Micronauts: A Mini-Retrospective
Part 3: They Came from Inner Space
by Ben Smith
Click here for part 1.
If you haven't been keeping up at this point, then you're just way behind. Don't worry, we'll wait for you to catch up.
Good? All right, let's continue. I have been covering the action-packed, epic opening storyline to the forgotten classic comic book series, THE MICRONAUTS. As we learned in the first two parts, the heroic Micronauts struggle to free the Microverse from the evil Baron Karza. Bill Mantlo is on writing duties, while Michael Golden and his various inkers provide wonderful action-packed artwork. Last time, our heroes finished their time on Earth, and brought the battle back to the Microverse itself. Through the separate efforts of Acroyear and his people, and Argon and his rebellion, Baron Karza's forces have been decimated. Unfortunately, Bug has fallen in battle, and Commander Rann and Marionette have been captured by Karza. So close and yet so far from ending Karza's rule, will the heroes be able to succeed and save the Microverse? Read on, true believers!
#11. Baron Karza returns to Homeworld to find it in flames. Force Commander and his rebel forces have beaten Karza's forces and retaken control of their city. The Shadow Priests reveal their allegiance with the rebellion.
Baron Karza reveals that everything that has happened has gone all according to plan, and he readies himself for battle.
Force Commander and Baron Karza clash...
…with Force Commander losing yet again.
The Shadow Priests make their final play, revealing themselves as the Enigma Force.
The Enigma Force revealed as Commander Rann's life force born again and again during his thousand year journey across the Microverse.
Commander Rann, powered by the Enigma Force, and Baron Karza battle for the final fate of the galaxy.
"We are the light you sought to banish to eternal darkness."
Recognizing he cannot win, Baron Karza prepares his final gambit, a mindshock that will destroy them all.
But his mindshock only succeeds in destroying himself.
The Acroyears arrive to finish off Karza's remaining forces, and end the war.
His mission completed, the Enigma Force leaves Commander Arcturus Rann.
Finally "there will be peace at last."
My brain thoughts: An action-packed finale to this opening storyline, which sees the Micronauts broken but triumphant, and Baron Karza defeated. They dropped hints along the way, but the Enigma Force was finally revealed to have come from Commander Rann himself. It's only a shame that this issue wasn't longer. This final panel is especially poignant to me.
#12. It's all over but the clean-up. Commander Rann and the rebels celebrate their victory.
Rann is informed for the first time of Bug's death during the final battles. Acroyear announces that he must return to Spartak, to help rebuild his home and his people.
Back on Spartak, the judgement of Shaitan begins. Acroyear lays down the history of his people, and the charges against his brother.
Shaitan makes his final move, challenging Acroyear to a blood feud, which Acroyear accepts.
Meeting on the shattered plains, the brothers battle each other to the death. Acroyear pleads with his brother to yield, causing Shaitan to mock the emotions his brother has developed in his time with the Micronauts.
Eventually, Acroyear accidentally wins the bout in the most decisive way possible.
The issue ends with a glimmer of hope, as it appears that Bug is alive.
My brain thoughts: I've always been a sucker for a good family duel. Whether it be brother against brother, sister against brother, father against son, it doesn't matter. It always hits me right here in the chest area. Plus, Bug is alive!
#13. Bug is alive and miraculously finds himself back on his home planet of Kaliklak.
Running into an old friend, he is updated on the current status of his old crew of thieves. Seeking to rectify the wrongs that have happened, Bug returns to the Robber's Roost where his old comrades hide out.
Finding his friends under the rule of the evil Wartstaff, who also happens to be Bug's estranged father, Bug battles to re-take control of the group.
Aided by his former love Jasmine, Bug takes down Wartstaff's supporters…
…and then Wartstaff himself.
His place at the head of his crew re-established, Bug intends to move on to his next goal, to take out Karza's colonial leadership there on his home planet.
My brain thoughts: Howard Chaykin takes over for Golden as penciller with this issue. While not as impressive as Golden's pages, Chaykin does a more than capable on the artwork in this issue. It's nice to see Bug back in action, but I think he works best as a supporting character playing off of others.
#14. Bug and his crew attack the Colonial Air Terminus, seeking to take control of the aircraft there. Their mission successful, they make their way to the Central Nest. On Homeworld, Commander Rann and the remaining members of the Micronauts prepare to leave, preferring adventure to adoration.
While on Spartak, Acroyear comes to a similar decision.
Bug and Jasmine fight their way to the Colonial Governor himself…
…when Bug gets his revenge.
The remaining soldiers pledge no loyalty to the fallen Governor, informing Bug of Karza's fall back on Homeworld. Acroyear and Cilicia rendezvous with Rann and the Endeavor.
All that remains is for Bug to reunite with the team.
My brain thoughts: This was the "band getting back together" issue. Tying up some loose ends back on their home worlds, the team is now prepared to reunite for more adventures throughout Earth and the Microverse. The additions of Cilicia and Jasmine to the team are welcome.
My final brain thoughts: There you have it. A hidden gem you may not have ever read or even known about before. If the pages and recaps I gave you here interest you at all, then I suggest you try and find any back issues of the series that you can. At the very least, they should be cheap. Bill Mantlo and Michael Golden were at their very best on these issues, and that's saying a lot for those two. Baron Karza was a legitimate threat and an engaging villain. Acroyear and Bug were fun characters that still continue to be favorites of mine to this day.
