# Robert Rafsky

Robert Alan Rafsky (July 22, 1945 – February 21, 1993) was an American writer, publicist, and HIV/AIDS activist.

## Early life and education

Robert Alan Rafsky was born July 22, 1945, to civil servant William L. Rafsky of Łódź, Poland and Selma Rafsky née Chafets in Philadelphia. His family was politically active. Lawrence C. Rafsky was his brother. He enrolled at Harvard College in the fall of 1963. Rafsky lived in Wigglesworth and volunteered at the Loeb Drama Center. He was expelled for academic reasons but was later readmitted in 1964 and later became the managing editor of The Harvard Crimson. Rafsky graduated Harvard in 1968.

## Career

Rafsky worked as a teacher after graduation, but ultimately pursued more lucrative careers.
Rafsky worked in public relations in New York. He worked for the Empire State Development Corporation, Howard Rubenstein & Associates, and Pro-Media.
Rafsky became involved with ACT UP in 1987 after his diagnosis with AIDS. He later became the chief spokesperson of ACT UP, assisting the organization to gain prominent national coverage. Correspondent and organizer Victor Zonana remarked that Rafsky "was articulate, contentious, persuasive, dogged and very often right." David B. Feinberg called Rafsky the "heart and soul of ACT UP." Rafsky was a nationally recognized HIV/AIDS activist. His 1992 confrontation with then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton secured much publicity and made HIV/AIDS a presidential campaign issue. Rafsky said, "I can't calm down. I'm dying of AIDS while you're dying of ambition," to which Clinton eventually responded, "I feel your pain." Rafsky also helped draft an AIDS agenda for the Clinton Administration. Additionally, in 1992 Rafsky delivered a speech titled "Bury Me Furiously" at the funeral of fellow ACT UP member Mark Fisher. Within the speech, Rafsky demanded change and publicly denounced the Bush administration for their negligence of the AIDS epidemic. The impact of both the confrontation with Bill Clinton and "Bury Me Furiously" led to not only increased national awareness for the epidemic, but priority for policy within the Clinton administration.
Rafsky was an active member of the Treatment Action Group. Peter Staley said that Rafsky was "enormously influential" in one-to-one interactions. Rafsky wrote personal essays about AIDS for The New York Times, The Village Voice, New York Daily News, OutWeek, and QW. He was writing a book comprising letters to his daughter at the time of his death.

## Personal life

He was married to Babette Krolik and had a daughter named Sara. He came out in 1985 and later divorced his wife, sharing joint custody of their daughter. It was at this time that Rafsky began telling his friends he was gay. Around 1987, he contracted AIDS. He died of AIDS-related complications on February 21, 1993, at the New York University Medical Center.

## Legacy

Rafsky's role with ACT UP was a focal part of the 2012 documentary How to Survive a Plague.

## North Otago

Pila Fifita debuted for North Otago in 2000. He along with most of his teammates suffered losses in his first two seasons the worst being in 2001 in the NPC final, but he enjoyed success in 2002 when he was a main part of the NPC 3rd Division winning team. In 2002, he scored 15 tries for the season including three hat-tricks, the best coming in the final against Horowhenua-Kapita making him the first person out of any of the NPC divisions to score three tries in a NPC final. He ended up scoring 79 points for the season. Fifita played many matches for North Otago the last coming at the end of the 2005 season, he was a stand out player in the union and he was arguerably one of North Otago's greatest and most valuarable players.

## Saracens

After playing for North Otago Fifita signed a deal with European club Saracens in 2004. The Saracens head coach Rod Kafer said "We have been looking to get the correct balance and variety in our back line and we feel Pila will provide that. He's a very powerful player who can break the gain line and carry the ball in an uncompromising way. We've cast the net far and wide in order to get the balance in our squad."

## Fukuoka Sanix Blues

After playing a couple of seasons in Europe for Saracens he went to play for the Japanese club Fukuoka Sanix Blues in the Top League. He is currently still playing for the Fukuoka Sanix Blues.

## Tonga

In 2003, after playing impressive matches for North Otago in 2002 and 2003, Pila Fifita was called into the Tongan rugby world cup squad to replace Aisea Havili after he withdrew because of a leg injury. North Otago chief executive Ian Patterson said Fifita's selection was exciting for the province. "We're absolutely thrilled for Pila. He's had a very strong couple of seasons and it's great for him to get this reward. He's a major part of our team and we will miss him". Fifita got to play one match in the 2003 rugby world cup on 29 October against Canada. In 2005, Fifita was again called into the Tongan rugby team but like in 2003 he only played one match.

