Number 43, Trelawney Park, a modest house in a suburb of Manzini,
Swaziland, was for many years a vital base of operations for the
ANC. The house was known as KwaMagogo ("place of the grandmother"),
after Rebecca Makgomo Masilela – the author's mother – who provided
sustenance and support to the cadres who operated from Swaziland
during the liberation struggle. The title tells the stories of the
ANC and PAC cadres who passed through Number 43, revealing their
hopes and fears, and highlighting the high price that was paid for
liberation. There is also fascinating background on high-profile
operations, such as the Church Street bombing, and the activities
of Eugene de Kock, Craig Williamson and Dirk Coetzee, as well as
the defection of Glory September – 'turned' by the security police
in 1986 – which unleashed a reign of terror in Swaziland.
A field-tested, classroom-based approach for developing the
critical thinking, social-emotional, problem-solving, and
discussion skills students need to be good citizens and effective
changemakers. We often hear that a key purpose of schooling is to
prepare students for informed and active citizenship. But what does
this look like in practice? How do teachers pursue this goal amid
other pressing priorities, including student mastery of both
academic content and social-emotional competencies? Students Taking
Action Together, based on a program of the same name developed at
Rutgers University, clarifies that the way to prepare young people
for life in a democracy is by intentionally rehearsing democratic
behaviors in the classroom. This field-tested program ("STAT" for
short) is built on five research-backed teaching strategies that
work with existing social studies, English language arts, and
history curriculum in the upper-elementary, middle, and high school
levels. Incorporating these strategies into your lessons is a way
to meet students' natural desire to be heard with skill-building
that empowers them to Adhere to norms of civil conversation, even
when topics are controversial and emotions are high; Speak
confidently and listen actively; Engage in respectful debate aimed
at understanding issues rather than winning points; Target
communication to different audiences, needs, and contexts; and
Examine problems from many sides, considering potential solutions,
drawing up action plans, and evaluating these plans' effectiveness
against historical examples. In addition to vignettes that show the
five STAT strategies in action, you'll find practical teaching tips
and sample STAT lesson plans. For school leaders, there is a road
map for schoolwide STAT implementation and guidance on
communicating the program's value to stakeholders. Are you ready to
help students understand complex content, confront pressing social
issues, and engage with the structures of power to advocate for
change? This book is for you.
Triple bill of zombie films. 'Zombie Apocalypse' (2011) is a
made-for-TV horror starring Ving Rhames in which a group of human
survivors of a zombie outbreak set out to make it to an uninfected
island. Ramona (Taryn Manning), Billy (Eddie Steeples) and Kevin
(Gerald Webb) are almost killed when they head out to search for
food. Fortunately for them, they meet a tough group that includes
Henry (Rhames) and Cassie (Lesley-Ann Brandt), who take on the
zombies with weapons as diverse as a sledgehammer and a samurai
sword. 'Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies' (2012) is a tongue-in-cheek
zombie horror in which Abraham Lincoln is distracted from his
composition of the Gettysburg Address by a more pressing concern -
an outbreak of the undead. Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) leads a team
of Secret Service agents to the area to try and contain the
disaster. There is a suggestion that Lincoln may have some
experience of dealing with zombies from his past and he takes under
his wing a youngster by the name of Teddy Roosevelt (Canon
Kuipers), who may have a role of his own to play in the American
story. 'The Dead' (2010) is a zombie horror set in West Africa.
Robert Freeman stars as Lieutenant Brian Murphy, a military
engineer who finds himself stranded in the wilderness of Burkina
Faso after a zombie outbreak lays waste to civilisation. Eventually
he teams up with Sergeant Daniel Dembele (Prince David Oseia), a
local soldier who has gone AWOL from the army to search for his
missing son.
Digital transformation continues to accelerate change in all
aspects of modern life. This book examines when, where, how, and
why artificial intelligence and digital change can boost innovation
and transform the economy, society and democracy. It provides a
holistic approach to the promotion of the knowledge economy,
knowledge society and knowledge democracy. The book is developed
based on the Cyber-D4 nexus, which is a conceptual framework of
Cyber-Defense, Cyber-Development, Cyber-Democracy, and
Cyber-Diplomacy, and it adopts a Quadruple/Quintuple Innovation
Helix (Q2IH) approach. This nexus ties new national and industrial
cyber strategies, including business strategies for smart cities
and the Internet of Things, with the local, national, regional, and
global security and economic objectives. Academics, policy makers,
practitioners, researchers and students in combined fields of
science, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, digital
transformation, artificial intelligence and the future of industry
will appreciate the lens through which the chapter authors explore
both the minutiae and expansive influence of digital
transformation.
