells Breitbart News that Ozerden's judicial methodology:
stands in sharp contrast to the president's outstanding picks for the Fifth Circuit in particular, who are committed to interpreting the Constitution as originally written and to rigorous textual analysis in interpreting federal law.
"It's no longer business as usual with America's activist judges, so it can no longer be business as usual in choosing America's judges," said American Family Association President Tim Wildmon, which is headquartered in Mississippi. "We must choose committed constitutionalists who will fight to set the American judicial ship right, and Judge Ozerden has proven by his record not to be that."
"The last thing the Trump team needs is swamp guides to help them pick their judges," says Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, who lives in the Fifth Circuit state of Louisiana. "The president and his team are making tremendous strides in reining in America's activist courts by nominating solid constitutionalists to the bench."
"They should not change course now, as the record suggests the nomination of Ozerden would be," Perkins added.
If President Trump nominates a proven originalist to the Fifth Circuit, that southern appeals court will become the first one in the nation with a reliably conservative majority, one that could be key to sustaining critical parts of his agenda that are currently being challenged in court.
"President Trump has a historic opportunity here to create an appellate court majority that is faithful to the Constitution as it is written, whether the issue is the Second Amendment, immigration, or a host of other issues," says Ken Blackwell, who serves on the board of directors of the National Rifle Association and other conservative organizations. "I very much hope the president nominates a proven originalist to the Fifth Circuit, and seizes this moment to cement part of his legacy."

Our current, longstanding campaign focuses on A6 cycle lanes and road safety.
Black spots and close shaves – our campaign for spring 2016 to encourage cyclists to report dangers and incidents
City Centre cycling – a success story!
Heysham Moss Link – a partial success in that this proposed route has been included in the Transport Masterplan 2016, but we will need to keep our eye on it.
DETAILS BELOW
1. A6 CYCLE LANES AND CYCLE SAFETY
Latest news: March 2017
Dynamo has been campaigning for safety improvements on the A6 for several years. We stepped this up in December 2014 when we wrote to Lancashire County Council about the awful accident statistics and demanded action. We then worked up a list of improvements, together with the Council's Road Safety Manager, in April 2015. The significant improvements needed relate to the junctions where accidents have occurred, as well as minor lining and signing updates. In all this time, the Council has managed only the lining and signing and has even back tracked on promises to complete the work.
Dynamo launched an official petition on the County Council's website and got 733 signatures in support.
This started out as a campaign for continuous, high quality cycle lanes along the A6 between Lancaster city centre and Lancaster University/Galgate and has expanded into a general safety campaign.
The current alternative 'official' route to this main artery, between two of Lancaster's busiest sites, is hilly, circuitous, and in parts the traffic can be more awkward to negotiate than on the A6, so it is not well-used. The A6 is used by most confident cyclists, as the most direct route, but is off-putting for those less confident.
Proper provision would enable far more to cycle, reducing congestion and improving the health of students, staff and visitors to the University, as well as residents on the A6 through greater activity levels and lower pollution.
You can read the April 2014 press release.
Our e-petition for A6 cycle lanes closed on 23 October 2014 with 207 signatures.
We have since learned that this stretch of the A6 is Britain's most dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. We are following this up urgently with the County Council. See the blog under "safety" or "A6" for the latest updates.
2. BLACK SPOTS AND CLOSE SHAVES
Dynamo wants to see improved conditions for safer cycling. You can help by reporting incidents and problems to the relevant authorities and keeping us informed so that we can lobby more generally.
Serious crashes. These should be reported to the police: 999 if necessary or 101 if it is less urgent. Take as many notes as possible or ask a sympathetic bystander to do so.
Near misses such as being overtaken too close or having to take quick evasive action to avoid a vehicle pulling out in front of you. Make a note of the details and report it to the Road Justice website – http://www.roadjustice.org.uk/report. You should also report it to the police – Lancaster police station phone 01524 596649, email NPT@lancashire.pnn.police.uk; Morecambe 01524 596985, Morecambe.NPT@lancashire.pnn.police.uk.
Black spots. Potholes, dangerous junctions, blind bends, slippery corners on cycle lanes and paths. Take exact details and report them to either Lancashire County Council's "Report It" website – lancashire.gov.uk/roads-parking-and-travel/fault-search.aspx or to the "Fill that hole" website – www.fillthathole.org.uk
Remember to let Dynamo know – dynamocycle@btinternet.com

3. CITY CENTRE CYCLING: SUCCESS!!!
Our petition to allow cycling outside core hours (when delivery vehicles are allowed) on Lancashire County Council's website closed with 204 signatures. Lancashire County Council finally permitted cycling outside core hours (so, not between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.) from November 2014. See the blog for the history.
4. HEYSHAM MOSS LINK
This proposal is to provide a direct traffic-free link from Heysham via Snatchems and Salt Ayre to Lancaster, eliminating the need to use the Heysham bypass or divert via Morecambe, and making the journey possible for many more people including families with young children (and buggies), whether cyclists, pedestrians or wheelchair users.
Poster showing the proposal
You can download the leaflet for more info or to share with friends offline.
Our petition to Lancashire County Council closed with 2,412 signatures.
Here is a map of the proposed route, showing the direct route Heysham-Lancaster, and the circular recreational route via Morecambe:
Map showing Heysham Moss Link, 9-mile loop via Morecambe, and local schools, libraries and health centres
The good news after all our campaigning is that the Lancaster district Transport Masterplan does include provision for this route.

