El tratado de Perpiñán de 1473 fue un tratado de paz firmado en Perpiñán el 17 de septiembre de ese año entre los representantes de Luis XI de Francia y de Juan II de Aragón que puso momentáneamente fin al conflicto por la posesión de los condados de Rosellón y de Cerdaña volviendo en gran medida a lo establecido en el Tratado de Bayona de 1462 ―se reconocía la soberanía de Juan II sobre los condados pero este no podría ejercer su autoridad sobre ellos hasta que no satisficiera el pago a Luis XI de 300.000 escudos por la ayuda militar que le había prestado en los inicios de la guerra civil catalana, especialmente en la liberación del asedio de la Força Vella de Gerona―.

Antecedentes

Nada más entrar en Barcelona el 17 de octubre de 1472, poniendo fin así a la guerra civil catalana, el rey Juan II de Aragón ordenó a su ejército que se dirigiera al Ampurdán para desde allí intentar recuperar los condados de Rosellón y de Cerdaña que estaban en poder de Luis XI de Francia. Inmediatamente después convocó a las Cortes de Cataluña para que, además de afrontar los graves problemas económicos de Cataluña tras diez años de guerra civil, aportaran los recursos necesarios para la campaña del Rosellón. En la convocatoria se había establecido que la inauguración de las Cortes tendría lugar en Barcelona el 15 de enero de 1473, pero se tuvo que retrasar porque el rey Juan II acudió en ayuda de Perpiñán que se había sublevado contra Luis XI. A finales de enero franqueó los Pirineos y el 1 de febrero hacía su entrada en Perpiñán, mientras la guarnición francesa se refugiaba en la ciudadela de la villa. El resto de localidades rosellonesas siguieron el ejemplo de la capital, por lo que solo quedó en manos de Luis XI, además de la ciudadela perpiñanesa, los castillos de Salses, Colliure y Bellaguarda.

Juan II decidió entonces trasladar las Cortes a Perpiñán y la inauguración definitiva tuvo lugar en esa ciudad, pero a causa del asedio de las tropas francesas al mando de Felipe II de Saboya, señor de Bresse, iniciado el 21 de abril, tuvieron que trasladarse nuevamente a Barcelona. El 19 de junio los sitiadores intentaron el asalto de la ciudad pero fracasaron y cinco días después levantaban el cerco ante la inminente llegada de un ejército de socorro al mando del príncipe Fernando que se había desplazado desde Castilla nada más conocer la angustiosa situación de su padre sitiado en Perpiñán. El 14 de julio se firmaba una tregua de dos meses y medio entre Felipe de Saboya y Juan Ramón Folch III de Cardona, conde de Prades, en nombre de Juan II, quien como no se fiaba del Luis XI decidió permanecer en Perpiñán, mientras su hijo Fernando regresaba a Castilla. Y en efecto el rey aragonés no se equivocaba porque Luis XI envió un ejército de refuerzo al mando de Louis de Crussol que junto con el de Felipe de Saboya intentaron tomar Argelés, el puerto de abastecimiento de Perpiñán, pero fueron rechazados por un ejército de Juan II al mando de Beltrán de Armendáriz en Palau-del-Vidre. Como consecuencia de este revés se puso fin a las hostilidades con la firma del Tratado de Perpiñán el 17 de septiembre de 1473.

El tratado
En el tratado se volvía a los términos de lo acordado en el Tratado de Bayona de 1462 por lo que en él se reconocía la soberanía de Juan II sobre los condados pero este no podría ejercer la autoridad sobre ellos hasta que no satisficiera el pago de 300.000 escudos por la ayuda militar que el rey de Francia le había prestado en los inicios de la guerra civil catalana, especialmente en la liberación del asedio de la Força Vella. Se le daba un plazo de un año para el pago de esa cantidad y durante ese tiempo el mando de los condados correría a cargo de un gobernador elegido por el rey francés entre diez candidatos propuestos por el rey aragonés. En cuanto a las fortalezas se acordó que serían regidas por un capitán general nombrado por el rey aragonés entre cuatro candidatos presentados por el rey francés.

Jaume Vicens Vives cuestiona la afirmación del historiador Joseph Calmette de que el tratado de Perpiñán de 1473 fue un «desquite» de Juan II. «Podríamos utilizar esta palabra si el monarca aragonés hubiera podido rescatar íntegramente su soberanía en los condados», pero el tratado «no fue, en la mente de Luis XI, más que un eventual instrumento de tregua mientras no se despejara el horizonte diplomático del Norte de Francia [ su enfrentamiento con el duque de Borgoña Carlos el Temerario ]. Luego volvería a la carga para realizar sus propósitos pirenaicos». En cuanto a Juan II, Vicens Vives afirma que al aceptar el tratado, «reconocía que no se hallaba en condiciones de restaurar la plenitud de sus derechos en Rosellón y Cerdaña por el único medio que aceptaría su rival: la fuerza. Su aparatosa entrada en Barcelona en octubre de 1473, realizada, según ciertas versiones, en el carro triunfal de los héroes, no correspondía a una victoria que no se había producido».

