Introduction:

We have chosen to make an

interview because we want to know

how it is to be a TTO teacher, and

how their lives are outside of school.

We have decided to interview miss

Van de Bercken.

Pre-Knowledge:

We already know some things about

miss Van de Bercken. We know that

she is a teacher and she is teaching

the subject of Design and

Technology. She is very kind and she

has a lot of patience with us. She has

an assistant for when her class is

going to do practical activities, his

name is Mr. Denise and we are

allowed to talk Dutch to him. He is

very nice and funny and always helps

us.

The interview:

Us: Can you tell us who you are?

Her: Yes, I am Miss van den Bercken

and I am 48 years old. I have a

husband, an 18 years-old daughter

and a 16 years-old son. My son goes

to the school where I teach and my

daughter has just graduated last year

also in this school.

Us: How did you end up working in

“Het Sintermeertencollege”.

Her: My husband got a new job in

Heerlen Theatre, so my whole family

had to move there. Before we moved

over here, I worked in a mirror

factory. However, when we moved to

Heerlen, I had to find a new job and I

applied to this school. They had a

new subject named Design and

Technology, so they asked me to be

the new teacher for this subject.

Us: What did you study?

Her: I first finished HAVO and then

went to MTRO in 1990, which no

longer exists. At first, I wanted to

work for a travel agency, but later on

I decided to become a teacher. So, I

went to the open day of teachers.

When I saw all the subjects that I


could choose from I noticed that

there was a new subject called design

and technology.

Us: When did you start working at “

Het Sintermeertencollege”?

Her:

I started working at Sintermeerten in

1998 and there they had Design and

Technology the subject I had studied

in 1995.

Us: What did you want to become

when you were younger?

Her: When I was younger, I wanted

to become a primary school teacher,

because I was so young, I didn’t know

I could become a middle school

teacher because I did not know that

existed.

Us: What is your favorite class?

Her: there is not really a class I

prefer, but in middle school I always

liked crafts. I hated PE but now I do

like it. I also like French because I like

different languages.

Us: if you had to make a choice

between practical activities. Theory

what would you chose?

Her: I like practical activities and

technical drawings over the theory.

Us: what do you think the school can

improve in?

Her: the school needs a bigger aula

or at least more places to sit.

Us: what do you think is annoying in

this school?

Her: I really don’t like the noise in

the hallways and in the stairs.

Because it is not necessary to make

that much noise. I don’t like people

who scream.

Us: what is your dream job?

Her: my dream job is on a camp side

in France. It seems very peaceful.

us: did you ever skip school as

teacher?

Her: I never skipped school.

Us: can u describe your worst day in

your teaching life?

Her: my worst day was when I was

highly pregnant and 2 kids where

fighting in my class and I separated

them. After the incident happened a

girl in my class came to me and

asked me why I separated them. At

the moment it seemed a good idea

but then she said what if one of them

punched your belly. I really did not

think about what I did. It was not

such a good idea after all.


Us: What is your favorite year?

Her: I really like all the years. The

freshmen are always so positive and

are very motivated, but with the 8 th

9 th 10 th and 11 th graders is also very

fun.

Why we interviewed miss Van de

Bercken?

We could’ve asked every teacher we

know in our school but why did we

ask miss Van de Bercken?

Most of the teachers we have this

year we didn’t have last year, except

for the subjects where the school only

need one teacher for. We really like

miss Van de Bercken because she is

very funny and kind. Miss Van de

Bercken is for us one of the best

teachers, and she is always positive,

and that is on period!

And we found out so much more

about her.

Our opinion on the interview:

We really enjoyed interviewing miss

Van de Bercken and we really

appreciated that she took the time

for us so we could write our article.

Source: miss Van de Bercken

Date: 25-10-20

What we think of miss Van de

Bercken after the interview:

We really saw miss Van de Bercken

from a different angle. She is one of

the most positive people in world.

What are sneaker drops?

Sneaker drops are drops so when a

sneaker releases that is called a drop

and that’s a very big hype by teens

and also other people. There are

sometimes massive rows of people

who want that specific shoe what can

be thousands of euros. It also can we

online on different apps like SNKRS

from Nike/Jordan that is the most

famous app where hyped sneakers

are dropping.

But you need to be really fast by the

most hyped sneakers you have to go

in a lottery and hope that you have

won.

But mostly is that not the case

because 100 thousands of people are

signing up and hoping they won.

But for example, if there is not a

really special shoe comes out, and 2

days before they drop Kylie Jenner

wears that shoes, everyone wants to

have that shoes.

But you have also some shoes that

you cannot buy online but only in a

specific store.

dead, you had the yellow and the

green ones.

The yellows you could cop online but

the greens you needed to go to a

sneaker store in America to go cop

them.

Re-selling

Re-selling is if you get shoes and buy

them and then re-sell them to other

people.

The big re-sellers have mystery every

expensive so you can imagine, mostly

res-sellers don’t have s store but have

a website to buy them.

Some resellers do like mystery boxes,

then you buy one and get 1 or 2

pairs of sneakers and some other

little things like a shirt ore a cap or

something.

But you can make a lot of money for

reselling because you buy them for

100 dollars and resell them for 1000

dollars. That is named flipping.

Like last month there where some

shoes called the Dunk low grateful


The most popular sneakers.

The most popular sneakers over the

years are a lot of different sneakers.

But a few are still very popular.

The first ones are the af1 (air force

ones) you have the normal white and

black ones that are very popular.

Not only that you have different af1’s

you have customs that means that

someone has customized it by him or

herself or someone else for them like

painted ones or they have drawn on

them.

You have the Yeezy.

A Yeezy is a shoe that was made by

Kanye West.

He is a music producer and rapper,

but I think a lot of people know him

from his shoes and maybe because

he wants to be the president of the

USA. The shoe has a boost as it is

called that makes walking on them

very comfortable. You have many

different Yeezy’s and a lot of new

Yeezy’s are dropping.

Kanye and Adidas work together on

the Yeezy

And for the rest you have a lot of

different shoes like the air Jordan 1

the dunk low and other shoes that

are very popular and some Yeezy’s

you cannot get easily so you need to

find someone or something else and

like air force 1 you have a lot

different the normal ones are 90

dollar and some over 120 because

they are custom or they have a

different tint.


The North-London soccer-club,

Arsenal, is a huge club. In men as in

women. Arsenal is on the 3rd place of

the top 10 biggest women soccerclubs

of England. Arsenals stadium is

the Emirates stadium, with at least

60.000 seats. Their stadium is a very

modern stadium, and it even had the

best turf from Europe! The women

team of Arsenal play the most of

their games at Meadow Park. Arsenal

women is founded in 1987; 33 years

ago. Then it was named Arsenal

Ladies. Since 2017 it is called: Arsenal

women.

• FA WOMEN'S PREMIER

LEAGUE CUP WINNERS (10)

• FA WOMEN'S COMMUNITY

SHIELD WINNERS (4+1 SHARED)

• LONDON COUNTY FA WOMEN'S

CUP WINNERS (10)

They are the only English club to win

the UEFA Women's Champions

League. In the 2006–07 season, the

club became the first in the history of

women's football to achieve the

continental European sextuple.

