The University of Western Cape's (UWC) stranglehold on the men's national club championship over the past few years came to a thrilling end when the University of Johannesburg (UJ) ended their reign in a pulsating final in Westville at the weekend.
UJ closed proceedings with a 25-20 25-23 14-25 22-25 15-4 score line to reach the podium as gold medallists for the first time since the inception of the tournament in 2000, reports Donovan Nair.
Defending champions, UWC marched into the final by thrashing Cigma 3-0 and All All Star Saints in the quarter final and semi finals respectively.
UJ dealt a cruel blow to KZN's podium hopefuls Liberte and the Durban University of Technology (DUT) by forcing them out of the tournament in straight sets (3-0) in the quarter and semi-final stages respectively.
The opening set of the men's final was a great contest with punishing power attacking, strong defence at the net and equally good cover play that set the stage for a pulsating match. Rising to the occasion UJ's prolific attackers, Tawanda Mafuva and the left-handed Thabiso Chiguta set the court alight with fearless attacking. Not to be outdone UWC's Grant Goldschmidt, Zenomen Jullies, Dean Layters and Velisa Ntsuntshe responded to stay abreast in the contest. UWC setter Ricardo Valentine's quick reverse sets to Goldschmidt in position two were especially devastating as the latter created havoc when ever Valentine turned to him.
When UWC's experienced middle blocker, Margo Daniels tightened his grip at the net it brought UWC on level terms at 17-17.
UJ's Keifer Govender stepped up to take the lion's share of the attack and he did not disappoint his coach as he pounded attack after attack to stretch their lead to 22-18. A well timed block by Panashe Chiguta on Margo Daniels pushed the score to 23-18. Goldschmidt and Jullies added two points on the trot to close the gap at 24-20.
When a pressure serve from Goldschmidt floated out of bounds it handed UJ a morale boosting 25-20 first set win.
Continuing with their winning ways, UJ were quick to get off the starting blocks with a 4-1 lead. Goldschmidt, Jullies and Dean Layters and brought UWC back into the hunt by levelling matters at 14-14.
At times the contest between youngsters Dean Layters and UJ's Keifer Govender was well received by the fans who responded with loud cheering as a mark of their appreciation. With Tawanda Mafuva (the tournament's best attacker) and Thabiso Chiguta in superb form, UJ were on course to win the second set. When Keifer fired one of his trademark missiles from position two it gave UJ a hard fought 25-23 win.
With a 2-0 lead one would expect UJ to push ahead to wrap up proceedings in the quickest possible time. However with UWC piling on the pressure in a 'do or die' third set , things became decidedly uncomfortable for UJ. When confusion reigned in UJ's back court, coach Hugan Coopasamy brought on his back up setter to rest Sunker and his prolific attacker, Keifer Govender .
Dean Layers was in fluent form as he helped UWC to take the set with a well earned 25-14 score line.
In the fourth set UWC directed their sets to Zinomen Jullies who towered over Jeremy Sunker whenever the diminutive setter was in front court. UWC quickly capitalised on Sunker's inability to stop Jullies at the net.
Keifer Govender's return to the team brought UJ on level terms (17-17) with the high riding UWC.
The closely contested fourth set ended in favour of UWC when Goldschmidt unleashed a down-the-line spike that pounded off the court and rose high up toward the ceiling. UWC won the set by a 25-22 margin and forced the encounter to a deciding fifth set.
The final set an all UJ affair as UWC seemed to be visibly absent as UJ raced to an 11-4 lead in double quick time. With nothing tangible to offer against UJ, UWC bowed out when Velisa Ntsuntshe's hurried middle attack failed to cross the net.
UJ rejoiced with a runaway 15-4 score line to reach the podium as gold medallists in a national club championship for the first time.

American Coal Foundation
The American Coal Foundation is a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit funded by coal and mining interests that creates and distributes educational materials, like school curricula, to teachers in an effort to positively influence children's perception of the extractive energy industries.
ACF's elementary school lesson plans include an activity called "Cookie Mining," where students participate in a simulation of the mining process using chocolate chip cookies and toothpicks.[1] Other subjects covered include "clean coal" and mining reclamation.[2]

