Rape--it is probably the most misunderstood of violent crimes. Only two to five percent of rapists are ever convicted and when an accusation of rape is made, the victim often becomes the focus of attention. Unfortunately, one prototypical conceptualization--a madman who waits for his next victim with a weapon in hand--is still prevalent. Most rapes, however, are committed by someone the victim knows. Using theoretical, empirical, journalistic, and anecdotal sources, Rape: The Misunderstood Crime synthesizes the most current research available on this topic from a psychological perspective. Stranger rape, date rape, prevailing attitudes toward rape, the rape victim at trial, and negative reactions to the rape victim are explored. Allison and Wrightsman conclude with a look at rape prevention.
Rape: The Misunderstood Crime is an excellent resource for professionals and students of psychology, sociology, education, social work, criminal justice, and law who seek to dispel "rape myths" and wish to better understand the nature and dynamics of both the rapist and the victim.
"This is an excellent resource book for professionals, and students of psychology, sociology, education, social work etc. on how to dispel ''rape myths'' and for developing a better understanding of the dynamics of the rapist and victim."
--The Hindustan Times
"The authors provide a thorough, well-written review of research on rape conducted over the last twenty years, including an extensive bibliography. . . . It is well-written, and should prove a valuable addition to the limited number of textbooks available in the area."
"A comprehensive review of what is known about rape. The authors consider all forms of rape including stranger rape, spousal rape, and acquaintance rape. Sections focus on attitudes toward rape and rape victims, reactions of rape victims, legal issues, treatment, and prevention. The scope of the book is broad and coverage of issues and topics is extensive and thorough. . . . The text is smooth and relatively easy to follow throughout. . . . Recommended for all levels."
"Some books arrive in my office and receive very little attention. It is very telling that as soon as this book arrived, it was snatched up by a member of my staff who then passed it along to a graduate student, who passed it along to another graduate student, who. . . . When it came time for me to review the book for this journal, I had to send out a search party and wrest it away from someone who ''just needed it for a few more days.'' I fought off the hordes of graduate students and suggested that they may want to invest in a copy for themselves. Rape: The Misunderstood Crime is not a book for the general public. It is a book for professionals, particularly researchers and teachers. However, it could also be used as a textbook for use within psychology, sociology, or criminology courses that focus on crime. This book is a scholarly review of the range of research on the topic of rape. . . . It is a well-written book, both readable and well organized. The authors, Allison & Wrightsman, not only make sense of some confusing areas of research, but they also provide insightful critique of the flaws of the research reviewed and the implications of these flaws. . . . I recommend it for basic background reading for those who are working on the topic of rape or who work with related populations. Enough said. There are two people waiting to borrow my copy."

The cost of routine eye exams and prescription eyewear can be of real concern, especially for large families. In many cases, vision insurance can lower these annual expenses.
A vision insurance policy is not the same as health insurance. Regular health insurance plans protect you against financial losses due to unexpected eye injuries or disease. Vision insurance, on the other hand, is a wellness benefit designed to provide routine eye care, prescription eyewear and other vision-related services at a reduced cost.
Because we provide both medical and routine eye care, we accept a number of insurance plans to help cover the cost depending on your individual needs. Here are just some of the plans that we accept:
We do accept other plans as well, so if you do not see your plan listed here, please give us a call and we would be happy to assist you. Our staff is also always available to answer any questions regarding your benefits.
Our clinics are dedicated to providing our patients state-of-the-art eye care of uncompromising quality, with personalized attention to each patient's needs.
A thorough eye examination demands time and care, and as our patient you will receive the benefit of an unhurried and careful comprehensive eye exam.

Eye care professionals specialize in understanding how the human eye really works, as well as diseases and conditions that affect your vision—many of which do not always have obvious symptoms. Eye doctors know how age and risk factors affect vision over time for people both young and old. They understand the benefits and features of corrective lenses, both as eyeglass lenses and contact lenses.

A new study, published in The Optical Society, reveals that an endoscope as thin as a human hair has been developed that can image the activity of neurons in the brains of living mice. The ultra-thin structure of the endoscope enables it to reach deep into the brain, giving researchers access to areas that cannot be seen with microscopes or other types of endoscopes.
"In addition to being used in animal studies to help us understand how the brain works, this new endoscope might one day be useful for certain applications in people," said Shay Ohayon, who developed the device as a postdoctoral researcher in James DiCarlo's lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The new endoscope is based on an optical fiber just 125 microns thick. Because the device is five to ten times thinner than the smallest commercially available microendoscopes, it can be pushed deeper into the brain tissue without causing significant damage.
"With further development, the new microendoscope could be used to image neuron activity in previously inaccessible parts of the brain such as the visual cortex of primate animal models," said Ohayon. "It might also be used to study how neurons from different regions of the brain communicate with each other."
The new microendoscope is based on a multimode optical fiber, which can carry different multiple beams of light at the same time. When light enters the fiber, it can be manipulated to generate a tiny spot at the other end, and can be moved to different positions on the tissue without moving the fiber.
Scanning the tiny spot across the sample allows it to excite fluorescent molecules used to label neuron activity. As the fluorescence from each spot travels back through the fiber, an image of neuron activity is formed.
"To achieve scanning fast enough to image neurons firing, we used an optical component known as a digital mirror device (DMD) to quickly move the light spot," said Ohayon. "We developed a technique that allowed us to use the DMD to scan light at speeds up to 20 kilohertz, which is fast enough to see fluorescence from active neurons."
Because the multimode fibers used for the endoscope scramble light, the researchers applied a method called wavefront shaping to convert the scrambled light into images. For wavefront shaping, they sent various patterns of light through the fiber to a camera at the other end and recorded exactly how that specific fiber changed light that passed through.
The camera was then removed, and the fiber placed into the brain for imaging. The previously obtained information about how the fiber changes the light is then used to generate and scan a small point across the field of view.
After successfully imaging cultured cells, the researchers tested their microendoscope on anesthetized mice. They inserted the fiber through a tiny hole in the skull of a mouse and slowly lowered it into the brain. To image the neurons firing, the researchers used a technique called calcium imaging that creates fluorescence in response to the influx of calcium that occurs when a neuron fires.
In addition to showing that their endoscope could catch detailed neuronal activity the researchers also demonstrated that multiple colors of light could be used for imaging. This capability could be used to observe interactions between two groups of neurons each labeled with a different color, for example.
For standard imaging, the endoscope images the neurons at the very tip of the fiber. However, the researchers also showed that the microendoscope could image up to about 100 microns away from the tip. "Imaging an area slightly away from the fiber makes it easier to capture healthy neurons," said Ohayon.
The ultrathin micro-endoscope, "will likely change the way endoscopy in people is performed by allowing much thinner probes to be used," said Ohayon. "This would allow more comfortable imaging than today's large endoscopes and may enable imaging in parts of the body that aren't currently feasible."

