YouTube APIs let you incorporate YouTube functionality into your application or device. This page shows the icons and logos that you are allowed to use for adding YouTube-logoed branding or attribution to your application, device, or marketing materials. It also explains rules and requirements for using YouTube logos.
You do not need special approval to use YouTube APIs or to promote API functionality in your application. However, any YouTube logo used within an application must link back to YouTube content or to a YouTube component of that application. As examples, a logo could link to an area of the app that shows YouTube content (subscriptions, uploads, etc.), an area of the app that lets users upload videos to YouTube, or a page on the YouTube website, such as the YouTube home page or a channel page.
These Branding Guidelines are an integral part of the YouTube APIs Terms of Service and the YouTube APIs documentation and specifications, all of which must be followed in the development and implementation of any YouTube API Clients. If you use YouTube trademarks or logos in violation of these guidelines, we may request that you modify your app or usage or that you cease to use the logos.
Important: You must never use the YouTube name or any abbreviation, acronym, or variant of the word YouTube, such as YT or You-Tube in conjunction with the overall name of your application.
Similarly, you must never use YouTube branding images in conjunction with the overall name or description of your application, product, or service. You also cannot change YouTube branding images or remove, obstruct, distort, or alter any element of a YouTube trademark.
The developed with YouTube logos indicate that your application is entirely dependent on curating YouTube content or on its integration with YouTube. You should use a developed with YouTube logo if removing YouTube functionality from your application would render the application nonfunctional or not useful.
For example, an app that shows video locations on a map and provides driving directions to those locations might use the Google Maps and YouTube APIs. However, that app should still use the developed with YouTube logo since without YouTube content, the app would no longer be useful.
A game lets users capture part of their gameplay and then upload that as a YouTube video. Even if the ability to upload gameplay videos were removed, the game, which is the core application, would still remain.
A travel-planning application presents airfares and hotel prices for different destinations and then lets users see restaurant reviews, tourist destinations, photos, and YouTube videos for a selected destination. Even if the YouTube videos were removed from the app, the app would still be useful based on its other features.
The black-and-white versions of the YouTube logo should be used when the logo displays as a watermark image.
Your application integrates content from multiple sources, including YouTube.
Space constraints make it infeasible to use either a YouTube logo or a developed with YouTube logo.
You can download the YouTube logos and YouTube Icons from the YouTube brand site. That page also provides downloads for versions of the YouTube Icon that could be used in a panel of links to social media sites. Links to download the developed with YouTube logos are provided below.
Before downloading and using any of these images, also read the Using the YouTube logo guidelines and Color specifications on the YouTube brand site.
You should feature the appropriate branding logo on any page where the YouTube API has a presence. The logo should appear next to the location where the API implementation appears on the page. Any logo used within an application must be clickable and needs to link back to YouTube content or to a YouTube component of that application.
Any YouTube logo or YouTube Icon that you display must meet the minimum size requirements provided on the YouTube brand site.
Important: Do not display any YouTube branding image as the most prominent element on your page.
You must never use the YouTube name or any abbreviation, acronym, or variant of the word YouTube, such as YT or You-Tube in conjunction with the overall name of your application. For example, you cannot call your application "YouTube for Kids" or "YouTube Education." However, you may reference the fact that your app is for YouTube or works with YouTube by stating that it is a "great app for YouTube" or using other similar language.
You may only use the logos shown above. Use of these logos is governed by the YouTube API Terms of Service.
Never display a YouTube trademark on a site or app that violates the YouTube Terms of Service.
You cannot modify the colors of the YouTube logos or YouTube Icons and should present those images on a single, solid background color that complements the overall creative or surrounding.
You can change the color of the developed with YouTube logo as long as the logo content is in one single color. You can also choose the background on which the logo appears.
Do not use a logo in ways that (1) imply an association with or endorsement of any other product, service, event, sponsorship, or organization; (2) can be reasonably interpreted to suggest that editorial content was authored by YouTube; or (3) suggest that you are representing the views or opinions of YouTube or YouTube personnel. All of the aforementioned usages must be approved via written permission.
Do not adopt marks, logos, slogans, or designs that are confusingly similar to the YouTube trademarks or that imitate YouTube's trade dress, including the look and feel of YouTube web design properties, YouTube brand packaging, distinctive color combinations, typography, graphic designs, product icons, or imagery associated with YouTube.
Do not register the YouTube trademarks as second-level domain names or incorporate YouTube trademarks into your own names for products, services, features, or companies. Similarly, do not incorporate YouTube trademarks into your own trademarks or logos.
Never display a YouTube trademark in a manner that is misleading, unfair, defamatory, infringing, libelous, disparaging, obscene, or otherwise objectionable to YouTube.
Never display a YouTube trademark on any web site or user interface that contains or displays adult content, promotes gambling, promotes violence, contains hate speech, involves the sale of tobacco or alcohol to persons under twenty-one years of age, violates other applicable laws or regulations, or is otherwise objectionable.
Any YouTube logo used within an application must link back to YouTube content or to a YouTube component of that application.

