Thinking About Starting Your Own Academic Journal?
There are tens of thousands of journals in medicine, health care, and education, but starting over a year ago, Christopher Kevin Wong and Jean Fitzpatrick Timmerberg, faculty members in rehabilitation and regenerative medicine at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, began talking about the need for a new one in their field.
The two founded and recently launched the Journal of Clinical Education in Physical Therapy (JCEPT), and they spoke to the CUIMC Newsroom about what motivated them to start the journal and how they got it off the ground.
Journal of Clinical Education in Physical Therapy
Assess the Need
According to Timmerberg and Wong, the first and most important consideration is whether there is sufficient demand for a new journal.
In their field—physical therapy education—there was only one publication. "With more research in the field, there's a long waiting list to publish in that journal, which limits the opportunity for faculty and students to publish scholarly work and share it with clinicians," says Timmerberg.
The limited opportunity to publish is particularly detrimental for younger scholars, Wong adds: "In order to develop future faculty, there needs to be an avenue for publishing scholarly work and sharing exemplary case studies."
Timmerberg and Wong also believed there was a need to share scholarly work with a wider audience. "Making our journal open-access expands readership to the majority of faculty, students, and clinicians who do not belong to the professional association subsection that publishes the other journal," Wong says.
Get a Reality Check
Even if your audience is clamoring for a new journal, are such projects realistic? How does a novice publisher identify all of the items that need to be considered to get the project off the ground?
To find out, Timmerberg and Wong first met with Melissa Mendelson, director of programs at the CUIMC Health Sciences library. "She explained that we might consider housing the journal in Columbia's library system, instead of a large publishing house," says Wong. He and Timmerberg pitched their concept to the digital scholarship department at Columbia Libraries on the Morningside campus, which supports digital publishing projects at Columbia.
"We thought they would just give us some basic ideas about how to get started, but once they agreed to publish our journal, they helped us refine our mission and provided support on a number of elements," says Timmerberg.
The library team helped Wong and Timmerberg design a journal logo, set up email and Twitter accounts, create a mailing list, and provide a repository for housing legal documents and author copyrights. Michelle Wilson, a digital publishing librarian and project manager for JCEPT, and Mehr Ali, an intern from Columbia's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, were assigned to the project to help Timmerberg and Wong manage everything smoothly.

Columbia Libraries' online journal software system publishes the articles and also helps Wong and Timmerberg run the journal by tracking article submissions, peer reviews, and communication with authors.
Build Credibility
"In building a peer-reviewed, open-access journal, we knew we needed to make sure our audience didn't view this as another predatory journal," says Wong. "One way to build confidence is to recruit an editorial board that's beyond reproach."
The scholarly communication team recommended starting with six editorial board members, which Timmerberg and Wong supplemented with 10 associate editors, all with three-year appointments. Most of JCEPT's editorial team members have significant publishing experience and are geographically and professionally diverse, with multiple academic roles and clinical specialties represented.
On the suggestion of one editorial board member, the journal is also piloting an open peer-review process. For authors who opt in, reviewer comments will not be anonymous. "We're hoping to raise the bar on communication between authors and reviewers, so that everyone in the process learns something," Timmerberg says.
Because Columbia's library doesn't cover every aspect of digital publishing, such as copy editing, proofreading, and typesetting, the journal charges a small fee to cover those costs after an article has been accepted.

"Article processing charges are a reality, though we will allow residents and fellows to apply for a waiver," Wong says.
Wong and Timmerberg also applied for a grant from the Virginia Apgar Academy of Medical Educators at VP&S to defray some of the start-up costs and study the effectiveness in reaching their target audience. "With these funds, we'll conduct webinars to encourage people to submit high-quality articles and subsidize some of the article processing fees for members of the Columbia University family."
Budget a Year and Then Some
Development of the journal first began a little over a year ago. "We have had weekly meetings since the beginning, but each meeting comes with action items, which take more time," says Wong.
"Setting up the journal alone could have been a full-time job," he adds. "But now that it's been launched, we really don't know how much time it will take to manage on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis."

When Culture Club's "Time (Clock Of The Heart)" was first released back in 1982 it was basically a stand alone single that just so happened to really take off. It eventually hit number two on Billboard's Hot 100 and that paved the way for the London new wave group to break through in the U.S. Culture Club went to have numerous hits such as "Miss Me Blind" and "Karma Chameleon" but I think that "Time" might be the one that has held up the best. As for the group itself, Culture Club does still perform and lead singer Boy George has spent part of this summer doing shows with Cyndi Lauper.

One Bedroom Apartment with swimming pool in prime location.
Located in a small resort, set amongst palm trees with saltwater swimming pool, Free Wifi, BBQ area and secure undercover parking.
The apartment is fully self contained with kitchen, laundry facilities, Austar, LCD TV, DVD player with library and private terrace. Cossies by the sea is located beachside of the complex so a very quiet location and the beach is easily accessed along a leafy track that delivers you onto a beautiful stretch of beach. Byron Bay craft and farmers markets are also just a 5 minute walk.
1 Bedroom Apartment with Queen size bed. Sofa bed (innerspring) in living area.
I had such a lovely time at Cossies with my daughter that we returned with my husband two weeks later and stayed a further 6 nights. It is a lovely, well presented apartment, with new bathroom and appliances. The apartment has all the comforts of home. It is within walking distance to shops and beach,which is fantastic since parking in Byron is difficult and expensive. As it's at the back of the Beaches Resort,it is away from the busy,noisy main road (a definite plus). We look forward to staying at Cossies again sometime when we return. Thank you Dalene, for making our stay so enjoyable.
We had a great time here. Location was perfect, pool was beautiful. Would definitely stay again!
The unit was everything as described. Clean, Comfortable and well equipped. Close to the shops and the markets…Will definitely stay again….
We loved our stay at Cossies! Great location with a short walk into the centre of town and to the beach. The apartment was so quiet and relaxing.

I keep this photo on my refrigerator door so I see it every day.
I keep it there as a reminder of when I first got a taste of TRUE FREEDOM.
I'm 18 years old in this picture. Standing on the beach in San Diego.
This was the first time I had traveled alone.
The first time I put my toes in the Pacific Ocean.
The first time I had traveled West at all actually.
And it was the first time I made a decision solely for myself and without asking for permission or for someone's advice on what I should do.
It was the first time I didn't care what anyone thought or how they called me crazy for getting on that plane.
I remember that trip like it was yesterday.
I remember the feeling of pure freedom and absolute possibility.
So I keep this photo where I can always see it as a happy reminder that I am truly meant for this life and that a big part of me always knew it.
Looking back now it's all so clear. It all makes so much sense. I was never the crazy one that they labeled me for wanting to jump, to fly, to do whatever random thing popped into my head.
They were the crazy ones for trying to keep me down or keep me inside of the "what you're supposed to do" box.
I know that the 18 year old version of me would have been obsessed with what I've built for myself and be truly proud of who we've become. And that makes my heart smile.
Making the conscious decision to live life on my terms was one of the best things I've ever done.

