Sidney Poitier: The charming trailblazer who continually challenged stereotypes
After the Academy Award winner dies at 94, Geoffrey Macnab pays tribute to a singular actor whose profound influence and legacy will be everlasting
一世f you want to know what white middle-class America made of Sidney Poitier, a good place to start is with the reception the Manhattan socialites played by Stockard Channing and Donald Sutherland give to Will Smith's con artist in the movie of hit play Six Degrees of Separation (1993). Smith plays Paul, a stranger who turns up at their door, saying that he has just been mugged and claiming he is Poitier's son. They're delighted by him. He is urbane, 迷人, well-educated… just like his dad – and seemingly possesses no threat to them. They're only too delighted to lavish their munificence on him.
Poitier was the first Black man to win the Academy Award for Best Actor, 为了 Lilies of the Field (1963). He was the star who made white liberal types, like those played by Channing and Sutherland, purr with pleasure about his performances and feel good about themselves in the process. There is a tremendous moment in Six Degrees during which Smith delivers a rapid-fire monologue about the man he claims is his father, giving his white hosts a potted history of exactly how Poitier made it to the top. This was a rags-to-riches story of the most extreme kind.
The actor certainly came from very humble beginnings. Poitier was born prematurely in Miami in 1927, weighing only three pounds. He very nearly died at birth. His father was an impoverished farmer from the Bahamas who had come to Florida to sell tomatoes. The "future Jackie Robinson of film" grew up so poor that – as Smith puts it – "he didn't even own dirt". When he first arrived in New York in 1943, he lived in the most impoverished circumstances imaginable, eking out an existence as a dishwasher and teaching himself how to read by studying newspapers.
From this very unpromising start, he became one of the biggest box office draws in the US. As his biographer Aram Goudsouzian wrote about Poitier, there was a long period of his career when he was "Hollywood's lone icon of racial enlightenment; no other Black actor consistently won leading roles in major motion pictures".
In his films, Poitier would often play protagonists who were deeply frustrated at the prejudice they faced but that frustration would always be tempered. His characters weren't trying to overthrow a racist system but to change it from within. His image, as Goudsouzian put it, was "tied to non-violence and integration". Director Stanley Kramer called him "the only actor I've ever worked with who has the range of Marlon Brando – from pathos to great power". Poitier, 然而, was rarely allowed to play The Wild One-like rebels who made Brando famous or to get in touch with his inner Stanley Kowalski. Even when he was cast as a young delinquent in Richard Brooks' Blackboard Jungle (1955), it was very telling that he was ultimately shown to be on the side of the authorities as represented by the idealistic school teacher played by Glenn Ford.

Poitier's range, 尽管, was enormous. He played a journalist investigating, and goading, an Ahab-like US Navy destroyer captain (理查德·威德马克) in James B Harris' The Bedford Incident (1965); he was a hipster jazz musician in Paris Blues (1961); a Moorish warrior king in Viking saga, The Long Ships (1964); a church minister in anti-apartheid drama, Cry The Beloved Country (1951); and he was Simon of Cyrene, helping Max von Sydow's Jesus carry his cross in The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965). He could do light romantic comedy (Guess Who's Coming to Dinner), social realism and action movies. He even ventured into musicals, 主演, albeit reluctantly and not doing his own singing, in Otto Preminger's screen version of Porgy and Bess (1959).
Probably Poitier's two most celebrated roles were as the escaped convict shackled to Tony Curtis in Stanley Kramer's The Defiant Ones (1958) and as Detective Virgil Tibbs in Norman Jewison's In the Heat of the Night (1967), in which he starred opposite Rod Steiger's racist police chief. Both were rousing but manipulative buddy movies in which the two leading men overcome their immense initial hostility and establish a strong rapport.
Poitier was smart, good looking and effortlessly charismatic. Critics sometimes mocked him for his perceived conformism – for not being more radical in his choices of movies. 那, 尽管, was never his strategy. As the only major Black male film star of his era, he had a profound influence. By taking such a wide variety of roles, he was continually challenging deeply entrenched stereotypes. He demanded to be acknowledged as an artist and would grow hugely frustrated at those who tried to define him by his race. As the Will Smith monologue in Six Degrees of Separation attested, in his own understated way, Poitier really was a trailblazer. Smith is just one of the many contemporary stars who owe a considerable debt to him.

ARTISTS EXHIBITIONS
ABOUT HAPPENINGS
VELMA ROSAI
THE WAYS OF MY SERPENT MOTHER ARE STRANGE
Sarah Brook Gallery is pleased to announce, "The Ways of My Serpent Mother Are Strange," the debut solo exhibition by Kenyan artist Velma Rosai. With this exhibition, Rosai pulls from her African heritage and Haiti's snake mythology to create dream-woven abstract paintings on paper.
The form of the snake is phallic but her spirit is maternal, linking sexual power to creativity. The admiration and worship of the snake in these cultures centers on the snake's powers of rebirth, embodied by the shedding of her skin. The snake periodically creates a three-dimensional embossment of itself, a portal which the sprit can thenstand apart from, view, and move through. In this shedding/creation of an imprint of the body, the subject becomes examinable object, both aligned with and departed from. In this way the snake shedding her skin is like the making of the artwork, bringing into view that which is unspeakable.
The cyclical nature of the body's rituals, including its dreams, can be counted on to yield what is needed. We are reborn from ourselves, from within, we are our own serpent mothers and the daughters of our birth mothers as well. This dual continuity is evoked by the super-imposition of ourselves upon our mothers and infinitum back through history, touching our ancestry through the birth/rebirth cycle. Every moment of birth touches with all the birth of the past and all the birth of the future. In this way, we form intrinsic consciousness with all that came before and all that will follow. We see that while nothing belongs to us alone, we are a part of everything. There is no death, only regeneration, only perpetual and resplendent motherhood. We follow the lines of the body, spiraling out around and around again, apprehending feelings that are deeply present within us all.
Born in Nairobi, Kenya, Velma Rosai earned a BA in 2012 from Monash University in South Africa and Australia. Rosai completed artist in residence programs in Oaxaca, Mexico in 2021 as well as London, UK in 2022. She currently lives and works between Nairobi and Lamu Island, which is off the coast of Kenya in the Indian Ocean.

Modern Contemporary Framing encompasses using simple, metallic, flat, sharp, bright or glossy frames to accentuate the inner artwork without overpowering the inner art piece. This type of design is especially popular in today's modern and minimalist spaces and interiors.
The best quality frames are made of either metal or wood. Wooden frames usually have a warmer, more inviting and traditional look, while gold ornate frames tend to give an artwork more stature and also assists to depict the era or style the painting was from. This is desirable for certain pieces of artwork such as a fine art, traditional paintings, a rich color photograph or a heirloom piece.
In contrast, metallic looking frames, with their straight edges and sharp corners, tend to portray a bolder and more contemporary, even industrial look. Metal frames are commonly used for black and white photography and other modern media.
To illustrate the differences between wood and metal, can you imagine the Mona Lisa set in a metal frame? Would this masterpiece not look awkward and out of place in such a modern and contemporary frame? On the other hand, the black and white photograph of the Brooklyn bridge looks like it would be right at home in a metal frame!

