Rancho Del Sol Homepage
Sorrento lemons are a medium to large varietal with a somewhat bulbous, oval shape, tapering slightly at each end. The stem end typically displays a flatter edge, while the opposite end showcases a distinct, protruding point known as a mammilla. The lemon's peel is semi-thick and glossy, covered in prominent oil glands giving the surface a textured, bumpy feel. The peel also ranges in color from yellow with faint green patches to bright golden yellow depending on maturity. Underneath the surface, there is a thick, white, and spongy pith tightly clinging to tender, aqueous, and translucent-yellow flesh. The flesh is divided into 10 to 12 segments by thin white membranes and is found seedless or containing a few cream-colored to ivory seeds. Sorrento lemons release highly fragrant essential oils from their peel, creating a refreshing, sweet, and bright aroma. The flesh is acidic and subtly sweet with a zesty, tart, and tangy flavor.
Sorrento lemons are available year-round, with a peak season in the spring through fall.
Sorrento lemons, botanically classified as Citrus limon, are an Italian variety belonging to the Rutaceae family. The fragrant lemons are native to the Sorrento Peninsula and are one of the most famous types of lemons cultivated in Southern Italy. Sorrento lemon trees fruit up to four times a year, providing year-round production, and are grown in protected terraces along coastal mountainsides. There are many different names for Sorrento lemons, depending on the region in which they are grown, but true Sorrento lemons are cultivated in a protected region on the island of Capri and the Sorrento Peninsula. Lemons produced in this small region are given an Indication of Geographic Protection, or IGP, which acknowledges that the lemons grown in this region have a distinct flavor, peel thickness, and aroma that cannot be fully replicated outside of the area. Within the Sorrento Peninsula, Sorrento lemons are also known as Ovale di Sorrento, Limone di Sorrento, Massese lemons, Massa Lubrense lemons, Limone di Massa Lubrense, and Massa lemons. Outside of the peninsula, Sorrento lemons are sometimes labeled as Femminello Ovale or Femminello Santa Teresa. In Italy, approximately 40% of the Sorrento lemons are cultivated for domestic and international fresh markets, while 60% are utilized for processed products.
Sorrento lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C to strengthen the immune system while reducing inflammation, fiber to regulate the digestive tract, and folate to develop healthy red blood cells. The lemons also provide potassium to balance fluid levels within the body, magnesium to maintain optimum nerve functioning, phosphorus and calcium to build strong bones and teeth, and other nutrients such as B vitamins, zinc, copper, and iron. In addition to vitamins and minerals, Sorrento lemons contain limonene. This natural compound provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to protect the cells from the damage caused by free radicals.
Sorrento lemons are highly acidic, providing a bright flavoring for raw and cooked preparations. The lemon's zest, rind, and juice can be incorporated into oils, vinegar, dressings, sauces, and marinades, or halves of the fruit can be squeezed directly over grain bowls, seafood, soups, curries, and stews for a pop of acidity. Sorrento lemons can also be roasted alongside meats and vegetables, sliced thinly and sprinkled with salt or sugar as a snack, layered and stuffed into poultry, or zested over pasta. It is important to note that Sorrento lemons can be used interchangeably in recipes calling for common lemons. The citrus provides a tangy, acidic taste to anything it is squeezed over, creating aromatic depth and complexity. In addition to savory preparations, Sorrento lemons can be used to flavor cakes, pies, tarts, scones, muffins, and cookies, or they can be zested over parfaits, ice cream, or sorbet. The lemons can also be simmered into preserves or custards, boiled into sugar to create a candied lemon peel, or salted and cured for extended use. Beyond culinary preparations, Sorrento lemons can be juiced and stirred into cocktails, lemonade, tea, and other sparkling beverages. Italian Sorrento Lemons pair well with other fruits such as guavas, mangoes, passion fruits, coconut, blueberries, and apples, herbs including mint, sage, oregano, rosemary, and basil, and seafood such as octopus, shrimp, and fish. Whole, unwashed Sorrento lemons will keep 7 to 10 days at room temperature or 3 to 4 weeks when stored in the refrigerator.
Sorrento lemons are most popularly used in the production of limoncello. The exact history of limoncello is unknown, as several different legends are being touted as the true history throughout the various production regions of Sorrento, Capri, and Amalfi. The refreshing beverage has been made in Italy for at least 100 years and is a customary drink to serve to house guests. Around 60% of all cultivated Sorrento lemons in Italy are reserved for making the sweet Italian liqueur. Authentic limoncello is produced from the peel of Sorrento lemons grown on farms on the island of Capri and in a region between Massa Lubrense and Vico Equense, two Italian coastal towns approximately 25 minutes apart on the Sorrento Peninsula. The lemons are traditionally hand-harvested to prevent the fruits from touching the ground, and the most aromatic lemons are selected for the beverage creation. Limoncello is made from lemon zest or pieces of the thick rind combined with sugar, alcohol, and water. It takes approximately 80 days for the drink to be ready for consumption, and in Italy, limoncello is served cold as an after-dinner digestif or between-course aperitif. In Sorrento, Limoncello is crafted by local artisans and is also made in home kitchens from home-grown lemons. Limoncello is customarily a small-batch creation, and the drink will vary in flavor, color, and aroma depending on the region and lemons used.
Sorrento lemons are native to the Sorrento Peninsula, a region in Southern Italy situated between the Gulf of Salerno and the Gulf of Naples and the nearby island of Capri, located south of Naples in the western part of Campania. The variety was believed to have been a spontaneous mutation found on a femminello lemon tree near Sorrento sometime during the 16th century. Experts note that lemons came to Italy via travelers along the Silk Road, though some believe Jewish immigrants first brought them to the area in the 1st century CE. Roman settlers also arrived in the area and began cultivating the lemons, documenting the citrus in paintings and mosaics in Pompeii and Herculaneum. These lemon varieties were thought to have been the early ancestors of Sorrento lemons. Later in the 17th century, Jesuit Fathers began cultivating lemons in the Sorrento area and created some of the first commercial groves. The Sorrento Peninsula is comprised of rocky coastline and mountainous regions that receive ample amounts of sunshine, developing a unique microclimate suitable for citrus cultivation. There is also a lack of available land for citrus production, leading many farms to use the natural contours of the mountains to build terraces suitable for small agricultural plots. These terraces often include walled plots and updated pagliarelles, a structural system once made from chestnut wood that provides controlled temperature, shade, and protection from harmful elements and pests. In the early 2000s, Sorrento lemons earned their own Indication of Geographic Protection or IGP, and, through a dedicated consortium, are protected and marketed. Today Sorrento lemons are almost exclusively grown by small family farms in Capri and the Sorrento Peninsula, especially in Massa Lubrense, Vico Equense, Meta, Sant'Agnello, and Piano di Sorrento, and sold through local markets and a few select distributors. The lemons are also exported to England, Germany, and other European markets. Outside of Italy, Sorrento lemons are grown in limited quantities in California.

