South Africa: Politics, profits and policing after the Marikana Massacre
Lover of fast cars, vintage wine, trout fishing and game farming and the second richest black businessperson in South Africa (global financial publication Forbes puts his wealth at $675 million or £416 million), Cyril Ramaphosa (left) celebrates his election as deputy president of the ANC with South Africa's President Jacob Zuma. Ramaphosa demanded that police break the Marikana mineworkers' strike; police massacred 34 minerworkers and wounded 78 others.

December 20, 2012 -- Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- As the official judicial investigating commission into the Marikana Massacre draws to a close in 2012, with many weeks of testimony in 2013 still ahead, what did the South African Police Service (SAPS) learn from their behaviour?
SAPS Brigadier Zephania Mkhwanazi – who heads "public order policing" and hence control of demonstrations – was asked this by commission chair Ian Farlam last week, and judging by his four answers, the SAPS has not begun to grasp the reality of the crime they committed on August 16, 2012:
South Africa: Treatment Action Campaign turns 14
For more on the Treatment Action Campaign, click HERE.
December 10, 2012 -- TAC Electronic newsletter -- The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) was launched on December 10, 1998, the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. TAC turns 14 years old on international human rights day. This birthday comes at a time where many celebrate the good progress made with regards to expanded access to antiretrovirus medicines (ARVs), but its not yet uhuru [liberation]. This does not mean the war against HIV and AIDS is over as many of us tend to forget where we come from and much focus is still needed on the road ahead. Many global leaders have started to reverse their commitment to see this struggle through and get to the zero-infection, zero-deaths and zero-discrimination target.
TAC campaigns for the realisation of the right to health including socioeconomic rights and the right to equality for poor people. Our main focus is the right to access quality health care that includes access to life-saving HIV treatment enshrined in the South Africa constitution. Between 1998 to 2012 TAC has created a profile as an organisation that fights for the realisation of the right to health for poor people living with HIV.
South Africa: The tortuous road from 1996 to Mangaung
By Terry Bell
December 13, 2012 -- Terry Bell Writes, posted at Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal with permission -- The tortuous road to the governing African National Congress' (ANC) centennial conference at Mangaung ends next week. And, not to put too fine a point on it, much of the country is gatvol [fed up] with the route it has taken and where it has arrived.
Potholed with corruption, meandering in no fixed direction to the profit of cronies, and riddled with damaging scandal, it should long ago have been resurfaced, rebuilt and given a clear destination. But it has remained in place as a national project and, in the process, has pushed into the background the ongoing — and often more subtle — unethical dealings outside of government circles.
In recent years and despite occasional grumbles, the country's major trade union federation, the congress of South African Trade Union (COSATU), has continued to stumble along that road, praising its supposed promise. The federation was committed to it, especially after declaring, at its congress in 2006, that a "Zuma tsunami" would cure the ills on the road ahead. In the event, the leapfrogghing into power of President Jacob Zuma has proved even more destructive.
The commodification of crap and South Africa's toilet apartheid
December 5, 2012 – Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- The December 3-6, 2012, World Toilet Summit offers an opportunity to contemplate how we curate our crap. Increasingly the calculus seems to be cash, generating contradictions ranging from local to global scales, across race, gender, generation and geography. Nowhere are they more evident than in the host city, my hometown of Durban. We've suffered an 18-year era of neoliberal-nationalist malgovernance including toilet apartheid, in the wake of more than 150 years of colonialism and straight racial-apartheid.
Patrick Bond: Doha climate talks another 'conference of polluters'
By Busani Bafana
November 27, 2012 -- Inter Press Service -- There is no political will among rich nations to find funding for developing countries experiencing the brunt of changes in global weather patterns, and the current climate change conference will fail to do so, according to Professor Patrick Bond, a leading thinker and analyst on climate change issues.
"The elites continue to discredit themselves at every opportunity. The only solution is to turn away from these destructive conferences and avoid giving the elites any legitimacy, and instead, to analyse and build the world climate justice movement and its alternatives", Bond, a political economist and also the director of the Centre for Civil Society at the University of KwaZulu Natal in South Africa, told IPS.
Egypt: Independent workers' federation rejects president's power grab
November 25, 2012 -- MENA -- The Egyptian Federation of Independent Trade Unions (EFITU) issued this statement rejecting the Consitutional Declaration announced by President Mohamed Morsi and calling on workers to mobilise against the decree. Mass demonstrations have been called by opposition groups in protest at Morsi's announcement.

Dear Brother and sister workers,
When we heard about the Constitutional Declaration issued by President Mohamed Morsi on 21 November, all of us starting asking our colleagues:
"What has this declaration got to do with us?" "Will it be useful for us, or against our interests?"
Let's look together at what is in the declaration, and what the president said in his speech in front of the Ittihadiyya Palace in front of his supporters.
South Africa after Marikana massacre: Strike wave and new workers' organisations challenge old compromises
Thousands of Amplats mineworkers rally in Rustenburg, South Africa.
By Leonard Gentle
November 12, 2012 -- International Labour Research and Information Group -- Over the November 10-11, 2012, weekend striking mineworkers of the Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) corporation gathered at a mass rally in Rustenburg and howled their defiance of a series of ultimatums issued by the company. At De Doorns, farm workers are on a "wildcat" strike -- the latest of a series that has become a feature of the South African landscape over the last three months, knocking the African National Congress conference in Mangaung off the front pages. Something is stirring from below … and it is time we got beyond the fear and trepidation that have become the stock response in the media.
Land grabbing: A new colonialism

By Alan Broughton
November 6, 2012 – Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- Since the global financial crisis of 2008 and its associated food crisis that sent another 200 million people into malnutrition, there has been a massive grab for land by large corporations around the world. Worst hit has been Africa, where food security is already non-existent for many people. Governments, including the Australian government, welcome this "investment" in agriculture, some bizarrely claiming that food security will be increased.
South Africa: What has Hurricane Sandy taught the ruling elite?
Storm surge from the cyclone in Durban, March 2007.
By Patrick Bond
November 6, 2012 – Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- What did Hurricane Sandy teach us in South Africa, just as $30 billion of state funds are being committed to the dig out of vast new Durban port capacity over the next three decades, plus billions more nearby for petro-chemical industry expansion in Africa's largest oil-refining complex?
Not much, judging by the dunces I've met during the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, which on October 31 included an Open Day for discussion sponsored by the biggest investor, the state-owned Transnet port and railroad operator.
Africa's largest harbour, Durban is facing stiff competition: from Maputo in Mozambique for shipments to the huge Johannesburg market; and from other ports along the coast attempting to set up regional freight hubs and export processing zones. Transnet and Durban municipal officials are reacting like clumsy dinosaurs.
South Africa: Latest ANC/police attack on militant miners condemned

