There are a number of books on meeting procedure in Australia and New Zealand.
CAUTION: Your organisation may use a book called "Robert's Rules" (often referred to as RONR) – be careful as this is an American book which uses significantly different terminology from Australia and also covers issues which are peculiarly North American.
Robert's Rules is not an appropriate book to use in Australia in my opinion as it uses different and sometimes conflicting terminology and also goes into minute detail (700 pages) which is rarely needed in meetings in Australia.
These are the books which I recommend. I am the author of one and co-author of another.

Melody, I totally agree. My library card is the best piece of plastic in
my wallet! I have a collection of all the library cards I've ever had -
Homewood, Chicago, U of Iowa, etc. - I'm thinking of using one of those
composite frames and filling it with the cards!

>>one of the truly memorable moments of my life was
getting my first library card at the public library a few weeks later. I
will never forget the intense feeling of awe and sheer joy that card
gave me...literally a passport

We studied methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)–colonized children with multiple intensive care unit (ICU) admissions to assess the persistence of MRSA colonization. Our data found that children with more than 1 year between ICU admissions had a higher prevalence of MRSA colonization than the overall ICU population, which supports empirical contact precautions for children with previous MRSA colonization.

Statistical Word of the Week
Week #17 - Bootstrapping
of the bootstrap is to assess the accuracy of an estimate based on a sample of data from a larger population. Consider the sample mean. The best way to find out how lots of different sample means turn out is to actually draw them. Lacking the real universe to draw samples from, we need a proxy universe that embodies everything we know about the real universe, and which we can use to draw samples from.
One resampling technique is to replicate the sample data a huge number of times to create a proxy universe based entirely on our sample. After all, the sample itself usually embodies everything we know about the population that spawned it, so it´s often the best starting point for creating an artificial proxy universe, from which we can draw resamples, and observe the distribution of the statistic of interest.
A shortcut is to simply sample with replacement from the original sample. By sampling with replacement, each sample observation has 1/n probability of being selected each time - just as if you were drawing without replacement from an infinitely large replicated universe. This technique is called the bootstrap.
Drawing resamples with replacement from the observed data, we record the means found in a large number of resamples. Looking over this set of means, we can read the values that bound 90% or 95% of the entries. (a bootstrap confidence interval)
For comparison: The Classical Statistics World
In classical statistics, we still invoke the concept of the larger universe. However, rather than creating a proxy universe and actually drawing from it, classical statistics works from a mathematical description of this larger universe, based on information provided by the sample (typically mean and standard deviation), and assumptions of normality.
It is important to note that both the resampling and classical approaches make inferences about the larger population starting from the same point - the observed sample. If the observed sample is way off base, both approaches are in trouble.
Reasons for using a bootstrap approach include the fact that it makes no assumption concerning the distribution of the data, and the fact that it can assess the variability of virtually any statistic.
The bootstrap procedure was suggested by Julian Simon, an economist, in a 1969 research methods text. Bradley Efron coined the term "bootstrap" in 1979, and developed and elaborated the method in the statistical literature starting in 1979.

Bye, bye Brokers?
In general I oppose the minimum Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) provision of the Affordable Care Act. If an insurer can help keep me healthy and out of the hospital and doctor's office I'm happy to pay them to do so. But I have to admit I'm pleased that the new MLR rules are putting the squeeze on brokers. See Will health care law be a job-killer for insurance brokers?
Brokers usually serve smaller companies and individuals; they often receive 10 or 15 or even 30 percent of the premium as commission. The commissions are paid by health plans, which have relied on brokers to deliver the business and have been scared to alienate them. But those commissions are part of a plan's administrative expense. When the going gets tough –for example as the total administrative cost is capped at 15 to 20 percent of premiums– plans decide they'd rather use those precious dollars to pay their employees, cover overhead costs and make profits rather than seeing cash flow out the door to brokers. Already commissions are being cut and brokers are starting to be forced to try to collect revenues from the companies that purchase health insurance rather than the health plans.
Although brokers claim to add a lot of value, in practice most have mainly just driven costs up. For example, it's in most companies' interests to stay with one health plan over a long period of time. It keeps transition costs low and makes longer-term interventions such as disease management pay off. But brokers tend to churn through plans. Switching plans frequently lets brokers earn more money: they can shop around for the plan that pays them the highest commission, and take advantage of the fact that commissions can be higher for new business than renewals. Switching plans also makes it look like they're working hard, rather than being lazy by just recommending a renewal. Many small business owners have no clue how brokers operate and get taken advantage of as a result.
The coming health insurance exchanges and greater ability for small businesses and individuals to compare plans head to head will make it harder and harder for brokers to stay in business. Some really good brokers –and let me say clearly that there are some out there– can find a way to add value. But plans and purchasers are likely to be tougher customers in the future. That's as it should be.
Repeal proponents have said the Affordable Care Act is "job-killing." When it comes to brokers' jobs they are likely right. I say Amen!

Swimmers get set for Districts
High school swimmers will invade Cumberland Valley High School this weekend for the District Three Championships.
Action begins this Friday afternoon from 5-6:30 p.m. with six AAA girls events to be contested. The AAA boys will then take over the pool with those same six events from 7:30-9 p.m.
Action resumes Saturday with the remaining five events. The girls session runs from 3-4:15 p.m. while the boys go from 5:15 to 6:30 p.m.
The Cocalico trio of Olivia Evans, sidney Evans and Samantha Marino earned the highest seeds among local swimmers heading to the championships.
Olivia Evans earned the number three seed in the 100 backstroke (59.12), and is ninth overall heading into the 100 fly (59.36). Marino has garnered the fifth seed in the girls 200 freestyle with a time of 1:55.69, and is also seeded eighth in the 100 back (1:00.61). Sidney Evans is ranked seventh in the 200 I.M. (2:13.18) and is 10th in the 500 free (5:17.89).
On the boys' side, Cocalico's Collin Haines is the lone local swimmer competing at the championships. The junior is seeded ninth in the 200 I.M. (2:03.25) and is 12th in the 100 free (49.45).
In addition to those top four swimmers, other individuals slated to compete from Ephrata and Cocalico, along with their events and seedings, are as follows:
Katie Zell, Ephrata, seeded 12th in the 200 I.M. (2:13.61) & 17th in the 100 breast (1:10.30); Layne Gable, Cocalico, seeded 23rd in the 100 fly (1:02.76) & 30th in the 200 I.M. (2:20.89); Kyra Valent, Ephrata, seeded 28th in the 500 free (5:35.99); and Brittany Reeder, Ephrata, seeded 29th in the 100 back (1:04.86).

