Indigenous peoples suffer from poorer health and social outcomes than non-indigenous populations. Forty years after the Alma Ata declaration, renewed and scaled up efforts to ensure that indigenous peoples are not left behind are needed if Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is to be achieved by 2030. Recent work by IDS and partners in Latin America and South Asia has shown how indigenous peoples and other ethnic minorities face political as well as practical barriers to engaging with health systems. A better understanding of indigenous peoples' own health aspirations and of existing innovative efforts to overcome these barriers is essential.
Discussing indigenous health at the Fifth Global Symposium on Health Systems Research (HSR2018). Toby Phillips Photography
These issues were at the heart of the session entitled 'Overcoming recognition, participation and accountability barriers to UHC for indigenous peoples: lessons from Guatemala, Brazil and India' held at the HSR2018 in Liverpool earlier this month. They also informed a compelling article in La Nación written by Health Systems Global (HSG) award winning media fellow Irene Rodríguez.
Three case studies were presented in the session:
• Pauline Oosterhoff (IDS) talked about recognition and invisibility of indigenous and minority women's health rights and priorities in Asia, based on her work in Vietnam and India
• Maximiliano Correa Menezes Tukano (FOIRN) and Alex Shankland (IDS) shared lessons from the Unequal Voices project on engaging with local health system management in Brazil
• Benilda Batzín presented the work by REDC Salud (La Red de Defensores Comunitarios por el Derecho a la Salud) on citizen-led accountability in Guatemala
Indigenous peoples fight for the right to health
Walter Flores from the Centre for Research on Equity and Governance in Health Systems (CEGSS) introduced the session by pointing out that there are more than 370 million indigenous people spread across the world, who are frequently oppressed, excluded, marginalised and displaced from their ancestral territories. They share certain commonalities across their range of diverse beliefs, including on the fundamental interconnectedness of health and wellbeing with the environment, land, community and society, which current thinking on health systems would benefit from as policymakers seek ways of working beyond the health sector.
All of the case studies presented in the session demonstrated the great strides indigenous groups have made through mobilising to fight for their right to health in the face of substantial structural and systemic barriers.
In Guatemala, for example, the Network of Community Defenders for the Right to Health (REDC Salud) has led activities around advocacy and capacity building of indigenous peoples to better monitor policies and services, and demand accountability from authorities, as well as health rights literacy campaigns. These efforts have led to 35 municipalities establishing active channels of engagement with citizens to discuss problems and implement solutions. In 28 of these municipalities the government has allocated financial resources to improve services, and the number of complaints about discrimination against indigenous people has also fallen in these 28 municipalities.
In many countries, diverse communities of indigenous peoples have been able to work across languages and cultures to mobilise collectively and continue to challenge the dominant understanding what 'a community' is or what a 'community health system' should look like. Pauline Oosterhoff cautioned, however, that her research in India has shown that indigenous women may face not only discrimination from mainstream health systems but also barriers to exercising voice within traditional governance institutions.
The experiences shared showed the inherently political nature of indigenous exclusion from existing health systems, and as a result these are issues that cannot be resolved through technical health sector work alone.
Lessons from Brazil: FOIRN's experience
The case of Brazil is an example of how large a gap there can be between the way indigenous citizens' rights are framed in national law and the practice at the local level, and where politics can create substantial barriers to access and complicate health outcomes.
Since the mid-1990s, Brazil has transformed health policy to try to ensure that the poorest people and places are covered by basic services. Despite this, the country's indigenous peoples continue to lag behind the population as a whole in terms of improved health outcomes.
The Federation of Indigenous Organisations of the Rio Negro region(FOIRN) has successfully engaged with the government health system to secure accessible, appropriate and culturally acceptable care, and is one of the areas of focus of IDS research with partners in Brazil under the ESRC-DFID funded Unequal Voices project on the politics of accountability for equity in health systems.
FOIRN went from being one of the leading indigenous organisations in a social movement campaign for differentiated health care for indigenous peoples launched in 1993 to taking over responsibility for delivering services in the Rio Negro region under contract to Ministry of Health in 2004-2006. Despite initial rapid progress in developing and implementing an innovative service delivery model co-managed by indigenous leaders and non-indigenous health professionals, the Brazilian government subsequently re-centralised control over decision-making. Despite significantly increased budgets the quality of services declined, as indigenous leaders were sidelined.