Should I Update My Website Design and Backend?
When is the right time to update my site, what should my design look like and do I need a professional designer?
It can be costly to redesign or update your website. But not doing it could cost you even more, especially if e-commerce is your primary form mode of business. Your website is the home of your brand – in this day and age even more so than your physical premises. It is the place potential customers go to in order to find out who you are, what you do and why you do it. If your website leaves a poor impression with visitors it can be hugely detrimental to your brand and your business.
If your business operates by e-commerce, then there is simply no excusing an outdated website. You won't make sales, and your business will fail.
So how can you tell if your website needs updating (or even replacing)? If it is time to update what sort of design elements should you be considering? Let's take a look at each of these questions in turn.
A wise man once wrote, "Websites age in dog years". What he was saying is that for every year that your website exists it ages seven. With the rate at which technology is improving if you don't keep your website up to date you will quickly be left behind, and your customers, who expect nothing short of the best service, will leave you for someone who can meet their demands.
It's 2018. If your website isn't responsive yet you may as well just place your landline listing in the phone book and be done with it. What is responsive design? A responsive website is one that adjusts in size and functionality depending on what kind of device you are viewing it from. So, if you view it on a desktop it will look slightly different to if you are viewing it on a tablet or smart phone. The difference isn't just in the size of the screen. A responsive site is sensitive to the different speeds and data availability for different devices and it compresses your website accordingly.
This is not just a button to take visitors to your Facebbok site. Your website should be set up in such a way that vistors will receive valuable resources (Such as guide books or tips, or even discounts) by signing up to your blog or newsletter. This allows you to send them well crafted marketing material and links to your latest blog article on a regular basis.
In days gone by websites had a separate blog that was accessed through the main site. Today it should be built in as a feature of your site. Blogging is a proven method of inbound marketing and you should absolutely be taking advantage of it. If your website doesn't have a built in blog it's time for an update.
This is a sign that your site is in need of an update. If you have web traffic but it doesn't convert then you need to look at why. It could be that your landing pages are not optimised or that your site is just too unresponsive or old fashioned. It breaks the trust of people who visit your website.
This is a sure fire sign that you are either targeting the wrong markets in your Adwords campaigns (or your Social Media campaigns) or that your website is not User Friendly. A high bounce rate is indicative that the visitor is either having a negative first impression or they can't easily find what they are looking for.
If your UX is outdated people will simply leave your site. A user friendly website should be: easy to navigate; offer valuable information to the visitor; be interesting to the visitor; be able to predict their preferences using machine learning; offer remarketing once they leave the site; and much more.
Red Alert! If your web pages take a long time to load you need to have your site assessed urgently. Whether you need a completely new site or just a few upgrades is between you and your web designer, but something needs to be done urgently.
Remember that even if you can't afford to recreate your entire website, you can probably implement fixes starting with the most important pages and removing redundant apps and features.
If you add new products and other content to your website yourself and it's getting harder to do, it's probably time for an updated website. CMS (Content management systems) are being introduced and updated all the time. If yours gets outdated it won't display properly on different devices and it could mean the loss of sales and customers.
If you have had the exact same site carrying the same products for more than two years then your customers are probably bored of looking at it. They want to be inspired when they visit your website – they want to feel that new things are happening and that you are keeping them up to date. Make sure your look is fresh. In the same breath, make sure that your meta data, image alt text and categories are updated too.
At the end of the day your e-commerce website exists to help you make conversions. If your payment gateway is not secure, or if it is out of date, you will have very serious problems from a business point of view. Make sure that your security is as up to date as the hackers and security thieves.
Can visitors share their finds and wish-lists?
Your website should not only link back to all of your relevant Social Media channels for visitors to follow you, it should also allow them to share the things on your site that excite them. Whether it is a blog article that's relevant to them, or a product they want for their birthday, they should be able to share it via Social Media.
If you have gone through the list above and decided that it's time to update your e-commerce website, you will be looking for some design inspiration. You want a website design that is functional, up-to-date and modern without being too flash-in-the-pan trendy. The trick is to make sure that every design element you work in to your new website is functional and supports your sales and marketing goals. If you have something just because it's trendy, without it adding value to your site, it will quickly outlive its appeal.
Automated bots and cyber assistants are no longer high tech, they are expected. Make sure you are using software that utilizes a combination of deep learning and virtual assistance.
Deep learning and machine learning are another of the once Sci-fi like technologies that are now mandatory. Make sure you are using them.
(but they should still be small files and load fast) Customers want details. Video and Images are there to help you sell, tell your story and attract customers. Use less text, clear concise, SEO copy and focus on your appealing visuals.
This follows from the "is your website responsive" question above. More and more people are making purchases from their mobile devices. Make sure that your website is fully optimised for mobile experiences. Long scroll is the friend of mobile – and people are accustomed to it. We prefer to scroll through than having to open new pages.
A lot of trending new sites are using animated videos to demonstrate how their products are used.
Here are some websites that are getting it right. Take a look at what they are doing and see if any of them inspire you. Ask your web designer to help you create a website that brings in some of these elements: space, functionality, visuals over text.
The legends of YouTube marketing – this website is everything it should be and nothing more, and it works.
This site looks simple and sophisticated, but it gives the visitor exactly what they're looking for. It also highlights perks like free delivery without being tacky.
This website is clean and appealing. It is conscious of its target market and doesn't clutter the visitor experience.
Using imagery to appeal to their target market, Reebok offers a friendly user experience, convenient checkout and easy delivery options in a clean, open background.

