New additions change men's basketball

Rams look to fill Voigt's shoes
The men's basketball team began their season with lofty goals, but are looking to find a way to compensate for the loss of last season's leading scorer Travis Voigt, who left North Central after last season.
The Rams return three starters from last year: senior Joel Cline, junior Jared High and senior C.J. Lewis. Aside from those three players the rest of the team will look very different.
"New guys will be in the lineup and have to step up," Cline said. "We have a good mix of freshman and transfers and we're all still learning how to play together."
The team will need to find a way to divide out Voigt's responsibilities. Last year Voigt averaged 16.6 points per game while shooting 38.3% from three. With the addition of two new post players, 6'7" Roy Mack and 6'4" A.J. McGrew, the scoring looks to be evenly divided this year.
"We have a lot of bigs that can score inside and out," Cline said, "which will make teams have to guard more than two or three of our guys."
Cline believes a shift in culture from last year to this year will play a crucial role in the Rams' success.
"It's a different vibe," Cline said. "We have a lot of guys around the same age, which I think is part of the reason we're such a close knit group."
Lewis is the only true point guard on the starting five, which will open up opportunities for not just him, but the rest of the team as well.
Aside from Lewis the entire starting five is 6'3" or taller. Cline believes this size will play to their advantage when it comes to distributing the scoring amongst the starters and aid them in fulfilling their goal of a conference championship.
Although the team is still young and learning how to play together, Cline believes once they hit their stride they'll be a prominent force in the conference.
"As the season progresses I think it's important for us to get that main goal," Cline said. "And that main goal for us this year is to take home conference."
Last year the Rams finished with an overall record of 8-16 and a conference record of 4-12. Despite their struggles, the Rams' future looks bright. Plenty of new players means a new dynamic, and their developing team chemistry should make for an exciting season.
The Rams are 1-4 this season, with the sole win coming against Moody Bible Institute on Dec. 2. High leads the team on offense, averaging 14.5 points per game and 4.8 rebounds per game. Lewis is averaging 10.5 points per game, tied for second on the team with junior Marcus Wynn.

Q: insertable=false puts null into my value, but true gives an error (many to many relationship) I have 3 tables. Hospitals and doctors. The 3rd table is a junction table of both that contains id,ids of 2 other tables as foreign keys and few other columns. When trying to put record to a junction table I got an error that one of foreign keys have to be set with insertable=false. However when I set it like this then I get that the value can't be null (since my database requires that field).I'm stuck and can't go any further with those 2 errors.
If I manage to avoid those 2 errors then I get an erorr that there is an unknown column in the field list.

}

I expected to be able to add records to junction table in data base in form fields I have foreign keys for hospital and doctors id to put in as well as other fields. Unfortunately I get either error that say to put foreign keys columns idD and idH as insertable, updatable false which leads to null value being passed which gives another error. When I solve those errors I get the error:
java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: Unknown column 'hospitaldo0_.Idd' in 'field list'when trying to display records nad unknown column Idd when trying to add record (displaying works when Im getting insertable error or null value error. adding never works)

A: If I remember correctly, you need to have a single @ManyToMany relation rather than two @OneToMany relations.

Professor David Lowenthal FBA in conversation with Sir Simon Jenkins, on 1 June 2011 (venue: The British Academy).
Setting a value on history or heritage is notoriously difficult: how can one justify or quantify an entity that cannot, for the most part, be measured in solid units or physical benefits? And how often do we pause to ask ourselves why we care about doing this?
As part of the British Academy Policy Centre's stream of work on cultural heritage, Professor David Lowenthal expounds on the necessity of caring for all heritage, natural and cultural. He traces a distinguished line of thought, arguing that consideration for our future rests on an understanding of and concern for the past. And to appreciate our past to its full extent, we must acknowledge that heritage is a living and flexible body that needs continuous revision and addition to remain healthy and vibrant.
David Lowenthal's Forbes Prize speech discussed the need for long term stewardship of art, history and the environment. In similar terms, David's conversation with Simon Jenkins will focus on why stewarding the past benefits the present and the future, and how we can protect, enliven, and enhance our heritage.
Professor David Lowenthal is Emeritus Professor of Geography at University College London and over an illustrious career, spanning some 60 years, has taught at universities on both sides of the Atlantic. He has advised organisations including English Heritage, SAVE Britain's Heritage, UNESCO, ICOMOS, Europe Nostra and the British Museum. He is a medallist of the Royal Geographical Society, the International Institute for Conservation and the American Geographical Society and was awarded the Forbes Prize in 2010 for his services to conservation.
Sir Simon Jenkins is an author and journalist, who was appointed Chairman of the National Trust in 2008. He is currently a columnist for the Guardian and the Evening Standard. Sir Simon has a longstanding interest in heritage and the heritage sector, and has been a member of the Millennium Commission, a trustee of The Architecture Foundation and deputy chairman of English Heritage.

