Toronto Mayor John Tory is unmoved by arguments from city staff, some Willowdale residents, their city councillor and safety advocates who want separated bike lanes on a stretch of north Yonge St.
Tory confirmed his opposition to that part of the “Reimagining Yonge” plan for the Sheppard-Finch corridor Tuesday after Councillor John Filion and others urged him to reconsider before the issue returns next week to the public works committee chaired by a Tory ally.
“I believe those bike lanes are better located . . . on Beecroft (Rd.), which is one street to the west, and I believe that will allow us to not take out two lanes of traffic on Yonge St.,” to free up space for the bike lanes as recommended by city transportation staff, Tory told reporters.
“It is my job as the mayor of the entire city to achieve a balance between all the different competing uses for space, competing groups that have different opinions, and so on. And that includes in this case cyclists, pedestrians, local businesses, local residents, pedestrians — did I mention them? — (and) car drivers.”
Councillor John Filion, whose Willowdale ward includes most of the affected stretch of Yonge, called such opposition to the plan “ridiculous.”
“I’m kind of astonished myself that I have to scramble for 23 (city council majority) votes to get staff recommendations adopted,” he told reporters at a morning news conference at city hall, before Tory spoke to the media. “I can’t remember a similar situation . . .
“We’ve only got one chance to get this right. Once Yonge St. is reconstructed, which it needs to be, you won’t be able to fix this for the next 50 years. Let’s act now before there are more pedestrian injuries and fatalities and let’s get it right and get rid of a lane of traffic,” in each direction.
Between January 2010 and December 2017, that stretch of Yonge saw 78 collisions involving pedestrians and five involving cyclists. Eight of them were seriously injured or killed.
As well as reducing vehicle lanes in the stretch from six to four, the $51.1-million remake includes wider boulevards, better pedestrian crossings, and a landscaped centre median aimed at bringing more vitality and safety to a stretch flanked by an ever-growing forest of condominium towers.
Public works members will receive a detailed study by city transportation staff predicting vehicle lane reductions in that stretch would have “minimal” impacts on commute times for rush-hour drivers there, about three-quarters of whom live outside Toronto.
The study also warns that leaving vehicle lanes in place offers scant room for the other planned improvements aimed at bringing more vitality and safety to a condo-lined corridor with lots of cars and little street life. The Beecroft option is possible but would add about $20 million to the cost of the project and meet fewer of its objectives than putting the bike lanes on Yonge, the study says.
Tory told reporters he believes that extra cost can be reduced or even eliminated, without giving any details.
Jesse James, who lives with his wife and children near Finch and Willowdale Aves., joined Filion at city hall to demand the staff plan be built.
“My wife and I regularly feel threatened as we bike or walk,” by traffic on busy Yonge St. he said, noting the booming area often teems with students from nearby schools. “With over 52,000 children and youth (in the area), and a large proportion of them living within a two block walk of Yonge or travelling on bikes or walking . . . this most iconic street must be reimagined,” James said.
Jess Spieker of Friends and Families for Safe Streets, which advocates for measures to make pedestrians and cyclists safer, said the staff plan follows guidelines in Vision Zero, a plan to eliminate road deaths, and Toronto’s “Complete Streets” plan, both of which are endorsed by Tory and city council.
Pedestrian and cyclist injuries and deaths are “the inevitable outcome of a six lane highway running down the middle of a neighbourhood. . . ,” Spieker said, addressing her remarks to politicians.
“Road safety is your job. Lives depend on your decisions,” she said. “By ignoring city staff and supporting the Beecroft option, which would sustain the intense danger on Yonge St., Mayor Tory is showing us zero vision instead of following through on his express commitment to Vision Zero.”
Public works chair Jaye Robinson did not respond Tuesday to request for comment. At a meeting last month some residents, including Alasdair Robertson of the Bayview Cummer Neighbourhood Association, opposed removing vehicle lanes. He said doing so would funnel motorists onto nearby residential streets, and supported putting the bike lanes on Beecroft.
Tory, elected mayor in 2014 and planning to seek re-election in October, has been criticized for strongly supporting the King St. pilot project that limits vehicle traffic on that downtown road to help speed up the movement of streetcars.
But his administration has often focused on the need to keep vehicles moving, even if it costs more money. When city staff recommended replacing the aging elevated east Gardiner Expressway with a ground-level boulevard, council instead approved an option that keeps it aloft but moves it closer to the railway at an extra cost of more than $500 million.