Further information regarding the offer from Royal Wins is contained in the CSF Offer document.
Thank you for considering to be part of the Royal Wins journey. Royal Wins are on the cusp of becoming the world's first licensed real money pure skill gaming company.
The market prospects for Royal Wins are very exciting. The Company has already proven itself, in just 2 years from launch, the Company's flagship Kash Karnival product had received 1,800,000 subscribers and 589,354 active users for the last quarter. Revenues for the 2018 financial year were almost $1.7M.
Gaming habits have changed drastically over the last decade with baby boomers aging and technology savvy millennials forming the primary segment of consumers. Participation in traditional games of chance such as slot and poker machines have steadily declined as a generation of players who have grown up on Angry Birds and Candy Crush look to games of skill over games of chance.
Royal Wins is now looking to further capitalize on the demographic shift and lengthen our head start by acquiring an iGaming license from the Canadian Kahnawake Gaming Commission in order to aggressively target users on Google PlayStore and Apple AppStore, and to globally scale its skill gaming product.
We look forward to welcoming you on board as owners of a company that is leading the evolution of the gaming industry.
Royal Wins is an Australian mobile gaming & wagering technology company that was founded in November 2013. Royal Wins' leading game, Kash Karnival is the world's first pure skill gaming app that allows players to bet and win in casual mobile games of skill rather than chance or odds-based casino games. The Company designs, develops and operates wagering and betting real money pure skill games, to disrupt and dominate the online mobile gaming space targeting millennial markets.
In order for Royal Wins to be able to operate a pure skill-based casino, the Company has developed algorithms to adjust the difficulty of pure skill-based games in response to human player input. The more skillful a player is at a game, the greater the difficulty of the games become, and vice versa. This technology enables the Company to run pure skill-based casino games by adjusting the Return-to-Player (RTP) and House Edge (HE) according to the skill of the player. The Company is currently applying and monetizing these algorithms to its existing operating wagering portal, Kash Karnival. Currently, Kash Karnival has 12 skill arcade games and 4 lotteries, with 1,800,000 subscribers and 589,354 active users for the last quarter (active quarterly users have played at least once in the past 3 months).
What is our business strategy?
Since being launched, the Company flagship Kash Karnival has been operating as a pure-skill platform rather than being based on random-number generation (RNG). In August of 2017, Kash Karnival was removed from the Google Playstore due to the requirement to have a gambling license similar to other RNG based gambling games. Shortly after this, the Company also voluntarily withdrew Kash Karnival from the Apple Playstore.
Since that time, the Company has been focused on getting its skill-based iGaming license, so it is able to launch Kash Karnival again via the Google Playstore and Apple Appstore. The Company has lodged its application to the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and anticipates obtaining the licence by the end of June 2019 after which we will be re-entering the Apple App Store and Android platforms.
The immediate opportunity for investors is to be positioned ahead of the granting of this license and to have exposure to one of the very few Company's globally that not only have a skilled-gaming based license but also the IP necessary to fully exploit the market.
To summarise the above, Royal Wins's immediate focus is to acquire an iGaming license so it can exploit its first-mover advantage to capture a large percentage of the mobile game pure-skill wagering market. Royal Wins will expand on what it has already proven works.
In the medium term, the Company will continue rolling out its B2C Kash Karnival product via the App Stores once it has been licensed in order to further enhance revenues and profitability. On the B2C side of the business, it is anticipated that the Company will reach a run rate revenue of A$2.3m by January 2020 and $5.2m by January 2021.
There are also medium-term B2B opportunities that the Company will begin to explore which involve the commercialization of the core IP that has been developed (not included in the revenue projections above). One such B2B opportunity is to partner with traditional land-based casinos to implement pure skill-based games on their premises. Royal Wins would be able to white label these games and skin them with its customers brand and logos.
The opportunity for land-based casinos to start moving towards skilled gaming is enormous. The 'baby boomer' a generation which has been content with non-skill based pure RNG gambling games will soon be replaced with the millennial generation which has grown up with pure-skill gaming. This transformation in the demographic will potentially impact the profitability of those existing casino operators that are not able to engage the millennial market.
Royal Wins's long-term vision is to be the premier developer of pure-skill based mobile gaming wagering. All players of legal age should be able to play and win life-changing jackpots and prizes based solely upon their skill instead of only on chance and odds.
Royal Wins's business model has been successfully executed across the world with a player base in a multitude of countries. When the Company was originally launched in the App store, the Company's operations were underpinned by the following metrics.
As Company the company achieves scale, Acquisition Costs per user will drop in tandem and strategies can be executed to improve ARPU and retention rates.
Although the Company has the intention to begin exploring a B2B business model in time (with a roll out to land-based casinos), the Company is currently focused on executing on its current proven B2C channel to market strategy. Consequently, this will remain the focus of the Company for the foreseeable future. The formulation of the appropriate B2B strategy will evolve over time.
Licensing Risk: There is the possibility that the Company is unable to attain its iGaming license from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. If this is the case, the Company will have to look at getting its license in another jurisdiction such as Malta, or it may mean the Company will pivot into a B2B model – providing skill-based games to existing operators and publishers. There is no guarantee the Company will be able to receive another license in another jurisdiction, nor that it will be able to successfully pivot into a different business model.
Execution Risk: There is a risk that the Company may not be able to execute on delivering the number of users and paying users that it anticipates. Consequently, there is a risk that the Company will be unable to achieve its expected milestones in the anticipated timeframe. This may include user targets, revenue targets or the Company's ability to list.
Competition Risk: To the best knowledge of the Company, existing competition or competing products in countries across the world are currently negligible. There are competitors such as Gamblit Gaming which have recently received US$25M (2017). Although the Company's product and technology are best of breed, and although the Company has spent significant funds investing in its technology, there is the risk that others may attempt to enter the market, or existing and unknown competitors gain significant market share which inhibits the growth of Royal Wins in the future, or adversely impacts the Company's competitive position.
Legislative change risk: There is the risk that legislation changes to make Royal Win's activities illegal in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
Operating Risk: The performance of Royal Wins is dependent on being able to onboard customers at an attractive CAC. The failure of the company to do this may result in less than anticipated revenue growth.
Market Risk: Markets are subject to a host of factors, including economic conditions, government regulations, market sentiment, local and international political events and environmental and technological issues. Market risk may have different impacts on each investment and investment style.
Legal, Tax and Regulatory Risks: Legal, tax and regulatory changes may occur during the term of operations, which could have an adverse effect on Royal Wins. Royal Wins may have limited legal recourse in the event of a dispute, and remedies may have to be pursued in the courts.
Investment Values Rise and Fall: If Royal Wins is unable to demonstrate continued traction in its target markets, or if market conditions deteriorate, or if both of these conditions occur, the value of an investment in Royal Wins may be affected detrimentally. Neither Royal Wins nor any other entity guarantees any particular rate of return being earned by Royal Wins for investors.
There are rules for handling your money. However, if your money is handled inappropriately or the person operating the platform on which this offer is published becomes insolvent, you may have difficulty recovering your money.
Equity crowd funding is risky.
Issuers using this facility include new or rapidly growing ventures. Investment in these types of businesses is very speculative and carries high risks.

