Led me to a large room with a very high crystalline vault, in which neither large trees or herbal can touch.
Best observing the summit or dome, I see that the colored lightning run, something like an Aurora Borealis.
Inside a small greenhouse volunteers treat of small plants. Apply them magnetic fields in a mushroom shape with the help of a " crystalline " machine.
These seedlings are thus strengthened before being transplanted. Explain to me that the summit maintain the same level of magnetism of the Earth and thus the health of plants is preserved. Then there are aquatic plants, has a pond with a waterfall and there are plants whose roots are in a good black earth .
The lake water is also treated with magnetism and, in special cases, used for crew and visitors treatments .
This room is an important part of the life support of the beings that live in the Mothership of MU. It is also a kind of living library of many species of plants that have been abused and modified in our planet.
They tell me that the " crystalline " machine works due to crystals which maintain and nourish all herbal life and therefore all life on this ship . Even the material of which the Mothership of MU is taken is maintained by them.

Hidden away in the depths of the hull of an old warship at the QLD Maritime Museum is a very small, very beautiful cabin. This cabin plays host to an intimate performance of I Wanted To Talk About Death, a play written and co-directed by Kat O'Flaherty, co-directed by Freya Hoareau, and starring Lexi Ashby and Esme Wilson. This play has set its sights on the mother of all moral questions – "Who should give the right to die?" This question suggests an examination of the euthanasia debate, though I'm unsure if that ever really happened in the piece.
We Need To Talk About Death follows the turmoil of two characters as they struggle with the imminent death of friend – the circumstances of this person's death is left to the imaginations of the audience. These two characters share singular, inflexible and polar opposite views on the situation – one, the modest Christian, sees order and meaning in the tragedy and trusts the divine order of things – the other, an angry nihilist, is consumed by the pointlessness and injustice of the oncoming loss.
Inserted into this otherwise wholly traditional play are a few devices for audience interaction. Though these elements intend to place some sort of responsibility onto the audience, they lacked proper integration into the world of the play. The audience's position is totally unclear, and when the show asks one audience member to make a choice about who should receive some sleeping pills, the decision seems arbitrary and the delivery of the question is really awkward. If this moment was intended to mirror the question of "Who should give the right to die?" then it was offensively superficial; the euthanasia debate purportedly being examined is reduced to cheap dramatics and gimmicky interactivity.
This play is best summed up by the closing scene where one character dramatically consumes a bottle of sleeping pills (jellybeans?) and is then left to awkwardly chew her mouthful looking sorry for herself. I Wanted To Talk About Death will be performed again on the 17th and 18th of May at 6.30pm.

Simply saying "go away" doesn't help the user in getting his problem resolved, and will just make it look like nobody cares or is willing to help him. Learning proper netiquette doesn't usually take long. I'd prefer to say something like: You did not follow the netiquette in your message to this list. Pay special attention to the first paragraph of http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/mailinglists.html and do not reply before you have understood which rules you have trespassed.

Jean do you have a feeling of how many Skype users there are on a per country basis? I am doing a research of Mexico and will like to estimate how many free users there are and if you have a guestimate of paid conversion rate to estimate paid users I also appreciate it.

I regret not to be able to help you, only Skype Staff has those numbers.
The only country from which there is some information is the USA because they publish separate results in their quarterly reports.

Another session with the crochet hook, and I have these to add to my pile of granny squares.
By the look of the balls of yarn I have left, I may have to do some squares in solid colours, but I think they should go well with those already done. I don't have to think about that yet, there are still some different colours to add to the ever growing collection.

California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer is pushing legislation to overturn last week's Supreme Court decision allowing some companies to deny contraception to employees.
Senator Boxer supported the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 1993. Eleven years later the majority of the Supreme Court used that law in its ruling that four contraceptives, including two versions of the morning after pill, don't have to be covered by health insurance if they violate the religious faith of private business owners. Boxer says that's not what she voted for.
"They turned the Religious Freedom Restoration Act on its head," said Boxer.
Now Boxer is trying to overturn the ruling with legislation she says will protect female workers.
"The five Republican appointed men on the Supreme Court decided in the Hobby Lobby case that the employer, the boss, has total power to deny critical medical care to their employees," said Boxer.
The legislation still allows religious institutions to opt out of providing contraceptives. The bill doesn't have a single Republican sponsor. Many in the G.O.P. are praising the Court for what they say is upholding religious freedom.

