About Whakatane Haidong Gumdo
Sean Cromwell first brought Haidong Gumdo to Whakatane in July 2016. Then known as Tumatauenga Sword, training’s were held in the Whakatane Football Clubhouse. However, due to Sean’s passion and leadership the club quickly outgrew this space. At the beginning of 2017, we then moved our training to the Ohope Hall where we have been ever since.
In late 2018, Cromwell handed the leadership of the club over to 1st Dan Black Belt: Danyel Degenhardt. Degenhardt first’s move, as Head Instructor, was to re-brand the club Whakatane Haidong Gumdo. The club then raised over $10,000 in order to fund four member’s to attend World Mulimpia 2019. All four members narrowly missed qualifying for the medal rounds.
2020 was shaping up to be a massive year for the club, with New Zealand set to host the Oceania Mulimpia. However, before that could happen, the Covid-19 pandemic swept across the globe, dashing any plans for the club.
After nearly two years of struggling to train amongst Lockdowns, the club had a moment of brilliance as Degenhardt achieved his 3rd Dan Black Belt, in March 2022, the undoubted highlight of year.
2023 brought the news that Degenhardt had decided to move home to Canada. 1st Dan Black Belt Michael Harland was thrust into the position of Head Instructor with changes for the club on the horizon.

Reminder #1: Former President Nicolas Sarkozy becomes one of the few French leaders to be defeated for a second term, by a big time Socialist none the less who has never held elected office; all because Sarkozy had the gall to suggest that France deal with its ridiculously bloated government & subsequent debt problems through austerity measures. However, because something like three quarters of the population (The US is at 70%) are receiving government handouts, the French populous voted for the “don’t take away mine, take it from the rich guy!” ticket. Now, ‘quelle surprise’, the uber-rich of France are looking to relocate across the Channel to their much more economically friendly neighbor, England.
Reminder #2: The government of Greece, who is what France is becoming, couldn’t decide on what to do regarding its debt, so once more they will have their umteenth election to find more representatives to not deal with their problems (Deficit at 170% of GDP, 21% unemployment, & -4% GDP growth). Meanwhile, unemployed bums, who continue to receive handouts from their government, have once again taken to the streets to protest even the thought that they should get a job and stop taking money from their government.
America, can you see the writing on the wall???
Our perpetual Candidate-in-Chief, who has now done more re-election fundraising events than all previous incumbent presidents since Richard Nixon - COMBINED (This is true. Really!), is running on the ticket of “we can keep spending money we don’t have and taxing ourselves into prosperity” ticket. Which countries does this remind you of??? Don’t tell me… I know the answer… Oh yeah, France & Greece! How’s that plan working out for you?
So, what is the great Divider-in-Chief’s answer on how to deal with our economy’s looming problems… “My opinion about gay marriage is evolving… Guess what? I support it!” Now, paragons of virtue like Ms. (Sorry, I will not say Mrs.) Yep-I’m-Gay, Ellen Degenerate and her Hollywood friends can open up their bank accounts to support the one president who understands their cause. Meanwhile, Evangelicals NOW feel motivated to support his opponent. All the while Rome is STILL burning folks!
To quote the only semi-intelligent quip ever uttered by the rambling James Carville, “It’s the economy stupid!”
Fact #1: Do not spend more than you have
Every one of us knows that if we spend more than we have, it’s called debt. Further we know, if our debt gets too big, we will become unable to pay, and that is called insolvency. When that happens, banks cut up our credit cards and we are forced to deal with the problem. Can anyone argue with a straight face and more than a fifth grade education, that this isn’t where France and Greece are, and where the US is going if we don’t take our debt problem seriously? Unlike with our families, our nation will not have it’s credit card taken away (Can we wait for China to make the call?), unless we elect adults to national office to deal with this problem.
Fact #2: The economy is dynamic not static
We have been incecently taught by our media & government the belief that if someone gets richer, it means someone else got poorer. Leading the charge is our Deceiver-in-Chief, promoting the idea being that the economy is one fixed pool of money, so naturally a rich person growing his wealth, lowers what is available from that pool: If someone wins, naturally, someone else loses. Not only is this wrong, it’s just plain stupid. Were that the case, the world would have the same gross domestic product every year since the beginning of time. The simple truth is that economies are either growing or dying. They are never static. That means, when someone gets rich, their money provides opportunities for others to get rich. Just think Apple, or Bill Gates, or when a new employer opens up shop in a small town. The point being, our goal as a nation should be to set up policies to enable as many people as possible to become rich.
Fact #3: We cannot tax our way to prosperity
Ok name just one country where this has worked. I know this is an over simplification. But really people, can you not see the futility in the practice of raising taxes? When you raise taxes enough on one class of people, those people will most certainly change their behavior, thus lowering the expected tax revenues collected by that government. There are so many examples of this; it’s actually creepy that this point is still argued by the Left. I offer one recent example: In February, it was reported that UK tax revenues from the top 50 British tax payers were lower than last year, even though the country increased the tax rate. They have admitted that the targeted well-off Britons were “maneuvering to avoid the new high rate.” One word, Dah!
The facts are simple. Unless the US gets its financial house in order, and cuts spending, increases incentives for businesses to grow, provides economic freedom, and lowers taxes; we will be bankrupt, just like France and Greece. It is only a matter of time. So, when casting your vote in November, please don’t vote for the “what’s in it for me” ticket. Instead, vote for the candidate that knows it is STILL all about the economy.

Christian Broadcasting Network
The Christian Broadcasting Network, launched in 1961, has been the principal media and entertainment platform of televangelist Pat Robertson. Robertson, who ran for president in 1988 and founded the Christian Coalition in 1989, has used CBN not only as a tool of evangelism but also a political vehicle to spread conservative policies and popularize Republican candidates for office. Its flagship news program, “The 700 Club,” was originally hosted by Jim Bakker before Robertson took over as host. “The 700 Club” is now aired on Freeform, formerly ABC Family, which began as a branch of CBN and is still contractually obligated to air Robertson’s program.

