Memories of East Berlin
In july 1989 I had made a tour of East Germany, with my old band The Beatnigs. We were invited as part of a political song festival and It was one of the most emotionally turbulent trips I have made as a musician. At the time Berlin, was a virtual island landlocked by East Germany. I recall flying on Interflug (the east german airline), the DDR government had flown us first class from San Francisco to JFK on Pan Am and then on Interflug to East Berlin from there. Ironically we got on the second leg of the flight and noticed although the tickets said first class we got no special seating as a result of the fact that East Germany was supposed to be a "classless" communist society and therefore there was no first class seating.
We travelled with two russian bands and played four concerts in east germany. The last concert was in a park on a lake island called the Isle of youth. After the show, John Lennon's film "imageine" was shown for the first time in east Germany. The Russian bands played very strange "art rock" music that seemed to be inspired by Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart. At the time the only western music reaching Russia, was black market records that were sold in Russia as a result of too many being pressed up in America. Dealers tried to unload their surplus stock in Eastern Europe. so the influences that reached Russian rock musicians was often varied, and did not follow the same progression of change as pop music in the west.
At the time, people from the east were only allowed to pass throught the wall to west Berlin on very special occasions, for example a wedding or funeral. They often had to apply for visas years in advance. people from the West were allowed to pass into the East on a tourist Visa, provided they had money to spend and were willing to spend 25 German marks on a visa. The East German government was desperate for cash flow at the time and allowed this type of tourism in order to bolster their economy.
On one day I passed through the border from east to west in order to do a promo trip. Somehow I had taken a train from one side to the next and ended up at the wrong location, so I used my American passport, paid 25 marks and passed back through. After this I found the right passing and crossed over again into the west, did my interviews and then crossed back in to the east that night. Each time I passed through, I was saddened by the fact that there were families who were dressed in their very best clothes, attempting to convince passport police that their visas were in order. I recall one little girl and her mother who were not allowed entry for their once in a lifetime visit. Although I could not understand their language, I could see that the mother was telling the little girl, who was breaking down, not to cry in front of the machine gun toting passport poilce. Not to give them that satisfaction.
The fact that I had been able to pass through the border three times in one day had made me feel sick to my stomach as I sat in my hotel room and recalled the look of the little girl who would not be passing because of some stupid paperwork technicality.
The most difficult part of my trip to east germany was to come months later.
During our time in the East we were accompanied by a young inerpreter named Irene. She was young energetic and ever so helpful as we journeyed throughout east Germany where the second language was often Russian and very few people spoke fluent English. She was especially fond of music and loved working with us.
We were paid in East German marks for our gigs, and this currency was worthless outside of the DDR. So when we left East Berlin we bought Praktika (eastern made) camera equipment. It was like being on wheel of fortune. "For 800 marks I'll take the camera, for 1000 marks I'll take the telephoto lense, etc..." . There were east germans in line to buy things who had saved up money for months just to buy film. Each of us were given more marks than what a family of four would make in a year. We had so much of this money that could not leave the country that we decided to open a bank account and leave the money there in case we ever came back.
After we had left the country we found out our interpreter Irene had already been 3 months pregnant when we had met her. She had explained to us that the biggest problem in east germany at the moment was "brain drain". The brightest and most talented young people were leaving the country and the government would not allow anyone who left to return to see their families. She told us that possibly in ten years time the government might allow people to travel freely and possibly in ten or twenty years the wall would eventually fall.
In a great shock to the whole world, in October of 1989, the wall came down.
I was very happy about the collapse of the wall and we decided to give the money we had in the bank to Irene. In an effort to help Easterners get off to a good start in the new Unified Germany, the Unified Government traded DDR marks for Western Marks at a rate of one to one. Which meant that this useless money was now quite valuable. We had left about 30,000 marks in the bank (at the time the mark was valued at about 2.5 to the dollar) We were happy for Irene who would be giving birth soon and the money would help her to get off to a good start.
The wall coming down was not easy for everyone. Many East Germans immediately went out and took loans to buy all of the material goods they could never get in the East. TV's, VCR's, cars, motorcycles, etc... Many Easterners found themselves madly in debt with no job and a limited comprehension of how the western way of finances worked. Others found out that members of their family had been working as informants for the secret state police. There was a lot of pain in the discovery of these truths.
For whatever reason Irene went into a great depression. She found out many of her family had been involved in things that she had no idea about.
For reasons that only she will know, at seven months preganant, Irene committed suicide.
We were all crushed at the news.
I had hoped to see her again in the Unified Germany and see her with her child growing up with a new sense of freedom. The learning of her death challenged my view of what it means to be free. We in the West often view the fact that we have access to materialism as freedom, yet we often find ourselves enslaved by the rat race struggling just to pay the bills. we see the fact that we are able to travel as freedom, but only a few of us can afford it and many of us never leave the area we grow up in. We have the right to free speech(until you actually try it!) yet we are subject the views corporate owned media manipulators.
Freedom is an internal thing, some of us find it in circumstances others feel oppressed by. Some of us find it wherever we live, and others find it only in death.

I just have to say that this story (this truth) struck me so hard....particularly because in the same year you were working with Irene, I was in Budapest, and spent one evening under the citadel talking with 2 East German back-packers about what the word "freedom" meant to them. The conversation left me so confused - the concept of freedom suddenly seemed very abstract - not at all cut and dried. Your final comment that freedom is personal and is unique for every one of us helps me understand it so much better....
peace to you in your travels,

I'm glad there's someone out there like you, Michael, as well as people who read and are moved my your words, your poems and your music.
What you write about, the history you've enocuntered in East Berlin is amazing from a personal, social, economic and global level.
I'm sorry to hear about Irene and her unborn child. Can things really be that rough?!
I guess so, and I know so. We all interact with the world, the earth and each other in such varying ways. I often look at my surrounding and my situation and I question what it's all about, question my role, my goal, my spirit.
I think your message in written, spoken, and sung form creates a communal atmosphere. that I'm proud to be a part of. I look at the worls around me and I feel love, anger, fear, confusion, joy.....I feel human. That's how I want to be and that's how I want to stay. I hope we can all do it together.

