YOU LOVE YOUR MUSIC – NOW YOU CAN SEE WHY!

Music is a powerful tool for teenagers to navigate the complexities of growing up. It provides an outlet for expression, connection, and identity.

With the advent of digital platforms, music is more accessible than ever. This allows teens to explore a vast array of genres and artists easily. This fosters a deeper appreciation and connection with music.

During adolescence which is pretty intense, music helps teens feel understood and less alone.

WHAT IS IT? IT IS THE ACT OF USING SOMEONE ELSE’S WORK, ART, IDEAS, OR WRITING WITHOUT PERMISSION OR ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND PRESENTING THEM AS ONE’S OWN.

PLAGiARiSM WHY IS PLAGIARISM BAD?

Plagiarism is essentially a form of theft and dishonesty. It takes credit for someone else’s effort and intellectual property.

When students plagiarise, they miss out on the learning process. No critical thinking takes place.

It can lead to unfair academic advantages and devalues the efforts of those who do their own work.

In the professional world, plagiarism can damage reputations, lead to job losses, and harm professional relationships.

It disrespects and devalues the work of the original creators and they may lose compensation for their original work.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY IS A PANDEMIC

Because it is becoming increasingly easy to plagiarise, academic dishonesty is a pandemic!

Internationally, there are major plans in the works, to curb it as much as possible.

With the rise of AI-generated content, schools are implementing AI detection tools that can specifically identify text produced by generative AI models.

Schools and educational institutions are using a variety of advanced plagiarism detection software.

Turnitin, Grammarly and Unicheck are the most commonly used.

Your work or THE PREVENTATIVE MEASURE mine?

IS THE BEST WAY TO STOP IT.

Schools need to update their academic policies and teach their learners clear definitions as well as consequences of plagiarism and academic misconduct.

Learners need to know from a young age what is acceptable and what is not!

Learners need to know the serious consequences of ‘stealing’ academic ideas.

Schools need to foster an environment that values original research and critical thinking. This will in turn discourage the use or academic dishonesty.

8 August 2024

Changing assessment methods, incorporating more oral exams, and project-based assessments will make it harder for learners to engage in plagiarism.

Teachers also need to be trained to recognise plagiarism trends and assist learners to maintain integrity in their academic pursuits.

SELECTION GIRAFFES

Natural selection is often referred to as ‘survival of the fittest’.

Every time an animal or plant reproduces, there are miniscule differences in the genes that make it different to its parents.

Sometimes these changes can make the offspring more resilient and stronger than its parents.

The evolution of giraffes’ long necks is a classic example of natural selection.

Here’s how natural selection played a role in this process: Within ancestral giraffe populations, there was a variation in neck length.

Some giraffes had slightly longer necks, while others had shorter ones.

Giraffes with longer necks had an advantage in getting food.

They could reach the higher branches of trees that shorter-necked giraffes could not. During times of food scarcity the longer-necked giraffes were more likely to survive.

The surviving longer-necked giraffes reproduced. Their offspring inherited their parents’ traits, including neck length.

Over time this would become common.

Male giraffes engage in ‘necking’ battles, where they use their necks as weapons to fight for females.

The males with the stronger necks were most likely to win and reproduce.

So, over many generations, the process of natural selection led to the modern giraffe, with his exceptionally long neck.

NATURAL SELECTION AND MEDICINE Natural selection continues to play a role in shaping human health and disease dynamics.

The overuse and possible misuse of antibiotics have led to the evolution of certain antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Bacteria that possess resistance genes survive and multiply, whereas the susceptible bacteria are killed off by antibiotics, leading to a population of resistant strains. Only the resistant bacteria survive to replicate!

Rooibos – UNIQUE TO SOUTH AFRICA This pretty plant, Aspalathus Linearis a.k.a.

Rooibos, is exclusively grown in the Western Cape region of South Africa and is found only in the Cederberg Mountains and surrounding areas.

The unique microclimate, soil conditions and altitude of this region make it the perfect place for the Rooibos shrub.