In the HSR2018 session, Maximiliano Correa Menezes Tukano explained how he was selected in 2016 by FOIRN as the first indigenous Technical Advisor appointed to the Upper Rio Negro Special Indigenous Health District (Distrito Sanitário Especial Indígena do Alto Rio Negro). However, he was dismissed a year later after FOIRN protested about the poor quality of the District managers' response to a severe malaria outbreak. According to Tukano, the appointee who replaced him was recommended by municipal politicians connected to Brazil's ascendant right-wing national political networks. These politicians also took over control of the District Indigenous Health Council (CONDISI), a participatory space for service oversight that FOIRN had originally helped to establish.
Continued commitment required to ensure health services meet needs of indigenous peoples
The shared narrative that emerged across all of the case studies presented in the session was one where indigenous peoples adapt and mobilise in the face of persistent exclusion and marginalisation, while their health needs continue to go unmet. It is clear, from both the HSR2018 session and research undertaken by IDS and its partners, that a more integrated and culturally sensitive approach that recognises the structural barriers indigenous people face in claiming their right to health is required. One that acknowledges the value of indigenous health practices on an equal basis to 'Western' medicine, and that cuts across private and public sectors as well as civil society.

MASHPEE — A lightning strike damaged a home at 47 Alma Road at 7:58 p.m., according to Mashpee fire Lt. Sean Willis.
The strike took some shingles off the side of the house and took apart some of the plaster board inside, Willis said. It also blew a closet door off its hinges, he said.
There was no fire but just a haze of smoke, Willis said.
The wiring inspector came to the house and isolated the power to the affected area of the strike, Willis said. Residents were able to stay in the house, he said.
The lightning strike sent a ripple effect throughout the neighborhood, causing smoke detectors go off and minor electrical issues in nearby houses, said Willis.
Overall the homeowners "got pretty lucky," Willis said.

It's Thanksgiving Sunday here in Canada and I'm all about the pie at Thanksgiving dinner. This weekend seemed like the perfect opportunity to pull out a favourite orange polish of mine (Pumpkin Spice) from Beyond The Nail, and do a little stamping. You can read a full review of Pumpkin Spice by following the link, but suffice it to say, this is a mainstay when it comes to wearable orange polishes in my collection.

4 Tools to Crush your Social Media Content on Facebook
It is likely you are here because you want to learn how to crush your social media content on Facebook, right? Maybe you're tired of your Facebook being a ghost town when it comes to your business? Perhaps you are fed up of falling short and are ready to maximize the opportunity you have your hands on?
You know, that it's time. And, what is important to note is you need to own that. You need to make the decision that you are going to create a plan and then follow through. Plans are great but not all that helpful if you don't execute them. It is crucial that you implement what you learn.
You see, we love teaching and coaching sure. But, what we love more is working with the coachable. We believe that the tools we share with you today, are going to help you make big things happen.
4 Tools to Crush your Social Media Content on Facebook
Does this sound familiar?
Have you found yourself asking questions like:
- What content should I share on my social media profile?
- How can I share a video on Facebook in a new, creative way?
- How can I use the latest Instagram feature effectively?
Chances are you answered 'yes', to at least one of those questions.
Create Recorded Videos or, Go Live
Guess what? Think of the last time you were scrolling your newsfeed and saw a video come up from sites like Buffer or and Sprout Social. They, are almost always creating their videos with a smart phone. So when it comes to 'tools' you need to crush your social media content …
Get out your phone.
You don't need fancy equipment like lights and microphones — they're not important when starting out. What's important is generating consistent content. And, although recorded videos do not receive the same reach as a live video they get more than not doing one at all.
Additionally, have fun with the recorded video.
Try an app like Animoto for example (one of the top apps for editing and comes with a free trial offer). Add captions if you want for little to no cost at all. Do something that will help you stand out, without breaking the bank.
And, when it comes to Facebook Live videos – engage.
Don't be afraid to stop for a moment and acknowledge your viewers. Engaging with your audience is a great tool yet, continues to be underused. You see, if you are prepared for your video with notes for example, stopping to say what's up to one of your viewers shouldn't interrupt your delivery. Pause, and head back to your notes.
Couple Facts from Facebook Live and Social Media Examiner…
- Reach: Facebook ranks live videos higher on the News Feed than non-live content. Also, Michael Stelzner, CEO and founder of Social Media Examiner, shared on Buffer's Science of Social Media podcast that going live increased the reach of their non-live Facebook Page content too.
