We live in a country whose racial makeup grows to be more diverse every day, however, the nation's tech workforce does not reflect the diversity of the nation in the least bit. To dig deeper, the nation's health tech workforce is no better in terms of its diversity and inclusion of minorities. While other tech companies may be able to get by with a certain racial makeup, it's extremely necessary for the health tech industry to not follow this pattern mainly because of the diverse customers that these tech products are being made for: patients.
Health 2.0 rolled out the first Diversity in Health Tech Mentorship program, TECHquality, earlier this year. Right now, there is an open applications for Mentors and Mentees for the second round of the mentorship program. Mentees must self-identify as part of an underrepresented group of health tech. This can range from people of color, women, seniors, people with disabilities, LGBTQ, etc. Mentors are individuals who have expertise in health tech and are dedicated to increasing diversity and supporting inclusion in tech.
We believe that increasing the number of role models for minorities and creating opportunities for mentorship and job growth will help to alleviate the disparities that we see in the health tech industry today.
We don't want this to be just another diversity initiative that calls the lack of diversity and inclusion of minorities to light and fades away. What we really want is action. We hope for this initiative to push the needle forward and impact the health tech industry as it continues to grow and impact an array of patient lives. Diversity is reflected in the millions of patient lives we hope to change through health tech, so why don't our workplaces?
There are a few ways to get involved check them all out here.

What is the male / female breakdown among doctors / specialists?
I haven't had a male doctor in at least ten years ..
And what does diversity even mean?
Do Indian doctors not count?
Based on my informal research which has consisted primarily of wandering around during the break at Health 2.0 conferences, health tech's diversity numbers are way better than techs ..
You are saying that you want patients to get the benefit of providers who have different races. Why not different body mass indices? or types of personalities? or immigration statuses? or athleticism? or political ideas? or social classes? or medical training styles [e.g. allopathic vs osteopathic vs homeopathic] or IQs?
Surely these identities are just as fundamental classifiers as are the minuscule and few genes used to classify races…and would allow patients the full range of benefits from being exposed to true diversity, not just melanin and race diversity.

Q: Formating TclSOAP request for login to Sharepoint I got this example from Sharepoint 2010 _vti_bin/Authentication.asmx?op=Login documentation.
POST /_vti_bin/Authentication.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: webil.marvell.com
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">

      <username>string</username>
      <password>string</password>
    </Login>
  </soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>

How can I create the following Request to Sharepoint Server by TclSOAP?
Let say that Sharepoint server address is:
http://web.myintranet.com/

A: I suggest using TclWS.
With that it is easy to do that:
package require WS::Client
set sdef [WS::Client::GetAndParseWsdl http://web.myintranet.com/_vti_bin/Authentication.asmx]
set service [dict get $sdef name] ; # Usually "Authentication", but who knows?
set response [::WS::Client::DoCall $service Login [list username Administrator password s3cr3t]]

I can't test that because our Sharepoint Server requires even some authentification to get the WSDL, so I usually fall back to my own scripts to do the authentification.
I suggest that you take a look at the headers that are returned, esp. the WWW-Authenticate headers. If NTLM is in that list, I could provide a script that can do that.
To get the headers simply execute:
puts [http::meta [http::geturl http://web.myintranet.com/_vti_bin/Authentication.asmx]]

Edit:
To do NTLM Authentification I wrote a wrapper arround http::geturl that could also be used for other things, but NTLM was at that time important.
So in your case you need that script and initialize it:
package require SASL::NTLM
source http-sasl.tcl; # That script is what I wrote on the wiki.
rename ::http::geturl ::http::geturl_orig; # Replace ::http::geturl with my wrapper.
set ::http::SASL::geturl ::http::geturl_orig; # Tell my wrapper the name of the original ::http::geturl
interp alias {} ::http::geturl {} ::http::SASL::geturl
proc ::http::SASL::WWW-SASLCB {reqt ctx cmd args} {
    switch -exact -- $cmd {
        login {return ""}
        username {return "Administrator"}
        password {return "s3cr3t"}
        realm {return "YOURDOMAIN"}
        hostname {return [info hostname]}
        default {return -code error unexpected}
    }
}
# Now the stuff from above:
package require WS::Client
set sdef [WS::Client::GetAndParseWsdl http://web.myintranet.com/_vti_bin/Authentication.asmx]
set service [dict get $sdef name] ; # Usually "Authentication", but who knows?
set resposne [::WS::Client::DoCall $service Login [list username Administrator password s3cr3t]]

But the request fails with a Server was unable to process request. ---> Site is not configured for Claims Forms Authentication. error message.
But as far as I remember you don't need to call the webservice for login. Just access the protected resource. And if you can, pass -keepalive 1 to every http::geturl.

KB#00499-Problem with the ALL keyword and arrays in PRO/5 | BASIS International Ltd.
The behavior under PRO/5 is correct. Basically, PRO/5 cannot execute line 30 because it involves the ALL operator. BBx can make an assignment based on ALL (a[ALL]=b[ALL]), but it cannot use it in the condition as mentioned. This never actually worked in PROGRESSION/4 either. In PROGRESSION/4, it was treating the ALL keyword as a normal, non-reserved numeric variable. Therefore, unless your program assigned a value to the numeric variable 'all', the condition BB[ALL]<>AA[ALL] really was treated like BB<>AA.

Q: ¿Cómo renderizar un mapa con Open Layers 3? Quiero incluir un mapa con OpenLayers3 en un div de mi web.
La función que lo determina y crea es la siguente:
function traza_mapa() {
    var myVista = new ol.View({
        center: ol.proj.fromLonLat([-30,40],'EPSG:3857', 'EPSG:4326'),
        zoom: 4,
    });

    var map = new ol.Map({
        target: 'map',
        layers: [
            new ol.layer.Tile({
                source: new ol.source.OSM()
            }),
        ],
        view: myVista,
        controls: new ol.control.defaults({
            zoom: true,
            attribution: false,
        })
    });
    map.addControl(new ol.control.ZoomSlider());
};
traza_mapa();

Está al final de un script que realiza una serie de operaciones al pulsar un botón. Concretamente lee un archivo local y extrae una serie de datos del mismo.
Esta función se encuentra al final y quiero que dibuje el mapa dentro de un div id='map'
Entiendo que al finalizar con la sentencia traza_mapa() debería incluirlo en el div. No lo hace. Sin embargo si ejecuto traza_mapa() en la consola del navegador una vez cargado el archivo local si traza el mapa.
Creo que lo que necesito es que se autollame esta función al final del script pero no consigo ver cómo.
El codígo para la carga del archivo de texto es el siguiente
function handleFileSelect(evt) {
    var files = evt.target.files;
    var lectores = new Array();
    var output = [];
  for (var i = 0, f; f = files[i]; i++) {
    output.push('
', escape(f.name), ' (', f.type || 'n/a', ') - ',
                f.size, ' bytes, last modified: ',
                f.lastModifiedDate.toLocaleDateString(), '
');

    lectores[i] = new FileReader();

    lectores[i].onload = function(e) {

      resultados_texto = this.result;

