How can I use a limiter on pyramix ? I do not want to install an external limiter plugin how can I do that ?
Can you show it with picture?
No picture, but it should be simple enough.
You say you DO NOT want to use a third party plug-in, correct? There are several plug-ins that come with Pyramix, which are of the VS3 type. One of the VS3 plug-ins - Bus Tools - has a Limiter built into it.
To install it, simply go to your Project's Mixer, and in the Strip or Bus where you wish to install the Limiter, right-click in the "Inserts" area above the fader where the plug-ins get installed. You can find more information about how to do this in the Manual starting on page 340 (I'm referring to the Pyramix 11.1.4 User Manual).
This should bring a pop-up menu - select "VS3 Effects", and "Add" in the next sub-menu, then in the next, "Combo" and from there, select "Bus Tools". This should install the Bus Tools plug-in on the strip or bus you started from.
There are two "Combo" plugins, and the only difference between them is that the Bus Tools has a Limiter, whereas the Strip Tools has a Compressor. You can find details about both of these in the Manual, starting on page 424, with particular emphasis on the Bus Tools Limiter found on page 432.
Increasing Input Level control (at the top) will bring the signal level up relative to the Threshold level (in the Limiter section), resulting in more peak reduction. Adjusting the Threshold Level will affect the level where Gain Reduction is engaged, thereby increasing or reducing the amount of gain reduction, as more or less of the signal will exceed the Threshold level, and be Limited accordingly. Lowering the Threshold will reduce the overall Output but, this can, in turn, be compensated with the Output Gain control (at the bottom). Activating the "Make Up" button (at the bottom) links the overall signal Output Level to the Threshold level (inversely) so that any reduction in the Threshold level will have a corresponding increase in the Output.
It's pretty straight-forward, and I'd recommend that you try it out with the Generator plug-in (another of the VS3 plug-ins which comes with Pyramix, in the "Other" category) placed ahead of it, so that you can see and hear the effects of changing the Generator's output level, the Limiter's input gain, the Threshold level, and the Bus Tools' Output (with and without the "Make Up" button engaged). Another VS3 plug-in which could be useful in this investigation would be the VU Meter (in "Test and Measurement"), so that you have visual, as well as audible indications as to what's going on.
Once you have an understanding of those controls, start exploring the various controls that affect the timing of the transitions from when the Limiter is reducing gain, and when it is not. These include the Release control in the Limiter section, and all the controls in the Limiter DRC (Dynamic Release Compensation) section immediately below (which can be turned on or off, as you wish). A good test signal for hearing the effects of these controls would be something like a series of transients, like a typical pop music snare drum track, where you have short bursts of signal separated by silences. I find that the best way to explore any kind of Gain reduction device or plug-in is simply to feed it something predictable and then twist the knobs until you hear something happening. With music, sometimes the results will be great, other times, horrible. And some people's "great" is other people's "horrible". That's why there's all those knobs.

Medical regulator shuts down private COVID-19 and antibody tests in B.C.
Posted by Pamela Fayerman | Sep 25, 2020 | antibody testing, Calgary, COVID19 tests, Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver | 0
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. (CPSBC) ordered a mobile lab company doing private COVID-2019 antibody testing in homes and offices to shut down in this province.
The service – which was incredibly popular since so many people want to know if they have immunity to COVID, violated the medical regulator's rules so the private pay service has stopped in B.C. while in Alberta and Ontario, it carries on.
The Alberta company charges $80 for COVID-19 antibody tests and $120 for the PCR swabs tests that check for active virus.
"Our phone and emails have been non-stop from B.C. residents asking for testing but I am not going to defy a directive from the CPSBC until I am invited back in," said Mike Kuzmickas, president of Ichor.
The Alberta-based start-up is still offering the home or office-based service to customers in Ontario and Alberta where ndividuals and companies can request both COVID swabs and blood-based antibody tests.
"We were operating in Vancouver and Kelowna for a very short period of time but then I was contacted and sent a cease and desist from the College… and in a (subsequent) phone call, they explained to me why I was asked to leave the province:
"The only people who can perform phlebotomy in BC must be associated with an accredited BC lab; we are not.
"The only tests that can be offered in B.C. must be from accredited B.C. labs; our offerings are either from the U.S. or from Alberta.
And only B.C. physicians can requisition tests inside B.C.; our medical director is from Alberta."
The College took action against Ichor after my story about its novel services. The article is the second most popular piece I've written since starting this website at the beginning of May. That suggests there's a pent-up demand for private antibody testing since it is not available to the general population; only groups selected by government-funded researchers for studies are offered such tests.
Antibody testing shows whether individuals have had a past COVID-19 infection but weren't tested because they were either asymptomatic or couldn't access testing in the first few months of the pandemic. Having serology testing – as antibody testing is also known – can offer some clarity or peace of mind about whether individuals might have some immunity. But as experts have pointed out, antibodies may only circulate in the body for a short time – sometimes as little as weeks.
Ichor (pronounced eye-core) Blood Services charges $75 for the home or office visit plus $120 for the antibody test. The COVID-19 test is also available at $190. A requisition from a physician is required.
Kuzmickas said he believes his company is "still the only small-cap private company offering antibody testing in Alberta and Ontario (but) I know the provincial labs are starting to catch up, DynaCare in Ontario is offering it now and we will be switching over to an Alberta test here in a couple of weeks as well."
He said in Alberta, there are loads of private companies seeking testing for their employees.
"We have also secured small commercial leases in Calgary and Edmonton to set up clinical spaces for testing visitors from out of the city, or larger groups, and will be operational with these in October."

