Northam's Real Offense to African-Americans
By Patrina Mosley
Patrina Mosley is the Director of Life, Culture and Women's Advocacy at Family Research Council. This article appeared on Townhall.com on February 19, 2019.
Raise your hand if you're a white Democrat who has NOT worn blackface.
I'm sure that's a question that went through a lot of people's minds after both the Virginia Governor and the state attorney general admitted to wearing racist costumes in the past.
The irony is that these revelations about a political party for whom the black vote is a lifeline are breaking at the start of Black History Month. Many Americans are still unaware of what blackface is or how it is offensive to African-Americans. In times past, rather than casting African-Americans in acting roles, the entertainment industry would dress their white performers in blackface to portray demeaning caricatures of blacks. This video by the Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History and Culture gives a good overview of the history of blackface and why it is so offensive.
In one sense, the lack of awareness about blackface is a good thing because it demonstrates that we have not had to deal with the issue in a long time. However, no other people group in the United States has endured more humiliation and cruelty than African-Americans, and the original motivation behind blackface carved a deep wound that is still healing. One recent triumph over this expression of racism was the success of Marvel's Black Panther.
It is also interesting that these incidents of racism are surfacing on the heels of states attempting to adopt extreme abortion laws. The two issues go hand in hand—both have successfully demeaned African-Americans.
Days before Governor Northam's yearbook photos depicting him in blackface or KKK attire (he still refuses to admit which one he is in the photo), he took a cue from the Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in calling for late-term abortion. Not content with that, he then doubled down on infanticide! Planned Parenthood hailed him as a "champion" for women's progress for saying that it should not always be necessary to resuscitate a baby who survived a failed abortion attempt.
Besides blackface and KKK hoods, there is nothing more racist than annihilating a people group before they even have a chance at life. As the Rev. Michel Faulkner of New Horizon Church once said, "My people, the African-American people, did not ... endure 300 years of slavery and 100 years of Jim Crow law to face genocide in the 21st century." In New York alone more black babies are aborted than born alive.
The eugenics movement has direct ties to the abortion industry, which has been a leading campaign contributor to the Democratic Party for decades (which has historically been the party of slavery, Jim Crow, and the KKK) in exchange for protecting abortion on demand. Governor Northam's third largest campaign donor is Planned Parenthood, which dished out nearly $2 million to get him elected. Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger, once said, "We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population."
It is no accident that today nearly 80 percent of Planned Parenthood clinics are in minority communities, and, although 13 percent of American women are black, they receive over 35 percent of the abortions. According to the latest census data, just over 12 percent of the U.S. population is African-American, and yet over 30 percent of all 2014 abortions were committed on black babies. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that the African-American population"grew at a slower rate than most other major race and ethnic groups in the country." We have just approached the 400th anniversary of when slaves first arrived in the American colonies. How is it that African-Americans have been a part of this country since 1619and yet still only make up less than 13 percent of the nation?
The pro-life issue should make the African-American community reevaluate what will be their priority issue when heading into the next elections. Regardless of party affiliation, no other political issue is more important than the right to exist.

While running what seemed like a million last-minute errands yesterday there was something very noticeable beyond the traffic and crowds, it was the cold individual holding a cardboard sign on nearly every corner in the city. It put into perspective what is important this holiday season, and it isn't buying the latest overpriced toy or big screen TV. There are so many people out of work, homeless, and/or suffering from an array of physical and mental illnesses that need assistance in our country. We decided to bake a ham this morning and make sandwiches to handout to the hungry souls on Seattle curbs. I am sure our sandwiches will only make small dent, but we hope that this short story inspires you to help someone or do something generous where you live. If we all do this together, every year, the giving spirit of the holidays will cover the nation.
Here are the before and after photos of my $3.99 desk from Goodwill. The desk is not only a perfect fit for the space but it is solid, with clean lines and a warm wood hue. The patina on the surface from being used gives it great character and the modern, no frills chair, also recycled, is a perfect fit. I couldn't be happier.
I cannot tell you how elated we are to have found this gem at, Ballard Goodwill, for the Living Aware office. This simple, solid, well-constructed piece of furniture was $3.99. I am not kidding, $3.99. This desk is an absolute PERFECT fit and we have been able to turn someone else's trash into our treasure. We will show you how to freshen this workspace up into something even better with a few carefully selected accessories as we chronicle our office buildout with the incredible, Prime Asset Group.
By far, 180 South, is the best movie I have seen in a while.