Rapper Meek Mill has Colin Kaepernick's back.
In lyrics revealed to Page Six, Mill, whose real name is Robert Williams, touches on Kaepernick's struggles getting back to the NFL after kneeling in protest police killings of people of color.
"They won't lynch him by hanging from a tree. They lynch his bank account," Meek rapped in a song yet to be released.
"They told Kap to stand up if you want to play for a team, and most of his teammates said the same thing," Mill continued. "Back in the '30s you would be killed if you kneeled. They won't kill you now, they just take you out of the deal."
The two struck up a relationship following Mill's incarceration over a controversial probation violation. During his prison stint, Kaepernick spoke to the rapper over the phone, offering words of encouragement as the Mill went through his legal proceedings.
Spoke to Meek Mill & he wanted ppl to know regardless of his unjust situation, he's in good spirits & humbled by the support the people have shown him. We'll continue to fight against the harsh sentencing practices that have affected Meek & millions of other POC for generations.
— Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) November 20, 2017
Since his release, Mill has been an advocate for prison reform, partnering with the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's Legislative Conference. Last year, Mill even pledged $10,000 to $1 million pledge for social initiatives, as both gave a total of $20,000 to Philadelphia's Youth Service Inc.

Dear Reader,
Since the chemical attacks in Syria on 7th April two topics of conversation have dominated the international stage – the use of chemical weapons and what response the international community should take to their use.
It is time for the UK and European Union to acknowledge the "hard facts" about Brexit, Theresa May has said as she paves the way for compromise on a free trade deal.
The call for applications for Round 5 of the Coastal Communities Fund (CCF) in England is now open. At least £40 million is available in this funding round which covers the period 2019-20 to 2020-21. To date the CCF in England has provided 131 projects with £132 million of funding.
It may be the start of a New Year, but already it has a familiar ring about it as the EU wrestles with some recurring issues.
Victims of stalking need far greater protection & the #StalkingProtectionBill(second reading Jan 19th) would introduce #StalkingProtectionOrders to stop stalkers contacting victims directly or indirectly. Breaching a SPO would be a criminal offence.
Christmas Card Competition
Thank you to all the school children who took part in my Christmas Card Competition; there were some wonderful entries and it was very hard to choose a winner.
30 Hours Free Childcare
I am delighted that the Government met its commitment to launch 30 hours free childcare earlier this year.
Farmers face continuing uncertainty after the European Commission ignored scientific evidence last month and caved in to political pressure over the use of the weed killer glyphosate (known as Roundup in the UK).
It was a pleasure to answer questions from students across Gibraltar today about my job as their MEP and the Brexit talks. ????

I whipped up this simple little ditty over the weekend.
I found this cute fabric at JoAnn's, who has all of a sudden gotten some really cute stuff in. I know not all JoAnn's stores are like mine but ours has been so nasty (both in cleanliness and staff attitudes) in the past that I've all but stopped going there completely.
At any rate, I found the store in much better condition lately and the staff seem to have gotten attitude adjustments since I was last there. Thank goodness because we don't have many brick and mortar fabric shops around here. Unless you count the Amish ones and well, I'm just not that brave yet. Maybe after another ten years in Amish country I'll get up the nerve.
At any rate, I think this simple little skirt is quite sweet with the modern, funky cartoon houses juxtaposed against the dainty, almost old-fashioned, floral ruffle. And what little girl doesn't love purple, right? I know mine does.
This will be posted in the Etsy shop soon and since I have plenty of yardage I'll be able to custom make most any size you request!

