ELITE POLITIQUE ET SOUVERAINETE DE LA REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO. POUR LA CONQUETE DE LA PAIX DES TERRITOIRES DE FIZI ET UVIRA, SUD-KIVU EN R. D. CONGO

Elite Politics and Sovereignty in the Democratic Republic of Congo. For Lasting Peace in The Fizi and Uvira Territories, South Kivu in D.R. Congo. Respect for the sovereignty of Congo-Kinshasa is an issue that has remained a preoccupation. This has been the case since its birth on July 1, 1885, in the Berlin Conference. This sovereignty has been flouted both internally and externally for 138 years. Intra- and inter-community tensions have taken root in every territory, with Fizi and Uvira being particularly hard hit. There is a real contrast with the euphoria that would have us believe that the post-colonial period would be one of celebration and universal deliverance, of man's rise to the highest degree of his symbolic faculties, etc. Jean Claude Willame describes the dreams of the first Congolese "évolués", auxiliaries of white power, as being about the beautiful cars, mansions, etc., that they would be able to acquire at the moment of independence. Thomas Kanza puts it this way: "We were happy to be ministers ... we used to discuss which offices we would occupy, where we would live, how we would divide up among ourselves. The various regimes since the assassination of the 1st Prime Minister Patrice-Emery Lumumba to Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, have been characterized by the "zombification of power" and the decline of democratic governance.

Zen for Strategy

Iconoclasts with strongly held beliefs and a willingness to buck orthodoxy, Apple's Steve Jobs and the Chicago Bulls' Phil Jackson shared similarities in character, leadership style, and life experience that extended beyond the extraordinary successes they achieved in their chosen fields. Both came of age in the United States of the mid-20th century, a time and place characterized by Americans' growing interest in philosophical traditions outside of the Western mainstream. In their teens and twenties, both men became interested in Eastern religious practices. As young men, Jobs (who would as a teenager travel to India to study Buddhism) and Jackson (whose interest in Eastern practices earned him the nickname The Zen Master) developed a particular affinity for the Zen tradition of Buddhism, which had a lasting influence on each man's worldview. Although Jackson and Jobs were very different leaders operating in remarkably different industries, both men's rise to the top of intensively competitive fields were influenced by their commitment to three Zen principles: nondualism, practical wisdom, and inherent enlightenment.This note gives a brief overview of the history of Zen and the philosophical framework that underpins it, then describes the potential that these three tenets hold for unlocking strategic insights. Excerpt UVA-S-0318 Rev. Jan. 10, 2020 Zen for Strategy San Francisco, California, January 2007 Dressed in his usual blue jeans and black turtleneck, Steve Jobs strode across the stage at San Francisco's Moscone Center to deliver the Macworld 2007 keynote address. Apple's annual extravaganza attracted tens of thousands of technology enthusiasts eager to learn about the company's latest innovations. For the many software developers, journalists, and fans in attendance, Jobs's remarks and dramatic presentation were Macworld's most anticipated event. Ten years earlier, Jobs had been reinstated as CEO to the company he cofounded, having been fired by John Sculley a dozen years earlier. At the time of Jobs's return, Apple was losing market share, laying off employees, and near insolvency. But over the next decade, Apple would return from the brink of bankruptcy to become a highly profitable Wall Street darling and a dominant brand on the cutting edge of consumer technology. Many of the products that fueled Apple's reemergence—the iMac computer, the OS X operating system, the iTunes online media marketplace, and the iPod music player—had been introduced in one of Jobs's Macworld keynote addresses. . . .

At the Crossroads of Law and Society: The Trial of Mendel Beilis

The trial of Mendel Beilis lies at the crossroads of numerous points of interests. It reveals on one level the intensity of one man's rise in an existential sense to the demands of a situation into which he was thrust suddenly and utterly without warning. From this perspective, it is a story of captivating human and psychological interest. The legal proceedings reflected a torn and complex society on the verge of implosion, as well as one in which the tsarist judicial system, although subject to corruption and fraud at the highest levels, nevertheless had a considerable measure of independence. The trial oscillated between a story of the failures and the triumphs of justice. Finally, the trial reflected and animated fierce anti-Semitism as well as unexpectedly dedicated and enlightened support for Beilis in the Christian world of Russia and beyond, with the incipient Russian Revolution as an important context. I try to illustrate these various intersecting points of interest with the assistance of sources such as the trial transcripts, Beilis's memoirs, the memoirs of one of his defense lawyers, O. O. Gruzenberg, and Léon Poliakov's analysis of anti-Semitism in Russia during that period.

Divine Mercy as a Sign of God's Almightiness

Mercy has a special place and meaning in the Christian doctrine. It is connected with God's almightiness. In view of that mercy is not a display of weakness or powerlessness, but a demonstration of God's active and creative love. God is almighty, he does as He pleases, according to the truth and justice, rules over everything according to His own will and nothing is to difficult for Him. However, the biggest display of this almightiness is forgiveness which touches the depths of sinner's heart. That is why God's almightiness does not limit human dignity nor freedom in any way, but protects human life and constitutes a foundation for man's rise from sin through gift of grace. It defines proper Christian spirituality: personal experience of mercy, forgiveness of sins and forgiveness towards men, acceptance of the gift of indulgences and jubilee years. Performing works of mercy in imitation of God is as well of big importance.

