Note: This guide was written well before WotLK as released. The information and modeling done here is based completely on a BC version of WoW. While I thing this information is still generally correct, It does not apply direct any more. I do plan on writting a new guide and will post on my blog when it is done.
If you have done any reading on moonkin DPS then you have probably seen the basic hierarchy of DPS stats. Spell Hit > Spell Damage > Spell Crit. You may have also seen the generally accepted relative values of each of those stats. Spell Hit is considered to be worth 1.2 Spell Damage until the hit cap. Spell Crit is considered to be worth 0.7 Spell Damage. These numbers are a good general guideline for your average raiding moonkin but they are way to static to really be accurate. In this post I would like to lay out the math and show why Spell Damage is always better than Spell Crit on a point for point basis.
1. A spell's chance to hit is unaffected by its chance to Crit or by how much Spell Damage a caster has. Therefore it affects both Spell Damage and Spell Crit equally and will not be included in this analysis.
2. Spell Haste does not impact the amount of damage caused by Spell Damage or Spell Crit. It only affects the speed at which the damage occurs. Therefore it affects both Spell Damage and Spell Crit equally and will not be included in this analysis.
3. I have tried to structure the analysis in such a way to favor Spell Crit and give it every benefit of the doubt. Therefore I will be focusing on Starfire Since it gets the most benefit from Spell Crit.
4. I have excluded the affects of any of the moonkin idols from the calculations since which one you use really depends on the situation. However, the [Ivory Idol of the Moongoddess] and the [Idol of the Unseen Moon] will will increase the value of Spell Crit a little since they increase the damage of your Spellfire before crit. On the other hand [Idol of the Raven Goddess] will reduce the value of an additional point of crit since it increases your base chance to crit.
Talents Affecting Starfire DPS:
Starlight Wrath – Reduces casting time by 0.5 seconds.
Focused Starlight – Increases Crit rate by 4%.
Vengeance – Increases the crit bonus damage by 100%.
Nature's Grace – Reduces the cast time of your next spell by 0.5 sec after a crit.
Moonfury – Increases damage by 10%.
Moonkin Form – Increases Crit rate by 5%.
Wrath of Cenarius – Increases Spell Damage Coefficient for Starfire by 0.2.
The Math:
There are a couple of important things to remember when comparing Spell Damage and Spell Crit. The first is that they are interrelated. So we have to determine how an additional point of Spell Damage is affected by your current level of Crit and how an additional point of Crit is affected by your current level of Spell Damage.
Also, due to Nature's Grace, crit not only determines how much damage is dealt but how quickly it is dealt. So with regard to Starfire, the numbers will be converted to DPS.
How much additional DPS will you receive from an additional point of Spell Damage?
Moonfury, Wrath of Cenarius and your Crit rate all affect Spell Damage. Starfire has a base Spell Damage Coefficient of 1, and let X equal your Crit rate for Starfire. So the additional DPS from one point of Spell damage is:
So if your crit rate is 25%, Then
DPS = 1.65/2.875 = 0.5739 DPS per point of Spell Damage at a 25% Crit rate.
How much additional DPS will you receive from an additional point of Spell Crit?
First we need to figure out how much damage Starfire does. It has two components, base spell damage and bonus spell damage. Base spell damage is the damage that comes with the trainable spell with no bonus from gear. A max rank Starfire can hit for between 550 and 646. It is increased by 10% because of Moonfury, so the average base spell damage for Starfire is 657.8. Bonus spell damage is what you receive from gear and is calculated on your character screen. It is modified based upon the base casting time of the spell and talents. Starfire has a Spell Damage Coefficient of 1, and it is modified by Wrath of Cenarius and Moonfury as I said before. So the damage of your average non-crit Starfire is equal to:
Damage = 657.8 + (Spell Damage)*(1 + 0.2)*(1.1)
Damage = 657.8 + (1000)*(1 + 0.2)*(1.1) = 1977.8, If you have 1000 Spell Damage
To get the damage of your average Starfire you have to include crit. To do that, multiply the entire equation by one plus your crit rate:
Damage = (657.8 + (Spell Damage)*(1 + 0.2)*(1.1))*(1 + Crit Rate)
Damage = (657.8 + (1000)*(1 + 0.2)*(1.1))*(1 + 0.25) = 2472.3, If you have 1000 Spell Damage and a 25% crit rate.
To get your average DPS for Starfire you have to divide by your average cast time.
Damage = ((657.8 + (Spell Damage)*(1 + 0.2)*(1.1))*(1 + Crit Rate))/( 3 - 0.5(Crit Rate))
Damage = ((657.8 + (1000)*(1 + 0.2)*(1.1))*(1 + 0.25))/(3 – 0.5(0.25)) = 859.91304, If you have 1000 Spell Damage and a 25% crit rate.
Now, if we had one point of crit rating to the percentage then we change the out come in a couple of ways. First, you will crit more often therefore increasing your damage. Second, criting more often will decrease your average cast time due to Nature's Grace, thus increasing your DPS. To increase your Crit rating by 1% you need 22.06 points in crit rating, so one point of crit rating increases your chance to crit by 1/2206 or 0.00045331%. If you slip this into the equation you get the following results:
Damage = ((657.8 + (Spell Damage)*(1 + 0.2)*(1.1))*(1 + Crit Rate + 0.00045331))/( 3 - 0.5(Crit Rate + 0.00045331))
Damage = ((657.8 + (1000)*(1 + 0.2)*(1.1))*(1 + 0.25045331))/(3 – 0.5(0.25045331)) = 860.29271, If you have 1000 Spell Damage and a 25% base crit rate plus one more point of Spell Crit.
So from one point of Spell Crit you gain 0.37967 DPS with 1000 Spell Damage and 25% base Crit rate. Lets compare this value to the DPS value I calculated for one additional point of Spell Damage.
0.37967/0.5739 = 0.66156.
So, at 1000 Spell Damage and 25% crit rate, one additional point of Spell Crit is worth 0.66156 points of Spell Damage.
I have calculated this value for several levels of Spell Damage and Spell Crit. Here is a graph that shows the results.
There is one way to significantly improve the value of your Crit rating. It is the [Chaotic Skyfire Diamond]. How this gem impacts your critical strikes is a little more complicated than it sounds. Due to some strange math from blizzard your critical strikes will hit for 209% of your normal spell cast. Having this gem socketed will increase the value of spell crit rating by 4% to 5%. Here is another graph that shows the impact of having this gem socketed.