With the summer heat still refusing to relent here in Orlando, I thought it appropriate to take a closer look at my favorite water park, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon.
Every Disney attraction, show or ride has a great backstory and Typhoon Lagoon is no exception. It's absolutely evident from the moment you arrive, and the story continues seamlessly throughout your day.
Like a surfside playground left behind by a "great storm" for modern-day Swiss Family Robinsons, Typhoon Lagoon — with its breaking waves, saltwater snorkeling pool and gushing water surges — ushers in a new generation of water adventures for Walt Disney World guests.
Humunga Kowabunga's three water slides which drop guests down the mountain and through rocky caverns at speeds up to 30 mph.
Storm Slides, consisting of three curving body slides called Rudder Buster, Stern Burner and Jib Jammer, take guests past assorted nautical flotsam before depositing them into a pool at the bottom of the mountain.
Three rafting adventures — Mayday Falls provides guests with a white-water experience; Keelhaul Falls boasts a triple vortex that literally adds new "twists" to riding the rapids; Gangplank Falls enables families to ride together on three- to five-passenger rafts.
Circling the lagoon is Castaway Creek, a meandering, 2,100-foot stream. Guests of all ages hop onto inner tubes for a relaxing tour that takes them through a misty rain forest and a hidden grotto, providing a spectacular view of Typhoon Lagoon and its many activities. THIS, is where you will find me most of the time!

One of the questions I get asked the most from friends or on social media is where to eat the best breakfast in the city. My answer to that is always is 1. this is a big city and there are so many good places to eat breakfast! … and 2. What's your Budget? Location? Occasion? Mood? You need to consider all these factors when choosing the *right* place!
The breakfast and brunch scene in London has tripled in size to when I first moved to London in 2011 and it continues to grow with a new place popping up nearly every week (it feels like that, anyway!) My first experience of a 'real' London brunch was when a friend and I ventured to Tom's Kitchen in Chelsea where i I took my first food photo and I've been hooked every since. Breakfast has become my absolute fayourite meal to eat out and the choice, quality and creativity in London has made that experience so much easier and enjoyable.
Here are, in no particular order, London's Best Breakfasts & Brunch: Central London.
Sister to the iconic Duck & Waffle who has spectacular views over London, Duck and Waffle Local is a slightly more casual and affordable affair than its bigger sibling. Expect lots of duck inspired dishes with their duck leg and waffle being their signature. However, there are plenty of options for vegetarians and great waffles for those with a breakfast sweet tooth.
Why go? To experience Duck & Waffles signature food but without the price tag.
A super instagrammble spot inspired by Australia's famous brunch scene. Lots of healthy, colourful options but their banana bread sandwich with mascarpone and berries is their most recognised dish.
Why go? To get a good Instagram snap.
Inspired by the cafes of Bombay, Dishoom's Indian inspired breakfast is one of London's most sort after morning haunts. They do things like naan bread bacon sandwiches, bottomless date porridge and a giant Bombay breakfast which is a twist on the British classic. Don't Leave without a cup of their refillable sweet and spicy chai tea. Book in advance or expect to queue.
Why go? For something a bit different.
A chic café just off Covent Garden with bare brick walls and funky lighting. The breakfast menu is substantial, creative and great quality. A good choice for those who love their coffee too.
Why go? If you love coffee as well as breakfast.
Balan's originated in Soho (hence the name) but now have cafes across London. They're an effortless place to grab breakfast with full English breakfasts to a fancier lobster eggs benedict. Plus their pancakes are some of the best around (See London's Best Pancakes here) A great all-rounder for a casual or more special breakfast.
Why go? A place to please everyone.
This Danish bakery is most famous for their cinnamon buns which in my opinion is a perfectly acceptable breakfast (see all of London's best cinnamon buns here). However, if you're wanting something a bit less sugary in the morning they do a small menu of topped toasts, eggs and oats. A good solo breakfast spot (see more here) or somewhere to work.
Why go? For their famous cinnamon social or a fuss-free buy at the counter breakfast.
A small, minimalist 'Scandi-esque' coffee shop just off Covent garden with basement seating and a small but fantastic brunch menu of just 6 items. Get their early, order their avocado toast (one of the BEST in London) and take it downstairs for a moment of hygge.
Why go? For the best avocado toast ever!
A modern European restaurant with a grand art deco design. The Wolseley is not just your bog standard breakfast, it's an entire experience. Tea is served in a silver teapot, service is classic in style and just because it's a bit fancy doesn't mean portions are small. Breakfast for a special occasion.
Why go? To treat yourself.
Dirty Bones do an NYC-inspired brunch menu of comfort food & cocktails. They're not one to visit for quinoa bowls and whole grain porridge's but more for chicken and waffles and steak and eggs. Expect a grungy and edgy atmosphere. A great one for a boozy brunch.
Why go? If you're not watching your calories and love cocktails.
Abuelo is an Australian meets South American coffee-house and kitchen. The space is small and unique with a large communal kitchen table for you to connect with those around you over coffee, cake and brunch. Sits just off the hustle of Covent Garden.
Why go? For a quick but lovely pit stop and if you don't mind communal seating.
Voted as Europe's best independent coffee shop, Timberyard doubles as a friendly workspace for anyone living that laptop lifestyle. (purchases are required ) However, you don't have to have a laptop to visit for a specialty tea (that comes with its own special brewing timer) and the pick of their breakfast menu which includes dippy eggs with soldiers and almond butter on toast. Bright space with a sleek wood design and large windows. A good one for a solo breakfast.
Why go? For a place to work without feeling guilty.
An independent coffee house as well as eatery and bakery. They serve Square Mile coffee, pastries made fresh in house every day as well toasted sourdough with a variety of toppings. A cosy, sort after spot in the lovely Neals Yard.
26 grains also sits in the uber cool and colourful Neal's Yard court. This small and sweet spot is London's one & only porridge cafe specialising in sweet and savoury oats. Rest assured this isn't one of those 'fad' places and their cracking bowls of oats are beautiful and laden with healthy nut butter, fresh fruits and alternative milk. If you're not a fan of porridge they also do a small alternative breakfast menu. Limited seating inside but plenty outside.
Why go? If you love porridge or want healthy but tasty food.
A small but perfectly formed bakery off the beaten track. Stop by for a morning bun, a cuppa tea and a look at all the other pastries and treats they have. A hidden gem.
Why go? To venture off the beaten track.
Swedish Cafe Soderberg first established themselves in Edinburgh and have now ventured South to London's Soho. Most people visit for their freshly baked cinnamon buns but they also do a small menu of eggs and toasts. A cool cafe with sharing tables, low lighting and hidden cave booths. Find London's best cinnamon buns here.
Why go? For a Scandinavian experience.
A popular Aussie brunch spot just behind London's busiest shopping destination Oxford Street. Pop in for a stack of their sweetcorn fritters with bacon, chilli jam and a poached egg. Not many tables in this small cafe but worth the wait or make sure you book a table in advance.
Why go? A nice brunch to catch up with friends.
Sophisticated dining room inside a former fire station and 5* hotel. A destination for a swankier breakfast and great pancakes. A favourite with celebs including Lindsey Lohan and Dr Who's Matt Smith who has been spotted multiple times.
Why go? To feel a bit swanky and maybe spot a celeb.
This California style restaurant dedicated to all things Avocado. It's easy to think that this might be a bit of a 'fad breakfast spot' but it has both style and substance. Of course, you'll find your classic avocado toasts but it's joined by things like avocado on sweet potato with coconut cream, avocado eggs benedict and pancakes with avocado butter. The perfect place for avocado lovers.
Why go? If you love avocado, of course!
Named after the 80's cult hit movie, The Breakfast Club is the perfect retro hangout to nurse a hangover or just when you want a good substantial all day breakfast. There's something for everyone on their huge menu of benedicts, pancakes, eggs and breakfast sarnies. A funky and trendy spot with no reservations. Expect to queue.
Why go? For some proper breakfast grub or to nurse a hangover.