This is Scientific American's 60-second Science, I'm Christopher Intagliata.
This Halloween, as you carve jack-o'-lanterns and make pumpkin pie, take a moment to appreciate just how far the humble pumpkin has come.
"The wild form of a pumpkin is about the size of a tennis ball, and it tastes like one. It's incredibly bitter, it's got a very hard rind, and it's extremely unpalatable to humans."
Logan Kistler, an archaeologist at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. He says as unpalatable as those early squashes were, they made a tasty tidbit for mastodons.
"And we know that because there are deposits of mastodon dung in Florida that are over 30,000 years old. And so in those mastodon dung deposits, sure enough, what we can find are wild squash seeds."
Kistler says mastodons probably weren't put off by the gourds' bitter taste. Because a few years back, his team analyzed the genomes of more than 40 mammals. And they found that the larger the animal, the fewer copies of a bitter-taste-perception gene they tended to have.
"And turns out there's this absolutely beautiful correlation between body size and the ability to taste bitter compounds. And so what we think is going on is that these are really plants adapted for a landscape with large herbivores. They evolved this bitter toxicity in order to deter small mammals who would destroy the seeds, but they've evolved it at just the right level where large mammals are not put off by the bitterness, and they can disperse the seeds."
Through their poop.
Kistler reported those findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 2015.
Along with dispersing seeds, mastodons, just like modern elephants, probably stomped around a lot and vacuumed up vegetation—creating the sort of disturbed environments where squash plants thrive. So it was a beneficial match.
But then, of course, the mastodons died out. And humans, Kistler says—which also tend to disturb the environments around them, creating great squash habitat—may have taken the mastodon's place. The details are murky.
"The way that the domestication of squashes started is still a little bit of a mystery, because they're bitter and toxic in the wild, and they get to this place of palatability."
Perhaps, he says, humans grew the gourds first to use them as storage vessels—and later tamed the bitterness. Either way, squash seeds, stems and rinds discovered in a cave in Oaxaca, Mexico, provide evidence that, at least 10,000 years ago, ancient people had already begun domesticating a squash that would, eventually, carve a place for itself as our modern pumpkin.

“野生南瓜的大小和网球差不多，尝起来也像 。它非常苦，外皮非常硬，对人类来说非常难吃 。”
史密森尼国家自然历史博物馆的考古学家洛根·基斯特勒说到 。他说，尽管早期的南瓜很难吃，但它们对乳齿象来说是美味佳肴 。
“我们知道这些是因为佛罗里达州有3万多年前的乳齿象粪便 。所以在那些乳齿象的粪便和沉积物中，我们肯定能找到野生南瓜种子 。”
基斯特勒表示，乳齿象可能不会被野生南瓜的苦味吓退 。因为几年前，他的团队分析了40多种哺乳动物的基因组 。他们发现，哺乳动物的体型越大，其感知苦味的基因就越少 。
“事实证明，体型和品尝苦味化合物的能力之间存在绝对美妙的关联 。所以我们认为，这些是适应大型食草动物生存环境的植物 。它们进化出这种苦味毒性是为了阻止小型哺乳动物破坏种子，但它们进化的程度恰到好处，大型哺乳动物不会被这种苦涩所吓退，它们可以散播种子 。”
除了散播种子，乳齿象和现代大象一样，可能会四处踩踏并吸收植物——创造出一种混乱的环境，让南瓜植物茁壮成长 。所以这是一场有益的比赛 。
当然，后来乳齿象灭绝了 。基斯特勒说，人们也倾向于扰乱它们周围的环境，创造出巨大的南瓜产地——可能取代了乳齿象的位置 。但具体情况尚不清楚 。
他说，也许人类最初种植南瓜是为了将其用作储藏容器，后来才让苦味变淡 。不管怎样，在墨西哥瓦哈卡某洞穴中发现的南瓜种子、茎部和皮提供了证据，证明古人至少在1万年前就开始种植南瓜，这种南瓜最终会为自已开辟一块地方，成为我们现在的南瓜 。

Developed as far back as the 16th Century, The Fascine was the forerunner of The Artillery Short Sword. Artillerymen (Gunners), needed a form of personal protection in battle. Often, rifles and muskets were impracticable for their use. Pistols were used and swords (of various types) were pressed into use. The Fascine was a short sword/dagger blade. Double-edged, it was designed for hacking and stabbing. Versions are documented as being slightly curved as well. Ranging from 15 to 20 inches long, they featured a “T” Guard Grip and Handle for very basic hand protection. Weight ranged from several to 4-pounds. Often carried in a scabbard, they were also used as a tool (for cutting wood and clearing brush and even digging holes!). Fascines are also in the evolutionary development of The Machete.