Beyond the Cucumbers
"Here's the image," I say to my sister Nancy. I am sitting on the side of her bed, holding her left hand a little too tightly. Under the covers, eyes closed, she takes a deep breath. "We are at a spa, lying side-by-side, slathered in mud. Our eyes peek out." She nods. Smiles weakly.
My stomach twists into a knot. Mud. Side by side. Sounds like a joint burial. Nancy nestles deeper into the pillows. Her eyes open, look at me, disappear again under eyelashes that drift up, down.
When I stand up, Nancy squeezes my hand. Eyes still closed, she says, "Our eyes are covered by cucumber slices. We'll meet – beyond the cucumbers." She chuckles softly.
Nancy and I have been talking about how to celebrate, should she survive this medical crisis. She wants to go to a spa, which for her would be a special treat. I find spas frivolous, even silly. But my sister is teetering on a thin edge, and if she lives I will take her anywhere she wants to go, no complaints.
Since I arrived at Nancy's, I sense Madame Death everywhere. Just now her gauzy presence breezed by. I imagine her in the leather bucket chair by the end of the bed, chin in hand. I turn away, close my eyes, but even then I feel her swimming in my protoplasm.
In the next room, younger sisters Casey and Suzie wait for my report.
We three rushed here when everyone – her son, doctors and palliative care nurses – thought it was the end. We've been here for eight days.
But she's still alive.
This surprising fact leaves everyone in limbo. We want to take care of her, and feel pressured to return to our lives hundreds of miles away. It's impossible to talk about this without feeling a ragged guilt.
~ ~ ~ ~
It is Nancy's blood cells that cause the trouble. Her bone marrow, which produces a stream of life-giving bits, has shut down – again. It is a consequence of the chemotherapy she received to treat ovarian cancer several years ago. Even though the chemo drenched her in chemicals that blasted the ovarian cancer out of her, it rearranged her body's relationship with its bone marrow. She ended up with aplastic anemia, which means she has times when her white and red blood cells and platelets disappear. Then, she is consumed by a voracious fatigue. She needs treatment to kick-start her bone marrow. There is no guarantee it will work. At some point, we have been told, it won't and she will die.
She had a treatment several weeks ago. So far it doesn't look good.
The last time this happened, as Nancy seemed to slide toward death we endured weeks of hoping her bone marrow would respond. She consumed a dazzling pharmacopoeia and spent most days connected to bags of intravenous blood products. She became our own Sleeping Beauty. While she slept, we – her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and sisters – tended, talked, prayed there would be a "bump" in the statistics about her blood. We knew that a change in numbers indicates a chance at more life.
During that time I also felt Madame Death swish around. I touched the icy pool of life-without-Nancy, felt myself slip into cold water that crushed my heart. I cried and cried, said over and over, "Don't die don't die, don't leave, don't don't. Please. Please." Daily, I begged all forces to give me a few more days with my sister.
No one imagined how she could live.
But one morning at 2:00AM Nancy awakened from a semi-coma and began to sing. She called. My heart tap dancing, I grabbed the phone on the first ring.
Her voice: "I'm going to be OK. I've been singing every song I know."
Then, her hearty laugh, a sound I'd thought I would never hear again. How could this be? For weeks she'd been inert, unwilling to eat, puffed up like a blowfish. Palliative care nurses orchestrated every routine.
"What? For weeks you've been dying and now you're making music?"
I sat up, turned on the lamp. She told me she'd been at her keyboard singing her way through her huge black binder. I was speechless. My sister, a musical India rubber ball, bouncing forward.
Music. Of course. It's the music.
In a hospital examining room days after that call, Nancy's doctors told her the treatment had kicked in. She called me to report: "Isn't this great! It worked!" How deeply she believed their medical analysis of why she had survived. But I had other thoughts. Although I didn't tell her, I knew her intimate relationship with music was as powerful as any pharmaceutical.
What I did say was, "Sounds like you've had a spiritual transfusion."
"Spiritual transfusion? What's that? You and your wild ass ideas. It's the meds." A laugh.
This time, since receiving the kick-start serum, there's been no "bump" in her blood count. Instead, bleeding. When that started, Nancy called, described blood flowing from her mouth and nose at night.
"It won't stop. I don't know how to make it stop."
Her voice was that of a child, the little girl sister I once knew. To avoid imagining what she was telling me, I covered my eyes.
Then, a whisper: "I'm not ready to die. I don't want to bleed to death."
I thought about how blatantly the body bleeds when it has too few clot-forming platelets.
"OK, OK," I soothed, "no matter what, it's going to be all right." But images of her blanketed in blood flooded my mind. Despair, cloying as a wet wool coat, settled in. Although it was midnight, I called Casey, then Suzie. We talked about work schedules and coordinating arrival times.
~ ~ ~ ~
Nancy and I are the fourth and fifth in a family of eight children, seven of whom are still alive. All of us are over fifty-five years old. She and I occupy the middle of the lineup: three older brothers lead and three younger sisters, one deceased, follow us. Casey, who is five years younger than me, is an artist married to another artist. Suzie, seven years my junior, is a mother and music teacher married to a businessman. I am a divorced mother, university teacher, therapist, and writer. Nancy, our lead sled dog, is a mother; and she has had more careers that the three of us put together, and has been married the most times.
Only sixteen months apart in age, Nancy and I wore identical smock dresses when we were little girls. We slept in matching twin beds, received the same dolls for Christmas and turned in unison when Mother's called, "Girls!" Raised as if we were one child, we acted like two halves of the same cookie. Together we braved our brothers' torments, played piano duets and shared swimming lessons.
When our bodies and personalities took shape, our differences emerged. Then, sparky and angry, we pushed away from one another. There stood Nancy: petite, curvy, sensuous, musical, popular. I was tall, straight, studious, drawn to perplexing questions about life and love. Both of us, we later discovered when we talked about those years, felt abandoned by the other.
It took until our mid-thirties to find one another again, but when we did we again became each other's biggest fan and ever-ready confidante. For over sixty years, no matter where we have lived, we have talked about life's journey. We touch base several times a week, swap stories of children, family members and friends. We visit each other whenever we can. When she is ill we talk several times a day. I go to take care of her as often as I can.
We have a vibrant bond with our younger sisters. When our mother was at the end of her life, to fulfill a promise we made to her, we four left our families and moved into her house to care for her while she died. There, for the first time since we were teenagers, we lived together and provided a gentle embrace for Mother until she died.
That summer, our familiarity and routines shattered, we four discovered a deep reservoir of ways to be present with Mother and to care about each other, too. That summer, we say, was the most intimate experience of our lives.
And then Nancy got sick.
~ ~ ~ ~
Not long into this recent medical crisis, I helped Nancy get to the chair in front of her vanity. Standing behind her, I brushed her silver hair. In the mirror: her closed eyes, her wan smile, my face twisted with sadness. When I asked her what she needed to happen while all four sisters were together, her eyes popped open. Looked into mine. I could see she thought I believed she would die soon.
"I don't want to think about that," she said.
But a few days later she said, "OK, you asked, so here it is: I want us to sing."
My eyebrows shot up. Sing? Sing? Nancy could barely manage to talk. But then I remembered the previous year's nocturnal songfest.
"You want to sing?" I said, "OK. Sure. Let's do that."
She nodded. When I told Casey and Suzie what Nancy wanted to do, their faces registered the same amazement. We huddled into a knot, silenced, sad.
Since childhood, we four have sung together. Our father promoted singing – not shower songs, but close harmony, preferably a capella. A musician with a sincere appreciation for close chords and tricky key shifts, Dad made sure parties revolved around music: group singing, people playing instruments, jamming. We got stirred into the musical mêlée. All seven children took lessons, played instruments, and sang.
We daughters still make music. Casey's cello music touches places in me nothing else can. I sing in a choir that focuses on Broadway musicals and plunk a guitar. Suzie, the youngest, makes her living with music. Her passion is only matched by Nancy's, who for decades has sung barbershop harmony with groups and quartets. It is the sky in which her personal star shines brilliantly. There she has lived and breathed music. I have always thought Nancy's veins are filled not with blood but with the sound of music.
We all knew what her request to sing meant. She chooses a barbershop arrangement. She sings bass, I melody, Casey baritone and Suzie tenor. We proceed slowly, note by note, chord by chord, singing words and lines over and over until our voices are a precise blend. Until our sound causes goose bumps. Because we focus on every aspect of the music, this process typically takes hours.
~ ~ ~ ~
The afternoon of our singing took place in Nancy's bedroom. Barely able to keep her eyes open, she lay back against pillows. Suzie set the keyboard on the end of the bed. Casey and I pulled chairs up close. Nancy passed Suzie the music she'd chosen and Suzie plunked out the melody to "Me and My Shadow," a tune by Billy Rose, Al Jolson, and Dave Dreyer. Then, under Nancy's direction, we began.
All alone, I'm feeling oh so blue,
Me and my shadow, strolling down the avenue,
Me and my shadow,
Not a soul to tell our troubles to…
We found our parts and began to sing. Every minute or so, Suzie held her hand up, played one of our parts and waited for it to be sung. Nancy lifted her head off the pillow to listen, nodded when the sound was right. Then, on to the next chord. Over and over, one phrase then the next. Then a whole line in harmony – all four parts.
After an hour Nancy propped herself into a sitting position. Soon after she said she wanted to stand, so I helped her get on her feet. She wobbled, lay back down.
Minutes later she said, "OK. Singers stand. We can't get the sound unless we're all on our feet." She stood up again, grabbed onto me and the window sill and nodded to Suzie to begin.
And when it's twelve o'clock
We climb the stair
We never knock
For no one is there…
As we sang, Casey's, Suzie's, and my eyes were trained on Nancy. In the next half hour, her eyes lost their far-away veil. Her cheeks went from pale to pink. Her fingers began to pulse with each note, her hands to wave with shifts in tone. I remembered the scene from the movie ET, in which the extra-terrestrial, saddened about a dead flower, touches the dead blossom with a glowing fingertip. His energy flows into the flower and restores it to its former golden brilliance.
Standing by her bed, now infused with sound, my sister did the same thing. From beneath drugs and death she unfolded, stood upright and alive. She recreated herself. The changes in her swept us, hang gliders in her updraft, into her universe where we four became one sound.
Just me and my shadow
All alone and feelin' blue.
After four hours she said, "I'm tired now. We'll polish it off tomorrow." A full smile on her lips, she eased herself underneath the comforter and closed her eyes. Seconds later she was asleep.
Suzie, Casey and I closed her door quietly and walked into the living room. We sank into the sofa and sat there, wordless. Suzie reached out and pulled all six of our hands into bouquet.
"I can't stand this. It's just too hard," I whispered. "I'm going to grab a beer; anyone else want one?"

