Winter Holidays
Finally - the first break in the new season. Some
weeks of doing something else.
It is of course possible to just ‘chill’ for weeks, but
hey, holidays are not days off from everything. It
is possible to do something fun.
Of course, school is fun (sic!) but what more?

There are activities out there. The ice rink is there,
hiking trails, museum, anything really.
We have put some suggestions together for you,
but look it up yourself. It is easy.
Before we go much further, we extend a heartfelt
‘Thank you’ to our star writer: Marcia Ramodike.
She is now busy with a lot of things and cannot
write for us anymore (crying mojo here). It has
been a joy seeing her here and we trust that we
have all enjoyed her deep and sensitive articles.
With all the talk about energy, we have an article
on fusion technology. This may be the only thing
saving us as a planet.
And of course movies: This time we go to India
and China. LOL - surprise.
Good read!

Winter holidays
A welcome break from it all. In the middle of the year. But use it wisely
as they say.
Now, what is ‘wisely’? it could be to dig into revisions and extra
things… or it could just be to relax, recharge the batteries, smell the
coffee or something like that.
That is why we are looking at the lighter side of life: what can we do
during the holidays? Are there new things around us?
We also encourage all to look it up. The web is full of good things to
do. Every province has some new attractions and activities.
We might think that relaxing is a waste. It is not! It is important for us
all to ‘destress’ from time to time.
Meditation and deep relaxation are a way forward and maybe, just
maybe, try to discover this during the winter break.
Academia might be ‘boring’ this winter, but look at it as an opportuntity
to do other things. Maybe a coding camp could be fun?
Otherwise: have a nice holiday away from it all – just for now.

June Holidays
The District plans various extra sessions for identified subjects, learners
and schools. The Term 1 and Term 2 results serves as an indicator of
where the support is mainly needed. The aim is to get all learners to
pass and to get the best possible results with the interventions offered.
Topics are normally packaged in such a
fashion to make exams easier and manageable
when the time comes. Subject
experts target identified topics and sections
of the curriculum based on Terms 1
and 2 results.
Then there is the full-on Provincial programme
offered by the University of
Stellenbosch called the online Telematics
Programme. Subject Specialists and Lead
Teachers are tasked to teach targeted
learners – e.g. perhaps high-flyers or under
performers on this online platform.
Mass enrolment subjects are mostly targeted e.g. Mathematics, Languages
and high enrolment subjects like Business Studies, Tourism,
Geography, Accounting, History that could make a huge difference in
the success-rate.

Learners are also allowed a few days of rest, a week at least. A grade 12
learner must at this stage prioritize their studies and work towards their
final exams. Starting early eliminates undue stress and anxiety.
For teachers this time is also used to upskill, update, upgrade knowledge
skills and competencies in various areas of professional development.
Educational Conferences and information sessions are targeted at particularly
novice teachers and Lead Teachers or Subject Heads.
New ideas and changes in the education system is mediated during the
June holidays for at least a week or two e.g. Entrepreneurship in education
(E³) or GEC (General Education Certificate) and options at the end of
Grade 9 - The 3 Streams Model.
Learners, Teachers and Officials are also encouraged to take that much
needed mid-year break and come back refreshed to tackle the last
stretch of the year for the Gr12 learners.

NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AFTER YOU LEAVE SCHOOL?
Mr Z Mbolekwa
GOOD REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ENROLLING AS A STUDENT AT EKURHULENI EAST TVET COLLEGE:
1. We offer a wide selection of programmes:You need to use the time after you leave school to equip yourself with the skills that will make you employable. EEC TVET College offers vocational
training of a high standard in many elds ICT, Tourism, Accounting, Secretarial, Hospitality, Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Engineering, Wholesale and Retail as well as a wide range of artisan trades
that are recognised as being in high demand, e.g. Fitter and Turner, Welder, Boiler Maker, Air Conditioning Services Technician, Melter etc.
2. You can enrol as a student at EEC TVET College with Grade 9, 10, 11 and Grade 12 or equivalent: If you have passed the above grades, you qualify to enrol for the NC(V) National Certicate
(Vocational) which will give you a Matric Equivalent Certicate in vocational subjects after three years. If you have already passed Grade 12, you could enrol for a Report 191, (N4 – N6) Nated courses.
Each level takes six months so at the end of eighteen months you could have completed the theoretical aspect of your training. In order to get a National Diploma, you would have to have a further
eighteen months in the workplace as an intern (for Business Studies) or twenty-four months for the Engineering Diploma.
3. You will have real-life practical experience in the workplace and exposure to hosting companies: A crucial reason why you should think about doing your training at EEC TVET College is that we
believe that students “learn best by doing”. Whether it is in simulation rooms or in the electrical or mechanical workshops or in the real workplace, the theoretical and practical components of a TVET
College curriculum have to be integrated. Students have to complete a period of Work Based Experience (WBE). This gives them actual real-life experience in the workplace and the chance to apply the
knowledge they have acquired in the classroom. Those students who approach their WBE period professionally with a determination to learn as much as they can, enhance their chances of becoming
employable. Qualifying students are also selected on the basis of their academic record, to participate in learnerships where they divide their time at the College between their theory classes and the
practical components in the workplace with a company. They often have the opportunity to take their trade tests with that company and make contacts in the industry which could be helpful to them
in the future. Students are encouraged to be proactive in marketing themselves and looking for placement opportunities using their own initiative.
4. Financial assistance for prospective students available: NSFAS bursaries (not loans that have to be repaid) are available to nancially needy students who are academically capable, pass their
subjects and attend all their classes and practicals.
5. EEC TVET College is an accredited TVET College for programmes ranging from Engineering, Business, ICT, Hospitality and Tourism to Occupational programmes. Occupational programmes will lead
to apprenticeship and eventually artisanship.
6. In choosing your career you are making one of the most important decisions of your life: There are endless opportunities and possibilities that come with enrolling at EEC TVET College.

How to enjoy a school holiday
…your future-self will thank you for?
It’s close, so close you can feel it…your school holiday - the anticipated
break! Sleeping in, no bedtime and having all day to enjoy more of what
you want for three weeks on end.
As much as you need the break, you also have a little voice telling you
how important your time is as you near your final school years. If that’s
you, reading this article may give you the ideas and tips on how to enjoy
your break from school, while making the best of your personal time.
Nadia Hearn - the founder of Get-Published, entrepreneur,
purpose-driven mentor and broadcast
producer and presenter, shares her suggested
activities that you can use for a memorable purposeful
holiday:
Become a local tourist
Create a holiday experience bucket list, have a look
at local experiences and historical landmarks in
your area - up to 50km from where you are living
and located in general. If you always wanted to see
a landmark or a historic place, take a local guided

tour. It could be a boat trip to Robben
Island, or the Cango Caves and Cradle of
Humankind etc.
Once you start looking, you may be surprised
what you’ll find in your area when
you search using Google and Wikipedia.
You can also find interesting historical
information recorded about your suburb
and immediate area.
Learning about your town’s origin can be fascinating; something you’ll
always retain and can share with others. You can look for memorial
sites, monuments and even statues and what they represent. There are
so many museums, some have old and new elements of technology,
others paper, books, cars, and other fun items you may be super excited
to see.
Discover hidden talents
On you bucket list be sure to add
a section on things you always felt
drawn to or perhaps are curious
about.
This is one of my favourites on my
own annual exploration list: discovering
new talents is super satisfying
and exciting, and can lead you towards
your future interest, career,
and life purpose.
Have a look at some of your
dreams too, like what it would be
like to sing, dance, paint, or horse
ride, sew and design your own
clothing, make jewelry, or make
things from different materials etc.
Then have a look at short courses -
local workshops or lessons.

You should also consider exploring online platforms like Udemy and
Domestika, where you get a variety of short online courses you can take
using any smart phone, also search here for ideas for your list. Once you
have a few ideas written down, research each and decide on one. From
my own experience, some of these courses are free and others cost up to
R350 on average, so it can be easy to make the mistake start a few at one
time.
Do be sure you push through
the entire experience, lesson,
workshop, and course – as that is
where the real benefit waits!
If you don’t complete it, you risk
experiencing emotions of failure
on something that was suppose
be a self-growth experience.
Understandably you may also find that you really dislike the actual thing
you choose, even if you never do it again, see it as a learning experience;
you have learnt new skills, and you learn more about yourself which will
be so useful in the future.
Sometimes we dream about things and don’t know the 1st thing about its
reality, over romanticise it and get disappointed. So, test out small workshops,
classes, and online courses before you invest loads of time, money
or perhaps your future on it.