History

Arsenal are statistically the most

successful club in English women's

football, holding the records for most

CHAMPIONS (3)

• FA WOMEN'S PREMIER LEAGUE

CHAMPIONS (12)

Funny facts about Arsenal

Hoogendijk, Sari van Veenendaal and Dominique Janssen. Now adays,

there are still 3 Dutch players in the team: Danielle van de Donk,

Vivianne Miedema and Jill Roord.

sad


Ecstasy is MDMA in an innocentlooking

pill form with a fun shape

or smile on the drug. The

amphetamines (the drug) provides

an artificial carefree evening,

encourages you to dance wildly

without getting tired, makes you

less paranoid or nervous and

makes you extra sensitive to love,

romance and touch. But those

who try or get ecstasy and take it

not only break the law, they also

endanger themselves to extreme

health risks, especially when

consuming more later on and

drinking alcohol as well. Because

of the risks, it is safest to keep

your hands off. However, decades

of experience have shown that

bans and warnings do not prevent

many teenagers from trying or

using MDMA more regularly or

start trying it. Doing this without

any prior knowledge makes it

extremely dangerous. Experts are

because of that convinced that

education about the use of illegal

narcotics like ecstasy is also

important.

Research continues to revolve

around the question of how high

the neurotoxic potential of MDMA

is? How toxic is ecstasy for the

brain and liver? A big problem of

scientific investigation is related to

the topic of the research is mixed

consumption, especially alcohol

and ecstasy combined. The

consumption of ecstasy or other

substances that could also have a

neurotoxic effect must never be

mixed. And that is extremely

worrying. Study shows that the

sole consumption of ecstasy,

alcohol and other drugs are very

often consumed. However, this is

not only a problem for research.

Consumers such as teens run

priceless threats when they

combine drugs. Studies shows that

the mixed consumption of ecstasy

and alcohol could damage the

liver or brain more than

ecstasy or alcohol not

combined.


How can you know if the drug is

bad, illegal, or even how bad

could it be? Many consumers don't

know. This is also evident from the

latest results of the world's largest

drug survey, the Global Drug

Survey 2019. Nearly a third of the

approximately 150,000 teens and

young adults said they knew little

or nothing about the drug before

they used it and nearly half

immediately took a whole pill

instead of researching it just a bit,

if you do not know anything about

ecstasy then it is extremely

important to educate yourself

about it or ask school teachers if

they will educate students about

it, or better yet, don't take drugs!

Unless you use it as medication...


Travis Scott is one of the most

famous rappers in the world. He is

known from songs like

Goosebump's and Sicko Mode ft

Drake. He has a girlfriend: Kylie

Jenner, and a daughter: Stormi

Webster. He is also a big fashion

icon, because he started his own

brand in 2017 called Cactus Jack.

The story:

Jack (his real name) was born in

1992 in Houston. Most of the time

he lived with his grandma. When

he was older, he went to the

University of Texas. But he

stopped with his study to focus on

music. When his parents heard

that he had quit his studies, they

severed ties with him. In 2013 he

dropped his first mixtape: Owl

Pharaoh. And his second one in

2014: Days before Rodeo. When

he dropped his first album: Rodeo

“shit was getting real”. That album

included one of his biggest hits:

Goosebump's. It became the

number 1 rap song on Billboard.

Astroworld:

His latest album is called

Astroworld. It came out in 2018.

This album is a really special one.

The name Astroworld came from

an old Theme park in Houston.

Astroworld was shut down in

2005. Travis came there a lot

when he was young, so he wanted

to recreate that feeling so he

made Astroworld. But the special

thing is he made a Festival/

Theme park. A lot of famous

rappers performed there for

example Scheck Wes. I have

bought the album in LP version

because I liked it a lot.

Sneakers:

As I said before Travis Scott is a

new fashion icon, especially with

sneakers. The collabs between his

brand (Cactus Jack) and Nike are

very hyped. When a product is

hyped it means that there not a

lot of pairs made, and a lot of

people want a pair. So, to get one

you have 2 options: you can write

yourself in for a raffle on the Nike

SNKRS app or you have to be


really quick on the Cactus Jack

site. The problem is that a lot of

people are buying the shoes to

resell them. Because the value of

these shoes is going to be a lot

higher, sometimes 15x the retail

price. Cactus jack does not only

work with Nike. They also did

collab with McDonalds for

example. They made a meal and

shirts. I managed to get a shirt for

retail.

Cactus Jack Jordan 1 high.

Retail: $200

Price now: $1500

Fans:

Travis has fans all over the world,

some people know him from his

shoes others from his music. I am

a big fan since 2017, I heard his

album (Rodeo) and really liked it.

He is with distance my favorite

artist.

Travis Scott.


Hello, we are Yurre Lars and

Chakir we chose the topic the big

5 because we are interested in

animals and this topic seems nice

to us. We have also animals at

home for example a hamster, a

rabbit and a turtle etc.

The big five is:

• The African elephant

• The African lion

• The black rhino

• The African Leopard

• The cape buffalo

Why are they called the big

five?

The term was invented by big

game hunters and refers to the

five most difficult animals in

Africa to hunt on foot. It also

has to do with the size and

danger of the animal. Now

they just use a camera to hunt

on them and that is better in

my thought.

on safari - and certainly for

true wildlife enthusiast - "The

Big Five" is synonymous with

the ultimate safari experience.

A number of South African

private game lodges even give

tourists a certificate when they

see the Big Five. It is not too

difficult for this: morning safari,

open jeep, evening safari, night

safari, step safari: everything

counts. Mala Mala Game

Reserve, one of the most

famous South African safari

lodges, was until a few years

ago part of Sabi Sands Reserve.

The park borders the Kruger

Park and Mala Mala even has a

history online of wildlife

sightings of the Big Five.

During the last 20 years, 2008

was Mala Mala's best year ever,

with only 9 days of no

observation of

The Big

Five.

not only known to hunters: it is

also an attraction for South

Africa travel. tourists who go


The

biologist

Jane

Goodall

and where can they be seen?

That were words from a

famous biologist called Jane

Goodall

For years I

have been

watching beautiful nature

documentaries on TV.

Preferably those from National

Geographic or the BBC. There I

can dream away with the

beautiful images of immense

herds of wildebeest and zebras

in beautiful African landscapes.

I look with delight at the

graceful steps and movements

of giraffes, the strength of the

jaws of crocodiles, the precision

with which leopards stalk their

prey and the cooperation of

lions in the hunt for a meal. My

admiration goes out to the

intelligence of elephants in

their behavior and emotion

and there is a smile of

recognition at the sight of

playful gorillas and

chimpanzees. The animals of

Africa have been locked in my

heart forever. But one thing

that fascinates me the most

during a safari, seeing the Big

Five! But what is the Big five

The Big five consists of the

following animals:

The lion: the king of the

beasts.

The elephant: the largest land

animal in the world.

The buffalo: you might not

expect it immediately, but this

is the most dangerous of the

five, especially if it feels

threatened it can be very

aggressive.

The rhino: The most

endangered of the five, named

the black rhinoceros, is in

serious danger of extinction.

The leopard: the hardest of

the five to spot, it likes to hide

in trees and with its good

camouflage it is almost

invisible.


African elephant

The African elephant is a very

large herbivore and they have

almost hairless skin. They

become aggressive when their

young ones are being

maltreated. Elephants are

difficult to hunt because,

despite their large size, they are

able to hide in tall grass and

are more likely to charge than

the other species.

African lion

The lion is a large feline of

Africa and northwest India. The

female has a short tawny coat

and a tufted tail and the male

has a heavy mane around the

neck and shoulders. Lions are

desirable to hunters because of

the very real danger involved in

hunting them.

The black rhinoceros

The black

rhinoceros is a

large herbivore

having two

upright horns on

the nasal bridge.

He has a very thick

skin (1,5 to 5 cm) that

is his protective skin that skin is

formed from layers of collagen.