When actors frequently star in Hollywood productions that turn out to be critical bombs, most viewers and critics are willing (oft-times eager) to write them off. These actors aren't referred to as "has-beens", but their choice of roles gives the perception that they're going down that road. For an actor of Johnny Depp's range, 2013's "The Lone Ranger" and 2014's "Transcendence" were used as ammunition against him. The former, I agree with. But the latter, I actually like. After watching "Black Mass" a few days ago, I left the theater thinking that this just brought Mr. Depp back in the good graces of critics.
ABOUT: Released September 18th and directed by Scott Cooper, "Black Mass" is a biopic drama depicting the rise to power of South Boston-raised career criminal James "Whitey" Bulger. After serving multiple stints in jail, including a 10-year stretch at Alcatraz, Bulger retains his status in the Boston streets as feared criminal. Cooper uses a flashback-style narrative juxtaposed with present-day FBI interviews with Bulger's closest associates. The film begins with Kevin Weeks, portrayed by Jesse Plemons (0f "Breaking Bad" and "Friday Night Lights"), confessing to his crimes as a member of Bulger's Winter Hill Gang. The scene then swiftly cuts to the flashback portion beginning in 1975, showing his rather brutal induction into Bulger's inner circle. The voice-overs and interviews with the Winter Hill Gang's remnants include Stephen Flemmi (played by Rory Cochrane) and Johnny Martorano (played by W. Earl Brown). Along with Plemons' Weeks, they provide a picture of Whitey Bulger that isn't really done justice until Johnny Depp materializes as him on screen. Also, considering his bio is on CNN and other places, the next few paragraphs aren't necessarily spoilers.
Edgerton (right) and Depp (left).
At the time he began to fulfill his ambition, Bulger had help from the other side of the law. His childhood friend, FBI agent John Connolly (played by Joel Edgerton) reappears and seeks him out. Perhaps out of a morbid sense of tribalism since they both grew up together in the Southie projects or maybe childhood awe, Connolly offers a "business arrangement" with Bulger. Though not a shakedown, Bulger isn't initially thrilled with the idea of turning informant. However, ever the criminal opportunist, he saw the possibilities. Bulger provided the FBI with information to eliminate his criminal rivals while they basically allowed him to operate with impunity for years.His younger brother, Billy (played by Benedict Cumberbatch), is a state senator and was never involved in Whitey's activities, despite his awareness of them.
Siblings on opposite sides of the law.
As time went on, Bulger became more unhinged. He ordered the deaths of powerful businessmen and even personally committed murders against snitches in broad daylight. Though Depp is menacing as Whitey Bulger, that menace even seeps in when having breakfast with his son, Douglas and wife Lindsey (played by Dakota Johnson). In that chillingly humorous scene, he gives criminal advice, against Lindsey's wishes, to Douglas when informed that he was suspended for fighting a bully. Douglas dies after a short sudden illness which contributes to him going further over the edge. He even personally kills Flemmi's stepdaughter after she was questioned by police about the Winter Hill's activities.
Of all of his gang, only Flemmi was informed of his status as an FBI informant. He disapproved, but still remained loyal to Whitey until he wasn't. The FBI, under Charles McGuire (played by Kevin Bacon), initially reaps the benefits of having Bulger as an informant until it becomes apparent that Connolly's relationship with him becomes more than mere business. An attempt to run guns for the I.R.A. takes a disastrous turn when a member of his crew informs the authorities about the plan. When McGuire and U.S. Attorney Fred Wyshak (played by Corey Stoll) press Connolly about his and Bulger's relationship, Connolly's colleague/confidant John Morris (played by David Harbour) informs them of the nature of the relationship in exchange for immunity from prosecution. The press then revealed Whitey's informant status to the public, turning his criminal associates against him and forcing him to go on-the-run in 1995 until he was captured in 2011.
MY TAKE: The film that "Black Mass" will most certainly garner comparisons to is 2006's "The Departed". Though that film also takes place in Boston and somewhat uses Bulger and his career as source material, "Black Mass" is actually a fact-based dramatization. The film takes place mostly in the mid-1970s through the 1990s. I thought the depiction of 1970s South Boston was beautiful in its grittiness. From the street-signs to those old cars, it conveyed a sense of the city's working class underbelly. The Winter Hill Gang didn't just engage in criminal activity as a means of survival, some of them liked the rush and the power that comes with it. Depp's Bulger is no exception.
A criminal vampire who never sleeps.
Johnny Depp's presence on-screen is as magnetic and compelling as his character. He attracts and repels all at once. Sporting a heavy Boston accent and no change in clothing style throughout the decade (he always has his shades and a leather jacket), Depp exudes menace in every scene. Depp is now the same age that Bulger was during his rise in Boston and the make-up department did a good job of making him look like Bulger. With slicked-back whitish-blonde hair on a balding head, it's made clear early on in the film how Bulger got the nickname "Whitey", the extent to which he hates it (he'd have someone killed for addressing him as such) and how he prefers to be called "Jimmy". The wardrobe, the hair, the predatory pale blue eyes, and rotting teeth make Depp look like an amalgamation of Jack Nicholson, Christopher Walken, and Gary Oldman from "Bram Stoker's Dracula". A friend told me that, upon her first viewing of the trailer, she thought Bulger was being portrayed by Ray Liotta. Not to play "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon", but Liotta co-starred with Depp in 2000's "Blow", an account of another Massachusetts-born crime lord whose downfall was because of snitches in his own crew. Also, unlike Nicholson's Frank Costello from "The Departed", Depp's Bulger is controlled and with less obvious eccentricities. He also had a tendency for hiding the bodies of his victims under a bridge on the Neponset River. He loves his girlfriend and son and angrily balks at the idea of inevitably removing his son off of life support during his illness.
Depp's portrayal also shows how being Irish-American in Boston is heavily embedded in his character's identity. It's a great source of pride for him, which is partly why he helps the I.R.A. and has disdain for Irish police in the pockets of Italian gangsters. Films like 1997's "Good Will Hunting", 2003's "Mystic River", and 2010's "The Town" (to a degree) also gave us a picture of the sectarianism in South Boston's Irish-American population. The sectarianism is so strong, it's almost familial. Joel Edgerton's John Connolly exemplifies this notion as well. After an impressive turn a month ago in "The Gift", Edgerton's Connolly is a man who affirms his loyalty to his roots by telling his wife during an argument that, "YOU MARRIED A STREET KID!". True, he grew up Irish in the Boston projects, but what draws him to Bulger isn't so much about a shared common background. What Edgerton brings out is a man with an inner child who still idolizes the top thug in his neighborhood. Cumberbatch as the younger sibling in the state's top political position is an understated performance and he kind of reminds me of Robert F. Kennedy. The Boston street accents utilized by both actors (the whole cast, actually) was good and also the film did good at showing Bulger's hatred of informants despite being one himself.
Another thing I didn't like was that Cooper doesn't quite have a handle on stylized violence yet. I don't expect something over-the-top, but the manner of some of the on-screen killings became rather redundant. When not using guns, some of the characters use brute force to kill. It's unexpected and much more engaging in that it's primal. I've seen some people complain that Cooper should've given an account of what happened to Bulger between going on the run and his capture. I was fine with that lack since the previous events of the film gave proper context to how we arrived at the end.
So should you see this? If you're a fan mob movies, good acting and Johnny Depp, then yes. I don't know if it'll get any Oscar nods, but you'll most certainly agree that this is Depp's most riveting performance in a while.

Our Commitment to Healthy Animals and a Healthy Planet
We are committed to environmental responsibility and a healthier planet. One way of keeping the environment healthy means solving for waste. Environmentally friendly solutions, like freeze-dried live vaccine spheres and 100% recyclable packaging, are some of the ways we are working towards a cleaner future.
SPHEREON is a novel vaccine formulation technology for the storage and preparation of live poultry vaccines. This revolutionary technology freeze-dries live vaccines to small, highly soluble spheres that dissolve quickly and completely in water, with no residue, making it easier and less wasteful to administer. It can then be administered in the most efficient way for poultry farmers, whether it be a spray, eye drop or drinking water.
Importantly, the vaccine is packaged in 100% recyclable aluminum cups instead of traditional glass vials, making it not only more efficient for poultry farmers, but also supporting the environment with limited, recyclable packaging. The aluminum cups are easy to dispose of, by just rinsing with a chlorine solution, stacking them together and offering them for aluminum recycling.
Planting trees is another important way to restore the planet's natural resources. That's why we're continuing our Tree Planting Initiative partnership with WeForest, which has resulted in the planting of over 25,000 trees on three continents since 2016. WeForest is an international nonprofit association engaged in large-scale sustainable reforestation and reduction in plastic pollution.
With the help of poultry veterinarians and producers who use our products, we will continue to partner with WeForest in the years to come, planting even more trees.
And we're also including our own employees. Many of our offices around the world distribute tree seeds to employees to plant in their own gardens.
For more information on our partnership with WeForest please go to: https://www.weforest.org/partner/msd-animal-health.