Dancer shines through ability to embrace emotion in choreography
Photo courtesy of Jasmine Singer
Karely Molina Martinez staff writer
From being up on stage performing to behind the scenes choreographing, senior Jasmine Singer embraces her passion for dancing through deep, moving choreography.
Training 12-13 hours a week, Singer finds new opportunities to express herself through dance and choreography, including her current ongoing project, choreographing for the theatre company's musical "Brooklyn." Singer enjoys choreographing because it allows her to get creative, "movement is my way of expressing myself in a way that words can't."
"Dance has always played a huge role in my life," Singer said. "Hopefully I will be able to combine a career in dance and choreography. As much as I enjoy choreographing for others, I still love to perform. I hope that if I have my own dance company someday I will be able to both choreograph and dance in it."
Her latest piece, "Wait for Me," was initially choreographed for the theatre department's "Broadway Night" fundraiser. The piece, inspired by the hit musical "Hadestown," focuses on characters from Greek Mythology to convey their message of love, fear and doubt. Singer relied on the musical's use of strong emotion when choreographing her own piece.
"In general, whenever I choreograph, I am very emotionally driven when I come up with my movements. I like to tell stories with my dance and my choreography. I love how movement and physicalites give such a deeper meaning and another level to stories and emotions that go through them," Singer said.
Dance teacher and artistic director of Dance Company Dana Findley acknowledges the power that Singer is able to convey through dance.
"It's hard to take what you do for yourself and expand it out for multiple dancers," Findley said. "Her junior year having the opportunity to create a piece with a larger group and then this year, her senior year having the opportunity to really dig even deeper into emotion and create a piece from at home for our virtual concert, just shows her growth as a choreographer. She really knows how to tap into emotion, and her audience then feels that."
After training for many years, Singer has adapted to multiple styles which allow her to maximize the number of elements incorporated into each of her pieces.
"I think what's amazing about Jasmine is that she is fabulous at every style, and that is indicative of the training that she has," Findley said. "She has a wide variety of training and dance styles, even though there may be a style that is her favorite, she's trained in so many of them so she has honed her skills in a myriad of styles."
Those around her, like theatre arts instructor and director Karen Chandler, notice the growth progressed by Singer as her training expands.
"Jasmine's ability to analyze plays, analyze musical theater and then move forward in telling the story either while she's on stage dancing, singing, acting or choreographing others, has just really exploded," Chandler said. "If somebody called me and said, 'Hey I really need someone to choreograph a musical,' I could recommend her, even to an adult group, easily."
While Singer favors a career in dance, Chandler considers her a "triple-threat" because of her range of talent in the elements of musical theatre.
"She does it all. She dances, which is probably her strongest of the three: singing, dancing, acting, but I would say acting is 100% her second strongest suit if not equal to her dancing," Chandler said. "Jasmine is, besides being an excellent performer as well as an actor, singer, musical theatre, and of course dancer, she's also an incredible choreographer."
Though Singer's talent through dance may be the most visible, there were times where it wasn't clear that dance would be her future and Singer often questioned whether dance was the right career path for her. After an unforgettable experience, Singer realized that her passion would not only continue through dance but through choreography as well.
"For a while I was convinced that I was going to stop dancing. I didn't enjoy the meaningless movement that was given to me by the teacher I was working with and I was ready to give up," Singer said. "Right before I was going to quit, I went to see a[n outside] dance company perform with my mom and I will never forget my amazement that night. There was something about the way that their dancers moved that made me want to be just like them. They inspired me to keep dancing,"
With college decisions right around the corner, Singer is making sure that she picks the right school for her by factoring in her dance, "It will definitely be the deciding factor when I'm figuring out what my plan will be for next year."
"I originally picked schools because of their dance departments so I would be happy at any of them. Honestly I'm not sure which one I would pick if I had the option, they all have really great qualities," Singer said, "I want to study modern dance and choreography so my decision will definitely be based on the school's dance program. Although the location of the school as well as if they offer business classes will also be influencing my decision."

The dramatic practice of chöd, in which the yogin visualizes giving his or her own sacrificed body to the gods and demons as a way to cut the attachment to self and ordinary reality, offers an intense and direct confrontation with the central issues of the spiritual path. The chöd practices of the Bön tradition, a tradition that claims pre-Buddhist origins in the mysterious western lands of Zhang-zhung Tazig and Olmolungrig, are still almost entirely unknown.