While James Bond fans patiently await the release of an official trailer for this year's 23rd installment in the iconic secret agent franchise (titled Skyfall), they have a new behind-the-scenes video blog to both help pass the time and tease actor Daniel Craig's third lap around as the new iteration of 007.
Skyfall's Oscar-winning helmer Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) is the focus of this clip, which is mostly composed of an interview with the filmmaker expressing his interest in and longtime adoration of the Bond series - along with brief glimpses of scenes from the actual movie - including, the sequence where Bond infiltrates Shanghai, as teased in the first official Skyfall still.
Have a look at what may be the first of several Skyfall video blogs to come:
This Skyfall production clip is somewhat underwhelming when compared to the highly informative production diary videos that Peter Jackson has been posting for The Hobbit. Not that it matters, seeing how anticipation for the new Bond adventure is already sky-high (no pun) thanks in part to the extended delay between installments resulting from MGM's bankruptcy drama.
If there's anything especially interesting to note from this video, it's Mendes' comment about fashioning Skyfall as "a big fabulous escapist movie" that still reflects thoughtfully about the contemporary world. Mendes' involvement with the film has long prompted rumors about Skyfall being an "artsy" Bond flick that tones down the action set pieces, but the filmmaker makes it pretty apparent here: that's not actually the plan.
As for all those Skyfall mysteries about Ralph Fiennes' character, how Naomie Harrris as Agent Eve fits into the storyline, and just who the villain being played by Oscar-winner Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men) is? Well, it looks like it's best to not expect much more official insight into those matters until the actual film is released.
Skyfall will hit theaters in the U.S. on November 9th, 2012.

This is a polemic movie. The scenes were edited and put together for the effectiveness of the activity. My students enjoyed it a lot and we had a lot of discussion during the whole class. Very thought-provoking. Use it with adults only.
Children who commit crimes have a complicated status as far as the legal world is concerned. Since they are children with less understanding of the laws, they deserve special protections. However, since they are still minors, they do not have all the constitutional rights that adults have.
No person can be held criminally responsible for anything done while under the age of 16. A child older than 16 but younger than 18 can only be held criminally responsible where the offence is punishable by deprivation of liberty for more than two years.
People can be held criminally responsible from the age of 16 [Penal Code, Article 5], but can be subject to socio-educative measures from the age of 12, including those amounting to deprivation of liberty.
The minimum age of criminal responsibility is formally 18. If a person is under the age of 18, an alleged criminal offence is considered an infraction and the person would be subject to "socio-educative measures". If over 12, the measures may include community service and partial or total institutionalization in a socio-education facility. If under 12, the child can be placed in a foster home or with a family, among other measures including psychological accompaniment and mandatory attendance of classes, which can also be applied to children older than 12.
No person can be convicted of an offence in respect of an act or omission committed while under under the age of 12. [Criminal Code, Section 13]
Persons aged 13 or more can be sentenced to penal measures under the Penal Code [Penal Code, Articles 50 and 51].
The minimum age of criminal responsibility is formally 18. Where a person under 18 infringes the criminal law, he or she is considered to have committed "an infraction" and can be subjected to socio-educative measures, though these measures include deprivation of liberty.
Trinidad and Tobago
The minimum age of criminal responsibility is not defined by legislation and so is governed by the common law. Children under the age of seven cannot be held criminally responsible for any offence , and there is a presumption that children aged 10 to 14 cannot be held criminally responsible, though this presumption can be rebutted where it can be demonstrated "that the child knew that his act was seriously wrong … at the time when he did it".
The US
The US
The minimum age of criminal liability is set at the federal and state level in the United States. At the state level, 33 states set no minimum age of criminal responsibility, theoretically allowing a child to be sentenced to criminal penalties at any age, though in most of these states a capacity related test is applied.
Children can be held criminally liable from the age of 12.
Persons under the age of 18 "able to understand what they are doing" are criminally responsible for the felonies, misdemeanours or petty offences of which they have been found guilty, and may be subject to measures of protection, assistance, supervision and education according to the conditions laid down by specific legislation. There is no absolute minimum age set at which children become able to be held criminally responsible, but a child will usually be considered to have "discernment" between the ages of 8 and 10.
Children can be held criminally liable for offences committed from the age of 12.
No person can be punished for an offence committed while under the age of 15.
United Kingdom.
England and Wales.
Children can be held liable for criminal offences from the age of 10.
Mainland China
Generally, people can be held criminally responsible from the age of 16, but children can be held criminally responsible for intentional homicide, intentionally hurting another person so as to cause serious injury of death, rape, robbery, drug-trafficking, arson, explosion or poisoning from the age of 14.
No person can be held criminally responsible for an act committed while he or she was under the age of seven [Indian Penal Code, Section 82] and no person can be held criminally responsible for an act committed while under 12 while of "immature understanding". A child will be considered to be of "immature understanding" when he or she "has not attained sufficient maturity of understanding to judge the nature and consequences of his conduct on that occasion."
People can be held criminally responsible for their actions from the age of 8
South Africa
A child who commits an offence while under the age of 10 is not considered to have criminal capacity and so cannot be prosecuted. A child who is older than 10 but younger than 14 is presumed to lack criminal capacity unless the State proves otherwise. In order to prove that a child has criminal capacity, the State must demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt that the child was able to appreciate the difference between right and wrong at the time of the commission of the alleged offence and to act in accordance with that appreciation.
II. Watch the movie segment.
1. What was the crime?
2. They were children when the murder happened. What punishment should have been applied?
3. Was justice made? Why (not)?
4. What is the risk of convicting an innocent child that is the suspect of a crime? What are the consequences in a teen's life? Who was guilty? Both of them, none of them, or just one of them? Explain it.
4. Do you think they were aware of what they were doing? Does it make a difference in the situation?

