Tuesday 10 Dec 2013
By Eric Magnuson. Web onlyPublished online: 02 July 2012
Twice a year, Boston's streets are packed with trucks as students move on and off campuses in the university-filled town. Throughout this summer, however, some of those lorries are hauling much more interesting loads than budget furniture.
A 26-foot-long rented U-Haul truck is bringing local artists to Boston neighbourhoods that don't normally have a visual arts scene. The White Walls Boston mobile art series launched on 30 June, featuring the work Phototrop by the local artists Jesse Kaminsky and Vela Phelan.Throughout the night, and "after a brief technical battle", according to the project's Facebook page, Kaminsky and Phelan drove their installation piece to four different locations where they parked and opened the back door to let passersby step inside to view their work. The piece consists of a rear-projection video beamed through an installation of thousands of blue strings cutting across every angle of the lorry's interior. The series' organiser, Ethan Kiermaier, says he created the project due to "a lack of truly independent art spaces in Boston". He says that participating artists are choosing the specific locations where they show their work. For Kaminksy and Phelan's piece, they utilised the urban landscape, drawing people to their work by shooting the projection through the back-end of the lorry and directly onto nearby architecture. The mobile series, supported by a grant from a local non-profit arts organisation called Berwick Research Institute, continues on 4 to 5 August with a performance piece by Maria Molteni that Kiermaier calls "a tent revival out of a truck". The final date for the series is 1 September, featuring work by the local musician Shane Butler. Exact locations are to be announced soon.Kaminsky says he was interested in working with the constraints posed by a lorry, not least of which is driving through Boston traffic. "Driving a 26-foot truck and finding parking in Boston on a Saturday night is a nightmare."

RALEIGH - A Fayetteville woman pleaded guilty to failing to file a state tax return in 2009, according to the state Department of Revenue.
La Reina Whitfield, 33, the 1400 block of Distinct Circle got a suspended prison sentence of 45 days, was ordered to pay a $100 fine and was placed on unsupervised probation for 12 months, according to a news release.
Whitfield appeared Thursday in Wake County District court before Judge Debra Sasser. Whitfield pleaded guilty to willful failure to file return, supply information, or pay tax.
She was also ordered to file all her future income tax returns on time, according to the release.
Department of Revenue officials said that Whitfield was employed at the One Stop Financial Center in Dunn when she did not file her tax return that year.