Controversy over materials: coal curriculum
In May 2011, it was reported that the American Coal Foundation paid Scholastic to help produce and place in classrooms maps and worksheets called the "United States of Energy," with much of the information from the National Mining Association, a coal-lobbying group. One widely distributed chart did not mention damage from mining or pollution. The Coal Foundation had been distributing materials on its own, then partnered with Scholastic so that 66,000 fourth grade teachers received materials to build into lesson plans.
In the Appalachian mining communities of Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia, mining companies sponsor Coal Education Development and Resources (CEDAR), which offers teachers booklets and DVDs produced by coal-burning utility AEP and mining giant Peabody Coal. One emphasizes how Kentucky has benefited from coal mine reclamation, with little mention of any negatives of strip mining. And on the issue of coal's carbon dioxide emissions, CEDAR offers teachers a video, titled "The Greening of Planet Earth" that asserts: "As more and more scientists are confirming, our world is deficient in carbon dioxide and a doubling of atmospheric CO2 is very beneficial."[3]
On May 13, 2011, Scholastic, Inc., issued the following statement regarding its partnership with the American Coal Foundation: "This week, Scholastic came under criticism for an 11" x 16" poster map which displays different sources of energy – coal, nuclear, hydroelectric, solar, wind and natural gas – not so much for the content of the poster but primarily for its sponsorship by the American Coal Foundation. We acknowledge that the mere fact of sponsorship may call into question the authenticity of the information, and therefore conclude that we were not vigilant enough as to the effect of sponsorship in this instance. We have no plans to further distribute this particular program."[3]
The New York Times noted that materials from the American Coal Foundation fail to mention the downsides of burning coal, particularly its negative effects on the environment and human life, such as the removal of Appalachian mountaintops; the release of sulfur dioxide, mercury and arsenic; the toxic wastes; the mining accidents; and the lung disease.[4]
The organization also stated that the publisher would be undertaking a thorough review of its policy and editorial procedures on sponsored content in the future.[5]

This evening the Costa Mesa City Council will, once again, consider the question of whether or not to formally accept more than $560,000 federal dollars designed to provide temporary relief to some Costa Mesa residents currently without housing or soon to be without housing. These folks, punched in the gut by the current economic crisis, may be living on the street, in their cars, in homeless shelters, in motels or temporarily with friends or relatives.
The funds, identified as Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program (HPRP) funds, were authorized by the federal government for use in our city based on our successful application earlier this year, but were on the verge of being rejected at the previous council meeting on September 1st. Mayor Allan Mansoor and Mayor Pro Tem Wendy Leece expressed great displeasure at the possibility that some of the funds might find their way into the hands of illegal immigrants. As was mentioned in a recent Daily Pilot article, they seemed willing to throw the baby out with the bath water.
Councilman Gary Monahan stalled the rejection by suggesting that the item be continued until the meeting tonight, at which they may have a full council to consider the issue - Eric Bever was absent again on the September 1st meeting. Monahan implied that perhaps additional clarification could be found on the subject of just who may or may not get these funds in the interim.
After reading the current staff report it is clear that a solution is at hand - one that will insure to Mansoor, Leece and any other latinophobes in our city - that no illegal immigrants will receive any of the funds. The two contractors selected by the city to manage this process for us have apparently agreed to use a screening tool provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that will exclude any applicants who are in this country illegally.
In my view, this is one of those "good news/bad news" situations. The good news is that some members of our community who are in dire straits financially will be provided temporary assistance to acquire a roof over their heads until they can get established and become self-sufficient. The bad news is that Mansoor and Leece's reaction to this issue demonstrates to the world, once again, that Costa Mesa is a community in which some elected leaders are intolerant of a demographic group in our city that makes up approximately one-third of the population.
I expect that there will be more than a few folks in the audience tonight to make their views known on this subject. While some may express their displeasure with Mansoor and Leece, it looks like that issue - like the long gone buggy whip - is now irrelevant. I can see no reason why this program will be rejected this evening.
What is quite disturbing about this whole drama was the willingness of Mansoor and Leece to simply reject this program without asking probing questions. Had it not been for Monahan's quick intervention these dollars would have been rejected by the council two weeks ago, turned over to the state and homeless residents would continue in their downward economic spiral. I can only chalk up their actions to a combination of ignorance, an inability to grasp even slightly complex issues and deep-seated intolerance of Latinos in our city. This kind of narrow-minded approach to governance should not be forgotten at future elections.
It's Time To Stand Up And Speak Up!