The mercury is expected to top 39 and 40 in parts of South East Queensland this week.
Brisbane is set to hit 33 degrees on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
But it's Gatton which is forecast to reach 40 degrees and Ipswich 39 degrees.
It prompts a host of reminders to check in on elderly family, keep pets cool and don't ever leave any person or animal in a motor vehicle unattended.
The back end of the week looks as though we will get some reprieve, with highs of 27 in the Brisbane CBD.

Bec and Michael
We never thought, seven years ago, sitting on the bag racks at school that we'd be in a room with everyone important in our lives, celebrating our engagement. In 2009, we purchased our first home and after rigorous months of saving and breaking into the adult world, I wanted to do something extra special for Michael's birthday. I had been to America when I was 15 with my Dad and wanted to share all it's glory with Michael. We started in LA, then Vegas, then we fell in love with San Francsico. We didn't want to leave but knew that New York was waiting for us. We were most excited to go to New York because we'd be there on Christmas Day – having a white Christmas was new to both of us and something we'd hoped to someday experience.
For the entire trip, I'd never expect what was about to come. On Christmas Eve, Michael and I headed back to our hotel after a massive day of sight-seeing. After some refreshing, we stopped into a cute little Japanese restaurant that we stumbled upon. The rest is almost a blur, it happened so fast. He proposed to me in Central Park, in the freezing cold, in the middle of New York City – an unforgettable memory that we'll both forever hold close to our hearts. Two days later, we became stuck in a blizzard … We wished too hard for the snow to the point we were almost snowed in to our hotel.
We returned home and began to plan our Engagement Party. We held our function at The Point Restaurant & Bar, Southbank, Brisbane with 80 of our close friends and family. My brother's best friend kindly accepted our request for him to take our photos. Such a young and talented photographer that we'll be forever grateful to. We stuck to a classic theme of Black, White & Red, with a classic Ivory cake with a jumbo red bow on it and for fun, provided lips and moustaches on a stick. They definitely got the party started and were really entertaining for the guests! We felt our Engagement Party really reflected our style and personalities.
We have set our Wedding Date for the 5th of August 2012, which will mark our 8 year anniversary with one another. We will be married in San Francisco, being our most loved city.
Images from Bec and Michael's collection.
Ms Gingham says: New York, New York! I've heard it's amazing … imagine getting engaged there and having those memories too!! Just a little envious.
Bec says: "I am creative, talkative & in love with life everyday. I have a small blog: daisytoast, on wordpress, however hardly have the time in my busy life to use it!! I have been with the man of my dreams since we met in Highschool & am getting married in San Fran, California, next August, on our 8 year anniversary."