Consecuencias
A principios de 1474 Luis XI empezó a concentrar un ejército en el Languedoc para apoderarse de los condados de Rosellón y de Cerdaña y se negó a recibir personalmente a los embajadores del rey Juan II que habían sido enviados a la corte francesa precisamente para que renunciara definitivamente a sus pretensiones sobre los condados sin esperar a cambio el pago de los 300.000 escudos acordados en el Tratado de Perpiñán. El 14 de junio de 1474, tres meses antes de que se cumpliera el plazo de un año establecido en el tratado de Perpiñán, las tropas de Luis XI cruzaron la frontera y se adentraron en el Rosellón. La invasión no pilló a Juan II desprevenido ya que desde finales de febrero de 1474 había comenzado a preparar la defensa de los condados desde el vecino Ampurdán y en mayo había obtenido de las Cortes catalanas, que habían reanudado sus sesiones en Barcelona el 21 octubre del año anterior, un fondo de 350.000 libras.

El plan de ataque del ejército invasor era apoderarse de todos los puertos roselloneses, para impedir el abastecimiento de Perpiñán, y de los pasos pirenaicos, para impedir la llegada de un ejército de socorro desde el resto de Cataluña. Así en las dos primeras semanas tomaron Argelés y Canet de Roselló, en la costa mediterránea, y Ceret en los Pirineos. Ante la gravedad de la situación Juan II, muy enfermo en aquellos momentos, promulgó el 19 de junio el usatge Princeps namque que suponía la movilización de todos los hombres de armas del principado.

El 1 de noviembre penetró en el Rosellón un nuevo ejército francés que se dirigió inmediatamente a Elna para reforzar el ataque al que ya estaba siendo sometida. La ciudad capituló el 5 de diciembre. Sus defensores, encabezados por Bernat d'Olms fueron llevados prisioneros a la ciudadela de Perpiñán donde fueron ejecutados acusados de traición. Poco después los ejércitos de Luis XI comenzaron el asedio de Perpiñán atacada también desde la ciudadela. La última esperanza que le quedaba a Juan II era que su hijo Fernando, que acababa de ser aclamado como rey de Castilla el 2 de enero de 1475 tras la muerte del rey Enrique IV de Castilla tres semanas antes, pudiera acudir con un ejército, pero el estallido de la Guerra de Sucesión Castellana se lo impidió. Perpiñán, que resistió de forma heroica encabezada por su cónsul Joan Blanca, acabó rindiéndose el 10 de marzo de 1475.  El 2 de abril se firmó una tregua de seis meses. Vencida la tregua el ejército de Luis XI en febrero de 1476 se apoderó del castillo de Salses, la última fortaleza rosellonesa que todavía estaba en poder de Juan II.

Juan II, falto de recursos no pudo recuperar los condados de Rosellón y Cerdaña. Tuvo que ser su hijo Fernando II el Católico el que lo consiguiera mucho tiempo después, mediante el Tratado de Barcelona de 1493.

Two open positions for internships at our office!
"Interning at WFTO-Europe was the best first professional experience. It was an amazing learning process where I acquired useful skills and got the chance to attend and participate in interesting events. Even though I was the project management and fundraising intern I also got the chance to collaborate in the communication aspects of the organization.
I am more than ever enthusiastic about the fair trade movement, I am convinced it is a great tool to fight inequalities regarding, not only income disparities, but tackling a variety of issues affecting our societies. WFTO-Europe is part of a network composed of a great number of European fair trade actors, this internship gave me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge on the functioning and organization of the fair trade movement as a whole.
"I have been part of the WFTO-Europe team working as a communication monitoring and membership assistant. In particular, I have experienced a great worldwide network of people sharing knowledge and expertise, raising awareness of fair trade practices. I have witnessed words becoming actions and I am glad I have been one of the actors of the fair trade boosting, giving a small impact by developing new communication strategies. WFTO is a pro-active organization, realizing concrete activities aimed at giving dignity to North and South producers. This experience has truly enriched my background and I am quite satisfied with my time inside the organization. By working on the issue, I have understood that more than the big organizations, the great contributors of Fair Trade are single people choosing to buy quality and not quantity.
"Doing my internship for the end of my Master degree at WFTO-Europe was a great experience! I warmly suggest it to all students from any degree willing to discover the world of an international NGOs active in sustainable development.
It will be a unique chance to see how an organisation composed by members of different nationalities works and interacts with them. As Membership Assistant, I got to know many engaged organisations all over Europe and I acquired a deep understanding of the way the Fair Trade movement in Europe is shaped. I also learnt how to use communication channels such website and newsletter to speak out about fair trade and related topics.
In addition, working and living in a multicultural environment such Brussels enhanced my adaptability and improved my English. I had several opportunities to attend external events, especially in European Institutions (European Parliament, Committee of the Regions, EC Info Point), which was simply great (not all the organisations encourage interns to attend events on their behalf!).
The atmosphere in the office was always relaxed and pleasant, thanks to passionate colleagues keeping your motivation high. I really liked being free to independently organise my workload and I always felt supported whenever I had initiatives.
"This internship was an incredible experience and I feel so lucky that my first experience of working in a professional non-profit environment was done at WFTO-Europe. Having the chance to work half a year in a small team for an NGO means to do a bit of everything but also to have the responsibility to manage some pretty important and exacting tasks, where you have to be proactive, take an initiative, be determined to realize all your ideas and to follow through even when something doesn't go as planned.
As a 'Project management and fundraising intern', I had the chance to work for example on campaigns for World Fair Trade Day, International Women's Day, to prepare and publish the WFTO-Europe Annual Report 2017/18, to support and collaborate on project applications and concept notes. I helped with the organization of our Biennial conference and I was also creating content for our social media and campaigns.
I have met and worked with many amazing and inspiring people from (not only) the European Fair Trade movement and attended several really great events where all the topics I have had learned during my studies were discussed – but suddenly have become so much more interesting and important. And, of course, it was a great opportunity to apply my language skills and improve their level, be independent, get out of my comfort zone and get the most out of a francophone and multicultural city such as Brussels – with all the perks and cons it offers. Thanks to this internship I have realized how is Fair Trade important and how development is such a complex and interdisciplinary field and how there is still so much to learn.
"Working at WFTO-Europe was my first professional experience abroad and it was a great start. I've had the chance to confront my previously gained experience with the professional and international environment at WFTO-Europe, which allowed me to see my skills and my future career in much clearer perspective.
I've met very interesting and inspiring people with different backgrounds and different experience, from whom I could have learnt every day. I broadened my horizons and deepened my knowledge not only about Fair Trade but also about many other issues connected.
As part of my job at WFTO-Europe I had the chance to learn more about fundraising and different funding opportunities, organize multiple events of different scale, or get in touch with people from organizations based all over Europe.
"Working for WFTO-Europe was a great experience learning what it's like working in an international professional setting!
My communications skills greatly improved from working with people from all over Europe (and beyond) on a daily basis. Not only did this improve me professionally, but it was enjoyable and I made many new connections I hope to work with again someday.
In addition, because it's a smaller organisation, there is plenty of opportunities to gain experience in multiple areas beyond just those of your internship. I was the Communications and Membership & Monitoring Intern, but I also helped with some of the fundraising and I helped translate a grant report- which not only was great to learn how to do, but also looks impressive on my CV!

