Spirit Wins and Media Lies Lose at Standing Rock Protest  
"We are tipis going up to see the stars. Enjoying the campfire with drums in the distance. Who can ask for more this very blessed night." ~~An Elder at the Standing Rock Main Camp, Cannon Ball ND

Smells of sweet burning sage linger in the late evening and drift over the main camp on Highway 1806 at Cannon Ball North Dakota. Junior Cuero of the San Diego Campo Reservation chants the Bird Song, a mesmerizing, meditative and repetitive song of respect and honor to the Standing Rock people. A gourd rattle accompanies this ancient chant; a message given to the people by the Creator. Creator sent a bird to teach the People how to sing and dance and treat each other with empathy and not indifference. The sun is setting, bathing the campsite in warm light as the prairie winds begin to calm, and people gather around the campfire, feet tapping in rhythm.



There are two camps. One is located within the "official" reservation boundary and the second "main camp" with the majority of the protesters is located on U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's land just north of the Cannon Ball River. The North Dakota Department of Emergency Services says it is not on tribal property, but the original treaty line was moved in 1889, so if you support broken treaties, you could call it illegal. In this case legality is in the eye of the beholder.

The Dawes Act and the Allotment Act opened the reservations throughout the United States to settlement by non-Indians. The tribe maintains jurisdiction on all reservation lands, "including rights-of-way, waterways, and streams running through the reservation." On paper, that is.

See the history of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation and learn more about the broken Fort Laramie Treaty that arbitrarily moved boundaries and tried to divide the Sioux Nation.

Standing Rock lies just south of the pipeline's path under the Missouri River. How do you stop an oil spill at a boundary drawn on a map? Ask the people of Saskatchewan, who are facing 66,000 gallons of heavy crude from a broken pipeline owned by Husky Energy, Inc. It is making its way downstream and threatening the drinking water of several communities.

Despite local media accounts to the contrary, this gathering of Nations to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline are Spirit Camps of thoughtful prayer. There is no need to prolong the misinformation and outright lies perpetuated by the North Dakota Forum News Service. A governor steeped in the sticky flow of oil and money that has all but ruined portions of the North Dakota landscape feeds the news cycle with threats and lies about behavior at the encampments and issues emergency orders.

Truth about what fuels the reactions of authorities can be found in the discarded detritus of the failed oil boom. Abandoned RVs form small mountains in salvage yards, wells are shut down, man camps are ghost towns, and the promises of great wealth are only memory. The loss of oil revenue dollars provokes great fear in the offices of politicians. The Dakota Access Pipeline is really another name for the "abandoned" Keystone XL Pipeline and the goal is to wring every last drop of Bakken crude from North Dakota.

Authorities are reacting with anxiety that the pipeline will be compromised, and believe that concrete barricades along the main road to Standing Rock will stop the people from coming to protect their life source; water flowing from the mighty Missouri river.

But people continue to come, taking the long detour meant to complicate their journey to the Spirit Camp and reduce business at the Prairie Knights Casino and Hotel. But the authorities, despite the show of force at a "safety checkpoint" and rerouting of traffic on 1806 from Bismarck to Standing Rock, have failed. The hotel is almost full and the diversion along Highway 6 is spectacularly beautiful. Those who have purpose and appreciate the land and all it has to offer do not mind this "detour."

Descendants of the Massacre at Wounded Knee by the Seventh Cavalry come. Young riders, many teenagers, come on their horses--they are some of the Big Foot Riders who travel 300 miles every year to Wounded Knee to pay respect to the ancestors who were massacred by the U.S. 7th Calvary Regiment. They, along with tribes from across the continent, do not want this pipeline that would involve 200 water crossings and pass through 300 sacred sites. They come. They come by car.

They come by horse.



They come on foot.

They are still coming.

Read Winona LaDuke's excellent analysis of all that is at stake, "What Would Sitting Bull Do?"

I am not sure how badly North Dakota wants this pipeline. If there is to be a battle over the pipeline, it will be here. For a people with nothing else but a land and a river, I would not bet against them. The great Lakota leader Mathew King once said, " the only thing sadder than an Indian who is not free, is an Indian who does not remember what it is to be free."

Let's for a moment reject the profane response of North Dakota authorities and focus instead on the sacred.

So many have traveled great distances to stand in solidarity. Many Nations now united as one.

