Cisco Kills Hosted E-Mail Service 13 Months After Launch
Cisco Kills Hosted E-Mail Service 13 Months After Launch
Fahmida Y. Rashid
Posted 2011-02-23
Cisco killed its hosted e-mail service just 13 months after launching it because it couldn't get enough customers to sign on despite the wide popularity of cloud application services.
Cisco Systems pulled the plug on Cisco Mail, the hosted e-mail service it launched a mere 13 months ago. While Cisco Mail was "well received," Cisco found that customers were not interested in hosted e-mail as much as they cared about "social software and video," Cisco said in a Feb. 22
blog post
announcing the decision. Cisco declined to provide further details.
"We've since learned that customers have come to view e-mail as a mature and commoditized tool versus a long-term differentiated element of their collaboration strategy," wrote Debra Chrapaty on the blog.
Cisco originally
launched Cisco Mail
in November 2009 because customers said they were interested in "divesting responsibility" for managing e-mail in the same way they switched to using WebEx for Web conferencing, according to Chrapaty. The service was rolled out via controlled release. As more customers got used to the concept of cloud computing and saw the benefits, there was demand for additional cloud services, according to Cisco. Cisco's move demonstrated the challenge of penetrating a mature market and the difficulty in delivery a complex and demanding cloud-based application service, Matthew Cain, vice-president and lead E-mail analyst at Gartner, wrote in a research note. Cisco invested $250 million in the platform, according to Cain. Cisco was completing against several established players in collaboration, including Google Apps and Microsoft's Exchange Online, with far more storage for a lower price. Cisco
offered a standard package
of $5 per month per user which including Outlook support, Web 2.0 webmail client, e-mail, calendar, with only 5GB storage. In contrast, Google Apps for businesses offered more functionality with 25 GB storage for $50 per user per year. Microsoft offered cloud-based Exchange with 25GB of storage for only $5 per user per month. Back when Cisco launched Cisco Mail, Cain noted in a research note that there was "rapid price erosion" in the field, as all the vendors were slashing prices. Cisco needed to build out a "price-competitive suite of collaboration services" that included e-mail, instant messaging, Web conferencing and shared workspace, Cain wrote at the time. Launching Cisco Mail was critical to protecting Cisco's voice-over-IP and WebEx business, he said. Cisco remains "very committed" to collaboration technology, Chrapaty wrote. The collaboration technology market is valued at about $38 billion, according to Cisco. However, without e-mail at its core, Cisco will struggle to win customers over to its collaboration services, Cain wrote. Enterprises would rather select a single supplier for their unified communications and collaboration services, he said. To succeed, Cisco needs to "demonstrate value" beyond what Microsoft already delivers, according to Cain. "It takes away the ability for customers to use Cisco as a single stack collaboration vendor," said Cain. Cain also noted that "the incumbent e-mail supplier," such as Microsoft, is generally in the best position to provide additional collaboration services since enterprises would just bundle in the new products on top of the same infrastructure. Cisco will assist customers with their transition to other e-mail platforms, whether they find a new hosted provider or go back to an on-premise solution. Cisco will "continue to integrate" other platforms to protect legacy systems and customers will continue to receive support for the remainder of their contracts, Chrapaty said. The Cisco Mail team will be reassigned to other collaboration products and services that are "more strategic," Chrapaty said. Cisco's biggest challenge would be to convince customers its other cloud initiatives will be around for the long haul, such as the collaboration platform Cisco Quad, its Web-casting and video-sharing application Show and Share as well as its collaboration tool Cisco Pulse, Cain said. "If Cisco is pulling the plug in such an extensive effort, what reassurances to potential customers have that the same fate does not await other products?" asked Cain.

