The Review/ Short Read/
Sofia Coppola's Certain (and Uncertain) Women
The Cannes-feted filmmaker's empathy for the plight of young women has generated as much backlash as it has acclaim
by Samuel La France
The TIFF Cinematheque retrospective Sofia Coppola: A Name of Her Own begins Friday, December 8.
Much like her brilliant contemporary Kelly Reichardt, Sofia Coppola has created a body of work about how certain women's ambitions and desires (not to mention their bodies and labour) clash with environments that are controlled by money, by perception, and, most often, by men. The film industry itself being one of those environments, it is little wonder that Coppola has drawn criticism from the very beginning of her career, with the slights against her gender conveniently disguised within a scorning of her class origins.
There is no doubt that Coppola's interest in the problems of (non-Warholian) poor little rich girls comes from a place of lived experience. Receiving her cinematic baptism from her father Francis when she appeared in The Godfather as an infant, growing up surrounded by the likes of Steven Spielberg and Marlon Brando, and collecting art photography at the same age that most young girls would be gifted their first Nikon, Coppola was primed for a life in film. Following studies at CalArts and the launch of a successful fashion line, Coppola learned that her favourite contemporary novel, Jeffrey Eugenides' The Virgin Suicides, had been optioned for a film adaptation. Convinced that she alone could do the novel justice, she drafted a screenplay as a creative exercise and eventually got the project greenlit, with herself onboard as director.
Premiering at Cannes, Coppola's lyrical, dreamlike debut attracted numerous admiring notices, but even some of the praise was shot through with dismissive references: allusions to nepotism, doubts about the extent of the young filmmaker's abilities, and snide suggestions that her famous father or then-husband Spike Jonze were involved in key creative decisions. It was the beginning of a pattern that has persisted to this day, whereby even her unquestioned triumphs or benchmarks — such as becoming only the second woman filmmaker to ever win the Best Director award at Cannes for her latest film, The Beguiled — are met with some requisite degree of derision.
Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson in Lost in Translation
The ill-starred sisters in Suicides are the first in the long line of teens (and queens) whose seemingly "perfect" existence Coppola dissects with both wry humour and affecting sympathy. She found high charm and deep sadness alike in Scarlett Johansson's jet-lagged Charlotte in Lost in Translation, adrift in a Tokyo hotel and finding an unusual kinship with Bill Murray's world-weary, over-the-hill movie star. In Marie Antoinette, she created something between a self-image and a foil in Kirsten Dunst's young monarch, who is stunned to find that her blithely luxe life has made her the most reviled woman in France. Coppola's autobiographical impulse is strongest in Somewhere, in which Hollywood star-spawn Cleo (Elle Fanning) selflessly holds her successful but deadbeat actor dad (Stephen Dorff) together with her love until he finds the strength to walk on his own.
Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning in Somewhere
Although there is a distinct thematic uniformity in Coppola's focus on women's social and emotional isolation, her range of stylistic influences is impressively diverse and eclectic. Coppola draws heavily on the masters she admires, including slow-cinema pioneers like Chantal Akerman and photographers as disparate as William Eggleston and Yelena Yumchuk. She has employed her musical affinities not merely as soundtrack adornments, but as structural elements in her films; beyond her oft-cited use of anachronistic pop tunes in Marie Antoinette, note as well the subtle variations on Air's "Playground Love" which serve as the theme to The Virgin Suicides. Coppola even borrows tricks from her cinematic forerunners to bridge themes across her works: she has twice lifted the technique of drowning out key dialogue with diegetic sound, used to great effect by Ingmar Bergman in Winter Light and by Elia Kazan during the impassioned confession scene in On the Waterfront, for the climaxes of two of her films.
Naturally, the very breadth of Coppola's references and influences have been turned against her by condescending critics (who insinuate that she is an aesthetic imitator — or worse, an amateur — rather than an artist in her own right), while her insistent empathy for the plight of young women has generated backlash from both knee-jerk reactionaries and the militant social-media warriors who rail against white privilege and its abuses. This is all the more ironic in that Coppola's empathy is not synonymous with affirmation (her perspectives on women and womanhood can be both loving and disapproving), and that her efforts to recognize and address the perceived limitations of her viewpoint — such as her excising the character of a Black female slave from The Beguiled so as "not [to] brush over such an important topic in a light way" — are met with as much antagonism as they would have been if she had ignored such matters completely.
Whatever else they may or may not be, Coppola's films have given us a powerful and distinctive female vision in a realm that has long been shaped by those of men, and her art has extolled a message of empowerment that places the value of her work far beyond any of her perceived abuses. It is this that will ultimately secure Coppola's legacy, and that — like such rare examples as Auguste and Jean Renoir, Maurice and Philippe Garrel, or Roberto and Isabella Rossellini — should compel our cultural gatekeepers to allow enough space for two great artists bearing the same name.