    }

    lectores[i].readAsText(f);
  }
  document.getElementById('list').innerHTML = '
' + output.join('') + '
';
}

document.getElementById('files').addEventListener('change', handleFileSelect, false);

A: Pues este "Hello World" de OpenLayers me funciona bien.

var map = new ol.Map({
    layers: [
        new ol.layer.Tile({
            source: new ol.source.OSM()
        })
    ],
    renderer: "canvas",
    target: "map",
    view: new ol.View({
        center: [0, 0],
        zoom: 2
    })
});

map.addControl(new ol.control.ZoomSlider());
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://openlayers.org/en/v3.15.0/css/ol.css" type="text/css">

Y también este ejemplo usando un botón para cargar el mapa en el div:

function traza_mapa() {
    var map = new ol.Map({
        layers: [
            new ol.layer.Tile({
                source: new ol.source.OSM()
            })
        ],
        renderer: "canvas",
        target: "map",
        view: new ol.View({
            center: [0, 0],
            zoom: 2
        })
    });

    map.addControl(new ol.control.ZoomSlider());
}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://openlayers.org/en/v3.15.0/css/ol.css" type="text/css">

<button onclick="traza_mapa()">Mapa</button>

Ahora, si intento usando el ejemplo que has proporcionado:

function traza_mapa() {
    var myVista = new ol.View({
        center: ol.proj.fromLonLat([-30,40],'EPSG:3857', 'EPSG:4326'),
        zoom: 4,
    });
    var map = new ol.Map({
        target: "map",
        layers: [
            new ol.layer.Tile({
                source: new ol.source.OSM()
            })
        ],
        view: myVista,
        controls: new ol.control.defaults({
            zoom: true,

All That Glitters Is Not Goa! By EJ Proenca
Golden Goa! Pearl of the Orient! Jewel of the Arabian Sea!....So go the advertising slogans aimed at European tourists (those who cannot afford pricier Mediterranean resorts!). And such are the nostalgic memories of expatriate Goans (who cling to visions of the serene paradise they left a long time ago). But are they true? Or is it all hype? Is Goa still golden? Is it really a "susegade" oasis in the chaotic Indian desert? Or has the diamond of the Arabian Sea turned into a cubic zirconium? I decided to find out for myself. You guessed it....I made yet another trip to the homeland.
My discovery began at Dabolim airport's "new" arrival terminal -- a warehouse-like structure with gray cement floors, unfinished walls, harsh lighting, garish billboards, and a couple of carousels that shoot your bags right off the belt like giant catapults. I was amazed. I know this already worn-out monstrosity is new because it wasn't there last year! I'm guessing its designers-products, no doubt, of the 3-week-degree-by-mail school of engineering!- were responsible for the first Mandovi bridge!
The cab-ride from the airport was a lesson in urban development. Concrete apartment blocks, with grandiose names like Princessa de Mar and The Royal Residency, lie sandwiched between Joaquim's "balcao" and Anton's "cumao". Stately homes of the nouveaux-riche rub shoulders with Dharavi-style colonies of migrant labor. And in a manner befitting the deeply religious Goans, the disposal of sewage has been left to the gods. My amazement turns to disappointment. "Where," I ask the cabbie, "are those quaint Goan bungalows? The ones with the wooden verandas, French doors, and red-tile roofs?" "Torn down by real estate 'developers', sir" came the reply. "And the people who lived in them?" I asked. "Gone off to foreign lands" he responded with a knowing look. I squirmed a bit. That felt too close for comfort!
What I saw that first day turned out to be a sign of things to come. During the next three weeks I alternated between disbelief, sadness, frustration, anger, and disgust. Goa has changed and how! The laid-back land we know and love has metamorphosed from a beautiful butterfly into an ugly caterpillar. The kiss of economic development has turned the prince into a toad. Goa's self-serving elites have undone in a decade the beauty that nature took eons to create.
The more jarring changes have occurred in what used to be sleepy little villages along Goa's coastline. Fishing and farming have been replaced by tourism and the Goan soul appears to have been sold for a fistful of dollars (or is it pounds?) Village folk have traded their fishing boats for taxi-cabs, turned their homes into hotels, and their yards into antique shops. Goa's towns have fared no better. Their raffic congestion would make Los Angeles proud and their roads have more potholes than Swiss cheese.
But perhaps the most outrageous changes can be found at Goa's once-pristine beaches. The dazzling white sand that we played in as kids is now dirty and brown. Hundreds of plastic bottles (left by hordes of visiting "ghantis") litter the shore, and dogs and cows (yes, cows) frolic among the dunes. The cows even sit in groups on the beach, a sight so bizarre that you almost expect them to break into song or a game of poker! Is the sharing of our shores with the denizens of the animal kingdom an expression of the famed Goan hospitality? It may explain why mosquitos, traditionally a monsoon menace, have decided to stay for the rest of the year.
Goa has become quite the modern paradox. Cellular phone services are now available to a population that still suffers through several power outages a day. A million cars ply narrow two-way streets that haven't changed since the horse-and-buggy days of the Portuguese. A visit to the doctor will set you back 50 cents but expect to pay five dollars for a gallon of gas.
To answer my original question - it appears that the glitter of golden Goa is fading fast. The pearl is losing its luster. How could this have happened? Why have materialism and greed overrun ecological and social concerns? Have we learned nothing from the experiences of other tourist destinations? Topics for discussion no doubt (and perhaps for future columns in this newsletter). But you know what saddens me most? The fact that all of these changes have aroused little concern, outrage, or debate among the Goan people. Newspaper headlines decry political scams in far-away New Delhi. The party-going set debates the merits of the Cielo over the Maruti. And the common man worries that power may fail during the next Baywatch episode!
So much for Amchen Goem....

