South Africa's Liberation Narrated Through Film
By: Zukiswa Zimela
History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day.
~ John Henrik Clarke.
It has now been a quarter of a century since South Africa emerged, bright-eyed and hopeful, from the destructive past of Apartheid. With the passing of time, giants of the South African liberation movement are dying, and they are taking with them their memories. We are steadily losing access to the first-hand accounts of those who fought for our hard-won freedom. Forgetting poses a threat to the survival of our democracy. It was George Santayana who said: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".
Nombulelo Shange, a sociology lecturer at the University of the Free State and a millennial, says films about pre and post-Apartheid help her remember the past.
"As much as I am in a profession where I am forced to engage with literature [on the subject], something about the visual representation and the sounds and the characters sounds, and emotions help me to never forget," she says.
Much has been done to preserve the country's history through literature, music and museums. However, none have been as successful as the visual medium of film in telling the story of South Africa's struggle to transmute itself into a democratic society to a wider audience.
The medium is more accessible than books, which require a level of literacy and an inordinate amount of time to consume. Unlike music, more complex information can be packaged into a film. Watching a film does not require travel to access places like Robben Island, or the Apartheid Museum.
Before the dawn of democracy, when the idea of a free and just society was little more than just a dream, movies, films and television programmes were made internationally about the plight of South Africans living under the National Party.
Films such as Mandela, a 1987 television drama film, which deals with the life of the late Nelson Mandela, and A World Apart, a 1988 film which tells the story of white struggle icons, Ruth First and Joe Slovo helped highlight the courage, fortitude and commitment of South Africans who rose to the challenge of fighting for change. Amongst films such as these, one that stands out for many is Sarafina! A movie documenting the grisly reality of life under National Party domination. The film, released in 1992, tells the story of students involved in the Soweto Uprising in 1976. Told through the eyes of a young girl, Sarafina, the movie shows the determination and courage of the country's youth to fight against the use of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in schools across the country. The film is raw and uncomfortable to watch and does not shy away from showing the harsh, inconvenient truth about what was done to South Africans under the Apartheid regime.
Shange says Sarafina! has had the most impact in her life. "It deals with young people. I feel their struggle more; I feel their pain more, because I am a young person myself. I feel like I can relate more to those kinds of issues". That unlike other movies such as Cry, Freedom, Sarafina! does not have a "white saviour" makes the movie more relatable for her.
"The movie showed that Black students that came from nothing were able to challenge the system. Often these movies, in as much as they [do] remind us of the past, always glorify white people. We saw it with Invictus, and the movie that focussed on Nelson Mandela and his jailor," says Shange.
Growing up I don't recall much conversation around the topic of Apartheid. Although my parents grew up in the Transkei, a separate Bantustan which gained independence in 1976, not much was said in our household about that time. Most of the information about the time filtered through my consciousness from white history teachers, most of whom tended to avoid the uncomfortable topics and focused more on dry recitations of dates and events.
My first exposure to the realities on Apartheid came from watching an old copy of Cry Freedom.
The film was released in 1987 and deals with the relationship between liberal journalist, Donald Woods and eminent struggle hero Steve Biko. That old tape was my first introduction to the man and his story. In the movie, Biko, who was known as the Father of Back Consciousness, is revealed to be a great mind committed to the emancipation of black South Africans. Set during Biko's banishment to King William's Town, the film showed the reality of Black people who were forced to live in appalling conditions due to laws imposed by the government.
Unlike other icons of the struggle against Apartheid, Biko is one of the lesser known icons. The mainstream narrative about his life focuses mainly on his death at the hands of the Apartheid government in 1977. Cry Freedom brought into sharp relief Steve Biko's black consciousness ideals, his love for Africans and his sharp intellect. Francisco Pedro, a white South African man in his early thirties, says he was introduced to the realities of Africans during apartheid story through film. The movie Bopha! was his first glimpse into the reality faced by his fellow South Africans. "It put in focus the plight of other people. You don't really know how bad things were. It's difficult to fathom the life of a person living in a one room shack," he explains. Bopha! he says, also showed him the sheer scale of the brutality meted against people who fought for the liberation of South Africa.
"At the end of the movie, they also had a list of all the people who allegedly died in prison," he says.
Films also have the ability to educate the older generation who grew up during the struggle. Kathy Pedro, Francisco's mother says the National Party made sure that white South Africans were shielded from the realities of Black people during apartheid by rampant censorship and the banning of "subversive" materials.
"We as white people who grew up in that era were not made aware of what was going on," she explains. Kathy says a viewing of the Mandela: Son of Africa, Father of the Nation documentary released in 1996 opened her eyes to what was happening beyond the gates of her manicured lawn.
"My aha moment was when I realised everything that Madiba had gone through," she says.
Films not only serve to educate and keep the memories of those who fought hard for the liberation of South African alive, can also tell a different side to predominant narratives, and provide alternative views.
Following the passing of Winnie Madikizela- Mandela in 2018 many people, particularly young women, flocked to watch the documentary Winnie. The film tells the story of one of the most powerful women during South Africa's history. Following the imprisonment of her husband Nelson Mandela, Madikizela- Mandela was forced to pick up the baton and continue pursuing the liberation of her people. Instead of focusing on her role as merely the wife of the great Nelson Mandela, the film portrays her as a fearless leader who risked her life, the wellbeing of her children and everything she had to advance the aims of the African National Congress (ANC). This was during a time when most of leaders had fled to exile or were
languishing in prison. Winnie uncovered some of the betrayals she experienced during and after the struggle and her fight against attempts to delegitimise, silence her, and vandalise her legacy.
Winnie humanises Madikizela-Mandela. It is a stark change from the dominant narrative which often portrays her as a potential murderer, kidnapper and unfaithful companion, thereby erasing her enormous sacrifice in ensuring the success of the liberation struggle. It also reveals the faces of those who worked hard to erase her legacy from the mainstream using underhanded tactics, complicating the status quo and starting a debate on the fairness of how she has been represented. Considering recent struggles faced by young people, particularly in the Fees Must Fall movement, Shange says now, more than ever, South Africa needs more home-grown movies about struggle icons, to inspire young people. More importantly, the stories of lesser known icons need to be explored, she explains.
"I think it's important now more than ever to make struggle movies [ that move] away from the mainstream narratives of Madiba this and Madiba that. I think it needs to be more about community stories and things that happened to ordinary South Africans who have never been recognised in history books", she says.
Local film makers have started making these kinds of films. Kalushi, released in 2017, tells the story of a young freedom fighter, Solomon Mahlangu. The film was well received by South Africans suffering from fatigue induced by rehashed narratives about the same heroes. Shange says our generation, the generation born before the dawn of democracy, grew up at a time when the wounds of apartheid were still fresh, and the memories were still raw. Today though, things have changed somewhat, she says.
"I notice with my students at times that they are so disconnected from the reality, they understand the past in a way that is very superficial, and they don't know their history and I find that to be very troubling."
Instead of forgetting about the past as some in our country would like to, it is perhaps important to recall the past and ensure that nothing like it ever happens again. As a medium of storytelling film is perhaps the best way to ensure that the legacy for the country's liberation icons is kept alive. As imminent scholar Octavia Utley says: "The … tradition of storytelling makes it possible for a culture to pass knowledge, history, and experiences from one generation to the next".