The electric double layer capacitor uses a physical mechanism that generates an electric double layer to perform the function of dielectric. The charge-discharge factor in the element of electric double layer capacitors is an ion absorption layer, which is formed on the surface of the positive and negative electrodes of activated carbon to utilize absorption-desorption reactions.
There are two types of electrolytes used in electric double layer capacitors. One type is water soluble and the other is non-water soluble. The non-water soluble electrolyte can increase the withstand voltage per one cell compared to water soluble electrolyte. Panasonic's Gold Capacitors are constructed with non-water soluble electrolyte, and feature a small size and light weight.
Gold capacitors are frequently used as substitutions for secondary batteries because of their small size and high capacitance offering. Additionally, gold capacitors have been in the spotlight as a hybrid power supply system for their use with solar cells

Indefatigable Figurehead refurbishment : Phase One Photo Diary
Indefatigable Figurehead refurbishment 2014: The condition of King Billy has been one of great concern for many years. Therefore unless we the IOBA intervened it would deteriorate further. As for ownership of 'King Billy', the Merseyside Maritime Museum – Liverpool (MMM) have full rights over ownership as the IOBA gifted King Billy to them in 1998.
Inde Figure Head 1930 aboard Phaeton in the Mersey.
Indefatigable Figurehead as most of OBs will remember him.
IOBA Committee handover King Billy to MMM 1998.
King Billy until work started September 2016.
Agreed at the 2014 AGM, the IOBA commissioned 'Richard Hunter, Figurehead Historian' to carry out a full report on the condition of King Billy. A full inspection was carried out by Richard on 11th November 2014, with the IOBA in attendance. We received the full written report on 20th November, which concluded urgent restoration was needed to reverse the decline. So members of the IOBA set the ball rolling for any forthcoming sponsors, including the MMM. The cost of the report was £160 as agreed at the 2014 AGM.
The report concluded that full restoration would cost £2,500 made up of two payments of 50%. Full details are within the report and is available on request from Steve Humphries (available to fully paid members of the IOBA).
On the 13th May 2015 the 'Curator of Maritime History and Technology (MMM)' reported that the MMM was unable to allocate any funds from the current or next years financial year towards the 'King Billy Figurehead restoration project. The Museum stated that the figurehead was in a stable condition, but obviously in need of work, therefore the decision of the IOBA was whether to wait to see if the museum could allocate funds from future budgets, or whether the IOBA felt the work needed to be undertaken, meaning the full cost being met by IOBA.'
The Museum spent some time looking at grants but alas none fitted this type of object or which the MMM is eligible to apply for.
Indefatigable Figurehead refurbishment 2015: Richard Hunter planned to work on King Billy towards late summer 2015, then the Museum had been instructed that our monies had to go direct via them rather straight to Richard Hunter, and so the money £2.5k was given to the MMM. All funds we donated to the MMM remained ring-fenced for this project, and the 'Curator' continued to liaise with Richard.
Indefatigable Figurehead refurbishment 2016: Work on the figurehead first phase started on 5th September, and a Photo Diary will be updated here with;
Refurbisment Phase One
We would like to personally thank all those members of the IOBA for the incredible generosity for raising £2.500 needed for the project, and £1,000 from an IOBA member who wishes to remain anonymous. Our thanks also goes to Richard Hunter, Figurehead Historian and Ben Whittaker – Curator of Maritime History and Technology.

Gauteng page[edit]
Hi Jcw69, I see that you're working on the Gauteng page, and it's nice. There are a few things I don't understand, though:
- I listed the population figure of 8.8, which I found in the 2001 cencus data. You listed 7.3 million (actually, you listed 7.3 billion...) in the box - where did you get that figure? One figure should be agreed upon and used throughout the article.
- I think the population figure belongs in the introduction paragraphs, right next to the land area figure - instead of moving it all the way down to the "demographics" section. The "... second most populated province of south africa" just begs to be followed by the actual population number, and this is how I originally wrote it.
- In the demographics section, what does "languages spoken" mean? Obviously, many South African are bilingual. Are you counting people whose mother tounge is a certain language, people who can speak a certain lanugage, people who understand a certain language, or what?
- Why do we need that side box repeating some geographic and demographic information that could be written in normal textual paragraphs?
- Oh, and why do we need all those extra headings that don't contain any content, both as section headings and on the right infobox? I realise that this might make some people fill that content, but right now my impression is that these headers mostly make the article look ugly :(
Nyh 13:16, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I would also delete the "important sports event" section altogether. For example, what does the super 12 event have to do with Gauteng specifically? Nyh 13:32, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Hi Nyh,
I found the provinces of SA a mess most of them just stubs, so I wanted more detail in them. I tried to find a compatible layout for them by looking at the states in USA.
I know they look ugly, sorry but I want to full them with info and I am looking for the info when time permits.
As for the sports side I think your idea is much better because I just copied that from the states.
I was looking at the 1996 stats last night, sorry I corrected them.
I will be getting to the other provinces as soon as I can. I have started on KwaZulu-Natal so could you look there and update. Thanks
Feed back is great. Are u also living in SA
Actually, no, I live in Israel. But my girlfriend was born in Johannesburg, and I'm trying to learn her heritage :) Nyh 07:56, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Gauteng Map[edit]
Hi Nyh, I drew the map up based on the map found at the Johannesburg's website. I can change it if need be.--Jcw69 08:53, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Name changed[edit]
It says in the article .. It was initially named Pretoria-Witwatersrand-Vereeniging (or PWV) and was renamed Gauteng in December 1994. What I found is that on 8 December 1994 a committee of the legislature of Pretoria-Witwatersrand-Vereeniging province recommended that the name of the province be changed to Gauteng but I found two dates for the actual renaming that is 8 December 1995 or in Feb 1995. Can anyone give me the actual date when the name was gazetted? --Jcw69 10:24, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- It depends on how you define the event of the name change. I am not from Gauteng (or a South African, for that matter), so I cannot comment on when this name was actually adopted - I wish someone from Gauteng can comment on it. Anyway, the best source I found on the subject is [1], to which I also linked in the article.
- Anyway, according to this source (on whose validity I cannot comment...), "Gauteng, Sotho for "Place of Gold", was on Thursday afternoon (December 8) adopted as the new name for the PWV province.". Also "The matter was decided in a split vote". This means the December 8 date was not some arbitrary date that someone recommended the new name, but rather the actual date when this name was chosen in a vote. However, at that date, supposedly the name did not become "official", because the source continues "The name-change must be ratified by the national parliament before becoming official. A legislature source said she expected the name to be ratified in March next year.". Only a South African can comment on whether the actual name change process (which must have taken quite some time) started on December, after the Joburg legislature chose that name, or whether the official national ratification was waited for.

