The impact of state legislation on the organisation of trade unions: the case of the Botswana Federation of Trade Unions (BFTU) in Botswana
Title: | The impact of state legislation on the organisation of trade unions: the case of the Botswana Federation of Trade Unions (BFTU) in Botswana |
Author: | Mogalakwe, M.; Mufune, P.; Molutsi, P. |
Abstract: | Labour legislation is the unique device governments use to lay down standards and conventions in the workplace and to control industrial relations. Using focused interviews with unionists, government officials, employers and other relevant parties, this field study investigated the way in which labour legislation in Botswana affects the organisation of the country's federation of unions. The findings indicate that the BFTU's organisation is affected by the Trade Union and Employers Organisation Act.In particular, the restrictions in this Act separate policy and administration in the BFTU and this has had negative implications for the union's effectiveness. The fact that its policymaking body is part-time negatively affects coordination, communication and cooperation processes in the BFTU. According to the Act, public sector workers are not technically employees and therefore cannot belong to unions. This gives the impression that the state is not particularly convinced about the benefits of unionisation. This may create a difficult environment in which the BFTU and other unions must operate. |

Padma Lakshmi Boxed the Baby Weight Away
Posted on May 24th 2010 2:00PM by Emily ShetlerLarry Busacca/WireImage.com
That's right: The "Top Chef" hostess is an avid and longtime boxer. At the Endometriosis Foundation of America's Blossom Ball at the New York Public Library, Lakshmi told That's Fit that boxing has been a major part of her post-pregnancy fitness regime.
"I've been boxing for about seven years now," Lakshmi said. "I love it."
It turns out boxing can be an ideal workout for women looking to get fit and shed postpartum pounds, said Doug Werner, boxing coach and author of "Fighting Fit: Boxing Workouts, Techniques, and Sparring."
"The power punches work all parts of body," Werner said. "If you're training correctly, which means several three-minute rounds with no more than a minute rest in between, you get an aerobic workout second to none."
To lose pregnancy weight, many women turn to yoga for its calming and meditative aspects. Lakshmi has found that boxing has some of the very same focusing qualities. "It's a very meditative practice," she said. "You have to really concentrate. When someone is swinging at you, you don't really think about anything else."
Women's boxing has come a long way since its primitive beginnings in 18th century London, when opponents were allowed to kick, claw and throw each other across the ring. It wasn't until the 1970s that many states in the U.S. lifted bans against women's boxing. But now? For the first time, women's boxing will be an official sport at the 2012 Olympics in London.
And for the 70 million women like Lakshmi who are affected by endometriosis, a condition where uterine-like cells spread to other parts of the body, aerobic exercise like boxing is important for circulation and tissue oxygenation, which are key to minimizing symptoms of the disease. Exercise also can reduce estrogen levels, which may help slow the growth of endometriosis, and it also sparks the production of endorphins, our naturally-produced pain-blockers. "Vigorous exercise really helps to alleviate pain and discomfort," said Dr. Tamer Seckin, co-founder with Lakshmi of the Endometriosis Foundation of America.
Lakshmi's results are even more impressive considering that she has been filming "Top Chef: Washington, D.C." for six of the last 12 weeks. According to a New York Times story, she usually gains 10 to 15 pounds during the taping of the Bravo show. We'll be able to see for ourselves when it debuts June 16.

RealEstateAuctions.com strengthens its team in the Atlanta market with the addition of Vickie Jackson in the role of Project Manager.
Vickie's responsibilities as Project Manager include, among other duties, the prospecting and listing of virtually all types of real estate for auction, as well as marketing, preparing CMAs (Comparative Market Analysis), preparing Bidder Information Packets (BIPs), servicing inquiries from potential bidders and conducting open house inspections.
Vickie works under Stacey Arthur, Team Leader in Atlanta and State Broker for the company. To say that Vickie is enthusiastic about her new position would be a considerable understatement.
"I'm so excited," she says with an obvious eagerness that comes through loud and clear in a long-distance telephone chat. "I am ready! I told my team leader 'When can we start'?"
Vickie has been a Georgia-licensed real estate sales professional since 2009 and is a real estate investor. "I'm very familiar with the bidding process," she says. "I bought a total of six condos that way."
But, Vickie is quick to point out, the bidding process that many consumers take part in around Atlanta is not quite the same as a real estate auction.
"People really do love to bid, but with HomePath and HUD-owned properties you can't see all the bids and that's what people don't like," she says. "Real estate auctions are more transparent. Whether in person or online, everyone sees exactly what is taking place in terms of bidding during a real estate auction."
Vickie Jackson likes auctions not only because of the openness and excitement they offer, but because it is simply a much faster and direct connection between buyers and sellers, as opposed the more traditional model of real estate sales that many people are used to.
"Those days of 'I'll pick you up at 3 o'clock and we'll ride around and look at houses' are gone," she says.
Vickie had a long career in financing and accounting before entering real estate. After graduating with a Bachelor's of Business Administration from Fort Valley State University in Fort Valley, Georgia, she held positions of increasing responsibility within her field, eventually becoming the accounting manager for an Atlanta firm and then bookkeeper in all areas of finance in the Dekalb County School System, Decatur, Georgia. She considers herself to be highly detail-oriented yet prides herself on being able to key in on the big picture.
As Project Manager for RealEstateAuctions.com, Vickie will focus her efforts on the northeast area of Atlanta, including Gwinett, Rockdale, Walton and Newton counties. She's happy to talk to people interested in learning about potentially auctioning their properties, or to help buyers purchase non-auction properties. Contact Vickie Jackson at 404-354-0428 or email@example.com.