- Engagement: According to Facebook, "People spend more than 3x more time watching a Facebook Live video on average compared to a video that's no longer live."
If you are not using these tools … You need to be. We have shared before start small – the first one is the hardest. But, it gets easier after that – seriously. And, although the nerves may still be there and there will be a mix of emotions, they are worth every moment.
Lastly, consider interviewing someone live. This is a great way to ease the nerves since it becomes more about having conversation with the person you are interviewing. And, could help ease the nerves a little bit too.
User Generated Content
First and foremost, what does this mean?
Think about your audience. If you have completed your Audience Profile, this should be easy. What are the things they are talking about? Let's say for example Suzy posts 'back to school lunches are the worst!' Then, you realize your other Facebook friend Mary, has a similar post.
Well, guess what? Clearly .. Back to school lunches are a problem. And, what a coincidence you happen to be pretty resourceful in the kitchen. Take a few moments and throw together a post relevant to back to school lunches. You could even comment on their posts later saying 'oh my gosh I actually just did a post about this!'.
Find the problem, offer a solution.
Now, we understand that back to school lunches are not a network marketing business — but this is where you need to set that to secondary for a moment and put your relationships first. Chances are good that Suzy and Mary will love the post. In turn, you have created value for them, provided a solution to a problem. This, creates the underlying trust that we know, causes relationships to thrive.
Be mindful about what your audience is posting about and spin it into the value you deliver, to absolutely crush your social media content on platforms like Facebook.
You may hear this referred to as 'social listening'. The greatest marketers listen more, than they speak. This is why their social media content stands out above the rest – they've listened.
Capture your Inspiration from Others
You are scrolling Facebook and you come across a brilliant post! You love it, you comment and engage with it, and then you move on. Instead, save it (also known as swipe it). Evernote is a great app that you can store tons of files, images, etc.
Now, in no way are we suggesting you simply copy and paste someone else's status. However, there is no reason you can't use it for inspiration. The best part is, you can put your own spin on it – relate it to your audience. Memes are great content to store.
And, if you have read our post about how motivational posts can hurt your business – you will want to do that too. Swipe files aren't meant to be copied word for work — they are designed to create a file of inspiration for the days you are in need of new ideas. Because let's be honest copying and pasting someone else's content will not help you crush your social media content.
Some of the best statuses to swipe for later are ones that have a teachable moment you can relate to or, analogies. These are often great conversation starters and, you already know people 'liked' the content. Why? Because you did! Take that post for inspiration, and interpret it your way, with your personality.
The main thing is, start creating the file.
Creating your own Images with Canva
We know, we mention Canva a lot in our content because honestly, it's free and delivers some great quality. So much of their platform is 'drag and drop' and, you can customize colors and fonts to ones you associate with your own brand.
Using this tool to crush your social media content, helps you stand out. It allows your images and content to become recognized by others. Even those who may not follow you yet. When we think about brand recognition, we wonder if there's enough value put on that. Because, what we have learned is the more content we pump out, with our colors for example, people recognize it. And, when people recognize your brand it becomes a safe and comfortable space for the consumer.
Familiarity will almost always, generate a relationship. It is like the social media way of 'hey you look kind of familiar'. This is a game changer. So instead of scrolling endlessly on Instagram or Pinterest looking for the 'right' meme, image or quote to post – create it!
Bonus Tool: Grammarly
This free tool is GREAT for those who are pushing out written content. There is nothing worse than a value filled post that is littered with spelling errors or poor grammar. Now listen, we aren't claiming to be the best writers ever either — but we know this tool can help refine those areas.
Because often, there are people out there who desperately need your message …
But they lose it because of poor spelling or grammar. Grammarly is a great tool and, it's free!
Overall, we hope you found these tools helpful and, right at your fingertips. Bells and whistles can come if you want them down the road — but for now? Use what you have because we know, you can absolutely crush your social media content for free.

Video: Celtics Shaq Dresses Up as Woman, Sings Beyonce
In pretty much the greatest video ever in the history of sports, Shaquille O'Neal stole the show as a cross-dressing Beyonce-fan named "Shaqeeta" this past Halloween.
Basically, the Boston Celtics center and long-time NBA joker dressed up in a black skirt and tight-fitting top fully expecting to roam the trains of downtown Boston scaring random tourists. However, after that plan didn't work out, O'Neal decided to give us this gem of a video so that fans could see what Halloween means to him.
