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.

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.

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?

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
Thank for your time to read this
article.
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