Do you agree that dogs are no less than members of a family to most dog owners? To be an indivisible part of our lives, dogs work on developing a special bond with us, the owners. That's why dogs' accessories and products are demanded in the market. Believe it or not, dog beds are considered to be one of the most demanded products because homeowners want to provide extra comfort to their pets and make them feel special.
 Heart shaped luxury beds.
 Wrought iron headboards and footboards.
 Bone shaped luxury beds.
 Tent and canopy beds and so on.
 You must make sure that the size is suitable for the dogs.
 You give the priority to beds that are suitable for sleeping style of the dogs (curl up or stretch, slouch or slant).
 You need to consider suitable support for body parts which is a primary responsibility because some dogs may suffer from joint and bone discomforts.
 Go for high durability and made of proof materials beds.
 Keep in mind that the dog's bed must fir with the décor of the rest of the house because if not, it will appear incompatible to visitors and guests.
 Colors that help to hide dogs drool and fur will be a good idea in case the dog's bed is in a well-known place in the house.
Do you know that it all depends on how much you spend and what style you want to get the best luxurious bed for your dog? A big, plush pillow will be a good choice as it makes them sleep happily. In case you have a small dog, you can go for a nice round bed which is ideal in my opinion.
On the other hand, the oblong beds are great for large dogs to ensure comfort. To make your dog sleep well especially outside, make sure that the bed is waterproof and durable to provide the needed protection to your dog.

La Leyenda de Son Goku es un manga escrito y dibujado por Osamu Tezuka, basado en la novela Viaje al Oeste; una de las cuatro obras clásicas de la literatura china. Fue publicado originalmente en la revista Manga King desde febrero de 1952 hasta marzo de 1959.

Argumento
En la región del este había un país llamado Gorai dominado por el altísimo monte Kaka. Un buen día, de repente, una enorme roca en la cima del monte Kaka se partió en dos, revelando la existencia de un huevo. El huevo de piedra se abrió y de su interior salió un mono dorado. La luz que desprendía era tan intensa, que los destellos llegaron hasta el cielo. Su brillo preocupaba a los dioses porque no podían soportar la idea de que algo en la Tierra pudiera ofuscar la luz de las estrellas del firmamento. Por un hecho fortuito termina convirtiéndose en el rey de los monos de la montaña. Luego de un extraño sueño decide realizar un viaje para convertirse en discípulo del mago de la montaña Reidai y así poder convertirse en humano. La sed de poder y el rechazo a cualquier tipo de autoridad lo lleva pronto a un conflicto directo con los dioses. Como castigo por haber desafiado al reino celestial, el santo Sakyamuni lo deja atrapado debajo de una montaña diciéndole que se quedara haciendo penitencia durante quinientos años. Cumplido este plazo, pasara un viajero camino a la India, quien lo guiara hacia la sabiduría. Gensho Sanzo, un monje budista, pasa por la prisión de Son Goku cuando se dirigía a la India en busca de las sagradas escrituras. Son Goku se ofrece a convertirse en su discípulo y acompañarlo en su viaje. En el camino se encontrarán con Tatsuko, la hija del rey dragón, Hakkai un cerdo glotón y el cambiante Sagojo, quienes se vuelven leales a Sanzo.

What Donald Trump Can Do to Help Stop Terrorism: Talk Less
By David Rohde
Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump turned to Twitter in the aftermath of the recent deadly terrorist attack in London.PHOTOGRAPH BY REX VIA AP
In the hours after the London terrorist attack, President Trump took to his favored platform, Twitter, to deliver a stream-of-consciousness response. He repeated his call for a "travel ban" on visitors from six predominantly Muslim countries. And he warned against political correctness. "If we don't get smart it will only get worse," he said. "Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now?" he added, in a puzzling non sequitur. "That's because they used knives and a truck."
For critics of Trump, his tweets betray a buffoonish approach to national security that will only make terrorism worse. His proposed travel restrictions will only aid recruitment for the Islamic State, they say. His demand, during a speech in Saudi Arabia, two weeks ago, for Muslim heads of state to do more ignores the reality that, since the September 11th attacks, vastly more Iraqi and Afghan soldiers and police than American service members have died battling extremists. And Trump's loosening of Pentagon rules surrounding the use of air strikes and commando raids against the Islamic State, Al Qaeda, and other terrorist groups will only lead to more civilian deaths, fuelling resentment and reprisals.
Yet several counterterrorism experts, including some who worked under President Obama, admitted to me, in private conversations recently, that new approaches to combat extremism are badly needed, and that Trump has a chance to take steps that could prove effective. The problem is that, just as in other policy areas, Trump threatens to undermine his own counterterrorism strategy with his bellicose mode of communication. "His rhetoric belies a fundamental lack of understanding of the greater nuances of the issue, and in particular the root causes that have allowed ISIS to prey on the vulnerable and disaffected in our communities," a former senior counterterrorism official told me on Sunday. "His immediate call for a ban on Muslims in the wake of the most recent attack and throughout his short time as President is arguably more likely to alienate Muslim Americans, and thus potentially inspire further acts of homegrown terrorism, than it is to prevent terrorists from entering the country and perpetrating terrorist acts."
Several former officials said that they generally supported Trump's cruise-missile strike on a Syrian airbase, in April, after U.S. intelligence officials said Syrian government forces carried out a chemical-weapons attack that killed scores of people, including children. The counterterrorism experts told me that the strikes showed American allies and adversaries alike that Trump would be more willing to use force than Obama, who critics said lost credibility, in 2013, when he failed to respond militarily to a chemical-weapons attack by the Syrian government that killed hundreds.
Trump also appears to be continuing to emphasize a core element of Obama's strategy, which is that countries in the region should lead the fight. The Trump Administration's recent hundred-and-ten-billion-dollar arms sale to Saudi Arabia is similar to one carried out under the Obama Administration, which worked to build up the military, intelligence, and police capabilities of allies in the region in a much less public way than Trump has thus far. Obama also embraced the use of covert drone strikes, intense vetting of visa applicants, and the stepped-up use of surveillance technologies, angering many on the left.
Trump has opportunities to make progress in areas where Obama struggled, such as developing consensus regarding new communications technologies, the officials said. Terrorists are increasingly using sophisticated encryption techniques to mask their communications, but Obama Administration officials were unable to reach an agreement with technology companies on ways to curb such uses that balanced privacy and public-safety concerns. Now Trump or his aides could try to quietly fashion some type of compromise.
Trump has yet to unveil a comprehensive strategy from his Administration to fight terrorism. As Dexter Filkins recently wrote, in a Profile of Defense Secretary James Mattis, some officials fear that Trump will bluster about terrorism in public but privately delegate strategy to the military. Some U.S. military commanders welcomed an end to what they viewed as micromanagement and risk aversion by the Obama White House, but they fear that the inexperienced Trump will become overly reliant on military force.
But where Trump has been most dangerous, former counterterrorism officials told me, is in his public statements, and the way he has publicly harangued allies—from Muslim leaders to NATO members—often while citing incorrect facts. Now, in the wake of three successful attacks in Britain in three months, the worry is that attacks will occur in the United States as well, and Trump will revert to a pattern of fearmongering. The President could convince Congress to enact new surveillance standards that erode civil liberties but fail to end attacks. Or Trump could publicly vilify Islam, a step that will alienate American Muslims and aid extremist recruiting efforts domestically and internationally. "You end up with the legislation that is bad for everybody," the former senior counterterrorism official told me. "Bad for counterterrorism and bad for civil liberties."
Counterterrorism is one area where Trump could take advantage of the bipartisan consensus that exists regarding some anti-terror policies, the officials whom I talked to said. But if the President's inability to communicate with discipline, accuracy, and nuance continues, he will only alienate allies and inflame enemies.