Cassius Brown Siblings
Brown’s father, Bobby, has been married four times and has seven children altogether. Therefore Cassius brown is blessed to have six siblings.
Bobby gave birth to his first child Landon on June 22, 1986, with Melika Williams. Along with this, Brown bored two kids with Kim Ward.
Their first kid La’Princia was born in 1989, while young Bobby Brown Jr was born in 1991. In addition to this, Whitney had several miscarriages when she was with this rapper.

His sister Bobbi Kristina Brown is no more.
Bobbi Kristina Brown was a media personality and singer born on March 4, 1993. She was the only daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston.
This lady was only 22 years old when she was discovered unresponsive in a bath. According to reports, she was consuming cannabis and alcohol.

Berryhill highlights new mental health program results
Berryhill Center at UnityPoint Health delivered the initial results at a virtual Wednesday meeting of two new programs deployed over the summer to reduce stress on other hospital departments and deliver mental health services where they’re most needed.
The first, Behavioral Health Urgent Care, started providing the mental health equivalent of an urgent care clinic on June 1, with extended hours from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday.
“When COVID started, we thought about great ways to support our emergency department,” said Jennifer Pullen, licensed mental health counselor. “Typically, as a person goes to inpatient hospitalization for psychiatric care, they go through the emergency department.”
As the UnityPoint system braced for a potential influx of COVID-19 cases over the summer at Trinity Regional Medical Center, the new clinic located across the street from the hospital has resulted in a decline in behavioral and mental health patients requiring emergency room intervention, Pullen said.
The clinic, open to anyone regardless of age, helps with mental health crises. A crisis can range from someone going through a difficult day with a need to talk about something to those with suicidal ideations or a plan to act on harmful thoughts.
Patients are screened by a nurse, evaluated by a therapist to determine their immediate situation and needs, and walked through the next steps for support.
“An important component is case management,” said Aaron McHone, director of Berryhill.
While patients are there, staff spend time to determine whether they’re food insecure or have housing problems and holistically identify other issues that need support. If no inpatient care is needed, patients immediately build on that connection with Berryhill to get support for their needs. If they need to be admitted to inpatient care, that relationship with Berryhill is waiting to help them as soon as they’re discharged.
In close to four months of service, 83% of 114 clients served have found resolution that doesn’t require inpatient treatment.
Crisis services are funded by $2 million grants secured in part thanks to Berryhill’s status as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCHBC). Though the grant is currently in place for two years, McHone said Berryhill expects it to continue indefinitely. The grant will fund 25 positions, 21 of which are new.
“It’s really an opportunity to bring more people on to ensure that (clients) get the care they need,” he said.
The new CCHBC licensure type, to be rolled out across the state in coming years, ensures more comprehensive care with accompanying standards for patients.
The other service, a mobile crisis response team, has helped a handful of patients since its deployment on July 1. Since then, the service in partnership with the Iowa Department of Public Health’s (IDPH) Your Life Iowa program has expanded from Webster County to Pocahontas, Humboldt and Wright counties.
The unit brings face-to-face care to those in a “self-proclaimed crisis” in the field, wherever it’s needed.
“We’re able to meet an individual where they’re at,” McHone said — even if it’s in a parking lot.
“(Situations) can be anything from a person having thoughts of suicide or self harm to struggling with a panic attack or anxiety disorder,” said Melissa Klass, certified drug and alcohol counselor. “Whenever an individual is feeling a crisis, they’re able to request mobile services.”
With a two-person team, services arrive within one hour of the call any time — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
So far, two-thirds of patients have found resolution without requiring inpatient care.
Calls made to their phone number, 855-581-8111 (or via text message at 855-895-8398), are screened by Your Life Iowa, a program funded by the Iowa Department of Human Services, and dispatched to the units where the caller is located. Though more than half of the calls received in the area so far have been initiated by friends or family, regulations dictate that those receiving the services must be aware of and receptive to the service.
“That’s not something you can get for someone who’s averse to that,” McHone said.
For those whose mental health condition precludes them from being able to make an informed decision or consent to necessary care, the Berryhill director said alternatives include civil commitment in court by two people with firsthand knowledge of the person and law enforcement welfare checks.
Though the service funded by County Social Services and the IDPH has only had nine clients since opening, he said the program is ramping up and expects to have 40 dispatches by the end of the year, with further growth in 2021.
From experience, he said new programs tend to start slow and grow by word of mouth as more clients utilize the services. More marketing is planned to inform the public of where they can receive care, how they can receive care and how they can discern the level and urgency of care they need.

