A most interesting study group is taking place at WITS University this week. Mathematicians will attempt to find a solution to the problem of Rhino poaching. International mathematicians and graduate students will converge at Wits University next week to help solve various industry problems during the 2013 Mathematics in Industry Study Group (MISGSA) Workshop. With more than 600 rhinos poached in ... »
There has through the history of modern man been a tendency to place people in little boxes. Or perhaps as it is more often called: labeling. Warning: Rant to follow. Now I realize that this is probably just human nature and that it is something that happens quite naturally and mostly this is an involuntary reaction when meeting someone new. I do not think it is always a cognitive (new word alert)... »
This was quite the busy weekend for me seeing as how 2 of my friends had Birthday parties. It also so happens that my Mom is celebrating her birthday next week (she has been turning 25 for the last 14 years but who am I to question that?). All these Birthdays were cause for a whole lot of gift shopping and as I was wandering the aisles of the stores I started wondering where the custom of gift giv... »
As you all know I had a previous rant about a certain Mr Ronald Weinland who predicted stated that Jesus was to return on the 27th of May 2012. You will remember that he was up on 5 charges of tax evasion and that the court date was set for the 4th of June 2012 (conveniently for him after the end of the world). As it turned out the world is just fine and he did indeed have to appear in court where... »
In African News… Zimbabwe has decided to fight the scourge of HIV AIDS by ensuring that their cabinet ministers are all circumcised. In fact they have quite the drive on circumcising men at the moment and according to this article are hoping to reach at least 5MIL people through their campaign. Now I understand that there have been some studies on this since 2005 and the hypothesis was even featur... »
Here in South Africa we have a grilled chicken franchise by the name of Nando’s. If you have not had the good fortune of having a meal there please do so for I understand they are also available in the USA and the UK. To be honest though it is not only their meals but particularly their ad campaigns that are superb! At times they are naughty…very naughty but the common factor is that you will alw... »
My Dad has the dirty habit of sneaking up on me and giving me terrible frights – especially in the dark. Early yesterday morning I was standing in the Kitchen (it was real early so it was still dark) and he snuck up behind me and poked me in the ribs while yelling WHAAAAAAAA! Now I am certain if you think back carefully – regardless of where in the world you live – you will clearly rem... »
Well at least according to Ronald Weinland it is. Of course I think he is delusional but hey, that’s just me. Hold on to your chairs people because the official date according to Mr Weinland is the 27th of May 2012. As readers of this site know, May 27, 2012, is the time that I have stated as being the date Jesus Christ will return as King of kings over all government on this earth. For such an e... »
