School experts have warned this year's matric results could drop as many Grade 12 teachers in state schools struggle to prepare pupils to write a compulsory section on Euclidean geometry and probability for the first time.
School experts have warned this year's matric results could drop as many Grade 12 teachers in state schools struggle to prepare pupils to write a compulsory section on Euclidean geometry and probability for the first time.
Euclidean maths, formerly included in the maths curriculum before being thrown out by the Basic Education Department in 2008, involves the properties of shapes. It dates back to Greek mathematician Euclid's theories of circles and triangles in 300BC.
Wits University maths education expert Lynn Bowie indicates that providing proof in the answers is a strong element of the content, which required a thorough understanding by teachers.
The content was reintroduced in 2010 when universities warned that matriculants signing up for engineering and related courses were not coping because they had no knowledge of Euclidean concepts.
This year all Grade 12 pupils will write two maths papers that will include the concepts, which were previously tested in the optional maths paper three.
The Department of Basic Education argues that with the implementation of the new Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) in Grade 10 in 2012, the teaching and testing of both learning areas was compulsory. The Department of Education wants the current Grade 12 class to be tested in these learning areas in both maths papers this year.
NAPTOSA and maths experts such as Lynn Bowie of Wits argue that teachers had not been teaching the Euclidean concepts because they didn't know how to go about the subject. Our fear as NAPTOSA is that if teachers' knowledge is limited, kids will obviously struggle. NAPTOSA is of the opinion that the Department of Education should have trained the teachers and introduced this more gently as it covers a fairly big chunk of the curriculum.
It is a known fact that a lot of focus is on results in this country and if the introduction of this subject is implemented in a 'big bang approach', the consequences may be detrimental.
NAPTOSA is in doubt as to whether we have the requisite number of teachers able to teach this. We have to ask what the department has done to prepare teachers, to ensure they are ready. Teachers need to be well prepared to teach the subject. "We cannot set up our teachers and learners for failure"
If not properly introduced, results-focused schools could channel matric pupils to softer options such as channelling their pupils into maths literacy.

The Cowboys are facing a tough stretch in their upcoming schedule with three games in 12 days. Two of those three games are going to be on the road, and it will be a tough road especially, because while the Cowboys seem healthy, Romo's back could be in danger with these upcoming games.Twitter and Facebook
Tag Archives: NFL
Is it too soon to worry for Cowboys fans?
The Dallas Cowboys were the hottest team in the NFL going into their Monday night match-up with the Washington Redskins, and the game was a typical battle between division foes. Then the worst fear happened when quarterback Tony Romo went down with an injury to his already tender back.

Should Roger Goodell Step Down?
It has been a rough go for the NFL Commissioner as of late, it seems like every day is some new breaking news about something else to only help tarnish the shield. While he has been a tough commissioner to end off the field issues, it is this latest batch of domestic violence stories which have seemed to send him cowering into the corner.Twitter and Facebook
The Tarnished Shield
When Roger Goodell took over as commissioner he came out and decided to be an "iron fisted" authority figure. He wanted to "protect the shield" and keep all off the field activities to a minimum. At the beginning it seemed to work and things got quiet on the off the field front, but lately, things have been bad for the commissioner and the NFL.Twitter and Facebook
My Thoughts on Ray Rice
I am going to do something different here, and I am going to be very opinionated about this issue and will not hold back from telling it like it is from my perspective. This story has taken a few different twists and turns throughout the whole ordeal and at times I thought something more should be done, I wasn't going to be critical of anything because obviously the commissioner and the league had to know more to the story than what was being plastered on webpages and on TV. As we are learning now, they did know more, and they didn't do enough. Everything they are doing now is just to try to hide how wrong they were in the beginning.Twitter and Facebook

Ganapatiphule, Maharashtra
A vast stretch of sandy beach on the western coast of Maharashtra is awash with golden sunshine by day and and silver moonlight at night. Welcome to Ganapatipule, a serene, sedate beach, still untouched by tourist traffic. In other words, walk into paradise.
Travelling to Ganapatipule by road is a vacation in itself. The entire 'konkan' region is picture-perfect: narrow roads, red soil, roofed houses, clean courtyards, innumerable fruit bearing trees and casuarinas lining the coast are a common sight. Besides the beach, Ganapatipule is an important pilgrimage centre. The temple of the 'Swayambhu Ganapati' is known for its unique idol of Lord Ganapati and its magnificent 400-years-old temple.
The Beach:A longish drive takes you to this beach. The road seems to travel on and on and you cannot even get a glimpse of seawater until, from top of a hill you suddenly can see the entire beach with white sand and blue waters - a sight for sore eyes. The beach has rocky stretches - avoid swimming in these parts. However, there is a lagoon where one can paddle a boat. The more adventurous can try balancing a kayak. The beach ends at the base of a small cliff and the view from the top, is breathtaking. There are many trails along the beach, lined with cashew and the mango trees and you can spot some exotic birds. The small green bee-eater has made this place its home -- don't miss its antics.
Nearby Attractions: Nearby is a place called Malgund the birthplace of Keshavsut or Krishnaji Keshav Damle, one of the greatest poets in Maharashtra. North of Ganapatipule is the Jaigad fort, standing atop a hill, at the mouth of a creek
Getting there : The nearest railhead is Ratnagiri 50 kms on the Konkan Railway. The nearest airport is Ratnagiri, 50 kms away. After reaching Ratnagiri you have to travel northwards again, for about 20 km to reach Ganapatipule.