Step out of your comfort zone
Finally, add to your list a section
for adventure; things that give your
nerves a little twitch. This doesn’t have
to be bungee jumping or jumping
from a plane, unless that is what you
are going for, then of course you may.
The point is to explore something that
pushes you out of your comfort zone
and adds a tad of adventure. You could take surf lessons, sandboarding,
go canoeing, snorkel, take a boat ride, go wall climbing, zip gliding,
or even ice skating for those who have never done that.
Is there something you want to
give a go, but fear is stopping
you? On the other side of fear
is a great experience waiting;
again, to know is so much better
than to wonder.
Pushing past your fear to explore
the unknown can bring
such wonderful energy into
your life and can inspire you to
explore and learn more! Use this school holiday to not only discover
and explore, but to invest in your own growth and development, while
you have the best time getting to know you!

Cellular
Agriculture
Another way to grow plants ?
There has been a lot of work done around meat free meat or slaughter
free meat which essentiallly means that meat can be grown in a ‘lab’.
However, the question now becomes if ‘plants’ such
as your popularly known food crops can also be
grown in the ‘lab’ and whether there is a ‘consideration’
for growing plants in the lab. Let us explore.
Let us just get the terminology spot-on:
‘Meat-free meat’ is plant-based products, made to
look like meat and have the same consistency as the
meat-product. It is perfect for vegans. It is available in any super-market.
‘Slaughter-free meat’ is lab-grown. In essence,
a sample of the animal tissue is taken and
grown in a ‘bio-reactor’. This is a chemical process
at the cellular level. The finished product is
meat. Another word is ‘fin-less fish’. Same as
above.
We have a term for plants as well: ‘harvest-free
plants’. The technology is the same as for slaughter-free meat or finless
fish. However, plants are different and there are some challenges.

After all, meat looks
like meat whether from
a cow, a pig or from a
lab. A ‘bean’ could be a
coffee bean, a red bean
and so on. The variety is
bigger.
Firstly, ‘lab’ grown
plants are possible
and the answer lies in
cellular agriculture. Cellular agriculture is a broad term for producing
agricultural products such as meat and dairy using biotechnology and
tissue engineering approaches.
However, this practice is seldomly seen in the development of food
plants (particulary for complex food plants such as grains or fruit)
because of the mere notion that it may not be as ‘urgent’ as producing
meat free meat. This is due to the fact that the production of meat free
meat is percieved as a way to curb the environmental effects and concerns
associated with livestock production. In fact, the environmental
impact of food plant production is lower than that of livestock production.
Yet, even though cellular agriculture is seldomly used in producing
food plants, there are some areas in the world that have looked into
this possibility.
Korea and China have
been able to grow Ginseng
using cellular agriculture.
In fact, the process itself
has been considered as
an established practice for
food supplement production.
Now, since it has been
established that there is a possibility for plants to be produced in the
‘lab’, what are some of the potential processes that can be involved in
producing lab grown ‘plants’.

Ginseng is one example to turn to. Ginseng produced from cellular agriculture
use mainly panax extracts for ginsenosides. Then in vitro culture
is introduced to provide fast and continuous access to bioactive panax
extracts.
There are vast differences amongst processes and extracts when exploring
the process in detail. Interestingly and contrary to lack of belief that
this process might be new, it is not. In
fact , Panax plant phytochemistry has
been investigated since the mid-nineteenth
century starting with mostly
P.ginseng.
It is clear that plants, particularly food
plants can be grown from the ‘lab’.
However, there is a need to know how
and for how long can we grow the food crops. Additionally, what are the
pro’s and con’s of growing food plants this way.
Interestingly, although the sense of ‘urgency’ around producing ‘lab’
grown plants is not there, there is some potential for further research.
This is because there might be a need for lab grown plants expecially if
one considers aspects such as food insecurity, natural resource scarcity
and climate change.

Meat-free meat and markets
We may wonder if we eat meat-free met at all. The market share in SA
may not be great, but maybe other parts of the world is far ahead?
It is hard to find numbers for SA so let us turn to the US where we may
also discover the world-wide trends. I think that is only fair to look at
trends as it goes right now.
The first thing to consider is a
change in life-style. More and more
people turn to being 100% vegan.
That removes a significant portion of
the meat-eating population.
Then we have the non-vegans who just cut down on their meat consumption.
This is sparked by a realization (perceived or otherwise) that
too much meat is not healthy and that plant-based food is a healthier
alternative.
This segment still likes the ‘taste’ of
meat, but not meat itself.
What we need to realise as well is that
this goes beyond meat. Eggs, milk and
other diary products are also exchanged
for plant-based products (soy milk, etc.).