I like meeting new people, but I don't like being in a group of people. I don't like small talk (especially with people I'm not all that close to), and I hate forced conversations. But generally, I get along really well with people. It's weird.
Me at work is a good example. When I worked at Residential Life at school, I was a bit shy at first, but then I was friendly with everyone. I wasn't the most talkative, but I enjoyed the company of my co-workers. Even work now, I like and get along with the people I work with (being in the same room with them for hours at a time helps).
At the same time, I can't be bothered to care about some people. Like if a random stranger talks to me, I'll be polite, but I usually feel uncomfortable and won't be interested in what they have to say. Even when my parents take me to dinner with friends or relatives, it feels so forced. That just puts me off with whoever I'm supposed to be interacting with. At work it's different because even though we're sorta forced to be together, we aren't required to talk to each other. We can do our own thing, we can strike up a casual conversation, but it's really casual.
I don't want to come off looking rude or angry or bothered or embarassed, but a lot of the time I do just because it takes me a while to warm up to certain people. I don't really know what it is, maybe it's partly because I find a lot of people hard to relate to or maybe it's because I don't have a lot to say. Whatever it is, it just bugs me that things like this can happen.

Bank sale has little local impact; area banks are secure

The news of the federally backed JPMorgan Chase & Co. buyout of Bear Sterns & Co. Sunday adds to concerns about the state of the economy.
But locally, banks are sound; they're making loans, taking deposits and keeping their books straight.
"It doesn't have any impact on us," said Dave Landgrebe, president of First Federal Bank. "The only thing it does, it's one more piece of negative news in the media. It's really too bad because it doesn't have an impact on us."
"It really doesn't," said Lois Anderson, executive vice president of Security Bank USA, a family-owned Bemidji bank. "As far as how we do business, we will continue to use our prudent lending practices."
Security Bank has assets of about $95 million. Anderson said community banks are not security companies like Bear Sterns that gamble on sub-prime lending in a "huge speculative boom."
First Federal operates in 12 locations statewide, including three Bemidji braches and branches nearby in Bagley and Walker. It is owned by 80 shareholders who live in the communities where the banks are located. First Federal assets are $330 million.
Landgrebe said First Federal and its competitors operate as community banks have always operated, knowing the customers are also the bank owners' and officers' friends and neighbors.
"The kind of products Bear Sterns were involved with were exotic," Landgrebe said. "They were doing things no local community banks would be doing."
According to the Associated Press, Bear Sterns investors lost their bets on mortgages for borrowers with poor credit. JPMorgan valued the 85-year-old, 14,000-employee Bear Sterns, which had been the fifth-largest Wall Street investment bank, at $2 a share down from about $40 a share.
"If there's a positive thing here, ... it looks as if the federal government is going to do what it takes to restore public confidence in the financial system," Landgrebe said.
Hugh Welle, First National Bank Bemidji vice president for commercial lending, agreed that local customers should be confident in their banks, which would never become overextended or lend money at high risk as Bear Sterns did.
"I would encourage the public not to push the panic button on these economic matters because banks do responsible lending here," said Welle. "We save for a rainy day for a very important reason. That equity is part of it so you can withstand a year or two where you don't make any money."
He said family-owned First National, which opened in 1897, has assets of about $440 million.
"(Bear Sterns) probably make loans bigger than that," he said.
First National has also limited lending to a 25-mile radius of Bemidji. Less than 5 percent of loans go to people or enterprises outside that lending area, and then only customers who are Bemidji-based.
First National has also refrained from opening branches out of town.
He noted that First National remained solvent through the Great Depression and continues to keep a positive balance sheet.
"We still kind of do business the old-fashioned way: We use money on deposit from local depositors," he said.
Wells Fargo, by contrast, is a national bank with 245 locations and $575 billion in assets in Minnesota alone. Brian Hall, regional banking communications director based in Minneapolis, said that Wells Fargo has an AAA rating from Moody Investors and Standard & Poor's.
Regional President Jeff Kemink said the diversity of more than 80 products including banking, insurance, mortgages and consumer finance, as well as the geographical spread of Wells Fargo, make the bank secure.
"From our customers' standpoint, they should be very comfortable," Kemink said. "The economy is definitely in a concerning position, but it's not the sky falling."

Amazon Studios chief Roy Price was suspended with immediate effect on Thursday, following allegations that he harassed a producer and ignored an actress’s claim of a sexual assault by producer Harvey Weinstein.
The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday published an allegation by Isa Hackett, a producer on one of Amazon.com Inc’s shows, that Price had lewdly propositioned her in 2015.
Amazon said in a statement: “Roy Price is on leave of absence effective immediately. We are reviewing our options for the projects we have with The Weinstein Co.”
Hackett, who is the daughter of famed science fiction author Philip K Dick, whose book The Man in the High Castle served as the basis for Amazon’s eponymous show, told the magazine Price repeatedly and insistently propositioned her, claiming: “You will love my dick.” Hackett says she made it clear she was not interested and told him she is a lesbian with a wife and children.
Price declined to comment to the Hollywood Reporter.
Price’s removal creates uncertainty about the studio’s direction when Amazon is investing more on video content than ever before - some $4.5 billion this year.
The studio’s Chief Operating Officer Albert Cheng will step in as the interim chief, Amazon said.
Also on Thursday, actress Rose McGowan said on Twitter that she had told Price that she had been assaulted by Weinstein, who was forced out of his company this week following reports in the New Yorker and the New York Times that he had harassed and assaulted numerous women over the years.
In tweets directed at Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, she criticized the company for doing business with the Weinstein Co.
A spokeswoman for Weinstein said: “Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr Weinstein.”
Since Weinstein was named and shamed, the ‘Scream’ actress has been vocal on Twitter, praising other women for coming forward and exposing those who she believes could have done more to highlight the shamed movie boss’s behaviour.
On Wednesday night, she took to Instagram, writing: “TWITTER HAS SUSPENDED ME. THERE ARE POWERFUL FORCES AT WORK. BE MY VOICE. #ROSEARMY”
She also posted an apparent notice from Twitter that read: “We have determined that this account violated the Twitter rules, so we’ve temporarily limited some of your account features.”
It is unclear which tweets from the actress’s account would have violated Twitter’s rules.
Price has been integral to Amazon’s movie business, helping steer it through an attempt to crowd-source television scripts and garnering Hollywood awards for shows such as “Transparent.”
Amazon hopes original movies and TV shows will draw new people to join its streaming and shopping club Prime, and in turn buy more goods from the online retailer.
The studio picked up three Oscars this year under Price’s helm, though its failure to show at the Emmy Awards last month was seen by many in Hollywood as a setback.

When we start entertaining the regional market, international tourism is bound to follow
By Mike Comstock –
Where is city hall on this? The “leadership” is reassuring us that after almost two years we will finally be hiring a general manager for economic development. Maybe he will help. Another place to look is the city’s tourism office. Just like the much needed, yet half-funded planning department, the Toronto tourism department has been reduced to a handful of people with few measly dollars. The Downtown core needs to have a positive public voice to counter the negative images in the media. “If it bleeds it leads” is the media’s mantra. Aggressive parking police, traffic chaos, shootings and people sleeping on the streets in the Financial District are current media fodder. We need to refresh the visitor’s memory on using taxis and TTC passes, etc., to party around the neighbourhoods and Downtown with ease. To shop, dine and tour several of our neighbourhoods, not just the CN Tower and the Zoo. We draw crowds with our vibrancy of life, the arts and culture we offer. We must concentrate on the regional market first. When we get that right, then the distant travelers will find a reason to visit. Find out what’s happening in town or send your VFR a link to: www.OldTownToronto1793. com.