- I am a South African living in Gauteng and I don't even know, that is why I asked the question because of different conflicting dates.--Jcw69 06:54, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- There exists a "South African Place Name Council" (or some similarly named institution) that must first investigate and approve any place name change (or new name for a new urban area, for that matter) on behalf of the national government. Their recommendation then goes to the national government for ratification/approval/rubber stamping. Municipalities or provincial governments do not have the power to change place names (of course, they may recommend/initiate changes), only the national government has. (This is also relevant to the whole Pretoria/Tshwane debate.) So, the second date is the correct one. Elf-friend 01:30, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I know it's four years later, but for the sake of completeness, here's the answer: the PWV became Gauteng when the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Amendment Act, 1995 came into force. (The names of the provinces were written into the Interim Constitution; for them to be changed the constitution had to be amended.) This occurred on 3 July 1994 (cite). - htonl (talk) 21:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Muncipalities/map dispute[edit]
If you look at the map at [2] you can see that the region marked as West Rand (number 13) on the map in the article is unmarked. Also the list of municipalities on the Department of Health site [3] lists 12 local and metro municipalities, which are presumably depicted on the map in this article, not 13. West Rand is listed as a district municipality, not as a local municipality and therefore should not appear to be on the map. I could be wrong, but someone needs to verify the status of the section marked as 13 on the map. Park3r 20:24, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
- See also the map with the West Rand article, where the area marked as the "West Rand" in this article doesn't appear to be part of the West Rand.Park3r 20:26, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
- The area marked 13 is a District Management Area - that is, an area with no local municipality - which is part of the West Rand District Municipality. There seems to be some confusion about DMAs; the West Rand municipality is made up of areas 9-13 on that map (although #10, Merafong City, has now been lost to Southern District in the North-West Province). The map on West Rand is wrong; the area marked 13 is definitely part of the West Rand DM. - htonl 23:37, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- OK, with the updated map (see below) I have clarified the description of that area. - htonl 18:32, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Transfer of Merafong City Local Muncipality to North-West Province and abolition of cross-border municipalities[edit]
Will the maps have to change following the abolition of cross-border municipalities, and the transfer of various areas like Merafong City Local Municipality (that includes Khutsong)?184.108.40.206 18:04, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, they will. Merafong City (#10 on the current map) has been transferred to North-West; I am working on drawing up new municipality maps, from the latest Municipal Demarcation Board data, at commons:Maps of South African municipalities. One of my priorities is to draw new maps for areas with significant changes as a result of the abolition of CBMs. - htonl 23:41, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