Home NEWS WHO puts global networks on alert over rare illness in children
WHO puts global networks on alert over rare illness in children
Global health experts are looking into reports of a rare but serious syndrome affecting children.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said it had asked its global networks of clinicians to be on "alert" for the rare phenomenon, which was first noticed by medics in the UK.
Fewer than 20 children in England have been admitted to hospital with the syndrome, which causes a toxic shock-style inflammatory reaction.
The illness may be caused by the novel coronavirus but experts are not sure because some of the affected children have not tested positive for Covid-19.
There are some recent rare descriptions of children in some European countries that have had this inflammatory syndrome, which is similar to the Kawasaki syndrome
It follows an alert shared with NHS trusts and GP groups by NHS England asking medics to remain on high alert for signs of the disease.
The condition is said to be similar to Kawasaki disease, which mainly affects children under the age of five, with symptoms including a high temperature for five days or more, rashes and swollen glands in the neck.
Dr Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO technical lead for Covid-19, said: "We are aware of this report, which came out of the United Kingdom, about a small number of cases amongst children with this inflammatory response.
"We're looking at this with our clinical network.
"There are some recent rare descriptions of children in some European countries that have had this inflammatory syndrome, which is similar to the Kawasaki syndrome.
"What we've asked for is for the global network of clinicians to be on alert for this, and to ensure that they capture information on children systematically so that we could better understand what is occurring in children, and so that we could better improve our understanding and guide treatment.
"But it seems to be very rare and only in maybe one or two countries so far and additional countries that have not recorded this yet, but this is something that the clinical network is looking into specifically."
WHO officials stressed that the vast majority of children who get Covid-19 will have a mild infection and "recover completely".
It's really important that paediatricians and clinicians get time to collect information and share that
Dr Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO health emergencies programme, told a press briefing in Geneva: "The Sars-Cov-2 virus causing Covid-19 obviously is causing inflammation and attacks tissue, other than lung tissue.
"We are in a situation where clinicians are looking at what those other effects of having this coronavirus infection are.
"And we've seen this in the past with many emerging diseases, they don't necessarily only attack one type of tissue, there can be multiple organs affected and many of you have seen the reports of other organs that have been affected with this disease.
"So it's really important that this information is shared around the world.
"It's really important that paediatricians and clinicians get time to collect information and share that.
"But again, just to reassure parents out there – this is a rare complication.
"And one should always be watchful of the children who are experiencing infectious disease or any deterioration of the condition, but I think it's important that parents out there are reassured."

Q: Count multilinestring elements crossing a raster cell in R I have a shapefile with several MULTILINESTRING geometries, representing the borders of some species' distributions, and I want to count the number the number of species occurring in each cell.
I used the rasterize function from the terra package:
count.sp <- terra::rasterize(sp.lines, rast.w, fun = "count")

As an example, the lines in the figure below represent the borders of the distribution of a given species "X":

In the example, species' distribution was subdivided into several disjoint parts crossing the same raster pixel. With the code above, I got as a result the number of parts in each pixel (8 and 5, respectively), whereas I would like to get all the parts belonging to the same species and crossing the same pixel be counted as a single occurrence (i.e., I would like to get 1 in both pixels in the example below).
I also tried the function "sum" (with no field, and I obtained 208 and 130, I don't understand what these values represent)
You can find some example data here (1 shapefile with just 2 species and the raster)
What I am missing?