Women In Indian Armed Forces Breaking The Glass Ceiling
Akanksha Narang | &nbspAug 26, 2022
There have been two starkly opposing views about women serving in combat roles in the Indian armed forces. One section believes that women should have equal access to combat roles, irrespective of gender. Another section says putting women in such roles in the Indian army can be detrimental for the women themselves, as they would face even worse consequences if captured.
Having said that, the more progressive section that has been advocating the inclusion of women in the Indian army claims women should have the autonomy to make that choice for themselves. Inclusion and fair training enable women to do just as well in the armed forces as men.
History of women in the armed forces
The induction of women in the Indian Armed Forces goes back to 1888, as women took up nursing roles during the first world war. It was then that due to their impressive job performance, the Indian army was convinced that women should be included. This led to the formation of the Women's Auxilliary Corps which enabled women to serve in non-combat positions.
Noor Inayat Khan was one woman who is still remembered for her incredible service during the second world war. However, while the British Indian Army promoted the inclusion of women in the army, it was limited to non-combat roles. It was during the battle with the Imperial Japanese Army that women in the Rani of Jhansi Regiment were seen fighting in combat roles.
Contemporary trends and gender inclusivity
In 2021, the Indian military saw a threefold increase in the inclusion of women in the armed forces. Despite that, according to Hindustan Times, women still form a very small percentage of the Indian military: 0.56% of the army, 1.08% of the air force and 6.5% of the navy.
It was the year 2015 when things started improving with regard to the inclusion of women in the Indian armed forces. That was the first time, the Indian Air Force included women in the fighter wing, followed by the Indian navy inducting women too.
In 2020, the Indian government granted a permanent commission to women officers in several streams: Army Air Defence (AAD), Signals, Engineers, Army Aviation, Electronics and Mechanical Engineers (EME), Army Service Corps (ASC), Army Ordnance Corps (AOC), and Intelligence Corps. This is apart from existing streams of Judge and Advocate General (JAG) and Army Educational Corps (AEC).
The same year, around 70 per cent of female officers were considered for permanent commission in the Indian Army.
Supreme court in encouraging women's participation in the armed forces
In March 2020, the Supreme Court of India passed a milestone judgement: "Induct women officers in all types of warships in the Indian Navy, as a natural process of societal evolution, the possible induction of women into combat arms is going to be the next challenge, which Indian Military will be confronted with. The leadership in combat arms at each level, from detachment to highest formation, is laid on a bedrock principle of 'Leading from the front' which must not be compromised."
Major General S B Asthana said, "If every other combat arms officer has to go through Commando/Counterinsurgency/Mountain warfare course and serve in Rashtriya Rifle or Assam Rifle for at least one tenure, the same yardstick must apply to women officers."
The decision to allow the induction of women into the National Defence Academy is seen as the first step in establishing gender equality in the Indian armed forces.
Indian women in the army who defied the odds
Punita Arora
Arora is the first Indian woman to be appointed as Lieutenant General of the Indian Armed Forces, as well as Vice-Admiral of the Indian Navy. She has helped with medical research for the armed forces as the additional director-general of Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS).
Padmavathy Bandopadhyay
She was the first female Air Marshal of the Indian Air Force. She was also the first woman to complete her Defence Service Staff College course in 1978. Apart from that, she was also the first woman to become an aviation medicine specialist and conduct research at the North Pole, and be promoted as Air Vice Marshal.
Mitali Madhumita
Lieutenant Colonel Mitali Madhumita is India's first woman officer to receive the Sena Medal for gallantry. She was also the first officer to reach the Indian embassy in Kabul when it was attacked by suicide bombers. Unarmed, she still ran close to the danger zone, saving 19 officers who were buried under the wreckage.
Priya Jhingan
She was the first woman cadet in India to join the army. In 1992, she wrote a letter to the Army Chief asking him to allow women to join the army. One year after that, Jhingan and 24 other women were recruited.
Names like Anjana Bhaduria, Divya Ajith Kumar, Priya Semwal, Sophia Qureshi and more also deserve the utmost respect for their work in the Indian Armed Forces, as well as many other women giving their all.
Times are changing and India is understanding that women are equally capable of serving in the army. We look forward to more equality in the recruitment process.
Are women allowed in combat roles in the Indian Army?
Yes, women are allowed.
Who was the first female cadet to join the Indian Army?

Rangers hopeful that Tortorella can get the most out of Wolski
Thursday, January 13, 2011 / by William DePaoli / / Glen Sather, Michal Rozsival, new york rangers, NHL, phoenix coyotes
D-Men McCabe, Tyutin on Rangers radar Just passed the halfway mark, the New York Rangers (25-16-3, 53pts) have emerged as a surprising contender in the Atlantic Division. New York is just five points behind 2nd place Pittsburgh (27-14-4, 58ts) and six points behind first place Philadelphia (26-10-5, 57pts) Under head coach John Tortorella, the Rangers have emerged as one of the best defensive teams in the NHL, ranking 6th at 2.46 goals against per game. Tortorella has done an excellent job getting the most out of his squad that includes a young inexperience blueline but there's no way around it that the Rangers lack the kind of fire power to in the long run, compete with the likes of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

Angus Houston AC AFC (Ret'd)
Military Leader
ACTState RecipientAustralian of the Year2012
Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston is a towering figure in Australian public life. In 2001 he was appointed Chief of Air Force and four years later was promoted to the pinnacle of the military hierarchy, Chief of the Defence Force. Until his retirement in 2011, Angus inspired those under his command with his unswerving diligence, honesty and integrity – the phrase 'an officer and a gentleman' is synonymous with Angus Houston. At 21, he migrated to Australia from Scotland, joining the Royal Australian Air Force in 1970. Ten years later, as a helicopter pilot, Angus won the Air Force Cross for winching three shipwrecked sailors from wild seas off the NSW coast. As Chief of the Defence Force, he oversaw Australia's challenging military operations in East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan. The tragic realities of war were part of his life. It was he who fronted the media whenever an Australian fatality occured. His sincerity and humanity were always evident. His legacy includes improved control and command systems, a better understanding of service men and women suffering mental illness and the rehabilitation of ADF casualties for them to continue serving in the defence force.

Critic Reviews of "Legacies - Season 1"
This is a supernatural "Riverdale" - which might be redundant, given the direction of that show this season. But after two series, the magic is thin and your interest may wane like the moonlight.
You'll have little idea of what the show looks like, beyond the vague sense that attractive 20-somethings playing teenagers will make out a lot.
Legacies must be given credit for boldly confronting the bigoted myths about lycanthrope/Wiccan miscegenation.
Legacies isn't good enough for me to recommend to a viewer starting here from scratch, but it moves at a brisk clip and has the general feel familiar to fans of this storytelling world and there's reliable comfort in that.
Legacies is for anyone interested in supernatural high school drama. And the nostalgic setting and fun easter eggs for fans of the TVD universe are just the cherries on top.

Browning Park is a park in Moline, Illinois, United States, located at 16th Street and 23rd Avenue. Browning Field has been the home of high school and professional athletic events since 1910. It has hosted athletes such as Babe Ruth and Red Grange.

Origin and History
John T. Browning (1830–1910) was a lawyer who served as the City of Moline's first City Attorney. He was also a two-term State Assemblyman. In his last year of his life, Browning was planning on erecting a memorial to himself on the farmland that he owned when he was convinced by A. M. Beal, President of the Moline Board of Education, to deed the land to the city for use as an athletic park. On July 14, 1910, he added the codicil to his will, stating that his land were to be "held in trust forever by the City of Moline and dedicated to the public as and for a playground and athletic park, which shall be known and designated as the John T. Browning Park, Playground, and Athletic Field".

The land is deeded to the city of Moline for use as a "playground and athletic park". While the sports teams of Moline High School have been the primary tenants of the field (and the adjoining Wharton Field House), the Rock Island Independents, the only professional American football team to be charter members of two major leagues, called Browning Park its home in the 1920s, as did the minor league baseball Moline Plowboys.