All in all, we need to look at the
numbers.:
I found the information from various
sources, but specifically from here
and here.
Quote:
“SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The global plant-based
meat market size is projected to reach USD 24.8 billion by 2030, according
to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected
to expand at a CAGR of 19.3% from 2022 to 2030. Growing adoption of
vegan lifestyle and diet among health-conscious consumers in traditionally
meat-eating developed economies are expected to drive the market
over the forecast period.
Quote:
“Plant-based milk and dairy
Dollar sales for plant-based milk, the largest category in the
plant-based market, grew 4% and 33% in the past three years
to reach $2.6 billion. Plant-based milk, which now accounts for
16% of all retail milk dollar sales, is the growth engine of the
milk category, contributing $105 million in growth. Forty-two
percent of households purchase plant-based milk, and 76% of
plant-based milk buyers purchased it multiple times in 2021.
Certainly the demand for plant-based foods is there. Sixty-two percent
or 79 million U.S. households are now buying plant-based products, an
increase from 61% (77 million in 2020).
My prediction: if it is readily available in
PnP and Checkers and so on, it will take
off. Availability is critical as acceptance (I
think) is there. We all want to live better.
... and also protect nature!

The World of Icons
Icons – we see them and use them. At lest in a digital world. But…. Where
are they coming from? And do they evolve?
Here is a definition I found on Wiki: “in computer usage an icon, is a
graphic symbol that conveys its meaning through its pictorial resemblance
to a physical object”. That is fair enough.
If I want to save my work I click on the little floppy disk
icon (the 3,5” variant). Easy. If I want to discard something,
I move it to the bin.
I associate my action (save) with the icon, because that
is how I used to save things. But what if I have never
seen a floppy disk in my life (as a little 12-yer old)?
And the bin? If we do not really use paper, the bin icon does not make
sense.
Is it time for a rethink of the icons we use? If the
association between action and the graphical representation
is not there in the minds of the new generation,
then learning is getting difficult. It is easy for
‘oldies’. They saved their work on those small plast
things.
Look around. Do you buy a movie on a CD or just download it on your

smart phone? Maybe I don’t
even know what a CD is? So,
the CD icon is also out.
Let us just take it one step
further. If you have read Masiziba’s
article on lab-grown
food, we can also re-think
how it is packaged.
If we market it as ‘chicken- nuggets’
and it is really plant-based
(meat-free meat), then we still try
to associate the taste of ‘chicken’
with this new product. But … what
if the new people never have eaten
chicken? Then the ‘taste’ has
nothing to do with the packaging.
It gets worse if we look at game meat (mom and
dad killed and ate Bambi). So, if meat-free meat (or
slaughter-free meat) is the future, we need to get
away from associating a taste with a specific product.
Maybe we order ‘burger X7-34’ at MacD because
we like the taste. Whatever that taste can be?
Imagine a world where animals are not to be eaten?
And a world where plants are not grown in a field,
but the equivalent is coming from a factory?
What will the Christmas dinner look like?

and the interactive displays integrated with of a number of TV screens.
This concept is through the touch screen located at the entrance to
the center. Interactive display section has been created where visitors
are encouraged to use traditional touch screens to immerse themselves
in games and content around Science Technology Engineering
and Arts and Mathematics (STEAM).
Children are provided with the opportunity to play games to train
their analytical ability, improve their ability to solve puzzles and chal-

lenges. They are also challenged to explore more traditional content
style, such as exploration of subjects including how Artificial Intelligence
works, Machine Learning, how data transfers over networks
etc.
Science Exploration
While traditional science teaching has complex challenges around
logistics, safety and costs. VR has none of these limitations. Experiments
are done as often as needed with no physical costs of
materials or safety concerns. Students can learn about physics and
chemistry, life science etc. in a safe environment. Within VR learning
occurs without any distract but with full immersion. Learning and understanding
mathematics becomes easier and more fun inside of VR
due to the nature of games and how they are designed.
This is designed to make learning and exploration real fun especially
for little ones. Wide learning opportunities exist through this exhibition,
children have many prospects to learn on, e.g. google earth
exploration experience.
With Google Earth VR, children
can travel to almost
any place in the world. They
can fly all over the world and
explore any city, any monument
and landmark anywhere
in the world.The exhibition
has two different types
of humanoids the small one
(called Sanbot Max and the
Bigger one called Pepper).
The Sanbot Max robot was designed to be implemented into numerous
kinds of business scenarios, providing customers and staff
members with intelligent and efficient services.
Pepper is a semi-humanoid robot, which means that a human has
to control it. It is designed with the ability to read emotions. Pepper
recognizes faces and basic human emotion.

