History of Qinghai (青海) Province / East Tibet (3) Qing Dynasty
Qinghai Province of China
The 5Th Dalai Lama - a man now recognized as the third great person in Tibetan History after King Songtsan Gamp and Tsongkhapa founder and ruler of the Yellow Hat Sect - had payed a court visit to Beijing under the 1st True Qing Emperor Shunzi (1652 AD) .The 5Th Dalai Lama stayed at Court in Beijing for two Months, teaching in Tibetan-Buddhism and Establishing close and warm Relations with the Manchu Qing, who were themselves followers of Tibetan Buddhism.
As a sign of the Manchu Qing overtures towards the Tibetans and sovreignty claims on Tibetan Territories, The Tibetans were officially listed as among the Five Main Ethnic Minorities of the Manchurian Empire of which China had already become a subordinary territory of.
The Tibetans on the other hand had little jearning to join this fate. Their country was a vital trading partner as well as a strategic region in the then Western Territories of China and Borders. To illustrate the great importance of the visit of the Tibetan Lama King over for instance the European visits, in advance of the arrival of the Dalai Lama in Beijing, a gigantic White Marble Dagoba was constructed within the Imperial Pleasure Park of Beihai, in clear sight of the Entire City and Imperial Palace Grounds. It still stands Today as a lasting Monument to the eventful visit and is well worth visiting as one of the most beautiful and scenic parts of that city today.
Again as stipulated by the Government of the Peoples Republic of China in the Section 'Tibet as an inseparable part of China' part of the document 'Tibet - The 'Roof of the World' , from the series China - Facts & Figures ; ISBN: 7-119-01259-2 / Z502 and Published by Beijing Foreign Language Press (BFL) in 1990 AD, Beijing :
Qinghai and Tibet during the Qing Dynasty (1644 AD - 1911 AD) :
Continuing from the Chinese Government Document 'Tibet as an inseparable part of China' states : "In the middle of the seventeenth century, the Qing Dynasty (1644 AD - 1911 AD) replaced the Ming Dynasty and strengthened the administration of Tibet. Emperors Shunzi and Kangxi (Reign: 1661 AD - 1722 AD) conferred in 1653 AD and 1713 AD the titles Dalai Lama and Bainqen Erdini (Panchen Lama) of the Gelugpa sect on the two Living Buddha's."
Near the end of the Qing Dynasty Era the government was no longer able to look after many of the needs in the nation. Foreign indemnities and corruption had bankrupted the nation, plagues and natural disasters, especially large flooding's of the Yellow River only added to the misery. As a result various revolts ravaged the nation. During the 19th Century no less than five wars and campaigns were waged against the Muslim Minorities in the West.
A first uprising in and around Lanzhou in current day Gansu Province and in the Tarim River Basin in 'Xinjiang' lasted no less than 8 years before it was quelled (1820 AD-1828 AD). Later there were multiple Muslim rebellions between 1855 AD and 1873 AD in Yunnan, Gansu and Shaanxi Province.
One of these revolts was a rising of the Islamic Hui in Gansu Province and neighboring Ningxia Region known as the Dungang Revolt (1864 AD – 1875 AD). Due to the fact that the rebels took Lanzhou the City as their main stronghold, the City was badly damaged in the uprising when Qing Armies descended on City and regions for what can today best be described as a campaign of Ethnic Clensing. The Rebel armies were decimated and those that didn't die scrambled out of the city heading West with Manchu Armies in pursuit.
As a result of the complete collapse of Chinese Society during the colonial infringement on China itself the remote and un-connected western regions were left in a situation where they were left to fend for themselves. Without railroads, roads or navigable rivers the regions Ningxia, Gansu, Tibet and Xinjiang especially had been started to be regarded as satellite 'states' of the Chinese heartlands, any many Colonial Nations (Russia, Japan, Britain, Germany, USA) were increasingly interested in expanding their influence in the Regions. In accordance with these ambitions many exploratory missions to The West were made by various renowned travelers and discoverers. Among them were well-known Men such as Sven Hedin, Aurel Stein, various Russian Parties, Britons and the lone German Heinrich Harrer. Notably, the Russian explorer Gombojab Tsybikov was the first person to make photographs in and around Lhasa, residing in that City during in 1900 and 1901 AD. He did so with the aid of the thirteenth Dalai Lama's Russian courtier Agvan Dorjiyev.
Meanwhile both local leaderships, Hui, Tibetan and Uyghur prepared for moves to emancipate themselves and their peoples.