The facility opened on Oct. 5, 1912. Moline High School defeated Maquoketa 34–0 in a football game, the first event at John T. Browning Park.

The next four years saw the creation of an American football/track and field stadium and a baseball field. In the late 1920s, T. F. Wharton, president of the Moline High School boosters' club led the drive toward the sale of bonds, the proceeds of which to pay for the construction of a field house on adjoining land (this was also deeded to the city of Moline upon the retirement of the bonds). Wharton Field House was opened to the public in 1928.

Moline Plowboys History
Moline first gained a minor league franchise in July, 1914 when the Danville Speakers relocated and the Moline Plowboys were established. The "Plowboys" name reflected Moline's agricultural production history. Companies such as John Deere, Moline Plow Company, and Minneapolis-Moline were located in Moline. The Plowboys initially played at Athletic Park, before moving to Browning Field in 1920. The Plowboys won Three-I League Championships at Browning in 1921 and 1937. The franchise was an affiliate of the Detroit Tigers (1932), Chicago Cubs (1937–40) and Philadelphia A's(1947–48).  From 1920 to 1922, the Plowboys were managed by player-manager Earle Mack, son of legendary Hall of Fame owner/manager Connie Mack. Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Warren Giles, future President of the National League (1951-1969), was President of the Plowboys Franchise from 1919 to 1922.

Browning Field served as the home of the  Plowboys from 1920 to 1948. The 5,600 capacity baseball park had dimensions of (LF-CF-RF) 550-440-377. The first night game at the park was July 11, 1930.

Professional Football
In 1926, the Rock Island Independents played at Browning Field. The Independents had been a charter member franchise of the National Football League, playing in the league from 1920 to 1925 against the likes of the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers and Chicago Cardinals. However, the Independents left the NFL and Douglas Park, moving to Browning Field and playing in the new, but short lived American Football League. On October 3, 1926, the Independents hosted the football New York Yankees and their star player Pro Football Hall of Fame legend Red Grange, losing 26–0 with a home crowd of 5,000. The AFL and the Independents folded after the 1926 season.

Major League Baseball Events
In an exhibition game on April 12, 1920, the Plowboys defeated the Chicago White Sox 7–1 at Browning Field.

On April 14, 1938, the Chicago Cubs Played an exhibition at Browning Field against the Plowboys.

Babe Ruth appeared at Browning Field on June 26, 1940. 2,600 fans showed for a Plowboys exhibition game starring Ruth and to watch Ruth put on a batting practice exhibition.