Bible > Commentaries > Leviticus 24:6
◄ Leviticus 24:6 ►
And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.
(6) In two rows, six on a row.—Better, in two piles, six on a pile. The table on which the cakes are here ordered to be put stood along the northern or most sacred side of the holy place. Like all the sacred furniture, except the Ark of the Covenant, it was ranged lengthways of the sanctuary. It was one cubit and a half, or nine handbreadths high; the surface board or plate was two cubits, or twelve handbreadths long, and one cubit or six handbreadths broad. These twelve cakes were placed one upon another in two piles lengthwise on the breadth of the table. As the cakes were ten handbreadths long, and the table was only six handbreadths wide, the cakes projected two hand breadths at each side of the table.
Upon the pure table.—According to the interpretation which obtained during the second Temple, this denotes that the cakes are to be put upon the table itself, and not upon the hollow golden rods which were on the table to allow the air to pass through to prevent the shewbread becoming mouldy during the week. These hollow tubes are to be placed between the cakes, whilst the cakes themselves are to be put on the table itself and not on the tubes, so as to be raised above the table.
Before the Lord.—That is, the table which stood before the Lord, for it was placed in the sanctuary. The cakes, therefore, which were thus ranged upon it were constantly before God. Hence, not only is the table called "the table of His Presence" (Numbers 4:7), but the cakes are called "the bread of His Presence" (Exodus 25:30; Exodus 35:13; Exodus 39:36). The rendering of the Authorised Version, "table of shewbread," and "shewbread," is taken from Luther, and does not express the import of the names. The names, "the bread set in order," "the sets of bread," and the "table set in order," which were given to the cakes (1Chronicles 9:32; 1Chronicles 23:29; 2Chronicles 13:11; Nehemiah 10:33) and to the table (2Chronicles 29:18) in later times, and which are unjustifiably obliterated in the Authorised Version, are derived from this verse where the cakes are ordered to be ranged in two "sets."
Leviticus 24:6-7. In two rows — One piled above another; and on the top of each row was set a golden dish, with a handful of the best frankincense therein. On the bread for a memorial — That is, in order to be burned upon the altar at the week's end, instead of the bread, in honour of God, or to commemorate his name.
24:1-9 The loaves of bread typify Christ as the Bread of life, and the food of the souls of his people. He is the Light of his church, the Light of the world; in and through his word this light shines. By this light we discern the food prepared for our souls; and we should daily, but especially from sabbath to sabbath, feed thereon in our hearts with thanksgiving. And as the loaves were left in the sanctuary, so should we abide with God till he dismiss us.
Two rows, six on a row - Rather, two piles, six in a pile. On the table, see Exodus 25:23-30.
5-9. take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes—for the showbread, as previously appointed (Ex 25:30). Those cakes were baked by the Levites, the flour being furnished by the people (1Ch 9:32; 23:29), oil, wine, and salt being the other ingredients (Le 2:13).
two tenth deals—that is, of an ephah—thirteen and a half pounds weight each; and on each row or pile of cakes some frankincense was strewed, which, being burnt, led to the showbread being called "an offering made by fire." Every Sabbath a fresh supply was furnished; hot loaves were placed on the altar instead of the stale ones, which, having lain a week, were removed, and eaten only by the priests, except in cases of necessity (1Sa 21:3-6; also Lu 6:3, 4).
Not one above another, but one beside another, as the frankincense put upon each, Leviticus 24:7, shows. The pure table was so called because it was covered with pure gold, Exodus 25:24, and because it was always to be kept very pure and clean by the care of the priests.
And thou shalt set them in two rows,.... The twelve cakes:
six on a row; not by the side of each other, but six upon one another:
upon the pure table; the shewbread table, so called because overlaid with pure gold, and kept clean and bright, Exodus 25:24,
before the Lord; for this stood in the holy place, in the same place as the candlestick did, which has the same position, Leviticus 24:4; of the mystical and typical sense of these cakes; see Gill on Exodus 25:30.
6. rows … row] rather, as R.V. mg., piles. So the word 'shewbread' should be rendered pile-bread in 1 Chronicles 9:32; 1 Chronicles 23:29; Nehemiah 10:33.
the pure table] i.e. overlaid with pure gold (Exodus 25:24). For a reproduction of the familiar likeness of it as depicted on the Arch of Titus in the Roman Forum, see Driver (C.B.) on Exod. at p. 272, or HDB. Art. Music, iii. 462.
Leviticus 24:6
The preparation of the shew-bread and the use to be made of it are described here for the first time; though it had already been offered by the congregation at the consecration of the tabernacle, and placed by Moses upon the table (Exodus 39:36; Exodus 40:23). Twelve cakes (challoth, Leviticus 2:4) were to be made of fine flour, of two-tenths of an ephah each, and placed in two rows, six in each row, upon the golden table before Jehovah (Exodus 25:23.). Pure incense was then to be added to each row, which was to be (to serve) as a memorial (Azcarah, see Leviticus 2:2), as a firing for Jehovah. על נתן to give upon, to add to, does not force us to the conclusion that the incense was to be spread upon the cakes; but is easily reconcilable with the Jewish tradition (Josephus, Ant. iii. 10, 7; Mishnah, Menach. xi. 7, 8), that the incense was placed in golden saucers with each row of bread. The number twelve corresponded to the number of the twelve tribes of Israel. The arrangement of the loaves in rows of six each was in accordance with the shape of the table, just like the division of the names of the twelve tribes upon the two precious stones on Aaron's shoulder-dress (Exodus 28:10). By the presentation or preparation of them from the fine flour presented by the congregation, and still more by the addition of incense, which was burned upon the altar every Sabbath on the removal of the loaves as azcarah, i.e., as a practical memento of the congregation before God, the laying out of these loaves assumed the form of a bloodless sacrifice, in which the congregation brought the fruit of its life and labour before the face of the Lord, and presented itself to its God as a nation diligent in sanctification to good works. If the shew-bread was a minchah, or meat-offering, and even a most holy one, which only the priests were allowed to eat in the holy place (Leviticus 24:9, cf. Leviticus 2:3 and Leviticus 6:9-10), it must naturally have been unleavened, as the unanimous testimony of the Jewish tradition affirms it to have been. And if as a rule no meat-offering could be leavened, and of the loaves of first-fruits prepared for the feast of Pentecost, which were actually leavened, none was allowed to be placed upon the altar (Leviticus 2:11-12; Leviticus 6:10); still less could leavened bread be brought into the sanctuary before Jehovah. The only ground, therefore, on which Knobel can maintain that those loaves were leavened, is on the supposition that they were intended to represent the daily bread, which could no more fail in the house of Jehovah than in any other well-appointed house (see Bhr, Symbolik i. p. 410). The process of laying these loaves before Jehovah continually was to be "an everlasting covenant" (Leviticus 24:8), i.e., a pledge or sign of the everlasting covenant, just as circumcision, as the covenant in the flesh, was to be an everlasting covenant (Genesis 17:13).