Films Are His Flock
Jonathan Bock explains Christians to Hollywood
By Josh Sanburn
IN THE MONTHS LEADING UP to the March 28 release of Noah—the biblical epic by writer-director Darren Aronofsky, starring Russell Crowe—Paramount Pictures screened half a dozen versions of the film, some more overtly religious than others. The studio discovered something surprising: people didn't really know the story And it wasn't merely nonbelievers who had misconceptions about the tale of a man who built an ark to survive a great flood. It was Christians too.
"In some of the screenings, there were people who expressed concerns because Noah got drunk," says Jonathan Bock, founder and president of marketing firm Grace Hill Media. "Well, that's in the Bible. We had people talk about the townspeople making fun of Noah for building an ark. Well, that's not in the Bible."
Those bits of information helped Bock advise Paramount on how to market a movie that was controversial months before its release because of accusations that it doesn't accurately portray the Genesis tale. The studio wanted Noah to be popular with the general public, but more important, it needed
to win over the tens of millions of U.S. Christians who are increasingly sought after in Hollywood. In late February, the studio released a joint statement with the National Religious Broadcasters saying the movie was not 100% biblically accurate but was true to the spirit of the scriptural story—an attempt to mollify those who had misconceptions about the tale as well as people who believed that Aronofsky's version strayed too far from it.
In Hollywood, portraying God, Jesus and the Bible is a tricky business, and one that hasn't been this bustling for half a century. Not since Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments has the good book been so much in demand. But it's far from an easy sell. For faith-based entertainment, getting pastors and congregations on board is more important than a glowing review in the New York Times. If preachers tell their congregants not to see a movie, that's bad news for studios.
Which is where Bock comes in.
"I sit on a funny fence," says Bock, who advises movie executives on religious content and markets those films to the Christian community through churches, religious organizations and media outlets. "I help these two worlds that don't often intersect understand each other and help them realize that they can be of great benefit to one another." Bock is Hollywood's spiritual guide, the religious expert studios hire when they're interested in reaching Christians, the same way that a producer making a war movie needs a military historian. He's there to make sure Hollywood gets Scripture right and avoids turning off the millions of American believers, which can often result in plummeting box-office numbers. The most shocking example is the outcry in the late 1980s over Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ, an account of Jesus' last days based on a novel by Nikos Kazantzakis. It ended with Christ on the Cross being tempted by Satan and envisioning himself married to Mary Magdalene. Thousands of radio stations denounced it, protesters picketed the studio's headquarters, and the film, though critically acclaimed, became one of Scorsese's all-time worst- performing movies.
"In the past, Christians considered Hollywood to be the enemy," says Phil Cooke, a consultant who owns a production company and describes his job as helping Christians "not suck" at the media. "They boycotted Hollywood, but they've finally realized that Hollywood doesn't respond to criticism. It responds to the box office."
AND THE BOX OFFICE IS BOOMing. Since Bock founded Grace Hill in 2000, he has worked on about 350 films and TV shows, including last year's The Bible miniseries, which was the highest-rated new cable show in 2013, outperforming the top-rated Walking Dead and drawing 13 million people to its premiere. The past few years have seen a slew of faith-based titles:
Lifetime's Preachers1 Daughters, Game Show Network's American Bible Challenge and the History Channel's Son of God, a theatrically released movie adaptation of The Bible miniseries. Ridley Scott's Exodus, another epic, is due in December 2014.
Bock's latest project, Noah, is the biggest faith-based movie to hit screens in half a century, requiring one of his most extensive outreach efforts. The $130 million film is also the biggest movie to date for Aronofsky, an auteur better known for creating edgy, artistic, sometimes disturbing films like The Wrestler and the Oscar- winning Black Swan. For the past two years, Bock has advised Paramount on how to portray one of the Bible's foremost characters.
Bock didn't start out thinking he'd be God's point man in Hollywood. When he got his start in television in the 1990s, he wanted to be a sitcom writer, a career trajectory that was short-lived. (He describes the one episode he wrote for the ABC show Hangin' With Mr. Cooper as "pure comedic genius." He's joking.) After splitting with his writing partner in the late '90s, he took a job in the publicity department at Warner Bros., which at the time was looking to market family-friendly movies My Dog Skip and The Green Mile. "I said to my boss, 'I think people who go to church would really like these movies. You should hire some company that does outreach to pastors or calls Christian radio stations,' " Bock recalls. "We looked everywhere, and there was nobody." Bock founded Grace Hill Media, now a 10-person firm, to fill the gap. Before he arrived, Hollywood executives rarely attempted to reach out to evangelicals, let alone devise a strategy for doing so. "Most of them just haven't grown up in a Christian background," Cooke says. "For a long time, Hollywood didn't think about this audience very much." That changed with the success of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, a 2004 film that portrays, in vivid detail, the brutal last day of the biblical Jesus. Gibson's movie was produced, marketed and distributed without a major studio; instead it had the support of a swath of evangelical leaders, from Billy Graham and James Dobson to Rick Warren. Nearly a decade later, having made $370 million domestically, it remains the highest-grossing R-rated film ever, according to Box Office Mojo. Suddenly, Cooke recalls, "Hollywood discovered that there are 90 million Americans who take their faith very seriously." But Hollywood had nothing in the pipeline to capitalize on this realization. "They had no institutional knowledge of how to develop, produce, market or distribute a movie like that," Bock says. "So what Hollywood ended up doing was what any smart businessman does—they toe-dipped."
In the mid-2000S, studios began acquiring small Christian films and placing them in select theaters while also producing direct-to-DVD movies. Fox, New Line, Sony and Warner Bros, all created faith-based divisions. Meanwhile, Bock was pretty much the only guy in Hollywood experienced at cultivating Christian connections. He reaches out to pastors like Ken Foreman of Cathedral of Faith in San Jose, Calif., who has screened several of Bock's projects for members of his church, and asks them to comment on the films. "He knows both communities," Foreman says. "He can reach into both worlds and connect them." The next big turning point for Grace Hill was the critical and box- office success of The Blind Side, a true story about a white, distinctly Christian family in the South that adopts a young African-American man and nurtures him into an NFL prospect. Grace Hill conducted an extensive screening campaign for pastors across the country and contacted Christian news outlets to generate buzz. The film proved to be a breakthrough for Bock—and Hollywood—because it projected Christian values without explicitly addressing religion. "The faith felt so organic, so real, that I think it really showed Hollywood that you can have it both ways," Bock says. "You can make a great movie and also make it a faith-filled movie."
Working on the TV miniseries The Bible, Bock advised producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey while convening some 40 theologians and scholars to look over the script to make sure it was as authentic as possible. One scene pastors had diverging views on included a line in which Jesus tells his disciple Peter that they are going to "change the world." That line isn't in the Bible, and some religious leaders wanted Jesus' dialogue to be 100% true to Scripture. But it stayed, in part because the intent was in line with the New Testament.
While a key concern with The Bible was making sure churchgoers would find the miniseries to be an accurate representation of what Christians believe to be the word of God, Noah is a bit different. For the past few months, Aronofsky and Paramount have been at odds over the direction of the film. Paramount execs have been screen-testing versions that give more obvious nods to Scripture, while Aronofsky stood by his original vision for a movie he has called "the least biblical biblical film ever made." And: "I don't give a f-ck about test scores. I'm outside the test scores."
It's typical for a film to be screen- tested in a few different versions, but Noah went through about half a dozen, shown to predominantly Christian audiences, including one that featured religious imagery at the beginning and a Christian rock song called "Spirit Break Out" by Kim Walker-Smith played over the credits. Those screenings were when Bock discovered that a number of the faithful weren't aware of the story as told in the Bible, including the part where Noah gets drunk once he gets off the ark.
"We all know the story we all tell our kids, which is a happy animal rainbow story," Bock says. "But when you read the actual Scripture, it's terrifying. We forget the part where God was basically sorry he made his creation and found them wicked. We take the bookends off that story and make it a nice sweet kids' story that we put on billboards at church next to animal crackers."
For Bock, the screenings illustrated how today's pastors focus on the New Testament and a much more merciful God. And that in turn showed Paramount how crucial it was to let moviegoers know what they were getting into before they reached the theater.
"The single most important piece of information was that this was not attempting to be a 100% retelling of the story from Genesis," says Rob Moore, vice chairman of Paramount Pictures. "A 100% literal retelling would not make a great film." On Feb. 27, Paramount released its statement declaring that the movie wasn't meant to be verbatim. A similar disclaimer appears in its marketing materials, in the movie's trailer and on its website: "While artistic license has been taken, we believe that this film is true to the essence, values and integrity of a story that is a cornerstone of faith for millions of people world wide. The biblical story of Noah can be found in the book of Genesis." Even though Aronofsky didn't have the final cut, Moore says Noah is consistent with the director's initial version, and it has received a stamp of approval from Christian leaders like Geof Morin, executive vice president of the American Bible Society, and Brian Houston, senior pastor of Hillsong Church, which includes thousands of congregants at a dozen churches around the world. Bock believes Christian audiences in general will embrace it as well. "What Darren has done is make this guy righteous and flawed, which is what is going to resonate with the Christian community, because that's all of us," he says. "I think they're going to see themselves in Noah."
And he believes the momentum behind faith-based films is more than just a blip in Hollywood. In fact, he thinks it's a return of the Christian community's role as a patron of the arts.
"Hollywood has developed that knowledge where it can take bigger chances," he says. "They know who the audience is now. They know what they're looking for. We're just as busy as we were a few years ago, but the stakes are higher." ■

