Extractions: At the same time, the principals of L.B. Fosters regional railroad group were looking to leave the company and establish a stand-alone regional railroad development company. This coincidence in history resulted in the formation of Railroad Development Corporation, a name selected after extensive market research that included rejection of the alternative name of Railroads R Us! Hawthornes investment in the business turned out to be with the people literally across the street, after a national search for opportunities.

Extractions: HISTORY OF MEMBERSHIP The continent's position as a crossroads between the Americas, Europe and Asia also lays it open to transnational crimes such as traffic in weapons, illicit drug trafficking, illegal immigration, traffic in stolen motor vehicles and fraud, etc., which can only be stopped by international co-operation. Seeking and locating the criminals involved poses problems relating to information exchange, international identification and arrests with a view to extradition. This is why Interpol (in accordance with Article 2 (1) of its Constitution) ensures the closest possible co-operation between the "criminal police authorities" of all member countries, including those in Africa. Crime is not associated with a particular region and is certainly not a problem for Africa alone. Ever since it was established, the International Criminal Police Organization - Interpol has been seen by countries all over the world as an institution whose principles and objectives correspond to universal aspirations for human rights, public safety and the fight against ordinary law crime. Joining Interpol was therefore one of the first steps taken by various African leaders once their countries obtained independence.

Extractions: Prof T C Johnson and Prof. E O Odada The large lakes of the East African Rift Valley have continued to provide high-resolution records of past climatic change in the tropics. Scientific drilling is planned on Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika. The envisaged multi-focal studies are summarised below. Paleoclimate Studies The paleoclimate community identified four main questions to be addressed by deep drilling in Lake Malawi: Laminated sediments recovered in box cores and multi-cores from northern Lake Malawi consist of alternating bands of diatom ooze (light laminations) and silty clays (dark laminations), representing the dry, windy season (June-September) and the warm, rainy season (December-March), respectively. Pb-210 dating of several cores has demonstrated that the laminations are varves. Similar annually-laminated sediments occur in deep water cores from Lake Tanganyika. The thickness of the light layers and dark layers can be measured quite precisely using computerized image enhancement and analysis tools. Presumably, the thickness of the light layers is linked to upwelling intensity and diatom productivity, whereas the thickness of the dark layers is a proxy for annual rainfall intensity. Spectral analysis of lamination thickness variability over the past 300 years reveals significant cyclicity at ENSO frequencies (Barry, in prep).
Land Rights Programme NLC BRIEF history SANL has its roots in the from Angola, Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, malawi,Mozambique, Namibia began to expand links between regional organisations. http://www.nlc.co.za/regional.htm
Extractions: The Regional Programme of the NLC consists of its participation in the Southern African Network on Land (SANL ), an exciting new regional umbrella network of civil society organisations working for land reform and rural development in their countries. The NLCs regional work like its growing engagement with land sector organisations across the world is rooted in the belief that international solidarity among poor and landless people and their organisations is necessary in the struggle against the effects of globalisation on the rural poor in Africa and other developing regions. Rural people in the entire Southern African region are still struggling against the brutal effects of colonialism and apartheid, which deprived people in many countries of both land and development resources. The NLC, as a leading land reform civil society role-player in the region, is the Secretariat of SANL, and regards this as an essential initiative in this era of intensifying land struggles.

In conclusion, I perceive a regionaldevelopment in within cinematic expressions, the history of African http://www.szs.net/martin-mhando/southern-african-cinema.html
Extractions: Feedback For purposes of this paper I focus on the cinema in Mozambique, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and South Africa although geographically the region includes countries such as Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Swaziland and Zambia. The paper develops the argument that communication is always linked with power relations and suggests that in the media power and knowledge intersect endlessly. It further wishes to locate the study of cultures within the centrality of representation. As a study of the media the paper uses visual texts of films produced in the Southern African region to interrogate meanings formed out of the representation embedded in the concept of national cinema. The theory is influenced by the writings of Stuart Hall as well as the political concept developed within Gramscian deliberations on the discourse of power relations and what Kay Schaffer and Heather Kerr regard as 'the unsettled hegemonic notions of race, ethnicity and cultural difference' Contemporary studies of African cinema have afforded a platform for debate on the "adequacy of current methodologies for dealing with what cinema has become in Africa"

Extractions: Background and History BACKGROUND ON CHICHEWA AND RELATED LANGUAGES Chichewa is a language of the Bantu language family, spoken in parts of East, Central, and Southern Africa. It is spoken in Malawi where, from 1968 until recently, it has served as the national language. It is also spoken in Mozambique, especially in the provinces of Tete and Niassa, in Zambia (especially in the Eastern Province), as well as in Zimbabwe where, according to some estimates, it ranks as the third most widely used local language, after Shona and Ndebele. The countries of Malawi, Zambia, and Mozambique constitute the central location of Chichewa. Because of the national language policy adopted by the Malawi government, which promoted Chichewa through active educational programs, media usage and, other research activities carried out under the auspices of the Chichewa Board, out of a population of around 9 million, upwards of 65% have functional literacy or active command of this language. In Mozambique , the language goes by the name of Chinyanja, and it is native to 3.3% of a population numbering approximately 11.5 million . In Tete province it is spoken by 41.7% of a population of 777,426 and, it is the first language of 7.2% of the population of Niassa province, whose population totals 506,974 (see Firmino, 1995).

The SCSA Zone V1 Cricket Confederation was born out of two schoolboy cricket tours, which took place between Namibia and Botswana in 1989 and 1990. The foundation fathers Steven Jones (Namibia Cricket Board) and Neill Armstrong (Botswana Cricket Association) established the Zone V1 Cricket Confederation with three main objects in mind: The inaugural meeting of Zone V1 Cricket Confederation was held in conjunction with the tournament which took place in Windhoek Namibia in September 1991 and was attended by Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, Lesotho, Botswana and as guests, Oxford University. Namibia won the tournament. An official constitution was settled for the confederation. It was also agreed that the general meeting and tournament would be held on an annual basis. Swaziland became the next host in September 1992, with Zambia, Namibia, Lesotho, Botswana and Swaziland participating.

Extractions: Chemical Research and Environmental Needs (CREN): A historical note Introduction The overall objective of this program was to improve the Science and Technology capability in member countries to enhance the quality of industrial input in an environmentally friendly manner and thereby improving the standard of living of people. Background An understanding of the chemical changes in the environment is of fundamental importance in seeking answers to the environmental consequences of chemical pollution. A symposium held in Brisbane in 1989 recommended the establishment of a regional (Asia Pacific) project to improve the understanding of the chemical make up of the environment and the relevant research and development with particular emphasis on procedures and techniques for environmental monitoring. Objectives Activities A project implementation and planning meeting with Project Advisers and Coordinators under the chairmanship of the Assistant Secretary-General was held in Thailand in December 1992. The meeting discussed progress to date on the seven project components and formulated an action program for implementation.