1. My results do confirm the relative value of one Spell Crit to be worth about 0.7 Spell Damage for your average raiding Moonkin with about 1000 to 1100 Spell damage. However, it also shows that that value changes significantly depending on your level of Spell Damage. The rule of thumb I would use is 0.7 if geared from T4 content, 0.8 from T5 content, and 0.9 from T6 content.
2. It is also often suggested that at some level of Spell Damage, Spell Crit becomes more valuable than Spell Damage on a point for point basis. While this is true in theory it is really not practical in the game because of how gear is itemized, and I am not convinced that it is possible at all.
Spell crit is unavoidable as you progress through raid content. As you pick up more Spell Damage gear you will also get quite a bit of Spell crit. I tried to take a look at the best gear available from Sunwell and T6 content. I found that it is possible to get to 1450 -1475 spell damage. thise means that you could get to 1750 - 1800 Spell Damage fully raid buffed. However, at the same time you would be pushing your crit level to 35% or more, thus reducing the marginal value of Crit rating.
Needless to say, while the highest tier of hardcore raiders may get close or even cross this barrier, the average moonkin raider has no hope of ever reaching this point if they make the correct gear choices.
I did do an analysis of the other three Druid DPS spells. Most of the information would be very similar in structure to what I have posted above and wouldn't change the conclusions in any significantly. In fact, they only make Spell Crit look worse. However, I would like to give a quick summary how each spell looked with regard to the Spell Damage vs Spell Crit comparison.
Wrath – Wrath looks very similar to Starfire, but a little worse. The reason is that Wrath does not benefit from Nature's Grace due to the global cooldown.
Moonfire – The initial burst of damage from Moonfire can crit but the DoT cannot. Thus, a significant portion of Moonfire's damage is unaffected by Spell Crit. According to my analysis one point of Spell Crit is worth between 0.30 and 0.35 points of Spell Damage for most reasonable levels of Spell Damage.
Insect Swarm – Insect Swarm cannot crit and therefore is completely unaffected by Spell Crit.
I owe thanks to Phaelia over at Resto4Life for giving me the idea for this post with her Versus posts. She was also kind enough to look over my post before it was published and give me a few pointers. Unfortunately due to my lack of blogging/HTML knowledge I was not able to implement some of her great ideas. Hopefully someday I will figure this stuff out had have a blog that looks half as good as hers.
I also owe thanks to Erdluf from the comments section for pointing out a couple of mistakes in my analysis.
Toon Update
Graylo - Not much here. I ran Kara with him on Friday night and picked up 22 badges but that is about it.
Graypal - Didn't play him a whole lot over the weekend but I am working towards getting him the spell strike set and the Belt of Blasting. I farmed a whole lot of Primal Fire over the weekend with graylo. Still need to pick up about 15 more primal fires but it wasn't all that hard.
Grayfel - Didn't work on him as much as I wanted to. He is almost level 43 but I had some issues with spawns and such and didn't get him up

I have had this rack for a couple of years and I think it's great. They thought of everything that I could ask for, except my wife's ladies bike doesn't fit on it very well. I have to rig it on to make it work. It's not a huge problem, but I wish it fit better. Overall, I recommend it.

BurdaStyle Prairie Shirt Dress 04/2011 #107
Added May 11, 2014
by purplegoat
Sydney, Australia
I bought this fabric from Spotlight in the January sales for something like $3 a metre. When purchasing fabric I always just buy what I'm drawn to with no particular plan on what I'll make from it (my overflowing stash can attest to this!).
I decided I needed a shirt dress and found a couple of options in back issues, settling on this version – the BurdaStyle Prairie Shirt Dress 042011 #107 pattern I altered to have buttons right down the front, and tapered the waist in, plus used the collar instead of the small stand-up collar used in the model shot. I also have to say, I'm quite short and very short in the body, for some reason my bodice looks much shorter than the model shot – perhaps I didn't add seam allowance?

Kitchen Before & After: Cheryl's 'Very Tight Budget' DIY Redo
Despite a very limited budget, Kitchen reader Cheryl wasn't going to let that get in the way of redoing her kitchen. With the help of her husband and some DIY skills (including building her own cabinets) Cheryl made a kitchen to fit her needs!
Cheryl gives us the backstory:
My husband and I gave our awful old kitchen a DIY makeover on a very tight budget. We built our own cabinets and even made the counter tops out of 2x4's, stained and gloss coated. The sink was salvaged from someone else's re-do. We took out the upper cabinets and replaced them with long, open shelves. My old pantry was small but deep, making things hard to get to, so I purposely made my new pantry shallow, open, and floor to ceiling. Canned goods are only stacked two deep. The cup hooks above the sink were made from vintage garage sale silver plate forks and spoons which I hand stamped with phrases like Hot Java, Kiss the Cook, and Good Gravy.
Thanks, Cheryl!

Fenerbahce midfielder Raul Meireles has denied spitting at referee Halis Ozkahya after he was sent off in his side's 2-1 defeat to Galatasaray.
The Portugal international was given his marching orders for two bookable offences and made his feelings known towards the official in a heated discussion on the pitch.
But the former Chelsea playmaker has insisted he did not spit at Ozkahya, though he was disappointed with the performance of the referee.
"I was fouled by Yekta [Kurtulus], just in the same way I did to him, but the referee didn't even whistle for the foul on me and right after when I made the same tackle - I pulled his shirt - our opponent was awarded with a foul and I was shown the red card," he told NTV Sport.
"I don't find it fair and I think Halis Ozkahya made most of his decisions in Galatasaray's favour.
"In my professional career, including in the Premier League, where physical tackles are toughest, I haven't been given a red card until now.
"This angered me more and that led to an argument with the match official. But I certainly did not spit at him. I think I was shown a wrong red card."
The 29-year-old could be suspended for up to seven matches if he is found guilty of the allegations.
Meanwhile, full-back Gokhan Gonul has refuted claims he is disloyal after he was seen hugging Gala coach Fatih Terim after the Istanbul derby.
Fans of San Kanaryalar took to social media to slam the Turkey international, but he admitted that he felt let down by the supporters for doubting his love of the club.
"I've been playing for Fenerbahce for six years now and there's not a day I didn't put in 100 per cent," he told the Turkish Sporting Press.
"I resent everything being said about me. Some doubt my loyalty to my team, to Fenerbahce, and I just can't believe that."

A greenfield boom may be in the works in the middle of the Rust Belt.
At least two billion-dollar projects are being considered in southern Ohio, bucking recent trends of foreign-owned or -funded mills setting up shop in the southeast United States.
But southern Ohio has several factors in its favor It's not too far from traditional auto markets in the Great Lakes area; the region has good rail and road infrastructure; and the Ohio River provides access to the "new domestic" automakers in the South.