"From then on the positions of Dalai and Bainqen were confirmed by the Central Regime (I.e. the Chinese Emperor confirmed the Titles much after the choices had been made in Tibet autonomously)".
By the Time of the Qianlong Emperor (Reign 1735 - 1796 AD) of the Qing Dynasty (1644 AD - 1911 AD) the Shanxi Merchants and their various monopolies had made Shanxi Province the wealthiest province of the prospering nation, together owning far more cash money in silver teals than there were contained within the Imperial Coffers. The Emperor was almost a beggar in comparison and thus the Bankers held much sway behind the scenes. To give an idea of their importance; Shanxi Businessmen controlled trading as far as Dunhuang in far Western Gansu Province, and organized Camel Caravans to reach further along the Silk Road to Xinjiang and well into area's now part of the Capital of the Republic of Mongolia. In the wake of their trade Chinese Han Culture, new technologies and Shanxi's Financial Influence followed. Thus, the knowledge and influence of the Shanxi Bankers was of great significance to the young and aspiring Emperor Qianlong.
As described in the history of the Qing Dynasty, under the Reign of the Qianlong Emperor, regions beforehand 'reconnoitered' by the Shanxi Bankers were than absorbed into a new and larger Qing Empire through the means of military conquest.
First up were the remaining Mongol Tribes of current day Mongolia, who were quickly subdued adding Inner-Mongolia and the current day Socialist Republic of Mongolia to the List of Chinese Tributary States.
In their conquest the Manchu Troops established the current day borders of western Mongolia, while constructing their military strongholds at Khovd and Ölgii underneat the foothilss of the Altai Mountains.
Next up in the military expansion of the Manchu and their Chinese minions came the planned conquest of the remaining Territories of today's Xinjiang-Uygur Autonomous Region in the West. Following a pattern that had been followed by earlier claimants to the Chinese Throne and the "Mandate of Heaven" such as the brutal first Emperor Qin and his sucessors, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the Manchu Emperors prodded on by their Chinese Advisors and Bankers began to absorb more of the territories of surrounding Nations and Peoples.
In another wave of conquest led by the Qianlong Emperor himself the regions today known by their Qing Dynasty name of "Xinjiang" were added to the Manchu Empire as the Western "Protectorate" which for the time being fell directly under the Qing Dynasty Military Rule not the usual civilian apparatus. This completed a strategic Plan to regain the Empire roughly along the Lines of the ancient Han and Tang Dynasty conquest but also isolated the peoples of Tibet from their traditional allies among the other nomadic tribes more to the north.
Thus, although enormous in ambition and a great success, the taking of Mongolia and Xinjiang however, did not see this Great Strategic Conquest entirely completed. The enormous regions of the nation of Tibet were yet additional border regions where Manchu-Chinese Influence was established through proxies. In addition to being a traditional source of salt, tea and other coveted trading goods, the Tibetan were also crucial where the strategic resources of Grass were found in abundance and the raising of horses was a speciality of the nomadic people not of the lowland farmers.
Not in the last place, with the latest expansions of the Qing Empire the Chinese borders were long and extensive, spanning around Tibet through the 1200 kilometer Hexi Corridor and counting roughly another 2000 kilometers across the Taklamakan Desert to Kashgar. With the Regions North of Xinjiang (or also known as East Turkestan by then) under growing influence of the Russian Tzars, the Chinese might wish to have more control over the South, meaning Tibet. In a strictly military sense the Tibetan Plateaux was the local high-ground that dominated over all the western territories recently gained by the Qing Armies. Although the Tibetans were poor, and currently at peace, they were tough fighters who had done serious damage to Chinese and other Armies in the Past. There was a famous instance during the Tang Dynasty Era (618 AD - 907 AD) that was not yet forgotten.
As described in some more detail below: during the 18Th Centry, Manchu Emperors sent their troops into Tibet no less than four times. Although each consecutive time the Manchu were unable to uphold any lengthy occupation, upon their withdrawal they did install nominal "agents" known as Amban. In effect this copied a failed strategy followed by the earlier claimants to the "Heavenly Mandate" of China, the Mongolians, who also had appointed Mongolian administrators to keep watch on the Tibetans, levy taxes and the like. The new Manchu agents were dubbed the "Amban", and much alike their predecessors they were a nuisance to the Tibetans in general, however due to their small number and high dependence on Tibetan support, they were quickly enveloped and largely pacified. Nevertheless, they would remain present for the next 150 years before finally melting away with their Dynasty.
As the document by the Government of the Peoples Republic of China in the Section 'Tibet as an inseparable part of China' part of the document 'Tibet - The 'Roof of the World' , from the series China - Facts & Figures ; ISBN: 7-119-01259-2 / Z502 and Published by Beijing Foreign Language Press (BFL) in 1990 AD, Beijing has it : "In 1728 AD, the Qing Regime sent an Imperial Commissioner to be stationed in Tibet, and in 1751 AD the Tibetan local Government was established".
Especially the claim of the establishment of a local Government is ludicrous. Although Tibet remained in a sense a fragmented state, divided in loyalties between the various powerful Monasteries and their locations, there is no doubt that even as early a during the preceeding Mongolian Yuan Dynasty (1271 AD - 1368 AD), which also "ruled" Tibet, a centralized Government had existed already in what was known as the Capital City of Lhasa. (In fact; the first Central Government was established there by Tsongkhapa (life: (1357 AD - 1419 AD)) who began construction of the Potala Palace in Lhasa in the early 15Th Century thus reinforcing the claim of the City as Capital. Today even wikipedia wrongfully claims that the construction of the Potala Palace started in the 17Th Century under the guidance of Lozang Gyatso, the Great Fifth Dalai Lama, a time which however merely represents a second period of construction and considerable enlargement).
What is true os that in the year 1751 AD the Lamaist Kingdom of Tibet, threatened by China and other neighbors, relinquished ultimate Sovreignty to the Manchu Qing Empire, favoring China over encroaching others. Although Kings within their own Territory, the Lama's would henceforth receive their Recognition of their Titles as Religious Kings from the Chinese Emperor. Chinese administrators were sent into Qinghai (kokonor), Amdo and the capital of Tibet at Lhasa to collect (seasonal) taxes. Again however, the remoter their station, the more reliant they had to be on local Tibetans, their help and support. In effect therefor, the Manchu control over Tibet was doubtful and depended on the location and distance to the Chinese, now also Manchu homeland.
As the central Chinese Government and the Chinese Communist Party further claim in their 1990 published document is; "In 1793 AD, the Imperially Approved Regulations concerning Tibetan Affairs were issued. It stipulated that the Imperial Commissioner stationed in Tibet conduct Tibetan affairs together with Dalai (Lama) and Bainqen (Lama). Regulations concerning Government officials, the military, the administration of Justice, defense, public finance and so were also stipulated in explicit terms.
In the 1720's and 1790's the Qing Government used military force twice in Tibet. The first time it put down the rebellion of the Junggar Tribesmen from Mongolia and the second time it counter-attacked the incursion by the Ghurka's (red: entering from the rivalling Kingdom of Nepal) winning complete victory in both operations".
1904 BRITISH INVASION OF TIBET: YONGHUSBAND EXPEDITION:
The text then moves on to claim that:
"In 1888 AD and 1904 AD Britain sent troops directly to invade Tibet which the Tibetan People fought firmly against with their primitive weapons. Unfortunatly the struggle failed because of the corrupt Qing Government, although Tibet did not become a colony of the Imperialists."
The British 'expedition' into Tibet during 1903 AD and 1904 AD was an invasion of Tibet by British Indian forces (Ghurka's), as (western) historians generally see it, seeking to prevent the Russian Empire from interfering in Tibetan affairs and thus gaining a base in one of the buffer states surrounding British India, by reasoning similar to that which had led British forces into Afghanistan some twenty years before. Rumors had it that Tibet would be 'given' by the Qing Government to 'The Russians', one of the Imperialist Nations successfully encroaching on a mortally weakened China and competing with Britain in Central Asia, Tibet, Xinjiang, Mongolia and China.
Although not clearly defined as such by the British side at the time, the Manchu and Chinese within read it as an attempt to pry Tibet away from the dwindling influence of the Central Chinese Government formed by the Empress-Dowager Cixi and her (now despised) Clique of the terminal Qing Dynasty.