S arangani Province which has 233 kilometers of coastline, with some stretches of white sand beaches. One of these is in Gumasa, Glan located at the southernmost point of the province.
The area is blessed with over a kilometer stretch of powdery white sand beach coves whose natural beauty is comparable to that of the world-class beaches in Boracay, Bohl and Zamboanga.
Under Gumasa's pristine waters of changing hues of blue thrive rich coral reefs are home to a wide variety of tropic fishes and marine flora.

"The Story Behind the Scene"
9 April 1999 (Araw ng Kagitingan in the Philippines*)
We left General Santos City (located at the southernmost part of the Philippines) at about 8:45 AM.
At about 10:05 AM we reached the white sand beach. The travel wasn't really that long had we found the right place in time. But we almost got lost. We thought we're gonna reach the end point of southern Mindanao. We had mixed feelings of excitement, a pinch of fear and apprehension. Personally, I wasn't that bothered. But I worry about the kids (don't get me wrong, k? I ain't that old. But they're just a bit younger. :) who I felt were under my custody.
What if we'll run out of fuel? What if we got a flat tire? What if some strangers would stop us and grab all our stuffs? What are we gonna do? Other than scream, kick and shout? Yeah, I'm a black belt and Tae-kwon-do expert?! (I'm not really good at it) but for sure my magic stone can create miracles. But the thing was, I really can't keep that pinch of jitteries flying all over my head. We just noticed that the more we kept going on our way, it seems the ocean was going farther and farther. Oh alien, Lito (the "man of the hour" who never had a low-bat) can't resist the temptation of teasing Ching Ooopsss, sorry guys but I have to write this. Hey, I know it wasn't that easy. Afterall, LIFE is an ADVENTURE, right? That we were on!
We haven't made any plan for the activity. We just thought it would be great to spend sometime somewhere outside the city. The original idea was to go to Lake Sebu which is about an hour and forty-five minutes away from General Santos City. But every member of the Adventure Team (i.e. Lito, Ching, Roel and the Author, Roy was a PLUS!) seemed apprehensive. Fear that we might get stuck somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
Bingo! Till finally, we decided going to Gumasa beaches would be a better alternative.
Hey, if you wanna go there you don't have to sign a four-digit check. You don't even need a big sum of money to explore the island. What you need is just some packs of food stuff to munch on. A few bottles of mineral water to quench your thirst. Less than a hundred bucks will do so you can enjoy those fresh octopus and some other fresh sea creatures. Yummy!
Gumasa beaches is one of the most unspoiled tourist destination in Southern Philippines. Many foreign investors intend to put up a big amount in the area. Most neighbouring places are hoping the project would get started to help our sinking economy. However, some natives of the place cannot afford to give up on their strong sentiments for the area. The only treasure left them by their beloved ancestors.

If we trace back the history of caves, we'll discover that one of the first caves that came into existence was Carlsbad Caverns. It had its beginnings some 60,000,000 years ago, long before two-legged creatures walked on earth. As rains poured down and rivers flowed, the solid rock of the cave-to-be was slowly eaten away.
Based on what Dorothy Sterling wrote in one of her books, "The Story of Caves," a special kind of rock was found in Carlsbad, that was limestone. Limestone is a fairly soft rock, can be dissolved by a weak acid. The acid that dissolves away limestone comes from rainwater. Falling drops of rain pick up carbon dioxide from the air and from the soil. This CO2 changes the rainwater into carbonic acid. You must be familiar with this because that's what you get from sipping that soda drink. Anything carbonic for that matter. (The fizzy bubbles contain carbon dioxide.)
Over millions of years Carsbad Cavers, the most spectacular system of caverns in North America (established in 1930) took shape. As long as water filled its tunnels and flowed through its rock-walled rooms, it grew bigger and bigger.

Orwellian Discourse: "War is Peace" in Yemen
By Michael Horton
Global Research, April 12, 2015
In his essay entitled, "Politics and the English Language," George Orwell says, "political language…is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
Orwell, whose writings are more prescient with each passing year, would wince at the words of Saudi Arabia's Brigadier General Asiri, who, in a recent press conference, defended Saudi Arabia's unprovoked war in Yemen by saying, "all we are trying to do is to make sure that there is security in Yemen." Bombing an already desperately poor country's infrastructure, destroying its armed forces (the same armed forces that were equipped and trained to fight al-Qaeda by the US), air dropping weapons (now being sold in Yemen's arms markets), blockading Yemen's ports (Yemen imports 90% of its food), and hobbling an already struggling economy are hardly ways of ensuring security.
Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States, Adel A. al-Jubeir, has sought to justify the Kingdom's war in Yemen by arguing that Saudi Arabia—a country that is ruled by an autocratic king and a collection of princes—is fighting to protect the "elected and legitimate government of Yemen," the government of Abd Rabbuh Mansur al-Hadi.
Hadi, who fled Yemen for Saudi Arabia on 25 March, was "elected" in an election in February 2012 in which his name was the only one on the ballot. There is also the fact that Hadi's term as president expired in February 2014. According to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) brokered initiative, national elections, including the election of a new president, were to be held in 2014.
To sum it up: an autocracy with a deplorable human rights record (Saudi Arabia's Sharia courts routinely behead criminals and flog victims of gang rape as well as recalcitrant bloggers) and its partners—which includes the US—are endeavoring to reinstall an ineffectual exiled government of questionable legitimacy and ensure security in Yemen by bombing and starving it into submission.
Hadi and his exiled government are supporting the bombardment of their own country and calling on the Saudis and their allies to intensify air strikes and launch what will likely be a disastrous ground invasion. Of course, these calls for more bombs, more weapons, and more war are being made by men who fled Yemen aboard private jets and are comfortably ensconced in villas in Riyadh. They do not have to worry about being incinerated in their homes, finding food or water, or burying their dead. It is worth citing another quote from Orwell who wrote inHomage to Catalonia, ""all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting."
So what fruits is the Saudi led and US supported "Operation Decisive Storm" bearing? Security is not among them. An estimated 600 people, including at least 80 children, have been killed. According to UNICEF, a hundred thousand additional Yemenis have been displaced since the beginning of "Operation Decisive Storm." Food, medical supplies, and petrol are in short supply across the country and as yet, flights and convoys bringing aid are being blocked. Conditions in parts of southern Yemen are so bad that some Yemenis are fleeing by boat to relatively secure and stable Somaliland and Puntland.
Across southern Yemen, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) is on the offensive. AQAP has freed its members from various jails and has raised its flag over Mukalla, a city of nearly four hundred thousand and a major port with critical oil and gas handling facilities. However AQAP and other militant Islamist groups whose ideology differs little from the state sanctioned Wahhabism of Saudi Arabia, are seemingly not targets for those directing "Operation Decisive Storm." The primary targets of the aerial campaign, beyond critical infrastructure, food factories, and refugee camps, are the Houthis, a Zaidi Shi'a group that has had more success at fighting AQAP in the last six months than the US and its drones have had in the last decade.
AQAP was and, in some military circles, still is considered to be the most virulent of the al-Qaeda franchises. Mainstream US media has long trumpeted the idea that AQAP poses a clear and present danger to the US. Hundreds of millions of dollars of US tax payer money has been spent on the "war on terror" in Yemen. Yet rather than calling for a ceasefire and dialogue as the governments of China, Russia, and Iran have done, the US is supporting a war that will, beyond anything else, make sure that Yemen remains a failed state and fertile ground for AQAP and potentially the Islamic State.
It all makes sense in an Orwellian way.