“The difference between the possible and the impossible lies in a man’s imagination.” – Tommy Lasorda
Last fall, the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated their 60th year in the City of Angels by bringing home their 23rd National League pennant, earning their second consecutive trip to the World Series. But while Clayton Kershaw, Cody Bellinger, Corey Seager, Kiké Hernandez, and the rest of the Dodgers are starting the 2019 season, their owner is headed south of the border for a different kind of Opening Day.
Dodgers owner Bobby Patton and the No. 240 Jimco-built Fastball truck will make their 2019 off-road season debut in the 33rd SCORE International San Felipe 250, coming to San Felipe, Mexico on April 3-7. Now extended to a record 349.91 miles, this year’s event in San Felipe will feature one of the most challenging courses in event history. Patton will partner with friends Tim Vail and Barry Karakas to run the event.
“I can’t wait to bring Fastball down to San Felipe to kick off the 2019 SCORE International season,” said Patton. “April is an important month in both baseball and off-road racing, as each sport’s top teams work hard to establish themselves early in the year. We know we’ve got the players to do that with the Dodgers, and we’re hoping to match that intensity and those results with Fastball.”
Patton’s off-road journey began at the 50th Anniversary SCORE Baja 1000, where he and a group of friends entered a 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser in the Vintage class. In the middle of the night, Patton’s team, believing itself to be hopelessly out of contention to finish the grueling event, decided to call it a race, pulling the car off course, booking a hotel, eating dinner, showering, and catching some well-deserved rest.
In the morning, the team called the GPS tracking company to make arrangements to return their tracker, when they were notified that not only were they not out of the race—they were leading! Refreshed by both the good news and a good night’s sleep, the team returned to the race course, crossed the finish line, and won off-road racing’s answer to the World Series in their first try.
“Our adventure in Baja was just the start of an incredible adventure,” said Patton. “When we found out we won the 50th Anniversary of the sport’s most prestigious race, we were hooked! But more importantly, we were ready to step out of the minors and work our way up the system, and that’s why we worked with Jimco to bring a brand-new Trophy Truck Spec build to the desert.”
But this weekend’s ride is no Land Cruiser. The Jimco-built Trophy Truck Spec ride that Patton and company will take down to San Felipe boasts significantly more power under the hood thanks to an LS3 motor by Danzio Performance, 26” of front suspension and 32” of rear suspension travel via Fox Shocks, and all the all-star performance parts that a Jimco build entails. Add an eye-catching coat of Dodger blue paint, and this is one truck ready for the big leagues. Take a look here:
To prepare for the season, Patton held a personal Spring Training of his own to get acclimated to the new ride. Legendary off-road racer Ricky Johnson was drafted in as Patton’s pitching coach of sorts, dialing in Fastball’s top speed, its sliders and curveballs around the corners, and giving the team all the tools to pitch a perfect game in their season opener.
Patton and the Fastball team are excited to head down to Mexico, where the Dodgers boast an incredible amount of fan support thanks to both Los Angeles’ proximity to the Baja California peninsula and top players like Mexican-born starter Julio Urias. Like the perfect battery of an ace pitcher and savvy catcher, the combination of Dodger blue and off-road racing is sure to be a winning combination in San Felipe this weekend.
“We can’t wait to see all the off-road fans wearing Dodger blue this weekend in San Felipe,” said Patton. “Our two fanbases have plenty of crossover, as we’ve seen plenty of fans of SCORE at Dodger Stadium over the years. Hopefully we can give them a new team to root for, and pay off their support with wins both on the field and in the desert this year!”


Comes with an easy installation from 1-6 feet from the ceiling, this professional series mount is ideal for projectors up to 12 kg and provides the benefits of +/-15 tilt adjustment and 360 roll adjustment.