The internet is changing art and design. Right about now it can be said with confidence that if you are going to be a 'creative' in America, you will expect your work to be on the web. Graphic art in particular is the transformed genre. One would expect the web to be bright with flavor given that we are now 15 years beyond the wars between Photoshop and Quark Express, wars that have created such power in visual manipulation that practically anything is possible. The same can be said for CGI in film but I want to focus on the static.
BTW, the last pseudo-prediction that I made was that magazines will be replaced by a new sort of graphical production for the iPad. The iPad is the future of the graphic novel, and the graphic novel is the future of middlebrow, the best example having been Electric Sheep's Spiders.
I have found Alphadesigner, a mind of interesting cant whose appearance to me marks the new age of digital design. There has always been a way to get graphics onto the web. Nothing quite like an ugly website to show you any idiot can do it. Creating an asethetic that is functional and beautiful at once takes skill and patience. What is emerging is a unique style and form that works well, that has functional beauty and can communicate above and beyond. When you see it, you know, it kicks off ideas and associations in your head. Alphadesigner has this.
The first thing that got my pique was brought to my attention by my cousin Lino in Rome. He posted on FB the following image, which like an off target ethnic joke was both funny and uncomfortable. For the novelty of the idea, you forgive. And it shows that Alphadesigner was willing to be even-handed about it as there are multiple versions placed on the site.
It's not Mercator's projection, it's a stereotypical projection of American projection. Which on the whole is very clever though in particular slightly missing the mark where higher points could have been scored. How anyone could mis-label India as 'Curry' instead of 'Call Center' or 'Outsource' is almost unforgivable. So my first instinct was to see if there was an app for this such that I could put my own labels. Alas, no, just a clever designer whose wit outshines his incisiveness. Nevertheless, 'Fuck Yeah' for Iraq was as inspired as 'Hockey Moms' for Alaska was tritely insipid. I don't know anybody who thinks of Brazil as a home of 'Liberal Commies', so there you go.
But you've got to know something about America to stage the picture of this dude. It is just brilliant. This is That Dude.

Decorate Your House Like a Pro
Updating your home’s look can be as simple as adding one special piece -- such as a plush rug, a throw or a stunning lamp -- to a room. But if you want to start from scratch, then follow these suggestions to create the home of your dreams.
Define Your Home’s Style
Just as your wardrobe reveals whether you’re a carefree mujer or the prim-and-proper type, la casita, too, is an extension of your personality. Figuring out what style you want for your home is crucial. If a warm and cozy space makes your heart leap, then you may want to opt for traditional or country furnishings, such as brass lamps, plush sofas and area rugs. Other styles to consider are classic, modern, rustic or eclectic.
Choose the Main Element
In any given room, decide what will be the element around which you will decorate. Will it be the color scheme or will it be fabrics? The furniture? Or will it be the home’s architecture that takes precedence? Whatever you decide, choosing a single element will bring your options into focus whenever other design possibilities become overwhelming.
The next phase is to select a color scheme that best fits the style you’ve chosen. Experts suggest using colors that would not ordinarily occur to you. Keep in mind that any color you choose, whether bold or cool, should complement the main element that you’ve chosen.
Play with the Design
Make a diagram of your home, and lay out the color and fabric swatches, then the furniture cutouts for each room you will decorate. Experts say this is a good time to incorporate personal themes from your hobbies, heirlooms, wardrobe, favorite paintings, photographs or travel destinations. Also tear out any magazine clips of home design that inspire you.
Edit, Edit, Edit
t’s easy to have too many competing ideas. So keep things simple with this general guideline: If you choose neutral wall colors, then you will have more room for creativity or boldness with the furnishings. But if you choose bold wall colors, then you will be limited by the boldness of the furnishing you use.

Denver's public schools were in bad shape last year. Students were entering middle school -- even high school -- without basic reading skills, and the state had deemed more than half the schools in the district "low" or "unsatisfactory" based on their scores on the Colorado Student Assessment Program exam. The district had to do something -- and they knew it had better be good. So starting last fall, administrators conducted an ambitious experiment to teach kids to read. They redefined jobs, trained teachers, hired specialists, reallocated millions of dollars, gave kids three hours of daily reading and writing instruction, and then waited to see what would happen.
On July 30, they found out. The results of the CSAP exams the kids took this past spring -- not even a full year after the district introduced its new program -- showed slight but consistent gains in reading and writing over the previous year for third-, fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders, who were the main recipients of the new literacy push ("Reading, Writing and CSAP Scores," March 13).
"The fact that this increase is across the board is pretty clear evidence that it isn't random," says Sally Mentor Hay, the chief academic officer who was hired to implement the literacy program. She and the district both credit the score improvements to the new efforts.
This year, 55 percent of third-graders scored proficient or above on the reading portion of the CSAP, compared with 50 percent last year; 35.5 percent were proficient or above on this year's writing portion, compared with 29 percent on last year's. In 2003, 37.3 percent of fourth-graders were proficient or above in reading, up from 35 percent the year before; 29 percent were proficient or above in writing, up just a point from 2002. Forty-one percent of fifth-graders in DPS scored proficient or above on this year's reading test, compared with 38 percent last year; 31 percent were proficient or above on the writing test, compared with 28 percent the year before. And the district's sixth-graders fared equally as well, with 38.5 percent scoring proficient or above on this year's reading test over last year's 37 percent, and 30.5 percent getting proficient or above on the writing portion, compared with 27 percent in 2002.

"What's key is how the schools implemented the program; you do see variation across the district in the results," Mentor Hay explains. "Some schools had really significant increases, and those were the ones that put a lot of effort and time into professional development."
For example, teachers at Harrington Elementary School had been providing intensive reading instruction long before DPS implemented its district-wide program, and their scores show it. Almost half the third-graders there scored proficient or above in reading this year, compared with 22 percent last year. Even Greenwood Elementary, a school that had been struggling to put the new literacy program in place, also improved, with 57 percent of third-graders scoring proficient or above on reading this year, compared with 41 percent last year.
The literacy program's success is bittersweet, however. Various foundations had donated money to DPS to kick-start the initiative, but when those five-month and year-long grants came to an end recently, they weren't renewed. "Typically, foundations provide funding to get programs going with the expectation that if it's recognized as valuable, the district would pay for it," says Mentor Hay.
DPS had used foundation grants to pay the Institute for Learning, a University of Philadelphia think tank where Mentor Hay is a fellow, for her services. The $300,000 contract not only covered her $150,000 salary and travel expenses -- she commutes each week from her home in California -- but staff training. Now the district will pay Mentor Hay's salary, and the training expenses will come out of federal professional-development grants. Mentor Hay is on contract to remain with DPS through next June but says she'd like to stay on as long as it takes to boost literacy. "We're in the middle of some really exciting work," she says. "I predicted a little bump the first year and more of a bump the second year. Well, we got a nice little bump this year."