Drone regulations and links for people flying drones in Tuvalu.
We haven't found any drone laws for Tuvalu in our research.
That being said, we don't recommend assuming that you can travel to Tuvalu and fly your drone.
The absence of drone laws doesn't necessarily mean you can fly wherever or however you like in Tuvalu—in fact, it could mean that authorities will be generally opposed to the use of drones, especially by tourists.
Know something we don't about drone laws in Tuvalu? Send us an email at support[at]uavcoach[dot]com. We are not international aviation attorneys and do our best to keep this page up-to-date for drone pilots, but the reality is that given the pace of the small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) industry and how governments are responding, drone regulations in Tuvalu can change throughout the year, and those changes can be hard to track. If we missed something, please reach out to let us know.

Q: Why equal to operator does not work if it is not surrounded by space? I tried the following script
#!/bin/bash
var1="Test 1"
var2="Test 2"
if [ "$var1"="$var2" ]
  then
    echo "Equal"
  else
    echo "Not equal"
fi

It gave me Equal. Although it should have printed Not equal
Only when I inserted space around = it worked as intended
if [ "$var1" = "$var2" ]

and printed Not equal
Why is it so? Why "$var1"="$var2" is not same as "$var1" = "$var2"?
Moreover, when I wrote if [ "$var1"= "$var2" ], it gave
line 4: [: Test 1=: unary operator expected

What does it it mean? How come its expecting unary operator?

A: test (or [ expr ]) is a builtin function. Like all functions in bash, you pass its arguments as whitespace separated words.
As the man page for bash builtins states: "Each operator and operand must be a separate argument."
It's just the way bash and most other Unix shells work.
Variable assignment is different.
In bash a variable assignment has the syntax: name=[value]. You cannot put unquoted spaces around the = because bash would not interpret this as the assignment you intend. bash treats most lists of words as a command with parameters.
E.g.
# call the command or function 'abc' with '=def' as argument
abc =def

# call 'def' with the variable 'abc' set to the empty string
abc= def

# call 'ghi' with 'abc' set to 'def'
abc=def ghi

# set 'abc' to 'def ghi'
abc="def ghi"

A: When the shell reads

if [ "$var1" = "$var2" ]

it invokes the command [ with 4 arguments.  Whether [ is a builtin or an external command is irrelevant, but it may help to understand that it may be the external command /bin/[.  The second argument is the literal '=' and the fourth is ']'.  However, when the shell reads

if [ "$var1"= "$var2" ]

[ only gets 3 arguments: the expansion of $var1 with '=' appended, the expansion of $var2, and ']'.  When it gets only 3 arguments, it expects the last argument to be ']' and the first argument to be a unary operator.

A: To add to the existing explanation, "$var1"="$var2" is just a single non-empty string, and thus always evaluates as true in a conditional.
[ "$var1"="$var2" ] && echo true

The above command will always print out true (even if var1 and var2 be empty).

A: In bash the best is to use [[ ]]:
x="test"
y="test"
if [[ "${x}" = "${y}" ]]; then
    echo "Equals"
else
    echo "No equals"
fi

Feminist Cultural Studies of Science and Technology
Maureen McNeil
Feminist Cultural Studies of Science and Technology challenges the assumption that science is simply what scientists do, say, or write: it shows the multiple and dispersed makings of science and technology in everyday life and popular culture.
This first major guide and review of the new field of feminist cultural studies of science and technology provides readers with an accessible introduction to its theories and methods. Documenting and analyzing the recent explosion of research which has appeared under the rubric of 'cultural studies of science and technology' it examines the distinctive features of the 'cultural turn' in science studies and traces the contribution feminist scholarship has made to this development. Interrogating the theoretical and methodological features it evaluates the significance of this distinctive body of research in the context of concern about public attitudes to science and contentious debates about public understanding of and engagement with science.

