Photo by: Disney/Eric McCandless Reading Time: 3 minutes Next Tuesday’s episode of Dancing With The Stars is set to feature a high-powered fusion of pop and R&B. The dance competition series will be honoring the music of Whitney Houston on the special theme night. On par with the occasion, the episode will also feature a Dance-Off. Since Ariana Madix and Pasha Pashkov were at the top of last week’s leaderboard, they will not take part in the Dance-Off.
In May 1947, LIFE magazine devoted a full page to a picture taken by a photography student named Robert Wiles. The photograph is extraordinary in several ways—not least because it remains, seven decades later, one of the most famous portraits of suicide ever made. Along with Malcolm Browne’s 1963 image of a self-immolating Buddhist monk and a small handful of other photos of men and women seen before, during, or after their own self-slaughter, Wiles’ picture graphically and unforgettably captures the destruction—both literal and figurative—that attends virtually all suicides.
Practised throughout history, in every culture and on every continent, poetry speaks to our common humanity and our shared values, transforming the simplest of poems into a powerful catalyst for dialogue and peace. World Poetry Day is the occasion to honour poets, revive oral traditions of poetry recitals, promote the reading, writing and teaching of poetry, foster the convergence between poetry and other arts such as theatre, dance, music and painting, and raise the visibility of poetry in the media.

One story is that he was buried under a great tree and that picked warriors stood guard until a forest grew to hide the spot.