Five hundred parolees have been selected to participate in Maryland’s experimental plan to pay them not to commit crimes, a state official says.
“That number will probably change and be lowered because of two reasons,” said Mark Vernarelli, spokesman for the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional System. “First, not everyone will stick to the plan and, second, we still don’t have the money yet.”
The funding for the plan, which would pay nonviolent parolees and probationers $10 to $25 each month to stay law-abiding, is to come from a $50,000 grant from the Abell Foundation in Baltimore. The pay will be provided as vouchers that will be deposited each month in individual checking accounts set up by the state, which has not yet designated a bank.
The list of parolees indicates that Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., a Republican, is ready to present the plan to the Abell Foundation and implement it.
“As soon as they approve it, we can get started,” Mr. Vernarelli said. “That doesn’t mean it will be in 24 hours, but it would be soon after that.”
If all 500 parolees were to receive just $10 a month for a year, the program would cost $60,000. The Abell Foundation is to provide only $50,000, and Maryland officials have said that no taxpayer money will be used in the program.
Mr. Vernarelli noted that the foundation will not provide enough money for all the parolees, but said a failure rate has been factored into the plan.
“There is the built-in notion that some of the people are going to fail,” he said. “In the field of corrections, it is always inevitable that some people are going to fail.”
He said officials sifted through about 3,800 case files to produce a list of 500 parolees. Those guilty of trafficking drugs, domestic violence, murder and rape will not be eligible for the plan, but substance abusers will, he said.
“This has been a laborious process,” Mr. Vernarelli said. “They have worked intensely for many weeks, even in the planning stages for many months. This not something entered into capriciously at all.”
He said that while the program is being conducted, the cases “are going to be thoroughly reviewed, because this is a pilot program.”
“We certainly hope it works,” he said. “And if it doesn’t work, we will continue to work harder to come up with more methods that will reduce recidivism.”
Program participants will have to meet requirements such as having sought verifiable employment at least 10 times, receiving a high school diploma or equivalent, obtaining a commercial driver’s license and being drug-free.
The plan has not been well received by lawmakers.
Republican and Democratic lawmakers generally have expressed support for Mr. Ehrlich’s plan to focus on rehabilitating criminals to reduce the state’s more than 51 percent recidivism rate, but many oppose paying parolees to obey the law.
The administration faces a $786 million budget deficit and has been cutting agency funds, laying off state workers and eliminating unfilled positions to balance the budget. The state spends more than $20,000 annually for each of its 30,000 prisoners, but about $1,000 a year to supervise a parolee.

interCaribbean Airways is canceling services to St Thomas and to St Croix, the company said.
interCaribbean has been working for some months to have the USVI filings process completed, for which it is not possible to manage simultaneously with the setup of all other operations in parallel. Such has been the process, that other requirements to setup at the airports are unable to be advanced without this completed.
interCaribbean over a month ago deployed an additional aircraft to Tortola in readiness for these flights but given the unusually lengthy processes to get to a starting point, it has become clear that the approval process and our priorities are not aligned.
interCaribbean will now redeploy the aircraft into other operations and growth opportunities.
interCaribbean operates EMB 120, Twin Otter and shortly ERJ145 aircraft connecting the Turks & Caicos Islands, Antigua, the British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Dominica, St Lucia and St. Maarten and shortly new services to Aruba and Curacao. Domestic flights are operated in the Turks & Caicos Islands, as well as in Jamaica between Kingston and Montego Bay.

Abel Makkonen Tesfaye known professionally as the Weeknd, is a Canadian singer-songwriter and record producer. Known for his sonic versatility and dark lyricism, his music explores escapism, romance, and melancholia, and is often inspired by personal experiences. He has received numerous accolades, including four Grammy Awards, 19 Billboard Music Awards, 15 Juno Awards, six American Music Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, and an Academy Award nomination. Born and raised in Toronto, Tesfaye began his music career in 2009 by anonymously releasing music on YouTube. Two years later, he co-founded the XO record label and released the mixtapes House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence, which quickly gained recognition for his style of contemporary and alternative R&B and the mystique surrounding his identity. In 2012, he signed with Republic Records and rereleased the mixtapes in the compilation album Trilogy. He explored dark wave in his debut studio album Kiss Land (2013), which debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200. After its release, Tesfaye began contributing to film soundtracks, with his acclaimed single "Earned It" from Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) winning the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance, while also being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Tesfaye earned major critical and commercial success with his pop-leaning second studio album Beauty Behind the Madness (2015). It became his first number-one project in the US, and is one of the year's best-selling albums. With the US Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping singles "Can't Feel My Face" and "The Hills", Beauty Behind the Madness won the Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. His trap-infused third studio album Starboy (2016) saw similar commercial success and included the US number-one single of the same name. Like its predecessor, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album. Tesfaye explored new wave and dream pop with his critically acclaimed fourth studio album After Hours (2020), which featured the chart record-setting single "Blinding Lights" and the US number-one singles "Heartless" and "Save Your Tears".His dance-pop inspired fifth studio album Dawn FM (2022) included the US top-ten single "Take My Breath", and "Sacrifice". Among the world's best-selling music artists with over 75 million records sold, Tesfaye holds several streaming and Billboard chart records. He is the first artist to simultaneously debut on the top three on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, while "Blinding Lights" is the longest-charting song in Billboard history. Often considered as a prominent figure in contemporary popular music,Tesfaye was listed by Time as one of the world's most influential people in 2020. An advocate for racial equality and food security, he was appointed a World Food Programme Goodwill Ambassador in 2021

Interaction studies have only been performed in adults.
Concomitant administration of tigecycline and warfarin (25 mg single-dose) to healthy subjects resulted in a decrease in clearance of R-warfarin and S-warfarin by 40 % and 23 %, and an increase in AUC by 68 % and 29 %, respectively. The mechanism of this interaction is still not elucidated.
Available data does not suggest that this interaction may result in significant INR changes. However, since tigecycline may prolong both prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), the relevant coagulation tests should be closely monitored when tigecycline is co-administered with anticoagulants. Warfarin did not affect the pharmacokinetic profile of tigecycline.
Tigecycline is not extensively metabolised. Therefore, clearance of tigecycline is not expected to be affected by active substances that inhibit or induce the activity of the CYP450 isoforms. In vitro, tigecycline is neither a competitive inhibitor nor an irreversible inhibitor of CYP450 enzymes.
Tigecycline in recommended dosage did not affect the rate or extent of absorption, or clearance of digoxin (0.5 mg followed by 0.25 mg daily) when administered in healthy adults. Digoxin did not affect the pharmacokinetic profile of tigecycline. Therefore, no dosage adjustment is necessary when tigecycline is administered with digoxin.
In in vitro studies, no antagonism has been observed between tigecycline and other commonly used antibiotic classes.
Concurrent use of antibiotics with oral contraceptives may render oral contraceptives less effective.
Based on an in vitro study tigecycline is a P-gp substrate. Co-administration of P-gp inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole or cyclosporine) or P-gp inducers (e.g., rifampicin) could affect the pharmacokinetics of tigecycline.