After years of speculation, Noah Schnapp has finally revealed the sexuality of his Stranger Things character, Will Byers.
Is Will from Stranger Things gay?
In a recent interview with Variety, Schnapp confirmed that Will is gay and is in love with his best friend, Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard).
“Obviously, it was hinted at in season 1: It was always kind of there, but you never really knew, [because viewers were like] ‘is it just him growing up slower than his friends?’” Schnapp said of his character’s queerness. “Now that he’s gotten older, they made it a very real, obvious thing. Now it’s 100% clear that he is gay and he does love Mike. But before, it was a slow arc. I think it is done so beautifully, because it’s so easy to make a character just like all of a sudden be gay.”
Schnapp admitted to the news outlet that he tried to avoid spoiling the reveal in previous interviews because he wanted to maintain the power of Will’s nuanced journey through the end of season 4.
While Will’s sexuality has been a topic of discussion with fans since the series launched in 2016, it was only in season 3 that his sexuality became a huge part of his character arc. “It’s not my fault you don’t like girls,” Mike memorably yelled at Will in season 3, episode 3 during a time when Will wanted to play a game of Dungeons & Dragons instead of talking about romance.
“In season 2, they were best friends and they were so close, and then obviously Mike has all his eyes on Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). Will is dealing with a little bit of jealousy there,” Schnapp said of his character. “He just wants his best friend back and wants it to be like what it was in season 1, when they were playing D&D in his basement.”
Good thing Will is never really alone, thanks to his older brother, Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton), who makes it clear in an emotional scene in season 4 that he’s always there for him no matter what his sexuality is.
How do fans think of Will’s character arc?
Schnapp said that a lot of Stranger Things fans find Will relatable even before his sexuality became a major topic with viewers. “All his friends, they all have girlfriends and they all fit into their different clubs. Will has never really found anywhere to fit in,” the actor explained. “I think that’s why so many people come up to me and tell me that they love Will and they resonate with him so much because it’s such a real character.”
The 17-year-old actor continued: “People have come up to me — I was just in Paris and this, like, 40-year-old man came up to me and he was like, ‘Wow, this Will character made me feel so good. And I related to it so much. That is exactly who I was when I was a kid.’ That just made me so happy to hear. They are writing this real character and this real journey and real struggle and they’re doing it so well.
What to expect from Will in Stranger Things season 5?
Without giving away spoilers, Schnapp told Variety that Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer will focus more on Will’s connection to the Upside Down as well as his sexuality in the fifth and final season of the series.
“I called them a few weeks ago and I was like, ‘What’s your plan with Will? Like, with his sexuality, but also with the Upside Down and all of that?’” the actor shared. “They have a lot to get to. They’re still working it out, but they have their end goal. There’s [sic] so many different things they have to address. Obviously, we hope for a coming-out scene, and I also want to see them address this connection to the Mind Flayer and how that fits into the world. And I’ve always been wondering, why was Will the first victim and the first one captured? I just want to see it all tie in and all work out. So I’m excited to see what happens.”
Stranger Things season 5 release date
Netflix has yet to set a release date for Stranger Things season 5, but the Duffer Brothers previously shared that the wait for the final season would be much shorter this time around, as they have already outlined the show’s last batch of episodes.
“We’re going to take a little vacation in July,” Ross Duffer said in an interview with Collider. “And then we’re going to come back. I know that the writer’s room is going to start in that first week of August.”
Matt Duffer confirmed to TVLine in June that the next season is “pretty well mapped out” but they are not “ready to say yet a start date for shooting.”
The Stranger Things cast also includes Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Sadie Sink, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Pria Ferguson, and Brett Gelman, among many others.

Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah has no regrets turning down England.
The 18-year-old USA international represented the Young Lions at youth level and has even been described as Paul Pogba-like by his former U17s boss Steve Cooper.
And after starring on his latest appearance for the Stars and Stripes last night, Musah has now revealed the reasons behind his decision.
He told CBS Sports: “It was a mixture of things.
“I'm really into the project we have of building this team, this new identity and trying to change the view of American soccer in the world.
“That really inspired me and was one of the things I really wanted to be involved in."
Musah rejected the chance to sign a pro deal at Arsenal in the summer of 2020 in favour of a switch to LaLiga.
He has featured six times for the club so far this term, following on from his 34 appearances last season.

We were delighted to launch the new Canford Centenary film ‘Always a Canfordian’ in a YouTube premiere on Friday 27th January at 5pm.
ESU Schools’ Mace Debating Competition
Canfordians take part virtually in ESU Schools’ Mace Debating Competition
On the evening of Thursday 14th January, a team from Canford School competed online in the ESU Schools’ Mace https://www.esu.org/competitions/schools-mace/. This is the oldest and largest debating competition for schools in the country. Arian, Rupert and Leo opposed the motion ‘This House would ban job applicants from disclosing the names of educational institutions that they have attended’. The Canford team dealt with the new ‘virtual’ format effectively giving impassioned speeches and setting out a coherent case that if passed this motion would in fact undermine what it set out to achieve, the removal of inequality for the disadvantaged. The competition is marked for four categories: reasoning and evidence; organisation and prioritisation; listening and response; and expression and delivery. Despite not making it into the top two teams going through to the next round, the Canford team scored highly in all areas.
A special mention must also go to the swing team: Magnus, Charlie and Sophia who stepped up at the last minute to enable the debate on whether ‘This House would introduce quotas for women on company boards’ to go ahead. Magnus led the team in an impressive performance where they outlined how damaging and limiting quotas could be for the development of organisations and equality more generally.
Head of English Richard Redwood commented:
“This was the first time Canford has entered the competition and an excellent evening was had by all. The pupils handled the virtual format extremely professionally and should be very proud of their performances. We will certainly be entering again next year. We are now looking forward to our own ‘virtual’ inter house debating competition which will take place on Friday 5th February.”

In recent years, we have witnessed that the Saudi Arabian government has carried out the Ghusl Kaabah ceremony, or the washing ceremony of the Ka’bah, only once a year.
The washing uses Zamzam water mixed with rose water, Oud, and Itar (fragrance). Zamzam water mixed with a rose will be splashed onto the floor and then wiped with bare hands and palm leaves to mop the floor.
While the interior walls are cleaned with a white cloth dipped in rose and musk perfume. Then the towel is used to wipe the walls of the Ka’bah.
The washing ceremony of the Ka’bah, a tradition that dates back to the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, is usually carried out twice a year. The first of these ceremonies is typically performed at the beginning of the Islamic year, in the month of Muharram; the second is generally carried out on the 1st of Shaban, the eighth month in the Islamic calendar.
However, in the last few years, the washing ceremony of the Kaaba has only been carried out once a year. The Saudi authorities took the decision for several reasons. One of the biggest reasons is logistical and practical reasons, where the authorities are known to have difficulty organizing events amidst the crowds of Ka’bah visitors and the logistics of holding the ceremony twice a year.
Meanwhile, in 2020, the washing of the Kaaba was carried out only once a year due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, which hit the world, including Saudi Arabia. The last time the Ghusl Ka’bah ceremony was held twice a year was in 2014.
Although the washing ceremony of the Ka’bah underwent changes, it remains an important event for the Islamic Ummah.
The ceremony, which is usually broadcast live on television and watched by millions around the world, is seen as a symbol of the unity of the Muslim community and a reminder of the importance of spiritual purity.
Washing the Ka’bah is a sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. When entering the Kaaba during the conquest of Makkah, the Prophet SAW washed the structure and cleaned it of idols. The caliph then followed the custom to this day.
However, setting the date of washing twice a year began during the time of King Abdulaziz: the first king and the founder of modern Saudi Arabia.

