Being Trans S02 Ep. 12 Questions and Suggestions
As promised here are the links from today's show. www.wpath.org www.patreon.com A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
January 27, 2020
Being Trans S02 Ep.11 A very good question
Sometimes a very good question comes along that has been asked. Yes, I may have addressed it in the past but it is a question that evolves over time and changes organically. Plus with so many different shows I have done, it is one that needs another look. It is about coming out to a person's parents, but this person has very religious parents. I think you should take the time and enjoy this show. This is one of the biggest concerns facing LGBT+ youth and it is also one of the biggest factors in LGBT+ suicide rates the way parents respond. As always I could use your sponsorship at Patreon for as low as $3 a month. So please click HERE, thank you.

As for the park being clean, that's ALL of the parks in Japan. You can't even find a trash can but they're all so clean!!!!
Basically all of Japan. I ran into the problem of finding a trash can several times after finishing up a cup of coffee. I got to the point where I'd just make sure it was completely empty & keep it in my backpack til I either found one or got back to my Airbnb. It's crazy how clean Japan is compared to NYC or London while also having like 99% less bins.

I read with horror recently what my friend and colleague Lynsey Addario experienced after being held by rag-tag soldiers in Libya. Addario, a talented photojournalist whom I've worked alongside in various conflict zones, was captured along with three other New York Times journalists in Ajdabiya on March 15 and subjected to treatment that is nothing short of terrifying.
Her ankles were bound with her own shoelaces, and she was punched in the face by a soldier who laughed as she cried. She – like the three men she was with – endured beatings, as well as constant groping until being transferred to the Libyan authorities in Tripoli days later. "Every man who came in contact with us basically felt every inch of my body short of what was under my clothes," she told the Times after her release.
The events are all the more disturbing coming just over a month after the brutal attack on CBS reporter Lara Logan in Cairo's Tahrir Square. Although that was by far the most extreme contemporary example of an attack on a female reporter that didn't involve a kidnapping or murder, many other journalists – including a number of Egyptians – have spoken out about "less serious" experiences with harassment and molestation throughout the revolution.
Courage to speak up
All of which makes us wonder whether attacks – both physical and sexual – on women covering conflict are on the rise. Probably, though it may just be that we're not keeping quiet about it anymore. The Committee to Protect Journalists notes that in most instances the victims don't want to be identified because of the stigma attacks carry. For that, we should be grateful to Logan and Addario for acknowledging the truth of what happened to them.
I don't know if early journalism pioneers like Nelly Bly and Martha Gellhorn – or Edith Lederer and the other women who covered the Vietnam War – experienced the kind of threats and challenges that women of our generation face, but I feel thankful for the trail they blazed. By the time I was covering Afghanistan and Iraq for this newspaper, as I did between 2001 and 2005, I looked around and noted with great satisfaction that about half of the correspondents covering the story were women.
The arrival of women in what was once seen as a boys' bastion, however, is not necessarily matched or welcomed in the places we cover. There are swaths of the globe that are not in sync with the post-feminist realities of the West, though perhaps the dissatisfaction with that lag is one factor fueling the fires of revolution. In almost every place where the Arab Spring has sprung, one can find women (and enlightened men) pushing for change. But this longing for liberation still mingles with a disdain for liberal values that we Western women represent.
When working in Afghanistan and Iraq, I would sometimes try to travel under the radar screen by dressing vaguely local – or at least covering my hair with a scarf. It worked, and luckily, I was almost never harassed. I remember seeing a Lebanese colleague in the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul, who promptly demanded to know what I was doing walking around with my hair covered. For her, a secular Muslim, not bowing to religious dress codes was a point of defiance against oppression. For me, it was just about wanting to stay safe.
Hard to blend in
But you can't blend in when you're carrying heavy cameras. A photographer can't shoot a civil war in a full-length abaya. And a woman like Logan is never going to blend into a Middle Eastern crowd. As a result, most of us come as we are, hoping to be perceived as respectful but not trying to hide our foreignness, which might only increase the chances of being accused of being a spy. Sometimes that means dressing much like the men – in jeans, hiking boots, and ski-jackets that travel well.
But this, I've come to realize, leads men in some of the places we cover to see us as something of a third gender. We are not men, but we are not really women either, because – the thinking goes – any decent woman would be at home with her family, not running around in a time of chaos.