Drones and Mirror Maze
Drones Pilots at the Clubhouse
Did you know that the Clubhouse has three certified
drone pilots?
They also have 10 DJI Tell drones that they will
used for their drone course.
They are currently putting together content for
the said course.
In addition, the Clubhouse offers programmes
such as Teach Fundamentals of drones, real-life
applications of drones: namely surveillance using
object identification and tracking to videography for commercials and
other media use.
This includes python programming that covers drone automation.

Mirror Maze Exhibit
A mirror is an object that reflects an image. Light that bounces off a
mirror will show an image of whatever is in front of it, when focused
through the lens of the eye or a camera.
Mirrors reverse the direction of the image in an equal yet opposite
angle from which the light shines upon it. This allows the viewer to
see themselves or objects behind them, or even objects that are at
an angle from them but out of their field of view, such as around a
corner.

A maze is a path or collection of paths, typically from an entrance
to a goal. The word is used to refer both to branching tour puzzles
through which the solver must find a route, and to simpler
non-branching patterns that lead unambiguously through a convoluted
layout to a goal. The pathways and walls in a maze are typically
fixed, but puzzles in which the walls and paths can change during
the game are also categorised as mazes or tour puzzles
Mirror Maze
The mirror maze itself is a pattern, combining several characteristics
of geometric patterns: repetition, symmetry and tessellation using
repeated equilateral triangles. These triangles fit together without
any gaps or overlaps, creating a tessellation. Mirrored surfaces all
around reflect the pattern so that it repeats and appears infinite.

NFTs – the new way
Non-fungible Tokens. Sounds too complicated. So, what is it really.
This ‘fungible’ just means – unique. It is one of a kind. And it is a set of
files that can be installed on your cell (or PC for that matter). Imagine a
GIF? Something bigger and better and smarter. But that is sort of it.
I have been inspired by an article here.
We know it is a unique thing. It is a digital artwork and although many
can view the NFT, there can only be one owner of this particular one.
Can we compare it to anything?
We can indeed. Look at Mona
Lisa. There is only one (and it is
in Paris). But there can be many
copies (lithographs) but still –
one owner only.
Here I am – designing a fantastic
piece of art. I put it up for
sale (we get to that) and someone buys it. I release the files and get the
money.
How simple is that? It is that simple really.

As much as Mona Lisa
can be sold at auction, so
can an NFT.
Maybe I don’t get money
into my bank account in
South Africa, but hey- I
got a deposit in bitcoins.
Let us look at the details:
First of all you need to have an electronic ‘wallet. That is easy to create.
There are plenty of wallets to choose from and all have unique features.
But what you can do is to buy a currency
(bitcoins) from a credit card. Now you have
‘money’ in the wallet.
Let us imagine I am a designer. I design
something, consisting of artwork, music,
video and so on. Now where to sell it? The
biggest market place is opensea.io.
Find what you would like to buy, bid on it. And become the owner.
And here is the trick: when you get tired of a certain NFT, go and sell it.
As you could sell Mona Lisa (if you could be the owner).
The ‘owner’ of an NFT can indeed be proud. There is only one out there
and it is on my cell!
Is there more to it? Well, yes. A lot more. But it does involve both the
definitions of blockchain and cryptocurrency.
So, if you are up to it you can start creating
NFTs – it is simple really.
Get the design done and get the wallet. You
could be a new trend.

Fusion is nearly here
This is all inspired from an article I found here and from Wiki here
The easy facts first: we know nuclear technology. That is where we collide atoms
(the heavy ones like Plutonium) and causing them to ‘split’. That creates a lot of
energy (heat) which we can turn into steam and power a turbine that will generate
electricity. This is fission technology.
The ‘holy grail’ is fusion technology:
we collide two lightweight
atoms (helium) and
that will create energy that
can be used like above.
Fusion is many times more
energy-rich that fission
technology so that is where it
would be fun to go. There are no radio-active waste products. It is the greenest
we can ever go.
However, to keep a fission reaction going is comparable simple. Fusion is something
else. It requires a high temperature (a million degrees) and pressure. It will
melt anything it touches. That means, the ‘core’ will have to be a plasma-blob
floating in vacuum and held together via magnets.
That has been the limiting factor ever since we started tinkering with fusion
technology. And that goes back to the 1930’s.