Artist + Entrepreneur = Artrepreneur.
Today, more than ever before, creative professionals from all creative domains are beginning to realize that in order to pursue a creative career you need to think like an entrepreneur. Yet as we discover in this book, the motivating factors between what drives an entrepreneur and an Artrepreneur differ greatly.
For one, Artrepreneurs are not always in it for the money. On the contrary, they are often driven by raw passion and the desire to create. This drive usually creates tension between maintaining authenticity and creativity as an artist, and administrating a business, which is you. In essence, this book is about assisting creative professionals to understand that they are the business and not only the artist. It is about the intersection between being an artist and being an entrepreneur, hence the title of the book.
Part self-help, part coaching, part delve-into-your-soul-to-find-the-real-you. Why? Because without the real you, art will always be a copy and never a creation.
As the struggle against apartheid gained momentum in the seventies and eighties, women photographers recorded the drama unfolding across the land. More recently, women have begun exploring a different aesthetic and developing a wide range of photographic practices in the worlds of fashion, journalism, documentary, and advertising. Seventy-five photographers and almost 400 images are included.
"Robin Comley" has worked as a journalist and editor and is photographic editor of "A Century of Sundays," a retrospective on 100 years of the "Sunday Times" newspaper. "George Hallett" is a Cape Town-based photographer who has exhibited internationally. In 1995, he won a Golden Eye in the World Press Photo Award for his essay on President Mandela during the 1994 election campaign. "Neo Ntsoma" has won many prestigious awards including the CNN African Journalist Award (Photography), of which she was the first woman recipient. Her work has been published in international publications and her photo-project, South African Youth ID--Kwaito Culture' appeared in "Moving in Time," an anthology of work from fifty South African photographers in celebration of ten years of democracy.
The art history of New Mexico never stopped growing and innovating. Sample some of the latest practitioners of the visual arts in this beautifully reproduced calendar. By brush and by pen, these New Mexico-based artists render the state's people, pueblos, canyons, and mountains with exuberant palettes and intriguing points of view.
This is a children's art book for grown-ups. In everyday language it shows how to explain to children what to look for and how to enjoy paintings as diverse as a Renaissance religious scene, an impressionist portrait or modernist masters like Kandinsky and Picasso. Examining 30 paintings by great artists, from 1500 to the present day, in galleries around the world, this book gives examples of the kinds of questions a child might ask about the paintings such as; 'Who are the people in this painting?' 'Why has the artist used those colours?' 'How did the artist choose what to paint?' And provides straightforward answers. Demystifying art appreciation, this book reveals that the simplest questions can be among the most pertinent. There is plenty that will stimulate children's interest in art - and enlighten grown-ups too.
Biographies of artists and writers have traditionally presented an individual's lone struggle for self-expression. In this book, critics and historians challenge these assumptions in a series of essays that focus on artist and writer couples who have shared sexual and artistic bonds. Featuring duos such as Auguste Rodin and Camille Claudel, Sonia and Robert Delaunay, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, and Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, this book combines biography with evaluation of each partner's work in the context of the relationship.
"Really good. Highly recommended." Andrew Marr, Radio 4: Start the Week From the author of the internationally bestselling The $12 Million Stuffed Shark comes a fresh and provocative look at the high-end art market and whether it is a bubble about to burst. Within forty-eight hours in the autumn of 2014, buyers in the Sotheby's and Christie's New York auction houses spent $1.7 billion on contemporary art. Economist and bestselling author Don Thompson cites this and other fascinating examples to explore the sometimes baffling activities of the high-end contemporary art market, examining what is at play in the exchange of vast amounts of money and what nudges buyers, even on the subconscious level, to imbue a creation with such high commercial value. Thompson analyses the behaviours of buyers and sellers and delves into the competitions that define and alter the value of art in today's international market, from New York to London, Singapore to Beijing. Take heed if your fortunes are tied up in stainless steel balloon dogs - Thompson also warns of a looming bust of the contemporary art price balloon. A fascinating explanation, through the field of behavioural economics, for the phenomena that is behind the incredible value of contemporary art.
Far more than being about a single artwork, this book participates in the myriad conversations and debates on the meaning of public art. Essays by Mark Gevisser, Mpho Matsipa, Alexandra Dodd, and Jonathan Cane and Zen Marie prise open critical questions about public space in Johannesburg; Oliver Barstowís interviews with the various collaborators on the sculpture?from the commissioning agent to the steelworker?reveal the complexities and challenges of creating such a massive work in so short a time (construction and installation took a mere six weeks); and the extraordinary images by John Hodgkiss of the making of the sculpture, alongside two evocative photo essays on fire walker vendors (by Ben Law-Viljoen) and old city monuments (by Alastair McLachlan), suggest the metaphorical power of Fire Walker as well as the fragile hold of street vendors over their small share of city space.
A lavishly illustrated book that explores the language of curves that spans the human body, science, engineering, and artCurves are seductive. These smooth, organic lines and surfaces-like those of the human body-appeal to us in an instinctive, visceral way that straight lines or the perfect shapes of classical geometry never could. In this large-format book, lavishly illustrated in color throughout, Allan McRobie takes the reader on an alluring exploration of the beautiful curves that shape our world-from our bodies to Salvador Dali's paintings and the space-time fabric of the universe itself.The book focuses on seven curves-the fold, cusp, swallowtail, and butterfly, plus the hyperbolic, elliptical, and parabolic "umbilics"-and describes the surprising origins of their taxonomy in the catastrophe theory of mathematician Rene Thom. In an accessible discussion illustrated with many photographs of the human nude, McRobie introduces these curves and then describes their role in nature, science, engineering, architecture, art, and other areas. The reader learns how these curves play out in everything from the stability of oil rigs and the study of distant galaxies to rainbows, the patterns of light on pool floors, and even the shape of human genitals. The book also discusses the role of these curves in the work of such artists as David Hockney, Henry Moore, and Anish Kapoor, with particular attention given to the delicate sculptures of Naum Gabo and the final paintings of Dali, who said that Thom's theory "bewitched all of my atoms."A unique introduction to the language of beautiful curves, this book may change the way you see the world.
While the battles for modern art and society were being fought in France and Spain, it has seemed a betrayal that John Betjeman and John Piper were in love with a provincial world of old churches and tea-shops. In this multi-awardwinning book - now available in paperback - Alexandra Harris tells a different story. In the 1930s and 1940s, artists and writers explored what it meant to be alive in England. Eclectically, passionately, wittily, they showed that `the modern' need not be at war with the past. Constructivists and conservatives could work together, and even the Bauhaus emigre, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, was beguiled into taking photographs for Betjeman's nostalgic Oxford University Chest. This modern English renaissance was shared by writers, painters, gardeners, architects, critics, tourists and composers. John Piper, Virginia Woolf, Florence White, Christopher Tunnard, Evelyn Waugh, E. M. Forster and the Sitwells are part of the story, along with Bill Brandt, Graham Sutherland, Eric Ravilious and Cecil Beaton.