This might go some way to explain how a Middle Eastern culture that is so protective of women can simultaneously have complete disregard for us.
Whether in the frenzy of mob behavior or in minds fogged by fundamentalist thinking, a foreign women is suddenly not really a woman – not one deserving of the same respect as a local one. The real breaking of norms in which foreign women were considered off-limits for violence in the Middle East began not with a journalist, but with the kidnap and eventual murder by Iraqi insurgents of Irish aid worker Margaret Hassan in 2004.
Foreigners seen as fair game
Local women are by no means immune from sexual harassment, and if anything, appear to be facing more of it than ever before. In a 2008 survey, approximately 2 out of 3 Egyptian men admitted to sexually harassing women, and about 8 in 10 Egyptian women said they've experienced such harassment; few turned to the police. A more recent survey from The Population Council showed that the overwhelming majority of Egyptian young men and youths said that a woman who is dressed "provocatively" and gets harassed has it coming to her. Many female Egyptian journalists covering the protests complained of being grabbed – but never on the scale of what happened to Logan, whose beauty and foreignness somehow made her fair game.
The erasing of red lines is not limited to the Middle East. But this happens to be the region in perhaps the greatest flux, and in which the clash of liberal and traditional values is today most palpable.
The Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia became the Jan. 25 Revolution in Egypt, and the spark now burns, with different levels of intensity, across the Middle East. The story is still unfolding, and we need our most talented writers and photographers to cover it. I can only hope that the Arab leaders and other elites' embarrassment over how some of our most serious media professionals have been treated in recent weeks will trickle down to the people who still need to learn a simple lesson: Don't shoot – or molest – the messenger.

Shop 19 Polished Oxfords That Scream Summer Fun
We're all about Summer fun, but sometimes that's difficult to do in heels. That's where the borrowed-from-the-boys oxford comes in. The lower-heel profile makes them comfortable, but don't fret, they don't lose an ounce of cool. Whether the silhouette is classic (think brogue detailing and a patent finish) or culls fashion-forward accents like metallic shine, exotic texture, leather cutouts, or colorblocking, there's certainly a more dynamic way to interpret (read: wear) the flat oxford look. Luckily, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and even Zara have all crafted their own versions to appeal to a handful of style personalities. As for execution? Remember that these shoes work for day and night — and as long as you show a little ankle (at the very least), you're good to go. Click on for 19 of our favorite Summer oxford picks now.

Don Jones, Ph.D., has worked in the hospital wellness and fitness industry for more than 20 years. He has also served as the director of rehab services for Sentara Hampton General Hospital. Don has worked for the YMCA and has extensive experience with parks and recreation departments. He has held such varied positions as athletic director, physical director, personal trainer, exercise physiologist and executive director. This extensive experience has enabled him to look at the club industry from a variety of perspectives. He currently serves as the executive director of The Fitness Centre & Day Spa at Florida Hospital Celebration Health and can be reached at [email protected]
By Don Jones, Ph.D.
I vividly recall the time when the term, "day spa," didn't exist in the fitness center lexicon. I also recall converting part of a meeting room into a massage room and later, due to the success of this endeavor, converting our child-care studio into two massage rooms and a waiting area.
It wasn't until I arrived at my current job as executive director of The Fitness Centre & Day Spa at Florida Hospital Celebration Health that we began using the term. Actually, it was one year after my arrival that we convinced the hospital to add the words day spa to The Fitness Centre. That was five years ago.
Like Melinda Minton pointed out in her Sept. 10 Step By Step column, owners have to be careful about allowing their day spa to suffer from the stepchild syndrome. One way to avoid that pitfall is to hire a management company that has expertise in the day spa industry. This column will point out some of the pros and cons of such an arrangement.
Industry expertise. I hired a management company in 2001 after I concluded that, collectively, we simply did not have the expertise to continue managing this area ourselves and make a reasonable profit. I knew the reputation of the individuals involved with the management company and was aware of the other facilities they were managing at the time. Hence, it made sense to turn over the operation to the experts so that I could concentrate on our core business—memberships. In hiring the management company, I was confident that they could make the right hires, promote the service line and make intelligent choices on which retail products we should sell.
Although many fitness centers try to educate their front-desk staff on the different treatments and products, it has been my experience that it is best to have the industry experts talk with the clients. There are some questions we just cannot answer as well as they can.