New banking entrants blighted by back-office legacies
Derek Garriock, our Head of Business Solutions, outlines just some of the challenges faced by new banks.
Big Data and Analytics: taking you on a journey. Interact with our new infographic which summarises many of the key headlines of 2014
This year has already been punctuated by a litany of high-profile frauds, ID thefts and data breaches. Here are the top 10 Fraud trends for 2014:
38 out of every 1000 customer records could flag up as fraudulent! how effective are your online fraud defences?
Derek Garriock, our Head of Business Solutions, outlines just some of the challenges faced by new banks.
To build stronger relationships with your customers and avoid losing them to your competitors, you need to accurately predict and meet their changing financial needs.
The UK credit card market is facing unprecedented challenges, particularly for established high street lenders. Due to the strain on the economy post-crisis, many lenders have refocused their strategies on lower risk and, for some, franchised customers. While safe, these 'low-risk' clients have put increased pressure on the key drivers of profit and have stagnated lenders' share of wallet.
What if you could improve your client relationship through mobile? Mobile is now a key part of our lives and users are expecting you to understand and use this new way of consuming and communicating; your users do not think in channels, so no matter which "channels" you're using, consider it as a mobile channel. To improve your client relationship, you have to shift the way you're communicating to them.
Identifying the opportunities of mobile marketing. Marketing is changing fast and it's easy to be dazzled by new devices and channels. But marketers need to stay focused — on what this means to consumers. Yes, we need to keep up with technologies, but it's insight into how this affects behaviour that makes marketing ever more useful (to customers) and ever more effective (for businesses).
The affordability of mortgage repayments is once again under the spotlight following recent comments by the Governor of the Bank of England that "gradual and limited" increases in interest rates are "coming nearer".
According to research by Shelter there are only 86 houses for sale in London that are within the reach of the average family.

We all know that it is imperative to have a single view of your customer – who they are, what they want, and how they interact with your brand. So what is the best way for a company to get the attention of their best customer?

To enable these tailored applications, independent control of both particle size and separation is necessary. However, it is this precise parameter control that represents a barrier to most large-scale fabrication methods. Bottom-up techniques, such as nanosphere lithography, meet their limits if the final particle size and distance are strongly interrelated due to their common dependence on the diameter of the colloidal spheres used as masks.
Diblock copolymer micelle lithography (BCML), on the other hand, allows the interparticle distance to be manipulated without changing the particle size, and can tailor the particle size for a given particle separation. However, so far particle diameters have been restricted to values below approximately 15 nm. This leaves a size gap for larger particles with diameters between 15 and 100 nm – a range that is especially interesting for optical applications.
Inspirations from photography
Reporting their results in the journal Nanotechnology, researchers from the Technische Universität Dresden and the University of Ulm have demonstrated that requirements for both parameters, size and shape, can be met by their newly developed approach. For this purpose, BCML-fabricated hexagonally ordered arrays of metallic nanoparticles were used as seed particles in a photochemical growth process.
The approach was inspired by century-old findings in the field of photography. The particles were covered with a metal salt solution and irradiated with UV light. The photo-induced and catalytically enhanced reduction of the metal salt takes place only at the surface of the seed particles and thus leads to their growth. As a result, the range between 15 and 100 nm is now accessible. The team used thermal annealing to successfully control the particle shape.
Full details can be found in the journal Nanotechnology.

Are Dogs Capable Of Recognizing our Facial Expression?
If you came across your dog doing something it ''knows'' it shouldn't be doing yet you gave a very happy welcome with a cheery voice, do you think it would still get the ''guilty'' look on its face and with its body language?

Yes, but it's because they've done something they knew they weren't supposed to do. I had this happen after my parrot told my bitch to pee on the floor. I wasn't mad at her at all, but she reacted like I was going to kill her. I also got very good at giving a 'look' to my male when I was fed up with his stunts, and that's all it took to make him quit. They can read facial expressions, but if their own guilt is that high, they may not believe what they're seeing.

I know Schatzi and Ellie will act guilty if they've done something naughty. I often never catch them in the act, and don't even realize they've done something wrong until I see those "guilty faces". One time Schatzi put herself in her timeout spot after shredding a pillow.
As for them recognizing our facial expressions, I recently watched a Nat Geo program where they were studying just that. They found that dogs DO recognize our facial expressions and even our body language. An example in the show was when we point, dogs will often look to where we point. Very interesting stuff.