Monroe Police launch Downtown Business Watch
Business owners and downtown organizations now have a direct link to the Monroe Police Department through a new Downtown Business Watch program.
Monroe Police launch Downtown Business Watch Business owners and downtown organizations now have a direct link to the Monroe Police Department through a new Downtown Business Watch program. Check out this story on thenewsstar.com: https://www.thenewsstar.com/story/news/crime/2019/05/01/monroe-police-launch-downtown-business-watch/3643677002/

The initiative formally kicked off Monday. Program leader Detective Chris Bates said the development of the Downtown Business Watch started after a meeting between him, Chief Eugene Ellis and Public Information Officer Reggie Brown.
"My goal was to come up with a partnership between businesses, law enforcement and other organizations that keep those businesses interests in mind," Bates said.
He said the program will enhance communication between businesses and the police department while facilitating the further sharing of information from business to business.
"When I had the opportunity to meet with several in the downtown business district and some of the business owners and businesses, one of their major complaints was the lack of one-on-one to facilitate some of their ideas," Bates said.
The program creates a liaison for direct communication. Bates shared an example of one business owner reaching out and discussing times when certain problems occur, such as panhandling.

He said this provides an opportunity for him to let patrol leaders know when officers need to circulate and be visible in the area.
"This is a long-term program," Bates said, noting that the program will extend beyond crime prevention. "We believe that with the proper success and other goals that we are going to meet, we are going to see a lot of good things come out of it."
Brown noted that communication between the businesses and police can also help police to solve more crimes. Brown said eye-witness testimony allows police to direct resources into particular areas.
"Communication is key, and that is a focal point of our business watch program," Brown said.
Business owners and Downtown Economic Development District board members present at the launch said getting the program set up has been a positive step forward.
Fred Hill, CEO of Skent N Dent, said just having a direct contact and phone number for Bates is refreshing and a very good thing for businesses.
Mayor Jamie Mayo said that the program will only work as long as the business community and government work together.
"In every effort and every program that we have in the city of Monroe, when we have that partnership you can see the success that we have," Mayo said.

Q: updating 2d pointer using openmp in c++ The problem with the code 2 is that delE can not be updated because of the presence parallel region (which is quite obvious). code 1, however, is not up to the mark and showing ambiguous results. I will be obliged if any of you can provide correct solution to run either code 1 or code 2 in parallel.
Here grad_compute is returning a 2d pointer which is needed to be stored or added for each parallel loop. norm_delE and delE are declared as 3d and 2d pointer respectively.
#pragma omp parallel for num_threads(8)

for (int k = 0; k < no_of_sources; k++)
{
    double** gnorm = grad_compute(/*parameters*/);

// code 1
/*  for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < cols; j++)
    {
        norm_delE[i][j][k] = gnorm[i][j]; } }    */

// code 2
/*  for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < cols; j++)
    { delE[i][j] += gnorm[i][j]; } }   */
}

I'll appreciate if you require further information.

A: Edit and Update:
for code1 there is no need to use gnorm and result of grad_compute directly assigned to norm_delE but dimension of norm_delE should be changed to become [no_of_sources] * [rows] * [cols].
for code2 because multiple thread ,at the same time, write to the delE array , each thread should be limited to update only some rows
so we create 2 omp for loop one for code1 and the other for code2
Also, the memory that aquired by grad_compute shoule be released by a function such as free_memory, although for memory management, use of std::vector or unique_ptr is recommended.
#pragma omp parallel  num_threads(8)
{
    //code 1
    #pragma omp for
    for (int k = 0; k < no_of_sources; k++)
    {
        norm_delEk[k] = grad_compute(/*parameters*/);
    }
    //code 2

    #pragma omp for
    for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
     {
        for (int j = 0; j < cols; j++)
        {
            for (int k = 0; k < no_of_sources; k++)
            {
                delE[i][j] += norm_delE[k][i][j];
            }
        }
    }
}
//memory that acquired should be released
free_memory(norm_delE);

A model home sits as construction vehicles work on other lots within the Toll Brothers new development in Baker Ranch in Lake Forest. Baker Ranch ranked 17th on the Top 20 list, selling 443 homes last year vs. 355 in 2014, an increase of 25 percent.
A model called, "Heritage," is one of the more luxurious offerings in the new Beacon Park neighborhood.
People made their way through the model homes at Clover and Morning Glory street, at the new Baker Ranch housing community in Lake Forest.
Model homes are dotted throughout the Beacon Park area. Irvine Co.'s homebuilding activities at Irvine Ranch in northern Irvine ranked top in the nation. This project sold 1,989 homes last year vs. 1,674 a year ago, an increase of 19 percent.
If Orange County is purportedly such a poor place to do business, how did four local master-planned communities end up on a list of the 20 fastest-selling projects in the nation?
Yes, RCLCO consultancy's annual Top 20 list for 2016 had four developments from Orange County. The entire states of Texas and Florida, both often cited as pro-business locales, had four each on the list.
FivePoint's Great Park project in Irvine was ranked No. 8 on the Top 20 list with 530 homes sold last year vs. 282 a year ago, an increase of 88 percent.
Tops in the nation was the Irvine Co.'s homebuilding activities at Irvine Ranch in northern Irvine. This project sold 1,989 homes last year vs. 1,674 a year ago, an increase of 19 percent. In 2015, Irvine Ranch was No. 2. Last year it topped runner-up The Villages in Ocala, Fla., which had been the national champ for 14 years.
Also from Orange County in the Top 20: Rancho Mission Viejo in south Orange County, ranked 14th. It sold 458 homes last year vs. 302 in 2014, an increase of 52 percent. Baker Ranch in Lake Forest ranked 17th, selling 443 homes last year vs. 355 in 2014, an increase of 25 percent.
The success of these four developments reflects economic strength and global desirability. Orange County is enjoying its strongest job-creation period since the turn of the century. Local developers, as a group, are selling new homes at the fastest pace in nine years.
This Top 20 list is a stunning example of local success.
Orange County's four honored communities sold a total of 3,420 homes last year. That's a one-year increase of 807 sales, or 31 percent. Compare that to the nation's 16 other top-selling projects combined: 10,312 homes sold last year – down 50 homes in a year.
The burst of local homebuilding helps more than house hunters and homebuilders. Orange County's construction employment, for example, has boomed: up 5,500 jobs in a year to 95,800 in November. That was the ninth-largest gain among the nation's 358 metro regions.
Optimistic Haddad is a stark contrast to many local business leaders who often complain about the county's business climate. When taking a global view of places to live, "it should be a sin to complain about Orange County," he said.
Haddad thinks many critics bring out-of-area bias to discussions of the county and the state's business climate.
One persistent challenge for the local economy has been high housing costs. Even the recent quick building pace by developers failed to make much of a dent. Why? New home prices have run one-third higher than the overall Orange County median selling price over the last five years.
Haddad is keenly aware of the affordability challenge and the tug-of-war between warring pro- and anti- growth factions. The veteran builder says it will take frank discussions among all stakeholders – industry, government and the populace – to create workable solutions.