NER Brake Van Progress
The North Eastern brake van which I have been working on recently is now ready for painting! Steps are now in place, which are hopefully an improvement over the moulded originals - they should prove more robust too. I have fitted whatever brake gear can be seen, which is very little really - safety loops for the brake hangers will be fitted after painting I think as they will make removal of the wheels a little tricky.
The final parts required will be the two roof pieces for which I have 15 thou brass sheet ready and waiting!

text: Just to satisfy my curiosity, I'm keeping a table showing average ratings by network for new episodes of shows for Monday-Thursday. Those are the nights that the network suits attempt to place continuing series programs that they expect to make their network competitive. Beyond that, strategies differ. Obviously NBC skews Sunday with NFL football. CBS tries to maintain its competitive edge on Friday while it's a graveyard for Fox shows. And sometime in my lifetime Saturday disappeared off the calendar in the broadcast TV world. The table below is based on ratings through the past week, which is to say they include premiers and a varying number of episodes of shows. If you need to see a large spreadsheet version, just click on the table: It is no surprise that overall CBS has a substantial lead in the 50+ age group. What is surprising is that they have a slight overall lead in the demo. Keep in mind that these numbers involve new episodes of the regularly scheduled programs.

You might think that the end of summer spells the close of your local farmer's market. In fact, fall is the most plentiful season of the year for farm-fresh fruits and vegetables. Autumn's bounty of greens, pears and apples crosses over in the marketplace with summer delights like tomatoes, eggplants and the second harvest of raspberries.
"It's the best time of year at the farmer's market," says FoodFit Executive Chef Bonnie Moore. "You have the highlights from summer overlapping with fall fruits and veggies."
Raspberries, tomatoes, corn, summer squash, eggplant, peppers, greens, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, Swiss chard, apples, pears, Brussels sprouts, hard squash, fennel, leeks and sweet potatoes are some of the just-picked fruits and vegetables you may find in your local market now or in the weeks ahead.
"The best carrots of the year are coming up because they get sweeter as it gets colder," says Ann Yonkers, market manager of the Dupont Circle FRESHFARM Market in Washington, D.C., which was recently named one of the top farmer's markets in the country. "This is a much better time for leafy greens and lettuces because when the weather starts to cool off, it's easier for them to grow."
Many farmer's markets are open year round, Yonkers emphasizes, and there is always something fresh and marvelous available. Along with fruits and vegetables, many markets offer cheese, meat, eggs and milk.
Chilly autumn weather also makes cooking more appealing. "In fall, you get reacquainted with your kitchen after a summer of grilling on the back patio," says Moore. "It's a great season for cooking."
Soups, stews, roasts, braises and sautÚs are all back on the menu. Try this selection of different and delicious recipes that feature fall's cornucopia of fruits and vegetables.
Fall Salad with Asian Pears, Walnuts and Sherry Vinaigrette
Tomato and Bread Soup
Acorn Squash and Apple Soup
Salmon with Braised Fennel and Chive Mustard Sauce

The Lucy Jordan Award
goes to Glenn Bruner
Stage Manager Glenn Bruner is the recipient of Equity's 2012 Lucy Jordan Recognition Award, which honors an individual in the theatrical community. The award was presented by Equity's Western Regional Board and Stage Managers' Committee on May 6 during a special member reception at Tucson's historic Temple of Music and Art.
Accepting the Award, Mr. Bruner noted that he usually spends a lot of his time in a darkened control booth, so he was delighted to "bask for a moment in more than 15 watts of light and in a room where the walls are not painted black." He spoke of receiving his Equity card in 1981: "Backstage on the opening night, I recall feeling not only excitement, but also a strong sense of gratitude and privilege for being allowed to be there. In the 32 years since, I have continued to feel that gratitude, that privilege. Though I am closer to retirement than I am to the beginning of my career, I continue to be as excited about the future as I am fond of the past that brought me here. I am proud to be the 2012 recipient of the Lucy Jordan Award; I am proud to be the first stage manager so honored, and I am proud to be a member of Actors' Equity Association."
Mr. Bruner is in his 13th season as Production Stage Manager at the Arizona Theatre Company (ATC). During his career, he has also worked at Kansas City Repertory Theatre, Alley Theatre, Dallas Theater Center, Pasadena Playhouse, CENTERSTAGE, Studio Arena Theatre and Maine's Portland Stage Company. He was the Assistant Stage Manager for the world premiere of On the Waterfront at The Cleveland Play House and stage managed the Off-Broadway premiere of Alan Ayckbourn's Season's Greetings. In addition, he has been the voice for many radio and TV commercials and worked for Texas Public Radio in his hometown of San Antonio.
The Lucy Jordan Recognition Award was established in 1992 by AEA's Western Regional Board to honor and commemorate the unflagging spirit of Lucy Jordan, a former Western Regional Field Business Representative, who died that year. The award is administered by AEA's Western Regional Stage Managers' Committee.