1. Procter & Gamble
P&G, has topped the list and is one of the world's largest consumer goods companies. P & G was founded in 1837. They sells their products in over 180 countries.
Now the company market their products in the following segments- beauty, health, family, fabric, baby, home, and personal care categories.
P & G has its headquarters at Ohio, USA and it is present in lot of sectors like skin-care, Hair care, health care, food etc. It owned more many brands but now has decided to focus on its major brands and is dropping many brands.
P&G has completely removed food business from its portfolio in 2012 when it sold its brand named Pringles. Its major products are, Pantene, Head & Shoulders and Olay, Tide, Ariel, Pampers, Gillette, and Duracell. The company holds 70% of the global market share in the blades and razors category and holds nearly 20% of the global oral care market share. P&G has strong portfolio of brands in the industry and major part (90%) of profits are generated by 50 leadership brands.
Its top 50 brands represents 90% of its business and this clearly explains their targeted approach to focus on them. The company is a mix of old brands like Tide and newly acquired brands like Gillette. On June 30, 1999, P & G announced that it would restrict its testing practices on animals only to its food and drug products which represents around 80% of their product portfolio. For the development of other testing methods, the company also invested more than $275 million.

Which option is better – upgrading your current ERP system or replacing the entire system? As the complexity of business computing continues to grow, companies are faced with this decision continually. If the current ERP system seems to work you might think it to be an easy decision, but there are a number of factors that need to be considered before you commit to an upgrade.
System functionality versus workarounds
Often, the existing product appears to be working for the company. The challenge here is that users are very adaptive and over a period of time will have created processes to compensate for system shortcomings. Often this workaround is unnoticed or even unknown until a key individual leaves. Then suddenly things break down. Why? That individual had become a component of the system filling the gaps in that product and keeping things going. Without that person, the process breaks down with no documentation or inherent understanding of what was done to compensate for the system's shortcomings.
Upgrades and value
The next thing to consider: what does an upgrade really offer? With software consolidations over the last 10+ years, many of the major providers own any number of products. If you are a customer on an acquired product, it can be hard to get straightforward information on the future of that product. Almost all vendors will say that as long as they have customers paying support they will continue to support the product, but will your system be supported for the functionality you need? A release that has been in the public domain for five or more years has had all the inherent bugs fixed long ago. So what you need from your upgrade dollars is additional functionality that is compatible with today's computing environment.
New releases
New releases or re-writes manifest themselves in several ways. Some new releases fix long-term issues that didn't require a major re-write along with any function changes necessitated from government requirements. In this case, the basic architecture which could be more than 20 years old, is unchanged, so interoperability with current digital commerce is unchanged. In this case, there are often a number of add-ons, customizations, etc. that must be changed with the upgrade, so it's not a simple process. The biggest problem with this type of upgrade: after all that work, you still have basically the same capability you had before. You just put really expensive lipstick on a pig.
New delivery platforms
The other phenomenon is the "new" version of an existing product that moved to a new delivery platform. Companies redo the user interface, change the delivery from on-site to cloud, and then announce a new version. It does not offer better functionality even though the product is marketing that way. The basic underlying platform is 20 years old and no more capable than the old version.
Vendors ultimately want to move the clients they have gained through multiple acquisitions into a single platform. This, too, can be promoted as an upgrade when in fact it's a 'new' system conversion — 'new' because it may be new for you, but it is still using a legacy platform.
In the last 10 years, the number of vendors offering products in the ERP space has ballooned to over 200. Many of these companies built products to specifically address the needs of today's e-commerce world. How we as individuals go about our daily business has changed dramatically in just the last five years. Amazon can have almost anything to your door in 24 hours based on an order from your smart phone. Paying a bill with a paper check is almost unheard of. So, simply upgrading a product built on 20-year-old technology is asking for the impossible and cannot add the functionality often needed to meet today's demand.
Make an educated decision
In the end, you need to determine the advantages for yourself but make this decision with all of the information. If your system meets the functional needs of your company, then staying with what you have or upgrading if it offers the right functionality is the right choice. But before you make an upgrade to your system, do the research and do the math. You may be surprised to find that replacing your ERP system to one built on new technology is often no more costly than an upgrade and will offer functionality far superior to anything an old platform, no matter how much lipstick is added, can offer.