Afterwards, while in Tibet the Dalai Lama began reorganizing his Tibetan government and both Guanxu and Cixi died, the Qing Dynasty now on its last legs, organized a military expedition which was sent into Tibet during the short summer of 1910 AD. Taken aback by the openly hostile actions the 13Th Dalai Lama once again left Tibet, this time fleeing to safety within Darjeeling in North-India and so again avoiding capture by the Qing Troops. In India the Dalai Lama was warmly welcomed by the British, with whom he established further friendly contacts.
In the next year, 1911, the Qing Dynasty was overthrown in the Xinhai Revolution forever sweeping Feudal Dynasties out of power in China. Corresponding with the demise of the Manchu Qing, Chinese officials (working for the fallen Manchu Government and no doubt to be handed down to the new Republican Government) were expelled from Tibetan Lands and by the end of 1912 AD the last Qing troops were escorted out of Tibet. Finally having gotten rid of a direct Chinese threat to his person and title, the 13Th Dalai Lama Thubten Gyatso returned to Lhasa in January of 1913 AD.
Although the Government of The (1st) Republic of China offered Chinese apologies for the Qing Dynasty military invasion, they once more insisted on the Dalai Lama's cooperation with the Chinese Government and so renewed vague Chinese claims to Tibet. Already having asserted de facto independence years earlier, the 13Th Dalai Lama declined, instead officially and publicly declaring Tibetan Independence shortly thereafter.

Map History - Schematic Asia - Russia China Britain Great Game 1900 AD
A Schematic Map of Historical East Asia at around the year 1900 AD and the turn into the 20Th Century.
Although the Manchu ruled Qing Dynasty Empire had previously conquered large parts of East Asia, including much of Korea, parts of current day Siberia, most of Mongolia, East Turkestan, Kyrgyz, Kazakh's and other tribal lands while subjecting Tibet to a subjugate role nominally ruled for its taxes but yet remote and inaccessible behind its mountainous walls, at the turn of the 20th Century the outer regions of the Qing Empire have been eroded away, much of the north and west increasingly under Russian control while in the south and along the coast Britons and others had fought their way into the Chinese Realm. Notably, Korea has been annexed by Japan and Tibet is shown as a de facto independent territory. Tibet will be invaded by Britain in 1904 AD and will declare Independence not long there after at the fall of the Manchu Dynasty and the end of Manchu rule over China but also Mongolia and Manchuria in 1911 AD. Other groups such as Mongolians, Kazakhe and Kyrgyz will likewise attempt to reestablish their National independence after the fall of the Manchu Empire.
During the British Invasion of Tibet, which is also known as the 'Younghusband Expedition' several unusual events occurred which (ethnic) Tibetan historians believe to prove that Tibet was independent of China. The Tibetan Independence case makers also asserts that the British made a good impression on the Tibetans by giving medical treatment to wounded Tibetan prisoners and giving them gifts before freeing them, and by paying local inhabitants well for supplies so that there was no true malignant intend behind the incursion(s).
On the other hand, the British expedition turned into a bloodbath, massacring Tibetans twice before reaching Lhasa.
Whatever the true circumstances, the British Incursions into Tibet had one important if not crucial lasting effect, that is, even though the relatively small British Army could not and did not establish British Colonial Rule over Tibet, in the process the attention of those in Government in China was completely refocused, under-pinning the importance of Tibet for China. Ever since, a process of re-assertion of historic influences in Tibet has taken place. And much more than that.
As for the 'Younghusband Expedition' ; today - in a deliberate attempt to alter history in favour of their own perceived National interests- current day Chinese historians tell of Tibetans opposing the British heroically out of loyalty not to Tibet, but to China (naturally this cannot be because at the time China was part of Manchurian Territory. If there was any loyalty there it would have been to Manchuria and the Manchurian Throne). They assert that the British troops looted and burned, and more im[portantly that the British interest in trade relations was a pretext for annexing Tibet, a step toward the ultimate goal of annexing all of China (Red: again a deliberate twisting of historic fact; The Manchu Qing Empire was far more than China alone (as shown above) and was by no means ruled by Han Chinese thus the term Chinese is misleading); but that the Tibetans destroyed the British forces, and that Younghusband escaped
only with a small retinue. In reality the Tibetans stood little chance against the industrial age military might of the British Army and were overrun.
The Chinese government has turned Gyantze Dzong near Gyantse in the (so called) "Tibet Autonomous Region" (which has no autonomy whatsoever and is ruled directly from Beijing with an iron fist), into an "Anti-British Museum" promoting these views, as well as other themes such as the brutal life endured by 'Tibetan serfs' who fiercely loved their 'Chinese mother country' (The tibetans did love their mother country but its was not named China as far as they were concerned).