Basically, Sphere Break is a game that's all about sums and multiplications. Instead of following the old system of card games, in which you can win easily if you have some rare cards in your hand, this requires you to use a bit more brainpower. Sphere Break is a race against the clock to create multiples of the core sphere's core number by combining numbers of the 16 coins on the board. Confusing? Well, like Shinra said, "Once you get the elementary, you will get the hang of it."

In this episode, Leary and Armin interview Dr. Chuck Stecker, President & Founder of A Chosen Generation and the Center for Inner-Genrational Ministry. Dr. Stecker holds two Ph.Ds, has served on the Joint Staff in the Pentagon, and presently on the board of directors for the CASA 50+ Network & Christian Service Brigade Ministries. He is the author of Men of Honor, Women of Virtue: Raising Kids to Keep the Faith.
Many people talk about leaving a legacy when what they are really talking about is creating a legend. A legend is left by what you do. It's established by the things you do, the things you create and what your known for in that doing end of your life. A legacy, on the other hand, is who you really are. Your legacy is your fiber and fabric of you as a person and that's passed from generation to generation and generations yet to be born.
The difference between legend and legacy is the difference between what you do versus who you are. It's how you invest your life rather than where you spend your life.
We have an opportunity to change the world. But to do so means we need to change how we are parenting. Too many of us as parents try to raise good kids as measured by what they do. They become an end-product, for us to show off what good kids we have. Instead we must teach the next generation to be the teachers of the next generation.
The key is to focus and be proud of who your children are becoming, not what they do. These principles apply equally well in business as well as in home.