your annogram - southwest edition
Thanks to a Poetry Translation Residency from the Witter Bynner Poetry Foundation and the Santa Fe Art Institute, I spent a few spectacular weeks in September in New Mexico:
Located on the College of Santa Fe campus, the Institute is designed by Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta. Centered around a courtyard, the offices, galleries, studios, resident rooms and living areas are light-filled and airy. Residents' rooms open on a private patio, and I was fortunate to face a rock garden full of lavender and blue grama. Most days, I would sit outside early in the morning as the sun rose and write.
Artists in community
What was extraordinary about the residency was the high caliber and creativity of the artists—as committed to their craft as they were generous to each other:
Zelda Alpern, fiction writer and recipient of an Individual Woman's Artist Grant from the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund, whose work has appeared in Chain.
Cathy Chung, fiction writer and 2007 MacDowell resident, whose work will soon appear in The Journal.
Rachel Cohen, dancer and artistic director of Racoco Productions—a movement theater whose production "If the Shoe Fits," won raves reviews from The New York Times' John Rockwell.
Jillian Conrad, sculptor, who had just completed one show in Hartford, "Name", and will give the visiting artist lecture at Rhodes College in Memphis this month.
Patty Rosenblatt, ceramist, whose prints, sculptures and installations grace places such as the Jimmy Fund Clinic at the Dana Farber Cancer Center. Patty and Rachel are collaborating on innovative work involving dance and clay.
Marguerite Kahrl, visual artist, whose industrial hemp installation is getting rave reviews at the "Weather Report: Art and Climate Change" Exhibit at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art.
Julie Anne Pieri, visual artist, whose performance-based videos have been screened at the New Orleans and New York International Independent Film & Video Festivals.
Michael Sandoval, cinematographer and novelist, whose work "Ariana" appeared in the Berlin Film Festival, teaches film directing at the New York Film Academy.
Shigeki Yoshida, photographer, whose mesmerizing silver gelatin prints are exhibited this month at Susan Eley Gallery, 46 West 90th Street, in New York.
When I flew into Albuquerque, I watched the midwest's green circles and tan squares give way to mountains whose dotted greenery looked like Chinese dragons against the desert. Landing at Sunport International, a pink adobe building surrounded by mountains, I could practically hear the "wah-wah WAH" and rattlesnake opening of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."
Artist Lorraine Serra said that New Mexico is "like being on another planet." During the ride to Santa Fe, I believed her: I saw inactive volcanoes and wild horses. I watched a thunderstorm, hundreds of miles wide, pound mountains while the rest of the vast sky remained a vacuum blue. Relentless sun exposed mustard, pink and clay colored sand. Native American animal images and pueblo names adorned pink and turquoise highway overpasses.
My van driver insisted I attend the Zozobro burning the following night, and called his mother to ask when the Sunday candlelight procession would begin. His accent, a monotone clipped with something neither Spanish nor Native American, was a combination of two cultures I would often hear. Like him, everyone I met in Santa Fe would be welcoming: I would have guides on this new planet.
Zozobro
Santa Fe's 300-year-old Fiesta, which celebrates Santa Fe's Spanish re-occupation, begins with the burning of Zozobro, a 65-foot paper marionette at dusk.
For weeks the local newspaper collects Santa Feans' bad karma in form of parking tickets and divorce papers—to be burned in Zozobro, aka Old Man Gloom.
Julie Pieri, Michael Sandoval, Shigeki Yoshida and I caught a bus to the Plaza to join hundreds making their way to Fort Marcy Park.
Valerie Cordova, a Santa Fean whose ancestry goes back 400 years, fell in with us, pointing out her family's coat of arms on the Governor's Palace. "Two dogs," she said, "facing opposite directions." She taught us to shout, "¡Que viva la fiesta!" to elicit "¡Que viva!" from the crowd.
When Valerie bought us day-glow necklaces, we pronounced her the unofficial Fiesta Queen—although we later met and bowed to Teresa Rodriquez, the real title holder.
Rock bands played as Zozobro groaned over the audio, opened and closed his mouth, and pointed gruesome fingers at the crowd. As night fell, an elaborate choreography unfurled around the puppet's base with children dressed as angels and dancers tauntingly bearing torches.
Fireworks exploded on lines inching towards Zozobro. Finally, Old Man Gloom's eyes and mouth ignited, fireworks exploding out of his head, until he collapsed into a burning heap. Many believe that this ritual cleanses participants of gloom, as one man assured his granddaughter, "Now we'll have a good year."
¡Que viva!
Over the weekend, the Fiesta continued in the Plaza with mariachi bands, vendors selling enchiladas, and craftspeople displaying weavings and jewelry. Sunday night, Marguerite Kahrl, Rachel Cohen, Julie, Michael, Shigeki and I attended the candlelight procession that commemorates the martyrdom of eight Franciscan priests.
Julie and Michael first attended the mass at the Cathedral of St. Francis. While we waited for them, we met a woman whose father had built most of Los Alamos during WWII. Her parents were concerned about spies and her safety, so they taught her—then five years old—to say that she lived in "Santa Fe" and later "Arizona." She seemed like a living piece of history, and we listened, fascinated.
With a church group singing Spanish softly behind, and mariachis ahead, we wound our way up cobblestone streets to the Cross of the Martyrs. Two Spanish musicians lounged in a restaurant window, one holding a guitar and another an accordion. Many women wore traditional long dresses and shawls. If I had dropped there, I would've thought I was in another country.
The hilltop offered a bird's eye view of the city, where breezes blew out flames and strangers dipped candles toward each other's to re-light them. A priest celebrated Santa Fe's unity and a chorus sang hymns. When it was over, in contrast to the solemn procession, everyone sped downhill—one banner bearer tripping over a curb and mariachis practically running down the street toward the Plaza.
Father Sky, Mother Earth
Another treat was attending an evening of Native American storytelling at the College of Santa Fe. I was privileged to hear Hoskie Benally, a Diné (Navajo) who told a moving story warning children about the impact of alcohol. Hoskie, who became blind at 22, overcame alcoholism and depression to find his true path as a spiritual leader. In New Mexico, it's easy to see why indigenous peoples deify the landscape--it is so vibrant and alive.
Even the prairie dogs and jackrabbits seem livelier. As Carl Jung once said to a Native New Mexican about his beliefs, "Everyone knows it to be so." Awed by the great and changing landscape, I became a believer too.
Santa Fe's centuries-old plaza is lined with stores full of striking jewelery, clothing, rugs and crafts.
Just beyond it, vendors display wares outdoors--near the Loretto Chapel. The Chapel looked familiar and then I found out it was based on La Sainte Chapelle in Paris.
Inside, a winding staircase to the choir loft is said to have been built by a mysterious carpenter who appeared, built it without any nails, and disappeared. The sisters there at the time believed him to be Saint Joseph.
Reluctant weaver
Chimayo is a village famous for its centuries-old tradition of weavers. Heading north for a day, novelist Zelda Alpern and I stopped at Trujillo Weavers, where the third-generation owner demonstrated weaving on his grandfather's loom. "Where in New York are you from," he asked me. "This rug," he said, "is going to New York." His family taught him to weave when he was a boy. "I didn't want to learn," he said, smiling. The shop, full of wool rugs and throws, featured the Chimayo pattern, a diamond bordered by two stripes.
Healing clay
We entered the Sanctuario de Chimayo, known for its curative dirt and primitive paintings more Native than Spanish colonial.
An elderly woman, helped by her daughter, approached the altar on her knees, as did a teary young mother carrying a disabled toddler. Left of the altar was a door to a narrow hut full of crutches, letters, needlepoint and paintings bearing witness to Chimayo's red earth. "His cancer has not gone away," wrote one, "but the dirt has given him peace."
A low entryway led to a square room, a hole at center with fresh dirt and a spade. Each day, the priest goes to the hillside, digs out soil and refills the hole each day. I knelt to shovel some earth, silvery with minerals, into a plastic bag. An old woman, extending a tiny box, asked me to fill hers too.
As urged earlier by Julie, Zelda and I took the high road to Taos—where the desert landscape turned surprisingly green and mountainous. "I could live here," Zelda, a Vermonter, said approvingly. At a scenic lookout, we were startled by a long-crested jay.
In Taos, we enjoyed a garden lunch at Orlando's New Mexican Café. Fortified, we ventured across a dramatic desert stretch to seek out D.H. Lawrence.
D.H. Lawrence Ranch
I had read Sons and Lovers in high school, and more recently, an essay by Lawrence on New Mexico shared by poet Mary Ladd. Lawrence, who had come to Taos in his last years, adored the "uncivilized" environment:
New Mexico was the greatest experience from the outside world that I have ever had. It certainly changed me forever… The moment I saw the brilliant, proud morning shine high up over the deserts of Santa Fe, something stood still in my soul…
A long dusty drive led to the Lawrence Ranch, owned by the University of New Mexico, where a sign pointed to a concrete walk. After a five-minute walk zigzagging uphill, we found the grave of Frieda, Lawrence's wife, in front of the crypt. In a deft Nancy Drew move, Zelda unlocked the narrow door which creaked open a few inches.
We gasped: Inside was the altar where Frieda is said to have mixed Lawrence's ashes. Mabel Dodge Sterne had threatened to take them, so Frieda is rumored to have said, "Let her try now!" as she poured them into the altar's wet concrete. A framed certificate revealed Lawrence's body had been shipped from Europe—as if we too might question the ashes' whereabouts. A book also revealed signatures from visitors worldwide and we added ours too.
Art in Santa Fe
No one told me how beautiful Museum Hill is in Santa Fe: The spectacular location features three museums, respectively devoted to international folk, Spanish colonial and Indian arts.
I visited the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, an intriguing journey in the Plains Indians' art, culture and spirituality.
Canyon Road was another discovery—a winding residential road with dozens of galleries. I enjoyed the "Once There Was, Once There Wasn't: Fairy Tales Retold" exhibit at Eight Modern, which featured drawings from Jim Dine's Pinocchio series and harrowing images of the Furies by Fay Ku, and works by David Hockney, Peregrine Honig, Elizabeth "Grandma" Layton, Adela Leibowitz, David Levinthal, Paula Rego, Kiki Smith, and Richard Tuttle.
Patty Rosenthal, Jillian Conrad and I also took in the opening of Judy Tuwaletstiwa's "Traces" at Linda Durham Contemporary Art on Paseo de Peralta where I spied actor Judge Reinhold (Beverly Hills Cop, Stripes, Fast Times at Ridgemont High).
We attended a performance outside of one gallery to celebrate the opening of a pottery exhibit. It featured a young Asian woman performing a tea ceremony within a chalk circle, while another woman read a poetic narrative, and the potter himself, draped under a sheet, crawled slowly toward the gallery. Patty or Jillian, do you recall the artist's or gallery's name? Anyway, it was well-crafted poetry and a thought-provoking experience. Amidst our tour, two young Hasidic men blew a shofar to welcome in the year 5768. Surrounded by all that art, and the sun hitting Canyon Road's adobe-colored walls, it felt like the year ahead would be wonderful.
Art as action
The Santa Fe Art Institute (SFAI) views art as the most powerful force for change on the planet today. And SFAI is doing its part: In response to 9/11, Executive Director Diane Karp initiated Emergency Relief Residencies. To date, more than 130 artists from Lower Manhattan and the New Orleans area have been given time and space at SFAI to recover their lives and work from the effects of 9/ll and Katrina.
Armajani's "Fallujah"
In this spirit, SFAI hosted "Fallujah," an installation by architect and sculptor Siah Armajani—artwork declined by US museums for its controversial subject matter. The piece, a huge glass rectangle, tilts perilously backward, revealing crushed mattresses and a child's rocking horse. The work is witness against war and, in particular, the bombing of Fallujah.
Rewarding talks
"Fallujah: Revealing War," an SFAI-sponsored panel discussion, also featured journalists Dahr Jamail and Jeremy Scahill, and artist Siah Armajani. The next evening, SFAI residents also enjoyed the artist's private slide-lecture of his work—including well-known space such as Battery Park in Lower Manhattan. Armajani, who often integrates poetry into his work, called upon good friend John Ashbery for help with the Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge (Minneapolis, 1988). To top this off, Diane Karp took the sculptor and residents to dinner so we could get to know him.
Southwestern skies
My amateur-astronomer husband, Michael, joined me in the last week of the residency. His first night there, we drove to the top of the Santa Fe Ski Basin, almost 10,000 feet above sea level, to see the Milky Way arcing from one horizon to another. On the way up, we saw a male elk and a coyote. Another night, we enjoyed a tour of the night sky at a private ranch given by a local astronomer. On a daylight adventure, we drove to Los Alamos and savored the highway scenery.
People not only associate Santa Fe with art, but food. And there's good reason: I discovered delicacies such as watermelon drink and Mexican wedding cookies—fat butter cookies with chopped nuts rolled in confectioners' sugar. At Ecco near the Plaza, I tasted strawberry habañero—strawberry gelato with a chile kick. Everything was prepared with fresh vegetables from local farms or agricultural states in Mexico—so avocado in a salad at the Buddhist Cloud Cliff Bakery truly was a religious experience, as were steak-sized cinnamon rolls at Counter Culture. Michael and I, on a tip from a local, went to Los Potrillos for mind-altering chile relenos and home-made tortillas, an experience that will forever ruin our primitive concept of Mexican food back home.
I appreciate everyone's good wishes, suggestions and prayers that made this trip so memorable. Thanks also to SFAI Director Diane Karp, and her dog, Bea,
who both made SFAI seem like home; to the Barretts for hosting a lovely cocktail party that made us feel a valued part of the Santa Fe arts community. For their kindness and hard work,
I salute SFAI Residency Director Gabe Gomez, Administrative Director Michele LaFlamme-Childs, Assistant Residency Director Peter Willig, and staff members Jennie, Joanna and Ammo.
And to answer the burning question: Did you write? Yes, I did. Poetry, I discovered, takes more time and needs to sit on the psyche's back-burner. But being in Santa Fe added to my vocabulary of imagery, and in my work I expect to see its ancient cultures, beautiful colors and savory aromas erupt.
¡Que viva la fiesta!

