Many of us have been celebrating Oktoberfest for as long as we can remember. Have you ever wondered where the tradition started? Here’s a list of fun facts to help you become an Oktoberfest aficionado. 1. Did you know that the first Oktoberfest was held in 1810 to celebrate Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig’s marriage on the 12th of October? The citizens of Munich were invited to join in the festivities, which were held over five days on the fields in front of the city gates. 40 000 people were in attendance. 2. In the beginning, beer was not available at Oktoberfest. Alcohol could only be purchased and enjoyed outside the venue.

3. Oktoberfest has been cancelled 24 times because of disease and war. In 1854 and 1873, cholera epidemics forced the fest’s postponement. It was also cancelled during the Franco-Prussian War, WWI and WWII. 4. Did you know that Albert Einstein worked at the festival? He was employed as a trainee in his uncle’s electrical company, and the then-owners of the Schottenhamel tent decided that they wanted to be the first to take advantage of electric lighting, which is why Einstein was employed to screw in light bulbs. 5. Despite its name, Oktoberfest actually starts in the third week of September and lasts until the first Sunday in October. #Septemberfest 6. Only six breweries that brew within the Munich city limits are allowed to participate in Oktoberfest:

Hofbräuhaus München, Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu, Paulaner Bräu, Löwenbräu, Hacker-Pschorr-Bräu and Augustiner Bräu. 7. The mugs themselves are hot items at Oktoberfest. Security guards annually recover approximately 150 000 from would-be souvenir hunters. Many are not recovered: The Hofbräu tent alone averages 35 000 missing each year. The fine for stealing a souvenir mug is R600. 8. Glass steins were late to the party: It wasn’t until 1892 that beer was served in glass mugs. Traditional beer steins were made of stone and later metal, and while some of those are still used, they are far outnumbered by their modern glass cousins. 9. You can’t start drinking until the mayor says so. Since 1950, the festivities only begin when, at noon, twelve guns sound a salute and the mayor cracks open the first beer barrel, yelling “O’ zapft is!” (“It’s tapped!” in the Bavarian dialect). The mayor then hands the first beer to the Minister-President of the State of Bavaria. 10. In November of 2008, Bavarian waitress Anita Schwartz broke the record for most beer steins carried at once. Schwartz balanced 19 full beer steins—5 in each hand, and 9 positioned on top of these—and walked 40 meters without spilling.

I think you are going to love these bite size Pancake Pops. Plus, they are so easy to make. Makes about 20 bite size pancakes YOU’LL NEED: • 1/2 cup flour • 1 tablespoon of sugar • 1 teaspoon of baking powder • 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda • 1/4 teaspoon of salt • 1/2 cup of fat-free plain yogurt • 1-2 tablespoons of milk • 2 tablespoons of melted and cooled butter • 1 egg, lightly beaten WHAT TO DO: 1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add yogurt, butter, and

by Melissa at No. 2 Pencil – http://www.number-2-pencil.com lightly beaten egg to the same bowl. Add enough milk to make batter stir-able, 1-2 tablespoons depending on the thickness of the yogurt. 2. Scoop out a heaping teaspoon of pancake batter. 3. Drop the pancake batter onto the hot griddle. Give the pancake about a minute to set up on the griddle side so the lollipop stick won’t go all the way through, then place the lollipop stick in the batter just shy of the top of the pancake. Press stick down and use your spoon to smooth out

the valley in the batter, that way you will have pancakes that look perfect on both sides! 4. Space the rest of the pancake pops out, so you have room to add the sticks. 5. They cook really quickly since they are so small. About 4-5 minutes on the first side, and around 3 minutes on the second side. Once the edges start to dry out, they are ready to turn. 6. To flip the pancake pops use a small spatula to lift them up a bit, then you can use the lollipop

stick to give them a quick turn. The lollipop stick was warm, but it wasn’t too hot to handle. Just be careful not to touch the griddle! To serve: Pile them up on a platter with fresh blueberries and maple syrup, and enjoy!

et jy geweet dat jou daaglikse doen H en late én jou eetgewoontes jou vel se gesondheid beïnvloed? Dit is waar-

om dit so belangrik is dat jy genoeg slaap kry, dat jy genoeg vloeistowwe en die nodige vette en vitamiene inneem. En dit alles juis in die somer.

Hier is sewe sakies waarop jy moet let wanneer jy in die son wil speel: • Bly tussen 10:00 en 14:00 uit die son uit! • Moenie jou vel te lank aan regstreekse sonlig blootstel nie. • Drink genoeg water (agt glase per dag). • Onthou die “Vyf Varses”: Maak seker dat jy genoeg vars groente en vrugte eet, enigiets wat ’n groot hoeveelheid vitamien C en E bevat. Spanspek, broccoli, lemoene en neute is goeie moontlikhede. • Onthou die antioksidante. In die somer is bessies en aarbeie volop. Die antioksidante in hierdie helder vruggies help met die afbreek van die slegte selle wat die skadelike gevolg van die son se ultravioletstrale is. • Vermy kos met ’n te hoë soutinhoud. • En, dalk die belangrikste, belê in ’n goeie sonskerm – en gebruik dit. Geniet ’n veilige somerson-seisoen!