municipality map[edit]
Could anybody say what number corresponds with what municipality. It is not clear to me this way --Merijn2 15:25, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
the stress is on the second syllable, correct? (sometimes people get mixed up where to put the stress mark) kwami (talk) 06:53, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- No, it's the second-last syllable. Sesotho, like almost all other Southern and East African languages that don't have long vowels, has penultimate stress. The word is 4 syllables long (ga u te ng).
- Tebello TheWHAT!!?? 08:45, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
So stress is on the te, as we currently have it? (That would make it different from Xhosa or Swahili. In English it would only have two syllables, so that would be the final syllable, and the English pronunciation is what we've listed.) kwami (talk) 08:50, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- IsiXhosa and Kiswahili both have penultimate stress (they're Eastern and Southern African languages without a distinction between long and short vowels).
- Perhaps you're thinking about the isiXhosa tone? In isiXhosa the tonal pattern for the word eRhawudeni is (I THINK) HLHLL. The second high is not a stress accent, but the second last syllable is stressed, and this is indicated by lengthening the vowel in de.
- What's listed is not the English pronunciation, and nor should it be. The [x] sound does not exist in standard South African English. In Sesotho, the language from which the name comes, the name is 4 syllables long and has stress on the 3rd syllable. I'll see if I can quickly whip up a proper IPA guide.
- Tebello TheWHAT!!?? 14:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Try this: [xɑu'teŋ̩]. I did not include a proper stress marker (just an apostrophe). This is a bit broad, as it doesn't indicate the syllable break between the first two syllables, nor does it indicate that the second consonant is ejective, but it does show that the final consonant is actually syllabic.
- Tebello TheWHAT!!?? 14:53, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. My point about Xhosa and Swahili is that you wouldn't get a syllable ng, and therefore not stress the te with that spelling. We can certainly add the Sotho; we just need the tone. But then what is the English pronunciation? Just a spelling pronunciation of /ˈɡaʊtɛŋ/? kwami (talk) 20:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know if it would have an English pronunciation, since it's not an English word!
- The final Sesotho syllabic -ng is cognate to the isiXhosa -ni, and is a locative marker (Proto-Bantu -(e)nî). Thus, isiXhosa eRhawudeni also has stress on a similar syllable -- the de.
- The tone in Sesotho (without taking stress lengthening and downdrift into consideration) is HHLL.
- Tebello TheWHAT!!?? 22:05, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Centainly you don't mean that English-speaking South Africans don't ever mention Gauteng, or that they just write it on a slip of paper? kwami (talk) 22:22, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- In the same way that English speakers take words from many other languages and pronounce them in a variety of ways, I think we should concentrate on the pronunciation in the source language, instead.
- What's the pronunciation of the word "isiXhosa"? When you describe it, are you going to use some random person's pronunciation, or just use the pronunciation in the source language? This is a similar problem...
- Tebello TheWHAT!!?? 19:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- South Africa is an English-speaking country, so I'd expect an emergent default English pronunciation for Gauteng. (IsiXhosa is usually anglicized as Xhosa /ˈkoʊsə/.[4]) If everyone really does use a different ad hoc pronunciation, with no rhyme or reason, then we should give a warning that the name does not exist in English. kwami (talk) 20:19, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Can add audio file of correct pronunciation?[edit]
Can we please add to the article an audio file of the correct pronunciation(s)? Thanks. -- 184.108.40.206 (talk) 22:22, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Former Names[edit]
Would be a good idea to put former names behind the new name Like Mogale City (Krugersdorp). I live in the Netherlands know about krugersdorp but not Mogale. What do other people think about it? Sure you guys don't all agree with the namechanges? Flagman (talk) 13:36, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- I would strongly recommend against that. Krugersdorp is not Mogale City. Mogale City is far larger than just Krugersdorp, it includes Krugersdorp, Magaliesburg, Tarlton, Munsieville, Hekpoort and Kagigo. See [5]. Using both names just add more confusion, just look at List of cities by size in South Africa as an example. Are those stats just for Durban or eThekwini as a whole, just for Port Elizabeth or for Nelson Mandela Metropole as a whole? --NJR_ZA (talk) 13:48, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed, in South Africa there is not a 1-to-1 mapping between municipalities and towns, and many municipalities include multiple significant towns. But there should be somewhere (either in this article or a separate list article) a list of cities, towns, villages, etc. in Gauteng. Possibly this list should also indicate which municipality each settlement is in. - htonl (talk) 14:52, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- That is a good idea, maybe List of cities and towns in Gauteng can be modified as a sortable list with Town|Local Municipality|District Municipality|Metro Municipality.
- PS: I have just created a stub for Mogale City Local Municipality and updated the infobox for Krugersdorp, Gauteng to indicate that it is part of Mogale. --NJR_ZA (talk) 15:05, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- I have added a sortable list to List of cities and towns in Gauteng, let me know if this useful. --NJR_ZA (talk) 16:43, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- For city name changes see List of city name changes#South Africa.
I see that it shows English speakers pronounce the province with a "g" (like the spelling? I have personally NEVER heard anyone (English/Afrikaans/Black) say "Gaw-teng", it has always been "XGaw-teng", where the X is a "flemming" sound, if that makes sense? Can we remove the first pronounciation. Btw the "Gau" isn't a fully african word. It originally came from "Goud", which has passed on into some African languages. "Goud" in Afrikaans is pronounced with the "X" sound at the beggining as well. Bezuidenhout (talk) 17:21, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
- I would qualify that by saying that I've never heard any South African pronounce it with an ordinary 'G'; I've heard plenty of English-speakers from other countries pronounce it that way. But I would absolutely agree that the correct SA English pronunciation starts with a voiceless velar fricative (the "XG" sound). - htonl (talk) 17:30, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
- I understand that, but there are millions of English speakers in this country, so surely South African English is supposed to be the pronounciation at the beggining? (english: [gauteng]) means South African English, not international English. We don't display the Australian English pronounciation of saying Manchester on the page? Bezuidenhout (talk) 20:08, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
- Also, sorry about making such a big fuss out of this. Its just, we have to display the CORRECT way of saying something, if that means saying "Houston" has a silent H, or "GER-many" with emphasis on the first sylable? Bezuidenhout (talk) 20:11, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Economy not 10% of African GDP[edit]
I know the S. African govt says it is but govts often mislead. And the 10% figure is unbelivevable. Per Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African_countries_by_GDP_(nominal) S. Af GDP = 357, so if Gauteng one third as claimed, Gauteng = circa 120. Africa = 1,730. North Africa = circa 600.
So using grade school math Gauteng a bit over 10% of sub Saharan Africa and around 7% of African GDP.
I did change article. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 07:12, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Strange Demography of South African provinces[edit]
The proportion of black Africans nationally versus minorities has not increased since the 2001 census, yet according to the 2011 census black Africans are now the majority in Northern Cape and the 70-75% majority of non-blacks in Western Cape has been reduced to 68%. In addition I believe that whites made up 20% of the population of Gauteng in 2001. How is it that blacks don't increase as a percent of population nationwide yet it seems that the SA government is claiming they have increased in several provinces where it matters to the ANC? Is there tampering going on here? Have whites and coloreds and indians gained in other provinces and I just haven't noticed? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 01:54, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
- From 2001 to 2011 the proportion of Black Africans nationally increased slightly, from 79.0% to 79.2%. On the provincial level, the proportion of Black Africans decreased in the Eastern Cape, the Free State, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West. There was a big increase in Black Africans in the Northern Cape (which was partly because of border changes) but the population of the province is so small that it has little effect on the national numbers. The figures for 2001 are on pages 10 and 12 of this document and for 2011 are on page 21 of this document. It has the absolute numbers as well as percentages, so you can check the calculations for yourself if you want to. - htonl (talk) 02:11, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
I think that this article is ready to be rated again in terms of its quality scale. I've done tons of work on it and feel that the quality of the article has improved substantially in the last month or so. Thoughts? Aleksandar Bulovic' (talk) 15:42, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Hey, I've been doing lots of research on crime in Gauteng and I think that it would be appropriate to include it in the article. Should I give it its own section or make it part of one of the already present sections? (Perhaps Demographics or Law And Government), let me know! Aleksandar Bulovic' (talk) 20:55, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