A last chance for a summer picnic saw us heading for Hatfield Heath. Four of us (from North London) decided to head straight for the elevenses at Lee Valley Park Farms. Two of that number were beginning to regret their decision as they went around in circles trying to find the cafe amongst the maze of tracks in the park. They still arrived before the main ride, who had diverted to have a look at the antics of rafters at the White Water Centre nearby.
A fairly direct route took us through the leafy Harlow Town Park and out to Hatfield Heath. Steve's attempt to get a pint at the nearest pub was unsuccessful as the barmaid didn't have the strength to pull the hand engine, but fortunately there was another pub very close by.
Well it was just about warm enough for shorts and the sun made an appearance at lunch-time, so a picnic was not such a mad idea. But we wasted no time in heading for tea at Upshire Church for the last time this year, where the bread pudding was superb.

Ms Whitman added fuel to the issue on Wednesday during an interview with Greta Van Susteren on Fox News Channel, when she said that her now-former housekeeper, Nicky Diaz, should be forced to leave the country,
''It breaks my heart, but she should be deported because she forged documents, and she lied about her immigration status,'' Ms. Whitman said.
The issue of her employment of Ms. Diaz may have hurt her candidacy among both conservatives and liberals.
It undercut Ms. Whitman, a wealthy businesswoman, among Republicans who liked her tough stand on employers who hire illegal immigrants. And the abrupt firing of Ms. Diaz eroded support among liberals and Hispanics.
Her latest comments -- that Ms. Diaz should be deported -- are likely to exacerbate those reactions.
Ms. Whitman has accused her Democratic rival, Jerry Brown, of orchestrating the problem. And she has expressed sadness over having had to fire Ms. Diaz after nine years in her employ.
Despite spending more than $140 million of her own money, Ms. Whitman is struggling in her campaign against Mr. Brown. The latest polls showed her trailing by about 10 points.
This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.