CHECK IT OUT - Top 14 ALS Ice Bucket Challenges Gone Hilariously wrong We know it’s not polite to laugh, especially if people are doing it for a good cause. But it seems like some people still have a hard time with simple things… The clever folks at You Tube have combined the top 14 ALS fails into one hysterical clip. Go check it out on our facebook page, or search for it on YouTube.

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is the latest trend to sweep the world, basically it requires people to dump a bucket of ice water over their head or donate money to ALS, then challenge 3 people to do the same within 24 hours. It has become so popular that most of the biggest names in music, sports, movies, and politics have taken the challenge, including; Bill Gates, Justin Bieber, Oprah, Justin Timberlake, Jimmy Fallon, and pretty much everybody else.

DIE BELANGRIKHEID VAN DIE KEUSE VAN ADRES “Bewys vir my waar ek dit ontvang het, ek het dit nie ontvang nie, so ek is nie aanspreeklik nie.” ‘n Sin wat ons daagliks hoor wanneer iemand reageer op ‘n aanmaning en/of dagvaarding. Ons het dit goed gedink om die lesers in kennis te stel van die Konstitusionele Hof se uitspraak in Kubyana v Standard Bank 2012 (5) SA 142 CC wat meer duidelikheid oor hierdie situasie sal skep. Die Hof het twee vrae gehad wat beantwoord moes word: Wat is die stappe wat 'n kredietverskaffer moet neem om te verseker dat die kennisgewing van wanbetaling ‘n verbruiker bereik voordat 'n verbruiker litigasie mag begin? Tweedens, wat moet die kredietverskaffer bewys ten einde die Hof te bevredig dat hy sy verpligting behoorlik nagekom het om lewering van die statutêre kennisgewing aan te bring. In terme van die Nasionale Kredietwet, artikel 130 saamgelees met artikel 129 word voorgeskryf dat kennisgewing aan ‘n verbruiker gestuur moet word na die adres wat die verbruiker gekies het, synde sy domicilium adres, waar hy betekening van alle kennisgewings sal ontvang. Die Konstitusionele Hof het bevind dat indien ‘n kredietverskaffer ‘n kennisgewing stuur na die adres wat deur die verbruiker gekies is, die plig op die verbruiker rus om die Hof te bewys dat hy dit nie ontvang het nie en dat dit nie ‘n regsplig op die kredietverskaffer plaas om die Hof andersins te bewys nie. DIt is dus belangrik dat verbruikers, indien hul van adres verander, dit duidelik en skriftelik onder die aandag van die kredietverskaffer moet bring. So in die toekoms verseker dat jy nie onverwags betrap word waar aksie teen jou ingestel word sonder dat jy kennis dra van ‘n dagvaarding en by gevolg vonnis teen jou toegestaan word nie.

2. Place the stamp in the section you want to stamp and try not to move it around while applying pressure on it. On glazed surfaces this is tricky but if you’re gentle you will get it done without difficulty. Don’t stress if you have a bit missing on a little section or get it smudged – the overall look will be slightly distressed and simply adds to the charm of the piece. 3. After it has dried properly you can glaze it with a couple of layers podge, making sure it dries thoroughly between layers. Bake your bowl, plate or mug for 60 minutes on 90 degrees Celsius with the door of the oven slightly open. Different makes of glaze have different baking requirements so be sure to read the instruction carefully. We were truly thrilled by the final result – now you give it a go!

SAOU-vasvrae Alhoewel die SAOU-vasvrae kompetisie ‘n groot uitdaging vir ons Gr. 7-leerders was, het hul elke oomblik daarvan geniet. Gerhard Ackerman, Neil Bekker, Kirsten Grobler en Leané Nell was baie opgewonde oor al die kennis wat hul met hul voorbereiding opgedoen het! Die uitstappie Kaap toe was ‘n groot ondervinding vol pret en plesier en sal nog lank onthou word.

Hokkie Die 0/13A-hokkieseuns het hul hokkieseisoen op ‘n hoogtepunt afgesluit. Hul het groot welslae by die Kenridge-toernooi op Stellenbosch behaal! Hier is Eugene van der Merwe in aksie. Hy het met gemak sy opponente uitoorlê op die Stellenbosch Astro baan. Afgesien van sy hokkie-vaardighede, vaar hy ook uitstekend in die swembad! Hy is ‘n kranige swemmer van wie ons nog baie sal hoor! Ons is baie trots op hom wat die SWD-kortbad kampioenskappe oorheers het! Die afgelope kwartaal het ons seuns en dogters baie blootstelling op die hokkieveld gekry. Ons spanne het aan verskeie toernooie deelgeneem en goeie ondervinding is opgedoen. Luca Potgieter is ‘n hokkiespeler wat baie vaardig is met sy hokkiestok. Hy beskik beslis oor die nodige vaardighede om in die toekoms ‘n hokkiespeler van formaat te wees.