While none of them really compare to Shaq's costumes, here is what a few of the other Celtics players decided to dress up as on Sunday:
And here is the video of Shaq doing his best Beyonce rendition: HERE.

Company: Rainbowgrove Dreams
Welcome back!
I'm so excited to share this new vegan clothing line from Rainbowgrove Dreams! Vibrant colors, high-quality materials, and vegan graphics and quotes… these shirts will become one of your go-to pieces in your wardrobe!
Big Heart Go Vegan T-shirt features a gorgeous floral heart that simply says "go vegan." I absolutely adore anything nature-inspired, and of course, if I my shirt can promote veganism, well that's a win in my book!
The T-shirt itself is an excellent quality tri-blend (50% polyester/25% cotton/25% rayon) material that is soft and gets softer when you wash and dry it. I dry all of my clothes on low to minimize shrinking, but that's not a problem because this T-shirt has some stretch to it and won't lose its shape. It is definitely has a form-fitting cut, so the website recommends sizing up and even ordering up 2 sizes if you'd like a looser fit.
Next up, is the Peace Full Zip Hoodie! I pretty much wear hoodies all year round… just like in this picture (it was nearly 100 degrees!). In any case, I love throwing on something comfortable that I can wear with leggings. With cooler weather just around the corner, you can bet that I'll be living in this!
This hoodie is the perfect length (it covered my butt) and also has some stretch. This isn't your typical shapeless hoodie, it will hug your curves and make you look much more polished and put together than the hoodie you stole from your ex-boyfriend.
The image on the back of this hoodie is so unique! It features the tree of life with a circle of flowers and animals around it. I absolutely love the green and purple colors that pop off of the light gray material. I love this so much!
The Bottom Line
Rainbowgrove Dreams offer vegan and nature inspired clothing, accessories, home decor, and art that you can't find anywhere else! Their new clothing line includes designs that are so cute and unique, I can't wait to order them all (seriously, I love every single one). The quality is fantastic, and these pieces are a must-have for every vegan that wears clothes!
Head on over to their website to see their entire line! Let me know which one is your favorite!
Happy Earth Day! Today is the PERFECT day to share the beautiful, nature-inspired and animal-friendly art and accessories from Rainbowgrove Dreams!
If you're anything like me, you truly love nature! From the ocean to the forests, to the mountains. I've lived in and have loved them all! My admiration of nature and animals are reflected in my personal style and home. These items from Rainbowgrove Dreams fit my aesthetics and ethics perfectly and you will LOVE them too!
I've wanted to work with this company for quite some time! Laura, the founder of Rainbowgrove Dreams, aims to educate and ultimately change the world, just like me!

I truly appreciate a company that offers special items and supports worthy causes. It shows that their heart is in the right place! Alright, let's get into the review!
Company: Rainbowgrove Dreams
Retro Floral Design Wallet (Green)
To kick off this review, I'm starting with the item that just so happens to be one of my favorite art pieces of all time! The Dreamy Sky and Earth Wall Art is a stunning print on canvas that I could stare at for hours! The vibrant magenta and purple hues of the flowering fields pop against the dreamy, cloudy sky! I love art that gives you the ability to add your own personal flair to it. This item comes with 5 individual canvases that you can arrange as you see in the picture or any way you like! This is definitely a conversation piece that brings the beauty of nature into your home!
Next up, is the Casual Messenger Bag (Blue) by Amelie Galanti. This bag is perfect for just about every outfit and is very high quality. The faux leather has a glossy finish and the texture of actual leather. It has dark chrome hardware and multiple pockets and compartments to fit all of your belongings! It comes with a shoulder strap and a long cross-body strap so it can be styled to meet your needs. This bag is built to last, made with animal-friendly materials, and is the perfect everyday accessory!
Last up, is the Retro Floral Design Wallet (Green) that may just be the cutest wallet on the planet! This tri-fold wallet features an adorable, vintage-inspired floral pattern and high quality faux leather-esque material. It is large enough to fit all of your cards, bills, coins, and even your cell phone. This could even double as a clutch to add some springtime flair to your outfit! The inside is a pretty pink faux leather material with a sateen floral material inside the pockets. If you love vintage style, vegan accessories, or are just looking for a new item for the warmer weather, this wallet is it!