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
This product met my expectations. It is very easy to put up and lightweight. It is very colorful and it looks great on my daughter's bed. It even brought a touch light which I did not expect. Overall I think it is really cute and my daughter really enjoys playing inside the tent.

Ordered this for my daughter for Christmas. Didn't even get to use it for the night. One of the poles bent in half while she was climbing in the tent and now it wont stay up. What a waste of money and now I have a disappointed little girl! Also the night light that comes with it gets way too hot too fast.
(3 of 3 customers found this review helpful)
I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She LOVED it! We have had it on her bed not even one day and its broke, non fixable. Going to have to rig something up for it to work now. Its flimsy and doesn't fit a thicker mattress well at all. My daughter is so upset one of her favrotire Christmas gifts she can't even use tonight. Also the night light that comes with it scares me because it gets so hot. I am scared my daughter would have fallen asleep with it on.

William Patrick Weems, 35, was booked into the Clallam County jail Friday for investigation of one count each of residential burglary and attempted first-degree theft, said Detective Sgt. John Keegan with the Clallam County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's deputies arrested Weems at about 5 p.m. Friday after pulling over a truck in which he was a passenger on U.S. Highway 101 near Bagley Creek Road, Keegan said.
A witness who called 9-1-1 had last seen Weems getting into the truck near Lewis Road, about 2½ miles to the east, Keegan said.
Deputies began the search after receiving a call at 12:41 p.m. from a friend of the owner of a vacant house on Highway 101 between Dryke and Barr roads, Keegan said.
Garage door open
The friend told police the friend had noticed the house's garage door was half open and, upon walking into the home, had found a strange man putting an estimated $8,000 worth of tools and electronics into a suitcase, Keegan said.
The friend yelled at the intruder, who pushed past him and ran to a bicycle he had left outside the house, Keegan said.
The man, who left the belongings and the suitcase when he ran, rode west on Highway 101.
Sheriff's deputies enlisted the help of State Patrol troopers, U.S. Border Patrol agents and a helicopter from the Port Angeles Coast Guard base that was flying over the area.
The helicopter wasn't called out specifically for the search, Clallam County Undersheriff Ron Peregrin said. The Coast Guard had one in the air and diverted it to assist deputies.
"They gave us whatever time they could afford with their fuel," Peregrin said.
Deputies adjusted the search area, which went as far west at times as Lewis Road and as far east as Matson Road, based on witness reports of a man matching the description of a man running through yards, Keegan said.
Emergency alert system
Keegan said the Sheriff's Office was just about to release an alert to residents in the area via EverBridge, the county's emergency alert system, when a resident called 9-1-1 to report a man matching the burglar's description getting into a truck that appeared to have arrived to pick the man up near Lewis Road and Highway 101.
Keegan said the driver of the vehicle was not arrested.
"We don't believe [the driver] had any knowledge he was rendering any criminal assistance," Keegan said.
No assaults or injuries were reported in connection with the search, Keegan said, and Weems was arrested without incident.
Weems later told investigators he had been at the property that had been broken into but denied being inside.

Yep, closed in July according to the newspaper. I don't live nearby but made the 30 minute drive twice since I found out about the place. I am sorry I can't go back! It was so good.

Opening up with a new style....but was a really yummy food and super great desserts. Call ahead, I hope I am wrong..
We had a small party last weekend. The food and service were impeccable. Best dishes to try: mushroom sampler & clams. The chef really impressed me with how different menu was and everything was done just right. Cocktails and wine were ok. Stuff service was great: decantering the wine, re-rolling the napkins during course change. Outdoor patio also added the... More
We have been there 4 times now and each one was excellent service and food. It is pricey, but the food was so good we truly thought worth it and we are pretty careful with our money as a family on one income. We have had multiple menu items, but the mushroom sampler and the macaroni and cheese are our... More
Morels is the kind of restaurant that offers customers more than just great food. The service and ambiance are also really good. It's great for a special occasion, as the price is a little high... otherwise I would go there more often!!
The service was slow, my food came cold my wife had to send hers back. Ravioli was horrible and bland no taste at all not very kid friendly. Had to keep asking for refill on drink, ordered a steak and had to ask for steak sauce and could not get steak cooked the way I wanted it. Too costly and... More
The mushroom soup was worth returning for. Our main courses and appetizers were OK to very good. The decor is very nice, service excellent. Definitely worth another try.
Morel's is a restaurant that not only has great food, but a great atmosphere as well. The food is excellent, and the menu has a ton of great options. Morel's is a great place to grab a bite to eat, and I highly recommend it.
One of my favorites in the area, good mix of new cuisine with a flare for elegance. Of course try the mushroom bisque!!
We went to Morel's with friends for dinner. My wife and I got the Prix Fixe dinners, our friends ordered off the menu. For the price of the Prix Fixe ($64 each) I would expect better. Appetizer and soup were enjoyable but the salad was a bit much with pulled chicken, mushrooms, lettuce, fruit, nuts and dressing. My entree arrived... More