Uganda's Oil Find; Curse Not Blessing
Is it a coincidence that Anaka and Purongo are now areas of massive oil reserve finds described as "world Class and above commercial threshold"?
[Oil, Blood, Tears]
Since capture of power militarily by the National Resistance Army Army/Movement (NRA/M) guerillas in 1986, Uganda became ruled by cliques and associates.
The control and domination of power have been concentrated in the hands of a few; everything seems to be controlled by a president, Yoweri Museveni, who had promised to stay in power for only four years up to 1989.
Also since 1986, the Acholi ethnic community has suffered through endless rebellions. The population has been interned in government-controlled concentration camps for decades. In one case the population of Anaka was expelled by the army, ferried and dumped across Karuma Bridge of the Nile River; all this was supposedly to protect people from the Lord's Resistance Army.
Is it a coincidence that Anaka and Purongo are now areas of massive oil reserve finds described as "world Class and above commercial threshold"?
In 2006, Museveni summoned a few Acholi leaders and showed them that huge Oil deposits existed in Acholi, particularly Amuru district. Since then, no one else was briefed on the developments. The "exploration" had begun secretly and the areas well protected not by the regular army, but by the Presidential Guard Brigade (PGB), which reports to Museveni's son, also a senior army officer. Recently he appointed his wife minister in charge of a gold-rich area. The nepotism is incestuous. Yet, the Acholi, including owners of the land, remained confined in Bantustans.
In 2008, some people were relocated to "newly created camps" assumed to be near their original homesteads, instead of resettling them. This was a strategy to deny them their land as there are plans at work for land grabs. The government continues to insert pressure on Acholis to deprive them of their land and award them to oil companies and sugar cane growers, without their consent.
Even the much-celebrated and Western financed PRDP program meant to rehabilitate the war devastated northern part of the country has now been postponed. In addition to the foreign share of the reconstruction fund, the Uganda government was to come up with its own contribution; it never did and the program lies in limbo.
The northern part of the country remains isolated, and the population unattended to; yet vast chunks of their land are to be given away for sugar cane growing to the Madvhani Sugar Corporation and to U.K. and Canadian oil companies.
Oil exploration continues; the population or their leadership is not informed. These private oil companies' workers are well-protected by the Presidential Guard. There is always security for foreign investors. There was no protection or health care in the concentration camps when, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported in 2005 that 1,000 excess deaths per week were occurring.
The plunder is buttressed with and clothed in "legalese."
There is Uganda Mining Law Act passed in 2003 in a period of political confusion, including a sham Constitutional Reform process that preceded the 2005 lifting of presidential term limits.
This law restricts the benefit of royalty to a mere 3% three only for Acholi; this oil, like for Nigeria's Delta region, is more of a curse rather than blessing. The 3% has already been claimed by Wild Life Authority (WLA). Such is the politics of marginalization and exclusion from the soil of Uganda, which policy Museveni outlined to his army commanders in late 1985. When deals were signed with the oil companies, the government invoked "state secrecy" to seal the contracts' details.
We must draw lessons from what has happened in Nigeria's Delta region.