The original Micronauts series would go on to run for 59 issues and 2 annuals, before being re-launched in a second volume as The New Voyages for another 20 issues. There was also a four issue mini-series crossing over the Micronauts with the X-Men. (This is probably where I became aware of the book originally). Team members would come and go, and Baron Karza would (Spoiler Alert!) eventually make his malevolent return, and much joy was had for all.
Marvel still has the rights to the characters they created without any inspiration whatsoever from the toy line, and, just like with Rom, they have begun to creep back in to stories as of late.
Bug got this fun little one-shot all to himself in 1997. I love covers that use classic comic book covers as their backdrop, and that is no different here.
Bug next appeared alongside Commander Rann and Marionette for a couple issues during the fourth volume of Captain Marvel.
Image Comics and then Devil's Due tried separate attempts to relaunch The Micronauts series, but with some of the best characters still owned by Marvel, the magic or the interest just wasn't there.
Commander Rann and Marionette next appeared in the Incredible Hulks: Enigma Force mini-series in 2010.
Bug received his biggest revival as part of the Annihilation: Conquest mini-series event.
Following that, he was eventually inducted into the follow-up series Guardians of the Galaxy, where he clawed his way back into my heart after so many years away. (Seriously, read Guardians of the Galaxy already).
Like always, I hope to have inspired at least one person to go and check out this series for themselves. At the very least, you were able to enjoy the story through my caveman words and subpar scanning abilities. I encourage you to consider adopting a poor homeless Micronaut comic into your collection. Your home and the world will be a better place for it.
That's it for this time, but I'll be back to bother you again. Like a groin injury you just can't get rid of. Like a greasy stain on your favorite shirt. Like the ghost of that stripper you killed that won't leave you alone. I'll be there…always.

too say that Chaykin's work on The Micronauts was not as impressive as Golden's is quite an understatement but this was an all around good round up review. and i do agree with you that Bug works better as a supporting character then then he does as being the featured one. that Bug one shot was a good example of that. one of the many things that marvel has done that always pissed me off was not to ever give ass a reason how Bug became part of the Cosmic Marvel Universe as a normal sized character. we all know that marvel was trying to capitalize on this character they owned but it seems they didn't even bother to come up with any sort of plausible reasoning for how he came to be a normal sized character in a Kree prison from his years of being a Microverse inhabitant. here's a holiday greeting card from ROM and The MIcronauts for ya http://csuhsux.deviantart.com/art/Happy-Holidays-from-ROM-and-The-Micronauts-498939716

Just a heads up about the latest event organized by Ty Bolliger and featuring numerous authorities on cancer and health in general.
The Truth About Cancer first live Symposium is taking place from 14th October to 16th October 2016. There will be input from all sorts of experts about cancer and in particular about preventing and curing the disease by natural means.
The event features over 40 of today's most popular and in-demand health luminaries… including Dr. Joe Mercola, Mike Adams, Dr. Josh Axe, Ocean Robbins, Chris Wark, Sayer Ji, Dr. Eric Zielinski and many others!
Just to refresh your memory, Ty started to look into the disease after not one but seven members of his family died from the disease and its conventional treatments.
He has made it his mission to inform everybody about natural ways of preventing and treating the disease and the dangers of the traditional approach to dealing with cancer – namely, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.
He has made a series of remarkable documentaries about these issues.
P.S. The links above are affiliate links.
The BBC continues to do its stuff.
Fortunately, they conclude that the answer is yes.
Turmeric (circumin) has received a lot of press in recent years as a cure against cancer and other diseases.
Hope the article is useful.
If the title of this post sounds like an oxymoron (compressed paradox), then the food industry has succeeded in brain-washing you.
If you avoid butter like the plague and always go for low fat or 0% products, you're in for a surprise.
Have a great Pentecost weekend.

Chargers vs Chiefs live & how to watch the NFL
By Philip A. Kirkpatrick on	 September 25, 2021 Canadian TV
2018 MVP Patrick Mahomes faces off against baby MVP, Rookie of the Year in Justin Herbert, with the two teams clashing after an excruciatingly close pair of losses last weekend. Make sure you know how to watch a live broadcast of the Los Angeles Chargers vs the Kansas City Chiefs from anywhere in the world. You can even watch for free in some places!
Herbert made his NFL debut against the Chiefs almost exactly a year ago and almost pulled off what would have been one of the shocks of the season. KC needed an overtime field goal to win a thriller.
Canadian NFL fans can stream Chargers vs Chiefs for free on DAZN with this 30-day free trial. It is also available for free on Kayo Sports with a 14-day free trial for Australians. Canadians and Australians are trying to connecting from abroad will have to use a VPN to access streams.
If it hadn't been for superstar caller Mahomes and his star-studded attack, the Chiefs could easily be 0-2. Only three teams gave up more points than the 65 Andy Reid's men gave up. Keep it up and there is surely no chance they can get the Vince Lombardi Trophy back.
Even the best efforts of tight end Travis Kelce and wide receiver Tyreek Hill weren't enough to get the Chiefs to beat a Ravens unit to the rope, but what makes matters worse is that they had an 11-point lead until the third quarter.