Online Gaming Is Easy When You Have The Right Advice
Online games sure have come a long way from the big, bulky machines you used to slip a quarter into for a few minutes of play. They now help educate the world, not just keep it entertained. To learn more about Online games and how to get the most out of yours, read on.
To master a Online game, practice all that you can. When you feel like you've practiced enough, stop, breathe and then practice some more. Online games are a passion for many players, and if you expect to compete online, your skill sets will need to be honed extremely well.
Online games are expensive, so rather than purchase one that you are unsure if you will like, rent them. Many services offer Online games for rent for a certain price every month. By renting the Online game first, you can test it out to see if you like it and the buy it if you do.
Look for cheat codes by doing a simple promo555 search on the Internet. Sometimes this is the best place to find cheats and other perks for Online games, without paying for a cheat book. You can find out which codes work and which ones don't by doing a little research.
For parents, Online games can present a genuine conundrum. Your kids certainly want to play the latest and greatest games that their friends are talking about, but you want to have some control over what they experience. The solution is simple: Do a little multi-player gaming with your children! Play together with them so that you know what they're seeing and doing.
Don't play all day - limit it to two hours or less. Playing these games can lead to an addiction, which can impact your social life. Limit the time you spend playing to just a couple or three hours each day. If you're someone who plays long hours, then it's best to take plenty of breaks during the day.
Sell your old gaming items. Instead of just letting your gaming items you no longer use sit around and collect dust, sell them. You can either sell them online or at many different game stores. In most areas you can find Online game stores that buy and sell gaming items.
Do not let Online games you are never going to play again pile up. Get something back for them towards your next game. Either trade them it at your nearest Online game store or sell them at a used cd/movie store. You can also list them online through an auction or classified listing.
If you have older Online games you don't play anymore, don't just dispose of them. Many stores let you trade your games in for money. When you get cash from trading in your old game, you can apply the money to a new one.
To save some money on your Online games, think about subscribing to a service that you can rent games from. The cost of these rental agreements for a year is usually less than the price of two games. You can keep the games until you beat them and just send them back and order another one.
If you play online multiplayer games, don't neglect the power of voice chat! A microphone or headset is a very modest investment, and being able to talk to your fellow players has a lot of benefits. You can forge stronger bonds with the gaming community and be a more effective team player when you can communicate out loud.
Always read up on a Online game title before you invest your hard-earned money in it! It can be tough to wade through the sea of biased reviews that spring up around any popular Online game, but you may uncover important information that has an impact on your buying decision. Have a little patience and figure out if the game in question is really worth your time and money.
Try to restrain your major gaming to only one kind of machine. Buying all the major consoles plus a gaming-worthy personal computer can cost up to thousands, just in hardware. Yet, most big titles will be available on almost all of them. Choose one platform to stick with for savings.
Get up and take a break during marathon gaming sessions. Just push the pause button or wait until you've finished a level, and then get up and walk around. Take about five to ten minutes resting your eyes and hands, and then you can get back to the game where you left off.
When you are looking to purchase Online games, it is imperative that the store you purchase from is reliable. Always ask if the store accepts returns. If a game looks good based on the graphics, but doesn't deliver, you need backup. If the store doesn't allow returns, choose a store that does!
Trading games with friends and family is a simple and affordable way to ensure you can play new titles without paying an arm and a leg. Create a network of traders in such a way that one person buys a new title and the rest share it once the first player is done.
From learning a new language to improving your mathematical prowess, there are no limits to what Online games can do for you. Not to mention the sheer fun of them! Hopefully this article has provided you with some helpful information you can use to make your gaming experience even more valuable.

Abstract: It was reported that the reaction between Al and Ti takes place and Al3Ti compound is formed during the annealing at 500 °C. Annealing at higher temperatures, such as 550 and 600 °C, the Al3Ti compound transforms to Al5Ti2. It is believed that the Al5Ti2 is thermodynamically stable comparing with Al3Ti. In the present research, the interfacial reactions in Al-0.5 wt.% Cu/Ti/SiO2/Si structure have been investigated in the samples prepared by ionized metal plasma (IMP) and then annealed at various temperatures from 200 to 600 °C for 30 min in Argon ambient. The results obtained by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy show that there is a Ti layer (52 nm in thickness) between Al5Ti2 and SiO2 and there is no formation of the ternary compound - AlxTiySiz, which is detrimental in the contact metallization layer. It indicates that the Ti layer deposited by IMP technique acts as a barrier to retard the reaction between Al5Ti2 and SiO2 and consequentially protect the contact metallization layer.

Professor Emeritus of English Edwin "Ted" Stein died at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City on Sept, 1, 2011. He had been battling cancer for three and a half years.
Ted taught at Whitman from 1979 to 1997. He taught English and the First-Year General Studies Program.
Ted is survived by his wife, Judith Stein; his sons Christopher and Kevin; his daughter-in-law, Michele; Christopher and Michele's two children, Maya and Caden; his sister, Gerda Norvig; his cousin, Helen Stein; and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
Miriam Wagenschein died July 23, 2011. A native of Kingsville, Texas, she was born to Carl F. Wagenschein and Joe Lee Howard.
She earned her bachelor's degree in sociology from the University of Texas, a master's degree from the University of Chicago and her doctorate from Stanford University. A faculty member at Whitman from 1950 to 1967, Wagenschein served as a sociology instructor and dean of women, earning tenure in 1956.
After working at Illinois State University during the late 1960s, Wagenschein was hired in 1972 as an academic planning consultant for the new college of arts and humanities at Texas A&M Corpus Christi, and later served as its first dean. Wagenschein is credited with bringing the women's movement to Corpus Christi, teaching the first women's studies course, "Men and Women: Roles in Transition," and opening a women's center at the university.
"She did everything she could to improve the quality of life for people," her cousin Tommy Gardner told the Corpus Christi Caller Times.
Wagenschein retired in 1998 after 25 years at the university. A memorial was dedicated in her honor on August 31, 2011.
Wagenschein is preceded in death by her parents and sister Carol Dryden.

