My name is Christopher Aqurette and I m the new temporary manager at Noaks Ark Syd. I was employed as a projectleader in May so I m fairly new at Noaks Ark Syd. But I have lots of years in working with HIV. My first job with HIV was as a condom distributor for RFSL in Stockholm. It was Three years later, I was employed by RFSL Stockholm as a HIV informant with a focus on young HBTQ people. At that time, I was young, myself. Before joining Noaks Ark in Malmö, I worked for over ten years with RFSL Rådgivningen Skåne, first as an HIV informant and later as chairman of the board. That organization differs slightly from the Ark, because the chairman performs many of the tasks that a manager is usually responsible for. With me from RFSL, I have more than twenty years of experience in working with HIV and good education in labor law and human resources. I have also been a manager earlier, which I think is an advantage when Noah's Ark South is going through difficult but necessary changes. Best Noaks regards Ark Syd, Malmö.

4 A revue, what is that? In the Culture and Theater association Peacock's performance "For me it s a revue", Håkan Sleman tries to answer that question by presenting new and old revue numbers that he has written over the years. In his declaration of love for the revue he tells him what revy is for him and also shouts some of his revolver songs like Zarah Leander and Karl Gerhard. Director: Miguel Ángel Fraga. The revue artist Håkan Sleman is a man with over 25 years of experience from stage and dais. He has worked with most of the major revues in Skåne. Håkan is educated by the old school and can therefor convey a text with feeling, elegance and a text where no syllable is lost.