"The name Gauteng is derived from the Sotho name, "gauta" meaning "gold" with [locative suffix "-eng"]." The source says "gauda", not "gauta", first of all. And is it a coincidence that the Afrikaans word for gold, "goud", from the same Dutch word, is so similar? I would doubt it. Bataaf van Oranje (Prinsgezinde) (talk) 12:17, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Wales Audit Office's warning on consultant fees
21 February 2013 Last updated at 11:04 GMT
The public sector in Wales cannot prove it is getting value for money from the £133m it spends on external consultants, a spending watchdog has warned.
The Wales Audit Office (WAO) says public bodies could save £23m by following best practice.
The amount spent on consultants fell by £40m in three years.
But a report criticises poor record-keeping and blames public bodies for not collaborating with each other.
Paul Dimblebee, director at the Wales Audit Office, discussed the findings with Bethan Rhys Roberts on BBC Radio Wales.

Expectations Lowered
Submitted By Todd on November 20th at 12:13am
President-elect Barack Obama has chosen his close confidant and former Senate Majority Leader Thomas Daschle to serve as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, according to several sources close to the transition.Which explains putting Tom Daschle into the cabinet.
Daschle, a South Dakota Democrat, will also reportedly be given a policy portfolio that stretches beyond the department in order to help shepherd health-care reform legislation in 2009.When it comes to answering the question of whether his team will be able to tamp down expectations, Barack says, "Yes, We Can!"
More significantly, Daschle has positioned himself as Obama's central adviser on efforts to dramatically expand health-care coverage next year, while at the same time lowering costs. During the campaign, Obama promised to reduce the average family's medical bill by $2,500.

Akon – Forever (Remix) feat. Future
It's hard to argue that anyone in the game has more of a buzz than Future right now. After dropping a number one album, a number one joint project with Drake, and two mixtapes last year, he has already started the year off with a bang. So it's no surprise that Akon would team up with him on his return to music "Forever (Remix)." Anon has recently penned a new deal with Atlantic Records and is preparing a new album "Stadium." Listen as these two hiphop powerhouses create magic below!

The headphone was only an audio product to audit only by ear so far. However, I am thinking that the direction of which the sound came is informed through person's skin by the harmonic component that was included in the starting up element of the sound (It was thought that it is transmitted directly to the brain by way of the nerve not the audiphone), and I discovered that the color of the...

|Beta Testing Games
|July 17, 2014, 7:35 am
I've been beta testing a game. I put a lot of time in. I write the dev team a lot of notes. This is all unprofessional, unpaid. I'm starting to question the developer's talent. The game is pretty awful and its been in development for 2 years. There are glaring errors that I feel like they don't even play the game when they give it to me to beta test. Several game breaking things that just kind of waste my chance to play it since they feed me a new test every day. If there's something right at the beginning that fails to work. I just can't test it for a day. If they forget to put the ammo in the level, its another day until I get a new build.
The whole questioning the team's talents have lead me to start C++ programming again just so I can tell them how to fix what's wrong. Yet they don't. I question how long I can endure testing this awful game.
I would spill the beans and tell you the game, but it would come back to me. Not that I'm being paid, but a friend works there and the heat would come back to him. Plus, I don't want the game to get derailed as being shit when they could fix things and maybe the game won't be shit. I'm really leaning toward this thing will be shit no matter what happens.
Thankfully my friend isn't the level designer or the programmer, or we probably wouldn't be friends anymore :-)

|Food poisoning myself
|June 27, 2014, 3:05 am
Over the past 2.5 years I've cooked a lot. Randomly I get ambitious and cook things that I've literally never eaten before, but I think will be a good idea. I've cooked rosoto without ever tasting it. Last night or rather 7 hours ago was scallops. I cooked a test scallop that turned out fine. Then I cooked the other 3 scallops. Those other 3 I feel turned out burnt.
Now here's a flashback for you, when I was at the super market, the employee working there I felt was trying to tell me not to buy them. They're $18 per pound. I was iffy. I felt he was taking the long way to hint that I shouldn't buy them. He bluntly asked who likes them, your wife or your girlfriend? We laughed, because men apparently don't buy them. He asked if I liked them, I said, never had them, either had he. But I was going to cook them. He pointed out he doesn't want to sell me something I probably won't like. The whole conversation was a painful 5 minutes. He constantly asked, do you get what I'm saying? I thought it was code for don't buy these!
After picking them up I went to the front checkout where one person was in line, this little old lady in her wheelchair was buying a box of wine. Not just a box with wine in it, but a big box with 8 bottles of wine in it. She argued about the price and haggled to get the price down. First another clerk was called in for the sale of the booze since the underage clerk working there can't sell booze. Then a manager was called in for the haggling.
When it was my turn, the clerk had to change the receipt ream of paper, to which he had it backward and my info printed on the wrong side. Why am I bringing this all up? They were signs. I laughed and knew they were signs.
Oddly enough, during the meal, it was the burnt ones that tasted fine. It was the non burnt one that was rubbery. So I blame the test subject. My girlfriend has yet to come down with food poisoning, but who knows. I ate the undercooked one.
I peed out my ass, downed some ginger aile that has been sitting in the fridge for 2 years. Then I thought.... the only way out of this is to throw up.
When I started throwing up, some long tentacle of a thing came out. It belonged to the scallop. Then I thought oh fuck that's not what I need to throw up. So I kept going like the trooper I am. It took a while, but now I'm feeling better. Thank you vomit process, you make everything better in a hurry.
For those curious, the actual meal is lobster ravioli.