Within three days of arriving on Gasparilla Island for the first time, Bud Konheim owned a house here.
"I called an old friend from Phillips Exeter, Mike Holmes," Bud said. "I was raising money for the school's endowment. We talked for a while and caught up with each other. At the end of the conversation, I asked him, 'Where in the hell is 941?'"
Mike started telling him about Boca Grande. Not about the restaurants, or the cocktail parties. He told him about the people.
"He described the atmosphere, and by the time I hung up, I had agreed to visit," Bud said. "My friend got us a place at the Boca Grande Club for Thanksgiving. Then he sicced Donna Moore on us. We bought our house on Lee Avenue in three days."
The island reminded Konheim of his family home in New England. He was born during the Depression, though his family was comfortably situated.
"We had a 23-room house on a few acres of land in the suburbs on the south shore of Long Island," Bud explained. "But the Depression wasn't just an economy; it was a mentality. I was born in 1935, and things really didn't start turning around until after the War. You just didn't flaunt your status. It was considered tasteless and offensive. There was no keeping up with the Joneses back then."
This was brought home to him as a teen when he started becoming interested in cars.
"I went home from school one day and asked my parents why we didn't have a Cadillac. The looks on their faces!" Konheim chuckled. "What would people think? We had three cars and a chauffer, but the cars were Plymouths. A Cadillac was too much."
Konheim is the fourth generation of his family to go into the garment business. His great-grandparents started selling clothing in New York City in the late 1800's, and the family has been in the business ever since. Konheim's start was a bit unusual.
"I was attending Dartmouth, and I was suspended," he admitted. "I'd been causing trouble for years, and finally my parents told me that they weren't going to pay for school any more. If I wanted to go back, I'd have to pay my own way. I got a job on Wall Street, and I worked there for several months. Then I went to work for my dad. We had reconciled by then, but he still wasn't going to give me a job with a lot of responsibility. He sent me to a plant in Elizabeth, New Jersey."
Bud spent his time in the next few weeks making cardboard boxes. They were cut out by hand back then, so to say it was laborious is an understatement. While the task was pretty much drudgery, the atmosphere fired his interest.
"The whole Wall Street experience is based on earnings and industry analysis without ever having the actual pleasure of making something," Bud said. "When I went to work at my father's factory, I was surrounded by product being made and shipped to customers. I was part of that energetic atmosphere. By the time the next semester started, I had enough money saved to return to Dartmouth. When I went back to school, I had no patience for anything that resembled 'getting by.' My six-month suspension from Dartmouth was one of the best learning experiences of my life."
His newfound drive to learn and succeed was not the only change in Konheim. After asking a question based on his experience on Wall Street and receiving a less than satisfactory answer, he changed his major.
"I went from business to English," he said. "I buried myself in the English major and picked Henry James as the subject for my thesis. Henry James, his forte, his strength, was point of view. An example is his novel 'What Masie Knew.' It's all written through the eyes of a little girl growing up in a divorced family. At first she is everyone's favorite as she goes back and forth between the homes. Then as her parents start new lives with their new partners, she falls to the wayside. Everything is written from what she knows, and she doesn't understand at all why this is happening to her."
Even in literature, Konheim finds lessons for business.
"One story that stays with me is an essay, really. It was written right around the time of the Spanish American War. It's about two pages long. 'A Message to Garcia' is the name of it. It is the story of a message President McKinley needed delivered to the leader of a group of rebels in Cuba, and the soldier who delivered it. He didn't ask why he was doing the job, or if it even was his job, he just did it. We need more people like that in the business world, people you can give a job to and know that it is going to get done."
After graduating from college, Konheim joined the Marine Corps. He served from 1958 through 1964. He was an infantryman, though he never saw action.
"When I joined, it was just after Korea," he said. "The U.S. Army had lost its way. I wanted to join the Marine Corps because they had a long-time reputation for great performance, instead of great excuses. Nothing was happening in those years and the Marine Corps was short of money, so the last few years I was only active one month a year and the rest of the year was in the Reserves."
In 1962, Konheim joined a company that his father started. His mother had founded her own women's wear company in 1955, and in 1970 she began running his father's company as well. When his mother retired in 1975, Konheim took over. That year, he made a life-changing decision by hiring a designer named Nicole Miller. Seven years later, he and Miller began the fashion company that bears her name.
While his professional life was taking off, Konheim's first marriage ended.
"I've always believed in the philosophy that a healthy mind and healthy body go hand-in-hand," he said. "I had gone through a divorce and my mind wasn't in a good place, so I decided that I would go somewhere and get my body in shape and spend time alone reading. In 1979, I ended up in Salt Lake City, where I knew almost no one. I called the one guy I knew there before I made the trip. I told him that I was going to be in town, but that I wasn't there to meet people, I was there to exercise and read, to get in better shape. His wife met me at the airport, and when we got in the car she asked me to come to a dinner party she was giving!"
He reluctantly said he would attend, and that's where he met Colleen.
"Even with my crazy business schedule, from that moment on we weren't apart for more than a month," Bud recalled. "Gallery openings, parties, we always found an excuse to be in the same places. Exactly one year after that dinner party, we were married ... it's a good thing she likes pigs, because I am one!"
He was referring to his sign on the Chinese zodiac.
"It's a 12-year cycle, and the year I was born in was the Year of the Pig," he explained. "We have pigs everywhere. Pottery pigs, iron pigs, even a gold pig that a friend sent me from China. He's a pig, too, born 12 years later than me. We have a lot in common."
The theme goes beyond a collection of statues and miniatures, though. The Konheims own a boat, named Hog Wild. The home they bought on Lee Avenue came to be known as 'Pig Heaven,' complete with monogrammed towels bearing the name.
Like so many other people who come to Boca Grande, Konheim has no intention of retiring. He travels between Florida and New York regularly, with Colleen staying on the island that they love during the season. They recently sold the Lee Avenue cottage and bought a house on First Street.
The only question is the name. Will it involve pigs?
"Pig Heaven may not fit the new house," he said. "We'll have to let it settle in for a while and see."