07.25.2127 - A Child's Goodbye
Author Topic: 07.25.2127 - A Child's Goodbye (Read 7309 times)
Without a thought Shannon rushed to her tortured and shackled mother. She wrapped her arms around her and held on as an infant clinging to a blanket and buried her face into her mothers chest.
She soon turned her head to the side and said, "Mom, I don't know how much time I have with you and Dad here. Do you remember our days in the park? Those were my favorite days. I drew you and Dad a picture of our happy time there. I've waited a long time to give it to you. Although they won't let you keep it I wanted you to see it." Shannon untied the scroll ribbon and unrolled her precious memory and then rolled it back the other way to straighten it out. Holding her art in one hand she reached up and slipped the blindfold just a bit from her mother's eyes so she could see it.
One should never underestimate the stimulation of eccentricity
(EDIT: a post above (in yellow), the father would not have been gagged.)
(OOG: Do I have record of your parents first names?)
Shannon moved one side of the blindfold up at a time. Evidently her mother had been blindfolded for quite some time for she kept her eyes closed. But with great effort the exhausted woman attempted to manage her emotions. She slowed her breathing, stopped her crying and the shivering abated.
After Shannon had worked both sides of the blindfold to her forehead, she didn't see any reason why not to continue with the gag. She reached up again and after losing the knot the bloody cloth fell to the floor to her mothers' shackled feet. Her mother couldn't help herself, she took in a deep gasp for air.
'Her tongue has been cut out!' Shannon observed.
OOC: You do, in fact, have a record of them.
(OOG: Okay, I didn't while I was on the train, but I do now. Still your turn to post.)
Shannon desperately tried to contain her shock and outrage. She didn't have time for her whirlwind of emotions right now since her time for farewells was growing shorter by the minute. Sorting out this injustice would come later and almost certainly while she was with her pen.
"Mom…please…if you can, open your eyes. It's not at all bright in here. I think you'll like the picture I drew for you and Dad." The girl looked back to her father for reassurance.
As she noted earlier, he was relatively unharmed. This fact unnerved Shannon and offered her more insight into the system of laws and morals of the society she was stuck in. Her father, Dakin, an officer in the army defense on the rim, had seriously injured three guards almost killing them with efficient ease. Yet he was minimally physically punished, if at all. Her mother, Sasha, healed her father, saving his life when the medics could not. Here she is with her tongue cut out and whipped until her flesh was raw. The toll extracted from each seemed to be upside down. There was fear of her mothers gift. It had to be more than the excuse of it, "leading to bad things" as Criss had said…much more.
Sasha leaned her head back against the stone wall. Her arms looked so emaciated from hanging taut against this wall and Shannon wondered how long she had been down here like this. Breathing steadily, she slowly managed to open her eyes against the light. She blinked a thousand times and then finally lowered her gaze to her daughter. She gave her the bravest smile she could muster.
Shannon smiled back showing her mother the picture. Sasha barely noticed the picture since her gaze was fixed on her daughter. The girl placed the picture on the stone floor of the prison cell being careful that it didn't touch anything wet. Again Shannon went to her mother and hugged her gently being careful this time not to irritate her injuries.
"I'm proud of you, Mom. I hope to be as strong as you someday. They can take away a lot of things but they can't take away love." Shannon held Sasha close to console her crying mother. In the slightest whisper Shannon reassured Sasha, "You did the right thing." At that Shannon reluctantly let the embrace slip and walked to her father.
Hearing her come closer, Shannon's father gave her a small smile and a nod in her general direction. "And I am proud of you my daughter. The courage you are obviously possessing against this injustice is truly heroic. You surely are as strong in spirit as your mother and you will endure and survive."
Her father had made no attempt to hush his voice for it was loud and commanding …and meant to be heard down the hallway. He was as proud and forthright today as he was the day before all of this had started, they hadn't taken any of his pride from him. 'He will continue his rebellion in the mines,' Shannon thought.
Admiration of her father swelled in the young girl. Despite being chained to the wall, his defiance, strength of will, and dignity were all intact. He was a soldier trained to face the evil denizens of the rim. Retreat or surrender was not an option. Professional soldiers of this sort were among the hardiest of warriors harboring a disciplined bloodlust and unwavering dedication. Shannon knew they had unleashed his bonfire as well. 'They have no idea what they have just done to themselves.' thought the proud girl.
Shannon approached Dakin and lifted the blindfold from his eyes. She looked at him intently "Dad, the last thing you said to me was to 'forgive you'. Be brave, Dad. There is nothing to forgive…you did what was right." Shannon professed. She lowered her voice to a near inaudible whisper "I'll be brave too…for you and Mom. Someday I'll get you out of here, I swear it."
When her father immediately replied, he used a tone of voice that was all too familiar to the young girl. It was the same hushed tone that Shannon heard countless times when her father would lean down to her and tell her secrets, conspiracies, or opinions about those around them. He said, "Shannon. Listen to me now. You will do nothing of the sort. You will not try to free us for your attempt would ruin our plans. When the time comes, your mother and I will escape our prison and come save you from yours; save you from the prison walls around this city. We will free you Shannon from this corrupt society and flee to a new land."
The young girl understood completely. All her life she knew that when her father had plans he would follow through. Add to that the vengeance her mother must be plotting and Shannon knew there would be blood flowing when the time was right. How long would that be? She wondered.
Another thought occurred to her as her father spoke. He had said '…to a new land'. Safe-Haven wasn't the only sanctuary in this world. The lies told by the authorities began to unfold in front her.
Shannon nodded her head in acceptance of her father's orders despite her twinge of disappointment. "I will write you and Mom letters…to tell you how things are going. Maybe even some pictures if they'll let them through." she said quietly.
Shannon closed her eyes and bowed her head slightly. She spoke softly but forcefully, "I hate them Dad. I hate what they've done to us. I hate their rules and fears. I don't understand how to be a kind person that you would be proud of and yet want to hurt people for what they've done." Shannon looked at her Dad, "I don't understand how the sun can shine while I feel surrounded by darkness." she stated sadly.
"Sun can't penetrate a veil so finely woven with deceit my daughter," her father whispered back. "Someday, we will escape the darkness and seek the shard of light known as justice. With that shard we will pierce that veil, rip it into two and free all good people of SafeHaven."
Shannon heard the steel footsteps of the Judge enter the cell. She turned and watched as the gigantic suit of plate mail walked over to her mother and looked down upon her hanging form
"Come here Shannon and hold your mother," Judge Criss stated and then rested his hands on his scabbarded greatsword.
Shannon smiled at her father and looked over her shoulder at the judge's imposing form. Just as the judge instructed, she went to her mother and gripped her tightly enough to be protective but not so tight as to irritate her mother's obvious wounds. "I'll write to you Mom. I won't say goodbye. Instead I'll say, until we see each other again. You are my lantern in the night Mom."
Shannon embraced her mother showing no signs of letting go and trying her best not to shed any tears. She had to stay strong for her parents.
The ring of the steel as the greatsword was withdrawn from the Judge's scabbard sent a shiver down Shannon's spine.
Her eyes opened wide as she truly realized one, of many, implications that sound meant. Was the judge going to execute them here and now? Shannon wanted to push that thought completely out of her mind. It was too horrible to consider. Maybe the judge was going to free them or maybe he was going to hurt Natasha for some reason. In the seconds her mind raced and hoped for other reasons, the thought of execution endured.
Shannon turned her head to see what was happening despite the judge's command to embrace her mother. She simply couldn't help it.

