About Giki Social Enterprise
The idea for Giki came in 2016 when co-founders, and husband and wife, James and Jo Hand were continually struck by how they, their friends and many people they spoke to were struggling to find products that aligned with their own values. Giki was then started in 2017 with an aim to build a prototype to see if there was an simple, intuitive way to link people directly to information that they cared about beyond price and brand. After a successful beta the launch for Giki's app was then ready for Spring 2018.
A social enterprise is a business that has a clear social or environmental mission, reinvests the majority of any profits it makes back into the pursuit of that mission and which is run in an accountable and transparent way. Giki Social Enterprise has written our mission into our governing documents and is a Social Enterprise UK certified member.
How Giki develops depends very much on what our users are asking for. However, our plan includes more badges and lots more content about sustainable, healthy and fair living. We'd also like to include smaller brands and work towards a way for people to measure how they are becoming more sustainable over time.
Our mission is to encourage sustainable consumption by inspiring people to make small, regular changes in their shopping which are good for them, better for the environment and fairer to others. Our vision is that all products and services become sustainable so really we want every product on the market to be awarded as many badges as possible.
Giki Social Enterprise is an independent company and our aim is to help consumers better understand the products they buy. However, we are always open to improvement and so will listen to advice and comments from brands and retailers and also work to ensure our data is as accurate as possible.
About the app
At the moment we don't link directly to a shopping list that allows you to buy products. If that's a feature you'd like to see then let us know. Even better if you know a lightweight way to do it…
We want to make it easy for everyone to make small regular changes and by suggesting alternatives we hope to support this. Some may be direct comparisons, other a little more quirky! For our alternatives we are always looking for products with more badges in a similar category. However, if the product is already awarded the top number of badges in its category then we show a few other options.
Yes. Free to download, free to scan a product. As a social enterprise our primary goal is to encourage more sustainable consumption.
Awarding Badges
Giki has set up an independent Advisory Board that reviews how we award badges. The Board meets quarterly and also reviews feedback from companies and users. The Board is made up of experts in sustainability, nutrition, worker rights, certification and supply chains and includes people with experience at both NGOs and companies. Current representatives include members from WWF, Oxfam and CDP.
That is totally up to you. Some people look at all the badges, some have a particular favourite and some look at all of them but know there are one or two badges that are "must haves". The idea behind Giki is to allow users to buy inline with their own values and beliefs.
However, following feedback from our users we introduced "Hero Products" in August 2019 with the aim of combining badges to find the most sustainable and healthy products in the UK supermarket. Buying a basket of these products should help people to reduce their environmental impact compared to the average.
We award fourteen different badges split into these areas:
Sustainability: better packaging; responsible sourcing; kinder cleaning; greener cosmetics; local; organic; carbon footprint; sustainable palm oil
Health: free from additives; no chemicals of concern; healthier options
Fairness: animal welfare; animal testing
Hero products: a combination of badges to find the most sustainable and healthy products in the UK supermarket.
See our page www.gikibadges.com/how-we-rate-products for full details.
Not necessarily, it just means that we could not find evidence to award a badge. A badge gets awarded when we have publicly available, confirmatory evidence that a product fits the criteria we use. Therefore sometimes a "greyed out" badge could be simply that we don't have the information (e.g. a product is made in the U.K. but it's not made clear on the label) and at other times we have the information but our criteria are not met (e.g. high sugar content in a drink).
Please tell us. We are a small team but we are committed to improve our ratings over time and be transparent about how we are doing it. Therefore if you spot anything that does not look right please let us know.
When working out whether packaging is recyclable we look for standardised information on the label (e.g. Card – widely recycled) and other hints that the packaging can go in the recycling bin (e.g. "our bottles are 100% recyclable"). However, we were not picking up loose fruit and veg as it does not have any information on the label for us to use. We've now fixed this so you always get a recyclable packaging badge for loose fruit and veg. Why? Because if you take your own bag then any leftovers are the most naturally recyclable, compostable packaging you can find. Tell us if you see examples where it's not working.
New products
We continue to add new products every week that are coming from users. The response has been fantastic. The two main companies they come from are M&S and Tesco as we don't have good coverage of their products as well as lots of interesting products from smaller brands.
UK made
With the move from Local to UK made we've also been thinking about ingredient provenance. At the moment it is not possible, across large number of products, to work out where all the ingredients came from and, as a result, we've gone for made in the UK (which can include using imported ingredients) as our way of deciding on a badge. The exception to this is where we have evidence from single ingredient foods that the ingredients came from outside the UK (e.g. "packed in the UK using chicken from Thailand") or we know that they cannot come from the UK (e.g. tea and coffee). Over time we want to improve this and also find a way to bring back the local badge uncovering products that are made in your local area.
One other small bit of news is that we've added the Organic Farmer's and Growers association to our Organic badge. We look for independent, rigorous and transparent certification and OF&G is also DEFRA regulated.
June 2018
Local to UK Made
The main improvement highlighted comes directly from user feedback. We currently use our local badge to mean products that are made in the UK. However, users have told us that this is the one badges they find a bit confusing as to many local means some different. For example some people might consider it to be within 10 miles, within a drive, within the county or within their region but it does not cover all of the country.
We're always listening and so the name of the badge, that highlights products made in the UK, will be UK Made.