How good is the new Suse?
In the June 2006 issue of Linux Magazine, we took a look at the new features introduced by the imminent Suse version. Read on to find out if the final version is worth an update.
May 12 was the big day: Novell finally uploaded Suse Linux 10.1 to various servers for i386, x86_64, and ppc. You may recall that the beta version we tested still had a number of bugs, and this prompted us to carefully scrutinize the official version. Installation and Hardware Installing Suse Linux 10.1 on a recent machine should be no problem. And we had no trouble updating a 10.0 version in our lab, although you may need to resolve conflicts if you choose to update. If you have a heavily-used machine, this could mean numerous clicks on keep packagename or delete packagename. Some users might have appreciated a button for Keep everything or even Delete everything. YaST sets up a random hostname that follows a pattern of linux-abcd during the install process: a good idea, especially if you are installing multiple machines simultaneously on a network.

Moviegoers won't be in Kansas anymore when they're at the Cameo Art House Theatre this weekend.
The downtown movie theater will present "Wizard of Oz Fest," which will feature two showings of the iconic over-the-rainbow cinema classic, "The Wizard of Oz." The first will be Friday, Nov. 23 at 1 p.m. and will be for the whole family. (Better hurry!)
The second, however, will be much more psychedelic. On Saturday, Nov. 24, the theater will show "Dark Side of Oz," featuring the music of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" played over "The Wizard of Oz." The movie will begin at 10 p.m.
It's quite the unique holiday offering, said Nasim Kuenzel, who owns the Cameo with her husband, Chris.
"We wanted to do a holiday film for Thanksgiving, and for a long time people have asked us to bring 'The Wizard of Oz,' " said Kuenzel. "We thought it sounded like a good idea."
It also gave them the perfect excuse to show "Dark Side of Oz," she said.
Kuenzel said it was a happy intersection of circumstances. Both she and her husband are fans of Pink Floyd and the classic film.
"It's impressive how well the music matches up with the movie," said Kuenzel. "It feels like they were made for each other. It's synchronicity at work in a very odd way."
I can see how the pairing has other similarities, as well. Both have something to do with bricks - a road for one, and a wall for the other. Both deal with a journey, or transformation, of sorts. And both deal with a "Big Brother" figure.
I'm sure there are other ways the film and the record match up or are comparable, but I'll leave that in the hands of cinephiles and music aficionados.
Tickets for the regular, tried-and-true "The Wizard of Oz" are $7. Tickets for "The Dark Side of Oz" are $9.
Kuenzel said she hopes the pairing attracts audiences that are fans of both the film and the record and people who are looking for an excuse to come to the Cameo.
"We're always looking for ways to highlight what we offer here," said Kuenzel.
In light of the theater's need to raise $200,000 to upgrade to digital projectors, any effort to make new fans has to be a good one.

Mississippi residents are marvelling that no one died after a powerful tornado tore a path across at least three counties, injuring more than 80 people. Officials said several circumstances converged to ensure no lives were lost in what should have been a deadly storm: Sirens and TV broadcasts gave people as much as 30 minutes of warning; the University of Southern Mississippi was emptier than usual because of Mardi Gras; and most businesses were either closed or quiet because it was a Sunday.

After a November 2012 breakup scare (when you release a statement citing 'internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition' for the cancellation of your tour, it's hard to not jump to conclusions about the future of the band) it would seem that Joy & John Paul of The Civil Wars are working through the drama that put an end to their touring and are releasing some new music! Cue up some new stuff featuring T-Bone Burnett below:
'Long Time Gone' is just one of fourteen new songs that the pair penned with T-Bone for the upcoming film 'A Place at the Table' - a documentary from Food, Inc. producers that explores American food and hunger issues that as Joy explains, have reached epidemic proportions:
Coinciding with the soundtrack's release, the full-length documentary (distributed by Magnolia Pictures) will be released on March 1st in theatres nationwide as well as on iTunes and On Demand.