5 Affordable Cities for Emerging Artists
The art world can be terrifying for young artists, especially with the rising price tags on living in New York City or Los Angeles today. Fresh out of school with a ton of ideas and debt, you might be wondering where you can move to get your career rolling without breaking the bank.
Find your respite in an affordable city with a blossoming art culture so you can spend your money on making art, not living in a glorified janitor's closet with a microwave.
While living in a major city on the East Coast is always going to be expensive, Philadelphia is much cheaper than many of its neighbors and a short ride to New York City, Boston, and Washington, D.C. for openings, museums, studio visits, and collectors. Featuring the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Institute of Contemporary Art, Rodin Museum, and too many galleries and colleges to count, Philly is becoming a thriving cultural center primed for young artists. With one of the largest populations in the United States, a strong public transportation system, and cheesesteak to die for who could say no to the City of Brotherly Love?
Filled with hip museums and galleries, the art scene in Denver is surging into prominence. The new Clyfford Still Museum is practically a Mecca for abstract painters. The scene is heavily involved with local artists, from exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art to the way Redline is nurturing talent and granting opportunities to emerging artists. Between Untitled art programs at the Denver Art Museum, First Fridays at tons of galleries in multiple arts districts, the new Kirkland Museum, and the Biennial of the Americas, Denver is a rising star for young visual artists. With Boulder not far away, additional opportunities abound. Boasting a 7% unemployment rate and a relatively low cost of living, the state famous for skiing and legalizing weed will be a popular art scene in the near future. Critique Collective is currently working on a series of interviews with Denver artists, galleries, and curators. Interested parties should submit their work at https://critiquecollective.com/submissions/.
You want to move to the beach, huh? Art Basel Miami Beach made Miami quite the destination this winter, but Miami's consistent growth as an art scene has extended for decades. While Art Basel displayed the luxe and glamour of Miami with the rise of the Pérez Art Museum Miami, growing art districts are the real future of this city. The Wynwood Arts District is full to the brim with galleries, studios, installations, and culture while North Miami includes the MOCA NoMI. Indeed, Miami is sprouting residencies for visual artists at Cannonball, Fountainhead, LegalArt, and Inkhub. While you might not run into Kim Kardashian at Art Basel everyday, you will find yourself immersed in a rising art community in Miami.
Historically a hidden art jewel in the Southwest, Santa Fe is famous for Georgia O'Keeffe, Western Art, and green chile. With many Americans crossing over from the Northeast to the Southwest, Santa Fe is a growing force to be reckoned with in the art world. With multiple museums (including the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum) and a massive influx of tourists who come for the culture and weather, Santa Fe is a nice place to find collectors despite its small city demeanor. Santa Fe artists can access Albuquerque, Dallas, Denver, and Phoenix in a few hours. Come for the art scene and stay for the sun and Mexican food.
While you might freeze your nostrils closed, living in the twin cities is a viable option for artists seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of many major art centers. Offering the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, and a multitude of colleges, Minneapolis isn't a bad place for young creatives to settle down. The Northeast Minneapolis Arts District includes over a dozen galleries, as well as studios, shops, theatre, and music. With a history as a cultural center, Minneapolis is an attractive location for emerging artists who are looking to break into a small yet respectable art scene.