|My gf pulled over by a cop
|May 23, 2014, 7:02 am
My gf was driving us home after seeing Godzilla. We were on the main road before her street. There's a place that its always a stoplight. Blank and blank. So I pointed out, she'll get a stoplight. Then she said look at that guy, he knows he'll get a ticket. He went speeding by us. I checked her speed and it was 35. There's a digital display that says 35 in big blue numbers. She said doesn't he know that cops watch this road all the time?
Well a cop started following us. Really close. I had a feeling we were getting pulled over. Sure enough, yep pulled over.
My girlfriend starts spazing out and on a 4 lane road with a center turn lane, my spaz of a girlfriend decides to pull over... in the turn lane at the middle of the road. Hilarious. Inside I was laughing. She throws a fit as most people would.
After a few minutes, the cop comes to her car and angrily explains that when she got her license that's an agreement with any emergency vehicle you pull over to the side of the road. The cop asked if she knew why she's being pulled over. Nope. For speeding, 48 mph in a 35 mph zone.
Ha that's a fucking joke. Then the cop pointed out we were the only car on the road, which I know is a lie, because its an extremely busy road even at 9 pm at night. Normally its backed up in rush hour, but 9 at night there are always cars since its coming off a major tollway. The cop takes the license and insurance, but not registration. What? Eh oh well.
When the cop comes back, the cop explained that she will let us go. My girlfriend asked what road, where? Remember how I mentioned blank and blank? That's where it was. The cop continued that the radar gun zooms in on the fastest car and takes a picture of their license plate. We were the only car on the road. The cop also mentioned they radar guns are tested before each shift. Then the officer added pulling over in the center of the road is another ticketable offense.
I knew the cop didn't have shit. Plus the whole zooms in and takes a picture of the plate is flawed. A photo isn't proof. It could have malfunctioned. I'd want to see a video of the crime and then see it zoom in. The burden of proof is on them. The dash cam is better proof, but the dash cam might not be pointed where the radar is aimed.
In Chicago there have been red light cams that take pics of parked cars and mail them tickets when a speeding car blows a red light.
The cop's name tag read 'J. Morton' and my girlfriend mentioned that 'J. Morton' is her aunt.
Anyway, the cop said since my girlfriend has no priors, we were allowed to go. The cop knew she didn't have a case. The officer was polite, and nice, but rightfully stern when explaining why we should have pulled over to the side of the road. Its just unsafe in the middle, plus as she pointed out, we become a hazard.

|The inanimate carbon rod saves the day again (fixing a fridge handle)
|May 22, 2014, 2:22 pm
I'm currently house sitting for someone with 2 cats. I was told to give the cats milk + water + food and well fish with the cats. Cats love to fish. Long story short, I fixed a refrigerator handle with an inanimate carbon rod. Now here's the story of how I did it.
The first day, the milk was spoiled. So I bought new milk. The refrigerator is old, maybe 60 years old. It has a handle with a hinge on the bottom. The handle works like a lever. You pull the top of the lever handle and the hinge opens the door. Without pulling this lever handle, there's no way to open up the door, its locked and sealed.
The problem here is when you open it, the lever stays 'pulled' and won't go up again to its starting position to latch and lock again. I didn't think this was a problem. It was closed. Yep closed like a normal refrigerator even if the lever wasn't in its upright position. No these aren't sexual innuendos.
Day after day, I fed the cats. Now today, 2 or 3 days after buying a full gallon of milk, it is starting to spoil. Swirls in the milk. Well what the fuck? Then when I close the door I notice, the door is closed, but not sealed. Not latched, not firmly shut. The door wiggles. That clearly must be why my milk spoiled so quickly, the cold air is escaping.
I dismantled the handle from the hinge at the bottom of the lever. You pull a metal pin out and the handle lever comes completely out. That's when I found the mechanism that pushes the handle into its upright position. Some small metal piston and its 'cradle' or 'housing' had cracked, and split. So every time the piston goes up and forward, it was really going up and left. So the piston head was getting stuck and couldn't go up.
The piston had a lot of pressure going left, and I managed to bend a butter knife trying to get the piston to go forward again. In the end, it was a spoon that pulled it away from the left. Piston still worked, so I assembled the handle again. The handle was at its upright position... until I opened the door again. It did the same thing.
After dismantling the handle again, turns out the piston head going left instead of forward has damaged the handle so badly that it just always goes left. It had ground away metal and made itself a new home on the left instead of 'forward.' Then I saw that the pin everything hinges on had had been grinding the metal away so without noticing every time you pull the handle lever, it went slightly to the right, grinding away the metal over decades.
To top that off, on one side of the cradle that holds the pin hinge to the refrigerator had cracked straight through. Somehow metal had cracked apart. Well its 60 years old, but I just don't expect metal to crack. Eventually it will crack more to the point it won't be able to hold in the pin and the door will be locked forever. Unless duct tape will fix it.
The way I got the piston to go forward instead of left was by finding a small inch long inanimate carbon rod that I put into the housing on the left of the piston, preventing it from going left. It can only go forward.
The inanimate carbon rod saved the day. When I told the home owner about the door handle fix, she was very thankful, it had been that way for 2 years and she's owned the fridge for 40 years. She told me the milk never lasted more than 4 or 5 days. Anything less than a gallon would spoil in 3 days.
When I bought yet another gallon of milk, that's when I decided to check the temperature. Well, I know why the refrigerator spoils milk so easily. Its either been set to off or the closest setting to off there is. I can only imagine how many years if not decades this refridgerator has been set to off.

|Truckstop Breakfast
|May 2, 2014, 4:11 pm
Yesterday met my truck driving uncle at a truck stop. The truckstop looked on par with a chain restaurant. It even had a salad bar, because truckers eat healthy...
We had breakfast. The pancakes I was given were burnt, but not black, just near black. So I cut into them and they were raw in the middle. I sent them back. My uncle and I laughed saying there are 2 people in the back that thought those pancakes were okay to serve to someone and expect money in return. The cook and the waitress.
If I remember correctly, black on the outside, raw in the middle means the pan is too hot.
I was given new pancakes and I finished them. Only after I finished them did I notice the giant hair underneath of the last piece. It was coiled in a small ball as if someone intentionally put it there as revenge. Fucking hilarious.