Home People Social Sciences and the Law Law: Biographies Leroy Eldridge Cleaver
Cleaver, Leroy Eldridge
West's Encyclopedia of American Law
Eldridge Cleaver rose to prominence in the late 1960s as a leading African American intellectual and political revolutionary. As minister of information for the black panther party during tumultuous years of social upheaval, Cleaver became a symbol of rebellion, freedom, and eloquence for those seeking political and social change. His 1968 best-selling book of essays Soul on Ice served as a kind of guidebook for radicals in the New Left, student, and civil rights movements of the day. Cleaver was involved with the U.S. legal system as a convict, social critic, political activist, political candidate, fugitive, and business owner.
Leroy Eldridge Cleaver was born August 3, 1935, in Wabbaseka, Arkansas. When he was still young, the family moved to Phoenix, and then to the Watts section of Los Angeles. While in Los Angeles during his teenage years, Cleaver was arrested for bicycle theft and for selling marijuana, and was sent to two different reformatories. In 1954, he was again arrested for dealing marijuana and was sentenced to two-and-a-half years at the California State Prison at Soledad.
Unreformed by his first prison stay, Cleaver resumed dealing drugs and embarked on a series of rapes, directed first at black women, then at white women. He later came to see the recklessness and inhumanity of these crimes as both a product of his own misguided choices and a reaction to the racism of U.S. society. In Soul on Ice, he described the delight he felt at "defying and trampling upon the white man's law" through these actions. He also claimed that his motivation in the rapes was to get "revenge" for "the historical fact of how the white man has used the black woman."
"What we're saying today is that you're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem."
—Leroy Cleaver
In 1958, roughly a year after his release from the Soledad prison, Cleaver was arrested again, this time for armed assault when he attempted to rape a nurse in a parking lot. During his subsequent eight-year stay in the San Quentin and Folsom prisons, Cleaver read widely and became a member and minister of the nation of islam, often called the Black Muslims. He also became an admirer of malcolm x, a Nation of Islam leader. When Malcolm X broke from the group in 1963, Cleaver followed his example.
Cleaver was released from prison for the second time in 1965—the same year that Malcolm X was assassinated, allegedly by Nation of Islam members—with the help of Beverly Axelrod, a white San Francisco lawyer. Correspondence and a brief love affair between Axelrod and Cleaver had led to Axelrod's help in getting several essays by Cleaver published in Ramparts, an influential left-wing magazine. These essays, in turn, had built support for Cleaver's cause among members of the U.S. intellectual community, including writer Norman Mailer. The support of such intellectuals helped persuade the parole board to release Cleaver from prison.
After his parole Cleaver began writing for Ramparts. In 1967, while living in the San Francisco Bay area, Cleaver married Kathleen Neal, who had been an activist with the student nonviolent coordinating committee (SNCC). In that same year, he befriended huey p. newton and bobby seale, cofounders of the Black Panthers, and he soon became that group's minister of information. The Black Panthers was an African American political organization that sought to defend the African American community from police intimidation and violence. As part of their self-defense actions, Black Panthers carried guns and law books, followed police cars, and observed police encounters with African Americans.
As a spokesperson for the Panthers, Cleaver explained the group's goals and ideas to the rest of the world. In media interviews, for example, he described how "Pig Power" or "the Gestapo power of the police" contributed to many of the problems in the African American community.
In February 1968, Cleaver published Soul on Ice, the book that made him a celebrity. It quickly became a best-seller and was named Book of the Year by the New York Times. The book begins with the observation that Cleaver's first year in prison, 1954, coincided with that of the landmark Supreme Court case brown v. board of education of topeka, kansas, 347 U.S. 483, 74 S. Ct. 686, 98 L. Ed. 873, the first significant legal victory African Americans achieved in the civil rights movement. The book explores, among its many topics, Cleaver's relationship to Malcolm X, Cleaver's rejection of U.S. capitalism, the solidarity between African Americans and citizens of third-world countries, the relationship between sexuality and race in the United States, and Cleaver's admiration of the student movement of the 1960s. The book also deals with themes that came to dominate African American political activism of the time: racial pride, rejection of white standards of beauty, and acceptance of violence as a necessary part of political struggle.
In his essay "Domestic Law and International Order," Cleaver reflected on the situation of African Americans in light of the vietnam war and of the suppression of the Watts riots of 1965 by the national guard. For Cleaver, both these events were examples of U.S. imperialism, with the U.S. army in Vietnam and the police in Watts acting as essentially identical agents of state coercion over colonized peoples:
The police do on the domestic level what the armed forces do on the international level: protect the way of life of those in power. The police patrol the city, cordon off communities, blockade neighborhoods, invade homes, search for that which is hidden. The armed forces patrol the world, invade countries and continents, cordon off nations, blockade islands and whole peoples…. The policeman and the soldier will have the last word.
Accordingly, Cleaver called for African Americans,"who in this land of private property have all private and no property," to oppose this system and fight for power and property.
The success of Soul on Ice, combined with a vacuum in African American leadership caused by the assassinations of martin luther kingjr. and Malcolm X, and the imprisonment of other leaders such as Newton, made Cleaver seem for a brief time to be an important African American leader. In the spring of 1968, he was nominated for the presidency of the United States by the white radical Peace and Freedom party. During his candidacy he spoke out for a revolutionary movement that involved both blacks and whites. He received 30,000 votes nationally.
Cleaver's time in the spotlight was cut short as a result of violence that erupted between the police and the Panthers. On April 6, 1968,—two days after the assassination of King—Cleaver was involved in a shoot-out with the police in which one Black Panther was killed. Cleaver was arrested, but two months later was released on a writ of habeas corpus (release from unlawful imprisonment). A higher court later reversed his release and scheduled him for reincarceration in November 1968. Cleaver chose to become a fugitive from the law and fled to Cuba.
Cleaver's exile overseas was accompanied by a rapid decline in his influence as both a political and intellectual leader. His short stay in Cuba was followed by stints in Algeria, North Korea, and Paris. He continued to speak out as a revolutionary during his time overseas. Sometimes his revolutionary efforts were in the sartorial rather than political sphere, as in 1975 when he attempted to publicize his design for Cleavers, a new type of pants that featured a codpiece intended to display the male sexual organ. The new pants would, he theorized, revolutionize sexual attitudes in a way that would ultimately eliminate such crimes as rape. They would also, Cleaver said, "abolish … the crime of indecent exposure" and replace it with "decent exposure."
After he had lived for several years in communist countries, Cleaver's political radicalism began to wane and he became more conservative in his beliefs. Eventually, he could no longer abide life away from the United States, and by the mid-1970s Cleaver began to voice a different view of his native country. In 1975 he returned to the States where he was immediately put in prison."I'd rather be in jail in America than free anywhere else," Cleaver commented after his return.
Cleaver's subsequent career in the United States was marked by a series of unsuccessful ventures as he has tried to regain the spotlight. While in jail in 1976 he announced that he was a born-again Christian and renounced the Marxism-Leninism and atheism of his Black Panther days. After his release on bail he began a short career as leader of a religious revivalist movement, the Eldridge Cleaver Crusades. In 1980, he attempted to create a new church called "Christlam," a synthesis of Christianity and Islam. He also dabbled with Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church and the mormon church becoming, for a short period, a Black Mormon. Cleaver was a perennially unsuccessful candidate for political office, running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1984 and for the U.S. Senate in 1986. In the second race he campaigned as a conservative Republican, the ultimate rebuke to his earlier radicalism.
Cleaver continued to have run-ins with the law. In 1987, he was arrested for cocaine possession and the following year he was arrested for theft from a residence. He was ordered to make restitution and was placed on parole for three years. Also in 1987, the Cleavers divorced.
Cleaver was again arrested for cocaine possession in 1992, but the charges were dropped, and in 1994 he was seriously injured by a blow to the head from a fellow drug addict. In the mid-1990s, Cleaver was owner of a recycling company in Oakland and a lecturer.
Cleaver started work in February 1998 as a consultant to the Coalition for Diversity at the University of LaVerne located in southern California. A few months later, however, on May 1, 1998, he died in Pomona, Californa.
Although his public career was a mixed success, Cleaver's writings and activities have affected U.S. politics and culture. Besides Soul on Ice, his books include Eldridge Cleaver: Post-Prison Writings and Speeches (1969) and Soul on Fire (1978). And despite his later rejection of many of the Black Panther beliefs, Cleaver viewed that group's legacy as beneficial. "The Black Panther Party," he said,"played a very positive role at a decisive moment toward the liberation of Black people in America."