Q: What's the difference from printing a function and calling a function in Python? I am a little confused why the return statement won't work if I'm calling a function but will when I am printing it. Below is the example of code I worked with.
def get_favorite_food():
     food = input("What's your favorite food?")
     return 'Your favorite food' + ' ' + food + ' ' + 'is ready!'

When I try to run:
get_favorite_food()
>>>
Whats your favorite food?Macaroni

Compared to:
print(get_favorite_food())
>>>
Whats your favorite food?Macaroni
Your favorite food Macaroni is ready!

I apologize if I am using incorrect phrasing in my question. Please correct me so I could rephrase the question for myself and others!

A: When you are calling a function that returns something, you are supposed to assign a variable to the function call which would store the return value.
def get_favorite_food():
     food = input("What's your favorite food?")
     return 'Your favorite food' + ' ' + food + ' ' + 'is ready!'

result = get_favorite_food()
print(result)

In the case of printing the function call, the returned value need not be stored it is directly printed.

Q: Windows10: How do I uninstall OneDrive app via powershell? The app is listed when viewing Windows Settings => Apps but when I displayed all the packages in my system (new install) using
get-appxpackage

I cannot see it. But perhaps it's listed with an alias of sorts?
Thanks

A: I just know a CMD method to uninstall OneDrive:

*

*Open Command Prompt as Administrator

*Type in taskkill /f /im OneDrive.exe  to terminate any OneDrive processes and hit Enter.

*Type in %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall if you're using 64-bit Windows 10 and hit Enter.
You won't see a confirmation dialog or progress bar when you do this, but if you try searching for OneDrive, the app will no longer be found. Of course, your OneDrive folder and files, however, will still be available.

A: Here's Origami's CMD method in PowerShell:
ps onedrive | Stop-Process -Force
start-process "$env:windir\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe" "/uninstall"

A: This is a complete PS1 script to remove all traces of if:
Import-Module -DisableNameChecking $PSScriptRoot\..\lib\force-mkdir.psm1
Import-Module -DisableNameChecking $PSScriptRoot\..\lib\take-own.psm1

echo "Remove OneDrive"
if (Test-Path "$env:systemroot\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe") {
    & "$env:systemroot\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe" /uninstall
}
if (Test-Path "$env:systemroot\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe") {
    & "$env:systemroot\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe" /uninstall
}

echo "Disable OneDrive via Group Policies"
force-mkdir "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive"
sp "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive" "DisableFileSyncNGSC" 1

echo "Removing OneDrive leftovers trash"

echo "Removing additional OneDrive leftovers"
foreach ($item in (ls "$env:WinDir\WinSxS\*onedrive*")) {
    Takeown-Folder $item.FullName
    rm -Recurse -Force $item.FullName
}

If you want the easy uninstall way, Open cmd in admin mode, type in taskkill /f /im OneDrive.exe  to terminate OneDrive process.
Then type in either %SystemRoot%\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall if you're using 32-bit or %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall if you're using 64-bit Windows 10.