An Elder from the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe talks of raising his granddaughter in the old ways. Seeing the tipis fills him with "cante waste"-- "heart felt good." M. Jay Cook is a member of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) School Board and says that sometimes raising his granddaughter "is my only motivation to live." I receive a text from him one morning and a photo that is incredibly evocative of what is at stake here. He writes of the campfires and "hearing memories of growing up in iron lightning" as the stars speak to him of days gone by. He intends to "face the storm (oil) like the Tatanka (Buffalo) Nation."

Hazel Red Bird is 91 years old and a regal presence around the campfire. Many stop to greet her and share stories of growing up in Fort Yates. Red Bird is now back home at Standing Rock after living a good part of her life in Wisconsin. She is a true warrior woman, having enlisted in the Army Air Corps during World War II to train as a nurse at St. Mary's School of Nursing in Pierre, South Dakota. The Great War ended just as her training did, and she began her working life as a registered nurse in the civilian white world.


Hazel Red Bird by Georgianne Nienaber

Red Bird surveys the gathering and says she is "amazed, thankful and humbled." Then she glances down at the writer's notepad to make certain those three words are written accurately.

"I am amazed because I didn't think I would live long enough to witness this unity and resiliency among the Nations."

Red Bird is quiet for a moment as her eyes narrow and she surveys the movement of the people who have gathered around the green tent that serves as a food and information center.

"I am thankful that I have lived 91 winters and humbled that prayers have been answered."

At 91, this elegant Lakota woman still projects a warrior's stance. There is more to learn about this fascinating woman who is also a repository of the Lakota language, and you can read more here.

There are other spiritual warriors who have gathered in joyful celebration and unity. Several young women from the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe wanted to make it very clear that they "are standing for our water." Their ancestors fought and died along the northern and eastern shores of the Missouri River.

The Crow Creek Indian Reservation was established by executive order following what was known as the Minnesota Uprising, as a prison camp for the exiled Isanti Dakota and Winnebago people. These were the survivors, mostly women and children, of the largest known public execution in American History, "The Hanging of 38 Dakota Men at Mankato Minnesota." From 1863 to 1866 approximately 300 died at Fort Thompson suffering from starvation, sickness, disease, exposure, hardship, and heartache.

A federal judge will rule on the legality of the Dakota Access Pipeline on September 9. It remains to be seen whether the traumatic past will be repeated and define the present. How much can be endured; how much more can be stolen? This is a spiritual battle for generations to come. Clean water and air is a right, not an option.

The bird song says this is true.

An Explorer's Ode to America's National Parks (20 photos)  

Mark Burns spent five years visiting all 59 of the United States' national parks. Captured in stirring black and white images, his landscape photography project was completed just in time for the National Park Service's centennial celebration. “It's a time to reflect on the rich history of our national parks,” Burns said of his 160,000-mile journey, “but it's also a time to plan wisely for the next 100 years.” Glacier Bay's wild coastline, Death Valley's parched terrain, and Yellowstone's surging geysers are all pictured in searing detail. One image from each park is currently being exhibited at the Houston Museum of Natural Science until September 5th. A selection can be found below.

New UN S-G Must Realize That Climate Change Threatens Our World  
The task facing the next United Nations Secretary-General will not be an easy one. The world seems to be teetering on the edge of multiple, interconnected crises including conflict in Syria, tensions around Ukraine, and disputes over water and land resource issues. All of this at a time when we are seeing the biggest movement of people since World War II.

In the public debates the candidates for the next UN Secretary-General have participated in, they've shown that they can list what will be in their in-tray, but few have acknowledged the common thread running through many of these crises and challenges: the impact of a changing climate. Any analysis that fails to acknowledge this as one of the key drivers to current and future global instability is a flawed one.

The evidence of this impact is becoming increasingly apparent. Whilst very few are saying that climate change is a direct cause of conflict, it is certainly increasing the likelihood. Last month research published by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research found climate disasters increase the chance of armed conflict, particularly in ethnically-divided nations. Climate change is already contributing to social upheaval and even violent conflict by making bad situations worse. In 2015, the National Academy of Sciences linked a prolonged drought in Syria in 2011 to climate change, and suggested the drought may have contributed to the start of the conflict and subsequent migrant crisis: The 2006-2011 drought was particularly severe and led to widespread crop failures, which in turn forced people to move within Syria into cities in search of work, increasing the tension and chance of conflict in urban areas. As always, there will be alternative views and whilst other analysis suggests the link may not be so straightforward, the new additions have certainly added momentum to the debate.