Human resources. Besides not having to take the time to interview multiple candidates for day spa positions, we were also able to forego having to pay benefits and FICA for these individuals. That task was now the responsibility of the management company.
NOTE: Be aware of the IRS rules governing independent contractors. What I'm referring to above is a management company with whom we have a contract. Therefore their company is responsible for the hiring, paying benefits and the FICA expenses.
Guaranteed income. You can structure the contract in such a way that your club is guaranteed a set amount of income each month with the potential to share income over and above a certain amount. We have this in our contract, and it has helped our bottom line tremendously.
Marketing and promotions. It's hard enough to figure out what to promote in the fitness center industry. To me at least, the day spa industry is a different animal and requires the expertise of those involved with it on a daily basis to know what the customer wants.
We have found our management company to be more than willing to share advertising expenses, and, in addition, they dedicate someone to attend luncheons and community functions to build awareness about the day spa and build a rapport with the community residents.
Lack of control/oversight. Without a doubt, you give up some control when you turn over your operation to a management company. Sometimes this can cause problems, especially if they are not well versed in your club's philosophy regarding customer service and/or policies/procedures. So, make sure that you select a management company that you know fits your niche and treats customers the way your company likes for them to be treated.
They are not your employees. Since they are not your employees, it may be more difficult to get the day spa employees ingrained into your ways of doing things. However, we have been able to overcome those issues by making them part of our family. For example, they always come to our staff meetings, and I meet regularly with the day spa manager.
What if they leave?Yes, that is a real possibility. Fortunately for us, we have had the same management company for the past five years. They are happy and so are we. They could break the contract and leave, and, in reality, there would be very little we could do about it. However, the same thing could happen if you hired your own day spa manager and controlled the operations yourself. The manager could simply walk out.
Your club is bound by a contract. Just like the above, your club could also break the contract. However, it is more likely that your club would suffer more by doing this due to the negative press that could follow. Hence, the club is really held to a higher standard.
We have addressed the above by adding a 90-day no-fault kick-out clause to our contract. With this clause, either party may revoke the contract with a 90-day notice for any reason. That at least gives both parties some comfort level in case things go south for either party.
If you are like me, and many others, and you do not feel you have the expertise to run a day spa, consider a management company. But before you do, check the pros and cons of such an arrangement so that there will be no surprises.

Hiatt programs offer innovation in job-hunting
Just In Time Job Fair and Practice Interview Days boost student skills
The United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate fell from 7.7 percent in February to 7.6 percent in March, the lowest in four years, but fewer than 90,000 jobs were added, causing economists to question the health of the job market.
With less than two months remaining in the semester, it also prompted students to ask, "What does this mean for me?"
"We know this can be an anxious time for students. It is only natural to be concerned about their job prospects, so we encourage them to be creative and resourceful about their search and guide them through that process," said Joseph Du Pont, dean of the Hiatt Career Center. "At the same time, we know that we have seen an increase in the number of employers reaching out to us to hire Brandeis students this year."
The Class of 2012 echoed that sentiment in its First Destination Survey. According to the survey, 95 percent of the Class of 2012 was employed, attending graduate school or engaged in other meaningful activities within six months of graduation.
The recent Just In Time Job and Internship Fair and Practice Interview Days are examples of innovative ways in which the Hiatt Career Center is supplementing traditional career development activities to help the Class of 2013 do just as well – or better.
On April 9, Hiatt and other career centers at Brandeis co-sponsored the Just In Time event, which was attended by over 60 employers and more than 500 students, and culminated in "on the spot" interviews immediately after the fair.
The evolving nature of job searching goes well beyond changing the nature of traditional career fairs. In addition to working directly with employers, Hiatt is collaborating with alumni, friends of Brandeis, regional alumni clubs and parents to identify opportunities for students and prepare them for the job market.
"The world of recruiting is changing," said Du Pont, "and students, the university, and our career centers need to embrace these changes to serve the career needs of our students".
Some of these changes will require major shifts in how career centers engage with employers through technology. Others can be simpler, but just as effective. For example, in the days immediately prior to the career fair, alumni and employers came back to campus to help students improve their interview skills and better articulate their interests and experience in a low-pressure environment at Practice Interview Days.
Anna Kaufman '10, Small Business Center Consultant in the Rotational Leadership Development Program at Sun Life Financial, was one of the alums who returned to campus to help students prepare.