Alyssa Mendelsohn
The International Essential Tremor Foundation (IETF) is pleased to award a $500 scholarship to student Alyssa Mendelsohn from Baltimore, MD for the 2014-2015 academic year. Mendelsohn is one of four students from across the nation to receive a scholarship award from the IETF.
As an incoming freshman at Ithaca College, Mendelsohn uses her challenges with ET by keeping a positive outlook. "It'd be easy for me to list the ways in which tremor is an obstacle in my life…but the truth is, I love my tremor," said Mendelsohn. "That's not to say that we always get along or that they don't get on my nerves on a daily basis – but my tremor makes me laugh, they make me stand out in a crowd."
Mendelsohn has been a synchronized ice skater for six years and serves as team captain of her national award-winning team. She also volunteers for Give Kids the World and as a coach for a young, beginning ice skating team. During high school, she was active in choir and founded Jam Sesh, a club where students can go to let off steam and share their passion for music.
"Having ET hasn't been easy. But it's been my journey. And I wouldn't trade it for anything," said Mendelsohn. "I have essential tremor. And I'm only getting started – shaking things up."


Updated 04.02.18 - demo now more in line with final quality of released game.
Apologies if anyone had tried to download the demo recently and been unable to. This has now been fixed.
Waiting for the full-game release!
I found it quite funny, and the puzzles were pretty good too. The graphics were just okay. I wish the character would walk faster (I lose patience easily with that sort of thing). Overall its a pretty solid game. I don't have a desire to purchase the full game. Mostly because I have no idea what the continued storyline would be, and I'm not so sure I'm interested in what comes next in the story.
I like this Captain Disaster guy (kinda reminds me of me). I loved the stapler tech support and the petrified pizza bit too. Classic!
I enjoyed this demo. The graphics and animation are sharp enough to provide the required environment, the puzzles are very well crafted. The voice and sound add an excellent touch to the project.
However, I would be optimistic considering the effort and success of this achievment. Best wishes to those involved and I'm looking forward to the completed project.
The puzzles were spot on and the voice acting was good. I'm looking forward to playing the full game!
A great little game with nice graphics and humour which plays on pop-references to sci-fi that most of us love and enjoy. Nice novelty with some of the interactive elements.
The overall production quality of this demo is top notch. The animations are fantastic, the humor is lovely, the references are many, definitely a wonderful game.
I really liked it. I thought it was funny and engaging and challenging without being too frustrating. I really wanted to keep playing and would have bought it immediately if game was complete.
I really loved this demo and literally laughed out loud at certain parts of the demo! I can't wait for the full game, the humour is brilliant and the voice acting really adds to the experience! Great job guys!
I really enjoyed the demo and I look forward to the full game.
Ok, so I did have a hand in creating the game and doing some voices but that doesn't mean I can't have an opinion! This was a really well made demo put together by some great people (CaptainD and Taxler Endiosk). They had a lot of this in place before I ever lent a hand to the project and I want to congratulate them on a job well done and a demo well made!
Story line is funny and immersing, sprites are quirky and neat, music is excellent and the voice acting ain't too shabby!