Fec Publishing (09.06.2012 )

The London Midland and Scottish Railway Kitson 0-4-0ST was a class of 0-4-0 saddle tank steam locomotive designed for light shunting. 5 were originally designed and built by Kitson & Co. of Leeds to LMS specification in 1932 and numbered 1500–4. They were similar to other shunters built for industrial use. The manufacturer's works numbers were 5644–8. The LMS classified them 0F. These were later renumbered 7000–4 in 1935/1936. British Railways added 40000 to their numbers after nationalisation in 1948, becoming 47000–4. In 1955 BR constructed an additional five at Horwich Works, numbered 47005–9. These differed from the original batch having shorter saddle tanks with extra space given to longer coal bunkers instead.

Interview: Queen Mother Moore, Westindian Digest, September 1982
In a 1982 interview, Queen Mother Audley Moore raps on imperialism, neocolonialism, emancipation, and reparations -- and the need for Black people to get in our "right mind" to understand our domination.
Audley Moore -- better known as Queen Mother Moore -- was witness to, and participated in, many of the most important Black political struggles of the twentieth century. Born in New Iberia, Louisiana in 1898, she became a Garveyite as a teenager after hearing Marcus Garvey speak in New Orleans and moved to Harlem for the launch of the Black Star Line. Moore remained a lifelong member of the UNIA. But in the wake of Garvey's deportation and the decline in strength of the movement, she began organizing with the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and the International Labor Defense. Moore participated in their actions in support of the Scottsboro Boys, their campaigns against the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, and their fights against housing discrimination and racism. She was also a CPUSA candidate for the New York State Assembly in 1938 and for alderman in 1940. Moore was also the campaign manager for Black communist Ben Davis' successful 1943 run for the city council of New York. Moore resigned from the Communist Party in 1950 but she worked with Black communists Louise Thompson Patterson, Beulah Richardson, Shirley Graham Du Bois, and others through the short-lived radical organization Sojourners for Truth and Justice.
In the early fifties, Moore returned to Louisiana and joined the Sons and Daughters of Ethiopia, an auxiliary of the UNIA's New Orleans Division. In 1957, she helped establish the Universal Association of Ethiopian Women, a Pan-Africanist organization that advocated for prisoner's rights and engaged in anti-lynching campains. The organization also successfully fought to restore 23,000 Black and white families to the welfare rolls. With the Harriet Tubman Association, Moore organized domestic workers on wages of fifteen cents an hour wage. She fought for clemency for Black men on death row and contributed to the efforts to obtain a pardon for Lizzie Williams, A black woman sentenced to 218 years in an Alabama prison for perjury. In the late 1960s, Moore was one of the first signers of the Republic of New Africa's Independence Charter, and in the late 1970s, she helped to found the Eloise Moore College of African Studies, Vocational, and Industrial School in Parksville, New York, in memory of her late sister.
As writer and activist Broderick Dunlap has described in a recent essay on the history of the reparations movement for Hood Communist, Moore was also a critical figure in the development of Black claims for reparations from slavery. Dubbed the mother of the modern reparations movement, In 1963, Moore formed the Reparations Committee of Descendants of American Slaves and filed a claim with the US federal government seeking reparations for damages on behalf of more than 25 million African Americans. Dunlap notes that for Moore, reparations was a radical alternative to the liberal demand for "civil rights." Moore saw reparations as a vehicle for Black self-determination and the demand for reparations was both Pan-Africanist and anti-imperialist.
In September, 1982 Moore travelled to London as a guest of the Rastafari organization Tree of Life. While there, she was interviewed by members of the Pan-Afrikan Congress Movement for the journal Westindian Digest. That interview is reproduced below. Though eighty-three years of age, Moore's mind and memory are sharp while her comments on Black consciousness, imperialism, neocolonialism, emancipation, and freedom are a reminder of Moore's singular importance as an activist and intellectual. In the interview Moore stated that only when Black people were in the "right mind," would they be able to understand the "cunning of the monsters that we find ourselves dominated by," and "stake a claim on these imperialists for reparations for the damage they have done to us."
Subject to a forthcoming biography by historian Ashley D. Farmer, Moore passed away in a Brooklyn nursing home in 1997. Her last public appearance was in 1995, as one of five women invited to the stage of the Million Man March.
Queen Mother Moore: Her Life and Ideas, Westindian Digest (September 1982).
Westindian Digest: Looking back to the 1930s, do you think Black people have improved in awareness as far as our identity as one people?
Queen Mother Moore: Our national identity is one paramount issue that we have made great strides in. In the 1930s we did not have that. Garvey brought us a sense of oneness, one destiny, the idea of Africa as our Motherland, but Garvey could not give us the philosophy of the restoration of ourselves at that time. We did not take into account in those days the injury and the damage that had been done to us psychologically as a people, so during Garvey's days we were uniting as Negroes. I maintain that if we gain the world and we are still Negroes it would be to no avail.
Africa has been damaged as well as we have in the west, colonialism has left its ravages throughout the world. In Zimbabwe they fought a heroic struggle under magnificent leadership to win independence. I saw brothers and sisters, and I want to emphasize sisters, come out of the bush for the first time when I attended Prime Minister Robert Mugabe's inauguration. But my criticism is that they did not carry on a cultural struggle at the same time.
I found they all had European first names, which is a travesty. Their judges were sitting on the Supreme Court, for the first time in the century, with long white British wigs on. When we say freedom I want to know what we are really talking about. We cannot function correctly until we get our right mind.
To get our right mind, to get ourselves in a certain perspective as an African, don't we need a serious organization based on race?
That is not enough, race is not enough -- Garvey taught us race. There is something else that has to go with the restoration of our mentality and that is comprehension. We can read something and still not comprehend. Comprehension has been taken away from us.
How do you account for the fact that over 100 years have passed since our emancipation and we have not memorialized our ancestors who perished in the slave trade? We are just oblivious to the horrors and the atrocities that our people have suffered. We haven't given it a thought and we are prepared to go into the new millennium without doing it.
Our right mind would not permit us not to stake a claim on these imperialists for reparations for the damage they have done to us. I have tried for twenty years to give the brothers in the States reparations but they are prepared to go another hundred years without making these people at least acknowledge their crimes against us. Even if we never get reparations demand should be made, we can ask for no less. England, the States, Italy, Holland, Germany -- all were built on our backs, they made their money off the slave trade.
Our right mind would teach us the cunning of the monsters that we find ourselves dominated by. Let's take Garvey, he taught us that Africa was our motherland, that had been wiped away from us. All those countries that had their tentacles in Africa also had their stooges on Garvey's board. When they charged him with fraud it wasn't him! It wasn't Garvey who bought those ships who were corrupted. I know it to be a fact that they threw tools into the engines when they got out to sea. If we had our right minds we would understand how to protect ourselves. Whatever we acquire can be taken away from us if we haven't got our right mind. Nothing will flourish, organisation or otherwise, if we don't get our right mind. If we had 10 million organized with our mental condition we haven't got anything that the CIA can't destroy overnight and turn against us.
Now I tell the story of the lion to let you know how we've been denatured, dehumanized, and altered, we are no longer what we were. Just like you take the lion out of the wilderness, you condition him and tame him until this young white woman with a bikini on, long hair over one eye and a whip in her hand can confront that beast.
He comes out roaring like a lion, looking like a lion, and he may even still smell like a lion-- but he is no longer that beast because he has been tampered with, just like you. Then the white woman takes her head and sticks it in that lion's mouth and that old fool lets her pull it out. That's who you are, that mighty warrior, that builder of the pyramids, that great African who gave the world civilization; you are no longer that people, you've been altered into functional zombies who no longer know who you are.
We've got to understand that the man couldn't afford to allow us so-called emancipation unless he shackled us mentally so we no longer need a slave master to stand over us with a whip. We do it ourselves, we do his job for him and we do it better than he even could.
What do you see as the basis for organizing our people to take the chains off our minds?
Our people are not joining in and organizing because they can't. They have us conditioned to believe that we can't do anything for our own good. Now if you brought Bob Marley or some big stars they would flock to see him. Well, Bob Marley was deep but it could have been any of the ones from the USA who just have a lot of trash. With our right minds nobody will have to tell us to come together but it's like pulling hen's teeth to organize somebody who has been conditioned to destroy themself.
What do you see as the role of the Rastafarian Movement?
I have recently met with Rastas and was simply amazed because I heard the wrong derogatory things about Rastas. The highest compliment I can give to Rastas was from my grand-daughter who said, "These are the kindest people I've ever met."
The Rastas have a philosophy of returning to the motherland, but I say that you should go with your reparations. You don't need to start from scratch, you have to claim what is yours. People used to say to me "Queen Mother you going to Africa -- are you going to live in a hut? I've been in a hut for 400 years, if they have palaces I am going to live in the palace." So you have to have that attitude with home. You're not supposed to dispose of any real estate without giving account to all the heirs, so those brothers at home have to be talked to if they don't recognize our right to our inheritance.
We have been severed from our gold, diamonds, rubber plantations, tin, cobalt, and copper. That's why when I go to Africa I don't let the brothers say "Welcome, Queen Mother." I tell them all you can say to me is "welcome Back" -- you just can't say welcome because that implies that it's yours and you're being magnanimous.
I am not playing with this thing because that implies that it's yours and the greatest scientific age that the world has ever known and we've got to be able to analyze and scrutinize, we've got to have our right mind.