The Bottom Line
Rainbowgrove Dreams is a fabulous shop that offers special items that are anything but ordinary! The materials used are vegan and made to mirror the beauty of nature and the world around us. These items are gorgeous and of excellent quality, but most of all, they do not use leather and they are used to support fantastic organizations that make the world a better place for everyone.

Company: Corkor
Corkor's Goals:
"Sustainability is one of the biggest issues of our times. It touches many aspects of our lives, right down to the materials we choose to buy. In these defining times where our choices can and will define the future of the planet, cork stands out as the number one eco–friendly raw material.
At Corkor, we feel we can truly make a difference by providing people with a premium, eco–friendly alternative to other highly polluting products. Cork is good for the environment in more than one way: recyclable, reusable and sustainable, cork is also a high–end alternative to leather. Beautiful, sustainable and vegan accessories are our contribution to a better, greener world."
Why Cork?
"The extraction of cork also maintains the vitality of the "Montado" habitat and promotes multiple economic, environmental and social gains, allowing for thousands of people to go on living and working in otherwise deserted areas of Portugal."
waterproof, buoyant, elastic, fire resistant and unique in its appearance, it is a naturally harvested material, mainly originating in the cork oak forests located in the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain)."
Product: Cork Clutch Natural
Every girl needs a good clutch for nights out or days that you don't want to carry around a huge bag. That's why I am so excited to share Corkor's Cork Clutch Natural with you! If this is your first time to my website (welcome!), you must know that my style is quite casual and based on comfortable, multi-purpose pieces with a rock and roll flair! Of course, my main interest is vegan, cruelty-free fashion!
Ok, let's start with the basics! The dimensions of this clutch are 7.5″ long x 4.7″ wide x 2″ inches deep, so it is roomy enough to fit all of your essentials like your phone, wallet, and other necessities. This bag is made of smooth, durable cork from Portugal (yes, the same stuff that tops your favorite wine bottle) that is water-resistant and super high quality.
The neutral color will match everything in your wardrobe which I truly appreciate because I seriously don't have time to think about what bag matches my outfits on a daily basis!
I love that the natural cork gives it an earthy, eco-vibe while the super shiny, silver metal hardware gives it a classy and slightly edgy look (my fav!). This clutch easily transitions from a fun, daytime over the shoulder or crossbody bag to a sophisticated nighttime accessory, simply by removing the chain. I love multi-use products!
The Bottom Line
I adore this clutch! I love how it easily adds style to any outfit and is perfect for a casual trip to Whole Foods or for a night out! It truly is a special bag and you can count on people asking you about it when you wear it!
Using a sustainable material like cork is a genius idea! It just goes to show that leather and other animal products are not necessary to look fabulous! This clutch is sure to please anyone and everyone on your holiday shopping list!
Thank you, Corkor, for sending me this stunning clutch to review!
Company: Vegan Police Shop

Their "Ferocious Vegan" T-shirt was the first vegan shirt I ever bought and I still love it to this day! It comes in Men's and Women's sizes and it is the perfect gift for any vegan on your shopping list!
The Vegan Tote bag is large multipurpose accessory for vegans on the go! It is great as a gym bag, school bag, beach bag… or just anywhere you want to promote veganism and your love of animals! It's made of a soft cotton material and you can choose the color of ink that you want! *The style pictured above is not currently in their shop, but the "I Don't Eat Pals" design is!
The No Animals Harmed Recycled Cotton Lunch Bag is AWESOME! It says "No Animals Were Harmed In The Making Of This Lunch." You're vegan and doing great things for the animals and the planet… You should give yourself a little pat on the back every now and then! This drawstring lunch bag is the perfect way to do that! This bag is soft and has more than enough room to bring some veggies and an entire container of hummus for lunch, along with other stereotypical vegan lunch items! It has a drawstring and velcro at the top to make sure all of your snacks stay secure. I love this bag so much!
And… Who doesn't like buttons? Stick these on you backpacks, scarves, shirts… you name it! So cute!

A new life was recently given to me allowing me to feel transformed, renewed and full of gratitude. I began to create new works thinking about how to express these feelings and the notion of transformation. I chose to use existing objects in a fresh way, which in an already cluttered physical world made more sense than using new, manufactured materials. To transform these objects into new art I made a mechanical device that takes them and spins them into a new and colorful life, beginning with discarded toys.