Russia's OAO Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works is considering building a steel mill in Haverhill, Ohio. Plans released as part of an air permit application suggest that the mill could one day produce about 2.5 million tonnes of hot-rolled, cold-rolled and galvanized steel coil annually as well as advanced stainless grades.
And a group of unnamed European investors reportedly is considering a new mill south of Columbus, Ohio. The $1.2-billion project would target infrastructure instead of automobile markets, officials involved with the project have told local media.
But there is no guarantee that either of the much-hyped projects will materialize.
MMK chairman Victor Rashnikov has said that his company also is considering a location in Quebec, and it might even drop its greenfield plans in favor of a bid for AK Steel Corp., West Chester, Ohio. Officials with the potential Columbus-area project have said that sites in other states also are being considered.

I have never been adverse to sharing my information. I often receive requests for information regarding ancestors, distant and not so distant. Often this can take several hours (or more) of compiling reports, adding images and certificates if not already posted to my online public tree. However lately, the requests for information have been coming thick and fast; sometimes regarding people who are so distant to me that I can only provide basic details. For example, the question may be regarding an ancestor of my cousin's father (or his sister) and I would like to keep that basic information on my tree for my close relatives their descendants - especially for those who are not currently into genealogy. So delve deeper I do and it often feels like I am doing what a paid Genealogist would do for nothing. I have been know to purchase certificates for these far flung branches. Yes, it does add to my overall knowledge, but it is certainly way off the road of my own current research. Though I must admit I am learning, in that my latest response was much less involved; but even finding the person on the tree, gathering the source information, and compiling an email set me back an hour.
I always reply promptly and with cheerfulness and often ask that if they have additional information "would they mind sending it on to me" - With many thanks in advance.
I don't mind if they have nothing to share, but I do believe that I am turning into a grumpy old woman, feeling less and less like performing these RAGK. In the past few weeks, I have answered maybe a dozen or so of these queries, and I have received not one "Thank you for your information..."
My time is precious, being a full time carer, and I am wondering why I spend my time doing other peoples research - they could go through the same processes that I have done to compile the information, but hey! why reinvent the wheel I think. Or do I do it for the "Thanks" - is that being selfish or is it just rude not to reply to someone who has helped you out?
I am really beginning to questioning my motives in doing this added research; maybe people don't realise how little time I have to myself, though my profile on my major online tree (where most requests originate) says that I am a carer, as does my Google+ profile. Am I a sucker for any old request, wanting praise for my efforts? Should I continue to spend so much time on things that bring no reward? Should I want a reward or thanks?
I know I am not getting much done here on the home front for myself; my writing challenge fell by the wayside in favour of answering these questions, and I do feel slightly burnt out, so question to self - do I politely refuse, knowing that I could be helpful? Do I continue to spend my precious time and hope for some one to reciprocate or even just say Thank you? Or maybe I should just make my tree private, so that I wont be hassled in future.
Somehow, all these scenarios seem wrong. Maybe I am just struggling with my own conscience and needs and deep down know that it is right to continue to help those who ask without wanting anything in return.
Am I alone out there?
Regardless, Thank you for taking the time to listen to my gripes.

Players sat alone in the cold, damp grass of the field at the Eakes Sports Complex Thursday night. For the second season in a row the Bisons' season had ended in the semifinals of the Atlantic Sun Tournament on the campus of Campbell University.
The No.3-seeded Bisons, and the No.2-seeded Jacksonville Dolphins, battled to a 2-2 tie after regulation and two overtime periods.
The game was decided with penalty kicks. Each team picked five players to go one-on-one against the other teams goalkeeper. All four of Jacksonville's kickers scored while only freshman forward Garret Pettis found the net for the Bisons.
For a player like T.J. Williams, who finally left the field after words of consolation from coach Charles Morrow, it was his last game as a college player. For sophomore forward Miguel DaSilva and freshman goalkeeper Patrick Walsh, there will be another season and another shot at the A-Sun Championship.
So while the scene may have looked the same as it did last season when the Bisons fell 3-2 to Jacksonville in the semifinals at Stetson University in Deland, Fla., the feelings of the team are quite different.
"Last year after we lost I can remember the senior members of the team asking me what I was going to do next year," said Morrow. "At the time I laughed and said we would be fine.
"This year after the loss there is a greater hope for the future because we are so young. But at the same time we are losing T.J. And Ricardo Atti and those are big losses."
The Bisons allowed the first goal of the game when Kristian Lassen scored at 10:33.
At the 28:11 mark of the first half Bisons' midfielder Angel Chairez scored from the top right of the box with an assist from Williams.
At intermission the game was tied 1-1. The Bisons out shot Jacksonville 8-4 in the first 45 minutes.
In the second half the Bisons took a 2-1 lead as DaSilva scored on a one-on-one breakaway beating Jacksonville goalkeeper Joey Sanchez to the right side of the net.
It looked like the Bisons were going to move to the finals when Lassen scored his second goal of the game with 3:32 left to play in regulation.
Both teams had six shots in the second half. In the first overtime Jacksonville had the only shot. In the second overtime Lipscomb held a 4-3 edge. The Bisons also held a slight 8-7 advantage in shots on goal overall.
"I certainly thought that we deserved better in this game," said Morrow. "I thought our team was better than a third seed, though that is the spot we earned.
"We fully anticipated coming here and winning it. We felt good about the penalty kick situation. I would still use the same players. We were just unlucky."
The Bisons are 2-2 in A-Sun Tournament games with two wins in the quarterfinals and two losses in the semifinals.
"The thing we talked about a little after the game is that our goal is not to get past the semis and win the finals or to get to the finals," said Morrow. "We just have to continue the same rate of improvement that we have had. If we can continue to improve like we have over the last three years or so we will be just fine."
The Bisons finished 10-8-3 for the season. Jacksonville is 10-8-1.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After picking up their second straight New England Women's and Men's Swimming and Diving title two weeks ago, MIT's No. 6 women's swimming and diving squad saw 10 members of the team gain invitations to the NCAA Division III Women's Swimming and Diving Championships that will be held later this month. The Engineers qualified all five of their relays, as well as swimmers in several individual events.
After earning Rookie of the Year honors at the NEWMAC Championships, freshman Emily Ryan (Indianapolis, Ind.) will be returning to her hometown as a qualifier in three individual events. She earned invites in the 200, 500 and 1650 Free events after winning the 500 and 1650 races in school record times at the NEWMAC meet. Junior Anna Kokensparger (Omaha, Neb.) joins Ryan as a three-event individual qualifier, garnering invites in the 100 Free, 200 IM and 100 Fly.