This interesting and remarkable painting is not by a great artist, but I still think it's a pretty cool picture. It is a depiction of a business, Gooderham & Worts Distillery, on the waterfront of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was painted in 1896 by Arthur H. Hider, not really known as a creative artist but more of a commercial illustrator. Here sailing and steam ships pass each other near the great distillery, which I believe is the gray building at center, while smokestacks of industry happily pump carbon into the atmosphere. I think this picture is more than just a commercial illustration, though it was probably intended primarily as such. It's really a glimpse of the economic and environmental history of urban Toronto at the very end of the 19th century, and as it's an eye-catching painting in its own right, I thought it would be perfect for this series.
Gooderham & Worts was a very big business in its time. It was founded in 1837, but that's a bit misleading, as the progenitors of the distillery had owned a large flour mill on this site even earlier than that. The "Worts" of Gooderham & Worts was transplanted Englishman James Worts, who committed suicide in 1834 by throwing himself into the well that supplied water for the mill. William Gooderham, the other partner, continued on with Worts's son, and after they found a use for their excess grain in 1837–by turning it into whiskey–they soon grew rich. By 1892, when the complex pictured here was constructed, Gooderham & Worts was producing half the spirits consumed in Canada. As you can see in this picture, the site had not only ship but also rail access, bringing grain in from all over the country and exporting it as booze. Unlike the United States, Canada had no Prohibition, and in fact the company grew even richer on alcohol that was illegally smuggled into the U.S. during the 1920s and early 1930s. The distillery closed in 1990, and the buildings were converted into Toronto's Distillery District, a complex of pubs, restaurants and tourist sites that preserve much of the area's Victorian character.
In the late 19th century, the belching smokestack was seen, not as an emblem of pollution, but one of progress, vitality and economic development. Thus, in its proper 1896 context, this painting is meant to communicate the robust nature of the Gooderham & Worts business, its connections to the rest of Canada and the world (by ship and train), and its prominence in the economy of Canada's biggest port. Of course today we look at a picture like this and see climate change–which was well underway by 1896–but that took a while to seep into the public consciousness.
The artist, Arthur H. Hider, was known primarily for illustrating calendars and, during World War I, military recruitment posters. He died in 1952.
I like Hider's style. Thank you for bringing him to our attention, Sean.
Seems like you accidentally wrote that Hider died in 1896 (the year the advertisement was painted). I believe that year should be 1952. Thanks for your research.
Thanks, I just corrected it. Good catch.