In a world that at times feels like it's spinning out of control, these works appear relevant beyond my personal story.
Saṃsāra - literally meaning "continuous flow" is the repeating cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth (reincarnation) within Hinduism, Buddhism, Bön, Jainism, Yoga and Taoism.
The Meat wheel
There's a term for a Buddhist notion called samsara that refers to the continuing flow of life, the repeating cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth. In this work I am recycling objects in a timeless flow of life around and as if part of the Buddha. It's as if they are different incarnations of him as well as objects that may be familiar in our own lives.
The spinners fulfill a desire for expressing motion in sculpture, the intense motion of our world today. Having witnessed the results of the tornados in the south they also express the awesome energy and power of nature.

Interior Lives
The elegant, restrained vessels of Richard DeVore have frequently been compared to human forms. It is easy to see why – their warm, matte surfaces evoke human skin; clefts, dimples, slits, and bulges in the works reference anatomical forms; and the suggestion of bilateral symmetry recalls the basic human figure. Even his commitment to a few selected vessel shapes, and a restricted color palette, recalls the diversity of life, bound as it is to certain limitations. Janet Koplos equated his body of work to a crowd of people, who are "recognizable as a species but infinite in their variety."
Like people, DeVore's works have rich interior lives, not immediately visible to the casual viewer. In many of his pots, the artist constructed a series of false bottoms that can only be discovered by peering over their rims. This requires the viewer to get close to and spend time with each piece in order to properly assess them. Invisible from the exterior, the pots have hidden layers that radically change the perception of each piece. A tall vessel, with steeply sloping walls is revealed to have a shallow interior, composed of a series of these false bottoms, accented with evocative cut-outs that lead to increasingly obscure levels. The works are mysterious, and do not easily give themselves away. Instead, as Koplos notes, "they stand, they feel, they keep secrets."

Richard Shaw's Online Videos
On July 12th, the gallery will open a new exhibition of works by Ralph Bacerra, Richard DeVore, and Richard Shaw. In anticipation of this, it feels like a good time to repost Richard Shaw's online videos. Last February, Shaw participated in an artists' conversation with Adrian Saxe. One of our most popular events, the two artists spoke at length about their respective practices, including their shared interest in juxtaposition and references to contemporary culture. I'm glad that we filmed their talk, and I've included the edited video below:
In 2005, Shaw was filmed in his studio by KQED for the arts education program Spark. This video really demonstrates the complexity of his artwork, revealing the enormous library of molds, glazes, decals, and transfers that he uses to achieve a stunning level of realism. The profile also captures Shaw in his element as Professor of Art at the University of California, Berkeley, where he taught until his retirement in 2012.
Richard DeVore
For over thirty years, Richard DeVore (1933-2006) created, fired, and edited his work, reducing his final artistic output to a limited number of vessels that best expressed his emotional states and artistic intentions. Through a limited vocabulary of vessel and bowl forms, in combination with skin and earth tones, DeVore shaped a body of work that Janet Koplos, senior writer at Art in America, described as "recognizable as a species but amazing in their variety."
The heart of Richard DeVore's mature career centered on his continual investigation into the expressive capabilities of the vessel. While his reliance on a few basic forms might suggest a certain conservatism, DeVore pushed those shapes to their very limits, incorporating slits, dimples and rim irregularities as well as double floors and concealed interior shelves and membranes. His works expand viewers' conception of what a vessel is, and how it functions in the world.
The shapes of his works and their surface treatments were meticulously planned, and then executed. If a piece did not meet the artist's high standards of beauty and expression, it was destroyed. In an interview with Katherine Wunderlich of the Cranbrook Magazine in 1972, Devore explained that each piece is either "a living idea and the essence of the feeling or it is not. There are no excuses."
Whether DeVore's work brings to mind worn, weathered skin or the roughened surface of a crater or hillside, it is the sensation or feeling evoked that is so significant. The objects DeVore references are starting points, the essence of which he captures through reductive and carefully chosen physical qualities. Barry Schwabsky, writing for American Craft, beautifully described the experience of contemplating the artist's work, noting that:
"The abyss into which Richard DeVore draws my gaze does not trap me, nor is it meant to; it elicits a critical consciousness of the seduction to which I assent, and in that consciousness is the release which sends me back to the safe distance from which I enjoy these beautifully restrained forms: no longer enigmatic and troubling but once again, for the moment, severe, balanced, harmonious."