A: Following @JeffreyEvans suggestion, I achieved it using an "extract" approach:
First, I assigned an unique ID to each raster pixel:
values(rast.w) <- 1:ncell(rast.w)

Then, I used the extract function from the package terra to get the ID of the cells crossed by each species:
sp <- terra::extract(rast.w, sp.lines)

Then, I converted the resulting list into a dataframe with the ID of each cell (first column) and the number of species occurring in each of them (second column, aggregated counting)
count <- as.data.frame(table(unlist(sp)))

Finally, I created a new raster from the first one, replacing ID values with the counting result:
newraster <- rast.w
newraster <- subs(rast.w, count, by = "test")

Philippines president back from 6-day foreign trip
MANILA — President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo arrived this afternoon from a successful six-day, three-country official and working visits to the Vatican City, Portugal and China to bolster the religious, cultural, diplomatic and economic relations between the Philippines and her host countries.
The President-chartered Philippine Airlines (PAL) Flight PR-001 touched down at the Villamor Air Base in Pasay City at 2:30 p.m. After deplaning, she was escorted by Philippine Army commanding Gen. Romeo Tolentino during a pass-in-review of the troops.
After trooping the line, she was welcomed at the entrance of the Kalayaan Lounge of the 250th Presidential Airlift Wing of Villamor Air Base by Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita, Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez, Manila International Airport Authority (NAIA) General Manager Alfonso Cusi and other government officials and well-wishers.
After the brief airport reception, the President boarded the presidential car for Malaca?ang.
In Rome, the President had a private audience with Pope Benedict XVI at the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City, where she also attended the canonization rites of Blessed Marie Eugene de Jesus Milleret, Karel Van Sint Andres Houben Szymon z Lipnicy and Georgio Preca.
In Lisbon, Portugal, she paid homage to Our Lady of Fatima and met with Portuguese President Anibal Cavaco Silva and Prime Minister Jaime Gama on strengthening the historic ties between the Philippines and Portugal.
On her way back to Manila from Portugal, the President passed by Chengdu City in Sichuan and Chonqing, both in China. (OPS) (davaotoday.com)

The greatest run of all time was not Michael Johnson's 200 metres in Atlanta, or even Haile Gebrselassie's 10,000 m in 1998, but Wang Junxia's 10,000 m in 1993, according to a British statistician.
The Chinese woman's startling run smashed the previous world best but attracted considerable controversy because of allegations regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Nonetheless, a new statistical analysis by Dr Howard Grubb, from Reading University, rates her run as the best world record on the books.
Dr Grubb compiled the 200 all-time bests in each track event from the 100 m up to marathons. He then compared the speeds of the athletes at each distance and saw a smooth trend for both men and women.
He identified the very best performances by spotting which world records stuck out above the general trend.
According to Dr Grubb's analysis, the women's 5,000 m record should be the most vulnerable to attack, rating just 98.9%, whilst the men's event lying furthest below average is the 100m.
Maurice Green, the world's fastest man at 9.79 seconds over 100 m, should be aiming for 9.71s to reach Dr Grubb's predicted world record.
The greatest run of all-time by a British athlete was Sebastian Coe's 800 m in June 1981, a world record at the time, followed by Steve Jones's marathon run in October 1985. The 400 m is the most likely to improve.
For British women, Paula Radcliffe's world championship 10,000 m this year is the most excellent.
However, Dr Grubb acknowledges that some will disagree with his approach: "The particular conditions of a race, if the weather was hot or cold, if a pacemaker was used, could have an effect," he said. His analysis was given to the British Association's Festival of Science in Sheffield, UK.

Q: flutter: FadeInImage.assetNetwork: how to add request header like access token I'm using FadeInImage.assetNetwork display images with a place holder, which works fine for public images. However, I need to use access headers while getting some images. How to achieve that as FadeInImage takes string as the ImageProvider param. Is there any similar widget available to add request parameter?

A: You can directly use FadeInImage and pass a NetworkImage as an ImageProvider(and its headers).
FadeInImage(
    placeholder: AssetImage("images/placeholder.jpg"),
    image: NetworkImage(
        "https://flutter.io/images/catalog-widget-placeholder.png",
        headers: {"header": "value"}),

The About section explains my focus with the blog; primarily to show you how and why we eat real whole foods. Included in here is our journey to real foods from the standard American diet, about the Maker's diet, and then to keep it real, Confessions is what I label the refined non-whole foods that somehow find themselves in our kitchen from time to time.
On The Menu has my food posts sorted into Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks, Soups, and Menu Plans. I'm still going back through and re-labeling older posts to fit in these, but I've got some of my favorites up there now.
Traditional Foods is everything non-refined, wholesome, and Nourishing Traditions inspired. Down below there are some links to easy things to start with like Real Salt, Soaked Wheat Bread, and Coconut Oil.
Grain Free has my adventures in GAPS, along with some related subsections and recipes.
Natural Health is where all the alternative medicines, bath and body, holistic dentistry, and supplement posts live.
Stewardship addresses the issue of fitting real food into a real budget and doing the best with the resources available to us. In that subsection are 'Do It Yourself and Save' posts; things that we found are especially useful and simple to do yourself.
Pregnancy and Babies is everything baby/child/mother related, including breastfeeding, diapers, and natural remedies for common childhood issues.
I added a poll to the right side of the site too, so you can give me opinions on what you'd like to see more of. You can select as many or few as you'd like.
I also wanted to link to Reflecting the Designer's main web design page, and point out that she has free blogger themes if you want to re-do your site design yourself, as well as a blogger scrapbook to show how to do site modifications too, if you're more tech savvy than I am. I know that for me it was very much worth it to have her do my site design, I tried doing things myself and kept making things more of a mess. She was friendly and quick and put up with my 157 emails about various things, and the whole thing only took her a couple days! She does Wordpress blogs too, but I just kept mine on Blogger.