What is completely ignored by the seemingly deliberately false document 'Tibet - The 'Roof of the World', section 'Tibet as an inseparable part of China', from the series China - Facts & Figures (ISBN: 7-119-01259-2 / Z502 and Published by Beijing Foreign Language Press (BFL) in 1990 AD, Beijing) is that after the British expedition of Tibet by Sir Francis Younghusband in early 1904 AD, the British left only after signing an agreement with the Tibetans. In this agreement, now known as the 1904 Lhasa Convention, the obviously still independently operating Tibetan Government agreed to a number of points. By far the most notable point was that independent Lhasa promised never to allow political or trade influence by any outside Nation other than Britain. This excluded not only Russia but also the Manchu Emperors in their Chinese Realm from any dealings with Tibet without consent from Britain.
Only shortly after the turmoil from the Younghusband Invasion had dissipated was faced with yet another political crisis. In the case, the 13Th Dalai Lama was once more forced from his Capital, this time fleeing northward to Urga (Ulaanbataar) in Mongolia, where he stayed for over a year while teaching Buddhist religion to the Mongolians and enjoying the hospitality of the rather depraved Bogd Khan, the Religious King of Mongolia (even there, he was not entirely free from Chinese influence).
Not much after the Dalai Lama temporarily left Tibet for better safety in Ulaanbataar, the Qing Dynasty immediately proclaimed the 13Th Dalai Lama deposed and again repeated its assertion of sovereignty over Tibet and made claims over Nepal and Bhutan as well (Tibet considered Bhutan part of its territory at that Time).
Somewhere in 1905/06 the 13Th Dalai Lama traveled to the Kumbum Monastery near Xining (the Capital of the current day Qinghai Province of the Peoples Republic of China) and from there on to the Qing Court at Beijing where he was granted an audience with Emperor Guangxu (by then held captive) and Empress Dowager Cixi. The Emperor tried to stress Tibet's subservient role, although according to popular sources (unconfirmed) the Dalai Lama refused to kowtow to him. The 13Th Dalai Lama stayed in Beijing until December of 1908 AD when he returned to Tibet, possibly feeling he had succesfully staved off the Chinese and their pressure this time.
Unbeknown to him however, at the same time as he was staying over in Beijing, his supposed new Allies, the British secretely signed a deal with the Qing Government which directly contradicted to 1904 Lhasa Covention. Most importantly and most relevant point in this treaty even today, is that Britain allowed the Manchu Government direct influence in Tibetan affairs without any previous agreement with Britain.
In 1907 Britain signed another additional Treaty with Russia which obliged both those Imperialist) Nations to only deal with Tibet through Manchu "China".
Although again, the Manchu Empire was not Chinese, at the time most westerners felt it was Chinese because the Manchu were only a small dominant minority among a sea of mostly nameless Han Chinese. Ignoring significant historical details, even today the Peoples Republic of China and the Communist Party of China attempt to lay claim to sovreignity over Tibet by pointing out that Britain agreed with the Manchu Government to let them have their way with Tibet. That the (Imperialist) Manchu Empire has long since disintegrated does not seem to matter to Chinese historians and politicians.