Dogs read humans alot more than many other animals read us. I also recently watched a documentary when dogs and other primates were compared. Not only can dogs understand pointing, they also track our pupil movement to better understand and communicate with humans. For example, even very young puppies can follow our pupils and choose the cup that we look at. Not even other primates do this as well as dogs!
So if they track our pupil movement and know what it means when we LOOK at something, I imagine they can also track our lip movement and know what it means when we curl our lips into smiles or grimaces. These are obviously alot harder to study than pupil movement since they don't always translate to tangible results.

i think a dog can recognize some of our body language
but i also think a dog recongnizing our body language comes along with our training. as we train we use a certain body language (movement), facial expression, etc. to do certain things and we probably do it over and over so the dog recognizes a certain movement |

Koda acts guilty if she does naughty as well
I agree with Taylor that they DO in fact recognize our facial expressions. I can give Koda a usual, cheery voice but if I look angry she won't come. If I look sad, she curls up to me and gives me love. If I look nervous she looks for what is bugging me. Same goes for any voice/facial expression combo. She watches my face more than she listens to my tone.

Don't forget we also throw out pheromones that dogs pick up....so if we are angry, afraid or sad our scent may tell the dog what we are feeling before our body language or facial expression is even observed.

Dogs recognize MUCH more than facial expressions. When I train with Kyleigh, I don't talk to her AT ALL except for the ONE or TWO words I want her to pair with what I want. I use my body language, facial expressions for her to "get it." (Now when she "gets it" I use TONS of praise, words, etc so she knows she's 'got it')
She knows that when she's on her dog bed in a stay and if she goes to get up, she'll look at me and I'll raise my eyebrows as in REALLY? and she lays back down. If I'm doing something and she barks at me for attention, I turn, look at her sternly, cross my arms and she goes and lays down and wait until I'm done. I didn't teach Kyleigh "watch me", or anything like that, I simply expect her to be watching me all the time ... and she does! This to me, is being a confident leader ... letting my dog know that I will lead her ... and all she has to do is watch, and she'll know what to do!

You can store the documents on a subversion server not on your computer.
What is the difference?
I run a subversion server on my PC and on my MAC. This is very easy to setup. If you like, I can post the instructions needed to setup the svn server.
I trust svn is secure, but I only allow access on the Intranet. I have other external users accessing the repos, but they can only access the repos via a HTTPS tunnel.
This is also easy to setup.
BTW, I have given up on using a dual boot. I use vmware exclusively. I upgraded my ram and run vmware in Windogs. Works great.
For private use, running a subversion server is dirt simple.
BTW, I have not tried a non cygwin version on Windogs, but that should be easy. I am sure you can find the exe files on the Internet.

The SSL certificate industry is a messy business
on: February 14, 2008, 01:55:16 PM
Not everyone is running an online banking business or selling merchandise online. Sometimes, an SSL certificate is used only to remove the warning in a browser.
For example, a reasonable certificate is needed if you run a home server or if you have a small business and simply want to give your friends/customers secure access to your server without having to tell everyone using your site that your self signed certificate is the cause of the nasty browser warning.
Why are certificates from VeriSign so freakin' expensive?
Why do many of the "cheap" SSL providers not tell you they sell a chained certificate?
If you have any experience with "good and reasonable" certificate vendors, please join our forum and give us your thoughts. We have a thread where we would like to have an open discussion regarding "good and reasonable" certificate vendors.

Re: FTP - How do I duplicate / copy remote folder?

The FTP protocol is outdated. Use WebDAV – i.e. request that your hosting provider makes it possible to use WebDAV.
Windows and Mac have built in WebDAV clients. For example using the Windows WebDAV mini redirector, map a drive letter in Windows to your remote server and use it as a standard drive.

Have you considered using WebDAV as a replacement for FTP?
The WebDAV protocol can handle recursive deletion of directories on the server, which makes it much faster than deleting in FTP (*).
WebDAV can easily be encrypted by using HTTPS instead of HTTP.
WebDAV has native client support in some operating systems, thus a client is not needed. Unfortunately, the native Windows versions are not that good. Windows support two clients: Web Folders and WebDAV mini redirector.
A WebDAV server can be mapped as a standard drive on the client, and you can simultaneously upload and download multiple files.
A WebDAV client can connect to a WebDAV server from behind a restrictive corporate firewall since the firewalls are typically setup to allow HTTP traffic, but not FTP traffic.
(*) Deleting recursively on the server must also be supported by the client. As an example, the Total Commander WebDAV plugin is just as slow as the FTP plugin as Total Commander is doing a recursive check before deleting.

Re: content management systems (CMS): are they still so bad?
on: January 27, 2008, 06:39:43 PM
So I understand you are not happy with the CMS engines, but can you please be a bit more specific as to what you think is missing or could be better?
The company I work for is releasing a CMS with the next version of our home and business computer. The idea is that you run your own site on your own computer.
The CMS does not have all the bells and whistles typically found in larger CMS applications, but is instead focusing on being easy to use – i.e. a CMS for the average Joe (non techie).
I like to know more about what features you think is important for a CMS.
The CMS we are working on is a combined site creator and blog engine. WP for example, is more designed to be a blog engine and may not be so good at creating a regular web site.
If you have time, please visit our demo site and the product page. Any feedback is appreciated. BTW, you do not have access to the management part of the CMS.
The server also includes a forum, but the forum is a separate application and not integrated into the CMS i.e. the applications do not share the same database file.

Why use a firewall?
on: January 16, 2008, 11:40:24 AM
You need a firewall if you are using a laptop on insecure networks, but…
You do not need a firewall on a stationary PC if you are using a router since the router is already working as a firewall. By default, all services are blocked by your router. It is for this reason unnecessary having a firewall installed on a stationary PC protected by a router. Using a firewall on a PC behind a router is a waste of money, CPU, and memory.

so because this program runs on the local machine it only forwards these ports for the one IP address? that would make it very useful to install for friends forexample.
Yes, you do not need to install the program. Simply download and run it on any local computer.
The program basically tells the router the following: Hi, I want you to forward port XX to my IP address, i.e. your PC's IP address.
You can run the program on multiple computers on your LAN.
The ports cannot be the same since the router can only forward port XX to one PC, though port YY can be forwarded to another PC.

Cygwin is compiled for Windows, but the tools require the cygwin DLL. I see no problem with that.
The cygwin DLL is needed since Microsoft does not know how to make operating systems.

Amen to that, brother... I have an iBook with 10.2 on it here at home and was helping my dad migrate from OS9 to 10.5 yesterday - I thought I was going to lose my mind trying to find stuff in either version of the Mac OS (ie 9.22 or 10.5). I've been looking at 3rd party File Managers and there are some nice ones out there, it seems. I don't have any links on hand, but I'll investigate and report back... someday
That would be great. I am really missing a good Orthodox file manager for Mac OS X.
At least OS X is UNIX so I use the command line most of the time.

I do not really see the point in this GUI wrapper. What is wrong with the command line version of wget?
My recommendation to all PC users is to download cygwin and start learning how to use command line programs. Learn how to pipe and connect the various UNIX tools as you will find that your productivity will increase many times when you get used to these tools.
Common tasks can be assembled into a batch file or a bash shell script.

I vote for Total Commander. I really like the Total Commander WebDAV plugin as it makes it very easy to access my WebDAV server. I have no clue why people still use FTP servers when they can use WebDAV. Unlike FTP, WebDAV bypasses proxies and firewalls. It is also easy to use WebDAV in secure mode i.e. HTTPS.
Did you know that file managers like Total Commander are called an
Orthodox file manager
The standard file managers are just for newbie's.

Automatic port forwarding for servers, BitTorrent, etc
on: January 15, 2008, 06:23:20 PM
Some network programs require that you configure port forwarding in your router, so that they will work properly. This is confusing to many people, causing many newcomers to give up
For those who know what they are doing, it is time consuming. There is a quicker and easier way.
Fortunately, most routers support a standard called Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), meaning that you can use the BaUPnP tool to update your port forwarding settings, without going through all the menus in your router.
BaUPnP is a free command line utility that automates the process of forwarding your ports.
The tool, by default, configures port mapping for the two ports used by web-servers - that is port 80 (HTTP) and port 443 (HTTPS). You are able to use your own arguments for any service you want.
The following example configures port mapping for FTP (port 21) and Telnet (port 23):
BaUPnP.exe 21 23
It doesn't get much easier than that

The overall rating of a review is different from a simple average of all individual ratings.
The 375 is the latest offering in Beats price smashing range of car stereos. Beat have packed this unit so full of features they struggle to fit them all on the packaging. Priced at less than £90, the 375 is better equipped than some units that are twice the price.
The stereo itself is very smart in its appearance and tends to blend in very well with most dashboards to give an almost OEM look. I had a lot friends commenting on its looks in the time that it was fitted to my car. The point that people overlooked was the amount of features on this unit. It can handle almost any digital media and is able to take the info from most sources. I found the direct iPod control (additional lead required) the most useful but also the most frustrating feature of the stereo. It does exactly what it says on the tin, allows you to use the iPod through the stereo however if you are used to using the more expensive models like myself you may find it a bit slow and clumsy. For me this was a bit of a let down however I have high standards with technology.
As a whole package the Beat 375 stereo is worth every penny. If your after something that is a little understated but can do everything you want then you cant really go wrong with this stereo.

DOI: | 10.1016/j.corsci.2005.12.003 |
Abstract: | The effect of compressive stress on intergranular corrosion (IGC) of AA2024-T3 was studied using a constant load and simultaneous electrochemical measurement. A specially designed electrochemical cell was used to compress a pillar-shaped sample and control the potential at a value that promoted IGC. The extent of IGC was assessed by metallurgical cross-sectional images. The effect of the compressive stress depended on the orientation of the stress relative to the elongated microstructure. Application of a compressive stress halfway to yield in the S or through-thickness direction significantly reduced the growth kinetics of IGC in the longitudinal direction, but did not eliminate it totally. The strain change during exposure also was used to quantify the change in radius of the cylindrical sample as a function of time during IGC growth. The effect of compression on reducing IGC was also assessed by the current density measured during potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarization. The effects of residual compressive stress on IGC were studied using samples treated by low plastic burnishing (LPB), which produces a surface layer with high residual compressive stress. The results depended on the plane of the LPB treatment. A micro-capillary cell was used to measure corrosion behavior at different zones of the section of an LPB-treated sample. The breakdown potential was significantly higher in the zone with residual compressive stress than in the interior of the sample. |

Following the deaths of her adoptive parents, Solange Washington is finally ready to move on. But after she has a run-in with magnificently bare-chested Dane Roarke, a private investigator hired to run a routine background check on her, Solange's pulse goes wild--even as questions about her past surface....
Dane knows there's more to Solange's story than meets the eye, and he suspects it has to do with secrets about her real parents. Torn by his desire for this vibrant lady and his growing suspicions, Dane walks a thin line between trust and truth...because passion has made this case personal.

ALMANAC BETWEEN ISSUES June 2, 2003
In a rare coincidence, two of the most coveted honors in biomedical research have been received by Penn researchers this year. It is believed to be the first time in the 26-year history of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Unrestricted Biomedical Research Grants Program for two winners in one year to be from the same institution. The two Penn School of Medicine researchers have each been awarded $500,000in no-strings attached grants from the Bristol-Myers Squibb Unrestricted Biomedical Research Program to support their work in the fields of metabolic and neuroscience research. At a ceremony on Friday, Dr. Mitchell A. Lazar, and Dr. Virginia M.-Y. Lee, each received a check for $500,000.
Dr. Lee, The John H. Ware 3rd Professor in Alzheimer's Research and Director of the Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research, is a world leader in the field of Alzheimer's disease and dementias. Dr. Frank D. Yocca, executive director, Neuroscience Clinical Design and Evaluation, Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Princeton, presented a check to Dr. Lee.
"Dr. Lee is clearly a world leader in the field of Alzheimer's disease and dementias," said Dr. Yocca. "Her discoveries in the biochemistry and pathophysiology of these diseases have contributed new understandings of how these diseases develop and progress. Dr. Lee adds an exciting new dimension to the work of scientists currently participating in our unrestricted neuroscience research grants program."
The Bristol-Myers Squibb Unrestricted Biomedical Research Grants Program offers the world's premier research institutions the opportunity to pursue new clinical and laboratory findings, support promising young scientists, or acquire new laboratory technology-with no strings attached.
Initiated in 1977, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation has awarded unrestricted research grants to support research in the fields of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, metabolic diseases, neuroscience and nutrition. Through the Bristol-Myers Squibb Unrestricted Biomedical Research Grants Program, the Foundation has committed over $100 million in support of 240 grants to 150 institutions in 22 countries worldwide.

Every now and again, we see a concept bike that incorporates a hubless wheel, typically a bicycle, which is invariably met with backlash such as: "the hubless wheel is a hallmark of naïvety." Yet idealistic designers continue to pursue the void—hell, we've even seen a prototype of a bicycle with a hubless wheel—and there's no denying that it's a striking form factor. It seems that the judges of the Red Dot Award concur, noting that the hubless wheel "captivates due to its exceptional ergonomics."
Of course, they're not referring to a vehicle but a rather more mundane (or, conversely, practical) object: the Rösle Pizza Wheel.Thanks to the innovative, patent construction with a rounded, free-running blade, the pizza wheel glides quickly through the fresh pizza, without causing the topping[s] to displace. The stable, stainless steel blade is sharpened on both sides and assures exact and effortless work. The pizza wheel can be easily dismantled for cleaning.
The Pizza Wheel turned up in our forums (in a thread about "Good design you love to have," no less) where member mo-i notes that a pair of Americans—Jessica Moreland & Chris Hawker of Trident Design—came up with the design for the German kitchenware company. Although the hubless blade goes by a different moniker on the Columbus, OH-based consultancy's website, it didn't require much digging to learn more about the Pitzo: Moreland and Hawker are duly proud of the recognition they've received, and the backstory is available on the microsite:The Pitzo Pizza Cutter was conceived in 2009 by Jessica Moreland, an industrial designer working at Trident Design, LLC, a product design and invention development lab... While on a scouting trip to Bed, Bath and Beyond with Chris Hawker, president of Trident, it was noted that the pizza cutter was a product that could use some fresh eyes.
A few days later, Jessica showed up at work excited, anxious to show off something she'd thought of. Out of her bag came a drawing that was the genesis of the Pitzo design: a hubless blade pizza cutter. She explained the benefits it would provide: improved downward force due to the lack of a stick handle, a better grip, and a way cool look. Countless concept cars and bikes feature hubless (spokeless, really) wheel designs, but in these applications they are really just eye-catching gimmicks, and totally impractical for production. Therefore, they never make it to market. Here was an opportunity to bring this cool aesthetic into reality, and with plenty of functional justification. Hawker was immediately sold and agreed to put the resources of the company behind her concept and help her license it.
An outline of the design process follows; while forum moderator (and sometime Core contributor) Ray Jepson wonders "how the blade moves smoothly without seeming to have bearings," Trident notes that "the greatest challenge was achieving a balance among the height of the blade, the diameter of the blade, the size of the handle opening, and the overall dimension."
Once they perfected the design itself, they proceeded to create the branding and identity, including the video above, as well as filing a utility patent for the innovative design. I was interested to learn that Trident opted to license it to two manufacturers:At the beginning of the licensing process, [we] asked: what would be the best possible outcome, even if it was unlikely? The answer [was to pursue] two licenses: one that was high-end, and likely European, and one that focused on a lower-cost model for the broader (and much bigger) market. This was an unusual arrangement and it is difficult to get companies to agree to share, but the decision was made to take the risk of alienating a potential partner by pushing for it and focusing on enlightened companies.
It took some clever negotiating, but amazingly, the ideal partner that was approached for each role agreed! The key was explaining to each that the other was not their competitor (due to pricing differences) and that innovation loves company: i.e. the attention one gets would help the other. The high-end partner, Rösle is a 100+ year old company based in Bavaria, Germany that is known for making the highest-end stainless steel kitchen gadgets in the world. The mass-appeal partner, Lifetime Brands, is the largest manufacturer of kitchen gadgets in the world, selling under 32 brands including Farberware, Pedrini, Kitchenaid and many more. The Pitzo was going to be made real by the biggest AND the best in the world.
All else equal, the fact that the Pizza Wheel resembles a futuristic weapon might be considered as the hallmark of its cool factor, giving it a huge competitive advantage over, say, the infamous Pizza Scissors.

dc.description.abstract | The article argues that, historically, universities have served a select few individuals as part of modernist not transformative agenda. This highly selective process guarantees students good life. The article argues that university education helps to redress colonial inequities through creating opportunities for graduate employability. However, university education has also served conflicting roles of adhering to the global capitalist imperative and attempting to inculcate social inclusion in developing nations. The roles of university-based adult education is analyzed in terms of its curricula, teaching, and research to demonstrate that adult education serves officialdom and has strayed from the initial adult education focus of social transformation. Drawing some illustrations from the Department of Adult Education at the University of Botswana, the article argues that programs serve state interests through engaging in a neoliberal modernist curriculum that excludes the learners. Finally, it is suggested that adult education should rethink the curricula, strengthen civil society, and mobilize community for social transformation. | en_US |