NP Warns Of Lunch Scam
The North Penn School District is warning parents about a potential telephone scam involving school lunch accounts. The caller tells parents their child has a low balance and asks them to make a credit card deposit over the phone. A North Penn website notice says the district will never call anyone asking for a telephone deposit. Parents can pay with cash or a check at their child's school or use Visa or MasterCard on the internet through mySchoolBucks.com, a secure transaction gateway. There are no reports of any North Penn parents being victimized, and the school district is simply passing along a warning from the Pennsylvania Education Department.

In April, we posted a story about Google partnering with CurrentTV (the "hip" new tv channel chaired by Al Gore (-:) to provide search and "zeitgeist" data for a program called "Google Current" that will air throughout the day . Well, CurrentTV hit the airwaves today (available via satellite and cable (not on my cable system and no streaming) and Google Current is a part of the programming lineup. The CurrentTV web site is very slow today (and not easy to use) but I' did capture the Google Current logo.
No word if CurrentTV and Google Current segments will be searchable and/or viewable via Google Video. Actually, I'm a bit surprised that Google didn't promo the program (I couldn't find any mention) on their site today.
Postscript: Just noticed that a note about CurrentTV is now is now on the Google Blog.

Lead Actor: Dominic West, Gerard Butler, David Wenham, Vincent Regan, Lena Headey
not that great. you can find better prices all the time. heck just pay an extra 75 cents and you can get hte special edition version on amazon
I will say, given the grainy nature of this film, you do NOT want it on blu-ray, in my opinion.
This seems like a solid deal; splitting hairs, otherwise.
Ooo. Not just a DVD - a DUAL-LAYERED DVD.

How to Tell If Your Boyfriend's Gay
Posted by Michelle Nguyen on September 29, 2011 at 9:00 pm
Inspired by Matthew Kaiser's "Literature and Sexuality" lecture on the same topic.
As someone with a fairly accurate gaydar (since I have a gay roommate, various Gay Best Friends sprinkled across the globe, and have frequently been described as "a gay man in a female body", I don't think this is a compliment), I feel obliged to help prevent fellow heterosexual girls from the tragic mistake of falling for, dating, marrying, or reproducing with a gay guy. I would, however, turn a blind eye to drunken exchanges of saliva with attractive members of the opposite but homosexually-oriented sex (did I just invent that term? Anyway…). Every girl has those moments.
THE QUIZ: Add one point if your boyfriend/crush has one of these characteristics. (BE HONEST!)
- He has more than two pairs of skinny jeans.
- He fits into your skinny jeans. (And you know this because he's tried them on.)
- He notices when you wear the same outfit for two days in a row.
- He never wears the same outfit for two days in a row.
- He notices when you haven't straightened your hair.
- He straightens his hair.
- He notices when one of his arm hairs is longer than the rest.
- He is genuinely and visibly distressed by said hair.
- You frequently catch him checking himself out and fixing his hair in the mirror, on the side windows of CVS, on the front screen of his Blackberry, or on the back of his iPhone.
- He uses Wet Wipes for the toilet seat in his bathroom.
- He uses terms like "totes whatever floats your boat," "whatevs," "ewwww," "ughh." Note the prolonged pronunciation of syllables. In fact, if he whines those words long enough that you start to notice time elapsing, add one more point.
- He says things like "Those shoes make her calves look fat."
- He knows the difference between a romper, a jumpsuit, overalls, and a dress.
- He knows what a romper is.
- Wave a fake spider/cockroach/mouse in front of him and his scream rivals the decibel level of a small jet taking off.
- He's reluctant to help you take out the trash on a rainy day because it might ruin his new Sperrys.
- He has a girly, high-pitched, giggly laugh. See: Anderson Cooper's video on YouTube.
If your boyfriend/crush/random run-in in the Yard wears khaki pants with tennis shoes, minus a million points. You've got yourself a keeper! Now you can start working on revamping his wardrobe.
If your boy has accumulated more than 12 points at this stage, then chances are, he doesn't swing for your team. My condolences. But welcome to the club of girls-who-crush-on-(gay)-boys! My congratulations! (Hey, being a part of a group means something at Harvard.)
But seriously though, my motto at Harvard is that "Every (good-looking, well-mannered, well-spoken, obsess-worthy, etc.) guy is gay until proven otherwise." I'm just saying.
Disclaimer: This quiz is not meant to be 100% accurate or politically correct.
Special Thanks to my roommate, Ricardo Medina, for inspiring me. As always, dude. *high five*