Throughout the scriptures, there are many models of how to live in relationship to God. One of the key features of this life of faith is the practice of prayer. While many of us can feel intimidated by prayer, confessing that we do not pray enough, it can sometimes be helpful to look at the prayers of others. This month, we will look at four examples from scripture of prayer and what these might suggest to us about how to have a dynamic and life-giving prayer life.

Creation presentation with Spike Psarris with Apologetics Symposium in Bothell, WA.
Did God create the Universe, as the Bible says? Or did the Universe form itself in a Big Bang event, as secular astronomers claim?
A close look at the scientific literature reveals a surprising truth: the best secular models predict that most of the things we see in space, including stars, galaxies, and the planets of our Solar System, cannot have formed by themselves. In effect, the models say the heavenly bodies cannot exist. Thus, these models fail to explain the cosmos and its contents.
In this presentation, full of beautiful photographs from NASA and other sources, you'll discover that the Universe is consistent with Biblical creation instead. Rather than supporting secular models, the heavens declare the glory of God!

The Buttermere Round: a muscle-warming 22 miles, taking in Seatoller, Honister Pass (steep), Buttermere (very pretty), Newlands Pass (steep), Swinside, and Keswick.
There are off-road trails to suit every ability. Please make sure that you stay on bridleways and do not alarm walkers and sheep! There is also a relatively new BMX/mountain bike track in Fitz Park in Keswick, with berm corners, step-ups, rollers, doubles, triples, and more challenging jumps.
Moderate: the Old Coach Road from St John's in the Vale to Dockray (near Ullswater) is a great way to get across to Aira Force and Ullswater. The wide track is quite rough and steep to begin with, but it soon levels off and you can start to appreciate the wonderful views of Blencathra and, on a clear day, the Pennines in the distance.
Moderate: the paths either side of the Glenderaterra Beck, with a bridge that allows you to cross the beck, provide a really exciting loop. The path on the west side of the valley is narrow, uneven, and challenging, but the path on the east side is broad and well-surfaced.
Hard: Stonethwaite to Grasmere via Greenup Edge. Please stick to the bridleways.
Varied: Whinlatter Forest Park, 6 miles from the hostel, provides the longest purpose-built mountain bike trails in the Lake District. The Altura Trail is a red grade 19km trail and is designed for experienced mountain bikers with a higher level of fitness and stamina. There are challenging single track sections and popular features like berms, jumps, rock features, skinnies, cork screws and table tops. www.forestry.gov.uk/alturatrail. In contrast, the family-friendly Quercus Trail is a blue grade 7.5km trail, suitable for all abilities and levels of fitness.

The Suppression of Bills & Public Input
Posted on April 30, 2021 by fpmca
Some proposed bills in the state legislature have not been granted a hearing, essentially barricading their advance in the legislative process. This is an unprecedented development, since bills are typically granted a hearing.
AB 327, a bill to ban vaccine passports, was turned down by the committee Chair who simply wouldn't allow it to have a vote. The fact that any bills are being suppressed, no matter their content, is cause for major concern!
Assemblymember Kevin Kiley reports, "Even when bills are heard, it's often a farce. Last week I presented a bill to restore business licenses that were revoked for lockdown violations. It was going to pass, until the Speaker intervened and ordered the Chair to kill it. The final vote was 6-7."
Fences and Police Officers Around the Capitol
As of April 28th, FPM's Nathan Pierce stands in front of the Capitol where fences all around the building discourage entry and police officers patrol the perimeter on bikes and in cars.
Additionally, the ability to voice support or opposition to a bill has been severely limited this year. The committee chairs at the Capitol continue to encourage citizens not to physically attend hearings but rather just testify by phone. This has resulted in the Capitol building being closed except for select hearings where they allow only a limited number of people into the building to testify. There are even fences around the entire Capitol building and police officers patrolling the perimeter! To make matters even more frustrating, there has frequently only been a total of 10 minutes worth of phone testimony allotted for a bill.
Bills like AB 101, which would require a controversial Ethnic Studies course for high school graduation, still had over 40 citizens on the phone line when the Committee Chair closed the lines. Watch the clip of that hearing here. The hearing for SB 397, which would have granted protections for churches during a declared emergency, also capped phone testimony to only 10 minutes. When they were done hearing the voices in support and turned to the voices in opposition for SB 397, there was a technical difficulty and those still on the phone line were actually in support of the bill, showing that there were many more who wanted to state their support but could not.
The ability of citizens to speak on legislation whether in support or opposition is vitally important in a free society with a representative government. These limitations on the general public's input on bills has not been seen before.
In 2018, when assembly bill 2756 (the home inspection bill) was being heard in committee, thousands of homeschooling families came down to the Capital from all parts of the state to voice their opposition. Their participation paid off. The bill was killed. (Read about that victory here.) Imagine if we had only ten minutes to oppose AB 2756 (a bill hearing whose testimonies lasted three hours). Thousands of voices would have been silenced!
Instead of hearing and deliberating on many of these bills that have great effects on the general population, the California Legislature has habitually ceded their authority of legislating to the Governorship and his Executive Branch. This last year has made visible the danger of consolidation of powers in a single figure and the detrimental effects it has on the rights and liberties of citizens. The power of the people through their representatives has been diminished indeed.
We should not settle for 10 minutes of phone testimony, nor accept that they discourage in-person testimony, nor tolerate a legislature that is turning over its authority to the governor. We should fight for our rights of assembly, freedom of expression, and the right to petition our government, all of which are increasingly being diminished by a government that should be for, by, and of the people.
We at FPM have been working to train families and individuals on how to engage in advocacy from home. Though current circumstances make fighting for our freedoms difficult, it has also opened up ways we can work to engage our elected representatives at the district level. We have an online training program and a way for you to engage directly with your own representatives. Click the button below to start your training!