We didn't sing the next day. Nancy was too exhausted. She needed a transfusion. Nothing about her looked good. But when we bundled her up and took her to the clinic, there it was – a "bump"; her platelets had doubled. Nancy nodded, smiling, as if she knew the treatment was working. I smiled back, knowing the music was again working its magic.
The "bump" only lasted one day.
"Let's just wait and see what happens," said her physician the next day, his hand resting on her shoulder. Nancy nodded.
~ ~ ~ ~
"So," I say, continuing our conversation about the spa, "tell me – what kind of a spa do you want?"
Late afternoon light sneaks through her blinds, turns the room golden. The glow invites tears. Nancy adjusts her pile of pillows and pulls the comforter under her chin, closes her eyes.
"Ocean," she says.
"You want the spa to be on the ocean?"
"Yes." Silence. "Walking." More silence. "Yes, we need to walk. On a beach." Her eyes open, meet mine. "Small, intimate." She touches a tear on my cheek.
"West Coast… wind, rain." Silence. "Rubber boots. Slickers. I'll have to buy one. Yellow. Maybe purple." She grins.
"Who will be there?"
"All four of us. We have to sing."

DUBAI // Charitable work by Al Jalila Foundation has received a boost with a US$1 million donation of software from Microsoft to help its humanitarian and healthcare programmes.
The grant is part of Microsoft's software donation programme to non-profit organisations to support charities as they work to serve the community and improve lives.
Along with investing in medical education to improve the nation's treatment capabilities, the foundation has developed a research centre focusing on cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity and mental health.
The software will upgrade the charity's IT suite with the latest applications and Microsoft tools.
The foundation's CEO, Dr Abdulkareem Al Olama, said: "Every contribution, whether in the form of donations, expertise or products and services, is critical to our success.
"We are grateful to philanthropists and corporates alike that come together under the shared realisation that today's hope is tomorrow's reality."
Since its establishment in 1998, Microsoft's software donation programme has provided more than $3.9 billion (Dh14.3bn) of software to more than 60,000 non-profit organisations around the world.
Samer Abu Ltaif, regional general manager at Microsoft Gulf, said: "We greatly admire the work the foundation has done, and continues to do, in the service of community health.
"We have carefully selected the right tools for their operational needs so that they can concentrate on doing what they do best – making lives better."