Abstract: During the past decade, significant progress has been made on how to accommodate and teach learners with disabilities. However, less research has been done on creating a conducive learning environment for learners with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to determine the accessibility of Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) laboratories for learners with mobility problems. The focus of this study was on the accessibility, reach ability, and safety of FCS laboratories. Fifty junior secondary schools in the South Central Region of Botswana were selected for the study. A questionnaire and an accessibility checklist were used to evaluate the laboratories' current situation. The findings indicate that all FCS laboratories investigated were not designed to meet the needs of learners with mobility disabilities. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1089 Files in this item: 1

Zimudzi, E. (ARI, http://journals.savap.org.pk, September NaN, 2012)[more][less]
Abstract: This paper presents an implementation of active-learning-based teaching model for teaching a topic on programming techniques in an undergraduate computer science education course which prepares students to teach the Botswana General Certificate of Science Education (BGCSE) computer studies subject. This programming topic is very crucial for developing lifelong skills in problem-solving and critical thinking skills; skills that are of crucial importance in the career of computing graduates. The topic has always been very difficult to master for pre-service computer studies students who have very little programming experience. We suggest this active learning approach for the reason that the students actively participate during the discussion, and the course tutor can easily identify the alternative conceptions that the students have, and be able to provide the necessary help to the future computer studies teachers. Active learning is a constructivist teaching approach that actively engages students in the learning process. The students learn problem-solving by doing, through a step-by-step process, and always build on what they already know previously. It uses different methodological interaction techniques, thereby improving student understanding of the programming concepts and the general motivation to learn more. We also discuss the role of the teacher in active learning approach. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1170 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The World Health Organisation called for research assessing the safety of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette). We evaluated the acute effect of active and passive e-cigarette and tobacco cigarette smoking on complete blood count (CBC) markers in 15 smokers and 15 never-smokers, respectively. Smokers underwent a control session, an active tobacco cigarette smoking session, and an active e-cigarette smoking session. Never-smokers underwent a control session, a passive tobacco cigarette smoking session, and a passive e-cigarette smoking session. The results demonstrated that CBC indices remained unchanged during the control session and the active and passive e-cigarette smoking sessions (P > 0.05). Active and passive tobacco cigarette smoking increased white blood cell, lymphocyte, and granulocyte counts for at least one hour in smokers and never smokers (P < 0.05).It is concluded that acute active and passive smoking using the e-cigarettes tested in the current study does not influence CBC indices in smokers and never smokers, respectively. In contrast, acute active and passive tobacco cigarette smoking increase the secondary proteins of acute inflammatory load for at least one hour. More research is needed to evaluate chemical safety issues and other areas of consumer product safety of e-cigarettes, because the nicotine content in the liquids used may vary considerably.

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.

Abstract: This study examined the relationship between family factors and secondary school students' aggressive and antisocial behaviours. Participants were 1,478 junior and senior secondary school students from four major urban centres in Botswana, aged 12-20. Results showed significant prevalence of self-reported aggressive tendencies and antisocial behaviours among secondary school students in Botswana. Boys rated themselves higher on aggression, use of alcohol and drugs and carrying and using dangerous weapons compared to girls. High scores on antisocial and aggressive behaviours were significantly related to poor parent-child relations and low parental monitoring. The results are consistent with findings from previous studies. The findings have important implications to violence prevention programs for children and adolescents. Suggestions for future research and the development of intervention programs are made. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/514 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This manuscript documents the perceptions of teachers and learners towards the Regenerated Freirean Literacy Empowerment and Community Techniques (REFLECT) approach in the delivery of literacy in Ngamiland District, Botswana. It suggests that REFLECT changed the perceptions, lives, and work experiences of learners and teachers. REFLECT caused teachers to recognize learners' knowledge and experiences. It enabled teachers to experience professional growth and engage in democratic practices and encouraged learners to make personal and group choices and take action against certain undesirable practices, such as alcoholism and the sale of beer to minors. The study argues that, compared to REFLECT, the current national literacy program is centralized and has minimal impact on participants. However, as implemented in the pilot project, REFLECT also had limitations, such as failing to generate practical solutions, demanding too much time from participants, and using poorly qualified teachers. These challenges could be addressed and REFLECT should be adopted to train regular literacy teachers nation-wide. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1100 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Student learning is influenced by many factors which educational research is tasked to determine and feed into the teaching-learning process to enhance its effectiveness. Several studies with different populations have determined that that to which a learner attributes his or her performance significantly influences such performance. To determine some of the factors that significantly impact upon students' causal attribution of their performance on mathematics, this study ana1ysed, using chi-square (c2) statistics, survey research data from 717 Form D (Form 4) students from 30 randomly selected secondary schools in the Kingdom of Lesotho. The results showed that while gender of students had no significant influence on students attribution of their performance in mathematics, the person with whom the students were living, students' preferred occupation after school, type of proprietor of schools, and preferred classroom seating zone during mathematics lesson, each had significant influence on this variable. Based on these results, appropriate discussions and recommendations were made. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1094 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Students with disabilities are under-represented in higher education (HE) institutions in Botswana. The number of students with disabilities is on the rise but parity has not been attained. The struggle of students with disabilities to access and participate in HE remains an issue of great concern for disability activists and researches. This paper sought to document the experiences of university students with disabilities took part in the study. Data were gathered through semi-structured focus group interviews. Later on these data were triangulated with an analysis. Six themes emerged, namely: attitudinal barriers; resource barriers; structural barriers; policy related issues; lack of support mechanisms; and lack of skills and knowledge. Implications of the findings to institutions of higher learning are discussed in order to promote wider participation for students with disabilities in HE in Botswana.