Finding products which are made in the UK is a constant task for us. Sometime companies are very explicit (e.g. country of origin: UK) but sometimes it's less structured and clear. Whilst many of us love brands that have a unique nature we need to find these one-by-one to make sure we're capturing as many UK products as possible. Some of our favourites include "hand made in a wild wood" and "lovingly made in Yorkshire". This month it was the turn of Irn Bru which says it's "Bru'd" in Scotland.
May 2018
Adding new Animal testing third party logos
We are adding NATRUE and BDIH to the third party logos that we look for in order to award the no animal testing badge. Both have a fixed cut off date, their policies cover ingredients as well as end product and they are independent organisations.
NATRUE for example states, "NATRUE does not support tests of cosmetic products and their ingredients on animals and we believe that effort must be made to avoid the use of animals for cosmetic testing globally. Furthermore, all our members do not perform animal tests on their products or ingredients and do not ask others to test on their behalf unless required by law. "
From BDIH, "It is prohibited to carry out or commission another party to carry out animal testing – not only when manufacturing products, but also when developing and controlling the end products."
Water is a healthier option
Certain categories of food and drink are always healthier options. These include fruit and veg and now also water. This includes both still and sparkling water although keep an eye on the recycling logo and consider a refill!
Our ratings draw on a number of different sources including on pack information; government guidelines and scientific research. We draw this data into our database which then algorithmically scores each product against all the badge options to create the individual product information. As a result we crunch millions of data points to provide our easy-to-use badges helping consumers to quickly get the information they want on products beyond price and brand.
Our ratings draw on a number of different sources including on pack information; government guidelines and scientific research. We draw this data into our database which then algorithmically scores each product against all the badge options to create the individual product information. Our how we rate products page has lots more info.
Not at the moment but…watch this space. Our belief is that people buy products from companies. As such we need to cover everything from the issues that users care about, to the products they buy and the ethics of the companies that they buy from.
If a badge has been awarded then it appears in full colour. Green for sustainability, red for health and blue for fairness.
If a badge is greyed out then it means the product could have won a badge but that we could not find the information to suggest that the badge should be awarded.
This is something we grapple with continuously. On the one hand it is almost impossible to present the entire spectrum of arguments in a simple, intuitive manner. However, at the same time it is that same information overload that is making it hard for people to find products that fit with their values and beliefs. We hope that by providing easy to understand badges, whilst at the same time being transparent about how those badges were awarded, users can decide for themselves and, where they want to, do further research into these complex issues.
Here is a blog we wrote on the subject called "Simple but not Simplistic".
Product information
Some supermarket own label, and many smaller brands, are not currently included in the app. You can help to get them included by filling out our easy to use (but long!) form which we will then verify. If a smaller brand wants to add data then please get in touch.
We cover over 280,000 supermarket products across food, drink, cosmetics and household products. We rate those products in three main areas: health (red), sustainability (green) and fairness (blue). We award fourteen different badges split into these areas:
Sustainability: better packaging; responsible sourcing; kinder cleaning; greener cosmetics, UK made, organic, sustainable palm oil, low carbon footprint
Health: free from additives; no chemicals of concern, healthier options
Fairness: animal welfare; animal testing
We also award a Hero Product badge to the most sustainable and healthy products in the supermarket.
Whilst we have data from many of the UK's leading supermarkets there are some which we don't have yet. These include Aldi, Lidl and Iceland. We would very much like to include them in our data and if you agree let us know. In the meantime users can add their own products to the app.
Sustainable Palm Oil
There are three main reasons this will happen. The most common for large companies is that they don't report on their palm oil usage to the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). In order to award a sustainable palm oil badge we need to analyse what type of palm oil a company uses. If they don't report it then we cannot verify it. We believe that transparency around palm oil usage is a crucial first step towards sustainable palm oil production.
The second reason is that we have not managed to make the link between a product and its owner. With over one hundred thousand of products across thousands of brands this remains a difficult task. We have already linked many thousands of products and will continue to research more ways to make the links.
Finally it might simply be that the product is new or has recently been updated or reformulated. There is a constant flow of new products into UK supermarkets and we aim to be able to show them within a few months of their release.
There are two reasons we award a badge. Either we believe that the company itself can be awarded a sustainable palm oil badge or the product is certified as using sustainable palm oil. For the company we look at how the type of palm oil they use and whether they are committed to sustainable palm oil by 2020. For the product we look for certification from the RSPO or organic certification.
This is an entirely person decision.
However, a number of NGOs support sustainable palm oil because 1) Replacing palm oil with other types of vegetable oil (such as sunflower, soybean or rapeseed oil) would mean that much larger amounts of land would need to be used, since palm trees produce 4-10 times more oil than other crops per unit of cultivated land. 2) In producing countries, millions of farmers and their families work in the palm oil sector. 3) Replacing palm oil with other types of oil is not always feasible due to palm oil's unique properties as a food ingredient.
However, some people still choose to avoid palm oil because they are not confident that palm oil can be truly sustainable, the deem that the impacts of palm oil plantations on other species are just too great or that they believe the rules around sustainable palm oil don't go far enough especially in relation to deforestation.
We only apply the badges to products where we can find palm oil, or some of its derivatives, in the ingredients list. As a result if there is no badge appearing (in green or greyed out) then we could not find any palm oil. If you spot any we've missed please contact us.
This is an area where we will listen to our users. There are some categories, such as confectionery, cosmetics and biscuits where palm oil is more prevalent and so this is an area where some people might want to see a palm oil free badge. Have your say here.