I would like to be able to fly if everyone else did, but otherwise it would be kind of conspicuous.
– 12-year-old girl quoted by David Riesman in The Lonely Crowd.
Perhaps the valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do when it has to be done, whether you like it or not.
To will and not to do when there is opportunity, is in reality not to will; and to love what is good and not to do it, when it is possible, is in reality not to love it.
Never mind your happiness. Do your duty.
All worthwhile men have good thoughts, good ideas and good intentions—but precious few of them ever translate those into action.
ØREN KIERKEGAARD the Danish religious philosopher and minister, wrote a multitude of works in the middle of the 19th-century. Among his papers, is a story he wrote entitled the Tame Geese. In this story he asks us to imagine that these geese could, like us, talk and think and do the kinds of things that we do. The geese went to church every week. Each week they were inspired by a powerful, motivating sermon by the high goose. The sermon always went the same. The high goose would tell the assembled geese of their high destiny and about what a high goal the Creator had appointed geese for he had given them wings. As he said all this, the geese would honk and squawk their approval. The geese curtsied and the ganders bowed their heads in honor of the great words. With their wings, the high goose told them, they could fly anywhere they wanted around the world. They were most pleased to hear this. And each week after church, as they dispersed, the geese would ... waddle ... home.
Why didn't the geese fly?
After hearing and understanding such a powerful message about the opportunities available to them, they seemed to ignore it. They didn't fly home. The message made no impact on their lives. They continued to do what they had always done. They waddled home.
Why, when there were so many good reasons to change, didn't the geese fly?
It seems a part of the human condition that we don't always do what we know we should. We don't always act in our own best interest, even when we know better. In fact, we sometimes even deliberately do things that we know we are going to end up paying for in the long run. We might call this phenomenon the Amazing Action Anomaly. That is, people most often know what it is they should be doing but usually choose to ignore or act in contradiction to either their strongest instincts or to reality. Although, it makes no sense, we continue to waddle.
In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul put it in a far more poetic way in his writings. We shall call it Paul's Performance Paradox. Simply stated it says, that which I would do, I don't. That which I don't want to do, I do. Paul says that he can't explain it. It makes no sense to him, but he says he doesn't always do what he should. Just like Paul we also can be found doing or not doing what we should be doing, as the case may be.
As a general rule, our problem is not one of ignorance—in fact, is surprising how much we really do know—our problem is one of action. That is, acting on what we know.
How many times have we heard or read something and said, "I've got to work on that" or "I've got to change that" and then a few weeks or months later look at our lives and find that nothing has happened? We find that we have done nothing to implement what we have learned. There has been no forward movement. No action. We are still waddling home.
Sometimes we waddle home because we act as though knowing something is the same thing as doing something. Knowing is not the same as doing. Knowledge must have a context or it is just information. Knowledge must take us somewhere—to a new understanding, to a new attitude, to a new behavior or to a new way of doing things.
In order to effectively and permanently make changes in our life we need to get at the attitudes behind the required actions. Possessing the attitude will give us ownership of the related action. Our actions flow from our attitudes. We must keep in mind that everything we do is a reflection of our attitudes. We need to be mindful of these attitudes and relate them to every thought and action no matter how seemingly insignificant it might be.
Frequently our knowledge increases and our understanding deepens by just doing what we know to do. This relationship between the knowing or the learning of a thing and the doing of a thing creates an interesting dynamic. By learning-by-doing we are already putting into action what we know or are learning. This helps to integrate us by bringing together our thoughts and actions and in turn sets the stage for even greater growth. We can understand better what we are actually doing and create the habits we need to develop to understand not only more but perhaps more importantly, what it is we have yet to know. This is to say, that doing can provide us with direction—the where we are to grow or the what we are to work on.
Often we can see and understand the basic principle on the surface, but we can get to the why component by doing or putting into effect the basic principle. We can better see the effects of our behavior and its additional applications. In other words, we can better implement what we know—and more effectively apply what we know—by beginning to do what we know.
Taking action requires more than just hearing or talking about doing something.
Sometimes we find ourselves waddling home, because we confuse talk with action. We often act as if talking about doing something will get the job done. Talk is only a stepping-stone to action.
Talk can seem like action, as it is an activity of and by itself. But without it leading to a change of attitude or behavior, it's still just talk. However, that said, we shouldn't discount the value of talk. Talk can help us to gather together the scattered forces of the mind for united action. In doing so it can generate enthusiasm for whatever we are trying to do. But, again, talk alone is powerless.
Sometimes we waddle home out of fear of the unknown. Change always creates a period of uncertainty. We as humans tend toward the status quo. We prefer the familiar to the unfamiliar. Sometimes we prefer a bad situation or a wrong way of thinking to that which we know is right, because the changes would create a new pattern of behavior that we don't yet know how to deal with. All change requires some degree of loss and leaving. It is helpful to understand just what it is we are leaving behind—what must be abandoned to make the change. Any transition period is a time of uncertainty and we have a natural tendency to return to where we just came from. With that knowledge of our own behavior, we are better able to work through our tendencies and get on with the changes that we need to make.
Sometimes we waddle home because we don't know how to stop doing what we've been doing in order that we may begin doing what it is we want to do. It's not always easy to see just how we are to stop doing something and still keep everything we must be doing, in motion. This is when we need to seek people who have gone where we want to go. They can be found among our family and friends, in books, in seminars and recordings. They can be of immeasurable help in giving us the courage to do what must be done.
Sometimes we waddle home because it is just plain hard to see ourselves doing whatever it is we need to do. It conflicts with our view of ourselves. We must have a forward vision. It is important to know what we are trying to change to and then see ourselves moving to that end. We must know what the promised land looks like or how will we know when we get there? Create a positive image of where you want to be.
When we find in our lives conflict, pain, tension, fear, confusion, or things just not making sense . . . these are signals that change is called for. Progress begging to happen. Once we confront them, the growth process begins.
However, waiting to change until pain or necessity demand it is physically limiting. When we do this we are only reacting to negative input in our lives. To really change we need to take an active role in our growth. We can't afford to wait until we feel forced to change or until a situation demands it of us.
When things aren't working for us, when we know to do better, we can't afford to be content with waddling home. We must do what we know to do and find out about that which we don't know.
It's not good enough to say "I'm just this way or that way" and not to be sincerely working on it. It is easy to make excuses for and dismiss our problems or to just psychoanalyze them away. Like it runs in the family or I've always been that way or It's just my personality.
We have all heard that if we continue to do what we have always done, we will continue to get what we have always gotten. This is another way of saying that we will reap what we sow. And there is a multiplier effect at work here though too. We not only will get back what we have put in, but we will get back more than we bargained for. This will work for us and against us depending on what we sow.
Quite often we know what it is we are to be doing. But, knowing is not enough. Knowing doesn't make us successful. Doing makes us successful.
Let's not waddle home when we know to fly.

For immediate releaseMontreal, October 14, 2020
Today, BEYRIES returns with Closely, a new, moving song that will surely touch the hearts of her audience. The track is off her upcoming sophomore album Encounter, to be released on November 13th via Bonsound. The album is available to pre-order now.
As the name implies, BEYRIES lays herself bare without pretense on Closely, a tender, intimate conversation about what lies beneath, complete with soaring harmonies, reverberating percussion and a haunting piano. The new single follows the exhilarating Over Me and the memorable Out of Touch, and finds BEYRIES right in her element, with little separation between herself and the listener.
Closely is accompanied by a music video directed by Raphaëlle Chovin, the same French director who offered us the video for Over Me. Closely is a melancholic, warm road movie that meanders through memory lane, making the present stronger and more powerful, explains the director.
Watch and share the video for Closely on YouTube.
The song is available now on all music services.
Every song on Encounter, BEYRIES' new majestic 11-track LP, tells a story. Through her unceasing commitment to songcraft, to melody, harmony and lyrics, the album elegantly describes the earnest, fulfilling connections we make along our journey. Composed entirely on her recently restored 1923 Heintzman & Co. family piano, and expanded with lush instrumentation, BEYRIES approached songwriting with a fundamental desire to write songs like the classics from her youth. She kept working at them, until each piece embodied the kind of timeless spirit that leaves a person in awe. Encounter also asks and answers the question that lingers in every songwriter: what's my story? With this album, BEYRIES dug deep within herself to share her story in a way like never before.