We caught up with our previous guest SHOX- Catch him live on rinse.fm, Each Monday 11am-2pm, on 106.8 FM.
When did you first start producing/djing?
Started messing around with djing at 15. My friend from school got some low budget turntables and we'd pile into his house after school and pretend we knew what we were actually doing. I stuck at it and convinced my Dad to buy me a set at 16 and its continued since then. As for producing I first started about 2 years ago cutting up and sampling old records and learning how to use workstations then started releasing and writing my own music about 18 months ago.
How did you first get involved with rinse.fm?
I was involved with pirate radio since I was a teen, mainly around North London. The last station I was on before Rinse, Geeneus was involved with and I got to know him through there. This was early 2009 I started getting booked for a few parties that were affiliated with Rinse and when that station dissolved I took a break for a few months and concentrated on producing. After that I got a call from Rinse managment asking if I'd like to do a test show, which I did and the rest is history!
In London I'd have to say Fabric. Its always rammed and the setup/sound and hospitality is always on point.
Did you enjoy your night at Concrete?
Yeh I had a blast! Who knew Tuesday nights in Portsmouth was that crazy eh?!
Biggest influences on your style?
Old electronica mainly. People like Moby and Aphex. But also the heavy more rave influences of garage and grime. Sticky, Agent, Narrows etc.
Name 3 people you would most like to collaborate with?
Good one. This always changes. At the moment probably Drop The Lime, OM Unit and Azealia Banks. 3 is so hard though. There's tons!
Are there any particular labels you would like to release on?
Would definitely like something on 50 Weapons. Their output is crazy and suits my taste. Maybe Mad Decent too.
Again a hard one because Im feeling so many. Right now Baauer, Roska & Royal T.
Hands down was Bestival but I played the first Dimensions Fest in Croatia this year and it was sick! The music, sound and crowd were so on point.
Same formula. Just work harder.
Im working on a few but thats all I can really say at the minute.
Most is in the works at the moment. I can say Im getting to do my first compilation which Im very excited about.
Where can we expect to see you over the next month?
Next gig for me is Cardiff on the 25th Oct then the 31st I hit Italy for a mini tour.

Trump says it's impossible he forgot La David Johnson's name during call with his widow because he has 'one of the great memories of all time'... AND his staff put a cheat sheet in front of him
President Donald Trump pushed back at the widow of slain soldier La David Johnson, who was killed in action in Niger
He said widow Myeshia Johnson is a 'lovely lady' but disputed her account
Johnson said the president couldn't remember her husband's name in condolence call
She told ABC: 'I heard him stumbling on trying to remember my husband's name and that's what hurt me the most'
Trump said he has 'one of the great memories of all time'
He also said aides put a chart in front of him that included Johnson's information
'I was really nice to her. I respect her'
By Geoff Earle, Deputy U.s. Political Editor For Dailymail.com
President Donald Trump said he couldn't have stumbled trying to recall slain soldier La David Johnson's name when making a condolence call to his widow because he has 'one of the great memories of all time.'
The president called Myeshia Johnson, whose husband La David Johnson got killed in a firefight in Niger Oct. 4, a 'lovely lady,' even as he disputed her recollection of the call that set off an ongoing controversy.
The president also revealed that staff had placed a chart of information in front of him during the condolence call, bolstering his contention that he could not have forgotten Johnson's name.
'Just so you understand, they put a chart in front,' Trump told reporters on the South lawn of the White House before flying to Dallas.
President Donald Trump talks with reporters as he departs the Oval Office of the White House for Dallas, in Washington D.C. He claimed he had 'one of the great memories of all time' and denied stumbling over the name of a fallen soldier in a condolence call
'I can only say this. I was really nice to her. I respect her. I respect her family. I certainly respect La David, who I by the way called 'La David' right from the beginning.'
Trump continued to defend himself. 'Just so you understand, they put a chart in front: La David. Says La David Johnson. So, I call right from the beginning, there's no hesitation.'