We humans have a tendency to compartmentalize. We’re not always good at seeing the big picture, whether it’s on the micro-level of the health of our own bodies or the macro-level of the health of our entire home planet.
It’s something I ponder regularly, and some recent research published in Health Psychology reinforced my thinking, nudging me to share my thoughts here.
For the study, titled “Self-Compassion and Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease Among Midlife Women,” authors Rebecca Thurston, Megan Fritz, Yuefang Chang, Emma Barinas Mitchell and Pauline Maki sought to determine the impact of self-compassion on physical health. They define self-compassion as “a positive psychological construct characterized by extending compassion toward oneself, often during periods of suffering.”
They determined that women with high degrees of self-compassion had lower IMT thickness. Intima-media thickness (IMT) can indicate your risk for heart disease and stroke. Those with lower IMT thickness are at lower risk—and on the other side of that coin, higher thickness equals higher risk.
So, a little bit of kindness toward oneself could mean lower risk for heart health issues. What’s more, self-compassion’s impact held even when the research team accounted for other risk factors for cardiovascular disease, like insulin resistance and obesity. I don’t think I’m the only one wondering how much self-compassion is lacking in people struggling with these kinds of chronic issues.
To me, the research shines a bright light on the importance of a macro-level view of health. Our culture tends to overemphasize the importance of “diet and exercise” for maintaining health, while vastly understating the importance of things like proper rest, good mental health and human connection.
Eating a wide range of nutritious foods and moving our bodies are important steps to take for our health—but how much can these healthy habits help us if we continually ignore our need for sleep? How much self-loathing does it take to undermine the metaphorical daily apple?
Many of you put in daily effort to boost the health of your communities by providing healthy physical and recreational activities. You offer fitness programming and opportunities for people of all ages to get active and connect with one another. You invest in and develop infrastructure that makes it easier for people to take care of their bodies. But I’m wondering … do you keep the whole health of your community in mind? (I’m guessing that many of you do.) And I’m curious to know if there are ways to help grow people’s self-compassion at the same time we’re encouraging them to get their blood pumping.
I have no answers, but it seems as though the continuing work toward greater inclusiveness and diversity goes hand-in-hand with these ideas, and I’m hopeful that we are approaching a new era—when we find ways to embrace and grow a more complicated, holistic view of the relationship between our bodies, minds and communities.

William Smith defender earns national soccer honors
William Smith defender Olivia Zitoli has been named Division III Women's Soccer National Player of the Year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
She helped the Herons win the NCAA title this month with one of the stingiest defenses in Division III history. The first-team All-American led a back line that posted a school-record 21 shutouts, one shy of the NCAA season record. William Smith (23-1) allowed six goals in its first eight matches but did not allow a goal over its final 16 matches — the third-longest streak in NCAA history.
Zitoli joins 2001 winner, goalie Leah Cornwell '02, as the only Herons to win the award. The Walpole, Mass., native also scored the game-winning goal to beat No. 16 Skidmore.
During her four seasons on campus, William Smith went 75-7-8 (.878) and advanced to the national semifinals in 2010 and 2011.
Zitoli, a history major, also was named a first-team Scholar All-American by the NSCAA.

Asian lessons for Africa
Manufacturing is underdeveloped in Africa, so its contribution to gross domestic product is dismally small. The continent’s share of the $ 12.3 trillion global market for manufactured goods was a mere 1.5 % in 2014, according to the London-based magazine The Economist. The continent’s industry needs to become more competitive to generate employment.
So far, Africa basically exports primary and semi-processed agricultural and mineral commodities. In the countries of origin, only little value is added. Raw materials made up 46.3 % of exports from sub-Saharan countries in 2014, but only 10.3 % of global exports, according to the World Bank.
At the same time, Africa has become a huge market for finished goods and services from other continents. Its foreign-exchange reserves are being drained because it is importing products that were made from African commodities abroad.
One option is to develop the textile and garment industry. Africa imports about 85 % of its new clothes from Asia – including traditional African dresses, by the way. The share is much too high given that African countries produce cotton, have masses of un- and underemployed people and are marked by considerable market demand.
When industrialisation set in anywhere historically, it normally started with textile and garment production. Bangladesh and Vietnam are recent examples. Both countries’ economies have been growing fast in recent decades, with manufacturing becoming ever more important. In both countries, moreover, poverty has been reduced considerably. African countries need that kind of success.
There are lessons to be learned. An overarching concern is the lack of infrastructure garment producers (and other manufacturing sectors) need: roads, electric power, water supply, ports, markets, financial services et cetera. These gaps drive up production costs.
Moreover, existing policies do not encourage investing in garment production in Africa. Because of smuggling, local markets are flooded with cheap imports that crowd out domestically-made items. As no taxes or duties are paid, government budgets suffer.
African economies must tap into every step along the textile value chain (spinning, weaving, dying, printing et cetera). There is scope for creating jobs for masses of unskilled people. So far, the region’s governments have largely failed to adopt policies that might drive this kind of development. They have not built the needed infrastructure, they have not passed the required regulations, and they have not adopted fiscal systems that would serve as incentives.
Labour costs are low in Africa, where textile employees currently earn $ 40 to $ 160 per month on average. Africa obviously has a competitive advantage in this respect. However, African companies tend to be very small, and only very few employ more than 200 persons. They can expand fast if the business and investment environment improves.
Africa’s manufacturing GDP grew by 3.9 % in 2014. Expanding public infrastructure would drive industrial development. In turn, rapid growth in the textiles sector would change Africa’s economic perspectives fast and drastically.
Africa is an ancient human habitat. It is ecologically diverse and blessed with a great variety of cultures. Its multitude of textile fabrics, prints and dresses – both traditional and modern – impresses consumers throughout the world. With an annual retail value of over $ 4 billion, embroidered and intricately patterned African clothes have garnered international attention. This is the launch pad from which development must take off.
African governments have committed to improving their peoples’ fate in the UN 2030 Agenda, which includes the Sustainable Development Goals, and in the Africa 2063 Agenda. Textile and garment production is a promising sector in this context. The sector can lift millions, if not hundreds of millions, from poverty.
Belay Begashaw is director general of the Sustainable Development Goals Center for Africa (SDGC/A) in Kigali, Rwanda.


There’s one thing for certain we can always depend on Donald Trump to do a lot of…and that’s to lie. This guy lies more than any other president in our nation’s history. At the rally he put on tonight it was one bold faced lie after another. Most of his lies are boiler plate type of lies, but one of them was quite sickening. He claimed that Democrats were allowing children to be born, wrapped up nice and neat, placed in their mother’s arms, and then executed. If he truly believes something like that occurs, maybe he really does have dementia like has been widely suspected.
What he’s twisting around has to do with something Virginia’s Governor, Ralph Northam, said about terminally ill fetus’ being born. Northam said that when a terminally ill child was born, doctors and parents would do everything in their power to make the baby comfortable before it passed on. After he said that a bunch of despicable conservatives, Trump being one of them, turned his words around and claimed that Democrats wanted to kill already born babies.
Why do conservatives have to lie so much? Why do they always try to lead by fear? Well that’s an easy one…they use lies and fear to drive people who don’t know any better to the polls. If they spoke the truth about how Democrats govern compared to the way Republicans govern, well then we’d never be saddled with another Republican politician.
Trump’s rallies, which are really a combination of a love fest and a standup comedy routine, are getting scarier by the day. The amount of lies he tells is unfathomable. What’s really scary about them though is that anyone would be dumb enough to fall for anything he says…now that’s terrifying.

