Members of the Iowa Corn Leadership Enhancement and Development (I-LEAD) program Class 8 traveled to Japan and Vietnam on an international trade mission in March to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the global food system and to develop a deeper admiration for the views of U.S. agriculture's international customers. The mission served as the capstone event as Class 8 wraps up their two-year program. Iowa Corn is now accepting applications for I-LEAD Class 9 at www.iowacorn.org/ilead. Iowa Corn developed the I-LEAD program in recognition that the future of Iowa agriculture depends on developing leaders who have a passion for agriculture.
Following the Ethanol Summit of the Asia-Pacific in Minneapolis this week the U.S. Grains Council will hold post Summit tours for participants to be able to see the full production and value of U.S. ethanol. One such team will be arriving in Iowa this week to see U.S. corn and distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) production and supply. The delegation will consist of high-level government and industry representatives from Korea, Taiwan, China, and Singapore. They will visit corn farms, ethanol plants, feed mills, fuel retailers, elevators and co-ops.
As the 2018 Iowa legislative session comes to a close this week, the Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) President Mark Recker, a farmer from Arlington, says notable progress occurred on many legislative issues positively impacting agriculture.
Iowa Corn announced today the 16 student recipients of the Iowa Corn Future of Agriculture Scholarship program for the 2018-2019 school year. Iowa Corn awarded sixteen (16) $1,000 one-year scholarships to deserving, qualified students enrolled at an accredited U.S. 2-year or 4-year college or university, or graduate school, in a program of study to equip them to contribute to Iowa's agriculture industry. The program is sponsored by the Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) and the Iowa Corn Promotion Board (ICPB).

Rugby: Chase star Shaun Wallace struggles with Herald's All Blacks quiz - can you do better?
15 Nov, 2019 06:30 AM 4 minutes to read
Shaun Wallace may be a star of The Chase and one of the world's top quizzers, but he's far from an All Blacks guru.
The "Dark Destroyer" arrived in New Zealand yesterday and spent the day in Whangarei with a scheduled show in the city last night, before visiting Eden Park this morning.
While at the All Blacks' home stadium, he was put to the test by New Zealand Herald Focus' Will Trafford – and it's safe to say things didn't quite go to plan.
Take the quiz yourself - and then see how the Chaser fared.
"They're not so much multi-choice but I have a funny feeling you'll probably get most of them," Trafford said as Wallace - proudly dressed in an All Blacks jersey - keenly awaited his first question.
"What was the score in the historic 1978 win of Munster over the All Blacks?" Trafford began.
After a long and thoughtful pause Wallace replied: "12-6?"
"12-0," corrected Trafford. "How many World Cup matches did Richie McCaw lose as All Blacks captain?"
"Let's see now," Wallace said before (another) long pause.
"It's a low number," Trafford prompted.

"Yeah, I'm trying to work out whether or not he captained in 2007, that's what I'm trying to work out. Because if he was captain in 2007 ... It's either one or zero," Wallace debated.
"We'll give you that one, it's one," Trafford replied.

Wallace failed to correctly answer the questions that followed, including 'who played centre for the All Blacks at the 1999 Rugby World Cup?' and 'who kicked the goals for the All Blacks in the 2011 Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Argentina?'.
The questions and his answers can be found below, but it's safe to say the self-proclaimed avid All Blacks fan could use some brushing up on his New Zealand rugby knowledge.
Wallace, from the UK, also revealed how he caused a stir in his home country when he donned an All Blacks jersey during the fateful match between England and New Zealand during the Rugby World Cup.
"I did a good luck video which I sent to New Zealand and I think I probably jinxed it. So Kieran [Read], I'm really sorry mate," Wallace said.
"I really wanted them to win on this occasion because they would have made history by winning it three times in a row, unfortunately, they lost to a wonderful England team so I was disappointed.
"I've always supported the All Blacks, they're my favourite rugby team, although I'm a passionate lover of my country, there's no getting round the fact that the All Blacks are the greatest rugby team ever."

Wallace is also a lawyer and part-time lecturer, but is undoubtedly more renowned for his trivia chops, as one of the chasers on the famous UK quiz show.
His primary engagement in New Zealand is to host the 20th annual New Zealand Pub Quiz Championships, organised by the quiz company Believe It Or Not.
Shaun Wallace takes our All Blacks quiz
Question 1: What was the score in Munster's historic win over the All Blacks in 1978?
Shaun Wallace: I would say 12-6.
Answer: 12-0
Question 2: How many World Cup matches did Richie McCaw lose as All Blacks captain?
Shaun Wallace: It's a low number. I'm trying to work out whether or not he captained in 2007, that's what I'm trying to work out. Because if he was captain in 2007 ... It's either one or zero.
Answer: One
Question 3: Who was the All Blacks coach before Graham Henry?
Shaun Wallace: That would have been ... 2007, uh what was his name, is it Brian somebody?
Answer: John Mitchell
Question 4: Who played centre for the All Blacks at the 1999 Rugby World Cup?
Shaun Wallace: Centre, centre, centre .... who was the bloody centre. No [I don't know].
Answer: Christian Cullen
Question 5: Which All Black scored the most tries in a single World Cup game?
Shaun Wallace: Well I'm thinking it was the 44-29 defeat in the semifinal of England against New Zealand in 1995 ... I'm going to have to say Jonah Lomu.
Answer: Mark Ellis
Question 6: Who kicked the goals for the All Blacks in the 2011 World Cup quarter-final against Argentina?
Shaun Wallace: Okay, right, now Dan Carter will have been playing and he was injured. Was it [Aaron] Cruden?
Answer: Piri Weepu

