As someone that’s trying to learn to play the guitar, take it from me that Yousician is about the easiest and most fun way to pick up a new instrument. The app has lessons for the piano, guitar, bass, or ukulele, and offers some truly entertaining, Guitar Hero-style training games to help you progress quickly. It’s not a magic bullet by any means, but I find that the more fun I’m having, the more likely I am to keep practicing. And Yousician is the most fun I’ve ever had taking guitar lessons.

18. The cover page of the 18 May 2018 issue of the Mail and Guardian, features a photograph of Achmat speaking into a megaphone with the words “Zackie Achmat accused of sexual harassment cover-up at NGO” superimposed thereon.

154. We were referred by Counsel to the ILO Sample Sexual Harassment Policy and the Australian Human Rights Commission Good Practice Guidelines which are to similar effect as also to a number of policies adopted in the U.S.A., academic articles thereon and reported judgments. I can only but approve of the approach of the Human Rights Commmission of Australia which posits ‘fairness’ as an essential element of a good complaint process in the following terms:

A feature of science fiction stories for decades, nanorobot potential ranges from cancer diagnosis and drug delivery to tissue repair and more. A major hurdle to these endeavors, however, is finding a way to cheaply make …

Oh, and I forgot to say: Excellent article about a topic which needs more public awareness. Thank you!!!

“Yes, we’re beginning a case in Fort Lauderdale, in the District Court there, against Feodor Fedorenko, a concentration-camp guard.” (According to the Miami Herald, Fedorenko was accused of having been a guard at Treblinka, 60 miles northeast of Warsaw. He was accused of having been part of a Ukrainian unit that met Jews as they came off freight cars. The Ukrainians, using whips and dogs, would separate the elderly and ill prisoners from the others and lead them to killing pits where they were machine-gunned. Other prisoners were separated by sex and sent to barracks, where they were searched, stripped, their hair shorn, and then taken to “disinfection” showers, where they were gassed. It is estimated that 500,000 to 800,000 Jews were killed at Treblinka. In 1943, the Treblinka prisoners revolted. Fedorenko is accused by survivors of having led search teams into the surrounding woods to capture Jews, who were then ordered hung by their heels and shot. Fedorenko was living among survivors of Auschwitz and Dachau in a second-floor apartment on Euclid Avenue in South Miami Beach. During the trial, he jogged daily on the beach.)

169. Non-governmental and non-profit organizations cannot believe themselves free from imperfection in policy or practice. Many such organizations proclaim themselves committed to standards of equality, non-discrimination, transparency and democracy but have not always attained these precepts.

Unfortunately, those of us who value religious freedom have been disillusioned by multiple governments once too often. The current BJP-led government has no pretensions about its dislike for the secular idea. Even those governments that proudly flaunt the label of “secularism” have subjected us to their non-secular realpolitik. Take the politics of Rajiv Gandhi, for instance, often touted as a “secular” Prime Minister: his government not only overturned the Shah Bano judgment, but also banned Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses and had the locks of the Babri mosque in Ayodhya opened to Hindus. Every political party, including the Congress and the BJP, has played communal politics with everyone in India — Hindu, Muslim, minorities — in the search for pliable vote banks.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude are at home in Manhattan in a modest loft at an unfashionable edge of SoHo where they have lived for 19 years. Upstairs is the atticlike studio where Christo spends early morning drawing during all the months (even years) when his projects aren’t in the thick of being realized; downstairs is the apartment of the couple’s son, Cyril. Christo is stretched out on the floor, his back propped against a couch, just talking. His conversation is intense, dense, riddled with Bulgarian and prone to French. He is sincere, persuasive, infectiously enthusiastic—and ever so slightly impersonal; another interview is, after all, just one more step in seeing his future projects realized. Talking about his work, he says “we” as often as “I,” almost always including Jeanne-Claude, with whom he has an unusual, symbiotic relationship: She is his dealer, agent, financial manager and curator, as well as his companion of 25 years. Often the plural also includes the engineers and building contractors (particularly Ted Dougherty of A & H Builders, Inc.), lawyers, environmental consultants, local politicians—even active opponents—who help generate the momentum for Christo’s unlikely projects and shape their final realization. It has less to do with modesty than with Christo’s dialectical sense of his creative process. “The work develops its own dimension,” he says. “It is always bigger than my imagination alone.”

Our initial reluctance stemmed from our awareness that any enterprise as complex as the opening of a new airport facility is going to have glitches, snafus and, inevitably, some confusion and missed cues. “Opening nights,” on Broadway or elsewhere, rarely go according to script.