Statement by the Democratic Left Front (South Africa)
October 29, 2012 -- The Democratic Left Front condemns the police for shooting workers in Rustenburg on October 27. Two workers who work at Amplats were hit by live ammunition, and one, hit in the chest, is in a critical condition in hospital. Eleven other mineworkers were injured by rubber bullets. The DLF also condemns Blade Nzimande, SACP general secretary and minister for higher education, for condoning this shooting by the police. This so-called "Communist" defends the shooting of workers in the interests of the capitalist bosses.
South Africa's political economy after the Marikana massacre

By Patrick Bond, Durban
October 18, 2012 – Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- When a ruling party in any African country sinks to the depths of allowing its police force to serve white-dominated multinational capital by killing dozens of black workers so as to end a brief strike, as happened in South Africa in August, it represents not just human rights and labour relations travesties. The incident offers the potential for a deep political rethink.
But that can only happen if the society openly confronts the chilling lessons learned in the process about the moral degeneration of a liberation movement that the world had supported for decades. Support was near universal from progressives of all political hues, because that movement, the African National Congress (ANC), promised to rid this land not only of formal apartheid but of all unfair racial inequality and indeed class and gender exploitation as well. And now the ANC seems to be making many things worse.
There are five immediate considerations about what happened at Marikana, 100 kilometres northwest of Johannesburg, beginning around 4 pm on August 16, 2012:
South African metalworkers' union: 'For a class struggle approach to climate change and energy transition'
Karl Cloete addresses NUMSA's February 2012 International Conference on Building a Socially Owned Renewable Energy Sector in Johannesburg.
Click HERE for more discussion on radical workers' solutions to the environemntal crisis.
By Karl Cloete, deputy general-secretary, National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA)
[The following paper was presented on October 10, 2012, at a conference at Cornell University. NUMSA is South Africa's second-largest union, with alomost 290,000 members in the smelting, maunufacturing, auto and electricity generation industries.]
Our starting point as NUMSA is that to effect an energy transition, we as the global union movement DO need a perspective to guide us as well as strategies to be utilised by the movement. While such a perspective and accompanying strategies will definitely not come fully formed and in one go, we HAVE to keep working on them through discussions, through struggles, through experimentation and through learning from experiences of those in the forefront of energy struggles (within and outside of the labour movement).

South Africa: (Updated) Marikana Lonmin workers win 22% wage rise, but the struggle for justice goes on
Amandla! editorial
September 20, 2012 -- Amandla! -- A heroic struggle has tasted its first victory. The reported wage settlement with the mineworkers at Lonmin's Marikana platinum mine -- site of the terrible August 16 massacre of workers by police -- of R11, 000 is a massive victory, nothing less than the murder and sacrifice of so many workers dictated.
With an unholy alliance of Lonmin bosses, the bosses of the entire platinum sector, the army, police, government and even the leadership of the South African Communist Party and the pro-government National Union of Mineworkers rangeed against them, Lonmin workers can turn from their wage struggle to the struggle for justice with enormous pride and their dignity restored. This struggle has already rewritten the history of the international labour movement. In the eyes of the world, Marikana is not a place but an expression that workers' struggle -- class struggle -- is not yesterday's language and ideology, but lives in the struggles of the exploited and oppressed from below who continue to fight the good fight.
South Africa: 'The SACP has become a vanguard of ANC power factionalism'
South Africa's ANC president Jacob Zuma (right) dances with SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande.
By Dale T. McKinley
September 10, 2012 -- South African Civil Society Information Service -- If ever we needed to be reminded of Milan Kundera's famous axiom that, "the struggle … against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting", then it is in respect of the post-apartheid history of the South African Communist Party (SACP).
Why? Because it is a history that shows us, in so many different ways, how and why the SACP has gradually but systematically become a vanguard of African National Congress (ANC) factionalist politics as opposed to its self-proclaimed role as an independent, progressive force representing and leading the "national democratic, anti-capitalist struggle" of the working class.

Kim's Harvard doctorate and medical degree, his founding of the heroic NGO Partners in Health and his directorship of the World Health Organization's AIDS division make him the best-educated, most humane World Bank president yet. A decade ago, he co-edited the book, Dying for Growth, pointing out that "Washington Consensus" policies and projects had a sharply adverse impact on health.

From the early days of student struggles to his arrest and imprisonment on Robben Island to his latter years working on language and education, Neville Alexander's deep humanitarian spirit, his respect for the ordinary people and his humility were always present.
South Africa: Marikana massacre – a turning point?

By Martin Legassick
August 27, 2012 – Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- The massacre of 34, and almost certainly more, striking mineworkers at Marikana (together with more than 80 injured) on August 16 has sent waves of shock and anger across South Africa, rippling around the world. It could prove a decisive turning point in our country's post-apartheid history.
Marikana is a town situated in barren veld, dry brown grass in the winter, with occasional rocky outcrops (kopjes, hillocks). The Lonmin-owned mines – there are three, Karee, West and East Platinum – are situated on the outskirts of the town. Alongside two of them is a settlement of zinc-walled shacks festooned with lines of washing called Enkanini, where most of the mineworkers live.

Conservative Republican 106th District House member Ken Bradstreet R-Gaylord, makes a good point.
At a recent dinner event with Melrose Township supervisor Mike Webster - who was also his Democratic challenger last fall - and other local government officials, Bradstreet touted the concept of "zero-based budgeting."
In other words, he thinks state agencies should have to prove themselves and their budgets each year before getting an automatic increase in the amount they can spend regardless of whether it's needed or relevant.
We agree.
During this informal gathering of local officials held at the Red Mesa Grill in Boyne City, Bradstreet drove home a message of frugality in state government, sharply criticizing members of both parties for their unrestrained spending habits in good times which must now be atoned.

