Photos: Children of Auschwitz share stories of survival
World Jan 23, 2015 2:08 PM EST
Jadwiga Bogucka was 19 during the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944. She and her mother were sent from their house to a camp in Pruszkow and then moved on August 12, 1944, by train to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Photos by Kacper Pempel/Reuters
Maria Stroinska, 82, was 12 when she was sent alone to the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz. Imre Varsanyi was 14 and the only member of his family to survive.
Zofia Wareluk was born in the camp, two weeks before thousands of prisoners were liberated on Jan 27, 1945. Her mother was four months pregnant when she was sent there.
They are among the survivors of the Auschwitz death camp in southern Poland, which has come to symbolize the horrors of the Holocaust. Tuesday marks the 70th anniversary of that liberation day.
These portraits capture 20 survivors, many of whom were children and teenagers during their time at the camp.

Marian Majerowicz, 88, was 17 when he was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau. At the camp he was briefly reunited with his father, who told him that his mother and younger brother were both killed in the gas chambers. Majerowicz's father didn't survive the war. Photo by Kacper Pempel/Reuters
Erzsebet Brodt, 89, was 17 years old when she was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau, along with her family. Remembering the journey to the camp, she said that those who were "sick or about to give birth were forced out and put into one wagon. When the wagon was opened in Auschwitz we saw that everyone was dead inside." Photos by Laszlo Balogh/Reuters
Jerzy Ulatowski, 83, was taken by train to Auschwitz-Birkenau when he was 13 years old. In January 1945, he managed to escape with his family. Photo by Kacper Pempel/Reuters
Lajos Erdelyi, 87, holds a drawing made by a campmate as he poses for a portrait in Budapest on January 13, 2015. Erdelyi was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau in May 1944 and was later moved to another camp. When he was freed, he weighed less than 70 lbs., but still tried to walk home. He collapsed, and was taken to a hospital by a farmer. Photo by Laszlo Balogh/Reuters
Danuta Bogdaniuk-Bogucka, now 80, was 10 years old when she was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau with her mother. Bogdaniuk-Bogucka was part of Josef Mengele's medical experiments at Auschwitz. After the war she met her mother again and discovered they had both been at the Ravensbrück camp at the same time without realizing. Photo by Kacper Pempel/Reuters
Stefan Sot, 83, holds a picture of himself taken during the war. Sot was 13 years old during the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944, when he was sent from his home to Pruszkow prior to being transported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. He was later moved to a labor sub-camp, where he worked in a kitchen for S.S. officers. After the war he worked as a typesetter at a printing house. Photos by Kacper Pempel/Reuters
Former Auschwitz concentration camp inmate Laszlo Bernath, 87, credits his survival of Auschwitz to his father being a practical man. He was 15 when they were taken, but his father told him to lie about his age so that they would not be separated. Even while in the camp, Bernath had no idea about the gas chambers. Bernath holds up a picture of his family who were all killed in the concentration camp during World War II. Photos by Laszlo Balogh/Reuters
Elzbieta Sobczynska, 80, holds her father's watch, which was kept by her brother while they were in the camp, as she poses for a portrait in Warsaw January 7, 2015. During the Warsaw Uprising, Sobczynska, then 10, was sent with her mother and brother from their home to Pruszkow and then moved by train to Auschwitz-Birkenau. There they were separated into blocks for women, girls and boys. Sobczynska said that she was robbed of her childhood, and lost the chance to experience a different kind of life.

Janos Forgacs, 87, holds a document as he poses for a portrait in Budapest on January 12, 2015. Forgacs recalls that he was in a group transported to a camp in a cattle wagon, the windows sealed with barbed wire. A military officer told them to hand over their belongings because they would not need them anymore. Photo by Laszlo Balogh/Reuters
Maria Stroinska, 82, holds a family photo taken before the war, as she poses for a portrait in Warsaw January 12, 2015. Stroinska was 12 during the Warsaw Uprising when she and her sister were sent from their house to Pruszkow before she went alone to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Photos by Kacper Pempel/Reuters
Henryk Duszyk, 80, was 10 years old in August 1944. He was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau with his father, brother and stepmother. The family separated, Duszyk only saw his father once more before he was killed at the camp. The remaining three were kept at Auschwitz-Birkenau until the camp was liberated.

