|The Migrant Children In Urban Space And Economy: A Study Of Itanagar, The Capital Township Of Arunachal Pradesh, India
|Dr. Nandini.C.Singh
Abstract: In India, urban development in hilly and tribal regions of the country is of recent origin. Most of these regions with subsistence mode of production and egalitarian social setup, being in the geographical and economic periphery of the country have remained stagnated till recently. The North-Eastern part of India is one such example where the process of urbanization began late and started growing mainly in the post independence era, more as an after effect of the plan and policies of the government. Consequently the associated features of getting urban started manifesting its impact in the form of migration, Poverty and its associated features which are now obvious in most towns located or emerging in the tribal areas. Witnessing a transformation of the earlier tribal social ethos towards modernization, these societies are thereby breaking the age old traditions, getting reshaped as result of being suddenly exposed to the new culture and the waves of change in them. The impact is mostly felt in the catchment rural areas by the migrant laborers a majority of whom are children and the young people who constitute a sizable section of the tribal society in the form of residential domestic help and even commercial workers. Families of these teenagers migrant are forced to use their children as a source of economic sustenance by sending them out to the expanding towns and cities where there is high demand for children aged 14 and above, particularly among the Neo-rich and the nuclear families mostly as residential domestic help. This paper examines the mobility and space given to these rural migrant children who become the bread earners for their families and contribute to the urban economy through their unrecognized labour.
Key words; egalitarian, ethos, stagnated, subsistence, transformation, waves of change

|Colonial Conflicts leads to Alienation and Rootlessness in Achebe's No Longer at Ease
|Dr. Sakshi
Abstract: This article is an effort to bring in light the theme of alienation and rootlessness generated by colonial conflicts in Achebe's No Longer at Ease. Achebe through his writing shows that how colonial rule and English education reject native values and try to install Christianity as the only true faith and consider themselves racially superior to the natives. The whites colonize the natives to dominate over them and impost their own ideas and religious beliefs on them. Colonizer induced the colonized natives to abandon the way of life and culture and imitate the colonial's. As a result native began to practice European thinking and started to alienate from their culture and society For Achebe the worst consequences of colonization is that one is currently alienated from his own community. It seems that Achebe has conceived the story in the light of his own experience during the colonization of Africa by the whites. The purpose of this paper is to show how colonial conflicts bring changes in the life of natives and how they began to alienate from their own roots. Keywords – Achebe, Alienation, Colonial Conflicts, Community and Education.

|Prosocial Behavior in Different Situations among Men and Women
|Farha Iqbal
Abstract: To explore the influencing situations for prosocial behavior in men and women (both married and unmarried) between the age groups of 20-40 years. For this purpose a sample of 240 participants was presented with 4 different situations: 1) Accident Victim 2) Neighbor fighting 3) Molestation and 4) Shoplifting, then the participants were to decide from the options provided as to how they would intervene with the situation. Out of the 240 participants, 120 were males & 120 females, of which 60 were married & 60 were not married. Chi square and t-test were used for calculation. Following results were shown: more people would help indirectly than directly & only few would not help in all the situations. It was also indicated that helping behavior would differ from situation to situation. Whereas there was no difference found between men and women (married or unmarried) that would help directly or indirectly.
Key words: Prosocial Behavior, Married, Unmarried, four situations, directly and indirectly helping.

|Women's Labour Supply in Nigeria: An Econometric Analysis
|Akin Iwayemi, M.O. Olusoji
Abstract: This paper examines two key issues central to the analysis of labour markets in Nigeria and other multi-ethnic and multi-cultural developing countries: women's labour force participation and the hours they work. Using a sample survey based on the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria, the study estimates labour participation rates using a logit model and hours worked using Heckman two-stage procedure. The results of the analysis show that women's labour force participation rates depend on age, education, ethnic origin, respondent's income, religion and relationship to the household head. The results confirm the impact of cultural and spatial heterogeneity on the responses of women to employment opportunities in the labour market.

|The Flight: Depiction of the American Dream in Tennessee Williams' Sweet Bird of Youth
|Kadavakollu Tejaswani, Ph. D.
Abstract: The United States of America"s Declaration of Independence proclaims that "life", "liberty" and "pursuit" of happiness are rights of individuals irrespective of their personal background. Most Americans believe that success can be achieved through hard work. Unfortunately, the American Dream was also distorted by certain people in the sense they aim at pursuing their individual happiness at the cost of harming the interests of others involved.