Trans People on the Pinklist 2011. Who are they?
Sarah Brown
Sarah is only the second trans person in the UK to be openly elected as a trans person. She was elected Cambridge City Councilor in May 2010. She has survived and prospered despite initially coming in for a lot of criticism by many other trans people on the left (myself included) for her support for the coalition government. It is important not to underestimate Sarah's achievement, although there have been other trans people elected to office, including the mayor of Cambridge, Sarah is the second openly trans person in the UK to be elected anywhere. This may not sound much of an achievement compared with other trans politicians that have been elected in other countries; New Zealand, Italy and most recently Poland have elected trans MPs in their national parliaments, and in Tokyo (more populous than many countries) Aya Kamikawa has been a city councilor since 2003.
The difference for Sarah, and to underline her achievement, is that all these people have been elected on list systems, not under systems where individual candidates represent individual wards or constituencies as in the UK. The UK system is dramatically harder for minorities like trans people to break into, since trans people can represent a significantly higher risk, from a party point of view, as people vote for individuals rather than parties. If trans people were truly represented in proportion to our numbers in the population there would be 200 councilors and 6 MPs who are trans.
Sarah's emotional speech at the Liberal Democrat Party Conference in 2010 about how she was forced to divorce her wife and remarry in a civil partnership after her gender reassignment may have been one of the contributory factors to current proposals to extend the right to marry to same-sex couples.
Christine Burns MBE
Christine is a grandmother, a diversity expert in matters relating to the NHS and now mentors younger trans human rights campaigners. She was instrumental in the successful campaign by Press For Change, to achieve legal recognition for transsexual people in 2004 and has contributed immeasurably to helping trans people in the UK and around the world in their struggles for the human rights which most other people take for granted. Although she is no longer engaged in frontline activism, she still does a great deal of work behind the scenes and her advice has helped younger trans activists achieve some of the subsequent gains for trans people. She was one of the prime movers behind Press For Change's successful campaign to introduce the Gender Recognition Act in 2004, a landmark piece of legislation which has resulted in huge improvements in the lives of all trans people.
For me she was the main motivation to become a trans activist after I saw her speak in the summer of 2007, at the Trans With Pride conference in Bethnal Green. In her speech she noted how, despite the gains made for transsexuals in the Gender Recognition Act, those trans people who did not have gender reassignment surgery could still be lawfully discriminated against. Since then she has helped me and countless others with advice and contacts as we campaign to improve things for trans people. An example of this has been the recent decision by Charing Cross gender identity clinic, to allow referrals for young trans people 6 months before their 18th birthday to ensure that there are no unnecessary delays in treatment for them and no interruption in support for them as they transfer from child to adult support services.
Christine's blog, Just Plain Sense is one of the most popular and respected blogs about trans and diversity issues.
Jay Stewart
Jay is co-founder of Gendered Intelligence, a pioneering organization which has worked very successfully to improve the lives of young trans people and others. Recently he has become a father, which has added a great deal of pressure to his already very busy schedule. He organizes events through Gendered Intelligence, which often involve using creativity as a means of helping trans people express themselves and become more confident. Gendered Intelligence also provides diversity training in the area of gender variance with schools, colleges and universities and has collaborated with a number of other trans organisations.
Jay, currently completing a PhD in the department of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths College, has campaigned for trans people's rights and was a past chair of FTM London. As organizer of the annual Trans Community Conference Jay has contributed to a bringing together of the trans community in a way which has been inclusive of younger trans people and their parents, something which is particularly important given their virtual erasure from public view as they conceal their gender identities out of fear of bullying or victimization. Gendered Intelligence has also pioneered a trans youth group in London which, until recently was run by a full-time fully trained youth worker, who also provided outreach training to others running trans youth groups around the country. This is a huge, and particularly positive step and has doubtless improved the lives of many trans people, helping them at a particularly difficult point in their lives. It has been particularly heartening to see how Jay has kept this valuable resource going despite numerous challenges and setbacks, and at a time when he is also doing a PhD and has a young family. An example to many of us in the trans community for his dedication, tenacity and organizational skills, the only thing I do not understand is why he was not in the PinkList list earlier.
Roz Kaveney
A feminist and a graduate of Oxford Roz transitioned from male to female in 1979, at a time when the prevailing received feminist wisdom was that being transsexual represented a false consciousness. This was the year that the famously hateful and misleading book by Janice Raymond, "The Transsexual Empire" was published which Roz reviewed in Gay News, a publication for which she was already working. Despite receiving for this what has now come to be a predictable volley of abuse from sections of the feminist community, Roz has always considered feminist scholarship an important part of her career. She was an advisory reader for Virago womens' press and worked on numerous reference works such as the Cambridge Guide to Women Writing in English. She is still a thorn in the side of those feminists who despite describing themselves as "radical" harbour quite vicious hatred of trans people. Indeed her critiques of radical feminist transphobia have contributed to the marginalization of such views and raised the confidence of the trans community in the face of what has seems to have become an irrational and misguided hatred.
In a career which has also spanned journalism, as a reviewer for the Independent and the Times Literary Supplement and a commentator on Culture and Religion for the Guardian, she has also written for the New Statesman. Roz has also been very active in politics, becoming Deputy Chair of Liberty as a result of her work with Feminists Against Censorship, an organization she co-founded.
Roz has contributed to a great deal to the campaigns for trans human rights over the years. As a representative of the Gender and Sexuality Alliance she sat on the committee, with Christine Burns and Stephen Whittle, which negotiated the 2004 Gender Recognition Act.
Her belief in solidarity and respect in gender and sexuality reflected this in her scholarship in the area of pop culture in her insistence that the same levels of seriousness be applied to pop culture as "high" culture. It is most notable that throughout her diverse career her work has led to the normalization of the presence trans people in areas such as feminist scholarship, literary criticism and politics.
Bethany Black
Like many trans people Bethany struggled with life when she was young, and her attempts to commit suicide, her struggle with drug and alcohol addiction and having to come out to her family twice; as trans and as a lesbian, are sadly, things which many trans people will feel all too familiar. It seems however that these experiences gave her the strength and tenacity to make a career in the tough world of stand-up comedy where she is now the country's only "Goth, lesbian, transsexual, stand-up comedian." Despite the inevitable knock-backs and struggles to gain recognition and work on the stand-up circuit Bethany has thrived and forged a career in this challenging line of work since leaving university and undergoing gender reassignment surgery, describing her life as getting "better and better" since then. Her biggest influence in comedy was Josie Long, who demonstrated to her that not all comedians have to be older people. She started as a compere for a music club in Preston but the hostile reaction there did not prevent her from moving onto actual comedy clubs. She was eventually a finalist in the Funny Bones New Comedian of the Year Competition 2006 and the Chortle Student Comedy Awards 2007, and was nominated for "best debut" award in the Leicester Comedy Festival 2008.
Bethany is however also planning and looking forward to the future with a possible adaptation of her "Beth Becomes Her" show for TV and has co-founded Funny's Funny, a group which plans to provide a free-entry comedy competition for female comedians.
It is good to see her active in promoting opportunities for women comedians since stand-up comedy, like most areas of the media and show-biz, is very male dominated. The only time I ever met Bethany was as a fellow panelist for a discussion organized by the first Bristol Pride committee. Her story about how she came out to her mother being particularly vivid. She described how her mother reacted, and how, despite having never been parted from her husband for more than a couple of days since they were married, she would have been prepared to leave him if necessary in order to support Bethany. Why other parents of trans people cannot give that level of unconditional love to their children is a mystery to me. An example of Bethany's stand-up routine is available here. (look out for the joke about .pdf files, that had me rolling on the floor)
Finishing with Bethany Black represents the clearest example of why I believe these five people have made the 2011 Pinklist. Talent and quality. These people are good at what they do regardless of their gender identities. The right-wing media may describe the Pinklist as just "PCGM" (Political Correctness Gone Mad), but the PCGM brigade ignore the fact that these people are genuinely talented people who have made successful careers in their fields despite, not because, of their gender identities, unlike right-wing journalists who tend to have obtained employment because of their politics rather than their journalistic skill. This is why they are in the Pinklist and why they deserve to be there and deserve to be recognized as having made significant contributions to the life of the country as well as to raising awareness of trans people. Trans people are not just trans people, they are writers, diversity experts, politicians, scholars, parents, comedians, teachers, lawyers journalists, etc. Trans people are people and their inclusion on the Pinklist is a recognition of that and by proxy, a recognition of the entire trans coimmunity.

