Brutus 2014

Vol 4

Wow! Ek kan nie glo dat nog ‘n jaar so vinning verby is nie. Dit voel soos gister wat ons in jooltyd wakker

gemaak is met ‘Timber’ terwyl die eerstejaars hul venster danse oefen.

Na jool het klasse ons sommer weer vinnig laat besef hoekom ons eintlik op universiteit is, maar toe die eerste toetse kom toe is ons sommer ordentlik in

die bek geruk (ekonomie 114 – negatief merk baie dankie). Van daar af het dit gevoel soos ‘n resies en

nou is die eindstreep uiteindelik in sig.

Dit is tans lente, maar vanaf die 1ste Desember (asook my verjaarsdag) gaan dit werklik somer wees

en dan moet alles reg wees vir Jooltoer. Ons moet daardie ‘herre’ sommer vinnig afhandel sodat die

feestelikheid saam met ons MAD2 vennote, Dagbreek, kan afskop.

Meisies, medehuisbewoners en susters: my boodskap aan julle is om elke oomblik van die vakansie met

albei hande aan te gryp. TV en slaap gaan altyd daar wees, maar die herinneringe en tyd met ons

geliefdes gaan nie. “Use your time wisely”

Baie liefde

Gehoor in die gange

“As my ma vra hoe my vraestel was, sê ek baie lekker, dankie. So lekker, ek dink ek skryf hom sommer volgende jaar weer.”

As ek nie ‘n outfit kry om aan te trek nie, las ek maar die SS en swot in my kamer.

“As ek nou kon teruggaan skool toe, doen ek matriek as ‘n vak.”

“Ek moet by die huis gaan swot, want ek moet nog al my notas print en my printing credits is op. En dis die einde van die maand. Plus Admin A is ver van die koshuis af.” – Op die rooiplein

“University is easy. It’s like riding a bike. And the bike’s on fire. And the

ground’s on fire. And everything’s on fire because you’re in hell.”

“Hulle dink wat ek heeldag dra is pajamas, maar dis eintlik my swot-pakkie.” –Tina Brand

“What is the main reason for failure? I think it’s exams. What do you think?”

“Die meeste ouens besef dit nie, maar mens kan gaan gym sonder om vir Facebook daarvan te sê.” –tweedejaar

“Ek sou hierdie som vir jou verder probeer verduidelik het, maar ek het nie handpoppe en vetkryte nie… Jokes, maar ek weet regtig nie hoe om nog te verduidelik nie!” –in dive SS.

During the 5minutes of a test every student gets a super power.

I’m at that point in the semester where if a car hit me, I’d probably say thank you to the kind stranger.

“Teekan se getalle het so baie afgeneem van Junie-eksamen af, ek hoop Dagbreek besef wat die lyfies moet prysgee…” –een van dié wat wel nog teekan bywoon

Unfriendliness in “The Land of the Friendly People”

Tropical beaches, coral reefs, a warm, turquoise

ocean. This is probably what a typical description of

Mozambique would sound like. Located on the South

East coast of Africa, Mozambique is bathed in rich

history. Thanks to its natural beauty, wildlife and

historic heritage, the country’s economic and tourism

sectors have been insurgent in the past years. Driving

from Johannesburg to Maputo takes less than seven

hours. A journey along the Limpopo River, taking in

sights such as Vilanculos Beach or the Cahora Bassa

Dam, could easily help you relax after the stress of

exams.

However, if you take time to look past the appeal of

attractions such as the Bazaruto Archipelago with

islands like Santa Carolina, seen on the second

season of Survivor South Africa, you will come to

learn that for much of its existence, Mozambique has

had to endure various forms of political unrest.

After gaining independence from Portugal, The

Peoples Republic of Mozambique was established

on 25 June 1975. Only two years later, the country

was uprooted by an intense civil war that would last

16 years. Waged between the ruling Mozambique

Liberation Front (FRELIMO) and the newly formed

Mozambique Resistance Movement (RENAMO), the

conflict led to the collapse of infrastructure, lack of

investment in productive assets as well as

widespread famine. The period was also marked by

human rights violations from both sides, including the

recruitment of nearly 10 000 child soldiers by

RENAMO. The war formally ended in 1992, with an

estimated one million deaths and over five million

displaced refugees as a result, as well as the

bespoke death of the country’s first elected

president, Samora Machel.

Recently there has been resurgence in RENAMO

activity. A renewed rebellion that began in October

2013 has already led to more than one hundred

deaths. A ceasefire has been in effect since August

of this year, allowing elections to be held in October.