Sophomore Katelyn Rossick (Middletown, Md.) also was invited to three individual events, the 200 and 400 IMs along with the 200 Back. Another three individual event qualifier was sophomore Christy Rogers (Bend, Ore.) who earned the selection in the 50 and 100 Free races as well as the 200 Back.
Getting the nod in a pair of individual events was sophomore Calley Murphy (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) who will take part in the 100 and 200 Breast events after winning both at the NEWMAC Championships. Freshman Eann Tuan (Richardson, Texas) will swim in one individual event for the Engineers, the 100 Back.
With the 200, 400 and 800 Free relays, as well as the 200 and 400 Medley relays all qualifying, several other members of the team will compete as parts of those teams. Senior Amy Jacobi (Cranbury, N.J.), junior Elina Hu (Oshkosh, Wis.) and freshmen Michelle Cunningham (Wayland, Mass.) and Nicole Ozminkowski (Saline, Mich.) will all participate in the national championships as members of at least one of the relays.
MIT, which finished 15th as a team at the NCAA Championships a year ago, will travel to Indianapolis, Indiana this year for the finals, which will be held March 21-24 at the IU Natatorium.

Publisher THQ on Monday revealed to IGN that it plans to bring the popular Destroy All Humans! franchise to Sony's systems. The game, officially dubbed Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed, is being developed from the ground up for Wii by Locomotive Games, and is set for release early next year. Ports of Big Willy Unleashed will be made available to PlayStation 2 and PSP. Meanwhile, an entirely separate DAH project, Path of Furon, is being created by Sandblast Games for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and will also be available in 2008's first half.
"The Destroy All Humans! franchise has consistently delivered a unique combination of fun and original gameplay delivering irreverent humor and over the top destruction that has garnered worldwide critical acclaim and commercial success," said Bob Aniello, senior vice president of worldwide marketing, THQ. "The simultaneous release of two all-new Destroy All Humans! titles means gamers can expect different experiences that utilize the unique technology of the leading gaming platforms."
"Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon will take advantage of the powerful Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, offering high-definition graphics, expanded open-world gameplay and a humorous story following Crypto on his journey of enlightenment and destruction," said Jack Sorenson, executive vice president of worldwide studios, THQ. "The Wii's capabilities served as a springboard in designing Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed, and the game will take full advantage of the Wii Remote, allowing gamers to cause massive destruction on foot, in Crypto's UFO or at the controls of the Big Willy mech."
Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed for PS2 takes place before Path of Furon. Gamers will play as Crypto in a "funked out" version of the 19070s. They will be able to travel through and destroy an immense city either on foot or by UFO.
We'll have more on the game soon, but for now check out the first screenshots.

Starts the week of January 22nd
What is Kindergarten Club?
Kindergarten Club typically starts in January during the last year of preschool. This unique program is designed to help our students become more comfortable with the transition into Kindergarten, fine tune the skills necessary to enter elementary school and celebrate this upcoming special milestone in their lives in a variety of fun and challenging ways.
What can my child expect at Kindergarten Club?
Students will be exposed to a variety of Kindergarten readiness skills: writing practice, imagination development, journaling, science, math and literature-based activities. Through our thoughtfully planned curriculum, our students will develop longer attention and concentration spans while learning the basic concepts that are expected in Kindergarten. In addition our students will learn critical safety skills like reciting and writing their address and telephone number as well as understanding when and how to dial 911.
What are your outcomes of Kindergarten Club?
A 2016 research study shows 93% of Cadence Education® students to be ready for Kindergarten (we don't want to brag, but 70% tested at an advanced readiness for kindergarten).*
Our students are very proud to be a part of Kindergarten Club. They wear their special Kindergarten Club T-shirt and personal name badge with pride. By June they have a wonderful collection of the special activities they've completed, compiled in their K-Club Book.
Why is Kindergarten Club important?
We personally believe Kindergarten Club reduces or eliminates the anxiety and apprehension children may experience with the thought of leaving the comfort of their friends and teachers at preschool. Kindergarten Club helps to build confidence and creates a smooth and worry-free transition into elementary school for all.
A recent article in Bloomberg titled "Ten Reasons Why Early Childhood Education Pays Off", states that "when a young child enters kindergarten ready for school, there is an 82 percent chance that child will master basic skills by age 11, compared with a 45 percent chance for children who are not school ready."
*Study using Scholastic Kindergarten readiness test conducted with 1093 four year olds enrolled in a full-time program, who had been with Cadence Education® at least a year.

Imagine corn seed spurring one to look more closely at who one considers a friend?
The original strain of Stowell's Sweet Corn was bred by Nathaniel Newman Stowell. Stowell was born May 16, 1793 in New Ipswich, Massachusetts. After years of refining the strain, Nathaniel sold two ears of seed for $4.00 to a friend who agreed to use it only for his private use. His "friend" then turned around and sold the seed for $20,000 and it was introduced to the seed trade in 1848. Could this friend not have split the profit? Or at the very least, paid him back the $4.00?
In any case, after 151 years, his variety is still the leading white variety for home gardens and market growers. Ears grow 8-9" long and have 14-20 rows of kernels, 1-2 ears per stalk, and will be yours to eat in just 80-100 days should you plant them in your own garden. If you would like to purchase seed, it is available at Seed Savers Exchange.
Otherwise, please be on the lookout for Stowell's Sweet Corn at farmers markets and restaurants around Rhode Island at harvest time.

In this final post on Jesus and Adam in Paul's thought, I want to move into Paul's claims in 1 Corinthians 15. This, in addition to Romans 5, is where Paul calls Adam a "type" of Christ and directly addresses the connection between them.
As in Romans 5, 1 Corinthians 15 first brings Adam into the discussion to compare him to Christ as one human who determined the fate of all humanity. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul's exposition of Adam is more clearly set within a larger framework of Jesus as representative of a new humanity. As Paul puts it, the resurrected Christ is the firstfruits of a larger harvest of resurrection-life, i.e., the resurrection of believers (1 Cor. 15:20). This offsets the work of Adam as the firstfruits of a harvest of death (1 Cor. 15:21).
The major thrust of these posts on Adam and Christ has been that we cannot separate Genesis 1-3 from the function these chapters perform throughout the canon. This is true for the blessings of "fruitfulness and multiplication," as we have seen. It is also true for reversing the death that Adam and Eve were stricken with for their disobedience in the garden.
The hope that saturates the Pentateuch is that obedience to the Torah will lead to life. Where Adam and Eve were given one command as they lived in the presence of God's garden, Israel is given numerous commands, including, especially, those tied to the Tabernacle. Where Adam and Eve were given the garden to serve and keep (2:15), the Levites are to serve and keep the Tabernacle (Num. 3:7-8; 8:26)—itself adorned with trees, fruits, and guardian angels evocative of the lost garden. The Levites are "second Adam" figures, representing all the community in presence of God, even ransoming their lives for God (Num. 3:11-13).