All insurance and monetary professionals are required to take some type of continuous schooling. MOOCs, in particular, can be utilized to deliver together geographically dispersed clients—professionals, public servants, etc.—into sustained studying communities that may have an prolonged consulting and research transfer relationship with school in a number of educational units.
However, many continuing education schemes make heavy use of distance learning , which not solely consists of unbiased examine, however also can embrace videotaped / CD-ROM materials, broadcast programming or On-line Schooling which has more lately dominated the distance studying community.
Centralized Continuing Training support services, empowered by the new technology and by internal policies that create a tradition of revolutionary engagement, supply a approach that universities will help faculty engage the communities we serve and whose taxes support many facets of our public higher education system.
Persevering with Training can effectively embrace online know-how to raised articulate the aim of serving the neighborhood with noncredit packages, research and technology switch packages, assist for K-12 training and community growth, and related services.
The CE unit wants two issues: (1) a transparent costing and revenue sharing coverage that operates as institution-vast policy so that every one models are treated equally and (2) a governing body with representation from throughout the most important academic schools so that danger is balanced.

10 things you need to know today: April 30, 2012
The U.S. seeks asylum for a Chinese dissident, the head U.N. observer arrives in Syria, and more in our roundup of the stories that are making news and driving opinion
Hazim/CORBIS
1. OBAMA TRIES FOR BALANCE WITH CHINAA top advisor said Sunday that the president is trying to "balance our commitment to human rights" while still working "to carry out our relationships with key overseas countries," in the case of Chen Guangcheng, a blind Chinese dissident who escaped house arrest last week. Chen first gained attention from Chinese authorities when he openly criticized his country's practice of forced abortions. The Obama administration sent a diplomat to Beijing on Sunday to discuss Chen's fate and contain a burgeoning diplomatic crisis. A U.S. rights group says it's likely Chen will be granted asylum in the U.S. [New York Times, Associated Press]………………………………………………………………………………
2. CHIEF U.N. OBSERVER ARRIVES IN SYRIAMaj. Gen. Robert Mood, the head of the U.N. observer mission in Syria, arrived in Damascus Sunday. He will lead an advance team of 16 U.N. monitors hoping to salvage an international peace plan in the ravaged country. Despite a ceasefire that went into effect on April 12, heavy fighting in Syria persists; activists report that government troops killed at least 28 civilians on Sunday alone. Early Monday, there were conflicting reports of multiple deadly blasts throughout Syria. [Associated Press]………………………………………………………………………………
3. U.S. HELPS IN HUNT FOR KONY Since being deployed by President Obama to central Africa last year, some 100 U.S. troops have been helping African forces track down Joseph Kony, the notorious warlord and head of the brutal Lord's Resistance Army. The subject of a recent viral video, Kony, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity, has been accused of leading the LRA to kill and maim thousands of people and turning children into soldiers and sex slaves. [CNN]………………………………………………………………………………
4. APPLE LEGALLY DUCKS BILLIONS IN TAXES The New York Times reports that Apple legally sidesteps paying billions of dollars in taxes by setting up subsidiaries in low-tax foreign countries like Ireland and the British Virgin Islands and having an office in Nevada, where there is no corporate income tax. According to a recent study, such tactics helped Apple to lower its federal tax bill by $2.4 billion last year, meaning the company was taxed at a rate of just 9.8 percent. [New York Times]………………………………………………………………………………
5. BOEHNER ACCUSES OBAMA OF PICKING 'FAKE FIGHTS' House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) accused Obama of "diminishing the presidency by picking fake fights" in an interview broadcast Sunday. The comment was just the latest in a string of jabs Boehner has taken at the president. The president took a swipe at Boehner on Saturday at the White House Correspondents Dinner when he joked about Congress' failure to pass legislation. The latest point of contention between the two is how best to keep interest rates for student loans in check. [Washington Post]………………………………………………………………………………
6. WAR WITH IRAN IS SEEN AS LESS LIKELY Analysts say that a military conflict with Iran over its nuclear program is now less imminent. The threat of tighter economic sanctions has prompted Iranians "to try more flexible tactics in their dealings with the United States and other powers." Some Israeli leaders have also come to question the wisdom of a pre-emptive strike against Iran, a demonstration of cooling attitudes in the region. [New York Times]………………………………………………………………………………
7. WIND FARMS MAY CAUSE WARMING In an ironic twist, researchers have discovered that large wind farms may actually cause temperatures to rise. In a study of some of Texas' vast wind farms, scientists noted temperatures up to 0.72 percent higher than other nearby areas. [Reuters]………………………………………………………………………………
8. ROYALS CELEBRATE FIRST ANNIVERSARY Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, celebrated their first wedding anniversary on Sunday. The couple spent the day in their farmhouse on an island off the coast of Wales. [Newsday]………………………………………………………………………………
9. FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT FLOPS The Five-Year Engagement didn't fare well at the box office this weekend, bringing in an estimated $11.2 million to debut in fifth place. The Judd Apatow-produced romantic comedy stars Jason Segel and Emily Blunt. Think Like a Man continued to surprise, winning the weekend for the second week in a row. [E! Online]………………………………………………………………………………
10. INJURED HIKER SURVIVES FOUR DAYS WITHOUT FOODVictoria Grover, a 59-year-old physician assistant from Maine, survived four days in the Utah desert with a broken leg and no food or shelter before being rescued Saturday. Grover broke her leg while jumping off a 4-foot ledge, and became stranded on Tuesday. She credits her survival to her faith as well as her medical training. [Associated Press]

Q: I want to write a shell script to authorize the user but doesn't work I call the hello.sh in my .bash_profile.
I try to exit when the user enters a wrong name, but it doesn't work. I think this is because the profile is read before the shell actually runs, so the exit will not affect the shell running. How to reach my goal?
The code is:
#!/bin/bash
echo "What's you name?"
read name
if [ $name = "Frank" ]
then
  echo 'Hello' $name
  echo 'So happy to see you'
  echo 'Happy coding :)'
else
  echo 'You are not the right user.'
  echo `exit`
fi

A: Calling a shell file directly implicitly starts and executes in a new shell.  That means the exit statement is only exiting from the subshell.
Calling with ". hello.sh" will execute hello.sh in the existing shell, so the exit statement will terminate that shell and the window with it.

The Cowboy offense earned some praise from head coach Craig Bohl after Wyoming went through another practice of spring drills Tuesday.
Coach Bohl discussed the quarterbacks, offensive line and running backs showing improvement during the seventh practice. Bohl also was asked about injuries and their impact at certain spots, plus how it might affect Saturday's major scrimmage, which is closed to the public and media.
Injuries have hit certain position groups harder than others. Bohl said that running backs Kellen Overstreet and Trey Woods were hurt in the last week. Overstreet will have shoulder surgery and miss the rest of spring, while Woods is also a shoulder, but the extent is unknown. Bohl did say he thinks it's pretty significant.
Other spots where the Pokes are thin due to players recovering from injury or surgery in the off-season include wide receiver and along the defensive line.
UW returns to practice Thursday afternoon for their eighth of 15 practices allowed under NCAA rules during the spring.