FRELIMO and its presidential candidate Filipe Nyusi

were declared as victors on 31 October 2014.

Tensions remain high however as opposition

parties challenge the results of the elections

citing claims of fraud.

Thus far the violence has not been centered in

regions popular with tourists. If you plan to travel

to Pemba with its renowned Portuguese

architecture, or you want to dive with whale

sharks in Tofo, or want to see any other of the

numerous cities and towns and beautiful gems

that Mozambique has to offer, we urge you to

do so with caution.

Although you and I can add nothing to

immediate efforts of relief, just by setting aside

our ignorance and realising the need of the

citizens of countries like Mozambique that are

under threat of political unrest, we can already

help to preserve the natural beauty and the

cultural and historical significance of

landmarks.

Love is in the sun (maybe still on maties crushes

for some) Dates in summer are always the best no matter how

cheap and small they are. Nothing beats being in the

sun and experiencing life with that special person. So

this summêr, make everyday a valentine’s day with these

cheap summer date ideas:

1. Back before PlayStation and series consumed our

lives, the local park was the best place to be in the

universe. So go out into the playground and have

summer fun.

2. Cookout. That is always a great way to get creative

with some exotic spices and a lot of flavor.

3. Biking is relaxing and healthy. Take a ride and

have some fun getting fit together.

4. Outdoor Concert. Leave the iPod at home and go

listen to some live music. Many cities or towns offer

outdoor concerts. It’s a great way to enjoy the music or

dance without the stuffy club setting or overpriced

drinks.

5. Hiking is sweet and romantic and definitely

cheap.

6. Be a tourist for a day. Take time to explore around

your city and create memories.

Fountain hopping. One of the most romantic movie 7.

scenes of all time is from Fellini's La Dolce Vita where

Anita Ekberg and Marcello Mastroianni danced in the

Trevi Fountains, but you don't have to go to Rome to

recreate this romantic moment. Grab a towel, some beach

balls, maybe a floating mattress or two, and head to the

nearest park/college/campus/any place with lots of

fountains, and pretend it's your personal resort for the

day.

8. Have a stargazing picnic: Make dinner, grab some

bug spray, and head outside or up to the roof to eat

under the stars. You can make it romantic by setting up

lights, pillows and blankets - your own romantic rooftop

fort. Make a playlist for the occasion as you lay back

and try to point out as many constellations as you can

9. Spend a Hot Day at the Zoo: You probably don't

remember how great the zoo really is. The adorable

animals, the cotton candy, feeding time in the lion cage.

You can walk around all day, holding hands and

there's always a new topic of conversation right around

the next corner. Don't worry about the heat. If you get too

hot, you can always head to the Rainforest Building,

cuddle up, cool down in the artificial mist while exotic

birds fly over your heads.

10. Ice cream dates. There is nothing better than going

ice cream tasting, trying out all the unique flavors and

figuring out what you like best. It’s cheap and cooling

Religious Education According to the 2001 census (The recent census with

religious statistics due to low priority) in South Africa;

Christianity, Islam and Hinduism are the three largest

religions in the country. Amongst many others,

Christians make up 79.8% of the South African

population, Muslims make up 1.5% and Hindus make

up 1.2% of South Africa’s population.

The diversity that is in South Africa comes with

various cultures and religions and that are depicted in

Nerina as well. These different religions have different

practices, origins and so forth. It is quite essential

that we try to learn and acknowledge each other’s

religious beliefs to obtain more respect for one

another. Embracing our differences will strengthen

the sisterhood that is already apparent and make our

experience in Nerina remarkable.

The purpose of all major religious traditions is not to

construct big temples on the outside, but to create

temples of goodness and compassion inside, in our

hearts. – Tenzin Gyatso, 14TH Dalia Lama.

HOPE is the soul's best bower anchor let

go in good holding ground. Through every

trial, through every woe, in health, in

sickness, in poverty and in want, hope, like

a bright fixed star of promise, shines

aloft and bids us not despair. Hope

entered the dark chambers of our childish

hearts, and has ever since been the sun

of our existence, shining day and night,

never dark, never extinguished. Hope joined

us in the cradle, and will be with us at

the last.

Hope never dies in the breast of man;

It may slumber and sleep for a while,

Then wakes up refreshed, all its troubles

to scan,

And meets them half-way with a confident

smile.