Then he credited his own memory. 'One of the great memories of all time. There was no hesitation. I think she's a fantastic woman. I was extremely nice to her. Extremely respectful,' the president said.
Trump called family members of four slain soldiers after saying at a press conference last week that he always calls family members in such cases and claiming that President Obama didn't make condolence calls. It was later revealed that Trump had not called families of all troops killed during his term, and prior presidents reached out to families in various ways.
I thought he was a Democrat! Trump hammers Flake again... Clinton 'may have known' about funding the Steele dossier... Trump rips Hillary Clinton's campaign for role in Russia... Trump ambassador admits he should have been more 'culturally...
Myeshia Johnson (pictured), the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, said Monday on Good Morning America that President Donald Trump couldn't remember his late husband's name during a condolence call
Trump spoke at length about his call to Myeshia Johnson following the death of her husband in action in Niger
Trump fielded questions on a range of topics Wednesday
Trump said he was presented with a chart containing information about slain Sgt. La David Johson
Mindful of getting into another spat with the pregnant widow and mother, the president repeatedly complimented Myeshia, though not by name, on Wednesday.
She told ABC News in an emotional interview that aired this week: 'I heard him stumbling on trying to remember my husband's name and that's what hurt me the most.'
The interview prompted Trump to get into a twitter war with her, tweeting Monday that he spoke Johnson's name 'without hesitation.'
Trump tweeted that he had a 'very respectful conversation' and said Sgt. Johnson's name 'without hesitation!'
'I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Army Specialist Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!' he tweeted after the interview ended
He added on Wednesday: 'I was extremely nice to her. She sounds like a lovely lady. I've never seen her. I've never met her. But she sounds like a lovely lady. But I was extremely nice to her.'
'I was extremely courteous as I was to everyone else. You know it's interesting. You folks have called many people that I spoke to. Everybody has said unbelievable good things about me, but you never report that. Did you report it? Did you report it?
Explaining the call, Trump said: 'I would say basically we talked condolence. I mean, it's all about condolence. It's about warmth. In many cases you listen.'
'One of the families they were saying yes he was a great football star,' Trump said, referencing an earlier condolence call that was videotaped and aired on television.
He was likely referring to his April call to Natasha De Alencar, whose husband, Staff Sgt. Mark R. De Alencar, was killed in Afghanistan. Trump and the widow traded compliments about her eldest son's football prowess.
Trump told the press: 'Look, you people have called many people that I've spoken to. And every one of them has said I couldn't have been nicer. Now, it's a rough time … I mean how tough is it? There's nothing tougher. But I have such respect for those families. Nobody has more respect than I do. Nobody.'
Wilson is a family friend of the Johnsons, and was in a limousine with the Gold Star widow and her family on the way to the airport to pick up the soldier's body when Trump made the call.
Johnson confirmed Wilson's version of events on Monday.
Sgt. Johnson (pictured) was one of four soldiers killed in an ISIS ambush in Niger earlier this month
'Whatever Ms Wilson said was not fabricated. What she said was 100 per cent correct,' Johnson said. 'The phone was on speakerphone. Why would we fabricate something like that?'
Johnson said her aunt, her uncle, a master sergeant and Wilson were with her in the car when Trump called the master sergeant .
The call came as they pulled onto the tarmac at Dover Dover Air Force Base to pick up Sgt. Johnson's body, his widow said.
Johnson said she asked the master sergeant to put the phone on speakerphone so that everyone in the car could hear Trump.
'The president said "He knew what he signed up for, but it hurts anyway",' Johnson recalled.
'It made me cry because I was very angry at the tone of his voice and how he said it.
'He couldn't remember my husband's name. The only way he remembered my husband's name was because he told me he had my husband's report in front of him, and that's when he actually said "La David."
Trump touts memory and denies stumbling in condolence call