The Bolts, meanwhile, are set to go 2-0 instead of 1-1, after a terrible late appeal that denied them a winning touchdown shot against the Cowboys. However, head coach Brandon Staley needs to beef up his running defense, which allowed Dallas for 198 rushing yards and two touchdowns, and could suffer at the hands of Kansas running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
It's kicks off at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT / 6 p.m. BST at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. Read on for more details on how to watch a live broadcast of the Los Angeles Chargers vs the Kansas City Chiefs from anywhere in the world.
Watch a live stream of the Chargers vs. the Chiefs for free
(Image credit: DAZN)
NFL fans in Canada can watch every game this season – including the Los Angeles Chargers vs. the Kansas City Chiefs – live on DAZN.
A subscription to the streaming service costs CA $ 20 per month or CA $ 150 per year. Better yet, DAZN Canada offers a 30 day free trial, so you can watch for free.
DAZN's free trial is only available in Canada, so be sure to use a VPN if you are stuck abroad. We recommend ExpressVPNbecause it's reliable and comes with a 30-day risk-free money back guarantee.

A virtual private network (VPN) helps you bypass this obstacle. VPNs are a snap to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All information in transit is fully encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, some more reliable and more secure than others. As a rule of thumb, we suggest a paid service like ExpressVPN which offers a 100% risk-free money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the service at any time during the first 30 days, you can cancel without any penalty.

2. Open the VPN app and choose the location the service you want to access. For the NFL, you can choose "Canada" to access DAZN.

Watch a live stream of the Los Angeles Chargers vs the Kansas City Chiefs in the United States

You can also watch the game on CBS Paramount Plus's live streaming service, which offers a 7-day free trial and costs $ 4.99 per month thereafter.
The problem is, NFL fans in the United States are spoiled for choice when it comes to live gaming, with rights spread across NBC, Fox, CBS, ESPN, NFL Network, NFL Redzone, and Amazon Prime. Video.
FuboTV is the best streaming service available for NFL fans. At $65 a month it isn't cheap but you do get access to almost every premium channel you can think of, including a huge amount of live sports.
Sling TV is generally another good option for NFL fans, but not for this game as it doesn't offer CBS.
Instead, the Sling's Blue package gets you NBC, Fox, and NFL Network, while Orange covers ESPN. If you're willing to go either way, you can get your first month for just $ 10 (instead of the usual $ 35 per month).
Better yet, spend $ 50 per month on the Blue + Orange combo plan, which covers almost all 270+ games (again, not CBS's). For what you get though, it's an absolute bargain.
Finally, Amazon Prime Video has the rights to stream 15 Thursday Night Football games in 2021/22. New users get a 30-day free trial, $ 13 per month thereafter, and you can cancel at any time.

Jon Gruden's Track Record Suggests He's An Average Head Coach
Jon Gruden appears set to return to the Oakland Raiders as the team's head coach according to numerous reports. While nothing is official, most seem to think the move is imminent.
While Gruden has been arguably the hottest free agent coach on the market for the better part of a decade, I've always wondered why that was the case. For some reason, countless observers seem to regard him as an all-time great coach who retired too soon. Given all the evidence about his coaching tenure, that couldn't be further from the truth.
During his time as an ESPN analyst, Gruden has clearly shown a deep knowledge of football. He knows the game and seems to love it. But that doesn't exactly separate him from any other coaches out there. During his time as a broadcaster, people have forgotten that he was never really much more than an average head coach.
Gruden's career regular season record in 11 seasons is 95-81, with a 5-4 mark in the postseason. He went 38-26 with the Raiders (2-2 in the playoffs), and 57-55 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2 in the playoffs). After winning Super Bowl XXXVII with the Bucs in his first year with the franchise, Gruden's teams were a colossal disappointment over the next six seasons. He went 12-4 in his first year and won three playoff games. After that his Bucs teams went 43-51 and 0-2 in the postseason. And those teams had a ton of talent.
Gruden's career winning percentage of .540 suggests he's an average football coach. Guys like Chuck Pagano (.552) Dennis Green (.546), Jim Mora (.541), Brian Billick (.556), Jim Caldwell (.554), Wade Phillips (.562), Ron Rivera (.576) and Mike Smith (.589) all have better marks than him. None of those guys is knocking down the doors of the Hall of Fame as a head coach.
Heck, pretty much everyone agrees Marvin Lewis should have been fired by the Cincinnati Bengals years ago and his career winning percentage (.534) was on par with Gruden's entering this season, and is still within shouting distance even after it (.527).
Gruden's defenders will point out his Super Bowl win as evidence of his elite coaching skills. The narrative behind that story goes that Tony Dungy was a solid coach who got Tampa's defense to an elite level, but the offense was terrible. So the Bucs brought in Gruden, he turned the offense around and they won a Super Bowl. But that story is nothing but fiction.
Yes, Tampa's defense was elite and it stayed elite, but the team's offense actually regressed when Gruden took over.
This Twitter thread from Adam Harstad explains it succinctly. And yes, the numbers check out:
The truth is that Gruden didn't upgrade the offense. The 2002 Bucs outscored the 2001 Bucs by 22 points. 14 of those extra points came from D/ST touchdowns.