Sargasso is a coastal ghost town in all but name on the farthest outskirts of Prime City and on the eastern coast of the continent.
Sarr-gars-oh
Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia
Nepleslia Prime
Sargasso was founded in YE 31, shortly after the colonisation of Nepleslia Prime and the touchdown at Prime City. A prospecting party was sent out to a balmy coastal region far from Prime City and they found good mineral signs along the hilly terrain, finding good concentrations of iron in the dirt. As investigations went underway, a mining tycoon named Wayfield Investments decided to invest in the area in the hopes that it'd pay off, and a mining operation sprung up.
Wayfield made further investments and eventually started housing the working population. A form of civilian administration beyond the tycoon had to be called in to manage the other people coming in to cash in on the boom and make their fortune, as well as provide services. Agricultural endeavours were made further away from town where the terrain was less rugged and fertile, and away from the mining operations. At its peak, Sargasso and had 30,000 people working and living together.
However, the good fortune didn't last as setbacks started to come in. In YE 32 the iron veins found on the surface of the mountain didn't go as far as first anticipated by the prospectors, leading to exploratory mining efforts and finding very little. This eventually lead to the discovery of paydirt beneath the agricultural land, and the farmers protested against Wayfield, threatening to leave and by doing so, starve their workers. The Wayfield, believing that they were the rulers of the city were displeased by the dissent and went ahead. As promised, the farmers left, and with them, so did most of the commerce and a good chunk of the working population, now having to import food from beyond. The costs on the mining tycoon were starting to mount as creating new operations, abandoning old ones and having to pay for food were all adding up.
The paydirt beneath the agricultural lands was proving to be an intense hassle to obtain, as equipment failure from cutting corners and cave ins, floods and landslides mounted. Wayfield continued to try and pursue this goal; To nobody's surprise, the tycoon's mismanagement and poor judgement caused it to go bankrupt in YE 33 and for the remaining workers to revolt, leaving a decimated, salted landscape and many disillusioned workers packing up and heading back towards Prime City. This event was known as the Big Bust. Only a few handfuls of desolate souls wander the empty streets now. The desiccated corpses of Wayfield's management are strung upon lamp posts if they weren't thrown into the ocean.
As of more recently, nobody has been willing to stay in the city for too long, and the Nepleslian brand of criminal found that there was no opportunity to be had here, and avoid it. The permanent residents that remain still band together for basic needs and have the most basic semblances of an economy running amongst themselves and whoever else wisheD to stay behind.
In YE 35, the crew of the ISC Phoenix moved in to call this town their base of operations, and the locals have tolerated their presence because they've been a steady source of income and stimulation for the town. In YE 37 a boom from profits and extra faces bought in by the town being put on the map prompted a rapid expansion to house all the new demand, particularly with the creation of a shopping mall and a bacteria creation array.
In general, the few remaining people who can call themselves Sargassi are regarded as distant, alien folks even amongst Nepleslians for how hard they cling to what little they have to call home after the Big Bust. In general, the locals regard outsiders with relative indifference unless they have money to give to the town - or better yet decide to move in. After all, there's nothing worse that could possibly happen to the town with another streak of graffiti hitting the walls or a few more bullet holes alone. The tight-knight and insular nature of the 'city' has more in common with a burgeoning, overdeveloped village.
Long Runner - Someone who came during the initial project pitch. Only a handful of these people still remain as permanent population.
Miner - Someone who came for the mining opportunity and stayed for the revolt.
Drifter - Someone who came to the town and decided to stay after the Big Bust.
Returner - Someone who came back to Sargasso after the second boom.
Backy - Someone who came in with the influx to work on the Bacteria Cultivation Arrays.
To accommodate the balmy weather and semi-tropical climate, most of the housing is made to be easily ventilated and air conditioned, and elevated upon stilts or pillars to protect from the monsoon weather. The constructions are usually composed of wood, brick, concrete and metal. Things on the ground level tend to be built to drain towards the bay in the event of a flood, with grooves down the left and right sides of a room to assist with drainage.
Aesthetics wise, the spartan accommodations have lent themselves to practicality, and outer decorations are sparse, mostly consisting of fractal geometric patterns engraved onto the stone and metal. The use of glass is uncommon for facades or storefronts since it is difficult to clean after a monsoon, instead opting for open storefronts with metal roller-shutters. More recently, the looks of disrepair and graffiti have been a common sight, turning the rusting grey metal and cracked concrete into a riot of colours that hold fast against the layers of tropical grime.
With the second boom, contrasting neon lighting of pink and blue and pastel colours in the graffiti and grime have become more common.
The weather of the city is semi-tropical, with a wet and a dry season rather than the normal four seasons. Heavy floods and rain tend to come down during the wet season, flooding most of the rubbish out to sea and threatening to drown lower-lying homes.

The frontmost face of Sargasso, on the eastern shores of Nepleslia Prime and facing the vast ocean of the planet. The Dockfront District is prominent when viewed from afar with the towers dotting the landscape. It is positioned on artificially heightened ground, close to the coast.
The Neighbourhoods in this district include:
Immortian
Whitetail Hill
Boom Boulevard
Drifter's Beach
Dripton (Shared with the Operations)
Further information about the Dockfront District can be found on this article.
The housing districts and buildings financed by the mining Tycoon. They exist in the shadow of the Dockfront District. Some are out on the water on stilts, hiding behind wavebreakers to create an artificial bay. Most of the buildings are in an elevated position from their foundations to deal with the monsoon floods.
As time went on and retrofits had to be made to accommodate more people, it became common that houses were built on top of each other with families sharing the same living space. With increased population intake, the houses have started to see renovation and improvement.

The ocean east of Sargasso beyond the wavebreakers is a whole lot of water, and bacteria, and swimming to be done. It isn't recommended to swim in the ocean for too long, as it is somewhat polluted and full of bacteria. The fishing isn't so great either, most of the fish have a few extra fins or eyes, or taste like heavy metal.
The wavebreakers themselves serve as a hydroelectric, wave-power solution, using the turbulent ocean currents to generate power. So long as the ocean keeps moving, Sargasso does not run out of power. If the ocean stops somehow, then there's trouble.
Inland, a large, sludgy river runs parallel to Sargasso's highways behind Sargasso's highest point1) and the sprawling subtropical forest, sometimes marshy underfoot. Nature, game, and motorbike/buggy trails have been established through the forest and around the mountain. Sargasso's longest zipline from the top of the mountain, roughly four kilometres in length, can be accessed here for the ride of your life.

Mass Transit and transportation in Sargasso is limited. There are no space ports due to the small size of the town, or much in the way of air travel since infrastructure has been in a state of relative disrepair. If one wants to get to Sargasso for whatever reason possesses them, they must head in via Prime City's spaceport or airport and take a taxi there, or catch one of the distinct Sargasso Shuttles during a supply run at Prime City.
Originally the territory of the Ferros towers, their influence started to spread to other parts of Sargasso that were further up for transporting goods, and occasionally, people. The 22nd floor of Ferros Towers has a variety of outbound ziplines to other buildings and districts while the 6th floor is meant for inbound traffic. The use of this system to transport people came into effect when floods made transport by land impractical, in particular for quick medical or repair aid.
A handful of soft-toppped, open cabined buses that drive around town for few particular reasons. Their usual goal is to simply transport things to, from and around Sargasso, but they usually have enough spare room to take a passenger or two. If one feels adventurous and there's no room in the shuttle, they can hang onto the sides.
During floods, the Sargasso Shuttle system shuts down and the buses retreat to higher ground; staying in elevated storage to weather out the flood and receive maintenance and repairs.
The rail system that was used for transporting ore and supplies to and from the Operations are rusted and bent out of shape without maintenance. It serves as another sad reminder to Wayfield's negligence and poor planning. Fortunately, the trains themselves were removed and sold, so the rails are free of traffic.
Some ideas to get a public transport system going using the rail stock have been floated, with the addition of a light rail station being a welcome idea to provide easier transportation of goods, services, and people to and from Sargasso to the rest of the world.
The Long Road is a large stretch of open road that was developed for the purposes of expansion in YE32, but as setbacks came in, nothing was developed around it - leaving it open in the barren wastes. The Sargassi decided to turn it into a makeshift airport by erecting a control tower, since the road was long enough to accept light or ultralight aircraft. Unlike the other roads that are further outside of the city, this one receives maintenance in the hopes that a second wind will come for the city.
A spaceport a stone's throw away from Drifter's Beach connected to a busy main road, capable of accepting ships either floating in the bay like boats, or within the structure itself from hangars on the exterior. Most of Sargasso's exports come and go through this spaceport. Also, there is a The Pangalactic Chophouse of Waffles (Pan-CHOW) near the entrance for the hungry traveler. This one is markedly nicer than the one across town.
Cargo drones are frequently seen fluttering around, moving items around Sargasso into space and into ships now. This has provided further employment and opportunities for the drone operators and maintenance people.
Sargasso's communication and infrastructure is decidedly sporadic. The fastest possible web connectivity speeds are about 25 megabytes a second during peak hour, and 50 mb/s off peak. For websites hosted within town, the connection is much quicker. For interplanetary communications, a satellite made of improvised parts handles it, and the connection speed drops to 10mb/s, which is unacceptable for most heavy duty communications.
With improvements to Sargasso's employment makeup and workforce, the connection speeds within Sargasso have improved with some much-needed updates to the Infrastructure, raising the connection speeds during peak hour to 200 megabytes a second, with up to 500 mb/s off peak. For websites hosted outside town, their content is downloaded at 50 mb/s. A noticeable improvement from before.
David Takeyama, a group of technicians and operators dispatched from Origin Industries, a small handful of interns, and one or two freespacers are responsible for maintaining communications infrastructure at the moment.
On the 130.33Mhz short-wave frequency at 6:00 PM every day, the Sargasso Community Radio station comes alive and makes a quick bulletin of the day's events in no particular order in addition to a topic of the host's choosing. The merchants of Commercial Lane take turns hosting the radio briefing for that evening.
Everyone's bulletins tend to focus on different events or different things the broadcast, and due to a lack of professional skills or scheduling, each host's conduct on air is decidedly loose. The broadcasts usually go for half an hour to forty five minutes, depending on the broadcaster. Music is occasionally played too.