|Wii woes on Ebay
|May 2, 2014, 1:55 pm
My girlfriend suddenly wanted to play Wii Sports. That involved buying a Wii. Now that the Wii U is out, the Wii Mini is really the only thing around. According to Nintendo's official website, there is a Wii Sports Bundle in black sold at Toys R Us and Best Buy. Neither of which are actually sold at Toys R Us or Best Buy online or otherwise. Buying the Wii Mini would be $100 + $35 USED Wii Sports Resort and Wii Sports combine from Gamestop. Instead of the Wii Sports Bundle for $120.
So I went to Gamestop. Several Gamestops.
Gamestop 1: Nintendo stopped making that bundle a year ago. You won't be able to find it. No we don't have it used.
Gamestop 2: 'Why the fuck would we have Wii's anymore?' That's an actual quote.
Gamestop 3: Gotta look on Ebay dude.
Gamestop 4: Go to Disc Replay.
Disc Replay: Our Wii's are only $60. All sold out.
Gamestop 5: We have one used Wii left. $90. Nope doesn't have the nunchuck or Wii motion plus needed for playing Wii Sports Resort.
Gamestop 6: Try Ebay. Make sure they come with every part of the Wii, because people will sell the parts and games separately to make the most money.
Gamestop 7: Go to Disc Replay, they have all that old stuff.
Ebay I go.
Ebay 1: So the first Wii Sports Bundle takes 3 weeks to arrive. When it arrived, it didn't read discs and I couldn't have gotten a more abused Wii. Basically the Wii in the photos was not the Wii I received. I took it up with Ebay, they said they'd give the seller a week to respond, no response, so Ebay told me send it back with our free prepaid sticker. Then they returned my money.
Ebay 2: Just bought the white Wii Sports Resort Bundle, arrives quick, fan doesn't work, system dies after 30 minutes. Ebay gives me a shipping thing to send it back after the guy refuses to take it back. Ebay gave me my money back.
Ebay 3: Same thing happened. Fan doesn't work and the system burns out after 30 minutes.
I'm not even buying the lowest priced Wiis. Those seem to all get snatched up at the very last second.
Normally, I'd go to Amazon to buy things, but the actual Wii Sports Bundles seem to be pretty expensive now. Plus I'd much rather see the photos of the items.
While I can just buy Wii U and then just buy the 2 games to play, I'd much rather not spend the $300 on top of the stupidly frivolous expenses I already do.

|Jury Duty, anyone else had it?
|April 23, 2014, 7:08 am
Looks like I'll be doing a 2nd tour of duty! Coincidentally right after Turbo Tax told me my tax return was rejected.
Anyway, my first jury duty was fucking awesome.
Why? The case... but I'm probably not allowed to talk about that, but more than the case, it was everything around the case.
Hanging out with the herd of people called down to the courthouse. There was 1 woman that didn't speak English, so she had her translator there. They wouldn't let her translator stay and was sent away. I'm not sure if it was a ploy to get her out of jury duty.
Then getting called into an actual case, I heard some of the most amazing stories from potential jurors and the jurors themselves. The interviewed us right there front and center in front of everyone, even though we had the choice to be privately interviewed.
Some of the stories:
One woman's father had gone to prison. Why? Her father murdered a man.
Judge asked if she felt he was guilty. She said well... the guy owed my dad money and my dad went over to his house with a hammer and only my dad walked out of that garage. WTF? holy shit. She wasn't selected for a juror.
Then potential juror #2, some sort of mafia princess. Her grandfather, father, uncle, and brother all went to prison for money laundering and organized crime. Holy shit. Both these people were right next to me.
One of the potential jurors said he didn't want to do it, he didn't want to be there, he'll just vote guilty no matter what and fuck up the system.
One woman was grilled and asked a lot of personal questions about her kids, their ages, their genders. She eventually had to stop them and ask why they're asking all of this. Well they can't tell her why, since she's only a potential juror.
When they finally came to me they asked a whole 2 questions. How do you pronounce your company's name. What do you do there? Then the judge made a joke how quick we got through the interview and not everyone will take 5 minutes.
I was the first juror actually selected and I was the 6th potential. At some point, the judge called the 2 attorneys over and I heard them talking. The judge said something like, you can't keep rejecting people.
On our jury was an interesting cast of characters, a sheriff's deputy that said we were lucky, because they were about to start selecting a jury for a double murder some man killed his neighbor's 2 little girls. Not just killed them, but had setup their bodies in a bathtub to make it look like they were double suiciding.
We also had a teen straight from China. He had only been a citizen 3 weeks. He said back in China, they bulldozed his family's house to make room for a road. They gave them 1 day's notice to get out even if the bulldozer wasn't coming. They weren't paid for their house. Then his father said fuck this country and left.
Then there was the Zamboni driver... Some how some way we had one of the most unique jobs ever on our jury. He said he got his job because he had gotten fired from his last job and as a laugh he applied for Zamboni driver and totally written out a fake answer application. Like name = Rainbow Bright. Why do you want to drive a Zamboni? Because on his father's death bed he said, son, become a race car driver and well driving a Zamboni is where he'll start his racing career. So he said they hired him, because they'd rather have a funny guy.
Finally, we had the former Amish man, who was selected as our jury foreman. I'm happy he was, because he wasn't a pushover. He told us his dad had kidnapped him when he was little to go live a normal life away from the Amish world. He thought that he was learning to be a traveling salesman from his dad. Eventually his dad told him the truth that he was kidnapped.
All interesting stories and I can't wait to do it again!

