Experiencing the armed struggle : the Soweto generation and after
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 354-369).This study explores the experiences of the rank-and-file soldiers of Umkhonto we Sizwe and the Azanian People's Liberation Anny. Extensive interviews by the author and other researchers reveal the voices of the soldiers themselves. The African National Congress and Pan African Congress archives at the University of the Western Cape and the University of Fort Hare supplement and verify these oral testimonies, as do some published sources. Most previously published materials about the armed struggle against apartheid have already focused on diplomacy, strategy and tactics, operations, leadership, and human rights abuses to the neglect of the soldiers' actual experiences. This study complements these with significant new oral history materials from the Soweto generation of soldiers and their successors. When dealing with MK, many authors have documented issues of the camp structure in Angola, and operations inside South Africa, so much of this detail is only addressed briefly, leaving space to explore the soldiers' experiences. In the case of APLA, very little has been written on its history, and more detail is provided on these subjects. This study therefore deals with the soldiers' politicisation and motivation for joining the armed struggle, their experiences in leaving South Africa and training in exile, the crises in exile which limited their effectiveness for a time, their return to fight in South Africa, and their difficulties in the "new" South Africa. These materials reveal that vast problems remain facing these veterans of the struggle against apartheid, and that they have the potential, if properly supported and employed, to contribute substantially to the development of present day South Africa. Conversely, if their neglect continues, they also have the potential to bring vast harm to the country. Further use of the investigative tools of oral history, especially if extended to the former soldiers' vernacular languages, is necessary to augment the history of South Africa, and these soldiers' contributions

MEMO GRAPH: An Ontology Visualization Tool for Everyone
No full textAbstractThis paper presents a user-friendly tool, called MEMO GRAPH, for visualizing and navigating ontologies. Compared to related work, MEMO GRAPH is designed to be used by everyone, including ontology experts and users not familiar with ontologies. It provides an accessible and understandable user interface that follows the “design-for-all” philosophy. Precisely, it offers an Alzheimer's patients-friendly interface. The MEMO GRAPH ontology visualization tool is integrated in the CAPTAIN MEMO memory prosthesis and it is applied for visualizing a small-scale ontology (PersonLink) and a large-scale ontology (DBpedia). We discuss the encouraging results derived from the preliminary empirical evaluation, which confirms that MEMO GRAPH is an intuitive and usable ontology visualization tool
The Monday Memo
No full textEffective school leaders are effective communicators, although their methods and styles of communication vary. Some are eloquent speakers, others effective writers, and some communicate through modeling. However, virtually all effective leaders are consistent, authentic communicators and attentive, respectful listeners, yet communicating within the school environment is very challenging. Most teachers, counselors, and other support staff members are isolated, working in separate rooms away from their peers and facing constant demands for their time and attention from students and parents. Time available for full faculty and staff meetings is scarce--in some secondary schools, it is nearly nonexistent. As a result, effective school leaders consistently seek and implement concrete strategies for enhancing communication. One such strategy is the Monday Memo--a weekly memo written by the principal for the school\u27s staff members. The Monday Memo is an easy way to establish lines of communication in a school to foster professional relationships and morale. As a former high school principal and a current trainer of principals, the author suggests taking this a step further--to a written, weekly memo to all faculty and staff members. Often effective leadership activities are not profound and yet produce powerful results, the weekly memo is one such activity. In the memo, principals should include what the author terms level one and level two communication. Both first level communication--such as announcements--and second level communication--such as messages that motivate and sustain vision--can be accomplished in a short regular missive. One hour a week dedicated to written communication can result in great benefits in better relationships and informed staff members