Up until now, Mac OS X and Linux users had been left out of the socialthat is to say they haven't been able to use the Microsoft Zune with their operating system. "Until now" because the library libmtp is actually able to read the Zune's crazy filesystem on other, non-Microsoft OSes. How big a deal is this?
the zume is seeming better and better each day with these hacks but i still not getting one otherwise when the 6g ipod comes out i going to feel the zume will suck but this is a step fw for the zumeQuote:
Right now, it isn't that huge a deal. The programs making use of the library (like XNJB for Mac OS X which is pictured here and amaroK for Linux) still only offer rudimentary support for the Zune. The only thing you can do is read the files on the player and transferring files to and from the Zune is still a ways away.
However, a fully-functioning Zune for Mac OS X and/or Linux might get people to take a closer look at the Zune rather than automatically discounting it. Of course, you'd first have to be convinced that the Zune is worth going out of your way to configure esoteric libraries just to get it to work on your OS of choice. (Try saying the Zune is worth it to some people.) Still, progress is better than no progress and more options are always welcome. Nicholas Deleon

Rex Smith loves his car dealer
Buried in a Rex Smith editor's column about a special election section the TU printed is this bit about some boffo service from a car dealer:
"But I'm hoping you had a reaction when you got that section similar to the way I felt about a local car dealer the other day: The people who sold me a car last year came to my house and picked up the car, then changed the oil and rotated the tires before returning the car to my garage, all within three hours. I love those guys. They gave me the service I wanted. I'll probably buy another car from them."
Does anyone know which dealer does this?
One hour media project!
hmmm.. I think the real question would be: Would the service have been so wonderful if not provided to the editor of the local paper?
Um, none of them, except when Rex Smith comes in.
Did they leave a mint on the dashboard?
I understand Capitaland in Scotia and the Subaru dealership in Ravena due this.
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