I agree with "KathyCooks1943"Burgers are more "meatloaf" than burger. (3 star reason).Keep the burgers simple and it's a winner. BBQ sauce couldn't be easier, will definitely make again.
Jun 24, 2019
I've been making this every summer for our bbq parties - a huge hit with all ages.
Apr 27, 2018
Made this burger tonight, turned out very well! Very juicy, and flavorful. I don't love bbq sauce but I enjoyed this bbq sauce. Will be making again for sure, already have the recipe written down.
Mar 6, 2018
The BBQ sauce is very nice. However, I thought the hamburgers tasted like meatloaf. I do not like meatloaf. Hubby said they were "ok". Won't make again. Sorry. With all those 5 star reviews I thought I had a winner. Lost out on this one.

I made this recipe as directed except I threw a drizzle of siriracha into the barbecue sauce and it was too delicious then I thought the hamburger was lacking something so I threw a package of onion soup mix into it and made meatloaf out of it 'cause I was feeling kind of lazy Omgosh I will make this again and again yummy yummy yummy

Loved this recipe. Will be keeping this recipe for sure. The sauce was very tasty and the burger was nice and moist.

its a delicious one..i hve tried it....best food ever...for more reviews :- http://justinreviews.org

We really love these burgers! They have so much flavor.
Apr 19, 2017
Outstanding! Really, these are seriously good! Best burger I've ever made. I used 1 lb of 85% grass fed ground beef and followed recipe as written. I happen to love BBQ burgers, but have never seen my partner eat one, so I was skeptical she'd like it. Thankfully, she loved it and said it was the best burger she's ever had...and we eat a lot of burgers! She didn't add extra sauce, but I did.The sauce is great...if you like Sweet Baby Ray's, you'll love this. If you like your BBQ sauce with a little kick, add some hot sauce or cayenne. 1 lb of meat made 6, 3-1/2 oz patties, about 5" round and 5/8" thick. We cooked 2 on our griddle and froze the rest for another time. Next time, I'll grill up 4 patties so we can have double meat for a heartier meal. If you like thicker burgers, you might want to make 4 with 1 lb meat. This is most definitely a keeper!

text: Henri Dutilleux (born 1916) indicates his French nationality through his light and mercurial textures. His music is harmonically based and expressed through the most fastidious colours. Dutilleux is a perfectionist, someone who crafts every note and sound. Although Dutilleux has great concern for every detail heard the CDs cover is a succinct illustration of this such perfectionism does not prevent his music being emotional, vibrant and communicative. All the music here was written for great American orchestras. Metaboles (1964), for George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra, is a set of studies ranging from the deeply beautiful Lineaire (for strings) to more dynamic and rhythmic movements that are energetic and scored brilliantly with much subtlety and incident. Symphony No.2, Le Double, composed for the Boston Symphony and Charles Munch in 1959, is a three-movement, 30-minute piece cast as a classical symphony of motivic transformation. A novel part of its scoring is a small group of players that forms a separate ensemble, which sits in front of the full orchestra, of string quartet, oboe, B flat clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, harpsichord, celesta and timpani. This distinction between an instrumental troupe and full orchestra is not that of the concerto grosso, rather it allows material-interplay between the two groups; hence the symphonys sub-title. Its an absorbing work of contrasts and variegation. The slow movement is of hypnotic stillness, while the syncopated finale seems to suggest Dutilleuxs love of swing bands. The Shadows of Time (1997) is also for the Boston Symphony, this time Seiji Ozawa. Time-conscious and humanitarian in its digest, Dutilleux remembers Anne Frank and those who perished at Hiroshima, a wood-block measuring time passing. Its a troubled score in search of consolation. Dutilleux asks Why? and includes childrens voices in his tapestry of resonance. All these performances are of the highest quality vital, accurate and committed. The characteristically French instrumental timbres that the Toulouse Orchestra has thankfully retained are attractive in themselves; for all the transatlantic impulse of the music, the French musicians soundworld is apposite to Dutilleuxs invention. The recording is superb, the acoustic of Halle-aux-Grains sympathetic to the quietest or fullest sounds. The orchestra is positioned exactly in a discernible space. Balance between sections is excellent with plenty of impact, instrumental clarity and tonal distinctiveness double basses, for example, veiled or growling, or rasping trombones and skirling piccolo. The placing of the soloists in Le Double allows the interchange of material to be as lucid as possible. Dynamic shifts are dramatic, the focus and impact of tuttis is as exciting as the music itself. Michel Plasson has meticulously prepared his Orchestra. That the composer was present at the sessions (in 1998, Symphony, and 2001) only adds to the sense of occasion that this CD documents and relays.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands - Stephen Harper and his fellow G7 leaders are suspending their participation in the Group of Eight until Russia "changes course" in eastern Europe and eases tensions in the most ominous crisis to grip the region since the Cold War.
The prime minister joined the leaders of the U.S., Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan in their united front Monday, isolating Russia as punishment for last week's annexation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula.
Russia appeared to brushed off the spectre of being kicked out of the G8 amid political, diplomatic and military developments that have Europeans fearing a dangerous escalation of the conflict.
But Harper urged the world not to be fooled by Russian President Vladimir Putin's apparent ambivalence towards the G7's actions.
"The cavalier reaction of Putin is to strut everywhere and shrug off any response; that's just how he handles these things," Harper said.
"Russia's increasing diplomatic isolation ... we don't believe is trivial. A regime does not spend $50 billion on the Olympics if it does not care about its international reputation. This is meaningful action."
The G7 leaders also said they're preparing to "intensify actions" against Russia if Moscow escalates the conflict in southeastern Ukraine any further.
That could include targeting Russia's lucrative energy sector, Harper suggested. White House officials have said U.S. President Barack Obama is prepared to inflict widespread penalties against key sectors of Russia's economy, including its energy industry, if Putin dares move into southeastern Ukraine.
"We know there are a number of vulnerabilities and sensitivities, we know energy's important, and that's why we're determined to continue to work over the long term and to develop a plan that will be effective," Harper said.
"This illegal occupation of Crimea — the reaction is not going to be brief. This is going to be an ongoing pressure to indicate that a large part of the world community is simply never going to accept this."
Earlier Monday, Ukraine told its remaining troops in the Crimean peninsula to leave the Black Sea region because it's too dangerous to remain.
Russian troops are amassing on the southeastern border of Ukraine. There are fears Moscow could use the unrest in the eastern reaches of the country, where there's a large Russian minority, as a pretext for crossing the border.
In an unexpected development on Monday, Sergey Lavrov — Russia's foreign minister — met in The Hague with his Ukrainian counterpart.
That's the highest level of contact between the two countries since Russia made a play for Crimea. American officials cautiously welcomed the meeting, but said Russia must do more to ease tensions.
Some European G7 members have been reticent about tougher economic sanctions against Moscow because Europe does far more trade with Russia and many European economies are still fragile following the 2008 global economic recession.
But German Chancellor Angela Merkel has recently shifted towards the North American stance, reportedly fed up with false assurances Putin gave her about Crimea.
"As long as the political environment for the G8 is not at hand, as is the case at the moment, there is no G8 — neither as a concrete summit meeting or even as a format for meetings," Merkel said before the summit, which took place at the Dutch prime minister's official residence.
Harper, meantime, said economic concerns will have to take a back seat as the West determines how to respond to Russian aggression.
"Within the context of Canadian foreign policy, we will do what we can to maximize the commercial opportunities for our firms," the prime minister told a roundtable with Dutch business representatives.
"But," he continued, "we will not shape our foreign policy to commercial interests."
When it comes to a global security crisis such as that unfolding in Ukraine, Harper said, "business people have to be aware that there may be risks to them and the government will take those risks, because at those points in times the government's foreign and security policy priorities become paramount."
The summit came shortly after Russia announced a travel ban on 13 Canadian politicians and officials in retaliation for travel and economic sanctions Canada imposed earlier this month.
The list is a mixed bag that includes the Speaker of the Commons, a cabinet minister, MPs noted for their support for human rights, a senator known for her work on Canadian-Ukrainian relations and the head of a Ukrainian-Canadian organization. Some have recently travelled to Ukraine.
The politicians are: Speaker Andrew Scheer; Peter Van Loan, the government House leader; Tory MPs Dean Allison, Ted Opitz, and James Bezan; Liberal MPs Irwin Cotler and Chrystia Freeland; NDP MP Paul Dewar; and Conservative Sen. Raynell Andreychuk.
The officials are: Wayne Wouters, clerk of the Privy Council; Jean-Francois Tremblay, deputy secretary to the cabinet; and Christine Hogan, assistant secretary to the cabinet. Paul Grod, national president of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, rounded out the list of the banned.
"I was expelled from the Soviet Union in 1979," Cotler tweeted. "I did not stop fighting for human rights then, nor will I stop now."
Harper is the only G7 leader who has personally witnessed the devastation in Kyiv and spoken face-to-face with Ukraine's new leadership.
The prime minister has called for a "complete reversal" of Russia's annexation of Crimea and has also warned long and loudly that Putin cannot be trusted. He's also cautioned that Putin's actions will spur similar brazen territory grabs if they go unpunished.
One observer — Ken Brill, former U.S. ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency — said while Putin might publicly shrug off an expulsion from the G8, it will privately "rankle" the Russian leader.
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. An earlier version identified Andreychuk as a Liberal.

