Australia's bishops protest national move to force priests to reveal confessions
Canberra, Australia, Dec 2, 2019 / 02:01 pm (CNA).- Australia's Catholic bishops support "nationally consistent" reporting standards for the abuse of minors, but cannot support new national legal standards that would force priests to report real or suspected child abuse learned under the strict confidence of sacramental confessions, the bishops have said.
"The removal of protections at law would be ineffective, counter-productive and unjust: ineffective because abusers do not seek out confession and certainly would not seek it out if they knew that their offences would be reported," Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Brisbane, president of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, said in a statement to Reuters.
"Counter-productive because the rare opportunity a priest may have to counsel abusers to turn themselves in and amend their life would be lost; and unjust because it would establish as a matter of law a situation where a priest would not be able to defend himself against an accusation made against him," he added.
Attorneys-general in Australia's federal and state governments have agreed on reporting standards that would require priests to break the sacramental seal or violate Australia's mandatory abuse reporting rules. Further, priests would not be able to use the defense of privileged communications in the confessional seal to avoid giving evidence against a third party in criminal or civil proceedings.
"Confessional privilege cannot be relied upon to avoid a child protection or criminal obligation to report beliefs, suspicions or knowledge of child abuse," said a communique released after a Nov. 29 meeting of the attorneys-general.
If priests were to follow these new requirements and break confidentiality, they would commit mortal sin and be automatically excommunicated. The 1983 Code of Canon Law holds that the sacramental seal is "inviolable" and it is "absolutely forbidden for a confessor to betray in any way a penitent in words or in any manner and for any reason." The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that the secrecy of the confessional "admits of no exceptions."
In an October interview about a Victorian law seeking to violate the confidentiality of the confessional in cases of the abuse of minors, Archbishop Peter Comensoli of Melbourne said that he personally would keep the seal.
The archbishop said that confessions of child sexual abuse within the context of confession are extremely rare. He would urge anyone who confessed to abuse to report themselves to the police. However, Catholic practice forbids a priest from ordering a penitent to turn themselves in to the authorities.
Comensoli said he would also encourage a person who confessed to abuse to repeat the admission again outside of the context of confession, where the seal would not apply and he would be free to report the abuser to the police.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, a five-year Australian government inquiry, concluded in 2017 with over 100 recommendations. These recommendations included requiring religious leaders to report child abuse.
Teachers, police, and medical practitioners are already legally required to report allegations of child physical and sexual abuse.
In September, when the Tasmania legislature passed a mandatory reporting law that did not provide for the confidentiality of the confessional, Archbishop Julian Porteous of Hobart said the pope has made it clear "there can be no exceptions to the inviolability of the seal of confession."
The Church will comply with all other requirements of the mandatory reporting law, he said.
"Priests and all who work for the Church understand their obligations before the law to report on matters of child sexual abuse. Priests, however, cannot comply with law that would require them to violate their commitment to the Church's consistent teaching on the inviolability of the sacramental seal."
"Governments can give all sorts of justifications for wanting to know what has been confessed to a priest, from the most noble (the protection of innocent human life) to the most base (the maintenance of political power)," he said.
"If one priest was to break it the faithful would lose confidence that what they confess could be made public or used against them," said Porteous, who cited the examples of saints who gave their lives rather than violate the seal of confession.
The Constitution of Australia establishes religious freedom. It is unclear whether legal challenge to the rules could succeed.
The first law compelling priests to report confessions of abuse was passed in 2018 in the Australian Capital Territory. The states of New South Wales, Queensland, and Western Australia had preserved legal protections for priests who seek to maintain confidentiality, the Mail on Sunday reports.
Cardinal George Pell, who was Archbishop of Sydney from 2001 to 2014, is currently appealing a conviction on five charges that he sexually abused two underage choristers after Sunday Mass while he was Archbishop of Melbourne in 1996 and 1997. He is presently serving a six-year prison sentence.

Iranian nuncio appeals for negotiation, not revenge
January 7, 2020 CNA Daily News 0
Tehran, Iran, Jan 7, 2020 / 11:25 am (CNA).- As tensions escalate between Iran and the United States following the killing of Qasem Soleimani, the pope's diplomat in Tehran is appealing for dialogue.
Archbishop Leo Boccardi has served as apostolic nuncio to Iran since 2013. Speaking to EWTN News from Tehran, Boccardi said he has been keeping the Vatican updated on the situation on the ground in Tehran with regular dispatches to the Secretariat of State.
"I believe that the words of the Holy Father have been an invitation to moderation, to dialogue, to negotiation to get through the tension and to see, to hope, that there are none of these … acts of revenge," Archbishop Boccardi told EWTN News Jan. 6.
The pope called for dialogue and self-control in the "terrible air of tension" in his Angelus address Jan. 5.
Archbishop Boccardi said he does not foresee immediate implications for the small population of Christians living in Iran due to the U.S. drone strike that killed Soleimani, saying it is not a religious conflict. "It is a war that is unfolding between Iran and another particular opponent who has a name and surname," Boccardi said.
US President Donald Trump ordered the drone strike that killed Soleimani, head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force, as well as Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, at the Baghdad International Airport Jan. 3.
The airstrike followed an attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, and U.S. officials claim that Soleimani had planned additional attacks against Americans. The US State Department had designated Soleimani a global terrorist in 2011.
Iranian president Hassan Rouhani pledged revenge for the drone attack that killed Soleimani, and Trump threatened in a tweet Jan. 4 to target Iranian cultural sites if Iran were to strike any Americans, a move which Pentagon officials later rejected. Chants of "Death to America" were heard at Soleimani's funeral Jan. 6.
"Good politics is at the service of peace, the whole international community must put itself at the service of peace, not only in the region but in the whole world," Archbishop Boccardi said in an Italian Vatican Radio interview Jan. 3.
"The appeal is to lower tension, call everyone to negotiation," he said. "We must believe in dialogue."
Boccardi said that a peaceful Middle East is the responsibility of the international community. The nuncio said "pacta sunt servanda" (agreements are to be kept) is an important rule for diplomacy, and underlined that the rules of law must be respected by everyone.
"We must 'arm ourselves' with other weapons which are those of justice and goodwill," he said.
Cardinal Louis Raphael I Sako, Chaldean Patriarch of Babylon, echoed the nuncio's sentiment, calling for prayer, prudence, and dialogue.
"I have to say personally that I am very shocked by hearing the words 'taking revenge,'" Sako told EWTN News Jan. 6.
"We are very lucky to be Christian because our culture and our education and our mentality is a mentality of peace, respect, and life, and not of blood and taking revenge," the Iraqi cardinal said.
Sako said that he believes that Europe can be a bridge to aid with dialogue between Iran and Iraq, as well as with the United States.
"The international community has a responsibility for what is happening in the region in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Iran now. They should help people to sit together and to dialogue in a civilized way and to look for a political solution … not fighting, and threatening people and so on," he said.
"And I ask all of our Christians to pray for us and to keep us in their prayers," he added.