What the boomers are leaving their children
Fewer jobs. Lower pay. Higher taxes. Now the Screwed Generation is starting to push back.
This January, the first baby boomers turn 65. The huge post-Second World War generation—which numbers 76 million in the United States, makes up almost a third of Canada's population, and according to one estimate, controls 80 per cent of Britain's wealth—will continue to enter their dotage at the rate of tens of thousands per day for the next 20 years. By 2050, there will be 30 million Americans aged 75 to 85, three in 10 Europeans will be 65-plus, and more than 40 per cent of Japan's population will be elderly. In Canada, the ratio of workers to retirees—currently five to one—will have been halved by 2036. And despite the odd dissenter, the generation that still oddly finds Paul McCartney relevant has made clear its intention to take everything it feels it has coming. It will be up to all who trail in their wake to pay for their privilege.
Common sense, not to mention decency, wouldn't call that just. But an outsized, over-entitled, and self-obsessed demographic is awfully hard for politicians to ignore. Take Britain's example. In last spring's general election, the most effective ad run by David Cameron's Conservatives was also one of the simplest: a close-up of a newborn baby, wriggling in a bassinet as a music box tinkled in the background. "Born four weeks ago, eight pounds, three ounces. With his dad's nose, mum's eyes, and Gordon Brown's debt," intoned a female voice. "Thanks to Labour's debt crisis, every child in Britain is born owing £17,000. They deserve better." The point was impossible to miss: the time had come to stop mortgaging the country's future.
As his first act, the new prime minister, a 44-year-old Gen Xer, cut his and his ministers' pay by five per cent, and froze all their salaries for five years. Tackling the U.K.'s $177.5-billion budget deficit and $1.6-trillion-plus national debt—annual interest payments alone stand at $70 billion—would require everyone to sacrifice, he told Britons. But there were also expectations that the burden wouldn't be equally shared. After all, one of Cameron's leading wonks, David "Two Brains" Willetts, now the minister for universities and science, had published a rather pointed manifesto, The Pinch: How the Baby Boomers Took Their Children's Future—and How They Can Give It Back, just before the election. After their victory, Thomas Friedman, the New York Times columnist, applauded the coming reckoning for a generation—his own—that had "eaten through all that abundance like hungry locusts." And even as the new government's chancellor of the exchequer, George Osborne, stood before Parliament in mid-October to announce $131 billion in spending cuts over the next four years—and the elimination of as many as 500,000 public sector jobs—the protect-the-youth rhetoric continued. "Today's the day when Britain steps back from the brink," he said, ensuring "that we do not saddle our children with the interest on the interest on the interest of the debts we were not ourselves prepared to pay."
The reality, however, proved to be somewhat different. The age when U.K. citizens can start drawing old-age pension would gradually increase from 65 to 66, but other entitlements like free eye tests and prescriptions for the elderly would remain untouched, as well as winter fuel allowances, and free local transit for anyone over 60. Among the biggest budget losers was the department for education, facing an overall reduction of 10.8 per cent, which according to one economic think tank will translate to funding cuts for 60 per cent of primary schools, and 87 per cent of secondary schools. And the legacy of "Two Brains" for Britain's shafted youth? A 40 per cent cut to post-secondary teaching grants, and a doubling—or in some cases, tripling—of tuition, to as much as $14,500 a year.
On Nov. 10, more than 50,000 angry students gathered in London to rally against the cuts. A video of Nick Clegg, the Liberal-Democrat leader and deputy prime minister, promising to do away with university fees during the election campaign, was greeted with choruses of "wanker, wanker." "They're proposing barbaric cuts that would brutalize our colleges and universities," said Aaron Porter, the president of the National Union of Students. "We're in the fight of our lives. We face an unprecedented attack on our future before it has even begun." Later on, a crowd of several thousand descended on the Conservative Party headquarters, trading punches with police, smashing windows, lighting fires, and for a time, occupying the building.
"The situation for young people is not terribly good," Ed Howker, a 29-year-old London journalist and author, says in a classic bit of British understatement. "And there's no sense from the government that they have the interests of the next 30 or 40 years of Britons in mind." Of the country's 2.45 million unemployed, close to 60 per cent are under the age of 30.The new budget has not only frozen civil service hires, it scrapped two youth jobs funds, slashed rent subsidies, and cut the money for new housing by half. Howker, who along with Shiv Malik wrote the just-released Jilted Generation: How Britain Bankrupted its Youth, says the sense of despair is becoming overwhelming. "Our generation just seems to be a lot worse off. In terms of key things like getting stable housing, or a well-paid job, or a successful career, we just don't have it." The boomers' aren't evil, he says, but they nonetheless bear much of the responsibility. The generation that relentlessly mythologizes its "peace and love" heyday became ardent consumers as they aged, and ended up moulding politics in their "me-first" image. "It's a consumer version of democracy, where politicians realized that if they merely satisfied the short-term desires of their electorate, rather than think in the long term and make good decisions on behalf of the future of the country, they would win elections," Howker argues. The bills become somebody else's problem.
Want a scary number? How about $1.5 trillion, the amount the C.D. Howe Institute estimates Canada's rapidly aging boomers are going to cost Ottawa and the provinces in extra health and pension expenses over the next 50 years. Or perhaps 2,500, the number of new long-term care facilities the Canadian Medical Association says will be needed to accommodate the doubling of Canada's 65-plus population in two decades. Sixty thousand is how many RNs the Canadian Nurses Association predicts we will be short by 2022. Or maybe just one per cent, the expected annual amount of real per-capita GDP growth in Canada over the next 30 years as boomers leave the work force—less than half of what we've experienced over the past four decades.
Combine a demographic bulge with a falling birth rate and ever-increasing life expectancy (now 80.7 years at birth in Canada), and pretty much all the figures start looking ugly. "We have a significant challenge ahead of us," says Chris Ragan, a professor of macroeconomics and economic policy at McGill. "The tax base will slow down, and spending will speed up. We can't just do nothing."
How to spot a Canadian
Canadians are the only nationality who, en masse, wear folk music festival T-shirts
It's folk fest weekend here in Calgary.
I know that music festivals are a source of some excitement in many cities – particularly ones where the summer is made up of one month (July), in which you serve as a roaming buffet for all sorts of insect life, enthusiastically encase your pale, fleshy legs in very small shorts, and get a very bad sunburn. August, it goes without saying, is spent peeling off burnt skin, and glumly emoting that the whole month feels like a Tuesday in September.
So, for this one weekend, it's no surprise that Calgary gets all astir. My friends in Ottawa tell me that Bluesfest feeds much the same excitement, and a friend from Guelph speaks enthusiastically of Hillside all year. It seems that folk music festivals (and their ilk) are very much a Canadian enthusiasm, and evidence of this can be seen all over the world.
We discovered this through a popular Dunn-family game while travelling. Not the one where we make up rude translations for the French news using bad accents, or the one where we add inappropriate embellishment to the cricket commentary on the radio. The one where we stereotype families and try to guess their nationality!
While visiting tourist-ridden central Italy last summer, this game became especially entertaining. After large, sleep-inducing pizzas, too tired to brave the sun, we would sit on the corner of a piazza and look out at the crowds. After spending so much time around the Italians, we had no difficulties spotting them – often wearing small white shorts, tan, and enormously fond of gold sequins, they positively glittered in the afternoon sun. The French were noticeable, I claimed, because they wore very stylish shoes, tossed their sweaters over their shoulders, and had precocious, tidy looking children. The Germans and Scandinavians both looked very blonde, their attire extremely practical, and the Brits were vigorously freckled.
My father often travels to the states, especially Texas, so he had a keen eye for spotting the Americans. He would immediately point out a gentleman – wearing a pastel coloured polo shirt, tucked into khaki shorts, with a belt. The belt, he said, was key – without this feature, the fellow could just as well be Dutch. My sister and I had no trouble spotting their daughters, for our part. In 35 degree heat, they were the only girls wearing a mini skirts and tank tops – with Ugg boots and wool Burberry scarves.
Now, a European eye might assume that there is little to distinguish the Canadian and the American families based on attire alone. However, my father never wears a belt with shorts, and our summer is much too short for us to wear wool in July. And, as we looked, our theory was proven correct. A Canadian family suddenly came into view, looking. . . very much like us.
Equitable access to education in Europe
Ministers pledge to remove all barriers to study, and create "appropriate economic conditions for students"
European ministers with responsibility for post-secondary education in the 46 countries involved in the Bologna Process recently met at the University of Louvain in Belgium to set priorities for the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) for the next decade. The statement released following the meeting highlighted the importance of equitable student access to post-secondary education as follows:
"The student body within higher education should reflect the diversity of Europe's populations. We therefore emphasize the social characteristics of higher education and aim to provide equal opportunities to quality education. Access into higher education should be widened by fostering the potential of students from underrepresented groups and by providing adequate conditions for the completion of their studies. This involves improving the learning environment, removing all barriers to study, and creating the appropriate economic conditions for students to be able to benefit from the study opportunities at all levels. Each participating country will set measurable targets for widening overall participation and increasing participation of underrepresented groups in higher education, to be reached by the end of the next decade. Efforts to achieve equity in higher education should be complemented by actions in other parts of the educational system."