Kiri is back on tour at venues throughout the UK in Spring 2020!
Previous shows have seen her tackle structural racism, sexism, child grooming, adoption and emotional abuse so what seemingly unfunny subject has she picked to turn into laughs this year? Chernobyl? The shrinking size of creme eggs? No, empathy. Which sounds fine actually but maybe not the way Kiri tackles it.

Gein's are moonlighting as part of Tarot at the moment, so come and see their Soho Theatre run in January.

I know, I know, I wish I could do a podcast about something charmingly twee like antiques or hilarious like dogs dressed as celebrities. Alas the only thing I know enough to talk at length about is serial killers. Luckily for me one of my comedian buddies, Rachel Fairburn, is also interested in these horrible shits so I don't have to talk about them on my own.
It's really good, honest. If you don't believe me, give it a listen.
"hugely likeable and energetic"
"an increasingly impressive comic, making powerhouse standup from the thorniest of subjects"
"Passionate, smart and yes, bloody funny"
"Best described as 'darkness wrapped in glitter' as she delivers some brutal jokes with a disarming smile"

About Argentina
Argentina is approximately a third of the size of the United States with a population of 44 million. Argentina's education and healthcare system is credited with being one of the best in Latin America, but it struggles with a high maternal mortality rate despite 98 percent of births occuring in a hospital. Argentina experiences approximately 44 deaths per 100,000 births.
It's believed that many of these deaths occur because of illegal abortions. The government's ban on abortion is held up stringently except in certain cases of rape or if the woman's life or health is threatened. Post-partum hemorrhaging (PPH) and sepsis, two of the most common causes of maternal mortality in Argentina, are often related to the secret abortions. The government has tried to address this high maternal mortality rate with policy changes that increase reproductive health services, but enforcement of these policies has been limited and in some cases policy changes that would have increased women's ability to access health services have been retracted.

This hall display was made to represent the diverse nature of the school population.
The background was divided up with masking tape and painted with fabric paint. The hands were made by children drawing round their own hands, cutting them out of felt, and sticking them on. It was made with the help of one of our school's learning mentors, Julie Lawrence. It's meant to symbolise the circle of friendship in our school.
I think it looks very effective with the light coming through and it carries an important message. Many of the children who worked on this were troubled in some way and the learning mentors used the making of the display as part of an informal friendship building programme.
Loved the good news tree, which grows bigger throughout the session – different types of good news – little people who might have managed to sleep in their own bed the whole night, maybe they've got a new brother or sister. Huge opportunities for self expression, talking and listening, psd etc etc….
Liz Mercer the Head of the establishment her Depute and staff are inspiring and have a very welcoming ethos and love to share their ideas.
I just love this display! It could be adapted to be used in any school. Wouldn't it be great to have a huge one in a school entrance or hall?

Our Season for fishing Coho Salmon is late May through late September. Full day fishing charters leave the our Manistee Dock at about 5:am or earlier eastern time. We return to the dock between 1:00 or 2:00 pm. Half day coho charters are from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm and 1:30 pm to 6:30 pm or so.
Hot Ticket Charter fishing starts out in the cold waters of April, fishing closer to shore and with "short lines" as the fish are generally near the surface as the water temperature begins to warm up. We go out farther as the temperature heats up. Steelhead like the water breaks on the surface where the scum line is. Sometimes the scum line is close, sometimes it is far off shore. Either way, these fish are fighters and require skill to reel them in. They jump out of the water trying to throw the hook out. These are good times for catching Coho's and some Browns as well as the Lake Trout and Steelhead.
Call or email early for your trophy fishing trip aboard the famous Hot Ticket Charterboat. Captain Jeff knows where and how to catch the biggest fish, he has been fishing for years. You can not go wrong when you fish with Captain Jeff on Hot Ticket.