Our upcoming show at the gallery, Frank's International House of Ceramics, Part Three, will include several examples of Richard DeVore's evocative work. I hope you'll have the chance to come and see it in person when it opens on February 9th, 2013.
The Presentation Room
At the gallery, we hold an average of ten exhibitions a year, presenting the work of West Coast and international artists. These shows are held in the three main rooms of the gallery, and are a mix of solo and group exhibitions that may explore certain themes, materials, or ideas.
However, a part of the gallery that is sometimes overlooked by visitors is the presentation room. Here, we feature a variety of artworks that are not part of the major exhibits. These pieces are diverse in style, size, and material, and give a fuller picture of the artists represented here. They are also frequently rotated to showcase a greater number of artists and keep visitors coming back to see what's new.
Right now, we have on display drawings and a sculpture by Larry Bell as well as ceramics and sculptures by Adrian Saxe, Robert Graham, Sugimoto Sadamitsu, Svend Bayer, Richard DeVore, Satoru Hoshino, Georges Jeanclos and Goro Suzuki.
The presentation room also has a small viewing area, where visitors are invited to watch one of the documentaries we have, including The Cool School and Revolutions of the Wheel: The Emergence of American Clay Art. We have also begun producing video interviews with some of our artists, and these will be available for viewing.
I like to use this space to continue to raise awareness for the artists, even when they are not the subject of an exhibition at the gallery. It's fun to improvise here, switching out works and watching how they affect visitors and the other pieces of art they are displayed with. I sometimes find relationships between works that might not have occurred to me had I not combined such a disparate collection of pieces.


text: Judicial preview acts as a tool to assure that no laws to be enacted conflicts with the constitution. For that reason, it is of importance that the authorities set to perform the judicial preview are independent towards the ruling power. The aim of this essay is to do a comparison between how judicial preview is done by the Council on Legislation in Sweden and by the Constitutional Council in France. The essay examines how this preview acts as a tool to guarantee the supremacy of the constitution and to insure a none confrontational legal system. This is done with the help of the method of comparative law and the legal dogmatic method. The result of the analysis shows that judicial preview plays an increasingly important role of guaranteeing the supremacy of constitutions in legal systems of increased complexity and in societies that are experiencing political tensions. The result also shows that the constitutions in both Sweden and France is increasing in importance to protect the ways of government, democracy and basic rights for the citizens. Based on the analysis the forms of judicial preview should be reviewed and stronger safeguards for the constitution may be of interest in the future.

Are you having the hardest time finding a pair of shoes for your child with six toes? Do you feel like every single shoe style that you try for his/her feet is too narrow? In order to accommodate your child's extra toe we need a pair of shoes that provide extra depth and rounder toe-box.
If your child was born with six toes then you should know by now how challenging it can be to find the a pair of shoes that fits.
I have been working for a specialized children's shoe store for over the last 10 years now, where we specialize in children with foot and leg problems, but we provide regular shoe fittings as well. I have helped children find shoes to accommodate their different kinds of foot issues, from being flat footed to having knock-knees, to having six toes on one or both feet.
I am an expert when it comes to fitting children's shoes, since I am familiar with which are the best children's shoe brands and the best shoe styles among those brands. I will definitely help you find the best shoes for kids with six toes.
I have helped a few children who needed shoes to accommodate their feet with six toes.
The process of fitting them in a pair of shoes is not that much different than that of a child who has five toes, but we must consider the extra room that we need in the shoes for that extra toe. We need to prevent those toes from getting cramped inside the shoes or overlap with the other toes,
There are two important features that the shoes must provide in order to prevent this from happening. The shoes must be deep and come with a round toe-box. A pair of deep shoes will prevent your toes from rubbing against the top of the shoes, and a shoe with a round toe-box will prevent your kids' toes from overlapping one another.
You might be wondering… How can you find shoes that provide these two features if shoes don't come labeled as "deep" or with a "round toe-box"?
The good news is that I know exactly which kids' shoe styles provide these two features, and I will help you find them!
Finding a pair of shoes for a child with six toes can be a frustrating and time-consuming experience, but I am here to make that whole process easier.
The first step before you start looking for shoes is to take into consideration the type of socks that will provide for your child. This is one of the most important yet overlooked steps. A pair of seamless socks will be ideal for a child who has an extra toe, since it will allow for extra room around the toes, preventing them form cramping against one another.