Next-Gen Audi A5 Details Emerge
Viknesh Vijayenthiran March 13, 2013 Comment Now!
The second generation of Audi's handsome A5 range is expected to arrive in time for the 2017 model year, which puts its arrival date sometime in the second half of 2016. This means the current model still has a few more years of shelf life, though a recent refresh means it still looks contemporary when next to rivals like the BMW 3-Series, Lexus IS C and Mercedes-Benz C Class Coupe.
A new report from Automobile reveals some of the details we can expect on the next-generation, 2017 Audi A5, whose development will focus on refinement, lightening measures and vehicle electrification.
The new A5 will ride on an updated version of the MLB platform underpinning the current model. The MLB is the Volkswagen Group's modular platform for mid- to large-size cars and comes primarily with transversely mounted engines. At Audi, it's used in everything from the A4 right up to the A8 flagship sedan. The updated version of the MLB, the MLB Evo, was first previewed in Audi's quattro concept from 2010 and benefits from the increased use of lightweight materials.
This means that the new A5 could weigh in around 220 pounds less than the current model, which has a curb weight of almost 3,600 pounds. For additional weight saving, a hardcore 'Ultra' version with special lightweight components is said to be in the works as well.
Current model lines will carry over, with the base model continuing with a 2.0-liter TFSI engine but with output lifted slightly to 225 horsepower. The S5 will stick with a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6, with its output tuned to around 335 horsepower, while the successor to the recently launched RS 5 will drop its naturally aspirated 4.2-liter V-8 in favor of Audi's latest twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter mill. Expect power on this model to reside around 475 horsepower.
A new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission is said to be coming, trumping Audi's current S tronic dual-clutch which uses seven forward gears.
The biggest change to the A5, however, will be the availability of an electrified version. Audi will probably go with a plug-in hybrid setup, which it previewed in 2011 with its A5 e-tron quattro concept. This concept used a four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor to drive the front axle and a second electric motor on the rear axle to create a 'through-the-road' hybrid all-wheel drive system. Currently, Audi only uses this electric all-wheel drive system in motorsport but the technology will eventually be available in the automaker's production cars.
With the 2017 Audi A5 set to debut in coupe form late in 2016, we should expect to see its convertible variant approximately six months later. Further down the track, a new A5 Sportback will also appear though this model, sadly, is expected to remain off limits in the U.S.