Unlike her fellow candidates, Christiana Figueres -- a Costa Rican diplomat and former head of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change -- not only recognises that climate change is increasingly one of the biggest threats that we face, she also understands that the security implications need to be addressed along with all the other threats to global stability and prosperity, rather than in isolation. She knows that without such an approach climate change promises to make many of our most complex crises -- from migration to conflict, food shortages to terrorism -- much harder to solve.

A Secretary-General prepared to integrate a response to the risk posed by climate change across the UN will have the best chance at delivering peace during these turbulent times. International security today is dependent on understanding the effects of climate change on people's prosperity within states and relations between states.

Figueres has demonstrated that she is a shrewd diplomat and coalition builder at the top of her game. She picked up a broken UN climate talks after the failure of the Copenhagen Summit in 2009, and proved she could help states work together to achieve the Paris Agreement, the first of its kind to commit all countries to reduce their carbon emissions and transition to economies based on renewable energy. States that once saw little to agree on have, through her skill and dedication, found common ground and agreed a deal which was previously seen as impossible.

What's more, as was often repeated at the World Humanitarian Summit in May, the scale and frequency of the crises that are hitting home have stretched the UN and the humanitarian apparatus to the breaking point. The UN needs reform. It needs to treat these crises holistically and not remain beholden to a siloed approach that gives rise to internal demarcation disputes. The UN has shown it can deliver multilateral deals -- not just on climate but also the Sustainable Development Agenda, and the Sendai Risk Reduction Framework.

The 21st century is proving extremely challenging, with many threats to our global prosperity and well-being. Under the new Secretary-General, the UN will have to adapt to meet these challenges and the candidate the members of the Security Council choose to recommend to the General Assembly must be capable of delivering; Christiana Figueres is that candidate.

French grande for LOST BOUNDARIES (Alfred L. Werker, USA, 1949)

Artist: René Lefebvre

Poster source: Dominique Besson via EBay

“This story is a true account of the lives of Scott and Marsha Carter. Having graduated from medical school, Scott Carter, a fair-skinned African American, marries Marsha Mitchell and moves to Georgia. When he arrives at the black clinic in Georgia, he discovers that the job must inconveniently go to a Southerner. Discussions between two nurses at this clinic suggest that Scott's light skin may have some bearing on the decision not to hire him. Defeated but not conquered, Scott returns to Massachusetts to live with his in-laws until he can get employment. He tries unsuccessfully to obtain employment as an African American. Because Marsha is pregnant, Scott decides to take a job at Portsmouth Hospital, but he reluctantly does so as a white man. While there, he manages to save the life of Dr. Bracket, who encourages him to take a postion in Keenham, New Hampshire. Scott decides to continue “passing” for white. In Keenham, Dr. Scott Carter proves to be quite a success for the town. For twenty years, Dr. and Mrs. Carter live peacefully in Keenham with son, Howard and daughter, Shelley. All goes well until Scott and Howard decide to enter the military during World War II. When Scott applies for officer status with the Navy, an investigation reveals his black heritage, and he is barred from receiving a commission.” Broncine G. Carter, IMDb

Hubble Spots an Irregular Island in a Sea of Space  

NASA Goddard Photo and Video posted a photo:

This image, courtesy of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), captures the glow of distant stars within NGC 5264, a dwarf galaxy located just over 15 million light-years away in the constellation of Hydra (The Sea Serpent).

Dwarf galaxies like NGC 5264 typically possess around a billion stars — just 1 percent of the number of stars found within the Milky Way. They are usually found orbiting other larger galaxies such as our own, and are thought to form from the material left over from the messy formation of their larger cosmic relatives.

NGC 5264 clearly possesses an irregular shape — unlike the more common spiral or elliptical galaxies — with knots of blue star formation. Astronomers believe that this is due to the gravitational interactions between NGC 5264 and other galaxies nearby. These past flirtations sparked the formation of new generations of stars, which now glow in bright shades of blue.

Nasa's Juno spacecraft will make its closest pass of Jupiter on Saturday when it soars over the swirling cloud tops of the solar system's largest planet at more than 125,000 miles per hour.