Abstract: Perception of risk of contracting HIV from spouses was assessed among 390 married women selected from workplaces and households in Omi-Adio, a peri-urban Nigerian community. A pre-tested questionnaire containing a 14-point knowledge scale and focus group discussion guide were used to collect data. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square and ANOVA while the qualitative data analysis was by themes. Mean age of respondents was 30.2±2.9 years, 67.2% were in monogamous unions. Mean knowledge score was 7.3±2.9 and was significantly influenced by age and level of education (p<0.05). Unprotected sex was perceived as the major route of infection (96.9%), 95.0% believed that women could get HIV from their spouses and 10.0% of these perceived themselves to be at personal risk. Perceived risk factors for HIV infection from spouses included polygyny (77.2%) and infidelity (51.5%). Main preventive measures identified were mutual faithfulness (82.0%), use of condom (8.5%) and traditional methods (6.7%). FGD respondents proffered satisfying one's spouse sexually so he doesn't indulge in extra-marital affairs and providing one's spouse with condoms as strategies for preventing HIV infection. Culturally sensitive health promotion programmes targeting couples aimed at increasing knowledge and uptake of effective preventive measures to reduce women's vulnerability are advocated.

|Effect of physical training on anxiety and self-esteem of obese adolescents.
|Mohamed Ali Baccouche, Ichraf Arous, Khaled Trabelsi, Liwa Masmoudi, Ali Elloumi
Abstract: The decrease in physical activities plays an important role in the increased prevalence of obesity. Obese adolescents appear to experience greater dissatisfaction with their body image and be more likely to have psychological disorders. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a training program on anxiety and self-esteem among adolescents obese and non obese. Thus, two groups of children (obese and non obese) have followed a training program for 12 weeks. Levels of anxiety and self-esteem were evaluated before and after the training program by a questionnaire of self-esteem and state anxiety inventory. Our results showed that obese subjects are characterized by low self-esteem (p <0.001) and high anxiety (p <0.001) compared to non-obese subjects. However, after the training program, there is no significant difference between obese and non-obese for the self-esteem (p = 0.103), but for the anxiety, the obese are more anxious than the non-obese (p <0.001). Our results also showed an improvement in self-esteem (+17.9% ; p <0.001) and decreased anxiety (-16.3% ; p <0.001) after the training program in obese subjects. Our study shows the importance of physical activities for obese adolescents in their identity development and emotional control. In addition, adequate nutrition associated with a moderate intensity sport is necessary for weight control.

Abstract: Attribution includes the process that is used by people to link the underlying causes of the events. Social psychologists in analyzing attribution case, as with many other issues, do not have full consensus and they analysis and study it from different perspectives. That is different theories have been imposed in this case. In this article we will cover some of the most convincing attribution theory.

|Dr. Paramita Dey
Abstract: Sexual harassment at workplace is neither new nor rare, yet it is not reported or even talked about enough. Most working women face sexual harassment at workplace in some form or the other. It is there, yet never acknowledged. Actually, it is an extension of the patriarchal violence, at home and in society, at large, but it is not enough. At the basic level, it is a show of male dominance and the inherent inability to deal with women at par with men. Patriarchy reigns control by ensuring that women do not have equal access to available resources in the society and that they have restricted mobility and reduced efficiency, leading low or poor employability. Since the whole edifice of the economy rests on the society, economic empowerment can never be a meaningful reality without rooting out existing gender inequalities situated in the social structure. Sexual harassment is one of the chief ways that men resist gender equality in the workplace. It creates a hostile environment for working women. In India, the legal directive for addressing issues of sexual harassment came from Supreme Court verdict in the Vishakha vs. State of Rajasthan in 1997. The Supreme Court stated that every instance of sexual harassment is a violation of Fundamental Right. Guwahati, the capital of Assam and the main entry-point to the whole North-East India plays a dominant role in the economy of the whole region. The job opportunities, both in the public and private spheres are ever-expanding. So, in order to understand and analyze the extent of sexual harassment at workplace and the effect of Vishakha Guidelines in Assam, in general and Guwahati, in particular the present study has been conducted.

|Reader Response Theory in the Phenomenology of Reading with the text and the reader as its focal point
|Mohammed Abdullah Mohammed Al-Haba
Abstract: A literary work used to be looked at and received as the product of the writer's own horizon, imagination and aesthetic creativity. This conception of the text focused on and tried to understand a single meaning allocated to the text and that fixed and final meaning is nothing but the intention of the author of the text. It was claimed that responses to the same text would necessarily have to be the same albeit at different times and by different readers. The text was doomed to a pregiven and single meaning and unchangeable reality prior to it. Yet, twentieth century criticism has drawn a considerable attention and critical importance to the possibility that responses and interpretations to a given text evolve and develop from time to time and from reader to another reader. The approach of this theory which is called reader response theory in the phenomenology of reading revolves around the text and the reader and argues that the relationship between them is ontological in its nature. Ontological in the sense that a written text must have a reader and that the reader lends genuine value to the text. This paper is going to explore how, according to this theory, a text is open to meanings and is capable of producing different responses.

|Existentialism and Classroom Practice
|G.M. Malik and Rukhsana Akhter
Abstract: This paper examines existing education literature that discusses existentialism, and existential pedagogy, promotes individual freedom, identity, and search for meaning. Through effective pedagogical strategies and by acknowledging the role of teacher, existential pedagogy will engage learners and will illuminate for them the existential motivations for learning. Existentialists say that every technique, every tool, every gesture is a way that opens upon the world. They say that teacher should present the subject matter with all the possible views on it. The findings of this study offer individual learners opportunity to live more purposefully in complex and rapidly changing conditions. This attribute obviously has implications for learners even beyond schools. It also has applicability for adults who especially are experiencing personal existential crisis in their lives.The educational implications drawn from existentialism enables an individual's to understand how their lives can be made more meaningful.For conducting this study, philosophical and historical methods were employed. The primary and secondary sources related to educational philosophy of existentialism were evaluated after detailed analysis. The general philosophical tools used for the study are induction, deduction, dialectical analysis and synthesis.