Businessman Mr Phillip Chiyangwa is embroiled in a messy divorce in which his wife of 25 years is claiming 85 percent of the couple's wealth and US$83 000 per month for 120 months as maintenance after the termination of the marriage. Mrs Elizabeth Chiyangwa (nee Juma) says her husband was now associating with several other women and that their marriage had irretrievably broken down.
Her lawyer Advocate Isaiah Mureriwa of Scanlen and Holderness, filed the divorce papers on at the High Court on Monday.
Mrs Chiyangwa is seeking a decree of divorce, an order for property sharing in which she claims 85 percent and monthly maintenance in the sum of US$83 000 for a period of 120 months.
Among the listed properties believed to be part of Mr Chiyangwa's empire include 60 hectares of land in the Grange (Harare), Stoneridge Farm measuring 586 hectares, six hectares of land in Harare, Lot 3 of Delnadamph Estate measuring 5 hectares, Stand 65 Colne Valley Township 5 of Lot 7A measuring 7 hectares, Stand 389 Derbyshire Township measuring 25 hectares, a piece of land in Zvimba measuring 1 331 hectares, piece of land in Shortson Harare measuring 72 hectares, part of Sangwe Farm in Chinhoyi measuring 845 hectares, 2 812 hectares of land at Olympus Farm in Chinhoyi, 4 060 hectares at Old Citrus Farm in Chinhoyi, 1 416 hectares at Strathcona Farm, Chinhoyi, 600 hectares at North Umzari Farm, urban residential stands throughout the country, a fleet of top of the range vehicles and 40 companies.
Mrs Chiyangwa claims during the subsistence of their marriage, they acquired 109 stands, plots and structures and a host of other properties.
In the plaintiff's declaration forming part of the application, Mrs Chiyangwa said she married Mr Chiyangwa in 1986 but their marriage was solemnised under Chapter 5:11 of the Marriages Act on November 11 1988.
The parties have two daughters Ellen Vanessa (born 1986) and Mitchelle Martha (born 1989).
Mrs Chiyangwa claims the marriage had irretrievably broken down.
"The defendant (Mr Chiyangwa) has improperly associated himself with several other women sexually.
"The defendant continues with such conduct such that the plaintiff finds his continued behaviour irreconcilable with a continued marital relationship between her and the defendant.
"The defendant continuously neglects, emotionally and physically, abuses the plaintiff in a manner inconsistent with a normal marital relationship.
"The abuse is to the extent that the plaintiff lives in constant fear of the defendant and her continued living with him is out of submission as opposed to consent, a situation incompatible with a normal marital relationship.
"The defendant has successfully alienated his love for the plaintiff to other several women to the extent that the plaintiff regards as irreconcilable with a continued marital relationship.
"As a result of the conducts and behaviours mentioned above, the plaintiff has consequently lost all trust, faith, love and affection for the defendant to the extent that she desires to have this marriage dissolved," read the declaration.
Mrs Chiyangwa said the properties she listed were acquired by the couple over the years but registered in Mr Chiyangwa's name or names of some companies linked to him.
She wants the court to appoint an independent professional auditor to determine the exact extent and particulars of the estate acquired by the parties during the subsistence of the marriage and compile an inventory of the properties.
An independent evaluator, Mrs Chiyangwa says, should be appointed by the registrar of the High Court to evaluate the properties in the inventory to be compiled by the auditors.
Mrs Chiyangwa says the parties involved in the divorce should equally pay the appointed evaluator and forensic auditor.
She wants 85 percent of the property.
Married life got off to a rocky start for one couple when the groom's pregnant mistress turned up at the reception intent on starting a fight.
The uninvited guest, who was dressed for the occasion in her own wedding outfit and reportedly drunk, wrestled the bride to the ground as the groom attempted to pull them apart.
'You didn't have an abortion while you could and now you come here with your big stomach,' the bride apparently shouts at the woman in the video.
FORMER British Prime Minister Tony Blair leaned on South Africa to back a plot for a military invasion of Zimbabwe and topple President Mugabe from power, former President Thabo Mbeki has revealed. Mr Mbeki made the revelations on a televised programme on AljazeeraTV on Saturday, saying the British wanted to replace President Mugabe with MDC-T leader Mr Morgan Tsvangirai.
The British Government has been sponsoring the MDC-T since its formation in 1999 to effect regime change in Zimbabwe, but the plan has come to grief.
Speaking on Talk to Aljazeera, the former South African President said: "There is a retired chief of the British Armed Forces who said he had to withstand pressure from then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair who was saying to the chief of the British Armed Forces 'you must work out a military plan so that we can physically remove Robert Mugabe'.
Mr Mbeki, who facilitated inter-party talks that led to the formation of the now defunct inclusive Government made up of Zanu-PF and the MDC formations in 2008, took a swipe at the West for interfering in the domestic affairs of sovereign nations, particularly in Africa and the Middle East in a bid to install puppet regimes.
"You're coming from London, I don't like President Mugabe for whatever reason, people in London don't like him…you are going to remove him, it means you are going to put somebody else in his place. Why does it become a British responsibility to decide who leads the people of Zimbabwe?" he said.
"We were saying no. Let Zimbabweans sit down. Let them agree what they do with their country. Our task is to make sure we stay with them. We work with them.
Mr Mbeki said the Syrian crisis and other similar global conflicts could only be resolved through negotiated settlements as opposed to the West's regime change template.
He said the West believes that the Syrian crisis could only be resolved by removing the Government of President Bashar Assad and warned such an approach was bound to fail.
Political analyst and Midlands State University lecturer Mr Christopher Gwatidzo yesterday said Mr Mbeki must be applauded by all Zimbabweans for his Pan Africanist values and urged the country to remain vigilant as the West still harbours intentions to effect illegal regime change.
"We must applaud the stance taken by President Mbeki," he said. "It shows his commitment to Pan Africanism. If he was some other weak African president who is not principled, he would not have behaved like that.
University of Zimbabwe lecturer Dr Charity Manyeruke said Mr Mbeki's stance must be a lesson to other African leaders within and outside the region.
"We commend what President Mbeki has done," she said. "That is what we expect presidents from countries like Botswana to do. That is what we expect even South African President Jacob Zuma to do. We want to know what has been happening all along behind the closed doors.
"Behind the closed doors are big regime change agendas.
Dr Manyeruke said the West wanted to re-colonise Africa by installing puppet governments as evidenced by its funding of non-governmental organisations and some political parties in the country.
Xenophobia attacks have started again in South Africa, Zimbabweans were attacked !!!!
Xenophobia motivated attacks have resurfaced in Liphalale town in South Africa's Limpopo province where five shops, two houses and two vehicles belonging to Zimbabweans were burnt on Thursday night.
The incident has raised fears of the return of the chaotic situation where 62 foreigners were brutally killed and thousands others displaced during similar attacks in May 2008.
Sources in the coal mining town of Liphalale said tensions were still high in Maropong suburb yesterday amid reports that the locals were planning another onslaught on Zimbabweans.
Tensions had been high since April 16 when a number of Zimbabweans living in the area were attacked by South Africans.
The volatile situation in Liphalale has forced Zimbabweans living in that area to form a committee to engage the local community and policy makers on the repeated attacks.
The committee's organising secretary Mr Jefta Mararike, who is also a victim of the attacks, said in a telephone interview yesterday that the situation was still tense.
"We are living under constant fear," he said. "You will note that this is a second incident following the burning down of five shops belonging to Zimbabweans in May this year. However, no people were injured in both incidents.
Mr Mararike said they had since notified the Zimbabwean Embassy in that country about the incident and urged the South African police to prevent such attacks.
He said despite getting assurance from the police and residents that they would live in peace, Zimbabweans in the area were on high alert for imminent attacks.
Some living in the town, Mr Mararike said, had started relocating to other towns in fear for their lives.
"The police have promised to act on the matter though they seem too reluctant to take any meaningful action," he said.
Mr Mararike said among the vehicles that were burnt were a Ford Bantam and a Nissan pick-up belonging to a Zimbabwean businessman.
A Liphalale police spokesperson who identified himself only as Warrant Officer Mokoena said he could not answer questions from The Herald yesterday.
Zimbabwe's Consular General to South Africa Mr Godfrey Magwenzi said in a telephone interview that he was still assessing the situation together with South African police.
Zimbabweans living in South Africa, especially Limpopo and Gauteng provinces have been on the receiving end of xenophobia motivated attacks.
In May, five shops belonging to Zimbabweans were razed down to ashes by a mob in Marapong suburb in the same town.
It has since been established that the Liphalale Business Forum which operates small to medium enterprises is behind the onslaught on Zimbabweans whom they accuse of putting them out of business and of fanning crime in the area.
In June 2011, hundreds of Zimbabweans living in Seshego Township in Polokwane City were left homeless following similar attacks by a mob which also fatally stoned one of them.
In May, two Zimbabwean artists were shot dead by a Somali businessman in Diepsloot suburb, Johannesburg area.
A cheeky 31-year-old Harare woman has been arrested and charged for allegedly scalding her husband on the face and chest with a burning paraffin stove.
Mbare magistrate, Ms Shelly Zvenyika this week slapped Serah Yoko Musiiwa with a 20-day prison sentence with an option of US$50 fine for scalding her husband, Evidence Wilson Sithole (35), who had caught her walking with a boyfriend.
She was convicted for aggravated battery with great bodily harm in connection with the incident.
The prosecutor Tendayi Shonhayi told the court that on October 12, Musiiwa of number 10912 in Kuwadzana Extension was coming from the shops with an unidentified man when she bumped into her husband.
The husband who was acting on a tip off, intercepted the duo and questioned her wife who failed to give a satisfactory answer about the "strange man" she was walking with.
An argument erupted between the couple leading to a fist fight between the two men. As the fight raged on, Musiiwa fled from the scene. The boyfriend later fled the scene after being beaten by Sithole.
When Sithole went home, he had another altercation with his wife whom he poked on the forehead accusing her of cheating. This angered Musiiwa who picked up a burning paraffin stove and hurled it onto her husband who sustained serious burns on the face, chest, hands and a deep cut on the waist.
The couple's two-year old baby was also burnt during the incident. Sithole later reported the case to the police leading to the arrest of his wife.
At least eleven people have been killed after a bus collided with another vehicle on the N1 near Makhado in Limpopo.
The bus was apparently overtaking a car, when it crashed head-on into the vehicle.
Both the drivers of the bus and the car are among the dead.
Limpopo Roads and Transport spokesperson Jimmy Machaka said the Gudwil Luxury Coaches bus involved in the accident was ferrying passengers from Johannesburg to Harare.
The Gudwil Luxury Coaches bus that was involved in an accident on the N1 near Makhado, Limpompo, on November 22, 2013.
"The accident occurred around 2am. We don't know where it was heading but we can confirm that it came from Johannesburg. Paramedics are still clearing the scene. Only one lane is operating but is moving very slow," said Machaka.
"I can't comment much about the incident because we are still rushing to the scene. But obviously we are saddened by the report," said Gudis.
Gudis confirmed that the bus had left at 7.30pm Johannesburg on Thursday and it was heading to Harare.
The accident comes less than two weeks after the Moloto bus crash.
30 people were killed when a when a Putco bus collided with another vehicle on the notorious road.
Doctors have increased medical consultation fees by more than 100 percent from US$20 to US$50, while specialists are now charging up to US$120 from US$60, threatening the existence of medical aid societies which cannot cope with the increases. This has resulted in increased cases of patients on medical aid paying either a co-payment or incurring a shortfall after receiving treatment, affecting their access to health care.
Health and Child Care Minister Dr David Parirenyatwa yesterday said the practitioners should wait for a gazetted tariff which is coming soon.
He said those increasing the tariffs were taking advantage of the absence of an agreed tariff.
Of late, medical aid societies and service providers were failing to come up with a common tariff that ensures people on medical aid access treatment without paying a co-payment or a shortfall.
"A lot of work with regards to medical tariffs have been done already and very soon we would be gazetting the new tariffs," he said.
Minister Parirenyatwa said the new tariff would be favourable to both the practitioners and the medical aid societies.
Separate interviews conducted by The Herald yesterday showed that individual doctors were increasing tariffs without considering the plight of their patients.
Zimbabwe Medical Association chairman of the national tariff liaison committee Mr Chad Tarumbwa confirmed the increases, saying the tariffs were actually set in April.
"You will realise that very few practitioners are charging that amount because they fear that medical aid societies will withdraw their members to their own clinics," he said.
Mr Tarumbwa said ZiMA actually wanted the general practitioners to charge US$60 for the first visit and then US$40 for a review.
He claimed that the increases were necessitated by the increase in cost of living, but this is despite that official statistics show that inflation has remained low in the past four years, being recorded at 0,59 percent in October.
Mr Tarumbwa said the Association of Healthcare Funders of Zimbabwe (AHFoZ), an organisation for medical aid societies, wanted the tariffs to remain at US$20, but that had resulted in co-payments and shortfalls because of the increase in charges.
He said all along doctors and hospitals were guided by tariffs set by ZiMA at US$50 for consultation, while medical aid societies followed tariffs set by the AHFoz which were at US$20.
This meant that there was disagreement between the two bodies on the actual tariffs.
Although no official comment could be immediately obtained from AHFoZ yesterday, some medical aid societies insist that employees' salaries were still too low to cater for an increase in tariffs.
They said they would have no choice but to increase the contributions if the doctors did not rescind the tariff increase.
This would add more burden to workers who are already failing to make ends meet in a country plagued by a liquidity crunch.
An official at Premier Service Medical Aid Society said the practitioners should reverse the increases.
"Charges by surgeons on procedures are exorbitant compared to other countries in the region," said the PSMAS official.
PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe has reportedly flexed his muscles by ordering cancellation of Zanu PF provincial polls and called for an extraordinary politburo meeting to discuss widening fissures in the ruling party.
The divisions became apparent last week over the results of provincial polls held in Mashonaland Central recently. Party insiders yesterday said Mugabe — who is currently out of the country — had instructed Zanu PF heavyweights to postpone the polls and called a meeting to quell infighting in the party over his successor.
"The President phoned the senior party officials instructing them to postpone the elections to a later date," a top Zanu PF official who declined to be named said.
However, Zanu PF secretary for administration Didymus Mutasa refused to comment over the matter yesterday referring NewsDay to party national chairman Simon Khaya Moyo.
Party spokesperson Rugare Gumbo also refused to shed light on reasons for the postponement or whether it was the President's directive, referring questions to Khaya Moyo.The fights were pitting Vice- President Joice Mujuru and Justice minister Emmerson Mnangagwa who reportedly lead the two factions angling to succeed Mugabe. The two have, however, denied harbouring presidential ambitions. There was a public spat last week after Gumbo announced that Luke Mushore had won the Mashonaland Central chairmanship ahead of incumbent Dickson Mafios although five districts had not yet voted.
But Mugabe's spokesperson George Charamba the following day said the poll results would only become official after endorsement by the politburo.
"(The) politburo has not as yet received results from Mashonaland Central province. Equally, the politburo is still to receive a report which accompanies the same," Charamba told the media.
"It is only when the politburo has been favoured with both the results and the accompanying report that it is in a position to study both before taking a decision." Charamba's response angered Mutasa, who then chastised him saying he had no authority to comment about party issues.The provincial elections were important in the race to succeed 89-year-old Mugabe — who has said he will serve his full five-year term after his resounding victory over MDC-T's Morgan Tsvangirai in the July 31 elections.
The ruling party is set to hold its national conference next month.
A 16-year-old Zimbabwean boy plummeted to his death from a sixth-floor window in Johannesburg after he was allegedly found undressed in bed with another man's wife.
Now police are investigating whether Nyasha Johwa jumped or was pushed out of a window of a nine-floor building in Claim Street, Hillbrow, on Tuesday. It is believed that in the early hours of the morning, the teen was allegedly let into the flat by his lover.
"It was around 9.30 (in the morning). I was bathing, and suddenly I heard a woman screaming and thudding noises," said a visibly shaken Juliet Ndebele, who shared a flat with the woman.
She also heard a man's voice. It was the woman's husband. Ndebele had seen him at the flat on a few occasions, so she recognised his voice. The couple, said Ndebele, were parents to a 13-year-old boy.
She heard him shouting "S'febe uyajola! (wh**e, you're cheating on me)".
"That's when I dressed and came out quickly. I saw her leaning out the window, screaming 'He fell! He's dead!'."
Ndebele said the distraught woman then threatened to throw herself out of the window as well.
"I told her not to do it," she said, "then I looked out the window to see what she was talking about and I saw him laying there undressed."
Ndebele said she had not seen the boy in the flat prior to the tragedy and only saw him when he was lying face-up on the landing at The Lloyd.
Pulling aside the red curtain, Ndebele shook her head at the gruesome recollection. When The Star spoke to Ndebele a few hours after the incident, it was clear that the memory still haunted her. "I can't eat and I feel weak. My heart was broken because he's so young."
Getrude Sibanda, who owns the flat, said the woman had been living there since the beginning of the month.
"She said she just needed to stay here for a month to get her affairs in order and would move out at the end of November."
"His (Johwa's) brother was here to fetch the boy's clothes but could only find his denim shorts and sneakers."
The teenager's brother, John, 24, said his brother had stopped going to school last year and was working at a club in Sunninghill. He was not sure what he did there.
"I have managed to contact our family in Zimbabwe to tell them but I don't know how they're feeling," he said.
"I just have no strength."
The police have arrested the husband, who can't be named until he appears in court.
He is facing charges of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. It is believed that during Tuesday's fight, he beat up his wife.
"We have opened an inquest docket because we don't know if it's murder or whether he jumped," said police spokeswoman Constable Carol Mulamu. On Tuesday night, the husband was being held at Hillbrow police station. The woman is not in custody.
ZIMBABWE is seeking $10 billion bailout from China to kick start the economy which is comatose following the re-election of President Robert Mugabe in July 31.
The country, whose economy is stagnant, desperately needs white knights to rescue the economy which is in a tail spin.
Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa was scheduled to visit China month end to seal a $10bn financial rescue package for Zimbabwe that Zanu PF believes will kick start the economy.
Although Chinamasa was not immediately available for comment yesterday, sources said the China $10bn rescue package was a done deal.
Zimbabwe has mortgaged its mineral resources particularly Chiadzwa Diamond fields as part of the deal to secure $10bn deal from China.
On Friday Chinamasa, Foreign Affairs minister Simbarashe Mbengegwi and Media, Information and Broadcasting Services minister Jonathan Moyo met regional and international diplomats as part of efforts to re-engage the international community to rescue the country. But sources said the China sojourn was deemed the panacea to the country's economic quagmire.
China, the country's all-weather friend, has become one of the country's biggest trading partners after the government adopted the Look East policy.
Zimbabwe and the China Export and Import Bank last week signed a $319 million loan agreement for the expansion of Kariba South hydro-power project expected to go a long way in addressing the plethora of economic challenges besetting the country.
Under this arrangement, the bank will provide funding amounting to $319,5m - representing 90% of the total project cost, while the government, through the Zimbabwe Power Company will finance the 10% balance amounting to $35,4 million.
The project is expected to add 300 megawatts (MW) to the national grid, a development set to ease power outages which have largely been blamed for industry's poor performance evidenced by closure of an estimated 711 companies nationwide this year.
Zimbabwe's electricity generation capacity is estimated at 1 200MW against a peak demand of over 2 200MW and the country has been battling to attract foreign funding into the energy sector for long.
This has largely been due to ballooning external debt estimated at $11 billion, policy misalignments - chiefly the indigenisation law which calls for foreign companies to cede 51% of their shareholding to locals.
However, the government has of late been relaxing the implementation of the policy as the pressure to attract investment and salvage the ailing economy continues to mount.
A Domboshava woman, Kudzai Mautsahuku (21), lost two teeth during a beating from her husband, David Sinaro (28) for giving birth to a disabled baby.
The baby, Blessed, was born with both legs bent, facing upwards from the knees.
Blessed has had a plaster put on to help correct the condition.
Kudzai claims that her husband made her go to her parents' home and would not send her money while she was pregnant.
"Murume wangu akatondimanikidza kuenda kumusha achida kusara achiita zvekunzungu nekunyimo. Hapana kana mari yaaitumira kusvika pakubatsirwa mwana (umkami wathi ngiye kithi esithi ufuna ukusala ebambabamba, akula mali angithumela yona ngaze ngabeletha lumntwana)," she said.
She adds that her husband did not contribute to her hospital fees and her parents had to pay until they felt they had had enough.
They then asked her to go back to her husband in Harare but when she got there, she found him already living with another woman who was already pregnant.
He told her that the woman, Memory Muoni, was his friend and asked his wife to leave saying a child with feet facing upwards was not his.
David insisted that his lady friend was not going to leave and he even attempted to remove the plaster from the child's legs, saying there was nothing he could do with a disabled child.
"Ndipo paakandirova nezvibhakera ndokubva andibvisa mazino maviri ekumatadza achiti hakuna kunoenda shamwarikadzi yake uye aizobuda mumba ndini. Akabata mwana achida kumubvisa purasita mumakumbo achiti chirema anochidii (Yikho lapho angitshaya khona ngezibhakela ngakhumuka amazinyo amabili, wathi isikomba sakhe kasiyindawo ongaphuma endlini yimina. Wabamba umntwana efuna ukukhumula iplasta enyaweni esithi isigoga uyasithini)."
"Akandirova ndakabereka mwana achindisandudzira kumadziro emba achiti, 'Nhasi unofira mumawoko angu, buda nechirema chako uende nacho kuna baba vake, ini handisi. Handizvarise zvirema, enda kune akakupa mwana iyeye." (Wangimukula ngibelethe umntwana engifuqela emdulini esithi, "Lamuhla uzafela ezandleni zami, phuma lesigoga sakho uye kuyise, mina kangisuye. Kangizalisi izigoga, hamba kulowo owakuzalisa umntwana yenalo."
Kudzai said that she could not understand her husband's actions considering that he was also born with his feet facing upwards like the child and he walks with a limp because his feet are not the same length.
David refused to sleep in the same bed as his wife and she says that he would bring different women every night.
Kudzai decided to report the matter to the police after the bleeding would not stop and David spent four nights in jail.
She says she dropped the case after she realised that she was going to struggle on her own.
When questioned, David said that he only hit his wife after she tried to stab his pregnant lady friend.
"Ndakamukwidibira mbama ndakurirwa nehasha nekuti akanga ava kuda kubaya Memory nebanga nekusanzwisisa kuti zvaiva zvatoitika sezvo Memory airambira mumba - akanditevera (Memory) achiti haana kwaaienda nenhumbu yangu (Ngam'hlakaza ngempama sengifikelwe lulaka ngoba wayesefuna ukugwaza uMemory ngomsense ngokungazwisisi ukuthi kwasokwenzakele njengoba u Memory wayesalela endlini - wangilandela (uMemory) esithi kayindawo lesisu sami)," said David.
He admits that Memory is expecting his child and he wants Kudzai to understand that he loves them both.
The horrid things he said about his child's disability were out of anger even though he had suffered from the same condition as a baby.