Janina Reklajtis, 80, holds a photo of herself taken during the war. Reklajtis was 12 when she and her mother were sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau. In January 1945, they were sent to a labor camp in Berlin and kept there until they were liberated. Photo by Kacper Pempel/Reuters
Imre Varsanyi, 86, holds up a photo of fellow survivors during World War II, as he poses for a portrait in Budapest on January 12, 2015. Varsanyi was 14 when he and his family were sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau. He was the only member of his family to survive. After the war, Varsanyi did not talk about Auschwitz for 60 years because he felt ashamed of his survival. Photo by Laszlo Balogh/Reuters
Zofia Wareluk, 70, was born in Auschwitz two weeks before the camp was liberated. Her mother was sent to Auschwitz four months pregnant. Photo by Kacper Pempel/Reuters
Eva Fahidi, 90, poses for a portrait in Budapest on January 12, 2015. She holds a picture of her family members, all of whom were all killed during World War II. Fahidi was 18 in 1944 when she and her family were moved from Debrecen to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Photo by Laszlo Balogh/Reuters
Halina Brzozowska, 82, was 12 when her family were sent to a camp in Pruszkow. She and her 6-year-old sister were moved to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Brzozowska said that it was hard to say what had happened to them, that they were taken from their homes and family, and lost their childhood.

Abstract: Background: The prevalence of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) has increased steadily worldwide in the last few decades. Particularly, there has been a global rise in the number of infections among immunosuppressed people. These patients present severe clinical forms of the infections, which are commonly fatal, and they are more susceptible to opportunistic fungal infections than non-immunocompromised people. IFIs have historically been associated with high morbidity and mortality, partly because of the limitations of available antifungal therapies, including side effects, toxicities, drug interactions and antifungal resistance. Thus, the search for alternative therapies and/or the development of more specific drugs is a challenge that needs to be met. Genomics has created new ways of examining genes, which open new strategies for drug development and control of human diseases. Results: In silico analyses and manual mining selected initially 57 potential drug targets, based on 55 genes experimentally confirmed as essential for Candida albicans or Aspergillus fumigatus and other 2 genes (kre2 and erg6) relevant for fungal survival within the host. Orthologs for those 57 potential targets were also identified in eight human fungal pathogens (C. albicans, A. fumigatus, Blastomyces dermatitidis, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, Paracoccidioides lutzii, Coccidioides immitis, Cryptococcus neoformans and Histoplasma capsulatum). Of those, 10 genes were present in all pathogenic fungi analyzed and absent in the human genome. We focused on four candidates: trr1 that encodes for thioredoxin reductase, rim8 that encodes for a protein involved in the proteolytic activation of a transcriptional factor in response to alkaline pH, kre2 that encodes for α-1,2-mannosyltransferase and erg6 that encodes for Δ(24)-sterol C-methyltransferase. Conclusions: Our data show that the comparative genomics analysis of eight fungal pathogens enabled the identification of four new potential drug targets. The preferred profile for fungal targets includes proteins conserved among fungi, but absent in the human genome. These characteristics potentially minimize toxic side effects exerted by pharmacological inhibition of the cellular targets. From this first step of post-genomic analysis, we obtained information relevant to future new drug development.

In Ontario, as a new parent, you are entitled to take unpaid time off work for up to 37 weeks to take care of your newborn child (i.e., parental leave). This right applies to both parents, and the employer is legally required to provide you with your old job at the end of the leave. The employer is also not permitted to retaliate, or punish you in any way, for taking the time off to spend with your family. Unfortunately employers often consciously violate these rights and returning employees frequently find that either they no longer have a job, or that the job responsibilities or pay have changed. Efforts to enforce one's rights in this context often result in termination and a lot of employers are able to intimidate the employees into not pursuing their legal remedies.