So, what has changed? The bigger
change is that in a small lab experiment
in Culham (see pic) it has been
possible to keep a plasma-blob together
for five seconds. Wow. Why is
it significant? Because it shows that it
can be sustained over a longer period
of time. Five seconds in physics is
just as good as 5 years.
In comes the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, better
known as ITER.
ITER is a cooperation among thirty-five countries,
which is run by seven main members — China, the
United States, the European Union, Russia, India, Japan
and South Korea and some 4,500 companies with
15,000 employees from all over the globe.
But will it produce electricity? Is this it?
This is a technology demonstrator.
It will prove that commercial
and sustainable fusion technology
can be used in generating
electricity. We may ask ourselves
what the price could be for such a
demonstrator.
It is a staggering $25 billion! Just
to prove a point (and prove that
the technology employed will do
the trick). The total cost might
even go to $65 billion
So it must be massive?

ITER is like nothing we have ever seen before. It is probably the biggest
engineering task ever.
Here is a little pointer (in
my mind at least): When
technology assembly goes
from people in lab-coats to
people in dirty jeans, hardhats
and reflector vests, we
know it is now a matter of
engineering and not science
anymore. It can and will be
achieved. Engineers are rather
good at that part. When concrete is poured and cables pulled, we are
there. It might still be some years, but it will happen.
Wiki: The vacuum vessel is the central part of the ITER machine: a double-walled
steel container in which the plasma is contained by means of
magnetic fields.
Each of the nine torus-shaped sectors will
weigh approximately 500 tons for a total
weight of 5,000 tons. When all the shielding
and port structures are included, this
adds up to a total of 5,116 tonnes.
Its external diameter will measure 19.4

metres, Once assembled, the whole
structure will be 11.3 metres high.
The primary function of the vacuum
vessel is to provide a hermetically
sealed plasma container. Its main
components are the main vessel, the
port structures and the supporting
system.
The vacuum vessel has a total of 44 openings that are known as ports –
18 upper, 17 equatorial, and 9 lower ports – that will be used for remote
handling operations, diagnostic systems, neutral beam injections and
vacuum pumping.
Vacuum pumping will be done before the start of fusion reactions to
create the necessary low density environment, which is about one million
times lower than the density of air.
The magnet system used in the ITER tokamak will be the largest superconducting
magnet system ever built.
The ITER cryostat is a large
3,850-tonne stainless steel structure
surrounding the vacuum vessel and
the superconducting magnets, with
the purpose of providing a super-cool
vacuum environment.
In essence: we pour in a lot of energy and we harvest even more. ITER
will prove that it is economical.
And let it be said: Earth is running out of energy. This might be the only
option available to us.

Artemis – return to the Moon
This is now serious stuff. We are going back to the moon. We were there
last in 1972. That is like 50 years back in time. All from Wiki.
NASA has identified the Artemis programme.
This is very different to the old Apollo missions.
Here we are talking about a permanent presence,
not just a quick trip, walking around for a
few hours, taking in the landscape and back to
Earth.
Wiki says: “NASA’s stated short-term goal for
the program is landing the first woman and first
person of color on the Moon; mid-term objectives include establishing an
international expedition team, and a sustainable human presence on the
Moon. Long-term objectives for Artemis are laying the foundations for
the extraction of lunar resources, and eventually making crewed missions
to Mars and beyond feasible”.
The first 5 Artemis missions are planned:
Artemis I (2022) will be an uncrewed test of the SLS and Orion, and is
the first test flight for both craft. The goal of the Artemis I mission will be
to place Orion into a lunar orbit, and then return it to Earth.