Internationally, South Africa is the sole producer of Rooibos tea, and it’s protected as a geographical indication, which means only tea produced in this specific region can be labelled as Rooibos.

As other countries have caught on to the health benefits of drinking the tea made from the dried leaves, they have tried and failed to grow this shrub.

It is unique to South Africa.

WHY IS IT SO POPULAR? • It’s naturally caffeinefree, so does not have the stimulating effects of coffee.

• Rooibos tea can have a soothing effect. It contains antioxidants like aspalathin and quercetin, which reduce inflammation and fight stress.

Research shows that it can lower cortisol levels which in turn lowers stress.

• Rooibos tea can be enjoyed hot or cold.

Sometimes it is infused with fruit or honey flavours.

• Some studies suggest that Rooibos tea may help improve heart health, support digestion, and promote skin

health due to its antioxidant content.

• IT IS TASTY WITH ITS UNIQUE, SLIGHTLY SWEET AND NUTTY FLAVOUR.

BE BE YOUR YOUR OWN OWN BOSS! BOSS! Many young people want to start their own business, utilizing a special skill they may have, or offering a service that is unique. It requires some serious research into the type of business, plus a confidence in the skills set that will be used or sold. It also requires a certain amount of capital to start the business – either in the form of savings or from a small start-up loan.

THE SOLE PROPRIOTOR

If you are the only person involved in the busines

s – YOU ARE THE BUSINESS and are referred to as the sole proprietor.

This is the oldest form of business ownersh ip and is owned and managed by a person with entrepreneurial skills.

A sole proprietor owns, works and man s the business alone. These businesses are usually small and often include serviceage trad hairdressers and very small retail stores likees such as IT, plumbers, electricians, bakeries, dry cleaners and market stalls.

THE ADVANTAGES The owner gets ALL the profits.

The better the business is run, the higher the profit.

All decision making is done by the owner which gives them the freedom to make any decisions and implement them immediately.

The business owner will be incentivised to work harder as he is working for himself.

The business management is better and it is run by the owner.

THE DISADVANTAGES The owner takes on all the running responsibilities on their own. If the owner dies – or becomes ill – it can mean the end of the business.

The owner is personally responsible for all company debts.

If the owner runs up debts, his personal belongings will be sold to pay those debts.

The owner MUST have enough knowledge and expertise or the business may fail.

BASIC FIRST AID Basic first aid knowledge is crucial for anyone to handle an emergency effectively. Here are some very basic first aid rules if you find yourself in a crisis.

STAY CALM and ASSESS THE SITUATION. If it is serious – CALL FOR HELP.

BLEEDING CONTROL

If you can, apply direct pressure to the wound with a clean cloth or bandage. If it is serious and you can’t stem the bleeding, call for help.

COOL THE BURN WITH RUNNING WATER FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES AND THEN COVER THE BURN WITH A CLEAN BANDAGE OR CLOTH.

SNAKE BITE

Keep the victim calm and reduce movement (moving increases the spread of venom). Keep the bite site below heart level. Do not attempt to suck out venom! Any details about the snake can help doctors assess which anti-venom to administer.

EPILEPTIC EPISODE

Make sure the person is on the floor. Turn them on their side – this helps keep airways open and prevents choking. Support their head and if they are convulsing badly, place something under their head to prevent injury. Don’t put anything in their mouth.

CHOKING

Get the person to cough if they can. Back blows with a flat hand between the shoulder blades should dislodge an object. If they are able to lift their arms above their head this can sometime open the airways and stop the choking.

LEARN HOW

TO LEARN Your brain is designed to learn. When you were born your brain had all its nerve cells or neurons, but they were not all connected to each other.

Over time with learning skills, you have trained your brain to connect these neurons. The more you use them the stronger they become.

We learn stuff every day – but some people struggle to learn more than others – at school especially.

It is not necessarily that the brain is slow or the work is difficult – it is just that the learning pattern or method could need improving.

EVALUATE YOUR OWN LEARNING AND STUDY SKILLS

BY DOING THE TEST. Perhaps with a few small changes you will find yourself with improved grades!