Diversity on Broadway
Lucy Finney Jordan began her career as a ballerina and danced as a musical chorus gypsy. She met Glenn Jordan, a Stage Manager, and fell in love, becoming a wife and mother. Later, when Glenn became a producer, she wore the hat of Associate Producer for the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera. When Glenn passed away, she knew she still needed the theatre in her life, and applied and was accepted for the position of Field Representative for the Western Region of AEA.
Lucy Jordan was a friend, advisor, and confidante to principals, chorus and stage managers alike. Whether at auditions, first rehearsals, opening nights or membership meetings, her office was open to all; and her home phone number was given to, and used by, many who needed to resolve an emergency or seek an opinion. For many people in the Western Region, Lucy Jordan was the face of the union. Ms. Jordan died on May 15, 1992 and this award in her honor was created that same year.

This painting was a quick sketch style painting. I’m experimenting a lot with lighting and creating and using still life. One of my favorite styles of painting is the impressionistic style. This is something I am working on.
I had a lot of fun drawing this car. It’s actually the second 69 Chevelle I’ve been asked to draw, and it is quickly becoming my dream car. What a beauty. I wonder what it was like to buy this as a new car, instead of the new cars people are buying these days. Contact me if you are interested in custom drawings, or if you just want to discuss some art. I have been busy for the Holidays, but I still have some spots open for commissions, custom artwork and original art.
This is a drawing of a levitating Yoda. I wanted to create the drawing in my own style, while also still representing Yoda and all his vast awesomeness. What do you think?

Atibal Optics has launched their latest product with the new Glock 19 gen 3 pattern Frenzy slide.
Atibal Optics state “The Atibal Frenzy slides feature numerous cutouts on the top and sides, resulting in significant weight reduction and reduced recoil.
The rear serrations of the slide provide a more aggressive grip for solid manipulation.
These slides are manufactured in the USA from a single billet of 416 stainless steel that undergoes heat treatment to tighter tolerances than factory slides.
This ensures increased consistency in barrel lockup, leading to improved accuracy and performance.
Furthermore, the Frenzy slides are equipped with an RMR cut, allowing for easy attachment of any red dot sight with that footprint.
The deep cut and low-profile base of the CRD red dot sight enable effortless co-witnessing with standard height sights.
One of the notable advantages of the Atibal Frenzy slides is their reduced weight compared to factory slides.
This reduction in reciprocating weight decreases fatigue and facilitates faster shot follow-up placement, enhancing overall shooting performance.”
- RMR Cut
- Diamond Carbon Coating
- Cutouts for reduced weight
- Made in the USA
- Included Fiber Optic Front & Rear Sights

If ever you needed more proof that the state will do just about anything to uphold white supremacy, this story is it.
Jasmine Abdullah (aka Jasmine Richards) is an organizer with the Black Lives Matter Pasadena chapter. Last week, Jasmine was convicted of the felony charge of “attempted lynching.” It’s hard to decide what’s more disturbing: that Jasmine’s conviction is based on an almost laughable lack of criminal evidence, or that a Black woman is being criminalized by misapplication of a law initially designed to protect Black lives.
The charges stem from an August 2015 peace march that Jasmine helped organize to demand justice for Kendrec McDade, an unarmed Black teenager who was shot and killed by Pasadena police officers in 2012. At the peace march, 15-20 non-violent demonstrators including children on scooters spoke about an end to state-sanctioned violence against Black bodies in Pasadena.
Police allege that during that event, Pasadena police attempted to arrest a woman unrelated to the demonstration. Jasmine believed that the woman was being wrongfully detained, and prosecutors argue that Jasmine used her body to shield the woman from the arrest. Jasmine was later arrested based on this incident, and charged with “attempted lynching.”
The charges are based on a 1933 law designed to protect Black people or other people of colour from being unlawfully removed from police custody in order to lynch them. In order to support this charge, prosecutors argued that Jasmine’s attempt to protect a woman from an unlawful detainment was an effort by her to murder that woman, and that Jasmine’ peace march — y’know, the one with the kids on the scooters — was a “riot,” a prerequisite for an “attempted lynching” charge.
If that sounds like bullshit to you, it should because it’s fucking bullshit. Jasmine did not remove anyone for the purposes of lynching them, and there was no riot in progress at the time. Jasmine is a political prisoner who has been arrested, charged and convicted by the State of California in order to silence her pursuit of Black liberation. An anti-lynching law is being used to perpetrate a modern day lynching of a Black woman in the public eye.