— Adam Harstad (@AdamHarstad) January 1, 2018
2001 Bucs averaged 26.6 yards per drive.
2001 Bucs averaged 1.62 points per drive.
2001 Bucs turned it over on 10.5% of drives.
Maybe the improvement was only captured by advanced stats?
2001 Bucs had 2.9% offensive DVOA, which ranked 13th.
2002 Bucs had -3.8% offensive DVOA, which ranked 20th.
The narrative is wrong. The reason the 2002 Bucs dominated is because their defense turned in one of the top-5 performances in modern NFL history. Full stop.
That defense was drafted and designed by Tony Dungy and Monte Kiffin, one of the best DCs of all time and a guy Gruden pretty much left in charge to do his thing.
That defense featured four likely Hall of Famers in their primes, (Sapp, Brooks, Barber, Lynch), plus one of the top-20 pass rushers in NFL history in Simeon Rice. All 30 or younger. All brought in under Dungy.
Not only did Gruden not improve Tampa's offense in 2002, he didn't improve it ever. The Buccaneers never ranked higher than the 2002 unit's 18th place finish in points scored under his stewardship. (That 18th-place finish was aided by 6 D/ST TDs.)
Those points are hard to argue, especially considering Gruden wound up facing his former Raiders team in the Super Bowl, and he knew the opposing personnel, offensive and defensive schemes intimately.
It's also worth noting that Gruden's offense is insanely complicated, which may not fit with today's players. The simplification of college offenses has begun to bleed into the NFL, which could make for a difficult adjustment, considering he hasn't coached in the NFL since 2008.
Gruden was never known as a "players' coach" and even had regular spats with his top guys. That kind of combativeness only works in the NFL when you're winning. Start losing and it spells disaster.
Now, does this mean Gruden can't be successful? Of course not. A lot can change in a decade, maybe he's a different coach now that he was then. But there is zero evidence to support the narrative that he is the top coaching candidate available. There's also no reason to believe he should get a massive salary and an ownership stake from his new team.

In 1969, CKGO Hope (B.C.) signed on for the first time, with 250 watts on 1490 KHz. There were two hours of local programming per day, with the remainder simulcasting of CHWK Chilliwack.
In 1978, the first step towards CHUM ownership of the original City-TV (Toronto) was approved by the CRTC. The station had signed on September 28, 1972, becoming Canada's first commercial UHF station. But with only 31,000 watts on Channel 79 -- a channel position chosen to prevent the loss of the top of the UHF band to CB radio in Canada, as was planned in the U.S. The CRTC instructed cable companies to carry CITY on cable channel 7, helping ensure its success.
In 1986, the last available VHF TV channel in Winnipeg was assigned to CKX owner, the Stuart Craig family. CHMI-TV came on the air October 17th on Channel 13 with 287,000 watts. After being purchased by CHUM in 2004, it became A Channel and later City-TV.
In 1995, CIFX Winnipeg switched format from light rock to "mostly talk". The station began its life as CJQM on November 1, 1963, using what was rumoured to be Bellingham-based International Good Music's (IGM) Serial #000000005 automation machine. The machine ran tapes of music and voice-tracks produced by CHQM in Vancouver, in an attempt to clone CHQM's success. Failure came quickly, and IGM #5 was sent to Vancouver to eliminate the costs of Operators while providing most non-simulcast programming for CHQM-FM. Failure came even more quickly, and an Operator was assigned 5 minutes into the first day. As for CJQM, it was sold, became CFRW but later went bankrupt. Jim Pattison bought the station on March 30, 1970, and sold it to CHUM on July 31, 1974. The CFRW call letters were restored in 2003.
In 1996, the CRTC authorized Standard Radio's purchase of CISL-650 and CKZZ-FM Vancouver. CISL first signed on at 6 a.m. May 1, 1980, on 940 KHz with 2500 watts. The station was licensed to Richmond (B.C.), moving to its current 650 KHz on July 1, 1984. CKZZ-FM signed on at 8 a.m. on Thursday, May 23, 1991, on 95.3 MHz, with 71,300 watts from a Mount Seymour transmitter site. Around the turn of the century, in a few summer BBM ratings, Z95 edged out CKNW from its then-perpetual #1 ratings position.
In 1998, Golden West's application for CILT-FM Steinbach (Manitoba) was approved by the CRTC. Lite 96.7 FM signed on with 50,000 watts.
In 2008, CHQT did its last live day as Cool 8-80, before switching to All News as iNews880.com on May 20th at 6:00 a.m. The time in between was used to renovate the studio for the new format.
The last song played during the live period that day was dedicated, by Roxie Malone, to the late Gord Robson and was Edward Bear's "The Last Song". You can hear it on this thread: http://www.radiowest.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=3465

A systematic review of the effects of dynamic exercise in rheumatoid arthritis.