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today, I am going to share with you a card that features products from the All My Love Suite from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog. With Valentine's Day right around the corner now's the perfect time to make those last minute cards for your loved ones. And, why not make it a card that's very special. My card today is one of those type cards. It has a special feature that shows that special person just how much you really care. This simple looking card on the outside has a little special love on the inside. I know that you are wondering what the inside looks like so I am going to share it with you now.
This card looks a lot harder than it really is, and if you have followed my blog you know that's how I roll. I love cards and projects that look complicated but are quite easy. I started out with a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) as my card base. I actually started this card on the inside instead of working on the outside design first. I used the Be Mine Stitched Framelit dies to cut out a stitched edged heart in Lovely Lipstick and Flirty Flamingo cardstock. I used the second die marked in the pictured to cut out the smaller heart from the All My Love Designer Series Paper. I cut 3 hearts to use. I cut the Lovely Lipstick heart in half and then scored the flirty flamingo cardstock heart and the designer series paper hearts in half. I folded and burnished the hearts on the score lines. I then took the designer series paper hearts and glued them to the cardstock hearts. At this point it was time to put the outside heart pieces together. I took the center hearts and glued one side to half of the lovely lipstick heart. Then I glued the other side to the other piece the lovely lipstick heart. Once they were all together I set them aside to dry.
You can see in the above photo how the heart on the inside stands out from the card base. Before adding the hearts I had to stamp and add a few pieces of Whisper White Cardstock. Actually I used two pieces on the inside of the card. The inside measurements are 3 3/4 x 5. At this point I could add the heart in the center that would pop up.
I hope that I have inspired you to give this technique a try. If you need any of the products you have seen today you can pick them up in my online store. I wanted to take a few seconds and thank you for dropping by. Remember that we are in the middle of Saleabration. Where you can earn free products based on either each $50 or $100 you spend.
Below you will find a full list of the supplies that I used for my card today.

P Mac recently completed the cleaning, restoration and sealing of reconstituted red brick on the facade of a house on Shrewsbury Road, Dublin.
To start off, we steam cleaned the entire facade – including chimneys – in order to expose the substrate for evaluation. It is almost impossible to gauge the condition of masonry when the facade is covered in dirt, grime and/or a coating. In addition, damaging pollutants such as carbon dioxide, sulphur and nitrogen oxides accelerate facade deterioration.
Moisture is the primary cause of masonry decay, so cleaning a facade allows the normal transpiration of moisture. Re-sealing, once cleaned with an impregnator that allows the masonry to breathe, is essential.
Once the substrate was exposed, we carried out repairs, mainly mortar repairs and joint replacement. Staining and growth were treated using Tensid Restoration cleaner – the recon stone (reconstructed stone) needed to be treated and retreated until all water run-offs and growth were removed.
Persistent efflorescence (whitish crystaline salt deposits on the surface of masonry) was treated using specialist detergent. The chimneys were also treated with detergents and growth removed. The stone was re-honed where runoffs had badly etched it.
Reconstituted brick is very porous, P Mac therefore recommends that is impregnated with weather seal. This will help with ingress of water on all surfaces, which will prevent dampness and also help with future maintenance. In this case, we also recommended a further coat of Algo to be applied to give this very porous matter even greater protection against growth and staining.

Thoroughly combine the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, remaining ½ teaspoon each chili powder and curry powder, ⅓ cup lemon (or lime) juice, salsa, honey, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the roasted eggplant, lentils and scallions; gently toss to combine. Taste and season with more pepper and/or lemon (or lime) juice, if desired.
Serve the salad on a bed of romaine, topped with mango, nuts, cilantro and the reserved 2 tablespoons scallions.
Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 3, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
To cook lentils, combine ½ cup red or brown lentils in a medium saucepan with 1½ cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat so the lentils boil gently, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 12 to 18 minutes (red lentils cook more quickly than brown). Makes 1½ cups.
To peel and dice a mango, slice both ends off the mango, revealing the long, slender seed inside. Set the fruit upright on a work surface and remove the skin with a sharp knife. With the seed perpendicular to you, slice the fruit from both sides of the seed, yielding two large pieces. Turn the seed parallel to you and slice the two smaller pieces of fruit from each side. Dice into desired size.
What kind of salsa suits the best? I'm planning to make this dish tonight, looking forward after reading all the reviews! Just a question; what kind of salsa suits best for this dish? En fruity one or more a spicy one.. I love spicy food, but i dont know if it fits to this one?
is this to be served hot or cold?
What a nutritious and delicious meal. My husband gave it five stars. Will definitely use this for our next couples beach potluck.
Delicious! This recipe was delicious! My only issue was that I found the oven temperature to be a bit high when roasting the eggplant- it ended up getting pretty brown only half way through the cooking time. Next time I will reduce the temperature.
Loved it! Used cashews instead of peanuts and substituted cumin for some of the chili powder.