VUMC infectious disease expert Dr. William Schaffner
Dr. William Schaffner Talks New COVID Variant, Flu Rates
'You can think of it as a son or daughter of Omicron,' says Schaffner of XBB.1.5
Hannah Herner
The new, extra-contagious COVID-19 variant XBB.1.5 is becoming the dominant strain in much of the country. In addition, the flu came hard and fast in Tennessee this winter.
Dr. William Schaffner, infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, sat down with Scene sister publication the Nashville Post to review what to watch out for.
What do we need to know about the newest COVID-19 variant, XBB.1.5?
You can think of it as a son or daughter of Omicron. It's one of the Omicron subvariants. Its most distinctive characteristic is that it is very, very contagious, and it seems to be out-competing the other variants across the United States at the present time. It appears not to cause more severe disease. That's very good. Our vaccines continue to be effective in preventing severe illness, illness that requires hospitalization. The recommendation continues to be very strong: Take advantage of this latest updated booster vaccine, which, of course, has not been as popular as those of us in public health would have liked.
The vaccine can protect you from severe sickness, but will people still be getting sick from this variant?
Yes, I'm afraid that's the case. It's one of those paradoxes that's actually kind of difficult for the average person to understand — that these vaccines provide really pretty good protection against severe disease, but cannot prevent mild infections very well at all.
That accounts for the fact that this variant is spreading fairly rapidly. Just on an anecdotal basis, I hear people are getting sick, but even though it is an illness that might put you in the bed for several days, give you a sore throat or runny nose, make you feel rather punk for a period of time, you're not obliged to be in the hospital. That's great. That means the vaccine is working.
What do you see as the future of COVID-19 variants?
It's difficult to predict, obviously, but the notion is that there will be other variants that crop up from time to time. What we hope is that there's not a new "variant of concern." That's actually a designation that would indicate that the variant either causes more severe disease or might evade the protection of our vaccines. So far, in recent months, we have not seen a new variant of concern crop up here or anyplace else around the world.
Just to make the distinction clear, the occurrence and the behavior of XBB.1.5 is a variant of interest, but not a variant of concern. So that distinction is being made.
While we're talking about infectious diseases, where are we with the flu?
The flu in late November and early December came early and it came very rigorously not only here, but around the country. We had a lot in Tennessee particularly. That seems to be now abating a little bit, but we all have our fingers crossed. We still have a lot of winter to go. There have been other flu seasons where the flu has continued at a lower level throughout the winter months so we'll have to wait and see what happens. Particularly, since we're now in the post-holiday period where an awful lot of people traveled and got together with relatives and had New Year's Eve parties and the like, we'll see if that stimulates more influenza going forward. But I have to tell you, I have gentle optimism that we're on the downslope with flu at the moment.
Is it too late to get a flu shot?
We say it's never too late. That's not to be facetious, because there's more than one strain of flu out there at the moment. So even if you've had some flu already, we would recommend that you get the vaccine because there's some people who are unlucky enough to get flu twice a season.

Grant's plans to march the army to Spotsylvania required Sheridan to retake Todd's Tavern from Fitz Lee. Sheridan assigned Major Generals Wesley Merritt's and David M. Gregg's divisions to the task. Merritt would advance south from Catharine Furnace to clear the Brock Road.
At the same time, General Gregg would leave his camp at the Alrich Farm and push west up the Catharpin Road. The two would meet at Todd's Tavern. Once the crossroads was in their hands, Gregg would continue west on the Catharpin Road and seize Corbin's Bridge over the Po River.

