Gerard de Kamper, University of Pretoria The art world has been dealing with fakes for more than 2 000 years, with perhaps the most notorious case being the forgeries of Dutch master Johannes Vermeer’s paintings by artist Han van Meegeren during the Second World War. Now African art is becoming a larger and larger target. Fakes are flooding the South African market and while a range of artists is affected, it’s mostly the black modernists (1960 – 1990) whose legacy is suffering. To illustrate: If you use Google images to search for the work of Lucky Sibiya, the artist being…

Kobus Maree, University of Pretoria The world of work is changing all the time. In the past, people would probably choose one career and stick to it for the rest of their lives, gradually climbing up the ladder with clearly demarcated and structured relationships. They might even remain at one company throughout their working lives. But today, people move between careers and jobs several times; they have to navigate many work-related transitions. The problem is that career counselling hasn’t, for the most part, adapted to these new realities. In the developing world, traditional career counselling approaches are still the order…
Martin Abel, Middlebury Imagine that your boss Ethan calls you into his office. He expresses disappointment in your recent performance and lack of commitment. How would you react? Accept the feedback and put in more effort? Would you pout in your office and start looking for a new job? Now, would your reaction be different if your boss was not named Ethan but Emily? I’m a professor of economics, and my research investigates this very question. We hired 2,700 workers online to transcribe receipts, randomly assigning a male or female name to a manager and randomly assigning which workers would…

They once told me stories and dazzled me with the wonders of the world. With how they moved, and talked, and showed me some part of the world – Imagination, fun and unending love. It appeared so transparent who they are and the joy life and this world could be. For all those who are not yet born, Or children who have not begun to reason, I pray the disappointments you will face When far beyond the transparent veil you find despair, anger and sorrow; When you discover that their stories of the world are wishes for what It would…
Holy Humour Just Nuts. A newly-ordained pastor, in the first days of his first call, was attempting to console the widow of an eccentric man who had just died. Standing before the open casket, the nervous young pastor said, “I realize this must be a very hard blow for you, Mrs. Johnson. Just try to remember that what we see before us is only the husk, the shell of your dear husband–the nut has gone to heaven.” Sunday Quote The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself. – Richard Francis…
Reading 1 Jos 24:14-29 Joshua gathered together all the tribes of Israel at Shechem, and addressed them, saying: “Fear the LORD and serve him completely and sincerely. Cast out the gods your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. If it does not please you to serve the LORD, decide today whom you will serve, the gods your fathers served beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose country you are dwelling. As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” But the people answered, “Far be it from us…
Catherine Porter, Lancaster University and Wei Fan, Heriot-Watt University Investments made in early childhood last a lifetime, and the earlier in life, the greater the return, according to James Heckman who was awarded a Nobel Prize for economics. Conversely, shocks to child development also can last a lifetime. For example, children who were young at the time of the 1984 famine in Ethiopia are 5cm shorter at adulthood, have lower education and are more likely to have recently been ill. When assessing long-term effects of early life circumstances, it’s difficult to disentangle biological from social processes. An outstanding question is:…