Wes-Kaap spelfees Ons is baie trots op ons Gr. 1-dogter wat baie goeie welslae behaal het by die Wes-Kaap spelfees-uitdunne! Ané Prins ‘n derde plek in die Wes-Kaapkompetisie behaal en deurgedring na die finale rondte! Ons wens haar baie sterkte toe vir die nasionale kompetisie wat eersdaags gehou word.

Jong Musikante Die jaarlikse Jong musikante konsert is ‘n groot hoogtepunt op die musiekkalender! Ons is baie trots op ons leerders wat tydens hierdie kompetisie as wenners aangewys is. Eckardt Muller, Gr. 7, is as beste junior sanger aangewys, Kaylen Grobler, Gr. 4, was die wenner van die Junior Blokfluit-afdeling en Marize Gouws, Gr. 6, het by die beste junior dwarsfluit-afdeling met die louere weggestap.

Gaming Greatness awaits - TOP 5 PS4 games

The PS4 is one heck of a system, that much is certain. But, seeing as we haven’t even reached the end of its launch window just yet, it’s still a tad light on games. If you’re still debating whether to get a PS4 or Xbox One, this list will make your choice much easier (maybe). Don’t fret, dear reader: our pro’s have played just about everything that’s available for the console, and have painstakingly ranked the best of the best so that there’s no question as to which games deserve your hard-earned pocket money and limited time. - www.gamesradar.com THE LAST OF US REMASTERED The Last of Us is the sort of game that only comes along once or twice a console generation. Its combination of subtle, crushinglyearnest storytelling and gritty action survival gameplay makes it a game you’re not likely to forget-and if there’s just one game you absolutely must play on your PS4, it’s The Last of Us Remastered. This post-apocalyptic tale tasks Joel, a man hardened by tragedy, with escorting a 14-year-old girl named Ellie clear across what remains of America. Most of the world’s population has been transformed into genuinely terrifying zombie-things, and the pair must sneak, fight, and run their way past the many dangers that populate their journey. The slow-burn action gameplay is often uncomfortably tense, forcing you to think about and adapt to each enemy encounter.

BATTLEFIELD 4 No doubt about it, Battlefield 4 on the PS4 is handsdown one of the best ways to experience this absolutely thrilling multiplayer shooter. The visuals look roughly a billion times cleaner, which has a direct effect on the amount of enjoyment you’ll derive from playing it. Few things are as exhilarating as fighting in massive battles with a total of 64 players, watching soldiers duke it out in the streets while tanks hurl shells at anything that moves.   The environmental destruction is more impressive than ever, the battles are tense, and even the single-player campaign has been greatly improved in comparison to the tragedy that was Battlefield 3’s solo offering. If you’re planning on playing Battlefield 4 on consoles, go PS4 or bust.

TOMB RAIDER: DEFINITIVE EDITION The game takes you through Lara’s first desperate, life-ordeath adventure in the early days of her tomb-raiding career. You’ll watch Lara transform from a scared, lost historian to a brutal, do-what-it takes survivor plunging into ancient ruins, crafting makeshift weapons, and scaling impassable cliffs. How do you make a great game even better? Why, give it a complete graphical overhaul, of course. The Definitive Edition does just that, as it offers a revamped, more detailed Lara model, adds new environmental elements to enhance the island’s visual storytelling, and vastly improves the lighting effects to the point you see every raindrop in the sky light up from a flash of lightning.

ASSASSIN’S CREED 4: BLACK FLAG We weren’t too sure what to think when we heard that the Assassin’s Creed franchise would be heading to the high seas in a pirate-filled adventure. What we definitely didn’t expect, though, was for our Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag review to call it the best AC yet. Seriously, it’s that good. The land combat is as strong as ever, and features some of the most interesting outdoor locations we’ve explored in the series--but it’s really the open ocean where AC4 is at its best.

FINAL FANTASY 14: A REALM REBORN Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn captures a lot of what we love about the franchise: It’s got a great story, deep RPG combat and progression. And, despite it being an MMO, which are typically overly complex, it’s a game that plays quite well with a controller. Sure, it’ll take some getting used to, and yes, FF14: ARR is a bit overwhelming at first. But once you do, and once you get acclimated to the controls, you’ll be partying up with others to take down towering raid bosses (Titan, anyone?) in no time. Do be warned, however: because of the constantlyevolving nature of this MMO, you will have to pony up a monthly subscription fee to play it. Worth it? You bet.
