Among the blessings of my work as a funeral director is that it has put me in earshot of the reverend clergy trying to make sense of senseless things: the man who kills his wife, their poodle, and then himself; a mother who drowns her baby then does her nails; the teenager with the broken heart and loaded pistol; the tumors and emboli, flus and tsunamis, deadly contagions and misadventures - the endless renditions of the Book of Job. [...] I know when the clergy who meet us in the journey - whether male or female, gay or straight, celibate or sexually active, whether robed in talliths or white chasubles, Brooks Brothers suits or business casual, reciting from Bible or Torah, Qur'an or Zen koan, with incense, icon, or ancient liturgy - I know they bring a brave and sacred narrative to b...
[Betty Friedan]," I inquired, "never having been on national television, and barely having been on local radio, what might I talk about? Her "coaching" was a success. We became skilled negotiators with the heads of corporate America, who served us coffee from silver pots, and were joined at the hip with their nervous lawyers. "We'd like to accommodate you," the suits would say, "but viewers just won't watch the news if it is delivered by a female. They won't take the female voice seriously." Betty guided us, walking the walk against the multi-national corporations. A few months before the 50th anniversary of women getting the vote, on Aug. 26, 1920, Betty came up with her brilliant idea of a National Women's Strike on Aug. 26, 1970. "We would strike in every city in the country, to pr...

Within the SME sector, women are responsible for about one third of all start-up businesses in the UK. They are vital to the economy and future growth of the SME sector. Their dynamism and enterprise enriches the sector. Despite the positive contribution and untapped potential of women in business, it appears that women may need help in seeing themselves as entrepreneurs and as leaders, and in enhancing their personal skills and the viability, growth potential, and sustainability of their businesses. The key question is: Do they get the help they need? If not, why not, and what, if anything, needs to change? This article sets out to look at these issues. It seeks to identify current good practice in terms of available support and to produce and pilot recommendations that will improve cu...

[...] for increasing numbers of very young black and Hispanic lesbians, the bitches-and-'hos lyrics of their musical heroes are the soundtrack for a thug's life they pursue with almost as much passion as they do the hottest femme in the club. [...] Peddle says that today, very young lesbians of color in New York are creating a new, insular scene that's largely cut off from the rest of the gay and lesbian community. Buckle was stabbed, and identified Johnson as his attacker, telling the press that he was the victim of a hate crime against straight men.

The plot focuses on Laura Quinn (Demi Moore), an executive at London Diamond, the world's largest purveyor of a Girl's Best Friend. But the company is not Laura's best friend-she's been passed over for promotion six times in three years, by men with fewer qualifications. And she's about to be laid off, despite-or perhaps because of-her brilliant plan for outfoxing the Soviets (whose role in the story, like a few other things, remains murky). Hobbs (Michael Caine), the building's night janitor, is privy, to this information and much more. Hoping for a little something-like a thermos bottle's worth of diamonds-to sweeten his impending retirement, he asks Laura to help him, in exchange for half the loot. We find out about Hobbs's other motive later. What it lacks in heart-pounding suspense...

The most intriguing and original designers who also received very strong and positive responses from the audience were the Avark and Mutamba Collections. Avark presented clothes for home, socializing and work (with three piece suits) in an afro-centric style using cotton and linen in an effective manner. The outfits also come with accessories such as men's Satchels and ladies' bags made of leather, canvas and burlap. All items were completed with powerful Afro-centric designs. Avark designs are all hand made. Mutamba (a combination of the names Mutabaruka (yes the famous dub poet and radio personality) and Amber) presented clothes that had no hooks, buttons or zippers, they showed a variety of outfits that could be used in formal or casual setting with a strong emphasis on powerful, div...