It's the last challenge of the year ("Scraptastic") for season 9 of Project Quilting, and if you've been following along you know I've entered every challenge this year so far. However, for this one I'm really in a time crunch. I think my real challenge will be to finish it in time! The entire quilted item must be started and completely finished (yup, quilted & bound) within one short week.
I've got bins and bins full of leftover fabric from years of sewing. Some are so old, I think they might be considered "vintage "…maybe you'll recognize a few of these prints. I gathered my beiges, browns, threw in a few reds, greens, and blues, and made a plethora of half square triangles.
As I was pinning them up on my design wall, secondary stars began to appear in the pattern…so I purposely went back and placed light contrasting hst in white or beige in those areas to help the stars shine.
You really need to stand back to see them.
It's a very simple pattern once you lay the hst and squares out to make one block at a time…
It's a 16 block made up of hst and squares, and depending on where you place the lights and darks, it creates the stretched star.
Here I've done a little better job of alternating the beige and white stars. Each block measures 12-1/2 inches (12 inches finished). It's a great stash buster, but as you can see on the table, half square triangles seem to multiply like bunnies when you're not looking! The clock is ticking, so to get done in time, I'd better stop now and use those extras in another project.
I found a great backing in my stash, and here it is on my trusty Tin Lizzy ready to quilt. I'm planning to do straight lines around each of the stars and then fill in with meandering and loops between the stars with swirls inside the centers…leaving the star points unquilted so they pop.
I decided on a faux flange binding.
And here it is…finished just in time!
Hope you'll stop by Project Quilting and vote for your favorites Mine is #50, hint-hint). Voting begins Sunday, March 25, 2018 (I think voting runs through Friday).
It's now for sale in my shop here.
Until next time,
Happy Quilting!

Philip Rastelli, who the authorities say heads the Bonanno crime family, and seven co-defendants were found guilty last night of taking part in a massive labor racketeering conspiracy from 1964 to 1985.
The conspiracy involved the extortion of payoffs to assure labor peace in the quarter-billion-dollar-a-year moving and storage industry, contract bid-rigging and obstruction of justice, according to the indictment.
Among those convicted in Federal District Court in Brooklyn were Nicholas Marangello, 73 years old, who was described as the former underboss of the Bonanno family; and James Vincent Bracco, 53, the president of Local 814 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and Charles Martelli, 61, the secretary-treasurer of the Long Island City-based local, which represents employees in the moving and storage industry and at sports and exhibition arenas in the New York City area.
All were charged under the Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, which carries a possible sentence of 20 years imprisonment and other penalties. They were also convicted on several other counts and acquitted of some.
'Travesty of Justice'
Three defendants were convicted of lesser charges. One, Philip Goldstein, 61, an official of the Production, Service and Sales Employees Local 517, was acquitted of the two charges against him - one count of extortion and one count of violating the Taft-Hartley Act.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Rastelli, 68, was convicted of 24 counts and acquitted of 9 counts. Stanley A. Teitler, the attorney for Mr. Rastelli and for his 65-year-old brother Carmine, who was also convicted of RICO and other counts, criticized the guilty verdicts as ''a travesty of justice.'' He said the jury did not understand the law and expressed confidence that the verdicts would be overturned on appeal.
The jury of six men and six women returned the verdicts shortly before 9 P.M. on the 11th day of its deliberations. All told, the 12 defendants were tried on a total of 50 counts.
Earlier, at 3 P.M., the jury reported it had reached a verdict. But after the verdicts were announced on the first 19 counts, it became apparent that jurors were confused in their understanding of the law.
Judge Charles P. Sifton refused to accept those verdicts and, after giving instructions, directed the jurors to deliberate some more. He also denied defense motions for a mistrial.
The case went to the jury on Sept. 30 after more than five months of testimony from some 50 witnesses.
Laura A. Brevetti, who presented the Government's case along with with Alan M. Friedman, told the jury in her summation that ''this case is about the abuse of a union'' and ''the illegitimate use of the economic power that a union has.''
Both Ms. Brevetti and Mr. Friedman are prosecutors with the Department of Justice's Organized Crime Strike Force in Brooklyn, which conducted a three-year investigation that led to the indictments.
During the trial, the prosecution sought to show a pattern of racketeering in the local moving and storage industry that forced many companies to give payoffs to the Teamsters Local 814 to assure labor peace and made it possible for some companies to rig bids on contracts.
Others convicted of RICO and other charges were Joseph Massino, 43, said to be a captain in the Bonanno family; Anthony Cantatore, 60, a Local 814 delegate and organizer; and Warren Weissman, an owner of Deluxe Vans Inc.
Those convicted of other counts were Charles Agar, 45, vice president of Local 814, the lone defendant to be acquitted of the RICO count; Dominic Mariani, 52, an owner of Guardian Worldwide Movers and Washington Moving and Storage, and Frank Muli, 44, an owner of Raintree Sportswear.Continue reading the main story

Architects for Health on Tour
The organisation Architects for Health (AFH) visited our headquarter as part of their study tour in Denmark.
AFH is a non-profit organisation for those interested in improving health and well-being through healthcare design. Guldmann UK have been a sponsor and supported AFH for the last 4 years.
The tour had healthcare architecture in focus but also visited ARoS (art museum of Aarhus) and Dokk1 (Library and Citizens' Services). Dokk1 invoked great excitement as an architectonic pearl, that provides an oasis for the citizens of Aarhus. Another great source of inspiration was the DokkX (Welfare Tech Center) located in Dokk1 in which it is possible to see and try many different types of assisted living technologies.
The group visited the hospitals of Horsens and Kolding to experience Danish hospital architecture in action.
Architect company C.F. Møller had a session later during the study tour in which they talked about some of their projects for the healthcare sector.
The group was presented with different lifting techniques during the visit in Guldmann HQ and showroom. Here they were put to work doing a variety of exercises and practical applications of the hoist including; working in OR, early mobilisation and rehabilitation and the benefits of using a ceiling hoists instead of a mobile hoist. The Architects got involved without hesitation and were enthusiastic towards the tasks.
Our Stepless showroom did not escape the attention either and was thoroughly explored.
Already we have had some fantastic feedback regarding the overall visit and our facilities.