William Blake's Milton, John Birch's “Electrical Magic”, and the “falling star”
In 1804, the celebrated English artist, printer, and poet, William Blake, published an illuminated book entitled Milton. A poem. 1
This complex and enigmatic work, which includes the famous lyric Jerusalem
, concerns the metaphysical relation of man to God, and the mystical union of Blake's spirit with that of his fellow poet Milton. 2
But does the work also contain an allusion to Blake's own experience of 18th century medicine?
Milton is illustrated with 45 beautiful relief-etched plates, two of which, ...

English version of the book first published in Spain (2007, Visor) and later in a revised edition in México (2012, Paso de Gato) with the title Prácticas de lo real en la escena contemporánea. This version changes the structure, summarizes some sections and adds new references and analysis, with special attention to Latin American contemporary performing arts.
Reality and the Visible
Real and Virtual
The Irruption of the Real
At the Limits of Representation
History and Memory
The Performance of Others
The Real is Relational
Action and Essayism
Theatre and Reality
Appendix: Ethics of representation
Contemporary performance was impacted by the renewed necessity of confronting the real that manifested itself in every area of culture during the last decades. This necessity materialised, first, in productions that once again, dealt with the representation of reality, assuming the controversy brought by ‘representation’ and the complexity of reality. It also created the space for works in which the real bursts onto the stage, challenging not only representation, but also the construction of reality. Finally, this necessity of confronting the real produced works that challenged initiatives of intervention, whether in the form of actions that attempted to turn the spectator into the participant of a formal, collective construction; or in the form of direct actions on a space not delimited by artistic institutions.
The turn towards ‘realism’ on the European stage signalled the end of an era marked by certain melancholy, in which post-modern critics focussed their attention on condemning the mechanisms used by structures of power and mass media to produce a ‘simulacral’ (Baudrillard) or ‘transparent’ (Vattimo) society. Meanwhile many artists and arts institutions were more inclined to join in with the criticism of culture, but not to consider the decidedly complex task of constructing realities that complied with tensions of the real.
It is not about a naïve return to the past: over the last few centuries both experimental and social sciences have shown that what we call reality is always a construction. Here, what is sought is not ontological coherence, that Reality is identical to its representation. What is important is that reality works according to physics calculations or social laws. Furthermore, the act of exclusion inherent in all representation must be taken into account. To represent reality without denying all its complexity might require, just as in quantum mechanics, to consider four or more dimensions. The fourth dimension, regarding the image, could be time; regarding text, it could be the body; regarding movement, language; and so on and so forth.
Throughout the essay, there is an attempt to maintain the difference between ‘reality’ as a consensual or imposed construction, and ‘the real’, what resists construction, while simultaneously being material and object of representation itself. Obviously, when reality is not consensual but imposed, the real returns in a more violent way in the form of political or traumatic resistance. The Return of the Real was the title of the influential essay published by Hal Foster in 1996. Departing from a disqualification of the ‘simulacral’ reading of Warhol undertaken by Barthes, Foucault, Deleuze and Baudrillard, Foster approached the study of the work from the idea of the traumatic, as formulated by Lacan, to suggest a new interpretation of hyperrealism, appropriationism and art of the obscene and the abject. […]
The first two chapters, ‘Reality and the Visible’ and ‘Real and Virtual’ suggest a revision of the different modes of realism and the articulation of the terms ‘the real’ and ‘reality’ within those modes of realism. The ways in which image has been represented throughout history in various media (photography, cinema, television, virtual reality) are used as point of departure to analyse different conceptions of realism: Antoine’s photographic realism, Stanislavski’s impressionism, Brecht’s dialectic dramaturgy (and its visual actualization in William Kentridge’s work), the critical baroque style of the Wooster Group or the ironic hyperrealism of directors such as Ostermeier and Platel. ‘The Irruption of the Real’ and ‘Iconoclastic Theatre’ consider the centrality of the body, from Artaud’s reflections on the body as a dramatic space, to the theses put forward by The Living Theatre of an actor that does not abandon his reality. The Living Theatre’s style would influence some of Georg Tabori’s or Albert Vidal’s works that draw, consciously or not, on the radical practices of body art. These practices might be connected with the corporeal, iconoclastic cinema of Lars von Trier. Iconoclasm, associated with the search for the real as something traumatic, would reappear in the work of Óskar Gómez Mata and his idiosyncratic version of ‘embodied thought’, Reza Abdoh’s iconoclastic performances, in the pre-tragic theatre of the Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio and its questioning of representation, and the abject plays and stagings by Rodrigo García and Angélica Liddell.
‘At the Limits of Representation’ approaches this question in the face of death and illness. The representation of private death, addressed by Wim Wenders in Lightning Over Water, was the start of a journey through images of illness and death in contemporary art and theatre. The question of the relationship between private and public came as an inevitable theme: the AIDS epidemic would multiply the reasons for transferring private experiences of the disease into the sphere of political discussion, as Reza Abdoh did, especially in his New York works. The chapter closes with a reference to Antonio Araujo’s Teatro da Vertigem and his treatment of Paradise and Hell in site-specific locations.
In ‘Genocides’, the viewpoints of Atom Egoyan in Ararat (about the Armenian genocide) and of Peter Weiss and Erwin Piscator in Die Ermittlung / The Investigation (on the Holocaust) would introduce the study of works that bring together many questions about the real, the construction of reality, the understanding of otherness and the comprehension of another’s pain: an example of this is Rwanda 94 by Groupov, a work that came out of the creators’ reaction to the Tutsi genocide. Next to this monumental work one could juxtapose two questionings of representation with different takes on the individual vs. whole articulation: Ong Keng Sen and Rabih Mroué.
The layering of ‘History and Memory’, together with the layering of public and private, constitutes a common starting point for the performances of many Latin American collectives created in the sixties and seventies (TEC, La Candelaria, Escambray, Yuyachkani); for them, the reinstatement of past events is in itself a tool of social intervention. Military dicatorships, internal wars and violence during the last three decades of the twentieth century urged a new confrontation with these issues. The collaboration with activist groups and social movements (Las yeguas del apocalipsis, grupo Etcétera) was followed in the recent years by a more performative and personal appropriation of history(ies),as can be seen in the works of Lola Arias and Lagartijas tiradas al sol.
The following two chapters, ‘Performance of the Others’ and ‘The Real is Relational’ approach those practices that shatter the idea of representation and intend an activation of dialogue or conflict with the spectator. The will to give voice to others is continued in the work of those who directly attempted to make others act by means of revolutionary participative practices or through subversive games thought up as exercises in affirmation or resistance. Boal’s proposals introduce the study of series of authors that engaged themselves in participatory and game practices, guided by a political or social aim: Armand Gatti, Sara Molina, Ann Carlson, Maris Bustamante and other performance artists.
The concept of ‘relational aesthetic’ is used to study C’undua by Mapa Teatro a project that redevelops the ideas of representation, social engagement and participation, and that was followed by the construction of a ‘Living archive’ in Testigo de las ruinas (2005-12). Relation and participative performance are also studied in some contemporary film works by José Luis Guerin, Mercedes Álvarez and Joaquín Jordà, where social encounter is privileged over spectacularity
The final chapter, ‘Essayism and representation’, is concerned with the new stage genres that have come out of the conjunction of film documentaries, relational practices, literary essay and social or political activism. ‘Essayism’ as practised by Roger Bernat, Héctor Bourges or René Pollesch leads to new forms of documentary theatre executed by the directors of collectives like Rimini Protokoll and Teatro Ojo, or works of relation-action by Jesusa Rodríguez, Angélica Liddell, Leo Bassi or Roger Bernat. The work of this last creator, Amnesia de fuga / Flight Amnesia (2004), could be understood, both from a social and visual point of view, as an irreverent recovery of 19th century realism.
‘Theatre and reality’ works as an attempt at a conclusion. The first section follows the transformation of the ‘reality criteria’ in parallel with the advance of technological media to produce and reproduce reality. The second section focuses on the consciousness of the body and the growth of an integral idea of human being over the past century. The third section proposes a reflection on times and temporalities and how our experience of time affects our concepts of reality in performance. The last section focuses on relations, goes back to the idea of reality as inter-subjective relations and recovers the concept of ‘theatricality’ as a tool for the study of the social field.
The book closes with an appendix, ‘Ethics of Representation’, unpublished in the Spanish versión. The first version of this text was presented in the 2nd International Theatre Studies Conference, ‘Indisponer la escena’ / ‘Upsetting the stage’, organized by University of Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia, 16/03/2012) and resumes some of the topics explored in the previous chapters. Departing from an analysis of the naïve representation of ‘social theatricality’ undertaken by Jean Renoir in La carrose d’or / The Golden Coach (1952), the differing concepts of ‘representation’ that meet in stage work and social and political life are analysed. The question that guides the text is ‘under what conditions does an actor earn the right to representation?’ and ‘what can they do with representation?’ The analysis of a production by Angélica Liddell is used to introduce the final topic of reflection: the renouncing of representativity in the work of Rabih Mroué and Lina Saneh, and the appearance of an ‘ethics of care’ in Mapa Teatro’s stage proposals.