|Shitty ex boss of failed company now teaches classes to run successful business
|March 8, 2014, 8:00 am
I've pretty much worked for the same company for 15 years. I take side jobs here and there. The side jobs usually last 2 - 3 months. Once upon a time, I worked for a cock of a boss. On a business level I didn't like him, but then after phase 1 of a project was done, we had a company celebration! A night out! Where people brought their wives, girlfriends and fiances.
This fucker of a boss did nothing but harass the employees. When one of the employees went to the bathroom he tried digging up dirt on that employee. He was some emo kid in college that did graphic design, with a gorgeous vet of a fiance. So he harassed the guy asking how did you two meet? Did you find him in your bushes stalking you? Just relentless against this kid.
At dinner, which was pizza at a restaurant, he said something like we have a lot of girls here I bet we can get a free pitcher of beer if one of the girls flashes him. There weren't female employees, these were the wives, co workers, and girlfriends.
After that weekend, which coincidentally I think was 6 years ago to this month. I quit. I didn't need the extra work, especially when I thought it would be a week's worth of work, that turned into 3 months of hell. At least he gave a bonus.
He wanted to sue me for the code to his program that he had me developing. We never agreed on the code, just the program. In fact the contract only specifies the program not the sourcecode.
Turns out I was the 3rd guy... the other 2 guys had left with the sourcecode after he was a dick and they all bailed with the code and leaving money behind.
Anyway, I gave up the code, but the hilarity is I spent the weekend redoing the code.... in a previous language from 5 years earlier, thus making him have to redo the code again or upgrade it.
This fucker 4 years ago dissolved that company and started a new company that does the exact same thing. Why? Because the employees own shares of the first dissolved company. I let that slide, I didn't give a fuck. They never paid out and it was probably never profitable.
It looks like the new company went out of business too. Further proof is that the company domain name points to the college where he instructs.
Now I visit the website and it sends me to a 'college' where he is an instructor. A college about running a successful business. Fucking hilarious.
I am tempted just to show up and tell my past experiences to classmates dealing with him.

|The Stay
|January 13, 2014, 5:28 am
Staying at a hotel, not just a hotel, but a hotel that eats other hotels. Its consuming a vacation town, buying up neighboring hotels. Painting them white and blue so you know you're driving by the hotel for miles. 1,400 rooms.
Its the off season, there's no one in town that is normally packed in the summer.
When I arrive, the desk clerk tells me that I'll be staying in a different hotel since they own 5 - 9 hotels. He tells me I'll need to drive back and forth. I tell him no problem.
He says with an upgrade, I don't have to drive. I tell him driving is no problem. He asks would I like to know how much the upgrade costs? Nope. Don't give a fuck.
After that spiel. He tells me hold on a second, he needs to speak with his manager. When he comes back, I receive a free upgrade! Oh yay. I just go up 1 floor turn left and bam there I am. No drive or anything. They did however sidegrade me from a king to a double queen.
It seems to me trying to sell me an upgrade and warning me 'you'll need to drive back and forth between hotels' is quite the scam. It would probably cost them more money to operate the 9 hotels and not just the 1 main hotel in the off season.

Darling Shadow was adopted from FFGW as a kitten and returned to us in July 2012 when her adoptive parents chose a retirement home that did not allow cats. Shadow is a loving girl, well-behaved and used to being the center of attention in a quiet adult-oriented home. She loves to spend time with her foster mom, who says she's very chatty and loves to be petted. She also loves to sit on the cat tree in her foster room and look out the window. Until recently, Shadow preferred to stay in her own space, even though her door was open, but recently—after 2 ½ years in foster care—is enjoying time in other rooms. While we are delighted by Shadow's progress, and while she gets along with other cats, we know Shadow longs to be an only girl again. If you're seeking a wonderful, gentle—and talkative—sweetheart to share your life, Shadow would love to meet you!
Thank You!

LG G3 Wifi signal.. Help? Normal?
I've been doing a search on here and other forums and found some people having issues with weak wifi signals. My question is I still have my HTC One. I'm with AT&T. When I'm connected to any wifi, my HTC One always shows full signal. And when I check it says excellent. On my LG g3 I'll check and I'm at 3 bars and it will fluctuate from a good signal to excellent. I can go into my bedroom with my HTC One and still have a full signal. Walk in my bedroom with my LG g3 and I lose a bar. The same is at work. My HTC One says Good signal. My LG g3 says fair. I knew every phone calibration is different. Just want to make sure there's not a problem with my phone. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Wifi signal.. Help? Normal?
It'd probably be better to do your comparison using speed test results versus using the signal indicator. As you noted, they may be just reporting the signal strength differently and one might just be more accurate than the other.

Re: LG G3 Wifi signal.. Help? Normal?
Compared to my old GS3 the LG G3 has a better Speedtest reading.
I have noticed a curious problem. The wifi signal icon reads it's connected however I cannot get on Facebook, internet, etc without turning off wifi and then turning it back on. This happens every once in a while. I hope it is software related. Not sure.

Disappointing 03/15/2013
This review is from: IOGEAR GearPower Susan G. Komen Edition Portable Battery Pack GMP1001PP (Pink)
Slim. Pink. Cheap.
Does not work.
Other Thoughts:
I was happy with GMP4400PP, a higher capacity IOGEAR battery, so I had high hopes for this smaller cousin. I charged it fully, according to instructions, and when it filled I plugged in my Palm Pixi. I got the charging symbol which stayed on for less than a minute. My wife's Incredible 2 failed to charge at all, my Pixi indicates charging briefly but then drops out.
It doesn't matter how small or cheap this may be, it does not work.
Manufacturer Response:
Thank you for choosing IOGEAR and we apologize for the inconvenience.
Tablets are designed to charge from its included 2.1A charger. When connected to 1A power, the tablet will slow charge. When connected to a .5A source like a standard PC USB port (or.6A source like the GMP1001PP), the table will display "Not Charging", however it is actually trickle charging the tablet. The compact GMP1001PP was designed to charge phones and mp3 players. We recommend using our higher capacity/output models tablets." Once again, thank you for choosing IOGEAR.