I love living and working in Los Angeles, but sometimes, the city can get so overwhelming and tiring that a getaway is much needed. So Austin and I packed our bags and some camping gear for a short weekend in Joshua Tree National Park. Here’s a small travel guide I came up with if you only have little time to spare (to be more specific, 36 hours) but want to get the most out of your visit!
DAY ONE: SATURDAY
6:00AM: Since Austin is a full-time student and I’m a full-time worker, we left LA just before dawn at 6AM Saturday morning in the hopes of getting there a little before opening hours at 8:00AM
8:30AM: We ended up going to Joshua Tree National Park slightly later than expected. We were greeted by Joshua Trees scattered on the sides of the street. I suggest stopping by the Visitor Center whenever you get the chance. We went before heading to the park, where a crew member gave us a map and instructions on how to get to the next available campsite.
9:30AM: After stressing about not finding a campsite, we locked in a wonderful spot in the White Tank campsite next to some gorgeous rock formations and conveniently located right next to the Arch Rock nature trail. We parked the car next to the campsite, paid for our spot ($15 per night!) and immediately set up camp.
11:30AM: The tent was built and staked to the ground, we set aside our belongings and rested a bit before heading out to explore the campsite and the rest of the park.
– Arch Rock: This super short .5 mile trail had some gorgeous views of the flat land and the budding desert life residing in the park. The arch rock itself is a sizable arched magma rock, giving it an interesting elbow-like appearance. Joshua trees, cholla cacti, and magma rock formations were scattered in the surrounding area. We even spotted some desert lizards and cottontail rabbits in the distance.
– Skull Rock: We stopped by after hearing about the hype, but it was mostly just a large slab of magma rock with holes.The surrounding area has some nice rocks to climb and a pathway that takes you to the larger “jumbo rocks”.
– Key Views: This had a gorgeous view of the south side of the park and a little bit of the Salton Sea. We ate a late lunch of packed sandwiches here and enjoyed as much as we could of the views while trying not to get tossed over by the wind.
3:30PM: NAP TIME! We utilized the hottest hour of the day to rest and refuel.
5:45PM: If you want to see the sunset at Joshua Tree Park, there’s no better way than to see it from the tallest rock you can find. Our campsite had beautiful rocks, so we did a bit of exploring and climbing and watched the sunset together.
7:00PM: Dinner time! We brought freeze dried food from REI. We got Thai Style Chicken with Noodles, which was surprisingly delicious (and affordable). Two servings was the perfect amount for the two of us. We cooked outside with a portable gas stove and a small pot, and ate in the car to avoid all of the bugs and tiny mice that were popping up at the smell of the warm, tasty food.
8:00PM: Sky’s the Limit Observatory. A must-go for all the star lovers and astronomy nerds out there. Joshua Tree Park is the perfect place to see the billions of stars in the night sky, a feat you cannot see in large cities like LA. It is one of the most exhilarating sights to ever see, especially if you have been deprived with the sight of stars for the longest time.
The Sky’s the Limit Observatory is located just south of the northern entrance to Joshua Tree. Once you arrive, there will be people who work for the observatory that are willing to share their telescopes and as well as their expertise in the astronomy field. Stargazing was definitely on my list of things to do during my stay at Joshua Tree National Park and Sky’s the Limit Observatory made it that much more enlightening and entertaining. Austin and I stayed for about two hours admiring the stars, taking a piece of the stars’ history with us.
DAY TWO: SUNDAY
9:30AM: After a cool windy night of sleep, we took some time to pack up our belongings to head over to Cholla Cactus Garden.
10:00AM: Cholla Cactus Garden lives up to its name. WARNING: Although beautiful, their pesky thorns can pierce your skin. I was an unfortunate culprit of their spiky needles while hiking in the backwoods section of Arch Rock. Although easy to remove, they do hurt once pierced, so beware of where you step!
11:00AM: We ended our trip with a spur-in-the-moment decision to take the Cottonwood Spring’s Mastodon Peak Trail, which is a 4 mile hike loop, which is supposed to lead you to the peak and the Mastodon mines. There were plenty of beautiful views and wildlife for sight seeing and photo ops. However we couldn’t find the actual Mastodon Peak due to terrible sign directions when we reached the last stretch of the trail. Unfortunately we had to turn back after attempts to find the rest of the rail. If you ever decide to take this trail, make sure to bring a more detailed map with you. Although the maps we received at the Visitor Center were helpful for pinpointing landmarks and entrances, they were incapable of showing us small scale hiking directions.
1:00PM: After our semi-successful hike, we had to say goodbye to the desert of joshua trees, cacti, rock formations and animal life.
Overall it was a very different yet refreshing experience. Living and working in Los Angeles takes up a lot of mental energy, so it was nice to finally get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and use the national park as a place to relax and enjoy the simple things in life. I definitely would love to come back again for the beautiful hikes and the sublime stars.