# Caecocypris

Caecocypris basimi, the Haditha cavefish, is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to Iraq, only occurring in aquifers near Haditha. It is found in an underground sinkhole directly under a shrine the only way to access which is a well 5m below the shrine. This cavefish is the only member of its genus. The species is classed as Critically endangered, possibly extinct, by the IUCN, as there have been no records since 1983 despite a comprehensive survey in 2012. The primary threat is water extraction, which has lowered the groundwater level. It is placed as one of the top 10 lost freshwater fishes to be found.
The cavefish Garra widdowsoni is found in the same place and it has also drastically declined, but it is not as rare as Caecocypris basimi. The only other known cavefish in Iraq is Eidinemacheilus proudlovei.
The holotype of Caecocypris basimi, collected by Dr. Basim M Al Azzawi in 1977, is deposited at the British Museum of Natural History and other specimens are at the Australian Museum.
# Ziyara (Druze)

Ziyara (Arabic: زِيَارَة, romanized: Ziyāra) is the Druze pilgrimage observed annually between 25 and 28 April at the Shrine of Shu'ayb, the shrine which Druzians believe contains the purported tomb of prophet Shu'ayb. It is officially recognized as a public holiday in Israel.

## Holiday

The Druze generally only celebrate one holiday, Eid al-Adha. The Druze community in Israel under the leadership of Sheikh Amin Tarif, however, has endowed this period with a special status, deeming the ziyara a festive day by law. Workers are allowed to take a break from work without infringing their workers' rights. Schools operating under the Druze education system are closed for the period, while Druze soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces are also given the period as a vacation. The whole community, not just religious Druze in Israel, celebrates this Ziyara.

## Observation

The celebration starts on 25 April and concludes on 28 April, with many religious leaders from all the religions in Israel, and also political leaders (occasionally also the PM), coming to congratulate the Israeli Druze community during their festivities at the Maqam al-Nabi Shu'ayb. Religious leaders or sheikhs from Mount Carmel, the Galilee and the Golan Heights take the opportunity to discuss religious issues.

## Visits of Druze from Syria, Lebanon and Jordan during Ziyaras

* Since 1968, Druze from the Golan Heights can freely visit the shrine and they are also involved in the feast.
* Other Syrian Druze outside the Golan never used to be involved at the celebrations.
* Lebanese Druze rarely visited the shrine, but in 1982 a group from Lebanon, during the Israeli occupation of the south, answered the call of Sheikh Amin Tarif to visit.
* Following the Israel–Jordan peace treaty in 1994, Jordanian Druze are permitted to visit the shrine throughout the year, and their visits are not restricted to the festive period.

# 2013 Comorian coup attempt

The 2013 Comorian coup attempt was a failed coup d'état in the Comoros against President Ikililou Dhoinine. Motives for the coup include discontent from the dismissals of officials connected with Dhoinine's predecessor Ahmed Abdallah Sambi, such as the head of the army. Former President Sambi, who had backed Dhoinine in the 2010 Comorian presidential election, was sidelined and kicked from his inner circle after the election.
In April 2013, state security apprehended as many as sixteen individuals due to suspicions of "planning a destabilizing act" within the country. Those detained include the son of former President Ahmed Abdallah Abderemane and a former Minister - Mahmoud Ahmed Abdallah. Foreign nationals were also implicated in the scheme, namely a French national, a Chadian national, and five Congolese nationals. The remaining individuals were Comorian military and civilian personnel. The detainees were then taken into custody in Kandani military camp.
France indicated its willingness to cooperate with the Comoros, with the French ambassador pledging the country's support after being informed some of its citizens were involved in the foiled coup.
Three days after the suspects were detained, Interior Minister Hamada Abdallah confirmed the coup attempt but provided no further details, only assuring that the country was safe, saying "Be reassured, because the country is safe." Though opposition leaders initially criticized the government for their secrecy regarding information around the incident, they later organized protests along with the ruling party to denounce the coup attempt. The united march centered around condemning mercenaries aiming to disrupt political stability within the country as the opposition claimed Patrick Klein, who had worked under the infamous Bob Denard, had significant involvement in the failed coup. Bob Denard was involved in four different coup attempts in the Comoros.

# Presbyterian High School, Maitland

Presbyterian High School is a heritage-listed former high school and manse at 12–14 Free Church Street, Maitland, City of Maitland, New South Wales, Australia. It is also known as the Presbyterian High School/Manse. The property is owned by Roman Catholic Church Trustees. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

## History

The school was first established by William McIntyre, pastor of the West Maitland Presbyterian Church, at the site of the Presbyterian manse. The foundation stone for the school was laid by McIntyre on 25 September 1855; his brother, Rev. Allan McIntyre, was the first rector or principal. Samuel Griffith, future Premier of Queensland and Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia and Charles Pilcher, later a local MP and King's Counsel, were among the students at the school.
The Presbyterian High School was relatively short-lived before its closure. A Mrs. Johnson operated a private ladies' high school out of the buildings during the 1870s and 1880s before it was acquired as the first premises of the West Maitland State High School for Girls, which opened on 21 January 1884. The new headmistress, Mary Olsen, was critical of the state of the building as "entirely out of repair and unfit for residence" and stating that the sanitary arrangements were "in such a condition that no students should come to school before improvements had been made". The school operated out of the buildings until the 1893 floods; after which Grossmann House was acquired as a new and less flood-prone school site.
By 1929, the premises was again being used as a manse.
It was threatened with demolition in the 1980s, but was prevented because of heritage concerns. A Permanent Conservation Order was granted on 8 May 1989. It is now incorporated into All Saints' College.

## Heritage listing

Presbyterian High School was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.