Hi NatachaReplyDelete
Thanks for doing this. I think it's immensely valuable to explain the substance behind these names, which some people may not be familiar with.
Just a couple of tiny points.
First, although Sarah's election and political career is quite rightly something to celebrate, she is not the first. Mark Rees, who was the first trans man to take the UK to Strasbourg and had a pivotal role in founding Press for Change, was also an elected Lib Dem councillor in his home town of Tonbridge in Kent. As he was doing this in the early 90's he inevitably had to endure a lot of negativity in those days, so it would be a great disservice to erase the historical fact that he was genuinlely the first.
Second .. and this is minor .. I'm an MBE, not an OBE. There's no doubting that I would LIKE to be an OBE, but I'm duty bound to point out that I only have the lesser honour.
Thanks for these corrections Christine, I have incorporated them into the text.ReplyDelete
thanks for this :)ReplyDelete
on minor corrections: I noticed one typo in the first paragraph: "Jay Steward"
I'm not the second, either.ReplyDelete
Nor am I the third.
I have it on good authority that I'm not the fourth as well.
I believe I am currently the only one serving, however, at least the only "out" one.
Oh, and sadly I never actually got to make that speech at the 2010 conference. I am in contact with the Equalities Minister about this stuff though.ReplyDelete
Anyway, thanks for doing the article. I think we can really use this sort of recognition to push the equalities agenda harder.