I chanced upon Ives's name first in a Joseph McElroy interview — a reference to the "haunted montage" of the 4th symphony in "Mid-course Corrections" — and then I found further allusions in some of the writings/interviews of Paul Metcalf. More recently I read a review of a biography of the musician and composer in Guy Davenport's The Geography of the Imagination: Forty Essays. Now I have acquired that biography, David Woolridge's From the Steeples to Mountains (Knopf, 1974).
It is very good, written somewhat in the style of Charles Olson's Call Me Ishmael, or even at times with the typographically-inflected quotation-and-collage techniques of Metcalf. I am basically devouring it, which is rarer and rarer for me; it usually takes me weeks to even finish a book of 200 pages. What a fascinating figure Ives was.
One anecdote is too sweet not to share. When Ives was living in NYC as a young bachelor, when he was at the piano writing new compositions and practicing, he would from time to time get a word of strong approval from a neighbor across the way, shouting distantly or unseen, a neighbor by the name of Dick Schweppe. Apparently Ives never learned Schweppe's profession, and trusted his opinion all the more for that. In his notebooks from the time, Ives occasionally makes a note of Dick Schweppe's approval.
"Proposal: a series of regional research and cultural projects—attack each region—using students, locals, natives, whatever—and from every angle, every scholarly discipline, every mode of expression. In the end, for each region, produce a book, and an arts festival."
U.S. Dept. of Interior, Paul Metcalf 1980
Metcalf's credo
Embarking on a 10,000-word article on Metcalf yesterday, or today, and re-reading his first published work, Will West, you re-read that paragraph that gobsmacked you when you first read it & suppose to yourself that even though Will West is a rather inferior work of art it nevertheless contains what might be the most cogent and necessary formulation of Metcalf's credo, manifesting itself in his subsequent body of work year after year:
It is those of us who cannot untangle ourselves from the past that are really dangerous in the present because we are only partly here our eyes are blind because our appetites are turned inward or backward chewing on the cold remnants of our inheritance of our facts of our history to try to find who we are what we are where we came from what is the ground we stand on to whom does it belong and did it belong. We are dangerous because when we come out of the past we are rich with its energies and poorly experienced in the business of daily living and we hurl ourselves across the present with the blind fierceness of a martyr or a convert defending our damage to the defenseless with a language they cannot understand a language created from false concepts of time of history of past present and future. In the end we will bring to the world nothing useful and although we may find what we have been and even what we are nevertheless for all our search the heavy helpless stumbling of men born in quicksand we will never know what we have done.
A chilling admonition, and timely as ever. Lest we be ignorant of our past or our country's past. (Come to think of it, is this just a transparent gloss on Santayana's old adage that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"? Damn.)
Adopting Paul Metcalf
America's frontier is endless, just as any other aspect of our past, our history, is endless, and endlessly available to us. – Paul Metcalf
Certain books enthrall us, set us on a quest to discover more — not just the author's complete bibliography, but the author's influences and acknowledged peers. I think of them as gateway writers. — W.G. Sebald was one for me; because of my total admiration for his books I sought out I don't know how many authors he mentioned in their pages or in interviews – Jean Améry, Alexander von Humboldt, Thomas Bernhard (did I already know Bernhard?), Adelbert Stifter, Gottfried Keller… Later there was Joseph McElroy, whose essays and interviews opened the door to truly dozens of books I might not have discovered until much later, or ever: Nicholas Mosley, Kleist's Michael Kohlhaas, A.R. Ammons, Michel Butor's Mobile and Degrees, Harold Brodkey, Galway Kinnell's terrible Book of Nightmares, E.F. Schumacher's Small Is Beautiful, and last but certainly not least, PAUL METCALF.
In turn, the work of Metcalf came to occupy the same central place in my thoughts as Sebald's & McElroy's before, and Metcalf became a gateway author for me.
Why Metcalf? Metcalf's work plunges us headlong into the history of the Americas in all its manifest plurality. Using sophisticated montage techniques and synthesizing reams of material, always with a poet's ear, Metcalf constructs versions of the historical record that resound into the continuous present. (The past is not even past, to paraphrase Faulkner; indeed, Metcalf's achievement is in part to have captured that immediacy.)
Metcalf's landmark works include :
-Genoa, 1965. Metcalf's early novel, written after he had systematically read through the entirety of Herman Melville's work (Melville was in fact an ancestor of his), explores themes of teratology (monstruousness, and anatomical pathologies), genetics, seafaring, and the elusiveness of identity (in particular, those of Melville and Christopher Columbus).
-Patagoni, 1971. Part travelogue, part meditation on mobility across the American continent, via Henry Ford's invention of the automobile and the native mythologies of Peru, this is as weird and wild as anything Metcalf published. It is segmented into three discontinuous sections. Beautifully published by The Jargon Society — see picture above.
-Apalache, 1976. A kaleidoscopic exploration of the geological and human history of eastern North America, Apalache might be the pinnacle of Metcalf's œuvre. The book's epic scope and its inventive visual prosody are unsurpassable, in my opinion.
-Waters of Potowmack, 1982. A documentary history of the Potomac River watershed, from its discovery and settlement on up to the 1960s, Waters of Potowmack eschews the irregular prosody so characteristic of much of Metcalf's work, in favor of simple blocks of prose. What we have here is a chronological compendium of a place. In a similar vein is Mountaineers Are Always Free! (1991), Metcalf's short history of West Virginia (recommended).
-Those are the big ones. But there are also a great many shorter works not to be missed, including Firebird, U.S. Dept. of Interior, Golden Delicious, and Both. And there are probably a dozen other short ones, in addition to The Middle Passage and I-57. More on these another time, perhaps.

From the jacket of Metcalf's Araminta and the Coyotes (Jargon Society, 1991).
Metcalf was never fashionable, come to think of it, although he did elicit the admiration of many of his peers, from Genoa (1965) onwards. I will be writing more about Metcalf, as I am writing an encyclopedia entry about his life & work. It's going to take some time.
For those whose curiosity is piqued, here are some good links of freely available Metcalf. Anything I can to do to promote this man's adventurous view of history, I will do. You'll find some video footage of him jaunting about in Ohio, visiting Alex Gildzen, as well as a brief recording of him reading from Patagoni and Apalache.
One last word to the wise: Metcalf's works can be found from used sellers in the U.S.A., often very cheap, sometimes in elegant first editions (see in particular Patagoni and Both, published by The Jargon Society), or very cheap indeed in the 3-volume Collected Works published by Coffee House Press in 1996-1997 ($8 for all 3 volumes + shipping, last time I looked). Also, a few of his books (The Middle Passage, Both, Araminta and the Coyotes) are available in 1st ed. new and sold by the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, who act now as the custodian of The Jargon Society's remaining stock. (As for The Jargon Society, that's a whole nother story.)

A 1999 eulogy by Lucia Berlin, discussing a book project to which Metcalf contributed, Headlands: The Marin Coast at the Golden Gate.
A review by David McCooey of Metcalf's 3-volume Collected Works.
Apalache, by Paul Metcalf
Here is a page from Paul Metcalf's Apalache (1976), to my mind one of the most beautiful books ever written. The work is available in vol 1 of Metcalf's Collected Works, published by Coffee House Press, or alternately in an exceptionally handsome 1st edition from Turtle Island Foundation. (The page scan is from the latter.)

Below we have shared an amazing talk about robots. It comes from the renowned TED conference and there are several insights that will blow your mind.
"Scaremongers play on the idea that robots will simply replace people on the job. In fact, they can become our essential collaborators, freeing us up to spend time on less mundane and mechanical challenges. Rodney Brooks points out how valuable this could be as the number of working-age adults drops and the number of retirees swells. He introduces us to Baxter, the robot with eyes that move and arms that react to touch, which could work alongside an aging population — and learn to help them at home, too." ‒ Rodney Brooks TED