Great podcast here with Dr. Stecker – and such good questions I might add.
"Legend vs. Legacy" – new thoughts for me today – at my age! Thanks for #64.
You're a legend with a legacy. The amount of ministry you've done over the decades and the amount lives you and Donna have touched are countless. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do.
Wow! I'm gonna show Donna this! Thanks, Armin. Love seeing you so eager to grow and to inspire others!
Interesting and challenging distinction. It would be interesting to write the eulogy you would like read, knowing that if it were read today it would be a lie because the eulogy would be not "who you are" but "Who you want to be or strive to be" or better said "the person God wants you to be" and then to make that eulogy a personal goal.
Writing an aspirational eulogy is a great idea Penny! That's a terrific Challenge Me add-on to this episode. I'm going to do that!

This two-story condo in peaceful and quiet Montecito Hills, nestled beside Highland Park and Mount Washington, had a spectacular view of Los Angeles and an interior that was nearly complete.
A couple for over two decades, this pair of wonderful women reached a certain point in their undertaking of home improvements before their shared busy-ness of work, travel, and full-time animal rescue superseded their inclinations to completely finish the space. While the basic elements were established – dining table and chairs, sectional sofa and coffee table, and painted walls throughout, the zing and magic of art, accessories, and textiles were up to us.
Combining affordable prints by their favorite artists with several original pieces, vintage accessories, custom throw pillows, and modern versions of mid-century designs in the way of side tables and a custom credenza, we completed the work they'd "put a pin in" half a year before.
What became nearly paramount to all else in our custom furniture production for this sweet animal-loving couple was the creation of a custom mid-century modern style doghouse and indoor enclosure for their beloved little blind Chihuahua, Annie. Entirely toothless and undeniably adorable, she deserved some digs of her own that the ladies trusted would keep her safe, but they'd also love having in their home. With the help of woodworking crafters in San Diego, we pulled it off and Annie might have the most awesome digs of any rescue pup this side of the Mississippi! We're quite certain her Chihuahua siblings are jealous as all get-out.