Abstract: The article reports findings on the impact of HIV/AIDS on the University of Botswana. Data from multiple sources was used to ascertain prevalence rates, morbidity and mortality among students and staff. Prevalence rates andfuture projections on morbidity could not be ascertained for both students and staff because of the absence of reliable data. The main conclusion drawn is that mortality rates for industrial and junior support staff are almost as high as that of the national adult population (15-49 years). Mortality rates for students and academic staff are however much lower than that projected for equivalent age groups in the national population. The study recommends the setting up of a comprehensive management information system supported by action-oriented research to inform institutional planning and to help comprehend how the epidemic will affect the university URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/604 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This study examines the role and functions of the Botswana Assessment Centre in diagnosing the learning needs of primary school students. It also examines the issues and challenges faced by learners with special needs who are not assessed for placement and/or instructional modification in regular primary schools. This study endeavours to articulate the issues around this lack of assessment and its implications for the learners and teachers of such learners. Forty-nine teachers from primary schools in Gaborone and surroundings responded to a thirteen-item questionnaire. Data from this questionnaire was analysed using descriptive statistics, t-tests and ANOVA. The results show that the Botswana Assessment Centre (Central Resource Centre (CRC) is unable to assess all students who require assessment and that there is a long wait time for assessments. The results also revealed that although the majority of schools had School Intervention Teams (SIT) who were responsible for referring students to assessment, the role of teams was unclear in some schools. This study recommends that government address the critical shortage of staff facing the Centre and pay more attention to the composition and functioning of the SITs. Finally, the Ministry of Education should explore other ways of ensuring that assessment for placement and modification of instruction can be efficiently and effectively carried out across Botswana.

Abstract: Food product labelling has become a popular policy tool, particularly with respect to the provision of nutrition and health information. Nutrition labelling is a valuable tool in learning how to apply nutrition information in a practical way. Nutrition information on food labels can help consumers to choose healthier food. For companies competing in the global food and beverage marketplace, understanding local consumer attitudes and purchase behaviour regarding healthy foods, nutrition, and labelling is critically important for success. This study attempts to evaluate the level of knowledge and use of nutrition information on food packages among consumers in Maseru, Lesotho. A structured questionnaire, covering aspects of knowledge and use of food labels and nutrition information, was used to collect information from two hundred and sixty consumers. The study also included open-ended questions on what consumers expected to be on the food label, what they understand by nutrition information, what its importance is, and if they think it should be included on the food package labels and why. The findings indicate that the main demographic features of the participants were: 67.3% female, 59.6% married, 55.9% completed primary, middle or high school, and 68.4% were poor. Majority (71.2%) of the participants claimed that they use a shopping list. Less than half of the participants (40.5%) indicated that nutrition information on food labels, rather than price, taste, appearance, habit, convenience, or brand name, was their main motivator to purchase foods. With regard to food label and nutrition information knowledge, a majority of the participants said they knew about them (59.6% for food label knowledge, and 69.2% for nutrition information knowledge). The same trend has been observed with respect to use of nutrition information on food labels when shopping, where 63.8% claimed that they utilise that knowledge when shopping. For the lowest income group, food price was the major determining factor of the types of foods they buy. A positive relationship between age of participants and nutrition information knowledge was observed. It was noted that as the level of education increased, the level of knowledge about food label increased. The level and use of nutrition knowledge when purchasing foods increased with age, education level and family income. Answers to the open-ended questions showed high degree of awareness about nutrition information on food labels, and why it is important to utilise that information.