Again, in the Old Testament itself, the story of Adam is told not simply to tell us "what happened." It tells us who Israel is called to be before God and how Israel-as-Adam is both God's means for affirming his purposes in creation, and for reversing the shortcomings still inherent in the world, as we know it.
Now back to Paul. He claims in 1 Corinthians 15 that Christ's work represents humanity by bringing it life even as Adam's work represents humanity by bringing it death. When he does so, he is joining with the Old Testament writers in reading Israel's story as God's means for setting the entirety of creation to rights. This is not a claim that requires a historical Adam as depicted in Genesis 1-3, though it does depend on taking those creation stories seriously as reflecting God's intentions for humanity on the earth.
Paul's use of the Adam story follows in a long trajectory of Jewish use of these stories. Not only do they reverberate through the Pentateuch, but also into the traditions of Israel's kings. The kings of Israel, like Adam, are seen as sons of God who rule the world on God's behalf (Gen. 1:16-28; 2 Sam. 7:9-16; Ps. 2; Ps. 110). The Adam story sets the trajectories for the story of Israel, as the writers of the creation accounts, themselves, tie Adam to Israel in the Pentateuch, and as the imagery is found in other OT writers.
So when we find Paul engaging in an extended contrast between the first and last Adam, we are not encountering any new mandate that Adam be a particular historical figure. We are in the presence of a Jewish man participating in the long tradition of retelling the creation story so that it dovetails with his understanding of how God is at work to save the world by means of human agency. The very presence of two creation narratives in Genesis 1-3 indicates that historicity was not the principal concern when these stories were first told. There is no reason to add such a requirement when the apostle Paul takes up the stories.
"The first Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual" (1 Cor. 15:45-46). The case Paul makes here is simply that Jesus is the representative of a new kind of humanity. Embodied, yes. But with a Spiritual, resurrection body. Perhaps it is important to note here that the point is contrast: the resurrected Jesus is not like Adam. The image of God has been remade, so that those who are "in Christ" will bear the heavenly image. Jesus is the start of something new.
The resurrection of Jesus was a surprise. It was not expected that the Messiah would be crucified and raised from the dead, and thereby enthroned. When we see Paul invoking Adam as a point of comparison and contrast, we are observing theological reflection at work striving to communicate how it is that Jesus determines the destiny of all humanity. The determining factor for Paul is not what Genesis 1-3 tells us about Adam, but what his vision of the resurrected messiah tells him about the climax of Israel's story.
Surprise! The Torah is not God's means of salvation!
Surprise! An accursed death is redemptive!
Surprise! Jesus is the new humanity, and the rest of us will follow in his train.
In light of these (and other such surprises), Paul reinterprets the story of Adam in light of the Christ event. His convictions about Christ do not ride on Genesis 1-3 taking place just so in history. His assessments of Adam ride on his convictions about God's redeeming work in Christ.
For Paul, as for the writers of the OT, the creation stories are true introductions to the story of God irrespective of their literal historicity.

They have been mentioned, BUT you have to be willing to see them.
I think you fail in that aspect.
BillWatson wrote:We need to encourage cycling
Oh yes, we do.
And I wil follow this up with a valid reason for not registering bikes.
Registration for bikes wil not encourage cycling.
Cycling is a cheap and easy alternative to driving.
Add registratition, and all off the benefits are gone, straight away.
Not easy, cos you have to register first , not cheap , cos you gotta pay..
It wil not encourage cycling !!
BillWatson wrote:If I may I would like to pose a couple of hypothetical for general discussion
1. On a nice sunny day on a a shared bike path a mother and young child are walking along the left hand side of the path. 2 cyclists riding two abreast, and at speed , fly past and without sounding their bell. One of the riders hits the small child with his peddle causing very bad injuries. Then races on without stopping. Question, how is the mother to hold the cyclist to account for this?
Lets hypothetically assume we have rego for cyclist.
And we replay the same scenario...
The cyclist could been riding without rego, its not uncommon for riders to break the law, so why not this one...
the rego could not have been visible...
And if it was perfectly visible, you got realisticly 1 split second to look at the rego, remember it...
if not he is gone and you got nothing...
And then, even if you got the rego, you wil have to go to the police, and it wil be he said she said...
if the cyclist claims, I did not do it..
then what ??
Being able to provide a rego number proves nothing..
Having a rego does not always result in the bad person being 'punished'
I can give you an example of a cyclist pov, ...
Often there are situations, where cars are doing something wrong , AND putting the cyclist in a dangerous situation.
Often the cyclist has video, and the rego of the car.
They go to the police.
Result, NOTHING HAPPENS !!!
If you want to change things, dont ask for rego for cyclist.
ask the police to do what they are payed to do,

The Concentration Camps
1. Introduction
The concentration camps in which Britain killed 27 000 Boer women and children(24000) during the Second War of Independence (1899 - 1902) today still have far-reaching effects on the existence of the Boerevolk.
This holocaust once more enjoyed close scrutiny during the visit of the queen of England to South Africa, when ten organisations promoting the independence of the Boer Republics, presented her with a message, demanding that England redress the wrongs committed against the Boerevolk.
|Family arrived at the consentration camp
2. Background
The Second War of Independence was fought from 1899 to 1902 when England laid her hands on the mineral riches of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (Transvaal) under the false pretence of protecting the rights of the foreigners who swarmed to the Transvaal gold fields.
On the battlefield England failed to get the better of the Boers, and decided to stoop to a full-scale war against the Boer women and children, employing a holocaust to force the burghers to surrender.
3. Course of the holocaust
3.1. The war against women and children begins
Under the command of Kitchener, Milner and Roberts, more than homesteads and farms belonging to Boer people were plundered and burned down. Animals belonging to the Boers were killed in the cruelest ways possible while the women, whose men were on the battlefield, had to watch helplessly.
|Killing sheep
|Leaving the sheep rotten
The motive behind this action was the destruction of the farms in order to prevent the fighting burghers from obtaining food, and to demoralise the Boers by leaving their women and children homeless on the open veld.
|Before the blast
|The blast
|Destroyed for king and country
However, England misjudged the steel of the Boer people. Despite their desperate circumstances, the women and children managed to survive fairly well in the open and their men continued their fight against the invader.
|Women and children on the run - away from the English
More severe measures had to be taken. The English hoarded the Boer women and children into open cattle trucks or drove them on foot to concentration camps.