Leroy Eldridge Cleaver
Encyclopedia of World Biography
COPYRIGHT 2004 The Gale Group Inc.
Leroy Eldridge Cleaver (born 1935), an American writer and a leader of the Black Panther party, was noted for advocating violent revolution within the United States.
Leroy Eldridge Cleaver was born August 31, 1935 in Wabbaseka, Arkansas, the son of Leroy Cleaver, a waiter and piano player, and Thelma Cleaver, an elementary school teacher. When his father became a dining car waiter on the Super Chief, a train running from Chicago to Los Angeles, the family moved to Phoenix, Arizona, one of the train's stops. Young Cleaver earned money by shining shoes after school. Two years later, the family moved to the Watts section of Los Angeles. Cleaver dropped out of Abraham Lincoln Junior High School after his parents separated. His petty crime record began at the age of 12 with the theft of a bicycle. He was sent to the Fred C. Nelles School for Boys in Whittier, California, where he was inspired to commit more sophisticated crimes. In 1953, he was released from Nelles and was soon sent to the Preston School of Industry for selling marijuana. Soon after his release from Preston, he was again arrested for possession of marijuana and, now an adult, was sentenced to a two-and one-half-year sentence at the California State Prison at Soledad in June of 1954.
At Soledad, Cleaver completed his high school education and read the works of Karl Marx, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Thomas Paine. After his release from Soledad, he went back to selling marijuana and became a rapist on the weekend. This led him to be arrested for "assault with intent to murder" at the end of 1957 and was sentenced to two to fourteen years at San Quentin Prison. He later was transferred to Folsom Prison in Represa, California.
In the early 1960s, while in jail, Cleaver decided to give up crime. He was influenced by the teachings of the Black Muslims and became a follower of Malcolm X. When Malcolm broke with the Black Muslims, so did Cleaver. Then he became an advocate of "black power," as this position was enunciated by Stokely Carmichael.
Also while in jail, Cleaver wrote essays, some published in 1962 in the Negro History Bulletin; these dealing mainly with racial pride and black nationalism. Out of these autobiographical essays came his first book, Soul on Ice (1968).
Ramparts magazine, which had brought Cleaver to public attention by publishing some of his prison articles, and Cleaver's lawyer were instrumental in securing his parole in 1966. He immediately began a new life as a writer and political activist. He helped found Black House, a social center for San Francisco youth. In 1967, he met the men who had founded the Black Panther party the year before. He became the party's minister of information, responsible for editing its newspaper. Later that year, he married Kathleen Neal. She became the communications secretary of the Black Panther party. The couple had two children.
With Soul on Ice Cleaver gained national prominence. On April 15, 1968, along with the widow of Martin Luther King Jr., and others, he addressed a mass rally against the Vietnam War in San Francisco.
As he became increasingly outspoken against racial, economic, and political injustices in America, Cleaver's parole officer advised him to discontinue his political activities. But Cleaver was becoming convinced that conditions for African-American people could not be alleviated without a violent revolution. To effect this, he felt, massive education was required to politicize the people. One method was to utilize a political campaign. In 1968, he urged the Black Panther party to unite with the predominantly white Peace and Freedom party in California to nominate candidates for local and state offices. Cleaver's wife became a candidate on the Peace and Freedom party ticket for the California State Assembly, along with the Black Panther's Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale.
In April 1968, following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., and after harassment by the police of the Black Panther party, Cleaver was involved in a shoot-out with the Oakland police. One man was killed, and Cleaver was wounded in the foot and arrested. He was accused of violating his parole by possessing a gun, associating with people of bad reputation, and failing to cooperate with his parole agent. He was released on $50,000 bail.
In the next few months, Cleaver became a prominent spokesman of the radical, revolutionary left. He had moved from cultural, African-American nationalism to a more Marxist interpretation of revolutionary change. Cleaver believed that African-Americans should ally themselves with radical whites, and he criticized those African-American nationalists who refused such coalitions. During this period, he toured America as the presidential candidate of the Peace and Freedom party. He lectured on racism at the University of California in the fall of 1968.
Cleaver was scheduled to surrender to prison authorities in November 1968 for hearings on the charge of parole violation. Instead, he disappeared. He went to Cuba, North Korea, and Algeria and in September 1970 announced the establishment of an international office for the Black Panther party in Algiers.
While in exile, Cleaver championed "the angels of destruction" and the "great educational value" of murder. Cleaver accused Newton of putting the Black Panthers in the past by advocating community service programs over armed revolution. Cleaver was accused by others of abusing his wife while in Algeria and of having other Black Panthers killed. In March of 1971, Cleaver and Newton expelled each others' faction from the party, thus ending its heyday as the major voice for African-American activism in America.
In 1976, Cleaver returned to America to vote for Jimmy Carter and to face his accusers in California. Cleaver had changed his beliefs again while in Africa and now "stopped being a communist or socialist and developed an understanding and respect for free enterprise and the democratic political system." He joined the Mormon church and began to lecture on conservative issues and sell ceramic pots. He eventually set up a recycling business and tried, unsuccessfully, to get the backing of the Republican party for the a 1984 run for the US Senate.
Cleaver later divorced his wife and went to Harvard Law School. Cleaver then moved back to Berkeley, California and became a preacher. A recovering drug addict, Cleaver now speaks in school, prisons, and churches about the importance of resolving conflicts without violence and is working on a new autobiography.
Eldridge Cleaver: Post Prison Writings and Speeches was edited by Robert Scheer in 1968. Lee Lockwood's talks with Cleaver were published as Conversations with Eldridge Cleaver: Algiers (1970). Books about the Black Panthers that include Cleaver are Gene Marine The Black Panthers (1969), Ruth Marion Baruch and Pirkle Jones The Vanguard: A Photographic Essay on the Black Panthers (1970), Philip S. Foner, ed. The Black Panthers Speak (1970), and Bobby Seale Seize the Time (1970). Two books critical of the Black Panthers are Earl Anthony Picking Up the Gun (1970), and I Was a Black Panther, as told to C. J. Moore (1970). Cleaver's own autobiography is Soul On Fire (1978). Much biographical information on Cleaver can be found in David Leon Leaders From the 1960s: A Biographical Sourcebook of American Activism (1994), and a biography of Cleaver to that point can be found in the 1970 issue of Current Biography. Cleaver also appears in August 1996 issue of Ebony magazine. □