Fifth Harmony #727TourManchester
I'm preeeetty obsessed with Fifth Harmony...okay, even that is an understatement. I literally know them better than I know myself and, after years of following their lives online, saving their photos to my camera roll and watching their performances on repeat, I finally got the chance to see them in the flesh.
I attended one of the shows from their '7/27 World Tour' in Manchester and I think I have fallen in love with all five of them all over again. Does anybody else feel like that after a concert? I always feel as though I just love the artist/band EVEN MORE than I did beforehand, even though I loved them a heck of a lot anyway. I am also physically unable to listen to their latest album, '7/27' in the same way after hearing the girls sing it's songs live.
Before we get onto the greatness that is Fifth Harmony's performance itself, let us discuss the support acts. The girls were supported by Aleem, who everyone seemed to love as he put on a great show, and Camryn, whose name you may recognise as she supported One Direction on tour in 2013 when she was something ridiculous like thirteen years old. I saw Camryn live at the 'Take Me Home Tour' (ah the good old days) all those years ago and so it was a pleasure to see her again in Manchester. Her set was beyond support act standard and I'm not kidding when I say her songs are VERY CATCHY. She's also seventeen and is touring the world with the biggest stars and I'm seventeen too and cry in the face of any form of responsibility because I do not have my life together whatsoever, but anyway, moving on.
I should also probably point out that I spent enough money to feed a family of four for three weeks on merchandise, but hey, it isn't every day that you go to a concert, right? Well, at least that's what I tell myself every time I go to a concert and buy MORE t-shirts, programmes, posters, hoodies and glowsticks. The 5H merch is pretty awesome though, as you would expect with such a fierce and flawless group of girls. I couldn't help but pick up a hoodie, t-shirt and poster, all of which I now live in. Well, not the poster, as that would mean I was living with Fifth Harmony and that excites me too much to imagine.
The girls came on stage around 9pm but, before they made their big entrance, a video was played to get the audience hyped, not that we needed anymore hyping. The show had a flight theme and so the whole idea of the video was to make us kind of feel as though we were getting on an aeroplane and starting a journey. Throughout the concert, various aeroplane videos were played as well as one at the end to tell us that we were 'landing' when the show ended. The introductory video also included some of the girls' X Factor USA performances from WAAAAY back when, such as their first performance together of 'Impossible.' It has the potential to be one of the most emotional things I have ever witnessed, I won't lie. It was just incredible to be there watching fetus 5H singing for Simon Cowell at Judges Houses on a big screen, knowing that they were about to walk out and perform to an arena. Just thinking back to that moment gives me chills.
Speaking of chills, when the girls stormed onto the stage like the Queens that they are, I lost every ounce of chill that I have ever had. My hands were extremely shaky and I am certain that I had lost my voice within the first five seconds of seeing them. They opened with their latest smash hit 'That's My Girl' which, in my opinion, was the best song to open with. It's strong, empowering and it let's every know that it's going to be a bloody good night.
The girls then proceeded to perform song after song but didn't just treat us with tracks from their latest record, they also threw in some olden but golden tunes in there, such as 'Miss Movin' On' and tracks from their debut album 'Reflection,' like 'BO$$,' 'Reflection,' Sledgehammer,' We Know,' This Is How We Roll' and a faultless acoustic version of 'Brave, Honest Beautiful,' which somehow gave the song an even more personal, inspiring meaning. The ladies also surprised the crowd by performing 'Voicemail,' an unreleased track which just, somehow, got leaked online one day.
Of course, the songs from their latest record were the biggest part of the night. They performed every track from '7/27,' excluding 'The Life,' as well as 'Big Bad Wolf,' a song exclusive to the Japanese version of the album. In my opinion. Fifth Harmony's set list was the BEST set list for a concert I have ever experienced. Not only did they sing almost all of the songs from the album they are touring, but they also song a good number of old tracks and exclusives. We've all been to concerts and walked away wishing the band/artist had performed a certain track which is our favourite, however, I didn't feel like that after this concert. The girls went out of their way to ensure they gave /fans the full experience and to literally make it the '7/27 Tour.' They also did a fantastic job of performing each song.
The girls had an outfit change about halfway through the show, switching from flight attendant inspired costumes into plain black ones. I'm sure we've all crushed on the girls at multiple times in our lives. You've probably seen photos of them from an even or a shoot and though "OH. MY. GOSH." But I can confirm that they do, in fact, look even more stunning in real life.
Another thing that simply must be spoken about is the energy the girls have on stage and how much they literally put their ALL into every inch of their show. They have become famous for their choreography and they certainly do not do it half-heartedly. Every arm movement, hip wiggle, booty shake and hair flip was filled with so much sass and power. Those girls were beyond fierce up on that stage and it was so incredible to see - it definitely empowered the crowd. Their vocals were amazing too, even with all their hardcore dance routines. I understand that some artists can get bored on tour, I get that. Singing that same songs over and over again, multiple times a day, doing the same routines and giving the same speeches can become repetitive and, towards the end of the tour, artists can appear to look fed up on stage because they've just had enough and want to switch things up. Fifth Harmony, however, certainly did not look fed up. It was clear to see that they were genuinely so happy to be on stage and were just completely in love with what they were doing. Don't you think it's great to see musicians still get excited about their performances? It made the whole concert so much more enjoyable for the audience and, personally, I always love seeing other people feeling passionate about what they do. All they cared about was giving the audience a good time, they didn't want people to go home from the show thinking they hadn't put any effort in, however, they also had a good time themselves whilst doing this.
Additionally, speaking of how happy the girls felt on stage, they expressed their gratitude to their fans at multiple times in between songs. A lot of artists give speeches on stage about how thankful they are to be where they are and how much they love their fans, and 5H's speeches were so moving and so sincere. Normani and Ally in particular spoke beautifully about how much they appreciated the opportunities they have been given and how much they adore their fans for accepting, loving and supporting them through thick and thin. Normani, specifically, has previously been victim of horrendous racial abuse and has had to read comments that nobody should be on the receiving end of, however, on that stage, she stood tall and spoke in such a captivating way about how blessed she felt to be in such a fortunate position and how she is so thankful to her Harmonizers for having her back. It gave me goosebumps to see her rise above such a disgusting amount of negativity and to see her totally OWN IT on stage, not letting anyone bring her down.
To bring this blog post to a close, I had a beyond insane time at the '7/27 Tour.' We had a brilliant view from our seats, however, I would've enjoyed it just as much, regardless of where I was sitting. I felt extremely grateful to be there, as I always do at concerts, as I know many Harmonizers were not as fortunate as me to watch their idols on stage. The girls put on the best show and I felt incredibly happy the entire time - I just did not want it to end. Plus, the atmosphere in the arena was truly electric as fans honestly sang at the top of their lungs, screamed and even did the choreography along with the girls. I was in such a bubble and it, once again, made me realise how much I just adore concerts. Don't you just wish your whole life was a concert?
As for stand-out moments of the night, it would be impossible to choose one favourite song, although here are a few: I loved 'Sledgehammer,' simply because it will always be one of my favourite 5H songs. It just has such a good beat and Ally has an impeccable high note at the end! 'Miss Movin' On' was great too as it was a reminder of just how far the girls have come, yet they still sang it with beaming smiles on their faces and with such enthusiasm, showing how they are still very much grounded and the same people they were on The X Factor. Additionally, I loved 'This Is How We Roll' as it SERIOUSLY got the crowd jumping when that beat drops and the girls went crazy on stage as well. 'Big Bad Wolf' was another fave and, if you've seen the choreography for it, you will know why. Literally, it was the hottest thing I have ever seen. 'No Way' was the big ballad of the night and it brought calmed everyone down a bit as the girls sang it so beautifully, it really was emotional. Of course, 'Work From Home' has GOT to be mentioned. They left it until the end, for obvious reasons as it is their biggest hit, but the crowd sang along so loudly and it just gave me such a stab of pride, you know?
Oh and I just want to mention that, at the end of the show, Lauren grabbed a rainbow flag from the audience, danced with it, and took it off stage with her - it was adorably beautiful.
Here is a video containing some footage I filmed on the night. I just cropped a few of my favourite clips together for your viewing pleasure, so enjoy!
Thank you to Lauren, Camila, Dinah, Normani and Ally for the '7/27 Tour Manchester' and for injecting a lot of happiness into a lot of people's lives that night. It was such an empowering, fun show and it was amazing to witness your vocals, dancing and friendship on stage in front of a huge crowd. I hope to see you again soon!
Be sure to let me know if you have seen the girls live this year and what it was like or if you are yet to see them! <3
Love, Emily :) xx