Artemis II (2024) will be the first
crewed test flight of SLS and the Orion
spacecraft. The four crew members
will perform extensive testing
in Earth orbit and Orion will then be
boosted into a free-return trajectory
around the Moon, which will return
Orion back to Earth for re-entry and
splashdown.
Artemis III (2025) will be a crewed
lunar landing. This includes the lunar
landing module and all that goes
with it.
Artemis IV (2026) is a crewed mission to the Lunar Gateway station in
moon orbit.
Artemis V through Artemis VIII and
beyond are proposed to land astronauts
on the lunar surface, where
they will take advantage of increasing
amounts of infrastructure that are to
be landed by support missions. These
will include habitats, rovers, scientific
instruments, and resource extraction
equipment.
Support missions include robotic landers, delivery of Gateway modules,
Gateway logistics, delivery of the HLS, and delivery of elements of the
Moon base. Most of these missions are executed under NASA contracts
to commercial providers.
The bigger modules are the Human Landing System (HLS) and the
Gateway systems. The Gateway is an in-development mini-space station
in lunar orbit intended to serve as a solar-powered communication hub,
science laboratory, short-term habitation module, and holding area for
rovers and other robots.

NASA is the project manager and is shopping modules and technologies
from a host of companies. Too many to name, but let us just give all a
feel for the magnitude of it.
Appreciate the contractual terms for this. And imagine the payment term
sheet.
Of course we see SpaceX and Blue Origin and Boeing and so on. But look
at these companies:
Intuitive Machines, LLC is a private American
company headquartered in Houston, Texas.
Intuitive Machines is completing its lunar program
which will provide lunar surface access,
lunar orbit delivery, and communications at lunar
distance
Astrobotic Technology is an American privately
held company that is developing space robotics
technology for lunar and planetary missions.
Masten Space Systems is an aerospace
manufacturer startup company in Mojave,
California that is developing a line of vertical
takeoff, vertical landing (VTVL) rockets,
initially for uncrewed research sub-orbital

spaceflights and eventually intended to support robotic orbital spaceflight
launches.
ispace Inc. is a private Japanese company
developing robotic spacecraft technologies
to build landers and rovers to
compete for both transportation and
exploration mission contracts from space
agencies and private industry.
Toyota is developing a lunar cruiser, Magna Steyr is in on the launch
system together with ESAB from Sweden.
The European Service Module (ESM) is the service module component
of the Orion spacecraft, serving as its primary power and propulsion
component until it is discarded at the end of each mission.
The Lunar space station will be two modules: a
propulsion module and a habitat for the crew.
The crew space will be time-limited and really
only as a relay station for the actual moon
base.
Conclusion: As much as we look forward to a
Mars base, the way to go about it might just
be to establish a moon-base. Flying off to Mars
and establishing a Mars space station is known
technology.
That will then feed the actual Mars colony.
In January 2013, NASA announced
that the European Space Agency
(ESA) will contribute the service
module for Artemis 1, based on the
ESA’s Automated Transfer Vehicle
(ATV). After approval of the first
module, the ESA will provide the
ESMs from Artemis 2 to Artemis 6

Understanding Accounting Industry Bodies
An accounting industry body, also known as a professional accounting
organization (PAO), is an association of accountants in a specific area of
jurisdiction, e.g., Institute for Chartered Accountants of Namibia, Lesotho
Institute of Accountants, Eswatini Institute of Accountants, etc. Usually, a
person needs to be a member of such an association in order to be recognized
as an accountant in that particular jurisdiction.
In numerous cases, under a contractual
agreement between industry bodies, a
person can simultaneously be a member
of more than one accounting body.
This then allows you to migrate to
other countries and still be employed
as an accountant.
The goal of a PAO is to produce and maintain the competency of professional
accountants by providing examinations and ongoing accountancy
development and training.
Becoming a member of the right accounting body
Each accounting body produces a set of accountants with specific skills
and expertise. Therefore, when choosing a professional accounting body,
you should consider various things including your personality and what
you enjoy doing.

A few personalities are:
Growth
If you enjoy the growth of a business by applying
ethical business practices and creating value for
the business and its shareholders, then bodies
like the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants
(SAICA), the South African Institute of Tax Practitioners (SAIT),
and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) are
perfect for you!
Raising red flags
In some cases, businesses/employees
disregard ethical business practices in an
attempt to easily increase the value of the
business. If you are a member of the Institute
of Internal Auditors South Africa (IIA
SA) or the Institute of Risk Management
South Africa (IRMSA), then you will be the person responsible for identifying
bad business practices and raising red flags.
Giving assurance
A business sometimes borrows money from a
bank to finance its activities, and the bank, before
giving out the loan, will require proof that
the business will be able to repay the loan as per
their agreement. Members of the Independent
Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA) are hired to perform an external
audit for the business and provide assurance (whether the business will
or will not be able to repay) to the bank.
Conclusion
Knowing the different industry bodies and the personalities associated
with its members is a necessity for choosing a career that you will enjoy.
However, you need to meet each body’s specific requirements for membership.