It is very hard. hunting is

extremely limited due to this. In

the context of big-game

hunting in Africa, the term

rhinoceros may also refer to

the white rhinoceros but

among big five game hunters,

the black rhinoceros is

preferred.

The African

leopard

The African

leopard is a

large, carnivorous

feline having either tawny fur

with dark rosette-like markings

or black fur. The leopard is

considered the most difficult of

the big five to hunt because of

their nocturnal and secretive

nature. They are wary of

humans and will take flight in

the face of danger. The leopard

is solitary by nature, and is

most active between sunset

and sunrise, although it may

hunt during the day in some

areas. Leopards can be found

in the Savanna Grasslands,

brush land and forested areas

in Africa. Of the big five, it is

most difficult to acquire

hunting as well.


The cape buffalo

The cape buffalo is a large

horned bivod. They are the only

animals within the Big Five

that are not endangered or

threatened. The Cape buffalo is

considered by many to be the

most dangerous of the big five

to hunters, with wounded

animals reported to ambush

and attack pursuers.

Fun facts about the big five

The

elephant

can hear

through

their feet

Elephants have

excellent hearing

due to their large ears, but

elephants can also hear very

well with their feet. With their

sensitive paws, they feel

vibrations from miles away.

These vibrations are sent to the

middle ear through the bones.

For example, the animal can

hear where danger threatens or

that a friendly group of

elephants is approaching

through for example a lion or

hyenas then they going to help

them, because elephants also

are very close to their family.

The lion has his own

fingerprint

Each lion has his own unique

code. For example, a zebra has

his own unique stripes and a

giraffe has his own unique

pattern, but a lion has his own

unique whiskers. You can think

for example by a human a

fingerprint.

The leopard needs a lot of

rest

The leopard is the fastest

animal on land but has not a

very good condition, because

when they are running 30

seconds or longer they cannot

run for a while, but they can

also be overheated or even die,

so the leopard need a lot of rest

when has run 30 seconds or

longer.

The rhino is rare

The rhino is really rare because

there are not so much left in

the wild, but the hunters

doesn’t care because, they keep


hunting on them. They keep

hunting because the horns

from the rhino are really

expensive in some lands, they

even make medicines with

rhino horns, so if they keep

hunting on them there will be

maybe over a few years no

rhinos in the wild.

The cape Buffalo is

democratic

When buffalos getting older,

they have the right to vote so,

when someone

wants to go

somewhere to eat

more than all the

buffalos voting and

who has the most

votes win. The little

buffalos cannot vote

because they are not

that wise as an adult

buffalo but if they

are becoming older,

they can eventually

vote.


The importance of the SSD

(Solid-State Drive)

The SSD is key to the PlayStation

5 experience. Internal storage will

be built so then it has 825GB for

the custom SSD – that's less than

you'll find in the Xbox Series X. It

may not be as good as the Xbox X,

but it has built just as cleverly.

SSDs don’t just load faster, but

allow for bigger open worlds,

theoretically. Developers wouldn’t

need to make games with smaller

worlds due to the limitations of

mechanical hard drives, while

SSDs will also allow system

memory to be used more

effectively. SSDs have more

bandwidth, so data can be loaded

from the SSD when it’s needed,

rather than heaps of potentially

needless data being loaded into

RAM (random access memory). In

pure gameplay terms that means

that games will suffer less from

texture pop-in, while load times

will be hugely reduced

when using a game's fast-travel

option. Booting up from standby

should be

generally, much faster, too.

You'll also have more control over

how you install and remove

games, meaning you could just

install a game's multiplayer mode

rather than the full block of data.

This will allow for the launch of

direct gameplay, allowing players

to jump straight into aspects of

different games (such as

matchmaking, continue save

game etc.) without having to boot

up the full game. As for

expandable storage, Sony appears

to be allowing for off-the-shelf PC

drives, rather than priority storage

systems that Xbox will primarily

be relying on. However, there

aren't many drives on the market

right now that use the interface

required – they need to be capable

of at least a 5.5GB/s transfer

speed.

PS4 games on the PS5 will work

just fine if saved to a regular HDD,

however, so you won't need to tap

into that precious SSD space

unnecessarily.

When asked about the PlayStation

5’s speed compared to its currentgen

console at a corporate

strategy meeting, Sony made the

claim that PS5 will “revolutionize

the game experience for users” in

an official Sony document. Sony

CEO Kenichiro Yoshida added that


the PS5’s custom-built SSD will

enable processing speeds that

dwarf those found on PlayStation

4 – with the PS5 boasting

processing speeds 100 times faster

than the PS4. In fact, Epic Games

has revealed that the PS5's SSD is

so fast that the developer had to

rework its Unreal Engine 5 tech

demo to take full advantage of it.

The Sony PS5 is the next-gen

PlayStation console, replacing the

PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro. We are

really looking forward to the PS5,

and we are trying to find as much

information as we possibly can,

here is our article. Sony has now

confirmed that the PS5 release

date is set for a Holiday of 2020.

"These updates may not be a huge

surprise, as we started to reveal

additional details about our vision

for the next generation," explained

SIEE President (Jim Ryan) on the

PlayStation website. That's a good

thing too, because if Sony wants

to compete with the Xbox Series X,

it has to look to release its nextgen

console around the same

time.

announce the full specifications of

its next-generation PS5, interviews

and unofficial leaks have slowly

filled in the picture — and it looks

like the PS5 won’t be cheap Our

prediction is that the PS5 is going

to cost around $500 to 450 euro

The PS5 will definitely be

backwards compatible with

"almost all" PS4 games - earlier

generations are still to be

confirmed. This means

that the games on the

PS 1, 2 and 3

might be

available on

the ps5 but

we aren’t

sure yet.

The PS5

will come

with a new controller, according

to Sony. The PS5 controller (we

don't know the official name yet)

will include haptic feedback to

replace the DualShock 4's rumble

technology, designed to improve

the controller's feedback and

therefore player impression.

The next console generation will

be here soon, with the Sony

PlayStation 5 set to face off

against the Xbox Series X in late

2020. While Sony has yet to


*Our article is about the Dutch

Army because we find it an

interesting subject and it is a topic

in the news with the Corona Virus

on this moment.

(During the pandemic, the Dutch

army helps with transporting

patients to different hospitals, they

supply breathing equipment

and bring food packages. They are

also investigating groups that are

against corona measures.)

The article is about the past of the

Army, what is the army doing in

the Netherlands and the four parts

of the army:

1.The Army

2.The Air Force

3.The Navy (and)

4.The Marechaussee.

Origin of the army:

In the past there were only kings

and Emperors. These Kings and

Emperors had a lot of power over

the entire empire. In the

Netherlands, these were mainly

Napoleon & Charlemagne. They

also wanted to make the Empire

they had bigger every time

and hired soldiers to achieve that.

In the past & now:

In the Netherlands it will not

happen that parts of our country

will be taken over by other

countries, but it still happens in

other parts of the world!

Often the point is that the rulers in

other countries want more land,

but usually it is about religious

differences.

In the past, every boy had to be

employed when he turned

eighteen. This was called

conscription. You could not just

refuse this. Now the army only

employs men and woman who

want this, they are with about

40,000. They are called

professional soldiers.

What is the army

doing in the

Netherlands?

The Dutch

army helps to have

peace and security

in the Netherlands. They guard

and defend Dutch territory and

our neighbouring countries. The

entire army in the Netherlands is

called the armed forces.