As we get older our teeth get darker. This is partly due to our getting older, but it is also caused by the foods we eat and drink, and by other habits such as smoking. Tea, coffee, blackcurrant juice, red wine and other foods that have strong colours can have an effect on the overall colour of our teeth. Teeth may also darken as a result of some antibiotics.
Some people naturally have a more grey shade of teeth. Other people have white spots on their teeth. This can be caused by early tooth decay, or illness when the tooth was forming.
There are a number of reasons why you might get your teeth whitened. Everyone is different; and just as our hair and skin colour vary, so do our teeth. Very few people have brilliant-white teeth.
'Calculus' or tartar can also affect the colour of your teeth. Some people may have staining under the enamel surface or tiny cracks can appear in the teeth which take up stains.
Tooth whitening can be a very effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surface or damaging it. Usually the original shade of the tooth is whitened to a lighter colour, rather than being turned completely white.

- Passwords can be easily captured by hackers then re-used. It's almost as though criminals can get keys to your front door these days, whenever they like!
- Revolutionary new Shayype technology helps keep hackers at bay - as the code you'll type in changes every time - and it's much easier-to-use.

The boat is 2001, Chaparral Sunesta 233. The trailer is from 2007. I own it for already 10 years. My kids left home and I don't think I'll use it anymore.
During the winter it is always at home in a special boat covered area and during the boating season we always boat in fresh water at Lake Anna, VA.
The engine is Volvo Penta, the long block and the lower unit was replaced at 2010 with a new bigger one and now it is 5.7 engine vs. the 5.0 original one. It has an automatic fire extinguisher system in the engine compartment
The boat is in a good condition for its age, well-kept and maintained.
It includes everything that originally came with the boat along with all the extra features like:
All the covers - bimini, full camper (a $5000 option from the factory) bow and cockpit docking covers.
All Cushions are included and in good condition.
The folded table is there, the Porta-Pottie too, ice box.
Many additional items like: 2 x towing tubes, life vests in different shape size and form much more than required, propeller, ropes and more…
Ask any questions before you commit to buy.
Sold as is, as mentioned above the boat is not in the water currently and cannot be sea trialed.
Local Pickup Preferred but will consider shipping if buyer makes all arrangements and fully pay for the shipment.
Best offer might be accepted for reasonable ones

Twelve Days of Christmas…my true love is still at it….
On the sixth day of Christmas my true love sent to me… six reasons to pause
Four steps to answering questions
And a heart full of confidence and joy!
Ok, six reasons to pause… Imagine the scene. There you are in an audience, wanting and needing to hear what has to be said. You lean forward, you see the speaker take a breathe. And they're off….speaking ten to the dozen, words tumbling out of their mouth, spilling out into the room, gurgling and splattering and careering and bouncing into the air. No matter how hard you try, it's hard to keep track:
What was it they said?
How important was that?
Do I agree with that
But doesn't that mean…?
After a while you stop trying to keep up and soon after that your thoughts start to wander and you look at your watch to see how long it is before you can escape.
You see, audiences need pauses as well as speakers. Here are three reasons why audiences need pauses:
1. To process the information you have given them
2. To understand the importance of something
3. To connect what you have just said to something they already know – either a point you have just made or something in their personal experience. We know that this how people learn best – through connections- but only if we give them time!
And here are three reasons why speakers need to pause:
4 .The most obvious reason is so you can breathe! We need to breathe so we can let our voices have that wonderful variety and timbre we know keeps audiences engaged and attentive. We need to breathe so we don't fall down! We need to breathe so we stay relaxed and calm and in control.
5 .We need to pause to add impact to what we say. Think of it as the bold/underline when you are writing. Pauses add emphasis, make something important., draws attention to a particular point.
6.Pauses add in variety to your tone and pace of voice. We all know what happens when we listen to a monotonous voice – Zzzzzzzz. Adding in pauses keeps the pace varied and grabs our attention.
As a final thought for today – here are three occassions to pause. Try them out next time you speak to a group…
1. after you ask a question ( direct or rhetorical)
2. Before you make a point that you really want people to take notice of
3. After you have made a point that you want the audience to remember.
Let me know what your experiences are of listening ( or giving ) presentations where there have been lots of pauses or none at all. And remember to comment on what questions you want me to cover in the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th days of Christmas
Want to give yourself the opportunity to practice your speaking skills, get feedback and build up a personal, powerful and persuasive speaking style? Check out Phenomenal Woman Speaking Club…starts in January 2012.

C&BG Club Reunion 2002
In 2002 I was asked by Monty Meth to give the after dinner speech at the club reunion.
I decided the best way to tackle it was to write an article based on "A life in the day" series in the Times and to imagine I was a young lad back in the year 1935 going through the events of the day.
I enjoyed putting the piece together and I like to think it was well received on the night. To see the full story click on the red COMMENTS link below.