Behind the Meanings of Spartanburg's Black Lives Matter Mural
If you've passed Spartanburg City Hall on West Main Street over the past couple of years, you've seen a statement made in large, colorfully-designed letters on the street – Black Lives Matter in Spartanburg.
After the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Mn. and the nationwide calls for racial justice and equity that followed, a group of 16 incredibly talented artists came together with the support of the City of Spartanburg and several key community organizations to paint a street-level mural reading Black Lives Matter.
Each letter features a distinct, eye-catching design that reflects something about the artist who created it. Below, each artist shined some light on the inspiration behind their letter, and why being able to say Black Lives Matter is important for them, and for Spartanburg.
(Note: some responses have been edited for length, but were kept as close to the artists' original response, collected after the mural's completion in 2020, as possible.)
B – Abel Jackson
"My letter is the letter B. It represents the idea that we must lift each other up as we climb. We must persevere over many obstacles in our lives and part of the process requires that we work together. The people in the design are rising up from the land into space. At the top is a representation of an angel in a hoodie. He represents Trayvon Martin as well as many others who were unjustly murdered which is the reason for the Black Lives Matter movement."
L – Lucy Boland
"I'm not sure I can wrap words around this experience. The love was thick, our community showed up and that beautiful feeling of hope rang loud. This is the Spartanburg I choose to raise my children in. Loving, supportive, hopeful and progressive. I'm so proud. My design came from a prayer. A Mother's Prayer. I was deeply affected when George Floyd cried out for his mama… It pierced my soul. I felt him crying out to me, to every mother in the world. Our children deserve better. I wanted my design to reflect that feeling. I wanted it to be a tribute to Black mothers. I layered profiles of women, the givers of life, in colors I felt are symbolic of strength, sacrifice, and passion. At the last minute, I replaced the praying hands with 3 birds that represent love, peace and hope. The praying hands felt too literal and internal. I wanted to represent action and change. I wanted that action to break through the confines of the letter, breakthrough the boundaries. That's the wings at the top. That's the hope in tomorrow.
A – Adrian Meadows
"The color inspiration for my letter came from African Kente cloth and 90s hip-hop fashion. These colors are really bold, vibrant and encompass Black culture to me. Being a part of such a strong and uplifting movement, it only made sense to be unapologetic in my contribution."
C – Nancy Corbin
"I chose to use figures and vivid color, to evoke the unity, energy, resilience and collaboration needed at his pivotal time in racial justice to build a better future. The arcs in the sky remind viewers of the quote often attributed to Martin Luther King Jr.: 'The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.'"
K – Ty McBride
"Most of my art uses really bright colors in the background with a black and white image as the focus so this letter couldn't be any different. The inspiration behind the design of my letter was the lives of my 3 favorite little guys; my 2 nephews and my godson. They are 6,7, and 12 right now so they are being impacted by what they see. The oldest has been asking a lot of questions and feeling really hurt by all of the videos that have been going around and it's been hard teaching him about the BLM struggle. I wanted to use my letter as a way to let them know that they matter, and they will always matter."
L – Johnni Bleu
"My design consists of purple Jimi Hendrix inside the letter L in the word Lives. 'When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.' – Jimi Hendrix
I chose the letter L because of the song "Little Wing." I knew going into the project the simple statement (Black Lives Matter) also carried a political agenda. I choose the color purple because it is a mixture of blue (Democratic) and red (Republican). The project was carried out by a diverse group of artists promoting unity within the community through art."
I – Deneer Davis
"The meaning behind my piece starts with the fist being colorful representing unity as a human race, the heart is us as a human race loving one another. BLM is painted in different shades of brown to represent no matter what shade of brown your skin is, Black lives mattered then, Black lives matter now. 'Equality,' the bright colors in the piece represent love, peace on Earth, and 'we matter.'"
V – Makayla Binter
"I originally came up with the idea when I was drawing! I love to draw Black women and put them in my art as much as possible, not only because I am also a Black woman, but for representation purposes in giving visuals to little Black girls of themselves in their own cities and on their own sidewalks.
I also wanted to emphasize that Black Girls and Women Matter during this transformational period when Black women, trans women, and children are constantly at risk and killed, and often swept under the rug. The murder of Breonna Taylor has really impacted my perspective in the progression of the BLM movement so whenever I can add a woman's face, especially a Black Woman's face, I do."
E – Frankie Zombie
"My inspiration derived from topics that some of the most intellectual, intelligent, and impactful Black leaders of history touched on day in and day out as they gave their entire life acting in selfless states of being, for the awareness of inequalities in our country. Systemic racism, violence, bloodshed, etc. have all played a role in the injustices of Black people dating back to the 400 years of slavery on to today. My mission was and is to start the conversation of these topics so that understanding of true history can be brought to the forefront and dismantled so that we all can rewrite the new books of our country lead by real love, respect, equality, and equal justice. "
S – Joshua Jackson
"I was assigned the letter "s". The letter meant so much to me because its what makes the word 'lives' plural. A reminder that multiple lives have been cut short, yet the fact remains that Black Lives Matter. I depicted "Trayvon Martin" in my design because he has been a face for the innocent lives ended due to hate. I added a rose which for me stands for shared love. We as people must all love each other to move forward. Finally I added the word "Justice". Justice insights fair and equal treatment for everyone. We are fighting for equality. This mural was a huge step in the right direction for a lot of people. BLM."
M – Maggie Macdonald
"For my portion of the street mural I wanted to create a piece that embodied the spirit of feminine Black power. The woman in my mural was painted after one of my dear friends. The intent was to capture a bit of a power pose – and the color scheme was to keep it playful and attractive. For my particular friend who this is [modeled] after, plants are a big source of joy, so I wanted to include them as a facet of the piece."
A – John Hairston
"The youth… the children, they see everything. They watch and I hope that they're learning. I thought that by the time I got to adulthood that the issues of my father and my father before me would be a distant memory. They aren't. I thought that we'd be farther along than we are. Hopefully, they'll learn from what they're seeing as far as how we are protesting, and what we're standing for and make improvements accordingly. We'll see."
T – Mylows Customs
"It's basically – red equals blood, Black equals people, and green equals Earth.
The more complicated version goes, the blood is dripping, meaning our blood is being seen. Every person in the human race has the same color blood; realize it. The man and woman have each other's back. Running for freedom to equality since the slave ships pulled up. The yellow behind them can be seen as the sun, or a flashlight looking for the brave runaways making their way through the tall green grass."
T – Darion Fleming
"With my letter I wanted to specifically bring light to the many innocent and helpless Black children who have lost their freedom, and many times their lives, to law enforcement and an entirely unfair judicial system. One of the first and most widely known cases of this is 14-year-old George Stinney Jr. who was wrongfully convicted of the murder of two white girls and was executed by electric chair in 1944. The youngest American in history to be sentenced to death and executed by electric chair. In 2014 George's name was finally cleared of any wrongdoing. I chose George as the subject of this work for a couple different reasons. Having happened in South Carolina I think it's more powerful to tell his story again on the same ground. Additionally, his siblings say he had a talent for drawing, what better way to memorialize him than through art, the best way I know how."
E – Benjamin Moore
"I was assigned the letter E and immediately grew ecstatic because my easily recognizable "HERE IS AN IMAG E." decal places emphasis on the letter E. I'm primarily a graphic designer so I tend to approach things with a design frame of mind, that often times translates to simplistic/minimalistic designs with clean geometric shapes, sharp edges, bright colors and somewhat standard fonts. I chose to remix my decal by using an excerpt from an Erykah Badu song I strongly admire. The song is titled 'On & On,' and lyrics go, 'If we were made in His image then call us by our names.' MADE IN HIS IMAG E. felt like the perfect space filler. Black people are magic beings by nature. We breed creativity and are constantly reappraising the value and quality of life. Our contributions are finally being highlighted and celebrated. Contrary to the song lyrics, I truly believe if God were to have a gender, it would be that of a woman more than a man. Women are so much more sacred and spiritually connected than men. His fit better with the design but my intention was always to cross it out and replace it with Her in a way that appeared vandalized and overemphasized."
R – The MadddArtist
"R. No Puedes silenciar a la gente. You can't silence the people
Black Lives Matter has been an ongoing movement to shed light on police brutality against an unjust system…. So many Black Americans, along with other minority groups, have been ostracized from the so-called American dream. So many people think activists within these movements are gang members or misfits, but these are people that have had enough, and they want to take a stand. A quote by James Baldwin: 'If any white man in the world says give me liberty or give me death, the entire white world applauds. When a Black man says exactly the same thing word for word, he is judged a criminal and treated like one.
Leaders throughout history have been fighting the same fight over and over and they are tired. They are running out of resources and options to lead the people. There are a lot of oppressed communities that are deprived of proper funding, education, and resources. Breaking systematic racism in these communities is a must or it will continue to get worse. Our communities are being taken over by gentrification and we have food deserts throughout our neighborhoods, no jobs where we can actually create generational wealth. We have police profiling and patrolling communities they would never live in. This is a problem because you fear what you don't understand. The people have spoken, and they want change. You can't and will not silence them. There are people within our generations along with our ancestors who have lost their lives and we want justice for them and to have a fair chance to live the American Dream."