$15.6 Million Investment In Parion's Pulmonary Research Program Might Have Huge Impact In Pulmonary Diseases
by Isaura Santos
In COPD, News.
A five-year, $15.6 million award was recently announced for supporting continued research into mucolytic agents developed by Parion Sciences and to enable Investigational New Drug (IND) applications for these molecules. The funding is being provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and will be delivered into The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) and The University of Colorado, Denver (UCD). These grants will support their Pulmonary Research Programs.
Parion Sciences is a company dedicated to the development of new treatments for pulmonary and ocular diseases. It is focused on research, development and commercialization of treatments that could improve and extend the lives of those with innate mucosal surface deficiencies of the airway or eye. The company is currently working on a wide variety of pre-clinical and clinical candidates in several mechanisms of action and approaches.
With this new NIH funding, Parion's drugs will be tested in the pursuit of new answers to these pulmonary diseases. The first year of funding will be awarded to the Centers for Advanced Diagnostics and Experimental Therapeutics in Lung Disease (CADET), totaling $7.7 million dollars. This grant includes $1.46 million for UNC-CH to conduct clinical research based on Parion's mucolytic program in the field of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Cystic Fibrosis (CF). The second CADET grant totals $7.9 million and will be awarded to UCD, with $1.52 million in the first year to support the pre-clinical research on Parion's mucolytic program in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The two CADET grants will be funding 5 years of research with a renewal contract after 2 years and annual reviews.
"As a science driven company, it is gratifying to partner with such premier academic institutions like UNC and UCD to successfully secure the competitive NIH Awards," said Paul Boucher, President of Parion Sciences, in a press release. "The NIH support and the combined expertise of the collaborations boost our innovative mucolytic program as we advance through the pre-clinical stages."
Parion Sciences is developing and testing novel mucolytic agents that are specially designed for targeting the mucus structure and facilitating mucus removal from the lungs, since clearing adherent secretions from the lungs of patients with acute and chronic pulmonary disorders is a priority and an unmet need in healthcare. If they become FDA-approved, the agents will become drugs that might exponentially improve the lives of millions that suffer from COPD, CF, and IPF.

Another week, another feast of gossip and inside info on our Transfer Window podcast.
As usual, Jonny McFarlane was joined by Duncan Castles to discuss Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning transfer to Juventus, the latest on Eden Hazard's future and, the biggest question of all at the moment, what if Big Sam hadn't had that pint of wine?
You can listen to the full pod in the player below:
Wilson signs new Liverpool deal
Celtic target Harry Wilson has signed a new long term deal with Liverpool.
The winger is wanted by Brendan Rodgers and the Anfield club have already turned down loan bids from the Hoops due to fears over their use of loan players.
Wilson impressed against Chester in pre-season and will be given further opportunities to impress, but could still head out on loan.
Steven Gerrard and Rangers have also been linked with the Welshman.
DONE DEAL: Ronaldo joins Juventus

DONE DEAL: Vanecek signs pre-contract
David Vanecek has agreed a pre-contract agreement to join Hearts in January.
The Czech striker has a contract with FK Teplice until the end of December and Hearts are still trying to get him to Tynecastle in this window.
But that might not be possible if the two clubs can't come to an agreement.
Levein said:
I'm very pleased that David has agreed to join the club. He's different from the other strikers we currently have and I'm looking forward to working with him.
He's a target man and is very good in the air. His hold-up play is impressive as well and he'll be a great addition to the squad.
As it stands he will join us in January. If we can get him in this window then great, but regardless of what happens, the important thing is that he has fully committed himself to Hearts.
Another deal at Hearts?
They are certainly hinting at it.