Welcome to the Evolutionary and Ecological Entomology webpage.
Principal Investigators
We are interested in the evolutionary ecology of reproduction, immunology and life histories of insects. Klaus Reinhardt focuses on sexual conflict, sperm ageing and how microbes affect variation in sperm cells, genitalia, mating behaviour and biomaterials. Jens Rolff is most interested in long-lasting immunity of insects and how this prevents microbial resistance and the evolution of sexual dimorphism in immunity. Mike Siva-Jothy concentrates on reproductive immunology and sexual conflict.
We are also members of the NSF Ecological Immunology network (www.ecoimmunology.org) |

And if you live in Tucson area, you can buy the book at Tucson Tucson Therapies at Alvernon and Pima, starting Friday, October 26th, 2012, and you can purchase the novel, right now, at Betty Blue's Junk Shop at 262 S.

Image: "Queen Esther Baptist Church, Lancaster, Virginia" (c) 2011 Stu Jenks (Just down River Road from Victoria's house. Love that luscious red carpet. And for you nocturnals out there, it was handheld. Rare for me.)
In this time of making photos on iPhones and Macbook Pros and only looking on screens, I forget I'm a old-school guy. I make a 8 1/2 x 11 work print on archival paper of EVERY image I make. EVERY one. It's the only way, for me, to accurately check for color shift, density, composition, etc. I really like my iPad screen but it's no way to make a good print.
And I have hundreds, if not thousands, of work prints artist proofs at my studio.
If you see an image of mine on The StuBlog or on my old website or on the Fezziwig Press Store or in any of my books, there's a beautiful small print in a box somewhere, perhaps with your name on it. And since I'm organized, I can find it.
Many of you can't afford my larger prints. I understand. I don't have an extra 50 or 100 lying around either. But I do have an extra $20 for stuff I really like.
So if you see an image of mine on any of my sites or in any of my books and you want it, it's yours for $25, shipping, handling and tax included. (I believe in paying taxes, sales and otherwise.)
Just email me at my facebook page or through the StuBlog or at firstname.lastname@example.com, and tell me what print you would like or just pull the jpeg and send that to me.
I was just watching the Tarhells lose today in basketball, working on images at my computer when I thought, 'I bet people don't realize I have boxes of work prints here.'
You all do now.
Love and light,
p.s. Ignore the catagories belows. The computer went wacky. Another reason why I prefer a print in the hand as opposed to an image in The Cloud.

I'm feeling a little lost in my life.
I think I'm a little lost in Wyoming.
At least my insides match my outsides.
"Red Rock Water Tower, Arizona" (c) 2012 Stu Jenks
The first draft of the novel is done!!! It came in at 149,000 words, 552 pages in my document. Yeaaaa! I can't tell you how good it feels. The ending made me cry, as I hope it does you. (Last word in the novel, which won't change in revision: Sighs.) I want to jump right back to the beginning and start revisions, but Mary Ann suggests I take more than just a couple days off. OK. I'll take off three or four days. LOL. But then it's fixing this and revising that, then off to the editors. And I have ideas for the next novel in this series, too. I have some pretty great characters, I think, and I want to see what they will do next. But first things first. Get this novel to print.
One serious note: It took about a year to write this novel, but it almost didn't get done. With Mary and Pamela dying and all, I didn't work on it for about six weeks and it was so hard to get my momentum back. But I did. But it was difficult. If you are working on a novel or a large work, I recommend you plow through, even if the field is frozen. I've been told I'm very lucky to have gotten back on track.
Speaking of track, good luck to Danica Patrick tomorrow in the Daytona 500 and in the rest of Sprint Cup and Nationwide races this season. I might just have to go up to PHX next Saturday to watch her race.
By the way, did I mention I finished the freaking first draft of the novel?