East London Advertiser > News > Crime
Whitechapel trader was 'sold down the river', court told
A banker accused of committing Britain's largest ever fraud while working at UBS Bank in London said he confessed his situation to his colleagues.
Kweku Adoboli, 32, of Clark Street, Whitechapel, told Southwark Crown Court today the pressure he was under affected his relationship with his girlfriend, and led him to go to a nearby church to pray.
Between August 24 and September 13 last year matters came to a head as the umbrella fund was battered by the market's downturn.
Adoboli said: "Having lost control in July I didn't really appreciate just how big the position was.
"I had become de-sensitised to just how big the trades were."
UBS controllers started making inquiries about the deals, but Adoboli acknowledged today that he lied to keep them off his back.
He said that by doing so he was trying to buy time to fix the situation, adding: "My job as a trader is to recoup losses or make profits."
As the losses deepened, Adoboli discussed the situation with the other members of the ETFs desk - John Hughes, Simon Taylor and Cristophe Bertrand.
Following these talks at work and in an All Bar One establishment, Adoboli said he decided to bite the bullet for the others.
He told the court he did not see the point in "collapsing" other careers but he bitterly complained to his girlfriend at the time that they had "sold him down the river".
He also told his girlfriend that he had until Friday September 16 to save his career.
A WhatsApp instant message he sent her read: "I know a lot of people don't believe in divine intervention, but whatever way this plays out this is my lot. It's not over until the fat lady sings."
But the pressure proved too much and on Wednesday September 14 last year Adoboli went to St Mary's Church, round the corner from UBS's offices, to pray.
He denies two counts of fraud and four counts of false accounting between October 2008 and last September after he set up an "umbrella" fund for off-book trades.


Gallery Four's newly renovated 4,000 sq.ft. gallery in Baltimore will feature work by five artists from Chicago, New York, Washington D.C., and Baltimore. The show will include site specific painting and recent sculpture by Maggie Michael, new sculpture and installation by Bryan Savitz, Jan Razauskas, Nikki Romanello, and photography by Steve Nyktas.
Opening Reception: November 8th, from 5 - 10 pm.
Caos on F is a new artist owned, artist operated collective at 923 F St. NW in DC launched last September as part of F St|arts, the suite of art studio spaces in the newly developed Carroll Square building.
On exhibit at Caos on F for its inaugural show will be the work of painters Michael Berman and Quint Marshall, ceramic artist Joe Hicks and furniture by Matthew Falls. The show continues until January 5 and is open to the public every Friday 2-8 pm and by special appointment.
Starting Friday November 7 and continuing every first Friday, Caos on F will host an open studio event featuring Fine Art, Fine Furniture and Fine Friends. Lively and provocative discussions are sure to abound and will feature wine and treats from our neighbors: gourmet cheeses from Cowgirl Creamery and delectible chocolates from CoCo Sala.
"Two weeks ago, the Death Star that has hovered over the art world for the last two years finally fired its lasers. It was October 15, the day the stock market fell more than 700 points—again—and a month after Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch collapsed and Damien Hirst pawned off $200 million worth of crapola on clueless rubes at Sotheby's. Against this backdrop, at 11 a.m., the gates of London's Frieze Art Fair opened, and in streamed the international traveling circus of bigwigs, collectors, curators, advisers, museum directors, trustees, models, movie stars, and critics like moi.
In fact, though, things were different. Those of us who have frequented Frieze could see that something was off. Dealers and assistants who in recent years were always busy with clients now stood or sat quietly. Sales were happening, but slowly, one at a time. The claim of "It's sold" was replaced by "I have it on several holds." Although the megagalleries like Gagosian and White Cube teemed with moneyed types and very tall women in very high heels, many younger dealers looked perplexed. A gallerist who entered the field in the go-go aughts and who had sold only two pieces by 5 p.m. that first day asked, 'What's going on?'"

Ideal to grow in Pennsylvania, this German grape delivers a wine with distinct spicy, earthy notes. Literally "spicy Traminer" this wine brings a truly unique aroma with decadent richness and exotic fruit qualities. A dry wine, despite smelling like a sweet one, with a "biting" finish.
Gewürztraminer marries beautifully with rich, fatty dishes like pork or ripe cheeses. Gewürztraminer is perfect to offset spicy dishes, and complements nicely wild game, poultry and particularly sharp cheese.

As part of my submissions for the Manchester homebrew expo in Manchester Beer Week at Beer Nouveau I brewed a Fullers Porter clone recipe.
This is one of my favourite commercial porter beers with great malty flavours and a hint of chocolate.
I used quite a few sources to put this recipe together and tried to stay as close to the information from Fullers website. A few substitutions had to be made for the bittering addition but I thought this would still get close to the real thing.
Comparing mine to the real thing they were really close. The brown malt seemed to be the key factor. Mine had a bit more chocolate coming through and the commercial beer had a bit more caramel.
At the expo we were very lucky to be able to put our beers through a commercial pop up tap system from The Travelling Tap.
The Porter was named Feltham's Threads and was on in between an American Amber I'd also brewed and the Imperial Stout from my earlier blog post. It was in good company with other beers from the Chorlton Homebrewers.
All in all it was received well and it was great to take part in another event hosted by Steve at Beer Nouveau.

Richard Jefferies in the City of London
Often when I set out for a walk from Spitalfields, my footsteps lead me to the crossroads outside the Bank of England , at the place where Richard Jefferies – a writer whose work has been an enduring inspiration – once stood. Like me, Jefferies also came to the city from the countryside and his response to London was one of awe and fascination. Whenever I feel lost in the metropolis, his writing is always a consolation, granting a liberating perspective upon the all-compassing turmoil of urban life and, in spite of the changes in the city, his observations resonate as powerfully today as they did when he wrote them. This excerpt from The Story of My Heart (1883), the autobiography of his inner life, describes the sight that met Richard Jefferies' eyes when he stood upon that spot at the crossroads in the City of London.
"There is a place in front of the Royal Exchange where the wide pavement reaches out like a promontory. It is in the shape of a triangle with a rounded apex. A stream of traffic runs on either side, and other streets send their currents down into the open space before it. Like the spokes of a wheel converging streams of human life flow into this agitated pool. Horses and carriages, carts, vans, omnibuses, cabs, every kind of conveyance cross each other's course in every possible direction.
Twisting in and out by the wheels and under the horses' heads, working a devious way, men and women of all conditions wind a path over. They fill the interstices between the carriages and blacken the surface, till the vans almost float on human beings. Now the streams slacken, and now they rush again, but never cease, dark waves are always rolling down the incline opposite, waves swell out from the side rivers, all London converges into this focus. There is an indistinguishable noise, it is not clatter, hum, or roar, it is not resolvable, made up of a thousand thousand footsteps, from a thousand hoofs, a thousand wheels, of haste, and shuffle, and quick movements, and ponderous loads, no attention can resolve it into a fixed sound.
Blue carts and yellow omnibuses, varnished carriages and brown vans, green omnibuses and red cabs, pale loads of yellow straw, rusty-red iron clunking on pointless carts, high white wool-packs, grey horses, bay horses, black teams, sunlight sparkling on brass harness, gleaming from carriage panels, jingle, jingle, jingle! An intermixed and intertangled, ceaselessly changing jingle, too, of colour, flecks of colour champed, as it were, like bits in the horses' teeth, frothed and strewn about, and a surface always of dark-dressed people winding like the curves on fast-flowing water. This is the vortex and whirlpool, the centre of human life today on the earth. Now the tide rises and now it sinks, but the flow of these rivers always continues. Here it seethes and whirls, not for an hour only, but for all present time, hour by hour, day by day, year by year.
All these men and women that pass through are driven on by the push of accumulated circumstances, they cannot stay, they must go, their necks are in the slave's ring, they are beaten like seaweed against the solid walls of fact. In ancient times, Xerxes, the king of kings, looking down upon his myriads, wept to think that in a hundred years not one of them would be left. Where will be these millions of today in a hundred years? But, further than that, let us ask – Where then will be the sum and outcome of their labour? If they wither away like summer grass, will not at least a result be left which those of a hundred years hence may be the better for? No, not one jot! There will not be any sum or outcome or result of this ceaseless labour and movement, it vanishes in the moment that it is done, and in a hundred years nothing will be there, for nothing is there now. There will be no more sum or result than accumulates from the motion of a revolving cowl on a housetop.
I used to come and stand near the apex of the promontory of pavement which juts out towards the pool of life, I still go there to ponder. London convinced me of my own thought. That thought has always been with me, and always grows wider."
Richard Jefferies (1848-1887)

This is great; thanks! I love the pictures from then and now taken from the same place. When I first arrived in London in February 2005 to take care of my mother she was at Barts (St. Bartholomew's Hospital) and I would take the DLR to Bank and walk from there, so I climbed up the stairs to that corner and then past Mansion House, along Poultry to Cheapside, Newgate Street, and up, every day for many, many days then and later.
I always liked walking past Old Jewry, Ironmonger Lane, Milk Street, and coming back to the Underground station always noted Bucklersbury, now just a little passageway in a modern building on Poultry. It being London, I shouldn't have been surprised to learn recently that that was the remnant of Bucklersbury, which, according to the Encyclopedia of London, was known as a street since the 14th century, near where Thomas More lived. It was full of apothecaries, and the peculiar smell of which is mentioned in The Merry Wives of Windsor. That's one of the things I love most about London – walking along streets that have hardly ever been empty of footsteps for more than 1000 years.

Thank you Gentle Author and Richard Jeffries for a wonderful piece about the pulse of the city and humanity. And thanks also to Gillian Bagwell for her comment about a thousand years of footsteps on London streets. I can't wait to return to the city to add my steps to the thrum.

WONDERFUL !
I love the forrays out into the City of London, they seem like great adventures…dynamic and interesting linking our place to the city and to the world beyond. the context of these important instuitutions now in many cases moved on yet the handsome architecture prevails …a lesson indeed for all concerned in making new projects…number one poultry looks very dandy alongside all these buildings handsome in scale and respectful of context…perhaps you should interview the architect Laurence Bain of Sir James Stirlings' office, i think he would make an interesting read his knowledge of this area is extensive as the building of number one poutlry went through appeal and much historical research for Lord Polumbo the client.
the end result has created one of the citiees first gardens at roof top level with breathtaking views all around.

I am not familiar with Mr. Richard Jefferies, but his take on the scene is certainly a melancholy one. It's as if he is looking at an anthill.

i think you'd like this book. it includes analysis of some of the great walkers or "flaneuses" of london such as v. woolf and, i think, amy levine. i can't remember whether or not it analyzes the great post-blitz walking tour taken by doris lessing in the beginning of The Four-Gated City.
but it touches on many of the points mr. jefferies makes. thank you.