Exceptionally Talented Chinese Angel of the North, WeiTing Huang
I've been very impressed with the high calibre of international students and graduates especially in the North of England who succeeded in their application for exceptional talent and exceptional promise. This is because these students and graduates while still very early in their tech career, have shown exceptional promise in the field of digital and technology. I have helped and interviewed Taras Lanchev from Ukraine now based in Leeds and Daniel Melendrez from Mexico now based in Manchester.
This blog is more personal as it is about my friend WeiTing Huang. WeiTing is from Shenzhen, China's first special economic zone with a strong reputation for innovation and technology. She moved to Newcastle to study a double masters at Newcastle University; an MA Cross-Cultural Communication and MA Arts, Business and Creativity. It was during this time that she fell in love with the Geordies and Newcastle. She was also bitten by the entrepreneurial bug and co-founded Busy Backpack. Busy Backpack is a digital platform that helps international students get involved with local communities and events. Busy Backpack's ethos is embracing creativity and diversity, connecting people from different backgrounds, and creating valuable experience for its members.
After her studies, she successfully applied for the sought after Graduate Entrepreneur Visa to allow her to remain in Newcastle to continue her business. Busy Backpack was so successful that she was granted a renewal of the visa for an extra year to allow her to remain in Newcastle to further grow her business.
WeiTing felt enormous pressure however, as her immigration status was not secure and she could not plan more than one year ahead for her business. This is because the Graduate Entrepreneur visa only allowed WeiTing to remain in the UK for one year at a time. Each time, she would have to re-apply and meet the criteria to be approved for the next year.
Therefore, when I told WeiTing about how I became the recipient and Ambassador for the Exceptional Talent Visa scheme, it was the golden ticket she so desperately wanted and needed to allow her the possibility of a 5 year visa to remain in the UK. This visa would also provide her with the security she needed so that she could focus on her business and the huge carrot of permanent residency after 5 years then UK citizenship 12 months later.
When I met WeiTing, I was temporarily based in Newcastle working as the Community Manager for Forge, a UK/China IoT accelerator Programme that assisted 10 international and national scale ups cross the border and enter China.
WeiTing became the Community Manager of TusPark, the newly opened co-working space in the heart of Newcastle City Centre who assisted me in successfully delivering this intense accelerator programme. With her innate knowledge of China and cultural differences between UK and China to her natural abilities in using We Chat, WeiTing was the perfect fit for the role. In a short period of time, WeiTing and I were not only colleagues, we became good friends.
It was partly because of WeiTing that I too, fell in love with Newcastle and ended up moving there. She was so friendly, welcoming and taught me all she had learnt about Newcastle. Looking back, WeiTing was my Chinese Angel from the North!
In the 3 months that we worked together and then the 12 months that followed, WeiTing immersed herself in the Newcastle tech ecosystem, meeting and connecting so many people together while running Busy Backpack. It was this advice that I provided WeiTing to help her with her own personal growth and development which in turn would help her business and finally prepare her for her application for endorsement. Because a big part of getting endorsed is to have made a strong and positive impact to the UK tech ecosystem or your own tech ecosystem.
While WeiTing was very driven in making her application successful, it was also because of the strong support network that surrounded WeiTing.
In preparing her documents, she received letters of support from the well respected founders of Newcastle Start up Week, Tuspark Newcastle Eagle Lab, evidence where she hosted and presented at events, acceptance into the highly regarded Ignite accelerator program and funding offers from VCs.
While WeiTing says that I helped inspire her to apply for the Exceptional Talent endorsement, she helped inspire me to move to Newcastle.
I've lived in a number of cities around the world and in the UK and I found Newcastle to be one of the most friendliest cities. The Geordies are well-known for their banter, their friendly and chatty nature as well their genuine reception to people who move to their city.
I know WeiTing will continue to work hard to help grow the Newcastle tech ecosystem, scale Busy Backpack, serve her 2000+ international community members and continue to make strong cultural links between UK and China.
Looking back, WeiTing advises anyone applying to
be confident, work hard and start preparing as early as possible.
Great advice from someone who has just been endorsed for exceptional promise so that she can now confidently apply for her Tier 1 Exceptional Talent Visa in digital technologies. Congratulations WeiTing!