At home or abroad, on land, on sea, in

prosperity or in adversity, hope's beaming

star ever lights us, sometimes feeble,

but oftener bright; sometimes weak, but

oftener strong. Hope is the murderer's

cell, and with the shipwrecked mariner on

the desert isle; in the palace, and in the

cot; it is shining with surpassing splendor

by the dying bed of the Christian, and

flickering round the couch of the infidel.

Hope met our first parents in Eden, and

will be with the last man on earth. Hope is

part of our immortality; we hope on, and we

hope ever.

EK IS MY BREIN

Dit behoort algemeen bekend te wees dat die bron van

sowel ons plesier, vreugde, gelag en vermaak as van ons

smart, pyn, angs en trane niks anders as die brein is nie.

Dit is besonders – hierdie orgaan wat ons in staat stel

om te dink, te sien, te hoor en die lelike van die mooie,

die slegte van die goeie, die aangename van die

onaangename te skei. Die brein is ook die setel van

waansin en kranksinnigheid, van angs en verskrikking

wat ons oorval, dikwels snags, maar soms selfs oordag.

Daar lê ook die oorsaak van slapeloosheid en slaaplopery,

van gedagtes wat wegraak, van vergete verpligtinge en

van vreemde verskynsels.

Hippokrates (omstreeks 460-370 v. C.)

“Alles wat ons dink, doen en nie doen nie, gebeur vanweë ons brein. Die bou van

hierdie fantastiese masjien bepaal ons moontlikhede, ons beperkings en ons

karakter. Ons brein maak ons wat ons is. Navorsing oor die brein is

lankal nie meer net ‘n soeke na die oorsaak van breinsiektes nie, maar ook ‘n

soeke na ‘n antwoord op die vraag waarom ons is soos wat ons is; dit is ‘n soektog

na onsself.

Die boustene van ons brein is senuweeselle of neurone. Die brein weeg een-en-

’n-halwe kilogram en bevat 100 miljard neurone - dit is 15 keer meer as wat daar

mense op aarde is.”

- So skryf Dick Swaab in sy boek “Ek is my brein, van baarmoeder tot alzheimer”.

Dick Swaab is beslis nie ‘n swaap nie, maar wel ‘n

internasionaal bekende breinnavorser en die leier van ‘n

span navorsers by die Nederlandse Instituut van

Neurowetenskappe. Hy was ‘n professor in neurobiologie by

die Universiteit van Amsterdam en 30 jaar lank die hoof van

die Nederlandse Instituut vir Breinnavorsing. Vertalings van

“Ek is my brein” is ook gepubliseer in Sjina, Duitsland, Italië,

Tsjeggië, Israel, Korea, Taiwan, Serwië, Hongarye en die VSA.

Hier volg ‘n fassinerende uittreksel uit sy boek onder die

opskrif:

Die verliefde brein Niemand wat die heftige en plotselinge gebeurtenis van ʼn

intense verliefdheid kan onthou, sal sy keuse van ʼn maat as

“ ʼn vrye keuse” of “ ʼn weloorwoë besluit” bestempel nie.

Verliefdheid met die eerste oogopslag oorval ʼn mens

doodgewoon. Dit is suiwer biologie - met die geluksalige

gevoel en al, die heftige liggaamlike reaksies soos ʼn

bonsende hart, die gesweet, slapeloosheid, emosionele

afhanklikheid, sterk gefokuste aandag, obsessiewe

gedagtes aan en jaloerse beskerming van die maat, en die

gevoel van verhoogde energie.

Plato (ca.427-347v.C.) het ook al die outonomie van hierdie

proses raakgesien. Hy het die seksuele impuls as die vierde

vorm van die siel beskou. Dit sou onder die naeltjie

gelokaliseer wees, en hy beskryf dit soos volg: “absoluut

irrasioneel, en iets wat boonop geen dissipline aanvaar nie.”

Verliefdheid is by die mens dwarsoor die wêreld meestal die

grondslag vir paarvorming.

ʼn Mens sou dink dat vir iets so belangrik soos die kies van ʼn

maat om ʼn gesin te begin, ons breinkorrels baie bewustelik

die keuse van die regte maat sou maak. Maar nee, tydens

die hewige verliefdheid waartydens al ons aandag en

energie op slegs een maat gefokus word, is dit die

breinareas diep onder in die brein – strukture wat die

onbewuste prosesse reguleer – wat aktief is.