Why would a smart New York investment banker pay twelve million dollars for the decaying, stuffed carcass of a shark? By what alchemy does Jackson Pollock' s drip painting No.5 1948 sell for $140 million? The first book to look at the economics of the modern art world, and the marketing strategies that power the market to produce such astronomical prices, this surprising and revelatory book explores the money, lust, and self-aggrandizement of the art world in an attempt to determine what makes a particular work valuable while others are ignored. Drawing on interviews with past and present executives of auction houses and art dealerships, artists, and the buyers who move the market, Thompson launches the reader on a journey of discovery through the peculiar world of modern art to reveal the source of Charles Saatchi's Midas touch, and how far a gallery like White Cube has contributed to Damien Hirst becoming one of the highest-earning artists in the world.
30 deluxe postcards. Border Bang is a passionate love letter to the Tijuana, Mexico, and US border, documenting the bootleg artefacts sold to locals and tourists alike. Raised in Tijuana, Gutierrez crossed the border to attend school. He was dazzled by the objects being sold, creating alternative narratives to the cartoon characters and celebrity portraits that he saw. Border Bang is a reflection of his childhood narrative, using images from Mickey Mouse to Tupac Shakur to convey the reflections and meditations of global events as witnessed by the border, exploring his love affair with Mexican pop and folk culture.
In this remarkable, inspiring collection of essays, acclaimed writer and critic Olivia Laing makes a brilliant case for why art matters, especially in the turbulent political weather of the twenty-first century. Funny Weather brings together a career's worth of Laing's writing about art and culture, examining their role in our political and emotional lives. She profiles Jean-Michel Basquiat and Georgia O'Keeffe, reads Maggie Nelson and Sally Rooney, writes love letters to David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, and explores loneliness and technology, women and alcohol, sex and the body. With characteristic originality and compassion, she celebrates art as a force of resistance and repair, an antidote to a frightening political time. We're often told that art can't change anything. Laing argues that it can. Art changes how we see the world. It makes plain inequalities and it offers fertile new ways of living.
Elegant, culturally accessible and beautiful, this work of original aphorisms in Russian and English from the perspective of a very successful business magnate features exceptional design and production values to ensure a striking, relevant and truly high-quality book.

Natural remedies for tuberculosis
Phytotherapy for tuberculosis
Tuberculosis must be treated with specific drugs, medicines and medical expertise. It is a disease that can not be treated only with herbal medicine.
We can use it as an adjunct to treatment, provided that the medical staff is aware of such supplementation.
Natural Remedies with plants
– Yarrow (Achilea millefolium) Its bactericide and depurative properties makes it suitable for the treatment of most frequent respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis, cold and influenza as well as to avoid respiratory spasms in tuberculosis, asthma, allergies and hay fever (Steam inhalation of a handful of flowers in a litre of hot water)
– Hops (Humulus lupus) In traditional Chinese medicine, hops was used as the antibiotic for treatment of respiratory diseases, including tuberculosis.
– Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) Fenugreek contains carpaine an alkaloid also present in papaya (Carica papaya), with antituberculosis activity.
– Knotweed (Polygonum bistorta L.) Bistort is a plant used as an aid in the prevention of tuberculosis infection, among many other damages involving inflammation of tissues. It is usually taken with macerated wine for 3 or 4 days.
A ratio of ¼ liter of alcohol of 45 ° for half of the root of the knotweed, which the second day one should add a bottle of wine (0’75l). Take each day a little glass (75ml) spread over a meal, ie morning, noon and night.
– Tincture of echinacea (Echinacea spp.), Echinacea in capsule or powder form (can take 1 to 2 grams per day, divided between breakfast and lunch) It will help us increase our defenses making our system more resistant immune against attacks by pathogens such as bacteria that cause tuberculosis.
Echinacea helps us to minimize some aspects of the disease and symptoms, and giving us mineralizing properties against sputum blood and mucus that causes pulmonary tuberculosis. (Attention!, Although some specialists can recommend this plant, the German E Commission recommends not to use without the consent of the doctor or specialist)
– Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) in fresh or dried leaves, but it can also be used in the form of essential oil. It has antiseptic, balsamic, decongestant, respiratory stimulant and expectorants. It Is indicated for infectious respiratory affectations, such as tuberculosis as well as for inflammatory affectations, such as bronchitis.
We can take it in the morning, afternoon and evening (half a teaspoon of leaves (let stand 15 minutes). You can add the juice of a lemon and a little honey. You can also inhale to clear the congestion)
– Tarragon: (Artemisia dracunculus) Because it acts as a natural antibiotic, tarragon seasoning was formerly used as medicine for tuberculosis (Use it as a condiment or infusion; 5g. Dried leaves in 250ml of water. Take a couple of glasses)
– Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) is a plant expectorant, antitussive, colds and respiratory problems, so it is indicated as a possible aid for the adjunctive treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.
You can make a tea with half a teaspoon of flowers. It should be hot, with a little honey if desired.
– Infusion of forsythia (Forsythia suspensa) and honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), joins the antiseptic properties of the first with the beneficial properties for the respiratory system which gives us the second. Whereupon, it is also very interesting, to help combat the damages of tuberculosis.
– Mullein(Verbascum thapsus) is a plant that has beneficial properties to improve respiratory system problems. It is usually indicated in affectations as colds, inflammations and infections that affect the lungs and around.
(Infusion is usually done with half tsp of flower petals in a liter of water. Let stand for half an hour and take to help treat tuberculosis.
– Ivy (Hedera helix), is a plant with antiseptic, balsamic, decongestant and stimulant of the respiratory tract, expectorant,… is usually indicated to alleviate symptomatology as cough and respiratory congestion.
You can prepare an infusion with a pinch of flowers, or with a teaspoon of leaves with a little honey and lemon, in both cases must be taken in the morning, afternoon and evening.
– Greater plantain (Plantago major) for its expectorant properties is indicated on tuberculosis and other affectations of the respiratory tracts such as in bronchitis.
You can make a tea with a teaspoon in a liter of water. Let stand for fifteen minutes and is preferable to take it hot. You could also add honey and lemon if desired.
– Walnut (Juglans regia), is a tree whose leaves are used to make tea (half a teaspoon) in a liter of water and let it rest for fifteen minutes and spread over the day in three doses. He is credited with a considerable content of vitamins and beneficial effect against tuberculosis.
– Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is an expectorant and antitussive, which can be helpful in respiratory problems, and is also indicated for infections such as tuberculosis.
You can make an infusion of 100 g of shoots in a pint of hot water.
Pine tree cone buds and needles
– Lungwort (Pulmonaria officinalis) is a plant that has soothing, anti-asthmatic and expectorant that can help address affectations of the respiratory system such as pulmonary tuberculosis.
It can be taken as a decoction or infusion (a teaspoon of lungwort leaves in a liter of warm water. Let stand 15 minutes and add freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey if desired)
– Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) also has antibacterial effect, which can help fight tuberculosis. It can be used as a sweetener in other infusions.
Other plants with antituberculosis properties we can help.