"Weed has been in my life in one form or another since I was a kid,"
"Weed has been in my life in one form or another since I was a kid," says Scott Campbell, tattoo artist and co-founder of Beboe, the cannabis brand whose chic rose gold vape has become a status symbol among celebrities, A-listers and anyone who likes their THC with a dose of aesthetics. "My mother battled cancer for most of my childhood, and after eight years of chemotherapy and radiation treatments, it got the best of her. My grandmother Be Boe would come stay with us and help out whenever mom was having tough times. She would always bring mom her special brownies."
Now, at Beboe's one year mark, Campbell and co-founder Clement Kwan are looking forward. As elevated, highly-branded cannabis companies are coming out of the woodwork, the pair is staying ahead through unique collaborations and highly customized product. Its most recent partnership, a CBD-infused drink with wellness brand Dirty Lemon, has CBD fans coveting the drink's healing, anxiety-reducing vibes. Beboe also launched an assortment of pastilles in a cute, millennial pink tin for easy on-the-go micro-dosing. Here, the founders reminisce on the why behind Beboe, as well as their preferences for consuming and what's next for the brand.
What was the void in the cannabis market you wanted to fill?
Scott Campbell: Nothing on the shelves addressed our own needs. Anything well designed is designed selfishly, to address one's own needs rather than trying to predict what a market will respond to. I'm incredibly discriminating about what I eat and put in my body, so it needs to start with the best quality plants possible, no pesticides or fungicides, and then processed in a way that is as gentle and respectful to the plant as possible. Basically the organic cold-pressed juice of weed. I'm also harsh in how I judge the aesthetics of products, so it's important that the product looks and feels deliberate and well thought out. Especially with something like legal cannabis, which many people are discovering for the first time, it's important that the product is presented well. It's a sort of vetting process.
How has the company evolved or shifted since you started? Did you expect one thing? Did it morph into something else?
Clement Kwan: As with any child, you always hope and imagine that they will grow strong and unhindered, but we are nevertheless caught off guard when we turn around one day and they're adults. Obviously we wanted Beboe to grow, but this industry has had, and still has so many uncertainties. We are just trying to stay aware and humble and course correct as best we can. We love weed, and we love what we make, and the most exciting part is watching people get excited and enamored with all the complexities of weed as we teach them more about it.
What have been some surprises in building a cannabis brand?
CK: Well, it's been pretty surprising how many regulations there are to navigate when a substance becomes deregulated. Kidding aside, we knew that it is unchartered territory and impossible to know exactly what we were getting ourselves into. We've had to just be as aware as possible of what's happening and be diligent and creative in making the best possible product in whatever landscape unfolds in front of us.
How do you consume Beboe?
CK: Three to four puffs of the Beboe Downtime (Indica) vaporizer one hour before bed each evening makes for a great sleep.
SC: The pastilles are my favorite. Subtle and warm and sparkly. I take one or two in early afternoon and then get my drawing and painting done.
How did you create the specific blend and how did you determine what makes the ideal high? What does that mean for you?
SC: Everyone has the same pot brownie horror story. Eating three pot brownies because you didn't feel anything after the first two, and then just as you're finishing the last bite of the third, all three of them come crashing down on your reality. Now you're on a rollercoaster and you can't get off. We are high-functioning adults, and need to be able to predict and control our cannabis high every time. So everything is very gently dosed, and tested in house for precise control of potency so you only get as high as you want to.
Where is Beboe going? What's next for the brand?
CK: Beboe currently has six products in the market and will be introducing many more before the end of 2018. Our latest collaboration with wellness beverage company, Dirty Lemon introduces our CBD only product range, which we are launching with the highest quality CBD, from vaporizors to edibles.