AP Cairns, JG McVeigh
Exercise is commonly used in the management of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, there is little consensus in the literature to support its use. This systemic review aimed to determine the effects of dynamic exercise on patients with RA. A systematic search of Medline (1949-2007), Cinahl (1982-2007), Embase (1974-2007) and Cochrane library was performed for randomised-controlled trials using the keywords "rheumatoid arthritis" and "exercise" or "training" or "sport". The methodological quality of studies was assessed using a ten-point scale. Eighteen papers relating to 12 different studies met inclusion criteria. The mean methodological quality score was 6.9/10. Studies using aerobic training, strength training and combinations of both were included. Patients with early, stable, and active RA were studied. A number of studies reported improvement in muscle strength, physical function and aerobic capacity with dynamic exercise. Some studies also reported improvements in disease activity measures, and small improvements in hip bone mineral density. One study reported significantly less progression of small joint radiographic damage of the feet in the dynamic exercise group. However, one study also reported worse large joint radiographic damage in patients using dynamic exercise who had pre-existing large joint damage, though this was a retrospective analysis. No studies reported worse outcomes for function, disease activity or aerobic capacity with dynamic exercise. Cardiovascular outcomes were not reported in any study, and no data were presented to assess the effect of exercise on patients with significant underlying cardiovascular disease. This systematic review suggests that the majority of patients with RA should be encouraged to undertake aerobic and/or strength training exercise. Exercise programmes should be carefully tailored to the individual, particularly for patients with underlying large joint damage or pre-existing cardiovascular disease.

Why We Need Older Women in the Workplace
By Lisa Miller
Photo: tk
When I was about 30, I was hired to be an editor at The Wall Street Journal. There was no good reason for this. I was a pretty good writer, and I knew the rules of grammar and was in general interested in a lot of stuff. But nothing on my résumé would have pointed in the direction of a coveted job at the No. 2 daily paper in the land; I'm guessing there were lots of people more qualified in line for (and deserving of) that job.
But the person who hired me — ten years older, tough, funny, brilliant — saw something in me. Thank God. She could see that I was smart. She probably sensed that I had (have) a tolerance, and even an appetite, for punishing amounts of work. She probably liked that I wasn't an apple-shiner. (She wasn't an apple-shiner.)
I fell for her completely. How could I not? My boss was wicked. Sharp. Hilarious. Quick-witted. Irreverent. Also: kind, responsible, ethical, serious. Direct. A meritocrat. She loved people who made her laugh or think. She followed rules carefully and broke them knowingly. She loved wielding her power.
She wasn't afraid. We worked in a newsroom, at desks arrayed like a kindergarten classroom, so as I edited stories at what seemed to me like a lightning pace, I could watch her transact business. She was intimidating — not a person to piss off — a fact that everyone at the company knew. In an organization full of swaggering men, she didn't holler. She never pulled punches. She just told you what she thought of your boneheaded mistake and then moved on.
I admired her. I wanted to please her. They say that younger women evaluate their female elders both in terms of their achievements at work and the way they manage their lives at home, and I suppose the fact that my boss was also a mother and a wife (who left the office promptly at 6 p.m. no matter what little fires were erupting on deadline) appealed to me. But that wasn't the first thing. The first thing was her relentlessness, her comfort with her own hunger, and the good humor with which she wore it all. It was she, more than anyone I'd ever met, who gave me the gift of a vision of a future in which I might be sustained by work, comfortable (if often extremely frustrated) competing with men, in an office full of impatient, profane, curious, demanding, creative people whose company I loved. Love.
A good workplace is one in which you can look around and see versions of yourself five years from now, or ten. But for women, this exercise in mirroring gets harder and harder as they push toward 40, and 50, and beyond — for the simple reason that older women with ambition don't stick around. They dial back, drop out, start their own thing. They want more control, flexibility; they find themselves trapped in one more meeting listening to one more self-serving anecdote by one more male superior who feels no urgency to head on home, and they reach their limit. For many of even the most ambitious women, the grind of a conventional, straight-up trajectory feels unworkable, especially once they're caring for children, too. "It gets really hard," says Anne Weisberg, vice-president and an expert in women's leadership at the Families and Work Institute. "You're more likely to say it's not worth it." Sheryl Sandberg, Marissa Mayer, Anne-Marie Slaughter: The culture looks to them as role models, but actually they're one-offs, unique exceptions of meteoric success in a work culture that is fundamentally unkind to women (okay, to people) who have other pressing things to do.
Why is it excellent, preferable, to have women over 40, or 50, or 60 in the workplace? Let me count the ways (though the fact that I have to count at all makes me purple). The first one, obviously, is that it's simply excellent to have a diverse workplace — people who don't look, think, act, or talk like the boss — and as the data that follow illustrate, women over 40 are dramatically underrepresented in the top tiers of organizations. For another, studies show that women actually do good work. (Although, again, this is something we need to study?) According to a 2012 report by Dow Jones, companies with at least one female senior executive are more likely to succeed than companies that have only men at the top. Venture-based start-ups with five or more women onboard are significantly more successful than those without. And as Anne Weisberg points out, women who have achieved some level of success by middle age probably already have more experience with what has come to be called the "gig" economy than mid-career men who've been slogging it out in the same company for a decade or more. Because women so frequently turn the heat up and down on their careers, because they move laterally, and back and forth between work and home, because they work efficiently but not necessarily during "working hours," they have in some way already adapted to the new way of doing business. It's the men who expect a secure paycheck and a steady climb who have to readjust.