Customer Reviews
Perfect length
Probably had these for over a year now and still works just fine, sounds great!
Great sounds
I can listen to podcasts in my car.
This product is made very well, I am very satisfied with this product.
Great cable, been using for a few months now with no issues. Seems durable.
I bought this cable to connect to my BOSE SLIII speaker and it worked for roughly a month than I started getting static feedback instead of actual sound. It was minimal for a bit but now after 73 days it completely stopped working. The build quality looks good but that is it looks. Sound quality was only good for the first month than it took a drastic downward spiral.
Saw someone complaining about it falling out. I can see how that would be frustrating but I don't seem to have issues with my equipment falling out. Maybe they should try to go deeper. The cable connects my laptop to my aux speaker, just needs to move electons and it seems to accomplish that. I hear it click in both ends and seems to hold just fine. It is a docked laptop and a speaker so neither is moving around much
Good product it works as described.
The cable was a a Very good purchase for the price*

Our pick of the best exhibitions to see right now in London's galleries and museums. Check ahead before visiting, as many venues still require advance booking or make alterations due to changes in the Covid situation, or may have different opening times over the holiday season.
Exhibitions in Central London
BEAUTY IS FLEETING: As you enter the gallery, candy-coloured walls may give the impression it's all smiles inside, but it belies the exhibition of disturbing paintings where cutesy characters sit within nightmarish hellscapes where gravity is inverted. It all centres on a film downstairs where a young and pretty character called Mi goes through a horrible ordeal involving a villainous mirror, an experience that touches on both climate change and consumerism's obsessions with looking perfect. It's disturbing and brilliant work from Rachel Maclean, an inventive artist who never disappoints.
Rachel Maclean: That's not Mi! at Josh Lilley. Until 22 January 2022, free. ★★★★★ (Tuesday-Saturday)
A FIGHTING LIFE: Abandoned at birth and raised at the Foundling Hospital before being press-ganged into the Navy and fighting at the Battle of Trafalgar. Recreated here in a dynamic painting, the story of George King is a fascinating one. Using his personal records on his encounters with slavery and the brutality of war, this small exhibition doesn't contain too many objects, but it uses them to tell a captivating story.
Fighting Talk: One Boy's Journey from Abandonment to Trafalgar at The Foundling Museum. Until 27 February 2022, £10.50 (includes admission to the museum). ★★★☆☆ (Tuesday-Sunday)
ARE YOU HAVING A LAUGH?: Which cartoon is funnier, A or B? That's the question this small display is asking to help formulate some scientific research on what makes a cartoon funny — and we can fill in forms to be part of that research. Do you prefer political commentary or a bit of a slapstick? Some are easy choices, others a lot trickier. And of course, I can't wait to find out whether my taste is in the minority or majority. It's this kind of innovative exhibition that small museums should be putting on and the fact that it generates a lot of laughs is a much welcomed bonus.
The Laughter Lab at The Cartoon Museum. Until 5 June 2022, £8.50 (includes admission to the museum). ★★★★★ (Tuesday-Sunday)
DISSOLVING BODIES: Beautifully executed paintings of bodies and faces start to break apart as if dissolving into the air, or on to the surface of the painting itself. There's a beautiful and surreal dream-like quality to Henrik Aa Uldalen's figurative paintings. Another series has a darker element, where he has taken a blowtorch to some other works so the canvas has literally melted away. I've been a fan of his work for some years and this is his strongest showing yet.
Henrik Aa Uldalen: Love in Exile at JD Malat Gallery. Until 8 January 2022, free. ★★★★☆ (Monday-Saturday)
AN ARTIST'S JOURNEY: German renaissance man Albrecht Dürer travelled all around Western Europe learning from other artists. This show follows his journey, with his works and works by those other artists hung side by side. The downside to this is that many of the other painters works feel superior to his, so it's anti-climactic at times. The upside is that Dürer was a fantastic printmaker, and any chance to see his prints should always be cherished. It's these smaller works that all visitors should focus on, whether they be of a melancholic winged figure or a knight being accompanied by Death.
Dürer's Journeys: Travels of a Renaissance Artist at The National Gallery. Until 27 February 2022, £20. ★★★☆☆ (Open daily)
REWRITING HISTORY: A man looks over a mountain, lording it over all he surveys. It's a familiar scene from a painting by Caspar David Friedrich from the Romantic era of painting. But wait — this time it's a Black man, and his clothing is definitely not from the 19th century. It's part of an exhibition of paintings by Kehinde Wiley, taking Romantic paintings and giving them a contemporary Black twist, so persons afloat on a raft are in fact refugees fleeing their homelands. While it's only a few paintings, they definitely have an impact, both in scale and by covering a topic that's extremely relevant today as we look back and challenge how the history of Europe has been written. It's accompanied by a stirring film on six screens that complements the paintings.
Kehinde Wiley: The Prelude at The National Gallery. Until 18 April 2022, free. ★★★★☆ (Open daily)
CHILD'S PLAY: Children play on a precarious ledge and don masks across neighbourhoods in New York, in the candid street photography of Helen Levitt. This selection mixes everyday street scenes with the surreal as people adopt contorted poses on the pavement. While not every photo hits the mark, it's a show dedicated to a photographer I wasn't familiar with, and her portfolio definitely merits a major exhibition.
Helen Levitt: In The Street at The Photographers' Gallery. Until 13 February 2022, £5. ★★★☆☆ (Tuesday-Sunday)