The CDC is Asking Pet Owners to Refrain from Dressing Up Their Chickens This Year Due to a Particular Strain of Salmonella
Louisiana resident Stephanie Morse treats chickens like family, and like any other family member, Morse's chickens get costumes every Halloween.
"Their bare skin is exposed, I just like to put a sweater on them to keep them warm and comfortable, and some of them have more personality," Morse told CBS affiliate KNOE-TV.
But people like Morse are being told not to trick-or-treat with their chickens this Halloween. The CDC is asking pet owners to refrain from dressing up their chickens this year due to a particular strain of salmonella.
At least 92 people in 29 states have been infected with a strain of multidrug-resistant salmonella after coming into contact with raw chicken products. No deaths have been reported, but 21 of the sick patients have been hospitalized.
The CDC warned that people could be infected by handling live chickens. When dressing a chicken, whether in a Halloween costume or a sweater, it is easier for a person to come into contact with harmful bacteria that live on poultry, including salmonella.
The agency also warns, "Don't kiss your birds or snuggle them and then touch your face or mouth."
Despite this, Morse said that her chickens will continue to strut their stuff.

A mother and her caregiver son were found dead in their apartment in Queens, New York, after the woman's other son didn't hear from them and asked police to conduct a welfare check.
Their bodies showed no signs of trauma and they found no weapons in the apartment.
Police believe the mother, 93-year-old Hsiang Wang, died after her son, 66-year-old Sam Wang, died of a heart attack, the New York Daily News reports. The mother reportedly had dementia and was in a wheelchair.
She needed a wheelchair to get around and, according to neighbors, suffered from dementia. https://t.co/FthXaysUs1
— New York Daily News (@NYDailyNews) January 22, 2018
Neighbors told the Daily News that both had health issues.
"He took good care of his mother for years. He'd go to the store and buy food. I'm shocked," said Francis Garcia, 71. "He would call the ambulance services to take her to the doctors. I've lived here for 25 years. I've seen him around for 25 years. He really cared for her. It's really sad."
Police arrived at the apartment at about 9:20 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 21. They pronounced the pair dead at the scene of their Forest Hills Home.
Police believe they were dead for at least two days before they were found.

To analyze the news coverage of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, we chose news sources from 4 geographic locations. We studied CNN's coverage of the bill in the US and BBC/Belfast Telegraph's coverage in the UK because of the U.S. and UK's threat to cut aid. We also chose to discuss Nigerian Punch Newspaper/ ThisDay's coverage in Nigeria and New Vision's coverage in Uganda to look at countries that have already outlawed homosexuality.
Two Sides
There is not a lot of variety in the opinions of those supporting LGBTQ rights. They firmly believe the LGBTQ community deserves to be treated equally and that their members in no way deserve punishment for their sexual orientation. They counter the belief that being gay is a choice and that it is something the Western world has brought to Africa.
Those in support of the bill believe that homosexuality is unnatural and "unafrican," that it was brought from the West and is spreading into their country. They claim it goes against their family values and is something from which they need to protect their children. Organizations like UNICEF are accused of trying to recruit children to homosexuality through their involvement in the school system. Allegations of organizations include distributing educational materials supposedly promoting homosexuality and recruiters bribing students to change their sexual orientation. Those against homosexuality also view it as counter to their Christian faith. They also argue against international countries' involvement in Ugandan legislation, claiming Uganda is a democracy and does not need the influence of foreign powers to pass laws.
News Sources
CNN offered sympathetic coverage of the LGBTQ community through the voice of CNN reporters rather than Ugandans.
examples: http://www.cnn.com/2011/12/06/world/us-world-gay-rights/index.html?iref=allsearch, http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/01/29/uganda.gay.activist.funeral/index.html?iref=allsearch
United Kingdom
The UK sources incorporated the prominent role religious leaders have played in the discussion of the bill and included interviews with those opposing homosexuality.
examples: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-17054414, http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/republic-of-ireland/top-cleric-warns-against-demonising-gay-people-15068489.html
These Nigerian sources (Nigeria Punch Newspaper and ThisDay) did not write in support of the bill as one may have assumed. Instead, they pointed out the lack of support for the bill in the Ugandan government and suggested Bahati may revise the bill to make it more lenient.
examples: http://www.punchng.com/news/africa/uganda-denies-backing-anti-gay-bill/, http://www.punchng.com/news/africa/african-leaders-must-respect-gay-rights-ban/
This source gave insight into the belief that human rights organizations are promoting homosexuality and targeting children. It also acknowledged the importance of religious leaders, discussing the power dynamics amongst bishops. The authors of these articles quoted anti-homosexuality opinions, but did not seem to adopt it.
examples: http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/8/12/729779, http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/8/12/675619
*We attempted to find Middle Eastern commentary on the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, but our search of Al Jazeera, Al Hayat, and Al Arabiya only produced one article on the topic.
There was a plethora of videos on the bill, both pro and anti-homosexuality present on YouTube. Click the links below to watch a few videos:
Key Players
President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has expressed his firm stance against homosexuality. However, he has been reported by BBC in 2011 as pulling away from the bill, refusing to fully support it. For more on his views, click here.
David Bahati is the Ugandan member of Parliament who created the Anti-Homosexuality Bill. He is very open about his disapproval of homosexuality and his Christian beliefs. For an interview with him click here.
James Buturo is the Minister for Ethics and Integrity. He is also open about his opinion on the issue, and claims the pro-rights side lies. Click here to learn more.
Pastor Moses Male leads the National Collision Against Homosexuality and Sexual Abuses in Uganda. To hear more, watch the beginning of this video (also linked in the YouTube section).
Giles Muhame edits the Rolling Stone, a Ugandan newspaper that printed the headline "100 Pictures of Uganda's Top Homos" with the caption "Hang Them." This article outed homosexuals and put the in danger of violence. Click here to hear an interview with Muhame.
David Kato was a gay Ugandan activist murdered in his home. His name was one of many printed in the above-mentioned Rolling Stone article. To learn more, click here.
Frank Mugisha is the chairman of Sexual minorities Uganda (SMUG). Click here to watch a debate between Mugisha and Pastor Godfrey Oklori.
President Barak Obama of the United States threatened last year to refuse financial assistance to the government of Uganda if they passed this bill. For a brief clip on Obama's opinion, click here.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been involved in speaking out against hetero-sexism in Uganda. She has been quoted as saying, "Gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights" in addition to "Being gay is not a Western invention. It is a human reality." Click here to hear more.