La verità in pittura () è un libro del 1978 che raccoglie le riflessioni estetico-filosofiche di Jacques Derrida intorno al tema dell'arte pittorica. È suddiviso in quattro sezioni e il titolo riprende una frase di Paul Cézanne.

Introduzione al libro
Il libro è una "messa in crisi di una riflessione estetica tradizionale e del concetto stesso di opera d'arte."
Il titolo pone il tema della filosofia classica della verità, ma Derrida subito lo sottrae e lo revoca. "La verità in pittura" deriva da una frase di Paul Cézanne, che si trova in una lettera indirizzata a Emile Bernard. Derrida analizza cosa possa significare tale frase, arrivando alla conclusione che probabilmente si tratta di un speech act, di una promessa di Cézanne. Come però si può restituire la verità in pittura? Non si tratta di un singolo quadro, ma si tratti di un percorso che si snoda in tutta la produzione pittorica. Subito però si presenta il problema di che cosa può significare Verità. Tale problematica Derrida indaga con "strategie oblique" scrivendo quattro volte intorno alla verità nella pittura.
Nell'introduzione chiamata Passe-partout non a caso, Derrida dichiara il problema che si pone nel libro. Si tratta del idioma e delle sue declinazioni.
Come si fa a parlare di pittura? Passare da un linguaggio ad un altro? Oppure è proprio il tratto, che "dà a vedere senza darsi a vedere",  forse è il trait d'union dei due sistemi di comunicazione. Il tratto, o traccia differenziale è un "movimento intrinsicamente differenziale dell'immagine". "L'immagine come traccia iconica costituisce il motore di ogni differenza e specificazione possibile, tanto nella visione quanto nel pensiero....operando lungo due direzioni opposte e, ad un tempo, complementari, ovvero, la ripetizione e la differenza."
Derrida, sezionando l'estetica kantiana, incentra la sua attenzione sui Parergon, invece che sull'ergon, perché non c'è ergon che non abbia il proprio parergon, quest'ultimo capace di superare la dicotomia tra dentro e fuori, tra quadro e cornice.
Partendo dai margini dell'opera Derrida tenta la decostruzione, cercandone le linee di fuga,  i molteplici tratti che la costituiscono.
Bisogna forse rendere spurii i due linguaggi e farli confluire l'uno nell'altro, agendo cioè da pittore attraverso l'utilizzo di lemmi linguistici.

La struttura

Partendo da una dichiarazione di intenti di Cézanne, quella di restituire la verità in pittura, Derrida parte alla minuta sezione del problema di cosa si intende con tale frase e lo declina in quattro punti principali e cioè: 1)la prima parte, che si articola in quattro Parergon -rispettivamente:  Lemmi, Il parergon, Il senza della censura pura, Il colossale-  intende ripercorre la grande tradizione filosofica di cosa è un'opera d'arte, nelle declinazioni di Kant, Hegel, Heidegger; 2) Segue +R (al di sopra del mercato) scritto in occasione della mostra di Adami Il viaggio del disegno del 1975, come per appunto tenere legati due idiomi che paiono differenti e senza punti in contatto apparentemente, cioè il tratto fonico al tratto grafico; 3)La prossima sezione sono i Cartigli,
pubblicati in occasione della mostra di Gérard Titus-Carmel del 1978 al Centre Georges Pompidou e qui Derrida prende in considerazione il tratto come firma e scioglie il cosiddetto sistema delle "duzioni"(riproduzione, produzione, induzione, riduzione), la firma come evento che ha luogo. 4)L'ultima parte sono le RESTRIZIONI della verità in pointure, definito da Derrida "polilògo" e dice che si tratta di una voce di donna. Quest'ultimo è è un intreccio dei tre discorsi precedenti ed una risposta al saggio di Meyer Schapiro "La natura morta come oggetto personale" del 1968.  In tale saggio Schapiro afferma che Heidegger nel suo saggio sull'Origine dell'opera d'arte è egli stesso, dopo aver visto il dipinto di Van Gogh con sopra tre scarpe dipinte, a attribuire attraverso la proiezione il valore contadino delle scarpe grazie ai propri(di Heidegger) ideali terreni, mentre si tratta da tipiche scarpe cittadine, probabilmente appartenute a Van Gogh stesso. Derrida risponde con l'interrogativo che cosa sono un paio di scarpe, formulato sottoforma di dialogo a più voci, spingendo il discorso sempre più minuziosamente al limite.

ADB, EIB Launch €150m Fund to Finance 1500 African SMEs - Business Journal
ADB, EIB Launch €150m Fund to Finance 1500 African SMEs
The European Investment Bank (EIB) and the African Development Bank (AfDB) launched on November 21 in Abidjan, in partnership with the European Commission, a fund specially dedicated to financing African start-ups, small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
The €150 million fund, named BoostAfrica, should leverage up to a billion euros of new investments, support more than 1500 innovating start-ups and SMEs across Africa. The fund was launched at AfD's headquarters in Abidjan in the presence of EIB's president Werner Hoyer, AfDB's, Akinwumi Adesina, and Ivorian Prime Minister, Daniel Kablan Duncan.
BoostAfrica aims to promote the development of an efficient entrepreneurial ecosystem in Africa by supporting the most risky stages of the enterprise value chain.
"Boost Africa is a truly great initiative which will support African entrepreneurship and innovation, and nurture the continent's new talent. It is thus a concrete way of tackling the long-term factors fuelling poverty, instability and brain drain – many of which are at the origin of the migration crisis we all currently face," said EIB's President, Werner Hoyer.