English, Notizie Brevi, Politica, Strategia
The United States – and indeed the entire Western world – is undergoing a shift in regard to the policies of globalization, that will lead to a new direction in economic and foreign policy in the coming years. In his four years in office, despite his obvious faults, Donald Trump has inaugurated a number of changes that will accelerate the transition away from the deleterious trade policies of the past decades, legitimized a return of "industrial policy," and stressed the need for a new realism in regard to foreign wars and the rise of China. The result of this period of disruption, consisting of both successes and failures, is a new political climate that, however unsettled and divided, allows for recognition of the errors of recent years, and the use of new tools to address the economic and strategic challenges of the coming period.
This is the thesis presented by journalist and political analyst Andrew Spannaus in his Italian-language book on "Post-Global America" (L'America post-globale. Trump, il coronavirus e il futuro, Mimesis, September 2020), which reviews Donald Trump's term as president, and assesses how the combination of this period of "populist" policies and the explosion of the Covid-19 pandemic will shape policy in areas ranging from state intervention in the economy and the role of central banks, to trade deals and strategic competition with China. The book has been the subject of numerous presentations in Italy in recent months, most notably an Oct. 6 public event at the Foreign Press Association in Rome with former Italian Prime Minister Massimo D'Alema and deputy federal secretary of the Lega party Giancarlo Giorgetti.
(Germano Dottori, Angelo Polimeno Bottai, Massimo D'Alema, Giancarlo Giorgetti, Andrew Spannaus)
The first part of the book analyzes Trump's clash with the political and media institutions of Washington, to set the stage for the president's pursuit of the two goals that cemented his status as an outsider willing to challenge the establishment: the defense of American industry against globalization, and the abandonment of the never-ending regime change wars which have cost both trillions of dollars and many thousands of lives. These are in fact aims that most of the U.S. population supports, whether they are proposed by the left or the right.
Spannaus takes a realistic view in assessing what progress has been made on these two major issues, that have driven the emergence of populist movements across the West. His answer is that Trump has shifted the conversation considerably from five years ago: by now almost nobody questions the need to combat the post-industrial decline of the United States and the increasing inequality it has bred, and the political pressure against foreign military intervention has forced Washington institutions to adjust their rhetoric across the spectrum.
At the same time, the contradictions in Trump's actions are clear: while he deserves recognition for being the first president in 40 years not to have launched a new war, there are other areas where he has hewed closer to the line of traditional interventionists, with economic warfare, targeted killings, and neo-conservative rhetoric. On the economic front, the immediate effects of Trump's policy shifts have so far been limited, even before the failure to manage the Covid-19 crisis: manufacturing stalled after an initial uptick, insecure working conditions and low wages are still widespread, and the president quickly gave up on his promise to spur sustainable economic growth with large-scale investment in infrastructure.
Yet new momentum has been generated to address these problems, and significant shifts have begun in economic policy during Trump's term, for example on trade deals, and the nature of government intervention during the initial months of the 2020 pandemic. Concentrating on the renegotiation of NAFTA, which led to the bipartisan passage of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), Spannaus identifies an inflection point in trade policy. An important change in direction has occurred, away from a shareholder value-driven approach of prioritizing low costs, at the expense of socio-economic conditions in the United States and workers' rights and well-being in developing countries; the negative impact on economic resilience and national security of far-flung global supply chains has also become painfully clear during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In his introduction to the book, Giulio Sapelli, a well-known professor of economic history whose name has been floated for the post of prime minister in recent years, extols the "unforgettable pages in which Spannaus dismantles the neo-magical ideology of public debt," urging that they be "read and re-read by the Solons of ordoliberalism," referring to the German strain of thinking that has heavily influenced the European Union's strict rules on public spending. Indeed, this year the United States and other countries have demonstrated that in the midst of a grave crisis the government can and must spend massively, while any fears of a debt crisis can be dispelled by the proper use of central banks to cover bond issues and manage interest rates.
By way of example, consider the spending packages approved by the U.S. Congress, amounting to approximately 14% of GDP in just two months at the start of the pandemic crisis. Worries about the debt were set aside, and rightly so, since the myth of the country's finances being at the mercy of private lenders or foreign countries is just that: China holds only 4% of U.S. public debt, while about 40% is held by the Fed and various government agencies and funds. And the portion held by the Fed has increased, as it has bought new bonds issued by the government to finance the economic stimulus (while ultimately returning any interest payments to the government itself). This, along with loans finally made directly to productive businesses, is a much better use of the Fed's powers than seen in the past, for two reasons: first, because for years the Fed provided massive amounts of liquidity to only the financial sector, bailing out banks and funds as the rest of the economy collapsed; and second, because it was responding to directives from the Department of the Treasury, thus making the central bank a tool of government policy, rather than merely an independent entity that for too long has fed the cycle of financial speculation and rising inequality affecting the middle and lower classes.
The argument in favor of abandoning the notion that public spending always represents borrowing to be repaid, or that funds need to be raised principally through higher taxes, is bolstered by the historical data Spannaus uses regarding public debt. After a brief look at the approach to debt in American history, the author reports that for the past 62 years, without interruption, the absolute level of public debt has continued to increase. The amounts spent in the 1960s on important investments such as the space program were never paid back directly, but they provoked tremendous economic growth, such that managing the debt hasn't been a problem. The percentage of debt-to-GDP varies depending on the level of economic growth, but today even this measure is beginning to be considered obsolete: economists such as Larry Summers and Jason Furman, who by their own admission had very different views in the past, are now arguing that levels of public debt should no longer be the guide for how much spending the government can sustain, given the primary need to support economic growth.
That's not to trust practitioners of neoliberalism who are open to more spending today, but could just as easily call for austerity again tomorrow. There are more serious views in the academic world, such as those of professors Stephanie Kelton and James Galbraith, who argue that deficits are not a burden, but a necessity to increase economic activity. Spannaus takes a page from American history to go even further, citing the Legal Tender Act of 1862 which gave the government the power to begin printing "greenbacks" without any basis in gold or silver: public debt is just a number, and when policy is used properly to ensure the creation of real wealth in the private economy, avoiding excessive liquidity or speculative operations that will translate into inflation, money can be generated as necessary without needing to create a debt towards anyone, thus removing the specious arguments of recent years on why there are never enough resources for economic investment.
In Post-Global America, Spannaus argues that the cat is out of the bag: it is now clear to most that the fictitious constraints of the budget deficit should not hinder the need to tackle the major questions facing the country, such as infrastructure, technology investment, and the social safety net. The outcome of the Nov. 3 election will certainly put this thesis to the test, given the Democrats' minimal majorities in Congress; in fact, many are already seeking to put the brakes on further spending. The importance of the shift has in fact not been lost on traditional Republicans: consider the move by Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania in mid-December to roll back the expanded lending powers granted to the Federal Reserve earlier this year. Toomey temporarily blocked the latest urgent economic relief bill in an attempt to prevent the Fed from being able to intervene directly in the economy in the future. His justification? That the Fed's programs could be used as an "instrument of fiscal policy, which is a terrible idea."
It's a terrible idea, that is, if you think that the powers of government should be constrained by fear-mongering about the deficit, without the possibility to use the resources of the central bank to intervene in any areas beyond monetary adjustment, where it has proven particularly adept at fueling asset bubbles, facilitating increasing inequality and draining resources from the productive economy. The reality is that the entire framework underlying fiscal conservatism risks crumbling, subtracting considerable power from those who wish to use worries about the public debt to shape political priorities.
There are other important areas where the shift away from the policies of globalization is manifest: for example the push for re-shoring, i.e. the shortening of supply chains with the return of certain types of production to the United States from low-cost countries, coupled with the revival of calls to "Buy American." What may have sounded like "nationalism" – for years treated as a bad word reeking of racism – now permeates both sides of the political spectrum, and the center as well. Bernie Sanders has said for years that "the era of outsourcing is over," while Elizabeth Warren published a plan for "economic patriotism" during the 2020 Democratic primaries. And President-elect Joe Biden isn't far behind: read his economic proposals and you'll find that the basic goals are not much different than those of Donald Trump.
At the same time, calls for a departure from free-market fundamentalism have been growing in the Republican Party as well, for example from American Compass, a group founded by people close to Marco Rubio – who in recent years has been promoting his idea of "common-good capitalism" – and even Mitt Romney, along with other conservatives who have left free-market think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation and the Manhattan Institute. The website also includes references to great "American System" thinkers such as Alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay, and Friedrich List.
A foretaste of the potential for a left-right alliance in favor of greater government economic intervention, shrinking the power of the "fiscal responsibility" faction, came in mid-December when Senator Josh Hawley, a conservative from Missouri, paired with Sen. Bernie Sanders to demand the inclusion of a new round of stimulus checks in the latest economic relief bill. The effort was dismissed by some as doomed to fail, but the pressure brought to bear led to an agreement to include new payments, albeit at a lower level than in April; President Trump ended up demanding the amount of the checks be raised even further, although his insistence risked blocking immediate implementation of the urgent bill.
There is no guarantee that this policy orientation will become dominant in the near future, but the general direction is clear; the bell is tolling for neoliberalism, and the policies of globalization that have produced an economic, social, and political crisis that can no longer be ignored. For years elites have scoffed at the effects on the middle class, but now there is a strategic factor that is forcing the United States, and the West as a whole, to take its problems more seriously: the rise of China. This is another area where the change during the Trump years will be permanent: the U.S. institutions have abandoned the notion that economic ties with China will lead to democratization, and that Beijing will soon be considered a "responsible global actor" by Washington. A period of great power competition has begun, which requires the West to rebuild its economic strength and alliances, without the short-cuts sought through decades of dominance of global financial institutions. A key area of this challenge will be to make large investments allowing for a leap forward in digital technologies, given their extensive implications for both economics and strategy. Reality has overtaken the political illusions of the past on numerous fronts, forcing the United States to scramble to make up for its errors, in a world that will increasingly be post-global.