Each part of the Dutch armed

forces has its own tasks to protect

the safety of the Dutch. Not only


do they protect the Netherlands,

they also protect the Netherlands

Antilles and NATO allies. These

allies can be seen as a kind of

“friends" of the Netherlands. They

protect us, we protect them!

The Army is one of the largest

employers in the Netherlands. An

employer is the same as a boss.

Do you know how many people

work at Defense?

Nearly 60,000! The most is

military, almost 42,000. But there

are also people who are not

military, they are civilians!

*The word army has two

meanings: army as total armed

forces and army as a part that

only operates on land, the land

forces.

Protecting a country consists for

example of:

• Fight against terrorism.

• Helping when there is a

major disaster.

• Protecting the Dutch

borders.

• Stopping unknown aircraft

in the air.

• Clearing mines and

explosives.

• Provide assistance to the

police and fire

brigade.

The Royal army is split in 4

parts:

• The Royal Netherlands Army

- active on land.

• The Royal Netherlands Air Force

- active in the air.

• The Royal Netherlands Navy

- active at sea.

• The Royal Netherlands

Marechaussee - police within the

army.

The army works on the land,

helps people and ensures

safety. The army is the part where

you used to start with your

military service. The basis of all

other parts.

An important task of the army is

to ensure peace and freedom in

the world. Dutch soldiers are

therefore sent to places all over

the world. The military

go for example to areas

where there is war. There

they try to prevent a

war. Further they help

people build bridges

and dig wells.

The air force was first part of the

army. It was called the Aviation

Department. In 1939 it became

the Aviation Brigade. After that it

became an independent part of

the armed forces. The Air Force

monitors Dutch airspace 24 hours


a day with two fighter planes.

These can stop or even shoot

down enemy aircraft. There are

also helicopters to transport

patients or rescue people from the

sea. Our air force is

also working abroad.

The navy was there

much earlier than the air

force. The navy works at

sea and takes care

for safety at sea. The

navy consists of two

parts: the Marine Corps

and the Fleet. The Fleet consists of

the various ships of the navy. For

example, aircraft carriers and

submarines. The Navy also has

helicopters. With the Fleet there

are working approximately 7,500

people. There are specially trained

people in the Marine Corps. They

work at sea and on land. They

help with war and fight

against terrorism. They also do

secret investigations and help

people.

The Marechaussee is the military

police of the Dutch armed forces.

You often see them in the fight

against riots at football matches.

Other tasks of the Royal

Netherlands Marechaussee

include guarding royal

palaces (The military police also

secured the Royal Household),

security at airports and helping

the 'normal' police.

After several terrorist attacks in

Europe, the Dutch government has

decided to set up the High-Risk

Security Eskadron (HRB

squadron) as part of the

Marechaussee.

Ranks in the military:

As you may already know, the

army has different ranks, which

indicates the status of a soldier.

For example, not every soldier is a

soldier, there are also corporals,

sergeants, lieutenants, captains,

majors, colonels and generals

within the army.

The rank of a soldier is indicated

on the uniform of a soldier. You

must now that the ranks for the

navy sometimes have a slightly

different designation than the

ranks for the army and air force.

Within the navy, for example,

there are ranks such as sailor,

captain at sea and rear admiral.

It is the same for the

Marechaussee, where ranks

sometimes have a different

designation…

Illegal immigration

What is it?

Immigration refers to

the migration of people into a

country in violation of

the immigration laws of that

country, or the continued

residence of people without the

legal right to live in that country.

Illegal immigration tends to be

financially upward, from poorer to

richer countries. Illegal residence

in another country creates the risk

of detention, deportation, and/or

other sanctions.

The reasons

The most comment reason for

illegal immigration is because

people want to start a new live in

another country, because

people got an arrested or are

in indebts.

The effects

The combined effects of the

desire to avoid detection and

the greater temporary nature

of the migration has an effect

on: the country-specific skills tend

to rise with the overall skill level

of workers, even if it declines as a

share of total skills.

Most strict borders

USA

The borders from the USA are very

strict. They have a lot of

security like police dogs, military

security, 360°c scans, fingerprint

and iris scans, import documents

and they pick random people out

of the line to check if they bring

anything illegal.

Australia

It is almost the same as when you

go to the USA, but they are super

strict that you don’t damage the

special nature. For example:

before you land in Australia, they

walk with big sprays, so you don’t

bring any seeds or nature that

isn’t from Australia.


Asia

The borders in Asia are probably

the strictest of all. Not only are

there drug

dogs, military and lots of

security. Before you even

can get on the

plane man and

women must

be separate. You

have to get in a

line and one by one you will get

checked. There are also military

people who are weaponed and if

you look suspicious, they will take

you out of the line and check you

again.

Smuggling

Smuggling is the illegally

transportation of people,

information, objects, wildlife or

substances across an international

border.

There are many different

motivations to smuggle, these

include the participation in illegal

trade, like in the illegal weapon

trade, exotic wildlife trade, drug

trade, illegal immigration and

emigration, tax evasion or the heft

of the items being smuggled.

Types of smuggling

• Goods

It usually occurs when either the

customs duties are high enough to

allow a smuggler to make a large

profit on the clandestine goods or

when there is a strong demand for

prohibited goods, like narcotics

and weapons.

• People smuggling

Also known as human

smuggling. The transportation or

illegal entry of people across the

international border, in

infringement of one or more

countries. Around 90% of people

who have illegally crossed the

border between Mexico and the

US are believed to have a

paid person/ smuggler to lead

them across the borders.

People smuggling can be used to

rescue a person from a terrible

living situation. For example,

when the southern part of the

USA allowed slavery, many

of then moved to the northern

part of the USA because there it

wasn’t allowed. They went via

the Underground Railroad. It was

the same during the Shoah,

Jewish people were smuggled out

of Germany.

• Wildlife

Wildlife smuggling is that you

want to transport illegal animals

into a country, the most

commonly smuggled animal is the

pangolin,


a mammal. The CITES (Conventio

n on International Trade

in Endangered Species of wild

fauna and flora) controls the

movement of endangered wildlife

across the border.

Study

The base requirements for a U.S.

Airport Customs Officer is an

undergraduate degree or one year

of experience working in security.

In addition, you must have a valid

driver’s license, proof of U.S.

citizenship, pass a drug test and a

criminal background check.

Finally, you must receive a

qualifying score on an entrance

exam administered by U.S.

Customs and Border Protection.


Exoplanets are

interesting

planets, that are

very special.

But what are Exoplanets and how

are they found?

Exoplanets are planets that are in

another Solar-System.

It is important to find Exoplanets

because it gives us a better idea

what’s around us.

And because in that way we can

maybe find microscopical life.

In this article we talk about how

Exoplanets are found, what they

are and what are habitable

Exoplanets.

WHAT ARE EXOPLANETS?

Exoplanets or extrasolar planets

are planets in another solar

system and sometimes people call

them ‘Alien worlds.

The first possible evidence of an

exoplanet was noted in 1917, but

it was not recognized as one. The

first real detection occurred in

1992. The word exo comes from

the Greek and means outside.

these worlds are far, far outside

our own solar system.

Astronomers have confirmed more

than 4.000 exoplanets orbiting

another star. they confirmed the

first exoplanet orbiting a sunlike

star in 1995. The true discoveries

came with advancing technology.

The question many people ask

themselves is: why didn’t we see

them before? The reason is that

these planets are too far away to

see. Several lightyears at their

closest. Normally we would see

lights, but they don’t shine with

their own light just as our planet,

the exoplanets reflect the light

from their star. Compared to their

stars, exoplanets are not very

bright even the largest are

drowned in the light of their

brighter stars. That’s why, even

now, even the largest are too

small to be glimpsed in optical

telescopes, although a few have

been discovered already.