On the ropes, Apple's China nemesis still dreams
Here's a piece I wrote with Lee Chyen Yee about the man and company behind the iPad trademark battle in China.
(Reuters) – Yang Long-san, Apple's nemesis in a battle over the iPad trademark in China, once strutted the expo halls with dreams of market dominance. His company, Proview, may now be in ruins and his most valuable asset a disputed trademark, but those dreams remain intact.
"My biggest wish is to resolve all these frustrating problems and put them behind me," Yang said in a recent telephone interview. "If we can resolve all the problems we have now and I have a chance to make a comeback, I'd still want to overtake my old competitors."
Much of that will depend on whether he wins a long-running dispute over ownership of the trademark in China – Apple's second-biggest market by revenue. Although a recent decision by the Shanghai district court to reject Proview's demands that Apple stop selling the iPad was a setback for Proview, the case is still to be heard in the higher court in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong Wednesday.
A decision against Apple there would set a precedent that would create an uphill battle in other cases in lower courts around China. Local media have said Proview is seeking up to 10 billion yuan ($1.6 billion) in compensation.
Proview's fortunes may currently be the polar opposite of Apple – one has creditors at the door and the other is the world's most valuable listed company – but both illustrate how the fickle world of technology can make or break a company.
Yang and Proview rode the first wave, when every home and office desk had to have a computer, and a screen. For Apple, the last decade has seen it ride the crest of a new wave where the computer moved from a commoditized, clunky desktop to a fashionable mobile consumer device.
Proview may now be a shadow of a company, trying to convert its last major asset into cash, but it was not always so. "They definitely existed," says IDC analyst Rhoda Alexander, who covered them for a while. "They were a significant manufacturer and a major player."

Sadie Robertson singing on Duck Dynasty's Christmas album
Duck Dynasty's Sadie Robertson will be adding singer to her impressive resume, which already includes fashion designer and model.
Sadie Robertson made her modeling debut at New York Fashion Week on Monday, September 9, to show off her Sadie Robertson Live Original line during the Evening By Sherri Hill Spring 2014 show at the Trump Tower.
In addition to styling a black-and-white polka-dot ball gown, the A&E reality star walked down the runway in a beautiful, short beige dress.
Sadie Robertson's parents, Willie and Korie, and other family members took a break from operating their Duck Commander company, which makes products for duck hunters, and traveled from Monroe, Louisiana, to support Sadie at the show.
Sadie Robertson will be lending her voice to the upcoming Duck the Halls -A Robertson Family Christmas album
"First time at New York Fashion Week," Korie Robertson told Us Weekly.
"We've been to New York before, of course, but first time at Fashion Week and we've had a great time. We're so proud and so happy about the partnership with Sherri Hill. She's been awesome. And they're a family business like we are, so we feel really great."
Sadie Robertson said she likes to design dresses that are "unique" and "daddy-approved", but she also has a celebrity fashion icon that she admires.
"I've been saying Carrie Underwood," she said.
"She's a country girl and she dresses very nice, classy."
Korie Robertson also revealed that Sadie will be lending her voice to the upcoming Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas album.
"Sadie sings on it. Yeah, she has a couple of solos," Korie Robertson said.
"And Willie wrote a song for it, so it's really a lot of fun."

Litsea bindoniana, known as the big-leaved bollywood is a rainforest tree in the laurel family. A small to medium-sized bushy tree endemic to the rainforests of tropical Queensland, Australia. It features large leaves with attractive yellow venation, 25 cm (10 in) long by 10 cm (4 in) wide. They are dark green above, and paler and somewhat hairy below. The leaf stalks are hairy. The small (0.7 cm diameter) greenish flowers are fragrant and occur from March to May. They are followed by fruits which mature from September to October, being a black drupe. Regeneration is from fresh seed, after removing the fleshy aril around the seed.

The species was first described by Ferdinand von Mueller as Cylicodaphne bindoniana in 1865, before he reclassified and renamed it as Litsea bindoniana in 1882. It was named in honour of Victorian 19th century parliamentarian and agriculturist Samuel Henry Bindon. It is one of eleven species in the large Asian genus Litsea to reach Australia.

Litsea bindoniana is found in central and northern Queensland in forests to altitudes of 1000 m (3500 ft). Its fruit are eaten by the superb fruit dove, along with many other lauraceae. It is also a food plant for the blue triangle (Graphium sarpedon) and bronze flat (Netrocoryne repanda). The leaves are used by the tooth-billed catbird (Scenopoeetes dentirostris) to decorate its display court.

Litsea bindoniana is suited as a garden plant in tropical situations. Young plants need protection from winds, as well as plenty of shade and moisture.