"It is talent and passion that will set students apart. [As students] there is this desire to really feel involved and be engaged, and be a part of the community… I think that's a huge differentiator that sets Brandeis students apart," Kaufman said.
Etta Lappin Davis '73, principal at Etsky Consulting, also returned to campus to help students. "There is a higher level of optimism that allows us to feel like we're through the worst of [the economic downturn] now," she said, "but the practice interview days allow me to help students be more prepared in this market."
"I found my practice interview very helpful," said Health: Science, Society and Policy Program (HSSP) senior Liyinzi Zhou. "I now know my weaknesses and strengths, and how to improve for a real interview."
"I'm really excited about what Hiatt's doing for me as a student," said Sydney Applebaum, senior psychology and English major, who attended the Just In Time Job and Internship Fair. "I feel more confident in speaking with employers and to follow-up on these opportunities."
"As a university and career center, it is part of our mission to help students develop skills that will help them succeed professionally, and in life," said Du Pont.
Visit the Hiatt Career Center to learn more about how to help engage students and alumni. Brandeis provides free career services for life to alumni; please contact Hiatt to schedule an appointment with an alumni career counselor.

Arvada Center's 2013-14 lineup includes patrons' choices
The people have spoken and will be well represented when the Arvada Center kicks off its 2013-2014 theater season in September. It's deemed its upcoming, seven-play slate "Patron Appreciation Season" and the organization wastes little time proving it when it opens the season with "Camelot."
The Lerner and Loewe classic was one of two musicals named by the theater's patrons in a poll asking them what they'd like to see produced. "Tarzan" was the other and will end the season in July 2014. The Disney musical is one of two regional premieres. The musical drama "End of the Rainbow" about Judy Garland's rise and fall will also receive a regional premiere.
"I'm especially pleased that our patrons had a voice in this year's play choices," said Philip Sneed, who left the Colorado Shakespeare Festival to become Arvada's executive director in January.
"Camelot is one of my favorite musicals, and while I can't claim any credit for its selection, I couldn't be happier that we will be producing it during my first full season on the job."
The Arvada center continues its collaboration with the highly regarded Creede Repertory Company with a production of Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 Days." Read more…

Fujifilm X-E1: Introduction
Over the past couple of years Fujifilm's premium quality 'X' range has elevated the brand no end in the eyes of enthusiast photographers. The first model in the series – the X100 – combined retro rangefinder looks with a cutting edge 'hybrid' viewfinder to great effect, and this was soon followed by the smaller but equally as stylish X10.
Earlier this year Fuji followed the X100 and X10 up with the launch of
the X range's first compact system camera – the X-Pro1. With its
rangefinder-inspired design, hybrid viewfinder and proprietary X-Trans
CMOS sensor technology, the X-Pro1 won near universal praise for the
intuitive handling and ultra-sharp image quality it is capable of
producing. That said, as a premium model the X-Pro1 doesn't come cheap
and even ten months on from its launch the X-Pro1 is still commanding
body-only prices of around £1,180. This is where the X-E1, with its
£730-ish body-only price comes in.
Broadly speaking the X-E1 is aimed at broadening the appeal of Fuji's X-series CSC range. The X-E1 borrows much from the X-Pro1, but packs it into a slightly smaller and more affordable body. Is this enough to tempt enthusiast photographers? Let's take a closer look and find out…
Fujifilm X-E1: Features
One of the things that most impressed us about the X-Pro1 was its APS-C sized X-Trans CMOS sensor, and the good news is that the X-E1 uses the very same chip. Fuji's X-Trans sensor differs from regular CMOS sensors in that it uses a unique colour filter arrangement. While the majority of CMOS sensors employ a traditional Bayer filter array to decode colour information, one inherent problem with the Bayer arrangement is that it produces undesirable aliasing effects such as moiré patterning. This problem has traditionally been solved by placing an anti-aliasing filter in front of the sensor, which eliminates the artefacts but results in a minor loss of critical sharpness. Fuji's X-Trans sensor, however, uses a unique array of red, green and blue pixels that aren't arranged in a repetitive order. This allows the sensor to minimize moiré and false colour without the need for an anti-aliasing filter, which in turn delivers noticeably sharper images.
Elsewhere, the XE-1 shares the same dual-core EXR Pro image processor that's used in the X-Pro1, with a standard ISO range that runs from 200-6400, but which can be further expanded to an ISO equivalent of 100-25,600. Continuous shooting speed clocks in at 6fps, although this can be lowered to 3fps should that be preferable.
