Author ID’s: enhance visibility and accessibility: Workshop 2
No full textPapers presented at the second workshop on Author ID’s: enhance visibility and accessibility , Auditorium, Merensky Library, University of Pretoria, 28 October 2015Follow up on the first workshop (Researcher ID Workshop), the aim of this workshop was to continue discussion on the information specialists' role in enhancing research visibility and accessibility. A large part of the workshop was devoted to a discussion and practical demonstration of ORCID ID by Mr Matthew Buys, the Regional Director of ORCID. Author IDs were also discussed from different perspectives, including a junior information specialist (Ms Lesego Makhafola); a cataloguer (Ms Martha De Waal); a researcher (Prof. Estelle Venter) and a case study at GIBS (Ms Beulah Muller).mn201

The Passion of Estelle Jordan
No full textSometimes the characters in Ernest Hebert\u27s Darby Chronicles hew close to real life. When the author was a college student pulling shifts part time at a hospital laundry, he worked alongside a woman in her fifties--unadorned, sweet-natured, and with long gray-black hair that was her pride. Nights, Hebert frequented the beer bar in Keene, New Hampshire, where he encountered a sassy, self-empowered, forty-something bleached blonde who could bamboozle any man she met. Borrowing qualities from these women, Hebert would shape one of his most memorable characters: Estelle, the witch of the Jordan clan.
A major character in earlier Darby novels A Little More Than Kin and Whisper My Name, Estelle takes center stage in The Passion of Estelle Jordan. Presently she is sliding into late middle age, drawn to two lovers who could not be more different: the widowed farmer Avalon Hillary and a mysterious young punk Estelle calls Trans Am in honor of the car he drives. And there\u27s a threat, not to Estelle--she can take care of herself--but to Noreen Cook, a younger woman Estelle sees as a version of her own secret, vulnerable self. Putting herself in Noreen\u27s shoes to save her, Estelle may be in for way more than she bargained for. The Passion of Estelle Jordan, like that of Christ, is rife with sin, suffering, sacrifice, and perhaps redemption.
The Passion of Estelle Jordan is for anyone--male or female--going through a change of life
Conservation breeding and production
No full textLe développement des marchés de niche pour les systèmes de production biologique et à faibles niveaux d'intrants répond à une diversification des demandes des consommateurs, en particulier pour des produits traditionnels, biologiques et/ou locaux, et qui ont bon goût. Ces systèmes de production ont besoin d'une large gamme de variétés – de pays, anciennes, paysannes, populations – adaptables à des pratiques agronomiques diverses, dans le but d'accroître la résilience des agroécosystèmes et de faire face aux changements climatiques. Plusieurs projets de Sélection Participative faisant appel à de nouveaux types de variétés, d'organisation de la sélection et de la production de semences ont ainsi vu le jour ces dernières années en Europe. Cependant, la grande diversité d'expériences et d'initiatives en Sélection Participative n'est pas assez prise en compte dans les politiques et les lois européennes sur les semences. Le projet Farm Seed Opportunities (« Les Chances des Semences Paysannes ») – FSO, du 6e Programme Cadre Européen (2007-2009), a été construit pour servir de soutien à la mise en oeuvre des réglementations sur les « variétés de conservation » (directive 98/95/CE et nouvelles directives 2008/62/CE et 2009/145/CE) et pour proposer des scénarios réglementaires complémentaires intégrant la diversité des systèmes semenciers européens. Il est une collaboration entre paysans et scientifiques d'Espagne, de France, d’Italie, des Pays-Bas, du Royaume-Uni et de Suisse