Evolution vs. Creation -- Research Starters Education;4/1/2018, p1
Research Starter
This article discusses the legal issues surrounding the teaching of creationism and evolution in public school science classrooms in the United States. Since the early 20th century, parents, teachers, and politicians have often been embroiled in contentious debates regarding freedom of religion as applied to the role of religious interpretations of science in the public school science curriculum. Religious fundamentalists view evolution as both unscientific and amoral and advocate its replacement with a faith-based account of the origin of man. Others accept that evolution is fundamental to science and therefore important for students to study. The courts have consistently ruled that creationism and, later, Intelligent Design are not science and therefore do not belong in the public school science classroom.

Churches and charities launch Climate Sunday campaign
by Maddy Fry
Lightning strikes during a thunderstorm near the town of Volozhin, Belarus, on Tuesday
A COALITION of churches and charities has launched a campaign, Climate Sunday, as part of a call for action on climate change.
Starting from 6 September, churches will be encouraged to have a Sunday devoted to the theme of climate change at any time during the following 12 months. The scheme was announced last Friday, to mark World Environment Day, by Churches Together in Britain and Ireland. It supported charities which include CAFOD, Christian Aid, Operation Noah, and Tearfund.
Free resources are being provided to encourage churches to hold a climate-focused service, make a commitment as a community to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions in the long term, or join other churches and groups, before the 26th UN climate-change conference (COP26) in November, in urging the Government to do more about climate change.
The campaign will conclude with a national Climate Sunday event on 5 September 2021 to pray for action on global warming.
The Bishop of Salisbury, the Rt Revd Nicholas Holtam, the C of E's lead bishop on environmental issues, said: "Although our focus has been shifted from climate change in recent months by the challenges of responding to Covid-19, the climate crisis has not gone away, and the driest May since records began is a timely reminder of this.
"Climate Sunday will be a brilliant resource to help Church of England parishes understand and respond to the climate crisis. As we work out the actions we need to take to cut our carbon emissions every year to reach net zero emissions by 2030, Climate Sunday will motivate, encourage, and inspire our churches to keep going on this journey."
The Bishop of Salford, the Rt Revd John Arnold, the Roman Catholic Bishops' Conference's lead bishop on the environment, said: "We need to recognise the damage we're doing to the environment and our failure to look after our brothers and sisters in our common home. In a post-pandemic world, the Climate Sunday project is an excellent opportunity for Catholic parishes in England and Wales, as well as our ecumenical brothers and sisters, to understand responsibility to heal our planet and to pray and act in response to the climate emergency."
Tearfund's director of global advocacy, Dr Ruth Valerio, said: "The current crisis has changed the way we see the world. It has reminded us of the fragility of life, exposed the gap between rich and poor, and revealed the damage we have done to the wider creation. But it has also helped us love our neighbours, and brought communities together.
"Climate Sunday is a great opportunity to respond to these societal shifts, to pause and reimagine what life could be like, to commit to living differently ourselves, and to call on the UK Government to rebuild our economy in a way that tackles the climate emergency and builds a better world for everyone."

This is not the first time that the US "common man" has embraced populism. Who said the following? "What are the real issues that exist today in these United States? It is the trend of pseudointellectual government where a select elite group have written guidelines in bureaus and court decisions… looking down their noses at the average man on the street … the auto workers, … the little businessman…" (quoted in Cowie: http://digitalcommons.ilr.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1919&context=articles) This was George Wallace, in 1972, the year he scored a victory in the Democratic primary in Michigan, due primarily to "working-class" opposition to school busing on the heels of white flight to the suburbs. His "populist" message of "anti-elitism", "anti-crime" and anti-busing wasn't openly racist, but that was its content. Dewey Burton, the young male symbol of the 1970s (white) working class followed for years by the US media (as told by Cowie, above) was not a racist in his personal attitudes, but his alienation from ossified New Deal politics within a Fordist economic model that provided "only" high-wage job security (and for fewer and fewer people) manifested itself in a form that is fairly indistinguishable from the suddenly new "revolt" of the white working class in the rust belt in 2016 – and this well before Fordism entered into its terminal crisis later in the 70s.
You know what, I just realized that I was assuming something that I don't think Sheridan is. In my comment about the populous of Rome being virtuous, I was assuming Sheridan was attempting to educate the populous. I think I'm wrong.
It seems Sheridan has virtue training in mind for a select few, not all of "the British."