3.2. False pretences
To the world England pretended to act very humanely by caring for the fighting Boers' women and children in "refugee camps". An English school textbook published in 1914 in Johannesburg, but printed in England, Historical Geography: South Africa, by JR Fisher, makes the following claim:
"During the later stages of the war, the relations, women and
children, of those Boers still in the field, were fed and cared
for at the expense of Great Britain, a method of procedure which,
though humane, postponed the end of the war, at the expense of
many valuable lives and much money."
|This statement is contradicted by various sources. The Cape Argus of 21 June 1900 clearly states that the destitution of these women and children was the result of the English's plundering of farms: "Within 10 miles we (the English) burned not less than six farm homesteads. Between 30 and 40 homesteads were burned and totally destroyed between Bloemfontein and Boshoff. Many others were also burned down. With their houses destroyed, the women and children were left in the bitter South African winter in the open." The British history text book says nothing about this.
Awfully generous of the English to care for those whose houses they destroyed!
Breytenbach writes in Danie Theron: "The destruction was undertaken in a diabolic way and even Mrs Prinsloo, a 22 year old lady who gave birth to a baby only 24 hours ago in the house of Van Niekerk, was not spared. A group of rude tommies (British soldiers), amongst whom a so-called English doctor, forced their way into her room, and after making a pretence of examining her, they drove her out of the house. With the aid of her sister, she managed to don a few articles of clothing and left the house. Her mother brought a blanket to protect her against the cold. The soldiers robustly jerked the blanket out of her mother's hands and after having looted whatever they wanted to, put the house to fire. Afterwards the old man was driven on foot to Kroonstad by mounted kakies (British soldiers), while his wife and daughter (Mrs Prinsloo) were left destitute on the scorched farm."
England's claim of caring for the Boer women reminds one of somebody who boasts to have saved the life of someone he himself has pushed into the water. However, there is one vital difference: The holocaust on the Boer women and children began in all earnest once they had been forced into the concentration camps under the "care" of the British!
|Family at the beginning - newly arrived with tea and bread (English Propaganda).
Despite the English claims that the concentration camps were "voluntary refugee camps" the following questions must be asked:
- From whom did the refugees flee? Certainly not from their own husbands and sons!
- How can the fact that the "voluntary" women and children had to be dragged to the concentration camps by force be explained?
- Why should the "voluntary refugee camps" be enclosed by barbed wire fences and the inmates be overseen by armed wardens? Kimberley camp had a five meter high barbed wire fence and some camps even had two or three fences!
- Why would one of the camp commanders make the following statement quoted by Emily Hobhouse: "The wardens were under orders not to interfere with the inmates, unless they should try to escape."? What kind of "voluntary refugee" would want to escape?
Perhaps the words of the Welsh William Redmond are closer to the truth: "The way in which these wretched, unfortunate and poor women and children are treated in South Africa is barbarous, outrageous, scandalous and disgraceful."
3.3. Planning for death
The English claim of decent actions towards the Boer women and children are further contradicted by the location of the concentration camps. The military authorities, who often had to plan and erect camps for their soldiers, would certainly have been well aware of the essential requirements for such camps. Yet the concentration camps were established in the most unsuitable locations possible.
At Standerton the camp was erected on both banks of the Vaal River. It was on the Highveld, which ensured that it was extremely cold in winter and infested with mosquitoes in summer. The fact that Standerton had turf soil and a high rainfall, ensured that the camp was one big mud bath in summer, even inside the tents.
The same circumstances were experienced in camps such as Brandfort, Springfontein and Orange River. At Pretoria, the Irene Camp was located at the chilly southern side of the town, while the northern side had a much more favourable climate. Balmoral, Middelburg and other camps were also located on the south-eastern hangs of the hills to ensure that the inhabitants were exposed to the icy south easterly winds.
Merebank camp was located in a swamp where there was an abundance of various kinds of insects. Water oozed out of the ground, ensuring that everything was constantly wet and slimy.
By October 1900 there were already 58 883 people in concentration camps in Transvaal and 45 306 in the Free State.
|The amenities in the camps were clearly planned to kill as many of the women and children as possible. They were accommodated in tattered reject tents which offered no protection against the elements.
Emily Hobhouse, the Cornish lady who campaigned for better conditions for the Boer women, wrote: "Throughout the night there was a downpour. Puddles of water were everywhere. They tried to get themselves and their possessions dry on the soaked ground."
(Hobhouse: Brunt of the War, page 169.)
Dr Kendal Franks reports on the Irene Camp: "In one of the tents there were three families; parents and children, a total of 14 people and all were suffering from measles."
In Springfontein camp, 19 to 20 people where crammed into one tent.
There were neither beds nor mattresses and nearly the whole camp population had to sleep on the bare ground, which was damp most of the time.
One person wrote the following plea for aid to the New York Herald: "In the name of small children who have to sleep in open tents without fire, with barely any clothes, I plea for help."
3.4. Let them die of hunger
|According to a British journalist, WT Stead, the concentration camps were nothing more than a cruel torture machine. He writes: "Every one of these children who died as a result of the halving of their rations, thereby exerting pressure onto their family still on the battle-field, was purposefully murdered. The system of half rations stands exposed and stark and unshamefully as a cold-blooded deed of state policy employed with the purpose of ensuring the surrender of people whom we were not able to defeat on the battlefield."
The detainees received no fruit or vegetables; not even milk for the babies.
The meat and flour issued were crawling with maggots. Emily Hobhouse writes: "I have in my possession coffee and sugar which were described as follows by a London analyst: In the case of the first, 66% imitation, and in the case of the second, sweepings from a warehouse."
In her book, Met die Boere in die Veld (With the Boers in the field), Sara Raal states that "there were poisonous sulphate of copper, grounded glass, fishhooks, and razor blades in the rations." The evidence given on this fact is so overwhelming that it must be regarded as a historical fact.
3.5. No hygiene
The outbreak of disease and epidemics in the camps were further promoted by, inter alia, the lack of sanitary conveniences. Bloemfontein camp had only 13 toilets for more than 3 500 people. Aliwal North camp had one toilet for every 170 people.
|A British physician, Dr Henry Becker, writes: "First, they chose an ill-suited site for the camp. Then they supplied so little water that the people could neither wash themselves nor their clothes. Furthermore, they made no provision for sufficient waste removal. And lastly, they did not provide enough toilets for the overpopulation they had crammed into the camps."
A report on a Ladies' Committee's visit to Bloemfontein camp stated: "They saw how the women tried to wash clothes in small puddles of water and sometimes had to use the water more than once."