The official website of a cellist from Brisbane, Australia.
Starting his 2019 showcasing to a 13,000 strong crowd at Woodford Folk Festival's Amphitheatre and a string of well attended shows across south-east Queensland, cellist Rob Knaggs' live performance is fast gaining a reputation with audiences for being evocative, emotive, and enchanting.
After another two years braving the harsh Canadian winters in Manitoba, Rob Knaggs is back in Australia for a run of shows with his new EP, Foreshore. Recorded in Winnipeg and mastered by Birgir Jon Birgisson of Sigur Ros' home studio Sundlaugin, Foreshore is a continuation of Rob's cello driven compositions that are equal parts cinematic soundtrack and post rock. Taking influence from the ethereality of Bjork and the epic orchestrations of Arcade Fire, Knaggs runs his cello through an array of effects and loop stations to compose his spine-tingling works.
Knaggs' 2017 debut, Up the Middle, is an instrumentally dynamic ode to Churchill, Manitoba. Impressed by the record's ambition and concept, Travel Manitoba, the province's leading tourism promoter, hand selected Rob Knaggs to perform alongside Winnipeg visual artist, Kal Barteski, to represent Manitoba at tourism galas in New York City, Winnipeg and Calgary.
"Rob Knaggs will make you feel as though you are gliding through the deep dark ocean alongside the magnificent graceful whales. It's a dream, come share in it."
"In the spirit of making the most of it, I stuck around the Chai Tent to watch Cellist Rob Knaggs deliver an incredible instrumental performance of "Up the Middle". The title and music of Knaggs' set were inspired by his fascinating experiences playing the cello to whales at sea. With the tent light only by a cello decked out with fairy lights, Knaggs ended his set with his arrangement of Flying Whales. The symphonic yet serene music created an atmosphere so ambient he received a standing ovation."

My Weekend in Baltimore
Rabbi Marc Soloway May 5, 2015 Guests and Blogs Comments Off on My Weekend in Baltimore
Rabbi Marc Soloway
It was almost a whole year in advance that I was invited by Rabbi Sid Schwarz to join the faculty of a retreat for rabbinical students across the denominational spectrum, on the theme of "spirituality and social justice." It felt like a real honor to join the teachers on this program of CLAL's Rabbis without Borders. The venue was Pearlstone Retreat Center, on the outskirts of Baltimore. What we could not have predicted was that the retreat would be at the end of a terrible week for the community of Baltimore, a week of demonstrations and riots stemming from the outrage at the death of yet another young black man while in police custody. Obviously a group of rabbis and rabbis in training, gathered together to talk about the role of social justice in the rabbinate, could not and should not ignore the anguish on the streets so close to where we were.
What is our role as rabbis, and as members of the Jewish community, in the continuing fight for justice in our cities in general, and in the Black Lives Matter movement in particular? The theory of social justice articulated by Rabbi Sid Shwarz in his presentations and in his book, "Judaism and Justice," is about the Jewish experience being on a continuum between the 'tribal' narrative of the exodus and the 'covenantal' narrative of Sinai. He argues that even though Sinai describes the experience of revelation for the Israelites, something in this moment moved them from the particular to the universal, to a more encompassing commitment to justice. The conversations and the exercises, the depth of thought and passion, along with a wonderful and joyful building of a spiritual community across the spectrum of Jewish belief and practice, were all very inspiring, uplifting and hopeful. Truthfully, however, the most powerful part of the weekend for me, was the day I spent in Baltimore after the retreat was over with Ari Witkin, a young student from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Philadelphia. Before starting rabbinical school, Ari had lived for ten years in and around Baltimore and, as an activist, knew the city and the community well.
We took the metro from Pikesville to downtown Baltimore, going right underneath the Mondawmin mall and Penn North, where the majority of the looting and rioting had taken place just days before, resulting in the deployment of the National Guard. We joined a gathering of artists and activists poised for a very peaceful and colorful march, stopping along the way for poetry, music, Capoeira and other soulful expressions in solidarity with the community of Baltimore and the work of justice everywhere.
We met Ari's friends and fellow Jewish activists, Gabe and Gerry, along with a very diverse and creative group, representing different races, cultures, as well as sexuality and gender. We stayed outside the community center where they were gathered for a while, but they weren't in a hurry to get started and we wanted to get to a clergy rally outside the city hall.
A very different scene awaited us there with hundreds of people of faith congregating right outside halls of power to pray and talk, sing and chant words of justice and support. Stirring words from Baptists, Catholics and Jews, accompanied by some very moving gospel singing, including chants of slogans from the Black Lives Matter movement, like "Hands up, Don't shoot" and "I can't breathe." We heard powerful words and heartfelt prayers from black church leaders, as well as a Catholic Bishop and a rabbi, who got the crowd chanting in Hebrew the words from Deuteronomy "Tzedek, Tzedek Tirdof – Justice, Justice shall you seek!" This rally was loving and peaceful, but the message was very clear: people all over this nation need to be out on the streets in solidarity until there is justice and equality in our cities. Although the two gatherings I witnessed seemed so different in their character, it was striking to feel the power of the same message, whether through art or religion, dancing or praying.
We left this rally to go and reconnect briefly to an old friend and colleague from rabbinical school, Rabbi Daniel Cotzin Burg, known as The Urban Rabbi. He moved with his family to take a job in a shul in downtown Baltimore and has done some incredible work building a community, integrating with the world around him, in a neighborhood that is regenerating. Daniel has been very much involved in recent events, speaking and acting from a place of deep and real connection to the black community. Beth Am is in a neighborhood surrounded by large houses once occupied by wealthy German Jews, and subject to "white flight" a couple of generations later. As we saw the shul and walked around the neighborhood, seeing a community garden, an urban farm and a diverse and integrated community, I felt inspired by the very brief glimpse I got of this urban regeneration, where people are working together to build a gentler, more hopeful world.
I spent the evening catching up with old friends who live in the heart of a very religious Jewish neighborhood in Pikesville. This was a wholly different kind of community, which brought up some uncomfortable questions for me around how oblivious and detached this community might be from their fellow citizens and their plight just a few miles away. It was a great contrast to the growing Jewish community downtown around Beth Am. I can't help wondering where on that line between tribalism and covenant we are when we keep ourselves separate, regardless of how vibrant and passionate our Jewish lives might be.
There is so much work still to be done in our broken world — to restore justice, to work for peace and to find our place in that work, as allies to anguished black citizens, and as prophets for a new future. Even though it had been such a painful few days for this city, my weekend in Baltimore, first with idealistic rabbinic students and then with local people working for change, gave me great hope overall in what can be achieved by the courageous human spirit, in all its diverse expressions.
Here in Boulder, a group of activists has organized JABA — Jews as Black Allies. It provides an opportunity to do that work, to get out in the public sphere and restore justice; to align ourselves with the people of color who continue to struggle with the deep racism in this country 50 years after MLK's legacy that gave so much hope. It will not be easy work, and it will not be quick, but this continuation of the work of the Civil Rights Movement is vital. On May 28th, 7:00 – 9:00 pm at Nevei Kodesh, JABA is hosting a diverse panel to discuss the work of the Black Lives Matter Movement. This is an opportunity to join the covenantal narrative, to stand in solidarity and to refuse to be silent.