The Cubs believe Kris Bryant won't miss a prolonged period of time after he suffered a sprained left little finger that forced him to leave the Chicago Cubs' game against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. The Cubs say X-rays on Bryant were negative. "I think he's doing fine," said manager Joe Maddon.
Bartolo Colón made his debut with the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night, and while the start did not end well, it did get off to an impressive start against Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees. The 44-year-old Colón was released earlier this month by the Atlanta Braves and picked up by the Twins, the tenth team the pitcher affectionately known as "Big Sexy" has started a game for. In the first inning, Colón went 1-2-3 against the Yankees and the highlight was this nasty two-seam fastball.
On a team where it’s said everyone is fair game for a trade, some players are more easily moved than others. J.D. Martinez is gone. Alex Avila and Justin Wilson seem the next most likely candidates to be moved. But no single player has had more frustrating trade rumors than Tigers’ ace Justin Verlander. First it sounded like the team was listening on him, but wanted a trading partner to take on all of his contract, then there were the limitations of his no-trade clause to consider. There are certainly a lot of factors stacked against Detroit when it comes to moving Verlander: his unimpressive 2017 season, his age, his hefty price tag. Still, he’s a two-time Cy Young winner, an All-Star, and a

This autumn, the big names in the luxury goods industry are again trying to present their responsible side in the media. While they used to speak more discreetly about their social and ecological initiatives, they now communicate regularly about these topics. Prada, Kering and LVMH have announced various projects in quick succession over the past three days.
On the occasion of the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) World Conservation Congress, which will take place from September 3rd to 11th in Marseille, LVMH has teamed up with UNESCO to highlight the intergovernmental scientific program “Man and Biosphere” (MAB) The luxury giant is the only private partner involved and has been working with UNESCO since 2019.
The two parties will present their efforts to conserve and sustainably promote biological diversity around the world in a joint pavilion in Marseille. The focus is on the implementation of innovative solutions for the management of natural and sustainable resources as well as sustainable practices and new instruments to reconcile the conservation of biological diversity with sustainable use.
LVMH competitor Kering is meanwhile presenting the first seven beneficiaries of the Regenerative Nature Fund, which he set up in January together with the non-profit biodiversity organization Conservation International. Their common goal is to ensure over the next five years that one million hectares of land are farmed using regenerative agriculture, particularly with regard to the supply chain for cotton, wool, cashmere and leather used in the fashion and luxury industries come, as Kering explains in a press release.
The fund supports farmers directly by financing various projects in different countries. The first seven projects selected are The Good Growth Company (GGC) in Mongolia, Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA) in India, Solidaridad in Argentina, Fundación Global Nature in Spain, Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and The Wildlife-Friendly Enterprise Network ( WFEN) in Patagonia, Epiterre in southwest France and Conservation South Africa in South Africa.
Kering recently made a name for itself by participating in another sustainable fashion project. The owner of Gucci, Saint Laurent and Balenciaga has partnered with Propect 100, a platform that promotes young talent. The latter is intended to create new opportunities for creative youngsters by organizing competitions on the subjects of fashion, design, music and innovation, which are aimed at the target group of under 25-year-olds.
The company, headed by François-Henri Pinault, takes part in the “Global Design Competition” launched this autumn, which is dedicated to responsible fashion. Applications are possible until September 6th. The winner will receive a $ 4,000 scholarship and attend a master class at Kering.
Another major luxury company that announced a new initiative is the Prada Group, which has partnered with Dorchester Industries, an urban and social project launched in Chicago by African-American artist Theaster Gates. Together they will bring the “Dorchester Industries Experimental Design Lab” into being, “a three-year program for emerging and established black artists”, announced the house in a press release.
“The project aims to promote creatives in the fields of fashion, interior design, industrial design, graphic design and art through awards that allow financial support and a network of connections to international organizations interested in working with diverse talents”, so the house. The first scholarship holders will be selected and announced in October.