These are examples, however there are many more seldom heard groups we hope to support through this campaign.
People from seldom heard groups face barriers to accessing good health and social care, which at time fails to meet their needs. Challenges can include a lack of awareness and cultural understanding across health and social care settings. This problem has become more acute as public service budgets have been cut.
Through our diverse membership the DAA is well placed to improve this situation by harnessing the resources and ideas of our members and of other organisations operating across health and social care.
In June 2017 the DAA hosted a series of evidence gathering roundtables with leading stakeholders involved in delivering care and support of seldom heard groups. The roundtables covered dementia and learning disabilities, dementia within prison settings and within the LGBT+ community.
Following these roundtables, a set of recommendations and actions were developed along with a pledge that asks everyone to sign to demonstrate their commitment to this cause. The campaign was then launched in September 2017 at the DAA Quarterly Meeting held at the Royal College of Nursing, London.
If you would like to learn more about the campaign and how you can get involved, get in touch.

Coronavirus outbreak: Mizoram bans mass gathering
AIZAWL , March 14, 2020 12:52 pm
In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, the Mizoram government has banned mass gathering and social events across the state, an official said on Friday.
The official said that government departments, NGOs, educational institutions, churches and other organisations were instructed to avoid mass gathering and a big event to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus in the state.
He said that the steps were being taken as a preventive measure.
According to the official, Chief Minister Zoramthanga also sent an appeal to churches to avoid conference and pilgrimage.
He said that the government also discouraged travelling to other states and abroad as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the deadly disease.
However, malls, schools and colleges would remain open, he added.
Meanwhile, Mizoram University has postponed its convocation, which was scheduled to be held on March 17 due to the outbreak of coronavirus.
The university has also asked all its affiliated colleges to avoid mass gathering events on their campuses.
The Central Committee of Young Mizo Association (YMA) also postponed important events of its branches and units which were due later this month following an appeal by the government to avoid public gathering.
The state excise and narcotics department also postponed a written examination to recruit constables, which was scheduled for March 28.
At least three people were arrested on Friday in connection with the fake news about coronavirus that has been widely circulated on messaging apps- WhatsApp on Monday, police said.
Earlier, police have arrested 11 people for spreading the same fake news. They were later released on bail.
Police also said that one person has also been arrested on Thursday for spreading separate fake news about coronavirus.
All the 15 accused were booked under section 505 (1) (b) of the IPC, they said.

3 Things That Worry Me About Clemson
Georgia opens the season against the #3 team in the country, a team that wears orange, a team that is like another school but with a lake, a team with a front seven as good or better than our own, a team that has won 3 national championships since we last won ours, away from home in yet another state with good but misplaced judgments on barbecue sauce, in the most anticipated game of the week, and all in front of some of the best recruits in the nation. What, me worry?

