Five major Citrix partner program changes for 2022 – Finance – Software

A departing channel chief. Reorganizing partner account managers. Rethinking incentives and new auto-approvals for partners.

Sault: Air review – a daring act of creative rebirth pays off | sault

Not until you've listened to Rakim on a rocky mountaintop / Have you heard hip-hop,” mused poet/MC Saul Williams on his landmark 1998 polemic Twice the First Time, relocating the art form from the urban context that birthed it and challenging us to reconsider its possibilities. The startling and often brilliant sixth album from Sault is a similarly daring act of creative rebirth, swapping out the kaleidoscopic, razor-sharp funk/soul/rap/dub/whatever of their previous boundary-breaking work for an entirely new and unexpected paradigm.Though notorious for their love of mystery, it is now generally known that Sault are led by Dean Josiah Cover. Better known as Inflo, the producer of award-winning albums by Michael Kiwanuka and Little Simz, Cover will probably live comfortably off his con...

‘It’s crazy’: the doctor who faces jail in Argentina for giving a legal abortion | reproductive rights

Doctor Miranda Ruiz went to work one Friday in September knowing she was likely to be arrested.The prosecutor of Tartagal, a city in Argentina's province of Salta, had announced his intentions the day before: that Ruiz, 34, would be stopped for administering an abortion – in a country that had legalized the procedure less than a year earlier.“I couldn't believe it, it was very surreal,” Ruiz said. “It's crazy to jail a doctor who performed a legal abortion when there is a national law that permits it.”Ruiz had been working in a drop-in clinic in Tartagal when a 21-year-old came in. A team of doctors assessed the woman, who was 22 weeks pregnant, and determined she met the criteria for a late-stage abortion – her health was at risk.