An ECG is usually carried out at the clinic, and takes just a few minutes. In some cases, the simple ECG does not provide the complete picture that we need in order to understand your symptoms.
In this case, a 24-hour ECG may be recommended. Like an ordinary ECG, the 24-hour ECG (sometimes also referred to as ambulatory ECG) monitors your heart function and rhythm, except it takes results continuously for a 24 hour period.
You will be given a small, battery-powered device (called a Holter monitor) which you wear in a small pouch around your neck. The monitor is connected to your body with several electrodes placed on the skin of your chest and arms using a gel that helps them to stick.
These electrodes are not painful to wear. The only restriction is that you cannot swim, bathe, or shower whilst wearing them, and must ensure that the monitor is dry at all times. But in every other way, you are encouraged to engage in your daily activities as normal.
You will then return to the clinic to have the device removed and the cardiologist will evaluate your results. The reason for using this kind of diagnostic test is that abnormal heart patterns, arrhythmias and other cardiac symptoms may come and go.
There is not always a consistent or ongoing pattern, and thus a longer-term monitoring period is necessary. Our specialists can evaluate your case and decide on the diagnostic tests that are most appropriate for your symptoms and overall needs.
Please give us a call to make an appointment to discuss this or any other aspect of heart health.
What is the difference between a regular ECG and a 24-hour ECG?
The regular ECG test takes just a few minutes and is carried out in the clinic, whereas the 24-hour ECG takes continuous readings whilst you go about your regular daily activities.
No, the 24-hour ECG is a non-invasive form of testing. There are some restrictions for the duration of the testing, such as having to avoid water (swimming, bathing, and showering) and ensure that the monitor stays dry.
Why can't I just have a regular ECG?
Some heart conditions have symptoms that are not consistent and therefore cannot always be tested during a clinic visit. Longer-term monitoring gives your doctor a picture of your heart throughout the day, allowing a clear understanding of the range and frequency of your symptoms.