US military archbishop prays following USS John S McCain collision
Singapore, Aug 22, 2017 / 11:18 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Archbishop Timothy Broglio of the US military archdiocese offered prayers Monday after a US Navy destroyer collided with a tanker off the coast of Singapore, resulting in five injured and 10 missing US sailors.
Remains of some of the missing sailors were found in sealed crew compartments by divers the following day. It was the second crash involving a US Navy ship in as many months, and the fourth in a year.
"Once again the shepherds and faithful of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, raise our voices in prayer for the deceased, injured, and remaining members of the crew of the USS John S. McCain, which collided with another ship last night," Archbishop Broglio said Aug. 21. "We pray for the repose of their souls and for the families who mourn such a tragic loss."
"Mindful of those who defend the nation in troubled times and in danger, we renew our prayers for a just and lasting peace in the world," he concluded.
The collision between the USS John S. McCain and a commercial oil tanker Alnic MC occurred east of the Malacca Strait off the coast of Singapore around 5:20 am.
Four of the five injured sailors were airlifted to a hospital in Singapore, though their injuries are not considered life-threatening. According to CNN, a search and rescue mission for the 10 missing sailors is ongoing and has recovered one body, which they are working to identify.
Tuesday US Navy Admiral Scott Swift said that "some remains" of the other missing U.S. sailors have been found in sealed compartments aboard the ship. "Until we have exhausted any potential of recovering survivors or bodies, the search and rescue efforts will continue," Swift stated.
The USS John S. McCain is named in honor of John S. McCain, Sr. and John S. McCain, Jr., who were admirals. They are the grandfather and father, respectively, of Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.). The destroyer was commissioned in 1994.
According to a Navy official, the collision was caused when the crew lost control of the ship through a steering failure.
In response, the Navy ordered a rare, one-day pause of operations. This means that over the next few weeks, fleets will take a one-day, safety stand-down at the discretion of individual fleet commanders.
Admiral John Richardson, chief of naval operations, said that the "trend demands more forceful action" and that there will be "a deliberate reset for our ships focused on a number of areas, such as navigation, ship's mechanical systems and bridge resource management."
The Alnic MC sustained some damage above the waterline, but none of its crew were injured and no oil spilled.
On June 17 a similar accident occurred when the USS Fitzgerald, also a destroyer, collided with a container ship off the coast of Japan. Seven sailors died as a result of the accident. The bodies of the deceased sailors were all recovered aboard the ship.
At the time of the accident, Archbishop Broglio expressed his "heartfelt sympathy to the families whose loved ones perished in this unfortunate incident."
"Deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life on the USS Fitzgerald, I ask all of the faithful to remember in prayer the victims and their families."
"The Naval community at Yokosuka has responded with great care in attempting to meet the physical, psychological, and spiritual needs of those who survived the collision," he continued. "May Almighty God give them continued fortitude in the days ahead."
In May, a US Navy guided missile cruiser collided with a fishing vessel, and in August 2016 one of its submarines collided with a support vessel.
My opinion of Australian "justice" keeps getting lower and lower and lower.

Can you smell.. What DC.. Is cooking?!
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson announced today that he will be playing the role of Captain Marvel's nemesis, the sometimes antihero Black Adam in the upcoming Shazam movie from New Line Cinema and DC Comics.
The Rock has been teasing his possible role in a future DC movie, however many thought he would be playing the eponymous role of Shazam in a rumored extremely kid friendly film.
With Dwayne confirmed to be Black Adam I am hoping the movie will take a darker route – and personally I think that he can fill the position of Black Adam perfectly, as he was (and sometimes still is) the Most Electrifying Man in all of Sports Entertainment! Ironic, no?

The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln
A Warwick perspective

Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 14th April 1865. A tumultuous event in world affairs, this act also reached Warwick, and excited much talk and reflection amongst the councillors, media, and people of the county town.
Shock and horror
The news of Lincoln's assassination was received in Warwick on Wednesday 26th April, with official confirmation a day later. It attracted much shock, horror and debate amongst the locals. General consensus appears to have been that the South had been out of control, and a number of 'terrorist' attacks, for want of a better modern term, had been committed by the South before this atrocity. The Warwick Advertiser of 29th April reported that "if the news of the President's murder was unprecedented, the manifestations it has produced throughout the country are also without a parallel".
Warwick, indeed, was moved to pay note to the event. At the Council's quarterly meeting of 9th May, Alderman Moore passed his condolences to the American government and people. The news had given rise to "feelings of horror indignation and regret." The United States Minister's response on the 6th June is given to the 13th June meeting. He "desire[d]… to express on behalf of his country his grateful sense of the feeling which prompted this communication," forwarding the message of condolence to Washington.
A damning tone
Meanwhile, the Warwick Advertiser continued to strike a strident tone against the South and Lincoln's murder, pointing out that the act would not help the South's cause, and warning any Englishmen supporting Southern independence that the civil war was motivated by a desire to maintain slavery. Damning the South as "the wickedest community in the world" (6th May 1865) the tone from Warwick's newspaper was nothing if not firm.
In the Advertiser's view, Lincoln's assassination "has blindly elevated… [him] into a martyr."
Lincoln's assassination was one of the last acts of the American Civil War. The Advertiser reports that Johnston's army surrendered on the 9th May, virtually bringing a halt to the war. From the Advertiser's perspective a weakened South was good for Britain, and would lead to better relations between the two nations.

