Die gemeenskap van Reitz, veral onder die boere, het onlangs hulle dankbaarheid betuig teenoor lede van ‘n plaaslike sekuriteits-maatskappy, ‘Bassopa Security & Tracking’ se Reitz tak, waar lede daarin kon slaag om ‘n beweerde en beplande plaas-aanval af te weer. Die maatskappy berig op sosiale media

onlangs dat hulle inligting ontvang het waar daar beplan was om ‘n weelose boer op sy plaas aan te val. Hulle skryf verder dat die boer, wie se naam nie bekend is aan die media nie, blykbaar ‘n senior burger is en permanent in ‘n rolstoel vasgekluister is.

(vanaf voorblad) …was op die roete oppad na die boer se plaas, waar hulle omstreeks 22h00 die aand vasgetrek is.

Vyf (5) verdagtes is vasgetrek en die voertuig waarin hulle gery het, ‘n klein Mazda met ‘n MP registrasie nommer is gekonfiskeer deur die polisie. Drie (3) van die verdagtes is inwoners van Reitz en die ander twee is inwoners wat van Gauteng afkomstig is. Die lede van die maatskappy het die verdagtes aan die Reitz SAPD oorhandig en die polisie het

bevestig dat hulle die saak verder sal ondersoek.

Boodskappe van dankbaarheid is op Facebook aan die maatskappy en sy lede gedeel, wat by die suksesvolle arrestasie van die booswigte en in die beweerde operasie betrokke was. Een persoon skryf: “Watse kans staan ‘n ouman teen 5, waarskynlik gewapende, mans? Dankie dat julle die oom kon red uit die kloue van die tragiese-statistiek van plaasaanvalle!”

Danksy ‘n onlangs- baie suksesvolle manne-aand, waar Andries Vermeulen die verhoog betree het, het die ‘Reitz Woman’s Society’, en verskeie ander rolspelers dit reggekry om ‘n bedrag van meer as R125 000 in te samel, met die bykomende hulp van skenkers wie se hande en harte oop was. Die organisasie het reeds in September 2022 op sosiale media geskryf: “'n Groot dankie aan elke liewe persoon wat bygedra het tot die sukses van ons manne-aand saam met Andries Vermeulen. Die goedhartigheid van die manne teenwoordig het 'n reuse bedrag van R125 436 verseker vir Huis Sorgvry en House of St Paul. Elke organisasie het vir ons vooraf 'n prioriteitslys voorsien waarvolgens ons die fondse, item vir item, sal bestee. Hou ons blad dop vir die oorhandigings.” Intussen en onlangs, kon die organisasie weer hulself na sosiale media wend om die ‘wens-lyse’ en die items waarop besluit was bekend te maak. Hulle skryf: “Hiér word splinternuwe wasmasjiene, tuimeldroeërs en skinktafeltjies vir Huis Sorgvry en House of St Paul. ‘n Paar van die vele wense wat moontlik gemaak is deur die goedhartige mans teenwoordig by ons Andries Vermeulen manne-aand verlede maand.”

Cloud Computing As we progress at a rapid pace into the fourth industrial revolution, it has become increasingly critical to understand how to make use of the vast computing resources available on the Cloud to adapt to changing business needs. The days of creating and servicing internal Information Technology infrastructures are rapidly fading in the wake of Virtual Computer infrastructures to make IT environments more flexible, scalable, and affordable. What is Cloud Computing? “The practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer.” This course on Virtual Computing will equip you with not only the knowledge to understand the most fundamental Cloud computing concepts, but also provide physical practical exposure to configure a variety of Virtual Computing technologies such as Oracle Virtual Box, VMware Workstation, Microsoft Hyper-V, and more. As a cloud computing consultant you can offer your services to a company, with the unique selling point that “a high-performing private cloud can help cut up to 60% of operational expenses”. Boston prepares people, whether new to

the workplace or employed in an industry, to offer services in Cloud Computing and its configuration, set-up, and networking, to any large or small to medium enterprise. Course Layout: • Introduction to Virtual Computing • Working with Oracle VM Virtual Box 5 • Working with VMware Workstation 12 Pro • Data Centre Virtualization and Cloud Computing • Working with Microsoft Hyper-V • Working with Virtual Machine Manager • Working with VMware vSphere • Implementing a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure • Introduction to Cloud Computing The online structure of this course provides guided access to live server environments for configuring Virtual Computing platforms from anywhere.

New careers new world and a new you - Preparing for a future that matters

By Natalie Rabson on behalf of Boston City Campus.

You can’t predict the future, none of us foresaw a pandemic that’s for sure! But data experts can strongly recommend what job you should pick for a successful future. When looking for one of the best jobs of the future, two considerations will be crucial: What jobs are or will be well-paying? And what jobs will expand dramatically as the world recovers from Covid19? There was already a tendency for redundancy as certain jobs were being phased out due to new tech and IT innovations. So we all need to upskill and upgrade our CVs. Have a look below at the jobs with the strongest and weakest growth rates (Using data from the USA Bureau of Labour Statistics), as predicted over the next 10 years. The 10 best jobs for the future include App developer, Computer systems analyst, Nurse practitioner, Physical Therapist, Health Services Manager, Market Research Analyst, and Personal Financial Adviser.

These predictions take into consideration a world post Covid19, providing a good salary, as well as the job having manageable entry requirements. The 10 worst jobs for the future mention careers such as floral designer and furniture finisher, door-to-door sales person, and gaming cashier. Not coincidentally, these jobs cannot be done remotely, and also many involve handwork and craft work that may eventually become automated. Says Alida Hattingh of Boston Welkom, “We encourage the learner to stay ahead of the curve by ensuring they acquire valuable skills, stay relevant in their workplaces, and learn to operate the new tech.” “Automation has helped us shop, work, and learn from home, many people do not want to go back to a world where everything had to be done ‘in-person’. Grocery and clothes shopping

online boomed, and while many were ordered back to work, some employers appreciate the increased productivity of having people work from home and have adapted a fluid approach to ‘office hours and ‘office desk workspaces. Online education helped people adapt to a new world of remote learning, remote working, and digitization of jobs," she says.

Computer systems analysts analyze data processing problems to develop and improve computer systems.

With 53 000 new positions projected by 2026, and an average salary of up to R700 000 per year, IT seems a great place to start to develop a lucrative career. Software systems developers develop operating systems, and network software. The projected new positions for developers are double that of computer analysts in the USA. Computer and information systems managers plan, direct, and coordinate computer systems. With a Systems Development Diploma or Network Systems Diploma from Boston under your belt, you are looking at entering one of a projected 43 000 new jobs by 2026, and an earning potential starting at close to R200 000 per year. An alternative to studying for a medical degree would be to study business and then enter the medical industry as a Medical and Health services manager. With the explosion and regulation of healthcare services and medical insurance, there is a need for these graduates to plan, direct, or coordinate health services. Alida concludes that there is an appropriate career for every learner, and believes in matching skills and interests to your career path.

“This is the formula for success. A motivated student becomes an ambitious graduate”, she says.

CORNÉ VAN NOORDWYK In die afgelope paar weke, of liewer die afgelope paar dae, het Suid-Afrika afskeid geneem van verskeie groot name in die vermaaklikheidswêreld.

Jy self het seker reeds of gelees of gehoor van bekende akteurs en sangers wie ons moes groet? En vanoggend vroeg toe ek my sosiale media oopmaak, die nuus van die bekende radio-persoonlikheid, Jeremy Mansfield, wat sy stryd teen kanker verloor het. Dit bring my dadelik by die gedagte dat ons lewenslyntjie maar hier op aarde binne ‘n oogwink vir ons geknip kan word. In ons weeklikse Christelike kolom, lees ek Wilna Botha skryf dat ons moet vrede maak met ons vyande en die strydbyl liefs moet neersit. Ek wil nie haar onderwerp die week oorneem of oor dieselfde ding praat nie, maar dink daaroor. Gaan slaap elke aand met ‘n skoon gewete en weet jou saak is oral reggestel, by jouself en almal om jou. “Life is short, and every moment is precious. Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.” Ek hoop julle geniet dié week se Veldbrand… ‘n mooi week vir JOU!