Saving the Bayou
As Salt Water Rises, Cajun Country Looks to the Mighty Mississippi
On the boardwalk at Louisiana's Barataria Preserve, the prehistoric quiet of the swamp muffles the sound of vehicles passing on a nearby highway. I stand listening to palmetto blades rustling like scratchy wind chimes. Green water snakes sun themselves on islands of water lilies. Grey lizards scramble on the boardwalk built along roots of moss-bearded cypress.
A century of navigation, mineral mining and oil and gas activity has left the Louisiana coast cross-cut by canals and spoil banks, threatening a remarkable and delicate swamp ecosystem.Coalition to Save Coastal Louisiana
Here in the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park, 15 miles south of New Orleans, land meets water, sunlight splinters through leaf canopy, great white egrets bob for minnows, alligators float log-like in peat-dark bayous. Life in the swamp has gone on unchanged, a repository of wild, predatory beauty, for centuries. Yet Louisiana's wetlands are living on borrowed time.
Everywhere, crisscrossing the coastal lowlands, are thousands of manmade canals that cause the marsh to soak up salt water like a giant sponge. Outgoing tide carries off soil and sediment. Levees built to protect New Orleans from spring floods have kept the river from depositing alluvial soil and rebuilding the lowlands. Unless drastic improvements are made soon, geologists predict that the wetlands of Louisiana—roughly everything south of Interstate 10—will be submerged within a century. Nothing short of diverting the flow of the Mississippi River can sustain this invaluable ecosystem.
"Louisiana is already at an almost dysfunctional stage," warns David Muth, resource manager for the Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. "Because of development—roads and canals—we've completely altered the basic hydrology. When it rains, the water goes to the Gulf much more quickly than it would otherwise. And when a storm-tide or south wind-tide blows salt water in, it gets farther into the basin than it would naturally. So we're already seeing, and have been seeing for 50 years, a very rapid land loss."
What is at stake is nothing less than America's most productive estuary system, a giant fish nursery and rookery for thousands of species. It extends westward to the Atchafalaya River, forming a big triangle 100 miles wide, bordered by the two rivers with the Gulf of Mexico at the base. "All the fish that inhabit the Gulf spend some part of their life cycle here," explains Kay Radlauer, president of the Barataria-Terrebonne Estuary, "so it's important for all coastal fishing from Texas to Florida. Much of the seafood people are eating in other parts of the country comes from here. This area also provides other resources such as oil and gas."
The wetlands consist of seven zones, all of which are being narrowed, pushed inward, says Muth, "and the total amount of wetlands is diminishing. Yet if we get sea level rise on the order of some of the predictions, then south Louisiana, including its cities and infrastructure, probably will become untenable. In my opinion it's still salvageable, but it will take a lot of money and political will to make some big changes."
Re-establishing permanent freshwater flooding that will drive out the encroaching salt water is one of the long-term goals of the Louisiana Coastal Wetlands Conservation and Restoration Task Force, made up of representatives from five federal agencies and the governor of Louisiana. Over the next 20 years, 62 approved projects will address wetland loss in nine coastal hydrologic basins along Louisiana's coast, affecting 73,000 acres of threatened wetlands. Also working to turn the tide are a patchwork of private, state and governmental organizations, including the Alliance for Affordable Energy and the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana.
Passed by Congress in 1990, the Breaux Act (Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act), covers all of the United States coastline, but the state of Louisiana, facing disastrous wetlands loss, receives 70 percent of total funding. Unfortunately, one large-scale restoration project alone can cost more than $200 million, and the monies provided annually thus far fall short of the $14 billion needed for "Coast 2050," a comprehensive plan to restore coastal Louisiana, and achieve no net loss of wetlands by the year 2050. If the situation remains unchecked, Louisiana will lose an area of wetlands the size of Rhode Island.
The Barataria-Terrebonne Estuary Foundation is also studying drainage projects, "to divert water back out to rebuild the marsh and restore nutrients," says Radlauer, spreading an aerial map on a counter in Lafitte, Louisiana. Radlauer places her palm on the map showing the Mississippi's meanderings. Dry, orange deltas—once wetlands until the river bypassed them—fit her hand exactly where the river previously filtered into the marsh in five channels. "The plan is to flood these dry deltas," she explains, "and bring them back to life."
As we talk, a tape of the Neville Brothers is playing over a speaker system. Lafitte is Cajun country, home of po-boys, gumbo and jambalaya. Mardi Gras is a couple of weeks away and green, gold and purple decorations can be seen on houses along Highway 45. The wetlands are deeply rooted in French and Spanish custom—the descendants of Acadians who migrated here from Nova Scotia in the 18th century make their living from the sea.
"Our people here troll for shrimp as their main livelihood," says Dale Ross, of Lafitte. "Over the last 50 years they have had, and have gotten used to having, two shrimp seasons. The white shrimp season traditionally was the only season they had, but now, because of salt water intrusion, there is a brown shrimp season [deep water shrimp]. If we are successful with the fresh water influx programs they will lose the brown shrimp season entirely. They are willing to accept that, because if the salt water situation is allowed to continue, the life we know will come to an end."
The Breaux Act paved the way, but billions of federal dollars will be needed for the massive project of diverting this great river. Riverboat pilot and legendary author Mark Twain, when his steamboat reached the mouth of the Mississippi, reportedly remarked, "Boys, it's a success."
A hundred years from now, will we be able to say the same?
"I am very hopeful," says Muth. "I see literally billions of dollars being spent every year to restore South Florida and the Everglades wetlands system. However, I think if people knew that the lower Mississippi River and adjacent wetlands are far more productive than the Everglades, they would be willing to step in and spend the kind of money that's needed."

Pope Francis to meet victims of Japan's 2011 'triple disaster'
October 30, 2019 CNA Daily News News Briefs 1 Print
Tokyo, Japan, Oct 30, 2019 / 01:02 pm (CNA).- Pope Francis' three-day visit to Japan in November will include a meeting with people affected by the country's "triple disaster," when a major earthquake and subsequent tsunami on March 11, 2011 triggered a meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
An estimated 19,000 people died and 150,000 were displaced by the tsunami, which was triggered by a magnitude-9 earthquake under the ocean off the coast of Japan. In the wake of the nuclear disaster that followed, considered the worst since Chernobyl in 1986, another approximately 150,000 people were displaced in mandatory evacuations. Many of these people have not returned home.
Francis' meeting with victims will take place Nov. 25 at the Bellesalle Hanzomon event center in Tokyo.
Following in the footsteps of Pope St. John Paul II, who traveled to Japan in 1981, Francis will also make stops in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, under the theme "Protect all life."
He will deliver a message on peace at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, and he will give a speech on nuclear weapons at the Atomic Bomb Hypocenter Park in Nagasaki.
According to Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican secretary of state, the issue central to the papal trip to Japan will be an appeal for nuclear disarmament.
"I believe that in Japan, the Holy Father will insist, above all, on the theme of disarmament," Parolin told journalists Oct. 29. "This insistent appeal just to take disarmament seriously. Because today we are in very real danger, we are in danger because the tendency is to re-arm ourselves…"
Another significant moment of the papal trip will be a visit to the site of the execution of the 26 Martyrs of Japan, who were killed for their faith by crucifixion in 1597 in Nagasaki.
Francis will pay his respects to the martyrs at the monument in their honor on Nishizaka Hill.
Catholics make up less than 0.5% of the population in Japan. Christianity was first introduced to the country in the 16th century by Catholic missionaries, most notably St. Francis Xavier. In the years that followed, Catholics in Japan suffered waves of fierce persecution.
In Tokyo, Pope Francis will also celebrate Mass at the Tokyo Dome and meet with young people in the capital city's Cathedral of Holy Mary.
On Nov. 26, the final day of the trip, he will visit the Jesuit-run Sophia University.
Before arriving in Japan, Pope Francis will also spend three days in Bangkok, Thailand, where he will meet King Maha Vajiralongkorn at the Amphorn Royal Palace.
In Thailand, the pope will also have several interreligious meetings: one with Christian and other religious leaders and another with the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand, who is the leader of the order of Buddhist monks in the country.
He will also celebrate Mass in the National Stadium and in the Cathedral of the Assumption.
The pope's visit to Thailand is in commemoration of the 350th anniversary of the Vatican Mission to Siam in 1669.
The small Catholic community in Thailand, less than 0.5% of the mostly Buddhist population, has been celebrating the anniversary throughout 2019.