Let me show you a selection of the best shoes for children with six toes that I have fitted before.
Why Is It So Hard To Fit A Child With Six Toes? – Let's Find Out!
The hardest part is knowing which shoes to get. Finding a shoe that is deep and comes with a round toe-box is ideal to make sure your kids' feet are comfortable.
I have noticed how there are certain shoe styles made by the company New Balance that are best for fitting children with wide or extra wide feet. This is my to-go shoe brand for children who have really wide feet, since it tends to fit the widest feet. Remember that your child's extra toe is taking up extra space inside the shoe.
You must avoid shoes that are come with pointy toe-boxes. Shoes that are too narrow for a child with six toes will lead to several foot issues such as blisters, calluses, ingrown toenails, and corns, just to name a few.
I will provide you with a selection of the best shoes and socks for a child who has six toes, but let's first take a look at which are the best socks for a child with six toes.
IMPORTANT TIP: It doesn't matter how many features a particular shoe style provides for your child, if the shoes are not fitted properly, your child won't get any of the benefits that the shoes have to offer.
I always recommend parents to take their children to their local children's shoe store to have their shoes properly fitted. However, parents contact me on a daily basis asking me how they can measure their kids' foot size from home, since they don't have a local shoe store that they trust. If you identify with this, start by reading an article I wrote where I describe the simplest, yet most effective way to figure out your child's foot size from home:
How To Measure Kids Shoe Size From Home – In Less Than 30 Seconds!
Now that you know how to provide your children with the correct shoe size and what features a shoe style must provide for a child with six toes, let me show you a selection of the best shoes for six toed feet.
Best Shoes for Kids with Six Toes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Please keep in mind that I only review shoe styles that I have fitted before, since that is the only way for me to tell how well-made the shoes are, the amount of support that they provide, and how they fit.
New Balance tends to be the most consistent shoe brand when it comes to manufacturing shoes that are deep and come with the widest, roundest toe-boxes. However, there are only a few shoe styles among those brands that will provide those two features.
Below you can find a selection of the best shoes for kids with six toes which will fit a child with medium, wide, or extra wide feet.

In order to allow for growing room, I highly recommend that parents order this shoe style a half a size larger than the size their children's feet measure. This translates to 0.3 inches or 0.7 centimeters of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoes.
The shoes I described above are the best fitting shoes for a child who has six toes. The combination of depth of the shoe and the rounder toe-box, makes it the perfect shoe style for children who have six toes.
You may be thinking: What if my child has very narrow feet, will he still need a wider shoe to accommodate for his or her sixth toe?
Your child may not need a wider shoe, but you still must find a shoe that is deep and comes with a round toe-box. If your child has narrow feet, my suggestion is that you provide him/her with any of the shoe styles that I recommend above but in a medium width ('M").
If your child has six toes, you have nothing to worry about. I have fitted a few children with this condition and while they don't make specific shoes for children with six toes, regular shoes will work as long as they are deep and come with a round toe-box.
Please don't forget about the importance of wearing the correct type of socks. Wearing seamless socks and the right pair of shoes will guarantee that your kids' feet with six toes remain healthy.
The Best Socks for Six Toed Feet ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wearing a pair of seamless socks will make a huge difference for a child that has six toes.
The greatest advantage is that it will allow your child's toes to spread out comfortably and prevent them from overlapping against one another. It will also allow extra room in the socks for the toes, without the socks bunching up or being too big. Your child won't have to worry about feeling the seams, the wrinkling, and the bunching of the socks anymore.
Getting the correct sock size is crucial. If the socks are too big, they will end up bunching up below your kids' feet, and if the socks are too short, they will end up cramping your kids' toes, even if the socks are seamless.
Did you know that getting the correct sock size is just as important as getting the correct shoe size?
When trying to find the correct socks size for your child, please ignore the label the reads "sock size" or "age guidelines".
In order to find your child's correct sock size you must always look under the label "shoe size" in the socks tags. This is the most effective way to find your child's correct sock size.
Take a look at the two pictures below for clarification:
Now, not all seamless socks are the same, since some of them are made of better quality than others. Below you can find a selection of the best seamless socks for a child who has six toes. Please refresh your browser if you can't see the recommendations.
I almost forgot, if your child has six toes and is involved in sports such as soccer, baseball, or lacrosse and needs a pair of cleats, you can find the best cleats for a child with a six toes here:
