Everything happening inside IS-Ruhr.

Christmas in EY and PY Jonas Gesing As the year is coming to an end, the favorite holiday of some has arrived: Christmas. During December, EY and PY children joined multiple events and the Christmas mood has reached IS Ruhr as well.

On the 2nd of December, the students decorated the Christmas tree. In EY children created ornaments to hang on the tree with the help of students from 10th Grade. Colorful and creative decorations were made and their tree truly looks unique. In PY, children decorated the Christmas tree as well. They were given time to create tree decorations to have an impressive tree too!

On the 5th of December EY2 and EY3 left their slippers out in the EY center, hoping Nikolaus might visit overnight. On the morning of the 6th, all children were amazed when they found chocolate and a puzzle in their shoes. To round things off, a breakfast buffet was held together with the parents.

The students sang jingle bells and everyone shared delicious food with one another.

To spread the joy, children in EY and PY created Christmas cards to give to elderly in Essen, who would spend Christmas alone otherwise. Their small texts included in the cards will make somebody happy this Christmas, who does not have family or friends there to visit them. The project within our school was organized by Ms. Marie and was initiated by the Deutsche Rote Kreuz.

SY Christmas Celebration Sreeja Prasanna Kumar, Milan Zinflou After a long year, it is finally the time to spend time with our friends and family, it's Christmas! For Christmas, the Student Council and our wonderful teachers organized a bunch of events including the Christmas market, Kinder Helfen Kindern, and the EY Christmas tree decorations.

Another year of our school community donating to “Kinder Helfen Kinder”, a charity organization that helps children in eastern Europe by giving them gift boxes. The boxes could contain toys, school supplies, hygiene products, and winter accessories, but shouldn't have war toys, toys for children under 3, electronic toys, glass, porcelain, or food. The SY donated 67 boxes that were picked up on the 23rd of November.

Christmas is rapidly approaching, and it would not be a real celebration without a decorated Christmas tree! Pompoms, string, yarn, and some popsicle sticks might sound like something you need for an Arts collage. But not for Ms. Cristel who taught grade 10 students how to make some brilliant ornaments, like stars made of yarn and popsicle sticks; pompoms glued onto nutmegs; and bead-sewn strings tied to make shapes. The grade 10 student showed EY students what they learned by guiding them to make cute decorations themselves. At the end of the day, the EY Christmas tree shone brightly with some fantastic handmade ornaments made with love and effort.

On Friday, December 16th, the SY hosted a Christmas market to raise money for future events. Different classes brought different foods and drinks, such as hot chocolate, Kinderpunsch, crepes, waffles, and other sweets. The Christmas market was for the entire school to visit, including parents and visitors. There were multiple games to play, such as “Ring the Reindeer”, where you had to throw rings at a person wearing reindeer horns and try to get the rings to hang to the horns, or “Picture with Santa”, where a student dressed up as Santa, and people got to shoot photos with him.

Our community came up with wonderful ways to celebrate Christmas; one, showing empathy by helping the needy by donating gifts; two, giving assistance to someone by helping students make wonderful ornaments; and three, spreading joy by selling delicious items at the Christmas Market. As a result of this, people’s faces were filled with smiles.

Gloabl tradition and celebrations.

Nikolaus Mia Mbalisike Nikolaus Day is a short celebration that happens annually on the 6th of December in Germany. On the day before, children all over Germany polish their shoes neatly and go to sleep looking forward to the morning.

When they wake they run to their shoes to find chocolate, orange, and maybe even some gummy bears and toys in them. This short gleeful event is not spread wide

Nikolaus and Santa

because many people don’t know the difference between Nikolaus and Santa. In fact, over time many people forget that there were two different people in the first place.

Nikolaus was a generous bishop that lived in Myra, now Türkiye. He was a saint who did many good deeds throughout his life, one of his most notable deeds, giving three poor sisters pieces of gold for three nights to save them from certain prostitution and give them the opportunity to marry instead.

Painting of Nikolaus

This deed defines his appearance a lot since he is commonly drawn with three gold balls, which might represent the gold nuggets he granted the sisters. Even though Santa could be twins from their rougher description (man with a white beard, dressed in red, gives gifts in December) they are vastly different. While Santa is known for being a cordial, chubby guy with a big sack full of presents, Nikolaus is a tall and slender man with bishop's attire, which is kind, but more distant. Either way, both of them are quite generous and make it possible for the Christian December holidays to exist.