The close encounter will be the first time the $1.1bn (£840m) probe has its full suite of cameras and scientific instruments switched on and turned towards the planet as it flies overhead at an altitude of 2,600 miles.

Homes: five go cosy in Idaho  

How do you fit an architect, her partner, their two kids and a great dane into a house the size of a caravan?

When architect Macy Miller embarked on a project to build her own home five years ago, she was single and living in a converted garage in downtown Boise, Idaho, the state capital. Her dream was to live efficiently, without much environmental impact, and to build a home for roughly the same cost as her annual rent ($12,000). And so her plan to create The Tiny House, just 196 sq ft, was born. “About a week later, I bought a trailer on wheels, eight foot wide, as the foundation,” she says. Miller now lives in the house with her partner, James, also an architect, their two small children and an enormous great dane.

The house, built directly on top of the trailer, is what most of us would consider a tight squeeze. It has a flat roof and is clad in recycled wood. Both the front and newly extended back, which is wrapped in corrugated metal, have wooden decking steps filled with homey potted plants. The front door enters straight into a tiny living area, big enough just for an armchair, with a recessed television and two shelves of books. A flip-up table sits below the window “Mostly in the down position,” Miller says. To the right is a mezzanine bed for the couple, accessed by steps that double as open shelves. One pace to the left is a small galley kitchen, with a fridge and microwave recessed into the wall. The bathroom opposite has a full-sized shower, sink and compost loo. At the far end of the kitchen is the kids' room, formerly a covered porch, which has doubled the size of the house.

The Diva of Delusion  
Florence Foster Jenkins offers some marvelous set pieces, including Meryl Streep's hilariously inept version of “The Laughing Song” from Johann Strauss's Die Fledermaus. Regrettably, the film avoids probing the degree to which money can insulate untalented artists from realizing that they are no good at what they do.

Remembering designer Michael Thompson (27 March 1958 15 August 2016)  

It is with a heavy, heavy heart that I write these words today.

The renowned Jamaican born designer, illustrator, social activist and artist, Michael Thompson aka “Freestylee” has passed away at the age of 57 from a heart attack.

Although I never met Michael in the flesh, we certainly connected spiritually as fellow African diaspora creatives, and virtually through a wonderful, long Skype conversation we shared in the Spring of 2013 just after I had interviewed him for my Design Week “Four Corners” column.

I was extremely excited to discover Michael's work, which was so accomplished in every way. Excelling specifically in the medium of poster design, he represented the roots culture of his Caribbean island birthplace with an artistic flair and design sensibility that stands up against the work of any of his more celebrated European counterparts.

International Reggae Hall of Fame Museum

It was an incredible talent that was equally matched by his ambition to realise an International Reggae Hall of Fame Museum in Kingston Jamaica, designed by the visionary architect, Frank Gehry.

Using an international reggae poster design competition, as a creative vehicle to publicise and to engage with audiences from all over the world in his bold vision, the competition has gone from strength to strength and is now in its 6^th year.

In that time, Michael himself designed over 500 posters representing Jamaican musical and cultural icons while highlighting the many social and humanitarian causes that touched his heart and fuelled his creative passions.

The lifeblood of his work will live on

Though his heart may have stopped beating, I have no doubt that the lifeblood of his work will live on through his creative compatriot, Maria; the many artists and designers around the world who were inspired by his actions; and his talented son, Dane Thompson, who is an illustrator and designer in his own right.

It is a sentiment that is echoed by those who knew and worked with him such as Patricia Chin, co-founder of VP Records, the world's premier reggae and Caribbean music label and distributor, whose beautiful words I leave with you now.

“Michael, your heart was overflowing with love for all mankind. You may have left us but your spirit lives on through your beautiful work,” she says.

JKR's WKD redesign aims for “gender inclusive” look and feel  

JKR has designed new branding for alcopop brand WKD, featuring an entirely redrawn logo and showing a marked departure since the most recent redesign unveiled in May 2015.

The new identity is centred around an exclamation concept to represent the brand's “sense of fun and excitement,” according to JKR, and is launching to coincide with the vodka-based drink's 20th birthday.

WKD parent company SHS Drinks brought in several consultancies to pitch for the project, aiming for a new look that better reflects the attitudes of the brand's 18 to 24-year-old target audience. JKR was appointed in April this year, and reinvented the brand across all visual touchpoints and packaging.

