"The aim of our Web site is to provide information about the Zulu tribe of South Africa to the general public in an interesting and entertaining way. We decided on the Zulu tribe as the topic for our Web site, as there are not many electronic resources on this topic (only one was located on our searches on the Internet) and because we realize that the different cultures that make up our Rainbow Nation are a valuable part of our heritage." This quotation comes from three senior high school students at St. Mary's School, Waverley, Johannesburg, South Africa. As a group project in their Computer Studies course, they developed a Web site for the ThinkQuest competition. Each Computer Studies teacher may choose the form of the group project, provided that it makes extensive use of computer applications, and lends itself to group work. The Thinkquest competition suited the criteria perfectly. The class consisted of fifteen students, so they were divided up into five groups of three. They then researched everything they could find about ThinkQuest, studied the rules, and appointed Group Leaders and Coaches. The groups then brainstormed ideas on which to create Web sites, and when they had made decisions, each group put forward a proposal for their ideas. Once accepted, the proposal was sent to Thinkquest, together with all their other details.

Research Project Topic 4: SOUTH AFRICA AND MADAGASCAR In looking at the musics from Southern Africa (including Zimbabwe, Malawi, Madagascar, and South Africa itself), it is especially important to look at the historical, cultural, and political background of these musics, because they have been crucial in the construction of identity and of colonial and post-colonial attitudes. For centuries, Southern Africa has been a region of very sophisticated cultural interactions. The modern political history of colonialism and apartheid tended on the one hand to separate South African musics from other countries, and on the other to repress the cultural expressions of the indigenous people, but the old traditions of music as poetry, as story-telling, as praise, and as spiritual tool continued very strongly. Moreover, South Africa's very rich natural resources, including gold and diamonds, led to a musical legacy from centuries of Dutch and English colonialism. Immigrant music cultures including East Indian, Jewish, and other European countries also intermingled with the indigenous traditions. By the early 17th century, Dutch sailors, traders and (especially) gold and diamond miners were an established presence in South Africa. The English crown established a trading port on the coast in the 18th century, and the fortunes to be made in South African natural resources led to disputes, not only between Dutch and English, but also the colonists and the native peoples. As is usually the case in politically repressive conditions, the underlying motivation was economic: by exploiting native miners and support staff, the colonists could make more money with lower expenses for their sponsoring companies in Europe.

Extractions: Lucille Davie 14 August 2002 Johannesburg, World Summit city, is ready for you. We've spruced up the town, widened the roads, planted thousands of trees, checked and double-checked the hotels you'll be staying in, bought hundreds of buses for you, and erected the world's biggest tent But first things first. Before you come to Johannesburg, you'll have to learn our slang so you can really talk to us. So when we say "oke" or "ou" you'll know we mean "person". Or if we say "bru" or "china" we're saying the same thing but being extra friendly. "Howzit" means "how are you?" - just us being friendly again. Or if you hear someone say they are going for a "jol", they mean they are going out to have a good time, what we want you to do here for the Summit. You may be invited to go for a "dop", that's a drink, but make sure you don't have too much or you'll end up with a "babbelas" or hangover. For most of your time in Jo'burg or Joeys or Jozi you'll be more comfortable if you wear your "takkies" when walking around. That one you can work out for yourself. Right, china, let's get on with it.

Extractions: Julie Gillentine Anthropological orthodoxy insists that civilization began in Sumeria six thousand years ago, and the modern metropolis is the pinnacle of culture and evolution on the planet. But, Circa World War II, humanity shattered the rails of our technological playpen, sporting new atomic bombs. And, it is said, Space-faring ETs took notice, and silver saucers suddenly filled the skies. The UFO era was born; Roswell was a defining moment An alternate view is emerging, however. According to indigenous peoples from the Americas to South Africa, they have guarded the hidden history of humanity all along, quietly maintaining contact with visiting and resident stellar relatives. Mobilized, now, by what they believe is the fulfillment of long-prophesied warnings, the elders of these indigenous people around the world have begun, they say, to break vows of silence and share their ancient secret stellar wisdom. Thanks to the work of Robert Temple, (The Sirius Mystery) the startling knowledge of Sirius and its dwarf companion by Africa's Dogon tribe is widely known. The Dogon possess knowledge, such as the star system's orbital periods and the companion star's invisibility, which cannot be confirmed by naked eye observation, and which modern Astronomers have learned only recently.