Hemispheres: Food unites people and promotes a greater understanding of cultures that may be different than our own. Quest strives to provide authentic international offerings that showcase and educate students about flavors from around the world.
Hearth: Everyone loves a home-cooked meal. Hearth aims to deliver just that. Featuring traditional favorite comfort foods, Hearth brings a taste of home to the school menu.
Crave: Nothing complements a great dining experience like a sweet finish to a delicious meal. Quest's dessert offerings are made-from-scratch and baked in-house.
Dash: We understand that classes, work, and athletics can make a student's already busy schedule even busier. That's why Dash provides a variety of hot and cold grab & go items such as yogurt parfaits, protein boxes, sandwiches and wraps, and much more.

Calif. Senate Panel Delays Sugary Drink Warning Label Bill Over Costs
On Monday, the state Senate Appropriations Committee held back a bill (SB 1000) that would require all sodas and other sweetened beverages sold in California to carry a warning label about the possible harmful effects of drinking them, the Los Angeles Times' "PolitiCal" reports (McGreevy, "PolitiCal," Los Angeles Times, 4/28).
The bill would require a warning label be applied to drinks containing 75 calories or more per 12-ounce serving. The label would include warnings about sugar-sweetened beverages contributing to diabetes, obesity and tooth decay (Gorn, "Capitol Desk," California Healthline, 4/10).
The Senate Appropriations committee moved the bill to the suspense file over concerns about its implementation costs.
Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel), the bill's author, said he will try to rework the bill to reduce the $390,000 in immediate enforcement costs before re-introducing the measure for a floor vote.
However, Monning maintained that the bill eventually will reduce long-term costs related to obesity.
The bill is opposed by business groups, such as the California Nevada Soft Drink Association and the California Retailers Association. John Latimer, with CRA, said the bill would "add to consumer confusion" ("PolitiCal," Los Angeles Times, 4/28).This is part of the California Healthline Daily Edition, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

As different plants have different growth periods, the 24 SOLAR GARDEN hand soaps contain extracted oils harvested during the four seasons, an approach that defines the origin and content message of the brand. According to the rules of plant growth and harvesting, the soap series showcases 24 illustrations of plants, such as lemon, chamomile, geranium or ginger. The illustrations were sketched in an attempt to accentuate the product's natural and mellow qualities through rich details and layers. In order to visualise the 24 solar terms, the rules of modern geometry were used to design linear icons that match the various types of soap.

Urban planners often get a bad rap. Their notions of how people want to live, work, recreate and commute often are at odds with reality, sometimes revealing more of an attraction toward what's cool rather than what's practical.
But after a long bicycle ride this past weekend, where I ventured into a part of town I seldom frequent, I had to tip my hat. In the case of South Waterfront, a still emerging neighborhood of high-rise condos and trendy restaurants, I think our city planners have done some fine, if incomplete, work.
Maybe I'm overly influenced by the memory of a sunny, Sunday morning ride, when I cruised from our home over the Broadway Bridge, down to Waterfront Park and past the RiverPlace hotel and shops, and found myself in an area that seems to be evolving into an actual community. But this former brownfield south of downtown appears to be coming together
There was a time when I used to do very long Sunday morning runs in this area, back when it was still an industrial no man's land that was seldom visited by more than runners and cyclists. Now it's blossomed into an upscale area with a network of bike paths, an aerial tram, upgraded tracks for the Portland Streetcar, food carts and popular eateries (Lovejoy Bakery, Little Big Burger, Cha Cha Cha) and a cluster of condominium towers that are actually attracting residents.
Three public universities joined in opening a Collaborative Life Sciences Building last summer and now even "normal" businesses, like H&R Block, are setting up shop.
The area is easy to navigate, as it's essentially one north-sound strip with just a few perpendicular streets and a nice little couplet at the southernmost end.
South Waterfront also will connect to the new Portland-to-Milwaukie light rail bridge when it opens in September. It's a beautifully designed structure and one that I expect will see a lot of traffic. Named Tilikum Crossing, it's designed to carry light rail trains, buses, cyclists, pedestrians and streetcars, but not private vehicles.
The area is still short — way short — on trees, but I noticed several plantings up and down the streets. When they mature, they'll give the area more of a Portland feel.
South Waterfront is the largest urban renewal project in the city's history. And during the depths of the recession, when empty condos were being auctioned at bargain prices, some feared the area would be a colossal failure. But the economic recovery and a few years of patience seems to have helped South Waterfront turn the corner.
Would I want to live here? No, I don't think so. It's too vertical for my taste and I'm not particularly enamored with the location, far from more established residential neighborhoods.
But for a weekend visit? Sure. And if I were a tourist of means, I could see myself hanging out here.
As a taxpayer I'm grateful city planners had a vision to transform a brownfield into a residential-commercial area with potential to contribute greatly to the city's tax base. I hope the succeeding years keep the momentum going. I don't imagine South Waterfront will ever have the appeal of the Pearl District, the city's similarly transformed urban renewal area. But I will readily admit the area is showing signs of tapping its long-term potential.