Before the first exoplanet

discovery, most astronomers


assumed exoplanets, if found,

would resemble the planets in our

solar system. But that is not true,

their position and the time it takes

to make rounds around their star

is in always different than other

planets. Exoplanets are very hard

to see directly with telescopes.

They are hidden by the bright

glare of the stars they orbit. So,

astronomers use other ways to

detect and study these distant

planets. They search for

exoplanets by looking at the

effects these planets have on the

stars they orbit. One way to find

exoplanets is called the “wobbly

star”. When a planet orbits a star

not perfectly that means when a

planet doesn’t make perfect

rounds it looks like the star is

wobbling astronomists look

through telescopes to find these

“wobbly stars”. Scientists think

that there are also exomoons they

are not found yet but scientists

where very close in 2017, they

thought that the exoplanet Kepler-

1625 b had an exomoon. They

looked carefully at the light of the

star and saw something that

looked more like a moon than a

planet. Apparently, it seemed that

it was not an exomoon. The thing

the scientist thought was an

exomoon was approximately as

big as Neptune.

THE JAMES WEBB SPACE-

TELESCOPE.

Exoplanets are found by big and

expensive space-telescopes. For

example, The James Webb spacetelescope.

The James Webb spacetelescope

is going to discover new

Exoplanets.

On the 31st of October 2021 the

James Webb space-telescope is

going to be launched into space.

The James Webb space-telescope

was predicted to be launched

somewhere around 2007, and

they then thought it would cost

$1.000.000.000 dollar, But then

the James Webb space-telescope

wasn’t launched in 2007 but more

than a decade later (it is going to

launch in 2021). But because of

that it’s total lifetime costs $

9.660.000.000 dollar. 9 times as

much!

A part of the surface of The James

Webb space-telescope is made of

a 1 atom thick gold layer, because

gold collects the most light in that

way the James Webb spacetelescope

can find the first stars


and galaxies after the Big Bang,

and Exoplanets.

The James Webb space-telescope

is known to be the powerfullest

space-telescope ever created.

the light is blocked you

immediately think it is an

exoplanet, but it can also be a

passing part of debris, so that’s

why space-telescopes take pictures

for such a long time.

HOW ARE EXOPLANETS

FOUND?

Scientists find Exoplanets in a

couple of different ways. Imagine

that you see a space-telescope in

space, looking for Exoplanets. The

space-telescope can block the

light from star, and then the

space-telescope can see the light

that’s left (small light dots), and

that are Exoplanets. And there is

also another space-telescopes find

Exoplanets.

When the space-telescope sees a

star. The space-telescope looks at

the star and when he sees the

light is blocked in the form of a

circle. Then there is an Exoplanet

circling around the star. You

would probably think now that

this all happens quickly. But that

isn’t true, the big and expensive

space-telescopes take picture of

this occurations week after week,

month after month and even year

after year! Because when you see

WHAT ARE HABITABLE

EXOPLANETS?

An exoplanet or extrasolar planet

is a planet outside the Solar

System. The first possible evidence

of an exoplanet was noted in 1917

but was not recognized as such.

The first confirmation of detection

occurred in 1992. This was

followed by the confirmation of a

different planet, originally

detected in 1988. As of 1 October

2020, there are 4,354 confirmed

exoplanets in 3,218 systems, with

712 systems having more than

one planet. There are many


exoplanets in the galaxy, but they

are not all habitable.

Some are suitable for life and

some aren’t. Life can only be

detected if it is developed at a

planetary scale and strongly

modified the planetary

environment, as we already know

Exoplanets are Earth-like planets.

So, they have the same

characteristics as our Earth has.

Here are some of the Exoplanets

that are maybe suitable for life:

• Proxima Centauri

• Gliese 667 Cc

• Kepler-442-B

• Wolf 1061c

• Kapetyn B

These planets are some of the

many planets that could be

suitable for life, there are

obviously many more planets but

that would be too much to write

on only one page. The least

massive planet is called Draugr, it

is twice the mass of the Moon. The

most massive planet is known as

HR 2562 b its about 30 times the

mass of Jupiter. However the

“planet” is too massive to be a

planet and may be called a Brown

Dwarf instead There is evidence

that extragalactic planets,

exoplanets farther away in

galaxies beyond the local Milky

Way galaxy, may exist. The

nearest exoplanets are located 4.2

light-years (1.3 parsecs) from

Earth and orbit Proxima Centauri,

the closest star to the Sun.


In the picture you can also see

some planets that could be

suitable for life. It also says

“Ranked by Distance from Earth

(light years). The light-year is a

unit of length used to express

astronomical distances and is

equivalent to about 9.46 trillion

kilometres or 5.88 trillion miles.

As defined by the International

Astronomical Union (IAU), a lightyear

is the distance that light

travels in vacuum in one Julian

year (365.25 days). Because it

includes the word "year", the term

light-year. Misinterpreted as a unit

of time.

Exoplanets are found by big and

expensive space-telescopes.

E.G. the James Webb spacetelescope.

This space telescope is

extremely expensive and is going

to be launched in 2021.

Exoplanets are found in multiple

ways, and a lot of technology is

needed for it.

Some exoplanets are suitable for

life, but some aren’t.

One of the suitable exoplanets for

life is:’Kepler-442-B’.

Exoplanets are weird planets.

Some are suitable for life and

that’s very cool.

But they will always be in a galaxy

far far away.

In conclusion…….

Exoplanets are planets that are in

another Solar-System.

The word ‘exo’ comes from Greek

and means outside.

Astronomers have confirmed thar

there are more than 4000

exoplanets orbiting around

another star.


SpaceX (space exploration) is a

private rocket manufacturer from

California.

Founded by Elon Musk in 6 May

2002.

His goal by founding the company

was making space travel cheaper

and reach Mars.

fueled by RP-1 (a highly refined

form of kerosene)

And LOX (liquid oxygen).

The falcon 9 is so special because

it is the first rocket from which the

booster landed successfully back

on earth.

For the landing they used a drone

ship (enormous boat with a

platform on top)

To land the booster on.

The falcon 9 is a vehicle that is

capable of having 2 payloads

• Humans

• Cargo

In total they developed 5 space

crafts from which

They are mostly known for their

rockets called the falcon 9 and the

falcon heavy

For which they since 2014 rented

launch platform 39a at cape

Canaveral air force Florida.

Falcon 9

The falcon 9 is a 70

meter high 2 stage orbital rocket

For cargo the rocket gets equipped

with a fairing (the big oval on top

of a rocket)

But for humans it gets equipped

with a spacecraft called dragon v2

which successfully launched

humans’ top space on 30 May

2020 with astronauts Bob

Behnken and Doug Hurley which

are both former space shuttle

astronauts.

Th falcon 9 gets his name because

the first booster stage is equipped


with nine merlin 1-d engines

which have a diameter from 1,25

m.

star link

The falcon 9 also participates in a

big ProJet called star link,

In which Elon Musk hopes to

launch thousands of small

satellites in low earth orbit for a

better internet connection all over

the world.

SpaceX has already launched

more than 1000-star link satellites

with their falcon 9 rocket.

Falcon heavy

Falcon heavy is a falcon 9 rocket

with 2 side boosters which makes

it a 3-stage rocket

With a payload capacity of 64

metric tons. This makes the falcon

heavy the best high-power rocket

active nowadays.