Breinskanderings van mense wat nog maar kort en intens

verlief is, toon die eksklusiewe aktivering van breinstrukture

wat ver onder die breinkorteks lê, wanneer hulle ʼn foto van

die geliefde gewys word. Veral die belonende sisteem wat

jou ʼn lekker gevoel gee en dopamien as chemiese

boodskapper gebruik, is baie aktief. Dit is ʼn breinsisteem wat

gerig is op die verkryging van ʼn beloning, in hierdie geval

die verkryging van ʼn maat.

Hierdie belonende sisteem is nie net betrokke by

verliefdheid nie, maar by alles wat ons as plesierig ervaar en

boonop ook by verslawing. Dit verklaar ook die hewige

“onttrekkingsimptome” wanneer so ʼn intense verhouding

verbreek word. Hierdie sisteem word veral aan die

regterkant van die brein geaktiveer. Die graad van

aktivering word bepaal deur die aantreklikheid van die

gesig op die foto en die intensiteit van die romantiese

passie.

By verliefdes styg die bloedvlak van die streshormoon

kortisol ook, as ʼn uiting van die stresvolle situasie waarin hulle

is. Die stimulasie van die bynier tydens hierdie stresrespons

veroorsaak dat die testosteroonvlakke by verliefde vroue

styg en by mans daal.

Eers wanneer die verliefdheid ʼn ruk lank bestaan, word die

prefrontale korteks geaktiveer. Dit is die voorste deel van die

brein waarmee beplan, en gewik en geweeg word.

Wanneer daar ʼn stabiele paarvorming plaasvind, verdwyn

die aktivering van die stres, asook die verandering in die

testosteroonvlakke.

Natuurlik het die sintuiglike verwerking in die breinkorteks ʼn

rol gespeel tydens die opwindende periode – ons het ons

maats per slot van rekening gesien, geruik en gevoel. Maar

dit is nie ʼn bewuste keuse vir juis daardie persoon nie. Die

belonende sisteem wat evolusionêr baie oud is, maak dit vir

ons duidelik wie “die ware een” is en koppel op dié manier

voortplanting aan die - in elk geval vir daardie oomblik –

“regte” maat. Eers as die hewige verliefdheid verby is, neem

die breinkorteks oor.

Jy kan daarom nie jou seun of dogter wat skielik op die verkeerde een

verlief raak, verwyt dat hulle hul breine moes gebruik het nie. Hulle

doen dit, maar daardie dele van die breinkorteks wat ná ʼn oorwoë,

bewuste oordeel tot ʼn ander beslissing sou kon kom, raak helaas te laat

in die proses aktief.

“Dis ALLES my brein se skuld, Pa!”

Finding the perfect swimwear for your

body shape

Marnia Wessels

Summer is here and “Jooltoer” is just around the

corner. All you need is a swimsuit that will

highlight your body in all the right places. Finding

the perfect swimsuit may cause more stress than the

exam. Fortunately, there is a way to find the perfect

swimsuit for your body type. The most important rule

for swimsuit shopping is to achieve balance. You want

the bottom half and the top half of your body to

balance out.

The four body types:

-Hourglass

-Newspaper

-Apple

-Pear

Hourglass

Your upper and lower body are very similar in

measurements and well-proportioned. Woman with

hourglass figures have a distinctively narrow

waist.

*You need extra support on top, so look for

halter tops or swimsuits with enough coverage.

*Be careful to wear the classic string bikini

with a triangle top.

*Stick to a bikini with a matching top and

bottom.

Newspaper

There is no big difference between the size of

your hips, waist and shoulders. With the lack

of a defined waist, you are the opposite of a curvy body.

*You do want to add some curves, so go for ruffles, ties

and girly detail to add some volume.

*Girly detail such as floral prints are always a winner.

*Try to draw the attention to your hips with a detailed

bottom.

Apple

The top half of your body is generally

bigger than the bottom half. You

have a large chest and stomach,

but slimmer hips. You tend to gain

weight above your waist.

*A swimsuit with a belt will instantly make your waist

look smaller.

*Rather go for darker solid colors and matching tops and

bottoms.

*A V-neck and solid side panels will give you a taller and

slimmer upper body.

Pear

Pears tend to have

smaller upper bodies and

larger lower bodies.

Your hips are a bit

wider than your shoulders and you normally

gain weight below your waist.

*With a small chest you do want to add some

volume to your upper body, so go for a

detailed top.

*Try fold-over style bottoms, it will give

you a slimmer look below your waist.

*If you go for a two-toned swimsuit, keep it dark on the

bottom.