A cheeseburger cannot exist outside of a highly developed, post-agrarian society.
Here, "a cheeseburger" can be the representation of agency; "...highly developed agrarian society", the most suitable historical context. In other words, throughout the course of history, if human agency were to be maximized, it must have encountered the most suitable historical context. For instance, Belgium's resistance at the beginning of the first world war may not be as vital if Germany did not execute the foul plan of Schlieffen. Equally, if a not-so-successful Olympic swimmer nowadays were to travel back in time, he probably would get the gold medals. Even if he really were to exist in the past, he would unlikely to be as fast as he will be in today's world, as the techniques for swimming in the past was not as advance as those today.
Nevertheless, it needs to be clarify that the existence of a cheeseburger is brought about because the most suitable historical context gives the largest possibility for cheeseburgers to exist and thrive. One should not think that cheeseburgers have the ability identifying the historical context suitable for themselves. It is this age of mass production and redistribution of resources that gives cheeseburgers the chance to emerge. Hence, be grateful for cheeseburgers; this shows your respect to this sophisticated era.
I began to feel a little uneasy. There was something in the way Penelope put it which silenced my superior sense. I called to mind, now my thoughts were directed that way, what had passed between Mr. Franklin and Rosanna overnight. She looked cut to the heart on that occasion; and now, as ill-luck would have it, she had been unavoidably stung again, poor soul, on the tender place. Sad! sad!–all the more sad because the girl had no reason to justify her, and no right to feel it.
Betteredge's demonstrative narrative here appeals to me. All along the way, the old man had been high up above, examining Rosanna's affections towards Mr.Franklin from behind the veils. However, the quiet stolidity of Rosanna described by his daughter "silenced" his "superiority sense". Not only that Rosanna had been stung in the tenderest chamber of her heart, but also her lack of justification of her feelings, had aroused the melancholy sense. I would be intrigued to analyze the turn of Betteredge's feelings towards Rosanna, as revealed here for an instance. Additionally, the old man's stereotypes towards Rosanna might be linked to class prejudice, since she was a mere servant in the house.

Goes in hand with the notion that the core of capitalism is exploitation. The output produced by a worker is greater than the actual price of the workers salary. The difference between the value generated and what is paid out is the surplus which is then consummed by the bourgousie or owners /capitalists.
Clark's work with developmental math is part of a bigger transformation going on at Oregon State. A three-year, $515,000 initiative funded by an Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) grant is enabling educators to overhaul eight high-enrollment general education courses classrooms with adaptive and interactive learning systems.
"Polite" classical education continued, needless to say, in schools for the upper classes and in the traditional universities.
But think about how this creates a divide in rhetorical understanding between class (and other socioeconomic divisions i.e. gender and race), especially in regards to the question of rhetorical definition. If one group of people is learning about language, philosophy, religion, etc. in the Classical sense and another in the vernacular sense, then will they end up having the same understanding of rhetoric? I would guess not. It would seem that rhetoric at the end of the eighteenth century (and onward) cannot be properly examined without considering a certain dimension of economic influence, especially in regards to class tension.
The peculiar simultaneity of malignancy and softness in the Byronic character type meant that women were able to place themselves in the role of Byron's benevolent reformer.
This is the major claim of the paragraph. The persona Byron created in his writing is connected to Byron himself in the minds of his readers and the softness that underlies even his evil deeds draws women to him with the idea they can help.
Key term: The basis of the special relationship between Byron and his readers that made him more than an ordinary poet and turned his readers into fans. The emotional connection Byron's readers feel to him transforms him into one of the characters of his novels and bestows upon him a personality that his fans can connect to.
letters demonstrate how the Byronic persona encouraged a deep emotional investment from Byron's readers.
Main theme: There is evidence that Byron's fans thought they had a personal connection to him.
Key term: Byron's brooding element that aids him in forming such emotional poetry and is at the basis of so much of his character. Throsby equates Byron's melancholy with his Rebel character stating that together, these draw women to him with the idea that they can help.
Main theme: Many of Byron's fans feel that they would be able to impact him in a real way because they think that they know him through his writing. Key Term: Byron made many mistakes and discrepancies in England, and this added to his fame, yet many women were willing to forgive his faults because they believe they saw in his writing a desire for reform. The idea of reform permeated Byron's celebrity interactions because many people saw him as living in sin and put it upon themselves to change that.
Byron's formation of what Dyer would call 'the Rebel' character type and its strong appeal to women.
Main theme: the Rebel persona that Byron creates for himself, whether true or not, is what draws this female attention.
Key term: A persona that attracts interest by not conforming. Dyer defines Byron's celebrity persona with "the Rebel" character type.
Keyterm: The celebrity that Byron created that was his personality in public and that showed throughout his writings. Throsby connects the Byronic persona to Byron's social successes.
Are the class lines smooth? This statement seems insufficient to describe complexity of the split.
Large lecture classes may go through the content too quickly for the typical student to understand. That's why so many schools follow the practice of breaking the class cohort into smaller sections led by teaching assistants.
Study by faculty members at West Point finds students perform better academically when laptops and tablets are banned from the classroom.
It's coming out quickly and will need much development, but I need to write it down now. I welcome your comments and questions and elaborations and collegial friendly amendments.
This might be the most explicit link to constructivism and constructionism. Not only is it about "learn by doing", but it's about concrete action in the physical world. Can't help but find it limiting and restrictive to mention "3D Printing" as the main component. After all, FabLabs got started without 3D printers and the Maker movement has a lot of stuff which has little to do with 3D Printing. But it's hard to argue that 3D Printing haven't attracted attention, in the past couple of years. Sexier than laser etching? As Makers often point out, there's a lot in the movement which is really very similar to what was happening in shop class. Though the trend may sound new, it's partly based on nostalgia. A neat aspect, though, is that much of it can happen through learners' projects cutting across class boundaries. Sure, we've known about project-based learning for a while. You do a project for a class or a series of classes. But how about a personal pathway (cf. "individualism", above) through which learners add learning experiences around a central project? Learning Circles can make that into something really neat.
I'm wondering if "the dream" -- at least as Coates sketches it out in the remainder of this paragraph -- has become a "war with the known world" for people without education and money. Is it about race or class. Robert Putnam makes a good case for the problem being about rising economic inequality in America, even as racial and sexual divisions have been lessening.
For the superiority of class over class is proportionate to the superiority possessed by their largest specimens.
Distinction of "class" - those who can be taught from those who lack sufficient innate moral character? The idea that people are born to either rise or fall.

