  This amazingly unique compendium tells the story of the journey travelled since the launch of the Number 43 Legacy Events, dedicated principally to celebrating those who dared their lives for a total liberation of the people of South Africa. It is also, to document this history through the arts, for future generations to appreciate the invaluable power of simple and humble celebrations. Most importantly, it was to commemorate the passing of uMagogo in September of 2007. 
  There is no better way of preserving these memories, than use a youthful artist of today, to tell the stories through poetry. 
  The Masilela Family and the Extended Family of Number 43 are eternally grateful to this amazing interpretation and fitting contribution by Noluthando Buthelezi, of Soweto, who donated her time and intellect to interpret the story of Number 43 and craft 10 beautiful poems, to signify 10 Years of solid accomplishment.

  How four American cities shaped Poe's life and writings 
   
   
   
  Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) changed residences about once a year throughout his life. Driven by a desire for literary success and the pressures of supporting his family, Poe sought work in American magazines, living in the cities that produced them. Scott Peeples chronicles Poe's rootless life in the cities, neighborhoods, and rooms where he lived and worked, exploring how each new place left its enduring mark on the writer and his craft. 
   
   
   
  Poe wrote short stories, poems, journalism, and editorials with urban readers in mind. He witnessed urban slavery up close, living and working within a few blocks of slave jails and auction houses in Richmond and among enslaved workers in Baltimore. In Philadelphia, he saw an expanding city struggling to contain its own violent propensities. At a time when suburbs were just beginning to offer an alternative to crowded city dwellings, he tried living cheaply on the then-rural Upper West Side of Manhattan, and later in what is now the Bronx. Poe's urban mysteries and claustrophobic tales of troubled minds and abused bodies reflect his experiences living among the soldiers, slaves, and immigrants of the American city.

  Depression VS Laziness - 6...

  In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to mistake symptoms of depression for laziness. The pressure to stay productive and achieve more can make anyone feel inadequate when they struggle with daily tasks. But while both laziness and depression can result in a lack of motivation or energy, they stem from very different causes and have vastly different implications. Recognizing the difference between the two is essential for self-compassion and for seeking the proper help and treatment. 
    
  Laziness is often associated with a lack of desire to do things, simply choosing to avoid effort or responsibility. It can be seen as a personal failing or a bad habit, something that can be corrected by willpower and discipline. However, the concept of laziness often oversimplifies the complex reasons people may avoid action. Many factors, including fear, perfectionism, or lack of structure, can contribute to this behavior. 
    
  Depression, on the other hand, is a mental health condition that goes far beyond feeling "lazy." It's characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Depression can impact every aspect of life, including sleep, appetite, and the ability to concentrate. Unlike laziness, which is typically seen as a temporary choice, depression can cause deep, overwhelming fatigue that can make even the most basic tasks feel insurmountable.

  Secret societies exist for one purpose – creating power, maintaining power and growing power. In-order to do so they have to control you and me. They have to manipulate markets, media, government and religion. This is how they do it.