3.6. Hospitals of homicide
Ill and healthy people were crammed together into unventilated areas conducive to the spreading of disease and epidemics. At first there were no medical amenities whatsoever in the camps.
Later doctors were appointed, but too few. In Johannesburg there was one doctor for every 4 000 afflicted patients.
A report on the Irene camp states that, out of a population of 1325 detainees, 154 were ill and 20 had died during the previous week. Still this camp had only one doctor and no hospital.
In some camps matters were even worse. The large Bloemfontein camp did not have a single doctor; only one nurse who could not possibly cope with the conditions. During a visit to Norvalspont camp Emily Hobhouse could not even find a trained nurse.
The later appointment of medical personnel did not improve the conditions. They were appointed for their loyalty towards the British invasion; not for their medical capability. They maltreated the Boere.
Emily Hobhouse tells the story of the young Lizzie van Zyl who died in the Bloemfontein concentration camp: "She was a frail, weak little child in desperate need of good care. Yet, because her mother was one of the 'undesirables' due to the fact that her father neither surrendered nor betrayed his people, Lizzie was placed on the lowest rations and so perished with hunger that, after a month in the camp, she was transferred to the new small hospital. Here she was treated harshly. The English disposed doctor and his nurses did not understand her language and, as she could not speak English, labelled her an idiot although she was mentally fit and normal. One day she dejectedly started calling:
Mother! Mother! I want to go to my mother! One Mrs Botha walked over to her to console her. She was just telling the child that she would soon see her mother again, when she was brusquely interrupted by one of the nurses who told her not to interfere with the child as she was a nuisance." Shortly afterwards, Lizzie van Zyl died.
Treu, a medical assistant in the Johannesburg concentration camp, stated that patients were bullied and even lashed with a strap.
Ill people who were taken to the camp hospitals were as good as dead. One woman declared: "We fear the hospitals more than death."
The following two reports should give an idea of the inefficiency of the camp hospitals: "Often people suffering from a minor ailment were violently removed from the tents of protesting mothers or family members to be taken to hospital. After a few days they were more often than not carried to the grave."
"Should a child leave the hospital alive, it was simply a miracle."
(Both quotations from Stemme uit die Verlede - a collection of sworn statements by women who were detained in the concentration camps during the Second War of Independence.)
3.7. The highest sacrifice
In total 27 000 women and children made the highest sacrifice in the British hell camps during the struggle for the freedom of the Boerevolk.
Mrs Helen Harris, who paid a visit to the Potchefstroom concentration camp, stated: "Imagine a one year old baby who receives no milk; who has to drink water or coffee - there is no doubt that this is the cause of the poor health of the children."
Should one take note of the fact that it were the English who killed the Boers' cattle with bayonets, thereby depriving the children of their food sources, then the high fatality rate does not seem to be incidental.
Despite shocking fatality figures in the concentration camps, the English did nothing to improve the situation, and the English public remained deaf to the lamentations in the concentration camps as thousands of people, especially children, were carried to their graves.
The Welshman, Lloyd George, stated: "The fatality rate of our soldiers on the battlefields, who were exposed to all the risks of war, was 52 per thousand per year, while the fatalities of women and children in the camps were 450 per thousand per year. We have no right to put women and children into such a position."
An Irishman, Dillon, said: "I can produce and endless succession of confirmations that the conditions in most of the camps are appalling and brutal. To my opinion the fatality rate is nothing less than cold-blooded murder."
One European had the following comment on England's conduct with the concentration camps: "Great Britain cannot win her battles without resorting to the despicable cowardice of the most loathsome cure on earth - the act of striking at a brave man's heart through his wife's honour and his child's life."
The barbarousness of the English is strongly evidenced by the way in which they unceremoniously threw the corpses of children in heaps on mule carts to be transported to the cemeteries. The mourning mothers had to follow on foot. Due to illness or fatigue many of them could not follow fast enough and had to miss the funerals of their children.
According to PF Bruwer, author of Vir Volk en Vryheid, all the facts point out that the concentration camps, also known as the hell camps, were a calculated and deliberate effort by England to commit a holocaust on the Boerevolk
4. Consequences
4.1. "Peace"
As a direct result of the concentration camps, the "Peace Treaty" of Vereeniging was signed, according to which the Boer Republics came under British rule.
4.2. Called up by the enemy
It is a bitter irony that during World War I England laid claim to the same boys who survived the concentration camps to fight against Germany, which was well-disposed towards the Boerevolk.
Thereby they had to lay their lives upon the line for the second time to the benefit of England.
Kroniek van die Kampkinders (Chronicle of the camp children) by HS van Blerk describes how, after World War I, this generation were, in addition, kept out of the labour force and how they were impoverished - all simply because they were Boers.
4.3. Immortalised in our literature
In this modern world it seems as if few people realise the hardships our forefathers had to endure in order to lose our freedom only without forfeiting the honour of our people.
Therefore, it is proper to look at the reflection of the concentration camps in our literature, where the nobility of our forefathers is immortalised.
(In the translation of Afrikaans into an other language, it is unavoidable that most of the splendour of the original words will be lost, but the translator will do his utmost to at least convey the message.)
A new song to an old tune
C Louis Leipoldt (excerpt)
You, who are the hope of our people;
You, who our people can barely spare;
You, who should grow up to become a man;
You, who must perform your duty, if you can;
You, who have no part in the war;
You, who should sing and jump for joy -
You must perish in a children's camp
You must be eliminated for peace:
Fold your hands tight together,
Close your eyes and say amen!
Whooping-cough and consumption, without milk:
bitter for you is the fate of life!
There is your place, at the children's graves -
Two in one coffin, a wedding couple!
Al you gain is that we will remember:
Our freedom more precious than woman or child!
In the Concentration Camp
(Aliwal North, 1901) C Louis Leipoldt (excerpt)
You are cringing away from the gusts of the wind
The chill seeping through the hail-torn tent -
Your scanty shield against torturing torrents;
The June chill bursts over the banks of the Vaal -
And all you can hear are the coughs from your child, and the
ceaseless patter of rain on the canvas.
A candle stub, just an inch before death
faintly flickering in a bottle
(a sty offers more comfort and rest)
But here, at night every thought is
a round of torture and tears.
Here, the early-born child flounders
Here, the aged fades away
Here, all you can hear is wailing and sighs
Here, every second is a lifetime of dread;
Every minute leaves scars
on your soul, sacrifice without end.
Forgive? Forget? Is it possible to forgive?
The sorrow, the despair demanded so much!
The branding iron painfully left its scar
on our nation, for ages to see, and the wound is too raw -
Too close to our heart and to deep in our souls -
"Patience, o patience, how much can you bear?"