The harsh din of my alarm bursts rudely into my dreams and drags me slowly back into the real world.
Yes, 15 minutes before my actual wake up time, I look to my smartphone to ground me from my hazy state, and I slowly come-to by catching up with all the global and personal updates that happened overnight. As I scroll down endless messages, Instagram updates and Facebook notifications I realize that this sentence is supposed to be relatable to all of us, who have a privilege of living in the information technology age.
Panoramic view of Almaty from the hills of the Kok Tobe.
This transformation is truly global; it impacts everything from the disruption of traditional industries and creation of new ones to the questionable imprint of globalization and changing patterns of personal interactions. In Kazakhstan, these changes not only shape the nature of economy but also have a significant influence on one's identity and self-image.
Over the past decade, Kazakhstan has witnessed a staggering increase in Internet users from merely 3% in 2005 to more than 55% in 2016. And whilst my grandma is quite an active Facebook user, a majority of Internet users in Kazakhstan are urban millennials located in two major cities — Almaty and Astana.
In fact, the split between rural and urban areas is so prominent that while more than 70% of the urban population has access to the Internet, only 45% of the rural population gets covered by national providers. This issue only highlights the ever-pressing problem of an urban-rural split in Central Asian region.
Having been born and raised in Almaty, the biggest Kazakhstani metropolis, I always had a privilege of being surrounded by clean streets, trendy restaurants and shiny malls. It was only later in life that I have discovered the beautifully constructed image of my hometown not to be a full reflection of the nation.
For most rural Kazakh citizens; having access to clean hot water, heating during winter, education and healthcare is a daily struggle to overcome. Poorly implemented agricultural policies combined with the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union have resulted in poverty and ill health of its rural population. Similarly, limited access to worldwide knowledge in rural regions fosters a pre-existing income inequality and hinders social mobility for the young.
On the other hand, while the Kazakh healthcare system is collapsing with underpaid and overworked doctors and nurses; the inherent kindness in Kazakh culture, combined with the age of social media, has created a unique type of non-profit organisation. In essence, these NGOs consist of online-operated charities such as Dara and Kus Zholy, which are providing people with second-hand clothing and food — and have created crowd-funding pages to help sick children get access to world-class healthcare, along with supporting children with special needs. All this is being made possible because of generous donations from community-minded private citizens, who often live on the brink of poverty themselves. This unique generosity is deeply intertwined within Kazakh traditions, but is also influenced by Kazakh ego and self-image.
"Uyat boladi" is a phrase that I, as a Kazakh woman, grew up hearing on daily basis. This almost always meant the end of a discussion. For a foreign ear this phrase, which is being repeated in each and every single household several times per day, sounds harmless and almost poetic. Yet, its translation — will be shamed — combined with an already self-conscious nature of social media, serves to create harmful effects.
Bigger exposure to Kylie Jenner types on Instagram has fuelled a new wave of insecurities faced by Kazakh women. Now expected not only to be an example of a modest and saint-like bride to all the neighbours, the Kazakh woman is now forced to become two-dimensional: her worth is also determined by the number of likes and comments she gets on an Instagram post. Being constantly pressured to be the perfect Stepford wife with a perfect body and perfect manners; young women enter a vicious self-depreciating cycle fuelled by a stream of negative comments. All the while, they are forever torn by the tug of two polar opposites: the hypersexualised female body, so normalised in the media; and the "Uyat boladi" conservative and patriarchal mindset.
Seeing glorified Western lifestyle on their feed, young people strive for everything Western — from Caucasoid facial features right through to the way they dress and speak. Majority Muslim, Kazakh society is now undergoing a transformation. This comes as no surprise to me; adverts, clinics, and cases of operative adjustments — such as double eyelid plastic surgeries — are becoming omnipresent, not just in Kazakhstan, but throughout the East Asian region as well.
Although harmful to the self-esteem of the young, social media has undoubtedly boosted Kazakh economy. According to CNP Processing, an international business research firm, the e-commerce sector of the economy has generated more than $5million in 2010 on advertising; while overall the sector has generated $300 million in sales in 2012, and the figure has been on the rise ever since. Online businesses such as Lamoda and Chocolife were very quick to spot the untapped potential that a sparsely populated and tech-savvy nation promised. Meanwhile, a niche of independent online retailers mostly operated through Instagram caught onto the wave, and in doing so generated jobs and fostered the country's economy.
As e-commerce markets grew and online news consumption became conventional, another transformation emerged — Kazakhstan developed a profitable blogger sphere. Facebook's live streaming allowed independent voices to be heard, while YouTube provided a legitimate and user-friendly platform. One of the most prominent examples of these independent voices is Yerzhan Rashev — a creator and host of the Rashev Show and an occasional live streamer, who not only freely expresses his opinions about the nation's development but also is explicit about corruption within the branches of government. He champions for transparency, a good moral code, and self-improvement; all delivered in an articulate manner that encourages discussion and further debate (usually in the comment section). Younger comedians — teams Yuframe and Jokeasses, highlight important social issues in a more light-hearted manner, but yet again encourage their audience to be better than the generation of post-Soviet turmoil with its prejudices and "Uyat boladi" mindset.
Social Media is already making its impact on Kazakhstani self-image as young people are becoming more tolerant towards each other's differences; it also fills them with hope for a better future by bringing the sum of human knowledge in the world to their fingertips — and hopefully by extension helping them to learn to think critically. Social media and the Internet have just started to penetrate the Kazakh market, and there is a lot of progress to be made in terms of digital freedom and censorship of the information. I can't help but wonder what would the future entail for a young and progressive Kazakh society? Would the progress made in the last decade and the kind inherent in Kazakh culture be enough to create a modern, democratic and open-minded society — or would social media continue to harm self-esteem of the young while also widening the economic inequality between urban-rural populations? Yet again, Kazakhstan is at the crossroads. The question is: what path will the nation choose to take?

Rush Are Getting Their Own Pinball Machine
Featuring at least 17 songs from the prog-rock legends