The Greatest Supporter of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.)
The tenth year after Bi'that1 was a very hard period for Muslims. The respected Abutalib (A.S.) and Lady Khadijah (A.S.) had passed away within a short span of time. Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.)had lost two of his best and kindest supporters both at home and in the society.
Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (A.S.) had a very difficult time as well. She had lost a mother like Khadijah (A.S.) while she was only six years old. However, this was not the only difficulty she had to face; as a matter of fact, every time she would come out of the house, she was faced unpleasant events. She would see the enemies cursing the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.)or even hurting him physically. Nevertheless, she had understood the new situation and despite her young age she had realized that supporting her father was of her new responsibilities. Hence, she became a great contributor and supporter of Islam and Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.).
Once she saw a number of people had gathered around in Masjid al-Haram to plan the murder of Prophet (S.A.W.)Lady Fatimah (A.S.) returned home with tearful eyes, and told her father about the plan; as a result the enemies had failed to carry out their plan. At another time, one of the polytheists, who had apparently come to visit the Prophet (S.A.W.), threw dirt and garbage on the Prophet (S.A.W.)Prophet
Muhammad (S.A.W.), owner of the greatest morality, acted as if nothing had happened, forgave him, and returned home. When Lady Fatimah (A.S.) saw what had happened to her father, ran to him with some water and washed his father's head and face. She began to cry at the harsh act the enemies had done to her father, but the Prophet (S.A.W.)told her:
''O my daughter! Do not cry. Be sure that Allah will protect your father from all evils and will make him successful in his mission.''
At another incident, when some polytheist poured the waste of a slaughtered camel and sheep on the Prophet (S.A.W.)during his prostration, again, it was Lady Fatimah (A.S.) who went to help Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.)with love. She helped her father clean the waste, and with her act caressed her father's soul.
These affectionate moralities of Lady Fatimah (A.S.) was so much that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.)called her ''the mother of her father'' implying the deepness of love and care little Fatimah (A.S.) showed her father.

Felon Who Dodged Three Strikes Sent to Prison For Rape, Murder of Runaway
Posted: Friday, October 8th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
A convicted rapist—who had been eligible for prosecution under California's three-strikes law, but who had been allowed to plea bargain to a lesser sentence—has been given a life sentence for the rape and murder of a homeless runaway in 2007.
The "third strike" in the case of Gilton Beltrand Pitre, 38, was a felony charge for the sale of $5 worth of marijuana to an undercover officer. Previously, he had been convicted of residential burglary in 1994, and rape in 1996. Los Angeles County prosecutors could have pursued a sentence of 25 years to life in prison on the felony drug charge, pursuant to that state's three-strikes law, which was enacted in 1994. Pitre was allowed to plead guilty to a drug crime, however, in exchange for only 32 months in prison, as a result of a policy by District Attorney Steve Cooley, in which prosecutors rarely pursue life sentences for those convicted of minor offenses even when it is their third strike.
Two years later—and just four days after Pitre was released from prison—he raped and strangled Alyssa Gomez, 15, in a Silver Lake motel room.
Gomez, a homeless runaway, had visited the Olive Motel on Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake with Pitre; the next morning, her body was found dumped in an alley behind a nearby restaurant. According to prosecutors, Pitre had had sex with the girl before strangling her. He was found guilty of murder and unlawful sex with a minor under the age of 16 in May 2010, in large part because he was caught on hotel surveillance footage, first entering the hotel with a woman dressed in goth clothes, which were Gomez's trademark outfit; then, hours later, leaving the room carrying a large object wrapped in a comforter. Additionally, Pitre had registered at the motel using his full name and driver's license number.
Earlier this week, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy sentenced Pitre to 75 years to life for murder, 25 years for statutory rape and an additional 10 years for the two prior serious offenses—a total of 110 years in prison. In doing so, she spoke of the security tapes which helped implicate the killer.
"There is no panic. There is no evidence of regret…. She was disposed of like a piece of trash," said Kennedy. "This is someone who can never be rehabilitated."
Kennedy also said that Pitre "needs to be locked up for the rest of his life" because of his "innate hatred for women."
The case has fueled critics of Cooley's policy, saying that it fails to adequately protect society from violent repeat offenders.