- Ron Goldstein said...
"A LIFE IN THE DAY" By Ron Goldstein, April 14th 1935
My name is Ronnie Goldstein although my birth certificate says my first name is Reuben. When I was three years old I decided that Reuben was a sissy name to grow up with and told everyone who would listen that my name was Ronnie and that's the way it's been ever since.
I'll be 12 years old in August and I live at number 21 Boreham Street which is a small cul de sac off Peter Street. Peter Street runs off of Brick Lane and that's a road that is cut in half by Bethnal Green Road, which I'm sure everyone must have heard of.
Just in case there might be some of you who don't know Boreham Street I think I'd better describe it to you.
It's a small alley, closed off to any traffic and consists of 24 red brick four storey houses, 12 each side and facing each other, with about 30 feet of space in between.
Every house has a workshop on the top floor and my Dad and all of my brothers work in the one that's on top of my house
At both ends of the street there are lamp-posts with gaslight burners and every evening the gas-lighter comes along on his bike with a long pole and switches the lights on for the night.
At the top of each lamp-post there is a metal bar sticking out that they use to rest a ladder on when they are doing repairs but we kids use it for hanging a swing from.
My house is four houses from the Peter Street end and consists of 3 floors and a workshop and I live in this house with three of my four brothers, five of my six sisters and my Mum & Dad.
Our front door has a small hole drilled into it near the lock and a string is always hanging from it. This is so that the younger members of our family can always get in without a key that only the older ones have.
We don't have a bathroom in the house but we've got a small wash-place on the first floor landing. Once a week we all troop off to the public baths.
My dad's name is Yosef although most of his customers call him Joe or Mr.G.
He's 52 years old and he's married to my Mum who's called Faigele or Fanny.
She's just a year younger than my Dad which makes her 51.
My sister's names are Annie, Esther, Gertie, Polly, Debby & Jean and my brothers are named Lou, Jackie, Mossy and Mick.
Annie is 27 and she's my oldest sister. She doesn't live at home with us as she's already married to Solly Leboff and they have their own house somewhere in Stamford Hill.
Esther, the next one down, is 22 and she's engaged to Jack Rosen and they hope to marry next year. Esther is a secretary to John Blundell who owns a large store in City Road
Gertie is 20 years old exactly today and she works as a milliner, that means she designs & makes ladies hats & after her comes Polly, who's 18, and is a ladies hairdresser.
Debby is 14 a dress machinist and my youngest sister Jean is 5 and still at school.
My brother Lou is 26 & and he and my brother Jack, aged 23, are both married but they still work for my dad as machiners in the workshop at the top of our house and so does my brother Mossy who's just become 20 years old .
That only leaves my brother Mick to tell you about. He's 15 and learning to be a hairdresser like Polly.
There are other club boys living in the same alley as me.
(I've just realised you don't even know what club I go to so I'd better explain that as well). I belong to the Cambridge & Bethnal Green Boys Club, which is in Chance Street about ten minutes walk from here.
Anyway, at number 24, lives Natie Krieger with his younger brother Vivien, a lot of you must know them.
At number 4 are the Allsuch's, that's Natie, Hymie, Alf & Arthur, commonly known as Lollie. Then at number 9 live the Astrinskys , that's Lionel and his older brother and finally at number 21 lives my family whom I've already mentioned. By the way Mossy and Mick also go to the same club as me.
My family has been living in Boreham Street since 1918 and I was born there in 1923.
I go to the local school, Rochelle Street and all of my friends live within about half a mile of me. At the rear of my house is a factory which has a hooter and at quarter to eight every morning this hooter sounds and the house rocks.
The date today is the 14th of April, it's the last day of Passover, and its also the last day of the of the nut's season for which Boreham Street is famous. It's also my older brother Mossy's 20th Birthday and as he's a twin to my sister Gertie it's her Birthday as well. Mossy is captain of the local C&BG boys club and he's a champion runner who always runs for the club in the AJY championships.
So what's so special about the nut season?, if you'll give me a chance I'll tell you.
It started eight days ago and me and any of my friends who had any spare pocket money went to the market in Brick Lane and bought ourselves some cracker nuts or hazel nuts as some of the stallholders call them. I think we actually bought them from Archie Brookner whose family have got a fruit stall in Brick Lane Market.
I forgot how much they cost me but I know that for our two pennyworth we got about fifty odd nuts each. This was our float and all we then had to do to start up in business was to find a couple of farthings and a cardboard shoebox.
What we then did was to turn the box upside down and cut 3 to 4 small openings out of one side. We then wrote a number above each opening, which stood for how many nuts you would win if you managed to get your nut through the hole.
We then stood this box against one of the outside walls of the houses and the punters would stand on the line drawn in the centre of the alleyway, about 15 feet away and try to roll the nuts into one of the openings.. The size of the holes was very important, if you made them too big it would soon put you out of business, too small and the punters would soon give up trying and walk away in disgust The 'guvnor' who'd got it just right would soon be collecting three or four nuts for everyone he had to pay out and would soon be amassing a heavy float bag.
The second type of game would be the old established 'Lucky Farthing'. For this you would need a farthing that would be placed against the same wall and if knocked down by a nut could be claimed as a prize. The secret here was to wedge the coin so that nothing less than a sledge- hammer could dislodge it but this didn't seem to stop the punters having a go and the odd fight if the general census of opinion was that the coin had been 'stuck' into position.
The variation (that's a good word) on the lucky farthing game was a lucky silver three-penny piece but I only saw this in action once and it was rumoured that the lad who ran the game was able to produce the same coin every year as it had never yet been dislodged from the wall without the right tool!.
Yet another type of game was to place a coin flat on the pavement just in front of a wall and require that a punter tossed a nut in an underarm throw so that it landed smack on the coin and actually 'rang' the coin in order to claim a win.
There were many other games going on at the same time and anyone could open up a pitch providing they could find a spare bit of wall.
Standing around in the crowd would be some boys just buying or selling nuts, we had our own rate of exchange and the noise was quite deaf making. Some of the women who lived in Boreham Street would occasionally come to the front door to protest about the noise and the litter created by the various games but this didn't seem to stop any of the action and helped to create a lively atmosphere.
Any way, the time is getting on and it's time I cashed in my winnings and got ready to go to the club.
As it's still the Jewish Holidays I don't have to go to Cheder or Hebrew classes tonight so it's straight off to Chance Street to join the lads outside the Blue Anchor. The club doesn't open till seven but the crowd outside is beginning to get a bit bolshie because none of the managers have turned up yet and when they eventually do, there is some good natured barracking and cries of 'about time too !'
We squeeze past the tiny office where our cards are checked to see if we've paid our halfpenny subs (particularly if we know that our subs are overdue!) and then we break away to get to our own particular activity.
My house is Gloucester, I'm number 83 and I look at the notice board to see how we are doing so far this year. Other houses are Kent, York & Cornwall.
I'm near the front and try to push my way to the canteen so that I can get some nosh before classes start at 7.30. It's a funny thing but I've never been able to find saveloy's anywhere in the world that taste the same as the ones I buy in the club and the hot cordial drinks are always just right as well.
Some of the lads have already started the first game of Table Tennis and the balls are flying fast and furious. When I first joined the club I couldn't make out why the lights in the games room kept on flicking on and off until I realised this was the signal for the end of a booked games session.
We have to go through the games room to get to the toilets and as these are the original ones from the pub, the Blue Anchor, they are made from metal and are really are noisy and pongy.
Before I start any activities I look around the club to see if I can find certain friends of mine who belong to the same harmonica group as myself. There are four of us and we call ourselves "The 4 Harmonica Kids". We've been for several talent competitions at the Mile End Empire and actually came first in one of them that was compered by the comedian Tommy Trinder. I find two of the group in the club and we have made arrangements to rehearse later this week at one of the boy's homes.
We had our photo's taken last week at Jeromes studio in Mile End Road and my Mum made us red sashes to go round our waists as a sort of uniform. With our white shirts and navy trousers I thought we looked quite smart!
It's seven–thirty and I start my first class, it's Photography and I've had to go down in the cellars for this. We learn how to do our own developing and printing of photographs and most of us have fixed ourselves up with chemicals so that we can practice at home. The class is run by a chap called 'T' or Harry Tichener to give him his full title and this ties me up until eight thirty when I have to shoot away for some road running led by Joe Samson. There's about a dozen of us on this particular activity and we run to the Bank and back without stopping.
We arrive back at the club about half past nine, just in time for a shower before prayers are said in the gym by George or Rowland and then we juniors have got to leave while the inters and the seniors get to stay on. This having to leave always gets my goat, I've worked out that by the time I'm old enough to stay on with the Inters the year will be 1939, and who can wait that long!
I walk home with a crowd of boys, each one peeling off in turn as we reached their own particular buildings and finally I get back to Boreham Street about half past ten.
On the way home we stop at the bandstand by Calvert Avenue but by this time of night it's all locked up
The older members of the various families in the street are still sitting outside their front doors playing cards or Monopoly or in some cases reading the Dog Results that they have just bought from the local street seller at a penny each.
My Mum, as usual, say's 'look at the time!'and I have to make some excuse for being out so late.
I turn in so that I can get to sleep before the older members of my family start arriving and my thoughts are full of getting back to school tomorrow and meeting all my friends.
Well friends, the article ends there and here we are back in the year 2002.
Everything today is vastly different to the life that I, and we, knew then, whether it was in the East End of London, in Stamford Hill or Golders Green but one thing has remained completely unchanged and that is the bonds of friendship that we established in those heady days without even realising that this was what we were doing.
I would close my few words tonight with an appeal to you all.
I, and my family, have tried, in our own small way, to record the part that we played in the life of the East End before the war. Through newspaper articles, a Family Biography, Radio & television interviews, A Family tree, A Family Web Site and most recently a Family CD we have tried to record our past, for our children and our children's children. We hope that what we have put down will be a taster of what life was like in the days of our youth and what the clubs that we belonged to meant to us as a major part of those times.
Can I in turn ask all of you here tonight to record your own stories and to get them down in print in one form or another, while you can still remember them and while your friends are still here to confirm them for you. I would remind you that no one else is qualified to write your story and no one else is able to summon up your own memories and set them alive.
I look forward to meeting you again at some future occasion and hearing from you all about what you have written
Thank you for your attention and do keep well