Rush are the latest legendary rock band to get their own pinball machine. Stern Pinball announced that their first machine of 2022 will be themed around the iconic prog act, sharing a short teaser video featuring a list of featured songs.
Although a mockup design for the machine and play field have yet to be revealed, the teaser does depict an impressive CGI rendering of the Fly By Night owl — the kind of graphics one would expect to see on a modern pinball machine as you're racking up points.
Most importantly, the video reveals at least 17 songs that will be featured in the new game — a large playlist compared to other band-themed pinball machines. Fans and players will hear classic tracks such as "Tom Sawyer," "Spirit of the Radio," and "Limelight" alongside deeper cuts like "Subdivisions," "Cygnus X 1," "La Villa Strangiato," and more.
Stern announced the news in a press release, stating that they will be revealing the new Rush machine and a new Jurassic Park machine via virtual presentation at 2022 Consumer Electronics Show. The trade show runs from January 5th through January 8th in Las Vegas. The press release states that both pinball machines will be "displayed for the press during virtual press conferences all week long."
The Rush and Jurassic Park machines will feature a new "Insider Connected" feature, which Stern calls "the greatest technological advance to pinball in decades."
"Insider Connected lets players track scores and offers new achievements for connected pinball machines," the press release states. "Through their mobile phones or computers, players can access their profiles, post scores, find the locations of connected machines, or explore pinball activities in their area."
Slash: New Guns N' Roses Pinball Machines Are "Way Beyond My Expectations"
Added Gary Stern, CEO of Stern Pinball: "CES is one of our favorite events and the perfect place to showcase Insider Connected. This technology will transform how players interact with pinball machines, including our newest hit game, Rush. The entire Stern team looks forward to an in-person CES 2023, but we're excited to share all of the latest Stern innovations with you virtually this year."
Last year, Stern introduced a Led Zeppelin machine, while fellow pinball company Jersey Jack unveiled a new Guns N' Roses line of machines, co-designed by Slash.

Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are the sons born in ones youth. Mzee Mameti had seven such arrows and three lasses among them. His humble home in the village of Mbande felt like a small school with no recess. The spaces in between the walls were constantly filled with good natured banter; sometimes so loud it was hard to focus on anything else.
Theirs was not like present times, where we live in our quaint apartments and fight for 'personal space.' A house with ten children, plus a few relatives in transition, did not thrive on personal space. First, all chores were distributed equally regardless of gender; food was sourced from the farm where they spent time chasing squirrels, climbing trees and hiding amongst plants. Bath time was a spectacle. Buckets of water were placed in the sun to gain heat and everyone bathed communally beneath the sky; and dried in the sun too. On the flip side, they never lacked for friends or allies; it was a home of sharing and solidarity.
When the kids were young, Mameti and his wife Namalwa, were agile enough to manage the flock together. But as they advanced in age, the older siblings took to caring for the younger ones. Fofo especially held the medal. He was the second born and had an easy way about him. In the evenings after chores were done, he would gather his siblings in the veranda and dance to pop music from his small transistor radio. He would hold it above his shoulder and move to the beat until the batteries died. His siblings would giggle into the night while the youngest girl would fall over herself with exaggerated glee as she watched him try to mimic Michael Jackson's impossible moves.
Not only was he the Mameti family entertainer, he was the gift that kept on giving. Whenever he left home, he rarely came back empty handed. Dishing out treats and sweets to the young ones; their favourite being the coriander spiced drop scones that everyone anticipated. In every home, there is that child that brings people together and becomes the stem from which other branches grow. Fofo was that child. He was the glue. They were the branches.
It did not come as a surprise then, that he chose to pursue a career in civil engineering. His penchant for bringing people together was transferred to his work. He loved to create, arrange and align materials and build something from the ground up. Even if most of his work entailed drawings and supervision, he never stood back during construction and preferred instead to put brick upon brick under the glare of the sun. And in his quest to keep giving he designed one of his sisters houses and supervised its construction from start to end.
When he came of age, he called his dad aside. "Dad I would like you to see the piece of land where I intend to build and settle soon." They walked side by side, his dad beaming with pride at how his boy was so much like him. Disciplined and dependable to a fault. As they journeyed together to see this place, Mameti felt a certain closeness to his son that he had not felt before; probably the camaraderie between men. Later, he will look back on this day with many unanswered questions.
For now, Fofo remained excited. He had met a girl and wanted to make an honest woman out of her. He was busy with work, with caring for his siblings and with the anticipation of new things to come that he didn't notice the pimple that appeared on his left leg just above his ankle. No one who is busy and optimistic about things to come, spends time observing areas around the body that are mostly covered. So he didn't. Yet it persisted there like an animal hunting its prey. It lay there silently, moving beneath the surface, making no sound, ready to pounce.
And pounce it did.
The pimple — maybe after a scrape — formed a scab and if you looked closely, it had a wound right at the base. At the hospital, the doctor said it looked suspicious like a husband who leaves a room when he receives a call late in the night. So they took a biopsy of it to further examine it. No one in the family fussed over it, I mean the thing was the size of an eraser at the back of a pencil. Until the results came.
It is often weird how the diagnosis of cancer usually precedes its symptoms. Before it, you are bouncing healthily along the journey of life completely unaware that a group of cells in your body have gone rogue. When the word is thrown at you, the switch is instant. Symptoms begin to appear one after the other. Fofo is lucky he didn't hear it first hand though. His dad did and it nearly killed him.
Mzee Mameti sensed somewhere in his gut that a storm was coming so he asked to be told the results first. He wasn't ready for the truck that hit him, reversed and went over him, crushing his bones. "Your son has malignant melanoma and has two years to live." For the first time in his life, he lost his balance. He was rendered speechless. His mind took him back to the day he had walked with his son, side by side to see his piece of land; with the promise of the future before them. How that scene ended up in this one, he couldn't fathom. And he wept.
Fofo remained still as a coffin. His state of mind was hard to read and he handled this the way he did most things, with a smile. The plan was to refer him to the city for further management. As they planned for this, one day while in a matatu, the pimple just started to bleed — unprovoked. It wasn't the kind of bleeding that occurs when you burst a pimple, it was more of a continuous downpour that alarmed him enough to go back to hospital. The family felt they needed a second opinion. Fofo had never been sick a day in his life. Let alone Fofo. No one in their home was sickly. Which cancer was this — the size of a pea- that was ravaging their golden child?What had brought it about? So Fofo and one of the sisters traveled to the city in search for hope.
They didn't find any. In the consultation room when Fofo was asked to take off his shirt, his sister gasped. His back looked like there were knuckles beneath his skin. Spread all over. After looking at his test results the doctor did not mince his words, "This is stage 4 disease. You have a maximum of six months to live."
There it was again. His life reduced to a timer. How did two years become six months in a few weeks. How do you live with the clock of death ticking above your head? Do you try to finish the things you started or do you leave them as is? Do you start to say goodbye or live your life recklessly because you know it is ending anyway? Do you love more or less to reduce the pain?
They traveled back home.
For palliative care. He was admitted at the local hospital because in no time, his lungs began to fill with fluid. Until now Fofo had maintained his witty nature. He was still jovial and didn't give room for gloom to grow in his heart. But in this admission the fluid filled lungs pushed away his laughter, his joy, his smile. Before they were ready to release him, he left, held in his mothers arms on a warm sunny Sunday afternoon in January.
When Fofo died, Mametis home became silent for the first time in many years. Somehow it felt like everyone had died. Because he was so many things to all of them. The young ones would sit by the gate hoping he would turn the corner with the dropscones but he never came. It was inconceivable that in just six months, what started as a small pimple had ended with irreversible result.
In time, the fog cleared, conversation became possible and they started to say 'I love you' more often. Family meetings became a thing and to date the ones in the city still meet and the ones back at home still congregate. They have become more deliberate on living and loving because no one knows when a an arrow will be plucked from the quiver. On 9th of January every year, they excavate their memories of him, air them and rejoice in them; and realise that his death didn't tear them apart. It brought them closer together. He was still the glue.
In loving memory of Charles Mufwoyongo Mameti
As told to me by Dr Lilian Mameti
Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer.
It can occur anywhere on the skin, e.g. the back, the skin lining the mouth, nose, genitals and other hidden areas.
When it is not treated, melanoma can spread to organs inside the body.
Melanoma can run in families.
Symptoms: Melanoma often looks like a brown or black mole or birthmark. People can remember the abnormal features of melanoma by thinking of the letters A, B, C, D, and E
●Asymmetry — One half can look different than the other half.
●Border — It can have a jagged or uneven edge.
●Color — It can have different colors.
●Diameter — It is larger than the eraser on the end of a pencil.
●Evolution — Its size, color, or shape can change over time.
Skin affected by melanoma can also bleed or become swollen, red, or crusty.
**Many moles and birthmarks are normal and are not melanoma. But if you have a mole or birthmark that you think might be abnormal, show it to your doctor or nurse.
Tests: A biopsy during which, a doctor will usually remove the whole abnormal area.
Staging: Staging is a way in which doctors find out how deep in the skin and how far inside the body the melanoma has spread.
The right treatment for you will depend a lot on the stage of your melanoma, age and presence of other medical problems.
Treatment: Can be: Surgical, Chemoradiation and immunotherapy
Can melanoma be prevented? — You can prevent melanoma by protecting your skin from the sun's rays. Sun exposure and sunburn are a big cause of melanoma. To reduce the chance of getting melanoma, you can:
●Stay out of the sun in the middle of the day (from 10 AM to 4 PM).
●Wear sunscreen and reapply it often.
●Wear a wide-brimmed hat, long-sleeved shirt, or long pants.