New Year’s Eve around the Globe Mia Mbalisike New Year’s Eve is a global celebration that, as its name suggests, celebrates the new year. There are many things that many countries share about this, such as fireworks and the reason for the celebration. Even if some things are harmonious, there are different traditions around the world, as different cultures think differently about celebrations.

In Germany, as many readers may know, New Year’s Eve is more commonly referred to as ‘Silvester’. Oftentimes people eat raclette, a traditional dish that is usually based on cheese, but accompanied by anything your heart desires.

Millions of visitors from all around come to Berlin annually to celebrate Silvester. Traditionally they gather at the biggest squares like the Brandenburg Gate and celebrate together. They say “Guten Rutsch”, which wishes for people to Typical Raclette

‘slide well’ into the new year.

Mexico calls New Year’s Eve ‘Nochevieja’, which means ‘old night’ since it is saying goodbye to the old year. Food and community are valued on Nochevieja, which is why people often hold large dinners with various dishes such as Ensalada de Noche Buena, and tamales, as well as Buñuelos, which are served on a ceramic dish that will be smashed after the sweets were enjoyed.

Nochevieja also calls for new pants, which symbols vary in their color. Would you like yellow for happiness and prosperity, red for love and passion, green for health and well-being, pink for Mexican Tamales

The Philippines also have a big meal, “Media Noche”, which is held at midnight. The food being consumed has different meanings and effects. Long noodles bring a healthy and prolonged life, sticky food holds onto good fortune, and greens guide to money, but chicken or fish are avoided, as they have to scavenge and peck for food and are therefore said to bring poverty. 12 circular fruits combined with polka dot couture may just bring you extra money, which is why it is traditionally worn and displayed. When the clock hits 12, windows and doors are opened to let in good luck, while young children are encouraged to jump high in order to grow taller.

Masquerade parties and the nightlife scene are a big part of the Nigerian New Year.

People are dressed with human or animal features being specifically highlighted.

High-energy dances are performed to bring good luck and cheerfulness, as well as expel evil energy out of life. Offrima, a very popular masquerade party, is known for the performers dressing up fish-like and presenting tribal dances. The dancers do not take off their costumes, to avoid becoming vulnerable to negativity. Other than parties, religion is very significant too. Many people go to the church or mosque for intense prayer before the new year starts. Another tradition is children going around from house to house to wish everyone in their community a happy New Year.

Is a Blackout in Germany realistic?

Jonas Gesing Although power failures in Germany are common, they usually only last a short time and don’t significantly impact the population. A traffic light not working or houses being out of power for a couple of minutes are effects of these short power failures. However, Germany and other European countries have become increasingly concerned about a blackout. Is a blackout a real threat or only ​ scaremongering?

A blackout is understood as a supply breakdown across an entire region or country.

It could be caused by a natural disaster, such as flooding or a strong storm, which damages the power lines. Since global warming increases the chances of such natural disasters, the threat of a blackout caused by them has increased. However, the German government is more concerned about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which caused gas prices to increase. Consequently, more people try to heat using electricity, through using portable heaters, instead of using their gas heating. This could lead to a blackout because too much electricity is used by the population simultaneously and too little electricity is put into the system.

Germany's power grid

THE_ISSUE - December 2022

Page 11

The German Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection) led by Robert Habeck (a politician from Die Grünen) conducted a series of ‘stress tests’ to investigate the possibility of a blackout in Germany.

Although the tests showed that if certain scenarios were going to happen Germany’s power supply might be under threat, experts say a complete blackout is very unlikely, since the scenarios themselves are unlikely as well. It is important to note that Germany’s electricity supply is one of the safest in Europe. Even in the case of an extreme situation, network operators still have plenty of options, for example, they could activate reserve power plants.

Furthermore, Europe’s electricity supply systems are connected; therefore, if one country lacks electricity others can help.

Nevertheless, it is important to prepare for extreme situations by having enough water and food at home to survive a couple of days.

UNICEF Charlotte Coßmann Around the globe there still is poverty, lack of education, child mortality, no gender equality, etc. UNICEF, though, is an organization that aspires to save lives, especially children’s, and is working towards addressing these problems. The acronym UNICEF stands for “United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund”.

UNICEF’s headquarter is located in New York, America, but they work with partners from around the globe and are available in over 190 countries. Their goal is to expand access to services that protect all children which includes defending their rights, helping them fulfill their potential, and getting them safely from their childhood through their adolescence.

UNICEF works towards a lot of problems children are facing globally. They helped reduce child mortality. Children’s deaths

UNICEF's logo on a flag

have been reduced since 1990 from 1 in 11 children dying before the age of 5 to 1 in 27 in 2020. However, it is still a problem.

13,800 children under the age of 5 died daily in 2020. The most affected areas were Sub-Saharan Africa and Central and Southern Asia. The most common causes that result in children’s deaths are infectious diseases, pre-term birth, birth asphyxia, and trauma. Nutrition-related factors contribute to about 45% of deaths.

Access to skilled delivery at birth, postnatal care, sufficient nutrition, and vaccinations can save numerous lives.

Furthermore, in 147 countries, UNICEF works to provide quality education. Over 600 million children and adolescents globally cannot attain minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics, even after ⅔ of them attend school. Due to Covid-19, the education system was interrupted. Economic fragility, political instability, conflict, or natural disasters are all factors that contribute to the lack of education; although, poverty remains one of the largest causes. In some countries, the educational opportunities for girls remain limited. Without education, children will face in their future barriers to employment. By 2030, UNICEF wants quality education for all children. This means working towards including children who are not in school because of gender, disabilities, poverty, and ethnicity. They want to expand support during a child’s learning journey. UNICEF also wants to provide secure learning environments due to natural disasters.

UNICEF aims for gender equality. Gender equality is essential to ensure that women, men, girls, and boys can enjoy the same rights, resources, opportunities, and protections. In schools, many girls receive less support compared to boys. Worldwide, nearly 1 in 4 girls between the ages of 15 and 19 are neither employed nor in education or training compared to 1 in 10 boys. Gender differences start out small during childhood, and in secondary school, girls tend to score higher when it comes to reading, but during adolescence, the girl’s well-being gets neglected. In some countries, girls are cut off from the information and supplies they need to stay healthy and safe. Gender inequality can also turn violent. Adolescent girls face the highest risk of gender-based violence; 1 in 100 girls between 15 and 19 have experienced forced intercourse. Also, hundreds of millions of girls worldwide are forced into child marriage. To accelerate gender equality, UNICEF builds partnerships across the globe, such as in national health sectors, to support the professionalization of the mostly female community health workforce.

UNICEF invests, especially for adolescent girls, in skills building to further their economic empowerment and work on assistive technologies for girls with disabilities.

DJI O3 Air Unit Luke O'Hora What is it?

The new DJI O3 air unit is a camera specifically designed for FPV drone pilots.

FPV stands for ‘first person view’ and is mostly used by drone pilots so that they can see where the drone is in real time even if their drone is kilometers away. Most pilots use a set of FPV goggles to see what their air unit (camera on drone) is showing them.

Now, what is so special about the DJI air unit? It is the newest and most advanced FPV air unit when paired with the new DJI DJI O3 Air Unit

goggles 2.

What kind of performance does it bring?

The O3 air unit has quite a few new features, as the name suggests it uses the new ocusync 3 which allows for a 4k 60FPS video transmission with a range of up to 10 km and a 30ms delay! The unit allows you to film in different kinds of views, the “ultra-wide” view which is similar to GoPro’s superview, the “wide” view, and the “normal” view. It even has built-in rocksteady, which allows for very smooth footage.

DJI Goggles 2

THE_ISSUE - December 2022

Page 15

Will it replace GoPro? The FPV world and video-making community usually use some type of action camera to record their footage that they will later edit and then publish. In this case, race drone pilots would to this day have two cameras on their drone, one for the live feed to the googles and the other for recording the end footage used for videos and movies. But now that DJI has released the new air unit that can record 4K at 60FPS (which is good quality) people might not want to go out and buy another camera just to have a bit of better video quality out of it. It also allows them to export the gyro data recorded from the air unit and let people put them into other platforms such as gyroflow to let them stabilize the footage like they want it to be. Another benefit of the air unit is, if people don't have the action camera on their drone they will have a lighter drone which will give them more control or the reduced weight can allow them to have more flight time with a bigger battery. In the future, I believe that we will see more people ditching the action camera and they will just use the new air unit.

