- Description: Shakespeare’s comedies are full of froth and frivol, none more so than Much Ado, which purportedly advertises an overt lack of seriousness in its title. If a production misses the essential lightness of such plays, two things happen. First, the audience is lost, hopelessly at sea, completely bewildered. Second, those unexpected moments where the genius of comedy suddenly erupts in searing insight become indistinguishable from the general temper of events.

Professor Emeritus Denis William Ewer MBE FRSSAf 1913 - 2009: biographical memoir

- Description: Denis Ewer went to University College School in London. In 1931 he entered Trinity College, Cambridge (his father had studied mathematics at Trinity) where he read for the Natural Science Tripos, obtaining a B.A. in 1934. In his second year at Cambridge he gained the nickname of 'Jakes' via a literary route (his father's nickname also had literary origins). The word 'ewer' can mean a jug, chamber pot, or jerry, and hence the progress to 'jakes', Elizabethan English for an outside lavatory. It was at Cambridge that he also met the future communist spy, Kim Philby. After graduating, Jakes Ewer moved to the University of Birmingham where he undertook his doctoral studies (graduating PhD in 1940) under H. Munro Fox. World War II, however, temporarily halted any further academic career, and during the war years he was an Experimental Officer for the Army Operational Research Group (Ministry of Supply) achieving the rank of Major. For his work, which included being a Scientific Advisor to the Chief, Air Defence Division, Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force, he was awarded the M.B.E. (Member of the British Empire).

Without it, we can't fully understand the world we live in, or explain and interpret it for our audiences. Virtually every aspect of life these days is quanti-fied or measured by statistical or numerological data. Yet new research indicates that South African journalists are error-prone when it comes to numbers.

- Description: Magma supply for lava eruptions remains a poorly understood facet of continental flood volcanism. In the Karoo Province a vast complex of dolerite sheets and dykes is exposed in the main Karoo sedimentary basin underlying the flood basalt remnant of Lesotho (Drakensberg Group) suggesting that lavas were erupted locally from a widely distributed network of fissures.

- Description: To deal with the large volume of network data, contemporary solutions seek to automate the process of detecting intrusive activity. However, intrusion detection systems can produce an overwhelming number of alerts, and many false alarms can obscure serious intrusion attempts. To overcome these difficulties, this paper suggests combining dedicat-ed sensor network monitoring with visualisation. With the aim of evaluat-ing intrusion detection systems, we introduce the idea of using graph-ical representations to superimpose alert information over raw network traffic.

The study covered a total of 25 110 news items in September 2002, across all Southern African Development Community countries. It was found that women constituted only 17% of news sources, 1% less than the global average of 18%. In South Africa the figure was 19%. The race and gender breakdown is particularly disturbing, with only 7% of sources being black women, in spite of the fact that black women constitute 45% of the total population.

- Description: Wireless technologies have had an enormous impact on networking in recent years. It can create new business oppurtunities and allow users to communicate and share data in a new fashion. Wireless Networks decrease installation costs, reduce the deployment time of a network and overcome physical barrier problems inherent in wiring. Unfortunately this flexibility comes at a price. The deployment, installation and setup of a WLAN is not a simple task and a number of factors need to be con-sidered. Wireless Networks are notorious for being insecure due to signal spill, ad-hoc unauthorized access points and varying encryption strengths and standards. RF (Radio Frequency) interference and physical barriers suppress a signal. In addition the channel frequencies each access point will be using in order to provide maxi-mum roaming but minimum inter access point interference need to be considered. It is a complex balancing act to take these factors into account while still maintaining coverage, performance and security requirements. In this paper the benefits and feasibility of a model will be discussed that will enable the network administrator to visualize the coverage footprint of their wireless network when the above factors are taken into consideration. The program will be able to predict the strength, prop-agation and unwanted spill of signals which could compromise the security of an organisation prior to the deployment of a WLAN. In addition the model will provide functionality to visualize a signal from audit data once the WLAN is operational. The end result will be a program that can aid in the configuration, installation and man-agement of a secure WLAN.

It is the archetypal Shakespearean show for outdoor theatre, and the PE Shakespearean Festival productions in a sense transport the delightful balmy (and sometimes barmy!) traditions established at the summertime open-air theatre in Regents Park, London, where Lesley French enjoyed so many triumphs--not least with this play--to Eastern Cape soil. Outdoor theatre has its risks, logistical and climatic, but when it comes off, as this show did, the result is vividly memorable.

The limited efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents to treat this disease has prompted a search for potential new chemical entities with anticancer properties. We report here on the evidence for anti-oesophageal cancer activity in the methanolic extracts of five species of sponges dredged from a depth of approximately 100 m in the vicinity of Marion Island in the Southern Ocean during the autumn of 2004.

- Description: preprint , “The identity of the old ANC is changing fast and its soul is becoming harder to locate” – so writes William Gumede in his best-selling account of the Mbeki presidency. This is a thoroughly admirable book, critical, informed and deeply concerned with the welfare of the people of South Africa, especially the poor – with no taint of political hagiography. The central plank of the critique concerns the ANC’s management of the economy. Gumede’s account of the genesis of GEAR and the devious way it was sprung on the tri-partite alliance is illuminating. It was done under the rubric of necessary modernization, according to Gumede, and allegiance to the Blair/Schroeder Third Way. But there were huge ancillary consequences: the loss of influence by the ordinary ANC membership, neglect of branch activity, sidelining of the parliamentary caucus, centralization of policy development in the office of the president, increasing reliance on consultants and relentless cosying up to big business.

- Description: Question: Who is the most famous writer of the New Millennium? Answer: JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter stories. If you answered in the affirmative, you will be forgiven for sharing the view of many teenagers (and an increasing number of young adults) around the world who swear by Mr Potter's benign witchcraft. But while we ponder the Harry Potter juggernaut (Ms Rowling's books are bestsellers in any language), let us also ponder why very few serious intellectuals make it to the top of the world's most famous best-seller lists (The New York Times, Amazon.com, Times of London, etc). There is a reason why Gore Vidal, Jeffery Sachs, Noam Chomsky and Edward Said, have all had some of their best work published by little known outfits such as St Mark's Publishing House, and not celebrated imprints of the Simon and Schuster or Alfred Knopf calibre.