Texas A&M wrap-up: Bama's defense lowers the boom on Aggies

By Jess Nicholas
TideFans.com Editor-In-Chief
If Alabama is going to make a run at a national championship, one of the things that must happen for the Crimson Tide has undeniably begun to happen the last two or three weeks: The defense is getting incrementally better every game.
Alabama traded the I-formation offenses of Georgia and Arkansas for Texas A&M's high-flying spread attack Saturday, and held it to 16 points of production. The Aggie rushing attack – which wasn't spectacular by any means coming in but was nonetheless respectable – was completely shut down. Alabama's defensive line lived in the Aggie backfield, quarterbacks Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray were mercilessly harassed, and Alabama's secondary put on a performance for the ages.
One of the biggest questions following this team, and Nick Saban in general, is whether Alabama can play defense against spread teams. While Alabama did a good job against Ole Miss' rushing attack in Week 3, the Rebels threw the ball effectively.
Texas A&M didn't.
The fact Alabama could limit both the Aggie rushing and passing attack simultaneously bodes well for the future, because there are several potential playoff opponents who can do both. Teams like TCU, Ohio State and Baylor have weapons all over the field, and if Alabama is vulnerable to either the run or the pass, it's going to make it tough on the Tide to avenge last year's semifinal exit.
It's not an easy task to be solid defensively against both ground and air games, and teams like TCU and Baylor, particularly, seem to have waved the white flag on defense altogether, preferring instead to run up as many points as possible and hope their own production is enough. Alabama stubbornly chooses to attempt to shut down the opposition, and its commitment to doing so is what won the game against the Aggies.
Not only did Alabama return three interceptions for touchdowns in this game, the defensive line throttled Texas A&M running back Tre Carson, which kept the Aggies from ever operating a run-pass option that the Tide would consider taking seriously. But the game's turning point may not have come on an interception, but a three-and-out defensive stand in the third quarter.
Alabama had just finished yielding a touchdown following a fumbled punt return when the Crimson Tide offense bogged down at its own 32. Punter J.K. Scott's kick was partially blocked and Texas A&M recovered at the UA 29-yard line, with both the crowd and momentum on its side.
After three plays, the Aggies had backed up 5 yards, thanks to a Reggie Ragland sack, and then Taylor Bertolet missed a field goal. The Aggies only crossed into Alabama territory once the remainder of the game – a drive that ended with a 36-yard field goal to draw within 15 points.
So out of sorts was the A&M offense, the Aggies only possessed the ball for 9 minutes and 58 seconds of the entire second half. And while Allen and Murray combined for 284 yards passing, much of it was between the 20s or even the 30s.
With Tennessee coming in next week before a much-deserved off-week, the Crimson Tide is slowly creeping back into the championship picture. Alabama still needs help – Ole Miss has to lose one more conference game, plus one of the Power 5 undefeated teams must lose – but the Crimson Tide's path to a title got a lot clearer following this win.
Offensively, Alabama is still a bit scattershot, but a defense that was a liability at times in 2014 is apparently on the road to recovery. Alabama may not be completely "back" on defense, but it isn't far off.
Here's the Five-Point Breakdown for Alabama-Texas A&M:
1. It's all about the talent in the secondary. Neither Minkah Fitzpatrick nor Ronnie Harrison were on the 2014 team, and their presence on the 2015 team has made a huge impact. So has redshirt freshman Marlon Humphrey stepping up at cornerback. But the biggest change of all came when Alabama moved cornerback Eddie Jackson to safety in the spring. The Crimson Tide had lacked a true ballhawk at safety in 2014 and Jackson may turn out to be the best in that role since Saban arrived, or at least since Rashad Johnson roamed the field. Fitzpatrick's ability to play the physical Star position one minute and flex out to the edge and cover a talented receiver one-on-one the next is something the Crimson Tide hasn't had since Javier Arenas was around. Melvin Tucker's fresh perspective as the defensive backfield coach hasn't hurt. Alabama's secondary isn't quite as good as its front seven just yet, but it won't be long now.

2. OL struggles show how thin the margin of error is. Alabama fans are famous for calling for the backup, and after Ryan Kelly struggled against Ole Miss, Tide fans wanted to see J.C. Hassenauer. They got him today. Hassenauer will be a fine center one day, but just as Kelly struggled with opposing defenses as a second-year player, so did Hassenauer against Texas A&M. Pistol and shotgun snaps sometimes went wide, and Hassenauer had no answer for Daylon Mack when Mack lined up across his face. But Kelly's ailment – originally reported as a concussion, but revised to perhaps heat exhaustion instead – wasn't the only problem facing Alabama. Alphonse Taylor struggled for much of the day, and Cam Robinson and Ross Pierschbacher both had moments they'd just as soon forget. Texas A&M curiously started out in its nickel look with its rush package in at defensive tackle before switching to a more conventional front. The fact the Aggies were able to cause problems for Alabama despite being just average overall up front does not bode well against opponents with strong defensive lines, but thankfully for Alabama, the Crimson Tide is not scheduled to see another above-average defensive line during the regular season.
3. Jake Coker's toughness was inspirational. Coker is not the best quarterback in the SEC, but he's tougher than a cedar stump. Coker is probably one of the biggest quarterbacks Alabama has ever had, and his physicality was on display Saturday when scrambling. Coker's willingness to lay a lick on presumptive tacklers inspired the rest of the offense, and while Tide coaches would probably prefer Coker not invite so much physical contact, it's hard to hold against him the desire and willingness to get his jersey dirty. Coker's long pass of the day went just 28 yards and Alabama didn't attack down the field much, but that was due more to the line's inability to keep the Aggie pass rushers off Coker than it was a concern over Coker's throwing ability.
4. Special teams try to give the game away again. This was a mixed bag, because the kickers themselves did a fine job Saturday. J.K. Scott was back to his old self, booming 50-plus yarders with regularity, and placekicker Adam Griffith not only hit his two field goal tries, he sent rockets through the end zone on kickoffs all day long. Everything else, though, was a disaster. Alabama gave up a touchdown on a punt return, and the Tide's own returner, Cyrus Jones, fumbled after a nice punt return of his own. Damien Harris misplayed a kickoff and ended up getting a 7-yard return out of the deal. Cole Mazza had at least two substandard snaps, one of which came on Scott's blocked punt. It would be predictable to say that at some point, special teams miscues will get Alabama beat – but it's already happened to an extent (Ole Miss).

5. Running game won the day on offense, but Derrick Henry needs help. Henry carried 32 times for 236 yards (7.4 avg.), which should be enough to give him sole possession of second place behind LSU's Leonard Fournette in regards to who wins the title of best SEC back. What Alabama doesn't have right now is a capable backup. Kenyan Drake has struggled between the tackles against better teams, Damien Harris doesn't appear ready yet and Bo Scarbrough is untested. If Henry were to get hurt down the stretch, Alabama wouldn't know what it has at the position. The Crimson Tide needs to develop some depth here, quickly.