LEAPING THROUGH LANDSCAPES: A horse leaps out over the water into an empty landscape — or is it leaping between the trees? Compare a finished painting by the master of landscapes John Constable to his original sketch — and I use that term loosely, as the 'sketch' is a masterpiece in itself. It's a fascinating look at how an artist formulates a painting, with several sketches on display, even if it's a rather academic exhibition that's likely to have niche appeal to landscape painting and Constable enthusiasts.
Late Constable at Royal Academy of Arts. Until 13 February 2022, £19. ★★★☆☆ (Tuesday-Sunday)
Exhibitions in West London
SATIRE APLENTY: William Hogarth's satirical scenes of London life are filled with humour and moral lessons. But was he alone, or did he have European contemporaries? This show highlights how talented painters were creating work in other great cities like Paris, Venice and Amsterdam. And while they had none of the biting wit, it simply highlights what a great painter Hogarth was. Sure, the theme is rather loose and some of the contemporary interpretations of his work are off the mark, but if you want lots of Hogarth — and who doesn't? — then this is the place to be.
Hogarth and Europe at Tate Britain. Until 20 March 2022, £18. ★★★★☆ (Open daily)
INDUSTRIAL BEAUTY: Think industrial processes, and we usually think of dirty coal plants and messy factory floors. Not so when portrayed through the lens of photographer Maurice Bloomfield. Shots including a simulated lightning strike on ceramic insulators, rows of nylon bobbins casting shadows on the floor, sparking machinery in a wire manufacturing plant, and a flare from North sea oil rig all look remarkable. These snaps were taken in the '50s and '60s, and there's a real sense that although they're beautiful, they are of their time, as such a rosy view on heavy industry is no longer acceptable given the climate emergency we're facing.
Maurice Bloomfield: Industrial Sublime at V&A. Until 6 November 2022, free. ★★★★☆ (Wednesday-Sunday)
ANCIENT SCIENCE: How did the Ancient Greeks use science to improve and perfect music, sculpture and sailing? Science Museum has created a small display with videos, interactive elements and artefacts with a modern twist to show us how advanced the Ancient Greeks were. While the amount to see here is limited, it is a free display and the statue of Hermes recovered from a shipwreck is a spectacular sight worth the visit alone.
Ancient Greeks: Science and Wisdom at Science Museum. Until 5 June 2022, free. ★★★☆☆ (Wednesday-Sunday)
POWERFUL PHOTOGRAPHY: The annual Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize has moved into a temporary home at Cromwell Place while National Portrait Gallery undergoes a major refurbishment. Thankfully it still delivers in it new home, with moving photographic portraits of First Nations aboriginal women hanging alongside stories recollecting their difficult lives, and a large Black man reclining, imitating the pose we relate to female nudes from classical art, highlighting a body positivity debate that exists among men but is seldom spoken about. These are some of the stunning winners in a fantastic year for this portrait prize.
Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2021 at Cromwell Place. Until 2 January 2022, £8. ★★★★☆ (Wednesday-Sunday). Update: this show had to close early on 23 December.
AMY'S LEGACY: It's sad to think it's been a decade since Amy Winehouse's death, and the Design Museum is marking it with an exhibition about her legacy in music, fashion and her strong links to London — particularly Camden. There's an opportunity to listen to her music in a recording studio set up, see many of her iconic dresses and watch an impressive immersive recreation of a performance of Tears Dry On Their Own. The show can't duck how she was often demonised by the press, but ultimately the focus of the exhibition is to be a moving and fitting celebration of her life, her music and her talent — and in all of that it definitely succeeds.
Amy: Beyond the Stage at Design Museum. Until 10 April 2022, £14.50. ★★★★☆ (Open daily)
Exhibitions in East London
DON'T SHOOT EM UP: Here's a new twist to a shoot 'em up video game, making you hesitant about pulling the trigger. I'm handed a gun and given the task of supporting Black trans persons and only eliminating those who oppose them, but it's purposefully made really tricky to recognise who and what I'm supposed to shoot — keeping my gun down ironically feels like my best shot at survival. It's a clever role reversal and acts as both awareness raising activism and a wider critique of the glorification of gun culture.
Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley: She Keeps Me Damn Alive at Arebyte. Until 18 February 2022, free. ★★★★☆ (Tuesday-Saturday)
Exhibitions in South London
ACROSS THE ARTS: Paintings, theatre sets, poetry and music — this exhibition of artist Lubaina Himid's work shows her full versatility and gives a lot of context to the range of work by the Turner Prize-winning artist. However, it can be hard to engage with, as all the works feel like they're loaded with context but the information is frustratingly lacking, making the work interesting but very difficult to get to grips with.
Lubaina Himid at Tate Modern. Until 3 July 2022, £16. ★★★☆☆ (Open daily)
AN ALIEN WORLD: In these grey grisly months what we need is a bit of colour, and the Lydia Chan exhibition at Now Gallery has it in spades, imagining an alien world with colourful creations. Thankfully there's no sci-fi hostility in sight, just a playful environment that can be made more animated through augmented reality filters applied via your phone. It's joyous, fun, and children will love it.
Lydia Chan: Your Ship has Landed at Now Gallery. Until 6 March 2022, free. ★★★★☆ (Tuesday-Sunday)
Exhibitions outside London
LASERS AT THE READY: Outside the stately home of Houghton Hall, a giant glowing orb cuts through the darkness and laser lights guide us around the pitch black grounds. The place has been transformed by Chris Levine's light artworks, and more surprises wait indoors as a series of lights reveal their trickery when viewed out of the corner of my eye as I spot a portrait of the artist — even now I have no idea how he pulls that off. This is a spectacular exhibition that takes us to the limits of what light and art can achieve combined, making the trip to Norfolk well worth it.
Chris Levine: 528Hz Love Frequency at Houghton Hall, Norfolk. Until 23 December 2021, £18. ★★★★★ (Thursday-Saturday)