The waiting room was small, smaller than I had expected anyway. It had taken me 6 and a half minutes to approach the building, I was barely able to even step out of the car. I had never gotten an HIV test before and the concept of going seemed more sinister than any other nightmare I could dream up. As if, as long as I didn't go, and as long as it was just a concept that I kept my distance from, there could be no way I had HIV.
I had gone with my two friends Austin and Angel, all three of us young gay men who had only applied AIDS to situations like the mass outbreak in the 1980's and the classic Jonathan Larson musical, "Rent". Admittedly, I was the only one who had actually seen 'Rent' but I happily provided the entire synopsis on our ride there.
All of us were nervous, but being the more expressive one out of the trio, I ended up having what my friends would later refer to as an 'HIV-related tantrum'.
"Adam, we just drove twenty minutes to get here, you need to get up. Everything will be okay I promise". Angel's usually indifferent tone had become stern, and I looked up at him from the parking block I had impulsively sat on, and responded "fiiiiiiinnnneeeeee".
We walked around aimlessly searching for the right address, the clinic was situated in a mass of industrial buildings across from John Wayne Airport, each one just as similar as the next. Taupe, taupe, and you guessed it–more taupe. We had found the clinic via yelp, and found it was the only place near us that did not only do anonymous and free testing, but also gave you your results within twenty minutes. That was the only option for me, if I had to wait a week to get my results, by the time they came back my insides would have already rotted from nerves.
When I get nervous, I ramble, which although not especially uncommon was especially annoying (so I've been told). The more we walked, the more I felt pressed up against the very real possibility I could have something. So therefore, the more we searched the more I rambled about anything that popped into my head. I felt charged with nervous energy, at this point I just wanted to get the whole ordeal over with, I walked ahead of my friends, looking around manically like a parent who loses their kid at Target. Through the mighty power of google maps, we finally found ourselves face to face with the right door, and it occurred to me then that I might leave here a completely different person than when I came in.
I entered speedily and kept my head held high, not allowing myself to feel any shame that is usually associated with getting an STD test. Inside was a large empty room where a blank faced receptionist sat, looking bored and uninterested.
"I am here to get an HIV test" I proclaimed, probably louder than necessary, and to boot the almost-vacant room had caused my words to echo.
"Wrong room, they're in the building behind us". I swallowed hard, gave the receptionist a hard grin and a polite nod, and left just as speedily as I had entered, ignoring the chuckles of Austin and Angel behind me. I didn't really care, my anxiety had washed away any feeling of embarrassment, sometimes you just don't have room to feel anything else.
The small waiting room felt as compact as it looked, with chairs lining against the wall, giving the impression that they were trying to stuff as many seats as practically possible. The three of us sat side by side, avoiding eye contact with the other two men who had already been waiting. One was a skinny guy, couldn't be older than his mid-twenties, dressed effeminately, and I remember thinking at the time that when conservatives think of gay people this is the stock photo that probably enters their head. The other was a complete polarity to the skinny guy, a man in business wear, his tie was loosened, I would guess somewhere in his mid to late forties. He looked tense, even more than I, he kept his face in his hands and I felt badly for him, enough to wear I almost forgot my own reason for being here.
The cream colored walls left me feeling more tense, and so I kept intimate eye contact with the white ribbed carpet as I filled out the information sheet. There was a side table before the very first chair, which had a bowl of condoms and lube, a stack of brown lunch bags in case you wanted to take home a goodie bag, and a rack of pamphlets with sayings like "You Have HIV, What Next?" and with pictures of couples looking distressed on the front.
Eventually the person doing the test came out of the examination room, a younger guy, dressed aesthetically like an extremely cute gay librarian.
"Who is next?" He was cute, like weirdly cute for a volunteer at an HIV clinic, and really the last thing I needed at this specific low-point was to be around a cute person.
"Me" I said instinctively, I needed the agony to be over, I turned to my friends and they both gave me a reassuring smile, and so I went in.
It was quick, a simple swab test, I sat and the cute guy asked me questions about myself and I talked and talked and talked. Between every 300 words I would add a "sorry I'm nervous, that's why I keep talking" and then proceeded on with my explanation on what life is like with an untraditional body type.
I sit and wait while he calls in Austin and Angel, and we all wait together for our results which he pulls us in one by one for.
"Your tests came back clean!" It felt like I could breathe again, colors were brighter, this guy was now even cuter, and I felt safe. My body felt like mine again. It's a scary feeling being young and thinking something so catastrophic has already happened to your body. It's such a loss of control, and it's a brush with mortality that no one at seventeen should have to bear.
I was right about one thing, I did leave a different person. I had one of those ah-hah moments that you only have after the storm has cleared. It was one of my first real grown up situations, my mom was not there to coddle me and ask the doctor questions, this was on me. My safety and my responsibility to myself and my body is on me. Getting tested is scary, but the not knowing is worse.
The three of us drove back home, we laughed, listened to music, and all silently thanked whatever higher power there was for giving us a little more time with the illusion of immortality.