What's the Deal With Moon Cake Trends
Tracy Lu	September 3, 2014
Whether you buy them, eat them, give them away or just want nothing to do with them, as the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, there's no escaping the billboard and bus stop ads pitching moon cakes.
The traditionally bland (compared to Western deserts) and odd textured pastries are widely considered an acquired taste, but pay a little closer attention to these promotions and you'll find that change is present. Some new flavors are for the adventurous only; it takes a certain breed to eat an abalone moon cake.
The change is an adjustment to a market that was suffering as the Chinese palate changed for richer treats. However, while attitudes are changing, behavior is not. Moon cakes, with a 2,000-year history, are eaten in tribute to the moon and family. Recently, new trends have bolstered sales as hotels, restaurants and coffee and flower shops join the market with their own versions.
To attract wealthier customers who care more about appearances than taste, makers of the lard-based deserts have promoted a series of so called "nutritional" or "health care" moon cakes made of expensive rare ingredients such as shark's fin and bird's nest. The skin-tightening collagen contained in these ingredients puts them in high demand among Chinese society, especially for women.
For others who can't afford the 1,000's of RMB for a case of moon cakes, regular Chinese medicine and tonic moon cakes can still be consumed. Popular choices include ginseng, goji (wolfberries) and dried longan flesh. Goji is known to be good for the eyes, while dried longan flesh is said to relieve insomnia and amnesia.
The newest mid-autumn novelty has to be the cocktail flavored versions sold by a high-end hotel. Others are pushing BBQ chicken-filled and coffee versions. But a favorite has to be pu'er tea moon cakes, which are technically just tea pressed into a moon cake shape.
Pu'er tea is a variety of fermented dark tea produced in Yunnan Province and can be aged to improve its flavor. Usually it is stored loose or pressed into various shapes. So it's a clever maneuver to combine tea and moon cake together. It's a drinkable moon cake; it's healthy and a great gift for tea lovers. It also can be kept for years, maintaining a quality taste.

The Nkandla story has experienced many an awkward press conference filled with convoluted logic and self-defeating arguments, with Cabinet ministers doing hairpin turns while claiming to be on the straight and narrow. But State Security Minister Siyabonga Cwele seemed hardly to be trying when, on November 21 2013, he utterly outclassed the competition, taking the prize for the most moronic thing ever done in defence of the presidential homestead.
"No one, including those in the media, [is] allowed to take images and publicise images, even pointing where the possible security features are," Cwele told a regular post-Cabinet media briefing, with reference to pictures of Nkandla.
Had the minister misspoken? Would he later amend and expand his remarks? Indeed, not. Under extended questioning, he insisted that publishing pictures of Nkandla was a criminal trespass against the National Key Points Act (NKPA), and that the media were being requested – not yet threatened with prosecution, but definitely asked – to refrain from doing so.
The media were not in a giving mood.
"So, arrest us," blared the front page of the the Times the next day. "The picture the state does not want you to see," said the Cape Times. "Look away: What ministers don't want you to see," read the Star.
Social media was well ahead of the outrage curve. Almost as soon as Cwele had made his call, South Africans started publishing photos of Nkandla, with everything from satellite images to children's drawings thrown in for good measure. The scent of insurrection was in the air.
The call was never repeated, and no action was ever taken. It turned out that the media had somehow, mysteriously, misconstrued the instruction, a government statement said the following day.
"[The] government has no problem with the media publishing pictures of national key points, including President Jacob Zuma''s Nkandla residence, as it is part of their line of duty," read the statement, in contrast to what had been said less than a day before.
"However, zooming into safety and security features of national key points is a challenge as it compromises national security."
It was the National Key Points Act that gave rise to the great picture insurrection of 2013.
The Act is a piece of apartheid legislation that was introduced in 1980 in response to struggle sabotage. It gave vast and sweeping powers to the defence minister at the time. Once a building or installation is designated a key point, the law says, a minister (initially of defence, later of police as structures shifted, but always somebody in the security cluster of ministries) may "take any necessary steps which, in his or her opinion, may be necessary for the security of these areas in relation to third parties".
In the case of Nkandla, the Act has been cited as a reason for the massive spending; for why that spending cannot be confirmed; why the details of how that spending was allocated cannot be discussed; and why pictures of Nkandla are illegal. Through process of attrition, those claims have mostly been rolled back.
But the Act wasn't the only officious defence brought into play.
The now infamous Ministerial Handbook quietly became an official document in February 2007, when it was approved by Cabinet. In the following years, it would be used primarily as a way to excuse government spending on flashy cars and expensive hotel stays according to the formulation, "It is allowed by the Ministerial Handbook".
That is exactly how Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi dealt with questions regarding Nkandla before, during and after the NKPA defence was invoked.
"I would like to state categorically that everything that has been approved and carried out at the private residence of the current president is in line with the Ministerial Handbook as far as it relates to security arrangements for private residences of the president," Nxesi told City Press in October 2012.
The beauty of the handbook defence was that it was considered a classified document, so, though cited, it could not be examined. What Nxesi failed to appreciate at the time was that the Mail & Guardian had obtained a copy of the secret handbook, and published it, in April 2011 (to much castigation from the government). And the handbook was clear: state spending on the security of ministers at their private residences was capped at R100 000.