Rhode Island Catholic Group Won't Let Pro-Abortion Candidate Use Building Email this article
Printer friendly page
by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor
April 11, 2006
North Providence, RI (LifeNews.com) — A local Knights of Columbus that had arranged to let a pro-abortion candidate use its hall for a campaign event has gone back on the arrangement. The group, which takes a strong pro-life view, says it made a mistake in booking the event because it should never have allowed a candidate who favors abortion to have access.
The Knights said it went back on the arrangement it made with Rhode Island Democratic Senate candidate Sheldon Whitehouse because he favors abortion.
The Catholic group had agreed to rent its facility to Whitehouse's campaign but discovered the problem several weeks after it signed the lease.
According to the Providence Journal newspaper, a Knights spokesman talked to Whitehouse's campaign and said it couldn't use the facility because the Catholic Church has asked its churches and affiliated groups to not give a platform to pro-abrotion candidates and politicians.
Rene Trudel, the Knights of Columbus' Rhode Island state deputy, told the Journal that the organization agreed to pay $2,000 for the campaign to rent another venue for the event because of breaking the lease.
Trudel told the Providence paper that the Knights had accidentally used an older version of a lease agreement instead of a new one that says anyone leasing the facility must not publicly oppose the teachings of the Catholic Church.
That version requires the renter to "not publicly oppose the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church regarding abortion, infanticide, euthanasia…."
Trudel told the Journal "The lease basically states that we are a pro-life group."
The nation's Catholic bishops have document that calls on Catholic colleges and universities as well as local churches and church groups to not to give a platform to elected officials who back abortion.
"Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles," the bishops said. "They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions."
The statement, called "Catholics in Political Life," was adopted by a vote of 183-6.
Whitehouse faces Rhode Island Secretary of State Matt Brown in the Democratic primary. In the Republican primary, incumbent Sen. Lincoln Chafee faces Cranston mayor Steve Laffey.

2. Other US firms (e.g. Dechert) - less than White Shoe Firms but more than Magic/Silver Circle firms (not confirmed)
3. UK Magic or Silver Circle firms (e.g. CC, Links, HSF, A&O, Ashurst, Hogan Lowells - note, L&L side not counted) - these pay around 12-13k per month for 2 PQE (SG scale)
4. BMWL, NRF, Clyde - these pay around 8-10k for 2PQE (not sure about Ascendant though)
5. Big 4 - these pay about 7-8k for 2PQE
6. Firms like WKW, Dentons, TSMP, and other boutiques (e.g. Blackoak or the accounting-linked law firms) pay similar or slightly less than Big 4. These also include some JVs like MPillay and Morgan Lewis).
7. Then you have everyone else. Some of the JVs also fall in this tier like EHE or DMS.
Most of the JVs are scams, the only obviously integrated ones (i.e. where you aren't on local payscale and the place functions as one firm) are BMWL, Clyde, CC (not sure about about the smaller ones though).
TC wise, above the Big 4 only CC & BMWL offer
. Although A&O has a UK-linked TC and Ascendant is now offering
on behalf of NRF - don't know how integrated they are to NRF though. So if you wanna start as a trainee in Singapore and want to go "above" Big 4, you only have very few choices.
Thanks very useful.
As an aside, how do you guys tahan the hours and stress? Im 2PQE and feel like quitting already.