The X-E1 offers JPEG and Raw (.RAF format) capture at various increments up to 16MP, with a maximum output of 4896 x 3264 pixels in the native 3:2 aspect. On top of this the X-E1 also offers a useful Motion Panorama mode, whereby the camera will automatically stitch multiple images together as you pan it in a predetermined direction to produce a single ultra-wide image of up to 7680 x 2160 pixels. Last but not least, the X-E1 can also record video up to a maximum quality setting of 1080p Full HD at 24fps.
Exposure modes extend to the regular manual and semi-manual quartet of Program, Aperture-priority, Shutter-priority and full Manual. As with the X-Pro1, however, there are no built-in digital effects filters although you can choose to shape the look of your images by applying one of the seven Film Simulation modes. In keeping with other Fuji cameras, these aim to replicate the look and feel of old Fujifilm 35mm film stock with, for example, Velvia offering plenty of saturation in contrast to the much more muted Astia. Those looking for a safe middle ground will probably find themselves using the Provia setting more often than not.
As might be expected, the X-E1 uses the same 'X' lens-mount as the X-Pro1. At present there are five dedicated X-mount lenses, which are available in the following combinations: 18mm f/2 prime, 35mm f/1.4 prime, 60mm f/2.4 prime, a new 14mm f/2.8 prime and an 18-55mm f/2.8-4 zoom that will be sold as part of a kit from X-series stockists. Given the APS-C dimensions of the X-E1's sensor all of the aforementioned lenses need to have a 1.5x focal length multiplier applied in order to work out their 35mm focal length equivalent. For example, the 18mm prime offers the same field of view as a 24mm lens would on a full-frame DSLR.
The new 18-55mm kit lens looks to be a smart choice of kit lens. Not only is the build quality very good, but also the relatively fast maximum aperture of f/2.8-4 makes it highly flexible, while the built-in OIS image stabilisation system offers the equivalent of four stops of anti-shake protection. Given the 18-55mm kit zoom's variable aperture the aperture ring at its base is no longer marked with specific f-stop values. Instead the ring rotates continuously, with each click round representing a third-stop change. A dedicated switch on the side of the lens is used to toggle between Automatic and User-defined aperture control should you want to take direct control over aperture settings in either Shutter-priority or Manual mode.
On the back of the X-E1 you'll find a fixed 2.8in, 460K-dot LCD monitor. While this is the same that's found on the X100 it's somewhat smaller and much less detailed than the 3in/1,230K-dot display used by the X-Pro1. Unlike the X-Pro1 though, the X-E1 does offer a built-in pop-up flash with a GN7 rating. Should you want a little more power then you'll find a standard hot-shoe on the top-plate that can be used to attach compatible flashguns.
One big difference between the X-Pro1 and the X-E1 is the viewfinder. Whereas the X-Pro1 offers a 'hybrid' viewfinder that can be toggled between optical and electronic options, the X-E1's viewfinder is purely electronic. Thankfully though, Fujifilm has seen fit to improve on the X-Pro1's 1.44m-dot LCD EVF, fitting the X-E1 with a 2.36m-dot OLED unit instead.

SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine — Ukraine's Crimean peninsula declared itself an independent nation Monday after its residents voted overwhelmingly to secede and try to join Russia, while US and European Union diplomats discussed sanctions against Russia for backing the referendum.
Ukraine's political turmoil has become Europe's most severe security crisis in years, and tensions are high since Russian troops seized control of Crimea two weeks ago. Large amounts of Russian troops are also massed near the border with Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine, which has sharp political differences with the country's new government in Kiev.
The US, EU and Ukraine's new government do not recognize the referendum held Sunday in Crimea, saying it violates both Ukrainian and international norms. Moscow, however, considers the vote legitimate, and Russian President Vladimir Putin was to address both houses of parliament Tuesday on the Crimean issue.
The Crimean parliament declared that all Ukrainian state property on the Black Sea peninsula will be nationalized and become the property of the Crimean Republic. Lawmakers also asked the United Nations and other nations to recognize it and began work on setting up a central bank with money from Russia.
Crimean lawmakers said they were flying to Moscow later Monday to discuss annexation by Russia.