The case of Mr. Demers highlights the frequency of such violation of rights, as well as the importance of bringing them to court in order to send a strong message to employers that such conduct will not be tolerated.
Mr. Demers was a retail kiosk manager for Wow! Mobile. He requested parental leave to help his wife take care of their infant daughter shortly after she was born, but was pressured not to take the leave by his manager, who informed him that this would seriously hurt his career with the company. About 7 months later, his daughter fell seriously ill and the employee took an emergency half–year leave to take care of her. At this time, the employee's manager told the rest of the staff that the employee had resigned, and threatened to call security when Mr. Demers stopped by at the kiosk that he managed while on leave. The employee filed a human rights complaint, and was moved to a less convenient location after returning to work. The employer also encouraged all the other staff to keep records and report any of the employee's behavior that could get him in trouble. Less than a month after restarting work, the employee was fired based on unsubstantiated allegations of sexual harassment.
The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) found that the employer's conduct was both prolonged and hostile. The HRTO also found that the employer acted in retaliation for taking parental leave when terminating Mr. Demers without sufficient proof of the sexual harassment claims, and awarded him $62,000.00 in damages and lost wages.
Hopefully Mr. Demers' case serves as an example to employers considering depriving employees of their legal rights.


GREENBELT, Md. – The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is proud to announce that three NFRC documents have officially earned the American National Standard (ANS) designation from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Now that the process is completed, NFRC will be limited in the changes that can be made to the documents as any changes made will require resubmission for public review and comment.
To limit the commitment required of NFRC volunteers and staff for continuous review, the NFRC ANS Standards Committee and the NFRC Board of Directors have agreed that changes to any documents that obtain ANS designation will be limited to a three-year cycle.
NFRC members serving on task groups and subcommittees may continue to review and ballot the documents as necessary. Proposed changes will be reserved until either the 18-month "critical" mark, or they will be incorporated into the documents at the three-year cycle. Changes may be implemented as addenda to the documents, but will not be incorporated until public review has been completed.
The NFRC Board of Directors will determine if changes made at the 18-month mark warrant immediate implementation.
The new designation was announced in the October 24, 2014, issue of ANSI's Standards Action.

Greatest Quarterback of All Time
Tom Brady does it again, his 7th Super Bowl win and 10th appearance. So has he made it to the summit, is he the Greatest Quarterback of All-Time?
Let's actually have a legitimate understanding of greatest quarterback of all time. What does it take to be the GOAT? Does it mean winning the most Super Bowls? Well, the problem with this is two-fold.
The Super Bowl is a recent addition to professional football.
There are quarterbacks that have won Super Bowls because of other great players. Whether they were the beneficiaries of stellar defenses or had a great team and they contributed marginally.
Here I have come up with a way to quantify greatness
Quantifying Greatness
Championship Victories (Super Bowls, NFL Championships etc.)
Regular Season Winning Percentage
How their teams played with them versus without them
Winning with multiple coaches, organizations
Why these criteria?
Yes, of course, championships are important, but regular season records matter too. Being able to win repeatedly versus one game a year should matter more than modern sports media attributes. A pet peeve is when I hear "They were a good regular season quarterback but…" NO! no "but's" being able to win in the grueling day-to-day matters. It takes more skill and talent to win repeatedly and more luck to win one-game.
Also, if a team is still successful when the person in questions isn't there are they really that good?
Finally, who should take more credit for an individuals success if he only plays for one coach in his career? Is it the coach that is great or the quarterback?
Here are a list of the 7 contenders for Greatest Quarterback of All Time. If you have a problem with this list, let me know why. If it's a stupid reason, I will ignore you. If it is a good reason I would love to debate it.
John Elway
Sammy Baugh
Johnny Unitas
Otto Graham
We will now break down each player in "Arguments For" and "Arguments Against" while apply our 4 ways of quantifying greatness.