Empty homes and second homes
Council tax is payable on properties that are empty, including second homes.
Empty home charges
In April 2013, the council changed its approach to Council Tax discounts and exemptions to address housing pressures for local residents. The council has introduced a number of options to help bring empty properties back into use. This includes:
Class A (uninhabitable exemptions) and Class C (empty and unfurnished exemptions) no longer exist and full Council Tax will need to be paid
the 10% discount for properties that are empty and furnished no longer exists and full Council Tax will need to be paid
where a property has been empty and unfurnished for more than 2 years, an additional 50% premium is now added and these properties will therefore pay 150% Council Tax
Some properties are entitled to an exemption, which means no council tax is payable. Find out more about exemptions.
Changes to the empty property premium from 1 April 2019
From 1 April 2019, the premium for properties that have been empty and unfurnished for more than 2 years increased from 50% to 100%. These properties paid 200% council tax.
From 1 April 2020 an increase of 200% will be applied for properties that have been empty for at least 5 years and these properties will therefore pay 300% council tax.
From 1 April 2021 an increase of 300% will be applied for properties that have been empty for at least 10 years and these properties will therefore pay 400% council tax.
As this premium applies to the property, a change of ownership or tenancy will not affect the premium. If when you purchased or leased your property it had already been empty and unfurnished for two years or more, you will have to pay the additional premium. The premium can only be removed by bringing your property back into use.
Help to return empty properties to use
If you are interested in returning your property to use, please contact the Empty Property Officers to advise them of your plans.
The officers can offer a range of assistance, both practical and financial, that can benefit the owners of qualifying properties.