Russia is expected to face sanctions from the US and Europe for backing the Crimean referendum, which could also encourage rising pro-Russian sentiment in Ukraine's east and lead to further divisions in the nation of 46 million.
Moscow, meanwhile, called on Ukraine to become a federal state as a way of resolving the polarization between Ukraine's western regions — which favor closer ties with the 28-nation EU — and its eastern areas, which have long ties to Russia.
In a statement Monday, Russia's Foreign Ministry urged Ukraine's parliament to call a constitutional assembly that could draft a new constitution to make the country federal, handing more power to its regions. It also said the country should adopt a "neutral political and military status," a demand reflecting Moscow's concern about the prospect of Ukraine joining NATO.
Russia is also pushing for Russian to become Ukraine's state language.
There was no immediate comment from Ukraine's new government, which emerged after pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych fled to Russia after three months of protests that culminated in deadly clashes.
Reflecting the rising tensions, the Ukrainian parliament approved the president's order for a partial armed forces mobilization of up to 20,000 people.
In Brussels, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said the West must now retaliate.
"We need to show solidarity with Ukraine and therefore Russia leaves us no choice," Sikorski told reporters in Brussels. "The (annexation) of Crimea cannot rest without a response from the international community."

Chrissy Teigen took to Instagram Tuesday to share the very first picture of her newborn daughter, Luna. The sweet snapshot shows the new mom sitting outside staring at her little one, who is relaxing in her famous mama's arms.
The supermodel flashes a smile at her daughter, giving us all the feels in this cute mother-daughter moment. "Hi my lulu," Teigen captioned the picture. And while we have yet to see little Luna's face, we can already tell that our assumptions of her cuteness being through the roof are completely validated.
Teigen and husband John Legend announced on Sunday morning that they welcomed their baby girl into the world on Thursday, and have dived head-first into a whole new world full of sleep deprivation, dirty diapers and absolute joy.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"John and Chrissy are in such a joyful place with their healthy baby girl Luna," a source close to the new mom recently told E! News. "They are surrounded by family and close friends. Chrissy and John can't stop gushing over Luna. She is perfect!"
And while we've only gotten a glimpse at their little bundle of joy, it seems like she's the perfect mix of her famous parents. "Luna looks like a mini Chrissy and has some of John's features. Luna has cute round cheeks and looks like a baby model already," the insider explains, but added, "They are not looking to get her into modeling anytime soon."

Werner, Craig, et al. "African American Poetry." Salem Press Encyclopedia of Literature, 2017. EBSCOhost,
Double Consciousness
The struggle for freedom—social, psychological, and aesthetic—is the distinguishing attribute of African American poetry from its origins during slavery through its pluralistic flowering in the twentieth century. Although the impact of the struggle has only intermittently been simple or direct, it has remained a constant presence, both for writers concentrating directly on the continuing oppression of the black community and for those forging highly individualistic poetic voices not primarily concerned with racial issues.
Generally, two basic "voices" characterize the African American poetic sensibility. First, black poets attempting to survive in a literary market dominated by white publishers and audiences have felt the need to demonstrate their ability to match the accomplishments of white poets in traditional forms. From the couplets of Phillis Wheatley through the sonnets of Claude McKay to the modernist montages of Robert Hayden to the rap and hip-hop stylings of Queen Latifah, Public Enemy, Ice-T, Mos Def, Tupac Shakur, and KRS-One, African American poets have mastered the full range of voices associated with the evolving poetic mainstream. Second, black poets have been equally concerned with forging distinctive voices reflecting both their individual sensibilities and the specifically African American cultural tradition.
This dual focus within the African American sensibility reflects the presence of what W. E. B. Du Bois identified as a "double-consciousness" that forces the black writer to perceive himself or herself as both an "American" and a "Negro." The greatest African American poets—Langston Hughes, Sterling A. Brown, Gwendolyn Brooks, Robert Hayden, Amiri Baraka, Maya Angelou, Rita Dove, Yusef Komunyakaa, and Kevin Powell—draw on this tension as a source of both formal and thematic power, helping them to construct a poetry that is at once unmistakably black and universally resonant.

| 11.4°C Belfast
Nick Clegg was accused of a "patronising" attitude to critics of the Government's welfare reforms by a former Liberal Democrat minister, who said the system was leaving people "destitute".