For the last two years, War Front has reigned supreme at Tattersalls' Craven Sale but it was time for the next generation to shine on Wednesday as the Claiborne star's dual Grade 1-winning son The Factor took his turn in the spotlight.
Hammered down for a sum of 350,000gns was a colt (lot 106) from the first crop of the Lane's End resident, and though his price wasn't enough to top the sale, he led all juveniles in the final session. Jamie McCalmont placed the winning bid, seeing off stiff competition from Angus Gold, David Redvers, Ross Doyle and Richard Brown, and confirmed that the grey son of the Grade II-placed Sweet Belle (Deputy Commander) will return to America to race for a partnership of Coolmore and Stonestreet Stables. Roger O'Callaghan of Tally-Ho Stud selected the colt for $100,000 at Keeneland last September.
"He did a fabulous breeze, I don't think there is another here with a stride like him, and it was especially impressive as ground conditions weren't in his favour," noted McCalmont.
"This horse is very much like those by his sire that I have seen and he has a great constitution. He was still bucking in the pre-parade ring tonight."
The agent later signed for a colt by another first-season sire, Nathaniel (Ire) (lot 119), from the Mocklershill draft on behalf of Coolmore. The son of the Saratoga Grade III-placed Wait It Out (Swain) fetched 220,000gns, having cost $110,000 last September.
Twelve lots brought 200,000gns or more through a strong session at Park Paddocks. The second-day total of 5,094,000gns was down by 23% on last year's aggregate but from a smaller catalogue, with 14 fewer horses sold than in the corresponding session for 2015. The median rose by 25% to 100,000gns, and the average improved by 4% to 124,244gns, with the only significant decline being in the clearance rate of 73%, down from 86% on the same day last year.
For the sale as a whole, the reduction of lots offered to 107 from 121 meant that the 78 sold brought an overall tally of 8,641,500gns–down 13% on 2015. The median was a new record figure of 77,500gns (+9%) and the average also rose to 110,788gns (+8%). Again the decline came in the clearance rate, which at 73% fell by 8%.
U.S.-sired offspring have long been popular with buyers at British breeze-up sales and thus it proved again, with the four most expensive colts of the session being sons of The Factor, More Than Ready and the late Exchange Rate and Scat Daddy.
As darkness fell, Richard Brown of Blandford Bloodstock outgunned Charlie Gordon-Watson for lot 131, Lynn Lodge Stud's Exchange Rate grandson of GII Rare Perfume S. winner Topicount (Private Account). Proving every bit as adept as a seller of juveniles as he is a buyer of Grand National and Cheltenham Gold Cup winners, Eddie O'Leary received 340,000gns for the colt he bought for $140,000 at Keeneland.
Brown commented, "He is to go into training with Simon Crisford and is for an existing client. I love his physical, he is a straightforward colt and I think the sire is seriously under-rated."
Charlie Gordon-Watson was unsuccessful on the Exchange rate colt but he did make his presence felt in the Tattersalls ring on Wednesday evening, signing for five horses to add to the two bought on Tuesday to make him leading buyer at the sale. His signings included lot 82, the More Than Ready colt, at 300,000gns. The son of WinStar Farm's popular shuttler was another to be bought at Keeneland September and was a tremendous pinhooking result for Johnny Collins of Brown Island Stables, who bought him for just $17,000.
"He was backward looking and a bit pot-bellied as a yearling but he was always a great mover. The more he did, the more he improved," said Collins, who sold three juveniles at the sale for a total of 407,000gns.
Gordon-Watson was acting on behalf of a new unnamed client but confirmed that the son of four-time winner Rainbow Luck (Honour And Glory), a half-sister to GII Palomar H. winner City To City (City Zip), would be placed in training in Newmarket with Ed Dunlop. The agent also went to 150,000gns for a colt by Irish National Stud freshman Dragon Pulse (lot 97) from Yeomanstown Stud.
Completing the American-bred leading quartet was lot 90, Oak Tree Farm's colt by Scat Daddy, who is likely to end up in Hong Kong after being bought by Alastair Donald for 270,000gns.
The SackvilleDonald agent said, "He will go to Ed Walker from here–he might run in England or might go on to Hong Kong. We'll see how things work out. I am a big fan of the sire and this horse is a very balanced type and looks to have a temperament suitable for Hong Kong. I don't really go on times, it is more about action for me."
Bought for $150,000 as a yearling at Keeneland, the colt is out of the dual-winning El Prado mare Rosangela, who has produced two winners to date and is a daughter of GI Oaks Leaf S. winner Vivid Angel (Septieme Ciel).
Top of the fillies for the whole sale was lot 110, a daughter of Showcasing (GB) who was bought by Dubai Racing Club Chairman Saeed H Altayer for 220,000gns. Mike Marshall, assistant trainer in Newmarket to Ismael Mohammed, conducted the bidding and said, "We're very pleased to have her. She's a lovely filly and we had to fight hard for her. There were a couple we liked but the market has been very strong."
The filly, a sister to Shadwell's juvenile winner Mufarrid (GB), was another good result during the evening for Gay and David O'Callaghan of Yeomanstown Stud, who bought her as a foal from her breeder Nuthurst Farm for 85,000gns and retained her last year when bought in at 105,000gns.
Katie Walsh, who combines a breeze-up consigning career with her amateur jump jockey commitments, sold the second-most expensive filly of the sale in lot 86. The daughter of Kyllachy (GB) was another striking pinhooking success, having been bought for 23,000gns at October Book 3 by Walsh's Greenhills Farm and returned to Tattersalls as a 210,000gns breezer. The first foal of the dual winner Represent (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus})–a half-sister to G2 Bosphorous Cup winner Connecticut (GB) (New Approach {Ire})–was purchased by Simon Crisford.
As the sale concluded, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented, "The feature of the 2016 Craven Breeze-up Sale has been the strength of demand at the top of the market. The sale is a proven consistent source of top-class performers on the global stage and leading international buyers, most notably from the Gulf region and Hong Kong, have made a significant impact. This year's Craven catalogue is numerically the smallest this century and understandably the turnover has not matched last year's level, but there have been some outstanding pinhooking successes, more lots sold for 200,000gns and above than last year, a new record median and a sale average second only to the 2013 sale."
Action returns to Tattersalls for the Guineas Breeze-up and Horses-in-Training Sale, which takes place prior to the QIPCO Guineas meeting on April 28 and 29.

South Africa's big green job killing machine
Issued by Gwen Ngwenya MP – DA Member of the Finance Portfolio Committee
20 Nov 2018 in News
The following speech was delivered today in the National Assembly by DA Member of the Finance Committee, Gwen Ngwenya MP.
Insufficient jobs are being created in South Africa to absorb our labour force, and it is important that we explain how it is that the ANC – this big green job-killing machine – has systematically destroyed jobs in South Africa. The ANC machinery has deployed a two-pronged strategy to destroy jobs; and in turn to ensure that even if the majority are free from apartheid, they should never be free from the ANC.
The first assault is on education and the educated
One of the well-known figures of the French Revolution, Maximilien Robespierre, stated that "the secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant." More crudely "keep them stupid, keep them subservient." How else to describe the motive behind this government's poor management of the education system? So poorly mismanaged that the average learner who reaches Grade 4 cannot read for comprehension.
If there should have been one job for the post-democratic government to get right it was this: to educate people. Instead of young people filled with knowledge and promise, we hear grim stories of young people dying in pit toilets, filled with excrement.
To add insult to injury, for those who do manage to escape the dismal education system unscathed, for them the ANC bestows constant vilification. The clever black narrative has often been repeated in the ranks of the ANC, and this year by the EFF when Floyd Shivambu said: "There are a lot of whites who get clever blacks to front." Ndlozi too seemed to think I had to apologise for having a solid grip of the English language.
Jobs cannot be created and sustained in an environment where to be educated, to be articulate and, even worse, to question or follow a different path to the herd, is considered anti-black.
For many years my father was the principal at Vukuzakhe High School, a school in Umlazi township. My mother is a teacher too in Umlazi, at Zwelibanzi High School. Therefore, growing up I was aware of those two words: 'Vukuzakhe' (a meaningful translation would be to "wake up and build your own future") and 'Zwelibanzi' (meaning "an expansive land"), but I never paid them much attention.
I am, however, profoundly aware of them today because unwittingly they best describe the party that I, and many like me, have placed our confidence in. We want to create a society that carries the attitude that "you can do it". That education and hard work, not political connections, can take you far. And that ours is not a closed cabal of cadres but an open and expansive world filled with opportunity.
The ANC and the EFF despise clever blacks, because it is precisely the questioning, forward-looking South African who shuns and is embarrassed by ignorance. Those at home will know what it's like to listen to a mumbling, incoherent minister and to wonder how it is that this person is paid millions while many sit at home without a job. It is the clever black who shuns the opportunity to lick the boots of politicians and eat the scraps that fall from their table, because they want to make it on their own merits.
The ANC and the EFF have it wrong: "clever blacks", whether urban or rural, whether they have a university degree or not, have not forgotten where they come from, they are just determined not to remain stuck where they began.
The second assault has been on the private sector, in particular, business owners
There is no shortage of legislation targeted at making the lives of those who operate in the private sector more difficult. In South Africa, we work according to the motto that "if it works, fix it."
Illustratively, the private security industry employs close to half a million active officers, and yet the ANC saw it fit to introduce the Private Security Amendment Bill that threatens to bring the sector to its knees.
What conceivable reason is there to disrupt a sector that is in one shot providing jobs and filling the gaps left by SAPS? Like little children, our government must touch everything but unlike children, they don't learn.
Just last week in the finance committee I was lambasted by an ANC MP for defending the interests of capitalists. Of course, we defend capitalists. The ANC would have South Africans believe that the only capitalists are the likes of the Ruperts and the Oppenheimers. That was the same thinking of the apartheid architects – to keep black South Africans along a separate inferior path.
The ANC continues that mantra today: "education" and "capitalism", those things are for white people. An easy thing to say when you live off other people's money. Too many politicians, unfortunately, get on handsomely with no qualifications or business acumen, that they forget how the other half lives.
The rest of South Africa depends on entrepreneurs in the private sector to identify opportunities, to take risks that will hopefully reward not only themselves but others who benefit from the jobs they create.
And those entrepreneurs, or to borrow from Herman Mashaba, those "capitalist crusaders" are everywhere: in Stellenbosch and in Sandton, yes, but we see them too on the streets of eMlazi and Soweto. Internet cafe capitalists, shisanyama capitalists, all no less worthy of the title "capitalist" than those operating in the cities and in the suburbs.
But instead of rolling out the red carpet for all entrepreneurs we trip them up in poor infrastructure, a sparsely skilled labour force, and half-baked policy ideas from early 20th century Russia and East Asia. A pea-brained combination of communist sympathies mixed with the narcissistic state, I beg your pardon, the 'developmental' state.
Our country is run by a big green job-killing machine. It's killing the two things jobs cannot live without – education and business – by teaching its citizens that it is okay to hate both. Tell me how do jobs flourish if we hate clever blacks and private enterprise? The answer: they don't.
Whether it be through online campaigning, going door to door, or working at your local voting station on election day, you can help spread our message of change.