25 Famous Women on Being in Charge
But so far, all this is wishful thinking. The data on female success and achievement at older ages is appalling. Ambitious women may enter the workforce earning the same as men, and with the same potential to ascend, but by the time they're mid-career, the differential is staggering. Women may earn 77 cents for every male dollar, but that proportion is a lifetime average: Parity between the sexes begins to drop the minute a woman chooses to have kids and dial back to care for them, and it never recovers. By the time a woman reaches the age of 50, she's earning 55 cents on the dollar. And because they step on and off the track, women in general have less retirement savings than men; they are less likely to be participating in employer pension plans; once they've left the workforce, they have a terrible time getting rehired, largely because age discrimination, which is against the law, is directed particularly at women who are past the age where society deems them attractive. ("I have become so invisible," says a friend of mine, perhaps the most ambitious person I know, "that I'm seriously considering taking up shoplifting.") Women over 40 are the fastest-growing segment of the workforce, but these women are not bossing people around: They're nurses and admins and part-time clerks and home health aides. They're are also far likelier than their male peers to say they are "underemployed" — stuck in jobs where their abilities aren't recognized, where they aren't getting promoted, where they aren't working up to their highest level. If we want the next generation of women to be strong, assertive, and demanding in this environment, we have to give them models that show them how.
As the resident crone around here, that job falls to me, I guess, though the idea that I have anything meaningful to impart feels fraudulent: I'm just exhausted and scrambling like everyone else. Part of my reluctance to adopt a role-model mantle is the fact that our industry has imploded over the past decade, and everyone – male, female, young, old — is hanging on by their teeth. But part of it is also this: No single woman's experience of success is generalizable to all women; in spite of all the millions of books sold, Sheryl Sandberg only really knows what worked for her. (And she knew Larry Summers, which was a big thing.) The better plan would be for a young woman to enter a workplace and, upon looking around, see lots and lots and lots of established, successful females from which to collate a vision of herself: the loner, the sycophant, the ass-kicker, the honest broker, the backstabber, the flirt, the wheedler, the warm hug, the cold fish, the brainiac, the yeller, the whisperer, the diplomat, the hoop-jumper, the straight-A student, the zealot, the do-gooder. Role models don't have to be superheroes, in other words, or even necessarily exemplary; there just have enough of them, and they have to have made it work. And to that end, I'll do the wisdom thing and pass along two tidbits I learned at my long-ago boss's knee. First, always sound like you know what you're talking about even if you don't. And before you do something you know will piss someone off, arm yourself carefully with two good reasons why.
love and war
shes the boss

Researching the genocide twenty years on
In the process of researching the topic for a film to mark the 20th anniversary of the genocide, which then led to the making of Justice Seekers, I came across one other story, complex and hugely fascinating: A man who together with ten others lives stateless, in no man's land.
Since his arrest in Cameroon in 1999, Justin Mugenzi has been held at a UN detention facility in Arusha Tanzania for fourteen years. This was how long it took for the UN funded International Crimes Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) to try him and convict him to 30 years in prison in 2011. He was released in February 2013 following a successful appeal and now lives under UN protection in a safe house in Arusha with other former members of the 1994 establishment. Unable to be reunited with his family in Brussels following his visa's refusal and afraid to return to his native Rwanda, he now fears he will be forgotten.
Justin Mugenzi was the founder of an opposition party, the Parti Liberal and later became Minister of Trade and Industry of the interim Hutu government, hastily put in place following the shooting down of Rwanda's President Juvenal Habyarimana's plane on 6 April 1994, an act that triggered the genocide.
Through Mugenzi's character, a former school teacher who found his way into politics and rare archive footage, we offer an unseen perspective of his role on the run-up to the genocide and the dark days that followed. Although he has been acquitted and is a free man, his and the other men's existence is considered politically toxic for many member state countries whose governments have confided to the registrar of the tribunal that they have already taken their fair share of the burden.
The ICTR is on the verge of closing its doors as it approaches its 20th anniversary in November 2014. According to ICTR spokesperson Roland Amoussouga, the tribunal has cost 1.6 billion dollars as of 31st December 2011, having processed a total of 75 cases. Currently in the process of downsizing its large structure in Arusha Tanzania and transferring its powers to the MICT (Mechanism of the International Crimes Tribunal), the tribunal finds itself amidst a legal paradox: Funded by the UN with the approval of the Security Council's member state countries, the ICTR finds that those very same countries have now turned their backs on the tribunal's efforts to relocate the acquitted men to the countries where their exiled families live. The right to respect for family life is guaranteed by international conventions; in particular by the European Convention on Human Rights, the revised European Social Charter, the European Convention on the Legal Status of Migrant Workers as well as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
This has led the ICTR later in 2013 to renew its attempts to relocate them, but this time to Ghana, Burkina Faso and Cote D'Ivoire, where a moral stance towards the Rwandan genocide is far less problematic. All men living in the Arusha safe house refused such an 'offer'.
A lot is at stake for the ICTR, which expects to have completed all pending judgments before the end of 2014 as part of the residual mechanism. In their latest report (15 May 2014), the president of the ICTR Judge Vagn Joensen wrote: "Without the enhanced cooperation of Member States in certain areas, it will be extremely difficult for the Tribunal to successfully complete its mandate. In addition to focusing on ongoing cases, cooperation also included requests for assistance in the relocation of acquitted and released persons still residing in Arusha, United Republic of Tanzania. In spite of the two Security Council resolutions in which the Council called upon Member States to assist, none have offered such assistance since the resolutions were passed. The fact that article 28 of the statute of the Tribunal does not obligate Member States to cooperate in matters of relocation has not assisted the Tribunal. (…) Since the previous report and consistent with the strategic plan, the President and the Registrar have made concerted efforts to relocate the acquitted and released persons outside the United Republic of Tanzania, but with very little success. The President met with representatives from various European countries during meetings in New York and Europe, while the Registrar visited four countries in Africa and the Chair of the African Union Commission in Addis Ababa to present the idea of relocation."