Leipoldt also wrote heartbreaking verses on a soap box to the memory of children who could at least be buried in this luxury:
They made you in England, little soap box
To serve as coffin for our children
They found little corpses for you, soap box
And I have witnessed you as coffin.
Equally unforgettable is AG Visser's description of an orphan in the concentration camp in his poem,
The Youngest Burgher:
The camp of women is ruled by silence and darkness
The misery kindly concealed by the night
Here and there a minute light is flickering
Where the Angel of Death is lingering.
In this place of woe and of broken hearts
A young boy's muffled whimpers quiver through the night
Who can count all the tears, who can measure the grief
of an orphan alone in the world
Later on in the poem De Wet describes the struggle to the escaped child who wishes to join the commando:
Freedom demands from our ranks
Men of courage who taunt mortal danger.
But also in the camp, the mother, the nurturer
And the innocent child on her breast.
And the reward? Perhaps on the plains
A lonesome grave doused by no tears.
Sometime, perhaps, posterity might honour our heroes...
Boy, do you feel up to it? General, I do!
4.4. We may not forget
In total there were 31 concentration camps. In most cases, the adjoining cemeteries are in still in existence and are visited as often as possible by Boer people to mentally condition themselves to continue their struggle towards freedom.
There were concentration camps at: Irene, Barberton, Volksrust, Belfast, Klerksdorp, Pietersburg, Potchefstroom, Vereeniging, Turffontein, Balmoral, Nylstroom, Standerton, Heilbron, Kimberley, Bloemfontein, Middelburg, Kroonstad, Heidelberg, Krugersdorp, Vryburg, Vredefort, Brandfort, Springfontein, Bethulie, Norvalspont, Port Elizabeth, Aliwal North, Merebank, Pinetown, Howick and Pietermaritzburg.
4.5. Pillars of support
Amidst all the misery brought upon our people by the English, there were pillars of support: firstly the certainty that our cause was just and fair and based upon faith. However, there also were people who made major sacrifices in an effort to ease the burden of Boer women and children.
No study of the concentration camps could possibly be complete without mention of the name of Emily Hobhouse. This Cornish lady was a symbol of light and decency for Boer women and children.
Emily Hobhouse did everything within her power to assist the women and children. As a result of her efforts to persuade the invaders towards an attitude of humanity and reason, she was banned from South Africa by the British authorities.
However, the Boerevolk remains grateful towards Emily Hobhouse for her efforts and her remains are resting in a place of honour under the Women's Monument in Bloemfontein.
Other people who spoke out against the barbaric methods of England were: J Ellis (Irish), Lloyd George (Welsh), CP Scott (Scottish), William Redmond (Welsh) and Ramsey McDonald (Scottish).
5. Effects
- Today, the numbers of the Boerevolk are at least 3 million less that it would have been, had the English not committed genocide on the Boerevolk. This robs our people of our right to self-determination in the new so-called democratic system. (In truth, democracy means government by the people and not government by the rabble as is presently the case in South Africa.")
- The holocaust, together with treason committed by Afrikaners (take note: not Boere) such as Jan Smuts and Louis Botha, forced the Boerevolk to sign the peace accord of Vereeniging which deprived our volk of its freedom.
- The alien and inferior British culture was forced onto our people.
- The various indigenous peoples of South Africa were insensitively bundled into one Union without giving a thought to their respective identities and right to self-determination.
- As in the case of the Boerevolk, the local black nations were effectively robbed of their freedom, which gave rise to the establishment of the ANC in 1912 (two years after the foundation of the Union) to struggle for black nationalism.
- The British system of apartheid, which they applied all over the world (for instance also in India, Australia and New-Zealand), had to be imported to control the mixed population. The first manifestation of this were signs reading "Europeans" and "Non-Europeans". No Boer ever regarded himself as a "European". Apartheid invoked racial friction and even racial hatred which has in no means abated to this very day, and the bitter irony is that the Boerevolk, who had not been in power since 1902 and who also suffered severely under apartheid in the sense that apartheid robbed them of their land and their work-ethics, are being blamed for apartheid today.
- England's pretence for the invasion was the rights of the foreign miners. Yet after the war, these very same miners were treated so badly by their English and Jewish bosses that they had to resort to general strikes in 1913 and 1922 (3 and 12 years after the establishment of the British ruled Union), during which many mine-workers were shot dead in the streets of Johannesburg by the British disposed Union government. So much for the rights of the foreign miners under English rule.
- The efficient and equitable republican system of government of the Boer Republics was replaced with the unworkable Westminster system of government, which led to endless misery and conflict.
6. Summation
The concentration camps were a calculated and intentional holocaust committed on the Boerevolk by England with the aim of annihilating the Boerevolk and reeling in the Boer Republics.
Comparing the killing of Jews during World War 2, proportionately fewer Jews were killed than Boer women and children during the Second War of Independence.
Yet, after World War 2, England mercilessly insisted on a frantic retribution campaign against the whole German nation for the purported Jewish holocaust. To this day, Germany is being forced to pay annual compensation to the Jews, which means that Germans who were not even born at the time of World War 2, still have to suffer today for alleged atrocities committed by the Germans. Should England subject herself to the same principles applied to Germany, then England must do everything within her power to reinstitute the Boer republics and to pay annual compensation to the Boerevolk for the atrocities committed against the Boerevolk.

Conclusions and Recommendations
Growing Gaps in Decent Work for Young People in the Aftermath of the Global Economic Crisis
Across regions, young people are disproportionately affected by unemployment, underemployment, vulnerable employment and working poverty. Even during periods of economic growth, many economies have been unable to absorb large youth populations into the labour market. In recent years, however, the global financial and economic crisis has further hit young people particularly hard in the developed world.
The Situation of Youth Employment: Trends and Young People's Views
From 11 to 17 October (Week I) 2011, the United Nations e-discussion on youth employment was open to all to share views and discuss the overall situation of young people in the labour market as well as key trends in youth employment. There were more than 300 comments posted by young people world-wide. Participation was particularly high from the African region.
Youth Unemployment, Underemployment and Vulnerable Employment
What the research shows: The need to provide more and better jobs for young people exists across countries. However, youth employment challenges tend to differ in developed and developing economies. The developed world has been most significantly affected by youth unemployment spikes due to the global economic crisis, and its core challenge is the provision of work opportunities for young people who are entering the labour market.
Young People in the Informal Economy and among the Working Poor
Most young workers in developing countries are in the informal economy, which includes unpaid family work to which young people often contribute (International Labour Organization, 2010, p. 3). Work in the informal economy does not provide access to entitlements such as health insurance, social security and other social protection measures.