Arguments For:
He has played 20 years in the league. He has gone to 10 Super Bowls and won 7. This is the most appearances and the most wins in a Super Bowl.
He has the highest winning percentage in the Super Bowl Era at .769.
He played and won the majority of his games with the powerhouse New England Patriots. There he was only coached under one coach, Bill Belichick. But in 2019 he left the Pats and joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Here is where I think Brady moves himself to the top of the list, he took the Bucs to a Super Bowl in his first season and won it in overwhelming fashion.
Arguments Against:
When Brady missed an entire season in 2008 for injury. The Patriots WITHOUT him went 11-5. He missed 4 games during the 2016 season for suspension, his team went again 3-1 without him. His team, without him playing, is 14-6. That does not bode well for making the argument HE is the greatness behind the Patriots.
However, after he left them after the 2019 season, the Patriots went 7-9 and finished 3rd in their division. Whereas, Brady and his Bucs went 11-5, though they finished 2nd in their division and made it into the playoffs as a wild card team.
Peyton Manning played for 4 coaches during his career (Tony Dungy, Jim Caldwell, Gary Kubiak and John Fox) and two organizations (Colts and Broncos). He took all four of his head coaches and both of his franchises to Super Bowls. Only Dungy retired from the game, the other three coaches have since been fired and are no longer head coaches in the League. There is no way to pin his wins on his coaches or his organization.
When looking at how his teams did without him, again his case strengthens. In 2011, Manning had to miss an entire season for injury. His team, which the year before had won their division, went 2-14 without Manning. When Manning retired after winning the Super Bowl with the Broncos, the Broncos went 9-7. They were 12-4 with him, and this was at the end of his career where nobody would make the argument he was at his peak.
Another argument for Manning is how healthy he was. Until his 2011 neck injury he did not miss a start. He led his teams and had a .685 winning percentage (4th in the Super Bowl Era).
He stayed healthy, his teams won with him and lost without him and he was able to win with multiple coaches and teams. He won 5 MVPs the most all time.
He only has 2 Super Bowl wins and four appearances. His postseason record is not nearly as glamorous as Brady's.
Elway's arguments look very similar to Manning's. His winning percentage is .648 (6th in the Super Bowl Era). He only played for the Denver Broncos but played under 3 Head Coaches in the 16 years he played (Dan Reeves, Wade Phillips and Mike Shanahan).
His teams were awful when he did not play. Elway took mediocre teams to Super Bowls. When he retired after winning a Super Bowl with at 17-2 record, the Broncos without him would go 6-10.
He was injured a lot! He struggled to stay on the field throughout his career. His Super Bowl record looks a lot like Manning's. He had 5 Super Bowl Appearances and only 2 wins.
Montana has the 3rd highest winning percentage in the Super Bowl Era at .711. He went a perfect 4-0 in Super Bowls. Hard to discount a man that was perfect in Super Bowls.
His teams were 17-10 when he did not play. This is a little unfair because he was backed up by Steve Young who is in the Hall of Fame.
Montana was able to win in two locations, but only won Super Bowls with the 49ers. His 49ers success could be credited to his head coach Bill Walsh who coached him to all of his Super Bowl wins.
[Here we start to go before the Super Bowl Era. For a little history on Sammy Baugh click here. Baugh played for the Washington Redskins from 1937-1952.]
He had a .661 winning percentage and went 3-3 in Championship Games. He is most certainly the best athlete to play quarterback. In 1943, he led the league in passing, punting and interceptions. His punting record is still on the books. No player has ever lead the league in those 3 categories. There is a good argument he is the greatest punter of all time as he still holding the second highest career averaged in NFL history (45.1). By the time he retired in 1952 he held 13 NFL records and still holds on to 2 of them.
He played in a run dominate game. Though he was one of the quarterbacks credited for making the pass a threat. He would play his whole career with the Redskins.