Q: Batching quads creates bad color blend opengl es2 I'm trying to batch a bunch of rectangles/quads and getting some odd blending:

Each rect seems to get a little bit of its neighbor's color.
Here's my test code:
typedef struct {
 Vertex bl;
 Vertex br;
 Vertex tl;
 Vertex tr;
} TexturedQuad;

typedef struct {
 CGPoint geometryVertex;
} Vertex;

...
- (void)setupTextureQuad {
self.quads = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:1];

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    TexturedQuad newQuad;

    newQuad.bl.geometryVertex = CGPointMake(i * self.contentSize.width, 0.);
    newQuad.br.geometryVertex = CGPointMake(self.contentSize.width + (i * self.contentSize.width), 0.);
    newQuad.tl.geometryVertex = CGPointMake(i * self.contentSize.width, self.contentSize.height);
    newQuad.tr.geometryVertex = CGPointMake(self.contentSize.width + (i * self.contentSize.width), self.contentSize.height);

    [self.quads addObject:[NSValue value:&newQuad withObjCType:@encode(TexturedQuad)]];
}

  _vertices = malloc([self.quads count] * sizeof(CGPoint) * 4);
  _colors = malloc([self.quads count] * sizeof(GLKVector4) * 4);
}

...
- (void)render {
[self.effect prepareToDraw];

int i = 0;
int c = 0;
for (NSValue *aQuad in self.quads) {
    TexturedQuad quad;
    [aQuad getValue:&quad];

    long offset = (long)&quad;

    float randomRed = (arc4random() % 100)/100.;
    float randomeGreen = (arc4random() % 100)/100.;
    float randomBlue = (arc4random() % 100)/100.;

    _vertices[i] = quad.bl.geometryVertex;
    ++i;
    _vertices[i] = quad.br.geometryVertex;
    ++i;
    _vertices[i] = quad.tl.geometryVertex;
    ++i;
    _vertices[i] = quad.tr.geometryVertex;
    ++i;

    _colors[c] = GLKVector4Make(randomRed, randomeGreen, randomBlue, 1.);
    ++c;
    _colors[c] = GLKVector4Make(randomRed, randomeGreen, randomBlue, 1.);
    ++c;
    _colors[c] = GLKVector4Make(randomRed, randomeGreen, randomBlue, 1.);
    ++c;
    _colors[c] = GLKVector4Make(randomRed, randomeGreen, randomBlue, 1.);
    ++c;
}

  glEnableVertexAttribArray(GLKVertexAttribPosition);
  glVertexAttribPointer(GLKVertexAttribPosition, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, _vertices);
  glEnableVertexAttribArray(GLKVertexAttribColor);
  glVertexAttribPointer(GLKVertexAttribColor, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, _colors);

  glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, i);
}

Drawing them individually by putting the glDrawArrays in the loops and working with each quad as opposed to batching renders as expected but not optimal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A: The best bet to what is going on is there is a problem with your GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP. What it looks like is that there is an extra triangle being drawn after every rectangle (you can see it form the top 2 vertices of every but last rect to a left bottom of the next one. Because those vertices have a different color it appears as some kind of a blend).
Anyway, for the triangle strip you would need only 2 vertices per rectangle + 2 on the beginning (or the end if you wish) BUT if you do that correctly you will get a nice blended specter throughout the whole scene because again the vertices will have different color.
If what you want to do is just have those rectangles with a certain color without blend, it would seem that all you need to do is switch GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP to GL_TRIANGLES.