(Image: SNS Group)
Anthony Stokes could be on his way back to Ireland this summer as Shamrock Rovers line up a move for the former Celtic and Hibs star.
Stokes is a free agent after leaving Apollon in April and Rovers want to sign him in a bid to challenge Dundalk and Cork City at the top of the League of Ireland.
And the Irish Mirror report he would come in as a replacement for Graham Burke who joined Preston North End earlier this summer.
Juventus agree Ronaldo fee
Juventus have agreed a fee with Real Madrid as they close in on the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portugal superstar is expected to swap Spain for Italy and a fee believed to be £88m up front rising to £105m, according to reports in Italy.
Ronaldo has helped Real Madrid to three Champions League titles in a row and admitted after the win over Liverpool in May that it could be his final game for the club.
Spurs eye Suso move
Suso could be on his way back to the Premier League as Tottenham line up a move for the winger.
The Spaniard started his career at Liverpool before moving to Italy and has impressed for the San Siro outfit.
Money problems at the Italian giants could force them to balance the books and Suso has a £35m release clause in his contract that Spurs are considering activating, according to Calciomercato.
DONE DEAL: Torreira completes Gunners switch
Sampdoria star Lucas Torreira has completed his move to Arsenal, according to the Serie A side.
In a deal believed to be worth £22million, the Uruguayan midfielder becomes Unai Emery's fourth summer buy.

A Sampdoria statement said:
UC Sampdoria announces that it has relinquished the rights to the sports performances of the player Lucas Sebastián Torreira to Arsenal FC.
The Uruguayan midfielder - 74 appearances and 4 goals in his experience as a blucerchiato - is sincerely thanked for the commitment shown in these two seasons and wished the greatest of luck for the rest of his career by President Massimo Ferrero and all the company.
Rhodes completes Norwich move
Scotland international Jordan Rhodes has completed a loan switch to Norwich from Championship rivals Sheffield Wednesday.
The 28-year-old has struggled to establish himself at the Owls since moving from Middlesbrough last summer and is looking to kick start his career at the Canaries.
Rhodes said: "The move took its time in the end but now that it's finally happened, it's a real pleasure to be here.
"It's a fantastic football club with a great fanbase and if I play a few games this season, it will be a pleasure to do so.
"I'm looking forward to getting settled and starting up and playing a few games with the team. I'm really looking forward to pulling on the yellow and green jersey.
"It's a sell-out every week and there are a few familiar faces here that I already know. They've made me feel really welcome already.
"I'm really looking forward to settling into the area, getting to know everyone and really taking in the local surroundings."

Ronaldo to Juventus edges closer?
Cristiano Ronaldo's proposed move to Juventus has taken another step forward with the Real Madrid superstar reportedly set to meet with Bianconeri president Andrea Agnelli.
Ronaldo is currently on a family holiday in Greece and reports claim Agnelli will meet the 33-year-old at his hotel ahead of an £88.7million transfer.
The Portuguese icon has apparently grown tired of being, in his mind, underappreciated by Los Blancos, who are reluctant to grant him a pay-rise to equate with the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar.
According to The Mirror, a deal could be finalised within the next 48 hours.
Seri set for Fulham switch
Reports suggest that Fulham have won the race for sought-after Nice midfielder Jean-Michael Seri.
The Ivory Coast midfielder has been tracked by a host of clubs including Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.
But Sky Sports sources believe a deal to bring him to Craven Cottage is nearly done.
He had a release clause of £35m - but that only lasted for a few more weeks.
If Fulham have pulled this off it would be some coup for the newly-promoted side.
Onyekuru heading to Turkey

Everton are set to loan out Henry Onyekuru to Turkish giants Galatasaray.
The highly-rated winger was briefly linked with a move to Celtic last summer after impressing against the Hoops in the Champions League for Anderlecht, in another loan spell.
He opted to join the Toffees but the Premier League side are sending him out again on a temporary switch as he won't be able to secure a work-permit this season, report The Mirror.
He's also been out of action since December with a knee injury and is battling his way back to full fitness.

Jose Mourinho is planning a triple raid on Serie A as he looks to turn Manchester United into title contenders once again.

Corriere dello Sport also claim Mourinho wants AC Milan duo Leonardo Bonucci and Alessio Romagnoli to transform his defence.
Burke joins Hull
Defender Reece Burke has signed for Hull City after being linked with Rangers.
The now former West Ham youngster has been confirmed as the Tigers' third summer signing on a three-year deal.
The Mirror reported in May that Steven Gerrard was interested in bringing Burke to Ibrox, shortly after the capture of Scott Arfield from Burnley.
But he's opted for a switch to the English Championship outfit, who signed former Hearts loan star David Milinkovic yesterday.
DONE DEAL: Coulibaly joins Rangers
(Image: Getty)
Rangers have completed a loan swoop for Angers playmaker Lassana Coulibaly.
The combative midfielder arrives on a season-long deal from the Ligue 1 side with Steven Gerrard looking to add steel to his midfield.
Coulibaly, 22, moved to Angers from Bastia last summer and made 18 appearances in Ligue 1.
But following the arrival of Vincent Pajot from Saint Etienne the Mali international has found himself edged down the pecking order and has been allowed out on loan to Rangers.
FULL STORY: Lassana Coulibaly completes Rangers move as Mali international agrees season-long loan deal
Ross Stewart is set to make the switch from St Mirren to Scottish Premiership rivals Livingston on a two-year deal.
The former Albion Rovers keeper was back-up to Craig Samson at the Buddies last season but didn't feature.
And Livi player-boss Kenny Miller wants the 23-year-old to challenge former Rangers man Liam Kelly for the No. 1 jersey.
Stewart came through the ranks at Motherwell before moving to Lanarkshire rivals Albion Rovers and his fine form there earned him a move to Paisley.
But with Alan Stubbs linked with a loan move for Aberdeen's Danny Rogers, Stewart is ready to move to West Lothian.