Greg's newest 5-star book is entitled Secrets of a Secret Shopper and is bestseller in the Church Growth category. This book is on the ministry of hospitality, first impressions, and guest services for the local church written for pastors and church leaders. This book covers ten areas of focus including online presence, parking, signage, children's ministry, security, and others.
The whole focus of this very practical book is to teach you how to reach and keep church guests. Greg's passion is helping you turn first-time guests into second-time guests. If you'd like to be a more welcoming and inviting church, this book is for you.
If you'd like to learn more about the book before purchasing it, go HERE to view the book's website.
Greg's third book is called Strange Leadership and it's been called "an encyclopedia on innovation." This 5 star book became an Amazon Bestseller two weeks before it's official release date and has been featured on Pastors.com, ChurchLeaders.com, Catalyst, ChurchCentral, FaithVillage, XPastor.org, RonEdmondson.com, ExPastors.com and in Rick Warren's newsletter.
Are you a leader in a Christian organization? Is your church, ministry, or business lacking innovation? Perhaps you're experienced in trying new things and moving in new ways, but you haven't ever tried anything strange. Truly innovative leaders are often considered strange. Don't settle for everyday leadership; immerse yourself in Strange Leadership!
Greg gives 40 different ways the Bible teaches us to be strange leaders. Greg pulls from Scripture to illuminate these concepts and, from the words and writings of other leaders, to drive them home. Strange Leadership is practically an encyclopedia on the subject of innovation. Go HERE to check out the book's website and download free resources for your team, including a Team Discussion Guide.
Greg's second book is entitled Church Leadership Essentials and was published through Rainer Publishing. This book was named #62 on The Top 100 Best-Selling Church Leadership Books list published HERE. From the description on Amazon:Â Think of this book as a toolbox full of leadership tools for pastors and other church leaders. Greg Atkinson has the uncanny ability to get to the heart of issues, and offer solutions and resolutions in a practical and meaningful way. He packs 34 key leadership principles into concise but powerful chapters. This book is the vital leadership training that many seminaries fail to offer. It can revolutionize your ministry.
Greg wrote this 5 Star book to help people who either went to seminary and quickly found out they didn't teach you everything you need to know and for pastors and church leaders who never got to go to school, but need to learn essential principles, lessons and leadership practices in the church. This book is based on Greg's 20 years in ministry and we pray it will be a blessing to you.