A British couple wanted to tie the knot legally but ran up against one small problem, marriage equals patriarchy. So to settle the score and obtain true equality, they needed to get hitched with out getting married. That’s right, you read correctly, they want a civil union!
RT supplies us with the gory details:
Rebecca Steinfeld, 37, and Charles Keidan, 41, from west London, won their case in the Supreme Court after it was unanimously decided by five justices that the Civil Partnership Act 2004 was incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights.
The Act, which until the ruling was reserved for single-sex couples only, offers Steinfeld and Keidan the same legal treatment in terms of inheritance, tax, pensions and next-of-kin arrangements as marriage.
Announcing the court’s decision, Lord Kerr said the government did not seek to justify the difference in treatment between same-sex and different-sex couples.
“To the contrary, it accepts that the difference cannot be justified,” he said.
While same-sex couples have had the choice to either get married or enter a civil partnership since March 2014, heterosexual couples can only get married – which led Steinfeld and Keidan to argue that the law was discriminatory.
In their ruling. the judges said that the government should have eliminated the inequality of treatment between same-sex and opposite-sex partners when the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act came into force in 2014, the judges said.
“This could have been done by abolishing civil partnerships or by instantaneously extending them to different-sex couples… Taking time to evaluate whether to abolish or extend could never amount to a legitimate aim for the continuance of the discrimination.”
While the ruling does not immediately change the law of the land, or oblige the legislature to do so, the decision will put pressure on the government to change the law.
The couple, who have been together for eight years and have two children, had previously called out the patriarchal “legacy” of marriage, calling the institution that “treated women as property for centuries” an option that wasn’t available to them.
Speaking to the BBC after the ruling, the “elated” couple explained that they wanted to raise their children “as equal partners,” adding that entering a civil partnership, “a modern, symmetrical institution,” set the best example for them.
According to The Guardian, the couple’s commitment to equality and rejection of marriage because of its patriarchal associations is such that, rather than give them a double-barreled surname, they have the fused family name of Keidstein.
LGBT and human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell called the ruling a “victory for love and equality.”
“It was never fair that same-sex couples had two options, civil partnerships and civil marriages, whereas opposite-sex partners had only one option, marriage,” he said.
This business about ‘equal rights’ for marriages and partnerships which do not envisage loyalty to a single person over the course of a lifetime to the exclusion of all others and the formation of a family, is not about equalizing the playing field here, it’s about eradicating marriage altogether. Masha Geesen put it quite bluntly in her speech:
This is about the destruction of the lifelong exclusive union of a monogamous heterosexual couple and is the goal of these types of movements. They aim to destroy the family, and in so doing, to destroy civilization itself.