The Deputy Prime Minister accused the Archbishop of Westminster, the Most Rev Vincent Nichols, of exaggerating the effects of the coalition's welfare reforms.
But Lib Dem MP Sarah Teather said Mr Clegg's intervention was not "very helpful" or "well informed" as she backed the Archbishop's stance.
The Roman Catholic Archbishop, who is set to be made a cardinal, said it was a "disgrace" that in such a wealthy country there were people who could not afford to feed themselves.
Mr Clegg responded by saying: " I think that to say that the safety net has been removed altogether is an exaggeration, it is not right."
But on BBC2's Newsnight Ms Teather said it was "r ather a patronising response from my leader" which was "not very helpful and not, in my view, very well informed either".
The Brent Central MP added: "If I think about the experience of a lot of my constituents I'm afraid I'm seeing far too many people who are made destitute and put into severe poverty by the benefit changes.
"For example I had a woman where the whole of the last trimester of her pregnancy she had no money whatsoever.
"I had another case where somebody was sanctioned for failing to turn up to an appointment when she was having surgery for cancer.
"So I'm afraid the Archbishop's criticism this week really chimes with my own experience."
She said Iain Duncan Smith's universal credit agenda of simplifying the system and making work pay had been "cut against" by budget cuts and "directly political interventions that are more about trying to demonstrate whose side we are on rather than really about helping individuals get back into work".
Tory MP Steve Baker praised the Work and Pensions Secretary as a "deeply moral man" but acknowledged there were problems with the welfare system.
He said: "The clergy are right to speak up for the poor, of course, but I don't think it was right when the Archbishop said that the welfare state had been torn away. I don't think that stands up to scrutiny.
"We are still paying jobseeker's allowance, we are still paying the pension, the health service is still there.
"But is it true the welfare state is failing people and leaving them destitute? Well I'm afraid it is and the bureaucracy is always inefficient and it's not a way of dispensing kindness. "
Tory MP Nadhim Zahawi defended the welfare changes on BBC Radio 4's Any Questions: "I can tell you, from my family's own experience of being on welfare, that one of the hardest things to do is to motivate yourself to wake up in the morning, have a shave, have a shower and actually go out and actually look for work.
"And actually we need a welfare system that supports people who want to go out and find a job and try and keep a job down.
"The job centres have a very clear instruction that sanctioning should not be a first resort, it should be a last resort. People are able to challenge a sanction.
"And of course the job centres under this Government have been allowed to signpost people to food banks. I think that's an important change to the system."
He added: "My position is to make sure that the job centre staff and people listening to this programme know that there is a contract between people going looking for work and the state, and that contract is a two-way contract.
"When you are in work if you decide not to turn up for work there are consequences attached to that. I think that is important to also remember, because we need to change that culture."

Transition Study
A Transition Study is defined as an evaluation of the condition of the property at the time the Board or Management Company takes it over from the Developer.
Typically, one is concerned with whether all elements are complete, if construction was completed in compliance with plans and specifications, appropriate approvals were obtained, and that there are no construction defects or developing concerns. The purpose of the Transition Study is therefore to determine if the project is complete and reasonably consistent with the relevant construction documents and regulatory approvals. The result of our study will recommend if the newly formed association should accept the complex as is, with conditions, or not accept it until certain work is done.
Our work will include the following:
- Review all available construction documentation.
- Review reasonably available regulatory/municipal approval.
- Discuss the project with current management company and/or staff.
- Review the electrical, mechanical, structural, site, and life safety systems for their reasonable compliance with acceptable construction standards.
- Review and evaluate the exterior of the entire building, including the exterior façade, roof system, and common areas as they relate to future maintenance and repair issues.
- Review and evaluate the site for any future maintenance and repair issues. This would include the review of the following:
- Adequacy of drainage systems
- Adequacy of exterior lighting
- Other relevant conditions
- Develop a draft report, including estimates for any work needed, for the association to review and comment on.
- Develop a final report for the building, discussing the various items evaluated with regard to their current condition and expected future performance. Our report will also address issues and concerns relative to common area elements that were brought up to you during your review of the draft report. Associated with this plan would be the final version of our estimates and our recommendations for:
- Accept complex as is,
- Accept with conditions, or
- Decline to accept until certain work is done.
- We will provide five copies of our complete report and one copy of a condensed "Owners Summary" for your use.
- We will be available for meetings to discuss our findings with the Board of Directors or full membership.