A similar fate befell one of the men found responsible for the political murder of Bishop Juan Gerardi on April 26 1998. This was Seargeant Major Obdulio Villanueva who, as Goldman reports, encountered a form of justice five years later in the Centro Preventivo:
"They hacked off the top of Villanueva's skull with a machete. Psycho scooped up Villanueva's brain matter with his hands and flung it into the faces of the cornered Sector 7 prisoners, screaming "Bring us Lima!" But Lima was nowhere to be found. They seized on a felt soldier doll that Lima kept by his bunk. The cholos decapitated the doll and shoved its head inside Villanueva's decapitated head, in through the neck and up, so that the doll's face showed through the brain matter."
Villanueva is one of the more interesting figures in this complex drama, especially for us. For it was he who had earlier carried out an on-the-spot execution of the milk delivery man employed by La Finca Carmona, the vast estate just outside Antigua where V was born. (Indeed, her father used to run the dairy business there.)
The name of this unfortunate milkman was Sas Rompich and on that day in February 1996 he'd made the fatal mistake of having a few Gallos before setting off along a road on which President Álvaro Arzú was gently hacking with his wife alongside him, with his EMP bodyguards - Villanueva included - in tow. Captain Lima, another one of the future Bishop-bashers, attempted to hault the on-coming Isuzu and ended up falling off his horse and breaking an arm. Goldman relates what happened next:
"The pickup then crashed into a parked car by the side of the road. Apparently confused and panicked, the milkman accelerated, then rocked into reverse, and another officer jumped onto the pickup's running board and reached in for the ignition, trying to bring the vehicle under control. Someone else shot out the rear tyres. A guardsman drove his car against the front of the pickup, blocking it, and someone went right up to the pickup with a nine-millimeter pistol in his hand, reached in through the window, and fired three bullets into the milkman, including one into his ear, killing him instantly."
The version(s) of events I had heard from locals before reading Goldman's book was significantly different, but such is the delight of Chapin anecdotology. Only last night V filled me in on another gruesome local incident which involved a naked corpse and extensive fingernail scratches on the wooden door of a house in San Bartolo.
Anyway, the man with the 9mm was Villanueva and for this act of over-keenness in defence of his head of state he was eventually sentenced to do some jail time here in Antigua. Indeed on the night of the Gerardi killing he should have been in his cell, which anywhere other than Guatemala would be a reasonably water-tight alibi. It turns out however that the prison authorities' only non-negotiable stipulation for their charges was that they attend the morning roll call, and the Sergeant Major had been known to spend nights outside in Antigua's hotels.
Thomas Jones's LRB review of this book provides a strictly chronological account of the murder, investigation, trial and appeals process, thereby indirectly revealing that Goldman's story is so much more than this. The Guatemalan-born novelist has a broader scope in mind and successfully uses this most infamous event in the country's recent history to paint a fascinating and broad picture of my new homeland...even if some of it is tainted by the sensationalism outsiders are occasionally prone to! [That dastardly Captain Lima should have an army doll with him in his prison cell is just one of many dazzling little details that we are treated to, for which we have to thank Goldman's native storytelling sensibilities I'm sure.]
Two men I nevertheless continue to admire come out rather badly it has to be said. One is Álvaro Arzú, our neighbour and now Guatemala City alcalde, who as President was most probably at least vaguely aware of what was about to go down....or so Goldman insinuates. The other is Mario Vargas Llosa, who wrote a rave review in El Pais for a book which exonerates the military entirely from blame in the death of the clergyman who just the day before had blamed them almost entirely for the majority of atrocities committed during the civil war. (Arzú, it seems hasn't himself been above handing out free copies of Who Killed the Bishop? by Bertrand De la Grange and Maite Rico.)
One of the juicier, more overtly chismoso parts of Goldman's investigation makes mention of a casa de citas in Zone 2 run by the mysterious gilded oligarch and femme fatale Martha Jane Melville Novella, linked via a series of expensive gifts to Gerardi's twisted housemate Father Mario Orantes (now doing time as an accomplice in the murder - he is thought to have let Lima, Villanueva and the 'shirtless man' into the Bishop's residence that night) and to Arzú's son Diego who apparently belonged to this upmarket homosexual 'tryst house' circle. With a hefty dose of supposition, Goldman also links Arzú's other son Diego to "a disco nightclub owned by EMP officers in Zone 14, where trafficked and heavily consumed. Someone who possessed information about all this, and who was himself in a powerful position - a general, for example - would be able to bend a number of people to his will, including the President."

Some Voting Laws Will Be Decided By Voters
Arizona voters will get a chance to decide whether to overturn some new state voting regulations.
The Secretary of State's Office says there are more than enough petition signatures to put the issue on the ballot. It would make it a crime for volunteers to collect ballots and allows early voter rolls to be purged of those who continually fail to mail in their ballots.
Referendum spokesman Robbie Sherwood says the measure would stop what backers see as a power play by elected officials.
"To make criminals out of, out of campaign volunteers, or to ah, scheme a system so that third parties can't get on the ballot or to try to prevent initiatives from getting on the ballot," Sherwood said.
By certifying the measure for the ballot, Sherwood says the Secretary of State's Office has put the law, passed earlier this year, on hold.

