Hoe om van vlermuise op 'n humanitêre manier ontslae te raak?
'n Vriend van my soek raad - een van die skole in hul omgewing het 'n
vlermuisplaag, en dis so erg dat twee klaskamers ontruim moes word van die
stank.
Die vlermuise is glo tussen die dak en die plafon.
Sal dit help om 'n paar uile daar los te laat?

1943 Guide for Hiring Women
The following is an excerpt from the July 1943 issue of Transportation
Magazine. It was a guide for hiring women. This was serious and written
for male supervisors of women in the workforce during World War II - a mere
58 years ago! Obviously, the intent was not to be "funny" but, by today's
standards, this is pretty hilarious! For those of you with efficiency
issues, pay attention to #8.
Eleven Tips on Getting More Efficiency Out of Women Employees: There's no
longer any question whether transit companies should hire women for jobs
formerly held by men. The draft and manpower shortage has settled that
point. The important things now are to select the most efficient women
available and how to use them to the best advantage. Here are eleven
helpful tips on the subject from Western Properties:
1. Pick young married women. They usually have more of a sense of
responsibility than their unmarried sisters, they're less likely to be
flirtatious, they need the work or they wouldn't be doing it, they still
have the pep and interest to work hard and to deal with the public
efficiently.
2. When you have to use older women, try to get ones who have worked
outside the home at sometime in their lives. Older women who have never
contacted the public have a hard time adapting themselves and are inclined
to be cantankerous and fussy. It's always well to impress upon older women
the importance of friendliness and courtesy.
3. General experience indicates that "husky" girls - those who are just a
little on the heavy side - are more even-tempered and efficient than their
underweight sisters.
4. Retain a physician to give each woman you hire a special physical
examination - one covering female conditions. This step not only protects
the property against the possibilities of lawsuit, but also reveals whether
the employee-to-be has any female weaknesses which would make her mentally
or physically unfit for the job.
5. Stress at the outset the importance of time, the fact that a minute or
two lost here and there makes serious inroads on schedules. Until this point
is gotten a cross, service is likely to be slowed up.
6. Give the female employee a definite day-long schedule of duties so that
they'll keep busy without bothering the management for instructions every
few minutes. Numerous properties say that women make excellent workers when
they have their jobs cut out for them, but that they lack initiative in
finding work themselves.
7. Whenever possible, let the inside employee change from one job to
another at some time during the day. Women are inclined to be less nervous
and happier with change.
8. Give every girl an adequate number of rest periods during the day. You
have to make some allowances for feminine psychology. A girl has more
confidence and is more efficient if she can keep her hair tidied, apply
fresh lipstick and wash her hands several times a day.
9. Be tactful when issuing instructions or in making criticisms. Women are
often sensitive; they can't shrug off harsh words the way men do. Never
ridicule a woman - it breaks her spirit and cuts off her efficiency.
10. Be reasonably considerate about using strong language around women.
Even though a girl's husband or father may swear vociferously, she'll grow
to dislike a place of business where she hears too much of this.
11. Get enough size variety in operator's uniforms so that each girl can
have a proper fit. This point can't be stressed too much in keeping women
happy.
Ai tog, arme Adam Bacher wat toe weer 'n kans kry om te speel, faal toe saam
met Gibbs en Smith. Verstommend hoe gou die swak kolfwerk deurwerk na nuwe
ou spanlede.

Laat ons dink aan die grootste medalje moontlik om die ou antie te gee! Ek
sê mos lankal dit moet snip-snip wees met verkragters, maar hierdie een is
s�veel beter.........

Mens sou dink dat ons regslui en wetgewers die afgelope 10 jaar baie hard
sou werk om wette in te stel wat skuldiges gouer te straf. Dis nie so nie -
die ou lotjie is lui.
Verlede jaar is die wet verander dat iemand wat as kind of tiener verkrag
is, die skuldige moet aankla op die laaste 3 maande na die slagoffer se
21ste verjaarsdag. Anders verjaar die saak, en die lustige kan maar aangaan
om kinders se lewens te verwoes.
Nou hoor ons gister weer dat al die onwettiges wat kinders ontvoer het, van
dwelms afhanklik gemaak het, en hulle dan in die sekshandel gebruik of
verkoop het, maar lustig kan aangaan. Die rede is dat die slagoffers self in
die saak moet getuig, maar aangesien hulle dwelmslawe is, word hul getuienis
nie as geloofwaardig aanvaar nie. Dit tel glad nie dat die jong kinders in
ooglopende omstandighede van onwettige aanhouding, en ver van hul huise deur
die polisie gevind is nie.
Dit blyk nou dat die regstaal nou so ingewikkeld raak, om die publiek te
mislei, dat selfs die wetgewers en regsmense nie eers meer weet wat hulself
skryf nie.
So is gister berig dat 'n prokureur van Pretoria uitgevind het dat alle
boeteheffings en arrestasies sedert 17 Desember 2004 deur stadspolisie,
verkeerslui en lede van die parkeraad gedoen is, onwettig was, omdat die
minister op daardie dag die wetlikke magte van die spoorwegpolisie uitgebrei
het, maar terselfdertyd, per ongeluk, die magte gegee aan die ander
instansies teruggetrek het deurdat in die laaste paragraaf geskeyf is dat
alle vorige wette in die verband herroep is.
Nou is daar 'n ander wetlike wat sê dis nie so nie - so lyk my ons wette is
net soos die Bybel - heeltemal oop vir die mening van die individu.
Wat is in elkgeval die doel van 'n wet as dit nie in duidelike verstaanbare
taal en presies, sonder die moontlikheid van ander individuele menings,
toegepas kan word nie?

Na verlede jaar se wye mediadekking van twee joernaliste wat in artikels
plagiaat gepleeg het, sonder om erkenning te gee an die oorspronklike
skrywer, sou mens dink dat dat dit die einde van die storie sou wees.Toe
nie - 'n sekere Pamela Jooste het 'n boek geskyf, en op verskeie plekke
woord vir woord stukke herhaal wat in Sunday Times verskyn het, sonder om
aan hulle of die skrywer erkenning te gee.
Haar verweer is dat sy nie geweet het sy pleeg plagiaat nie, en dat sy
jammer is.
Nou wonder mens hoeveel geld sy gemaak het met vorige boeke, en gaan maak
met hierdie boek ( dit het 'n literêre prys gekry), met ander mense se
idees, gedagtes en sinsbou, en dit vir haarself toegeëien het.
Plagiaat kom al 'n lang pad met ons - een van my Afrikaanse professors se
doktorale proefskrif is teruggetrek toe daar bevind is hy het met
voorbedagte rade plagiaat gepleeg.

Ek wonder of Frikkie ooit die stukke deurlees wat
hy so gereeld hier in sy geliefde Engelse taal pos.
Want dan sou hy, soos in hierdie stuk, besef dat
meer as die helfte van hierdie stuk eintlik baie
vleiend en positief oor Mbeki praat. Hierdie stuk
oor Mbeki is nie meer negatief oor hom as wat
'n hoofartikel in 'n konserwatiewe koerant hier
teen Paul Martin sou wees nie. En dit is baie
minder negatief as wat die deursnee liberale
pers in die VSA oor George Bush praat.