How Clean Beauty Retailers Are Trying To Fix Their Diversity Problems
In 2016, Gwyneth Paltrow literally published the book on clean beauty. That book, "Goop Clean Beauty," recommended detoxing, seeing expensive dermatologists, improving gut health by curbing consumption of gluten, chlorinated water and food preservatives, and shopping for beauty products without ingredients like parabens and phthalates that have become well-known clean beauty bugaboos.
In a clean beauty segment that wasn't crowded with megawatt celebrity spokespeople—Estée Lauder, where Paltrow previously had a deal, Chanel, Dior, Covergirl and Revlon had more to shell out for famous faces than comparatively piddly clean beauty brands—Paltrow became an authority. She helped define clean beauty as a healthy alternative to luxury conventional beauty with the aspirational, exorbitant and restrictive trappings of its predecessor. She embodied the category as a thin, wealthy white woman.
The merchandising of the beauty selection on Goop's website followed suit with brands such as Vintner's Daughter, Tammy Fender, Chantecaille, True Botanicals, Dr. Barbara Sturm and its namesake line. Speaking of the selection in Goop's clean beauty book, Paltrow wrote, "We fill the shelves in the GOOP Clean Beauty Shop only from companies that are doing better by all of us." The brands might do "better by all of us," but they don't come from all of us. Out of around 230 beauty and wellness brands carried by Goop, at most five have Black founders involved, including Karité, Golde and Unilever-owned Nyakio Beauty. The e-tailer didn't respond to a request for comment.
Goop isn't alone in having a dearth of Black-owned brands in its assortment. A review of online brand lists at leading clean beauty retailers revealed lineups dominated by white-owned brands. Out of the 45 brands listed on Follain's website, one—Organic Bath Co.—has a Black founder. Out of the almost 150 brands Credo carries, four have Black founders: Beneath Your Mask, Unsun Cosmetics, Eu'Genia and EleVen By Venus Williams, which developed sunscreens in collaboration with the retailer. Out of the about 170 brands The Detox Market stocks, Black entrepreneurs helm five: Briogeo, Eu'Genia, Sade Baron, Karité and PiperWai. Black-owned Unsun Cosmetics, Golde and Biophile will soon be joining its flotilla of brands.
"The lack of diversity in beauty and especially clean beauty is appalling," says Dorian Morris, founder of Undefined Beauty. After the Black Lives Matter protests demanding justice for George Floyd's killing began in May, consumers and beauty industry insiders called out clean beauty retailers among companies in myriad of industries for their lack of diversity. Morris says, "This movement is the lifting of the veil because you can't bring change without first recognizing the problem, but there's a lot of work and heavy lifting ahead— and the onus is on you, not us."
To begin to assess the problem, clean beauty retailers identified Black-owned brands within their assortments. They had never done so before. Asked via email if she previously knew the racial backgrounds of the founders of brands sold at Credo, COO and co-founder Annie Jackson, replies, "Not unless we met in person, but I do think that is what has been eye-opening. As a company, that was not something we considered because we are welcoming to everyone, but…it has made us think that we should intentionally carve out space for Black-owned brands. Let's seek them out. Where we always thought we were totally inclusive, we maybe have unintentionally been unapproachable."
Eu'Genia Shea is available at Macy's, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, Credo and The Detox Market. Founder and CEO Naa-Sakle Akuete sells the brand Mother's Shea at Target, too.
To Black clean beauty brand founders and shoppers, the lack of diversity at clean beauty retailers isn't eye-opening. Preceding the recent protests, the clean beauty segment was engaged in a big conversation about shade inclusivity. Yet, progress has been slow. The sizes of foundation shade ranges aren't perfect proxies for inclusivity, but, judging by them, clean beauty retailers fall far behind Sephora, where Fenty Beauty raised the bar for makeup inclusivity by launching 40 foundation shades in 2017 and made 40 shades an important industry benchmark. Clean beauty retailers don't carry 40 shades of foundation from a brand.
"Let's look at what LVMH did with Rihanna. There is no equivalent in clean beauty," says The Detox Market founder and CEO Romain Gaillard, referring to Fenty Beauty being in the portfolio of LVMH Moët Hennessy-owned Kendo. "Now that clean beauty is becoming bigger and bigger, it would be great to do it and tackle this issue." Credo appears to be tackling the issue. On social media, it has said it's unveiling a foundation brand with 43 shades in August.
Unlike shade range inclusivity, inclusive brand rosters haven't been a priority for clean beauty retailers—and they have acted accordingly. A lot of Black founders have pitched their brands to be a part of clean beauty selections at clean beauty retailers and other stores, only to be ignored or rejected. Of course, rejection and indifference isn't unusual from retail buyers inundated by brand solicitations, but the reactions Black founders frequently receive their white equivalents don't receive.
Funlayo Alabi, founder of Shea Radiance, has encountered an unofficial limit to the number of Black-owned brands on store shelves. She contacted one retailer upon noticing there was a gap in its collection for a product like her brand's moisturizer. "What the buyer told me was, 'We already have this product.' I said, 'What's the name of the brand you have that's doing it?' I Googled the brand, and the only thing that this brand had in common with us was that the owner was Black, and we had shea butter as an ingredient," says Alabi. "I told the buyer, 'The only thing this brand had in common with us was that the owner was Black, and we had shea butter as an ingredient. We are doing different things. What you are saying is that you can only have one Black-owned brand.' He was kind of taken aback. I don't think he had malice intended."
"The onus is on you, not us."
Rahama Wright, founder of SheaYeleen, has also been turned away by retailers that have an existing shea butter-focused brand in their offerings. She says, "I think that there can literally be 1,000 white people selling the same exact thing, and it's still OK, but, if there are two Black people selling something that's similar, we have too many of the same things." SheaYeleen is rebranding to Yeleen Beauty and broadening its focus beyond shea butter to help it gain access to the narrow retail space that's been afforded Black-owned brands.
Clean beauty retailers have been receptive to Eu'Genia. Founder and CEO Naa-Sakle Akuete was pitching retailers with no luck for about a year in advance of reaching out to clean beauty stores. In 2016, Eu'Genia participated in the Sephora Accelerate program, and India Leval, VP of online merchandising at Sephora and Akuete's mentor in the program, advised her to try clean beauty retailers. Her advice was advantageous.
"Annie Jackson at Credo actually opened my email on the first send, took time to speak with me within a week, and onboarded us later that same month," recounts Akuete. "They were our first retailer and, so while it is super disappointing that there aren't more BIPOC brands represented within clean beauty, as it relates to Eu'Genia, the delay was due to my relatively limited experience in the beauty space more broadly." Currently, Eu'Genia is at Macy's, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters as well as Credo and The Detox Market, and Akuete sells the brand Mother's Shea at Target, too.
In the four years since Eu'Genia entered Credo, clean beauty has matured and access to retail gatekeepers in the sector has become increasingly circumscribed. SheaYeleen and Shea Radiance are both available at Whole Foods regionally. Prior to Amazon's 2017 purchase of Whole Foods, the grocer's local buying infrastructure gave clean beauty brands several points of entry. Under Amazon, Whole Foods transitioned to greater centralized buying, pinching off points of entry. "You need to have access to the decision makers, and that's where it gets tricky for minority businesses who maybe don't have that immediate connection with a buyer," says Alabi. "Whole Foods is definitely much better [than elsewhere], but it's still challenging. I got in there because I had a friend who knew a friend who knew a friend who knew a buyer there."
Shea Radiance's distribution is expected to reach 1,100 retail stores in the third quarter of this year. The brand is currently available at natural grocers, including Whole Foods and Mom's Organic Market. Vivian Marie Doering
Whole Foods wasn't a haven for Black beauty brand founders even in its pre-Amazon era. Wright recalls being the sole Black attendee at a vendor appreciation event the grocer held. "I was the only person of color, not just the only Black person. There were no Asians. There were no Hispanics. In those events, you are unfortunately exoticized. You become this thing almost," she says. "When you are the only person of color surrounded by white people. It makes you feel even more like an outsider." Discussing Whole Foods, which SheaYeleen broke into six years ago, she continues, "For a clean beauty brand with social impact, 100% I don't know where else I could have gotten into retail. I feel like it's an amazing opportunity and starting point, but, when you are starting to scale and grow, it's much more difficult than going to Sephora or Ulta."
The maturation and sales potential of the clean beauty category has attracted entrepreneurs with strong beauty industry resumes. Although common clean beauty brand origin stories remain—e.g., moms realizing they don't want to slather themselves or their babies in synthetic formulas, so they make their own plant-based options—they're becoming less standard. Instead, new clean beauty brands are being established by seasoned beauty executives sensing market opportunities. (See Alison Haljun and Christin Powell of Kinship, Alisa Metzger of INNBeauty Project and Amy Zunzunegui of WLDKAT.) While there are definitely Black clean beauty brand founders with substantial beauty industry track records—Morris's career has wound through Coty, Sundial and Kendo, and Bread Beauty Supply's Maeva Heim had stints at L'Oréal and Procter & Gamble—beauty conglomerate executive teams aren't bastions of diversity, making the clean beauty entrepreneurs that have been incubated at them not diverse as a result. Black brand founders without extensive beauty industry relationships fight an uphill battle against founders tied into the beauty industry ecosystem.