It has been noted that with more notoriety of the station, the station now broadcasts digitally and on the FM band. People have suggested that the town radio begins to expand its hours, but a dedicated radio jock currently eludes Sargasso, and the Proprietors do not have the chops, newsworthy content and stamina to speak all day.
A series of landline pay phones scattered across town are available. The phones are callable to each other provided that the dialling number is correct. The calling code is engraved onto the telephone, and to call another phone, press the hash key followed by a three digit number.
Due to the age and kludginess of the connection system, crossed wires occasionally turn up. Phones occasionally ring for no reason and when answered, transmit odd information such as streams of numbers said by a robotic voice, slowscan television signals, or garbled voices alleged by the children to be from a different dimension.
Despite their current state, their unique quirks have been preserved, and the Phones were not updated with the rest of the city's infrastructure.
As Luca and company have moved in, more money has begun to move into the town and with it the people of Sargasso and the Mayors are becoming a little more adventurous with their savings. They have no idea what they'll give back if they receive third party investment and they are wary of having too much outside interference…
Better Telecommunications Infrastructure.

If you live for your appetites, they will eventually consume you.
We wanted to start this article with a quote from this month's Eco Celebrity, Ocean because it expresses what we'd like to convery in this vehicle to help addicts heal.
Fix should be a positive word, meaning to heal, to make right again.
We;re all, if we are honest, addicted to something.
or to adhere to a set of standards, are a part of our primal nature as primates.
line or to re-enact some self-defeating behaviour.
Denial is the mode of thought that shovels the dirt over them.
The suspension of good sense is their stock-in-trade.
Addictions lead, too often, to the bone-yard.
A serious subject, I'm not going to make light of it.
To face your own facts of life is the first step.
restaurant is the first step.
Not all addictions are to illegal substances.

Add alcohol to driving, and you have millions more dead.
Why are we not going after alcohol?
dissect the reason why logic is not applied here.

If you want your liver to take you out at forty, then be our guest.
If you're drinking, then you're on your way out.
of your decisions in life.
day, the ones who love you the most and are the ones most hurt by your actions.
like taking care of yourself - honoring your body as the temple it is.
Like feeling something for the o nes around you who are most dependent o n you.
Like stopping the things that are numbing you out.
Like letting yourself feel again. LIving without the capacity to feel is not living at all.
If to feel again is to face fears, angers, and unexpresseed anxiety, to relive old wars against original family members, then so be it. Get help for it. Help exists all around you. A.A. is an excellent place to start.
And now for the carrion-eaters. Like vultures, many - I shudder to think that it might in fact be most - eat rotting, dead bodies every day of their lives! Ughhhh!
Not o nly is it nauseating to eat corpses, but to have them murdered too?
That makes the murder rest o n your soul the way the dead body rests in your stomach, in a poisonous way.
Flesh-eating is addictive. Yes. The adrenalin of the poor, terrified, helpless being, the fellow mammal who feels as you do, who thinks as you do, who bears young and loves as you do and who has had his life stolen from him in order to make your own body die young and suffer miseries was so terrified when he or she ws being pushed into a death room while hearing the screams of his family and friends and smelling and seeing the blood flying and the horrifyingly monstrous cruel men who work in those places killing them - yes - those terrified animals, fellow animals, kin to you and to me, felt such terror that adrenalin filled their bodies, and that adrenalin stayed in the meat and the meat you'd eaten had given you the drug-like substance, adrenalin, that keeps many addicted to this disgusting habit of eating meat.
First is the recognition of the addiction, so understand now that you were not born to eat meat, that flesh-eating is barbaric, vile, and horrendous to your body, soul, and mind, and cruel beyond anything man does to man.
Then, find better ways to eat.
Give your body - and theirs - a break. Go Vegan.

And drink water. And exercise. And meditate. Visit Yoga Mermaid and Spirit fix.

Summer Lawn Care Tips to Keep Your Grass Green - Keepin' It Green Inc.
Much of the country has been in the mid of a heat wave this summer. One of the many side effects can be watching your lush, green lawn turn into a rough brown carpet of seemingly dead grass. In some cases, your lawn may be dormant and it's too late to bring it back to its old vibrant self. Or, it may just be showings signs of stress due to the heat, and you can help revive it.
When your lawn starts to turn brown you need to act quickly. First, you have to make a decision about your priorities – do you want a green lawn, or a green (natural, organic) lawn?
If your primary concern is for the environment, letting your lawn go dormant may be the best decision. Keeping a lawn green through the entire summer, especially in areas with intense heat, requires a lot of watering. If that water is not coming from the sky, it means you will have to irrigate a lot.
Dormancy is not a bad thing, it's your lawn's way of conserving energy until the growth cycle can sustain under conditions that stress the grass plants less. It does not mean the grass is dead, it's just brown. But remember, once it goes completely brown, watering will not help make it green, it might even stress the plants more and contribute to disease. You just have to wait it out.
If you choose to keep your lawn green year-round, irrigation has to start well before the lawn starts to turn brown – really, your last-ditch efforts to reverse the dormancy process simply will not work. Lawns typically need about one inch of water per week, and as always, it's better to water deeply every 7-10 days, rather than frequent light watering.
Watering early in the day is also recommended so that the water has a chance to be absorbed before heat will burn it off. It also reduces the chances of disease and fungus as the lawn will be mostly dry by nighttime.
Adjusting your mowing height to about three inches or higher will also help protect your lawn from summer heat damage. The roots will be allowed to grow deeper, water will be retained better, and your soil is less likely to dry out. You may have to mow more frequently to keep your lawn at a desirable height, but it's worth it if you want to keep that grass green! On the plus side, grass tend to grow slower in high heat (so it can conserve energy), so it balances out a little.
If you are fertilizing in the summer, use a fertilizer with a fairly low nitrogen content (like a liquid fertilizer with a 10-8-8 NPK ratio) that will not burn the plants. Liquid fertilizers are best because they are absorbed by the plant roots and do not sit on top of the grass.
If your lawn starts to get less green, either from heat stress or from being bleached by the sun, use a non-staining liquid iron product to green it up. The iron will go straight to the grass roots and turn the foliage green. This works on all green plants, by the way, not just grass, so you can give your bushes and shrubs a boost too!
Whatever you decide, enjoy the summer and stay safe in this heat!