Southwest temporarily grounded flights early Friday due to a computer glitch. The airline has been plagued by flight cancellations this week.
Southwest Airlines suffered a computer outage early Friday that temporarily grounded flights across the country, adding to a string of recent flight woes at the airline..
Southwest had some issues with a computer system that automatically uploads flight plans to the Federal Aviation Administration, FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford said.
The situation was resolved around 6:25 a.m. ET, he said.
Southwest said in a statement that it suspended operations for about 50 minutes early Friday to "ensure performance'' of software systems that were upgraded overnight. The matter didn't cause any flight cancellations, spokeswoman Michelle Agnew said, but early morning flights on the East Coast were delayed by an average of 40 minutes.
Southwest continued to struggle with a high volume of flight delays Friday morning, with more than 650 flights, or 16 percent of scheduled flights delayed as of 11:45 a.m. ET, according to flight tracker FlightAware.
It was not immediately clear whether those delays were lingering effects from the outage or mainly related to weather and Southwest's ongoing operations emergency tied to a higher than usual number of aircraft out of service.
Southwest has canceled more than 1,000 flights in the past week due to the maintenance issues and winter weather across the country, including rare snow at its Las Vegas hub. The airline canceled nearly 400 flights on Thursday alone.
Southwest has blamed its mechanics union for the maintenance delays, and the union says Southwest is making them scapegoats for safety issues.
The good news for travelers: Southwest's Friday cancellations were the lowest they've been in a more than a a week. The airline has canceled 73 Friday flights, according to FlightAware. Agnew attributed those to lingering issues in Las Vegas, weather in Denver and the aircraft out of service.
Travelers on social media continue to gripe to Southwest, which has rich customer loyalty, about this week's flight issues.

Home / News / China issues demolition order on world's largest religious town in Tibet
China issues demolition order on world's largest religious town in Tibet
A view of Larung Gar
Chinese authorities have announced the destruction of thousands of monastic dwellings and expulsion of monks, nuns and lay practitioners at Serthar Larung Gar Buddhist Institute, the famed Tibetan Buddhist religious encampment located in Serthar (Ch: Seda) County in Kardze (Ch: Ganzi) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, in eastern Tibet.
An eight-point document issued by the Chinese authorities spells out the step-by-step guide to demolishing housing facilities of thousands of monks, nuns and lay practitioners and their expulsion, so as to reduce the number of residents to government-set ceiling of 5000. Citing the decisions taken at the Sixth Tibet Work Forum Conference and the Second National Work Conference on Religion, the document stated that the demolition order was aimed at proper regulation and management of Larung Gar Buddhist institute. Mainly prefecture-level departments under the direction of mostly Han Chinese officials would carry out the demolition order.In 2001, Chinese authorities implemented similar crackdown on Larung Gar by destroying thousands of monastic dwellings and expulsion of monastic and lay practitioners, some of whom died of shock or resorted to suicide, while some were rendered mentally unsound. Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok, the charismatic founder of Larung Gar Buddhist Institute later died under mysterious circumstances at a Chinese government hospital in Chengdu.
The recent four-page demolition order requires relevant departments including the management and administrative bodies of Larung Gar to reduce the number of residents to 5000 before 30 September 2017. The order further requires that the number of demolished dwellings be equal to the number of expelled monastic or lay practitioners, and to ensure that both numbers are strictly compared and accounted for. The document then calls for clear separation between monastic and lay practitioners and between the monastery and the institute; and implementation of social management and provision of social services within the Larung Gar community.
Seven-point demolition order
The document lists seven points detailing the implementation of the demolition order which involves all religious sections (ling) and units (tsomchung) including also the management and staff at Larung Gar. Religious sections include not only the monks and nuns sections, but also separate sections for lay practitioners and non-Tibetan practitioners such as Chinese. The sections are further divided into hundreds of units as in monastic and lay units. The first point in the document details instructions on guiding the opinions and ideology of both monastic and lay community. In this regard, the order stipulates that decisions taken at the Sixth Tibet Work Forum and the Second National Work Conference on Religion will be publicised among the monks and nuns, and to discuss further about the reasons these changes are required at the monastery, in what manner these changes must be carried out, and how to implement government laws related to these changes, so that religious activities outside the monastery could be managed and regulated. This will be achieved in three steps:
Larung Gar Standing Committee members, other officials and senior monks and nuns at should be personally contacted and given instruction. All disciplinarians of each monastic section and responsible members of all 18 offices should be assembled and given instruction. Responsible members of all 324 units should be separated into different categories and given instruction. The above work should be completed before15 June 2016.
All sections and units should be given instruction and monks and nuns must be made to sign letters pledging to practice religion in accordance with the law. Monks and nuns must publicise legal education materials, such as videos and banners. In short, there should be an overwhelming focus on the work to promote law. These works should be completed before 31 July 2016.
Legal education campaign should be held every month in the monasteries. This campaign should be completed before 31 October 2016. The legal education campaign will be led by Jangchup (Xiang Qu?), Xiang Luo, Dan Nei Kai, Zhang Ping Sen. Departments responsible for this work are the Prefecture Propaganda Department, Prefecture United Front Work Department, Prefecture Religious Affairs Bureau, Prefecture Law and Justice Bureau, and Serthar County Government.
The second point in the demolition order concerns collecting detailed information and conducting research on the residents of the religious sections such as lay practitioners, monks, nuns, elderly and physically challenged. The information collected will be used to register each dwelling of the residents based on specific location and its population, for convenient and thorough investigation. This work must be completed before 31 July 2016. The work will be carried out by Li Jiang, Zhang Ping Sen and Shui Wen and the offices responsible for carrying out this work are: Prefecture Public Security Bureau, Prefecture Civil Affairs Department, Prefecture National Security Department, and Serthar County Government.