What's Involved with Private eye Instruction,
After you have created the key choice to become educated like a "Private Investigator", it won't be considered a solely educational task, nevertheless, the actual "academic aspect" is actually extremely appealing as well as highly suggested, as well as, using jurisdictions, perhaps necessary to a restricted degree.
However the actuality is available how the main "training" can come through employed by (and with) an additional "seasoned Investigator" to be able to obtain useful understanding through "doing as well as following". 1 (1) from the outcomes of this method would go to reasonably as well as virtually displaying a person whether a person actually genuinely possess the "knack" with regard to investigative function.
At some time, as well as, the majority of assuredly "early on", you have to additional your own "self-analysis" in order to reasonably figure out… "why would you like to be a Private eye, inch Differing people choose to adhere to work within "Private Investigation" with regard to various factors. Maybe you have already been enthralled in what you've observed upon tv or even within the films.
Perhaps you're leaving behind work within police force and therefore are "weighing all your options". Or even, you may be merely looking for an entire profession alter as well as believe that work within the "Private Analysis industry" will be well suited for a person.
What ever your own inspiration, Personal Analysis is really a extremely fascinating profession that needs the multiplicity associated with abilities that many individuals in no way obtain the chance to recognize or even make use of. Even though, the isn't almost because thrilling as well as interesting because tv and also the films indicate, this is actually work which fosters satisfaction along with a prosperity associated with possibilities supplied a person are prepared to "do exactly what this takes" to achieve which objective.
Furthermore, you'll have a greater chance associated with achievement in the event that you'll be able to mix your own wish to become Private eye along with a number of your own current abilities, your own history as well as encounter, as well as, a good ultimate choice in order to focus.
Regardless of the particular needs of the specific Condition or even Land, be enough this to express which it will require a person normally 2 (2) in order to 3 (3) many years associated with energetic "hands-on" apprenticeship before you decide to are ready to consider the actual Licensing Examination (which is needed within just about any jurisdiction).
Ensure nevertheless, just before "commencing your own career", that you simply completely seek advice from the right Governmental Government bodies inside your particular legal system to make very sure regarding their unique educational and/or apprenticeship needs, et ing.
Once we formerly handled on (but needing additional clarification right here due to the importance), numerous college students ask regarding whether they ought to, in the really beginning of the research as well as instruction, concentrate seriously on being a particular "type" associated with Private eye.
In the stage a person very first key in the company, it's highly recommended that you don't make an effort to determine or even seriously concentrate on any kind of particular "type" or even specialty-area associated with analysis, but rather have a "generalist" strategy on your instruction as well as apprenticeship.
It'll normally happen, in that procedure, through simple "evolution", that you'll create particular wants, disfavors, pursuits as well as self-knowledge associated with any kind of unique "talent" to be able to guide a person correctly for your "best-case" profession. It is best nevertheless being completely conscious of the actual feasible regions of specialty area, as well as, start to set up individuals pursuits as well as "leanings" in early stages.
Remember, within the "Private Analysis industry" or else… when you discover exactly what it's a person "like in order to do", as well as, you discover that you simply "do this well", assuredly relocate which path… the actual customers, status, trustworthiness as well as financial benefits follows within organic style due to your own (collective) good mindset, self-confidence, higher concepts as well as acquired knowledge.
At the same time, while you move through your own private eye instruction as well as "apprenticeship", become familiar with how you can check out a variety of types of projects as well as instances, as well as, may come in contact with numerous, diverse investigative methods, technical gear as well as "hands-on" abilities employed by the current experts.
This method may inherently supply you the chance to determine your own accurate "professional wants as well as dislikes", in addition to in order to objectively self-assess your own talents, weak point, abilities as well as abilities. Your own private eye instruction time period after that is going to be extremely important inside your ultimate choice in regards to what "field" or even "specialty" you'll adhere to… whether it is inside a business atmosphere, lawful location, inside an insurance provider, a good investigative company, or even, individually.
Whilst not the pre-requisite like a "mandatory condition" in order to being a Private eye, numerous that choose the Personal Analysis location for any profession may have the history within police force, insurance coverage, army or even federal government analysis, or even, actually the actual cleverness neighborhood. Likewise, numerous Personal Researchers tend to be upon the market civilian or even army cops along with specific learning felony as well as municipal investigative methods.
As a result, a few Says or Provinces possibly need (or tend to be initiating) instruction methods which require particular training, the police arrest records examine and also the prosperous conclusion of the created examination, et ing. Once again… seek advice from YOUR OWN particular legal system in the beginning of the initiatives to prevent unneeded "future issues"!
Throughout their responsibilities, a personal Detective might encounter confrontational conditions as well as circumstances, therefore he or she should be each aggressive along with a fast thinker. Likewise, the actual responsibilities of the Private eye may assuredly need interrogation as well as meeting with, therefore great conversation abilities are essential.
Additional Researchers carry out history or even pre-employment inspections, check out pc offences such as piracy, e-mail nuisance as well as identification thievery, which needing exceptional "detail-orientation" abilities.
Typically, it's secure in order to generalize which Personal Researchers execute a excessive quantity of work on abnormal several hours, for example earlier morning, evenings, weekends as well as vacations. Nevertheless, specific projects including pc queries as well as telephone calls might be carried out from a good workplace throughout regular operating several hours. As well as, Researchers carry out the majority of their own function responsibilities, particularly monitoring as well as meeting with, on it's own.
A few Personal Researchers tend to be certified to transport the gun, even though that isn't required generally. Within "real life", the majority of function carried out through Personal Researchers isn't any much more gorgeous or even harmful than the usual day at the neighborhood Division associated with Cars or even Taxes Assessor's Workplace.

Easy Two Pot Dinner
Let's talk easy nutrition. As I've said before, I like to cook meals that take little effort and time but provide a big pay off in both flavour and nutrition. This is one of those meals.
A cup of brussel sprouts provides 9% of your potassium, 13% of your fibre and a whopping 124% of your vitamin C for the day. A half bulb of fennel? Another 13% potassium, 14% fibre and about 5% each of Calcium and Magnesium as well. And we haven't even gotten into the apple and potatoes yet.
As for the sausages, I buy a brand of turkey sausages that is extra lean and nets out at 90 calories with 12 grams of protein per link. Not too shabby for store bought sausage!
- Turkey sausages (or other sausage of choice)
- Brussel sprouts (sliced in half)
- Fennel (half a bulb, sliced)
- Mini red or yellow potatoes (sliced in half)
- Apple (cut into small pieces)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cayenne to taste
Put the brussel sprouts and fennel on a baking sheet in the oven at 350. Boil the pototoes until just tender, drain then return to the turned off element. The heat will help the last of the water to evaporate. Meanwhile, start browning the sausages in a large pan big enough to eventually hold all the ingredients.
When the sausages are browned, but not quite cooked through, take them out of the pan and set aside. Add a bit of EVOO to the same pan, transfer the potatoes to it and cook until they get crispy. Take the veggies out of the oven (remember to turn the stove off!), add them to the potatoes and cook for another five minutes or so.
While those are cooking, cut the sausages diagnolly. I cut mine a little big (see the picture below) and would actually recommend going smaller. Once the veggies and potatoes have crisped up, remove them from the pan and put them back on the baking sheet to keep warm in the oven. The sausages go back into the pan along with the apple and a splash more EVOO if required. In about five minutes the apples will be soft and the sausages cooked. At that point you can add in the veggie/potato mixture and sautee together for a few minutes to let the flavours combine.
Pair with a quick spinach or spring mix salad and BOOM! You're eating a meal that is outrageously good and takes very little effort. Enjoy!