Madison priests get directives on funerals of LGBT people
by Heidi Schlumpf
dreamstime_m_23117967 crop.jpg
(Dreamstime/Arne9001)
A Catholic funeral may be denied to LGBT people to avoid "public scandal of the faithful," according to new directives in the Diocese of Madison, Wisconsin.
The communication from vicar general Fr. James Bartylla regarding "Consideration of Funeral Rites for a Person in a Homosexual Civil or Notorious Union" was sent to priests of the diocese as part of a weekly email. It was made public by the Pray Tell blog Oct. 22.
Early reporting on the directives attributed the communication to Madison Bishop Robert Morlino. The diocese issued a statement clarifying that "the communication attributed to Bishop Morlino was not an official diocesan policy, though it does conform with the mind of the bishop and meet his approval."
The document encourages pastors to "think through the issue thoroughly and prudently" and to contact the bishop for guidance.
"The main issue centers around scandal and confusion (leading others into the occasion of sin or confusing or weakening people regarding the teachings of the Catholic Church in regards to sacred doctrine and the natural law)," the document said, "and thereby the pastoral task is to minimize the risk of scandal and confusion to others amidst the solicitude for the deceased and family."
Several of the suggestions in the letter concerned the surviving partner, who should "not have any public or prominent role" at a funeral rite or service or be mentioned in any liturgical booklet, prayer card or homily, the document said.
In addition, the name of a celebrating priest or parish should not be listed in any public obituary that also lists the predeceased or surviving partner. "This can't happen for obvious reasons," the document said.
The statement released by Brent King, director of communications for the Madison Diocese, said Bartylla's communication "was a result of pastoral questions asked by the priests themselves, and was to serve as a tool to provide some framework and considerations, in this confidential setting."
"No such policy could adequately cover every case, and it has always been the 'policy' of the Diocese of Madison, on the matter of public funerals in general, that pastors are charged with addressing the particular situations of their people — whom they ideally know well and whom they have accompanied, even until their death," the statement said.
An advocate for lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual Catholics criticized the directives, calling them "heartless," "cruel" and "unchristian in the extreme."
"This document is the very antithesis of pastoral care," Marianne Duddy-Burke, executive director of DignityUSA, which works for LGBT equality in church and society, said in an Oct. 22 statement.
"It shows that this bishop believes that lesbian and gay people who have lived a deep commitment to a spouse or partner should be demeaned even in death," she said. "Our families could be refused the sacraments of our faith at the moment of their greatest grief."
The directives are similar to those released over the summer by Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, which included restricting funerals and even reception of the Eucharist by LGBT Catholics in same-gender marriages.
Both sets of directives cite Canon 1184 from the Code of Canon Law, which says that "manifest sinners" whose funeral would cause "public scandal of the faithful" should be denied ecclesiastical funerals "unless they gave some signs of repentance before death."
The Madison Diocese's directives included considering whether the deceased gave signs of repentance, or whether the deceased and/or the partner was a "promoter of the 'gay' lifestyle." It also asks, "What is the attitude of the deceased's family members, especially towards the Church?"
Duddy-Burke said such "unjust and mean-spirited pronouncements" only serve to distance LGBT people, their families and many young people from the church, referencing earlier refusal of Catholic funerals to those who died of HIV/AIDS, which "only served to devastate families in need of comfort."
"Church officials see they have lost in the civic arena, on the issues of marriage equality, military service and adoption, so they are lashing out again," Duddy-Burke said in the statement.
Such a pronouncement "breaks the Body of Christ," she said. "It shows that these bishops are unwilling to do the real work of pastoral leadership, which is to engage their flocks in honest dialogue."
The diocese's statement called "lamentable" those who spread "gossip, rumor and sadly even calumny ... without asking the diocese for any clarification whatsoever."
The diocese also decried those who leaked the communication. "Those who place at risk the ability of the bishop to communicate with his priests confidentially do a grave harm to the Church and perform, indeed, what Sacred Scripture calls 'a work of darkness,' " King said.

Bake Off star Liam Charles opens new playground at Canonbury Primary School

Great British Bake Off star Liam Charles cut the ribbon for the grand opening of Canonbury Primary School's new playground on Friday.
Parents pitched in to help raise the cash to improve the facilities, with one auction raising £42,000.
Headteacher Patrick Mildren, 50, said: "It's been mind-blowing – they're actually enjoying it more than I could have possibly imagined."
He said: "It is a physical manifestation of the spirit of the school because we couldn't have done it without the parents, the PTA's money, the foundation's money and without the school budgets".
Cllr Caroline Russell stopped by at the unveiling.
She said: "It just feels like a complete haven.
"It's got all these things for the children to play on and it's just wonderful."
Pupils Cecilia Bird and Evelyn Cowhig, both nine, said their new playground was "the best thing ever".

Rosa Rugosa is a perfect plant for a seaside garden. The hardy rugosa roses will grow nearly anywhere and will produce an abundance of scented flowers followed by attractive looking orange rose hips! These wild roses grow even in sandy soils and will thrive in the most exposed sites. They also deal very well with salt spray.
Rugosa roses are suitable for filling up banks or they can be grown as hedges. Their flowers and fruit encourage wildlife into your garden. They attract bees to their flowers and the rose hips are a great food source for birds. A dense rugosa hedge also offers shelter and nesting opportunities for all kinds of birds.
The rose hips are edible and very high in Vitamin C. They can be made into delicious jams! You garden wildlife will also appreciate the rose hips. Birds love them!
These roses are very vigorous growers and can grow up to 2 m high. This makes them unsuitable for smaller beds or borders. Be warned: they will overrun everything that is in their way so choose the spot for them wisely! For smaller gardens choose the Rugosa Hybrid roses. These are grafted and won't sucker and spread like their wild cousins.
Soil: most soils are tolerated by this hardy rose. Avoid extremely wet ground.
Aspect: anywhere from sun to part shade. Avoid deep shade.
Uses: natural hedges, ground-cover, filler for banks and wild areas, Rugosa roses are able to compete with weeds and grass.
Rugosas are very easy to look after. They require very little care. Feeding is usually not necessary unless your soil is extremely poor. Once established they don't need any watering.
The Rugosa rose can be planted from bare-rooted plants during October until March. Soak the plants well and cut them back hard. Three plants per meter should be enough for a hedge. Water them in well after planting. Add compost to poor soils.
Potted plants can be planted throughout the year.
These roses are one of the easiest to prune. Trust me: you can't do anything wrong! The quickest way to cut them is with a hedge trimmer. They can be cut back all the way to the ground or only half way if you wish. Do this during the winter so you don't lose out on the flowers and fruit. Doing it this time of the year also does not disturb any nesting birds.
The two common types are Rosa r. 'Rubra' with pink flowers or 'Alba' with white flowers. They look lovely together when mixed as a hedge.