Binker and Moses - Feeding the Machine (Gearbox Records, 2022) ***½
By William Rossi
London musicians Binker Golding and Moses Boyd on saxophone and drums respectively have been making a name for themselves in the jazz scene over the last few years, Boyd going as far as being nominated for a Mercury Prize for his solo album in 2020 and Golding leading his quartet and participating in a trio with John Edwards & Steve Noble. When their solo careers aren't keeping them too busy they collaborate as the Nu-Jazz duo Binker and Moses.
While most nu-jazz takes major inspiration from funk and hip-hop this album showcases the couple choosing a different path, opting to pick their contaminations from the British electronic music scene, dub and breakbeat mainly.
After 5 years since their last duo effort they've finally decided to come back for this new release, assisted by Max Luther on tape loops and electronics. Feeding the Machine is a remarkably easy album to listen to. The first track "Asynchronous Intervals" is a blissful meditation, with Binker's saxophone chasing after itself through a soundscape of processed sax and atmospheric drums. His playing is very lyrical, bluesy and straightforward, clearly inspired by the greats we're all familiar with, never letting itself be bogged down by pointless flash: he rarely plays "outside" or makes use of extended techniques, only choosing to do so sporadically. Some of the more demanding listeners could dismiss this kind of playing as unadventurous but knowing what Binker is capable of in different contexts I'm confident this was a deliberate choice in order to keep the album anchored to the Jazz tradition in contrast with the modern contaminations, contaminations that take center stage on "Active-Multiple-Fetish-Overlord", in which the dubby effects morph all the instruments almost beyond recognition or on "After The Machine Settles'', where Max Luthert's tapes and manipulations turn the signal fed into them into a primordial soup of echoes and reverbs where even a single snare hit is made into a glitchy electronic scream.
Luthert's contributions aren't limited to being so overt and can be much subtler, like the sub-bass on "Accelerometer Overdose" that provides a foundation for Binker's sax solo or the rhythmic modular synth on "Feed Infinite" that plays off Moses' drums to create a polyrhythmic canvass for the duo to shine, and shine they do: on "Feed Infinite" the drumming really takes center stage and Moses shows off his chops, an exercise maybe at its apex on "Accelerometer Overdose", which lives up to its name with newfound physicality and energy, the drums exploding into a breakbeat worthy of an Aphex Twin track.
There's hints of a narrative throughout the record: it starting out with clearer classic jazz influences and the electronics becoming more and more prominent throughout, culminating on the first half of "After The Machine Settles" from which the duo emerges with novel confidence to embrace their more bop and blues identity, the last track "Because Because" being very similar to the first one in mood and structure, ending with its sax almost sounding like birds chirping at dawn welcoming you to a new day.
What this narrative implies is open to interpretation, at least to me: it could be about life's cyclicality, the unstoppable growth of industry (not synonymous with progress), the need for different cultures to influence each other to evolve into something better, positive and negative interpretations that depending on the audience's mood at the time of listening could trump the others but none that feels definitive; all you know when finishing the album is that it ended way too quickly and while the machine might have been fed you're not even close to being done with trying to absorb all this great album has to offer and you just press play again.

For de genuine work by Aristotwe, see On de Heavens.
On de Universe (Greek: Περὶ Κόσμου; Latin: De mundo) is a deowogicaw and scientific treatise incwuded in de Corpus Aristotewicum but usuawwy regarded as spurious. Likewy pubwished between 350 and 200 BC, de work discusses cosmowogicaw, geowogicaw, and meteorowogicaw subjects, awongside a consideration of de rowe an independent god pways in maintaining de universe.
According to Johan C. Thom, De mundo "attempts to provide an expwanation of de rowe of god in preserving and maintaining de cosmos whiwe at de same time uphowding de notion of his transcendence and independence." This view is decidedwy non-Aristotwean, given dat Aristotwe bewieved in an non-transcendent unmoved mover. Whiwe de work is mostwy in de Peripatetic stywe estabwished by Aristotwe, ewements of Pwatonic, Stoic, and Neopydagorean phiwosophy permeates it (which Thom argues is indicative of its post-Aristotwean audorship). Awongside its deowogicaw considerations, it awso discusses cosmowogicaw, geowogicaw, and meteorowogicaw subjects.
In de Middwe Ages, it was widewy bewieved dat De mundo was a genuine product of Aristotwe. However, in de 20f century, de Neopwatonic phiwowogist André-Jean Festugière argued dat de work was not genuinewy written by Aristotwe, and as such de audor is referred to now as Pseudo-Aristotwe.
Wiwhewm Capewwe [de] (Neue Jahrbücher, 1905), traced most of de doctrines to de Greek Stoic phiwosopher Posidonius.
The date of de work is uncertain; it has been argued dat it was composed before 250 BC or between 350 and 200 BC. It is found under de Bekker numbers 391–401. It shouwd not be confused wif On de Heavens.
After its originaw pubwication in Greek, de work was transwated to Latin by Apuweius, into Syriac by Sergius of Reshaina and dree distinct Arabic versions.