The Pull List Comic Reviews: 'X-Factor', 'Amazing Spider-Man', 'Green Lantern Corps' and More!
Welcome to another edition of The Pull List Comic Reviews! The latest mutant milestone issue gets top billing, Spidey winds up in the wrong sandbox and Guy Gardner sees a whole lot more than just red. As always, WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.
PULL OF THE WEEK:
X-Factor #200
Marvel Comics – $4.99 US
Writer: Peter David
Artists: Bing Cansino, Marco Santucci, Karl Moline
X-Factor Investigations makes the move from Detroit to New York in hopes of wrangling some new clients of the super-hero variety, but when their first client winds up being Franklin and Valeria Richards – the children to Reed and Sue Richards of the Fantastic Four – the team realizes that all is not what it seems.
Long-time X-Factor scribe Peter David continues to mix jaw-dropping plot bombs with great characterizations and intelligent humor in this over-sized anniversary special. The mystery of the missing Invisible Woman, on it's own, is a great story, but throw in Monet's father being abducted by terrorists, Siryn's shocking rendezvous with an old flame (hint: he's nuts) and Layla Miller's surprising allegiance to Latveria, and you've got one hell of a jump-on issue.
The art team of Bing Cansino and Marco Santucci do a great job of pacing this mammoth story, and their takes on the characters are both familiar and fresh. With a title that relies heavily on many speaking scenes, which should come as no surprise to current readers, their art is right on the money, but they also flex their proverbial muscle in the action scenes, especially where the Thing is involved.
The overall story was good enough to be the Pull of the Week, and yet there's much more to be enjoyed. A nice back-up story featuring Siryn and Reverend John Maddox, an X-Factor cover gallery, Official Marvel Index entries on the team members AND a first issue reprinting of the excellent Madrox mini-series from 2004?!? Nothing else stood a chance, this week.
OTHER PULLS:
Amazing Spider-Man #615
Artist: Javier Pulido
In order to help his friend Carlie Cooper, Peter tries to find out what three separate murders have in common, which leads him to suspect that Sandman's behind it all. Arriving at Governors Island, Spidey finds out rather quickly that Sandman's not alone, and he's got some new tricks up his sleeve as well.
Writer Fred Van Lente, in this follow-up to the first "Gauntlet" chapter, wastes little time in revving the engine and getting this story off to a flying start. What really stood out for me, however, was the conversation between J. Jonah Jameson and Robbie Robertson while looking on the ruins of what used to be the Daily Bugle. As good as it gets, in my opinion.
The art by Javier Pulido, which is very similar to Marcos Martin's style, was gorgeous, and yet not gorgeous. I love the lines, first and foremost. The layouts assist the story quite well. The characters tend to be more dynamic rather than appearing static in nature. Still, after all that, I'm not sure this is how I want a Spidey tale to look like. Potato, potAHto.
Cable #21
Writer: Duane Swierczynski
Artists: Humberto Ramos, Lan Medina, Paul Gulacy
Feeling that they've escaped Bishop and the Brood, Cable and Hope spend a couple of years in hypersleep before crashing back on Earth while Bishop continues to pursue them. An aged Hope finally unleashes a sample of her mutant power, but will it be enough?
This latest arc in the Cable/Hope saga as they try to return home, by Duane Swierczynski, shows that you can't keep an obsessed man down. Bishop, time and time again, has found a way to keep on his target's tail, and at this point I'm wondering when we'll see the endgame. Don't get me wrong; Swierczynski's writing is almost the only reason I continue to read this title. I'm just looking forward to the next, real chapter of Cable's adventures with, or without Hope.
This issue contained three distinct sections with three different artists, and wound up suffering a bit, as a result. Ramos, Medina and Gulacy are all solid artists in their own right, but thrown together with contrasting styles made this issue jerky. I wouldn't mind seeing a full issue from any of them, however.
Captain America: Reborn #5 (of 6)
Writer: Ed Brubaker
Artist: Bryan Hitch
Now that the Red Skull has taken over Steve Rogers' body, is the current Captain America, along with his trusty pals, too late? Not necessarily, as the Red Skull isn't the only person occupying Chéz Rogers. If that's not enough incentive, have you seen the Super-M.O.D.O.K. Squadron? Yeah, that's right, Super-M.O.D.O.K. Squadron.
The true wielder of the shield, writer Ed Brubaker, continues the story of how Steve Rogers came back in this penultimate issue of the mini-series. I say it in past tense since other various Marvel titles have already "conveniently" done that for you. Still, that's not Brubaker's fault, especially since this issue kept the intensity level cranked as we head to the conclusion. Here's hoping Brubaker has a lot more Captain America stories to tell after this is all said and done.
The art in this issue dropped a touch from the previous works by Bryan Hitch. I'm not sure if it was Hitch himself or Butch Guice's inking, but at times the art looked a little rushed. Rumors or confirmation – depending on whom you listen to – of delays may have attributed to this as well. Regardless, when the two artists are on their game, the work speaks for itself. Lastly, in case you haven't figured it out yet, I love the Super-M.O.D.O.K. Squadron.
Dark Avengers #12
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Mike Deodato Jr
The Molecule Man, aka Owen Reese, has just handed Norman Osborn, his Dark Avengers and H.A.M.M.E.R. their collective asses, so Deputy Victoria Hand decides to surrender on behalf of the United States of America. The real threat, however, is the Sentry himself…
This current arc involving the Molecule Man, by Brian Michael Bendis, is hitting all the right spots. I'm getting a tremendous amount of satisfaction seeing all of the Dark Avengers taken down a few notches, not to mention how Normie's unraveling is starting to reach a boiling point. But, just to yank the rug out, Bendis goes and makes the Sentry, arguably, one of the scariest beings in the Marvel Universe. Yikes.
Love him or hate him (nothing but love here), Mike Deodato Jr. sure can map out a story. I thought he did such a great job on this storytelling-wise that, in someone else's hands Bendis' story might not have been as good. I also thought the choices he made for splash pages and huge panels were bang on. Being a sucker for minimalistic covers, one look at his told me that the team was in some serious trouble. I'll stop gushing, now.
Dark Wolverine #81
Writers: Daniel Way, Marjorie Liu
Artist: Giuseppe Camuncoli
Karla and Daken – the Dark Avengers' Ms. Marvel and Wolverine, respectively – have a spot of tea and a nice, little chat. What starts out as Karla's desire to find out what makes Daken tick winds up being more than she bargained for, since it becomes abundantly clear that Daken cannot be trusted, at all.
This series, so far, has been a guilty pleasure of mine. I like how the Daken character is portrayed, and feel there's a ton of possibilities for the character after "Siege" ends. This particular issue, however, fell flat. It's unfortunate too, for writing team Way and Liu have done no wrong in my eyes to this point.
Giuseppe Camuncoli's art, which I'm usually a fan of, also lost a step here. It's possible that the almost non-existent use of action hurt the issue, but I keep going back to that close up of Daken's face when Karla figures out how nutty he is, and it's just not a great image. I get the feeling that the goal was to make him somewhat scary in that scene, but instead it was simply ugly. This was a sub-par issue for a creative team that has done some stellar work, unfortunately.
Forgetless #1 (of 5)
Image Comics – $3.50 US
Writer: Nick Spencer
Artists: Scott Forbes, Marley Zarcone
Here's what I know so far: there are these super-model assassins who shoplift, tweet a lot and don't like hot dog vendors or koalas. They do, however, want to go to a club called Forgetless, which also happens to be the destination of choice for three under-aged teens that sell a dog in order to afford fake ID's. Got it? Good.
Disclaimer: I haven't got the foggiest of what is going on here, but I can tell you that I like it. Writer Nick Spencer put together an issue that had me scratching my head – both times that I read it – and yet I can't wait for the next issue. It's crazy and quirky, and the central characters had just enough time in the spotlight that I got invested in them fairly easily.
The issue is split into two stories; one for the super-models and one for the teens, with completely different styles, and it works. This is my first exposure to both Scott Forbes and Marley Zarcone, and I've seen enough to know that if they keep this pace up, they'll have one excellent body of work on their hands once the mini-series is done. Try this issue out for something completely different.
Green Lantern Corps #43
DC Comics – $2.99 US
Writer: Peter J Tomasi
Artist: Patrick Gleason
Kyle Rayner has sacrificed himself to save the main battery on Oa, making for one incredibly pissed off Guy Gardner. Guy becomes so incensed that a ring of a different color comes recruiting, which he dons without hesitation. Too bad he's a bit premature in his rage, wink, wink. Oh yeah, almost forgot, Mojo enters the fray.
Peter J. Tomasi, you sneaky… Yes, bringing Kyle back so soon after his "death" would appear to cheapen it, but you more than made up for it with Guy Gardner spewing rage like no man's business as a Red Lantern. That, in itself, was worth the price of admission. While I'm sure there'll be some repercussions that Kyle will have to face down the road, in the meantime I can look forward to Mojo's arrival, and what, exactly, Mojo will do next issue.
Patrick Gleason rocked this issue, as he has been known to do for some time now. His depiction of Guy in all his rage-induced glory was a sight to behold. Admittedly, I figured we'd see this after the last issue's events, but my expectations on how that would look were blown away. If blood could ever be described as beautiful, then this is the work that warrants it.
Hulk #18
Writer: Jeph Loeb
Artist: Whilce Portacio
Doc Samson fans, rejoice! This Samson-centric issue is Samsonrific! Doctor Leonard Samson undergoes a psyche evaluation of his own, and the results could prove terrifying for the Hulks. Plural, as both green and red versions are about to find out that Samson's not playing Mr. Nice Guy anymore.
Jeph Loeb is one of the more polarizing creators in the comics industry, and while I usually side with those that like and appreciate his work, I'm on the other side for this issue, and series as a whole. Granted, there has been a lot of fun moments, like punching a Watcher for example, but this issue simply didn't need to be made. This story could have easily been included as a short in the recently released Fall Of The Hulks: Alpha one-shot.
The only reason this issue got a score as high as it did was Whilce Portacio's art. This has to be some of the best art he's done in quite some time. It's gorgeous in every way; especially amazing considering the story he had to work with. While I wouldn't recommend purchasing this issue to anyone, I would suggest checking out the art at the very least.
Writers: Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti
Artist: Amanda Conner
After a contraceptive bomb hits his city, Vartox of the planet Valeron sets his sights on a suitable mate to keep his people from dying out. Unfortunately for Power Girl, she's the prize that he keeps his eyes on. Making matters worse, in a bid to impress Pee Gee during the courtship, Vartox unleashes an indestructible beast on Earth.
For a good time, call dynamic writing duo Gray and Palmiotti, they've got what you need. Hilarious from start to finish, this issue – which is a new arc, so get on board if you haven't already – also has it's fair share of action and intrigue, and if you're like me, you'll fall in love with ridiculous characters like Chancellor Groovicus Mellow and the Blue Snowman.
Amanda Conner continues to be one of the better storytelling artists in the business today. She's also got a gift for the funny, and her action scenes are nothing to shake a stick at, either. Her character designs should also get some mention, as the costumes worn by Vartox and Mellow are so convincing that I feel like we've stumbled into some 70's porn. Fantastic.