When I got my hands on my Trish McEvoy Makeup Planner - link, a couple months ago one of my first thoughts was - this is so great! Why haven't other brands picked up on this & done their take on it? It seems like Laura Mercier read my mind as she has created a new limited edition Custom Artist Portfolio For Home & Away.
A deluxe makeup case that contains special compartments for all your cosmetics, brushes, eye liners, eyeshadows & face products!
Housed in a beautiful metallic snakeskin planner this is just a girls dream! Everything you use all in one handy place - perfect for travelling.
Housed in a beautiful metallic snakeskin planner this is just a girls dream! Everything you use all in one handy place - perfect for travelling.
What it comes with:
4 magnetic makeup bags you can remove and use by themselves if you wish
2 empty eyeshadow palettes - one with six slots and one with three
A removable brush holder
The Good
- Can fit all your makeup bits in one convenient place
- The makeup bags can be used separately
- Really easy to organise your makeup rather than rummaging for items
- The Brushes are covered by a flap so they are kept clean
- Fits tons!
- Such beautiful packaging!
The bad
- Is quite clunky
- Won't be able to fit it into a handbag
- Will probably take up more room in a suitcase than if all the same makeup was in a different bag
- The palettes will only fit Laura Mercier eyeshadows
- What I was most disappointed about - only Laura Mercier brushes will fit in the brush holder (apart from two slots) My Dior, Real Techniques & Louise Young brushes wouldn't fit!

On my first day in Toronto in 1980 I got taken to the set of the King of Kensington. It was still cold out and it was their last week of filming. Al Waxman, was walking around in a big housecoat Everyone was treating him very delicately and he kept crying and then hugging me telling me that I should call him if ever I needed anything. Years late the same Al Waxman was on Cagney and Lacy. By this time, I was living at Bathurst and Eglinton, and I saw him park his car in the lot below my apt. This time I was the one wearing a housecoat and crying because my career needed a boost. And so I got dressed and put my 8 x 10 pic on his windshield and told him, " I should play Sharen Gless' sister on the show. People thought I looked like her. I wrote my name and contact info.
A few hours later, I was at Second City rehearsing and the Box office gal told me my roommate had called. So I called home and was told Al Waxman had called and told me to give him a call. When I called back he told me he didn't have a job for me and he never remembered me from King of Kensington, but he thought I had a lot of chutzpah. And since I was a young Catholic girl.
had to look up that word. For I thought chutzpah, was challah which is egg bread.