Abstract: A survey study was conducted to establish perceptions of students who completed in 2008 and 2009 respectively in the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) in Education Management regarding the study provision and conditions, therefore the perceived value and quality of the study programme. Theories of learning which point to the influence of the 'inner world', the 'work environment' and the 'other people' on learning and therefore perceptions of programmes were used as the theoretical framework. B.Ed. Educational Management students filled in a questionnaire which had both open and close ended items. Perceptions were deduced from views on, among others, facilities to support the programme, usefulness of the programme for work, quality of the programme and support availed students. The findings showed an overwhelming positive perception of the programme. By implication, the programme would be expected to positively enhance learning thus, produce managers who would have a positive impact in the schools. Among the recommendations made were that the Ministry of Education and Skills Development of Botswana considers sponsoring more inservice management students to the local programme to reduce on costs, with cognisance being taken to avoid inbreeding where every manager would be coming from the local institution. Another recommendation is to conduct a study to establish the impact of these graduates on education where they are deployed as school managers.

Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to gain an understanding of the challenges of teaching non-speaking learners with intellectual disabilities and the scope of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) used in primary school settings in Gaborone, Botswana. A qualitative interview methodology was used to investigate the experiences of 11 special educators working with non-speaking learners with intellectual disabilities. Participants of the study revealed that teaching non-speaking students with intellectual disabilities is challenging. The study further showed that AAC systems were not widely used in Botswana, and that teachers lacked knowledge and skills. Nevertheless, the participants recognised the importance of AAC in enhancing the functional communication skills of the non-speaking learners with intellectual disabilities. Based on the findings recommendations are made to pave the way forward. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/532 Files in this item: 1

Nonetheless, little has been done to identify barriers to parental involvement in children's academic work and possible solutions geared towards quality education. This study therefore seeks to investigate the causes of limited parental involvement in their children's schooling and to identify strategies to help minimise these barriers and improve academic performances in primary schools. This study is a qualitative case study wherein twenty-four participants (twelve teachers and twelve parents) are interviewed. The sample was drawn from the Central North region of Botswana and covered remote, remotest, sub-urban, and urban locations. Random sampling was used to select teacher-participants while parents were identified with help of village headmen. Botswana education policies and school regulation or guideline handbooks were also examined to determine the extent to which these documents promote community involvement. The findings of this study reveal significant divergences in the responses of parents and teachers. Most of the parents, especially those in remote areas, for example indicated that they were not aware that they were supposed to offer teaching assistance services in schools. Teachers in the same areas indicated that parents were not cooperative in contributing to their children's learning. Likewise, while teachers listed examples of workshop initiatives designed to sensitise parents to the importance of being involved in their children's learning, parents said they were only called to collect children's progress reports, for Parent Teacher Association (PTA) meetings, or to be threatened about failure to pay school development and sports fees.

Abstract: In recent years, there have been a number of innovations and reforms aimed at making education relevant to the needs of the society. Despite the premium placed on education, there continue to be challenging and persistent issues negatively affecting teacher education. One of these challenges is the generalist approach of primary schools whereby teachers teach all subjects in the curriculum. This is often a departure from their pre-service training where they were trained as specialists. The purpose of this study is to establish new teachers' perspectives on the role of subject specialization in Botswana Colleges of Education and the implications of this training for the professional development of those who did not specialize in languages. This study adopted a survey research design in which questionnaires were the main data collection instrument. This study targeted two primary schools in the Southern Region with a sample of twenty (20) beginning teachers (with Diploma Certificates in primary schools). Of this sample of twenty, ten (10) completed the questionnaires. The results of this study reveal that beginning teachers advocate for specialization in primary schools because it allows them an area they can teach with confidence. These teachers raised the issue of in-service development and support as a source of information on matters pertaining to language teaching because for those who did not specialize in languages, teaching this complex subject is a challenge and can be highly demotivating.