It all started with Lindsay Lohan donning a hijab to support her upcoming fashion line; Nike went onto unveil a hijab for Muslim athletes. IMG picked up model Halima Aiden, and the hijab slowly picked up pace as a trending topic. With all the attention the hijab has got over the past several months, here are five awesome ways to rock the hijab!
Wearing a hijab in this blistering heat means you have to opt for a lighter fabric. A little goes a long way if you decide to invest in quality fabrics that can last longer. Try to use fabrics in pastels to accentuate your features; soft colours are perfect for these hot summer months. For brown or darker brown eyes choose lavender, peach, powder blue and white.
The first thing that stands out on a girl with a hijab is her eyes! Make sure you've got that eyeliner on fleek! Use kohl to bring out your eyes or a classic black eyeliner.
These are always trending; add a statement necklace and transform your outfit. Stick to delicate, elaborate, necklaces that don't confuse your look – and don't forget to play with colours!
Don't pair up a pink outfit with a pink hijab, use contrasting colours that look good together or colours in the same spectrum. Match some element of your outfit; go for neutral, soft makeup to complement your look. Keep taupe, rose pink, salmon lipsticks stashed in your essentials.
Minimalism is key! Don't overdress the hijab, keep your makeup understated, try not to overdo the necklaces, or mix large prints with small ones. Stick to plain colours and ensure your hijab adds value to your outfit, and gives you that aura of elegance.

Airline head baseball coach Toby Todd surveys the field in this 2017 file photo during his beardless days. Todd recently picked up his 400th career victory. The Vikings won four straight District 1-5A titles from 2014-2017.
Trying to sum up 400 wins in one story about a man who has made an impact on so many could never be written by one person, especially when it is about "No. 4", Airline Vikings head baseball coach Toby Todd.
So what better way to share No. 400 in a story by sharing the thoughts of those who made it all possible?
Airline gave Todd his 400th with an 11-5 victory over Southwood on Saturday.
Todd arrived on the campus of Airline in the fall of 1999 and served as an assistant coach under current Airline principal Jason Rowland before being named the head coach in the fall of 2000.
"400-wins — we are so proud for Coach Todd and all that he has accomplished," Rowland said. "Eighteen years as our head coach and to reach this milestone of 400 wins is a testament to his dedication and desire to invest in our kids.
To follow in the steps of a man with the character and passion for people as Rowland was no easy task, and it was one that could not be accomplished alone.
And no one has been beside Todd longer than his right-hand man Chase Cox, who has shared 12 years of memories between the lines as his assistant.
"We have been together 12 years now and he has taught me a lot about the game of baseball, but he has taught me more about what it takes to build this program," Cox said. "He has known since day one that I have goals of being a head coach, so Toby has taken every opportunity he could take to teach me how to be a successful head coach one day.
While it may be too soon to decide who all belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Airline baseball, one who is definitely at the forefront of the discussion is Clay Bohanan.
"Very well deserved congratulations to Coach Todd on his 400th victory. That is a testament to his leadership and the stability of the Airline Baseball Program.
"My dad, Clay Bohanan created the program in the 80s and early 90s that was well respected throughout the state and I am proud that Coach Todd has maintained that reputation. Coach Todd coached against us when I played at Airline in the 90s and I was very fortunate to be an assistant coach at Airline alongside Toby under Jason Rowland my first year out of college.
"Growing up in an Airline baseball family, I've been around Coach Todd since I can remember. When I was six years old he brought me up to the press box and gave me an Airline beanie that I still have to this day.
"It might not seem like much, but as a boy, I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. From then on I couldn't wait to play for Coach Todd.
Another mainstay at Coach Todd's side who bleeds Viking blue is his 10-year assistant and friend Eric Flowers.
When speaking of competing, one can't help but think that Airline and Haughton has the longest standing competitive rivalry in Bossier Parish high School baseball.
Haughton head coach Glenn Maynor, who has amassed 500 wins in his career as the Buccaneers head coach, had this to say about his friend.
Here is what some players had to say about their time with Todd.
Note: Al Cantwell is an assistant baseball coach at Airline.

Some companies say. "We're one big family," but my parents never downsized my brothers for lower-salaried siblings…. The workplace has changed, from a relationship built on loyalty to one that is arm's length and legalistic. Your employer knows the law and might think that you do, too, which can cause misunderstandings. Learn the new rules of work, and how to survive and thrive. Learn to protect yourself from discrimination and "workplace bullying," and how to maximize opportunities in good and bad times, including severance- and non-compete agreements. Work is a major part of your life that should work for you. Students will become familiar with the laws that govern their workplace relationships. They will learn the most effective way to resolve various sorts of workplace problems as well as when it might be appropriate to retain an attorney and how to minimize the cost of legal services. This invaluable knowledge will help reduce workplace stress in times of change.