Things that look good in black and white photography:
Start with raw, natural materials, like rocks, metal to give you an understanding of form and texture.
Pay close attention to form, shading, pattern and tone.
Take note of how the contrast creates shapes, such as lines. These lines then create a feeling by either staying straight or bending or going away from view.
Feel the impact of the shapes make a pattern.
See how the texture of the subject creates the feeling and how shape with this texture gives the subject a new presence on your photo.
Look at the different shades of light work in with each other, and the relationship they have with each other, some against, some with, and how the dark aspects of light can work to enhance the photos feel.
There are a lot of photographers that prefer black and white photography because the world changes when it is in black and white. If you really want to define a subject’s form, then switching to black and white to take that photo will emphasize all the details you miss in colour. When there is a distinct contrast, with dark shades and bright light you’ll be able to see things you didn’t really see before.
Black and white is particularly good if you like working with abstract. The black and white medium lends itself to abstract forms because it removes colour and in doing so shows the graphic elements of the photograph. This then gives us the opportunity to explore the subject a lot more closely and in depth.
If you want to take classy black and white photos with fine detail, super sharp focus, clarity and depth, take a look at Digital Photography Success. This e-book package includes excellent step-by-step instructions on how to master black and white photography, easily and without technical jargon. It covers high contrast issues, editing your black and white photography, giving your black and whites a timeless look, black and white portraits and much more. Learn how to shoot professional photos – just like those you see in glossy black and white photography magazines.

Who controlled the Middle East after World War 1?
The Ottoman Empire had been the leading Islamic state in geopolitical, cultural and ideological terms. The partitioning of the Ottoman Empire after the war led to the domination of the Middle East by Western powers such as Britain and France, and saw the creation of the modern Arab world and the Republic of Turkey.
What European powers took control of the Middle East after WWI?
In 1916, French and British diplomats secretly reached the Sykes-Picot agreement, carving up the Middle East into spheres of influence for their respective countries. That agreement was superceded by another which established a mandate system of French and British control, sanctioned by the new League of Nations.
Which countries in the Middle East were controlled by France after ww1?
34.2. 3: France in the Middle East
- After WWI, Syria and Lebanon became a French protectorate (thinly disguised as a League of Nations Mandate).
- French control was met immediately with armed resistance, so to combat Arab nationalism France divided the Mandate area into Lebanon and four sub-states.
What countries colonized the Middle East?

What effect did World War One have on the Middle East region?
The losses in the Middle East were staggering: the war not only ravaged the land and decimated armies, it destroyed whole societies and economies. In this way, the experience of World War I in the Middle East is perhaps more akin to the experience of World War II in Europe.

The First World War destroyed empires, created numerous new nation-states, encouraged independence movements in Europe’s colonies, forced the United States to become a world power and led directly to Soviet communism and the rise of Hitler.
What did the European countries forget to take into consideration when new borders were drawn for Middle East countries after World War I?
After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, European politicians drew up new borders for Mandates (territories that are between colonies and independent countries).

The Middle East was largely controlled by the Ottoman Empire before World War One — a dominance that had prevailed for half a millennium. But although the Ottomans still ruled over what is now Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Israel, Jordan and parts of Saudi Arabia in 1914, the empire was in decline and had been for decades.
Why was the Middle East partitioned after World War 1?
The Partitioning Of The Middle East If you want to understand part of why the Middle East is such a volatile region today, a good place to start finding answers is the partitioning of the region between 1918 and 1920. The Allies defeated the Ottoman Empire in WWI, and needed to decide what would happen to areas previously under Ottoman control.
What did the Ottoman Empire do during World War 1?
The Ottoman Empire called for a military jihad against France, Russia and Great Britain in November 1914. How did this affect subsequent Allied campaigns in the Middle East? David Woodward charts the demise of an empire and a dramatic shift in the region’s balance of power.
What was the European policy in the Middle East?
On our social media and on TV today discussion of the actual history of European foreign policy in the Middle East is woefully neglected. People are unaware of how far that policy has exacerbated or even created the problems of extremism and disunity.