Artist Statement
My work falls somewhere between classical and representational realism - with a touch of romanticism thrown in. I have a love for the visible and the sensory worlds and I strive to depict the beauty both in people and in everyday subjects, without idealization. Through my observations and awareness, I try to move past a static photographic interpretation and bring an energy and completeness to my compositions with a sense of order, beauty, and harmony.
My love of portraiture carries over into another one of my favorite subjects - old Hollywood.
It wasn't just the films themselves that hooked me, I've always been fascinated by the behind-the-scenes situations surrounding the filming. In a way it's like lifting a veil and getting a better look at the person behind the persona.
My Silver Screen series is both a study and a celebration of some of my favorite 20th Century films and icons.

Alive & Well's philosophy is based on us as human beings taking care of our health as well as our pets and animals by consuming whole living foods and herbs, and through the use of natural and organic products, doing regular exercise, breathing fresh air, absorbing sunshine and drinking and bathing in good clean spring water, all in the way Yahweh intended us to when He created us and the universe.
On both riverbanks will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not dry up and their fruit will not fail. There will be a different kind of fruit each month because the water flows from the sanctuary so that this fruit will be edible and the leaves will have healing properties." Ezekiel 47:12 CJB. Disclaimer: The Western Medical Field believes that Yahweh, Yeshuah and the Ruach HaKodesh, food, herbs and frequencies have nothing to do with the health of the body. Since we work with Yahweh, Yeshuah and the Ruach HaKodesh, food, herbs and frequencies, we certainly are not entering the Western Medical Field and are not practicing Western Medicine. We will not recommend drugs and will not replace the prescriber of drugs.

Do you miss old-fashioned, holiday window displays?
Revisit Marshall Field's holiday displays from the 1940s and `50s at a special, limited-time art event.
The Blutstein Brondino Fine Art Gallery will show original, vintage drawings made for the Chicago store by Johanna and Addis Osborne. The sketches provided guidance for the interior decorations and famous, themed window displays, including the Uncle Mistletoe and Aunt Holly characters that recurred for decades.
Also at "Art Exchange," which runs through Sunday, Blutstein Brondino will be selling a selection of original art by local artists Fred Stonehouse, Patrick Farrell, Marco Spalatin, Tom Uttech, Warrington Colescott and Marc Sijan, as well as pieces by Rene Magritte, Robert Rauschenberg and others.
The gallery space will be open from 11 to 5 p.m. daily through Sunday.
The Blutstein Brondino Fine Art space is in City Side Plaza, 239 E. Chicago St. in the Third Ward. Barbie Blutstein and Steve Brondino are art dealers and brokers with an interest in acquiring and offering fine art in the secondary market. For more information: (800) 737-3715 or www.blutstein-brondino.com.

No, but I miss old-fashioned Christmas window displays.
I miss the old holiday window displays, but it is impractical now because people shop at the mall or online, not along Wisconsin Avenue like they did when I was a wee lad.
Stores are smarter, too, knowing that the chances of people making a purchase are far better once they draw people inside--where it is warm, where music is playing, and where a sales associate can help the customer.
There are pros and cons to this, but in my estimation, the initial website view has become the 21st century window display.

What you're likely to find on this ridiculously garrish blog is me being an idiot, me being stupid, me being a complete moron, and fandom. And otoge. Oh, and reblogs. Everywhere. *thumbs up* And me not lamenting the fact I'm not cool, because I am okay with this.
Also,there will be a lot of IB stuff, because I was an IB Kid and this is super important information, obviously.
I'm that friendly but awkward friend in a shoujo manga. The one that everyone laughs at because they're so dumb. That is me, minus the cool bit. I'M THE COMIC RELIEEEEEEEEEEEF. Except people get annoyed. *nod nod*
Right, so other miscellaneous info:
~I'm Canadian
~I prefer gender neutral pronouns such as they/their/theirs/them, but whatever you want to use is cool, too
~I'm a gigantic geek for a variety of things; movies, video games, genres, books, etc
~I live under a rock
~Books are my lifeforce and sustenance