Unitas had an impressive .649 winning percentage as a Colt. He straddles the Super Bowl era. He went 3-2 in NFL Championships and 1-0 in Super Bowls. He played as a replacement in Super Bowl III.
He was coached by 3 different head coaches (Weeb Ewbank, Don Shula and Don McCafferty).
His teams went 13-1 when he was out for the season and was 7-8-1 when he did not play. Don Shula is considered one of the best coaches who he played under. He has a very similar arguments for and against as Brady does.
Played for the Cleveland Browns from 1946-1955. For a look at his run with the Browns click here.
He has a .855 winning percentage. Think about that for a second, .855! This is the best in football. He was 4-0 in the All- American Football Conference Championship Games. When the AAFC collapsed the Browns were picked up by the NFL. They would win the NFL Championship in their first season with the NFL. Graham is 3-3 in NFL Title games.
That means he made it to 10 title games and won 7 of them. That mirrors Brady's.
The game looked very different in these years. It was run first, throw second. Also, he played for a poor conference with the AAFC and getting to the NFL title game is nothing like getting to the Super Bowl of the modern era.
So who are your top 5?
Previous US Gymnastics Scandal
Next NFL Team's to win back-to-back Championships
Cynthia Skidmore says:
Fact check: Joe Montana played for 2 Coaches, Bill Walsh and George Seifert. Gary Kubiak wasn't fired, he quit after team won Super Bowl.
One can only be judged by their play in their era, and winning Championships is the primary yard-stick for GOAT.
That leaves us with Otto Graham as greatest:
10 consecutive Championship games (EVERY year of his 10-year career), winning 7 out of 10.
No one has 7 championship wins nor 10 championship appearances.
No one has gone to the Championship 10 consecutive years.
His win percentage and avg yards per pass will likely never be surpassed.
Add Otto (and of course coach Paul Brown) changed football and brought the passing game to life.
One final note of defensive coverage in Graham's era included smothering coverage of receivers, ad hoc contact (hard "contact" before, during and after plays that seldom got the attention of refs – cheap hits were "just part of the game).
Brady is no doubt the greatest since Otto, and may pass Otto's 7 championship wins – until then, Otto is the GOAT
Just to add to my Otto Graham choice, Joe Montana could be ahead of Brady for his 4-0 SB win-loss record – if championship perfection was placed his on criterea, Montana would place ahead of Brady.
Back to Otto Graham – let's face the reality of lack of media coverage in the 40s and 50s, and how long ago his career occurred.
He was a post-WWII greatest generation war veteran, and represented the post-war American Dream – an athlete hero for boys, and the first QB to use drop back passing successfully to open up the game with multiple wide-out receivers in pro football. Much credit goes to coach Paul Brown of course – Another debatable choice for greatest pro football coach list…

Entering the Fray: Gender, Politics, and Culture in the New South
Tag: History and Military

Jonathan Daniel Wells, Sheila R. Phipps - Entering the Fray: Gender, Politics, and Culture in the New South
Publisher: Univеrsity of Missоuri Prеss | 2009-12-28 | ISBN: 0826218636 | PDF | 264 pages | 2.58 MB
The study of the New South has in recent decades been greatly enriched by research into gender, reshaping our understanding of the struggle for women's suffrage, the conflicted nature of race and class in the South, the complex story of politics, and the role of family and motherhood in black and white society. This book brings together nine essays that examine the importance of gender, race, and culture in the New South, offering a rich and varied analysis of the multifaceted role of gender in the lives of black and white southerners in the troubled decades of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Ranging widely from conservative activism by white women in 1920s Georgia to black women's political involvement in 1950s Memphis, many of these essays focus on southern women's increasing public activities and high-profile images in the twentieth century. They tell how women shouldered responsibilities for local, national, and international interests; but just as nineteenth-century women's status could be at risk from too much public presence, women of the New South stepped gingerly into the pulsing public arena, taking care to work within what they considered their current gender limitations. The authors - both established and up-and-coming scholars - take on subjects that reflect wide-ranging, sophisticated, and diverse scholarship on black and white women in the New South. They include the efforts of female Home Demonstration Agents to defeat debilitating diseases in rural Florida and the increasing participation of women in historic preservation at Monticello. They also reflect unique personal stories as diverse as lobbyist Kathryn Dunaway's efforts to defeat the Equal Rights Amendment in Georgia and Susan Smith's depiction by the national media as a racist southerner during coverage of her children's deaths. Taken together, these nine essays contribute to the picture of women increasing their movement into political and economic life while all too often still maintaining their gendered place as determined by society. Their rich insights provide new ways to consider the meaning and role of gender in the post - Civil War South.