Indian order dismisses nun from religious life for disobedience
August 7, 2019 CNA Daily News 2
Kochi, India, Aug 7, 2019 / 11:54 am (CNA).- The superior general of the Franciscan Clarist Congregation dismissed from religious life Monday Sister Lucy Kalapura, who has been accused of several acts of disobedience, including a protest of the handling of another nun's accusation that a bishop serially raped her.
Sr. Ann Joseph, superior general of the community, sent a letter to Sr. Lucy Aug. 5 saying that she has been dismissed from the religious community, a decision confirmed by the Congregation for the Oriental Churches.
Sr. Lucy has led a life agaisnt the principles of religious life, the community says, by disobeying a transfer order, publishing poems after having been denied permission to do so, buying a vehicle, withholding her salary from the congregation, and participating in a protest against Bishop Franco Mulakkal of Jullundur, who has been charged with several instances of raping a nun of a different congregation.
The letter from Sr. Ann Joseph said that Sr. Lucy "did not show the needed remorse and you failed to give a satisfactory explanation for your lifestyle in violation of the proper law of the FCC", according to The News Minute.
Sr. Lucy had been sent a letter of warning Jan. 1, asking that she appear before Sr. Ann by Jan. 9 to explain her disobediences, or face expulsion from the congregation.
In January Sr. Lucy said that the congregation was trying to silence her, and denied any wrongdoing.
She was sent a second letter of warning in February, according to The News Minute. India Times reports that she "failed to respond to a notice issued against her in March".
The congregation's General Council, held May 11, voted unanimously to dismiss Sr. Lucy, and asked for confirmation from the Congregation for the Oriental Churches.
The congregation granted confirmation, writing, "the same professed one remains freed from her religious profession and other obligations and separated from her Religious Congregation, and to be considered dismissed from her religious life, and to be considered as a simple layperson the other things to be done what are to be done according to the law."
Sr. Lucy has 10 days to appeal the dismissal to the congregation.
"In case you accept this decree of dismissal without any recourse, as per canon law and as per the decree of confirmation, you will be freed from the obligations of the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience that you have taken in the Franciscan Clarist Congregation and you will have no more rights and duties in the Franciscan Clarist Congregation and hence, you are to leave the present community within 10 days from the reception of this communication, after having handed over your religious habit to the superior of your local community," the letter reads.
Sr. Lucy said that "there is no fault on my part. I will not move out from the convent and I will fight against this (dismissal) legally."
She is currently living at a convent near Mananthavady.
In the January letter of warning sent to Sr. Lucy, the superior general wrote that she joined a protest regarding Bishop Mulakkal "without the permission of your superior. You have published articles in some non-Christian newspapers and weeklies … gave interviews to 'Samayam' without seeking permission from the provincial superior. Through Facebook, channel discussions and the articles, you belittled the Catholic leadership by making false accusations against it and tried to bring down the sacraments. You tried to defame FCC also. Your performance through social media as a religious sister was culpable, arising grave scandal."
The letter also said Sr. Lucy failed to obey a transfer order given her in 2015 by her provincial superior, and that she published a book of poems despite being denied permission to do so, and used 50,000 Indian rupees ($700) from the congregation's account "without proper permission" to do so.
Sr. Kalapura is also accused of buying a car for about $5,670 and learning to drive without permission, and failing to entrust her salary from December 2017.
Sr. Ann Joseph called these acts "a grave infringement of the vow of poverty."
The superior general added that Sr. Kalapura has been corrected and warned several times by her provincial over her "improper behaviour and violations of religious discipline."
"Instead of correcting yourself, you are simply denying the allegations against you stating that you have to live your own beliefs, ideologies and conviction. You are repeatedly violating the vows of obedience and poverty. The evangelization and social work you do should be according to the FCC values, principles and rules. The present mode of your life is a grave violation of the profession you have made," Sr. Ann Joseph wrote.
Another nun of the Franciscan Clarist Congregation, Sister Lissy Vadakkel, was transferred earlier this year from Muvattupuzha to Vijawada.
Sister Alphonas Abraham, superior of the FCC's Nirmala Province, said in February that Sr. Lissy's transfer was unrelated to her acting as a witness in the case against Bishop Mulakkal.
Hong Kong bishop talks Church-state relations, hopes for the future
September 3, 2017 CNA Daily News 0
Hong Kong, China, Sep 3, 2017 / 04:08 pm (CNA).-
The challenges endured by Catholics in China are complex, said Bishop Michael Yeung Ming-cheung of Hong Kong, but there are reasons to be hopeful about the future of the Church in China.
In an interview with CNA, Bishop Yeung explained the state of religious freedom and Church-state relations in China, outlined major challenges, and stressed the importance of the Church's work amidst the Chinese people, especially the elderly, sick, and poor.
Appointed Aug. 1 as Bishop of Hong Kong after serving briefly as coadjutor, Bishop Yeung succeeded Cardinal John Tong Hon at the helm of an influential Chinese diocese, where the Holy See has based its mission to study the situation of Catholics in mainland China.
Bishop Yeung stressed that despite political challenges, the Church in China continues to "discover the face of Jesus in the faces of the poor. There is no motivation other than serving Christ by serving the least of His brethren without excluding others from His love and embrace. This is true of the Church in China as it is anywhere else."
The Holy See and China have no diplomatic relations, and the Chinese government has tried to control the Catholic Church in China ever since 1949, when the Chinese Communist party took control of the state. This has resulted in a progressively difficult and complex relationship over the last 70 years.
Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association
In 1957, the Chinese government established the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association (CCPA), and required all bishops to join it. The Chinese Catholic Church split, with many bishops and priests going underground.
With time, the Holy See and the Chinese government have developed realpolitik solutions to the appointment of bishops, which the Chinese government claims the right to control. However, the Chinese government has still appointed bishops within the CCPA which are not recognized by the Holy See, and the Pope has appointed bishops which the CCPA has refused to recognize.
Talks for a possible agreement between the Holy See and the Chinese government regarding the appointment of bishops have been underway in recent years. The CCPA celebrated its 60th anniversary with no fanfare, thus raising hopes that an agreement would be finalized. In fact, though, things are at the moment stuck.
Bishop Yeung explained that "the Chinese authorities define the CCPA's role as acting as a bridge between the Church and its own internal governance offices," but that "it is how that role is played out in practice that can make an enormous difference."
The bishop said that "not too much can be read" into the "lack of fanfare of the CCPA's 60th anniversary celebration" because "the CCPA does not appear to me to be poised to write itself off."
He explained that CCPA was created by the National Congress of Chinese Catholic Representatives (NCCCR), an organization founded to supplant the Bishops' Conference of the Catholic Church in China (BCCCC), which was established by the Holy See.
"The very existence of these three entities, their composition and their relationships among themselves and with the Church are presumably all part of the challenges to be met in negotiations between the Holy See and Chinese administration."
However, Bishop Yeung stressed that these are not "new challenges," as "Pope Benedict XVI has himself identified and recognized these and various other issues in his 2007 letter to Chinese Catholics which cannot be washed away if there is going to be any sustainable 'healing of relationships'."
Bishop Yeung's predecessors held strong views about the possible agreement among Chinese Church leaders: his predecessor Cardinal John Tong Hon has supported it, while the previous influential Cardinal Joseph Zen has been highly critical of the possible agreement.
Bishop Yeung recalled what the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, said in a July 27 interview granted to the Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore. Cardinal Parolin said that "dialogue in itself is already a positive fact," and that the Holy See was facing it "in a spirit of healthy realism."
"A healthy realism," Bishop Yeung commented, "is indeed required to guard against false hopes and unrealistic expectations on the one hand and premature closing of doors to further dialogue on the other."
The Level of Reality
He stressed that "things aren't always what they seem to be," and that "what is happening at the practical level of reality is often more significant than what has or has not been achieved at the formal level."
Talking about the situation of religious freedom in mainland China, he said that "signals are often mixed and the situation varies from religion to religion, from locality to locality and from time to time."
Bishop Yeung said that "the Chinese Constitution speaks of 'freedom of religious belief' and protection of 'normal religious activities,' but what truly matters is how governmental control is exercised…in practice."
He noted that control is particularly important during this "sensitive time in the run-up to the 19th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party scheduled for November."
"I'm not too surprised that Yu Zhengsheng, one of the seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee and Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), is reported to have, in July this year, stressed that Beijing intends to keep 'a tight rein' to ensure that the Chinese Catholic Church is held firmly in the hands of those who 'love the nation and the religion," namely Chinese communists.
Bishop Yeung explained that part of the strategy of the State Administration for Religious Affairs (SARA) "was to reinforce its regulation of religious affairs and control over religions, minorities and any potential source of social disruption."
Increased regulatory restrictions require registration of all religious workers – including Catholic priests, both official and unofficial, through the CCPA – and certification of all religious sites.
Bishop Yeung recalled that "President Xi Jinping himself insisted in April last year, when addressing a National Conference on Religious Work, that religious groups must adhere to the leadership of the Party (with him as its helm), support the socialist system and socialism with Chinese characteristics, retain the principle of 'religious independence' and 'self-administration' and that there must be 'Chinazation of Religion'."
The Chinese government, Bishop Yeung said, "has since at least last year increasingly pushed for what it calls the 'five transformations,' namely localizing religion, standardizing management, indigenizing theology (by contextualizing doctrine), showing financial transparency and adapting Christian teachings so as to mold them into institutions that reflect the objectives of the Communist Party."
One of the official reasons why the Chinese government set up the CCPA was because they required all priests to be "patriotic" and to be connected to the Chinese administration.
Bishop Yeung reflected on the Chinese government's seeming reluctance to accept that Catholic bishops are not inherently unpatriotic, and that the faithful can be good Catholics as well as good citizens and patriots.
"Chinese authorities appear to have different definitions of 'patriotism' for different purposes at different times," he said. "The Chinese communist party seeks to bar party members from becoming Christians but it is perfectly content to appoint the Honorable Carrie Lam, a Catholic, who is not a member of the party, as Chief Executive of the Hong Kong governmental administration. No one suggests that she cannot love the country and love Hong Kong because of her religion."
"Indeed," Bishop Yeung explained, "our religion teaches us, among other things, to love God and neighbor, to have civic responsibility, to respect authority (at the same time insisting that authority is a form of service to be responsibly exercised), to be compassionate, to serve the poor and the sick and all those in need – and to love the country, people and planet. Indeed, you can't be a good Catholic without truly striving to be a good person and a good citizen. That holds true for bishops as it is for any ordinary lay person".
Serving the Poor
From the very first homily after his installation, Bishop Yeung talked about serving the poor, the sick and the needy, because, in his words, "the well-being of society requires the fostering of genuine ecology and unceasing efforts to bring about integral human development."
Speaking about the challenges the Church faces in its ministry as "Church of the poor and for the poor," Bishop Yeung said that "the Chinese government has generally encouraged the religious sector to participate more in social and charitable services."
Bishop Yeung explained that in 2012, several government bureaus issued a policy document called Opinions Concerning the Encouragement and Regulation of Social Services Conducted by the Religious Sector to create a legal framework for such services, and that "by that time, thanks to Deng's Open Door Policy, the Church had already established several hundred medical clinics and hospitals located mostly in provincial cities, village towns and urban centres."
"Unfortunately, the Church, with few exceptions could only provide private medical services because the reforms of the medical insurance system generally did not cover Catholic medical institutions," although he explained that in recent years, this has begun to change.
Catholic hospitals attract many clients, because of "the quality of patient care they offer."
"Many religious personnel as well as dedicated lay people are frontline workers," he said. "You find them also serving as caregivers in homes for the elderly, the handicapped, abandoned babies and orphans, not only in urban but also remote rural areas."
Challenges that these personnel face include "difficulties in obtaining formal registration" and, more seriously, "sustainability of such services, particularly when there has been an overall fall in vocations to the religious life."
Chinese Catholics hope for more equitable treatment in the years to come, Bishop Yeung said. He recalled the words of Cardinal Parolin: "The Catholic Church asks that people are guaranteed the right to freely profess their faith for the benefit of everyone and for harmony in society. Catholics wish to live their faith serenely in their respective countries as good citizens, working toward the positive development of the national community."
"I think," Bishop Yeung reflected, "these are points worth underlining, and (they) resonate with civic responsibility, social harmony and developmental goals in the Chinese mainland context."