Panetteria, the latest addition in the Balwa Group, launched its first ever digital campaign. The brand offers ready-to-bake frozen products in the Indian market. Panetteria aims to deliver quality, efficiency and taste to the consumer, which has been effectively conveyed via the #BakeItEasy campaign.
Our approach was to create content that is thumb-stopping, yet effective. The campaign aimed at establishing the brand's promise of convenience. The kitchen struggle is real when you don't know how to cook. Right from kneading dough to jostling with a mixer-grinder and slicing through onion-tears every time whenever you enter the kitchen. We chose four relatable situations which Indian women constantly face while cooking. Each of the advertisements begin on a serious note: "one out of every three women" - a setup that clearly gives the impression of a campaign for women's rights. That is, until it reveals the product with a quirky end. The campaign managed to capture a viewer's attention and hold it with a comical twist. Of course, if you're looking for a quick way out of these sweat and tear situations, the solution is to #BakeItEasy with Panetteria.

The Good Fight Against Malaria
Here are some of our chapter volunteers who helped out with our
movie presentation at The Paramount — Michelle Rodriguez, Kellen
Moore, Bansari Mehta, and Priya Desai (our chapter president).
Thanks to the generosity of the good people who attended our free movie screening on July 19th, we raised over $700 for Nothing But Nets. As a result, 70 bed nets will be sent to sub-Saharan Africa to help with malaria prevention efforts. We are so proud of the support of the friends and members of the Oklahoma City chapter of the United Nations Association of the USA.
If you attended the movie, you're aware that the best prevention for malaria is bed nets treated with insecticide. Someday in the future, if current research is successful, there will be a preventive vaccine for malaria. Currently, though, the best prevention is to avoid the mosquitoes that carry the Plasmodium parasite.
In 2010, according to the World Health Organization, there were 219 million documented cases of malaria in the world. That year, the disease killed between 660,000 and 1.2 million people — many of whom were children in Africa.
Malaria has a devastating effect on individual lives and entire communities. Because of this, the United Nations has made malaria prevention a global priority — as expressed in the UN Millennium Development Goals.
To make a donation to Nothing But Nets,
Here's the good news about the UN's efforts:
Thanks to increased funding, more children are sleeping under insecticide-treated bed nets in sub-Saharan Africa.
Between 2000 and 2012, the substantial expansion of malaria interventions led to a 42 per cent decline in malaria mortality rates globally.
In the decade since 2000, 3.3 million deaths from malaria were averted, and the lives of three million young children were saved.
Our $700 contribution to bed nets is designated for "Nothing But Nets" — a global grassroots campaign to raise awareness and funding to fight malaria.
Nothing But Nets works with UN partners like UNICEF, the UN Refugee Agency, and the World Health Organization to purchase nets and distribute them to countries in Africa. Net distributions are typically part of a wider public health effort within a country coordinated by the Ministry of Health, the UN and other local and international organizations.
Your Oklahoma City chapter of the United Nations Association supports American leadership in the United Nations. We are dedicated to educating, inspiring and mobilizing Americans to support the principles and vital work of the United Nations — including the good fight against malaria.

Our Movie on Saturday
We'll hope you'll join us on Saturday as we gather to
watch, learn, and inspire one another.
For a 3-minute 'featurette' describing the
movie, check out this link on YouTube.
Here's what people are saying about "Mary and Martha," our featured film on Saturday at The Paramount in Oklahoma City:
"A wonderfully done film…."
"The story line is strong and believable…."
"This story of mothers fighting for a cause is both inspiring and informing the audience on the real problems that face our current world."
"The film is so well put together, and really thumps you with a whirlwind of emotion and sympathy…. A must watch."
"A brilliant film…."
"Mary and Martha" stars Hilary Swank as Mary, an interior designer who loses her son to malaria. She meets Martha, a British housewife played by Brenda Blethyn. They forge a common bond in their fight to support malaria prevention efforts. Through their struggle, they rebuild their lives, showing how ordinary people can make a difference and inspire positive change in the process. Oscar-winning actor James Woods plays a supporting role as Mary's estranged father.
"Mary and Martha" earned good reviews when it was released in 2013 as an HBO film.
We're presenting this film as part of our observance of Nelson Mandela Day. It is a measure of our chapter's commitment to the values and principles of the United Nations Charter.
Saturday, July 19th — 3pm
701 W. Sheridan
Admission is free. Please come prepared to give a small donation to "Nothing But Nets," the malaria prevention campaign of the UN Foundation.
We hope to see you on Saturday!

"We are responding to these things," he said. "We do take our job very seriously. It's a tsunami of work, and we're trying to get through it as quickly as we can."
Roby's questions focused on new allegations that whistleblowers at the VA in Montgomery are experiencing retaliation for exposing problems involving patient care. The allegations were reported in Thursday's Montgomery Advertiser.
"I think without whistleblowers, government can't function correctly," John Daigh Jr., assistant inspector general at the Office of Healthcare Inspections, told Roby. "We're absolutely on the same page there."
Also Thursday, a House Veterans' Affairs subcommittee debated whether VA whistleblowers need additional legal protections against retaliation.
A bill by Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the full committee, would require whistleblowers' complaints about retaliation to be handled more formally and quickly, and would add stiff penalties for those who retaliate.
A second bill from Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., would centralize where whistleblower retaliation complaints are handled into a new Office of Whistleblower and Patient Protection. Kirkpatrick said the two proposals could be combined.
Miller said at the hearing that existing whistleblower laws are not enough. The federal agency that investigates retaliation against government whistleblowers is pursuing 120 investigations involving VA employees who say they were punished for alerting supervisors to problems affecting patient health and safety.
"Many VA supervisors found a way to really circumvent the law that is there to protect these individuals," Miller said at Thursday's hearing.
Whistleblowers in Phoenix were the first to reveal last year that veterans were waiting too long to see doctors and that VA employees were fraudulently concealing the long wait times. Since then, President Barack Obama and Veteran Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald have encouraged VA employees to disclose wrongdoing.
But a top VA official told the House Veterans' Affairs Committee the proposed legislation is duplicative and unnecessary.
"While we appreciate the committee's efforts to assist the department in these endeavors, we believe the specific whistleblower disclosure and protection procedures provided by this bill would be unworkable," Meghan Flanz, the VA's director of accountability review, told the committee during Thursday's hearing on Miller's bill.
Flanz said the VA already is working closely with the federal agency that investigates whistleblower retaliation, the Office of Special Counsel.
"VA is absolutely committed to ensuring fair treatment for those who bring these deficiencies to light," Flanz said.
She said the legislation may have negative consequences.
"The bill's strict notification requirements, short timelines and severe penalties may create an adversarial relationship between supervisors and subordinates that would likely hinder rather than foster sustainable accountability."