Wasps v Bath Rugby: Dai Young hints at tactical tweak for Premiership clash
Wasps face Bath Rugby on Sunday at the Ricoh in their 150th anniversary match
Bath are likely to be confronted by adapted tactics from Wasps in this Sunday's Premiership clash, according to Dai Young.
Wasps' boss and his coaching team have grown increasingly concerned about their team's ability to shoot itself in the foot, and aim to address the problem with a more direct approach.
The black-and-golds' rugby director believes his team are guilty of playing too much rugby in their own half, and of causing costly turnovers through being too lateral in attack.
And having seen a shift of emphasis deliver a greatly improved second-half display during last week's defeat at Exeter, Wasps are set to adopt the same strategy when Bath visit the Ricoh on Sunday.
Wasps injury news: Dai Young hopeful front five is fit to face Bath
"While we want to go wide, we must have penetration going forwards first, and we've got that balance wrong in the last few weeks," Young said.
"It's not what we set out to do, but when we have the option to hit a runner in the front line, or go out the back and wide, we haven't always taken the right option.
"If you go wide straight away, the opposition have got too many defenders on their feet. We need to hit that front line more, so against Bath and over the next couple of weeks we'll probably simplify things.

"That doesn't mean there will be huge changes in how we play, but we'll be more direct and aim to get penetration going forwards as we did in the second half at Exeter, after which opportunities will hopefully arise."
Although Wasps have already twice conceded five tries in a match this season, their boss says this has been more about their tactical approach than tackling, which he believes has been generally sound.
"Our tackle stats have been generally very good, in fact we're in the top two or three every week for tackle percentages," he said.
Where would you most like to see improvement from Wasps?
Improved ball retention
Better tactical kicking
Better game management
"We've conceded points because we've given opponents too many opportunities from our own attack, so that's where we've put our focus this week.
"Our kicking game hasn't been accurate enough, and that's something we've talked about getting on the money. If you kick badly, you're then on toast, as all your defenders are in the wrong place.
"We've also spent far too much time playing inside our own half, and if we then turn it over we provide the opposition with a great platform to attack.
"So I don't doubt our will to tackle, it's more about the number we're having to make and the area of the pitch we're having to defend in."
After finishing as Premiership runners-up in 2015, this weekend's opponents found life very difficult two seasons ago, much as Exeter did when winning only two of their opening seven games last year after losing to Saracens at Twickenham the previous May.
And Young says his team, who are the top-flight's most recent runners-up, have already discussed the need to avoid a similar pitfall.
Josh Bassett scored Wasps' second try in Connacht
"We spoke at the start of the season to say we can't sit back and think we're a quality team just because we've reached one final," he said.
"I'd like to think the boys have now realised that we're in a scrap - I've consistently said it's a tough league, and if we're not at our best we're not going to win.
"We need to get back to the kind of displays that got us the big wins at the start of last season when we were very good at keeping our composure and patience."