Music Scene During Winter
The winter season is upon us and as we cozy up and try keeping warm
indoors, the learners are also home for winter holidays. But for most
artists and musicians it is a different story
For a lot of musicians and artist winter just means another season to
record new music in preparation for summer. Right now is the right time
to promote and to come up with strategies on how to take over when
summer comes. Let us face it: summer is the time!
Though the weather may be changing it does not really mean the same
for gigs/shows. A lot of events are still going on and most of them are
using the winter theme to attract audiences.
We have themes such as winter warm ups, bonfires and indoor vibes

and much more. Clubs
are still operating as
usual and they are
taking advantage of the
fact that it is warmer
indoors. Of course this
puts outdoor events
at a disadvantage and
that is why most artists
are using this time to
finalize their upcoming
(summer) projects
We have some outdoor events that are theme based (Youth month,
Pride Month etc). These events can really only be outdoor, hence most
of them happen during the day when the weather is a bit warmer.
That said, what I have also noticed about
the Mzansi audience is that as long as it
is a good vibe with good entertainment,
they stick it out and still go out in this
cold weather. Yes, there are fewer outdoor
events, and most are day-time events, but
hey, we are still party-goers.
It might just also be the time to discover
different events. So, my usual gig may not
be around, but there could be a drummer
festival going? Or Spanish Dance classes? Or something completely
different!
Remember, there are a
lot of things going on
– even if it is cold out
there.

We try to stay ‘green’ this month. There are a few important things going
on. A lot of this is inspired by Wiki.
exactly what this will tell us. In spades nogal.
Earth Overshoot Day is
the calculated illustrative
calendar date on which
humanity’s resource
consumption for the year
exceeds Earth’s capacity
to regenerate those
resources that year. This
is easy to grasp. If we
consume more than
Earth can generate, there
is a sustainability problem
coming. And that is
The concept of Earth Overshoot Day was first conceived by Andrew
Simms of the UK think tank New Economics Foundation, which partnered
with Global Footprint Network in 2006 to launch the first global
Earth Overshoot Day campaign.
The calculated date for 2022 is 28 July. Look at this. We consume the
generated resources for the year in a bit more than half the year. Something
has to give.

There are ‘positive’ signs. The Covid lock-down set the ‘clock’ back with
some weeks. It is a sign that we can do something.
We need to look at our consumption.
Van Mahotsav is a ‘Forest festival’.
It is an annual one-week tree-planting
festival in India which is celebrated in
the first week of July.
It was organized by M.S. Randhawa in
July 1947. Randhawa had been inspired
by ideas of a forest week in various
countries.
Wiki says: “By encouraging Indians to support tree planting and tending,
festival organizers hope to create more forests in the country.
It would provide alternative fuels,
increase production of food
resources, create shelter-belts
around fields to increase productivity,
provide food and shade for
cattle, offer shade and decorative
landscapes, reduce drought, and
help to prevent soil erosion.
The first week of July is just the right time for planting trees in most
parts of India since it coincides with the monsoon.

We need writers!
Hola MaHigh-School is YOUR magazine. That is why we
would love to see students writing for students about student
life and everything of importance to a student in any
grade10-12 across the country.
What is required? That is easy:
You have to be in grade 10-12 -
somewhere
Impeccable in your preferred language-and
that might not be English.
We try to be more than just
English.
Passionate about your topic of
choice - no dull articles here.
Do you get anything out of it?
Well, not money, sorrry. BUT
if we publish your articles you will
have:
Your bio in a commercial magazine
A photo of yourself
You can put it all on your CV
you can use us as a reference

Is it important?
YES it is.
Look what Rofhiwa said:
My name is Rofhiwa and I love

Next Time...
Next time will be where we look at Women’s
Month. We may ask outselves if it is important,
but if we look at GBV and so on, we can see that
this is no small matter.
We all have to do something. That is where we
have suggestions.
Female role models are important and that is
where we look to our writers to see what they
have to say about that.
Just to round it off: what about famous women?
that will be there!
There are plenty of things going in the science
calendar. Let us see what we come up with.
... and of course: movies, music and perhaps a
conspiracy ... if I can find one.
Until next time!