All Featured Issues
Cancer and Immunization: More than meets the eye
Evidence from several disciplines indicates that immunization has a broader role to play in lessening the impact of cancer than one might expect. While it may be obvious that the widespread and growing use of vaccines against Hepatitis B and human papilloma virus (HPV) is directly responsible for preventing a significant number of related cancers, immunization against a host of other diseases may indirectly help to prevent additional cancers while helping to protect the health of immune-compromised cancer patients considerably. Read on for a brief explanation of how vaccines can prevent cancer, protect cancer patients and more.
Critical but complex: Vaccination during conflict and forced migration
Conflict and forced migration – resulting in disruption of communities and health systems – amplify the risk factors for infectious disease and increase the urgency of preventive measures such as immunization. While disease outbreaks of measles, cholera, meningitis and even polio in refugee camps may be the most widely covered issues related to immunization in conflict-affected areas and populations, this VoICE Featured Issue explores some of the less-visible, but equally critical aspects. Immunizations play an important role in these settings, considering the threat of malnutrition and antimicrobial resistance, economic pressures, and the urgent need for responsive policies.
Equity and Immunization: Shrinking the Gaps
Although more children than at any point in history are now protected against vaccine-preventable diseases, millions of zero-dose children are still missing out on the life-saving benefits of immunization entirely. These children often live in the world’s most marginalized communities where inequities are clustered and compounded by poverty, geography, gender, and conflict. In order to keep making progress against preventable deaths and illness, leaders will need to integrate equity across global, national, and sub-national immunization strategies.
Gender Equity and Vaccines: an equal shot at health
Last month at the G7 meeting in Canada, global leaders met to consider gender equality, one of the 5 key themes Canada will advance during their tenure. Partners, experts and representatives in the immunization world echoed this emphasis on gender at the Global Immunization Meeting in Kigali, Rwanda just a few days ago. The issues of gender and gender equity within immunization are complex, and designing research to study equity gaps can be difficult. To understand what we do know about immunization and gender, women’s empowerment and gender equity, the VoICE team this month features an overview of these issues.
Integration: Leveraging Immunization for Health System Strengthening
The battle to eliminate polio is one example of how immunization integration can be leveraged to strengthen health systems and build vaccine acceptance. Integration is one of the three pillars of the Endgame Strategy and is highlighted as a strategic priority in the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) and in Gavi’s 5.0 strategy.
NEW RESEARCH CLIFF NOTES: Equity and Poverty Reduction Impact of Vaccines
In February 2018, Angela Chang and colleagues released a widely publicized study in Health Affairs estimating the death and economic impoverishment (due to medical expenses) that could be averted in 41 low-income nations through the use of 10 vaccine antigens from 2016-2030. Here, the VoICE team brings you “New Research Cliff Notes”, where we provide a high-level explanation of this new study, important considerations, notes on interpretation and drivers of the study’s estimates.
Pneumonia vaccines – Secret weapons in the war on poverty
Childhood pneumonia is arguably the most unfair affliction in the world. Not only is pneumonia the leading infectious cause of death in children less than 5 years of age – taking the lives of more than 100 children each hour, nearly a million per year – but it disproportionately affects those living in the poorest households and in the poorest countries around the world. Hib, pneumococcal, measles and pertussis vaccines are turning the tide in the battle against childhood pneumonia, and are helping to erase the complex inequity into which children living in poverty are born. Read on to find out why and what role vaccines are playing in the war on poverty.
Possibilities: The Far-Reaching Benefits of Immunization
The story of immunization is often headlined with the remarkable health benefits—millions of lives saved, and illnesses and hospitalizations prevented. But the true impact of vaccination is even more far-reaching, touching many areas of people’s lives from supporting early childhood growth and development to improving educational outcomes and productivity, promoting economic stability, and helping to address equity gaps: It’s seemingly impossible to undersell the importance of vaccination. This World Immunization Week, the VoICE editors highlight some of the broader benefits of immunization—not only helping to prevent illness and save lives, but also promoting healthy development, productivity, economic stability, and equity for all.
Special edition: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in the global fight against child pneumonia
Pneumonia is responsible for more than 800,000 under-5 deaths each year—claiming a child’s life every 39 seconds. Vaccines against pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), pertussis, measles, and influenza are important to help protect children from disease and prevent the lasting health, equity, and socioeconomic effects of pneumonia. This week, country leaders, scientific experts, program and policy officials, and advocates from around the world will meet in Barcelona to elevate pneumonia on national and global health agendas and raise the call for action against this common, serious, preventable cause of child illness and death.
The Unyielding Impact of Childhood Diarrhea
Despite tremendous global progress, diarrhea remains the second leading infectious cause of under-5 deaths, taking a child’s life almost every minute. Although diarrhea can seem like a common, simple childhood ailment in many places, a single episode of diarrhea can be serious, even deadly, and have severe economic implications for families and communities. Advocates play a critical role in ensuring evidence-based diarrhea prevention and control programs and policies are a top priority globally and in the countries where this disease is most prolific.

Artisan Reveals Release Slate at Annual Las Vegas Event31 Jul, 2001 By: Stephanie Prange
Billing the studio as “The Independent Alternative,” Artisan Home Entertainment president, sales and marketing, Jeff Fink told retailers at the studio’s annual Las Vegas event today that diversity of product, DVD and a strong theatrical slate would make Artisan “the independent leader in the home entertainment marketplace this year.”
The home entertainment division made $200 million in revenue in 2000 and was “on track to duplicate that” this year, he said.
DVD, he said, already accounts for one-third of revenue. And in late 2001 through 2002 Artisan will release special edition versions of such catalog hits as Basic Instinct and Total Recall, both due Sept. 18 in uniquely designed packaging; the Rambo trilogy, coming in March 2002 in a 20th anniversary edition; and the indie classic, Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, coming in July 2002 in a 10th anniversary edition new director’s cut.
Also coming on special edition DVD Dec. 4 (prebook Nov. 7) is the first season of David Lynch’s seminal TV series “Twin Peaks” with a director’s commentary and packaging that reflects the series’ dark underbelly theme. A smiling picture of Laura Palmer on the cover folds out to reveal a picture of her dead face covered in plastic.
Artisan will also bow a special edition of Down From the Mountain, about the music featured in the Coen brothers acclaimed film O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Family Home Entertainment franchises like “Clifford,” are bolstering Artisan’s sellthrough slate. FHE president and Artisan executive v.p. Glenn Ross said “Clifford” has sold more than 1 million units and is on track to sell 1.5 million units by year-end. The series airs on PBS. Ross also noted that FHE’s “Baby Einstein” series of baby tapes is in 13,000 stores and that it is on track to sell 2 million units by year-end.
Then there’s Barbie. Artisan and partner Mattel are throwing considerable marketing muscle behind her first movie, the direct-to-video Barbie in the Nutcracker, created with computer-generated imaging demonstrated in an impressive clip that illustrated the beauty and detail of the animation. In addition to tie-ins with McDonald’s and rebate tie-ins with the Nutcracker Barbie, among other marketing initiatives, Artisan will hold a star-studded Hollywood premiere for the title. Barbie in the Nutcracker debuts Oct. 2 on VHS and Oct. 23 on DVD at $19.98 each.
Other upcoming sellthrough titles include the Discovery Channel’s When Dinosaurs Roamed America, timed to coincide with publicity for Jurassic Park III and coming out on VHS and DVD in August; and such Hallmark releases as Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story, airing on CBS, and Snow White, starring Miranda Richardson and airing on ABC.
In the fitness market, where Artisan has come out of nowhere to dominate VideoScan market share on the fame of Denise Austin, the studio is bowing a new series, “Yoga Fusion,” featuring newcomers Kim Haegle and Teigh McDonough. The series will launch with a 60-second infomercial to build awareness.
On the rental side, Artisan, true to its diverse theme, is presenting both theatrical and DTV titles.
The theatrical comedy Made, starring Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn of Swingers fame, is billed as a cross between “The Sopranos” and Swingers. The film, screened during the event, has already earned $1.3 million in theaters and will hit video Nov. 13 (prebook Oct. 16). The special edition DVD, with commentary from Favreau and Vaughn, will retail at $24.98. Other theatrical titles due on video in the fourth quarter include the erotic Center of the World, which earned $1.1 million theatrically and is out in December; and the acclaimed documentary Startup.com, which $1.19 million at the box office and comes out on video in September.
With a $15 million production budget, Artisan’s October release Replicant, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, is perhaps one of the biggest budget DTV rental titles this year. The studio also plans to release a DTV Steven Seagal actioner Ticker in November.
Of Artisan’s commitment to DTV when many studios seem to be pulling back from the category, Fink said, “There’s still a market out there for higher quality direct-to-video titles with star power.You have to spend $20, $30 million in [promotion and advertising] just to get a nationwide release theatrically. It’s more profitable on video.”
Artisan’s upcoming theatrical slate includes Soul Survivors, starring Wes Bentley (American Beauty), Eliza Dishku and Casey Affleck; Novocaine, with Steve Martin, Helena Bonham Carter and Laura Dern; Good Advice, starring Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards; and Van Wilder: Party Liaison, a comedy in the vein of American Pie.
Video Update chairman of the board John Jump, attending the Artisan event, praised the studio for its strong lineup and “street” knowledge. “They’ve got good stuff coming,” he said. “They’re working hard.”