International news and other busyness
Squall 16, Summer 1998, pg. 39.
FEARING A SALES DROP in its lucrative East Asia market Apple computers have conveniently dumped the Dalai Lama from their advertising campaign.
While cyber execs are willing to ride the politically-correct bandwagon with creative computer- users in the West the exiled spiritual leader of occupied Tibet is obviously a no-no with those a bit closer to his homeland, and Apple's sizeable Asian orchard - China - which is just ripe for the picking.
Apple-ogists for the US-based multinational attempted to justify their rotten actions by explaining the Dalai Lama was not well-known enough in East Asia to warrant his inclusion in the regional ad directive which uses images of 'great thinkers' to highlight the virtues of their range of computers. Instead they proposed to replace him with the internationally-renowned aviation queen Amelia Earhart(!?)
Her only spurious connection with Asia lies in the fact she disappeared after her plane crashed into the Pacific (near-ish to Japan).
The news of Apple's pip-squeak cowardice comes as fellow corporate hack Rupert Murdoch ensured that his publishing concern Harper Collins pulled the rug on Chris Patten's kiss 'n' tell Hong Kong story. The former Governor (not noted for his democracy until he left Britain - but we don't have room here) had his revealing wee book shelved after power-crazed Murdoch realised his Star TV plans for China could be jeopardised if his international media operation was seen to be anything other than completely subservient to the Chinese authorities.
Seems that some people will do anything to shake bloody hands with the brutal regime that currently wields power in that country - over to you Tony.


no offence, but do you think people are actually just going to sell shirts like that?
well i should hope so as i said i have items for trade, its just that i dont have any vinyls.
Just click ME for "Mord und Totschlag".
i have the cult of daath and loits, do you have a trade list?

Palatka at Creekside, 7 p.m.
Glance: Neither team has been making much noise this season, but the thud made from Creekside has been all but deafening so far. Expected to be a strong playoff team after making the first round last season, the Knights have yet to win a game and were only competitive in last week's loss to Providence. Running back Livio Hoxha, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards last season, has been hampered with a leg injury and so has their offense. Sandin has put up respectable numbers at quarterback, just not the type one would expect with a year of maturity to progress. For Palatka, their silence is a bit more expected as they're in full-on rebuilding mode under new head coach Willie Offord. The Panthers went 1-9 last year despite having a formidable defense, many players of which have returned this year without being as effective as last season. In both their games played Palatka has given up 30 points or more, and if ever there was a game for Creekside to get their offense back on track, this may be the one.