(Image: Internet unknown)
Czech striker David Vanecek has agreed to join Hearts in January - but the Jambos are still battling to bring him in this summer.
The Teplice hitman's agent has confirmed a pre-contract is in place to bring his client to Edinburgh on January 1, 2019.
However, dealmaker Filip Zaka also revealed the clubs remain in talks over making the 27-year-old Hearts' 12th signing of this transfer window.

Crawford set for Doncaster
(Image: SNS)
Former Hamilton Accies playmaker Ali Crawford is set to sign for Doncaster Rovers after failing to win a deal at Hearts.

West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini believes new signing Jack Wilshere has "many years of football" left in him.
The England midfielder, who has struggled with injuries in recent years, signed a three-year deal to join the Hammers yesterday after leaving Arsenal at the end of his contract. And Pellegrini said:
At 26, he still has many years of football in front of him, and I believe he will be a great asset for us.
Jack is a player with excellent technical ability, combined with great energy and commitment, and has proven his quality both in the Premier League and at international level.
Most importantly, he is hungry to play for West Ham, and determined to reproduce the level of performance that he has shown in the past.
Barca teen star set for Arsenal switch
(Image: Bongarts)
Barcelona's latest prodigy, 15-year-old Joel Lopez, has confirmed that he is leaving the club.
And the youngster looks set to join Arsenal.
Lopez has turned down the offer of a new deal at La Masia to move to the Emirates Stadium.
Spanish newspaper Sport reported last month that Lopez and his family had met with senior officials at the club, who had tried to persuade him to stay amid Premier League interest.
But with more opportunities to progress into the first team more quickly in North London, Lopez has elected to chance his arm at Arsenal.
Lopez, not 16 until March next year, will sign for the Gunners on schoolboy terms before penning a professional deal next year.
He will join the club's academy, under the watchful eye of the club's new academy head, Per Mertesacker.
Dons target not interested in 'sideways step'
Aberdeen target John Marquis is not interested in a move to Pittodrie - because he sees the Scottish Premiership as a "sideways step" from Doncaster Rovers.
That's what Marquis' boss at Donny, Grant McCann, says as the Dons pulled the plug on their pursuit of the striker.
Aberdeen had a £400,000 bid rejected and McCann told the Doncaster Free Press:
I spoke to him and he doesn't want a sideways step in League One or the Scottish Premier League.
I told John that if anything comes from the Championship and it meets the club's valuation, then I won't stand in his way.
I'd wish him well. That is type of person I am. He deserves that.

Hi, I'm Billy Siounis , president and founder of Mr. Puffs. I'm sure you're all eager to find out what happened in the den… Well, we went, we pitched, we conquered… What an amazing experience!
All 5 Dragons loved our Puffs and enjoyed a nice Frappé in the Den. In the end both Jim and Kevin were interested in investing. we decided the best partner for us was Jim Treliving and we made our deal with him. After going through a long due diligence process, Mr. Treliving and his group decided to not yet invest in Mr. Puffs, and wait until we have matured to several locations. Before doing so.
Unfortunately, after CBC sorted through all pitches filmed for season 7, ours was not among those chosen to air.
We really were looking forward to sharing that experience with our customers friends and family. So we thought instead we would make this video for you.
Thank you once again for your continued support and believing in our concept from the very beginning. YOU are our true partners.

Q: chartkick why is x-axis a date I've created a custom hash but the x-axis is showing up as a date. I want it to just show the value in the hash (1,2,3 etc...). This is my first time using chartkick so I'm lost as to why this is happening.
What's being displayed is January 1, 2000 with the value of 504, February 1, 2000 with value of 499, March 1 etc....