If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury in an accident, it is important to know that you are not alone. Many people sustain brain injuries in car accidents, workplace accidents, and other serious accidents in Pennsylvania and throughout the United States every day. Negligence on the part of drivers, companies, property owners, and other parties typically cause these life-threatening and life-altering injuries.
At Robert Peirce & Associates, P.C., our Pittsburgh brain injury attorneys personally work with brain injury victims and their families to help them obtain the compensation and justice they need.
Our lawyers are dedicated to the service of our clients. From our initial consultation and case review until we reach a settlement or judgment on your behalf, your best interests are our first priority.
Reach out to our team to learn what we can do to help you.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have long-term effects that change people's lives significantly. Even a concussion or mild TBI can cause issues such as confusion, personality changes, headaches, sleep disorders, tinnitus and difficulty controlling emotions.
Moderate TBI victims typically suffer similar symptoms but with greater severity. In addition, people with moderate TBI may experience nausea and vomiting, trouble speaking, difficulty with physical coordination, and weakness in the extremities. They may also have seizures.
Severe TBI is the most dangerous type of brain injury. In these cases, TBI victims' symptoms are often so debilitating that they need 24-hour care. A severe TBI can cause periods of unconsciousness. A persistent vegetative state or coma is not uncommon in TBI patients. Death is also a possibility, either at the time the injury occurs or months or years later.
Mild, moderate and severe brain injuries can have lifelong effects on victims and their families. Many TBI victims cannot return to their occupations, and some may not be able to complete everyday tasks on their own. Others suffer from memory loss and significant personality changes, which can be devastating not only for the victim, but also for the victim's family and friends.
Regardless of the severity of the injury, it is possible that the victim will need a lifetime of expensive medical care. The victim's income and earning ability will likely be greatly reduced if not eliminated altogether. To cover the medical expenses and loss of income, TBI victims need considerable financial compensation.
Our Pittsburgh brain injury lawyers have the experience to help you and your loved ones through serious and minor brain injury cases. We understand your need for compensation, and we will fight to recover it from the negligent party.
How Do You Recognize a Brain Injury?
No matter how small you think the accident was, if brain damage is a possibility, you need to take action immediately. Minor brain injuries can turn into serious ones over time. Let our knowledgeable legal team work for you to make sure you get the medical treatment and recovery you need.
With contingency fee arrangements on all personal injury cases, you don't owe us attorneys fees until we reach a positive result for you. Find out more about how our Pittsburgh brain injury attorneys can help today!

Rethink Dance Film Festival (North Dakota) Best Documentary Short
"The way one's life is determined by living in a black body, a female body, a gay body in the particular place where one happens to be born is unforgettably expressed by these dancers and their dance. It brings to mind a stanza from Yeats' "Among Schoolchildren" the last words of which are well-known — 'How can we know the dancer from the dance?' Knowing the dancers, as your work allows us to do, brings meaning to their movements that would otherwise be inaccessible especially to those of us who do not know the contexts of their lives. The beauty of their dances transcends despair." Stephen Most, author of Stories Make the World
"What a great film! Such a fascinating look into contemporary dance in a non-western culture!" Rachel Johnson, Executive & Artistic Director of The Bell House
"I have hardly ever seen a portrayal of such an interesting contemporary dance scene, which has thorough roots in street dance at the same time." Robert Riede, Red Bull Media House