World Cup Update Daniel Peña-Vega, Jo-Veit Lewe Since Germany won the World Cup in 2014, expectations were high for this World Cup as well as the one in 2018. However, Germany simply did not meet the expectations this year, which is sad because its performance in 2014 was absolutely perfect. In 2014, the 7:1 against Brazil and the last-minute free-kick goal from Toni Gross, for example, showed great skills. But the team dynamic changed after that World Cup due to a lot of good players leaving the national team or being too old like Schweinsteiger. This has likely damaged the team a lot and they needed to find new players now.

It is the first time in 36 years that Canada qualified to play at the FIFA World Cup. This was mostly because of Alphonso Davies, and Jonathan David. The last time Canada was in the World Cup was in 1986.

France won the last FIFA World Cup and there is supposedly a curse to whoever wins it last. The curse started off with France, who won the World Cup in 1998 and had to exit the competition in the group stage four years later. The winner of the 2006 World Cup, Italy, was eliminated from the 2010 World Cup in the group stages. The 2010 champions, Spain, met with the same fate in 2014. Germany, who won the FIFA World Cup in 2014, followed suit with a shock exit in Russia four years ago. Following this curse, France should not win the World Cup this time. However, we can see, their performances have been fine, even with having many crucial players injured. Many predicted France might also have a chance of winning it again.

A few countries were out of the World Cup in the group stages such as Qatar, Ecuador, Iran, Wales, Mexico, Germany, and a few more. The countries that have passed the Round of 16 were pretty predictable. The Netherlands won against the USA 3:1 with a good game. Argentina won against Australia 2:1. The game was balanced but Argentina was a bit better. The match between France and Poland was mainly dominated by France - Kylian Mbappe scored 2 goals. The goal from Poland was scored in the 9th minute of playback time through a penalty by Lewandowski. Senegal lost 0:3 against England. Senegal gave their best but it was just not enough to beat a top team like England.

It is now the semi-finals, in which Morocco is playing against France, which is surprising, and Croatia against Argentina. Our hopes were that Morocco and Croatia win, so they both go to the finals. If this was the case, our prediction were that Croatia will win against Morocco 1:0.

Portugal vs Uruguay Eusebio played for Portugal from 1963 till 1971 scoring 9 goals in the competition. On Monday the 28th of November, Ronaldo scored in his 5th World Cup appearance, equalizing this record. The goal was a header in the 54th minute of the game, assisted

by Bruno Fernandes. This means Ronaldo has a chance of being the top scorer in terms of goals scored in the World Cup by a Portuguese player. Portugal has secured their way to the knockout stages, giving Ronaldo even more time to break it. The significant goal happened in the Lusail Iconic Stadium, which is in the Country of Qatar.

Ronaldo's incredible statistics Ronaldo’s record in the league shows that he can win with any team and at any position. He fits almost all the playing styles. The Portugal national team is not filled with many stars. Yet he has won many games for Portugal, which makes him one of the most important players in Portugal. Ronaldo’s play style mostly consists of headers; therefore, he mostly stands near the goal. He made the most goals with his head in the world with 112 goals.

Ronaldo and his selfless personality In addition, Ronaldo has donated millions to charity, including one of his Ballon d'ors (Men's player of the year award). One Ballon d'or is estimated to be worth around 15 Million Euros! Ronaldo also donates blood for cancer patients, as well as, people who lost a lot of blood due to an injury, or even to treat patients with blood disorders.

What is Ronaldo up to now?

Ronaldo and his Portuguese team have been knocked out of the world cup by Morocco. He hasn't been doing well this season and the public does not like it. Even before this year had started he had received 12,520 hateful tweets towards him making the pressure immense for Ronaldo. Since then he has likely received even more! After the loss, he is now returning to training with his personal trainer as he was kicked out of Manchester in November.

Why did the person to create the keyboard go with qwerty instead of abcdef?

Charly: I think he went with qwerty due to our daily language which makes it easier to type.

Daniel: qwerty was made to make it more difficult for to type since abcdef was too easy Jo: Because of hand-eye coordination Jonas: Because the person arranged the letters the way they are used the most.

Kris: If he's the creator he was probably just mad bored and changed it. I won't lie, the abcdef would be very much easier, but we move. Whoever made it is a W. Luke: The qwerty keyboard is a lot more efficient to type with than the abcdef keyboard Lukas: Because in the 1200s there was the man that decided that there was a meaning to the qwerty keyboard and it would bring a spiritual god to our earth.

Milan: To make it more comfortable to type on.

Yu-Su: QWERTY keyboard is to slow down typing and prevent key jams.