Some people have ceremonies by cutting ribbons, breaking ground, or popping champagne. But at Living Room, we're cake people.
At the New Office Open House Party held last week, we were elated to see so many friends, partners, and civic leaders come to see the new hub of where ending homelessness for people living with HIV in Georgia begins.
If you took a tour with us, you likely heard us mention over and over all the opportunities the new location and increase in space will allow. In metro Atlanta alone, there are roughly 17,000 people living with HIV who are unstably housed. To meet this need, we continue to increase the number of services we provide each year. This new office will equip our team to meet and exceed these benchmarks.
Thanks to everyone who attended our cake-cutting ceremony!
A Space by and for the Community.
We also took a moment to give special thanks to folks whose financial contributions especially have made this transition possible. Since Taste of Life last year, folks were invited to honor or commemorate a friend, family member, or leader by dedicating a room in our new office on their behalf.
Left to right: Justin Ziegler (Board Director) stands with his mother, Dr. Christine B. Ziegler, to whom he dedicated one of Living Room's client meeting rooms.
Left to right: Steve Maddern, David Caron, Jim Kucera, and Myra Kucera, stand in Living Room's executive office, which was dedicated in honor of David Caron's vital work as AIDS Ministry Leader at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
If you didn't get a chance to see our new office at the Open House (or would like to visit again), please feel free to stop by any time! We would be more than happy to give you a tour and show you where we are ending homelessness for people living with HIV in Georgia.


Looking for that special someone to be my partner in crime!
I am friendly and fun. I like a good sense of humour, kindness, loyalty, honesty and an interesting mind. I do not like rudeness, arrogance or dishonesty. I love walks and runs in the countryside with my dog, travelling- especially city breaks. I enjoy socialising with friends and having a cocktail or two! I have a sunny outlook on life and enjoy making the most of every opportunity.
He should be funny, attractive and have a lovely smile. He should be kind, caring and romantic. I would love to find someone who likes to travel as I lived in Japan for 5 years, travelled around Asia and now my children are older have the travel bug back! I want someone honest and a little resemblance to Tom Hardy would be a bonus too!

Best Dance Movies in India!!!
Dance is a form of performance art in which the body is moved in a rhythmic manner usually in response to music and to express an idea or emotion. Dance enables us to understand ourselves better and about the world around us. In India, there are different types of dance forms that are practiced such as Hip-hop, Zumba, Kathak, Bharatnatyam and many more.
source : google
When it comes to dancing in Indian movies, it is an essential creative element, along with Music, that plays an important role in the Indian film narrative! Bollywood has been using music and dance as a requisite feature to tell its stories. But, there are few movies that have made solely to celebrate the art of dance. Here, we shall be focussing on such movies in the list below:
ABCD: Any Body Can Dance (ABCD) is an Indian 3D dance film directed and choreographed by the famous choreographer Remo D'Souza. It was released in 2013 worldwide in multiple languages with a lot of positive reviews from critics and audience alike. Famous actors like Prabhu Deva, Ganesh Acharya, Kay Kay Menon are seen playing the lead roles in the movie. It's a complete dance film in which all the dance sequences are shot and executed exceptionally well. It's like a feast for dance lovers with never seen before dance moves and the choreography is the real hero of the movie. Such was its success that it got a sequence in 2015 titled ABCD2 which too was a blockbuster hit.
Lakshmi: Lakshmi is a 2018 Tamil dance film written and directed by A.L. Vijay. The movie has Prabhu Deva, Ditya Bhande, Aishwarya Rajesh in the lead roles. The story of the film revolves around a 10-year-old girl, who lives & breathes dance and has one dream - to win the national level dance competition. The film shows how this little girl struggles in achieving her goals and making her dream come true in spite of the troubles she faces throughout her journey! Lakshmi was shot extraordinarily making each and every scene a hit! The dance moves are carefully choreographed and well presented. I love this film as it's so inspiring, and I have watched this movie on repeat.
Style: It's a 2006 Telugu musical dance film written and directed by Raghava Lawrence with Prabhu Deva, Raghava Lawrence, Raja, Charmy Kaur, Kamalinee Mukherjee in the lead roles. This film's storyline is quite unique, and it showcases how a cleaning boy becomes a dancing champion with his dedication, immense hard work and endless passion for dance along with the help of his dance master and friends. The story has numerous twists and turns that make it a thrilling watch.
These are just a few of my favorites, but there are several other wonderful movies in different languages with dance as the base of the plot in movies!