Local food writer Priscilla Martel will teach a course, Food Writing (HSP249), at Gateway Community College, beginning January 28. The class is open to anyone who is passionate about food and wants to find a voice and mode of expression for writing about it.
"Everyone has their own flavorful story to tell," says Martel. "You don't have to have years of experience to write about food, who is cooking it, how it is being served and what food means.
Food Writing (HSP249) is offered on Wednesdays from 5:25 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. The 15-week class is especially designed for aspiring restaurant critics, food bloggers, and those who would like to break into the non-fiction market. It will cover blogging, memoir writing, restaurant reviewing, recipe writing and service articles and will help students develop their food vocabulary and communication skills. Martel's food-writing colleagues will be guest speakers that share their valuable practical tips on career success.
"The only prerequisite is enthusiasm and curiosity," says Martel.
Priscilla Martel is a former restaurateur and author of two best-selling culinary textbooks, On Cooking and On Baking. It was curiosity and enthusiasm that lead Martel to start her career by opening Restaurant du Village in Chester, Conn.—a recreation of the kind of village restaurant found in rural France. Martel's column All About Food appeared in Connecticut newspapers for many years and led to her work writing culinary textbooks and for national trade magazines.
"My food writing reflects my interest and experience," she says of a career writing recipes, educational materials and about food trend articles. "Everyone has their story and way of telling it. This class offers anyone the opportunity to talk about food whether their experience is as a cook or consumer."
Registration is ongoing through January 30 and spring semester classes begin January 23. New students should contact the admissions office at (203) 285-2010. For more information about registering for the Food Writing course, contact Stephen Fries, Professor & Coordinator Hospitality Management Programs at email@example.com.

In 1923, Bhagat Singh Thind, an Indian immigrant who had enlisted to fight in WWI and was a UC Berkley graduate, gave his case to the Supreme Court to become a naturalized American citizen. The Naturalization Law of 1906 stated that eligibility was reserved for immigrants who were "free white persons, and … aliens of African nativity and to persons of African descent." So Thind appealed that his background as a high-caste North Indian with ancestors of Aryan blood meant he was in fact, white.
The judge responded (emphasis added):
…it is a matter of familiar observation and knowledge that the physical group characteristics of the Hindus render them readily distinguishable from the various groups of persons in this country commonly recognized as white. The children of English, French, German, Italian, Scandinavian, and other European parentage, quickly merge into the mass of our population and lose the distinctive hallmarks of their European origin. On the other hand, it cannot be doubted that the children born in this country of Hindu parents would retain indefinitely the clear evidence of their ancestry. It is very far from our thought to suggest the slightest question of racial superiority or inferiority. What we suggest is merely racial difference, and it is of such character and extent that the great body of our people instinctively recognize it and reject the thought of assimilation.
In short, "it doesn't matter where you came from, it matters what you look like." Thind's citizenship was canceled, alongside fifty other Indians who had previously been naturalized. Despite his wish to integrate, American laws had deemed him an immigrant from an"Asiatic barred zone" who would have no hope to citizenship because his Aryan blood did not in fact mean he was white.
In 1921, just two years before Thind took his case to the Supreme Court to prove his whiteness, Tulsa, Oklahoma had the highest concentration of black prosperity in any American town. In the segregated city, the black-populated Greenwood — "Black Wall Street" as it's known now — had done well in the oil business, and had lucrative hotel businesses, movie theaters, banks as well as an investment in contemporary housing and public education. Ninety-four years ago to this day, an allegation of a black man's sexual assault on a white woman lead to one of the most violent acts of terrorism on American soil. Linda Cristenson details the events that occurred:
… deputized whites killed more than 300 African Americans. They looted and burned to the ground 40 square blocks of 1,265 African American homes, including hospitals, schools, and churches, and destroyed 150 businesses. White deputies and members of the National Guard arrested and detained 6,000 black Tulsans who were released only upon being vouched for by a white employer or other white citizen. Nine thousand African Americans were left homeless and lived in tents well into the winter of 1921.
Even while in compliance with segregation, the first industrial success for black people was not tolerated — it was obliterated and massacred until the survivors were left with the wreckage of their past community.
At the heart of Thind's Supreme Court case, the underlying question appears to be: what makes one white? It was a question Takao Ozawa asked in his Supreme Court case for citizenship in 1922 when he cited that his personal values made him, unlike Bendict Arnold, " [in] name… not an American, but at heart I am a true American" (Ozawa would lose his case because his fair Japanese skin could not be classified as Caucasian).
Is whiteness a matter of skin color? A matter of racial lineage? A matter of patriotism for a Western country? Or is it the ideology of racial superiority?
When appealing to the Supreme Court, Thind's lawyers assured that Thind himself did not approve of mixed-race marriages, stating he "regards the aboriginal Indian Mongoloid in the same manner as the American regards the Negro, speaking from a matrimonial standpoint." This is important. Just two years after the Bombing of Black Wall Street, at a time when Jim Crow had no end in sight, Thind used this defense. True to his word, when Thind eventually received citizenship in 1936, he married a white woman, Linda Thind.
By stating the definition "free white persons" of the Naturalization Law applied to them as candidates for citizenship, both Ozawa and Thind were not challenging the racial definitions of the law. They were bending to it. They didn't contend with the idea of an undesirable race, they were trying to prove they were not the undesirable race. They were trying to prove that despite not being European, they were still not black.
A sentiment of racial superiority remains prevalent with Asian-Americans today. Liz Lin writes in her article Why Asian Americans Might Not Talk about Ferguson of the "model minority myth":
Once [Asian immigrants are] here, they encounter the model minority myth, the erroneous belief that Asians have been more successful in America than other races because of inherent positive qualities… It also aligns us with white people, the people with power, the people we want to accept us … [a]nd sometimes we keep our distance from those at the bottom, consciously or otherwise, out of fear that others will lump us together.
Lin describes the line that divides some Asian-American communities from partaking in causes like Black Lives Matter — an immigrant mentality to succeed in a new country further fueled by a drive to elevate above the races "lower … on the social food chain." But is the mentality to avoid being viewed at the bottom of the food chain enough to save oneself discrimination and neglect?
Chinese-American Sherry Chen was a hydrologist for the National Weather Services who was accused of sending an email of stolen information about American dams to China — despite being cleared by the Department of Justice (in actuality, the email was sent to Chen's friend in China containing only public information about her work), she was let go by the NWS for her "[c]onduct of untrustworthiness." Sureshbahi Patel, a grandfather from Gujurat, India, was going for a stroll in Madison, Alabama, and when he was approached by the police responding to a complaint that a "skinny black guy" was on the streets, he tried to explaining that he was visiting his son and grandchildren — because he didn't speak English, the police threw Patel down and paralyzed him as they handcuffed him. Despite the Wall Street Journal writing in 2012 Asian-Americans "share with American Jews both the distinction and the occasional burden of immigrant success", the Census reporting period from 2007-2011 showed the number of Asian Americans living in poverty rose by 37 percent (the U.S. national increase was of 27 percent), with Cambodians (29.3 percent) and Hmong (37.8 percent) faring among the poorest in the nation. In Karan Mahajan's essay The Two Asian Americas, which references Erika Lee's "The Making of Asian America" to detail the gap in social statuses within Asian-American communities, he writes "In the eyes of some, Asians in America are, Lee writes, "perpetual foreigners at worst, or probationary Americans at best."
I'll remember Thind's persistence in fighting the Supreme Court and asserting his right to citizenship as a benchmark in America's racial history, but his appealing to the racist logic of the law did not equal opening up the borders between the US and India (the first step was made possible by other Asian activists like J.J. Singh and Diosdado Yap who lobbied Congress to pass the Luce-Celler Act of 1946.) America has progressed its definitions of citizenship, but there is still no image of "white" in which a man with a turban fits, nor is there one for a patriotic Christian Japanese American or a successful business person of African descent. The sooner we reject the myths of model minorities and of the model race, the sooner we can be able to accept each other as real human beings and fight for our rights together.