By Staff Reporter
CONTROVERSIAL Norton legislator Temba Mliswa has been accused of launching a smear campaign against Shurugwi South MP Edmond Mkaratigwa in a bid to wrest control of the Zanu PF constituency from the latter.
Sources say the former Zanu PF Mashonaland West chair was working with the constituency's Ward 3 councillor, Tamiswa Njovana, to try and topple Mkaratigwa.
It is still not clear he will stand as an independent candidate after his attempt to rejoin Zanu PF was spurned by the party last year.
The independent lawmaker and Njovana are said to be accusing Mkaratigwa of abusing government's Constituency Development Fund (CDF) awarded to MPs to help develop their areas.
"Mliswa wants this seat after realising that he is no longer wanted in Norton.
"He has been here a few times recently and has been making moves which suggest he is keen to contest here and he is working with Njovana," a source said.
"Njovana has clearly said he is preparing Mliswa's road to 2023."
However, in an interview this week, Mkaratigwa said he did not mind anyone competing for office as this was a democratic right but said that should be done without levelling false accusations against him.
He also took the opportunity to clear his name from the CDF abuse accusations.
"We are in the new dispensation and people should just do away with these cheap politicking gimmicks," said the politician.
"For the record, I have every documentation of what we are saying. To start with, in the constituency, we have a Constituency Development Committee comprising of highly skilled professionals who handle all the funds and I am in no way directly involved."
He said the money in question was deposited into a CBZ trust account following which the committee sat down and agreed to buy cement.
Resultantly, he said, they procured 1200 bags of cement with each ward getting 80.
"In my constituency, the Constituency Development Committee (CDC) identified different projects they wanted to embark on in every ward.
"It was agreed by the committee to access the resources on a first come, first served basis although generally, each ward had its allocation of 80 bags of cement.
"Ward 3 initially wanted the electrification of their clinic and that project was more expensive for our budget hence they had said they could get the finances for their requisite project later.
"When money was released by parliament, the committee as noted, agreed to buy cement and in particular two truckloads of cement were bought for the cement and that made up 1200 bags which were delivered directly from Portland Cement Bulawayo, without middlemen," he said.
He added that the 1200 bags of cement were kept at Pakame Mission High School using the mission's warehouses and the CDC further introduced a control system and they used stock control sheets.
"Fourteen wards collected their share of 80 bags from Pakame Mission within the reasonably expected time and only one ward under Njovana did not collect their portion within the stipulated time. They could have done so because cement was not their main priority but electricity," he said.
The Zanu PF lawmaker said Ward 6 that was busy constructing weir dams had a shortage of cement and the committee made a resolution in a properly constituted meeting, to advance the cement to Ward 6 as Ward 3 was still brainstorming on its proposed project.
"Ward 6 therefore used 160 bags on the basis that the cement would become unusable if it was stored for too long and, we also did not want to over-burden the Mission that had provided the secure storage facilities," he added.
He said some constituencies drilled and installed boreholes while others embarked on reasonably bigger projects like weir dams in line with the Constituency Development Committee's approvals as duly constituted and procedurally directed by the Committee of Parliament.
Said the MP, "Ward 3 later came up with a project to build some school facilities, but it was very late and the Committee agreed they will have their share off-set in the soon coming allocation.
"The financial balance was used for buying mesh-wire for nutritional gardens for the constituency and we had to keep the finances in stock form to lock its purchase value," he added.
Mkaratigwa said there was no way he would abuse CDF when he has done a lot for the constituency using his personal funds.
"I have actually done a lot of work both in the constituency and in the country broadly. I donated Computers at Makonde Primary, Dombotombo Secondary, Gato Secondary and electrified and implemented a number of water and sanitation projects starting from the village and around the constituency. Electrification was done particularly at the business centre, and several other schools also," he added.
Currently, he has commenced a half a million United States dollar electrification project for Mavedzenge Primary School and villages around Mupangayi area in Ward 11.
He has been paying fees for several children in the constituency.