The third point in the demolition order provides instructions on reducing the number of monastic and lay practitioners. In 2016, 2200 residents will be made to leave, out of which 1029 lay practitioners will be separated from the monastery. A total of 1200 monks and nuns will be expelled out of which 600 must be from other provinces. In 2016, the total population should be limited to 5000. If it is not done so by 30 September 2017, more should be expelled. Before 15 June 2016, the names of expelled residents in 2016 must be submitted to higher authorities. And before 30 August 2016, the names of the 5000 persons and others, after proper screening, must be submitted to higher authorities. Before 30 October 2016, the expulsion of 1200 residents must be completed. Before 30 September 2017, the population of Larung Gar should be restricted to 5000. Out of them, there should be no more than 1000 people from other provinces. Responsible officials for this work are Zhang Ping Sen, Dan Nei Kai and Cui Yi Peng and responsible departments are Prefecture United Front Work Department, Prefecture Religious Affairs Bureau, Prefecture Education Department, Prefecture Public Security Bureau, Prefecture Civil Affairs Department and Serthar County Government.
In the fourth point, the demolition order details plans to demolish 1500 monastic residences by 30 October 2016. This number includes the residences of those who have been expelled since 2013 and new dwellings built in their stead illegally; residences of those who had left to live in the old people's homes and of those who went to live in nuns' guesthouses. The officials responsible for this work are Zhang Yong Dong, Ajie Bei Zhui and responsible offices are Prefecture United Front Work Department, Prefecture Nationality and Religious Affairs, Prefecture Public Security Bureau, Prefecture Village Housing Development Bureau, Prefecture Civil Affairs Department, and Serta County Government.
The fifth point states that surveillance cameras will set up before 31 August 2016 to regulate visitors. Responsible officials for this task are Zhang Ping Sen and Shui Wen and responsible offices are Prefecture Public Security Bureau and Serthar County Government.
The sixth point in the demolition order calls for the separation of lay practitioners from the monastics so that the lay practitioners will come under direct control and monitoring of the government authorities. Before 31 July 2016, the houses built between the monastics and lay practitioners, an area of 30 meters, will be demolished. Before 30 September 2016, walls will be constructed between them. The style and designs of lay practitioners' residences will be changed. A government office responsible for lay practitioners will be built. Officials responsible for this work are Zhang Ping Sen and Xi Wu. Responsible offices are Prefecture Village Housing Construction Department, Prefecture National Resources Department, Prefecture Civil Affairs Bureau, and Serthar County Government.