''I think your time will be soon,'' a counselor says to an AIDS patient. ''I hope so,'' the patient replies.
The moment takes place in a Los Angeles-area hospice, where men with AIDS await death in as much comfort as a sympathetic staff can provide. ''Living the Last Days,'' tomorrow at 10 P.M. on Channels 13 and 49, takes one inside Brownlie Hospice, which was opened around Christmas 1988 as an alternative to aggressive medical treatment and high hospital costs.
Even in the few minutes allowed to each of the six patients shown in this sad yet heartening report, they come through as distinct individuals; the imminence of death does not extinguish a lifetime of characteristics and attitudes.
One man, weary of the drugs and intravenous feedings in a hospital -''I couldn't live that way'' - seems to be willing himself to die. Another, feeling a little better, says, ''I look forward to the next day.'' Another is as disagreeable, disruptive and self-destructive in the face of death as he evidently was during much of his life.
At meetings, staff members speak frankly about how to discipline this patient, how to ease that one into an acceptance of death, whether to encourage a patient who insists on going back to work to do so. ''Why should I be ready to die?'' this man asks, a painful question in his circumstances. As he prepares to return to the job he loves, as a museum curator, a staff member tells him, ''You'll be the first one sprung from here - by the front door.''
In their encounters with patients, the doctor, nurses and social workers avoid wearing gloves and masks and do a lot of touching and caressing. Making contact is a big part of their work. They also try to find ways to comfort the relatives and lovers left behind - and to comfort themselves as the men in whom they have invested so much of their own feelings go, one after the other, to death. A lover of a resident says, ''They roll them in, they roll them out.''
Although Brownlie has only 25 beds, they are not filled; not many people seem prepared to enter what one calls ''a dying house.'' Yet as America tries to deal with the AIDS epidemic, it offers a lead for social policy. Supported by state and local governments, the hospice costs only $200 a day for each patient, compared with $1,000 a day in a hospital. And even more important is the example it offers of affectionate care for people who still remain frightening pariahs to some, and of dedication to the principle that individuals can make their own choice even when it must be the final one.Continue reading the main story

Such a shame especially that up until almost halfway I would have given this book a good 3 stars. It has such a unique premise with a super intriguing world that could have been awesome had it been executed much better. Unfortunately with an insufferable protagonist, the world building and plot were all that this book had left, and after seeing the halfway mark come and go, I realized that in both of these aspects it was beginning to fail miserably--and it didn't stop. Gray Weathersby is not a likeable MC. I was forewarned from other readers, though, so I knew to expect a douche who hits girls (he punches ones several times in the opening chapter), and is overall an arse. Thus it did not come as a shock when I didn't find myself in love with him. Still, I expected to come to understand him by the end. This did not happen. If only his behaviour would at least improve, but as the story progresses he only gets more annoying: thinking he's much better than he is (he's pretty full of himself); making demands when he's trapped in a risky situation with people who would--and want to--kill him (toopid); or saying things like:"All those times that I felt things for Bree, anytime there was even the slightest feeling of affection growing, I'd brushed it aside for Emma" As if this made him such a gentleman, someone who dances in fidelity's good graces. *snorts*Now for the world building, or the whole plot, really. Well, to be honest, it literally made me nauseous I wanted it to end so badly--so I think it's safe to say it's full of barf? It starts off with such a great premise too. It arouses many questions from the mysteries surrounding their lives--this heist thing truly had me fascinated for a bit--but then it all goes downhill when we start getting some less than interesting answers. Plus, it gets increasingly predictable the further you read, making it all the less exciting. It's like the plot simply becomes too crowded. Everything is a twist, no character is who you think they are; it's a little overwhelming, and not in a good way. Then there are a lot of little quirks along the way that only ground my dissatisfaction further: How, for example, they arrive in a withering post apocalyptic town where we're told they have to ration water and supplies, but the first thing the people in charge do is give Emma a makeover: face make-up to the max, eyebrow tweeze, high heels etc. What is up with that? I can see dystopians where this might work--Like Fever by Lauren Destefano--but it did not fit in the world we see beyond these wall. It only felt illogical. Then, how about when towards the end we have this deus ex machina who conveniently helps them along in an impossibly tight situation. This person was a nobody, came from nowhere, and was dismissed and forgotten after saving their asses... Sure these might seem minimal when taken individually, but these were just a few examples and everything together makes a mess of this plot. It was a good premise... until it wasn't.I'm not even going to go into the horrid love triangle. I still have not recovered. I've read a lot of dystopians, and maybe it's part of why this one annoyed me so much, but in the end I found it was nothing more than that: a regurgitated dystopian novel. But it tries so hard. So so hard. Let's all give it a moment of silence. --An advance copy was provided by the publisher for review.For more of my reviews, visit my blog at Xpresso Reads