The Contemporary Art Society is pleased to announce the details of three fellows who will curate a series of displays at the Whitechapel Gallery from September 2013, supported by a touring exhibition, related talks, and a publication of essays. The project is managed collaboratively by the Contemporary Art Society and Whitechapel Gallery and is generously funded by Arts Council England.
All three fellows will undertake their research from June to September 2013 whilst based in a museum in England. With access to the Contemporary Art Society's network of 65 member museums as well as guidance from the Contemporary Art Society and Whitechapel Gallery's expert teams, each fellow will use the founding principle of many of these institutions – philanthropic giving – as a springboard to explore the role of philanthropy in developing public collections in the UK.
**Will explore the role of art schools as sites of making and production, recognising their particular relationships to past industries.
**Will explore the positioning of particular works of art and the debates and discourses that have surrounded their perceived and actual value.
**Will explore the role of individuals in creating visions for particular collections.
Helen Kaplinsky is a London based independent curator and writer. She has worked with the Arts Council Collection since 2011, having been awarded an opportunity to curate the collection whilst studying Curating MFA at Goldsmiths University from 2009-11.

As co-founder of the curatorial collective IM Projects, she was one of the editors of the book, A Fine Red Line: A Curatorial Miscellany(2008).
The first display at the Whitechapel Gallery opens on 17 September 2013 and is conceived and researched by curatorial fellow Anna Colin. Colin's fellowship is funded by a previous grant from ACE in September 2012. The exhibition takes its title from the architect Charles Barry who used it as a motto during the competition to design Manchester Art Gallery, which he built in 1824. The display will include photographs, paintings, woodcuts, ceramics and glass that reference local industries from the cotton trade and ceramics to shipping and mining upon which local philanthropists built their wealth and subsequent bequests. It will bring together artworks by Walter Crane, Emily Ford, Eric Gill, Jacob Kramer, Edward Wadsworth and photographers from the social research organisation Mass Observation amongst others, all of whom were responding to both the industrial and natural landscape of the North West and the momentous social change taking place in the first half of the 20th century.
The Contemporary Art Society recently gifted David Hockney'sA Rake's Progress (1961–3) to the Whitworth Art Gallery, University of Manchester, as a bequest from Dr. Ronald Lande in memory of his life partner Walter Urech. We are delighted to present the entire set of 16 prints this summer. This seminal work is a semi-autobiographical story about Hockney, the 'rake', and the down and outs of his life in New York in the early 1960s. Its format, story and numbering system are based on William Hogarth's 1735 suite of prints of the same title. Where Hogarth's 18th century prints illustrate the decline and fall of Tom Rakewell, Hockney's work tells the story of the rake arriving in New York through to his eventual fate in Bedlam, a place of the mindless masses of the 'other people'. CuratorHelen Stalker of the Whitworth Art Gallery discusses the pervading influence of A Rake's Progress at the Contemporary Art Society on 13 June.
The Renaissance Strategic support fund supports activity that will contribute to the Arts Council's goals, particularly in ensuring that museums become more sustainable, resilient and innovative, and able to attract wider audiences. For more information on the Renaissance programme please visit the Arts Council's website.