Wright argues retailers should look for brands outside of their usual circles. "Retailers have to expand their pool in terms of product discovery. This is why I firmly believe that having an advisory council setup of Black brands and POC brands can help retailers with discovery and exposure to up-and-coming brands," she says. "Yes, buyers have a lot on their plates and a fire hose of brands constantly trying to get their attention, but they need to be willing to make an additional effort to learn more about diverse brands."
Clean beauty retailers seem to grasp that they have to widen the scope of their scouting to diversify their brand founder arsenals. "Today, we use an online system meant to assist our buyers in the volume of submissions they receive and it ensures that a brand founder is able to communicate the differentiation of their brand, positioning, ingredients, etc. Race was not part of the equation. We now think this needs a total overhaul," says Jackson. "We need to figure out a different way so brands looking to be considered for Credo are evaluated more holistically. We are still determining the best way to do this for the amount of brands that submit compared to the size of our team."
"Retailers have to expand their pool in terms of product discovery."
Black beauty industry experts stress it's not simply about the scouting process. The people scouting are critical. Robyn Watkins, founder of Holistic Beauty Group, says, "People can donate money and make statements, but you have to fix your own house. If you want to have an inclusive retail environment, you have to have those voices at the table who can make recommendations from their lens." Turning to a personal example, Tanya Hart, director of Diadem Business Consulting, says, "I've got a consultant, and she's Danish Somalian. So, she's mixed race, and she uses halal beauty. Even though I'm Black, if I didn't have her on my team, we would never talk about halal beauty. Because I've never experienced it, I wouldn't know where to start on it."
Clean beauty retailers have made commitments to diversifying their workforces. The Detox Market has said it will improve hiring, professional training and career advancement practices for Black, Indigenous and people of color, and seek diverse job candidates for openings in the full range of positions, including those in leadership. In an inclusivity oath posted on its site, Follain says, "We will deliberately and proactively source diverse candidates for all future open roles across the organization, from internships to leadership positions." In addition, the retailer promised to expand its influencer partnerships to boost inclusive content. Follain and The Detox Market have committed to regular trainings to expose their biases. Gaillard says, "For me, this conversation of how you move from being non-racist to being actively anti-racist is the most important part."
Access without investment will inhibit the achievement of diversity goals. A persistent wealth gap between white and Black Americans, and elevated denial rates for Black loan applicants compared to white loan applicants make it more difficult for Black brand founders to amass the money needed to make retail rollouts successful. Lake Louise, founder of Plain Jane Beauty, says she's stuck to spas, small boutiques and the brand's site due to the lofty costs of retail. She elaborates, "We felt the competition on the shelf and the requirements, from the display units to the sampling, was just too high maintenance."
Follain and Credo have agreed to the 15% Pledge created by designer Aurora James to urge retailers to dedicate at least 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned brands. Follain and The Detox Market pledge to dedicate at least 20% of their shelf space to brands from Black, Indigenous and people of color founders. The Detox Market is allotting $1 million over the course of four years to launch and accelerate brands from Black, Indigenous and people of color founders through its The Launchpad program. A submission form for The Launchpad is on its site. Jackson is mentoring brands in participation with Clean Beauty Summer School, program that will culminate in a Black-owned beauty startup winning $10,000 from the New Voices Foundation. Credo has kicked off mentoring platform Credo For Change to aid Black beauty entrepreneurs in navigating product development, clean ingredients, packaging choices, marketing and fundraising.
Range Beauty founder Alicia Scott emphasizes Black-owned brands need financial support to help them make it in retail. She says, "With many Black-owned brands, founders are not receiving investments at the rate of White-founded brands."
"Retailers need to understand you can't just put a brand like mine on the shelf and think that solves things. With many Black-owned brands, founders are not receiving investments at the rate of White-founded brands. We're often completely bootstrapped and so may not have the marketing power as the brand next to us or the capital for mass inventory," says Range Beauty founder Alicia Scott. "There should be a review of what can be done to help indie brands succeed on the shelf. This could mean waiving certain fees for the first year, giving a marketing allowance for the first year, signing guarantee notes for brands to give to their manufacturers, whatever can be done to help these brands prove themselves so they aren't booted from the shelves after one try due to lack of resources and not product quality."
Sources tell Beauty Independent clean beauty retailers are shaving margins, vowing marketing support and dropping prolonged net terms in favor of pre-paying for purchase orders to a with cash flow to secure Black-owned brands for their shelves. "Until now, the majority of brands that have been launched were white-owned and attracted most of investment capital. We have to shift this dynamic and ensure that minority founders have equal access to capital. How do you fix that? It is going to take energy and time, but the great thing is people are ready for it," says Gaillard. He insists initiatives can't be fleeting. Gaillard says, "Building a brand takes years and years. How do you really invest in the long term in marketing and give more visibility? That's how the changes will happen."
On top of money, Watkins suggests retailers "get in the kitchen" with Black founders. Clean beauty retailers have shepherded brands such as Alpyn Beauty in their nascent stages to enhance their chances at being hits on their shelves. Watkins says, "If they see they have a great product, but perhaps the packaging is not where it should be, they can say perhaps you should do this or see this consultant. Give feedback because that's really important."
She's hopeful the spotlight on Black-owned beauty brands will transform the clean beauty landscape. "There are certain brand founders that have done great things and have great products, and this is their moment to expand and level up. I think it will bring new consumers into these retailers that they didn't have before, and it will give them more credibility," says Watkins. "Ten years down the road, it will actually be an inclusive environment, and they can look at other diversity sets. It's not just Black founders. There's a lot of work to do." Alabi emphasizes retail buyers "are actually leaving money on the table from their Black sisters. The solutions we are proposing will be good for everybody."
The number of brands owned by Black founders selling at clean beauty stores is very low. Out of around 230 beauty and wellness brands carried by Goop, at most five have Black founders involved, including Karité, Golde and Unilever-owned Nyakio Beauty.
When pitching retailers, Black brand founders often encounter an unofficial quota for Black-owned brands. If there's already a Black-owned brand featuring a certain ingredient or in a certain category on the shelf, they frequently get rejected.
Follain and The Detox Market have pledged to dedicate at least 20% of their shelf space to brands from Black, Indigenous and people of color founders. Credo has signed onto the 15% Pledge to commit at least 15% of its shelf space to Black-owned brands.
Black beauty industry experts and entrepreneurs say diverse workforces are crucial to creating representative brand rosters. Robyn Watkins, founder of Holistic Beauty Group, says, "If you want to have an inclusive retail environment, you have to have those voices at the table who can make recommendations from their lens."
Clean beauty retailers have made commitments to diversifying their workforces by considering diverse applicants across the full range of positions.
Access to retail gatekeepers is only one part of the equation. Faced with funding disadvantages, Black-owned brands need financial support to be successful at retail. Sources tell Beauty Independent that clean beauty retailers are trying to ease the financial burdens on them by shaving margins, vowing marketing support and dropping prolonged net terms in favor of pre-paying for purchase orders.
The Detox Market has introduced The Launchpad program to launch and accelerate brands from Black, Indigenous and people of color founders. It's dedicated $1 million over four years to the program. Annie Jackson, COO and co-founder of Credo, is mentoring brands in participation with Clean Beauty Summer School, program that will culminate in a Black-owned beauty startup winning $10,000 from the New Voices Foundation. Credo has kicked off mentoring platform Credo For Change to aid Black beauty entrepreneurs in navigating product development, clean ingredients, packaging choices, marketing and fundraising.
Diversifying brand rosters can help clean beauty retailers reach audiences they've yet to reach.

Donald Trump Is Peddling Unsubstantiated Nonsense That Ted Cruz's Dad Helped JFK's Assassin
By Josh Voorhees
Ted Cruz's father, Rafael, addresses the Faith and Freedom Coalition's policy conference on June 20, 2014, in Washington, D.C.
Republican front-runner and BS factory Donald Trump is at it again. During a phone interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Trump suggested that Ted Cruz's father helped Lee Harvey Oswald in the months before he assassinated John F. Kennedy. Yes, that is actually something the likely nominee of one of the country's two major political parties alleged on national television about a rival in the year 2016.
"His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being—you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous," Trump said. "What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it." The reality TV star continued: "I mean, what was he doing—what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death, before the shooting?"
The outlandish claim isn't a Trump original but instead comes by way of the National Enquirer, which has endorsed Trump and churned out a string of unsubstantiated hit pieces about his rivals, including one that quasi-alleged that Cruz has serially cheated on his wife and another that claimed Hillary Clinton is an alcoholic who's suffered three strokes and is battling multiple sclerosis. It's no surprise, then, that Trump wants more people talking about the tabloid's "reporting."
This particular Enquirer story claims that Cruz's father, Rafael, is the man in the white shirt standing next to Oswald in a video taken in New Orleans in August of 1963, several months before JFK was killed in Dallas. The Warren Commission was never able to identify the mystery man, but the newspaper had experts compare the images with photos taken of Cruz's father during the late 1950s and early 1960s. While the results don't sound anything close to conclusive—"there's more similarity than dissimilarity," said one expert; "they seem to match," said another—the tabloid nonetheless saw fit to slap "Ted Cruz Father Now Linked to JFK Assassination!" on its front page. Trump knew what to do from there.
The Cruz camp has already dismissed the JFK story as "garbage," which seems like a fair assessment. As the Miami Herald, which looked into the tabloid story, put it: "The explosive suggestion that Cruz's father would have had any affiliation with Oswald is not corroborated in any other way."
Fun fact: Trump is now polling above 50 percent among Republican voters in some polls and will become the prohibitive favorite to be his party's nominee if he wins Indiana on Tuesday.