Because the falcon heavy has two

falcon 9 booster’s attached

boosters that the rocket in total

has 27 merlin engines which give

him a power of 22,819 kN.

And that’s why it has the name

falcon heavy.

Starship

Starship is the now in

development mars rocket which is

getting build at SpaceX private

spaceport in boca chica, until now

they only have test models

without booster with which they

do test flights sometimes.

It’s one of the first heavy class

rockets that will fly on liquid

methane

If the rocket is finished it will bet

the best rocket in the heavy class

lift rockets with a trust of 72

meganewtons.

This trust is produced by their new

27 raptor engines with a full flow

stage combustion.

They plan to launch the first man

to mars in 2024 and not just to

explore but also to stay there and

make humanity an interplanetary

species.

They want to 3d print a base on

mars with filament made of mars

ground in the hope that humanity

will ever start a civilization there.

They also going to use the water

from the melted pole ice to split it

to water and liquid methane as

fuel for the rockets.


Launch complex 39-A

In 2014 SpaceX got launch

platform 39-A.

It’s one of the most historical

launchpads since space history

because it is also the pad from

which the Saturn-V has flown his

historical moon missions.

Later the pad also was used for

the space shuttle program which

helped building the international

space station.

Now SpaceX launches their falcon

9 and heavy rocket to bring cargo

and humans to the international

space station. That makes launch

complex 39-A the most historic

launchpad in the history.

The main goal of SpaceX.

The main goal for SpaceX with

their CEO Elon Musk is to make

space travel a lot cheaper by

reusing their rockets and make

sure that humanity will be

interplanetary so that our race will

never go instinct. And which place

is better fort his then mars?

in producing, creating and selling

from visual computer technology.

They are most known due to their very

popular line of graphics cards. But

that’s not all they have, in the

upcoming article I’m going to tell you

everything you need to know about Nvidia.

Graphics cards

Nvidia’s Very popular line of

graphics cards is split up in a

couple of groups:

➢ First you have the Nvidia

Titan RTX, that was the best

graphics card on the market,

but with a price point of

€2.749,- It was also the most

expensive, for consumer

produced card. It’s still on

sale. But now the newer

generation of 30 series is

coming it probably won’t

sell anymore because you

can get such a better deal

with the newer series

➢ Second, you have the

Nvidia GeForce RTX

category. That is the highend

group of the line with a

little bit more affordable

card. These are the cards

from the Nvidia GeForce

RTX line:

● Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060:

It’s the lowest end card of

the High-end group of the

more affordable graphics

cards. You can get it for

about €350,-.

● Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060

Super and RTX 2060 TI: are

the, let’s say, upgraded

versions of the normal RTX

2060 card and therefore

They’re a little pricier, with a

price around €380,-.

● Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070:

With this card you already

come closer to the High-end

gaming club. You can

render most of the popular


titles (for example: CS:GO,

Fortnite, Rainbow 6 Siege

etc.) at around 100 to 150

fps (frames per second). And

it comes with a price point

around €430,-

● Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070

super and RTX 2070 TI:

These are again the more

“upgraded” versions of the

normal RTX 2070 card, and

therefore It comes with an

upgraded price of about

€501,-

● Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080:

This is the second-best

graphics card that was on

the market before the new

30 series. And of course, you

need to have a big splash of

money to be able to afford

this card. It comes with a

price point of... €900,-!!!!

➢ And then last but not least,

THE one in only, RTX 2080

TI and RTX 2080 Super: If

you want to have this card

it’ll probably cost you a rib

;). It comes with a price of

€1200,-

➢ Then you have Nvidia

GeForce GTX these are the

budget/ mid end range

cards. I’m only going to tell

a couple

● Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650: is

one of most popular midrange

cards that's available

right now. and it comes with

a price around €160,- to

€180,-.

● Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660

(or 1660 super or TI): this

card(s) is the most popular

mid-range card that is

available at the moment.

● Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060,

1070, 1080: these cards are

the predecessors of the RTX

2060, 2070, 2080 and were

very popular a couple of

years ago but still have

reasonable performance.

they come with a price

around €400,- to €700,-

➢ And then finally, the

moment everyone's been


waiting for, drum roll

please… THE RTX 30 series,

where I was talking about

all the time in this article.

The newest set of Nvidia

GeForce RTX series. The

cards in this category are

made with the newest chips

and second of all, they are

the best price quality ratio.

With these cards you can

literally play any game you

want.

● Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070:

this is the lowest end of the

30 series cards, but

nonetheless it’s definitely

not a bad card, actually it

has the power of 2 RTX

2080 cards, and they are

already top of the top. The

RTX 3070 comes with a

price of around €510,- that’s

also a

● Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080:

This is the mid end card of

the 30 series, It has the

power of 4 or even 5 RTX

2080 cards, This card is

perfect to play games on

more than 200 fps and you

could even play them in 8K

resolution. This beast of a

card has a price of… €810,-.

That’s still less than the RTX

2080, then you’d think:

“how?” no one really knows

how it is possible that

Nvidia is from day to day

making their cards less

expensive but, no one

complains. (;

● And then ‘really’ last but not

least, The Nvidia GeForce

RTX 3090, This is the new,

most powerful graphics

card, that is produced for

consumers. You “can”

stream 8K with this thing.

There literally is no better

card then this, therefore it

comes with his own price,

€1.600,-. But! What you pay

for it, you’ll really get it back

with the product itself.

Okay, okay, enough about boring

graphics cards. But actually,

Nvidia isn’t really a “fun”

company, it’s all about chips and

that kind of stuff, but the things

you can do with their product are

most of the time fun, for example,

without Nvidia you wouldn’t be

able to play your CS:GO or your


GTA V. Okay, but ‘what other

things do they make?’ Do you ask?

Well, even though their main

focus lies on graphics cards/chips,

they also make other things like:

motherboard chips, servers/server

chips and way more, but because I

now need to end this article

(otherwise it’ll be way to long and

boring to read) I’m not going to

talk about these things today, but

if you’re interested you could

always visit Nvidia’s website:

www.nvidia.com.

Thank you for reading my article

and see you next time!!!


A lot of people think that the black

Pete is discriminatory but other

think it’s normal and a tradition.

What do you think?

Two out of three people want to

keep Black Pete. This has been

shown by research. In recent

years, fewer and fewer people

wanted to stick to the traditional

black Pete. Why do we keep

talking about Black Pete's

appearance?

the discussion has gotten a bit out

of hand

people have gone on strike, even

Kim Kardashian has also joined in

the Pete discussion in our country.

The American reality star has her

reservations about black Pete, she

said on Twitter.

But how about the tradition? It

originated in the Netherlands and

Belgium,

Where the Pete’s help Saint

Nicholas, Or in Dutch de Zwarte

Piet en Sinterklaas.

A group of Amsterdam

residents filed a complaint about

this tradition in 2013, arguing that

it is offensive to them and must be

stopped. They argued that it could

easily be replaced with a new

tradition of “kleuren

Pieten”(colorful) or “regenboog

(rainbow) Pieten”: in other words,

multi-colored Pete’s, so there

would be a Yellow Pete, a Purple

Pete, and so on. The tradition was

not stopped, and the debate

revives every year. In 2017, the

fight reached such a height that a

group of Zwarte Piet defenders

stopped traffic on a highway

entering the province of Friesland.

They wanted to prevent anti-Piet

protesters from reaching the place

where the entry (the arrival of

Sinterklaas in the Netherlands)

would take place.

Shall we just do it?