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch." – Disputed Source
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
Widely attributed to Benjamin Franklin on the internet, sometimes without the second sentence, it is not found in any of his known writings, and the word "lunch" is not known to have appeared anywhere in english literature until the 1820s, decades after his death. The phrasing itself has a very modern tone and the second sentence especially might not even be as old as the internet. Some of these observations are made in response to a query at Google Answers.
In 1992, Marvin Simkin wrote in Los Angeles Times, Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.
A far rarer but somewhat more credible variation also occurs: "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner." Web searches on these lines uncovers the earliest definite citations for such a statement credit libertarian author James Bovard with a similar one in the Sacramento Bee (1994): "Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner."
This statement also definitely occurs in the "Conclusion" (p. 333) of his book Lost Rights: The Destruction of American Liberty (1994) ISBN 0312123337
Variants of this statement include that by Larry Flynt, as quoted in "Flynt's revenge" by Carol Lloyd in Salon (23 February 1999): Majority rule will only work if you're considering individual rights. You can't have five wolves and one sheep vote on what they want to have for supper.
Benjamin Franklin discusses the best way to go about banging a wrinkly old woman
"If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." – George Washington

"Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life. You don't have to live forever, you just have to live." ― Natalie Babbitt

"You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken." ― Anaïs Nin
'Human nature has been sold short… humans have a higher nature which… Includes the need for meaningful work, for responsibility, for creativeness, for being fair and just, for doing what is worthwhile and for preferring to do it well.' Abraham Maslow
"Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power." – Oscar Wilde
"The world doesn't care if you're shy…" -bjos144
To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.

A method for preserving and visualizing the three-dimensional structure of the mouse zonule
Steven Bassnett
Ophthalmology & Visual Science
Mechanical failure of the ciliary zonule characterizes several ocular and systemic diseases. The mouse has emerged as a useful model system to investigate the composition and structure/function relationships of the zonule. However, visualizing the organization of the diaphanous fibers that comprise the zonule is technically challenging because the fibers do not take up conventional histological stains and are disrupted easily during processing. Here, we describe a simple method for maintaining physiological pressure within the mouse eye during fixation, and a gel-embedding technique for stabilizing the zonular fibers during subsequent tissue processing and imaging steps. This approach facilitates quantitative measurements of fiber number and cross-sectional dimensions and will allow the effects of targeted disruption of zonule components to be assessed systematically.

The 11th workshop under the auspices of the European Association for Museums of Medical Historical Sciences was held from July 4 till 6 in the old Estonian University town of Tartu (formerly Dorpat). We were the guests of the fabulous new AHHAA centre, a very attractive activity hall in which science in all its varieties is exposed and experienced. The AHHAA building houses also the anatomical and pathological collections of the Tartu University, this as a replacement for the old Anatomical Theatre on Tooms Hill which had to be abandoned some two years ago.
As announced in the Berlin Conference, the main theme was: A new life for old skeletons and paper mache models." Apart from the Estonian organizers representatives (approximately 25) from England, India, Lithuania, Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Sweden and Ukraine were present.
Unfortunately, a number of the earlier registered members had to cancel their participation, due to the economical crises and other personal reasons.
At the start of the meeting papers were presented by Inger Wikström-Haugen, about the History of the EAMMHS, John Le Grand, Bony Stories and Jana Limbo-Simovart about the several Contents of Chemical Elements in archeological Human Bones as a Source of Nutrition Research. Then there was a practical session on cleaning paper mache models in which each participant did have a task! This al was introduced by Ene Sarap of Mandragora Ltd. The next practical session was about cleaning excavated (human) bones. Some very useful advises were spread. The third practical session was about the conservation of the eye. For this aim a number of frozen pigs eyes were available. This was for many of us an extraordinary experience.
Of course, there were several occasions to exchange experiences and to get to know each other. During these discussions there came proposals to have the next meeting in Wroclaw (Poland) at the forensic museum of the university. Unanimously this suggestion was taken over. The ideal theme would be "DNA techniques in historical anatomical materials." The undersigned will try to propagate this further in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Tadeusz Dobosz, head of the department.
There was a visit to the Botanical Gardens of Tartu, where very nice refreshments were served. Also a visit to the Beer factory and Museum of Le Coq was quite an experience. The workshop was ended by a tour on a barge at the Emajogi river, another highlight of our meeting not only because of the very nice and warm weather, but also food and drinks! Realizing it was a long journey for most of us, one could wish our meeting had been a day longer. Not in the last place because of the nice atmosphere and kind hospitality of the Tartu community. Concluding we look back to a very successful meeting, which was perfectly organized by our inspiring colleague Maie Toomsalu, and her team.