Colin James announces new album, "Blue Highways", Oct 14 via True North Records
DUE OCTOBER 14 VIA TRUE NORTH RECORDS
PRE-ORDER BLUE HIGHWAYS VIA ITUNES, AMAZON OR TRUE NORTH LABEL STORE
August 4, 2016 (Toronto, ON) – Juno Award Winning Singer-songwriter Colin James will release his 18th album, Blue Highways, on October 14 via True North Records.
Blue Highways was co-produced by Colin and Dave Meszaros (Wake Owl, Old Man Canyon) and recorded at The Warehouse Studios in Vancouver.
Blue Highways pays tribute to some of the singer/ guitarist's longtime blues idols including Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Freddie King, Jr. Wells & Buddy Guy, Peter Green, Robert Johnson and William Bell to name a few.
In the Spring of 2015 Colin wrapped up his Hearts on Fire tour. After a couple of months of straight touring, Colin was loving playing with the band and really happy with the sound they had created on stage. What better time to make a record? Especially the record Colin had been itching to make for years – a collection of some of his favorite blues tracks. In less than a week Colin and his touring band went into The Warehouse Studios in Vancouver and in just 2 days, Blue Highways was born.
The lead single, "Going Down" inspired by the great Freddie King features; Geoff Hicks (Drums), Steve Pelletier (Bass), Jesse O'Brien (Piano), Craig Northey (Rhythm Guitar), and of course Colin James (Vocal/Guitar).
Colin James has been named as an inductee into the 2016 Western Canadian Music Hall of Fame presented by FACTOR. In addition to this honour, Colin will be headlining the Western Canadian Music Awards Show at Casino Regina on October 13, kicking off BreakOut West's 14th year of celebrating western Canada's talent.

Name This Bar - or just '?' according to the sign - is the newest project by Simon Mercier, previously of White Horse on Crown Street. The concept is curious: give the people what they want by leaving all the decisions to them. And so this bar has no name but it does have an 'ideas wall' on which patrons are welcome to scrawl their nominal suggestions and other random thoughts. It's currently home to a few choice gems that wouldn't look out of place in a toilet cubicle, and the top five suggestions for a name are listed online where you can vote for them.
Name This Bar also hosts music nights and burlesque performances.

University ›
UT colleges add seating, prepare for large freshman class
(Daily Texan file photo)

Published on August 5, 2012 at 9:00 pm
Brace yourselves — the freshmen are coming.
University officials have spent the summer months preparing for what might be its largest incoming freshman class on record and what could be the second largest overall enrollment in UT history. By adding more sections, lecturers, advisors and First-Year Interest Group programs, or programs that place freshmen into small groups to support their academic performance, University officials said they are confident that the school is ready for the freshmen class.
Kedra Ishop, vice provost and director of admissions, said estimates for the incoming freshman class are currently around 8,000 students. This is an approximate 900-student increase from last year's 7,149 students. Currently, the year 2002 holds the title for most first-time enrolled freshmen with 7,935 students enrolled as first-time freshmen and 8,419 students classified as freshmen. The University will not know if it broke its past records until the twelfth class day, when enrollment is officially counted.
"It's too close to call," Ishop said in an email, speculating whether this entering freshman class would be the University's largest. "Our largest prior class was just over 7,900. So it could be."
Although the University says it is ready for this incoming freshman class, the increased enrollment will place a strain on the University for years to come. Professor William Cunningham, who was president of the University from 1985 to 1992, faced similar issues because of enrollment growth in 1988 when enrollment reached an all-time high. Cunningham compared the problem to a bubble.
"If you have a problem in freshman courses this year, then next year you will have a problem in sophomore courses," Cunningham said. "So you will have to put some more resources into sophomore courses, but UT officials know that. It's not rocket science."
David Laude, senior vice provost for enrollment and graduation management, said the University will have to add sections and redirect resources for years to come. This means for returning students and for all students going forward, officials will continue to add sections and lecturers to various colleges and schools as this freshman class moves through the University.
"The reason you don't make decisions right now about where to put them is because students generally tend to migrate in lots of general directions," Laude said.
Laude said he has been involved in conversations with the deans across all of the schools, particularly in the professional schools like business, engineering and communication, about the possibility of expanding.
"As that happens and as they take on those additional students, it will be required that we take the money we have available associated with the increased enrollment and create additional sections in the majors they end up populating," Laude said.
Among the incoming freshmen, certain colleges and schools have been more heavily impacted. Marc Musick, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts, said he noticed the largest increases in the School of Undergraduate Studies, the College of Natural Sciences and the College of Fine Arts.
"I handled orientation for the University, so I can see the numbers we're experiencing across all the colleges," Musick said. He was appointed to oversee New Student Services and the large changes made in the orientation program by UT President William Powers Jr. in April.
The School of Undergraduate Studies faces more than a 50 percent increase in enrollment — from 900 students last year to approximately 1,400 this year. Initial numbers in the beginning of the summer indicated 1,574 students were planning on attending UGS in the fall, but since then almost 200 students have decided to not attend.
Incoming UGS interim dean Larry Abraham said when the school first heard about the number of incoming students, their initial concern was actually not about the number of classes offered but whether the school had enough advisors. Assistant UGS dean David Spight said the school has hired three new advisors, who will start the second week of August, a few weeks before students arrive.
Abraham said the school was also concerned about whether there would be enough seats in classes.
"There was a panic mode where students were saying there won't be enough seats. We've never had this many students try to take freshman courses, whether they are signature courses or introduction to biology or whatever," Abraham said. "The University has responded to that."
In order to respond to both its increased enrollment and the entire school's increased enrollment, UGS has added more than a total of 1,300 seats in signature courses to the 2012-2013 school year, bringing the total to 11,300. Signature courses, introduced in 2008, are each assigned a unique topic and aim to introduce the student to the University and its resources. The 1,300 additional seats includes the fall, spring and summer semesters. Patricia Micks, UGS senior program coordinator, said about 8,000 of those seats are the fall semester, when UGS hopes a majority of freshmen will take their signature course.
Micks said UGS did a combination of adding new signature courses and increasing the class size of some already-existing signature courses.
"We were very careful. If we're going to bump any class sizes, we were sure to strategically select professors who really shine in these large classes," Micks said.
UGS also increased the number of academic FIGs offered within the school from 15 to 24.
In order to pay for this, Abraham said the provost's office gave UGS approximately $300,000.
Thanks to the funding provided by the Provost's office, Abraham said UGS has dealt with advising and seating concerns. Spight said the school is now focusing to ensure students can make a smooth transition to their desired school after UGS.
"Our job is to help them find all the options and set them up for success, but in the end the student has to be successful in their courses and the programs have to be willing to say they will take those students," Spight said. "That concern is going to be a little bit bigger for us this year simply because there are more students that we are worrying about."
Spight said there has been increased collaboration between UGS and other colleges. For example, of the nine additional FIGs added to UGS, Spight said a few Natural-Sciences-oriented FIGS were added because a large number of students in UGS had selected the College of Natural Sciences as their first choice.
"We tried to make sure the FIGs that we added addressed those areas of interests," Spight said. "The courses that were associated with those FIGs, whether it be the signature course topics or the other courses in the FIG clusters, we made sure they were along those lines in the sciences."
In the College of Natural Sciences, freshman enrollment is expected to rise by about 15 percent. Last year, the college had about 1,835 students enroll, and this year it is expecting 2,152 students. Sacha Kopp, associate professor and natural sciences assistant dean, said the college has seen an increase in freshman enrollment in the past three years and this will be the largest class the college has ever seen.
The College of Natural Sciences has added sections and additional seats to prepare for this class, but Kopp said he could not say how many sections and seats were added since the college is still watching the enrollment numbers and is adjusting accordingly. Kopp said the college is not adding these classes just for students in that college.
And in the College of Fine Arts, which houses many of the courses required to fulfill the visual and performing arts undergraduate degree requirements, enrollment is expected to increase by 400 students, or 20 percent. The college has responded by adding several hundred seats to these courses to accommodate non-majors, said Andrew Dell-Antonio, College of Fine Arts associate dean.
Officials from other colleges are on board to prepare the University for this large incoming freshman class, even if their college is not seeing an enrollment increase. For example, Musick said COLA was adding additional sections.
"We serve students in other colleges as well," Musick said. "Even though it's not technically liberal arts students, they are UT students and they do need our classes."
Senior associate dean for academic affairs Richard Flores said the University added 16 new sections in the College of Liberal Arts. The college is in the process of hiring a combination of nine additional lecturers and assistant instructors. The provost's office provided the College of Liberal Arts with $306,000 in funding for this increase.
The first day of class is Aug. 29. The official enrollment count will be conducted Sept. 14.
Updated 11:24 a.m.: 1,300 seats, not 13,000 seats, were added to the number of signature courses.