Many thanks for this delightful post. Perhaps you know about the Richard Jefferies museum at his birthplace in Swindon – if not, there are pictures, articles and lots of links here and most of his books, including 'Story of My Heart', are on Project Gutenberg for free download for anyone who's interest has been quickened.
Thanks again – the pictures are marvelous.

Once again another astonishing discovery I might never have made without Spitalfields Life.


I want to put a picture slideshow onto a VSD page, and am wondering how I should be doing this. Should I buy a program that will create slideshows (like WOW Slider for ~$50)? Or is it fairly simple to put in a slideshow html coding inside VSD?
Depends on how fancy you want to get.
Ok thanks. I followed your directions for the slideshow, but am having trouble. Would you mind taking a look?
Remove the html that you pasted into the html box and replace it with this.
For some reason when users copy some of my codes it puts some spaces in the script where it doesn't belong. I removed them for you on the above code.
Ok now you need to alter the script a little more because the files were added to the root of your site instead of a folder named js.
This is how it is in your html box.
Thank you It seems to be showing up now, but not sliding thru the pictures. Maybe the coffeecup preview doesn't show it? Or am I still off in the code somewhere?
Yup. You left an extra j on there.

Effective September 1, 2018, there will be an import restriction on textiles into the country, the Minister of Trade and Industry, Mr Alan Kyerematen, has announced.
"We cannot accept a situation where anybody anywhere can bring in pirated textile prints or counterfeited from any border entry point in this country and they go unchecked," he said.
Addressing the media after a marathon meeting with players in the textile industry and the leadership of the Commercial and Industrial Workers Union (ICU) of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in Accra yesterday, Mr Kyerematen said apart from the government losing revenue due to the practice, it was also undermining the sustainability of the local textile sector.
The meeting was to discuss the way forward in bringing sanity into the textile industry and ensure that local textile producers survive in the market.
Mr Kyerematen said the import restriction would be managed by the government and the industry players themselves.
He explained that the transition period of three months was to enable those engaged in the act to clear their stock, stressing that after the three months, any textile found on the market would have to have a tax stamp and also should have entered the country through the import restricted channels that would be introduced.
He said the current demand for textile prints in the country was 120 million yarns per annum, explaining that what was produced in the country altogether did not exceed even 35 million yarns.
Mr Kyerematen explained that it meant that there was a gap in the demand for textile and so it was not the intention of the government to ban its importation.
However, he pointed out that there was the need to manage the inflow of importation in order that local manufacturers were not edged out of business.
He said the Ministry of Finance would, from June 1, 2018, also begin discussions with industry players in the textile sector for the introduction of tax stamps to regulate the trade in the sector.
"The Ministry of Trade and Industry, working in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance and the entire textile sector, has agreed to introduce tax stamps in the regulation of the textile sector in the country," he said.
Mr Kyerematen said apart from making sure that the government earned the revenue that it deserved from the textile trade, it would also be one of the most significant measures introduced "for us to be able to regulate the trade in this sector, particularly in the market and the retail sector".
He said what it meant was that every piece of fabric would have a tax stamp issued by the Ministry of Finance, adding that it was an opportunity to identify goods that were appropriately costumed to be sold on the market.
"Once this is done, it is easier for us to be able to monitor those who are selling pirated goods or counterfeits or contraband goods," he explained.
Mr Kyerematen also announced that henceforth the task force established a year ago to operate at the border entry points would be empowered to enter the markets and retail centres.
"By extension, this means that any textile print brought into this country other than through the authorised channel will automatically be deemed a contraband and will be seized," he explained.
He announced that the government was going to provide stimulus support for the local companies with financing, hoping that although that would not entirely address their challenges, it would significantly reduce the burden on them.

STRASBOURG, France (Reuters) – European lawmakers approved draft measures on Wednesday to reform the power market and reduce energy consumption that envisage more ambitious climate goals, setting the stage for tough talks with reluctant EU member states.
Under the plan backed by the European Parliament, renewable energy would account for at least 35 percent of the EU's overall energy use by 2030. Last month EU national governments agreed a target of 27 percent, disappointing environmental campaigners who see it as too little to combat climate change.
The industry lobby WindEurope welcomed Wednesday's vote, saying the difference between 27 and 35 percent could mean 92 billion euros less in future investments for the sector.
The draft rules also envisage banning the use of palm oil, a major import from southeast Asia, in motor fuels from 2021, drawing an angry response from the Malaysian government.
The EP, the executive European Commission and EU national governments must now negotiate together on the final legislation.
The draft measures are aimed at helping the European Union meet its overall goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, following the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to no more than 2 degrees.
Since U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to exit the Paris climate accord last year, the EU has sought to stay the course. But it faces challenges in implementing its climate goals while reconciling economic disparities between western and eastern Europe, where much industry is still reliant on coal.
The EU lawmakers also agreed on Wednesday a binding overall energy efficiency target of 35 percent after 2021, compared to a 30 percent non-binding target proposed by member states last year.
Apart from any environmental benefits, the Commission says a 30 percent target would create 400,000 jobs, increase EU economic output by 70 billion euros ($78.30 billion) and reduce the continent's reliance on gas imports by 12 percent.
The draft measures contain provisions for renewable transport fuels, seeking to promote research in advanced technologies and to limit fuels made from food and feed crops, which are blamed for deforestation and higher food prices.
The proposed palm oil ban angered Malaysia.
"The vote by the EU Parliament to exclude palm oil biofuels from the EU's renewable energy future is a wholly unjustified blockade against Malaysian farmers, families and communities," the government said in a statement.
Under the draft measures, biofuels made from other food and feed crops cannot exceed 7 percent of all transport fuel.
"Today's parliament vote sends a clear message to the biofuels industry that growth can only come from sustainable advanced fuels such as waste-based biofuels, not from food crops," said Laura Buffet of campaign group Transport and Environment.