The Owners, the Workers...and the Street
Ever wonder why historically there have not been huge, vibrant Filipinotowns like there are Chinatowns or Koreatowns in the U.S.?
Well, the clue lies in Filipino history. As a colony of Spain for over 300 years and the U.S. for half a century (at least formally), Filipinos have historically been working people (in the socioeconomic status sense) at the service of Western economic powers.
As during the periods of colonization, Filipinos continue to provide an important source of global labor for economic powers hungry for workers. Especially with our experiences in the U.S., we have proudly labored as farmworkers, bellhops, plantation laborers, nurses, navy stewards, postal workers, airport security, caregivers, and babysitters. Simply put, Filipinos have not been given the resources and capital that other Asian groups have in order to be "owners" in the U.S. (For example, refer to the history of post-WWII Korea and bilateral U.S. foreign aid to that country, which in turn translated to Korean entrepreneurship in the U.S.). So although Filipino businesses do indeed flourish especially in dense Filipino areas such as Daly City, Carson, or Jersey City, they do not flourish nearly to the extent of Korean or Chinese businesses (and other nationalities with entrepreneurial capital). Neither do Filipinos have the extensive network of ethnic loan lenders that other Asian groups enter the U.S. with. The histories of each country are very different, and the Philippines cannot be examined without its connected history with Spain and the U.S., and the racialization and economic subordination that comes along with that history.
A cousin of mine from the East Coast recently told me a story of a panel discussion on "Asians and Hip Hop Culture" that occurred at his university. One black student mentioned the irony of East Asian (Korean, Chinese, Japanese) youth's fascination with hip hop culture, because of the sometimes antagonistic relationship between East Asian groups and blacks and Latinos. (Let's assume here for the sake of this entry that blacks and Latinos are seen as the main representatives of hip hop culture). She made the exception for Filipinos, "who seem to get along better with blacks and Latinos." Filipinos' history of colonization, their subsequent position as workers in a racially segmented U.S. society, and their unlikelihood to occupy the "owner" status in racially segregated ghettos may give us clues to how Filipinos "get along" better with blacks and Latinos.
I'm not saying that by virtue of interacting with working class people of color, that Filipinos get along with them and perhaps share cultural habits. Although this may be true for some Filipinos who work alongside people of color (many nurses, postal workers, navy stewards, etc. are black, Mexican, Puerto Rican, etc.), the bigger point I'm trying to make is that the power relationships that place workers who perform "menial" labor subordinate to bosses, owners, entrepreneurs, and "white collar" professions stratifies the economy in terms of power and prestige, especially in urban areas where race relations can be tense. This stratification has an abundant history of racialization (race being a way to differentiate, exclude, and marginalize people in society). The way we talk, shoot the shit, interact, dance, make music, make art, and identify with one another are greatly informed by the imagined relationship we have with relative groups in a racialized, stratified economy. Peep Linda Espana-Maram's look at the youth culture of Filipino farm workers in the 1920s-1950s. Filipinos vibed alongside Mexicans and blacks in the dance scenes at the time. You can watch Apl.de.ap's "Bebot Generation 1" music video to get a fictional glimpse of that scene. (Also read up on the "Zoot Suit Riots" for the violence against Mexicans, blacks, and Filipinos in that scene).
So when the panelist made the comment about Filipinos "getting along" with blacks and Latinos, that needs to be examined in the context of the culture of working people. (As a note: no matter if Filipinos live with two car garages in the 'burbs, we know Filipino parents often work their asses off with overtime to attain a level of luxury). Not so much for Filipino parents, who may harbor racial prejudice against blacks and Latinos inherited from the U.S. colony (the Philippines), but the second-generation and young Filipino immigrants must deal with the racial politics of the schoolyard and therefore may be more sensitive to their position in a highly racialized society. The nature of their parents' labor (as sons and daughters of navy stewards, nurses, postal workers, etc. who work alongside other people of color) may provide important clues to how youth imagine their racial and economic position among their East Asian peers who are more likely to be (or perceived to be) owners or "white" collar (especially in urban areas). In addition, the perception of Filipinos in the eyes of blacks and Latinos may be less antagonistic as with other Asian groups because the owner/non-owner relationship is not as severe for Filipinos in urban areas; instead, they occupy similar spaces of labor.
I know the situation is more complex than what I have written about above, but I just extend this idea as one of many explanations of Filipinos' alignment with other people of color and their cultural productions. Your thoughts...
3 comments:
Hey good post! Sorry I'm just commenting now. I realize the racial politics of Guam, where I'm from, is so different from that of the mainland U.S. So my thoughts are always changing as I'm trying to figure out how Filipinos and other people of color interact whether here, abroad, back in the PI, etc. On Guam, we never really thought about black-white-Filipino race relations... well more so because the AfAms and the Caucasians usually stuck to the military bases. Instead, it was always this hierarchy between all of the Asian/Pacific Islander ethnicities. What isn't so different, though, is the working class majority of first generation Filipinos even on Guam, and the conflicted positions of the second generation Filipinos in how they negotiate their racial and economic positions--especially where so many of us are of mixed heritage. It gets so complicated. I'm really interested in Filipino and Korean race relations. I think there's alot to write about there.
But we definitely have a "Filipino-town" back home. And keep writing, cause we're always reading. Can you just write a book already and then come lecture here in Chicago? Thanks.
p.s. I am totally driving up your hit counter.

Mad late response.
But I am actually still interested in the relationship of why there isn't as much Filipino-owned small businesses and historic Manilatowns that exist. I think its the level of assimilation and necessity that Filipinos DON'T have to rely on each other as a community to be successfull in the US. In other words, we don't got to rely on the concept of Ethnic Enclave.
I agree that colonization produced a labor-relationship where our folks' were trained as workers, not owners, but don't we have to take into account other folks who weren't given U.S. capital that established their own communities?
We can look at the Vietnamese community in New Orleans East and we have to revisit the development or functions of enclave: folks have limited english, don't have many educational transferable skills and don't have much capital. Outside the community, we see a proliferation of Vietnamese nail shops analagous to the Chinese laundries and birth of middle-men Asian American small businesses in low-income communities of color. Inside the community, we see establishment of Vietnamese-owned restaurants that are catered for Vietnamese folks, remittance delivery offices, grocery stores, pharmacies and a Vietnamese-ran Catholic Church which is its central point.
Back to the Filipino community, folks speak English, had the choice to immigrate based on economic reasons and come with a HIGH-PRIORITY to assimilate. Folks like my mom and aunt's practicing physicians, owners of their offices in PI turn to Registered Nurses in US. They have transferable skills that allow them to navigate through mainstream America and do not see a need to support Filipino-owned businesses other than the frequent stop at the Asian grocery usually owned by East Asian folks.
My personal view is Filipino parents from the first generation reinforce kids to identify any opportunity to assimilate as quick as possible, identify white and try to reinforce a racist stratification of labor by not following other people of color.