Arts Council England champions, develops and invests in artistic and cultural experiences that enrich people's lives. We support a range of activities across the arts, museums and libraries – from theatre to digital art, reading to dance, music to literature, and crafts to collections. Great art and culture inspires us, brings us together and teaches us about ourselves and the world around us. In short, it makes life better. Between 2011 and 2015, we will invest £1.4 billion of public money from government and an estimated £1 billion from the National Lottery to help create these experiences for as many people as possible across the country.

TOP STORIES / World / Africa
A snapshot of some of the worst countries for journalists in Africa
The state of media freedom in Africa is a mixed bag of improvement in some countries and an escalation of violations in others. We take a look at some of the worst places on the continent to be a journalist.
Ghana is the top African country in the 2018 World Press Freedom Index compiled by Reporters Without Borders, while Eritrea ranks at the very bottom on a worldwide scale.
DW takes a look at the African media landscape and casts a spotlight on some of its worst press freedom violators.
Media freedom is considered non-existent, having collapsed in 2001 when a brutal state crackdown on independent media saw waves of arrests. President Isaias Afeworki is widely regarded as a "predator" of press freedom and uses the national media as his mouthpiece. Writers, broadcasters and artists are censored and information is blatantly withheld from citizens.
The government has called social media "a new form of terrorism" andblocks it frequently. Radio and television broadcasts were blocked for two weeks in March in the run-up to elections. Newspapers publishing reports which displease officials are banned and journalists and publishers detained.
Khartoum adheres to so-called pre-publication censorship, detains journalists arbitrarily and openly interferes in news production. The Freedom of Information law of 2015 is dismissed as yet another means to ensure government control over public information. Journalists must pass a test and seek permission to work.
Journalists risk arbitrary arrest, assault and intimidation. In recent months the government has clamped down on social media platforms and cyber-activists in particular. The internet has been blocked countrywide since March 28. It followed an internet blackout ahead of civil society demonstrations and a protest by the media dubbed "a day without press."
Independent local and foreign journalists face difficulties as they try to go about their work. Security forces destroy equipment to disrupt media operations. Privately-owned media organizations have no access to advertising.
Journalists at a press freedom march in Burundi, where the media face repression and intimidation
Journalists are forced by the government to avoid coverage of conflict.Foreign media have reported being harassed and bannedfrom the young country, where at least 10 journalists have reportedly been killed since 2011.
Media watchdogs say journalists have been murdered, beaten, detained and threatened since Joseph Kabila took over the presidency from his father in 2001. International media outlets complain that the government often jams radio signals or cuts transmission. Protests by the opposition prompt authorites to disconnect or disrupt the internet.
State repression towards press freedom and the intimidation of journalists is widespread. State-controlled media is increasingly replacing independent radio stations, most of which were forced to close during an attempted coup three years ago. Hundreds of journalists have fled the country since 2015. Many are now in Rwanda, Kenya and Belgium.
Journalists in Zimbabwe cover a protest of members of the opposition towards the end of the Robert Mugabe era in 2017
Critics say President John Magufuli has deliberately targeted freedom of expression since he came into office in 2015. Journalists have been arrested or have disappeared altogether. Media organizations have been shut down for lengthy periods of time and newspapers barred from publishing. Laws that can be used against the media have been tightened.
The absolute monarchy has a reputation for obstructing access to information and actively preventing journalists from doing their jobs. The media is subject to strict laws and reporters are often taken to court over their coverage. Media self-censorship is considered systematic. One editor recently fled the country after reporting on shady business deals linked to King Mswati III.
The government has a stranglehold on the media and journalists work under highly restrictive conditions. Along with Eritrea, the country has one of the highest rates of arrested journalists in sub-Saharan Africa. Social media plaforms are sometimes blocked by the state and diaspora print and broadcast media outlets are regularly targeted.

Diego Rivera is one of Mexico's most famed artists, known most prominently for his enormous contribution to Mexican muralism. However, he was also a painter, influenced by both cubism and surrealism at the start of his career, before beginning his trajectory towards the mural master that we remember him for being nowadays. With that in mind, here's a chronological introduction to Diego Rivera in 10 artworks.