The final point in the demolition order pertains to the separation of the Larung Gar institute from Larung Gar monastery. Of the 5000 persons allowed to remain there, a clear distinction will be made between students at the monastery and at the institute. Their respective names will be recorded and registered separately. Out of the total 5000 residents, 3500 will be monks and nuns and the remaining will be students at the institute. A monastery management committee consisting of government officials and monks will be established to run the affairs of the monastery. Only religious contents shall be taught in monasteries and secular education at the institute. The institute will be administered like any other government schools. These works will be completed before 31 August 2016. And officials are Li Chen Ming, Jangchup (Xiang Qu?), Dan Li Kei, Zhang Ping Sen. The offices responsible are Prefecture United Front Work Department, Prefecture Religious Affairs Bureau, Prefecture Public Security Bureau, Prefecture Village Housing Development Bureau, and Serthar County Government.
The order concludes that the activities related to the demolition at Larung Gar be reported to the Serthar County government and the committee specially appointed for this purpose.
Massive crackdown in 2001
The charismatic and hugely popular Tibetan Buddhist master Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok founded Larung Gar as a non-sectarian Buddhist study centre in 1980. In 1987, the previous 10th Panchen Lama blessed the institute and gave its current name: Serta Larung Gar Ngarig Nangten Lobling. Under Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok, Larung Gar later expanded to a spiritual oasis for over 8,000 monks, nuns and lay students before the 2001 crackdown. More than a monastic institution, Larung Gar resembles religious encampment or gar that traces its origins to 14th century Tibet when mobile communities of both monastic and non-monastic practitioners engaged in studying Buddhism under the guidance of highly realised and charismatic Buddhist masters. Religious encampments are thus different from traditional Tibetan Buddhist monastic institutions because it made no distinctions between monastic and lay practitioners or their respective gender. Religious encampments such as Larung Gar and Yachen Gar have especially attracted thousands of practitioners from all over the world including Chinese Buddhists. Over the years, Larung Gar has become one of the most important centers for the promotion of preservation of Tibetan Buddhism and culture.
More than 20,000 monastic and lay practitioners live permanently at Larung Gar and on special occasions, it accommodates upto 40,000 devotees. The demolition order plans to limit the total number of permanent residents to 5000, thus subjecting the remaining 75 percent to expulsion and destruction of their dwellings. The current crackdown on Larung Gar is not just restricted to limiting the number of residents but a systematic attempt at creating divisions among monastic and lay practitioners and to usurp the power and authority of the lamas and abbots of respective religious sections. This would enable Chinese authorities to establish direct control over Larung Gar's administration, monitor the activities of the residents and impose restrictions particularly on practitioners who come from other Tibetan areas.
Due to its less organized enrolment system as is found in traditional monastic institutions, for quite sometime gars escaped direct government control or repeated intrusions from state political education officials. But that changed in 2001 when Chinese authorities launched a major crackdown in which about 8000 monastic and lay practitioners were expelled including 1500 foreign practitioners from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Korea. More than 500 armed police and military personnel demolished 1874 monastic residences and 2000 meditation huts. In April 2002, TCHRD released a 10-minute video showing the massive destruction at the institute. The video was made from film footage smuggled out from Tibet by ex-residents of the institute. In 2001, Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok was forced to stop teaching at the institute and taken to a military hospital in Barkham County ostensibly for treatment. Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok's personal physician Rigzin was barred from visiting the hospital. On 6 January 2004, Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok died in a hospital in Chengdu City. He was supposed to undergo heart surgery at the same hospital on 29 December 2003.
Demolition order at Yachen Gar
Recent images and videos circulated on social media also show that similar demolition order has been issued on Yachen Gar located in Pelyul (Ch: Baiyu) County, Kardze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Monks and nuns are seen dismantling their dwellings in advance to save their belongings from the government demolition teams. In 2001, Yachen Gar also faced partial destruction along with Larung Gar.

Article 36 of the Chinese Constitution not only provides that citizens enjoy freedom of religious belief but forbids any state organ, public organisation or individual from forcing citizens to believe in, or not to believe in, any religion, or to discriminate against citizens who believe in, or do not believe in, any religion. China's announcement of a second major crackdown on Larung Gar once again renders hollow this constitutional provision.
Tibetan Buddhism with Chinese Characteristics
The basic religious policy of the Chinese Communist Party makes it difficult if not impossible to implement constitutional provisions. In 1993 during the National United Front Work Conference and in 2001 during the National Religious Affairs Conference, the then president Jiang Zemin issued three authoritative directives that sum up the one-party state's approach to religion: 1) implementation of the party's religious policies; 2) strengthen control of religious affairs in accordance with the law; and 3) guide religion to be compatible with socialism. At the Second National Work Conference on Religion held in April 2016, president Xi Jinping reiterated the same approach to religious policy stressing that "religious groups must adhere to the leadership of the CPC, and support the socialist system and socialism with Chinese characteristics."
The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy appeals to the international community including the United Nations, governments, civil society groups and individuals to take initiatives to put pressure on Chinese government to rescind the demolition order and to save the Larung Gar Buddhist Institute from further destruction.
This year in May, on the occasion of Saga Dawa (Vesak Buddhist festival), the secretary general of the United Nations Mr. Ban Ki-moon highlighted the role of Buddhism in resolving pressing issues that confront the humanity including human rights abuses and violent conflicts. "The fundamental equality of all people, the imperative to seek justice, and the interdependence of life and the environment are more than abstract concepts for scholars to debate; they are living guidelines for Buddhists and others navigating the path to a better future," he said.