Min. Yisrael Katz points to Hamas parades and flags on Temple Mount, calls for change of policy.
by Iddo Ben Porat
Minister of Transport Yisrael Katz (Likud-Beytenu) called on his own government to allow Jews to freely ascend to the Temple Mount, and denounced the Muslim rioting on the Mount.
"All red lines have been crossed at the Temple Mount, Katz stated Thursday, and added that Hamas has taken over the Mount, carried out military parades and planted its flags on the mosques. The entry of Jews to the site, meanwhile, was barred again.
The Israeli policy is not a liberal one, he argued, and does not promote freedom of religion. Rather, it constitutes a surrender to Palestinian terrorism and incitement.
"It is the right of religious and non-religious Jews to visit the Temple Mount, Katz added. I am aware of the sensitivities and the various considerations, but what would we say if somewhere in the world, the entry of Jews would be forbidden? We must change our policy, Katz stressed.
Thousands of police and IDF troops will be on duty Thursday, as tens of thousands of Jews arrive at the Kotel (Western Wall) for the Birkat Cohanim (Blessing of the Cohanim) ceremony, a special feature of the Jewish festivals. Troops will be on special alert following the unrest on the Temple Mount Wednesday.

Vangarde Security System ~
'Peel and Steal' van break-ins have reached epidemic proportions in many parts of the UK. For the benefit of those
who are unfamiliar with the term, it is a new method of entry to van side-doors, where the top corner of the side-door
is pulled downwards, exposing the inside of the van. No tools are necessary to do this, so the burglar is in no danger of
being arrested for 'going equipped.' Once the break-in has been carried out, tools and other valuables may be easily
removed. All this takes around thirty-seconds to carry out, therefore rendering even the most advanced alarm system
or deadlocks redundant. Even if nothing of value has been left in the van, the damage caused is highly inconvenient
and costly, preventing the Tradesman from trading pending the repair work necessary.
This is where the Vangarde comes in! Our Pat. Pending system is fitted to the inside top of the van side-door, and held
securely in place using threaded inserts (supplied). The top section of the Vangarde braces up against the bodywork
above the door, which may be adjusted for different makes and models of van, thus making 'Peel and Steal' practically
impossible. It is the only product on the market specifically designed to overcome 'Peel and Steal' theft!
The Vangarde has been primarily designed to be used when the van is parked up at night, or for extended periods of
non-useage. We recommend where it is practical to back the van up to a garage, or wall in order to safeguard the rear
doors as well. A pair of Vangardes may be easily fitted from scratch to the inside of the van side-door corners within
thirty-minutes, and involves fitting four nutserts (supplied) into the inside top of the side door. The Vangarde also make
it significantly more difficult to open the door should the lock itself be compromised. Another advantage of the system
is that if you should change the vehicle, the Vangarde may be easily removed and refitted to the new van.
Once the mountings are in place, the two Vangarde plates may be fixed firmly into position on the inside corners
within a minute or two, after work, and similarly removed just as quickly the following morning.
Which Vans will it fit?
The Vangarde Van Security System is compatible with the vehicles listed below. If your vehicle is not listed below, it is
still possible that the system will fit.
Therefore we are happy to offer a full moneyback guarantee of your purchase,
in the case of the Vangarde system not fitting.
Ford Transit, Ford Transit Connect, Vauxhall Vivaro, Renault Kangoo,Citroen Berlingo, Mercedes Vito, VW
We offer various quantity discounts, for those considering bulk-buying to supply and fit the Vangarde System.
The kit comes complete with fitting instructions and all fixings necessary. A nutsert fitting tool capable of pulling M8
nutserts is also required, available separately if required (see below).

Well I am sure your daily happenings are much more interesting than my usual routine, which when I think back, bores me to death. I really wonder how I can get away doing the same thing again and again and not feel I need to change it. Anyway that's another post to ponder! Out of all, the worse thing I happen to miss is to record my boys' hold on language getting better! I simply love their babbling. And when Chinnu tries to speak, I can visualize himself thinking clearing yet finding it hard to get the right word out. Guess the many languages he is being exposed too, is the culprit. He ends up using all the language he knows in one sentence!

Writing Tips from Andrea Chapin, author of The Tutor
How would you recommend creating and getting to know your characters? I write historical fiction—some of my characters are based on real-life people, while others are invented. But the process of developing who they are is very similar for both the fact-based and the fictional characters. When I began The Tutor, I did a minimal amount of research because I didn't want the history, the facts, to get in the way of the story. As the novel progressed I did a tremendous amount of research, but at the start I was interested in developing the dynamics between my main characters, how they reacted to each other—so I hurled them into situations where their dialogue and their actions began to convey their personalities, their likes and dislikes, their anxieties and obsessions. I wrote the first fifty pages this way, so that I got to know my characters before I started soaking them with the actual history of the times. For all my characters, I bring traits of people I know, including myself. But sometimes, and this is the alchemy of the art, I don't even realize who I've brought in, what ghosts from my past I've conjured in creating these characters, until I've finished writing. Is there something you do to get into a writing mood? Somewhere you go or something you do to get thinking? Over the years I've learned that for me there are no special places I go and no special things I do to get into the mood to write: I just sit down and make myself do it. Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's very hard. There is a wonderful magic that often comes with the process of writing—the sentences or moments that seem to come out of nowhere and light up the page—but I don't think there's any magic to the act of sitting down to do it. You have to stay at it and feel as though you are stuck to that chair with Velcro. I guess I'm afraid that if I have to go to a special place or do a special thing in order to write then the process will become precious, even fetishized, and that I will lose the natural, organic impulse. I can work with kids running around me, dogs barking, piles of laundry undone, dinner waiting to be made, bills waiting to be paid, or I can work while I'm alone and there is peace and quiet. Did you always want to write? How did you start your career as an author? My first "novel" was a mystery called, well, The Mystery of the Green Glass. I wrote it in third grade, longhand, on thick yellow paper with a thick pencil. I wish I had that copy now! My third-grade teacher launched a literary magazine for her students to publish poems, short stories, and art. This was way back before computers were ever used in schools or were ever used at all. We painstakingly wrote and drew everything on mimeograph paper and then printed out copies on the mimeograph machine in the school office. I started my mystery "novel" for that magazine, and then I just kept on going. I remember the satisfaction I felt as the stack of yellow paper grew on my desk. A few years later, my stories became more personal: I'd sit on the basement stairs of our house, in the dark, and in my head I'd write very autobiographical accounts of all the dysfunctional things that were going on with my family. Decades later, after I'd published journalism and a few short stories, it was returning to my autobiographical voice and then publishing memoir pieces and personal essays that truly enabled me to find my voice and to launch my career as a writer. What's the best piece of advice you have received? Stop talking about how you're going to write—sit down and do it! Because the real learning starts when you commit yourself to putting the words down on the page. What clichés or bad habits would you tell aspiring writers to avoid? Do you still experience them yourself? For writing novels: I think it's very important to get through the first draft before you start extensive rewriting and revising. It's hard to know what that first chapter or those first several chapters need to be until you've gotten to the end of your story. I remember I wrote a novel in graduate school, and years later I looked at all the drafts of the first chapter that I'd labored over–draft after draft after draft where I tried to incorporate all the comments from my workshops and all my neurotic insecurities about a word or a sentence or tense (past or past perfect, etc.). I think I wrote at least twenty drafts of that first chapter. When I looked at them again, years later, I realized they were all pretty much the same and that I'd been like a cat licking the same patch of fur over and over again. I could have written a draft of the whole book in the time that it took me to rewrite that first chapter so many times. Learn more about The Tutor here.