Open Text Overview & Getting Started
The Open Text content management system is a software suite which contains the university's primary web presence. Departmental editors modify offline copies of the live content, which allows changes to be made and reviewed by a team before revisions reach the live web.
The Open Text software runs from inside your browser, so there is no additional software to install. However, if the server asks for authorization or you receive a warning that Open Text is trying to install a web application, it is safe to proceed. All major browsers are officially supported by Open Text, however confirmed problems exist with all versions of Internet Explorer. We recommend using either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to avoid known software conflictions. Mac users can use Safari.
Since Open Text runs inside of the browser, it is important to keep your session active in order to continue editing. If you type a different web address in the address bar of your browser while logged into Open Text, your session will be lost and you will likely need to log in again. It is also important to avoid using the Back, Forward or Refresh functions as this will also likely interrupt your session. Everything you need to do in order to work inside of Open Text is provided in some way within Open Text itself.
Getting Started
Log in to the Open Text server: http://cmsserver.semo.edu using your Southeast Key.
After logging in, the Homepage is displayed. Customization of the panels shown on this page is possible using the Configure Homepage button located in the upper right-hand corner, though this is not necessary.
On the far right of the page near the top, under the search prompt, click the Select Project button and choose 'semo.edu'. For whatever reason this never works the first time, so click it again and a green check mark will appear next to semo.edu under Select Project. Now there should be additional tabs available next to the Homepage tab listed at the top.
Click the SmartEdit tab to access the main editing functions of Open Text. If everything works correctly, you should now be looking at your department's homepage or a custom start page that provides links to sites you are assigned to edit.

Arthur Murray has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and The Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, The Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.
The Inn's four guest rooms are located in the original structure and reflect the charm and amenities of the Inn itself. Each room features complimentary premium natural L'OCCITANE toiletries, wireless internet access, cable T.V., two telephones, alarm radio, refrigerator, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, writing desk and
With two locations situated in the heart of Harvard Square and Natick, Dolphin Seafood Restaurant reflects the unique maritime flavors of Boston and the Atlantic coast, receiving daily shipments of fresh seafood such as Chesapeake Bay oysters and Maine clams. Cooks stir fresh pots of New England clam chowder and broil filets of Bluefish, Idaho rainbow trout, and swordfish swathed in butter and garlic over their breadcrumb-flavored scales. At each restaurant, patrons can unwind in the evenings in a lounge with beers on tap, sports on the TV, and martini glasses filled with specialty cocktails.
One of the most enjoyable ways to experience different cultures is by exploring their cuisines, and at Maxwells 148, guests can zoom around the globe with bites from an international menu. Executive Chef Mitchell Maxwell sees to it. More than just a passive admirer of the Asian and Italian foods that stand out on the Zagat-rated menu, the experienced kitchen master has trained in the lands from which these cuisines originate. His passion for Asian food has taken him to Honolulu, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore—he spent time in a kitchen in each of those locations. And his love of Italian fare dovetailed neatly with his pan-Asian education when he learned how to cook in the style of the Friuli region of Italy with chefs who hailed from there, but who were in Hawaii with Maxwell.
The results of Chef Maxwell's globetrotting education are palpable in the flavors of appetizers such as Maine lobster or Hudson Valley foie gras. Or, they emerge from a pasta dish of Cantonese noodles with shrimp or linguini siciliana with cauliflower. His house specialties include classic chicken marsala, gnocchi ai aragosta, and kaffir-lime seared scallops.
Zebra's Bistro and Wine Bar's eclectic, ever-shifting menu spotlights the freshest ingredients of the season. Rev internal engines with the crab cakes, topped with wilted spinach and saffron citrus essence ($12.95), or fix headlights on the goat cheese empanadas, drizzled with corn salsa ($10.95). For entrees, the pan-roasted chicken breast rests over a Craftmatic mattress of gnocchi (19.95) while panko baked cod ($22.95) hugs a fish fillet in flaky breadcrumbs. Zebra's sushi menu fills eyes before diners fill stomachs with classic tuna rolls ($5.50), sumptuous shrimp tempura ($8.95), and a signature zebra roll stuffed with shrimp, yamagobo, and avocado ($14.95).