A University of California-Davis science professor, Mary Delany, has made an interesting breakthrough in her research. The discovery may lead to a deeper understanding of the genes that cause craniofacial anomalies. From the article, "The researchers focused on a mutation of the gene named talpid2, known to be associated with a number of congenital abnormalities, including limb malformations and cleft lip or palate."

UNITED NATIONS, September 17 -- The Sudanese trip of the UN Security Council, initially slated for early October, is in jeopardy of being canceled. Sudan has indicated that if the Council visits, a meeting and photo opportunity with the country's President would be required.
This week several Permanent Five members of the Council told Inner City Press that their Ambassadors could not meet with Omar al Bashir, due to his indictment by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and genocide.
While this prohibition is presented as a matter of law, three of the Permanent Five are not members of the ICC, and therefore appear under no prohibition from meeting with indictees. Thus it is a matter of choice, of politics and of perception.
A non-Permanent member of the Council that is a member of the ICC but say it would, given the stakes for Sudanese civilians, be willing to go and meet Bashir complained to Inner City Press that so far the discussion of this issue has been confined not even to the full P-5, but rather to the assigned leaders of different legs of the trip as planned: the US (for South Sudan) and the UK (for Darfur).
"Real diplomats don't run scared of photo ops when people are threatened with death," the complainant argued to Inner City Press.
Inner City Press asked the senior US official about this concern and the response was that "We always have conversations about P-5 and those conversations always end up in the larger Council." The US official added that of course, approval of any trip would require the involvement of all 15 member of the Council. But cancellation of the planned trip can be done by a mere two members?
With the high profile September 24 meeting on Sudan at the UN coming closer, some wonder if with the involvement of Sudanese Vice President Taha and US President Obama, the stumbling blocks could be overcome.
Among the suggestions are that some Ambassadors simply stay in their hotel while others meet Bashir, or that they attend but not shake Bashir's hand.
Inner City Press covered the Council's 2008 trip to Sudan (as well as Kenya, Djibouti, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Cote d'Ivoire) and witnessed then US Deputy Permanent Representative Alejandro Wolff, UK Permanent Representative John Sawers and French PR Jean Maurice Ripert meeting with Bashir and other Sudanese officials.
That was then; this is now. Watch this site.
