November 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) One of these people is Thuli Dumisani, thirty years old Zulu woman, an ex-secretary of a law firm turned jobless and footloose like several other South Africans. She happens to be the main character in a new book titled Kiss of a Black Woman. The book is currently in development for a feature film with local award winning actress Zandile Msutwana for the lead character. Without giving the story away, Thuli is a special lady stripped of dreams and happiness. She finds a job in a small hotel, and meets Ross, an Italian man on holiday in South Africa. When he invites her to join him at a sunset musical concert in Cape Town, natural beauty override everyone forcing Thuli to see and appreciate life in a much rich and beautiful way.
Thuli's story unfolds beautifully alongside the unique natural beauty that attracts thousands of tourists, business people and migrants from all over the world to this great African country. Key things to note when visiting, you have to have a desire to appreciate people like Thuli with courage to put their problems aside and make the most of every moment. Then start your trip from Johannesburg and visit the amazing sights located in around the city. To name a few Soweto, SunCity, Megalisburg etc. When you are done with that, prepare yourself to explore and discover new and existing natural wonders in the mother city that is Cape Town.
Kirstenbotch botanical garden as you will read in the book, is located in Cape Town, and is the first botanical garden in the world to be devoted to a country's indigenous flora with extraordinary rich plant and animal life. Similar to it is the Garden Route special for an experience of golden beaches. At the heart of the city is Table Mountain sitting close to Long street, not to be missed for its irresistible ambiance and night life. In addition a planned coastal drive will get you across some of the cities secrete wonders, Chapmans' peak, Sandy bay and on the west you'll find Atlantis with snow-white sand dune stretching into the Atlantic ocean.
Having said that, I recommend you read the book Kiss of a Black Woman and appreciate the unique blend of romance, wit and drama inspired by everything from the Author's experience helping his parents in large cassava farms to exploring this extraordinarily African country. The book is available for all bookstores through Ingram, leading distributor of books worldwide.
Visit http://www.amazon.com or http://www.amazon.co.uk to search for the book and read about the Author Matthew Ojoduma and have a look at the book's sample chapter.

Prompt Proofing Blog Post: Book Review - Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie
2012-11-23
Midnight's Children is a multi-layered novel that, on the surface, is the autobiography of Saleem Sinai, one of 1001 children born in the midnight hour of August 15, 1947 as India gained her independence from Britain. Midnight's children - or at least the 581 of them who survive infancy - are "handcuffed to history", their lives mirroring the life of the newly independent nation. Each of the children has a special gift - one can levitate, one can change gender, one performs magic and one can time travel. Saleem, born on the stroke of midnight, has the gift of ...

When conservation goes genomics: Finding needles in a haystack
2012-11-22
Studying the genetic variability of endangered species is becoming increasingly necessary for species conservation and monitoring. But, endangered species are difficult to observe and sample, and typically harbour very limited genetic diversity. Until now, the process of finding genetic markers was time consuming and quite expensive. These obstacles make the collection of genetic data from endangered animals a difficult task to fulfill. A research team led by Lounès Chikhi (http://www.igc.gulbenkian.pt/research/unit/88), group leader at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência ...
New drug overcomes resistance in patients with rare sarcoma
2012-11-22
BOSTON – A new targeted drug demonstrated its ability to control metastatic
gastrointestinal stromal tumor, an uncommon and life-threatening form of sarcoma, after the disease had become resistant to all existing therapies, report investigators at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute who led the worldwide clinical trial.
The treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumor, or GIST, even in its advanced metastatic stage, has been dramatically improved with two oral targeted drugs – imatinib (Gleevec) and sunitinib (Sutent). To date, these have represented the only two FDA-approved ...
Deconstructing the redemptive power of 'bearing witness'
2012-11-22
The experience of genocide as transmitted trauma may not be universal, according to new ethnographic research published in Current Anthropology.
In the fields of human rights and memory studies, giving testimony about one's personal experience of genocide is believed to be both a moral duty and a psychological imperative for the wellbeing of the individual and the persecuted group to which she belongs. Accordingly, the coping strategies proposed to victims of genocide tend to be rather uniform: tell your story and do not let the violence you suffered be forgotten.

A step forward in regenerating and repairing damaged nerve cells
2012-11-22
A team of IRCM researchers, led by Dr. Frédéric Charron, recently uncovered a nerve cell's internal clock, used during embryonic development. The discovery was made in collaboration with Dr. Alyson Fournier's laboratory at the Montreal Neurological Institute. Published today in the prestigious scientific journal Neuron, this breakthrough could lead to the development of new tools to repair and regenerate nerve cells following injuries to the central nervous system.
Researchers in Dr. Charron's laboratory study neurons, which are the nerve cells that make up the central ...
Stem cells develop best in 3-D
2012-11-22
Scientists from The Danish Stem Cell Center (DanStem) at the University of Copenhagen are contributing important knowledge about how stem cells develop best into insulin-producing cells. In the long term this new knowledge can improve diabetes treatment with cell therapy. The results have just been published in the scientific journal Cell Reports.
Stem cells are responsible for tissue growth and tissue repair after injury. Therefore, the discovery that these vital cells grow better in a three-dimensional environment is important for the future treatment of disease with ...
First patients in US receive non-surgical device of sunken chest syndrome
2012-11-22
NORFOLK, VA -- Surgeons at Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters (CHKD) have fitted a patient with a device that might eliminate the need for surgery in some patients with one of the world's most common chest deformities, pectus excavatum, often called sunken chest syndrome.
Known as the vacuum bell, it works much like devices in body shops that use sustained vacuum to pop out a dent.
"Years from now, we may look at the surgeries and realize that many of these conditions could have been corrected with vacuum devices," said Dr. Robert J. Obermeyer, who is leading ...
How does immune globulin therapy work? Now is the time to find out
2012-11-22
Immune globulin replacement began decades ago as a treatment for patients who could not make their own protective antibodies, but has proven to have much broader benefits than originally expected. With new uses regularly being discovered for this limited and expensive resource, including as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease, now is the time to discover exactly how intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) treatments work, and to engineer a protein that can provide similar benefits, writes Erwin Gelfand, MD, chair of pediatrics at National Jewish Health in the November ...