Tone Deaf
by John BrattainFebruary 10, 2007
O.K., O.K., it's the lull before pitchers and catchers report and my brain is mush (or mushier than usual). My computer is in the shop and I'm doing this in a locale that could be charitably described as a bunker.
All in all, if you're expecting something in depth you'd best hit the key with the <-- symbol on it. In the interest of full disclosure (and also that you'll treat my column with the dignity it won't deserve), I live out in the boonies and I'm still getting caught up on the latest and guess what? There ain't much unless you want to talk about A-Rod or Barry Bonds—which is what folks are writing about since they've got nothing to write about, either.
However, for you music buffs, we have the upcoming Grammy Awards. There have been a number of baseball songs over the years: John Fogerty's "Centerfield" and Bob Dylan's "Catfish" as well as songs with references to the grand ol' game such as Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire," Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" and Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days."
I couldn't help but wonder what song titles might be subconsciously baseball related.
For example: "Always On My Mind" could be Barry Bonds singing in the mirror.
"You Can't Always Get What You Want": What the Red Sox told Scott Boras during the Matsuzaka negotiations.
"Hard Habit To Break": The ballad of Steve Howe

"Brilliant Disguise": Bobby Valentine's--managing the Mets.
"You Shook Me All Night Long": Josh Towers vs. American League hitters last year.
"Carry On Wayward Son": Bobby to Barry.
"With Or Without You": Song about every bloody offseason that Manny remains on the Red Sox.
"Ramblin' Man": Curt Schilling and an unprotected microphone.
"Money For Nothing": Dire & Dreifort?
"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For": The saga of A-Rod.
"I Shot The Sheriff": Kevin Malone gets fired from the Dodgers.
"Get Off Of My Cloud": Jeff Weaver on a team flight.
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough": David Wells' first spring training workout…
"Whole Lot Of Shakin' Going On": …including wind sprints.
"Take The Money And Run": Scott Boras' No. 1 piece of advice to players.
"When Will I Be Loved": A-Rod's question to Yankee fans.
"I Want You To Want Me": A-Rod's plea to Yankee fans...

We visited this bar on the last day to go home, the workers are very friendly and the food very good. And really nice cold beer and appel pie was so nice.
We visited this bar on the last day to go home, the workers are very friendly and the food very good. And really nice cold beer and appel pie was so nice.
We stopped at the Sundeck for breakfast before visiting the street market held on Mondays in Cala Millor. We had a "small breakfast" made up of 1 sausage, 1 rasher of bacon, 1 fried egg, beans, 1 slice of tomato, mushrooms, 1 and ½ slices of bread and a cup of tea plus a scone and a cup of coffee.... More
After a few days staying in the hotel La Pinta this little bar/ restaurant was like a piece of heaven. Wonderful food, great staff and a good central location. I had a great meal with not a thing to complain about. The staff were more than happy to converse with people and had a lot of time for their customers.... More
lovely food and friendly staff, value for money and quick service. We would definitely use this bar again
we went a few times at begining it was ok +i eat more or less same thing every time we went +they never new what to charge it just got more expensive +less on plate every time
Highly reccomend for anyone looking for a variety of british meals. eg..we ate there on a sunday so we could have a full sunday roast dinner, yet sampled other spanish cuisine on the other days. Friendly waitress and tasty food.
Very friendly food good and service good. Had brekkie here a few times and never failed to impress.staff allways been talkative and friendly will visit again but poss for evening meal.
This is a great little pub in Calla Millor based in the centre next to the strip. Serves great food and very cheap, was recommended by friends and we were not disappointed.
Have been going to the Sun Deck off and on for about 8 years now. Always get a cheerful welcome and prices are reasonable. You can get a mug of coffee instead of a tiny cup and their lemon meringue pie is to die for!
Good value 4Hr happy hour , good service and good quality food and drinks nice place great for people watching in the heart of the centre

I heard Carmen Lundy in Madison a few years ago during the Mary Lou Williams Centennial. She impressed me as a fantastic vocalist with many expressive vocal techniques at her command. She is also known to be an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger. Here is an announcement from Madison Music Collective with details about two workshops she'll conduct when she returns to Madison in June to headline the Isthmus Jazz Festival.
Madison Music Collective is teaming with Wisconsin Union Theater to co-produce the headline concert at the Isthmus Jazz Festival, and this year's headliner is world-class vocalist Carmen Lundy. In addition to her free evening concert at Old Music Hall on 6/22/13, Carmen will be conducting two outstanding workshops for vocal and instrumental musicians in our community (both amateur and professional).

Contained Within's Connection coaching model is a method of observing the physical world and your responses to it. Then begins a process of questioning to engage the mental aspect of yourself, examining what your responses could mean, looking to see what is supporting you and what is not and why it is not supporting you. This questioning process will bring emotions to the surface. Contained Within will work with you to engage the awesome and amazing potential of your emotional self. All this works toward expanding your connection to spiritual aspect in each of us. That part of each of us the connected to the endless possibility that exist, just waiting to brought back to the physical. Isn't that Exciting!

MARQUETTE -- The recent tornados and floods have devastated communities across the Midwest and Tuesday, a Marquette business is going to help those affected by the damage. Culver's restaurant will participate in an annual event called "A Day of Giving". All day Tuesday, 10 percent of all their proceeds will go to the American Red Cross to provide such things as food, shelter and emotional support to victims of the disasters. They're calling on local residents to help them raise as much money as possible.
"It means a lot to us that we're able to do this every year, especially this year because of tornado and flood relief because it hit so close to home. It also feels good to be able to do your job but give a little extra," said Culver's manager, Heather Mattson.
Members of the Red Cross will be on hand to serve food and take donations.