Share All sharing options for: 3 Things That Worry Me About Clemson
Photo by John Byrum/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images
Here is what I'm NOT worried about for Saturday's first game against the Country Gentlemen:
1) BofA. I mean, Thomas Davis did alright in that stadium, didn't he? The Carolina Panthers franchise all-time leader in tackles stat kinda backs that up. And I think John Kasay put up a few points there too. Only if you think the all-time franchise scoring leader equates to points. Then there's this: if Brice Ramsey can spell Hutson Mason and beat an ACC team in that stadium, surely JT Daniels can do the same. Not to mention Brent Venables did his best Todd Grantham impersonation in the Tigers last outing.
2) Hustle and Flow. Much is made of the Clemson defensive front, but the case has been made these guys can be run against and they don't always get home to the QB. So JT Daniels should be able to keep them honest with some handoffs and some play action. Plus, having watched Daniels' magnificent 'stache and head of hair get pounded into the Mercedes Benz turf by Cincinnati a scant 9 months ago, I know this guy can take a hit. Seriously, he was constantly getting knocked around by that Bearcat rush. He's no threat to run for 20 yards downfield, but he can evade a rush just enough to deliver a ball. He's got the flow, and he's got the hustle.
3) Stop me if you've heard this one: Arik, John, and Darnell walk into a bar…
I'm glad you stopped me. Here's where we stand: Arik Gilbert is dealing with personal issues and we all wish him well; Darnell Washington has a foot injury that required surgery; and apparently John Fitzpatrick also has a nagging foot injury. However, is any UGA fan of the last decade really concerned we don't have depth at tight end?
In likely the most successful UGA season in the last generation, the 2017 Georgia Bulldogs tight ends averaged just over 16 yards receiving… a game. We can make up all of that production in a single James Skalski targeting call. Which he is wont to do. Throw another of the Sam Pittman legacy/Matt Luke products out there, go three wide, you still have Zeus and the rest of Mount Olympus in the backfield – you get the picture. Things will be just fine.
Now forgive me, as I was weaned at the nipple of Larry Munson's scratch on AM radio. So here's what I AM worried about versus the Sons of Clem:
1) I don't like the math. These national spotlight games have been not exactly kind to the Red and Black. I think I heard UGA is 3-9 all time in AP top 5 matchups. (I'm still not over the 1983 Sugar Bowl. Seriously. And yes, I'm that old.) If we had Pickens, and Tykee Smith (see below), and Arik Gilbert, and Warren Ericson, and all the others, I think our depth and that elite talent makes me comfortable.
But we don't have those players. We still have great talent, and we still have depth (which is a refreshing change). But so does Clemson. The QB battle can easily be a push. The OL's both lost a lot, both are shuffling players, and that could be a push. I think Clemson has a better defense overall at least on paper, mostly because of their secondary. And just because Clemson can't run on us doesn't mean squat. I would not say Clemson had an elite rushing attack in 2020, and they still won the conference and made the playoffs having to rely on a passing game. They are not one dimensional, they can exploit any given weakness. Speaking of…
2) DBRU not afraid?? If you've listened to any analysis of the Georgia Bulldog football team during the off-season, it's that the 2021 Georgia Bulldogs check off every box… except one. The secondary. And as we now know, 2020 opponents pretty much gave up trying to run consistently on Dan Lanning's defense and just tried to throw their way to a victory.
Losing Richard LeCounte last season to a freak off-field injury, and then to something called the Cleveland Browns, hurts the defensive backfield. Somehow that pesky NFL took Eric Stokes away too. Now Tykee Smith, the 2020 All-American and All-Big 12 slot cornerback, has been sidelined thanks to a training camp foot injury and is listed as questionable.
We know Lewis Cine will bring the lumber, but he's not known as a shut down corner. And Clemson's top 3 receivers are skilled to say the least, not to mention all at least 6'3". Latavious Brini and Ameer Speed are upper classmen who have bided their time and now earned starting and/or significant roles. Will that wisdom and perseverance show up on the field? Or will newcomer Jahmile Addae move other newcomers into the rotation? The Tigers aren't going to wait until we figure things out.
3) The center of attention. With Head Whiner Dabo Swinney updating the depth chart just this week with "we'll probably play multiple centers throughout the game… we'll roll somebody out there…and go from there", it does make one wonder his intentions. Surely he's aware that particular position will be going up against All-American Bulldog Jordan Davis and all his awesomeness, right? It doesn't sound like a recipe for success, certainly against Georgia's probably greatest single strength.
Then it must be a trick. Dabo is no dummy. I mean, you have to be smart to have a couple of generational-talent college quarterbacks, a no-called pick play, a fluky penalty on UNC in the ACC Championship, and a depressed conference to gift earn you two national championships. So the man knows what he's doing, and he's obviously keeping it close to the OAN vest.** With UGA trotting out it's own mostly untested starter at center, Sedrik Van Pran, this is going to be a position to watch. Especially opening against a stout Clemson front 4. And as good as Trey Hill was, he didn't exactly have a great opener against Arkansas last fall – let's hope that is one more thing from 2020 we don't see again.
Call me crazy, just don't call me late for dinner. Sound off in the comments below what worries you about our season opener between the Bulldogs of Georgia and the Tigers of Clemson.
**Editor's Note: Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy was the one wearing the OAN shirt, and not Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney. Management would like to apologize for the error, while completely forgiving the author for confusing the two, which is completely understandable.