Considered Rivera's first major masterpiece, Zapatista Landscape (The Guerrilla) is a key piece to consider if you want an introduction to this Mexican artist. The cubist influences are clear to see, as are the political interests that will later come to dominate and in many ways define Rivera's career. There are also many Mexican elements incorporated, from a rifle to a serape, a sombrero to the backdrop of the mountains, helping the piece capture a national mood.
A second cubist piece, painted a year after the aforementioned Zapatista Landscape, Motherhood is a modern take on the Madonna and child. This version, however, is actually a painting of Rivera's wife at the time – Angelina Beloff – and their newborn child, who was to die soon after birth. His joy at the birth of a child is clear to see through the rejection of a typically monochrome cubist colour scheme, and use of vibrant hues instead.
Now we move into the realm for which Rivera is best known; muralism. History of Mexico took six years to complete but the overwhelming skill that went into it is clear to see. Located in the Palacio Nacional, Mexico City, the vast, awe-inspiring piece depicts (obviously) Mexican history. If you want a unique history lesson, this is the Rivera piece to check out, and there are even future predictions on the south wall. From the Aztec culture to the Spanish conquest, nothing is sugar-coated in this masterpiece.
Emiliano Zapata, one of the leading figures of the Mexican Revolution, is the star of the show in Rivera's 1932 fresco titled Agrarian Leader Zapata. Portraying the Zapata-led triumph of the working man over the wealthy landowner, this artwork shows him riding a horse, towering over the dead body of one of the aforementioned landowners. This piece is particularly important as it was the lead artwork in the MoMA, New York's second ever monographic exhibition in 1931-2.
Rivera's run of popularity and success in the US rolled on in the early 1930s as he was commissioned to paint the Detroit Industry series of frescoes in the Detroit Institute of Art, Michigan. This collection is the one Rivera himself allegedly considered his greatest achievement. Composed of 27 separate images, the series focuses on Ford workers at the River Rouge Plant, and hones in on Rivera's preoccupation with the working man.
An iconic image, you've more than likely seen this 1934 piece already. While it was originally intended to take up residence in the Rockefeller Center, New York City, the project was halted after Rivera included the image of famed Communist, Lenin. After refusing to remove this crucial piece of the mural puzzle, he was recommissioned to paint Man at the Crossroads in the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. This piece is technically titled Man, Controller of the Universe, however it often goes by both names.
Swimming in the sea of Rivera murals is this lovely portrait titled Dancer Resting. Notable for its social realism, as well as its excellent execution, deceptively simple yet intriguing subject matter, and demonstration that Rivera did in fact also paint portraits, Dancer Resting is incredibly striking. It is, however, a comparatively lesser known Rivera piece. This can be seen at the Dolores Olmedo Museum in Mexico City.
Notable for its focus on, once again, the common man, El Vendedor de Alcatraces is a representation of one of Rivera's favoured subject matters. It is also worthy of including in an introduction to this famed artist because it parallels and reflects so many of his other paintings which also feature flower vendors and sellers. Dominated by the vibrancy of the flowers, the seller is hunched, pressed into the ground and unable to appreciate their beauty. His political and social leanings are clear to see here.
No introduction to an artist would be complete without an example of self-portraiture; that is, after all, the clearest reflection of how they see themselves. Rivera's portrait features him from a side on position, but staring straight out at the observer, and holding in his hand a note to whom the portrait is dedicated. It says that he painted this image for the beautiful and famous artist Irene Rich in Santa Barbara, California.
Finally, another sprawling Rivera masterpiece wraps up our introduction to this Mexican artist. Titled La Gran Tenochtitlan, it is a depiction of the ancient Aztec city which was once situated on what is now the modern day Mexican capital. The people are the foregrounded focus here, with the sprawling city stretching out into the background and beyond. Managing to eloquently convey the sense of nobility in the culture, this is definitely an iconic example of his work.