NBS Unemployment Report: Atiku Releases Statement
ImagePolitics
By Femi Famutimi Last updated Dec 20, 2018
Presidential candidate for the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has released a statement bemoaning the level of unemployment in the country
This was as regards a report released by the National Bureau of Statistics which put the number of people to have lost jobs under the Buhari administration at a staggering 20.93m people
Atiku was outraged at the number stating that such a statistic is unacceptable
READ: Buhari's FMG, Atiku and 53 suitcases controversial by Abba Dukawa
In a statement by his media aide, Paul Ibe, he said: "We expected a terrible job report, particularly with the comment on live television from the President's spokesman, Garba Shehu, that President Buhari had ordered the Statistician-General of the Federation, Dr Yemi Kale, to fudge the latest job reports.
"However, the job report released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Wednesday, November 19, 2018, is not just terrible, it is catastrophic. It shows that under the APC administration, a whopping 20.93m Nigerians have lost their jobs!
"To put this in perspective, the unemployed population in Nigeria is now twice the population of Benin Republic!"
Atiku continued: "Nigeria cannot continue like this, especially with an administration that continues to blame others for things that they should find solutions to with the latest ridiculous episode being President Buhari's blaming of former President Jonathan for his own inability to appoint ministers for six months, an action that is directly responsible for the sorry state of unemployment in Nigeria."

Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge is located in southwestern Wisconsin, on the Mississippi River. About 40% of all waterfowl and shorebirds in North America migrate along this flyway, and the refuge serves as their "bed and breakfast." In addition to bird watching, there are miles of pet friendly trails to explore.
Many of us aspire to travel the country, but have you dug around your own back yard? A stay at Neshonoc Lakeside Camp Resort showed us what we'd been missing.
Milwaukee is one of our favorite pet friendly destinations. The city has a friendly, easy-going vibe that permeates the atmosphere and all who linger here.
Door County, Wisconsin is a wonderfully pet friendly vacation spot. One town or village after the other stands ready to welcome you and your dog.
For people who travel with their pets, meet the new Milwaukee. It's a wonderfully walkable dog friendly city ... and there's still plenty of beer on tap.


The younger generation has been hesitant to adopt classic taxis to any large extent. They find the waiting time from order to service too long. They lack a suitable ordering interface that matches their almost always instant service needs. In addition to unpredictable timing, classic taxis lack transparency on who is driving and what car you will be transported in. For tourists the chance of being ripped off in taxis has been the law rather than the exemption. And last but not least, cash is not king in the cab any longer when it comes to user preferences for payments.
Uber clients order their service through an app that shows them information on the closest car. The buyer of the service gets an instant picture of where the closest driver is and of when they can expect the driver to arrive.
Beyond knowing where the driver is, you get the option to pick from five standard services: A shared ride, with up to four other people you don't know. A low-cost option for four people. Six people served by a larger and more expensive car. A luxury sedan option for four people. And finally the executive option in black. This differentiation on car level goes against the norm in many countries, which streamline taxis around a single type of car.
And when the Uber ride is done, the payment method has taken the leap into the 21st century as well. Gone is the need for cash, with payment settled through the app.
Uber launched their services in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex in September 2012. Three years after launch Uber has 60 percent of the business travel market in Dallas, with taxis serving 39 percent and other alternatives 1 percent. Uber has particularly become the go to alternative for the younger generation. This always on sharing digital generation has found 'their" transport option, to the point that they give up on driving on party nights, leading to a reduction in deaths from drunk driving.
The latter points towards a phenomena which is not about a zero sum game. A lot of Uber's expansion comes from market expansion. The budget tapped into is millennials' entertainment rather than transport budgets. In San Francisco the taxi market is worth $140M annually, where Uber rides generate $500M and grow by a factor 3X.
The Uber phenomenon comes with a range of complexities too. It has been debated if the driver is a contractor or an employee, and the state of California has ruled in favor of the latter. Uber drivers of large SUVs and limousines are protesting against having to drive for fares in the lower service categories. Drivers are offered sub-prime loans to buy a good car to meet service expectations at the cost of higher interest rates. And Uber's reputation has been challenged when a driver was accused of sexual assault, a scenario that quickly could change customer preferences.
The sharing economy depends on taking capital investments off the seller's balance sheets, driving the need for business model innovations on both the customer and the employee/contractor side.
A larger share of the new working generation will enter the labor markets as contractors and part time workers and consider themselves as entrepreneurs in one-person companies.
The consumer industries with largest exposure to major networked/digital disruptions are the ones with a low level of innovation over the past 30 years and/or large gaps in buyer needs vs. seller offerings.
The large innovators will run into minor and major obstacles along the road but the movement is too strong to be halted. The transformation might slow down but will always soon bounce back.