Q: Build a list with the same n items I'm trying to do with Racket a function that will return a list with n identical items.
I have tried this:
#lang racket

(build-list 5 (lambda () '*))

But I get the error:
build-list: contract violation
  expected: (exact-nonnegative-integer? . -> . any/c)
  given: #<procedure>

I want to get this: (* * * * *).
How can I do it?

A: The lambda function that you pass in needs to accept one argument which is the index of the element (as you can see from the error message: (exact-nonnegative-integer? . -> . any/c)). This is useful when you are trying to build a list whose elements vary depending on index position. E.g., (build-list 5 (lambda (n) n)) produces '(0 1 2 3 4)
In your case, the argument is useless as the list that you want to build has the same content for all elements. However, you need to accept the argument anyway. That is, use (build-list 5 (lambda (n) '*)). If you find this ugly, there's also thunk* which is a shorthand for creating a lambda that accepts anything but ignores arguments. So you can also write (build-list 5 (thunk* '*)). If you are using #lang racket/base, you need to (require racket/function) to use thunk*.

A: I think you should use const in this case -
#lang racket
(build-list 5 (const '*))
;; => '(* * * * *)

From the docs -
(const v) → procedure?
v : any

Returns a procedure that accepts any arguments (including keyword arguments) and returns v.
Examples -
((const 'foo) 1 2 3)
;; 'foo

((const 'foo))
;; 'foo

I see you tried implementing your own tail-recursive form. Here's a revision that doesn't use the costly append operation -
(define (my-build-list n proc)
  (let loop ((acc empty)
             (n (sub1 n)))
    (if (< n 0)
        acc
        (loop (cons (proc n) acc)
              (sub1 n)))))

(my-build-list 5 (const '*))
;; '(* * * * *)

(my-build-list 5 identity)
;; '(0 1 2 3 4)

A: Testing, I have found how to do it using tail recursion:
#lang racket

(define my-build-list
  (lambda (n l)
    (if (zero? n) l (my-build-list (- n 1) (append l (list '*))))))

(my-build-list 5 '())

> '(* * * * *)

I only add this answer as an example of how to do it using tail recursion.

A: I think you want the function make-list
(make-list 5 '*) => (* * * * *)

Two Scioto County junior high school girls were selected by the local American Association of University Women to receive Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) scholarships to Denison University in Granville.
Olivia Deacon and Paige Martin were awarded full tution scholarships to attend a week-long residential camp in central Ohio.
The scholarships are a collaborative effort between AAUW and the Southern Ohio Medical Center's Development Foundation. SOMC, an annual participant in the Scioto Foundation's "Scioto Gives" program, makes the collaboration possible. "Scioto Gives" is a one-day matching gift program for local non-profit organizations. Through this shared endeavor, at least one AAUW Be WISE scholarship is awarded annually. This STEM scholarship is designed exclusively for girls in the sixth or seventh grades who will be entering the seventh or eighth grades in the fall to encourage careers in science, technology, engineering and math.
Deacon is a seventh-grade student at Wheelersburg Middle School who received a STEM scholarship from AAUW last year as a sixth grader. Martin is a seventh-grade student at Minford Middle School who is receiving the prestigious award for the first time.
Deacon and Martin will spend one full week at Denison University exploring physics, chemistry, ecology, astronomy, economics, engineering and technology, and even become part of a research and development team to design and construct a product. But the week-long hands-on camp is not all academics. It also includes the use of the university swimming pool, field games, coding, and a wide variety of fun and relaxing activities.
Girls attending the STEM camp not only gain confidence in science, math, technology and engineering, but they also develop life-long comaraderie with like-minded girls from around the state. A separate STEM curriculum is designed for each grade level, allowing junior high school girls the opportunity to explore a comprehensive STEM program when they attend both years. The curriculum goal of both grade levels is to enhance problem solving and critical thinking skills.
Scholarship winners who attend the camp during the two summers of their junior high school years will not only experience the full STEM program, but also forge friendships over the course of two summers.
The girls sleep and eat in the college dorms, learn in modern science labs, and use campus recreational facilities. They experience dorm life and are under the supervision of accomplished counselors who are former campers. The adolescent girls spend four hours per day in classes taught by females in STEM fields who serve as role models.
AAUW/Portsmouth has been providing STEM scholarships to area junior high school girls for more than a decade. Over the years, those applying for AAUW's Be WISE scholarships have soared academically, on the field and in their communities. As a result, many Be WISE applicants have attended the STEM camp for two consecutive summers.
To learn more about the scholarship for summer 2019 or for questions about the scholarship or AAUW, contact an AAUW member, email reiser_sandra@yahoo.com or call 740-354-2909 or 740-352-4424.