Cancel that whole party, write the

kids a note, and celebrate Christm

as from now

on? I cannot imagine that there is


so much fuss about yes

or no black Pete’s.

FACT

Traditionally, Black Pete is black

because he is a Moor from Spain.

Those who represent. Black Pete

usually wear a black face and

colorful Renaissance clothing, in

addition to curly wigs and bright

red lipstick. In recent years, the

character has become the subject

of disagreement.

In the second half of the 2010s,

communities and various

organizations at home and

abroad chose to use either the

traditional version of Black Pete

in parties or variations, usually the

Sooty Piet version. Some have

included both. These decisions

have sparked protests and violent

incidents involving pro-Pete

protesters (those who support the

traditional version of the

character) and anti-Pete

protesters (those who want a new

version of the character or get rid

of him altogether) goods.

In November 2017, a group of

anti-Pete protesters were stopped

from attending a rally at a

national television party after

their vehicles were blocked on the

A7 motorway by pro-Pete

protesters, 34 of whom were later

charged. and found guilty of

obstructing traffic. During an

investigation in November 2018,

violent incidents took place in

cities such as Nijmegen, The

Hague, Leeuwarden, Den Helder,

Rotterdam. In Eindhoven, anti-Piet

protesters were surrounded by an

estimated group of 250 people,

described as "football hooligans",

who attacked them with eggs and

shouted racist insults. A similar

protest in Tilburg led to the arrest

of 44 pro-Piet protesters.

In 2019 it was decided that the

nationally broadcast Sinterklaas

arrival in Apeldoorn would only

show the Roetpieten. In

November, a group called Kick

Out Zwarte Piet was attacked

during a meeting. Windows were

smashed, nearby vehicles were

smashed, and fireworks were shot


in the building where the group

planted protests in 12

communities that still feature

traditional versions of the

character.

Surinamese accent

A highlight was a news report on

RTV Noord. In that news report

spoke a Zwarte Piet, a white lady

who was painted black. To my

surprise she did her best to speak

Prime Minister Mark Rutte says

that his view of Black Pete has

undergone "major changes".

But now Prime Minister Rutte

expects the tradition to die out, he

told the House of Representatives.

Activists have been protesting for

years against racism in the

Netherlands against Black Pete

('Zwarte Piet' in Dutch), seeing the

tradition of December 5 as an

offensive relic of colonial times.

Supporters, meanwhile, claim it's

an innocent part of Christmas

celebrations that kids enjoy.

Rutte said he expected that in a

few years' time there will be "no

more black Pete’s".

He said many people, including

children, had told him that they

felt discriminated against because

Black Pete is black.

3 facts that show that Black Pete

is racist

with a Surinamese accent.

According to this lady the Zwarte

Piet should speak with a

Surinamese accent. In principle

not surprising, because

that happened in the past. But she

did it in 2016 and thereby proved

that Zwarte Piet indeed has a

colonial past and is racist.

Dark people called Black Pete.

Dark people are constantly

blamed by Black Pete , as this

piece shows. Also, people who did

not get involved in the 'Zwarte

Piet' conversation. This usually

happens because of their skin

color and / or their hair. That this

is happening already indicates

how racist it is and how it is being

used. There is nothing harmless

about it.


It's a servant

Combine the last point with the

fact that Black Pete is a servant,

which really cannot be denied,

then you have a super racist party

that is celebrated every year and

is used to intentionally hurt people

by the statements that are made.

Because dark people are then

actually called servants and let

that be something from history.

The colonial past is quickly

confirmed by the accent of the

first lady and the fact that black

people are called Black Pete

In the days after the nuclear

accident Fukushima, radiation

released to the atmosphere forced

the government to declare an

ever-larger evacuation zone

around the plant Fukushima

The nuclear disaster Fukushima

happened in a city called Ōkuma

in Japan.

It all started with a

wave that started on

11 march 2011 there

was a catastrophic

earthquake that

struck 370 km

northeast of Tokyo

the wave started to build in height

the earthquake had so much

power it permanently moved the

main island of Japan (Honshu)

more than 2 meters to the east.

By the time the tsunami reached

the Japanese east coast the water

was around 40 meters high.

In the days after the accident,

radiation released to the

atmosphere forced the

government to declare an everlarger

evacuation zone around

then nuclear power plant.

Deaths: there has been 1 death by

cancer because of the radiation.

Injuries: there have been 16

physical injuries due to hydrogen

explosions and 2 workers have

been taken to the hospital with

possible radiation burns.

On the 5th of July 2012 the

national diet of Japan Fukushima

nuclear disaster independent

investigation commission (NAIIC)

found that the causes of the

nuclear disaster were foreseeable

and that the plant operator Tokyo

electric power company (TEPCO)

had failed the basic safety

requirements such as risk

assessment, preparing for

containing collateral damage and

developing evacuation plans.

Immediately after the earthquake

radio-active gases (xenon) are

measured: the reactor is leaking.

Within hours, the fuel - due to the

failure of the cooling systems and

the evaporation of cooling water –

melts completely. The molten

nuclear fuel first accumulates at


the bottom of the reactor pressure

vessel. More and more holes are

forming and the bottom melts. On

March 12, at 15h25 local time, a

hydrogen explosion tears the

building apart. In an attempt to

solve the problem, 8000 liters of

water are pumped into the reactor

per hour, but it completely

evaporates or runs away, through

the wrecked vessel into the

basement.

The meltdown started with a wave

within 50 minutes of the

earthquake the first wave

destroyed the nuclear power

plant’s 10-meter-high sea wall. 16

hours into the disaster the fuel in

1 reactor already melted with the

other 2 close behind. It would be

another 88 days until the

government admitted that a

meltdown had taken place, the

worst nuclear disaster since the

1986 Chernobyl incident. While

water caused the meltdown, it was

also the only way to stop it. Since

the disaster TEPCO has been

pumping hundreds of tons of

water into Fukushima to cool the

reactors and stop the outflow of

radiation. Some 800,000 tons of

highly radioactive water now sit in

hastily built tanks at the site,

enough to fill 315 Olympic-sized

swimming pools, with around 400

tons added to the tanks every day.

The government has spent more

than 1.5 billion dollars collecting

radioactive soil and earth from the

surroundings. Which now sits in

thousands of industrial-sized black

bags looking like the world's

deadliest grain harvest. How the

water and earth will be disposed

isn’t clear yet.

What is art actually?

Art can be many things like

painting, photography,

sculptures etc.

According to lumen, Art is a

highly diverse range of human

activities engaged in creating

visual, auditory, or performed

artifacts. Artworks that express

the author’s imaginative or

technical skill and are intended

to be appreciated for their

beauty or emotional power.

The oldest form of art is visual

arts, what are the things like

painting, sculptures,

photography, printmaking and

other visual media.

Architecture is also often

included as a visual art.

According to smashing

magazine Art is considered the

process or product of

deliberately arranging

elements in a way that appeals

to the senses or emotions. It

encompasses a diverse range of

human activities, creations and

ways of expression, including

music, literature,

film, sculpture and

paintings.

Drawings

Drawings is a technique where

images are depicted on a

surface like paper, canvas etc.

You can also draw on a

(drawing) tablet or tablet by

multiple drawing programs,

some of the popular programs

are Procreate, Madibeng Paint,

Ibis Paint X etc.

So as i said you can draw

digital or the traditional way

So traditional art, what is that?

That is the opposite of digital

art. What i mean with that are

for example sculptures,

paintings, sketches, selfportraits.