Filming extreme
Behind the scenes of the latest ZEISS Hunting film production – by Daniela Holzer
Unreal – that is the best word to describe this barren landscape. Large fields with tufts of grass rising from the boggy ground alternate with rough, broken rock and ice-covered stones that make climbing a real test of courage. Within minutes, clouds are rising from the valley and obscuring the view with a light grey mist that looks like a soft filter. Just as quickly, the sky tears apart and drenches the valley in an unreal light.
The Defereggen Valley in Austria is full of sights and atmospheric light moods in late September. The spectacular scenery here provides the perfect backdrop for a film production by ZEISS Hunting, which will soon showcase innovations.more

Hunger affects thousands and reaches into our own neighborhoods. Hunger lives right next door to all of us.
There has never been a more important time to give as the Agapè Centre witnesses the greatest increase in usage since the 90's. Financial donations are just as important as food donations. We can purchase fresh food and make up for any shortfalls in donations to ensure people are getting the food that they need.
Food poverty – the lack of access to nutritious, affordable food – is very present in Cornwall. From children and seniors to the increasing number of working poor, hunger affects over a thousand individuals throughout Cornwall and area.
The Agapè Centre provides food to approximately 280 people per week through our food bank services and over 600 people per week through our soup kitchen. We serve low income residents at risk of hunger and malnutrition of which over 38% are children and 10% are senior citizens. These services are also accessed by vulnerable populations such as those with disabilities or suffering from mental illness, as well as families slipping through the hunger safety net. We also serve the working poor who make too much to collect social assistance but are unable to make ends meet, in spite of being part of the workforce.

He Said, "Make Disciples"
Some people claim that we can be Christians without necessarily becoming disciples. i wonder, then, whey the last thing Jesus told us was to go in tot world, making disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey all that He commanded? You'll notice that He didn't add, 'But hey, if that's too much to ask, tell them to just become Christians - you know, the people who get to go to heaven without having to commit to anything.'" ~ Francis Chan, Crazy Love

Message from the President, Saturday, July 27, 2019
Our website is now setup on a secure server, and we are set to expand its content as our efforts warrant. We are just getting started on the road towards our objectives.
At this point we are just seeding the idea that society can change the laws that are currently supporting the religion industry. This can be accomplished through tax law changes. The church has had special status within the law regarding taxes since Christianity was declared the official religion of the state of the Roman Empire in 380 AD. Since then, many acts of law have provided churches (defined as "places of worship") exemption from property taxes as well as giving them other monetary advantages. One such act is the "Charitable Uses Act of 1601" in England—which forms the bases of church privileges within the law of many countries of today.
Basically, any organization that is involved in the "advancement of religion" has special tax exemptions within the law. This may have been appropriate at the time, but now with all the scientific advancements over the many years, it certainly is not. We would prefer to see this misguided funding go towards more worthwhile efforts such as minimizing the effects of climate change.
Historically, each country identified with only one religion and the schooling of children involved the exposure of only that one religion. Then as the ethnicity of countries blended, schools had to become increasingly secular. Also, the scientific method was taught in public schools. As the years went by, fewer and fewer children were indoctrinated into their parent's religion. As a result of these changes, most people today do not identify with a specific religion.
You may not view property tax exemptions as significant in your life, but they are. Every taxpayer is affected by them, whether you own property or not. Basically, everything you buy is affected by property taxes. Property taxes pay for the roads leading to the property, the sidewalks, the streetlamps, etc. The more a business pays in property taxes, the more that money must be considered in the cost of the goods or services provided by the business.
So, if churches don't have to pay for their share of property taxes, that means that everyone else must make up for it. That means that even though you may not subscribe to any specific religious theology, you are paying extra for them to "advance their religion".
Our first efforts towards our objectives will be to expose to the public the amount of public funds being redirected to churches. Please join us in our efforts in any way appropriate for you.
We have a lot of learning to do in the area of how laws are changed. If you have any ideas on how we achieve the discontinuance of church tax exemptions within your country or jurisdiction, please write to us.

I plan on doing another GIF post before the night's over. I also may share some book covers I have saved. Book covers are great for a lot of reasons. It makes things easy for me because the author's name is right there on the cover. I'm promoting literature on the topic. And some have really nice artwork.
Thank you all again for your support!