But closing its doors also brings other challenges for the tribunal. A much disputed asset are the archives generated through the court proceedings, which currently stand at 2,621 linear metres (2.6 Kms) of records being appraised for digital transfer by 31 December 2014. For that purpose, the tribunal has appointed a US-based consulting firm, Information First, which they claim has expertise in this area. The materials currently available in the archives are in some cases deemed as highly sensitive, as they present challenging accounts as to what actually went on before, during and after the period of 100-days established as the duration of the 1994 genocide.
But other more unsettling questions still remain unanswered today; questions about the reliability of key pieces of evidence used to underpin the tribunal's entire legal framework and the prism of events used in the trials, the suppression of a number of internal reports, which in one instance in 2003 led to the sacking of Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte. This has caused a wave of dissent by a number of leading academics raising fundamental questions as to whether the tribunal was politically influenced by its most powerful backers.
No Man's Land juxtaposes the personal driven narrative of Justin Mugenzi and his family in Belgium as they attempt to be reunited and the legal paradox currently experienced by the tribunal. We started filming Justin since September 2013, following his acquittal and have since, through a number of trips to Tanzania, met other men living in the safe house.
Thanks to the support of World View we were able to travel to Arusha and are now seeking further funds to take the film to the next level.
After a period of time establishing connections and meeting key players in our story, we have gained unprecedented access within the UN, Rwanda's government and the ICTR. Complemented with insightful interviews by key players in the creation of such legal mechanisms, the UN, Human Rights organisations and experts, our film offers a unique perspective on the challenges faced by the international community in addressing complex humanitarian issues, whilst shining a light on the far more unsettling issue of political interference.
This is in my view an important film to make, one that highlights our role in dealing with unmeasurable tragedies through international justice but failing to create the needed mechanisms to deal with convictions and acquittals in equal measure. I believe a film that reflects on this fundamental dynamic, can contribute to a greater understanding as to how tragedies such as these are dealt with post-conflict and the role the international community plays in resolving them. If the facts of the past aren't made clear, they risk being repeated in the future. This risk is not hypothetical, it is very real. Ultimately, the fundamental issue that sits at the heart of this film is our shared humanity with all its flaws. Our role in making decisions, in judging and shaping our history.
Justin Mugenzi's 15 years experience of the tribunal provides an insiders view to the inner-workings of the ICTR and the interpretation of the facts surrounding what happened in 1994 Rwanda. Through Mugenzi's viewpoint and the charges laid against him, the film provides the viewer with a chronology to the unfolding cataclysm but with the aim of re-enforcing our understanding of how the ICTR came to be and how its mandate was defined.
The 1994 genocide of Rwanda
Undoubtedly the 1994 Rwandan genocide has made its mark as one of the darkest episodes of the twentieth century when, following the shooting down of president Juvenal Habyarimana's plane over the Kigali skies, for a period of 100 days between April and July 1994, thousands of men women and children mainly Tutsis, but also moderate Hutus, were killed.
The numbers were staggering: somewhere between 500,000 to 800,000 killed, millions displaced in what became according to the UNHCR agency "the largest and fastest refugee exodus in modern times". How could a country descend into such levels of chaos, widespread mass killings and death in such a fast and, for the West, unexpected way? Specially, when less then a year before, the Arusha peace accords had been signed by the MRND, the ruling party headed by president Habyarimana, the opposition and the Rwandan Patriotic Front, who since October 1990 were waging war against the regime?
The scale of what had happened was so inexplicable, that a wave of guilt inundated public consciousness in the West, with politicians clambering to pay their respects and pledging their allegiance to Rwanda's new government headed by President Paul Kagame. Bill Clinton went further and made a public apology for failing to recognise what had happened as genocide. At the time, UNAMIR the UN peace mission set up with the aim of overseeing the peaceful implementation of the Arusha accords, headed by Canadian general Romeo Dallaire, was according to many, another victim of the UN's lack of resolve. Many attributed the reluctance of the UN to empower and equip the resource-depleted UNAMIR mission, a direct reflex to what had happened the year before in Somalia, where 18 American soldiers, part of the United Nations Operation in Somalia II (UNOSOM II), were killed in Mogadishu in a botched hostage recovery mission, also known as Black Hawk Down.
In terms of Western media, there were quite a few events that diverted the attention of the general public elsewhere, although to a lesser extent in France where Mitterrand's coalition government was the biggest military supporter of Habyarimana's government. Those events were the suicide of Kurt Cobain, the broadcast of the first televised murder trial of OJ Simpson, the inauguration of Nelson Mandela as the first Black South African president and the 1994 Wold Cup.
It is important however to contextualise in a chronology the Rwandan genocide in relation to other events that were happening in and around the country on the run up to April 1994:
A war of increasing ferocity was raging, following the RPF (Rwandan Patriotic Front) invasion from the north of the country via Uganda from October 1990. This triggered a growing exodus of Hutu refugees towards the capital Kigali, fleeing the killings in the northern region of the country.