Expanding the Circle is a project undertaken by Disability Rights Promotion International (DRPI) that focuses on expanding the conversation about what access to human rights looks like for Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people with disabilities in Canada. DRPI has engaged indigenous peoples in many of its projects including New Zealand and Bolivia. It is important that the Canadian indigenous experience be added to this search for knowledge where the rights of people have been neglected. Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people experience disproportionately high levels of disability compared to other Canadians. Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people with disabilities historically, and at present, experience exclusion and various forms of discrimination. This discrimination may take place at the level of individual interactions, but people may also experience discrimination at a higher, systemic level, by their needs not properly being addressed in laws, policies and budgets. This project uses an intersectional point of view, to understand the experiences of people with disabilities who are also Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis and considers the unique challenges and victories this population experiences in accessing rights.
Expanding the Circle considers the rights outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), in conversation with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP). International human rights legislation not only focuses on specific rights, but also highlights five general human rights principles. These key principles: dignity; autonomy; participation, inclusion and accessibility; non-discrimination and equity; and respect for difference were considered in relation to areas of people's lives: social participation; health; education, work and privacy and family life, information & communications; access to justice; and income security and support services.
This report combines two aspects of this project, first-hand experience through interviews, as well as an analysis that is based on a review of laws, policies, programmes and budgets to have a larger context to understand people's lived experiences. This project uses a Canadian framework, but focuses in communities in Ontario. Expanding the Circle worked with community partners in Toronto, Grand Council Treaty #3, and Historic Saugeen Métis to conduct interviews with 15 individuals to consider how Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people with disabilities are experiencing their rights.
Participants in interviews spoke most often about areas of their lives that included social participation, family life, health, education and work. This report also looks at how people spoke about intersectionality and positive experiences. Other themes such as information and communications and access to justice were less commonly brought up during the interviews.
Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people with disabilities have the same rights as other Canadians, in relation to things like access to healthcare and education. This is supported through international, national, and provincial legislation. However, what this means in theory and practice differs. Location between urban and rural Ontario as well as reserve or off-reserve and social networks shape the ability to access rights. Overall, funding and attitudinal barriers such as racism and ableism were significant obstacles for accessing rights. Another barrier was the lack of accountability on the part of the various governments regarding who was to provide a specific service. People stressed the lengthy, convoluted advocacy work that was often needed to access rights afforded to other people in Canada.
In the interviews, people also addressed positive experiences, and highlighted the most satisfying aspects of their life. Family and community networks were acknowledged as a way of assisting people with disabilities in addressing their disability related needs. The interviews and the systemic research highlighted the multiple layers of barriers that people who are Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis experience at the personal level, and at all levels of the government when trying to access rights. There was somewhat of a divide between the systemic research, which provides an overall context to understand rights, and what people in the interviews were passionate to speak about. Primarily, people wanted to be able to access services, and they wanted to feel like they were being treated with dignity and respect during this process.
The following list of recommendations was developed with the aim of improving the lives and hearing the voices of Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people with disabilities in Canada, regardless of whether they are a "status" or "non-status" Indian. These recommendations are intended to impact the ability of all people with disabilities to access their rights. Based on the research, interviews, monitors, and community leaders, the following is a list of recommendations that emerged from the project:
1. Ensure adequate funding regardless of geographic location.
2. Improve access in all sectors: Improve the ability to access resources and improve transparency in the system so people understand what resources are available and how to attain them.
3. Work with and engage communities to understand the specific needs of each particular community and provide them with tangible aid.
4. Provide inclusive education about Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people, and people with disabilities.
5. Empower and consult Natural Helpers who are individuals within the Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis communities, who provide advice, emotional support, and tangible aid.
6. Address poverty for Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Metis people with disabilities.
7. Ensure greater access and funding for healthcare and overall culturally appropriate care.
8. Facilitate community research, undertaken by Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis communities to understand community disability needs.
9. Implement, deliver, and support Indigenous home care services.
10. Support grassroots organizations that help to understand specific needs.
11. Address attitudinal barriers toward Indigenous People and People with disabilities.
12. Promote access to culture for Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people with disabilities.
13. Provide access to information about human rights and resources.
14. Change needs to occur from the bottom and the top: Structural changes can occur with policy makers and government bodies, but changes should be done in direct consultation with the stakeholders, elders, knowledge keepers, healers and the community.
15. Consider a national legislation that includes specific recognition of Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people with disabilities.
16. Monitor human rights to be done by and for Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people with disabilities.
17. Ensure that all laws and policies that focus on advancing the rights of Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people are also inclusive of people with disabilities.

WhatsApp to Limit Message Forwarding After Rumor-Led Violence in India
Messaging service's restrictions seek to slow the flow of misinformation
WhatsApp's restrictions followed a new policy at Facebook, which said Wednesday it will begin removing misinformation that could spark violence.

NEW DELHI—Facebook Inc.'s WhatsApp messaging service is making it harder for users world-wide to forward content, after the spread of rumors on the app led to mob violence and the killing of more than 20 people in India.
False messages about roaming child-kidnapping gangs spread through WhatsApp—one of the most widely used apps in India with over 200 million monthly active users—have triggered a spate of lynching as panicked groups attack strangers they find suspicious, Indian authorities have said.
WhatsApp's announcement Thursday came a day after Facebook under a new policy said it would begin removing misinformation that could spark violence. The initiative will start in Sri Lanka and Myanmar, which have also struggled with violence fueled by false reports spread on social media.

Think American Elections Are Bad? Indian Voters Get 1,000 Texts a Day (May 15)
The Indian government earlier this month asked WhatsApp to take immediate action to stop the misuse of its platform, saying rumors circulated on the messaging service had led to deadly attacks.
The Menlo Park, Calif.-based company said in a blog post that it is putting restrictions on the number of groups to which a message can be forwarded.
"Today, we're launching a test to limit forwarding that will apply to everyone using WhatsApp," the WhatsApp blog said. "In India—where people forward more messages, photos, and videos than any other country in the world—we'll also test a lower limit of 5 chats at once."
For WhatsApp users outside India, the limit on forwarding will be 20. This is the first time that WhatsApp has put restrictions on forwarding on its platform in India and globally.
In effect, one user will now be able to forward something to only five or 20 chats—both individual and group—at a time on WhatsApp.
The company also said it was removing what it called the "quick forward" button in India, which comes up on the side of media content on the app. This means users will have to go through more steps if they want to forward information.
In India, WhatsApp has published advertisements in major newspapers with tips for its users to help them decide "if something sent to you on WhatsApp is true." It also started labeling forwarded messages on its platform to help users determine if their "friend or relative wrote the message they sent or if it originally came from someone else," the company wrote in a separate blog post earlier in the month.
The steps taken so far by WhatsApp apparently haven't assuaged the Indian government, which said in a statement late Thursday that "much more needs to be done."
"When rumors and fake news get propagated by mischief mongers, the medium used for such propagation cannot evade responsibility and accountability," India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology said. "If they remain mute spectators they are liable to be treated as abettors and thereafter face consequent legal action," it added.
The ministry said it had asked WhatsApp to "come out with more effective solutions that can bring in accountability and facilitate enforcement of law."
A WhatsApp spokesman said Friday that the company was horrified by the recent acts of violence in India. Tackling such challenges posed by misinformation would "need action by government, civil society and technology companies," he said.