Sheep have a reputation, and from what I understand, it's well-deserved: they aren't the brightest of creatures. They think with their stomachs. They get lost and frightened, easily. They do whatever the other sheep are doing, even if it means walking into a slaughterhouse where everything smells of death.
So the next time you sing something like, "Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us," think about what that means. Are we really willing to accept that biblical image of who we are?
Because if we aren't, it will be harder to be grateful for the Shepherd.
In one of the great "I Am" sayings of the gospel of John, Jesus declares, "I am the good shepherd" (John 10:11, 14). The shepherd knows his sheep; they know him and listen to his voice (John 10:14, 16).
Many of Jesus' hearers would have associated the imagery of a shepherd with God. Even we know the Shepherd Psalm: "The Lord is my shepherd" (Ps 23:1). But the idea that God's people desperately needed someone to lead them can be found elsewhere in the Hebrew scriptures. For example, when Moses was told that he would not enter the Promised Land because of his disobedience, his concern was for the people. He asked God to appoint a new leader, lest the people "be like sheep without their shepherd" (Num 27:17; see also 1 Kings 22:17; 2 Chron 18:16; Isa 13:14).
And centuries later, Mark the evangelist would write this: "When Jesus arrived and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then he began to teach them many things" (Mark 6:34). That's despite the fact that Jesus and the disciples had been so busy ministering to people that they didn't even have time to grab something to eat. The plan had been to get away from the crowd in a boat and take a break — but the crowd had other ideas. The boat landed; a crowd had already gathered in anticipation. And with loving compassion, Jesus went right back to work.
This is the kind of sacrificial service that prefigures the ultimate sacrifice: the shepherd would soon die to save the sheep (John 10:11).
It's not necessary to make something different out of the three statements; the gist of all three is that Peter is being called to follow in the footsteps of the shepherd (cf. John 21:19b), and so to demonstrate his love. Hadn't Peter insisted he would follow Jesus anywhere, even to death? He was about to be given the chance.
Using figures of speech, Jesus prophesies Peter's fate. The language — "You will stretch out your hands" (John 21:18) — implies crucifixion. Tradition does indeed have it that Peter was martyred on a cross during the reign of Nero. But he was crucified upside-down, at Peter's request, because he didn't want to be thought of as worthy to die in exactly the same way as his Master.
Does Christian tradition have it right? Who knows. But that's not the part that matters. John tells us that the purpose of Jesus' cryptic prophecy was "to show the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God" (John 21:19). In John's gospel, Jesus' crucifixion is repeatedly linked to his and the Father's glorification.
What matters, in other words, is not how Peter died, but to what end: the glory of God.
That's always what matters, though we often forget.

Pope Francis has sent a message of solidarity to refugees, which forcefully exhorted the international community to react in the face of the dramatic situation in the Middle East.
The Holy Father sent the letter to the Patriarchal Vicar for Jordan, Archbishop Maroun Lahham, who traveled to Jordan to mark the first anniversary of the arrival of Iraqi refugees in Jordan, on Aug. 8, 2014. Archbishop Lahham will participate in various events and meetings and will visit some shelters for refugees.
The Holy Father's message began by noting his use of the occasion of the visit to reach "with a word of hope" those oppressed by violence and forced to abandon their homes and their land.
The Pope reaffirmed his desire to speak out against "the atrocious, inhumane and inexplicable persecution" of those who are "victims of fanaticism and intolerance," even as this treatment is often overlooked and silenced.
"They are the martyrs of today, humiliated and discriminated against for their fidelity to the Gospel," he said. He went on to remind them how the Church doesn't forget nor abandon her children exiled on account of their faith. Francis thanked the refugees for their witness.
To those who have been helping the hundreds of thousands forced to flee, the Pope said, "You proclaim the resurrection of Christ," and noted their help has illuminated moments of dark existence. "May the Lord reward you, as only He can do, with the abundance of His gifts," Francis wrote.
"I renew my hope that the International Community will not remain silent and inert in face of such unacceptable crimes, which constitute a worrying disregard of the most essential human rights and impedes the richness of coexistence among peoples, cultures and faiths," he said.
Pope Francis concluded by asking for their prayers, offering his Apostolic Blessing, and entrusting them to Mary's protection.