YG Entertainment in the Hot Seat After Offending China in Netflix's "YG Future Strategy Office"
October 11, 2018 December 13, 2019 admin
Korean entertainment company, "YG Entertainment", had collaborated with Netflix on an original series called, "YG Future Strategy Office" that currently airs on it's streaming platform. The show is hosted by Big Bang member, Seungri. On one episode, it showed a map of China that Chinese netizens proclaim is an "incomplete map of China that left out the South China Sea coastal territories," which has been in territorial dispute between China and neighboring Southeast countries. A lot of Chinese netizens commented and said, "This destroys the territorial integrity of China."

In another scene, there are two Korean bodyguards dressed in Qing dynasty costumes. When the two are caught, they use Chinese to say, "I am a pig." This angered a lot of Chinese netizens with many feeling this was discriminating against the Chinese and insulting China. Some of the comments range from, "Support the Korean ban!" to "Ban YG." There were also some netizens that left comments on YG Entertainment's CEO, Yang Hyun Suk's Instagram, demanding an apology.
Due to the pressure from Chinese fans, Yang Hyun Suk posted an apology in both Korean and Chinese on his Instagram account today. In Chinese, the message says, "I deeply apologize to all the Chinese fans. I've already instructed those in charge to quickly correct and delete the incorrect parts. From today onwards, we will be especially mindful and careful."

Elon Musk circus enters a new arena: federal court
Court will decide if Tesla CEO violated contempt-of-court charges filed against him by SEC
Elon Musk circus enters a new arena: federal court Court will decide if Tesla CEO violated contempt-of-court charges filed against him by SEC Check out this story on detroitnews.com: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/mobility/2019/03/11/elon-musk-enters-new-arena-federal-court/39177411/
Russ Mitchell and Alexa Diaz, Los Angeles Times Published 12:02 a.m. ET March 11, 2019
Elon Musk's contempt toward the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission – as expressed in numerous tweets and in a national TV appearance – is beyond question.
Whether the Tesla CEO violated contempt-of-court charges filed against him by the SEC is for a judge to decide.
On Monday, Musk must file a brief in his defense under orders from Judge Alison Nathan, 46, of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Nathan, who has yet to schedule a hearing, will decide whether Musk defied a previous fraud settlement with the SEC when he tweeted out what seemed to be a huge increase in Tesla's forecast for electric-car production for 2019. And, if so, what she's going to do about it.
Pundits are predicting everything from a slap on the wrist to removing Musk from his CEO position. If the Obama-appointed judge issues an order and Musk later violates that, it could lead to criminal, not civil, contempt, with jail as a possibility.
The judge suddenly finds herself a key character in the soap opera that stars the celebrity billionaire.
Her decision is likely to affect the course of corporate governance at troubled Tesla Inc., and it may send a message to business executives about how much the courts will let them get away with if they violate court-approved orders.
Jail time or job loss are highly unlikely at this time, legal experts said – civil contempt remedies are aimed at compliance, not punishment. But there is little court precedent for what's to come.
"I can't think of another case like this," said Irving Einhorn, retired lawyer and regional administrator of the SEC's Los Angeles office in the 1980s. "Elon Musk is unique, he really is."
Because business executives charged by the SEC tend to follow court orders, there aren't many contempt cases to serve as precedent, said Peter Haveles, attorney and financial law specialist at law firm Pepper Hamilton. "If they thumb their nose at the SEC, they are undercutting their ability to engage in business in the future."
Musk already is barred from serving as Tesla's chairman for three years. The SEC unseated Musk last September after charging him with securities fraud for tweeting that he had secured funding for an $80-billion deal to take Tesla private at a significant premium to the stock price. No such deal had been struck.
Musk settled the charges with the SEC. He did not admit to guilt. Under the terms of the deal, he cannot deny he committed fraud. He agreed to pay a $20-million fine out of his pocket, not from Tesla's treasury. Most pertinent to the recent contempt charges, Musk consented to company "preapproval" of "written communications, including social media posts, that contained or reasonably could contain information material to Tesla or its shareholders."
Nonetheless, on Feb. 19, Musk tweeted that "Tesla made 0 cars in 2011, but will make around 500k in 2019." A few hours later, he tweeted that he "meant to say" that's an annualized rate, and that about 400,000 cars will be delivered this year. A 100,000-car difference translates into billions of dollars in revenue.
The damage, however, was done, in the eyes of the SEC. It filed contempt charges on Feb. 25, saying Musk failed to have the Feb. 19 tweet approved by a company attorney as required.
The proceedings might reveal who Musk's "Twitter sitter" is at Tesla, and his or her dealings with Musk. (Whether it was a coincidence or not, corporate counsel Dane Butswinkas quit the company the next day to return to his law firm after two months at Tesla.)
There's not much of a court record to indicate Judge Nathan's attitude toward civil contempt or its remedies. In a 2017 case involving alleged false advertising of pregnancy test kits, the judge found no contempt but did comment on what's necessary to prove it:
"A party may be held in civil contempt only where the plaintiff establishes the decree was clear and unambiguous, and the proof of non compliance is clear and convincing.
"Although the defendant's conduct need not be willful," she continued, "a plaintiff must also prove that the defendant has not been reasonably diligent and energetic in attempting to comply."
Whether the shade Musk threw on the SEC following his settlement will become part of the court record is yet to be determined. On Oct. 4 he tweeted that "the Shortseller Enrichment Commission is doing incredible work," a reference to stock investors who bet a company's shares are overpriced. In December, interviewed on television's "60 Minutes," he said, "I do not respect the SEC. I do not respect them."
Musk was already drawing criticism from pundits for his temerity, but the dam broke after the contempt filing.
Jim Cramer, the hyperactive host of CNBC's "Mad Money," marveled that the message from the SEC was "don't you ever poke our eye again – and he does it!" In a streaming video interview with The Street, Cramer said: "The SEC at a certain point is going to be so antagonized that they'll call down one of the outside directors and say, 'Listen, you're the head'" of the company.
Lloyd Greif, head of Los Angeles investment bank Greif & Co., said the original SEC settlement was "barely a rap on his knuckles. And it didn't take very long for him to violate his probation. I think the SEC is going to come down on him like a ton of bricks."
The SEC and Tesla declined to comment.
However, there are no hints of brick dropping or other remedies in the SEC's contempt complaint. Such filings often include suggested actions for a judge to consider, but in this case, the SEC punted, leaving any remedies solely up to the judge.
In a recent Wall Street Journal column, "Crazy Elon vs. the SEC, Round Two," Holman Jenkins posited that "The SEC usually likes to show up after a bubble and hand out penalties. It hardly craves to be seen pushing a company's shares off a cliff while millions of investors still have faith in its glorious future."
Experts in securities law point out that, in this case, the judge will be guided by civil, not criminal, contempt procedures. Criminal contempt usually ends in punishment. "The point of civil contempt is to ensure compliance and to deter disregarding the order," said attorney Haveles.
Musk's culpability on the charge seems pretty clear to Haveles: "The SEC will say, however trivial (the tweet), he didn't follow the order and didn't respect the court. I think the judge will agree and find him in contempt. That's the easy part."
Harvey Pitt, SEC chairman in the George W. Bush administration, said the judge will decide what incentives can be applied so Musk will obey his promises to the court. "In one way or another, remedies will need to focus on repressing his irrepressibility," he said.
"There needs to be enough of a disincentive that Musk won't do it again," Haveles said. "I think there will be a fine and a stern warning," and the judge will say, "I don't want to have this back in my courtroom again, because next time I will be much harsher."
A non-billionaire might wonder why a multimillion-dollar fine would have much effect on Musk, whose company stock is currently worth about $48 billion. To pay another fine, Musk could sell stock, or dig into his cash account. However, Musk selling stock could send Tesla's price down, perhaps to levels that would affect his net worth.
A financial filing in April 2018 revealed that nearly 40 percent of Musk's stock is pledged as collateral for hundreds of millions of dollars in personal loans from Morgan Stanley and other banks. Musk uses the money to pay for his Bel-Air mansions, his private plane and other extravagances. If the stock drops low enough – some analysts calculate the low $200s, though there's no way to be sure – Musk would have to pay off loans or pledge new shares.
But the judge could go beyond a fine if she wanted to. She could even order him off Twitter – a devastating sentence for a mogul who has used social media to build a cult following.