Extractions: Historically and prehistorically, humans have processed and refashioned many natural materials or objects to make containers, the most familiar examples being baskets and pottery. Rattles have been made from gourds (Lagenaria, Cucurbitaceae), turtle shells, animal hides, and several other natural objects filled with stones or seeds. Although moth cocoons have been mainly exploited for their silk to produce fabrics, they also have been used whole in the construction of a variety of artifacts. Some moth cocoons are very tough and, if kept dry, are preserved for long periods of time. To people without access to synthetic manufactured products, some kinds of cocoons make compact and strong containers, ready to be used in a variety of ways. Cocoons of several species of saturniid moths and other families have been used to make hand rattles, ankle rattles, necklaces, purses or other artifacts in cultures around the world. Although Native American usage from the western United States is now historic, indigenous peoples in Africa and Mexico continue to use moth cocoons. Historic hand rattles from California utilized cocoons of

Extractions: South Africa is the southernmost country in Africa, bordered on the north by Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Swaziland; on the east and south by the Indian Ocean; and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean. Lesotho forms an enclave in the northeastern part of the country. The history of South Africa has been a history of conflict between its peoples. Now, the country faces a new challenge: The challenge to forgive the hatreds and injuries of the past; the challenge to join together to build a new future with freedom and opportunity for all. This new era has so far been remarkably peaceful and has surpassed all expectations. Population The Bantu peoples account for three quarters of the total population. White settlement began in 1652 with the arrival of the Dutch, who gradually spread into the interior as farmers. They developed their own language called Afrikaans, lived isolated lives, and increasingly segregated themselves from indigenous Bantu peoples, whom they encountered in the interior. French Huguenot and German settlers were later absorbed into this group, known as Afrikaners. In the early 1800s, British settlers began to arrive, and Indians came in the late 19th and early 20th century. The majority of Indians were brought as indentured laborers to work on the sugar plantations of Natal. A substantial Portuguese minority developed in the late 20th century. The intermarriage of these diverse peoples produced a large non-white population.

Extractions: Out of Cunnamulla - Into Africa (David Carline - Cunnamulla, Qld) I arrived two days before the beginning of the Non-Government Organisations Forum, and while still recovering from jetlag met the clerk of the delegation, Anita Whyts. During these valuable first couple of days of orientation, Anita and I learnt about timing and locations of various events and became the centre point to assist the 11 other delegates with their NGO Forum registrations when they arrived. This involved 34 hours of queuing and there were thousands of other delegates doing likewise at the same time. Possibly as many as 16,000 NGO representatives registeredfrom every grass roots organisation imaginable. The NGO Forum venue was divided into two areas. On one side of the road were the display tents from most of the NG0s present (e.g. AFSC and Amnesty International); in the same area were the transport depot and a food pavilion catering for various types of diets, and real coffee. On the other side was the main venue with registration area, information tent, regional and other group tents. Around this area many of the public demonstrations occurred, including daily Palestinian/Israeli confrontations, the Dalits from India, and Indigenous concerns from many nations. The friendliness of everyone and also the way people were trying to communicate their plights to everyone else. I felt so terrible that I couldn't speak anything but English to communicate inI felt very ashamed of my selfcentredness in having to insist that others spoke English to me.

Extractions: The Zulu War B C etshwayo kaMapande held the Zulu throne. He had traded freely with the Europeans in the Natal Colony but felt that his father, Mapande kaDingane, had made too many concessions to the Europeans in order to keep an uneasy peace. He was puzzled by Frere's hostility to the Zulus and, before he was able to respond, events came to a head. In July 1878, the Great Wife, Kaqwelebana, and a lesser wife of Cetshwayo's inDuna, Sihayo, were caught having affairs while Sihayo was absent. With their lovers, they fled across the Buffalo River, in the vicinity of the mission at Rorke's Drift L t. General Frederic Augustus Thesiger, 2d Baron Chelmsford, was in overall command of the invading force during the Zulu War. In addition to British regulars, Chelmsford had Natal auxiliaries, volunteers, and irregulars under his command, a total force of 17,922 officers and men opposed by approximately 40,000 warriors available to Cetshwayo. His plan to invade Zululand consisted of a three-pronged attack with the goal to capture Cetshwayo. The right hand column, comprised of 4,750 men, was to cross theTulega River at Lower Drift and head for Eshowe. The center column, containing 4,709 men, was to cross at Rorke's Drift and make straight for Cetshwayo's Royal Kraal at Ulundi. The left hand column, with 2,278 men, crossed the Blood River at a point further north and was to head for Ulundi also. Two columns were held in reserve. Chelmsford considered the center column to be the main thrust and located his headquarters there. Based upon his experience during the defeat of the Xhosa in the Eastern Cape, Chelmsford had little regard for the fighting qualities of the indigenous peoples. Everything was in place for his first encounter with the main Zulu impi at

The following also discusses how this region can improve its position from a domestic and global perspective. Bibliography lists 3 sources. 8 pages of slide contents and speaker notes for an 8-slide Power Point presentation on this topic, specifically as it is affected by the worldwide nursing shortage. The shortage of available nurses in developing countries puts even more pressure on accessibility of health care, and it encourages nursing education to be truncated so that students can fill vacancies more quickly. The situation likely is worst in Africa, particularly in those nations in which the AIDS epidemic is worst. The presentation uses Ethiopia to illustrate. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