Due to waiting lists, study recommends more rental units in Detroit Lakes
And the survey says…
- Expect more households of those aged 55 and above and fewer of ages 54 and younger.
Community Partners Research, Inc., out of Lake Elmo, Minn., completed a housing study for Detroit Lakes, and it’s filled with many conclusions to help city officials more forward with any housing questions they may have now and in the future.
To get better, truer demographics for the study, the company included the residents of Detroit Township and Lake View Township. The report states that Detroit Lakes has seen substantial growth over the years, but much of that is due to annexation of parts of these townships.
Between 2000 and 2010, the two townships increased 850 people and 499 households. The city of Detroit Lakes added 1,221 people and 545 households, but that includes annexation.
Projections show that Detroit Lakes and the surrounding area will continue to grow between now and 2020. The study conservatively suggests that the townships will grow about 50-55 households in that time period.
Because of the baby boomer generation retiring and moving to the area, the age projections for 2010-2015, the study finds that “overall the area should experience a decreasing number of households age 54 and younger, and an increasing number of households age 55 and older.”
From January 2000 to December 2012, there were more than 740 building permits granted in Detroit Lakes, most of which were single family houses.
“Although the construction of single family units was significantly greater than the number of multifamily units, tenure patterns did not reflect this same trend,” the study says.
Between 2000 and 2010, the rental rate in Detroit Lakes increased while home ownership decreased.
There are several reasons that trend happened in Detroit Lakes. Many housing units are used for seasonal purposes, the study says, and census reports are based on permanent residency, so those owning properties in this area do not report their residences as permanent.
“The 2010 Census counted nearly 1,200 seasonal-recreational residences in the Greater Detroit Lakes area,” the study says, which includes the two townships.
There are plenty of buildable residential lots up for grabs in Detroit Lakes. Most are single family lots, and the city needs to make some zoning changes for multifamily construction, the study suggests.
“Detroit Lakes has experienced some issues with home foreclosures and bank-owned sales, but this has not been a major problem for the area,” the study states.
Distressed sales in 2012 equaled 15 homes, half the level reached in 2010 and 2011.
Becker County has a relatively low rate of foreclosure, ranking 63rd lowest among Minnesota’s 87 counties in 2012.
In 2012, the midpoint sale price for existing homes in Detroit Lakes was $151,350. The number has increased over the last seven years.
DL is place to rent
At the 2010 Census, the rental rate in Detroit Lakes was 39.5 percent, well above the state average. In 2013, the rental housing inventory is estimated at 1,650 to 1,700 units in the city.
There have also been no new multifamily buildings since 2010.
Demand is high in the city for rental units, and most report less than 1 percent vacancy rate.
“There was evidence of strong demand for this type of housing, with many property owners-managers indicating that any available units could be filled by word-of-mouth, and that advertising was not required.”
Federally subsidized housing units, most of which are geared toward seniors or disabled renters, have no vacancies. Instead, most buildings are on a waiting list.
That goes for the Housing Choice Voucher Program as well.
In 2013, about 140 households were using this form of subsidized housing payment. And as of May, the Detroit Lakes HRA program has 350 names on a waiting list for the program.
The county reports significant growth in available labor force throughout the county over the last 13 years.
“When comparing 2012 to 2000, the available resident labor force increased by 2,314 people, or 14.8 percent.”
About half of that growth happened in just a couple years, from 2008 to 2012.
The employed workforce has also increased, but at a lower rate, therefore, the unemployment rate increased from 4.9 percent in 2000 to 5.8 percent in 2012.
“However, the unemployment rate in 2012 was well below the recent peak of 8.9 percent reached in 2009.”
The highest paying sectors were construction, public administration, manufacturing and financial activities, which were above $40,000.
“The average annual wage in Detroit Lakes for all industry in 2012 was $33,488.”
Community Partners Research found that Detroit Lakes is in need of 155-175 rental units to fill the growing demand.
For subsidized income rental units, the study recommends “that at least 24 additional units should be added, oriented to families.
“This recommendation is limited due to the lack of resources available to construct ‘deep subsidy’ rental housing.”
While there is a substantial need for rental units, the study found that there is still a demand for homeownership as well. It predicts a need for 25 to 27 units per year for residential households.
Most of the net growth for housing will come from those ranging in age from 55 to 74, who tend to be homeowners instead of renters.
“The forecasts used in this study expect between 60 percent and 70 percent of the demand to be in a moderate to higher price range.”

A JAMA study, using data on patients hospitalized in March from all 21 Kaiser Permanente Northern California hospitals, is one of the first U.S. studies to look at overall hospitalization admissions of COVID-19 patients.
A Kaiser Permanente study of women who were given inactivated influenza vaccine while pregnant found no indication of developmental problems for their babies at 6 months old.
Women who had an untreated infection during pregnancy were more likely to have a child who later went on to be obese than pregnant women who never had an infection, new research from Kaiser Permanente finds.
Black patients being treated for hepatitis C can take 8 weeks of certain direct-acting antiviral drugs rather than the previous recommendation of 12 weeks, updated guidelines say.
Kaiser Permanente researchers have developed a new analytical tool that identifies people at risk of contracting HIV so they may be referred for preventive medication.
A single, 45-minute “motivational interview” with two 20-minute follow-up phone calls may help people with HIV who report unhealthy drinking reduce their alcohol intake, say researchers at UC San Francisco and Kaiser Permanente.
Division of Research investigators participated in a multi-institution collaborative analysis, which supported the safety of current transfusion practice within Kaiser Permanente’s network of community hospitals.
Children who were up to date on their pertussis vaccine schedule were far less likely to develop the disease than those unvaccinated. The risk of vaccinated children becoming ill increased with time since vaccination, suggesting waning effectiveness.
Direct-acting antiviral agents used to treat patients with the hepatitis C virus are not associated with higher rates of adverse liver, kidney, and cardiovascular events, according to research published in JAMA Network Open and supported by data from Kaiser Permanente Northern California.