The Chibson J-200 Standard's fingerboard comprises high-grade rosewood, which is personally inspected and qualified by Cibson's team of skilled experts before it enters the Chibson factories. This durable wood's resilience makes the fingerboard extremely balanced and stable; it gives each chord and note exceptional clarity and bite. What's more, the J-200 Standard's graduated crown inlays are made of genuine mother-of-pearl and inserted into the fingerboard using a special process that eliminates gaps and doesn't require fillers. The fingerboard also sports a rolled edge, instead of the usual right angle, and is slightly beveled for an extremely smooth and comfortable feel, enhancing the J-200 Standard's playability.
I bought my Gibson Acoustic J200 Standard - Vintage Sunburst from guitar of china . It arrived last week after a 5 working-day (2-week) shipping period.
1. Back and sides - laminated.
2. Physical dimensions - upper bout 320mm; lower bout 430mm; body height 525mm; body depth 105mm-120mm.
3. The eSonic2 system uses a pair of lithium CR2032 3V "button" batteries.
4. The supplied strings are very playable, with great action.
This Gibson Acoustic J200 Standard - Vintage Sunburst is a beautiful guitar that is very comfortable to play. From the moustache bridge, the pick guard, inlaid crown fret markers and binding it has a lot of detail for a guitar of this price range. Acoustically the Jumbo body brings out a deep and rich sound. Both pickups can be balanced with each other or be used separately. Gibson Acoustic J200 Standard - Vintage Sunburst is worth the price and I am very happy I got it. I got the Vintage Sunburst and it is great!!!!!
Gibson Acoustic J200 Standard - Vintage Sunburst guitar. It is almost a great guitar. It is well worth owning, but there are a couple issues to address. I purchased the guitar . The guitar is alittle over priced. It was made in guitar of china, because they seem to have better quality control.
That said, the Gibson Acoustic J200 Standard - Vintage Sunburst is an excellent guitar. It delivers a lot of bang for the buck. I've bought the Gibson Acoustic J200 Standard - Vintage SunburstGuitar, Natural and sent.
It is gorgeous. It is quite a bit lighter to carry around. The pictures don't do this guitar justice and neither does You Tube as far as the sound of it goes. One commenter who does not own the guitar on You Tube made the comment that with the two pick guards it muffles some of the resonance of the guitar. I don't agree with that statement at all. Haven't had a chance to plug this guitar in yet. I am editing this review to say that you must hear this guitar "live." Listening on YouTube does not do it justice. I just love it to death.