U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom places Vietnam on blacklist for violations of freedom of religion or belief
May 2, 2016	132 Views
PARIS, 2 May 2016 (VCHR) – For the sixteenth consecutive year, since 2001, Vietnam is on a blacklist of countries singled out by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) for "systematic, ongoing and egregious violations" of freedom of religion or belief. USCIRF recommends that Vietnam be designated by the US administration as a "Country of Particular Concern" (CPC).
In its 2016 Annual Report on International Religious Freedom released today, USCIRF recommends 17 countries for CPC designation in 2016. Ten are currently on the US State Department's list: Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. USCIRF recommends maintaining these ten, and adding seven other countries in which religious freedom is seriously abused: Central African Republic, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria and Vietnam.
The US State Department designated Vietnam as a CPC in 2004 and 2005, but removed it in 2006 prior to Vietnam's admission to the World Trade Organization. In August 2015, a delegation of USCIRF Commissioners visited Vietnam to assess the situation of freedom of religion or belief.
"As the USCIRF's report aptly reveals, religious freedom in Vietnam is a question of political control: state-sponsored religions have more freedom than independent ones, registered groups face less harassment that non-registered groups" said Võ Văn Ái, President of the Vietnam Committee on Human Rights (VCHR). "Clearly, the government and Communist Party are not seeking to promote freedom of religion or belief, but to consolidate State control of religions in Vietnam."
According to the USCIRF's findings, whereas significant progress has been achieved for some groups in certain areas, "on the other hand, the government's continuing heavy-handed management of religion continues to lead not only to restrictions and discrimination, but also to individuals being outright harassed, detained, and targeted with physical violence".
Citing abuses against communities including the independent Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam (UBCV), Khmer-Krom Buddhists, Cao Dai, Catholics, Hmong Protestants, Montagnards, Mennonites, Hoa Hao, Falun Gong practitioners and Dương Văn Minh followers, the USCIRF noted that, in particular, "religious organizations that choose not to seek government recognition face greater risk of abuse by government authorities".
The report observes that certain abuses are committed by provincial and local officials because they do not understand government religious policies, but that "central government permits inconsistent and contradictory implementation" at a local level. Based on their meetings during the August 2015 visit, USCIRF concludes that there is "some degree of central government complicity in, or indifference to, provincial-level abuses".
According to the report, whereas Buddhism is practiced by the majority of Vietnam's 94 million population, "those operating independent from the state-sanctioned Vietnamese Buddhist Sangha often are government targets. This includes the leadership of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam (UBCV), such as Thich Quang Do, who remains under house arrest, and Buddhist Youth Movement leader Le Cong Cau. In April 2015, Le Cong Cau was detained and questioned for three days, and later in the year he was prevented several times from traveling to meet visiting government officials from the United States and Germany."
Created under the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act, USCIRF is an independent, bipartisan government advisory body that monitors religious freedom worldwide and makes policy recommendations to the US President, Secretary of State, and Congress. Under the International Religious Freedom Act, the U.S. may impose a series of measures, ranging from travel restrictions to economic sanctions, on countries designated as CPCs.

We have a son named Leon and need another boy name that sounds good with Leon, has no more than three syllables (ideally just two), and doesn't mean anything strange in a major European language (like French or German).
Can you come up with five solid baby name suggestions for this person?
Be independent. Choose your five names before looking at anyone else's list.
Be sincere. Stick to legit recommendations you would offer a real-life friend.
Five names total in your comment. If you go over, I'll have to delete the extras.
Which five baby names are you going to suggest?

Q: Definition of $Y^f$ in category theory: exponential pullback. Pullback exponential is defined as follows.
Let $f \colon A \to B$, $g \colon X \to Y$. Let $C$ be a category with bi-closed, symmetric monoidal structure.
Then the exponential pullback is defined as follows.

It's clear to me that I obtain $g^A$ by applying the right adjoint to $A \otimes -$ to $g$. But I'm having trouble understanding what is $Y^f$. If this was in Set, it would be clear that $Y^f$ is just pre-composition, but how would I understand $Y^f$ in general category?
Thanks!

A: $Y^f$ is precomposition, internalized via the tensor-hom adjunction.
By the adjunction, to give an arrow $Y^B\to Y^A$, it suffices to give an arrow $Y^B\otimes A\to Y$. We have an arrow $\mathrm{eval}\colon Y^B\otimes B\to Y$. So we can get the desired arrow as $\mathrm{eval}\circ (\mathrm{id}_{Y^B}\otimes f)$. Intuitively, this says "apply $f$ to the input in $A$ before evaluating the map in $Y^B$".
Similarly, $g^A$ can be viewed as internalized postcomposition. By the adjunction, to give an arrow $X^A\to Y^A$, it suffices to give an arrow $X^A\otimes A\to Y$. We have an arrow $\mathrm{eval}\colon X^A\otimes A\to X$. So we can get the desired arrow as $g\circ \mathrm{eval}$. Intuitively, this says "apply $g$ to the output in $X$ after evaluating the map in $X^A$".

What To Know About Cold Processed Hair Care
For Act+Acre, it's more than just clean ingredients—the process of getting there is just as important
by Jenna Igneri
Welcome to The Green Scene. Twice a week during the month of April, we're highlighting the designers and brands working to make the world of fashion and beauty a greener, more sustainable place. The brands to support are the ones making a difference; check back every Tuesday and Thursday to meet your new favorites.
Let's face it—clean and ethical hair brands are hard to come by, especially when you compare them to the amount of similarly clean skin-care and cosmetics brands that exist today (but more about that, later this month.) That's why, when we do find a hair brand that falls into this category, we're instantly hooked. And Act+Acre, a genderless brand with a heavy focus on scalp health, is our newest obsession.
Act+Acre considers itself more of a wellness than a hair brand, setting out to create a new standard of care—one that focuses on long-term health rather than short-term results. Based on the premise that healthy hair begins at the scalp, its three-product lineup is simple, an offering of essentials sans any bells and whistles: a hair cleanser, a conditioner, and a pre-wash detoxing scalp treatment.
What makes Act+Acre so unique is how it creates its products, using a patented Cold Process Method, a first within the beauty industry. Typically, when hair products are created, artificial ingredients are added to the formula as natural nutrients evaporate during the traditional high heat production process. Act+Acre uses a hyperbaric chamber, ice cold water, and pressure (1200 pounds of it) to break down the ingredients while retaining all of the efficacy, allowing for clean, environmentally friendly ingredients and toxin-free formulas that perform.
It's not just about the clean ingredients, though. What's also important is that this process uses 90 percent less energy and water than traditional production methods, making it way more sustainable than your run-of-the-mill drugstore shampoo—and even your favorite luxury brands.
That's not all the brand does to ensure it's working against hurting our planet. All of Act+Acre's partners (those who help make the product what it is) must also subscribe to sustainable business practices and healthy wages. The brand's bottles are made from PETG1, the most recyclable form of plastic. The rest of the packaging is fully recyclable from inside out; made of corn foam, it's entirely natural, biodegradable, edible, backyard-compostable, uses 70 percent less energy, produces 80 percent less greenhouse gases compared to traditional packaging, and dissolves in water.
Helen Reavey, who founded the brand along with her husband, explains why there's a lack of eco-friendly hair-care products on the market today. She believes that, up until recently, the science behind the process of creating shampoo and conditioner was never truly challenged. "The industry had just accepted that, in order to make these products, we must use very high levels of heat, sulfates, and parabens to achieve a favorable product." This was something that Reavey didn't agree with, which is how, with the help of chemists and botanists, she came up with the brand's method of cold-processing.
Additionally, it's not easy or cheap to package them in a sustainable manner. "When it comes to packaging, you have to remember that these items will be living in a hot, steamy, wet shower, so immediately, you're limited when it comes to packaging, as glass is obviously not a viable option," she says. "PETG1 is a costly plastic that not many vendors worldwide produce. So, most brands opt for the cheapest and most user-friendly, non-recyclable, squeezable plastic."
Still, as brands—both in beauty and spanning categories beyond—begin to work toward a more sustainable existence, Reavey believes that hair care will become a bigger part of this movement. "I really see the future of hair care being focused on the method and process behind how the products are being made," she says. "There are constant breakthroughs ingredients, but no one is thinking of the actual mechanics and science behind it. To date, the industry has been satisfied with using heat and chemical emulsion to formulate their products, but we have changed the game with our Cold Process Method."