From 1992, the government of Juvenal Habyarimana opened the country to a multi-party system, some say as a way to appease the French who supported the regime with military equipment and training. In the Élysée, Mitterrand's coalition government was finding it increasingly difficult to justify their support for the dictatorial and oppressive regime of President Habyarimana. Faced with the prospect of losing the war and in need of bolstering military assistance, Habyarimana subsided.
In August 1993, the Arusha Accords were signed with the aim of ending the three-year war and as a result, a broad-base transitional government (BBTG) was formed. Plagued by infighting between old and new political elites and between the government and the RPF, political assassinations and suspicion amongst politicians jostling for power, the Arusha accords were never implemented.
Meanwhile, on 21 October 1993 in neighbouring Burundi, there was a coup against the Hutu-led government orchestrated by the Tutsi military elite, resulting in the assassination of President Melchior Ndadaye and well over 100,000 killed in the ensuing skirmishes between Tutsis and Hutus. This saw thousands of displaced people, mainly Hutus fleeing into Rwanda with many settling in the already overflowing refugee camps around the city of Kigali. It is estimated that, prior to the start of the 1994 genocide, there were in excess of 2 million Hutu refugees living in those camps.
With the growth of extremist rhetoric used by some political factions directly targeting the Tutsi population and a section of government controlled media actively promoting extremism, sporadic killings of Tutsis became commonplace. The stage was set for an impending catastrophe of immeasurable proportions. All that was required was a flint to set in motion the apocalypse.
My stance towards the character of Justin Mugenzi is purely observational and we are not in any way attempting to diminish the proportions of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Instead, our aim is to, through his personal story, shine a light on the forces that were at play on the ground at the time and the construction of the judicial mechanisms that led to the creation of the ICTR and how it subsequently dealt with the delivery of justice.

Legal Studies Research Paper Series Vol. 13, No. 1
The Faculty has published Volume 12 Number 7 of the University of Cambridge Faculty of Law Legal Studies Research Paper Series on SSRN.
This issue includes the following articles:
Matthew H. Kramer: Freedom of Expression as Self-Restraint (30/2021)
In my recent book Freedom of Expression as Self-Restraint, I expound and defend the moral principle of freedom of expression. This article recounts a few of the main strands of the exposition in that book, and it touches upon the justification for the principle of freedom of expression. Supplementing the abstract ideas broached in the article are several illustrative examples that render the abstractions more accessible.
Catherine Barnard & Emilija Leinarte: Movement of Goods Under the TCA (31/2021)
The most comprehensive part of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) concluded between the EU and the UK concerned the movement of goods. The aim of this article is to consider the approach taken by the TCA to trade of goods when considered in the light of the EU internal market regime. We argue that it would be entirely wrong to consider the provisions in the TCA as free movement of goods 'minus'. Rather, with the exception of the Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol (NIP), which is part of the Withdrawal Agreement (WA), not the TCA, the approach to the movement of goods has much more in common with the World Trade Organisation's (WTO) provisions on goods, on which the TCA draws heavily, than EU law. From a political perspective, this shift to a 'WTO plus' approach is because the UK government considered that the Brexit vote gave a green light for a total break with the EU's rules. From a legal perspective, the movement of goods between the UK and the EU is covered by the Heading on Trade, which is part of a Free Trade Agreement, not part of the Single Market, with all the consequences which flow from this shift.
The chapter is structured as follows. Section 2 will consider the UK's approach to negotiating its new trading relationship. Section 2 will Section 3 will examine the TCA's approach to the trade in goods, focusing on four key elements of the goods regime under the TCA: (i) the principle of non-discrimination; (ii) the significance of a '0, 0' agreement; (iii) regulatory barriers to trade; and (iv) (absence of) mutual recognition. Section 3 will address the unique case of Northern Ireland. Section 4 concludes.
Bobby V. Reddy: The SPACtacular Rise of the Special Purpose Acquisition Company: A Retail Investor's Worst Nightmare (32/2021)
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) are non-operating entities seeking public listings with the sole intention of subsequently acquiring other companies. Once a target has been acquired, the SPAC de-lists and the newly enlarged group reapplies for listing as a, now publicly-owned, operating entity, thereby streamlining the process to IPO for the target. SPACs have surged in the US recently, with SPAC sponsors making concerted efforts to attract not only institutional, but also retail, investors. With a view to invigorating SPAC activity in the UK, new regulations have been introduced that will enable UK SPAC sponsors to mimic the structure of US SPACs. However, in this article, it will be discussed that unlike the more benign nature of traditional UK SPACs, the typical US-style SPAC is simply a financial instrument for institutional investors built upon the investment of retail investors, and promoting such an evolution in the UK may be misguided.
Brian R. Cheffins: History and Turning the Antitrust Page (33/2021)
Present-day advocates of antitrust reform referred to as "New Brandeisians" have invoked history in pressing the case for change. The New Brandeisians bemoan the upending of a mid-20th century "golden age" of antitrust by an intellectual movement known as the Chicago School. In fact, mid-20th century enforcement of antitrust was uneven and large corporations exercised substantial market power. The Chicago School also was not as decisive an agent of change as the New Brandeisians suggest. Doubts about the efficacy of government regulation and concerns about foreign competition did much to foster the late 20th century counter-revolution antitrust experienced.