Last year, the GHSA announced a new reclassification, implementing a higher multiplier that placed schools with more out-of-district students in the upper classifications. Along with this reclassification came revised regions featuring both public and private schools. With the 2022 football season on the horizon, let's take a look at each revamped classification's toughest region.
Region 1 is the clear favorite in A-D1. That four-team region contains both Irwin County and Brooks County, who met in the 2020 and 2021 A-Public State Championships. Also included is Pelham, who made the semifinals in 2018 and 2019 and could pose a threat to many teams on their 2022 schedule. The only weak link in this region is Bacon County. They didn't win a single game in 2021. Besides that, this region has the potential to produce two state finalists once again.
In this GHSA reclassification, regions are much larger. Region 6, however, stands out the most, thanks to Schley County, Macon County, Chattahoochee County and Manchester. All four teams cracked the top-10 rankings at least once last season, and both Macon County and Manchester reached the quarterfinals as well. Schley County could be the early favorite for region champion, as they return almost the entirety of last year's team. Greenville is also a member of Region 6, and a resurgent six-win season in 2021 brings an added level of competitiveness.
This decision was difficult, but Region 1 slightly edges out Regions 3 and 5 for toughest 2A region. Region 1 features defending state champion Fitzgerald, along with Jeff Davis and Dodge County. Cook could also be a team to watch out for with Byron Slack as their new head coach. Region 5 provided some intrigue with Callaway, ELCA and Columbia, but McNair, Redan and Towers brought that region's quality down. Region 3 features rivals Pierce County and Appling County, but the remaining teams aren't good enough to match the quality of Region 1.
It's a two-region race, but Region 5 claims the title over Region 1. Region 5's four teams are Cedar Grove, Carver-Atlanta, Sandy Creek and Douglass. Carver-Atlanta and Cedar Grove met in last season's state title, while Sandy Creek returns significant talent that could restore them to pre-COVID glory. Region 1 also made a significant argument with Carver-Columbus, Thomasville, Crisp County and Dougherty. However, Carver-Columbus graduated most of their talent and Thomasville lost key contributors in QB Shannen White and RB Malik Harper on offense.
Region 4 is both the hardest and the most unpredictable among the GHSA reclassification. No team truly stands out as a favorite, but that region is very well-rounded and may be one of the most interesting regions in the state. Teams in Region 4 include Fayette County, LaGrange, Riverdale, Starr's Mill, Trinity Christian, Troup County and Whitewater. Starr's Mill fell from 5A to 4A in the offseason, while Trinity Christian made the massive leap from A-Private to 4A after winning the state championship.
Similar to 4A, 5A's Region 8 is the toughest due to its parity. Once again, there is no outright favorite, but several mid-level programs will have the opportunity to clinch a region title. Clarke Central, Eastside and Flowery Branch have repeatedly knocked on the door of playoff success, while Jefferson's move up from 4A might bring new challenges, especially in this competitive region. Loganville and Winder-Barrow may also play spoiler deep into the region schedule. There's a lot to like from Region 8.
This would have been nearly impossible to answer in January, but offseason moves have made Region 5 the clear favorite. Langston Hughes, Douglas County and Alexander are sure to have attention, but don't sleep on South Paulding and Newnan as a 3-seed in that region. Region 7 also has a compelling argument, but RB Justice Haynes's transfer from Blessed Trinity to Buford and mass graduation from Johns Creek tanks the overall value of that region. It's hard to pass up on a region with the heavy favorite for the 2022 6A title (Langston Hughes).
This GHSA Reclassification holds undoubtedly the toughest regions in the state. Region 8 features Buford, Collins Hill and Mill Creek, all of whom are frontrunners for a state championship. Both the Wolves and Eagles won titles last season, and Mill Creek is in great position to contend with 5-star safety Caleb Downs. Don't forget about Dacula either: the Falcons reached the 6A semifinals last season, too. If there's an annual crown for the "Region of Death," Region 8-7A wins the 2022 edition by a landslide.

A new "outcome-based funding model for Further Education and Training" (FET) was announced this week by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris TD. Minister Harris announced that "FET needs to expand its role and its contribution in meeting the needs of our economy, and more importantly, our society."
This new model for funding in the FET sector has been described as a simplified approach to funding the Education and Training Boards (ETBs), which will allow for more flexible spending and education that is driven by the needs of and feedback from learners.
We welcome this policy and believe it will lay the foundations for the new integrated tertiary education system. While we have certain concerns, we welcome the targeted approach of this funding model to specific target groups.
This new model has been described as a "five pot system." One pot will make sure resources go into key areas like quality assurance, enterprise engagement, consistent learner support, agile programme development, and data analysis. The other four pots will drive provision, including:
The new funding model has two categories. The first includes community education, refugee-specific provision, literacy and other programmes. This is categorised broadly as "Funding for FET Pathways." Due to the diversity of learners and their complex needs, a "block-grant system" is recommended in the report for this group "to provide funding for FET Pathways", which is a key difference with this new funding model.
The second category is called "Funding for FET Provision for Employment and HE Transition." The new report on this new funding model, developed by an independent panel, highlights the need to focus on the wider societal benefits of learning and non-formal education, such as gaining a sense of community, building self-confidence, and mental health among others. It also suggests the need for longitudinal studies, which will be used to recognise the diversity of outcomes for learners and their pathways in education. These studies may seek to capture, for example, how a learner might engage in non-formal education and benefit from wraparound support services, and subsequently progress to full-time and higher-level programmes.
In previous consultations on this, AONTAS recommended providing a multi-annual funding model. This is now recognised in the new policy and we welcome this change. It recognises the diversity of local and regional needs. Each ETB has a lot of local knowledge and expertise in relation to the gaps and areas that should be prioritised. Long-term planning is also vital and we hope that this translates to longer-term funding for locally based community education providers.
We also welcome the focus on strategic planning that will allow ETBs to have more flexibility. We believe this will provide greater opportunities for ETBs and community education providers to work and plan collaboratively.
Community education groups offer accredited provision and also enable learners to engage in ETB-accredited provision, as well as providing a range of other learning and social outcomes, such as building collective learning and creating heathier communities, which can result in more social engagement and positive intergenerational relationships. It is important to recognise and capture this as part of the new focus of the wider benefits of learning. AONTAS is happy to work with SOLAS on the development of systems designed to capture a range of outcomes from FET and community education.
AONTAS is currently seeking feedback with members about the ETB Learner Registration (PLSS) process, to ensure that learners who face the most barriers will not continue to be left behind under this new funding model.
We hope that our findings will influence SOLAS's approach, as the new model still states that "funding will be allocated based on accurate PLSS data input and analysis."
We will share the findings from our research into this as part of a policy paper, with the view to informing a new approach under this model.
We are also cautious about the report's suggestion that "in line with the simplification of access and pathways set out in Transforming Learning, the number of different programmes should reduce, with a focus on learning and outcomes, and wraparound learner support then on hand to cater for the different needs of different target groups."
Maintaining a variety of programmes acknowledges the diversity of learners' needs and this is a core strength of adult and community education.
We are wary of the possibility that the new model could encourage competition between providers, rather than building solidarity and a collective approach. We encourage all stakeholders to work together, and put the learner at the heart of all future policy implementation.
AONTAS recommends including a diversity of providers, including FET and community education, in the development and piloting of a new qualitative tool for capturing the wider benefits of learning. This may provide a deeper understanding of diverse learning experiences, including those in non-formal education.
We hope this new approach will improve the grant system for ETBs and their partner providers and foster greater social inclusion in adult learning.