It’s the art that is a

part of a culture in a group of

people, skills and knowledge is

passed down to the generations

according to

yourdictionary.com


And now about the digital art,

it’s a new form of art from the

90s. As you saw from the name

it’s made digital. A newer

version of digital art is

augmented art

Augmented art

According to Charlotte Coates

augmented reality is the

process of using technology to

superimpose images, text or

sounds on top of what a person

can already see. It uses a

smartphone or tablet to alter

the existing picture, via an app.

The user stands in front of a

scene and holds up their

device. It will show them an

altered version of reality.

A few of the most well-known

applications of AR technology

are from the gaming world. For

example, Pokémon Go, the

game where users can ‘catch’

Pokémon hiding in the world

around them.

Animated creatures are

superimposed onto what

players can see through their

device’s camera. The

technology makes them appear

as if they are existing in the

real world.

There are different forms of art.

Examples of these forms

include: Architecture, sculpture,

painting, drawing, digital art,

literature, preforming, filming

and photography. But in this

article, we are mainly going to

focus on traditional arts and

digital arts.

Art styles:

In drawing and art in general there

are many different art-styles. In

traditional art, the painting can go

from very realistic to very abstract.

Realism is what the realistic art-style is

called, its often used in portraits and

landscapes. In abstract art you can’t

really see what’s it supposed to be, you

need to look at it for a longer time to

see all the details, abstract art is also

not true to reality, it couldn’t exist in

real life. These art styles are also

mostly used in traditional art

In digital art, most people have a

unique art style, almost every

artist draws their characters in a

different way. These styles can

variate from hyper-realistic to

anime, cartoon and everything in

between.


If you do digital art, you need to

find your own aesthetic. Shading

is also something you should

figure out if you want to do it.

Some people don’t like to do

shading, others do like it.

Animation:

If you do digital arts, you can also

try to do animation. Animation is

when you create the illusion

of movement in a drawing.

Making an animation costs lots of

time because you need to draw

every single step. In animation

there are also different programs

you can use, one of these

programs is for example flipaclip.

There are also different styles of

animations, some people

make more simple drawings and

smoother movements, others go

for high detail and less smooth

movement. And some people can

do both. There are also different

things you can animate. For

example, you have animated story

times, multiple animator projects,

animation memes and more.

Animation memes are little

animations people invent and

copy from other people. It’s the

purpose that they copy and make

the meme a bit more personal, so

you have a variety of the same

meme. Multiple animator projects

(map) are most of the time big

animation memes where multiple

animators team up to make one.

Every animator makes a separate

piece and when everything is

done. They put all of it together to

make one video.

So, we hope that you learned

more about art and what it is. We

also hope that you enjoyed our

Sint Martin’s Chronicles article.

We thank you for reading


On 17 July 289 people died because of a plane crash how did it

crash?

On 17 July a Boeing from

Malaysia-Airlines flight number

MH17 got shot. The plane started

from Amsterdam to Kuala

Lumpur(capital of Malaysia). The

plane got crashed above the

Ukraine village Hrabove, on board

were 298 people 15 crew

members there were 193 Dutch

people were on the plane.

Netherland 193

Germany 4

United Kingdom10

Belgium 4

Canada 4

Indonesia 12

Malaysia 43

Netherlands[f]193

New Zealand 1

Philipines 3

How did it crash? a lot of

researches were done, scientist

said it was a BUK missile. The

research was done by the

Onderzoeksraad voor Veiligheid.

The missile hit the plane on 10

kilometres height. The range that

the plane got shot can’t get

reached by a normal shoulder

launcher like a Bazooka, to shoot

down MH17 you need an

advanced launch system with a

heat censor. The place where the

research was done was scattered

with crap and belongings of

people. Little pieces of the BUK

missile were found in the leftovers

of the plane, the pieces were

scattered around a big field. There

were also big pieces like the wings

and the cockpit.

A BUK is a middle range missile

designed by the Soviet-Union later

by the Russians. A BUK missile is

used to take down helicopters,

cruise missiles, UAV’s and planes.

It was used in 1997 these aren’t

produced anymore since 1999.

An experiment was done a BUK

missile was fired on a test plane to

see what happened metal crap of

the missile was found the same

crap that was found by MH-17.

The missile that took down MH-17

comes over with a BUK-9M38 . A


maker off BUK missiles offered

that he would give the

Netherlands a BUK-9M38 and test

it., it has the BUK-M1 launch

system. The missile should be

launched from the same angle.

The risks of the route told Canada,

England, Australia and France

knew, but there was a public

conference were in was told that

Russian separates were practicing

mid-range missiles, they would be

able to shoot every plane in their

area.

down the flight MH17. The search

investigation keeps going.

On 10 November 2014 an official

commemoration was setup in RAI

Amsterdam, and it repeats every

year.

After waiting approximately 1 and

a half year we got on 31 July 2020

a new season from Umbrella

Academy. The Netflix series about

6 adopted kids with supernatural

powers who got saved by Number

5, one of the adopted kids, who

did that by traveling his sisters,

brothers and himself through

time, stayed alive after an

apocalypse, but because Number

5 is not the best with time

traveling they all got spawned in

different years from the past. They

all got spawned in the year 1960

until 1963 and the only one who

knew what there was going to

happen if they stayed in that time

zone was; Five.

Allison, Diego, Klaus, Luther, Five

and Vanya got spawned in

different years in the past. Klaus

got together with Ben, the dead

sibling who is a ghost, spawned in

1960. Allison got spawned in

1961. Luther got spawned in 1962.

Diego, Vanya and Five all three

got spawned in 1963 but on other

dates. The first thing Five saw was

a war. He was curious and looked

what exactly was happening. He

saw his siblings fighting, trying to

stop the war, but then on that

moment, everything got blew

away. Five was lucky and spawned

back in time with the knowledge

what happened. In ten days, he

had to gather his sisters and

brother together to prevent the

end of the world.

Klaus who got spawned in the

oldest time zone, started by

accident a cult. He still ignored

Bens advices what got Klaus in

trouble and Ben a lonely feeling.

After a few days Klaus realized

that the man he had a crush on

now was still alive. He searched

for his life crush trying to prevent

that he would die in the war like

he did when Klaus was just in the

present.

Allison who got spawned in 1961

married a black man named

Raymond. Because in that time

black people hadn’t have much of

rights it was a hard time for

Allison to live her life like she

normally would, but she was still

happy with her man. With a group

she protested to give black people

more rights.


Luther who got spawned in 1962

became the bodyguard of the

well-known Jack Ruby. He fought

in boxing rings for money and to

entertain.

Diego who got spawned in 1963

was brought to a mental hospital.

The reason was that he said a lot

of things about saving John F.

Kennedy, because he was from the

future, he knew John would get

shot when he turned around the

corner. Of course, nobody believed

him, so he was put in a mental

hospital where he met a girl

named Lila who helped him

escape.

Hargreaves siblings so of course

he let Five stay.

Now that there are many

differences made in their life,

there’s still one thing that is the

same as the present: people

wanting to murder the

Hargreaves. Of course, Five found

this out so now he has a new

mission; in ten days he must save

his siblings to prevent the end of

the world without someone

getting killed earlier.

Veerle Nix

Vanya who also got spawned in

1963 almost got hit by a car with

a man, woman and a boy in it.

They brought Vanya to their

house and wanted to call her

family, but Vanya didn’t

remember like everyone else

outside Five who her sisters and

brothers were, so she stayed by

the ‘happily’ living family.

While Five was searching through

time for his siblings he needed

some place to stay so he stayed by

a man named Elliot who is

obsessed with paranormal things

so he was very interested in the