“Big gap in consumer interests and demands”

JKR says, “Research revealed a big gap in consumer interests and demands since the brand launched in 1996, so a revitalised brand design and visual identity was required in order to engage this audience.”

The exclamation mark concept was chosen as a subtle reference to the previous WKD branding's rectangular device, which now appears elongated down the bottle above a circle. This new dot shape is used across the identity, acting as a holding divide for flavour information or as a flexible icon across other channels.

Adam Swan, design director at JKR, says, “Vibrancy and bright colours have always been part of the WKD story but this reinvented design unlocks that vibrancy and takes it one step further, bringing the passion, fun and excitement of the brand to life.”

“Inspired by oil-painting”

New bolder typography is used, appearing as transparent to show the drink colour on Blue and Iron Brew variants, and acts as a holding device for a brushstroke pattern “inspired by oil-painting,” according to JKR, on the Berry and Passion Fruit flavours.

Bottle caps in bright contrasting colours feature simple icons and designs such as smiley faces, winking faces and hearts, aiming to “further emphasise the element of fun,” says JKR.

The redesigned bottles will roll out in October this year with a range of four flavours Blue, Iron Brew, Berry and Passion Fruit, renamed from Blush. The brand is also set to launch two new low-calorie variants at the end of this year.

Study: Liberals suck at spelling, conservatives love profanity  

We're just over 70 days from the presidential election and things are heating up. In heated conversation and debate, it's not uncommon to drop the occasional four-letter word. It seems, however, that Trump supporters are dropping a lot more of them than Clinton supporters. To conduct the study, Grammarly analyzed comments in the largest Reddit communities for both candidates. Overall, there were a lot of similarities, save for one major difference — Trump supporters are more apt to use profanity. In fact, Trump's supporters dropped four-letter words 135 percent more often than Clinton supporters. While the latter used the word “shit”…

The eggplant emoji wants you to go fuck yourself — literally  

From its modest start as a lowly edible to its meteoric rise as a phallic symbol, the eggplant is undoubtedly a the star of the emoji world. And now it's going places few emoji (presumably) have ever seen… literally. What started as a joke eventually led creator Jaime Jandler to create the ‘Emojibator' — a real-life representation of the beloved emoji in vibrator form. Janderl told Cosmopolitan: I wanted to create a culturally relevant and classic product, and this really hit the mark on both. It's also a great way to add a touch of humor to anyone's sex toy collection.

Two months ago, the White House first announced its Equal Play Pledge — a plan to end the salary gap between men and women in the private sector. Today, on Women's Equality Day, 29 new signatures were added to a growing chorus of companies who demand equal pay for both sexes. A total of 29 companies signed the pledge — as announced by the White House today — and committed to conducting company-wide pay analyses annually and review hiring and promotion practices within their respective companies. Facebook, Apple, IBM and Microsoft have all signed the pledge, bringing the number of signatories to 57.…

If it seems like we're saying the same thing every year, it's because we are. Again, Apple is weeks away from releasing a new phone without the supply to meet the expected demand. At this point, it's tradition. This year's supply shortage is more of the same as recent years and it directly boils down to shortages in the supply chain. Citing sources familiar with the matter, Asian publication Nikkei also details a fair number of “faulty components” that could impact availability at launch. According to an industry source: If Apple sticks to its launch schedule from last year, there…

The fight between Spotify and Apple Music has been heating up for some time, but today things just got ugly — childish even. Citing sources familiar with Spotify strategy, Bloomberg today detailed Spotify's push to punish artists that release music as an Apple exclusive. Lately, the “exclusive” game has been heating up as popular artists like Kanye West and Taylor Swift release music on other platforms with an exclusivity window. Once the window expires, it comes to Spotify. Now, Spotify is biting back by making these musicians harder to find on its own platform. In the pay-per-play world of online streaming, this…

Yesterday Apple released an emergency fix to try to stamp out the so-called ‘Trident' vulnerabilities. The multiple-headed monster exposed your device through not one, but three distinct vulnerabilities. Once accessed, these sensitive areas of iOS acted as an opportunity to remotely jailbreak an iOS device through a program called ‘Pegasus.' Created by NSO Group — an Israeli cyberwarfare firm — the Pegasus vulnerability could potentially affect any iOS device running iOS 9.3.4 or older. Worse, the exploit has been in the wild for at least a month, so we're really not sure how many iPhones and iPads were infected. While you're probably…
