On the night of 30 October 2002, eight bomb blasts tore through Soweto,
leaving one woman dead and damaging vital infrastructure. The bombs
were the work of a far-right white Afrikaner separatist group called
the Boeremag, whose stated aim was to overthrow the ruling ANC
government, rid the country of black people and reinstate a new
Boer-administered republic. For months before the bombings, police had
been investigating the terror group and had made several arrests. In
December, after an intense cross-country manhunt, the perpetrators were
finally caught. All in all, 23 men were arrested and charged with high
treason after the police seized explosives, homemade pipe bombs,
weapons and ammunition in arms caches hidden all over the country.
The trial began in May 2003 under tight security at the Palace of
Justice in Pretoria. Over the next decade, in what became the longest
and most expensive trial in the country’s history, details would emerge
of a group driven by nationalism, racism, militancy and fear. The
public would hear how a fanatical belief in the visions of a
19th-century Boer prophet named Siener van Rensburg culminated in an
ultimately unsuccessful attempt to assassinate former president Nelson
Mandela and initiate a coup.
The High Treason Club is the story of the Boeremag, the investigation
that brought them down and the subsequent trial, the first of its kind
in democratic South Africa. Based on exclusive interviews, as well as
thousands of pages of court transcripts and documentary evidence, this
book elegantly unpacks a complex case and gives unprecedented insight
into the various role-players and their motivations.
The questions are based on the Income Tax Act 1962, Tax Administration Act 2011, VAT Act 1991, Estate Duty Act 1955 and the Transfer Duty Act 1949, incorporating recent amendments.
The questions in this book are based on the Income Tax Act 1962, the Tax Administration Act 2011, the Value-Added Tax Act 1991, the Estate Duty Act 1955 and the Transfer Duty Act 1949, incorporating amendments up to and including the Rates and Monetary Amounts and Amendment of Revenue Laws Bill [B26 €“ 2020].
The early 2000s were still a time of optimism and exuberance in newly democratic South Africa. Transformations were afoot, and there was a courageous desire for change, even with the stark realities of HIV and AIDS-related illnesses looming. At the 13th International AIDS Conference in Durban in 2000, Nkosi Johnson, aged 11, took the stage to give an impassioned speech emphasizing the importance of young people in responding to the AIDS pandemic. His call heralded an explosion of youth-focused initiatives, including the project that started this book. In My life follows the paths of a group of racially diverse young AIDS activists from Khayelitsha and Atlantis, first brought together as part of an educational HIV-prevention programme in Cape Town in 2002.
Over the next twenty years, we follow their inspiring and harrowing journeys, as they move from hopeful and passionate teen activists, through the tragedies and triumphs of transitioning to adulthood. With candour, they tell stories of hardships and loss, mental health issues, grief and violence, but also of personal transformations, love, friendship, artistic achievements, community connection and thrilling social justice wins. Connected to each other, and to their communities, their stories provide a glimpse into the long tale of activism and of educational work, forever asking the question: what difference does it make.
As the early post-apartheid enthusiasm and activism transformed and changed, stories have been a place where one could find solace and refuge, or find ways to be connected again. The stories in In My Life reflect the shifting times and context in South Africa, the transformation of the country and the complicated life stories of everyday life in the cracks of those who are artists, writers, creators, activists, researchers, teachers and many other things in between and beyond.
According to the United Nations, the number of people aged 60 years
or over in the world is projected to be 1.4 billion in 2030 and 2.1
billion in 2050. Endocrinologists and other clinicians face the
challenge of caring for the elderly. To do so, they need to
incorporate geriatric principles into their clinical practice.
Endocrinology of Aging: Clinical Aspects in Diagrams and Images
presents chapters in a way that allows the reader to incorporate
concepts and main facts of complex subjects in a visual way. As the
global population becomes older, the need for a deeper
understanding of geriatric pathology increases, and with it, the
access to educational resources for the endocrinology and
metabolism of aging.

Over the years, psychologists have devoted uncountable hours to
learning how human beings make judgments and decisions. As much
progress as scholars have made in explaining what judges do over
the past few decades, there remains a certain lack of depth to our
understanding. Even where scholars can make consensual and
successful predictions of a judge's behavior, they will often
disagree sharply about exactly what happens in the judge's mind to
generate the predicted result. This volume of essays examines the
psychological processes that underlie judicial decision making. The
first section of the book takes as its starting point the fact that
judges make many of the same judgments and decisions that ordinary
people make and considers how our knowledge about judgment and
decision-making in general applies to the case of legal judges. In
the second section, chapters focus on the specific tasks that
judges perform within a unique social setting and examine the
expertise and particular modes of reasoning that judges develop to
deal with their tasks in this unique setting. Finally, the third
section raises questions about whether and how we can evaluate
judicial performance, with implications for the possibility of
improving judging through the selection and training of judges and
structuring of judicial institutions. Together the essays apply a
wide range of psychological insights to help us better understand
how judges make decisions and to open new avenues of inquiry into
the influences on judicial behavior.

Public radio stands as a valued national institution, one whose
fans and listeners actively support it with their time and their
money. In this new history of this important aspect of American
culture, author Jack W. Mitchell looks at the dreams that inspired
those who created it, the all too human realities that grew out of
those dreams, and the criticism they incurred from both sides of
the political spectrum. As National Public Radio's very first
employee, and the first producer of its legendary "All Things
Considered," Mitchell tells the story of public radio from the
point of view of an insider, a participant, and a thoughtful
observer. He traces its origins in the progressive movement of the
20th century, and analyzes the people, institutions, ideas,
political forces, and economic realities that helped it evolve into
what we know as public radio today. NPR and its local affiliates
have earned their reputation for thoughtful commentary and
excellent journalism, and their work is especially notable in light
of the unique struggles they have faced over the decades. More than
any other book published on the subject, Mitchell's provides an
accurate guide to public radio's development, offering a balanced
analysis of how it has fulfilled much of its promise but has
sometimes fallen short. This comprehensive overview of their
mission will fascinate listeners whose enjoyment and support of
public radio has made it possible, and made it great.
European explorers were captivated by the seemingly endless bounty
of natural resources on Cape Cod Bay. One Englishman declared that
the codfish were so thick one "could" walk on their backs. Early
settlers quickly learned how to harness the bay's resources and
excelled at shore whaling, shipping and salt making. But as these
new industries flourished, the native Wampanoag, who helped the
fledgling colony to take root, nearly vanished. Author Theresa
Mitchell Barbo's skillful narrative weaves together the natural and
cultural histories of the bay, highlighting some of the region's
diverse milestones- from the drafting of the Mayflower Compact in
1620 to the establishment of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant 350
years later. "Cape Cod Bay: A History of Salt & Sea" inspires
new appreciation for this storied and stunning seascape, and
underscores the importance of new efforts to preserve the bay's
unique ecosystem.