He spent a great deal of time and energy trying to revive paganism, only to see his hopes dashed on the rocks of reality. He was an ascetic personality, subsisting on little food and many books; and it is said that he preferred the salons of the philosophers to the intrigues of the palace.

After nearly a year of waiting, when the big day actually does arrive, we didn't get to see Runrig afterall. Last week was a bad one for our family, with everyone going down, one after another, with a stomach virus that ensured plenty of vomitting. I had thought (hoped?) I had dodged it all, but come Saturday evening, everything I had in the last 24hours presented itself!
However, before that big discussion on the white porcelain, we had decided not to go up. The reason was quite simple, it had rained non-stopped the whole day, with the weather forecast showing that it was going to rain for the rest of the night. Our drive back from Glasgow to Helensburgh, we were met with a huge amount of flooding on the road and felt comfortable that our age, standing in the middle of a field, getting soaked to watch a band, was something best left to star struck teenagers.
I had also this fear that the parking was going to be a nightmare. After all, it was going to be a field. If you have ever come out of a concert from the SECC at Glasgow with its modern car park and quick access to the motorway, you know you can still be in there for an hour. So you can imagine what its going to be like coming out of a single gate field down a single carriage way road.
I did find a post from someone that did manage to go and they confirmed that it did indeed rain continually and, although the concert finished at 11pm, people were still getting out of the carpark at 0115am! Side stepped a nightmare there.
I am sure the music would have been good, but looking back on it, I wouldn't have made it anyway, and only had to make the long journey home, trying not to vomit out the side of the car.

With their playoff hopes hanging in the balance, the PLDT Power Hitters thrashed the Philippine Coast Guard, 25-4, 25-22, 25-21, to clinch the last quarterfinals berth in Group C of the 2019 Spikers' Turf Open Conference at the Paco Arena, Tuesday.
"Actually, hindi ito yung [laro nila] eh, survival lang. Kasi kung natalo kami dito out kami eh, tapos before the game… Yung huddle namin, ang sabi ko lang 'let's take the game one point at a time, one set at a time' hanggang sa umabot kami sa goal talaga namin," said PLDT head coach Odjie Mamon.
Pao Pablico paced the Power Hitters with 11 points on nine attacks, an ace, and a block. Meanwhile, Mark Alfafara tallied five kill blocks for eight markers, to go along with six excellent receptions and four digs.
PLDT skipper John Vic De Guzman – who left the game in the third set after landing badly on his left ankle following a block attempt – finished the match with five markers.
The Power Hitters will have a daunting task in the quarterfinals, as they square off against reigning Open Conference champions Go for Gold-Air Force.
Meanwhile, Esmail Kasim scored 11 points on nine hits, an ace, and a block for Coast Guard, who dropped their card to 1-3.
Also collecting their victories were the Sta. Elena-NU Ball Hammers and the Volleyball Never Stops Volleyball Club Griffins.
Edward Camposano and Nico Almendras conspired in Sta. Elena's five-set escape act against Philippine Navy, 25-23, 14-25, 20-25, 25-21, 15-12, to take the top spot in Group D.
Camposano unloaded 20 hits for 22 points. Almendras also tallied 22 markers built on 16 attacks, four blocks, and two aces to complete the Ball Hammers' 5-0 sweep in the eliminations.
With the victory, Sta. Elena will be armed with a twice-to-beat against IEM in the quarterfinals.
"Nawalan kami ng pasa, nawalan kami ng receive, so set plays namin nawala. Sunud-sunod pati errors, so medyo nawala yung kumpyansa ng mga bata. [Pero] at least, wala kaming talo. Mataas kumpyansa ng mga players namin," said Sta. Elena head coach Dong Dela Cruz.
Facing a 1-2 set deficit, the Ball Hammers were able to stand their ground and squeeze out the victory in the fourth set to send the match to a decider.
From there, the dynamic duo of Camposano and Almendras took over. Facing an early disadvantage in the final frame, the duo poured nine points combined to give Sta. Elena a 13-11 cushion. Banjo Mondero and Idin Daymil then put the finishing touches on the win.
Mondero contributed 14 points and nine digs, while Daymil added eight markers.