“As jou vyand honger is, moet jy sorg dat hy iets te ete kry. As hy dors is, moet jy hom iets gee om te drink. As jy dit doen, sal jy hom verskriklik skaam maak.” (Rom 12:20, Die Boodskap) Ai ja, mens kan mos nou verwag om iets só ongewoon in die Bybel te lees! Wie wil dít nou doen? Die menslike en natuurlike optrede teen jou honger vyand sal dalk wees om jou te verlekker in sy situasie, jy kan dalk dink (en sê!): Jy wil mos! Kry nou vir jou! Ly nou maar lekker honger, jy wou my mos te na kom. Die Here se verwagting vir sy kinders is egter om téén die natuurlike gevoel op te tree. Dalk is dit tyd om die strydbyl te begrawe met daai familielid en hulle uit te nooi vir ’n ete. Dalk is dit tyd om dinge uit te sorteer met jou moeilike kollega by die werk – dit sal makliker wees rondom ’n koffie en ’n lekker skon.

Dalk is dit tyd om dinge reg te stel met jou buurman wat jou te nagekom het – bedien hom met iets om te eet. Ek dink dis moeilik om nog kwaad te bly vir iemand wat na jou uitreik met ’n bordjie eetgoed, of saam met jou om ’n tafel sit en eet. Wanneer mens sáám eet, ontlok dit gesprekke. Wanneer mens sáám rondom ’n tafel is, kom daar dalk ’n nuwe perspektief en ’n nuwe verstaan en medelye met die ander persoon. Kyk wat sê die teks sal die uiteinde wees: jou vyand sal skaam kry! Hy sal selfondersoek doen oor sy houding, hy sal vergewensgesind wees, hy sal sien dat jy hom respekteer ten spyte van sy optrede of gevoel teenoor jou. Is dit ’n maklike opdrag? Beslis nie. Is dit moontlik? Ek dink so. Kom ons gaan probeer dit. “Doen van julle kant af alles in julle vermoë om in vrede met ander mense te leef. Laat staan al julle wraakplanne, my liewe broers en susters. Dit plas glad nie by gelowiges nie.” (Rom 12:18-19)

Rubrieke Klitsgras Die dorpie van ons het nou maar vir jou ‘n paar tertjies wat behoorlik die koek vat! Vir die een tertjie (kom ons noem haar sommer ‘n peppermint crispie) kan nie genoeg kry om haar oneindige liefde vir ‘n getroude Eva te betuig nie.

En sommer so terwyl Eva se Adam pool speel.

En dis nie die eerste keer nie hoor. Die peppermint crispie wil nie ophou nie en Klitsie het nie nodig om te wonder wanneer die peppermint crispie ‘n paar klappe gaan kry nie. Los die Eva uit wat gevat is en gaan soek ‘n ander gewillige tertjie waarmee jy saam ‘n stukkie koek kan eet.

Die ander tertjie (kom ons noem haar ‘n melktertjie) het ‘n gespierde Adam maar o nee dit wil voorkom of daar dalk ‘n te kort aan ander spiere is want onse melktert deel sommer haar nommer so op die slippie wat jy by die toonbank kry as jy klaar geshop het uit. Melktertjie het haar oog op ‘n sekere Adam en doen toe weer die slippie ding. Adam stel toe gelukkig nie belang nie en vertel vir Melktertjie dat hy allergies is vir melk en dit melktertjies ook insluit. Melktertie het nie opgegee tot die Adam se Eva haar mooi laat verstaan het om haar Adam uit te los of sy gaan wys vir die baas die slippie met die nommer. Nou ja toe. Melktert het hopelik die boodskap gekry om maar met haar Adam wat regtig gespierd en vreeslik sexy is te bly. Never a dull moment.. Klitsie