Cincinnati African & Asian Diaspora Film Festival
The National Arts Festival is held annually in Grahamstown, South Africa. This is an extraordinary event featuring new work in dance, theatre, music and more. During the festival I was in residence as a Fulbright Specialist at Rhodes University in Grahamstown. This gave me the opportunity to interview internationally known South African choreographers including Gregory Maqoma and Jay Pather. And this allowed me to create dancedance/RE⬥VOLUTION, a half hour documentary. The film is intended to serve as an introduction to the vibrant diversity of contemporary dance in South Africa. Rooted in both tradition and the idioms of modern movement, the film introduces audiences to work ranging from site-specific solos to multi-media physical theater
dancedance/RE⬥VOLUTION includes examples of early work by Gregory Maqoma and Jay Pather as well as introducing emerging choreographers including:
Lorin Sookool and Julia Wilson
Athena Mazarakis
Kamogelo Molobye
Gregory Maqoma and Jay Pather both share very personal stories about their identify as gay men. Each of these choreographers created early solo work that is a performance of gay identity. As a filmmaker, I chose to multiply their images in the work. This is to suggest the complications inherent in revealing and embracing homosexuality in a country and culture that remains disturbingly homophobic.
Most of these younger choreographers are members of the "born free generation." They have come to adulthood after Mandela and the end of apartheid. But the struggle for freedom in South Africa is on going. Their work is created at the intersection of race, feminism and gay identity in today's South Africa. As author Steven Most (Stories Make the World), paraphrasing Athena Mazarakis's interview, says: "The way one's life is determined by living in a black body, a female body, a gay body in the particular place where one happens to be born is unforgettably expressed by these dancers and their dance."
Each of these choreographers performs in the works excerpted here. They have chosen distinct formal approaches to making politically informed dance, based on their lived experiences.
Lorin Sookool describes herself this way in an untitled verse:
i am one and i am many
intention set
resilience pronounced
we are young sprung ready
petals wet
timidity denounced
Julia Wilson is a member of Flatfoot Dance Company. Working closely with director Lliane Loots, Julia told me that she had learned that " art is political." Working with, Lorin, Julia shared and explored their personal experiences of sexual harassment.
Too often women are too intimidated or shamed, or just too shocked to respond in the moment to the frequent catcalls, "man-spreading" and worse that they are subjected to in public spaces. Dorothy Parker has said that, "Living well is the best revenge." Lorin and Julia have taken their art to the street, reclaiming public space and asserting their right to live well, free of sexual harassment. A site-specific performance allows the choreographers to embody their response in an environment where risk and assaults are real, even if they are not always obvious to passersby. The work exists both in the temporal space where it was performed, but also in the mediasphere. The work is performed for camera. This screendance transforms and transcends the limitations of time and space, using the power of film to frame and edit the dance in a way that heightens the impact of the performance.
Athena Mazarakis, trained in mime and physical theatre, is a choreographer who is well known for including video projections in her work. When video first became incorporated in live performance it was often used as a simple background, which could provide context. This can be useful, but it many ways it is the simplest case, overlooking the power and immediacy available even in a mediated environment. In Standing By Athena begins with a menacing projected image, which looms over and threatens her. She goes on to more fully explore the possibilities of projection. Lying down on a projection of her naked body, she is surrounded by plastic figures of armed men. As the piece explores the vulnerability of South African lesbians to "corrective rape," (Carter (2013) the work combines symbolic imagery with the person of the dancer/choreographer herself at risk. "… when she started her research, she thought she wouldn't be able to carry on, so dreadful and horrific are the tales but it is through her art that she can be an activist. She is emotionally exhausted at the end; a small, lonesome figure who has done battle and struggled and put her art on the line. She is voicing what many of us acknowledge but are too scared or too busy or too comfortable to engage with" (Ballantyne, 2012).
Kamogelo Molobye was a graduate student at Rhodes University when I first met him. As a scholar and choreographer he was extremely generous, introducing me to the world of South African contemporary dance. Kamogelo has consistently explored multiple meaning of masculinity. This work was made possible by Kamogelo's willingness to situate his personal experience within a larger context. Writing about his "coming out" experience, he understands it within both personal and intellectual contexts. "As queer bodies we need to re-construct new models, practices, and modes of identity naming and acceptance – if need be – that stays away from acceptance from heteronormativity as a point of departure" (Molobye, 2017)
Kamogelo created Lipstick with Jeannette Ginslov, who describes herself as a "specialist in dance on screen." Provocatively he brings his performance in lipstick and tutu to the Grahamstown cathedral, an Anglican church built for British colonists in 1830. His recent work continuing to explore masculinities was highlighted in an African Voices segment on CNN (CNN, 2017).
South African contemporary dance lives within the social and political realities of daily life in a country still engaged with its burden of history, a legacy of impunity and corruption and devastating economic inequality. South African artists are responding to these challenges with work that is distinctly "South African," not only in subject matter, but also in form. These artists are creating work that combines an understanding of traditional forms of expression, with an awareness of practices and techniques that are at home on the international stage. As Adrienne Sichel, South African journalist and author told me, South African contemporary dance has an international reputation "for being very adventurous, and confrontational and theatrically innovative."

It was Paul McCartney - Spies like us. I know, but it was 79p. I went into town and bought it from a Newsagent. It wasn't until I got home I realised it was a record from an old jukebox, that had the middle of the record missing!

ANCHORAGE (KTUU) - The UAA men's basketball team turned some heads Wednesday making a late signing just before their season tipped off.
"We usually don't do signings this late into October, but we were really searching for a special individual," said Coach Osborne.
Who's that special individual you might ask? Five-year-old James Ludwig from Eagle River, who's been diagnosed with epilepsy, which impacts his day-to-day life.
Head Coach Rusty Osborne said the team recruited him for his grit and determination. For the next two years, he'll join the team for practices, games, and dinners -- serving as an inspiration.
It's something Michelle Ludwig, James' Mother, says means a lot to their family.
Ludwig's signing was a part of a nonprofit called Team IMPACT which pairs kids with serious illnesses with college athletic teams across the country.


Thousands of MBAs finished their first year of business school in this past spring and went off into the workforce to start their summer internships. Some of them went into consulting. Others into banking and finance. And another group went to marketing, operations, general management and a variety of other positions. But no matter which industry people went into, most of them do have one thing in common. At the end of the summer, you have to make a final presentation to some level of managers regarding the work you did for the summer.
If anecdotal evidence isn't good enough for you, then I'd suggest taking a look at Facebook immediately. See what all your MBA friends are saying about work. I did just that this morning and saw a pretty wide variety of messages.
So why so many responses to such a simple message? That's a good question. It's because most MBAs, especially those at top schools undergo the exact same experience. They have to present what they worked on at the end of the summer. And those final two weeks can be pretty difficult, depending on the employer, industry, and manager you are working with because in a lot of cases not only are the expectations high but the pressure people put on themselves is also high.
During that time, students often work harder to tie up loose ends. Put in more time to fine tune all the details. And spend more time prepping to deliver a compelling presentation to senior management. All with one goal in mind – to get an offer.
In addition to getting an offer, many students also hope to refine their presentation skills, prove they can add value to an employer (even in two months), and even just make a good impression. After all, you never know if you'll run into some of your summer co-workers again.
Either way, no matter what the reason is, if you just finished your first year of business school and find yourself with an MBA summer job, there's a pretty big chance you'll be doing exactly the same thing.
In sum, for those that just finished their presentations in the last week; congratulations. For those finishing up this week; best of luck wrapping up. And for those entering school now waiting until summer 2012 for their summer internship experience; get ready. Your time will come next sumer.