Unlearning Racism and Anti-Blackness Within the QTPOC Community
And becoming an anti-racist, pro-Black queer badass
By Armando Sanchez
Thank you for showing up to this conversation on racism and anti-Blackness in the QTPOC community. The tea will be poured shortly, so get your mug ready. ☕
"I know you don't think a white girl made that sh*t up"
Bring It On is a quintessential gay movie for me. It has cheerleading, quotable lines, and an openly gay side character. As a closeted gay teen in the early 2000s, I ate it up.
The movie depicts simplified representations of cultural appropriation and racial economic disparities. It shows the journey that the suburban white/non-Black cheerleaders go through when they are forced to realize and admit that their routines and success were built on material stolen from an inner-city Black/brown squad.
In some ways, Bring It On mirrors the state of the queer community. Before COVID-19, most gay clubs across the country were not the most welcoming spaces for Black gay, queer, and trans people. Meanwhile, inside the club, non-Black gay cis men danced to Black artists while performing Black dance moves and shouting "Yass, kween! Werk, sis! Slay, mama!" to their friends.
The reality is that the queer community's routines and successes, cultural and political, are built on material created by Black queer and trans folx.
Why is this important to talk about? How is it relevant to me? How does this harm Black people? — These are all questions that we, non-Black queer people, should ask ourselves now and moving forward.
"She puts the 'dis' in dismantling racism"
We are born queer, and regardless of where we grew up, we are also raised racist. Sonya Renee Taylor is an author, activist, and a beautiful, fierce Black woman who shares insight on this issue. She regularly and graciously posts her thoughts on racism, white supremacy, and anti-Blackness on her social media outlets, so be sure to follow her.
In a video posted on CBS News' YouTube channel in June 2020, she says the following:
"The most freeing thing that … any human being on the planet could do right now is to just say, 'Of course, I'm racist.' Is to just say, 'Of course, I'm racist.' If you grew up in a house that spoke French and you as a baby just started laying in your crib listening to people speak French, you wouldn't have to do anything to start gaining a proficiency in the French language. You would just speak it 'cause that's what's being spoken around you. Our society speaks racism. It has spoken racism since we were born. Of course, you are racist. The idea that somehow this blanket of ideas has fallen on everyone's head except for yours is magical thinking, and it's useless. Because what happens when I say, 'Of course, I'm racist,' what it does is it says 'Oh, this is not a personal failing. This is not because I'm a bad person. This is not because I'm some evil, terrible being. This is because that is the structure of this society that I've been immersed in since the beginning of my life. And what I have the opportunity to do is to learn a new language, the same way someone who grows up speaking French can decide to learn a new language.'"
We are all proficient in the language of racism that our society speaks. We hear and internalize the racist and prejudiced messages that society disseminates about Black people. The exclusion of Black people, their life experience, and contributions to society are also a form of racism and anti-Blackness at play.
Black people's lack of or limited representation in queer media is one example. Visual media like films and TV shows have the power to shape the way audiences see themselves and others. This omission harms Black queer and trans people because it sends a message that their life experience is not important enough to be told, or that their Blackness, queerness, and trans identity cannot exist as one.
Their omission is a disservice to non-Black audiences because it limits our ability to associate queerness, happiness, love, empathy, and respect to Black queer and trans people. It keeps us from seeing Black queer and trans folx as a potential friend, lover, neighbor, boss, business partner, political representative, and simply a person who deserves our love and respect.
It is the job of us non-Black queer, cisgender individuals to dismantle racism and undo the anti-Blackness that cultivates within us. When we don't, we allow its continuation, and with it, the harm it imposes onto Black people on a daily basis.
"Will not being racist get you off my back?" "Not completely, but it'll help."
The racism and anti-Blackness that exists in the queer community is rooted in the same societal racism and anti-Blackness that imposes deadly systemic violence onto Black people, especially on Black trans women. To not be racist is the least anyone can do today. We must strive to be anti-racist and pro-Black.
We do this by exploring our choices in friends, lovers, neighborhoods, work and social spaces, media consumption… everything. We examine if our choices result in Black people's
limited, stereotypical inclusion
inclusion that forces them to dilute themselves to make us feel more comfortable
Honesty with ourselves during this process is crucial. Whether we are aware of it or not, our choices are influenced by the racist and anti-Black society in which we live. Survey your life to see how racism and anti-Blackness play out. They may be a factor if
your friend group pictures lack melanin
your social media doesn't include Black people, or includes them in a stereotypical way (artists, athletes, "hot" people, celebrities, etc.)
the media you consume excludes Black people (if you failed to notice the lack of Black representation, or noticed, but don't consider it a problem)
your sexual "preferences" excludes Black people, or only includes them for specific and limited reasons
the gay clubs and bars you go to have little to no Black people
you slay, werk, yass, kween, spill the tea, shablam, click-clack, sashay, and read the house down boots, but don't do your part to fight for justice for Black people, especially Black trans women
Help yourself and other non-Black queer people do this work by having open conversations about racism and anti-Blackness, no matter how uncomfortable they may feel. Black people's lives are worth more than our comfort.
Here are five ways you can practice anti-racism and pro-Blackness in your daily life:
Continually explore and expand your knowledge on race issues, white supremacy, the effects of local and global white colonization, aspects of the Black experience (not just the struggles), and efforts to bring about racial and social justice. *Resources at the end of this article
When you hear something racist or problematic, invite the person to explain what they mean. It can be more productive to encourage people to think critically about their statements and attempt to verbalize their reasoning rather than immediately calling them or their statement racist.
Encourage your favorite brands to be more inclusive in their advertising and social media representation.
Dedicate time, donate money, use your platform(s), and cast your vote toward dismantling racism and to support efforts to care for those impacted by it. Spread awareness in spaces and systems where you have access (with family, friends, in government, at work, your profession, at school, sports league, etc.)
Acknowledge that racism and anti-Blackness exist within us all, and yet, we can still do good in this world. Let go and move past shame and guilt. These two emotions tend to be roadblocks on our journey toward removing the very thing we are trying to eradicate.
DISCLAIMER: As you do this work, be advised that people in your life may not join you toward being anti-racist and pro-Black. Some feel comfortable in their racism. Some may not be ready to travel at your pace, or at all. Some may not want to make necessary changes because they don't mind how things are now.
Whatever their reason, do not let it deter you from your journey to live as an anti-racist, pro-Black queer person. There are others out here and we would love to be in community with you.
How do I feel about being pro-Black in an anti-Black society? What challenges can I anticipate within myself and my upbringing as I make this shift? What challenges can I anticipate outside of me?
In what areas of my life can I speak up for, step aside and make room for, or amplify the inclusion of Black people and their stories?
What will I lose, or perceive to lose, if I were to live as an anti-racist and pro-Black queer person? What do I stand to gain?
It's important to work toward being anti-racist and pro-Black in a way that doesn't add burden to Black people. There are numerous resources that can help us on our journey. Explore the following:

"Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful"
It's that time of year; candles, movies, twinkling lights ...and hot chocolate! The festive season just wouldn't be the same without a delicious, creamy hot choc to cuddle between your hands! So, in today's post, we're showing you how to do just that - and, bonus, its vegan!
Of course these recipes can be made the non-vegan way too, but we thought it would be great to share some recipes which anyone can enjoy! You'll need a couple of base ingredients like non-dairy milk and dark chocolate and then a few extras to really get those festive flavours! We like to prepare our hot chocolate in the slow cooker; you can throw everything in there together, let it all combine slowly and enjoy it once the night draws in!
CREAMY AND BOOZY HOT CHOC!
Everyone enjoys a tipple at Christmas and this decadent hot chocolate brings together vegan almond milk baileys and creamy chocolate. The ultimate festive treat! This recipe makes around 4 cups so you can add to it to make as many cups as required.
. 4 cup non-dairy milk.
Simply pop everything into your slow cooker and allow it to melt and blend (be sure to break your chocolate up into pieces). Give it around 2 hours on the slow or low setting. Once its ready you may need to stir it around a little as the chocolate can settle at the bottom. Ladle it into your favourite festive mugs and top with a generous amount of vegan spray cream and some shaved dark chocolate! Delicious!
As before, pop everything into your slow cooker and allow to warm through for 2 hours on the low or slow setting. Give everything a good stir once you are ready to serve and top generously with vegan spray cream and a little dusting of orange zest for an extra kick!
How do you enjoy your hot chocolate during the festive season? We hope you liked todays recipes .. keep your eye on our blog for more coming very soon!