In Order to be Culturally Aware...You First Have to Be Aware.
March 29 Update: On the same day that I posted this article, NASM and AFAA immediately responded by removing the article from all digital publications. The Editor of the Magazine also reached out to personally connect and we are collaboratively working together to find ways in which to ensure future publications are in fact, culturally aware. I appreciate the quick and thorough response to my post.
All, this week, I read an article that really disappointed and frustrated me as a Black Leader in the Fitness Space.
In wanting to keep my commitment to be transparent and open when it comes to my stance on dialogues, related to diversity and inclusion, I am sharing the exact response I sent to them today:
This week, I received your newsletter in my inbox, which I look forward to reading as an AFAA Certified Instructor who is always looking to grow and expand the depth of my own knowledge.
Upon opening the email, the lead article, “ The Importance of Cultural Awareness”, caught my immediate attention as I think this is a meaningful topic that quite frankly isn’t discussed enough in our space. So, I opened the article, preparing to read your perspective on how to build cultural awareness and was immediately appalled to find that the article not only did not actually address cultural awareness in a meaningful way, it instead turned its full attention to focus solely on Black Women, statistics on obesity related to Black Women, and in many ways, criticized Black Women for having a Body Mass Index (BMI) that is higher than the average woman...or should I say white women as the statistics used references that focused on black women comparative to white women.
It took me a couple of days to write this note because I was so frustrated by the lack of objectivity, thoroughness, and focus in this article that I needed some time to decide what to flag concerns on because so many came up for me, as a Black Female Professional who IS committed to ensuring all fitness spaces are inclusive, culturally aware, and are taking time to meaningful learn what this actually looks like.
On a high-level, some of the concerns I have with the article include:
...concerns regarding overall body positivity messaging and the tone that having a variant BMI than the average is somehow a negative thing.
….many of the suggestions noted on how to be more “culturally aware” in your classes were based on extrinsic motivators/factors and not intrinsic motivators.
But today, I’m writing to focus on the biggest issue, in my opinion: the lack of culture awareness in an article written about cultural awareness.
Being “culturally aware” is a process which involves building the ability to be able to step back from oneself, become aware of your own beliefs, values, and perceptions, and understand how these can impact how you perceive groups that are not like you (based on assumptions you make on what is and is not like you). Once you are aware, the next step is to understand what your own biases may be and understand how to check these at the door so that you have awareness of how varying groups will perceive different things in varying environment including in a fitness class which may include non-technical verbal cueing. It does NOT, however, involve citing being culturally aware and then targeting one particular group based on what you have read through studies and it certainly does NOT involve determining what is right for one particular group in terms of what they need….especially if that said identified group has not been ASKED for their opinion.
Four things that struck me while reading this article:
1. The article made several assumptions about Black Women based on statistics without actually asking Black Women to share our perspectives of what would be appropriate if one wanted to demonstrate that they were “culturally aware”.
2. By only targeting Black Women, the article itself failed to be inclusive and culturally aware... because there are many other diverse cultures to consider and NONE of them were represented nor mentioned.
3. The article made several generalizations on Black Women and how we approach our health, opinions on BMI, and how we should be treated in order to feel included. We are NOT all the same; we do not all have the same opinions nor do we want to be treated the same. We are individuals with varying cultural experiences and perspectives and to encourage cultural awareness activities that do NOT acknowledge this is a critical missing piece that should not have been overlooked.
4. The article is written primarily based on statistics regarding Body Mass Index (BMI) without acknowledging that further research since these sources cited has begun to question BMI in relation to ethnicities Non-White and it actually discriminates against individuals who are non-white and have a higher BMI that the national average. There are also no references of speaking to Black Women to gather their perspectives on being culturally aware and the article itself is written by a white woman. For an article written about black women with suggestions about how to teach black women in group fitness, I find it fascinating that the voice that’s missing? is a Black Woman’s.
As noted, there are many other concerns that I could mention but the biggest is this lack of inclusivity and awareness. There are three actions that I would suggest happen going forward to ensure there is inclusivity in future publications.
Be Culturally Aware: I’m not saying this to be completely sarcastic but I think it is important that publications are reviewed to ensure they actually are inclusive instead of exclusive or targeted towards a particular group.
Interview First-Hand Sources: Data is great but is does not typically reflect the full story behind the numbers. Be mindful that that there are credible sources that could share more insight into the story behind the numbers and allow for future notes to have additional supporting evidence.
The third action is that I would ask that this article be retracted from all current and future digital and print publications and/or immediately revised, with consideration to all the above mentioned concerns. AFAA and NASM have an incredibly Diverse Certified Instructor group and I think it would be irresponsible and not culturally aware of your member base to continue to publish and promote an article that fails to be inclusive.
I appreciate your time and look forward to receiving a response from you regarding this. Please note that I will also be sharing these concerns publicly as this article has been shared broadly and I think it is equally important to share my personal perspective on it publicly as well.
A note to Everyone: Let’s be culturally aware...but let’s start by simply being aware first.


The “Bring breastfeeding back to Sesame Street!” petition outlines their mission statement as such:
Back in the 70’s and 80’s nursing was tastefully shown on the show but now they have replaced their nursing videos with bottles. Please note… We are not asking Sesame Street to remove bottle feeding. We are asking that both ways of feeding babies be shown as normal.
An example from 1970s “Sesame Street,” where breast-feeding was the norm.
An example from the 1990s, where all mentions of breast-feeding have been removed in place of bottle-feeding. Conspiracy?
- Bomb threats were called into Jewish centers in at least 13 states today, making it the fifth wave of threats since January.
- "Moonlight" won Best Picture at the Oscars, but they accidentally gave it to "La La Land" first 😳
- The House Intelligence chairman denied that his call to a reporter at the behest of the White House would influence the probe of Trump and Russia.
- Philip Bilden, the businessman nominated by President Trump to be secretary of the Navy, has withdrawn himself from consideration.

Mauhkus' Unwavering Resolve
The lyrics of "I Won't" by Mauhkus convey a sense of resolute determination and a strong assertion of personal boundaries. The central theme of the song revolves around the artist's unwavering commitment to staying true to themselves and not compromising their principles, despite external pressures and temptations.
Throughout the lyrics, Mauhkus repeatedly emphasizes the things they won't do, setting clear boundaries. This serves as a reflection of their self-respect and commitment to maintaining their integrity. They refuse to engage in superficial or negative behavior, like playing with a "little bitty bitch," discussing their past misdeeds, or giving away their trust easily.
The phrase "I won't" is a recurring motif, underscoring the artist's refusal to conform to expectations or to be swayed by external influences. This reflects a sense of self-assuredness and a refusal to be drawn into drama or negativity.
There's an undercurrent of resilience in the lyrics, as the artist addresses challenges and rumors with a dismissive attitude. They refuse to be bothered by the opinions of others and remain focused on their own path and principles.
The repeated phrase "I won't ever forget what you did, but trust me it is what it is" conveys a sense of acknowledging past grievances but being unwilling to dwell on them or hold grudges. This reflects a mature approach to conflicts and suggests a desire to move forward without carrying the weight of past grievances.
The mention of their hometown, Jonesboro, and references to their personal experiences ("I been that nigga since VBS," "I was addicted to gram") provide a personal and authentic touch to the song, emphasizing the artist's roots and life journey.
In summary, "I Won't" by Mauhkus is a song that embodies themes of personal integrity, resilience, and a refusal to compromise one's values. The lyrics convey a sense of self-assuredness and a determination to stay true to oneself, even in the face of external pressures and past conflicts. It's a declaration of individuality and a commitment to maintaining personal boundaries.

With ACE Mentee, Touchdown Jesus in the background
When my first retirement missioning assignment sent me to sunny
Arizona, I began to think of it as an adventure. To top that off I was invited
to a conference at the University of Notre Dame, my Alma Mater and a FAVORITE
spot, I began to describe my volunteer status as my “Adventure in Retirement.” Several days of learning the philosophy of the ACE Academies, meeting other new ACE Academy Staff members and the Notre Dame staff were great. Several days on the Notre Dame campus with no homework assignments or exams was a nice feature too! A tour of Notre Dame Stadium, Press Box and all, was the last activity before the closing Mass. The spot with the Library with its mural dubbed "Touchdown Jesus" in the background was a favorite place for pictures.
