New views on the Jurassic Clarens Formation: volcano-sedimentary interaction

- Description: The Lower Jurassic Clarens Formation of the Great Karoo Basin is usually viewed in the literature as a aeolian and, in places, fluvio-aeolian deposit of tremendous thickness variation form 0-250 m thickness. Interaction with the overlying Karoo Flood Basalts, particularly in the Eastern Cape area and in Lesotho, has been noted but was never a major topic. Relatively widespread pyroclastic deposits sandwiched between the Clarens Formation and the Karoo Flood Basalts have been interpreted as flood-lahars.

- Description: In 1962 John moved south to Johannesburg, but that bustling city held few attractions for him and he moved further south, to the cathedral city of Grahamstown. Grahamstown, with its nineteenth century Gothic cathedral, elegant Georgian buildings, and distinctive grandeur of Rhodes University, St Andrew's College and other buildings designed by Herbert Baker and his colleagues, suited John. He particularly enjoyed the academic, social, artistic and dramatic life of the community, where many older members of society were distinguished old-Africa hands. John thoroughly enjoyed Grahamstown where, in the partnership of Hoskins and English, he made his mark in the restoration and extension of many significant buildings. His addition to the Anglican chapel at Hog's Back is a masterpiece, as is his incorporation of the old fayade into the rebuilding and extension of the Magistrates' Court.

The "old-new" challenges of water, sanitation and bioremediation in developing countries

- Description: Developing countries face challenges in the development of infrastructure and population growth. These lead to “side-effects" such as uncontrolled urbanization and the fact that basic services such as water and sanitation are lagging behind the actual needs on the ground. Historical challenges, lack of skilled staff and often lack of sustained funding are some of the reasons for the status quo. Extent of water and sanitation coverage often forces national and local governments to install the minimum-standard solutions, e.g. the ventilated improved pit latrines. This improves the public health status in the short-term, but causes problem in the long run due to the lack of regular maintenance such as through lack emptying of pits. Sometimes, construction of these facilities is of inferior standard. Pits are often built without lining or zero consideration is given to the local conditions in terms of soil properties, water table and the number of toilet users.

Not all the companies attended and those that attended did not commit themselves to this progress. Those that attended raised a number of cosmetic obstacles on the issue, just short of saying they were not interested in the process. The discussions with the participating employers collapsed last month. This therefore lives us with no option but to accept the challenge that the employers are imposing on us.