The Acropolis (Paperback)
Global Fame, Local Claim
If you are fascinated by the Acropolis in Athens but a little tired of books full of typologies of ancient monuments, phases of construction and styles of sculpture, then here is a new study that will challenge and entertain you. In this book Yalouri considers the meaning of the Acropolis in contemporary Greece and analyses how local Greeks deal with the national and international characterization and appropriation of their ancient classical heritage. She breaks away from the idea that the Acropolis is simply a monument anchored to a particular site in a particular past, but looks at it as "mobile" monument with multiple national and international identities. She considers the meaning and significance of the Acropolis for professional archaeologists, tour guides, orthodox priests, and local school children alike, and analyses how these meanings compare and relate to the "official" national and global discourse. Serious heritage issues combined with fun illustrations make this book a must-read for classical archaeologists and anyone interested in material culture studies.

A timely novel about racism and police brutality becomes a timely film, with the October 19 release of The Hate U Give, based on Angie Thomas’s YA novel of the same name. The film stars Amandla Stenberg (The Darkest Minds; The Hunger Games) as the story’s protagonist, 16-year-old Starr Carter. The film also features Regina Hall (Girls Trip) as Starr’s mother and Algee Smith as Khalil, her best friend. The film is directed by George Tillman Jr. (Notorious), and is produced by 20th Century Fox.
Thomas made her authorial debut with The Hate U Give (HarperCollins/Balzer + Bray) in 2017. The book went on to receive the Coretta Scott King Award for the best novel written by an African-American author for children, as well as the Michael L. Printz Award. Thomas’s second novel, On the Come Up, will be published in February 2019.
In The Hate U Give, heroine Starr Carter occupies two realities: that of Garden Heights, a predominantly low-income, black neighborhood; and the starkly different world of her elite prep school. Starr has been coached by her father about police brutality and how African-Americans are often unfairly targeted by law-enforcement. So when she and Khalil are pulled over by a white officer, she tries to remain calm. But as Khalil steps out of the car, then reopens it to check on Starr, the officer opens fire, killing Khalil.
A media storm ensues, with Khalil being inaccurately depicted as a drug dealer and thug. When the offending officer fails to be indicted, Starr feels she has no choice but to identify herself and to publicly speak out, becoming a leader in the fight against police brutality.
Thomas has spoken about the initial inspiration for the book: the 2009 police shooting of Oscar Grant III, a 22-year-old African-American man in Oakland, Calif. Subsequent shootings of unarmed black men like Trayvon Martin and Tamir Rice inspired Thomas to expand what began as a short story into a full-length book.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Thomas spoke about responses to The Hate U Give within the current political and social climate: “When you say ‘Black Lives Matter’ to three different people, you get 30 different reactions…. There are so many misunderstandings. There’s the assumption that it’s an anti-police book, when the fact is, it’s anti-police-brutality,” she said.
The novel has received its share of backlash. According to the ALA,The Hate U Give was the eighth most challenged book of 2017. Earlier this year, the local Fraternal Order of police in Charleston County, S.C., challenged the inclusion of The Hate U Give and All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely, on the Wando High School summer reading list for matriculating freshmen.
In a statement given to a Charleston County news station, John Blockmon, the local president of the Fraternal Order of Police, called The Hate U Give “almost an indoctrination of distrust of police and we’ve got to put a stop to that.” As of this summer, a final decision about whether the books would be included on the list had not yet been reached by the superintendent.
Another challenge to The Hate U Give came from the Katy Independent School district in Katy, Tex. The book was removed from district libraries last year, following complaints lodged by one parent. One Katy Independent School student, 15-year-old Nyshira A. Lundy, was particularly moved and inspired by The Hate U Give, and was outraged when she learned that the book had been removed from shelves. She wrote a letter to the school superintendent, which said that “this book might be a great tool for the Katy ISD school district. It can bring about unity and understanding among the different races in your middle and high schools. By placing the book back on the shelf it also gives the children a choice.” She spoke to the National Coalition Against Censorship about her efforts. In January of this year, the book was returned to library shelves.
The NCAC and other advocacy organizations joined in protesting both the Charleston County and Katy, Tex., challenges. A few YA authors, including Neil Gaiman, weighed in as well. As the Guardian reported, Gaiman tweeted: “I don’t actually believe that book-judging is a legitimate part of the business of policing.”
As is one of the ironies of book censorship, it often has the opposite of the intended effect—and with over 1.5 million copies of The Hate U Give sold in North America to date, it’s clear that readers are eager for storytelling that touches on pertinent topics. A movie tie-in edition of The Hate U Give was released last month, with the potential to draw many more readers to the book before the movie premieres nationwide. A collector’s edition of the book, which includes a letter to readers from the author, fan art, and a discussion of the story’s origins, released earlier this month. And, in a clear sign that art imitates life—and vice versa—Amandla Stenberg will be appearing on an October cover of Time, first in a series on “Next Generation Leaders.”

Have you ever started an art project with an idea and it went in a total direction? It happened with this canvas. I was going to create a great wintery landscape but then I found TCW579s Mini Sheet Music and added it with bronze acrylic paint. The canvas was painted in TCW9002 Black Gesso first then I watered down TCW9016 Spun Sugar Heavy Body Acrylic Paint and pushed my canvas in it.
Next I mixed Spun Sugar and bronze paint together and added TCW518s Mini Evergreens to the canvas.
I made my own glitter/snow paste by mixing TCW9006 Gel Medium Gloss, Diamond Dust, and a little bit of bronze paint.
I added TCW720s Snowflakes with my glitter paste, painted a frame in bronze paint, found a little tree, a deer and finished the canvas.
It’s still a wintery landscape!! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. We would love to see what you create with The Crafters Workshop Stencils and Mediums. You can share it with us on our Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest using hashtag #tcwstencillove.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