Influence of gender on post-tetanic potentiation in human dorsiflexors

Twitch contractions of the ankle dorsiflexors were evoked before and after 7 s of tetanic stimulation at 100 Hz in young women and men. Torque decreased more in men (18%) than in women (12%) during the tetanus. There was no gender difference in twitch peak torque potentiation over the 5-min post-tetanus. Potentiation was 42% (women) and 45% (men) at 5 s post-tetanus, and still present at 5 min (women 24%, men 25%). The immediate (5 s) shortening of twitch rise time was similar in women (14%) and men (13%), but during the 5-min men's rise time came to exceed whereas women's only approached pretetanus values (e.g., +9% vs. -1% at 5 min). The immediate decrease in half-relaxation time was also similar in women (24%) and men (22%); however, women's but not men's values remained less than pretetanus values for most of the 5-min period. Twitch rate of torque development increased similarly (75%) in women and men at 5 s, with no gender difference over 5 min. In contrast, rate of torque relaxation increased significantly only in men. Rate of torque development normalized to peak torque was similar in women and men pretetanus and increased similarly 5 s post-tetanus, but women had greater values through most of the 5-min post-tetanus. Normalized rate of torque relaxation was similar in women and men and not affected by tetanus. In the dorsiflexor muscles, young women and men show a similar amount and pattern of twitch force potentiation, but there are gender differences in time-related twitch contractile properties in the first 5 min after tetanus.Key words: contraction, muscle, twitch.

Money, Desire, and History in Eduardo Mendoza's City of Marvels

Eduardo Mendoza's City of Marvels recuperates the historical novel while subjecting it to the conventions of romance. These generic strategies relate to the manifest self-made man's rise to economic might between the two Barcelona World's Fairs and Barcelona's development as a modern metropolis—and to a later celebration: the 1992 Olympic Games. The depiction of the adventures of capital and the production of marvels responds to the bourgeoisie's role in Spain's modernization and to money's mediating function as a symbol of desire. The accomplishment of marvels involves the conquest of time and the substitution of illusory timelessness for historical contingencies. Timelessness mediated by money negates history through the production of ersatz historical images, which reinscribe an idealized past as the object of desire. A restoration—the figurative replication of historical events—is the response to nostalgia for a missed historical opportunity by a subject seeking myth's illusory power.

Some Principles of Autobiography

CRITICS OF AUTOBIOGRAPHY still preside over an unfederated domain, so each feels compelled to begin with a new definition of the genre. We have an ample number of precedents, ranging from hostility to encomia, most of them centering on the relative value of history and art, fiction and fact. Others, tracing the growth of autobiography since the Middle Ages, call it a history of the human mind, reflecting man's rise from dogma to greater individuality. But these views all pack the same evolutionary bias: that recent lives are necessarily more complex, and their stories more challenging; that the content of a life shapes the form of its story, and not the other way around. Of paramount importance to most critics is the autobiographer's ideology or profession, which supposedly influenced the events and values of his book. So the critics customarily divide authors into separate categories and-working like so many vocational counselorsgrade them according to religious denomination or social class. As a result, we learn that a faith produces a simple narrative, that a soldier writes as a soldier, a poet always as a poet.1 While this definition of autobiography may be useful for social historians, it is hardly a suitable basis for critical evaluation. Some readers have resisted the occupational mode of defining autobiography, preferring a broader and more inclusive scheme of classification. A partial disclaimer appears in Roy Pascal's influential book Design and Truth in Autobiography, which argues convincingly that autobiography is a unique literary form, offering its close readers a complex set of interpretive problems. But Pascal's sensitive analysis of the genre is marred by rather insistent value judgments. The true autobiography, in his opinion, tells us not merely of remembered deeds and thoughts, but

Man's Role in Changing the Face of the Earth

This book presents a large-scale multidisciplinary evaluation of what has happened and is happening to the earth under man's impress. It includes the papers presented by fifty-three eminent scholars at a major conference on ecology one of the first ever held sponsored by the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research. A pioneering publication in the field of environmental research, the work has steadily contributed to ecological studies, and is now considered a classic. The volume is organized into three parts. Part 1 deals with man's rise to the status of ecological dominance, and includes discussions of such topics as the role of fire as the first great force harnessed by man, early food-producing populations, the clearing of Europe's woodlands, subsistence economies and commercial economies, and the natural history of urbanization. Part 2 investigates environmental changes such as man's impact upon the seas and coastlines. The highly topical ecology of wastes is discussed, as well as urban-industrial demands and the depletion of natural resources. Part 3 is concerned with the limits of the earth's resources. It includes papers dealing with the population spiral, possible limitations of raw-material consumption and energy use, and technological denudation. Each part is accompanied by a report summarizing the ideas discussed at the conference by the participants.

SYPHILIS AND THE AMERICAN NEGRO

Any study of a disease as applied to an entire branch of a race must necessarily take up the sociology of that race. The knowledge of syphilis as affecting the Caucasian, however profound, will not give one an insight into the conditions confronting the negro, and the chief reason for attempting this paper is the lack of statistical material on the subject and the consequent general ignorance that exists in what might be called the white zones of our country. About seven-eighths of the entire American negro race live in our Southern States, and the Southern man is a practical authority on the subject of conditions that oppose the black man's rise in the world. This knowdledge is, however, of but little value to the world at large, because it is not down in black and white. This lack of statistics on the negro is at once
